The John O'Ben and Megan podcast, thanks to Dilma. Goodness really does taste great. Dilma, making the world a better tea. This morning, we're coming to you live from Rage Out. It's a rage room, a smash room, lets you smash destroy, invent your frustrations without judgment. That's what they claim to do. And we're going to put that to the test this morning,

where there's been some tension on the show behind the scenes. Yeah, Megan and producer Grace, been back and forth like a couple of bickering sisters. Yeah. And we've had word from the exec, the board, Stephen Joyce Chairman, he said you need to put this to bed. Have you? Ugly scenes, yeah.

So we're doing this on behalf of the company and on behalf of your relationship too between you and Grace as well. We're just like two little dogs at a dog park. You know, like we play, but we also scrap. A bit of a peacekeeping mission this morning. So what happens beyond this? Because, you know, there's going to be a lot of anger and frustration let out this morning. What happens if nothing changes in the studio bed?

Over to you. Yeah, well, I guess... I hope that doesn't happen. I mean, I hadn't thought of a plan B this morning. I just thought we'd bring you along here. We're looking this morning at the different rooms here. But you're quite excited about this. There's a room that's full of old equipment, sort of technology.

You've got some TVs, computers, fax machines. There's a room that's full of sort of glass and crockery that you can smash stuff out. There's Jono right now there. So I went in there. My first thought was, okay, they haven't done enough damage. to the car. So I'm going to... Oh, and there's two cars as well. That's what I was about to get to. There's two cars as well. I'm going to absolutely nail it. But like this is my... This is a dream for me.

Because usually when I see like beautiful things, I often get the urge to smash them. Like a beautiful cake. I just want to punch it. Oh, well, there you go. This is perfect for you. Yeah. The problem this rage room has that they made a rod for their own back is you're like, what is smashable? Yeah. And what is not? I mean, we've got a fridge there full of drinks. Not smashable. I think generally out in this area. There's an iPad and Efloss machine.

Yeah, I think that they want to keep that sort of stuff. The windows. They go out onto the street. Again, I don't, no, I think that they want to keep those intact. But if you go to the rooms, yeah, then you can smash away. I'll tell you what we should do. We'll do this during the ads. We'll take a video and put it up on the Hitspreface,

a bit of a tour of the rage room that you can look at. Yeah. So you can see where we're at this morning. And we want to smash some stuff for you guys as well this morning. You know, maybe there's, you know, things that are frustrating you in your life, that where you can give us a call, get that off your chest, and we can smash some things for you on your behalf. Do you know what?

I want to throw up something glass and try and smack it with the sea chamber because even if you miss it, it'll smash on the floor. There's cricket bats as well. It's one time you might be grabbing a cricket bat and trying to hit some stuff. John O'Benn and Megan. The podcast.

The heads. You're on the heads. John O'Ben and Megan. It is 617. On a Tuesday morning, thank you so much for hanging out with us. We're excited about the Football World Cup. New Zealand's got our first game today. Iran.

Not paying that much Iran, which I think we're paying like $4 in Iran, just over a dollar. So we're not the, I thought we'd be the favour. We're ranked in the 80s. We're ranked in the 20s. Yeah, I think if not the lowest team in the world. But it's right. Hey, you never know.

It's football. Like I said earlier, all we need is one goal. And they've got some other stuff going on too. So they might be distracted. You know, we can take advantage of that. Their mind might not be on the game. So the New Zealand Herald Daily Quiz. We're live from Rage Out this morning, the Rage Room.

Producer Grace, our Quiz Queen and Megan, are going to be settling their differences, smashing stuff later on. We're currently sharing a mic, so we're very civil right now, but I think we're going to get really beefy. I'll throw your eyes at me. Actually, it already started getting beefy. I was like, oh, just shush, give me the mic.

It's really tempting to smash stuff, but I know we just don't want four hours of smashing and raging, you know, so you're really got to control yourself. Well, maybe if we really do you. do bad in the herald quiz we can do a smashing all right okay question number one what was the name of the doll that was launched in 1964 as barbie's younger sister Chelsea Stacy or skipper Skipper Lock in skipper Skipper is correct because I'm a girl okay we can play with Barbies sorry but let's not stereotype who plays with Barbies it's 3 26 Megan yeah true yeah but

Where in the human body are the scaphoid, trapezoid, and lunate bones located. The wrists, the pelvis, the skull. Trapoid? Or did you say the trapezoids? The what?

