Speaker 1 (00:01):
With the John and Ben Podcast. Cheers to Dilma making
the World a bitter Tea to.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
The podcast for a Monday. It's a really fun show.
Today we've become the first show. We thought we became
the first show in the world to do something.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Today, right to play a Christmas song.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
As voted by you. We put it to the test.
It was quite mixed whether we should play a Christmas song.
You won't hear the whole song on the podcast, but
you'll hear some of that. Yeah, we thought we were
the first, but then someone just text through before and
the Philippines September the first.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
They all collectively decide that that's the date.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
Yeah, that sounds like something you'd do.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
I don't think that's too early. Yeah, So we definitely
weren't the first show in the world. Probably the first
in New Zealand, that's right.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
So we did that this morning.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
We woke up my daughter, my teenage daughter, with an
early morning phone call that I'll be hearing about later
when I get.

Speaker 3 (00:46):
Home, because you woke up your wife to do it,
worke up.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
The whole family just for a radio bat and you
have quit a traumatic weekend this weekend.

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Yeah, my dog got rushed to the emergency vet, which
I was stoked about. So stoked as you can imagine.
It was expensive. He's okay though, spoiler.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
Alert, But what did he do?

Speaker 2 (01:04):
You'll find out on the podcast Enjoy. So good morning
this morning to those in the Southern Lakes area of
New zeal Beautiful part of the country, isn't it, Queenston
or Wanica Alexandra.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Love Alexandra cold, coldest and hottest part of the country right, well, yeah,
but it's beautiful when it's like snowing in winter and
in summer. That good morning.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
I've got to experience the mount Mount Monganui over the
weekend there with the family.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
It's beautiful. Another beautiful part of the country as well. Everyone.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
I feel like you need to climb the mount. It's
something I don't know if you get kicked out of
the area. If you don't know it, you do.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
That's official. The time you go there, you're like, right,
when are we climbing the mount?

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Get up there, take yourself with just so you can
document it, so you can stay a couple of days.
But I what I noticed there was a lot of
hens parties and stakdos.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
Over the weekend.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
Oh really just a mount.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yeah, just a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Some poor guy was in some light resuit with some
sort of blow up a dole next to him, playing
guitar and as I sort have walked out and say
hey to you, you know the radio John on be
and I was like, he will help me out. First,
he wanted money. He needed to busk enough to get
a beer. Basically that was his challenge, okay, And I
was like, don't have cash, like you don't. I don't

(02:13):
have cash. My one did have cash, and my kids
didn't even have cash. No one had cash.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
And then I took him inside right and just paid
with yours.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
I should have done that, And I said to him,
I'll sing a song with you, like I'll sing a
song because he had a guitar, he had you know,
a Spandi suit on. He was obviously looking quite cold
out there, and I was like, what songs do you know?

Speaker 4 (02:32):
And he's like, I don't play guitar.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
And I was like, so yeah, hamstrung from the start.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
So I had to walk away and so go, well,
good luck with that mate, you know. And then later on.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
In the evening, it was like two hints dus in
the place we're having dinner. They're very, very lovely people,
but they had challenges to do. Yeah, right, did you
have challenges to.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
Do for my first winning Yes, I had a whole
list of things. We went out in town and like
I just slap a beer bum. I had like a
strange boy pold all that kind of stuff. But do
I reckon? The guys will do anything as soon as
they see a hen's boy come along and you've got
these random I'm like, how am I going to take
off these tasks?

Speaker 4 (03:11):
Because you want to help people out right, But first.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
Guy I asked, he's like, pants down, sleep from on
the barm. I was like, okay, guys are very obliging.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
The lady came over, she was getting married. She was like, hey,
I've got to take something off my list. She had
like a playing card with the like written on my
whole lot of those. She's like, I want to do
this one with you. I was like, oh god, my
family are here, what's going to happen? But it's actually
pretty It was pretty tame. It was like ask a guy,
like a guy you don't know what his last number
was on his phone and then you have to call it.

(03:40):
They had to hand the phone over to her, and
I was like, oh, yeah, sweet, you hear my phone
and you're like, oh God, who did I call?

Speaker 5 (03:46):
Then?

Speaker 2 (03:47):
But then I was like, oh, it's the restaurant. The
last call I made the restaurant that we were in
saying you were running like ten to fifteen minutes late.
So I was like, here the number. It's the restaurant.
So she started calling it. And then I was like, oh,
it'd be funny if I around the other side of
the restaurant and I pick up the phone. I had
a little comedy bat was, you know, because I could
talk to her for I was like, I ran around

(04:08):
and the poor lady who was behind the counter of
the restaurant had no idea what we're doing.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
I was like, is the phone ringing? Is the phone ringing?
She's like no.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
I was like, no, the phone's ringing, and I was
like ringing again, yelling to the lady. She's like, I'm
ringing again, and I was like, the phone's gonna rag.
And the lady held up the phone. She's like, it's
not ringing. It's like, I don't know what you're doing,
but it's not ragging. I was like oh, okay. I
went back to the lady. She goes, oh, no, it's
Hello Fresh. I've rang them four times, so I've been

(04:35):
talking to Hello Fresh about some stuff.

Speaker 3 (04:41):
Changed to go to HERU.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
Yeah, I was like, oh, I rag on a man
and my wife's phone and I was like, ah, that's
what I did. So anyway, it's.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
The jonaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
Pretty unsettled weak in for us.

Speaker 4 (04:52):
Oh yeah, very high drama week in right.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yeah. So I've got just to keep you up to
speed with who's in our family. We've gon three year
old and almost two year old, and we have a
little dog.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
Leading to the dog. Now you've given men ages tells
the dogs night.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
I hope we'd beople asked me that about our dog.
I love our dog and like, where's the dog? And
the kids are like you, they know who the birthday is,
they know everything.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
He's twenty third of May is his birthday. But he
might be okay, yeah, something like that. But at the weekend,
I gave my son grapes and if you have a dog,
you probably can see where this is going. But he
drops some grapes on the floor. Also, we think so
seeing your son my son bestie dropped a grape on

(05:38):
the floor, we think, so then I see my dog chewing,
so he's eaten something off the floor. And then you're
trying to get out of a three year old. Did
you drop a grape?

Speaker 4 (05:47):
Is that?

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Yeah? Did the dog eat it?

