Welcome to a bonus podcast from Jono and Ben on The Hits. Kia ora, welcome. It's the podcast, the 30th of September. Now, we had a message. You said you had a music bed you wanted to play there, Producer Joel. He's been trying to play the song on the radio for many... It's a great song. Celebrate good times. But we always worry about the rights for promo. Anyway, we're like, oh yeah. My major concern is the relevance of it. Let's have a listen. Look, we're calling, oh yeah. My major concern is the relevance of it. Let's have a listen.

Look, we're calling the gang. Celebration was... If you're celebrating good times, come on. Then, yeah, when did they start celebrating? Are they still celebrating? I think every Friday on the podcast we should do a reason why we're celebrating, you know, celebrating right now in life. I'll tell you why I'm celebrating right now in life because you told us a wonderful

story just happened in the building. It's from 1980. Oh yeah. 1980. Oh yeah. 1980. Oh yeah, that's still celebrating. Fleetwood Mac dreams. The 80s, mate. People loving it.

I'm celebrating today because Joel just told us a wonderful story about how he interrupted someone in the building upstairs. Of all the people you would not want

to interrupt doing their work, this would be the person and it was Mike Hosking from Newstalk said that. Well, we work in the same building as Mike Hosking. Don't really see him, right? Don't really see him.

He's the number one radio talkback host. He's the streaks ahead. Basically, if anything happens to Mike Hosking, this company crumbles. Now, I'm not saying we don't see him because he's not a hard worker. He just works on another floor. You were saying he gets here at six,

leaves at nine and one, wouldn't you? No, he actually, in all honesty, gets here at 2.30. He's a really hard worker putting in a lot of effort to his show. Disciplined. After his show, he sometimes records something

called Mike's Minute, which I have problems with because it's never actually a minute. But anyway, no one seems to care about that. It's always like three and a half. It's Mike. He goes on a rant about, you know.

It's just Mike. It's just Mike. You just call it Mike's. And Mike will go on. I say frustration with the $1 store. Yeah. You know, as inflation grew, so did the one, two, three, and more dollar store. Yeah, well, now it's just a shop, right?

It's a shop. You're right. And this is just Mike's. Mike's thoughts. Mike's thoughts. Mike's thoughts against the government. So he films that after the show from time to time. And we keep some suits up in that

same room when we film some stuff and producer Joel, we're like, can you go up and try and get these suits out of there? And you're like, yep no worries and you went up there and the red light wasn't on which is normally the sign for someone recording. Or having sex in a brothel. Those are the two red lights. Well true, yeah.

So what was going on there? Was someone having sex or was Huskings having, yeah, he was doing a very intimate act with the camera. Just his minute. It was just him, literally just him in a dark room

with the camera presenting Mike's minute. Was he in the middle of Mike's minute? He was in the middle of Mike's minute. I opened the door like a centimeter

and I was like, oh, shit. Because I thought it was the playing a video back before I could even. Did he not? Did he lock eyes on you?

No, he didn't even stop. He probably didn't even see me to be honest but before I could even be identified not? Did he lock eyes on you? No He didn't even stop He probably didn't even see me To be honest But before I could even Be identified Was anyone else there? Who was recording? No one was there There was like

No one in the studio I think Kira McIver Was getting ready to go And for her show 9 to 12 No but who's like Someone has to push the button For Mike's minute

To record Mike's minute He does it all himself I don't reckon Mike would want Mike wouldn't want Any human interaction. He'd be like, who runs this thing? Okay, you push record, then you leave. I will walk in.

I'll come in when I'm ready and I'll do it. Have it recording for three hours, just ready for me. When I'm ready, I'll walk in, I'll do the minute and then I'll leave. And his helicopter and he'll helicopter home. He's all business. I'd love to be that business. You couldn't do it. I couldn't do it either.

I couldn't do it, no. But I'd love to be that business. Just to know he's out the door at, say he's 2.30, but 9.01 he's gone. And he works at home and stuff. Works his arse off. But you're right. It's just outdoor, done. But it's all about drawing lines in the sand.

Do you want to talk to me? I don't want to talk to you. So freeing to have that. Paul Henry had the same attitude. You're either like me or you don't. I don't care. They don't care. And he's number one by a long, long way, isn't he? Yeah.

Well done. Must be a lot of freedom just not caring about people liking you or not. And he's done a lot of stuff for us. Helped us out a lot of the time. He's been wonderful. He's been wonderful. He's been wonderful. Yeah. He's been amazing.

But yeah, I think we should start caring less about it. I think maybe the older you get to, there's Mike's helicopter taking off. Sorry, guys. Mike. Yeah. The older you get, the less you care about people. Isn't it? Yeah, but not say he doesn't.

No. But just in that sort of... Or care about what people think about you. Yeah, that's it. It's business. It's business. You know, it's nothing personal. It's business. It's business. You know, it's nothing personal. It's business.

