The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Thanks to Challenge, putting the service back into service stations. Been making in for Ben this morning, 32 days till Christmas. Wow. Don't want to freak you out. Now, you are a Christmassy person too, which we'll get to later in the show. Fanatic, I would say. I'm okay with saying that. I did notice it on the Zweda Zoom meeting the other day, and I noticed a fully fledgedged well-decorated tree in the background i was like oh jesus we've got a christmas nerd it's only 32 days yeah no i mean this is acceptable to have well how long has the tree been up though

ah since the first of november do you know i've i didn't want to put it on social media because i was scared i was going to get people being like too too early. Yeah, you definitely would have. Yeah. Yeah. And they'll be like, Megan Pappas, the Christmas queen. Have you got Mariah Carey playing in the background? No, I'm a big fan of Sia's Christmas album, actually. It's a good one. We'll get to Christmas obsessions with Megan later in the show. Yes, so, fun day at the Weet-Bix Kiwi Kids Triathlon. It was great.

I think it was the first one. 32nd year of this triathlon. Kicking off the 2023-24 season. Yeah, of the mini little athletes. I was looking after all the drug testing after the event. A couple of positives, but hey, we'll get to those later. Send those to the laboratory. But nearly half a million kids have done that over the years.

It's such a cool event. So cool. And the attitude of the kids was so positive and encouraging. They were so kind to each other. Yeah, they were. But I made a fatal mistake too because we were on the mic. And generally, for the most part, the mic was just handing out information. If you've got a blue swimming cap, you've got to get to the sign and marquee now,

that sort of stuff. But then we found ourselves in a hole and it was thanks to me i'll take this one on the chin i was like kids let's get some inspirational quotes on there and then so once one kid's like give it your best other kids like this starts a snowball effect of like i've got something inspirational so you know everyone wanted wanted to jump on the mic doesn't matter where you come as long as you you know you do let's be support and it would just it went on for 10 or 15 matter where you come As long as you You know Let's be supportive And it was just

It went on for 10 or 15 minutes Yeah We had to pull Because it was a line up of kids They were like I've got something to say And you were like Mate

Sorry And at what point do you Stop and say no You don't get a chance You know you have to cut it off somewhere Well you found that point And you said it And I appreciate you finding that point

Megan But a lot of up to wars as well Feels like If you want to get A under 15 year-year-old crowd in a frenzy, up-to-wars kind of does the trick. Jack, what's that? James. James.

Nearly got your name right. Yeah. Now you have some stuff to say. Okay, so firstly, you should always do the triathlon. Yeah. Secondly, you should always do the triathlon. And thirdly, up the wands! Up the wands!

Up the wands! Up the wands! Up the wands! Up the wands! They get themselves into a frenzy, don't they? They do. It creates a fever pitch too because they're like handing a vivid to Megan

sign my shirt and then they hand a vivid to me sign my shirt and you start signing one shirt and then the hand of others to me sign my and you start signing one shirt and then the other children even though they have no idea who we are feel obliged to get their shirt scribbled on don't know so they were like jono uh sign my shirt they're like are you famous i was like no can you sign my shirt okay yeah one kid came up to me and said where's jono and ben i was like mate it's just been kicked out ben was stealing the bikes from the kids so One kid came up to me and said, where's Jono and Ben? I was like, mate, they've just been kicked out. Ben was stealing the bikes from the kids.

So he's like, can you sign my shirt anyway? But then they'd found a hack because we were signatures all over their T-shirts. And then they said, well, this might be a fatal mistake. So Megan, we're here. We're in a signing frenzy. I really, to be honest, these kids coming up wanting us to sign their shirts, I don't think they have any idea who we are. We're going to have a lot of parents calling us. Also, we're writing our names, which is...

Yeah, on all black stat attack cards as well. Just going on merch that we really don't deserve to be on. But what's your theory, mate? The more you sign them, people can use the signatures to buy stuff. Yeah, right. So online and stuff? Yeah. Do you think this is the world's most elaborate scam?

