Jono and Ben, new to your mornings. Friends of Skinny, New Zealand's most recommended telco. Happy, happy, happy, oh, oh. Just when you thought you couldn't get enough of Jono and Ben, you can have them anywhere, anytime. Welcome to the Jono and Ben podcast. Hey guys, pleased to be back. J&B here. Thursday the 17th of June 2021 is the podcast.

Now, Ben Boyce, I've had a lot of fun playing the game Shut Your Eyes and Guess What the Noise Is. Oh, that was really fun. I had a lot of fun playing that the other day in our podcast introduction. I don't know if I've got too much more around here. I've got a couple of more things around. Okay. Okay, I'd like you to shut your eyes.

Okay. And I will... Ready? Go. Ooh. Do it again. Tapping something. I don't know. Is it if I told you that was my genitals?

Oh no. It's not. It's not. Shut your eyes again. A pen tapping on something. I don't know. Two TV remotes. Two plastic on plastic. It's not. Shut your eyes again. A pen tapping on something? I don't know. Two TV remotes. Oh, two plastic on plastic.

There you go. Plastic, okay. Here's another one. Is it the same again? Is it two remotes again? Pen on a mouse. Oh, there you go. Pen tapping on a mouse.

It's funny sounds. It's funny how your brain associates noise as soon as you see it, but when you close your eyes. It's like taste, I think, too. There's a lot of that with taste. Yeah, we say on those cooking shows, you eat with your eyes,

and you don't eat with your mouth. It's a stupid thing to say. I've never eaten anything with my eyes. But there is a certain part. I get what they're saying. There's a certain part of what you see, you often will go for. Yeah, a great example of that, people who were locked up and managed

isolation and there was a fad of people redesigning the meals that were delivered to them, which looked a bit shabby and bland when they first arrived. But you had people cutting them up into culinary delights and making it visually look appetising. Yeah. Completely changes your outlook on the meal, doesn't it? It does, you it visually look appetizing. Yeah.

Completely changes your outlook on the meal, doesn't it? You're right. Same food. Yeah. Interesting, the human brain. It is, it is. You get mind screwed into a lot of stuff. Yeah, I always get mind screwed into a discount at a, there's a discount mall down the road from my house.

And I'm pretty sure most of the stuff isn't on discount. Because you're probably not going to check it, are you? No, but you just feel, I'm a discount more. Everything is a bargain. This was this, and now this is it. I'm taking your word for it. I'm buying it. This was $130, now it's $140, and I'm getting a bargain. Hey, we've got a fun show today. We actually

catch up with, it's actually really awesome, a Kiwiator, Vinnie Bennett, and he is playing a young Vin Diesel in the new Fast and Furious movie, which is out right now, Fast and Furious 9, out in cinemas today. And it was awesome actually to talk to him about that whole process because imagine, you know, being a Kiwi, going over there and auditioning for a role and then becoming a young Vin Diesel.

It would be a wild experience. Well, the highlight of him was the snack table, he said, on the movie set. He said just the snacks. You name a snack, it was on this table. You remember we were lucky enough a few years ago to go over to the Fast and Furious, they call them junkets, where they had interviews and that media from all over the world had been flowing in there to interview the cast.

They all had their individual trailers and it was on the car park at Dodgers Stadium where they play baseball. Oh, you looked out over Los Angeles. Yeah, it was just such a big set up. You've got security guards, you've got makeup people, you've got media. A wild amount of cash. You know, and this is getting interviews. Obviously, they had all the stars there.

Vin Diesel was there, Jason Statham was there, The Rock was there. And they're just, you know, they're in their trailers, they come out, they talk to people. And you're like, this is a surreal experience, eh? Yeah. It's such a crazy thing. Vin Diesel was an interesting character. We spoke to Vin Diesel, didn't we? He was fun.

He was so much more fun. We asked him so many character. We spoke to Vin Diesel. He was fun. He was wild. We asked him so many questions. I don't think he answered one of them. He was so much, yeah, like, because you see him on screen and he's great at action. And he's like, we were like, oh, we're a bit, you know, a bit silly. Is it going to be, is he going to, you know, pick up on our sort of vibe? But he was like, oh, because I was calling you Vin Weasel. He's like, oh, man, no one wants that, you know.

Like, he was like, he's not happy about that either. You know, like he was like, he's not happy about that either, you know, like yeah. Then I find he would just start maniacally laughing, at odd times too. Yeah. I enjoyed Vin Diesel, he was fun.

He was so much more fun. Like if you'd be talking about something seriously, you'd be like, oh man. Yeah. Man. I think it was, we were quite a nice comic release for him,

because we'd been asked some sort of serious questions throughout the day, so yeah, I was actually, it was a lot of fun. We had the bill for all the explosions and all that stuff. We were like, hey, mate, we've tallied it up. We've got to pay this. He was enjoying it, so it was good. He's a very

deep voice, Vin Diesel. A lot of the time during Fast and Furious, I'm like, I don't know what he's saying. That's just subtitled Vin Diesel. He might lose his life a quarter mile at a time. But yeah, Vinnie Bennett, the Kiwi actor, is a young Vin Diesel. And you can hear him. When you hear him on the podcast, you can hear he's got an awesome deep voice as well.

He does, yeah. He looks like he's swallowed puberty five times. Yeah. Don't need to do it like that. A quarter kilometer at a time would have to be for a New Zealand audience. You're like, what's a mile? I can never do the translation. And kilograms and pounds.

Oh, yeah. That always throws me. Yeah. Anyway, listen, you have a great day. Thank you for listening to the podcast. God bless. Now, there's noises that happen in your household. Some of them can't be heard.

We've all experienced that. Noises. We've all heard them. Relatable. Yeah. You hear them every day, noises. Yeah. There's probably some noises maybe coming through the microphone right now

that you'd prefer not to hear. Yeah, but we're going to focus more on household noises because producer Bee Humps, you reckon you've got the most annoying noise that happens in your household. Is it the sound of a crying newborn? No. This noise just pierces through the house and it doesn't stop until you action it.

And you know, like, some noises you hear and you go, I can avoid that and someone else might fix the problem. That's what you hope with noises. Is there someone else will sort the problem, whether it's a mechanical thing in the car or an annoying noise in the middle of the night. And the thing is, I know that this noise is happening. No matter what corner of the house I'm in,

I know this noise is happening. And so I know my partner knows it's happening too if if she's in the house and so it's one of those standoffs of who's gonna fix the issue yeah and it just grind like what is it it's the washing machine oh is this it so at the end of a cycle it does that that beeping oh just so you know it's done to let you know it's done for how long and it won't stop until you unload

the washing machine really oh no it's demanding eh and I get it that you know like it's helpful in the sense that you're not going to

leave your washing in there to go smelly oh yeah if you go over that 60 minute period it starts to smell doesn't it oh mate I'm I weigh over that

usually but just put it on again you know I'd happily rather than get it on just push recycle. That water message brought to you by Phil Goff and the Auckland Council. Just put it on again.

Put it on again. You know. I'm with you. And yeah, so that like, just hearing that puts a shudder down my spine. I can see you. You've got a physical reaction from it. Have you got annoying noises in your household? Yeah, well I've got a couple that, I mean,

we love our animals dearly, but as I talked about before, there's a couple. So there's a dog, a dog, Bo, in the middle of the night, same as you, Ben. No one else will hear the noise of him going, he just basically stands in the room going, because he's a polite bark, he wants to be let outside. So he makes that little, is that his whisper?

It's like, hey, hey, mate. And I know everyone else can hear him, but I'm the only one that gets up for him. Anyway. I need to go for a pee. Oh, oh, hey, mate. It's like a hey. And then I can't record that one because it's the middle of the night. I want to put light dogs on.

And then the cat yesterday, the cat light clock, about two hours before it needs to be fed, from about three o'clock, because we try and feed it at five, three o'clock it just starts just hanging around making this noise. Like, not stop. There's no breaks. There's not meetings together. That's just like continually for two hours.

Relentless. You know, but from the cat's point of view, just in defence of the cat, the cat's like, well, I'd love to be able to do this myself. I'd love to be able to open a can of chef, but unfortunately my paws don't allow me to hold a can opener. Wait, I'm here.

Hey, here. Look, look. You got me. It's your responsibility. And I do, but I was like, you know, five o'clock is when we do it. Otherwise you'll want to get fed. It throws the system out. The cat's had a hard day of building up an appetite of walking around like he's hating life. It builds a hunger.

Yeah, it's a real hunger. What's the most annoying noise in your household? We'd love to hear from you. I know a hundred of that. If my family's listening, no. You can't phone up and nominate me. Out of the question. And if anyone else is listening, think they're going to do some lowbrow comedy,

you can't phone up and nominate your mother-in-law when she comes to stay. No. Neither, okay? Those are two no-nos. Lots of noises, Bug. Yeah, our fridge at home. Yours probably does the same thing. When you leave the door open, it starts No. Neither, okay? Those are two no-nos. Lots of noises, Bug. Yeah, our fridge at home. Yours probably does the same thing. When you leave the door open, it starts beeping.

