- 7:34Speaker 4: of us and be like morning, you know, and go
- 7:37Speaker 4: back to bed. But no alarm.

- 10:19Speaker 1: Olympic games in Paris. Well, the only ceremony is a
- 10:22Speaker 1: couple of days away. But a few sports have already started.
- 10:26Speaker 3: Are they the borings?
- 10:27Speaker 8: You know?
- 10:27Speaker 3: The sports are like, oh, you guys aren't proper? Sports
- 10:30Speaker 3: will just get you out of the way, or what's
- 10:31Speaker 3: going on? The schedules too?
- 10:32Speaker 1: For I'll say, what sports have started? You tell me?
- 10:34Speaker 1: Tell me.
- 10:35Speaker 3: I'll give it about rugby sevens.
- 10:38Speaker 4: That niche niche one.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Yeah, so what do you want to say to that one?
- 10:42Speaker 3: I would say to us, it's a lot to the world.
- 10:45Speaker 3: Maybe not as.
- 10:46Speaker 1: Much football football, you know football, they're kicking off early.
- 10:50Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, because there's a lot to get because it
- 10:54Speaker 4: goes for weeks.
- 10:56Speaker 3: I don't know, but anyway, so it sounds like someone's
- 10:58Speaker 3: blue and blown out the bloody spreeing sheet.
- 11:00Speaker 1: All black sevens already started. They had a big one
- 11:02Speaker 1: over Japan, and then the Oli Whites and the men's football.
- 11:06Speaker 1: So that's under twenty three for men in the Olympics,
- 11:09Speaker 1: which is but then for the females it's not under
- 11:12Speaker 1: not age shaming anyone, but it's not.
- 11:15Speaker 3: Just definitely that's named an aged and said were sports.
- 11:18Speaker 1: Some sports are different, like boxing you can't have professionals
- 11:22Speaker 1: and things like that.
- 11:22Speaker 3: Hasn't it changed?
- 11:23Speaker 1: I think it might have changed now.
- 11:25Speaker 3: And then they add a new sport every every Olympics.
- 11:28Speaker 3: So if you're hold I feel can I be honest,
- 11:31Speaker 3: I'm petrified of even saying the word Olympics because we've
- 11:34Speaker 3: just been sent this email of what we can and
- 11:36Speaker 3: can't do around the Olympics, and can we even say Olympics.
- 11:39Speaker 4: Yeah, I can say the word Olympics.
- 11:41Speaker 3: About the Olympics.
- 11:44Speaker 1: There's a big, a big sports thing are going on.
- 11:47Speaker 3: The Olympics.
- 11:48Speaker 1: The os I like the Ocemics. That sounds good. Yeah,
- 11:51Speaker 1: but yeah, you're right. Sports new sports every year. Back
- 11:53Speaker 1: in the day, they used to have hot air ballooning
- 11:55Speaker 1: and tug of war some of the some of the
- 11:57Speaker 1: sports hotty ballooning seems like.
- 11:59Speaker 3: A wild what to have, Like if you can do
- 12:02Speaker 3: a sport at a school fear a tug of war,
- 12:05Speaker 3: there shouldn't be in the Olympics. I was reading two
- 12:07Speaker 3: years today. Very interesting fact. Fun fact. Do you know
- 12:10Speaker 3: the passing of the torch which Snoop Dogg is bringing
- 12:12Speaker 3: the Olympic torch. He's one of the people right into
- 12:15Speaker 3: the stadium. So it's going all around the world. In
- 12:18Speaker 3: fun fact, here the torch, the torch passing ceremony invented
- 12:21Speaker 3: by the Nazis.
- 12:24Speaker 1: Came up with.
- 12:24Speaker 3: He's like, you know what, we need to spread the
- 12:26Speaker 3: good word of the Nazis around the world. So he
- 12:28Speaker 3: invented this torch, got a German engineer to make the torch.
- 12:31Speaker 3: He's like, don't fire that around the world.
- 12:33Speaker 1: Get to run it around the wind from the Greek
- 12:36Speaker 1: back in the day, from the Greek Olympics. So but
- 12:38Speaker 1: I didn't know that. Yeah, there were going the.
- 12:40Speaker 4: Olympic torch didn't exist before.
