Jono, Ben & Megan - The Podcast - FULL: I Was Today Years Old When I Found Out... That A Game Of TAG Stands For Touch And Go!

Episode Date: July 12, 2021

We played a fun game of "I was today years old when I found out". We found out a whole new meaning to the "why did the chicken cross the road" joke, what CLUB in Club sandwich stands for, and tricks you can do on your iPhone! We also caught up with former Olympian Caroline Evers-Swindell, one of the twins in NZ's famous rowing double. She was hilarious to chat to, did you know she never even told her children about her achievements, they found out at school!? So funny!

John O' and Ben, new to your mornings. Friends of Skinny, New Zealand's most recommended telco. Happy, happy, happy, oh, oh. Just when you thought you couldn't get enough of John O' and Ben, you can have them anywhere, anytime. Welcome to the John O' and Ben podcast. Welcome along to the podcast. Podcast coming to you from the warehouse store in Christchurch this morning. We've just been doing the show here

for the last few hours. It's been fun. We've been in front of the jewellery section and the fragrance section, Ben Boyce. Jeez, I tell you what, there's a lot of fragrances out there in the market, isn't there? I just sprayed some jupe onto my neck. Doesn't that bring back memories of 10 to 15 years ago?

I've got something for you right now. You know how sometimes you see a photo of someone and they're wearing clothes that they wouldn't normally be wearing, you're like, who is that person? Someone I've seen many times. Someone I've actually just walked past a picture of in the warehouse before. The person in the middle. Who's that?

The guy in the middle? Yeah. Is that Anthony? No, that's Michael Bublé. That's a trick of a card No, that's Michael Bublé. Is that Michael Bublé? On his Instagram account. Now, I've never seen

Michael Bublé in shorts. What's Michael Bublé doing in the warehouse Blenheim Road crushes? No, I just walked past his album over in the warehouse. Yeah,

but I'm showing you on his Instagram. It's funny because I've never seen Michael Bublé not in a suit. He's got very pasty legs. He's wearing shorts

and a t-shirt and sunglasses. I think I might have met someone with whiter legs than me. I know, I was like who's this guy here, who am I following on my Instagram account, it's Michael Bublé and what Bublé's done here is he's got his, looks like his arms around his

mother and father is it? Yeah, it's a lovely shot. It's a lovely shot but it's interesting it's like Winston Peters, I think we said that the other day if you saw Winston Peters in board shorts you'd be like who's this guy? You know, because you always see him in a suit and tie. Winston Peters goes to the beach in January in a suit, in a full suit. He sunbathes in a suit. He goes yachting in a suit.

Jet-geeing in a suit, that's right. Ashley Bloomfield would be another one as well. Imagine seeing him in a rocket. I could imagine him in, I could imagine Bloomfield. You know, he's at the public pools or something, you know? Yeah, I could imagine him in some athletic. I imagine he runs a lot, Bloomfield. I could imagine him in some, like imagine Bloomfield. You know, he's at the public pools or something, you know? Yeah, I could imagine him in some athletic. I imagine he runs a lot, Bloomfield. I could imagine him in some, like, you know, short running shorts and, you know, a light top.

You know, the ones that aren't too heavy. Yeah, the breathable ones. Yeah, and like a running cap that wraps around his head. Oh, yeah. And maybe a hat with a flap. You know, one of those little hat flap, those sort of situations. Very health conscious, I imagine there, Director of Health. So we've been here at the warehouse all morning because we've started our battery-operated torch tour.

How are you, mate? How are you going? Yeah, good, thanks. But how are you, kids? Do you want to come and have a talk on our podcast intro? No one listens to it, don't worry. No, I want to be. If it was Conan O'Brien's, maybe I'd be a part of that. Or Joe Rogan.

They want to be part of this. But yeah, we're doing this torch tour, the battery-operated torch tour. We're shining a light on the fact that the Olympic torch didn't go around. But ours is. And we will not stop until Friday when we're on annual leave. After, well, after, yeah. Friday night we'll stop. I'll probably stop Friday midday, to be honest.

Have we got any commitments after midday? No, but the torch carries on. The torch carries on. We won't. So when I say we won't stop, weday to be honest. Have we got any commitments after midday? No but the torch carries on. The torch carries on. We won't. So when I say we won't stop we will definitely be stopping

but the torch will not stop. I think a torch stops on Monday. But anyway we're getting into details right now. The torch is going

to run out of batteries. Have you thought about what happens if it runs out of batteries? We're in a warehouse I can see a battery

centre in front of me. Have you ever done the biting of the battery to just get an extra bit of life out of it? Yes, you have. Yeah, I probably have back in the day,

but I wouldn't do it now. I don't know. Why wouldn't you do it now? What does it matter? People worry about battery acid coming through. Oh, do they? Yeah. Everyone's always worrying about something.

Aren't they? When was the last time you bit a battery? Live a little bit. Live a little bit, mate. Do you remember you used to lick them? Yeah, I was just going to say that. Yeah, people would lick, yeah. Have you licked a battery before producer B helps? Yeah. Why used to lick them? Yeah, I was just going to say that. Have you licked a battery before producer B-Hubs? Yeah. Why would you lick them? The rush. Tingling sensation.

What's a tingling sensation? I'm sure licking batteries is not advised, is it? It's a top dollar for that in some of the places that you can frequent in the weekend. Have you licked a battery before, Max? For a tingling sensation? That is not a thing. Millennial Max says he's never licked a battery. Well, we're going to change that right now in the warehouse. I don't think the warehouse ought to be responsible for that. Actually, we had a fun show this morning where we used Millennial Max because a lady phoned up and said the numbers on the side of a toaster with the dial were directly linked to the amount of minutes that the toaster would be down for.

We tested that theory. Did it work? We'll find out in the podcast. Enjoy. Jono and Ben's Torchlight on Tokyo. That's right. That sounds good. Torchlight on Tokyo.

Very impressive title there. Now, we are going to be talking to some athletes who are heading to Tokyo and some athletes who have been to previous Olympic Games all of this week as we travel throughout Aotearoa. And today, tell you what, big name, Ben Boyce. Oh, yeah, one of the New Zealand sporting Olympic legends, Eva Swindell twins. I mean, that's all you need to say. Rowing Eva Swindell twins, won two gold medals, 2004-2008.

And Caroline Eva Swindell joins us right now. Now known as Caroline Meyer. How are you? Good, thank you. Yeah, no busy. No parent to three, so just a different life to the one that I had before that was rowing. Oh, now you used to row boats. Now you row, row your boat gently down the stream singing nursery rhymes to babies.

Yeah, that's it. Yeah, well, it must be quite a change. What are you, your sister as well? What's she up to these days? No, much the same. Georgie's much the same. We've got three children each, and they're about the same age. And, yeah, it's just busy.

It's very easy to forget that we were once rowers, and I guess it's times like this that you are reminded of that. But, yeah, no, completely different life. Are you saying we're, like, wheeling you out? You'd rather just leave that life behind, but then desperate, a completely different life. Are you saying we're, like, wheeling you out? You'd rather just leave that life behind, but then desperate radio shows phone you up to relive your past. Let's start at the start.

I mean, you are the younger twin by four minutes. Is that right? Yeah. Do you rub that in your sister's face? You're like, all right, okay, boomer and stuff like that to her? No, I'm more mature than that. Okay, that's what I would be doing. But then I was reading yesterday, just looking through,

you started rowing at age 14. You made the New Zealand squad first, and then your sister comes on in a couple of years later and says she wants to take up rowing. Were you like, hang on, this is my thing? It was, pretty much. In fact, I was worse than that. There were tantrums, and there were agreements signed. And yeah, no, I didn't want her anywhere near the sport.

Right, OK, so she got in on your rowing game. But then obviously somewhere along the line, you guys decided to team up together. And boy, that was successful. Yes, well, actually, that wasn't my plan. But rowing New Zealand's best, Caroline, you can go to Junior Worlds with your sister in a double scale, or you can not go at all. So I dropped my bottom lip for a few days. But yeah, you know, it is what it is.

But now, obviously, then I became very grateful to be able to row with Georgia. Yeah. I love it how she was never part of your plans. You were out for a solo career. Solo career. Solo. But you were going to be the champion of the family. She comes along. Yeah, no, but you were going to be the champion of the family. She comes along.

Yeah, no, you've summed that up well. Now, looking back, because obviously the Olympics is coming up, and looking back, you guys, 2004 Athens, your first gold, and then again, four years later. I mean, does it feel like a distant memory, or are there still some things that are really vivid? Oh, no, it just, honestly, guys, it's's been so long and the last, I guess, 10 years have been so full on that it's hard to even think that we were there. I'm excited about watching the Olympics.

I love watching sport. I think I know one person or two people in the team this year, but I don't really have much to do with, I don't really have much to do with, I don't really have anything to do with rowing. Hang up on her. Hang up on her. She's got nothing to do with rowing. Why are we talking to her?

What did you do with the medals? Obviously you guys won two gold medals in both Olympics. What do you do? Where are they now? They are in a drawer in a little sunglass case. Really? They're not on display? Not on display.

We're hoping for some sort of grandiose room. A room dedicated to your Olympic glory. Okay, well, let's go. Okay, you won a couple of golds, which is amazing. But you also had a park named after you guys in Hawke's Bay. It's got a playground, public toilets, picnic tables. How often do you swing by the Everswindale Reserve in Hawke's Bay? Yeah, no, not enough, not enough.

