The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Cheers to Dilma, making the world a better tea. As everyone seems to get prepared for Christmas, Megan, you've taken it upon yourself to help me get a little more prepared for Christmas in a way that a lot of females tend to do. Get our hair done, get our nails done, spray tan, want to look your best over summer. So yeah, I thought I'd bring you up to speed with all of that.

Dyed my beard yesterday, you and Taylor, producer Taylor, in the studio. And it's definitely a lot darker. And I noticed, well, I felt like, because we went out for dinner last night. It was my daughter's birthday. I felt like people were kind of looking. But it was probably just in my head. Just like, is it? What did your family say?

Well, I didn't tell them at first. But I could tell again their eyes were sort of like, eh. And then I went, oh, I got my beard done. And they were like, yes. Try not to say anything. So maybe they thought I was having my midlife crisis. I was off doing it. But you look more youthful.

Well, thank you. You look great. And then yesterday we took you along to Glow Body where you had, we were calling it facial acupuncture. It's cosmetic acupuncture in your face. I know, which involves exactly what you'd think. A whole lot of needles in your face. It's meant to bring out collagen and almost puts your face into a little bit of trauma.

It's not painful, but then it's actually quite a good thing because all the blood rushes there in the collagen and it's meant to make your skin look more glowing. Look at me. Listen to you. Oh, man, I am drinking from the glow body kool-aid but this is what happened yesterday we went into the room the nice relaxing room i was lying on the chair and hannah who uh owns glow body was putting needles in my in my head have a listen okay we're at glow body i'm here with how many, so far, maybe 15, but we've still got a few more to go. You've got 15 in my face already? Yeah, we've only done half the face. Wow, Megan's over there like, like, Megan can't watch. I don't mind seeing them in your face, but I can't watch them going in. I'm feeling a bit woozy. Why are you? Stop making this all about you. It's about me right now.

So what areas are we working on right now? So we're focusing on the little crow's feet around the eyes, the smile lines. So it's just going to naturally soften them. Okay. So you put a few across my forehead. When you talk and when you move and make expressions, they move around. It's making me feel queasy. Well, you did this. This this this is on you yeah so I had quite a lot on my face didn't I yeah so originally she said about 20 needles but when you go in she does like an assessment in real time uh

so you needed 30 yeah a lot needed a couple more didn't really hurt like at all like a very momentarily sort of little little pinprick and then you forgot how many were in there yeah the needles are very fine she said it's fine as a baby's hair and then i'm not surprised you didn't feel anything she uh took them out and then we got some i got some facial cupping It feels nice. It actually feels really nice. It sounded like we were getting up to something else there, but it was like, yeah, because people get cupping on their back

and you can see the marks for ages, but this was just like cute little... Little suction kisses. Yeah, little suction kisses. Actually, no, that was the cupping. That was nice. That was really nice. No, I'm joking.

I'm joking. So all in all, it was actually a really, really good experience. I actually really enjoyed it. You even had a rose quartz crystal mask at the end. I felt like it was glowing at the end of it. Like I walk out there and my skin was glowing and it was, yeah, I was like, I felt good. As you said, we peppered my step.

So thank you very much and thank you to Glow Body as well for looking after me. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Yeah, WhatsApp autocorrect fails and yeah, after that great story from Jono's friend that autocorrected from EpiPen to something epic, something else as well.

And I had a very similar situation where I was traveling in an Uber with my wife Amanda. We're going out for dinner and we went past her mum's house in the Uber. What is your relationship like with her mum? Joyce and I get on actually really well. We get on really well, which is good. Which is probably good that we get on well because the story could have been a turning point in our relationship um and we went past her house amanda's mom's house amanda asked the uber drivers can toot that's my mom's house so he he tooted as we went past and then she went oh i should text mom uh to say that was us tooting

yeah and she amanda didn't have her phone it was in her bag she said i had my phone in my hand she's like i'll text my mum. I was like, cool. And I said, hey, that was us. Amanda and I just tooted in the Uber, but the tooted order corrected to an R, starting with an R. So I was like, hey, it was us. Amanda and I just, not tooted,

but something in an Uber as we went past. And then I sent it. And then I was like, oh, dear God. Oh, dear God. And then you overcompensate where I was like, oh, dear God, oh, dear God. And then you overcompensate where you're like, I mean, tooted, autocorrect. And then you're trying to smokescreen it with nine other texts just to kind of go.