That's right. That's right. Well, you could be more business, man. Why don't you bring more business approaches? I wish I could. That's for sure. Enjoy the podcast today. We had another guaranteed winner of $5,000.

We had Christopher Luxon join us in the studio today. We played Five Words with him, which was really fun. And we found out the weather for the holidays. It's not looking that great. Look out! Scary dinosaurs. really fun and uh we we found out the weather for the uh the holidays it's not looking that great look out scary dinosaurs not jurassic park it's these guys jonathan ben on the heads uh i was traveling down the road being on my way to work okay and i swear yeah i know you go like i don't believe this story i don't i've seen what you've written down in a shared document. Yeah. And I'm like... It wasn't at night time. It was daytime.

Right. Okay. And there was a gentleman who had what I thought was a beanie on, but it was a balaclava. Now, he wasn't doing anything unusual. He was just wandering down a road with a balaclava. Now, a balaclava is not... It's not illegal to walk down the road with a balaclava

It's just a very No you're right It's not I could put a balaclava on today And happily walk down Well I'd be happy I don't know how the people around me It's just a very threatening piece of clothing

You could put a stocking on your head as well Nothing illegal about it Nothing illegal about that I could walk into a mall I know a lot of people have been recently With a balaclava on And no one could do anything But it would cause some sort of alarm People get a been recently, with a balaclava on and no one could do anything.

But it would cause some sort of alarm. People get a little flustered around a balaclava, don't they? Yeah, yeah. Would you wear a balaclava as a fashion accessory? Like if they became a thing? Well, yeah, I mean, I don't know. I mean, it feels like if you're in Arctic conditions, maybe that would be the time that people would go where you're well away from a shop, you're not going to be doing anything.

Yeah. I know 21 Pilots, that cool sort of band, they sometimes wear them on stage. That's kind of part of their fashion look. I'm sure, yeah. Like I'm sure in many instances, balaclavas are a very useful piece of clothing. It's just somewhere along the line,

someone thought these are great for robbing banks. Yeah. And the problem is you can't look like you're not up to no good in a balaclava, can you? No. But if you've got a cold face, what other options are there? Well, yeah. You've got other options.

Someone's tarnished the balaclava for years ago like Hitler did with the moustache. No one can ever have that moustache now, can they? Without going, oh. Charlie Chapman was the comedian. He had it for years. Hitler was a huge fan of him. Yeah. He's like, I'm going to copy my little Charlie.

You're like, don't, don't. No one can do that. Warning. This show contains Jono and or Ben. Jono and Ben on the hits. I've been waiting in the last few days to find out what you signed us up for, Jono. Yeah, backroom deals have been happening, Ben Boyce, over the last few days. Do they have to be backroom deals?

Couldn't they be out the front, shop front? Well, they actually were. The room was probably more located towards the front of the building, to be honest. I don't know why I keep saying backroom deals. It just sounds like they're more shady, the operations. Listen, I've done a deal for both of us to become the face of something, a product. Yeah. You thought, oh, you know, is it going to be like hemorrhoid cream or?

Well, I thought maybe if it was me you'd signed up, it would have been a joke, a joke thing that you would have been like, oh, he's now the face of the world. The hemorrhoid industry, they were willing to pay top dollar. And I was like, Ben, he won't do it. To be honest, I'd probably do it, to be honest. It's where I am in life right now. I'd probably take a lucrative hemorrhoid deal. Well, I'm the one who's more of a in life right now. I would probably take a lucrative emerald deal. Well, I'm the one who's more of a pain in the ass,

so it's probably more suited to me, to be honest. But yeah, no, no, it's not the cream. We'll talk to Chemist Warehouse, maybe get that doing in 2024. Okay, next financial year. But this deal, Ben Boyce, involves food. Do you like food? Yeah, I do like food, love food. What you like food? Yeah, I do like food. Love food.

What sort of food? Ben Boyce. Yes. Jono Pryor Ventures. Presents. Oh God, you love stringing this out. Just tell me.

A. Product. Oh shit. Just tell me. A product that Can you just say what it is? will change. It's going to be out, whatever it is, by the time you're finished announcing this thing. The market.

What is it? What sort of food is it? Chips. Chips like potato chips? Jono and Ben chips. Potato chips. Oh, awesome. It's a collab.

Jono X Ben X Heartland chips. Oh, wow. Okay. South Canterbury hearty chips. That's cool. Yeah. Heartland chips. Jono, now the problem being, I've gone a little wild with the flavouring. Yeah's cool. Yeah. Heartland chips. Now, the problem being,

I've gone a little wild with the flavouring. Yeah, okay. Yeah. This is what you won't maybe be totally on board. This is why you would have been, oh, why wasn't I there

for the R&D, the research and development of all this? Right, what's the flavour? Maple bacon. Yeah, that sounds good. Joel, you're really going to town on the music here. Producer Joel. Maple bacon. Yeah, that sounds good. Joel, you're really going to town on the music here.