Oh, my God. Your fridge. You're constantly being told off by appliances at the moment, aren't you? And this is what happens at home. And my daughter, Indy, for many years, we thought, well, I don't know why we told her the fridge was going to explode if we didn't shut the door.

And she would panic every time. Oh, you did it as a joke. Yeah, and you should watch her panic. She's like an action hero running to shut the fridge when that happens. But now we know. So when you tell children things as a joke when they're young, they actually tell...

I remember my uncle, like it was yesterday, telling me that he had a lion in his shed when I was seven years old. And I believed that until I was 32. He had to sit me down and he's like, you know, there's no line in there. And it was devastating. And Uncle Joe Exotic?

And you're like, all right, mate. Joe Exotic. Tracy, you're on from Christchurch. Morning. How are you? Morning. I'm good. All right.

The annoying noise in your whare. So this was actually at an old rental I used to have. And every single time any form of water was turned on, the pipes would screech. So it's like the whole house was just screeching, and there was quite a lot of living in it. So if you were a morning person, your life kind of starts with showers. You never want screeching pipes, whether it's in your house or in your body.

My pipes have been screeching inside of me for years. Because it's like, it's like they're tortured. Their souls have been captured by Satan or something. Hey, Tracy, thank you very much. Appreciate that. We have one at our house. And it's not your traditional noise

made by a malfunctioning anything. It is just this television program that the kids are relentlessly watching on loop i don't know how many seasons of the show there are hey jesse and this theme song and this thing is just playing like because obviously watch an episode yeah then the theme song plays again and then it plays at the end of the episode and obviously they watch an episode, then the theme song plays again, and then it plays at the end of the episode, and then they watch another episode. I would hear Hey Jessie at least 12 to 15 times a day.

And it is slowly wearing me down. We'll get Olivia on from Tauranga. How are you, Olivia? Hi. All right, what's the annoying noise in your house? Oh, the smoke alarm needs the batteries changed, and it just gives off this quiet beep and my partner just will not change it.

That little beep. And it goes off at five minute intervals, doesn't it? But the intervals, they become inconsistent. Sometimes you'll have a beep and there won't be 12 hours to another beep. But in the middle of the night all of a sudden, they sort of span out their beeping times.

That's very good, Olivia. We'll get to Dargaville richard welcome to new zealand's breakfast yeah good day my hair guy yeah buddy good richard if i was talking to a guy from dargaville this is what i want him to sound like it's a morning it's a morning it is the annoying noise in your house rich the most annoying noise in my house and anywhere i I go, if I ever hear it, is I don't know who the singer is, and it starts like this. I used to call my mum every Sunday. It's a day that my love wasn't far away. I don't think we need to hear the original. Every time I hear it, the phone has to go, the radio has to go off.

I don't know. Can we go, what is this song? Oh, is it the TV Lovato rap, which used to be Hubster's thing? Yeah, that sounds familiar. Yeah, I don't know who told her she could sing. She shouldn't have started. Well, Barney the Dinosaur told her she could sing back when she started. Barney the Dinosaur, she's a great singer.

Obviously not a big fan in Dagobah, okay. Not a big fan. I think the dinosaur should have eaten her. Oh, jeez. All right, guys. He's wrapping it up. I've said my piece. We're wrapping it up. the dinosaur should have eaten her. Oh, jeez. All right, guys. All right, Richard. He's wrapping it up. I've said my piece.

We're wrapping it up. We'll get that song on for you before 8 o'clock. That was amazing. Thank you, Richard. Really appreciate it. Broadcasting live. And mostly awake. Jono and Ben.

New Zealand's breakfast. On the hits. What I love about technology is, you know, some of it's fantastic, don't get me wrong, but some of it still needs a little bit of R&D, still required. Right. And I feel like that about the talk-to-text function on a lot of our mobile phones. You like using this one, don't you? I do.

Take a risk with it. I do take a risk because the talk-to-text function. It's almost fully reliable. It's like Wikipedia, you know, almost correct information. But whenever I speak to it, it sort of 80% lands correctly. And you've probably been the victim of some of my talk-to-texts. Yeah, I feel like I have to decipher some sort of code, like it's, you know, Langdon in the Da Vinci Code book, you know. I'm like, what's he trying to say here?

Maybe it's, oh, yeah. You try and work it out. It's a fun little game. You get to it at the end, don't you? But listen, like I would text Jennifer, I've got to go to the supermarket on the way home. It'll sort of come out and go, I'm off to do gymnastics with dolphins

in the Vaseline factory or something. It's unusual. And a lot of it, I think, it's a great reminder and it shines a light on how misinterpreted the New Zealand accent is to other countries. We think it's the most boring, bland accent, but people really have a hard time understanding us. Yeah, they've really got to listen, don't they? You get called bin in America.

I know, every time I go, and then I'll go, bin. And they'll go, oh, bin. You know, they really emphasise the bin. Yeah. I'm like, oh oh it's just Ben it's Ben so he just calls them and says we've got a coffee at Starbucks and they're like Ben

and you're like well from their point of view a little bit of responsibility like what idiot parents would call their son Ben little Ben little Ben boys they take some of the blame here they can't just be running an autopilot the whole time.

I like bin. So I'd like to relay a text conversation with my wife, Jennifer, yesterday as I was driving home from where we were at the mall, Ben. Right. Okay, so first text I sent to her. Hey, babe, how are you going today? This is what my voice said to the phone. Hey, Gabe, how tall is Hugh today?

She then texts back. What? I then say to the phone, ha, ha, ha, sorry, I'm trying to do text to talk. It then goes, ha, ha, ha, seriously, I'm trying to dick chalk. She then replies, I don't get it. I said, ha ha ha, lol. What were you keen on for dinner tonight? This then ends up as, ha ha ha, lollies.

What were your teens for tennis tonight? Teens for tennis. Sounds like a great thing the Tennis Association started up. We need more teens to play tennis. Jono's passionate about it. And the test comms dropped off after that. She wasn't engaging after that. She's like, I'm married to a lunatic.

And after the show today, we're going to go do dick chalk, whatever that is. We've got five words for $5,000. We'll see how Gabe is. How tall is Hugh today? Hugh's growing up. He'll grow up fast. He'll be here. He played team tennis before we know it.

And that's the hits. You've got Jono in bed.'ll be here. He played team tennis before we know it. It is the hits. You've got Jono in bed. To everyone pulling a sickie today, you're not fooling anyone. Jono and Ben, breakfast on the hits. This new Fast and Furious movie, Fast and Furious 9, in cinemas today. Very exciting. And even more exciting is the fact that a Kiwi star is in it. Vinnie Bennett, nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you as well. Nice to meet you. It's so awesome to see it. We were lucky enough to see it yesterday. It's really lots of fun. And it's awesome to see you on the big screen. It was so cool. Yeah, it was really exciting. It was awesome. I had all my

friends and family that have all come up from Christchurch. It was really special. So they were at the premiere last night? They were at the premiere last night. Is it awkward watching yourself on a giant cinematic screen with all your friends and whanau around? Yes, yes, very much so.

You know, I'm not really, I always get a bit of anxiety watching myself, you know, if it's anywhere, you know. But yeah, on that scale, it was, it was. There's too much Vinny on that screen. There's a lot, there's a lot of face up there. Well, it's such an amazing franchise to be part of. And you play a young Vin Diesel.

Correct. So that's a pretty awesome role. Now, how did this all come about? Like, how'd the whole process work? I mean, it was kind of just, you know, just the standard kind of my agency, me and Audition. And they were different, you know, the scripts that I got, they had kind of changed it around

so they wouldn't give away any kind of... Oh, so you didn't know exactly you were going to be auditioning for a young Vin Diesel? No, not at all. The name, the character name was Derek. No, that's not as cool, is it? No, not at all.

Derek Diesel? Yeah, yeah. Sounds like a mechanic from Huntley. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, so there's minimal details. Did you slowly sort of piece it together? Because I imagine you would have to do a few auditions. Yeah, by the time the second one, the callback came around,

they asked that I call the casting director and she would kind of fill me in on the role. And so that's when she said that it was for the younger Dom Toretto and that they would be going into the past a bit to help explain this. Why he is the way he is. So you got the role, which would have been just an amazing feeling, I can imagine. It's such a cool call to get.