What was her initial text back? Thank you for that information. And I was like, I couldn't even look at the phone after that. So, yeah, so autocorrect, just get rid of it. Doesn't it autocorrect to a word that you often use? Ben. Well, hey, yours, what was your one before?

Yours was sex as well. And Jennifer Aniston, of course, we all know from Friends, at many movies and TV shows over the years, she's under a little bit of flack at the moment because when filming

sort of sexy scenes for her new TV show, she didn't use an intimacy coordinator, which was on offer. She said she's old school, she didn't need it. Her and the other actor didn't need the coordinator for those scenes.

And she's under a bit of flack from, I guess, sort of new age, younger generation saying, well, why didn't you use... Saying she was being disrespectful, but surely that's her choice. She wasn't saying the whole thing is unnecessary and useless. She just didn't want to use one. I was a bit like, what is an intimacy coordinator? And you were explaining to me before the show that you've got sort of experience.

I haven't. It's secondhand experience. Because my partner, my husband Andrew He has used one Before when doing A musical Have you just got a line up of sexy songs He's been waiting for this moment So he did a musical

Called Tick Tick Boom Where him and the female lead I think she ended up lying on him on the couch And they had to kiss And it's very weird to watch. But they used an intimacy coordinator, which I actually thought was awesome because they didn't really know each other. They go in and the intimacy coordinator

helps them through safe touch. They also talk through any issues they might have personally where they don't like to be touched. It sounds very new age. But it's making sure everyone feels comfortable, right? talk through any issues they might have personally, where they don't like to be touched, any like path. It sounds very new age. But it's making sure everyone feels comfortable, right? Exactly. Yeah.

And by the end of it, he was like, we actually felt really comfortable with each other considering we hadn't known each other for a while. He then came home and was like, if you feel uncomfortable, the intimacy coordinator will work with partners as well. Oh, really? And I was like, what are the other partners saying? He's like, no, they're fine.

I'm like, well, I can't be the only one who's like, I've got a problem. How comfortable were you? Be honest, how comfortable were you when he watched him

pashing up a storm? It's the second time he's done a show where he's had to do a pash and he always undersells it. He's like, oh, it's just a quick pick. And then one time it wasn't,

it was a pash and he grabbed a bum and I was like, excuse me. In your mind, you're probably going a pash and he grabbed a bum and I was like, excuse me. In your mind, you're probably going, well, if he sees a quick pic, I don't want to throw Andrew under the bus there. But you're like, are you really getting into it? Are you adding this extra acting into the scene?

I know, is this what it's like every day or are you getting into it? Or is it better for him to go, hey, this is what they're telling me to do. I don't want to touch a bum, but I'm having to touch a bum. He's like, we're doing it in front of a live audience. It's so awkward. I'm like, didn't look awkward. It looked, we're doing it in front of a live audience. It's so awkward. I'm like, didn't look awkward. It looked very natural. Well, he's obviously a very good actor.

There you go. A very good actor. Okay, producer Joel, bring it in. And Megan, you've got an interesting dilemma this morning and the more you talk about it, the more I kind of go, oh, I can see why you've gotten your head over it. So initially it would seem like a no-brainer,

but you're right. I did get in my head about it. I was mowing my lawns. I mowed the lawns. Can I get a medal? Did Andrew come out and help you with it? No, he was working. That's why I did it.

