- 2:23Speaker 2: I mean that sounds about right. I mean that sounds
- 2:26Speaker 2: about right.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Were you a sporty person?
- 2:28Speaker 4: Yes, I actually dove, which I love watching the Olympic
- 2:31Speaker 4: diver and I played lacrosse.
- 2:34Speaker 2: You guys have lacrosse in New Zealand.

- 2:38Speaker 1: a cool that's what the you the old.
- 2:41Speaker 2: Yeah, don't mess with me.
- 2:42Speaker 4: There was a girl that tried to mess with me,

- 2:47Speaker 4: and I took the lacrosse stick like a baseball bat.
- 2:50Speaker 2: My mom was so proud.
- 2:51Speaker 1: I just took it right to her head.
- 2:52Speaker 6: I was like, yeah, yeah, snoop DOGG. We've talked a
- 2:58Speaker 6: lot about Snoop Dog.
- 2:58Speaker 3: Five hundred thousand a day is the rumored he's getting
- 3:03Speaker 3: for being an ambassador for NBC.
- 3:05Speaker 4: Right, Literally, it's worth every penny. I think he's getting underpaid.
- 3:11Speaker 4: He is an internation. I always said national. He's an
- 3:14Speaker 4: international treasure.
- 3:16Speaker 2: The man. I want him to narrate my life.
- 3:20Speaker 4: I want him to do play by plays of everything
- 3:22Speaker 4: for me, because he just brings joy and smiles. Even
- 3:25Speaker 4: if you don't like him, you can't help but smile
- 3:27Speaker 4: when he's announcing one of the sports.
- 3:29Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 3:30Speaker 1: I think the trick is he's always himself, isn't it
- 3:33Speaker 1: what environment? And he doesn't change who he is.
- 3:36Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean hence him and Martha Stewart are good
- 3:38Speaker 4: friends and they legit are And I think when you
- 3:40Speaker 4: saw them when they I don't know what it's called.
- 3:42Speaker 4: What is it?
- 3:43Speaker 2: When like the the horses like dance?
- 3:48Speaker 5: What is that?
- 3:52Speaker 3: Yes?
- 3:53Speaker 1: Yes?
- 3:53Speaker 2: And he's announcing with.
- 3:54Speaker 4: With Martha Stewart and everyone's like, oh, there's no. They're
- 3:58Speaker 4: like legit best like they are good friends. They go
- 4:00Speaker 4: out in private and hang like their buddies atost unassuming
- 4:04Speaker 4: friendship ever, But it's.
- 4:05Speaker 1: The hits that Jon Ben Podcast, Good Morning to my friend.
- 4:11Speaker 6: Nice to talk to you.
- 4:12Speaker 1: Always us today, but we forgot to do the thing
- 4:14Speaker 1: where we teach us something from New Zealand.
- 4:17Speaker 5: Yes, some more New Zealand language. Now here's a colloquialism
- 4:21Speaker 5: that we do regularly. Is we for some reason whenever
- 4:25Speaker 5: you ask us a question. So if you, for example,
- 4:27Speaker 5: said would you like a coffee, we would go year
- 4:30Speaker 5: and a. So we say like yes and no yeah
- 4:33Speaker 5: in the same response, but it means yes generally means yes.
- 4:37Speaker 5: You just for some reason go yeah yea nah.
- 4:39Speaker 6: Yeah, No, it's just just a weird thing, okay, nic
- 4:42Speaker 6: I feel like we maybe do that.
- 4:44Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, do you want this? And I was
- 4:45Speaker 2: like no, no, no, yeah, that's not the norm. That's
- 4:48Speaker 2: very weird, and they'd be very confusing.
- 4:50Speaker 4: And if it's like my first day's an intern on
- 4:51Speaker 4: the job with you guys, I would be very nervous
- 4:54Speaker 4: even ask what that meant?
- 4:55Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we don't know. It's just an automatic response.
- 4:59Speaker 5: That we do.
- 5:00Speaker 2: How come not nah?
- 5:01Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 5:01Speaker 2: Don't you want to end with the actual answer, We should?
- 5:04Speaker 6: You're right, we should. Yeah, I don't know why we
- 5:07Speaker 6: do it?
- 5:08Speaker 1: Did you leave? The confusion is left with the final word.
- 5:10Speaker 1: You see, you're right, is this only New Zealand?
- 5:12Speaker 5: Er?
- 5:12Speaker 2: Is this Australia too?
- 5:14Speaker 1: It's pretty much New Zealand thing.
- 5:16Speaker 6: It's weird.
- 5:16Speaker 5: It's a lack of confidence that we have in ourselves.
- 5:18Speaker 5: But we don't want to We don't want to put.
