Jono, Ben & Megan - The Podcast - April 27 - Ben's Drunk Six60 Concert Recap

Episode Date: April 27, 2021

Hello friends! On today's show, we broadcast from a Skinny dairy & gave the dairy owner the day off (he works a LOT!), which meant we took over and (attempted to) serve customers. (Not sure how well that went). Ben recapped Six60's show at Eden Park with a bunch of audio he recorded while he was there. What he didn't realise was how drunk he sounded! Finally, we chatted about the length of time that someone should wait after a divorce before they start dating again. JUICY STUFF. 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. Welcome to the podcast. That's right, Jono and Ben coming at you from outside a dairy in suburban Auckland. What did you call this? Sandringham, Mount Albert? Where are we?

It's Mount Albert, isn't it? It's Mount Albert. What about it? It's the 27th of April, and this is the beginning of our podcast, The Reason We're Outside Skinny Dairy. There's a motorbike going past. Very nice motorbike.

We're on the footpath here in Torrential Rain earlier. We're outside Keyshore's Dairy. Keyshore owns this dairy. We're giving them the day off. It's a skinny dairy. I'm going to walk through the door if that's okay. I love this noise. I love that noise. How are you guys? Good, thank you.

Welcome to the skinny dairy. Do you want to buy something in there? We do. What are you after? Juice. Juice. Kishore, you can go and serve them juice if you need to, mate. All right. Kishore's just also running the dairy and doing podcast intros I love Keishaw He's been wonderful

He's multitasked really well today We haven't We've been shocking trying to do a radio show and run a dairy But he's done a great job Jeez, I tell you what First time doing a show on a footpath outside a dairy It was actually really fun It was a really fun show

We spent a bit of time in the dairy today And then also on the footpath And outside on the footpath We looked like people collecting for something or doing some sort of bake sale. Who are these pesky charity workers? You know, we'd be the ones who are like, hey, sir, have you thought about giving to the orangutans of West Tanzania?

And they're like, oh, here's two bucks. Oh, no, we don't take your money, but we do sign you up to a direct debit for 15 years. But I also love, also because we love the greeting cards at the dairy. There's a great selection of greeting cards. There's a whole shelf of them. And we've taken the shelf outside.

But it looks like pamphlets next year. You look like, oh, you're going to punish me with pamphlets from a distance. And in a range of, you know, you've got your sympathy cards, your condolences with you. Haven't got one. My daughter's just had tonsillitis. She's been a bit sick. Is there anything you can do for that? There's no tonsils.

No, no. I realize there's no tonsil-related one, but is there anything like thinking of you, hoping you get better soon, feeling under the weather? Does that work? The best I can do for you. Oh, is it feeling under the weather? I can see it right there. There you go.

To the left there. Yeah, I can do that one. Okay, so this is a cute little dog. It's a Dalmatian. Looking a little startled. Looking drunk almost, the Dalmatian. Well, that's why it's feeling under the weather. The eyes are a bit askew, quite yellowy from years of alcohol intake, and it just says

hope you'll get better soon. Oh yeah, it's kind of a flick. Okay, give me one other random option. Okay, and I will give you, here's a good one, with deepest sympathy. Okay. With deepest sympathy. Hoping these words of sympathy

convey in some small way the many heartfelt thoughts we feel for you today. Well, thinking about it, I guess it kind of... It's a little too deep. It's quite deep and heavy

anyway. It's the deepest. Really fun show today on the podcast Out of a Dairy today. Hey, how are you? Hey, it's Karen. How are you doing?

Friend of mine. Yeah. This is what happens when you're brought... These are the people in your neighbourhood. That's right. A lot of people drive past and they look at us and they're like, oh, really? This is what happens when you're brought in. These are the people in your neighborhood. That's right. A lot of people drive past and they look at us and they're like,

oh, really? This is what it's come to. Yes. This is what it's come to. Enjoy the podcast. Lots of fun from the dairy today. And an exclusive recap of the 660 concert too. I think you'll find that no one else covered the 660 concert like we did today.

It was. I was not expecting it. Ben went to the 660 concert like we did today. It was... I was not expecting... Ben went to the 660 concert as our roving reporter. And before the show had even started, he's like, 660 about to come out. It's not that bad. It's a kapa haka group. It's not that bad.

It was incredible to listen to. You listened to that back on Sunday. Boozy Boys. And Juliette, when you were loading that in, did you not use any discretion? I'm sorry. I thought, you know, we need to see more of Boozy Boy, so I left all of the boozy bits out, you know? You did.

I was just really enjoying it. It was an amazing performance from 660. And a cup of honey. There you go. Enjoy the podcast. Two dads just trying to fill some air time. Some may say it's pointless, but the main thing is it fills in some air time for us.

That is the main thing. John and Ben, breakfast on the hits. Of course, Saturday night, the largest concert in the world since the COVID-19 pandemic began, 660. How cool was that? The first ever concert at Eden Park. As we mentioned earlier, it's made international headlines. New York Times, The Telegraph, Washington Post, New York Post, The Sun.

Just, you know, the rest of the world is just amazed that there's a concert with that many people going on somewhere in the world. And congratulations on a serious note to 660 on achieving this history-making event. Not only in New Zealand, but internationally as well. It's a huge achievement. They set themselves some big goals those guys and they achieved them. I saw something on their social media over the weekend saying if anyone tells you something's impossible, just show them this

picture of Eden Park, a packed Eden Park because for a long time it was impossible to get a concert. No one else has done a concert at Eden Park. To be honest, I've probably got no chance of filling out a 50,000 seat concert. No, but that's just the example. I don't know how that applies to me. That's the example. Just go show them that photo and go yeah you can do that the things and the impossible things okay all right jono's concert coming soon to eden park

that wasn't the point that was just someone says it was impossible like someone said it's impossible for you to show out of the dairy you know you show them that picture of the concert you go 660 to the concert in park i can do a show out of a dairy and we're doing that this morning yeah that was this morning you're right that's right we're doing that this morning. We are, this morning. You're right. That's right. We're achieving our goals as well, 660. Now, I went along to the concert, and you were like, get some audio. Get some audio of a concert.

So I did. Yeah, great. I really wanted just to enjoy the concert, but anyway, I decided to get some audio. What were you going to 660 for? To enjoy a concert with your whanau or record bits of audio for the radio? Now, I've seen the audio through to producer Juliet Juliet and it started a bit weird. I had an Uber from where we were working and I had a bit of a weird Uber ride to the concert.

Here's some of the audio. So I'm very excited. I'm heading to the 660 concert. I'm just here with my Uber driver. What's your name again, mate? Jonathan. Big night tonight? Busy night? What are you recording this for? Radio. The radio station that hits Breakfast. I noticed before you had the Hits on.

No, I don't. I don't listen to the Hits. What do you do on the Hits? I do the breakfast show. Yeah, I don't like that. Okay. A fan of dropping people off at concerts? Well, it's my job.

Yeah. Are you going to play this on the... Yeah, if that's all right. Is that okay? Please don't. I don't give it any permission. Okay, okay. Anyway. Is it on Uber Ride?

Sure. I said, you said pick me up at Gate C at 10.30. I was waiting. Your Uber ride is going down. And he soiled the car. I had to charge him a soiling fee. I got to the concert though and it's actually pretty cool. Walking out onto the field because we were standing out on the field and

looking up at Eden Park to a packed stadium. The stands stands it was probably the closest you're ever going to feel to being you know playing for the all blacks the black caps because just you know when you just look at that photo mate you could play for the all blacks you can achieve anything possible is nothing uh but uh so dave dobbin was on stage before them then we had drax project i recorded a little bit of drax project thrust the phone in my daughter's face and caught her off guard as Drax Project were on stage. Sarah, what's going on? When Z6 Demon Drax Project is playing. That's good singing.

Oh, you're on your own now. Really? This is the hype-up. She really faded out there. She really, like, even with no one looking at her, she lost confidence in that situation. You know, you can just, she sounds like a drunk 25-year-old, but she's a cute little 10-year-old.

I played the order. She was like, I couldn't hear myself. Couldn't hear. It was too loud. The singing was terrible. Well, to be fair, shocking conditions. Dad just puts a phone in front of him. Oh, what do you want me to do?