Yes. Okay, so what are you going to use our signatures for? Buying... Robux? Yeah, and PlayStation 5. PlayStation, yep, right. V-Bucks all day, every day. You're going to buy V-Bucks, yeah.

iPhone 15 Pro Max. Okay, great. Well, you enjoy that. To rob your bank Max. Okay, great. Will you enjoy that? To rob you a bank account. Yeah, great. There has to be funds in that bank account. I have your one too. Okay, okay.

The cutest. I have your one too, lady. Whoever you are, sign my shirt. I'm going to scam you. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Oh, Neil. Oh, 800 The Hits. Neil.

Got to acknowledge a nail for four or seven on the text. Has a stranger actually paid for something for you? Whether you, you know, your car's been declined at the supermarket checkout

and someone behind you has paid for anything like that. It's the dream. Yeah, it is the dream. Almost a pretend. Oh, no,

it's not going through and just see if anyone in the vicinity is willing to even pay for it. Yeah, we'll get these calls on very shortly. Oh, 800,

that's four for eight, seven, because we've got a calls on very shortly, 0800, that's 4487, because we've got a lady on the phone from Christchurch. This happened to her. Thousands of dollars worth. And it was over a chicken sandwich fine. And June Armstrong joins us from Christchurch. Yes, good morning. Must be Jono.

Must be Jono. We've got Megan over here as well. Good morning, June. Good morning, Megan. Lovely to have you on. Now, June, we need to get this done quickly. We understand you're due at a Lawn Bowls game. Oh, yeah, not for an hour and a half. Now, something happened to you over the week.

You were held up at customs in Australia, weren't you? What happened? Well, I got to the airport at four o'clock in the morning, had no breakfast, so I brought a wee muffin and a sandwich, which was filled like a pie, and ate part of the muffin, threw that away, put the sandwich in my bag. Seems like a sensible thing to do, June. Anyway, boarded the plane, didn't eat the sandwich, had a bit of sleep on the plane, and got to customs in Brisbane. And my bag went through the checkout X-ray,

and I didn't think anything of it. I'd filled my card, and then I got pulled up, came back, and he said, oh, you've got 12.3300. And I still didn't twig, and I said, well, you've got $12,300. And I still didn't twig. And I said, well, what does that mean? And I repeated, really quite grumpy, he said, $3,300. And I said, you're joking. For a chicken sandwich.

So this is the fine for you trying to Carry a chicken sandwich into Australia I was trying to smuggle it Smuggle a sandwich in It's been six months And I've written I've tried to appeal No

You can't appeal And had I Not paid it in the 28 days, then I was local to a summons. If I took them to court, I had to put something like $26,000 up front. And if you lost, you lost that. Yeah, if you're having to front up $26,000 over a chicken sandwich, I think you're probably, that's the moment when you're like, hey, this has got out of hand, right?

Well, my husband said, look, let it go. I would have probably, that's the moment where you're like, hey, this has got out of hand, right? Well, my husband said, look, let it go. Well, a bit like a dog with a bone, I suppose. Or a June with a chicken sandwich, so to speak. Yeah. Never will eat a chicken sandwich again. Did they give it back to you

to eat at least? You're like, well, it's cost me three and a half grand almost. No, they didn't. Now, June, now someone has paid the fine for you, a stranger. They have. Who was it? They have. No, I'm not allowed to tell. Yeah, a very kind gentleman. The thought to do this is amazing. I mean, that $3,300, that becomes $3,704

I think or something New Zealand money now that's nine weeks of my pension over nine weeks of my pension and he's just paid this for you yes and he doesn't want his name known no

well can you just go around telling everyone I was the one who I'll take the credit if he doesn't want it. Yeah, actually, my son said the same. Yeah. Hey, June, listen, lovely talking with you. What a great story. Great ending, anyway.

And you go and look after yourself in Christchurch. And good luck for bowls today. Thank you very much indeed, and I hope the weather over there is good. No worries, June. Thank you. I think she must believe we're in Australia but we'll take that. It's a sunnier country. Hey 0800 HITS though, has a

stranger paid for it? Like June, has a stranger helped you out? Footed the bill for something? The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. We are talking about when a stranger has paid for you. After June a lovely pensioner from Christchurch was stuck with a $3,300 fine from Australian

Border Security for a chicken sandwich. When you reference someone as a pensioner, you do feel like you need to put the word lovely before it, don't you? Yeah. You don't want to say a horrible pensioner. A lovely pensioner just sounds so much more adorable. She was lovely. And she was adorable. Yeah. And you tried to pay for someone's, was it supermarket shopping?

