Jono, Ben & Megan - The Podcast - FULL: Is There Anyone More Organised Than Ben Boyce?

Episode Date: December 8, 2021

Ben is one of the most on-to it people we know. He loves to-do lists, labels and calendars. And we wanted to see if there's anyone more organised than him! Yesterday we also spent the day on the roof of Eden Park, shooting basketballs into a hoop on the field below. And we managed to get a shot in each! Which meant that this morning, we were able to give away an all-access pass to Eden Park in 2022 as well as $1000! Finally, Ben admitted there's something he hasn't done in over 1000 days.

Jono and Ben, brought to you by Resene, New Zealand's most trusted paint. Kiwi made since 1946. Just when you thought you couldn't get enough of Jono and Ben, you can have them anywhere, anytime. Welcome to the Jono and Ben podcast. Hello, Thursday the 9th of December. Benjamin Boyce, Jonathan Pryor here with you, joined by our partners at Lamborghini. Thank you very much, Lamborghini. When you want to drive like the common man, drive Lamborghini. You can't just say they haven't. Anyway, you probably can say,

but they haven't technically sponsored this part of the show, have they? I thought that's how sponsorship, where you just started naming companies that you wanted to sponsor you. And then they were like, oh, I guess this is the thing now. And they started paying you. Is that how it was? It kind of worked with Ed Sheeran, I think,

at Heinz Tomato Ketchup. I think he was like, I'm a big fan, let's do a collab. And they're like, yeah. So that's, yeah. But he's Ed Sheeran. Yeah. And I'm trying to.

Lamborghini, you've got to be calling. Oh, my phone's ringing. Oh, no, no, it's not Lamborghini. No, it's not. Should I call Lamborghini and see if they want to do a deal? Oh, no, no, it's not Lamborghini. No, it's not. Should I call Lamborghini and see if they want to do a deal? Oh, no. Jesus, no.

He loves this. He loves this. Lamborghini, New Zealand. I don't. Why is this a podcast? It's like you don't get enough radio in the three hours of radio that we have to do for now until forever. I just want to see if Lamborghini would be interested in sponsoring the podcast.

Of course. There's only one way to find me. All right, you're on your own. This is all you. This is all you. Ben doesn't want any association. Say my headphones off. The microphone's working.

Lamborghini Auckland. Lamborghini Auckland. Please hold whilst we connect your call. Here we go. If I get this lucrative Lamborghini deal, who's going to want a Lamborghini? Lamborghini Auckland. Michael speaking.

Michael, how are you, mate? I'm good. How are you? Good. It's Jono and Ben from the Hits radio station here. Oh, wow. Yeah, caught you off guard there, and I'm sorry. You have caught me off guard.

Listen, we're just doing the introduction to our podcast, and I said, welcome to the podcast. I'm Jono and I'm Ben, and we're brought to you by our partners at Lamborghini. And I said, you can't just say a name of a brand that you want to work with and put them into it. You know, Lamborghini probably don't want any association with us. It's a prestigious brand.

But Jono's like, what if we get free Lamborghinis? Wow. So this is the reason. You wouldn't be the first one to angle for a free Lamborghini. Yeah, I can imagine. Would Lamborghini be interested in sponsoring the podcast and or giving us two Lamborghinis? I'm not the brand manager, but I would say they probably can't

afford to. Yeah, we're prestigious. It's a very, very tightly run business. Not much money to be made in the car, to be honest. Are you talking about we're a tightly run business or Lamborghini? Yeah, Lamborghini. It's a small family-owned business. Oh, well, listen, you win some, you lose some. Hey, if anything happens in the future

and you want to sponsor the podcast as Lamborghini, that'd be great. Okay, sweet. I'll pass the note on. Thank you very much. See you, buddy. Okay, all right. Cheers, guys.

See you, mate. There we go. Well, you gave it a crack. Good on you for giving it a crack. You just got to give these things a try. So, you know, not bored. So this is John O'Byrne Podcast, brought to you by our partners at Ferrari.

Now, just... That's the virus podcast. Enjoy the podcast today. Involves us. What we did after the show yesterday was throwing, well, they were volleyballs off the roof at Eden Park, down to a basketball hoop. We're trying to get two shots, one each. How did it go?

Well, you'll find out on the podcast. This is Jono and Ben. They attempt two shots at Eden Park. Yes, yesterday after the show in the afternoon, we went to Eden Park and we shot basketballs from the roof of the stadium up top. We were all harnessed in and sending the basketballs down to the fields in the hope that we'd both get a shot each

to unlock an amazing prize. What you didn't factor in about the harness was it's sort of around the crotch region, sort of acted as like a picture frame for your crotch. Especially in the shorts that we were wearing. So yeah, I just wanted to grab yours. The whole time it just looked like, yeah, sorry Drew. It looked grabbable. But I didn't, I refrained because, you know, you just can't do that.

It's a professional workplace. Professional, Jonathan. Yeah, that's right. But I didn't. I refrained because, you know, you just can't do that. It's a professional workplace. Professional, Jonathan. Yeah, that's right. Exactly. Now, the amazing prize that we would have to give away today on the show, if we both nailed a shot each, two shots, our version of two shots, thanks to Eden Park, it's an all-access pass for 2022.

Includes cricket, rugby, concerts like 660, Guns N' Roses, and plenty more, plus $1,000. Now, you can comment on any of our posts at the Hit Breakfast to still win this. Yeah, we'll be doing that draw just after 8 o'clock but when you go into these things you don't know. You don't know what's going to happen until you first give it a crack and then you get a bit of a, you know snapshot of what's ahead of you

don't you? And so Ben you went first. Getting up there I was like Jesus this is high. It was windy as well. And the hoop just looks like almost pinprick, doesn't it? The hole, the hoop that you need to get the ball through. So you went first. What if I nailed this in the first one? How cool would that be?

That's not going to happen. When is that ever? In the history of anything ever happening, when does that happen? Okay, okay. Three, two, one. Go, okay. Three, two, one. Go, go. This is going to be a long day. It moves a lot in the air, doesn't it?

Yeah, that was about 30 metres off that first shot. So we kind of had volleyballs that we were throwing down onto the field because we obviously didn't want to damage the hallowed turf at Eden Park, but they kind of would move quite a lot in the wind gusts. Yeah, the problem was the wind was different on the roof than it was on ground level as well, but this is an hour later, 60 minutes later.

That's going in. That's going in. Oh! That's it! Oh my goodness! Well done, that was amazing. The wind catches it at the end, it just swings it in at the very last, it's luck, it's pure luck. Oh, that was so. The wind catches it at the end. It just swings it in at the very last, it's luck.

It's pure luck. Oh, that was so awesome. Now, I don't want to say, Ben. Oh, no, don't put pressure on me now. You don't know what I was going to say. Yeah, I know exactly what you're going to say. Okay, go. There's a lot of pressure on you now.

