The Hits with the Jono and Ben podcast. Thanks to Challenge, putting the service back into service stations. Not great news for Auckland, the least safe city in Australasia, according to facts and figures at the moment. A lot of crime going around. That doesn't surprise me. Yeah. It doesn't surprise me. The stuff we see. We work in the central city.

You see some fun stuff, don't you? Wild stuff. Yeah. It's the Wild West out there some days. Oh, no. Yeah. You're like, what country are we living in? Yeah. But anyway, it keeps you on your toes, doesn't it?

Keeps you alive. Wakes you up. That's stiffy. Actually, being a dad, it scares you going, oh, at some point, heading into the teenage years, the kids are going to go into town. Yeah. Go to bars. It's frightening.

Go out and about. What a loser I am worrying about that stuff. No, that's not a loser at all. It's only natural. Do your parents worry about you going to town, Joel? I've never had any trouble, lucky enough, but I'm sure they worry every night I'm out. When I used to go and mum used to be like, I never slept until you got home. It's probably the same as your mum, Joel.

When you were like 18 years old or 17 first going out uh they wait up till you get home and the lights are on you get home you're like oh suck it in nowadays joel joel's the one not sleeping the parents were sleeping back in the day now he's not sleeping for three days guys wake up uh yesterday did uh a bit of a photo shoot um the end of the year, put a Santa hat on Sort of photo shoot situation, you know I don't know where those photos are going to go But they've got us in Santa hats

Yeah, and some photos for something else Something exciting that's happening next year Yeah But I tell you, there's nothing more awkward Than a photo shoot I mean, it's not probably awkward if you're a professional model It's what you do, it's your job. But you come in as a, you know,

B-grade radio announcer into the photo. This is not a natural environment for us, Ben. Faces for radio, etc, etc. And we have a limited repertoire of maneuvers, I know, to shoot me. Yeah. Don't we? Well, particularly for what we think

this is, you know, the photos are going to be for. Yeah. They're not high end, you know, fashion shots, you know. We're not going Zoolander. Yeah,

where you wouldn't be doing thumbs up and things like that. Yeah, I understand. If I was, and I've never been asked to do that for good reason, then I wouldn't be like,

hey, goofy face, thumbs up. Yeah, that's one of our moves. We've got the double thumbs up, single thumbs up. We've got the pointing to,

if we've got an object in the picture. It's the hands. What do you do with your hands? That's the thing. Hands in pockets, hands in thing, folding arms back to back. You never think more about your hands

than when you're getting photographed with hands. You're like, where do these go? What do you do with them? They kind of just dangle there, don't they? Yeah. So,

I don't know where I was going with this. This is one of those ones where the boss is going to be like, did you think about how that was going to end? Did you? I'm thinking about it now. Did you think it would end like this? I mean, this is an ending.

It's a disappointing one, but it's an ending nonetheless. We've got a note in our daily run sheet. It says, surprise chat from Taylor. Now, Taylor, our producer, and a surprise chat from a young female radio producer gets the average white middle-aged radio announcer a little jumpy. Ben Boyce, a bit anxious about this one. Yeah, well, yeah, I don't know what's going on.

You should be scared, both of you. You said it was before. You said it's not a good surprise. No, it's not like I'm here to surprise you with an interview with Brad Pitt. Name that. It's not like, surprise, happy birthday. Yeah, no. Surprise, you're both about to be cancelled.

Is it a surprise, you mother fools? Okay, so I've worked at the company now for almost 18 months, right? So we've known each other, I would say, for about 18 months, but closely around the six-month mark. So I would consider us friends, would you not? Yeah, glorious six months. Cherished. Can I just say, before you launch into your tirade,

I've cherished every day. Yes, I've loved, yeah. You've made waking up at four in the morning enjoyable. Great, you know. Well, yeah. Okay, so I do, like, we do talk a lot, obviously. You see my name here and there everywhere on your emails, texts. So I would just like to ask you guys, are you able to spell my name?

