The Jim Hinson I think created a lot of the
characters as well.

There is those orange dogs things that pulled the heads
off and bounce them as basketball.

Speaker 4 (01:33):
That was terrifying.

Speaker 1 (01:34):

Yeah, yeah, concernedn't Oscar along. I took my daughter seeing
her along. Yeah, it was. It was cool like for
one dune and it's sort of DJ on stage. It
was pretty impressive. How you like a sort of stage
that sort of snaked through the crowd on a Yeah,
I kept losing sight of him, Like you look at
the screen and you're like, where's he out? Because he

(02:43):
was very moved her ound quite a lot. Yeah, it
was absolutely spectacle.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
Let you say, one man with a microphone and DJ
and about nine million dollars of pyrotechnic he puts on
a show.

Speaker 5 (02:53):
Yeah, because that was supposed to be on Halloween.

Speaker 4 (02:55):
Right it was, and they moved it a day earlier.

Speaker 5 (02:57):
Was it very Halloween or no?

Speaker 4 (02:59):
That was if he wasn't Halloween? It was. And what
I appreciated about it.

Speaker 3 (03:05):
Was he's come out in a Nike sweat bend, a
Nike Active We're Top, some sort of weightlifting gloves as well.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
He's wearing in some.

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Cluchedes that you felt like you could have got from
a guest service station.

Speaker 3 (03:17):
And I'm like, if I it looks like he's just
dived into the lost and found min at snapped fitness.
But it's kind of cool and I tuned up to
work like that.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
You'd be like, what have you come through Stales today?

Speaker 6 (03:29):
Mate?

Speaker 3 (03:31):
I know?

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah, it was very cool and lots of people in
to work like a guess because he's got you know,
if you don't know, you know Trevor Scott, it means
not a rapper. But he got through Fortnite the game.
He became huge as well.

Speaker 5 (03:42):
So's baby daddy. I know him.

Speaker 4 (03:44):
Yeah. I had a moment too where I went up.

Speaker 2 (03:48):
I was chatting to Jeremy Wells, you know, lovely Jeremy Wells, handsome.

Speaker 5 (03:52):
Jern was and wait just wait while I pack up that.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yeah, I know, yeah, well I may say this because
it was an embarrassing situation for me.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
So I said hi to Jeremy Wells.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
He was ordering a drink at the bar and he'd
ordered his drink but I was chatting to him, and
then the lady came up to me and went zero
percent to me and then he was like oh. I went, oh, no,
I'll have a just a beer just and he was
like oh. And then Jeremy Well says to me. He goes, ah,
you must look like a zero percent guy, because he.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
Was like if you ordered a zero percent before, and
I was like, no, I haven't. I'm not not on
the night. I've had it before, but I'm not on
the night.

Speaker 5 (04:27):
But she was like her polite way, I'm trying to
cut you off.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
Yeah, he didn't even drink you.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
No, no, he was like, what drug just tired. He
was like, you were definitely a zero picent guy. So
he went away laughing at me.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
Zero Look, I'm cool. When I didn't even say anything, come.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
Straight up to me, this guy will be a zero
percent guy. And I mean, there's nothing there's no shame
in drinking zero percent.

Speaker 4 (04:50):
But there's a lot of stuff to do tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Guy, you know, and exactly. And I was like, at
this time in the morning, I'm thankful for that lady
and the zeros.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
That John and being podcasts.

Speaker 2 (05:01):
The US election is a Tuesday, American time at next
week and not too far away.

Speaker 4 (05:06):
And the choice is between this one.

Speaker 7 (05:08):
We have to stay woke, like everybody needs to be woke.

Speaker 8 (05:14):
And you can talk about if you're the wokest or woker,
but just stay more woke than less woke.

Speaker 4 (05:21):
All this one.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
I say that in all due respect to women, and
I love women.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
I love women.

Speaker 3 (05:29):
And Nicole is with us, our correspondent from New York
host to breakfast radio show over there in the in
the US.

Speaker 4 (05:36):
It's only a few days until the election. Nicole, Yeah, yeah, it's.

Speaker 7 (05:44):
No, it's okay.