You can see it. So you nailed it, like an hour into it. A swish straight through. It was incredible Somehow we managed to get a high horse on top of that roof Because I was sitting on my high horse For the remainder of this And there was a lot of pressure going on you

And it was unnecessary pressure Because it went from having us both having shots each To all of a sudden Alright now old mate's just got to get it in Just me And you just really turned the screws Okay Hey Ben

Have you got it in yet? Oh don't come record now. It would have been close. It would have been, you know. Julie, what time did you want to get home time? Oh. I had it in my calendar until 9pm, but I feel like at this rate. Yeah.

Oh, look, hey, I'm getting close. It would be different if, like, none of us had got it in, but one of us had, so you know it's achievable. Like, we know who's carrying the team here. Oh, look at old mate here coming across. Do you have heavy shoulders from, like, lifting him? Yeah, I do, I do, yeah. And I was hoping to get to the birth of my next child,

which I think is happening, you know, in the next hour or so. So it'll be nice, Ben, if you can have a go. I'm trying, I'm trying. You didn't need that. No, I didn't need that. And if it was me in your position, I wouldn't want that, but I didn't stop. Hey, Ben. Oh, shush.

Stop recording. Have you got the ball in you? I'm trying. I've got big, blimmin' clubs. Yeah. Hey, Ben. No, stop. It's your wife on the phone.

She's just wondering, do you want to move into Eden Park? Yes. Yes, I do. Hey, Ben. No, stop. Stop talking. Stop. Stop.

Stop talking Stop Stop talking It's LeBron James on the phone He wants to talk to you I love LeBron James Yeah he wants to talk to you Hi Ben It's LeBron James here on the phone Hi LeBron

Have you got it in yet? I'm trying LeBron Yes it was you giving me grief But finally after a couple of hours Of being up there on the roof I managed to get my shot Oh yes Woohoo Got it!

Yes! Two shots for Summer. Here we go. Woo! Rhythm and Binds is back on. We've saved Summer. We've saved her. Julian's happy.

Yes! Her tickets are valid. Yes! Oh, well done. Got it, yes. You came in from the other angle. The wind. Yeah.

So what happened is he, well, you know what happens. He's throwing the ball off the roof. But just towards you, you swung in from the left where the other ball that I threw swung in from the right angle. The wind. So what happened is he, well, you know what happens. He's throwing the ball off the roof. But just towards you, you swung in from the left where the other ball that I threw swung in from the right. It's all just luck. It is luck. It's luck and skill, mainly.

So a lot of skill. I found mine was more probably. So we just had a lot more skill involved in my mind. I think so, yeah. Quite a lot. You are more professional than I am. Yeah. When it came to bed, I felt like luck.

Yeah. Because we've been here for so long. I'm going to float. Between the two shots, there's a combination of skill. We've got two shots this summer. You can win. There we go. And, yeah, a torrent of grief that I was giving you for really only a two-hour period.

It was unwarranted. But, yeah, main thing is we've got both the shots and you guys can win. We've got an all-access pass to Eden Park next year and $1,000 cash. Comment on any of the social posts on the Hits Breakfast, Instagram, Facebook, whatever. 8 o'clock we could be calling you. Yeah, and a pretty epic video will be coming out later today so you can see the two shots in all their glory.

It is the Hits. You've got Jono and Ben. Ben and Jono call this show Jono and Ben. Breakfast on the Heads. The Heads. Yesterday afternoon we went to Eden Park and we

threw basketballs, well actually volleyballs because we did want to damage the ground off the roof of the stadium at Eden Park.

You and I, we both had to nail two shots, our own version of two shots for summer and we got an amazing prize to give away

thanks to Eden Park which includes $1,000 after 8 o'clock this morning Now this is the moment, we're doing Ben's we'll do Ben's one, this is the moment that Ben Boyce got a shot in, this second Oh, oh, oh, oh Oh yeah!

So you just need to comment on the Hits Breakfast Instagram, Facebook, whatever you're in that drawer, and we'll call you very shortly. But Ben, if you don't mind me bringing up something that I've noticed,

and I've noticed it before, I just haven't raised it with you, is you are disturbingly organised. As a human being, would you say that, Juliet? I would say that, yes. He packed his bags for Eden Park six weeks ago, before we even knew we were going to Eden Park.

And... To be fair, I'm probably over-organised. That's the thing like things kind of rattle me like going up on Eden Park on the roof

rattles me he packs a suitcase because I'm like well it's summertime but then we're up in the we're up high so it's like

it's the unknown so it could be windy but it could also rain and it could be cold because it could get to dark and how long are you going to be there but it could be very hot

because it's tin roof so all the elements all the so that's I have to be organized for all the – everything. Everything, yeah. When he went on as OE, it wasn't an overseas experience. It was being orderly and efficient. And he didn't go anywhere. I'm begging for something. I'm just – I'm a shocker.

Like I take four times the worth that everyone else does. I'm like, oh, rain. It could be rain. It could be sunny. It could be – what if it's like, you know, what if everyone's wearing Speedos at the beach maybe i need those you know like you know when you're in a team environment environment everyone brings strengths and weaknesses and your strength is organization but also weakness yeah but no it's my weaknesses too

probably complete disregard for any organization to the point where ben has to text me but i can tell he's texting me in a friendly, just a, hey, I'm doing this, so maybe you should think about doing it tone, of like, don't forget your cap and don't forget this. I thought I might bring my track pants. Did you do that again yesterday? I did because we were trying to match uniforms. True.

And there was some stuff we'd been given, thanks to the team from New Balance, actually, yeah, some awesome stuff we'd given. And they'd given us something in the past, So I was like, oh, it could rain. Then I was like, oh, I've got that rain jacket. So I was like, set a photo going, hey. Hey, I thought I might bring this. Which is saying, hey, bring it. Hey, knob nuts, bring this jacket.

And I always forget. Like, I always, I turn up, he's like, have you bought that jacket? And I'm like, oh. I'll be looking up and going, oh, here's a bit. That's all I get in my head. Oh, there he is. I bet when you were born, you probably emailed and going, oh, here's a boot. It's all I get in my head. Oh, here it is. I bet when you were born, you probably emailed your mum, Jenny, and you were like, I'll be coming out at this time.

Okay, you emailed her from the womb. Here's a spreadsheet of when all your contractions will happen. Make sure you've got my little booties ready, my little onesie. All right, I'll be coming out at Wednesday at 12.30. Oh, don't forget to put the car seats in as well. You'll need to transport me back home now.

Very organised. I'm glad I love a list. If a man doesn't know, why does it have to be on the list? Why does it have to be on the list? Whose list is this? This is your list. I just want to put this on the list

so we all know what's going on. Do you know how many lists he sent me on email of like, this is what we need to get done between now and Christmas. He's even started doing 2022 lists now. We've got a whole list, 12 months of lists that we'll get through next year.

So why not open up this this morning on 0800THEHITS. You can text to 4487. Are you more organized than Ben? Or is anyone in your life more organized than Ben? Okay. Because they probably won't take time out to call us right now because they're being busy being organised. Unless it was on their list to do, right?

