Jono, Ben & Megan - The Podcast - February 22 - If You Named Your Baby After The Place You Met Your Partner, What Would Their Name Be?

Episode Date: February 22, 2021

On today's show we had a bit of fun discussing what our children would be called if we named them after the place we met our partners. We had some brilliant calls, one person's child would be called The Grumpy Mole! You probably couldn't get much worse. We also reflected on memories from the school tuckshop - Juicies, McCain's Hawaiian pizzas, when your mum would be working behind the counter and sneak you free food, OH HOW GOOD WERE THOSE DAYS!? We also continued our A to Z of New Zealand and we phoned a lovely lady from a small town called Luggate to see what they're all about!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. Hey, welcome to the podcast. Lovely to have you on with us, Ben Boyce. Taking a risk today, wearing white jeans. We'll get to that shortly. Yes.

But first of all, you'd like to front foot the podcast with a bit of a menu, a menu of what's happening. School tuck shop memories. That was quite fun. I'm getting quite nostalgic about the school tuck shop. Remember the days of the old school tuck shop. Yeah, so that was quite fun. Just taking a trip down memory lane about school tuck shops. What we did learn is that tuck shops have got a lot more healthy over the years.

We spoke to a lady whose brother ate a mince pie and the contents were so hot he then spat it out onto his thighs. That then created a third degree burn on his thighs. Subsequently, his legs got infected because all of the minints and stuff that had burnt through his... So I tell you what, that's not a fond memory, that one, but that was more traumatic. One heck of a tale. And we also talked about how I'm getting grief for my unusual mode of transport. That's on the podcast today. And now white jeans.

You're wearing white jeans today. And you've mentioned this on the program that you're a bit nervous. You know, I got given these for the TV show when we did our TV show a while. They look good on you. They look fantastic. We actually did a thing. We were on a boat and we were wearing white jeans. It was kind of like a Backstreet Boys sort of thing.

And I was like, I've got to keep the jeans, but I haven't worn them since because I've been too scared to wear them. Not because I didn't like them. I just was like, oh, that's a risk because you could at any stage spill anything, sit on anything, rub against something. Must be thrilling though. Because, you know, black jeans, your legs can relax in black jeans. You can roll through mud and they won't show up on a pair of black jeans.

But white, you're vulnerable. I'm always on edge at the best of times. But right now, I'm more on edge because of the jeans. Have you been keeping liquids away? I'm trying to, and then I'm like sitting down. I don't know. So we'll see at the end of the day how the white jeans fare wearing them today. Yeah, how have they gone so far?

Do a twirl. Do a twirl for me. I don't think they've gone too bad. No, they're good. They're good. Yeah, have they gone so far? Do a twirl. Do a twirl for me. I don't think they've gone too bad. No, they're good. They're good. Yeah, no. Yeah, no. The problem is, too,

just even sitting on your humble park bench could create a situation for yourself. Yeah, so a real risk today, a fashion risk. Well, I'd like an update on tomorrow's podcast to see if you made it through unscathed through the day with your white jeans. That's tomorrow on the podcast. Look forward to that.

But in the meantime, enjoy today's show. Have a good one. Two dads just trying to fill some airtime. Some might say it's pointless, but the main thing is it fills in some airtime for us. That is the main thing. Jono and Ben, breakfast on the hits. Been swept up in a social media fad.

This is unlike you, Ben. And I'm not on it, so I have to come along for the ride. What are we doing? We're doing it on the radio right now. It was something that was going around last week, going if you named your baby after the first place you met your partner, what would the baby be called?

Oh yeah. I imagine a lot of people will be phoning up with like the dirty dingo and the hairy horse knuckle or something, you know? Like a bar. A pub. Yeah, that's the sort of ones we want because both you and me are pretty boring. We met our wives at work. So yeah,

the radio network. The wives aren't boring. Can we just clarify the wives? Very exciting. But the actual name is not quite as funny as some of the other ones you hear around. Yours is solid gold, isn't it? No, mine's the Radio Pacific Publishing Department where I met Jennifer and I used to send out calendars for

old people. And I tell you, I was not cut out for the calendar sales game. Because an old person would find out and be like, I want a calendar. I was like, I need your credit card details. How am I going to pay for it? With your credit card. Oh, can I give you cash?

No, I need your credit card. What's my credit card? And then they start giving me their phone number. And I was just hung up on them. It's like, get me out of this calendar game. So anyway, Ben Boyce, you met at what? It was the Radio Network. It was the NZME before the place we work currently right now,

but before it was NZME. So I'd have a baby called the Radio Network. Little Baby Radio Network. Yeah. Juliet? Oh, my most previous relationship, Bumble. Little Baby Bumble. Little Baby Bumble.

That's quite a good name. Now, we've brought in some people from the office. Ben, you want to rattle through the personal details of all of your colleagues. John, I'm going to need your credit card, please, for your calendar. Don't give me your phone number, though. We'll start with you, Dani. Yeah, so I met my partner, Chris, at work. We were shooting a TVC together.

And then when we realised we liked each other, we hooked up at a bar called The Empire. Oh, yeah. Empire's quite cool, yeah. It's Boss Toddy's favourite place in the world. So I guess if we had a child, it'd be called Baby Empire. Baby Empire. Very prestigious name. Couldn't rule the country, Harriet.

What do you mean, Riley? Mine would be Baby Winterfest. Winterfest. And we're away on a work trip. This is like something from Game of Thrones or something, eh? We're away on a work trip is this like something from Game of Thrones or something yeah we're away on a work trip for this company and Cara the baby would be called

baby Joybong after Joybong on K Road in Auckland oh yeah the restaurant a great restaurant yeah

great Thai BYU restaurant yeah okay so let's let's give you calls 0800 the hits

4487 if you were to name your child after the first place you met your partner, what would that baby be called? We want to know. There's a great text coming through here. The erotica after party. 4487.

So that's where we've started. We'll see where we end up next. We've got some hell pizza for our favourite name next. Give us a call right now. 0800 the hits. Sarah, you're going to join us from Christchurch. How are you, mate? Good, thanks. How are you? We're good. We're just mentioning right now. 0800 the heads. Sarah, you're going to join us from Christchurch. How are you, mate? Good, thanks.

How are you? We're good. We're just mentioning before, 10th anniversary of the earthquake today for you. Yeah. Yes. Wild, wild. I hope a few people turning out for the commemoration today, too, they're saying. Yes.

All right. We'll segue off that to where did you meet your partner and what would you name your baby? So if we named our baby after the first place we met, she would be Baby Bog. We met at The Bog, an Irish pub in Christchurch. The Bog. I imagine many fruitful

relationships started at The Bog. Yeah, I've been to The Bog before. It was always a lot of fun. Yeah. It's an attractive name too, Baby Bog. Baby Bog. It really is, yeah. Good boy. There we go. Well, you, your partner, and Baby Bog have a wonderful life together, okay?

Thank you so much, guys. Cheers for listening, mate. Nikki Morena, welcome. Morning. You met your partner where? And therefore, you'd be naming your baby what? Either Baby Slots or Baby Pokies. I met him in the pokies at Uranoi Pub. Slots or pokies?

The pokies. Baby slots. Oh, you were playing the pokies. Twins, twins slots and pokies. Who was playing the pokies, him or you? My husband was. And you're like, I like the look of that man throwing his money away recklessly into a machine that's not paying him out.

