John O' and Ben, new to your mornings.
Friends of Skinny, New Zealand's most recommended telco.
Happy, happy, happy, oh, oh.
Just when you thought you couldn't get enough of John O' and Ben,
you can have them anywhere, anytime.
Welcome to the John O' and Ben podcast.
Hey guys, it's the Twins, United July.
Now yesterday I moved the podcast along.
I was talking up Dwayne Johnson, interviewing Emily Blunt,
and midway through you were like, oh, Juliet, we'll talk about her plumbing issues.
No, we never found out about Juliet's plumbing issues.
No, no, no, I did.
And yesterday I said, not the time.
We're going to talk about Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt,
the biggest thing the show's ever had.
But this is your time
I'll get producer Juliette back in the studio
Incoming
Hey Ju
How did she know about that?
Are you out in the office?
She was like incoming
No
Oh you want to come in?
Yeah
Come into the studio mate
We were doing the podcast intro
we didn't get to the bottom of your plumbing issues
Oh here she is
Here she is
How did you know that you were incoming?
Oh you just think that we're probably calling for tech support or something like your parents.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was like, Jono needs something.
Yeah, it's usually social media based and I don't know how to upload something.
How do you post to it?
There's a lot of tricky questions.
I'll give you that.
Not in this instance, though.
This is Ben abruptly cut your plumbing woes off yesterday.
Oh, was it my plumbing?
Oh, yeah.
I was trying to think what we were discussing.
You had something.
You were going home for something,
and Johnna wanted to talk about it.
I said, no, not today.
Today we're promoting...
Of all days, of any day.
This is the biggest day the show's ever had.
But today, not such a big day.
Oh, my gosh.
This is possibly the most boring thing
you'll ever hear in your life.
Well, you will be the judge of that.
I had to get a man over to fix the shower
because it was leaking onto the floor.
Or a woman.
It's 2021, mate. No, it was a man, actually fix the shower because it was leaking onto the floor. Or a woman.
It's 2021, mate. No, it was a man, actually.
But yes.
In this instance.
Yeah, so we had to reseal it.
But did you know when you reseal a shower, you can't use it for 24 hours?
I didn't know that.
You looked a bit filthy this morning.
Yeah, I looked filthy this morning, aren't I?
Was the shower going drip, drip, drip?
It was like the through the base of the shower onto the floor.
So it was seeping through where the glue is down the bottom.
Oh, I know it well.
Yeah.
I know that shower well.
Yeah, see?
Boring content.
No, wait a bit.
Actually, it leads me on to something we were going to talk about in Spy,
but we ran out of time for it.
Oh, yeah.
So there was celebrities showering.
Yeah.
And was it Ashton Kutcher?
Yeah, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis.
They said that they don't shower, they don't bathe their kids unless they see dirt on them they're like um i
think mila kunis said that she didn't have hot water growing up so she would never really shower
anyway and they're like the rule of thumbs if you can't see any dirt on them don't shower and ashton
was saying from what i read in the article that if he can i just say for the record that's a
shocking rule of thumb yeah he was saying you don't you don't need to use soap every time you're in the shower, basically.
I think they were saying maybe you'll clean your crotch and underarms,
but apart from that, we're using too much soap.
There's some natural oils and stuff that you should let to kind of do their thing.
I was like, really? Is that a thing?
And then it sparked a debate of whether you wash your whole body
and your legs and your arms every time you're in the shower
or if you just do the bits that are necessary
very good question what do you I look after you know I'm looking after the
undercarriage in between the undercarriage are you taking the nozzle
off one of those ones and is that what's squat. I get a quarter squat on and just get under there,
wash under the undercarriage.
I go armpits, goolies.
And then I kind of do the outside of my arms for some reason
and then just rub the front of my torso.
I always have to do my back because your back can get quite sweaty as well.
How do you do your back?
You just pump the soap and then go...
Yeah, right.
Are you a back washer?
There's areas you can't...
I'm not flexible enough to get areas in it,
but I guess I'm relying on the water and stuff to do a lot of that.
Do you soap your legs?
Only when I shave my legs.
I've never...
I can't even remember ever soaping my legs.
Oh, no, I would probably.
You know?
You'd be a furious shower.
Imagine having a shower. I know. It would just be, time is You'd be a furious shower. Imagine having the shower.
I know.
It would just be time is money.
Just a soapy mess.
No, I do like cleaning myself.
I do like the cleanliness.
You had two showers this morning.
Yeah, I did actually.
Oh, yeah.
You heard that on the podcast.
But I do like taking a little bit of time if I can in the shower
just to kind of contemplate life.
It's a nice place to be, the shower.
Anyway, back to the kutchas not soaping, not using soap.
There'd be that family like, we're going over to the kutchas tonight.
You're like, oh, not the smelly family.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know.
Build a B.O.
She is a well-publicized, self-confessed, tight-ass Mila Kunis.
Is she?
Yeah.
Coupons.
She uses coupons, right?
I think, again, she said that on Zach Shepard's podcast.
Yeah.
That she'll use coupons. She uses coupons, right? I think, again, she said that on Zach Shepard's podcast. Yeah. That she'll use coupons.
I think it's because she had, you know,
as you said before, her upbringing was not, you know,
they didn't have a lot of money.
So obviously, you know, she's quite frugal.
So she hands over a coupon at the supermarket.
And they're like looking at her going, you're Mila Kunis.
And she's like, yeah, and this is a coupon.
Genius.
Genius.
Well, thank you for coming in, Julia.
No worries
I'm sorry for bumping that by 24 hours
Now today on the podcast
We spoke to a really interesting guy
Martin Cocker who's the CEO of NetSafe
What are we doing wrong on the internet?
We're all just trustingly going on the internet
And clicking accept cookies
And accepting terms and conditions
What does it all mean?
We'll talk to Martin Cocker on the podcast.
In the meantime, you have one job,
and that job is have a wonderful day.
Morning.
Yesterday was, I'm still,
it's such a surreal thing that happened.
We played it out for you yesterday.
If you want to catch the full video,
you can head to the hits breakfast right now.
Dwayne The Rock Johnson, who is,
he is my idol,
and Emily Blunt, who is just awesome.
And you got, you basically pulled together an elaborate prank
that saw me sitting in what I thought was a movie theater
to watch a movie.
Next thing I know.
Well, the movie theater was a movie theater.
That wasn't, we didn't build that specifically for the prank.
I was like, wow, what is the budget for this prank?
This is incredible.
So that was a legit movie theater.
It was, yeah, functioning.
Okay, wow.
We were in between session times.
I got you while
sitting in okay so now wow that's why it looks so realistic still coming to terms with it so
i was in an actual movie theater there you go thinking i was going to watch an actual movie
but it turned out that actually dwayne the rock johnson and emily blunt were over zoom a video
call with me in the movie theater it was pretty surreal and i and i kind of got carried away
though did you know you played it very cool did think I was, what did you expect was going to happen?
Because I had no idea.
Listen, exactly how you reacted was how I thought you were going to react.
I love you guys.
I love you guys.
I love you guys.
Honestly, I love you guys so much.
Love you guys.
I love you guys too.
All right.
Wow.
Love you guys.
Now, who hangs up on this?
Oh, they do. You can tell he's like, see you guys. Okay. Wow. Love you guys. There you go. Now, who hangs up on this? Oh, they do.
You can tell he's like, see you guys.
Okay, okay.
Okay, mate.
Yeah, I mean, he's here.
I did.
I got a bit carried away.
I'm sorry, guys.
But we showed Dwayne the Rock Johnson your tattoo of him that you have on your posterior
at one point, and it blindsided us.
He had this same video of your bottom on his phone.
He was texting it back and forth to Emily Blunt.
Yeah, they both seen it.
You were some sort of punchline for the both of them of like,
look at this twerp.
You should get this, Emily.
You're like, no way, I'm not going to get this.
But that was incredible.
And he found it quite quick on his phone too.
Yeah.
You're like, hey, I've got, wait a second.
Normally when you get a video or a photo, you're like,
hang on a second, you're scrolling through.
Do you know what was really cool is after the interview
is Disney got in touch and they were like, DJ.
Yeah, DJ, he's a mate now.
It's Dwayne Johnson, if you're not familiar with him.
No, it's a mate of ours, Dwayne.
Yeah, DJ's team have reached out
and they want the footage of that interview.
Now, I have come to two conclusions here.
Either he wants it
to put it on social media, or B,
he wants it as evidence in a court case
when Ben is inevitably done
for stalking. That's maybe why he's got it.
He's building a case against you.
That's why he found the video so quickly.
I'll save that one here.
All of your Instagram posts
about him. I mean, you wore
a rock t-shirt yesterday.
So I've got a photo of him in a t-shirt of me.
Just put it all aside.
I'm building a case here.
He's got a file.
You're probably right.
A special file on his laptop.
I love him even more now.
This will be another thing you can put on the case.
But if I can pull.
Actually, I want to open up the people's court here.
Because I want to pull out two parts of the interview.
And granted, you were swept up in the excitement. Okay. here because I want to pull out two parts of the interview and granted
you were swept up in the excitement
okay now there was a
promise you made to the lovely
and she was wonderful Emily Blunt
she's awesome eh now there was a promise that
related to a tattoo
now I present to you
evidence A
can you get me on the other bum
I'll get it after this, I'll get it after this
I'll send it to you, alright?
Okay, so she said, can you tattoo me on the other bum cheek?
And you said, I'll play it again in slow motion
I'll get it after this, I'll get it after this
I'll send it to you, alright?
I'll get it after this, I'll get it after this
I'll send it to you, alright?
That's just for the jury to hear, okay? God, I'm excitable after this. I'll send it to you right now. That's just for the jury to hear.
God, I'm excitable, aren't I?
I really just need to chill out a bit.
Jeez, I tell you what, real estate on your bottom is filling up fast.
It's like sections.
They're hot property.
Spaces have gone, mate.
You've got to get in.
No interest rates, you know.
Soon you'll be buying the dark corners of the inside cheek.
