They're cooking dinner And yeah So it's your brother? Brother and my dad Alright so they're out there And they're trying what? They're trying to get the barbecue Trying to start the barbecue

Which would think is like a normal Routine activity for most families Not mine So they end up they're trying to get the barbecue working. Trying to start the barbecue, which I think is like a normal routine activity for most families, not mine. So they end up discussing how best to start the barbecue. Yes. And it was all captured on the security camera microphone. Yeah, put it in there. You can't fit the... I know, but you need...

Put the one in there. All right, and I'll burn. All right? And I burn. All right? The air escapes. It doesn't matter. The air feeds the fire. All right? If you go...

All right. Very passionate about the barbecuing, aren't they? So who normally runs the barbecue in your household? Your brother, your dad, or do they both fight over it? So this is where the story even gets better. So my brother met his beautiful wife who happened to live across the road from our family home. So when my brother moved out, he moved across the road.

Oh, they're the opposite of each other. So my dad normally runs the barbecue at the OG family house, and my brother's now just invested in a barbecue across the road. So he thought thought i'll ask dad to come over and show me how to start it oh so your dad's playing away from home yeah i see yeah so that's just a normal wednesday night how was the dinner silent yeah well and you know what that's actually quite tame for them like i've seen some stuff growing up man yeah oh well listen I've seen you and I'm like I'm not surprised let's get down

and get back at the hits the Jono and Ben podcast now yesterday I found myself in a barber shop Ben

which brings you great joy and confusion probably as to why I was in this particularly the shop but I was just taking my son

to get a haircut mullet mullets are oh he's into the mullet game loving the mullet game yeah although you've got to uh you've really got to balance delicately the mullets with the school rules as well right yeah but yeah no talking about for a mullet and there was another person that we knew uh in one of the other chairs and what i found too is watching on the sidelines of the whole barber experience as i started talking to

this guy that we knew but there's other people waiting for haircuts as well and we strike up a conversation now this conversation is in front of not only my son but the person who's cutting his hair the guy who's cutting this other guy's hair. There's three people waiting in line. There's another barber over there. So we're having a catch up across the barber floor. And I'm like, you feel like you're on a stage and everyone's listening to your conversation. Everyone is in that instance, right? You're right. I'm asking him about how's the real estate. He's a real estate agent.

How's the real estate going? What do you reckon about property prices? Everyone else is having to hear this. And you're wanting to catch up but lightly dust you get into it you're like you can't get into a nitty gritty in front of there was eight other people in there watching on yeah right and yeah it's when those well you kind of want those occasions where you want the other barber to start to start talking to the you know your son and so then there's more conversation going like that feels like that's on someone else to start a conversation. I felt like it was Graham Norton for eight people

doing a chat show. I feel like other conversations that have to be had in that situation. Yeah. Like what? Short back and sides and that sort of thing. Or just go, have a go. How's school?

So if Oscar and the bar start talking, then you're not going to be on show because suddenly there's more noise at the moment. Just create other sound. Yeah, I find the same thing because otherwise you, you end up going, I'm just,

I'm just sitting here listening to someone else's conversation. I need to front foot another conversation. Do you constantly talk to your barber? I know you've been going to the same barber. Well, yeah, I kind of go like, he kind of comes over.

He comes over now. It doesn't, doesn't, doesn't my house now, but when I would go see him in the, in the barber chair, when he worked in the thing, yes,

I would constantly talk. But then if he did did stop talking you'd hear other people's conversations then then I'd be like you've got to keep talking you gotta keep talking otherwise you're just listening it's basically you just put the word house before anything how's the family how's work how's the kids how's things you know that's what you need that's as far as you want to go in a hairdresser conversation just lightly dust day the hits the jonathan ben podcast now ben mentioned yesterday the car was in uh getting service and so i was out of vehicle out with without vehicle for a while too and so i had to transport uh my daughter poppy from location a to location b so i just took uh an uber okay uh and i'm sitting in the front she's in the back yeah

uber drivers in the driver's seat that's your stock standard setup yeah and well not necessarily i mean you could have gone to the back as well i feel like you're a front seat person front seat punisher yeah do love a chat in the front seat uh and you do take a lot of responsibility sitting in the shotgun role don't you when you're in transport like taxis ubers even those vans you like tourist vans with other tourists it's your responsibility to be the mouthpiece for the other passengers yeah you're representing the other passengers that's what you know that's what you think at least leading the conversation and you've got to keep things flowing. This guy looked over to me about five minutes into the drive.

