The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Podcast intro, podcast. Hey, welcome, Kia ora podcast, it's the 7th of November and can I please selfishly use this time to thank a good Samaritan. Oh yeah! I was telling you this story yesterday. Yeah, stupidly, my mind's all over the show, I really need to just focus on what I'm doing at that particular time.

It goes, you know, it's just wild what's going on in there. But Saturday night, I'm in a fluster. We've got the kids there having their sleepover party. And then, you know, we've got to go pick up pizza. And so I had to go pick up the pizza. And I was like, oh, I don't know what to do. And then I left my wallet and bag on the roof of the car. And then I got distracted and I went away.

And I came back, hopped in the car, drove off. Oh, so you knew you kind of left it on there? No. Oh, no. Not at this stage. Right. Not at this stage. And I got home and I was just going to bed.

It was about midnight. I was like, where's my wallet? Couldn't find it. Whole household were all looking for it. I was like, you little kids, one of you little bastards stole my wallet. Hitting them up. Holding them up by the day. You're tipping all the contents of their bags out

I was taking your bags out and checking their bags check your bags we're not little bastards I don't trust

any of you guys you've never come to my house before we're nine year old girls we're not bastards

anyway it wasn't them it wasn't them and I was like ah it's gone and so then I was

you know when they got dropped back to their parents they were like Mr Pryor got quiet he managed to eat every one of our bags in front of him And I was, you know, when they dropped back to their parents the next day, they were like, that's the prior, go quiet.

He ran us into every one of our bags in front of him. There's a little booze. He keeps on stealing his wallet. When really he'd just forgotten where he'd put it. But anyway, so long story short, the next morning I'm going into the bank to cancel the credit cards, get a new driver's license. Because that's the thing. Do you know all people need now is your driver's license and they can get a loan. Wild.

They can get a loan under your name. I think it's really hard to get a loan now. Let's be honest. Is it? Like a $500 loan. Oh, $500. I was going to say home loan. They're not going to get a 30-year mortgage with your driver's license.

Oh, that's good. But license $500 away just from you they just roll in there and they go you look nothing like your picture but you can do it online and then I'm like well surely the money has to be deposited into an account who owns that account and arrests them and they don't anyway side story

so then I get an Instagram message my wife says check your Instagram you idiot someone might have messaged and I get an Instagram message. My wife says, check your Instagram, you idiot. Someone might have messaged. And I looked on Instagram. Power of social media. Lovely lady, Cynthia. She's like, hey, I found your wallet in your bag. It was hanging on the road. And so I went and picked it up from her.

And she's like, I walked past it. And then I walked back and said, no, that was mine. I would like someone to drop it back to me. So thank you, Cynthia. That's lovely. She's, Cynthia. That's lovely. She's from America. That's awesome. She's like, I had no idea that you did a radio show or anything.

She's like, but then they were looking through my wallet and saw my driver's license. She got $500 from it. Anything missing from the wallet? Yeah, you little bastard. She also got out a loan for $500 for you. That was lovely. Isn't that lovely?

People, still good people out there. Yeah, that's lovely to hear I would have taken the driver's licence and got loads yeah enjoy the podcast today we'll catch you tomorrow

the hits the Jono and Ben podcast how's everyone going good weekend going alright yeah it was a fun weekend didn't you say

we went down to the Pink Ribbon walk or run raising money for Breast Cancer New Zealand which is lovely it was good yeah what a great vibe it

was at the place though what was that huge mistake letting probably in particular me hold a microphone just non-stop rambling it's dangerous

it's dangerous we had to support people I had to say a lot of stuff coming back in to the finish line and lots of people in

wonderful pink costumes pink outfits it was really really cool I felt like the world's biggest fraud standing at a finish line congratulating people. So kind of running five or ten metre spurts across the line.

