Speaker 1 (00:01):
With the John and Ben podcast. Cheers to Delmark making
the world a better tea.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
The Oasis ticket's been gone on sale, they've got back together.
Ten million people from one hundred and fifty eight countries
tried to buy the one point four million tickets available.
A lot of people, so we're gone. A lot of
people missed out for Yeah, they're well gone, all sold out.
And due to the ticket master in demand pricing, the
surging originally valued tickets around about well, let's going New
(00:26):
Zealand dollars around aout two hundred and eighty five dollars,
ended up surging for about seven hundred and fifty dollars
standing GA ticket. Oh yeah, just some sort of standard tickets. Next,
what do we feel about the old surging?
Speaker 3 (00:38):
I'm surprised it's allowed, but I guess it's supplying demand, right.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
It happens with other things that aren't concert tickets. Ubers, yeah, plight, Yeah,
in demand, I guess I suppose it's Yeah, I suppose
it can be done, but doesn't feel good paying a price.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Well, speaking of surging, how am I going to go here?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Planes?
Speaker 4 (01:02):
They seoge don't know, they're so powerfully seoge through the end,
they caught a plane. Yesterday we went to christ the
Broadcasting School to manipulate the minds of the youth, when
to inspire the next generation.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Kind of big clap at the end after your Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Honestly, to be honest, I felt like we just bearbeled
for ninety minutes, just talked at them and.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Oh they started the questions and stuff. That was really
an honor to do it, to do it, but you
went there, yeah, and I was, you know, conscious of
your like, you want to actually give some good information
about the industry rather than always, you know, because often
we get up there and you just kind of tell
jokes and stuff. But I was kind of thinking, well,
these people are probably the people that actually do want
to hear. If I was in that position when I was,
I'd want to actually know about the things that I'm
(01:46):
going to go into.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
So honestly, I just wanted to say them get into bitcoin,
into crypto.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Only to do anything. I don't know about that. Yeah,
because you went to the broadcasting school.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Team, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I actually did one of those speeches.
When producer Liam Rasci is working with us, now he
got to hear my babbling coming here.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Liam and found out how inspiring Megan.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Was not Jerry, I don't think I was the same
as you. You talk a lot and you're like, is
any that any good?
Speaker 5 (02:18):
No?
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Liam, were you inspired? Is this what got your industry?
Megan's touching words?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Please be honest.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Your answer. She kind of came in. We were kind
of getting closer to COVID. She was going to, you know,
pushing the might be made redundant rule. All right, it
was a doom guys, what are you doing? You're gonna
all be made redundant jobs. You're gonna be made the
(02:47):
future though, didn't she was honest? Well, there were a
few TVs that jumped into news Hub after that one.
God tell you what uplifting inspirational speech for Megia here? Now? Yeah, you'
gott to be meeting with management. I need to tell you.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
I fluffed them handshake at the airport, two military people
sitting right next to us, and I was like, don't
blow it, don't and I blow it.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
That's after Shaboozi bars. I get six on them and
it has the hats on your Wednesday morning bed.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
The hats that Jona wan Ben podcast.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Are you bumped into a couple of guys from the
Air Force yesterday and they were lovely. Started to justbbjibbering
away to them, didn't we But I don't think you
saw this.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Ben.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
When one of the gentlemen sat next to me, he
went in for a greeting, I could see arm movement right.
You could seem okay, so this is stock standard handshake situation.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I'm thinking to myself, okay, you're probably thinking, well, military,
you're probably thinking right, it probably is like a direct
eye contact, solid handshake. I was ready to salute, you
know a.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Rangejeez, i'd say, done you over forties, okay, give me before.
He's not young, so I could see the arm coming
closer towards me, and then I've I've chucked out my
two hand flat ready for a rock solid handshake. Last minute,
I've gone, oh, he's first bumping. He's first bumping, and
(04:17):
I'm like, I can't save it.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
It's too late.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
So I ended up as with his first clenched I've
ended up with my flat hand before wrapped around sort
of hugging, blanketing, spooning.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
It's fisting so I to catch my knuckles. The kids
will know from the Norris was that a catch me knuckles.
Oh yeah, they do it on purpose. It was ugly.
They do it like as that's a little greeting. But
you know that was that was not the intention. But
I was on was the military protocol here.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
I'd never seen fist, but it was all my fault
and in hindsight, he had clearly marked the first bump.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah, it's a tricky situation. I've done the same thing
I've done, even done the one where you go over
the top and then you shake. You still go for
your shaking shaking their first. That's all good, good to
see you, mate, but yeah, weird at the moment.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Just be like, I'm sorry that up.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Do you want to know?
Speaker 4 (05:16):
This is this is a terrible story. And he felt
bloody awful. But a friend of mine he walked into.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
The radio studio. This is many, many years ago, and
he walked into.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
The radio studio and there was some young people there
and one of them was baby. You know how they
sometimes the arms haven't fully developed and hampton developed, And
so my friend had walked into the studio and he
had gone a mate, nice to meet you, not realizing
that there was not a full hand or arm developed,
(05:52):
and so He's gone, Okay, what do I do here?
So then he gets his thumb and his full finger
and then just grabs a little bit.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
And shakes it up and down. I guess of that situation.
I'm watching this play out.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
I'm like, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Then he looked at me.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
He just walked down and we're definitely gonna be talking
about this later on.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Something. Even the person was like, did that just happen to?
Speaker 3 (06:26):
I want to hide at secondhand embarrassment?
Speaker 4 (06:28):

there was a doctor. Uh, it wasn't about three siblings
or something.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yeah, And it turned out the doctor was a female.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Yeah, and I assumed that the doctor was a male.
That was on me and I take it on the okay,
So would.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
You like it was also the same day a comment

want one of those? Or do you want front?
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Do you want one that could trap him into a
sixer scannal?