Producer Joel. Maple bacon. Yeah. A sprinkling of salt and vinegar. Oh, with the maple bacon. Okay, yes. Yeah, okay. Yeah, do you like the sound of that?

Yeah. And another flavour that I've added in there that I've completely forgotten right now. Oh, yes, you've got three flavours. Three different flavours that are going to be in there. Let me just check my notes here. This is why I knew I shouldn't have gone with three flavours. But, yes, this is happening. Next. I just got an email from Harriet from our...

Okay, here. Sour cream and chives, maple bacon sprinkled with salt and vinegar it's an out of this world mashup you've called it thanks Harriet appreciate that and that's not all because it's going to be out

the first Monday back from school holidays awesome first Monday back from school and that's not all how's space tied to it that's what I'm about to say it involves space

and travelling too well I'm guessing the say. It involves space and travelling too. Well, I'm guessing the out of this world tie. Travelling to space. Okay. You will be in space, my friend. I'll be in space. In two weeks' time. Say goodbye to your family.

Get training. Space beckons. Jono and Ben heartland ships. They are out of this world, and they will be launched into supermarkets and all good retailers, maybe a couple of shabby retailers as well. First Monday back from school holidays. Oh, that's very exciting.

Strap yourselves in, New Zealand. To Hollywood producers on the search for future stars. Keep searching, there's nothing here. Jono and Ben on the hits. Spilling the tea on Hollywood's A-listers. Kardashians. I have met every single one. Exposing scandals.

Because she's not a good person, but either is he. Digging the dirt. Is she a diva? Yes. And finding out what's going on behind the scenes. Killing a cast member. Yes. It was a script.

No. His identity is a secret. But his stories have been proven right time and time again. This is NT. Yes, he's here to give us our daily update of how many affairs Adam Levine's had this week. NT from Hollywood, come on down. How are you? Hey, guys.

How are you? Oh, great, buddy. It's good to hear your voice. How's the week been? It's been good. It's been good. You know, I'm not getting to go on vacation for a couple of weeks like somebody else I know. We're doing the school holidays over here, mate, pretending to be good dads.

Yeah. Now, there's so many rumors around Hollywood. What is the best fake rumor you've heard? Because I heard that Stevie Wonder wasn't blind, and he's been pretending to be blind for his entire career. Oh, God. The internet has just gone, anyway. Well, I'm pretty on board with that one. I mean, but the ones that you know are false or something like,

you know, I'm not sure if you guys are familiar with who JonBenet Ramsey is because you're in New Zealand, but she's, you know, a child who was murdered in her home way back in the day, like a beauty pageant kind of thing. And there are people that say that she wasn't really murdered, that she grew up to be Katy Perry. Really? That's like, okay, that's a little bit off the wall.

There's a lot of people that say that Solange isn't Beyonce's sister, but rather her daughter, and that Beyonce's birth certificate is fake. So that's kind of another. There was a rumor that Beyonce kidnapped Sia and put her in her basement to write songs for her. I'm sure she could pay Sia to buy that. I know, she could just pay her. That kind of thing doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Paul McCartney died. I don't know if you guys are aware of that. I haven't heard that. Did you see the Melania Trump when Donald Trump was president? There was a wild rumor that some FBI agent, some guy called Gary or something, would dress up and pretend to be Melania Trump. With a fake nose and glasses and stuff, right? He literally had like three-day stubble. Have you seen those photos?

I have asked. I asked the White House correspondent for CNN who handles First Ladies, and she said that she doesn't believe that it switched, you know, that the people are switched. But I 100% think that they were switched. Well, speaking of rumors, we did hear that Taylor Swift was offered a Super Bowl. She turned it down, and Rihanna is going to be playing at the Super Bowl. But is it true that the people that play Super Bowl, they don't get paid? None of these big artists don't get paid?

No, they don't get paid. You know, because it's just, you know, you get all that, so many sales and streaming and all that kind of stuff. And everybody assumed that Taylor Swift would do the Super Bowl this year because Pepsi was the longtime sponsor of the Super Bowl. Taylor Swift is a longtime endorseee of Coca-Cola. So when Pepsi dropped their sponsorship, everyone was like, Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift. And the Super Bowl asked her first, but she said no. So now we're going to have Rihanna, who hasn't performed live in forever. Well, she's been doing a fashion line a lot more these days, right? And business, making billions of dollars in business. Yeah. And there's also the problems

with her throat and her vocal cords where she can't sing anymore to where because she hasn't had a new record come out in forever you know you don't need to sing when you go in the super bowl you can just lip sync i don't think she's going to be out there alone i think that there'll be other people that come out and share the stage with her it might lead into you know having jay-z be there because they could sing you know a couple of songs together it could lead into you know somebody else could lead lead to Eminem being in it because they added songs together. So it just leads to the possibilities

of who is going to be joining her on stage, which is a really interesting conversation which songs we're going to hear. There you go. Well, poor Rihanna with her throat problems having to fall back on her side hustle of making squillions of dollars with the fashion empire.