Speaker 8 (05:44):
It's really common to a head and things are getting
uglier and uglier. The rallies are getting crazier and crazier,
and at this point, to be completely honest, when you
go on the internet, like if I go on TikToker, Instagram,
like any platform, at this point, I don't know what
to believe. I feel like there's so much misinformation that
people are just spewing random crap that Like, I'm kind
of just trying to like talk it out with my

(06:06):
friends and family and not make it.

Speaker 7 (06:08):
A whole thing.

Speaker 8 (06:08):
We don't talk about politics on the radio at least where.

Speaker 7 (06:10):
I am, because we try not to.

Speaker 8 (06:12):
Like it is, it will get ugly, right, you know,
there's just no place for it. But yeah, I definitely
don't feel awesome about it. I'm definitely have like that
oh feeling in my stomach and it's giving me anxiety,
but it'll come and go before we know it.

Speaker 7 (06:25):
And we'll be stuck with whatever we're stuck with.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
So I imagine it's a very divisive conversation amongst families too.

Speaker 4 (06:31):
You'd have Trump.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Supporters and Kamala supporters and mingling in families.

Speaker 8 (06:36):
Yeah, And I feel like it's gotten way dirtier than
it ever has in any past election. I mean, the
language that's being used in respect to describing each other
that our candidates has gotten.

Speaker 7 (06:47):
A little bit, a little bit nuts.

Speaker 8 (06:49):
I feel like it doesn't feel so presidential anymore.

Speaker 7 (06:53):
It feels very like is.

Speaker 8 (06:54):
This even for like the United like the president of
the United.

Speaker 7 (06:56):
States of America.

Speaker 8 (06:57):
It feels like I feel like we're literally in a
high school and we're trying to pick our class president.

Speaker 7 (07:04):
That's how absurd it is.

Speaker 5 (07:05):
What do you think the vibe is at the moment?
Then it keeps going back and forth.

Speaker 8 (07:09):
Yeah, I mean last week, I feel like Trump kind
of came like moved up a little bit. But then
we'll have like a rally like just happened like a
day or two ago that got very ugly. And then
now I see all over the place people are like
is this what you want as a president?

Speaker 7 (07:25):
I feel like it's.

Speaker 8 (07:26):
Been neck and neck, like she pulls ahead, then he
pulls ahead, then she pulls ahead. In my life, I've
never seen it this close. And this divided makes me
nervous because then whoever wins, we're gonna I don't I
worry about, like the downfall?

Speaker 7 (07:38):
Do you know the people that are not happy?

Speaker 3 (07:40):
The incredible It hasn't even been able to get my
hit around it. But even you a selection, you're like
the money that has spent on these campaign trails. Like honestly,
here in New Zealand, we've got our Prime Minister standing
in a used.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
Cayard with a bubble of rations. That's the campaign now.

Speaker 3 (07:55):
But over there just billions spin on just how to
get there and then once.

Speaker 8 (08:00):
Like the one candidate doesn't win, Like where does all
that money go to? It's just like it's gone. Like
I saw this. I don't know if it's like a
definite fact, but that the Kardashians are worth like together
around like three billion with the bet dollars, like like
the family, and that Donald Trump allegedly is worth about
two point six billions. So what does that tell you

(08:21):
about just life in America.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
But next week we'll catch up with you. Then that's
the Coal Live from New York, The Hits.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
That jonaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 3 (08:31):

family can play, apart from if your family has been

with this producer Elie, you've you've come in here.

Charlie excepts era.

Speaker 5 (12:25):
Pole, you need to make this a picture.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
Ben's passing tickets that Jona and Ben podcast.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
I feel I found out that I'm really neurotic about something.
I think you've runs in some areas of their life,
aren't they? And this morning I discovered as I was
unpacking the dishwasher.

Speaker 4 (12:44):
Okay, and I, for.

Speaker 3 (12:47):
Whatever reason, need all the glasses on the shelf to
be lined up perfectly and of the same size and design.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
Do you know how you buy about four pack of glasses.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
I can't have the those four glasses scattered around the
glass shelf.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
They need to be lined up tight. Okay. Yeah, the
same with teacups.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
You can't just have a random shelf for teacups for
some reason. But in so many other areas of my life,
I'm a complete sham.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
Whatever if they were in a drawer situation, but you
wouldn't mind too much there because different what do you mean, Sorry,
we put our mugs in a drawer, so you're like,
so they put it. They can't line them up, you know,
well by height. We could line them up by height,
but they're all kind of mixing together outside out of
mind by twitching.