Speaker 2 (11:02):
Guys have been on dog watch as you know. My
dog had a bandage. Is here an update update for you?
I'll give you an update in three minutes. At six
twenty nine on the Hats The Hits.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
That johnaan Ben Podcast, we're trying to.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Track down Brian Adams, Canadian rock superstar, because he won
our Best Song Ever. He's coming to New Zealand next year.
We wanted to tell him that he won the Hits
Best Song Ever.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Yeah, we had producer Grace made him a certificate or
Microsoft clip art.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
We've got it printed out. Was it even laminated to
shoot with a Laminator? Excess here at work. Oh yeah, laminade.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Yeah and so look look full transparency. We've we've already
spoken to Brian and I think that he thought we
might have been having.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
A laugh because we led with the certificate, right yeah,
maybe in highslight we shouldn't because yeah, and it was
kind of like, oh is this this is the jit
here's a little moment. Just remember we printed you a certificate.
I was really hoping the certificate with gone down a
bit better.
Speaker 7 (11:59):
But anyway, I just love the happy photo.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, are you happier in this photo there? Or you're
happier now on the zoom call.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
So there was a photo of him not smiling on
this and he wasn't smiling on the zoom either.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
So I think the certificate might have seemed like the
award was a joke, but like it was LEGITI won't
best song either.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
It's all on us, on us, Yeah, we blew the
coms on anyway, Brian Adams and is indifferent response.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I wanted the best song you were coming up at
eight twenty, but you have the dog. My dog had
a bit of a sore on its leg and had
a hot, pink, stretchy bandage John to stop it from
sort of the dog from licking it and biting it.
And then we came in one day and the bandage
was gone and we're like, oh oh, and it seemed
like the dog had eaten it. And so we're on
dog watch over the weekend.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Do you think your poor dog, because you know, he's
come from the snowy hills of where some crazy European country,
what is he add Do you think if he was
tracing through the hills with a pink bandage on his leg,
what was maybe?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yeah, so maybe you tried to get rid of it.
But yeah, So we had a few days over the
weekend when nothing had passed and we had to keep
an eye on it, and you I was like, oh,
that's a good thing, and me and you were like,
well maybe not necessarily because it hasn't come out.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Yeah. I was worried it was going to get like
trapped in they were wrapped around some things.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
And then we sort of had a period where, you know,
for a few hours, the dog it just wasn't eat,
which is very unlike him, and it was just very
lethargic and not eating, and we're like, oh, something is
actually wrong with the dog. So we took them to
the vet. Yesterday. I was in christ Chitch, but yeah,
the vet. I mean, they have to do everything they
have to, like, well, we're going to do I get
the phone call. It's like because my mother in law
took them to the bit and she was like, I
(13:36):
can't sign off on the on the bill for this
without someone, you know, I'm being on the phone. The
VT's like, hey, we need to do an ultra sound,
we need to do an X ray, we need to
check if the things in there to hear his kitchen. Yeah,
what's my mother option? You know, I love the dog
and do that. And so they yeah, they did an
ultra and did x ray and they thought they could
see something in there of the dog. And they were like, hey,
(13:57):
we'll give them some medication, send them home, but we're
we have to get back for another x ray, another
ultra sound, and potentially you could look at surgery and
stuff like that. Like another one just a chicken. But
then fortunately, I guess not fortunately for the dog, but fortune.
Last night he vomited up the bandage. So the bandage
is out. I mean, it would be nice to twelve
hundred dollars before, but please please, Before we got into
(14:22):
the next round days ago, he was waiting for you
to pa.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
He's like, now I know you care.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
But then he did stop in the second round and
the surgery and stuff like, you know, so to double
down and the good thing is you didn't have to
pull out his back.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Well, yeah, he came watching on to the front, watching
us seven days.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
It's worse though.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
The dog's very Yeah, it'd be confused while we've been
keeping such an eye on, very self conscious about his
So please on that regard. But never never a cheap experience. Well,
because you did have insurance, yeah, well did? We did
it for a while until they they didn't pay out
on something. So I went, you got the insurance, but
if I don't think they would have paid O on
(15:04):
the one there because that wouldn't have been an accident
as such. So you're saying, you say, you're like insurance
set up not to pay. I don't want to pay you,
but then you need to have it, so making maybe
we should start an insurance company.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
We should talk to someone on the show tomorrow insurance
do you need it? And if you do, what are this?
You know, the beer essentials that you need for insurance.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
I know you end up like accumulating a lot of insurance.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Yeah, we'll get someone on tomorrow. Okay, I saw you
got Jonathan.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Bed the Heads that jonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Just an article that you see me yesterday.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Really, I'd spent about an hour and a half looking
into this way too much time, absolute wasted time. It
will serve me no good only for the next three
minutes on the radio, to be honest. And it's celebrities
who actually don't go by their birth name. Now a
lot of them change their name, don't they to be
a bit.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
More catchy and like a stage name.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Yeah, legend, believe it or not.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
A legend.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I think I do now, he said, you say yeah,
John Stevens. Stevens, That yeah, John legend sounds a lot better.
And the New Zealand are going to call themselves John
legend without being both bold call Johnny's awesome John.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
He was John Stevens and his friends started calling him
John legend before he was John Legion, and he just
stuck with it. Doesn't seem like a name you would
come out with you.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
That's what he's saying.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
They all call me a legend.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Yeah, you couldn't come out with Hey, you guys are
going to be now known as Benny cool Guy. Okay,
Vin Diesel, believe it or not, I wasn't didn't come
out of the.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Universes of Diesel unlettered ninety eight.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
He was a bouncer in New York for many years.
Van Diesel Is he a vernie?
Speaker 2 (16:59):
No?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Mark sing Clear, that's weird, Mark Sinclear.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yeah, and so then he changed his name.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Apparently his mum has got Vin in her name and
obviously loved Diesel and creating holes in the O layer.
So yeah, that's then that makes you feel better about
yourself that you know someone wasn't that call. Wasn't born
with a name like that, Adam Richard Wiles.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Have you got any idea who that would be?
Speaker 4 (17:33):
No, Adam Richard Wilds Calvin Harris. I feel like Calvin's
switched one boring white man accounting name for another boring
white man accounting name.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
If he picked it, why did he go with?
Speaker 7 (17:46):
Well?
Speaker 4 (17:46):
The reason is his first single was quite sold, his
album was quite sole in R and B, so he
thought the name Calvin Harris was ambiguous.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
If you heard it, you wouldn't know what case. Calvin
Harris was right, Okay, you know your mail back in
the day where you like, you come up with something
and then you're like, oh, I wish i'd changed that,
you know, but you're it's too late. I feel like
you're in that situation with your Gmail.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Yeah that's my Gmail. And every time someone you go
somewhere and they're like, what's your email?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
And you're like a little bit of me dies inside.
Who do you think? I love your cop? Is it
Cockbourn or Coburn? Never know?
Speaker 6 (18:23):
Really?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
When who do you think?
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Olivia?
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (18:28):
I love your wild, Oscar Wild. She was a huge
fan of Oscar World. To change your name. This is
a beauty.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
Do you know who?
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Destiny Hope, Miley Cyrus Cyrus. Yeah, and they called her
Miley because she used to smile at all or something.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
Yeah, so these you went with Miley Cyrus Cyrus. Right,
this is a bolt too, And I don't want to
keep banging and just reading.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
Listens from Lesson, Oh this one's good. Thomas may Pother
Will Thomas Maypother, may Pother. I'm going to go like
another Tom Tom Cruise, Tom, how you got it?
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Cruise is a.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
Cruise is the cool name, Like if you're going to
put cruise, may pother or cruise. If you're weighing them up,
you're going to go a cruise all day. It's crazy
when you.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Have a kid, though, do they adopt cruise or may Pother?
She's she was Suri Cruise.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Yeah, she's adopted nothing hasn't she got?
Speaker 3 (19:32):
I think the name is probably all she got from Tom.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
The hits that jonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
If someone who presents you some of the world's greatest
covers of popular songs. Speaking of Beyonce, remember her. She
was in Distany's Child the other we just played it.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
I just mentioned Gone Beyond just her name, like a
minute less than a minute ago. Some of the world's
greatest covers NIXT including this left.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (20:01):
I love this cover.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
The world's missed the cover songs next last night we
had tripped down to the broadcasting school were yesterday and
we got that kind of late. My wife was at
a meeting, so I kind of like looked at the
option for cooking dinner and I was like, we'll just
go easy, We'll go out. I'll take my two daughters out.
We'll just get something to eat and we were sitting
down and we're kind of hanging out, and normally we
(20:25):
are like, I'm quite good. Only bring a little game
that we can do, like a card game or something
like that.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
Of course you do, because you can't just chill.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
I like an activity, you know, activity, but dinner, a
card games, pockets and restaurants were play a game playing
skip bo.
Speaker 3 (20:41):
You and your wife are going for like a date dinner,
no paper rock.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
God.
Speaker 2 (20:47):
I mean, yeah, it's fun.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
It's like cardspace because everyone puts their.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Phones down and at least you kind of get to
do something together. And but I've forgotten yesterday and my rush,
and so we were trying to think of I was
trying to think of an activity game. So I was
teaching the girls. You know that slaps game that you
used to play at school. Hold your hands in front
of the other person and then you get to slap
their hands or move away like that, and you can
flinch and stuff like that. So we were we're having fun,
(21:11):
the three of us having fun slapping each other's hands.
And next to us was another table with another dad
and his daughter's as well, and they went doing the
slaps game.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
The.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Game with all the glasses and it was probably a
little loud and obnoxious, but we're having we're having fun
doing it. And then our meals arrived and we started