- 12:42Speaker 1: Well maybe it did. Maybe it did, but not until
- 12:44Speaker 1: what you're saying, not the passing of the passing. Yeah,
- 12:47Speaker 1: we can thank it all for the thank him for
- 12:49Speaker 1: anything we think of the to he invented it.
- 12:55Speaker 4: No, probably wasn't his idea.
- 12:58Speaker 1: Who has been you know, really unwell of like this.
- 13:00Speaker 1: Rumors that she may be performing and coming out of
- 13:02Speaker 1: illness to perform in the opening ceremony, so that'd be amazing.

- 13:07Speaker 1: No, no, no, tell you what makes me nervous every
- 13:13Speaker 1: time you say that. I don't even want to say
- 13:16Speaker 1: that name.
- 13:17Speaker 11: I'd rather because the Olympics all day like talking about

- 27:27Speaker 4: forty whatever. It's just an age.

- 27:39Speaker 1: What?
- 27:39Speaker 4: What would you tell your younger self?

- 27:45Speaker 3: by the.
- 27:45Speaker 1: Time you're eighteen. You look back at everything and you're like, oh, jeez,

- 28:23Speaker 4: a tear. A midlife crisis is so cliche, and I
- 28:27Speaker 4: refuse to waste my days away. It's forty is not
- 28:30Speaker 4: about the years. It brings you strength to conquer fears.
- 28:34Speaker 4: There's privilege and living long. It's not reserved for everyone.
- 28:38Speaker 4: I refuse to cringe at this new stage, these those
- 28:42Speaker 4: who didn't make this age, because I'm alive and I'm
- 28:44Speaker 4: still here, and I plan to cherish every year. Forty
- 28:48Speaker 4: years has taught me this. It's love, joy and dreams
- 28:51Speaker 4: you'll miss, not the stress and time spent thinking about

- 28:59Speaker 4: a whole lotly on with the others, like my dreass.
- 29:02Speaker 4: People will always have their say, but you can choose
- 29:06Speaker 4: to walk away. My daughter will look up to me,
- 29:09Speaker 4: so I'll do my best to make her see a
- 29:11Speaker 4: woman's worth as hold inside and baby, just enjoy the right.
- 29:16Speaker 3: Oh that's beautiful. Gpt read a wonderful.
- 29:23Speaker 1: So he didn't rhyme.
- 29:24Speaker 12: One of the things that Jona wan Ben podcast.
- 29:30Speaker 3: I would tell Megan right now, happy fortieth And.
- 29:39Speaker 4: Does that mean it's midlife?
- 29:41Speaker 3: Well pretty much if you take the life the average
- 29:43Speaker 3: lifespan of the human being. What would you tell your
- 29:47Speaker 3: younger self, Okay, being boys.
- 29:49Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna say, and I think I've mentioned
- 29:50Speaker 1: this before, when you look back and it's it's okay
- 29:54Speaker 1: not to be cool like you weren't. I wasn't cool,
- 29:57Speaker 1: and I probably tried to be and it's okay. And
- 30:00Speaker 1: I think you're looking back, particularly through high school most
- 30:02Speaker 1: of it, you know, and I'm not trying to shame anyone,
- 30:03Speaker 1: but a lot of the people you thought were cool,
- 30:05Speaker 1: they probably peaked.
- 30:08Speaker 4: But some of them, you know, but your uncoolness is
- 30:12Speaker 4: your coolness.
- 30:12Speaker 1: Yeah, embrace there.
- 30:13Speaker 4: That's what I like about you.
- 30:15Speaker 1: And I love that, you know, there's so many you know,
- 30:17Speaker 1: my kids and your kids and our kids are growing
- 30:19Speaker 1: up in a world it seems like now where people
- 30:21Speaker 1: are embracing the unique things about themselves, not you're trying
- 30:24Speaker 1: to be exactly like everyone else. Well it's all changed
- 30:27Speaker 1: and then people are all different, and I think that's
- 30:29Speaker 1: kind of cool. So I was like, hey, embrace who
- 30:31Speaker 1: you are and try not to worry about other people. Think.
- 30:33Speaker 1: It's easy to say, it harder to do. But that's
- 30:35Speaker 1: what I would.
