Jono, Ben & Megan - The Podcast - FULL: Auckland Has Officially Broken Up With The Rest Of The Country...

Episode Date: August 31, 2021

Hello friends. On today's show, we broke up with the rest of the country... We had to make a tough call to Christchurch to officially end things. It was tough. Breaking up is never easy. But sometimes it's just gotta be done... Pray for us. We also rewarded another essential worker, what we like to call "Iso-Legends" thanks to our mates at Skinny. All that and more on today's poddy! Enjoy!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John Owen 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 John Owen Ben, you can have them anywhere, anytime. Welcome to the John Owen Ben podcast. Guys, welcome. Kia ora.

It's John Owen Ben here. The 1st of September, Wednesday, the 1st of September, Wednesday the 1st of September 2021. Spring's here, yeah. What is spring? It feels like it's the opening act for summer. It is, yeah. It's the one year you can arrive halfway through before the... You don't care too much about it, yeah.

You're right, you're right. What did I miss? Oh, not much. You know, it's getting better. It's getting better. How long until summer's here? Oh, you know, that headline is coming soon. Can I go get a drink? Yeah, you've got time.

You've probably got time. Yeah. Should we stay and watch these guys? No, they're okay. I mean, you know. Yeah. Yeah, so it's pretty much that is the idea. Now's the time you go to the toilet, get a drink, get yourself comfortable.

Get yourself all sorted for summer, yeah. Yeah, you're dead right. Dead right. I was going to talk to you about oh yeah, listen, we had an interview that fell through last night and both of us at PrepDy just finished reading, got deep into this man's

hole of information on the internet. Oh yeah, it's kind of a shame the timing didn't work out for this. I was looking forward to talking to him. Jake Johnson, not to be confused with... Jack Johnson. The musical artist. Now you know Jake Johnson. New Girl, a Now, you know Jake Johnson. New Girl, a huge show, and he was one of the main characters in Nick, but he's also been in 21... So, Deschanel?

Yeah, she was in that, yeah. I learned that last night in my... Yeah, no, it was an awesome show. He's also been in 21 Jump Street, Jurassic World. He was the voice of Spider-Man in the animated movie they had recently, and he also was with Tom Cruise in The Mummy. Now, I'd hate for your good work to be put to waste. Yeah.

Do you want to ask me the questions you were going to ask Jake? Oh, yeah, I could do some of that. Yeah, well, what I found interesting, I mean, you can probably talk more about this thing as you film the movie, is it was filmed during the pandemic and you wrote it with the director. You also paid for it.

Is that why there was only 10 people in the crew and you shot pretty much your scenes over 10 days? Yes. Okay, well, not a lot of back. He seems like a lovely person, but more back and forth, but okay. Okay, next question. The movie looks really sweet,

but it is, you know, the story is your mum, who you didn't really know, she dies. You move to a cabin that was hers in the middle of the woods, and you have to get her inheritance by completing her dubious to-do list. Yes. Speaking of your mum's to-do list, you also met your mum's lover, who

was on her to-do list. Yes, sir. Okay. Now, here's another little interesting fact. Now, there's another great show called The Good Place. Now, the lady who played Janice in The Good Place. I don't want to talk about another person. No, no, but she was the main character in this movie.

Yeah, but I'm here promoting. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Talking about your movie called Ride the Eagle. And she was the main character, but you've never met her. You've never met her. You've done all your scenes over Zoom and FaceTime because it's a pandemic. Yes. Okay.

Okay. We'll play. Think about the dog. Chano and Ban. Chano and Ban. Okay. Time. You're sorry.

Your time is up. Two more things. New Girl. New Girl. One last question. I forgot. New Girl. Taylor Swift and Prince had cameos on New Girl.

Talk about that. I'm not talking about my previous projects. What about Tom Cruise? You did a stunt. Okay. Time's up. Thank'm not talking about my previous projects. What about Tom Cruise? You did a stunt. Okay, time's up. Thank you for your interview. You did a stunt with Tom Cruise and the mummy and you hurt yourself.

Hey, nice to meet you. And Tom Cruise said to yourself, you hurt yourself and the mummy. And Tom Cruise was like, are you acting injured or are you injured injured? Remember that? I remember that. Talk about that.

Jeez, you've done a lot of good work there too, Ben. He convinced his mum that he'd, he learned Spanish as well too. I watched that on James Corden So his mum was like You need to learn Spanish And so she gave him all these textbooks And kind of left him to it And then he would just pretend that he knew

They'd watched some TV shows in Spanish And he'd be going Oh, she's saying that she needs to go to the doctor And he's saying that this And mum would go Wow, you're so good Totally having no idea what people were saying. Yeah, you can never leave kids to do anything.

Don't trust them. I mean, the moral of that story is don't trust children. Yeah, yeah. I mean, to be honest, Oscar's doing his schoolwork at the moment. I think he's doing a good job. We shut him in a room for five hours a day, and he comes out, he's like, it's all done. It's all done. Yeah, that's true.

So it's a shame we never got to do that interview. But hey, we got to do that with you, and you weren't very talkative. But enjoy the podcast, because we achieve a dream of mine today to get 10 out of 10 on the New Zealand Herald Daily Quiz. How do we go? We'll find out. Going hard and ooley. Go hard, go ooley. Go hard and ooley.

Hard and ooley. Go hard. With Jono and Ben. New Zealand's breakfast. And now, as of 11.59 last night, the team of 5 million became the team of, well, probably not quite 5 million because everyone south of Auckland has moved to Alert Level 3, whereas Auckland and Northland at the moment are Alert Level 4. And that means down south of us, they can get takeaways, they can get contactless pickup, delivery. They're a better class of New Zealander, aren't they?

There's no two ways about it. Actually, to be honest, I know it's only been two weeks and a lot of people were missing takeaways. The last thing my lockdown body needs is takeaways to open up. So I'm kind of secretly thankful because, I mean, look at me now. Imagine if all your favourites, the Big Bangers were open, Ben. Imagine what I'd look like then. It's kind of like a bit of a breakup with the rest of the country, isn't it? Yeah, and so we're going to officially break up with the remaining part of the country that's in Level 3.

We're going to go through to Christchurch now. It's going to be sad, it's going to be emotional. Just a word of warning. Mobile, Madras, Nina speaking. Oh, Nina, it's Jono and Ben calling from the Hits radio station. You there? Yeah, seriously? Yeah, it is.

It's Jono. We're just ringing because it feels like we're breaking up. How are we breaking up? Well, because we're going, we're going to stay at level four. You guys are going to level three. We're breaking up. We are. Listen, it's not you.

It literally is all us. It's us. It's all on Auckland. You've done nothing. Yeah. You go off and live your life, okay? Thank you. We will.

Yeah, you can see other people. You're still socially distanced, but you can get takeaways. You can get coffee. You can do that. Lucky us. Yeah, I know. We're just on different levels. I know this is hard to come to terms with, but you can get takeaways, you can get coffee, you can do that. Lucky us. Yeah, I know. We're just on different levels. I know this is hard to come to terms with, but it's not

working out. It's a bit of both of us, you know? One of us knew how to play the game and everyone didn't. We're just at different stages of life, you know? You guys need different things than we do. We grow apart. Our islands are just distancing. I understand. We'll stay friends.