He was from America. Oh, right. He's like, you like to party? He said it like that. You like to party? And I was assuming, he said it in a tone of like, I look like a guy who likes to party. Do I look like a party guy? A guy who maybe

partied too much, maybe. Many years ago. And is now dealing with the consequences. But then he took his eyes and he nodded up at, you know, the sun visor that flops down? He's like, pull that down with his eyes. And he sort of initiated

me to pull it down. There's a picture there printed out of the great Bob Marley. Oh, right. and i'm like what is like to party is he going to play three little birds uh i don't know i like bob marley he's like when you see bob you know there's a party and he's like talking in code and then he takes his eyes and he sort of looks down, down beside his legs. There's a satchel there. He's like, you know what I mean? And I'm thinking, yeah, I'm getting what you mean. And just in case I didn't know what I meant, he's like,

do you want me to show you my hydroponic setup? Okay, well, he's definitely, okay. And I'm like, yeah, sure, why not? We're here. So then he's got his phone, you know, it's on one of those holders, pushes play. And there's this video of this giant, very similar to your tomato setup, you've got a whole bin.

Yeah, exactly. Massive, massive amounts. He's like, I'm part of a thing. We do it, you know, medicinally. Oh, okay, great. It's all a thing. There's lights going down. And I'm thinking, in the back, Poppy's, she's there.

And then all of a sudden I hear what's there and he turns he takes it upon himself to explain all right he's a well sweetheart that's marijuana dear God dear sweet Mary Jane he's uh and then he starts talking to me about the benefits of marijuana for children. For children? Children. Children. I mean, no, like I'm not.

He really went zero to 100 on the whole party thing. Yeah. And then he's like, hey, if that's not your thing, I'm also a painkillers guy. You're like, okay. My doctor said I've got lower back pain. Prescribes me all sorts of gnarly painkillers. He's like, okay, we're going to get out of here. Because I've got, my doctor said, I've got lower back pain. Prescribes me all sorts of gnarly painkillers.

He's like, sometimes they come and investigate me just to make sure I'm not selling them and stuff. I'm like, well, you're definitely

trying to sell them. So it was quite the educational trip. It wasn't just. The hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Every mainstream media is doing their big

leaders debate between the major two parties, right? And we thought, oh, we should jump on the bandwagon very late. I love how we keep calling them mainstream media is doing their big leaders debate between the major two parties, right? And we thought we should jump on the bandwagon very late. I love how we keep calling them mainstream media. Not us here at the Hits, mate. Middle of the road, family friendly.

We are mainstream media, right. So we're doing our own leaders debate, Jono and Ben's leaders debate. And first up, we have the Prime Minister, Chris Hipkins, with us. Good morning, guys. How are you? We're doing all right. How are you doing? I mean, we saw you the other morning. Early morning, you were in the same building as us, doing radio interviews with Mike Hosking.

Then I turned on the TV that night. You were on The Project. It must be a relentless schedule. Well, I tell you, it was a perfect day. I can't think of a better way to start a Monday than two hours in the studio with Mike Hosking. It's the best way to start the final week of the election. If anything you like.

Give me three, four hours of this. Yeah, two hours of pounding from Hosking. We saw you across the road in the cafe afterwards. I don't know if you're aware of this, but do you know that everyone in every room you walk into is just staring at you? I couldn't take my eyes off you. Oh, I get that a lot.