- 30:35Speaker 3: Say, what are you You know I'm going to say, Megan,
- 30:38Speaker 3: you pick it up.

- 33:54Speaker 3: narcissistic ex husband.
- 33:57Speaker 4: Amen, we've all got the first one that we should.
- 34:01Speaker 2: The heads that John and Ben podcast.
- 34:04Speaker 1: All this week about how long it took me to
- 34:06Speaker 1: get back from the States. A whole lot of delayed flights.
- 34:12Speaker 4: Did you go to the state?
- 34:13Speaker 1: Canceled flights when you go to be bringing up? But
- 34:18Speaker 1: it's all I got to talk about, guys. But I
- 34:20Speaker 1: had a really awkward moment on one of the flights
- 34:23Speaker 1: from you know where you're sitting, you're not sitting on
- 34:28Speaker 1: the aisle seat, but you need to go to the bathroom,
- 34:29Speaker 1: and someone's actually asleep on the and there's that clambering
- 34:33Speaker 1: over process. You're like, you wait for them to wake up,
- 34:35Speaker 1: wait for them to go to the bathroom. It's not
- 34:37Speaker 1: going to I got to the stage she was like,
- 34:38Speaker 1: it's not going to happen. I'm gonna have to quietly
- 34:40Speaker 1: try and clamber over the top.
- 34:41Speaker 3: Is this a stranger?
- 34:42Speaker 1: Is it a stranger?
- 34:43Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 34:44Speaker 1: And what it was I was borrowing my daughter. She's
- 34:46Speaker 1: got some ear pods, and I've been borrowed her EarPods,
- 34:49Speaker 1: you know the ones that just are certain years. And
- 34:51Speaker 1: as I was quietly clamming over, one of the ear
- 34:54Speaker 1: pods fell out. I fell directly into the sky's cross.
- 34:58Speaker 4: Now, how old is this guy?
- 35:00Speaker 1: He's probably I would say thirties, in his thirties.
- 35:03Speaker 3: And this is the problem with the eir pods is
- 35:05Speaker 3: you know the old corded versions that were you said
- 35:07Speaker 3: they were like leashes for air pods. You'd never have
- 35:10Speaker 3: this issue.
- 35:11Speaker 1: So I didn't know I was at that position. I
- 35:12Speaker 1: was like, well, I could just bend down the gram
- 35:14Speaker 1: and then he can potentially wake up and I'll be
- 35:16Speaker 1: like trying to you know, it's gonna look it's gonna
- 35:19Speaker 1: look dodgy, right, but do you leave it there.
- 35:20Speaker 4: Because you might regle around, use your AirPods, just use
- 35:23Speaker 4: your hand of your mouth? Was he cute.
- 35:27Speaker 1: My mouth?
- 35:31Speaker 3: He wakes up and you just got this airport of
- 35:32Speaker 3: between your teeth down by his crutch.
- 35:35Speaker 2: It's the johonaan Ben podcast.
- 35:37Speaker 3: Yesterday helped the stranded motors. So there's two lanes of traffic.
- 35:41Speaker 3: The inside lane there was a car not moving. Now,
- 35:44Speaker 3: my first instinctive is is an obnoxious driver in the
- 35:48Speaker 3: sent honk?
- 35:49Speaker 1: What are you doing?
- 35:50Speaker 3: Wave some arms, you know, get that thing going. But
- 35:53Speaker 3: I didn't because I could see they were a little flustered.
- 35:56Speaker 3: Cars behind me couldn't see that they were flustered, and
- 35:58Speaker 3: so they were honking in using up a storm. Don't
- 36:01Speaker 3: you worry about that? Abuse was coming? So I was like, well,
- 36:04Speaker 3: I should try and help help this person. So I
- 36:07Speaker 3: pulled the car over and I walked back. But as
- 36:10Speaker 3: I'm walking back slowly, You're like, I'm like, deep down inside,
- 36:13Speaker 3: I'm like, I have no mechanical expertise whatsoever. There is
- 36:18Speaker 3: nothing I have in my skill set that I could
- 36:20Speaker 3: do to help this person. All I could do is
- 36:22Speaker 3: maybe push push a car up neutral into a safer position.
