Yeah, it was a fun show today for a Friday. Just finished moments ago, moments ago. What's the first thing you think of when we wrap up on a Friday, Ben? Well, normally I think someone's going to go, we've got to do the podcast intro. That's the first thing.

That's usually Producer Joel. Producer Joel loves a podcast intro. I noticed you do love Rolling straight from the show Straight into the podcast That's one of those It checks something off Of his to-do list

Momentum mate You know We just finished with a Great happy break Ending the week Let's just roll this momentum over You know Keep the vibes going

There's a question for you Do you find the word weird Offensive Like would someone Not an offensive As in a like I'm going to write To the New Zealand Herald

Or anything like that But if someone said Oh oh, that's weird. That thing you're wearing is a bit weird. We were having this debate last night because Guy Williams, we worked with him many, many years. What I love about Guy, he's like, we're hanging out with one of your kids. He just has no filter. No, he doesn't. And I was standing next to him yesterday.

He saw someone else and was talking. And just halfway through, he went, those are weird shoes. To the person just looking down. Was it in relation to any other part of the conversation no nothing at all he's obviously just popped into his head he said yeah and you can see the person was like hey you know and then i was like did that that sounded a little and i thought i'd bring it up offensively because i didn't mean an offensive way weird shouldn't be shouldn't be offensive like he's just weird weird for him was just they were unusual. They were unusual. They're just different. They're out there and they're, he's like, I actually quite like them.

But I don't know, the term weird. He, well, he is weird. So he can say it. You know, it's like, oh, I can openly mock bald people. Ben, you can't go around mocking all bald people. No, just you. Just me. And I've never actually given you a free pass to do it,

but you've just done it anyway. But it's kind of like if you are living and breathing what you're mocking, Just me, and I've never actually given you a free pass to do it, but you've just done it anyway. It's kind of like if you are living and breathing what you're mocking. Yeah, right. He is weird, isn't he, in a lot of regards. Well, I can't say that, but he could. Yeah, he is. He's like a kid.

He is very much. I just looked at him and you're like when I go with my kids when they were younger, and then afterwards you sort of pull them aside and go, hey, maybe next time don't bring up that. You know, you have that sort of conversation. And he's never got any more organized the older he's become. Like, you know, when I first took him into the show that I was working on, I brought him into our marriage, didn't I? And I was like, oh, he's a bit young.

You know, he's out of university. Maybe this is just a thing. But no, now he's definitely, you know, he's 30s. Yeah, he's in his 30s. And he hasn't got any more, no, any more organised. And it's like every time he comes in here for an interview, he's just like flustered for no reason. Always running 20 minutes, Lane. And he talks and he comes, yells at the microphone for 10 minutes and he leaves.

Even yesterday, like he wasn't meant to do the show that it was on and they rang him up and they were like, can you do the show? He's like, no, I'm busy. And they're like, what are you doing? He's like, I'm playing golf. And they're like, do you play golf? He's like, no. But busy and they're like what are you doing he's like I'm playing golf and they're like do you play golf he's like no but he booked it in for some reason

and they're like will you cancel he's like yeah probably could to be honest because I don't play golf but he had golf locked in with a mate and he didn't even

play golf like that's Guy Williams to a T he's like can't mate playing golf and they're like well do you play it was just

I think they were going to the driving range so they convinced him not to play golf yeah they were like well can you get out of it and he's like yeah no I probably could anything, I think they were going to the driving range. So they convinced him not to play golf. Yeah, they were like, well, can you get out of it? And he's like, yeah, no, I probably could. Anything, I could probably go later.

It's the driving range. But Guy Williams, yeah. So yeah, he committed himself to golf. He got a lot of it. He felt, we were doing something. I don't know, my kids were there and him. I don't know why I let my children around him. But anyway, they were younger and he was playing with them and running around.

And Oscar, my son, fell over and smashed his face on the park bench. I remember that, yeah. Yes. And Guy, but this is truly who he is, he felt so bad that all of a sudden. Which wasn't his fault. It wasn't his fault, he was playing. It wasn't like he tripped your child. Well, as far as I could see.

Oscar always thinks there was a cheeky trip on there. But anyway, I haven't brought it up with him. No he came knocking at nine o'clock at night on the door and I'm like oh

who's this and it was him. It was him with some presents. Some apology presents as well. And I was like jeez you're weird

why couldn't you do this. You could have done this at four o'clock, five o'clock but no that was a lovely gesture. Anyway podcast

today spoke to All Black George Bauer. Put him under the pump with some tough. Anyway, podcast today. Spoke to All Black George Bauer. Put him under the pump with some tough questions, Ben. Questions he wasn't willing to answer a lot of the time. Yeah, right. Some of them we had to go to the whistle, the ref's whistle on that one. We had some time wasting.

Not the gun. There you go. That's it. Producer Joel has been firing off a gun at some unusual times throughout the show today, Producer Joel. Really trying to expand the Hats Breakfast soundboard. You know, we've got that. Horse.

Was it squash or tennis? Tennis, yeah. That's the tennis one. You know this one? That's a dog. Oh, no, like a panther or a cougar. Mountain cat and cougar. That one, you definitely used that one with the bad joke sort of drum roll a few times on the show, don't you?

You need to expand. Get a few more, actually. Get a few more in there. Some shows are very good at the sound effects, aren't they? Yeah. You used to play me a thing at the beginning of an NBA podcast. Oh, yeah, those guys were ESPN. And they were like...

They came in with so much energy. I was like, man, we're doing it all wrong. We're doing it wrong. They're coming in with gusto. You can't keep that up. You can't keep a consistent energy level like that. And they sort of pull it off. They've sort of got, you know,

American suburbado and stuff like that. Yeah. Yes, sir. Movement, you know, all this stuff. Yeah, and it sounded fine when we do it. They. Yes, sir. Movement, you know, all this stuff. Yeah, and it sounded fine when we do it.

They're like, oh, guys, come on, you know. But hey, that's, you know. It does bring a lot of energy,

doesn't it, that one? Yeah, yeah. What is, yeah. That's it. Well, anyway, enjoy the podcast

with minimal sound effects and minimal banter. Just a couple of dads screaming on the sidelines of their kids' sports games. Jono and Ben on the hits. Huge, huge weekend of sport. Can't wait for that. Black Ferns and the All Blacks playing at Eden Park on Saturday night. Then the All Whites playing on Sunday at the same location.

Yeah, and we're joined now by All Black prop George Bauer, who's been on the show quite a lot, George. We need to get you on the payroll, mate. We just need your IRD number. We need you to fill out one of those IR330C forms. One of those forms, and we'll get you to do that for us. But we do appreciate your time. I think I've already sent it through. But we do appreciate your time.

I think I've really sent it through. Oh, you sent it through. Sort of thinking accounts department right now. We'll get that paid. But last week, I mean, the game was a rollercoaster of a game against the Aussies. I mean, how was the heart rate for you guys? You know, being the All Blacks was watching it. Jeez, it was tough.

