Kia ora, welcome. This is the John O'Bien podcast. Thank you very much to Dilma. Making the world a better tea. I was on the podcast today, I was going to say. Is that what you were going to say? I was going to say, I was going to finish the script. Oh, sorry. Sorry. Here you go then. Do try it.

Oh, thank you. We don't say those three words, we don't get paid. Yeah, and then I was going to say, off the back of what you were going to say, that it's on the podcast today, how how to make the speaking of a bit of tea um how to make the perfect cup of tea yeah we've got dilhan and armor at his son in the studio wonderful combination weren't they vibrant and we uh we actually filmed a sketch with dilhan uh a little yeah a little show so dilhan's the big the big boss at dilma and it was called spilling the tea yeah but then the comedic angle was called Spilling the Tea. Yeah.

But then the comedic angle was we kept knocking over cups of tea. Which is actually a lot harder to do when you need to make it look like it's a mistake. And a lot messier in reality from when you're conceptualising the idea. Tea everywhere, chords, power chords in the studio. I was like, oh, bad choice. They'll be out later in the week uh so yeah dropping soon dropping soon mate spilling the tea with dilhan yeah oh no it's fun pilot episode which we hope will be something that'll be picked up worldwide just you know like

like judge judy or something yeah yeah just like judge judy okay i'm gonna get now judge judy uh I only know about Judge Judy Because my wife Jen Is obsessed She's got bloody Judge Judy Backed up for years On the MySky I think Judge Judy

Stopped filming Right Or Sky have stopped Purchasing Judge Judy Right gotcha How many countries Play Judge She's the highest paid

TV presenter in the world Yeah Play Judge Judy Have a guess How many countries You think Have a guess 31 countries How many countries do you think? Have a guess.

31 countries. How many? Hold on there. How many countries play Judge Judy? That's what I said. I said 31. I'm trying to hold a conversation in Google. Yeah. I'm also Googling the top 20 highest paid TV hosts in the world.

All right, so now the show's ended now. 25th season. Judy might have gone down a little bit, but she's still in the mix. No, I don't know. Judy's number three, too, if you're wondering. Is she not even number one? She's not. Oprah, then Ellen, then Judy.

Oh, yeah, yeah. Then Dr. Phil, then Letterman, Leno. This is top 20. Is this across their careers? I'll look at another one as well. So it's all about how many territories you're syndicated in because you must get a slice of each pie. She got $440 million a year, Judge Judy.

Wow. $400 million. And apparently when she negotiated she went out for lunch with the big bosses of the TV station and they see what do you want she wrote on a napkin she's like there's no negotiation that's what I want she wrote 440 million on a napkin most expensive napkin you'll ever see yeah well you can't do judge Judy without Judy Kenya you know I sent through this that this the we have a WhatsApp group for the show,

and I sent through this last night, and I was like, oh, this could be for Monday Motivation. But in hindsight, I was probably like, it's probably not Monday Motivation, but it is a cool story, speaking of meetings and stuff that people do. Adam Sandler, when he was first, you know, he was thinking he was in high school. I might have been, no, sorry, he was university, wanting to be an actor or whatever, and his drama teacher was like, hey hey we should go out for a beer and let's go out for a beer and he's like okay cool went up with the guy got him a beer went out and he said hey look i know you want to

be an actor but i just don't think it's for you this is what his drama said you know and with it what is sympathy beer yeah so they went out for a beer drama teacher got him a beer said it wasn't for him and then many many years later Adam Sandler and a group of friends ran into the same drama teacher. This is Brad Pitt was telling this story in front of Adam Sandler. And Adam Sandler just went, yeah, yeah, that's what happened. I don't know why you didn't get Adam Sandler to tell the story, but Brad Pitt recounted the story.

Probably because it was a bit arrogant for Sandler to tell it. He's like, hey, I'll give you this gear. You tell the story so it doesn't look like I care. So many years later, this was at the height. I mean, Adam Sandler's still making great movies to today, still making huge movies today. But this was at probably the height of Happy Gilmore, all those sort of movies as well.

We saw this guy, and he could have taken the opportunity to go, hey, mate, how you like me now sort of thing. But he just went to his friends. He goes, hey, this is my drama teacher. He was the first teacher to buy me a beer. How cool is this guy? And I was like, you know, he had an opportunity to run. The guy would have been like, oh.

He would have been sweating bullets. He would have been sweating bullets. He's like, don't tell them what the beer was for. Yeah, the beer that I got you. Yeah, buddy, I know. I know. But I thought it was lovely that he didn't actually bring up the fact that, you know, he could have.

He could have. You know, he could have said. But also weird, too, that a teacher's buying a student a beer. Well, I think they were university. Is that pushing boundaries? I don't think it was. Yeah, no, I don't think it was. It didn't seem dodgy.

It didn't seem like the dodgy part. Am I just making it sound dodgy? I think it was like a university type thing. So it was OK. Yeah, that was all OK. It's a really good story. And Adam Sandler, I feel, is a true gentleman. Because there was another story

Where he was just Him and his daughter Were trying to go to Denny's Or something It was I think it was The old IHOP Or Denny's

Oh yeah Some restaurant And the waitress Didn't recognise Adam Sandler And was like Sorry we're busy We're full He was like

Oh no that's fine And he walked away Didn't make a fuss Didn't say I'm Adam's Let me into Denny's. I'm Adam Sandler. And then they looked back on the security footage and they're like, dear God, you just

turned away, Adam Sandler. And they said, welcome back, come back. And he took it. It was all fine. I think it was. And that's probably because he's kind of like your every person, isn't he? Yeah. You'd walk past him in the street and you wouldn't know.