- 36:27Speaker 3: So I arrived there and she's like, oh, don't I
- 36:30Speaker 3: don't know what's happening. I don't know what's happening. I
- 36:31Speaker 3: was like, don't worry, don't worry, talking like this, don't worry.
- 36:35Speaker 3: I was like, you hop out. Let me get.
- 36:37Speaker 9: In the seat.
- 36:38Speaker 1: In the seat, take a look around.
- 36:40Speaker 3: Okay. I was like, I'll put it in neutral for you,
- 36:43Speaker 3: and then I'll go down and push it all right.
- 36:45Speaker 3: So I put a neutral go down and I was
- 36:46Speaker 3: pushing in the car. I wouldn't move. I was like,
- 36:49Speaker 3: this is embarrassing.
- 36:51Speaker 1: I was walking the dog and I just could not
- 36:53Speaker 1: get the car. Oh my god, trying to hold the dog.
- 36:55Speaker 1: I was raging the dog.
- 36:57Speaker 3: It's you know it And was even on a slight
- 37:01Speaker 3: slight little hell and I'm like patching and other people
- 37:03Speaker 3: are looking at me and got no corse streets. And
- 37:07Speaker 3: then I went back to the car the lady and said,
- 37:09Speaker 3: is it not?
- 37:09Speaker 1: Is it neutral? Neutral?
- 37:11Speaker 3: I'm starting to get flustered, and she's like, oh, no,
- 37:13Speaker 3: it is. It is, but it's just the cars locked basically.
- 37:17Speaker 3: And then she's like, oh, I've run out of petrol.
- 37:21Speaker 3: And I'm thinking to myself, I'm just organized. Do you
- 37:24Speaker 3: have to be as a growing adult to run out
- 37:26Speaker 3: of picture?
- 37:26Speaker 1: It happens?
- 37:27Speaker 3: Though?
- 37:27Speaker 1: It does happen.
- 37:28Speaker 3: And so her car in this case, when it was
- 37:31Speaker 3: out of guests just seize and I was like, oh, well,
- 37:36Speaker 3: so good luck out there. And so I left her
- 37:38Speaker 3: to a sea of honking and abuse. Felt terrible, but
- 37:41Speaker 3: then guess what happened. I picked my daughter up. This
- 37:45Speaker 3: is nine minutes later our car starts go, I run
- 37:50Speaker 3: out of petrol.
- 37:52Speaker 1: After just thinking.
- 37:53Speaker 3: Internally, I didn't even vocalize. I was like, well, idiot runs.
- 37:56Speaker 4: Out of petrol, and and then we're probably exactly exactly,
- 38:01Speaker 4: so yeah, they don't have to deal there give the petrol.
- 38:03Speaker 4: Kid us, there was a nightmare, So tell us, how
- 38:05Speaker 4: does a grown adult run out of it? Did you
- 38:07Speaker 4: just ignore the petrol light?
- 38:09Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're there growing out?
- 38:10Speaker 12: Does he play some meds, the hits that John and
- 38:12Speaker 12: Ben podcast legit.
- 38:14Speaker 4: There, guys, you know, we're just happy you're here.
- 38:20Speaker 1: Out of there just being was.
- 38:22Speaker 3: Like during the songs, he's am I talking too much
- 38:23Speaker 3: about USA stories? And I said, not enough.
- 38:28Speaker 1: You're like playing this as well?
- 38:29Speaker 3: I do.
- 38:30Speaker 1: Yeah, before I left to go across, because we went
- 38:32Speaker 1: across and visited some family went who loved a just
- 38:35Speaker 1: and my my wife's brothers both live in the States.
- 38:38Speaker 1: One lives in sand friend one loves just out of
- 38:40Speaker 1: New York and Long Island. We never visited the one
- 38:42Speaker 1: in New York before, so we thought we'd go over
- 38:44Speaker 1: there and take the kids over there. And cracked that
- 38:47Speaker 1: up on the credit card bell as well. So that's
- 38:49Speaker 1: really cool. ACU. You go to Long Island because it's beautiful,
- 38:52Speaker 1: like deer and squirrels and like it's quite well, yeah,
- 38:55Speaker 1: it's and then you go into New York City and
- 38:57Speaker 1: it's all craziness as well. But before we left, their
- 38:59Speaker 1: boss was like, maybe you'll see some famous people when
- 39:01Speaker 1: you're over there in America.