So under the hits, we want some examples of how they are super organised and what they can do. Can you top me? I'm sure you can. We'll do that next on the hits. And let's find a prize up for grabs for our favourite call. It is the hits. Rated M for mildly amusing.

Jono and Ben, New Zealand's Breakfast And in sweet dreams, Beyonce, you're on the hits Jono and Ben, 18 past 7 on your Thursday There's something that's always confused me about that song Is she saying turn the lights on or turn the lights off? Question, question You want her off, on or off? Do that thing where you flick them on and off

Your parents tell you off We'll get the research team onto that But more importantly importantly Ben Boyce the most organised individual in New Zealand that's what we're claiming I don't know if that's true but I do like to be organised

yeah very organised he doesn't do just do crime he does organised crime yeah I like my crime to be organised before the big heist he sends out an email

now don't forget the balaclavas we'll meet at 9 o'clock made a spreadsheet actually speaking of spreadsheets, your sister, Juliette. Oh my goodness, I know.

I think she's the next level from me. This is incredible. Yeah, you were showing us during the song. Yeah, her and her fiancé. Back in April, when they were in New Zealand, we did the Rootburn track with a bunch of their friends and they made a spreadsheet, basically, with everyone's flight number, flight time,

the bus, who paid for the bus, the gear, the item, who's bringing it, who will use it, do we have it, who's packing it, do know, flight number, flight time, the bus, who paid for the bus, the gear, the item, who's bringing it, who will use it, do we have it, who's packing it, do we need to buy, has it been packed,

food, the dinner for every night, costs, who paid, how many people are going in on this, like literally tabs upon tabs. I love everything about this. Color coded, it was unreal. I'm looking at it now, it's got different,

it's got five different tabs, this Excel spreadsheet. Itinerary, gear, food, costs. How many days were you tramping? It was maybe like three days. I don't even think Sir Edmund Hillary did a spreadsheet when he climbed up Everest. No.

He's like, Sherpa, you got all the crap? Alright, let's go. Who's paying? Who's done this? What are we eating with tonight? But you need people like that in your life. I know. They've taken care of everything. That's what I love about that.

Yeah, we do need them, but for the meantime, we're mocking them. I know. Let's kick it off with Zane in Auckland. Are you the organised person, Zane? Yeah, my wife is pretty organised. Your wife is? What's she done? She does.

She works as an administrator, but she has a spreadsheet for everything. She has our budget for 2022 set up. He won't let me pay a credit card payment right off the number. He makes me pay to the exact same. It is 100% like that, eh?

Well, you've got your 2022 budget laid out. Yep. Grant Robinson would be bloody impressed with your wife. He'd be like,

you got yours sorted early. Mate, we are... Shoot, have you seen what we're doing? Billions in debt. Oh, that's wonderful. Zane, thank you very much. Got the budget sorted. We're looking for the most organised people in the country.

Are you more organised than Ben? We'll get Sue on. Welcome from Auckland. You're organised, Sue. We understand you like listing things and labelling things. Yeah, I do. I do. My organisation is a daily thing.

So, for example, if I'm adding something to the shopping list, it has to go in a group. So, like the dairy items together, the fruit and veg together, and that list goes during the week. And if anyone in the family adds it to the wrong column, it gets cropped off and put on the right column so that it's organised for when you go through the shopping. I love that. The other one I do, and they fairly laugh, but in the linen cupboard, all the sheets and towels are labelled.

I've made little daimyo labels on the shelf, so the queen sheets go in one place, the king sheets in another, and they're all labelled and organised. Ben Boyce is nodding his head. Yeah, I love it all. He's nodding his head. You could never marry Ben. Your house would just be just full of labels everywhere.

Door. Handle. So, well, do you find it burdens your life having to be so organized or it actually just makes you feel better about things? No, I love it. I feel, because I'm organized, I feel in control. I feel like everything's where it should be. Everything's right with the world because it's in its place.

I love it. Because you've got the dairy products in the dairy column. Hold the line, we'll find something for you. That's awesome. We'll get some help pizza now. You might have to organise the family around for that. It's going to happen, but we'll schedule that in. We'll head to Leaston in Canterbury.

Mercer, you're on the air. Welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast. Hello. We understand your hubby is the organised one. More organised than Ben? Yeah, when it comes to going to the airport and our family going on a short trip up to Hamilton, so what my husband does is,

we literally live like 20 minutes away from Christchurch. Yeah. And like I say, he'll, get off flight in the morning and it's a very eight, um, late flight coming back from Hamilton. Yep. So, yes.

We get up probably about three 30 in the morning just to drive to Christchurch airport. So what time is this flight? How early is he getting there? Like a couple of hours early. We get there. So our flight's at six 45 in the morning. our flight's at 6.45 in the morning. We get there at like 4.30 in the morning.

Oh my gosh. It's like an international flight. Yeah. You're getting there for an international flight. I love it though. I love it. Yeah. So he literally doesn't like calm down until we sit next to the boarding gate.

Yeah, that's me. And then the cherry on the top is that before that when we get called that we're boarding our plane, he'll literally get my son and he'll go toilet before we go onto the plane so he doesn't have to go on the plane. Oh, listen, he's got the travelling habits of everyone's parents. I love it. You never want to rattle a boomer in transit, do you? Because if the slightest thing rattles, my parents are the same,

they'll be flying back to Christchurch on a Thursday. I have to drop them off on Tuesday afternoon. If one little thing goes wrong with the domestic travel, not only are the immediate family having to pay for it, but everyone in the wider circle in the airport as well.

That's great, Mercy. You have a good day, eh? Thank you. Thank you so much for sharing that with us. We've got $5,000 to give away. And don't forget, you can comment on any of our posts yesterday at Eden Park and you could win $1,000 and an all-access pass to Eden Park in 2022. That's just after 8 on the show. Jono and Ben, or as they're known in the office, those two. Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast on the hits.

Now, as we talked about before, we went to Eden Park yesterday to throw basketballs off the roof of the stadium to win an amazing prize, which we have to give away. And we had a FaceTime, really interesting FaceTime, with the world record holders. Now, these are guys from Australia. They have a YouTube channel. It's called How Ridiculous.

And basically, they started doing trick shots in their backyard in 2009, and they now have the world record over 200 metres. Yeah, it's phenomenal when you watch some of their attempts, and when you put it against us nailing some shots off the roof at Eden Park, it really pales in comparison, Ben Boyce, when you put the footage next to each other. Yeah, so let's not do that. Yeah, no, we won't do that, But they did actually phone through you today on FaceTime and gave us some advice, which was very useful, actually. Well, first we started talking about their world record attempt.

That happened in a falls in Africa. And as I said, 200 metres is where one of them got the shot in. But you guys have got the world record for the longest basketball shot. That's right. Well, the highest, actually. Just the highest. It may Yeah, just the highest. It may have taken us six days, so strap yourselves in. Six days.

