The John O'Ben and Megan podcast, thanks to Dilma. Goodness really does taste great. Dilma, making the world a better tea. Oh, yeah, you've got hiccups here, Megan. Yeah, sorry. She's been lying. Yeah, you're nothing but a liar. I'm going to be my hiccups.

Your husband's serious. If you start hiccuping, you've been fibbing. So have you been lying this morning? Always. Always. Yeah, great. It'd be great. It's radio.

That's all we do. So, well, this isn't a lie. This was a horrific moment last night. absolute shocker of asleep I don't know why but the dog has decided I'm the guy that gets him up in the middle of the night and takes him out for a pee and so he will

he will like gently sort of jump on the bed and gently tap my forehead with his paw Oh that's so cute And we get up to all sorts of stuff in the night He joins me when I'm sort of fosicking around three in the morning But he tapped me on the head And so I was like okay Toilet time must be time to get up

Get up let him out coffee triple shot a triple shot a coffee can you stop like the sound effects bro I'm trying to tell a serious story here so what time was this again I didn't know I pounded back the triple shot coffee then I looked up at the clock it was five past midnight

five past midnight last night and the panic said it stop her capping mate really distracting when I'm trying to do some serious radio highbrow stuff here It's not serious. And you're over there going. It's just him being an idiot like,

not checking the time. Did you go back to sleep? Well, I panicked. I, yeah, because I wanted to get back to sleep before the caffeine said it. I'd give up, knock it up. You don't need to head into the first.

She's railroaded it. No, you're in your body function. Yeah, always just, who. You know, a man talk for a change, right? Yeah. When are we going to get to say something? Oh, geez.

Yeah. No, I'm not sorry anymore. I don't always said that. No, it was necessary, Ben. She needed to hear it. John O'Ben and Megan. The podcast. The Hats.

First did we get onto this topic? I just, I remember someone mentioning it on Friday. Megan brought it up on Friday, like about a family whistle. Yeah, I remember you saying you're not a fan of your wife whistling at you. No, she's her family, like her dad had a whistle that would kind of, they would know about it and they would get the attention of each other and they're kind of like a little. thing and sometimes she'll use it on me when we're out and about and I it's like a sheep whistle isn't it's like her one she can do a sheep whistle but the family one was like almost like do do do do I can't the whistle yeah like that it was like that loud loud you don't like being

whistled at no and it really gets it I hear it and I ignore it I'm like I'm not a dog I'm not not reacting to a whistle I'm not reacting to a whistle but I guess like you didn't grow up with a family whistle because that's how like when you're in a crowd of people that's that cuts through There's a whistle on me. It's only people in your bloodline know that particular whistle. It's like a car alarm for your genetics. Yeah, and I'm like, it's not my whistle. I'm not reacting to it.

That's not for me. It's your family whistle. Yeah, very upset about it. I do. I do. I'm something about it. Would you prefer to be whistled at or clicked fingers at? Probably click.

I don't know. Oh, really? But the thing is, if she's like yelling out, Ben, with everyone talking, like, it gets lost. I don't know. I just don't like it. My mum, I always, my mum and dad, but mainly my mum in, like, crowds. and the supermarket anywhere, she could whistle, and I'd be like, yeah, here I am. I wonder if she's still got it, Ray, Ray.

She would give her a call. Yeah. Do you reckon she could still belt it out? Absolutely. The family whistle. So ours was like, whee-hmm. Imagine if your family's whistle was. Hey.

How are you speaking? Hello, ma'am. Good morning. Good morning. Eight bloody degrees this morning. Is it? Autumn's here. Right.

Winter. It might be autumn in Auckland, but it's winter in Nelson. Straight into the weather report. No pussy footing around. Now, sticking straight out. What's sticking? I don't know.

No, no. You got it. You got it. Move on. Hope that the audience didn't hear it. We're talking about family whistles this morning, Mom, and I said that we had one you particularly would always use. Now, I've done the whistle.

I wanted to see if you still remember it and you can do it the same. Yeah, wait on. Just got to get my lips puckered. There we go. Yeah, it was, yeah. Yeah, yeah. My ears prick up. And you would you use that in crowded malls?

Would you use that crowded malls and sort of fears to get the attention of the kids, Ray, Ray? Yeah, it's, well, it's a backwards one. Oh, yeah. It's the reverse sexual one. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Who came up with a fan, was that you that came up with it?