We'll stay friends, eh? Of course. Yeah. Once you guys get to level three, come and see us. Yeah, right. But it seems like one of those things that you're going to say to us and, you know, are we ever really going to remain friends? I hope so. Yeah.

But then, you know, we might get to level two and you guys get to level three. I mean, who knows? It's going to take some time. We're ships in the night, aren't we? It's just that time, you know? Yeah. I'll tell you what we'll do for you, though. We'll give you some help, eat some vouchers so you can get some, because you can get takeaways. We're ships in the night, aren't we? We are. It's that time, you know? Yeah. I'll tell you what we'll do for you, though. We'll give you some help, eat some vouchers so you can get some, because you can get takeaways.

We can't use them. Oh, that's awesome. There you go. Think of us, all right? Because we can't have them. Oh, that's very kind. You know, you're very gracious. Yeah.

You're taking this well. Well, you know, it's tough. It's tough. It's emotional. If you love them, set them free. Yeah, yeah. All right. The rest of everywhere below us, below Auckland,

you can have it. It's all, you're on your own. Oh, thank you. Well, Auckland's always said it's above the rest. Hey, look, up until this point, you guys were always above us, so. And we still are. Hey, hold the line, we'll grab your details,

and we'll send you out some pizza. Awesome, thank you. Another day at home with the kids. Little tip, it's called parenting, not babysitting. Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast. Hey, last night after dinner, this is post dinner, so sat down,

I've done the dishes, done my duties, sit on the couch, and then Oscar, my son, goes, where's the TV remote? And have you ever lost a TV remote? Yeah. It's a blame game. Everyone's pointing the finger, shifting the blame.

I was getting the blame. I was blaming him. He was blaming his sister. Then he went back to mum, came back around to me. Yeah. And he started accusing everyone. Yeah. And no one ever believes it.

I think I saw it on the internet, but no one ever believes it. It's like, are you sitting on it? And you're like, yeah. And you're like, you have to get up and prove that you're not sleeping. No, I'd know if there was a TV in my bottom right now. But no one ever trusts you, right? They're like, get up, get up. Prove it.

I'm locked underneath me. Lift the pillow up. Yeah. And so it was just a huge, it was like a murder mystery. Everyone was sort of pointing the finger as who's the TV remote. And so it got to the point where we're like oh we're never going to find it and you know we don't place enough importance on remote controls but boy oh boy you notice it when it's gone yeah because you have to get up you have to get I just get up and walk three to four places to physically change it on the television my friends had a flat and uh for a

while there and they had a pool cue because they lost their remote, and they would just sort of lean from the couch up towards the TV. Oh, and poke it. I was like, you just sort of poke it. I was like, yeah, because they were like, I don't know whether it's... This is the ultimate height of laziness.

I know, exactly. And the time it probably took to get the pool cue on the button. Oh, yeah, it was such a... You're like, that channel, no, no, keep going. You're like, oh. So what you end up doing is you end up watching TV

like it's the 1990s. You're sucking up all the commercials, you're watching it down in real time. Old school, baby. Just because you can't

be bothered is changing the channel. Yeah. But then, never guess what happened this morning. Well, you found it,

obviously. I put my jacket on, my big orange jacket, and it was in the pocket. So what I've done, because I felt it as I was just leaving out the door, and I was like, okay, well, this is a situation. Clearly, I've put it in my pocket for some reason. And so I've just put it under the couch.

So you can just see the tip of it. So someone will be like, oh, it was there the whole time. Unless they're listening right now. They never listen. They don't even catch up with the podcast. Sometimes I get over radio and I'm like, we'll sit down and listen to Dad's podcast.

That's what you could have done last night. Turn the TV off and listen to the podcast. So yeah, hopefully I've surreptitiously done that enough that they don't click onto the fact. But I'm pretty sure we even lifted up the entire couch. Right. So I'll be like, oh, Claire, someone's had a bad look. Yeah.

Yeah. The remote is back. It's back. After 8 o'clock, as we mentioned before, we're going to try and get 100% on today's New Zealand Herald Daily Quiz. We want to do it. Well, this is a dream of yours. Yeah.

You know, some might say maybe you should just dream of doing a good radio program. But no, we're going to try and focus on the quiz this morning. It's after eight on the hits. New Zealand's breakfast. This is Jono and Ben on the hits. Jono, good morning. Welcome along to the show. And if you're out, if you're anywhere from Auckland South, well, it's a big day for you.

Today's the day you can safely have takeaways again. Takeaway coffee, takeaway pizza, KFC, McDonald's. It's all open again. Welcome to the good life. I know. Yeah. If you've had any, because last night, midnight, things opened up. I was reading about a dessert store in Hamilton that opened at one minute past midnight last night

and had 60 people lined up. Wow. Obviously spaced apart within 15 minutes. You know, so people were really, really missing takeaways. If you've already had takeaways, a takeaway coffee, a takeaway burger or anything, or you're off to get one today, we'd love to hear from you. 4487 on the text.

Brag, brag, because we can't get it for at least another two weeks. The thing that I'm always, it's only been two weeks. It's only been two weeks without takeaways. But you must be missing Fish and Chip Friday. But I'm not like yeah I'm surviving. Yeah right. Maybe in another two weeks I'll be in a whole other I'd love a takeaway. I'd love a

cafe coffee. You know in the weekends you're like oh it's just me having to cook again. I'm sick of my own cooking. What are you doing in the flat, Ju? We just cook our own meals, but I've always been, I'm not like a huge takeaway person as it is, so I'm kind of like okay.

Occasionally I'll just love a bit of burger fuel, but I'm actually all good because I'm used to cooking a lot anyway. There's something about, people love spending money too, don't they? Yeah. Which is strange. Just got to go out and swipe that card. I got an exciting show coming up. We're going to try and nail the New Zealand Herald online quiz after 8 o'clock.

No Googling. No Googling. Just using nature's Google, our brain. Haven't even looked at today's daily quiz. We'll look at it with you guys after 8 o'clock. And we'll try and work our way through. As you say, no Googling. You can call through with answers. Yeah. But we're going to

get 10 out of 10. That's the goal. If we don't, we'll come back tomorrow and the following day. Try and get 10 out of 10 in the Daily Quiz. We need your help this morning. It is the hits. You got Jot on, Ben. Rise and shine. Time to start the um, who are we kidding?

We're not the boss of you. Jono and Ben, the hits. The moment and the hits after 9 o'clock each day. We're doing the noughties taking on the nineties. We're looking at the biggest, well, it's basically the most popular era, the 1990s or the early 2000s. Here we go. Jono's internet wormhole. And one artist who has spanned across both generations that I got lost into a clickbait article on yesterday,

the internet wormhole, is a man who's released 72 singles, had multiple number ones. He's worth $825 million. He's the second richest rapper behind Jay-Z, third's Dr. it's puff daddy so how many singles he had he's 72 so this i'd only been able to name about three or four i mean he was a producer as well right does that count maybe it does probably does yeah yeah owned a record

label obviously he's got other various business interests and so these are it was an article on fun facts for kids about Puff Daddy. For kids? Okay. Fun facts for kids. Now, that's the title of the article. However, the first fun fact for kids about Puff Daddy is his dad was murdered when he was six years old. So not much of a fun fact. I wouldn't put that in a fun category.