Very reckless. I could put him on the straight and narrow. I love it. Slots and pokies. No, no. Just stop it. Stop it. Okay.

Hey, good on you, Nikki. Have a great one. Thank you. Love your work. We'll go to Tessa. How are you, Tess? Hello. How are you?

Good to have you on from Auckland this morning. If you named your baby after where you first met your partner, where would it be? What would it be? Internet dating. More specifically, what platform? Oh, shit. Shoot.

I can't remember. It's like 19 years ago. Oh, right. This would have been new, 19 years ago, internet dating. Yeah. Pushing boundaries, Tess. Love it. That's awesome, Tess.

It may have been NZ dating, but I'm not 100% sure. Little baby NZ dating. I love NZ dating. That's awesome. RIP NZ dating. Is that still going? I don't know. Maybe it is.

You sound like it's not according to your RIP, but anyway. I will go to Denise. Welcome from Manawatu. You'd be naming your baby what if it was named after the first place you met your partner, Denise? Oh, it's one of those where I just keep talking and they don't say anything. Flashbacks nightclub, producer Humphrey saying. Little baby flashbacks. And going through on the text here, 4487, if we named our baby after the first place we met,

our daughter would be named the grumpy Mole. Oh, okay. That's lots of fun this morning. Experts in semi-accurate, half-remembered information. Vaguely known information, but maybe not correct. Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast on the hits. The A to Z of New Zealand. Something we

do every day on the hits is we call a different town or city in New Zealand. We call one a day and we're slowly working our way around New Zealand alphabetically, learning about each place as we go. Today, Lugget. It's a small town in the South Island of Aotearoa and I tell

you what, here's a fun, prepare yourself for a fun fact. Oh, I like fun facts. The Lugget Bridge has been described as one of the most attractively proportioned steel truss road bridges in the country. Now, don't tell me that wasn't a fun fact. Yeah, okay. I won't then, just because you said don't tell you.

All right, Millennial Max has teed up someone, I think a florist, to call through to. We'll head through now, Ju. Hello, Tracy speaking. Hi, Tracy. It's Jono and Ben from The Hits here. Oh, good morning, boys. Hi, Tracy. Sorry, I got them to call slightly earlier than I said they would. You did, but that's okay. That's Millennial Max

coming in with a quick apology. I'll have coffee afterwards. Oh, no. What were you meant to be doing right now, Tracy? Well, I was going to have a coffee, but you coffee afterwards. Oh, no. What were you meant to be doing right now, Tracy? Well, I was going to have a coffee, but you've called. Oh, you can make it while talking to us. Yeah, that's all right. You're in the South Island, so I imagine your coffee, what's your coffee you're going to have? Because you wouldn't be like one of our Auckland coffees,

would you? Oh, I might have a brevet this morning, boys. What is a brevet? Ah, you were going to say that. You don't even know what it is. No. What is it? It's a flat white half know what it is. No. What is it?

It's a flat white half cream, half milk. Oh. Half cream, half milk. Oh, that's nice. That sounds nice, doesn't it? I don't know how we get posh here in Luggett, mate. Yeah. Posh in Luggett, mate.

Luggett. Now, where is Luggett? And whereabouts in the South Island? Oh, come on. I have to do this geography test with a guy at a party on Saturday night. I don't have to do it again. You have to do it with the nation right now on the radio. Yeah, whereabouts is Luggett?

South Island. Okay. Lagarte or Lagarte or La Jarte, depending on which illustrate agent you are. We're 12 minutes out of Wanaka. Oh, now I'm looking at pictures. La Jarte. It looks like a postcard. It is a postcard today.

Been out and fed the horse, played with the dogs, about to have coffee and I'm hitting the work platform. About to have coffee. Two idiots from the radio ring you up. They delay that. What are you doing, Lejate? I'm a florist. Oh, really?

Yeah, really. I produce fabulous flowers for mostly just weddings, really. I don't do retail anymore. Now you can expose, you can lift the lid on the retail industry. Let's be honest, how much are you marking up on Roses Valentine's Day? That's why I don't do it anymore, boys. It's just not my cup of tea, and I don't like the whole has that has become Valentine's Day.

Oh, right. But you like the wedding, obviously? Doing the weddings must be rewarding. Weddings are good. I used to do lots of big weddings, really sort of just do the smaller stuff now because I'm getting on a bit, and it's kind of like,

oh, I don't want to work that hard anymore. No, good on you. Good on you. I'm the same, but I'm only 39. So you've got a bit longer to go. I know. You boys are way younger than me. I mean,

I met one of you at a wedding in Wanaka some years ago, I believe. This would be Doug and Louise Patterson. Correct. My cousins.

I've got a lot of lip service on the radio recently. I gave them a shout out because I was there on the foothills of Mount Thomas. Lovely. And Ben was like, well, this

lady doesn't know them and she didn't. But then just two calls later, we've got a connection with Doug and Louise Patterson. It's a small world. Two degrees of separation, boys. Tell me what was Jono like at the wedding from memory? Well, I was there quite early, so he

was pretty well behaved, I'd have to say. Oh, that's good. Surprises me. Hadn't sort of got past the point of no return, if you get my drift. Yes. No, I had a full head of hair then, too. Did you? Yeah.

I haven't seen a picture of you recently, but yeah. Could you have a look around your area just to see if any of your hair is still floating around somewhere? Send it back up to us. That'd be great. Maybe I left it in Wanaka. Can I give a plug for my wee floristry business and like it? Of course you can.

I'm Crimson Wedding Flowers and I do fabulous stuff for fabulous brides and grooms. Apart from having a wonderful wedding florist and like it, what else should we be doing? To be honest, guys, there's not a lot else to do in Luggett.

Except chill out, stay home, enjoy the views. It's the best little town in New Zealand. It is cool. It is up and coming. Although it does blow its arse off here quite regularly. But when it's not It's awesome Oh you're such a good sport

Well thank you so much for talking to us this morning You enjoy your coffee Have a great coffee with cream and milk I will, that's a brevi Enjoy your brevi, love you, chat and tear You too From stealing Mike Hosking's car To stealing the hearts of New Zealand

Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast on the hits. Actual hearts being not bestowed. Now, first full week for a lot of people who have just come out of lockdown last week because you would have come off your Auckland anniversary, your Waitangi, and your forced long weekend, government forced long weekend last weekend. It's going to drag this week. Oh, it's going to feel like a long week, isn't it? Yeah, for those people, jeez.

I had to have a conversation with Oscar, my son. Actually, he's just started. He's gone to a college now. And he's... You know when you go from primary to college and you walk in there and you're like, what is this classroom that everyone's going to at

morning tea and they're all lining up? And you discover it's the tuck shop. Yeah, because your son obviously didn't have a tuck shop at his primary school, right? No. No tuck shop. And I mean, once you, you know, at that age, 10, 11, once you lay eyes on the tuck shop, it must look like an oasis in the desert. Oh, totally.

You're like, what is this thing? Yeah, if you hadn't had that before. So I had to have a chat to him because day one he turns up and we'd given him money to last an entire week, blew it all at morning tea. Oh, day one. But shouting everyone. Just going wild. You were at the pub on a Friday night.

