The Hits with the Jono and Ben podcast. Cheers to Dilma, making the world a better tea. There's a trend on TikTok at the moment that producer Tali were actually telling us about and I've just been reading up about it. It's everywhere at the moment. Girl dinners. Yes, so it's taken off. So pretty much what a girl dinner is, is a dinner that you'd have in your own privacy

that no one can judge you for. You'd never make it for your husband or boyfriend or partner because it just doesn't make sense, but you enjoy it and you like it. It's probably just like a quick sort of grazing stuff by the look of it. Like, you know, it's like we've got cheese and crackers at home, that's my girl dinner or whatever it is, you know? Yeah, so I've seen people have like popcorn with a side of cottage cheese and a bit of dark chocolate.

Doesn't look great, but it makes sense. The first things you've seen, you grab. Putting together, it's kind of cheap stuff you've got at home. It's kind of like, hey, don't judge me, but this is my girl dinner. For instance, my husband's gone away now to the Gold Coast, so last night, as if I'm

cooking a three-course meal, I literally opened a can of tuna and melted it. It's 1950, it makes it look like it's 1950. I'm glad you are cooking a three-course meal. I literally opened a can of tuna and melted. It's all 1950. It makes it sound like it's 1950. I'm glad you are cooking a three-course meal, actually. So I opened up a tin of tuna, put it in the microwave, and melted mozzarella on top. Oh, great. If I gave that to him, plate smashed, mate.

He's like, where's my three-course meal? Three courses. I love how you go, you put it online, don't judge me. But that's exactly what you're putting it online for. You're going to get judgment. Did you put that online? Did you put that on TikTok? No, no, no.

I'm not very, I'm not a TikToker. What is the most basic thing you think you've eaten? Oh, probably plain pasta with butter. As a dinner? Yeah. Plain pasta with butter? Like boil the water, put the pasta in, let that cook, and then literally just get butter and just put it over.

It's really good. I've eaten three quarters of a loaf of white bread, just butter and white bread. Sounds like you. Yeah, it sounds like a boy dinner. It's probably the most plain dinner I've ever had. Producer Grace is with us at the moment. You were saying you're cheese and crackers?

That's your kind of go-to? Cheese and crackers, strawberries, and dark chocolate. Oh. Yum. Sounds quite gourmet for a dinner as well. And that would be potentially and crackers, strawberries and dark chocolate. Oh. Yeah. That's quite gourmet for a dinner as well. And that would be potentially dinner?

Oh, 100% dinner. Okay. Girl dinners, eh? Guys can have dinners too, so just so you know. It's kind of, it's almost similar to dad meal sometimes

a little bit. Yeah, that's kind of a crossover. You used to give me grief because I, for the kids when I had to cook dinner and I'd just microwave Kransky sausages.

Not even like frying them or anything, putting them in a pan. 30 seconds, boom. Were they like boiled? Well, the kids, their pellets, they're not judgmental. When you get to your age, when you get to Marcelo, he wants a three-course meal. I'm not giving him bloody microwave Kranskys. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Jono and Ben's Cake-a-thon. I'm not giving him bloody microwave cranksheets.

We're on a mission. 106 of the legendary cakes from the birthday cake book from yesteryear. I'm just trying to remember, when was this book initially? It was 1980, I think. 1980 it first came out. I think I saw the other day. Old school book. I tell you what, just looking through some of the cakes at the moment,

there's a wonderful cake. It's a cot and they've put like a baby in it. You know, like a toy baby. The baby even looks uncertain as to why it's in a cake cot. Yeah,

putting a baby in a cot. Okay, anyway. So a lot of it, so we didn't factor in the amount of accessories required, especially with, you know,

the African hinterlands, a lot of animals that sit on top of that. There's a farmyard. There's weird sort of – there's cowboys taking on other people in teepees, which I don't know. We're not going to do that. Well, we're going to do the cake, but we just might cancel.

Cancel a few cakes out of the book as well, yeah. Or at least modify them, you know, bring them up to date. Some of you can't even remember the typewriter. I don't even remember a typewriter being a telephone. I guess maybe I flicked through some of those, but no, no, no, thank you. I've got a huge surprise for you though, Ben. I know actually two of your most hated things are being surprised. Yeah.

Not big on surprises. You're not big on cake, ironically. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not the world's most, you know, like, I appreciate a cake. I don't know if anyone does, but I'm not, yeah, I'm not a big cake fan. You like to be planned. You like to be organised. Yeah, I do.

