- 1:02Speaker 4: Out of it a little bit.
- 1:03Speaker 2: One thing that I need to do.
- 1:04Speaker 5: There, drive around the roundabout with the train track in
- 1:08Speaker 5: the middle.
- 1:09Speaker 4: Just give a ship out of you.
- 1:10Speaker 5: At train track in the middle of around huge roundabout. Yeah, wow, okay,
- 1:13Speaker 5: and we're the train goes through. Everyone's like, what do
- 1:16Speaker 5: we do? Because you could be halfway through it just
- 1:20Speaker 5: gotta wait.
- 1:20Speaker 2: It feels like there's a bit of misshap in the
- 1:22Speaker 2: town planning.
- 1:23Speaker 5: And there's no traffic lights. As far as I'm Awaream
- 1:26Speaker 5: still doesn't have any.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Master and I think we had one when I was little,
- 1:29Speaker 1: and then they got rid of that and they're like,
- 1:30Speaker 1: why we stopped here?
- 1:32Speaker 3: There's no traffic we wanted to hear like a big city.
- 1:36Speaker 2: I was like, what, this is pointless? So anyway, there's
- 1:39Speaker 2: just round about, round about, round about, town meeting, meeting
- 1:42Speaker 2: or not.
- 1:43Speaker 1: When you're sitting here, there's no reason for me to
- 1:45Speaker 1: be stopped right now.
- 1:47Speaker 3: I hope you enjoyed the podcast fist I've been winking
- 1:51Speaker 3: and winking.
- 1:52Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 1:53Speaker 1: I wanted to explain my story on the radio and
- 1:56Speaker 1: you can. You can choose whether you believe it or not.
- 1:57Speaker 1: So I was at the mall yesterday to go to
- 2:00Speaker 1: the ball to get something for my daughter, yeah, which
- 2:02Speaker 1: she wanted to pick up a birthday present, and we're
- 2:04Speaker 1: all going to the going to the food courts. She
- 2:06Speaker 1: also wanted chips from KFC, so I'm like, okay, so yeah,
- 2:11Speaker 1: so we're on our way doing that, and we're going
- 2:13Speaker 1: it's one of the flasher malls in town. So we're
- 2:14Speaker 1: going past a whole lot of stores that we normally,
- 2:17Speaker 1: you know, you normally walk past. Were As I say,
- 2:19Speaker 1: we're on our way to get chips from KF. We
- 2:22Speaker 1: had no place shopping in some of these flasher shops.
- 2:24Speaker 1: But I did notice that on one of the shops,
- 2:27Speaker 1: instead of like a poster out in the shop window,
- 2:30Speaker 1: they had a screen playing like a video on loop
- 2:34Speaker 1: and it was Ariana Grande course this wicked stuff everywhere
- 2:37Speaker 1: all over the place, and she's one of the main
- 2:38Speaker 1: actors and she does an ad what I just saw
- 2:42Speaker 1: as I was walking past an ad for those crystals.
- 2:45Speaker 2: Never had to say it, but yeah, I was watching that.
- 2:47Speaker 3: It was like another, well, looky, yeah, I can't say.
- 2:52Speaker 2: That, check a v in it.
- 2:55Speaker 1: So anyway, Ariana is doing this ad and I'm walking
- 2:57Speaker 1: past my daughter as as I'm watching the Green. It's
- 3:00Speaker 1: playing this ad with the grande and at the end
- 3:02Speaker 1: of it, she sort of holds up the crystal. She's
- 3:04Speaker 1: probably getting paid a lot, but she says happily holding
- 3:06Speaker 1: him up, and she sort of winks at the camera
- 3:08Speaker 1: and she's to hold those crystals. It's nice little wink.
- 3:12Speaker 1: And as I was looking, I was like, oh, wink.
- 3:13Speaker 1: And I was in my head and I thought, I
- 3:16Speaker 1: can't remember the last time I've winked.
- 3:18Speaker 2: You know, this is all my thought process.
- 3:20Speaker 3: It's not a daily occurrence. And it's really hard to
- 3:23Speaker 3: make a wink look natural too.
- 3:24Speaker 2: It was the last time we went I just winked it.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Our boss did.