Taylor. Yeah, spell it. As in your first name? My first name, yeah. T-A-Y-L-A. Really? So because your text messages, of you would say otherwise what is the spell oh you do oh do we do t-a-y-l-a yes and now it's probably an autocorrect it's not a

cancelable thing i've looked into it right and well you know like how long are you going to be here like how long do we need you How long are we going to be here? For your foreseeable future, mate. Sorry, I just wanted to wind you up. I was just like, do we need to learn how to? Right. It's a revolving door. Here's where the plot thickens.

Every time you text about producer Joel, you take the time out to spell his name correctly. You spell each other's name correctly. You spell our boss Matt, male, Matt's name correctly. But the only other female staff member in the team, Harriet, you also spell her name incorrectly. May you please spell her first name? Harriet, H-A-R-R-I-E-T.

Incorrect. What? She's got a double T on the end. Oh, God. So there's a trend here. I mean, how long is she going to be here? There's a trend, and it involves the male appendage. I think if you don't have one, it doesn't matter about your first name. Oh, well, I'm sorry you got this wrong.

Listen, we have our phones set to sexism mode. What I correct is sexism. You can tell. It's quite clear. Your text just comes through as blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I don't know what she's saying again. Are you banging on again? No, I'm sorry about that.

I'm just saying it's the last one I've got to correct, but I didn't put a capital letter for the T. Inappropriate. Okay, but yeah, all right. Yeah, you especially, John, if you go back. Hey, Taylor, I think I've got it. You but I didn't put a capital letter for the T. Yeah, inappropriate. Okay, but yeah, all right. Yeah, you especially, Jono. Hey, Taylor, I think I got it. Yeah, no, that's right.

Yesterday, that was good. That was good. There we go. And it's also not our fault you have the Bogan spelling of Taylor. Yeah. Are you serious? Yeah, but you're right. Jono just before that did actually. Thank you.

Yeah, he did. Got it wrong. It's a nice way to spell Taylor, not Taylor, like Swifty over there. Again, I'm just winding you up. Well, wind someone else up, mate, because your time's done. Time's up. Get me, get in here, we're wrapping up the show. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.

Yesterday I was waiting at an intersection and a full Lycra cyclist was going to, sorry, not fighting, but really going in on a motorist in front of me. All right. And as I was watching it, it's quite amusing for the audience at the intersection, isn't it? Because it's really hard to take someone seriously when they're yelling at you in full, you know, full Lycra. They're full of Lycra, like in their helmets. They look like sort of a superhero covered in logos don't they cyclists they are a little bit superior but you do feel sorry you feel very vulnerable when you're on the bike though then i guess that's where they where it comes from

and that's the thing yes and there's probably many cars who make probably not uh mistakes on purpose but cut them off yeah open the open a door, things like that. Oh, they are. They're very defensive, aren't they, the cyclists? They're kind of like the rats of the road, aren't they? Because they're like, everyone's coming for me. No one wants me on here. But yeah, I just wanted to get a message across

to the cycling community that when you are in a verbal stoush, it really is amusing to watch as you go. Because you've got the funny shaped helmets as well. It's all very. I had someone come out to me the other day and I was like one of those conversations. You're one of those people that approach you in the street. And they were dressed kind of roughly. They shaved head.

They came up to me and they were carrying a boom box of music. And they came up and approached me. One of those portable speakers thing. And they were playing abba mamma mia out through the and i was like oh this is that took me off guard as well oh they didn't look like they'd ever demographic cracking i have a mama that's your abba audience this is very surprised yeah yeah oh did you think they were gonna have a crack at you well they're asking for something they're asking for some money or something like that. But I was just like, oh.

I was just like, oh. And I wasn't expecting ever, mama mia, but it's a hell of an egg of a jam. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. I just feel like I'm fed up with something. I feel like we need to stop. And that's the amount of passwords that I now have to have. I feel like my brain, the human brain, can only remember so many passwords. And I feel like we brain, the human brain can only remember so many passwords and I feel like we should have the option. Back in the day, I had, honestly, I had one password for everything.

