We had our suspicions because of a few work things that she's,
what's meant to be doing, that maybe the sickness was because she didn't want to do them.
But anyway, we spoke to Andrew.
She's seeing the story arc through to the weekend.
Yeah, we're going to.
I spoke to Andrew her husband yesterday, and this was his rolling coverage of Megan sickness.
I've got to confirm she's lying here.
She's looking pretty rough.
I don't know who that woman is in the bedroom.
She'll be glad with that description.
Would you expect her doing radio tomorrow?
I don't think you want her in, maybe.
hopefully back Monday
Yeah so one of the things that she
Was meant to be doing
And she didn't end up doing because she was sick
Was hosting I guess like within our company here
They have these sort of internal awards ceremonies
You know where they happen from time to time
Where they yeah it's a nice thing
They congratulate people
They've been great work behind the scenes
Yes the Champions Awards
They do like three a year
And so with Megan's absence
I get a call from our boss Harry
You know late Wednesday afternoon
Hi you probably know what this is a bit
Yeah. It's a sub in situation.
So all I can imagine is Megan can't make it, Ben, he can't be bobbard.
I'm the third choice option.
I didn't get asked.
There you go.
So you got the promotion.
I reckon they definitely dog lead over to Tony Street first.
Yeah, right.
She had some other stuff on.
So you go on stage with our boss, Michael Boggs, and you hand out these awards.
And, yeah, I felt a little underprepared, to be honest.
Producer Troy was recording this, so it's in front of the whole company.
People are zooming in from around the country.
as well.
Full transparency, not going to lie, Megan was meant to be doing this today.
And she's a big champion, a big champion of sick days.
She's not here today, but I do want to pass on my heartfelt gratitude to me.
And she's like, if I can't be there, I want to hand it to someone who doesn't get any
opportunity in this industry.
And that's a middle-aged white man.
Just a smattering of morning, jewell.
It's mid-morning.
It's not the time.
I mean, it's great that they do these, but everyone's like.
Like, you just like, stuff to do.
Yeah, it's awesome to recognise the people.
What you did get, and you stepped in for me again, but you didn't get mocked.
Roasted by our CEO, Michael Boggs.
So, like, he, yeah.
Of my alcohol issues?
Yeah, well, yeah.
Like, he's decided that you were normally on your fourth glass of wine by now mid-morning.
We really picked up the ball with a wine theme.
Yeah, red wine.
Yeah, right.
He's like, John, another bottle of wine for Jono.
I was like, oh, he's really running with this red wine theme, isn't he?
The problem is, when you're getting roasted by the CEO, you can't roast.
back. No, you can't. No, you can't take it.
You're thinking about your long-term employment.
And you don't want to risk that. And the other thing is like,
oh, they get it really early. You couldn't tell by all
the wrinkles on his face too. He started with that one.
And then he did the classic, good
of you to dress up for the occasion too
as well. And now, Ben, you've been
wearing it for many years. That was his dress.
That was his dress. I was a shirt jacket.
That was probably, it's probably
I was thinking about yesterday because that was
pretty, was pretty sharp for you, except for the cap.
The cap was probably the thing.
Kevin Boyce, my dad, he's a big.
He hates caps. Oh, yeah. The caps at the table.
I still to this day
like it's like
as bad manners
that wear a cap
at a table
I still ingrained
in my head
for years of like
no he mellowed
on no hats inside
but for a while
that was bad manners
no hats inside
and then hats
at the table
oh like everywhere
even a restaurant
but I still like
dad could come in
at any moment
I have to take my hat off
same to the kids
no hats on the table
they're like
why
I know
but if Bogsy
had gone up there
with a cap
what would you have thought
this is a relaxed
CEO
yeah
they're very relaxed CEO
so that's probably
That's right.
I thought, this guy's running a company.