- 3:29Speaker 4: I was practicing.
- 3:30Speaker 7: He walked in.
- 3:31Speaker 1: I was like, this is what happened to me. So
- 3:32Speaker 1: in my head, I was like, when was the last
- 3:34Speaker 1: time I waked? Could I still pull for wet? It
- 3:36Speaker 1: just looks like your faces glitching, don't I was smiling,
- 3:39Speaker 1: look at her head, and as I tuned around, I
- 3:40Speaker 1: smiled and I winked, and I.
- 3:42Speaker 2: Just went just thinking, oh, yeah, I could still wait,
- 3:44Speaker 2: show me a wink.
- 3:47Speaker 1: But I was smiling. But I smiled and winked, and
- 3:51Speaker 1: as I smiled and wanke just thinking in my head, Oh,
- 3:53Speaker 1: I could smile and wink.
- 3:54Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 3:55Speaker 1: I caught eyes with a lady. Another lady was walking
- 3:58Speaker 1: with her daughter and I'm and I'm working, I miss
- 4:01Speaker 1: fine wink and then she looked and she looked at me,
- 4:04Speaker 1: and she should have did that take back? We're like,
- 4:06Speaker 1: is he is he wink a wink? No, she was
- 4:09Speaker 1: just her eyes said, oh my god, that guy.
- 4:11Speaker 2: Just winked at me.
- 4:12Speaker 3: Tell everyone and I is the eyeball equivalent depending you
- 4:16Speaker 3: on the barm is yeah?
- 4:17Speaker 2: And I went and we were about ten minutes a way.

- 4:23Speaker 1: I said, no.
- 4:23Speaker 4: I wasn't no, don't They said, no, I wasn't.
- 4:26Speaker 1: Waking at you like this, and she this is all
- 4:28Speaker 1: happening in the space of five to ten meters. She
- 4:31Speaker 1: turned around and there was no one behind it, and
- 4:34Speaker 1: she just went, who are.
- 4:35Speaker 2: You winking at? Did she say?
- 4:36Speaker 5: This? Is said?
- 4:37Speaker 1: And then all she said was that I said nothing,
- 4:39Speaker 1: and we just keept walking past.
- 4:41Speaker 2: So that was our conversation and you.
- 4:44Speaker 4: Just not seeing anything. And she would have been like

- 5:33Speaker 2: so far you have not heard it.
- 5:35Speaker 5: I haven't, and I'm kind of getting to the point
- 5:38Speaker 5: where I'm like, i just want to hear it because
- 5:41Speaker 5: I'm like, okay, I'm ver i osee Christmas.
- 5:44Speaker 3: We're playing you listening and everyone on the station has
- 5:46Speaker 3: been playing as well.
- 5:47Speaker 2: And as soon as we're all out.
- 5:49Speaker 3: Meghan been the last one standing, we start officially playing
- 5:51Speaker 3: the song on the station.
- 5:52Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm a bit of a handbreak at the moment.
- 5:55Speaker 2: It's fine, it's fine. We've been playing a little drummer
- 5:58Speaker 2: boy and stuff like that.
- 5:59Speaker 9: It's on you every time you hear.
- 6:05Speaker 2: This song from the j.
- 6:08Speaker 3: Yeah, so yesterday you avoided the terrorist Tasha. Tasha, the
- 6:14Speaker 3: terrorists who's manipulated the downfall of both may McLean A
- 6:18Speaker 3: and Being Boys. She we played a game of tash Roulette.
- 6:21Speaker 3: She was on hold and you had another two callers.
- 6:23Speaker 3: You had to just go to a line blind. If
- 6:25Speaker 3: you went to her, she was definitely going to play
- 6:26Speaker 3: it down the line, but no, you picked the right person.
- 6:28Speaker 4: I dodged her.
- 6:29Speaker 1: Today, another little fun game we want to play with
- 6:31Speaker 1: another radio station here at work, just across from US
- 6:34Speaker 1: Coast radio station.
- 6:35Speaker 2: They're playing a lot of Christmas songs apparently.
- 6:37Speaker 8: Oh yeah, they're deep their elbows deep in Christmas now.