You had a pin you'd use for your Airpods, you'd use for your banking and stuff. And you'd also have one password, whether that was video easy or whether that was just to get a library book out, your email, whatever. It was one password. I was happy with that. Yeah, I think we all were. So were the scammers too. Yeah, I mean. It was low-hanging fruit for them and then eventually over time there was the system put in like

when you're entering a password, weak, not strong enough, moderate. And now you have to change once you do that and you go through that process and they accept you're a password. It takes 45 minutes. Then it feels like, you know,

with some places even here at work three or four weeks later new password time I know you're like I'm happy with the old one and then you're like

I'll just start with the old password one then I'll put two then three and you know you just keep going through and I'm like

it's 25 through the numerical system and then I'm just like just whatever it is I hate it when you go through all that process and they're like no no

you need to add some symbols in there. You want some dollar signs, some percentages, some backslashes. I fully agree with you. I feel like we should have the option and go, yeah,

I know I'm vulnerable to scammers and all that sort of stuff, but if I want to just roll with the same password for everything, that's fine. My wife told me off last night because I've now started writing my passwords in my phone as messages.

And she's like, you're defeating the purpose of writing what they are. And I'm like, well, otherwise, I don't remember them. And so, again, scammers could get in and they could get all the passwords. I've got a convenient document located on my desktop. If the scammers ever get into my computer, they're clearly labeled passwords. They can open up that Microsoft Word boom. There's all those passwords. But if you had just the one password

and you knew what it was, no matter what, you'd be like, okay, well, I don't need to start a document for this thing. I hear you. You know what I do love? I love the ones where they like,

they suggest a password to you and it's like LM5126XXY. Like 49 characters. Do you want this? I'm like, no. They're like, would you like to lock this in? Well, this one's a good one.

This is strong. This is a strong password. I'm like, no. They're like, would you like to lock this in? Well, this one's a good one. This is strong. This is a strong password. I'm like, how am I, do I write that down? What do I do with this? Yeah, you're right. I've been too scared.

Has anyone ever gone, yes, I'll use that? Yeah, I'll use that. 582 words. It's easier to remember. Mash some keys down on the keyboard. It's 4487. Has anyone gone for those

default passwords that they do offer up? Is that enough of it? The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Yesterday I played a little bit of audio I recorded in my mum's car. Her radio was telling her a message every time she got in the car and this was it. ETC card is not included. Found out that actually it was, she needed to pay, put her credit card details in or a card in there to pay for the road tolling. Yeah.

Now you took a gamble. You're like, I will phone a Japanese tourism company and you weren't 100% sure that it was Japanese and you were so relieved when we did phone them. She was really helpful. She was, yeah. She said there's toll roads in Japan and you need your card in we did find them she was really helpful she was yeah she said there's toll roads in japan and you need your car out in there to to get in the expressway you didn't have the details in there so that was a little quirk about my mum's car that she's got at the moment and after the show producer taylor you uh have uh marcella's got a company a work

car basically you've been driving every now and then yeah and what's it's got a function where it does what so yeah after you take it for a spin and park up it politely rates your driving out of five and i can't seem to get it above two just yet so you stop the car it says well done you did a two out of five yeah you park up and it just says driver's rating and yeah two out of five and i was like oh this must be like the standard it gives everyone and then i said i was like no it's not i get like four out of five five and i was like i was like okay cool well you mustn't get anywhere on time then oh so it's based on what like how uh how you are on the roads yes i think it's based on how much you break how closely you drive to other

people how fast you go because it knows the speed limits too obviously because it beeps when you go over i hear that quite a lot do you ignore a lot that might have a correlation to the ranking and i feel like it doesn't the car visually is not cannot see what i'm going through right so yeah you well i hate this night i'm a self-confessed very erratic driver yeah cutting through car parks for shortcuts all sorts of wild stuff cutting up people uh but i have watched you drive, and boy, oh, boy, I know you're a Formula One fan, and you really do. You do channel Lewis Hamilton on the way home. I do.