No sun coming in there, no no facing so that was that was one thing okay on the property land anywhere you can though mate now at the end of what do you think now at the end of the
interview too you also made this wild claim mate i feel like i'll get rid of duane johnson's i'm
getting i heart john o'briar now then you're saying I'll get iHeart Jono Pryor.
And again, for the courtroom.
Mate, I feel like I could get rid of Dwayne Johnson's name, get iHeart Jono Pryor.
There you go.
Just in case you missed it the first time.
So you've made two outrageous claims.
And granted, I know you were swept up in the meeting.
I did. Now, I'm going to shirk any suggestion of getting my name on your bottom.
Well, I already have.
You put it on my bottom, and you've spelt the N's backwards,
and it's a lightning bolt.
Oh, so that's done.
That box is ticked.
If I tick that box, you know.
Now, we focus on Emily Blunt.
You made the promise to her.
Juliette, your thoughts on this?
I think you should totally
get it. Now I would like you also
to name three Emily Blunt movies
apart from Jungle Cruise.
She was in The Devil's Weird Prada.
She was a girl on the train and she's
in Jungle Cruise.
The Quiet Place.
So you're a big fan
you're a big fan
and she was in Muppets as well
oh he's named four movies
big fan
she deserves to be on your bottom
well she is awesome
yeah well
see the thing
if I could pull back
just a little bit
you know like
the fact that I've got
an I Heart Dwayne
the Rock Johnson tattoo
on my bum
is you know
it's interesting
because my wife Amanda
I don't have an I Heart
Amanda
you know
and that's
now I'm gonna am I gonna go oh no but you't say to amanda i'll get an amanda i'd
heart amanda you said to emily blunt i will get an i heart emily but let's play it again in slow
motion sorry i forget the exact wording i'll get it after this i'll get it after this i'll send it
to you right i'll send it to you like what am i saying i don't have her email i'll send it to you. What am I sending? I don't have her email.
I'll send it to you.
So this is what I want to open up to the nation.
4487, it's a rogue text poll.
Does Ben get the Emily Blunt tattoo like he promised to her?
I don't want the show to be a program known for false promises.
No, okay.
Well, let's just roll it out this morning.
Text poll.
4487 it is that.
You're running late, stuck in traffic,
and now you have to listen to this.
Toto and Ben, the hits.
Now, I was driving along the road yesterday, and... Can we get you a producer B-Humps?
Yeah, you come in here, producer B-Humps.
B-Humps, our lovely producer Humps.
No, this is, yeah.
Well, I think we all...
He sent out this message afterwards,
and we were all like, well, of course it would have been, but... He texted me. He texted me. Producer Humps, check him out. No, this is, yeah. I think we all, he sent out this message afterwards, and we were all like, well, of course it would have been.
He texted me. He texted me.
Producer Humps texted me yesterday, and I was driving,
and he said, Jono, I don't know why you had to include the others on the show.
It was just for me.
It was a message for me.
Jono, did you just cut me off in traffic?
And I replied, probably.
I think we all were thinking probably. Yeah, the answer is, if anyone's been cut off in traffic, And I replied, probably. I think we all were thinking probably.
Yeah, the answer is, if anyone's been cut off in traffic, anyone right now,
the answer's always going to be, it's probably me that's cut you off.
And I went, look, I have publicly said I'm a shocking driver,
and I'll make no bones about it.
Yeah, well, we were having some work chat over text messages,
and I was running some errands around town,
and yeah, in some outer suburbs, and I was running some errands around town and yeah in some outer suburbs and I was like
this car cut me off and I was just coming out right out in front of me and I was like
is it is it Johnno I think it is and then he took off down a side street and I was like oh my
yeah a shortcut he's so impatient that's the thing he doesn't like to sit still on lanes of
the motorway and traffic going up to around.
He'll go through stores, car parks, whatever, just to keep moving.
My question is, though, to you, Producer Humphrey, as the other motorist, what justifies a cutoff?
Like, when do you go, oh, it was just someone that pulled out in front with enough distance for me to slam on my brakes in a panic and come to a screeching halt. Basically, you're on the right side of an intersection
cutting across to the left-hand side
of the adjacent street.
And then, I don't think you indicated.
I wouldn't, I wouldn't.
But he keeps getting fines sent to work.
He's like, where did all these fines,
I don't know where they keep coming from.
Oh, another one.
Oh, I'm just, I treat the roads like a sinking Titanic.
It's every man, woman, and child for themselves out there.
I was concerned your car was stolen.
That's how radical the driving was.
But I mean, how big is this country?
And then I cut off our producer.
Like, what?
Of all people.
Don't you hate it, though you've been when you get impatient
with another driver probably none of you do this but i do you get a passion the other you're like
honking a horn or you're getting your you know tailgating or whatever and then it turns out to
be someone that you know i've been like someone to give way and they've just been there for so
long and i've just been like hey and! And then I turn around and it's
like the sweet old mother from the
school and you're like, oh, Jesus.
Probably don't do it outside school drop-off.
You know?
Jono and Ben,
just like family. The family
members you're ashamed of.
Now in the world right now, we're all just trying to navigate
our way off and through the internet.
And just through life in general.
Which is a lot of appearance.
No, we're just trying to make our way through life, aren't we?
Man, I keep the family safe.
Be happy.
Have a nice, balanced work life.
Yeah, there's a lot of things we're trying to do right now.
But we've been chatting actually off the radio about a few things recently.
So we thought, why don't we do it on here?
Because these things might actually help.
Because we have a lot of air time to fill.
We're like, why are we talking about this off air?
Yeah, one question we had yesterday.
I was searching around on the internet and a website pops up and it says,
well, do you accept our cookies?
And I always go, yes, I do.
And I have no idea what cookies are.
And what you've just accepted all two.
So that's why we thought we might bring in Martin Cocker from NetSafe right now to hopefully
answer this question and many more.
How are you this morning, Martin?
I'm doing well.
It's NetSafety week, so we're enjoying all the activity and getting a chance to talk
about online safety with everybody.
Is it?
Is it?
It is, yes.
Oh, well, this is well-timed, yes. This is well timed, Martin.
I assumed that's why you were
calling. Listen, we'll start this
again. It's NetSafe Tea Week this week
and we're joined by NetSafe CEO
Martin Cocker.
Good morning. Great to have you on. Big week.
One of the biggest weeks of the
year for us all, really, isn't it?
Yes.
Martin, because we all blindly,
I feel like we all blindly just go on the internet
and accept all sorts of things
and all sorts of terms and conditions
without actually really thinking about what it means
or what the consequences are.
For example, the websites that go,
do you accept our cookies?
And I just go, I accept.
What does that do it?
So cookies are used to remember what you've
done on the website before so you know when you've been there and you've put some details in or you've
actually just been to visit a page the cookie remembers that so that uh your browsing experience
is uh is what you what you would expect so most of the time cookies are perfectly benign and saying
yes i accept all the cookies as uh there's no problems at all mean, the reality is usually you have the option to accept them all
and have the website work, but not accept them and not have the website work.
Yeah, oh, so it makes it function better for you.
So it's not too dodgy.
What about T's and C's?
When you get all those, do you accept all the T's and C's?
And to be honest, again, probably half of us don't,
or most of us don't actually read in them and just click yes.
Again, should we pay more attention to this?
We should, but the reality
is there's just no time in life to
read all the T's and C's of all the things we want to do.
I mean, there are certain parts of the T's
and C's you might want to read if
those things are important to you or if, like, for example,
you're a by-product.
Now, we're back with Martin Cocker
who's the NetSafe CEO. We'll do that very shortly.
Should we ask, what is the appropriate age for children to get onto social media as well?
Oh, that's a very good question.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Want to ask him that?
No, hold there, Martin.
Okay.
Hopefully Martin thinks it's a good question too.
We'll come back very shortly.
Martin Cocker from Netsafe.
And it's the hits.
6.60, all she wrote.
It is the hits.
Jono and Ben, 16 past 8.
Now it is Netsafe week, and we're talking to the head of Netsafe,
Martin Cocker.
They're here to keep people safe online.
We're putting the questions to him that we all want to know
around safety on the internet.
How often should we be changing our passwords, Martin?
More often than we do, but not as often as we get told to do, really.
I mean, the reality is if you have different passwords on different sites,
then changing them is not that necessary.
What happens these days is that your password gets stolen from somewhere
and then used somewhere else.
So if you use the same password on multiple sites,
which the reality is most of us do,
when it gets stolen from one place and it gets used somewhere else,
then they'll be successful getting in.
So, you know, the idea that people sort of spend their time guessing your password,
that's no longer the case.
They just literally have stolen it from one site and then used it on another.
Well, so much.
Once you start asking these questions, Martin,
there's so many questions that we want to ask.
And we might quickly rip into two more.
Firstly, you have something like Alexa in your house
or something that's kind of listening and it's voice activated.
Is it always listening?
Like, should I be nervous about we have one brought into my house by my daughter?
Well, can I just say Ben is always nervous.
It's just the level of nervousness.
Yeah, what are they listening to?
And should I be worried that this thing is listening all the time?
It has to be listening all the time because it's listening for the wake word.
So for Alexa, it's waiting for Alexa.
And anybody who's listening to the radio with Alexa in their house, I've just woken up for them.
Alexa, Alexa!
But it doesn't mean that it's recording everything.
So it has to be listening, but it doesn't record.
So all those big players, Alexa, Google, Apple, they definitely have to listen all the time.
But they have, you know, within their terms and conditions, which we know you haven't read, but there's definitely there.
They confirm that they don't record anything else
and they don't pass that information back to the headquarters.
And, you know, there are two bigger companies to lie about those sorts of things.
So, yes, it's listening all the time,
but you don't have to think that a permanent record of your life's been created
and sent back to those corporations.
Now, finally, I'm kind of going through this at the moment with my eldest, Oscar.
He's on Snapchat.
And you're kind of like, I don't know how it works, mate.
I'm an old man.
But when is the appropriate age for kids to get on social media?
Well, the rules for social media are mostly based on the age of 13.
There are some social media products coming out for younger kids which will change that.