Playing at Marvel Stadium there, and I haven't played in Melbourne for, you know, jeez, it was tough. Playing at Marvel Stadium there, I haven't played in Melbourne for 12 years, so we're up comfortably and then kind of let them back into the game. And so for us to score in the last minute or even get that call from the ref and then score after that, yeah, the boys were so happy and a bit of relief as well. But, yeah, just happy to win that game, especially against the Australians

and take the bed home with us. Nerve-wracking watching it, let alone being in the team. Is your stomach turning and knots? Before the game, it definitely is. A lot of nerves. It's good nerves, but I guess once the game's going through, you don't really think about it. It all goes away and you just trust what you've done all the preparation you've done throughout the week so

but then again when you're playing you just hope you don't make a mistake now George there was a big call obviously at the end of the game the time wasting call the referee blew the whistle for time wasting and reversed you know a penalty they'd given to the Australian so I wanted to play a quick game with you right now, the time wasting game. So I'm going to ask you a question. If you take too long to answer the question, we're going to blow a whistle and you'll be penalised

for time wasting, alright? But in turn, you probably don't get to answer the question, so it's probably quite good for you as well. Alright, who is the worst All Black to room with? Oh.

Time wasting there. We're going to penalise you for time wasting that one. But I want to know who the

worst All Black is. Sorry. I don't like this game. It's been penalised for time wasting.

It's a very unfulfilling game. Okay. You've got to pick one. If you could play for any other Super

Rugby franchise other than the one you could play for any other super rugby franchise other than the one you're playing for right now, which would it be? Hey, George, you can fire that one back to him and go, if you could be on any other radio station right now, which one would you be? Yeah. I'll take the whistle on that one as well.

What's the one thing you hate about rugby? Eating. Eating? Oh. Watch what you eat. Oh, yeah, you'd rather be eating burgers and things like that. Yeah, fair enough. The worst haircut in the All Blacks squad right now.

Who's got the worst haircut? Oh, I'm going to have to go with my man, Seve Reese. Seve Reese as well. You answered that one. That's good. Which All Blacks always looking at himself in the gym mirror the most? Maybe Caleb Clark. Okay.

Caleb Clark. Yeah. Hey, I saw Caleb met Aquaman met Jason Marmore during the week did you get to meet him oh yes yeah yeah

got to meet him he was staying at the hotel same as us and yeah so we got to meet him and a few boys had a few beers

with him downstairs and just chatted oh really oh man it was awesome to meet him and meet a real kind of Hollywood star.

Now is Aquaman trying to get some free tickets to the game? Yeah, he's gone back overseas, but he said if he was still in New Zealand, he'd definitely come to the game. But he shared his context with some of the boys, and I think he could possibly be filming a film here. Yeah, I think he's doing a series or something at some stage. But he's a massive fan. He was like, I met my idols, the All Blacks and Tana Umunga.

I mean, that's incredible. Yeah, he's a huge All Blacks fan, and so he was buzzing out to see some of the boys. It was like almost he was starstruck. And when he saw Tana for the first time, it was like you couldn't believe it, eh? It's amazing. You should say, hey, next time you want to come to the game,

you can pay for a ticket, mate. You're Aquaman. Yeah. Oh, George, so nice to catch up with you, mate. We love having you on the show and all the very best for this weekend. It's great to see the All Blacks winning again and it's going to be such a huge doubleheader,

the Black Ferns and then obviously the All Blacks afterwards. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. Now huge doubleheader, the Black Ferns and then obviously the All Blacks afterwards. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. Now, local body elections, the voting, you can start now. Have you got your pamphlet? Has it arrived? I haven't had my pamphlet. You said there's a couple of funny joke candidates.

Yeah, that's the thing. It's kind of like, I've described it like, it's like Game of Thrones. There's so many characters. You don't know anyone's names, but you're kind of going through and you're like oh who's this person yeah so it's not just

people running for mayor they're also the councillors as well yeah all the ones leeching off the dollars aren't they but it's great I mean this is probably

more important in some ways than you know the general election but it feels like less people vote on it because this affects you on a day to day basis you're dead right

locally yeah speaking yeah but I'm like why do I have to put Kerry Dalton on the Sandringham Community Board? But yeah, but this is affecting you day-to-day. And I'm like, we should really all get behind it

and make an effort. Everyone's like, oh, we've got to post it in. You're like, yeah. You've got to post it in? Yeah. Oh, I'm out. No, so we should be voting. But last night on the project, we're doing a little thing

now where we're talking to some kids. Are you a child, Labour? We just like to smoke screen our averageness with cuteness. It's a great play. Old Cosby, he did this back in the day with the kids, didn't he? Hopefully that's where the similarities between our careers begins and ends.

Yeah, that's right. He had the kids say the darndest things. And we were talking to some kids yesterday about local body elections, what they would do if they were mayor. Have a listen. The mayor has to have a special set of skills. What are your skills? Karate.

Karate? Chopping there? I've never seen a karate mayor. What would be a slogan for you if you were going to get into council? Vote for Baden. Hi-ya. Vote for Baden. Hi-ya. Yeah.

And then what should we say? Should we say, cut the competition? Chop down the... Chop down the trees. Okay, right. Don't overuse your campaign. No, it's his campaign. It's his campaign. Let me get the campaign manager. Well, as your campaign manager, I still don't know if it's the best thing. You get to make one rule. What is it?

Free iPhones. Free it? Free iPhones. Free iPhones? Free iPhones? For the entire city or town? I'm voting for iPhone. Everyone gets an iPhone. Would you vote for him? Baiton, he was very cute.

He was six years old. And he had some good ideas. Chop down the trees. Well, maybe not that one, but free iPhones. Yeah. I love the mumbo number five in there too. One, two, three, four, five. Bit of bloody lube. You've got to source things up. No, wonderful stuff. Yeah, the kids are great, aren't they? yeah I love the mumbo number five in there too one two three four five

got a bloody Lou Baker to source things up no wonderful stuff yeah the kids are great aren't they they've got some good and they're good to go on television with too

with us too because they bring the average on screen age down don't they what was the average age of people on screen there well we take your nine year old you take us

and it works out beautifully and it's nice for someone to be watching something for us and go oh that's cute. That's nice. It almost allows us to get away with our shambolicness. Yeah.

The kids kind of help us out. So if you want to see that segment. They do say don't work with children, though. Don't they? Don't tell that to the teachers. Or else no one will educate our kids. If you want to see that segment, actually we'll chuck it up on the Hits Breakfast today.