Exactly. So we happened to have, you know, you need to balance your tuck shop intake. But it's a wonderful thing, the school tuck shop, isn't it? Oh, yeah. Yeah. It brings back a lot of memories. Oh, it does. Remember when, like, your friend's mum would be working there?

That would be the greatest day ever. Yeah. She'd usher you over around the side door and you'd get some like bootlegged merch from the side door free of charge. I remember the cool kids always used to hang outside my tuck shop at the White Upper College. And I remember they used to hang around. And so I remember going over to the bin to put something

and I had like a full drink and an empty like cookie time wrapper. And I was like walking over in front of them to put my rubbish away. And I got so flustered. I put the full drink in the bin and walked away with it. And I was like, please, no one noticed. One of the kids was like, hey, did you just? I'm like, no. Did you have to go and degradingly?

No, I just left it. I was like, oh, well, yeah, I meant to put that full drink in the bin. Yeah, that's how cool I am. But no. That's the same. I just bought a goat and just throw it away. No to diabetes. Thank you.

Won't have any of that sugary intake in my diet. Yeah, I love it. Okay, so. Yeah, after that. There's no coming back as a kid for that. Nothing gets you more cred than throwing out a full can of Coke. Julia, you got tuck shop memories? Oh, yes.

I have two memories of buying 50 cent Freddo frogs like every day and just mowing them back. And also the mousses or the juices and kind of like the ice block sort of things in a plastic tube. Oh yes. And you'd put them in your mouth and then they'd cut the side of your lips because it was plasticky. I know.

But you fought through that pain. By the end the plastic was all covered in blood and it was dripping down. You're like a vampire by the end. It wasn't quite as healthy back in the day, the tuck shop is now, right? Yeah. I like to when they were under pressure,

and you would end up eating like a half-cooked, half-frozen sausage roll that they just chucked in the warmer for like three minutes. Get it out there. Get it out there. But you fought through that frozen, crunchy sausage, and you enjoyed it. So what we want to open up this morning, you know, tuck shop memories. Memories of the tuck shop. Yeah. Is it still as great as it used to be? Well, I'd say

so. I mean, my kids love going. It's the highlight of their week if they get some money to go to the tuck shop once a week for lunch. None of them had food gratings. Who knows what's going on in them? Just purely trusting the generosity of a mother who's given her time to turn up to the tuck shop.

All right, so 0800 the hits, 4487. What's your tuck shop memory from the old school yard? All right, now let's go to the phones. Memories from the tuck shop here. Great text. First fight. First and only fight I've ever been in was at Te Ao Mutu College at the tuck shop

when my arm was in a cast as well. Oh, really? Yeah. Always good to go when someone's got their arm in a cast when you're having a fight. Yeah. Slight advantage. We'll start with Michael. How's Petone. Oh, really? Yeah. Always good to go with someone who's got their arm in a cast when you're having a fight. Yeah. Slight advantage. We'll start with Michael.

How's Petone this morning, Michael? Hey, morning, fellas. Good to have you on. Remember the days of the old tuck shop? Help us out, Michael. What's your memory

of the tuck shop, my friend? I could grab a hamburger and two raspberry slips for under five bucks. Wild. Wild. Like, how were they making money? The prices were so low, weren't they?

Where were they getting the food from? What was the food, more importantly, that they could sell it so cheaply for? Yeah, it was a bargain. Thank you, Michael. We'll go to Hannah. Welcome from Christchop. Christchop. Remember the days of the old tuck shop.

It's just you now. I've lost interest. Should have joined in there. Yeah, you should have. My memory regards Mooseys. Do you remember them? Mooseys? Junior's nodding in agreeance.

It's almost like, kind of like chocolate milk frozen. Is that right, Hannah? Exactly. Exactly. So we were like obsessed with those because they were kind of like the one frozen. Yes. Is that right, Hannah? Exactly, exactly. So we were like obsessed with those because they were kind of like the one-ups and juicies. And everyone would cut their lips on the side of them. Oh, you'd get cut lips as well, so they were milky and juicy.

Yeah, exactly. But one time a boy decided to put his in his bag to take home because he hadn't quite finished it. And obviously it's a frozen thing, so it leaked all through. Oh, yeah. I thought you were going to put it in his pocket and then it all looked, you know, like something else. Yeah.

Good on you, Anna. Not quite that bad, but yeah. Thank you very much for your call. Appreciate you listening. More Anna, Sarah and Invercargill, remember the days of the old tuck shop? I'm not even singing it now. No.

I've backed out of my parody. Oh, my absolute jam was the $2.20 little frozen pizzas with pineapple on them. Oh, your McCain one. They'd put them in the microwave. Oh, yeah. Microwave pizza. Yeah, you love it. And you chuck some pineapple on it and all of a sudden it becomes Hawaiian

for some reason. A ham and cheese pizza turns into Hawaii. A taste of Hawaii. $2.20, eh? That's a great price. That was the thing. $2.20, eh? Mm-hmm. That's a great price. That's a great price. That was the thing. Where was the money going?

Would they just use it to fund the next days? It wasn't really a money-making thing by the looks of it, was it? It was just like, you know, it was good. It was good for kids. Someone's texting saying, I remember you could get a sausage roll for 80 cents and it would remain dry, but for another 20 cents you could extend some moisture to the sausage roll by getting some tomato sauce ah but it was hard to hard to get that 20 cent

extension extension did you have people always come out to you going no lips big sips oh if they want a drink of your drink yeah that's right but you just don't give us a drink you're like no that's my drink they're like no lips no lips big sips but they weren't going to touch their lips on your drink. That's their promise to you if you gave them a drink. But then once the fountain had started pouring, you couldn't stop it. You couldn't stop them.

Yes. And there was always a percentage if someone did touch it, you're like, oh, now the last 10, 15% is all backwash. It was always like a percentage system that you would get. Oh yeah,

but all you give to someone else you drink, you're like, oh, that's the backwash part. That's the 15, everyone knows the last 15% is back drink, you're like, oh, that's the backwash part. Everyone knows the last 15% is backwash. Like a tax on drinks, it's all backwash.

The last 85%, that hasn't been meningitis-fuelled at all. Yeah. Thank you for your calls, guys. It was fun. Ben and Jono call this show

Jono and Ben. Breakfast on the Hets. The Hets. And now, for the past sort of three or four days, we park in the mornings about five to ten minute walk

away from the radio studio. That's where our car park is. And it's five o'clock in the morning. It's dark out there. There's a few people out and about. Are these the unsavoury sorts? The night festivities from the night before. You know, sometimes it can be a bit of a brisk walk

at that time of the morning. I don't know who I feel more sorry for, us getting up and going to work at that time of morning or them still partying at that time of morning. I think I'd rather be them. Exactly, than us. But I did notice the other day at the back of my car that a push scooter that I have

when I go out there with the kids, the kids have got push scooters. And so I got one about six or seven years ago. I was in the back of the car from the weekend. So I was like, hey, I'll take that to work. It'll be a faster way of getting to work. Not motorized, just one of those ones you push along. A child's one.

Yeah. He deemed this an appropriate mode of transport for a fully grown man. Now, what I've noticed is taking this back and forth. And I've tried this for a few days now, like not only at five o'clock, but also in daylight hours back around midday, back and forth. Under the cover of darkness, it's fine at five o'clock. It's just me mocking you. Yeah, well, you mocked me the first day.