But there's a law in the US that says that once you're 13,
you're allowed to make a decision about your private information,
and that's why those services are set at 13.
But the important thing for us to know
is that that's the expectation of the service.
So once someone's 13, they're allowed on the service,
which means that the service has a responsibility
to protect 13-year-olds.
So that's the ideal time.
Lots of younger kids go on to those main products.
If they do, and if you are okay with that as a parent, they're not breaking the law,
so be clear about that.
They're breaking the terms and conditions.
That I haven't read.
Which, again, you haven't read yet.
Which you might have done there, yeah.
Yeah, so they're not breaking the law.
They're just breaking the terms and conditions.
And if you're okay with them doing that, we just recommend that you have a much more active time monitoring them
because this side is accepting responsibility to protect people 30 and over,
but if you're going to allow your child younger to go on, then you're accepting that responsibility.
Oh, okay, that's a good way to look at it.
So I should be a better parent is what you're saying.
I try to stay cut short of that. Just sort of insinuate it.
Yeah, well, there is so much stuff that is just a concern nowadays.
You know, what people can post that can come back.
You know, all that sort of stuff.
Yeah, like, I mean, what would you...
What about sending nudes to someone?
Say, let's just have a hypothetical situation.
I've sent some nude pictures to a wonderful colleague of mine
who I've worked with for many years, and I trust him. Is that the right thing to do, even if you really
trust the person? Well, I mean, if you're doing it consensually, you're certainly not breaking
any laws or doing anything wrong if both of you have consented to that. You know, the reality is
as soon as you create those images and share them with somebody
else, then the risk that they get passed on exists. So you sort of, you know, you have to
accept that risk at that point. You know, the person who, if later on that trusted co-worker,
you know, abuses that privilege of having your images and passes them on, they are the offender,
they are the one that we should be annoyed with. But, you know, the reality is if you do never
create them, you never have the risk.
So it's a tough one.
I never want to say to people you can't do something
which is perfectly legitimate and extending,
but at the same time, you know,
there'll be a risk that will come with it.
Yeah.
Hey, Martin, this has been bloody interesting, mate.
I tell you what, we're going to keep your number.
And is that okay?
Yeah, yeah, no problem.
I'll send you some pics.
Can I trust okay? Yeah, yeah, no problem. I'll send you some pics. Can I trust you?
But also, you will keep note of NetSafe Safety Week.
NetSafe Safety Week is a big week this week.
Yes, yes it is.
Thank you very much to Martin Cocker from NetSafe there.
Hard-hitting interviews and informed opinion.
Mike Hosking on New Salted Bean.
In the meantime, here's Jono and Ben.
The hits.
Now, are you a God parent?
I am.
With my mate's child, yeah.
We're pretty awesome.
Were you struggling to remember the name of your...
No, it was one of those things where I'm not going to...
You know, like I was going to name it.
I was like, actually, let's keep it private, you know.
But you do know the name.
Yeah, yeah.
That's all I know, though, to be honest.
Or is that just a cover-up?
Yeah, old Wattses.
All right, good to see you.
Wattsy.
Don't tell me, don't tell me.
Hey, kiddo.
Hey, mate.
Good to see you, bud.
All right, champ.
Oh, boy.
Boy, you're getting big now.
Yeah.
But, you know, I'm the godparent,
and we just got asked to be godparents again.
So it's a wonderful honour.
It is a really lovely honour.
And to be honest, we got asked by our good friends, Jason Tiff,
and I think they asked both of us,
but they really probably wanted the sensible, safe pair of hands
of my wife, Jennifer.
Yeah, to be honest.
I love you, but no.
But Jen, yeah, she's out of her hands,
but then you're involved, so no.
But you know
I wouldn't be involved.
She's doing all the admin.
So there's a risk.
I barely remember my own kid's name.
It's a lone godparent.
Hey little fella.
Hello, I'm not your godchild.
Gee, you're growing up quick.
It's just some random 20-year-old man.
But I'm a godchild of another child too, Tyson,
who I'm not afraid to name my wife's bed.
Oh, I can if you want me to.
I just didn't know if it was a, you know.
I'm just proving that I remembered his name.
Yeah.
But I'm a shocking godparent.
I really am.
Ask me Tyson's birthday.
What's Tyson's birthday?
I don't know.
That's the thing, man. It gets to the stage where it
goes too far past.
You can't ask now, can you?
Can you go, hey,
just getting prepared for Tyson's birthday. When was
that again? But then I'm like, what are the
expectations of a godparent?
It's like, yeah, I'll be a godparent. I don't know what it means.
I don't know what
ramifications there are, what I'm expected to do.
Yeah, because it's interesting.
I think maybe you remember a birthday.
Connection to the, you know, because I think it was set up back in the day.
If I'm wrong for people, like if something happened to the parents,
why do we need someone to look after the child?
That was what it was for.
But now, I mean, we've got a will saying what we want to do in that situation
so we don't have a god.
We don't have godbrothers saying, okay. I'll be your godfather. No, mate, we've got a will. what we want to do in that situation so we don't have a God. We don't have God saying, okay, this is...
I'll be your Godfather.
No, mate, we've got a will.
No, I'll be your Godfather.
Sir, I can't.
Lawyers fees to change the lawyers.
I mean, you don't want to go down that road, mate.
He won't accept you as a Godfather.
No, no.
I'm putting myself forward.
I don't want you, mate.
We've got a family.
We've got other friends involved.
I will father your children.
No, mate, we've got people there that I try...
I mean, I love you, but it's not, you know.
You can have these headphones
Oh thank you, I'll look after
those headphones. Now producer Humphrey
you've just come in with your hand up, you're a god parent
I am yes and I'm a shocker
as well. I actually
at the
christening I pointed out to
my friend who is the godmother
and I said
look now part of your role is to remind me
when the birthdays are and keep me informed
of what I need to be doing.
And that worked well for the first year.
Haven't heard a whisper from anyone involved
for the last five years.
And they haven't heard a whisper from you?
No.
So have you said birthday presents or anything?
No, look, once you miss the first couple, it's like...
Yeah, it's too for the boat sale.
That's on her, though.
That's on the mother.
She should have been reminding you.
Juliet, are you a godparent?
No, I'm not.
My sister is a godparent.
You could be.
Do you want to be a godparent of my kids?
Yes!
Yes!
What?
I trust her.
What, Julie?
What?
What the hell?
I have known you for 15 years, not even 12 months.
She gets the gold, what?
Safe for hands.
No, but it must run in my family because my sister is a godparent to my younger cousin
and she is the most organised, never misses a birthday, always sends him things and messages
and if she sees something that he'll like, she'll buy it and send it to him.
And she's very honest.
She's the role model.
Okay, we want to play a little game, okay?
0800 the hits is the telephone number.
You just call us up.
You'll introduce yourself.
And then we have to try and guess whether you're a godparent or a bad parent.
A bad godparent.
Yeah, the good and the bad.
You're a legendary one or you're one that's a little bit like
not quite fulfilling the duties.
And if we don't nail it, you're going to win a prize.
We've got some Hell Pizza, B-House.
No, we've got some tickets to experience
Disney's newest live action-adventure film.
It's in cinemas today, Jungle Cruise.
Oh, great.
They're starring Dwayne The Rock Johnson and Emily Blunt.
So you could win those on 0800THEHITS.
Give us a call right now.
It is the killers.
Somebody told me it is the hits.
Jono and Ben.
Just talking about are you a good godparent or a bad godparent,
I admitted to the team that I was probably one of the world's most shocking godparents.
So I've now just been asked recently to become the godparent of another child,
my wife jennifer
and myself and as i said i think they were more angling for jennifer's skills like if we were to
she's mother theresa and i'm just some ratty bogan from moronsville a teen i would be a kid rock yeah
i'd be kid rock you're off after it was having all sorts seven kids to nine mums those maths
don't even add up yeah but and and the too, because remembering birthdates, Juliette, is probably a big one, right?
Yeah.
But like, as a godparent, if you commit from the get-go and you're giving gifts every birthday,
at what age do you then button off?
Is it like the 21st birthday you're an adult now, or is it kind of like before?
When you commit, it's like, oh God, have I gone in too deep?
Did you have a comment that everyone has yeah i don't have god parents oh
yeah yeah no we didn't have you don't even have real parents either you don't even know that my
parents are like oh i don't know i think it's god i don't know this kid he's like mom dad i don't
know who's this sorry he must be adopted yeah but it's not something that every family does
we don't have it for our kids and we don't kids. But you have a plan in place, I guess, if anything happens.
No, you literally just asked Juliet
if she would do it.
Well, no.
And I...
Anyway.
It was for comedic radio purposes.
But she would be great.
She would be the one I'd choose.
You would be.
You would be very good.
The problem,
I'm just not a dates guy.
Yeah.
You know?
And I'm never going to be a dates guy.
Or maybe I could just start
using a calendar
like a normal person.
We'll get Debbie on.
We're going to play a game.
Are you a godparent or a bad parent?
Debbie, do a little bit of talking.
Introduce yourself.
Okay, I'm Debbie.
I'm from Tauranga, originally from South Africa.
I've been here for three years.
I am a parent.
I have a 17-year-old.
Okay, so she sounds like a safe pair of hands.
You do sound like a safe pair of hands.
All right, I'm going to say you're a godparent.
Yeah.
I am a godparent, but not a good one.
Oh!
Join the club.
No, I was shocking.
They were a year old and three years old,
and I'd done everything, remembered the birthdays,
been really, really good,
and my best friend and I had a major falling out
and never saw them again.
Oh, yeah, you don't get more shocking than that.
It's sad.
I mean, it does happen, but it's sad that it's a falling out.
So you've never, I guess, no contact, nothing?
No, no.
And obviously they live in South Africa.
So, yeah.
Hey, we've got an idea.
Let's reunite you two after the air break, shall we?
Get the number.
No, thank you.
I'm always trying to create these moments.
It's my job.
Yeah.
Okay, we'll talk to Debbie off air and try and con her into calling you back.
Double pass to the Jungle Cruise coming your way.