You're like, wears sort of the same clothes he's been wearing for decades. He's kind of, yeah, you're right. He doesn't dress like the typical celebrity. Yeah. That was pretty cool. I mean, to be fair to the drama teacher, he said, drama acting's not for you. He probably went down a more comedic route. Yeah.

Well, at the start, definitely. Now he's, you know. He's dipping his toes. Now he's really shoving it to that drama teacher. Dramatic roles, but you're right. Yeah, so. Oh, well, that's good. That's good.

I don't think I'd have the same decorum if I was in Adam Sandler's position. If I ran into an old teacher who said, you'll never make it. And there was a lot of them. You'll never make it in radio prior. And you're like. They were right. They were right. You made it in radio?

No, it's been fun. Did you have, just tell me about your radio school. Because radio school is such a funny melting pot of, you've got people who are dead keen to be in the industry. You've got weird 45 to 55 year old students who are like, I'm going to give this a crack. Yeah, well, why not?

Yeah. And then you've got people who are just being made to do something because their parents are like, get out there and do something. Those are the three personality types of radio school. Yeah, because your school you went to was more was it more in line with trying to be announcers it was just it was radio across because ours were where people wanted to be producers sales you know things like that as well so there was like the the writers

things like that yeah to be mine mine was just a flash in the pan six months spray it all on us here's a little bit of everything get out there try your best yeah or yeah six months grueling grueling six months but in some ways you know because technology you know i learned a lot of stuff and i really loved a broadcasting school but i learned a stuff a lot of stuff was like we're we're not using carts in the industry all this sort of redundant technology that because things just move so fast in the industry by the time you'd gone through your degree, you're like, oh, that stuff's not getting used anymore.

Yeah. So that, you know, so maybe in your six months there was something there. It was a really enjoyable time. I'm sure you had a good time. Yeah. You had to do sales and you said you were the worst salesperson. Yeah, that's the only thing I failed at the broadcasting school

and I had to write a thing to say, please let me carry on for my thing. But, and what i'd learnt it was like a thesis on what i'd learnt throughout the sales process and it was the learning of the fact you know like i tried i had so many meetings with people and then they go we're going out well okay because you learned the trick so pretend i'm a owner of a flower shop and you're coming in you want me to buy some advertising well yeah because this is one of the tricks that one of the the guys one of the techniques one of the guys who was like it's the trout on the wall that's what he said he says you look around the office and you look at something and if the person say got a trout on the wall you'd be like ah you like trout fishing

and then they go yeah i do and they're like oh great because i've trapped and you form some sort of bond and i tried the trout on the wall with a guy who was kind of a surly Canterbury sort of, I think he owned a cosy club or something like that, because we were like, let's get the cosy clubs. Didn't get a single sale. Mind you, now, we must also say this is, you're wanting them to buy advertising on a station no one listens to. For six weeks, it's around then gone.

So I was like, if I was in the same position, I'm like, I wouldn't be buying advertising. Anyway, I probably went in with that attitude going, I don't even believe in this. But I went in there and I saw a picture. He had a photo of him. I think he was like a rugby coach. I was like, oh, hey, you like rugby?

He's like, yep. I had no more follow-up questions. I was like, I like rugby. He's like, oh, good. And that was it. And I was like, oh, great trout on the wall moment. We had nine free photos. I was like, I like rugby he's like oh good and that was it and I was like oh great trout on the wall moment I was like I like rugby he's like oh good and that was it and I didn't have any more follow-up questions so the trout on the wall moment didn't work for me but I still remember it

not factoring in the hearty Cantabrian personality yep the trout on the wall theory yeah so that's something you can do if you're a salesperson maybe you could try the trout on the wall theory. So that's something you can do. If you're a salesperson, maybe you could try the trout on the wall. I guess it kind of works in a way, finding something that you can have a conversation of, trying to feel like you're... Okay, so okay,

if I come into you, I'm looking around, I see your computer, oh, you like pornography. No, I wouldn't. Well, then why have you got that video on your screen? Am I meant to see it?

You're meant to see that. Oh, by the way, would you like to buy some radio advertising? I was trying to close that down while you walked in the that. Oh, by the way, would you like to buy some radio advertising? I was trying to close that down while you walked in the room. No one has to know about this. No one has to know about this. You'll buy a lot of advertising.

There we go. Sale. Shake hands. All right, enjoy the podcast. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Guys, Friday night, I had a – we had a bit of an incident at home. Like, woke up about 1 o'clock in the night,

and there'd been some sort of bad weather has gone to bed. And you know when you wake up and you're like, oh, it's a bit of noise, a bit of rattling going on. It sounds like somebody's on the roof. And then I was like, well, maybe it's the bad weather. And then as you start, you're trying to wake up, you're sort of coming to, you know, you're like, ah, I'm pretty sure there's someone on the roof.

It's not the bloody fiddler again. Well, yeah. And so I was like, well, yeah. I was like, I'm pretty sure there's someone on the roof. It's not the bloody fiddler again. Well, yeah. And so I was like, well, yeah. I was like, I don't know what's going on. So I was like, I think someone's walking across the roof. So I woke up and manned to my wife. I was like, I think someone's on the roof. And she's kind of like, you know, everyone's in a bit of a like,

what's one o'clock in the morning? Have I made the right decision? I was like, I'll get the dog because our dog Bo loves barking. You know, like someone comes over, he's barking, barking. I'm like, mate, mate mate here's your chance get outside this is where you can strike the dog's a bit bamboozled

by me waking him up in the middle of the night someone's on the roof dog he's like I'm a dog I can't understand what you're saying yeah well he went out went for a wee

and he was like I guess this is what you want me to do come back inside I'm like no mate go outside there's someone I'm sure there's someone

on the roof and Emily and my wife so much more braver than me she went out there as well she's checking it out as well so I might need to's someone on the roof. And Emily, my wife, so much more braver than me, she went out there as well. She's checking it out as well. Someone had to stay back with the kids. And it was cop cars. That was you.