Question number three. Which European country was bailed out by the IMF and EU in 2013 to the tune of 10 billion euros? Was it Portable, Greece or Cyprus? Portable. Portable. Don't start racking her up now, Megan. Oh, wait, hang on, okay? Pleary your time to rage out soon, all right.

What you go on? Geez, I've got no idea who bailed out. No. Should we lifeline out? Not across the international economic affairs, particularly in Europe. So 4-487 on the text, if you can help us out. This is going to be our lifeline this morning for the New Zealand Herald Daily Quiz Stumped on what?

Number three. Dare I say, can you ask that question again? Sorry? It was which European country was bailed out to the tune of $10 billion. is Portugal, Greece or Cyprus. That's a hell of an IOU, isn't it? Was it Greece? Well, we've had two texts come through.

One saying Greece, one saying Cyprus straight away. So... Didn't Greece have like economic meltdown? What year was it? 2013. I think it was Greece. Okay, let's lock in Greece. Oh God.

Yeah, lock in Greece. Greece isn't correct. Oh, Chris! Oh! I was really sure, too. Yeah. Do you want to go and smash it? Okay, let's do that next

Yeah Okay, and you, if you want us to smash something for you You can text us through 4487 Oh 100 the hits Tell us what's going on So a little frustration in your life And then we can smash something on your behalf You can tell us what you want us to smash

Rattle with the They sat on the stairs, stay, leave. The cabinets are bare, and I'm unaware of just that we got into this mess. Got so aggressive. I know we men, all good intentions. So pull me cut. John O'Benn and Megan. The podcast.

The heads. I'm out this morning. I sat there looking at Megan, who is wearing overalls and has a sledgehammer over her shoulders right now. Megan, I'm a little frightened. It's actually so heavy. I have to put it over my shoulder to hold it. You know what I appreciate, too, the overalls that Megan's put on. The crotch is hanging down below her knees.

Yeah, well, the first pair were like very, very tight and constricting. She's gone for the largest pair now. But now I look like cute, like it's like a baggy fit, you know? I tried to make it cute. I've rolled the sleeves up. Everything doesn't have to be cute. Remember last week you're in the dentist? You know, a little bit of cute fillings.

Cute ginger vines. Like you're in some grottie old man, sweety old overalls right now. They definitely watch them. So you're going to smash some stuff for some punters who have been texting in 4487. Thank you so much. A lot of people need to get rage out this morning. And the ultimate goal this morning, too, is to broker a peace deal between producer grace and Megan, which we're going to be doing after 8 o'clock.

Yeah, but right now we're going to let Megan loose in the rage room. It's a great way to relieve your stress right now. As we said before, there are three different rooms, and we can smash some stuff on your behalf. What's on the text machine? First here is from Pearl. I'm working with an 85-year-old. who has no sense of health and safety for two weeks. Please smash something for me.

All right, Megan's going to smash the car. There's two cars there. Oh, there we go, Pearl. This is an attack on the BMW, which has had some severe panel damage. Oh, Megan, yeah. Oh! I don't know if you're getting insurance for that one.

This is definitely, my husband's been away for six weeks, and I've been looking after the kid's anger, right? It's coming out right now. That's not Andrew's car, Megan. You know what you don't factor in with sledgehammer is the amount of cardio that's involved too. They're quite heavy. They are quite heavy. You can tell that she's struggling.

So all right, we'll get her into another room. Do you want to go inside this sort of crockery room here and maybe smash them stuff? We've got another text there. Your morning guys, can you please destroy something on my behalf? All this week I have to do school drop-offs and every time I've done it, they leave shoes behind, kids cry and lunchboxes get left in the kitchen. Can you please do some rage out for me? For it, Megan. This is the crockery room. It's essentially a giant cupboard full of smashed plates. Oh, you've got some brand new plates there too, Ben.

I'm scared to come in the room. Here you go, Megan. Here's it. Come on new plates, fresh plates. Okay, okay. Here's Megan. And can you smash your TV screen for me on 4487 says this text? All right, Megan, one more smashing. You've got to come this way. We've got a TV, we've got a TV smash. Okay, calm down. This is from Chris who says he has to do. deal with spreadsheets all day in the office. Okay, this is for Chris. You've got a TV in there. You can go...