You want me to perform? And then at 8.30 Saturday night, 6.60 walked out. So it was kind of quiet as they walked out, but you just hear the crowd and it was about to erupt. It was a pretty special moment. Here we go. 6.60 about to get on stage. I feel like a commentator at Eden Park

even though I have no place commentating and people are looking at me weirdly and I'm talking, I'm just for radio. They're like, what are you doing? Sorry, I'm just explaining myself. They're walking out in the crowd. Guys get on stage, it's going to go crazy. May have started

this a bit early, guys. If you wanted to hear audio of a guy recording it through his phone while people watched him recording it, then this is the show for you. There you go. The slurriest guy. That's about to get crazy. Mate, it wasn't ideal. Boozy voice.

Boozy voice. Can you even remember? That's about to get crazy. I can't remember. I can't remember. You had a choice not to play that on the radio. I wanted to bring some content from the 660 concert. I hope there's no more.

Have you split it up, Producer Julia? Or, you know, something has slowed it down? Or something you've done? No, you're just covering your bum here. Can I just say on a serious note, this was a lovely moment. 660, when they first came out, singing in Toreo. I thought this was awesome with the Kapa Haka group. Have a listen.

They've got a Kapa Haka group on stage singing in Toreo. It's pretty awesome. I've got goosebumps. Yeah, so it's pretty cool, pretty cool. And it was an amazing concert. And that's all the recording I did.

How was the barbecue? Listen, that's the last time I'm ever going to get you to review a concert. We can't even trust him to stay sober for 10 minutes. I was in a good state. Juliet. Well, I stopped then. I stopped then and enjoyed the concert after that. Where's the rest of it? That's all I did, mate.

That was the start of the concert. You didn't want any more of the rest of it. Imagine by the end it'd just be a guy going. Oh, dear. That was Juliet. I love you, man. I love you. Juliet, you're a young broadcaster.

She's impressionable. Yeah, I can learn from you, Ben, to not do that in my future. There you go. Hey, there's coverage that no one else is bringing you this morning of a historic coverage of a historic concert. I tell you what. You know, 660 said you could do anything. Apart from report on a concert intoxicated.

Don't even try that again. Hey, hey, hey. It is that. She got just a cuppa. Experts in semi even try that again. Aye, aye, aye. It is the hits. Where's the cuppa? Experts in semi-accurate, half-remembered information. Vaguely known information, but maybe not correct. Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast on the hits. Broadcasting this morning from a skinny dairy.

There are 50 skinny dairies around the country, and, jeez, they work hard, the people that run the dairy. So we thought we'd give one lucky dairy the day off. Yeah. And we're running the dairy this morning. Yeah, Kishore and his hard, the people that run the dairy. So we thought we'd give one lucky dairy the day off. Yeah. And we're running the dairy this morning. Yeah, Kishore and his dairy, the Asquith Dairy. And it's our first broadcasting from inside a dairy where actually, if you can imagine where you would generally walk around the middle of the dairy

and pay for items, we've got our radio gear set up right there. Thank you for describing that. It's very inconvenient. And he's got everything. I'm literally sitting next to a sack of potatoes. You want a

1B8? I've got a 1B8 right beside me. Your classic Warwick, 1B8, your 1B5s,

your 1B4s, all of your 3B1s are in there as well. So much great stuff everywhere you look. Where was the

last time you sold a sack of potatoes, Keshore? I've sold loose ones. You sell single potatoes, Keshaw? I never sold a sack, but I've sold loose ones. You've sold loose ones. You sell single potatoes, not for individual sale.

No. Hey, so if you want to give us a call right now, 0800 the hits is the phone number. You've got 30 seconds to direct Jono around the dairy. The catch is you're not going to know what areas Jono's making his way to, and he will just grab items when you direct him, and you'll win those items. We'll send them out to you.

Snatching and grabbing. I'll be doing it quicker than I stole all that toilet paper from the supermarket during the first lockdown. And the convenient thing, too, is doing the show from inside a dairy, you know when you get the text of, like, can you pick up some bread and milk on the way home? We can do it. Yes.

Bread and milk is just an – honestly, you can stretch your arm out and you can grab some bread. There you go. You've got bread. There's some Mollenberg right there. I can literally stretch over and get the milk as well. Job done. Job done.

Okay, all right, let's go to the first caller. Who have we got? I think it's Carla. Is Carla there? Yeah, I'm here. How are you this morning, Carla? How was your weekend? Oh, yeah, not bad.

Not bad at all. I might just stop and put you on the phone instead of being through Bluetooth. Okay. Hello, Carla. Carla's got a few questions. I can't really hear you. She can't really hear me too well, but she's just having some Bluetooth issues. I'm here.

No, you guys, I can hear you. Now, I don't have headphones on. What do you mean Carla's got stuff to work on, like personally? Oh, no, with the telecommunications system. She's obviously not on skinny, but we're back here now. We're all sorted. All right. Okay, Carla.

Jono is standing in the middle of the dairy right now. You need to direct him into some places. Any places you want to go in 30 seconds, and he'll grab some stuff. You tell him. So just go left, right, left, whatever. Okay. Left, right, and then grab whatever from Carla. He's gone left.

He's gone right. He's grabbed whatever. He's got some original white vinegar. Okay. Keep grabbing. Keep grabbing. Some white sugar. Oh, he's got some table salt. Five steps left. Five steps left. One, two grabbing. Keep grabbing. Some white sugar. Some table salt.

Five steps left. Five steps left. One, two. He's behind the counter. I don't know if he's allowed behind the counter, but he's there now. What have you grabbed? She's got some baby oil. Baby oil.

Carla, baby oil. These are the items. You name four items to give me a good night out. Ten steps forward. Ten steps forward. Ten steps. I can't go forward. Oh, one more thing.

Well done. She's got three packets of Opti-Zor Panadol. Are we going to have to send those out? We'll find out. So that's Carla's little water. That's so funny. What a great collection of water. Oh, the table salt's really handy.

I didn't see you grab the table salt. Some silk baby oil. Kishore, how much baby oil are you selling every day? Not every day, mate, but if you need it, you know where it is. Right here at the Skinny Dairy. I could have sure got it. It's in white. All right, let's go.

Let's go one more. Thank you, Carly. You're on the line. We'll grab your details. Let's go. Rebecca from Tauranga. Is Rebecca from Tauranga on the line? Hello, I'm here.

Hey, Rebecca. Now, Jono's gone to the far corner of the dairy. You need to direct him around anywhere you want to go in 30 seconds. Your time starts now. Okay, go straight ahead and reach out. Straight ahead and reach out. Whatever is there. She's got

some Libra maternity pads. Okay, alright. Okay, go left. Go left. Go left. Go left. Grab what's in there. She's got 24 party candles. Oh, yeah.

Birthday candles. Does she want some wet look gloss gel? Oh, that's good. That's good. Now go back. I reckon go back five paces. And she's got a popsicle. And a popsicle.

There we go. What a great haul, Rebecca from Tauranga. And Kishore said she could have the tennis balls as well. That was actually really fun. I don't know if anyone else enjoyed that game as much as us. But thank you so much to Rebecca and Carla for taking part. And a well first. Tennis ball, 24 party candles, some Libra maternity pads and a bicycle.

From stealing Mike Hosking's car to stealing the hearts of New Zealand. Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast on the hits. Broadcasting from a skinny dairy. There are 50 skinny dairies around New Zealand and right now we decided we were in the dairy, we decided we'd head outside

and soak up some of the atmosphere and also soak up some of the rain. Jeez, it started really raining. Wonderful atmosphere to soak up here in suburban Auckland, that's for sure. I love wonderful Alan who's working with us this morning. He's like, get out there. It'll be good branding. Get out there on the footpath.

We're in torrential rain right now with a lot of electrical equipment, so I don't know what health and safety would have to say about this, but this is the commitment that we have to broadcasting from a dairy. There's a little child waving at us through a bedroom. Welcome to the show. Now, this morning we are broadcasting from a dairy, but we want to get into this. And I think Monica joins us on the phone right now. She's got a bit of an issue she wants to bring to you guys, the Hits listeners, for a bit of help.

