Starting point is 00:00:00 The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Cheers to Dilma, making the world a better tea. Of course, the weather's meant to take a bit of a turn. A big cold blast is set to hit New Zealand over the next few days, particularly in the South Islands. And of course, there's a big storm, a tropical cyclone, happening in Vanuatu. 300k winds, they reckon.
Starting point is 00:00:21 Jeez, you're saying your stepdad's up there. Yeah, he goes over there to work from time to time to do some building over there and it was like yeah text him last night. He said so far okay but it's sort of I guess literary as the calm before the storm. You know that these category five I think they were saying at some stage
Starting point is 00:00:37 so very scary storms coming their way. Hopefully it's one of those ones that we've built up and it doesn't eventuate. It's meant to kind of slightly miss New Zealand, but we might get the end of it, the tail end of it, towards the later part of the week. Speaking of devastating high-pressure weather systems,
Starting point is 00:00:58 yesterday I was interested. That was a shocking segue. I was trying to tie in some sort of pressure situation. Yesterday I had to parallel park and there were two cars either side, front and back, and there was a pretty tight gap. Not ideal conditions for you. No. Public spokesman. Like, Enrique's the public spokesman for men with less than adequate appendages.
Starting point is 00:01:19 You're the public spokesperson for anxious parallel parkers. Yeah. If I can avoid a parallel park i will yeah you'll even go blocks and blocks away yeah yeah and it annoys your wife amanda yeah it does yeah but i had to go in between two cars and i know you don't like the pressure of pedestrians people sitting in cafes or whatever watching you do your parallel parking no it's not a spectator sport but some people turn it into some but i tell you, the pressure really elevates when you have both drivers of the cars either side of you sitting in their car. Because they're trying to act cool about it, but you know that they're deep down going,
Starting point is 00:01:58 he could easily nudge into my front bumper or my rear bumper, and I could feel eyeballs through the rear vision mirror of the front car, and then the lady behind me was pretending to be on her phone but kept looking up to see, and then that, I thought, you could turn into an Olympic sport. Yeah, that's pressure. That's a high-pressure situation. I know the All Blacks have got some pressure going on,
Starting point is 00:02:19 but nothing like parallel parking with the owners of cars on either side. I find the other one as well, and it'll happen with my wife, is you'll be driving down the road and then she'll go there's a park and you'll have to stop and you reverse into that park while there's traffic behind you and then they're like oh this guy's oh he's got the butt and then they sometimes have to reverse as well and you're like i look i've left it too late to get back into this parallel park i don't i don't like the uh the passenger going there's a part there's it. There's another park, missed it.
Starting point is 00:02:45 My wife and I sometimes, I'll go, well, there you go. I'll get out and go, you drive. That's fine. You do it. And you're like, you know, you're telling me enough stuff how to do it. You do it. And she'll do a much better job than me. But at least I'm calm and she's calm.
Starting point is 00:02:58 So you stop the car and get out. If you've got all these parking spots that I'm missing, away you go. And she does. And she does a far better job than me. But it's just like now, rather than ask Bickering for the next bit, I'll be like, okay, cool, you drive. And she does. And does a fine job of it.
Starting point is 00:03:13 She does a very fine job as well. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Now, last night I took the kids past one of those arcade places, which is a lot of fun. You go along and play some games. Oh, like Time Zone and things like that. Yeah, and you talked about the casino the other day, how quickly the money goes there.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Well, the money goes quickly at one of those time zones, but you have a lot of fun. Except people look happier in a time zone. Yeah, no. No one's got their house on the line. But we were playing one of the games, and there was a couple of ones where you had these plastic sort of guns, and you're pulling the trigger, and you're having to shoot all sorts of whether it's a zombie apocalypse
Starting point is 00:03:47 or all sorts of things you go inside towards you on the screen and you go inside one of those little those little kind of like sheltered from everyone so everyone can't see how bad you are at sort of shooting and all that sort of stuff what's going on that peep show booth there yeah but by the end of the game when it must have gone on for one to two minutes, my finger was getting so sore. Like from just pulling a trigger constantly, you're like, you don't see this in action movies. You had gun finger. You don't see James Bond going, ooh.