Speaker 4 (13:29):
Yeah, it's just around the drawer of mugs. The thing
is mugs.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
Maybe because you're looking down on it, you can't see
the perspective of no.

Speaker 4 (13:36):
Yeah, yeah, it's the one thing I just I cannot forgive.
And you know, sometimes when we go away and my
parents come and stay and look after the dog. Oh mate,
they are mixed up.

Speaker 5 (13:46):
Yeah, you and my husband would get along.

Speaker 4 (13:48):

He also will only use a certain knife and four.
We've got two sets these. One set he cannot use,
just refuses to use if I accidentally put it on
the table.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
He's like.

Speaker 5 (14:07):
The other one.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
It's just that's funny.

Speaker 2 (14:10):
There are Yeah, Like my wife loves the tea cup
at night. She loves two particular cups out a lot.
I'm like, they're great cups. The other one is a
fine to I feel sorry for the other cups.

a really cool thing to be part of. Yeah, it
really was a little weird at the beginning.

Speaker 4 (15:17):

Many of you may be wondering, who are these strange
middle ages?

back to Bennie back to SAMII School.

Speaker 3 (15:56):
No man, no matter how old I am, as soon
as I walk into a school yard, feel like a
child again. We're hanging out with Sarah, who's the wonderful
principal of Saint Mary's, and she put out the best
tim tams on display in that office going into the
principal's office.

Speaker 5 (16:09):
I know, do you still feel scared? And did you
feel weird calling her Sarah?

Speaker 11 (16:13):
I did.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (16:15):
Yeah, even though she was younger than I still referred
to as missus.

Speaker 3 (16:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
So what we did is that she had arranged that
arrange a class of sort of students that potentially could
be prefects next year. So they were going and they
thought were having a bit of meeting about next year,
and then we came on and the two of us,
just JOHNA and I to come in, and they were like,
it was going to be an inspirational talk to inspire
the future prefects.

Speaker 4 (16:39):
Grown. Yet I think we did a little.

Speaker 5 (16:41):
When you guys came in, they're like.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
Oh yeah, we almost did, like a two men play
sort of fumbling our way at the rehearsed to be
so whispering and stuff like that, because we're going to
Tanker and then we're going to bring in as a
surprise popstar Bennie, who used to go to the school.

Yeah, yeah we are.

Speaker 4 (17:07):
Who's that?

Welcome to Saint Mary's College.

Speaker 4 (17:23):
This is your old school being. This is We're going
to take a trip down memory lane.

Speaker 2 (17:26):

Speaker 4 (17:29):
It's weird if you're not here, so it might be
a little bit definitely think call to the police.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
It was actually really cool and it was really awesome
to see through someone else's eyes, them going back to
their old school.

Speaker 4 (17:40):
She was like, Oh, that's this this classroom, that's where
this used to be.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
That's where I failed accounting. She was a gun water
polo player.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Yeah really, she caught music at some stage at one
stage because she was like, I'm going to play water
polo for New Zealand.

Speaker 4 (17:53):
That was her goal. And we went to the old
pool that she used to train him, and.

Speaker 5 (17:57):
What happened to the switchback.

Speaker 4 (17:59):
The switchback is to music.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
Well, I guess she went, I might as well become
an international popstar. Yeah, but her mom Tania was saying
she scored the winning goal at the nets.

Speaker 7 (18:09):
St Mary's came third in the national competitions. Stella was
the one that shot the winning penalty goal.

back to follow I'm really proud of the sport achievement.

She's doing pretty damn well in the music game and
also acting as well as benning as well. She's in

It was parked next to a golf course yesterday and
there was a wire fence on the car park and
across the fence was the golf course. Okay, now, there
was four signs that were strapped to the wire fence
facing the car park and facing the car apart, and
it's said, quote unquote damaged to vehicles by golf balls.

