The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast.
Welcome to the podcast.
Today, it's Friday.
Jeez, first full week in a while, and we're really working hard, weren't we, Ben?
I'll tell you who's working hard, though, and we just had a little snippet of that today.
We were doing the radio show, and where we broadcast from, it's like a big glass box, isn't it?
It kind of feels like you're at a zoo, we're on display.
Anyone that comes into the building, we're on display.
But you can see through it.
We're the animals that people walk past and go,
they don't give us much time.
They want to have a peek.
Oh, yes, I've seen those.
You need to go through the big bangers,
the Mike Hoskings of the buildings.
That's where you want to spend your time.
He's the lions, isn't he?
He's like the active lions.
But what we can look out through into the reception area,
and there's the lifts outside.
And very, very early this morning,
Eric Murray,
you know,
former Olympic rower is on Dancing with the Stars.
He was out there
with his dance partner
from Dancing with the Stars
obviously waiting
to do an interview
on another radio station.
What I found really interesting
was they were obviously waiting
and then they were like,
they just started dancing
out there in the courtyard.
No one around.
Dance like nobody's watching.
The only person watching
was me.
Outside of your weird glass box
because I was talking to you as we were doing a break on the radio,
and I could tell you weren't fully engaged with my conversation.
And you were looking past me, smiling and nodding.
I was like, oh, they're dancing.
And at the end of it, Eric Murray sort of looked up,
and I was smiling away at him,
and he sort of sheepishly gave me a thumbs up.
But I would imagine that they just have to dance all the time
in every opportunity, because they have to learn these dances every week.
Oh, jeez.
I mean, that was an early morning waltz.
We're talking sort of 6.30, quarter to 7, wasn't it,
that we saw them this morning?
I gave it a 10.
Did you?
10.
I'll keep you in the competition.
Well, you can't because it depends what the script says
according to Dancing With The Stars.
So we'll see if it's their turn to be kicked off this week.
Look, I understand there are people, you know,
like there has been some big stars already, you know, big dancers.
But at the end of the day, it is a TV show, you know.
And that's the thing we all need to take a breath
and remember it's a TV show.
It's all fake.
Well, I don't know if it's all fake.
I'm just kidding.
I don't know if it's all fake.
But at the end of the day, it is still a TV show.
We're getting quite wowed.
And I understand because Eli was an amazing dancer, Johnny.
And obviously Sonia Gray was as well.
And it didn't seem like they deserved to be kicked off.
Shall we go back to the beginning of the pandemic to give us something to all put things into perspective with?
We've quickly forgotten about that.
Now we're getting rolled up about this.
But I imagine, too, if you're in that world, too, that's your world.
Oh, exactly.
You're dancing 29 hours a day.
And they wanted to win it.
And they definitely deserve to still be in the competition.
So I've got it for them, but hey.
Let's just, you know, pull it together guys.
Pull it together New Zealand. Okay.
Who do you want to win the competition, Ben?
Oh look, I don't, you know me, I don't like to
choose anyone. Why?
Well because I don't. You know, I don't have any
allegiance to it. I mean, I like to be
honest, I mean Sonia's a friend of, you know,
a really good friend of my wife, so probably at the start
I would have said Sonia, but at the end, we've worked with Eli.
He's great.
Kerry Woodham works at the studio.
He's great.
They're all wonderful people, Johnny.
I don't want to choose anyone.
Who would you like to win?
Thanks, Wins.
The social media guy.
Who's that?
Daz.
I think it was Vaz.
Vaz.
He's on reality shows.
Yeah.
He's also big on social media.
You know who's actually really good is Jazz Thornton, who you may not know. She has a massive TikTok audience, but she's a mental health advocate. She's awesome reality shows. Yeah. He's also big on social media. You know who's actually really good is Jazz Thornton,
who you may not know.
She has a massive TikTok audience, but she's a mental health advocate.
She's awesome, mate.
She's actually really good.
Yeah, they're all really good.
Her and Kerry, I love.
Yeah, they are all fantastic dancers.
I just could not.
Even if I had training 29 hours a day, I don't think I'd get any better.
No, that's the thing.
My kids will watch you dance on TikTok,
and they'll get that straight away.
And then they'll try and, Dad, we'll teach it to you.
Not to put it online, but it's just like,
as soon as they teach me a thing, I instantly forget it.
And I'm not doing it again.
They're like, stop it, you're being stupid.
I'm like, I'm not.
I just can't retain any of this.
That's when you know you're really bad,
when people go, stop it, you're being stupid. And you're like, no.
I'm trying to.
How did that go?
It's so simple. Just do your hand up like that.'m trying to. How did that go? It's so simple.
Just do your hand up like that.
I can't.
I just lost it.
It's gone.
I am so like, I couldn't get more whiter,
a more middle-aged white guy than me.
Honestly.
And it makes me like dancing.
Oh, jeez.
When it comes up at a party or, you know.
My theory is they should do drunk dancing with the stars.
You have three or four drinks.
You get out there.
You just make it up.
And the DJ puts on a song.
You're like, oh, yeah, the song.
And you don't even know what you're dancing to.
And then you're like, yeah.
And at the end of it, they're like, oh, you gave it a crack.
It was a good thing.
A bit sloppy there.
You smacked a lady by accident in the face with your hand
when you put your hands up in the air.
You were carrying a drink.
You didn't spill any of it.
They do that every week.
I'd probably sign up for that.
Yeah.
But not actual non-drunk.
But is the audience sober?
So the audience is sober, though.
They have to judge us.
Stars come out.
And there's nothing worse
than you're sober than a drunk person.
You don't want to drink.
Yeah, but you're right.
People at home aren't drunk,
so they're all going to judge you.
That's the beauty of the format.
Drunk does all the stuff.
You just watch drunk celebrities.
Yeah, I like it.
Let's chuck that in the mix, mate.
But no learning. Just get out there. Don't even know the song. What did you guys do at your Drunk celebrities. Yeah, I like it. Let's chuck that in the mix, mate.
But no learning.
Just get out there.
Don't even know the song.
What did you guys do at your wedding?
Did you do a dance,
Jono?
I did, yeah.
It was to Fleetwood
Max everywhere.
So you danced
at your wedding,
though?
Yeah, not well.
Not well.
And my wife is a dancer.
She danced for many years.
Did you have a routine
or did you just
kind of make it up?
Yeah, we had a,
yeah, but oh.
It was just like
just step forward,
step back, just keep it just step forward, step back.
Just keep it, step forward, step back.
Do you know what I did, Bell Crawford,
is I didn't want to dance, obviously, in front of everyone.
So I had, I was doing a TV show at the time and we had a mascot, like a giant fox.
Someone would get in a fox costume.
So I brought that over to Fiji for it
and got one of my mates.
As soon as I started dancing, I'm like,
give me 10 seconds, come on out there,
dressed as a fox.
And he tapped me on the shoulder
and then he took over
and I sat down
and that was,
I was like,
wonderful,
wonderful little performance.
I got a little bit of showmanship
and I got to not dance.
So I was like,
this was great.
Now Ben's wife has
little fox babies with her.
Oh,
is that how that happens?
Cutest little fox babies
you'll ever see.
Enjoy the podcast
and we'll catch you on Monday.
Two semi-competent dads handing out semi-competent parenting advice.
Jono and Ben on the hits.