I'm joking. That's what John would say. I was just trying to be... My life is way more practical than I will ever be. Like I can make a cup of tea and support her as she like uses all the tools that I don't know how to use. Oh, I love it. Yeah, she's amazing.

To be fair, I don't exclusively do the lawns. Andrew does them and he probably does a better job than me. But he was working. So I was like, I'm going to surprise him. I'm going to mow the lawns. I have a shocker with it too. I keep putting the wrong pitch on it. I'm just having a tear. And we have only got the shocker with it too. I keep putting the wrong picture on it.

I'm just having a tear. And we've only got the tiniest lawn because half of it's astroturf. So anyway, I kind of know your pay, but you're out there, you're mowing the lawns and then you have it. And this is going to drive people nuts. I do all over the show, I don't do nice straight lines. This is important. So I just get it done. But our neighbours,

they're going through some personal stuff. They're very busy. And they have had nice, like, lawn. What do you call it when you get, is it really lawn? Oh, yes, yes. You get rolled out lawn. Yeah. They paid to get, like, a special lawn done.

But it has kind of overgrown. And I don't care. But I know that they usually are quite proud of their lawn. But it has got out of control probably because they're going through some personal stuff. And so I was like, I could mow it. Is this the lawn at the front, like the berm by the road? So it's the berm and the front lawn. They don't have a fence.

Oh, right. So it's kind of both. So you can walk straight up to the windows of their house. And I was like, I'll do it. I'll mow the berm and I'll mow their lawn. But then as I was finishing our lawn, I was like, I'll do it. I'll mow the berm and I'll mow their lawn. But then as I was finishing our lawn, I was like, oh, I don't want them to get the wrong idea and think it was a passive-aggressive move.

Like, oh, your lawns are overgrown. I'll bloody mow them. It wasn't that at all. But then it's a nice thing that you were trying to do is just helping someone out. Like, would they be offended by that? I don't know. So in the end, I didn't do it because I got in my head about it.

And then I was like, is it weird? Like we chat and stuff, but is it weird that I would be, you know, like on their property when they're not there? And you're like, hey, and you're even saying, hey, I want to, I was going to mow your lawn the other day. You would think, or they go, oh, why does she think I, I need help mowing my lawns. Yeah. Is she annoyed that it was overgrown? Same thing happens to me with the you know the berm situation where our berm kind of ends in the next door neighbor's berm you know the little stretch of grass at the front of the property and in the past once i just mowed to my my bit i was like you know because i had stuff to do my wife's like that's you can't do that you

have to go back and mow the rest of it just looks like again looks like a bad look passive aggressive and then i started mowing their one and then i went exactly the same as you. I'm like, oh, what does that look like? Now I'm like, oh, your lawns are overgrown. I need to do it. And I thought maybe I could just mow their boom, but then their boom wouldn't match the rest of the garden. And then I thought maybe they'd take that as the wrong, like, can you mow your lawn, when I was just trying to be helpful.

So you need some help right now. And we've got some ASB Classic tickets to give away for people that want to call us on 0800. The question you want to know. Would you be offended if your neighbor mowed your lawn? Would you be okay with it? Or does it look like a passive-aggressive move on my part? Personally, I'd be okay because I hate mowing the lawn.

And I'd be like, thank goodness someone else did it. Can you come every fortnight? That's the thing is our neighbor i know he likes his lawns and i wouldn't be doing straight lines you know i'd be like me me me me me andrew and like zigzags all over the show but it would be done so maybe you do this maybe you mow your neighbor's lawn or maybe you've had your lawn mowed by a neighbor and you felt kind of in oh you felt kind of offended by it oh and the hits the. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. I wanted to know from our listeners

if mowing my neighbour's lawn was a good idea or a bad idea. Initially, you'd be like, sure. But then I got in my head about it and I didn't want it to look like a passive-aggressive move, like I was sick of looking at their lawns. Yeah, which I can see how you thought

that could come across. I'm kind of the same as you. I overthink things and I think, oh, geez. When really, you're just trying to do a nice thing. Yeah, I know can see how you thought that could come across. I'm kind of the same as you. I overthink things and I think, oh, geez. When really, you're just trying to do a nice thing. Yeah, I know they're busy. They're going through some things. I just wanted to help them out. So, oh, 800 the hits.

