  Speaker 3: out to the airport, we'll be crossing live with rolling coverage.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Yesterday mentioned had an intruder in their house and I've
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: really oversold it. I've done that radio thing where it
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: was a it was just a bird.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: To be honest, was it a fantail? There's really bad luck.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: What death?
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it means something something or someone in
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: your life's going to die.
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: Sweet and the Lake, Yeah, I know it's not.
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: Good fantail came like, this guy's already dead on the inside.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Nothing we can do in this house. But yeah, it
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: was kind of like a sparrow. But my issue with
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: when birds come into the house, everyone's in a flap.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: The bird's flapping, I'm flapping. It's out of its natural environment,
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: and all parties are equally surprised to see each other,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: you know, and the bird doesn't know any exit point.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: Because there's glass everywhere. They're smacking into the windows thinking
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: that's how they're getting out.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: And sometimes I don't know why, but a bird's biological
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: reaction to being trapped inside, it's just defecate everywhere, just
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: all over the place, you know, bang, flying to a window,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: poop there, I'm walking over here, or poopo here.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: So to be finding bird poo for a while.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And I was trying to remain calm because I
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: think last year or the year before, someone phoned up
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Wonderful Hits Listen To phoned up and actually said, if
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: there's ever a bird in the house, simple trick you
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: do is just shut all the curtains apart from a
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: little gap where you can open the door and they
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: can see the light and I was trying to do that,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: but I was trying to communicate to the bird, It's
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: all right, mate, just stay there, I'll shut I'll do
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: all this and it'll be fine. So we need like
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: an app where we can communicate and then that passes
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: on to the bird.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: You know, like you travel overseas and you're in a
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: foreign country or something that would.
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: Be maybe elon can get onto that.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: And they just can't. For whatever reason, birds can't figure
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: out the concept of glass. You know, I'll give you
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: one slam into the glass too, maybe three tops, but
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: by then you need to say to yourself, this isn't
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: the exit point. Yeah, but they just keep going.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: They're gonna break their neck and then you're gonna, yeahd
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: make it out.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: It made it out this time. This time the had
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: a safe eggs at. Once we got home, there was
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: like a pigeon for weirdly sitting and popping my daughter's
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: barbie house. Got on through the chimney and it was
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: just like sitting there like steering, you know how they
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: kind of look at you, sort of calmly, like a
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: serial murderer of pigeons tilts their head so that one
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: was injured. Couldn't fly, carried it out, put it on
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: the deck and boy a boy, did that met a
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: grizzly end with the neighbor's cat. It was the sircle
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: of love and we'll watch through the window. It was
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: a massacre. Yeah, but anyway, good one.
• 6:34

• 6:49
  Speaker 3: of you. I'm talking to the taxi driver who's taking
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: us to the airport. And guess what he is punishing
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: the taxi driver about. If you could pick three to
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: one of the three things that Ben boys to be
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: punishing the taxi driver about. Probably his credit card payments
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: with the insurance company he's going to cover it.
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, did he mention Donald Trump?
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: Didn't mention Donald Trump? Cricket? Cricket his other love cricket.

  Speaker 3: cricket in your life.

• 7:31
  Speaker 3: rules of cricket, excite cricket, and then he goes on
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: to explain the twitty twitty format, the one day format,
• 7:38

  Speaker 3: long day of travel look ten years younger.

  Speaker 4: Just so that the bruising could go down.
• 8:44

  Speaker 3: She's not been well.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: No, she's got stiff person syndrome and it affects her
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: quite a lot. I don't think she's going to be
• 9:37

• 9:40
  Speaker 2: her performance.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Is it actually what it sees it is? She's stiff
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: all the time.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: It's an autoimmune neurological disorder, so it affects her muscle.