Just hoofing between three or four lanes, swerving between lanes, getting home. She's like, I was waiting in line to turn right. This car, this beaten up VW, was it VW Golf you got? Yes. It looks like you've done a few, was it VW Golf you got? Yes. It looks like you've done a few laps through a driving range or something with that car, the amount of dents on it. This car just pulls up to me

and she's like, why down the window? You loser in this lane. Mate, cut 10 minutes off and then she's going literally down a lane that says you've got to go straight. She's like, you just cut in. And I'm watching this car like boom, boom, boom, dotting, zigzagging between all these lanes

up to get onto the motorway. I just don't understand why people are comfortable to sit in traffic when you can actually, like, go ahead. No, no one enjoys it. It's just that it's disobeying to the road rules. Do something. Do something about it.

Two out of five. Yeah. Lucky to get two out of five others out of it. Yeah, but mind you, in an already judgmental world, people shoving their opinions down your throat, the last thing you need is your car judging you at the end of a trip. I don't remember asking, but thanks anyway. What are your car quirks?

This is what we want to open up. All vehicles have a quirky situation. Sometimes older ones, not just the new ones, but sometimes the older ones do when things start to go wrong. Yeah, for many years I had a 1975 holden kingswood it for so long and it was fun car but geez not not practical like the window wipers didn't work so i'd be going down the motorway pouring rain pouring and also it leaks the rain would come down in the footwell where the pedals are it'd just be a tsunami right And I had my arm out the window,

literally manually doing the window wipers across the screen so I could see one hand on the steering wheel, one sticking out the window, rain coming, pouring in the driver's window. But it was a good quirk. You got used to it. Yeah, not great for safety, but great for a quirk. Remember, Ben, we would drive all around the place. It was when we were filming the TV show,

and the thrill of it was you didn't know if you were going to get to your destination in that car. Just because it was very unreliable. Sunday night we were coming back from Hamilton it was 11.30, it broke down on the motorway and I said to Ben, oh listen mate, it's fine. You go ahead and get a lift, I'll wait

here for the tow truck driver. I hadn't even finished my sentence. The guy was already in a cab. He said I could. He picked him up on the side of the motorway. Out the window, he's like, boys, thanks, mate. See you later. Good luck. Car quirks. What's the quirky thing that your car has got? Maybe one of your

old cars that you used to have. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Now, just talking about your car quirks. Oh, no, 800. The Hits this morning. 4487 if you want to text. Remember I was just, as the song was playing, remember I had a car where it would get stuck in gear. Remember when I'd have to rock it back and forth to get out of the car?

Oh, yes, that's right. Rock it back and forth to have momentum so it would release itself. To get it going, yeah. And there was no rhyme or reason as to when it would get stuck in gear, but it always seemed to be when you're running late and in a rush. Usually the way it is. Remember you had to get out and help me push it. Push it, just kind of rock it forward, yeah.

Have you had any cars with quirks? I do remember my mate's indicator didn't, it just went on solidly, that little light. And so he used to have to manually do the little up and down, up and down, up and down, and stitch it off and on, off and on, so people would know he was turning. Yeah, well Taylor's partner's car, the work car, is rating, ranking her driving after every trip. Two out of five is the best she's had so far. And I'd say that was probably being generous, having watched Taylor on the roads.

Let's go to Pip. Welcome. You're on. How are you? G'day. I'm good, thanks. Lovely to have you on, Pip. You're in a rush for work, so we'll keep this quick. Your car quirk. Yeah, so I got a bit of stick from people when I bought it.

It's a Toyota Prius station wagon. So we bought it because it's hybrid, so a lot cheaper to run. But it's a very weird car. It's, when you get in, it's like going back in time. The dash is in the middle, so control freaks

can watch the speed from the passenger seat. Everything's in the middle, so control freaks can watch the speed from the passenger seat. Oh, so everything's in the middle console. Yeah, so it's right in the middle, and it's massive. So the Speedo is in digital, and it's really big, which is good, because there's no excuse for speeding. But yeah, the two glove boxes is just weird. Two glove boxes? We've got one each. I've never seen a Prius

wagon. It feels like there was a tester that Toyota went, well that was a shocking idea. We'll send one off to New Zealand to see if any schmucks buys it and you got one. Yeah, it's so nice to drive and it's so cheap to run and it's not sluggish. I thought it would be really slow but it's not.