I don't really know. It was just, oh, I don't know. It was, well, you couldn't very well whistle your kids and go, No, you don't No, you had to go Oh wait on It's too cold On the spot it's quite a little whistle

Eight degrees too Yeah It'll really moisten those lips There was actually frost on the caravan roof Oh there was Not ideal whistle conditions Ice Well Ray Ray

Yep I don't Keep up the good work Keep warm Okay I will I'll tuck the nips away Okay Thank you. Oh, that was it.

I knew we should wrap her up. Thank you, Mom. So glad I'm thinking about that. John O'Bin and Megan. The podcast. The Hats. Well, Megan, no Megan at the moment. We need to launch an investigation to the whereabouts of missing Megan.

Producer Troy, if you could make your way in here, you were traveling on the motorway at the same time as Megan Pappas this morning, first thing? Yeah, followed her in. She's got a pretty unmistakable car, so I knew it was her and pulled into the building at the same time. And then it got to about like 5.30 and she still wasn't in. So she was in the building, but not in the studio, right? Definitely in the building, in the car park at least. Right. But had it made it into the studio.

Now, she does like a nap. So my theory is she's having a bit of a cozy morning nap. Very early morning. Aircon maybe turned up a tad too much. Yeah. Sleepy, sleepy conditions. Should I call her right now and wake her up because the show started. She missed the news.

I don't actually have her number on 40. I'm sorry. We'll give her a call this morning. And hopefully she'll join her. us join the show. I love this though. I love this. She added an hour nap,

so she'll be feeling like a million dollars, but also... Yeah, will she? How do you wake up and then go back to... It's just like, so soon, yeah. Yeah, you've had a shower. You've had... Sorry, I really can't talk, and here we go.

One, five, yeah, one is it, not... You know, you've prepped yourself. Yeah. Primed? Yeah. Maybe a little bit breakfast, a coffee? Driven all the way, yeah.

Hopefully she's going to answer This will be Confronting phone call for her if she is asleep Come on, Megan Come on Megan You can do it Wake up Megan We might have to go down

You reckon? She's not going to answer We're going to take this live Ben This is rolling coverage of Sleeping Megan Yeah It's Megan here Yeah

No we're going to get in there Okay So listen we'll turn this recorder on And hopefully we can Okay Hopefully we're broadcasting, Ben. Okay, we're going down. We're going to go down in the elevator down to the garage and see if she's there.

Producer Grace is filming this. We'll put this on the Hits Breakfast socials, walking through the pitch black office at the moment. It does seem unusual, Troy, that you were following her on the motorway. Like 40 minutes ago. I was just thinking this is going to throw her a whole day out if she's gone back to sleep. Like this early, this is just anyway. But maybe it's working for it?

Well, she is the show's cereal napper, too. So we wouldn't put it past her. Okay, here we go. We're just in the elevator at the moment. What you might not know at home is that Megan has a luxurious building car park as well. We park 10 kilometres or anything. At least 1020. Mike Hosking and Megan Pappas.

The only two people. Yeah. And Stephen Joyce, the head of our board. But here we go. Oh, here she is. She has been sleeping in the car. Have you been snoozing? No.

Yes, she's been sleasing in the car. She's looking glassy-eyed. What's not? What I'm not? Okay, so what have you been doing for the last 45 minutes? I have been getting here. Producer Troy followed you in. He was behind you on the motorway and then he said she's been sitting in her car for a really long time.

I may have fallen in the car. Yeah, yeah, there we go. Well, hopefully I don't even know what song we're going to do right now. John O'Benn and Megan. The podcast. The Hits. The Hits. Okay, Bruno Mars, it is the Hits Breakfast.

Seven minutes away from 9 o'clock on your Wednesday morning. Now, my husband is a singer, and he's in a musical coming up called And Juliet. It's about Juliet's life if she didn't actually die when Romeo died. She moves on from Romeo. And my husband is playing Romeo. Now, when I, yes, okay. He's dead as well, but obviously not. Yeah, right.

He comes back to life. Is Juliet like, oh? Yes. You're the last person I've expected to see? Pretty much, because she has moved on. I've got a husband, some kids. I really don't need this right now. We're starting primary school.