Enjoy that movie, all right?
Wonderful, thank you.
Love you, Debbie.
All right, we'll get Donna on from Rotorua.
Welcome, Donna Morena.
Good morning.
Great to have you on.
Okay, tell us a bit about yourself.
Okay, I'm a mum of three adults
and soon to be in two weeks 11 grandchildren.
Oh, you're a godparent.
You'd be a good one.
I've got three godchildren,
but one of my first granddaughter was made,
I was made a godparent,
and she's 15 now. We've been raising her since she was made, I was made a godparent. And she's 15 now.
We've been raising her since she was three.
And I'm also raising a 15-year-old grandson.
So I think I'm okay.
You're good.
You are, Mother Teresa.
Yeah, you are.
Wow, that's awesome.
And I send birthday, Easter, Christmas presents to all the godchildren
and all my grandchildren and my sons and daughter in Northern Australia.
I see we found a good
one. We found you better than us.
Some tickets to experience Disney's
newest live action adventure Jungle Cruise
coming your way. Enjoy that. Amazing, lovely
thank you. Awesome.
We'll get John from Hamilton on. Tell us about yourself
John. Yeah, more or no
everyone. More or no.
I've got three
kids of my own but I've got multiple nie of my own, but I've got multiple
nieces and nephews.
Is he a godparent or a bad parent?
I don't like saying they're
godparents. I imagine
John would look after his own brood
well, but I don't know how
he'd go with the one. I'm going to say he's a
bad one. What are you going to look at?
Is he?
Yeah, a bad one because I are you looking? Is he? Yeah, a bad one.
I know I'm a godparent to one of my nieces,
but I just can't actually remember which one.
So they all get presents.
I'm not playing favourites,
because I don't know which one is meant to be my favourite.
Oh, John, that's so good.
Go and join Jungle Cruise, mate.
We're going to send you along to see Emily Blunt
and Dwayne The Rock Johnson in cinemas right now.
Awesome, thanks.
Thanks, John.
Great text.
Can I just read this text out too?
It's just come through, 4487.
I went to a ceremony where the godmother
almost set the child's hair on fire in the church with the candle.
Oh, wait. mother almost set the child's hair on fire in the church with the candle. No way!
I'm pretty sure she got benched from gone motherly
duties after that.
Mmm, coffee breath.
Jono and Ben, the heads.
Hey, of course the Olympics are going on
right now in Tokyo. A couple of
medals, silver medals yesterday for New
Zealand, so congratulations to our rugby sevens
and the women's Double Sculls.
Hannah Osborne and Brooke Donoghue are for winning silver.
Two more silver medals to our tally,
but as I said earlier...
I've seen Juliet do the Women's Double Sculls.
It's last week's...
Different double sculling, wasn't it?
You should be at the Olympics.
Yeah, no, silver medals for me, please.
But I was saying it's only two medals technically to our tally,
but there was at least ten Sevens
players that got silver. This is a little hack
that Ben found earlier in the show
that we can boost us up the medal tally
I'm adding twelve. Twelve medals
so far. So all of the
Sevens players
Hayden Wilde we said he completed the
triathlon that's another three bronzes
so I'm saying twelve silvers and
three bronzes for New Zealand so far.
So we are after a loose Olympic connection.
We did this yesterday, and actually, ironically, we just mentioned him.
Hayden Wild, we got him on the show.
What is your connection to the Olympics?
He came third, bronze medal, triathlon,
and we'd mentioned to him that it looked like everyone crossed the finish line
and just started vomiting.
The old Christian who won obviously spewed up in the middle of the finish line.
Everyone was just like collapsing in his vomit.
Yeah, collapsing in his vomit.
You might want to just check the bottom of your shoes, mate.
Just give them a hose off before you come back to New Zealand.
Oh, mate, you should see my tri-suit because when I was trying to help the guy off the ground,
he kind of did a cheeky vom on my leg.
I couldn't believe it.
So there you go, inside stuff. That's the stuff that you don't hear on the post-match, isn't it? He just did a cheeky vom on my leg. I couldn't believe it. So there you go, inside stuff. That's the stuff that you don't
hear on the post-match, isn't it?
He does a cheeky bomb on my leg.
I get it, sounding like Juliet at the work drink
after the double sculls.
When you were trying to pick her up off the ground.
So 0800, that's the telephone
number. What is your
connection, your loose connection, or it could be a tight
connection to the Olympic Games.
Maybe
one of the rugby ferns tackled you and gave you a concussion in a primary school
game of lunchtime rugby, and now you're living with the long-term effects of the brain damage
from that tackle.
Maybe that's an option, yeah.
Kasania, you've phoned through from Wellington early on the case.
You've got a connection.
Yes, I do.
Good morning to you. Yeah, I have
a connection with a woman
Blackstick
Blackstick
Oh, the hockey team. Oh, wow.
Yeah, her name is Kelsey
Smith
and we used to work together
in a supermarket a couple
years ago. Oh, awesome.
I'm just looking.
What was Kelsey's role in the supermarket?
Was she after trolleys?
Was she running the checkout, bakery?
No, she was in the grocery.
She was a grocery girl.
Oh, grocery girl.
There you go.
Yes, no, she's definitely in the team.
I can vouch for that.
She's even on the official website of the hockey team.
Oh, there you go.
Which you would imagine is a given.
At that time, I actually didn't know
that she was
in the team until
she mentioned that she was
doing it
for the
last Olympics.
Oh, right.
Given the fact she was running around the supermarket
with breadsticks and
knocking a container of butter around the floor,
didn't give it away.
Hey, thank you, Kisanya.
Appreciate your time.
Love your work.
Good on you.
That's how it works.
Your loose connection to the Olympic team.
You can call us 0800-THE-HITS, 4487 on the text.
We'll see what we get after the weekend.
It is The Hits.
You got John on, Ben.
I can't sleep until I feel your touch. Got Jono and Ben.
It is the weekend.
You're on the hits, Jono and Ben.
The Olympics, of course, are on right now in Tokyo,
and we wanted your loose or strong connection to the Olympics.
Do you have a connection with someone who is over there competing for New Zealand?
No, we've got Monique on from the South Waikato.
Morena, Monique.
Morena, how are you all?
Great. After a loose connection with thena, how are you all? Great.
After a loose connection with the Olympics, what have you got, babes?
Yeah, Donna Hugh, who just won silver in the rowing.
We used to work for her parents on their dairy farm.
Oh, wonderful connection.
That's a beautiful loose connection right there.
That's awesome.
How proud did you feel yesterday watching her win silver?
Absolutely blooming fantastic, that is.
How cool is that? So, so proud of her. Yep, you say, I milked
their cows. I sure did
milk their cows.
That's wonderful stuff. Are they lovely people?
Oh, absolutely. Hands down.
They're absolutely fantastic. It'd be great if you were
like, no, absolute monsters.
Shocking human beings. No, no. They are
brilliant. No. Oh, that's awesome.
Oh, well, yeah, well, it's so cool yesterday seeing that and hopefully there's more medals to come today.
Hopefully.
Everyone's doing fantastic over there, that's for sure.
Hey, wonderful stuff.
Thank you very much.
Producer Humphrey, you want to get that top text on, mate?
We'll try and get to them very shortly.
We've got someone who's over in Japan right now with a loose connection to the Olympics.
Nin Roberts.
So I'm here in Tokyo as an athlete support for the NZOC.
So looking after all our New Zealand athletes here in Tokyo.
Oh, wow.
This is not loose.
Hang up on her.
It's not a loose connection.
This is too tight.
Too strong a connection.
This sounds like an amazing job.
But also I imagine quite a tricky job at the moment with all the protocols and everything that's going on. Yeah,
yeah, we're pretty stringent on
the protocols and it's all for good
reason. I mean, you know,
COVID is here in Tokyo, so
the NZOC
and our Chief Commissioner, Rob Waddell,
has done an incredible job with ensuring that every
single sport, every single athlete
and support staff know
what their role is and what we need to do to
ensure that we get the best outcome for everyone
so that they can perform. Ben was telling
me yesterday that apparently in the Olympic Village
they have cardboard beds. Can you
confirm this, Nin? I can
confirm and they are
amazing, actually. It's
the most comfortable sleep I've had.
Wow! On a cardboard bed?
And I tell you what, after many nights in my bed,
I probably would have wanted to burn it a couple of times
so you could do that the next morning.
Yeah.
Get a new one.
So it's actually really comfy.
Yeah.
There's a mattress on it and you can turn the mattress
if it's too hard and you can adjust parts of the cardboard bed
to make different parts of the bed more softer.
And yeah, it's really, really good.
And they're also handing out contraception but saying don't use it,
which I don't – it's a mixed message.
Well, no, they're saying use it because of COVID, obviously.
They were saying keep it as like a souvenir, which I thought was a nice idea.
Yeah, I haven't seen any of that in our New Zealand space, to be honest,
but I'm sure they're floating around somewhere.
I love how they use it as a souvenir when the grandkids,
look what I've got here.
This is from 2021, this.
Is it quite eerie when you go into these big sports stadiums
and there's hardly anyone inside?
Is it quite weird, or are they pumping out the crowd sound effects
in the event?
Oh, no, it is.
It's really odd, actually.
I'm not going to lie. I mean, going
into swimming and having been there before
at an Olympic Games, it's pumping
and it's really
sad because you've got your swimmers
there that are yelling on the
sideline, but it's just the atmosphere isn't there.
Not that they can hear it when they're in the pool, but
at hockey last night,
it's just a different vibe.
But actually the athletes are there to perform.
So regardless of crowd or no crowd,
they just get on with it.
They're pretty incredible.
Yeah, well, I'm sure there's probably some of the triathletes
who are like, well, no one turns up to our race in Denmark
in the middle of the year.
So this is really...
I'll say it's the full two hours of support.
If anyone, there's more people here.
Yeah, I mean, Hayden certainly had a decent crowd watch,
and it was great.
You know, he came into the village yesterday
and went and did a recovery run in the afternoon.
He's just phenomenal, that guy.