Okay, she's in there. Working up a little sweaty hue there in those overall. It's not very breathable. All right, Megan is got TV. This is the 42-inch flat screen TV for Chris. Spreadsheets for Chris. What do you want to say to those spreadsheets? Suck it, spreadsheets. Is that what you say?

Yeah, something like that. Oh, there we go. John O'Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits. You this morning from Rage Out. rage room you can relieve your stress by breaking some stuff and we're doing some stress relief on your behalf 4487 on the text what do you want us to relieve in your life someone's saying they're putting up with the toxic worker at the moment signing signed off

apprenticeship last month but now using up all their sick leave and they're thinking of leaving so john we need to is this for the toxic worker yeah this is for them all right the toxic worker you're not even sick you just threw a bowl at the wall and i i don't think it It wasn't that satisfying. No, I'm sorry. It sounded a little bit like, oh, it didn't quite far. I'm completely misfired for the toxic worker there. Okay, here we go.

This is for the toxic worker. Ah, there you go. That sounds a lot better. Okay, now he's got a bit far. You already see another side of everyone today, hey, when they really get caught up in the rage out rage out. You're saying so much cardiovascular requires. And that sledgehammer is so heavy.

Like, I went a little crazy, a little bit of wee came out. So last night I went to. Thank God you got the overalls on. A little wee club, her. It was back in action this morning. Girls know. Last night I had a Monday night dance comp that I had to go to. Oh, what's your preferred dance?

I'd like to do a bit of lyrical. Yeah. I like to delve into a little bit of lyrical. But there was a security guard there who was checking tickets on the way in and he said, can I say you guys in your TV show, you inspired me to a life of pranking. Oh, okay. I would say late 30s, 40s, this guy. He's taking pranking to the next level.

Oh, right. I guess there was a ours was just for entertainment and content this is personal so him and his mate go back and forth he's like he got a brand new Porsche oh wow two weeks later two weeks later I bought a glitter bomb from China

and I set it off inside his Porsche he's like still got glitter everywhere all these years later and then so as revenge his mate woke him up stripped him butt naked but naked took him out on a boat put him in a shark cage

while he was naked. Towed him 150 metres away from the boat and tied him to the boat and he was just floating in the ocean, naked. I feel like he could have got out of that at some point, surely. Potentially, yeah. Wow, okay. And then he's like, guess what I've just ordered?

I don't know with you, mate. This is going to end really badly. He said, I've just got $350 worth of itching powder shipping to New Zealand. And he's going to put it in like a cannon, like the flower can of him. And he's going to explode it all over his mate when he's sleeping all over his head.

Well, they have really taken, yeah. taking it to the next level, haven't they? And then some, really. They don't have partners, surely. It didn't scream. Didn't scream. What partner's going to put up with that? Yeah, being bombed in the bed with itching powder.

I mean, that's either going to end in prison or on the news of that relationship. Hey, after 7 o'clock, we want to talk about the most expensive thing that you've broken because today we get to break some stuff, don't we? I just smashed a TV. Yeah, like a TV. That's a big one. Back of the day that TV would have we worth thousands, eh? Is that a 45-inch movie?

Yeah, that was probably a $10,000 TV, you're right? Yeah, back of the guy, yeah. I feel great, though. Yeah. I feel so good. So how do you, because the reason we are here, the core reason is producer grace and yourself, trying to settle your differences. Do you think this is going to work?

I actually think it might. Grace hasn't had a chance to smash anything yet, but look, it's like, it's liberating. John O'Benn and Megan, the podcast. The Hits. I feel like that should be the theme song for our round. I don't really have to focus on theme songs at the moment. No, no, they're focused on tournament play. No, boy, you're focused on the prediction baby that we've got,

the betting baby, who we got earlier to pick the result. We're holding up two toys in front of a little cute, sweet little baby. This is what the baby predicted. We're about to let him go. Okay, the betting baby. Three, two, one. Go on that. Oh!

He's got the car. The red car. Well, it's a predicted win for New Zealand, right? So Arthur, the cute little baby predicting New Zealand, we'll find out for the babies right later on today. Going against the odds. Yeah, $4 something in New Zealand's paying in Iran's a dollar something. So if Arthur comes through, he's going to make a lot of people very wealthy.