It's horrible. Horrible. Yeah. But here's the really interesting thing about this terrible story, this tragic story, is he grew up thinking that his dad had died in a car accident until he was like 20. Oh, really? His mum had always said, your father died in a car accident. And then he was like, something doesn't quite sit right with me.

So then he went to the public library and got into a wormhole and looked up in a newspaper and his dad was actually killed in a drug deal gone wrong. Oh jeez. But he said he wasn't angry because he knew his mum just wanted him to think that his dad was... So that's a lovely gesture. Yeah, you're right.

Fun fact for kids about Puff Daddy. Far out. That's number one. Second one, his mum was a supermodel. Did you know that? I didn't know that. Why would you know that? No, I didn't. I didn't know that.

Why would you research Puff Daddy's mum? He got his nickname Puffy. He's had six different names. Diddy, Diddy, Not. Yeah, P. Diddy. Pitty, Diddy, Dizzle. Got his nickname Puffy because when he was younger, he was a bit smaller and he was always puffing out his chest in the playground

so he wouldn't get beaten up. Fun fact for kids about Puff Daddy. I thought maybe like puffer jackets from Kathmandu or something like that. Which are very comfortable. Yeah, they are. Some celebrities are big, but Puff Daddy, or Diddy as he's also known sometimes, is bigger and he knows it. One time he went to a party.

I thought you were doing a school speech on Puff Daddy. Sounds like the beginning of a rant. Did you know that Puff Daddy is so big that he went to a party once and threw his keys at Selena Gomez and said, park my car for me. He thought she was the valet. Really? And she's like, well he's puffed out, so she did. Oh, you would, right?

I mean, if Puff Daddy came, dear you'd be like... That happened to us with Willie Jackson. That's right. Oh yeah, because we were filming and he needed... We were filming Willie Jackson. That's right, we were filming and he needed to come into work and we were taking over the whole car park. And so he needed to rush into work. He was in a right fluster, wasn't he?

He was like, I'm going to go in because someone parked my car. And he just threw his keys at me. He was like, hey, we'll park your car, we'll eject you. No worries. Then he came out and he was like, oh, I'm sorry. I was just in a rush. I was in a flip. Fair enough.

We did take over the whole car park. But there was nowhere he could park. I mean, he was running late. And we were like, these guys. So yeah. Things really went up a level when I scratched his car when I was parking it by accident. And the final fun fact

about P Diddy is in 2004 he was the official person to carry the Olympic torch running through the streets of New York did he? wow

I love that that was good so those are fun facts for kids about Puff Daddy oh yeah were they fun? did you enjoy them? first one no to be honest.

It was quite dark. Interesting, though. Yeah, interesting. It wasn't fun. But, yeah. Then things started to lighten up for the supermodel. Yeah, a little bit. You know, Selena Gomez came into the mix.

That was interesting, yeah. I still wouldn't be able to recognise P. Diddy, though, if I saw him. Really? No. So, like, you're telling me these facts, and I'm like, oh, yeah, they're great, but I don't know who he is, really. Is that disappointing? No, not really.

We always get disappointed with Juliet for not knowing stuff, but she was born in 1998. So you can't hold that against anyone. Oh yeah, I vaguely recognise him. You vaguely recognise him? Oh my God. What the hell? Well, you might vaguely recognise his music today in 90s versus noughties. He's going to be featuring after nine.

Number one hits. We're looking at who's had the best versus noughties. He's going to be featuring after nine. Number one hits. We're looking at who's had the best number one hits from either decade. We'll do that after nine. It is the hits. The show where the masks make them look a whole lot better. Can't say this battered up old face yet. Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast. It is the hits.

Jono and Ben on your Wednesday morning. Yesterday we were talking about the Paralympics, and Sophie Pascoe was, you know, a little bit upset that she got bronze. You were happy with it for her, though. Oh, yeah, I was. But overnight she got a gold, claimed her 10th gold medal last night. So that's 18 in total. Yeah, it would be now.

100 metres freestyle, and what a moment. Sophie Pascoe, has she got the energy? Has she got the stamina, the endurance? She's certainly got the determination and character. Is Sophie Pascoe going to win that historic 10th Paralympic Games gold? She does so here. Sophie Pascoe joins a very elite club. Yeah.

There's only fewer than 40 athletes who have accomplished what she has. There's an amount of medals there. She's got 10 medals at the summer games. Ten gold medals, sorry. Seven silvers, one bronze. Wow. How good is she? So there you go.

She was gutted with a bronze. I mean, if you've got that many medals, a bronze probably doesn't mean much. Yeah. You know, if you've got so many golds. But then you've got kind of the set in some ways. You've collected the whole, like when you do those supermarket promotions, Ben.

That's right. You get heaps of one and not another. You got all those dominoes in the end the whole, like when you do those supermarket promotions, Ben. That's right. You get heaps of wine and on the other end, you know, finally. You got all those dominoes in the end, though, didn't you? You finally get Nala from the Lion King.

You're like, yes. It's exactly the same. It's exactly the same as Olympic medals. Well done, Sophie. That's really awesome. The team's doing so well. Yeah, it is.

That was awesome, eh? I don't know why it's not on the main TV. It's on Duke, isn't it? Yeah. I reckon it'd be a ratings bonanza if they biffed it on TVNZ1 at the moment. Yeah. Yeah, that is awesome to watch.

It's not like Auckland's got anything to do. No. We'll talk more about that next. It is the hits. You've got John on, Ben. Scrolling through your feed. All right. Here's our most credible news source, which speaks volumes for the type of news we provide

you every morning, but it's over to Ben Boyce with scrolling. Well, as of 11.59 last night, areas south of Auckland have moved to alert level 3, so Auckland, Northland remaining in alert level 4, so that means anyone south of Auckland, it's takeaways time. It's basically like level 4, but with takeaways. You can contactless pick up or you can get delivery so back on the menu things like big macs kfc quarterbacks pizzas cafe barista coffee and all that and as we said before there was a place in hamilton that opened up one minute past midnight

last night just to sell some desserts and they had people outside you know like a queue of 60 people so people will be missing it right now we should call we should call like mcdonald's or somewhere see how the business has been going i imagine there's people already lined up you know to go through the drive-thru people will be looking and you haven't got as much to do when you're in lockdown so you probably look forward to you know you're like okay cool i can go get mcdonald's i think i saw a photo yesterday of someone in deneden maybe uh it was mid-morning yesterday already in the kfc drive-thru well already yeah yeah i think it was it was mid-morning yesterday already in the KFC drive-thru Already? Yeah, I think it was broad daylight yesterday, they were already in the

KFC doesn't open until 10am today. Not even the Colonel shows that much commitment to KFC Juliet, this is probably rogue, let's call McDonald's now. Is it rogue? No, let's not do it now. You don't want to do it now? No. Why not? Because we might not get I don't care if you can, but you just said

before we haven't got a good hit rate of that, so why do it live to ourselves? I'll give it a, I'm going to take a gamble. If it's bad, it's on me. Okay. 06-355-3545. We have plenty of time to record this.

