Hey guys, it's Tuesday the 29th of June, Jono and Ben here, back for the podcast.
I've got a secret sound I'd like to play with you, Ben.
Okay.
I was just going to say, do you think you saying the date and stuff is like when you get a message from your parents on the phone?
And they're like, it's Sunday at 3.45.
You know, you're like, well, clearly the message just told me that.
I feel like maybe we've slipped into boomer territory during the date.
Yeah.
I just wonder that
I know people need
But the date's not so much for the listener
But the date will be on the thing though, isn't it?
For recollection
But the date's always there
Oh, it'll be written on the podcast
Yeah, the podcast
It'll come straight up
It's good though for when Aaron makes the start of the podcast
He knows
Aaron, our production engineer, knows the date
And that's
But I just wonder if we're slipping into boomer territory
Well, I'll stop doing it
No, no, it's a question
You can let us know on the podcast
Aaron let us know actually
It's the day to niggle
It might be helpful
It's helpful for Aaron
It's like when we tell the time on the radio
You're right it is totally redundant
I do it heaps and tell what the day is
And people are like yeah we know what day it is
So have a listen to this
I recorded this audio yesterday
Someone chewing? Yeah Yeah, we know what that is. So have a listen to this. I recorded this audio yesterday.
Someone chewing?
Yeah.
It's Poppy, my daughter, and her friend Zoe.
And I'm taking them to dancing.
They do two hours of dancing on Monday night.
And I feed them on the way because this is straight from school,
straight to the dance studio situation.
When I say I feed them on the way, I get the bags of chips.
Yeah, I was going to say, they sound like chips that we're eating.
And that's the soundtrack, Silence, which is munching.
So you don't even have the radio on, really.
You sit there in silence, listening to the sound of...
Yeah.
Yeah, okay.
That's the soundtrack I like.
I like stating the date.
I like telling the time when people don't ask for it.
And sitting in silence.
How do you know what day it is if you're not listening to the radio?
You don't know the time.
You can be late.
I love it when you're in holiday mode and you don't actually know what day it is.
That's when you're deep in the eye of a holiday, isn't it?
That's good.
There's that sweet period sometimes if you're lucky enough to get that time over New Year's period sometimes.
And you go, I don't know.
Is it Tuesday?
Is it a Wednesday?
I'm not sure.
It doesn't matter.
I can have a drink.
It's fine.
Have you ever worked through that New Year period?
Bits and pieces through there.
Not every day, but yeah.
I've done a few years working through.
It's actually not bad.
If you're doing it, it's not bad.
Because you don't know what a holiday would be like.
But once you've experienced the holiday, going back to working through that period.
Yeah.
Well, people got to do it too, and good on them for doing it.
You have to, sometimes you don't get a choice,
which is pretty good that people do it,
because everyone wants to be at R&B.
Hey, we all want to be bloody slamming down the dongers, don't we?
Whatever those are.
We all want to be doing that at the festivals.
Sometimes you've got to get out there and work.
Good thing is the roads are dead quiet when you go into work.
Well, they would be, yeah.
Good thing is, you know,
the majority of people aren't around
if you're not a people person.
Yeah, yeah.
I would still do the podcast, though.
Yeah, you would.
Yeah, if I worked through.
It's January 1st.
This is the podcast.
I had a fun,
well, not it wasn't a fun show,
I got intervened on today.
I had an intervention.
Oh, you did, actually.
The centre of an intervention.
Yeah, we did talk about that.
I think the results kind of swayed in your favour.
Yeah.
It fell on the responsibility of the receiver, not the sender.
It did.
It did.
Which I found interesting.
So there you go.
You won that one.
You'll check that out on the podcast today.
As well as we found out what it was like to have Ed
Sheeran yesterday on the podcast
call up and audition for a karaoke competition
in New Zealand. We give the lady
a call back today who
took part unaware that she was
taking part in a call with Ed Sheeran. What was it like?
What's been said to her since? A post-match
if you will. Yeah, a little post-match.
Check it out on the podcast.
What's the day?
Thursday.
Of what day?
No, it's Tuesday.
Now it's time for a bit of a show intervention right now.
Now, is this about me embezzling all of the company's funds?
Oh, no, that's for another day, actually.
We're aware of that.
The company's aware of that. The company's aware of it?
Yeah.
Okay, no one's brought it up with me yet?
No, no, no.
We're going to wait for that to... Yeah, but that's coming up. This is to do with... It's more of that. The company's aware of it? Yeah. Okay. No one's brought it up with me yet? No, no, no. We're going to wait for that to...
Yeah, but that's coming up.
This is to do with...
It's more of an off-air intervention.
Yeah, exactly.
The police are involved.
No, this is the one, a bit more lighthearted,
but something that's all been brought to our attention.
Basically, you're bringing it to our attention.
What's going on, guys?
We all get up early for this show during the week,
so we understand that. And nowadays, in the weekends, because you all get up early for this show During the week So we understand that
And nowadays in the weekends
Because you do get up early during the week
Around about 4 o'clock
You're sleeping
It's not as late as it maybe once was
But John O'Prior in the weekends
He's a barrage of emails
Early in the morning
What do you mean?
Work emails
On a Saturday morning Early What are we talking about? 6 o'clock? emails early in the morning. Oh. What do you mean? Work emails.
On a Saturday morning?
A Saturday morning.
Early.
Early on a Saturday. What are we talking about?
Six o'clock.
Six o'clock.
Yes.
Yeah.
Now, I get during the week, we get up at four, so you're probably going, oh, well, it's six
o'clock.
But this is Saturday.
You know, this is Saturday.
This is our day, our family day.
And what you've got to realise is, you know, you get to the end of a long week, and there's
not a lot left in the tank.
And so, like, my partner, she doesn't get to spend any quality time with me on a Friday night,
because I get home from work.
He's rinsed.
I sit in my TV chair, have my dinner, and I'm asleep by 7.45.
Dribbling and drooling by 8 o'clock.
It's like a retirement home.
And that's when my phone starts going, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing.
Saturday morning. At 6 a.m. on a Saturday morning, your name is not good around home at the moment.
Usually also all in caps lock too.
It does.
Hi, guys, how are you?
Da-da-da-da.
Just thought for next week we could do this.
Oh, my goodness.
Who says you can or can't send off an erratic bunch of emails
and a scattergun technique at 6 o'clock on a Saturday morning.
Well, that's what we're trying to, we're trying to get to the bottom of right now. I love it also
too, because we do come here early in the morning and often you reply to people in the morning
during the week at like five in the morning and stuff as well on emails. I'm like those poor
people getting notifications on their phone about something that's probably not important right then.
Oh, well, listen, guys, we get up so early Monday to Friday
that I just want us to have the same joy.
I miss you guys on the weekend.
I want us to have the same joy at 6 o'clock on a Saturday morning.
Julie, you're nodding your head in agreeance.
Yeah, I guess so.
But, yeah, like, if I get emails at 6 a.m. on a Saturday morning,
they're hanging over me until Sunday when I actually want to deal with them.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, great, great.
This is what I want. Create a level of anxiety on the show no downtime yeah
listen I don't and I'm not really good I'm not consistent with emails either no Monday to Friday
I'm shocking with it but for some reason Saturday morning bang bang bang bang bang it's like it's
your allocated email time and away you're gonna to go. Clear them all out. So what is the appropriate time to email?
Well, that's a good question.
We'd like to know that at this point.
6.30?
Still too early.
It's a weekend.
It's a weekend.
Would you email?
No.
Yeah, I wouldn't email someone before 7, even during the week.
I wouldn't imagine.
No.
Can you only email about work?
Can you only email really within work hours unless it's an emergency?
Is that the polite thing to do?
I don't know.
There was an email ironically ironically, sent out about
email etiquette around the office.
No emails after five, apparently.
That's what they're saying. Oh, really?
Around here. Okay. But what is the appropriate
time? When can I send
an email? And when can you call
someone as well? Yeah, Boss Todd, he calls
me late sometimes, like, you know, quarter past
nine, I'm in bed, and I'm like, why is he calling me?
Oh, gosh.
But I understand if it's something really important,
you've just got to make that call.
Yeah, but I mean, is it really that important that he's, you know,
he's calling me to let me know that he's going to be in late tomorrow?
Listen, if it's after 10 o'clock at night,
you only want to hear from an international phone scammer
who hasn't read the world clock properly.
Or, you know, a heavy breather.
Those are the only two calls I want after
10pm at night. But in the morning,
it's fair game.
Not early on the weekend. Let's chuck it out.
Let's chuck it out, New Zealand.
When is it appropriate? After night.
So if I got up and mowed the lawns at court, you'd be like,
oh, he's mowing the lawns. It's the same thing.
When's an appropriate time to start emailing
and calling people
on the weekend?
Okay, on the weekend.
We'll focus in on the weekend.
Or not at all on the weekend.
That's it.
If that's your opinion,
give us a call right now.
We'd love to hear from you.
0800 the hits.
Apparently,
I'm sending them too early
on a Saturday morning
at 5.59am.
Come in.
I'll wait till 6.
Start firing them off
at 6 o'clock
and my emailing is harming people
it's affecting people's weekends
gotta admit there's some bloody great emails
coming through though
some of the greatest emails Outlook's
ever seen
but yeah we've opened it up, when's an appropriate time
to email, to stop emailing
let's kick it off with Joanne in Auckland
what do you think?
hello, yeah welcome to the intervention Stop emailing. Let's kick it off with Joanne in Auckland. What do you think? Hello.
Yeah, welcome.
Welcome to the intervention.
There's an email.
Well, now's clearly an appropriate time to receive emails, Joanne.