And if you had an option, you'd take a celery stick over a piece of cake. Yeah. Well, this is going to be a double kick in the guts because tonight, what are you doing? Oh, I've got some stuff with the family. Cancel the family. Cancel the family like you're cancelling the TPs from that cake. Because you are going to bake a cake tonight. Oh, I'm baking a cake, but I'm baking cakes next week.

From the book. Well, we need to get some practice in, don't we? Is this why in front of me there's a whole lot of cake mixture and icing sugar? A Barbie doll, I'm guessing? Is it the Barbie cake? The Barbie cake. The iconic Barbie. Oh, yeah, it's topical.

It's in the zeitgeist at the moment. We've got a trouserless Barbie. You've got pants on. I guess you'll be in the cake, though, right? Yeah. You don't want to wear trousers when you're jammed inside a cake. So tonight, you get match fit ahead of next week's challenge. It's like dusting off the old

mitts, the old oven mitts. I just kind of wanted to come in cold but okay, alright. Well I guess it gives us an indication of how long it's going to take to do one cake. Yeah, do they give you timings in the recipes? I'm not sure. That'd be handy because they do have categories of three easy cakes

probably for the people who have given up on baking cakes. No, there's no time associated with it, which is a good thing, because then you're just stressed out that you're not keeping to time under the allocated time. So tonight you can try. Okay, thank you for that. We've got marshmallows.

We've got the vanilla cake mix. We've got the icing. It's all there, the ribbon. Have you got a thing which dispenses the design of the dress? My daughter Indy's quite, she's really into baking. So yes, I think, yeah, like I might, you know. No, no, no. I want to send her father to order a thing, you know.

I'll be there. I'll see it from start to finish. I want a word, a vouch. You will not just hand this over to Indy. No, I promise I won't. I'll be part of the process. Yeah. What does that mean?

It means that she's probably much more. I'll probably end up doing the things for her on it. She'll be like, mix that, do that. Being part of the process doesn't mean just recording her with your phone. No, I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll see it through. All right?

Okay. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. We've got producer Taylor in for a game of news or not. This requires a lot of brain energy. Too early in the morning, this game. Now, Taylor, you read out three headlines. game of news or not. This requires a lot of brain energy. Too early in the morning this game. Now, Taylor, you read out three headlines. All of them sitting in the same ballpark of obscure quirkiness.

And, oh, 800, that's a telephone number. You've got to try and figure out which one is fictitious. As we try and figure out as well. It's quite tough. All right, let's go to the first headline. All right. Experts warn sucking in your stomach leads to a weakened pelvic floor. Well, surely that would strengthen your pelvic floor.

You've got a pelvic floor. You've got a pelvic floor, Tori. Yeah, don't you? Everyone's got a pelvic floor. Yeah. Also, I'm sorry I zeroed out your pelvic floor. You're zeroing it on Tyler. All right, let's get the other headlines in there. We can delve a bit deeper.

But if you think you know it, I'll 100 the hats. Number two. Zoo accused of dressing human in bear suit now under fire for suspicious human-like lions. Oh! We know about the bear thing. Mate, listen to the show. No, you're right. A little bit of an add-on to the story.

You also got lions. Okay. Okay. All right, number three, man blamed for releasing deadly curse into the world after digging up time capsule in his own garden. Oh, so he wasn't meant to dig it up. Yeah. He didn't know that, though.

No. And you can't. He's just like, what's this? Yeah. It's not his bad. Now, I'm going to just dot back to the zoo story. Okay. And where the question mark lay for me for this headline is,

all we do is we read the first paragraph of stories. We don't delve any deeper. This might have been a few paragraphs down, Ben. Oh, that they've had this thing in the past where they've dressed people as lions. Dressed up as a lion. Yeah. So that could potentially have some truth to it. A lot of phones coming through.

When I say a lot of phones, two. And that's a lot for this time of the morning. We're going to get Rebecca on. Welcome, Rebecca, to New Zealand's Breakfast. How are you? Good, thank you. What are you doing? Where are you heading?

I'm heading to work. Oh, yeah. Off to the ball and chain. Right. You've heard the headlines. We've got... Do you want all three of them again? Yeah, sorry.