Yeah, we'll see. But these are one of those moments where it could be like, oh, that was great live. Couldn't have recreated it pre-recorded. Yeah. Or it could be one of those moments where you're like,

why did we do that live? We're about to find out McDonald's, Palmerston North McDonald's, Rantake Street, speaking of Danielle Danielle! It's Jono and Ben on the hits, you're on the radio Baby, what a dream come true Hello

We just wanted to know what's level 3 like Is there people waiting outside McDonald's? No, no, we're all clear and ready to go here. Were people waiting in the drive-thru at midnight? No. Oh, I don't know. We weren't here at the night. None of our staff were in until 4 a.m.

Okay, Danielle. Listen, mate. I'm going to pull back the curtain here. You're going to need to sex this up a lot. Okay? So we're going to do a take two. I'm going to say, were there people there at midnight? And you're like, traffic jam.

It was a kilometre long, okay? Okay, sure. Take two. Danielle, midnight. what was the drive-through like? All the way down to Botanicals. Oh, wow. Not to the Botanicals. What a traffic jam, jeez. People must be pouring out the door at the moment.

Yeah, pouring out the door onto Ring of Ticket Line, it's unreal. Just say 100,000, 100,000 Big Macs in an hour, okay? Here we go. How many Big Macs have you cooked? 150,000. 150,000 Big Macs have you cooked? 150,000. 150,000 Big Macs! We enjoy level

three. We're very jealous of you up here in the 09. Oh, yes, yes. Yeah, you know, you can get, and you're working at McDonald's as well, so we're even more jealous about that. Pass on our regards to Ronald. Yep, we will pass on your regards and the rest of the country will enjoy their McDonald's.

Oh, yeah, all right. Don't rub it in. Keep safe, Danielle. See you, mate. Thank you. Love your work, mate. It's all right. I mean, listen, you're right.

It's a gamble going live on those things. It's an unnecessary gamble. Totally unnecessary. But sometimes you win at the casino, and that's what keeps me going back to those pokies. One day i'm gonna claw my way back there we go and then hard-hitting interviews and informed opinion mike hosking on new salt and bean in the meantime here's jonathan ben the hits and as i had said jonathan ben uh there's not been too much to do in lockdown but one of the things i've been trying to do over the last well two weeks is try and get 100 on the new zealand hero daily quiz there's a little quiz they run online and it's

like who wants to be a millionaire without all the niggly millions of dollars at the end of it there's no real prize at the end of it it just comes and goes oh you got seven out of ten or you got six out of ten or you know like it's no real but i just like i just want to get 10 out of 10 and it's i mean the real prize is your family going, oh, yeah. Yeah. You know, when you come and boast about your numbers. Yeah, but numbers haven't been that good. Questions I find a little bit too difficult for me sometimes, you know,

and I thought, though, maybe as a group we could get together and after 8 o'clock this morning we could try and get 100% on this. Yeah, that's you listening as well on 0800 The Hits, and we're joined right now by the head of news from the New Zealand Herald, Murray Kirkness. Got it. Planted the seed yesterday. Ben Boyce partakes in the New Zealand Herald.co.nz daily quiz daily, don't you, Ben?

I do, and I have been doing it since lockdown. Eight out of 10 is about the best I've got. I've never cracked the 10 out of 10, and we thought we'd try it as a group, as listeners. No one's going to Google, and we're going to see if we can get 10 out of 10, Murray. Do you want me to slip you the answers early? You seem like an absolute genius. Well, that would help. That would actually really help.

That's what this calls for. Geez, a lot of people play it, Murray. Tens of thousands. Very popular piece of content on the Herald site. And, of course, in print, too. So, yeah, the quiz, things like that always do well. We've considered doing more during lockdown, actually. Yeah, people love a quiz, don't they?

And, I mean, every boomer will tell you the chase. Oh, yeah. So, bloody, my parents are into it. Ben's parents are into it. They love it. But, Murray, have you got a 10 out of 10 before? I'm a genius, as you well know. No.

The best way to do it, though, is do it the second time and remember the answers, and then you get 10 out of 10. That's right, absolutely. Thankfully, can I admit, you know, I'm also a fan of the chase. I'm obviously in your parents. Mate, they're huge fans. To be honest, I'm a fan of the chase too. Oh, there you go.

You know, the quiz, we get lots of people have a crack. It's the kind of thing that's done in smoker rooms around the country. It's done in workplaces. A bit harder in lockdown, obviously, to do it as a group. But, yeah, really popular. Okay, well, we're going to give it a crack this morning, Murray. We're going to try and get 10 out of 10. And this is just a polite phone call to say

watch out because it might melt the website if all 10 questions are answered correctly. I've got no doubt you fellas will be able to hit the 100%. Absolutely. Full confidence in you. Thank you very much, Murray. We'll let you get back to it. It's not like there's anything else going on in the world.

I know quizzes are dominating your life right now. Very quiet, very quiet. Thank you. I appreciate it, Murray. See you, Murray. All right, well, after 8 o'clock, it starts. We need your help.

No Googling. We're going to do this together. We're going to get 10 out of 10 working our way through the New Zealand Herald Daily Quiz after 8 o'clock this morning on the Hats. Spy, the WhatsApp. Spy.co.nz. Her only location of interest is whereabouts is Kim Kardashian in the moment and whatabouts is she wearing?

And how can I turn that into some form of a news bulletin? Honestly, that is sometimes the daily struggle when there's no other news. I have to go to the Kardashians. Yes, Juliet with Spy Entertainment News. Today, no Kardashian news. But yesterday we talked about how there was a cop in America who has gone viral on social media because he looks exactly like Dwayne The Rock Johnson.

And it's gone viral that Dwayne The Rock Johnson himself has noticed the photo. And he retweeted it saying, wow, the guy on the left, which is the police, is way cooler. Stay safe, brother, and thank you for your service. One day we'll drink at Terramana Tequila and I'll need to hear all your rock stories because

I know you got them. So that police officer will be fizzing. Oh, that's so wonderful. He does good shout outs to Dwayne the Rock Johnson. I love him, guys. You're coming around. Not that you weren't coming around. Yeah, thanks for you. I don't think anyone's ever been opposed to Dwayne the Rock Johnson.

He's a wonderful human being. He's a cool dude. We're just not, you know, obsessed. I understand that. Just don't have the posters and the Dwayne the Rock Johnson underpants and the tattoo on our arse. And speaking of Dwayne the Rock Johnson, Jungle Cruise sequel has been

confirmed by Disney with Dwayne the Rock Johnson and Emily Blunt returning to their main roles. So that'll be good. If you've seen Jungle Cruise and enjoyed it, then number two. Good chemistry I found in that movie. I don't know, why am I a judge of chemistry in movies? And they're very good and they're very funny in all the interviews as well. They've gone on really well.

Oh, for sure. I mean, who wouldn't? I mean, it's Dwayne The Rock Johnson. I mean, you know. But it's also Emily Blunt. I love Emily Blunt. What you wouldn't give to be Emily Blunt. Oh, she's so cool.

