- 14:27Speaker 3: what are you expecting? I'm not have just been at
- 14:29Speaker 3: a buffet or something. Yeah, it'll be great.
- 14:32Speaker 1: We've got to do that.
- 14:32Speaker 3: But it's pregnant belly. Have you had your pregnant belly rubbed?
- 14:37Speaker 3: Are you a rubber or are you pro rubbing? Anti rubbing?
- 14:40Speaker 1: Let's get Paul on. Have you had your pregnant belly rubbed? Paul?
- 14:44Speaker 3: No?
- 14:46Speaker 1: But your thoughts? Have you?
- 14:47Speaker 3: Are you thought this feels like a very inappropriate call
- 14:50Speaker 3: with Paul? Are you four rubbing or against rubbing?
- 14:52Speaker 10: Paul against? My wife was pregnant and really used to
- 14:56Speaker 10: annoy me.
- 14:56Speaker 8: I think it's just one stick down from sea arrestment.
- 14:59Speaker 2: Really pretty much. You're right, you take away, you know,
- 15:03Speaker 2: for some reason we think it's all right. Would people
- 15:05Speaker 2: wouldn't come up to you normally?
- 15:06Speaker 1: Would they do?
- 15:07Speaker 7: Because I'm hit them?
- 15:09Speaker 9: But it's so true, especially where they feel in the
- 15:12Speaker 9: stummy it's quite low.
- 15:14Speaker 7: So you're right, Paul, I never even thought of that.
- 15:17Speaker 10: Yeah, but none of my friends come up to me
- 15:19Speaker 10: and rubbed the part of me that was involved with it.
- 15:25Speaker 11: I wish more of them did. That's a good point,
- 15:32Speaker 11: So good you would, Marcella out the bouts come out?
- 15:36Speaker 11: You got all rights, are brilliant, col mate.
- 15:44Speaker 1: We'll see you have some help beat have a great day.
- 15:47Speaker 6: The hits that jonaan Ben podcast.
- 15:49Speaker 2: Mortgage relief and the surprise oh cr text rate cut.
- 15:52Speaker 3: I love it because I'm watching I'm watching being panic
- 15:56Speaker 3: grab the front of the New Zealand here to try
- 15:58Speaker 3: and pretend he knows what he's talking about.
- 16:00Speaker 2: Oh, I mean the banks have chopped the interest rates
- 16:02Speaker 2: joh to homeowners on the back of the Reserve Bank announcement.
- 16:06Speaker 2: I think it's all self explanatory, no further questions, mate.
- 16:08Speaker 3: There's good news.
- 16:09Speaker 1: That is good news. Overall, survive to twenty five. That's
- 16:11Speaker 1: what everyone's been saying. Hopefully this is.
- 16:13Speaker 3: The turning point for everyone. Yeah, now speaking of the
- 16:16Speaker 3: bank actually says and this is an unnecessary pressure in life. Well,
- 16:21Speaker 3: I shouldn't say necessary, because it's probably quite necessary. But
- 16:23Speaker 3: the bank password, which is necessary actually, but sometimes you know,
- 16:29Speaker 3: when you log onto your bank thing with your phone,
- 16:31Speaker 3: it like scans your face, right, So that's how I
- 16:35Speaker 3: enter into the banking app. But I was having to
- 16:39Speaker 3: do some stuff on my laptop computer and so that
- 16:42Speaker 3: that was requiring me to put in my actual.
- 16:45Speaker 1: Password, and I couldn't for the life of me.
- 16:48Speaker 3: Remember, I was you know, I was about eighty five
- 16:50Speaker 3: percent sure of this password, and you're into ridden, No,
- 16:54Speaker 3: that's not the password.
- 16:55Speaker 1: Then you're into the same part.
- 16:56Speaker 3: For some reason, you need to it exactly the same password,
- 16:58Speaker 3: and you go, no, the website, mate, come on, you're sure, yeah,
- 17:01Speaker 3: and I did that three times, because sometimes you.
