Hey, kia ora, welcome, this is the Jono and Ben podcast brought to you by Challenge Petrol Service Stations
here with Ben Boyce and producer Joel Harrison as well, fresh off a show, you can sort of feel the heat, the steam, can't you?
of another show cooked up in the kitchen this morning.
Taka Waititi, I was just reading before, got a tattoo of an R on his wrist, he said it was for rugby as a gag
but obviously it was
for Rita. Yeah, I'd imagine
so. Or Rees Darby.
I mean, you know, big fan.
The Mataka Rangers.
What else is there?
Joel's mouthing something.
I said ring for the $500,000
ring that he bought for Rita. Some of the comments are
quite funny as well because he put I love rugby
with the R tattoo and then Ruby Toohey, obviously legendary Black of the comments are quite funny as well because he put I love rugby with the tattoo and then
Ruby Tui, obviously legendary Black Fern.
She said me too as well.
Diplo got involved. He said
it's a great game.
Diplo DJ. And then
the official All Blacks account
replied back going agreed.
Back to Diplo as well.
It's all going on. Kate Beckenstall.
She went oh with love hearts as well.
Yeah, so they're all getting involved
in Taika's comment section,
aren't they?
Yeah, good.
All up in the grill.
Yeah.
Imagine the DMs he gets, mate.
Oh, he wouldn't be checking them, mate.
The people sliding into his DMs.
I thought that could be,
and that could be something
we could do on the podcast intro
is we pick some people
and we DM them from time to time on the and
that's where maybe we'll pick a new person every day on the hits breakfast and we ever see if one
of these celebrity people would ever dm us something right and they might not but but you
know like i went to eliza the american comedian the other night uh who we talked to on the radio
but doesn't follow me and i i even put you know like i put a picture at the end of it saying she
was great not expecting her to see it and she replied back thanks ben exclamation mark she you
know and it doesn't follow me or anything like but she's obviously someone that so celebrities do
they check it they go for it well we spoke to all the time but some people do we spoke to pink the
other day and she did a heartfelt message for former prime minister jacinda ardern and people
were giving her death threats online.
She read those.
Yeah.
What a world we live in where you can just, you know,
you can abuse and threaten your favourite celebrities
just from the comfort of your own...
Do you want to pick a celebrity?
Let's pick one now for day one
and then we'll send them a message
and then we'll see if they reply back.
They probably won't because they won't.
There'll be millions.
King Charles.
What about someone that's New Zealand?
Like a topical one, maybe like an Ed Sheeran
or a Jason Momoa or a...
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, that's a good producer job.
Okay, Jason Momoa.
I think Ed Sheeran might be a little bit out of reach.
What can we say to Jason Momoa?
What about Maisie Peters?
Well, we had her on the podcast.
She was great.
Yeah, Maisie was good.
We can have
Jason

He's pushed the arrow
Definitely on there
So there we go
So there's our first one.
Have you seen those videos on YouTube and stuff?
It's like, I DMed 100 celebrities.
How many replied?
And they DMed 100 quite big celebrities.
I think they also have a blue tick as well, most of them who do.
So you go through to their actual request or to the actual DMs, I think,
and you get a blue tick.
But yeah, that's a social experiment.
Do they get back?
What's the hit rate?
It's like three out of a hundred sometimes.
But they're quite, like sometimes big celebrities
who you wouldn't think would reply.
To be fair, not even big celebrities.
You messaged me as a final year of school as a kid.
No reply.
Five years later, I got that message.
Was it left unseen?
No, I didn't see it.
I just didn't even look at my DMs
I'm a shocker for that
it was sort of like that
because I did DM
a lot of people
asking to send a video
someone got back to you right?
Bo Ryan
the NRL Australian player
he did
and someone else
Bo Ryan your host
of the Amazing Race Australia
at the moment
yeah yeah yeah
on the footy show as well
do you know
we had a lovely
lovely moment with him
and I want to share this
because you know
people do things that
he didn't know who we were we saw him in a hotel remember that we're in like we're all work
overseas in america and we saw the lift doors were closing and he was at the same hotel and i just
saw i was a big fan of him the footy show i was like hey bo ryan we're in america and i was like
hey bo ryan love your work and he was like oh thanks mate the door's closed and i was like oh
you know never see him again.
We were sitting in the bar, you and me later, Jono.
And then two beers came over and we're like, oh, we didn't order these.
And the lady said, that guy over there, he got them for you.
And then he came on over, Bo Ryan, and paid for two beers for us.
Came on over and said, hey, can you guys transfer that 20 bucks for two beers?
No, yeah.
That's what a lovely guy.
It was a lovely thing.
Had a little bit of a chat.
Didn't know who we were or whatever.
Yeah, we had a good chat with him, actually.
It was actually really cool.
It was like, oh.
So not going, oh, these guys are on radio or anything like that or TV.
He was just doing it because someone was a fan.
So that was really lovely.
Yeah.
I wouldn't do that for someone.
I'm sorry to still say cheers.
You'd take the compliment, but you're not giving them anything in return.
I might come over and go, hey, that was really lovely what you said.
It made my day.
And they're looking at you like, is he going to buy some calamari?
Is he going to get aioli and chips?
Or enjoy your night, you mad bastard.
Hey, mate, take these two.
The bartender comes over with two waters.
Say, hey, on the house.
On the house from me, Ben Boyce.
We didn't order these waters.
Round of waters.
Round of waters.
That's what I do, guys.
Let's give them some napkins.
All right.

Very exciting news
Yesterday Pink announcing
She's coming back
Next year to New Zealand
Dunedin and also
Eden Park in Auckland
Two massive concerts
As well as
Bringing out a huge album
Trustful at the moment
And we were honoured
To catch up with her yesterday
Now you know
Obviously you have kids.
Taking kids on tour, is it a nightmare?
Oh, absolutely.
It's a bad idea.
I love it though.
Do they get their own room backstage?
My daughter actually works quick change for the dancers.
Oh, really?
And we were actually discussing minimum wage this morning.
And my son, like I used to have like whiskey in my dressing room and now I have ball pits.
Things have changed.
It must be hard to balance, you know, touring life and being a mom.
It's impossible, but I love it.
I love it.
And I like having a touring family and days off are great.
And we get to see the world and they're good kids and yeah we have fun we're
goofy we just roller skate in the house and it's fun and it's great when carrie goes to south
canterbury and does motocross yes do you do you have your kids still do they still think you're
cool my six-year-old said to my best friend the other day, he goes, do you know that my mom is the best singer in the whole world?
And she goes, I do.