We wanted to know if you think it's a good idea or you think it's a little bit pass-ag. Marlise, what do you think? I think it's a good idea. I do it for my neighbour and he does it for me when we're away. Oh, that's nice. You've got the relationship. Okay, so you've got the front grass at the front of the property, but would you go onto their property when your neighbour's not home and mow it? Yep. Okay, all right. Are you quite good at mowing though? Do you do straight lines? Yes. Yeah, I'm very particular. Well, yeah. You've got to be on the same level of mowing though? Do you do straight lines? Yes. Yeah, I'm very particular. Well, yeah.

You've got to be on the same level of mowing. Yeah, that's true. We're going to send you along to the ASB Classic Tennis in Auckland. It's an amazing tournament. Enjoy that. Awesome. Thank you so much. You're welcome. Vinesh, do you reckon it's a good idea to mow your neighbour's lawns?

Yes, I did in the weekend my lawns and I also did a two houses down so long it frustrates me so I went down there and mowed the lawns. So yours was a little bit passive aggressive. Yes.

But were the neighbours thankful? It's more like a lot of people do not want to mow those lawns because they've got this thing about it's the council. Yes. But at the end of the day, it's making your house look messy and dirty. You know what I mean?

Yeah. No, I do hear what you mean. But I think the council used to do it in some towns and cities, and now they don't, or they do, or they take ages. No, they don't do it anymore. And a lot of people just ignore it. But I actually, when I was living in Pakuranga, I actually did four houses of the four booms.

It just doesn't look good. I'll text you my address. I'm going to move in next to you. We're going to send you along to the tennis, enjoy that. And I don't think they play on grass, otherwise you might be frustrated. You might be out there mowing that. No, no along to the tennis and enjoy that. And I don't think they play on grass, otherwise you might be frustrated. You might be out there mowing that. No, no, I'm all good with that.

It's just a boom. Thanks, Vinesh. And Natasha, how do you feel about mowing your neighbour's lawns? Sorry, Natasha? Natasha, yeah, you. Yes, I'm sorry. I wish somebody would do our lawns for sure. Yeah.

You know, we live in a subdivision, and we have like a shared road at the top of our subdivision, and our section slopes down. So the lovely people mow along the side of the road, but obviously they don't do our little berm, which is quite steep, and the only way to mow it is with a weed eater. So I wish somebody would come along and do that. That's a lot of admin. I don't think I'd be mowing that. Yeah, it does sound like a lot of work.

That's the thing as well. I was just going to say, we just look at it as like weeds that are just flowers planted in the wrong place. Yeah, yeah. I don't think you're justified any way you want, but you can go along to the tennis. We're going to send you along to the ASP Classic. So what do you think, Megan? Summing it up, where do you feel now?

I think most people are saying it's a nice thing to do. There are a couple of texts being like, don't do it, especially don't zigzag it. I feel like maybe, though, you do start an obligation thing. I think we did it the other day when we even got a hot drink after the show. You bought one thing, and then the next day I'm like, oh, now I owe you.

And that's the other thing you're going to get into, an obligation thing with your neighbours. And then they're going to start to expect it. I think maybe I don't. Producer Taylor, you saw something on TikTok

and you came in full on, full on Australian to me this morning, early in the morning. Like, put me on the spot with a quiz and i failed it now what what's what was i meant to say so this tiktok trend is of women asking their partners um name a female's name right yeah and if they're loyal you should think that the first name that pops up to their head is their partner's name. I just had a name to female now. I see Cassandra. Yes, and now we're all very sus on who Cassandra is.