Yeah. Yeah. She's gold. Ben wishes he was Emily Blunt. Oh, she's so cool. Yeah. Yeah. She's gold. Ben wishes he was Emily Blunt right now doing another movie. But it felt like they were really hoping this was going to kick off into a franchise. Kind of like that. I think it was his dream to make it like Pirates of the Caribbean, you know, like get those movies happening like that.

You know, of course, based on a Disney ride and getting a franchise. And I think, well, I guess two now. So hopefully it is. Yeah. Yeah. We've all got different dreams. My dream is to come in here every morning and play St. Pierre's Sushi Jingles. You know, dreams are achievable.

Yeah, we're living it out. And Hamish Blake, he's the Hamish from the Australian comedy duo Hamish Nandy. They're known for radio, TV. They've got the successful podcast. They're kind of like a more successful version of us, too. Yeah, I would compare them to the Aussie versions. Australian version, better a more successful version of us too. Yeah, I would compare them to the Aussie versions. Australian version, better, more successful. Again, they didn't come to

they didn't want to dream about playing St. Peter's Sushi Jingles. No. They skyrocketed much further than that. They've had many TV shows on. They started in Rove, as far as New Zealand audiences would go. They did a segment on Rove when it was on TV3 and then they had their own TV show as well. So, Hamish's wife, Zoe Foster-Blake,

she has a skincare company called GoTo. It launched in 2014, and she's now sold it for $89 million. Oh, get out of here. How can a skincare company sell for that much? Oh my gosh. I mean, it does look very good. It is sold in Mecca Cosmetica,

which all the ladies will know about in New Zealand. It's a good makeup shop. But are they happy? Yeah. I'm sure they are. That is the main thing. I'm sure they're very happy. Are Zoe Foster-Blake and Hamish Blake happy?

Yes. With 89 million dollars. Are they happy in their life? Yes. I'd say so. I bet they're very happy. Yeah, I bet they are. Yeah.

Do you reckon money just takes away all your problems? If you had that amount of money, there's a certain percentage of your life that is just, it's not even a concern to you. Mortgages, bills, whatever. There would be a lot of that taken away. I mean, but there's probably not a lot of, I'm sure there's other, maybe they sold it for that.

There's probably money that gets taxed on and other things as well. I'm sure that's all going straight into a backing. I mean, the biggest issue now is just avoiding tax, isn't it? That's now the biggest Achilles heel that they face. Yeah, true. The bloody tax department. I've been trying to dodge them for years. They always catch up with you.

They do. And that is Spy. For more, you can head to thehits.co.nz. Don't forget, after 8 o'clock this morning, we need your help together. We want to get 100% on the daily quiz on the New Zealand Herald. No Googling. You can help us out,

and we're going to see if we get 100% after 8 o'clock this morning. I do my hair toss. Jono and Ben, just like family. The family members you're ashamed of. It is the hits. Jono and Ben talking about a lot of people out this morning,

because they can pick up takeaways if they do it from safely. Click and collect. There's McDonald's, and it's open from 6 o'clock this morning. It seems out of Auckland. We were a little bit jealous that people can get takeaways and deliveries today. Yeah, a lot of calls and texts flowing through. And Murray joins New Zealand's Breakfast.

How are you, Murray? How you doing? Mate, you sound... Let me guess where you are in New Zealand. Okay, Ben, you can have one guess. Oh, I would say Ashburton. Oh, Ashburton's a good one. I'm going to go like Timaru.

Close it. I was just going to say Oomaru. Oomaru. Oh, yeah. You sounded southern. Yeah, you do sound southern. Now, you were ringing up because you were surprised that a lot of people are going to McDonald's, going to takeaway places already, trying to get coffee, trying to get Big Macs.

Yes, mate, I'm astounded by the amount of stupidity that they can't go home and put their bloody kit on. Put the kit on. Think about it. What are they actually achieving? Well, no, I guess, yeah, they're achieving, they're getting a flat white, they're getting a, you know, they're getting a takeaway coffee, something that they haven't made.

Murray, what I... An excuse to get out of the house after the last lockdown, the amount of stupidity we've seen on the roads. We'd be quite thankful if they'd stayed at home for a few days and thought about it. Made your job easier, Murray. But what I wouldn't do to you, Murray, to get a coconut flat white at the moment.

Just killing for one, mate. And how much are you going to spend for that? Do you think you can stay at home and save a few bucks? Murray sounds like the way he digests coffee is he'd get the beans, pour them into his mouth, grind them with his teeth, mix them with his saliva, and that's a cup of coffee for Murray. Yeah. Maybe.

I can't elaborate just in case I get in trouble. So you've actually, in all honesty, enjoyed the quieter roads in your role, Murray? Yes. In the transport industry, we do get the odd day of hair-raising events. With nice, quiet roads, it does make our job a lot easier and safer. Well, you're keeping New Zealand running too, which we do appreciate. So thank you for doing that. Well, mate, enjoy your show.

Love your work. Keep up. Oh, thanks, Murray. Stay safe, all right? Absolutely. You guys too. See you, Murray. Stay safe, all right? Absolutely. You guys too. See you, buddy. See you, Murray.

New Zealand's breakfast. It's Jono and Ben. Got me in love. On the hits. Kia ora. Good morning. Just gone 7 o'clock, of course, for those from Auckland South. You can enjoy everything that Level 3 will bring,

which is basically like Level 4, but you get the option of takeaways. And it is the first day of spring as well. Days are going to start getting longer from now. The weather's going to start getting warmer. The first day of spring, they call it the vernal equinox, I was just reading, which means it has 12 hours of daylight at the moment and 12 hours of darkness. So it's pretty balanced at the moment as we start to get to more daylight as it gets closer to summer.

Is there a summer solstice? I know we've got talking about the solstice. I think there is, yes. There's the longest day of the year and the shortest day of the year. Yeah, so the shortest happens in the middle of winter, obviously. So Wednesday the 22nd of September is the summer solstice this year. Longest day. Wow.

Not too far away, a couple of weeks away. I remember last year we were in the same position as a country and we're like, just bring on Christmas and it'll all end. We had this thing, this mentality that if Christmas all of a sudden rolls around, COVID goes away. We felt good about it though going into summer. We had six months of really, really good times. And jeez, we were bragging about it to the rest of the world on social media.

Juliet was at her festivals. Yeah. She was posting online, your sister in London is like, you're a monster, why would you do this? I know. Now it feels like there's a bit of doom and gloom around, so let's try and be positive. It's spring, alright? Yes. And the lambs are out. Yes.

And they are delicious. Oh no! You can get them in burgers ironically today in takeaway form. That's so sad. So sad but so delicious. Oh, okay. Next, we want to reward someone who's doing amazing work for Aotearoa at the moment.

We'll do that in a few moments on the hits. Oh, legends. You guys are legends. Oh, you're legends. Jono and Ben's ISO Legends. Thanks to Skinny. You're a legend. We are rewarding lockdown legends,

people that are doing legendary work, keeping us safe while we're in our bubbles, whether that be level four or level three as of today. And if you want to nominate someone, head to thehits.co.nz. Thanks to our mates at Skinny. We want to hook them up with a pretty epic prize. Yeah, these are the Kiwis that should be rewarded by putting their faces on dollar bills.

