I don't know, to be honest I don't know I'm not across the podcast charts I would say probably not

Do you want me to look at the New Zealand podcast charts? No, no good can come of that. Okay, let's pick your top five. What do you think is sitting in the top five? Is this local ones or just in general? Like Joe Rogan, is he in there? Cooking the Books with Francis Cook? Yeah, really, great follow.

sex stuff should we do a podcast where we just talk about sex stuff yeah I don't know if anyone wants to listen to us talk about sex stuff yeah no even about sex stuff Maybe Should we do a Should we do a podcast Where we just talk about sex stuff Yeah I don't know If anyone wants to

Do us talk about sex stuff Yeah no Even saying sex stuff Makes me weird Makes me just I'm not a person That should be saying sex stuff You know

They're like Shouldn't that be our podcast title Sex stuff John or Ben And like Okay what's episode one? Okay, we're doing a sex stuff. How to say sex stuff and not feel weirded out by it.

That would probably be the first thing. But no, I don't know if we've got the clout to do a sex podcast, to be honest. It'd be a little disappointing, like our sex life, probably. But, you know, no Joe Rogan in there at the moment, there, Ben Boyce. But no, and you, even worse No, you can't host a sex podcast And no, you're being a phone podcast Not inside the top five

That's why we have fun doing it That's the main thing Just slipping out of the top five this week Hey, they go up and down the podcast charts, don't they? They do, they do That's right, sex stuff But, excuse me We mentioned something on the on-air facet of our show today

where we referenced a blooper that aired on the very easy-listening, family-friendly radio station, The Breeze. Now, this was a number of years ago. And we said, we'll play this on the burner phone because we couldn't play it on the radio because it does feature some colourful language. You thought sex stuff was colourful language language wait till you hear this so uh yeah if you do have little ears in the car yeah this is a warning there's gonna have uh because we need to play this in full this was a moment that happened on the air and it happens from time

to time things you know go wrong from time to time and uh allison leonard who was the radio announcer at the time wonderful allison yeah we had her on our TV show and she made fun of it, made light of it. She embraced it, which was good on her. She's got a funny side of it. Exactly. This is what happened and we'll give you the backstory of how it all came to be as well, but here we go. Lunchtime requests at the Breeze.

Oh yes, and the boys are in town at the moment. Spandau Ballet. Fuck off. moment spend our ballet fuck off for me it's the impeccable timing of the oh you know it's like such a lovely lovely backing accompaniment to a swear word

now we had her on the TV show as we said I think we spoke to her on the radio. What she said she was doing was, at the time she was announcing, but also someone was bugging her over text or email or something like that, and it just kept popping up and popping up. Yes.

And then she obviously vented her frustration, as you do, but didn't realise that that had gone out live, or live on air as well. So, yeah, a great moment. A great moment in New Zealand broadcasting. And just on the breeze as well Which is

You know The other one The compolar opposite Of what that language is Oh yeah totally You're right Yeah If that had been said

Across Hauraki Or The Rock Or something like that Wouldn't even get Yeah no pick up No but it's just Yeah exactly Do you know

Speaking of which When I was working On The Rock radio station I think I've told this before We would sometimes You know the company Invest invested in technology that would let you record. And we're like, well, it's a waste of money, of the company's money, if we don't use this recording technology, Ben. So we would sometimes record, you know, the last half hour of the show and whatnot.

And I remember driving home. I was about three or four kilometres away from the radio station. And something started playing on the radio a break between me and my co-host robert at the time and as it started playing i was like oh dear god dear jesus sweet jesus i haven't edited this and what's running through my mind is we broke we made a mistake and i started furiously swearing to the point where it went over the top. You name a letter of the alphabet and a swear word associated with that letter, they're all covered off. The A to Z of blasphemy. And I was like, oh, it's coming up, it's coming

up. And it started playing. And I couldn't call anyone. No one was there to call. It was too far away to drive. So it's just got to play out as entirety. Oh, it was the most painful minute and a half of my life. Thankfully, no one heard it. No one heard it. Well, no one complained. You got no complaints at all. Alice and Leonard, there's one tiny left bomb.

Yeah. Yeah, it was incredible. Speaking of bloopers too, Ben, we were voicing an ad the other day, and I wanted to play this to you. It was fun. Oh, is this where I got right to the end? Right to the end of it. And then screwed up the final thing and you could hear the exasperation in my voice. Yeah, so it was a

30 second ad. You had nailed 99.99% of it and then just at the end you really, have a listen. Visit milfordasset.com Milford, local and invested in, oh. Just needed to say invested in you. I just have that

So yeah Just So No one was more disappointed Than you were In yourself At that moment You're right at the end

And you're like What do you think Should have been Your biggest On-air gaffe Your biggest On-air blooper Was it when we were

Talking about sex stuff Just before Yeah that was probably Up there with it yeah have you made it remember I did one on the

I think I did one on the edge remember that and you were going to edit it or beep it and and it was quite

an aggressive it was like a yeah it was like Alison Leonard saying F off you know like it was sometimes it happens and we're like

oh god we're going to have to live beep it Which means you have to try and check the beep And time it And it never works out I think you went I didn't edit this It was something pre-recorded

Someone done a joke on us I was like uh oh Because I swear quite late And it was like here it comes I'm like And you're like And it's quite When you hear it out the speakers

Knowing that it's going out live You you're like, oh, God. Do you wonder if people appreciate it or it turns people off? I don't know. Well, yeah, you're probably a bit surprised. Like, was that, did I just hear that? Yeah. Do you know one of, a blooper that, well, it wasn't so much a blooper, but it was just a miscommunication between you and Olympic gold medalist Sarah Walker.

Now BMX gold medal. Oh, she's great. I mean, love her. She's awesome. She's been giving us a lot of great time over the years, but you're right. We were doing a whole 24 hours of Zoom interviews. It was just at the end of COVID.

And we were very delirious. Very delirious. And she was signed on we were very delirious, very delirious. And she was signed on as a beef and lamb ambassador. Now it's had a rich history, the beef and lamb ambassadorship, hasn't it? Yeah,

you're right. The Everswindale twins were there. And then they had a whole lot of, it was the Iron Maidens was the ad as well. I think Lisa Carrington, Sophie Pascoe, Sarah Walker as well. They're all part of this Iron Maidens campaign. And I was

appreciating the pun because the iron, obviously from your beef and your lamb, and the Iron Maiden, as far as the rock band goes, and also Iron Maidens, the fact that they're female. So it's the trifecta of puns. And I was like, it was great. You get these

female athletes, which are part of this great pun, the Iron Maidens. And she was like, what does it matter? They're female athletes. And I said, well, it doesn't. But I only think it matters is for the pun, maidens. Now I can see you getting more and more flustered because you're like, uh-oh. She thinks I'm being sexist saying female athletes. And that's what Sarah Sarah she had hooked onto

she wasn't quite picking up your love of puns I was just saying the only thing I yeah the only reason I dwelled on the fact that they were female athletes was for the maiden part

to work in the pun yeah and she started rattling off you know all of the great achievements of all of the athletes not female athletes all of the athletes that are on the campaign

and I just kept saying it's the pun it was the pun And I just kept saying It's the pun It was the pun She was not Sarah wasn't buying it And rightfully so Sexist pig you are I know

Because No the only reason I found that very funny Is because you're the Polar opposite of Yeah Of that person I keep just saying

It's the pun For the pun to work It needed to be For the pun She wasn't hearing that Yeah we had it back on And we cleared things up, but it was a very funny moment in our delirious state.
