Jono, Ben & Megan - The Podcast - FULL: Is This The Most Awkward Encounter With An Ex OF ALL TIME?

Episode Date: August 13, 2021

We spoke about the awkward encounters you've had with an ex, and golly gosh some belters came through. People whose ex was their midwife, people whose ex wanted them to be their egg donor... you name it, we probably had that call on. We also played one of our fun games called Liar Liar, where we have 2 people on the phone explaining some wild stories, but one of them is lying. Today's liar was blatantly obvious! But the person telling the truth had an incredible story from their travels. Today was a fun one. Enjoy the poddy!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy, happy, happy, oh, oh Just when you thought you couldn't get enough of Jono and Ben You can have them anywhere, anytime Welcome to the Jono and Ben Podcast Kia ora, it's Friday the 13th, oh it's Friday the 13th. Oh, it's Friday the 13th? Oh, spooky. I was born on a Friday the 13th.

Oh, yeah. It's never really hindered me. Well, maybe it has. Maybe it does explain a lot. Yeah. I'll tell you what I did a couple of days ago that I haven't done, and I think it affected me. I think it was have a coffee at 8.30 at night.

I had a coffee, not like a boomer situation, you know, where a boomer goes to a restaurant and then my dad will go, I've been after dinner coffee. I do that. Is that a boomer thing? I think it's a boomer thing. I do that all the time. I think it's a boomer thing.

It's more just to straighten me out. So, oh, geez, I'm a bit all over the show here. Maybe that's a reason. I thought it was a boomer thing, but maybe it's a quick sober me up. So you can walk out kind of straight from the restaurant. I did that. We were doing these night courses, and I knew we had to have a cup of tea break, and there was no more tea bags.

So I was like, oh, I have an instant coffee. And I don't really drink too much instant coffee, particularly at 8.30 at night. You don't need it. You're always running at a level four. You're always operating at a high. Could not sleep after, you know? Even from an instant. But I think it was a combination of a few other things.

There was a lot going on that day and trying to get your brains kind of working because you're trying to think late at night. But I was like, oh, maybe an instant coffee at 8.30 is not a good idea when you're trying to go to bed a bit later. When are you studying night courses? Today.

Are you trying to become a lawyer or something? What are you doing? It's not radio. I clearly haven't got any better at that. Trying to see if there's another career for me. It's a real estate. Yeah, really working. It's a hell of a surprise. I'm going to spring on you one day and go, hey,

yeah, now a fully qualified lawyer. So, how have you been doing this? Night classes once a week for the last 22 years. It's a slow process, but jeez, I can't wait to end radio. Good on you for doing it today, of course. It's very early days on a journey towards it, but I want to be better at it, and I think it's good for

all New Zealanders. It really is. Yeah, I should... Kids today are learning a lot more at school, which is awesome. And then probably we did when we were at school. It's great that it's been worked into the curriculum now. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Because there's a generation of kids who are going to be, you know, aware of te reo and be able to use it to a certain level. Yeah. And also who are purely petrified that we've ruined the planet for them. That's right. Yeah.

Yeah. Which is great. That as well has been taught from an early age as well. That's great. I love getting that fear in the kids. Sienna, your daughter's here. Are you worried that we've destroyed the planet for you, Sienna? No.

Just go, yes, yes. Yes, yes. Yeah, good, good. That's what we wanted. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's still fear in children. What's the worst thing that I could give you in your school lunchbox? Glad wrap.

Yeah, well, there you go. I'd say something wrapped in plastic. Muesli bar wrap. Just say something wrapped in plastic. Something wrapped in plastic. Musely bar wrapped. Just say something wrapped in plastic. Something wrapped in plastic. Yeah, that's right. It's worse than giving them cigarettes in their lunchbox. Is he still putting ciggies in your lunchbox?

Not anymore. Not anymore. Not anymore. I've given up. She's just vaping now. Oh, no. Got nicotine patches. No, she's not.

No, she's not. Anyway, I enjoyed the podcast today. We had a really fun one today. An amazing story about a midwife. And the situation happened when a lady was giving birth in Australia. And their connection was just... Just radio fodder. I feel like we're not the only show in New Zealand or the world to touch on this story.

It'd be a crime if we were the only show. Like, I'd be disappointed in radio as an industry if we were the only one to cover this. I imagine every show was doing this, and so are we, but jeez, we enjoyed it, and you'll enjoy it on the podcast. Enjoy. New Zealand's breakfast. This is Jono and Ben on the hits. Kia ora, good morning. Just got 8 o'clock. You're with Jono

and Ben on the hits. Yesterday, it was announced by the Prime Minister, all New Zealanders aged 16 and over can book their first vaccine from the 1st of September. And second doses will now be six weeks apart. And just online a couple of hours ago, Healthline have actually responded to, there's been a lot of rumours circulating this week about imminent lockdowns. Oh yeah, I kicked those off on TikTok.

How are they going? Is the word getting out there? Well, they've actually responded to that saying there's been a lot of rumours circulating around. None of the rumours are true. There's currently no community cases of COVID-19 in New Zealand or any imminent lockdown. Bee Humps, producer Bee Humps on Wednesday, he messaged the group, I've had all good authority. Two people, separate people that don't know anyone.

Two separate people, good authority. He said good authority. He keeps shaking his head saying he didn't say good authority that we're going into a lockdown that evening. I went to bed and I said, where's the lockdown? Nothing. Didn't get a response. No.

Swooped up in the madness. Now they've responded to that, so there you go. That's your latest news. Hey, Nick, I'm going to talk about awkward ex-encounters. Ben's got hold of a story that involves a midwife and probably you wouldn't wish this situation upon your worst enemy, would you? This would be just horrific

so awkward we want to know on 4487 or 0800 the hits what has been your awkward ex encounter because I don't know if we can beat this story but we'll certainly try next it is the hits you got Jono and Ben it's Bad Liar Imagine Dragons you're on the hits Jono and Ben

809 now we're talking awkward ex encountersencounters. There was a story that we read yesterday. So this happened in Brisbane over there in Australia. So, you know, there's no argument that, you know, a woman giving birth is probably one of the most sort of awkward, it can be an awkward experience, you know, very vulnerable experience. And so she was, this lady's experience was made even more awkward

by the fact that she was in hospital. She was about to give birth and then her midwife announced that her shift had ended and she was going to go home and her replacement midwife

came in. It turned out to be the woman's ex-boyfriend. He was the midwife. Oh dear. So he saw through the whole... Yeah. They'd hardly kept in contact

since they'd it out he came in and he was like hey such and such she's like oh hey and and just the position she's in too like oh god she looked over she said she looked over her to i had a partner her husband and he was like are you effing kidding me that's what he said when he came into the room. Is this actually happening right now? But apparently, like, it all worked out really well. He did a great job. He kept checking up on them for the next couple of days in hospital. You know, he even brought them gifts.

They now keep in touch. And they're now friends. And they are, you know, and they sort of find out what's happening with each other's lives. But you can imagine in that moment, you're like, you're giving birth and it's uh-oh. But then the current partner would be like, don't buy gifts.

No, what's happening here? Don't get too familiar. Back off. Back off. You've seen everything you could see. What more do you want? What more can I give you? And why was the lady in the mid-shift change?

Is she like, I'm going to head out and chuff some darts. Someone else is going to. Someone else will take over. I would have thought that a midwife would have, yeah, that would be part of their thing. You'd see it through, wouldn't you? It's like a shift worker

at McDonald's or something. Oh, I can see your head. Oh, no, but it's singing time. Smoke, oh. We'll see him bury him. Yeah, so there you go. It's a very awkward ex-encounter. So we didn't think we could beat that,

but we thought we'd throw it out there. We'll have some fun throwing it out there. Yeah, Anna, you're on from Christchurch. She's just called through to 0800 The Hits. How are you, Anna? I'm good, thanks.

How are you? Yeah, good, thanks. What happened to you? Mine was actually on my wedding day. So I got dropped off maybe like 10-second walk from my wedding venue and I was walking in with all my bridesmaids and my ex walked out of the shop and literally bumped into me and asked what I was up to for the day.

Then I was very quickly on my way to get married to my now husband. But surely you worked out what you were up to. Were you in a wedding dress or not quite at that stage? Yes, I was literally like five minutes away from walking down the aisle. I was walking into my venue. I had all my bikes made with me. And it was one of those awkward, oh, what are you up to type things.

I'm just going to get married. I'll see you later and just keep walking. Did he offer congratulations? No, just like, oh, have a good up to? I'm just going to get married. I'll see you later. And just kept walking. Oh, did he offer congratulations? No, just like, oh, have a good day. And kind of left. Didn't have a good day. I guess in that position, you would be a bit sort of like. But then afterwards, he would have been going,

oh, what was I thinking? I should have said. What are you up to? More than anything. Yeah, it is one of those walk away and think, oh, I should have said that. Yeah. Julie, hey, thanks, Anne.