Now, this morning we are at Rage Yard. It's a Rage Room, multiple rage rooms, so you can relieve some stress, break some stuff. And because we are breaking things, you know, things that were once upon a time, quite expensive items. So we wanted to know on, oh, Android the hits, 4487, the most expensive thing that you've broken. Yeah, we've got cars in here, we've got laptops,

we've got a lot of computer screens and things like that. Have you broken something expensive by accident? Yeah, not stuff that I've admitted publicly. Oh, radio equipment? No, more like stuff at my parents' house. There was a hole in the wall, which I've always denied. Yeah. Hopefully they're not listening.

They don't live within me anymore. They've gone home, so I can ignore them. calls. I did that too of my friend Jason Toyolungi at his house. We broke his mum's vase and then we tried to glue it together with PVA glue. Like she would notice. Yeah. There's so much optimism when you that age. You think PVA

will fit everything. A lot of stuff happens in your teenage years but then for us I guess a lot of stuff happened when we had the TV show. There was a lot of stuff. Did one of you do his car? But also yeah, the digger through the house that Jono did which is a well-publicized story but yeah your car is sort of this classic car that was a beautiful old car but it took a bit of a

hammering, didn't it? It did, yeah, it was kind of the butt of all the punchline pranks on the show. And I remember once producing you in cricket gear and having a, like, a cricket ball bowling machine. And so your job was to defend the balls from hitting your car. And we're, you know, we're a TV show that we were doing a silly thing, but we also were on a budget. Budget conscious. So we talked to, you know, we're talking to the producer beforehand. This was I was talking to going, well, okay, well, what can we afford to replace later? It's like, oh, if you get one window, that'd be good.

One door, one door. One door. So one door, one door. I'm like, okay. Okay, the first one, you missed, and it had directly. Well, basically in the bit between the doors. The two panels. The two panels. The two doors.

The first shot. And it wasn't even that cool. It was just like, Duke. It was like, oh, there's two doors. We couldn't even use it from TV. No. It was a really disappointing way to go, oh, now we have to pay for two doors, because the first one's hit the edge of both the doors in the middle there.

But it didn't even look that cool. And then you ruined it. I think that car honestly got painted four times. Yeah. Four different paint jobs. What happened to it in the end? I sold it. It's here today.

It's here today. You can deal to it after 8 o'clock. John O'Ben and Megan, the podcast. The Harts. You can relieve some stress. We're doing it this morning to, well, you know, tensions have been boiling over from behind the scenes onto the airways between, particularly Megan and producer Grace.

So after 8 o'clock this morning, they're going to settle it by smashing some stuff and feeling a lot better. Ironically, they're quite docile this morning. No, they're fine, actually. Actually, yeah. Well, I've already smashing things, and it is genuinely really therapeutic. like I feel pretty chill. Yeah, you can come along,

you can bring your friends, family, or workmates along here to rage out. A genius idea. So, 0800, this is what we're opening up. Most expensive thing you've broken. You can text 24-487 because what do we got? We've got a BMW here that is up for smashing. Flat screen TVs, computer screens,

photocopiers, a lot of expensive equipment in here. We can be smashing. Or is that just the office? Yeah, I'm not sure. They've kind of left us to it, which is a little worrying if you're in charge of rage. out. Hopefully we're smashing the right things this morning. But Joel joins us on 0800 at the Hats. Good morning.

Good morning. How are we? Good, Joel. Lovely to have you on. Now, do you want us to smash something for you, Joel? I'd love you to smash something for me, please. Okay. What's winding you up, Joel? Other than my partner, just car issue, basically. Here we go, Joel. It's for you, Joel. Now, what is the most expensive item that you've smashed? You know those Friday jobs, the last thing you have to? to do before you go home from work?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was one of those. There were a couple of pellets of bear sitting across the loading dock that needed just moving from sort of A to B. And jump on the forklift and it's like, well, I can do these one by one, which is the safe way of doing it,

and then I can go home. Or I can save me about 30 seconds. Tell me that it had the wrap around it, though. It still had the wrap around it, but the two pellets weren't wrapped together. They were just sat on top of each other. Is it going where I thought it's going? Absolute sideways and the most terrifying noise you've ever heard.

Oh, gosh. So both pellets smashed. Both pellets smashed, about halfway across the loading dock. You just see it going sideways and just time slows down. Did you like walk away and pretend it wasn't you? No, there were too many people there that heard the noise and came running to investigate for me to pull that one off. Oh, and so was it expensive alcohol? Export gold, so nothing great was lost, but the dollar value was still...