Starting point is 00:04:15 Yeah, Bruce Willis, whatever it is, Rambo, whatever, going, ha. You know, I just got sore fingers. You never think of that. And I was just thinking all those times I watched an action movie and for like 30 minutes Bruce Willis is going through a building and he's doing all this sort of stuff. You never think of that. And I was just thinking all those times I watched an action movie and for like 30 minutes Bruce Willis is going through a building and he's doing all this
Starting point is 00:04:28 sort of stuff with a gun. I'm like, man, that must be painful on his finger. Well, I imagine sort of the Dwayne the Rock Johnsons and stuff in the world must be doing some
Starting point is 00:04:35 pretty extensive finger exercises to keep their fingers in peak condition. Oh, believe it. I was like, oh, jeez, get me out of this game.
Starting point is 00:04:41 My finger is starting to hurt. Then you use the right hand, then you use the left hand. It's not quite as good. And then you're like a double-handed effort to try and make it better. I'm like, that's quite tough. You don't think of those things when you're watching action movies. No.
Starting point is 00:04:54 No. I'm sure the action heroes aren't thinking of their fingers too either. The other thing too is the extensive amount of damage they cause. On action movies. Yeah, we went home last night afterwards because there was a couple of games based on movies that the kids hadn't seen and I was showing them bits and pieces. And yeah, that was one of the things
Starting point is 00:05:08 they were saying. There's so much damage in those things. Dwayne Johnson, we read an article about six months ago. $12 trillion. $12 trillion dollars worth of damage he's caused over the course of his movie career.
Starting point is 00:05:19 Like when you watch the movies. Not in real life, but in the movies. And the other thing... Destruction of cars, lives, lives movies like high-rise buildings more often to save one particular person or one thing you know like yeah it's wild the other thing that the kids were saying last night which which i'd noticed as well is how polite often the villains are in those action scenes as well they often will fight one by one even though when they're they're way outnumbered. They wait their turn. It's the unspoken rules of being a baddie, isn't it? You politely wait your turn to get your ass handed to you.
Starting point is 00:05:51 Guys, we could all go on this together. We could all take this one tree of us at the same time. No, no, no, no. You know the rules. We've got an honor system. We're bad in some regard, but when it comes to fighting one by one, you know our policy. Our manners.
Starting point is 00:06:06 We use our manners, don't we? But other times, no. Yeah, it's a roller coaster, that's for sure. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. I took part in a very interesting interaction yesterday in front of my son. And it's a tradition that a lot of adults do where one adult will offer money to pay for something that the other adult has already paid for and the adult receiving the money is like no no no no no i don't want the money and then they are the the gifting adult is forcing the money upon them and it's this
Starting point is 00:06:41 weird dance that we do of it's a kind of a person declining money but probably low-key actually wanting to take the money and the person handing over the money not really wanting to hand over the money but wanting to look like they're handing over the money yeah gotcha and you go no no no back and forth yes oh no take it oh no honestly don't be fine my son's sitting there going i'll take it no one wants this oh and we could put an end to this madness by just drawing a line in the sand and saying if someone is offering to pay for something that you've paid for just go great thanks yeah problem solved yeah you're right i had the same the same doubts i found when you go to someone's house as well i was particularly
Starting point is 00:07:19 leaving my mom's up north and i bought some stuff in the fridge and she was like oh you're gonna take this this is you know no no no you know like i'll leave that here she's like no no take this honestly oh it's just me at the moment i won't no no no you have it you know you don't want to be that person walking out with two beers you know like now leave it someone else will drink it no no honestly they won't and they're like don't be silly and then they're like you know you don't be silly yeah and you're back and forth you're like all right just put it in the bag whatever you want it's the ultimate passing battleag battle of kindness. But then my mum was just very honest and I was like, oh, I'll take that.
