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. Hi guys, welcome to the day. Now it's really throwing me because usually the screen that I look at gives me the date as soon as I want it. So I'm now getting to retrieve the date off my laptop. Well, it's the 14th of June. Welcome to the podcast.

Now, we always talk about what we should do at the start of the podcast. And we're like, do we come in with lots of energy? Do we come in flat? What would we say the date? And over the weekend, I was listening to a podcast I listen to from time to time. It's a really good one. I love, I'm not trying to be boring here. I do love the NBA and American sport and stuff.

Just because you love the NBA doesn't make you boring. No, no, but I know not everyone loves it. So I listen to my podcast and normally I don't talk about it, but this is a listen to my podcast in the safety of my own home.

Yeah, I do listen to podcasts, but Jalen and Jacoby are a podcast. They do a show on ESPN as well and they also make a podcast of their show. Really good. Jalen, he's a former player.

Jacoby's also, you know, he's a basketball. They love their sport, but listen to the start of their podcast. I'm going to play it through my phone, but listen to how much energy. Hold on, can I stop you there? Are we playing in our podcast intro someone else's podcast intro? Is that okay? I don't know. I don't know what the rules and guidelines are.

Well, this is their podcast. They all write theirs. But listen to their energy. It's so good. He is Jalen Rose. What up, dog? I'm David Jacoby. And on the cool

check-in. Together with Jalen Jacoby, what exactly is it that we dooby We give the people What they want This is the weekend pod I mean that's how they start every podcast With a little bit of flair each time I like it, well let's try a little bit of flair And then they're kicking the music

And they give the people what they want And I'm like, oh that's so cool I mean if only we could sound as cool as those guys, Jalen and Jacoby. They own all rights to that, by the way. That's theirs. Not ours. I don't know what the etiquette is surrounding playing other podcasters. Let's try it. We have to bring our own thing into it though.

We do it in a New Zealand way though. What's up? Hi. That doesn't sound as good, does it? I'm Jono. And I'm Ben and what do we do? We replay our radio show on a podcast. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it doesn't quite work, mate.

It's real cool. I was listening to that. I was like, man. But the thing is, with Americans, they're naturally, they are natural-born entertainers. More charismatic than we'll ever be. Ever be. Ever could dream to be.

Every time we've gone to America for work and you know, you're just trying to record people on the street or whatever, everyone could be a superstar. Yeah, it's true.

You walk out of the hotel, you talk to someone and you're like, oh my God, that was the best chat we could have with anyone. And it's just a homeless guy. Remember we interviewed

a homeless guy. And he was amazing. He was amazing. He had a tail. He gave us his life story which could have been a movie. Just incredible people. And he was amazing. He was amazing. Like he had a tale of all. Gave us his life story, which could have been a movie. Yeah. Just incredible people. And then we talked to someone else.

Oh, that was the best chat we've ever had. So, yeah. And then we spoke to the guy who's a rapper and a spy. Oh, everyone in a big country has got a story. And they're all chained. Not here in New Zealand. We've given up on our dreams. We're just politely going through life, not wanting to make a fuss.

So I listened to that over the weekend and I was like, oh man, that's a podcast intro. They do it every time and that's the same, you know,

they mix it up a little bit but it's the same format and I'm like, oh. Let's do it. Let's do it. No, we can't do it. They do it well.

We need to find our own thing. I like our meandering sort of, we don't know where we're going. Just five minutes of banter at the beginning. So maybe they would listen to us and they'd go,

oh, it's so good because they just kind of meandered. Maybe we should make it up as we go along. Yeah. We've kind of got this cool sort of like what up sort of thing going on. I reckon we come in unprepared. Anyway, I had a fun show this morning. We had the winner for the inaugural, the first annual. It's going to be annual.

Maybe biannual depending on how much interest there is. The Most Annoying Toy Awards. We announced the winners for that, and there were some great entrants this week. There were some really good ones. We also spoke to the person who won Cash and Car, who's now over $15,000 richer and has a brand new MG. So that's pretty cool.

She was wonderful, Lucy. Yeah, have a great day. Enjoy the podcast. We've been Jono. No, no. Here's the podcast. Speaking about influence, we need your good influence right now.

We spoke to someone here at work on Friday and they were telling us a story about their friend who's a teacher. And she has one heck of a conundrum. So we were straight on the phone. We're like, hey, do you want to jeopardise your career to come on our radio show for five minutes? Turns out not many people keen to do that.

No, fair enough. Fair enough too. But it is an interesting dilemma. And so we got her to record something. We've changed her voice. So you won't know who she is. But she got to put forward her case. And we're going to put it to you guys.

And I actually feel like, you know, in the past I've gone, why would you put something like this in the hands of a radio listener? But the hits audience are actually really, really helpful. You've got great advice. No other audience we've ever broadcast to has ever been so generous, so kind. In fact, when we first started here, I was like, is this sarcasm? What is this? Everyone's really positive and everyone's good thing.

You're like, what? We're not used to it. We've come used to it now. But at the time, I'm like, oh, jeez. So I feel like this is actually, she's in safe hands here, putting this out on the airwaves today. Okay, this is her situation. Hey, guys.

I've been teaching for about 12 years now. I'm single. I was on a night out recently, and I randomly bumped into this group of men, one of whom I taught about six or seven years ago. About a week later, he messaged me on Instagram and asked me if I wanted to go out for dinner. So I'm not sure. On one hand, I'm single, he's single. It was a long time

ago. He seems like a really nice guy. He's an accountant. But on the other hand, I know that a lot of other teachers would frown upon it. So I'm wondering what to do. Do I go for it and risk being the gossip of the staff room? Or do I steer well clear and protect my reputation? There we go. So that's the situation. I tell you what, you put a voice disguiser on anyone, it makes them sound far more sinister than they actually are. We did it for her benefit, but it doesn't...

Yeah, her original voice is sweet. We've turned her into an evil supervillain somehow. But that's the situation. She's in her 30s. A former student who now has gone through school in his early 20s has asked her out on a date. She kind of fancies him. What do you do?

Ben Boyce, the ball is in your court. I'm going, no. I'm going, no. I'm going, no. It's just, and I know there's nothing, well, as far as I know, there's nothing legally wrong with this. That's what I think is the law, but you know, because both are grown adults and stuff,

but I just feel, it feels weird. The situation feels weird. As far, listen, as far as I know, there's nothing in the teacher's playbook that says teachers can't date students. Yes, there is. Maybe I should read the teacher's playbook. Yeah.

But yeah, in this case, they're both full of, you know, they're adults. He's in his 20s, so she's in the 30s. But yeah, it just feels weird to me. And do you want to put yourself through all that with people going, oh, gosh, I know you shouldn't care what other people think, but just to start a relationship, you know, if they'd fallen in love and then worked it out later, maybe, at this stage they haven't fallen in love, it's probably easier in my opinion just to let it go and move on. Stay away from the unnecessary gossip.

Yeah. Why create that for yourself? But you can ride that out. You can, you're right. If you like him, do it. You're allowed to. Nothing legally wrong with it. Yeah.

Yeah, I can get your point. There's been that hierarchy in the past where teachers, students situation. Yeah. But they're both through that now. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. She both through that now. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. She wants to do that.

Oh, 800 the hits. This is where we need to get you involved because we're split down the middle. Juliet, we'll get your thoughts on it next. Okay, I won't throw you under the bus right now because I know you hadn't been thinking of thoughts. I actually do have some thoughts. Oh. I do.

I can hear her thoughts next and yours. Oh, 800 the hits. In the middle at the moment of a dilemma, we've got a teacher who's a friend of a friend of someone here at work. They've got a dilemma. The situation is she's in her 30s, bumped into a former student in his 20s out in town. He's asked her out on a date. She kind of likes him. What does she do?

Ben, you're in the no camp. Yeah, I just feel like, yeah, it seems a bit odd to me. I don't feel like she needs to put herself through all that. And so I'm like, yeah, no. It's not worth the side eyes and the glances from the colleagues you're saying. But yeah,

but they're the same breath. I always say, you know, like I don't care what other people think, you know, you shouldn't base your life on that. But I think in this situation

they haven't fallen in love just, but it's probably better just to stay clear. You're dating a teacher. How's the teacher community with you guys? Yeah,

but that's different. I wasn't a student or anything like that. So they're okay. Oh, so teachers are allowed to see people. They're allowed to see people, yes. Isn't it so bad when you're at school and you see your teacher outside of school?

Isn't that the worst moment? It's almost up there with calling your teacher mum. Did you ever do that? Oh, yes. What a shame. Listen, if you want my not-so-professional opinion, I'm going to say go for it. However, when you're at a party and someone asks,

how did you two meet? Try not to say, well, he was my student. That's the thing. It's a mood killer. If you want to dance around that, then maybe you shouldn't be. We'll get Dion on from Waimati. Welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast. Dion, what do you reckon?

What's your advice for her? I think no. I just feel if she dates a former student it'll then put her in that state of mind to think that it's okay with current and new students. Nothing legally wrong as far as we're aware that a former

student, they're both grown adults, it does feel a bit odd, doesn't it? Yeah, exactly. I just feel that if she does then she'll start looking at the new students that way. And it's probably a two-year thing. Oh, yeah, yeah. All right, maybe this is a conversation we don't want to have.