Friday morning, the first full week for many people in a long time.
How do you feel?
You went out last night on the rag, didn't you?
Oh, I went out for some work drinks.
On the tip.
A little bit tired, but it was nice to do because it's been so long since we've been able to do something like that.
It was awesome to see people out and about and see work people that year.
Like kind of chat to people, you're like, oh, hey.
You're a person.
You work in the office and we haven't probably seen each other even though we've been here for two years.
And it does feel like the first week where things have been back to normality.
Yeah, right.
How many times did you have that conversation last night?
A lot, slightly, yeah, heaps.
It's good.
It feels like things are getting back to normal.
Yeah, back to normal.
Oh, traffic, oh, it's back. Yeah, slightly, yeah, heaps. It's good, it feels like things are getting back to normal. Yeah, back to normal, back to, oh, traffic,
oh, it's back,
yeah,
yeah,
that sort of stuff,
yeah.
Well,
this morning I spent
a large part of the morning
around 4,
4,
4.30,
chasing my new dog
around the lawn
because,
you know,
I,
getting up in the middle
of the night,
small bladder on a new puppy,
you have to take them out
to,
you know,
nature calls.
And so that's,
that's my job
in the middle of the night when I wake up and I take them out.
But now he's kind of cottoning on that, well, this is his chance for freedom out on the lawn.
Gotcha.
Yeah.
And at 4.30 in the morning, there's no light.
It's pitch black.
And he runs off.
And I'm running around the lawn trying to find this dog,
which is kind of the size of a rat on steroids,
and he's got the pace of a Formula One car or meth.
Like, this dog just, like, goes.
And like a horror movie, you know,
where you're looking around and you hear,
pitter-patter of feet.
And then you look over that way and pitter-patter of feet.
Well, he's probably thinking it's a bit of a game now too, right?
He's probably enjoying the, you know, oh, this is fun.
He gets to run around.
If I could pick anything to do at 4.30 in the morning, anything,
that wouldn't even be in my top 100.
Because you've got the advantage bow.
Your Samoyed is huge.
You're just looking at a giant cloud run around.
And he's white too, so you can see that in the night.
But you're right.
Yeah, but with you, yeah, there's those things in the morning
that you just want to do.
Like if the cat or the dog have an accident
or maybe there was cat vomit the other day
and I was like, oh, four in the morning.
Did you deal with cat vomit or did you leave it?
I've left it once before.
I think it was the dog.
Who don't know what animal it was.
Maybe it was me after last night.
But one time I left it.
Last time I was like, I can't do that again.
I can't pretend I haven't seen it.
Why is your cat vomiting so much?
No, I think it was the dog.
I don't know.
I say it now and again.
They do it.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
I don't know.
I'm not a vet.
Well, you've got the advantage.
Now we've got the advantage to blame animals for things that happen around the house.
Because they can't talk back.
No one's going to get too angry at an animal.
Exactly.
This is actually a great addition to the fence.
It's like when you have a baby.
Oh, it must have been the baby who knocked that over, you know?
Scrolling through your feed.
There's a surgeon wanting to get to the heart of the news
with his scalpel.
Take it away, Ben.
Well, so one of New Zealand's largest supermarket chains, Countdown,
it's going to be freezing prices on 500 items
in response
to the cost of living crisis, which is awesome.
So they're calling winter staples, so tomatoes, butter, cheese, sugar, flour, ham and more,
whatever price it's at, they're at May 9, which is a couple of days away, will stay
there right through winter, no matter what happens with inflation.
Oh, that's a lovely gesture.
I do have a question, though.
What happens if these items become cheaper to produce?
Like, if they've locked in a $98 courgette
because it's the price in two days' time,
and, you know, we get to July and we're like,
courgettes are only $2 to grow now.
They're like, mate, price freeze.
Price freeze.
We're doing the good thing.
You've really found a loophole
in what I thought was a really wonderful thing from countdown.
Yeah, I always like to look at the negative.
The other thing is they've got three days
to bump the prices up.
They're going to go May 9th.
$100 now. Everything was really
expensive, but we'll keep it there for winter.
We're talking about a multinational
supermarket here, Ben. It's not a
charity, but it is a lovely gesture. Yeah, I'm going to give
them the benefit of the doubt here and say
well done, Countdown. So 500 items
are going to be, you know, the cost of living is going to be frozen on the price of the doubt here and say, well done, countdown. So 500 items are going to be, you know, the cost of living
is going to be frozen on the price of those items.
Now you feel like once one of these
operators makes the
move, the rest will follow, you would imagine?
Yeah, hopefully they will.
I know there were calls the other day for the government to take GST
off food. Oh really? Yeah, but huge call.
Huge call. Government are like, um...
You realise how
we pay to run this country, Ryan?
It was spent billions and billions over the last two years.
And we've been having a chuckle at this this morning.
An American prankster, his name is Alex Stein, so he's got a big social media following.
He managed to somehow, I don't know how he somehow, infiltrated a Wellington Council Zoom committee meeting.
And he put on one heck of a performance.
He ran in there, he started talking.
Everyone's all over Zoom. They're about wellington and stuff with the council and then he talked about
how he had had covid and uh things aren't going well because he had covid he was struggling to
make love to his wife and he put on a heck of an awkward performance have a listen i'm stuck in a
foreign country by myself having no idea what to do and i need your help because i'm telling you
guys the reason why she left me is because i can't make love to her and i need your help because i'm telling you guys the reason why she left me
is because i can't make love to her and i'm stuck in new zealand by myself and i don't know what to
do and i'm so alone and i tried to date again and nobody has done anything with the girl
so everyone's kind of looking and i guess everyone's like is he legit who's I miss her so much I can still smell the vodka on her breath kiss me goodbye
so everyone's kind of looking
and I guess everyone's like is he legit
who's this guy do I not know
and no one really wanted to make the move
go hey
it was a one man ten minute performance
about how he's failing to
satisfy his wife who's left him
for another man she's gone back to America
but in that situation
you wouldn't know
what to do
because you need to
give the guy
the benefit of the doubt
go oh is he
oh okay
and then
they're not all together
either to go
is this guy
do you know this guy
so they're all separate
in their places
how did he get into the meeting
I don't know
he's a professional
online troll apparently
and that's what he does
beautiful performance
and it was a great performance
you know it's one of those ones
jeez it would have been awkward at the time for him You know, it's one of those ones, geez,
it would have been awkward
at the time for him.
Yeah.
But later it's funny
but at the time you're like,
oh,
geez,
this is awkward.
Yeah,
you and me were just like,
I couldn't commit to that.
I'd pull out after 30 seconds
and go,
oh,
no,
no,
this is a joke,
this is a joke.
So well done Alex,
that's beautiful stuff
and that's going to go viral
and the Wellington Council
are going to look awesome.
And that's what's making news
this morning in New Zealand at 6.15 on The Hits.
Rise and shine.
Time to start the, um, who are we kidding?
When are the both of you?
Jono and Ben on The Hits.
Mother's Day on Sunday, and thanks to Celebration Box,
who have gift boxes for any occasion, sweet treats, flowers,
and gift boxes delivered right around New Zealand at celebrationbox.co.nz.
Of course, they have have Mother's Day collection available
now. One lucky mum
has won not only a celebration box but
a full page ad in the New Zealand
Herald on Sunday and Emily joins us
right now on 0800THETHITS. Emily
you've won this for your mum.