- 6:40Speaker 3: They've decorated the studio and everything, and Mariah Carey would
- 6:43Speaker 3: be a big banger on their playlist. So what we're
- 6:45Speaker 3: going to do is we're gonna phone them. They know
- 6:46Speaker 3: we're going to call, and they get up there off
- 6:48Speaker 3: here and then going to put us on hold. And
- 6:49Speaker 3: we're on hold for a station that you can hear
- 6:52Speaker 3: the music they're playing and.
- 6:55Speaker 2: High probability.
- 6:56Speaker 3: So we'll go through to coast now Jace, Tony Street
- 6:59Speaker 3: and Sam.
- 7:02Speaker 10: Good morning coast.
- 7:03Speaker 1: Oh, good morning coast. It's Johnno beIN a meighan from
- 7:06Speaker 1: the hats. How's it going? I feel very early to
- 7:11Speaker 1: be saying Mary Christmas, So it's funny you should say that.
- 7:14Speaker 2: Jason and you you've got to. I've noticed your studio.
- 7:16Speaker 3: Which is around the corner from ours, like a grotto
- 7:19Speaker 3: of some sorts.
- 7:20Speaker 8: Just be it beautifully decorated.
- 7:22Speaker 10: I'm sure you guys have got something similar corner.
- 7:25Speaker 1: We just wanted to hold up like a detto sign
- 7:28Speaker 1: and then an arrow pointing to your studio.
- 7:29Speaker 2: Basically, that's right.
- 7:33Speaker 1: Hey, Now, I know you guys are getting into the
- 7:35Speaker 1: Christmas spirit, as are we on the hats and playing
- 7:37Speaker 1: Christmas music from time to time.
- 7:38Speaker 8: Right m h, I imagine you're Christmas is hard?
- 7:43Speaker 1: You know it must calls in here and Street.
- 7:46Speaker 2: She's a driver of our succeed. Do you do you
- 7:49Speaker 2: buy chance?
- 7:49Speaker 3: Playing Mariah Carey is all I want for Christmas.
- 7:53Speaker 10: We play a lot of Mariah and Kelly Clarkson. We
- 7:55Speaker 10: love the lady great well.
- 7:57Speaker 1: We've been playing a game where we we've trying to
- 8:00Speaker 1: how long we can avoid listening to that song. So
- 8:02Speaker 1: if you hear it on social media, go into a shop,
- 8:05Speaker 1: a gym, whatever. You're out of the game now, John's
- 8:08Speaker 1: I'm out. A lot of the listeners are out, some
- 8:10Speaker 1: are still in bit. Meghan, you are still in the game.
- 8:12Speaker 5: They're just annoyed that essentially I've won this and now
- 8:15Speaker 5: they're sabotaging me.
- 8:17Speaker 4: That is what's happening.
- 8:18Speaker 3: We're just continuing the story arc with some exciting beats
- 8:21Speaker 3: along the way.
- 8:22Speaker 2: It's right.
- 8:23Speaker 10: I'm just shocked at this began, because I thought, like
- 8:25Speaker 10: you would have been an early Christmas shopper. Surely you've
- 8:27Speaker 10: been out in the shops and heard it already.
- 8:29Speaker 5: Tones No, you know, I it was Christmas like you.
- 8:32Speaker 5: But I've managed to somehow.
- 8:39Speaker 2: Everywhere it's all over the floor.
- 8:43Speaker 4: I've avoided it somehow.
- 8:46Speaker 10: I think you should celebrate this one, because I just
- 8:48Speaker 10: don't take that jealousy from those boys.
- 8:51Speaker 2: So we wanted to do a little thing.
- 8:52Speaker 3: Now.
- 8:52Speaker 1: Now we don't know what what song on your station
- 8:55Speaker 1: is playing right now, if we get put on hold,
- 8:57Speaker 1: but we wanted to see if we could just go
- 8:58Speaker 1: to hold and if it's Mariah Carey, and then Meghan's
- 9:01Speaker 1: out of the game.
- 9:02Speaker 2: If it's not, she continues on with the game, well
- 9:05Speaker 2: I'll live to.
- 9:06Speaker 10: Be Mariah Carey or ever all the beg.