How are you, Mon? Good morning, Woj. How are you? Yeah, we're doing wants to bring to you guys, the Hits listeners, for a bit of help. How are you, Mon? Good morning, boys. How are you? Yeah, we're doing well. Lovely to have you on this morning with us. Now, what's your issue? It's not you that's got a problem. It's your friend. No. So, it's one of my old best friends. So, she's been married for the last couple of years

and her and her husband have just divorced. They're going through a divorce at the moment. I, just split up. And she's just started dating all of three weeks after this is all kind of going down. I think it's very, very soon. And I just, I'm concerned. Am I a bad person if I say something to her?

I just, yeah, I feel that I'm comfortable about the situation and I want to say something, but I just don't know what the right thing to do is. Right, so you think she's like a netball player returning from a shoulder injury. She's back in the game after three weeks. It's quite a quick turnaround. Yeah, it is.

But then the relationship maybe hadn't been going that well, you would say, for a long time. It would have been a long runway to that point. You'd say at least 12 months. I mean, marriages don't end overnight unless you're Jennifer Lopez. So in her mind, a little bit of a dig for J-Lo there. Unnecessary as well. But so in her mind, maybe it's been a year and then those three weeks that she hasn't really been married.

So you could kind of say it could be like that. Emotionally, she may have checked out of the relationship a long time ago. I see what you're saying there, Ben, boys. But three weeks from it being made, you know, I guess official, friends and family official, is a pretty quick turnaround. So I can see where you sit with this. What are your concerns, though? I suppose I don't want to annoy her

because obviously she's on a no-go-closest friend. I don't want to annoy her because obviously she's on a older closest friend I think she's going through a bit of a thing at the moment so yeah I just want to kind of tiptoe around it I know but what do you want? Do you want her to wallow in misery for 12 months? No

I wanted to get out there but I'm just scared that it might be too soon so I don't know if I should say something or not. Ben, if we ever break up, when is an appropriate time to see another co-host? Because I see you secretly Googling pictures of Vaughan Smith. I know, I went through your internet history. Vaughan Smith funny, Vaughan Smith handsome, Vaughan Smith single.

He's even started a Vaughan Smith fan page called Vaughn Hub. Yeah, I have, and I'm still waiting for it. So, like, if we ever end, when would be a time that you would go? You can't have anyone. You can't have anyone. I can't move on. No, mate, you're not allowed to move on. But it's funny you mention this,

because this similar situation happened to a friend of mine. And I said something I think probably the most... was give it time because you need to get your schedule sorted and what you want to do before you get out. Start dating. Yeah. That would be the only concern is that you haven't had enough time alone because, you know, I imagine after a long marriage like that or a long relationship, to have time alone would be quite good.

You probably need that, right? What do you want? What do you want in life? What do you want in a partner? And, you know, three weeks might not give you enough time to make those decisions. That's very sensible, Jono. After that strange Vaughan Hub call,

you came out with something very sensible. So, 0800THEHITS, let's help Monica out this morning, is three weeks too soon to be seeing someone else after a relationship ends, a divorce. What do you say? You're going to go whatever makes them happy. Yeah, well, there is a big part of me that says that.

And I reckon also mentally, as I said before, there's been probably a long runway to that point. So I think it's okay. I mean, I'd be worried if she was moving in with someone after three weeks or going into a marriage after three weeks, engagement or something like that. But I think three weeks is okay just to see what's out there. All right, let's help out Mon this morning. New Zealand 0800, the hits, 4487, the texts.

When is too soon to start dating after a breakup? Give us a call or a text this morning. We'll kick off with Debbie in Taranaki. How are you, Debs? I'm good, thanks. Good to have you on this morning. This is a little bit of a contentious issue. How soon can you start dating after a breaking up from a long term?

I don't know. I wasn't really ready at three weeks, but I sort of got a little bit of a push, so I did start dating again. How long after your breakup? It would have been roughly around about the three weeks to a month. Oh, it was the three weeks to the month. And do you regret getting back on the scene too early? No, I don't because, yeah, it worked out good.

It really got me out there a bit more confident because it's not nice, you know, breakups are crap. Yeah, no, they're not nice. And, Ben, you did raise a really good issue that emotionally you may have checked out Debbie many months before the official breaking up. I think I checked out, yeah. One month on, one month off. One month on, one month off.

Then you just check out fully and you're ready to go. Bit of a roller coaster. Someone's texting saying, my ex-fiance started dating someone within two weeks, then moved in with them. Oh, really? Two weeks? Okay.

It happens. We'll go to Anonymous. You're on the air. Welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast. Your thoughts. Is three weeks too soon to start dating? Hello, Anonymous. This is the problem when you call someone anonymous.

No one knows who Anonymous is. Is Anonymous there? Anonymous should be there, but maybe they're not. Maybe they wanted to say it's very anonymous and hang up. What was the situation, Producer Juliette? They were going to say who's to say what's right or wrong. Just let her be and make her own decision, basically. Yeah, and that seems to be the popular vote on the text, 4487.

Whatever makes her happy. I broke up with a partner of eight and a half years, but I checked out emotionally three years prior. That's what I was saying. Yeah, no, everyone's backing up your claims this morning. I like this. No one backing up. Prior's sensible. Spend some alone time. Set some life goals.

Five-year plan. What are you wanting out of someone? None of that. Just get back on there and start riding like a racehorse. I think your thing plays into account as well. You need to do that as well. Here's a wonderful text in from Hannah. My mum told me in order to get over someone, you

must get under someone. That is wonderful motherly advice. Ben and Jono call this show Jono and Ben. Breakfast on the Hips. The Hips. Now we're broadcasting this morning from a skinny dairy. There are 50 skinny dairies around the country and we thought we'd do

something to do with orange because skinny's colour is orange. So give us a call right now. 0800 the hits and you could win some prizes that are orange from the dairy. Does that include my auntie Trish who spends 12 months of the year over on the Gold Coast? Well, if she's inside the dairy, maybe we could give her away, but she's currently not. We've got Donald Trump's bed sheets too, fresh after a spray tan. But let's go to the first caller right now on 0800. That's from Papakura, Jamie Morena. How are you? Yeah, hey, Morena.

Morena, lovely to have you on, Jamie. So we're going to scour everything orange in the shop. If we were in Willy Wonka's factory, I'd pick up a little Oompa Loompa or something. Yeah. No Oompa Loompas in the Asquith dairy, though. What have you got? Where do you want me to go? Maybe head towards the chip aisle and the biscuit aisle.

Maybe there's something orange down there. Okay. Jono, I'm going to get you to grab five items that are orange from the chip and the biscuit aisle. Ready? Go for Jamie. Jamie, you've got a pack of Cheetos. They're flaming hot. They're crunchy. Oh, yes, Cheetos. You've also got the Works chips from Eater.

The Ripples. Oh, the Works. Okay, Ripples chips. And I'm going to chuck in some Barbecue Shapes Chicken Crumpy. A wonderful flavour. Anything else? Anything else? And I'll get a Reese's Pieces. Oh, Reese's Pieces. Oh, yeah. One more. One more. And there's a bottle of sweet chilli sauce as well. There you go. Nice. Thank you very much, man. No worries. There's a nice of sweet chilli sauce as well. There you go. Nice.

Thank you very much, man. No worries. There's a nice little connection for Jamie. I think all of those items actually feature on the food pyramid, don't they? Somewhere on the pyramid. Yeah, well done, Jamie. Neil, you're on from Christchurch. How are you?

Oh, not too bad. You guys, how are you? Yeah, lovely to have you on, Neil, on this Tuesday morning. All right, direct me around the shop and I'll grab orange items. Yeah, so buy this counter by the tobacco store. We should be parked right there. Can you give me some park drive? Are we able to get some park drive? I don't think we can do that this morning,

but you grab somewhere close to the counter. Okay, well, by the counter, might I say, Neil, from Christ's sake, you sound like you've smoked Park Drive for 55 years. Go get some stuff. You've got a round of stuff. Listen,

we've got some Friskies cat biscuits here. Tender and crunchy. They'll do. Keep going, keep going. Flavors of chicken and beef. They've got some dog food as well. Baxter's dog food.

I'll get you a light bulb from Phillips. I've got some Witticus chocolate I'm going to grab for you because you're always floundering around. Oh, there you go. Wonderful items.

