Jono, Ben & Megan - The Podcast - April 15 - Ben's Stitch Up On Jono In Christchurch Backfired!

Episode Date: April 14, 2021

Hello! Today we were broadcasting from Lincoln in Canterbury from an Orange Homes show home, a beautiful new build! Jono decided to give away some new appliances from the show home, not sure if he was allowed to, but he did anyway! We also discussed the most bizarre places you've slept or fallen asleep; one caller fell asleep while getting a rib tattoo... Last night we also stitched up Jono in Christchurch when he landed, but it backfired. Finally, we caught up with the world record holder of the most seats sat in 48 hours, ahead of our biiiig task to sit in every seat at Eden Park to "unlock" 50 tickets to Six60's concert. Enjoy the show!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jono and Ben, new to your mornings, friends of Skinny, New Zealand's most recommended telco. Happy, happy, happy, oh, oh. Just when you thought you couldn't get enough of Jono and Ben, you can have them anywhere, anytime. Welcome to the Jono and Ben podcast. Kia ora, good morning, or good afternoon, or good evening, wherever in the world you are listening to this podcast. It's wonderful to have you here.

This is April the 15th, 2021. We've timestamped that. And Jono and Ben, coming at you from a show home in Christchurch, New Zealand. Yeah, we stayed the night in a show home, a home that's set up to a display house. Did you realise that the show home

that we're in right now has been sold to someone, but the person, the homeowner, then rents it back to the Orange Homes builder who then use it as a show home. So then Orange Homes are paying a lease to the new homeowner and once it's finished being a show home, they'll move in. Oh, really? I didn't know that. That's a smart, good, easy tenant.

Amazing tenant. So thank you for Orange Homes. It's been awesome, Matt. We probably broke this house in. We're probably the first people to sleep in. We're the first people to sleep in this house, Jenny. Yep, first people, maybe the last, we'll see. We made our beds, or some of us did. We'll hear more about that on the podcast later.

Oh, God. Producer Juliet not making a bed to standard of the Orange Homes standard, but anyway. It's a five-star bed-making stand in here. Anyway, it's been a wonderful morning. We've really enjoyed it. But Ginny, actually, while you're here, Ginny from Orange Homes, I've had about four coffees this morning. Because there's a coffee cart outside, which would be amazing.

It's one of them. You even thanked someone for making you a coffee before, and there was no one there. Yeah, it was an imaginary coffee person. Coffee's starting to have an effect. But because it's a show home, there's no glasses, so I had to have a drink of water out of a shot glass. There were glasses.

John O brought his own shot glass from home just for the occasion. I filled this up 23 times and felt kind of satisfied. I mean, you're saying you drank water out of it, so. There we go. That's what you do. You have to drink water out of a shot glass. It's been a really fun show. You can catch all the excitement on the podcast this morning,

including a wee surprise I had for Jono and Christchurch when he arrived. And we spoke to a world record holder because we're trying to sit on 50,000 seats at Eden Park next week, the biggest game of musical chairs. A guy who's on a hundred thousand seats from america at a stadium and he spent four days doing it and and not not that's not all he does too he's done other guinness world records where he's just he can dislocate his jaw and stick anything in his mouth like he's

got a record for sticking like 150 cigarettes in his mouth, straws, hot dogs, toothpicks, you name it. See that chair you're sitting on? He could put that in his mouth. This table, this dining room table, he could fit the whole thing in his mouth. It's incredible. 87 of those shot glasses he probably could put in his mouth. He did golf balls.

He did four or five golf balls. He's crazy. He's crazy, man. He's crazy. He's crazy, man. He's crazy. He's crazy. He joins us on the podcast today. Have a great day. Jono and Ben, or as they're known in the office, those two.

Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast on the hits. Broadcasting this morning from the show home, the Orange Homes show home in Lincoln and Christchurch, or in Canterbury, sorry. And if you want to come on down, we've got free coffee and bacon buddies. Oh, so you're just out there mixing and mingling with the people? Oh, family friend, Charlotte, yeah. Charlotte, your family friend?

Yeah. Oh, there we go. She used to live at a school as well, her family. We used to go stay with their family at the school. We'd put on wonderful productions to our parents. Who, you and Charlotte were? Yeah, Charlotte and her sister and my sister. We'd put on their, and They would go on For a long time

Our productions Oh I hate And the parents Would talk too much So we'd sort of like Social distance them Throughout the Because there was

A big stage area A big hall That we'd perform to And I was looking back I was like I could see why the parents Didn't want to watch You're like shush

The show's still got Another hour and a half to go You're like oh okay This is dragging What was your Were they original pieces I think all sorts, all sorts, depending on what costumes and stuff we could find

in the school drama department. So there you go. Well, I'm glad to see Charlotte's grown up, but you still dress in costumes. You still dress quite regularly. He's actually got a garage load of costumes. This radio show is basically like my performance I do each day that goes on way too long,

and I try and make people sit through. And your dad has to listen to it as well. Anyway, we're out staying in the show home overnight. is basically like my performance I do each day that goes on way too long and I try and make people sit through. And your dad has to listen to it as well. Anyway, we're out staying in the show home overnight and it was, hey, I'm going to say it's a first. Take that off the bucket list. Living in a show home, it was eerily perfect. Everything in here is... Oh, it's beautiful.

Yeah, we said before we had a bed-making competition and we got judged on our bed-making by Jenny from Orange Homes and unfortunately, Juliette, you weren't aware that there was going to be a bed making competition.

A bit sloppy on the old tucking and folding there, mate. Yeah, I'm not very good early in the morning. If I'd known, I mean, now that you say it. Let's show home, mate.

Lift your game. We're in a show home. We've got a standard here at Orange Homes and we expect you to deliver. Now that you say that, I'm like, that's very true. And we had a security guard

over here overnight, Jamie. Wonderful Jamie. He came in a suit. A very professional security guard and I can't help but feel it was a disgusting waste of Jamie's time. He didn't need to be here.

The poor guy was awake all night. All night. Just sitting here. The poor fella. He didn't need to be here. I have a defence mechanism. If someone comes in, I get into the fetal position and start

crying and they walk away because it's too weird. We'll leave him alone. So we were going to be fine anyway but it was lovely to see Jamie. But we, you know, because it's a very unusual place to sleep in a show home. I mean it's beautiful but it's quite random that I don't think anyone ever gets to sleep

in an actual show home when it's a show home. Yeah, so that's why we want to open up on 0800-THE-HITS-4487. You can get in touch with New Zealand's Breakfast. In the most bizarre sleeping locations, where have you fallen asleep? I was getting a root canal. I said that the other week. I can't believe this. I fell asleep as the dentist was assaulting my mouth.

I just fell asleep. It was the sun streaming in through the window. It might have been the high intensity painkillers she put me on. And I was in a happy place and just dozed off. It was a deep root canal. Wow, it went real deep.

You went to sleep during that? Yeah, I thought she was mining for gold or something in there. I remember falling asleep at an outdoor movie one night and there was one of those ones with beanbags and blankets and it's just like, oh, the setting's too perfect, you know, when you're quite relaxed. But I remember my wife like elbowing me going, you were snoring quite loudly and everyone

around for the three rows around me were looking, you know. No one can hear Madagascar. You're like, oh God, I'm snoring out loud. So 800 of the hits, that's the number. Get in touch with us. Most Bizarre Sleeping Locations, where have you nodded off? 4487 on the text. Get in touch with us, Aotearoa. We've got some prizes to give away that Jono's got from the show home as well.

Let's go to the phones right now. 800 of the hits. Shelly, you're on. Morena. Morning. Good to have you on. Shell, where's the strangest place you've nodded off? I was getting a rib tattoo done in Ireland

and I fell asleep on the table because I was there for about three hours. A rib tattoo? Apparently that is the most painful place to get a tattoo, too, on your ribs. Yeah, well, you couldn't look at your phone because you get dizzy from lying on your side. So I just closed my eyes.

The tattoo attempt to wake me up. I went to sleep. Maybe you were dead. Maybe you were dead from the pain that your body just shut down. A tattoo. I wouldn't have thought anyone would have fallen asleep during a tattoo.