That is so exciting. She is going to
absolutely kill me but very very cool.
Yeah great. I mean mums love
being in full page ads in the newspaper. If I know mums that's what they love. cool. Yeah, great. I mean, mums love being in full-page ads in the newspaper.
If I know mums, that's what they love.
Oh, but it's cute.
I mean, everyone's going to look at this and go,
oh, my goodness, I wish I'd got this for my mum.
That's what I'll be thinking.
That's right, me too, yeah.
Yeah, but no one else can afford the price of this full-page ad.
So we're going to get a little bit of brainstorming
about what you want to put in the ad,
the copy, as they call it, to meet the deadline.
You just fill in the blanks here, Emily, okay?
Sure.
Hi, I'm here to fill in this full-page ad in the Herald on Sunday
about the greatest mum in the world.
Her name is...
Claire.
Good, solid mum name.
Good mum name, yeah.
Reliable, wouldn't let you down.
She's just fantastic, but not as fantastic as the pet name she has for me.
She likes to call me...
Flossie.
Flossie? Flossie?
Flossie.
Flossie.
Flossie.
Flossie.
Are you a big fan of oral hygiene?
Yeah.
You'd think, right? I don't know where it came from.
I like Flossie, though. Hello, Flossie.
Sometimes that happens with names that your parents call you.
You're like, where's the origin story of this name?
Why are you calling me bumpkin and things?
Yeah.
There's no limit to what mum will do for me,
including that embarrassing time when I...
Oh, so my mum once gave me some really great advice
and stopped me from long-term dating a guy I think here and
working at a souvenir store for life.
Oh, you worked at a souvenir store and you were nearly working there for life.
You were going to be a lifer.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Going nowhere, basically.
I like souvenir stores.
Yeah.
They're great for, you know.
I've probably had a tough run with no tourists over the last couple of years, but you're
right, yeah.
Tell you what we love in a New Zealand souvenir shop, a bloody sheepskin rug.
We do, don't we? It's lanolin.
How many sheepskin
rugs do you reckon you hogged off in your time?
I honestly couldn't tell you.
Hundreds probably. I reckon so many tourists would
arrive back home going, why did I buy
a sheepskin rug?
Alright, here we go. We'll continue on with your mum's
ad. A lot of people think their mum
is the best, but they don't compare to my mum because she's the best at...
Oh, pouring ice cream.
Pouring ice cream?
Yeah, she's a Mr. Whippy, so she's lots of experience.
Oh, how amazing is that?
Your mum's Mr. Whippy.
Jeez, you would have been the favourite growing up.
Yeah, no, very cool.
It's not what we go down for only, Jeez, you would have been the favourite growing up. Yeah, no, very cool.
It's not what we go down for only,
but it's one of the reasons we like to go and visit Mum.
So this Mother's Day, I want to sing to her in a full-page ad in the Herald on Sunday.
Oh, just from me and my sister and our kids and partners and stuff,
just that we love you and thank you for everything you do.
Beautiful.
Well, Claire is going to get the surprise of a lifetime
when she opens the paper on Sunday, the Herald on Sunday,
and sees herself emblazoned in a full page, Ed.
But obviously all about Claire and wishing her a happy Mother's Day.
Thank you so much.
That's really cool.
Good on you, mate.
Thanks to Celebration Box.
Yeah.
So go check out their amazing collection of gifts
and gift boxes online at celebrationbox.co.nz.
And if you want the opposite of a Celebration Box,
then you can buy a Jono Prize commiseration box
just full of rotten old prunes and expired jerky.
So that's available too online.
Tested safe for listing from home.
Jono and Ben on the hit.
Busiest week in New Zealand for traffic this week.
Of course, a lot of people returning for the second term of school
and back to work after the orange light setting kicked in.
So we keep saying it, but it is good to see New Zealand kind of returning to normality.
Yeah, and I'm sure it sucks the kumara having to sit in that traffic,
but jeez, it's good for breakfast radio.
Have we been talking to anyone for the last two years?
Well, we appreciate people listening right now.
We do, we feel you.
We understand traffic.
You know, it does, as you say,
you put it very beautifully, didn't you?
Yeah, well, maybe too honestly.
But it's not fun, but it's great.
We can hang out with you guys on your way to work.
Yeah, that's right.
Just make that trip to work just that little bit more painful.
What, listening to us?
Yeah, that's our job.
But Mother's Day, of course, on Sundays,
we keep banging on about, so don't forget about that. Yeah, and Ben our job. But Mother's Day, of course, on Sundays, we keep banging on about,
so don't forget about that.
Yeah, and Ben, you phoned your mum yesterday, Jenny Boyce,
just getting our mums on air, that sort of thing,
and you phoned her, and she told a wonderful story
about how you learned about the birds and the bees.
Yeah, in the car.
She trapped him in a car on the way to school and just unloaded,
downloaded everything he needed to know.
It's interesting because, obviously, you'd think that would have affected me greatly.
Because obviously mum still remembers that.
But maybe I just blacked out of my memory.
Because I was like, I don't actually remember that happening.
No.
Well, I mean, you've got two children, so she obviously taught you right.
Whatever she taught you worked.
Maybe it was so traumatic that I just pretended it never actually happened.
But one of our favourites. If that conversation ever comes up in my house, I'm going to be like,
Google it, mate.
Google it.
Google it.
There'll be some TikTok on it somewhere, surely.
TikTok, a 15-second video.
You can learn it.
But one of our favorite things to do when it comes to our mums
is to call your mum, Annie, from time to time,
who's not a huge fan of being on the radio, but she answer a call normally she thinks it's a mate called barry yeah she always thinks for
some reason that's uh they do have friends called maggie and barry but every time i find hi barry
it's not yeah i don't know what every single time she's and mum used to be a journalist for the
press in christchurch uh and obviously print she print doesn't want to be on doesn't want to be at
the front of house doesn't want to be at the front of house,
doesn't want to be on air.
Hates it, doesn't she?
So we always have to
kind of ambush her.
And one of the things
we like to do is
you like to see if you can
get her to say
I love you on radio.
Now, she'll do it in a text form.
She'll say she loves you back,
but she won't ever do it on radio.
She won't go on public record
and declare her love for me.
And this is,
we phoned her last year
for Mother's Day.
I'll turn down national radio.
She's listening to a better radio station.
Thank you, Mum. Happy Mother's Day.
Oh.
I don't know what you want to say.
Why did you call?
She's like, I just turned down
national radio for this. Why?
Why are you listening to the hits?
Well, I like national radio.
I love you, Mum.
Bye.
She never says she loves you.
No, never.
Say you love me, Annie.
Well, I put that in my Texas.
I do L.U.V.
Yeah, she does.
She does.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
There she goes.
She never says she loves you.
No.
Out loud. Puts it in Texas. Yeah. But. There she goes. She never says she loves you out loud.
Puts it in Texas.
Yeah, but won't say it publicly.
Come out and say it publicly for once.
Let the public know that you love your son.
There you go.
I always volley and I love you at the end of a conversation.
She smashes it back in my face.
Nothing.
Nothing.
Just blanks me.
Cold as ice.
Well, we'll give her a call this morning.