But unfortunately, we don't have the pulling power with the Reserve Bank to get that off the ground. And we also don't have dollar bills. Yeah, sure. Maybe we should bring back dollar bills. Just put some don't have the pulling power with the Reserve Bank to get that off the ground. And we also don't have dollar bills, but maybe we should bring back dollar bills. Just put some of these people's faces on it. Some of these legends' faces on it, but yeah, these people are out there caring for others while us radio announcers, we only care about

ourselves. And we're going to make ourselves look good right now by phoning a lovely guy called Dylan, who works in a hotel. We'll get him to tell more. Hello, John. Speaking. G'day, Dylan.

How are you, mate? I'm good, thanks. How are you? Yeah, good. Have we caught you a good time, bad time? No, good time. Yeah. Look it up. I don't know why I sound like a seedy second-hand gold dealer. You do, good. Have we caught you at a good time, bad time? No, good time. I'm looking up.

I don't know why I sound like a seedy second-hand gold dealer. You do, actually. It's Jono and Ben calling from the Hits radio station. Oh, no way. How are you guys doing? We're doing all right, mate. Are you meant to be awake right now, or have we rudely awoken you? Yeah, no, no, this morning was a sleep-in, so I am meant to be awake. Mate, well, this is a good phone call, we must say, Dylan, because you've been nominated as a lockdown legend, an ISO legend. Summer and Bridget have nominated you.

They say you work the longest hours out of anyone they know, and you've always got a smile on your face, which is awesome. Oh, nice. That's what it is. So tell everyone what you actually do for a job, because we understand it's changed in the last couple of days too. Yes, I work in MIQ, so my job is not really what it used to be. Yeah.

Lots of change, and it's been a pretty crazy past year and a half. But I have an awesome team, so it makes life a little bit easier. And we understand your facility's just been turned into a hotel to house people who have contracted Delta. Yeah, we're not sure when that's happening, but, yeah, I guess the community at the moment is, yeah, a little bit wild, so we're just trying to help out where we can, I guess. Oh, that's awesome that you guys are doing that.

It sounds like you've been doing long hours, sorting out everyone in MIQ as well, which is helping keep New Zealand running. So because you've been doing a lockdown legend, we want to give you from our mates at Skinny a $500 pack-and-save voucher. Oh, wicked. Which we're going to give to you. And as well as that, we're going to give you a six-month Skinny credit as well. Oh, no way. That's awesome. Thank you guys so much for that.

No, you must be double-vaxxed, are you? Yeah, yeah. I got mine quite a while ago now, actually. Yeah, well, rightfully so as well. Rightfully so. On a personal level, how is it going to work every day? A little anxious? Nah, it's pretty safe, to be honest.

It's nice to feel safe there. Yeah, and that's why you are a lockdown legend. Oh, that's pretty safe, to be honest. It's nice to feel safe there. Yeah, and that's why you are a lockdown legend. Oh, that's wicked. Thank you guys so much. No worries. Sorry to wake you up because it sounded like you normally get up at 4 o'clock in the morning so this is your sleep and I'm like, oh, sorry about that. Well, thank you for doing everything you do to keep the country running, all right?

Oh, thank you guys so much. I appreciate that. What a lovely gentleman. He's awesome. If you want to nominate someone, head to the? Oh, thank you guys so much. I appreciate that. What a lovely gentleman. He's awesome. If you want to nominate someone here to the hitstock.nz, and thanks to our mates at Skinny, we could be hooking them up. And Skinny at the moment are helping with, they've got capped wireless broadband customers.

They're helping them get through the lockdown with free data, a bonus 60 gigabytes, if I said that correctly, of free data to their capped wireless broadband customers. I don't even know what gigabytes are, but I've said them for so many years that it's too late to, when you meet someone and you learn their name, but then you forget their name and too much time passes for you to go back, it would be too hard for me to go back and ask what gigabytes are. So I'll just happily roll with it.

That's right. If you want to nominate someone into the hits, stockco.nz. Pajamas all day? Fine with us? Trotto and Pan. New Zealand's breakfast. nominate someone into the hits.co.nz Such a sweet song that it is the hits, Jono and Ben, 7.13 We're just reminiscing how on Friday we're doing a non-stop five words bonanza to give away the $5,000

and Ben you were locked in the soundproof booth and that song was playing and I just threw out a question to the group. Just to wind me up Hey, I just said, what do you think of Pink's daughter's singing? That's all I said. Yeah, but the way you said it, you knew you'd get a reaction out of me and I was like, what? Are you going to have a go

at Pink's? And then I went hang on, he's winding me up. Beamer's like, it's adorable! It's the best part of that song. And then I was like, oh hang on, he's winding me up. But I didn't say what, I thought of the singing. Yeah, it's the way you sit, you're pushing my buttons, and you play well played.

I got him in a moment of weakness too, he was tired, he was delirious, and I apologise, bed boys. Now, a little bugbear, and I'm sure you've probably come across this too, is nowadays when you're on a website or you're wanting to get a hold of a business, no one wants you to contact them, but they want to appear like they're contactable. Do you suffer this, too? So if you're like on, what do you go shopping on? Oh, let's say the Iconic.

Iconic. And there's something wrong with the product you're receiving. You're like, oh, I need to call someone. I want to talk with my lips and I want to hear their lips moving back and have a human to human interaction. And you go and look for a phone number on a website. There's no phone numbers. It's always like, join us

on Facebook. Send us a message in the feedback section. You can't find a phone number. You have to get a Russian hacker. It's true. And even founders at this stage, I wanted to cancel something I'd signed up for and then I couldn't find an email. i couldn't find a contact email and i'd go through a loop it was basically stuck in this loop going would you want to yeah and i went yes you go through and go

yep i want to get someone and then i go was that helpful i'm like no no it's not helpful was that helpful no it wasn't because i want to contact then you go back through a loop again just trying to find that again then you go back to go was all all this helpful? I was like, no, it's not helpful. I just want to contact someone. And it's because nowadays no one can be asked hearing what you've got to say. If I was them, I don't want to hear what I've got to say or complain about. It's not going to be positive, is it? But I want to look like that I'm approachable.

I want to look like I'm offering customer service without wanting to service any customers. And then when you do finally decipher through Italian and Mandarin interpreters what the phone number is, you get through to it and they offer up a menu of 24 different options, 24 different departments. And so you have to politely listen to them all and go, oh, is that my one? No. Is that my one? No. Then you finally get to the end of the 24 because you've had to hear everything

and then you've forgotten what department might be able to help you back. Yeah. I find also with when you do get through to customer service, and it must be a really tough job dealing with customers, especially like myself, but you get to the end of it, sometimes they're like,

oh, well, you can't do this or they do that. They can't actually help you. And then they're like, anything else we can help you with? I'm like, this is the reason i'm wrong with two things i'm just wrong with one thing we couldn't resolve that is anything else i can help you with today i'm like well i've got some washing i need folding you want to help with that what do you want me to make up another issue when you haven't solved my first issue but yeah it's like you go to the website for that okay all, okay, all right, I've tried that, but I'll go back there now.