It's a new segment on the project on three. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. There's the Hits. You've got Jono and Ben. We want to know if you've accidentally ever shut down something. Got this amazing call yesterday from Chris, if you missed it, he shut down an entire airport car park in South Africa. What I was just trying to do was

to bend the barrier, but I must have been a little bit worked up because I ripped the whole barrier out. Oh, you ripped the barrier arm off. And as I took off, all hell broke loose because I ripped the whole barrier out. Oh, you ripped the barrier arm off! And as I took off, all hell broke loose because I just started driving. As I went through, all the gates closed, the sirens went off.

That's a parking area that has about, I think, seven floors. Got surrounded by security. What a machine! Like the Hulk ripping off the barrier arm of the parking. Such a good call. On 0800 The Hits, we want to know what have you shut down? We've got Sally with us right now.

You shut down a whole entire post office, apparently. Hi, Charlie. What a performance. What a performance. What did you do? Totally embarrassing. So in the olden days when we used to have post offices, I was working in Taupo at another radio,

Nameless Salt Radio Station, and I got a phone call from a private number. Of course I answered it, and Mr and Mrs Policeman here, did you post a parcel in the Taupo post office? Yes, yes, I was proud as punch. I was sending it to Australia to a friend. Could you come and identify it for us? It seems to be ticking.

I went, oh, it's just a clock. Oh, my God, I've left the batteries in it. So I walked across the post office. All the staff and the police were standing outside. I left batteries in a clock. I guess for them a ticking noise is not the best thing you want in a package. So, yeah, that's it and I quickly scuttled back off to the radio station

and sat down and hoped no one recognised me. There you go Sally causing a bomb scare in the Taupo Post Office. Hey, why were you sending a clock? Can they not buy it? Was it a gift clock? Was it a memento from somewhere? Yeah, it was a birthday present and it had New Zealand on it and I thought I was doing the right thing

to send to Australia. Well, you never want to receive a clock without batteries in it because then you're like, oh, now I've got to get home. True, true. So you were being thoughtful, but also at the same time causing a huge bomb scare. Shut down Sally, we'll call you now. Thank you very much, Sally. Have a good day, lads.

The Hits. Last night, a 5.8 earthquake just out of Wellington and it was felt right around the country, and we wanted to know this morning on 0800. Did you feel it? Did you feel it? No, no. No.

Did you feel it, Joel? No. No. No. Melody, did you feel it, Melody? Hello. Did you feel it? Yes, I did.

Where are you, Mel? In Motuaka. Oh, Motuaka. Oh, yeah. Yeah, but the thing was, I got an alert on my phone to say that there was an earthquake. And then I'm like, oh, I didn't feel that. And then next thing, it just rumbled through my whole house. Oh, really?

Wow, that's... And everything was shaking. I got like a chandelier in the middle of my lounge, and it was swinging from side to side. Jesus, what sort of mansion are you living in with a blooming chandelier in the middle of my lounge, and it was swinging from side to side. Jesus, what sort of mansion are you living in with a blooming chandelier in the lounge? Yeah, yeah. Not a fancy one, not a fancy one. Well, it sounds fancy.

Jeez. Jesus, chandelier. Chandelier brings the noise. Yeah. So, yeah, really weird how the alert came through first. Yeah. Literally straight away came to my phone, and then I was like, oh. It didn't feel nothing, and next thing, yeah, right through, like, the house,

and it shook for a wee while. Now, well, you couldn't get a worse lighting system than a chandelier in an earthquake, could you? No, no, no. Rocking back and forth. So what were you thinking, Mel? What was going through your mind? I was like, where the heck's, you know, like, because it was so strong on Mochoaca,

I was like, it must have been, I thought it was a lot closer than actually what it was. I didn't realise, you know, it was like in the French Pass. I thought it was like quite a lot closer than that. Did you stop, drop and roll? I was like, when the hell is it going to stop? And were there going to be aftershocks? Yeah, that's true.

I was in Christchurch on holiday when they had lots of aftershocks after the second earthquake, and that was still scary. Yeah, they kept going for years. I know. Yeah, they did. And to see the Christchurch people, actually, they were all, as you said,

they were all prepared to just leave. And a bit anxious, though. The tanks were like half full in case they overflowed. They had nothing up high, nothing that could fall down. It was just, yeah.

Bloody resilient people in Christchurch. Exactly. That's for sure. It certainly is. Tell you what, Melanie, love you, yeah. Bloody resilient people in Christchurch. Exactly. That's for sure. It certainly is. Tell you what, Melanie, love you, mate. I love you guys too. I love listening to you every morning.

Thanks for getting up early and hanging out with us this morning. Thanks for giving us a call. Why are you up right now, Melanie? Well, you'll know me as the paper girl. Oh, yes. She's the paper delivery person through Mochueka. Love your work, Melanie. You go and get the news to the people.

I will. Okay. Have a good day. Bye. You too. Two semi-competent dads handing out semi-competent parenting advice. Jono and Ben on the hits. I love my kids. You know, I love my two daughters. He always starts with, I love my kids, and then he's going to rip them out. But, you know, I was thinking about it yesterday, you know i love her two daughters and it always starts with i love my kids and then he's going to rip them out but here we go but you know no but i was thinking about it yesterday you know

you you know when you first have your kids your first their first words are such big big occasions when they start talking in there and then they start talking and then they keep talking and they sometimes get to a stage when i do love all the things they come up with but the other day my daughter cn but there's sometimes you're like, too many words, guys. Yeah. Just shh. My daughter Sienna is very much like me. She'll just talk and she'll talk and she loves it, loves the wee audience as such.

And so she'd been watching a movie the other day and she came into me and I was in a situation where I had a few things in my mind. I was in the middle of something and I was trying to listen to her, and she would continue to tell me about this movie that she was watching. I was like, yep, yep. And then I was still trying to pay attention, but at the same time thinking, how long is this story going to go on for? And you never want to come back in those scenarios

when you aren't fully present with the wrong reaction. Yeah. And you're like, oh, that's classic. And they're like, I've just said my grandmother's died sort of thing, you know? Yeah. So then I ended up grabbing the phone for a bit. I was like, well, maybe I should record some of this. And this was Sienna telling me about this movie that she was watching.

Oh, so there was basically this girl and her boyfriend died and they were all really sad. Oh, and then they climbed this really tall tower. Did I tell you about the tower? She was quite enthusiastic about the thing and then she just kept... And then, so they got to the top of the tower and the ladder broke and they couldn't get down Like it was like every single detail of the movie. The entire plot line.

And it would just keep going on and on and then they realised there was no ladder left So did she watch the movie and then want to tell you how good it was? Yeah, she wanted to come in and tell me this movie that she had just got to the end. And then what did she do? She grabbed the bag I feel and then what did she do she grabs it back i feel

like i've just watched the movie by hearing it and i did something before and i actually um i actually said to cnn i was like i said with cnn stop and i was like like i love you cnn i love you but i've i'm sorry i do not care about this conversation at all i have stopped caring about this movie like seven to nine minutes ago I have checked out of this conversation. The only care he had for it was getting his phone and recording it so he could get some radio out of it. Even after that I've got the radio back and I was like oh my god she is

still going with this thing and I have to say to her you can see her face going what but you've recorded this I thought this was great I'm going to roll here I'm like sorry mate but I've really I'm like halfway through I mate, but I'm really, I'm like, halfway through, I need to get something out of this. And if it's a radio break, then that's the best I can do.