And he goes, do you know that she performs to a hundred people?
That's a lot of people.
We're going to work on that math.
Hopefully you get more tickets when you come to New Zealand.
What's the craziest thing that's ever happened at a Pink concert?
Because I read someone gave birth.
Oh, I'm sure tons of people have given birth.
I had to break up a fight between two moms
because the four-year-old was screaming
and crying on the ground.
Oh, really?
At the show.
At the show, yep.
I had this poor girl sitting on my lap
until the moms could get it together
and wipe up the blood.
I told the crowd, I told Philly,
I'm like, and you guys wonder why I'm like this.
This is where I'm from.
Yeah, my wife, Amanda, she dines out on the fact that when you when you came to new zealand she
loves you it got quiet at one moment she yelled out i love you pink and you said i love you too
and now every time we hear a song she's like pink she loves me she tells the story all the time i'm
like mate she doesn't even know who you are it felt like an obligation from you where you had to
say i love you back doesn't it because you've done over 70 songs, and I imagine they're like children, but also like children.
Everyone's got a favorite and a least favorite.
Do you have one favorite song out of the whole catalog?
The whole thing?
Yeah, big question.
No, I can't.
I don't know.
What did I even write?
I will always love Get the Party Started.
It's not my favorite, but I will always love it.
I never get sick of it.
Is there one you do get sick of?
Oh, yeah.
Don't let me get me.
You and your hand.
Raise your glass.
Oh, that's a lot.
That's like fire.
Most of your back catalog.
So, Pink, very enthusiastic about these upcoming shows.
Pink, you are so awesome. As we said love uh we love you here in new zealand we can't wait for you to come back we
love the new album trustful and the singles as well uh so hopefully we'll hang out do some
motocross or something when you're in new zealand do it barefoot moto let's do it see you mate
thank you that is pink coming to new zealand And we've got a double pass to give away.
4487.
We want to give it away to one of the biggest Pink fans in the country.
So if you're a big fan, you could be winning that before seven on the hit.
The hits.
The Jono and Ben podcast.
Heading into the weekend, of course, bigger tropical cyclone coming our way,
which is very, very scary.
Philip Duncan from weatherwatch.co.nz is going to be joining us next
to tell us about that.
So hopefully that isn't as bad as they're all predicting
and that doesn't ruin too many people's weekends.
But hopefully, we are hoping that it has got some sort of weight behind it
or else there's no point in talking to Phil Duncan from Weatherwatch.
Well, we'll find out.
We'll find out.
I'd love him to come on and go, don't worry about it,
but I don't know if that's the case.
That would be the best news ever.
Now we are putting you against each other with a bit of healthy
and not so healthy competition.
I bring the not so healthy part of the competition.
Who's having the best weekend?
Let's kick it off this morning with Kerri-Ann in Auckland.
You're on, Morena.
How are we?
How are we?
We couldn't be better, Kerri-Ann, on a Friday yourself.
Really?
No good, no good.
No good.
You're no good.
What's going on this weekend?
Yeah, what's happening this weekend?
Why are you having the best weekend?
Oh, well, we came to Ed Sheeran tonight.
Oh, nice.
Awesome.
Always good.
And then we're going house hunting, me and my partner,
but we're thinking about signing a house this weekend,
so that's pretty exciting.
Oh, Ed Sheeran in a house.
Hopefully you catch a house,
because what's it like out there in the market?
Oh, pretty average, I've got to say.
It's meant to be a buyer's market, I hear them say,
but I don't think anyone's got any money.
It's meant to be the buyers.
To be the buyers, yeah.
Well, they do say halfway through the year
is apparently the time to buy.
When everyone goes, well, I can't pay this for the rest of my life
and walk out of their house.
But Carrie-Anne, okay, each year in house hunting, good combo.
Lisa, we'll get you on.
Best weekend, what's going on?
Hi, how are you?
Yeah, good.
We're doing well.
What are you doing this weekend, Lisa?
It's going to be a busy weekend, but it's all gravy in the Navy where I am.
All gravy in the Navy.
You almost won us over with using the show catchphrase.
What's happening tonight, Lise?
So I've got a friend's roof shout tonight.
So I've started off work, you know, into it, having a couple of drinks,
celebrating their new little house.
Oh, that's lovely.
Is the roof on?
No, the roof is on.
The roof is on before the storm.
Yeah.
Hopefully it doesn't get blown away in the cyclone.
Yeah, well, we hope not.
We hope not.
So it's going to be a good test for it, for sure.
And you're doing a volunteer course, we understand,
our producer Pumphrey says.
Yeah, yeah.
So tomorrow morning I'll be heading over to the shore
to do some volunteer training for FIFA World Cup,
which is coming up in July.
But we've got the playoffs coming up in the next week or so.
Oh, that's pretty cool.
Yeah, so really looking forward to that big volunteering stunt.
You get to meet a lot of people and really cool people.
Good on you, Lisa.
All right, what a great person you are.
Yeah, sounds like a great weekend.
Should we take one more real quickly, Jono?
Yeah, let's get Lindsay on from New Plymouth.
What's going on in the knacky, Linzo?
Oh, it's all gravy in the Navy, matey.
Oh, get on.
It's really shifting into third gear, this thing, isn't it?
We're not doing anything really, though.
Okay, what's going on?
What are you, getting all gravy tonight, are you, Lindsay?
Oh, yeah, we're getting on the gravy tonight.
On the sauce?
What are you doing?
We're going out onto the town and odds on.
Oh, well, Lindsay's getting out.
Waking up with a sore jaw tomorrow morning, Lindsay.
Lindsay's having a big one.
At least, they're all having amazing weekends.
She'll be getting facial reconstruction.
Oh, look, look, Jono, I know you don't like me doing this,
but I'm going to make an executive decision.
Everyone gets hell pizza today,
because everyone sounds like they're having a wonderful weekend
for multiple reasons.
All right, Lindsay, I'll tell you what we'll do.
We'll call you first thing Tuesday morning, mate.
See how you're feeling.
Yeah, right, thanks.
Might not be all great in the Navy then, that's for sure.
You have a wonderful weekend, you guys.
You too.
You too, listening.
But next, the tropical storm that we keep talking about.
It's heading our way.
When is it arriving?
How bad is it going to be?
Phil Duncan, the weather expert, will tell you next.
The hits.
The Jono and Ben podcast.
Of course, there's a tropical storm heading our way,
which looks very, very scary.
So we thought we'd get the latest expert advice from Phil Duncan.
Phil Duncan from Weather Watch.