Speaker 4 (05:50):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (05:51):
Are you sure what color was the grape? It was green?
But then is he telling the truth? It's like, because grapes,
if you don't know, they're really toxic for dogs. But
the thing is people feed the dogs grapes and they're fine,
but other dogs it can be fatal and it doesn't
show up for a while. It makes him like liberal
kidneys shut down or something like that.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Dogs are very like I've got a dog, bo love
my dog, but it's very hard to know exactly what
they can or carna. Yeah, like they can have a
lot of other fruit and vegetables.

Speaker 3 (06:18):
You know.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
I had feed my dog grapes before a couple I
had a little game and I just like bounce it
off the table and he'd catch it.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
And I was like, did it once? And I to
my wife and she's like, don't do that.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
They can't eat grapes, and I was like, oh my god.
So then I had to ring their helpline, you know
the bit, and they said keep an eye on him.
Fortunately he was fine, so maybe my dog's okay.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
They said to you keep an eye on him because
we rang, and we were like what are we doing?
They said he needs to go straight away to be like,
he needs to vomit and he needs to get rid
of the grapes because it could kill him. So I
was like, oh, we sure, yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:51):
Because you don't know because it's only your son that's
seen the dog or not.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
The more I'm like, okay, bash and did he eat
the grape? He's like, yeah, you eat the grape, like
nobody's bad for him. Did he eat the grape?

Speaker 4 (07:02):
Yeah, you're like a cost mummy, like thousand dollars did
he eat the grape?

Speaker 3 (07:07):
A lot of money and it's bad for him. So
I was like getting really annoyed and upset at this moment,
and my husband's like, don't you don't get upset. He's
gonna be okay, we'll go and get him sorted. I
was like, I'm not sid about that. I'm upset about
the money. So my dogg you went in there. They
made him spew up, and then I was like to
the nurses. Did you see a grape? Was there a grape?

(07:27):
It could have disintegrated, So we still don't know.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
You want to know, you want to have that grape
three hundred.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
And eighty dollars later just to make him spew. It's like, oh,
I hope he hate that grape. He's fine.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Chocolate cakes the other one, though, I get that the
dogs can't eat chocolate.

Speaker 4 (07:42):
It's like, what, why is it messed with this system?

Speaker 2 (07:45):
I mean, I see the things my dog has eaten
and puts his fade all sudden he can't eat chocolate.

Speaker 3 (07:52):
And I was like, do we just wait and see?
But then I was like, if he dies, I'm gonna
feel bad that he wasn't even worth three hundred and
eighty dollars. How awful.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
Oh so the dog's gone.

Speaker 3 (08:02):
Now, the dog's fine, happy as Larry.

Speaker 4 (08:05):
So maybe you can it grapes.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
I wanted to the heads that johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Something else that may give us a bit of a
smile this morning, because you know, we're up early, we're
at them at work, school holidays at the moment, and
you know a lot of people are on the juggle
right now listening. You know they're trying to get work
going with her looking after the kids, and I thought,
you know, well one of my daughters as a teenager
now seeing her and you know, we did the podcast together.
She loves talking on the radio, but she loved talking

(08:33):
on the radio at sex fifty in the morning and
the holidays. What we've done this is doubly worse for
my wife, Amanda, who joins us right now, because we've
woken her up. Good morning, Amanda, So what's that?

Speaker 3 (08:45):
Good morning?

Speaker 4 (08:45):
Wasn't too soon for Christmas?

Speaker 5 (08:49):
October?

Speaker 3 (08:50):
I thought you meant too soon to call you.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Point yeah, yeah, so so well you Megan and me
this morning thought, you know, it as school holiday holidays,
maybe we could do a little thing, wake up the
teenager in the household.

Speaker 4 (09:08):
But they're also going to be popular, no, but it also.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Not popular with you because we wake you up as
well to okay, holiday, yes, school, you're a teacher. School holidays.
But anyway, can we can we go through to see
in her right now?

Speaker 1 (09:21):
What time?

Speaker 3 (09:21):
What time would she usually.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
Get Well, she's pretty good during the school term, like
she'll get up at like six thirty seven o'clock, you know,
depending on what she's got on.

Speaker 4 (09:28):
But in the holidays. She can sleep.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
She can sleep easily to eight thirty nine o'clock if
she wanted to, if she wanted.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
Okay, so give us.

Speaker 6 (09:38):
Do you want me to just put it here?

Speaker 4 (09:39):
Where are you right now?

Speaker 6 (09:41):
I'm in my room. I walk.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
That'll be nice if you just yet so quickened up
the process just a little bit.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
You've woken your wife up early. I don't think past aggressiveness.

Speaker 4 (09:52):
Hovering outside the door, you know, to a bed roo. Anyway,
you're still a bid.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
She's still as a favor.

Speaker 4 (10:00):
Sorry, I see you know. Good morning. It's for me
and me, so you know, good morning. How you doing?
This is a new thing we'd like to know on
the radio this week. It's called wake Up your Teenager? Okay,
how you feel like? Update?

Speaker 2 (10:21):
Whether, what's looking like today? What's happening today? What's on
the agenda?

Speaker 3 (10:27):
What's up the podcast this week? Here's your plug?

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Oh yeah, who's the guest Dame Lisa character? Last week?
Didn't we on the Win I Grew Up podcast?

Speaker 4 (10:38):
That was good? What was your favorite thing about that chat? Middle? Yeah,
we got to hold the gold medals. This is like
talking to teenagers. Sometimes they give you one word answers.
So you know, I hopeing this will be a bad
dream for you. Right, Okay, you have a great day.
You can get up now. You can try to your room.
There'll be some towels on the floor. There'll be some

(11:00):
You have some things to take back to the kitchen.
You can tell it. Tity those up for me.

Speaker 3 (11:04):
You're in trouble when you.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
All right?

Speaker 4 (11:07):
I have a great day.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
The hits that jonaan Ben podcast, Damn Meghan.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Someone has slid into Megan's and DMS again with a
bit of a dilemma. And I keep going back and
forward on this one every time we talk about it,
so we thought we'd put it to you. We need
to help out this particular person with a definitive answer.

Speaker 3 (11:28):
So the message reads, hey, team, I really need your help.
I accidentally dented my friend's car when I moved it
and never mentioned it. It's been fixed now, but my
friend insists it was her husband who did it and
keeps giving him a hard time about it. He always
denies it, and I feel terrible about the whole situation.
Should I come clean or just leave it alone. I'm

(11:50):
worried about her reaction. She seems to forgive him, But
what if she can't forgive me? What would you guys do?
It doesn't say when it happened, like how long has
it been? It's been months. I feel like it's too long.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
To say yeah, because yeah, it's always one of those things.
At the time when it happens, as awkward as it is,
just front it because the longer you leave it it
is really hard. The poor husband's get thrown under.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
The bus every time they hang out. Anytimes there's a
car mengined, he's probably like, marry me. You didn'ted my car.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
Have you damaged anyone else's car before?