And to chuck in as well, a bottle of Mr. Muscle all-purpose household-grade disinfectant. And let's go one more cause right now. We're trying to give away everything orange that we can get from the dairy. Not quite the park drive Neil was after, but Mel, you're on from Invercargill. Hi. And where do you want me to go in this dairy? Just like, I don't know.

Wonderful directions. Okay. I don't know anything. Okay, well, let's see how you go. Do you want to check that? I'll guide myself over to the back aisle here. I've got you a biodegradable orange toothbrush. Oh, there you go.

You'll have pearly whites. Also... Do they have phones at the shop? Now, now you want me to grab a phone? Do you sell phones here? No phones, no phones. We've got a packet of Jeffers, though. Oh, that's good. You might not have a cell phone, but you've got a packet of Jeffers. Also some dried apricots. Oh, yummy. Featured here as well. Some oxo beef cubes. Dog biscuits. I'll get you some dog biscuits. Done. Here we cubes. I'll get you some dog biscuits. Done.

Here we go. You really livened up halfway through that. Can you get me a phone? That was a great play. Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime. Just search Jono and Ben on Instagram. Broadcasting live from the

Asquith Dairy, coming to you live where dreams come true and Kishore, who runs the dairy. What's the most anyone has ever spent in the dairy, Kishore? Biggest transaction, baby. What have you done? Actually, it was over the weekend. It was $400. Oh, $400 in the dairy.

But that was for a pay-save voucher, which I think people use to go on the internet with. Oh, right. Buy weird things on the internet with Bitcoin or something like that or play the games or whatever $400 for the dairy we're at a skinny dairy this morning in Mount Albert giving away more stuff after 8 o'clock on the show. You know one of my favourite things

and this would be a comforting sound to anybody that are listening right now I love that noise a comforting sound to anybody that are listening right now. I love that noise. It just internationally just takes you back to the dairy. It's kind of annoying when you're in the dairy

and some guy like you keeps walking in and out, but it is, it does. It instantly sees dairy, that noise. I don't know how it works or what happened, what witchcraft takes place. It's a sensor system.

It just goes, doesn't it? It's amazing. It probably is a sensor system if I think about it. Now, Ben, do you know your daughter? She's got a cellular phone now. Has she reached cell phone stages? Yeah, now she's started intermediate and walking to school. We've given her one to use after school for emergency situations.

Yeah, right. Well, Oscar's in the same situation. My son's... It's my old phone. Yeah, I handed down my old phone too. Yeah. It's all cracked. Some of the things don't quite work,

but it's all fine. It's fine. You can still call and text. That's all you need. Jeezy, I hope you cleared the history on that thing before you handed it over. Oh, mate, it's nothing. What's nothing?

I've seen the stuff you look at. I've been Googling Jono and Ben, and it's not favorable. You don't want your daughter to read that. But, you know, Oscar's the same. I say my son, he's the same. But children, they don't have a basic grasp on phone etiquette, do they? I mean, we just chuck this thing in their hands, and they're expected to know what to do.

Like, I send them a text message on Monday, and I don't get a reply until like Saturday. He's like you, though. That's what you do, though. Yeah, I do. You do that. Our WhatsApp group, you reply to something from about nine days ago. Maybe it's from the gene pool.

Yeah. Yeah, but he replied back six days later going, that sick dude. Whatever. But then he phoned me on the weekend, and we were working in the forest in the middle of nowhere, a half an hour out from Tauranga and Rotorua. And we're at these remote control car track.

And this noise is going on in the background. That's the noise. And I answer the phone. And it's adorable to get a call from your kid. It's really a nice little moment. But he's in the middle of, he's still got to do a school project. He's building a bridge. And he's like,

you all right there? And I said, yeah, no, I'm fine. And this noise is going on in the background. I said, I'm a little bit busy. He's like, okay, hey, no, just about this bridge. I'm just on YouTube.

I said, I don't know how to build the bridge. Can you help me out? I'm like, oh, I'm just doing something. He's like, you know, that's all good. So he's saying here that there's triangles are the one to use. And I had to have this conversation

with him. But you can't see what's going on. No, I can't see. And I know nothing about bridges. I'm not an engineer. But it's adorable that he thinks I do. One of my least favourite games I play when I ring home and we're away for work is when one of my daughters answers the phone. And because they're quite similar in age and they sound quite similar, I have that little thing going, oh which is this, is it Indy or Sienna? How was

today? Good. You're like, oh who's this? It's like a little game show that no parent wants to play. Which of your children is this? As you slowly sort of narrow it down through questions going, pretty sure this is Indy but I'm not 100% George's yet.

And Amanda's like, it's your wife. You're a shocking husband and father. 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. Broadcasting this morning from a skinny dairy, Asquith Dairy

in Mount Albert. Having a lot of fun this morning. We are. We're not for individual sale but you can get two for one on Jono and Ben this morning at the dairy. You can come on down and hang out for a little bit. We've got Kishore here who runs the dairy. Come over here, Kishore. How long have you been running this dairy, mate?

29 years. 29 years. He gets up at 2.30 in the morning. He's got another job. Then works here until 7 o'clock at night. That's why we're covering your hard-working arse, and I can tell you it's a fine-looking one as well. Thank you. Thank you.

We're going to play our favourite game we like to play every morning for $5,000. Five words for 5K on the hit. You're only five words away from a massive payday. It is a simple game of word association. We say it's a simple game. It's simple to play, but it's very hard to match it up. We'll tell you five words. You tell us the first things that pop into your head.

If your words match with ours, you win $5,000. Now, we're fresh off a win with producer Juliette on Friday, and Ben and myself are like proud parents living vicariously through the achievements of our daughter, Juliette. Well done. That was a weird little storyline there. It was. I apologise for that.

But already 30 grand given away this year with this game. And Kishore, given this is your dairy, we'd love you to be the person who goes into the soundproof booth, a.k.a. the very crammed toilet, in the back of the dairy today. Is that okay? Yeah, we'll give that. So if you want to match five words with Kishore, you can win $5,000.

And we've got Lucy on the phone from Wellington. Morena, Lucy, how are you? Good morning. I'm very good, Shane. How are we? We're doing well. Did you have a nice long weekend? I did, thanks.

I was a bit lazy, but, you know, that's what long weekends are for, aren't they? Oh, I could only dream of that. I could only dream of it. So we're going to send Kishore out of the dairy right now, and if you match five words with him, you win $5,000, which coincidentally could buy you every item inside this dairy. Excellent. Bring it on.

Lucy, you know how the game works? I do indeed, yep. Alright, here we go. Here is your first word. Five words, $5,000. Pony. Pony? Yeah. Horse.

That's not a bad option. What would you have gone with that? Yeah, that was the first thing that popped into my head as well. I thought ride for some reason. Okay. The problem is we've sent Kishore out of the dairy, but we've got some customers that just walked out right now. Hi, kids.

How are you? The dairy owner's just gone missing. You've just got two guys in orange tracksuits talking into microphones. Yeah, sorry. We'll pay for their stuff, maybe. We'll just do that. It might be easier. Okay, this is live radio at its finest in a dairy.

Pitcher. Lucy, your next word is pitcher. Frame. Pitcher frame. All right, word number three. Adidas. Oh, I'm going to go with shoes, but I did think Korn because of the song.

Oh, the band Korn. That's right. They did a lot for Adidas track suits over the years, didn't they? Jonathan Davis and the team from Korn. Oh, good times, good times. I'm not quite picking up your reference, but that's okay. Record is your fourth word this morning.

Record, R-E-C-O-R-D, record. Oh, player. Player, okay. And the final word this morning, it's a fitting final word, dairy. Owner. I reckon you've got some pretty good words there, Lucy. You've got a fighting chance. Now, I don't know Quayshore.

No, that, yeah. I don't know what rattles around in that wonderful head of Quayshore's, but there we go. Kids have just grabbed some lollies, and now they're walking out the dairy. We haven't charged them for those. Do we need to? Did we just witness the most adorable snatch and grab?

They were there in their dressing gowns as well. They also got a skinny bucket hat on their way out as well. And Kishore's not here to charge anyway. Kishore, come on back in, my friend. Lucy did really well from Wellington. Now it's up to you, okay? You need to match five words with Lucy. She wins $5,000. By the

way, some kids just came in and shoplifted, but we'll just not focus on that. Alright, Kishore. The first word this morning we said to Lucy was pony. Mini pony. Or miniature ponies. Was it miniature? Oh, it was horse. She went with horse.