I'll stay here. I've got the kids. Cop cars in the neighbourhood circling around. Yes, someone had been on the roof. They'd been on the neighbour's roof, running across the roof to our roof as well. And there's cop cars in the neighbourhood looking for someone who'd obviously done a runner

from the cops had stolen the car. I was like, Jesus. And so were they on your roof? Yeah, they were on the roof. So did they catch them? No, they didn't catch, I don't know if they caught them afterwards, but they'd run across from the neighbours, across our roof, and then as part of their getaway, sort of, yeah.

So by the time the dog and everyone was outside, they'd obviously got off the roof and run away. Either that or it was Santa getting in early before Christmas. And when you hear stories like that, you know, Santa's work is remarkable. Yeah. He's got very light feet. Very light feet. We don't hear him.

He slides down that chimney. Yeah, but it's very surreal, very scary. I've obviously told the kids because you don't want to freak them out, but that's a really very unusual situation. Frightening to wake up to, isn't it? I had a similar situation a few years ago where we were dead asleep and I could hear someone rattling, trying to put keys into the front door, you know? I was like, oh, oh God, there's someone at the front door.

And sprung into action. But then you spring into action with your scary voice. And because someone's there, there's a shadow at the door and they're trying to put keys in the door. And you're like, who's there? Yeah, you put all that, yeah. You and sound yeah five foot taller than you actually are and there's this lady she's like i'm getting i'm being chased i'm being chased there's people across the road trying to chase me and i looked through the curtain there was no one across the

road and she and i was like whose keys are those's like, you left the keys on the ground. And me, the idiot, of all nights, I'd slipped into autopilot when I got home, left the keys on the ground, convenient for people. On the ground too, not even in the door. You're like, here you go. What a schmuck. And she's like, by the way, me kids love your show. Oh, God, Jesus.

It's always nice to meet a fan, go out there and get some selfies. Oh, come on in, mate. Oh, God. Jesus. It's always nice to meet a fan. Go out there and get some selfies. Oh, come on in, mate. Let's have a photo. I'll sign something for you. What do you want? Some tickets to the show, mate? We can give it to you all.

Anyway, long story short, police were called. It was nice to meet a fan. It's always nice to meet a fan. Jeez. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Cool news out of Wellington. A spider monkey, a baby spider monkey has just been born over the weekend, which apparently is very, very rare.

They've been trying to get these spider monkeys to, you know, have babies for a while now. How do you make spider monkeys have a crack with each other? I don't know. Do they set some sort of romantic music or something like that and get them in the mood? We've got to come at you like a spider monkey. That's all I think of when you say spider monkey,

that movie Talladega Nights. Oh, yeah. But after multiple breeding attempts, the zoo was successful and they're really stoked to have that. It's quite a big thing. It's very rare to happen in the world for this to be born like this. So it's good to keep that going. Well, that's great.

And I'm sure the spider monkey parents will be glad to know that we're all talking about their lovemaking. Do you know the zoo that we go to here, they've got all the monkeys and gorillas and things just hanging on ropes above you. Yeah. Just on like giant sort of power pole sort of things. And they've got ropes connecting from one to the other.

It's pretty cool, actually. And they kind of just swing like over you and you're just standing directly underneath. And I'm like, this could go wrong. Well, yeah. I do remember as a kid um going to wellington zoom dad and my sister said dad's like take a photo we'll take a photo go up to against the you know cage and we'll take a photo of the monkeys behind you because the monkey was quite close and then he sort of just stood up and i remember he peed on the back of my neck which would have been great if dad got a video but at

the time it probably wasn't on great on on the instagram nowadays yeah i know i would have been great if dad got a video but at the time it probably wasn't gone great on on the instagram nowadays i know i would have i would have been a meme monkey p kid or something like that but but at that stage it was just really inconvenient for the rest of the day we had a great history with zoos in new zealand around uh around a park was it was that the one you could drive through in christchurch and they had all the tigers the lion sorry that word you better drive into that you'd be able to drive into. So you could take your own car into the enclosure. Then we can't be trusted with this. This is too much responsibility to trust your average manta with.

And then the lions and tigers and stuff, because the bonnets were worn from the engines, would just come and sit on your own car. But then mantas would get out of their car. People getting out and petting, you know, tugging the tails of the lions and we're like okay guys, that felt pretty wild back then. That was the 90s.

That was a different time with health and safety. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. New supporters of the show, which great to have them all on board is Dilmar Tea, making the world a better cup of tea as well. We've got Dilmar dates coming up just before 7 o'clock so if you've got something you want to celebrate, a birthday,

an anniversary, give us a text right now on 4487. But joining us in the studio, it's great to have them here. From Dilmar, it's Dilhan and Amrit. Good morning, great to have you. Thrilled to be here. Oh, it's great to have you here. And thanks for supporting the show too, which is awesome. So it's great to have you on board.

You challenged us to be trying Dilmar tea in the mornings. And hey, we're not just saying that because you're here we have been enjoying it every morning so thank you i can see the mugs with your name on now remember if you guys ever put the other stuff the dark stuff in there you'd be in trouble i was gonna say is is the the c word dare i say coffee is that like a is that like a bad word to use around you guys it's a really bad bad word yeah up until, we had another bad C word, but now coffee. The worst C word we could ever say on the radio. Now, you guys are father-son combo going on here. Absolutely.