We only talk to him when there's atrocious weather on the way,
but he's always our little ray of sunshine.
Good morning.
You're bringing your bright in our day, Phil.
Yeah, okay, so you always say that we never talk to you
when there's good weather,
but it looks like there's good weather for what,
the next day or so?
Yeah, yeah, and maybe next weekend as well.
Okay, great.
Thanks, Phil Duncan.
No, but then...
It's been great talking to you.
We've got to talk about the elephant in the room,
the cyclone, the very scary-looking cyclone
that looks to be heading our way. Yeah, so this is a really big offshore storm at the room, the cyclone, the very scary-looking cyclone that looks to be heading our way.
Yeah, so this is a really big offshore storm at the moment and is expected to become a bit stronger today.
It's then going to move out of the tropics over the weekend, and it goes through this big development
where it sort of shifts away from being a tropical cyclone to what we call an extra-tropical cyclone.
To make it really simple, it just means the tropical fuel that made the cyclone to what we call an extra-tropical cyclone. To make it really simple, it just means
the tropical fuel that made the cyclone kind of gets replaced by the usual storms we get in the
Southern Ocean, and it goes through this weird transition as it moves into the north of the
North Island. And the reason why I have to share that is because that's the reason why weather
forecasters still can't specifically say which areas are the worst hit because that exact placement of the storm,
when it comes in, makes all the difference for the warnings.
But it does certainly still look like a big chunk of the North Island
has severe weather for a few days around Sunday to Tuesday
or maybe even into Wednesday.
Are we cacking ourselves, Phil?
Look, I'm perhaps not quite as stressed as I was a couple of days ago, but it is still looking very, very serious.
I mean, this storm is the most serious storm that's come into the North Island since the 1990s.
Wow.
Now, if it just goes past very close to us, I'm going to get a whole lot of people going, why the hell did you talk about that?
And I'm actually really OK with that because we saw from the Auckland anniversary flooding
with four people who died.
And lack of communications is a part of that problem.
We need to be talking about these storms.
We don't have to say we're all going to die.
We just have to say, look, there's a really major storm coming past us.
We're hoping it just brushes further to the east.
But the latest modelling today still suggests that there's plenty of severe weather on its way for many parts of the country.
Because they are saying, you know, sort out three days' worth of supply,
so 48 Heinekens for me really have to batten down the hatches.
Are we taking that message seriously?
I mean, that's the standard message for any kind of cyclone or serious storm
because if you lose your power or if there's a big slip and you can't get
out of your house um it might take a couple of days for emergencies crews to come through and
clear stuff out so that that's a very normal message most people should have that regardless
of this cyclone to have enough food and water for a couple of days or three days at least
um to get by but i'm you know we're seeing a high risk of slips, flooding and road closures and also power cuts.
Whether or not that's all in similar places to the Auckland anniversary weekend, that's a big
question. And obviously it's changing each day, I imagine each hour. So throughout the weekend,
it's really probably important for everyone to keep up to date with what's going on.
Yeah, the big global computer models that you keep hearing about talking about the tracking,
they only update a couple of times a day. So while our forecasts update every single hour,
that's great for today and tomorrow, but it's not really that good for sort of talking about
three or four days away, because you're updating stuff that hasn't really changed. So twice a day,
basically every morning and night, take a look at the forecast. That's when you'll be seeing the
very latest information coming through for this big system.
And on the day itself, then the hourly stuff makes more sense.
But certainly, the start of next week looks pretty rough for parts of the North Island.
Well, I guess if your house didn't get flooded last week, it could get blown over next week.
It's insane weather at the moment.
Do you know I said a fact to Ben earlier today, Phil Duncan?
He wasn't that impressed.
Oh, no, I was. Yeah, but you didn't act impressed. And I want to tell it earlier today, Phil Duncan, he wasn't that impressed. I know I was.
Yeah, but you didn't act impressed.
And I want to tell it to you, Phil Duncan.
Well, you probably know this.
Yeah, you probably won't be that impressed as well
because you already know it.
But I didn't know that hurricanes, cyclones, and typhoons
are essentially all the same weather,
but they're called different things in different parts of the world
where they form.
Yeah, they are.
They're the same thing.
They're just different names from different parts of the world where they form? Yeah, they are. They're the same thing. They're just different names from different parts of the world.
A typhoon forms up around west of the international date line
in the northern hemisphere,
so basically directly north of New Zealand heading towards Asia.
We get cyclones in the southern hemisphere,
and then you've got hurricanes,
which form east and west of the United States.
So you did know that. Well Phil Duncan from weatherwatch.co.nz, thank you for your time this morning
and everyone should keep on track to see unfortunately how this cyclone is heading
towards New Zealand over the next couple of days.
That's the one, cheers guys.
One more question, are you actually going to start invoicing us because we're
having you on like every week at the moment Phil?
You talk to your sales manager.
Let's see what we can do.
Thank you, mate.
Cheers, buddy.
Valentine's Day is next week on Tuesday,
and we had a dream to spend Valentine's Day at Valentine's Restaurant,
Valentine's Buffet.
We've wanted to do this for so many years.
We want to fill hearts and fill stomachs, don't we, from the buffet.
So we wanted to do lunch at one Valentine's restaurant in the country
and then dinner at another Valentine's restaurant somewhere else.
And it's happening.
It is a thing.
It's actually happening.
So we're going to be spending Valentine's Day,
and we want you guys to come along.
If you want to come along, you can come with your Valentine.
We're going to book out some tables.
We'll pay for your meal.
And you and your couple, you know, as a couple, friends, doesn't matter.
We just want to have some Valentines together with us.
We want to spend it with you.
Now, we will be there through the whole dinner day.
We'll be with you all Valentine's Day until it starts getting hot and steamy and weird.
Then we might let ourselves out at that point, Ben.
That would be the polite thing to do.
I don't think I'll get that far, you know.
Actually, if you guys want to go home, we'll let you go home and do what you need to do.
I might be peering through the window.
Full disclosure.
Whole South Island salmon, beef eye fillet on the menu as well.
It's a buffet.
My only fear is this buffet is so good that you'll want to leave your partner and marry the chicken curry.
That's how fantastic this Valentine's buffet is.
So if you want to register to win tickets, you can text VALENTINES to 4487,
and you could be spending Valentine's Day with us at one of the locations we decide to go to.
Jeez, we love a quirky novelty food.
We do.
We do.
Every sausage at Bunnings.
Yeah.
We'll eat K-Bars at Kmart or something for our next challenge.
But we've had a few entries.
If you want to text, like Ben said, 4487.