But she could be doing the Super Bowl. Enty, thank you very much for your time. Always appreciate it. And we'll catch up with you very shortly. All right, you guys. Take care. The Jono and Ben Podcast, the world's number one podcast. Please don't check those stats.

Who's having the best weekend? Yeah, we want to know who's having the best weekend. It's all thanks to Karcher, the wet and dry vacuum cleaner WD6. It's valued at just under $400. DIY lovers, they would love it. And we've got a wonderful list to give away. Great vacuum cleaner. And I used to have to sweep all the Ben's messes under the rug.

But now I just vacuum them up with the Karcher vacuum cleaner. And it gets rid of them beautifully. So in the past, Ben, I know you've done deals with Karcher where everyone's a winner. Well, I've had a word. I've had a word behind the scenes now. Okay. Because in life, there's winners and losers.

Okay, well, this is on you. We only have two vacuums today. Oh, only two. And we have three callers. Oh, well, why don't you just take two callers? Just take two callers and everyone's a winner. This is you. You're going to have to look like the bad person because I'm not going to do it.

I don't mind. Okay. I don't mind. All right. Let's kick it off with Melanie. Why are you having the best weekend, Melanie? Because you may or may not win a vacuum cleaner. Oh, well, I'm going to be celebrating this weekend because on Wednesday,

I passed my class to learn a license. I got 100%. And I did the test in seven minutes instead of 30. Wow. And I rocked a job interview, and I got the job. Oh. And then I won movie tickets also. So now I'd be awesome to win the weekend drive.

Good on you, Melanie. All right, we'll go to Alana in New Plymouth. Best weekend, thanks to Karcher. Why is it you, Alana? I've got a friend's 40th birthday, and I'm pretty excited because we've got a local restaurant coming to our house, and they're doing a fork and fuddy, so they're cooking us the dinner.

They provide all the ingredients, they do all the dishes, and we're just going to have a big party. And the dishes as well. Who's running the restaurant, though? The restaurant's at your mate's house. It's a pretty epic idea. During COVID, obviously, their numbers majorly dropped, so they started taking their dinner service to home.

That's awesome. And they kept it up. Oh, that's very good. Yeah, so a little plug for Fork and Knife. Fork and Knife. Yeah. Fork and Knife, yeah. It's called Fork and Fuddy.

Fork and Fuddy, Fork and Knife. I feel like I'm 80% swearing just there. Yeah, OK, that's awesome. Sounds like a great weekend. OK, hold there, Alana. And Emma, you're in Fielding. Friendly Fielding, the most beautiful town has voted 29 years in a row. What are you doing in Fielding?

Why are you having the best weekend? I'm having the best weekend because I've been quite sick recently and I'm finally feeling better. I've actually got the weekend off work, which starts today. My little ones, age five and three, we've planned like an indoor camp so we're doing like a camping inside and then we're doing marshmallows and little toasted

marshmallows outside. You've come on with an illness. Let me get a gauge on the illness. Oh, she's feeling better now. What is it? What's with the sound effects, Joel? Just making it sound like you're camping. Emma, what was it?

I'm a nurse and basically working 12-hour shifts and stuff like that and just really run down. Sinus infection, just feeling really yucky, lots of vitamins and things like that, but feeling on the

up now, which is always great. Rundown nurse. You right, well, that's... Rundown nurse, okay. You've got Melanie, you've got Lana, you've got Emma, you've got two, only two. Put them all back on, John. Can't you wet and dry vacuum cleaners to give away? This is the savage part of radio.

I don't want any part of it. It's on you. I'm taking my time. Ben likes to run life like an NWS school assembly where everyone's a winner yeah but life doesn't have winners all the time Ben

You guys all sound like you're having a wonderful weekend. And we're back again, all thanks to Karcher. You can Google Karcher wet and dry vacuums to find your favorite Karcher retail nationwide. Now I'm all flustered. It was awkward. We shouldn't have done that. We did. Hard-hitting interviews and informed opinion.

Mike Hosking on Newstalk ZB. In the meantime, Jono and Ben on the hits. We've got Philip Duncan with us right now from weatherwatch.co.nz. Thank you very much. Good to have you on. No, we're just talking off air. You said, have you got me? Because Jim Hickey's not available. Throwback to a weather

presenter from... Oh, an iconic weather presenter. And the weather presenter game, because of course you have weatherwatch.co.nz. Jim Hickey would have to be one of your idols, wouldn't he? Oh, totally. Yeah, yeah. I grew up watching him and he was funny and he did silly things on camera until he got told off by

TVNZ to stop doing that. But, yeah, he was brilliant. Goat? Would you put him as a goat? I don't know. I don't know. He's not the greatest of all time, but he's certainly right up there. Oh, you're not...