Remember the good old days where you could just wait on a phone line and just panic push zero? And it would take you through to some poor soul who had to deal with everyone's complaints. You'd just go, zero, zero! Or you could even, there was a stage in technology where you'd be like, operator! Operator!

Those were the good old complaining days. Now we just get to do it on the radio every morning. That's how we get our complaints away. operator. Those were the good old complaining days. Now we just get to do it on the radio every morning. That's how we get our complaints away. Hey, we've got five words, 5K, it's back again. Five grand up for grams very surely on the hits. From the socially distantly safe two metres, stay away.

This is New Zealand's Breakfast with Jono and Ben. Ben and Jono call this show Jono and Ben. Breakfast on the hits. The hits. You're on the hits, Jono and Ben. Ben and Jono call this show Jono and Ben. Breakfast on the hits. The hits. You're on the hits, Jono and Ben. Now the adult toy megastore.

They've released some stats. I didn't know there was a megastore of adult toys. They've released some data during the lockdown, level four lockdown, saying adult toys sales have more than doubled around the country. A significant increase in the 24 hours after Jacinda's first announcement saying adult toys sales have more than doubled around the country. A significant increase in the 24 hours after Jacinda's first announcement saying we're going into lockdown level four. And then they shamed some regions. Well, not ashamed, but they basically named some regions who have had the most sales over the lockdown period.

Let's have a guess. I'm going to go, hmm, Palmy or Gizzy. Oh, I thought, well, yeah, Palmy had the alcohol sales, remember, the other day. They might go hand in hand. Yeah, but was Pukekohe was 160% Mount Maunganui at 100% more sales than usual. No, we spoke to a proprietor of adult toys just last week, and she was saying they're not deemed essential. Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

So how did they get out? I think I heard that it got changed somewhere. Like I heard it somewhere that they were like, oh, yep, no, that's now essential. Who made the flip? Who had to make that call? I think it was after Chris Hipkins said this, wasn't it? Look, it is a challenge in higher density areas for people to get outside

and to spread their legs when they are just boosted sales. This is thriving business at the know. Just boosted sales. Maybe it was. This is thriving business at the moment. So there you go. I love how these stats come out, you know. The other day it was how much drinking, you know, like how much we're buying, and now it's this, and I guess it's not on the news.

If they haven't been delivered, there'll be a huge backlog of... Just... Piled up. Just a mountain of them. Yeah. We got five words for $5,000 not too far away. It is the hits.

You've got New Zealand's breakfast. Five words for 5K on the hits. You're only five words away from a massive payday. Every morning we do it. Five words for $5,000. Our game of word association. Put five grand on the line if we match up all five words. Now we had a winner on Friday with the non-stop game of five words

must win Friday. And this is not, I'd like to point out, this is not like your champagne arcade claw machine where you see someone have a win, they pull out a plushie, and then the limp fingers of the claw just kind of slightly caress the toys in the machine for the next three days. It's not like that. We can have winners one after the other.

We had a period there a couple of months ago. We had three winners in a week and a half. Yeah. Gave Boss Todd a heart attack. He fled to Australia. We haven't seen him in three months, but we've got Kim on the phone. Welcome. Yeah.

How's Palmy, Kimbo? Oh, pretty good today. You're in level 3, mate. What are you doing? Getting ready for work, actually. I'm a teacher, so going to school today for Level 3 Central Workers. Oh, of course. That's back happening around everywhere south of Auckland.

Right, yeah. Have you got many kids showing up today? Do you know? We've got 10 that we know of, so only one class, unless more. Oh, well, good. Well, thank you for doing that. How's the homeschooling been from your lappy? Yeah, well, it's, yeah. Yeah. I've got my own kids as well, so trying to do, like, Google Hangouts with young children with dodgy internet and have my own kids, it's just been great. I'm looking forward to going to school today. Yeah, I bet you

I have a breather. Well, Ben's wife's in the same position, Amanda. She's a teacher and also teaching kids at home. Yeah, it's a busy time juggling all that, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. Anyway. We think it's easier than last time because we realise that everybody needs it for their mental health, so yeah. Good on you, Kim.

Well, well done on doing what you've done, and let's see if we can give you $5,000. Who are you going to send into the sound booth? Ben, please. Ben's going in. It's actually the same box they use on that show, Naked Attraction. The amount of butt-naked people we've bumped into

inside that booth, I tell you, Kim. Lucky you guys are on the radio. We've got a list long as an arm. And other things were longer than arms in there as well. All right, mate, let's try and win you $5,000. Ben Boyce is locked in the SPB. He's safe and sound. Don't you worry about him.

First word that comes into your head, Kim, from Palmerston North is Richie. McCaw. No other option in Altair. Oh, it really is there Cushion is your second word this morning Kimbo Cushion

Couch Couch cushion We'll think about it My son's helping me here Couch is a good option Backspace Coming into word number three Backspace My son's helping me here. Yeah, couch is a good option. Backspace, coming in at word number three. Backspace?

Yeah, Backspace. Oh, on a keyboard, on a computer, what do you want to say? Backspace button? Backspace button? I don't know. Button? Gosh. Come on, this isn't looking good for 5,000.

Make it easier. Are you going to lock and button? Sure. Yep, good work. Caramel, word number four. Go and consult with your son there, Kim. Caramel milkshake. Milkshake?

Yeah, good option. Yum. Great option. Yum. And tinned, T-I-N-N-E-D. Tinned. Oh. Tinned.

Tinned, as in canned. Yeah. Tinned food. Tinned. Yeah, tinned food. Tinned food. They were some tough words this morning, Kim. Cushion.

Anything different for cushion? Um, perhaps my life. I love how much she's deliberating. Hello? Yeah. Oh, what if we change it and then it's wrong? Christian, no couch. Okay, we'll go with that.

Couch, all right. There we go. They've locked all five words in this morning. Okay. And Ben Boyce coming out from the soundproof booth. I tell you what, they were tough this morning, Ben. I'm not going to lie. Come on, Ben.

It's not what I want to hear. All right, okay. All right. We do this every single morning. It's become part of our routine, hasn't it? I'm ashamed to say I do this more often than I brush my teeth in the morning. But, Kim, let's see if we can get you 5K. Ben Boyce, you've got to match your five words with Kimbo's. Here we go.

Here we go. You know how the game works. Richie. McCaw. Cushion. Cushion. Couch. Oh good. There's a bit of back and forth on that one Kim. You must feel good. Yes. Huge. Backspace. Backspace.

Keyboard? Backspace. Backspace. Um, keyboard? No. Okay, I heard Kim muttering the word keyboard as well. We didn't say that yet. Oh, no. What did Kim go with? She went button. Oh, button.

Yeah, that's a good one. Yeah. Caramel. Uh, ooh, slice? It's options. There's lots of options for caramel, all right? Yeah. Tinned. Food.

Oh, man. Okay, what is that? Three, two, three. Three out of five. Three. Okay. It's a pass. It's a pass in teaching, right?

You know, we get a pass for that, but we're not quite enough to get $5,000. Yeah, I reckon three correct should be $3,000. You'd get excellence in NCEA, wouldn't you? Well done. I'm an excellent teacher, sorry. I don't know the NCEA. Doesn't know that curriculum. So, Kimbo, thank you so much.