See if we get anything back, Ben. All right, Dan. Happy Mother's Day to all the mums on Sunday. It blanks me. Cold as ice. Well, we'll give her a call this morning, see if we get anything back, Ben.
All right.
And happy Mother's Day to all the mums on Sunday.
It is the hits.
You've got John on Ben 634.
Spy.
Know what's up.
Spy.co.nz.
You've heard of entertainment tonight.
Well, this is entertainment way too early in the morning.
Belle Crawford, what's happening?
Well, we all know that for weeks now there's been a trial going on between Johnny Depp
and Amber Heard.
He has sued her for defamation after she wrote an article which was published alleging that she was a victim of abuse.
It's horrible what's going on, but I was just thinking, has anyone used the headline defamation?
It's the trial for defamation.
Well, we are right now.
Surely someone else must.
I was driving to work this morning I go depamation
depamation
and it's horrible
I was like
I haven't seen it
anywhere that probably
has been used
but depamation
should be the trial
why don't we call
somewhere in America
see let's phone
CNN and just
pitch it to them
we'll do it during
the ads we'll record
it okay I promise
sorry Belle carry on
no worries
I'm getting the
number for CNN
it's not CNN
oh gosh
who do you want then who are you aiming for it's E-Vitamin tonight let's go to E-News I promise. Sorry, Belle. Carry on. No worries. I'm getting the number for CNN. It's not CNN. Oh, gosh.
Who do you want then?
Who are you aiming for? Entertainment Tonight.
Let's go to E!
E!
News.
E!
News.
Is that a pun?
TMZ.
Not really.
We just want to report the actual facts.
Page six.
Okay.
We'll try TMZ.
Okay?
Yeah.
All right.
Cool.
And now both of them have tried to end the trial because it's obviously there's a lot
of really nasty stuff from their relationship.
Very toxic being like like aired publicly and so
amber is on the stand now the judge said nope you can't throw it out you gotta continue this
is what amber's been saying i am here because my ex-husband is suing me uh for an op-ed i wrote
i struggle to have the words i struggle to find the words to describe how painful this is.
This is horrible for me to sit here for weeks and relive everything.
It does sound like, we keep saying it, but they put the music behind all the clips.
We've got music, piano music.
It does sound like a movie.
Yeah, and they're doing a good job acting, the both of them.
I don't know who to believe.
Where do you sit on this, Belle?
I don't think you can pick one or the other side.
You need to stay a bit impartial because obviously we don't know everything.
We're not experts in this.
So we're just seeing what's coming out.
Don't be so sensible with your answer.
No, but you're hearing negative things from both sides.
And it's not for us to decide.
I guess we'll see it all play out.
But it's definitely not being favorable for either it's like we I guess we'll see it all play out but it's definitely
not being favourable
for either of them
and I think
especially Amber
well he's suing her
for 50 mil
and then I checked
her net worth
she's net worth
of 8 mil
so what happens
in that situation
well apparently
reportedly Elon Musk
has been giving her
some money
now obviously
since their marriage
breakup though
she would have been
entitled to some
of his money right so is that to some of his money, right?
Yeah.
So is that where some of that money is?
Hey, you can give that money back?
Or I don't know.
What is, yeah.
Who knows?
How long were they married for?
Not long.
Yeah.
A few years.
Only together for like three years, I think.
Volatile relationship, isn't it?
Oh, horrible.
And thank God we can see it all play out on YouTube.
Wonderful stuff.
And also, if you aren't watching the new Kardashians, there was a new episode out last night.
I watched it, the one where Kourtney and Travis got engaged.
And Kanye, of course, has met with Kim Kardashian's ex, Ray J,
to pick up all the remaining tapes and the computer.
Now, there was nothing explicit on them,
but now Ray J is claiming that Kris and Kim were in on releasing the original adult tape.
Oh, I thought it got leaked by him.
That was the narrative.
Yeah, so the narrative from the Kardashians is that he did it,
she wasn't part of it, and obviously it was embarrassing for her,
but she's just moved on and she's not going to let him shame her.
But he's saying, and I guess the other perception is that,
well, Kris the momager was in on it because it launched their family's career. It did, yeah.
And Ben Boyce,
I know we've got someone on the phone here that
we need to talk to from TMZ apparently.
Hello, is this TMZ?
Hello?
Have we got a hold of TMZ?
Oh, they hung up.
We're going to pitch them
depamation.
No, we'll get them on the phone, Ben. Don't worry.
I don't need to pitch depamation.
You do.
And that is spy.
You can get more at the hits.co.nz.
They're not afraid to use the F word.
Be family, friendly, fun.
Jono and Ben on the hits.
Harry Styles coming to New Zealand.
It's called Love on Tour.
It's going to be March 7th at Auckland Mount Smart Stadium next year.
Tickets on sale now from livenation.co.nz.
Every day this week, we've had a double pass up for grabs,
throwing watermelons from the work roof down to the forecourt
to decide if one is, well, basically one's got tickets in it
and the other has watermelon.
Although yesterday, Jono, there was a watermelon scandal.
There was a watermelon scandal. I was a watermelon scandal, Ben.
I've been sent out here every day under the premise that Joel the Intern,
who's up 522 metres on top of the radio station roof dropping watermelons,
I was under the impression that one watermelon had the tickets and the other didn't.
And then suspicions were raised yesterday on day four when I thought,
how on earth is everyone
smashing the winning watermelons?
Well, I'll tell you how.
Ben Boyce had been inserting
tickets into both watermelons
because he doesn't like losers on this show.
I don't. We're the only
losers on this show. You and me, we're a couple of losers.
But we want the people to win. We want people to go
to Harry Styles. So this today,
you're like, nah, it's a 50% chance.
It's a 50% chance.
Well, otherwise, why didn't we just go ring up,
get on the radio, say some words, you win some
tickets. Why have you been sending me out here
unnecessarily wasting watermelons
this whole time?
It's cold as out here.
It's colder than a father who went to pick up milk
and never returned it.
Sandra is on R800.
Good morning.
Good morning, guys.
How are you?
We're doing all right.
Now, I understand your daughter would love to go to Harry Styles.
Yeah, my daughter Maddie does.
She loves Harry Styles.
So her and her friend would really like to go.
You hear that, Jono?
This is why we had Watermelon Gate.
Because people like Sandra and her daughter.
But today it's a 50% chance.
Watermelon A or Watermelon B?
You need to decide.
Only one has that double pass.
Okay, well, look, just so Mummy doesn't get blamed,
Maddie said A before when I said I'd been trying to get through during the week,
so we'll go for A.
You're going Watermelon A.
And the other thing too, Ben, that I didn't mention that you've caused
is an unnecessarily sticky footpath out here.
Sticky footpath.
My shoes literally stepped over the stickiness of the watermelons
that we've been dropping down all week.
My shoe ripped off.
It's glued to the footpath now.
All right.
All right.
Sandra, you're picking Watermelon A.
Yes, please.
Okay.
Joe, can you
hear me up here?
922
meters in the air.
Tell them to drop it, Sandy.
Woohoo, go, babe.
It's coming down. It's coming down.
It's coming down. Sandy.
Oh, my gosh.
What?
Smash.
Sandy, is Maddie there?
Hang on a second.
Put her on the phone.
Hang on a second.
Okay, we're going to give Maddie a bit of time.
She might be a bit shy, but we'll see.
Hang on a second.
All right.
Okay.