That's amazing. And did you wake up and he's like, ta-da! You're like, that's not what I wanted. You're asleep. I just had to make it up. You're going to win your shell. You're going to have a wonderful Thursday.

Thank you for listening. Thank you. Joe's on. You fell asleep during you, Shelly. You're going to have a wonderful Thursday. Thank you for listening. Thank you. Bye, hurry up. Joe's on. You fell asleep during what, Joe? Hey, how's it going? So I fell asleep when I was getting an MRI. Oh, jeez. Yeah.

That's when they lie you down. Sorry, I'm talking over you. That's when they lie down on your bed and you go into the machine. Yeah. Yeah, I'm claustrophobic, so I just kind of close my eyes and pretended I wasn't there and the next thing I know I fell asleep.

So what does it look like being in... Sorry? Sorry, I'm having a shocker. I'm talking... Would you let Joe talk, Joe? Sorry, Joe. Oh, shut up shocker. I'm talking. Would you let Joe talk, Joe? Sorry, Joe. Oh, shut up, Joe. You finish what you say.

Unfortunately, I twitched when I was asleep and they had to do the MRI all over again. Oh. Is it a painful experience, an MRI? No, it's just, if you don't like high spaces, it's not great because you're pretty much, the machine's very small and I'm very big.

It's like being in a little sort of cocoon sort of area they sort of put you in, a little circular sort of thing, like they're putting you into a big one of those pizza ovens. Not that it's a pizza oven, but if you can imagine, yeah. Yeah, you came out like a margarita. Well, I hope whatever you were getting scanned for is okay health-wise now, Joe. It is, yeah. Oh, good to hear, mate. You keep safe.

Have a great day. Let's get Shane on the phone. Welcome, Shane. Where'd you fall asleep, Shane-o? Morning. Now, where did you nod off? Over in Australia when I was living over there and went to a Star Wars movie and decided to fall asleep probably about 10 minutes into it.

Woke up about half an hour after the movie had finished with the movie cinema empty and decided to try and find my own way out and the staff just stood there and laughed at me. Did you just go by yourself or the person you went with was like, well, he's gone. Leave him there. I went by myself. Oh, right. I was going to say, your friends are like... Shocking friends.

That's what I always find about those midnight... Let's debut the movie at midnight. Shocking time to go to the movies at midnight. Sit down in a nice comfy seat for two hours at midnight. You're right. Those Star Wars movies go forever, don't they? They do. They do.

Hey, thank you very much. So many great texts on this as well. I fell asleep in a furniture store. I was testing a bed. And then in five minutes I was asleep and lay there for about an hour and a half. Apparently. You've got to buy the bed in that situation afterwards, surely.

Yeah, that is very good. Thank you very much for your calls and texts. Do appreciate it. Morning. This show contains traces of Jono and Ben. The Hits with Jono and Ben for breakfast. Broadcast this morning from Orange Homes in Lincoln, the show home, the show from a show home.

I love saying that. 156 Southfield Drive. Come down and see us after 7 o'clock this morning. Free coffee, bacon buddies as well. Now, Guy Williams, dear friend of ours, colleague, we used to work with Guy Williams on the John O'Byrne TV show. I brought him in from a previous show. He was like a big, goofy, loud child that I brought in to our marriage.

Yeah, and he never accepted me as his real father. No. And you guys had a little bit of conflict. You couldn't tell him what to do, and he would never listen to you, so I'd have to pull him aside. Yeah. It was an odd relationship,

and my only concern is putting Guy on at this time of the morning as he's quite loud and shouty, so I don't know if it's going to be too much for people this morning, but Guy Williams is in our Auckland studio. Depending on people's opinion, I was either the worst part of the show

or the best part of the show. You are. So I don't know if you were happy to hear me or I was a very divisive character on the Jono and Ben show wasn't I we were also divisive characters

on the Jono and Ben show and we were Jono and Ben yeah true it's nice to see ya it's great to be back guys it's a privilege and honour to get the old band

back together we just need Laura and Rose back and we'd have the dream team ready to go how you been man you been well been bad man things are dark well? Been bad, man.

Things are dark. Now that I'm doing my own show, it's hard. You guys made it look easy. And you guys' show was bigger than mine. It was like 30 times a week and it was an hour long.

Making half an hour for 10 weeks is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. I'm sounding like the worst person in the world complaining about this now. You're coming to talk

about your show, New Zealand Today, episode two on tonight, TV3. Yeah, sorry. I'll switch it on. You're coming to talk about your show, New Zealand Today, episode two on tonight, TV3. Yeah, sorry, I'll switch it on. I've got to be excited. It's a good show and everyone should watch it. It's mildly competent.

Yeah, it's the same as what I did in previous seasons, what I did on the Jon and Ben show, just telling weird stories from around New Zealand because there's a lot out there. So the highlights of this season of New Zealand Today, I know Karen was a big fixture in the last season. Oh, $20 Karen? Is she back this year? Yeah, Karen's a legend. I know Karen was a big fixture in the last season. Oh, $20 Karen? Is she back this year? Yeah, Karen's a legend.

I love Karen. And whenever there's a story that's not going well and I'm in Christchurch, I'm like, I'll give Karen a call and she'll turn it around. She brings the heat. She's so funny, but she's also so warm. Honestly, we're feeling bad after a bad day of shooting. And as soon as I went to speak to Karen,

I just felt good again, eh? Because she's just like such a great spirit. And people give her a hard time because she swears and some people's mums don't like her, but I just think Karen is like an ultimate Kiwi legend. You'll know Karen from going viral after leaving this message on someone's phone. Hello, this is Karen.

Rachel thinks she can ignore me and hide from me for her $20. She's a comedy legend too. Yeah, she's very funny. Naturally very funny. Well, $20, Karen, obviously you've formed a wonderful relationship. Didn't you go on a live tour with her? Well, I'm launching the live tour.

Thanks for announcing it. It's coming soon. New Zealand Today Live, Guy and Karen on the road. You're right. So you're going to be travelling around the country with Karen. Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, yeah. We're going to get to know each other very well. Well, yeah, we want to do a little test. Obviously, Karen, very famous for the call, the $20 Karen. Auckland, Wellington and Crush. Yeah, we're going to get to know each other very well. Oh, well, yeah, we want to do a little test.

Obviously, Karen, very famous for the call, the $20 Karen call. Yeah. And so we've got two callers on the line right now. We do, yeah. We've got two Karens on the phone. What? One of them is the real Karen,

and you need to figure out which one is. And we'll start right now. If I get this wrong, Karen's going to give me 20 whacks? That's right. That's the consequence of getting this wrong. Let's start with Karen, number one. Take it away. Hello, this is Karen.

Rachel thinks she can ignore me and hide from me. I owe her a lousy $20 that she owes me from, like, well over three months ago. She won $600 at the Pokies at the Stokes Valley Bar and she said to Jaden, go tell. Hey, go tell Karen you've seen me.

I owe her 20 bucks. Well, I tell you what, I'll get my 20 bucks or she's going to get 20. We're shouting. Karen, number one. Let's get going, too.

That was amazing. It's time to stop a Karen. All right, let's go to Karen, number two, right now. Take it away, Karen, number two. Hello. Take it away, Karen. Yeah, hello. What do you mean, take it away?

I think I found the real Karen. I think I found her. I thought you were going to launch into your speech. Hey, Karen, how are you, mate? I'm good. And yourself? We're doing well. Now, Karen, we've got Sonny, who was Karen number one, who does a wonderful impersonation of you.

Have you heard him before? No, I haven't. Hello, Karen. Not bad. Did you get your $20? Because I'm still missing mine. Oh, my God, he does sound like me. Can I say, I instantly knew that wasn't the real Karen,

but that is a very good impersonation, bro. That is hilarious. Great job, because that's top shelf. Oh, my God. How long did it take him? He's learnt your whole speech from the $20 Karen call. Karen, you haven't learnt your speech, mate. Took me over 60 years to perfect my voice.