I have another question. Do you still love to boogie, jitterbug boogie? Because you guys, you did the beef and lamb commercials for many years. Yes. What was the wildest thing that happened to you during those years Because you guys, you did the beef and lamb commercials for many years. Yes. What was the wildest thing that happened to you during those years in terms of sponsorship or events that you had to go to? Or maybe someone you met? I'm going to disappoint you again.

I can't, I can't. Look, I'm sorry. There may have been something amazing, someone that amazing that I met. I just can't. Yeah, I'm sorry listen have you blacked

this part of your life out have you erased it from your memory you know you're really you're very successful in it you know it was like you achieved

two Olympic golds would it explain things if I said I hadn't had my coffee today I think sports champions of the decade at the Helberg Awards You did some stuff I always remember I just remember that sitting in the Helberg Awards

And you're looking around the room And you're just surrounded by legends of the sport But as I said, it's very easy And honestly guys, just forget that part of my life. It's not about me anymore. It's about three children. How old is your oldest kid now at the moment? Ten.

So does your child know that, you know, that mummy was a double Olympic gold medalist? He was told at school because he had just started school at Rio, which must have just started school at Rio, which must have been 2016, was it? Yeah. And so he was pretty excited. He came home and said,

Mum, do you know that you want to go real quick? Hold on, you hadn't relinquished this information yourself. And then the next day he came home and said, Mum, do you know that you had a photo with the flag with Aunty George? And then it was like, we're the afternoon tea He's like, why haven't you told me this information? I love it You're a sporting legend

It's such an honour to talk to you today And to find out what you're up to And to find out that you've also forgotten a lot about what you did. I tell you what, shall I send you some YouTube links? No, thank you. You can play that to your kids and go, hey, look, there's mummy and auntie. Well, lovely to talk to you and, yeah, all the best. Jono's Internet Wormhole.

These 29 mind-blowing Olympic facts. These facts are so good, you'll want to urine test them afterwards just to make sure they are legitimate. Did you know the gold medals are mostly made of silver? Oh, really? Not gold. If they were to be made of pure gold, they would cost $33,000 each. Per medal.

So they have a percentage as laid out in the Olympic Charter with six grams of gold to meet the Olympic requirements of a gold medal. So, I mean, Jack O'Gill's not, he's not whipping over to the reputable gold house opposite the casino, is he? Just to sell it afterwards. If anything, it might get him another 45 minutes on the pokies. But it's not going to get him a full-blown gold sale. So they're called, well, I guess gold-painted, gold-dipped sort of thing. But there's silver underneath it.

And they hand out so many of them, it would sink the Olympics. Like, we can't put on an Olympics. They'll be killing sports and killing events. No one wins gold. They haven we can't put on an Olympics. They'll be culling sports and culling events. No one wins gold. They haven't been fully gold since 1912, so there was a time. Oh, there was a wild time when they were gold. Wow. Imagine, those would be worth now, the 1912 ones.

Only three Olympic Games have ever been cancelled. Oh, really? And it certainly wasn't going to be Tokyo, even though the masses wanted it to be. No. And they've all been due to wars, World War I and World War II, which cancelled 1940 and 1944. They were kind of having their own little competition at the time, weren't they? Yeah.

Only one person has ever won gold medals in the Summer and Winter Olympics. Oh, that's fascinating. Yeah, an American guy whose name was Eddie Egan, and he took home golden boxing in the Summer Games and then was in the toboggan team as well. And that was my job as a newly New Zealand tall poppy chopper. Stay in your lane, mate. It's either tobogganless lane, probably the toboggan lane.

You've got to pick a lane. And here's one that you'll enjoy, mate. Gymnastics. When they first started out in the Greek times, we competed in the complete news. Naked gymnastics.

What? Here's one you'll like. We know what he's like, don't we, G? Yeah, yes. I know, I know. Sorry, my microphone was off. Yeah. It's all right. So, yeah, the gymnast, well, it comes from the Greek word gymnos,

which means nude. Really? So the gymnasium is a school for naked exercise. It just seems like another thing to have to contend with out there, you know? The gymnast dicks. Oh, God. Oh, no. Start getting in the way. Anyway, but anyway, you know? The gymnast dicks. Oh, God. Oh, no. Start getting in the way.

Anyway, but anyway, I know Ben's been, you've been doing it old Greek style for a while at Snap Fitness. Although you get removed for lewd behaviour. Oh, I am. You're like, this is OG Greek. This is old school. This is how they did it back in the day. And that is a very interesting wormhole.

We must do some more of that over the week. Oh, jeez, you want more? I want more Olympic facts over the week. That was really interesting. Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime. Just search Jono and Ben on Facebook. Now, over the weekend, I went to an outlet mall in Auckland.

And an outlet mall I've been to many times before, but I hadn't realised that I'd been saying the name of the mall wrong. Now, the mall is called Dress Smart. Right. But I've been saying... It's Dress Mart. It's not. It's Dress Smart.

Yeah, but I've been saying Dress Mart. Like, it's like... Dress Paws Mart, when it's actually Dress Paws Smart. Yeah. I always thought it was Dress Paws Mart. Because Dress Mart sounds like a mall. Yeah, like it's a mart full of, yeah, but it's Dress Smart. So it's telling you you can dress smart in this mall.

But I always thought it was a mall. Yeah, so I've been saying it wrong. Who corrected you? Oh, me, because I saw it on the sign. I was like, oh, the sign that says that. Yeah, but yeah, it was one of those things that you discover and you're like, well, I was, and to coin something that goes around on memes,

I was today years old when I found out that it was called Dress Smart. Yeah, I was talking to a friend about this the other day with Ray-Ban sunglasses. They ban the Rays. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh. They ban the Rays. I thought a guy like, that was his name. I thought a guy like that was his name.

I thought his name was Ray Bair. He's like, I was exactly the same. Honestly, I do, without a word of a lie. So that's what we thought we'd do this morning on 0800THETHATS. Or 4487 on the text. I was today years old when... What did you just discover recently? You're like, oh, my goodness.

I didn't know that. I saw there was someone on my social media over the weekend was posting the same thing. The chicken crossing the road. Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side. I always thought it was just to get to cross the other side of the road. But to get to the other side is meaning to go to the other side is in death. That's the punchline.

The chicken's knowingly going, this is it. Oh, my God. If that's true, I was thinking, oh, it's a pretty lame joke. And, I mean, I'm responsible for many, many lame jokes over the years. But, yeah, apparently that's the punchline. That's dark undertones. I was like, well, this isn't funny at all. Shook it's jumped out into oncoming traffic.

To get to the other side. Yeah, because it's crossing the road. Maybe not knowingly, but just knowing that getting to the other side is going to be. I never thought about it. Neither did I. Never thought about it. Okay, I. Never thought about it. Okay, 0800 The Hits. Let's open this up, eh, Aotearoa?

Join us on New Zealand's Breakfast. I was today years old when I learned... I just learned to tie my shoelaces today. Up until now, I've been running Velcro. Well, yeah, but maybe something that most... No, that's fine. Okay, that's fine. Will that do?

Yeah, that's good. Can I be part of the gang? I like your Ray-Ban one a little bit. That was really good. So, 0800 The Hits, 4487, what did you just discover recently? You're like, oh my goodness. Am I the only one that didn't know that? Your Ray-Ban one.

The Ray-Bans ban the Rays. This is like that moment we discovered that Flo Rida, the rap-a-da, the rap-a, the rap-a-da, the Flo Rida, the rapper, his name is Flo. Flo Rida, that was. Where he's from. Flo Rida. Flo Rida, Millennial Max, who's here, his mouth has just hit the floor of the warehouse. Yeah, yeah. There's a dribble on aisle three, bit of a clean up there.

Yeah. There's a lot going on. Yeah, but the Ray-Bans one's interesting. It's like dyslexic though, isn't it? You surely want to be calling them band rays? Yeah, but Ray-Bans one's interesting. It's like dyslexic, though, isn't it? You surely want to be calling them band rays? Yeah, but Ray-Bans sounds cool, though. I know.

It'd be like feet sores for... So you don't get sore feet for shoes if you're going to rebrand shoes. It wouldn't make sense. Let's go to the phone, shall we? We've got Caitlin with us on 0800 The Hits. Morning, Caitlin. How are you? Oh, mate, we're doing well. We're doing well.

Couldn't be happier. Good. What have you just discovered? I was today years old when I found out. I was, last week I was talking to the boys at work, and I just discovered that the dials on a toaster are actually for minutes. I just thought they were for like levels or whatever. Oh, oh.

Got lost for a second. Oh, aren't they? I thought they were for heat intensity level purposes as well. Yeah, yeah, that's what I thought. But anyway, apparently it's minutes. It's the minutes. Oh, Millennial Max, you're shaking your head saying that's not true. I feel like we need to time this.

Yeah, okay. We'll get a toaster for the warehouse. We'll get one. Go get a toaster, mate. We'll try it right now. Okay, go on. Make yourself useful. Find a toaster, Max. Get a toaster. You're the one shaking your head on this one. Go get a toaster, mate. We'll try it right now. Go on. Make yourself used to it. Find a toaster, Max.

Get a toaster. You're the one shaking your heads on this one. Go get a toaster. We'll test that out, Caelan. That's very interesting. There's some great text coming through. Tag apparently stands for the game Tag, Touch and Go. People discovering.