Yes, you can actually schedule an email to send it later.
I could do that on my phone with a text message some time
ago and I thought on
Thursday last week, there must
be a way that you can do that
through Outlook. So
I went on to Google and asked
and yes, there is
a way you can do it.
Yeah, I've heard of people doing that.
Yeah, there's basically just doing that
and then at the time that they've said it,
all those emails will come through.
But then the problem is, you know, come Monday morning,
it's 7 o'clock when it's all go.
Wouldn't you rather have it at 9 o'clock on a Saturday morning?
I'm just saying, you know?
Yeah, right.
At 6 o'clock.
Wouldn't you rather have them sporadically coming through
and one hit at 6 a.m.?
Get them over and done with.
Get on with your day.
What if your day hasn't started, I guess is the question.
We'll go to Rosita.
Welcome from Christchurch.
Email etiquette.
Your thoughts?
The people receiving should use the do not disturb button.
Oh, so any responsibility falling on the emailer's shoulders,
the author of the email, it's not on them.
No, I think that if they are in the zone, they should go for it.
In the zone, hear that?
Yeah.
In the zone.
Yeah.
The people receiving, they can hit the Do Not Disturb button,
and then they can sort that out so that only urgent or phone calls can come through.
Yeah, right. Juliet, do
I email too much?
Do you think I email too much, Juliet? Is it weird?
Yes.
What we should do is we should schedule them all
for like 11 and 12 at night for
Jono to all come through so he gets the barrage
at the other end of the day.
What are all these things coming through?
We'll get Jimmy on from Karaka. Welcome, Jimmy.
You want to get involved in this, don't you?
Email etiquette, this intervention.
Absolutely, John.
What do you want to say?
I'm in your camp 24-7, mate.
And if they don't respond, you text them.
If they don't respond to your text, you FaceTime call them.
Who's to get my email?
It's business time all the time, Jimmy.
All the time, 24-7, mate.
It's an international society we live in.
Absolutely, yeah.
Well, I do.
I work with Asians and Americans.
So in the morning, it's all Americans.
In the day, it's New Zealand.
In the evening, it's all Asia.
Yeah, see, Ben?
It's all international.
I don't work with Asia or America,
but I can say that to make myself feel better.
Business time all the time for Jimmy.
No off button.
No off button.
I think the hours of, you know, everyone's just like 40 hours a week.
Those days have well gone, right?
You know, the hours are all over the place now.
I get that.
But we're just probably more about Saturday morning.
Just to think that there was a time that you could escape us, Juliet.
Not now, mate. I'm stuck. We're was a time that you could escape us, Juliet. Not now, mate.
I'm stuck.
We're in your phone all the time.
Oh, God.
Seven days a week, writing in caps.
Listen, I've just been the focus of a barrage of an intervention.
My emailing is out of control.
First thing on a Saturday morning, it's unconventional.
It's affecting those around me, and I'm deeply sorry.
Right.
But then I've just Googled 21 unprofessional email habits
that you may be making, and I'm breaking at least 19 of these.
Typing in caps is apparently a big one.
You do that.
Sending emails, but in the subject line, you start the email,
and then you continue it on in the body of...
I've just thought of something.
I'll bring it up after this.
I love it when you do a subject and you just keep
going and it becomes a really long
subject.
I'm in too deep now.
Juliet, your reply? When you send me links
of audio to load in, but you'll put it in the
subject rather than in the body of the
email, which means it doesn't send us a link, so I have
to drag my mouse cursor
over it and copy and paste it rather than just click the link.
Yeah, no, that's one. Being too casual on email as well is apparently a big turn off.
I'm doing all of these things.
I'm an email monster.
You are.
I need to retire from email.
Want more Jono and Ben?
You can catch up with the boys anytime.
Just search Jono and Ben on Facebook.
Yesterday, it was really cool to catch up with Ed Sheeran and talk to him.
And he's up for anything which was awesome
and we decided because he was a good singer
to put him on the spot
and see if he could audition for a
karaoke competition we found online
and this is what happened when he rang
Legend Sports Bar in Pariroa
Place your head on my beating heart
I'm thinking out loud
Maybe we
found love right
where we are.
Wow. What did you think?
That was a really good attempt.
But I'm pretty sure
the participants at our
karaoke on a Thursday night would
surely give you a run for your money.
Oh, a run for your money.
I wrote this song.
This is Ed Sheeran. This is actually Ed Sheeran singing this.
Really?
Yes.
It legitimately is.
But thanks, thanks.
What she didn't mention is that Beyonce actually lives in Porirua now.
So she enters the Wicked Karaoke competition.
In an offense, I mean, you wouldn't have expected that would have been Ed Sheeran.
She had no idea we were calling up and that was Ed. It was auditioning.
We didn't say that.
We just said it was a friend of ours.
Now, it's gone really well online, this, and we just wanted to.
It's Liz, isn't it?
Yeah, it's Liz.
Liz from Legends Sports Bar, the legendary sports bar.
Yeah, Liz the legend.
I think we're on hold now for Liz at the bar.
Say what you want about legends.
You've got some great hold music.
Oh, no.
Legendary hold music.
Legendary hold music.
Liz!
Hi.
It's Jono and Ben calling from the hits.
Your mate's Jono and Ben from the hits.
Yes, yep.
How are you doing?
She's like, I don't know if we're quite mates. Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, definitely.
Most definitely.
Well, Liz, we wanted to call you firstly to say thank you for the other day.
Basically, you didn't know you were going to be part of Ed Sheeran's singing karaoke,
would you?
No.
But we wanted to.
Yeah, it was a bit of a shock to the system.
We wanted to talk to you on radio right now and say, what did you think at the time?
Did you have any idea it was Ed Sheeran?
No, I actually thought I was getting set up. Well, because it was Ed Sheeran no I actually thought I was getting set up well because this was Ed Sheeran himself singing so honey now take me into your loving arms
so that was him that was him belting out one of his one of his classics one of his originals
and you came back and said it's not, but we've got some tough competition. I did.
I love it.
I love it.
He was like, I wrote this song.
You're keeping Ed Sheeran humble.
What is the competition?
What's the competition like at Legion Sports Bar?
It's really fun.
We get so many people who have amazing talent in singing.
And, yeah, it's just, you know, because we are a small local community
and, you know, we just want people to come and have fun,
especially through the whole COVID thingy and that.
Yeah.
Yeah, right.
So how do you think, legitimately, now that Ed Sheeran's not listening,
how do you think he would go on a Thursday night?
Would he get up there?
Would he get?
I think he would have, yeah, yeah, I think he would have been up there.
He would have been up there.
But it's tough competition.
We do have some good singers.
Who's the one singer that you're like, oh, every time they come in,
they're really good, and what's the song that they normally sing?
We usually have a lot of our customers go for, you know,
the old, oldie but goodie songs and things like that.
Like Mustang Sally.
Yeah, definitely.
Mustang Sally.
You've got your Pointer Sisters, all that kind of stuff.
Well, Ed Sheeran, maybe it's a song choice for Ed Sheeran
Maybe she went too much from one of his own
He should have gone for a cover
I'm still in shock
My kids give me grief
I couldn't even tell it was Ed
To be fair
You would have no idea
We've never really had Ed Sheeran on the phone ourselves
Let alone to put him on the phone to you Your first conclusion you're going to jump to Is've never really had Ed Sheeran on the phone ourselves, let alone to put him on the phone to you.
So, I mean, the first conclusion you're going to jump to is
it's probably not Ed Sheeran on the phone.
Yeah, I wouldn't have thought it would be him.
Yeah, yeah, no, yeah.
Well, kind of when you said Edward, I'm like, oh, okay,
that's a bit of an unusual name.
But, yeah, and then you said Ed Sheeran, I was just like, no way.
Oh, my God.
Well, yeah, it was.
We've got a little video up of it.
Well, we'd like to say thank you for being such a legend,
working at Legends.
And if we ever get him in the country and he's up for it,
we might try and bring him along.
Definitely.
It would be more than welcome to have him here on our stage.
He'll definitely be a crowd pleaser for everybody.
Yeah, I'm pretty much.
He sells out stadiums, so I think he'll be a crowd pleaser.
Hopefully.
Yeah, yeah.
You're awesome, Liz.
Nice talking to you.
Thanks again. Awesome. Awesome. Thank you talking to you, thanks again
Awesome, thank you
Bye
Bye
John Owen Benz, Liar Liar
Yeah, Producer Humphrey gets two people on the show
They both state their case
And us as the team of 5 million
Have to figure out
Who is lying to us
Now first up this morning is Larissa
Welcome
Hi Okay, so what's your statement about yourself who is lying to us. Now, first up this morning is Larissa. Welcome. Hi.
Hey, Larissa.
Okay, so what's your statement about yourself?
So, I'm Larissa.
I'm from Palmerston North,
and I am on the hottest Netflix reality show right now.
Oh, the hottest Netflix reality show.
From Palmerston North?
That's awesome.
I'm only going to go on technicalities,
that because she's on Zoom,
I'm leading towards telling the truth.
Or it could be a double play where he tries to get inside our head,
Producer Humphrey, because he's a sadistic individual.
Okay, well, that's pretty awesome if this is the truth.
We're going to go to our other caller right now who's going to stay our same.
Is this also?
Who confusingly is also called Larissa.
Okay, so we've got.
So, sorry, Larissa 1, you stay there.
Okay, Larissa 2.
Larissa 2.
I've never spoken to two Larissas at the same time.
Or again, is this a double play?
Yeah, it may not be a real name.
Larissa 2, what is your statement?
So, I have a world record
for peeling the most amount of potatoes in the fastest time.