I really appreciate you calling through this morning. Drew, you keep bumping into exes while you're on other dates, don't you? Yeah, yeah, and it's really awkward. Yeah, it hasn't happened in a while, actually, which I'm very thankful for. But when it does, you just avoid eye contact. How many times has it happened? Oh, maybe about three or four. But it's not always ex-boyfriends.

It could be, like, guys that I've gone on, like, maybe three or four dates with.'s not always ex-boyfriends. It could be like guys that I've gone on like maybe three or four dates with. So we definitely know each other, but you're like, oh, this is, nope, I did want to get out of this situation. Didn't you have one where you were dining next to your ex and his entire family with your new date? I swear to God, if he's listening right now, this is so awkward. Yeah, yeah, I was on a date with someone and my ex-boyfriend and his whole family walked past and he waved at me and I was like,

oh dear God, oh dear God, don't come up to me, don't come up to me because this is a very awkward situation to explain yeah and he walked away thank god okay that's where we've started where can we end up oh 800 the hits awkward ex encounters I've got no stories because thankfully the one person I dated I convinced I tricked into marrying I'll find out next if anyone can beat that it is the hits. It's Pink Bad Influence. It is the hits. You've got Jono and Ben.

We're talking awkward ex-encounters after a story out of Australia that a lady was giving birth a few years ago, and her midwife ended up having to leave mid-shift, and a new midwife came in, and it turned out the midwife was her ex-boyfriend. Yeah. It's already a surreal situation. I can imagine. Chuck an ex-partner into there and it just becomes.

I do love the quote from her husband going, what the F is he doing? Are you effing kidding or something? It would be like one of those. Someone's texting saying, I worked at McDonald's with my girlfriend. Her ex-boyfriend came to work with us. So all three of them were in a working environment. Went to my brother's 40th. When I arrived, he told me he was going to invite with us. So all three of them were in a working environment.

Went to my brother's 40th. When I arrived, he told me he was going to invite my ex. We were together for about three years, and I hadn't seen him in seven. And then another ex turned up. So she was at a party with two exes and their new partners. Well, sometimes it can be awkward, and other times it can't be, depending on how the relationship ends up and where people are at. But the midwife thing, it's just awkward for the situation.

Another one here. I was dating two people at the same time without either of them knowing. Broke up. Six months later, they ended up dating each other. Bumped into them at the mall. Oh, jeez. So call us. I don't know where that is.

This morning, we've got Zoe on the phone. How are you? I'm great. How are you? Oh, lovely. We've spoken before, Zoe. Yes, and I've stalked you guys in the Tauranga Crossing. Yeah!

We did. We've been in the warehouse, that's right. You're a lovely lady, Zoe. It was great to meet you, but you've had an awkward ex-encounter. So, he was my first boyfriend when I was like 16, 17. Not a particularly nice fella. Basically only dated him because it annoyed my dad. I always find that's the best reason for dating. Exactly. One of those.

Like, he got expelled from school. He went to prison in our 20s. Oh, he's a bad boy. Okay. He's a bad boy. You like the bad boy. Did he have a leather jacket? Oh yeah, of course he did. And a leather hat.

Anyway, so he came out of prison and he had an affair with one of our friends' mums. She got divorced from her husband and they got together. So she's 33 years older than he is. And then I'm sat in a waiting room

in Auckland waiting to have a root canal done and I got a Facebook message off him. I haven't heard from him for like 10, 15 years and he's like, oh, hey Zoe, can I ask you something? And I was like, yeah. Like, how are you? He was like, yeah, yeah, good. Look, how are you? He was like, yeah, yeah, good.

And look, would you consider donating your eggs and being a surrogate for me and my new wife? What? Are you serious? And then you know, and you can see that they're writing more stuff because there's a little dot. Oh, that little dot, dot, dot. Yeah, yeah.

So I was looking, and then it was just like dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, dot. But we've both decided if you'd rather just sleep with me because IVF's expensive, that's okay as well. Oh, my goodness. So I wonder, well, yeah, casting the neat white. Wow. And I was like, you guys know I live in New Zealand now, right?

Like, logistically. On top of all of the reasons, logistically, I don't know how that works. But I was just like, oh, I'm about to have a root canal done. Sorry. I've got another type of root happening here. Wow, far out. Well, that's an awkward ex-encounter, that's for sure. It was.

So did you just say, oh, listen, I'm about to go into an appointment and they never followed up? I did send a message just saying, obviously, the answer's no. And he was like, okay, have you got any tips On how to Ask other women How did I do And I was like, yeah, don't ask like that

So he wanted a bit of feedback on his approach How did I do A customer service survey Were you satisfied with this correspondence Zero out of ten Zero out of ten satisfaction How did I do? A customer service survey. Were you satisfied with this correspondence? Zero out of ten. Zero out of ten satisfaction. Wow, that's one heck of an Ormond Exxon gada.

Oh, good day. I think to ask someone 15 years later. Yeah. Zoe, thank you so much for sharing that story with us. It was awesome. No worries, guys. Have a great day. Ben and Jono call this show Jono and Ben.

Breakfast on the Hits. The Hits. It is the Hits. You've show Jono and Ben. Breakfast on the Hits. The Hits. It is the Hits. You've got Jono and Ben. Jono's just playing. You've been lost in some internet videos. Kevin Hart, comedian, and Snoop Dogg, a rapper as well. They did a wee nightly Olympics show in America,

so they'd look at some of the best bits from the Olympics. And they even talked about New Zealand, which you've got coming up later on this hour. Very funny. Snoop Dogg and Kevin Hart need to commentate everything from the Olympics. And they even talked about New Zealand, which you've got coming up later on this hour. Very funny. Snoop Dogg and Kevin Hart need to commentate everything from now on in their life. So that's coming up very shortly. Stick around for that. Hey, something happened yesterday.

We're at a post show. We're having a meeting with Boss Todd, who's still in management. Where is Boss Todd? Where is he in life? We haven't seen him in about nine years. He's in San Diego, that old game. Where in the world is Boss Todd?

It was Boss Todd. He went to Australia. I don't know. We haven't seen him in months, but I think he's in MIQ at the moment. We had a post-show meeting with Boss Todd. The good thing is when your boss is locked away in a hotel room and he wants to phone up with feedback about the show, you can just hang up on him.

Oh, that's so good. Like, if anything negative, we just go, hang up. Sorry, man. Oh, bad connection. Sorry, man. We can get on with our day. Yeah, exactly. It's not a deal having your boss locked away. It is great. We should keep him there. More bosses should be locked away. Yeah.

Yeah. That's great. But Ben Humphrey, he did something that I respect. This is producer B. Humps? Yeah, producer B. Humps. When it comes to phone etiquette. So he phoned Boss Todd. Boss Todd said hello.

Ben Humphrey said, hey, Todd, you're on speaker. Straight off the bat too Front footed it Which made me Lead to me to believe What horrible things Does he say about us When we're not in the room

John and Ben I hear you're on speaker Like Rennie You came out very quick Out of the gates with that Before he was Yeah because maybe He would have been like

Oh did you listen to that show This morning Those two bull eggs Yeah He did He's right Straight away He let him know, but I appreciate you

having everyone's feelings in mind there speakerphone's an interesting and I think your approach Behumps, should be everyone's approach when it comes to speakerphone, you want to know if you're being broadcast if it's via a car

hands free, it's not a good feeling when halfway through they're like like oh you're on speakerphone in the car. You're like what have I just what have I said? Why have you told me this three quarters of the way into the conversation? You start replaying what you've been saying. From the get go is the way to do it right? Have you been called out on speaker before Ju?

I think nearly or like I'll be on the phone to my mum and like in the kitchen or something like that and she'll be talking to me about something that I don't necessarily want my flatmates to hear but my even if she's not on speakerphone i have to be very careful and very um you know mysterious with my response so that my flatmates don't figure out what i'm talking about you know what i mean well you don't want her to come in like are you still crushing on your flatmate you don't want that business do you yeah mum he's a babe it happened to me once a few years ago

when I was working at the rock and something had gone wrong with the technical equipment in the studio and I was getting very frustrated so I phoned the wonderful tech and I was toying with them mate do you name a four letter word I was saying and I was screaming it

down the phone name a four-letter word, I was saying it. And I was screaming it down the phone. I was like, this is, you know. Name a four-letter word. Rock. I said it. Wood. Cute. All the four-letter words.

And it was a tirade, you know. And then halfway through, he's like, oh, just so you know, I have my wife, mother-in-law, and three-year-old child in the car. He tells me this halfway through the conversation. There's no coming back from that. I went, I just hung up, I think. They just lost it. We went on for about two and a half minutes.