- 39:03Speaker 4: So I was like, it's not all y.
- 39:07Speaker 3: I don't hold much faith in you as a married
- 39:09Speaker 3: couple recognizing famous people. Because your wife famously confused world
- 39:14Speaker 3: famous surfer Kelly Slater for musician Jake Johnson. Yeah, so
- 39:19Speaker 3: she had to engauge on famous.
- 39:21Speaker 1: She had a moment actually in New York because you're very,
- 39:23Speaker 1: very busy. It's just incredible city, like there's so much
- 39:27Speaker 1: going on. And we were walking across and Kallie Bell,
- 39:29Speaker 1: the country singer you know from New Zealand, she was
- 39:31Speaker 1: in New York and we messaged my like we should
- 39:32Speaker 1: catch up for coffee. So we're going across to see her.
- 39:35Speaker 1: We were running a little bit late, trying to get through,
- 39:37Speaker 1: and then my wife was walking along. She's like, I
- 39:39Speaker 1: think I've seen someone in a car, and she's like,
- 39:44Speaker 1: over there, it's just driving along. It's got drivers going
- 39:47Speaker 1: on and as My wife as a huge fan of
- 39:49Speaker 1: sex in the city. She's like, it is Sarah, Jessica Parker,
- 39:52Speaker 1: Carrie Bradshaw. It's just how iconic is this and New York.
- 39:56Speaker 1: And I looked at the car and I don't know
- 39:57Speaker 1: a lot of cars, and we couldn't see the people
- 40:00Speaker 1: the car, but I was like, I think this it's
- 40:01Speaker 1: like a Toyota camera or something like. It's It's like
- 40:04Speaker 1: it's not yeah, but she's sitting in the back short drivers.
- 40:07Speaker 1: I was like, maybe she's trying to blend and I
- 40:09Speaker 1: don't know, but anyway, we were glad. I'm like, well,
- 40:11Speaker 1: if you want to stay here and wait for this
- 40:12Speaker 1: car to get the intersection, that's fine, but we need
- 40:15Speaker 1: to get I'm going to go across.
- 40:16Speaker 3: It could be per and an uber.
- 40:18Speaker 1: Well true. So she waited there and we watched her
- 40:21Speaker 1: wait from the other side of the road way. She
- 40:24Speaker 1: had to phone out. She really goes. She was pretending
- 40:26Speaker 1: to film O the staff, waiting for this car to
- 40:28Speaker 1: get closer and close to the end of six you
- 40:30Speaker 1: get closer closer there and you could see as it
- 40:32Speaker 1: were close, my wife comes down from the shot in
- 40:34Speaker 1: the building straight onto the back street of the back
- 40:36Speaker 1: seat of the car, and this lady in the back
- 40:38Speaker 1: of the car she got she was a Pepparazi. She
- 40:40Speaker 1: got the shot this lady looking directly up at her,
- 40:44Speaker 1: like looking at her like what the hell are you doing?
- 40:46Speaker 1: Like wasn't but she wasn't. She got the great She
- 40:55Speaker 1: got the great shot. So now on her phone, she
- 40:58Speaker 1: got this random shot something some poor lady just talking
- 41:01Speaker 1: about her business and she gets pepped in the New
- 41:06Speaker 1: York as well. So that was as close as we
- 41:08Speaker 1: got to celebrity signings, although I did think maybe I
- 41:11Speaker 1: saw Carrie Hart, who's married to Pink and the motocross Ray.
- 41:15Speaker 1: He's got a tanto shop in Florida though hustle on
- 41:18Speaker 1: Hart and I looked through the window and I was like,
- 41:19Speaker 1: it looks like carry Heart tanting someone, you know. I
- 41:22Speaker 1: took a photo, but I was too scared to go
- 41:23Speaker 1: on and go is that Carry Hart?
- 41:26Speaker 3: So people are like bald people, they all look the same.
- 41:29Speaker 1: It's got a camp, he's got carry Heart.
- 41:34Speaker 3: Did you also see your life flesh before your eyes
- 41:37Speaker 3: when you got your credit card? Yeah?
- 41:40Speaker 1: Yeah, that was definitely the thing I saw the most.
- 41:43Speaker 1: And there you go, celebrity smiling