Yeah, so kids, you know, when they say their first words, very cute, but then they get to a stage where they just don't stop talking. This is the Jono and Ben podcast. Wall-to-wall talking without the niggly popular songs in between. Daylight Savings happening this weekend. Feels like it sneaks up on you, even though it happens twice a year. Like I say, there's a conversation debate rages on about, do we need Daylight Savings? We all get wound up about it until we forget.

Yes. And then we get on with life, and then Daylight Savings comes up again, and we're like, well, we don't need Daylight Savings, and then we forget again. It's like when Pack and Save starts releasing Santa chocolates too early. Yeah. We'll get wound up about that, then we forget about it until the next one. Now, it's not done everywhere in the world,

daylight savings. A lot of countries aren't doing it, but somehow, like New Zealand, and there are some benefits, there's some pros and cons other than the one having the daylight. Obviously, it's designed to give us more daylight. Golf, the golf industry,

apparently they make an extra $200 million in sales for the extra daylight. Barbecue industry, $100 million in sales. Why do the golf industry make another turn? Because you've got another hour, buddy. You can get up there and golf course. Oh, it's 6 o'clock at night. I might go play some golf now. Golf is twilight golf.

Yeah, people love going. And if you've got the extra time in the evening, because through the winter, you wouldn't be able to go after work, you know, if you're working a traditional nine to five or whatever it is. So in the summertime you can go afterwards. So for the golfing industry, they're like, great. The barbecue industry are like, great, all for it. But then there is a lot of things like, apparently there's a lot of accidents.

There's more accidents, of course. Well, because it puts out your circadian rhythms. You're sleeping, you're more tired, You make bad decisions when you're tired. People sleep deprived. Farmers aren't actually into it generally as much as people would think because it does kind of puts out the animals. The animals don't really understand that the time has moved on by now. Dumb, dumb animals.

Stupid animals. Why don't they understand daylight savings? But some countries have it in just certain states. Yeah. So in Australia, Queensland doesn't do it, do they? No. But then other parts of Australia do. Wasn't there a place down south?

Oh, Te Ana. They were like, we're going to be on Te Ana time. But I think that was, yeah. Are they still carrying on with that? We spoke to the guy from Te Ana and I was like, what is this? This is a very wishy-washy. What is going on here? It felt like just something they were saying,

but they hadn't actually enforced. Great marketing campaign. No one was sticking to Teano at the time. 404-87 is our number. 0800 the hits. Daylight savings. I reckon get rid of it. Like, I'm just...

They'd stick to this one right now. The one that we kick on in And give us more daylight from now And then let's just ride it out Why get rid of it though Ben? It's like when they changed the road rules Remember when they put that new left turning one in? Everyone was out of whack with that It's something we've done for so long

I don't like to change my ways Set them away We just get into it and then we'll just stay there Well I do like to change my ways I like to change it by an hour every six months. So 0800THEHITS, 4487,

maybe you're in an industry that benefits from it. Maybe you're in an industry that doesn't. Yeah. Are we daylight, daylight or naylight to daylight savings?

0800THEHITS, let's do a poll that will have no effect. They've got pranks. They've got puns. Now they just need some actual listeners. Jono and Ben on the hits. We are heading into a long

weekend. Monday is a holiday commemorating the Queen, Queen Elizabeth and also it's Daylight Savings. Sunday night. We're going forward. We're getting ourselves a spring. We get spring forward. We get ourselves an extra hour of daylight as we head on in. But that means we lose sleep, right?

Yeah, you lose an hour of sleep. So going into winter, you gain an hour. You feel like a million dollars. But then this period, you lose. And that's one of the big arguments against abolishing daylight savings is it does put people's sleep patterns out of whack. The experts, the sleep experts, Ben, you heard of them? Yeah, I have.

They're calling it for it to be abolished. New Zealander. A New Zealander originally, or a guy living in New Zealand who came over from Britain, he was the guy that originally came up with the idea for daylight savings, and the Germans were the first country to ever implement it. So the guy came up with the idea.

He wanted to do it so he could play Tiddlywinks or something. No, it was a bug. He was a bug. The guy George Hudson was his name. He loved looking for insects. Well, just do it during the day, George. He was working. He was a shift worker. He was like,. That's right. George Hudson was his name. He loved looking for insects. We'll just do it during the day, George. He was working. He was a shift worker.

He was like, can't do it. It was his after work hobby. Let's change it. Let's get this daylight. So he went out there to do that. And New Zealand were like, no, I don't know. But Jumalee was the first country that took it up. I love Jumalee.

Jumalee. It's one of my favorite countries. A lot of hands on the sand tires there in that place. We were just having a conversation during that song It's like if we all today decided That the daylight savings That's coming up on the weekend We're going to stick with that

We're going to lock it in as of Monday or Sunday Sorry we're going to lock that in as the new time So we obviously know it means extended hours Through the summer months What happens at winter? So if we stay on that time, does that mean it needs, where does it get darker? Does it get darker earlier? Yeah. Well, same

time? Why does it bamboozle us so much? I don't like it when we get into these things because it exposes us for the uneducated people we are being. We're going to kick it off with Anne in Rotorua. Daylight or naylight, Anne? Definitely daylight.

Yeah? Definitely. What sort of selfish benefit has it got to you, Anne? A couple, actually. So I'm in Rotorua in the tourism industry, and that allows our visitors to enjoy the destination and do lots of activities and things, and it also allows me to get home in the daylight as well

because we've got a little bit more time at work, and I always feel good about being able to get home in the daylight. I get that. You can go home, you can have barbecues, you can hang out with the family, you can do stuff, which is great. But what happens if you're just stuck with that time, the new time we're going to kick on? Would you be okay with that?

No, no. Okay. I really, no, I love it. But what happens if you're just stuck with that time, the new time we're going to kick on? Would you be okay with that? No. No. Okay. I really, no, I love it. In fact, my husband rang me the other day and said, oh, you'll be excited, daylight savings. I know, I love daylight savings. She likes arriving home in the daylight.

Yep, love it. Yeah, so no, please don't get rid of it. Okay, well, listen, to be honest, we have no power to get rid of it. Maybe we should make it like a commercialiser. Everyone gives clocks on daylight savings and make it like a... A Christmas sort of event. Yeah, that's an old...

Well, I think, you know, we've had a hard time in the hospitality and tourism industry, as you know. And yeah, being able to give the visitors a bit more daylight to do a few more things. I'm with the golfers. God, I'm easily swayed. I'm already on board. Yeah, you were like, no, let's get rid of it. Oh, they make good points. Yeah, they do.

