• 2:54
  Speaker 5: Well, yes, you're right now.
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: I did go to some theme parks and you know,
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: but there's nothing more scary or thrilling than over here
• 3:00
  Speaker 6: and spending US dollars and not knowing if travel.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: Insurance are going to cover it, you know.
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: Yeah, that's been the most thrilling and exciting ride of

  Speaker 6: the whole trip.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, well tell you tell your credit card thank you,

• 3:24
  Speaker 3: be nice.
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: At the moment though, it's quite degrading because I've just
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: washed some underwear and socks and a hotel sink.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: It's a pretty low moment in my life.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: At least you haven't resorted to the jug like some
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: people do. Don't boil your undies at the jug.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Can you do that? No, you can. It's the question.
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: All right, we'll keep harassing you on WhatsApp. So you're

  Speaker 3: in Orlando, Florida right now. How hot is it?
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: It's actually really lovely.
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: I know no one wants to hear that with winter
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: back home, but it's about thirty something degrees at the moment,
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: so at least you know that is a ray of
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: a literal ray of sunshine.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: Well, well, we will be catching up with being later
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: on in the show because.
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: It's yeah, you've been to play it right, you want
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: to say, USA, Yeah.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: USA, he's in the USA. We'll bet we'll catch up
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: with you after seven.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: The heads that jonaan Ben podcast and Meghan here Ben
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: is currently stuck in America going.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: To cross live to Florida. Orlando has been voiced getting
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: the hot political takes to on Biden stepping down after
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: seven o'clock this morning. Now, you you read this story
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: to me before the show, and I am one hundred
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: percent if there was more in the percentage of system
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: to allow me to be one hundred and twenty percent.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: On this woman's side, I would be yeah.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: So a woman has flown, she's booked a first class
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: plane ticket for herself and for her child, apparently, so
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: she gets on in the has been a booking era,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: some kind of era where she has a first class seat,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: but her child doesn't, right, So she asked someone in
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: first class. She asked a woman if she would mind
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: giving up her first class seat so that her son
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: can sit with her and experience first class as she
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: had intended. But the person says no, yes.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: So now this is this is why I'm on this
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: lady who said no.
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: Why.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: On her side, she's been shouted a ticket by her
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: partner paid for and she said nos, the kid taking
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: a seat, and it caused immily on the plane.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: But regardless of whether she had been shouted at by
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: a partner, if she just paid for herself, I still
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: wouldn't give it up because you paid for the first
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: class tickets.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: And it's not like it's not like it's an economy
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: or economy swap, you know, if you're sitting in a
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: seat where you're in the child's over the other side.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Absolutely one hundred percent of the time, But you know
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: you're that far away from the economy peasants up there
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: in business class. You're not going back down.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: But also I thought everyone would be on our side
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: with this, but so many people online have seid she
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: should have given it up, including the flight attendant who
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: hinted to her that she should be more understanding and
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: let the child sit with the mum.
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Now produce to You've been in the airline industry for
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: many years, the Lombardes, your family rich history in the
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: airline industry. Does this happen a lot?
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: No?
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: No, no. Do people book business for themselves and then
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: their kids in economy.
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: I've never had that experience, and neither have my parents
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: that have heard of. But I know there is an
• 6:18
  Speaker 8: age limit where you actually legally have to sit with
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: your kid until they're unaccompanied mine and then it's like whatever.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: So technically she has to sit with the kids.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: How old is the kid must be under twelve, I guess. Yeah,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: but she made the kid with her special lady past.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: What can't she go sit in economy with kid?
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Exactly?
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: You take, because she's like, the kid needs to experience
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: business class.
• 6:40
  Speaker 8: Okay, do it another time.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the kid's got his whole life.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: To experience properly.
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: Don't take it.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: The kid's small too. Economy is like business class.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: He's lucky. He's even on a flight.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly that John and Ben podcast.
• 6:53

  Speaker 3: varying levels of sickness at the moment, battling away after
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: two weeks of sickness. But also this, this is what

  Speaker 2: much about the nineteen ninety six movie, but it's really good.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I went and saw it in Cinema's and then got
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: to chat to Glenn Powell, Daisy Egger Jones, and Anthony Ramos,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: the stars of this, and Steven Spielberg is producer of this.