You're like, oh, it's a lost little boy. What's up? You all right, little boy? What's up? Why is there a little boy wandering around town at 5 a.m.? Oh, it's my friend, Benny. But I was like, okay, that's Jono. But what I've noticed going back,

because this is the first time I've ever really used it without the safety of kids around me. Normally when I go out with the kids, no one judges you because they're like, oh, that's nice. It's a family going out there on their scooter ride. But without the kids, a lot of judgment. Yeah, you look like you've stolen it off a kid. Everyone sort of looks at you like, then they do a sort of double take of like, is that the motor transport you've chosen to use? Well, because you're like, you're nowhere near a school,

so it's not like you're on your way to pick a child up. You're in the middle of town. There's no excuses. I feel judgment. I'm like, why? Why is this judgment? I'm like, I'm happy. Mate, over on the rock, they're driving Harley bloody Davidsons.

Here at the Hits, you're pushing around a seven-year-old push scooter. It doesn't help. Through town, and I have to walk with him. I can't hang back 10 metres now. You do. You let him go. It doesn't help that I've got a Toy Story backpack. I understand that.

Toy Story 4. Yeah. Not your original Toy Story. No, Toy Story 4. One of the best versions of the movie. But the other thing, too, is I find, like, because when you're with me, you feel you need to walk, so you're not pushing the scooter.

So then you have to hold it, and it's like you haven't quite figured out the correct way to hold it much like when you hold your partner's handbag you haven't quite nailed what position it needs to sit in yeah well this morning when we came across together because we managed to coordinate our walk and i was like oh no i'm gonna i'm gonna push alongside you but i was like i felt like i was making you go a little bit faster than your walk would go you were a little bit wheezy on the way i was wheezy you're a little bit like too much of a pace. I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, it's not, yeah, it's not conducive to going with someone walking, is it?

No, I mean, that's fine. You can scoot on ahead. I'll... I want to stay with you. I want to stay with you. I'll just hang back. Today at lunchtime, when there's hundreds of people,

we literally pass. I'll just, I'll hang back. Just a couple of metres. Okay, are you sure you're naked? Well, no, I don't want to hold you. Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime. Just search Jono and Ben on Facebook.

Five words for 5K on the hit. You're only five words away from a massive payday. Wait, wait, no. You can go. We want to go waste some cash, but I just saw you like you're in a frantic fluster over there. What were you looking for? I was finding some batteries.

Oh, you're like, oh, no, no, no. You're running and throwing stuff around the studio. Get in the zone, mate. Like, I bought a, like, long story short, I bought a Barbie doll. Oh, a piano. A piano for something else we're doing after the show. Oh, right. And I just lost the batteries because it doesn't have the back of the thing.

I was like, oh, no. I could see you in a panic over there. You need to get your head in the game because... I don't know why that was important right now. You're right. Vicky, welcome from Hamilton. Moreda. Hi, how are you?

Lovely to have you on, Vicky. You want to win $5,000? Yeah, I would love to. And you want to match your five words with whose? Ben, please. Now, this is why you need your head in the game, boys. Head in the game, here we go. Don't worry about a Barbie piano.

Well, I am worried about it, but I'm also worried about winning Vicky $5,000. That's what I want to do right now. Now, Vicky, you've been listening to the game every morning? Yeah, pretty much. I think I've missed maybe once. You've been playing along in your car. Have you actually matched any,

have you matched all five words while you've been playing along by yourself? I don't think so. Well, this would be a good time to do it. Yeah, this is the time that counts, Vicky. All right, I'm going to the soundproof booth. I won't be able to hear anything. As Ben Boyce emerges to the soundproof booth.

Vicky, you need to tell me the first word that comes into your head, okay? Okay, sounds good. When I say Kermit. Frog. Frog. Frog. Good option. Second word, Vicky. Chopping.

Okay, I'll try to play a quick game too. She was a little hesitant on word two, which she locked one and then changed it.

And tomorrow, 7.45, five words is back. One word away. Wow. 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. If you're like me and you don't really enjoy talking on the phone, it can go for long periods of time. I thought this was great. Over the weekend, I saw this on social media. There's a function called hang up.

Well, this is this person's theory on social media. Start every phone call with, oh, my battery's almost dead. Oh, good. And that way you can hang up at any stage. That is great. That's a conversation when you're bored. I was like, that's a really good hack. Oh, yeah, sorry, my battery's almost dead.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Beep. Yeah. I was like, oh, that's very good. Oh, yeah, sorry, my battery's always dead. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Beep. Yeah. I was like, oh, that's very good. Well, every time Jenny Boyce calls now, he's going to be like, sorry, my battery's always dead. Yeah. So there you go.

That is really good. That's actually really clever, eh? You're not a fan of a phone conversation. No, they just go for so long. I like just in and out. What are we doing here? A text is so much easier, though. It's not dither-dather.

Yeah, but it's so, you know. What about just a catch-up on the phone? No. Would you have a catch-up on the phone? I don't like a catch-up on the phone. What about a phone? I love a catch-up in person. That's great.

I'm going to phone you this afternoon for a catch-up. Can I just see what you're doing? I'll be like, oh, my battery's dead, mate. Just make it quick. Spy. No WhatsApp. Spy.co.nz. All right, we'll bring in our dear friend, Juliet,

producer Juliet, who's stitched up more celebrities than the cloud, releasing intimate videos of them. What's happening in Spy this hour, Ju? So Anne Hathaway, she was on the reality TV, she was a guest on the reality TV show RuPaul's Drag Race. Which is filming here in New Zealand at the moment. Yeah. As well as Australia, did you say?

I think there's an Australia, it's what you call a classic co-production between Antipodean countries there. I think the New Zealand broadcaster, along with an Australian affiliate, are both putting an equal share. It's awesome to have it in New Zealand right now, right? Yeah, very cool. Well, I guess they can't make it in America at the moment. No, no, they're

all bloody locked up over there, but she was talking to all of the people on there, and she said that she revealed the most, sort of a really shocking thing about one of her most iconic movie roles. Of your many movie roles, were there any that you had to like

bite, tooth and nail for? How much time do you have? A lot of them. I will give you some tea. Yeah. I was the ninth choice for Devil Wears Prada. Wow, she's the ninth choice? Devil Wears Prada. Oh, wow. Wow, she's the ninth choice?

Ninth in line for that movie. And that was probably one of her most famous movies. It's an incredible movie. Really, really good. I'm looking who else is on the list. Number one choice was Rachel McAdams. Really? From The Notebook?

Yeah. That's all nattering away. Oh. Juliette Lewis. Oh, yeah. Juliette Lewis, who's also away. Oh. Juliet Lewis. Oh, yeah. Juliet Lewis. There's also a musician, Juliet Lewis. Yeah.

Who else was there? Oh, no, I just crossed off the bloody page. Oh. No, we'll never know. We'll never know. But I was ninth choice. I was the ninth Jono in line for Jono and Ben. We also had Ben Affleck.

Yeah, I know. He's always the number one choice, right? But isn't that quite interesting to think about? Like, if you think about iconic roles, imagine if it wasn't Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in Titanic. Who could it have been? You can't imagine other people being these iconic characters. But then if the other person had played it,

you couldn't imagine that they... It's a cash 22. True, true. And in other news, which you may have heard over the weekend, which I don't know if this is a big difference to what they're already doing, but Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have officially stepped down from all royal duties forever.