But it has a secret compartment in the back Which is fabulous And yeah I wrote online It does this little When you've turned it off And it's sat for about two minutes It does like a fart Which is very strange

And I've had it checked out It's fine There's nothing wrong with it Do you know It's funny you mention that Because my friend Jess she's got a Tesla and it has a fart function have a listen so fart mode so from your cell phone you can control your car when you're not here and what does it do yeah like it actually does it. It does long ones as well. That's ridiculous.

Oh, dear. Yeah, so I don't know if your car does that. Same bowel problems that the other car has. No. Elon Musk tasks a team of very intelligent people to probably spend many months coming up with that function. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. We'll get Casey on your car.

Quirk, Casey. Hi. Yeah. So when I was 17, I bought my first little car for $900, and we thought that car went through so much. But we thought we were top-notch mechanics, and we wired in a new radio, and it wouldn't work for the longest time,

so we just thought the radio was broken. And then being on my restricted, I didn't drive that often at night but one day ages after we'd put it in I turned my lights on and the radio started working oh you'd wired it to the uh the light function yeah so you had to have the lights on for the radio to work but we couldn't yeah and so would your radio then turn your lights on for the radio to work, but we couldn't, yeah. It was bad. And so would your radio then turn your lights on? Oh, no, no, no, no. So, yeah, it was just, oh, I don't even know what we'd managed to do, but, yeah.

Oh, that's fantastic. Love it. A lot of people can rework their window wipers as well, and you can do the brake to the horn, can't you? Oh, yeah. When you pump the brake and it's, huh, Warren, your car quirk. What is it, buddy? So my car is a Mahindra Ute 2022,

and the manufacturer has put the service light warning at 10,000 k's, even though the manual has higher ratings for New Zealand. So I have to drive around for 5,000 to 10,000 k's with a service light keep on flashing at me. Oh. I understand a little bit of that. And you can tell by us going, oh.

It's the annoying light on and off. Yeah, that would drive you nuts. Sitting on the dash, it gives you a bit of anxiety, doesn't it? Hey, thank you very much for your calls. Really do appreciate it. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. I just got hit up by a kid yesterday. And kids, no filter. Hashtag no. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. I just got hit up by a kid yesterday

and kids, no Phil, hashtag no Phil for the kids, isn't there? That's the great thing about kids. Yeah.

What's in their head comes out their mouth. Yeah, yeah. There's no stopping it and I've got a relatively big scar on top of my head and it was just a, what's that?

Started touching it and I'm thinking, well, if the answer's not here, that's not there, what's that? Started touching it. And I'm thinking, well, if the answer's not here, that's not there, what's that? So I'm gathering this child's talking about the scar. And when I first got it, remember we did, I think we did a segment on radio.

We're like, I've got this scar. And scars, they hold a certain level of street credibility, don't they? Yeah. And all of that cred, all of that clout is lost as soon as I inform people the scars from a non-cancerous basal cell removal.

Yeah, it's like you've got a mole cut out. So you've got a mole cut out. Moles are still gangsters. They're as dangerous

as a gunshot. Oh yeah, they kill a lot of people sadly, don't they? Probably more deaths from moles than gunshots in New Zealand. Terrible melanoma. So I'm thinking, well, this is my opportunity to really impress this child.