It's a very busy schedule at the moment. Have you thought about next week? Or are you just thinking about this? Because next week you could be Prime Minister, you might not be Prime Minister, you might be trying to hatch a deal with... I mean, have you ever thought that far ahead or are you just focused on Saturday? Yeah, look, my focus really is make sure that we've a strong finish

to our election campaign and then on Saturday I'll have a little bit of a gap while everybody goes out there and makes their call and decides how they're going to vote, and then we'll figure out what happens from there. I imagine there's so much strategy behind an election campaign. Have you got like a coach, a campaign coach who's like, you've got to get out there and do this, kiss more babies, do this, another four hours with Hosking, you know, this sort of stuff?

Well, you get a lot of advice, but there's just a lot that you've got to try and pack in in the last week of the election campaign. There's a lot of interviews, there's a lot of media stuff, there's a lot of meeting and greeting people, but you get a lot of energy from that too. It's awesome to get out and just meet people. New Zealanders are actually really lovely people, and so you get to meet some pretty amazing characters along the way.

Jeez, we love shots of you eating on the news too, don't we? I've seen ice creams in the mix this week, as well as the pies, sausage rolls. You know, obviously you're eating on the run. Well, I can tell you, I'll make you one post-campaign. The one thing that I have thought about post-campaign is I'm so going on a diet. Man, oh man.

I've been going around New Zealand just trying to fatten me up, but baked goods in my mouth everywhere I walk. Picking me up just in time for Christmas. Chris Hipkins, Prime Minister with us. Hey, we're doing our own leaders debate. We're giving you both, yourself and Christopher Luxon, equal time on these hard-hitting questions. Now, we all know, the general public know

where you stand on the big issues. But these are the issues that really matter to us. All right, first one. Pie or sausage roll? Oh, sausage roll. Okay, sausage roll. Come Monday, neither. Strict diet.

Piece of lettuce. Okay, all blacks or warriors? Oh, up the waz. It's a 50-50 equation, that one. But yeah, no, the warriors by nose. North Island or South Island? Actually, you're going to get me in trouble because I'm in the South Island right at the moment.

So if I said North Island, I'd get into trouble. But as a Wellingtonian, you've got to say North. Okay, cookie or cassava chip? Oh, cookie. Lord of the Rings or Dave Dobbins' Slice of Heaven? Slice of Heaven. Oh, tomato sauce or onion dip with your chips? Your chips? Depends on what

sort of chips. If it's potato crisps like chips, then definitely the onion dip, but if it's hot chips, then tomato sauce. Okay, you found a hole in our... I don't think you thought that question through, guys. I think you need to put more work on that. Someone's on top of his debate game.

You're not really debating with us, are you? Hey, mate, we're not trying to steal your job. Yeah. Next one. Shoes on or shoes off inside? Shoes off. Okay. Coffee or tea?

Cup of tea. Cup of tea. Mike Hosking or Jono and Ben? Jono and Ben. Jono and Ben. Mike Hosking or Giorno and Ben? Giorno and Ben. Chris Hipkins or Chris Luxon? Chris Hipkins. Go with the chippy.

Very nice to talk to you. All the very best. Along with all the other parties this weekend, the election. At the end of the day, all you're wanting, both parties, whatever side of the equation you're on, everyone just wants the best for the country. Isn't that right? Look, I think that's true.

I think we've got different views about how we can achieve that, though. And so I hope that people will make informed decisions, get out there and figure out who's going to be best for the sort of country that they want to live in and make an informed choice when they go out and vote on the weekend. Chris Hopkins, thank you so much for your time. Cheers, guys. Great to talk to you. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. The old children's

sports games, and a big shout out to all the volunteers at all kids' sports across the country. Like, there are some really good people volunteering, putting themselves at refereeing, coaching, assistant coaching, you name it.

It takes a village to raise a basketball. No, I don't know. But yeah, you started well. But yes, you're right. There's meaning there. A lot of people that give up a lot of their time, usually unpaid to help out sports teams. Sometimes the kids aren't even in the team.