Speaker 2 (27:09):
My family told off there. Next we're talking your cash
stash and what was found at a grandparents house. Unbelievable
story will fill your next on the hill everything you
own in a box?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Do left the heads that John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
A couple on christ Church found just recently two hundred
and thirty two thousand dollars in the ceiling two and two.
Now they've been living in their house for a wee
bit a time. Uh, and they rang the police, which
is you know, the right thing to do. And now
it's gone to the High Court to who is basically
who can get the money because no one has come
(27:49):
forward to claim the money. But the police believe that
the money was through illegitimate purposes, Well they can't prove it,
so a legitimate game. Well, they're saying that a person
who used to live the house before them had ties
to gangs. It's the way the money's laid out was
probably how the gangs would probably lad out. Okay, well
let's give you through illegitimate games. Well that's what they think.
But the couple has also gone to court and saying, well, hey,
(28:09):
it's in our house. We found it. I feel like
it should be our money to keep it.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
And so the police are like, we're really striking financially.
We can really do with the cash the government slash
in our budgets.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
If what happens to that money? If the police are like,
well it's our property.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
I don't know. Yeah, it's really interesting thing. It's gone
to the High Court in christ Ytch. But two hundred
and thirty two thousand dollars and two thousand dollars, as
someone saying, who's a bit of an expert, firstly, you
should call the police if you find that amount of money.
But then if you do keep it, what happens that
people the people come back for them, you know, like
come back for the money.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Move house and keep it like that.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
If it is through illegitimate purposes, then someone somewhere knows
probably about the money, and that would be a kind
of scary scenes.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Well, I think about if they've forgotten about it, they're
now reminded about it. Yeah, yeah, no, good point. I'd
definitely be backing out of that cash now. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Your friend of ours are just saying the other day,
speaking of finding money stored around the house, The grandparents
sadly passed away this year and the family went over
to the house you're tidy up the affairs, you know,
and they just found hundreds of thousands of dollars just
stashed away all throughout the house in jars under the mattress,
(29:20):
in the mattress, out in the shed, in like little
petrol candises.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Cash everywhere like it look.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
Like the cash of an illegal arms dealer or something,
the household of a llegal arms dealer. So they edited
it all up and hundreds of thousands of dollars. This
grandparent just did not trust your modern day financial banking
institutions and there's a lot of that generation who don't.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Say you're the person so you've got a family, but
you're the person who's cleaning up your grandparents' house. You
find all that money, what do you do? Do you
tell your family or you're just like, oh my god,
this is a true ure hunt money. Oh yeah, there
was a couple of hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
No I'd tell, but because I wouldn't be able to
sleep at night.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
The banks are they're always like the banks always trying
to steal your money. But then I'm like, well, if
you got your cash, get it all over the house,
you're just gonna live it to an old school Robert
to steal your money.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
And then if the house, you know, if the head
and fire or something, all the money has gone up
and smoke.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Let's try buy myself a new pillow to help me
sleep at night and not tell anyone.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Okay, oh eight hundred the heads, this is what we
want to open up. What did you find in the grandparents'
stash when you were clearing out their house. Some of
them could go decades without even going into a bank.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Oh yeah, and I imagine too also items you know
that probably could be worth quite a lot to take
he looms. Yeahlom found the hearlooms.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
It's nothing worse though than taking like this a gorgeous
looking watch which is wapened to me. I was like,
this is a legit beautiful watch and take it in
to get it like valued. And you're like, I've got
an hear loom and they're like, oh no, those are
cubics that currently as and half of them are falling out.
That's worth nothing. Okay, what's sentimental?
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Heads four four eight seven?
Speaker 4 (31:00):
What did you find in the grand os stash when
you were clearing out their house?
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Would love to get your calls on.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
This morning the hats that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Just talking about what you found at your grandparents place.
You're just saying a story too.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
A couple found over a quarter of a million dollars
in the roof of their house and now they're going
they handed into the police. It's gone to the High Court.
They believe they own the money. The police are like, no,
you don't. We think it was gained through illegitimate actions.
And then someone's text and said, if the police win
the court case, the money goes to the crown. Right
is that the royals they need more money.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
I think it's just in general the government. Yeah, well
there we're going.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
That's what will happen to the cash and the lawyers too,
they don't get their fees out of it too.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Surely it's going to the High Court. Yeah, oh, thet's
telephone number. Though. What have you managed to find?
Speaker 4 (31:48):
And your grandparents stash a friend of ours, whole bunch
of cash hidden right throughout the house when the grandparents
passed away. Cash in the deep freeze, cash under the couch,
under the bed, and the mattress, cash you everywhere.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Good morning to you, Good morning, lovely to have you
on Teagan.
Speaker 11 (32:06):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
You're right, your grandparents passed away and what'd you find?
Speaker 11 (32:11):
Well, actually it was before they passed away. My papa
was going into a home, so my parents had to
go clear out his house. And he was a bit
of a hoarder and so it was a big action.
And then my parents decided at the same time, they're like, oh,
we're taking all the stuff to them, we'll clear out
our house. At the same time they cleared out their house,
cleared out some of his house, went back a couple
of days later to keep working on the place. And
(32:34):
they found a whole lot of new stuff there and
they said to mom, where did all this come from?
And he said, oh, my friend dropped it off. He
wanted me to fix these things up. And they said,
that's not true, because this is all the stuff from
our house that we took to the dump. And he'd
gone and rifled through the dump and took all this stuff.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Oh so here's i e.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
They get rid of my stuff, I'll sneakily go back
and get it all back.
Speaker 11 (32:54):
You all get some more back, yeah, exactly, And took
all that stuff and tried to.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Lie about it.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Was it was he one of those sort of people
that you'd see on a documentary on a Wednesday night
on TV.
Speaker 11 (33:05):
Absolutely, he had about seventeen fridges that he was going
to pick.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Oh wow, was.
Speaker 3 (33:10):
Going to one day.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
The hallway a packed, you couldn't walk through the house
or anything.
Speaker 11 (33:15):
It wasn't too because he had quite a big place
and he had a big sleepout in the whole sleepout
in the garage was all full that his house is
the part where he lived, and wasn't too bad.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
Eventually you get around to fixing seventeen fridges. Yeah, well
that a great story. Thank you so much, Ta, you
can really do appreciate it.
Speaker 11 (33:33):
Oh good, have a good day.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
My nain. No, God bless her. She was a sweetheart. Winnifred.

from her apart from having glass table. Yeah, I got.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
To sell the house, the heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
Big submission going through for Eden Park to get twelve
concerts a year as opposed to sex at the moment,
because we keep missing out on big concerts like Taler Swift,
Olivia Olivia, Oliviat Rodriguez. There we go. That's all we're
missing out on. Yeah, Billie Eilish as well, you know,
so they reckon if we can have more concerts, we
might get bigger artists coming here.