And then what happens then? Do you get to meet Bindis? No. Or do you have to watch those movies you're watching? I watched, you know, by the time just before the third audition um you know did a big binge of all of the of all of the films even watch the pacifier as well it's kind of a good movie yeah um but no i i honestly assume that vin would kind of call me up straight away uh as soon as I got it and be like

I need you to come here and just watch me watch me do everything yeah watch me cook soak up the diesel no there was nothing I didn't I didn't hear from anyone for a while

and I wasn't too sure I still had the job to run was this a prank? yeah I had the script and I wasn't too sure I still had the job to run I was really like what was this a prank yeah I had the script and I was like

okay ready to go do you want me to film this on my phone and send it to you yeah I'll do my bits myself and yeah we can just chop it in

so did you ever meet Vindy I did I met him I met him on my very last day he was driving through the lot

in his little you know those golf carts oh yeah at this point i was like you know i heard whispers of him you know being around set and he was like this mythical being um yeah like is he is it is he even in this yeah is he a real person um but yeah sure enough i see this you know this golf cart kind of cruise on past the trailer and i'm like oh that's him that's him and he's not cgi no he's not he's he's a real man and um and yeah he's

sitting there in this little buggy and i'm like oh give him a little wave he's like hey come over here come over here i'll say wave you over to the golf cart he waited yeah he waved us both over and kind of humbly went for it. Hey man, hey, thank you so much for the opportunity and everything. And he's like,

yeah, I heard a lot about you. Oh, thank you, man. I appreciate that. And he goes, he had his two little daughters

with him. Very cute. And he's like, you want to hear them, want to hear them sing a song? Yeah. It'd be rude if I said no. Shit yeah.

Sorry. Yeah and so his daughter's sung a little song. What a surreal moment. It was adorable. Were they any good at singing? Yeah. No, they were great.

They were great. Oh, that's awesome. Because it is such an amazing franchise. The new movie's so much fun. There's so much action and it's all going on. I mean, is it crazy just even behind the scenes to experience that? Yeah, it is. It's different over there.

But, I mean, in a way, it's kind of the same. The only main difference I don't notice was that the snack tables, you know. Oh, my God. The snacks. In the States, they just have everything. Snack tables. Towers of donuts. And yeah, just everything.

Gatorade and all the treats. All the healthy snacks. So New Zealand day, you should see, you're on the shed of a Hollywood blockbuster, but the snack table. All the exposures, all the car checks, they were good, but the snacks were amazing. Now, I loved the film yesterday, and I honestly thought your acting was some of the best in the entire movie. I was like, this is really intense acting. And it's an all-star cast, too. I mean, you've got Dave Helen Mirren, you've got Vin Diesel, you've got John Cena,

there's even Cardi B's in the movie. Yeah, Cardi B, Kurt Russell in there as well. Yeah, I know, yeah. Some big guns. So, yeah, well done on that. I do have one bugbear with the film, though. Yes. And that is, you know, they're taking on, you know,

a highly trained group of military people. Yes. But all the baddies are a shocking aim. They're firing off rounds. Not one of them hits. I know. You'd think they'd been through some sort of training program. No, that's, yeah, that's, I think you hear, you know,

Tyrese mention a few times in the film. He's like, have we been invincible? Why do they keep missing us? Hey, well, congrats on all your success, mate. We're really proud of you. And are you based in America, are you? Well, I was. And then, you know, obviously COVID happened

and I've been back here in New Zealand for about a year. But no, I'll be going back. I'll be making my return this afternoon to LA for the LA premiere which is on Friday. Oh, because everything's all opened up now. Yeah, that's right. You can have a premiere. Yes. This will be like one of the first premieres

over there. Yeah, in a long, long time. That's exciting. It's very exciting. Maybe Vin will get his daughters to sing for you. Maybe, yeah. Maybe a rap this time. It's awesome it's honestly we're so proud to see you in this movie you were awesome and i go see it's in cinemas today fast and furious 9 we apologize in advance sorry about that sorry about that i'm

sorry to rope you into this sorry you've been dragged into this breakfast on the heads morning now our mom in america has claimed a 10 10-month-old baby purchased an upgrade for her Tesla. So they have a Tesla. And obviously, which is amazing technology. Obviously, you can get upgrades for your car through your phone. Well, like on an app. On an app. What sort of upgrades can you get?

Well, she has got one. For $9.99 a month, like an OnlyFans account, you can see you want to see all of your Tesla. So she's claimed the 10-month-old. She gave the phone to the 10-month-old and must have pressed a couple of buttons, as they do. And she claimed that the 10-month-old purchased the full self-driving package through the Tesla app and it cost about $10,000.

10? This seems like Elon Musk. This is a huge flaw in your setup. I mean, it's a great idea that you can order upgrades To your car just via an app So what, Tesla then go, oh this person wants the drive And they just put it into the It just happens

The lady said they were debating Whether they were going to get this for the car Well the child made the choice for them She's like, you guys, you don't need to be behind the wheel It's 2021 Self drive $10-drive do the work for you ten thousand dollars is a lot for a kid to cost can she undo the purchase no because she waited more than 48 hours apparently there's a 48 hour window to go back and say oh actually i still want to keep driving myself yeah so she can't do that so that's what's happened gee elon Elon Musk has done some wild stuff to the motoring industry.

We saw a Tesla once and you can push a function on it where the car essentially starts dancing. At this party mode and the doors go up and down. The doors start waving up and down. The bonnet's like the car is dancing. How many times I can't even remember how many times

I've been driving down the road and I'm like Jesus I wish this car would start dancing. Most of the, I've been driving down the road and I'm like, Jesus, I wish this car would start dancing. Most of the times I've been on Magic Mushrooms, but regardless, I've thought of it. Let's start the party car. It's quite cool. How many millions has he invested in making a car dance? I know.

And why? I know, but I loved it. I loved it. There were so many things he could do. But we thought because this 10-month-old cost her parents $10,000, we thought when has a kid, your child, accidentally cost you some money? Yeah, Poppy, my daughter, and I'm sure many parents share the same fate, is app purchases.

Oh, yes, yeah. And all of a sudden I'm paying $12.99 a month to keep some unicorn alive. And then it's like, I haven't been fed in three days. Unicorn needs her glitter bolognese. And then I'm like, I feel like I can't let you die. That would be horrible of me. I've got to keep

this unicorn alive. Unicorn glittery blood on your hands, do you? Exactly. So I've now got three children uh two humans and a unicorn that eats glitter bolognese but yeah so that was i think in total before uh i was like the madness needs to win i need to uh i need to put this unicorn down i need to david seymour this unicorn end of life bill i think i'd spend maybe 120 dollars on it jeez how much have your kids cost you?

So they're niggly, don't you? You've got to feed them and clothe them and stuff. Are we adding up over a total? No, we're talking about accidental things. We've broken something in a shop, one of the kids has done that before, and that's a humbling experience having to go up there and go, hey. Do you have to pay for it? Well, I did offer to.

On this occasion, we didn't have to, which I thought was really nice, but it was one of those things you're like, oh, I'm going to buy this thing. It's now broken. So it was really cool that they actually said no. You didn't have to pay for it. We were over on holiday over New Year's in the Coromandel, and the kids were like, I want to go in to this blown glass shop, you know, with all blown glass ornaments.

That's a shop you shouldn't take kids into. I'm sure it's a wonderful shop. It's a bull in a china shop situation. So don't touch anything. I took them in, and you could tell the guy behind the counter was so pensive. He was looking at me. I could feel his eyes burning into

me as the kids are like, look it's a glass dolphin and they were holding up and I was like this is going to end very badly. Let's go to Amanda in Rotorua. Welcome Amanda, how are you? Hi, good thanks Gary. It's good to have your New Zealand's breakfast. Your kids, they've cost you? Well, it's more like a slightly older kid.

She's 17 and she's cost me a gym membership. Oh, how come? She paid for it using my credit card. She keeps losing hers because she's a hopeless teenager. But she took my debit card and said, no, no, I'll swap it over, I'll swap it over. And that was a year ago, and she's been twice. You know, if there wasn't the bloodline there or the genes that you were sharing, that would

be fraud, you know? Yeah, you're right. I really should report her. Yeah, yeah. Teach her a lesson. That's great. It's kind of not accidental, it's more on purpose. Hey, well, that's great.

Amanda, love it. How much does it cost you over the year, you think? Oh, shit. I don't know. I'm just trying to work it out in my head now. I don't know if it's $10 or $14 a week or something. Oh, that adds up. That adds up.

It's added up. Thousands. And I'd like to apologise. That's the first S-bomb we've ever had on this show. We pride ourselves on being a clean-cut programme. Not once would you hear blasphemy like that. We're changed men now, rebranded. And Amanda, I don't know what went on there, so I'm sorry.

Amanda, hold the line. We want to send you out something, all right? Okay, cool. Love your work. Thank you for listening. We'll go to Kevin in Tauranga. Your kids, what'd they cost you, Kev? Hey, mate.

Well, my son, he's now 18, but when he was about three, he was on my laptop, and he nearly cost me 7k because he decided he wanted to buy the family a Ford. Oh, he bid for a car on track. Did he know what he was doing or was it an accidental click of the button? Oh no, he bid quite a few times, but luckily for us he was out for the last minute. Oh, he was in there. So he would gradually increase the price that he was willing to pay? He did, yeah. It was a no reserve, and he got up to 7K, then I called him up to do something,

and, yeah, luckily he was out for 7,000. And you realised this after the fact? Yes. Oh, my God. That's nearly 10 grand. Yeah. That's amazing. You have a great day, mate.