Starting point is 00:07:47 Oh, no, don't take that. I'll eat that today for lunch. You're like, oh, okay, well you just tell me what you want to take. I just thought that was actually mine as well. But anyway, that's fine. If you've got one adult insisting to shove something down another adult's throat, then just take it. Take it down
Starting point is 00:08:03 your throat. That's what I'm saying. That was a very odd analogy. But it would save so much back and forth awkward interaction and to kids it makes no sense. You're like this guy's just trying to give you money that you've paid for something. And you're right, the kids on every occasion
Starting point is 00:08:20 would want to take that money. So we're on a mission right now to make Producer Taylor, who's come from Australia, been here for a year, make you into a real Kiwi. You know, home is New Zealand right now, Producer Taylor? Yep, for now, yep. For now, okay, all right, jeez. Maybe we don't want you then.
Starting point is 00:08:38 There were some great suggestions coming through, what you need to do. Basically wander around barefoot everywhere, walk into shops, shopping malls and bare feet. Is that a thing in Australia? Yeah, it is. It's a huge thing. Okay, so you're okay with that?
Starting point is 00:08:51 Yeah, I'd be keen to do that. Okay. So 100, that's 4487. We need some more things to do because last night we issued you a challenge. We had Danny call us on the show yesterday and say, hey, if you're going to be a Kiwi, you need to watch all the Lord of the Rings and even the Hobbit movies as well.
Starting point is 00:09:06 There's a few of them. Yeah. Now, this is the back, you know, Beef, Lamb and Lord of the Rings, three of our major exports. You know, we've still got Hobbiton, 29 years after the release of the movie. Have you been to Wellington before? I don't know if you've been to Wellington. No, I haven't.
Starting point is 00:09:19 The airport, everywhere. It's all Middle Earth. It's, you know, they're still, they're holding on to that. Well, somewhere it was filmed in Wellington. Yeah, a lot of it was filmed there. We renamed Wellington Wellywood. We even put a sign up in the hills. So it's like Hollywood, but it's Wellywood.
Starting point is 00:09:32 Oh, cute. See what we did? Yeah, I like that. See what we did there? Yeah. So this is the back. Now, before we listen to you watching Lord of the Rings and before you give us your feedback,
Starting point is 00:09:41 just remember there's a nation of people that you could offend. Yeah, right. I didn't think of that last night. We'll cast the audio back to last night. This is producer Taylor watching Lord of the Rings. Reading the Netflix synopsis, it says from the idyllic Shire of the Hobbits to the smoking chasms of Medoro,
Starting point is 00:10:03 Frodo bargains and barks on his epic quest to destroy the Ring of Suron. So I just found out that the movie is about literal rings I thought that was a metaphor for something else. Thought it's graphic. Great scenes though that heaps of people just dying in that louie louie now there's this bloody thing on the screen with a hunchback and no hair all right so it turns out that's gollum or gotham is the guy playing the main character the same guy that plays Harry Potter? And no one in this movie looks like they've had a shower in years.
Starting point is 00:10:52 So there we go. That was some highlights of you watching Lord of the Rings. Was Louis a new character from the thing or was that your dog? Every time that bloody creature came on, he went ballistic. Do you know I've actually based my look off Gollum for years.
Starting point is 00:11:09 I can see that now. You should have based the character. I bestowed my look. So, I love Lord of the Rings, but I know I love watching them. I got caught up in the madness. I went every year, read the books. But I know they're long. They're long.
Starting point is 00:11:24 So long. So long. So how much did you honestly get through last night of one movie? Honestly, an hour and 45 minutes. Oh, that's all that I thought. But my mom FaceTimed me during for about 45 minutes. Oh, okay. And when she FaceTimed, she goes, what are you doing? I was like, I'm watching Lord of the Rings.
Starting point is 00:11:37 She goes, what the hell are you doing that for? I was like, mom, for work. Oh, that bloody job of yours. I was like, I know. I can't. We're trying to make you part of a team of five million. And once you're part of the team of five million, you'll be in it forever. Until you get
Starting point is 00:11:50 successful, then we'll chop you down. Okay, so that didn't quite work. Okay, yeah. Any more ideas? 0800 The Hits on how we can transform Producer Taylor into one of us. We're also building up for Producer Taylor to become more of a Kiwi. She's been here for just over a year now.