Okay, a world record potato peeler. And what's your name the fastest time. Okay. World record potato peeler.
And what's your name?
Larissa.
Okay.
That was a name.
We knew that.
Okay.
You know, Producer Humphrey, if you're going to make up people,
at least come up with a different name to the one that's already on.
World record potato peeling.
Okay.
How fast can you peel a potato in?
I peeled five kgs worth of potatoes in 11 minutes and three seconds.
Okay. What's your favorite potato to peel? Agria. Name threes worth of potatoes in 11 minutes and three seconds. Okay.
What's your favorite potato to peel?
Agria.
Name three other types of potatoes.
That was pretty quick.
Why are you really drilling down on this, Larissa?
A russet.
Yeah, stick that in your potato pipe.
It's like a Jono.
And that's the two that I do all the time.
Okay.
Okay, thanks for the wheels.
Can I pull it out of my pipe now?
Yeah, maybe you can.
All right, we'll throw it out there right now.
You can text us at 4487, which Larissa is telling the truth,
which is telling a lie.
We'll be back, and we'll talk to the person who's telling the truth next.
Jono and Ben's Liar Liar.
Yeah, producer Humphrey gets two people on the show.
Both mention a statement.
We have to figure out, with your help, who is lying.
Coincidentally, both named Larissa today. So Larissa, number one, what do you claim? both mentioned a statement we have to figure out with your help who is lying coincidentally both
named larissa today so larissa number one what do you claim that i am currently on the hottest
netflix reality show okay the hottest and i'm also from palmerston north and she's from has to
be noticed because that's an amazing claim the combination of hottest netflix reality show in
palmerston north are two things that don't go hand in hand. Has this ever happened before?
I don't think so.
Okay, so that was the first Larissa.
Then Larissa number two, world champion what?
Potato peeler.
Potato peeler.
In Agria, your favourite potato to peel?
Correct.
Okay.
Well, I feel like it's an overwhelming response
in our text machine that Larissa number two
is lying about the potato peeling world record.
I am a liar, but my name is Larissa.
Oh, well, there we go.
Well, thank you, Larissa number two.
You only half lied to us.
So the trust is still there.
We can still rebuild this relationship, okay?
We can.
So you have a great day, Larissa number two.
Now we go back to Larissa number one.
You're from Palmy and you're on the hottest Netflix reality TV show.
What's the show? Too Hot to Handle palmy and you're on the hottest reality tv show what's the
show too hot to handle so it literally is the hottest reality show they did a series one of
this show right and it was hugely popular yeah i think like 60 million people or something watched
it worldwide she was i think it helped that it came out in covid was this that now correct me
if i'm wrong was this the show where a whole bunch of
hot people,
hence the name Too Hot to Handle,
turned up on an island
and they thought they were all turning up for
just a rampant hookup fest
and then the rules were
put in play that they couldn't actually
hook up with each other and if they
did the dollar value of the prize money
would go down?
Yeah, that's a great summary, especially the part about us being hot i remember that i was telling you about that was a huge show so how did you get to be on series two of this larissa
um it's actually quite crazy i got a message um it would have been in june last year from someone
um just asking if i wanted to apply for a show called Parties in Paradise because they
tricked us into thinking it was this whole new show
because obviously we weren't going to sign up
to do what to handle
knowing the rules. I guess you'd have a game plan
too, wouldn't you? You'd know what show you were getting
yourself into. So that's very smart. I like
partying in paradise. That's why I live in
Palmerston North. Yeah, you
know it. I already do party in paradise
every day.
They did really good with tricking us though they had like fake t-shirts they even brought in a fake host it was
really good wow it was quite funny because when i first got the message on instagram i actually
thought that it was just like some horny dude alone in his room messaging me because the
application form the website everything was like pretty average but at the time i was like why does
this random guy want to video chat me and ask me
What my favourite statistician is I was very
Stoked when I found out it was a real show
That I hadn't stitched up
That's an unusual thing to have
Happen but obviously you
Turned out to be an actual show
And a huge international smash hit
Yeah which was pretty exciting
Now we've got a bit of audio apparently
Of a little bit of a promo
from uh from the show here is larissa uh on too hot to handle i'm larissa i'm from new zealand
and i'm a lawyer my boobs don't just look good they also have secret talents i can open a beer
bottle with them you know what you can open a beer bottle with your chest i I can. I've had it by accident too. How?
My friend had a beer bottle like up near my chest
and I thought it would be funny
if I kind of like lent on it
and then pop.
Okay.
Okay.
Wow.
And you're a lawyer as well.
That's pretty awesome.
I am.
Kind of cool to go on a show like this
and challenge people's perception.
Yeah, totally.
And now,
so you arrive to film this program party in paradise when is the rug pulled out from underneath
you on the first night so we arrived there and we've all got our bikinis on popping champagne
and then we have a party and it's actually really hilarious because the party we um
dressed up as animals and you can tell they were just stitching us up like they were like
let's get these people in animal costumes and let's have them play a game where they have to
make a mating call and whoever's into them has to come up and like do something to them and so we
were getting like we were all kissing i had i was picked up by someone like it was absolutely crazy
so you guys are all horny and you're not having meaningful relationships so no sex for you like
it just makes us look even more funny do they pay you to go on a
show like this we got paid per day while we were there and obviously there's the massive prize fund
at the end yeah cover your expenses yeah and so they fly you over obviously and put you up and
the whole thing is so surreal you do just like lose your head a little bit and so how long does
it take to how long did you have to have off work to film it? I flew over there and they actually, just because of COVID,
they put us each into a separate villa with just a chaperone.
And for, I think, 15 days, we couldn't leave.
And we got constant COVID tests.
And then on the day 15, we went into the big villa all together.
So I think it ended up being like a five-week process.
Wow.
So you had to like quarantine as soon as you got there?
Yeah, they really cared about our safety
and making sure that no one got sick, which was pretty good.
Oh, that's awesome.
And then did you have to quarantine on the way back?
I did, yeah.
So I went into one of the MIQ facilities over Christmas and New Year's.
Oh, my God.
So I was like, this show better be worth it.
Oh, Larissa, you sound like an awesome person.
It's so cool to see a Kiwi in the hottest Netflix show on TV.
Aw, thank you.
Nice chatting to you.
Hopefully you guys watch it.
Oh, yeah.
Good on you, mate.
Look after yourself.
Thank you, you too.
Jono and Ben, or as they're known in the office, those two.
Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast on the hits.
Talked many times on the show about Bo, my dog Bo, the white fluffy dog Bo.
Thank God you purchased a dog because it provides at least 75% of the content for the show.
I was thinking that yesterday actually.
I was thinking that because I found out the other day that bunnings, I love going to bunnings,
but I found out that dogs can go into bunnings.
Oh, so good.
Dogs can go into bunnings?
Yeah, you can bring your dog into bunnings.
It's fine.
Yeah, they're okay with that.
That seems insane.
It's like when you see dogs on the plane in America.
Yeah.
Why is this a thing?
I know.
So yesterday I was like, well, am I going to take my dog to Bunnings?
I need to go to Bunnings.
Of course I am because it could provide content for the radio program.
Oh, my God.
Your dog in Bunnings.
We have shamed this dog.
Relentlessly shamed this dog.
Thank God it can't understand us because it would
have hurt feelings, but it's a dog.
He was actually pretty good to be honest. The only thing that he
really struggled with, and he'd never
encountered this before, was escalators.
Like escalators for the dog.
He did one and then after that he was like
what?
He was just like, he put his
paws on. It was like that scene in Elf
where he's sort of like
in the department store, the Will Ferrell He was just like, he always put his paws on. It was like that scene in Elf where he's sort of like, you know,
in the department store, the Will Ferrell movie, yeah.
Oh, so he had his back legs still staying on the ground.
Stretching.
He was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, what is this thing?
Yeah.
But it's like when a human goes up an escalator, it's not moving.
Oh, yeah, that warps with your brain, doesn't it?
Yeah, it's a poor bow.
This is the thing.
I thought you would have carried the big thing out.
I had to in the end to get him up the escalator but he was actually
pretty pretty good bunnings are like you can bring your dog in here if they can master the escalator
that's the first hurdle but i did notice and other people that brought their dog in
and and you know when you walk along and you see a dog still stop and then they sort of circle
around and like oh this is gonna and then it started squatting and it was like oh no and then they sort of circle around and they're like, uh-oh, this is going to be a sniffing. And it was like, oh, no.
And then suddenly that dog was going to the bathroom
in the middle of Bunnings.
In an aisle.
In an aisle.
And so, yeah, they had to clean that up.
And, yeah, you know, when you look over, you're like,
oh, I don't want to look, but I also do want to look.
But you're pinning this on another dog.
Was this dog your dog that was doing it at Bunnings?
You're like, oh, there's another irresponsible dog.
This dog looked exactly like my dog.
Yeah, exactly. It wasn't my dog dog the weird thing is ben was still carrying him
but i have talked many times about a noise in the night that the dog makes my dog po he um he'll
come up and it seems like no one else in the family will hear this noise and this is or admit
to hearing it yeah exactly that's what i think it's a little noise that he likes to make um to
sort of and we've sort of talked about going oh it's a little noise that he likes to make um to sort of
and we've sort of talked about going oh it's kind of like a little like to wake me up and we'll wake
someone up and i'm the only one that wakes up he's courteous you know he knows he knows it's quiet
time in the household but last night i was like well i need to try and record this so i went and
got my phone and then i tried to lie back in bed and it kind of confused the dog again because he
was like well i've seen you've got up you've seen me you've've seen me. You've heard me. But I did record a little bit,
but then he got a little bit more frustrated than he normally did
because, I mean, hey, he knew I was awake.