It's a little awkward, yeah. And I was a little bit psycho, and I googled whether Romeo needed to kiss Juliet in this, because, you know, she's moved on. Google told me no, so I never said anything. I was like, fine, this is great. And when we were in a cafe a couple of weeks ago, on a Sunday morning, it came up in conversation and my husband admitted that, yes, he does indeed have to kiss Juliet. Yeah, so there is a smooch. A pivotal bit of information.

I think he must have been in the same camp that we were, that you'd just assume that the two would connect via lips. Well, he was the one who's told me all about this story and he was like, you know, Juliet moves on, she's found someone else. And you're like, oh, she must be really happy in her new relationship. Yeah, wrong. You're trying to patch him and begin back. Hey on, hang on. Who's this guy, Romeo? Come back into your life.

Who do you think he is? Yeah. Sorry, okay, I was reeling with the fact, okay, he has to smooch Juliet. And now... Practice, it rehearses it, too. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, you don't want the kiss to happen for the first time on stage. You need to know what you're doing, don't you?

He needs to know where her lips are located. It's pivotal. Can we go through Andrew? Yeah, let's get Andrew on, because he can... Because I've got another bomb shelf. Hi, if you record your name. If you record your name. name and reason for calling.

Oh, one of these. Good morning, team. What have I done with you? We're about to record our name and the reason for calling, but yeah. I thought you were going to screen us. Lovely to have you on, Andrew Pappas. Looking forward to... We get phone calls when I've done something wrong.

What have I done? Oh, you're kissing other ladies. That's the first port of call. You, Jono. You did not tell me that you have to smote someone in your musical. Yeah I mean it kind of just slip my mind

It's like not that important It's not pivotal to the character You know It's just a little moment It's just a little moment It's yeah It's kind of a side thing It's not really that important

There's lots of other things going on When you come watch the show You'll see We've been reading lines together And I noticed that part of the script Has never come up Yeah because it only happens At the end

And see we didn't run those lines because we just didn't reach the end of the scene. Was Megan Tung you down in the rehearsal stage? The lines. Didn't quite get to the end. No, but every time he asked me, I'm like, oh. I'm so supportive. We're for out now, Romeo.

Give us a kiss. I go, I read the thing and I'm like, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then I read the end. Also, Andrew. Yes, hello. Is there a second girl playing Juliet that you also have to practice smooch with? Look, so there might be.

How many are there? There's two Julietts, because it's quite a big show. It's a big thing, so they alternate, and the other Juliet, she gets one show a week. They alternate. You told me she was the understudy. He also has to kiss the production coordinator, but that's just for morale.

That's morale-based reasons. Are you tell me they alternate? Like, yeah, alternate, undercutting, minor detail sort of thing. These are the top roles, Megan. Same character, same character. Doesn't matter who's playing it. Alternating kisses. Andrew, can we pitch something?

Yes, what's up? Can we come along to one of your rehearsals and just throw some alternatives to kissing? Like maybe... Not more people, but options. Like a shucker. A shucker, a handshake, maybe at the end. Maybe Romeo could be wearing a motorcycle helmet. Guys, it's not bring your wife and mates to work day, okay?

We're trying to do a professional show here, guys. We just like our ideas better. Who knows? We haven't tested them. Some minor scripts changes. Just a little chest bump or something. Yeah, that would be great. Yeah.

That'd be great. Also, is this like that time you had to kiss Evita, and you told me it was just a kiss, and then there was a butt grab involved as well. You got gropey? That was all Andrew. Yeah, that was. I don't know what this.

I don't know. Maybe Romeo motorboats Juliet at the end. Donno, mate. We're in this together, please. If I'm going down, you're going down too. Oh, geez, we've got some suggestions. 4-48-7. We're all laughing now.

We are all laughing. We're trying to find a safe alternative so me you can go along and enjoy the show and Andrew can keep his marriage in. Can we bring back COVID? That's all I'm saying. We'll do that later on Thursday. We'll hopefully pop along and see Andrew. Good luck rehearsing.

Cheers, guys. I'm just heading in now. not doing any kiss things today. Final scene happening today. We'll find out. It's 8.58 on that. John O'Bin and Megan. The podcast. The Hats.