I didn't know that. The game of Tag, Touch and Go. When you count numbers, your lips don't touch each other until they reach one million. So if you count one, two, three, four, five. I feel sorry for the person who dedicated a large portion of their life to finding that out. I wonder when my lips will first touch if I begin counting. What are you up to now? They still haven't touched.

Do you want to come out for dinner? No, no. Not until they touch. 992,000. Isn't that to come out for dinner? No, no. Not until they tell you. $992,000. Isn't that all in your lip technique, though? Surely you can make your lips touch to say one. Pooh. I don't know, maybe.

Someone else is just texting as well. Did you know pineapples grow on bushes? No, I didn't. I thought it'd be a tree situation with a pineapple. Thank you for that, Chris. That's really good. I was today years old when I found out that almonds grow on trees. Oh, do they?

I never really thought where, I'd known the origin of almonds and where they come from. But yeah, they're on trees. I just threw that, I thought they grew inside a plastic container in my cupboard. Oh, I didn't know this one. Club sandwich? Okay, club sandwich stands for chicken, lettuce, under bacon. Thank you, Tino, text 34487.

We're learning some stuff this morning. It's almost too much stuff, isn't it? It's just like a big unload of stuff. Remember we sent Max off to get a toaster. He's always left for a toaster. I don't know why. Let's get Olivia on the air. Welcome, Olivia.

How are you? Good. I was today years old when I found out what? That if you text pew-pew, like P-E-W, to other iPhone users, you can send laser beams. Oh, okay, okay. I'll text it to you, John. You're all right. Okay.

Okay. We'll see if this is true, Olivia. Am I meant to be getting something now? Yeah. Pew-pew. All right. Now I'll open up the text from Ben Boyce Oh there's lasers

You're right Is there lasers? Oh there's lasers Oh wow That seems like a function That an Apple employee came up with And then got subsequently fired For coming up with crappy ideas

Yeah oh look he got lasers on there Yeah no it's pretty good That's pretty good Text pew pew to another iPhone user Oh it did work Full lasers I guess there's nothing here I just get pew pew-pew on the text with that. And a Tesla, too, apparently, if you push a button, you can have the whole car dancing as well,

with doors opening and shutting and the bonnet opening and shutting and the car starts twerking on you. I don't know why you need that, but it's a pretty cool function. There, thank you very much for your calls and texts. New Zealand really appreciate it. And, I don't know, we sent Max off to get a toaster and he hasn't returned. So we'll test this toaster technique. If the dial on the side of a toaster represents minutes, not heat intensity. Two dads just trying to fill some air time.

Some may say it's pointless, but the main thing is it fills in some air time for us. That is the main thing. John and Ben, breakfast on the hits. So you know how you can reply to a message nowadays and your phone will offer up suggestions of what you can reply back? It does it on email as well too now too. I know sometimes if you use your Gmail, it'll give you options down the bottom to click on. Yeah, it'll be like, sure thing!

Exclamation mark. Copy that. Things like this. But then you know when you've been, you know when someone's just gone, oh, you copy that, you know? You know? You got annoyed with me because i send you like that sounds good or something that was pretty generic the other day you're like i've seen him like a three-page test sounds good copy that one um but now the responses or the replies that your phone is offering up to you, they're personalised now.

And my phone yesterday came up with, do you want to reply with bloody legend? Which is something that you bandy around and it's lost all meaning now. And so I'm like, am I saying bloody legend so much that even my phone's like, well, you're probably going to reply to this with bloody legend, exclamation mark. Yeah, yes, you do. We've talked about this before because the legendary things are like, well, you're probably going to reply to this with bloody legend, exclamation mark. Yeah, yes, you do. We've talked about this before because the legendary things are like Ed Hillary climbing Mount Everest or Kate Shepard, you know, like, you know, doing all the great stuff, you know, getting women to vote. But, you know, but now you're like someone will give you your car keys or anything. You're like bloody legend, mate.

Well, I just want to know, like, to you, what justifies legendary status? I just gave you two examples. Larry K. Shepard. Two examples on top of you. They're legions. Harriet just got you a coffee. Is she a bloody legend? No, but she's great.

She's great. I appreciate the coffee. So I called you a bloody legend, Harriet. He said you're great. That was a lovely, wonderful gesture, and I really appreciated it. But I'm not putting her on a $5 note. Am I too fast and loose with Bloody Legend? But I'm like, hey, don't get me wrong, it was a wonderful, wonderful gesture,

and I appreciated it. Yeah, I think so. You are fast and loose with it. Like, if you were putting her on the $5, $10, whatever. Well, I'm a bit self-conscious about it now, because even my phone's saying, well, you're going to spend, I must say Bloody Legend a lot. If now my phone's saying, well, you're going to spare, I must say bloody legend a lot. If now my phone's going, you're going to reply to every email with bloody legend.

You've just been fired, Jono. Bloody legend, mate. Good on you, getting stuff done. Cut and trim in the fat. Jono and Ben, or as they're known in the office, those two. Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast on the hits. Now, I read over the weekend that rapper Drake went on a date and hired out the entire Dodgers stadium where they play,

the Los Angeles Dodgers play baseball. He hired out the whole stadium for his date. Where did he have dinner? Out on the field. They had a table set up there on the field, and, yeah, there was no one else really in the stadium, but those two just for a date. Oh, nothing screams romance than a giant, cold, empty stadium.

And do you still get to use the urine-soaked lavatories? I guess that's part of the... You get the whole experience? You get the whole experience. But I mean, it's not special. Everyone's gone on a date to a stadium, except I just had 35,000 other people there. Yeah, well, Troy, that's probably...

You're right. It's an exclusive date for the stadium. Jesus, God above me on, though. You hear stories like this and ask me, immortals, we can never reach romance heights like that. We can never book out Eden Park for our exclusive dates, can we? No. What's the most romantic thing

you've done, Ben? Well, it's probably, it was all provided by the city, but yeah, I ended up taking a ring over to propose to Amanda. Your first wife? Yeah, no, still my wife. I was trying to say, she wasn't even my fiancé then. That's what confused me.

She was just my girlfriend at the time. So I proposed to her in Rome on her birthday in front of the Trevi Fountain. So it was all put on by Italy. Like, Italy did all the hard, you know. Thank you, Italy. They did it all. Grazie, grazie. I did that bit there because there was quite a lot of tourists around and I was like,

you know, I proposed. The man is like, oh, you didn't go, you didn't get down on your knee. So I was like, oh, I should, you know, should do that again to get down on my knee. Oh, you did a take two. Well, kind of a take two as a little, you know, you didn't get on your knee. So I did it. And then there's people selling, there's people trying to sell roses and stuff around there. As soon as they saw someone on the...

Oh, they're like... They're like flies over a barbecue on the... They're like, flies over a barbecue in summer. They're like, here we go, this guy's going to buy plenty. He's going to buy plenty. Oh yeah, so suddenly we're surrounded by... Open up a can of worms. Like a wounded antelope.

Oh, here we go. This guy's proposing. Okay, well we wanted to open up this morning on New Zealand's Breakfast. What is the most romantic... Who on New Zealand's Breakfast. What is the most romantic, who is New Zealand's most romantic person? Maybe they took you on a date, maybe you can nominate yourself

too. The problem is though, when you hire out a stadium, Drake's just done, an entire stadium, the next time you go to the Valentine's Seafood Buffet, all you can eat, it's who stepped down. He's set the bar too high now. Yeah, what do you do for date number two?

It's like, oh, no, the date was good. Let's go on another date. You're like, oh, another one. Now I'd like to go to Madison Square Garden, thank you. You know, when does the madness stop? Yeah, a friend of mine, actually, I was telling you about this the other day, he always puts petrol in his wife's car. She's never once put petrol. Like, you know, that's a gesture.

That's a romantic gesture. And nothing screams romance like unleaded petrol. I've always said that. 98, though. 98, not 91. The top stuff. Coming in with the good stuff. It's premium.

It's premium. My ex-girlfriend just got diesel. Car wasn't even diesel. That's why she dumped me. Because I ruined her whole system. Okay. Oh, I don't know. That's why she dumped me, because I ruined her whole system. Okay. Oh, I don't know. That's the telephone number.

The most romantic New Zealander. New Zealand and romance don't traditionally go hand in hand. I feel like this may not go well, this phone topic, but we'll find out. You prove us wrong. Oh, 800 of the hits. We're looking for New Zealand's most romantic gesture after rapper Drake hired out Dodgers baseball stadium in L. in LA over the weekend for his date. What I love about Drake is he's a rapper, but he's a pussycat, isn't he?

He's just a sweet little guy. Maybe he was obsessively, almost embarrassingly in love with Rihanna. And she just wasn't having a bar of it. But he's like, no, no, no. We've always loved you. Remember he'd go and do something weird at the mtv awards there i was like oh drake mate yeah anyway he's a lovely guy he does seem like a lovely guy so he's hired out an entire stadium so we're after new zealand's most romantic new zealander that's right new zealand's most romantic new zealand uh i would have dropped off one of those New Zealands, but I decided not to.