(21:12):
It's not the responsibility of the golf course. And I'm like,
who's responsibility, isn't it. I feel like because you're you're
the golf course. There's there's no other reason why golf
balls are there, and they're like not our.

Speaker 4 (21:24):
Problem, mate?

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Is that name is to say you part your car here?
That's on you pretty much right. But I'm parking a
car park.

Speaker 4 (21:31):
I don't put it an actual car park needed to
do with the golf course. But it's just a car park. Yeah,
badly placed. Yeah, it does seem very badly placed.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
But maybe they're like, hey, well just you know you
can't yeah, you can't park here, but well you can,
but that you may have some golf balls in your car.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
It's basically the golf course going, hey, we warned your breath. Yeah,

by some electrical cables and it said warning, touching these
electrical cables can cause this and incur a two hundred
dollar five.

Speaker 4 (22:12):
I didn't know. I don't know which order that came.
As you're going, they're like, buddy, two hundred bucks.

Speaker 5 (22:18):
Then if you survive and then you get with a
turn dollar five.

Speaker 4 (22:22):
Yeah, you haven't dealt with enough or there's something come
along ago. I'm very sorry about your last the spiral
manner of about two hundred dollars five, cleaning up the
hem at the back ends. Just you know, you understand, right,
you know you've got to I've got a job to do. Yeah,

yourw hundred bucks though, don't you know that rolls and rolls.

we live that you've had scare crows and all sorts
of smoke machines.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
You had to kind of go through and they theme
it every year. They change it out. It's pretty cool.

Speaker 6 (29:47):
Yeah, it's a nice when there's the whole street though,
because otherwise you're just going straight up to street for
one house.

Speaker 4 (31:52):
Haven't got anymore? Yeah, that's the there's a silver lining now.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
I know.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
I've been begging on a lot about my laptop last
few days. Obviously my laptop got just destroyed with drink
bottle incidents at Fried.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
Basically now no one knows. We can't stress enough how
important Ben's laptop is to it in this job.

Speaker 4 (32:12):
It feels like, you know, like it. It's like going
along to the building site not having a hammer.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
I feel like you would go happily without your laptop
for five days, Megan, Yeah, where it's been.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
He couldn't even with you at all times, at all
times night, at all times.

Speaker 3 (32:26):
He had worn out to the keys on the laptop.
The letters, you couldn't even see the letters. He typed
so many furious typing emails. Yeah, so anyway, my laptop
is no longer, no longer with us that on flybys.
It's been a big take guy, it's a big day.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
But I had been thinking for the last couple of
years because my laptop hasn't got enough space. I bought
one with not enough space in it, and it's been
one of those things that always annoyed me. I always
try and clear space and always have a little reminder going,
and it's running and kneedes on my space. I'm like,
I can't give you any more space. So I got
couldn't even like downloaded. My phone had more like space
on it than the computer, Like it's got more photos
on it the computer.

Speaker 4 (33:02):
I told you how much space. I just I couldn't
work with that.

Speaker 2 (33:05):
So I had been thinking for a couple of years,
thinking what some stage I needed to upgrade. But there's
a lot of money, and you don't really want to
pay that money.

Speaker 4 (33:12):
It's a wild amount of care. And finally, I.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Guess the laptop broke, you know, got destroyed, and so
I was like, okay, I was like, here we go.
Last couple of days of my I just god of
just got to buy the ball and buy a new laptop.
And I even looked online and I was looked at research.
I was like, okay, this is the one I want
to get. But I guess I hadn't told my family,
my kids did that that was what I was going
to do. But yesterday, after I picked up one of
my daughters from school, I was like, she's going to

(33:35):
call into the shop. She comes in with me and
we'll go into the shop and and the guys like
can I help me. I'm like, yeah, I'll take that.
And my door's like what and the guy's like what.
I was like, yeah, that laptop is do you want
to see it? I'm like, no, that's it, we'll take it. God.
And my door's like who is this guy? That was
the coll And she was like, wow, that's the coolest
you ever going to look like.

Speaker 5 (33:54):
You just walked straight.