How long did it take him? It's not my fault she's meant a crazy lady that went off with a lesbian and is now with a man. Can he do that? It's not my fault your daughter's a mental crazy lady that went off with a lesbian and is now with a man. Can he do that? Not my fault your daughter's a mental crazy lady that went off with a lesbian and is now with a man. Oh, well done.

High praise from the original Karen herself. High praise. Good on you, Sonny. Thank you. Karen's got one passion and she hates the Australian cricket team because they're a bunch of cheats, aren't they, Karen?

They f***ing are indeed, underarm dirty bowlers. And then they rub on the f***ing sandpaper. Yeah, that's right, they cheated again, didn't they? And then he's allowed to go and play for the f***ing World Cup. And then the f***ing Poms cheated us in the f***ing one day. They made up a f***ing new rule because that's not on Yeah, jeez, you've come to life now, haven't you? I have opened a can of worms

The best part is the world test cricket is between New Zealand and India played in England. Ha ha ha I didn't know you were a cricket fan Karen is the biggest cricket fan and I do know who's not a fan of Karen though the person who has to beep out all those swears Thank goodness this is a delayed show. Karen, you're cricket fan, and I do know who's not a fan of Karen, though. The person who has to beep out all those swears.

Thank goodness this is a delayed show. Karen, you're a legend, mate. This is a... Well, they shouldn't have shut down Radio Sport. Be like Karen. Karen, good catching up with you. Can't wait to see you on New Zealand Today tonight. Yeah.

Good on you, Karen. You keep safe. I will, and you enjoy the show on stage. We can't wait for it. It's on tonight, New Zealand Today, 9 o'clock on 3. We apologise in advance. Sorry about that. Sorry about that.

I'm sorry to rope you into this. Sorry you've been dragged into this. Jono and Ben, breakfast on the heads. The heads. We are broadcasting from Orange Home Show, home in Lincoln in Canterbury, 156 Southfield Drive. If you want to pop down, we're here till 9. It's a free coffee and Bacon Buddies.

It'll be very popular this morning as people walking past. And a lot of high-vis out there, isn't there? Yeah. And an abundance of builders and tradies turning up as well. So if you want to know where we are, it's very highly visible. It is very. You'll be able to see. Something that was highly visible was a little surprise I had for you.

Now, you are a little bit later coming down to Christchurch than producer Juliet and myself so we picked you up from the airport. Thank you for that. And we arranged a little bit of a surprise for you and we took you there.

We drove the car there. We parked up and I was like... You said, where are we going? It was a dodgy, dark, dark alleyway, wasn't it, Juliet?

And you guys, I was like, are you going to mug me or are you going to... We'll see what's going on here. We took you up and I said, look up there, Jono. There's a wee surprise for you. And I guys, I was like, are you going to mug me? We'll see what's going on here. He took you up and I said, look up there, Jono. There's a wee surprise for you. And I said, oh, on the billboard it said the Waiheke Wine and Food Festival.

And you're like, not that way. But that is a lovely surprise that is coming up later in the year. And then I said, oh, the Canterbury Netball Team are playing. The Tactics are playing. And you're like, not that billboard. I was like, the next one. And as it rotated through on the electronic billboard, it came up with a message up on that billboard.

It said, Christchurch, please give Johnno a big welcome to Christchurch. Picture of you and your phone number up there. Up there for all to see on the billboard. Ruthlessly hung out to dry. Now, I thought we had an arrangement when it came to this sort of content. Only during work hours. Wait, this is fun. We're on a work trip. You've caught me off guard. I was weak. I thought we had an arrangement when it came to this sort of content only during work hours You've caught me off guard I was weak I was vulnerable it was after 8 o'clock at night being you know Our pranking arrows are between 9 and 5

Yes, you put my picture up there Number up there for for all the people of Christ you to give you a call on the board now I didn't realize that was on a rotating billboard. I didn't realise that that was happening. But I was still, nonetheless, I was like, Jono, check your phone. How many messages have you got? And I was like, well, suck it in

because I've been bombarded with job requests like, Jono, come and kiss my ass. That's a great job. Jono, your hair looks like a light bulb. Do you think you can screw it into my ceiling? Stuff like that. No, I got nothing, which is even more disappointing. So you put my number up all over Christchurch on billboards

and no one has called or texted. Well, you sure? You sure? Oh, come on. It must be like hundreds. I checked the voicemail just five minutes ago. Oh, really? Because I checked the voicemail and there was messages.

Okay. Oh, well, I haven't heard that. Oh, yeah, because it definitely didn't backfire, this i mean there were hundreds of people left i mean there were so many messages on there i don't know what phone you were checking them on and here was some of the messages that you didn't hear here was the first one hi you have three new messages first new message cut it you dick oh you suck oh I love Ben more. Okay. That was a good one.

That was Dibbity Not Me putting on a voice there. Yeah, so that was the first message that I cleared. There were hundreds of them. I thought here was another one of my favourites. New message. Hello, Joe. It's your mother here, Annie Pryor. I let you use my phone game when talking to you on the phone.

I just want to say I saw the report and you're a massive disappointment to the family and the extended family. That's all. Champagne mum? Sounds like the Queen. Sounds like someone doing a bad impersonation of the Queen. And the final message, which is something I thought I did need to pass on to you because this is an actual important message.

Third new message Oh hello Jono, it's Dr Hatch calling from the wig clinic We make wigs to insert on people's, over people's bald heads I'm sure you know what we do, I mean you came in and saw us last week Anyway I regret to inform you Jono that unfortunately the wig that we made for you won't be able to work. So can we suggest maybe like a hat, a cap or a paper bag? All the best and thanks very much. There we go.

It's me from the wig clinic. We make wigs for people's heads. Just he likes to clarify what they do. Well, gee, I tell you what, those were a range of great messages. How much of the budget did you waste on this base-level content, honey? Please, let's not talk about that. Did you pay for this billboard? For Boss Todd of his listing right now, it was a roaring success.

John O's phone inundated with legitimate messages from the people of Canterbury who saw that billboard and... Did you pay for the billboard? Yes, you paid for the billboard. You did? We paid for the billboard. It was a shocking investment. It was shocking.

Anyway. To everyone pulling a sickie today, you're not fooling anyone. Jono and Ben, breakfast on the hits. On Tuesday, we're going to be doing this. Jono and Ben's 50,000 seat musical chairs. The only thing that stands between them and 50 free 660 tickets are 50,000 seats at Eden Park. So 660 are playing a first, a historic first concert

at Eden Park, April 24. And we asked them for 50 tickets to give away. They've set us a challenge. It's basically like the biggest game of musical chairs. We're going to go to Eden Park, just John and myself, and when we sit on the one lucky seat, we unlock these 50 tickets. We don't know which seat it is. So there's 50,000 seats at Eden Park.

There's so many seats. Well, we're going to eventually get them because, you know, if we didn't win them now, it would be a huge letdown, wouldn't it, this whole campaign? Well, yeah. Eventually we're going to win them, but it's just going to be how long it's going to take for us to win them, five it would be a huge letdown, wouldn't it, this whole campaign? Well, yeah. Eventually we're going to win them, but it's just going to be how long it's going to take for us to win them, five minutes or

five days. So, we looked online yesterday, and it turns out that there is a record holder for stadium seat sitting. So, yeah, someone's done this. A few people over the world have done this and tried to see how many seats they could sit on in like

48 hours on these massive, massive stadiums overseas, even bigger than Eden Park. Now, this guy's name is Jim Mouth. He's got over 30 Guinness World Records. This amongst many, a lot of Mouth-related records. Yeah. And Jim joins us now via Zoom. Welcome.

Welcome. Thank you. Lovely to see you. Now, whereabouts are you? You've got an interesting room of wigs Welcome. Thank you. Lovely to see you. Now, whereabouts are you? You've got an interesting room of wigs and hats behind you. Yeah, I'm in a loft. I just moved out of Southern California after 35 years. I did very

well there. 20 records out there. Wow, because that's the thing. How many world records have you broken over the years? I started in 1976. I wanted to break the world record for smoking cigarettes. Right. It was good.