And we've got Davika on the line, you old romantic.
How are you?
I should have expected that.
Now, Davika, we'd love to spend Valentine's Day with you.
Please don't tell us you have a husband.
Well, I do have a husband.
And the funny part is, he's never done any cooking.
And he's been telling, oh, I think I'm having a feeling I should cook something for you.
I said, oh, my God, no.
You're like, no, no.
He wants to cook for you on Valentine's Day.
Well, let us save you the food poisoning because we want to invite you to Valentine's restaurant. We're spending
Valentine's Day at Valentine's.
Oh yeah.
Would you like to come along with your husband?
Hang out with us? You can have your own table
but we'll probably come and... We'll definitely record
you. Yeah, I know you at some stage.
Oh yeah, why not? Alright.
Have a cheeky little, you know, sort of
seafood cocktail or something. Yeah.
Yummy!
Alright, we'll put you on the list.
We'd love to have Valentine's Day with you.
Thank you so much, Jonah and Ben, and you guys rock.
I'm so happy that I get a chance to tell you guys every morning, you know,
when I'm just like, it's a short 10-minute drive, but it was it.
Oh, that's lovely.
Very lovely.
Yeah.
Thank you very much
and we love to
well I tell you what
we will love
to meet you
thank you so much
there we go
tell you what
I love Davika
she's made my
self esteem feel
fantastic on a
Friday morning
more of that
now listen
the rest of you
can take a leaf out
of Davika's book
more of that
more bloody ego
inflation on this
program
now I was trying to
find the old iconic Valentine's jingle online.
You remember the Valentine's from back in the day?
Is it not available?
I couldn't find it online, but I have found some old school jingles.
I want to play a wee game with you next.
See if you can remember what they were advertising.
These are some flashbacks, some jingles from yesteryear that you all know.
Some nostalgia.
You'll love.
It's next.
The Hits.
The Jono and Ben Podcast. We're spending
Valentine's Day at Valentine's Buffet
which I can't wait for that. It's going to
be happening on Tuesday. You can text Valentine's
to 4487 if you want to come.
You can have a table. We'll shout you
and your partner a dinner
or lunch depending on when you come and join us.
You're trying to find the old Valentine's jingle.
Take a trip down memory lane.
I couldn't find it.
Come on, old fellas, reminiscing.
Yeah, but I have found some old iconic jingles,
and I wanted to play them to you and see if you not only remember them,
but also remember what they were advertising.
It was, you know, back in the day,
it felt like a beautiful era of advertising
where the ideas were limitless.
The only limit was how high the amount of cocaine was
on the desk of the creatives at the advertising agency.
And everyone was watching TV, were we?
There was only a couple of channels.
So everyone knew the ads inside and out.
You couldn't skip through the ads or anything like that.
You had to sit down, you had to watch Country Calendar
and appreciate all the commercials.
All right, so here's a jingle I found, a nostalgic one online.
Have a listen.
Stop it.
Spray and white.
Yes.
Spray and white, that's it.
And this is the start of it.
It sounds like your last name, Pryor.
Got a call from Mr. Pryor.
Have a listen.
It's a friar. Yeah, it would sound like Pryor if she didn't say Friar. It was a Friar He's bringing round a buyer It's a friar
Yeah, it would sound like friar
if she didn't say friar
It was a friar
I thought it sounded like friar
Got a call from Mr. Friar
Oh, there we go
Sorry
Keep playing them, though
We're going to get the go
Got a call from Mr. Friar
Yeah, it's a spray of wine
Remember this?
The lady had the house
that was all a mess
Yeah, no
And it was, again, you know
back in the day
a little bit of a misogynistic approach to house cleaning and advertising and there's always some sort of
stressed out poor housewife trying to just keep the place clean it was amazing how much just a
little bit of spray and wipe just the whole house that everything just it was really it was a
nightmare but she got the whole thing clean so yeah that was it that was a good commercial all
right have a listen to this one.
Don't stop it.
You can guess, but don't stop it because we want to hear it. Rainbow's here.
That's right.
That's right.
This was amazing.
As far as jingles go and New Zealand wine, this was pretty incredible.
Yeah, it was.
Purest form, wasn't it?
That's right.
They were an actual group.
I had another song as well. I love the line, the rocking, rolling't it? That's right. They were an actual group. But they had another song as well.
I love the line,
the rocking, rolling, rolling, rolling rollercoaster.
They obviously just had to fill out a couple of extra syllables there
to get them across the finish line.
Motion master, rock and rolling, rolling, rolling coaster.
How good.
It's such an iconic.
You cannot go to Rambo's End now
without thinking about that iconic jingle.
Yeah, well, maybe Joel could,
because he's probably never heard it before.
Did you ever hear that one before?
I might add that to my Spotify playlist.
Because you've never heard it before.
I think I might have, but...
Good song.
Okay, we'll go one more.
How about this one?
Crunchy.
Yes.
The iconic one, it was on a train train and all sorts of stuff was going on.
It was like a Western thing.
It was big budget.
James Cameron could have made 10 avatars for the budget of this crunchy commercial.
You're very good at remembering these.
Yeah, that was.
Let's hear one more before we go.
You can keep your margaritas and your executive Irish down.
Lion Red.
Yes.
Yeah.
Now, this was another epic ad as well.
Like it was going around Red Blood and Blood Brothers.
It was a pretty epic ad.
Yes.
It was like a music video, wasn't it?
Yeah, the guy at the bar who was singing.
Yeah.
I used to love to sing the music with the flake one.
Do you remember the flake one?
And it was like a sultry.
This lady was, she was sort of devouring.
Oh, you got it.
Lach, chocolates.
Very, very sensual undertones to this commercial.
I was like, am I watching softcore here?
I couldn't quite figure out.
Yeah, because it was all really softly lit and all sorts of stuff.
Yeah, like she's chowing down on a flake in the middle of summertime.
You're like, something's definitely going to kick off
between these two in the bushes.
There we go, a bit of a Friday flashback
for you,
reminiscing about some ads
as well as we head
to Valentine's next week.
If you want to join us,
you can text Valentine's
to 4487.
The Hits,

Thank you.
Or play on to win more.
It is our Game of Words Association we play every morning at this time on the hits.

All right, let's get Rebecca on.
How are you this morning, Rebecca?
I am good, thank you.
How are you guys?
You're in Hamilton.
I am, yes.
Are you going to take a shank to the big fight happening at the
bus terminal today no i think i'll be staying away from that who's organizing this mass fight
have you heard about that i have seen it on um facebook but yeah i've got nothing i've got
nothing to do with it very scary they've got a show poster bring your weapons and uh well they're
saying there's are they advising children not to catch buses and go to schools?