So this is 200 metres, and you would obviously, how were you getting the balls back up? Because that's been a big bugbear here. Yeah, we had actually a group of local walking guides that we paid to hike them up because ours was in, like, a gorge. And they could get about 20 balls on the back two bags and it took them like an hour and a half to hike them up so you guys have got it easier than we had that's for sure yeah we're also closer than you guys were as well that's true yeah it's

easier in every way hang up on these guys they got it on day six and they only allowed seven. They're like, if we don't get it after a week, we're pulling pin on it. So just the commitment. And it took them an hour each day to walk to the top of the cliff. That's unbelievable. It's a crazy shot. Do yourself a favor and have a look at it online. It's a Guinness World Record shot.

It's incredible. Over 200 meters on a falls. And we saw, like, these are the guys I talked to. These are the people that have done what we were trying to do on a bigger scale. So we're like, let's get some advice on FaceTime. They can watch us. Let's get some advice from them. Advice would be repetition.

Try and throw it with some good solid backspin. Yeah, ideally put the hoop somewhere that it's, like, very repeatable. You don't want to put it too far, like, horizontally away. You probably just want to be flicking the wrist. You don't want to be going the big arm throw. And try and find a target that's, like, in line with the hoop at, like, an eye level. Can I be honest?

I've forgotten all of those tips. They were really good, though. Good tips. Really good tips. Yeah, I mean, just keep throwing. Keep throwing until it goes in. That's the number one tip. Yeah, guys, some good advice if you ever find yourself having to chuck a ball

from a very long distance into a hoop. But, yeah, they were quite interesting. And at the end, you know, a bit of trans-Tasman rivalry, Ben. We were on Eden Park, so we needed to reference that. Well, lovely to meet you. We love your work. You guys are awesome at what you do. Every time we put a video out for this thing, everyone's like,

oh, how ridiculous have we already done it and done it better we're like yeah all right sorry about that yeah and you should apologize yeah sorry for being cool and doing good sorry yeah i know bloody australians always do it one better than new zealanders that's our problem i'm sorry it's just we're just born with it. I'm sorry. All right. Thanks for your time, boys. Thanks, lads. Good luck.

See you, mate. When I said we gave them some grief, we didn't give them any grief. I think earlier on we were like, oh, yeah,

we tried to give them grief. We won many games at Eden Park or something, but they were like, you call us after you spent six days in Africa, mate.

We were like, yeah, fair call. They were a bit concerned that we were using volleyballs, weren't they? They were like, ooh. Yeah, we used

volleyballs because we didn't want to dent the grass at Eden Park. Not like they're going to float around in the wind and boy, did they watch. Yeah, they did. Anyway, we got the two shots in eventually, and you can win $1,000 in an all-access pass to Eden Park. Every event at Eden Park next year, you can attend. It's incredible, right?

Yeah, it's a great prize. We'll be doing the draw after eight. If you want to comment on any of the social posts on the Hits Breakfast, you're in that draw. We'll do that. As Johnno said, you want to comment on any of the social posts on the Hits breakfast, you're in that draw. We'll do that. As Jono said, after eight o'clock this morning, it is the Hits. You got it, Jono and Ben. This is Jono and Ben.

They attempt two shots at Eden Park. It was a big day for us yesterday. As we said before, we went to the roof of the stadium at Eden Park. We dressed in all our New Balance clothes. Thank you to New Balance for putting... For making us look far more athletic than our skills would allow. But yeah, I think that's the thing with sport.

If you dress the part, that's 85% of the problem. That's what we went on. Yeah, you as well. We're on top of the roof at the Sky Sports Stadium at Eden Park, and we were throwing down volleyballs into a hoop down below, a basketball hoop, and we're trying to nail two shots

to unlock an amazing prize. Huge, huge distance, isn't it? When you're on the ground looking up, it doesn't look that far, but when you're on the roof looking down, the target just becomes so small. And the wind was taking the balls everywhere, even though it wasn't a super windy day.

And can I just say, the biggest hurdle actually was not shooting the balls through the hoop, but it was assembling the basketball hoop with producer B Humps. Yeah, you guys were very tense that whole thing. I said, you know, because he'd been there the day before and he'd walked away in a huff. He'd gone, I can't do it on myself, on my own. I said, well, listen, I'll help.

I'll come early and I'll help. You could have. You guys are a lot more practical than me. Well, I'm not practical in any way, but I can hold a backboard. That's the main thing. Turned up, and you guys turned up, we were in complete silence. Yeah, I was like, oh. You can tell, you know when you know there's been arguing going on?

Yeah. It was awkward. Yeah. We were sweaty, we were hot, weren't we? Our glasses were fogging up, you know? But we made it through. We got a counselling session with the couples counsellor today. Can I say that it was kind of

off to the left a little bit the hoop it wasn't totally straight but hey that's alright it just made things a bit more difficult

more challenging for us up there on the roof trying to shoot basketballs down there of course I don't know if our relationship can make it back from this bee humps but hey

and anything another thing that made it more challenging was you got a shot in and then you started mocking me and then I was doing it for a while

and then a fire alarm went off. Yeah, we all got evacuated from the stadium. High drama. Just to add a bit more. So Ben, boys, high drama.

As you can hear in the background at Eden Park, there's alarms going off where one shot down and I think that I might have set off the fire alarms

with that hot fire basketball shot from 35, 50, what is it, 500 metres up in the air. Your thoughts? Rate yourself. All right, you know, but that hot fire basketball shot from 35 50 uh what is that 500 meters up in the air your thoughts rate yourself all right you know but it was a great shot from you uh you you hit you were heating up you're on fire sprinklers have gone off just to cool everyone down here so never seen anything like it before so yeah this is just adding to the pressure on me now because i haven't got a shot in yet and now we've all got to take time

because there's a fire drill going on uh and you know there's there's 20 people here you've got 20 of us out here waiting for you and we've all got families we all need to go home you know if you can knock it i'm trying all right i'm trying listen to the smugness of me maybe can i just go home and you just all right i've done my bit uh yeah as we left the roof of the fire drill you you're like, I'll take my car keys. Oh, no, I can't go home. You just looked at me. I was like, oh, mate, all right.

But we have got an amazing prize because we've both got the two shots. The video will be out later today, but let's call someone that commented on one of our social posts. Good morning, Hannah speaking. Hannah! It's Jono and Ben calling from the Hits Radio station.

Hi, Jono and Ben, how are you? Good, do you want to know a fun fact? Go! Your name can be spelt the same forwards and backwards. Yes, you can. My kids are all looking very confused right now in the car. Hi kids, how are ya? Yeah, this is it's Jono and Ben here.

Yeah, I said that. That might have hurt. Did you hear that? You guys off to school and work? Yeah, they're going off to school and then I'll turn around and go home because I work from home. Oh, well it's not often that your hero Ben Boyce just phones you in the car. Is there anything you want to say to your hero, kids?