The watermelon is smashed all over the car.
Hang on a second.
Just say hi.
Okay.
Hi, Maddie.
Hi.
Hi, it's Jono and Ben here.
We're trying to win you these Harry Styles tickets.
We need to find out now if the watermelon has the tickets inside.
Maddie, we're throwing in the watermelon.
It's smashed.
And are we going to smash your heart?
Oh, come on.
Just tell us.
What are you, like Clint Randall on Dancing with the Stars?
Let's get to the result.
Maddie, I hate to say it,
but you're going to have to cancel what you're doing on the night of Harry Styles
because you're going to the concert.
Maddie, well done.
You're going to Harry Styles.
How cool is that?
Oh, that's fantastic.
Woo-hoo.
That's very cool.
Yay.
Awesome. Well, you have yourself a great weekend. I'm sure you will now because you're going to Harry Styles next year, March's fantastic. Woo-hoo! That's very cool. Yay! Oh, awesome.
Well, you have yourself a great weekend.
I'm sure you will now because you're going to Harry Styles next year, March 7th.
Yep, that's great.
Thanks, guys.
And that wraps up a week of people conveniently winning Harry Styles.
Yeah, that's right.
Everyone's a winner.
That was good.
Today, 50% chance, though, so that was good.
Doesn't sit well with me, Ben.
Scrolling through your feed.
Now to the only news bulletin that no one respects.
It's Ben Boyce with Scrolling Through Your Feed.
What's happening on a Friday, mate?
Well, there's a sequel to Top Gun.
It's coming out in just a few weeks' time.
Tom Cruise is back.
He's 59 years old, I was looking this morning.
Is it called Topper Gun?
No, I don't think it is.
It's just called Top Gun.
I think it's, yeah, but he looks incredible. Like, he does look incredible. Now, yesterday, Kate Rogers, I saw her on it is. It's just called Top Gun. He looks incredible. He does look
incredible. Now, yesterday, Kate Rogers,
I saw her on News Hub. She was
over there, entertainment reporter from New Zealand.
It was on, basically, they were
on the back of an aircraft carrier in San Diego.
Huge...
What, like a naval ship? Yeah, like it was incredible.
Wow. Red carpet, all the actors were
there. And Tom Cruise comes
in on a helicopter as well.
Is he flying it?
He's probably flying it.
They did ask him if he was flying it.
He's like, I can fly it, but I didn't fly it this time.
I chose not to.
But he can because he's got this aviation license.
He's got a whole heap of licenses.
We got lost on a video that Corden was interviewing him.
And he's like, how many licenses have you got?
He's like, I've got a truck license, motorbike license, fighter jet license.
He could cargo a warship from one side of the world to the other,
just because he's Tom Cruise and he has a warship license.
Of course, he was in New Zealand not too long ago doing Mission Impossible.
Does he love New Zealand?
Well, we want to know, so that's what Kate Roger asked him.
Was falling out of a helicopter in New Zealand pretty good training for this?
It was a lot of fun.
New Zealand's a beautiful, beautiful country.
I love it. That's all we wanted. That's all we wanted, Tom Cruise. That's all we wanted, Tom Cruise. All we wanted to say, New Zealand's beautiful. Beautiful country. I love it.
That's all we wanted. That's all we wanted, Tom Cruise.
We wanted to say New Zealand's a beautiful
country, and then if you get out, I love it on the
end. That's great. I've seen the trailer for
it, and as you say, it looks
magnificent, but he's sort of
like, have you seen the shot where he's like
gently caressing the nose of a fighter
jet? It's kind of
erotic. Very sensual. He's like, you've really seen how he's slowly climax of a fighter jet it's kind of erotic very sensual
slowly you know climaxing the fighter jet what i found really interesting was the entire acting
cast were put through three months of aviation training uh for their roles uh which doesn't
seem like enough to be honest like if you're gonna fly a plane well i don't think they will fly but
when they're up in the air because obviously obviously they were in that tiny little cockpit there,
they had to roll the cameras on themselves.
They had to get the shots up in the air because they can't obviously have a camera.
So they actually film up in the air.
It's not a green screen.
Some of it up in the air, apparently.
So they had to learn how to put the cameras on and do stuff.
So they are flying the planes.
Well, I think there's often some they have with two people.
So someone will be in front, but they'll be in a little capsule behind.
So they're in a plane, but not necessarily flying. Tom Cruise probably flew his in front but they'll be in a little capsule behind sort of yeah so they're in a plane
but not necessarily flying
Tom Cruise probably flew his plane
have you ever been in a cockpit?
oh no
yeah and I feel like
yeah you know
I'm not
I'm just asking
have you ever been up there?
now count down
New Zealand's largest
supermarket chain
leave him alone
it's a no go
we know this
well I just know where you're going
man I know what's going on
I'm not lowering the tone
I went up in one in a glider
And it makes you sick
Because it's so hot in there
I can imagine
There's no air flow
Yeah, one of those little
That's all the conversation I wanted to have
I don't know what you thought
Now Countdown are going to freeze prices
On 500 items
To try and combat the cost of living crisis
So winter staples such as tomatoes, sugar, flour, butter, ham and more,
they're going to be, whatever price they are on May 9,
they're going to continue throughout winter, which is really, really cool.
Yeah, it's a great gesture, isn't it?
It's the nicest gesture since Countdown put in those self-service machines
that I can rip off.
What a kind gesture from their supermarkets.
And you'd imagine the rest, you know, the pack and saves, the new wheels,
they'll have to follow suit, won't they?
Otherwise everyone will just go to Countdown because
of the concern. But then we did
discuss Countdown have two days
to astronomically raise
prices on all of the winter basics.
And then just keep them there.
Ham, packet of ham, $920.
Sorry mate, what was the price?
It won't go up over winter. Oh, you loved us
when we said we were going to do a price freeze
and now you're turning on us?
If they were the internet, you'd want to clear this history.
Jono and Ben, on the hits.
Now exciting that Mother's Day
is on Sunday and we'll be getting our mothers
to dish the dirt on us this week.
It was my mum's yesterday
and today it's your mum Annie's turn.
Yeah, your mum Jenny exposed
how you learnt about how procreation,
the process of procreation happens.
And it was in a locked vehicle travelling to school.
She's like, now's the time.
Now's the time.
Just ending like, have a good day at school, honey.
And you're like, you're traumatised, I imagine.
Now what I love about every time we call your mum is,
well, firstly, she's not a huge fan of going on the radio,
so we have to catch her by surprise.
Will she answer the phone?
That's a weird game.
So many times we just have to call her off air.
And, you know, it always goes to answer the phone.
But the odd occasion, in a moment of weakness, she accidentally answers.
But she normally answers.
And I don't even know who this person is, but she normally goes, is that Barry?
Is that Barry?
That's one of my favourite things.
Your mum and dad have a friend called Barry and Maggie.
But, you know, she always, every time I'm like, hi, she's like, hi, Barry.
So I don't know today when we call your mum, but let's see what we get.
This is Jono's mum.
Let's give her a call.
Hello?
Hello, Annie.
Hi, is it Barry?
Barry?
How are you?
There was no caller ID, so I wasn't sure who it was.
Every time I call you, you say, is it Barry?
Well, yes, of course.
It's me.
You gave birth to me.
I want to meet Barry.
Barry sounds awesome.