Yeah, some schools this morning.
Yeah.
So very scary.
Anyway, hopefully nothing happens.
Yes, definitely.
All right.
You could be the only person turning up and say, I won the fight.
If no one else turns up, Rebecca.
What are you doing right now, mate?
I'm just about to drop my little boy off at daycare.
Oh, lovely.
Then you've got a day off, we're told.
And then I've got a day off work, yep.
So hopefully I'm off to get a new car with my winnings.
Oh, yeah, a new car.
Also, if you like a new car, we've got Cash and Car coming up at 8 o'clock as well, the
first episode.
I'll be listening to that.
All right.
Well, who do you want to send into the soundproof booth?
We'll send Jono in this morning.
Jono's heading on in there, Rebecca, and he's inside right now.
So here we go.
What pops into your head when I say Ed?
Ed.
Sharon.
Yeah, the obvious one.
First aid is the second word.
First aid.
Kit.
Kit.
That's what I was thinking too.
Climate is word number three.
Climate.
Change. Climate change. Break three. Climate. Change.
Climate change.
Breakers is the next word.

Sewing
Sewing machine
I think you played
A really good game
This morning there
Rebecca we'll get
Jono out of the
Soundproof booth
And see how many
We can match up
Hi Rebecca
Okay hi
Now if I can give
One bit of advice
Is don't be so greedy
Play a smart game
Because a lot of people
What happens is
They get swept up
In the bright lights of commercial radio.
That's what happens.
It's your chance to invite them, but you can play.
That's the game.
You can play, but you're right, Jono.
Sometimes people...
Bamboozled.
Bamboozled by the star power of Ben Boyce or my undeniable sexiness.
I know, it sends you into a tailspin.
Well, you're right, but sometimes you know the word's tricky,
but in this case, I think Rebecca's done pretty well, you know, across the board.
So you might match up.
Let's do it.
Word one, $25.
First word I said to Rebecca was Ed.
Ed.
Sheeran?
Yes.
That is the obvious one.
Rebecca, $25.
Are we going to risk it all for $50?
Of course we are, yep.
Of course.
Word two, $50.
First aid.
First aid kit.
Yeah, well done.
Very topical.
Have your supplies ready for the next three days, they're saying.
Oh, nice.
So $50 is yours, Rebecca.
Do you want to put that on the line for $100?
I think we will, yep.
Let's keep going.
Word three, $100.
Climate.
Do you want to know? Climate. Jono, climate.
What did Rebecca say when I said climate?
Climate change?
Did you almost change your answer?
Yeah, I was going to go climate crisis.
Oh, nice.
Okay, Rebecca, you have $100.
Now, this is what Jono was saying before.
Do you want to jump up to $500?
Yeah, let's give it a go.
I'm not going to get much faster.
$500.
Ignoring your advice, mate.
I tried my best.
Tell Rebecca how to spend her money.
She hasn't won yet.
All right, word number four, breakers.
Basketball.
Yes! Oh, good luck for the finals, too, this weekend. Ohball. Yes.
Good luck for the finals, too, this weekend.
Oh, my God.
And good luck to you, Rebecca.
What are we doing?
Are we leaping up to 5K, or are we walking away with your head held high
and you're walking into that biffo at the bus station with 500 bucks?
I'm going to go for it.
Let's give it a go.
Word five, $5,000.
Okay.
This is for $5,000.
Machine.
Machine.
Oh, that's some options.
There are some options
in this one.
See why it's the final word?
I'd say washing.
What did you go, Rebecca?
Sewing.
Sewing machine, which is another great option.
I'm looking at the fax machine.
What's the photocopy of fax machine out there as well?
Machine gun.
Yeah, but I think you guys picked them.
Just didn't quite match it up.
I'm so sorry, Rebecca.
That's all good.
Thank you so much anyway.
Have a great weekend.
Yeah, you have a great day.
You too.
Bye, mate.
Hey, coming up after 8 o'clock this morning,
cash and car, as we said.
The winning doesn't stop there.
No.
We have, thanks to Škoda, a brand new Škoda Kemic
and also an undisclosed amount of cash hiding in that boot.
And it all kicks off next.
The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
The Hits Cash and Car.
You could win an amazing Skoda Kamek Monte Carlo car
worth just under $48,000.
There is thousands and thousands of dollars in the back of that car.
If you can guess how much money exactly is in there,
you'll win the cash, all that cash, and the car.
You drive off in a brand new car with a bootload of cash
without even having to do a ram raid, Ben.
This is the joy of this competition,
and also part of the joy of this competition
is the wonderful cash keeper, Alex,
who, when it ended, said you'd be back.
I am.
You didn't say in what capacity, though,
but the competition's back. The competition's
back. I'm back.
And you know what? I just
want to give it away today, because I'm already...
Day one would be great. I'm already too nervous,
you know? It gets me heart rate
up, and it, you know, last year was
tough, so I don't even know why I'm back. Do people
actually bombard you for the
figure that's in the boot?
Do you get messaged and harassed? I just saw it happen before with Producer Joe.
He's like, how much was the figure again?
You're like, don't start with me.
Don't start.
No.
I'm a closed book.
Yeah, you are.
Okay.
So we're going to talk to Bree, who joins us from Auckland.
How are you, Bree?
Good, Jono and Ben.
How are you?
Good.
Oh, we couldn't be better.
Bree talking to you this morning.
Now, you're going to be the first person to have a guess for 2023's Cash and Car.
You could drive away today.
Have you got hair, long hair blowing in the wind?
That's all Jono dreams of.
Yeah, I've got long hair.
That would be amazing.
Oh, you keep talking about that long hair.
How long is it?
Oh, pretty long.
It's past my shoulders. Oh, past your shoulders. Oh, yeah, that's good hair. All right. That's long hair. How long is it? Oh, pretty long. It's past my shoulders. Oh, past your shoulders.
Oh, yeah, that's good hair.
All right, we're going to...
Do you want to wash your hair?
Good hair.
All right, we're going to throw you over to
Cash Keeper Alex now to make the
first guess, as Jono said, of Cash Your Car
2023.
Right. Okay.
Three. Here goes.
How much money do you think is in that Skoda K-McMonte Carlo? Right. Okay. Bree. Here goes. Yes.
How much money do you think is in that Skoda Kamek Monte Carlo?
God, I hope it is $11,480.
No cents?
Final guess, yeah.
Cool. So Bree with a guess of $11,480.