I was fighting some ninjas and nunchucks or knives or something got stuck in there. And then when, again, I had to explain, well well if one bit of advice I could give you would be put sunscreen on and the kids like looking at me like going oh I didn't ask for a TED talk and then I explained the backstory of the origin of the thing completely lost the audience halfway through

I haven't finished it was a basil it had four stitches and that was the backstory of that scar but there are far cooler scar wars stories out there aren't there there are yeah you got any scars i've got a couple i've got a couple i've got one particularly just a little just a little one uh in the middle of my face and it happened on a very calm beach like and i was just like body surfing the waves there was no waves and somehow i managed to like smash my face on a shell

in shallow water like and it was bleeding quite profusely and i had to go to the lifeguard who was like why is someone coming to see me today and they were the thing and i was like i'm visiting myself at the beach they're like what and what out there and it was very embarrassing and i was at body surfing but there was no way so you're just floating I don't know why And it was such a shameful thing And they put a little plaster on basically It was just like yeah Oh see you had a plaster in the middle In between your eyebrows

Yeah yeah And I was like How did this guy injure himself on the beach That was again Not a great Scar story So 800 The Hits This is what we want Scar Wars stories

The Hits The Jono and Ben Podcast We want some impressive Scar stories Because the two of us We're our scars are not, yeah. Yeah, it'll honestly be a bit mundane. A couple of mole removals, Ben fell on a shell on a beach. Very quiet beach. It was embarrassing.

Oh, we're going to kick things off with Marlise in New Plymouth. Welcome from Taranaki. How are you? Good morning. How are you? Oh, we're doing really well. It's lovely to have you on the show this morning, mate What's, okay, the scar wars

The backstory to your scar Oh, it's not my scar It's my husband's scar Yeah He got a stingray barb through his hand Through his hand? Through the whole hand? It went through by his thumb

And along the top Through his hand? Through the whole hand? It went through by his thumb and along the top of his hand. Damn, I see why you stayed with him, he's so dangerous. What happened? Like was he? He was fishing with the kids and I didn't happen to be there that day and I got a call that I was busy doing something so I thought I'll just give him a call in a minute and then I got another call that I was busy doing something. So I thought, I'll just give him a call in a minute. And then I got another call and it was my daughter going, Mum, Dad's been stung by a stingray. What is the pain of that? Did he describe it to you? Like hot pokers being slammed into your skin. Wow. Does it get stuck and you have to remove it,

or does it come straight out straight away? It came out, but we had to go to the hospital, and to actually stop the pain, you have to put it into hot water, as hot as you can bear, because it neutralises the poison. Oh, wow. Far out. But he did have to have it all cleaned out in surgery, and yeah. But now he's got a nice little scar on his hand now.

Yeah, well, I bet he does. I bet he does, and a good story to back it up as well. I'm glad you probably Googled what to do if you had been stung by a stingray because I would have just started peeing on them. You know? Yeah. I think it's just jellyfish, isn't it? Anything that happens at the ocean,

you just start peeing on people, I understand. But listen, Marlise, fantastic. Jeez, you would have been worried about having to get that amputated, I dare say. You have a good day. Love your work. Thank you. All right, Martai, welcome from Christchurch.

How are you? Yeah, good, good. How are we getting on this morning? We're doing really well, mate. You sound like a hearty Kiwi battler. Many scars, Matai? Oh, yeah, I've got a few, but I've got one that's quite remarkable. What happened?

About four years ago, I was diving in Cockroach with a mate, and the water was a bit murky. We were only diving about two, three metres of us. And unbeknownst to me, there was a local shark around the rock we were diving around. And he come up behind me from behind me, my mate reckons, and grabbed me, sort of thrashed me a wee bit,

and then I was stuck out in the water with a little blood behind me. Oh, jeez. You've been attacked by, where has the shark attacked you? On my hip, so around my hip, so apparently I was in the shark's mouth. You were in the shark's mouth for how long? Maybe 10, 15 seconds, he said. Which probably felt like 15 minutes. Yeah it felt like a lifetime really.

Oh my god what is going through your mind as a shark is thrashing you around? Yeah well I can't quite remember because you know I was just a bit blown away while it was actually going on. I was holding on to me here and what am I doing? Do you feel the pain immediately or it sets in

afterwards? Nah, not straight away. You know, it took about, because it's so deep and severed so much, it took maybe two minutes, three minutes. My mate come over and sort of had to drag me out of the water and take me to the rocks.