What would you like to say? Don't do this, Jono. Is there anything you want to say to the kids, your fans? Don't do this. No, there's something I want to say to Hannah. Hey, Hannah, you commented on one of our posts at Eden Park yesterday when we were trying to make the two basketball shots. I did.

And guess what? You are our winner. Oh, my God. That is so awesome. You have an access, an ah, ah, ah pass, access all areas pass to Eden Park next year, plus $1,000. Now, any event that's on at Eden Park, you can go to. Yeah, so it's two tickets to every 2022 event.

It includes cricket, includes blues rugby. There's a Powerade G9 golf, there's concerts. So 660, Guns N' Roses so far have been announced. Eden Park experiences, like you can do the rooftop tour up where we were doing, stadium glamping as well. And there's plenty more things that should be announced as well. So you're going to all those things at Eden Park next year. That is so awesome.

I think I'm going to be able to fight my kids off to who wants to come with mom. Well, you better be the best behave. And let's not forget the $1,000 cold, hard cash. I don't know why the cash always has to be so cold and hard, but it is in radio, and you've got that. Oh, that is so cool. Thank you guys so much. Now, kids, it's not often your hero Ben Boyce rings,

but then it's also not often that he gives you a plethora of prizes. What do you want to say to him now, kids? Don't do this, Johnny. Don't do this. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Touching moment there.

It's like when Dwayne the Rock Johnson gave a car to that guy. The same sort of thing. Ben Boyce, changing lives. Well done, and thank you so much for listening. Thank you for following the madness. Thanks, guys, and thanks for being eggs and getting up on the roof you're very welcome i'm glad enjoy that well i'm very jealous you get to go to all those events next year it sounds amazing oh god that is amazing thank you uh oh have a great day hannah we really appreciate you listening and following our journey and if you want to go to edenpark.co.nz,

So you can go along and check out all those events and maybe they'll let you throw some basketballs from the roof of the stadium. Scrolling through your feed. He's been busy foraging through the news like some sort of ferret with a lot on his to-do list. He's a busy guy.

It's Ben Boyce with Scrolling. So Christopher Luxon is the new National Party leader, and he has been sort of sparring off in the House and Parliament against Labour at the moment. And Grant Robertson yesterday in Parliament was really, was giving him a bit of grief, as they like to do in Parliament. One of the quotes he used, Grant Robertson from the Labour Party, was he said, 50 shades of beige is how he described Christopher

Luxon as well. He also gave him some grief because on his first day as leader, he hired a car, Christopher Luxon, to sort of go, it was like from his apartment to the Beehive. It wasn't a very long journey. It was pretty much across the road, but they reckon he hired a black Mercedes car and Grant Robertson gave him a bit of grief about this. If you're looking for a man of the people, get your power tools at Bunnings kind of vibe, hiring a black Mercedes to drive across the road doesn't really fit it, Mr Speaker.

And in fact, Exhibit A, as I have it here, would show you that Mr Luxon's journey of productivity didn't start well. What would have been a quick two-minute stroll across the road turned into a four-minute drive, Mr. Speaker, not a productive drive. And I do note that it required Mr. Luxon to travel straight for 43 seconds before turning right for a minute, turning right again, turning left, turning right again. This will be the pattern of his leadership. Oh! It just, we were talking about this yesterday, it feels like the most unnecessary part of

being a politician is the six hours they spend in a room roasting each other. I know, if you prepared that. Someone had to write that. It probably took about three or four hours brainstorming some gags and seeing if they're landing. Larkson replied, actually, along those lines, saying, finally, Grant Robinson has done some work. He's put it into a speech and sadly not into the economy.

Oh! Mr Speaker. And they're always referencing it to Mr Speaker, but it's never to the Speaker. It's definitely aimed at the person sitting opposite them. Yeah, right. It's like if we gave each other grief and they went, ah, Juliet.

It's like when two frustrated parents have an argument through their baby, you know, through their child. Well, Daddy has not been home from work on time for the last seven days. Oh, well, every time Daddy comes home, Mummy's always giving him grief. You know, you can kind of, you can use something else as a portal for your argument. And finally, for the first time in centuries,

the world's population is set to decline. It's a few decades away, but it's going to decline. So currently there's about 7.8 billion people in the world, and the numbers expected to peak at 2064. So we'll get to 9.7 billion, and then it'll drop to 8.8 billion. Now, they reckon this has a lot to do with contraceptives, and also that not as many people particularly...

Not as many people getting laid. So let's call a stone a stone, or whatever you mean to call it. Spade a spade. And a 50% drop in some population for some countries, they reckon, as well, which seems like a lot, 50%. You know, I got into a, and I wanted to talk more about it tomorrow, but I'll just do a light dusting of it today. The Worldometer or the Worldometer. I never know what to call them.

If it's the Worldometer or Worldometer.com, look at it. It's incredible it just gives you huge bucket loads of anxiety you're just seeing numbers crawl up real time of uh population like you said 7.9 billion at the moment uh so many babies a lot a lot of babies being born 131 million babies this year 94 000 birth000 births just today. Just today. And climbing. Babies everywhere, Ben Boyd. Another one here. 68 billion emails have been sent today.

Wow. 67 of them are from Ben in the last hour. Yeah. Wow. Crazy. I guess it's across the world. I mean, yeah. Does that count for a wee part of today or tomorrow, me being in New Zealand because

we're one of the first? But yeah. The world is a busy place. There's a lot going on. There's stuff going on. There are 229 million computers produced this year. 1.7 million cell phones have been sold today. Wow.

Stuff's happening. Over to our celebrity reporter, Juliette, who's got a positive outlook on life and instant access to the New Zealand Herald Entertainment section. Welcome, Jude. So, Chris Hemsworth, would you say that he is the most well-known Hemsworth brother? Yeah, the rest of them pale in comparison. I don't agree with that.

If the family put out a Christmas newsletter, he'd probably get two paragraphs. The others would probably get one. They'd be like, Chris did this, and he filmed this, and he filmed it. Extraction, another Thor coming out. Great year for Chris. Liam, he did some stuff. I think he did like a Chemist's Warehouse commercial. And Specsavers, didn't he do a Specsavers?

And then is there a third brother as well? I think there is, but I can't remember. I like Liam. He's the achievable Hemsworth. Yes, I would agree. He's the achievable Hemsworth. Yes. I would agree. He's the one you're like, you know, he's obtainable. So Chris posted some photos on Instagram with his brother Liam.

Some brotherly love photos. They look very happy brothers in this photo and he captioned it, Always great interacting with my fans. Met this young lad recently. Reminded me of my younger self. Not on looks but just a real go-getter attitude. He insisted on the resemblance, and I should him no one else has this look.

Was great to meet you, Leon. Good luck in the future. Love it. Love it. That is classic Aussie humour. Is it? Is it? Because he was with Miley Cyrus for many years.