My mother-in-law, of all people. Oh, dear. Oh, God. What's John like to wear with that? He's normally quite a nice guy He's usually pretty chill But gee, he's on a tirade there The poor three year old sitting in the back seat

Straight into the car That's so good We've got five words, five thousand dollars Happening very shortly Your chance to win on a Friday It is that What I Lie To You is a TV show This is not What I Lie To You This is What I Lie To You. What I Lie To You is a TV show. This is not What I Lie To You, this is What I Lie To You.

But What I Lie To You is a great TV show. It is a good show. They do it in the UK, don't they? I've seen it on TV. It's very good. I tell you what, they love their panel shows in the UK, don't they? They do a wonderful job of executing those. They had a New Zealand version of What I Lie To You and now they've got a version similar to that on radio that we do called Lie A Lie. I like that 9 Out Of 10 Cats or 8 Out Of 10 Cats.

That's a good panel show. Yeah. That's a good panel show. Yeah, it's a good panel show. QI, old Stephen. Yeah, I like QI, but I feel like I watch it just to look like I'm smarter than they actually are. I don't get half of the jokes. I'm with you. I don't get three quarters of the jokes. It's a bit too intelligent for me.

Anyway, this is a very basic game. You don't need to watch QI to get this game. Basically, we get two callers on. One is telling the truth. One is telling a lie. And you and us together as the team of five million need to decide who's filthy and lying to our faces. We're going to kick it off with you, Holly, this morning. What's your story?

Hi, guys. So my story, my statement is my dad moved to America to marry his car. Okay. But why wasn't his car in New Zealand? Why was it a long distance relationship? Well, actually, they met here and he

bought it here. It was a Ford Mustang and he shipped it over in a container and yeah, he's lived there ever since. And they went back to her homeland. Went back to her homeland. In America. So what, he's like,

I'm going to run off to America with my car. He's eloping, yeah. He eloped over to America. Married his car and yeah, he's actually, we don't really talk much anymore. How devastating was this for the family? Yeah. For his non-car family?

His non-car family. He was so happy about it. It was nice to see him happy. Okay. Okay, so that's Holly's statement. Did your mum move on with a bus or someone? She moved on a long time ago. All right, well, that's Holly's statement.

And joining us on line two for Liar Liar, Freddie, welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast. What's your story? Kia ora. So my story is a few years ago I got on my bike and cycled it from Bali to London. From Bali. Now, were you in a relationship with this bike

or was it purely platonic? I was definitely in a relationship with this bike. Oh, you were in a relationship. You married your bike as well. Okay, well, these are tough. Okay, so where did you say you biked from? From Bali to London. Bali to London?

That seems like a... Go the distance from Bali to London. Distance from Bali. 12,455 kilometres, and that's straight across oceans and stuff as well. Exactly. 12,000. So you're telling us you biked 12,000 k's? Yes.

What did you do for the water? The water. That's a great question. We may have had a bit of assistance when it came to the water. Okay, all right. We've got Holly, whose father eloped with his motor vehicle to America.

We've got Freddie, who claims he's cycled 12,500 kilometres. At least. From Bali to London. Liar, liar who claims he's cycled 12,500 kilometres. At least. From Bali to London. Liar, liar. This is how it works. We chuck it out. 4487 on the text. Who's lying? Who's telling the truth? You can get in touch with us and we will reveal all next.

Sam Fisher, Demi Lovato, it is the hits. Jono and Ben on your Friday in the middle of this. It is Liar Liar. We get two people on, each say a statement about themselves, a ridiculous statement, but one of them is true and one is false. One person is lying, one's telling the truth. Yeah, a lot of text flowing in on this one on 4487. We've got Holly up first.

What was yours? You want me to say my story again? Can you remember it? Yes, I can. Okay. My father moved to America and married his car. Okay. So that's Holly.

That's what she's saying is true. And Freddie, your claim was? I sat on my bike and rode it from Bali to London. Over 12,000 kilometres, to say the least. Jono, I think overwhelming today. I'm going to go, it's impossible to bike from Bali to London. I'm looking at the map. There's water.

Oh, you got it. Yeah, I'm saying Freddie's lying. Holly, I believe your story that your dad is in a long-term relationship with his motor vehicle in America. Am I right? Yeah, you are wrong. You lie. Why would you lie to my face like that, Holly?

He is still in New Zealand happy with my mum. Is she a car? They don't have a Ford Mustang. They don't have a Ford Mustang. Well, thank you, Holly. Well played. And that means, Freddie, you're telling the truth. It sounds like Holly's story is far more interesting, to be honest.

I've just been sent from producer Ben a bit of a press release. You've turned this into a book. Yeah, exactly. So the book's called The Big Bike Trip, and we finished the trip and didn't really know what to do with ourselves, so we decided to write a book about it. And I was just reading here in the little burb about the book, you cycle 23,000 kilometres. Wow. 23,000 k's.

Turns out the way is not straight. You've got to get a lot of corners and a lot of hills and a lot of, yeah, it all adds up. What was the purpose of the trip? I guess it was just to see the world initially. We hadn't really travelled so much. My younger brother and I hadn't traveled overseas much um as kids and we just we wanted to see it all in one go and we also had um had some inspiration from our family and

wanted to to raise money for charity while we did it so kind of just all all tips really like you've one one thing led to another and it just the idea slowly got more and more outrageous i guess as it was we went on wow and did you use the same bike for the entire journey, or did you have to get a replacement? Same bike, believe it or not. Same bike. Still got it today, to be honest. We had to change up almost every single part.

The core is there. The heart of the bike is still there. What a journey you've been on. What was the wildest thing you saw? The wildest thing we saw was probably when I turned back at a temple and saw a friend and photographer, Sean, who was a kid who had a meat cleaver in his face. That was quite a heart and mouth kind of a moment.

Oh, someone was trying to attack him. Yeah, yeah, they were at one point. And we were just too bemused and too, I guess, kind of naive to realise what was going on. We kind of just let him wave it around for a while and then got out of there pretty smartly. So you would have only had a backpack I imagine with all of your belongings in it.

No, the bikes, they had they can take four bags each so you just load them up front and rear and 50 kilos a piece once they had everything on them. So how many hours a day on average were you sort of biking? You won't believe this but like we were 99 kilometres average per day on our ride

days yeah infuriating we should have just pushed it a little bit to get 100 k's a day and what was the body like when it start from start to finish i mean i i'm i love preparation and so i was already i feel like i'd done a lot of training to get ready for it. But we had a mate, Timmy, who joined in Istanbul, and he'd come from London on a diet of fried chicken and stale ales, quite overweight, and having not so much as walked up a staircase in terms of exercise. So he got a bit of a baptism by fire, and we gave him 60Ks on the first day.

And the second day, I said, we're going to punish you, give you 100 because you should have followed my training program. Wonderful mates. Timmy didn't know what he was getting in for did he? Timmy's like what? I thought this was a lads trip.

Lads, lads, lads what happened to, what was this boy? He missed a turn off at one point. He was so delirious. He was at the back of the line. He was so exhausted that he just cycled off down the hill without us. We had to go get him. I think Timmy's the real hero of this story.

Poor Timmy, mate. Sorry for Timmy. Oh, it sounds amazing. Sounds like an amazing read, an amazing story. The Big Bike Trip, Freddie Giles. I imagine it's out now? It is out now. It's out today, actually.

It was the first day of it being out. So it's an all-good bookstore you'll find and online. And Ford by Jeremy Wells. The Jeremy Wells from Radio Hauraki and Seven Sharp? That is the Jeremy himself. He's put his good name to this book. I know. Believe it or not, he has.

He's a very good friend of mine, and we're very lucky to have him as input there. Oh, I love it. He works literally just across the hallway. Give him a hug for me if you can. Well, give him a hug. We'll say Freddie Giles says hello, and thank you for the... I don't know if attaching Jeremy's name to the book is going to do good things or bad things for your sales.

Oh, these days, surely good things. Yeah, no, he's rebranded now, isn't he? Yeah. He's straightened up. He's straightened up. Hey, good on, surely good things. Yeah, no, he's rebranded now, isn't he? Yeah. He's straightened up. He's straightened up. Hey, good on you, Freddie. Thank you very much for the chat, and you keep safe over there in the UK.

Amazing. Hey, thanks so much, guys. Nice to talk. It was interesting. Fascinating was that. Oh, lovely. So good. We got $5,000 up for grabs very shortly.

It's been so long since we last gave it away. Hopefully, have it in a few weeks on the hits. New Zealand's breakfast. This is Jono and Ben on the hits. Got a good morning. Welcome along to the show. It is a Friday morning. Oh, let that sink in for a second.

It's a good feeling. Friday morning. How many seconds do we let it sink in for? Let's give it five. Okay. Yeah, that was good. That was nice and nice. How's everyone going this morning?