Well, once she pulls out the tourism hospitality card, you can't melt hearts. If I can go ziplining through the forest of Notorua, then I'm in. Kez, you're on from Tauranga. Daylight or naylight? Are we binning daylight savings? Totally binning it. Oh, okay. Why?? Are we binning daylight savings? Totally binning it.

Oh, okay. Why? Why are we getting rid of it? It's all fun and games until you have children. Life is all fun and games until you have children. Yeah. And then they argue with you. Oh, but the sun's still out.

And you're like, well, it's nine o'clock, mate. You need to go to bed. I remember that as a kid, looking out through the windows, you see people playing in the neighborhood, and you're like, what, it's nine o'clock, mate. You need to go to bed. I remember that as a kid, looking out the windows, you see people playing in the neighbourhood and you're like, what am I doing in bed? And then you're the bad mum because the neighbour's children are still playing and oh my gosh.

Yeah, and they're like, we're out here having fun and games. You said it was all fun and games. Now we've got to go to bed at nine o'clock. Yeah, so for kids... I reckon we change it by half an hour and then keep it like that. Split the diff. I like it. So we're all running off a half hour?

I think North Korea does that. Yeah, but it could work. Yeah. Then everyone's happy. Yeah, good on you, Kez. Thank you very much. But that's the thing. Everyone's got their own personal reason as to why it should either stay or go,

whether it's professional or personal or the kids, the fun and games you had before having kids there, Kez. Appreciate your time, mate. Cool, thank you. And the smoke alarms, remember? Don't forget to change your battery. We're still pounding on about that message. I think so. That's a good message. Conspiracy from the

battery industry to hock off a few more units, isn't it? If you're a guy here for romantic advice you are in serious trouble John Owen Bean on the hits now Adam Blabein

he's the lead singer of Maroon 5 and the only one that I can name from Maroon 5 but yeah we always we always talk about

this now I'm going to put this to bed Maroon I feel sorry for the other guys from Maroon 5 well you don't feel that sorry because you haven't bothered

to learn their name maybe I will maybe I should now because what's going on right now you've got James Mickey Jesse

Sam all the guys all the lads well they are my favourite characters because right now Admiral Bean's you know he's been outed

for doing something that's not good he's been private messaging people that it's not his wife his wife is pregnant wife and flirtatious messages now he says he's crossed the line people that it's not his wife. His wife is a pregnant wife and flirtatious messages. Now, he says he's crossed the line.

He says that's all that he's done. But maybe there's more to come. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know, Ben. I don't know. You gestured your hand to me like I was meant to come on with something. But we're going to introduce from the New Zealand Herald, a host of a wonderful podcast.

Cherie, good morning. Good morning. Thanks for having me on. Lovely to have you here, Cherie. Now, we're going to be up front with you. We're an up front radio show. You did some great content on the Herald. Oh, it was a fair podcast, wasn't it?

Give your podcast a plug. Yeah, so I'm one of the co-hosts of In The Loop, which is a New Zealand Herald podcast, and I host that with Katie Harris, and it's a weekly youth news podcast. Yep, and you did some content on there, and we want to steal it. Yeah, we're like, that's a good topic. We should have done this, and now we're like, we'll bring you on, and it allows us to do it

because it was your idea. Sounds good. Well, have we got your blessing? Yeah, I give you the blessing. Oh, thank you, Cherie. Thank you very much. Now, I was around the Adam Levine scenario this week, which emerged that he had been having some flirtatious messages

with Instagram models and his wife. Yeah, DMs, right? DMs, yeah, and then his wife didn't know about it. And then he even invited one of the Instagram models, asked her to see if he could name his third child after her. So weird. Touching tribute to the affair. Yeah. So it's a bit odd. models asked her to see if he could name his third child after her so weird touching tribute to the affair yeah yeah so it's a bit odd so he's kind of front-footed uh i guess afterwards and

said that he was he crossed the line but it seems like maybe there's more going on yeah as we spoke about in the pod this week uh katie mentioned it's very much could be the tip of the iceberg there could be a lot more behind the scenes often when we see someone come forward like this more people come forward and a, more people come forward. And a few more people have come forward and said, yeah, he's also sent me some really shady DMs. He's denied that an actual affair happened. The model that came out and said that, he DMed her, said that there was an affair.

He said it was just messages. So it's very messy at the moment. Yeah, right. You never want it to be the tip of the iceberg. Yeah. Do you? You never want that term. No.

Well, there's a lot of stuff that comes out. He should have come out and gone, this to be the tip of the iceberg. Do you? You never want that term. Well, there's a lot of stuff that comes out. He should have come out and gone, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Guys, there's a lot. Strap yourselves in. So it raised you, and this is the question you guys were talking about in the podcast, it raised a really interesting point, whether, you know, DMing someone. Is it also crossing the line? Is it kind of like, in a way, is it cheating?

Is it getting close to cheating? I mean, it's kind of a bit of a gray area, as you guys said. It is a gray area, I think, because when it comes to sending like a flirty message over Instagram, there's also a huge sort of scale range of what's kind of flirty and what's really crossing the line. I don't know if you guys saw any of the messages of the screenshots that were sent, but some of them were very interesting, to say the least. They were a bit flawed. You're so effing hot or something, was that? Yeah, yeah. And I wasn interesting to say the least they were a bit

hot or something was that and i wasn't talking about the weather or anything or yeah no it wasn't like how you look really pretty in your latest picture or something it was like quite you know it was definitely on the furthest end i can think of in terms of flirting it's very very suggestive uh so it is one of those things where some people would look at that as as cheating and we talk about emotional cheating as well, if you're building a connection with someone versus an actual physical cheating. But I think it really just depends on maybe the boundaries you set with your partner, perhaps, and what you define that as. Because it is one of those areas that could be interpreted in different ways. Well, it could also be deemed of like, if you're doing something behind your partner's back they don't know about, then you might classify that as cheating, potentially. I mean, you can only imagine how his wife would be feeling through this.

Oh, yeah. Do we know if they're going to name the baby after the... Surely not. I don't think that's going to happen. I thought it was interesting that they're having a baby boy. Oh, yeah. Oh, okay, right. I didn't know that.

Yeah, I was like is that weird to ask a girl if you could name you could tell because I watched her video and she was like

this was the next piece of communication I had with him and it was him asking her like a year after not hearing anything

and you could tell she was a little put off by it yeah you'd be like this is really like a random way to start a conversation again so did you define it as cheating or not if you're DMing someone a little put off by it. Yeah, you'd be like, this is really like a random way to start a conversation again.

Yeah. So did you define it as cheating or not? If you're DMing someone in a flirtatious way, you're not, there's no physical interaction. Yeah.

So you're saying in a flirtatious, it's not just the DMers that you always give me grief because I DM KJ Arpa. It's like, hey man, I love you. You're doing a great show.