Speaker 4 (33:56):
Now you have that and stop, I'll take it now.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
And I walked out. She's like you have money, yes,
I do know that's money I spent and just that's sick.
And and you walked on out and I'm like, yeah,
that's the coolest of inside. You're going.

Speaker 5 (34:09):
The things You've done a lot of a lot.

Speaker 2 (34:11):
Of research, two years of thinking about jeez, I don't
know if I could do it.

Speaker 4 (34:15):
It's a lot of money. And I'm like, yesterday walked straight.
I was in the rock, like I know. I was like,
maybe that's what it feels like to do those things.

Speaker 3 (34:22):
Yeah, well you go and by I'll take it, drive
it off the lots. And I was like five years
intense research from saving that's gone into it.

Speaker 4 (34:30):
And that guy he will you've got some good store
creed down. He'll be like he just walked in here.
He's like, do you want to see the other ones
and not the one.

Speaker 6 (34:37):
The only way you could have been cooler is if
you're win in with a water cash and like slepped
it down.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
So we don't accept cash, give him a twenty by
yourself something nice mate, that's b Yeah.

Speaker 4 (34:48):
And then so I've got it back. I don't need
to bang on about laptop you got fly by. I
was like, oh no, I meaning to get that.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
The hits that johnaan Ben podcast that.

resonated with you Megan.

You can use your phone if someone's attacking you the
butt of your phone.

Speaker 4 (35:49):
Who's actually going to think about that though someone attacks me,
I'm not going to go phone.

fun out of the comedy buzz, but.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
Yeah, she was basket But a great point. It was
a really great point. And that's why that's gone viral.
Like the jokes had continued, it wouldn't have gone viral
because she made a really, really valid point. I even
thought about that last night at the Trevis Scott concert
walking through with my daughter and there's a lot of
you know, go downstairs, a lot of drunken people, and
you know she's got friends and stuff that were going
by them.

Speaker 4 (36:56):

when we were on the road for that I have
never tour.

Speaker 5 (37:11):
We dropped Bent off at the supermarket.

Speaker 6 (37:13):
It was dark, it was night, and I made a
joke as we dropped you off, like you said you
were going to walk home.

Speaker 5 (37:18):
To me and producer Ali, we were like okay, so
I said to you, put your keys between your fingers.

Speaker 4 (37:24):
I said, clench your cheeks.

Speaker 5 (37:27):
But then we started talking to John He's like, what
are you talking about with the keys?

Speaker 6 (37:30):
And I was like, well, this is something I think
every girl intrinsically like thinks about or knows or is
taught to put your keys between your fingers so that
if you have to get into some sort of altercation,
you've got a whippin. And then also like you'd have
your phone in your hand, so when they're making jokes
about the phone as a whip, and I was like, well,
I would always have my keys between my fingers in

(37:52):
one hand and my phone and the other so either
I can call for help or use it to whack someone.
And that is something that women just deal with on
the daily. And that was the That was what Susha
was trying to get across.

Speaker 4 (38:06):
I remember you're saying.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
Actually a while ago, because John I was talking about
in the morning sometimes after a run, you lie on
the pavement outside, you know, like by your house. I'm
an unusual care and looking at you know, and mecans.
I would never do that alone at that time of
the morning. I would just that would put me in
a dangerous situation.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
To do that.

Speaker 5 (38:23):
No way.

Speaker 9 (38:24):
I love running in the morning, but now that we
were at mornings, I can't do that anymore. It's just
a reality for me. I can't do it anymore.

Speaker 5 (38:29):
Because as soon as it goes dark, too risky.

Speaker 4 (38:31):
Yeah, none of that. Many people would lie on the
pavements house, you know, that's in your own house. You
wouldn't do that. You wouldn't do that.

Speaker 2 (38:38):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (38:38):
Yeah, it's a different world out so you basically wander
around like wolverine with keys out at all times, ready
to strike.

Speaker 6 (38:46):
If you see a woman walking by herself and it's dark,
do you say it doesn't matter what time it is,
they will be hyper alert of every single thing around them.
We listen, we look, We constantly are aware of who
is behind us. That's that's just the general state that we.

Speaker 4 (39:02):
Well, that's the same reality society.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
See.