Really appreciate it. We'll get Lisa on from Auckland. Lisa, your children. Yeah. That's amazing. You have a great day, mate. Really appreciate it. We'll get Lisa on from Auckland. Lisa, your children. Hi, so we were in Smith and Coie and the kids were fighting and one pushed the other and they went into a shelf of crystal glasses and cost me 800 bucks. Oh, dear

God. Crystal glasses. Why the crystal ones as well? Why not the plastic cups or something? I know, and the whole shelf. Oh, jeez. Thank you so much, Lisa. Now, again, did you have to pay on the spot? Yes.

I imagine Smith and or Coey, he would have made you swipe your card. Yes, I did. Some lovely crystal glasses that you'll never get to use, but they're all over the floor. Hey, thank you very much for your calls. Really appreciate it, people. New Zealand's breakfast.

This is Jono and Ben on the hits. Kia ora, good morning. Welcome along to the show. Thursday morning. Jono and Ben with you. Six o'clock. Man, we're all grown fast, isn't it? Hello, producer Juliet.

Hello. Hello, radio host Benjamin Bush. Hello. Oh, sorry. You're very good at getting in the hellos, aren't you? I do like to say, even though we've said hello off here. It feels like we've done our hellos, but you're right. We're doing them formally right now. Oh, sorry. You're very good at getting in the hellos, aren't you? Even though we've said hello off here. It feels like we've done our hellos, but you're right. We're doing them formally right now.

Yeah, formally. It's funny that we do two greetings, isn't it? Yeah, I was moving past that, but you like to go back and do this. Go back and re- I was talking about the day moving fast. How was your day yesterday, Juliet? It was great. Great.

Juliet's moving this weekend. Yes, she is. Yeah, so a lot of packing up, a lot of boxes, a lot of admin. You said first time you've actually properly moved from one house to another. Properly. Yeah, properly with like the big... What does that mean, just left your stuff in the last place? She didn't actually just burn down the last house, moved on.

Like sorting all the things like the fridge and the washing machine and all of that. Because the previous time that was all sorted. I was just the extra that moved in. Now you're moving in with three others yes are you the I imagine you're the organised one

is that fair to say yes are you getting the fridge and the dryer and the thing it's actually me and another happens to be a producer

of another radio show we're just like hashtag producers organised just get it done yeah but it's good so Saturday you're moving in

Saturday now we have a show agreement that none of us offer to help someone move yes no I don't know it's my agreement in life you're moving in? Saturday. Now we have a show agreement that none of us offer to help someone move. Yes, no, I don't know. It's my agreement in life. You don't. And I don't expect you to help me and you don't expect anything from me. And that's fine.

Fair enough. As far as moving goes. I'll pick you up from the airport if you need me. No, because you know there's Ubers now. I'm like, why? Even with parents and stuff, I'm like, Mum, it's an Uber. It's easy. I'll pay for it if you need to, but it's so much easier.

Yeah, no, that's an Uber. It's easy. I'll pay for it if you need to, but it's so much easier. Yeah, no, that's the show arrangement. No airport pickups, no helping moving, no presents on birthdays. That's a good one, too. I love these rules. They're so good. It doesn't mean we don't like each other and we're a show family, but it's just, you know. You don't feel obliged to do it.

As soon as someone breaks that, too, someone says, happy birthday, brings a present, you're like, oh, you did it. No, because we did it with coffee. We're in a weird routine with coffee. We all alternate days shouting coffee, which is absolutely fine, but we don't want to do this with presents or airport drop-offs or house moves.

No, fair enough. We got a really big show for you today. 7.45, as usual. Five words. $5,000. That is back again. Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime. Just search Jono and Ben on Facebook. It's a message my mum always texts me

probably about three times a week about the green light. Wait for the green light because we've spoken how I might cheekily run ambers or reds early in the morning. I don't do it anymore. Mother's guilt has been put on. Good, good. She's like, you think of your mother

when you're driving through those intersections. You're very impatient on the road, aren't you? You don't like sitting still. Tell you what. We went for a hot date yesterday, Ben and me. We went to the movies, didn't we? We went and saw a movie. Was it a hot date or was I misreading the situation?

No, it was a pretty hot date. The temperature was hot. You didn't drop me home situation? No, it was a pretty hot date. The temperature was hot. You didn't drop me home afterwards. No, I didn't actually. But we went to watch a movie and the movie is a cosy setting. Isn't it? Well, particularly this movie theatre was awesome. It had really comfortable chairs.

It's one of those ones that was like... Was it quite new? Yeah, a real new one. And it was called The Library. You guys were watching it in the library room and it was like all the um nice brown armchairs and and all these sort of books on the wall it was awesome yeah well yeah so yeah so the movie started did you did you notice that i there wasn't the content of the movie the movie was fantastic did you notice that i might have dozed off oh yeah no definitely i was i was sitting in my head it

was a countdown to like uh it'll be you'll a sleep scene because you get up at 3 40 in the morning you get up early as it is but you get up earlier than anyone else on this radio show i think anyone else that does radio you're like we like to get up at 3 40 as i would know you do you go for a run first thing but it's a good thing to spread around the industry isn't it so yeah see i'm taking the hit for the whole team yeah everyone assumes the whole team's up at 340 I've got the leap on I'm like clockwork in the morning I'm like the latest

time I can get up to get hit by five 100% that's where I do it the other shows are talking about this 340 well you're talking about it

Hosking I bumped into Mike Hosking the other days I hear you get up at 340 and he's like I get up at 230 now you're going to

have to get up earlier than Hosking I get up at 22730. Oh. Now you're going to have to get up earlier than Hosking. I get up at 2.27, Hosking. We have talked about this with Jono that, you know, like I noticed that when his mouth stops moving, he often would drift off to sleep. So as soon as he stops talking for at least 10 minutes, whether on a plane or you stay at the movies,

I'm like, he's going to fall asleep. He's going to have a wee nap. I did. And I wake up in a pool of dribble. There was a lot of dribble. They should have had lifeguard with how much dribble was in their pool Afterwards But that was our hot date

We went on it I fell asleep in 10 minutes And Ben didn't drop me a hope No Two dads just trying to fill some air time Some might say it's pointless But the main thing is It fills in some air time for us

That is the main thing Now this week is Men's Health Week, and one of the ambassadors is Mark Sainsbury, who's the most iconic moustache in New Zealand, right? Oh yes, he's just walking in now, and he's been out there for an hour and a half with a team of professional moustache manicurists who have been maintaining his moustache,

and it looks in fine form as he walks through the door. You'll know Mark Sainsbury from hosting Seven Sharp before Hilary and Jeremy Wells. Great to see you, Mark Sainsbury from hosting Seven Sharp before Hillary and Jeremy Wells. Great to see you, Mark Sainsbury. How's it going? Hey, good to be here. You guys? Nice to see you.

Now, you're doing something really cool this week. It's Men's Health Week this week. Yeah, look, this is a campaign I sort of, a friend of mine asked me to help out with once and now we run it. And it's every year, just for a week, we're not asking for money. All we want is people's attention. Well, you should be asking for money, mate. I know you guys have got

so much. Do you want some money? I gave my wallet out. So what we're trying to do, because we're slack, the big problem is men are slack. When it comes to our health, women look after themselves. And the big thing this year with men's health, each year it might be stress, mental health

or diabetes or something. This year we're saying just get to a doctor haven't been to a doctor in a while you might think you don't need to go just go and it sets a benchmark because if you go this year and you don't go for another three years at least they can say your um your cholesterol's gone crazy since last time so that's why it's important to go at least once so you can go to a doctor and get kind of like a warrant of fitness or something. Is that kind of what you're hoping people will do? Yeah, I mean, because people can have this thing. It's a bit like the dentist.

If I go, it's going to mean pain. They're going to find something. Yeah, they'll find something wrong. So people don't go. Whereas every three hours, a man in this country dies of a preventable disease. It can all be fixed. Pretty much do everything. And you can get on to it early enough, I guess, is the message.

Do you go to the doctor, Ralph? Yeah, the message. Do you go to the doctor, Ralph? Yeah, I do. Do you go to the doctor? Well, I used to go. See, I've still got my bus driver's licence from years ago. Did you drive a bus? I drove a bus. What, like a public bus?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. The big reds in Wellington, yeah. Did you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was great. And the electric ones were really cool. And I also worked at Wattie's. So I had special vehicle wheels and rollers.

You know, all those sort of weird things in your licence. So I used to get a medical every year to keep that going. And things creep up, and for guys, as you get older, it's more critical. Because if you're 30, you're thinking, why do I need to go and see a doctor? And there isn't probably a great reason, but you need to have a relationship with someone, especially for mental health stuff, you need someone you can go and talk to.