Starting point is 00:12:10 We feel like we really, I mean, you've adjusted well to New Zealand. I think so. But there's a few more things you really need to learn before you become full-blown Kiwi. Yeah. Some great texts coming through here. You must send her to the supermarket in her pyjamas. A lot of them involve going to the supermarket either barefoot or in pyjamas. Pyjamas.
Starting point is 00:12:28 A lot of slippers as well. I'd be keen on that. Yeah, we could do that. Yeah, that's easy. Okay. Maybe she could develop an unhealthy obsession with the Warriors, reads one text. Well, I think you've already... Yeah, I think mine's very unhealthy, actually.
Starting point is 00:12:39 I mean, you married a player, so that's something you can't get more than that, I guess. And it started out under illegal circumstances, that relationship, too. Not at the Warriors. No. No, Bulldogs. You're a cheerleader, weren't you? Yeah. And fraternising with the players.
Starting point is 00:12:54 Mmm, saucy. Shouldn't have been fraternising. But now it's turned into a wonderful marriage. Yeah, it's like 10 years later. And now we hope to marry you to New Zealand. Any suggestions? You got 0800 the hits. Brett joins we hope to marry you to New Zealand. Any suggestions? You got 0800 the hits. Brent joins us.
Starting point is 00:13:08 How are you? Not too bad. You got a suggestion to welcome producer Taylor? Make her Kiwi-fy her. Yeah. Mountain oysters and a can of Lion Red. What's the game? A can of Lion Red.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Now, you've been to the Warriors before. And Lion Red's often at the Warriors. Of course, Marcello plays for the Warriors. So have you indulged in some Lion Red? Never heard of it. Do they not serve Lion Red in the Wives and Girlfriends lounge? They do out there for the battlers at the Warriors. Right, right.
Starting point is 00:13:37 Well, I'm not sure. Yeah, I'm more of a red wine gal. So, yeah. And you explain what mountain oysters are, Brett. They're the balls voices from the mountain of Also the testicles of the other of a yeah. Yeah of a ram that roams the mountain and that's like Like some garlic and butter? Oh, yeah. No, just throw it on the barbecue and away you go.
Starting point is 00:14:07 Yeah. Sometimes to keep it really traditional, we just like to remove them with our mouth. Oh! I mean, it's great. I mean, all us Kiwis are having it. I had some last night with the family. It was great.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Just a dozen. It was great. It's a rite of passage in this country. Right, right. We're all having it every day. Have you got sharp teeth? Wash it down with a line, Red. Delicious. Yeah, sounds it.
Starting point is 00:14:30 Yeah, good on you, Brett. Great suggestion. We'll get her to do that tomorrow. Okay, cheers for that. Sandra, you're on from Hamilton. How are you? Yeah, I reckon in order for producer Taylor to become an iconic Kiwi, why not complete the iconic Kiwi Burger McDonald's song?
Starting point is 00:14:49 Oh, and some sterling integration too from you as well because we have a McDonald's cash giveaway coming up very shortly too. Yeah, this was an iconic ad for the Kiwi Burger, the burger at McDonald's, Taylor, and this had a lot of things that were big in New Zealand and still are. Oh, I reckon that's good. I think they probably wouldn't say Murray Hucker nowadays. No, there's a few things that don't quite pass the standard test of time. Murray Hucker.
Starting point is 00:15:18 Yeah. I think they rebooted it a few years ago, this, didn't they, and booted out some things that didn't quite be right. We've got the OG version, mate. Yeah, the pronunciation wasn't great there. But, yeah, okay. Well, how about we let you do it? If you're going to do it, you're going to do it OG, you're right.
Starting point is 00:15:33 No, you're going to do some better pronunciation than that. I think, yeah, all right. How's that? Overnight, see how many of those you can remember. All right, so I have to learn it. We'll give you one chance tomorrow. You're going to learn it and see how much you can repeat back, okay? All right.