And what now? Like, did you lose a chunk of skin? I've got a scar about 30, 40 centimetres down my left hip. Wow. Jeez. And so you're lying on the beach bleeding out. How long is it until the emergency services get there? About 20 minutes.

I remember it was passing out, coming in and out of consciousness. And then they took me away and flew me down to Crossridge Hospital Oh my gosh, what a harrowing story Did I tell you about the time I got a molar moved? Yeah, alright, moving on Hey, thank you so much for sharing that with us A remarkable, remarkable story Now, Producer Taylor

She's been with us a while now and we've learned a few things about Taylor Montoya. One is that she is very in touch with the spiritual world, aren't you, Taylor? Yep. And I feel like you book yourself appointments with ladies who wear tie-dye clothing and have faded dolphin tattoos on the lower back.

Yeah, pretty much. And what do they do to you? At the moment, you're on a health kick. Yes, yes. And just, you know, just to feel better. These early mornings, they do get to you. So I just like to get through a day without feeling like I'm dying. Okay, fair enough.

Yeah. So I went yesterday and tried out this new, like, kind of herbal healing kind of method. Here we go. Yeah. And I thought the session was going really well. It was an hour session. And, you know, during the session she's touching areas of my body and say, oh, this muscle's reacting to this, you're deficient in that.

I was like, wow, that's really interesting that you can tell all that without a blood test. It is interesting. Yeah, it's interesting. But everything was making sense. I didn't really tell her much and she was picking up on things that i've had like illnesses and stuff and i was like oh wow this is really cool and then it gets towards the end of the session and she's like all right and she's she's talking not to me she's talking to my body, right? Okay. So she's holding my arm and she's touching a pressure point. And she's like, okay, so how much of this does she need to take?

Okay, yep, so you need to take that. Okay, okay, okay. Oh, so she's having like a conversation out loud with your body. Yeah, and I'm just there for her. So the body is talking back. Okay, okay. Yeah. But you can't hear the body, but I mean she can.

I can't hear the body, which is weird, because you think I would be able to hear my body. But you're probably sending the signals to her, you know. Exactly. Subconscious mind, mate, it's a powerful thing. And then she goes, okay, so how long do you need to take this for? Okay, yep, so three weeks. Okay, and how, when would I need to see her again?

Oh, one week, two week, three week, four week, three week. Okay, so your body's saying you need to come back in three weeks. Three weeks is around like a Wednesday 2.30. Your body's saying you need to come back in three weeks three weeks around like a Wednesday 2 30 uh your body's saying could do for an hour appointment and I was like is it now is my body really saying like something fine I was like I was kind of seeing this as a one and done kind of thing like I'll try it out see the medication if it works and then call it a day but then she went and booked me in for three weeks so now that's really how's your body feeling about this next appointment? Yeah, not good.

Not good. I was happy to just leave it there. But I'll be sending an email shortly. Oh, really? Yeah. Yeah. Like, you had me. And then the 55-minute mark, I was like, scammed.

Yeah. Oh. I reckon, too. Your body's probably saying, I'm feeling like I'm getting really attacked in one part of my body at the moment financially. Taking it somewhere. And the best was when I was telling my mum about it and she's like, oh you didn't. You didn't.

And I was like, well what was I meant to do? And she's like, you're an idiot Taylor. Oh, we have tried it out though. Have you done Reiki? The one where it feels like a very 2023 appropriate massage. Hands off and they just kind of float their hands over your body. No, I haven't, but I'd be keen to try that.

I bet you would. Yeah, yeah. Your body's telling you, you must do right. Hello, Megan. How are you? Hello, I'm good. How are you guys? Yeah, great to have you on.

You spent a large part of the day yesterday in traffic. I did. Stuck in the protests. Yes. But I was cheering them on. It's annoying. It's annoying Stuck in the protests. Yes. But I was cheering them on. It's annoying. It's annoying and I don't know the details but I love watching people be passionate about something.