They're going to be stripped from their military appointments and royal patronages. Is that how you say the word? So it's basically official now. It was a year to go away. It's like, oh, I think about it. You still want to do it. Have a little trial period.

The Queen, Harry, rang him beforehand just to make sure that this is what he wanted to do. And he was like, yep, I think about it. You still want to do it. Have a little trial period. The Queen, Perry, rang him beforehand just to make sure that this is what he wanted to do. And he was like, yep, I do. Apparently Prince William isn't happy. But that's what sources say. Who is not shut in their pie hole? I know. Who's the loose lips?

Yeah. Who's the Jono of the royal family? You didn't hear it from me. I just heard William's not happy. Not happy. He's not happy. Not happy. He's not happy. But I guess William would probably, well, why am I chiming in?

Shut up, Jono. Do you know what I'm going to do? I was going to try and offer something. I've got nothing. What do I know what William's thinking? What about this? What about this? So they'll keep their his slash her royal highness titles, but they can't use them on a day-to-day basis.

Tuesdays and Thursdays. Just when you want to get in front of a line of coffee. Do you know what will happen is I think people will probably still refer to them as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Yeah, you're right. And then people will be up in arms and be like, why are we still calling them the Duke and Duchess of Sussex? Or he could be the new artist formerly known as Prince.

Oh! That was a legendary move from Prince the Entertainer. Just a bit of a rebrand. So there you go. It's quite timely too with them announcing they're doing an interview with Oprah too.

True. Oh, right. Is that time? Oh, hey, here I am again. Here's the source there. Here's the source chiming in again.

They're very much in the news. The baby leaving the Royals. Oprah. How's Philip going? He's on his... He doesn't sound very well, does he, Paul Philip? No.

No, he's in... I think he's still in hospital. Prince Charles went and visited him. But it's... They took him to hospital as a precaution, like just to be safe. And it's not COVID related, they're saying, right? No, no.

But I guess he's 99. Is he 99? Jeez. And if he makes it to June, he'll make it to 100 and then he'll get a letter from the Queen. Oh, wow, that'd be a big day for him. Really good.

I'd like you to post it to me, too, like you do for everybody else. Yeah, gosh, what a day. What a day in Prince Philip's life. And that's Spy. For more, you can head to thehits.co.nz. Paid to talk words and stuff into a microphone. It's New Zealand's breakfast. Jono and Ben on the hits.

Big news over the weekend. Kim Kardashian filing for divorce from Kanye West. I always wonder with these things how long they have been apart before us, the mere mortals, the lowlifes, the scum find out about it. Well, yeah, because you imagine it would have been some time that you would have thought tried to make things work and all that. It wouldn't have been like yesterday. She would have gone, no, that's it.

Or maybe it was. Well, it would be quite an abrupt decision to make. But, Juliet, we've got some audio of Kanye when he was just launched his bid for the presidency he was in a bulletproof vest I don't know if you remember this thing and the poor guy he lives with bipolar and he looked a little bit on a hinge and he was

talking about how they were thinking of aborting their first child and he said this We talked about her not having this child but even if my wife were to divorce me after this speech she'd be brought north into the world

even when I didn't want to. So that was a year ago. So maybe it's been going on since then. You never know. For seven years they've been together. Wealth of 3.7 billion. But they signed a prenup going into the relationship. And according to this article I was reading,

no one's going to contest that. So they'll just go on with what they... Do you have a prenuptial agreement? No. No, neither. I think it'd be a weird thing to broach, wouldn't it? Especially when you're about to embark on a next chapter of your life.

But you can understand if people come in, if someone is like, if you were going to marry Elon Musk or something, someone like that that was like, I would only dream of marrying Elon Musk. You know, or people come in, if someone is like, if you were going to marry Elon Musk or something, someone like that, that was like, I would only dream of marrying Elon Musk. Or Jeff Bezos or someone who's got a lot of wealth. You can understand in that situation how that could happen

if someone's just come along at the last minute after you're like, you've got $20 billion in your bank account. Yeah, but if it's a couple of Joe blows, me and you, then we'll go on even and whatever happens, it'll take you for everything you've got at the end. But it kind of like

signals of like, oh, do you not think that this is going to last? Doesn't it? It's kind of got those connotations to it. But then if you didn't do it, at the end you'd be like, oh, goddammit, she's taking my 3.2 billion. But I didn't realise this, that Kanye's actually worth more than Kim Kardashian.

1.3 million, mostly thanks to his Yeezy shoe line. Incredible. Wow. Incredible. And this is her third marriage. Yeah, you were saying that today. So there was a record producer she was married to when, I think she was only like 19, 20 years old, but she was married.

What was his name? The unforgettable... Damon Thomas. Oh, the unforgettable Damon Thomas. How could we forget that? No, I was just reading about him now. He's produced many albums. Chris Brown, R. Kelly.

Yeah. I don't know if he wants to chalk up those two. No, no. Pink, he's also done Pink. 90% of the music you hear on the hits, he's made. And then Kim Kardashian married basketballer Chris Humphries as well, too. And yeah, I think they're only 90 days, I think, between proposal and ceremony. And you feel sorry for her because no one goes into a marriage wanting it to end or not wanting to work out.

Especially because Kanye and Kim have got four kids. So I'm sure they've done everything they can to try and make it work. I'm sure they have. Real Kiwi blokes with soy lattes. Shono and Ben, breakfast on the hits. I, on the weekend, went to the beach with my friend and his kids have become obsessed with that, you know that TV show, Bondi Rescue.

Have you seen Bondi Rescue? I have, yeah. It's the surf lifesaving show in Australia on, right? Yeah. On Bondi Beach in Sydney. I feel like it's just an employee from the Australian government to get rid of a lot of Kiwis that they don't want living in Australia anymore, that show,

because so many people nearly drown on that programme. It's quite harsh, the waves, because there's Piha Rescue in New Zealand and the West Coast beaches sometimes in New Zealand have very strong waves. Yeah, there's a lot of, it's quite graphic too, Bondi, a lot of frothy mouth action, you know, when someone's spitting out three quarters of the ocean

from their stomach. Oh, really, do they get right in there? Yeah, they do. Oh, right. Yeah, it's quite great. Anyway, so his kids are crazy fans of Bondi Rescue, which seems like an unusual show to really put children to get into. But when he goes to the beach, this is what I was watching him,

he has to play Bondi Rescue. And so his role is drowning swimmer. And then the two kids are the surf lifesavers. But when I was watching him do it, I was like, well, it's quite a fine line between are you playing Bondi Rescue or are you actually drowning? What other people think on the beach in that situation? He says the performance has to be half between,

oh, look, kids, I'm drowning, and half not scaring the other swimmers. Yeah, otherwise you'd get the actual surf rescue people coming over, wouldn't you? Well, because, yeah, the problem is when you're actually drowning. He's just playing Bondi Rescue. Kids love it. Famous show. Oh, hang on.

He's really committed to the role. He's now gone under the ocean for five. Your kids play News Hub. Have you got that audio, Julian? Oh, yeah. That's what I caught them doing in the holidays. So the whole game, the family could play News Hub. They made a little news set and everything.

And I thought, you know, like I think I mentioned it. I was like, well, I work in TV. Do you want my help? And they're like, yeah, that'd be great. Can you film? Can you hold the iPad? I had to hold the iPad. So that's why I did it.