- 17:03Speaker 2: Do, you get a digit wrong or a letter wrong.
- 17:06Speaker 2: So you're like, I've got to injur it again, just
- 17:08Speaker 2: to make sure, just to make sure. But the problem
- 17:10Speaker 2: is you've got so many different passwords these days.
- 17:12Speaker 3: I know, and that's it, and I got three passwords deep.
- 17:14Speaker 3: Now the bank websites like, hey, buddy, you've only got
- 17:17Speaker 3: two more attempts at this, and that is pressure, that
- 17:20Speaker 3: is real. And I'm like, okay, well I've used the
- 17:22Speaker 3: same one three times. Is the website wrong?
- 17:25Speaker 6: No?
- 17:25Speaker 1: Probably not.
- 17:25Speaker 3: Probly you start to blame the website, but you know, actually,
- 17:28Speaker 3: step back, why would a bank's website be wrong for.
- 17:30Speaker 2: An everyday person. This is as close as we're going
- 17:33Speaker 2: to get to. You know, we watch the pop holding
- 17:34Speaker 2: or the high jump and they're like, you've had two
- 17:36Speaker 2: failed attempts. As your last attempt to win an Olympic gold.
- 17:39Speaker 2: Hamish Kerr and he had to get that last jump
- 17:41Speaker 2: for New Zealand. This is like the moment, this is
- 17:43Speaker 2: as close as we get.
- 17:44Speaker 3: And so you know that me and on the internet,
- 17:45Speaker 3: all those mathematical equations start coming sort of floating around
- 17:48Speaker 3: in the air. That's you and you're like, okay, it
- 17:50Speaker 3: could be any number of three hundred and twenty passwords
- 17:53Speaker 3: I've made up for websites. You know, some include braille, highlogriphics,
- 17:56Speaker 3: you name it. And then I got to us with
- 18:00Speaker 3: four fail, had one attempt left five seems like a
- 18:05Speaker 3: reasonable amount of leeway the band, because you know, I
- 18:08Speaker 3: blame in the bank for this idiot.
- 18:10Speaker 1: If you can't get in five five. The was a lot.
- 18:12Speaker 1: That is many chances.
- 18:14Speaker 3: First one nailed it, plucked it out of thin air,
- 18:19Speaker 3: and it was nervous types of the keyboard because I
- 18:23Speaker 3: don't know how long you're locked out for.
- 18:24Speaker 1: Well, that's right.
- 18:25Speaker 2: Sometimes you just have to go the whole I forgot
- 18:27Speaker 2: my password and then they send you an email, then
- 18:29Speaker 2: you have to read it and then you change your
- 18:31Speaker 2: password again. Good A good thing I saw on social
- 18:33Speaker 2: media that day. Well, actually an interesting thing when it
- 18:36Speaker 2: comes to passwords, because you know, you just mentioned how
- 18:38Speaker 2: you have to add all these unique things, new.
- 18:42Speaker 3: Characters, underscores, numbers. Sometimes you want to put it in Chinese,
- 18:46Speaker 3: just to mix things up.
- 18:47Speaker 2: This guy was like, here's my streaming, my streaming, you know,
- 18:49Speaker 2: just to watch the show on my streaming service, I've
- 18:52Speaker 2: got to have like eight letters, a number of emoji.
- 18:55Speaker 2: My college roommates made a name, a hieroglyphic, whatever, you know.
- 18:58Speaker 2: And then he's like, ATM, just four numbers, just any
- 19:01Speaker 2: four numbers. When you think of consistently, you're talk about that,
- 19:05Speaker 2: and the same with the bank. You think about all
- 19:07Speaker 2: the things you get online, but you just walk up
- 19:09Speaker 2: to simple numbers.
- 19:11Speaker 3: And I've heard those four numbers for twenty eight years
- 19:13Speaker 3: and they have never done me wrong in those four numbers.
- 19:15Speaker 3: In fact, if anyone finds out those four numbers, they
- 19:17Speaker 3: pretty much got access to my life.