Yeah, you're right. They were like, well done, you can do it. They're like, thanks for showing up nine metres away from the finish line. We've already done it. At one stage you're like, you can do it. And they were literally only ten metres away. I was like, I'm pretty sure they're going to do it. Unless something catastrophic happens between now and the finish line.

What happened to your finger? I just cut it yesterday. Jammed it in the thing. I'm trying to do something outside. He's got a bandage on his finger, yeah. It was bleeding again this morning. Look, I just want sympathy today on a Monday morning. It looks like you've been doing chores.

Yeah. We met Producer Joel's parents as well. Oh yeah, we did. Producer Joel. Now they pulled us aside and they said, Joel got us all down here to do the 10K walk for Pink Ribbon

and he didn't even turn up. I forgot I had prior commitments. I had a sports game I had to be at yesterday but I couldn't miss it. But no, it was good to get them down. Hold on, was the sports game raising money for breast cancer New Zealand

yeah no was it just trying to what was that charity you know I got three people down there so three extra donations so they didn't need

my money your mum was lovely but all she kept saying to us was be nice to Joel she's heard she's heard you guys bully me constantly

on the radio for the last few weeks be nice to Joel. I thought, what have you been going home and saying? That's what I thought. And if she left you again, she was like, be nice. Be nice to my boy. Oh, okay.

And she's looking at Ben, too. Ben's like this savage monster. One of my other favorite bits for the ribbon walk was this little boy that kept coming out to us. And he was like, oh, you guys. Great question. Great question. Kids asking. And we were like, hey, we're Jono and Ben. And then that kept coming out to us and he was like who are you guys great question great question kids asking and we were like

hey we're Jono and Ben and then he kept coming back then he'd go away and he'd be like oh are you from the which Jono and Ben are you he kept saying the home renovation show

we're like no no not home renovation then we went away again he did some more thinking you Jono and Ben from Lego Masters we're like no no never done Lego Masters

and he went away and then he came back a third time as well didn't he? He was really trying to work out who we were. Most people had no idea who we were. But at least he was trying to find out. I don't think he finally got his answer, did he, in the end?

No, he was crediting us with a lot of great shows that we wished that we were on, but we're not. You might have seen Ben on the news a few years ago. He had some troubles. Maybe that's where he recognised us from. I should have mentioned that i don't know why i didn't think of that i need some monday morning motivation we like to do it every monday morning ah this morning i've had a lot of trouble logging into the work computer

yeah well this is an ongoing issue with don't say like this is a one-off event it happens every few once a month once a month he forget either forgets his password or i don't know how you forget the same password you enter into a computer so long I try and do it quickly because it keeps logging me out. Like throughout the show, like only every two minutes it logs you out basically. Oh, so you need to. If you don't touch, don't wiggle the mouse or do anything because I only log it in to see the system. So it keeps logging. So I have to get in and do it frantic.

And then you have to have like 36 bloody characters to go into your password. Oh, the underscores. And you change it every three weeks. Anyway, today. And then it's like not not strong enough, weak. But changing a password these days has become, oh my God. Have you done the real me thing? Yeah, yeah.

The government thing? Or are you just like, oh, jeez. Well, today is all on me, guys. I had to even get Bruce, who helps us out for tech support this morning. It's all on me. Because you know what it was? It was caps lock. It was caps lock.

Oh, no, it's me. It's all me me. You know what it was? It was Caps Lock. It was Caps Lock. Oh no, it's me. It's all me. So I need some Monday morning motivation. It's just another Motivational Monday. Before Bruce doesn't get up at four in the morning

to tell you you've got it on Caps Lock. He didn't tell me. I worked it out but he should have. Yeah, he's just sorry. Apologies to Bruce

for doing a wonderful job. Yes, Motivational Monday. We like to get things kick-started with some we're kind of like a couple of energetic life coaches, aren't we? Yeah. With those microphones that wrap around their cheeks, like Tony Robbins.