It's just a little role. What would happen if you didn't hold the iPad? Kia ora, good evening. This is News Hub Live News for Monday. I'm Sienna Boyce. And I'm Indiana Boyce. Leading the news, we have a school disco on Thursday. And in breaking news, there are no parents allowed.

In other news, I brought some roller skates at the mall. I wore them to school and fell on my bum. But it was fun. And in weather, it was really cold today. Brr. And that's News Hub News. I'm Sienna. And I'm Indiana.

Good night. It was a quick bulletin. Very selfish bulletin. Centred around their lives. Yeah, I know. It must like this radio show. Well, it's true. They're pretty much stuck exactly around that.

And soon we're going to cross dad to dad live from a refugee asylum and the market updates with mum before 7 o'clock as well. Fun game. Broadcasting live. And mostly awake. Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast. On the hits. Oh, man, I tell you what.

My body's feeling sore after the weekend. Oh, really? Particularly yesterday where I was a student in a manu training session. Have you done a manu in the pool? Yeah, well, yeah, I'm not very good at doing sort of, you know, bombs or staples or any of this. I don't make much of a splash in life in general and also in the pool. Literally. It's hard when you're Don't make much of a splash. In life in general and also in the bowl. It's hard when you're 42kgs to make a splash. Do you do manu's

too? I can't imagine you for a manu person. I'm more of a salmon person. You know the salmon? Do you know that? Yeah, when you're sort of shaking your body back and forth. You do that into the water? Yeah. That's lots of fun. That's a recipe for disaster. I know, I know. Anyway, my son Oscar, his body is young.

It's agile. It's fit. And, you know, kids can do it. They're bendy. Yeah. And they don't think about consequences. They don't think about, oh, what if I injure my back or something? It's going to affect work.

No, you're right. And just go hell for leather. Yeah. But then he was trying to teach me how to do it. And it's just there's a fine line between a manu and severely injuring yourself isn't there and i just constantly time after time was just slapping my back oh yeah i just can't figure it out yeah it's not for me and people do it off like you see people do off wharfs and you know around summer and off that you know it's like geez it can go it can go

wrong at any moment the whole time as you're diving through the air i'm just thinking oh there's a chiropractic appointment in this. What am I doing? Why am I even partaking in this? It's almost like you want someone on the phone, Tuesday, 15, yeah, I can make that. Yeah, put me in. Splash.

Yeah, you try to be the cool dad, don't you? Oh, he's a manu dad, but oh no. No, I can't pull that off. You notice that the dads that do try and be the cool dads, they often do injure themselves, but you never make out that you injure yourself at the time. You're always like, no, I'm good, I'm good, you know. Like a skateboarding, like when you get back on a skateboard.

Jeez, I had some great skateboarding years, you know, when I was a teenager. But now, not as agile on the skateboard. Yeah. You're still scootering around. Ben Boyce has been scootering to and from Sky City Car Park to work. Yeah. This morning you were doing it? I know.

Yeah. He's still young. He's still hip. I don't know if that's quite the case. We were out swimming actually with my dad when he was up a few weeks ago and he got out of the pool and he started rucking up the dog. The dog was there, our dog, Bo. And then dad for some reason decided he'd run off from the dog and the dog still

thought the game was going. And so the dog chased after him, Big Bo, and Dad stopped and like a bowling ball coming down towards the pins, the dog just took out Dad's legs. Oh, so the dog was wet as well, so he slid. He slid on the floor and then Dad just... And it was that whole moment where Dad just sat there and didn't say anything. You're like, you all right?

You're like, yep. Was he still in his talks? Just soaking wet in talks. And I was like, oh God, he's not that good. He just sat there for like 10 minutes,

a long time. A little bit startled, a little bit like, you okay? Yeah, no, I'm good. It's a lot to take in.

Wake up next morning, he's still sitting there. He's just not blinking. There's something changed inside of Kevin Boyce that day. It felt like he was never going to get up. Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime.

Just search Jono and Ben on Instagram. Scrolling through your feed. This is one media organisation Facebook hasn't shut down. It's Ben Boyce's scrolling through your feed. Now, tributes pouring in over the weekend For all black great Dan Carter After he announced his retirement at the age of 38 Now I see this morning Dan Carter retired

And you're like, did he retire ages ago? You thought he had retired quite a while ago Yeah, I thought he'd start up a new job Working for the Chemist Warehouse I see him working for the Chemist Warehouse now I thought that was his full time employment He hasn't played in two years. Yeah, well, he came back to play for the Blues last year.

And then he was injury-riddled, wasn't he? Yeah. I love that term, injury-riddled. Dan Carter, one of the greatest All Blacks ever. 112 times he pulled on the black jersey. Still the highest point scorer in TS Rugby as well, too. So congratulations on a stellar career, Dan Carter. We won't have him on the show.

And if we do, you'll trick me into thinking that it was actually Dan Carter when it's not. You still haven't got over this. He's like, as we're going into this, he's like, Juliet, get that audio of Dan Carter when you tricked me. You fooled me. You made me look like a smug. I'm so confused by this because I feel like, I mean,

Dan Carter is an all-black legend, you know, but he still seems attainable for this show. So why do we have to trick me into thinking we're going to talk to him? So we couldn't get Dan Carter is an all-black legend, but he still seems attainable for this show, so why do we have to trick me into thinking we were going to talk to him? So we couldn't get Dan Carter, so what we did is we spliced up bits of audio from previous interviews he'd done, and we got someone to play it down the phone. Ben Boyce thinking he was talking to the one and only Dan Carter. A few years ago, what would have been more embarrassing for you, Dan Carter, seeing your giant jockey billboard or seeing you in a blues rugby jersey?

Yes. Sure done, sir. Okay, okay. Is this the joke? Sorry, Dad, if it is Dad. Dan Carter, is this you actually talking to us right now? Thank you, good to be here. No, it's not him! What if I told you

it wasn't Dan Carter? It wasn't. There was five minutes of interview before that bit too. Well, there's questions like, some of them worked and some of them were like, this is an odd answer to this question. Well done on a stellar career, as Ben Boyce said, Dan. Well done.

I know you'll be up listening to this breakfast. This time of the morning. And actually, speaking of stellar, there's a wonderful segue you didn't know that you did. Stella, the beer in the UK. Now, it's lowered its alcohol percentage

from 4.8 to 4.6. So only very slightly, but it's left some of the drinkers furious. Outrage, up in arms, demanding a public apology. Well, it's a bland taste.

One guy said, one guy thought he had COVID-19 after he was drinking it, and he thought his taste buds had changed. And he's like, I've got COVID. The Stella doesn't taste the same until he's found out. That's point two it's dropped. Yeah.

Everyone's up in arms. Well, to be honest, I don't know if everyone's up in arms. There's like three people that had comments on this news article. That's enough for an up in arms article in my eyes. Do you know what I found interesting? I don't know who was telling us. I don't know, it was David Seymour of all people. Act Party leader

David Seymour. And we were talking about there's a lot of zero percentage beers at the moment. Apparently all the millennials are into the zero percentage, Juliet. Oh, not me. That's what they tell me on the internet anyway. And the reason, because you're like, why are they the same price as full

alcohol beers? Oh, yeah. Some cases they're more expensive. And it's because they have to go through the whole brewing process. Exactly the same brewing process. So they actually make it to the point where it does have alcohol in it. Then it goes an extra step where they then take the alcohol out of it. Wow. So that's why.