It's a gateway date. That's what they say. I don't know. I don't know. Quite going quite as far as a... All right. Good on you, Dion. Thank you very much.

Lucy. Lucy is a teacher. It'd be interesting to get your thoughts on this in New Plymouth, Luce. What do you reckon? Just stay the hell away from that. Don't even think about touching it. When you're at Teachers College, they teach you how strict it is. Don't even chance it.

It's not worth it. There's so many other fish in the sea. You're not in love with them. Like Finn said, you're not in love head over heels. So just don't even touch it. There's so many other fish in the sea. You're not in love with them. Like Finn said, you're not in love head over heels. So just don't even touch it. I feel the same way. I think you're right on that one, Lucy. There's other students from other schools she can date. Is that what you're saying?

Plenty more fish in the sea? When everyone was a student once. Fish in the sea, just make sure that you... Come on. Sorry, Lucy, to talk over you. What is the actual ruling there? So what would the teachers' council say if this were to go ahead? Because they're both, you know, adults. It's one of those, it's that grey area.

Like, you just don't, just don't touch it. Like. Yeah, no, fair enough. Don't touch it. Okay, don't touch it. I get your point, Lucy. I totally agree. He's got, like, his mates and what if his siblings are still in school?

It's just a strange situation. Don't touch it. Now, Juliet, you've got a great opinion. Thank you, Lucy. You really appreciate that. What do you reckon? Well, so he's in his early 20s, right? And as a woman in her early 20s,

I know what guys in their early 20s are like. And if he's out in town with a bunch of his mates, I bet you it would have been a thing of like, oh I bet you I can get my old teacher on a date and it was like a lad encouraging lad situation. Conquest! Maybe one of those situations. Maybe, I don't know. That's just what I would

speculate. It's an interesting theory. 100% of people on the text and the phones have said, don't touch it. Stay away. I guess it's probably not worth the hassle, Ben. Well, yeah, as I say, if they'd fallen in love and all that sort of stuff and then gone later,

I don't know why they wouldn't have known that. Why are you doing this role play? Why are we here right now? Where are you going with this? Shut up, Ben. That's what I should be doing. Anyway, thank you very much for your calls and texts. As per great advice from the hits there. Paid to talk words and stuff into a microphone.

It's New Zealand's breakfast. Jono and Ben on the hits. Now, I was talking the other day about notes. Notes have become a thing in our household that everyone writes passive-aggressive notes towards each other. It's the only way you guys communicate with each other because you're never all at home at the same time. So you tell your kids you love them via notes,

tell your wife you love her via notes, you tell your wife you're leaving her via notes. Very versatile form of communication the notes, isn't it? That's right. My daughters love, they actually really love leaving notes. They left one for me in my lunchbox today when I woke up this morning, got a little note. But I also

like the other day because... Because they pack your lunch too, if you're not aware of this. Indy packs her... What did she pack you today, mate? Just snacks today because I'm going to go home and have lunch. I think a banana and a mandarin and a muesli bar and stuff all ready to go. Does she make you sandwiches? If I wanted to, she would make me a sandwich.

I wouldn't trust a kid's sandwich though. Oh, my girls. No, I definitely would trust. Absolutely. Absolutely. Indy, like, yeah, she'll bake something. She'll like, I don't need your help. She'll sit there.

I'll be on my computer. She'll bake a whole cookies and stuff like that. Bake cookies? Yeah, I'm like, oh, sweet. You've got some chefs as doers. She's like, oh, yeah. I'm like, cool, you want me to help you? She's like, no, I'd rather you didn't.

No, I'm the one that messes things up in that situation. Yeah. But she will, yeah, but as you say, there was a note on one of the cupboards. A man and my wife, if you take something from here, put it back. It was a bit of a note, a bit of a stark note that was sitting on a cupboard. And there's all our stationery and bits and pieces and stuff. And so last night, Sienna was working hard on replacing.

She's like, I'd like to replace this note with something that looks a little brighter. I'm like, yeah, okay. But still the same message. Still take something, put it back. It's kind of threatening. Yeah, so if you take something from the cupboard, take something, put it back. It's kind of threatening. Yeah. So if you take something from the cupboard, make sure you put it back.

So this morning when I woke up, because I had gone to bed when they were still doing that, I noticed there was a brand new note. Lovely colours, all sort of hearts and flowers and rainbows. If you take something from this cupboard, put it back. And I'm like, oh, that's so good that this message is a bit nicer, but better delivered. And then I looked down at the desk in front of it and there was everything from the cupboard that she'd taken out to make the note she didn't even put that

I was like the irony of making a note for like for how long she was making a note there was like felts with lids off there was like it was basically glue I don't know what glue was used for there was everything well you can put another note now with an arrow pointing to the stuff left. Yeah, go this.

You go this. You mean this? This. I was like, there's scrap bits of paper. There's everything. I was like, this is just a, it's like you made a note for the cupboard. Why did you not put all this stuff back? I'm like, yeah.

You like leaving stuff in piles though. So what would you do with now that that's left out? Would you just put it in a nice tidy pile? I'll put it away, but it'd probably be in the wrong place. But for me, at least it's away. It'll be in the wrong place. My wife was always like, where's my singlet? I don't know. It's looking at your t-shirts. It's away. It's away. Yeah, it's in the toilet.

It's away, okay. Real Kiwi blokes with soy lattes. Mmm. Shono and Ben, breakfast on the hits. Well, we've got Sons of Zion in the studio with Jackson Owens. They've got a new single, Love on the Run. Nice to see you guys.

How's it going? Hey, yeah, good to see you guys too. Thanks for having us. We were just talking off air that you are stationed in corners all over the North Island and that you convene once a month to make music. Yeah, pretty much. You know, that's family lives these days. So, yeah, I live in Ngaruawahia.

Jackson lives in Rotorua. Matt's the only Aucklander at the moment. And that's family lives these days. So, yeah, I live in Ngaruawahia. Jackson lives in Rotorua. Matt's the only Aucklander at the moment. And Sam's in Pukki. Yeah, Matt's the only one paying too much for houses and stuck in traffic. Because when you first started, did you guys have a garage? Was that when you used to record a lot of you? Yeah, we just had a Sam's garage. And I was reading also that it was obviously quite tough because you guys were all working.

So, you know, even Skidgen concerts concerts you'd have people arriving halfway through a concert yeah my boss hated me because just leave you know just so much annual leave was used you know during those years of uh working and doing concerts and stuff pretty grateful now to have this as our full-time so this is full-time now it's full-time and it's gone so well i mean so many singles over the last few years i mean it must be kind of cool you still get a buzz hearing your songs on the radio? Oh, for sure. You know, you never take it for granted. You know, I think when we do go away and we don't see each other for a little while

and then we come back, I think that's when we kind of really appreciate like, oh, wow, actually our song's been going mean for the last month. And we kind of get back on that buzz of like, well, let's do it again. Let's write another song. And we kind of have to as well.

Otherwise our bills don't get paid. You're like, this is a full-time gig now. What were you guys doing before it was a full-time gig? I was a stormman for Air New Zealand for about nine years. What does a stormman do? Watch YouTube videos, bro. Yeah, nice job, just watch YouTube all night, you know. I used to just deliver aircraft all night, you know.

I used to just deliver aircraft parts to the engineers to fix the planes. Weren't you like the highest internet usage of the whole company? Yeah, I was. He actually was, bro. Actual printed out. I just got an email from saying I was in the top 10 of the entire company of Air New Zealand for internet usage. Thank you. I don't know if it's a good thing. It wasn't COVID that hurt Air New Zealand for internet usage. Thank you. I don't know if it's a good thing. It wasn't COVID that hurt New Zealand.

Now, Jackson, you've been performing at Sons of Zion for a while. Is that right? Yeah, yeah, for about a year and a half now. It's been awesome. Done some shows that I've never thought of doing, like Dream, you know. So the boys are quite, the boys, I'm just, they got me on board and get to be on a song now, so that's pretty much it. Because you've got a really interesting story.