I love watching people protest and you know democracy in action. Yeah. And it's, I mean if you're late for work it's a great excuse. I didn't know if you, even if you were running late you could blame the protest as a reason. Yeah, exactly. I'm just like you can't sweat about stuff you can't control, you know. So I't know if you, even if you were running late, you could blame the protest as a reason. Yeah, exactly. I'm just like, you can't sweat about stuff

you can't control, you know? So I was like, if I'm late, I'm late. What am I supposed to do about it? Can't get a helicopter. Do you sweat about the stuff you can control? Absolutely. Yeah, but the stuff you can't. You can't get a helicopter unless you're my cosking and then you can get a helicopter, right? That'd be nice, wouldn't it? COVID was also

the good one for getting time off work. It is for many people too. Do you reckon that there's a lot of people going, oh, got it, because that's an immediate five days off the charts, isn't it? Do you know what? I've only had it once, and it was a while ago, and I'm like, oh, come on. Could do with another five days.

Come on. Because I've been sick a couple of times, and I take the test, and I'm like, come on, COVID. Oh, it's just cold. The problem is you think about faking it, but then you're like, if I fake it, then I actually get it. You're going to have to plow on when you actually get it. Yeah, it's not ideal. What to watch.

What are we doing this week, Megan? This is one called Lessons in Chemistry on Apple TV. The only constant variable is the unexpected. We can't control it. It's only when you look backwards that you see how it was all connected. So, this... Jess, you've got a lot of streaming service. Sorry.

I know. You're doing it all. Is there a streaming service you haven't got? No. No, because I'm trying to mix it up because I know not everyone has everything. So, now I feel, to be honest, Apple TV is my friends. And Disney, I use my friends' parents. Right.

Okay, gotcha. How have you tapped into your friends' parents' Disney account? That's all of them. Your friends' parents. Ben was getting upset with his family mooching off Netflix. That's right. Back in the day, because you'd go to watch something, they'd go, too many people are watching this.

You're like, who's watching this? Oh, I know. That's so annoying. That's when I wouldn't know. Other times, it wouldn't worry me. Imagine if Sienna, your daughter, came to you and was like, oh, people watching this. You're like, who's watching this? Oh, I know, that's so annoying. That's when I would know. Other times, it wouldn't worry me. Imagine if Sienna, your daughter,

came to you and was like, oh, my mate is mooching off your account. What the hell? It's a scenario. Yeah, it's you. Yep. So this one is

right up my alley. It's set in the 1950s. It's about this woman who dreams of being a scientist, but obviously she is expected to be in the kitchen,

in the domestic sphere. So she ends up hosting a TV show, a cooking show, but she manages to put science in there at the same time. This is, what's her face? Captain Marble. Oh, Brie. Brie Larson. And she is fantastic at this.

Oh, very cool. Yeah. She's a very talented actor, Brie Larson, isn't is fantastic at this. Oh, very cool. Yeah. She's a very talented actor, Brie Larson, isn't she? So good. So good. And this is just full of misogyny and women standing up for themselves in the 1950s. And yeah, it's right up my alley. Great.

I do. I like the misogyny part. The women standing up for themselves part makes me uncomfortable. When did we give them a voice? No. So what is she doing science lessons disguised as a cooking show? Pretty much, yeah. Yeah, and I think this was a book.

It's a hugely popular book. Only one season so far, but people are asking whether there's going to be a season two. No word yet, but it's very good. You do. We've said it multiple times, but the amount of stuff you've watched. I know. So impressive. I hope it's not our fault that we've started this segment

and we're like, now there's an obligation. And I also like, I'm trying to branch out and watch different things because I'm heavy on the crime docos. And I know that's not everyone's cup of tea. But do you feel like, honestly, is there a burden that we've put on you? Because we're like, it'll be great to get you into this. Yeah, like the weekend, I'm'm like I haven't watched anything new oh jeez

that's why she liked the protest she's sitting in standstill traffic watching streaming shows in the car there could be worse jobs exactly