Back in the day, it was quite healthy for you, wasn't it, smoking? Well, they didn't know about the side effects. How many cigarettes have you got in your mouth there, Jim? I went from one. I can dislocate my jaw if I figured it out. So that's 156 right there. Wow. Do you light them all up and suck those gaspers back, mate? Yeah.

See all the smoke? I light them up. Oh, jeez. That can't be good for you. That must be a horrible feeling. Well, I'm a non-smoker. I smoke once a year on the Great American Smokehouse. Jim, we love all your mouth content.

That's wonderful. It's amazing. Incredible. Great career. Jim, we love all your mouth content. That's wonderful. It's amazing, incredible. Great career. But also, you have the record for sitting in the most amount of stadium seats, the Guinness World Record. Actually, I sat in two of the biggest stadiums in the United States. The University of Michigan football stadium is 101,701.

They just added 6,000 new seats. I'm going to go back there next year and sit in the extra 6,701. They just added 6,000 new seats. I'm going to go back there next year and sit in the extra 6,000 seats. So how long did it take you to sit in 100,000 seats? That was 96 hours and 15 minutes. So you're just squatting, basically.

You don't skid because I went through four pairs of Levi's. Skid you? So I sat 36 miles. I went through four pairs of Levi's. Skid you. So I sat 36 miles. I went through four pairs of pants, slept 18 hours. No, I slept eight hours on that one. Eight hours. Eight hours sleep.

Whenever you do a marathon for Guinness, if it's a marathon like days, like I played the drums for two weeks for every 24 hours you get a two hour break five minutes an hour so i can go two hours and take a 10 minute break gotcha or you can accumulate two day 48 hours sleep two save two 48 sleep two save two 48 sleep two save two why why do you do this jim i i've i've always the Guinness book has always fascinated me and I challenge myself. I just stay in shape for an old guy and I just stay in shape and I challenge myself. The whole thing is, you do it for,

I do them all for charities. All the marathons are done for charities. As far as stuffing in cigarettes, you can't do a, raise money that way. I have to. For the Lung Cancer Foundation. I did the Cigar World record and American Lung Association said, yeah,

we'll go for it. And I raised about $8,000, $10,000. And then they said, well, that's hypocritical because you're smoking. Well, I show the light side. I'm a cigar-holic.

I don't smoke one after the other like a lot of people. I smoke all at once. Get your years where the smoking doesn't want to hurt. I smoke all at once. Get your years worth of smoking done in one hit. That's great. So it's more about the personal challenge for you,

driving yourself, seeing how far you can push yourself. Yeah, exactly. And I've done this. I try and do a world record every year. So, Jim Mouth, what advice would you have for us? Because we're about to do a smaller version of what you've done. We're potentially going to sit in 50,000 seats. You guys, you've got a big concert going on.

And there's 50,000 seats that we could be sitting in. Have you got any advice? Well, how many guys are going to be doing it? Two of us. All the staff? Two of us. Two of us trying to sit in as many seats as we can. And then there's supposed to be tickets underneath.

How many seats you're sitting in? You get tickets? So if we get to the lucky seat at any stage, we stop. So we could sit in five seats, we could sit in 50,000 seats, depending on where the lucky seat is. So it's like musical tunes. Ah! Yeah. So you guys

got, can you go for like a day or two? Potentially. Because I sat, see, the world record for stadium sitting is the most seats sat in in 48 hours. Ah, and what's that? I sat in 39,250 in two days. And those were the...

Non-stop. I went non-stop. What physical stuff did you go through? Just, they drove me home and then I got videotape of my ankles and my feet just swelling. I didn't walk for four days. Really? Oh, they just blew up. I went, oh, I said, oh,

dear Jesus, help me out here. Dear Jesus, we'll be praying to Jesus. That was a tough one, but you've led an amazing life. Thank you for your advice. Be back, guys. Thank you, guys. See you, mate. Love your work. Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime. Just search

Jono and Ben on Facebook. Five words for 5k on the hit. You're only five words away from a massive payday. It is our game of word association. We play it every day at 7.45 on the hits. We tell you five words. You tell us the first things that pop into your head. If they match up with ours,

you win five grand. And tonight we are in Christchurch. The five words world tour. It's taking the world by storm. I've just got off the phone to Oprah Winfrey, who is requesting a tell-all interview about the tour. I just needed to talk to you and negotiate with you. I'm not keen, not keen.

You're not keen? No, not keen. Oh, okay. Well, I'll sign up. I'll do the World Tour tell-all. And that's happening tonight. And you can tell it is fever pitch here in Christchurch. It is absolute fever pitch,

or it may be an actual fever that Ben brought down from Auckland thanks to COVID. We're just still waiting on the test results for that one. But yes, the Five Words live tour tonight in Christchurch, the good home. Fairy Mead, come on down. We've got free food. You're going to have a couple of, can you say that now?

I don't know. We can say a couple of, but you didn't say the rest of it. I don't know what legally you're allowed to say. You know what you have a couple of. But I'm not going to say it. It's on the dance floor, that's it. I'm not going to say it. As well as $500 up for grabs tonight. That's at the Good Home and Ferry Meet after work

this evening. But right now we have $5,000 on the line. Who's on the phone there? Is it Claire? Yep, it's Claire. Claire from New Plymouth. How's Taranaki this morning, Claire? Yeah, it's quite beautiful, actually. Oh, yeah, I bet it's not as beautiful as Lincoln and Christchurch.

I'm looking at a wonderful sunrise. What are you looking at, Claire? Beautiful white clouds and blue sky. No, I bet they're not as nice as this guy's I'm looking at. Anyway, we don't want to get into that argument. Claire, this is five words for $5,000. You need to send Ben or myself into the soundproof booth. We don't have one at the Orange Home this morning,

but we do have a noise-cancelling cupboard that one of us will go into. Yeah, one of us can go out of the cupboard. Who would you like to send away? I think Jono. Oh, Jono, yeah, I'd love to send him away too, that's for sure. Oh, well, Jono, you get out of here. Producer Juliette, just make sure he's out of... There's no radio playing over there.

I'm going to go. Well, good. I hope so. I don't trust you. We're shutting the door right now, so Jono can't hear. All right, Claire, I have got the words that have been sent through to me. Here we go. The first word this morning, Claire, for five words for five grand is ham.

Ham. Ham? Yeah, ham. H-A-M. Meat. Ham, meat. Nice. All right, the second word this morning, oh, it's a bit of a local one for where we are.

Canterbury. Canterbury. I know when you get put on the spot like this, it's tough, isn't it? Canterbury. Weird word. Christchurch. Christchurch. Nicely done. Your third word this morning. five words, $5,000, is shopping. Shopping. Trolley. Trolley. Nice work.

British Juliet, so far, how are you going along, playing along in your head? We've matched a few, a couple so far, so I think you're on the right track. Claire from New Plymouth is with us right now. Her fourth word, sorry, is train. Train. Station. Nice work on that one. And final word this morning is stationary.

Stationary with an E or an A. With an A. Stationary. So is that the office supplies one? Something still, no. Oh, is it still? I never knew that one. I should have paid more attention in school.

Oh, you're right. You're right. You're right. So stationary still, yeah. Still. All right. Now, are you happy with your words, Claire? Yeah.

Okay. Well, let's see. Let's bring Jono back from the soundproof cupboard here at the Orange Homes this morning, and we'll find out if those five words match up with yours. He's coming back in. You look very confused. Like, you're walking back in.

Like that walk you have after the movies in the day when you're out in the sun. You're like, what's up? Oh, what's happened here? Well, I was in that cupboard for quite a while, and I didn't think anyone was going to come and let me out of that noise-cancelling cupboard. We thought about leaving you in there.

All right, so we said five words to Claire this morning. If these words match up, she's 5K richer. How do you think you went, Claire? I don't know, maybe three. That's the confidence I love. All right, let's get into it. I'll try and match five with you. Okay, the first word we said this morning to Claire for 5 Words 5K was ham. Ham.