They just do it because they love the sport and love giving back because it's awesome. Well, I was at my son's basketball game and they were short of officials on the side. Right, yeah. So then they look around to see, oh, it's an official. And I overheard them saying,

oh, we're short of one person. And I thought, well, jeez, people pleaser here over here. I said, you're short of Someone, I'll step in. They're like, great. So I'm walking over to the scoring area for the basketball game, and I'm thinking, oh, I'll just have to flick some numbers over on a wooden board. Sometimes it's on an app.

I find them with my daughter's netball games and stuff. You can do that, but that's quite stressful. You have to sort of, you know, pay a lot of attention to the game i turn up there and there's a goddamn board full of more buttons than a nasa spaceship okay this board is a meter long and they're like this is the board you'll be running now this is the scoreboard a digital scoreboard oh so you're in charge of the digital scoreboard? There's a digital goddamn scoreboard. Why is it so complicated? I don't know. I don't know.

You're really, I'm sure it's not that complicated. It's so complicated. Look at that desk pushing our radio show. More buttons than that. Is it? Really? A lot of buttons. Well, maybe not many.

No, okay. Half the buttons are there. Still many buttons. And when the game's starting in 45 seconds. And so they're like, hey, this is how you run the board. And, you know, when I'm listening to instructions, you've lost me by the second one. And I'm just going, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

They're like, time out. This is, you know, the foul button. This is the score button. Plus one, minus one, free throw, you name it. I think they even added a button for that sound effect. You know, the organ one. I could have pushed that at some time. There were so many buttons.

There's a lot of technical little things within basketball too. You're right. Oh, yeah. And you're communicating with the referees, explaining the calls they've made, and then you signify this on this digital board. Oh, dear God. I had a shocker. And absolutely, like, parents were coming down going

that's not the score and i'm like i know i know at one stage i think i had it like 123 to minus 32 it was a night our team doesn't have that many fouls okay i'm getting to it you know it was too much flap and this is my point a lot of a lot of credence is given to the referees yeah oh they're volunteering you know don't don't hurt the credence is given to the referees. Yeah. Oh, they're volunteering, you know, don't hurt the referees, don't abuse the referees. Jesus, spare a thought for the scoreboard people. They're sitting in silence.

I haven't seen the scoreboard screwed up before in any games I've ever been at. I've been to a lot of sports games. I've never once ever gone, that's cool, but anyway, okay. Screwed up the score of the game. There's a lot to be factored in. Yeah.

And I am not a saver of hands when it comes to that. So one and done. One and done on the scoreboard. Yeah. So we want to know this morning, oh, Andrew, the hits of 4-4-8-7. The sideline suckers. Yeah. What shocking events took place on the sideline?

Yeah. Balls to the face, I imagine happens all the time. Yeah. Were you a part of the action when you don't really want to be. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Yeah, we're talking sideline suckers. What happened to you on the sideline of a sports game? I was just thinking that, well, it wasn't sideline, but we were sitting in the crowd at the Breakers game close to the action one time,

and on the footage for the camera that the win on Sky my daughter Indy she was very young at the time she had a juice and she we didn't know that she actually dropped she actually dropped the juice and then caught it again and looked around she was this was on Sky Sports she looked around and I didn't notice no one noticed at all but but she was on screen and the commentator friend of ours Andrew Mulligan was commentating oh what a great catch by Indy Boyce he said that on the commentary, which made New Zealand look so small at the time that even the commentator knew a kid wasn't the crown

about eight rows back. And if I'm not mistaken, there's my cousin in the row behind Indie Voice there. That's right. Hold on, there's four of my ex-girlfriends sprayed across the corporate box there. It's like, jeez, New Zealand looks small. It does.

So sideline shockers, what's happened to you? Shaleen, welcome. How are you? I'm fine, thank you. How are you? Good, thank you. Did I say Shaleen correct? Yes, it is.