- 9:12Speaker 2: All right, can you put us on hold? All right,
- 9:15Speaker 2: there we go, Good luck, Megan.
- 9:28Speaker 10: It was the she called it.
- 9:34Speaker 1: You're a couple of minutes were literally about to play
- 9:36Speaker 1: Michael Boobley. Okay, quite Mariah though, sorry, but we are
- 9:40Speaker 1: using Christmas Megan, I don't reckon.
- 9:43Speaker 2: You've got this for another day, at least December.
- 9:46Speaker 1: The first is rolling around this weekend, So Christmas miracle
- 9:49Speaker 1: if she gets that far. Thanks so much for your
- 9:51Speaker 1: time this morning, guys.
- 9:54Speaker 7: That Jona wan Ben podcast.
- 9:56Speaker 1: Today, because of course we are learning a party trick.
- 9:58Speaker 1: We wanted to learn a party trick for the holiday season,
- 10:01Speaker 1: so we learned a trek, a card trek, a magic
- 10:04Speaker 1: trek from magician a Cosantino who's in the country right now,
- 10:07Speaker 1: and we have been trying to practice it on people
- 10:09Speaker 1: in the office and then we saw by chance, the
- 10:11Speaker 1: Prime Minister Christopher Luxon in the building.
- 10:13Speaker 2: We could see him. He was on his way upstairs
- 10:15Speaker 2: to a better radio station.
- 10:16Speaker 3: And we're like, he looks like a guy doesn't have
- 10:18Speaker 3: much on coming here coming here.
- 10:20Speaker 2: We've got a magic trick to show you.
- 10:22Speaker 1: Yeah right, but no, there's no more higher stakes than
- 10:25Speaker 1: trying to perform for the Prime minister.
- 10:26Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 10:27Speaker 3: And this guy, this guy's seems some magic. This guy
- 10:30Speaker 3: has seen Winston Peters be the Deputy Prime Minister at
- 10:32Speaker 3: the Labor Party magically disappear, then come back and be
- 10:35Speaker 3: the Deputy Prime Minister with the National Party.
- 10:38Speaker 2: That is magical.
- 10:39Speaker 1: So our trek if you don't know, it's a card
- 10:42Speaker 1: trek and evolves a sort of a knife or a
- 10:44Speaker 1: sharp instrument, choosing the choosing the card. At the end,
- 10:47Speaker 1: it's got blindfolds. I'm blindfolded. Me and you start things off.
- 10:51Speaker 4: We will take turns. Yeah.
- 10:52Speaker 3: Now, the practice rounds that we have done so far
- 10:54Speaker 3: have been wildly unsuccessful.
- 10:58Speaker 2: This is us trying out on producer Elly. Is this
- 11:02Speaker 2: your card? No, like some space? Oh hang on, this
- 11:09Speaker 2: is your card, your card. If we just keep doing this,
- 11:15Speaker 2: eventually we'll land on your card. Yeah, it's not really so,
- 11:19Speaker 2: Megan nailing her part.
- 11:21Speaker 3: Megan nating the first part where I feel like the
- 11:23Speaker 3: wheels are coming off.
- 11:25Speaker 2: It's on me.
- 11:25Speaker 1: Well, it's you and me, because there's some stuff we're
- 11:28Speaker 1: not giving away the trigger.
- 11:29Speaker 2: Is some stuff that we need to do together to
- 11:30Speaker 2: work it, to make it good.
- 11:32Speaker 1: And as we got to the end of it yesterday,
- 11:34Speaker 1: I was like, oh, dear God, I don't know where
- 11:36Speaker 1: the card is. It's one of a few, but I
- 11:39Speaker 1: don't know which.
- 11:40Speaker 2: One it is. And here's what happened in front of
- 11:42Speaker 2: the Prime minister.
- 11:44Speaker 8: Is this your card? Prime Minister?
- 11:48Speaker 11: Nood, it's not that great.
- 12:05Speaker 2: Lucky, Yeah, more days to go.
- 12:14Speaker 3: Well, you got it on the third guy, So I mean,
- 12:17Speaker 3: that's not too bad.
- 12:18Speaker 2: It's shocking, it's not good. We got one week to go.