Ju, you all right? I'm great. I'm great. How are you? You doing well? Yeah. Benjamin? Yeah, I'm doing all right.

Yourself? Good. I went to Poppy's Netball last night. She's my daughter. And every week for all year I've been going along Thursday afternoon and I take a can of Schweppes soda, drink the proud sponsors of Jono Prize. Yeah, it's like you're a... of Schweppes soda drink the proud sponsors of Jono Prize yeah it's like you're a Schweppes ambassador ambassador for them but it's what the design of the can it's just black with like a yellow label and oh yeah I sit on the sidelines just drinking a can of Schweppes

and mother came up to me and she's like excuse me if, if you don't mind me asking, what is that you're drinking? And I said, oh, it's Schweppes. And she said, oh, for months, it's been the talk of the sideline amongst the parenting netball community that I've been there drinking cans of Woodstock on the sideline. I guess they do kind of look similar. They do look like, it does look like a can of Woodstock.

And when you can't see the label on it. Yeah. I mean, maybe you have been mixing it up with a cancer wood sock. But what if you're a man now and everyone's going around thinking that you've been sitting there blatantly. Just drinking Woodstock. Yeah, callously on the sideline of a children's netball game. She may not get the word around that you haven't been. She might not.

No. No, so everyone still goes. Yeah, I might spread the good word around. It's like one of those things when there's like A scandal over a celebrity and it was like Oh this person's done this and it turns out they haven't done it And then the Herald will just print like a little Three line article on page six Not the Herald mate, they're better than that

Stuff.co.nz will do some sort of Three line retractment going Oh actually Billy didn't rob the bank Yeah but no one sees that bit No one sees that bit All the bad things about Billy's armed robbery got out there. Anyway, just spread the good word, Ben. It's not me drinking Woodstock on the

sideline again. Alright, sounds good. It is the hits. You got Jono and Ben. It's Kelly Clarkson. It is the hits. You got Jono and Ben. 608. What did I read about Kelly? Is she on The Voice? She is. Yeah.

She was celebrating that her prenup didn't go through or something. No, her prenup was upheld, which means in her favour. So she doesn't have to split all her earnings and everything she had during the marriage. There was a lot that she was owing to her ex-husband. She was going to pay her ex like $9 million a month or something in living costs. That might be an exaggeration. It might be. Yeah. But it didn't go through. Yeah yeah it was in her favor in the end whatever that means so yeah she

weirdly celebrated mid-filming on the voice yeah the audience would be like what don't have to pay that son of a yeah yeah anyway how you been i'm all right i'm right did you want to do the dog thing yeah i thought that's what you wanted to do. Yeah, no, that's fine. I was in... Thank you for asking me how I was. On air. My prenup hasn't gone through, so I'm not quite as... How's your prenup going? Quite as happy as Kelly Clarkson. Is your ex paying you?

No. So I was driving, I mentioned Netball just before. I was driving to Netball, you see, and I noticed a person with a dog. And I noticed that dogs think their owners are bloody legends. Don't you? There's no dog in the world that doesn't think their owner is the best person in the world. And you don't have to do much to be a legend in your dog's eyes. You know, just throw a stick and your dog's like, like mate you are the greatest yeah but we must think

you're a champion yeah i mean he's probably to be honest he gets more excited i mean he does get excited when i come home but he gets more excited for the for the girls and you know like an amanda my wife he just yeah he fizzes he fizzes with me he's like yeah but he is excited he's excitable there's a great bit of stand-up comedy i don't know who does that but they talk about um how long it is in dog years. You know how everyone says a year is like seven years in dog years. So then they're like, well, when you go out and you go out for maybe all day, eight hours or four hours, how long extra that would be for dogs?

And so how excited they must be when you go home. I haven't seen you in months. I thought you were gone. You know, that's a great bit of comedy. Like for dogs, they probably laugh. The day is in permanent slow probably laugh that's the case yeah i'm sorry i don't know who says that but it's great it's great you know it's a great observation because i thought you were never coming back yeah yeah and they think you've

invented everything like they both think you've invented fetch the greatest game ever to like he'd be telling other dogs he'd be like the bed he throws the thing i bring it back to him yeah yeah very excitable, aren't they? And better than kids, really. Because eventually kids are going to grow up and hate you. Dogs at any stage in their career are ever going to hate you. They'll love you right to the end. They're never going to think you're lame.

But Bo's also like, he's great. He loves us. And he does. He really does. But then, like I said the other day, we had someone come around and pick up someone. It was a courier. And he jumped in the van. In the back of the back of the van so he's got not much loyalty to you the loyalty i was like yeah the courier had his the back door open the van so i just

jumped in he's all right where we going mate you know that that's that was his loyalty well maybe he thinks everyone's a legend there's a better guy with a yellow van where are we going you had a dog juke yeah i. He was so cute. He didn't really like me. He loved my mum though, but that was because mum was the top dog. Like mum fed him, walked him,

did everything for him. Yeah. And, but it's funny because Bo obviously loves just humans in general. Like any human, he's like, yeah, someone new.

I think everyone wants to see him. And sometimes people don't want to see him. Oh, good day. What's going on over here? He's like, Jono. G'day mate, how's it going? Are you guys alright?

They're like, yeah, we're just eating dinner. Oh, yeah, you alright? He thinks everyone wants to talk to him, but in reality no one does. We've got news and beeps next. Producer Juliet's beeped out some words, some crucial words from actual news headlines. The more unusual

news we reveal to you next it is the hits. Kia ora, I'm Rachel Jackson-Lees and this is the B**** News. With all of her annoying beeps, Juliet is officially the roadrunner to our Wile E. Coyote on this programme. How does the news and beeps work, Ju? I find some headlines

from around the world that I think you might find quite interesting. Beep out a couple of words. You guys have to guess what the headline is. Okay, to our newsreader, Rachel Jackson-Lees. Anti-vaxxers storm the BBC HQ. But get the... I'm going to say they got vaccinated. Yeah.

Turned out it was a vaccination place and they got vaccinated. I'm going to say exactly the same thing. Because I can't be bothered to think of a new thing to say. Anti-vaxxers storm the BBC HQ but get the wrong building. So this happened earlier in the week and they were eight years too late. The BBC building had shifted in 2013 and they ended up storming a bunch of residential flats and the studios for Good Morning Britain.

And so the videos of these anti-vaxxers storming this area went on Twitter and everything. And Piers Morgan, who used to be on Good Morning Britain, tweeted, And so they got it all wrong and police had to turn up and it was just a big kerfuffle. So they got a TV station, just a lesser one, obviously. Not as much coverage on ITV as

BBC. Yeah. But no word on how they even like why they didn't find the real address for BBC? Like how did they get that wrong? They gave up after that point. They were like, oh it's not it. Let's all go home I guess. I think so. Are they also anti-Google Maps?

Yeah, totally. The next story. Top OnlyFans star earns almost 270 times more than a *** study suggests. I'm going to say more than Jono Pryor's OnlyFans account. I mean, it's going all right. We're ploughing away, mate. You're on there. You're my only one.

You're happy with the content, aren't you? I am, but I don't think you're doing as well as the top star. I'm going to say top Only only fan star earns almost 270 times more than the rest of us schmucks who are grinding it out every day. Yeah. Top only fan star earns almost 270 times more than a doctor, study suggests. So the girl that's earning, the woman that's earning the most

from this research makes about $40 million a year. I know. $40 million? $40 million. So they figured it out by the number of people subscribing to her channel. They times that by the amount per month that all these people are paying and figured out how much she would be accumulating per year from all these people and their monthly fees. $40 million? I know. What is she doing on there? God knows. would be accumulating per year from all these people and their monthly fees 40 i know what is

she doing on there god knows because i'm working i'm doing all sorts of weird stuff i'm enjoying i'm like i should be getting that money i'm putting my body through i know crazy crazy there's someone here at work who got on it and she was earning like two and a half grand a week. That's so good. So good. What are we doing? Yeah. Well, I can't, you know, to be honest,

we joke about my OnlyFans account, but I've got no business on OnlyFans. I'd have a share. And the final news story. East Auckland woman misidentifies possum as... I was going to say possum as headlights. I always talk about the possum and the headlights, and maybe she got the two mixed up. I don't know. I was going to say possum as headlights. I always talk about the possum and the headlights.

Maybe she got the two mixed up. I don't know. I'm going to say East Auckland woman misidentifies possum as her pet cat. Ends up feeding and loving it for three years. East Auckland woman misidentifies possum as mysterious hybrid animal. So you may have seen this floating around on Facebook. I think I saw it yesterday on Facebook. And she posted in her local community group on Facebook a photo of this animal sitting on her fence at night time. Because obviously possums are nocturnal.