Were they married? They were. Oh, yes, they were. They did get married for a short time. I think it was for like a year or so. But it's funny funny because I always thought of Liam as the main one because I knew

who he was before I knew who Chris was it depends on what movies you're into yeah you kind of watched first but um

I knew Chris I'm a big Home and Away fan you know this Ben boy so I he used to be on Home and Away and then he hit the big time in Hollywood

and he came back to Summer Bay because that's the kind of guy he is he came back to Summer Bay because that's the kind of guy he is. He came back to the diner, to Irene's diner, and he did a cameo in a scene. It was just a scene where Elf's saying flaming mongrels, flaming galah, ratty ratty rat. But if you look in the background, it's just Chris Hemsworth eating Eggs Benedict in the background. No lines. Just came back as a background extra on the show where he got his start. Humble. Love that. No lines. Just came back for a, you know, as a background extra.

That's so good. On the show where he got his start, yeah. Oh, humble. Love that for him. He definitely stole that scene because you spend the whole time going, is that Chris Hemsworth

eating eggs Benedict? And we did speak about this a little bit yesterday. So a new movie that's coming out on the 24th of December on Netflix, Don't Look Up.

It's the one with Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Jonah Hill, Meryl Streep, all the big bangers. Jennifer Lawrence revealed the worst part of filming that movie was that she lost a tooth during filming quite early on. I think it was a veneer.

But she couldn't get to a dentist until the filming had stopped because they were kind of in, like, the dentists weren't open because of COVID. And she also accidentally swallowed her nose ring that her character wears, like, multiple times throughout shooting. I think it was a magnetic nose ring, so it was very easy for it to come out. She swallowed her nose ring multiple times. So this nose ring passed through her system more than once. Sorry, she nearly swallowed her... Oh, maybe she did. But then she also said that one of the times where maybe she nearly swallowed it, she spat it out in Leonardo DiCaprio's face.

So that was... That's like, if you're doing it multiple times, that's a learn from your first mistake scenario, isn't it? Yeah, true. It's incredible how it goes from their nose into your mouth. Maybe it kind of went in her throat. Yeah. Coughed it up in front of Leonardo DiCaprio's face. But I'm very excited to watch that movie.

It looks very good. I think it's about Leonardo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence's characters. They're like these astronauts that are trying to warn the world of a meteor about to crash into Earth, but it's quite a funny sort of dark comedy movie. Very excited to watch that. Yeah, that's great. It reminded me of my son once swallowed a marble at daycare. Oh, no.

Yeah, and you go to the doctor, you're like, they just got away. You've got to wait for nature to take its course. Then do you have to sift? Right. Isn't that a lot of point? And it turns out, apparently, I'm the sifter. It turns out that was... Yeah, you're very sifty, sir.

I wouldn't put it past you, that's for sure. Warning, this show contains traces of Jono and Ben. The Hits, with Jono and Ben for breakfast. Oh, God, I had a moment yesterday. I was actually at the Chemist Warehouse. You know, fine sponsors of the afternoon show here at the Hits radio station. Chemist Warehouse. And a lady came up to me, and I was wearing a shirt that was of a similar colour to the staff of the Chemist Warehouse.

You know what's about time. It happens in every shopper's career where you mistake a fellow consumer for the store worker. Yeah. And she's like, do you know where the bee pollen vitamins are? And for some reason, when you are the person who is confused with the store worker, you feel like, well, I need to help this.

And I'm too polite to say that. I don't want to make it awkward. I don't want to say, oh, listen, I don't actually work at chemist's warehouse so then i'm trying to i'm trying to fumble more around the store helping her find the bee pollens i'm like well i think the vitamins are over here oh my god this guy does nothing about it i'm ducking down i'm following all the vitamins with my fingers uh and we got the bee pollen in the end she uh she had a wonderful chemist's warehouse.

At no stage did you drop character? No. Why? I felt like when I got to the counter, I've just pulled a shift out there, guys. You should be getting a staff discount. Give me a 50% off these antidepressants I'm getting or something. But have you made that mistake with another shopper?

Yeah, you feel guilty too. You're like, excuse me. Is this actually there? But the person that I did it to was straight away going, I don't work here. And you feel like a schmuck, don't you? You feel like you've sort of

talked down to them? Like, they're not on your level. Oh, you look like the help. Have you done it, Ju? I don't know if I have because I'm so paranoid of doing it that I always kind of just like wait to see if they've turned around

or I'll just double check. And if I see like a little logo, I'm like, okay, sweet that I always kind of just like wait to see if they've turned around or I'll just double check and if I see like a little logo I'm like okay sweet I can go you know the most embarrassing one I just come to mind was when I tried on something didn't really fit didn't want it and I gave it to someone who didn't I said oh I won't be taking these today and I gave it to the person and they held it they looked at me and they're like, I don't work here. You're like, that's fine. Yeah, I know. Put them away though. I'm a busy person. Have you seen me on TV?

I've got stuff to do. Yeah, I love that. How arrogant is this guy just coming out here going, ah, that didn't fit. There you take these. You know what I hate too? You pull out an item of clothing, whether it is a pair of trousers, and you hold the trousers up and you go, hmm, not for me.

But then you're in the position where you have to fold them back up. And you can never replicate the folding that's been done. Yeah. So I'm sure the store workers looking over, they know that this is a substandard fold-taking place. Yeah, they're like, oh, mate's not going to fold these properly, is he? Who in the history has ever refolded the exact same way that they want? No, never. It's never happened. I always end up scrunching

up and hiding it. Three under. After seven o'clock on the show, we've got five words, $5,000 that is the hits you got, Jono and Ben. Broadcasting live and mostly awake. Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast on the hits.

Bunnings, you know Bunnings, the store. It's not just a department store. It's got everything. Everything. Such a big store. Yeah, we just talked about it during the song. And you made a really good observation about every adult in Bunnings. And I do it as well.

I think everyone listening right now, don't you? You just walk through like you're in a daze. And you're always looking up because it's so big. You're looking at the aisle numbers. And you're just looking up at all the stuff because you're always i'm always feeling like i'm constantly lost it's like the equivalent of a maze for adults you know like when you just look at me but everyone's on the same journey like everyone's is equally as confused you're right everyone's just looking up like they're daydreaming but but in their own world

just looking for the one item they need. Yeah. And I'd like to spare a thought, too, for all the hardworking retail staff out there at the moment just getting their ears assaulted with Christmas music. We play one every hour or so, don't we? We should biff on some Mariah Carey or Bublé or something. We can handle it. But, you know, there's people out there doing 12-hour days. They can't escape the Christmas madness. Exactly.

Yeah, it's a pretty impressive uh so i was just sent in to pick up a couple i needed to get two items uh they're actually christmas presents so i was like on a clear mission to pick up these two items and i did that thing ben when you got your head looking up at the roof just sort of wandering around lost and squinting slightly kind of squinting do i need trail mix i'm gonna be here for hours should i send you to a search party yeah um and so you get your two items and it's great but then a problem when you go into like a kmart mighty mega any just large farmers big store that just has an abundance of just stuff from a range of categories, is you walk past items and you're like, I need one of those. Yeah.