H-A-M. Sandwich. Ha ha! Oh. Now, have we changed the format and that buzzer now means I'm correct? No. And you're groaning and leaning back. Oh, sorry, sorry, Claire. What did you say, Claire? Meat. Meat. Well, I said

sandwich. Why didn't you say sandwich, Claire? Well, why didn't you say, Claire? Meat. Meat. Well, I said sandwich. Why didn't you say sandwich, Claire? Well, why didn't you say meat? Okay, well, we're going to do the starts. We're going to do the rest of them now. Not that it matters. Next word was Canterbury. Crusaders.

Claire, I couldn't be more out of sync with you if I tried. What did you say? Lucy said Christchurch. Okay, next one. Shopping. Bag. Trolley was what Claire said. The obvious one.

The next word that we said to Claire was train. Ride. Station. Are you trying to test these now? No. And finally, it was stationary. Not the ones that... Standing. It was still.

Oh, Claire. None from five. I'm so sorry, Claire. That's okay. Oh, you can hear her disappointment. I can hear it all the way here in Christchurch from New Plymouth. I tell you what, Claire, you know what I'm going to do? I've robbed the show home we're living in at the moment.

I'm going to give you a bloody, what am I going to give you? I'll give you a soda stream. You want a soda stream? That would be awesome. Thanks very much. Yeah, you got a soda stream. That's quite expensive. Yeah, now this is, oh, got a SodaStream, John O's got. That's quite expensive. Oh, gee, this is $170

for the SodaStream, Claire. Almost better than $5,000 for SodaStream. Well, congratulations. You'll be having bubbly water and reflecting back on. Every time you bubble that water, you think of me, Claire. And how we let you down.

Love your work. Thanks so much for listening to the program. Thanks. Yeah, yeah, nah. Yeah, nah. Yeah, nah. The home of yeah, nah. She'll be right, and at the end of the day. Jono and Ben, breakfast on the hits.

This morning we're broadcasting from a show home. It's the show from a show home. Orange Homes have kindly put us up last night in a show home. It was quite a surreal but wonderful experience. And fever pitch down here. If you want to come on down, bring the whole family, the kids, the dog, wake Grandma up, put a blanket around her, jack her up with some coffee, come down for a bacon buddy to 156 Southfield Drive in Lincoln.

But we're joined by Jenny from Orange Homes. Now, Jenny, thank you so much for having us in your wonderful show home. You're welcome. You're welcome. I hope you had a good sleep. I did, actually. It was wonderful. I would like you to judge the bed making

from all three of us, Juliette, Ben and myself. Juliette's looking at us like, what? Yeah. It's a bed making competition. It's a show home, Juliette. Because we're staying in a show home, so I felt pressure this morning when I got up. I was like, I'm going to need to make the bed.

Yeah. It needs to look like a show home. Is yours of show home quality? I don't know if it is. Well, I feel like on the top it might be, but as soon as you peel back the layers, it's maybe not. Now, Ginny, if you don't mind going through to all three rooms. Juliet slept in the middle.

Ben was at the far end and I was at the closest. And just have a look at the beds and then come back and give us a ranking all out of 10. Okay, shall we do that now? Okay. Thank you very much, Ginny. Ginny's going to go off and then she'll come back and join us in just a second. And while Ginny does the bed judging, I do pride myself on a bed making. The problem was

you had about 39 pillows on there that I took. A lot of display pillows, because I guess it's a show home, everything's on display. Yeah, Juliet, I'm gathering you just pulled the duvet up. This is a stitch-up. Oh, really? I thought out of anyone, you would nail it. But your eyes are like, oh, why would you do this

to me? No. When I wake up at four in the morning, there is no way in heck I am making my bed. But I did do a bit of a pull-up of the covers. My room is a bit of a mess. She pulled up the duvet like my children do. And we'll come back with, Jenny will come back with the official scoring. But while we're here, I wanted to give away the house,

but apparently that would sink budgets all over town if I just gave away a house this morning. Well, baby steps, maybe one day we can give away an orange home. So right now it's lovely to stay in the show home here in Lincoln, give away some free coffee, some bacon buddies, and you've found something else you can give away. Here comes Ginny. Before we get to the giveaways, Ginny's

come back with a smile on her dial. The bed making result. Ginny. I did have a wee giggle. I think it's clear who's lost. Sorry, Juliet. In the middle room. If I knew this was a competition, I would have made it the greatest bed you would have ever seen.

You should have just had pride in your orange homes. Which leaves Ben and myself still in the running for first and second. All right, here we go. I almost had, yeah, so I changed my mind actually. Oh, okay, all right. So Ben was in the master suite. Yes, unfortunately the master suite, you hadn't tucked in the under sheets. Yeah, I knew.

I thought it looked good underneath. It was all show on top. It's what's beneath that counts. Whereas, Jono, you clearly put the pillows and everything back in. Thank you very much. Tucked under the sheet, too. Well done. Well done.

I tip my orange hat to you, my friend. Now, Ginny, you told me I can't give away this house, which is wild. So we've got some appliances. Can I give these away? You go on. We'll give it a go. She's like, you bullied me into judging a bed-making competition, bullied me into giving away an espresso machine.

So that's what we'll do right now. So if you want to come down 156, what was the bloody road again? Southfield Drive in Lincoln. If you want to come and join us down here and we'll give away one or two on 0800 the hits as well. Yeah, so we've got air fryers, soda streams, Nespresso machines, Bluetooth echo dots,

Smeg jugs, they're all going, it's all got to go next. 0800 the hits will come down to 156 Southfield Drive, Lincoln. It's a game show called The Price Is Right-ish. We can't use The Price is Right, but that's trademarked, and that would be plagiarism, but we're going to play The Price is Right-ish.

Now, the format of The Price is Right is you have to guess the exact price of an item, don't you? Well, that's how the original game works, right? Not this one, though. Not this one. You have to guess the price of the item and be within a $50 range, and then you can win that item. Well, now we've got a wonderful person coming in to play live. What is your name, my friend?

Nicole. Hello, Nicole. How are you? You look like you've freshly woken up, and this is a lot to take in right now as two people are barking at you through microphones. How are you, Nicole? I'm good. How are you?

Nicole, you live in the area? You come down for a coffee? Yep. I've got my two coffees here. What's so great about Lincoln? It's a nice place. It's peaceful, good schools. Great.

Nice place, peaceful and good schools. Well, welcome to The Price is Right-ish, Nicole. Now, we've got in front of us an espresso mini ascender. Is that how you say it? It's a coffee maker, an espresso coffee maker. Yeah. Have you dreamed of waking up with George Clooney? No.

Well, now you can dream of waking up and drinking like George Clooney. Yeah. He does suck back on some of Clooney's finest. What we're going to do is you've got to guess what the price is of this Nespresso machine within a $50 range. It's the price is right-ish. Okay. Have a guess.

$145. It's the price is right-ish. Okay. Have a guess. $145. Ooh, she's not right. She's right-ish. Well, yeah. Which is all I need. She's $5 off. You've got worth $150 right now, thanks to Orange Homes.

And this presser was sent to a machine. I shouldn't have given it to you while you were talking. It's quite heavy to carry, but that is all yours. Thank you so much for coming down and seeing us this morning. Thank you so much. You're welcome. There we go. That's how it works. The price is right-ish. Now we'll go to the phones. Joining us on 0800, the hits, Nicole.

Welcome from Auckland to New Zealand's Breakfast. How are you? Good morning. I'm good, thank you. Now, do you like your water not at room temperature, but hotter than room temperature, also known as boiling? Then you would love a smeg jug. Do you want a smeg jug?

A smeg? A smeg jug, the top of the line jug. I just had a look at the price, because the price tag's still on the side of this one, and I was like, oh, that's quite pricey. Yeah, this is pricey. So the price is right-ish. What do you think the Smeg jug is worth?

It's a lot more than you'd think a jug was worth. Oh, I know, they're quite expensive. They are, they are. You've got to get within the $50 range on the price is right-ish though, Nicole. Okay. This is stainless steel. Anything else we can tell you about it, Jono?

It's a jug. About $280. Swivel base. What did you say? $289. About $280. $290. Oh, just $279.99.