- 19:19Speaker 1: But yeah, there's a very fair point. That's a really
- 19:22Speaker 1: really good point. There's just four numbers, the four number system.
- 19:25Speaker 1: Has it done us wrong? Never?
- 19:27Speaker 3: Well, I've been until now No Samon came in and
- 19:30Speaker 3: started adding and at symbols and everything. You're right, but
- 19:33Speaker 3: there you go an unnecessary pressure in life, and there's
- 19:35Speaker 3: a lot of them to group texting. Another one for
- 19:37Speaker 3: me don't get Me started. The WhatsApp group chet Geez
- 19:40Speaker 3: that moves at.
- 19:41Speaker 6: The pace the heads that jonaan Ben podcast.
- 19:44Speaker 3: Megan Purpos's Away this Week got Coviderere on a zoom
- 19:48Speaker 3: meeting with her yesterday.
- 19:49Speaker 1: Hilarious.
- 19:50Speaker 5: She's like.
- 19:54Speaker 6: It.
- 19:54Speaker 2: She was like, I'll be in tomorrow.
- 19:57Speaker 3: We're like, mate, you sound a little CROCD. You don't
- 19:59Speaker 3: have to push it. You're like fine, and.
- 20:03Speaker 1: You were like, honestly, stay home.
- 20:05Speaker 2: I think she spoke to a boss on the phone
- 20:07Speaker 2: and he was on the radio talk about that.
- 20:13Speaker 3: But we wish you the best recovery. It really hs
- 20:16Speaker 3: different people in different ways. Some people just fly through
- 20:19Speaker 3: and don't have anything.
- 20:20Speaker 2: I think depending on how it happened, Like any time
- 20:22Speaker 2: when you get a coffer a cold, it can hit you.
- 20:24Speaker 2: I hear talk about COVID, felt that Covid said a
- 20:27Speaker 2: lot as I want to talk about Mark Zuckerberg, of course,
- 20:32Speaker 2: the founder of Facebook owns Meta and he gave his
- 20:35Speaker 2: wife a gift.
- 20:38Speaker 1: It's a birthday. Lovely. He didn't didn't forget.
- 20:40Speaker 3: Firstly, well done Zuckerberg and the.
- 20:43Speaker 2: Gift that he got and I guess he's got squallions
- 20:45Speaker 2: of dollars.
- 20:46Speaker 1: So you know, what do you get? You get someone
- 20:48Speaker 1: you got that much.
- 20:48Speaker 3: You would you would reach a stage where you're like,
- 20:51Speaker 3: there was literally nothing else I can buy for myself.
- 20:53Speaker 3: You know, imagine being at that stage of life. We're like,
- 20:57Speaker 3: I can't think of anything.
- 20:58Speaker 1: If I want it, I'll get it. Yeah, but I can't.
- 21:00Speaker 1: I'm gone at all.
- 21:01Speaker 2: So he got his wife a seven foot statue of
- 21:04Speaker 2: her that sits out in the backyard. And so it's
- 21:07Speaker 2: green with a large silver cloaks.
- 21:10Speaker 1: He's basically said he's.
- 21:11Speaker 2: Trying to bring back the Roman tradition of sculptures of
- 21:16Speaker 2: your wives.
- 21:17Speaker 3: She looks it's like a marine colored green, isn't it.
- 21:19Speaker 1: Yeah, that's it's out in the backyard.
- 21:22Speaker 2: She says she loves it, which is great, and I'm
- 21:24Speaker 2: not saying that she doesn't love it, but I feel
- 21:26Speaker 2: like it's a I don't.
- 21:27Speaker 1: Know how where he got How did he get there? Like,
- 21:29Speaker 1: how's that's what I'll get?
- 21:31Speaker 3: A statue? Yeah, a statue bloody and convenient when you're
- 21:33Speaker 3: moving house too. Better not forget the seven foot statue
- 21:35Speaker 3: of myself? And do you want a statue? Of yourself,
- 21:38Speaker 3: like into your backyard. It's a lovely gesture.