It's a hard game to play. It's a tough game to play. We'll rattle through the next four words. If you get one correct, I'll wander through the door and you'll hear the ding of the door, which will signal a correct answer. Okay, Kishore, next word was pitcher. Pretty pitcher. Pretty pitcher, unfortunately.

No, she said frame. The next word was adidas. Adidas sneakers. Oh, so close. It was shoes. The next word was record. Record player. Correct.

The ding-a-ding, you got it correct. And the final word was dairy. For shopping. For shopping. It was owner. So, well, thank you so much for playing, and thank you for having us here this morning. We really do appreciate it, Kishore.

Hey, sorry about that, Lucy. You can't all be winners. That's what they say, but you can go and have a productive day. Thank you, Jono, for those simple words. I can do that. Lucy, thank you so much for playing. We really do appreciate it.

Hopefully get another chance to do it sometime in the future. Thanks, team. It's been fun. Love you, Lucy. Thank you. Paid to talk words and stuff into a microphone. It's New Zealand's breakfast. Jono and Pam on the hits. Spy the What's Up by doco.nz.

Now, on a very sad note, it's with deep regret that I share the news that Juliette has lost her long-term love interest, Romeo. She can't find him. She keeps wandering around the office going, where for out there, Romeo? And we're like, well, just text him and stop talking like you're from the 1500s. But that doesn't matter

because her one true love is celebrity gossip and she's here with some spies. Thank you very much. Geez, that was a good one. I'm going in too deep. I was like, where is he going with this? Yeah, I pushed that one too far. Sorry.

I love your creativity, Jonathan. Now, Taika Waititi may have a new girlfriend and that is Rita Ora. So, she's in Sydney at the moment.

She's been, she was a judge on The Voice so she's been in Australia for the last wee while and she posted a photo, a series of photos on Instagram

and one of them was a photo of Taika Waititi with her, with his arms wrapped around her. And everyone's wondering, A, are they dating? And B, is she going to be making her Thor debut?

Because she's also been seen hanging out with Taika and Chris Hemsworth and the cast of Thor. So there are two rumors there that could or could not be true. Now, I'm looking here. Apparently, they've been secretly dating for a month. Oh, really? In secret. I love it.

The article I read over the weekend, he was on a private jet. I mean, how cool is this? And he's hanging out with Chris Hemsworth, Matt Damon, Idris Elba, Rita Ora. I mean, he's... He's living it up. You know?

Remember we used to do segments on our TV show? Well, boy, he wants to forget about that because he's hanging with some great people. I've actually got a photo of Taika Waititi in a very compromising position with my exhaust pipe. What? Your car. My car exhaust pipe. I used to have an old car from 1975

and he took a photo and sent it to me of him doing despicable things to my car exhaust pipe. Either way, congratulations to Taika Waititi, who's doing amazing things in Holland. And I'd like him to know I've still got that photo, and I can hang that over him.

But that's wonderful. That's good on him. Well done. And I can't wait to see that movie. A lot of pressure on that movie. Gosh. It's been in the news quite a lot, hasn't it? Secretly, over the weekend,

well, Russell Crowe was meant to be a bit of a secret, but I think he announced that he's going to be a character on the movie as well, Russell Crowe. So they've got so many amazing actors in the movie. That'll be good. That'll be good. And in other news, you may have seen break over the weekend. Caitlyn Jenner is officially running for the governor of California. She's not the first celebrity to run for the governor of California. Arnold Schwarzenegger was Governor from 2003 to 2011,

which was a pretty long stint. But people aren't really happy because she's a Republican and she's encouraged in the past the LGBT plus community to trust Donald Trump and his policies, but that didn't really turn out too well.

So they're not really sure how they can see the conservative policies that should bring be good for California, which is traditionally not very conservative. But she's officially running, and that's that. Yeah, and Arnold Schwarzenegger was the governor of California for many years too, wasn't he? Yeah. So, I mean, they're not adverse to having a celeb run the state, but it's a shambles. California as a state

is a shambles. What? Like it's got potholes all through the roads and stuff. Their homeless situation is out of this world. Right.

I tell you what, they've got a lot of work to do over there. And one of my favourite California memories was walking down the street and there was a guy wearing a t-shirt

and it said Kelly and Jono went up to him and he was like, what is it saying in a T-shirt, and it said Kelly. And Jono went up to him, and he was like, what is this Sony T-shirt, Kelly for NIA? What does NIA mean? And the guy went, oh, it's California. California. And then I was like, well, they shouldn't space the letters out because they confuse people.

What is NIA? I thought NIA was like some rifle, you know, gun law lobby group or something. It was a great moment. Anyway, humbling, humbling. And that is Spy. For more, you can head to thehits.co.nz. Real Kiwi blokes with soy lattes. Shona and Ben, breakfast on the hits.

Broadcasting this morning from a skinny dairy. We're just sitting outside the skinny dairy, been here this morning, giving the skinny dairy owner a day off today because, jeez, they work hard. Yeah, Kishore, he's up at 2.30 in the morning and then he's working the dairy till 7 at night. Crazy, him and his wife. So they're doing a wonderful job here

and now you're listening to a footpath radio show, I guarantee. The only show broadcasting to you from a suburban footpath this morning. As the train rolls by, look. Probably later. Okay. Next on the show, we've noticed an amazing collection of greeting cards inside the dairy.

So on 800thehats, if you've got an occasion, a birthday, a wedding, someone's leaving, whatever it is, give us a call next and we'll find the greeting card for you on our 100 of the Hits. We'll buy it and we'll give it away for you. That is a great idea. They have got a card for every occasion in there. Slightly dusty cards too. Because the dairy's not a place you run to for a card, is it? No, but we've got some amazing cards.

So you can give us a call. Every caller will win a greeting card very shortly on our 100 of the Hits. But speaking of greetings, I don't know if you know this. Your phone. Now, I rang you over the weekend, Jono, and you didn't answer your phone, which is fine. You're probably screening my call. It's very unusual. Do you know what it is?

Oh, no. No. It's not often you phone yourself. So you had a message at one stage. I think it was your son, Oscar, for many years saying, you've reached Jono's phone. Leave a message. But now, we'll have a listen. We'll try and call the phone. Can we call Jono's phone right now and then Jono now, we'll have a listen. We'll try and call the phone.

Can we call Jono's phone right now and then don't answer and go through the message? Yeah, okay, hold on. Okay, here we go. Would I really blow you a bit if I answered the phone now? Yeah, please don't. Okay, yeah. How about you hang up on it so I go straight to the message?

Add the tone, record your message. Well, there's just like one breath, isn't there? Very breathy, like... It's like a couple of breaths

and then a message. No words, very mysterious. It sounds like someone trying to avoid the police, doesn't it? I see what you mean.

Like, I thought when I rang you on the weekend, I thought, oh, he's either running or he's in the middle of something. Not missing anything. And accidentally recorded a voicemail. I thought maybe you'd he's either running or he's in the middle of something. Not missing anything. And accidentally

recorded a voicemail. I thought maybe he'd answered and it was like, and then you were going to talk to me, but then I went, bing, to the message. What's going on? I don't know. I think I must have gone to record a voicemail message. Very wheezy. And then got easily distracted.

Boomer. Hey, Juliet, back in the cheap seats in the studio, mate. You're welcome. It does sound like I've got something to hide, but in the same breath, it sends a clear message.

No message sends a clear message that this is a phone owner who is probably not going to clear your voicemails. What's true. So don't bother. He hasn't even bothered to put a message on the phone.

He's not going to clear yours. I like it because it really catches you by surprise. It does. You're like, oh, is he? I don't. He's not. Oh, no. It's a message.

I tell you what. I'll let you overnight design a new voicemail for me. A script. You can script one up for me. And I'll voice it tomorrow. We'll play it on the show. Oh, I could not. That'd be fun.

Just enjoy my evening. But okay. A little mini story arc. Okay. All right. Jono's message. Two beats. I've just added to your little piece here, mate.

My little piece. Bit of an extension. All right, we'll find out what Jono's new message is going to be tomorrow. I really didn't want to get involved in this, but anyway. But next, if you want a greeting card. You started the conversation. Yeah, I know, but I didn't want to be here. I didn't know.