Zero cents.
Yep.
That is incorrect.
I'm sorry.
And...
That's okay.
I'm going to throw out a little clue to you early on.
It is higher than the amount last year.
I'm not going to tell you what the amount was last year,
but I can tell you that it's higher.
Higher than last year?
Wow. We've already given away
clothes. Well, you with
your just-past-shoulder-length hair
go and have
a wonderful weekend, Brie.
Thank you. You too, guys.
Take it easy and stay safe.
Give us another call later on, because
11 o'clock, it's back again.
And throughout the day, 8, 11, 3 and 5 weekdays,
you can call over 100 The Hits and get in for that amazing competition.
The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
It is The Hits, Jono and Ben, 12 past 8 on your Friday morning.
Ed Sheeran in the country right now.
Of course, Wellington last week playing two massive stadium shows tonight.
He's at Eden Park and then tomorrow night as well.
And throughout the morning, we've been trying to connect four listeners,
four people listening to Ed Sheeran in Connect Four.
Because we can't connect ourselves to Ed Sheeran at the moment.
No.
Go for it.
Connect Four.
I feel like I need to sing over it because the quality of that VHS.
Just let it be.
Go for it. Too late, Joe. Connect Four. It's like I need to sing over it because the quality of that VHS. Just let it be. It's too late, Joe.
Connect Four.
It's too late, Johnno.
We've loaded it in and it's ready to play.
But yeah, Ed Sheeran, he's been traipsing around the country for a while.
And he did a press conference last week, didn't he?
He did the Wellington show and we sent little Grayson along to ask him a question.
And I don't blame Ed Sheeran just doing one press conference
and getting all the questions from the media drongos
out of the way in one hit because
we have just, we've shoved
Marmite in his mouth in the past
he's done every radio stunt
imaginable, he deserves a break
Now we're trying to connect four people throughout the morning
we've already had one person on No 100 The Hits
say he performed at Hobbiton
during the week, which was pretty cool. To some Danish people
Yeah, and now we've got James from Corfy Intermediate.
Thanks so much for joining us, James.
Yeah.
Hey, no worries, mate.
And how are the girls getting on with their new schools?
Yeah, yeah.
You're good.
You know, like it's always a bit of a nerve-wracking time.
I think for me, probably more than I've ever had.
I'm like, how did this go?
How did this go?
You make friends.
You know, as a parent, it's a wild ride as well.
Just tell me that you've made friends, that you're happy.
Yeah, exactly.
That's all I want to hear.
Did you talk to this?
Yeah, I know, especially new schools, eh?
You're probably dealing with it every day.
Yeah, that's right.
But everyone's happy at our school, mate.
You're at Corfy, and you had Ed Sheeran come to your school yesterday.
I mean, how incredible is that?
Yeah, it was awesome and an amazing way to start the year.
Second day of the year, we have Ed Sheeran coming in
and doing a bespoke performance for us.
And every rumour that you hear about him being a nice person,
that being humble and humility is absolutely 100% correct.
That is true.
It does seem like that, eh?
The problem for you, though, is the school year is like
it's all downhill from here.
You can't start the year with an international pop star.
Who are you going to bring out next week?
Jeez, pressure's on.
Well, look, if things get really bad, we'll just keep John on and Ben on.
Oh, yeah, that's going to be really bad.
What a buzz, though, for the kids.
I mean, I'm guessing they had no idea that he was coming?
No one had any idea.
So it was kept within our senior leadership team.
And so no teachers knew.
We had to set up a fake assembly,
get all the kids and teachers together in the canopy.
Teachers were not happy that we had to have another assembly,
what a waste of time.
Just want to get into the year.
So gradually we went down sitting there.
And then, yeah, I mean, today we have the task of dishing out over 2,000 tickets.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh, yeah, because we heard.
2,000 he gave you.
We heard that Ed Sheeran gave tickets to the kids as well.
So Ed Sheeran's policy was that every family within our school goes.
So that's not like two tickets for each family.
It's four tickets for each family.
Wow.
And if families need more, they have a larger family,
then they apply for more and get them.
Oh, my God.
Jeez, that's incredible.
Who's doing the admin?
Someone's having to do the admin on that.
Probably you by the sound of it, but that's incredible.
That's what we're doing.
But it's over.
We worked out over $290,000 worth of tickets.
Gee whiz.
I tell you, you'll be looking at that on the spreadsheet, mate.
Don't you worry about that.
There's been charity for the year.
Oh, that's incredible.
I mean, the kids, no one will forget this.
I imagine you would have thought it was a prank when someone reached out to begin with.
Yeah.
Well, I was able to get in touch with his manager in the UK before he came.
And I said, can we go over to Eden Park and watch the soundcheck on the Friday?
And then he got back and said, I can do better, it'll come to your school.
And then Ed said, I can do better, I'll give everyone tickets.
So it sort of snowballed.
Yeah, I mean, he's just such a cool guy.
Oh, that's so incredible.
Well, thank you so much for sharing that story with us.
We really appreciate it.
And yeah, wow, enjoy the concert this weekend.
Yeah, and look, it's all about community.
You know, to be able to take a whole school like that,
a whole school community, all their whānau heading along,
it creates that shared experience that, you know,
that will keep our school buzzing for at least two years.
Oh, awesome, James. Well, it sounds like you're doing a wonderful job there, mate.
You keep up the good work and thanks for your time. Kia ora. Thanks, awesome, James. Well, it sounds like you're doing a wonderful job there, mate. You keep up the good work, and thanks for your time.
Kia ora. Thanks, guys.
How good was that?
Ed Sheeran, you love him even more now.
But 0800THEHITS, that's our second connection to Ed Sheeran.
Can we connect more people next?
Jono and Ben on The Hits.
The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
We're trying to connect four people on 0800THEHITS
throughout the show this morning to Ed Sheeran.
Go for it.
Too late, Joe.
Connect four.
Yeah, connect four to Ed Sheeran.
And we've got another connection on 0800 The Hits.
Pippa, good morning.
And Dad's Tim, good morning.
Good morning.
Lovely to have you both on the show.
You've had an encounter with Ed Sheeran.
Yes.
What happened? Well, we were just having fun in the front row
and then he forgot the lyrics to Galway Girl
and he needed someone to go on stage.
So he asked the whole stadium if anyone wanted to sing with him
and I put my hand up in the front row, right in front of him,
and he just said, can you do it and stuff like that.
Well, I read about this.
This became big news.
So Ed Sheeran's playing 48,000 people in Wellington.
He starts playing Galway Girl, one of his hits.