It's always been a dream to have someone pay for me, but we were at like a little kid's venue. I think it was a trampoline park or something, and a guy was literally $2 short, and they were only taking cash. So I had a $2 coin. I was like, I'm going to come in here. I'm going to be the absolute good sort that I am. And I was like, I was like... $2 is a

great denomination as well. You're like, I can hand over $2 here. I felt, before I did it, I felt so awesome. I plonked it down, clicked it on the counter, slid it over to him, and I was like, I got you. It's okay. Just, it's yours.

And he turns around and he was like, no, it's okay Did he have money himself? No they turned around And left They left I was like I've got you covered

You don't have to pay me back I don't know you Here's two dollars And you feel like A million dollars doing that Yeah but he denied me I was like I don't know what I did wrong

In this scenario That is brilliant. I tried to do the same across the road here at the cafe. Yeah. A lady was struggling to pay for her coffee. I was like, don't worry, I've got it. And I was trying to tap and go. She was swatting my hand away.

She was like, I don't want you to pay. And I was trying to over route. And I was like, someone film this, film this. Funny enough, you've never done that with me. You've never been like, don't worry, I've got this. I'll pay. Yeah. Well, it probably won't happen today either, to be honest.

Martin, you're on from Whangarei. Welcome. Hiya, mate. Good to have you on. Yeah. I was up at Countdown Tiki Whanga last week and did a little more shopping on a budget. And it came to about $69 and something cents and I knew I had

$70 in there and I got my Airpods card out and was about to put it into the machine and a guy reached across in front of me and swapped his card, put in his phone number, and paid for the whole lot. What? And then walked off. A hero. And walked off.

There was no conversation to be had? No, nothing. Isn't that lovely? And paid for the whole lot and walked off. I don't know who he was. I'd never met him before. I'd never seen him before. Wow.

And, yeah. Martin, that's beautiful. He was ANZ. And I'm ASB, and I had the receipt to show my neighbour. That's it. That's it my neighbour. That's it. That's it, Martin. That is brilliant. If that was your eye,

we definitely would have lingered to bathe in the glory. Yes, absolutely. Did everyone see that? We're radio hosts. That's what we live for. Great text here. My 10-year-old daughter couldn't afford chocolate bars at Pack and Save and the shop assistant paid for them for her. Oh.

Isn't that wonderful? Another one here, we couldn't pay for our hotel. Nice gentleman behind us. Foot the bill for them for her. Oh. Isn't that another one here? We couldn't pay for our hotel. Nice gentleman behind us. Foot the bill for the entire hotel. This has just never happened to me. I'd lost faith. I'd lost faith in humanity when I turned up here looking at you this morning, Megan. Now it has been restored.

It is beautiful paying it forward. You should definitely do that today. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. paying it forward. Should definitely do that today. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. Yesterday we talked about a new show on Netflix called Obsession. That's right.

And you're Jay's new girlfriend. I think he's worried about introducing us. Should he be? Some very deep meditative breathing going on in the background there. Deep breathing. This is... Give the person a Ventolin or something.

This is described as an erotic thriller. It's a four-part show on Netflix, but it's where the dad has an affair with his son's fiancée. Yeah. Very saucy. Now, we mentioned yesterday, surely this hasn't happened in New Zealand, but hoping deep down that it had happened in New Zealand

that we could talk to people. We couldn't get hold of anyone who had text through yesterday, but producer Joel stood up over the last 24 hours, put his producing hat on, and he's tracked down slash bullied these people to come onto the radio. Thank you, Joel. No worries. It's a pleasure to Thank you, Joel. No worries.

It's a pleasure to do it for you. No worries. Pleasure to bully people onto the radio for you. That's your job. It's some jaw-dropping calls. We're going to start with, do we give fake names or real names? What are we doing? We can do, I reckon, fake name.

Yeah. Is this a fake name? It's not. So make up a name on the spot. So shall I come up with a name, but then she's not going to know it's a fake name. Let's call her Letitia. Welcome. Hey, you're going to be known as Letitia now, okay?