Speaking of beauty products. I'm actually, I didn't ever think I would tell anyone this, but it's quite... Welcome to Radio. It's quite funny. There's something I've wanted to do beauty-wise for a while, and I don't know what

possessed me to do it, but I did it at 10pm at the weekend. Everyone had gone to be Running a wild regime at the moment you are I know You're all over the place No 10pm doesn't seem like a great time

To make any decisions I think there'd been a couple of whiskeys too Not good Not good decision making And on debut too With this particular Yeah right So

I I shaved My face Oh did you Got the old Gillette out Did you go the triple blade Or the four blade The nine blades

So smirking I So in the girl world, we call it dermapaining. It's just shaving your face. Yeah, because I've got like some big hairs that come out. Listen, it's all natural. Beauty to me is such a funny concept of, you know, we spend so long ripping, plucking, waxing stuff that's perfectly natural. You know?

Yeah. I mean, if you want to come to work with a moustache, you do it. We're not going to judge you. No, you have to tell me if I have a moustache. Because I've been, I've been, I definitely won't. I definitely, will you be doing that, Ben? No, probably don't. Not to your face.

I've seen that. Not to your mustache face. We'll call you like Ned Flanders behind your back and stuff. At least call me to my face. But it also, people say it's good to get, make it, your makeup stays on better if you don't have all their fluff on your face. Right. So at 10pm, in the weekend, I was like, I'm going to do it.

So do you shave, sorry, but like a guy would shave with a razor. Well, you have. These like, there's like stick. What do you call them? It's like a stick with like a blade on it. It's like a singular blade. But here's a hack. Producer Grace, our shaving expert,

joining us in the studio. Thank you, Grace. I did float the idea with Grace and she was like, yeah, do it. And so here's a hack. For some reason, the boy ones, like the moustache trimmers and the beard trimmers are cheaper than the girl ones. Classic. So I stole one of my husband's ones in the drawer.

And I was like, here we go. So I just like, I'd had a shower, just like started hacking away. And I was like, wow, it's so fluffy. There's so much coming off. Like, there was a lot of bum fluff on my face. And it felt smooth. And I was like, I've nailed this. Great.

The next day, my whole face was burning red. Oh, you have a shaving rash. Did you? Did you just get the body after shave on? It was burning. And I went in the shower and I was like, ah! Like, it was so sore and itchy and rashy. And then I said, I'd see to grass.

I'm like, I'm never doing that again. And she's informed me that I'm supposed to use like a cream or like. Oh, you meant to put the old, yeah, foaming cream on too. No, I asked her, I was like, did you use an oil or a moisturiser? And Megan's face was the funniest. She was like, what? And I was like, did you just dry shave? Yeah, savage.

But I can't, there's no way I can stand in front of the mirror and put shaving cream. No, I don't use shaving cream. Megan, for us, we don't use shaving cream. I can imagine for you there would be a little degrading and blaming a whole. And putting it on my top lip too I'll just be like Oh yeah I get it I get it

Well Megan listen You're beautiful no matter what they say Just remember words Won't bring you down Yeah she's such She has lovely 5 o'clock shadow now No you don't No at least Ben's honest

You'll turn the mics off and be like All right Tom's Sally Yeah John O'Bin and Megan The podcast The hits Look there's a lot going on in the world and having a five-year-old who's just kind of starting to understand, you know, the news and stuff,

he sees and hears things about, you know, petrol prices and everything at the moment. What's best you feeling about the petrol prices at five years old? Is it a concern? Well, he's just like, oh, well, you just filled up the other day. I'm like, I know, but then we use the car and then we need to put the, you know, God, you get sick of asking, I mean, replying to why, but then I always try to. But do you know I've come up this great response to why for everything? I'm like, why do you think?

Oh, you throw it back. Yeah, that's smart. And then what, do they actually come back with anything or it shuts down the conversation? No, it shuts down the conversation. He's like, oh, yeah, I don't know. He's like, oh, yeah, I don't know. What do you say it? What do you think?

Do you say it like? No, I'm like, why do you think? Oh, yeah, good. Good reverse psychology there. Yeah, that's smart, actually. Yeah, it's good stuff. But he was watching the news and it was talking about money and the price of everything and all above his head.

But he started talking about. how he knows that some people are finding it hard to buy groceries. And I was like, oh, that's so sweet. He starts trying to delve in to economics. And that's when I started recording him. Good. Now, he's going to learn. See how they're all about living with a radio host, Basty, too,

is they're going to record everything, all right? That's another life lesson. Where this goes with mum and dad is quite funny. So does everyone have enough money for groceries? We do. Because you make money to buy stuff. You keep on getting money when you work. Yeah.