- 12:20Speaker 1: If you want to see us or see Cosantino text
- 12:23Speaker 1: magic to four four eight seven. He's touring around the
- 12:25Speaker 1: country right now, the.
- 12:27Speaker 7: Hits that John and Ben podcast.
- 12:29Speaker 1: Now, Megan, you had a bit of an ordeal in
- 12:31Speaker 1: the car.
- 12:32Speaker 5: There's a lot of roadworks around us at the moment,
- 12:35Speaker 5: like full on.
- 12:36Speaker 4: We're getting a new bridge and everything.
- 12:37Speaker 5: So there's a stop got situation, which I'm very thankful
- 12:40Speaker 5: for years today because is there anything more terrifying anytime
- 12:45Speaker 5: when you feel something on your leg and it's like
- 12:48Speaker 5: a little and I was like, please.
- 12:50Speaker 4: Tell me that's a here, Please tell me it's just
- 12:52Speaker 4: a rogue here.
- 12:52Speaker 9: Yeah, it never is hand with me, and I'm glad
- 12:59Speaker 9: you did you. Yeah, I was gonna put.
- 13:05Speaker 5: But I was like, so I was driving at the
- 13:10Speaker 5: time and I felt the tickle tackle hands again. But
- 13:19Speaker 5: I looked down and it was a bee crawling on
- 13:21Speaker 5: my leg okay, And I was like, okay, So when
- 13:25Speaker 5: you're driving, I was like, well, I don't want to
- 13:26Speaker 5: be stung, but what am I going to do in
- 13:27Speaker 5: this moment? So I kind of like full of net reaction,
- 13:31Speaker 5: was flicking off my leg, but then it's crawling down
- 13:33Speaker 5: around my feet amongst the pedals, and so I pull
- 13:36Speaker 5: up to the stop go and I was like, thank god,
- 13:38Speaker 5: it's stopped. But then I like jumped out of the
- 13:41Speaker 5: car and I'm like the stop go person's like, are
- 13:43Speaker 5: you okay?
- 13:43Speaker 4: And I was like no, he looks at these.
- 13:47Speaker 2: I went in there my handsy bee crawling and bless.
- 13:51Speaker 5: Them though, like came around and helped me, like show
- 13:53Speaker 5: out the bee.
- 13:54Speaker 4: Yeah, help me show out.
- 13:56Speaker 5: The bee while everyone was stopped, and so we managed
- 13:59Speaker 5: to get the bee out.
- 14:00Speaker 4: But did you get stun No, No, I don't think that.
- 14:03Speaker 4: I think they were unwell the.
- 14:04Speaker 2: Bee you got to save the bees.
- 14:06Speaker 5: I got to I because I was like, I could
- 14:08Speaker 5: just stomp my foot on it, but I don't want
- 14:11Speaker 5: to do that.
- 14:11Speaker 3: Very important particular bee. Yeah, they don't go slipping bees
- 14:15Speaker 3: around there. They're the backbone of the ecosystem.
- 14:17Speaker 2: Sounds like it might have been on its way out.
- 14:19Speaker 4: Though, right, Yeah, I didn't look very happy.
- 14:22Speaker 2: To mourn too hard.
- 14:24Speaker 3: I mean, don't get me wrong, my message there's still
- 14:26Speaker 3: thousands of the mouth.
- 14:27Speaker 5: The scary thing is when you get a bee in
- 14:30Speaker 5: your car, it could fly and you're driving, because I've
- 14:35Speaker 5: had spiders crawling on my dashboard before when I'm driving
- 14:38Speaker 5: and I'm like, you still rock and see you.
- 14:40Speaker 3: It does add some jeopardy to driving, doesn't it. Panicking
- 14:43Speaker 3: and concentrating at the same time. It's a great skill set.
- 14:45Speaker 3: So have you been attacked by anything in the car?
- 14:48Speaker 5: My auntie got attacked by a seagull. So she was
- 14:50Speaker 5: eating chippies and had a window down and it saw

- 29:46Speaker 1: I wore a hiper's vest so no one was underneath
- 29:48Speaker 1: that feather. That felt like a little overkill. Yeah me,
- 29:54Speaker 1: I know, and I overthink things. Don't get out of anyone,
- 29:58Speaker 1: anyone that can jump to a conclusion of could possibly
- 30:00Speaker 1: go wrong. It's me, Okay, I could do that.