Just ploughed on through. Let's go to the phones on 0800, the hits, and welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast. Is it Mariam? Yes, hi. How are you, Mariam? Lovely to have you on the show, mate. You want to nominate someone

as New Zealand's most romantic New Zealander? Yeah, my husband. How about you guys? Oh, your husband. What's the most romantic thing your husband's done for you so um when he proposed to me he hired out eden at mount eden stadium and park yeah i think i remember seeing this this was in the news right it is in the news yeah and um he put me into a helicopter and we landed in the stadium and he had my favourite car wrapped in my favourite colour

with all my family and friends and then he got down on one knee. Oh, yeah, I'm just looking at it like, look at this online. Ben's showing me photos as we speak in real time. This is happening, Miriam. So you've got a pink Range Rover. Pink Range Rover with your licence plate, your name on it. I do, yes. He had your blindfolded on the helicopter, so you didn't know,

he had no idea where you were going and what was happening. No, no. He told me we were going to a media event and then we were going to have a date night because we hadn't gone out in so long. And I remember when he picked me up, I was like, oh, my God, I actually can't be bothered going to this media event, can you? He was like, yeah, I know, but let's just go. And I was like, yeah, okay.

And, yeah, I felt really bad after everything. Yeah, I almost pulled out of that one. Wow. Now, there's another photo here that he's provided. A thousand roses? He has, yes, for Valentine's Day. A thousand. Oh, jeez.

I mean, if... Do you want to know, Miriam, and this will probably impress you, being a receiver of romance over the years, the most romantic thing I did was I put an engagement ring on a piece of Marmite toast. And I gave that toast. That's so cute. It's not a helicopter to Eden Park, is it? No, it's not a big Range Rover.

Oh, no, I still think it's very unique and special. That's really cute. If anything, it's a huge choking hazard. And she ended up with sort of black stuff all over her fingers. But what a story. What a story. Almost as good as that. Wow, that's so cool that you've experienced this.

Amazing. Really cool. If people want to follow you on Instagram, they can look at this themselves. What's your Instagram? My Instagram is Mariam Matty. That's M-A-R-Y-A-M M-A-T-T-I-I.

That's very impressive. Thank you for taking time to join the show this morning, Mariam. Appreciate it. Thank you for having me. Have an awesome week. You too, mate. You too. Let's get Aaron on the air. Welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast. Azza, how are you, mate? You're all right.

What's the most romantic thing you've done, Aaron? Am I just talking to a guy and he's not responding? This is like Fight Club again. He's like, I do not talk about this. Apparently, according to the notes, he sent Mr. Whippy to his girlfriend's workplace. That is a lovely gesture. You hear about those when the movie stars do that. They're like, oh, the crew worked so hard, so I hired Mr. Whippy to come and do the work.

What are you going to do for this crew with us here today, Ben, at the end of this week? There's catalogues from the warehouse. They all get a free catalogue. You can all share one fruit juice. Have a lick each. And we'll get Natasha. Oh, now, Natasha's joining us from a company called Romantic Gestures. How are you, Natasha?

Great. How are you guys? Oh, we're good. So you do Romantic Gestures. I hope you do. You've got a very misleading business title. Yes. No, we certainly do.

So you would help people organise something like we heard before, like a proposal on Eden Park? Absolutely, yes. Although I'm not sure I can top that one because I did follow that one very closely and I was very impressed. Oh, it's amazing, is it? The one that we've had very, well, not very similar, but similar is, unfortunately, it was an international client for our marriage proposal that we did in Christchurch. Oh, and what did the international client want to do? And so the brief was that on the last day we were in New Zealand before they flew out,

he wanted to propose to his girlfriend. And so I came up with the proposal and we went with it. So if you can imagine you waking up in a beautiful boutique, B&B in Akaroa. I'm there already. Am I here? I'm there already. It sounds great. Yeah, carry on.

And you're suddenly escorted up the hill to what is waiting. The helicopter is waiting for you. Now, each leg of the journey, she's receiving a red envelope and a red rose. And the next envelope is giving her the clue to the next part of the journey. Oh, stop it. Yes, I do. I do, Natasha. Too soon. Too soon.

Okay, sorry. There's more planned. Wait, wait, wait. So she's hopping on the helicopter. She's being helicoptered over to Christchurch where she lands. We're at Chrysler. Gerrit's limousine is waiting her arrival, their arrival. Oh, stop it. They hop into the limo and then they're taken down to Periscan Resort

where they enjoyed a lovely couple's massage. Oh. Now, the whole time this was happening, they're being photographed and videoed in secret. The videographer is driving them each step of the way. No, no. To get their reaction at the end.

Personal or professional? Professional. They enjoy their couple's massage and then they're driven into Christchurch to a garden, a private garden area on the outskirts of Christchurch and awaiting them is an acapella group that we have redesigned and reimagined

a song that he chose that we saw and they rewrote and there is a beautiful picnic setting with a private chef ready to serve them in this style setting in the garden. So you put that together and it was just the most amazing day

and they absolutely loved it and it all came together so well and we were so grateful to be a part of the meeting. Oh, and you charged them a buttload of money. Good on you. Unfortunately, she said no at the end of it. It was a bit of a downer at the end of the day. That is really impressive. Hey, if anyone wants to get in touch with you, Natasha,

how do they get hold of Romantic Gestures? Well, we've got the website, romanticgestures.co.nz. We've got the Instagram page. It's romantic underscore gestures underscore nz. Well, I tell you what, nothing more romantic than Ben and myself this morning waking up in a giant, empty, freezing cold warehouse in the warehouse on Blenheim Road in Christchurch. You have a great day, Natasha. Really appreciate your call.

You too. Thanks, guys. New Zealand your call. You too. Thanks, guys. New Zealand, this is your breakfast. With Jono and Ben's battery-operated torch tour, broadcasting live from the warehouse Blenheim Road store in Christchurch. Good morning, New Zealand. Welcome along to the show. This morning, as the guy with the great voice said,

we're down in Christchurch from the Blenheim Road store, broadcasting this morning on our Torch Tour. You know the guy with the great voice has a name, Ben? You can't just keep calling him the guy with the great voice. It's getting weird around the office. Hey guy with the great voice, how was your weekend? No, very excited, yes. We're on the battery-operated

Torch Tour with the Warehouse, obviously proud supporters of the New Zealand Olympic team. And I said, obviously, like everyone should know that. It's a given. And we're launching this wonderful campaign with a torch tour throughout Aotearoa. You can come down from 8 o'clock this morning, have a photo with the torch, have a photo with two crap liberties, have a photo with an EFTPOS machine. I don't know what you want to have a photo with, but you get in the draw.

Well, you get in the draw for $10,000 if you get a photo with the torch this morning, as well as plenty of spot prizes with Sports Gear from the warehouse just outside the store this morning. Do you know, it's quite surreal. We are broadcasting inside. We're in front of the jewellery section. So, Ben, if you wanted to take our relationship to the next level today, now would be the time and place to do something special. I'll nudge you in the right direction.

But it's quite surreal broadcasting in a giant warehouse, isn't it? Yeah. Empty. It's empty. Just bargains as far as the eye can see. Yeah, so plenty of spot prizes as well as $10,000. You'll be in the draw today. So you come down and see us this morning and who knows,

it might be Bob buying you some of that jewellery. Yes, he might be down on one knee by 9 o'clock. A bit of a champagne radio proposal, ladies and gentlemen. We've got plenty more as well as $5,000 with five words for 5K. So stick around. It is the hits. You've got Jono and Ben. Ben and Jono call this show Jono and Ben.

Breakfast on the hits. The hits. First day of school holidays. The first official day, I guess, of school holidays this morning. So it's going to be a bit quieter on the roads this morning. I do like that. And I say this every time. Why are we sending the kids to school? All they do is clog up the roading system.

Despite the fact that none of them are driving, it's always busy on the roads. Yeah, just anything. Just let YouTube teach them. Anything they want to know, they can find out at the click of a button, Ben. Anyway, we flew to Christchurch yesterday, and Millennial Max, who's a part of a button, Ben. Anyway, we flew to Christchurch yesterday, and Millennial Max, who's a part of the program, a young, sprightly millennial, blemish-free skin.

Doesn't he have wonderful skin, Max? He does. He is also coincidentally flying to Christchurch to see his whanau, and he sent us a photo from the airport at midday. Now, our flight was until about 4 o'clock. And he sends Ben and me, he's like, absolute chaos! With exclamation mark, question mark, all of the exclamation marks. He says it's a nightmare. The queue is out to the food court.

And he's sending us photos, live footage. And so he sends Ben and me into a blind panic. We're like, man, we're going to have to get out to the airport. And we get out there, and there's no one there. So we're sitting at the airport like a couple of boomers three hours before their flight's even thinking about departing, twiddling our thumbs, not knowing what to do. I know.

It was really weird. It was like we were going on an international flight, but just flying to Christchurch. And when you've got three hours to fill at the airport, it's a long time. It drags, doesn't it? But I noticed a conversation, too too we had pre-departure with you, Ben, and

producer B Humps. Because we are down here. We are here at the warehouse. We go travelling around stores and we're in our sort of sports uniform to do with the Olympics. Nothing screams sporty Olympians like Jono and Ben in some matching tracksuits. And so the hits have made us

some matching tracksuits. We're going to bring those down. And then Behem's is like, oh, should I give these to you to bring down in your own personal luggage? And then we all had a moment and looked at Jono and went, oh, maybe we should get Ben to take them down together. No, but then he started, then producer Henry was like, oh, it's just, you know, I don't want to put that pressure on you guys. And Ben, you started chiming in like, yeah, I just don't know if we can both be trusted.

And I was like, all this is being directed at me. You're trying to say guys. You got to the airport so early and you wouldn't have even had

to check any luggage. You would have just had carry on. Yeah. Just to prove a point, I didn't bring any luggage down. Just to prove it.

No, because I bought it. I was an absolute pack horse. No, fair enough. I'm a shaky pair of hands. I'm shakier than the hands on that blow-up tube man outside Godfrey's.