Your path to this, your journey so far has been really interesting online, on YouTube and Instagram. Yeah, yeah, just through YouTube, posting covers and stuff, and then I sort of went to America for a bit, joined the band over there. Yeah, because there was a guy from, he was a producer from the Backstreet Boys or something, and I worked with NSYNC and stuff. he sort of got in touch with you from your youtube videos yeah yeah just through my um youtube he hit me up and done that for a while but did you think it was a scam when that happened yeah i thought so i was this guy but it was legit

yeah it was um we went i went over there but then sort of had no creative direction and I couldn't really do much. Just had to sort of do the music that they put in front of me which wasn't me. So I ended up leaving that and yeah. Now he has to do the music that we tell him to do. Well you have an amazing voice, particularly in this new single that you guys are going to play it for us. What's the story behind the single? Yeah, young love I think it's puppy love That a lot of older people look down on

Young love as just It's not going to last We've all been through it Trust me son It'll go away soon But this is just writing about No, you're wrong It's going to last

We're going to prove it and we're going to run away and be together forever kind of vibes. Oh, awesome guys. And you're going to make Jackson sing it the way they told you. Oh yes. Sons of Zion, we've got Jackson Owens with them right now. It's a new single called Love on the Run. Here it is right now on the hits. I heard them say we're too young And it was all just for fun

But we both know the truth This is where we belong I'm sick of holding my tongue They're treating us like we're dumb But when we make it through We gonna prove tomorrow So we should run away, run away, run away as fast as we can Cause no one else understands

That is Sons of Zion and Jackson Owen. It's their brand new single, the acoustic version of their single. It is out now. It's called Love on the Run. Thanks for coming in guys. Add these two men together and somehow you get three quarters worth of a normal man. The hits with Jono and Ben for breakfast. There's something, I don't know if you guys do this, but I have been guilty of this from time to time

and I've noticed a few people doing it to me of late, is if you're meant to be somewhere and you're there and someone's not, you often get a text saying, oh, sorry, five minutes away. Now, five minutes, it's never five minutes. No, five minutesys you a 15 minute Buffer zone You save five So it doesn't make

You look incompetent And it gives the person You're texting False hope Oh they'll be there Just five away Yeah But everyone knows

It's not five Well yeah Because we were there The other day We were doing something At work And someone texted her Going sorry five minutes away

And the person Who read the text Was like oh such and such Is five minutes away and we both looked at each other and they're like they're not they're not they're gonna be more than five minutes and we looked at the clock and when they arrived we're like yeah they were they were definitely a lot longer than five minutes but it's nice you're right it's nice to say five minutes away even though you're not going to be five minutes away i like it i i appreciate it too and i have sympathy for these people who are running five minutes late because I'm very,

I'm shocking at forecasting how long something's going to take. You know, like travel time, parking a car. Yeah. Well, parking's another good one too. That buys you a little bit of time. Sometimes you can do five minutes away and then you go, oh, just parking. There's another 10.

There's another 10. Because that can be quite hard to find a parking outside. But then you sort of go well this park's out the front why are you like okay i'm still not quite there i saw something and i can't remember where i saw it but um you know how if you're saying oh sorry i'm running late whether it's personal or professional in a work environment or whatever um the word late has negative connotations but to sound more professional if you're running late you can say sorry i'm running a bit behind schedule.

And it makes you sound a bit more onto it, rather than actually just being useless. I respect you more now, even with just you saying that. I know. Busy schedule. I understand you're a busy schedule. Behind schedule. It's great. We have a friend, Andy, who likes to be overly specific with his timings. Andy Robbins, he'll be like, I'm seven minutes away. Yeah.

Seven minutes away. He never says that, right? No, but I suppose seven minutes buys you the time between five and ten minutes, doesn't it? So you might not arrive at seven, but you've still got that ten minute buffer zone. But you sound like you're a lot more organised than you actually are when you give a specific minuteage. Exactly. I don't know why it works

in five minute increments. I don't know why we've all become accustomed to that. Guy Williams,s who we used to do a tv show with his one was uh just on ponsonby road which is the road in auckland uh that he would have to trip well i don't even think he lived near there but he would just say that he was on ponsonby road no matter where we were filming and that was his way of sort of saying i'm on my way i could be five minutes away yes i'm just on ponsonby road oh that's great. We're in Palmerston North. So how far away are you? I also want to raise this like, how long in minuteage does a tick buy you? See you in a tick?

Oh, yeah. Or a couple of ticks? What are we getting there? Like, what leeway does that get you? Oh, true. Yeah, you're right, actually. What is it? People say a jiffy.

See you in a jiffy? Yeah. See you in two sex, but like two sex has literally got done by the time you say it. Yeah, you're right, actually. What is it? People say jiffy. See you in a jiffy? Yeah. See you in two secs. But like two secs has literally got done by the time you say it. Yeah, I know. Kids don't understand that. Kids take it literally. I'll be two secs and they'll be like, one, two.

And you're like, no, it means I'm probably going to be two hours. Even a minute. I'll be there in a minute. They're like, well, it's been a minute. Yeah, five words, $5,000. That is five minutes away. That's the hits you got, Jono and Ben. See you in a minute. They're like, well, it's been a minute. Yeah, five words, $5,000. That is five minutes away. She got John on bed. See you in a tick. The A to Z of New Zealand.

We're calling every town and city in New Zealand. We're doing it alphabetically and we're slowly working our way around New Zealand learning about each place as we go. Today we are heading to Miller's Flat, which is located in Land Otago, in Land Otago. Only 200 people live in Miller's Flat which is located in Land Otago in Inland Otago

only 200 people live in Miller's Flat which makes me wonder you know what are those people hiding from that's what I always think about these very small

remote locations and they've got a school of 25 students which then makes me wonder why bother just like you to let YouTube teach them or something

you know it's a lot of effort to teach just 25 people we're going to go through right now to Miller's Flat Millennial Max know, it's a lot of effort to teach just 25 people. We're going to go through right now to Miller's Flat Millennial Max. I think it's teed up the pub, local pub. Miller's Flat Tavern. Is this the Miller's Flat Tavern?

This is. For a tavern, you're open at an unusually early hour. Well, no, we're not actually open yet, but I do live on site, so we always answer the phone, Miller's Flat Tavern. Well, no, we're not actually open yet, but I do live on site, so we always answer the phone. Melissa at cabin. Oh, right. So what if, you know, your sister's phoning up? Melissa at cabin.

Oh, I guess you would, and then she'll go, hi, it's your sister, yeah. Are there times where you just want to answer hello? Yeah, there's times I actually don't want to answer. There's one of those times you don't want to answer now? What is your name? I'm Lucy McConway. Hey, Lucy McConway.

Lovely to talk to you. We're Jono and Ben. Now, we're ringing every place in New Zealand. We're doing it alphabetically, and today we've landed on Millers Flat. Oh, cool. Millers Flat. It's sort of like halfway between Queenstown and Dunedin.

Oh, wow. And the tavern is on State Highway 8, but there's this really cool blue bridge, and if you go across the bridge, there's this lovely little community. Oh, lovely. Now, 200 people live in Miller's flat. Yeah.

Very small. Millennial Max, our producer, has actually been there with his family, and he went to a party where everyone got naked. Oh, okay. I wasn't there. I don't know if that's... Is that a local custom or is that just a... No, he's obviously from out of town.

Oh, and then he came to your pub, not naked, fully clothed. Oh, fantastic. He wouldn't be allowed in if he was naked. And said it was wonderful. Oh, thank you. Had a hearty lunch. I imagine your meals would be very hearty. Oh, they are.

Good country feats. Now, did you realise I've discovered there's a Miller's Flat song? Yes, there is. I've got there's a Miller's Flat song? Yes, there is. I've got it here. Blue and Black, yeah. Yeah, they've got a song. For a town of only 200 people, there's an official anthem. Oh, really? that's fast and true. A camping ground just made for you. Three rugby grounds, a village hall.

An opera singer and that's not all. There's a garage and a pub and a bridge that's painted blue. And Miller's way, Miller's way, Miller's way. There we go. Sing along if you know the words. Well, I don't. That's cool. That's kind of cool.

I kind of felt like I learned about the town. Bowling green, the circle of three rugby fields. Yeah. A blue bridge, which you just gave a shout out to as well. Yeah, there's quite a few. I mean, we've got our own local fire department, which is run by volunteers. Oh, wow.

Listen, what more do you need in a town? The only thing I would suggest would be clothes at a party. I agree. Maybe that's in the second verse of the song. We didn't get that far through. When we party, we're but naked. Just looking at the bridge, it's very cool. The blue bridge, it's sort of got a big circular

sort of archways. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's quite historic. It was built in the late 1800s. Yeah, no, that's actually a truss bridge design. I know way too much about bridges because my son's doing a school project on them at the moment. Fantastic.

Well, you should come down and visit the Miller's Flat Bridge. Yeah, definitely one of the more popular designs of bridges you'll find around the world. Absolutely. Suspension bridge is another one. The Golden Gate's a suspension bridge. And am I putting everyone to sleep talking about types of bridges? A little bit.

I want to build a bridge, literally, and get over this conversation. Hey, listen, you have been an absolute superstar. If we're ever in Miller's Flat, you know what we're going to do? We're going to come to the tavern.

We're going to come to the tavern. You can actually buy the tavern because we're about to put it on the market. Oh, we can buy the tavern. There you go, John. That could be our business venture. You've had enough. We want to get out of the tavern game. Oh, buy the tavern because we're about to put it on the market. Oh, we can buy the tavern. There you go, Jono. That could be our business venture. You've had enough. We want to get out

of the tavern game. Oh, yeah, and we've got a little house and we're going to stay in Miller's Flat. Oh, you're not leaving? No, okay. Oh, no.

It's a nicer place down here. Are you just sick of answering the phone Miller's Flat Tavern? Is that the reason for the move? Oh, that's good. If you want to buy a tavern,

head to Miller's Flat. Absolutely. Have a great day. Thank you so much for your time. Okay, cheers. Thank you. Jono and Ben on the hits. Friends of Skinny with the latest phones on low-cost mobile plans.