- 30:03Speaker 5: I really like it when you get on a rate
- 30:05Speaker 5: it's about the strangers.
- 30:07Speaker 4: It's just my favorite.
- 30:08Speaker 2: He's going to ditch over this feather situation.
- 30:11Speaker 1: I did, but it was unnecessary and I was happy
- 30:14Speaker 1: to PC.
- 30:16Speaker 2: Gone mad that. I've never seen that before. Phone news,
- 30:21Speaker 2: We've gone broke, guys hosking. I'd love to hear this story.
- 30:24Speaker 3: Maybe I'm distant, so this is what we want to
- 30:28Speaker 3: open up health and safety madness.
- 30:31Speaker 2: I mean it's great, don't get me wrong.
- 30:32Speaker 3: We love being healthy, but you know, sometimes, like I was,
- 30:36Speaker 3: a gentleman came over to our house a few weeks
- 30:38Speaker 3: ago and he was looking at this so funny, and.
- 30:42Speaker 2: He had a hosstil.
- 30:44Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, granted, I'm used to the everyone needs
- 30:47Speaker 3: to be highly visible.
- 30:48Speaker 2: I get it. Ironically, you're still visible without.
- 30:50Speaker 3: The vest, but yeah, I understand Uh, it's authority, it's official,
- 30:54Speaker 3: it needs to be done. He then puts a helmet
- 30:56Speaker 3: on and I'm like, what's the helmet mate, and he's
- 30:59Speaker 3: just it's traps around the lawn. He's like, I know
- 31:02Speaker 3: you've got a walnut tree there. I was like, yep,
- 31:04Speaker 3: walnut could fall on the head. We've been here for five.
- 31:13Speaker 2: At the time. Ironically, it wasn't even under the.
- 31:15Speaker 4: Tree he's preparing.
- 31:17Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean an anvil could fall on the road
- 31:20Speaker 3: a helmet.
- 31:21Speaker 7: The heads that johonaan Ben podcast.
- 31:23Speaker 1: Okay, so I had to wear a hybers vest for
- 31:26Speaker 1: catching a feather.
- 31:27Speaker 2: We're surrounded by road cones.
- 31:29Speaker 4: They didn't make you wear a hard hat tree.
- 31:31Speaker 1: Actually, next time, maybe I would have to Someone text
- 31:34Speaker 1: three right about having to wear safety and.
- 31:37Speaker 3: I said, lucky, you don't have to wear safety glasses.
- 31:39Speaker 3: I have to wear safety glasses at work all day long.
- 31:41Speaker 2: And there's only milk powder there. But potentially the milk
- 31:44Speaker 2: powder could blow and you.
- 31:47Speaker 4: Yeah, sure, does it dissolve or does.
- 31:49Speaker 2: It inside dryable?
- 31:52Speaker 7: Yes?
- 31:52Speaker 4: What's wrong with that?
- 31:53Speaker 2: Although you see those.
- 31:54Speaker 3: Things pop up on social media, don't like look at
- 31:57Speaker 3: the health and safety in Thailand and there's some legend
- 32:00Speaker 3: dangling off.
- 32:00Speaker 2: A high rise building holding onto their friend's angle. Who's
- 32:02Speaker 2: holding on?
- 32:03Speaker 8: They got a water blaster straight around and they're.
- 32:06Speaker 1: Cleaning the building like this is although although I just
- 32:09Speaker 1: cast your mine back to the weekend where the Santa
- 32:12Speaker 1: Parade after party were hosting on stage thousands of kids
- 32:14Speaker 1: in the audience. We had a high high velocity ch
- 32:18Speaker 1: T shirt T shirt cannon.
- 32:20Speaker 4: Here we go, loaded with gas.
- 32:22Speaker 1: And that everyone was quite nervous about where we need
- 32:24Speaker 1: to fire it. John I got the safety briefing, and
- 32:26Speaker 1: then he pulled some guy wearing a Grinch mask out
- 32:28Speaker 1: of the audience.