And he's got a shaky pair of hands on him, that fella. Kia ora. I'm Rachel Jackson-Lees and this is the B**** News. Alright, now to our sensitive censor and I'm sensing some more censoring coming in the next portion of the show, Juliet. Tell us about the game. So, I find some quirky headlines from around the news.

I necessarily block out some of the headlines with a cheeky beat and you guys have to guess what the real headline is. Ready for your first one? Why not? The Rolls-Royce of **** has caused mass hysteria among esteemed mathematicians around the world. Ooh, what are you going to go here? I'm going to go, it's mathematicians,

I'm going to go the Rolls Royce of calculators. And I reckon it's caused hysteria because you can't spell rude words with it for some reason. It stopped you from being able to put the numbers in and turn it upside down and spell something rude. Do you know what? And we were talking about this just last week,

how the thrill you got when you learned how to spell boobies on the calculator. My son was doing it on the phone calculator. It's spanning the generations there. It just keeps living on. I'm going to go the Rolls Royce of dividing mathematicians is causing mass hysteria amongst esteemed mathematicians. The Rolls Royce of chalk has caused mass hysteria among esteemed mathematicians around the world. So I did not even, you know, you don't even give chalk a second thought,

but apparently the world of chalk is run on a hierarchy system. Like it's a mad dog hierarchy system. And people have been hoarding this chalk like toilet paper in the pandemic. And there's almost become a black market for this chalk because it's apparently the best chalk in the world. And mathematicians are like dealing it to everyone else because it's really hard to get your hands on. Oh, they use it for writing their equations. Yeah, on the chalkboards.

Yeah. So who knew that was a thing? Listen, if they want white stuff. I know. Ben Boyce, you've got a little arrangement going. You got over that little hiccup with the FBI app, didn't you? Right, yeah. He's back in business.

If anyone wants anything. Could I, Ben Boyce? No, no. No. Look, I don't even know. He's too tired to even argue it, and that's what I love about him. I just keep pouncing on him, and he's just got nothing. Stop it.

Stop it. I'm like Colin McGregor in the vote. Like, call it off, man. Colin McGregor in the vote. Call it off, ref. We'll move to the next one. A man has been labelled Britain's best boss after he gives staff the day off for... I'm saying

he's given the day off for extramarital affairs. He's like, oh, I have the day off. It's hard to do the admin. He's got a lot going on. I'm going to say Britain's best. A man being labelled Britain's best boss after he gives the staff the day off for fear of being not labelled Britain's best

boss. Man has been labelled Britain's best boss after he gives staff the day off for the Euro football final. What a legend. Of course. What a legend. And obviously I think it's Sunday night over there at the moment. So they say, he said, whether England win or lose, you know, just take the day off.

You know, you don't need to be stressing about work the next day. And they've even put out a call to Boris Johnson being like, make this a bank holiday, a public holiday for us all. Yeah, that's what they need, another lockdown. Yeah, I know. So that's this morning, New Zealand time, around about 7 o'clock this morning, right? England take on Italy. Yeah, yeah. Very, very excited for that. You're, New Zealand time, around about 7 o'clock this morning, right? England take on Italy. Yeah, yeah, very, very excited for that. You're a big football fan, Juliet.

Yeah, I am. I used to play it growing up, so it's kind of like my sport of choice. My dad's obsessed with it. He watches it every single day. Mum's like, is my husband married to football, or is he married to me? And he goes to all the World Cups with his friends, you were saying. He does.

It's like a massive boys' trip of like 30 men, boomers, all going following the FIFA World Cup. Let's, let's, let's. It's very fun. And the final news headline. Heinz starts petition to make hot dogs and buns. I'm going to say they started a petition, Heinz, to make hot dogs and buns feature more Heinz products

in order to increase profits. I'm going to go, well, actually, Heinz, to make hot dogs and buns feature more Heinz products in order to increase profits. I'm going to go, well, actually, I'm hoping it's not this, but they're starting a petition to make our hot dogs actually out of dogs. For a while, it's been misleading what the actual meat is. And now they're like, hey, guys. That's so sad. Heinz starts petition to make hot dogs and buns come in equal packs. So I didn't really realize this because I'm not a huge hot dog eater, but often you find apparently that there are a different number of buns in a pack

to a different number of frankfurters or hot dogs, so that when you buy them together, they're not all matched up. And so Heinz has now started a petition to make it so much more common for, you know, if you've got an eight pack of sauc sausages, you need an eight pack of buns to match. Yeah, right. Get some comms going between the bun creators and the sausage makers. Why don't they just start a petition? Why don't they just talk to the...

I don't know. I think they probably think that petitions work. Do they? I don't know. The ratio's all off. It's the same with your Le Snack, isn't it? Oh, yes. Never enough dip to the cracker.

Yeah. That's true. Remember we wanted to sort that out and do the world's biggest LeSnack, isn't it? Oh, yes. Never enough dip to the cracker. Yeah. That's true. Remember we wanted to sort that out and do the world's biggest LeSnack dip? Remember we were going to do that? That would be, you'd just be vomiting after that, wouldn't you? Too much LeSnack?

Yeah, well, no, but you could do with a bit more in your packet, right? True, true. Yeah. Anyway. Hey, well, we've done a good job of, sorry, this is my bad. We've done a good job of, sorry, this is my bad. We've done a good job of awkwardly

fading out on this bit. I had a moment there where I was like, my microphone must not be working. But it was. It was just awkward banter. And that is news and memes this morning. Coming to you from Christchurch. Stick around, we've got plenty more fun broadcasting from the Warehouse Store this morning. It is the hits.

Morning, this show contains traces of Jono and Ben. The hits with Jono and Ben for breakfast. And now, of course, this morning there's

a big football game going on. England taking on Italy in the Euro 2020 competition. Yes, in Wembley, and Ben, you've just been looking online and fans have already

smashed through the gates of Wembley. Fans who don't have tickets and they've just run into the stadium. Shambles. Crime seating. Imagine that. There'd probably be just one security guard on.

Because the gates would be shut. Yeah, they'd be like, we're not letting anyone in there. But you're right, they've just pushed on through. So it's a bit of a shambles. But pubs around New Zealand are playing the game this morning. A lot of people up early this morning watching the game. My dear friend and British correspondent and UK football supporter Gary phoned us last week, and we've got Gary back on. Are you heading to the pub now, Gary?

Yeah, I'm just pulling up at the pub now. Have you left the pub since the semi-final? You have been home? I have been home, been back to work and back again. Why do you sound depressed, Gary? This is a big day. I'm just hoarse. I'm hoarse.

I've been singing already. I sang to Ben already. Oh, sing us a song again. Do you want my song again? Here we go. We're on our way. We are Gareth's 22. We have a dream.

We hope you're sharing it too. This time, more than any other time, this time, we're going to find a way, find a way to get away this time, putting it all together. We'll get it right. Gary, I feel like this is how you should be after the game.

He's already like this before the game's even started. I love it. Are you feeling confident coming in? Because all the English fans are like, it's coming home, it's coming home. Football's coming home. Is it coming home, Gary? I got bleaked out last time, so I've got to watch what I say, haven't I? He said some crass comedy about a semi.

So we're moving on from that. We're in the final. We've moved on from that. It's the the final. We've moved on from that. It's the final now. I was at work that day having to explain to people what the punchline was when they rang it up. Well, Gary, as per, we will phone you at nine o'clock at the end of the game and get your raw thoughts, okay?

Can it be my raw, raw thoughts? No, no, no. To be honest, it probably has to beat me out. Hey, Gary, good luck. Good luck for the football. Enjoy it, my friend. Yeah, cheers, guys. We'll speak a bit later.

Okay. I shouldn't have said his raw, raw thoughts. No. It made me very, very nervous. Scrolling through your feed. All right, let's get ready for another news bulletin. It's been shoddily slapped together over the last three and a half minutes. Yeah, well, the big news this morning happened in New Zealand time.

Entrepreneur and businessman Richard Branson. So Richard Branson became the first rich white guy to win the space race. They seem to be having a whole... What other rich white guys are in the space race? Jeff Bezos is apparently in there. Bezos, he was trying to get there before him, I think, at the moment. But then Elon Musk threw his hat into the ring too, his crazy hat into the ring as well.

So this morning, New Zealand time, Branson went into space aboard his winged rocket ship, and he's 71 years old, Richard Branson. I didn't know that. And it's taken 17 years of planning for this to happen. They've been working on this to get into space. So I've reached an altitude of about 88 kilometres into space over the New Mexico desert this morning.

And now the moon has been branded virgin. He's rebranded space, Richard Branson. Well, yeah, true. You probably imagine they have a big logo on the moon now. Who owns space? Who owns all that stuff up there? I don't know. Can we just lay claim?

Remember we bought a bit of property on the moon, didn't we? I don't know how legitimate it was. Oh, we bought a star, I think it was. It was a star. Yeah, I think you bought a star. But then you're like, oh, how do you know it's our star and how do you know it hasn't been sold to other people? You know, like, I was a bit unsure about this,

but we got a certificate. I don't even know why we bought it. Why don't we buy a star? It was a very expensive certificate to buy as well. I mean, I could have made one on Clipart for us. Yeah, you could have. And that would have been the same thing as going, oh, that's my star up there.