And look, every stat in this country when it comes to, you know, you look at diabetes, you look at melanoma, you look at cardiovascular, guys are worse off. Because we don't take it seriously enough. Oh, that's good. So you think, is it starting to change a little bit now? You think the message is getting through? A little bit.

We have this thing now. We've got a website, menshealthweek.co.nz. And on that, we've got a thing called Watch Your Score. And you can work out where roughly you sit. I mean, it's not perfect. Yeah. But it can give you, oh, and it might say, look, you may need to work a bit in these areas or go and do this. It's just a reminder,

oh, maybe I should go and make an appointment with a doctor. You know, Amanda Gillies is one of our ambassadors. She's just fantastic. Yeah. But she's saying it's down to women as well. Women quite often are the ones who make us go to the doctor. I was about to say that. Oh, Jono, you're looking a bit peaky.

Get on the way, Jono. We doubt what you're being a burden on the rest of the day. Oh, it's really good. And there's a lot of responsibility on other family members too because I know my father and even Jen, my wife's father, are very reluctant to go to the doctor. Even when things are bad, they almost have to get dragged

through the sliding doors. There's a bit of that stoicism. So we've got to start looking at it. Don't be so staunch. And by getting onto things early, you prevent a lot of things. See, prostate. We all hear a lot about prostate.

Most people die with prostate. They've got prostate cancer. Not of it. They don't die of it. They die with it. Yeah. Oh, really? So it can. They don't die of it. They die with it. Yeah. Oh, really? So it can be a low-level thing that can be there most of your life.

But as long as you're on top of it, you've got to watch out that these things don't suddenly become something more serious, you know? Just go and do it. And see, especially with guys like you getting in behind it, that makes a big difference. But people think, oh, well, if John and Ben would do it, I suppose it's not that. I suppose they do it. And what you did, was it last year,

you and Jeremy Wells went on Seven Sharp and got prostate jabs? With Dr. Tom Mulholland. On TV, yes. Which I thought was an awesome thing to show that you can do it. Look, it's stunty,

but that's what you've got to do. And if one person watched that and thought, oh, well, if they do it, we can do it. Have you had one done? I have, yeah. DRE?

Yeah, you sort of, you lie on your side, don't you? And they sort of just lift one up and you're like, oh, there, yeah. DRE? Yeah, you sort of, you lie on your side, don't you? Yeah, yeah. And they sort of just lift one up and you're like, oh, there we go. There we go. Yeah. It's actually not bad at all.

But it's, again, it's that bloat thing. Somehow it's intruding on our masculinity. No, it's going to keep us alive, mate. Yeah, yeah. Oh, it's awesome that you're doing it. And finally, moustache health. I mean, do you do a week for that or is Movember kind of taking that? Well, I think there should be.

I think there should be. When was the last time you had a clean shave and top lip? 1978. Wow. Really? And so a soup would be a nightmare for you. Oh, you know, you've got to watch all this stuff. You just get used to it, you know.

It's kind of your thing, though, isn't it, now, you know? Well, it is funny that, yeah. I remember when I said I shaved it off, I shaved it off and my girlfriend just said, grow it back. Oh, really? Really? Yeah, so I it off and my girlfriend just said, grow it back. Oh, really? Yes, I just grew it back. And that's when it...

I thought, well, you don't need to be told once, don't you? Well, it's a wonderful massage and you're a wonderful man, Mark. Hey, well, you guys are fantastic. Hey, thanks so much for letting us in and... Oh, that's awesome what you're doing. So the website again to people going... It's menshealthweek.co.nz and we're not harvesting your data or anything nasty like that,

but just go and see a doctor. That's awesome. Good on you. Now you need to get off. Sainsbury's held off Radio Rima, the Christian station for this interview. This message has got to get through everyone, guys. We'll go spread the good word.

God even needs a prostate check. Thank you, mate. Experts in semi-accurate, half-remembered information. Vaguely known information, but maybe not correct New Zealand's breakfast on the hits

tell us where you're from or a place or tell us a place in New Zealand, a town or a city without actually saying the name of the place. Yeah, so we could play this game now just as an example I'll play with Ben and Juliet I could get verbally or physically abused

on Courtney Place walking home from dinner. Okay, well, yeah. You said Courtney Place in Wellington, yeah. Well done, correct. Probably married to my cousin, but not entirely sure. That could be any small town. I'm from Marsden, so I can.

Bang, it was Marsden. I can say things like that, because it's all right. It's like you can hassle your own mum, but no one else can hassle can. Bang, it was Masterton. I can say things like that because it's all right. It's like you can hassle your own mum, but no one else can hassle you. Yeah, that's the rules. Where the fun never ends. Rainbow's End. No, Ben's mum's house.

Oh, you just said I can't hassle you. And also Rainbow's End's not really, I mean, a wonderful place, but it's not a town or a city. Anyway. The fun ends at Rainbow's End because you leave. Oh, you leave, yeah. Yeah, I tell you, the fun ends when you're stuck on the southern motorway driving back into town.

So give us a call right now. I'm Andrew the Hits. We're making you work for some movie tickets this morning, but if you can say a name of a New Zealand town or a city, basically give us a clue, and if we can't guess where it is, you'll win some movie tickets. Easy as that. All right, who likes starting their day with an unnecessary game?

I do. I do. This is more unnecessary than making your bed. Why make something that is only going to be unraveled in a matter of hours? Yeah. It's what I always think as I'm making a bed. This is pointless.

It is, yeah. Especially because, you know, when I get home, obviously Jen's been hustling the kids by herself in the morning. She's got no time to make the bed. So I'm making the bed one, two o'clock in the afternoon. I'm like, well, in four or five hours, this is just going to be all pointless work. We'll go to James.

Do you like making beds, James? I've learned over the years, too, yeah. Yeah, you've learned to like making beds. Well, James, I hope you've learned to like giving us vague clues as to where you live because this is the game. You tell us where you live without telling us where you live. If we can't figure it out, you're going to win tickets to the movies. Okay.

You ready? Yeah. Questionable number two. Questionable number two. Oh, there was an incident with number two in Invercargill at the pools. No, no. Oh, they were so confident. Yeah, because I remember that story.

It was a mystery poopser. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so we couldn't get it. Whereabouts? Y2. Oh, well done. These were as tenuous as the clues on The Masked Singer. That was good, James.

You're off to the movies. Lovely job. Thank you very much. Good on you. Thank you for listening. We'll get Sue on the air. good, James. You're off to the movies. Lovely job. Thank you very much. Good on you. Thank you for listening. We'll get Sue on the air. Morning, Sue. Good morning.

What do you do, Sue? Oh, I do a whole lot of things. Well, let's not drill down on it. She's an international con artist. Sue, give us clues where you live. If we can't figure it out, you're going to go to the movies. Cream of the Country. Cream of the Country? Cream of the Country.

Cream of the Country. Give us another clue. No, not just one. We haven't stipulated how many clues we're allowed. No, she might not have come up with another clue. Cream of the Country. Dairy? Yeah, dairy.

Waikato? Yeah, let's lock in Waikato. You're a dairy farmer. I'm in one of the dairy farm towns. Oh, Waikato. Oh, yeah, let's lock in Waikato. You're a dairy farmer. I'm in one of the dairy farm towns. Oh, okay. Now she's pulling on our teats. Who? Yeah, who?

I know you're trying to make a dairy reference, but it sounded a little weird, eh? Sorry, I apologise publicly for that. It was Paul. Oh, look. One of the dairy... The Manawatu? Oh, yeah, okay.

No. Okay. No. Okay. Whereabouts in New Zealand? Morrinsville. Oh, Morrinsville. Do you know they've got... First time I ever drove through Morrinsville a couple of weeks ago, and you'll know this,

they've got a massive cow on there. Like a five-a-glass cow. Like a chicken cow. I've got a five-a-glass cow at home in my backyard, but this is huge. This is like a huge cow. I was like, wow. Yeah, Morrinsville.

Who knew? That and Jacinda Ardern. Famous things from Morrinsville. Very well. What was the last thing you milked? What was the last thing I milked? Nothing. I was at the Field Days yesterday barbecuing.

Oh, now that. We've seen that on TV. It looks magnificent, the Field Days. It's huge. Yeah. And we've been there once or twice, and I got swept up in the madness and bought five swan dries. Oh, wow.

He did. He bought a lot, and then he dry cleans them, and now people are like, you don't dry clean a swan dry. You don't, do you? No, you don't. She even, Sue's like, what are you doing? She wants to listen to another radio show now. No.

Hey, good on you, Sue. You're going to go off to the movies, all right? Thank you, guys. Next on the show, we've actually got something really interesting for you. Yes, I just... This is the worst tease ever. But I love one person.

No, we're out. So I'd love to see where this is going. A rapper. How much he's saving on mowing his lawns a year by doing it itself will blow your mind. Jeez, you pulled that back beautifully. Well done. I knew I had something big and now I remember what it was.