I used to come into this studio with my father for quite a few years. Wow. And now I'm thrilled to come in here with my son. We've been learning a lot about Dilma. Actually, fascinating, the origins of it. But for people that haven't heard about it, can you explain a little bit about the history? Well, it's a long history, but I'll try to do it very quickly. So my father...

We've got three hours. Take it slow. We've got time to fill, baby. So my father, Dilma founder, Muriel J. Fernando, from an ordinary rural Sri Lankan family, he had a pretty big dream, which at the time, you know, we were colonized and it was a post-colonial economy. So Sri Lankans weren't allowed to do much in tea. You wouldn't believe it, but they said we ate too much curry so we couldn't taste the tea. Too much spice, you're not able to taste tea and we'll do the tasting for you.

Classic colonialism, eh? At its finest. Oh, jeez. But he broke through and went across to England, learnt the ropes, came back, perfected it. And the next thing you know, 1991, you see Dilma tea showing up in New Zealand. And he simply said in 1994, do try it, guys.

And you did. Brings us here. How many cups of tea on average would you have in a day? 12 to 13. The guys in Egypt, you wouldn't believe it. I was in Upper Egypt. And, you know, I'm telling them, you know, this is how much tea I drink. They say, it's nothing.

They do 20 cups of tea a day. Can you believe it? Jeez, they must be leaky. Leakier than the River Nile. Healthy, healthy. Healthier as well. Okay, the perfect cup of tea, because I was surprised in the meeting. I make a cup of tea.

My wife and I, every night, we'd have a cup of tea before bed. But I've been doing it wrong. I'm not leaving the teabag in for long enough. So can you explain just quickly, people listening, how they make a good cup of tea? Well, to brew tea, you need to extract the goodness and the taste, which means you've got to leave the teabag in. So if it's teabags, one teabag, make sure you've got the right amount of this good kiwi water that you have.

So boil it once, not twice. Make sure it's just once because it has oxygen, carbon dioxide. Yeah, so you'd like fresh water to boil. Straight off the tap, off the cold tap. Pour it onto the teabag. Make sure you stir because the tea has to come into straight off the tap of the cold tap pour it onto the tea bag make sure you stir because the tea has to come into contact with the water and that's how the extraction happens make sure you stir every minute or so so that you have proper diffusion so could you taste it if they say john i just put the tea bag in for like 10 15 seconds and made you a cup of tea you'd

know oh absolutely would you spit it back in my face? What is this? He'd probably do it because it's made on good relationships. Yeah, yeah. I wouldn't be rude. We do hear stories that have come through on this very radio show of people reusing the same teabag. Oh, my God. I know this is not good for you.

You've got your head in your hair. You're not happy. But sometimes up to three or four times. Over. I've had a hard morning. You have to make your new cup of tea. People are doing it. They're out there doing it.

Got Dilhan and Amrit with us from Dilma. Now, Amrit, you're all over the talk. TikTok. Don't try and sound cool like that. Did that sound cool, Dilhan? Yeah. Now, Dilhan, your dad's like, he's bloody TikTok-ing me every 10 minutes. He's filming you without knowing.

You end up on social media. He filmed you the other day when you were trying to have a meeting, Dilhan. Is TikTok becoming the band of your life with your son filming you all the time? I don't know about the band, but it's bloody annoying. I can tell you that. It's getting some young people into tea, though. That is right. Yeah.

So what I've learned from my father is that it's vast. There's so much to do with tea. So what I'm trying to do is show a bit of the behind the behind the scenes of course with the but she did love she did but you know also i like to uh take it into a way that you can put in mixology you can make a chai out of it you've had cocktails yeah geez how's this going to have the family right and i put the entire bottle of vodka into a vessel and I did a cold brew with blueberry tea and it was stunning.

Yeah, well, I watched that TikTok. It happened to be a bottle of vodka that I had specially imported from Poland. It's my favorite and it's very rare. It's a whole bottle. I really, I did get in trouble though. That's great. You can bring it through to the new generation as well,

which is awesome. Thank you so much for everything you're doing for us and coming on board for the show. It's great to have you it through to the new generation as well, which is awesome. Thank you so much for everything you're doing for us and coming on board for the show. It's great to have you here. Great to meet you. And we'll continue to enjoy our tea. And Dilmar. Do try it.

Do try it. Here we go. And remember, if you've got a date, thanks to Dilmar, we could be giving you $100 in a Dilmar tea prize pack if you're celebrating a special date today, birthday, anniversary, whatever it is, we'll give a shout out before 7 o'clock. Just text us 4487 on the hits. The hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.

It's just another motivational Monday. Put some pep in your step on a Monday morning. We like to inspire the masses, don't we, at the start line of the week. And a great little story here. This little tear-jerker Ben Boyce. I don't know if he'll jerk any tears, but it might warm your heart. Little baby turtle. Swam.

Baby turtle, Ben. Swam from USA to Ireland. Oh, that's a big swim. Took a bloody wrong turn on the water motorway there. How do we know? Well, I knew you were going to ask this question. Yeah. How come we just don't know it was an Irish turtle that was sort of

just sort of around and... Floating you're dead right. But loggerhead turtles, they hatch in the southeast in US. Sort of Florida, around that area. And then they swim out, but this one got caught up in the Gulf Stream

boom next thing you know you're in Ireland for St Patrick's Day it's like Nemo don't they get caught in the East Australian current I think we've just written the plot line for the next Disney Pixar film haven't we but you know that's that's pretty good but don't use that as inspiration don't like hop in the water and think you're going to

make it to Australia no that's just shows you shows that you can just keep fighting and on, even though that's not where you're meant to end up. You'll end up somewhere pretty amazing. A little baby turtle. The baby turtle's unconscious on the beach. They revived it back to life. And also for Motivational Monday,

have a listen to this lady and her message about what people think about you. You have to learn one thing in life. You cannot love everybody and appreciate everybody, and it goes both ways. If you don't learn that now, you're going to always be the fool of somebody.