He forgets the lyrics.
And then I thought risky from Ed Sheer, going, does anyone know the lyrics?
And you were the person that put your hand up.
Yeah.
Did he pull you up on stage?
Yes.
Did you have to sing the song with him?
Yeah.
That's awesome.
Oh, my gosh.
Were you nervous doing that?
I mean, there's 48,000 people.
I was pretty nervous.
Yeah, I can imagine.
It would be.
Were you also going,
mate, how have you forgotten the words to your own song?
Wow.
So what was it like being up there
once you got past the nerves in front of all the people?
Was it pretty incredible?
Yeah, it made me feel happy.
Oh, what a sweetheart.
And did you talk to him on stage?
Was he giving you any tips or advice or was he straight into it,
grab a mic and start dueting?
He said to me if I can sing and I said yes.
And he gave you a hug.
Look at the article there.
He gave you a hug.
He gave you a big round of applause, got the crowd to start chanting your name.
Yeah.
Was everyone going purple purple yes
what a bloody legend that's so cool did you have to go to school the next day yeah i had to everyone
would have been like mate yeah when you finish singing what happens does he just go i'll go grab
your seat again no he kissed me on the forehead. Oh, mate.
I bet you haven't
washed your forehead.
I kind of have.
It's probably a good thing
to be honest.
Basic hygiene, mate.
You have sung
with Ed Sheeran
on stage
in front of 48,000 people.
That's awesome.
Do you want to sing
with Jono and Ben
in front of
maybe 4,000 listeners?
Sure.
You want to do it?
Yeah.
Okay.
She fell in love with an Irish man, played the fiddle in an Irish band.
Jono's forgot the lyrics.
Does anyone know the lyrics?
Played a fiddle in an Irish band, but she fell in love with an Englishman.
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hands and baby, I just wanted a pretty little girl.
Go away, girl!
Oh, that's awesome.
What was better, singing with Ed Sheeran or us?
Probably both.
Oh, you're so awesome.
Hey, Pippa, thank you so much for talking to us today.
That is incredible and well done.
We're very jealous.
If you've got a connection to Ed Sheeran, we're just one away.
4487, maybe you've met him. Maybe you've sung on stage with him i mean that's pretty incredible oh under the hits four four eight seven the hits the jonathan ben
podcast age 41 uh something that's not sitting well with me is coming across young people in
adult jobs.
Have you noticed this at times in your life?
You may have.
I went to the doctor yesterday and I was thinking to myself,
do I have to ask him to do his parents know where he is right now?
He was that young.
Oh, you've reached that stage.
I was like, has Dad brought his kid to work?
Is it dress-up day?
You're going to bring your kid into work day sort of thing.
He was so young,
youthful looking,
not a wrinkle on his face.
Oh no.
And you go through,
like I had to go through
a drink driving stop
at New Year's,
just passed.
And the police officer,
the police officer
was about 18 years old.
That's fine.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's great. Yeah. It's crazy.
Yeah.
Again, I was like, are you playing cops and robbers dress up party here?
Some of them are really young.
But as you said the other day, there is young people that are way younger than us.
But look, some of them are so mature.
Like high school kids, you're like, oh, they've got more facial hair than me.
You know?
Yeah.
You get it the other way as well.
All blacks.
Look at the all blacks rugby team.
You know? They're all like young, as well. All Blacks, look at the All Blacks rugby team, you know,
they're all like young,
20 years,
and you're like,
what?
These guys look like actual,
yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
What do they look like?
Ben,
what do you want to say?
What are the stereotypes, mate?
Bikes,
slow bikes,
bikes,
yeah.
Like Reggie McCall consistently looked 45 years old
from when he was about five.
Yeah.
Hey,
just had that one consistent.
The opposite of Chris Hipkins,
he'd look 12 for the rest of his life. consistently, yeah, one consistent. The opposite of Chris Hipkins who's looked 12
for the rest of
his life.
So it's a sad
reflection of life
when you think,
jeez, if I was a
little more
irresponsible as a
teenager with
contraception, I
could be these
people's fathers.
Isn't it?
It's a real,
oh God, we've
hit this stage.
The Hits, the
Jono and Ben
podcast.
She's just 22 years old and she's touring with Ed Sheeran.
In fact, Ed Sheeran is her boss.
She's the next big thing in music.
Maisie Peters.
She's playing with Ed Sheeran again tonight at Eden Park
and tomorrow night as well.
She joins us in the studio right now.
Great to have you here.
Thank you very much.
Hello.
Lovely to have you here. Thank you for having me. Great me great name Maisie thank you uh who do we have to
thank for that uh my parents my mom my dad uh god bless Nick and Diane they're probably not listening
to this right now because it would be in the middle of the night for them but shout out to
Nick and Diane yeah shout out to Nick and Diane they chose a good name they did actually it's
very cool it was actually on the list for my daughter's maze.
It didn't quite make the cut, but it was on the list.
I will try not to take that too personally.
I don't know why I brought that story up.
Why did I tell that story?
You've done amazingly well.
Early 20s on tour with Ed Sheeran.
Sold out gigs around the world.
That's pretty incredible.
It is quite good, isn't it?
Thank you.
I just learned to tie my shoelaces by 22, so you're doing very well.
You've done so well to be here then.
You've really jumped up.
Still got Velcro shoes.
Velcro strips.
That's okay.
Small steps, small steps.
I thought it was really cool.
You're like, for young people, embrace the cringe.
I think that just like I often get asked by people,
what advice do you have for people that want to make music
or anyone of that ilk?
And I'll just always say,
I think it's important to not be embarrassed
and just embrace things that you think are embarrassing or cringe
and just put yourself out there
and be proud of what you do or what you make
or who you are and just go for it
because you don't get anywhere not doing that.
That's cool.
What advice would you give to two middle-aged guys
being a bit beaten down by life?
Their TV show has gone away. one of them's lost their hair is there any hope for those a lot of cringy comedy we've done over the years you know uh that's interesting so this is just like for a friend right yeah
i guess i would say like don't put all of your eggs in one basket like have you guys
sorry has your friends considered um you know, other avenues,
farming?
Farming.
Farming could be good.
You don't need hair
to farm.
That's the thing I've learned.
Maybe I could farm
some hair for myself.
Potentially, yeah.
I've heard that's a real thing
that's coming up
in the world these days.
Is this first time
in New Zealand?
Yes, it is.
So are you getting
sick of everyone saying
what do you think of the place?