If anything, you did people a favour. Yes, I don't know. I like that at all. I don't know. I like Xboxball. I just roll it with the gags. Joel, we appreciate you sharing that very hard story to bring back up for us this morning. Thanks so much. Not a problem.

Appreciate your team. Have a good one. Thank you. Have a great day. James, morning to you. Happy New Year. James. James?

Yeah, hello. Hey, mate. What was the most expensive thing that you smashed? Oh, I didn't smash it, but I was going on a tractor, and the full front wheels snapped off, and I was feeding my cows, and it fully snapped off. Both the front wheels came off? Yeah, the front wheel just snapped off, please.

And I don't know how the hell it happened, and it was crooked scary. Bucket full of food. Oh, bucket full of food. He said bucket full of food. Is it one of those tractors, like, with the huge tire on the side of it? Yes. Oh, James.

Oh, God. That must have wound up. Would you like to let out some frustration, James? Shall I smash something for you? 100%. Smash something for James right now. Here we go. Here's some crockery for you, James.

Oh. God, I complain when I have to replace a tire on my car. Yeah, that's tractor tie that's not sound cheap as well. Hey, James, thank you for sharing that with us this morning. Appreciate it. John O'Benn and Megan. The podcast. The Hats.

Sorting producer Grace and Megan's differences out after 8 o'clock this morning where they can just attack anything with a sledgehammer. Except for each other. That's the one rule. It's the main rule. They're going to be relieving themselves of stress this morning. Over the last few days, it's just an odour, been brewing in the house. And you know, you try and ignore it for the first couple of days and pretend it's not a thing. But then it just becomes so sort of

pungent that you can't. Where was it most pungent? It's a person, it's not you, is it? What sort of odour we're talking about in the house? Have you showered? Following me around everywhere I go. Not a personal hygiene-based soda. Sort of a decomposing.

Oh, no. In the past, I've had them in the attic, you know, and you sort of go in there praying that you don't find it, but also there's part of you that needs to eliminate the odour because we had like an ear system just, Humping death, the smell of death through the house from the attic. So I didn't want that to happen again, but I tracked it to underneath the house. Have you crawled under a house lately?

Not lately, but it's not. Yeah. There's so many, like, things that touch you, and you're like, what was that? Everything you touch, you think it's like a, yeah. And we live in a pretty lucky country, too. Like, imagine doing that in Australia. Australia. Oh, you wouldn't.

You wouldn't. Imagine going, I'm just going to go check under the house. You'd be like, uh, uh, uh, uh, you know, like. Anything long and thin, you're like, uh, uh, uh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I did that thing where I was crawling around on hands and knees, making unhuman, like, noises, everything that just grazed my elbow or hand.

And if you come out with a cobweb on you, like, for the next half an hour, you're like, spires on me, smothers on it, you know? Like, where is it gone? We are, I've just realised we are not fit for proper jobs. No. You know, if radio ends, when radio ends, what are we going to do? We are not going to have any skills to function in the real world. But then I was, I kind of just crawled around on the house.

prayed that I didn't actually find what was making the smell. So I went back out there and I was like, couldn't find anything. Looked everywhere. Touched everything? Nothing. Nothing? So, yeah, this morning still was even worse, day five. Oh, so you still have it found it?

No, you can get a, we had an exterminator come once and he's like, listen, just ride it out. Seven days, if you can ride it out for seven days, it starts to fade away. So that's the theory. Does it like mummify? Yeah, eventually. We've all found rats, right, that have been dead a very long time. If you can put up with the decomposing order for seven days, seven days, you know, in a lifetime, not much. That's true, yeah.

But, like, you keep that with you. No one's put up a missing poster for a pet. Oh. I had to go dark. Don't go there. I'm just saying. I always think because I like, I watched a lot of serial murder of documentaries. Yeah.

And you're like, that clown guy, John Wayne Gasing. Yeah. He had a whole operation going on under his house. It must have been an absolute nightmare for the neighbours. You can imagine it. Yeah, true. All right. We're going to move on from this.

We're not crawling into gasey's mouth. We're getting in some dark areas this morning. John O'Ben and Megan. The podcast. The Hits. Would you do this if it was two men settling their differences? Reads the text. Probably.