No one nation can claim ownership of outer space. Activities carried out in space must abide by the international law. But no one owns space. Wow. Okay. Well, I guess it's probably for everyone, right? Well, you can own space. I say Ben space. Wow. Okay. Well, I guess it's probably it for everyone, right? Well, you can own space. I say Ben owns space now.

Okay. You want to do anything in space, you ask Ben. No, I can't. Ask him politely. No, no. Parking spaces make me nervous, let alone space space. Do you know this morning we've pulled into an empty car park here at the warehouse we're in Christchurch, and don't get fined with empty car parks.

There's no other cars around. But it makes it so much harder to choose a car park. Because you've got all the options. But you had every single car park option.

Which confuses you even more. You're like, oh. Because then you're like, well I want to get the best one. But then finding

the best one's really difficult. And I don't know if you saw this on Friday. This came out in the States. I know they're

trying to encourage people to get vaccinated. And now they're going to try and reach the youth with a Vax rap. Oh, you spoke about this yesterday as we're flying down across here. Have you heard it yet? No, I haven't heard it yet. Juliet, have you loaded in the Vax rap?

I sure have. Oh, good on you. That's why you are a nominated producer of the year. Not a winner. Not a winner. Yeah, not quite. But nominated. But no, a worthy nomination. Yeah, yeah. You know, a winner probably would have had. Yeah, not quite. But nominated. But no, a worthy nomination.

Yeah, yeah. You know, a winner probably would have had the whole song loaded in. Yeah. But you nominated him. Shoot, that's what I should have done. Can we hear, so this is the Vaxx rap and it's trying to target a younger generation. This is all very much a very, very vaccination-heavy rap. You're right. But he's, you know, the video, the music video I was watching yesterday on the plane, NSFW,

and NSFP as well, not safer planes. A lot of twerking going on, and he's basically saying, you know, if you want to hop aboard this, you better be vaccinated. That's his prerequisite. Okay, well, let's get the message out there. And that is so scally for your feet this morning. And the same applies to you, Ben, just so you know for me. You want to hop aboard this, you better be You better be vaccinated. I'll check the schedule

with Chris Hopkins. Spy. Know what's up. Spy.co.nz Hey, producer Juliet, she's the youngest on the show but she's just old enough

for us not to get done for the Child Labour Act which is a perfect idea. And that's sweet spot, Ben. You know, we've got youthfulness, exuberance, but not too young.

Yeah. Where they're like, hey guys. This is not you. Yeah, although you use a bit of child labour with Sienna, your daughter every now and then. Yeah, And we've got youthfulness, exuberance, but not too young. Where they're like, hey guys. This is not you. Although you use a bit of child labour with Sienna, your daughter every now and then. Yeah, she's very handy at that. Yeah, don't worry, the show doesn't turn its nose away from child labour.

Anyway, we've got Jew, what's happening in Spire, mate? So every year Barack Obama releases his summer playlist of songs that he is loving, as well as books that he recommends. He makes a playlist. It's like making a mixtape back in the day or making a little iPhone, you know, like an Apple Music playlist or Spotify, right? Yeah, yeah. And he's posted his Barack Obama's 2021 summer playlist

on his Instagram account. And every year it usually does include some older songs, some newer songs. And it's quite funny because when you look at the artists, you've got people like Rihanna, Drake, Bruno Mars, Anderson.Paak but then you've also got the Rolling Stones, Stevie Wonder and a bunch of other old sort of... Juliet, you're saying it with that tone in your voice where you're like, oh, he doesn't even know these people's songs.

I can feel the... We're not even in the same room, we're on a different island to you and I can still feel judgment. No, but I do, I do really like that he's got, you know, he's staying relevant with his newer song. But he is very cool. He is.

Like, the Barmers are very cool, they've got young daughters as well. He's probably all across all that. He's friends with people like Jay-Z, and all, you know. He's cool, guy. He is. If we released a playlist like that, then you could talk like that. You could say it about us, but not Obama.

He does have good taste. One of the songs is Bruno Mars and Anderson.Paak, Leave the Door Open, which we do like that song. Shit your feet. Shit your trap. And then he's also favourite line of that.

And then he's also got Rihanna. Like, that's a badass song. Like, go Obama. In the past, he said, I remember Jim Wigmore

was on one of his compilations a few years ago, which is pretty cool for a Kiwi artist to get on there as well. So, yeah. It must mean quite a lot because it's quite a good exposure

for a lot. I mean, obviously Rihanna and What a client. It must mean quite a lot because it's quite a good exposure for a lot. I mean, obviously Rihanna and that, they're doing okay. But, you know, it's awesome to get a shout out from Obama. Yeah, gosh. That's like when that happened, we would have lost our marbles here in New Zealand, wouldn't have we? That's crazy. We were pretty happy for Jim Wigmore that day, weren't we?

Jesus, what's happening here? Someone doing construction in the background there? Don't worry. everything's fine. It's all good. Okay. And in other news, Dua Lipa is being sued for posting a photo on her Instagram account. And it was a photo that a paparazzi took of her at New York airport. And because technically, when you read that headline, you're kind of like, why is she being sued for posting a photo of herself on Instagram that someone else has taken?

But technically, which is a really, really weird rule, she doesn't own that photo because someone else took it. But it's weird because she is in that photo and she obviously wouldn't have been asked permission for that photo to be taken. But she's going to get... She's the Dua Lipa of the Dua Lipa in that photo. I know. Sonny Bill Williams had the same incident.

Didn't he enter Rugby World Cup? There was a photo of him and another player. I think they were praying to Allah. And he was just like, this is a really beautiful photo. That's right. Put it on his Instagram. And then I think there was some argy-bargy around that.

I'm a bit light on details. Oh, yeah, I think they were saying he had to take it down and they thought maybe it was because of sort of, was this religious reasons? Why are we taking it down? It was like, no, because he hadn't tagged in the actual photographer whose maybe it was because of sort of, was this religious reasons? Why are we taking it down? It was like, no, because you hadn't tagged in the actual photographer whose photo it was or got permission from that.

So in the end, I think you did tag the person and it was fine to upload. Yeah, so I don't know if that gets you around it, like at least crediting it, but you're right, it's very unusual that a photo of yourself in a public place you don't actually own. Do you know one of my favourite stories about Ben Boyce? This was back in the day, many years ago, when he was a bit of a rogue on television and he would play clips from movies. And then he just thought he could play clips on his TV show from movies.

I thought if he credited it, it would be fine, but apparently that's not the case. Courtesy of Warner Brothers. Courtesy of Universal. And so he would just rampantly play movie clips on a show. But that's what people are doing too. Anyway, it's not the law. You can't do that.

You can't do that. You've got to get permission. Oh, damn it. So that's a good rule to go by. But yeah, but very fascinating that you can take a photo of someone, and even though you're the person in that photo, you don't own that photo. In a public place as well. You don't own that photo.

It's not even like it was a model shoot or anything. No, exactly. It was a photo of her in a big fluffy hat at the New York airport. But they probably see it as a good opportunity to get some money as well too. I imagine some of these paparazzi people go, well, okay, well, you've used this without permission. I'd like a million dollars or whatever. Yeah, that's very true.

And that is bye from where you can enter the hits.co.nz. After seven o'clock on the show, we're going to play a fun little game here at the warehouse. We're broadcasting out of the Blenheim Road store in Christchurch this morning. As well as five words for $5,000. It is the Hits. You've got Jono and Ben. New Zealand, this is your breakfast.

With Jono and Ben's battery-operated torch tour. Broadcasting live from the warehouse Blenheim Road store in Christchurch. Yeah, good morning, New Zealand. It is the Hits. Jono and Ben, of course,, good morning, New Zealand. It is the hits. John Owen Baird, of course, of the Olympics a couple of weeks away in the warehouse. A proud sponsor of the New Zealand Olympic team this morning. We've teamed up with the warehouse for our battery-operated torch tour, visiting warehouse stores across the country this week.

If you come down after 8 o'clock this morning, we're at Blenheim Road in Christchurch. Get a photo with the torch, you go on the draw to win $10,000. There's plenty of spot prizes as well. Yeah, we're shining a light on the fact that there hasn't been an Olympic torch tour. And if you want to come down, have a photo, bring the whole family. You know, there's parking and plenty of fun for the whole family. When I say the whole family, swing by the Ryman, pick up Grandma, wrap her up in a rug, bring her, she'll be like, I don't want to leave.

I say, shush, we're going down to see J&B at the Whatty Funny Grand March. She's like, I'm cold. It's a bit colder down in Christchurch, but I was telling you last night when we were having dinner last night, I saw a guy walking down in Christchurch, 7 o'clock at night, it's dark, it's cold, he's in a singlet. In a singlet.

It becomes a point to prove situation then, doesn't it? Like the people who wear stubbies all year round. It's like they're in too deep. Come July, they're like, well, I'm making a stand. They're hating it, though. You're right. They're probably hating it.

But they're like, oh, yeah, it's my thing now. I mean, you're not a weaker human being from putting on a jersey. No. No one's going to think. I got it wrong, guys. I got it wrong. Today's a bit cold. You're right, actually.

But over there in America, it's the opposite at the moment. right, actually. But over there in America is the opposite at the moment. Obviously, that's how it works in the world. But 54.4 degrees Celsius in the weekend. The hottest ever temperatures ever in Death Valley in California. 54 degrees. Hey, listen, next, we are in the warehouse, as we mentioned.