Oh, Ben, it's you.
Hold on.
You've recognised Ben, and you still haven't recognised your own son.
You keep calling your son Barry.
Annie.
Yes.
You know I love you, and I'm phoning up to wish you a happy Mother's Day.
Oh, okay.
I've just been to Sandy today, and Sandy does my alterations for my short legs.
Oh, how is Sandy?
Sandy, does she take your pants up?
Does she?
She takes the pants up, yeah.
Yeah, Sandy the tailor.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
I'm talking like I know Sandy.
I've never met Sandy.
Oh, I've never met Barry either either but we can't wait to meet
Barry.
You're name checking a lot of people no one knows.
That's good. That's what mums do.
Annie, I know we've probably talked about
everything that's ever happened in Jono's
life on the radio but what would be one
story? If you were going to slightly
embarrass your son with either a
cute story or an embarrassing story from his
childhood,
what would that be?
What pops into your head?
Oh, my goodness.
It caught me on the hot sun that I wouldn't dare say.
It was horrible.
I know.
What did you guys do?
What did you cover up?
They caused me so much stress.
They will have flashbacks of those.
Why don't you tell the story about how he crashed the Corolla?
Oh, did he crash the Corolla?
Did he?
Oh, no, no, no.
I won't tell.
I seriously won't tell that one.
What?
I will tell the time you broke my very expensive vase.
Oh, he broke a vase.
What was he doing to break the vase?
What he never said because he said he didn't do it.
Yeah, that's no company Can't pin it on me.
Well, who else did it?
He was the only child in the house, wasn't he?
No brothers and sisters to blame it on.
Exactly.
But he was a very staunch, sticking to his story.
I never broke their vase.
So who broke the vase?
Did you have an animal, a family pet or anything that would have knocked it over?
Well, Ralph didn't do it.
Just that Jonathan placed it completely back again.
And probably if I dusted more regularly,
I would have noticed.
But when I did go to dust, it all fell apart.
Jonathan.
He had placed it all together.
Look at me, Jonathan Richard Pryor.
Did you break the vase?
I didn't break the vase.
I'm sticking with my story.
I reckon he broke the vase too. He was trying to
smoke something out of it with his friends or something.
Very extra. Yes, that's
a good story. I just,
the others would cause me to curl up
in the fetal position and cry.
That's not what we want
in time for Mother's Day, that's for sure.
You don't want your mum in a fetal position on Mother's Day.
Well, happy Mother's Day, Annie.
Alright, Aaron. See you later.
See you, mum.
Bye. Love ya.
Five words for 5K.
You're just five words away from

of word association. We play it every morning
at this time. We tell you five words. You tell us what
pops into your head. If all five words match

Let's head to the Garden City
in Christchurch.
Marina, Sam,

Hello, how are you?
Oh, great to have you on.
Must be a chilly morning
in Chichar.
It's freezing.
Yeah.
Yeah, well,
I do appreciate Christchurch
on a crisp, cold morning.
Yeah, that's nice.
It is lovely.
It is lovely.
We spend many a morning
on a crisp, cold morning in Christchurch, haven't many a morning on a crisp, cold morning in Christchurch
haven't we been together? We have.
We almost lived at the Ridges Hotel for about
nine weeks, didn't we?
Things weren't going right at home, either at homes, but that's
our story for another day. Sam, you want to win
$5,000? I would love to
please. What are you doing this weekend
Sammy?
I'm actually at opening weekend for duck shooting
so I'll be participating in that.
Oh, nice. Nice.
What do you do with the duck?
Do you marinate it afterwards?
Yeah, a bit of everything.
Marinating, and then we get them
processed into
hamburger patties and salamis
and sausages and share them around with the
family and things.
A lot of
city people right now going,
oh, I'm not too sure about this.
But, hey.
It's yummy, I promise.
It's yummy.
Get rid of them all, I say.
Oh, hey.
Duck wings, duck wings the whole lot.
Oh, stop it.
You don't say that at all, mate.
It's awful.
I'd be surprised if you even ate a duck.
Yeah, no, I've never tried duck.
You're going to get peter on you.
Your palate is not very good.
No, it's not.
A very bogan, basic palate.
Sam, who are you going to send into the soundproof booth,
a.k.a. the big box of shame,
where we send employees who have let the company down,
brought shame upon the company?
I'd love to send John over.
All right.
I think I did just bring shame upon the company.
Yeah.
Okay, Sam, obviously you know how the game works.
Yes, I do, yes.
Okay, these are all Mother's Day themed ones this week,
which we keep saying has made things a bit more confusing,
but we're rolling with it.
This is the final day.
So what pops into your head when I say in-law?
In-law.
Mother.
Mother.
Oh, there you go.
Nice.
Hubbard.
Hubbard is the second word.
Hubbard?
Yeah.
Hubbard.
Oh, gosh.
Like cupboard, but with an H. Hubbard.
Well, there's a nursery rhyme, I guess.
There's a cereal, but I don't know.
Old mother?
Old mother, yeah.
You can say two words if you want.
Old mother.
Grand is the third word.
Grand.
As in G-R-A-N-D?
Yep, grand.
Yep. Ma? Yep, grand. Yep.
Ma?
Grandma, yeah.
Perfume is word number four.
Sam?
Oh, perfume.
I've got two.
I'm thinking between spray or bottle.
Or even smell.
Oh, my gosh, this is so much harder when you're on here.
I know.
There's always so many words.
Let's go with bottle.
Bottle.
And the final word this morning is gift.
Gift.
Oh, gosh.
I'm thinking present or Mother's Day present.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, let's go Mother's Day present. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, let's go Mother's Day present.
Mother's Day.
So gift you want, just Mother's Day.
Mother's Day.
Oh, yeah, Mother's Day.
Yeah, oh, gosh.
Oh, let's go present.
Let's go present.
Okay, we'll lock in present.
We'll get Jono out of the soundproof booth right now.
We'll see if all those words will match up with what he's saying.
I think we've made things way too tricky, Jono,
with the Mother's Day theme, but anyway.
It seemed like a good idea in the brainstorm
at the beginning of the week.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I've made this difficult for you, Sam.
What would you do with 5K?
I'd love to take my partner to Fiji,
and I've also got a friend that I'd love to take up to Auckland
and we'll do like
a little bit of a trip up there.
I thought you were just
taking everyone everywhere.
Generous.
Alright, let's see
if we can be generous.
Give you $5,000.
First word we said to Sam
this morning, Jono,
was in-law.
In-law.
Mother.
Well done.
Mother-in-law.
Yeah.
Now, of course,
Mother's Day themed,
as you know,
the next word is hubbard.
Hubbard.
Mother.
Oh, you old mother.
Old mother, yeah.
Oh, old mother hubbard.
Is that her full name?
Yeah, yeah.
Why are we age-shaming mother hubbard?
Yeah.
Oh, sorry, Sam.
That's all right.
It was fun.
Grand was the next word.
Let's see how you would have gone.
Mother.
Grandmother.
You can't just say mother for all of them.
Well, you probably can.
Perfume.
Perfume mother.
No, I'm going to go smell for perfume.
It was bottle and gift.
Card.
Ooh, present.
It was a tough one, that one.
Sam, you played a real good game.
You have a great weekend, all right?
And hopefully we can do this again.
Thank you, guys.