It's that. Ben and Jono call this show Jono and Ben. Breakfast on the Hefts. Scrolling through your feed. This isn't hard-hitting news. It's a gentle caressing of the news. Ben lightly drapes his fingers across the news, and this is scrolling through your feed.

And now we're just talking before about the field days on at Mystery Creek in Hamilton. So a lot of people out there buying tractors and looking at all sorts of farming stuff. And this story from America I thought was really cool. Now, Rick Ross, he's a rapper in America. You may have heard the name and you may have heard some of his music before. He collaborates with some big artists.

So, you know, he's a rapper. So think, you know, think rapper. Think rapper. You know, in your head a successful multimillionaire rapper. Yeah, no, he's bought Evander Holyfield's old house. Now, Evander Holyfield was a heavyweight boxer, one of the heavyweight champs for many years. So he's bought this big mansion in Georgia,

and it's quite a big property. It's huge. It kind of looks like the White House. There's so many lawns. He said that every time he bought the property, people would walk past him, people would see him, they'd know he'd bought the property.

And he's like, they'd all say, do you know what Evander Holyfield spent on mowing his lawns a year a million dollars he would spend a million dollars on mowing the lawns

I've got that many lawns that's how big the place is so that's how much it would cost to get someone look at the area there's a lot of grass so that's how much

it would cost someone to come and mow the lawns so Rick Ross thought no hang on that's a million dollars I'll just save myself a million dollars I'm going to mow the lawns So Rick Ross thought, no, hang on, that's a million dollars. I'm just saving myself a million dollars. I'm going to mow the lawns myself.

He mows his own lawns. So he went to John Deere and bought a tractor. He said, told him he went in there. So Rick Ross went in there and he's like, hey, I've got this big property. I need to mow the lawns. What tractor do I need? They're like, you need this tractor. You need this attachment.

And so now he goes out and he said, it's his peaceful time. He goes out every couple of months. He spends four to five hours in the tractor. I love that. With the radio on and he just enjoys it. Mowing his lawns. You said he's smoking a lot of weed while he's doing it. He smokes a wee and he's like this is my peaceful time. I go out there and I'm saving myself a million dollars a year. That isn't a phenomenal

amount of money you're saving. Yeah and he'll go out there four to five hours cutting his own grass. He's a big rig too, Rick Ross. It would be a wonderful sight to see Rick Ross rolling along in a John Deere lawnmower. But I love it. I love the fact that he's like, that's a million dollars. I'm going to save it.

Even though he's probably got millions and millions of dollars from his rap career. He's like, you know, I'm going to save it. It's a waste of money. I'm going to save it. I love a fiscally responsible rapper. Because, you know, you see the majority of them rolling into nightclubs just throwing away cash and stuff. Not Rick Ross. No.

Guys. Yes. What are you doing? Think about your retirement. Add all this time you've been making it rain. Add all of that up over a year. You're costing yourself hundreds of thousands. Yeah, so now he says it brings a whole level of peace.

It's kind of like his mindfulness. He's turned something that was obviously going to be expensive and something that is a chore into something that is really good for his mental health. Do you want to know, this is going to really put things in perspective, particularly with the Auckland house prices. Do you know how much Rick Ross paid for this mansion? And it is a mansion. Well, because of Andy Mahoney, Holyfield, he would have earned millions and millions too.

I would say 50 to 100 million. 3.5 million. No. In Atlanta, Georgia. It's obviously not New York or Los Angeles. 3. That's US. Wow.

Oh my god. That doesn't even get you a public toilet in Central. That is just so sad. Wow. There you go. That's sad. Doesn't that really?

There we go. Why aren't we all living in Atlanta, Georgia with Rick Ross? And that is scrolling through your feed this morning. Started with something interesting and made me feel a little bit sad inside by the end of it. It is the hits. You got Jono in bed. Uh-oh. Jono's internet wormhole.

I'm lost again. Not only in life. What is the meaning of it? Where am I heading? I don't know. But more importantly, I've been lost on the internet. And 33, crazy facts. Crazy facts.

You never knew about the Kardashians. He's looking at me again with those eyes of this. That's fine. That's fine. that's fine. You know the rules. I mean, maybe you can start. I like the other day where we were like, you can keep going,

and then Juliet and myself get bored with the fact we have to stop. And if you get through all 33, then that's great. Okay. Here's the first fact. Mother Kardashian, Mama Kardashian, Chris. Yeah.

She uses black toilet paper. Why? Is this keeping you interested? I didn't even know that was a thing. Black toilet paper, though. You wouldn't know how much of the process you need to go when using the black toilet, how much you lost. You'd walk out of the toilet confused

and you never want to leave a toilet confused. Is there more to do? Is there less to do? Yeah, black toilet paper's your thing, which goes in theme with her black bathroom. Ah, right. So it's more for that sort of reason. More the aesthetics.

But you know, logistics. Chris did not think about that when she was needing to wipe. Here's another one. Kim Kardashian claims she can smell cavities on other people. So if you've got rotting teeth, I think they call it halitosis, don't they? Oh, right. She can smell that. I can smell bullshit too, Kim.

Everyone can smell bad breath. But rotting cavities might be different from bad breath. So yeah, okay. Kris Kardashian, she formed her own church. Did she? Did you know that? All of the members of the family put money into it. All right.

No, I don't get it. Because Kanye had his, I think he still does. The Sunday service? Yeah. California Community Church. And instead of walking up and receiving the body across, you walk up and receive an injection of lip filler or a butt implant maybe.

And Kim Kardashian had a hit pop single. She recorded a pop single years ago. Did you know this? No, I didn't know that. The song's called Jam Turn It Up. And they play in my jam.

They play in my jam. And I watched the video and it is borderline pornography. Close-up sultry shots of body parts. You'll only assume which ones. Lips, suggestive eyes. And I was like, why? Well, why?

Why am I still watching this? And is this safe for work? Is IT going to get a hold of me? But the lovely story, the lovely outcome of this, all funds and proceeds raised went to the children's hospital. Did it? So there's nothing like a bit of softcore pornography to raise some cash for the children.

Oh, that's a lovely gesture. It's like calendar girls having a fundraiser night for kindergarten or something. And those were 30... Well, I can keep going or are you done? Well, I feel like you're wrapping yourself up. Thank God, because those were 30... Well, I can keep going or are you done? Well, I feel like you're wrapping yourself up. Thank God,

because those were all the interesting facts. I've got spied to save a deus ex. Spy, the what's up by doco.nz. All right, time now for our dear friend

Producer Juliet who is brought to you by her sponsors, a can of Pals and a smashed avocado and Feta on Vogels. Thank you. What a great sponsor

that is. Now, Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, his ex-wife, Mackenzie Scott, they divorced, I think, a couple of years ago. She's given away almost $12 billion in less than a year, which is more than what most billionaires will give away in their lifetime. So that's more than the founder of Dell Technologies.

You know, like the Dell computers we use? Oh, yeah. We've got some in front of us here. Oh, I'm looking at a Dell now. And Mark Zuckerberg, that's more than they've ever given away in their lifetime. And she's donated to organisations that focus on the arts and combating racial discrimination.

And her net worth is currently $60 billion. But isn't that incredible? Oh, that's awesome. And I was kind of thinking, I was like, because she's a novelist as well, and I was like, did she make all novelist as well, and I was like, did she make all her money from writing books?

But then no, she obviously had shares in Amazon when it first started with her husband and then they just took off. So that's her most of it. He's trying to head to space, right? He's got that whole thing there. He bought a ticket, didn't he?

Yeah, and there's a petition. I was just reading about it earlier this morning and it's got up to about 10,000 signatures. It's a bit of tongue-in-cheek petition, but basically it's trying to stop him from coming back,000 signatures. It's a bit of tongue in cheek petition but basically it's trying to stop him from coming back to Earth. It's a petition because people think

maybe he's an evil genius. They're basically saying like is he Lex Luthor who was Superman's arch nemesis because I guess they kind of look similar. I get the same thing. So yeah there's a petition almost 10,000 signatures saying we're going to ban him from re-entering Earth when he goes up to space.

The internet, right? Yeah, I know. 2,000 people have taken time out of their day to sign a mock petition. I've never signed a petition. Have you never? No, nothing. Have you signed a petition? Yeah, I've signed a few.

I love all those ones that sort of go around social media. It's like, let's all sign this petition. What happens to it? Sometimes it gets results. Petitions get results. Yeah, sometimes they do. We're in enough groundswell, people going,

oh, there's so many people who want to do this. You want ease when signing a petition, don't you? You just want to like, oh, can I click a button, look like a good person,

look like I care about the cause and can we move on? Give us a call if anything happens. Sort of thing. Because usually when you sign out to petitions, it's, would you like to give us a monthly direct debit account?