I don't think I know Cassandra. There's no Cassandra around here. I don't think I know. I just named a female name. That was the question. I don't know, mate, because you do have a very active social life. So it is possible you have met a Cassandra that's caught your eye. I don't want to put words in your mouth.

It sounds like you are. You're looking good. The acupuncture, the bees. I'm looking younger, you're right. Yeah. I'm having a midlife crisis. So I failed, apparently. I should have said Amanda, my wife's name.

Gotcha. In hindsight, I should have. But I was just on the spot from you. You make me nervous. And I went, I don't know, Cassandra. Apparently, Cassandra makes you nervous too. Jeez, okay. the spot from you you make me nervous and i went oh i don't know cassandra apparently cassandra makes you nervous too okay so we thought we should try this with each of our partners and see how they go see if they fail as badly as me you're ready for this megan because we have andrew

your husband on the phone good morning hello good morning babe how are you good morning good morning i haven't actually seen you this morning. Good morning. Good morning. I just wanted to ask you a question. Yes. Can you just name a female, a female's name? Emma Watson.

Excuse me? We're all here, Andrew. Good morning. Excuse me? I like it. It was an actual person we know. As it's been going around on TikTok, I fell into the trap of not answering my partner's name, Andrew,

but you named an actual person we all know, a celebrity. Well, that was weird. I don't know why she asked me that. Why did you say Emma Watson? I don't know. Why did she ask me that? Why did you say Emma Watson? I don't know, because you like her, and it's like the only female I can think of right now. I said Cassandra. I don't even think I honestly know a Cassandra,

but now everybody's like, who's Cassandra? Who is she? And I'm like, I don't even know. The only female you could think of as well, as opposed to the one you're talking to and the one you're married to. I suppose. Yes, that's the only one I can think of.

No, I like it. Yeah. I mean, I do like Emma. It's a good choice. Yeah, and he saved it quite nicely by saying you like Emma Watson. What do you think, Producer Taylor? Do you think anything's going on between Andrew

and Emma Watson? I would just like to know what Andrew's been up to this morning regarding Emma Watson because it's sus, mate. It is sus. I'm on to you now. You're in the same boat as Ben. I've definitely not been changing nappies and fighting with a toddler about eating their toast and what's not.

Definitely not doing that. Definitely not. Thanks, babe. Have a good day. And leave Emma Watson alone. Because I can't compete with that. Just tell her, I reckon you should try this right now with your husband. Yeah, and there's only one right answer,

and I think we can all assume how it goes. Emma Watson, is that a right answer? No. That's a good answer, Emma Watson. Am I the only one that wants Marcello to say not Taylor's name just to see her reaction? Yeah. So let's call Taylor's husband, Marcello.

Hello. Hey, Sal, it's Tay. Hey's husband, Marcelo. Hello. Hey, Sal, it's Tay. Hey, babe, how you going? Good, mate, how are you? Good, bubba. What's going on? I have a question for you. Yeah.

Name a woman. Taylor. Thank you. Thank you. He got it. He got it. That's a well, high-functioning relationship. Wow.

You passed the test. Marcelo, sorry, it's Ben here, it's done. That's a well, high-functioning relationship. Wow. You passed the test. Marcella, sorry. It's Ben here. It's Megan here on the hits. Hi. You've been stitched up, but you passed. Yeah. Marcella knows better than to say another woman's name.

We wanted the fireworks from Taylor if you didn't say Taylor's name, but you did well. I've trained him well. You have, yeah. We rehearsed this 10 times. He's even too scared to speak to us right now. Fear of saying something wrong.

Marcella, while I've got you on the phone, I just wanted to let you know that your son Louis is behaving very well this morning in the office. First thing he did when he came in the doors this morning, what happened there Taylor? He did do a poo in the studio, but that was because I didn't have time to take him out.

But that's fine. I glad to any of the area. It's all good. Ah, man. He's fine. Great to have him in here. It's really good. We're all loving it.