Live your life to the full. Everything you do, as long as you don't hurt anybody, and you're happy doing what you do, let them talk. Here you go. You can't love and appreciate everybody. And no one's going to love it. You know, not everyone's going to love and appreciate you. That's true.

She's just described every radio announcer ever. All we want is love and appreciation for everybody. Not everyone's going to like you. And as soon as you come to terms with that, just live your life the way you do. Be happy. Don't hurt people. And some people will still hate you for it.

That's the message I'm taking away The hits The Jono and Ben podcast It's a big weekend Warriors It's a great one For the Warriors Who did they play?

Over the weekend They played North Queensland Cowboys A great game Don't Don't No one say No one say

You know Let's just take it Great Great performance No one say It's our year Okay No one say Oh right Well that jinx it I feel like it I feel like one say it's our year okay oh right

well that jinx it I feel like it I feel like it but it was probably one of the best performances from the Warriors in many years how did you go

you had three days of non-state you do cricket commentary on the side as a side hustle yeah three days in a row three days in a row

and not the fun type of cricket either test match cricket test match cricket the long boring the game's still going still going two more days to go and not the fun type of cricket either. Test match cricket. Test match cricket. The long, boring... The game's still going. Still going, mate. Two more days to go.

I'm done. What do you talk about all day? Well, to be fair on the alternate commentary collection, it is a lot of fun. You can catch it on Spark Sport. I mean, the cricket, you come back to the cricket, but there's a lot of times you're veering off into conversations. Some we wouldn't have on this radio show.

I know. I understand. I haven't heard it, but I hear some very spicy content, and I was always wondering how my friend, my dear friend, clean cut, broad appeal Ben Boyce goes in those conversations. What I have enjoyed over the weekend too was sometimes the conversations, and it's told in ways that sometimes lay as levels, but what I have enjoyed over the weekend

when something's going on is just taking a pause and then go, Sri Lanka, 34 for two. You know, just bring it back to the cricket. I find those are nice little comedic moments at the end of something totally inappropriate. Is that how you bring it back to it? Bring it back to the cricket, you know. And he's better ball today.

Are you trying to change the course of the conversation there? No, just to kind of add some pockets of comedy and amongst some other stories. But a lot of joy happened over the weekend as well. Raising money for those affected by Cyclone Gabriel. Raised over 11 million, 11.7 million they raised. 15 million was won by someone in Canterbury. Which is pretty awesome.

Congratulations. And all for a great cause as well. That's a huge amount of money. So you'd imagine for the Red Cross or the Cyclone Relief, that'd be upwards of $30 million? Yeah. Wouldn't you think? I'd say so, across the various...

Listen, I'm just plucking a figure out of the thin air here. You're probably right. Across what the New Zealand Herald raised and part of what we were part of with the radio stations as well. That was huge. It was many, many millions. Well, that's good. That money's going to be put to very good use

because the news cycle, we've said it before, it moves on. It does. People in the Hawke's Bay and Gisborne, they're still living the nightmare at the moment. So we can't forget about them. Exactly. So yeah, awesome that people grabbed lotto tickets and supported people in the Hawke's Bay over the weekend

and those around in Gisborne as well and all those affected by Cyclone Gabriel. Next week, it'd be lovely if Chris Hipkins announced a lotto draw for me. You know? All proceeds going to me. Wouldn't that be nice? Everyone, we have a draw to go, okay, this week all the proceeds are going to this New Zealander

and we all just raise money for just some rando. Let's do that. Oh, that would be nice, eh? The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Jono and Ben, celebrate your special date with Dilma. And it's the 20th of March, and if you're celebrating a special date today, you're celebrating along with Big Bird.

I'd be like sitting behind producer joel uh and i've just done i've gone through a list here of uh my most controversial sesame street characters just list them off big bird probably the most uh accessible character isn't he oh

lovely yeah uh are these actual characters he made some of these up no these are actual characters snuffleupagus right yep very congested suffering Yeah, well, Big Bird was the only one from memory that could see Snuffleupagus too. Yeah, he got cancelled, Snuffleupagus. Really? Because there was some sort of concern that, because Big Bird didn't want to share that he had Snuffleupagus in his head

and they were worried that this might portray the message to children that if anything was going on in their life, that they wouldn't be able to share, that they should be able to share. Cancel everything nowadays, can't you mate? You'd be cancelled for making that statement. Elmo. Cancel Elmo. Cancel Elmo. Cute, cuddly,

he always wants to be tickled. Imagine if he wandered around the office here. Tickle me, tickle me. HR nightmare. Cookie monster. Cookie. For a guy who loves cookies, a lot of wastage. Never eating. Yeah, I always loved it. But you're right.

Slow down. Get it all in your mouth. That grumpy son of a gun, Oscar the Grouch. Yeah. He gets a lot of screen time. But the poor guy's been banished to a rubbish bin for 24 years. Dumpster diving all day long. So no wonder he's grumpy.

And the count. The count. What's wrong with him? What's he been with the count? Every time he counts, he's grumpy. And the count. The count. What's wrong with him? What's he been with the count? Every time he counts, he finds it hilarious. It's not as funny as when you first started counting. Okay, you can just get the numbers out of the way. Well, happy birthday close to the home.

Please forgive me, it's Monday morning Kylie. Take his licence off him mate, get it off him.

