The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Kia ora, 23rd of August. Welcome to the podcast intro. It's great to have everyone here. Now, Producer Joel sort of leads the podcast intro with a question that he throws at the pair of us. Yesterday it was, would you take a kick to the head from a UFC fighter?

According to Producer B, I'm a bit too masculine. Not that we're a lads show or anything like that, but for some reason. To me, and just to recap, I was a little hesitant about taking a kick to the head. Now you're recapping on something. Let's get something else non-UFC related today. Non-UFC related. Ooh. Do you guys have anything?

Nah. Yeah, I do have. I have a scenario that happened to me yesterday, and I want your advice. Okay. Because I know everyone wants the John and Ben advice. Do they? I was walking home from the supermarket with a paper bag, and it was pouring down with rain, and my bag broke,

and all my groceries fell out. Quite unfortunate. And one of them was chicken, like a kg of chicken, and the breast, it fell onto the concrete. And I didn't realize. I picked it up, And it touched the concrete I just want to know Would you guys

Gravel on the chicken? No gravel There was actually not too much Not too much on it But I threw it out I personally threw it out My flatmates And my mum as well

They said that I should Should have just washed The chicken breast And got on with it Well the thing is The footpath You don't know Who's been on it

Do you? You never know Who's trampled on what. But it has been a good downpour recently. A lot of rain would have cleaned it off. I guess, you know, there's an argument to say through the cooking process, if you washed it, and through the cooking process,

you're going to get rid of all the germs on there. But chicken, I don't think you should take any risks. Personally, with chicken, having had a campylobacter before, and that was the worst thing I've ever had, you know, that was horrible. So, you know, having had that before. But then my mum,acter before, and that was the worst thing I've ever had. You know, like that was horrible. So, you know, having had that before. But then my mum, you know, she'd be the same. She'd be like, just rinse it under the tap.

It'll be fine. But she takes a risk. She lived in a flat when she was younger, and they had a pantry chicken. They'd cook a roast, and the chicken would live in the pantry for a week, and they'd just go pick it away and help themselves to chicken. For a week.

For a week. Oh, Jenny Boyce. Jenny Boyce. I was like, chicken. For a week. For a week. Oh, Jenny Boyce. Jenny Boyce. It's like, you've got a refrigerator, use it. She has the stomach of a Russian soldier, your mother. I know. Built of titanium. But it's not always going well.

She takes some risks and it doesn't always pay off. Your father-in-law, sorry, your stepfather, spends a lot of time gravely ill. He does. He does without a word of lie. So I don't follow in her footsteps, but she would wash it. I wouldn't wash it. So I'm guessing there, yeah.

I feel like your stepdad just bounces from one food poisoning incident to another. With some okay days in between. Oh, they really... Yeah, in between. Just depending on the cycle of the fridge. But I get Jenny, like the food wasted shocking. So she is certainly not doing that. She is not guilty of that.

But over the years, you think about what our ancestors were eating back in the day. Yeah, true. Back in the day, they were just chowing down on all sorts of raw, just there was no qualms. And now we're like,

can I have some oat milk? Yeah, true. We've become very precious. And I'm guilty of it. I'm guilty of it. I've done soy latte. Oh, man, I'm part of the problem. Yeah, no, you're right, actually.

You're right. 100 years ago, 200 years ago, it was like, whatever, mate. There's a guy, and again, not to turn this too masculine. There's a guy, you know, Liver King. He's a B-Hum's favorite. Have you seen Liver King on Instagram? This is a guy who was living in the caveman years. He's shirtless and stuff, right?

And he just eats all sorts of wild stuff. Testicles, raw liver. Yeah, testicles are his favourite. All sorts of animal testicles. And he makes his family eat it. Like his wife and his kids. And they're probably like, Dad, can we not eat ox you know, ox balls for dinner?

Like this guy is, but he is enormous. He's built like Dwayne the Rock Johnson. Right. Yeah. And he's always talking about our primal ancestors. He's got a,

but I'm like, did they have Instagram back then, bro? Yeah, true. Why are you not putting that across everything in your life? Yeah, that's a good call. Maybe we could do an experiment for you, John. You can live one day like the liver king.

Just see the diet and train like him for a day. See how it works out. Yeah. I don't know if one day is really going to do anything. Look, I feel like I know the results now. One day. How do you feel? A bit gross?

Yeah, a bit gross. It wasn't really a little tight. Shaked out some raw bloody chicken. Yeah. Today on the podcast, AJR. You'll know them from their smash song, Bang. And the good part as well, which is all over TikTok, they join us talking about how Taylor Swift's a fan

and we also put them to the test on New Zealand jargon. How do they go with that? We'll find out on the podcast this morning. A-grade celebrity chat with C-grade celebrity hosts, Jono and Ben on the hits. AJR, Adam, Jack and Ryan, hence the name AJR. They're going to be in New Zealand this week. They went huge with that single Bang Right Around the World.

Three million global albums sold. Five million global streams. You would have heard this song on TikTok. So can we skip to the good part? Yeah, they are massive. They've got big celebrity fans. They're going to be in Auckland on Saturday, Wellington on Sunday. Tickets, Ticketmaster for tickets if you want them.

And we're excited to have them on the show right now. Excited to have them in New Zealand. You guys excited, AJR? Oh, we're so excited. It's our first time. I know in America, COVID, it's not really a thing. It's not really a thing. It's like traveling back in time coming to New Zealand.

You'll see masksaland you'll see masks you'll see masks yeah you'll have to keep a social distance is that the game i mean honestly i'm not surprised you you you in australia you guys handled it probably the best out of anywhere but the problem is the problem is we came out too cocky we started bragging at the beginning going look at us look at us we've got nothing and now wow all right well thanks for the for the heads up i appreciate that you guys have had such a you know like a crazy time or what it feels like from the outside looking in i mean i just saw you on jimmy fellon the other night i mean has has it been quite surreal the last couple of years yes oh my god it's been more than surreal uh everything has

grown for us which is really cool and rare uh you know it's so easy i think even these days for people to kind of hop off the train uh of a or artists or anything like that, even if you, if you kind of make a wrong move, but, but we've been working really hard and the touring has really grown for us, which is cool. And now we're finally able to actually come to places like New Zealand and Australia and get people in the door, which is huge for us. And then the music too, we've just been working hard and people have seemed to kind of catch on and like it. It's just, it's a rare moment that we're just really enjoying every second. You weren't wearing were wearing oh i don't want to bring things up awkwardly but you weren't wearing pants uh you know those sort of boxer shorts uh jack well yeah

at the jimmy fallon performance it's yeah it's uh everyone thought it was boxers but it's it's truly it is a bathing suit it's the probably the nicest pair of shorts i own so i had to can i say you got wonderful legs, though, Jack? They needed to be on national television. Thank you so much. Finally, someone says something about my legs. Obviously, we talked last time about Sia. She tweeted about you and said you're amazing.