- 21:41Speaker 2: But I have a big fiberglass cow and that's yeah,
- 21:44Speaker 2: but it's not me. It's not me or my wife.
- 21:46Speaker 2: It would be a bit odd. I mean, at least
- 21:48Speaker 2: she didn't get it. At least well he didn't get
- 21:49Speaker 2: it of himself, I guess in some ways.
- 21:51Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's what we want to fourth for eight seven.
- 21:54Speaker 3: What's the most unusual gift you have received. It could
- 21:58Speaker 3: be a work gift to leaving prison sometime, your hand over,
- 22:00Speaker 3: leaving presents, and you're like, there's no thought being put
- 22:03Speaker 3: into this.
- 22:04Speaker 1: You're just happy to see this person.
- 22:05Speaker 2: Go oh, like you're with that secret Santa that time
- 22:08Speaker 2: that the person didn't know about the joke that was
- 22:10Speaker 2: going on in the office, and you gave well.
- 22:11Speaker 3: Yeah, there was a hot guy in the office and
- 22:13Speaker 3: everyone was like, oh, I'd love to get on his rig.
- 22:15Speaker 3: That's what all the girls were saying. And I thought, oh,
- 22:17Speaker 3: I thought this was like a common bit of banter.
- 22:19Speaker 3: And so I turned up and I had repurposed a
- 22:22Speaker 3: bottle of baby oil, and I said, this is.
- 22:25Speaker 2: You're right on an oil for the wreck, oil for
- 22:27Speaker 2: the ring, like an oil rig.
- 22:28Speaker 1: He opened it up in front of everyone, and I
- 22:29Speaker 1: was like, oil for the wreck? What's that man? Anyone
- 22:34Speaker 1: deathly silent?
- 22:35Speaker 3: And I thought, oh, I thought this was a common joke,
- 22:37Speaker 3: but apparently they call that sexual harassment.
- 22:41Speaker 11: I wanted to go and because we say you got
- 22:45Speaker 11: a nice wreck, you know, I.
- 22:46Speaker 1: Was kind of like coughing.
- 22:47Speaker 2: I was like, cause you got a hot body body
- 22:49Speaker 2: wreck the wing rub it on your body.
- 22:52Speaker 3: And so he was very and that humbles you as
- 22:56Speaker 3: a secret center giver. You don't want to leave the
- 22:59Speaker 3: gift to receive a confused.
- 23:01Speaker 6: The heads that jonaan Ben.
- 23:03Speaker 3: Podcast, Mark Zuckerberg hit of Facebook. He has purchased his
- 23:06Speaker 3: wife a statue of herself seven foot statue being.
- 23:09Speaker 2: Boy siven foot that's sort of green marine green. Yeah,
- 23:13Speaker 2: with a sort of silver sort of cloak, sort of
- 23:15Speaker 2: looks like wings. It's it's cool looking statue, But what
- 23:18Speaker 2: do you say? His reasoning was it was basically to
- 23:21Speaker 2: bring it back to like the Roman times where people
- 23:24Speaker 2: would you know, would get statues made of their of
- 23:26Speaker 2: their wives.
- 23:27Speaker 3: Yeah, he's trying to bring back the mate. We're not
- 23:29Speaker 3: all Mark zuckerbiog. We can't afford to make statues of
- 23:31Speaker 3: our wives.
- 23:32Speaker 2: Or did loved ones and stuff like that. You know,
- 23:34Speaker 2: He's like, yeah, I'm going to honor my wife with that,
- 23:36Speaker 2: and she stoked.
- 23:38Speaker 3: His wife's like, just buy me into the house. Can
- 23:42Speaker 3: we make a statue of you and put it up
- 23:45Speaker 3: in master?
- 23:47Speaker 2: Yes?
- 23:48Speaker 3: Been grew up a master. T No.