Good, thank you very much. I have a track record of 80% getting names correct. What was the sucker on the sideline there, Shaleen? Well, it wasn't at a school sport, but I did volunteer to help out at a school garden, and I thought I'd be sort of collecting money at the White Elephant Store, and I got there, and they popped me on the candy floss machine.

Ooh, OK. Now, if you're on debut there, it's quite an art, isn't it? It is an absolute skill. I think you need to do at least a three-month course to do it because seriously, I didn't even get it right after four hours. It was just an absolute nightmare.

You would have just been like, hey, kids, shove your head in there for five seconds. Open your mouth. There you go. There's your fixer candy floss. I appreciate your call, Shaleen. All good.

Have a good one. Louise is with us. What happened on the sideline? So I was at high school. I was only about 14, so it was a bit humiliating as well. Yeah, no, those are years where you don't want to stand out in a crowd. Yes, and the result was a big white plaster right in the middle of my face. They used to put a cast on your nose back then.

What happened? Well, I was literally just standing on the side of the court watching the basketball. I couldn't play to save myself. And I got hit in the side of the head with the basketball, and I was wearing glasses. So the impact pushed my glasses over and broke my nose. Oh, no. Now this seems like the beginning of a high school romantic comedy. It does. No, unfortunately not.

He didn't make up with the hot jock basketball player or anything like that? He didn't become the belle of the ball, the king and queen of the prom? No, very geeky 14-year-old actually with glasses and then a big plaster on my nose. You said they put a cast over your nose, did they in those days? Yes. Listen, they didn't worry about humiliating you back

then, did they? Let's chuck a big cast across your nose just to make you feel better about yourself. Well, at least it wasn't, you know, these days, probably someone would have filmed it on their phone and it would be all over the internet. So at least it wasn't these days, probably someone would have filmed it on their phone and it would be all over the internet, so at least that hasn't happened, right? No, no not at all. I think mum's got a photo somewhere

but that's well hidden I think. Yeah, no you would be a meme I'd be like, you think you're having a bad day sort of thing. I always wonder that with the celebrities that sit courtside at the NBA games, I'm like they've got to pay a lot of attention. You do.

You know, like Kim Kardashian's going to end up with, you know, like all those celebrities. They've got to almost be on their game more than the players. I know. Don't they? Because they're not expecting, you know, at any stage the ball could hit them. Like you. It could happen to you.

And you can't brag about a sporting injury where you weren't playing. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. I had to pick up a car yesterday. I was getting serviced and I was just waiting for the job to be done, Ben. I was just filling in about 15, 20 minutes

and nearby was a sunglass shop. Right. Now, I've told you my policy on sunglasses just due to the fact that I'm shocking at losing them. Sitting on them, breaking them, losing them.

I had a record where I actually purchased a pair of sunglasses 10.15am. They were gone by 2.15pm. Wow. Same day. Yeah. So then I'd resorted to, okay, the bar I'm setting for the pricing on any sunglasses I've purchased now are between $5 and $10. Okay.

So I'm going to those $1, $2, $3 shops, you know, where they've got the spinny round things you take your pick get some sunnies with flames painted down the side of them or something they always say that those glasses they have a little stick it's like 100 uv protection is it how come this one's only costing me seven dollars well after wearing those sorts of glasses for six months my corneas would say different yeah i feel like my retinas are burnt off but now no, I just went into the sunglass shop. I was like, I'll just see what's there. So this is a more, a flasher.

So kind of a, yeah, higher end one. And you go in there and you start trying on sunglasses. And jeez, there's always the most trendiest, nonchalant Gen Zers working in those sunglass shops. Yeah, yeah. Aren't they? Very, and don't smile. They don't smile like Winston they very and don't smile they don't like winston peters they don't smile uh but then the wonderful lady she came up and she's like um what are you after i

was like i'm just trying on some sunglasses and she's like well i know style she knows style okay she's like i'll bring out some for you to try on. Jeez, mate. She had me looking like bloody Elf and John. Some pretty adventurous ones. Yeah. You know? I think it's a confidence game. It is. At one stage, I felt like one of the members of Migos, the rappers.