So it's quite a lot of work for them to make it. Yeah, I found that interesting. Don't know if anyone else did. No, I find it interesting. You have to have ID to buy alcohol-free beer as well for some reason. But it's probably for that same reason, like you say, it's been kind of made with alcohol. Well, it's an odd look, a nine-year-old walking out of Countdown

with a box of zeros. I mean, albeit it's all legal, technically. Well, you're true, isn't it? Just a little love pudding. Isn't a child with a dozen beers? And that is scrolling through your feed this morning. Add these two men together, and somehow you get three quarters worth of a normal man.

The Hits, with Jono and Ben for breakfast. Kia ora, I'm Rachel Jackson-Lees, and this is the B**** News. Tell you what, if the story is filler content on a news website, it's full content on this radio show. Juliet, you've sourced some of the best news stories from around the world and you've beeped out the headlines. We have to figure out what they are.

Yes. Are you ready for your first one? New website makes choosing a with your partner so much easier. Choosing a something with your partner is so much easier. I'll go with choosing a new partner with your partner because it's always hard to choose a new partner with your current partner. Yeah, they kind of generally frown upon it, don't they?

The old partners do. Maybe the website makes this easier. I don't know. I was going to say choose a better looking partner with a new partner. Same realm. Yeah, okay. But you have to have a very forgiving and open partner.

That's quite creative. But new website makes choosing a movie with your partner so much easier. A movie. So you know how like when you're watching Netflix and you can never figure out what you want to watch,

you can never really tell what you feel like doing. There's this website, movie-matcher.com and you answer questions about your likes and your dislikes, what kind of genre

you don't want to watch and then it matches it up with your partner who also fills it out on the website and then you can, comes up with a list of movies that you might want to watch together then it matches it up with your partner who also fills it out on the website and then you can comes up with a list of movies that you might want to watch together.

Like a compromise movie. That's our friend he says that our radio show is The Compromise. Yeah, like he wants to listen to Hodaki, his kids want to listen to probably like ZM

and we're The Compromise. No one's that happy but they all put up with it. It's good to be a compromise every now and then. Yeah, they all put yeah, they'll go okay, they all put up with it. It's good to be a compromise every now and then. Yeah, they all put, yeah, they'll go, okay, we'll put up with this. Do you and Amanda share, say, movie traits? Oh, most of the time, although she does like the horror genre, which is not for me.

Not for me. She likes the horror. I don't like the horror genre as well. You're always so anxious. It gives you anxiety. I know. Especially when you sit there on a Friday, Saturday night, you want to relax and watch a movie, not sit there and go,

I'm more wound up than when I started. I love a bit of horror. Give me a rom-com. Give me a Love Actually. Oh, yeah. Exactly. I would not expect that from you, too. Do you like Love Actually?

Yeah, I do like Love Actually. And horror. And horror, yeah. Give me a horror. It's an adrenaline rush, you know? Although you don't watch stuff. No, I don't. Every time you're like, oh, I must get around to watching this.

She never does. You won't. I know, I know. Next story. Gorilla Glue woman's family in support of newly viral TikTok star. Now, this is the lady who super glued her hair last week.

I'm going to say the Gorilla Glue woman's family also super glue their hair in support of the TikTok star. Just so that they all can make her feel better about her choices. I'm hoping it's a pun headline as well. So Gorilla Glue's woman family sticking around in support of the new star. They've gone with a pun. Gorilla Glue woman's family cut hair short in support of newly viral TikTok star.

You were almost there, Jono. Yeah, that's nice. Which is very nice. Once she had to have the surgery to get it all removed, her parents, and the family just thought they'd get on board. So they've shaved their heads as well. Oh, well, that's nice, but, you know, don't superglue your hair. But why do we have to support you?

We didn't do it. Yeah, true. That's a very good point. Like, if you superglued your hair, I don't know if Juliet would be shaving her head in support of you. No. No. I'd probably keep my hair just I don't know if Juliet would be shaving her head in support of you, would you? No. No.

I'd probably keep my hair just to make it seem like you. Yeah. I'd be like chalking up as a life lesson. Right, let's move on. This idiot over here. Yeah, I've done this, but yeah. And the last one. Wanted man hands himself in to get some...

I reckon a wanted man hands himself in to get some free professional photos for his Insta account. Because you know how they take your mugshot? That's good. Good lighting. Yeah. I reckon he's just handed himself in to get some rest. It must be hard to be wanted on the run.

He's just like, I'm tired. Just need some rest. Yeah, fair enough. Wanted man hands himself in to get some peace and quiet. So you're on the same round. Nails one. And it's because he was sick of the people he was living in lockdown with. He said, jail is a better option than my current living situation with these bloody...

Is he in America? I actually don't know. I didn't look that far into it. No, good on you. Why would you read the second and third line of the story? Exactly. Because I was going to say, we were talking to those people on Zoom on Thursday. In America, they've been working in their houses

for almost a year. From March 1st, it would have been 12 months that most people over there have been working from home. It's crazy, hey? So it's enough to send you to prison. Oh, exactly. And that's the news in beeps, my dudes. Yeah, yeah, nah.

Yeah, nah. Yeah, nah. The whole movie. Yeah, nah. She'll be right. And at the end of the day... Jono and Ben. Breakfast on the hits. Spy. No, what. Yeah, now. She'll be right. And at the end of the day. Jono and Ben. Breakfast on the hits.

Spy. No, what's up? Spy.co.nz. Her mouth is a weapon. She's a loose cannon firing off shots at all of the world's rich and famous. What have we got now due with Spy? The richest and the most famous couple, Kim and Kanye, are getting a divorce. This news broke over the weekend.

But there's a lot that goes into it. So since Kanye, people are thinking that kind of the split started happening when Kanye was running for president. He openly compared Kim's mother to Kim Jong-un. North Korean leader. Yes, and then... I don't think they look anything alike.

That's just IMO, IMO. And he detailed the fact that they were going to have an abortion with their first child, North West. And he said this, which when we were listening to this, we were kind of like, wow, is he sort of predicting the divorce? We talked about her not having this child. I know people that are 50 years old that didn't have children that have never got to experience

the level of joy that I experienced having a child. But even if my wife were to divorce me after this speech, she brought North into the world even when I didn't want to. So that was him when he was in the bulletproof vest at the church giving a speech

leading up to the presidential campaign. That's right, yeah. Talking about abortion and stuff. And you really do feel sorry for him. He suffers from bipolar. Yeah, like I don't think he's, he's obviously like creatively he's a genius. Like there's so many things he's created,

but then he obviously has these demons and suffers with some of these things. And sometimes it feels like he's talking when, he's out there in the public talking when hopefully people around him should be trying to stop him from kind of doing it

and look after him. From her point of view too, living with someone or being married to someone with bipolar would have as challenges as I imagine. Exactly.

And so they have, I think they have a combined wealth of 3.7 billion New Zealand equivalent and Kim is seeking joint custody of their four children. It seems pretty amicable.