You know? Oh, yes. It happens all the time. Yeah. Even the supermarkets are for that, you know? Like to get in and get out with the items on your list, it's an impossible task. Impossible, yeah.

You walk past every item that you never knew you needed in your life. Oh, my God, just, yeah. So I got the two items that I needed yesterday, but also returned home with jumper cables. Oh, my God. You need jumper cables. I can't remember the last time I needed jumper cables. You probably didn't have them, so you're like, maybe I did.

I didn't have them, but I was like, oh, yeah, I don't have those. But, yeah, again, I haven't jumped a car or needed to jump a car in probably five years. But if you do, he's the guy to go. What else did I walk out with yesterday? Just about three or four different items. And I got home and Jennifer was like, why have you got a water-blasting attachment for the hose?

And I said, well, because the hose just comes out, it sort of dribbles out like something with a prostate problem. Oh, my God. So I thought we'd give it some more power. And I didn't need that either. I also got some bleach, you know, that you spray and walk away

sort of the 30 seconds off stuff. I'm never going to use that. I'm never going to use that but I said, I'd be nice to have stuff, no mould or guns around the house. I love it when you go into a shop

and you're on a clear mission and then you end up with all this other stuff and then you walk out of there and you're like, I forgot what the items that I was actually there to get. Yes. Which is not up with all this other stuff and then you walk out of there and you're like, I forgot one of the items that I was actually there to get. Yes!

Which is not like four or five other things. But you've walked out with a 12-person tent. You're like, good, I got that. You're like, ah, jeez.

You go home and you're like, oh yeah, they didn't have what we wanted to a minute. You're like, no, I definitely didn't forget. I do that all the time when I go home from the supermarket.

She's like, did you pick up the thing? And you're like, oh, shit. No, they're out of milk. Yeah, out. Out of all the milks. Every go over to the supermarket she's like did you pick up the thing and you're like oh shit no they're out of milk I thought out of all the milks every single milk did you get the cheese

no no there's no cheese dairy shortage I think I heard it on the news we got $5,000 up for grabs very shortly it is the hits you got John O'Baird five words for 5k on the hits you're only five words away

But he banged on anyway No respect for the people who are sick of you banging Stop banging, Ben. But he did it anyway. But you need to. You need to reset for maybe some new friends we have listening to the show.

And we'd like to welcome you with open arms and bring you up to speed with everything that's taking place. But it is a favourite part of the show, favourite game we play on the show along with Debut Doctor, where we debut people

on his wife Chrissy Teigen when it came to getting a tattoo done by their five-year-old daughter Luna. Luna was drawing on us one night, and then she's like, I love this, this is the best butterfly I've ever drawn. I was like, I agree. And then she drew a beautiful floral bouquet on John's arm. He was like, I'll tattoo mine if you tattoo yours. And I was like, well, I don't want to say it, but yours looks a lot better than mine.

But we support the arts in our household. So he got one of the flowers. He didn't even end up getting it. Oh, no. So he took a picture of it. And he was like, I'll take a picture of it. And then I'll go get it done. And then I went and got mine done.

He never went and got his done. No. So, but I love it, Luna, so much. Yeah. Leaving her in the lurch. Tattoo stitch-up. Oh, Ben, you've fallen victim to a tattoo stitch-up many times, haven't you?

From you, normally. I've got a couple of tattoos from drawings from my daughters. I've noticed that. It's really cute. Part of a big collection. You've also got a mullet on your head shaved by your daughters as well. Is that cute as well?

Yeah. I actually got it fixed up yesterday professionally. Oh, is that a professional fix-up? But I'm still rolling. I was like, yeah, I'll roll with the mullet. I'll roll with it over summer. Did the hairdresser go, wow, okay, what are we doing here? I took the hat off and it was like, oh, okay. It was sort of one of those, okay.

I was like, hey, give it a go, give it a go. Why not? Looks good, looks good. It does. Yeah, okay. It was sort of one of those. I see. Yeah. I was like, hey, give it a go, give it a go. Why not, you know? It looks good, looks good. It does. Yeah, whatever. I like it. Do you have any tattoos drawn by your kids, Jonah? No, no.

I've got a range of stuff going on me. On my chest, I've got a dog. Almost worse than a child. Dogs smoking a cigarette. And then there's a skull also smoking a cigarette, which, you know, you never want. Lung cancer, do you? So that's a skull also smoking a cigarette, which, you know, you never want lung cancer, do you? So that's a friendly reminder. Yeah.

There's a tiger fighting a serpent on my chest there. The age-old question, who wins that battle? I don't know. We'll find out. And then for some reason I've just got a boat on my guts. Really? Wow. Looks like the Endeavor, I'd say.

Do you plan them or do you just go to the tattoo parlor and you're like, I like that. That's a bit rogue. Give me that one. I don't go in there with a plan, no. And you would never know that looking at the works of art that grace my body. But no, I don't. Maybe I should.

It's Easter, right? And just a reminder that the Sex and the City reboot called And Just Like That is debuting tomorrow in New Zealand if you want to watch it. Is it Neon? Yes, it'll air on Neon and Sky Go at 1pm each Friday starting from tomorrow and tomorrow

it'll begin with a double episode premiere so you get two in a row and then if you don't have Neon or Sky Go it will also air on Mondays from the 20th of December at 9.30pm on Soho. Ben, you took our We Got sent a Sex in the City blanket. I did.

And he took that blanket home. It was a little chilly bin with a couple of bottles of wine. Did you have sex on that blanket? Oh, God. In the city? No. No. But I had some wine in it.

I was leaving work the other day. They were like, this is for you. And I looked at it and I said, oh, Jono and Ben. And I was like, well, I'm on my way out to the car. I told you the next day. You did tell me. I said, hey, I've took this thing home. And you're said, oh, Jono and Ben. I was like, well, I'm on my way out to the car. I told you the next day. You did tell me. I said, hey, I've took this thing home. You're like, oh, yeah, well, yeah.

And I posted it too. It said, no one tell Jono, and I don't think anyone has. Jono and Ben, the hits. I did something, and I think everyone has done this, particularly with phones and computers these days. It's just ignored when they remind you about something. This is normally about an upgrade,

or in my case, someone set up my computer a few years ago to back up. You need to plug it in, plug in a little hard drive to back it up. And I'm like, it's 1006 days now, because it reminds me every day you have not backed up your computer. Yeah, and it's just a gentle reminder as well. The computer's trying to help you. It's trying to do you a favor that you know if all

things turn to custard you want to back up mate and i've been reminding you every day for a thousand to a thousand days and i've clicked ignore because it kind of backs up to the cloud anyway i'm like but it also goes you this gives you an option too Where it's like remind me later Or not now And I love the tone of like Not now Now's not a good time You know that

Not now But it got me looking online last night About things that All of us as humans We secretly do Jeez that's 2.7 years You've said no not now this before covid but i thought yeah there's this there's a it was a great list online it was a bestlifeonline.com

was a website and they were like things we all secretly do and maybe we don't admit to it like saying not now to your computer and things like that. So I thought I'd read out a couple and see if you guys can be honest and see if you've ever done these things before. Okay, calling someone buddy or mate because you forgot their name. All the time. Legend's one for you, too, eh? Julia, have you? Yes, I think I have, yeah.