Happy. Previously with Stace, Mike and Anika Moore. Anika, she was waiting for her finalist category in order for her to win a radio award. I know, but all I was thinking about was the armrest wars. Mike was one of the hosts, and he was nervous about it, and I said, look, just remember, radio people are so self-obsessed. 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. Morning, and now Cash in the Car is something we've been banging on about for quite some time here on the hits,

but a fantastic competition to win, well, Cash in a Car. I thought it was going to be the intro there. Oh, you won't play the intro? There we go. We got a brand new MG SUV with Cash in the back. I'm just glad we don't have to hear, Shut up and drive. I wanted to hear it one more time

because on Friday afternoon, it was won. Now, Lucy from Wellington guessed the exact cent, the amount of cash that was in the back of the brand new MG SUV. And that means she won cash in a car and it was a pretty awesome moment. With a guess of $15,981.92. Lucy? Mm-hmm. It is correct.

Oh, no! Yeah! Lucy, you've won. Cash and car. I'm almost like crying. Yes. Gee, that's a wonderful winner. Champagne radio winner.

That's what we dream of. That's what gets me out of bed every morning, Ben. A winner like that. But we're going to catch up with Lucy later on this morning. Bee Humps, our producer, phoned her yesterday to make sure she was right to chat. And she said she gave her credit card a good old punishing on Saturday night. Well, if you imagine you would, though. You've just won, what, $15,000 and a new car.

You'd be like, let's celebrate. A lot of partying. You can't celebrate those things. What can you celebrate? Courtney Place is going to take years to recover from the partying that Lucy did to it on Saturday night. Anyway, we'll catch up with her after 8 o'clock this morning. Scrolling through your feed.

This is where we look at some of the big news that's happening overnight and over the last couple of days. And the New Zealand government has plans to help lower New Zealand's emissions. Now this involves a new rule around electric cars. So drivers who buy new electric and hybrid cars from July 1st, which is not so far away, get rebates. You get money. You get $8,700 back for a new electric car or plug-in hybrid car. And about $3,500 for used cars. So, yeah, they're giving you some money back.

What are they going to do with all the batteries? The batteries from electric vehicles. There's going to be an abundance of them. You won't be able to recycle those, will you? Only the ones that have been used. Yeah. Oh, I'm not sure. Because remember I spouted off that fake propaganda

that the fire service were trembling in their fire boots because they didn't think they could put out the fires of electric cars because, you know, being electric they can't spray water on it. But that was complete lies. That was complete lies. And some sloppy broadcasting on my part to get that misinformation out there. Fake news.

Yeah, but it's interesting the way forward in the future because if you buy a petrol vehicle from January next year, you're going to have to pay a fee. So you get money given back to you for electric cars, but if you buy a petrol vehicle for next year, you'll be paying basically $5,875. On top of the cost of the vehicle? Well, that's what it says in here.

Really? Those buying imported cars pay $2,875. So yeah, I guess they're encouraging as the way of the future to lower the emission. But that's based around the emissions of the car.

So cars with low emissions and petrol won't actually have that much. What are they trying to do? Save the environment? I don't know. Crazy. So my old man,

John Pryor, is very invested in the transfer over to electric vehicles. Right. He reckons 2030 will all be electric. Oh, yeah. Which is not far off.

And it's not far off if we're talking about this year already getting money back. Would you drive an electric car? Yeah, absolutely. I've been thinking about it. Yeah, recently, yeah. Or a hybrid. Because what's really the downside of an electric car? Is there a downside of an electric car?

I guess they're a bit more expensive at the moment, it seems to be, but it depends on how big it is. How long does a battery last for before you have to plug it in again? I think that would be the niggle, wouldn't it? Having to charge it. Mind you, we bought three days.

300 case. That's not bad. Yeah, that's pretty good. We had a rental electric car, it only took 20 minutes to charge, remember? That's right. And we were stressing about it all day, we were like we haven't charged the car, no one's charged the car, it's gonna take hours. Cause you think it's like a phone, you're like I gotta plug it in overnight and stuff like that, but it doesn't necessarily have to.

So there you go. There we go. Well that's, they're very creepy though electric cars aren't they? I can't hear them coming. Well, maybe that's good. It's maybe because we're just used to loud, obnoxious cars. A Prius. A Prius is a very creepy vehicle.

You can stalk well in a Prius, couldn't you? You couldn't tell us. Remember, I used to have an old car from the 70s. It would literally drip petrol out of the exhaust pipe. I know. You couldn't be driving around that now. It'd be like a trail of gasoline along the road. Those are the good old days.

Those days are over. Breathing the good old days. Those days are over. Breathe in the carbon monoxide. Those days are over. And that is scrolling to your feed this morning. We've got Shelley Ferguson. She's one of the judges on the block. New Zealand are with us next. And if you're thinking about doing any interior designing in your own home,

she has some do's and don'ts for you. To everyone pulling a sickie today, you're not fooling anyone. Jono and Ben, breakfast on the hits. It's quite possibly one of the biggest reality shows there has been for many years on New Zealand television. The home renovation show The Block New Zealand returns. Na na na na na. Na na na na na. Love that theme tune.

We couldn't find the actual theme tune so we had to do it with our mouths. Couldn't tell. And joining us in the studio right now, she's one of the judges. She's an interior designer. Shelly Ferguson, how's it going? Good to have you here. the judges. She's an interior designer, Shelley Ferguson. How's it going? Good to have you here. Hi, guys.

How are you? We're doing all right. Now, when you came in, we felt, because you're obviously an interior designer, we felt a little bit like, oh, we need to just tidy up the place a little bit. I noticed it was a little bit bachelor paddy for my liking. Does it smell like a stag do in here or something? It stinks in here. Oh, that's not good.

Have you heard of a diffuser before? No. Have you heard of a diffuser? Because I haven't. I'll drop you one in. Do you find that, though, when people come over to your house, do you feel a bit of pressure to make sure everything's looking good? And the hilarious thing is I just moved into a leaky home that needs a reclad. When did you discover it was a leaker?

Oh, we knew it was a leaker. Oh, you knew you were moving into a leaker, yeah We got a bit of a land value bargain on it Right So we knew we have to do a big once over on it Don't know when that's going to be That sounds fun, renovating a leaker Yeah

And living in it at the same time Yeah, well it's pretty safe at the moment So they said it's all good But it's a bit embarrassing Because they have people over Here's my dated, you know, 90s leaky home. She's a block. Come on in.

Yeah. You know, we lived in a leaker for a while too, and it was so leaky that you'd step on the kitchen tiles and water would squirt through the grouting. Oh, no. Yeah. Sometimes half a metre, I'd jump on it and it'd be like. Oh, that's a shocker.

Crazy, yeah. Anyway, we're not here to talk about leakers. Well, the block homes won't be leaky homes. Well, that's a niceer. Crazy, yeah. Anyway, we're not here to talk about leakers. Well, the block homes won't be leaky homes. Well, that's a nice segue. How did it work with the block? Because it started filming last year. Yes. And then COVID, obviously.

We were so into it. We were all go. We'd started pretty recently and then as the rest of New Zealand. And then that was it. Tools down. We didn't go back. Tools down, all right. And then how long until tools were back didn't go back yeah tools down all right and then well how long how long until tools were back up a year a year a year geez so I was sitting

there going oh my goodness you know maybe someone's I don't know had a divorce or yeah the contestants pregnant or had a facelift yeah put on a bit of lockdown weight yeah no continuity but all the contestants stayed relatively... It's been pretty consistent. It's been pretty consistent. Great. Because a lot of stuff can happen in a year. That's right.

Yeah. And Ben, well done on saying Patool's up convincingly as well. The building lingo, he's got it. He can blend in on site. What's the hardest block challenge having to work with Mark Richardson? Absolutely. I actually, I don't see him. I've requested, we're not on set at the same time.

No, he's a good bugger. He's really hard on them. I'm like the mother hen. I try and, because these guys are novices, you know, and a lot of the time they've never done it before. So yeah, he's in there cracking the whip, which is exactly what they need. So what you see on television, I'm always like,

do they go and stay in a hotel or something? No. Or are they actually living, they're living on the building site? No. Like the first few weeks are the most full on because they get there

and this thing is just wrapped. There's no windows in, right? No cladding. And it's freezing. Well, it's the middle of winter now. Yeah. Yes. So it's really hardcore.

They're never staying off site. They're there the whole time. And I think... Do they get paid? No. No, they don't get paid. I guess they do it to hopefully make money on the auction. Correct. It's a hell of a gamble. It's a big gamble. It's just been

going off in the last year. They're really cool houses so I'm really excited to see the auction and hope for some awesome results. Well it's on tonight on 3 and of course it's going to be this year. It's going to be on demand a bit earlier, right? It's on demand. So you can actually watch the show earlier, like at midday, before the TV episode that night.

So if the kids need to go to bed earlier, you can just watch it on demand. There's so many shows. It feels like the block's on nine nights a week. You must be in the trenches filming that thing. Because the thing is they film through the night as well because often these guys are up till 4 a.m. painting. So they've done a really good job, these teams, of getting used to the TV machine as well

because every time you think you're getting somewhere, it's like, guys, we need you. Now we've got Shelly Ferguson from The Block. It starts tonight on three. Let's say a fully grown adult's got a lounge and in the lounge she's got some figurines, maybe some Toy Story, some Simpsons. Boys, you have figurines.

Let's say he's got some shells of figurines. What's your thoughts as a fully grown adult having those in the lounge? Straight to the games room, people. Straight to the games room. You and my wife are getting on so well. Yeah, you can have those figurines on the telly. They keep disappearing. They keep disappearing.