• 8:06
  Speaker 2: America Southern American accent, to do his own Puerto Rican accent,

  Speaker 1: Very good, very good movie hits that Jonavan Ben pok.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: This this morning. Joe Biden is not seeking re election because
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: he's pulling out of the presidential candidacy, and Donald Trump
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: has responded, what do you reckon? Did he go the
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: high road and he's got a gag?
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: What's he locked him? Has he still got his ear
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: pillow on his ear?
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: He still? I think it's yeah.
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: You don't want to weep he saw, do you? No?
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: He said, Biden will be remembered as the single worst
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: president by far, in the history of our country. So
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: he took the high road.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Check an old man when he's lying down, I reckon. Anyway,
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: those do say it will affect Trump's chances too, because
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: he was actually talking up Biden. He's going, oh, no,
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: he's good. He's a good candidate because he knew he
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: was going to mow over him and all the debates
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: and things. So now the Democrats potentially move in a younger,
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: shinier model and this could actually not play in Trump's favors.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: So but mind you, he's got an ear pillow of
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: so what what you could not script this?
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: No, it's I mean, it's nothing if not entertaining.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Who's saw online someone saying they're really enjoying the finale
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: season of America right now? Oh my god? Yeah, the
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Internet outrage the Internet and we will be actually crossing
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: live to Trump territory, Florida, Orlando, Florida. We've been Voyce
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: is currently over there now from radio host stranded on
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: holiday with his family to our US correspondent, Yeah, we'll
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: get his hot, hot political takes on Biden stepping down.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: But the Internet, it likes to get outrage. Although they
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: always like, oh, the Internet is outraged over something, but
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: it's a it's a big sweeping statement. I looked. Do
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: you know five points three billion people are on the Internet.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: That's a big statement to say.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: How many are we in the world? Eight billion?
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so that means, you know, over three billion. Two
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: points about two point six billion don't use the internet? Yeah,
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: two six billion.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: What do they do with their days?
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: How do they know what other people's opinions are without
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: them being shoved down your throat?
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Where do they post pictures of their life?
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: How do they know how to fix anything without YouTube? Jeez,
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: they must be living I reckon. They must have to
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: make their own pornography, wouldn't they? These people with no Internet?
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: But they're probably leading a happier existence. Magazine there's magazine, Sure,
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: that's right, But yeah, the Internet outrage we like to
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: give a headline. Megan, you have to try and figure
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: out why the Internet would be outraged at this. Now
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: the headline is Internet outraged over dead fly. Have a brainstorm.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Why do you think the Internet would be outraged over this?
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: And the food and food you're ooh, you're warm, you
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: are well, you are warm?
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: Okay, the dead flies somewhere it's not supposed to be right.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: You know what, I'm going to give it to you
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: the word fly activists or you know, discuss it at
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: more team for ruining flies live.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: He suffered a slow and painful death.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: You are you're kind of in the ballpark now. This
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: was a story that got the internet completely outraged. In India,
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: where there are a cup they were at a party
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: and they were sharing their wonderful money saving tip with
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: someone else at the party. They were like, what we
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: do is we wander around with the dead fly in
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: our pockets and when we go to restaurants, high end restaurants,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: once they bring out the meal, we slipped the fly.
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: And now the person they were telling the story too
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: then obviously did the sensible thing and took it to
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: the Internet and he said he was outraged that they
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: do this, but this gets them free meals, free sometimes
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: free entire dinners because they then cause a scene.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: They're like, yeah, there's no winning for the hospitality industry
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: in that scenario because you have even if you think,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: even if you know that they planted the fly, you can't.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: The customer is always right. You can't say that.
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: Unless you got them on camera. Get them on camera,
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: and then that really does there to slap in the
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: face of the person putting it. You know, you never
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: want to be caught putting a fly into food. De
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: that's degrading, it's not a good look.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: So bad.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I do go out for dinner if you can't
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: afford it.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: If you can, that's a good lack life slipped something.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: I know you you've been in the hospital industry. You
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: owned a cafe.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, did you.
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: Ever put anything anyone's food?
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: No?
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: God, no, not intentionally, but.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: No, I don't think we ever had a hero or
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: fly complaint or anything like that. A one one complaint
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: remains in my mind where a woman ordered like it
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: was like beef cheek on toast, and her complaint was
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: after she'd eaten most of it was it was too meaty.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: Too meaty. So you're like, hold on, let me just
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: sort that out for you talking out back, spat and
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: sped on the meal. Did you gave it back to it?
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: I was just like, don't don't finish it then? I
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: mean you ordered literally meat on toast.
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: But yeah, to meet the hits.

  Speaker 2: the year and has been relentlessly applying for jobs, but
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: hasn't landed any of them. Last week, she told me
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: she'd applied for a management role at the company I
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: work for. Coincidentally, I have also thrown my hat in
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: the ring for the position, and I know for a
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: fact that I'm one of the lead candidates. She told
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: me that she's made it to the interview process, but
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: I'm too nervous to tell her that I have as well.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: I'm really tempted to pull out of the running. And
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: she's one of my best friends and I already have
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: a job while she doesn't. On the other hand, professionally,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: I really want this climb up the ladder. Please help

  Speaker 3: the friend doesn't guarantee to get the job, so it's
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: not a and she might have applied for other jobs.

  Speaker 2: I gotta gone.