- 23:50Speaker 2: But out of all the people that grew up a master,
- 23:51Speaker 2: and I don't even I don't deserve a statue.
- 23:53Speaker 1: Jermaine Clement's cond Yeah, yeah, I know.
- 23:57Speaker 2: Brian Lahore, you know the legendary record.
- 24:01Speaker 3: What about like a paper measure one? So eventually it
- 24:04Speaker 3: just just integrates overtime.
- 24:05Speaker 1: It'll be fine.
- 24:05Speaker 2: I'll be the first to ventialize my mindsettue, that's for sure.
- 24:08Speaker 2: Definitely don't deserve that.

- 27:15Speaker 1: Good On Yllie appreciate it. Now.
- 27:17Speaker 3: We went to Spain very quickly for work. I felt
- 27:19Speaker 3: like we didn't even stay the night in Spain.
- 27:21Speaker 2: I think we arrived late. You're right, it's pretty much
- 27:23Speaker 2: twelve hours in Spain. Yeah, like the Madrid when after
- 27:25Speaker 2: watching the people that do this world sport where they
- 27:28Speaker 2: jump over balls.
- 27:29Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's not they're not like the bull fighting,
- 27:32Speaker 3: so it's hurting the balls. So the bulls run towards
- 27:35Speaker 3: these people and then they run towards the ball and
- 27:37Speaker 3: then they jump and flip over the ball as the
- 27:39Speaker 3: ball runs underneath them. When they do it, it looks majestic.
- 27:42Speaker 3: It's really it's a masterful art. You should YouTube. But
- 27:46Speaker 3: then we decided to give it a go. Okay, I
- 27:48Speaker 3: kind of got peer pressudent doing it. Now here's my issue,
- 27:51Speaker 3: and I know this brake's gone on long enough, so
- 27:53Speaker 3: I'll keep this quick. But then there was a thing
- 27:54Speaker 3: where we both had to hold the red the red
- 27:57Speaker 3: piece of cloth, so the bull knew where to rage
- 28:00Speaker 3: towards now.
- 28:00Speaker 1: I was holding one side of the cloth and you
- 28:02Speaker 1: were holding the other side of running it. I'll be
- 28:04Speaker 1: front foot.
- 28:05Speaker 3: I ran away, the ball ran towards us, goes the
- 28:08Speaker 3: red cloth ran away scared.
- 28:10Speaker 1: I didn't want to be there.
- 28:11Speaker 3: I was left holding a red piece of cloth as
- 28:13Speaker 3: a bull as charging towards me.

- 29:06Speaker 3: What do you correct them at the moment or do
- 29:08Speaker 3: you just silently see the way?
- 29:10Speaker 5: Oh no, I correct them. And I used to work

- 30:16Speaker 13: Oh well, actually it was the audience getting passionate about

- 30:20Speaker 13: this this country's won five bronzes, right, so that bronzes. Right,
- 30:25Speaker 13: So the Texas says there's no such thing as the bronzes.
- 30:28Speaker 13: You know what's that about?
- 30:29Speaker 3: Because of course bronze is a describing word.
- 30:33Speaker 13: John.
- 30:35Speaker 1: Old call it bronzes.
- 30:36Speaker 3: Yeah, and in fact it describes the medals.

- 30:56Speaker 1: So that we can't say.
- 30:58Speaker 3: Well, win's me up.

- 30:58Speaker 1: Absolutely.
- 30:59Speaker 13: When kids versed or verse messy high, oh my god,
- 31:03Speaker 13: I just go off, where are we going to go

- 31:09Speaker 3: what got me and former promise to John Key was
- 31:12Speaker 3: a big one for this.
- 31:13Speaker 1: He's a sickler for this.
- 31:14Speaker 3: The textans he texts me, just text you don't need.
- 31:19Speaker 13: To the other thing is, if you're going out, I'm
- 31:21Speaker 13: going out to get a couple of warrants for the car.
- 31:25Speaker 13: I'll get those warrants of fitness and scissors.