I'm like, where do they go? If they give you joy, you have to have them somewhere in the house. They do give me joy. This started out as a hypothetical person. Now it's become really personal. Yeah, I got quite somewhere in the house. Well, it did give me joy. You should. This started out as a hypothetical person. Now it's become really personal. Yeah, I got quite involved in the character. I'll prove this person wise. Is this hypothetical person a seven and a half year old boy?

No, it's a method acting. If you were a Simpsons character, who would it be? Oh, jeez. Mr. Burns. Jono would be Mr. Burns. Yeah, I'm Mr. Burns. Who would you be? You'd be like like I don't know

Who's the guy Who works at the power plant With Homer Or Lenny Lenny Lenny Lenny Lenny

The smiling old Lenny You could be Lisa You could be Lisa Shelley Yeah I was just going to say Or I reckon Marge has got a cool undertone That I'm yet to see come out Yeah

Yeah well yeah And I'd have a bit of fun with that. What about the design of the Simpsons house? That's timeless. That is an example of designing for your personality, isn't it? And every time they're driving a car through that wall, every week they repair it. Whoever does the plastering in that house does a great job.

Hey, Shelley Ferguson, lovely to chat with you again. You too, guys. Always fun hanging out. Catch The Block on three tonight, and also it's going to be on three now as well from midday. We apologise in advance. Sorry about that. Sorry about that.

I'm sorry to rope you into this. Sorry you've been dragged into this. Shono and Penn, breakfast on the heads. The heads. The heads. Are you a fan of the UFC? Do you watch UFC? Oh, it's very...

I respect what they do, but it's very brutal. It can be very hard to watch sometimes. Like they're literally drenched in each other's blood by the end of the fight. Like, full respect for what they do, but wow, sometimes you're like, ooh, ooh. Anyway, Israel Adesanya, who fights out of New Zealand,

but Nigerian-born Israel, he won again yesterday. That's awesome. He is awesome. He is probably the biggest superstar we've got in New Zealand. Yeah, absolutely. And Brad Riddell, too, another New Zealander, who fights out of the same gym. They had a win at the UFC, and they dedicated their fight, obviously, to their gym mate, Falvake, who tragically died a couple of weeks ago.

Yeah, that's horrible. Being coward-punched in the city. So they had something bigger to fight for yesterday, but one of my favourite moments yesterday of the fights, you know, the prelude, how they wind each other up at the press conference. Oh, they're so good at it too. It's like theatrics, isn't it?

Yeah. And Israel and his opponent, a guy from Italy, going at each other. But, you know, they got into that stage where they're just talking over each other and you can't understand who's saying what. It's like this radio show. Name three top ten opponents you've beat. Name.

Listen, I showed up every single fucking time. Exactly! You ain't got shit. I showed up every single fucking time. I can tell you who I beat all you know who I beat. I can tell you who I beat all you know who I beat. It's my fault, man. Hey man, I'm the narrative in your career. I run your. You tried to look at me.

You tried to look at me. You tried me now. What are you gonna do? What are you gonna do? Do it again! It's like, it reminds me of the schoolyard at lunchtime, you know? Two people winding each other up. Well, it worked anyway for Israel. And do you know, Ben Boyce, too, it's been a dream of ours, of this show,

to get you noticed by your hero, Dwayne The Rock Johnson. Yes. Now, a New Zealander has been noticed by Dwayne the Rock Johnson. Yeah, that's not me. It could be you. That's not me. It would be a weird segue given we're talking about Israel right now. Yeah. But it could be you. Here's what Dwayne the Rock Johnson had to say about

maybe you. You don't get to decide. I get to decide. Because while I'm a motherf***ing kid. I didn't know about it, brother. Love you so. Proud of you. That's pretty awesome because he used the same theme music at the end that The Rock used to use, I think. Yeah, so he's like, you didn't know about it, Rock.

And The Rock's watching going, I didn't know about it, but I love you. And it was awesome. Now, that might not have been about Israel. That might have been about you. I love you, Uso. He might have been saying that about Ben Boyce while watching the UFC. He was clearly watching.

So dream achieved? No. You can't prove he wasn't talking about you. No, I can't. It was on his Instagram. He's clearly watching Israel on screen. I'm not giving up on the dream. I've already made his dream come true just then. And he wants more. It is 6.15. We've got some Spy Entertainment up on the dream. I've already made a dream come true just then. Anyone's more?

It is 6.50. We've got some Spy Entertainment news on the way. Spy. The what's up. Spy.co.nz. Here is a collection of stories, personal stories about celebrities who would probably prefer that we didn't discuss them in public, but we plough on anyway. So, legendary former All Black Dan Carter and his wife, former Black Six player Anna Carter. I thought he was just the Chemist Warehouse dude.

I didn't realise he played rugby. Did you? Oh, yeah. Before the Chemist Warehouse ads, he was a rugby player. The Chemist Warehouse guy was a rugby player? Yeah, a very good rugby player. It's like Stephen Fleming, the... The heat pump guy.

Yeah, that guy. What did he do? I had a conversation with my kids, actually. I was watching cricket over the summer and one of them was like, that's the heat pump guy. And I was like, yeah, well, he was a cricketer before he was the heat pump guy. Heat pump guy. It's funny when you're like that generation, no idea he was a cricketer.

All they know is that he's a heat pump guy. And he's done a great job of selling those heat pumps. He does. He likes to keep your home fresh and healthy. But Dan and Omicata have announced the birth of their fourth child, another boy, meaning they've now got four boys in their family. This new baby is called Cruz Charles Carter. He was born on Thursday last week, joining Marco, Fox and Rocco.

That's some cool names, eh? Yeah, really cool names. And they've said the fourth time is just as special as the first, second and third and used the hashtag building a back line. I tell you what those chemist warehouse vitamins are working a treat obviously do you think

they went for the girl do you think they went we've got three boys let's have one more crack at a girl maybe or maybe

they just wanted four true if I was on I'd be like are you serious what's your family made up of so

I've got a sister and a brother my mum is actually one of five and she up of? So I've got a sister and a brother. My mum is actually one of five, and she's the eldest, and they've got four girls. And so her parents went for a fifth and were like, oh, gosh, if we're going to get another girl. But they had a boy. So they've got four girls and one boy.

And my grandparents had six daughters. Really? Yeah, they had six daughters. Did they, you know, once you get past, you know, number four, were they just trying? I don't think so. I think they just wanted know, once you get past, you know, number four, were they just trying? I don't think so. I think they just wanted a, it's back in the day, big family. They just loved making love.

Ben's grandparents, prolific. Rabbit. Rabbit. That's amazing. Dan Carter said, you know, the fourth is just as special as the first. It's a lovely thing to say, but it's not true. It has to be. You leave the third and just as special as the first. It's a lovely thing to say, but it's not true. It has to be. You leave the third and fourth to fend for themselves.

Don't you find your youngest is a lot more resilient? Really? Well, because I think when you first have one, Ben Humphrey, our producer, Ben Humphrey, will be going through this at the moment. Every time they, like, just move or don't move, you're like, oh, they're dead, and you want to rush them to A&E, you know?

Oh, no. But that's what you do. It's a first-time period. You don't know what you're doing. You probably worked out a few more things, you're right, oh, they're dead and you want to rush them to A&E, you know. Oh, no. But that's what you do. It's a first time period. You don't know what you're doing. You probably worked out a few more things, you're right, by the second one. You're a bit more relaxed. You're like, yeah, they could drive themselves to daycare. You check out a bit. And Buckingham Palace has ditched its

never complain, never explain policy in the midst of the rift with Harry and Meghan. So if anything in the past has ever gone on with the royals, they just never really say anything. They let the headlines form. They let the headlines die. People believe what they want.

But now, the Queen and royals will be able to publicly release statements to correct any false information about themselves. And this has come about since, so when Harry and Meghan

announced the birth of their daughter, Lilibet Diana, reports came out that the Queen wasn't consulted on the name Lilibet because it's, of course, her nickname. But the Queen has said, well, no, you know, I'm going to change this rule now so that we can come forward and say,

no, this is incorrect. I was consulted. Oh, she could smell all the royalty. I know. I'm going to tell all the Queen. I know. Put the webcam on and away she goes. All right, before I go out, I've got some stuff to say.

Queen out. I like to never complain, never explain. I thought it was a good slogan. She's going to come up with a new slogan. It is. No pain, no gain. Life has ups and downs. We call them squats or something.

I don't know. But I reckon now that this rule has been abolished, there'll be so many more, like Prince Charles might dish some goss, and there'll be a lot more royal news, I reckon. And I think for the majority of her life, you know, the internet wasn't around, social media wasn't around, so the groundswell couldn't pick up as much as maybe, you know, just a tabloid headline.

True, true. I mean, they wrote out the Diana situation. Oh, it said nothing. It said nothing. There were some vicious rumours going around about that. So, yeah, maybe social media might be the one to play. For sure. And that is Spy for More.

You can head to thehits.co.nz. Listen to me pretending like I'm an expert. I know nothing. You do know a lot, though. New Zealand's breakfast. This is Jono and Ben on The Hits. Jono, good morning. Just gone seven o'clock on your Monday morning.