Because I feel like
as a nation
we're quite insecure
and we want to know, particularly from pop stars like yourself. No, so are you getting sick of everyone saying, what do you think of the place? Because I feel like as a nation, we're quite insecure.
We want to know, particularly from pop stars like yourself.
No, I love insecure people.
They're the most fun.
No, I love New Zealand, genuinely.
I mean, I think there's a similar sense of humour to the Brits, I think.
And everyone's so friendly and nice.
When I was in Wellington after the Ed show,
we were just walking around town the next day.
And there were so many people that were coming over and being like, oh, we really enjoyed the show, but they were so polite and so respectful and nice.
What did you think of the bucket fountain there?
I'm not going to lie, it was really hyped up to me and it is just a couple of buckets
and that is slightly underwhelming, but I did go back and see it like three times.
Oh, you did?
You did?
You know, a lot of intoxicated people just end up peeing in there.
I think someone from Elijah Wood, I think, from Lord of the Rings,
I think he might have peed in there.
Elijah Wood peed in there, yeah.
I think so.
Good for him.
We haven't washed that bucket fountain since, mate.
Still got it there.
You guys do love your Lord of the Rings, don't you?
We do.
You like to keep it going.
And so does Ed.
Obviously, you tour with Ed.
He loves Lord of the Rings as well.
He's got the song for The Hobbit.
He goes, he's your album guy.
Like, is he here?
Is he getting you a coffee?
Because that's what the record people do right now.
Yeah, I've sent him out on the menial tasks.
We wanted that, you know, if he's bringing you dry cleaning and all that sort of thing along.
I'm going to get that definitely in motion more for the next tour.
I think we should really improve our menial tasks.
I'm just looking here.
You were born.
You were only one when Lord of the Rings came out.
And we're still milking Lord of the Rings.
I know.
We need to give up on it.
I like that you're looking at my life in relation to Lord of the Rings. No one has ever aged me by Lord of the Rings. I know, we need to give up on it. I like that you're like looking at my life in relation to Lord of the Rings.
No one has ever aged me by Lord of the Rings.
Well, that's how we compare everyone in New Zealand.
You're like, you were one, you were five, you were nine.
It's the only thing we do in New Zealand.
It's our only barometer of ages.
Does Ed give you advice and stuff or does he kind of let you be, you know, who you want
to be?
Both.
He does give me advice. Also, I just sort of do my own you know who you want to be both I get he does give me advice
also I'm just sort of
do my own thing
and he's really happy
for me to do that
the best piece of advice
people always ask me
what the best piece of advice
is that he's given me
and it is
to be really wary
of tequila bottles
with little hats on them
because sometimes
those tequilas
are the most evil
okay that's good advice
that's some great life advice
yeah I know
you guys can have it now too
that and farm some hair
That's what we've picked up
I'm here with the big facts
Coincidentally
Ed Sheeran
11 years old
When Lord of the Rings
Came out
I'll let him know
I'll let him know
That's what we like to know
Do we have a question though
When you are performing on stage
And you go
For example
Wellington
I love you so much
This is the best place
We've played
Are you saying that
To other cities
Around the world Yeah To be fair Actually the Wellington show Was really great you so much this is the best place we've played are you saying that to other cities around the
world um to be fair actually the wellington show was really great so i did say wellington you were
really great i will remember you forever but you meant that but i did mean it the other thing is i
meant it um no but i mean all of these shows in new zealand have been really special because
i'm like they're so crazy and they're so far from where i normally play so it's like they're all
like actually really special and i'm not just saying that because you're here what about radio interviews
will you remember this you know what I will remember this forever for a variety of different
reasons I'm not sure if they're good but I will take it that's what we like that's what we like
oh well so lovely to meet you congratulations on all your success and we can't wait to see you
we're going to pop along we're going to leave after you actually so don't tell Ed
no one knows Maisie Peters you can catch her tonight with Ed Sheeran
and tomorrow night as well.
The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
Netflix.
We've had a lot of talk about them cracking down on sharing of your passwords
so other people can be merging.
Thank you, Jono.
That's the sound.
That's the Netflix sound we know.
Good on you, producer Jono.
That was good.
Sorry, I was just opening up my account on the computer.
Well, yeah, because I went last night to watch some Netflix,
and then all of a sudden I had to register my Netflix
to the household I was in.
What is it?
Oh, is this so you don't share your account with other people
and we don't bleed them of millions and millions of dollars?
That's what they're doing.
Everyone's all up in arms, like, oh, Netflix.
You don't want us ripping you off?
We've got a loophole.
You want to make money off us?
Yeah, well, again, it's frustrating, though,
for people that had.
So you've got to basically be within,
from what I understand, every month,
you've got to at least be watching Netflix
at the place it's registered at.
So you can take your Netflix away for the weekend
and watch it somewhere on your login,
but as long as within the month you're coming back,
where they go, it's still the place,
the primary location.
Right, so all those people who are a giant pain in your ass
mooching off your account,
now they're just going to have to come over to your house.
Probably.
To watch.
You come over just to get things back on the system
and then go away again, from what I understand.
So you've got 30 days grace once you reset your account think so yeah yeah what if you are the so you ben have signed into
your household account but then you go away yeah so i think it's fine because you're going away for
a little bit if maybe if you're going away for six months or something it's a different story
but as long as you're back within that sort of the next time to go yeah you're back here
bear fix is back and it's been used again in its primary location it's a nightmare when you get used
to having something for free and you have to pay for it well people have found loopholes it's the
it's the kiwi way and it's the beauty isn't it we always in this day and age you always find
a loophole now uh tvnz on demand that's free at the moment but you think for the long-term
sustainability of the state broadcast they're gonna have to start charging it one day TVNZ On Demand, that's free at the moment. But you think for the long-term sustainability
of the state broadcast,
they're going to have to start charging it one day.
Well, they could take that 20-odd million
they spent on the merger that didn't happen,
put that back into Watsons.
Chuck it into TVNZ On Demand, boost that,
we're going to have a few more free years.
Why don't the government spend money on that,
just making it free for the remainder of life?
So yeah, there you go, eh, Netflix.
Bloody shambles. bloody shambles bloody shambles how many account streaming services you signed up to now oh it
varies from time to time it's normally just uh the disney plus and netflix but every now and
again i dip my toes in i've been neon for a month or whatever it is and you know and and sky and
from time to time as well but it just it depends It's hard because there's so many as well, right? Have you still got your porn hubs up?
Oh,
there we go.
There we go.
Here's our twist.
Here's the,
it's,
John,
I'm a man.
Why did,
like,
this is why we can't have nice things.
This is why we can't have nice things.