  Speaker 2: seizures and it's really painful.
• 9:53
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I will be lovely to see her at the
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: opening ceremony. Really excited about the Olympics. I love watching
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: the Olympic. There's always a weird time too for us too,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: So it's like usually we're just watching that weird infomercial
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: on TV where it kind of locks people in that
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: orgasmic massage chair and they look like they're on the
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: verge of climax.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: You know that one one of these there's a woman
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: in like.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: A chisty top.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like, why is she in like a gown?
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Because there's some director going We're going to need to
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: see more chests out and then sell cheers. It's affected weird,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: it's a fact at the cheer game. But who has
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: one of those of the loud I know?
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: And who he's a dress in it?
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Anyway, I don't have to watch that. Next week the
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: Olympics will be on. That's that's a good thing. Hey,
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: we have fresh off two weeks holiday and I spent
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: a lot of time just doing chores and I'm not handy,
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: not handy at all. But then there was one job
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: that was festering away. So in the shower we have tiles, right,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: and the tiles are joined together by the grouting. But
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: then when one tile joins another, say in a corner,
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: you then have to do something which is called corking.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: So it's like we have a sort of a rubber
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: latex material that joins that gap so then it doesn't
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: leak through, it.
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: Doesn't get water.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: And I gave corking a go, and I was very nervous.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: Went to Bunnings and I was like, I'm new to corking,
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: never done corking. He's like, you're going to need this,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: this and this. Good luck out there gave me some
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: corking tips, but I didn't Even though the person was
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: very helpful that I still didn't feel confident enough. So
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: I went to YouTube. Now I wanted to. I wanted
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: to pass on this as a bit of a public
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: service announcement. Be helpful on the show. If you are
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: ever corking, take a listen to this helpful advice. Okay,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: because it definitely helped you. It got me through it.
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Here we go.
• 11:44
  Speaker 14: The final step to finishing any taile job is to
• 11:47
  Speaker 14: cock the corners. The reason for the cock is that
• 11:49
  Speaker 14: the grout is not flexible, and so we'll break out
• 11:52
  Speaker 14: of the corners over time. The cock will also provide
• 11:54
  Speaker 14: a watertight seal in the corner. I'll also cock the top.
• 11:58
  Speaker 14: There's a lot of calking to do, and this is
• 12:00
  Speaker 14: the way they look before they're cocked. In this case,
• 12:02
  Speaker 14: I'm using the sanded cock latex cock. The other two
• 12:07
  Speaker 14: you're going to need is your index finger, because you're
• 12:08
  Speaker 14: going to use the tip of that finger to smooth
• 12:11
  Speaker 14: the cock. Always start small. You can always make your
• 12:14
  Speaker 14: cock cut a little bit larger, but you don't want
• 12:18
  Speaker 14: to make it too big.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: To begin with, So happy cooking. Everybody. Okay, it will
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: help you if you Yeah, thank you, no problems.
• 12:26

  Speaker 3: That's niche Unfortunately, now the setting is not in the pub.

  Speaker 3: be no good on the live news and another good question, prime,
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: and but I completely forgot.
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: What I loant is the confirmation on the little arrivals
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: board that he has landed.
• 22:23
  Speaker 16: Yes, we definitely have the landed sign. Now great, but yeah,
• 22:28
  Speaker 16: there's a few flights that have just landed. It's a
• 22:30
  Speaker 16: bit of food traffic, but that's okay. Big of the crowd,
• 22:33
  Speaker 16: the better reaction, I guess.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: You know, if this was radio about ten or fifteen
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: years ago, we would have called customs and gone, hey
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: there's guy been Boyce's carrying somebody, you know, snaggling. Something's
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: got bomb.
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: Make I think that exactly weapon, I think I.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: Remember, maybe it's subliminate subconsciously in my mind. So we
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: haven't done that though. All we've done is given him
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: a nice welcome home party. So that's what we've been come.

• 23:46
  Speaker 2: The jokes about this is the greatest ever lighter. Everyone's
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: hoping he lights like a joint while I don't think
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: that's allowed.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: But they do a lot of drug testing at the Olympics.
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: It's true.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously not drug testing the torch carrier.
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: He's also have you heard his kids TV show?
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: Uh No, I've heard his commentary. Does Olympic commentary. Did
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: last Olympics with Kevin Hard. It was hilarious. So I

• 24:13
  Speaker 3: realize he was getting into kid's television.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so my three year old even knows who Snoop

• 24:48
  Speaker 3: I'm just waiting for a submission of hose or there's nothing.