Mainly my hair and our souls. I hear that actually
a really cool thing to do, But no, I was.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
Love and it's what it was. The word I'm trying
to think of. This is why I should have gone
to broadcast. When you're in a room full of people
and they're looking at you and they're like no, They're like,
you're doing the job I want to do, and you're like.
Speaker 2 (35:37):

They're youthful, they don't have wrinkles, they've got better ideas.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Game. I want to play with you two.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
And now this is something that is not acknowledged by
the wider public. That is a skill from radio that
you would have learned over the years. And it is
annoyingly talking over the introductions of songs. Oh god, okay,
what we what we love in the radio industry. And
this is like a fashion designer creating the perfect garment.
Is when you talk and you end what you're saying
(36:07):
right next to the lyrics, the beginning of the lyrics.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
It's called heading the post.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
So what I want to do right now is this

a computer. Computer's logged off.

clock ticking down to will you go up to the intro? Now,

Okay, So Megan, you can go first, shut your eyes.
Shut your eyes.
Speaker 4 (36:32):
Okay, I'm not even going to tell you the song.

Speaker 7 (38:44):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
How are you well.
Speaker 7 (38:47):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
We didn't think this was going to happen. We didn't
think we're going to be able to connect to you
because big news here in New Zealand. I don't know
if it's reached you, but we had a competition on
our radio station for listeners to vote for the best
song ever of all time, and you took it out.
After hundreds of battles, Summer of sexty nine was voted
in New Zealand's number one song.
Speaker 7 (39:06):
Quality.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
You seem thrilled we've got you.
Speaker 4 (39:12):
We printed out a certificate for you to come and
collect to New Zealand. You know it's got your face
on there, your picture. It's his congratulations Brian Adams on
having the best song ever.
Speaker 7 (39:24):
I look really happy in that one.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
You do.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Yeah. I don't know whether the photo was taken or anything,
but we worked hard on some clip art on Microsoft
and we've made that up for you so when you
come into New Zealand, because I know you're about to
come to New Zealand, you can swing by and pick
it up.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
I don't know where that's going to set in relation
to all the accolades you've had in your career but
we've got.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
It for you.
Speaker 7 (39:47):
Nice one.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
We saw you performing the Taylor Swift. I think you
were actually ironically performing Summer of sexty nine. It was
just remember we printed you a certificate. I was really
hoping certificate with gone down a bit better. But anyway, I.
Speaker 7 (40:08):
Just love the happy photo show.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Yeah, are you happier in this photo there? Or you're
happier now on the zoom call.
Speaker 7 (40:15):
I'll give you that. I give you that picture here.
You can make a screech out of it.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Beautiful. Yeah, there we go. We're gonna have Okay, that's
gonna be that. We'll make you a new certificate because
that one didn't get a draft.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
So you'd be playing with Taylor Swift. Is there a
band or is there a collaboration that you would like
to do?
Speaker 7 (40:32):
No, really, I don't really think about it that way.
Speaker 6 (40:34):
Is it usually these things kind of fall into place,
you know, I don't know. You sort of think about
something that it would be a good idea, and then
you try and make it happen, like when I did
with Tina Turner back in back years and years ago,
or someone else comes to you and I'll get an
idea for you at.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Those moments when you do get to play with Taylor
Swift or you play with Bruce Springsteen and stuff like that.
Is that I mean, I guess you've been doing it
for so long that's you probably don't get nervous anymore,
even like with meeting the Queen and all those amazing
things you've done.
Speaker 7 (41:01):
No, you do get nervous.
Speaker 6 (41:03):
I mean, you always want to deliver on a super
high level, and you know, if you're working with people
that you really like, you want to make sure you
do a good job. Working with both, you know, Taylor
and Bruce was really fun and I don't think they
were nervous, but it was fun because Bruce and I
were practicing backstage. I think I can't speak for Bruce personally,
(41:23):
but I know that for me it really helped sort
of make things easier when we got on stage together.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
How are you right now with the nerves talking to us?
Never mind, I'm to be honest, I'm a little nervous
talking to you, but I'm you seem to be handling
a lot better than me.
Speaker 4 (41:40):
Do you know when, because you've written so many hit songs,
do you know when you've written a dud? And at
what point do you go, oh, there, I better throw
this one in the bin.
Speaker 7 (41:48):
H Yeah, you.
Speaker 6 (41:49):
Know pretty quickly, actually, especially if you know you're playing
for somebody and they start talking to somebody else, or.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
At least politely sit there and bob my head.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
And then when you asked me, how do you think that,
when I was like, that's great, but it's fantastic.
Speaker 6 (42:04):
I think you do know. But you know, sometimes a
dud can become a hit if you work on it
long enough.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
So when you wrote Summer of sixty nine, when you're
in the throes of creating that song, did you know
it was going to be a messive.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
Hurt because I think I was reading that you was
almost didn't get on the album. Was that true or
was that just something that lied to me on Wikipedia?
Speaker 6 (42:24):
The fact is that when we were making that song,
it went through various stages, like it went through two
or three demos.
Speaker 7 (42:34):
And I recorded it twice. I had no idea.
Speaker 6 (42:36):

was something we do the rounds on TikTok. It's become
a news as well. Came from a lady in Australia
talking to her I think a six year old child
(44:51):
about some of the names in the child's class and
she came to the realization that there's names that you
think are just for you and I Megan john O
that just feel like your normal stocks out the names
suddenly slipping into old person name category because there's no
kids been called these names anymore.
Speaker 4 (45:08):
No, they're called like Daisy organ or you know, chulip
butterists and stuff.
Speaker 3 (45:14):
They feels like they just look at items.
Speaker 2 (45:18):
Yes, yes, she asked her six year old child. She
had an eight year and six year old. She asked
them if these names like Sarah, Alex, Jack or Daniel
seems pretty were any of them in their classes?
Speaker 10 (45:28):
Do you have anyone in your year called Sarah or
Alex or Jack or Daniel? And she laughed, She's like
the old people names.
Speaker 12 (45:36):
And I'm like, how about I don't know, like Ryan,
like Steph, like any of those names Michelle, and she's
like no, And then she's like, no, we've got like
these names I can't even actually saying myself. And it
just makes me realize that we are now that generation
that was our parents, generation that was like names like god,
(45:56):
I don't know, like Karen Helen, know what I mean, Joanna.
Speaker 2 (46:00):
Yeah, So there goes your realization for her and us
that the names that we thought, you know, well, there's
just the common names. There's something old person names. Yeah,
trying to.
Speaker 3 (46:10):
Think of my kids class. I know there's a Michael
in there, which is pretty good.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
Mike.
Speaker 2 (46:15):
Yeah, it's a good name. Yeah, the best. He's an
interesting new age name too. You've got a best.
Speaker 3 (46:20):
Yeah, yeah, it's different. My daughter's name is Aya, and
I thought that was weird. But there's another Aya in
there with her.
Speaker 1 (46:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (46:28):
Now they're going to become the old people names in
thirty years or so.
Speaker 2 (46:31):
So what we wanted to do? Hundred? The hat's four
fur eight seven. You give us a call. You toss
your name and then we'll work out if you're over
thirty five or under thirty five? Oh okay, have you
got it by your name? We'll try and think if
it's an old and you can stomp us if you want,
maybe a younger person with her with a name like.
Speaker 4 (46:45):
Steve okay or Luck Cucumber yeah, oh yeah, maybe or
a name like that I made up name, clearly made
up name.
Speaker 2 (46:54):
But there's someone else there called Luck. You care one hundred.
That's four four eight seven. We've got some help eats

old people names.
Speaker 2 (47:48):
Old people names. There's stock standard names. That's responsibility. You know,
you feel it as parents naming your child right, and
people say on social media, which is quite true, you
never realize how many people you just like until you're
naming names. You're like, what about such and such an
I know such as.