Starting point is 00:15:46 We might put something on it so someone can win something for the audience as much as you remember. Oh, no pressure. Yeah, I'm going to have to actually try with this one. I don't want you tapping out
Starting point is 00:15:54 like Lord of the Rings. Yeah, no, no. That was torture. Slate Lord of the Rings for 10 minutes. Yeah, all right. Tomorrow, Producer Taylor,
Starting point is 00:16:02 the Kiwi Burger song. This is News or Not. With Producer Taylor who comes in with fake news. The Donald Trump-sponsored fake news. Three headlines. One of them's fake. 0800 the hits if you can try and decipher which one is. What are they today, Tay?
Starting point is 00:16:19 All right, kicking it off with a big one. Dead body dumped in woods turns out to be very dirty, broken and overused sex doll, police reports. I don't have to be overused? Okay. Oh, God. Now I can't pick it up because I'm going to get shamed. Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:38 Taylor Swift begs fans not to dress up as her and Travis Kelsey for Halloween this year. I imagine that's a popular outfit. Yeah. And then number three, Island University, the first to offer a college degree in being a social media influencer. Now, I'm just going to loop back to the beginning. So, 0800 the hits.
Starting point is 00:16:55 You can text 24487 which one you think is the fake one. Just back to the beginning. I was going to say, we've got some hell pizza. You can get food, beer, and wine delivered right now at Hell Pizza, the home of the best damn pizza and it caters for any soul so oh 100 the hits if you think you know which of the headlines is fake if you uh made up the story about the overused dirty uh blow-up doll then some serious psychological questions need to be asked i'm gonna i'm gonna say that that's too
Starting point is 00:17:21 much detail it has to be true. Okay. All right. So that's true. How overused were we? What are we talking? Like pretty, pretty beaten. Deflated. Yeah. It's like, okay. Off to peaches and cream.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Get yourself a new model. All right. So I'll go with you on that one. I think that one might be fake. The second one, Taylor Swift. I'm feeling like that. What's the last one again? Ireland University, the first to offer a college degree
Starting point is 00:17:47 and being a social media influencer. Let's go to Taylor Swift. I don't think she would tell her fans not to dress up as her. But it is a jinx. Think about it. But she appreciates her fans. She's not going to bully. Have you met Taylor Swift, the nicest lady on earth?
Starting point is 00:18:03 No, I haven't either. She's sweet. Tamara, you Have you met Taylor Swift, the nicest lady on earth? No, I haven't either. She's sweet. Tamara, you're on from Auckland. Hi. Surely it's the last one. About the social media degree. 100%. That's taking it too far, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:18:17 All right. So let's lock in that one. Okay, I think that's where we're heading as well. Producer Taylor, what is the fake headline? So the fake one is the Taylor Swift one. No! Yeah, so you can actually go and become an influencer, like as a degree.
Starting point is 00:18:31 That's pretty cool. Okay, but why would Taylor Swift say such a thing? No, that's the fake one. Oh, right. Why would Taylor Swift say such a thing? Just Taylor Swift. I don't want to defame her now, God. Oh, Tamara Tamara you were right
Starting point is 00:18:47 No way really She was wrong guys Oh my god are we listening She said the third one Was the false one Which that was true Now I got confused as well too Then you got confused

We have given away too much pizza. Sinking them in pizza. Now, how long is the course? The degree? It's like a three year college degree. Here's how to do a high angle.