Hey, I'm going to tell you how I extorted a lot of money from strangers yesterday. Free cash, and you can do the

same. We'll tell you shortly. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Beautiful as world. Oral health day today, March 20th every day this year. Uniting the world to reduce the burden of oral diseases which affect individuals, health systems and economies.

We have a day for everything and I mean this is an important day. I guess it's important. You've got wonderful oral hygiene, Ben. I try to keep up with it. One of the cleanest mouths in radio Every day's an oral health day For me mate Yeah

You can kiss that mouth Yeah And some people do Don't they Oh yeah But you know You do always floss And always brushing your teeth

In the car Yeah I do Yeah Odd locations you brush your teeth What's the strangest place You've ended up brushing your fangs Oh the cars are weird The car you get second

You know Some people sometimes Giving you a second glance Sometimes when i'm driving with you i'm like oh is he flossing he's flossing my teeth yeah he's brushing his teeth but you don't put toothpaste on the toothbrush i know oh sometimes but yeah sometimes i do sometimes i don't but not with you're not in a car situation because then i've got a good frothy mouth you know that's a bit weird you're like you're traveling some of the rabies or something. You're just wanting to get rid of the excess debris on the surface. I understand.

Hey, I had a fun day yesterday. Fundraising for the school. Okay. Was it a fun day? No, it was fun. I do have fun. It's an enjoyable day for St Peter's College. Okay.

Now, my role is basically jumping on a microphone and harassing people. I can see why this is a fun day for you. Bullying people. Five hours nonstop bullying people to buy raffle tickets for stuff they're probably not going to win. And it's all just nonstop. It's the quick-fire raffle. Truckload of prizes to give away. Meat packs, meat vouchers.

See why the butcher was so bloody mad? Having all this meat hanging over his head, he's got to get rid of. But eventually we got rid of everyone. We got rid of it all. But it's so easy to whip people up into a frenzy, isn't it? And make them part with their cash. Yeah.

They had a good one too where you could go, you pay five bucks and you can win a hundred. Oh, that got the crowd going. What? So you can be five bucks and you have the chance to win a $100 note. Oh. What do you mean, oh?

When I was barking away on the microphone, you said people went going, oh? They were getting a vote. I go in. It's like the lotto draw of the week. It was just great. But I go in and go, I'm not going to win. I go in with that attitude. I'm just like, here's a $5 donation to the school.

That's what I kind of would see it as. Well, that's what you walk away with. And that's better than the $100, isn't it? Walking away with that in your heart and soul that you've given to a community. But what I did notice when you're standing up there is there's obviously a lot of teenagers wandering around the place. A lot of oversized 90s clothing. Made a wonderful resurgence, hasn't it? It is. You're right.

Yeah, big baggy jeans. We got a baggy jeans guy? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Back in the day. Yeah, it's very in now, isn't it? Right? Yeah, huge jeans.

What are you? Kids just wander around. Teenagers wander around without a care in the world. You know, a lot of people focus in on it's a tough time for the teenagers. It's not. They can sleep in when they want. They can be grumpy when they want. And we just go, it's hormones.

You put up with the grumpiness. They can experiment with fashion. No one's judging. Oh, no, you're right. You came in once. You dyed your hair blonde. I had. And I called you Ellen DeGeneres for 12 months.

The only person named Ellen bullied. But it was bullied. Ellen was doing the bullying, according to the rumours. You know, and all you were doing was just trying something new, and I just ended up mocking you. But as an adult, you know,

especially with mates like you, you don't want to try things. What was the other one I called you, buddy? The old thing from Harry Potter. Oh, Malfoy. Malfoy, that's right. Draco Malfoy. Jeez, we had fun bullying you.

One of us had fun. But if you're a teenager, no one would do that. It's just part of the norm. You're like, oh, it's just his look now. Yeah, you're right. They've got it good, mate. They've got it wonderful. Well, something else that teenagers don't have to deal with is the landline.

Who's still got a landline? My parents, Annie and John Pryor And they refuse to get rid of it I've tried to have an intervention with them And we're going to find out How many people listening right now Still have landlines We're going to do this test after 8

The Hits The Jono and Ben Podcast It's Ding Lewis How do I say goodbye? It is The Hits You got Jono and Ben Back on your Monday morning After over the weekend

Over $11 million was raised By the big lotto draw over the weekend for those affected by Cyclone Gabrielle, which is awesome. Fantastic. Dean Lewis also, he played over the weekend too, didn't he? He did. He was in the country, yeah. Just on his Instagram here, a lot of tiles of people just crying. Because that song's about a loss in the family, yeah.

A lot of emotion coming out of the Dean Lewis show. Now, my appearance, I was just mentioning before, Annie and John Pryor, a loss in the family. Yeah. A lot of emotion coming out of the Dean Lewis show. Now, my parents, I was just mentioning before, Annie and John Pryor, very loyal for some reason, a lot more loyal they are to the landline than they were to me. They've stuck with the landline. We've still got one. Still got one in Christchurch.

Still got the 03 happening there. And I never call them on it. I'm always phoning Annie's cell phone, which she never answers. Then I phone my dad's cell phone, he never answers because he likes to turn it on, make a call, then turn the phone off. Save the battery, yeah.

Just conserve battery life. Well, I get his rationale, but it's frustrating when you're trying to get hold of someone. It is. Tell you what, they don't have to worry about the battery, but life is the landline.

The landline. Which again, they don't answer as well when I call them. really yeah i got rid of mine many many years ago and that frustrated my dad and i was like just call me myself like now he obviously does made the adjustment yeah it wasn't the numbers they were ingrained in your head weren't they your number and also all of the numbers of your friends you have to remember them and if you wouldn't you? And if you wanted to talk to a friend, you had to go through, it was almost like the parent would answer and they'd act like a bouncer at a nightclub.