Anyway. Broadcasting live. And mostly awake. Jono and Ben. New Zealand's breakfast. On the hits. We're broadcasting this morning literally outside a skinny dairy. There are 50 skinny dairies around New Zealand.

They work really, really hard. So we're giving the skinny dairy owner the day off today, broadcasting outside the skinny dairy in Mount Albert. We noticed here at the dairy, amazing selection of greeting cards. There's a whole shelf we've got in front of us. Lester, there's a lady taking... The lady in the Nissan, are you listening to the show right now? Yeah.

Hello. She's driving a zero emission Nissan. She loves the environment and loves two radio hosts dressed in orange sitting on a footpath outside a dairy. It's funny when people walk past, they look at you like charity workers. Yeah, it looks like we're selling something or like a bake sale or something.

But we're not. At the moment, we're giving away. We're going to buy some greeting cards here from the dairy. You just give us a call. Oh, Andrew, the hits. You tell us the occasion. We'll find a greeting card for you. Producer Juliette, let's start off with you.

Have you got an occasion you'd like a greeting card for? Yes, perfectly. Maybe it's your husband's birthday. Yes, my husband, Harry Styles. Happy birthday to Harry. No, my sister is leaving to go back to the UK. So a departure card of some sort. Farewell?

There's a farewell section, Jono? There is a farewell section. Are you sorry she's leaving? Yes. Sorry you are leaving? Sorry you are leaving, yes. That's a good one. Sorry you are leaving with a little mouse, a little cartoon mouse, for no reason, holding a four-leaf clover.

That's cute. I guess it's good luck from a mouse. What's the same sign? Oh, you're wishing her the best of luck on your new adventure. Oh, okay. Do you like that one? Yeah, that's quite cute. You should like a mouse.

Are they on a new adventure? Oh, not really. Okay. That'll do. Well, you can twink that bit out. We'll twink out the new adventure. That sounds wonderful. Good luck on your new adventure.

Okay. Here's one here I like too. If it's your husband's birthday today, it's an animated card with a guy looking like from maybe the 1980s doing a workout in the gym working on his triceps there. I think it's an upright row? Yeah, an upright row and he's surrounded by weights and weight belts and it just says

but no, the card just says happy birthday, sending you lots of wishes but no reference to why this random guy in tight, tight shorts and a singlet is doing a workout. Yeah, they could have, you pulled your weight around the house or, yeah, I hope your birthday works out or something, you know? Anyway, we'll go to Kayla.

What's the celebration? Good morning to you. What's the celebration, Kayla? Kayla. Kayla's gone. We'll go to Mike. You're on the air. Welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast.

Mike, what card do you want? Oh, yeah, either a considerationiserations one or a happy anniversary because it's my wedding anniversary. So, yeah. Ooh, wedding anniversary. Is the commiserations for the wedding anniversary as well? Anyway, let's not get into that. Let's find a wedding anniversary.

What have you got, John? Oh, yeah, I've got one here. Well, this is in the wedding anniversary category on the card, with deepest sympathy. That works? Sending you special thoughts at this time of sorrow. For how many years together? Okay, well, there you go.

You've got that card. With deepest sympathy. We'll go to Sharon. You're on the air. Welcome to the show, Sharon. What's the event? We'll try and find an appropriate card. Mother and father-in-law's 55th wedding anniversary

and my mother-in-law's 76th birthday. We've got a birthday card and a wedding anniversary. It's your mother-in-law's birthday, but I do have for you a beautiful rose on a card that says happy birthday Birthday, Daughter. Well, that's not quite hitting the mark. It's wonderful having a daughter, especially a daughter like you, is the message on the inside.

So, I mean, that's the closest thing I can do for a birthday one. And we're after a wedding anniversary, are we? Yeah, 55th. A wedding anniversary. Oh, you've got a happy anniversary down to the bottom left. Bottom one, see, bottom left. Oh, yeah, there we go. Oh, congratulations on your wedding anniversary. Oh, here we go, anniversary down to the bottom left. Bottom one, see it? Bottom left. Oh, yeah, there we go. Oh, congratulations on your wedding anniversary.

Oh, here we go. A saucy bottle of champagne and a couple of champagne flutes quarter full. Very seductive photo there, isn't it? What does it say on the inside there, Ben? May your love be the key that opens the door to a lifetime of happiness. Oh, that is a wonderful card. Do you like that one? Yeah, that's awesome.

I found the pause didn't really reflect you liking it that much, but there you go. And here's one for you, Ben. It's a farewell card, which that will make a lot of sense by Friday, okay? All right, okay. There's a meeting. Well, it's been great working with you.

Keep in touch. Yeah, just keep in touch, yeah. Well, we'll keep in touch. I think management will be getting in touch after the program, okay? Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime. Just search Jono and Ben on Facebook. Broadcasting this morning from a skinny dairy.

There are 50 of them around the country, and we thought we'd give one hardworking dairy owner a day off. Yeah, and the skinny dairy just got skinnier with Ben Boyce sitting outside it. Who would have thought? And, Kishore, thank you so much for having us at your dairy, and thank you for letting us both host a radio show and run the dairy at the same time. We've done an average job of two jobs this morning, Kishore. You've done well, just like me.

Yeah, it's been great hanging out here. You've got an amazing variety of stuff. It's been so impressive to see what's inside. We have loved the cards, the greeting cards the most. Yeah. It's like a tiny little supermarket without all the frills. You don't want that, and you've cast your net wide and far with all the products that you stock, Kishore. But what we want to do, the lovely people at Skinny have given us a Samsung S21 5G, 256 gigabytes.

That's almost too many gigabytes. Oh, a phone. It's a phone valued at $1,500, $1,499. Kishore, they're giving this to you. Plus a skinny card as well. They're giving this to you to give to your favourite customer. Sorry, I said it like we're giving that to you. It's to give to your favourite customer.

So a skinny SIM card as well as that amazing phone that John had just said before, thanks to skinny. Do you have anyone in mind that we could give it to? Yes, we've got a lovely customer across the crossroad from us, Hamish and Family. Hamish and Family. Yeah, they come in quite often. I think the kids came across before, is that right? Yes, they did.

The Hamish and Family residents, let's just see if they're listening to the hits. Let's do this game. They've got 30 seconds to get across the road right now, otherwise the phone's going to the next caller. Okay. Let's start. We've got a timer, get across the road right now, otherwise the phone's going to the next caller. Oh, okay. Let's start the timer, Producer Juliet. We sure do, ready? Yeah, start the timer. Hamish and family,

they've got a nice little brick and tile jobby across the road there. I'd say it's a three bed. It looks like some wonderful indoor-outdoor flow. There is movement. There's kids running. Oh, here they go, straight across the pedestrian crossing. They're here. I don't see Hamish, but I see Anne Family. Hello. Hamish, Anne Family.

What's your name? My name is Holly. Holly. You should change your name to Samsung S21 5G 256 gigabyte. You've won a phone. No. Oh, my gosh. Wow.

Thank you so much. That is amazing. We went phone shopping yesterday, but we couldn't find a good deal, so we didn't get one. Oh, there you go. No better deal than free. Yeah, it was a great bargain today. Thank you so much.

That phone's valued at $1,500. So there you go. The Samsung S21 5G is all yours. Thanks to Skinny. And thanks, of course, to the Skinny Dairy for being such a loyal customer. Oh, and thank you for being the most amazing dairy. We always love coming over to buy milk. Milk and lollies for the kids.

Yeah, milk and lollies for the kids. Milk and lollies. Do you want a greeting? We've got a greeting card here as well. Yeah, we do. Is there a thank you card

for Keisha? Have you got, we've got a friend whose mum passed away. Have you got any inspiration? Oh, yes. We've got a sort of

thinking of you in your time of grief. There you go. Add these two men together and somehow you get three quarters worth of a normal man. The Hits with Jono and Ben for breakfast. Bit of a different show this morning. Yeah, coming to you from the Esquith Skinny Dairy, a suburban dairy.