Okay. Yep. You happy with Letitia? I'm sorry? Oh, yeah, okay. Now, your phone's a little shaky, too. Now, Joel, this is where the producing wheels are falling off. Okay?

I just praised you. Now, Letitia, what happened? Did your parents ran off with your partner? No. So my mum's brother was married to this lady for, I think it was like 10 years or so. And then he ran off. Oh, we're losing it.

Okay, so just to recap, you've got your mum's brother. He's married for 10 years or so. And if you can pick it up, hopefully with Crystal Clear 5G. Crystal Clear 5G is a real character, I don't think so. Yeah. So we've got, yeah. So, yeah, so he then went off with his wife's mother and has been in a relationship.

Oh, my God. His wife's... Grandmother of in a relationship. Oh my god. His wife's grandmother of his children. You should say wife's mother. Yes. The cell phone coverage is really keeping us on tenderhooks here. So he's married to a lady for 10 years. He's like

I like your mother. I'm going to go and date her. And he's also got kids with the daughter. So he's also got kids with the daughter. So he's dating his kid's grandmother. Wow. Letitia is also stunned, even though she lived it. Yeah. Yeah.

It's quite awkward when you... I don't know. I imagine... I don't know. Is it as awkward as the cell phone coverage? I don't know. Letit don't know Is it as awkward As the cell phone coverage I don't know But Leticia are they still together

So, 800 of the hits. If you've got a cell phone that works, that'd be great. We'd love to hear the juicy bits of your story. Yeah. Have you lived in a family with a situation where the parents run off with their kid's partner? That is wild.

Loaded texts coming through, more texts coming through, involving a dad patting a bottom at a family function the hits the Jono and Ben podcast very juicy yeah

I don't know if that's frowned upon by society or I think generally yeah morally wrong is one of those things

where initially weird awkward but as time passes on things become less weird and awkward do they I don't know I feel like it would break up a family I feel like Christmas weird, awkward, but as time passes on, things become less weird and awkward. Do they?

I don't know. I feel like it would break up a family. I feel like Christmas would never be the same. Especially because you're like, jeez, there's 7.8 billion people in the world. There's options out there. And you had to focus in on this one. But yeah, we're talking about if your parents run off with your partner. And Ethan, you're on. This happened to you.

G'day, how's it going? Yeah, good, thank you, mate. So what was it, your dad ran off with your partner? Yeah, so it was a bit of a young one. We had a few drinks around at the parents' house, as you do, in your late teens, early 20s. And, yeah, we got a bit sassy, and he jokingly, like, smacked her on the arse, just as a joke.

But I didn't think much of it until about three weeks later, four weeks later, a month or so. I went to check my Snapchat on his phone and logged out of hers and saw her bitmoji pop up. And then, yeah, I was like, oh, yeah, well, that's a bit weird. So I had a wee look and that actually had like a 30 day streak going and stuff. So I was like, oh, what's happened here? Asked her about it, kind of ditched that one. And, yeah, didn't really speak to Dad for it,

but, yeah, just had to end that one because that was just a bit weird. So have you discussed it with your dad? No, I didn't bring it up with my dad. You didn't bring it up? No. Oh, my, how do you... It feels like a conversation that needs to take place.

Yeah, maybe. It's just, I don't know. Do you know if they still have any contact? No, I've locked her on Snapchat when I went on it. Oh, how did it make you feel? Oh, I don't know. Game's the game, I guess. I feel like Ethan's repressing some emotions there.

This is a lot, Ethan. This is classic material here from... Kiwi lad. Yeah, Kiwi. What did you say? The game's the game. Yeah, on to the next. The game's the game.

I mean, I guess that's an attitude. The game's the game. Sometimes your dad's Snapchatting your girlfriend. Your partner, yeah. Has your dad got a partner? On and off, really. I think that was the next one lined up. Okay.

Well, Ethan, hey, listen listen I'm no psychologist or therapist but maybe a conversation could be had get that off your chest thanks for sharing Ethan you don't want that bubbling up and boiling over at some point in life Steph we're going to get you on welcome your parent ran off with your partner Steph

oh hi sorry I honestly feel like Spark off with your partner. Steph? Oh, hi. Sorry. Good to have you. I honestly feel like Spark or One New Zealand or something are just pranking us this morning. The phone lines are shit this morning. They're shocking. They're shocking. Tell you what, the swearing quota is up.