Cheers. Thank you. Enjoy duck enjoy duck shooting mate have a good one
Morning Contained Storgy Parenting
Advice Shono and Ben on the hits
what I've appreciated you doing over the last
half hour Ben is you've locked yourself out of your computer
and you're trying to get back in and
when you do that it's the biggest
pain in the for
the person it involves but everyone else
doesn't care and you're like why doesn't everyone care I can't get back in I for the person it involves but everyone else doesn't care and you're like why
doesn't everyone care i can't get it back i emailed the technology team yeah bell you're
a caring person i didn't care he didn't care he's like i'm logged in i'm gonna ask them to lock you
out now um my daughter sienna yesterday uh came to me now she doesn't have a tiktok account or
anything but now and again she likes to have a look on tiktok on my phone and she saw something
she's like oh i saw this on tiktok wasn't mrs misinformation about a vaccine or anything
but she's like you got to do this on jono tomorrow yeah every time i go through tiktok i'm like it's
a wonderland of the best and worst in humanity isn't it yeah so what she was like she was and
i was like well i don't know if i can do this you know like it's not going to naturally happen so
this is the role play she's like jono's talking she's like jono's talking he's know, like it's not going to naturally happen. So this is the role play. She's like, Jono's talking.
She's like, Jono's talking.
He's telling a story.
It's going on and on.
So you start talking.
Oh, well, I went down the road the other day
and I was actually going to pick up some...
And then I say, hey, cool story.
What chapter do you shut up?
And that's what she says to me.
And then she's like, oh, they're from TikTok.
Because I've heard of, obviously, cool story.
Like, that's something you can say to anyone.
What, Chet, do you shut up?
So, yeah, she was like, oh, that's trite on Jono.
Because people say, hey, cool story.
And I feel like whatever speech you're making,
whether you are JFK, Martin Luther King,
Jacinda saying we're going into lockdown,
or whatever it was, as long as you go, cool story.
Yeah, no, you go, cool story.
Really take the wind out of anyone's... Even Obama doing a speech.
Cool story, Obama.
Yeah.
But if you say what chapter you should...
It's a real time...
They've already been kicked in the guts.
Yeah, but it's the extra little carry on.
Now we're going to punch you in the ghoulies as well.
That's wonderful.
Cash.
Cash and car.
Guess how much cash we've stashed in the Škoda's boot
and drive it home along with all that money.
The Škoda Camac Monte Carlo worth just under $46,000
and you can win that and thousands and thousands of dollars
in the boot of the car.
You've got to guess the exact amount of cash
and you can take both of those things home.
Now, I do tell you, I've seen the car in the garage.
There is so much money in there,
you'd think we'd stored a dead elephant in that boot.
It is pushing the back end of the car down is how much cash is in there.
And that could be a clue for you, Sinead, in Auckland.
How are you?
Good, thanks.
Little nervous.
Good to have you on.
Don't be nervous, mate.
Don't be nervous.
This is the very low-level radio show we host.
There's no need to be nervous.
Now, you just finished at the gym, we understand. show we host. There's no need to be nervous.
Now, you just finished at the gym, we understand.
Bit of cardio.
What did you do?
Hit the treodies, that bloody elliptical trainer?
What was happening?
Nothing too extreme.
Well, good on you for going on a Friday. Burpees, bench pressing.
That's awesome.
Now, you get a chance to guess with cashkeeper Alex right now,
your guess to how much cash is in the back of that Skoda, right?
Yeah, exciting.
Alright, here we go. Alright, Sinead
from Auckland, what is your guess today?
My guess
isn't as much as everyone else,
but 7,562.
7,562 dollars.
Is that flat,
Sinead?
So no cents on there?
Yeah.
So you've gone with a humble, not humble at all.
Imagine winning a car and $7,000. Yeah, but I know what you mean.
There's been a lot of bigger guesses recently.
So Sinead from Auckland with a guess of $7,562 and zero cents.
That is incorrect.
I'm sorry.
That's okay.
But something I can do today.
We've got a special running today.
You've had the permission from the suits?
Yep.
Higher or lower?
So I'm going to give out a wee higher or lower here.
For Sinead's guess of $7,562, it is higher
than that. Higher than that? Now, how much
higher? Are we talking Snoop Dogg higher?
How much higher are we
talking here? Well, the other
clue that some people may have missed is it's
more than last time, last year's
amount of cash in the back of the car.
So if you do your research online,
figure out how much was won last year,
then it's higher than that.
Sinead?
Oh, I missed that one.
Oh, don't worry about that, mate.
Don't you worry about that.
There's a lot going on.
I mean, life, you're out there doing bloody burpees and squats.
All your life gets in the way.
Hey, good on you, Sinead.
Really appreciate you listening, and you have a great weekend, all right?
Thanks.
Another chance at 11, Ben.
How do people get in the draw for that one?
Well, you can download the new iHeartRadio app,
put your name and phone number in there right now,
and Cashkeeper Alex could be calling you back at 11 o'clock this morning.
The sure weather masks make them look a whole lot better.
Jono and Ben on the hits.
Hey, something happened to an intern.
There was an incident in the office,
and they went to the ablution block
and managed to somehow lock themselves inside the cubicle for an extended period of time.
They kind of went missing.
Yeah.
Everyone was like, oh, we're not going to name.
We're not here to name and shame.
No.
But, you know, this is not the 90s radio, mate.
We're not here to name and give people nicknames.
You know, we'd call them Toilet Tim or something if it was the 90s, wouldn't we, in radio.
That would be their name for the rest of their career but managed to find themselves
locked inside there and they you know new to the workplace young and were too polite to ask for
help and obviously didn't have a phone didn't take the their phone with them so just a poor
person just waited in there all that time in the bathroom eventually after a couple of hours was i um i'm i heard someone walk in as i'm locked in there now that's the and that's good to see
because you know nowadays these young people they're coming into the workforce now there's
these internet kids with their big ideas and it's good to see one who's like i don't want to make a
fuss keep my head down when i started in radio i was locked in a toilet for a year and a half.
I didn't see my
family for a year and a half, Ben,
because I didn't want to make a fuss.
That's right. We all did it, Jono.
We all did our time in the toilet,
starting out in radio.
Isn't it a funny situation to be locked
in there? So that's why we wanted to open up trouble
in Toilet Town
on 0800 The Hits.
What's happened in there?
Because, I mean, it's just another location, but it's a funny location.
Actually, speaking of radio, it just popped into my head there.
We were working in an old radio station, and some guy we worked with at The Rock,
remember he slipped?
He slipped while at the urinal, like really badly, like just slipped
and hit his head on the floor and kind of made himself unconscious.
Yeah, he was duped.
Yeah, and obviously a guy came in afterwards, called the ambulance,
and then he was like, ooh, his –
Everything was out.
Everything was on display.
Because he was midway through.
Yeah, so he was like, I better help him out, you know,
before the ambulance came.
Yeah, some decency.
And so what he did is he got his cell phone
and he like nudged it in with his cell phone.
Before he could do it up the float.
And then do it up the fly.
Just to give him a bit of dignity before the ambulance arrived.
He ended up being fine.
It was like a mild concussion or something.
But I love that situation.
I've got to give him some decency.
How do I do this?
Do it in a way that's, you know, yeah.
You could kind of use your finger and just be like.
Yeah.
So I added the hits.