I mean, who are the big fans you've had over the last 12 months? You're like, oh, my God. Oh, Taylor Swift. Yeah, she wrote a thing about us in her in the description as ajr said 100 bad days man she did a whole thing about our song just about as good as you can get pretty amazing taylor we've heard of taylor swift down here yeah because is it fair to say you obviously been playing music for a long time but things really kicked off globally for you during the pandemic yeah that is true with with with bang

i guess yeah bang was our first we had had you know hits before like spotify streaming hits and kicked off globally for you during the pandemic. Yeah, that is true. With Bang, I guess, yeah. Bang was our first. We had had, you know, hits before, like Spotify streaming hits and like some alternative radio hits, but Bang was the first like real worldwide top 10. And then obviously TikTok, you know, picks up. You know, how does that happen? Obviously the good part, you know,

people are using it for their travel videos. They're doing the cool thing where they put their hand in front or their foot in front. Yeah, we had nothing to do with it. What happened was, I guess someone started and then we were, you know, we were doing a meet and greet one time at a show. And a fan came over and was like, hey, I want to do the good part trend with you. And she did it. And we were like, good part trend.

She's trying to make a trend. That's never going to be anything. And then we like went on TikTok and there were like 80,000 videos made already. We're like, wait a sec. Whoa, why did no one tell us about this? And then the next day there were like 200,000 videos made already. We're like, wait a sec. Whoa, why did no one tell us about this? And then the next day there were like 200,000. It just kind of kept growing. But that's, that's, I was saying before that, that, that was like, that's one of the great moments or the great aspects of TikTok.

It's like, it's, it's making these artists kind of sit there like anxiously and wonder which of their songs is going to blow up today. And it's kind of cool and, and cool and never felt before in the industry. It's this cool new chapter. And I think it rewards artists that work really hard on every single one of the songs on their album as opposed to like, let's work really hard on the single,

rest will be filler. It's like more likely that one will go viral if you actually make every song good. Or just try to give each one a hook. The problem is as a listener though, you learn word by word seven seconds of a song. And then when you have to learn the whole song the rest of it's unfamiliar right right exactly that's an interesting test

because there are those tiktok songs that are massive on tiktok but nothing online and then they're the ones that people hear it and they're like oh wait the rest of this one is good too so you never know i imagine there's like a seven seconds sometimes at your concert where everyone's singing quite loud no that is that is the case like yeah i mean in our show obviously our fan our big fans know the whole song but when we've done like festivals and everything everyone's silent and they're waiting for can we skip to the good parts actually speaking of new zealand we have some slang new zealand slang i wanted to throw it out there and see if you guys can guess what it is. So if I said AJR, a choice, what would I mean? What would choice mean?

Sounds like they're great, they're the best. Well, one from one. That's good. Okay, if I say, AJR, can I wear my jandals to your concert? Can I wear my what? Jandals. So it's a mixture between something and sandals. Like denim sandals, like jean sandals.

Jean sandals. Basically they're flip-flops. That's what we call flip-flops. Like denim sandals? Like jean sandals? Jean sandals? Like the way you think. Basically, they're flip-flops. Yeah, they're flip-flops. That's what we call flip-flops. Oh, okay. Yeah. Can I just say, jean sandals sounds like a great thing that we need to invent.

We may have just invented something. We don't have to say that just because it's Ryan. It's horrendous. No, it's a great idea. Okay. I was going to drive to AJR, but my car's carked it. Carked it. Carked it. Carked it. Carked it?

Carked it. Sell it. It's broke down. Yeah. And finally, if I was going to invite the pair of you to come over to my house this weekend and lack of my dick, what would we be doing? I know. Yeah.

Okay. That's definitely, I don't know, clean your deck? I don't know. Yes. You guys are good. You're fitting great. We are so excited to have you in New Zealand. It's going to be awesome.

People should go along and see you guys. You look amazing live. And we'll get lacquering decks later on. Yeah. You're essential listening for non-essential banter. Jono and Ben on the hits. Now you're part of the Six O'Clock Club. The Sixie and I Know It Club.

The Sixie and you know it. We need to get a jingle done for that. We'll get on to it. It's all just an evolving beast, isn't it? The Sixie and I Know It Club. We do appreciate you guys getting up early and hanging out with us. It's nice. It makes the mornings a bit more bearable for all of us.

It does. It does. I don't know if they're just getting up to hang out with us though, Ben. No, no. You've probably got jobs. Yeah, yeah. No, I get that. But I mean, it's part of your morning. We just keep telling ourselves that just getting up to hang out with us though Ben No no You've probably got jobs Yeah yeah No I get that But I mean But it's part of your morning

We just keep telling ourselves You wake up to hang out We're part of your mornings Which is pretty cool And this morning Most coffees We got talking about this after the show yesterday Because Ben you have

You've only got a couple of vices In your life Don't you One is a rampant gambling addiction Don't have that And the other Is your coffee intake I do like a coffee But I don't actually go Like is a rampant gambling addiction. Don't have that. And the other is your coffee intake. I do like a coffee,

but I don't actually go, like the problem is, to be honest, if it's just up to me, I have a single shot first thing in the morning, then I take one in the car, another single shot, and then I come to work

and I have a double shot. That's three coffees. It's pretty much 90% of the time I would only have three coffees. Yeah, but then you fall into a trap when people start offering you coffees. That's the problem. If anyone offers me a coffee, that's where I go, I'm like, yeah, I'll have three coffees. Yeah, but then you fall into a trap when people start offering you coffees. That's my problem. If anyone offers me a coffee,

that's where I go, I'm like, yeah, I'll have a coffee. And then I can be up to like six or seven. But when it's all me, I'm like, basically, it's two single shots and a double shot. It's all I have. And that's nine times out of 10,

but you're right. If someone goes, Jono's like, oh, you want a coffee? I'm like, yeah, right. And then Behab's like, you want a coffee? I'm like, yeah, right. If I walked into his house at two o'clock in the morning with George Clooney and an espresso machine and I woke him up and said, do you want a coffee? You're like, yeah, yeah, right. And then Beer Hub's like, you want a coffee? I'm like, yeah, right. If I walked into his house at 2 o'clock in the morning

with George Clooney and an espresso machine and I woke him up and said, do you want a coffee? You're like, yeah, yeah, okay. Yeah, I know. I don't know. For some reason, I just can't say no to a coffee. But if it's up to me, I just, you know, don't have that much. This is what we want to do.