What does Daddy do all day? Just go to the... and do your rehearsal. But you don't get any money. Do I not get paid for my show? No. I do get paid for my show. Why?

It's a job. Do you think Daddy just goes to the gym and sings? Yeah. Sweet gig. Yeah, it's just... You tell you wanted to say go to the gym and he sort of backs out of it just... He just go to the gym and he's definitely wanted to say gym. Those pecks aren't going to build themselves, Bastie.

I was buying Andrew to go to the gym though, are they? Just in case you don't know, he's doing a show, isn't he? Andrew, yes. He's doing Andrew Liette. Paid one too, just so he wanted everyone to know. He should pay for that one. I was like, yeah, no, Daddy just sings and dances and goes to the gym. Sometimes he doesn't get paid, though.

Yeah, he's right. Yeah, but he was like, yeah, Mommy makes the money. I was like, you know it, baby. You know it. A little patronising for Paul Bastie too, wasn't it? Just do your little singing. You're your little hobby? You go to the Jimmy Reown then?

What's Daddy doing? It is humbling when they do describe what you do for a job and stuff like that. You're like, oh God. I know, I won't be long. I'll be like, you just like talk rubbish all day. Yeah, we do. Wait till they find out, Megan. That'll be a humbling day.

John O'Bin and Megan. The podcast. The hits. Now, I've got a five-year-old. Just started school this year, my son. And so I'm new to all the school stuff. It's a swift learning curve, but I got told off. And it was by one of the teachers, and it was in front of lots of people, like in front of other parents.

And I was like, oh my God, I'm trying to like be cool. I'm trying to blend in with the moms. Adults aren't meant to get told off. No. I don't know how to take it. So, you know, the school drop off. There's cars everywhere. And I found a park on the other side of the road that I was on.

And I was like, I can get in there. I can parallel park that. So I did a three point turn. And I pulled into a drive. way and then I backed out, parked perfectly. It was a perfect parallel park. I walked out. Stop breaking about your parallel parking.

I'm really good at it. Real good at it. So I pulled, I got out of the car with both my kids and we're walking down and one of the teachers was like, can I just stop you there? I was like, oh no, what? Can I have a quiet word? You have a quiet word. It wasn't that quiet.

She was like, please don't do a three point turn into the driveway. There's kids walking down there. You need to drive all the way down. and turn around and come back. It was a you should know better. Yeah. Yeah. You should know better.

And she's right. Like there's kids walking everywhere, but I wasn't going to hit one. I was looking. It's always a good day when you don't. Yeah. Well, mine were in the car, so I wasn't going to hit them. But I just crumbled. And I was like, yeah, sure, yeah.

Oh, I know. And you get all hot. You get all hot. You know when it's turning red. And other people looking at you. I know. As soon as a teacher talks to you and a stern voice. Everyone's looking like,

ha ha ha. I had it at the old school, the primary school that the kids were, and I parked in a place that I shouldn't be, and I've got the teacher on the megaphone. Oh, no! And guess the kicker is, it was my wife, because she was a teacher at the school. Did she not know it was you? You had a card park, well she did, I couldn't park there.

Yeah, card park there. Because she was doing road patrol, I was a teacher. Purely, when you're in those school, her school grounds, it's purely professional. I was under her jurisdiction. Your whole family is just out to embarrass each other, eh?

I was like, oh no, I'm getting yelled at. And then I was like, this is my wife on a megaphone. Did she take that home too and yell at you at home? So I had to move from the yellow lines and then carry on. Did you? Well, you're not wrong. They're yellow lines. I know.

She was right. Thank you, man. I have no connection with. John O, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits. Megan, you had a Jono moment. I did yesterday.

I was sitting in my car. I was, you'd be proud of me. I was going to say you'd be proud of me because I was sitting outside. a mall, but I did actually go into the mall eventually. But I was sitting outside in my car and I had my feet up on the dashboard. I was chilling. And this man walks past

and he looked and then he did like a double take. And then he started walking over to the car and I was like, oh, he's going to tell me off for putting my feet up on the dashboard or something. Yeah. So I opened the door and he said hi, I'm so sorry.

I just want to tell you you have a really confident face. And I was like, A confident face. Oh, I was like, oh, thank you. And he said... Resting confident face. I've 100% never had that before. I've never had that.

And he said that I'm a blessed person. And that's when he started to tell me that he is a face reader. And that's what he does, like, for a job. He reads faces. He reads faces. What? That's his full-time vocation. Well, I didn't get into whether it was full-time or not.