We're going to play a fun little game, which we like to do when we broadcast from shops. I'm saying that like it's a thing, we've only done it once before, basically you call us up 0800 the hits and you can direct us as your personal shoppers left, right, straight, forward, grab and we'll take as many

items as we can in 30 seconds and deal with the shoplifting fallout at the back end. Yeah right so give us a call right now and see what you can take home thanks to the warehouse that has the hits. You got John and Ben. The football is on at the moment.

The final of Euro 2020 and England 1-0 up. Jeez, I tell you what, the pandemic almost crippled England, but that'll be nothing on the devastation caused by the partying. Oh, yeah, they'll win this.

They're already in full blood. They're running at 130 over there. I'm concerned. I have worries for England. We, of course, are broadcasting out of the warehouse, Blenheim Road store in Christchurch this morning, and we're about to play this fun little game. Jono and Ben's Torchlight on Tokyo.

We're taking around our battery-operated torch around New Zealand all this week. If you come down this morning after 8 o'clock, get a photo with the torch. You can get in the draw for $10,000. Plenty of spot prizes as well. And we want to play a little game right now. That's right.

We are in an empty warehouse. And it's moments like these you realise, jeez, these are big places. Oh, huge. You could get lost in here for minutes. Absolute minutes, Ben. But what we're going to do is we're going to become your personal shoppers. 0800, that hits the telephone number.

You just direct us. Left, right, straight, forward, back, grab. We'll run the clock for 30 seconds. It's a snatch and grab, Sitcho. Are we paying for the stuff? Who knows? Who knows? Will you get it?

Yes, that's the main thing. That is the main thing. So you could end up with a bag of lollies or a bag of fertilizer. Both delicious and tasty. All right. So on 0800 The Hits, who have we got there, Producer Juliet? Hannah. Hannah.

Hi. Good morning. Hey, Hannah from Tauranga. How was your weekend, mate? Oh, it was big. Oh, it was big. It was big. You're hurting.

A little bit. She went full blow in England on it. Yeah, yeah. You peaked too soon. All right, so Jono's got a Red the Warehouse shopping basket in his hand. He's standing in the centre of the warehouse right now, and you're going to have 30 seconds to direct him around, tell him to take three steps forward to the left, all that sort of thing.

It's all over to you. Of course, you don't know whereabouts he is or where he's heading to. Right, perfect. Let's go. All right, hungover Hannah, Let's go. All right. Hung over Hannah. Let's go. Start the clock and go. Just go three steps forward and then head left.

One, two, three, and head left. Okay, I'm heading left. And grab. Well done, Yvonne. Spray pen art dinosaurs. Okay, my kid's back there. Keep walking forward. Turn around and let's go back three steps and do the other aisle.

That was an unusual line. I won't say those words ever again. Do you want to do one more, Ben? Is that why you're gesturing to me? Yeah, let's do one more. Let's do one more. Okay. Who's next on the 0800 that hits?

I think we've got Jake from Rotorua this morning. You there, Jake? Morena. Morena, how you doing, buddy? Can't buy a mate yourself. Good, good. Now, Jono, he's heading towards, oh, he's further away from me now. I can't quite see where he's down the other end of the warehouse.

I'm deep inside the bowels of the warehouse right now, and you can direct me wherever you want, my friend. Take five steps backwards and turn to your left. Two, three, four, five. Turn to my left, yes. Grab. Grab. Oh, he's got himself a lovely shirt.

Oh, that's a nice shirt, actually. Nice plaid shirt, yeah? You've got a plaid shirt. Keep going, Joe. Ten, ten steps forward and turn to your right. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Oh, well done. He's got a leopard skin blouse.

Thanks so much for listening. Have a great day, my friend. Thanks so much for listening. Have a great day, my friend.

It is honestly the greatest thing to have into this show since Ben figured out how to get into the prize cupboard. That was a good day, wasn't it? And we have made much use of that. Let's welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast, Karina, how are you? Oh, good morning, good morning, The Hits. Good, good morning, The Hits. It's lovely to have you with us, Karina. Just an update on the football, still 1-0 to England over Italy. I know you'll be interested in that, Karina. Yeah, so I don't know who I'm caring for, but yeah, go. Go, go. And the enthusiasm is unwavering.

Hey, Karina. I'm a little bit nervous, guys. Thank you for letting me get through and having this opportunity this morning. What a sweet. You are a champion. All right. We're broadcasting from the warehouse on Blenheim Road in Chichar this morning. So one of us is going to be sent into the soundproof changing room to also try on maybe some new slacks at the same time.

Who are you going to send in there? I'm going to go Jono today. All right. All right, Karina. Well, I shall go. Way you go then. Okay, Karina. I've got to wait. Away you go then. Okay, Karina. I've got to wait for him now to slowly make his way across there.

Gets out of earshot. Keep going. Keep going. Stop talking to me. Keep going. He's away from us now. You're good? Okay.

Karina, here is your first word this morning. What pops into your head when I say pacifier? Pacifier. Dummy. Dummy. Yep. That's what popped into my head as well. Soccer. Appropriate one this morning. Soccer.

Game. Soccer game. Soccer game. Yep. Glasses. Glasses. Reading. Reading glasses. Yep. Nice. I like it. Puzzle is word number four. Piecer.

Puzzle pieces. Yeah, I think you're playing a really good game here, Karina. And blue is the last word this morning. Blue. B-L-U-E. Blue. Sky. Blue sky.

Are you happy with those words, Karina? Yep, I'm happy. I think you did well. I think you did really well. Let's bring back Jono from the trying on clothes in the middle of the warehouse still here in Christchurch. He's going to come back in some sort of outfit. He's going to parade like the scene out of Pretty Woman.

Oh, he's come back with a whole lot of fragrances. Hopefully he's got them for me. Oh yeah, hopefully he's got them for her. You got them for Karina? Just the fragrances, so you can have a quarter of a bottle of Beyonce's Pulse. Okay, we'll send that out to you.

If you don't win five grand, we'll try and see if we can send that out to you. Now, as a bit of a twist on the game, every time I answer, Ben gets a squirt of one of these fragrances, okay? Oh, God, okay. He'll be smelling like Rihanna in no time. All right.

So every time you get one right or wrong? Every time I just say a word. Oh, darn. Here we go. There's one there. Okay. The first word this morning that I said to Karina was pacifier. Dummy.

Correct. Well done. There you go. And there's a spray of Riri. Kiss by Riri. That's actually quite nice. Makes me want to kiss you. Okay.

The second word this morning is soccer. Football. What wrong answer did she give? She gave a really good answer. Soccer game. Soccer game going on this morning. Oh, Karina. I'm so sorry.

It's all right, Jono. Oh, she sounds disappointed. Oh, she's disappointed in you. Oh, Karina. Oh, mate. There's no way. Whatever. But it's just how the game works. There's no way. Whatever pops into your head is how the game works. Let's go through the other ones right now.

Glasses. Sunglasses. No reading. Puzzle. Pieces. Oh, yes. Well done. And blue.

Sky. Oh, we're going to three from five. Not bad there, Karina. Yeah, not bad next time. Jono, next time we'll get 5-5. I know. I'm sorry you let the team down this morning, Karina. It's all right, Jono.

It's all right. It's all right, man. I mean, sometimes you don't play a good game. And Karina, unfortunately, didn't. No, it's actually all on me, Karina. I'm really sorry. And I'll tell you what. I'll send you out a quarter of a bottle of Riri's Kiss.

Okay? That's been sprayed on half of Christchurch. We've got some Spice Entertainment news on the way for you. What's happening, Producer Juliet? The Spice Girls. Remember them? They've released a brand new song. They won't let us forget them.

Every week it's like the Spice Girls are doing something. This week it's like, mate, do a new album or shut up. Alrighty. Wow. Wow. I was like the friend who had the friend's reunion. We were banging on about that, weren't we? Let it go, guys.

Well, maybe they've got a new album announcement next. Let's hope so. It is the hits. You've got Jono and Ben. 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.

We're broadcasting this morning from Christchurch, the warehouse store in Blenheim Road. Come on down now. You can get a photo with our battery-operated torch that's going around the country. Yeah, going on the draw for $10,000, eh? Yeah, which is pretty awesome. Bloody good.

The doors are open now. The minus three degree weather is pouring in through the doors and gee you just don't you don't realize how cold it is until you come to the south island those bloody love moaning about it though those bloody aucklanders they're moaning away oh you you moan about cold in auckland experience this well now i'm a cantabrian okay and those aucklanders they don't know what, buddy. They don't know you. I mean, you've got the Cantabrians would say,

they talk like this and say some bloody Aucklanders. There's frost on your ass out here, isn't there? Yeah, that's right, mate. All right, let's see some Spy. Spy, know what's up? Spy.co.nz All right, over to Producer Juliet. Now, to be honest, she is the only professional part of this shabby operation.

It's her and the microphones that never let us down. Now, Producer Juliet, before you to be honest, she is the only professional part of this shabby operation. It's her and the microphones that never let us down. Now, Producer Juliette, before you get into spy, though, we've got a toaster from the warehouse. Oh, because Olivia phoned us 10 minutes ago and said she didn't realise that the dial on the side of the toaster with the numbers on it represents minutes, not heat intensity. So apparently we're right to put a toaster down with nothing in it? Okay. All right. Put a knifeaster down with nothing in it? Okay. All right. Put a knife in it, Ben, just to make sure it's going properly.

Okay, so put it down now. That's three minutes, apparently. It's on the number three. So we'll find out if it pops in three minutes' time during SPI. If it is the minuteage, that would make a lot of sense. But also, I've always just thought it was the heat intensity. Ju? Yeah, no, I've heard both sides of the story.