And she posted, I just saw a cat-like animal. It makes a piggy noise and it's got a monkey sort of body. Can anyone point out the name of this animal? And everyone was just coming back being like, oh, that's a possum. It's one of New Zealand's biggest pests. But then some people were taking the mickey being like oh yeah it's a fence pig like feed it do this do it do this do it and then uh so she's now learned what a possum looks like unusual animals aren't they really they're disgusting yeah i used to sleep outside

my room when i was growing up sometimes and it would make a hissing noise. Yeah. They're terrifying. We're just lurking around at night. What are they up to at night? Like a meth head. What are you doing overnight? I don't quite trust what's going on out there in the possum community. And that is news and beeps for you Friday morning. Hey, next we'll announce what today's amazing prize is for

Yeah, they do. I've never been, I've never used one. I know. The meat tastes nice from a Weber though, doesn't it? Yeah. people? Yeah. Don't they? Yeah, they do. I've never used one. I know. The meat tastes nice from a Weber, though, doesn't it? You've got to really know what you're doing. But I feel like some of them, no, they're awesome. There's some of the electric ones, but some of the people will do the ones where they have to set it up like a two...

Like four days before. Yeah. So I'm going to have a barbecue. This brisket's been slow cooking for four months. Yeah. What are you having the barbecue? Oh, four days, Todd, but we're getting on to it. But yeah, it does taste amazing.

This is a question. Deodorant. So if you spray under your armpits. But am I allowed to cologne? So I can put cologne on instead of deodorant? If you want. I would choose to keep the deodorant. I would go without.

But you're going to be so hot. Yeah, I'll just choose the places I go to, to the places that aren't hot. I don't know. Yeah, I'm probably with you on that one. I feel like deodorant is going to make me, yeah, yeah, yeah. What was the weird cologne angle there? I was just saying what my options are, but you're right. Cologne's only going to disguise so much, isn't it? Yeah. What was the weird cologne angle there? I was just saying what my options are, but you're right. Cologne's only going to disguise so much, isn't it?

Yeah. I'm going to be one time and be like, oh, that guy. Yeah. And it's going to be hot. Yeah. So I'd go with you on that one as well. Okay, there we go. Lovely.

Another one of those after 8 o'clock for you. I can't wait. Hey, next in the studio joining us, this is very exciting, is Symphony. They're back on tour again. Friends of mine went last year. And this is an incredible live performances. And I think they're going to perform for us in a few moments time in the studio as well. It's dance music, but with a live orchestra.

Yeah, but also like pop songs done with it. It's incredible. Explain more in a few moments. But I can't wait to see it live and hear it live in the studio. If you love orchestras and chewing your face off, it's going to be a great night next. We'll find out. Yeah, it's going to be a great night. Next, we'll have... We'll find out. Yeah, it's going to be awesome.

It is. A few moments away on the hits. Jono and Ben, the hits. Now, Symphony is back and it looks incredible. Everyone that went last year said how amazing it was, including friends of mine.

Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, you can check it out this year, basically combines live DJs with people singing live, live vocalists, and a 60-piece orchestra. Incredible light show, everything. Amazing set up and music from the likes of Daft Punk, Calvin Harris, The Killers.

Incredible stuff. And joining us in the studio, some of the people who helped put it together, DJ Dick Johnson, a vocalist, Ella Monnery, and saxophonist, saxophone, he plays the saxophone anyway, Lewis McCullum. How are you guys doing? Thanks so much for joining us. Hello, hello.

Hello. Now, you guys have just been playing in our foyer here at work, and, ooh, loud. Causing a scene. Yeah, we're great. Did you hear it? Yeah, we got soundproofed by our walls. It was loud. It was awesome.

They were like, could you play it quietly? Yeah. Have you ever heard a saxophone? Yeah. It was wonderful. There was a group email sent out like, oh, from the building manager going, don't worry,

there's only a couple more songs to go, guys. So there must have been complaints from the bigwigs upstairs. Because there's lawyers, officers and stuff upstairs and stuff as well. You got the New Zealand Herald up there. You got Hosking spouting off anti-Jusinda rants on ZB.

They love it. They love the classic chants. Hey, now explain for those that don't know what this whole event is about exactly what symphony is okay so symphony is a orchestral event where we take classic dance club tunes from the last 30 years and mix them with the auckland philharmonia orchestra so reimagine them still electronic tracks but with a 60 piece orchestra on top and obviously lots of talented musicians and singers involved as well it sounds it looks

amazing i had friends last year that went along and oh they still kept banging on about i missed out on a group the weekend away and they're like oh you should have been at sydney it was yeah it sounds incredible everyone that goes along ella seems like they have such a great time yeah i mean for me definitely joining the show like three years ago i didn't realize how big and how popular it was like it sells out arenas across the country and that's just crazy. And it's a guaranteed good night out. Dance away to some bangers, have a couple of drinks with your friends and that's pretty much it.

Now, Dick, you've been in the DJ scene for a number of years now. Been around. Yeah. Have you got a family and stuff now? Yeah, a couple of kids. How does it go heading off to a nightclub till four in the morning? I'm very picky about the gigs I do these days. Is that why you kind of

do a set like this, I guess, in some ways? Totally, yeah. This is great. So I'm doing the music director job for this. I mean, the production is my main thing at the moment. So yeah, doing all the production for that. So what sort of songs can we expect to hear? Types of songs. So people go, I know this one, I know this one. Okay, so some of the

classics they've done in the past, like Robert Miles' darude sandstorm which i know would be a favorite of yours you'd be disappointed to hear that's not in this year but we are doing a people's choice at some point so it may make its way back in yeah right so yeah heaps of classics from sort of 90s through to today yeah awesome now uh you also have uh lew Lewis McCullum too, a saxophonologist. Saxophonist. Now my son Lewis actually, he's just started learning the saxophone and I just wanted to know from

a professional such as yourself, how long is the journey between I don't know if you can hear this, between this Yeah, I can hear that. It's coming along. How long is the journey from that to where you are? I sometimes do use either of those methods, depending on the gig. So I tell you what, it's quite the experience, isn't it, with a saxophone is just starting out the learning process.

How were your parents with it when you were growing up? Yeah, amazingly supportive. I come from a musical family, so, yeah, they're always into it. So you're saying I need to be a better father. No, not really. More supportive. That was a musical family so yeah they're always into it and so you're saying i need to be a better father no really supportive that was a school thing they just kind of handed the instrument to yeah yeah i was like you monsters now you guys have all achieved amazing things uh so far but lois did i read you played with ray charles uh yes that's in my cv um yeah it was a it was a show at the Logan Camel Centre. Again, it was part of a large orchestra.

Wow. Does it put extra pressure on the performance? Oh, bloody Ray Charles. It's definitely very distracting. You're trying to play your part and take in everything that's going on. Now, Ella, last time we spoke to you, we met your first time and we had a wonderful conversation about how you had begun a journey on The Voice Australia and it got halted, ceased for COVID.

Yeah, you were part of what, Kelly Rowland from Destiny's Child's team, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So went over to Australia, went on The Voice, turned the chairs, did the thing, and then came home, COVID, see you later. Couldn't go back. So that was mid-series, right? You couldn't go back. Yeah, we were literally filming the next round, then got like a little two-week break.

So they're like, oh, we'll just send you home. And then that's when lockdown happened, closed borders, everything. So yeah, it felt like a little bit like something had been taken away from me. And I was like, oh my God, I'm gutted. Like this was my shot, you know, this was my chance. But potentially might be on the series this year. Oh, really? The new one?

Homegirl Hero Returns. She's back and she's better. And she's actually got unfinished business. potentially might be on the series this year oh really the new one homegirl hero returns she's back and she's better and she's actually got unfinished business she's actually got something to settle that's them though australia their tv ads i don't know if you're saying they're so dramatic and i can already see it like she's back to finish what she started this is the one that rita aura is, one of the judges of the series, right? Yeah. We love it in New Zealand because Rita and Taika, every day we read new news about their relationship.

I actually knew about it before it was even in the media. I should have leaked it to the Daily Mail, mate. You should have. Was Taika on set, was he? Yes. Was he? Oh, my gosh. And do you know what she's done to me after I've sung?

She's gone, Kia Ora. It means congratulations. Yeah, right. And I've gone, okay. Now it all makes sense because she's been doing it. it means congratulations and i've gone okay now it all makes sense because she's oh you should have leaked it hey uh well it's a pleasure to have uh all three of you and and you're going to do a performance for us now now dick uh you're usually doing the djing here correct yeah and you've said did you get the music and i I said yes.

saxophone? So cool. Scrolling through your feed. Thanks guys. Scrolling through your feed. Ben Boyce has been

marinating another news casserole. He's about to pour it out of the crockpot and straight into my bowl. What's been happening baby?

Well the Prime Minister yesterday announced New Zealand's basically the third step. They called it the third step to reconnecting with the world.