I suspect not. It reads this text, Ben. They suspect not. It wouldn't interest your audience. Stop with the sexism. Stop with the stereotypes, Ben. Oh. Yeah.

That's what they're saying. On behalf of them, can I rage out for them? Yeah, let's do it. This is for sexism. The rampant sexism on this program. Oh, that's good. There goes a laptop screen and the key board. Wow.

You also hit the microphone. What's impressive is that sledgehammer is actually weighs twice the amount that Ben weighs too. He's really doing a good job with his core strength there. I would have thought this would make us sound strong and not like meek women. It's a good workout. Can I straight, mass, um, Smash something personal. This is a laptop computer, my old one, that I gave to my daughter,

and in the middle of an exam, it stopped working for it, and she had to write the exam by hand. Oh, this is the Dell, okay. I'd like to smash that this morning. This is personal. I'll read this out, but this can be for Jacks, who's very stressed about a bill from a mechanic that just came through yesterday. There you go, Jacks.

Wow. Goodbye to the Dell. Adele is gone. Hello from the other side. So keep the text coming through if you'd like us to relieve some stress for you this morning. Life sucks big time at the moment, says Debbie and Haldensville. Please just smash something for Debs, Ben. Why not the crockery?

Hit the crockery room, baby. Okay, crockery room. Here we go. Here we go. It's essentially a giant cupboard. Just floor halfway up the wall filled with broken bits of crockery. There's a cricket bat in here too. Two of Ben's loves.

Cricket and smash crockery. Oh, that's for Kane Williamson retiring. Oh, I got it about that. All right. Do you know Kane Williamson retired, Megan? I did read that, yeah. Yeah. That's a cricket. He played cricket, eh?

He's taking out a lot of rage on Kane Williamson's retirement. So we'll leave him in there to deal with his cricket issues. Yeah, I know. I just wish you were still on the team, guys. And the Warriors lost, too, on the weekend, yeah. What was it that periore? The timer for the dropout. So we're here all morning.

Texville for 8.7 if you need us to relieve some stress for you at Rage out. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The Hats. Megan, you had a Jono moment. I did yesterday. I was sitting in my car. I was, 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 I 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 um 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 for a job. He reads faces. He reads faces. What?

That's his full-time vocation. I didn't get into whether it was full-time or not. I was selfish and I wanted to know what he thought of him. Yeah. But 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, 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, it's true. That's true. You're 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 what we hear it, rage out? Radio. Oh, yeah, he said, what do I do for a job?

And I said radio. And he told me to get out of that and start my own business. And I was like, you're all 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. And I was like, wait, is there more?

I felt like there was more. For a face reader, he really did deep time. He got him quite nosy to pull something from the, face. And to hit me with the, like, 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 your relationship's in trouble. You need to get a new job. And you're lazy. Keep up there, confidence. John O'Ben and Megan, the podcast.

The Hits. Megan and producer Grace, they have been. going at it. Off here. Hey look, we've got a guess, guys. We've got a guess. We've got a guess. Trust me during the show.

It went in one of your other. Ugly, ugly scenes. We're going to pull that down, producer Troy. We can't do that. We're moving forward to the show. Okay, that's in the past. That's in the past.

But right now, Megan, we're going to give Grace a chance to let out her stress, her anger. But also give you a chance to get some things off your chest as well too. Yeah, all right. It sounds good. So are you going to, do you know what that is?

it's a printer. Yeah, so Grace is walking into the technology room here at Rage Out. She's got a sledgehammer. Got the PPE equipment on. If you want to know what we look like, we look like health workers going into an Ebola outbreak. And Grace, the sledgehammer almost as tall as producer Grace as well. So you would like Megan to yell out some inflammatory things that will upset Grace. You can do it.

Does she have full permission to go hard? Okay, go hard from producer grace. Here we go. Okay, what's the first thing you want to yell up, Megan? How do you know she's Gen Z? How do you know she's Gen Zee? She'll tell you, I don't know what that is! It's a printer!

It's a printer, bro. You've got the attention span of a golden retriever and a tennis ball factory. What? Just smash the printer, mate. Oh, that printer has seen better days, that's for sure. Have you spent as much time producing as you do on your nails, you might actually be good at your job. Oh, that's a good one.

That's a real good one. We can see the motherboard. It's the growling at the same time. We keep saying it all morning. You don't factor in the cardio required to sledgehammer on. You're feeling better? You're feeling better at Producer Grace? Okay, Megan, what else do you want to say to her?