Like, I've heard both, but I've never really cared enough to actually test it out. Well, we have, and we are doing it now. Okay. She's never cared enough to actually dedicate three minutes of radio time to it. All right, what's happening in Spice? I said we should have put bread in it. Yeah, get yourself some breakfast at the same time. We might pop that up because it's...

Is it right? Okay. Mate, no one cares if we burn down people want their kim kardashian news what's happening juke so um the spice girls uh that we've heard a lot about them recently we heard that they were um that a tour bus the old tour bus or something was turning into an airbnb accommodation that you could stay in for a night which is something quite extraordinary but something even more extraordinary which I'm sure you both will absolutely love, is they've released a brand new song from 1995 to celebrate 25 years since Wannabe came out.

Now, I was like, yes, new Spice Girls, amazing. It's going to be an epic hit. And then when I heard the song. Well, the problem is is This is the song. Yeah, no, but the thing is when they go, oh, Kurt Cobain's passed away. But here's some previously unreleased material. It's probably unreleased because Kurt Cobain didn't want it released. Yeah, you wonder

that, eh? You know, the Spice Girls they probably recorded this and were like, oh, that's a dud. We won't release that. They put out sketches that we didn't put on. I mean, you saw the ones that we put on TV, some of our stuff. That's the ones we didn't put on. Previously unreleased sketches. Well, there's a reason.

You're right. There's a reason why we didn't put them on there. And we were desperate. But that's what I find. Don't you, Steve? Do you think the same thing, June? Yeah, that's true. And I think that was kind of similar with Michael Jackson.

They may have released a few songs after he passed away, and everyone kind of got excited but then they were never really as good as his Big Bangers, you know. Which actually, you know, makes sense. It does. Okay, so the toaster gate, the toaster's popped. Has it? It popped at 1 minute 53. It's not the timer on this one. It wasn't related

to the minutes. Well, at least we did it. We experimented with it. And we unnecessarily purchased a toaster for that. Which we'll give away right now as well. We're going to give away the toaster, aren least we did it. We experimented with it. Yeah. And we unnecessarily purchased a toaster for that. Which we'll give away right now as well. Yeah. We're going to give away the toaster, aren't we? Yeah, we are.

Okay. 0800 the hits. Who wants a toaster? Jeez, we're covering some ground here. We are. Mate, the amount of stuff we've done in this break. Oh, God. Let's end it now.

And that is Spy featuring Toaster Chat. For more, you can go to bits.co.nz. Don't turn our mics off. We'll give live football updates as well. No one is going home. New Zealand, this is your breakfast. With Jono and Ben's battery-operated torch tour, broadcasting live from the Warehouse Blenheim Road store in Christchurch.

Yes, the Warehouse brought to sponsor today's Olympians as well as tomorrow's and we're on our own torch tour of New Zealand this morning at Blenheim Road warehouse in Christchurch. Come on down and see us. Get a photo with our battery operated torch. Yeah, the Olympics didn't do a torch tour, did we? So we're taking it upon ourselves

and they are beating down the doors here in Blenheim Road. Oh, it's cold outside too. Yeah, they let us in, it's freezing. And we're like, well, they're automatic doors. You just stand back a bit, the sensor will get in, you can walk in. But anyway, they've decided to beat down the doors. So you come and see us. We're going to be here until about 10 o'clock.

If you have a photo with it, you're in the draw for $10,000. Now, that's a big sporting event. Granted, tick, Olympics. That done. On to the next thing. Yeah, the football this morning. The Euro final between Italy and England, Euro 2020. And it's, what was 1-0 last time we spoke about it?

Yes. Now, Gary, who loyal listener to the show, is our football expert slash the only one associated with the show that knows anything about football, is live from the pub. Gary, halftime, where are we at? Well, I feel a Bon Jovi moment coming on, guys, because we're halfway there. Oh! Getting on the chair.

We just kicked off the second half, mate. Just kicking off, so, yeah. You know when you're talking to someone who's... Gary kicked off a bit earlier, though, I think. Now, Gary, the atmosphere at the pub, is it electric? It's sort of 12 volts at the moment, but yeah, we're building up. It's a little bit nerve-wracking after going ahead after two minutes. It's a long time to hold on.

But, hey, yeah. Now, what does it mean to you for England to win this tournament, Gary? Whichever way you look at the result of the end of it, it's history in my lifetime. So England are in a final, and I've never seen that before. So, yeah, it's massive. Enjoy. Enjoy the rest of the second half,

and hopefully we can catch up with you at the end of the game, and hopefully it's an England victory. It will be. So, yeah, cheers for that, guys. We'll catch up later. Thanks, Gary. He's getting more docile. I'll explain the rules of football to you one day.

Thanks, Gary. Thanks, Gary. I love Gary. He's getting more docile and lucid as the morning goes on. He's going to be up by 9 o'clock. I love you guys. You guys are the greatest. Yeah, yeah, no.

Yeah, no. Yeah, no. The home of yeah, no. She'll be right and at the end of the day. Jono and Ben. Breakfast on the hits. It is the hits.

Jono and Ben. 8.30 on a Monday morning broadcasting out of the Warehouse Store in Blenheim Road in Christchurch. So come on down if you want to see us.

We'll be here until 10 o'clock this morning. Get a photo with our torch that's doing a tour of the country right now and you go on the draw to win $10,000. Plenty of fun for the whole family. You name a family member. For my family? Just any family.

Oh, Kevin. He would have fun here. Kevin, your dad, he would be loving it right now. He would. Millennial Max, name a member from your family. My mum. She would love it here. Plenty of fun for the whole family. Just fun aplenty.

We've got little Alex here. How old are you, Alex? Seven. Too cute, mate. Seven-year-olds. We met Alex in Taupo, and you're an amazing golfer. I am. Yes, you are right.

I am. A magnificent golfer. No, without a word of a lie. We remember Alex. Yeah, we tried to get the hole in one in Lake Popor. So how's the golf going, bruh? It's good. Yeah?

I'm playing in Dunedin this Friday. He just won a tournament yesterday. What did you get for winning the tournament? Some dozen golf balls, a Prezi card, two certificates, and some soft golf balls. There we go. He was so good they card, two certificates and some soft golf balls. There we go. He was so good they wrote out two certificates and gave him a Prezi card. He's bloody good.

Hey, well, thank you for coming down today. And if you want to have a photo with the torch, the battery-operated torch, go on the draw for $10,000. We've got a bike to give away. Yeah. So come on down. Someone who comes down within the next half an hour will win the bike as well. And also win the opportunity to meet Benjamin Boyce.

What more do you need? You tell me what more you need. Probably a lot more than that. Paid to talk words and stuff into a microphone. It's New Zealand's breakfast. Jono and Ben on the hits. We're coming to you live from the warehouse, Blenheim Road in Christchurch, where we're bullying people to chant

Go Kiwi in front of a camera. Come over here, guys. Can we get another Go Kiwi? Go Kiwi! Go Kiwi! Go Kiwi! You poor people. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Just never mind.

It makes good radio. Now, over the weekend, a slight blowout. You know, if your phone likes to be too smart and predicts the text that the phone thinks that you're going to be sending. Yeah. So sometimes you type in words that you could correct, but the phone changes them. Yeah, it's the phone's version of taking a gamble, isn't it? It's 30% correct, but 70% it's mostly wrong.

Now, I talked with my daughter and one of her friends to a trampoline park over the weekend, and when I picked up my daughter's friends with my daughter, the mum was like, oh, are you going to jump? And I was like, yeah, I'll go have a jump as well. She's like, oh, good on you for having a jump around. I mean, it's a trampoline park. Why would I not jump? So anyway.

Well, is it like you're sort of an old, an elderly gentleman? Oh, good on you. Got a bit of a life left in this. I know, you know. It's like, yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah, like, get out there and have a bit of fun. Got a life left in this old dog yet? But I thought when I got to the trampoline park, I should send her a text saying

I'm all ready to jump. But I sent her the text and autocorrected from jump, the J went to an H. And so I said, I'm all ready to send that text away to my daughter's friend's mum. That was the unusual text. It seemed to wake up. I'm all ready to hop. That's one thing you can say about Ben is he's always ready.

He's always, he's at the start line every time. I mean, right now is the time now. It's only 8.47. He's ready. That happened to me the other day. The other day I was saying I had to go to the saxophone shop, and I sent to my wife, I'm heading

off to the sax shop, and some cruel prank, my phone was just not recognising the word sax, and I was heading to a completely different shop, where there's other horny stuff going on, but mine was purely saxophone bass, that I needed to get that

scene to. So I think we should get rid of the predictive text. That's my little PSA this morning. Get rid of it. I knew what I wanted to send. That's not what I wanted to send. Who do you want to hear this and who do you want to initiate it? Who do you want to follow through on this? Uh oh, Ben said it. Stop the predictive text. To be honest, I just want to wrap this up now.

Is that sure? Real Kiwi blokes with soy lattes. Shono and Ben, breakfast on the hits. Ten grand. Yeah, we've got a bike to give away right now too. And what's really concerning me is all morning, Ben Humphrey, our producer, has been giving us products and saying, just keep that because I haven't scanned it through you. But I have consumed so many products this morning and not paid for one of them.

You smell nice, too. We're going to be in Nelson at the warehouse tomorrow, so come on down and see us there as well. Have yourself a great Monday, New Zealand, and good luck with the football.