Now, people often say to us, go jump in a lake. It's something that people will say to us from time to time. And we do. We do. When we go and find one, whether it's Taupo or Pupuki, we hop right in it. A Chicago bus driver last year decided he wanted to, well, you know, there was a pandemic going on. There was US elections. There was a whole lot of stuff going on.

And he was by the lake in Chicago. And he's like, you know what? I'll jump in the lake. I'll do that. And he thought he felt quite good for his stress relief. He thought every day he'll go back there and he'll jump in the lake and it'll just be time with him and the lake and that. But then he did it every day and then he got to the winter

and the lake froze over. Oh, it gets cold in Chicago. Yeah, and he had to like basically carve out bits. Oh, he still did it. Still jump in the lake and came home with like scratches from the ice and all sorts of stuff. But he did it every day. And yesterday. He died of hypothermia.

No, he went 365 straight days of jumping in the lake. So how's that? Well done him. Yeah. Yeah. Even through the winter. Sounds like Art Green. It does.

Yeah. Art Green. You do see those lovely, sweet old people who go swimming in the ocean every day. Yes. Don't you? And you're like, gee whiz, you're going to die. You're going to die, you frail old thing. When they go out there, where are they going? Oh, it keeps me young.

And they're like shivering because they're quite small and frail. They had World Ocean Day last week, didn't they? And they were like, why don't you guys go swimming in the ocean for 30 seconds? I was like, well, probably not. I like the, I'll appreciate the ocean. It's the, I can look at it. Yeah. I'll pick some rubbish up if it's sitting on the beach.

But I'm not going to go swimming in it in the middle of winter. Well, that's why there's some better people out there than us. Tony and Sam from Coast did it. Of course they did. Of course they did. Yeah, because they're better people than us. Hey, next on the show, Jono's been looking for the most annoying kids toy.

And we've got a lot of great entries over the last week. And some last minute ones that want to enter before the final. We're going to announce all of the winners in the next 20 minutes. But if you think you've got it, 0800 THE HITS. Warning, this show contains traces of Jono and Ben. The Hits with Jono and Ben for breakfast. Hey, we started looking for New Zealand's most annoying toy last week. It's been a wonderful journey.

And not to say that Lego is New Zealand's most annoying toy last week. It's been a wonderful journey and not to say that Lego is New Zealand's most annoying toy, but we've both been deep in the trenches building a 3,662 piece Lego grand piano first to finish, win 300 boxes of Lego for their respective island, North or

South Island. How are you going? I'm chipping away at it. Chipping away at it. My wife's been doing school reports so I'm like, I better get to my Lego. It feels like I've got a work project to do. I mean, Lego building, I just can't fit it into. I struggle to even

keep up with my normal day-to-day life, which is not much. But then adding a whole Lego project. It's nice though. I like it when you put on something like the Masked Singer and there was Warriors game and you're like, it's a good thing to do while the TV's on. You just kind of chip away at that. What's it you turn on the Masked you put on something like The Masked Singer and there was Warriors game and you're like, yeah, it's a good thing to do while the TV's on. You just kind of chip away at that. Well, what's it, you turn on The Masked Singer and don't watch The Masked Singer? Yeah, we kind of don't need to watch every second of The Masked Singer, do you?

No. You know, yeah, like. Because you know. I look up when they say take it off and up until then I'm just like, do you want to let go? Are you saying the show's redundant until they say take it off? I'm just saying I can hear it away, I'm enjoying it, I'm laughing away, but then I'm like, oh, it's a tuatara, I know it's done, and then I'm like, ooh, who's this? Take it off. You know, they're going to make some guesses.

Is it Barack Obama? Probably not. But, you know, Lego's still on my to-do list. Oh, come on, mate, you can do it. You can do it. It's great satisfaction when you do do it. Oh, yeah, it is. It's fun, don't get me wrong, but, you know, it's just on my to-do list. I mean, I was meant to get producer Humphrey a baby present. His baby's now 29 years old. That's just on my to-do list and yeah I mean I was meant to get producer Humphrey a baby present his baby's now 29 years old that's still on my to-do list but lemons you're

bringing us in lemons lemons that's still a bunch of do this for my lemon tree yeah uh so yeah Lego I'll try and plow through it I'm up to bag 20 oh nice oh you're almost there yeah you're doing well you're about the same as me um okay so uh yeah you can nominate New Zealand's most annoying toy we're going to announce all of the winners next in a grandiose awards ceremony. But Carla, welcome from Porirua. Morena, how are you? Good, thank you. And what do you want to put forward for New Zealand's most annoying toy?

I have a Minnie Mouse phone. A Minnie Mouse phone? Oh, okay. So, you know, the communication that her and Mickey use to send pictures to each other? Yeah. Well, yeah, that's an option. What's the phone do? It's got lots of buttons like a smartphone, I guess, but it says this.

Hi, it's Minnie. Hi, it's Redon. Hi, it's Redon. Hi, Minnie. Hi, talk to me. That's all she says, right? Yeah. Hi, it's Minnie.

Yeah, I know. You came up on my phone when you said Minnie calling. Well, that would annoy me because she's not saying much more. No, that's the limit. Has she got any more than, hi, it's Minnie? There's a couple of buttons, but they're not relevant to what it says, actually. There's one for Donald Duck's OnlyFans account. You want to see Donald with no pants.

Well, you can actually see him with no pants any time of the day. Good on you, Carla. Thank you for nominating the Minnie Mouse phone. Chanel's on from Glen Eden. Welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast, Chanel. New Zealand's most annoying toy. My twin daughters do. There's this new craze going around at school

and it's called fidgets and it's these things that make noises. And this one here is called a poppet tube. Ella's going to show you. Here you go, Ella. school and it's called fidgets and it's these things that make noises and these things and this one here is called a poppet tube. Ella's going to show you. Here you go, Ella. Oh. What?

Oh, the poppet tube. Ben calls something his poppet tube. He's always like, play with my poppet tube. Is that what he's meaning? My daughters are like obsessed with the fidgets things at the moment but I haven't heard of a poppet tube. That sounds kind of annoying meaning? My daughter's obsessed with the fidget things at the moment, but I haven't heard of a poppet tube. That sounds kind of annoying from a parent point of view. It is annoying.

It is annoying when they don't stop. And then my dad the other day went, oh, you can do this other thing, and when you fully extend it, and you swing it really loudly, it makes another annoying sound. Oh, let's hear that. We'll see if she can do it.

You do it, Mum. Me do it? All right, okay. Ready? Ready? I love it. I love it. That is a great entry for New Zealand's most annoying toy.

We'll take one more. Emma's on. Emily, sorry, I'm from Taranaki. What have you got, Emily? I have got some weird little stand and play activity centre. Okay. This is for you or for the younger people in the family? For the younger people.

It has a mind of its own, though, so it will go whenever it feels like it. Okay. What have we got? Let's have a listen. All right. I know what you mean. Because sometimes they'll go off at 3 o'clock in the morning like they're possessed. And you're like, what's going on with that?

Yeah. Exactly. It'll be there. Nobody will be touching it. And we're like, what? How is that working? The thing is that you would even throw it out or take it to the dump or the Salvation Army, but somehow it would make its way back to your house.

Every time. Every time it ends up in the garage, it's going and then it's back in the lounge. I'm like, how? Hey, thank you for your entry. Let's see if you make the finalists next. New Zealand's most annoying toy. We will present the winners in a prestigious, probably not prestigious, awards ceremony.

Jono and Ben, or as they're known in the office, those two. Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast on the hits. Hey, okay, it's time for the World's slash New Zealand's most annoying toy. Welcome to the prestigious first annual inaugural bicentennial six-monthly most annoying toy competition awards. We'd like to thank our partners. All of the children who own the relentlessly punishing toy that they ruin their parents' lives with. As we said before, these are toys that kids love, and we're not saying they're bad toys. It's just saying after a while for parents,

often ones with noises, they get a bit irritating for parents. They're fun for the first 30 to 45 seconds. Fun when you've got them, but when someone else has them, you're like, ooh. And some great entries over the last week. Thank you to all of the entrants. Kia kaha to everybody, but there only can be a few winners. Honourable mentions must go to Sarah's Flatulence Piano.

The Flatulence Piano. Yeah, it literally blew away the competition. And as the great piano player Elton John once sung, the candle in the wind, we finally discovered what sort of wind it was with the Flatulence Piano. Big shout-out, too too to Chris with his Baby Shark bath time toy. As the water washes

over the top of the Baby Shark, the song plays on loop. Do you know what I read over the weekend? A Baby Shark toy actually saved a toddler's life. Now this was in Wisconsin in America. Now a gunshot was fired in the street. It bounced off like a guttering went into the toddler's room and actually ended up inside

the baby shark toy and not hitting the toddler, which was sleeping behind the baby shark toy. Oh my God. So they reckon if it wasn't for the baby shark toy, the toddler might have been in some serious trouble. And the creepiest thing, the baby shark toy was still singing even after being shot. So there you go. There you go, baby shark doing more damage to sharks than a Japanese fishing trawler. On to the next one.

Chanel's Push and Pull Plastic Noise Fidget, which we just heard moments ago. What's the point of it apart from making you want to rip your own ears off? I don't know. But well done, Chanelel on that one and the winner for the 2021 most annoying toy goes to paula with her minion fart gun which just won't die i've got this really annoying four-year-old minion fart gun that battery just never stops now that wasn't actually the toy. No, it was. This is Todd after a long lunch.