0800 The Hits. Who is having the most coffee? Who's got the most caffeine pumping through their system? Listening to the 6 o'clock club this morning. You're 60 and you know it. Now, let's go to the phones because, Michelle, you're on. Hey, guys. Hey.

Good to have you on this morning, Michelle. Your coffee intake, what are we looking at per day? Probably four or five. Four or five coffees? Okay. Well, yeah, I imagine it's on the high side for some people. You do four or five a day. Yeah, probably.

Yeah, because I start with my single shots in the morning so I don't go too crazy, you know. He works his way up. You've got to have one first thing in the morning. Exactly. I'm with you. I'm with you on that one. Talk us through your schedule.

So one in the morning, a couple during the day somewhere, and then one before bed. Oh, one before bed. One before bed. Like how long before bed? Oh, it can be like 10 minutes before bed. 10 minutes before bed, you, one before bed. One before bed. What? Like, how long before bed? Oh, it can be like 10 minutes before bed. 10 minutes before bed, you're having a coffee, so you've just got caffeine just pumping through those veins as you're sleeping.

It doesn't keep me awake, mate. I'm out. Obviously, well, I've seen you do an after-dinner coffee before, John. I like my dad in a restaurant. I do like an after-dinner coffee. We'll just have an after-dinner coffee. You're like, yeah. The good thing is

the dozen beers cancel out the caffeine. And I have no problem sleeping. Four or five a day. One before bed. Michelle, you go and have a great day. Cheers, guys.

See you, mate. All right, can we beat that? Before bed coffee. Can we beat that? All 800 of the hits. Who's having the most coffee? The Jono and Ben Podcast. The world's number one podcast.

Please don't check those stats. Do you know coffee? I was reading The Rich History of Coffee this morning and it was discovered by a goat herder in Ethiopia

and he noticed that a lot of his animals were getting rather jittery after eating coffee beans. Ripe coffee beans. And the last thing you want is jittery animals. Well, yeah.

So that's how they got onto it. Funny you should say that because on the phone right now, Amy joins us now. She's not quite into the coffee as much as an animal in their house. What's the story? What's going on, Amy? So when my dad goes and gets some flat white coffees from Macca's, the standard coffee, his pointer actually,

his dog actually grabs the coffee out of the coffee cup holder, rips the lid off, drinks the coffee, and then hides the evidence underneath the front seat. Oh, so sneakily drinks the coffee. Yeah. He cleans his car like every three weeks, and there's like at least three or four coffees underneath the seat. Oh, so Sneakily drinks the coffee? Yeah. He cleans his car like every three weeks and there's like at least three or four coffees like underneath the seat. Jeez, that dog would be getting results.

Be a very... Productive dog. Yeah, would be. But not good for the dog. Yeah. Jeez. She absolutely loves coffee. Like if you're drinking coffee, she'll be like right there watching you, just waiting

for one drop of it. Wow. It's like being boys in the morning, aren't you? Just waiting for one drop of it. Wow. It's like Ben Boyce in the morning, eh? You're just waiting for any stray drops out of my cup. Sitting there with your tongue ready to take it. And where did the love of coffee come from? I don't know. Like my dad thought he was just taking his coffee out of the car.

And obviously she just thought coffee was her thing. And just grabbed them and had a good time. If coffee's your thing, it's your thing. But it's very bad for dogs. We learnt that yesterday. But it's bad for dogs, so we've just got to say that. Yeah. Well, there you go.

Great story. The coffee-loving dog. Thank you very much, Amy. Have a good one. No worries. Cheers, mate. You have quite volatile imagined dogs on caffeine, too. My dog without coffee.

You couldn't have Bo on caffeine, could you? Lee, welcome. Most amount of coffees we're doing, we're just veering off a bit here because you're getting your caffeine intake. But how are you doing it, Lee? I'm a Coke drinker. Oh, Coca-Cola. What are you having? How many Cokes would you have a day?

I've actually got four up beside me, and a 1.5, and I've got a two litre at home. Oh, jeez, that's a lot of Coca-Cola. Coke addict. How many cans? So what did you mean? Four next to you, four cans of Coke. I've got four cans of Coke beside me, and I've got a 1.5 on my back behind me, and I've got a two-liter at home.

So what, you'll have all of that Coca-Cola today? Yep. Jeez, how long have you been doing this for? 20 years. Wow. 20 years is a good commitment. That's like five liters of Coke a day. Wow. 20 years is a good commitment. That's like five litres of Coke a day. Wow.

What's that? Are you having like five litres of Coca-Cola a day? Yeah, about that. So have you tried not having it? Well, your body is probably used to it now, right? Much like us. Yeah, my body is used to it. Yeah.

Do you drink water? Yes, I do. Oh. Gee, you must be flowing, free-flowing. So much liquid going through that system. There's a lot of liquid, you're right. A lot of liquid. Now, when did you must be flowing, free flowing. So much liquid going through that system. There's a lot of liquid, you're right. Now, when did you start drinking Coke? What was it about Coke?

I just liked the taste of it. Yeah, well, that would be probably a good reason. What a great question, Jono. Put him on CNN. That's sort of investigative journalism. Oh, wow. I appreciate your call this morning. Thank you.

No worries. Good luck getting through that coke today. Good on you, Lee. Good on you, Lee. Hopefully Lee's going to be with us for a lot longer. That is a lot of coke every day. Five litres. I had a radio school tutor who was the same.