Speaker 2 (39:04):
I don't at no point with that crossed my mind. Yeah,
and I think that's because I'm not I'm not rest.
I was last night worrying for myself as well up
individual individual. I do worry at all about myself as well.
Yeah yeah, but I've never been in a fight before
and would be no good.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
In a fight.

Speaker 4 (39:22):
I know we skeed you this morning, and so what
do you do with the key? Where does that go?

Speaker 6 (39:28):
Well, my dad's just ticks me and said he told
me about that. He also told me some other stuff.
Remember that I wouldn't repeat on radio what I would
do if I was in a situation, but he told
me that when I was really young, and I still
remember it, so you'd get your the sharp but a
lot of keys are like those plastic nobby things now.
But if you've got an older car, the sharp bit,
if you clinch your first, it goes between your fingers

(39:50):
and we you just put it.

Speaker 10 (39:52):
You can.

Speaker 4 (39:57):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (39:59):
Today and probably reminded for guys listening as well that
you to how intimidating you can come across, maybe have
intended to you, maybe had a few drinks, things like that. Yeah,
it can make more of an effort to make people
everyone feel a bit more safe and comfortable.

Speaker 4 (40:11):
Totally.

Speaker 9 (40:12):
You might not be a scary man, but it's just
that there's the odd one that is, and so we
have to assume that all of you are, which sucks
for the for the nice guys, it really does. And
I think that joke on the couch there it just
reflected that I understand the joke, and I can see
why they thought that. I don't even blame them. I
don't have any hate towards those men for laughing or
anything like that. But it was just one of those
moments that I think actually triggered all woman deep down,
and people didn't realize that not in a nasty way.

(40:33):
It's just a moment of wait, why are they walking
thinking about using a phone?

Speaker 6 (40:36):
They laughed, and I didn't get it because I was like,
I would use the phone as a whipp it totally.

Speaker 5 (40:39):
That's the way he's in there. I think it's just
a different reality we all live in, you know.

Speaker 4 (40:43):
Yeah, but she did suck the life out of.

Speaker 1 (40:47):
That johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 2 (40:49):

on a Barbie and King costume.

Speaker 5 (41:40):
It was a great outfit.

Speaker 4 (41:40):
Yeah, but then a roller bade costume.

Speaker 3 (41:43):
Yeah, now you've got your here died like kid any year,
the topicalities passed on. I know, maybe it has talking
scary movies though, the films that traumatized you as a child.

Speaker 4 (41:54):
What was it for you? Megan candy Man?

Speaker 6 (41:56):
Watch candy Man at my friend Casey mcclennan's house. I
don't think appearance were there and we thought that was
a good idea.

Speaker 5 (42:02):
I think I was like ten.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
That's the problem because I somehi't say that. The kids,
they're like, what's this movie like you? And it's hard
to know, you know, because once you watch it, you
can't unwatch it.

Speaker 4 (42:11):
It's in your brain forever.

Speaker 3 (42:13):
Sometimes things don't stack up and they're not as scary
as we found them.

Speaker 4 (42:16):
Yeah, so that you know, technologies passed on, You're like,
what was so scared?

Speaker 8 (42:21):
Of this.

Speaker 4 (42:22):
Watch Ghostbusters and they're like, this is this is terrible.
This is very slow and terrible.

Speaker 2 (42:27):
But then you get scared about something else, like on
Charlie and the Chocolate Fatchy, the original Willy Wonker, it's
some scariest's creepy. There was some creepy stuff, the guy
with the candy store at the start. It wasn't intentionally
meant to be creepy, but there I found that creepy.

Speaker 3 (42:39):
Yeah, it's definitely definitely an investigation that was needed to
be had there.

Speaker 2 (42:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (42:44):
Yeah, the Witches terrified me. Oh yeah, roll du the
movie The Witches?

Speaker 5 (42:49):
Was it a bit middler? She was the main witch?

Speaker 4 (42:52):
They were was she that the witch focus?

Speaker 2 (42:56):
And they were all with you with the mice and
all sorts of stuff and they were eating all those
since Lee morning to you, good morning.

Speaker 4 (43:04):
This wasn't a movie that terrified you as a child,
but your child.

Speaker 13 (43:07):
Yes, yes, my big boy.