We're inside at the moment and amongst the cards and the corn chips right now. And wonderful Keisha was hosting us here this morning and probably wondering why. He's probably questioning himself, why have I let these two loud barking people into my shop? But thank you so much, Kishore. We appreciate it. Such a wide variety of stuff in here. Everything from paper clips, you've got water balloons, you've got all your standard stuff, you've got cleaning products. There is everything here inside the stereo. Yeah, he's got a lot of everything, but not a lot of one thing.

Well, that's the thing. That's why you popped down to the dairy, right? Yeah, it covers all bases, the dairy. Anyway, we're going to be giving away some items from this dairy too, which we're running today, giving Kishore the day off. Hard-working dairy owner he is. But over the weekend, we had a lovely weekend, didn't we? We went to Tauranga, Ben.

Yeah, and we experienced a bit of a unique sport for our new TV show and you wanted to play a game that I don't think has ever been played on radio before. No, this is called The Secretish Sound. Yeah. Okay. Have they done this before where they've had a sound and they don't tell you what it is for a number of weeks? Not to the best of my knowledge.

No. No, this is a radio first right now. So, Producer Juliette back in the studio. Hello. I'd like you to listen to this audio. No, no. This is a radio first right now. So, Producer Juliet, back in the studio. Hello. I'd like you to listen to this audio. Okay. And try and figure out what we were doing on Saturday.

Okay. Oh, dear God. Now, they're not mosquitoes on steroids. I was going to say, they sound like mosquitoes or like mini little racing cars going around a mini track. Yeah. Oh, now they're not mosquitoes on steroids. I was going to say, they sound like mosquitoes or like mini little racing cars going around a mini track. Yeah. Oh, my gosh.

Did I get it right? You did get it right. My next guess was drones because drones sound like mosquitoes in the air as well. Yeah, like angry bees. It sounded like we kicked over a beehive. But they were little arsey cars. Oh, wow. And they were awesome.

They were powered by nuclear waste or something, weren't they? No, I don't think that was quite the case. But geez, they were fun. They were little arsey cars. Oh, wow. And they were awesome. They were powered by nuclear waste or something, weren't they? No, I don't think that was quite the case. But, geez, they were fun. They were so fast. It was like watching a tiny little version of Formula One. And when they'd go past your neck, you know, you'd keep turning your head because your neck's following the cars. I had to book an chiropractor appointment afterwards.

We like to imagine there was like a little Stuart Little, like, driving each of the little cars inside, like the animated movie. Because, yeah, they were really cute. But cute but geez they'd go fast yeah it was and it was in this forest which is halfway between Rotorua and Tauranga in the middle of nowhere like even google maps is like I don't know you got me beat I don't know where you are find your own way no cell phone coverage and they've got this whole little remote control car racing track surrounded by forest. Yeah, it's beautiful, actually.

Yeah, and the whole family comes along, don't they? Oh, there was one little seven-year-old boy, Dylan, who was beating most of the adults. Oh, someone's come in the dairy. Hello, welcome to the Ask We Theory. Hello, how are you doing? Good morning. Hello, we are low-rent celebrities, Jono and Ben, and our careers have come to this, that's right.

But that was fun. It was a fun weekend, wasn't it? And we had a go. And it was really hard operating a remote control vehicle. I was swerving all over like my Nana. You broke one. Yeah, I got out there and I broke one. I went too hard, too early.

And it stopped working after it rammed into a wall. And you know when it's someone else's car and you're like, sorry, sorry, is everything okay? Hoping they would go, you know, it's all good. But they just went, ah, no, and ran off in a panic. You're like, ooh, I think it's actually bad. The good thing was the car was only worth $2,500. I know, that's the thing, $2,500.

Anyway. A lot of fun, and you can catch that later on in the year on TVNZ2 when our show comes. Good sports. Don't know when it's going to be on TV, but I can't wait for it to be on TV. Well, thank you for that vague tease, Ben. You can catch that later on in the year. Okay, I'll be waiting.

I'm not going to do anything until that comes on. Just keep it on TVNZ2 until then. And then you'll know. When it's on, you'll know. 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. We'll do this, the A to Z of New Zealand.

The A to Z of New Zealand. They're phoning every town and city in Aotearoa, making friends along the way, aren't we? Apart from that one time when we made an enemy, and that was awkward. Ben disrespected the man's honour and offended his family, and now the mafia have a hit out on him, but we won't linger on that. Today we're heading to Matata, which is a beautiful 20-minute drive along the coast from Whakatane. Matata claims to have a first-class fish and chips,

first-class barista, and right now a second-class Jono and Ben on the phone with Beck, who runs the campground. How are you? Hi, how are you? Lovely to have you on. Near Whakatane in Matata? Yes, that's right. We're about 25 minutes

to the northern side of Whakatane, the Tocantins side. Hey, if you could stop swearing. Well, someone's phone beeps somewhere there. Someone's phone beeps. Someone's chucking blasts for me early in the morning. Someone's censoring themselves.

You've got to pronounce it right. Now, how long have you lived there? We were living in Melbourne for 10 years, my husband and I and our son. And my parents had owned the camp, my grandparents prior to that. Mum and Dad wanted to retire, so we moved back about coming up six years ago. Oh, lovely. What's there to do there if we were going to come along and visit for the weekend? Oh, look, it's pretty chilled.

It's a lot of fishing, chilling out. It's a family-friendly camp, big long beach, relaxing, chilling, reading books, hanging out, swimming, fishing. And the local catchphrase apparently is hakuna matata. Well, yeah, maybe for some. It is pretty relaxed. No worries. That's what's saying, no worries. Actually, did you make that up? No, I'm reading here

on the things to do in Matata. Yeah, I don't say it, but I'm sure some do. You're not sold on it. Why aren't you sold on the Lion King reference? Because it's a take-off from the Lion King. Fair enough. You need your own thing, your own identity,

don't you? Do you roll onto the beach or are you a campground that sort of segues from the front lawn to the beach, beachfront? Yeah, right on the beach, yep.

Oh my God. No journey, straight from your site to the sand. Just unadulterated beach access. Yeah, we've got a kilometre of beachfront

right outside the camp. That's beautiful. It stretches beyond that, but we stretch for a K. Well, what a place to live. You're living the dream. You've gone from Melbourne to the campsite.

That's awesome. Melbourne to Matata. Yeah, beautiful. And as they say... No, I mean, it's family. You know, it's been in the family for ages and we used to come here

every holidays as kids and the same kids come year upon year and you have your campmates and yeah. Isn't that special? Over New Year's, because you remember that as a kid, the friendships that you make on holiday?

Yeah, that's it. Yeah, it's wonderful. And, you know, the kids run off and they disappear for 12 hours and the parents kind of stumble around at an appropriate level of intoxication throughout the afternoon. But the kids all make friends with the other kids, which is kind of cool, isn't it? Yeah.

At the campsite. Yeah, that's right. It is. It's great for that. Bec, it's been wonderful talking to you. And as they say in Matata, hakuna matata. Thank you very much.

As Bec does not say, but some people do. Lovely talking to you. Have a great day. See you, Bec. See you, bye. To everyone pulling a sickie today, you're not fooling anyone.

Jono and Ben, breakfast on the hits. Scrolling through your feed. He's like a deep sea fisherman, trawling the ocean of topicality, looking for mildly interesting news stories to talk about. His controversial fishing tactics are going to be exposed on a Netflix documentary at some stage. I proudly present to you, the fisherman himself, Benjamin Boyce. Now, if you're waking up this morning and maybe you're feeling a little bit tired,

it may be the weekend or it may be to do with your sleep cycle. Now, I was just reading this. I found this quite interesting. There's a guy in Britain who's a doctor who reckons that he deals with a lot of people who have sleeping problems. He reckons that everyone has a 90-minute sleep cycle, and if you wake up at the end of 90 minutes, you feel the best. So you need to kind of work out when you want to wake up and then go back in blocks of 90 minutes. So theoretically, you'd feel better, according to him, after six hours sleep as opposed to

eight hours sleep, because eight hours is not part of a 90-minute sleep cycle, if you get my drift. I do get your drift. So maybe seven and a half hours is obviously better for your sleep cycle. That's what he reckons. There's someone else, another Australian lady who's a sleepy expert saying, no, no, everyone's got different... Oh, this is what they do, these bloody journalists.

They get one person who's like, I've got this great new code they've cracked, and then they find someone else to negate it. Who disagrees with it. Well, where are we? Yeah. I'm confused. Yeah, but I thought it was quite interesting.