- 31:28Speaker 3: Okay, so we can't say golds, bronzes or silvers.
- 31:31Speaker 13: You can, but then you know, you've got to remember
- 31:34Speaker 13: English is a slut language and you can do whatever
- 31:36Speaker 13: you like.
- 31:36Speaker 1: You know, did you ever say that in you many
- 31:38Speaker 1: years on Classic Kids?
- 31:40Speaker 13: The English is a slight language all the time. Okay,
- 31:45Speaker 13: let me change, Let me change that. It is an evolving,
- 31:49Speaker 13: sary language well of great difficulty for anybody else who's
- 31:53Speaker 13: speaking as a second language.
- 31:54Speaker 6: You know. Oh, Andrew will thank you very much for
- 31:56Speaker 6: coming hits that Johnaan Ben Podka.
- 31:58Speaker 2: We were going to move on, but these calls and
- 32:01Speaker 2: texts keep coming through the most unusual gifts you've.
- 32:04Speaker 1: Received Grade TT four for seven.
- 32:05Speaker 3: My husband, my ex husband, actually gave me a lawn
- 32:08Speaker 3: mower when we were together.
- 32:12Speaker 1: One of those gifts we are like, who is that for? Yeah,
- 32:16Speaker 1: who's the gift for? Have you ever done one of those?
- 32:18Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, probably too too many times.
- 32:20Speaker 1: That was yeah, the iron, the eye, I'm sorry.
- 32:23Speaker 2: Though, the iron the yeah, yeah, the frying pan.
- 32:26Speaker 1: I haven't done it.
- 32:27Speaker 3: Have you ever gifted him, because I know you're a
- 32:29Speaker 3: big fan of Funko pops.
- 32:31Speaker 2: I haven't given a gifted one to Amanda.
- 32:33Speaker 3: No.
- 32:33Speaker 2: I gave her the Bron James single. Though, What do
- 32:37Speaker 2: you want me to do with this? Well, she has
- 32:39Speaker 2: won and summertimes she will wear it. From times it's hard.
- 32:41Speaker 2: I don't think it's on her first choice of single
- 32:43Speaker 2: that so she wears, but she will put it off
- 32:45Speaker 2: from time to time.
- 32:46Speaker 3: Because you whenever you come out from a trip, you
- 32:48Speaker 3: come out with all this sports merch like US sports
- 32:51Speaker 3: merchandise for your wife wanting to dress it like a
- 32:53Speaker 3: frat boys.
- 32:57Speaker 1: She does from time to time, and a lot of
- 32:59Speaker 1: it goes to the Jim Jim close you right or
- 33:02Speaker 1: just close for summertime? Beat you's hire. Why isn't this
- 33:06Speaker 1: on the.
- 33:07Speaker 3: Top, you know, the top brass clear as with us
- 33:11Speaker 3: under It's clear you received an unusual gift.
- 33:14Speaker 10: Yes, indeed I did receive something very uncomfortable at all. Okay, yes,
- 33:21Speaker 10: well at the time, I was working for an insurance
- 33:24Speaker 10: company and at the end of my tamura I was
- 33:27Speaker 10: just basically having catch up with this guy who said, look, nothing,
- 33:34Speaker 10: it's just a casual catch up, just to say thank
- 33:37Speaker 10: you for all your work. But and then which led
- 33:40Speaker 10: to him coming up with this box box of like
- 33:43Speaker 10: you know, it was hired. It was looking very fancy,
- 33:45Speaker 10: and I'm like, oh, you don't have to because it
- 33:48Speaker 10: is unprofessional and I can't accept it, and said do
- 33:53Speaker 10: not open it now, but do it when you get home.
- 33:56Speaker 10: And when I opened it, it was like a box
- 33:58Speaker 10: of like toys, which was six toys, which was really really.
- 34:04Speaker 2: Uncomfortable to more at the time too the.
- 34:10Speaker 10: Show, I think that would have been really uncomfortable.