You're deep into admin. Yes, true. Anyway, hey, Jeff Bezos. The thing is, I'm sorry, I was going to go back on Jeff Bezos' ex-wife giving away all that money. Traditionally, rich people who have made their money are tight. Oh, yes. And I assume she probably came into a lot of money

given their marriage. Right. And so it's probably not as tight as maybe her husband. Yeah, fair, true. It was like, I can spare 12, but I've got 60 of them. Yeah, I know, that's crazy, isn't it? And Paddy Gower's latest documentary, Paddy Gower on P, broadcast on Tuesday night,

and the ratings have just come out. Nearly half a million Kiwis watched it, tuned in, making it the most watched local programme on three this year and he said he's just humbled and really stoked that so many people are so interested in it. We spoke to him earlier during the week

and doing a great thing, you know, investigating things like that and putting it out on television. It was a good documentary too. He did a great job, Paddy. He's a wonderful man. So congratulations on those stellar ratings. Free-to-air television is back. It's back to life. Breathing some life into it.

Ben has never plugged free-to-air television so much, but now he knows we have a pending series coming out. He keeps going, free-to-air television's back. I think we killed it a few years ago with Jono and Ben, the TV show. It's slowly coming back to life, guys. They're proud of New Zealand. Go New Zealand! If only New Zealand was proud of them.

Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast on the hits. You just read something out there while that news was playing out. Did that spark your interest? It did, actually. I thought it was really, really cool. This family who only puts their curbside rubbish bin out five times a year. Now, I don't know if this is due to laziness. Or forgetting.

I'd probably do that, to be honest, because I forget. It's normally Thursday morning, and I was like, today, haven't put it out. Tuesday, there you go. Great example. Thursday. So there you go. And I'll hear about that later on.

But this case is actually because of the small amounts of rubbish and waste they have. They recycle, and they want to save the planet. So that's their... Don't make it. Don't sound like... Get an air of like... Get that out of your...

What do you mean an air of what? Just whatever, you know? I'm good on them. I'm saying... It's like, it's awesome. It's awesome what they're doing. Well, I like just jamming everything in my rubbish bin. And like it's awesome it's awesome what they're doing well i like just jamming everything in my rubbish bin and like even putting it out you know how the lid's still

half up that's what i like to do every week no really good so uh there she's a yoga instructor she's from an organization called love food hate waste she goes around schools and stuff educating on how you don't need to actually put everything in the rubbish bin and it's a great reminder it is isn't it yeah um Will I do anything about it? Probably not. But I should. And that's the main thing. You should.

Will you do anything about it? Think of the children. I do try and do that. I probably won't remember putting my bin out, though. But I do try and put stuff in. And we've got a compost now and things like that, you know? Yeah. The recycling for a while was confusing me.

I didn't know what went in what bin. Then they chuck soft plastics into the mix. Now they can't go in the bin. They've got to go to the supermarket. Yeah, you've got a while was confusing me. I didn't know what went in what bin. Then they chuck soft plastics into the mix. Now they can't go in the bin. They've got to go to the supermarket. Yeah, you've got to go to the supermarket. And the thing that lives in my car for nine months. But yeah. Yeah.

Anyway, but yeah, no, my kids are really good at it. And I get told off too. Jeez, if I wrap a sandwich in Glad Wrap. Oh, no. It's the worst thing you can take to school. I've murdered 59 dolphins apparently. Poppy will come home. She's like, well, well done.

You just killed a family of turtles. I was like, what? You wrapped my sandwich in Glad Wrap. I was like, that killed a family of turtles. You know, I can hold this now and not give it, it won't get to the turtles, but no, no. No, no, it's already done. Damage has been done.

I was like, but I'm still holding the Glad Wrap. Mm-mm, they're dead, R.I.P. turtles. Five words for 5K on the hits. You're only five words away from a massive payday. Oh, yeah. It's the game show that all the other game shows are talking behind the back of. The chase is running scared. The tipping point is tipped over.

The wheels have come off that fortunate wheel. Yeah, yeah. I don't know if they're that... But it's a fun game. They're quaking in their boots over there in game show land. It's a fun game. We play it every day at 7.45. Five words for 5K, a game of word association. Who's playing today?

We'll get Jessica on from Rolleston, shall we? That's in Christchurch, Jess. Good morning. What's in Rolleston? We went to Rolleston. What was that, the show home we stayed in was in Rolleston? Maybe it was out that way. Yeah, I think you're right.

Is there a whole new development in Rolleston? It's heaps. Yeah. Yeah, I think you're right. Is there a whole new development in Roleston? It's heaped. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, lovely area. Lovely. How's Christchurch this morning anyway, Jess? Cold, rainy.

Great. Painting a perfect picture there. Yeah. God bless New Zealand. Well, let's try and heat things up with $5,000. Who do you want to send into the soundproof booth? Conno, please. Oh, I'm heading in.

Now, I know Ben and Juliet love this because they get a little two-minute breather from me talking at them for an entire morning. They're like, this is their quiet time. Yeah, if anything, we'd love to keep them in there longer. But that's not how the game works. So Jono has made his way to the soundproof booth. And here, Jessica, is your first word.

What pops into your head when I say fake? Fake. Fake. Fake. F-A say fake? Fake. Fake. Fake. F-A-K-E. Fake. News. Fake news.

Yes. That's what pops into my head as well. Drive is your second word. D-R-I-V-E. Drive. Hmm. Hmm. Car.

Drive a car. I think you're playing a good game so far. Could you, Juliet, do you disagree? No, these are good. She's with me. Circuit is your third word. Circuit. Breaker.

Oh, nice work. Fruit is the fourth word. Oh, I'm thinking bowl or basket. Bowl or basket. Or vegetable. I'll come back to that one. I'll come back to that one. I'll come back to that one. Oh, you're playing a very smart, tactical game.

I like it. And hospital is the last word. Sick or bed? Go with bed. Go with bed. Go with bed. Hospital bed. All right, we're going to go back to fruit. Fruit bowl.

Fruit bowl. You played a very good game. So fake news, drive car, circuit breaker, fruit bowl, and hospital bed are your five words. We're going to get Jono out of the soundproof booth and see if we can match up five words. Pretty good words, I'd say, today'd say today john are you feeling confident i feel i feel like there's a good there's a good chance i'm not saying i mean it's yeah it's all what pops into your brain and there are options so yeah but yeah it's not impossible

okay have you got any words of inspiration jess she's got five words you'd like to say you can do it yeah Were those the five words? No, they weren't the five words. It would have been funny if she did say her five words. All right, Jono, let's see if we can match five words for Jessica and Rolleston. Fake is the first word. Fake news. Yes, we're off to a great start.

That one brought to you by Donald Trump. Wasn't a thing before his presidency, was it? No, you're right, but fake news became a big thing. Drive is the second word. Drive. Car. Yes. Yes. Did I just blow out the microphone?

The microphone was like I'm sick of microphoning you mate I'm retiring. Circuit was number three this morning. Circuit. Board. What did you say? Breaker. Breaker.

Oh, you're breaking your heart right now, John O'Brien. And let's see how you would have gone with the final two. Fruit. Bowl. Yes. Oh, don't tell me. Hospital. Pass. Let's see how you would have gone with the final two. Fruit? Bowl? Yes. Oh, don't tell me. Hospital?

Pass? Oh, hospital for Ed. Hospital. Oh, Jess, I am so sorry. Three out of five. Ain't bad. Well, yeah, it is, actually. Oh, you did great.

No, you did really well, Jess. I reckon we should play it again. I reckon there's a good chance you'd won. You played a very smart game. You have a great day in Christchurch. You too. Juliet, she is the only one around here who knows anything about celebrity. She's also the only one around here who knows how to get on the Wi-Fi too, which is useful.

She hates you when you get off it. You can't get back on. Yeah, so that's why we keep Juliet on, for celebrity and Wi-Fi-based purposes. So California has pretty much reopened and ditched most of their COVID rules. They're calling it the grand reopening of California State. And to celebrate, James Corden... It's quite wordy.

Yeah, it is. Yeah, they're reopening. You don't have to wear masks unless you're... If you're vaccinated, you don't have to wear a mask out in public in California. Yeah, yeah. So everyone's really excited about this over there. And James Corden and Ariana Grande

have made a parody video and song of Hairspray's Good Morning Baltimore, but called it No Lockdowns Anymore. No lockdowns anymore Time to go back to work in ironically, ironically

with the cast of hundreds on that sketch they had to film during lockdown, and we're breaking social distancing rules. That is actually very true. It's an impressive video. Like you said before, that would be a year's budget for most New Zealand TV shows probably spent on that video.

On a two-minute video. It's crazy. Yeah. I highly recommend watching it. And I haven't seen Hairspray in ages, but you know the tune? Like, good morning. I'm not going to sing.

He loves a show tune all quarter, know the tune? Like, good morning. I'm not going to sing. But he loves the show tune all quarter, doesn't he? Eddie starts to get his show... Singing as well to a carpool karaoke. Step aside Bieber, I've got this one. It is so good. He loves getting his singing chops out there. And they've written the lyrics to it very well.