Okay. So, number one, experts warn sucking in your stomach leads to a weakened pelvic floor. Number two, zoo accused of dressing human in bear suit now under fire for suspicious human-like lions. And number three,

man blamed for releasing deadly curse into the world after digging up time capsule in his own garden. What do you reckon, Rebecca? What do you reckon is the fake news story out of those three? I'd go the first one. The pelvic floor

sucking in your pelvic floor leads to a weakened sucking in your stomach leads to a weakened pelvic floor? So that's actually true, that story. Oh, okay. I'm sorry. Sorry, Rebecca. What was the false one? The zoo. Yeah, come on, guys. Yeah, Rebecca. Never mind. Hey, that's alright, man. Sometimes in life we Yeah, come on guys. Yeah, Rebecca.

Never mind. Hey, that's alright man. Sometimes in life we win, sometimes we lose and sometimes you just have to go to work on a Thursday. Or get a draw like the Silver Ferns. Yeah, sometimes you draw. Hey Rebecca, really appreciate you listening. Go and have a wonderful day. You too. Thank you. The Hits, the Jono and Ben

podcast. Now Ben, I've been keeping you up to date over the last two or three weeks with an ongoing oral related issue I've been battling with The ulcer, not the ulcer from Ulcerinana from Frozen that I enjoy No, much uglier ulcer sitting under my tongue

Now I know it's early in the morning I don't want to get into too much graphic detail Don't, don't But I've had a lot of stuff in my mouth over the years. Especially when you look at your experimental preschool years. Oh yeah. The things you put, you know, dirt, compost, any, the Play-Doh, you're putting it all in there.

But this, what happened yesterday inside my mouth involving the ulcer, it was a low. Oh really? It was a low point. And I'll just stop there. Okay. But it was at a point where I'm like Well I need to really Go and see a medical

Professional about this Clearly things aren't Going well Yeah It's been sort of Hanging around for a while It has yeah The doctor was like

Studious tiredness You're overworked You're stressed I'm like am I All I do is talk For a living But anyway Went to the doctor

And I was like hey I want to give you A disclaimer What you're about to see might be the most disgusting thing you've witnessed in your professional career. And the good thing about doctors, and there's only a handful of industries where this takes place,

is the doctor's like, trust me, I've seen it all. They would have seen it all. Distinguished career, 20, 30 years. You would imagine that doctor, everything that a human being could have seen all distinguished career, 20, 30 years. You would imagine that doctor, everything that a human being could have seen on another human being, they have seen.

And the confidentiality thing, which is so impressive. And it's awesome that you can trust them to do it. Because, you know, imagine if you were the doctor. It would be a nightmare. You'd never guess what old Ben came in for. Oh, yeah, that guy. Yeah, I know. Google him.

The guy from that. Yeah, that guy. Tell you what. I don him. The guy from that. Yeah, that guy. Tell you what. I don't know what he's been up to. He's been hanging out with the incurable. Yeah. But I don't know. Does the patient doctor, the doctor-patient confidentiality clause,

does that stretch to the patient? I don't know. Can the patient bear all? Because I'm really sharing a lot about the appointment. Anyway, doctor's like, don't worry, I've seen it all. Lifted my tongue. And the doctor went, ooh. The doctor even went, ooh. Ooh. So don't worry, I've seen it all. Lifted my tongue and the doctor went, ooh.

The doctor even went, ooh. So I was like, I've seen that before. Trying to boast that maybe it's something I hadn't seen. I had seen it before. But I walked away

from that going, the exact same thing. We put a lot of faith in doctors, don't we? You do. You imagine another profession

where they probably have seen it all, police. The police would have seen it all. Yeah. Do you know what? I mean, doctors do a wonderful job,

wonderful job, but one thing that does sort of irk me is, you know, sometimes you go there and they'll go, oh, there's nothing I can do. Just rest. You're like,

I don't want that answer. I don't want that answer. You know, it's like, just rest. It's a thing. We can't, you know,

I want something that'll quick fix later. Although then, a friend of mine said the same thing. I won't go to the doctor. I've been sick for a couple of weeks because they'll just tell me I need to rest and I'm trying to rest and I can't fight this thing off. And then the doctor said, why didn't you come and see me sooner? I was like, well, because every other time I come in, you're like, well, just, you know.

Just rest. Yeah. I went to a doctor once. The doctor started Googling. I was like, mate, I could have done that at home on the Wi-Fi. I've been doing it. Found out I had cancer in 10 different ways. The Hits with the Jono and Ben podcast.

Thanks to Challenge. Putting the service back into service stations. Hey, kids. Kids work to their own schedule, don't they? As they get older, they start to figure things out. But I had one of my daughters come to me last night. Nine o'clock. So you're just, you know, you're like bedtime,

it's time, you know, like it's time really should we get bed. And it's like, hey, they start thinking about the next day, that stage. And they're like, we've got swimming. I've got swimming tomorrow. First thing I'm like, swimming at this time of year? Outdoor, indoor?