All he drank was Coca-Cola. Yeah? Yeah. Don't know if he's with us now. He loved the stuff, don't you? I've tried to get the kids into it. Yeah? Yeah. Don't know if he's with us now. I'm sure. He loved the stuff, don't you? I've tried to get the kids into it.

They won't. Kids are like that. We had this discussion the other day on the radio. They're all about water, kids, and climate change nowadays.

Have a Coke, light up a ciggy, mate. Just get into it. Oh, jeez. Looking for a pair of below average husbands? Ta-da!

It's Jono and Ben on the hits. She's watching the news. They're all gearing up for a pair of below average husbands? Ta-da! It's Jono and Ben on the hits. She's watching the news. They're all gearing up for a Tamaki's protest on Wellington, aren't they? They've got live cameras outside Parliament. Oh, it's happening today, right? Yeah. They're headed down from up north on the way outside Parliament. A lot of barricades around the area.

And as I mentioned before, if you're working in the central city, they have said if you can work from home today, maybe it's a good opportunity to do. You don't know what the disruptions are going to be like. I had quite possibly the strangest shopping experience I've encountered yesterday, Ben. I was in the mall, and I dotted into Farmers, a wonderful department. Whenever you go into Farmers, you're like, jeez, they've got a lot. Yeah, that's a great story. They're covering a lot of bases at Farmers.

And I remember Jen, my wife, she's stuck at home with the vid. I remember her saying a couple of weeks ago, oh, I need some new underwear. Right. And I thought, well, you know, I'll be the fastidious husband and I'll call her. And I say, hey, guess what? I'm in Farmers and I see over here they have ladies unmentionables. Right. And she said, oh, great.

Yeah, pick me up some. But the problem is I've got no previous experience when buying smalls for her. So what I had to do is I had to FaceTime her. So it's just me. I'm the only guy in this part of the store. Yeah. And I'm going around with a phone because I've got my headphones in, my Apple headphones in too. They're plugged into my phone because I was listening to music in the mall.

And I'm going around filming. Well, what looks like filming underwear. Yeah. And talking to myself going, do you like these ones? They seem pretty solid. They seem good, you know, and sort of giving talking to myself going do you like these ones they they seem pretty solid they seem good you know and sort of giving feedback to myself and i caught the glimpse of the store assistant who was behind the counter it's not a good look like i can tell looking in now he's explaining i'm like this is not a good look it's a wonderfully complex backstory would it stack up in a court of law this is what i, this is what I'm thinking. I think he's put a lot of details into this.

Oh, yeah, he's in there just trying to, but yeah. But I'm like, oh. But if I'm going to do that, if I'm going to go in there and film, so I'm doing hidden camera business. You're not so open. I'm not out there in the open with any disagreement. I mean, you had a situation where you went in to buy something for Amanda and then you got the store lady to try it on.

Oh, that wasn't underwear. Don't relate that to the underwear so it was a new york knicks jumper it was a jersey sorry yeah there's an important detail to take anything off to try it on that was yeah but even that was weird that was even like going hey you're about the same because i was in america i was about the same size would you put there and she's like yeah i guess i could did she do it she do it? Yeah, she did, to her credit. Well, she waited out. I bought the job.

She was okay. But then I felt like, I kept saying, it's for my wife. It's for my wife. You know, just like, it's just all right, mate. Okay, I get it. You've got a wife. But the more you say you've got a wife, the less I believe you've got a wife. Kind of like another backstory thing, you know.

No one really, it doesn't really stack up. Yeah, well, anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking with it. Yeah. Mature, mature responsible and considerate three words we sadly can't use here jonathan beam on the hits now on to far more trivial issues uh ben boys uh there's a noise in my house which is it's haunting me and when you think about it, we're just haunted by beeps and alarm noises and just technology moaning at us nowadays, aren't we? And my one is my fridge. You know, when your fridge door opens and you leave it open.

Yeah. If you've left it open for an extended period of time and it feels like the time's getting shorter and shorter before it starts getting toey. Yeah. You know, sort of 10, 20 seconds. It starts beeping at you. Yeah. Yeah. And you're like okay fridge clearly i know the door's open i'm loading in my apples

i'm getting my lettuce in there i need you open there's no point in opening shutting opening shutting just let me know just you know do you know where i'm at yeah surely technology can advance that far that's like oh clearly old mate's back from the supermarket He's restocking me Well yeah Because I used to tell my daughter That the fridge was going to explode For too long So she was very panicky

Like a superhero In a movie Every time I'd make that noise But now my daughter told me the other day Because I had the same thing I was moaning about the fridge noise You know I'm beeping And she's like

You just push the button up to the side And it gives you longer So you've probably got a button, beeping. And she's like, you just push the button up to the side and it gives you longer. So you've probably got a button to the side. And she was like, you idiot, just push this button and then you can put all your supermarket stuff in there without it beeping and then shut the door and it's fine. Well, listen, I thought... And I was like, oh.

I even just moments ago, I was like, surely we can, you know, technology advanced. Yeah, well, there is. Yeah, my daughter says, yeah, she's like, just push this button here. This is what you do if you need longer in the fridge and then it'll like it'll go back on i'm like what i love to as soon as the beeping starts going it starts off a chain effect in the household just people yelling the fridge is open the fridge is open someone shut the fridge it's like yeah

yeah it's a trigger it's a trigger noise that one but yeah as we're saying before everyone you know just technology beeping at us all day long whether you're reversing your trigger noise, that one. But yeah, as we were saying before, technology beeping at us all day long with you reversing your car. Oh yeah, that one stresses me out. It stresses me out. Yeah, it feels like someone like you say is just going, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You know, behind us.

Too close, too close, too close. Like you're a stressed out parent when you're learning to drive. Yeah, that one really stresses me out. I don't like reverse parking at the best of times. So that one stresses me out. Yeah, what else stresses you out? What noise is stressing you out? Oh, when someone's

got my alarm as their text message sound. I hate hearing that outside of, you know, when that goes off and then it's like, that's my alarm. That's what I wake up to. And someone's got, it just sort of sends you back there to when you're getting up. I don't like that. Okay, 0800 the Hits. This is what we're going to do.