You're so Gen Z. You can't answer the phone. You can't spell and you think you're qualified to give me life advice. You're like literally half the age of me. Oh, jeez. Isn't it nice to have the World Cup on for football? Grace, you know, so we can watch some real football, not the Auckland FC. I don't mean that Auckland.

I actually love the organisation. I just want to wind Grace up. She's the biggest fan. Auckland's, I mean, no, England's not going to win, babes. England's not going to win. Do you just swear? Now, my only fear is that was the actual printer from the office here at Rage. Yeah, that's a problem.

It looks like a really... We'll deal with the fall out of that. What are we allowed to smash and what are we not allowed to smash? Will he producer Grace are getting a rage out of that? Just a moment, we'll get Megan into another Rage Room. There's cars. She looks like a little guinea pig. You can smash. There's crockery. There's all sorts of stuff. As you said before, it's the

Briscoe's Lady's nightmare. A whole room full of crockery as well. John O'Bin and Megan. The podcast. The Hats. Releaving some stress between Producer Grace and Megan. Things have been bubbling over, as you said a couple

of times. So we're getting it all out today at Rage Room. Yeah, giant peacekeeping mission, isn't it? Relieving ourselves and what? Have you relief I haven't so far I haven't asked where the bathrooms are

just out of the back to the right excuse but Megan well you've just thrown some shade producer Grace's way and she's feeling

a lot better aren't you? I feel so distressed I feel at peace guys you really what was a photocopy apprentice set up there

just a big office one that you just annihilated I'd say it about four hits with the sledgehammer there Grace I have

excellent sledgehammer technique because I put it out there guys excellent sledge hammer technique Megan's got the overalls on, she's got the face mask on, the gloves she's ready to go, and you've chosen a couple of...

Yeah, I'm double parked. I've got a Krober and a mini sledgehammer because the Sedgehammer is quite heavy. Yeah, it is, you're right. And I want to be able to like swing! A cute little sledgehammer, as Meehan. Okay, you've got a TV here. We're going to move into the cars as well, and then there's a crockery plate room as well. You can go nuts.

Look at that beautiful flat screen. All right, Megan. This is where we're starting. We're starting on the 42-inch flat screen. All right, okay. Okay, Producer Grace is going to yell out something to you. What are you want to say, Producer Grace? Okay, hey, Megan, Formula One is basically just watching rich people sit in their cars, but at 300 kilometers an hour of it.

Oh! Producer Grace? Okay. Favorite driver? Oh, so Megan's favorite. Also, six weeks of solo parenting built up here as well. Yeah. Are you ready for this one?

This is a good one, Megan. When I said you could be my mom, did it hurt more? Did it hurt more that nobody disagreed? that people were doing the math. She's found something on the way. I think that's the work product of here. But anyway, she's on the car now. She's on the car.

On to the silver 1996 BMW. Oh, this was Juliet. Whether to applaud or text you. He's just been in a show for six weeks, kissing Juliet on stage. Look at that car. Just get dismantled. This feels like it's one of those internet videos

where you're like, look at this ex getting revenge on their cheating partner. Okay, producer grace. Anything else? Okay. Harriet the boss has. just sent you a calendar invite to workshop the follow-up email for next week's catch-up meeting. Oh, she hates meetings. She hates emails. She also tries to get that crowbar out of the

windscreen of that car. Who hates emails? I know. And finally, one more thing. What do you want to say? Let's round it up. Okay, if Liam Lawson has been her two biggest fears, missing Liam lost Liam News or opening a work email. Oh, oh, he's not happy about that. It gets to that awkward point where you're like, when do we stop? Yeah, it's like one of those pack up yourself and go home quietly. situations, isn't it, as she carries on. Megan? I feel so good. That was exhilarating.

I'm a little scared. I got the crowbar stuck in the car and I was like, yes. Now, after all of this exercise, can we please get a handshake between the peer of you? A peacekeeping handshake. Oh, they've got a little hug as well. Beautiful scenes, touching scenes. John O'Ben and Megan, the podcast, the hits.