Like Dan Corbett, too. Oh, Dan Corbett is very good. There's a lot of great weather. He really understands the weather. He really, really puts it into his broadcast, and I quite like that. That's Dan on the One News broadcast. Now, he came from the BBC, a very prestigious broadcasting company overseas. That's Dan on the One News broadcast. Now, he came from the BBC, a very prestigious broadcasting company overseas.

That's right. Came here, and did you know he learnt te reo? First thing he did when he came to New Zealand. It's incredible. It's amazing. That is awesome. That is awesome. Now, school holidays, of course,

the next couple of weeks, a lot of kids, a lot of families at home travelling around the place. What's the weather going to be doing, Philip Duncan? Well, it's going to be doing, Philip Duncan? Well, it's going to be a little bit colder this weekend for the South Island and a bit wet this weekend for the North Island. Next week, it's not too bad.

It's just sort of a few showers hanging around. But on Wednesday, there could be a significant cold blast coming into the country with maybe snow to low levels in the lower South Island and heading up even into the central plateau. snow to low levels in the lower South Island and heading up even into the central plateau. It's not totally locked in yet though. All I want to know Philip Duncan, at 7 o'clock in the morning, can I push the kids outside, lock the door, and

not let them back inside until 7 o'clock at night? Is that going to be safe? There should be plenty of long dry spells amongst all of that weather, yeah. Okay, because it doesn't sound incredible weather. I was talking to someone yesterday saying, oh, it sounds like it's going to be shocking for the school holidays, because I feel like we're getting into summer.

You know, there's the daylight savings, longer daylight hours. It feels like we should be turning a corner soon. Should be, but October is that month, that sort of a reminder that summer's on the way, but also a reminder that winter's only just finished. And you can really just, depending on where Ohio's parked,

you can end up having subtropical northerlies, which we did a couple of weeks ago, and it was really just, depending on where a high is parked, you can end up having subtropical northerlies, which we did a couple of weeks ago and it was really warm, and then replaced with a polar blast a week later. So it's kind of normal weather, but the good news is everything moves kind of quickly at this time of the year, so it doesn't usually set in for more than a couple of days. Well, Ben Boyce, I know with your wardrobe, you like to have your seasonal wardrobe ready to go.

You must be in a bit of a fluster at the moment where you're running winter, you're running summer. It's a bit confusing. I'll be honest with you. Is it shorts when it's sunny? It gets cold, it chills off. It's tough times out there for dress. I always say that if you're a farmer in Southland,

you've got to choose between your winter shorts and your spring shorts and your summer shorts. Well, listen, I'm predicting the forecast for there's going to be a heavy downpour of device usage next week, Philip Duncan with the weather? Probably. It's going to be a bit indoorsy at times but it's not going to be too too bad. This weekend's probably one of the wetter sort of periods of weather. Philip Duncan, weatherwatch.co.nz It's an amazing website, an amazing service that you provide. Head to it if you want the latest weather information for your school holidays. You take care out there, and we'll talk to you soon.

My kids Now Love my kids Love my kids You started all of these with I love my kids I do love my kids And then you tend to

You know Air their dirty laundry Well yeah There was something I need to get into first Before I get into this other story Because they've got a school bake sale Or one of my daughters Indy

She has today at school So yesterday last night was all about baking some some you know uh little muffins cakes lots of sprinkles lots of icing they were baking some stuff they look really cool and they did that late last night but of course i'm up early in the morning like four o'clock and i came out and she's. Now, they cleaned up, but, you know. It's not a thorough clean. It's like when we're in the middle of COVID and they're like, don't worry, we've given the supermarket a deep clean. And you're like, what does that mean?

What does deep cleaning mean? Yeah, yeah. Like, I even helped. In their defense, I even helped clean up. But, you know, the ants, they can smell the sugar. That's what they live for. They thrive for irresponsible baking. They just started their weekend,

so she's got that today, my little daughter, Indy. She's 10 years old, and we've talked a lot about Indy because she's very mature. I mean, Poppy, your daughter's around about the same age, and she's kind of the same. They feel like they're a lot older than they actually are. I get told off by her constantly,

constantly for being, you know, come on, Dad, grow up. I'm like, I can't grow up any quicker. I'm trying. Well, yeah. You grow up, if anything, you're nine. Setting the example, right? But Indy, you know, she's like a middle-aged lady. She loves to sit in the room.

She loves to read a book. She's really diligent. She loves to be organised. It's really cool to see that. You're going to see her at protests in the future. She'll be holding a placard in front of the line. She likes to read a book. She's really diligent. She loves to be organised. It's really cool to see that. You're going to see her at protests in the future. She'll be holding a placard in front of the line. She probably will. She'll be protesting for social injustice.