The phone lines are down. It's all good. It's a journey. It's a journey, this one. Your mum hooked up with someone you were dating. Yeah. So it's, yeah, not like an affair or anything. More of a funny story, really.

Okay. So I've seen this guy and then I stopped it with him. Nothing that wasn't really going anywhere. And then I was getting married to my now husband and my bridesmaids had liaised with my husband to get a stripper for me. And the stripper happened to be the ex-squeeze that I was seeing. And so that was weird enough in itself

when he took his mask off and I realised it was him. And then a little bit later on in the night, we all turned around and there's my mum and him sucking face in the kitchen. Sucking face with the stripper at the hems do. So she obviously didn't know him as your ex? No, I think she knew. There was lots of talk about it because we were all like, oh my God, what the hell is he even doing here? This is all a lot.

Had she had a couple of tequilas or something? I would say, absolutely, a few gins. Well, this is what happens when, you know, this is the collateral when you date Magic Mike. People want him. People want him. Hey, Steph, did you have a conversation with your mum? Yeah.

Oh, yeah. It was fine. She had, like, not long split up with my dad, so it was like, go girl, you go and you go have my sloppy seconds. Oh Steph, thank you for your call, mate. You're going to have a great day. See you guys. We had a Zoom meeting the other day, and you're in your lounge, and I noticed something in the background, and I had to check the date, and it was about the 20th of November. So I wasn't out of the question, but I was like,

oh, there is a fully decorated Christmas tree in the background there, meticulously decorated. Thank you. And I was like, we've got a Christmas nerd on our hands. It's what I was thinking to myself internally. I don't want to bring it up to the wider group in the meeting. But you are? Absolute Christmas fanatic.

And what I didn't tell you was that every year we put the Christmas tree up on the 1st of November. We will probably take it down the end of January. So what is that? Three months. Three months. It's a quarter of the year we have a Christmas tree up in our house. Oh my gosh. Is Andrew your partner?

Is he into it as much as you are? Thankfully, yes. So there's no pushback on getting the tree up. So is this like a childhood thing? Has this gone back to you? I actually think this is childhood trauma. It is? Because my parents, my mother especially, she was terrible at wrapping presents.

So she'd just use any old thing that she could find, old bags, and you could see the present. It would be haphazardly wrapped. There'd be holes in it. You'd be like, I can see what's under the tree, Mum. Or like a paper bag from the supermarket sort of thing. So you're like, this will never be my future. And the tree, you know, like fake trees,

you're supposed to extend the arms out and push it down. It would always be not properly extended. So a skinny little tree and somehow always on a slant and with Christmas decorations that I made when I was like five. So holy nasty. And I was like, this is not going to be my future. Yeah, and so do you turn your house into a grotto? No, but we've always intended to.

I'm going to do the Christmas lights. I'm going to do the whole shebang when I'm older. Yeah, I'm probably the opposite. See, my mum Annie was froth Christmas. You and Annie would get along. You would definitely have a house that you'd look like Santa would come there and have an affair. Sometimes I'm like, was Santa my real dad?

Maybe. The obsession. Santa and Annie. They're in Christchurch now, but every time she comes to stay, she's ferrying up boxes of decorations. To decorate your house. She's like, these are what I'm going to leave you with. I'm like, Mum.

Does she do the external lights? No, no No she doesn't But all internal stuff Yeah Yeah we keep it hidden From the public Public view But you come inside

The shame is fully revealed That'll be me one day I do themed wrapping too So all of the presents Are exactly the same What same coloured paper? Same coloured paper And I change the theme

Every year I've got wax seals And the whole shebang Oh Jesus Did you sign your contract Already theme every year. I've got wax seals and the whole shebang. Oh Jesus. Did you sign your contract already for next year? I have. Okay. No, it's all good. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. I'm nervous what you're going to get out of me.

Yeah, I've been talking to you about this about 10 minutes ago. I said I bought something off you know, online when you get feed ads and you click on the ad and you show a mild bit of interest in the product. Yeah. And then the algorithms like, okay, we've got a fish on the hook here.