Annoying noises in your life. What have you got? Can't say us. Oh, you're can up. I don't like that. Okay, 0800 the hits. This is what we're going to do. Annoying noises in your life. What have you got? Can't say us. Oh, you're cancelling that out? Yeah. Someone would actually, funny, 4487, someone would actually literally just text that in. Yeah, I know.

So we're cutting that off at the pass. We get it. We're the annoying noise in your life. That comedy's done. Ben's done that. He's beaten you to the chase. 0800 the hits. What are the annoying noises that are burdening you every

day? This is the Jono and Ben podcast. We're just talking about the most annoying noises and I just said before when someone has as their text message and phone notification, your alarm noise. It sends you back to a horrible place of waking up and then producer Joel found it in the system. This noise

and this just as soon as I hear this I'm just like oh time to get up. That's the stock standard one, isn't it? Yeah, I should change it. But yeah, that's a,

stop, stop, stop. It'd be great if, you know, they used that in war. Get a prisoner of war and just start playing that. Will you talk? Tell us everything.

Play that noise, you're like, all right, I'll talk. Yeah, great text coming through, 4487. I am a firefighter

and there's an alarm that goes off and it's the same alarm that goes off for... I can't even read properly here. What am I doing? You started well. I did. I started with... You lost confidence midway through. The alarm that goes off in the fire station. I could have summarised it. The fire alarm?

Yeah, the fire alarm. There's some champagne radio there. The fire alarm, the beep noise, that's annoying when the smoke alarms are sort of running out of batteries and it does that sort of intermittent beep. And then, is that the thing? And then again, a few minutes later, it does the thing. But it's always like four to five minutes apart.

Yeah, there's no consistency in it at all, right? Someone set them to a timer where they have to go off at 3.30 in the morning as well. Yes, yes. Do they ever start during the day? No, you're like, is that the, is it, is it? And try and stay awake for the next one Yeah

And all you do is you hope the person sleeping next to you deals with it Yeah And they never do So we're going to go to the phones Noises that are annoying your life, the burden of your life Melissa, the most annoying noise in your life, what is it? People chewing with their mouths open Oh, now this is a

popular one i imagine it's that sort of noise that once once you zero in on it you can't hear anything else no no it's gross it's gross it's unnecessary there's no need for it what do you think of people that um sort of breathe out their nose uh loudly Just like almost like a little whoosh of it. Like when you're pumping up your tires and you get that whoosh, you know, up and out your nose and you have to be with this person. What do you think of that? Just hypothetical, just a hypothetical. Yuck.

Yuck. Yeah, no, yeah. You know, he's trying to create a fictitious situation, but he's talking about me. He's talking about me more. No, it's fictitious. My body is tingling right now it's like being with

one of the Game of Thrones dragons you know 24-7 I have a thing where I like to I think it's called breathe and apparently

that even annoys Ben so that's that's the stage of the relationship we've had we're really staying together for the kids

that's the only reason we're still together that even my and Melissa I'm sorry you've been caught in this web of whatever this is. You don't need to hear this. But have you taught your family no chewing with the mouth open? Yes, yes. I've got a three-year-old son that's starting to do it,

and he gets shot down. My six-year-old daughter now helps me out. People have got their thing. So what happens if I'm going... No, no, stop it. I'll hang up on you. Yeah, no, I hear you. I hear you.

It does, yeah. Once you notice it, eh? Once it's on your radar, you can't not hear it. It sounds like a masticating cow, doesn't it? Melissa, thank you so much. You go and have a great day.

I will, thank you. And please eat with your mouth closed. I can pass on one bit of advice thanks melissa there joe the most annoying noise in your life what is it a dancing pig that my sister got from my grandmother a very specific noise there so a dancing pig yes it's got a very specific noise and it annoys the hell out of my mum. Yeah, right. Mum can't handle this noise. Do you want me, as I said, he's got a little bit of blonde hair on his forehead and he's got a pink, he's got a red and white striped t-shirt on. He's wearing a t-shirt as well.

It's good to see his butt. A red and white striped t-shirt with blue track pants, not blue track pants, sorry, blue overalls and brown and yellow shoes. And he dances around to this f***ing awful song, excuse the French. And it annoys the hell out of everybody and my niece just loves the song. How does it go?

Alrighty, hang on. Alright, brace yourself. Now, this song gets very annoying very quickly. Okay. If you play it constantly and my niece loves this sound. You ready? Yeah, we're ready. We're ready.

Are you ready? Alright. Oh, it's La Bamba! Oh yeah. La la la la la la Bamba. Yeah. Oh, La Bamba. Oh, yeah. La, la, la, la, La Bamba. Sorry? La Bamba.

La Bamba. That's the one. It gets annoying very quickly if you play it constantly. So loud, I think it was overloading the phone system, wasn't it? Yeah. Told you it was loud. Yeah. So you don't go shaking your labamba to that

song anymore, Joe? No, I never did, John. Sorry for asking. Love your word, Joe. You're going to have a great day. Alrighty, you guys too. Cheers. Alright, he's a volcano of information about to explode his news

lava out. What's going on, Ben? Well, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez, they already got married a couple of weeks ago in las vegas but they threw a three-day weekend wedding extravaganza in georgia uh went friday to sunday uh but casey affleck who's very close to his brother ben didn't turn up didn't go to the wedding now you told me this excuse off air and even me the king of excuses in trying to sneak out of events. This is not strong enough for me. Yeah, well, it's one of those things. I guess it was TMZ, you know, the media outlet in the States that seemed to go around, you know,

getting grabs from celebrities and catching them out in places. Well, they got him coming out of Starbucks. They're like, why don't you turn up to the wedding? And so I feel like maybe this was just an excuse to just say them on the spot because he said, I fell asleep. And that's all he said and got into the car and drove off. So, yeah. So he slept through his brother's wedding.

Yeah, well, I don't think he would have slept for three days. I just feel like that was just, you know, when you don't really want to give an answer, but you give an answer anyway. Yeah, he apparently turned up with donuts too, Dunkin' Donuts. Oh, right. So he did actually show up eventually. Yeah, at a pre-event though. Ah, gotcha.