Starting point is 00:19:29 Here's how to sell some fit tea. And it's like content creation too which is cool. Yeah, three years. Seems like about two and a half years too long. Potentially, right. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. It is Fallout Boy. We Didn't Start the Fire,
Starting point is 00:19:48 his brand new music on The Hits, 7.15. Of course, that is a remake of the iconic Billy Joel. Well, it's kind of like a reversion, not really a remake of the iconic Billy Joel, We Didn't Start the Fire song. Bit of an updated version with more recent events. Because the Billy Joels were almost historical events up until 1989
Starting point is 00:20:05 when the song came out. Well, Fall Out Boy went, well, let's take Volume 2 from 1989 to 2023. And I think it sounds awesome, actually. Yeah, they've done a great job. I looked on YouTube and I think for the first time in YouTube history, all favourable comments about it. But there is
Starting point is 00:20:22 some fallout about the Fall Out Boy version because a couple of references fell out of the song yeah because if you're looking at the biggest things to happen in the world from 89 to 2023 there's an article i was reading on slate.com and there was they're gonna slate them you know 33 things wrong with the song and i was like oh 33 things no i won't go on all of them but they're like how could you start with captain planet about all the things. I was like, yeah, good point. Probably the syllables.
Starting point is 00:20:47 The syllables probably favoured Captain Planet. And, you know, when you're looking at animations, they haven't mentioned The Simpsons. They don't mention COVID at all. Coronavirus. That doesn't, I mean, come on. I mean, you can, we can also pretend it didn't exist as well. You know, they also said MySpace gets a line,
Starting point is 00:21:03 but no TikTok, no Facebook, no Twitter, you know, things like that. There's a lot of things throughout. No Titanic, the movie, no O.J. Simpson. The White Rhino is not actually extinct. Things like that. So, yeah, so they ran into a lot of detail. But I think all in all, it was a pretty good version of it, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:21 They maybe probably should have, what they've done, wrote the song, run it past some historians, and gone, have we had all the big bangers here? Because no doubt now they're getting all this feedback. They're like, damn it. Pete Wentz, why don't you check in the bloody Simpsons? We put Michael Jordan in there twice. 23 and 45. My daughter, actually.
Starting point is 00:21:39 Interesting timing, because last week they were just looking at the original Billy Joel song for a class, and they had to listen to it once and take one thing they remembered out of it and then go away and research what that was all about. So that was quite a cool little thing to do. But Billy Joe himself, he wasn't even a fan. He reckons it was his worst song he ever wrote, like as far as the melody goes. Have a listen. Take a song like We Didn't Start the Fire. It's really not much of a song. If you go like this. It's a terrible piece of music.
Starting point is 00:22:17 Take the melody by itself. Terrible. It's like a dentist drill. Terrible piece of music. Terrible. That's Billy of music. Terrible. That's Billy Joel on his own song. What we need to do, we were discussing this yesterday, is we need to do the New Zealand version of We Didn't Start the Fire
Starting point is 00:22:33 from 1989 to 2023. That's a great idea. Text through 4487 what needs to be mentioned. We don't want to have a Fall Out Boy controversy where we record it and then we're like, oh, you left out ghost chips. We'll always blow on the pie. You're right. Okay, well, we need to do that.
Starting point is 00:22:50 That sounds like a fun little project, mate. I'm only saying that now because every other radio show will be a race to the finish line on this one, Ben Boyce. What to Watch with Megan. How are you?
Starting point is 00:23:00 I'm good. How are you guys? We're doing all right. Busy weekend. Long weekend. You had kids' parties. Yeah, it was my daughter's first birthday. good, how are you guys? We're doing alright, yeah, busy weekend, long weekend, you had kids parties. Yeah, it was my daughter's first birthday. Yeah, and did you go, are you one of these people that just lays it on thick?
Starting point is 00:23:12 We weren't going to, but we laid it on thick for our son's first birthday, so we were like, oh, I don't want her to look back and be like, ah, what'd you do for me? Yeah, you didn't lay it on thin. This is the thing, because they don't remember, I was in this conversation the other day, they don't remember obviously Christmases and birthdays really, but you remember, same with holidays as well, if you go on day, you're like, well the kids, they don't remember. I was in this conversation the other day. They don't remember, obviously, Christmases and birthdays, really. But you remember. Same with holidays as well. If you go on a day, you're like, well, the kids, they don't remember half of it. Yeah, and it's more of a celebration for us.