I don't know. I just feel like my time is, I say that to my wife. My time has been better on other things. She's like, oh, what? I don't know, but it's just not, that's not the area. Costumes. Yeah, other stuff, you know, like, and so when it comes to things like flat packs as well, I remember I said the other day, I found that you can text people online and people that love doing flat packs, and why do I deny them what, loving what they love to do? They came around and did the flat pack. I got this guy to do a whole lot of stuff a few months ago. On a Sunday morning or something, great. Was it the same guy that hung your picture frames?

No, different guy, different guy. I've got multiple guys. Flatpack guy. I've got hanging picture guy. I've got them all saved as my phone line. I've got a guy. Guys, girls, whatever. It doesn't matter. Just as long as they do a great job, and I don't have to do it. I'm happy with that. So, flat pack guy, came around a couple of months ago, did some flat packs.

So I said, Amanda, look, see, all this stuff. We didn't get stressed. We didn't get stressed. We didn't have an argument. He did all this or stuff. And then we had another flat pack in the weekend. My daughter had bought herself a desk. And I was like, well, hey, we know who we need to text.

Flatpack guy. And what was Amanda against Flatpack guy? Yeah, she's like, you could do it yourself. I'm like, my time is better spend on other things. What? I don't know yet. At the moment, I'm spending my time finding what that time is. Don't like buy into those gender stereotypes.

But I feel like I made a connection because that bad guy, he came around again, did a wonderful job as well. And there was one little other thing I forgot to ask him about. So I text him after that. I said, oh, could you come back and have a look at this other thing for me? And he came back with a, sure, you're some of the most amazing people I've met so far. Oh, my God. Definitely I can come back in and help today.

I'm like, oh my goodness, I have made a connection with Flatpack guy. Do you know his name? I was about to say, if you've made a connection with him, you might want to learn his birthday. What's he saved in your phone is? Flat Pat guy. But I'm like, we have made, I was like, oh. What did you reply? Oh my God, I feel the same.

I know. I was like, wow, well, this is really great. Imagine if you go through your whole life, never knowing his name, and you go to his funeral and you're like, Flatpack guy. We made a connection. I don't think we've actually, yeah, like we said hello, but I think we've exchanged names at all. If only he was here today, he could put his coffin together. Because I can't. My time's better spend on other things, that's for sure.

But I was like, oh, sorry, my wife. I was like, look this connection I've made. Look how sweet this is. When he calls, do you answer the phone? Well, yeah. Oh, wow. You treat him better than you treat me. Well, he hasn't called.

But if he did call, I'd definitely answer right now. Yeah, so flat-back guy and I, we've made a huge connection. And next up. John O'Benn and Megan. The podcast. The Hats. Troy, that was your voice popping up there. Troy who has fresh back at your Canterbury

born, I mean sorry Canterbury raised and you went back to introduce Neve to the Fano last weekend I did and we took her through the city we went through New Regent Street and saw the gondolas and then I took it through the Cathedral Square and we got

this lovely man come up to us and he said do you want me to take your photo in front of the spire and we're like yeah sure that'd be great and then when he took our photo he comes over to us and he's like do you want to see a magic trick oh really so he's taking a photo and then wants to show you a magic trick. Yeah, and he pulls out these red and blue cards, and he's like, which one's bigger?

And we're like, okay, it's obviously the red one. And then he switches them around all of a sudden, the blue one's bigger. We're like, wow, that was amazing. So it's like an optical illusion? It was an optical illusion, yeah. And he goes, that was the million dollar question. And he pulls out this one million dollar Kiwi bank note fake and gives it to us. Thank you for clarifying that.

Yeah, I was like, well, I haven't heard of that, but I don't move in million-dollar note circles. So I was like, maybe they do, maybe they do have one of those. I have to ask the guy some Zuru. They're just wandering around the cathedral streets of Christchurch. And then he goes, you know what else is the million dollar question? What happens after we die? Now, Jesus can tell us an... Oh, long runway.

Real long runway. To the Jesus salesman. Now, he really... He did upsell you with the magic trick from the photo, didn't he? Well, he did the photo. He showed us a call magic trick. We feel like we just had to stay there and have a yarn with this guy. He had established trust at that point.

And then he betrayed that trust. And pretty quickly. And every salesperson should take note. That is how you suck someone in. Well done. That is one of the most impressive sales journeys I've ever heard. Yeah. Yeah.

A free photo. And then a magic show. Yeah. A three-pronged magic trick. And then the Jesus reveal at the end. It's funny how you got your wife, Jono. It was exactly.