Yeah. And then I was like, oh, hey, listen, I'm pretty sort of safe when it comes to sunglasses. I told her that the backstory and, you know, what I have been doing recently with the cheap ones. And then she pulled out the most dad boring sort of aviator Tom Cruise looking. The Joe Bidens. The Joe Bidens. He's like, yeah. She probably like, I tried to get him into something stylish and he's like, oh no. He's like, all right, dad, here you go. Put those on my face. Put these aviators on. Then she did that thing. Then she did that thing.

She's like, yep, I know style, and those work with all of this. And she did that thing where you do your finger like a wand and then draw a border around a person. All of this. All of this. What is this? What does that mean? Probably do work with all of this, yeah. You work with all of this? What is this? What does that mean? I probably do work with all of this.

You work with all of this? Anyway, I couldn't bring myself to pay you for the sunglasses. Oh, so after all that, you didn't do it? No. She would have gone, well, thanks a lot for wasting my time here, mate. No wonder they don't smile. Exactly. Producer Taylor, you're back with us after a bit of a vacation.

Now, before the break, before we headed away, you revealed some news to us that we couldn't mention on the radio. You're like, don't say this on the radio. It was a big secret. That was it. Is that how I sound? Bang on. Bang on.

Is that not you? You can't tell the difference. So, yeah, before you guys went on break um as you know we wake up very early for this job and sometimes you're not always thinking straight so we've just moved into a new place for the first people to rent this place um and i just floored the car straight through the garage door on my way to work yeah you were worried that your husband, Marcelo, would hear this, but he obviously didn't. He didn't hear it because I knew everything was fine

because he texted me before he caught the flight to Brisbane to play their semifinal. It's a place for the Warriors if you're just getting on up to speed. And I came in and was like, holy crap, I've just smashed my car into the garage door and I can't tell him because I don't want to derail the whole semifinal game. You don't want to ruin the Warriors semifinal. I don't know if it was a forward pass that ruined the semifinal.

The refs didn't pick up. It wasn't you crashing the car. Fair, fair. But I know something like that would have derailed him. So I kept it under wraps until after the game and I got him at a weaker moment when he was heavily intoxicated. And I told him about it, which went down fine, until he soaped it up and came home and saw the damage.

He's like, don't worry about it. So we've had to keep this filthy dirt. I felt dirty keeping this secret from Marcelo, Ben. But looking at your car, is it the same one that's parked outside today? Yes, yes. It looks like you've just driven that thing through a golf driving range. I know, I know. It's really bad.

I need to get it fixed. But first is the garage door. Stevie Wonder has less dents on his car than you do. You have so many dents on that vehicle. I do. And this happens to me all the time, which you'd think I'd learn, but I think because I'm in such a rush all the time. Like I had a car crash in my driver's test.

I scraped a pole while the driver instructor was in the car, so that was fun. Did you get the – did you pass? I did pass. No, okay, right. I passed four times later. Okay. Did it take you five times to get good?

It did. It did. They run a pretty strict regime in Sydney though, so. And then I might as well back home in sydney and my parents had just installed this brand new gate that was on rollers um again went straight through it and had to break the news to my mom while she was up oh this is what we want we want uh untimely accidents what has happened to you uh i mean there's no real great time for an accident. I saw a guy scrape his car along the pole in the car park the other day, and I could see just sadness in his eyes.

And then he saw me that I had seen him, and then I looked away to pretend that I hadn't seen him, and it's a low point. Remember we were down the line, and someone, first day on the job, they were just dropping us off to a work event. Oh, that's right. And they were pulling out of the car park against a rock wall, and we heard, and I opted for the glass half full system. We're going, hey, don't worry, it didn't sound too bad. Yeah, you're like, maybe it'll pop out as we shut the car door. We're trying to shut the car door.