Speaker 1 (12:25):
No?

Speaker 3 (12:26):
No, I don't think so. I would always front for it.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Though I rode off my car. Well, it was with
the car that used to drive to school. We lived
on a farm and i'd drive to school. I had
my license, and for some reason I just got petrol,
like not long before, and I went to put the
speed on my turn, you know, like to read, to
click it on to see how far.

Speaker 4 (12:44):
I don't know why.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
I was interested to see how far i'd get on
the tank. And I got my arms stuck between like
the steering wheel steeking it through and the indicator and
for another weird reason, I didn't put on the brake either.
I just be it off straight into a tree and
then I had to go tell my mom and my
step It was like the one they'd given me to
drive to school.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
And I had to go, oh goss, I've just I
started crying. And then I think they felt so bad
for they couldn't get angry. So maybe that's a technical.

Speaker 3 (13:11):
You're lucky that you're okay.

Speaker 4 (13:13):
I was so stupid, so it was like, what was
I thinking? Riving?

Speaker 2 (13:19):
So I think if this particular person could maybe start
crying if they did confess, and maybe that would help.

Speaker 4 (13:24):
That's my only experience at this.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
Point though, I don't think i'd say anything.

Speaker 4 (13:29):
But then the girl, the girl can eat you up.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
And then is she going to get angry if you
say it now, because she's like, why don't you say something?
At the time, I've given him so.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
Much griefs that JOHNA wan Ben Podcast.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
We are in the middle of today's d M. Megan, Oh, Andre,
the hats are four four eight seven. We really need
to get back to this person with an answer, and
to be honest, I don't know what they should do not.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
At this point, so Basically, someone dented their friend's car
when they moved it. They never mentioned it. It has
been fixed now, but the friend insists it was the
husband who did it and keeps giving him a hard
time about it. So the friends sitting there hearing this,
being like, well it was me. They want to know
do they come clean or leave it alone? Now that
it's been fixed, she might forgive him, but will she

(14:12):
forgive the friend now? A lot of people have commented
it's pretty pretty one hundred percent one way. On the
Facebook post, people have said, you should have been honest
in the first place, but now you need to come clean.
Karma will come for you. Someone said, if you were
given a hard time for something you never did, how
would you feel. I would come clean and admit it.

(14:34):
It's affecting their marriage, So own up now and tell
her how sorry you are, pay the damages, and a
friend would forgive you.

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Yeah, because that's the thing now the husband's involved. Maybe
if the husband wasn't getting grief and there's one.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
That you know, like when you get grief in front
of someone, so it might seem fun. She might be like,
he's bear driver, you crushed my car. But then behind
the scenes. It might actually be an issue that they're
arguing about.

Speaker 4 (14:58):
You're right, and.

Speaker 3 (15:00):
He's like, I didn't do it, poor guy. But we
need to get your calls and text James, what do
you think should she tell you?

Speaker 7 (15:10):
Yes, she should have told them the first place. I
makes a quite upstate if we're not telling because she's
destroying the marriage.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yeah, yeah, well you're right. You don't know what's going
on with the marriage, do you? Because of it? So
you think, now, okay, she should have done it. She
probably knows that she should have done it at the start.
Now she needs to confess.

Speaker 7 (15:26):
Yep, that her friend is going to be really angry
for her not coming clean. But she needs to do
it because otherwise the friend will find it eventually in
the end, and I could destroy the friendship as well.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
She might not how would she find you?

Speaker 4 (15:41):
Would you up?

Speaker 7 (15:42):
He's come out and the watch eventually. We should all
know that.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
It's one of those conversations is start their friend you are?
You start with a really long hay and the like?
So something to tell you?

Speaker 3 (15:54):
Would you be?

Speaker 4 (15:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (15:55):
Okay, James, thanks for you call Paula. What do you
think she'd she tell the friend?

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Well?

Speaker 8 (16:03):
I would have to say no from that, I think,
because I would say no, not at this point. She
should have said something at the beginning when she did it.
Now it's it's a bit of a mass, I think.
And the likelihood is when the husband finds out, the
friendship's likely not going to go well.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
But yeah, we don't.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
Know how much time has passed either.

Speaker 6 (16:28):
That's it.

Speaker 8 (16:29):
That's that's the thing you should have. She should have
come clean at the beginning.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
If it's a couple of weeks, I reckon, you'll be fine.
But if we're talking months, the friend is.

Speaker 8 (16:36):
Going to be and that's it.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Okay, there both sides of the story. Someone also has
just kicked through him. Megan going get her to call
a friend live on the radio to confess. Oh god,
I don't think we want to put someone through that, Kathy.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
Do you want to give the last call? What should
she do?

Speaker 6 (16:52):
Go and talk to the husband. Can't apologize to the
husband and ask him how she should handle it because
he knows our deep is in.

Speaker 3 (16:59):
He's gonna say, tell her because I've been wearing it.
Thanks very much.

Speaker 4 (17:02):
But you're right though, that's probably a good first approach.

Speaker 6 (17:05):
Start from the blog, and so we actually found out
who did it and it wasn't me.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
But yeah, funny story. Funny story, guys, just with me, Okay,
no one else is funny. It funny. Yeah, that's how
you start that conversation.

Speaker 6 (17:21):
Will know how to handle his wife and how it
could be just something that they bring up as well.
I'm in an ingest in a conversation that could actually
be doing harm to the marriage. Go and find out, okay,
and then ask him if she needs to go and
apologize to her friends directly or not do it together.

Speaker 4 (17:41):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
I appreciate everyone's calls and text so many text stuff
flowing through. At the moment someone's saying, big bunch of flowers,
bottle whisking an apology.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
That's what they need to have anything with that.

Speaker 4 (17:49):
So I think in conclusion we need a summary, Megan.

Speaker 3 (17:52):
She should have seen something in the first place. Yes,
most people were saying, you need to talk to your friends.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
The John Wan Ben Podcastilliams, Okay, we can talk about
David Williams.

Speaker 2 (18:01):
Yeah, yeah, I love David Williams, a very funny guy
obviously comedian from the UK Little Britain are now an
author as well. My kids just loved David Williams's books,
and we seem to bond with David Williams, who've talked
him a couple of times over zoom. He follows the
hits Breakfast. He's one of the four people I think
they follows on Instagram.