Hold on, he went for another run after a triathlon?
Yeah, just a warm-down run.
I know, we were all like, where are you going?
You know, just an afternoon trot, you know?
Oh, my goodness.
How long was his afternoon trot?
I didn't ask, but he wasn't out there for too long.
But I've never met someone with so much energy.
He's so incredible.
Oh, that's so awesome.
Well, thank you for what you're doing for New Zealand and all the athletes.
It sounds like an amazing, rewarding job.
And do you get one of those sweet New Zealand bucket hats as well?
I saw those on the news.
They look cool.
I do. Yeah? Yeah, I do. rewarding job and do you get one of those sweet new zealand uh bucket hats as well i saw those on the news they look cool yeah yeah i can't pull off a bucket hat but i like i like them but i
could i don't know i feel like now i can't i just yeah oh no we should we should see if we can
arrange one for you shouldn't we that's what he was fishing no i wasn't i wasn't i saw them
you didn't see that coming he was coming in from a long way out no i just he was no but i'm not i
like my daughters wear bucket hats and they look good in them.
But now I'm like, Dad, take the bucket hat off.
You're not cool enough to wear that anymore.
Bucket hats go way back.
I used to wear them.
I was wearing these long before.
But they weren't.
Shut up, old man.
Listen, Nin, you're doing a great job over there.
Please pass on our well wishes to all of the athletes.
So proud of them.
And you keep safe and good luck.
Yeah, will do.
Thanks, guys.
There you go.
Nin Roberts, who's the athlete support over in the Villages.
We'll keep this going, eh?
Your loose connection to the New Zealand Olympic team
or the Olympics in general.
We'll take anything.
That person who didn't let you merge
probably listens to a lesser radio station.
Jono and Ben, the hits.
We're doing loose connections to the Olympics.
Not so loose.
We're getting some pretty loose connections of like,
oh, I've heard of the Olympics.
Yeah.
We're just tightening it up a little bit.
A bit stronger than that.
Now we have Kim on the phone on 0800 The Hits.
Your loose connection to the Olympics, Kim.
I helped with an anti-nausea class that Valerie Adams and her husband,
Gabriel, attended.
Oh, wow.
Tell you what, her Lamar's breathing would have been on point, wouldn't it?
Well, we don't do Lamar's antenatal classes in New Zealand.
Oh, sorry.
Check, I should.
No, you know what I'm going to do right now, Kim?
I'm going to go and sign up for an antenatal class and do it all again,
just so you know what you can do for a better joke next time.
All right, Johnny?
That's what you're going to do? That's's right don't tell me what it is they'll be
like what's your baby do you like i've got two kids this is for comedy purposes but i but i made
a joke and it was wrong and now i'm gonna go back on wednesday night i'm gonna sign you up all right
how was she how was val all right oh she amazing. She's a lot taller than I am,
but her and her husband
are such a lovely bunch
of people, so it was lovely to have them in the
class. Yeah.
Very good to have for New Zealanders.
Well, let's hope she can birth
a gold
medal. Don't try and make a connection
right now. There's a connection. Let's hope she can.
I'm sorry. Yeah. Yeah, birth a gold medal. What's wrong with birth a gold medal? connection right now. There's a connection. Let's hope she can. I'm sorry. Yeah.
Yeah, Bertha gold medal.
What's wrong with Bertha gold medal?
I thought we were going to go weird.
Do you mind Bertha gold medal, Kim?
Maybe.
No, no, she's not fully sold.
All right.
I'll see you Monday night for the class anyway.
I appreciate your call.
Thanks so much.
It is nice. Bye.
New Zealand's breakfast. This is Jono and Ben on the much. It is nice. Bye. New Zealand's Breakfast.
This is Jono and Ben on the hits.
Good morning, New Zealand.
Welcome on to the show.
It is a Thursday morning.
Good to have you.
Bit of a shaky start to Thursday for Ben, boys.
You sent us a bit of a text going, guys, running late.
What happened?
Oh, I walked into sort of the pantry area to sort out some breakfast this morning,
and I stood on something.
I was like, oh, that was a bit wet and sort of...
You never want to stand on wet things
in darkness, do you? It kind of unsettles you.
And this was after I'd had a shower, I stood on that
and I was like, oh, the cat smelled it.
And I was like, the cat had... Which is not very good for the cat
because he hasn't done this before. He hasn't sprayed
in the kitchen. No, and so then it was like
and it was well, I cleaned it up and then it was one of those
situations where you're like, you smell it and you're like, oh, I'm going to have
to re-shower. So it was this, you know, just quickly reshower.
Oh, you got that double shower?
Yeah, because it was like, it kind of seeped into the foot, you know.
Really cut through the nostrils, the old cat you're on.
So I was like, that's going to put me behind.
In the morning, we've talked about this before, every minute counts.
You know, like, you've got your sort of thing, and then when one thing happens, throws you right out.
You can't factor in a double shower.
No.
But you look doubly clean, if that's a plus side. Yeah.
Julian, how was the start to your morning? Less frantic?
Yeah, it was reasonably relaxed.
I actually got ready quicker
than usual, which I was quite happy with.
But it never happens.
You're right. Actually, you count
to the minute. You're right. I look up the clock, okay?
It's alright. 4.34, alright.
Okay, I've got another two minutes to do this.
If I'm not in the car by X01
yep
wild
routines eh
we all have them
that's some relatable
stuff to kick the show off
we've got a big show
today
after 8 o'clock
we're going to talk
to someone who
it was Isha
you brought this up
yesterday
when you go online
and you're doing things
like you're clicking
on cookies
or you're putting
your credit card in
what's the privacy
things around that?
What are we signing up for when we click T's and C's
and cookies and all that?
In most websites, I do accept cookies.
Yes, I do.
Do I know what cookies are?
No, I don't.
But I'll accept them.
So we've got an expert joining us after 8 o'clock
as well as $5,000 after 7.
But next, if you missed it yesterday,
the biggest interview this show has ever had,
Dwayne The Rock Johnson and Emily Blunt.
Next.
It's Taylor Swift, Blank Space, 10 past 6 on your Thursday morning.
Yesterday, we played it out for you and we wanted to play it again
because it was an amazing moment you put together.
A journey that's been a couple of months in the making
since I got an I Heart Dwayne Johnson tattoo on my bottom.
Yeah, and it was all to get the attention of your hero, Dwayne The Rock Johnson.
And unfortunately, it didn't garner the attention of your hero, Dwayne The Rock Johnson.
I'd given up on it.
Yeah, I know you had.
I know.
You looked dead inside.
Stop talking about it.
You're like, I check his Instagram every day, though, just to see if he has put it up.
That's what I told you, that confidence.
You're like, stop talking about it. We're still checking.
I'm like what do you want to do here? I know but publicly
I'd given up on it. I was like please
don't bring this up anymore. But behind the scenes
I was desperate for it. So we turned
up to a movie theatre in Wellington
when we were on the road a couple of weeks ago. The Roxy
Theatre and you thought
we were there to see a preview screening
of The Jungle Cruise with
Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt
for some ticket giveaways that we're going to do on the radio.
She sat down in the movie theater seats.
Boom, imagine this on the big screen.
Ben thinks it's going to be the introduction of the film,
but Dwayne the Rock Johnson and Emily Blunt pop up on Zoom.
Hello.
What's up, Ben? Is that Ben?
Is this a...
What is this? Is this a pre-recorded message?
Is this a pre-recorded message?
No, it's not.
Is this Ben? Surprise, Ben.
Surprise, Ben.
Ben?
Are you there?
Holy shit!
This is a pre-recorded message.
You guys look so cute in your hats.
You can use your lips and they will talk back to you.
The Dwayne Johnson, are you there, seriously?
Yes, yes.
We love your cool denim jacket.
Oh, oh, oh.
He was not prepared for this.
I love you guys, I love you guys.
We love you, surprise.
Why would you do this to me?
I'm so, what is this? So this is- I thought you were, I love you guys. We love you, surprise. Why would you do this to me? I'm so, what is this?
So this is...
I thought you were watching the movie.
I know your hero's here,
and this is an interview that you're very underprepared for.
Yeah, I would like some more time to,
I love you guys, I'm so excited about watching the movie, but...
I pre-prepared some questions for him,
they may be for a completely different movie.
Holy, oh my God holy oh my god oh my
god wow have you seen the film yet i was just sitting there comfortably and you guys like hey
ben i'm like who's what ben this is a really weird start to the movie yeah he was he was he thought
we were coming to watch the film so the downside is we're not going to watch the movie now oh yeah
we'll shut this thing off then no no no but where no. But where are you guys? What's going on? Is this like a...
I'm so many questions,
so many trust issues I have with him right now.
What's happening?
Well, we're in Atlanta,
and we were told to come and surprise you,
so that's why we're here.
Well, you have.
Jesus, I'm like, listen, we've got cameras,
we're in a movie theatre in New Zealand.
No, no, no, but the thing is, they're very busy.
We've only got eight minutes.
So if you can do all this afterwards.
Yeah, first question. Okay, question. Okay. Jungle Sorry. If you can do all this afterwards. Yeah, first question.
Okay, question.
Okay.
Jungle Cruise.
If you're in...
Oh, Jungle Cruise.
If you're coming to New Zealand on a Jungle Cruise,
what was the first thing you'd do in New Zealand
on the Jungle Cruise?
First thing I would do once I got there.
Once we got there,
I would take Emily to my favourite spot
to have some drinks.
I used to live in New Zealand.
No, you didn't.
I did. Did you really? Yeah, I grew up in New Zealand. I did a lot of my growing up in New Zealand. What was your favourite spot? have some drinks. I used to live in New Zealand. No, you didn't. I did.
Did you really?
Yeah, I grew up in New Zealand.
I did a lot of my growing up in New Zealand.
What was your favourite spot?
Well, I wasn't drinking.
Well, I shouldn't have been drinking.
I was eight years old, but I was still drinking at eight, yes.
It's actually what builds the muscle.
Do you know, our economy has been trading off the fact
that Dwayne Johnson spent a couple of years in New Zealand.