We're going to an indoor, you know, indoor facility for swimming. I'm like, okay, well, that's a bit better. And then it was like, I just had a look at my swimming togs, too small. I'm like, at nine o'clock at night. What do you want me to do? What can I do in this situation?

They're trying to find ones, trying to stretch and go, oh, these ones will be okay, they're stretching. It's just like, well, hey. There's no concept of forward planning, is there? No. If you told me two or three hours earlier, I mean, tough to get swimming togs in summertime, but I could have tried to go to the warehouse,

Rebel Sport, whatever. You know? Sometimes you're walking out the door and they're like, oh, I forgot to tell you I got bloody ice hockey today. You're like, what? Yeah, you know, I'm playing the goalie. Need pads and everything. I got one at the school gates for that. Oh, by the way, when I walked my kid to school, you know,

by the way, we've got cross country today and I need my thing. You're like, oh, by the way, now? We just walked all the way to school. That was a few years ago. How long have you known about this? Just as you're entering in. You know, it comes back on you because nine times out of the ten, the school sent an email.

Yeah, I know. At some point. And you're like, oh, another schooling. I got one the night a few years back where my daughter's like, I've got to make something for school tomorrow. You're like, oh, okay, what is it? And she's like, well, I've told them I'm making a Hogwarts out of toilet rolls. I'm like, oh, well, hey.

Had you started the project? It was nighttime. This was just the vision for the project. She collected toilet rolls and paper towel rolls. I'm like, oh, well, geez, guess who's going to have to make that? So, yeah, I thought I did a pretty good job of it. How many marks? What did you get out of 10?

I don't know. They'll keep me saying for weeks, how did you go with that hog? Or has the teacher come back and marked it? Because I stayed up really late working on that thing. I had the same idea of putting her to poppy to bed. Do you just want snails? Snails, that's right. Oh, by the way, I've got to bring in six snails.

So I'm traipsing around the bloody garden, you know, 10.30 at night, trying to find six snails. When you don't want snails, they're everywhere. You're standing on them, crushing them. When you're after them, bloody impossible to find. So if kids are listening right now, just have a think about what's on the agenda tomorrow. Just 24 hours.

Yeah, that would be really nice. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Next week, next Thursday, we're going to try and make every single cake from the iconic birthday cake book, 106 Cakes, over two days. And if you want to get a cake, we can be sending them out afterwards. By career, you can register at the hitstockco.nz. Now, we tracked down the hosts of a podcast called The Unfiltered Bride, a wedding planner by the name of Georgie, who hosts the show with Beth.

And we wanted to talk about the craziest cakes and that sort of thing. Yeah. But we're, because we've recorded this, the conversation just took, it blindsided us. So here was our conversation with Georgie. Good morning. Lovely to have you on. Thanks for having me.

How blazing hot is it in the UK at the moment? Well, it's 8 p.m. at night and raining, so typical England. Yeah, right. So not blazing hot is it in the UK at the moment? Well, it's 8pm at night and raining, so typical England. Yeah, right, so not blazing hot. Beautiful English summer. Well, thank you for joining us from the Unfiltered Bride podcast. Now, for those that don't know, what's your background? So I'm a wedding planner and coordinator, and I do loads of tips on Instagram and TikTok

about how to nail your wedding day, basically. What would be your favourite tip? What's a little tip you could pass on if anyone is going to be planning a wedding or is currently planning a wedding? My favourite tip ever is you do you. So you want your guest to leave that wedding and be like, oh my God, that was so them.

So however weird and wonderful it is, if it makes sense to you guys as a couple, I'm all for it. So one of my grooms cut the cake with a chainsaw because he was a tree surgeon. Like, love it. I absolutely love it. That's cool. Yeah, you can find it because everyone... But then there's a nightmare for the cake. Who was eating it? The cake would have been

sliced up all over the room. Oh yeah, yeah. Definitely can't serve the cake later, but worth it for the photos. There is a lot of opinions, you know, to do with a lot of people's weddings sometimes that come out. Not every wedding, but sometimes it feels like a lot of people like to get them involved and they perhaps forget that it's not actually their day.