The potential to open, to have some border trials open later this year or early next year, making travel between some countries, some low-risk countries, a bit easier. They haven't really set too many targets or deadlines, but they're saying, hey, we're looking at it. All going well. It's all good. Hopefully. But can you?

Can you even set targets and deadlines? Can't they even say what they're saying? No one knows what's coming next week. It's probably all around how many people get vaccinated as well in New Zealand. I imagine it's a big thing. And speaking of that, they announced yesterday they're moving forward some dates. So all New Zealanders aged 16 and over can basically book their first vaccine from September the 1st. And depending on the age groups that you fit in, you can go online and check them out. 16 and over can basically book their first vaccine from September the 1st.

And depending on the age groups that you fit in, you can go online and check them out. But it seems even from next week, it's getting a little earlier in age where you can do it. Yeah, we spoke to vaccinologist Helen Petousis Harris yesterday, didn't we, on the show? We did. She's very interesting. Yeah, really good. And we actually got the scoop on Newstalk ZP because she was on with him later in the afternoon. Who was chatting to her in the afternoon? Si and James.

Oh, Barnett and Daniels. Yeah, trying to get in on the old Petusas Harris train. Yeah, I probably heard it in the morning on the hits breakfast. I mean, oh, she's good. We'll get her on. Yeah, no, she's very interesting. And basically just said to anti-vaxxers, back off. The only way this is going to be effective is if everyone, not only in New Zealand, but across the world, gets the vaccine.

Then that will eradicate the virus. A lot of people wanted to know yesterday about, you know, your kids and when they can get vaccinated. This was her response. When will it be safe for kids to get vaccinated? That's a very good question because it's 16 and over right now, Helen, isn't it? Yeah, well, actually, they've given the ticks in New Zealand down to 12 now because those studies have been completed.

We're not actually recommending it yet because we've really got quite a lot of slightly older people to truck through first. Yeah, so they said this morning online that there was going to be an announcement made on when kids from 12 and up can get it because they have approved it. Medically, they've approved it. They just haven't said when it's going to be an announcement made on when kids from 12 and up can get it. Because they have approved it. Medically, they've approved it. They just haven't said when it's going to be able to happen. But those new dates are all online.

You can check those out. And they're basically encouraging everyone to get their first shot and saying, wait longer for your second shot now. Yeah, apparently it's more effective if you have... Wait like six weeks. Yeah. And that's where people are going, oh, why is it they've changed their things? And they'll say, well, she actually said on Newstalk ZB yesterday yesterday which i found interesting well no they haven't they've just said from three weeks it's effective that's basically so that's the minimum time three weeks wait three weeks but it's better if you do wait longer because it gets it more time yeah well i mean you need to let all

the 5g get all through your body don't you the longer that you sit on that all the uh you know all the magnoids and stuff can go floating around in there and that sort of thing. One of those. All right, here we go. And that is scrolling through your feed this morning. We've got some spy entertainment news not too far away. Ed Sheeran proves that he's a legend again. Oh, what's he done? He's given some details for the first time on his very low-key wedding,

and there's one part that happened that I'm just like, Ed Sheeran, please divorce her and please marry me because I love you. You are wanting to ruin a lot of marriages. You really are. To marry all of your heroes. You know, I had a dream that Ed Sheeran was in love with me like a week ago and I'm still not over it. That is a hit.

So you've got Jono and Ben. Jono and Ben, friends of Skinny. Pay up front or over time. It's Peaches. You're on the hits. This is my favourite part of the show, where Juliet does more talking than Jono and Ben, because my lips are tired from a week's worth of moving them. That's fair enough. Yeah, I'm resting my lips now. So Ed Sheeran, he's quite a low-key guy.

You know what? I feel like Ed Sheeran should have been a New Zealander because he's just so humble and so low-key and he just feels like he should be a New Zealander. Anyway. He loves cutting down successful people. Loves getting overly defensive when anything bad is said about our country. Watch out, Greta, we're coming for you.

But he has lived up to his low key sort of persona by he spilled on the details on his wedding to his wife Cherry Seaborn for the first time and how it all happened was they were engaged right but then they decided to very spontaneously on the day they were like let's get married

tonight. They lit a few candles in front of a small bunch of people said their vows, and then afterwards, my favourite part, went and got a curry. Wedding finished, they went and got a curry and celebrated by eating some Indian food. That's cool. I mean, it's very lovely and humble of Cherry and Ed, but think

about the guests who probably turned up in jandals, shorts, they're like, oh, not an on-the-spot wedding. They weren't prepared for it. No, that's true. But then to make up for it, I think they did have a wedding sort of, a marriage sort of party a wee while later with all the guests. I can imagine they did that. And phones were banned and everything like that.

So that's when all the big bangers, all the celebrities went to that. Oh, they've known each other since they were 11. I know. Isn't that so cute? Like, he's obviously spending a lot of money on, you know, like we hear all the news about his, basically he's got a whole village that he's pretty much built around his farm and stuff.

So we hear all about that. But he is quite frugal at the same time. I guess he's just thoughtful about what he spends his money on. Yeah, for sure. We talked about the fact that he had hardly ever fly private jets for a while. Wow. Because he was like, well, let me put it this way.

If I gave you $100,000 but you had to fly with other people on a plane, you'd probably take it. Oh, it's great. And I gave you $100,000 but you had to fly with other people on a plane, you'd probably take it. Oh, it's great. And it's the cost of flying private. I might as well just save $100,000 and fly with other people because I like other people rather than getting my own. That's so true. She's a very successful lady.

She went to Duke University in the States and played hockey for Duke University. Oh, wow. Then was working on Wall Street. Wow. As a highfalutin. She doesn't need Sheridan. No. She's ready.

Cut him. Cut him. Cut him and he can come to me. Yeah, loser. You're a loser musician boyfriend, not going anywhere. He'll never amount to anything. Was he writing songs and stuff? You've got a career.

Wall Street. That's where it's at. Go to Leonardo DiCaprio. And then another news. Britney Spears has had a very groundbreaking day for herself. She received, which is crazy, her very first iPad. So she's never had an iPad before in her life. Her two sons have both got iPads.

But she said she's always had a little phone, but now this iPad is in my hands. And I feel like my life is changing as we speak. And she's so excited by it. Jesus, a lot of tech for her to catch up on with the iPad. She'll be asking the kids and they'll be like mum you know. You can swipe it you know. She'd be like a boomer without being a boomer. She'd definitely be taking photos with the iPad too you know those things. What I found interesting was old Jobsy never let Steve Jobs I'm calling him like he's a mate, Jobsy. Steve Jobs never let his children have any devices.

Oh, yeah, he was the head of Apple, one of the founders of Apple, right. Yeah, you'd think he'd be right. Yeah. So it's not good enough for you, but what the rest of us schmucks have to. I think that's the same with Facebook and all these old social media CEOs and stuff. They were like, I don't want my kids going on that. But they were in charge of the platform. Isn't there a doco on all the stuff from those places going,

it's just not the best thing, I wouldn't sign up to it, social media. Isn't there a doco on making that up? No, there's Social Dilemma is the documentary. Oh, yes, that one, yeah, gotcha. It was all the rage a few months ago. Well, we try to stop our kids from watching and listening to our stuff, but that's more for embarrassment reasons. I don't know how we can delete that from the internet.

Still figuring that out. And that is Spy from where you can head to the hits.co.nz. After 7 o'clock on the show, we're going to play one of our favourite games, Liar Liar. We get two unbelievable stories. One of them is true and one of them is not, and we all have to work out together who's telling the truth. Plus, there's some big news from Christchurch happened yesterday. We fill you in just a few moments on the hits it's Jono and Ben

morning uh welcome along to the show it's just gone seven o'clock Jono and Ben with you on a Friday morning and now uh big news out of Christchurch yesterday that Christchurch is building a new stadium right by the CBD there and it. And they were talking about whether they were going to make it a 30,000 seat stadium or a 25,000 seat stadium. Well, now that they have decided to go to 30,000 seats, which is awesome, it's going to cost another $50 million on top. For 5,000 seats? 50,000 more seats, yeah. Really? Yeah.

50,000. Sorry, what did I say? 5,000 more seats. Yes. That's a lot. Yeah. Yeah. Again, you're trying to get this.

No, I was. Yes, they're trying to get this. I know. I was. Yes, they're trying to be the show known for its mess. We're going to be known for its bad mess, aren't we? Yeah. We're never going to be known for mess. We've just got to suck that up and just go, okay, we're going to be in the ballpark. But that's going to be great for Christchurch.

I'm looking at a photo of it. Is it going to be fully undercover? I think so. Yeah. Multi-use stadium. Yeah, which is awesome. They had a, because originally they announced it was going to be 25,000 seats And then they had a petition

They got signatures 24,000 people signed the petition So I was like well Is that saying 30,000 people want to go to this stadium Or is it better to keep it at 25,000 The ones that signed the petition You're like well you've just proved your point In fact there's a thousand less

We can knock off another thousand seats. No, that's great for Christchurch. To have a stadium like that in the middle of the city. Yeah. Walking distance. Just walking distance to the city. Oh, so good. So good.