We've been trading off that internationally for about
20 years now. Yeah. It's the coolest
thing to happen to us is we
found sheep in our country.
You know? We found sheep.
It's amazing.
But I did. I used to live in New Zealand
and I have a lot of family in New Zealand still.
I went to school in New Zealand. I went to Richmond
Road and I lived in Grey Lynn.
And New Zealand will always be a special place because I'm an only child. school in New Zealand. I went to Richmond Road and I lived in Grey Lynn. And New Zealand will always be a special place because it was, you know, I'm an only child.
But in New Zealand is when we lived together with all my grandparents, my Samoan side of the family.
You had brothers and sisters.
Brothers and sisters and aunties and uncles and everybody.
So that was the first time that I really experienced like multi-generational living in the family.
Yes, as it was.
Oh, mate, you even just say New Zealandaland then we'll get another 10 years out of that
he hasn't forgotten about it he still knows it oh my god now uh emily i know that uh duane is
very famous for uh lugging his uh iron paradise gymnasium around the world and you begged for
access to the gym are you paying a 12-month
membership you wouldn't believe what he charges for this entrance to the gym but um i i was allowed
into the cathedral of iron paradise well first of all i famously don't like working out with anybody
right but this one i didn't work out she didn't she just asked me she's like hey can i come to
the gym i was like yeah sure just invite yourself absolutely so she comes in and she kicks ass she's
a badass man in the gym do you remember the only time you gave me a tip it was one of the only
times we were in there together and i was on that you know when you like lock your arms in you lift
your legs up and down that one yes and i was doing like the wussy version yes it's called a leg
extension the leg extension one was like you were like you were like you should just straighten your legs out like
comes in the gym she leaves all the baby weights around and all that shit
it's a mess it's so tidy like anally tidy and i was just about to say do you use the
detail wipes to wipe down the equipment after you use them? And I didn't realize, he is so tidy and germaphobe.
You'd be kicked out of the gym.
What three items would you actually take of your own if you're on a jungle cruise?
That's quite good.
Dwayne would bring his gym, obviously.
That's good.
Dwayne would bring...
Imodium?
Imodium, okay. I'm going to have to Google that one afterwards bring Imodium. Imodium.
I'm going to have to Google that one afterwards.
Imodium, Pepto-Bismol
and
some like sort of
industrial type deodorant.
Oh, okay.
Emily would bring things she
doesn't use. Toothbrush.
Wow.
Toilet paper.
That is so great.
Hey, you guys are in the jungle.
You've got to improvise.
You've got to improvise in the jungle.
Just use some leaves.
I'm going to find some leaves.
Come on, yeah.
So that was the first chunk of the interview,
and I felt a responsibility to make Dwayne Johnson aware of your tattoo.
Next, have a listen to this, the reaction of Dwayne Johnson
when we show him Ben's Dwayne Johnson tattoo on his bottom.
It's unbelievable, and that's next on The Hits.
I get up, I get down, and I'm jumping around in the rock. Let's go, I and i'm jumping around here we go you're on the hits uh jono and
ben uh yesterday uh we played it for you and we want to play it again in case you missed it because
it was so epic uh it was weeks behind the scenes you've been basically putting together a surprise
for me featuring my hero du Dwayne The Rock Johnson,
and the awesome Emily Blunt, thanks to Disney's Jungle Cruise,
which is out tomorrow.
And so I went to a movie theatre in Wellington,
thinking we were going to watch,
we were lucky enough to watch the preview of the movie.
Bang, they pop up on the big screen over Zoom,
my hero Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt, and I get to talk to them,
we get to chat to them.
It was surreal.
And your tattoo on your bottom,
that we've been banging on about for the last three months.
Jeez, have we been banging on about this
to you? Yeah. A lot of banging.
Maybe I should like montage the amount
of times we've said the rock tattoo.
The rock tattoo.
But it's on you to pull us back.
You need to go, guys, you're banging on.
We're old men. We just rattle on.
But in this instance
it's fine though because it would have felt weird not to bring
it up with The Rock,
Dwayne Johnson, right?
Because obviously you didn't know it was happening.
So what I'd done, because tastefully, I thought I'd do this in a tasteful way,
is print out your tattoo, and Juliet even went to the troubles of laminating it.
So I held up a picture of it to the screen, and this was their reaction.
Can I just railroad for a quick moment?
Dwayne, this is either going to make you very
impressed or it's going to creep you out to the point where you're going to end this zoom call
okay ben boyce is a mega fan so much so that i made him get this on his left bottom cheek
can you see that wait a second we saw that look Wait a second. I've seen that.
Did you post it?
No, I didn't post it, but I sent it to you.
Yes, and you said you should get this.
And I said you should get this.
No way.
No, this is...
They have text your tattoo to each other.
No, this is...
Wait a second.
I have it.
I have it.
I feel like I'm deep in the heaven right now.
I do remember that.
No, no.
Can you guys see it?
That's me. That's me. That's me! That's my left cheek!
Show them the cheek!
Show them the cheek!
Let me see it. Put your pants down.
Oh my god!
That's it!
That is so awesome!
My wife Amanda's like,
you don't even have a love heart with my name on it,
but you have Dwayne the Rock Johnson. Can you get me on the other bum cheek? Awesome. My wife Amanda's like, you don't even have a love heart with my name on it,
but you have Dwayne the Rock Johnson.
Can you get me on the other bum cheek?
I'll get it after this.
I'll get it after this.
I'll send it to you, all right?
There's a promise.
I'm a hole.
Wow.
Okay.
Hey, guys.
Might I remind you we're here for a Disney movie?
It's Disney.
Guys, you pulled your pants down.
I know, I'm sorry.
I'm going to regret it.
This is like the greatest thing you've ever seen.
Oh, my God.
That's just so bit of a game.
Hold on, really quickly.
I do want to say, Ben, I've been holding onto this video for, I think, a month and a half,
two months.
I haven't posted it yet, but I have been planning on doing it.
So now I'm glad I didn't post it.
So now we've had a chance to meet.
Now when I do post it, I can give proper context
that I actually met the man who did it.
But thank you for doing that, brother.
I really appreciate that.
Thank you.
Wow.
Thank you so much.
Wow.
Well, from the bottom of his bottom, we thank you as well.
Hey, Jonah and Ben.
Sorry, we just have time for one last question.
Oh come on, one more.
One last question.
We're getting one last question.
Okay, my final question is, have you had a fun time?
The best time.
You guys gave us a skip in our step.
You're awesome.
By the way, literally, it's right here.
Rebecca, do you have the term on it?
Come on Rebecca, bring it in.
Before this interview, we were like, we need some
tequila. We were feeling it
after a day of press, and you guys,
I feel a bit drunk after speaking
to you. You can just bring a bottle back over.
This is so surreal. Are you going to do a
shot in front of us right now?
It's 10 o'clock in the morning in New Zealand,
so people would judge us for our drinking habits,
but we can watch you. It's a different
time zone. No one would judge you for your drinking
in New Zealand. Come on.
That's true. I feel sorry
for your next five interviews.
Don't.
They're going to be brilliant.
Wow. I feel like I'm...
This is a career highlight.
This is a life highlight.
Sorry to my kids and my wife for wedding
day and birthdays.
Alright guys, so to Ben and what's your
other name brother? My name's Jono.
It's not important right now.
It's not important.
There's my other name.
To Ben and the other guy.
To Jono and to Ben.
Cheers to your bottom Ben.
And thank you guys. Cheers to Jungle bottom, Ben. And thank you, guys.
And cheers to Jungle Cruise.
And thank you for being awesome.
Thank you, guys.
Cheers.
That was fun.
Oh, listen.
Wow.
I love you guys.
I love you guys, too.
Love you guys.
See you guys.
Ow.
Listen, where does this put me on the best friends stage?
Mate, you're like.
Do I get extra points?
Mate, I feel like I could get rid of Dwayne Johnson's name,
get iHeart, John O'Prior.
Did you...
But this is...
It was all me.
Like, there's no one else.
Not one other person was involved in the war.
I feel like maybe, you know...
No, no, it was just all me.
I did everything, plugged all the things.
No.
Oh, my goodness.
Listen, there's a team of huge people
who have been lying to your face for about four weeks.
But what a lie.
I'm, like, sweating.
I'm, like, shaking.
I'm, like, this is... This is... a, this is a, this is a joke.
Also, there's a lot of stuff we can easily lie to you about.
Wow!
Not all that.
Holy sh, holy shit.
No, no.
Oh, wow.
But the thing is, we don't get to watch the movie.
That's, yeah, that's the only downside.
It'll be on Disney Plus and it'll be in theaters, right?
In TN1.
He's still in plug mode.
Here he is.
He loves his free movie tickets and he's not going to lose the opportunity.
Give him a good old plug, Jungle Cruise. It'll be premier access on Disney Plus as well as in theatres as well.
It's great in New Zealand.
We get to go to the movie and watch.
Look, what a consummate professional.
Didn't even know it was coming.
He's still plugging it.
He knows the platforms.
Jungle Cruise.
Jono and Ben over and out.
Wow.
I'm still buzzing about it. It was such a surreal
experience if you want to catch it including
the epic reaction when I realised
what's going on. Head to the Hits Breakfast
on Instagram. You can catch the video there right now
and don't forget Disney's Jungle Cruise
in cinemas today.
Jono and Ben or as they're known in the office
those two.
Jono and Ben. New Zealand's breakfast
on the Hits. A lot of Olympic Games action going on at the moment.
I'm filling in very shortly of the Kiwis who not only won medals yesterday,
but are up for medals again today.
We'll do that in a few moments.
Just it's wonderful viewing, isn't it?
Yeah.
You're just like 900 channels of all these obscure sports,
and my son has just got very enthusiastic.
He also gets very enthusiastic about events.
You know, children do, don't they?
They get swept up.
They jump on that bandwagon.
And he is loving all of the sports.
And so he pitched a great idea actually for the program.
He's like, how about you record me?
I'll describe the sport I'm watching.
And Ben has to figure out what the sport is.