They reference Zoom and everything like that and working and walking outside. It's very, very well done. He's very creative, James Corden, or his writers are. I'm sure they're all creative. And Ed Sheeran, he has teased his latest single, Bad Habits, and he's posted sort of like a video trailer. And he looks like a mixture of the Joker and a vampire.

Yeah, seems like some sort of vampire sort of. She's locked down, didn't treat him well. Yeah, seems like some sort of vampire sort of. She's locked down, didn't treat him well. Yeah, true. And people are like, forget Edward Cullen, Edward Sheeran is where it's at. But there's no audio of what the song sounds like, but it's quite dramatic. Very different for Ed Sheeran.

He's got kind of creepy looking makeup on and I think it's out towards the end of this month. Oh, he looks adorable as a vampire. He does, eh? Doesn't he? He reminds me of the little vampire in the Hotel Transylvania. The little baby vampire. Oh.

You know that movie? Yeah. Oh. Yes, I do. Listen, if anyone was going to hickey me on the neck, I would let Ed Sheeran suck away. Oh, I've just Googled the Hotel Transylvania baby vampire. It's a cute baby.

It's a cute baby. Oh, that is very cute. It looks like Ed Sheeran. It actually does's a cute baby. Oh, that is very cute. It looks like Ian Sheeran. It actually does. The orange hair. Oh, maybe we should put them side by side on now. Who wore it better? Yeah, yeah.

Yeah, totally. And that is a quick spy update for you. For more, you can head to the hits.co.nz. Paid to talk words and stuff into a microphone. It's New Zealand's breakfast. Jono and Ben on the hits. You know, I just did something out of the studio before that. And I regret doing it every day.

And then I really need to reset how I approach this social interaction. You meet someone, you go, hey. And you go, how you doing? And I don't care how they're doing. And I should. Really should, yeah. Yeah. Do you?

When you ask people, how you doing? What, do you say that to them? And they're like hey I'm just having I don't care mate I don't verbalise it but inside I'm like

I hope they don't tell me how they're really doing and it drags on the conversation and you know when people ask you how you doing they don't want to know

do you want to know when you ask someone how they're doing like if you ask me hey man I do as a mate like as a mate but you're right

on a superficial yeah how you doing and if I really drill down on it. I do as a mate, like as a mate, but you're right on a superficial level. Yeah, how you doing? And if I really drill down on it in a 10 minute combo of like, oh, things aren't good at home, mate, you'd be like, oh, wrap this up. I regret asking how are you doing? Yeah, but I mean, mate, I would want to hear that stuff. But you're right, in just a sort of light banter situation,

if someone goes in deep, you're like, ooh. We all feel it, though. We all feel obliged to say hey. Everyone goes, hey. And then you need to follow up with how you're going. Why do we need to do the follow-up question? Why don't we just stop after hey? Because no one cares about the how you're going.

And it's so automatic now that sometimes I'll say hey or someone will say hey to me and I'll be like, good, thank you. And then I'm like, oh, God, they didn't even ask. I don't think I've once listened to anyone where they've told me how they're going. No. Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime.

Just search Jono and Ben on Facebook. Car parks, they can be a stressful place. You know, particularly like fighting over a spot come Christmas time. That's something, you know, when you're driving around, you're like, gee, you find a spot and you indicate and someone else is indicating. I've never taken someone's car park spot. No, neither.

If there's one someone waiting to turn in i mean that takes a very confident yeah you know even if i'm there first and i know i clearly wasn't now it's what happens but some people i understand get wound up because i'll almost apologize if i was there first yeah i'm sorry i just got my confrontation i was just there but but yesterday uh because we went across so we were both going to a mall for something and we were parked in the car park and it's one of those multi-floor ones. Every floor looks the same.

Oh, there are labyrinth car parks, aren't there? Yeah. And like, you know, I had to find my car afterwards and I was pretty sure I had, I was like 4-4, but then I didn't realise there was like 4-4 orange, 4-4 different, I didn't know there was two. I mean, the orange you would think would have been painted orange, but it wasn't.

And so I'm looking around I know every level's painted green but they're labelled colours and I was at the spot that I walked to the spot that I thought there were four this is the spot where my car is

I'm like well it's not there it's not there and then you wander around you're like is this going to be my life now this is my life just walking around a car park

it's almost like just surrender the car the car park's won I thought about it I thought about what's the cost of buying a new car? I can just leave this one here. I'll take the bus.

You know, it got to that stage. But eventually, I'll give you the answer. It's rather costly, if you're wanting the answer. Probably more than the effort to find your car. Okay, well, I did. I persisted through. But no, I agree.

I was in the same car park. It was identical. Every level's identical. You can't tell them apart. It's like bald guys. They're all identical. Everything looks the and then i got the finally got the car and then i went to drive out and now this is there's some witchcraft in that car park as well because when you go in it's one of these new ones it must recognize your license plate going in and

so it knows when you enter and so when you go to exit through it obviously reads your license plate again to go how long you've been in there you get two hours free i didn't realize it was only two hours free and i thought because we'd been at all more than two hours so i drove up to the thing thinking in a way i'd get to go and the barrier arm wouldn't open and that's the low point in your life when you're like oh and there's traffic building up behind you oh when a barrier arm's not opening and it's like you have to go pay at the thing and you're like oh i've got to the point before where the people behind me were having to reverse back I had to go talk to two cars behind To go hi sorry

Can I just I've just got to go And you're like oh Again I felt like just leaving the car And going to buy a new car This guy's just parked in the car park once But he's abandoned three vehicles How is that

He parked comfortably and he left it there The other one was in line Then he went and bought a new car This guy's just parked in the car park once, but he's abandoned three vehicles. How is that? He parked comfortably and he left it there. The other one was in line. Then he went and bought a new car and he came back to the car park. Oh, yes. Anyway, I was like, oh, jeez. You know, the casino one, that is a gee whiz. That's an absolute maze, the casino car park.

But they've got a thing where you can type your registration like a computer on every level and it'll tell you exactly where your car is and a photo of it. Next to the lift. It's got a photo of every car in that car park. Wow. Where you parked. You're right. You're right. And you're like, oh you parked here. Here's your car. And you're like, oh thank goodness for that. It's been a nightmare for Ben's underground deals with the common cheeros.

But apart from that, it's great for finding your car. It is a hits you got, Jono and Ben. Real Kiwi blokes with soy lattes. Mmm. Jono and Ben,

breakfast on the hits. You're on the hits, Jono and Ben, on your Thursday morning. Now, Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the world's most famous footballers and he's playing over there

in the European Championship at the moment. I think there's a European Cup going on in football. And one of the major sponsors most famous footballers, and he's playing over there in the European Championship at the moment. I think there's a European Cup going on in football. And one of the major sponsors is Coca-Cola, and he was sitting at the press conference. They're just the sponsors of life, aren't they, Coca-Cola? And he was sitting at the press conference. There was a couple of bottles of Coca-Cola in front of him

because that's what happens at these press conferences. You know, that makes sense. The sponsors often have their products. Yeah, it's the old product placement. Actually, on that note, this is brought to you by Skinny. Happy, happy ho. But Ronaldo looked down and saw the couple of bottles of Coca-Cola during the press conference,

and you could see his sort of mind tick over, and then he decided to move them out of the way of the shot, and then he brought up his water bottle, and he was like, hey, everyone drink water. And obviously this is not... Well, so you're probably like,. Well Coke's not paying me. But I guess they're paying for the tournament so they're paying to have it there and yeah

obviously interesting move to make. Now what did this move like this would have cost Coke a lot of money? Well yeah it has actually after at the start of the press conference there's reports saying the Coca-Cola shares were worth $78 each but by the end of that press conference, there's reports saying the Coca-Cola shares were worth $78 each, but by the end

of that press conference, they dropped basically to $77, so a 1.6% dip, which is basically, when you look at that, but it's a total value of $5 billion. Thanks for that in-depth market analysis of Coke. I should have just seen them drop by $5 billion.

That would have been a lot easier, because I'm pretty puzzled right now. Okay, so what happens is... Then the financial advisor. And looking at the NASDAQ today, the FTSE's trading quite well against... Coca-Cola have also come out and said, hey, you know, we offer people at the press conferences, there's Coke, there's Coke Zero. Do they then hold another press conference?

And also water as well, and everyone's entitled to drink, you know, what they want. So they actually handled it, I thought, really well. But, you know, I mean, let's break down the shares just a little bit more. You want to go on to, you know? How are they trading against the Pepsi code now? Oh, no. That's for a conversation for another day. It is the hits.

You got Jono and Ben. Want more Jono and Ben? You can wake up with the boys' weekdays from six on the hits. And via the iHeartRadio app. Jono and Ben on the hits wake up with the boys' weekdays from sex on The Hits and via the iHeartRadio app. Jono and Ben on The Hits Breakfast. Friends of Skinny.