Congratulations. You are now the proud owner of a Smeg jug on the Price is Right-ish. Oh, awesome. Thank you, hey. Tell me the truth. Did you just, were you just delaying us while you were Googling? No, no, no. No, I've looked at Smeg items before.

No, $279.99. She said $280. I know. This is uncanny. I think we've been Googled. I feel Googled. But I don't care because the price is rightish. Hands out the goods.

Well done. You've won a smeg jug. Oh, I love these. Thank you, Heath. Add these two men together and somehow you get three quarters worth of a normal dad. The Hits with Jono and Ben for breakfast. Jono and Ben's 50,000 seat musical chairs. The only thing that stands between them and 50 free 660 tickets

are 50,000 seats at Eden Park. Now we wanted to give away 50 tickets to 660. They're playing April 24, the first concert ever at Eden Park. So Dave Dobbin, Drax Project, all playing before them. It's going to be a huge night and we've got 50 tickets potentially to give away.

Yeah, so Chris Mack, the sick, twisted bass player that he is. He's one of my favourite bass players, Chris Mack. Who else is your favourite bass player? Flea from John Paul Jones, Led Zeppelin's man. Lani from LMNOP is awesome. She's a good bass player, yeah, but Chris Mack's definitely in my top 20. Oh, yeah.

Okay. Yeah, he's a good bass player. I'd like to see him do a solo tour. Just bass? Yeah, all about the bass. We call it all about the bass. We'll take him on tour. Anyway, that's a whole other idea.

We'll focus on the one we're doing at the moment. Okay, let's not go away with Craig Bruce. Our talent coach, Craig Bruce, will be like, guys, you're throwing in ideas on other ideas. Yeah. Focus. Focus, boys, focus. So, yes, Chris Mack said we can have these 50 tickets

to their history-making Eden Park gig if we sit in 50,000 seats at Eden Park. He has designated one of them to be the luckiest seat in the house once we sit on that. Apparently, we get the 50 tickets. And he said, you'll know. Yeah. You'll know.

I don't know what that means. It sounded threatening. Yeah. Well, no. So it could take us five minutes or it could take us five days. On Tuesday next week, we're going to start just sitting in seat after seat at Eden Park. And, yeah, when we find the lucky seat, hopefully we can give away these tickets. But even just going to Eden Park yesterday because we went and checked it out, just have a look.

I mean, there are so many seats. It's quite daunting when you walk in there and it's not full because you can actually see how big the stadium is. Yeah. And I don't know where, because knowing Chris Mack, he loves a bit of comedy. He's got some comedy chops, hasn't he? He's probably had it in the funny seat, not your stock standard stadium seat. But we even just tested it along a row, just going up and down,

up and down, up and down, sitting. And by the end of it, I was like, oh, my goodness, my quads, my glutes, they're a little bit sore. My legs were like, what are you doing to me? And that's only just like a little bit of practicing. So imagine doing potentially 25,000 squats each. Tell you what, our legs are going to be popping. You ought to take a photo of our legs and put them in Leg Monthly magazine.

So we came back to the office and we were like, we need to do some more practice, need to strengthen our legs. And we'd seen online, there was people that break world records for balloon popping with their behinds. So what they do is they stand above a chair, they put a balloon in underneath their bottom and they sit down fast and they pop the balloon and they try and see

how many balloons they can pop in a minute. We were like, that'd be great. Good leg strengthening. So we gave it a go with you. Or you could have gone to the gym and just done some squats, but Ben preferred this. So I blew out some balloons, and I got Jono to do some balloon behind popping, and this is what it sounded like. Three, two, one.

Oh, your hemorrhoids are playing up. Well, I think I'm physically prepared for this monumental journey. It's an audio form, it sounds. You can check out the video of that. You really do need the visuals to accompany that. Otherwise, you're like, what am I hearing? What is this? What are they part of?

You're like, oh, his hemorrhoids are playing up. You can see more of that on our OnlyFans account. But you can see the actual video of the balloon behind popping at the Hits Breakfast on Instagram. And we're going to be doing the seat sitting next Tuesday at Eden Park to win you guys 56-60 tickets. Broadcasting live. And mostly awake.

Jono and Ben. New Zealand's breakfast. On the Hits. Broadcasting from Orange Homes, the show home in Lincoln and Canterbury. 156 Southfield Drive. If you want to come down this morning, we've got free coffee, bacon buddies to give away. And we've just been joined by Madison.

She's come from down the road. Do you live up the road, Madison? Yes. That's why she came from down the road, Ben. But then you said she lived up the road. I made that so confusing. So where does she live? Look, I didn't want to give away where she lived.

Well, you didn't. If anything, you made it more confusing. But Madison, you just bought us a lovely little treat. Yeah. You baked some cookies for us. Yes, made last night. Oh, Madison, thank you very much. Now, traditionally in commercial radio, you get a little shake,

a little bit nervous accepting baked goods from listeners, but not from you. You look adorable and your baking is exceptional. What are they? We're running a bit of a chocolate chip situation there. Yep, chocolate chip cookies. Are they good? Did you try some last night?

Shh. Oh, sorry. Sorry, I've got to keep quiet about where you live. No sugar before bed. Oh, no sugar before bed. Oh, yeah, fair enough. Well, thank you. It's lovely to meet you

and thank you so much for the lovely cookies. Oh, you're welcome. Good on you. How old are you? 11. 11. Go grab yourself a long black from the coffee cart there and you have a wonderful day at school, Madison. Oh, thank you. Lovely to are you? 11. Go grab yourself a long black from the coffee cart there. And you have a wonderful day at school, Madison.

Oh, thank you. Lovely to meet you, Madison. She's going to be alert and focused and productive at school today with that coffee. Thank you, Madison. Now let's get to Spy. Spy. No WhatsApp. Spy.co.nz We call her the inland revenue because she's ready to tax some celebrities

30% of their dignities. Here's Juliette with Spy. What's happening? So Jamie Foxx has got a brand new Netflix show out called Dad, Stop Embarrassing Me. That's the title of the Netflix show. So it's about a relationship between him and his teenage daughter after his daughter moves in with him. It's a sad backstory.

The mother passes away, so she all of a sudden has to move in with her dad, and it's all about their life together and how the dads just continuously embarrass her. It's one of your few joys you get as a parent, is being able to embarrass your kids. Yeah, well, you don't go out to nightclubs or anything now, so that's what you get to do. It's embarrassing. I love hearing the, oh, dad. Oh, yeah.

I had a shocker at primary school the other day. I picked up Poppy, and the little kids were playing football, and they kicked the football over the fence, and I was on the other side of the fence. I was like, here's my chance to shine. Look out, Bowden Barrett. He's going to kick this back with vengeance. I've got a pretty handy right foot.

So I picked the ball up, and I was like, here you go, kids. I'll kick it over the fence. And I kicked it, and it went off the side of my foot. Oh, that is so embarrassing. Smash into like the decked ranch slider door of the neighbour's house. And I could hear Poppy going, oh.

And I turned around and she literally had her head in her hands. And I was like, I am loving the joy I'm getting from this. I feel like it's a shared you know like it's a shared joy among all dads. They just love embarrassing their children. For a while, your kids love you, but then after a while, they turn on you. They become too cruel, don't they?

And then they get guilty in their 20s that they didn't love you during their teen years. They come back around. Actually, you're okay. And then you're dead. That's a bit morbid. And a pair of Kanye West's first ever Yeezy sneakers. So Yeezy is his shoe brand that he's made billions of dollars from. The very first ones that he made, which he debuted at the Grammys,

are going to be sold for a million dollars, it is expected. It is wild how much those shoes were. Did I tell you about the girl I was talking to at the cafe down the road from my house? No, clearly not. With your confused look at me. I don't know. So she, just before Christmas, she bought. Oh, yeah, she did.

She's selling them again. Yeah, she bought some Yeezys. Yeah. Like $300 or whatever. And she was like, I'm going to wear them to all the festees over New Year's. And then she's like, then I'm going to sell them at the end of January for double the price. But. Used ones are worth more than the brand new ones. Really? Crazy times.