You know, you do a great show on Riverdale. Yeah, it got weird when you were like, you're so effing hot. Yeah. I didn't go quite there. Yeah, but he is hot. Let know, you do a great show in Riverdale. Yeah, it got weird when you were like, you're so effing hot. Yeah. I didn't go quite there.

Yeah, but he is hot. Let's be honest. KJ Harper is hot. Yeah. What do you think? Do you think it is? I think in the way Adam Levine's done it, it is. It's cheating.

Yes. In a way. The messages that he's seen and the way it's sort of come out, you look at it, you think, yeah, this is definitely crossing the line. Ben Boyce, where do you see it? Oh, look, I think it's crossing a line. I wouldn't say it was cheating in what I would say, what I would think traditionally would be,

but I wouldn't be happy if I was his wife. I'd be like, this is definitely crossing the line. It's not cheating, but it's definitely a heavy conversation. Yes. A few tennis weeks. You'll claw your way back. I don't know if you claw your way back from that one, that's for sure. Hey, thanks, Rikki.

If people want to check out the podcast, where can they do that? Yeah, they can listen to In The Loop on iHeartRadio or Spotify or pretty much anywhere else you get your podcasts. Oh, good on you, Sheree. Thanks for coming in, mate. Thanks for having me. All right, let's throw it out there. Oh, 800 The Hits, 4487 is our text number.

Is it cheating or not, what Adam Levine is doing? Yeah, get in touch with New Zealand's Breakfast right now. Unload your opinion on Adam Levine and he. Get in touch with New Zealand's Breakfast right now. Unload your opinion on Adam Levine and he'll never hear it. Well if your partner was doing it, not just on DM or maybe a text, a message, whatever would you be happy or not? Would you deem it cheating? We'll f***ing...

Talking a lot about Adam Levine. He'd be happy his private life's been talked about by two... Who are we to talk about his private life? What is Adam Levine doing right now? Well, on the other side of the world, we're talking about him sending spicy messages to Instagram models.

I mean, it's all public. He's like, could you not? Oh, no. Well, it's out there in the news right now because Adam Levine from Maroon 5, the lead singer, my favorite one of Maroon 5 up until now. But he's been sending messages, DMs. He's admitted to sending the DMs.

And one of the models he was sending a DM to has come out with some of the DMs that he was sending. And they're obviously very flirtatious messages. He's saying that's all there was. So let's say that's all that's happened. Is that cheating? Sending flirtatious messages over over social media i'm just looking at all of my dms that i send ben a little videos of kids getting hurt to me

that's pretty much all they are all i said is i follow this wonderful uh wonderful uh what is it an account called kids getting hurt and there's kids falling off skateboards kids falling off piñatas trampolines you name it beds couches and that's that's off skateboards, kids falling off piñatas, trampolines, you name it, beds, couches, and that's pretty much all that's filling up my DMs. I've been thinking you've been flirting with me the whole time, but maybe you haven't been. I don't know.

Let's go to Tony in Tauranga. Sending a DM to someone that's not your partner, a flirty DM, is that cheating? I believe so, yes. I think anything you're hiding from your partner. A flirty DM, is that cheating? I believe so, yes. I think anything, you know, you're hiding from your partner

or, you know, deleting messages, that's, in my eyes, close as cheating. Right. I guess,

yes, if you're having to wipe away evidence, then it's a big red flag. I mean, it's not cheating in the same scale as, you know, smooching with someone or kissing with someone. It's not physically cheating. same scale as, you know, smooching with someone or kissing someone.

It's not physically cheating. I think it's more like a mental side of it. Yeah, I get that. Producer B Humps said it's almost like thinking about murder, but not, you know, planning the murder, but not following through. Very much so. Yeah.

You've got it in you, but you haven't... You're not following through. You haven't acted on that. Well, we're saying in this scenario, from what we know. Exactly. But, you know, you've obviously gone that far to make the first move of touch. Yep. No, I hear you, Tony.

All right, we'll go to Shanley. Sorry, Shanley. Is Shanley how I say your name? Yes. Sorry, Shanley. I had an absolute mare introducing you to the radio. You're in Christchurch. DMs, flirty DMs

to people that aren't your partner. What are you lumping it in? What category? Absolutely. It's emotional cheating. It's basically having an affair that doesn't have physical touch, but you're still putting the time

and effort in mimicking a relationship even though it's through text messaging. So absolutely cheating. Now, I'm not trying to stick up with Adam Levine here. Oh here we go. Okay, can't wait to hear this. No but I'm just saying he has said it was through a difficult time and a difficult stage in his life. So let's say

their relationship was not happening, they were having a break. Would you say it was okay in that situation? Oh you'd have to define the terms and conditions before the break but you could probably see the counsellor if you're having a hard time. Not reach out to a strange woman on social media. Not reach out to hot Instagram models.

Pretty much. For emotional support. They're the great therapists. They're the best therapists in the game. Thank you, Shirley. Appreciate that. And I think it might be a clean sweep. Yeah, you might be right.

I'm trying to play the other side, but it's very hard. Yeah, I know, but you're half-heartedly playing it. Like, if you believe that you can send flirty messages, then stick to your argument. I don't believe it, but I'm just trying to find a scenario where it's okay. We're all too scared to say yes, it's sweet to do. Well, it's not.

GB, we'll get you on. Welcome from Canterbury. You've been in this situation. Yeah, good morning, mate. Yeah, I've done something like that about 14, 15 years ago. And yeah, I believe there's a reason why people do it. Normally, people are unhappy in a relationship. And yeah, that's why they do it. Yeah, no, it's a good one because you're reaching out for other connections, aren't you? You aren't getting home.

Were you the one doing the messaging, were you? Yeah, I was. I was at the time, yes. And did your partner find out? Well, if I'm brutally honest, I was in an extramarital affair with a lady that I did send text messages. Yeah, and

it meant the end of my marriage. Do you regret it? Oh, no. I married this fantastic woman, and we've been married for 10 years, so no, I don't. Oh, yeah, okay. It's definitely crossing the line.

It's crossing the line, but hey. So if that was a great advert for having an affair, I don't know. You couldn't find a better one, really. But now I'm happy. I'm happy now. I'm really happy. I see what you're saying. I won't do it again.

No. Yeah, you weren't happy. It shows the relationship stage. Yeah, but do you regret the affair part? Mate, don't try. I'm just trying to say, do you regret the actions part i'm just trying to say do you regret the actions of having the affair and the hurt that it caused oh oh absolutely mate i went through a unbelievably painful um divorce um it was yeah yeah it wasn't great it wasn't great so but like

i said there's a reason why you you start doing something like that because you crave attention or you're not happy at home or whatnot, you know, so. Well, there you go, the other side of the coin. Thanks for being so open and sharing, GB. Yeah, appreciate it. We do appreciate it. No worries, mate. Have a great weekend.