All right, Sam. Enjoy training. What a great year for the Warriors too. We'll segue into the Warriors But up the wars Thanks Ben Thank you Name a female's name

Something that's going around TikTok Now I Should have in hindsight Yes of course I should have said Amanda In my wife's name You said Cassandra

And we're all like Ah Just name the female's name No Cassandra works here Where'd you get that name from? I don't I honestly don't know But anyway I said Cassandra That and we're all like, ah. Just name the females. No, Cassandra works here. Where'd you get that name from? I honestly don't know. But anyway, I said Cassandra. That was the wrong answer.

So we thought we'd test our partners today. Now, you tested Andrew. He said Emma Watson. So that's a fail. I don't think I need to worry about him actually having an affair with Emma Watson. I think she's busy. You're probably comfortable. Cassandra, another conversation for another day.

And then producer Taylor just threw around Marcello, her husband, Montoya, who plays the Warriors, and he said the correct answer, which was Taylor. Yeah. Yeah. So I think now. Making you look really bad. Yeah.

Let's reverse it. Let's see what a female would say if put in that position. No one thinks of me as a man, though, either. So she's not going to say Ben. Not even your no one thinks of me as a man though either so she's not she's not gonna say ben say think of a little boy oh no that's weird an immature boy ben think of another child good morning good hey it's me how you doing hi good hey a quick question. Yeah. Name a man's name. Ben. Oh!

Yes, Amanda. Yes, yes. Thank you. Good for the women. You passed the test. Thank you. I just want to let you know that I asked Ben to name a female's name, and he said Cassandra.

So I don't know if you've caught anyone in your life that is Cassandra that you need to be worried about. We're on watch. Who the hell is Cassandra? I don't even know a Cassandra. What the hell? Thank you. Okay, this is almost really backfired. I don't know either.

Who is Cassandra? I don't know. Put me on the spot and said, name a female's name. Taylor scares me, firstly. And I went, oh, I don't know. Your wife named you. I know.

She looks like a better person. Oh, well, you have a great day. All right. Lovely to talk to you. All right. Oh, well, that was funny when we rang Andrew. That's cool, Andrew Bang. We didn't even ask you the question, but you know the answer now, don't you?

Thank you. I didn't think it would have been Andrew, to be honest. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Now, we want to talk this morning about when your dog has embarrassed you, because we're all dog owners. You own a dog, Megan. I do. Producer Taylor has got her dog, Louie, in today.

Louie and I, we had a frosty start to the relationship, but we're pretty good now, aren't we? Yeah, I think he's really warmed up to you, actually. He just snarled and growled at me for a while, but now we're all good. But you brought Louis in today, and first thing that Louis did, walking into the building. Now, you had a bit of a walk before that? No, I parked out the front this morning. Oh, so not too long.

Yeah, it was too cold for him. The wind was strong this morning. Oh, jeez. I thought I'd pull up right in front of the building. He obviously had his brekkie before we left for work and decided to chuck a squat right there in the office. But not outside. Not outside.

But as soon as he got in the door. And you know what? I don't blame him. It's warmer inside. It's softer on the carpet. He likes to poo on the carpet. Yeah. You know, we've all been there.

Marking his territory. But that's the thing. I mean, we're dogs. You love them, but they do have times where you are a little bit embarrassed by them. Happened to you. Remember that? I wasn't sure if you were going to bring this up. It's the same sort of situation as Louis happened.

You brought your dog into the office. Leo, he's a rascal, and he decided to do a poo under Ben's desk out in the office. And this was before we worked together. So then Ben walked out, didn't see it, and stood in it. No. And just walked it all the way. You know when you're sitting. Walked it through.