- 32:29Speaker 2: He was dressed of the Grinch.
- 32:30Speaker 4: Here he was like a part of the question performer.
- 32:33Speaker 2: Here go, mate, why don't you fire this to the audience.
- 32:35Speaker 2: As he's spinning around intoing all sorts of moves, I'm like,
- 32:38Speaker 2: this is gonna go hard. That was a moment.
- 32:40Speaker 1: I was like, we needed goggles, we needed safety things.
- 32:43Speaker 1: You're giving it to it, like who's this guy?
- 32:45Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 32:45Speaker 3: It was still anyway bit of shows, but and he
- 32:51Speaker 3: was was really waving that gun around in our faces.
- 32:53Speaker 2: And then the.
- 32:54Speaker 1: Bands I was like, I got it back off him
- 32:56Speaker 1: and then you're like, oh, crack it up, mate, this
- 32:58Speaker 1: is one more time.
- 32:59Speaker 2: I'm like, jeez, But.
- 33:01Speaker 3: Then, hey, did anyone get shot in the face with
- 33:04Speaker 3: a t shoe?
- 33:04Speaker 10: No?
- 33:04Speaker 4: But it was a real Christmas.
- 33:07Speaker 2: It was a real rest. That was a rest. That
- 33:09Speaker 2: was that occasion of my dear God. I would have
- 33:11Speaker 2: killed for safety goggles.
- 33:13Speaker 7: The hits, the John and Ben podcast.
- 33:15Speaker 2: Black Friday.
- 33:16Speaker 1: So many sales around the country, and we wanted to
- 33:19Speaker 1: know other sales.
- 33:20Speaker 2: They're too good to be true.
- 33:21Speaker 1: We've got Abby Damon from Consumer and Z's great to
- 33:25Speaker 1: have you here. How's it going, Love, We're talking Black
- 33:28Speaker 1: Friday sales. We're seeing them everywhere. When a lot of
- 33:31Speaker 1: businesses building up towards it, are they in some ways
- 33:35Speaker 1: too good to be true?
- 33:36Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 33:37Speaker 6: Sometimes when a special it looks too good to be true,
- 33:39Speaker 6: it is. And I think Black Friday is a massive
- 33:42Speaker 6: marketing opportunity for businesses. I think it'd be pretty hard
- 33:46Speaker 6: pressed to find a company that's not making the most
- 33:48Speaker 6: of them. I've even seen it, Packing says hopping on
- 33:51Speaker 6: the Black Friday, saw that Friday meet Like okay, But
- 33:57Speaker 6: you know, I think retail is a working really hard
- 34:01Speaker 6: to try and get your attention. And I think we
- 34:03Speaker 6: also know that people are making the most of Black
- 34:06Speaker 6: Friday because our willets have been so squeezed and we're
- 34:09Speaker 6: hurtling towards Christmas. But you know, we hear over and
- 34:13Speaker 6: over again that sometimes the specials we see out there
- 34:16Speaker 6: aren't actually as good as they might seem.
- 34:18Speaker 2: How does that happen?
- 34:19Speaker 6: Out of a great question, how does that happen? And
- 34:22Speaker 6: why does that happen? You know, it's not actually illegal
- 34:25Speaker 6: for traders to change the price like that. What's potentially
- 34:29Speaker 6: a breach of this their trading act is if something
- 34:31Speaker 6: says this is the absolute best price ever, but it's
- 34:34Speaker 6: actually been cheaper, then yeah, that's not on. There's lots
- 34:37Speaker 6: of sort of pressure tactics, particularly for people online. They
- 34:42Speaker 6: might look like the countdown time is, yeah, there are
- 34:48Speaker 6: ten people looking at the so and so and Auckland
- 34:51Speaker 6: is buying three of these right now. If you don't
- 34:54Speaker 6: buy it, you're going to miss out. And they're all
- 34:56Speaker 6: they're really intentionally designed to confuse you, overwhelm you, and
- 35:01Speaker 6: often those claims aren't real.
- 35:04Speaker 2: Really they've got they've got me plenty of times.
- 35:08Speaker 6: Yeah, we say, you know, you can think about timo
- 35:11Speaker 6: where there's a lot of gamification. These sorts of tactics
- 35:14Speaker 6: are really effective in getting you to part with your money.