Yeah, maybe he was just like, hey guys, here's some donuts, here's some wedding donuts. Wonderful gesture. What do you get Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, the people who have everything? Donuts. Donuts. Yeah, why not? Yeah, and save them some money by not turning up for the wedding. They don't have to pay for his meal.

Surely some refunds on that one. And this is very sad news one of New Zealand's best known and most loved musicians Margaret Ehrlich sadly passed away at just 57 years

old after a two and a half year struggle with cancer she had this big song with Peaking Man Rune That Echoes went to number

one in New Zealand then she went as part of the Cats Away in 1986 Melting Pot was another number one there's a great big mountain pot she also found fame in Australia Then she went as part of The Cats Away in 1986. Melting Pot was another one. There's a great big mountain pot.

She also found fame in Australia singing the song The Horses with Daryl Brathwaite. It was a big song in Australia. The cousin of musician Peter Ehrlich as well. Very great musical family. Inducted into the New Zealand Music Hall of Fame in 2021. So really sad. Just 57 years old. Amazing career.

So really thoughts and feelings towards the old. Amazing career. So really thoughts and feelings towards the family. 57. Isn't it? Yeah, jeez. And it's everywhere. Cancer, isn't it?

I know. Bloody shocking. I don't know why there's not a cure for it. In this day and age that we live in. One magic something. It would be nice,

wouldn't it? People smarter than me need to get onto it. Don't you? Yeah. That's what they're talking about with the COVID vaccine.

How are we coming up with a vaccine so quickly, yet cancer's still riddled throughout the world? Yeah, that's a very good point. I guess all the scientists around the world were all putting their time and effort into this one thing, but maybe you're right. Do this over cancer. Yeah, yeah.

Well, listen, to be honest, Ben, at 6.19 on a Tuesday morning, you and me aren't going to solve the issue. No, no. We're just going to throw it out to the universe. Yeah, exactly. One of the favourite things I like to do is get lost on the internet. Great time filler, isn't it?

What did we do before the internet? We hung out with our families, talked to people. Yeah. You know? Doesn't seem like a thing. We're present. Yeah, we probably were. We were probably a better version of a human being before the internet.

Although there's a photo that sort of circulates from time to time where they're like, get off your phones, it's basically a meme. And then they flash back to a photo on the train for like 50 years ago and everyone's got newspapers. You know, it's... Yeah, true, there's always been the... A distraction. Yeah, right.

Something to read, you know. Yeah, right. But the computer got lost on an internet wormhole yesterday. It was one of those side articles where you have to click through 29 pages to get to the content that you want. Yeah. And when you're 16 deep, you're like, I can't pull out now. You know, I've clicked through 13 ads for diet pills and sort of ab. There's a new ab product.

You've seen that one? It sort of electrocutes your abs. Oh, I've seen that. Yeah abs and yeah no it looks great but anyway uh this is facts about the computer okay some really interesting ones mentioned before 90 of something is only on computers and that's the world's currency only exists on computers which means only 10 of the global currency is cash all right so 90 of all money's online probably makes sense right you know a lot of people have their money which means only 10% of the global currency is cash. Oh, right. So 90% of all money is online. Probably makes sense, right? You know, a lot of people have their money in bank accounts,

and it's not physical. It's just online, yeah. 10% is cash, and probably most of it's carried around by rappers in nightclubs and thrown around in the air. You blink less when you're on the computer. The average person blinks 20 times per minute under normal circumstances. On a computer, you're only blinking seven times a minute. Really? Don't know how good that is for you. No.

But you're alert. Yeah, you're really concentrating on it. Like someone you're talking to in a bar at three o'clock in the morning. They are alert. There is a password for nuclear missiles that they had in the US. So when they went to war, they'd have to enter this password, and it would fire off the missiles.

Do you know what that password was? No. Zero, zero, zero, zero, zero, zero. For eight years. Oh. If you're in the military and your cat accidentally leant on the zero, you start a world war. That feels like, you know,

that someone was going to change that later and never got around to it. And how come when we want to reset our password here at work, we need to get bloody Stephen Hawking involved. Oh, yeah, all sorts of stuff. Except to launch nuclear missiles, you just had to put zero in seven times.

Capital letters, non-capital, special care, all that, you know. Microsoft, Apple, Hewlett-Packard. Yeah. The big players in the game all that you know uh microsoft apple hewlett packard yeah the big players in the game do you know what they all started in garages all of those massive businesses started in garages just that i remember like my stepdad had a printing business in wellington and you know many years ago and he had a one of the so one of the first computers the computer i'll take you to the computer room and it filled up the whole room

and he was like one day these will be everywhere and I was like whatever mate Shut up mate, you're crazy What a waste of a room I'm not going to have a computer room but yeah in a way I guess well we do but You'd be carrying one around in your pocket

I know but at the time you had to put it inside a whole room It's crazy You know hackers but at the time, it was like you had to put it inside a whole room. Yeah. It's crazy. You know, hackers, they write 6,000 new viruses every month. 6,000 new viruses a month. Why? Why, guys? Yeah, it feels like,

why do people spend their time doing that? Like, imagine if the core purpose of your job was to just annoy people. Yeah. Then you'd be a radio announcer. Or a hacker. Yeah. Those are your only two options.

But yeah, interesting stuff, eh? Yeah, the computers. Typewriter. You know the word typewriter? Yeah. Typewriter is the longest word you can write using the letters on only one row of your keyboard. Ah, because the top row of your keyboard. The top row of your keyboard.

Typewriter. All those letters are typewriter. All those things It was a typewriter Yeah That one was a bit watery Sorry Should have ended on the one before, eh? Yeah, well there you go Yeah, the old hackers one

How'd everyone go? And then I came in with the typewriter one Now, your brain You know, sometimes you're out and about And you forget something Something you're meant to do And then a song will come on, and you're like, why do I know all the lyrics to the song? Why can't my brain delete those lyrics that I don't need,

I haven't used for 10, 15 years, and just focus on the things that I need to do? Just 10 minutes ago, I was talking about how I've forgotten to hold a baby correctly. Yeah. Yeah. Well, you're right, things like that you should know, but then you know other things, and you're like, well, this is not important. Wouldn't it be nice if you could just take items from your brain and sort of put them in the little trash?