- 34:15Speaker 3: Okay, and so did you obviously this is one of
- 34:18Speaker 3: your clients.
- 34:19Speaker 5: Yes.
- 34:20Speaker 10: So then he followed up, I think it was like
- 34:24Speaker 10: sometimes in a few days or something, saying hey, what
- 34:27Speaker 10: did you think, And I said, well, I think it
- 34:29Speaker 10: was really not appropriate and I would have to report
- 34:33Speaker 10: this because I you know, as I've mentioned to him
- 34:37Speaker 10: like a few times that I had a partner, I
- 34:40Speaker 10: had a boyfriend, and that was just like this is borderline,
- 34:44Speaker 10: Like I think.
- 34:45Speaker 1: It's gone beyond the borderline. Oh my goodness.
- 34:49Speaker 3: And so because he's probably like, hey, well you haven't
- 34:52Speaker 3: thank you for the.
- 34:54Speaker 10: Prison, I'm going to get a thank you, that's for sure.
- 34:58Speaker 1: Ah there we're going there hilarious.
- 35:00Speaker 10: But at the same time, when you when I think
- 35:02Speaker 10: that it's hilarious then but yeah, it was just really uncomfortable.
- 35:08Speaker 1: There was the day Ben was dropped as a client. Yeah,
- 35:17Speaker 1: it's a bit awkward. You're back to get it out,
- 35:19Speaker 1: but how did you like, I'm not getting involved in
- 35:24Speaker 1: So what do you do do you do to drop
- 35:26Speaker 1: those off? The soft plastics?
- 35:30Speaker 10: I think I kept it because I was just like,
- 35:33Speaker 10: I don't know what to do. And then when I
- 35:35Speaker 10: moved I had to buffet. Was this was just like
- 35:39Speaker 10: something just you know, you don't know how to react
- 35:43Speaker 10: to something like that. Int He's like, oh, I don't ye.
- 35:47Speaker 1: Shot Brocht, but not that way, not that way.
- 35:50Speaker 6: That's the hits that Joan Ben podcast.
- 35:53Speaker 2: It was a school in Addington, just in Canterbury that
- 35:56Speaker 2: had the bell taken. It was stolen in the weekend.
- 35:59Speaker 2: It's been around for a long time and we were
- 36:01Speaker 2: worried about it.

- 36:44Speaker 2: and you put out a bit of a plea, and
- 36:46Speaker 2: so how did you get it back?

- 36:51Speaker 12: that someone had a bronze doun of brass boundry locally,
- 36:55Speaker 12: had had some scrap metal coming and they some of
- 36:57Speaker 12: the guys. You recognized the photo of the bell online
- 37:01Speaker 12: and thought, hang on, that looks like the one that
- 37:03Speaker 12: got the same and they thrusted all out and then
- 37:07Speaker 12: they rung up and I went around and I got
- 37:08Speaker 12: it and it was ours.
- 37:09Speaker 1: Ah, that is and the bells in full working order, is.
- 37:13Speaker 12: It, No fraid not. But I mean the main part
- 37:16Speaker 12: of the in the history will stay, and that's we'll
- 37:18Speaker 12: get it fixed, and I think we'll be bringing it
- 37:20Speaker 12: in and out to special occasions, but we're going to
- 37:23Speaker 12: get it all judged.
- 37:24Speaker 1: Up, all polished, gets brasso on that sucker. So obviously the.

- 37:39Speaker 1: right eighteen eighty one, that bell has been around.
- 37:41Speaker 12: Yeah, they even tested it because it's made of something
- 37:44Speaker 12: that bells were never made of, you know, well were
- 37:47Speaker 12: they were made of that all those years ago, So
- 37:50Speaker 12: that was one of the other reasons they thought they
- 37:52Speaker 12: must it must have been that one. So yeah, seventeen
- 37:54Speaker 12: kgs the bells.
- 37:56Speaker 3: Geez, that's a lot of bell And obviously they'd obviously sold.