I came back into the studio, and I was just, you know that smell? And you're like, oh, it smells. Oh, something's a bit funky. And then you're like, oh, it's on my shoe. And then you retrace your steps, and you're like, I had walked it everywhere. Not even a rug doctor could have cleared that up. And Ben was doing the ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

But he was not happy about it. Well, there's no – I mean, what do you do? We come back from that for your day. That's at 5 in the morning. Your day's not getting great from there. So that's what we want to know this morning. Oh, 100 of the Hits, 4487. When your dog has embarrassed you.

It's happened to me many, many times with my doofus of a dog, but I love him. One particular occasion, we were walking along a boardwalk close to home. He's quite big. He fell off, and then, of course, he just dragged me as well into the swampy mud, and both of us turned up home going, oh, this was cool. This was great.

So that's what happened. That's just one of many, many stories, but I want to hear yours this morning. Oh, Andrew was cool. This was great. So that's what happened. That's just one of many, many stories. But I want to hear yours this morning. Oh, Andrew, the hits. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. Fast approaching Christmas, aren't we, Megan? 11 sleeps to go.

Not long to go. Very excited. Although Producer Joel was just saying nine sleeps for him. He's got a couple of big nights planned. That totally went over my head. We are heading into the Christmas season. And Producer Taylor brought in her dog, Louie, which was nice, a nice little holiday treat for us today.

But very quickly after arriving at work, Louie had a wee accident on the carpet, which again, Producer Joel sometimes has after his big nights. So we're used to it. Yeah, we are used to it. But when has your dog embarrassed you? That's what we want to know this morning on 0800 The Hits. And Steph joins us. When's your dog embarrassed you? That's what we want to know this morning on 0800 The Hits. And Steph joins us. When's your dog embarrassed you?

How did my dog embarrass me and cost me a lot of money? My sister came to visit me one day. She went to leave an hour later, jumped in her car, and she's like, where's my food shopping? Oh, no. Oh, no. She'd done the groceries, and they were in her car. She went on to the butcher, poured a pile of meat,

and had gone to the supermarket and got some chocolate and lollies. Yeah, so it was all gone. And she's like, your dog ate it. And I was like, you don't know that. And I was like, how do you know? And then she'd got a Nissan Tita car. And so it's pretty small. And the window was down.

Our dog is like a massive polar bear. White fur. He had jumped. We then discovered on the side of the front seat, there was all this white fur down the side. Oh, incriminating. So we're like, oh, yeah, okay, yeah, what's my dog? So he'd eat it like...

He'd jump through the car window and consumed, I think it was like a good 12 pack of beef soft, beef home-cooked sausages. Oh, sausages, yeah. A kilo of mince. This was around a Christmas time, I think, as well, because she had it. I remember there being evidence of a box of candy canes and a block of chocolate.

Chocolate's not good for dogs, right? Yeah. No. And then we were like, is he OK? We were looking around. He was hyper. He was doing some big zoomies around the box. Sugar rush.

His sugar rush was odd. So he was fine, by the way. We did not use daggers. He is indestructible, this dog. Jeez. So as producers tell us, saying also maybe CDs as well. He may have got cracked in the... Yes, there were some CDs.

There were some chewed-out CDs. She enjoyed listening to audio books. So she had borrowed these from the library. Wow. Did she make you pay for the CDs and the groceries? She didn't need to make me pay Of course I was going to pay You're like dog

Yeah You always wonder that Because my dog's big like yours And you're always like How much would they eat If they could just Like help themselves To the fridge

Or the back of the car And you've answered That question for me Everything It is Nothing It's like Everything is on option

With this dog He's chowed through An electric sander cord and been fine. He got into the food, like, you know, your garden fertilizer. He ate half a bag of that. Oh, jeez. It's indestructible. But no, he was still fine the next day. Wow.

Well, Steph, that's amazing. Your dog story. It's incredible. It's almost like, we said it was embarrassing, but it's almost like a badge of honour that your dog did this. We're going to send you a double pass to the ASB Classic Tennis. It's happening in Auckland early in the new year. Enjoy that.