Starting point is 00:23:32 Yeah, exactly. But yeah. I always find the parents get rather intoxicated at those one and two-year-old parties. They can do, right? Yeah, but did it turn into a bender? I haven't, like, I'm not a big drinker. I just never get around to it. But I woke up the next day and I was like, I think I've had too much.
Starting point is 00:23:46 A lot of people wake up hungover from a one-year-old's birthday party. But you know, we got to the day and we were like, we haven't bought her a present. We haven't bought her a present. And she's dairy free, which is highly annoying. And there was no food there that she could actually eat. So I was like, oh wow, who's this party for? Mum just got drunk. There's champagne.
Starting point is 00:24:05 I had a great time She didn't eat her cake It's probably a finish line milestone From no sleep for 12 months Yeah And it's probably your first blowout And she's not an easy child So it was a celebration for us
Starting point is 00:24:20 Congratulations again Thank you I'm going to save this recording And when she's older I'm going to say your mum said you weren't an easy child. Yeah. It was a crap pregnancy too and everyone said bad pregnancy easy kid. I'm like oh that's not true.
Starting point is 00:24:34 There's all those theories you know the ones sitting down below and they're like that's definitely a boy. And then people touch you. The touching of the belly is an odd one isn't it? Yeah. From strangers. You're like, oh, okay, that's still my body. How many belly rubs did you get?
Starting point is 00:24:49 A few. Probably only like three or four, but still. From strangers? Yeah. It's odd. Supermarket is the place. People just want to go touch your belly. It's weird when you're doing there's no baby in there.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Have you done that? That's a lovely little belly. So what are we watching this week? Have you had time to watch anything? I have, and it's a scary one. So be thankful because I don't do scary things. It's called The Fall of the House of Usher. I love Usher.
Starting point is 00:25:20 Great artist. Nothing to do with Usher. Who are you? Consequence. Nothing to do with Usher. It's actually based on a short story from the 1800s and it's by the guy who did The Haunting of Hill House, which I didn't watch because I'm smart and that would scare the crap out of me. But this one is a family. They're a pharmaceutical family.
Starting point is 00:25:47 And each one of the children start dying in very gruesome ways. When I say children, they're grown adults. But it's because of all the secrets from the pharmaceutical company are being found out. But there is one woman behind all the gruesome deaths. And it's so scary. What has she got her bee in the bonnet? Has she been stitched up by the...
Starting point is 00:26:07 Well, I don't know yet. Ah, right. A series. We don't know. Yes, it's a series on Netflix. We don't know why she's got a bee in the bonnet. We don't know what the secrets are. This is all unraveling in the show.
Starting point is 00:26:17 But it's so gruesome. Well, she's clearly got her knickers in a twist over being stitched up by the pharmaceutical company. Yeah, or by the dad. I don't know if it's like a relationship thing or remains to be seen. But yeah, to say that I saw it all would be a lie because I closed my eyes. Because when I watched It, that movie, I was terrified of drains as a grown adult. Like we're talking the remake. So a few years ago, I was scared of plug holes.
Starting point is 00:26:44 So I have closed my eyes for a lot of it. You just never relax, do you? No. During one of those. No, some people love it, though. My wife will love Amanda. She loves going along to a scary movie. Gets a heck of a fright.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Like, screaming, you know. But, yeah, likes that feeling. She'll love this, then. What did we make you watch last year? You watched something that was... Oh, there was a whole lot that you made. Yeah. The new It is frightening. Oh, the new It. There was a Con lot that you may, yeah. The new It is frightening.
Starting point is 00:27:05 There was a Conjuring. I haven't seen any of them, no. And another one, another one of those slow building ones. I can't remember, you may just, you know, and you just know something's, yeah. And it just suddenly gets, there it is. I went to, was it Paranormal Activity? And I got told off by people for singing Mary Had a Little Lamb in the cinema. Because I was like, I can't handle it.
Starting point is 00:27:25 Oh, is that your happy song? Yeah. We know things are dire when you start singing Mary Had a Little Lamb. I have all the songs to choose. Oh, well, there we go. So is it as frightening as one of my Instagram videos? Worse. Worse?