Yeah, funnily enough, the mother-in-laws come into that quite a lot. Is it not just a stereotype? Mother-in-laws are always getting their nut in, really. No. Sorry, mother-in-laws as in mothers typically of the groom. That's where they all come out of the woodwork suddenly. You haven't heard from them for a couple of years and see them at Christmas and stuff,

and then suddenly you get engaged, and they have every opinion in the world. And if they're giving you a bit of money, it also means that they get to pick everything, apparently. Oh, well, I suppose that if they've had a son and their dream was to have a daughter who had a wedding, they're maybe living vicariously through the event. Yeah, meddling is what we call it over here.

Meddling, yeah. What's been the worst meddle? Well, I quite often have to act as like a defender of meddling to stop because when they suddenly say on the day, actually, can I do a speech? I'm like, no, Barbara, you can't. There's no time for it and they don't want it. Barbara, we're on a tight schedule. Come on, Barbara.

Shush your bush, Barbara. Shush your bush. Here's one I want to chuck your way. You go to the ceremony. We enjoy the nuptials. Then they go off and get photos. Sometimes I've been to weddings where they're not leaving me with beers.

What kind of friends have you got? That's the thing. Oh, right. You're saying while you're waiting. While you're waiting, you're sitting around twiddling your thumbs. Oh, yeah. No, you need something. You need cocktails.

You need entertainment. We need live music. Yeah, I went to a maid's wedding. We gave him grief about it so he won't mind me talking. Hour and a half, we're all just standing around. I need it. They didn't have things to keep you, you know? No canaps or anything, Georgie.

Oh, jeez. Just a simple garden game would have kept you quiet for an hour. Yeah, true. Wouldn't be happening at one of your weddings, would it, Georgie? No, absolutely not. Absolutely. This is where timings come in, though, because if they have arranged too long of a drinks reception

and you all stood there bored, they haven't thought about the timing properly. Need a wedding planner. Sometimes I find the photos do drag, where you're like, surely you've got it. Surely you've got the shot. Yeah. If you haven't got it in the first, like, 40 minutes,

you're probably not going to get them. I know some couples actually get their photos done on other days so they don't have to go away from the wedding. I know people that do a first look. So you go and do, you do a look first and then you do photos pre-ceremony, which also can work nicely. Ah, now.

Top tip. What has been the one shocking moment that you've encountered while wedding planning? Well, I've got to tell you one story because it's my favourite story, but I wasn't actually at this wedding. It would not happen under my watch, but a makeup artist that I work with quite often did a wedding. And she, so the bride was going down to the ceremony

and she stopped off at the toilet, literally just before they said I do. So she stopped off at the toilet before she walked down the aisle. And what she saw when she went in was enough to end the wedding. So I know it's early there, but would you like to try and guess

what she saw the groom doing? Was he canoodling with a bridesmaid? Yeah, sounds like it could be a canoodle. No, worse than that. Oh, really? Worse than a canoodle? The mother-in-law? Not, no.

So no, was it with no canoodling? No canoodling. No canoodling at all. Oh, no canoodling. It was doing something really weird. Okay. What if he's, is he alone? Oh, yeah.

Oh, yes. He's not alone. He's not alone. He's not alone, yeah, because that would have been quite bad. Because I did that on my wedding day and I was like, is that weird? It's a bit weird.

Okay. What could he be doing? He's... Who was in the room with him? I can't tell you that. Shall I tell you? He was being... by his mother.

No! No! No! So. You beeped it out. Yeah. Next. Oh. Hear the story.

It's a classic commercial radio play, Ben. Keep them hooked. You need to stick around for this. This is the type of story you're going to be relaying to your workmates when you get into the office. It's definitely not what we thought. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. I don't know. you're going to be relaying to your workmates when you get into the office. It's definitely not what we thought. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. I don't know.

Do you regret asking the question, what was the wildest thing she's seen or heard of at a wedding? Yes and no, because it does, well, the story is you're about to hear, it's pretty shocking. Yeah. Here was Georgie's response. I've got to tell you one story,

because it's my favourite story, but I wasn't actually at this wedding. It would not happen under my watch but a makeup artist that I work with quite often did a wedding and she, so the bride was going down to the ceremony and she stopped off at the toilet literally just before they said

I do. So she stopped off at the toilet before she walked down the aisle and what she saw when she went in was enough to end the wedding. So I know it's early there, but would you like to try and guess what she saw the groom doing? Was he canoodling with a bridesmaid?

Yeah, sounds like it could be a canoodle. He was being breastfed by his mother. No! No! No! No! No! How old?