Yeah. And yesterday, you know, I had, there was a lamp that we had in our lounge for many years. Now, I like it. It was cool. But it kind of felt like it's done its time in the lounge. And normally what happens when things have done its time in the lounge, they move on to like a spare bedroom or one of the kids' rooms.

And in the past, the kids have never debated this. They've just gone, oh, that's cool. This is part of my furniture now. You're like, you're just one part of the step until this thing ends up at the tip. Exactly. It's a three-stage process before we chuck it out. And I thought of Indy

because she loves sitting in there reading her book. And I thought, well, this would be good. I could just give her this lamp. You know, I put it in the bedroom. I was like, hey, Indy, here's the lamp. Would you like in your bedroom? Because it'd be great when you're reading your book. And she looked at me.

She's like, oh, thanks. But it's not really the vibe I'm going for. It's not really the vibe in my room I'm going for. What vibe has she gone for? Well, she's like, it's more of a sort of chill, you know, it's a relaxed vibe. But this lamp is quite bright and it's quite a thing. It's not really the vibe that I'm going. I'm like, you're 10 years old.

Who's going for a vibe at 10 years old? That's what I said. They'd be thankful there's a light and you can turn it on. There's electricity. But it's not the vibe she's going for. Yeah. Well, you don't like electrical products inside your room, do you? Well, no.

No, that's the vibe you're going for. That's not the vibe I'm going for. He's going for a let's protest outside parliament with tinfoil hat sort of vibe he doesn't plug anything into his room no no we've got no plugs by the bed

and that really my wife is just like just I really shouldn't have let you decide on that one so we're like oh when you were designing the room

yeah like because we got we did some renovations who doesn't want plugs by the bed well not me I'm like I don't want plugs by the bed

do you not have plugs by the bed no I don't have plugs by the bed no and my wife now is like why did I let you decide on that there's plugs in not me. I'm like, I don't want plugs by the bed. Do you not have plugs by the bed? I don't have plugs by the bed. No. And my wife now is like, why did I let you decide on it? There's plugs in the bedroom, but I'm not having

plugs by the bed. I am completely with Amanda on this one. Why would you not put a plug by the bed? I didn't want a plug by the bed. I don't know what it's doing. I don't know what it's doing. So I'm like, let's not put plugs by the bed. What it's doing is providing electricity, Ben. It's the main function of it. They've got pranks.

They've got puns. Now they just need some actual listeners. Jono and Ben on the hits. It's brand new from Lewis Capaldi. It's Forget Me. It is the hits. You've got Jono and Ben, 728. Jono, you signed us up for something,

and that's actually really, really awesome. We're going to team up with Heartland. We've got our own chips coming soon. Out of this world mashup. Now, I haven't tried the flavor, but it's... you'll be interested when you get there's maple bacon flavored sour cream and chives sprinkle bean with a little bit of salt and vinegar together just all at one have you tried these yet they are they are delicious wow yeah it sounds like a wild combination of flavors when you hear it you're like how do they work together but then

your palate says yes yes every part of your body's saying no no no but your palate is yes yes yes it's gonna be out in a couple of weeks it's launching soon after after school holidays yeah first monday uh after the school holidays thanks to heartland now that's not where the madness stops because this flavor this combination flavor ben it's out of this world. Yeah, well, it does. Now, I've been teasing you with something, and it's time to now introduce you to Mech. Hey, how's it going? Good.

How are we doing? Good, good. Good to hear from you guys. He's nothing to do with the chips, though. Okay, so we've got some chips from Heartland. You're saying it's out of this world, it's a flavour. So what's Mech got to do with it? Mech. Oh, is that so? Mech. of this world. It's a flavour. So what's Mick got to do with it? Mick.

Oh, is that so? Mick. Sorry, sorry. There's a lot going on. Mick. Is this how you saw the big reveal? No, no, no.

Even you, Shush. The Vodafone changed their name this week. That was a lot smoother than that in the presentation. Yeah, no, sorry. Okay, take two. Okay, so Mick,

I'll bring you on, okay? Okay. Okay, so I'll bring you on. You go, hey guys, how are you? And then Ben, you just stop. But I haven't told anyone

What's going on Yeah I know Well I'm trying to I'm trying to Hey hey Mick Anyway Okay take two

May I introduce you To Mick Hello How you doing Good How's it going Good How are you involved in this

I will bring him in Okay You just shush You sit there You're along for the ride Okay Mick Mick is from the

Sorry Just to go over this again Like what am I saying? Sorry No no What am I saying? It's like us to say We're all very confused with this

Mech Okay well I'll say it Okay Mech is from the University of Canterbury Oh hey Great We're launching chips with Heartland Yeah

Mech is going to launch those chips into space. Can you do that? Can you put chips into space? Absolutely. We've launched a whole bunch of things in the past, and yeah, we're definitely looking forward to this. This is probably the first time it's been done anywhere in the world, so we're up for the challenge.