The Oasis ticket's been gone on sale, they've got back together.
Ten million people from one hundred and fifty eight countries
tried to buy the one point four million tickets available.
A lot of people, so we're gone. A lot of
people missed out for Yeah, they're well gone, all sold out.
And due to the ticket master in demand pricing, the
surging originally valued tickets around about well, let's going New
(00:26):
Zealand dollars around aout two hundred and eighty five dollars,
ended up surging for about seven hundred and fifty dollars
standing GA ticket. Oh yeah, just some sort of standard tickets. Next,
what do we feel about the old surging?
Speaker 3 (00:38):
I'm surprised it's allowed, but I guess it's supplying demand, right.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
It happens with other things that aren't concert tickets. Ubers, yeah, plight, Yeah,
in demand, I guess I suppose it's Yeah, I suppose
it can be done, but doesn't feel good paying a price.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Well, speaking of surging, how am I going to go here?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Planes?
Speaker 4 (01:02):
They seoge don't know, they're so powerfully seoge through the end,
they caught a plane. Yesterday we went to christ the
Broadcasting School to manipulate the minds of the youth, when
to inspire the next generation.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Kind of big clap at the end after your Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Honestly, to be honest, I felt like we just bearbeled
for ninety minutes, just talked at them and.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Oh they started the questions and stuff. That was really
an honor to do it, to do it, but you
went there, yeah, and I was, you know, conscious of
your like, you want to actually give some good information
about the industry rather than always, you know, because often
we get up there and you just kind of tell
jokes and stuff. But I was kind of thinking, well,
these people are probably the people that actually do want
to hear. If I was in that position when I was,
I'd want to actually know about the things that I'm
(01:46):
going to go into.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
So honestly, I just wanted to say them get into bitcoin,
into crypto.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Only to do anything. I don't know about that. Yeah,
because you went to the broadcasting school.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
Team, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I actually did one of those speeches.
When producer Liam Rasci is working with us, now he
got to hear my babbling coming here.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Liam and found out how inspiring Megan.
Speaker 3 (02:12):

as you. You talk a lot and you're like, is

Speaker 5 (02:18):
No?
Speaker 4 (02:18):
Liam, were you inspired? Is this what got your industry?
Megan's touching words?
Speaker 3 (02:21):

of getting closer to COVID. She was going to, you know,
pushing the might be made redundant rule. All right, it

gott to be meeting with management. I need to tell you.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
I fluffed them handshake at the airport, two military people
sitting right next to us, and I was like, don't
blow it, don't and I blow it.

away to them, didn't we But I don't think you
saw this.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Ben.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
When one of the gentlemen sat next to me, he
went in for a greeting, I could see arm movement right.
You could seem okay, so this is stock standard handshake situation.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
I'm thinking to myself, okay, you're probably thinking, well, military,
you're probably thinking right, it probably is like a direct
eye contact, solid handshake. I was ready to salute, you
know a.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
Rangejeez, i'd say, done you over forties, okay, give me before.
He's not young, so I could see the arm coming
closer towards me, and then I've I've chucked out my
two hand flat ready for a rock solid handshake. Last minute,
I've gone, oh, he's first bumping. He's first bumping, and
(04:17):
I'm like, I can't save it.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
It's too late.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
So I ended up as with his first clenched I've
ended up with my flat hand before wrapped around sort
of hugging, blanketing, spooning.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
It's fisting so I to catch my knuckles. The kids
will know from the Norris was that a catch me knuckles.
Oh yeah, they do it on purpose. It was ugly.
They do it like as that's a little greeting. But
you know that was that was not the intention. But
I was on was the military protocol here.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
I'd never seen fist, but it was all my fault
and in hindsight, he had clearly marked the first bump.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Yeah, it's a tricky situation. I've done the same thing
I've done, even done the one where you go over
the top and then you shake. You still go for
your shaking shaking their first. That's all good, good to
see you, mate, but yeah, weird at the moment.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Just be like, I'm sorry that up.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Do you want to know?
Speaker 4 (05:16):
This is this is a terrible story. And he felt
bloody awful. But a friend of mine he walked into.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
The radio studio. This is many, many years ago, and
he walked into.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
The radio studio and there was some young people there
and one of them was baby. You know how they
sometimes the arms haven't fully developed and hampton developed, And
so my friend had walked into the studio and he
had gone a mate, nice to meet you, not realizing
that there was not a full hand or arm developed,
(05:52):
and so He's gone, Okay, what do I do here?
So then he gets his thumb and his full finger
and then just grabs a little bit.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
And shakes it up and down. I guess of that situation.
I'm watching this play out.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
I'm like, no, no, no.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Then he looked at me.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
He just walked down and we're definitely gonna be talking
about this later on.
Speaker 2 (06:21):
Something. Even the person was like, did that just happen to?