Speaker 3 (18:22):
Yeah, one of them was very famous.

Speaker 4 (18:24):
Yeah, and so he seems to like us.

Speaker 2 (18:26):
And we talked to him on Zoom just before he
was coming to New Zealand and we were like, oh,
come in and see us, that sort of thing, and
didn't think he would, but he did. He surprised us
as well as Mike Hosking in the building.

Speaker 3 (18:36):
Right was the worst day for me to be away,
but you had the Wiggles in the studio and David
Williams came and crashed first.

Speaker 4 (18:42):
Through the interview, banged on the window because you know,
let me in, and they came on through.

Speaker 3 (18:47):
And he's given you a big cuddle throughout.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
He did, like a non stop cuddle, one of those
ones which was lovely, you know when you're embracing someone
and then you were like, oh, I better stop, you know,
just so because maybe they're waiting on me to stop,
you know, And then he was I was like oh no,
he's still hugging. I saw put my arm back around
him again. You know, I was like this.

Speaker 4 (19:05):
It went on for about three or four minutes, the
hug and then he went around talking to the wigirls.
Poor Simon. He was like, he was like, oh, you're
a lot older than the other Wiggles.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
Still, yeah, very funny, very funny moment as he sort
of wandered his way around the studio and then he
was like, come see me in the weekend. If you
hate the Wiggles, come see me.

Speaker 3 (19:25):
But he also in our zoom chat told you to
ask a very personal question at the show.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
About his underpants, which I'll fill you in wee bit
later on whether I asked it in front of my
kids because I took about my kids along now they
love David Williams. He was doing some sort of shows
for kids during the day and then he was doing
the song more Growing Up one in the evening. But
then I was like, my kids are getting a bit
older now, and one of my daughters had musical theater
camps so she couldn't go to the kids show.

Speaker 4 (19:50):
So I was like, how bad could it be? And
there was definitely a few jokes I was like, oh, okay,
that bad okay. I was very funny. I really enjoyed it.
But there was differ a couple of jokes that made
you freeze when you're like, I'll go over the heads
and others were like, well, that's definitely not going over there.

Speaker 2 (20:08):
There's no way I could explain that one in the
car right and the home sort of thing. But a
really interesting story because he talked about Little Britain, which
I found interesting, and as well as Britain's Got Talent.
Well he was a judge on that with Simon Cowe
and interesting, yeah, and Simon Cow's production company.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
He sort of puts it together.

Speaker 3 (20:24):
But I imagine Simon cow is a pretty tough guy
to work with. He's very like he's a businessman, but
I reckon he's pretty hard to work with.

Speaker 4 (20:32):
Well, he was saying.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
David Williams was saying that you know they would go
along do these live shows people auditioned for Britain's Got Talent,
and it'd be like twelve o'clock David Williams was meant
to turn up.

Speaker 4 (20:41):
With the other judges. He's like, well, twelve o'clock's are
the easy type to get to work by him us time.
It's like I got there at twelve o'clock, got my
makeup ready to go, and Simon Cowe wouldn't be there,
and then it'd be like two three hours later. They'd
get a call like three o'clock and then they'll be like, oh,
Simon's just woken up, Like okay, it's just waking up.

(21:02):
The audience is waiting, everyone's waiting. They're like, oh, well
he'll be here suit.

Speaker 3 (21:05):
So all of the crowd is and then what is
studio waiting?

Speaker 2 (21:09):
Four o'clock rolls around, So that's four hours later and
it's like, oh, Simon's just having a bath and was like,
oh dear God. And then eventually you get there around five,
you know, five o'clock, and then he would have a
cigarette and an ivy drip just quickly and David Williams
is like, well, they just quickly cancel each other out.
Then he would get on stage and always kind of
like throw David Williams under the bus.

Speaker 4 (21:30):
Go so we're late. David Williams had to eat a
three course meal or something.

Speaker 3 (21:35):
I can't believe he would just keep people waiting for
five hours.

Speaker 4 (21:38):
Boss move a boss move. I guess it's your you
get done, who's.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
Going to fire him?

Speaker 1 (21:45):
That johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 2 (21:46):
Today, Eminem are going to be your grandfather for the
first time? Well yeah, Hailey his daughter Hailey having a
which is a pretty emotional video I watched. So Emin
has never been a grandfather. You have never ridden a
bus until recently too.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
You made my dream country. I actually really enjoyed it.
I went at the top of a double decker bus,
right up the front. It was a good time.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
Well it kind of gave us an idea because you'd
never ever ridden a public bus before and we got
you to ride one. You did enjoy it, like you say, so,
we thought we could travel around the country and we're
going to do it next week and help some people
do things for the first time. It's the never have
I ever and never have you ever tour thanks to
guests is helping us get around the country as well,
gas petrol service stations, instant discounts, loyalty program to get

(22:29):
fuel discounts every week.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
Then never have you ever tour on the heads.

Speaker 2 (22:34):
So next week we're heading two places like christ Church, Wellington, Palmerston,
North Auckland. Fun to day as well. If you've never
done anything. We'd love to make your dreams come true.
And we wanted to know this morning some simple things
that would surprise us that maybe you've never done.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
Producer Grace joints us in studio because this blows my mind,
the simplest thing. I never meet anyone that hasn't done
what you haven't done.

Speaker 9 (22:56):
I have never eaten tomato sauce ever? That ever?

Speaker 3 (23:00):
What about a pie? No? Gross?

Speaker 4 (23:02):
So what happens if you're somewhere getting fish and chips
and someone just put spray's tomato sauce all over the
top of it?

Speaker 9 (23:07):
Well, I normally don't make it fast, but I feel
like I wouldn't make it fast?

Speaker 4 (23:11):
About it? Take away the chips that weren't touching?

Speaker 9 (23:14):
Yeah, definitely. I just want to eat chips. Really, I
just can't.

Speaker 3 (23:17):
How do you know you don't like it?

Speaker 9 (23:19):
It just freaks me out. I don't know. I just
I know I just hate it.

Speaker 4 (23:23):
So keep chip tomato sauce all the same. Or is
it you can do like pizza sauce and I can.

Speaker 9 (23:28):
Actually I do like tomato soup.

Speaker 3 (23:31):
Really, tomato sauce is so much yummia.

Speaker 9 (23:33):
I just I don't know.

Speaker 3 (23:34):
Just sweet and tomato soup. I don't know.

Speaker 9 (23:36):
It just crosses me out. I don't really like condiments anyway.