  Speaker 3: have happened with someone in the know as very specific,
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: isn't it. It's probably happened to no one in the past.

  Speaker 2: their best friend has also applied for the same role
• 18:48

  Speaker 3: However, the best friend who's applied is currently unemployed, has
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: been so for a number of months.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Was made redundant. But you have a job this person
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: as a.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Job your best friend doesn't. Do you pull out of
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: the running to allow your best friend to go and again,
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: the guarantee is not that the best friend will get
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: the job.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Do you talk to your friend and say, is it
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: all right if we both just go for it and

  Speaker 3: dropping vicious rumors about the friend and chancellor out of
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: the running, and.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Then you get the job and the friendship's over, and
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: you what, you never talked to her again.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: But then you could be like, oh no, I didn't
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: go for it. But then they're like, oh, we've got
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: no one else because your bloody friend who had the

  Speaker 3: Charlotte Buyers had us logan and everything. It's a buyer's
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: market genius. Like it's almost she was as soon as

  Speaker 3: an auctionaire, drug dealer, anything, anything. The world was your
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: oysters as sellers, pappas. Now what could you do as pappas?
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: I guess look after if your hand, if your name
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: was Megan microphone or I was John O radio guy
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: or something, and then you're like you're destined for the
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: radio industry.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Your prior you're John O prior.

• 29:24
  Speaker 3: attracted to certain professions. Really, yeah, No, nominative determinism as
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: a hypothesis that people are sort of destined for a

  Speaker 3: He strandeds thanks to the global internet outage. He's stranded
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: in the USA after heading over the end to visit family. Man.
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: Maybe I was thinking maybe someone from the Internet clicked
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: on that bloody Indian TA link. You know that you
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: get text ruined at all for us. But somehow, somehow,
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: the internet outage that happened on Friday has meant Ben
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: is not returning to sort of towards the end of
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: this week. Do you know, Megan, we've been trying to
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: get our heads around that.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not sure how that works.
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: Then, look, I'm trying to get my head around it.
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: I'm not sure how it has happened like this, but anyway,
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: we're going to be going home tomorrow.
• 33:27
  Speaker 7: Morning US time through Atlanta, then.
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: Through Los Angeles and then hopefully on to New Zealand,

  Speaker 6: so I'll see some of.
• 33:33
  Speaker 7: The world's greatest airports for a few hours.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: We have said, you know, this is what do you do?
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: What do you do? You take this as bereavement?
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: Leave?
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: Do you add this on to you? And maybe it's
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: the death of your credit card that could be the bereavement.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: It's given the death of the credit card.
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: As I said earlier, travel insurance.
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: But it's a very interesting situation to be a they've
• 33:52
  Speaker 6: never had anything like this before.
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: Apparently you know, oh this hasn't happened before.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: But you still have to cover us, right this really
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: blind side of us. Maybe it's punishment because I've been
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: following you on social media. Maybe this is punishment for
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: embarrassing your family with novelty costumes across America for the
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: last four nights.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: That's true, I did. I didn't pack my bag full.
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: Of costumes or a hot dog costume and a hot
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: dog in New York an M and M costume.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: How did you fat all those costumes in your suit case?
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: You know, well, I sacrificed a lot of clothes years
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: and now the holidays dragged on a few more days.
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: I am really running out of stuff quite desperately, and
• 34:31

• 34:33
  Speaker 6: the urge to buy new stuff.
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: He's flying home in a hot dog costume.
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: Exactly now.

  Speaker 3: see your.
• 37:59
  Speaker 8: Parents Lombardies, pay them a visit and yeah, completely the
• 38:04
  Speaker 8: same Mega. I reverted back to a six year old
• 38:06
  Speaker 8: where I forgot how to use my arms and legs,
• 38:09
  Speaker 8: and like it would be like that obviously cooked me dinner, dessert,
• 38:13
  Speaker 8: and then it'd be like ten pm and I'd be
• 38:15
  Speaker 8: a bit peckish. So all I'd have to do is
• 38:18
  Speaker 8: look at Mom and go, oh, I'm a bit hungry,
• 38:19
  Speaker 8: and she'd just yell out edge to my dad, make
• 38:24
  Speaker 8: your daughter some food. So he'd go downstairs and make
• 38:27
  Speaker 8: me four cruskets with butter and Swiss cheese.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: Weird combo. I wasn't going to criticize him, but battering
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: to battering is an annoying process.
• 38:36
  Speaker 8: Then he'd waddle it back upstairs, give it to me.
• 38:38
  Speaker 8: Mum would have a bite and then she'd yell back edge.
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: Make me.
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: It's like living home care, isn't it when they come
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: and stay?
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: But it's weird. You do revert back to being a kid,
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: and you're like, because I was second, I'm just like mom,
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: look after me, lift me extra brockets.