We've got a little nibble. And then they reel you in and keep feeding you ads. Let me bombard you with this one thing you showed an interest in. And I was like, I was like kind of interested in them. Yeah. And I was like,

the more they came through, I was like, no, no, no. And then I was, oh, maybe. Then no again. was like The more they came through I was like no no no And then I was like oh maybe Then no again What was the thing that clinched it for you? What turned the no into a yes? It just catches you at a weak moment You know

Weak moment is probably three Heineken's deep Okay And so I got some new sunglasses Okay Why do you have that look on your face? Because I don't know They turned up.

And Jen, my wife, she didn't know I'd ordered them. And she opened the package and she sent me a photo with them on. Just saying, what are those? Now, I'm going to try these on. Okay, and I want your honest, producer Joel, I want your honest reaction as well. Okay? Oh, Jono. Hot.

What do you think? What do you think? What do you think? Have you still got the label on it? Yeah, because I haven't. I'm like, do I send them back? Oh, okay. They're kind of like if you imagine a triathlete in 1997. Yeah.

All black, very sporty, very fast glasses, very racy glasses. I feel 10 kilometres faster already. It does look like you should have Lycra on and some clippy-cloppy shoes. Fast glasses, very racy glasses. I feel 10 kilometres faster already. It does look like you should have Lycra on and some clippy-cloppy shoes. Now, Producer Joel, I'd imagine you would wear these ironically to Northern Base or something over New Year's. I like them. How much did you pay for them? They were $45.

No. Yeah. I think you should return them then, maybe. I feel like Producer Joel could get away with them at a festy. I feel like you, as slightly older. I'm a millennial. 1981, millennial baby. Vintage millennial.

I'm being kind. I feel like you're. I'm definitely the millennial where the rest of the millennials are like, he is not one of us. Have you had your children's feedback on this? Yeah, laughter. I feel like you should take that on board. Pure laughter.

To be honest, you're playing the tennis match today, and I feel like they're sports sunglasses, and maybe you can rock them at ASB Classic this afternoon. I will wear them. Okay, there we go. They've made some use. Definitely you've got to be doing some form of activity with them on, don't you?

We'll put a photo on Instagram. You can be the judge. Be honest. The internet's always very kind, I hear. That's what they tell me. We'll put that on the Hits Breakfast Instagram. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Last week I was off work, but not for myself.

Oh, was it, what was it? Was it kid related? Child related. Yeah. Why did you have to call 111? So last week I got the call from daycare. You know when you get a call and they're like, you have to come pick up your child.

And you're like, do I? Yeah. Like, what are we talking about? We've got a fever. Like, what's happened? Could you ride it out, put them in a cupboard or something, hide them away from the other kids? She has very, this is my one-year-old daughter, Aya.

She has lovely teachers at her daycare who called me. And the reason it alarmed me was they said she doesn't seem herself and were a little bit worried about her, which also was quite vague. So I went and picked her up and she was okay for a bit. I was at home by myself with her and she started shivering. And so she was just wearing a little onesie I put some pants on her and her lips started going blue and she was still shivering so I was like she's obviously really cold so I put a jersey on her and gave her a wee cuddle and I was like you're all right buddy uh at this point I'm like I might take her to see a doctor and get her

checked up in the space of that would have been maybe five minutes of me preparing myself to get her into the car, she had gone from blue lips and shivering to burning hot and blue all over. And we're talking quite a dark blue. Smooth blue. Hands, yeah. Hands, face, arms, blue all over,

which is every parent's worst nightmare James Cameron's dream though on Avatar Very little makeup to be applied Parent's nightmare though And so at this point I realised I probably don't have time to get her in the car and I didn't

fancy putting her in the back seat and leaving her and driving somewhere and she starts looking all lethargic and starts passing out on me. Oh, dear God. And an antenatal class to teach you how to do CPR, which I had not had a refresher on. And that was flashing in the back of my mind. When you're doing those, you're like, I am never going to forget this.