You'll be rubbing it in Auckland's face, won't you? Look at our stadium. We can walk to the city, which is pretty awesome. I know, good stuff. And they've built some beautiful buildings in Christchurch. We've been down there a lot recently, haven't we? And, jeez, I like the art on the side of the buildings as well. Yeah, it's incredible.

Yeah, some local knowledge there. Well done, Jono and Ben. How proud of New Zealand. Go New Zealand. If only New Zealand was proud of them. Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast on the hill. Friday morning, it is New Zealand. It's New Zealand's breakfast.

It's New Zealand, just in case you were wondering what country you're living in. Well, yeah, I was going to give you a... Sometimes I wake up and I'm like, am I in Venezuela? Well, if you wouldn't want to be in Italy right now for the reason that they're having a heat wave, get this, it was the highest ever temperature recorded, they reckon, in Europe ever yesterday. 48.8 degrees in uh sicily how's that 48.8 degrees 48 damn that's hotter than your spa pool then when you invite me over on a saturday night that gets hot i come out looking like a lobster from that actually was really struggling with covid i'm just trying to see what they've had

forest fires over there as well it seems to be the thing with it you know grease too yeah they're because of that the hot temperatures are pretty horrible over there as well so there you go so well it is new zealand uh as i just said before here but yeah it's over there it's a thought for those people going through that it's horrible yeah have you googled that now i'm padding for time yeah you're doing well oh gee my god they've had 4.41 million cases of covid italy i didn't realize that there were that many people in italy 128 000 deaths gee they were hit very hard early on in the moment with the heat wave as well so there's uh yeah lot going on. 205 million cases worldwide, COVID, and 4.3 million deaths.

Breakfast. Thank you. Good to have you on. Charlene, currently dropping the kids off to school. I am. And a dairy farmer. Yes. Jeez, we've got a lot of dairy farmers listening to this show. Where are the stats on the dairy farmer audience? We'd be killing it in that demograph, Ben. You reckon, eh?

Hey, Charlene, we want to try and win you and the kids $5,000 this morning. The Soundproof booth had a bit of a facelift yesterday. If anything in the studio needs a facelift, it's probably me, but they've opted for the Soundproof booth.

It's got a new sign on it. It has, actually, hasn't it? Oh, my gosh. So hopefully that brings us some luck this morning. Fingers crossed. Yeah. The new look SPB. Who are you going to send in to match five words with, Charlene?

Producer Juliet, you got anything that's popping to your head? Yeah, but I don't want to give you. No, you don't want to give anyone. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But yeah. Pinky Chief. Sneeze? Okay, that's good.

Nice. Yeah, it's good. That was one of the ones I was kind of thinking of in my head as well. Let's bring Jono out of the soundproof booth and see if we can match all five words there, Charlene. Okay. Charlene did really well. A couple of tricky words though, Jono, you know,

but that's always the case. We seem to, you know, throw things out there. They have multiple options. Okay. Did the kids participate, Charl things out there. They have multiple options. Okay, did the kids participate, Charlene? No. They were all behaved. Fair enough. She's just sitting in the car just waiting for the five grand. I haven't even heard your child. I don't even

believe you've got one in the car with you. Oh, she's in there. Alright, let's do it. Five words. Let's match with Charlene. Alright, first word this morning, Jono. Britney Spears. Second word this morning, Jono. Britney. Spears. Second word I'm going to throw at you this morning is male. But wait for it. Wait for it.

Box? Oh, yes. We're two from five. Charlene. I don't know which one to go next, to be honest. I don't know which. So I'm just going to go with the second word we said to Charlene, which was cocoa. Cocoa.

Cocoa pops. Oh, no. Charlene, what did you do? I said cocoa powder. Cocoa powder. Cocoa powder. Yeah, for baking. You use it to make chocolate cakes.

Listen, I'm sorry, Charlene. You won't be making any chocolate cakes soon. No, probably says a lot about your culinary skills, that one. John, I was like, cocoa powder? Have you even baked before now? Cocoa what? Okay, that's all right. Charlene, I'm so sorry.

I have the palate of a seven-year-old. Oh, I see. You didn't say that, did you? The last two words this morning, just really quickly, was beef. Lamb. Oh, was beef. Lamb. We went with meat. And handkerchief. Nose.

Oh, damn. Well, Michelle, you did really well. Those were some tricky words this morning. You have a great weekend, all right? All right, will do. Thank you. You don't see handkerchiefs around nowadays. Not as much.

John Pryor, my father, he was a big backer of the handkerchief back in the day. But it's essentially just a giant snot rag that you carry. You take with you everywhere. Yeah, like just a disease blanket in your pocket, isn't it? Yeah, you're right. Hey, we've got some Spy Insanity news on the way. Yeah, Snoop Dogg and Kevin Hart have praised our very own Haka. And I'll play you the audio next.

There's the hits. You've got Jono and Ben. Spy. No WhatsApp. Spy.co.nz. Time now for episode 23 of season 8 of Spy Spoiler alert, Jono and Ben will pretend to have some interest in the stories that producer Juliet's about to regale Well I think you actually will have some interest in this story because you guys were frothing over it earlier So in the Olympics, our women's sevens team, rugby team, did very well and won gold And one video has now gone viral on TikTok thanks to rugby sevens star rugby team did very well and won gold and one video has now gone viral on tiktok thanks to rugby seven star ruby tooey so kevin hart and snoop dog during the olympics did a show where

they commentated events did sort of olympic highlights and it's very entertaining that you know they're very they're very funny um one of them was they were commentating the dancing horses the dressage or whatever it's called Oh damn, that horse is crip walking Yeah, it's very good And so one of the events they covered was a Rugby Sevens match with New Zealand's team And they played the haka that our team performed pre one of the matches And so Ruby Tui has kind of uploaded a video onto TikTok Watching Kevin Hart and Snoop Dogg react to the Haka

and they're frothing over it. Rugby finals. What? You didn't expect that. I will never get over this. New ceiling. Snoop Dogg. Imagine our friends.

Watch this. Claiming gold. Yes. Okay. This virtual right here is hundreds and hundreds of years old so it's not nothing that they just made up. No, no. This is powerful.

It's also an extreme amount of pressure on the producers of the Olympics because they can't cut out of this. Oh, no. You can't cut out of this and watch what happens. Yeah, yeah, no. They've got to let this fly. All of it. They've got to let this fly because that's powerful. It's really cool.

And then Snoop Dogg goes on to say that when he flew to New Zealand to do a show here with his wife, he was greeted with a haka. And at the time, he didn't really know what was going on, but then he learned what it meant afterwards and was like, it was one of the most beautiful things. I know he'd never experienced really anything like it. And so us New Zealanders, proud that they love it. Ruby Tuohy, obviously buzzing out to see you talk about her and the scene. So good. That's awesome.

I've been lost in an internet hole. They're good together. Yeah, they are. Yeah, and they basically just play down clips to Kevin Hart and Snoop Dogg and just get their initial reaction. Yeah. And their big bugbear was with horses

that horses weren't receiving medals themselves. Yeah, we kind of talked about that. I feel like they do a lot of the heavy lifting. They literally do all the heavy lifting, don't they? And there's just the rider who just sits on top. Gets all the praise and the credit. It's the horse that should get it.

They were campaigning for horses to receive medals in the next Olympics. They'd have to be bigger than the average. It's the horse that should get it. So they were campaigning for horses to receive medals in the next Olympics. Yeah. They'd have to be bigger than the average medal, though, the horse medals. Yeah. Especially the strap around the... Yeah, you're right. For sure.

And that is Spy for more. You can head to thehits.co.nz. Hard-hitting interviews and informed opinion. Mike Hosking on Newstalk's Ed Bean. In the meantime, here's Jolo and Ben, the hits. It's such a good feeling to be here on a Friday. We're just talking about awkward ex-encounters. One more Texas has come through.

So many beauties coming through. Here's my sister and her fiancé. Just bought a house in New Plymouth, and it turns out it's directly across the road from her ex-partner. You can't not buy the house. You can't unbuy a house. You move myself in and you'll be like, oh. Oh, dear gosh.

Yeah. Another one here. I'm a radiographer. I was doing a night shift at a hospital when my ex came in unconscious. He'd been in a really bad accident and I had to do x-rays on his pelvis. Oh. What part of your job and what you have to do? To this day, he doesn't know because he was unconscious the whole time.

But she's like, x-raying his pelvis. Pelvis x-rays. Well, that's all the fun. OMG, I want one. Of course of course this pack and it's got an amazing twist at the moment. If you missed it this morning, here are today's wonderful two options. Thank you Jono and Orban. Today, it's your choice.