We look back, and we're like, that definitely isn't going to pop out so it looked like she'd entered a demolition derby four four eight seven uh accidents that have happened that you maybe had to keep on the down low the hits the jonah and ben podcast diana untimely accidents what happened to you good morning um so i was driving to an appointment in the work car and I was parking down a side street, just reversing, did not see the very low hanging branch and it tapped the top of the back window and shattered it. No. The work car too. It literally exploded and I was crapping myself naturally.

I was like, oh my God, do I call the boss? Oh my God, what do I do? So I just called the boss. I was like, oh, I'm so sorry. And? And she was like, it's very disappointing. Oh, see, there's no good line, though. Yeah, she did the disappointing cut. Oh man, just disappointed.

There was a former workplace, that poor chap who was Day one Day one Drove into the work garage And didn't really factor In the height of the garage And the vehicle

That he was driving And got stuck Literally stuck In between the roof And the ground The car And I think he just Walked out and left

He's like There's no coming back No you can't Come back from that They can figure out What's happened Hey Tiana Really appreciate your time.

You're going to have a wonderful Thursday. No worries. You too, guys. You're a legend. Shelly, good morning. Hi there. How are you? Yeah, we're doing well.

Unfortunate accidents. Yeah. You can hear the guilt in her voice. Yeah, this feels like this was a while ago. What happened? So my mum got a brand new Suzuki Swift car, and me and my friend decided that we would take it out because the keys were just sitting on the bench

and she had driven a car before and I hadn't and she was like, oh do you want to hop on the passenger seat the driver's seat and you can do it and I was like oh okay. So that should have been maybe where you thought the things could have gone wrong but anyway. You said the car was new.

How new? Like brand new. Like literally just pulled up that day and parked outside the house. My mum hadn't even driven it at that point. Oh, no. Okay, so first day of this car. All right. Bear in mind, I was only 14 at the time.

So we come to this corner and I start to turn. And my friend's telling me what to do. It's an automatic. So, you know, you think it's easy and I'm turning so slow that I end up, I don't know, crashing into this bank sideways. There's a car coming up the hill. They

just look at us weirdly and we just wave at them. They wave at us and then drive on by. We're in our school uniforms and everything. I start freaking out. My friend's like, put the handbrake on. I don't know what the handbrake is. She's like she's like i'll take over i'll take over and then we literally had to drive back around home park it up perfect and my mum still doesn't know to this day luckily there was no damage i do do not know how there was no damage because it was a white

suzuki and she doesn't know to this day. Well, she might know this day. Yeah, she might know now. Unless you want to call her, we can tell her. No, mate. Good on you, Shelly. Well, you go and have a great day. Awesome, thank you. See you, mate.

Great text here, 4487. I was younger. My parents went away for the weekend, and we were sitting in a pastor's car, so a religious pastor that was sitting in the car, and I wanted to go to the shop, so I in a pastor's car, so a religious pastor that was sitting in the car and I wanted to go to the shop so I took the pastor's car and I didn't realise how powerful it was and I drove it right through the front fence.

$18,000 worth of damage. You can get forgiven for those sins though. I don't know, how would the pastor be in that situation? I don't know. You'd have to try and be quite chill. He might be saying some words that normally he'd say in church, but maybe sound a little sweary on this occasion.

What to Watch with Megan. A lot of people talking about the David Beckham and Victoria Beckham documentary that's on Netflix right now, including Megan Puppers, who joins us from the day show. Good morning. Good morning, guys.

How are you? Yeah, we're doing well, mate. Doing well. Andrew, your hubby, what's he been doing overseas? He's been in South America, in Brazil for the Tintiners. Great for him, eh? So lovely. I did see him at the Christ

the Great Redeemer sort of Brazilian, the famous monument statue there. It's pretty cool. It's an iconic, you know, statue, monument, isn't it? Honestly, I've always wanted to go to South America, and I've always wanted to see that statue. Yeah. So, yeah, I'm happy for him.