Crazy times. Not even with the Yeezys would help you kick better. And that is five and we can head to thehits.co.nz Real Kiwi blokes with soy lattes. Shono and Ben breakfast on the hits.

On a Thursday morning, broadcasting live from Orange Home, from an Orange Home show home. It's the literal show in a show home this morning here in Christchurch, Canterbury. Yeah. They say mi casa, mi casa, don't they? And that rings true to Orange Homes. My house is your house. And they're very generous letting us into their house.

Not their proper house, the show home. Yeah, but it's a lovely house. We're not of the calibre to stay in a proper house. And they're very generous letting us into their house. Not their proper house, the show house. Yeah, but it's a lovely house. We're not of the calibre to stay in a proper house. It is a proper house. It's a beautiful house. It is actually a really nice house. Yeah, it's nice. I feel like, you know, did you make your bed?

I did this morning. I've made it. It took me about 45 minutes. I just wanted it perfect. Yeah. Just knowing that there'll be some time. Because no one has ever stayed in here before. No.

It's a brand new house. We broke it in. It feels like that. I feel like we've got one has ever stayed in here before. No. It's a brand new house. We broke it in. It feels like that. I feel like we've got... Yeah, we broke it into a house, we ate a lovely platter, and now we're about to get kicked out. That's what it feels like. Now, wonderful Jamie,

who's been here overnight, as a security guard, which felt... Listen, I'm going to be honest, Jamie, completely unnecessary, and I'm sorry we wasted your time. I don't know, you were sort of the Kevin Costner

to our Whitney Houston, were you, overnight. Now as a security guard, staying awake overnight must be the bane of your job. It certainly is. It takes a lot of practice to be able to do that. Yeah. So you can pretty much stay awake any night you want now

without too much trouble. Absolutely. Wow. I would look at it, it's like going to the gym. You know, when you haven't been for a while, it takes a while, but after a few sessions, you learn and you break through, and then you can do it. Right, okay. What's the longest amount of time you've stayed awake for?

Probably about 28 hours. Jeez, that's a long effort. Is that all on the job for 28 hours? Yes. So what do you think of? Or what do you do to help your mind stay awake, I guess? Yeah, now that's a secret. Okay, all right.

We're not on that basis. Once again, it's practice. Yeah. Because you would think that you can get bored very, very fast. Your mind can keep you entertained. Keep you awake. Yeah. Listen, well, I'm sorry for wasting your time.

It wasn't even, what did you do? I mean, it's not even a TV in the place because, you know. I can tell you how many ducks are in the stream. I can tell you which way the wind was blowing at 3.48am. Hopefully you watched one of us sleep or something like that just to

keep yourself entertained. Well thank you very much for keeping us safe overnight. Not a problem. Yeah we really

appreciate it. Yeah no Jamie looks like the type of guy who looks wonderful generous and kind but could end you at any

moment. Like right now he could end us both. If we went boom just like that there would just be silence on the radio. What happened? They got Jamie'd. at any moment. Yeah. Like right now, he could end us both. If we went boom, just like that, there would just be silence on the radio.

What happened? They got Jamie'd. Well, thank you so much to Jamie and the good people at Orange Homes for putting us up in their show home overnight. And as I said before,

after seven o'clock this morning, if you're anywhere near Lincoln in Canterbury, come on down to 156 Southfield Drive in Lincoln and there's free coffee after seven and bacon busties or bacon sandwiches, as Jono likes to call them, after seven o'clock.

Wait, Jamie, sorry, just while you're there, when are you off the clock? Because I'd like you to escort me back to Auckland. I'd like to have you around my family. Just keep them at bay. You've got me till seven. He's got you till seven. He's on the clock till seven.

All right, I was going to say, if you want to talk to me, you talk to Jamie first. But I'm your son. I don't care. You talk to him. All right, I was going to say, if you want to talk to me, you talk to Jamie first. But I'm your son. I don't care. You talk to him. It all goes through Jamie now. Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime.

Just search Jono and Ben on Instagram. Speaking of 660. Jono and Ben's 50,000 seat musical chairs. The only thing that stands between them and 50 free 660 tickets are 50,000 seats at Eden Park. So hopefully we've got 50,000, well, hopefully we've got 50 tickets to give away, sorry, to 660's iconic concert in Auckland

in a couple of weeks' time at Eden Park. There is one small catch. The band, well, Chris Mack from 660, issued us a bit of a challenge. If you haven't heard what's going on, well, hopefully this will get you up to speed. Now, not too long to 660 played their historic concert Eden Park, April 24, and we're

joined on the phone by a friend of the show, Chris Mack. How's it going, buddy? I've lived my whole life to be a friend of a show. Where are our tickets? We want to give away tickets to the show. What are you thinking? 50. 50's too many. Um, 50 years is a lot. I'll talk to you tomorrow.

Only because you called me friend of the show. We'll catch up tomorrow then. Chris Mack joins us back. Friend of the show. Oh, you just got it in there in the end. Have we got the tickets? I went to the guys. I said, listen, Jono and Ben, they called me friend of show.

I don't have many friends. I don't want to lose this. I was crying a little bit and that got them over the line. But if you want these 50 tickets, you have to do something to earn them. At Eden Park, if you sit in the right seat, I'll give you the 50 tickets. But there's 50,000 seats there. Yeah, that's right. Yeah, that's right.

If we go halves, it'll be 25,000 squats each. Oh, squat. They're pretty much just squats. I'm willing to go for it. What do you reckon, John? I can't help but feel partly responsible for the situation that we're in. You're fully responsible. The challenge has been accepted, Chris Mack.

We will try to sit in as many seats as we need to to unlock these tickets. Don't give it up. Don't give it up. It's a great one of your songs. You've got a Ben Boyce joke in there. I do. A trademark Ben Boyce joke in there. That's right. A trademark Ben Boyce joke. TM.

So Tuesday is the day we've organised with Eden Park to go along there. And from the time the show starts in the morning to whenever, we'll just keep sitting on seat after seat at Eden Park until we sit on the lucky seat and activate the 50 tickets. Five minutes or five days, that's what they're saying. That's how long it could take. We went to Eden Park yesterday for a bit of a recce just to see the stadium.

Tell you what, there's a lot of seats there. There's a lot of seats, and, you know, factoring in office chairs, toilet seats. Seats in the corporate box, seats where the players get in the changing room. I mean, there's a lot more seats than just the 50,000 out in the park as well. We just did a practice on one row, and my quads were screaming, screaming at me.

Stop, Jonathan. Stop it. Well, yeah, imagine doing that 25,000 times. Tell you what. So that's happening next Tuesday. Also, today on the show, we're going to be talking to a Guinness World Record holder. He holds multiple Guinness World Records. I think he had over 30.

Is that right? Yeah, he does. Jim Mouth is his name. Now, he's made a wonderful career of breaking mouth-based records. He can jam, what did he jam, like 300 cigarettes in his mouth at one time? Something ridiculous like that. Just to really cut down the lung cancer intake, I'll do it in one hit. Oh, he's not even a smoker,

apparently, but he does it. Yeah, so he can stick so much stuff in his mouth. So much stuff. But we're not going to focus on his mouth records. What, 300 straws in his mouth? Yeah, I know, it's ridiculous. 1,500 toothpicks? But he also holds the world record for the most amount of seats sat on over a 48-hour period.

He went to one of the big stadiums in America and did pretty much what we're kind of doing, sitting on seat after seat after seat for two days in like a 100,000-seat stadium. So we're going to ask him, you know, how can we prepare? What can we look forward to? What's going to really factor in when we're doing this attempt? And I think after he did that attempt,

he put that stadium in his mouth just to double down on the Guinness record. It's paid to talk words and stuff into a microphone. It's New Zealand's breakfast. Jono and Ben on the hits. Are we on air? Scrolling through your feed. I think we are because I just heard the music. Ben Boyce is looking

at me with a bamboozled look and this is what you get when you're broadcasting outside of the studio. Technical. Your mic's not going. Well thankfully our first guest has turned up, Ollie. Hello. Ollie's turned up at what time is it? Jeez, 6.30 in the morning.