Yeah. You know, hi, Mrs. Stanley, can I please talk to Todd? Oh, yes, certainly, Jonathan, hold there. And then you'd yell out. And then the conversation would go on, but it would always end in a sibling picking up the other phone. Oh, yeah, my sister was always listening to my things i'd listen to this get off the phone i need to make a call and then you'd be just listening to

bickering on the other end and then they wouldn't hang up the phone and you'd still hear them going i can hear you breathing yeah yeah and uh then there's some game changes at the landline too weren't they three-way calling came into play it all there. So have you still got a landline? Why are you still rocking it? We might dial. Can I try and call my old number here? I've given it to Joel right now. This is the one in the white at upper.

Yeah. When you grew up. Okay, we'll dial through. See if anyone still has that number. I don't know. Oh, it's ringing. Okay. Ben Boyce's.

Yeah. I wonder if they know that it's actually. Probably not. Hello, this is Terry. Oh, hello there. It's John and Ben calling from the Hits radio station G'day, how are ya? How are ya, you mad dog? Mad, crazy

Crazy Do you know this? I think this is my old phone number From when I was growing up in the Wairarapa Do you know Wairarapa's 19th favourite son, Ben Boyce? Oh, I do How long have you had your landline for, Teza? About eight years here.

Old school, yeah. Haven't thought about cutting it. Let me tell you a story. Oh, come on. Is it safe to radio this story before we get into it? Yeah, yeah. Okay, good. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay, good. I have a sister-in-law who lives in Browns Bay in Auckland, right on the waterfront. Yeah. I mean, right on the waterfront. Yeah. I mean, right on the waterfront. Love it. Tropical cyclone, Gabrielle comes through, and she lives with her phone, her mobile phone in her hand. Through all of this, she ran out of power, so she was using her mobile phone exclusively. And she used all that up, so she had no mobile phone at all.

Right. Now, I have a brother who lives in Bangkok, and he sent her an email through and said, why don't you charge your phone up on you in your car? What he didn't say was she had to turn the car on to make that happen. Yeah. Did she just put it in? Yeah, she did.

But the best bit is it was a full EV, so then she couldn't charge her car. Oh, she traded a coupe. The best bit was, they still have a landline that they haven't gotten rid of. And I picked up the phone and dialed straight through to her on the old-fashioned landline. Oh, so the landline. I thought there must have been a moral to the story somewhere. I thought you got lost midway through, but you pulled it back beautifully.

You're right. The landline still works when your phone dies, your cell phone dies. That's right. And that's why Terry will never get rid of his landline. The other thing is if you're an old person and you have one of those St. John emergency alarms, you try using it on a cell phone that's got no power. Oh, that's a good reason. Go, Terry.

Well, we've had stories from Bangkok to Browns Bay with Terry. Love it. Enjoy that number. It treated me well. It's treating you well. You have a great day. Okay. There we go.

Although producer Bee Humps is just messaging us from the next studio. He's like, what if a tree falls on the phone lines? Terry's just told a heartfelt anecdote. Hung up on Terry. On my old number, mate. What if a tree falls down on the... Good point, though. All right, who's still got a landline?

Oh, Andrew, the hits. Give us a call from it. Maybe you can call us from your landline. Oh, Andrew, the hits is a free call. Next, after the killers. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. Big weekend of sport over the weekend.

Warriors played well. A lot of super rugby. Women's and men's over, great competitions going on Great games Canterbury beat Auckland The grudge match North versus South Cricket going on too Don't you forget about the cricket

Well I had Tell you what, the topic is going off Landlines, you're still holding on to one You're clinging on to dear life with the landline? I mentioned before the three-way calling, Annie and John, they treated me as an only child. They're like, God, we've got to give those kids some friends. They got me three-way calling. And then I became known, as I've said it before, the heartbreak kid. And people would phone me up if they suspected of their partner maybe philandering on them cheating on them and then so i would phone up i would say okay you hold there and then i would dial through to the suspect

the suspected adulterer and i'd be like hey how's it going and just sort of lead them down the garden path and we busted a lot of people busted a lot of cheaters it's like to catch a predator except with teenagers who would be kissing other teenagers. So it was nothing like to catch a predator. No, don't lump them into that category, that's for sure. So we want to know, have you still got a landline? Are you still rocking with

the landline, old school? Yeah, no, Miranda, you're going to come in from Nelson. Are we on the landline now? We are on the landline. Oh, crystal clear quality, plugged into a wall. I love it. Why have you still got it, though? What's the main reason?

It's got me out of a pickle, actually. My daughter is tempted to have a phone, and we've said no phones to her at college. So we've agreed that the landline is a way to get out of that. So her friends can still contact her. She can still ring other friends that actually still have landlines too, believe it or not. Right, yeah, keeping it old school, Miranda.

They've got to get through you to get to her. I love it. Yep. Got to use their manners. They've got to use their manners. And she has brothers as well. And like you were saying with your siblings listening in on the other end, that still happens.

Still happening. I love it. Telemarketers too, they love a landline, don't they? Do we run dinner time? They do. Are you running like an extension cord? Have you got the 20-meter extension cord, the reel-up cord, so she can have some privacy?

Well, we've upgraded to the cordless. Oh, the cordless, mate. Come on, it's 2023, Jono. You're like, this is basically a cell phone in your house. Yes. Oh, I love it. I hope the line will find something for you. Someone actually mentioned the other day, they're like,

you know, we're all so suspicious on our cell phones of unknown numbers coming through. Landlines, everyone was an unknown number. You took a gamble every time you picked that phone up. Leah, we'll get you on from Greymouth. How are you this morning, mate? Good, thanks. Now, have you still got your landline?