So he reckons 90-minute blocks, you go through a light sleeping cycle within that 90 minutes, then you get heavy sleep, and then you go light again towards 90 minutes, and that's when you should be waking up, so you're less groggy and out to it when you wake up. Now, Producer Alan, who's here with us at the moment, filling in for Producer Bee Humps,

he's had a child. You got stitched up by the iPhone sleep app last week, didn't you? Not once, but twice, yeah. What happened there? Oh, I set the alarm to go off at 4.20 in the morning. Of course. And it kept resetting my sleep cycle to a quarter past six in the morning. Is that when you usually wake up?

Yeah, yeah, usually. So it's like, uh-uh-uh, Alan, you don't get up at 4.20. Yeah, so here I am trying to make an impression on you guys, and I'm late twice in my wake. How great is that? Listen, don't worry. Have you heard this show, mate? Don't worry.

Sometimes it's best to sleep in and miss it. I wish we could do the same. Now, we're at Keyshore's Dairy, the Asquith Dairy here. It's in Mount Albert. It's a skinny dairy. There's 50 of them around the country. If you want to come down to Mount Albert, that's where we're going to be hanging out this morning. Yeah, if you want to come and hang in a dairy.

Oh, we're going to be giving some items away. We've bought some items, everything orange. We're going to be giving that away at some stage. Now, what I appreciate about Kishore is that not one moment... Is that your phone? You can answer that, mate. Who's that, Kishore? Take that call. At not one moment in this whole show has Kishore left behind the counter. He does not leave his

post. He does not leave his post to the point where we've handed him a microphone and he's going to... Oh, sorry. He's just going to... We were going to talk to him about some confectionery news that broke over the weekend. Now, pods, the popular confectionery, it's going to be discontinued. The old Mars pods.

Yeah, so if you're a fan of Snickers or Mars-flavored pods, they've sort of got a crunchy outside and a gooey morsel, as it's described online. I love gooey morsels. Well, it's going to be whipped off the shelves. So no longer will you be able to get pods. Is there pods in the dairy here this week? No, I said this is what I wanted to talk to Keshaw about, but he's on the phone. Who's on the phone, Keshaw?

Well, work. You keep talking to work. Now, Juliet, producer Juliet, you were saying during the song that pods were your life. Do you wear pods? Yes. Like, when I would come home from school as a child in primary school, I would just neck back a whole packet in front of TV, watching TV. It was my afternoon snack.

This is going to be one of those things that everyone's going to be outraged that they're going, but I can't remember the last time I bought a bag of pods, so I'm probably part of the problem. I was just saying, as well as multitasking on a phone call, they've all sold out. They've actually sold out in the dairy because of the rush, because people know they're going. You got no pods, Keshore? No pods left, I'm afraid.

There you go. All right, there we go. Were they big sellers, mate? When the school's on. When the school's on, they're big sellers. Why do you think they're discontinuing them? I didn't know they were discontinuing them. That's it, mate.

They're done. Apparently, you might not be able to get any more in. I'm sure we'll find something from somewhere. Okay. Well, if you want some black market pods, Kishore's going to buy some from the dark web, and he'll be selling those at the Asquith Dairy for triple the price. Plenty more winning taking place this morning,

hanging out and a lot of fun at the Skiddy Dairy in Mount Albert. I never thought I'd have so much fun broadcasting the Dairy it's fun there's just so much great stuff here I reckon we should do Dairy Day once a month

we apologise in advance sorry about that sorry about him sorry to rope you into this sorry you've been dragged into this Jono and Pen

breakfast on the heads the heads the heads Jono's doing some social media so he's thrusting the phone into my face so yeah you can catch that on the hits breakfast right now there's some hot fire content right there Go ahead. Jono's doing some social media, so he's thrusting the phone into my face.

So, yeah, you can catch that on The Hits Breakfast right now. Some hot fire content right there. There's two. Some spy entertainment news. Spy. The WhatsApp spy.co.nz. Yeah, she's like a hungry hawk soaring through the skies, looking for a celebrity carcass to swoop down on and have a little nibble on their public misery.

Julie, what's happening in the entertainment news? This is our... So yesterday the Oscars were on and it was your classic COVID ceremony, kind of like all the others. Although most people were in the same area. Most people were in LA for it. Although they had to cap the audience at 170. People had to wear masks backstage, but they didn't have to wear them on stage, which kind of, you know, contradicts the COVID rules.

I feel sorry for the Queen. She had to cap her event at 30. I know. The Oscars get 170. That's a good... They had different bubbles everywhere though, right? There was like one in, oh, a couple in LA. There was one in New York.

There was one in Paris. There was one in Sydney. So I think the different actors were at various bubbles around the world. And they had to sort of rotate for the people who were in LA because a lot more people were in LA. They had, like, a rotating system of, like, people sitting down and then, nope, okay, now a new bubble comes here while the old bubble moves on.

It was kind of, they spent a third of the budget on COVID protocols. But it was, people were not happy with how it ended. So basically, traditionally with the Oscars, Best Picture is the final award that they give out. But this year, they decided to have Best Actor as the final award to announce. And people were like, oh, they're putting Best Actor last because this is because Chadwick Boseman

will probably win posthumously for his performance in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. Now, they announced Best Picture, then Best Actor came along, and Chadwick Boseman didn't win. And the Academy Award for Actor goes to Anthony Hopkins, The Father. So Anthony Hopkins won, and kind of everyone was pretty disappointed by that because of the anticipation. It's good to see an old white guy finally winning something. Well, I guess, you know, people were like, well, what's the story behind that?

Just explain for them in case they've missed the sad story about Chadwick Bosman. Yeah, so Chadwick Bosman, he passed away from cancer last year, and he's won a lot of awards posthumously after his death. And the Oscars is obviously the biggest one. And because he'd won so many other awards, they kind of assumed that he would be winning this one. And he didn't. So everyone was like, well, this is the only chance that he could get to win Best Actor at the Oscars. So it was quite disappointing. And people were like, this is the worst TV ending since Game of Thrones, the disappointment

of Game of Thrones. Well, Denzel Washington paid for Chadwick Boseman's acting tuition. Yeah, he did. Yeah, yeah. He did. But Anthony Hopkins, he's now the oldest person to win Best Actor. He's 83 years old. And the last time he won Best Actor

was in 1992 for his performance in Silence of the Lambs which was a very good film as well. Do you know with the Oscars I mean obviously really sad that Chadwick didn't win but also like in general I love movies I watch a lot of movies but to be honest

I'd heard of one of the nominees for Best Picture. I know. But gone are the days where it was like Titanic and Lord of the Rings and stuff. You're like the big blockbusters that you particularly would know. I was like, I didn't know any of these movies.

Well, no, that's only because you watch movies starring Dwayne The Rock Johnson. Now, I hate to break this to you, but Dwayne The Rock Johnson is never going to win an Academy Award. So the longer you keep watching Dwayne The Rock Johnson's movies, the more you're not

going to know about the nominated Oscar. That's probably true. But they always talk about, oh, the decline in the Oscars ratings. That's because no one's heard of half the movies that are there. You make a very good point. You mentioned last week, Ben. I'm sure they're amazing movies. I'm sure they're all incredible movies.

And if I had watched them, I'd go, oh, they're incredible. And I'm sure the performance is amazing. So take nothing away from the people nominated for the movies. But you're like, they're not the mainstream movies that sometimes you would have heard of maybe 10, 15 years ago. No, well, they're catered for a better class of cinematic moviegoer. Yeah, aren't they? Because you're right, Dwayne The Rock Johnson's not there,

and he should be there. But there was no time limit on the speeches as well. So they were like, how do we make a boring ceremony even more boring? Just make the speeches roll on for a little longer. And also the musical director said that he was banned this year from cutting people's speeches short. So you know how in the past, like, they'll dim the lights and cut off the microphones if people are speaking for too long? He was completely banned from doing that this year. And he was kind of annoyed by it because, you know, a musical director is probably very timely.

And yeah, that was a new thing this year. I love it when they have to panic rush the rest of their thank yous over that music. The microphone gets muted. Yeah. Like, shut up, mate. Time is over. I know. And that was this year's Oscars.