a hot, pink, stretchy bandage John to stop it from
sort of the dog from licking it and biting it.
And then we came in one day and the bandage
was gone and we're like, oh oh, and it seemed
like the dog had eaten it. And so we're on
dog watch over the weekend.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
Do you think your poor dog, because you know, he's
come from the snowy hills of where some crazy European country,
what is he add Do you think if he was
tracing through the hills with a pink bandage on his leg,
what was maybe?
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Yeah, so maybe you tried to get rid of it.
But yeah, So we had a few days over the
weekend when nothing had passed and we had to keep
an eye on it, and you I was like, oh,
that's a good thing, and me and you were like,
well maybe not necessarily because it hasn't come out.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Yeah. I was worried it was going to get like
trapped in they were wrapped around some things.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
And then we sort of had a period where, you know,
for a few hours, the dog it just wasn't eat,
which is very unlike him, and it was just very
lethargic and not eating, and we're like, oh, something is
actually wrong with the dog. So we took them to
the vet. Yesterday. I was in christ Chitch, but yeah,
the vet. I mean, they have to do everything they
have to, like, well, we're going to do I get
the phone call. It's like because my mother in law
took them to the bit and she was like, I
(13:36):
can't sign off on the on the bill for this
without someone, you know, I'm being on the phone. The
VT's like, hey, we need to do an ultra sound,
we need to do an X ray, we need to
check if the things in there to hear his kitchen. Yeah,
what's my mother option? You know, I love the dog
and do that. And so they yeah, they did an
ultra and did x ray and they thought they could
see something in there of the dog. And they were like, hey,
(13:57):
we'll give them some medication, send them home, but we're
we have to get back for another x ray, another
ultra sound, and potentially you could look at surgery and
stuff like that. Like another one just a chicken. But
then fortunately, I guess not fortunately for the dog, but fortune.
Last night he vomited up the bandage. So the bandage
is out. I mean, it would be nice to twelve
hundred dollars before, but please please, Before we got into
(14:22):
the next round days ago, he was waiting for you
to pa.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
He's like, now I know you care.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
But then he did stop in the second round and
the surgery and stuff like, you know, so to double
down and the good thing is you didn't have to
pull out his back.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Well, yeah, he came watching on to the front, watching
us seven days.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
It's worse though.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
The dog's very Yeah, it'd be confused while we've been
keeping such an eye on, very self conscious about his
So please on that regard. But never never a cheap experience. Well,
because you did have insurance, yeah, well did? We did
it for a while until they they didn't pay out
on something. So I went, you got the insurance, but
if I don't think they would have paid O on
(15:04):
the one there because that wouldn't have been an accident
as such. So you're saying, you say, you're like insurance
set up not to pay. I don't want to pay you,
but then you need to have it, so making maybe
we should start an insurance company.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
We should talk to someone on the show tomorrow insurance
do you need it? And if you do, what are this?
You know, the beer essentials that you need for insurance.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
I know you end up like accumulating a lot of insurance.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Yeah, we'll get someone on tomorrow. Okay, I saw you
got Jonathan.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Bed the Heads that jonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
Just an article that you see me yesterday.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
Really, I'd spent about an hour and a half looking
into this way too much time, absolute wasted time. It
will serve me no good only for the next three
minutes on the radio, to be honest. And it's celebrities
who actually don't go by their birth name. Now a
lot of them change their name, don't they to be
a bit.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
More catchy and like a stage name.
Speaker 4 (15:58):
Yeah, legend, believe it or not.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
A legend.
Speaker 7 (16:03):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
I think I do now, he said, you say yeah,
John Stevens. Stevens, That yeah, John legend sounds a lot better.
And the New Zealand are going to call themselves John
legend without being both bold call Johnny's awesome John.
Speaker 4 (16:25):
He was John Stevens and his friends started calling him
John legend before he was John Legion, and he just
stuck with it. Doesn't seem like a name you would
come out with you.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
That's what he's saying.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
They all call me a legend.
Speaker 4 (16:39):
Yeah, you couldn't come out with Hey, you guys are
going to be now known as Benny cool Guy. Okay,
Vin Diesel, believe it or not, I wasn't didn't come
out of the.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Universes of Diesel unlettered ninety eight.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
He was a bouncer in New York for many years.
Van Diesel Is he a vernie?
Speaker 2 (16:59):
No?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Mark sing Clear, that's weird, Mark Sinclear.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yeah, and so then he changed his name.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Apparently his mum has got Vin in her name and
obviously loved Diesel and creating holes in the O layer.
So yeah, that's then that makes you feel better about
yourself that you know someone wasn't that call. Wasn't born
with a name like that, Adam Richard Wiles.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Have you got any idea who that would be?
Speaker 4 (17:33):
No, Adam Richard Wilds Calvin Harris. I feel like Calvin's
switched one boring white man accounting name for another boring
white man accounting name.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
If he picked it, why did he go with?
Speaker 7 (17:46):
Well?
Speaker 4 (17:46):
The reason is his first single was quite sold, his
album was quite sole in R and B, so he
thought the name Calvin Harris was ambiguous.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
If you heard it, you wouldn't know what case. Calvin
Harris was right, Okay, you know your mail back in
the day where you like, you come up with something
and then you're like, oh, I wish i'd changed that,
you know, but you're it's too late. I feel like
you're in that situation with your Gmail.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Yeah that's my Gmail. And every time someone you go
somewhere and they're like, what's your email?
Speaker 2 (18:12):
And you're like a little bit of me dies inside.

Cockbourn or Coburn? Never know?
Speaker 6 (18:23):

you're going to go a cruise all day. It's crazy
when you.

She's she was Suri Cruise.
Speaker 4 (19:28):
Yeah, she's adopted nothing hasn't she got?

option for cooking dinner and I was like, we'll just
go easy, We'll go out. I'll take my two daughters out.
We'll just get something to eat and we were sitting
down and we're kind of hanging out, and normally we
(20:25):
are like, I'm quite good. Only bring a little game
that we can do, like a card game or something
like that.
Speaker 3 (20:29):

It's like cardspace because everyone puts their.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
Phones down and at least you kind of get to
do something together. And but I've forgotten yesterday and my rush,
and so we were trying to think of I was
trying to think of an activity game. So I was
teaching the girls. You know that slaps game that you
used to play at school. Hold your hands in front
of the other person and then you get to slap
their hands or move away like that, and you can
flinch and stuff like that. So we were we're having fun,
(21:11):
the three of us having fun slapping each other's hands.
And next to us was another table with another dad
and his daughter's as well, and they went doing the
slaps game.
Speaker 6 (21:21):
The.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Game with all the glasses and it was probably a
little loud and obnoxious, but we're having we're having fun
doing it. And then our meals arrived and we started
to eat and I noticed that they were about to
go into a game next to us, the people, and
I was like, oh, what's I didn't play the game.
And one of the kids goes, can we play the
Capitals game? And I was like, oh, what's And you know,
(21:44):
when you're having a meal, and but you're also.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Listening to find it, run.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
What's the Capital's game? And it was what you think.
The dad would start listing countries and these two two
kids were younger than my kids, but start listing countries
and he would go Australia and then they'd go camera
and then I was like I didn't even know that.
I was like, I was going there, easy, easy money,
New Zealand. Well looked at you know, things like that.
(22:09):
But then dear god, they got into some countries like
it was so impressive. And I couldn't say anything because
I was eaves dropping the whole time, but they were
going into yeah, Madagascar, Romania, the Million Republic, you know, Morocco.
I was like, these kids knew all the capitals. I
was like, that's incredible. And if you guys here the
slap going from me playing slaps like a minute before
(22:33):
with my kids to these amazing kids that you are
these cameras.

that in life? Maybe if they playing the Alpha quiz, Yeah.