Speaker 3 (23:39):
She's also not keen on trying it.

Speaker 9 (23:41):
I will not try it. You will not get me
next week.

Speaker 4 (23:44):
And they never have you time to talk about this.
So these are the things. This surprises me. Never not
even like I get it. You might try it and
not like it.

Speaker 2 (23:54):
Do your parents always say that to kids. Just try
it once, just try it. If you don't like it,
that's fine.

Speaker 9 (23:58):
I think my parents respected me. They were like, no,
you don't have to.

Speaker 3 (24:01):
My kids eat it by the spoonful. They would have on.
My brother used to eat tomato sauce sandwiches.

Speaker 4 (24:07):
Luncheon and there luncheon would ever meet. That was that
mum would make for school lunches, and then some tomato
swas all over top. So these are the sort of.

Speaker 2 (24:14):
Things we want right now. Four four, eight, seven or
hundred the hats we've had.

Speaker 3 (24:18):

fear of needles as well.

Speaker 3 (25:54):
Ben can't relate because it's not much real.

Speaker 2 (25:56):
Estately, I found it was probably like a big thought
to get the first one, and once you've kind of
got your first one, and then you're kind of away,
and then now I'm getting all sorts of I mean,
I've got skibberty Riz Sigma dead or something on my

Speaker 2 (28:32):
We love David Williams, great children's author, comedian for many
years on shows like Little Breton.

Speaker 4 (28:37):
And he came in You're Away Gutters Friday before last Day.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
He's unannounced, just walst into the studio while we were
interviewing The Wiggles.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
And it was a roller coaster chaotic on the bis Way.

Speaker 4 (28:51):
I'm very very funny. The Wiggles.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
I don't know what they thought about David Williams coming in,
but he was about to do his live shows around
the country and.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
He didn't you say you saw were a couple of
the Wiggles at the show? They were, yeah, incognitive, they're
not in.

Speaker 4 (29:03):
Their care I went up and saw them.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
Look, it's funny how all of us they just blemed
in when they're not wearing the bright colored skimmis. And
then when you see them in the skimmis.

Speaker 4 (29:10):
You're like, oh, it's the Worgels.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
But yeah, they were there at the show. I went
along to one of the shows. I went to one
of more of the adult shows because we couldn't go.
My kids love David Williams that Lovers Box and I
was like, my kids are grown up, it'll be fine.

Speaker 4 (29:22):
There was a few things in there that weren't.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
Quite fund but I really enjoyed it. I had a
great time. And yeah, so he did me beforehand. He's like,
if you're coming along, you need to ask a question,
because I do question and answers on stage. And the
question that he did me to aunts ask him, was like,
can I come backstage and see you in your underpants?

Speaker 4 (29:40):
Now?

Speaker 2 (29:40):
We got along to the show and I told my
kids that I was going to ask a question. There
was a QR code on the screen. If you want
to ask a question, just put your phone up.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
Did you warn your daughters what the question was? I did?

Speaker 2 (29:50):
I said, this is the context. Yeah, and my daughter, ye,
I did the QR code for me. Then she inted
in my seat number. I'm like, great, they'll come around
with a microphone if I asked question. Yea, I'll do
it from the comfort.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
Of my seat. No, no, no, no they didn't.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
So the lights came on mid second half. David Williams
on stage. They're like, these are the people's names that
are gonna ask questions.

Speaker 4 (30:10):
Come on up the front.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
I'm like, oh god, I'm gonna have to ask him
in front of the lights up ask him if I
could go backstage and see him in his underpets. I
kind of gave it some context in front of everyone, said,
to have talk to you on our radio show. You
did me to ask a question.

Speaker 4 (30:24):
Here's the audio of me asking him, did me to
ask your questions?

Speaker 6 (30:28):
So here I am doing it.

Speaker 4 (30:29):
I didn't realize it was going to be in front
of everyone, but anyway, that was can't come backstage and
see you in your underpens.

Speaker 2 (30:35):
And then part that is after seeing your poster for Ediburgh,
do you still have such a heary cheese?

Speaker 4 (30:42):
Yeah, he's not quite as Harry as it was. Okay,
there wasn't a d do you like Harry chat? I
thought too much got it before till tonight you're doing it?

Speaker 3 (30:53):
What's happening? Well?

Speaker 4 (30:54):
Yeah, so he was like do you like here?

Speaker 7 (30:55):
It?

Speaker 4 (30:55):
Just because he did have a photo, because he showed
lots of photos and videos of his career and he
had a very hairy chest at one stage.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
So you wink from you were asking him a personal question,
You're like, do you know what that's not personal enough.
I'm going to ask him about his hairy chest as well.

Speaker 4 (31:09):
You doubled down, double down stupidly, and he was like, well,
do you like it? As you would have heard me there?
I was like, oh, I never thought too much about it,
but maybe I do it. And then he asked me
which just after that, he was like, what about you?
Are you shaved or like all the way all over
and I'm sitting there, got a great laugh from the audience.
I'm with the microphone. My kids are sitting not far

(31:29):
from where I was.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
I'm like, hey, I will just pass the mic to
the next person now, so I let the next person
deal with that.

Speaker 4 (31:36):
I was like, I can't answer that in front of eye.

Speaker 3 (31:39):
Was there any awkward questions from your daughters on the
right home or did everyone just ignore some of the
content with.

Speaker 4 (31:44):
Definitely ignored some stuff.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
It was definitely one of those moments, as I said earlier,
where there were sometimes I was like, oh, that joke
will go over their heads, and then other times I'm like, no,
that won't.

Speaker 4 (31:53):
I don't know how I'm going to explain that one.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
So I want to talk about it.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
But the hits that johnaan Ben Podcastavigating This School holda days.
At the moment, my kid's getting a little bit older,
which it's not quite as hard as when they were younger.

Speaker 4 (32:05):
Now they take care of themselves. Nowadays.

Speaker 2 (32:07):
It's me more embarrassing them, you know, that's part of it.
Like I'm going, guys, you've got time. I want to
do something to you to embarrass you.

Speaker 3 (32:14):
That's bless then taking care of themselves them to be
able to feed themselves and go to the toilet. Don't
take that for granted, ben true, they can like take
themselves to the toilet. Amazing.

Speaker 2 (32:26):
I'm not doing anything that sweet spot in a sweet
spot of embarrassing them. The other day, I was telling
you about my new game that I like to do
with just tooting and waving at people. Well, I look
away and they look directly at the person looking up
to them, often kids from the schools.