Where have you come from, Ollie? Christchurch, Richton. And you drove all the way out to Lincoln just to see your heroes? He did say heroes. At one point. Well, can you say, I came out here to see my heroes. Yeah, came out here just to see my heroes. Heroes.

You see that? Yeah, it's so good to have you here. You've come very, very early in the morning. Your mic's off again, Ben. I think this is an omen. I'll talk to Ollie. This is how the show started between you and Ollie. Yeah.

Well, thank you for coming out, Ollie. Have you got work to go to? What are you doing? Yeah, I'm a software engineer, but I start when I want, so I'll pop afterwards. You are keen and we appreciate it. Our one and only listener in Christchurch. It's here and arrived.

I loved it, though, just before you, well, just as you got here, John was like, open up the doors. Let's open up the doors. It's so cold out there and I'm sitting by the door. Open up the ranch, Lott. I think it's freezing. We're an open door show. Well, I want to close them.

It was nice before. If you want to come down, the Bacon Butty, what is it, like a trailer? It's quite an aggressive looking barbecue there. Cooking up the Bacon Butties. Ollie's going to be jacked up on coffee. Ben's going to be freezing in five degrees. And we're going to get on with scrolling through your feed.

It's right now, Ben. Oh, good. That's happening. So this week is Wait Week at Air New Zealand. A way week. Now, I didn't even know this was the thing. Hilary Barry was on her social media about it yesterday. So what they're doing is they're basically getting an average of people's weights going on the flight

so they know how much the plane or how much weight's going on a plane in the future. It's all they reckon anonymous, but you were saying yesterday that you got weight coming down the crosshairs. Yeah, I didn't catch the same flight as you. And I got through the security thing thing and there were two lovely new zealand staff there and they're like do you mind taking part in way week and i was like i'll take part in anything and so you're sorry someone talks to me i'm in and so you stand on a scale and then you put your hand luggage on the other scale and they're like just so you know i don't know i'm sounding like 20 carol just so you know, I don't know why I'm sounding like $20 Karen, just so you know,

we don't actually see your weight. They don't see the weight on the screen. Oh, they don't? The data's collected and it's sent off. But as I was jumping off the scales, they were like, thanks, Ben. Oh, no. And I was like, no worries, that's right,

it's me, Ben, I put on a few kgs, let myself go, but you get the word around the airport That Ben's checked out on life And so yeah, I weighed in as you And I tell you what, you're looking about Probably 10 kgs heavier mate I would be going back to the gym if I was you I think it must be for

Flight data and stuff Stuff like that Or maybe they're going to do a Pay as you weigh policy No, they won't do that. Or maybe they're going to do a pay-as-you-weigh policy. No, I don't. That would be good. No, they won't do that. They should do pay-as-you-weigh.

That makes sense. It makes sense. You take onto the plane what you weigh. Not you pay for your luggage by weight. Why not pay for your body by weight? They're proud of New Zealand. Go New Zealand. If only New Zealand was proud of them.

Jono and Ben. New Zealand's breakfast. On the hits. Jono and Ben. New Zealand's breakfast. On the hits. Jono and Ben broadcasting from the Orange Show Home. And Lincoln, if you want to come down after 7 o'clock, we've got free coffees and free bacon buddies at 156 Southfield Drive. That's right. Greasy bacon and high-energy coffee.

Your hearts will be thanking you for it. Come on down. Ollie's down here already. He came down at 6.30. And, Ollie, you're the only one here at the moment, so we're relying on you to mow through about 13 kilograms of bacon, mate. Alright, he's already had a couple. Thank you very much. Thanks, Ruby. There's coffee delivered.

Come on down. Fun for the whole family and I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth, Benjamin Boyce. But has anyone else noticed that the Orange Home isn't actually orange? Oh no, it's not. It's a family name. It's a family name. It's been a lie. After 7 o'clock, you were saying you found some

items that you want to actually give away to people as well. I don't know if it's sanctioned, but we might do that after 7. I spoke to Jenny from Orange Homes. I was like, when are we giving this home away? She's like, we're not giving a home away. What did you think you were coming down here for? And I was like, well, if we can't give the home away, we'll give everything inside away. The appliances, come on down.

Get yourself an espresso machine. Who wants an air fryer? You've got an espresso machine? There's an espresso machine. Well, they've got one, and I'm going to give it away. Oh, wow. Okay, let's do some spy entertainment news. Spy.

No WhatsApp. Spy.co.nz. Tell you what, someone call the doctor, because these celebrities are going to need some Gaviscon after this burn fest. Juliet, what's coming in the spice? No burns on any celebrities today.

So the Queen is obviously, sorry, the funeral of Prince Philip is coming up this weekend but there are reports that the Queen might have to sit by herself at the funeral. This is really sad. Which is really sad because of COVID restrictions. So the rules from the UK government

mean that at funerals, people outside of your bubble, you have to stay two metres apart from each other and sit two metres apart. So the poor Queenie might be by herself

for her husband's funeral. She's not by herself. She's just two metres away from someone. But that means you can also offer a consoling tap on the shoulder

for two metres away. You could. You could have had to hug your family. It's very sad for all families who have had to go through funerals during lockdowns and COVIDs. I mean, even in New Zealand, there were many families couldn't get back from Australia for funerals.

Yeah, couldn't go to the funeral, had to watch. They were doing Zoom funerals, I think, for a while there as well, just because people can't attend them. Yeah, and it's a sad state of affairs, that's for sure. And you do feel for her, don't you? Yeah. When you see that lovely photo of them on the front of the Herald the other day, you're like, oh, sweet old couple.

Well, you've made so many... Anyway. No, it's all right. No, what do you want to say, mate? No, I don't. I do want to say it, but I don't want to say it now. So I'm going to... So hold on to that.

He's clearly got something he wants to bring to the group. Julia, do you want to hear what he's got to say? Yes. No, I'm going to say it, but I don't want to say it now. So I'm going to... So hold on to that. He's clearly got something he wants to bring to the group. Julia, do you want to hear what he's going to say? Yes. No, we'll do that. I'm going to be better than this. He's going to say... What? Nothing.

He's going to say I've made jokes at Prince Philip's expense. No, anyway. So let's carry on with Spy in Time news. Okay. Oh, my microphone. Here, take this one, mate. Oh, okay. Here we go.

Thank you very much. It keeps cutting out. But so yesterday I reported that Jennifer Aniston might be adopting a child. Do you remember that, Johnny? Yeah. There's a good microphone. I remember that

and I reckon this is what I'm going to predict. That 24 hours later after Juliet said she's adopting a child she's now going to tell us it was actually all made up and false

which seems to be the theme of Spy. Yeah. Yes. Well, you know, Spy is just you read stories on the internet and speak it out loud, so you just have to... Then someone fact checks them.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's not actually true. Yeah, so that is the case with Jennifer Aniston. Her rep has shut down the rumours and said the story is a fabrication. But she, yeah, so she's not adopting a baby girl. Well, no, because I remember you said the story, and I told a heartfelt story about our friend trying to adopt. Yeah, that's right.

Remember, I spilled my heart out, and it was all for nothing. Yes. Nothing. Hey, as you say, it filled some air time. So no baby for Jennifer Aniston just yet. And that is five more. You can head to thehits.co.nz. Ben and Jono call this show Jono and Ben,

Breakfast on the Hits. The Hits. That is our show. Thank you so much for hanging out with us over the last few hours. Thanks, of course, to Orange Homes. They put us up in their show home last night.

It's the World Tour and people camping out for four days for this event. We will see you tonight. Don't worry as the World Tour rolls into town. And we have been in the show home all morning. Yeah. And we weren't allowed to give away the house. Apparently that was a big no-no. Whatever you do, don't give away the house. Apparently that was a big no-no.

Whatever you do, don't give away the house. It's a mistake we commonly make. But we stole items from the house and we've got the Echo Dot which is basically Alexa.

You know Alexa? We talked to Alexa. Yeah. And she's creepily listening to you the whole time. And we're going to give it to Ollie

who's been here. He got here at 6 o'clock this morning. So thank you so much for hanging out with us, Ollie. We really do appreciate it. You take that, my friend.