My family told off there. Next we're talking your cash
stash and what was found at a grandparents house. Unbelievable
story will fill your next on the hill everything you
own in a box?
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Do left the heads that John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
A couple on christ Church found just recently two hundred
and thirty two thousand dollars in the ceiling two and two.
Now they've been living in their house for a wee
bit a time. Uh, and they rang the police, which
is you know, the right thing to do. And now
it's gone to the High Court to who is basically
who can get the money because no one has come
(27:49):
forward to claim the money. But the police believe that
the money was through illegitimate purposes, Well they can't prove it,
so a legitimate game. Well, they're saying that a person
who used to live the house before them had ties
to gangs. It's the way the money's laid out was
probably how the gangs would probably lad out. Okay, well
let's give you through illegitimate games. Well that's what they think.
But the couple has also gone to court and saying, well, hey,
(28:09):
it's in our house. We found it. I feel like
it should be our money to keep it.
Speaker 4 (28:13):
And so the police are like, we're really striking financially.
We can really do with the cash the government slash
in our budgets.
Speaker 3 (28:19):
If what happens to that money? If the police are like,
well it's our property.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
I don't know. Yeah, it's really interesting thing. It's gone
to the High Court in christ Ytch. But two hundred
and thirty two thousand dollars and two thousand dollars, as
someone saying, who's a bit of an expert, firstly, you
should call the police if you find that amount of money.
But then if you do keep it, what happens that
people the people come back for them, you know, like
come back for the money.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Move house and keep it like that.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
If it is through illegitimate purposes, then someone somewhere knows
probably about the money, and that would be a kind
of scary scenes.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Well, I think about if they've forgotten about it, they're
now reminded about it. Yeah, yeah, no, good point. I'd
definitely be backing out of that cash now. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:00):
Your friend of ours are just saying the other day,
speaking of finding money stored around the house, The grandparents
sadly passed away this year and the family went over
to the house you're tidy up the affairs, you know,
and they just found hundreds of thousands of dollars just
stashed away all throughout the house in jars under the mattress,
(29:20):
in the mattress, out in the shed, in like little
petrol candises.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Cash everywhere like it look.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
Like the cash of an illegal arms dealer or something,
the household of a llegal arms dealer. So they edited
it all up and hundreds of thousands of dollars. This
grandparent just did not trust your modern day financial banking
institutions and there's a lot of that generation who don't.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
Say you're the person so you've got a family, but
you're the person who's cleaning up your grandparents' house. You
find all that money, what do you do? Do you
tell your family or you're just like, oh my god,
this is a true ure hunt money. Oh yeah, there
was a couple of hundred bucks.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
No I'd tell, but because I wouldn't be able to
sleep at night.
Speaker 4 (30:04):
The banks are they're always like the banks always trying
to steal your money. But then I'm like, well, if
you got your cash, get it all over the house,
you're just gonna live it to an old school Robert
to steal your money.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
And then if the house, you know, if the head
and fire or something, all the money has gone up
and smoke.
Speaker 3 (30:16):
Let's try buy myself a new pillow to help me
sleep at night and not tell anyone.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
Okay, oh eight hundred the heads, this is what we
want to open up. What did you find in the grandparents'
stash when you were clearing out their house. Some of
them could go decades without even going into a bank.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
Oh yeah, and I imagine too also items you know
that probably could be worth quite a lot to take
he looms. Yeahlom found the hearlooms.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
It's nothing worse though than taking like this a gorgeous
looking watch which is wapened to me. I was like,
this is a legit beautiful watch and take it in
to get it like valued. And you're like, I've got
an hear loom and they're like, oh no, those are
cubics that currently as and half of them are falling out.
That's worth nothing. Okay, what's sentimental?
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Heads four four eight seven?
Speaker 4 (31:00):
What did you find in the grand os stash when
you were clearing out their house?
Speaker 2 (31:03):
Would love to get your calls on.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
This morning the hats that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
Just talking about what you found at your grandparents place.
You're just saying a story too.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
A couple found over a quarter of a million dollars
in the roof of their house and now they're going
they handed into the police. It's gone to the High Court.
They believe they own the money. The police are like, no,
you don't. We think it was gained through illegitimate actions.
And then someone's text and said, if the police win
the court case, the money goes to the crown. Right
is that the royals they need more money.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
I think it's just in general the government. Yeah, well
there we're going.
Speaker 4 (31:38):
That's what will happen to the cash and the lawyers too,
they don't get their fees out of it too.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Surely it's going to the High Court. Yeah, oh, thet's
telephone number. Though. What have you managed to find?
Speaker 4 (31:48):
And your grandparents stash a friend of ours, whole bunch
of cash hidden right throughout the house when the grandparents
passed away. Cash in the deep freeze, cash under the couch,
under the bed, and the mattress, cash you everywhere.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
Good morning to you, Good morning, lovely to have you
on Teagan.
Speaker 11 (32:06):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
You're right, your grandparents passed away and what'd you find?
Speaker 11 (32:11):
Well, actually it was before they passed away. My papa
was going into a home, so my parents had to
go clear out his house. And he was a bit
of a hoarder and so it was a big action.
And then my parents decided at the same time, they're like, oh,
we're taking all the stuff to them, we'll clear out
our house. At the same time they cleared out their house,
cleared out some of his house, went back a couple
of days later to keep working on the place. And
(32:34):
they found a whole lot of new stuff there and
they said to mom, where did all this come from?
And he said, oh, my friend dropped it off. He
wanted me to fix these things up. And they said,
that's not true, because this is all the stuff from
our house that we took to the dump. And he'd
gone and rifled through the dump and took all this stuff.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Oh so here's i e.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
They get rid of my stuff, I'll sneakily go back
and get it all back.
Speaker 11 (32:54):
You all get some more back, yeah, exactly, And took
all that stuff and tried to.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Lie about it.
Speaker 4 (33:00):
Was it was he one of those sort of people
that you'd see on a documentary on a Wednesday night
on TV.
Speaker 11 (33:05):
Absolutely, he had about seventeen fridges that he was going
to pick.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
Oh wow, was.

Going to one day.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
The hallway a packed, you couldn't walk through the house
or anything.
Speaker 11 (33:15):
It wasn't too because he had quite a big place
and he had a big sleepout in the whole sleepout
in the garage was all full that his house is
the part where he lived, and wasn't too bad.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
Eventually you get around to fixing seventeen fridges. Yeah, well
that a great story. Thank you so much, Ta, you
can really do appreciate it.

Mainly my hair and our souls. I hear that actually
a really cool thing to do, But no, I was.
Speaker 4 (35:24):
Love and it's what it was. The word I'm trying
to think of. This is why I should have gone
to broadcast. When you're in a room full of people
and they're looking at you and they're like no, They're like,
you're doing the job I want to do, and you're like.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
That's an honor. Oh yeah, it's a little scary because

Speaker 2 (35:44):
Game. I want to play with you two.
Speaker 4 (35:45):
And now this is something that is not acknowledged by
the wider public. That is a skill from radio that
you would have learned over the years. And it is
annoyingly talking over the introductions of songs. Oh god, okay,
what we what we love in the radio industry. And
this is like a fashion designer creating the perfect garment.
Is when you talk and you end what you're saying
(36:07):
right next to the lyrics, the beginning of the lyrics.
Speaker 3 (36:09):
It's called heading the post.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (36:11):
So what I want to do right now is this

a computer. Computer's logged off.

clock ticking down to will you go up to the intro? Now,
this is this is stuff radio we should have talked yesterday.

Okay, So Megan, you can go first, shut your eyes.
Shut your eyes.
Speaker 4 (36:32):
Okay, I'm not even going to tell you the song.

the game. Good luck, here we go.