Speaker 4 (32:40):
It's mean, No, I did it a little Verity ho
Instagram nuts as well. Millions of people loved it, except
for my kids. They definitely love it.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
But they get me back and they've got a really
good trick at the moment, and I keep falling for
it as well. Went to David Williams of the Night
went out and they wanted to get a snack at
half time, and I was like, well taking them to
the show that may they shouldn't have gone to so much.
Sweet again, you can have my car, do you stand
in line? Don't even have to stand in line with
them these days. They can have the card and swipe
and do their thing. But they came back with some

(33:09):
peanut m and ms. Quite a big bag, and I went,
oh god, what did that cost me? And they were
like nineteen dollars and I was like nineteen dollars. I
was like, what you paid nineteen dollars for the M
and ms O? This was what nineteen dollars?

Speaker 4 (33:25):
And then they went and they went, no, it was
actually like nine dollars.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
Don't you feel better now that it was nine dollars
and that they devised the tactic. They thought if they
came up to me and I said nine dollars, I
would have got nine dollars. Yeah, but they went for
a much higher amount and so I got wound up.
And then when they brought it back to like nine
dollars or whatever it was, I was like, oh, that's
not as bad as nineteen dollars.

Speaker 3 (33:45):
It's genius.

Speaker 4 (33:46):
Since you quite a good trick. You could even try
that with Andrew.

Speaker 3 (33:49):
When you buy buy some shop, I always see how
much they were before they were on sale.

Speaker 4 (33:54):
These were four hundred dollars before hundred dollars.

Speaker 3 (33:57):
Paid twenty Yeah, they just cart.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
If you are navigating the school holidays and maybe you
need a night out, it's parents need a night out.
We've got some tickets to a brand new movie which
you saw the other night, Joker.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
What is it called, Ben Well, I know.

Speaker 4 (34:11):
Well, it's the sequel to The Joker. It's yeah. Actually,
I'm not the only one that's screwing up.

Speaker 7 (34:17):
Now.

Speaker 4 (34:17):
You know how to say it right?

Speaker 3 (34:18):
It is Joker Adu Okay, say, Lady Gaga is.

Speaker 4 (34:23):
In the movie, but I'm too scared to say it
because it's French.

Speaker 3 (34:26):
It is French. But you're not the only person that
struggled with it. This is a whole bunch of journalists
you should know, but still struggle with the movie name.

Speaker 7 (34:34):
The trailer is out for Joker fo Les.

Speaker 4 (34:39):
Did I pronounce that?

Speaker 6 (34:40):
I think you did there?

Speaker 9 (34:42):

Speaker 1 (34:45):

Speaker 4 (35:06):
You're a huge fan, Megan of Christmas. You love Christmas.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
I do.

Speaker 3 (35:09):
It's just like the whole feeling of I don't know
it's the lead up. You know, there's so many lights
and it's just a feeling.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
I do love Christmas, but you go quite early November
you put your Christmas tree up?

Speaker 3 (35:20):
Yeah, because I want to feel the Christmas spirit as
much as possible. I think by Christmas tree ends up
being up for like three months.

Speaker 4 (35:26):
Why do you just leave it up then you can
feel the Christmas.

Speaker 3 (35:28):
Because then it's too much of a good thing. So
we take it down to the end of January usually,
So yeah, that's like three months, okay, a quarter of
the year.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
Because came out here in New Zealand's you know, they
were coppying it because you know, in September and late
September they were getting into the Christmas spirit by bringing
out all the winter well winter jerseys, Christmas jessey. Ever,
run's like it's too hot to wear those. In New Zealand,
it's too soon to bring out Christmas decorations and Christmas
power paraphernatic?

Speaker 3 (35:55):
Is it because Christmas is a stressful time and people
don't want to think about it too early?

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Is that what it is?

Speaker 2 (36:01):
Maybe I feel like my kids are on the Halloween
bus at the moment, so I feel like I can't.
Maybe november's a good time, like you say, because you're
clear Halloween off your calendar.

Speaker 3 (36:10):
Yeah, that's kind of why we did it. You clear
Halloween and then you're straight into Christmas.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
But you know, at some stage, you know, in the
next couple of weeks, Mariah Carey she'll get thought out,
won't she.

Speaker 3 (36:19):
Didn't She make a joke about that last year that
she thowt herself out of like an ice rock and
she was like, right here I am.

Speaker 2 (36:26):
And at some stage, you know, radio stations around the
world will start playing Christmas music.

Speaker 4 (36:30):
That'll that'll happen probably December onwards.

Speaker 3 (36:34):
You know it's too late.

Speaker 2 (36:36):
Okay, somebody even going November, But will any go in October?
Is the question that you want to ask, right you
know you want to hear this, sou Do you want
to hear it?

Speaker 4 (36:45):
Four four eight simmer? Shall we be the first radio
show in the world to play this song in its entirety? Next?

Speaker 3 (36:50):
Does it give me tingles? It gives me tingles.

Speaker 4 (36:53):
It's good. I feel like we're gone too early. I
feel like we're going to early. Producer Grace has come
here on the text and she's she's not onto it. No,

see what. Okay, four for eight seven, give us give
us a text right now. It's your show. It's the
People's show, the people show.

Speaker 3 (37:29):
You tell us do you want to hear a Christmas song?
Or is it too early?

Speaker 1 (37:32):
The hits that John and Ben podcast.

Speaker 2 (37:35):
Came out to another stores, you know, getting a little
bit of flat for going too early on Christmas came
up when in September with a lot of their Christmas stuff.

Speaker 3 (37:43):
I think I saw last week farmers had put up
their Christmas decoration situation, so they must have waited till
like the start of October.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
But that's up, and we thought, you know, maybe we
could be the first radio show, the first station in
the world to play a Christmas song. And now that
I've suggested it and talked to you about it, I'm
backing out of it. I'm thinking it is too soon.

Speaker 3 (38:04):
Do you know better than to dangle anything Christmas in
front of me, because I will be I'll gobble it up.
I'm so keen for Christmas. I'm hanging out.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
Okay, So have we gone too early? If we play
a Christmas at tune, I'm saying yes. The text machine
is so many textas morning. We appreciate it four four
eighty seven, probably to be fear reading through them slightly
in favor of playing the Christmas songs slightly in favor.
But then there's a lot of hard nos, like I'll
go to other stations, please come back, please don't play.
Other people want other songs, not Mariah as well. But

(38:36):
this is the song that you want to play if
we play it, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
I want to play I want to play a bit
of Mariah Carrie. Is the song for Christmas?