• 25:32
  Speaker 3: He flew himself to America on an absolute whim. He

  Speaker 3: got to the end of the two weeks and he
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: was literally walking onto the plane at LAX. He was
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: in the departure lounge and he got a big message
• 25:59

• 26:07
  Speaker 3: I'm ad libbing here. I don't know what Snoop on

  Speaker 4: Can you imagine how many dm Snoop dog gets.

  Speaker 3: It's crazy to filter.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Through and actually respond when he probably gets a million
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: of those days.
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: I think he must have got to a certain level
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: of snoops people right, Yeah, and her harassed them and
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: so he ended up recording with him in his studio.

  Speaker 3: giving me a familiar smile, you know, and I couldn't
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: figure out if we'd met before or not.
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: It was fifty three en in these situations, I.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Don't know the time, I don't know. And so she's
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: looking at me and I've come fresh off a hug
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: and a bang cheek and she's smiling at me, and
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: I'm like, well, I've hugged someone in front of her.
• 27:58
  Speaker 3: She's going to need a hug.
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: She's does you don't think you know that person? You
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: don't hug them?
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: Jo, Well, I went in for a hug. It was
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: a gamble. It was fifty to fifty years to whether
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: I did know them. And guess what, you turned out
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: I didn't because I got there. You know what, the
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: moment that I realized I didn't, I got the oh
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: a hug, Oh a hug, And no hugger ever wants
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: to hear oh a hug because at that moment you
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: realize I have no idea who this person is. They
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: have no And now I'm now I'm the first let's
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: meet each other first time, and I have a hug.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Person like, at least you've gone in too friendly than
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: being a jerk.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: You know, she's gonna say.
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: I don't want to leave. I didn't want to leave
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: A hug.
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, hopefully friendly.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Actually the warning signs were there because as soon as
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: I went for the hug, she kind of left her
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: arms beside her body and so I ended up rapping,
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: so she was kind of locked in my embrace without
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: you'll get.
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: An email from someone.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're clearly not on hugging terms. But now now
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: my question is to you, now we have hugged, next
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: time I see this person.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Now it'll be an ongoing Joe needs to be a
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: hugg Yeah, you need your hug.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: She was like, no, I don't.
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I wonder your quick question to also to
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: hug or not to hug if you're fifty to fifty
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: on whether you know someone.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: I think the general rulers don't thank you, you know, like,
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: don't don't body slam someone if you don't think you
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: know them.