Or do you not do a control or delete? Maybe not a control or delete. You're like coming in the next day, you're like, G'day, I'm Jono. I'd be like, yeah, mate, we've worked together for a while. Okay, so maybe you just select certain files. Don't do a control or delete. That's how I like to clear my emails.

How does this radio work? Well, you're talking to this microphone. Yeah, no, but that's, radio work? Well you're talking to this microphone Yeah No But that's It's something Where you're like I've got all the words to A dog biscuit commercial You do

From ten years ago Like I didn't even know There was this many words Now I remember the commercial It was a famous commercial That was on for many many years It was for Tux I can sing them now for you

I think we've got the The actual Tux keeps him full alive. He's as little sharp as a knife. Tux keeps him full alive. Lean and mean and overdrive. If he's hurting the cattle or shifting the mob, it's a diesel for the working dog.

From Cape Reinga to the bluff, there's only one feed that's good enough And it's Tux I reckon the guy who sung that song Great job If you go up to him now and go Could you sing the Tux jingle? He'll be like

Oh that was a while ago How did that one go? But you for some reason That's really struck a chord with you Why? I don't know why Like some days I forget to put the kids out from school I know all the words to a dog biscuit commercial.

So that's what we want to know this morning. What is taking up valuable brain space? That probably shouldn't be, but it's still impressive. Nonetheless, it's impressive that you know this. I remember on a school trip, me and my mate, it was quite boring on a bus trip. We learnt the Kiwi Burger, you know, like a lot of the lyrics to the Kiwi Burger song.

Now, I won't bore you with it. Everyone knows the original things of, well, you know, everyone remembers the original ad, you know, this one. You'll never bore me with your rendition of the Kiwi Burger song. Now, I won't bore you with it. Everyone knows the original things of, well, you know, everyone remembers the original ad. You know, this one. You'll never bore me with your rendition of the Kiwi Burger song. Oh, no, yeah, no.

But, you know, that's clogging up a lot of brain space in me, you know. Have you got it there, Producer Joel? All right, fire it off. Oh, you go.

Hot pools, rugby balls, McDonald's, snapper schools, World Peace, Woolly Feast, Ronald and Raising Beans, Chicken Wins, Wicker Wins, Farskies, Golf Tees, Silver Ferns, Kauri Cheese, Kiwi Burger, love one, please. Yeah. Yeah, that's... And there's a whole other verse.

And again, I was like, why do I need to know this? But again, it's embedded in my brain. Yeah. I'd happily free up some disc space in my brain. I don't need the Kiwi Burger song. For better stuff, yeah. I don't need the tux shingles to serve me no purpose in life. Oh, it has for this moment right here

that was impressive but oh 800 the hits let's free up do a big brain dump yeah what's stuck in your head unload it on the radio and then you'll be

free of it forever numeracy literacy and idiocy they've nailed one of those things Jono and Ben on the hits.

So we found love. It is the hits. Jono and Ben, 8.15. We're doing a brain dump. What stuff do you have that's clogging up your brain space that maybe you need to get rid of? Things that you'd love to get rid of, but it's there. It's stuck there. Pointless things that you know. Yeah, Ben knows all the words to the Kiwi Burger jingle. Yeah, my daughter's really good on licence plates. She'll remember licence plates. She'll go, oh, that's such and such's car. I'm like, why do you

remember? Yeah, she'll know a whole lot of people's stuff. Oh, you need to channel that stuff. We're going to talk to a guy on the program tomorrow who cracked the US lottery system. He was that good with numbers cracked the US lottery system. Oh, yes. He was that good with numbers

and the ordering of numbers. Maybe I need to take it down a bit. That's what I was going to say. Forget license plates, mate. Let's make some cash out of you. It's the small legs. We've been playing the big legs. Let's go.

That guy's going to join us 10 past 8 tomorrow. They've turned his story into a movie. A movie, yeah. With Bryan Cranston from Breaking Bad. Yeah, he's going to join us tomorrow But anyway Dog-legged John O'Brien

We'll hear about this in the meeting, won't we? Yeah Yeah, so what do you want to do a big brain dump of? What's sitting in your brain that you want to get rid of? Rachel, hey! Good morning How are you? I'm good, how are you guys?

We're doing well We're doing a brain dump Stuff that you don't need in your head anymore Unloaded on us What is it? Well, I know all the words to greece one and greece two oh the movie the iconic movie is obviously very sad that olivia newton john's not with us oh i know i was devastated yeah so so how many times would you say that you've watched grease and grease too um oh gosh grease one i probably watched um uh over 50 times wow that is that's all that's too much greasing that is a

i watch a lot of movies but i didn't know there was a grease too A lot of people aren't fussed on Greece 2 but I do love it and in fact my poor sons were raised on musicals and so even with Greece 2, so one of the songs on there is when they go bowling and so if anyone in our family goes, hey, let's

go bowling, let's go pimpin' bowling, me and my son will rock out. We're going to bowl tonight. Can we hear more of we're going to go bowling tonight? We're going to bowl tonight. We're going to rock, we're going to roll, we're going to bop, we're going to bowl, we're going to bop, bop, bop. Did you seriously not sing this song?

No, we didn't. No, I didn't. No. Okay, so what I'm going to do, I'm going to chuck out some quotes from Grease, and you've got to try and finish the line, okay, Rach? Okay, I'll give it a go. This is from Sandy. You're a fake and a phony. And I should never set eyes on you, Danny Zuko.

Oh, bang, bang. Tell me. Tell me about it, Sturge. Yeah, nice, you are on fire. You're really good. You just can't walk out good You just can't walk out You just can't walk out of a drive-in Bang, three from three, you're so good

Oh, don't make me laugh. Ha, ha. Well done. So good. Oh, we're going to send you out some hell pizza. They are delivering beer and wine as well. We can see you out some pizza. You're incredible.

Well done. Thanks, guys. Yeah, big brain dump there for Rachel. Oh, so good. Spilling the tea on Hollywood's A-listers. Kardashians. I have met every single one. Exposing scandals.

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

No. His identity is a secret. But his stories have been proven right time and time again. This is NT. He's dripping, dripping in Hollywood gossip, and we're here to mop it up. Welcome, NT from Hollywood. Are you there, NT?