Good morning.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
How are you well.
Speaker 7 (38:47):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
We didn't think this was going to happen. We didn't
think we're going to be able to connect to you
because big news here in New Zealand. I don't know
if it's reached you, but we had a competition on
our radio station for listeners to vote for the best
song ever of all time, and you took it out.
After hundreds of battles, Summer of sexty nine was voted
in New Zealand's number one song.
Speaker 7 (39:06):
Quality.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
You seem thrilled we've got you.
Speaker 4 (39:12):
We printed out a certificate for you to come and
collect to New Zealand. You know it's got your face
on there, your picture. It's his congratulations Brian Adams on
having the best song ever.
Speaker 7 (39:24):
I look really happy in that one.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
You do.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Yeah. I don't know whether the photo was taken or anything,
but we worked hard on some clip art on Microsoft
and we've made that up for you so when you
come into New Zealand, because I know you're about to
come to New Zealand, you can swing by and pick
it up.
Speaker 3 (39:41):
I don't know where that's going to set in relation
to all the accolades you've had in your career but
we've got.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
It for you.
Speaker 7 (39:47):
Nice one.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
We saw you performing the Taylor Swift. I think you
were actually ironically performing Summer of sexty nine. It was
just remember we printed you a certificate. I was really
hoping certificate with gone down a bit better. But anyway, I.
Speaker 7 (40:08):
Just love the happy photo show.
Speaker 2 (40:09):
Yeah, are you happier in this photo there? Or you're
happier now on the zoom call.
Speaker 7 (40:15):
I'll give you that. I give you that picture here.
You can make a screech out of it.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
Beautiful. Yeah, there we go. We're gonna have Okay, that's
gonna be that. We'll make you a new certificate because
that one didn't get a draft.
Speaker 3 (40:26):
So you'd be playing with Taylor Swift. Is there a
band or is there a collaboration that you would like
to do?
Speaker 7 (40:32):
No, really, I don't really think about it that way.
Speaker 6 (40:34):
Is it usually these things kind of fall into place,
you know, I don't know. You sort of think about
something that it would be a good idea, and then
you try and make it happen, like when I did
with Tina Turner back in back years and years ago,
or someone else comes to you and I'll get an
idea for you at.
Speaker 2 (40:49):
Those moments when you do get to play with Taylor
Swift or you play with Bruce Springsteen and stuff like that.
Is that I mean, I guess you've been doing it
for so long that's you probably don't get nervous anymore,
even like with meeting the Queen and all those amazing
things you've done.
Speaker 7 (41:01):
No, you do get nervous.
Speaker 6 (41:03):
I mean, you always want to deliver on a super
high level, and you know, if you're working with people
that you really like, you want to make sure you
do a good job. Working with both, you know, Taylor
and Bruce was really fun and I don't think they
were nervous, but it was fun because Bruce and I
were practicing backstage. I think I can't speak for Bruce personally,
(41:23):
but I know that for me it really helped sort
of make things easier when we got on stage together.
Speaker 2 (41:29):
How are you right now with the nerves talking to us?
Never mind, I'm to be honest, I'm a little nervous
talking to you, but I'm you seem to be handling
a lot better than me.
Speaker 4 (41:40):
Do you know when, because you've written so many hit songs,
do you know when you've written a dud? And at
what point do you go, oh, there, I better throw
this one in the bin.
Speaker 7 (41:48):
H Yeah, you.
Speaker 6 (41:49):
Know pretty quickly, actually, especially if you know you're playing
for somebody and they start talking to somebody else, or.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
At least politely sit there and bob my head.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
And then when you asked me, how do you think that,
when I was like, that's great, but it's fantastic.
Speaker 6 (42:04):
I think you do know. But you know, sometimes a
dud can become a hit if you work on it
long enough.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
So when you wrote Summer of sixty nine, when you're
in the throes of creating that song, did you know
it was going to be a messive.
Speaker 2 (42:19):
Hurt because I think I was reading that you was
almost didn't get on the album. Was that true or
was that just something that lied to me on Wikipedia?
Speaker 6 (42:24):
The fact is that when we were making that song,
it went through various stages, like it went through two
or three demos.
Speaker 7 (42:34):
And I recorded it twice. I had no idea.
Speaker 6 (42:36):
I mean I don't have any idea, but any of
my songs, if they have if they are going to
do it or not, you just you make it as
good as you can make it at the time, and
that's it.
Speaker 2 (42:45):
Obviously, must love what you're doing. It probably seems like
a stupid question. You're coming back to New Zealand. Christ
yich Auckland so happy it hurts tour with James Arthur.
But you know you could not be doing this, traveling
the world, playing to thousands of people. What do you
still love about it after all the years?
Speaker 7 (43:00):
This is something above music. It's just what it hits.
You feel no pain.
Speaker 2 (43:04):
It's a lovely You should turn it into a song.
Speaker 7 (43:07):
It actually is a song. It's a song by by
Marlon Oh.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
Well, there you go.
Speaker 4 (43:12):
Someone's beating you to the world.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
I'm bored. Thank you so much for answering our zoom link.

Oh my god, oh you here? Song or songs between

was something we do the rounds on TikTok. It's become
a news as well. Came from a lady in Australia
talking to her I think a six year old child
(44:51):
about some of the names in the child's class and
she came to the realization that there's names that you
think are just for you and I Megan john O
that just feel like your normal stocks out the names
suddenly slipping into old person name category because there's no
kids been called these names anymore.
Speaker 4 (45:08):
No, they're called like Daisy organ or you know, chulip
butterists and stuff.
Speaker 3 (45:14):
They feels like they just look at items.
Speaker 2 (45:18):
Yes, yes, she asked her six year old child. She
had an eight year and six year old. She asked
them if these names like Sarah, Alex, Jack or Daniel
seems pretty were any of them in their classes?
Speaker 10 (45:28):
Do you have anyone in your year called Sarah or
Alex or Jack or Daniel? And she laughed, She's like
the old people names.
Speaker 12 (45:36):
And I'm like, how about I don't know, like Ryan,
like Steph, like any of those names Michelle, and she's
like no, And then she's like, no, we've got like
these names I can't even actually saying myself. And it
just makes me realize that we are now that generation
that was our parents, generation that was like names like god,
(45:56):
I don't know, like Karen Helen, know what I mean, Joanna.
Speaker 2 (46:00):
Yeah, So there goes your realization for her and us
that the names that we thought, you know, well, there's
just the common names. There's something old person names. Yeah,
trying to.
Speaker 3 (46:10):
Think of my kids class. I know there's a Michael
in there, which is pretty good.
Speaker 1 (46:14):
Mike.
Speaker 2 (46:15):
Yeah, it's a good name. Yeah, the best. He's an
interesting new age name too. You've got a best.
Speaker 3 (46:20):
Yeah, yeah, it's different. My daughter's name is Aya, and
I thought that was weird. But there's another Aya in
there with her.
Speaker 1 (46:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (46:28):
Now they're going to become the old people names in
thirty years or so.
Speaker 2 (46:31):
So what we wanted to do? Hundred? The hat's four
fur eight seven. You give us a call. You toss
your name and then we'll work out if you're over
thirty five or under thirty five? Oh okay, have you
got it by your name? We'll try and think if
it's an old and you can stomp us if you want,
maybe a younger person with her with a name like.
Speaker 4 (46:45):
Steve okay or Luck Cucumber yeah, oh yeah, maybe or
a name like that I made up name, clearly made
up name.
Speaker 2 (46:54):
But there's someone else there called Luck. You care one hundred.
That's four four eight seven. We've got some help eats
if we get it wrong.
Speaker 4 (47:00):
You feel like this game has got huge scope to offend, well,
potentially this has Ben's worth.
Speaker 3 (47:04):
Not married all of you easily offended.
Speaker 2 (47:07):

Although an Australian parent gobsmacked that there weren't these basic,
stock standards, tried and true names in her child's clubs.
Speaker 10 (47:40):
You have anyone in your year called Sarah or Alex
or Jack or Daniel And she laughed, She's like the
old people names.
Speaker 2 (47:48):
Old people names. There's stock standard names. That's responsibility. You know,
you feel it as parents naming your child right, and
people say on social media, which is quite true, you
never realize how many people you just like until you're
naming names. You're like, what about such and such an
I know such as.
Speaker 3 (48:05):
Combatian was going to be a Sebastian and we were like,
oh no, there's a Sebastian. We know that we're we
need to change it.

to say about Sebastian from.

Speaker 3 (48:21):
You know, that's where Sebastian came from. So technically he's
a crab or or whatever.
Speaker 2 (48:26):
So this is a fun game. Okay.
Speaker 4 (48:27):
You just say your name and then we decide if
you're over thirty or under thirty. Okay, if you get
it based on the name, we might get it wrong
just based on name alone. Sometimes voice can be a
bit of a teller too, can't it. Let's start things