Speaker 6 (38:43):
Right?

Speaker 3 (38:46):
This song?

Speaker 4 (38:47):
Yeah, it does feel too soon.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
It's Christmas song.

Speaker 2 (38:49):
It's simple, nine days to Christmas, it's October seventh.

Speaker 4 (38:52):
We've got the harmonies we can do.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
It's a long runway, Vegan, there's a long runway. It
doesn't mean we're going to play Christmas songs all the
time from here on in. It just means we'll play
this one and then have a break for.

Speaker 3 (39:04):
We're dipping our toes in. But we thought we would
get our boss, our boss Matte, to give us the
definitive answer. If he says no, I will go with
it and I will not play Mariah Cairi.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
Good morning, Matt, Good morning too.

Speaker 3 (39:24):
How was your weekend?

Speaker 4 (39:25):
I'm not try to butter them up.

Speaker 3 (39:27):
I'm just kind of engage, but it was a really
bad weekend. Maybe he'll say, no, how was that?

Speaker 8 (39:31):
The weekend was okay?

Speaker 2 (39:32):
Mate?

Speaker 3 (39:32):
How was your Yeah, just I was a bit busy.
Actually there was an emergency room situation, but we'll get
to that later on the show if you stick around.

Speaker 7 (39:38):
I'm sorry here.

Speaker 8 (39:39):
The kids are okay, are fine?

Speaker 3 (39:42):
Yeah, no, both everyone's fine. All the people are fine.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
Well, but this is an emergency situation right now on
the radio, Matt, because we want to know, you know,
should we dip our toes into the Christmas pooll?

Speaker 4 (39:51):
Was it too early?

Speaker 2 (39:52):
I'm saying maybe it is now. I'm starting to think
now it's not starting to think it maybe too early.

Speaker 5 (39:57):
See here's the thing. I've been sitting here listening to
this unfolding on the show, and I know that quite
often you guys paint me out to be some kind
of Grench on the air. But the truth say is
I'm Cindy Low, So let's get us on the air.

Speaker 3 (40:09):
All right.

Speaker 2 (40:12):
Okay, it was like maybe too soon, but hey, it's
been a hic of a year, cost of living and
all sorts.

Speaker 4 (40:17):
Of light began and enjoy happenings in the world. The
Black Christmas Journ. Here's Mariah.

Speaker 1 (40:27):
The hits that jonaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 2 (40:29):
The New Zealand Navy ship. Well, one of our ships
are sunk over the weekend and some oh I hit
a reef, is it right?

Speaker 3 (40:35):
And then it's yeah, I read a ground caught fire.
There was some video footage from shore just watching your
navy boat go up in flames and then sunk.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
So all seventy five people on board are all good.
They're fine, which is great news. But not great news
is the fact that it costs what over like one
hundred million dollars for the spot and.

Speaker 3 (40:54):
We got it sick in hand or something, didn't we.

Speaker 4 (40:58):
I like the song You're out to play?

Speaker 1 (41:00):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (41:01):
Do you they get sick of the song in the navy?
Like as soon as you say holm in the navy,
Like oh the Navy.

Speaker 3 (41:07):
I hope not, but I've actually had experience on I've
been on not the same ship. I've been on three
of these Navy ships for different reasons. But my first
my first time on a Navy ship was when I
was talking to a Navy officer on like chat and
then I flow up to Auckland for the big day
out and he took me onto the Navy ship.

Speaker 4 (41:29):
Was he allowed? Was he section to do?

Speaker 7 (41:30):
So?

Speaker 3 (41:31):
Well, you have to get clearance and everything. So you
were and like leap me on. He was in his
like officer of white before whites, all whites, and we
went around and I remember he showed me a bar
and it was like a red velvet curtains and stuff,
and he was I was quite young, so he was like, right,
moving on from here. You're not allowed from here. But
I got to tour the ship. And so there is

(41:52):
there's lots of stuff on there that we don't use.
So there is like gun situations. I've been up into
that main control area with buttons that sees like guns
firing and all. So even though we don't probably use
the ship to its full capacity, it still would be
worth a lot of money.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (42:09):
Well, so as the means to do as you sit
over one hundred million dollars Between that and the inter jes.
We love about the boats that don't quite make it
across the water, don't we Apparently it.

Speaker 3 (42:18):
Was pretty rough, so maybe they had something to do
with it, rather than someone just not paying attention to
where they were steering it.

Speaker 2 (42:24):
Because you've been on the boat a couple of times.
We did try and get you know, before you arrived.
On the radio show, we tried to come up with
the catchphrase, you know, like Radio Hodaki, they've always got
catchphrases other radio stations cooler than us, and so was
voted on that we should come up with all Gravy
in the Navy. That was that was gonna be our catchphrase.
But like everything we do on the show, we kind
of do it for a couple of weeks and then
we kind of lose interest.

Speaker 4 (42:45):
But was it all gravy in the Navy?

Speaker 1 (42:47):
Like? Was it?

Speaker 4 (42:48):
Was it cool in the Navy? Like would you?

Speaker 3 (42:49):
Oh, man, they're boats so cool? It's so cool. I mean,
their sleeping quarters are not great, but just being able
to like press a button on that ship would be cool.

Speaker 4 (42:58):
I went on the Disney cruise. Does it kick secret
badass than that, You're not going to see you like
a Broadway musical sort of a show. That's not a
show though that as well well. So just one hundred
million dollars in the ocean.

Speaker 1 (43:17):
The hits that johnaan Ben podcast In what you saw
at the gym.

Speaker 3 (43:21):
It wasn't just me bragging about going to the gym again.
I know I bring you a lot of gym stories.
But I was there and I saw a guy. He
was walking around. He was dragging a double bag, the
standard gym bag with the zip and like a handle,
and he was dragging it around. That caught my attention.
I was like, why is he dragging his bag? And
it was following him around. But in the bag was

(43:42):
his little dog. So it was quite small and it
looked kind of oldish, but it just sat there dosle
and he'd pull it up to do a machine. He'd
do his thing on a machine, and the dog would
just sit there and wait in the double bag and
get dragged to the next machine. It was I don't
think it was going to jump out or anything. It
was just chilling.

Speaker 4 (44:01):
Was quite happy to do that.

Speaker 3 (44:03):
But it's just an odd scene. Yeah, to see the
guy dragging his little dog around.