And then. Yeah. Also, I hope I never have to use this. Yeah. Which in that moment, I was like, oh, my God, I'm going to have to use this Which in that moment I was like oh my god I'm going to have to give my one year old daughter CPR

So I called 111 knowing that I didn't have time To get to the doctor And I was like every Parent in a movie Flabbergasted trying to get the information out The ambulance was on its way But I was just trying to Keep her awake uh and

and with me and the ambulance took i think it was about 10 minutes but every minute every second felt like a minute i bet it felt like the longest time my life and i've never been sirens in the eventually i was yeah i've never been so relieved when I heard the sirens come. Two amazing paramedics. One was Mia, and I can't remember the other girl's name, but they were amazing. Let's call her Stacey. Mia and Stacey came, and I will never forget the image of my one-year-old blue on the floor of my lounge with paramedics working on her. You'll be pleased to know she's fine. She's fine.

She had a fever. What did they have to do to her? So they had to give her oxygen. They drew up a massive EpiPens needle of adrenaline in case she was having an anaphylactic shock. It's a huge needle. And in her tiny body, I was just like, I don't know where you're going to put that.

Jeez. They're talking you through all these different scenarios. It was a blur. And it was only their calmness that stopped me from absolutely losing the plot. Those people are heroes, aren't they? Yeah. Do you pay for that? I think so.

I haven't got the invoice yet. Do you know? Are you guys getting an invoice? After all of that, me and my husband literally went through the ringer that day. She came home that night. She's honestly fine. It's a virus, whatever. And my husband said went through the ringer that day. She came home that night. She's honestly fine. It was a virus, whatever. And my husband said, when we got home, how much is that ambulance?

Ambulance? I don't know. They don't sound cheap. All that on-the-fly medical experience. Expertise. Yeah. I don't know if you're getting that discount or what. You could have at least waited a day to ask that question.

Also, no money. It's priceless. It is priceless, but it comes at a cost. You've got to pay for stuff. Also, no money. It's priceless. It is priceless, but it comes at a cost. You know, you've got to pay for stuff. Oh, that's good. I'm glad she's okay. Yeah.

Oh, man, that's freaky. Every parent's worst nightmare. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Lovely to have you back for day two. I don't think you had any choice in the matter, Megan, but you're here anyway. No, I don't think you did either,

so we'll just, yep, it's an arranged marriage. It's funny, radio shows are like that, aren't they? Yeah. It is kind of weird. Yeah. It works for the most part, doesn't it? Then it falls apart sometimes.

It doesn't. I think you might have fallen victim to that in the past. Yeah. Yeah, but hey, we're back. We're back in breakfast. We're back, baby. We're back. Don't dwell on the past.

You know, you know. Have you heard of a nothing shower? Well, I'm not using any water. No, no, there's water involved. A nothing shower? This is something, it's a Gen Z trend. And I get quite excited when I see something that Gen Z. Do you still relate to the generation below you?

No. You're millennial. I'm an elder millennial. Yeah, I'm a millennial, mate. Yeah. Are you? No. You're millennial. I'm an elder millennial. Yeah. I'm a millennial, mate. Yeah. I am. Are you? Yes.

81, just scraped in. Oh, you're a geriatric millennial. Yeah, they're looking at me and they're like, you're definitely not part of the team, but okay, whatever. I never thought I'd be the person that's like, man, I don't understand the younger generation, but I'm getting there. Yeah.

Do you do a nothing shower, Producer Joel? Is that when you go for a week without having a shower? Do you do that? No. I wouldn't be surprised. Look at him. He hasn't showered since bloody March. No, you look great.

Thank you, Megan. Is that just deodorant? It does involve getting in the shower, but I was quite excited because I do this as well. A nothing shower is when you get in the shower, but I was quite excited because I do this as well. And nothing showers. When you get in the shower, you just stand there and let the shower drain over you. It's kind of like a meditation situation. You don't necessarily wash.

You don't wash your hair. Oh, so you don't soap yourself? No. You're just standing there. This is something that Gen Zers are doing. You're having nothing showers. It's like meditative. You know things are bleak when you're sitting down in the shower?

Have you ever sat down in the shower? Like two days ago. This is a low point. And then there's no nice way to get back up either. You don't want anyone walking in on you sitting down in the shower. Sometimes I shave my legs sitting down in the shower. I was like, I feel like that's just old because bending over is too much. You're like, dear God, I could just sit here for the rest of my life, actually.

Mainly because my hips won't allow me to get up.