Oh, no.
That was it there.
I was like, mate, come on.
Can we hear the beginning of that again, Juliet?
That's not actually the dog.
Wrong audio again.
Oh, is it?
Yeah.
Oh, I know, you're right.
Sorry for playing that, guys.
No one needed to hear that at 20 past seven.
Moving on, moving on, moving on.
Play something else.
Morning.
This show contains traces of Jono and Ben.
The Hits with Jono and Ben for breakfast.
Shocking weather around New Zealand.
Snow in the deep south.
Cancellations for ferries.
Cancellation for schools and roads all around.
Some would even say it was a polar blast, Ben.
I'm a polar blast, Ben.
Polar blast, polar blast.
We're trying to get some traction on that little jingle.
I hope the news will use it tonight, but I don't know if they will.
Mike Roberts, they tell me there's a Polar Blast, Polar Blast.
He would sound good as the Polar Blast beer, wouldn't he?
He would sound.
We should get, no, he's far too good for that.
He's not going to lower his standards for that, is he?
Polar Blast.
He did my singer, you know.
Maybe he'll be the Polar Blast beer.
Maybe McRoberts has let his standards slip.
Dead right.
Anyway, what we have noticed, though, speaking of the news,
is that they have a wonderful history of sending out reporters,
usually junior reporters, to stand in the eye of a hurricane
or in the middle of a storm or a snowstorm or whatever,
and it's as if they think that us the audience won't believe that the weather's bad outside unless they put
someone out there battling with the elements but they could even just be next to a window
they're like check that out my robert's out there mate but they don't they love to send them out as
you say send them out there in the cold it looks horrible out there but they just do it so we can
see exactly what it's like.
And we're going to do exactly the same thing right now.
We've got our hits reporters around the country who are going to be standing outside,
and they have been for quite a while now.
Come on in, Tracy and Danita.
How are we?
Oh, we're doing well, Tracy.
How cold is it?
Well, can I say bloody cold?
It's really, really, really cold.
There's white stuff everywhere.
It's currently hailing and snowing, and you've got me standing outside.
I don't get paid enough for this.
You don't get paid at all, to be honest.
I don't know.
Did anyone offer you money?
Because I don't think we shouldn't have.
What are you saying about Tracey's reporting here?
I'm just saying we don't have the budget.
I know the budget's tight right now.
I mean, you're doing a great job.
But don't expect payment.
Awesome.
You guys are amazing.
And thank you.
Thank you for having me outside.
You're welcome.
You're welcome.
Whereabouts in New Zealand are you?
Dunedin.
Dunedin.
Do you know the best thing is, you know,
we've had you waiting outside on hold for about five or six minutes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You don't need to tell me about it.
I am now a snowman.
So some factual information now.
Are schools closed?
Some schools are.
Some schools start at 10.
There's a massive list.
Lots of roads closed, though.
Like, I'm not sure I can go to work.
So that's kind of cool.
Oh, well, you've already done your job today.
That's right.
Yeah.
Yeah, we earned no money, though.
It's an unpaid job.
Let's just be clear about that.
But you've done a great job of that.
This has worked out badly for me.
Tracy, great volunteering this morning.
Really appreciate your labour.
Yeah, thank you.
Okay, warm up.
Now we'll go to Christchurch, who have also made Unnecessarily Stand Outside.
Annabelle, come on in.
Hello, how are we?
Good.
Even more unnecessary than the news crosses, because at least you can see they're outside.
We don't even know if you're outside or not,
but we're making you stand outside, Annabelle.
Yeah, it's quite rude.
It is a bit rude.
Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
By the way, you're not getting paid.
I don't know.
Did anyone offer you money?
Because they shouldn't have.
But what about some New Zealand, are you?
Christchurch.
Christchurch.
And it's Christchurch this morning.
How cold would you say it would be?
I'd say approximately, it feels
like negative five.
When I have had sleep
overnight, they woke me up at 4am.
Jeez. And you
are making a stand outside.
I feel a bit bad about that now.
We did request that you were doing it on bare feet
as well.
I've got my slippers on. No, definitely not getting paid now.
Thank you, Annabelle.
And we'll go to Lauren, our dear friend Lauren in Wellington.
All the ferries are closed, Lauren, and you're standing outside.
You're battling away, battler.
Okay, windy Wellington is living up to its name this morning.
It is dark.
It is windy.
It is crazy.
It's even haylick.
Yeah, no, you need to.
We can't hear the wind,
so you're going to have to make some wind noise with your mouth.
Really?
Yeah.
While I'm talking?
Yeah, no, just to do a bit of talking.
Oh, no, you do the wind noise and then Lauren can report.
Okay.
It is windy and well into the morning.
I tell you, it's living up to its name.
It's hailing.
We've got everything going on this morning.
It is mental.
We've got snow apparently on the rim.
And chilly.
Angry motorists too.
There were angry motorists this morning.
You didn't let me in, you mongrel.
Hey, get sticking up your horse, mate.
A flock of seagulls is coming.
And a T-Rex for some reason brought back. Hey, get sticking up your horse pipe. A flock of seagulls is coming. Caw, caw, caw, caw.
And a T-Rex, for some reason, brought back.
There we go.
Hey, Laura, that was great.
But really, is the city closed?
No, no, it's all good.
I only just woke up, so I'm kind of catching up on it all myself, to be honest.
But, yeah, it is hailing, literally hailing.
And there's going to be snow, which is not normal for Wellington.
It's snow, yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, because you've only been in Wellington for, what, a few months now?
Yeah, it's been like six months.
I haven't seen any snow yet, though.
No, and you were like,
I love Wellington.
I don't regret leaving Auckland.
Will you just call us?
You tell us at what point today
you regret leaving Auckland.
I would still choose snowy, haily Wellington over Auckland, I tell you.
So we'd love to catch up with you.
Stay warm and safe today, and we'll talk to you soon.
Cheers, guys.
Bye.
New Zealand's breakfast.
This is Jono and Ben on the Heads.
Good morning, New Zealand.
Welcome on to the show.
Tuesday morning, Jono and Ben back with you.
It's cold around the country.
Wellington apparently getting pounded.
The waterfront getting a lashing.
Oh, really?
Yeah, I was reading on the news there.
They're predicting minus 10 in Otago overnight.
We came out with those wild claims yesterday.
Four degrees colder than the North Pole.
What did happen overnight?
A lot of snowy pitches we're waking up to this morning from the deep south.
Oh, it's one degree in Otago now.
Barmy.
Oh, yeah.
It's like the peak of January.
Oh, totally.
What are they moaning about?
That's a go to the beach, have a swim day, isn't it?
Down there.
Get the barbie out.
How are you, Juliet, this morning?
I'm great, thanks.
How are you guys?
Yeah, good.
Good.
I'm sluggish.
Sluggish this week for some reason.
Are you?
A little bit like that, you know.
But hey, let's not start the show on a negative note.
No, that's right.
Let's not get into this awkward hole.
Coming up on the program, we've got a fun game we like to play, Liar Liar,
where Producer Humphrey has tracked down two people.
One of them is blatantly lying to our face, and with your help, we have to figure out
who's telling the truth and who's lying.
He says today he's got something involving potatoes and something involving an international program.
Ooh.
Yeah.
He's done some hard producing.
Been producing his ass off.
As well as that, the show needs to have an intervention.
We're going to do that at 8 o'clock.
One of the members of the show doesn't know about it And I think you know who that is
Because I'm talking about it right now
So Jono will find out why everyone's having an intervention behind his back
We apologise in advance
Sorry about that
Sorry about that
I'm sorry to rope you into this
Sorry you've been dragged into this
Jono and Pam
Breakfast on the heads
The heads
The heads
Can I just Google what's Adam Lambert doing nowadays?
He's a lovely guy, Adam Lambert
He's awesome actually,, Adam Lambert.
Met him once.
It says, singer-songwriter Adam Lambert's now worth an estimated $30 million,
which can be considered very satisfying for his age.
I think $30 million is satisfying no matter what age you are.
Yeah.
How old is Adam Lambert?
Would he be in his 40s maybe? Then they don't chill on how old he is.
He wouldn't be that old, would he?
I'm very satisfying for his age.
How old is Adam Lambert?
He's 39.
So 30 mil is, I mean, I'm 39.
That would be satisfying.
Would that be satisfying for your age?
If you were Adam Lambert, would you be satisfied by that?
Julian, you're 22.
Would that be satisfying?
That would be more than satisfying.
Even if you're retiring.
I'll tell you something that wasn't satisfying yesterday.
I don't know if this has happened to you.
It probably has.
But I like to sign up for a free trial on things from time to time.
And I had like a month free trial for one thing.
And then they sent you an email going, hey, you need to cancel the subscription.
Otherwise, they'll start charging you.
And you're like, that's fine.
Oh, so you get a warning shot for it. Yeah, I got a warning shot for that you. You're like, that's fine. Oh, so you get a warning shot for it.
Yeah, I got a warning shot for that.
And I was like, that's fine.
But then when I went on to the-
Does the email go, hey, tight ass, just so you know.
Just so you know it's going to start.
But when you go on to places, I don't know if this happens to you guys,
it's so hard to cancel.
Like, they make it almost impossible to find-
Like, I could not find like the cancel thing it was all
how i could sign up for more months or not and then you go into a loop of like okay well maybe
i could find you know would you like to contact it's like i just want to talk to someone can
someone give me an email when you go email and then what do you want to email them about these
things there's yeah and then was that helpful i was like no it wasn't helpful because you haven't
given me anyone's email you just get stuck in the loop.
And you can never find a phone number on a website nowadays.