Speaker 4 (44:08):
You know, it was just reminded me there gym and
thung today.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
I think I was in over the holiday. My mum
lives up that way, and I was like, I should
go to the gym. And I was on the treadmill
and next to me a dog jumped up and just
went on the treadmill and then they put it on
for the dog. And the way he went, I was like,
what is going on here? And apparently that's the dog
really liked doing it. It was like one of the
gym owner's dogs.

Speaker 4 (44:28):
And the time of time. He'd just get up on
the treadmill and go, hey, I'm key for a walk.
The guy's like it's great, I don't need to walk
the dog. And I was next to me and I'm
sort of running away. The dogs go bitter better than me. Yeah, no,
winter like.

Speaker 3 (44:42):
What if you forgot doesn't know how to jump on it?
Like when it's had enough.

Speaker 4 (44:46):
I had enough.

Speaker 2 (44:47):
I kind of left and the dog was still going,
so I didn't get to that part. But yeah, very
unusual thing. But I imagine people are listening right now.

Speaker 4 (44:54):
They would have seen pits and unusual locations yeah, so
we put it.

Speaker 3 (44:57):
On our Facebook page. What is the weirdest thing you've
seen someone do with your pit? A lot of walking
cats on leashes?

Speaker 4 (45:05):
Oh yeah, people cats and prams and stuff. Right, yeah.

Speaker 3 (45:08):
I've actually got a neighbor who's got a dog that
comes past in a pram, a little doll's pram, and
it's just sitting there. Again, it looks kind of old.
So I think the dogs like this is great.

Speaker 4 (45:18):
I don't need to wash me around.

Speaker 3 (45:20):
Someone had a cocker teal sitting on the steering wheel
as they drove. I don't know if that's safe. On occasion,
he runs from side to side when going around corners,
is what someone said. Another one I've seen in a
park someone feeding mouth to mouth like the animal licks
it out of the human's mouth. It doesn't say what
animal it is. Oh yeah, I was going to say what,

(45:43):
I don't know what animals?

Speaker 4 (45:45):
Like a mummy bird feeding a baby birds in a
situation yuck.

Speaker 3 (45:49):
Oh I hope it's not a dog.

Speaker 2 (45:51):
We were filming for our TV show Rip, the one
they got cancer John on bin And in the UK,
and we wanted to do this beefeeder. You know, it's
the skeat with yes Bee Fir to stand outside with
the big hats and they're not allowed to move no
matter what happens. And the TV crew thought it'd be
funny to put like a live snake around our necks.
And this lady turned up with a backpack and she

(46:11):
had inside like these two tupplewair containers.

Speaker 4 (46:14):
She had the snakes.

Speaker 2 (46:15):
The apparently she had permits for them and everything, but
she'd been on the tube with these snakes in the
backpack and everything.

Speaker 4 (46:20):
Put them out, put them around our necks. It was frightening.

Speaker 2 (46:23):
Then put them back in the tupplewair type containers and
took them with her. It's like, you wouldn't even know
that someone next you could have snakes in their back
Snakes on the train.

Speaker 3 (46:31):
Jackson was the plate, Oh my god, what snakes.

Speaker 4 (46:35):
That's what I kind of thought. I mean, they could
kind of She was like, Oh, they can breathe and
stuff and they don't mind it. But I was like,
did you ask? So that was a very unusual thing
I saw a pet do. But can you beat that?

Speaker 3 (46:45):
Yeah, what is the weirdest thing you've seen someone do.

Speaker 1 (46:47):
With their pits? That johnaan Ben Podcast just.

Speaker 3 (46:51):
Wanting the strangest thing you've seen someone do with their pet.
I've seen a guy at the gym. He's dragging around
a duffel bag with his dog in there, and apparently
he comes to the gym with them all the time,
just hangs out in the bag while the guy does
his exercises.

Speaker 4 (47:06):
Do you need permission from the gym to do that?

Speaker 3 (47:09):
Yeah? I don't know. He might have permission. Maybe he does.
They didn't seem too concerned about it.

Speaker 2 (47:14):
One hundred heads four four eight seven. We've had a
few texts coming through. Yeah, we've got some help pizza
up for grams as well. Someone said our cockatoo will
call dogs into the room see like a whistle.

Speaker 4 (47:27):
As well.

Speaker 2 (47:28):
And someone said, I've got to keep the toilet seat
down so our dogs stop drinking out of the toilet.

Speaker 3 (47:34):
My dog's not big enough. Thankfully, it's not even the
height of the toilet, so I wouldn't get in. But
Producer Grace is coming to the studio. You saw someone
do something with their bird.

Speaker 10 (47:43):
Yeah, I was at the local library and the bird.
I just walked in and the bird would like sit
on our shoulder and like read with her. She'd be
reading a book, and the book and the bird would
just kind of like go along and read, like just.

Speaker 9 (47:53):
Sit there with her.

Speaker 3 (47:54):
It's not like reading out loud though, it's.

Speaker 4 (47:57):
Not reading the words. That's a good voice.

Speaker 9 (48:03):
That's the bird was like following her.

Speaker 10 (48:06):
It was really weird and sometimes it would like help
her tend the page.

Speaker 4 (48:09):
Okalls, like the book the bird is reading it. Yeah,
I think I think it is Megan Will not. Yeah,
I think we've got someone throwing out andrew the hats good.

Speaker 3 (48:19):
Morning, is it lez yeap? What did you see someone
do with their pit?

Speaker 8 (48:25):
I used to do it with my pit. So I
had bearded dragons and I used to take them shopping,
like in the.

Speaker 3 (48:32):
Did they just sit in the trolley in the front
part of the trolley.

Speaker 8 (48:36):
No, on my shoulder or I had little hands for them?

Speaker 3 (48:39):
Did you did you even get told off by the shopkeepers?
I don't know why you'd be told off, but did
they even well?

Speaker 4 (48:45):
I guess allowed to bring them? Very weird? What what's
the deal?

Speaker 8 (48:48):
They were fine? Actually a lot of them are pretty interested.

Speaker 3 (48:53):
What are bearded dragons like? Like temperament wise, like they
just awesome, awesome, so they don't bite or anything.

Speaker 8 (49:02):
I got them once, but that was because I was
trying to take something out of his throat.

Speaker 4 (49:07):
They say they're quite big, right, they grow quite large.

Speaker 8 (49:11):
Yeah, they can used to be from my hand up
to my elbow.

Speaker 4 (49:15):
So yeah, you just take it around. Why did you
decide to get a bearded dragon.

Speaker 8 (49:21):
I've got a thing about reptiles.

Speaker 3 (49:22):
Okay, and what about like other people in the supermarket,