Legend has pulled me out of so many situations because you smoke screen them and they're like, jeez, you just called me a legend. And they, in their head, they can't even think about the fact that you might not have remembered their name. They're just like, he thinks I'm a legend. It's great. Good saving.

All right, you've done that one. Lying to the doctor when asked about your alcoholic drink consumption. Yes. It must happen to all doctors with every patient, where the doctors probably go, okay, this is what I've asked them. This is what they've told me. I'm gathering they've minused it by about 85%.

I'll add that on to get the real figure. I've all done that. Eating a family-sized bag of chips all by yourself. You have done that. I do that every week. Oh, yes. When I was a child, with afternoon tea down a whole family box.

I had a cheesecake, an entire cheesecake from a whole family box. I ate a cheesecake, an entire cheesecake from the cheesecake shop on the motorway while driving, on the way home. It was meant to be for dessert for the family. Then I went over to the cheesecake. I ate it on the southern motorway. Okay, ignoring someone's email for weeks,

then writing back and saying, oh, sorry, I don't know how this ended up in my spam folder. Yeah, dude, sorry, I don't know how this ended up in my spam folder. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Mumbling the name of someone's name in the happy birthday part. Yes.

In the office where you're not entirely sure of their name. Yeah. Totally. All right. This one is going to really put you on the spot. Using the bathroom at a friend's house and peeking into their medicine cabinet. Oh, my God. All the time.

All the time. I've never done this. Yeah. No, I've done it at Ben's house and peeking into their medicine cabinet. Oh, my God. All the time. All the time. I've never done this. Yeah, and I've done it at Ben's house. Really? I've had a good old rummage through his pills and potions. Sometimes I use some of the face gel on my eye. And this last one, I reckon, Juliet, would have definitely done. Taking a break from the internet on your computer to check out the internet on your phone.

Yes. Smaller news. I'm looking on this website, and it says also stumbler, when you stumble when you're walking, and you turn it into a funny dance. Oh, my God. They're quite good, these, eh? I reckon we'll bring this back. There's plenty more.

I did that the other day. You're tripping, and then you try and save it with sort of a jog, like a slow jog or a half canter, hoping that no one's noticed. This is very good. Hey, next, we've got $9,000 to give away. Next, we're going to do it next. It's thanks to Resene. We've got something hidden in the Resene paint tin.

And if you think you know what it is, you can call us right now. 0800 THE HITS. It is it. Resene, your home of Kiwi-made paints and colors this summer, presents Jono and Ben's $10,000 mystery color mix. Yeah, help us guess the summer thing that's inside the Rosene paint tin and you could win, well it started at $10,000

now is it $9,000? Yeah. Yes, this will be an $8,900 guess. Now those are the sultry tones of our producer Bee Humps. Bee Humps is a lovely producing lumps, check him out. He is the only person who knows what summer item is in the tin. Each guess

that we all throw, including Ben, myself, Juliet, and you, we lose $100 off the prize pool. We start with $10,000. Where are we at now, Ben? $8,900 is this guess. So if someone gets it correct, they'll get $8,900. So let's

rattle it again. It's a summer item. That's what we really know. It's light, but it's got a little bit of weight at the same time. I mean, it's small, but it's got a little bit of punch, doesn't it? It does. Now we've figured out that it's not a giant umbrella. No, you're right. Or melanoma.

Now both of those things, summer items, that is not inside the tin. And we've got $500 that we can lose off the prize pool if we want a clue. Is that, is it clue day? Is it clue day or should we see how these guesses go first? Yeah. Maybe at the end of these. We'll decide if we get an extra clue.

Okay, we're going to kick it off in Cockle Bay with Paula. Welcome, how are you? Hi, good, thanks. How's Cockle Bay today? It's looking lovely, actually. Looks pretty good. Might head down there later on, jump in. Sounds nice.

Are there a plentiful supply of cockles? Because, you know. No, you'd think so, but no, you can't actually touch them anymore. No, you would think so. Yeah, you would. The bay named after the cockles. They nailed their foot to the floor. Cockle-less bay.

Hey, Paula, what do you think the item is in the Resene tin? What about sunglasses? Oh. Paula. Here we go. It's not sunglasses. No, he drags it out.

He drags it out. Oh, good on you, Paula. Paula's got not cockles to look at down at the beach. She's got places to be. Hey, have a great day, Paula. Appreciate you listening to the show. Hayley, welcome from the Waikato.

Is this our old mate, Hayley? Hey, good day. Hey, good to have you on. All right, what's the guess? What's the summer item in the tin? I'm just going to guess, is it a bundle of money wrapped up? A roll, yeah, like a bundle of money.

Some cash. Have you got some cash wrapped up in there, like some sort of wrapper from a video? It isn't cash. Oh, so where are we at now, Producer Behem? This next guess will be 8,700. I do appreciate those people who have just giant bundles of cash. They hold them up to their ear like a phone.

Why do they do that? What's that symbolise? What is that? Hey, we'll go on to Debbie from Te Arawa. Welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast. What's the item in the Resene paint tin, Debs? Is it a paintbrush? Ooh, a paintbrush.

Each item, you're like, ooh, a bundle of money. Ooh, some sunglasses. Ooh. Sorry, Debbie, it's not a paintbrush. It's not a paintbrush.

Alright, so are we at clue time? Ah, Debs, what do you know? Should we get Debs on? What do you reckon? Do we waste $500 on a clue now, Debs? Yeah, go for it. No, Debs, well, she's got no... It doesn't matter to Debbie, does it? What do you reckon? Do we do a clue?

This'll put you down to $8,300. I mean, it's still a lot of money. It's still a lot of money. Yeah, it's a ton of cash. My heart's not saying it's clue time yet. Okay, we'll hold off. How about you put it to the vote tomorrow on the show? Yeah.

Before we do it, we'll put it to the vote, and then we'll get a clue before going into it. All right, it's back tomorrow morning, just after 8.30. What is inside the Resine Painter? And this is fun. Ooh, you know it is, because I keep saying, right, it's back tomorrow morning, just after 8.30. What is inside the Resene Painting? This is fun. Ooh, you know it is because I keep saying

ooh, it is. I am actually really, really enjoying it because we don't know what it is. I only produce the bee humps but if you can guess the summer thing

in the Resene Painting you win all that money that's left over and if you have guests coming over for Christmas and your deck is a mess you can decorate your deck in a day

with the Resene Timber and Deck Wash from Resene Woodsman Timberstains. Yeah, just spelling out it's D-E-C-A. Yeah, I know. Was I not quite clear enough on that? It is a hit, so you've got Jono in bed. Want more Jono in bed?