Todd, our boss. Releasing a lot of methane into the system, a gun that the Green Party would not endorse. But well done, Paula, on winning New Zealand's most annoying toy. And that was the first annual Annoying Toy Awards, and it'll be back again as long as I remember to put it in my calendar. Annoyingly, it will be back. Five words for 5K on the hits.

You're only five words away from a massive payday. It is our game of word association. We play it every day around about 7.45 in the morning. We tell you five words. You tell us the first things that pop into your head

and if your five words match with ours, you win five grand. Last two weeks have been the most winningest weeks in five words history. It's been a wonderful two weeks. We've been winningest weeks in Five Words history. It's been a wonderful two weeks. We've been like those flamboyant rappers in nightclubs, just throwing cash away.

Yeah, we have. Throwing it away. And we're going to try and throw some your way, Kirsten and Rotorua. Welcome. Hello. How are you? Kirsten was a bit stunned because she was like, jeez, that was a good segue. Were you like, wow, he transitioned from throwing money to...

He did. I was waiting, waiting, waiting. And I was like, wow, he transitioned from throwing money to me? He did. I was waiting, waiting, waiting. And I was like, oh, no, it's me. Yeah, I'm on. It was seamless. It was really good. Kirsten, how was your weekend, mate? Oh, it was pretty good.

I just did some kids' sports and chilled out at home yesterday. Yeah, that's the thing. Their social lives are far more exciting than mine will ever be. Me too. Yeah. All right, they're in the background. I can hear those kids want to win some money. Oh, I was trying. I was like, you have to be quiet, please.

Our job is simple, Kirsten. Our job is very simple. It is solely to win you money. Also in our job description is to clean and valet Mike Hosking's Ferrari every morning and drop his dry cleaning off. But not right now. Not right now. Who do you want to send

into the soundproof booth? Jono, please. Oh, Jono. He's the last person to win money in this game. So hopefully that's a lucky thing for you this morning. Fingers crossed.

All right, kick the music off. Producer Juliet, he is inside the soundproof booth. And here is your first word. Carrot. Carrot. Cake. Carrot cake. Yum. both and here is your first word carrot carrot cake carrot cake yum yes uh disney is your second word disney tv tv glitter number three today glitter craft oh Craft. Oh, craft. Okay. I see where you're going.

I see what's popping into your head. Massage is number four. Massage. Back. Back massage. And finally, this morning, five words for 5K, level. Level. Up.

Level. I was actually thinking that. I was thinking that. No, no, it's good. I think these are the first things that pop into your head. You feeling okay about all of them? Oh, we'll give it a best shot, eh? All right.

You might not be impressed. We'll see how we go. It was good. You played a good, quick, fast game. Almost, well, slightly quicker than John trying to straighten his way to get out of the soundproof booth. I didn't realise the soundproof booth was also a managed isolation facility. Lovely family of four in there, just fresh back from Spain.

All right, we played a quick game with Kirsten this morning. And, well, no, over to you, Jono. You play how you want to play. Quick game's a good game in my eyes. All right, the first word we said this morning was carrot. Stick.

Told you a quick game was a good game. Not necessarily a good game. Not necessarily a good game. Not all the time. What did you go, Kirst? Cake. Carrot cake. She went cake. Let's go quickly through.

Disney. Land. Glitter. Benny. I said Benny, but no. Massage. Parlour. I don't know why that popped into but no. Massage. Parlour.

I know why that popped into your head. Funny that. And level. Elevator. Kirsten. I'm playing my husband. I would have picked you, Ben. Oh, now it's on me?

Those were some rock solid answers, Kirsten. I hope they were. Kirsten, thanks so much for playing this morning. It was lots of fun. You're a legend. Thank you for listening, mate. Appreciate it. Thanks, bye. That is...

There's nothing this lady doesn't know about your favourite celebrities, including George Clooney's dental records, and he's due for a scale and polish this week, isn't he, Juliet? Yeah, I think he is. She's got all the details. What's happening in Spy? So Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristen Davis have reunited 20 years on. Hang on.

For? Hang on. Yes. You're missing one. I know, but I'll get to that shortly. Is there more sex to be had in the city? Well, apparently so. So they're doing a revival sort of 10-episode reboot of Sex and the City

where the show follows the characters as they navigate life through their 50s in New York City. The sex is lessened. Menopause is kicked in. Oh, dear. But there's no show from Kim Cattrall because there's, I don't know if you guys know a lot about it, but there was a big feud between her and Sarah Jessica Parker

back in the day, supposedly over money. I was just reading the timeline of the feud between the two, and it did kick off with money. And she was given, Sarah Jessica Parker was given an executive producer title, which gave her more money. Kim Cattrall not happy about that. And so that spelled the end of it, which was a bit sad, isn't it? I guess it's interesting, because Sex and the City did seem like,

well, Carrie's character was probably the main character, whereas we were talking about Friends the other day, they all went in as an ensemble cast and they all had, you know, no one was a main character. It seemed like Carrie was doing a lot of the heavy lifting on the show. Yeah. Probably more filming. Yeah.

More acting. She was the one who narrated all the stories and stuff. More voiceover work being your eyes. I don't know, but anyway, interesting. But they're all big stars in stuff. More voiceover work being your eyes. But I don't know. But anyway, interesting. But they're all big stars in their own right. They are. They are.

So that'll be, it really is the season of reunions and reboots, isn't it? Yeah. And speaking of also a reunion and the Friends reunion, with COVID, the cruise ship industry kind of died down a little bit. But there's a cruise company in, I think, Florida that is starting a Friends-themed cruise. No cast members are going to be there. Oh, just a guy that kind of looks like Chandler. Does that guy kind of look like Chandler?

I guess he's squinted a little bit. So if you're a big fan of Friends, you can go on this cruise where there's Friends trivia, a come as your favourite character costume contest, cooking demos. So, I mean, if you're a huge fan, you want to see. Jesus, that sounds bleak. Yeah, I know. But, you know, the cruise industry have huge fan, you want to spend... Jesus, that sounds bleak. Yeah, I know.

But, you know, the cruise industry have got to do what they've got to do to... Oh, true. Cooking demonstrations. Yeah, I don't know how that comes into it. Did they do much cooking on the show? Well, Monica was a chef in the early days, but I don't remember...

Oh, there was a chicken. They put the chicken on the turkey on the head, wasn't it? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Then they do the turkey on the head. They had the chef on the cruise ship wandering around with the turkey on the head.

That's true. Oh, that would be great. And remember the good old film? It was one of my favourites when I was younger. Disney, oh, Pixar, sorry, Monsters, Inc. Oh, yes. Back in the day. So Monsters, Inc. is getting a TV series now on Disney+.

Mike Wazowski. Mike Wazowski. What a great character. Is that Billy Crystal? Yeah, Billy Crystal, yeah. Every time I think of Billy Crystal, I was like, that guy, he's an entertainer, right? He is. The all-round entertainer. He came out and hosted the Oscars and he was singing and dancing. Dancing, Billy Crystal. Every time I think of Billy Crystal, I was like, that guy, he's an entertainer, right? He is.

The all-round entertainer. He came out and hosted the Oscars and he was singing and dancing. Dancing, jazz hands. But it's going to be called Monsters at Work and it's set six months after the original movie from 2001. And it follows the fact that they're no longer wanting monsters to scare,

they're wanting jokester monsters, so a little bit more light-hearted. We're going to need to find a couple of hundred more funny monsters. Excuse me, Tyler Tuskman, official scarer. What? Scarer? You're no longer hiring scarers? Scarers are out, jokesters are in.

So are Sully and Mike back on or did they have a feud back in the day over Narnia the monsters? One of them won't come back for the reboot. Sully was given an executive producer role. Mike's not happy about that. But yes, I'm very, very excited for that. So that, I think, is going to be on Disney Plus from next month.

You know, I think you just mentioned all the retrospective stuff with friends and sex in the city and even Monsters, Inc. I think mentally, the world is wanting to go back to a time where COVID wasn't around. A happier place. You know, in our happy place. So true. Nostalgia is just one of the greatest things, I think.

So they're really playing on that, aren't they? That's what you start saying when you're old, Juliet. Welcome to the club. There's a new generation coming through now. I'm going to say, shut up, old lady. And that is spy from where you can head to the hits.co.nz. 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. Hey, Masked Singer last night was the final of the Masked Singer. Take it off, take it off, take it off. It's probably the only time it's appropriate to yell take it off at a workplace. I've been trying to do it around here.

No one's really joined in that party. So Tuatara was the winner of the Masked Singer and they had the moment where the mask was taken off. Take it off! It's award winning singer Jason Kerrison

from Upshop! Such a great voice. Jason Kerrison, you know from Upshop. Such a great voice. Jason Kerrison, you know, from Op Shop. Amazing, amazing voice. Beautiful. And then he sang live at the end too, and that was amazing. I love how they really have to stipulate it with persons. It's award-winning singer.