Nothing.
I was just like, give me something.
But I'm like, I haven't unsubscribed because I don't know how to.
I can delete the whole thing.
Cheeky.
I know.
It's like they purposely obviously do this. Well, they're not going to have, like, to be fair to the service,
I don't know what service it is.
Let's just say it was Netflix, for example.
They're not going to have cancel, cancel, cancel at the top.
You want to hide that down by the disclaimer you know down the bottom of the page i just
honestly couldn't find it even get my wife to go could you try and find she couldn't find it either
we're going around in this loop and then eventually i like try to sign up through my phone to log in
and then they get this thing on my phone going you have a data breach now your data is all
compromised your passwords need to change for everything. I'm like, how did I compromise
all my data?
So now I don't know what's happening.
I know, but the real life equivalent,
you with your free tree, he's always on a free
subscription. The real life equivalent is
wandering into Baker's Delight, nibbling on those
little things they have on the counter,
and walking out, not even buying a cheesy
white scroll. That's so true!
Free! Free!
I know, but there's an expectation that, you know, maybe as a decent And walking out, not even buying a cheesy white scroll. That's so true. Yeah, they're free. They're free.
I know.
But there's an expectation that, you know, maybe as a decent person you might continue.
Well, I am.
I'm going to have to continue because I can't work out how to cancel the freaking thing.
So anyway, I'm sure it's the same.
I thought you had that problem anyway, but yeah.
But no, whatever.
Now I'm getting frustrated just thinking about it.
This is proudly the only news bulletin in journalism that's made up as we go along.
Ben Boyce, what's been happening in the news?
Well, today is the day we'll find out if Alert Level 2 in Wellington will be extended or not.
And as well as that, the bubble with Australia as well. That was just a three-day bubble.
The bubble was burst for three days for New Zealand and Australia.
We find out today if they'll continue that or not.
I know they're always doing
crosses in the news outside the
Wellington Testing Centre.
They could zhuzh it up a bit, the
testing centre. It's just like a big
white tent with a... Yeah, they're kind of like marquees
or something, right? Yeah!
It zhuzh it up a bit, Wellington.
You're meant to be the trendy city in New Zealand.
And the sign looks like it was just
a panic, a last minute
panic job, wasn't it? To put the sign
in the COVID testing centre. And it was a last minute panic
job, I think. I don't think they really planned
for this, did they? I was
enjoying watching News Hub last
night and they had the article on
Australia and where it's at,
and I think there was another sort of 20-odd new cases in Sydney yesterday.
Things aren't so good over in Sydney, which is horrible.
Boss Todd's over there.
Boss Todd went over two Fridays ago.
I think we even said to him,
ooh, bit of a risky move.
He said yesterday that he may not come back this year,
and he heard that.
He heard that.
He's like, that wasn't nice to hear.
But it's the truth. When could he come back this year, and he heard that. He heard that. He's like, that wasn't nice to hear. Yeah.
But it's the truth.
Well, no.
When could he come back?
I mean, I'm not a Jew.
I'm sure.
I don't think he's...
A bit Germanic, eh?
Yeah, I'm like, he may not get back by the end of the year.
You're like, what?
Yeah, a bit drastic.
Why is everyone thinking that?
Oh, my boy, yeah.
Our job is to scaremonger.
Put people into uncertainty on the radio.
But yeah, they had the story on the news.
There was an update in the New South Wales premiere.
She was at the press conference and she said this.
Now whilst the numbers today are less than the numbers yesterday,
we have to be prepared for the numbers to bounce around
and we also have to be prepared for the numbers to go up considerably.
Great information.
Then the epidemiologist came out and said this.
Let's start wearing these masks.
This is absolutely vital.
The next 24 to 48 hours are going to be very crucial in Queensland.
Yeah, beautiful.
More great information.
Then they wheel out the cop.
And this is what the cop comes out with.
Unbelievably, we saw two men sunbaking naked on a beach on the south coast.
I was startled by a deer, ran into the National Forest National Park and got lost.
This is the same piece.
I don't know what that had to do with anything.
And they were sunbaking?
Yeah.
Not sunbathing.
Yeah, yeah.
And he's like, by the way, we caught some naked people sunbathing.
We were just talking about some gossip and stuff.
It's having a little bit of work, right?
You can imagine the other two were looking at him like,
did you get the memo about this press conference?
Good story, though.
I mean, that's what you want to hear.
I mean, they're lighting things up.
You're like, oh, yeah, the numbers of the COVID numbers.
It is real about these naked sunbakers.
That sounds like an exciting story.
And that is scrolling through your feed this morning.
After 7 o'clock on the show, we made a bit of a call with Ed Sheeran yesterday.
We wanted to see if he could win a karaoke competition in Pari Rua.
We're going to follow it up and see what they thought in Pari Rua
with Ed Sheeran auditioning for them after 7.
It is the hits.
The Google Game.
A game we like to play
you guys give us a call and you can
ask us anything you want to ask us
we've got ten seconds to Google the answer
to that question. If we can't Google it in ten
seconds you win. Yeah it's panic Googling
isn't it? It's the same sort of panic Googling
that you do when you spill red wine on the carpet
or when you send an email
to someone that you were bitching about and how to
suck back the email, that sort of stuff.
Oh, here you go.
See if you can Google this.
What did a Christchurch lady have stuck up her nose for 37 years?
Christchurch lady up her nose 37 years.
Tiddlywink.
Yeah, I was just reading about that in the news.
A tiddlywink.
37 years.
What, the ones where you clip and they bounce in the air?
Yeah, like a little plastic disc, sort of like from a board game.
Tiddlywinks and yonks.
Yeah, so she said she'd always had sort of breathing, you know,
like through one side and feeling a little clogged up,
and eventually she got a COVID test last year and it dislodged.
That's terrifying.
I know, the poor lady.
So, yeah, there you go.
Seems like one of those events in life That you wouldn't forget
Putting one of those up there
Doesn't it
It's not like a
Well no
Even as a little kid
But I don't know
Maybe
Maybe
Or maybe it was just the game
Maybe you get so engrossed
In a game
It's like Tilly Winks
Maybe that's what happens
So yeah
The Google Game
A game we like to play
Will you give us a call
On 0800 the hits
And we've got 10 seconds

It's Hell Pizza up for grabs.
Try Hell Pizza's new smoky brisket pizza.
How good does that sound?
What is brisket?
I like it when they have it.
Smoked cheddar and onion rings loaded all in that pizza.
Sounds amazing.
Oh, yum.
What is a brisket?
I don't know.
Sounds amazing.
Bloody delicious.
We'll get Tony on from Christchurch.
More in it, Tony.
How are you?
How are you going, guys?
We're doing well.
What are you doing today, Tony?
Just driving down from Gleaming to Christchurch for some wildly crazy weather.
Is it cold?
Minus one, minus two, now it's three.
There's snow and trees on the road and firemen and just heat.
What do you do? You're a truck driver? Yeah, man. Yeah, right. We'll take it safe out on the road and firemen and the like. What do you do?
You're a truck driver?
Yeah, man.
Yeah, right.
We'll take it safe out on the roads.
Yeah, jeez.
That's what I feel obliged to say at a moment like this,
as if you weren't going to be safe anyway, Tony,
I wouldn't imagine.
All right, we've got 10 seconds to Google something,
get you the answer for it.
If we don't, you get the hell pizza.
What's the question?
Juliet can do the Googling.
Oh, God.
What is the smallest matter of particle discovered by the Large Hadron Collider?
What?
Smallest matter of particle
Smallest matter of particle
Discovered by
Something I have no idea what the rest of that
Large Hadron Collider
Oh no
What a good question
What a good question
That was really good
Do you know the answer to that Or or you just looked for something else?
They call it a Humpty Dumpty particle, but it's basically called an Egotron,
and it's something that fuses particles together.
They discovered it in Switzerland when they smashed particles against each other in the glider.
Listen, I don't want to say you're wasted driving trucks,
but you could probably be solving a pandemic right now, Tony.
Yeah, but I can't be by myself enjoying the scenery.
Oh, that's right.
And listening to us every morning.
Yeah, well, congratulations.
You've won some of that Hell Pizza, the new brisket pizza.
Cheers, guys.
Good on you.
Keep safe out there on the roads.
We'll go to Tauranga.
Aaron, you're on the air.
Welcome.
Good morning.
How are you?
We're doing well, Aaron.
It's good to have you on. Ben's going to
do the Googling. You're going to do the question answering.
If we don't get it in 10 seconds, we bring
great shame upon our families.
What's the question? I'm hoping
the spelling makes
it hard. How do you spell the
asbestos pipe chrysotillite?
What?
Stop the clock, Julian.
Re-ask the question.
How do we smell what?
The asbestos pipe close to the light.
See, people have found a loophole in the game now.
I can't.
I'll let her time it right out.
It's not going to happen.
I don't know, but I don't know how to spell it.
What a good question, and you've won some Hell Pizza.
Thank you very much.
How do you spell it?
I don't know it exactly.
I'm pretty sure it's C-H-R-O-C-I-D something.
Okay.
And what is it, secondly?
It's blue asbestos, so it's like the worst type of asbestos you can find.
Oh, I think we've had some of that in the ceiling, yeah.
That's what that blue stuff is.
It won't be in the ceiling unless it's by the cement board.
Oh, there you go.
Okay, well, shame on me.
Remember we used to work at a radio studio?
I'm pretty sure there was asbestos dripping through the ongoing lung issues there.
We don't like to think about it too much.
Hey, good on you, Aaron.