Well, at least he got to do it. Now, the 10 tenors, I thought it was just like an Australian, New Zealand thing. No, so they go to America. They go to South America, obviously. They go all over. Wow. And they played massive sold-out. One of them was like an arena in Brazil.

What number tenor is he? Number nine actually The only reason they actually have numbers is for their formation so he's number nine Not based on ability I think he'd like me to clarify that So is he away a lot singing with the ten tenors? Everyone's always like oh that's so great for him

Yeah I'm here looking after the kids. It's great for you to come in and tell us what to watch. Beckham, like everyone else on Netflix. Over here, baby! My life had become something different. We were worried that he'd lose all what he'd worked for. Because football come first and all of a sudden it wasn't.

It definitely didn't change me. Well, you changed. There's no doubt about that. Very talked about and a lot of great feedback I haven't seen it yet But all I'm hearing Is positive glowing reviews I don't know

I haven't even followed His football career Now that I've watched it It's amazing to watch What he went through Because he had some Controversial times Yeah

But one of them was like He got a red card In the final of some game And England It was a World Cup Oh was it? It was a pretty big moment It wasn't the final of some game. And England, like. It was the World Cup. Oh, was it? It was a pretty big moment.

It wasn't the final, but it was a pretty big moment. For England, this is huge. The World Cup, something. Yeah, but anyway, yeah. Yeah, okay, cool. It's just some game. Just like a random game. Yeah, and he, like, kicked someone.

So, I mean, not ideal, but. But it wasn't. It was very, it was, yeah, it probably shouldn't have been a red card. And what followed was like eight months of hate. And I have no idea how he survived it. And this kind of happens a few times in his career where England literally turns on him. And he comes out the other side. Like the Burma games,

they were singing horrible chants about Posh every time she would go to a game and stuff as well. It was just really, and just things that were death threats and all sorts yeah she didn't even like football so she's like well i don't even like being here and now they're singing yeah horrible chants yeah yeah it's incredible to watch how he gets through that and his mental health because i don't know that i would do they they talk about Rebecca Luce? They talk about the affair. They don't mention her. And also I find it interesting that he says it was really hard on their family and he regrets that time, but he never actually admits it?

No, I've looked online. There's never any like, yeah, they came pretty hard at all the organisations that accused them of actually this being true. So they've never once said it actually happened. You get the feeling from his vibe that he's saying it did, but he never actually says the words and doesn't say her name. But she's had a lot of hate since the documentary's come out. Oh, she'll be loving that.

She's got a family now and she's like, I've moved on. That was like 10 years ago. Yeah, right. Oh, no. Maybe she should do her own one called Fast and Loose. She just gives all the details fast and loose flips

I found it fascinating on the Beckham dock I don't know if you're the same just seeing the small glimpses of their house you know where David's got that

cooking area and stuff and he's the football field that's in the backyard as well you say football field it's like

it's kitted out it's all fenced it's got like a fancy goal. Who does he play football with? His son and stuff as well. He's got a football field. His son was like, we should go a game. We'll get my friends against your friends. He's like, yeah, great. And he was listing

off basically all the world's best footballers. He's like, I probably could get him. I could get him. And his son's like, oh, you're going to win. He's like, yeah, exactly. These people are my friends. Yeah. And the son's like, oh, you're going to win. He's like, yeah, exactly. These people are my friends. Yeah. And his wardrobe is probably every coat hanger is like a finger apart. Yeah. He's like, someone's been in here. Someone's touched.

It's like, yeah, he knew that someone had sort of moved something. Does it rattle him? Even to say he would like clean up after cooking and stuff. And he would like go to the candles. And he hated the charcoal bits inside the candles. So he would wipe inside the candles and recut the wood. And trim the wick. And he's like, yeah.

So I'm like, good, I'm there. That's when you're like, jeez, football really did take up a lot of my time. Didn't it? It did. Megan Pappas, thank you very much.