We want to do Trouble in Toilet Town this morning.
It could happen on a plane, could happen at work,
could happen in a public toilets.
I've been stuck in one of those flash public toilets before.
You know, one of the ones that have you have 10 minutes
and play classical music.
And they play like Burt Bacharach,
what the world needs now.
What I needed was to get out of that thing. I finally did eventually. Like Burt Bacharach, what the world needs now is love.
What I needed was to get out of that thing, and I finally did eventually.
We're talking trouble in Toilet Town after a simple person at the radio station yesterday
got stuck in the bathroom for a good couple of hours.
Yeah, now you look at your options in that situation, don't you?
It's like that movie with Franco and he'd cut his arm off.
Oh yeah, 127 hours.
Yeah, minus a few hours.
And probably the arm being stuck somewhere,
but you're right.
You just have to question what's going on.
Clambering over the top,
climbing over the top,
there's always an option,
but you never want to have to explain that
to anyone if they walk in,
like why your legs are dangling over.
And I don't think they could go quite underneath it,
so yeah.
No, so anyway, eventually they were
freed and turned into radio fodder the next
day on our show. We're going to kick things off with Lee.
Welcome. Trouble in
Toilet Town. Lee, what happened?
I was a
labourer on a building site.
Went to use the site toilet
and the guys put a two metre skip in front
of the door.
Pranking or accidentally, Lee?
Pranking.
Yeah.
Pranking.
Oh, jeez.
I've never worked on a building site,
but I imagine there is no more vulnerable situation
than when you go to the Port-au-Loup.
Yeah.
Yes.
You're like, I'm placing a lot of faith in...
My co-workers.
My co-workers who traditionally, you know,
you know a building site. It's not a stereotype, but I imagine if we had a Port-au-Loup at know, you know I'm building sites.
It's not a stereotype, but I imagine if we had a port-a-loo at radio,
it'd be the same thing, right?
Yeah.
How long are we in there for, Lee?
About five minutes.
Oh, that's not too bad.
Just enough to frighten you.
For the lads to have a laugh.
Good on you, mate.
Oh, yeah, they were laughing.
Thank you so much for listening.
You go and have a wonderful day, all right, mate?
Yeah, same to you.
All right, let's head to line two on New Zealand's Breakfast.
Michelle, how are you?
Hi, good morning.
I'm good, thanks.
How are you?
Lovely to have you on.
Trouble in Toilet Town.
That's what we're talking this morning.
What happened?
I was on a plane to Bali with a group of friends,
and I went to the toilet at the front of the
aeroplane and
because it was last minute
of course you know I had to go
I already had
my pants down and then I
realised the toilet seat wasn't that
clean so I went down to
wipe it and I didn't realise that
the door
was actually gone open.
Oh, no.
So you just bent over and the door...
I managed to flash my backside
through the whole front section of the aeroplane.
They were sitting in row six
and they were just screaming with laughter.
So your caboose was poking out the door?
Yes, pretty much. How do you come back from that? me with laughter. So your caboose was poking out the door? Yes.
Pretty much. How do you come back from that? How do you return to your
seat after that? You poor thing.
That must have been my
most embarrassing moment of
my life ever.
When did you realise the door
was open? When I
got up and was about
to sit in the toilet and it was like
a surreal, I thought no
this really didn't
happen but yeah it did.
Oh mate.
It was very embarrassing.
There's a lot that terrifies me about
your humble airplane toilet. The suction
on that, when you flush.
No matter how old you are
it doesn't get any less frightening.
Yeah.
No, it doesn't.
You've really stepped things up, that's for sure.
Jeez.
There we go, Michelle, who accidentally flashed an entire plane outside the toilet door.
That is trouble in toilet town.
Love your work, Michelle.
Thanks a lot.
Have a good day, guys.
You too, mate.
Spy.
No WhatsApp.
Spy.co.nz.
All right, we just shoved a stick up her nose,
and she's tested positive for another celebrity scandal.
Belle Crawford, what's happening in Spy?
Well, you may have heard, of course,
that David Chappelle was attacked on stage during his comedy show.
This is audio of that.
Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise for hip-hop history.
Yeah, this guy just jumps out of the audience and tackles him, doesn't he?
Yeah, it's kind of scary.
And he had a gun or something, didn't he?
A knife. It could have been very dangerous.
I think it was a fake knife in the end, but still, you wouldn't have known that at the time.
And a very, very scary situation.
Yeah, so he was knocked over. He was hurt.
There was ambulance taking him away.
He was, you know, broken bones.
But he has said the update is that he is going to continue with this show,
despite this violent attack, where someone just runs up on stage.
There's no security tackling this person.
No, and it looked like, as I saw the images and videos of him outside the ambulance,
the attacker, and his face didn't look the same.
Oh, really?
It looked like backstage that
maybe some justice
was served. Oh, jeez. Well, it's scary. I mean,
obviously the Oscars that happened were much
publicised, and it's happened again. You know, it's kind of a scary
situation for comedians. B Humps reckons
Jamie Foxx might have beat him up. Jamie Foxx
jumps out of the front row and got up on stage
and, you know. Don't put B
Humps' good name out there, mate.
Oh, now he's in my ears
saying say allegedly.
So no,
I won't say allegedly.
There were actually
quite a few famous people
front row.
So Beyonce,
Jay-Z,
Elon Musk was even there
so they would have seen
what happened.
I heard Beyonce
throat punched him.
Oh, stop making up lies.
No, it's fact.
Put my name to that.
All right.
She put a ring on it,
basically.
She punched him in the throat and it indented a ring through her throat, allegedly.
Oh, man.
And also, the top...
I heard Obama jumped up, head-butted the guy, right in the face, smashed his nose to smithereens.
Yeah, just quickly, the Top Gun director was worried that Lady Gaga's theme song was going
to suck.
Thankfully, it doesn't.
That movie's out later this month.
There we go.
All right.
Thank you very much, Belle Crawford, there for Spy.
That Lady Gaga song is amazing.
It's like a trip back to the 80s.
I feel like I need to put on a big leather jacket
with shoulder pads and cover my hair
and spray and then create a big hole in the ozone layer.
It looks awesome, that new movie, doesn't it?
Top Gun.
But yeah, it must be one of those things with the, because it's good to have a movie, a
song for a movie.
It used to be done back in the day, didn't it?
Yeah.
You're like Whitney Houston, The Bodyguard and things like that.
You're like Bryan Adams with that Robin Hood movie, you know?
Well, if the director was like, is Lady Gaga going to tank a song?
Well, you know, you're backing a good horse there.
Like if anyone's going to nail a song, I'm going to put my money on Lady Gaga going to tank a song? Well, you know, you're backing a good horse there. Like, if anyone's going to nail a song,
I'm going to put my money on Lady Gaga.
She was also on the front row of that Chappelle show too.
I heard Lady Gaga choke-holded the guy
and then flipped him over the back of her face.
That's a heck of a jab,
and I can't wait for the new Maverick movie.
It's going to be out towards the end of the month.
I have a wonderful Mother's Day to all the mothers
out there on Sunday and we'll be back
on Monday. We're going to be joined by
Di Henwood, a comedian, but he's host of a brand new
show, The Lego Show, Lego Masters
New Zealand coming to TVNZ. So have yourself
a great weekend. We'll catch you Monday
from 6 o'clock.