Have we got some Olympic sounding music, Juliet?
I didn't prepare you for this.
So if there's some Olympic sounding music to it.
That's pretty good.
It is beautiful.
Can we get better Olympic sounding?
No, no.
That's perfect.
More Olympic-y.
No, that was perfect.
So I'm going to play this audio.
This is what he was watching last night.
You need to figure out what the sport is, okay?
So this sport is about speed and height. If you have a short person that can jump really
high, you'll need them to be able to think forward and know when to jump up. On the attacking
side, you can hit the ball straight and have the ball stay in midair and doesn't spin,
and then it can wave to the side and look like it's going one side, then go to the other,
and then the players get faked out.
And you'll want to hit it hard, but you can also tap it over.
Oh, I started off and I thought maybe it's basketball or three-on-three basketball they're doing at the moment.
Maybe you can text in 4487.
But then they're tapping it.
Yeah.
Okay, Walters will play a song.
You can have a think.
Yeah, I'll have a think about it.
You have a think listening.
Text in 4487 and we'll reveal
Oscar's Olympic sport
after the ads. These are the real
Olympic Games in New Zealand. Can you
guess what the sport is? To be honest, this is as close
to the Olympic Games as we can get without paying
for the rights. An 11-year-old
describing sports.
Ben and Jono call this show
Jono and Ben. Breakfast on the
Heads. I think he was playing a little
Olympic game before. Yeah, Oscar's
Olympic sports. He's my son.
He came up with this format. This is a completely original
idea and he describes Olympic
sports he's watching. Then you
have to figure out which one it is.
This is the audio from last night.
So this sport is about
speed and height.
If you have a short person that can jump really high,
you'll need them to be able to think forward and know when to jump up.
On the attacking side, you can hit the ball straight
and have the ball stay in midair and doesn't spin,
and then it can wave to the side and look like it's going one side
and then go to the other, and then the players get faked out and
you'll want to hit
it hard but you can also tap it over.
Here we go. And many
texts rolling in. 4487.
Here is the answer.
So, if you're wondering what the sport is
it is volleyball.
Yeah, nice. Why don't you lock in?
I was, well, firstly I thought maybe it's
basketball and then I was like, oh maybe it's badminton
But then he talked about the ball
Very ambiguous
That's the joy of Oscars
I got there for volleyball
It was very good
And here's some more Olympic news right now
I don't know why my button's not working
Don't talk to us about why your button's not working
Let's roll straight into it
We don't need to have a flashy wee intro for this.
No, we do need a flashy.
The show does not go on until we have a flashy wee intro.
Okay, then.
And we sit here in silence.
Let's, I'm just pressing it.
You're making noise.
This is scrolling through your feed.
All right.
Time now for your daily update.
I knew the button would eventually get working.
Yeah, it was definitely not just Juliet doing that with her mouth.
The Rugby Sevens overnight,
Fiji proved too strong for New Zealand.
So New Zealand
in the Sevens, the All Black Sevens, they got a silver medal
which is awesome. I was really
actually quite happy for the Fijians.
Yeah, as much
as I wanted New Zealand to win, it would
have been awesome to see them win gold. It's Fiji
at the moment, the country's going through a heck of a lot with the coronavirus.
So it was actually kind of awesome there.
If you're going to lose to anyone, it was awesome to lose to.
And they're bloody good at sevens, aren't they?
Oh, amazing.
And they celebrated last night.
Here's some audio that we found.
Well, we stole from Newstalk CP.
Over in Fiji where they were celebrating the win.
How cool is this?
That's very cool.
But do you know what the more impressive thing is?
Is Juliet's button still not working and she made that noise,
that re-enable noise, all with her mouth.
What a skill.
Thank you, Ju.
You're welcome.
Fiji have only ever won two Olympic medals over their history
and they've both been in golds and sevens in the last two Olympic Games.
Also yesterday in the rowing, New Zealand got another silver medal,
so congratulations, huge congratulations.
Hannah Osborne and Brooke Donoghue finished second in the women's double skulls yesterday,
and a whole lot more today.
Up for grabs.
I got watching three-on-three basketball last night.
Three-on on three basketball.
Now I'm kind of like, they were really good, don't get me wrong.
They were wonderful basketball players
but I'm like, why aren't you playing
normal basketball?
Do the other two players make you nervous on the
five on five basketball? It's unusual that
it's both the sports.
It'd be like having sevens rugby and
fifteenth side rugby in the whole
Olympic Games.
I'm in the plus side Games. It's like, what is, yeah.
I mean, the plus side of three-on-three basketball,
you can all fit in the same car on the way to the court.
You know, five.
You've just got that inconvenient fifth person
you can't quite transport.
My favourite basketball team in the Olympic Games
is the Australian basketball team
just because they're called the Boomers.
And I just love, I love the fact
that an Australian basketball team is called the Boomers.
They're all sitting on the sideline. They like how do i how do i text my grandson i can't i can't it's too noisy in here
and they're like well there's no crowd here but it's still too noisy over here some of the mutual
they muted the crowd i can't i can't hear a thing i was like well there's no crowd as well so the
boomers is really cool but a huge congratulations to new zealand's now of course we added two silver
medals before to our tally.
But I'm saying, you know how we like to look at it per capita for the Olympics?
Yeah, we do like to break it down, don't we?
Well, there's at least seven players on the sevens team.
And there was a few reserves, I think, got a silver medal.
That's 10 silvers.
That's 10 silvers.
But we chucked that on there.
You have just clocked getting us up the medal tally.
The two rowers yesterday, that's two medals.
Two more silver medals.
So there were at least 12 silver medals yesterday, not two.
The triathlon that Hayden got bronzed in, try, there's three.
You can get a medal for...
Just the name of the sport.
Three more of the...
Oh, we're cracking it.
Let's put the unofficial Jono and Ben Olympic tally up, eh?
Let's bump these numbers up.
That's awesome.
And we'll give you...
All right, time for some celebrity-based espionage.
It's Spy.
So Bob Odenkirk from Better Call Saul
has been rushed to hospital after collapsing on set.
So Better Call Saul is obviously the spinoff from Breaking Bad,
and he's the main character,
and he's famous for playing the attorney?
Attorney?
Yeah, so he was in Breaking Bad, and then he got his own show.
We actually interviewed him.
He was a lovely, lovely guy a couple of years ago. Remember when we got him to bring our boss at the time
to negotiate us extra?
Because he played a lawyer.
Well, give us some extra days off.
That's true.
He was a true gentleman, wasn't he?
But there's no word on why he fell,
whether he was conscious when he was rushed to hospital
or anything like that, but that's all we know so far.
So hopefully he's doing okay.
He's still receiving medical care, though.
And in other news, Kelly Clarkson.
Goodness me.
She's been ordered to pay $200,000 per month
in spousal support for her ex-husband.
So they've recently got divorced.
And part of that divorce means that she has to, basically because he's her ex-husband,
support him financially by giving him $200,000 a month.
And an additional $45,000 per month for child support.
She'll also have to pay all of his legal fees for the divorce,
which amounts to $1.25 million,
which all sounds very expensive.
But then she earns more than $1.5 million per month in income.
So I think she'll be okay.
So how come it's all on hers?
I actually don't know.
But I tell you what I've learned.
It's a great full-time job being Kelly Clarkson's ex-husband.
It's a very well-paid full-time gig.
I know.
I'll marry her and be her ex-husband.
I know.
But I feel like the legal divorces in America,
because we don't have to pay spousal support in New Zealand
if you get a divorce, do you?
I don't know, Ben.
I don't know.
What are you doing, bro?
You're looking after a few family.
Actually, speaking of which, I was just
trying to quickly Google that because I was reading the other day
so Dr. Dre, obviously, you know.
First billionaire rapper.
So he has broken up with his
wife and she is
getting $2 million in monthly
spousal support. Monthly?
$2 million?
Well, this is what she wants.
Here's the breakdown.
She reckons laundry and planning, $10,000 a month.
Clothes, $135,000 a month.
Education, $60,000 a month.
Entertainment, $900,000 a month.
Charitable contributions are in there, $125,000. Very generous contributions as well.
Mortgage.
Mortgage is only $100,000 a month, which is, you know.
Holy.
Compared to what it is, telephone, cell phone.
There's a breakdown of it.
So it'll be interesting to see if that goes through as well.
That's crazy.
Oh, well, no.
Having your $900,000 entertainment budget monthly,
it's a necessity for any human being.
But I guess in some ways.
It's a percentage of probably what he's got.
And that's their life.
They've been accustomed to living in a lot of ways.
So maybe, hey, who are we to judge over here?
You know, if you want to spend $10,000 on laundry and cleaning,
then why not?
I can't actually see any other option to get your laundry done,
apart from paying $10,000 to have someone do it.
What's on your wrist, Juliet?
Me?
Oh, this is the New Zealand team.
This is my little ticket to get me into the cloud
to watch the Olympics every day.
Oh, really?
Because Julia's too tight to pay for Sky, so she goes down to the public.
No, I'm trying to figure out my parents' SkyGo password, but I can't figure it out.
Yeah, you're like, it's great down there.
They've got it all on.
They've got beanbags.
I have a wee sleep.
I stay for a bit.
Can I ask you a question?
Are you living in the communal Olympic viewing area in Auckland City?
Don't share my secrets.
No, no, no.
Is it cool there? It is really cool.
Yeah, it is really cool. Very good atmosphere.
All of the news people are down there with their
cameras. God, I'm like, wow. And you're like, get
out of my house.
I didn't agree to this.
And there's five and more. You can head to the hits.co.nz
New Zealand's breakfast.
This is Jono and Ben
on the hits. Kia ora, good morning.
Just gone seven o'clock. You're with Jono and Ben on the Hits. Kia ora, good morning. Just gone seven o'clock.
You're with Jono and Ben on The Hits.
Just reading before, there's $8 million overdue that's gone to the debt collectors
for people that stayed at MIQ facilities.
Oh, who would have thought?
Really?
$38 million overall, apparently fees unpaid.
$38 million, but $8 million have gone through to the debt collectors being called in.