  Speaker 3: didn't it didn't taste you know, do they know you're
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: lying in that situation?
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: I think they knew you were lying because you were
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: like and then no details. Don't feel bad, though, because
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: this is something that me and my husband do all
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: the time, really overseas. So you know when you travel
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: and sometimes the hotel will ask you is it a
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: special occasion?
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: We always say it's our anniversary, just because.
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you'll get like a little like chalky plate and
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: it's like, can be anniversary?
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: So what you get? Is it traditionally just free chocolate?
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, or like a little treat in your room sometimes
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: or sometimes if you're lucky, they might upgrade you to
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: a different room.
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: They don't know, and they never ask for like a
• 38:08
  Speaker 4: wedding certificate.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: They don't.
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you've just got to go on and be like.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: They must go They must know you're lying.
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: You've got to sell it. You've got to know you're
• 38:18
  Speaker 4: going to do it, and you've got to be like, yeah,
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: oh my god, it's so many years. Give them more details.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: Than they wants. That johnaan Ben podcast.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: Talking about when you've lied about a special occasion. Didn't
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: feel good about it. I see if we're having a
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: special occasion, And I got a free cupcake, free cupcake
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: with a candle in it, and it tasted the cupcake
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: tasted like diabetes and deceit all in one. Didn't taste lies.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: And also they totally knew you were lying because they
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: asked what if you a special occasion?
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: You just said yes, yeah, no details.
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: Here's a tip for new players into the special occasion
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: lie game. Have it in your head that you're going
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: in there to lie about a special occasion. Because I
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: was called off guard by the question, then my response
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: is probably equally as frazzled. So yeah, I like, and
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: we did ask. You know, does the industry know when
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: you are lying about a special occasion and someone has
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: called through to one hundred that HiT's Melissa who actually
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: works in a hotel, and you can tell you you
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: can tell when we are lying, Melissa, Yes, oh god,
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: they can, can you actually?
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: Yep?
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: But then you have to play the game and you
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: have to go out there and put bloody free chocolates
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: on pillows.
• 39:30
  Speaker 19: No, it's easy to tell, is it?
• 39:33
  Speaker 13: What is it?
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: Is it the pause?
• 39:37
  Speaker 19: You can normally tell by if they're excited or not,
• 39:40
  Speaker 19: or it's just the tone of the voice. Even if
• 39:43
  Speaker 19: it wasn't believable, I'd probably go along with it just
• 39:46
  Speaker 19: to yeah, you feel special.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: Thank you very much.
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: I told you it was all about the enthusiasm. Oh
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: my god, yes.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: Actually we need to put on a better performance. Yeah,
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: thank you so much. Really, appreciate your time, no worries
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: and hello the heads.
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: Did you lie about a special occasion?
• 40:03
  Speaker 15: Hi, not so much a special occasion, but I always
• 40:06
  Speaker 15: make my kids lie about their age so they get
• 40:09
  Speaker 15: in for cheaper. We go into swimming pools or restaurants.
• 40:14
  Speaker 15: You know, they're like under twelve six dollars. So I'm like, okay, son,
• 40:17
  Speaker 15: you're eleven. I'm thirteen, and I'm like, shot if up, okay,
• 40:24
  Speaker 15: I know.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: Do you know I did this once with my my
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: almost three year old. You had to be like one
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: to get in for free, and I was like, do
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: not talk, do not say anything.
• 40:33
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I've done that with my daughter. She's four, but yeah,
• 40:35

  Speaker 3: floor for about two times.
• 41:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So the floors fixed, the fridge is fixed.
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: But then the dishwasher died.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: And I know this sounds like I sound like a
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: joke for anyone who doesn't have a dishwasher. But as

  Speaker 2: soon as that goes out of commission, God, the admin
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: of actually.
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: Doing dishes probably one of the most.
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: Mind numbing tasks.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: It is, yeah, but one of the most disrespected appliances
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: in the household. You really take get for granted, the dishwasher.
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: And I'm about to illustrate how because our dishwasher wasn't
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: like emptying, right, and so we pulled it apart.
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: We were like, obviously something stuck in there, pulled it
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: apart ourselves several.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: Times and couldn't find anything. It's making a hell of
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: a noise. So we're like, we're gonna have to do it.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: We're gonna have to call a repair person to come out.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: And so he came yesterday.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: Did your banter because we've had that conversation whether you like,
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: whether the repair people like the banter or they'd rather
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: just shut up and get on with the job. Did
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: you bance?
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: We did bance.

  Speaker 2: Generally, I don't like bands with the people I don't know,
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: I get a bit awkward.
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: But he was really lovely. We had bants about the
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: weather and all the hot topics.
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he had someone he had another customer call him
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: and I could hear this person, very loud and middle aged.
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: Middle aged man called him and he was the next job.
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: He said to him that he lived in a very
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: affluent part of Auckland.
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: He said, just.
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: Make yourself at home. The house is wide open. We
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: might not be there before you leave, but just just
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: leave and leave it open. It's not a problem.
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: I was like, what can you say, make yourself at home?

  Speaker 13: Here's the dress?
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: But the worst part was so he finally fixed the dishwasher.
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: It took him five minutes at best. There was a
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: piece of plastic stuck in there. I don't know where
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: the plastic came from. And he was such a nice guy, but.

• 44:22
  Speaker 3: was like, have you been flushing wipes down here? We're like, nape, No, definitely,
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: not one hundred percent. Now, don't you even accuse us

• 44:31
  Speaker 3: with this giant clump of wipes at this hand. He's like,
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: that'll be turning fifty dollars six for the caller.
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: There's nothing more confronting than them going through your guns. Yeah,