- 35:18Speaker 6: And part of that's because they're designed with behavioral psychology
- 35:22Speaker 6: in mind. They know that they're effective, and yeah, they
- 35:25Speaker 6: do work. So we really want consumers to be on
- 35:27Speaker 6: a high alert thin this year.
- 35:29Speaker 5: So when you say, like a lot of the countdown
- 35:31Speaker 5: clocks or so many people are looking at this or
- 35:33Speaker 5: even when so sometimes the prices are lower months ahead,
- 35:39Speaker 5: and then they hike the price and then they bring
- 35:41Speaker 5: it back down a little bit.
- 35:42Speaker 4: All of those tactics are happening. Why are they not
- 35:45Speaker 4: kind of illegal, Well.
- 35:46Speaker 6: Because a business is entitled to price their products. However,
- 35:50Speaker 6: they wish the fear trading actors in place to make
- 35:53Speaker 6: it illegal for people to mislead you. So that's that's
- 35:57Speaker 6: the key point. Really, it's about not misleaing you. I
- 36:00Speaker 6: think there are some rules around, like you know, you know,
- 36:02Speaker 6: a special has to be a meaningful opportunity to save
- 36:08Speaker 6: money for a limited period of time.
- 36:10Speaker 5: It's still allowed to hike the price, you know, say
- 36:13Speaker 5: a few weeks before Black Friday, and then they can
- 36:15Speaker 5: be like, oh, fifty percent off but it's fifty percent
- 36:18Speaker 5: off the hiked price that.
- 36:20Speaker 6: It depends on what context we're seeing that it could
- 36:23Speaker 6: be misleading if they've said this is the absolute best
- 36:27Speaker 6: price you're going to get it there. It's so dizzying.
- 36:30Speaker 6: There are so many specials coming at you, left, for
- 36:33Speaker 6: and center, so many different ways of people presenting what
- 36:36Speaker 6: a discount looks like.
- 36:38Speaker 3: Are you going to get involved in Black Friday? Or
- 36:40Speaker 3: you think not for me not getting countdown clocked?
- 36:44Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't want to get countdown clock don't might
- 36:47Speaker 6: don't make me spend that.
- 36:48Speaker 1: Well, wait, so are you gonna Are you going to
- 36:56Speaker 1: get involved in Black Friday?
- 36:57Speaker 2: Or you just think it's a.
- 36:58Speaker 6: Bit of a I mean, I think I representative of
- 37:01Speaker 6: a lot of New Zealanders and that I feel when
- 37:04Speaker 6: I see all these specials, I'm really tempted. But I
- 37:06Speaker 6: also know I can't trust myself. So I'm actually spending
- 37:10Speaker 6: less time on social media at the moment because those
- 37:12Speaker 6: those ads are targeted at me. Say, know, not exactly
- 37:15Speaker 6: what I want, but it's not what I need. I
- 37:18Speaker 6: just don't have that money, And I think, yeah, it
- 37:21Speaker 6: just looks it's so tempting.
- 37:22Speaker 1: Let's ay someone does want to do it. Okay, someone
- 37:25Speaker 1: wants to get the Christmas shopping. What are the things
- 37:27Speaker 1: you need to watch out for? What do you recommend?
- 37:29Speaker 6: Yeah, so beware of the pressure technic set we've talked about.
- 37:33Speaker 6: Don't rely on the sales sign do your research and
- 37:35Speaker 6: you can use those free price comparison tools like price
- 37:39Speaker 6: spy or price me, which will let you look at
- 37:41Speaker 6: the historical price over time of a product.
- 37:44Speaker 2: I don't have all that time. There's a countdown clock.
- 37:46Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got sixty seconds to buy twenty mattresses I
- 37:49Speaker 3: don't need right now.
- 37:50Speaker 8: Oh no, Well, thank you so much for your time,
- 37:52Speaker 8: and I'd appreciate it.
- 37:52Speaker 3: And it's just so, it's just a double pump on
- 37:55Speaker 3: the side of the phone.
- 37:56Speaker 4: You don't even think of.
- 37:57Speaker 2: It as an it's society we're living in.