I am. Can you hear me? Welcome, welcome. How are you? You know, I think it was the dripping. I think it was the mopping of the brow, the sweat with all the gossip. I think it interfered with the line. Now, Jennifer Lopez, Ben Affleck, they got married again. And Casey Affleck, Ben Affleck's brother, didn't seem to turn up for the wedding.

Well, he came for the donuts on Friday. He came and brought some Dunkin' Donuts on Friday. Oh, did he? What a wonderful gesture. Because that's basically what Ben Affleck lives on is Dunkin' Donuts and coffee and some cigarettes and beer and other stuff. But yeah, Casey bailed. What I've heard is that his girlfriend, who is half his age, was taking some photos that she shouldn't have and was going to post to social media and she shouldn't have.

And so nobody wanted her there any longer. And because she's his girlfriend, they both left together. Seen on TMZ, Affleck looking a little worse for wear after the wedding. Ben Affleck is always worse to wear. I think that Jennifer Lopez realized, okay, if I don't marry him now, he's liable to die.

So let's just marry him now. But this article's like, Affleck looking worse for wear. It's one photo where he's got his eyes kind of shut. It's a split second. It's a split second where he might have been caught in between blinks. We've got Andy with us from Hollywood. Now, Brad and Angelina, we understand.

Messy divorce, baby. It's still going on, right? Yeah, it's a messy divorce. I mean, the judge made them single, not that long, you know, made them single, but they're still arguing everything. So they split in September of 2016. The thing that precipitated the split, it was a private jet flight. And on the private jet flight, Brad's accused of being abusive towards Angelina physically, verbally abusive towards her child, not necessarily their children, and then destroying some airplane seats by dumping beer on them and drinks and stuff like that, pounding the ceiling. And basically, when they landed, a bunch of swear words and just said, I'm leaving you guys,

you'll never see me again, kind of thing. That's when they broke up. Right. And so because this happened on an airplane, there's not the jurisdictions not local to California. It is the Federal Bureau of Investigation because it happened in aerospace, which is their territory, their jurisdiction. So they investigated. And also child in California, the child, you know, Department of Welfare Services also investigated. They found that there was nothing to move forward with. The FBI investigated and they also said that there was nothing forward, you know, that they could do. There's no charges that they were going to file. And according to the documents, both Angelina and Brad agreed at the time to keep everything quiet, to not mention what happened.

They were going to steal the records. And this was done with the full consent of Angelina and her attorney at the time, and Brad, his attorney at the time. So it's sealed. Well, that means that nobody can talk about it. And Angelina said, well, now everybody thinks that I'm crazy. I want to talk about it. I want to let everybody know what happened. So from 2016 until this last week, she's been filing what we call freedom of information requests, you know, filing these things with the federal government under the name of Jane Doe to try and get documents released about this flight. And finally, this past week, we got the information where we learned all about all of this stuff that happened because Angelina wanted the world to know that Brad Pitt's not a nice guy.

Right. So that was the catalyst, eh? Because Brad Pitt's sober now. Do you think this was the turning point for him? No. I don't think that was the turning point for him. I think that the turning point would have been because he wanted to be able to see his kids more. And so, you know, and we're going by his, you know, assertions that he's sober. And then we don't know if he's California sober,

so is he totally giving up pot? Is he totally booze? What is he giving up? What have your interactions been with Brad and Angelina? Oh, interactions? Angelina more than Brad. I've run into Angelina many, many times. Brad a couple of times. And one of the times he was, he was just smoked out.

He and Jennifer Anderson, I think had probably been smoking for eight or 10 hours straight. And they were, they were both just wasted out of their minds on pot. Just like you could just, you could just, you could just, it's like, it's like they were a walking hot box I have to deal with that every morning with Ben I know what you're talking about Love catching up with you mate

You know this We'll see you again and hear from you again next week Thank you so much Hey you guys have a great week I'll talk to you then And not afraid to use the F word Be family friendly Jono and Ben on the hits Hey you used to know Ben a couple and not afraid to use the F word. Be family friendly fun. Jono and Ben on the hits.

Hey, yesterday, Ben, a couple of, and it's happened to us a couple of times over the course of us working together. When we're walking in public together and someone will come up to us and they'll just hand us their baby. You know? And it happened yesterday as we're walking walking to our cars you know it's normally a conversation that happens for a wee bit beforehand yeah a bit of chatting and

then all of a sudden you often say it's a cute baby yeah i'll go hold it yeah cute baby this lady just sort of hands out thrust the baby in yeah and i felt like a dad returning home from work and she's like this is your problem now yeah and so but the problem is i i don't know i've forgotten how to hold a baby how i don't i just always awkwardly when it's other people's babies right because you're very mindful that you know you didn't create this little baby yeah so you want to be careful and sort of i just end up sort of holding it like a soggy towel or something you don't want to get cradled it in do you no which is weird well i think it'll be more careful giving it more support but you sort of hold it out like but

and it's also a part of it's like i don't know this baby am i in a cradle relation is it weird for me to cradle a baby you could have gone full simba and just raised it a lot i was doing half sort of like the half yeah yeah but i don't like a guy, you wouldn't walk past me and go, hey, he's a sapiary, he has to hold a baby. No. I wouldn't pass a baby to me. No. No.

I've even seen you try and pick up a cat as well, too, and that was very awkward. You made that somehow awkward as well. Yeah, okay. Same thing. The same thing. You sort of held it in front of you. Like it's, yeah.

It's amazing how quickly you forget to hold babies, isn't it? When you haven't done it in a while. Well, no. No. I feel like I can still pick up. It's not a lot of, yeah. Like some of the things I've forgotten, the waking up through the night and I've moved past that,

but I feel like I can still hold a baby. With confidence? Yeah. What I like too about these situations is they're like, let's get a photo with the baby. So then I'm awkwardly sort of holding a baby out in the middle in between us and then the ladies took the photo she's not in the photo no the baby's like i don't want a photo i don't know who these people are

weirdly holding me the baby's gonna be like in 10 years time or the photo pops up on the photo stream who who are earth are those two men holding me my buddy Gary McCormick and Tim Shambult you know that's what we're going to be like

in 10 years oh no a couple of old battlers I saw in town the Jono and Ben podcast for a really sad news this morning one of New Zealand's