We are launching it because the flavor has been out of this world. I see the space time. Okay, so how high do they need to go to get to space? Right, so we provide a launch service to the edge of space, so anywhere from 15 kilometers up to 40 kilometers. Wow. Yeah, to sort of put that into perspective, your average aircraft will fly at around 10 kilometres,

so we're at 40 kilometres. Now, it's very expensive. I made a bag of chips. What are we looking at? $3.40. I don't know what the marketing, what the price rate is. Who knows what that is. I don't know what the recommended retail value is.

Imagine how much the space mission is costing us. I feel like I suck a lot of the budget on the space mission. The equilibrium's way off. I should have maybe spent it on marketing. What a cool, but this is marketing. What a great launch stunt, I guess, to send the chips out of this world into space. How long would it take to get up there?

It'll take about one hour to get all the way up, and it'll take us about two hours to recover the chips. So look forward to it. Now, you guys, they've been doing research for months. Have they? Behind your back, behind your back. So Ben, it'll be like you on a Saturday night. You'll get as high, you'll go highest of highs,

and then you'll come crashing down to Earth. This is not true. This is not true, but this is awesome. This is actually a legitimate thing. It's going to happen. Yes, yes, absolutely. Yeah, we've been working on it. We've tested everything, and we've got the team ready to go.

You could say it's going up in a space chip. Yes. Space chip. That's right. Could I ask, this might be a really dumb question, but is it cold where they're going? Like, is it really cold up there? Yes, it is really cold.

So we have to prepare the payload to handle up to negative 50 degrees and really low pressures. So, yeah, we're well prepared for that. And it's not a ship as such. It's a balloon, right, that goes to the edge of space. Yes, it is a high-altitude weather balloon that we use, using helium to lift the payload. Wow.

So this balloon expands from the extensive research that I know we've all been involved with in there, doing all the diagnostics on this journey. The balloon expands from an average-sized balloon to how big when it gets up there? Well, when we're filling it up on the ground, it's about one metre in diameter, and it'll expand to about five metres before bursting up at that top altitude. So bigger than a car? Yes. So bigger than a car. Yes, definitely bigger than a car. Wow.

Well, I can't wait for this to happen. This is going to be incredible. Thank you so much. It reminds me of Ben after he had his vasectomy. Oh, hey, here we go. How many slanderous things can you put into one conversation? First Monday after school holidays, we launch our chips into the stores. We launch our chips into space. And Jeff Bezos isn't the only weird bald man

travelling in space. That's you, Jono. That's me. I'm talking about me. Well, I can say we went to space now, well, in chip form, but that's incredible. Yeah, brilliant. No, we're looking forward to doing this with you guys

and being a world first, for sure. I won't lie. I'm a little concerned about, you know, we're looking forward to doing this with you guys and being a world first, for sure. I won't lie, I'm a little concerned about, you know, we shoot them up and then you say they come hurtling back to Earth. Like, I don't know, where are they landing? Do we need to warn people? We've got all of that side uncovered, so nothing to worry about. Good. Because it's not great PR if it's like,

pack of chips knocks out innocent old lady doing her shopping, you know. Thank you so much for what you're doing for us. This is incredible. I can't wait to be there. No, brilliant. Looking forward to the team. I look forward to meeting you. There we go.

That's happening first Monday after the school holidays. We're live from Christchurch, launching our chips with Heartland and launching them into space. This is the Jono and Ben podcast. Wall-to-wall talking without the niggly popular songs in between. Good morning. Christopher Luxon from the National Party joins us in the studio. Good morning. How are you doing?

Good to be with you. Oh, there you go. I'll sort those headphones out. Oh, yeah. Oh, sorry, mate. Yeah, no, there you go. You can check them on. It's lovely to see you, Chris.

How's things, mate? It's going well. It's been really good since I've seen you last. Every time I see you on social media, you're everywhere. Oh, well. You're keeping busy. I try and get out of Wellington as fast as I can, to be honest with you. So I sort of go there Tuesday, Wednesdays,

and then hit two or three towns across New Zealand, and you meet just the best people. Well, because as far as meeting people go, you meet a lot of that. But I was reading yesterday, and this reminded me a lot of my mate Jono, which we've said in the past, you guys look a bit similar, but also you do something else very similar. He does look, he's a good looking man. You're the more successful one.

Nicola Wills, obviously deputy for the National Party, she says you talk to everyone at airports. Like you just keep talking. And he does exactly the same thing. I'm like, the plane is leaving. We've been called over the loudspeaker and he's still chatting to people. So obviously you do the same.

I'm a big extrovert. So you get a lot of energy from actually talking to people, right? And that's the fun part of the job. So, I mean, it's just incredible people everywhere across this country doing amazing things. And so you just want to get out and actually get a feel of how you can help them, because that's the role of government, I think, to help people get ahead. So, no, it's a real privilege to do the job, and I'm really enjoying it. You went to Hamilton yesterday.