Have a great Tuesday My friend
Thank you you too
Alright buddy
Hey coming up next
Something happened to me
Shopping yesterday
While I was on the phone
To my wife
And a third party
Chimed into the conversation
Oh really
Yeah
Which I thought was
Unorthodox in public
Yeah we'll find out
What it is next on the hits
Yeah yeah nah
Yeah nah
Yeah nah
The home of yeah nah
She'll be right
And at the end of the day...
Jono and Ben, breakfast on the hits.
We got into a brisket conversation.
Jeez, we cover a lot of ground between six and seven, don't we?
Someone's texting saying it's a part of the chest of the cow on 4487.
A cut of meat, very good for slow-smoked barbecue.
Oh, yeah, of course, yeah.
Some people take their barbecuing very seriously nowadays, don't they?
You don't like it when people come over to your house for a barbecue, do you?
You don't like the pressure.
No.
Yeah, people are really judgmental, aren't they?
When they stand out.
I was there when you got a brand new one, the Jumbuck from Mitre 10.
I've now replaced that one because I got shamed out of that one.
Yeah, Jumbuck shamed.
Yeah.
I was like, that's a nice barbecue, Ben.
No, apparently not.
I was like, look at your Jumbuck.
It's the Weber.
It's the people that the Weber barbecue crowd, you know? They're great barbecues. They're like the craft beer crowd. They are, but yeah.'s the Weber barbecue crowd.
They're great barbecues.
They're like the craft beer crowd.
Or the F45 crowd.
I just cooked a chicken, I put a beer can
in its victim.
A, ooh.
And secondly,
why do I want a beer can inside a chicken?
I cooked that for hours.
You'll find it's a little pinker, but it's fine
I'll tell you, it's well cooked
And would you like a Wellington craft beer?
With woods from the Rimutaka Rangers
They strike their beds and ride their tent speeds
Yeah, right, they're just a better class of person
Anyway, I was in the supermarket yesterday
And I was talking to Jay, my wife
She was just telling me things to get
I told you the other day, I'm the errands guy.
Running around to get errands.
And then I said, okay, doll, bye.
That's what I call her, is doll.
Yeah, I know.
It's a sweet voice.
I've noticed that.
Yeah, everyone knows that.
It's sweet.
And then I was in the self-service.
I was, okay, doll, bye.
And a guy in a hivers behind me, nice nickname, doll.
Not even nickname shamed me.
Fair enough.
The self-service.
How could you do that?
Well, you get shamed at work, but you still persist with it.
It's just become part of the norm now.
Do you have a nickname for Amanda?
Not really.
Sugar Pants?
No.
Other misogynistic names?
No.
No, I don't think so.
I don't really think.
No, I don't really do.
Amanda will do unto me to mock me because I don't really think. I don't know. I don't really do, you know.
Like, Manda will do unto me to mock me because I'm not really a nickname person.
I always feel like nicknames feel a bit condescending for some reason.
Right.
You know, if someone calls you sweetie or hun, you kind of feel like it's a bit like.
What if it's the name shortened?
Like, do you ever call her mans or anything? Oh, yeah.
Hey, man.
Hey, man.
I don't know if man, but you know what I mean.
Manda, maybe.
Yeah. Man. Well, yeah. You call her Manda. Maybe Manda. Or you knock your letter off the front. Amanda maybe yeah
Amanda maybe Amanda
that's as nickname as I'm going to get
yeah I'm against nicknames I don't know sometimes I always feel like when people
call you stuff you're like is it you don't like champ do you
champs when someone calls you champ you don't like hun
I don't like hun or sweetie.
Oh God, go away.
Have you been in a long-term relationship,
producer Juliet?
Yes.
And did your boyfriend call you a nickname?
Occasionally we'd call each other babe,
as cringe as that sounds.
I should stop.
But it's a funny one in a relationship.
Like who first drops the nickname to?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like when do you
at what point at what point is that a safe zone yeah i know i'm never the first one to say it
never yeah i stand my ground did you feel obliged once he had called you babe to chuck a babe back
into his court i probably i probably meant like by that point i probably meant it like hey babe
you know it wasn't like i was saying it because i he had only said it to me forcing it yeah did he do a lot and did he do and i love you yes and was that awkward the
first time no it just rolled off the tongue yeah i think so yeah oh gosh it was a while ago so i'm
trying to remember but i think yeah i think it was pretty like i love you back or like thanks mate

They won't be happy.
We'll get Tanya on from Auckland.

Health promotion?
Oh, is that like buy one, get one free sort of?
Buy these vitamins.
Get something free?
Or is that more promoting good health?
Promoting good health.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, I probably could answer that one myself.
I don't think there's a buy one, get one free course at university.
If you want to sell more vitamins, you just say, oh, that's a great health promotion.
How long is this course?
Four years.
Is it four years for us to understand that if we sell one thing, you can...

You have a great day at uni. Teach the youth
well.
Thank you. We've got
Spy Entertainment News not too far away.
A famous Aussie has slammed Sydney's lockdown
and they're the furthest thing you can get
from an epidemiologist.
I'll tell you who that is next.
Spy.
No, what's up?
Spy.co.nz.
All right, now for Juliet.
The update of how the celebrities have been screwing up over the last 24 hours.
What's happening, Ju?
So British actor and comedian Ricky Gervais,
you may know him from his roles in Afterlife and The Office.
And in the past, he is kind of known as the really funny host of the Golden Globes.
Of course women should be paid the same as men for doing the same job.
And I'd like to say now that I'm getting paid exactly the same as Tina and Amy did last year.
No, I know there was two of them, but it's not my fault if they want to share the money, is it? So he's very, very funny, and he's revealed why he turns down literally up to tens of
millions of dollars to host or emcee billionaire's weddings, parties, or corporate events.
And he says it's not because he thinks it's beneath him, it's literally just because he
won't enjoy it.
And so when he first started out, he did one where the pay was the same in the one night
as what his dad made in a year.
But he hated every minute of it.
It was a corporate event with a bunch of drunk marketing managers.
And he said, I'm never, ever going to do this again.
Because he thought about doing it because he does quite a lot of stuff for charity.
Particularly loves animals.
He thought about just taking the money and giving it to charity.
But even then he was like, I have to go through this whole event tonight.
Not worth it.
You know what it's like when you have to go to something that you don't want to go to?
Yeah, I know.
You have to lead up in there and you're like, but when you actually do it, it's over and done with quickly.
Yeah, yeah.
But it's the lead up to it.
You're just dreading it constantly.
I understand.
No, like when Ben, you have to go spend time with your family up north.
Yeah.
You're not getting paid for it.
And Rebel Wilson has slammed Sydney's latest lockdown on her Instagram stories.
She posted a photo that her mother took of the supermarket shelves and Woolworths of them all being empty,
presumably of toilet paper.
She said, Sydney, WTF, you can't keep locking down as a strategy.
But obviously she's getting a little bit of backlash because of this.
People are like, mate, you're in Hollywood. Stop.
Well, I think she's recently been on private of backlash because of this. People are like, mate, you're in Hollywood. Stop, you know.
Well, I think she's recently been on private jets and stuff recently,
posting photos.
And now people are like, are you an epidemiologist?
As someone was saying the other day now.
Locking down as a strategy seems to have worked pretty well for most people who are locked in.
Yeah, exactly.
Nip it in the bud.
Yeah.
Totally.
Anyway, what has brought us a lot of joy this morning, though,
is this police officer who, at the COVID update in New South Wales last night,
thought it best to get this information out there.
Unbelievably, we saw two men sunbaking naked on a beach in the south coast.
There you go, sunbaking naked men,
which had nothing to do with the COVID press conference that was happening.
But it's brought us a lot of joy. I guess maybe
it was to do with the lockdown. Maybe they were defying
lockdown. Maybe that was
his connection. Now I come to think of it.
True. But your card's probably
sunbaked naked anyway so I don't know
what law they've broken. Probably the lockdown
and the sunbaked and the public
nudity. And then they got chased into the
forest by a deer. Oh god.
It was like you're flouting social
distancing rules. What a combination of events.
And that is five and more. You can head to the hits.co.nz
After seven, we've got
five grand back on the line.
Five words, $5,000 at 7.45
on the hits.
As you just heard before, a bit of
a polar blast going around the country.
We thought we'd play this again.
I'm a polar blast.
Polar blast, polar blast.
We need to record the music for the polar blast.
When you say play it again, play the original again,
and then I do a shabby job singing over the top of the polar bear.
Yeah, we were reflecting on this back at our 90s show on Friday
about the polar pops.
Polar blast. I'm a polar pops. Polar blast!
I'm a polar blast.
Yeah, polar blast.
What we need to do, let's try and cross to some reporters out in the elements.
It's what the news does so well.
It unnecessarily places the reporters out in the sleet, hail, snow, whatever.
And they're like, how cold is it there, Tiffany? And Tiffany's like, it's pretty bloody cold, Mike McRoberts. Back to you in the sleet, hail, snow, whatever, and they're like, how cold is it there, Tiffany?
And Tiffany's like, it's pretty bloody cold, Mike McRoberts.
Back to you in the studio.
Yeah, and Tiffany, for argument's sake,
could have been standing inside with a window behind her.
Yeah, she could have gone, I can tell you it's pretty cold out there, Mike.
Without actually being out there.
But you're right.
I don't believe you unless you're out there.
They send them out there into the cold in all sorts of conditions.
So let's do that to someone else.
We're going to do an even more pointless exercise and do it on radio.
So you can't even see that they're outside.
But we'll make them go outside.
Five words for 5K on the hits.
You're only five words away from a massive payday.
We've got $5,000.
That is up for grabs.
That will warm you up on a cold morning.
So give us a call right now if you want to play five words for 5K.