That. Long weekend of course, Queen Memorial Day on Monday and Daylight Savings Don't forget That's sneaking up on you On Sunday Yeah jeez We didn't

We didn't want the long weekend But I'm glad It is a long weekend Is that okay to say Ben? I guess so Yeah Now yesterday I said

I almost died It was a gross exaggeration I didn't almost die But I was with producer Joel Right And we could have died Joel Living and dying by the sword was with producer joel right and we could have died joel living and dying by the sword mate yeah well yeah i guess so producer joel said oh because where we park our cars is a few blocks away from where the radio station is and he was like i need to go

move my car to the car park i'll give you a lift because i needed to grab something from the vehicle and uh so i was within joel's car now i I know Joel doesn't know how to navigate around the car park. It's quite a confusing car park system, isn't it? There was all sort of one-way roads and all sorts of turns. Multi-levels. It's a wee maze. It reminds me of a very dated reference here of David Bowie's The Labyrinth movie. There's this scene where there's levels of all sorts of things.

Bowie can't figure out where he's on a little girl or something yeah you know what i'm talking about yeah well kind of but yeah again it's very confusing it's like a maze yep and uh so producer joel he's told us before he's like i drive down the wrong way of the one way uh and he does it usually first thing in the morning we're in a safe but yesterday 10.30, 11 o'clock, the car park's obviously peak time and Joel still doesn't know how to navigate his way down. And what do we end up doing, Joel? I know all too well how to navigate the building.

It's just time is the biggest asset at the moment in my life. So we went down, swung a hard left down the one way and then there was a car there so I had to swiftly back up and it almost killed me. Not just down one way ramp, down four. Four one way ramps going the wrong way and it is thrilling, exhilarating. I felt like I was the father driving with my child, teaching them how to drive and pushing the imaginary brake in the footwell. Stop, stop, stop.

Trying to grab the handbrake as well just to slow him down. It must be, and I was like, geez, this must be how Ben feels when he's in my passenger seat. I was like, anything, anything could go wrong at any moment. People pulling out, coming out the rear. Well, I want to do the what, what in your head. You're like, what, what, what, and it comes out with the what comes out with the whoa right at the end when you can't resist it any longer you want to do your woes early in the piece do you but you also you feel like you need to contain them because

you don't want to heighten the situation but i'm no mathematician joel but just given the law of averages one day that's going to go horribly wrong it hasn't so far hey you know what just because we're talking now and potentially the building manager might be listening. Look, I won't do it anymore. I'll abide by the road rules and just take the extra 30 seconds out of my morning. All right, thank you. After 8 o'clock, one of the All Blacks joins us

ahead of what's going to be a huge game. A doubleheader at Eden Park on Saturday. It is the hits you got, Jono and Ben. Baldly going where no show has gone before. How long is it going to take for Ben to make fun of. You've got Jono and Ben. Baldly going where no show has gone before. How long is it going to take for Ben to make fun of my bald head? Jono and Ben on the hits. He's got a huge fight coming up Sunday morning New Zealand time. The winner of this fight, this boxing fight, gets a world title shot.

He's taking on Joe Joyce in the UK. Joseph Parker, Kiwi boxer, joins us right now. How's it going, man? You good? Good, good, good. What's up, what's happening? What's up buddy, how's things? Things are very good, I am ready for this fight this weekend Put in the work, I was just in the tapering off part of the camp now

And I'm very excited for this fight Yeah, I saw a photo of you on your Instagram I was perving at you on your Instagram Jeez, you've got giant pectorals at the moment They are enormous. I've been working on them. So, listen, I'm glad you're able to point that out. He is noticing it.

You guys do some intense stuff for your training. I mean, a while ago, we were looking at a video with Tyson Fury and you guys in camp with like medicine balls being dropped onto stomachs, basically, while you're clenching. I mean, that just seems brutal. It's very brutal. And I'll tell you this, if it looks brutal, imagine how it feels. Yeah.

That was when we were training with Tyson for his fight. But it's good to have Andy Lee in camp with a bit more control and a bit more structure in our training, you know. So he's good. It's good to have him overlook the whole camp. We've had a great camp. Had Andy Lee there working on a lot of things,

a lot of weapons. And then we had Tyson around there joining us in the runs, there for sparring, there for training. And it's great to have him around because he's got this good sort of positive energy and always rubs off on everyone. And just having him around as well helps boost everyone's confidence. Well, I heard you two aren't allowed to fight each other in sparring now because it gets too serious and everyone gets awkward.

Is that true? Listen, we've gone very hard doing body sparring. It's not fun, but it is fun. You know what I mean? I can understand sparring gets awkward. Johnny came over for a spar at my house once and he took his togs off. That was awkward.

But anyway, that was a different sparring. It made you and your wife a bit awkward, didn't it? It did. Yeah, sorry. It did a little bit. Hey, well, the big fight Obviously for you Because the winner's Going to fight

For the world title How much do you think About that Or is that not even On kind of your radar Because you've just Got to win this fight This fight is very important

Because I win this fight I'm locked in for rematch I don't think there should Be a rematch clause In contracts When it's not For the world title But for this fight

The only reason Why we're able to fight Is because I signed The contract And they forced us to a rematch course. So I have to beat him this weekend. I'll beat him again at the end of the year. And then I'm free to fight anyone else and anyone else who wants to. Oh, so you've got to fight him now and before the end of the year. I'm locked into a rematch course.

So when I do beat him, I have to fight him again. Right. The other thing I wanted to ask you too, Joe Parker, the weigh-in. Do you get self-conscious about having to stand on stage on a scale in your underpants in front of hundreds of people with cameras? You know what? Sometimes you do. When you're having a rough day and you're

not really feeling it, you're sort of like, oh my gosh, I have to do this in front of everyone and you haven't shaved your chest and your muscles aren't popping out and they don't have the proper lighting and everything, you're sweating, it's not the best. I know, I mean, like if you had the chance, can I come out fully clothed or in underpants? Like if I don't have to stand in my underpants, it's always going to be better.

What's that, because intense training as we talked about and, you know, imagine there's a strict diet and all those sorts of things, what's the one thing you look forward to the most? You know, before this fight, this is the first time I've actually brought in a chef to cook for me. So he's been here to cook for me every single day, all the meals. What I look forward to after the fight is eating a big burger, juicy burger,

a lot of cheese, mayo, and then I want to go see the family in New Zealand and catch up with them. I've been away for a while now, so it'll be nice to be back home with my wife and kids. Yeah, because you've got young kids, it must be really, really hard to be over the other side of the world and and training and doing your job while your family's on here in new zealand a lot of fighters know it's very hard to be away from family but it's a sacrifice we need to make to get the best out of camp get best out

of yourself and to put on a great performance and then we can all celebrate by going on holiday now how long has it been since you've seen the family? Ten weeks, coming up to ten weeks now. Jesus, a long time. You know you're going to walk home and your partner Laney's going to greet you at the door and just hand you babies.