You visited Michael Hill Jeweller. They got robbed last week, didn't they? Yeah, it was quite frightening last Saturday actually in daylight robbery, literally daylight robbery at 10 or 11 in the morning and just put yourself in the shoes of the staff. I mean they went to work to do their job and they didn't expect to have a violent sort of smash

and grab sort of attack that happened in that mall. It's been quite shocking to all the folk in Hamilton and so I just went down there to sort of say hi and just to check in with them and see how they're going and yeah amazing people and the company's doing a good job getting around them but equally it's been awesome, you know, you see the best of people

as well because the people at Hamilton brought them donuts and I've been supporting them as well. It's funny not to get too serious for a second here but you know the Ram Rays are a big topic of conversation, I keep telling Benny should stop doing them and he's like no it's good in the middle of the night you know get a bit of stuff but what do you what what can you do like how do you how do you stop it i mean there's two things that aren't happening one is we're not protecting victims or potential victims well enough so

you know actually making sure that you know dairy owners can actually harden up their security arrangements and we support them doing that but the bigger issue is there just aren't any consequences for these kids. And a lot of it is there's a range of consequences from family group conferences for first-time offenders right through to community service, home detention, and ultimately youth detention centres. But you've got to use those consequences a bit more, I think. And the other piece that's linked to it very strongly is kids aren't in school and in New Zealand the most startling thing I've discovered since coming to politics is only 46 percent of our kids are attending school regularly at the moment 46 percent and that's a real worry and

that's a real worry because it's not just is that habits through sort of like COVID lockdowns and stuff potentially or they say sort of less than half of it's linked to COVID and illness but clearly you know routines have been altered since COVID and lockdown periods and but whatever it is we've got to be able to get our kids back to school and you know certainly as a parent you know there's a lot of things that make it easier to get to school now free lunches free breakfasts free period products you know subsidized uniforms and that's great and we should keep doing that but we've just got to get them into school because you know the outlook then for the country in the future isn't great if we haven't got our kids learning some numeracy and literacy. Now, speaking of younger days, there's a photo I found last night.

Oh, it's great. Christopher Luxon online. Now, you're in a McDonald's uniform. Did you used to work at McDonald's? Oh, yeah. And a great head of hair, too. Yeah, I know. When did that go?

Probably in my late 20s, early 30s. You hold on to it for a couple of years and you're like, what am I doing? I had the same journey, Chris. And then you just go, nah, this ain't, I've just got to embrace it and go with it. But look great, yeah. Blonde hair, blonde locks. I love that job. It was a big deal when McDonald's came to Christchurch and there was 1,500 kids that applied for the jobs

there. Really? But I just loved running that drive-through. It was just fantastic. Well, were you the boss of the drive-through? Well, sort of. I just got, I loved it. It was fantastic. So I'd like to go back there one day and just sort of do a drive-thru yeah it'd be great it'd be really good fun

now you do a lot like you say you get out and about quite a lot and there's always going to be people who disagree with your politics

what's the funniest sled you've heard in public have people been yelling out stuff to you Chris nah they're actually people are really good

to me I had one incident in Palmerston North where I think it was anti-vax protesters surrounded a building and 16 local constabulary police officers came by to help out but apart from that honestly I don't have any challenges and I actually think it's really good that the politicians get out and about and see people and that's what makes New Zealand special because it doesn't happen anywhere else in the world. Now the poll this week has got you and Axe governing alone seems like there's a poll released every 10 minutes

do you read too much into them or you get excited by them no not really i mean i mean the way you sort of look at it is sort of what's the trend and the trend over the last nine to ten months is that you know people think we're getting our act together and we've got good ideas and you know they're over the government not delivering really and so you know that they're encouraging and we've made good progress actually in the last nine to ten months and i'm really proud of the team. And we've got a lot more to do, though. Are you like saying to your team between now and the election, just don't screw it up?

Well, you're constructively dissatisfied, right? I'm one of those people who's just like, there's always more to do. There's always better things to achieve. And so, yeah, so the team's really focused. But, I mean, this cost of living crisis is a real challenge for people people they want the economy well managed and they want better public services right and at the moment crime health education housing all of that stuff's going backwards so well we've got five thousand dollars that could be won this morning on the show we'll help someone and we're gonna hopefully we're gonna put you in the soundproof booth all right and see if you can match up five

thousand dollars if you're keen to do that'm keen. I'm up for it. All right, so I 100 the hits. We've got a guaranteed $5,000 to be won this morning and we'll see if we can give it away with Christopher Luxon next. Let's go. Five words for 5K must be won every day. It is our game of word association.

We'll keep playing until the money is given away, and Christopher Luxon, we've managed to talk you into being the first person to go into the soundproof fund. This will be fun. This will be great. So thank you for doing this.

Now, we need to figure out, how much tax would you make the winner pay on $5,000 there, Christopher Luxon? I think they need all the money they can get at the moment, don't they? Yeah.