- 5:20Speaker 4: Like naar, no, you figure it out, figure out what
- 5:24Speaker 4: I Wantah, we don't want to put you out.
- 5:26Speaker 1: Like if you're if you're making a coffee year, it
- 5:27Speaker 1: will take one.
- 5:28Speaker 2: But if you don't know, so it's a respect thing.
- 5:31Speaker 3: It's like.
- 5:33Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, now, okay, I'm going to try to make
- 5:36Speaker 2: that happen here.
- 5:36Speaker 3: Obviously, the Olympics have been dominating a lot of even
- 5:39Speaker 3: pop culture. As you said before, I mean, what else
- 5:41Speaker 3: is making news over there? I mean there's the dead
- 5:44Speaker 3: pools out, we've got justin. Timberlake's been in court. But
- 5:48Speaker 3: zech Efron seem to injure himself in the pool. What's
- 5:50Speaker 3: making news over there?
- 5:52Speaker 2: Okay?
- 5:52Speaker 4: The whole zach Efron thing is very bizarre to me.
- 5:55Speaker 4: I'm not understanding what's going on with that. I feel
- 5:58Speaker 4: like they're hiding something. What if something horrible happened, something
- 6:02Speaker 4: horrible happened, like if he was drinking or if he
- 6:05Speaker 4: was like on something, which I'm not saying it is,
- 6:07Speaker 4: but it's very it's very rare that a grown man
- 6:11Speaker 4: is found unresponsive in a pool and it's not related
- 6:15Speaker 4: to like partying. Let's say, it just doesn't make sense
- 6:18Speaker 4: to me. So I just feel like, yeah, maybe he
- 6:21Speaker 4: had one too many. Like they said that he smashed
- 6:23Speaker 4: his like chest them.
- 6:24Speaker 2: About the pool and breathing in some water. Okay, he
- 6:26Speaker 2: did that because he was right, Like there's something. They
- 6:29Speaker 2: keep giving updates something, sus something's very very.
- 6:34Speaker 1: Like you're gonna have a few.
- 6:35Speaker 6: I mean, you're gonna have a few drinks.
- 6:37Speaker 5: In theory, he's an eba. He's watching the Olympics. He's
- 6:40Speaker 5: inspired by the UIs swim team.
- 6:41Speaker 6: The diving.
- 6:45Speaker 2: Tried his handle that.
- 6:46Speaker 1: Yeah, he'st with the demons, isn't he the pool guy.
- 6:48Speaker 4: Yes, he's definitely battled some demons. And listen again, like
- 6:51Speaker 4: you just said, you can like it's it's you're in
- 6:54Speaker 4: a beast of like you remember Mike Posner song I
- 6:56Speaker 4: took a pill.
- 6:58Speaker 3: I was cool because I thought you were doing as Yeah,
- 7:02Speaker 3: do you know we were lucky enough to interview Zach
- 7:04Speaker 3: Efron in Australia and took a lovely photo. He was
- 7:07Speaker 3: gracious enough to take a photo at the end, and
- 7:09Speaker 3: then John I got annoyed because I cropped him out
- 7:11Speaker 3: of the photo.
- 7:13Speaker 6: Was the three of us?
- 7:14Speaker 2: You can't do that. You can't do that.
- 7:15Speaker 6: You shoulders and there.
- 7:16Speaker 3: But I was like, mate, if I've got the opportunity
- 7:18Speaker 3: to look like it's just me and Zach Effron hanging
- 7:20Speaker 3: out together, I'm going to take that all day.
- 7:23Speaker 1: He could have just the photo, but he went to
- 7:25Speaker 1: the trouble to click it and zooming in what difference
- 7:28Speaker 1: does it mean?
- 7:28Speaker 2: But now you're the thing. Did it look did it
- 7:30Speaker 2: look like it was just you two? Or did you
- 7:32Speaker 2: see like Johnald's hand there but you cut off?
- 7:35Speaker 6: I saw another shoulder, another hand, But I stand by
- 7:37Speaker 6: my decision.
- 7:40Speaker 2: It was a bad friend. Oh.
- 7:42Speaker 6: Mate was probably doing his silly face to and I'm like, no,
- 7:45Speaker 6: this cut the.
- 7:46Speaker 1: Ugly one out.
- 7:49Speaker 6: Process the proceeds to.
- 7:51Speaker 4: Go through that, it's not hard, yeah right, Like he
- 7:55Speaker 4: literally like talk about passion, passion for his picture with
- 7:58Speaker 4: the beautiful Zach effort to.
- 8:00Speaker 2: Sit and crop and cut and snip and photoshop.
- 8:04Speaker 3: Come on, come on, you have to drag your finger