No, but my parents have. Your parents do. Now, we understand there's a crazy story involving a message in a bottle. Yes, yeah. My brother must have put a message in a bottle back in the early 90s, probably from the Cobden Beach where I used to bodyboard, and it was found in 2019, washed up down south towards Tukutukaua, and, yeah, the person that found the bottle had had the phone number on,

so I called it, and sure enough, it was still my parents' phone number all these years later. Oh, wait. He put a bottle in the ocean in the 90s? Yeah. He wrote the date on it, 1992, I think it was. What? And they called it in 2019?

Yeah. And their parents still had the same landline all those years later? Yes. Wow. That is a crazy story. Yeah. Yeah, so I mean,

it could have been washed up all these years. It was just a person, a local baker that was just on the beach happened to be picking up rubbish in it and found it, and it was in a plastic Coke bottle. That is fantastic. Well, I tell you what,

there is a great message to keep your landline so you can phone up and blow us over with these incredible stories on the radio. Yeah. Oh, that is so awesome. You have yourself a great day. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. It's 6.60, don't give it up. It is The Hits, Jono and Ben, 8.32 on your Monday.

Over the weekend, the legendary Kiwi actor Sam Neill revealed that he's in remission from stage three blood cancer. He's been fighting it for eight months, but good to know that he is in remission. And while he was fighting it, he wrote a book, which is going to be out. He decided he would write a book because he's used to acting all over the world.

Wrote a book, and that's going to be out soon, which I imagine will be one heck of a read. He's a true gentleman, isn't he, Sam? He is. Yeah, he gives a lot of his time to this radio show for some reason. It feels like he's way too good for this radio show. I just spoke to him, and he's awesome. I love Sam.

I'm glad to hear his house is on the mend, too. That's wonderful. Now, my daughter, Sienna, really wants Crocs. The Crocs have gone super fashionable. They're not just for the overworked and underpaid nurses and doctors. You know, covered in a bit of patient blood nowadays. The kids, they're all about the Crocs. Everyone from it.

My daughter Sienna, she's been buying these little gibbets things, the little things that you put. You basically, to make your Crocs a bit cooler, you buy these little things you can basically... You like vajazzle them. Yeah, well, yeah, similar sort of thing to that. Yes, you're right... You like vajazzle them. Yeah, yeah. Well, yeah, similar. Similar sort of thing to that. Yes, you're right.

And so she's been buying these with her pocket money, but she doesn't have the Crocs to put them on. So this is just like a really great play. You go, hey, look what I just got. I got another one of these

to go on my Crocs, which I don't actually have at the moment. So you haven't... She's wearing me down. She's wearing me down, Slade. So it's like buying the shoelaces for the shoes that you don't own.

Exactly. And she's also, no, she always go, Hey, look at this. This, you'll show me photos.

It's Post Malone. Look, he's wearing Crocs. It's Justin Bieber. He's wearing Crocs. It's Heidi. You know, she's showing me all these celebrities as well.

Show me a call. And that's cool. Even I was thinking about, I was going, Hey, I might get Crocs. And she's like, well,

you haven't got me Crocs yet. So I'm thinking about it too. You're going to get some Crocs. I'm thinking about dipping, I might get Crocs. And she's like, well, you haven't even got me Crocs yet, so I'm thinking about it too. You're going to get some Crocs. I'm thinking about dipping my toes into the Crocs game. Some great ventilation in the Crocs. I'm considering it. So we might go for it like the boys' house. I might go a double banger if we get it, see it and me.

Can I just say, please, please for the content of the show, buy some Crocs. Okay, alright. We'll have days worth of material. But they're cool. They're cool all of a sudden. I don't know if I'm like, is that, but when I do something and you're the same,

when we do something like planking or dabbing, it feels like it's the end of a cool trend, right? Yeah. So I feel like maybe if I get it, they'll be like, ugh, you know. But Crocs are done now, guys. Thinking about it. So Crocs. I was reading an article the other week because, you know,

obviously it was, we've always wanted to do Croctober. We have. We've dreamed of doing Croctober for so many years and we just can't get it off the ground. The Croc company think we're in here to have a laugh at their footwear. No. This is serious. No, mate, I'm thinking about that.

I'm going to do another pitch, public pitch, to the fine makers of Crocs. Let's get Croctober happening. Everyone, we're in Crocs for the whole month of October. We even came in with a bloody charity angle, didn't we? Behem's, Behem's genius producer, he's like, we'll come in with a charity. He's like, we'll raise money for the nurses and doctors. They didn't want to again, they thought we were

just going to take the mickey bin. Yeah, well, 1.7 billion, just for a quarter of 2022 is how much Crocs made. 1.7 billion for one quarter. Times that by four, that's there. That's what I was going to say. Yeah, the article too. And it was telling about how they rebranded Crocs

and the tricks they play. And it's a playbook of like you get the celebrities on board. Justin Bieber, he's collabing. Post Malone. Post Malone. Post Malone. You know, scissor. Now, I don't know why I'm talking like $20 Karen, but you do that and it can turn the tide on a brand,

which brings me to my point. Let's get Bieber. He's endorsing the Jono and Ben radio show. Collabing. Oh, yeah. Post Malone. Make it cool. When I'm in New Zealand, I only listen to this.

Jono and Ben. We can do that. All right. Well, I'll keep you posted. No doubt. If I do get crocs, you'll see me getting bullied by Jono on social media. And on radio. And on radio, yeah.

Multi-platform bullying. I'll do it just for that reason.