Become master of the grill at home on holiday and sure, why not at work with Prize A, the highly portable LPG Weber Baby Q1000. Or become master of the drill and get kitted out with prize b a power tool set text omg to 4487 now to get in the draw there you go two in the studio i always talk over the back to you in the studio sorry mate uh two wonderful prizes but two prizes i probably have no place in. I'm not a drill guy.

I get nervous around a barbecue situation. I can't manage many meats on one plate. It's too much high pressure on a barbecue, isn't it? Well, the two great options, though, if you do want to get involved, text OMG to 4487, and then you can choose the prize you want, and someone today will be getting one of those. Yeah, what would you go, Ben? I would probably go Weber, you know, because I have mates that just love it and i'd love to go yes yeah

yeah part of this i don't know how to use it you guys come over and you do all the cooking and then we'll go oh so good so good i went to your house once you got barbecue shamed i did because we're in between we're in between barbecues and then i was yeah so how can you be in but aren't you always in between barbecues yeah no but, no, I ended up getting a cheaper one because it was. Got the jumbuck, didn't you? Yeah, yeah.

And I was like, I'll get that one because we're going to get a nicer one when we sort stuff out and then I got shamed. Shamed too. It was, oh, here's your jumbuck, mate.

Did you ever get a, did you? I did, we did eventually. Yeah, we did. What happened to the jumbuck? I actually got picked up pretty quickly. I put it on the front of the house. It's an amazing house.

So even an awkward thing like a barbecue, just gone. Yeah, where do people put it? So I was quickly. I put it on the front of the house. It's an amazing house. So even an awkward thing like a barbecue just gone. Where do people put it? How did someone take the jumper? It happened to a friend who was mowing his lawns, and he left the lawnmower running on the boom because he just had to go inside and get more oil or petrol or something. And as he came back out, the lawnmower was going.

So I was like wheeling it into their boot. It's like the Wild West out there, eh? It is. You put it outside your property, it's fair game. It's on the footpath, it's all yours. Hey, got Ursula Carlson with us very shortly, very funny Urs. Have you been paying attention? She's back on telly tonight, and she's joining us for a new part

of the show, International News with Ursula Carlson. Can't wait for that. It is The Hits. You got John on, Ben. It is The hits, gentlemen. Ben, L.A.B. Have you been paying attention tonight, TVNZ2, 8.30 p.m.? No, I haven't been paying attention.

Who's on the show tonight, Ben? We've got, well, usual, hosted by Hayley Sproul, Vaughan Smith, Ursula Carlson as well, Ray O'Leary, Josh Thompson, and Laura Daniel as well, as well as a couple of surprise guests. Stellar lineup. That's a lineup that would definitely maybe get a medal at the Olympics. Probably a bronze medal. And we'll bring in one of the stars of the show, the wonderful Ursula Carlson.

Welcome. Hello, how's it going? Good to have you on, Urs. Now we have a new segment, new part to our programme. Thanks to Ursula Carlson. From across the world. From across the globe. This Thanks to Ursula Carlson. From across the world. From across the globe. This is an international news update with Ursula Carlson. That's right, international news with Ursula Carlson.

I'm so stoked. When you boys asked me to be your international correspondent, I'm like, yeah, I've been training for this. I've been born elsewhere for this. So I'm very happy to be here. Okay. Whereabouts in the world are you at the moment? I'm currently at the hairdresser on the North Shore.

So that's overseas. Overseas from, yeah, I guess from where we are, there's a bridge. Well, technically, it literally is because you have to go over a bridge and the sea is under it. So I'm overseas. Okay. Yeah, we can't argue that one. No, we can't. But you have been overseas recently, obviously, getting us some news because you've been in MIQ, I understand.

I have. And one of the stories I want to bring you today is the food in MIQ. A lot of people complain about it. There's a lot of people who take photos of it. I, of course, have not taken any photos of it because I'm Gen X so my phone won't allow that. Can you order Uber Eats, Suze? You can. I mean, sure, you're already spending

all of your hard-earned cash on staying in quarantine, but you can get food and you can buy groceries and if you're not a horrible person and your friends and family still speak to you, they can drop their stuff for you too. But I find if you get too demanding, and this is just a warning to people coming into MIQ, if you're a bit too demanding or criticise people's food, it's really going to taper

off in the second week, the parcels that you're going to get. Yeah, and that's the other thing too. It feels like what you're describing here is a prison where you don't get shanked. Your family can come and visit every now and then. Well, I remember actually it was a year or so ago you were filming The Masked Singer Australia from MIQ and you got a noise complaint for saying the classic line on the show, take it off, take it off. You were yelling that at the top of your voice.

Yeah, they thought I had a stripper in there somewhere. Who's in here with you? I go, please. I'm in my mid-40s. I'd rather have a cup of tea. And it was take it off. It was take the teabag out of the cup. I don't want to talk about teabagging on this show.

I do want to say to people, just sort of a side note, people are putting a lot of pressure on themselves. Look, we've all gained a lot of weight since COVID hit, okay? COVID either made you really sick or really fat. Those are the two things, the two options we could go. And so we all went with the fat weight. You know, there's a lot of pressure, but I want people to just relax, think about it.

At the moment, I don't care what you're doing with your life, but you're still getting more exercise than Olympians returning to New Zealand because they are currently in MIU. Oh, yes. Not moving. So don't get too tough on yourself. Just think about it. You're moving more than Lisa Carrington.

That's right. Even if you walk from one side of the room to the other right now, you're getting more exercise. That is a great way to look at it. I love it. We were very excited about you bringing us international news. You're an international correspondent. What are the big stories worldwide that you want to touch on this week?

Oh, no, no. I don't know if my hairdresser is going to light with my hair. We're going to have to see tonight. That's sort of the only international news I have for you. It kind of feels like you're sort of working around your schedule here. Kind of hoping you bring us some more stuff from overseas, not just what you kind of do. There's no real internationals to this international correspondent.

Are you? That is racist. I am international. So whatever I bring you is international news. Yeah, I suppose you've got, okay, yeah. Yeah, she's pulled out the racist card too. You can't come back from that. You can't. If anyone knows racism, it's the South

Africans. Well done on shutting down this interview. Smart player, Carlson. Have you been paying attention? We clearly haven't been for getting Ursula Carlson on the show but we can't wait to catch you tonight on TVNZ2. Always looks like such a fun show. It is. It is a lot of fun.

We have a lot of fun. There's a lot of sexual tension in that show, let me tell you. Oh, really? Will they, won't they? Will they, won't they? You'll find out tonight. They won't. And as I heard, it's John and Ben, Friday morning.

Great fun hanging out with you guys on a Friday. Now, of course, a couple of weeks ago, you put together, with the help of Disney Plus, a pretty cool experience for me to meet my hero, Dwayne The Rock Johnson, and to show him my tattoo you got me to get of the heart. The heart that says, I heart why I love Dwayne The Rock Johnson.

It's on my left butt cheek. Yeah, amongst a bevy of other tattoos as well, your bottom's become a work of art. You're like Picasso. Yeah. Put the art into Picasso. Yeah. Aren't you?

And this was the moment. It was in a video that went pretty well. It was all over the Herald. It was all over online. And this was the moment where I showed him, where you got me to show Dwayne the Rock Johnson my tattoo on my bum. Show them the cheek. I'll show you the cheek. me to show Dwayne The Rock Johnson my tattoo on my bum. Show them the cheek! Let me see it. Put your pants down.

Oh my God! Yeah, it was pretty incredible. It was pretty surreal. I liked Emily Blunt's reaction as well. Yeah, she was pretty excited by it, you know, as was I. So now the dust has settled? Yeah, the video's gone out there and a lot of people have seen it, a lot of people have talked about it excited by it you know as was i but now so now the dust is settled yeah yeah the videos you know

it's gone out there and a lot of people have seen it a lot of people have talked about it but now it's it's not just people talking to me you know and sometimes you hear people come up to you and go i was that rock tattoo you know and stuff like that but it's now spaced across to my family my mom is having conversations about my bottom with other people it's the hot topic of conversation my wife my sister they've all gone, oh, now they get talk. Oh, I saw your brother. I saw your husband.

You know, like it's become a conversation they're having without me there. It's like my, you know. What happens when you are there? Are you required to get it out? Well, no, I feel like it's not appropriate. Do you front foot that? Do you like, do you guys want to see it?

You know, get a consent form or something? No, I feel like I don't. No, I feel like I don't. It's out there yeah it's out there on the video so i feel like not well you've seen it you can see it in video form yeah but sometimes people like to see things irl don't they do they do get it out now i'm okay max is filming just for radio purposes no it's fine get it out now

no it's fine it's fine workplace bullying no it's been getting a lot of lip service there bottom everyone's saying