You know what? She's never done that. When I get home, she licks me wrist. She licks me chill, she licks me wrist. She's a, like, when I get home, she lets me rest. She lets me chill. She lets me rest. She's a beast. And without her, I wouldn't be alive today. So she's very understanding, patient, and very supportive.

And if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be here. Absolutely, mate. Now, you've also dipped your toes in, because we've seen a trailer. Is it for a movie or a TV show? A four-part series or something, is it? I'm in a four-part series called Romeo Hotel 11, where I'm the hitman. I'm called the Kiwi. The Kiwi. The guy goes looking for a hitman

and he finds me and I come in there and destroy him with hammers. You're a great actor. Yeah. Watching the trailer, where's this thing going to be airing? It's going to be, once it's completed, it's going to be airing here in the UK and hopefully back to New Zealand, but it's just good to give something else a go and see if I

can be an actor in the future or not it's just nice to have the opportunity to try things oh mate you looked awesome Dwayne the Rock Johnson watch out

yeah watch out the rock I'm coming hey well Joseph Parker listen good good luck for your fight this weekend ahead of Joe Joyce

We'll be back again next week. Next. The Jono and Ben Podcast. It is the hits. You've got Jono and Ben, of course, a holiday on Monday, daylight savings, and it is a big weekend of sport. And joining us right now to talk more about it, Lauren McGoldrick.

There we go. I'm not going to do a sport voice. I'm not going to do a sport voice. I'm not going to do a sport voice. You did a hybrid of your voice and a sports announcer. I wanted to do a sports announcer, but I've had the passive-aggressive notes. I don't need to talk like a sports commentator when we're doing sport. With Laura McGoldrick, welcome in from the afternoon show. It's a pleasure to have you here.

I can't really do a sport voice, actually. They're so fun to do, though. Yeah, I can see really do a sport voice actually. They're so fun to do though. Yeah, I can see why they do them there. I need to have like a couple of liquid drinks, like things on board before I really get into it. And the more I do, when I'm watching sporting events, I get quite sport broadcaster and people ask me to leave the room.

Now you work with a lot of, you know, wonderful commentators, many who have graced our screens for years. Now when they're talking like this, is that how they're talking off-air as well, or are they a completely different persona? Oh, no, off-air they're completely different. What will shock you is how much,

like sometimes you get to see the commentators on camera when they're really getting into the moment. Well, that's the thing. I imagine as a commentator, you would forget that you're actually there to commentate a lot of the time when a game gets exciting, and that's how you end up going, oh, no, oh, boom, fuck. That's what we would be, oh no! Oh, bumfuck! You know, like that's

what we would be doing on the couch. That's what we would do. I like that about that. Oh yeah, there's that great moment in the 2015 Rugby World Cup final where Justin Marsh was just so damn excited like, yes boy! Yes Brodie! And you're like, well that's a rugby fan, isn't it? We need a bit more. Yeah, I love it. Now as it's a huge week in the sport, we're going to get to that

in just a second, but one of the greatest sporting achievements of late, David Beckham, waiting for how many? I mean, 12, 13 hours, getting punished by a million selfies and news crews from around the world. I mean, that's a great achievement, what he did. I mean, if I didn't have deep, deep, deep feelings for the man before, I sure as hell do now.

I mean, who turns up in a three-piece suit at 2 a.m. to say, well, actually, David Beckham is. And he did this interview and he said he was actually there for his grandparents who couldn't stand in the line. God, the man is an icon. Oh, good Lord. I know. He melted a lot of hearts waiting in line, didn't he?

It was a wonderful play. Do you know what I'm saying? My God. Yeah. Do you know producer Juliette, who used to work on this show, has gone off? She's on super yachts, working on super yachts in Europe. She is currently moored right next to David Beckham.

Did you know that, Laura? I did know that because we have a mutual affiliation. She did send me a message and she said at one point she had to pull herself back when she was about to yell out, well done, I'm waiting to see the Queen. And she thought, well, that's too much even for me. She's taking creepy selfies of him from her boat on his boat. Little videos as well.

Wood dope. Sport this weekend. I mean, particularly at Eden Park this weekend, you've got the All Blacks, you've got the Black Ferns, and you've got the All Whites playing in over two days. I mean, that's awesome. It's amazing. And hats go off to the ground staff at Eden Park

because if you think about it, a rugby ground is a bit different to a football ground. So they have to work overnight to change the post, put the soccer goals in and change all the paint for the line, out of bounds and whatever. So pretty incredible that Eden Park have the capabilities to do that. And they do. It's like it's extraordinary what they do.

So hats off to everyone at Eden Park for getting it done. I'm fizzed up for this weekend. Bloody love the Black Ferns. I'm excited for that. I'm sure they'll get a win in and it'll be nice for them in the build-up to the World Cup, of course. And then the All Blacks taking on Australia.

I mean, the controversy. Will there be more? Will we wipe the floor with them? Or will Australia, who everyone's saying are on the up, will they come out firing after, you know, they were very unhappy the fallout from that referee's call late in that midweek

Blender Blue test has been extraordinary. I don't think I've ever seen anything like it. Look out. I've never thought about that, the lines. Because obviously they would have to paint the rugby field, which is different from their football field. So do they have like a giant eraser that rubs out the paint? I mean, how does that work?

Yeah, yeah, but a twink. They just paint it. I actually think they paint it green, to be perfectly honest. I was about to say, yeah. Oh, that makes a lot more sense. They spray paint it. I actually think they paint it green, to be perfectly honest. I was about to say, yeah. Oh, that makes a lot more sense. They spray paint it green and then go over it again. Yeah, I'll go with the razor option, but hey. Yeah, that sounds way better.

Just 27 grown men going around with a razor. Why don't they just use cones, those little cones that you used to use at school? Yeah. They worked for everyone. And the All Whites football, who are they playing? They're playing Australia on Sunday. They are playing Australia on Sunday. They are playing Australia on Sunday

and that'll be a really interesting game as well. Yeah. Do you like watching football? Yeah, I wouldn't say go out of my way to watch it. I would go watch the All Whites

though, love the Kiwis. Yeah, they have some of the best fans too. I went to one of the Phoenix games at Eden Park when they played up here and they just sing along,

they take the tops off, they're just really getting into it. A lot of shirtless stuff as well and I noticed waving his shirt around like a helicopter. Yeah, the helicopter, it's a ballsy play in any sporting event, just to whip it off and spin it around. Because then you've got that awkward moment of like, have I done with time now?

Can I put a pick on? Laura McGoldrick, we love catching up with you. You can catch up with Laura and Brad this afternoon on The Hits. Have a great weekend. Enjoy. Thank you so much, you guys. Take afternoon on The Hits. Have a great weekend. Enjoy. Thank you so much, you guys. Take care.