I was selfish and I wanted to know. what he thought of me. Yeah. But he, I didn't request it. He just started telling me all these things about my life. Is this sort of in the same realm as a palm reader? Yeah, I guess so.

But just looking at your fine lines and wrinkles and deciding, not that you have any megan, not that you have any fine lines and wrinkles. But he said, look, I just walked past and I saw you and I just wanted to tell you are a confident person, but you're a bit lazy. This is what he's saying. Someone you've never met before.

Oh, no. Well, you did have your feet up. on the day. Yeah, well, that's true. That's true. Sitting in your car, he's like, what is she doing? She'll be at work. She'd be in the mall.

What's she doing? He said, I have a lot to give in this life. If I could stop being lazy and I need to start a business and I need to focus on something to do with the letter R in this business. And I was like, what is Rage out? What's all we hear it? Rage out. Radio.

Oh, yeah. He said, what do I do for a job? And I said radio. And he said, I want me to get out of that and start my own business. And I was like, yeah. You're right. I am lazy. Roadworking? Well, yeah, I don't know.

I was like, well, Liam Lawson races for racing balls. That's all I thought. Yes. Yeah, they're keeping a distance between you and Liam Lawson. I don't think racing balls are hiring you or so. He finished by saying, and how is your relationship on the day that I was, I was literally waiting to pick up my husband? I was like, it's fine. And he went, okay, okay.

Wow. And I was like, wait, is there more? I felt like there was more. for a face reader he really did deep time and he got him quite nosy to pull something from the face and like to hit me with the lazy stuff I would have thought he would just stick to the positives

I was like oh okay but I did feel very taken back and he didn't charge you for the face reading as well he was like I just wanted to let you know but confident face confident face confident face but confident face but your relationship's in trouble you need to get a new job

and you're lazy Keep up that confidence John O'Benn and Megan The podcast The Hats Megan speaking of beautiful humans Liam Morrison is a huge

when you were doing radio yeah oh no absolutely um but I am part of a few group chats that pop off when the races are on so on my laptop I can see a preview of all my texts so while the show's on I'm like, well, I don't want to know. I don't want anyone to spoil it. So I put a little tissue over the top right of my computer. So I didn't see the previews of the text. It was like a small little tiny paper blanket for the computer screen, wasn't it? When I was flustered, there was a lot going on.

And it wasn't until Troy afterwards was like, couldn't you just put your computer on, do not disturb. Could have done that. But yeah. Could have. A cute little bit of tissue thing kind of works. Draping a snot rag over it was probably the most logical solution I would have thought in this day and,

age of technology. Yeah. Right. I thought you did a good job during the radio show. Like, I think it was, it was fun. But after the radio show, we had meetings, embrace it. We just, you weren't, yeah, you were like headphones on, looking at the thing. I was dialed in.

We lost you. We lost you for like. Well, I figured if you needed me, you yelled at me. You're definitely not there for the last hour and a half. I know, I could see you all laughing and looking at me at some point. I'm like, oh, that must have been some joke. I'm all right. I was just brainstorming work stuff, but that's fun.

Just doing obligations of the job. job. I could have, you know, just watched it when you got home. But hey, this is an Iheart radio podcast as part of the company. Yeah, I'll get that. The radio show is fish. But you weren't doing it directly after the... Anyway, that's fine.

Just like, where you could have... So, did anyone spoil the race for you with your system of putting a tissue over the computer screen? Yeah, because I didn't factor in when I went to the toilet, all of the TV screens out here had all the results playing on it. So I did actually see who won before the end of the race. Do you know, speaking of pretext? Speaking of putting things over your laptop camera

Terrible Someone really got in my head And said, you know The camera can see everything at all times Only if they're little lights on Yeah So my work mate was like all the time I have something draped over the camera

Every time he's using his computer He just doesn't want to be seen Right You do see those people who have tape over their camera You'd be a tape over your camera guy Ben I don't have tape over camera Oh no he doesn't No

I don't really use any of the you know like yeah i would have thought johnno would have been the tape over the camera guy but yeah no this uh he really got in some way here with your tinfoil hat I'm always yeah I don't you sorry for the reason of always always listening and always you know

I don't even my phone always listening to me it's not Siri that does that your phone will listen to you regardless he's got to listen to his own inner thoughts that's enough let alone the phone