No. No! Old enough to not be being breastfed by his mother. What, like someone told him... No, this is not... Surely this isn't true. Yeah. No, honestly.

And the bride was so shocked that they still went ahead with the ceremony. I don't think she kissed him when they said that she could. Oh, so she had no idea that this was... And then she just gnolled it after. No idea that this was a thing. He had a little bit of bloody milky residue in his goatee or something.

Oh, my God. So, did the makeup artist tell the bride? No, the bride saw it. The bride walked into the toilet. Oh, the bride saw it. Oh, my. She was like, oh, oh. Oh, sorry, carry on.

And she still married him. I think she married him out of pure shock. Well, I can imagine you probably, yeah. And then embarrassment. That's probably a hard one to approach. I mean, I would walk in and say, absolutely not. He's just been being best dressed by his mum. This is, well, I wouldn't even have thought that this was even,

people were still doing that past, you know, a couple of, anyway. And like, what was the position he was in? Was he still being cradled or was it a stand up? I don't have this much information, but I like to think that she was sat down on the toilet and he was kneeling down. That's what I like to think, just for the sake of the story. I don't like to think much about this situation.

You hit your own mind there. Yeah, no, you're right. That is truly shocking. Was this in the UK? Yes. That's not what normally happens over here. Yeah, I know. It would definitely be one of those sort of, those pompous mommy.

It wasn't Charles, was it? You can't answer that. That's really That's really flawed us. Well, that's been really nice talking to you, mate. Thank you, I think, for sharing that story.

I know, Ben, you were rocking it till you were 12 or so, weren't you? Yeah, you're right. Are you sure you don't think? Georgie Mitchell, the Unfiltered Bride podcast. Are you going to have a great day, mate? Wild, wild. Jeez, I'm still coming to terms with that. Yeah.

You've got a lot of questions. I do. I do. I'm thinking about it because that was 24 hours ago we spoke to her. It's been sitting with you. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Now, I know you're not a huge fan of things I related. Yeah.

It dates back to my childhood. I actually, you know, most issues you have as an adult, they do spark back to trauma from your childhood, don't they? And I remember as probably six, seven years old, walking into like a palm tree sort of spiky leaf, got into my eye, got stuck. And then the experience of the doctor having to remove that from my eye. It's really sat with me over the years.

I get it. And then I had the other story, Ben, which in adult life, you know this, the contact lens story. Oh, yeah. Where for a sketch, I've said it before, we did a silly sketch on why don't you dress me up

as a bloody Voldemort. Voldemort from Harry Potter. Jeez, you made a good Voldemort. I mean, there wasn't much. Much makeup. Yeah. I mean, you already had the haircut. We're like, oh, jeez,

we're booked a makeup artist. We don't need much. Slip some lippy and foundy on him, he's bloody Voldemort. Maybe we'll change your eyes putting some contact lenses in, make them a bit more scary. And they're like green contact. Anyway, took the poor makeup artist

about 45 minutes to get them into my eyes because it was a nightmare. And then to get them out, after we finished. Swimming around on the floor. Oh, I think you can't make me do this. Hold him down, hold him down. Four people had to hold me down. And then afterwards, they're like, it's just a simple pinch of the eyeball. Pinch. And then remove the contact lens.

I couldn't pinch and remove. So I had to get a poor makeup artist to do it. And he's like, oh, no, no, fossicking around my eyes. And then I hear, uh-oh. I said, what's uh-oh? He's like, it seems to have slipped behind your eyeball. Behind it. And I was like, well, surely now with technology, it dissolves.

It'll just disappear. He's like, no. So he had to get his finger and gorge it between my eyeball and my eye socket and scoop out the contact lens. Like trying to get like a pear out of the insincerator or something. So you're like just trying to get in there as well. So I understand you don't like eyes. But this is actually quite a cool thing to do with eyes.

This is new stuff they're testing in New Zealand that's in America. Eyedrops can be an alternate to reading glasses. Now they've got eyedrop technology that you can put in your eyes and it focuses your eyes. Wow. Oh, so it creates like a contact lens sort of?

Yeah, well, basically it constricts the pupil so you get a better depth and focus and you can read up close better so you could potentially with eyedrops maybe not have to wear glasses. What was that? I saw you on Saturday night and you must have used these eyedrops

and your pupils were like, what's the size of the... Here we go, here we go. Was that an experimental thing? I can't talk about the experiments It's medical It's all medical experience It's all science stuff

Yeah it's simply science stuff It's going on It must be working really well Because you weren't blinking much either