So it obviously, much like my parking tickets that mount up, the longer they go on, you
know, it sort of goes to the court and it goes to Baycorp.
You know, there's a process.
So these people have obviously stayed and left at an extraordinary amount of time not
to pay their bill.
Yeah, but I guess it's unusual that you don't, like, you stay at a hotel like I did, you
give your credit card details and stuff like that.
How come that doesn't just get sorted out
at the time? I don't know. I'm not
running the... You know who I blame? I blame
Ashley Bloomfield. He should have been across this.
Don't pour it on poor Ashley.
We saw him on Breakfast before and I was like,
mate, he's still battling away, doing great
work for New Zealand. He looks tired, the poor guy.
But he should have been across this.
Oh, what?
It was like, go back to high school.
Jill, when you were at high school.
Yes.
And you do the, IOU?
Honestly, I'll borrow this money for the tax shop.
When did you ever get paid back?
They just did the world's most expensive IOU for everyone in the country.
It's still going.
But I think Boss Toto is about $16 million of that, too.
Yeah, $5,000 up for grabs.
That could be all yours in just over 30 minutes' time.
Five words for 5K on the hits.
You're only five words away from a massive payday.
Our Game of Words Association, we play it every day on the hits.
If you match all five words with the same words that we come up with,
you win $5,000.
It is the game that everyone is talking about.
And by everyone, I mean
the three people in this room right now.
We're all talking about it.
Everyone in this room is talking about it.
And Stacey from Whangarei, you're talking about it too.
That makes four of us, Stacey.
Good morning.
Welcome, lovely to have you on the show.
Stacey, I have a question to ask you.
Do you like free cash?
I love free cash.
Well, then this is the competition for you.
If you like paying for your cash, well, then I'm sorry,
there's nothing we can do for you.
Stacey, big decision.
As a school teacher, you'll be used to making big decisions.
Who are you going to send into the soundproof booth?
I've been there three out of three days this week.
Okay, I'll send Ben then.
Oh, good on you. It was like I've been sent in there out of three days this week. Okay, I'll send Ben then. Oh, good on you.
It was like I've been sent in there
out of pity or something over the last three days.
He makes his way into the capsule
with no air circulation. Stacey,
we're going to try and get five words off you
and we're going to try and match those five words
with Benjamin Ross, boys. Here we go.
Okay.
The first word that comes into your head when I say Scooby.
Oh, what's that drink thing that you make with it?
Scooby, S-C-O-O.
Oh, no, that's Scooby.
You're thinking of Scooby.
Oh.
What the hell is Scooby?
What is Scooby?
I do even Google images.
It's a fermented drink.
No, I'm thinking of something different.
Scoby.
Okay, I'm going to say scooby-doo.
Scooby-doo?
Yeah, I think so.
For those in their cars and not able to witness scoby the drink,
it looks like something that you would pull out of your ears it makes kombucha
basically oh kombucha get out of here with your hippie millennial drinks mate
all right on to the next one word number two mint
mint um breath oh i don't know actually
Can I come back to that one?
Alright, word number three, guitar
String
Guitar, string, nice
Lawyer is the fourth word this morning, Stacey
Lawyer
Court
Oh, court, nice
Two things Ben
Is very aware of,
having gone through the New Zealand justice system before
for pranks gone awry.
Usually he doesn't let me talk about this,
but he's locked in a soundproof booth right now.
But Ben Boyce, I'm working with a criminal, I won't lie.
Gives this show some street cred.
Okay, word number five was pavlova, Stacey.
Oh, I'm thinking cream or eggs.
Cream.
Everyone has cream with a pavlova, don't they?
Yeah, no, that's a lovely addition to the pav.
And we'll just dot back to word number two.
It was mint.
Oh, I think breath.
You have a mint when you need it for your breath,
don't you? Yes, no, you do.
That's valid? You do. There was another one, but I
don't want to put it in your head and confuse you.
No, don't do that. No. Thank you.
Alright, not the time for confusion. The time
now is to let Ben Boyce out of the soundproof booth
to see if he can match those five words with you for
$5,000. How was it
in there, little fella?
My little fella? That's all right.
My little fella.
That's all right, mate.
How was it out here?
Yeah, good.
Do you want to do a radio show, little guy?
I'd love to.
All right.
Jump up to the microphone.
All you need to do is talk straight into it, okay, buddy?
Okay, all right.
All right, we've got Stacey on the phone.
Five words.
Let's see if you can match with them for $5,000.
Here we go.
First word, Scooby.
Scooby.
Two.
How are they feeling up in Whangarei there, Stacey?
Good about that one?
Yeah, good.
I was nervous about that one, but yeah, good.
In the next song, Google Scooby, S-C-O-B-I, Ben.
Do yourself a favour.
Apparently they make drinks out of it.
Oh, it's like a kombucha thing.
Yeah.
You know about it.
He's in touch with the youth.
Oh, look at that kombucha.
Oh, that's about it. He's in touch with the youth. Oh, look at that kombucha. Oh, I have coconut milk in the coffee now, mate.
True, I can't...
Stones, houses, et cetera.
Word number two is mint.
Mint.
Mint.

I went for breath
Mint breath for a man who brushes his teeth nine times a day
Peppermint
We dotted out on word two
Guitar
Strum
String
String Stacey went.
Something you'll be familiar with, Ben.
Lawyer?
Oh, cheap shot.
Court?
Oh, okay.
Another thing you're familiar with.
We had a little chat about it, didn't we, Stacey?
We did.
And the fifth word was pavlova.
Cream?
Not bad.
You can walk away with your head held high, Stace.
I will.
You can't walk away with $5,000, but thank you so much for listening.
You have a great day teaching the youth.
Yeah, thank you, and thank you for letting me play this.
We'll send you out some tickets to the Jungle Cruise
so you can enjoy the new Disney movie at Sin Cinnabas today.
Oh, thank you very much.
New Zealand's breakfast.
This is Jono and Ben.
On the head.
Great hanging out with you guys on a Thursday morning.
Just gone 8 o'clock.
You heard some of the results that happened yesterday in the Olympics.
But if you're interested today, New Zealand's got a really good chance
of claiming the first gold medal today, they think.
Rowers Kerry Gowler and Grace Prendergast,
they set a world record time in their semifinal
in the women's pair of the rowing.
They're taking aim for the gold today, which would be awesome.
Emma Twigg has got her semi-final today, another awesome Kiwi rower.
Black Fern Sevens start their campaign today.
Swimmer Lewis Clairbert yesterday had a great time.
And the golf kicks off today.
Did he have a great time in his race or just a great time in general at the Olympics?
He's had a great time over there.
I actually don't know if he's had a great time. He's probably having a great time in general at the Olympics? He's had a great time over there. I actually don't know if he's had a great time.
He's probably having a great time. You'd think so.
I mean, sure, he probably can't go out as much
as he hoped. But it's the pinnacle of what he does.
I hope he's having a great time. But who knew golf was in the Olympics?
So Ryan Fox, Kiwi, Ryan Fox
tees off today as well. So yeah, golf's
happening at the Olympics.
And after 8.30
we're going to do our loose connection to the Olympics
again. Should we do that again?
That was actually really interesting. Tell you what, if there's a band on a wagon, Jono and Ben will jump on it.
And so we try and get your loose, tenuous connections to the Olympic team after 8.30 this morning.
But next, we were just surfing around the internet yesterday, weren't we, Benjamin Boyce?
And we had a lot of questions popped up around what we're doing on the internet, mainly from HR.
These are things that everyone is doing every day.
You know, you had a good one when you were like,
I've just accepted all the cookies of this website.
What have I just accepted myself for?
You know, what does this mean?
What are cookies?
What's going on?
Are they going to, like, strip all my data?
What's happening?
And if, you know, I'm searching for a better co-host on incognito on Google,
could someone find out what I've been searching, even if I have been on incognito?
Hypothetically.
Well, we're going to put all these interesting questions to do with the internet and security and all that to an expert next.
Martin Cocker from NetSafe with us very shortly.
And we'll ask what's the appropriate age for kids to get on social media too.
Big questions, you want to hear these answers in just a few moments on the hits
every time i hear that wasn't that that documentary where usher who sings that song
hit up t-pain who was sort of known for his auto tunetune work, and he said, you have ruined music with auto-tune.
But then isn't Usher singing with auto-tune there, Juliet?
Yeah, I think he is there.
Well, it started a trend, didn't it?
So many people use auto-tune now.
Yeah.
Now, Ben, you've just been flustered and in a panic.
Ben looked at me and he goes, hold there.
He looked at me and he goes, hold there a second,
literally just walked out of the studio.
So then I was forced to drag Juliet into my weird Usher band.
And Juliet was like, please don't lower me to this.
You know I refuse to talk about that feud.
And then so you walked out and now you've come back in.
I was 100% correct in today's amazing OMG I Want One prize.
And it is one month.
Well, I can keep banging on about Usher and Auto-Tune if you want.
No, I'd rather you didn't. One month's worth of free MyFoodBag, valued at $720.
So if you want MyFoodBag for an entire month, then text OMG to 4487,
and we'll send you back a bounce back.
You'll get in the draw.
And this afternoon, you could be having one month of MyFoodBag
for a whole month for your family.
Great.
My problem is this competition and all the competitions we do here on the hits,
we just give away so many good prizes.
Why don't we just give them to ourselves?
Like, don't.
Why don't we just commit a light bit of prize fraud?
No one's going to know.
We'll go, well done, Barry won the My Food Bag prize.
No one's going to follow up.
But no one's going to follow up.
Who's Barry?
Where is he?
You could be Barry.
Juliet, you could be Barry.
That's a good point.
A publicly listed company, mate.
It'll be investigated.
We can't do it.
We can't do it.
But we could.
You know you're saying we can't, but we can.
Like it's fully achievable.
I enjoyed it more when you talk about Asher's feud.
Want more Jono and Ben?
You can wake up with the boys' weekdays from sex on the hits. And via the iHeartRadio app. Jono and Ben on the hits breakfast. Ash is cute.