Is that the right word? Well, they're starting to prenup, right? Where they can't say anything about each other. Which means he can't actually put her in a rap song. Yeah, yeah. He might not be able to. Oh, really? Well, it's kind of interesting

because he might not be able to rap about her, but then she's got the Keeping Up With The Kardashians show where this whole thing might unfold on that. So is that allowed as well? But I mean, historically, the Kardashians have shown their whole life on Keeping Up With The Kardashians. He can release a song called Slim Slarlashian.

Just about a coincidental divorce breakup. Okay, here's a game. Who do you think's richer out of the two? I would have to say Kanye. I'm going to say Kim. Because you said it before. I said Kim and you're like, you're wrong. Off the radio.

So now I might change my answer because I've got the opportunity on the air and say Kanye. Kanye's richer. He's worth $1.3 billion. That's crazy. I knew that. A lot of us tied up in his company, Yeezy with the shoes, which is obviously a collaboration with Adidas,

but he gets 11% of Yeezy's annual revenue. 2019, that was $1.3 billion. That's crazy. Crazy, and she's worth 780 mil, which apparently leaves, at the end of the day, $70 million that they're sort of contesting over. And a lot of that's tied up in a house they built. Yeah, you're saying a $30,000 sink is what they bought.

So $30,000 sink. It's a bathroom sink. Crazy. Not even your kitchen. It's not even the main. No. I think they have done a tour on YouTube or something of their house.

It is insane. I'm pretty sure it took them seven years to build. They've been married seven years, so they probably, as soon as they got together, started building this insane house, which they'll now have to figure out. They probably spent seven years deciding whether they should spend $30,000 on a bathroom sink.

Shall we? No. Okay, we'll come back to it next year. Maybe that's what broke... That's the thing that broke the mark. That's what broke the... This is a wild... A wild decision, that one.

You can build a whole bathroom for $30,000. Yeah, I know. So we will probably see this unfold in the months to come, but that is spying on our... It's always sad when it doesn't work out, but hopefully it's for the best. It's a good marriage, isn't it? I'm sure she doesn't go into these wanting to...

Oh, not at all. No, no. She had the famous 72-day marriage, and now this is a seven-year marriage. And then she was married to some dude called Damon Thomas, who we all know and love. Four years they were married. Really?

Four years they were married, yeah. And as you say before, when you say the name, I'm like, I don't think I've ever heard his name before. But yeah, but four years they were together. He's and as you say before when you say the name, I'm like, I don't think I've ever heard his name before. But yeah, but four years they were together. He's a memorable guy, David Thomas. And that is Spy For More.

You can head to thehits.co.nz. To everyone pulling a sickie today, you're not fooling anyone. Jono and Ben, breakfast on the hits. Wrapping up our show on a Monday.

A feeling good. Want to know why today is going to be a good day for you? Love to hear from you on 0800 The Hits. Let's start Monday with a bit of positivity. As we mentioned earlier in the show

too, a lot of those who were locked down in Auckland last week will be having their first full week off the back of two long weekends previous with Waitangi and Auckland Anniversary. Yeah. It's going to drag, baby. It's going to be a long way. It's going to drag. We'll kick things off with Jenny in Upper

Hard. Why is it going to be a good day for you, Jembo? Hi. Hi, Jombo. On my way to sign papers, I've just bought a house after a couple of years of looking. No, you didn't, Jenny. Yeah, probably paid far too much, but there you go. That's the market today.

I hope it was a Jenny in home. There's a pun there. Yeah, that paid far too much, but there you go. That's the market today. I hope it was a Jenny in home. There's a pun there. Yeah, that's good. That's awesome, Jenny. It's a good feeling. Are you mixed with nerves and excitement, I imagine? All of those, yeah.

Good, exciting, nervous, how am I going to afford it, all those sort of things. Well done to Jenny. She's going to have a good day today embarking on 30 years of debt. That's very exciting. We're going to send you out some hell pizza. You enjoy your new home, alright? I will. I'm going to leave that debt to my children.

That's your little gift to them. That's why you have kids. Burden them with debt in the future. Hey, good on you, Jenny. Keep safe. Cheers. Bye. We'll head to Olivia in Christchurch. Why is it going to be a good day for you, Liv? Hey, Jenny. Keep it safe. Cheers. Good on you. That's awesome. We'll head to Olivia in Christchurch. Why is it going to be a good day for you, Liv? Hey, guys. I'm just down at the University of Canterbury,

and it's O-Week, and I'm just really pumped to get amongst all the activities this week. O-Week? You do sound like an O-Week person. Yeah, it's definitely my jam. Yeah, no, I... We went to one at... Yeah, we did definitely my jam. Yeah, no, I... We went to one at... Yeah, we did at the University in Christchurch

and Jono ended up drinking out of someone's shoe and the shoe... Shoeie! Oh, that's right. It wasn't your own shoe, it was someone else's shoe and I was like, oh, this is... No, I had to do it

because we were working with Sharon at the time and she was pregnant and no one knew and then all these, you know, all your types, Julie. Yeah. Delinquent youth were like, drink out of the shoe and I had to take the hit.

I was almost like, no, make the pregnant lady do it, because I don't want to do it. But it was out of this scody old Nike running shoe. It had holes in the sides. That's the beauty of a shoeie, though, Jono. My mouth hasn't been the same since, I'll tell you that. And then we went to, what was that thing we went to, being the engineer, oh, no, the, what was that thing we went to, we were in the engineering, oh no, what was that concert?

Oh, was it in Lincoln? At Lincoln University. Yeah, that was an eye-opener. Garden party? The garden party, oh my God. Oh, that's a good time. The problem with the garden party is they're trying to curb the drinking by starting at 5am.

Well, yeah, but maybe they're starting the thing earlier and earlier, so they're starting sort of mid-morning now, it used to be an afternoon thing just to stop people preloading. And now people are getting up earlier and earlier. At 3 a.m. to beat the... Oh, no. It's like, come on, New Zealand. It's so fun. Yeah.

Well, let's end on Kelly in Greymouth. Why is it going to be a good day for you this afternoon, Kel? Well, I'm not sure if it's a good day, but I just had a... Well, it's definitely a good day. I'm on the West Coast. But I just had a story from my brother's canteen experience from school. Oh, we're talking about remember the days of the old tuck shop today. Yeah, we were. Some wonderful tuck shop memories.

Producer Juliet brought up the juicy with the sharp plastic bits that cut the side of your mouth. Yep, yep. Well, my brother was a bit of a fiend for a mince pie, mincing cheese pie, and he bought one and sat down with his mates to eat it. When he bit into it, it was way too hot, and he spat it out. He threw it all onto his lap, and he actually got blisters all over the top of his legs

from the pie after he'd spat it out. All the cheese, I suppose, and it all got infected because the cheese and mince had all blistered into it. This is just from a simple, honest bite, a humble bite of a pie. Yeah.

And he's ended up with infected legs. Oh, my goodness. Yeah. So they obviously overused the old microwave in those canteens. Just blasted in the microwave. Oh, my goodness me.

I hope your brother's thighs are okay. And, you know, let that be a warning to everyone who is heading to school today at the tuck shop. Long-lasting thigh injuries when you bite into that

Midsom cheese pie. Kelly, good on you. We're going to give you a hell pizza voucher. Just don't eat it too hot, okay? Yeah, awesome. Thanks. That is our show. We'll catch you again tomorrow from 6. Don't forget, you can play Five Words for 5K