Awesome, thanks so much. Vicky, how did your dog embarrass you? So I was just walking my dog along the beach and then my dog decided to just take off. And people were just relaxing, having a picnic, and then she decided just to pee on their bag and lift her leg. And I, there's nowhere to go.

There is nowhere to go. Well, there's the ocean. You can swim. Just keep swimming, I guess. No, that's right. Why did they choose? It wasn't so expensive. I left her behind.

But anyway. I've actually been on the beach and had a dog pee on my bag. But I don't know why they choose. How do they choose what they're going to wee on? And they love shaking themselves when they're wet next year as well. They're just all next to other people. It's a beach, an empty beach. But yeah, same thing happened to my dog.

We went to an outdoor movie and we were allowed to take dogs. We took our dog and it peed on someone else's picnic blanket. And then you had to sit next to them the whole night. Because they're glaring at you. This is cool. Did you go over and talk to them, Vicky? Yeah, and they were very apologetic, and they were very good about it. So very, very lucky.

Oh, that's lovely. Well, Vicky, we're going to send you a double pass to the ASB Classic Tennis. You have yourself a great Christmas. Hey, lovely. Thank you so much. The Hits, the ASB Classic Tennis. You have yourself a great Christmas. Hey, lovely. Thank you so much. My wife, not overly happy with the fact that I have a few tattoos around myself and a few names over there. And some tattoos mean a lot personally and other tattoos have just been moments of, I

guess, stupidity in my career that I look back. It's so weird to me that you have like these meaningful ones and then you're like oh and just tattoo the rock on my bum yeah yeah I mean that's that's that's definitely in the meaningful camp there's no there's no regrets about it but I do have a love heart of my heart Dwayne Johnson on my bum and his signature yes I do and and then I have a few other random ones as well obviously I've got my daughter's names in there and some of the drawings that they've done and bits of their handprints and stuff,

which my daughter's now look at, and he's like, I can draw way better unicorns now. Why would you get that tattooed? Waiting till I can draw one, like legit. Why do it when I'm three years old? But that's what I love about it. But then at the same time, I've had Lorde signed her name on my arm next to my kids.

Did you get that tattooed? I got that tattooed, yeah. Show me. I got that tattooed. So I've got Sienna in Indiana, and then I've got Lorde underneath as well. Benjamin. And then my wife Amanda's like, well, you've got Lorde's name on there. You've got Jono's name on there.

You've got Dwayne Johnson's name on there. You've got the kids' names. You've got Astrid S., who's a Norwegian pop star. Anyway, well, let's not go into the back story of that. That's that's somewhere behind she's like you haven't got my name i'm like oh i haven't i've got our wedding anniversary in roman humors i've got her lips uh like tattooed like a lip print as well but i haven't got her name i'm like oh is that a bad look i'll be honest it is a terrible look also i was on board with Amanda, but then you showed me you've got your daughters and then underneath where her name should be, you've got

Lorde. Lorde out of it. I'm most proud of her as far as all my kids go. Lorde is, I mean, she has achieved so much and that's a reminder for my other kids, you know, to strive for getting to where Lorde has been. International greatness. Yeah, she's won a Grammy and stuff.

My kids haven't won that yet, so that's why Lorde's on the arm as well. It's not only the fact that you've got her name, it's in the place where your wife's name should be. You're right. I'm totally on board with her. Okay. I've only got one tattoo,

and it is A, and it's for my husband. And he's got an M. That's cute. And I think producer Taylor's got her. They've both got each other on their body. I had, because we got engaged in Rome, so that's why I got Roman numerals tattooed for our wedding date, but I forgot our wedding date one year. And that's not a great look when you forget your wedding date

and it's tattooed on your arm like this. You're not winning any points here. No, not a lot of excuses other than the fact that i can't read roman numerals that well oh is that what that means the x one okay yeah so okay so you need to do it is that we can absolutely organize this for you maybe it needs to go on your forehead