You look after yourself and Parmi, and good luck teaching the essential workers' children today. Thank you. Good on you. Juice, bye. Next, what's happening? Yeah, there's a secret among the wiggles that has been revealed, and today. Thank you. You got it on you. Jew Spy next. What's happening? Yeah, there's a secret among the wiggles

that has been revealed and it may shock you. I'll tell you what it is next. Spy. Know what's up. Spy.co.nz All right, time now to producer Juliet and I tell you what,

there's no mask big enough to hide the pure joy that appears on Juliet's face when her future husband Harry Styles breaks up with his current girlfriend. Oh, I know. I'm waiting for that to happen. But in other news,

while I wait for that to happen, the Blue Wiggle, Anthony Field, the OG, He's been the one there since the get-go, right? Since the get-go. He revealed something that was very shocking, that the whole time since being a Wiggle, he's been miming songs i know but i watched a lot of it i thought you all sang no for years i mimed believe this or not

i mimed simon's voice for years i had this low voice people would ask me to sing in public then they'd be very disappointed so all this time he was not the one actually singing and so he'd just go along with it i know maybe he threw the backing vocals but maybe he's.

Yeah, he plays a lot of the instruments as well, you know, so he's obviously pretty talented and I think he writes a lot of the songs but maybe his singing's not as. Yeah, he doesn't rate his singing to be good enough. But it's safe to your numbers with the Wiggles, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah, they're kind of all, if they're all doing it together, you're safe. Yeah.

You can pick up the weaker one, like mask wearing. No one's judging any particular Wiggle on their singing ability. Yeah. Emma seems like the standout talent. Yeah. She's great. She seems like the all-round package, doesn't she? She is good.

Yeah. And I think, because you know how they've expanded the Wiggles a little bit recently? One of the guys was on like a reality TV show or something. Love Island. Yeah, was it Love Island or something? No, I don't know. I just made that up. And there was a photo of him on this reality TV show, ripped shirt off and everything.

And then it's him compared to him being on the Wiggles. But then Anthony, the OG Wiggle, he's buff too now. Really? Oh, yeah. Wow, incredible Wiggles. He wishes he could get that skivvy off.

that, we may need your help very shortly on the Hits. Tens of thousands of people play this, but there'll be only one team that gets 10 out of 10 today.

Do we know the answers to these questions? Yeah, this is using nature's Google, our brains. And I've had to clear a lot of my history in my brain to partake in today, Ben Boyce. There was a lot of useless information clogging up, deleted the cookies in there and everything. Now we left on a cliffhanger. This was question number three. Question three.

Exposure to what turned Bruce Banner into the Hulk in the original comics? Now I thought it was maybe like Gamma Rays. I feel like that was something from my memory. You said it confidently in a trademark Ben Boyce movie, then lost confidence immediately after. Yeah, yeah. Started questioning himself.

Yeah. So gamma rays. Now, there's a slew of texts that have come through from the fine people of Aotearoa on 4487. Someone's texting saying it was those Cody's, 10% Cody's cans that turned the Hulk into the Hulk. Oh, that's an option, I guess. Back in the day.

But Cody, speaking of Cody, we've got someone the Hulk into the Hulk. That's an option, I guess. Cody, speaking of Cody, we've got someone called Cody on the phone. You're locking in what, Cody? Gamma rays. It is gamma rays. You seem confident. What are gamma rays? Gamma rays.

I don't actually know what gamma rays are. I bet they can turn you into the Hulk, so you need to watch out. I don't actually know what Gamma Rays are. No, but they can turn you into the Hulk, so you need to watch out. I don't even think Kevin Boyce knew what Gamma Rays were when he was starting to get it. He was worried about the remote control. Giving him the Gamma Rays. Okay, I'm going to lock this. Shall I lock it in? I lock in Gamma Rays. Yes! Thank you, Cody.

Three month subscription to the New Zealand Herald of Digital subscription coming your way And we move to question number four Question four Who played Gordon Gekko In movies released in 1987 And 2010 Michael Douglas It's Michael Douglas How do you know that you've not seen any movies

Wait, why do you... No. Why would I just come out with Michael Douglas? Because that's the sort of person you are. But then I've immediately put a question mark over it by referencing... I'm sure it's a Wall Street movie. It's not... It's not Waffle Wall Street.

It's not Waffle Wall Street. It's the original Waffle Wall Street. Waffle Wall Street's a remake. No. No, it's not. The Waffle Wall Street's about a guy's life who wasn't Gordon Gekko. But, I mean, you might be right. I'm not saying you're not wrong.

But I feel like Michael Douglas was in a movie called Wall Street. And it might have had a sequel. Waffle Wall Street. Oh, well, that's not the question though. No no that's not the question. I'm sorry I bamboozled everyone. Lock in Michael, write Michael Douglas. I put my good name to Michael Douglas. 4487 on the text anyone quickly? Anyone? Anyone? I'll have a quick check before you click the button. Someone said Michael Douglas on 4487.

Was it you? Yes. Okay Michael Douglas. Yes. Oh, good one. Right, it comes through. Michael Douglas. Why would you even question that? I would. You just said Wolf of Wall Street made me question that.

So far, 100% so far in the New Zealand Herald Daily Quiz, we're doing this for your help so help us out four four eight seven was the tv show spooks spooks s-p-o-o-k-s an american australian or british show about spies i haven't seen this show seems like a show any and john

We're trying to call reception. That's alright, listen, it's just John Owen being calling from the hits here. Now, sorry to catch you, you're in the

newsroom, you're probably very busy, I can't think of any big topical event that's happening at the moment that you'd be caught up with. But we are in the middle of the New Zealand Herald quiz, and we're trying to get through it without Googling any questions. And the question that we have, and we're stuck on, we think is a TVNZ show, and we're wondering if you know the answer.

It's possible I would. Okay, so the TV show Spooks. Is it an American, Australian, or a British TV show about spies? Spooks. British? You're going to look in British with that confidence. Huge confidence there. We were leaning towards British too, but you didn't sound super confident. You're British with a question mark.

I think that's the confidence we need. We've only got two phone of friends. We were trying to ring reception. Somehow we got through the newsroom. Sorry to let you down. Yeah, you've only got the newsroom. Lock it in, Ben. We'll see how British goes.

Does anyone know on the text, of course?

down, are we? Yeah, this is the eighth question. Seven from seven. Oh, this is so good. Help us out. No Googling, but can we get 10 out of 10

Well, it's the only book I've ever read or know about that talks about Big Brother. He loved that reality TV show, didn't he? That's the only thing she said to us all morning.

She's just been scrolling through Instagram in silence. She just pops out with an absolute blinder. So, as Ben mentioned, we are seven from seven. Question number eight. Question eight. So, it involves a Monaco prince, and he married someone in 1956. So, I'm guessing it's got to be someone pretty famous, right? So, there is one name that keeps popping up on the text, 4487.

Producer Humphrey said there's a common theme on 0800 The Hits. But we're at this point where we don't want... There's some other names being chucked out there as well. Marilyn Monroe is one. But we're going to go through, for drama purposes, and just to make an unnecessary toll call. We're allowed to find a friend. We gave ourselves that.