Privileged accountant. Talented gardener. Jason Kerrison. So what does that mean now? Does that mean that Totada gets a record contract? I mean how's it work? Is it like I think they're pretty sure

They sell those reality shows Pop stars? Yeah $50,000 or something What are they going to do With all those wonderful costumes? You can hire them out For hens and stag doodles

Oh true They should take the pavlova The pavlova could go around Primary schools As like a mascot For you know That travelling dental bus As we're like

Don't eat too much of me You you get cavities, you know. You can make use of those costumes. We probably need to, it's New Zealand. And it was not only a big winner on The Masked Singer last night, there was a big winner on Friday. Cash and a car was won, if you've been following on closely, as a lot of us have. We'll find out exactly how much money was stashed in the back

and how the life has changed for the winner over the weekend. Ben and Jono call this show Jono and Ben. Breakfast on the hits. The hits. Now, you would have heard this in the news just before with Rachel Jackson-Lees that President Joe Biden from the United States met the Queen just over the weekend and this is what he had to say.

Joe Biden says Queen Elizabeth reminded him of his mother. The US President has lavished praise on the 95-year-old monarch after their private meeting at Windsor Castle. Joe Biden, you remind me of my... Was his mother a royal leader who looked over 54 Commonwealth countries? What? Did she say it to... I hope he didn't say it to her face.

You remind me of my mother. You'd be like... They do look the same. Do they? Yeah. I love be like, oh. They do look the same. Do they? Yeah. Yeah, I love Joe Biden. Don't you? Yeah.

He reminds me of a guy who's probably a little too old to be president. But it's funny when you think about Joe Biden reflecting on and being reminded of family members.

We play this clip from time to time. It's probably our favourite Joe Biden moment. Jeez, we've got some mileage out of this. When he's standing on stage and his wife and his sister

are behind him and he goes to introduce them both and gets it wrong. By the way, this is my little sister Valerie and I'm Jill's husband. Oh no, this is my wife, this is my

sister. They switched on me. I wouldn't be surprised if he took the queen home with him. He's like, this is my mother. It's the queen. She switched on me.

Joe, your mother's dead. My mother's dead? When did my mother die? We've got a brand new MG SUV with cash in the back. Oh no, cash in the car is something that we've been doing for the last few weeks on the hits and it's been infuriating many people around New Zealand

as they thought they had the right answer of how much cash was stashed in the back of the brand new MG SUV, because you can win both cash and the car if you have the exact amount. I thought this competition was never going to end. I won't lie, I thought we were still going to be doing this in 2045 when this vehicle wasn't even around anymore. So thank goodness we gave it away on Friday and this was the moment.

With a guess of $15,981.92. Lucy? It is correct. Oh my God! Lucy, you've won cash and car. I feel like crying. Yes. Emotional scenes.

Such a great moment, isn't it, Lucy, from Wellington, winning just over $15,000 and the car as well. Lucy Burns, her name, man. We're across to the Burns unit now in Wellington. Lucy. Hello, good morning. Three days later, have you stopped partying? Yes, only just. Only just?

What was the weekend like? What did you get up to? Yeah, I went out on Saturday night with my friends and celebrated, which was really fun. So, yeah, it was a great time. And it sounds like it, too. I won't lie. You sound broken.

Was it one of those occasions where the friends are like, well, hey, you just won $15,000 and a brand new car. It's your shout? Well, I was trying to shout everyone, and then they were being too nice and kind of wouldn't let me sometimes. Oh, that's nice. They wouldn't let you shout them. That's nice when you're friends, isn't it?

Gosh, you need to get worse friends. Lucy, how long did you know the figure before you were actually able to get through on the phone? Oh, I'm not going to lie. I only, so my guess until I heard that clue at 4.30 was different. But when I heard the clue that was given at 4.30 in the afternoon was when I knew that was. Wow, so you changed it and then you won not long after.

Yeah, so only an hour before. Was it an hour before? Yeah. And how does it feel to have a whole country of people bitching behind your back saying they should have won that prize? Go for it. Keep on doing it, but you haven't got the car. Congratulations, you've got a fantastic brand new car,

the MG SUV. It is an awesome car. And you've got a whole lot of money as well coming your way. I know, yay, thank you guys. What are you going to spend the money on? Maybe I'm going up to Auckland next month, so might stop by Sky City and put it all on black. That sounds like a sensible investment.

Love your work. Probably, all I can think of right now is going on some road trips with the car and maybe staying in some nice accommodation with all my friends. Oh, good on you. Going to do something new, New Zealand. Yeah, exactly. As the ad keeps telling us to do. Hey, well done, Lucy.

And thank goodness we had a winner because for three weeks, Boss Todd kept coming in here going, I can feel it in my stomach. It's going to go today. And I was like, I think that feeling might have been indigestion, not a feeling of winning.

But well done. Congrats. And it's lovely to have you listening to the hits. Great. Thank you, guys. And thanks, of course, to everyone that played the game and MG as well for that fantastic car that we've just given away. That was thank you guys. And thanks of course to everyone that played the game and MG as well

for that fantastic car that we've just given away. That was loads of fun. Congratulations to Lucy from Wellington. It is the hits. Scrolling through your feed. Here to present you the news, because we couldn't afford Simon Dallow to do it. Here's Ben Boyce. What's been happening over the last couple of hours? Oh, it's a crazy story out of

America. So there's a lobster diver by the name of Michael Packard, and he entered the water, was diving down for lobster, and he got basically swallowed. He ended up in the mouth of a whale. Is this a tale of a whale that you're about to tell? It's a whale of a tale. But this is actually what happened to him,

and in the end he got spat out. He's got a few injuries, but he survived. He got swallowed. Isn't that the plot line to Moby Dick? I think it might be. Didn't Moby Dick get a bit swallowy? And Pinocchio as well, didn't he? Did Pinocchio just end up inside a whale?

I think he ended up inside a whale as well. They went right inside the whale, yeah. How on earth did Geppetto and Pinocchio? Yeah, things really. He's wooden. He shouldn't even be in the water. Yeah, he'd get very soggy. But this is actually what happened,

and his friend spoke about it on the news. I saw Mike come flying out of the water feet first with his flippers on and land back in the water. So I jumped aboard the boat. We got him up, got his tank off, and got him on the deck, calmed him down. He goes, Joe, he goes, I was in the mouth of a whale. He goes, I can't believe it. I was in the mouth of a whale. He goes, I can't believe it.

I was in the mouth of a whale, Joe. Joe. I was in the mouth of a whale. I got his name in there a couple of times. He says, Joe, that's me. Good marketing. I was reading the article here. He said he was inside.

It was complete darkness. He reckons he was in there for about 40 seconds or so. It was a humpback whale, eh? It was. One of those huge ones, right? And by mistake, they reckon. there's an expert on humpback whales and saying they're not aggressive animals at all. They don't, particularly towards humans, they don't feast on humans.

So the whale would have probably, like, chomped on down on it, you know, just been trying to eat other stuff and then gone, hang on, oh, what's this? And then obviously gone, hey, this is not for me, and out it would have come. It'll be like when I accidentally eat a Turkish delight, and you're like, hmm. What's this? What's this?

The ones that some monster unwraps, and they're all just sitting in the bowl, and you don't know what's what. This wasn't the favourite that I thought I was going to eat. It's exactly the same sort of thing. If you were going to be swallowed by any animal, what do you think you'd go? What do you think you'd like to be? I wouldn't like to be any of this. Probably a whale's a good option because it's not a violent swallowing, is it? It's just like a...

And it's not like you get crunched or anything because it's much bigger than you. What about one of those impressive snake ones that's the joy of that? It ends up going inside the snake and you're like, oh there's a hole like whatever it is inside. They haven't chewed for 30 seconds before swallowing. And you're like, how there's a hole like whatever it is inside. They haven't chewed for 30 seconds before swallowing.

And you're like, how has a snake swallowed an entire bus of people? You know, those people had a chance to just walk off that bus at any time. But they slowly let the snake devour it. The snake sort of dislocates its jaw. He's like, watch this one guys. But then the digestive

system of the snake, I mean how does that work? It's not even chewed you know how are we going to get that you need some kiwi crush

eh the old snake because the snake starts bigger and then it sort of tails out you know

so it's really I mean I think it's probably a dare amongst all snakes they're probably like

bet you can't eat that zebra oh you watched me mate oh he did wow

you're going to regret that. And that is scrolling through your feed this morning on what making big international news on the Hits. Experts in semi-accurate, half-remembered information. Vaguely known information, but maybe not correct. Jono and Ben,

New Zealand Breakfast on Hits. That is our show for Monday. Thanks so much for hanging out with us today. It was lots of fun. We had a friend come over yesterday and her kids were there as well. And one of the kids wasn't really listening to what she was saying. And it was something I said. I said, oh, do you want something to eat? And he wasn't listening to me.

And she said to him, respect your eldest. I've been put in the respect your eldest category. I guess technically it's a kid. But you know me. I mean, just because I've been and it's a kid and you're... But you know me. I mean, just because I've been living longer than a kid,

I don't deserve respect. You know, it's just because someone's older than you, you need to... It's a weird thing that happens. It happens in the supermarket the other day

and it was like, the kid was like, oh, watch it, let that man go through and I'm like, who's, which man? Oh, that's me. Yes.

You don't feel like you're suddenly like, oh. I feel the same when they're like, let that lovely woman walk past. I'm like, who's, which man? Oh, that's me. I'm the man.