Jeez, we haven't had a winner in quite a long time,
much like you
with your horses, Ben.
All you need is one
to come through.
And you're back.
You're in your back, baby.
Race seven at Tarapa.
Today's the day.
Today's the day, guys.
Today's the day.
Put me out of the fire, Ben.
Race four.
It's simple.
All you need to do
is match your five words
with our five words.
And don't forget,
Producer Juliet,
you're an option to go into the soundproof booth.
You hate every minute of it.
I am.
It's really scary because you don't want to let people down.
And I really want to give away $5,000,
but sometimes it's a bit hard.
Well, I tell you what, I'm www.excited.com for today's game.
I've got a really good feeling about it.
So 0800 the hits if you want to win $5,000 right now.
We'll do five words next.
Five words for 5K on the hits. You're only five words away from a massive payday.
It is our game of word association. We tell you five words. You tell us the words that
pop into your head. Your words match up with ours. You win five grand.
It's the game the nation stops for, even open heart surgeons. They've stopped surgery before
for this, and we've lost many good people on the operating table, but it's all worth
it. Isn't it, Andrea?
It is.
There goes another one.
Someone's just texted and saying we lost another one.
You're in Cambridge this morning.
Yes, I am.
Horses, lakes, beautiful trees.
A velodrome, you can cycle in circles.
It's got it all.
Yeah, yeah.
Velodrome.
It's a good place to live.
Sorry, Andrea, what were you going to say? It's a good place to live Sorry, Andrea What were you going to say?
It's a good place to be
I bet it is
Velodromes are a lot steeper
Than you think they would be
Yes
Yeah, it looks very dangerous
If you don't know what you're doing
Yeah
Although if you don't know
What you're doing
You can also take out riders
With a sign at the Tour de France
That's what we've learnt as well
Did you see that?
Did you see that?
Yeah
Oh, poor lady
Now there's a man hunt for her
Or a woman hunt.
Everyone can go hunting.
But yeah, they're trying to track her down now.
She's going to get to potentially prison time.
I'm sorry, fam.
It was clearly an accident.
But anyway.
It was a great accident, though.
Jeez, it was comedy watching a mob of cyclists fall over.
But Andrea, what we need to do right now is win you $5,000.
Who are you sending into the soundproof booth?
Ben, please.
Oh, Ben.
There we go.
I actually rented the soundproof booth out to the Department of Corrections too.
So it's now a solitary confinement booth too.
There's a maximum security prisoner in there as well with Ben.
So he's got tattoos on his face, but he claims he's innocent.
He's a lovely guy.
Andrea, let's go.
First words come into your head
when I say some words.
Your phone.
What did your phone eat last night?
I have my face.
Oh, my gosh.
Very squeaky.
Oh, and...
I think we've lost her.
We lost Andrea. What do you want to do right now, Producer Humph think we've lost her. We lost Andrea.
What do you want to do right now, Producer Humphrey?
We lost Andrea.
You want to call her back, mate?
Producer Humphrey's going to try and panic call Andrea back.
We may as well get Ben out of the soundproof booth in the meantime.
Ben!
He can't hear you.
Ben, come out of the booth!
We lost Andrea, bro.
What?
Yeah, no.
She was RIP, Andrea.
We're getting her back.
Yeah.
Her phone was having a stroke, and then we lost her.
So now I thought I'd get you out of the soundproof booth,
because I'm no good at filling in time.
Oh, right.
So we're getting her back, are we?
Yeah, Ben's just got her back on the phone, producer Humphrey.
Should I go back in the booth again?
Yeah.
You can go back on the phone, Producer Humphrey. Should I go back in the booth again? Yeah. You can go back in the booth.
This just exposed me for the shabby broadcaster I pretend that I am.
Five words, $5,000 on hold.
Okay, we're going to go line four.
Katrina, you're on now.
Good morning, gentlemen.
How are we?
We're doing well.
Andrea's loss is your gain this morning. Okay, first word. How are we? We're doing well. Andrea's lost as you're getting this morning.
Okay, first word that comes into your head when I say boom.
Grass.
Nice one.
Word number two is flavour.
Tasty.
Silk.
Pillowcase. Pillowcase.
Pillowcase.
A silk pillowcase would be...
They're divine.
I've never...
Silk sheets would weird me out.
Silk boxes weirded me out.
They always rode up.
I don't know if you've felt the same fate,
but I'm still pulling pieces of Bugs Bunny boxer out from inside of me
from when I was a teenager.
Okay, far too much information.
Yeah, TMI, open book, Andrea.
Katrina, open book.
Okay, word number four is measure, mate.
That's a toughie.
Yeah, a few options there.
Measure.
Measure.
Can I come back to that word?
Yeah, the fifth and final word was chore.
As in S-U-R-E?
Oh, C-H-O-R-E.
Chore.
Oh, chore.
There's lots of them.
Housework.
Housework.
Okay, we'll jump back to word number four for you, Kat.
It was measure.
Measure.
Measure. Measure, measure, measure. I might, that's a toughie, I might go, I've got rules, ruler, desk, measure.
Measure time, measure liquid. I'm going to measure liquid actually.
Measure liquid? Yeah.
Unorthodox but we'll lock it in.
That's a toughie.
Yeah, that is a tough word out of all five of them.
All right, we'll get Ben out of the soundproof booth.
Hold there.
We lost Andrea.
Now we've got Katrina.
Where's Katrina?
Yeah, Katrina's new.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Do you even want me to play the game for you?
Absolutely, of course I do.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah.
So, Andrew didn't like how you spoke to her.
She didn't like your tone.
Yeah.
This is what a wild ride this has been.
You go in there, you come out, you're like, oh, this is a change.
By the way, Fletch and Vaughan are going to be working with you after this next song.
Okay.
Yeah, a lot of stuff's going on.
I've missed a lot of things.
All right, let's do it.
Five words.
See if you can win Katrina.
$5,000. First word was boom. Grass. All right, let's do it. Five words, see if you can win Katrina. $5,000.
First word was berm.
Grass.
You're off the mark, Katrina.
Word number two.
Nice work.
Flavour.
Oh, strawberry?
You're off the mark and now you're on the mark.
It's all done.
All right.
It was grass.
Sorry, tasty flavour.
Oh, tasty, yes. tasty yeah word number three was
silk oh jesus lots of options for that one fabric pillow measure was the fourth word uh ruler
sure um jobs it was almost like you hadn't met Katrina.
Go back in the booth. He did.
Katrina, well, listen, thank you for choosing this show.
We know there's many to choose from.
You're delightful, guys.
We're probably the worst of those choices, but we appreciate your time.
Thanks so much.
Have a great day.
Keep safe out there in Christchurch.
Keep warm.
Spy next, Jude.
Yeah, Eden Park has been given a very prestigious title.
Not sure if it necessarily deserves it, but I'll tell you what it is next.
Real Kiwi blokes with soy lattes.
Mmm.
Shono and Bem, breakfast on the hits.
Very cold morning around New Zealand snow in Queenstown
and the worst tidal storm in eight years in Wellington,
so all the ferries naturally cancelled today.
Who went back through all the tidal
storms over the...
No, not year one, not year two.
And they ended up on year eight. They're like, no, that won't
be year eight. We'll find
out today at the end of the day.
It is that.
Spy. No WhatsApp. Spy.co.nz
Now I got a wonderful email yesterday from
Laura who listens to the show and she's like,
I hear you doing all these introductions for Juliet for Spy. So she's like, I thought I wonderful email yesterday from Laura, who listens to the show, and she's like, I hear you doing all these introductions for Juliet, for Spy.
So she's like, I thought I'd help you out.
Oh, gosh.
Here we go.
Now to Juliet, who's a millennial.
We can't weigh her in kilograms, just Instagrams.
Not bad, Laura.
That is very, very good.
Well done, Laz.
So in a new poll, Eden Park has been ranked as the
best stadium in the world.
And it's the first...
I love it when we're number one in anything.
So good. So good. Don't tell me, don't go into
the details. I know it's going to be COVID
and all these things and we're in per capita
and stuff. I don't care. Just number one
Eden Park. That's all I want to know. And it's the first New Zealand
stadium to do so, which is very good.
And also, in the same poll, four of the world's top five earning stadiums last year were in
New Zealand.
Okay, can we just change the list from the top stadiums to stadiums that were capable
of functioning in the last 12 months?
Let's see it.
Oh, there you go.
Tall, poppy chopping over there.
We didn't even get five.
How did we not get all five?
We should have cleaned up.
Yeah, true.
Who was the fifth?
So we had Eden Park was number one.
Sky Stadium in Wellington was number two.
Claude Lynn's Oval in Hamilton was number three.
Hagley Park was number four.
And then I didn't read number five because that's just irrelevant.
That's irrelevant.
We won't even put that in our media coverage.
Not even Denis.
Denis didn't get a shout out.
I don't think so.
Yeah, but Mount Smart Stadium came in at number seven.
Then you had Waitangi Sports Grounds came in at ninth.
So it's literally just New Zealand dominated.
Yeah, because they had a Wellington 660 concert up there.
So yeah, that was awesome.
So there we go.
This feels like when we break down our medal wins per capita at the Olympics, doesn't it?
Yeah, true.
But we'll take it.
We'll take it.
The year that we took out top four of the five best stadiums.
And speaking of the Olympics,
Kim Kardashian's
brand, her company called Skims,
which is,
it's designed, they sell
sort of undergarments and, you know, spanks
and sports bras and things like that.
It's what gives me the figure that
you're all so jealous of around the office.
100%. So the Skims company will be dressing Team USA at the Olympics.