Speaker 4 (43:09):
What happened?

Speaker 13 (43:10):
So we me and my ex separated when my kids
were little, and obviously he started having some time with
his dad and they came back and told me that
he was allowed to watch the movie for.

Speaker 4 (43:28):
Sorry at what age?

Speaker 13 (43:33):
And he was already quite but he had already had
night tears as it was anyway, so it took a
few years actually to get him like settled sleeping in
his own bed again. But yeah, it was quite quite brutal.

Speaker 4 (43:49):
Classic son of a bit she's husband behavior.

Speaker 13 (43:51):
It This MoMA did a bit of a hacker towards him.

Speaker 4 (43:57):
But he's likely to listen to you now, Oh well
is he all right? Now?

Speaker 13 (44:05):
Here's all right?

Speaker 2 (44:05):
Now?

Speaker 13 (44:06):
Yeah, he's a good kid.

Speaker 4 (44:07):
Oh good idea.

Speaker 3 (44:08):
So well, let's keep these coming through telephone. Umber four
four eight seven.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
Movies that have traumatized you, The hits that johnaan Ben
podcast talking about.

Speaker 4 (44:16):
The movies that you watch that scared you often as
a child.

Speaker 6 (44:20):
Can I put one out there that I've just remembered
and I don't think many people would have watched it.
It was Paul Walker from Fast and Furious. He did
a scary movie. It was called joy Ride and it's
about this like killer in a truck and he's like
following them around. It's asually really good. So maybe that's
like a niche one. You can watch this Halloween.

Speaker 3 (44:38):
Jeez, you love to transport movies, didn't he? Paul has
it got a Cara track, Sign me up?

Speaker 4 (44:44):
Boss?

Speaker 3 (44:45):
Are people walker? But actually, just speaking of thriller, turnya
the Thriller video?

Speaker 4 (44:49):
What did that do to you?

Speaker 1 (44:51):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (44:52):
My gosh, they put it on.

Speaker 14 (44:53):
I was like four years old and I was at
KNDy and.

Speaker 13 (44:58):
I'm a big Michael Jackson FA. Now they had to
call my dad from.

Speaker 15 (45:02):
Work to come pick me out.

Speaker 3 (45:05):
It seems like a odd bit of content for them
to put on back in the back in the day.
And it would have taken a lot of effort to
put on the thriller music video at kindergarten. Right, you
would have to get the vhs out, roll the TV
on the wheel.

Speaker 4 (45:18):
Right, the kids will love this, no points through that process.
Did any red flags pop up for the teachers?

Speaker 13 (45:24):
Oh that's eighties for you.

Speaker 4 (45:27):
Yeah it was character Didn't it Quite a scary video,
wasn't it.

Speaker 2 (45:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (45:31):
When the creepy look of Michael Jackson at the end, Yeah,
we'll kind of haunt.

years old?

Speaker 2 (45:40):

Speaker 4 (45:41):
Wow, let's throw the video. Do you have an impact
on that?

projectile vomiting everywhere like a twenty two year old of
the Three Day Music Visics.

It's like a thresh that like.

Speaker 5 (46:32):
A fresh slasher, pressure slasher where.

Speaker 15 (46:37):
The dogs come to life and just start telling off
all the people.

Mum came in and banged on the other side of
the caravan. In the middle of the movie, everyone peed themselves.
It's unfortunate things with that sort of happens. In a
scary bit of the movie, This is the Exorcist again.
Multiple votes for The Exorcists on four for Age seven.

Speaker 2 (47:44):
I found Freddy Krueger The Nightmare on Elm Street scary
because that was about going we get you in your dreams,
so you'd have to go to sleep and then.

Speaker 4 (47:52):
You're like, oh no, he's going to get me in
your dreams. That was a scary concept. Terrible skin crous
tea or something like that to do.

Speaker 4 (49:18):
What did no one call the police on this guy?
He's just around calling it. Hell, it looks like he was.
It's kind of his job.

Speaker 2 (49:25):
He was like sort of like the dogs and pounds
sort of situation, rounding them up rounds.

Speaker 4 (49:30):
Yeah, because I think it was like the council buster.