So that's Kim Kardashian will be dressing Team USA at the Olympics.
It's not for their sports gear wear, though.
It is for their undergarments, pyjamas, and lounge wear.
So I guess the things that they sort of want to relax in after or before their events. Now I've just googled skims and they do have a gentleman's full body compression
option here and if I could just take a look at this picture here it's almost
like a skin colored weightlifting suit. Oh it is too! With a little singlet with the
longer sort of bike pants attached. Yeah! A one thing, though, right? And with a sort of a compression pouch of sorts
for what needs to be compressed there.
You want everything compressed.
You want it all in there nice and tight.
So, well, that's what they'll all be sleeping in.
Good deal for her, though.
Yeah, very cool.
And they've all been branded, you know, Team USA.
And they do look very cool.
So it's really good, actually, to see, you know,
you'd think that the Kardashians would just, you know,
make something and just make a little bit of money and it's probably not very
good quality,
but this is probably actually very good quality if they're dressing the
Olympians in it.
So.
With $500 million,
that skims company to Kim Kardashian.
Wowza.
Wowza.
Well done,
Kim.
When will you be worth $500 million to us,
Juliet?
Oh,
I don't know.
We've invested a lot of time and resource into you.
Let's hope soon.
And then a spy for more,
you can head to the hits.co.nz.
New Zealand's breakfast.
This is Jono and Ben on The Hits.
Kia ora, good morning.
It is The Hits.
Jono and Ben just gone 8 o'clock.
Today's the day we'll find out if the extensions in Wellington will continue
and if the bubble will open back up with Australia,
all those decisions to be made today.
Yeah, New South Wales, I think 20-odd new cases.
Yesterday there was a press conference on the news,
which I got most, a lot of joy out of.
They had Gladys, who's the Premier of New South Wales,
she was in front of the media, she had some stuff to say.
Now whilst the numbers today are less than the numbers yesterday,
we have to be prepared for the numbers to bounce around
and we also have to be prepared for the numbers to bounce around and we also have to be
prepared for the numbers to go up considerably. Then they wheeled out the epidemiologist and she
had this to say. Let's start wearing these masks. This is absolutely vital. The next 24 to 48 hours
are going to be very crucial in Queensland. Then the cop, the senior sergeant comes out he's like this is my time to shine
unbelievably we saw two men
sunbaking naked on a beach on the south coast
I was startled by a deer
ran into the national forest, national park and got lost
it has nothing to do
it reminds me of when you turn up to school
and you forgot to write your speech.
And they looked over and they're like, Senior Sergeant, you got all the information?
He's like, yeah.
This is the naked sunbathe of this press conference, isn't it?
Well, I'll give them an update.
He definitely missed the memo on that one.
So good.
Hey, Nick.
Take to talk words and stuff into a microphone.
It's New Zealand's breakfast.
Jono and Ben on the hits.
There's no worse moment in a human's life than when they knock something over
in front of a crowd of other humans.
Isn't that the worst?
Like in the Tour de France with the sign?
Oh, yeah.
This happened to me yesterday,
except instead of a peloton load of cyclists collapsing,
it was fish fingers at the supermarket.
Very similar.
Very similar.
Yeah, totally.
How did the fish finger thing work?
They're in deep freezers, aren't they?
Yeah, so I was at the supermarket, the deep freezer, and then I pulled a packet of fish
fingers out of the deep freezer.
Oh, so this is one like a sort of cupboard-y sort of one.
Open door sit show.
Yeah, gotcha.
And then I grabbed one and for whatever reason uh dislodged an entire shelves load of fish
fingers that all came collapsing on the ground and then you look around and for a brief moment you go
could i just walk away you know that runs through your mind i'm gonna be honest about this but then
you know the better part of me says no that's the wrong thing to do you're gonna have to
degradingly pick these things up but some had even come out like of the packet so there were
fish fingers on the floor so i was like some sort of male entertainer at a hen's do getting paid in
fish fingers but picking up my cash at the end of the night so i put them all back uh you know
the ones that fell on the floor i took those with me. I fed them to the kids last night.
Poor fish fingers.
Don't let those go to waste.
But as I was putting them back,
then my head knocked the shelf below of the Hokie fillets.
And then the Hokie fillets came out.
Oh, my gosh.
And I'm like, who designed this shelf?
You're right.
There's nothing you can do, really.
It's like when you fell down two loads of stairs in front of a grandstand load of people, didn't you?
That's right, yeah.
It was packed Warriors at a Warriors game, and we walked up.
For some reason, we walked up.
We were a bit late to get our seats, and we thought we were at the top of the stand.
So we walked all the way up to the top, realised that wasn't our seats.
And as we went to walk down, it was a little slippery.
And I was carrying drinks and hot dogs.
And I fell comically down all the stairs, got to to a middle part a man in my office said are you
right i said yeah all good just keep walking and i stepped on the next bit and then fell
just keep walking just keep walking just keep walking yeah miraculously i didn't like i wore
a lot of the drinks you keep saying just keep walking but you're doing a bad job of walking
no i couldn't keep walking she's like yeah, but you're doing a bad job of walking. No, I couldn't keep walking.
She's like, yeah, I am.
You're the one stuffing up the walking bunny.
No one else is struggling with that
but me. But you keep
barking orders
at people to keep walking. How about you just
try and stay on your feet for once?
It was comically bad.
I know what you think. It's like you. It's comically bad
because you knock the thing over.
You're like, oh, couldn't get it worse.
And then you get all red and flustered.
And everyone's looking.
Because everyone's trying not to look, but they are looking.
Oh, yeah.
I could tell.
I could tell.
And it was almost like the ocean.
It was the ocean paying me back for all of those single-use plastic bags I've chucked
in there over the years.
It's like, we'll get some revenge on you, buddy, with these fish fingers.
Welcome to the Space Jams.
Space Jams and a new legacy.
Ten shots at 10K with Jono and Ben.
Yes, don't miss the slam dunk movie of the year.
I'm very excited about this.
NBA champion, sports legend LeBron James teams up with the Looney Tunes.
It's in cinemas July 8.
And we've got someone's chance to win $10,000.
Yeah, you're going to have ten shots at $10,000 on the basketball court.
So it's basically $1,000 per ball
that you get in.
So it's 10 shots to win $10,000
or 10 opportunities to disappoint your family
if you don't get any of the shots in.
You can register at the hits.co.nz
and each day we'll be calling a pair of...
We're going to make you...
No, because it's $10,000,
so I'm going to make you work for it.
Yeah.
We want to put the dad in your life in a bit of a jam, in a bit going to make you, because it's 10 grand, so I'm going to make you work for it. We want to put the dad in your life
in a bit of a jam, in a bit of a space
jam, basically, by asking them questions
that they should know about their family, important
dates, that sort of thing. You can see how we settled
on that in the brainstorming room.
It's loud and clear. Yeah, we're like, dad's
in a jam in the movie LeBron James, he's in a jam
because he's a dad. Is that tenuous enough?
Yeah, that'll do.
So next, 0800 the hits if you want to have a go at this as well.
We're going to phone your dad, ask him some important dates that he should know
about the family, about his relationships, about birthdays.
If he makes it through, we'll put him in the draw for the 10 shots of 10K.
But regardless, you get a family pass to Space Jam.
You can register at the hits.co.nz if you want you and your family to play.
It's all thanks to Space Jam, a new legacy in cinemas, July 8th.

You can register at thehits.co.nz.
I've just been watching.
My son is obsessed with basketball.
I've been watching a lot of the NBA conference finals,
and you probably noticed this too, Ben, because you watch it quite a bit.
Shaquille O'Neal, former basketball player who's turned commentator now.
A legendary basketballer, yeah.
He has a voice so deep,
it sounds like his voice box is the voice of 13 grown men.
Have a listen.
The key is Trey, the key is John,
the key is Herter.
They play together, they have better shooters.
If they play with great energy,
they can make a good voice.
That's a good voice, isn't it?
That's a deep voice.
That voice could induce labour.
It's so deep.
But anyway, we'll get our dear friend from Hawke's Bay on the phone.
Jordan, how's Napier?
How are you?
I'm good, thank you.
And yourself?
Is Napier cold at the moment?
It is.
And quite windy.
Yeah.
I love Napier.
We've been to Napier a couple of times, haven't we, Ben, boys?
We have.
We were meant to go to Art Deco, but they canned it, remember?
That's right.
Because of COVID. I hope we get to go to Art Deco, but they canned it, remember? That's right. COVID.
I hope we get to go again because Boss Todd,
he made Juliet make costumes
for some reason.
Yes.
And we had to wear those
for three weeks
just to get use out of them
and people were looking
at us strangely.
Okay, Jordan,
we're going to hopefully,
hopefully get your father
on the phone.
What's his name?
Clement.
Clement.
And we're going to put Clement
in a bit of a jam.
You see what we've done there?
We want to ask him some questions that he probably
should know about you and the family.
Let's go.
What's your birthday, Jordan?
The 4th of December, 2003.
4th of December.
4th of December, sorry.
2003. Oh my god, we've met
someone younger than Juliet.
You're making her feel like an old lady now.
Let's go.
Is he married?
Yes, he is.
What's their wedding anniversary?
18th of November.
18th of November wedding anniversary.
Let's go.
What's your best friend's name?
Atisha.
Atisha.
Atisha's your best friend's name.
Okay.
Now, this is all stuff that Clemens should know.
And there's nothing better than a stressed out dad in a jam trying to remember dates.
It brings us a lot of joy.
Okay, so we're going to go through to him now.
Regardless, you've got a family pass to Space Jam.
Okay, and depending on how this goes, your dad might be going on his own.
Hello. Hello?