Now, Oprah, you ready for an ogasm? I would. I'd like some Oprah, yeah. Here we go. When you don't know what to do, you do nothing. You get still until you do know. Because when you have to ask everybody else, should I, should I, should I do this, should I, should I?

And that's whether it's buying a pair of shoes or going with a guy, buying a house, taking a job, should I, should I, should I, should I? When you have to ask everybody else, it means you don't really know the answer fully yourself. So you get still, be still, and know the answer will come.

There you go. If you're stuck with anything in life, Oprah says, don't go asking everyone. You just sit and be still with it. Now that's your worst nightmare, Ben. Yeah. Being still. Being alone with my thoughts.

Being alone with your thoughts. That's a dangerous place. But there you go. That's really juiced me up till June next year with motivation, actually. Oprah Winfrey. She knows a lot of stuff. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. A Monday morning, and what a lot of stuff. The Hits. The Jono and Ben Podcast.

A Monday morning and what a weekend of sport. The Black Ferns, congratulations. That was a nail-biting game. They got through the final though. Down to the final seconds of the poor French lady. And everyone in the crowd was booed. I feel bad for a boo situation. No, yeah, I'm not down with a boo situation.

But it was awesome to see the Black Ferns in the final. Although you do get stripped up in a boo. Like if someone starts a boo, it's kind of that mob mentality, isn't it? And if you don't boo,

everyone's like, well, you're not booing. Yeah, so the All Blacks had a good one as well. The Kiwis just scraped through into the semifinals of the league this weekend.

And the Cricketers, the Black Caps, have made the semifinals of the T20 World Cup, which is cool. That's happening midweek, actually. You commentated the game, didn't you, on Friday night?

Friday night for the ACC. How was the commentary? Which is the Alternate Commentary Collective. It was fun. It was definitely not the A line-up because they were off playing a cricket game. So it was the bringers. But we had a lot of fun, actually. And I brought in my Irish mate because they were playing the Ireland team.

So I brought in Irish Dave. And I thought, it would be great to have an Irish correspondent on the show. And he was a lot of fun. He came with a lot of energy. He was like, what do I do, mate Irish Dave and I thought it'd be great to have an Irish correspondent on the show and he was a lot of fun he came with a lot of energy, he was like what do I do mate what do I do and I said well just you know one of the main things is try not to swear, you can talk about pretty much anything you want but don't swear and that's one thing you can't tell Irish

don't tell them not to drink Guinness and not to swear, those are two of their favourite hobbies we talked a lot about potatoes that was some good chat. Also the fact that for three months was the greatest time of my life, the worst in his life, when he was 33 and a third was his actual age. And as he would say it, 33 and a third is how he would say it as well.

So we talked about that. So you just got your Irish made up as a comedic foil. Come on with your funny accent. I stitched him up too, not knowingly, because I was like, wear something green, wear something Irish, but forgetting there's a green screen behind funny accent. I stitched him up too, not knowingly, because I was like, wear something green, wear something Irish, but forgetting there's a green screen behind him. So I stitched him up. So he looked like a floating head. The new guy as well.

But I got to witness with my mate Irish Dave, the highs and lows. When do you just call him Dave? Yeah, I know. Why does he have to be Irish Dave? He's Dave. But yeah, I got to witness the highs and lows of TV, the popularity cycle, just all in one night

because this first time for him doing anything like this and he did a great job. But, you know, and afterwards I got to went to the pub with him, you know, and he had a whole lot of mates he told to watch and he was a hero. I was like, oh mate, you're so, I was on this commentary too, but it didn't matter. I just loved Irish Dave.

I was like, Irish Dave is great, how good was he? So I got to witness that moment. But then I also got to witness the lows of popularity when he checked out the text machine. There's the rolling text machine. He's like, oh, what's the text machine? Well, maybe don't look at that one. We do hide that from the fragile radio hosts,

don't we, the text machine. It's a brutal portal of honesty. Yeah, especially on the alternate commentary collective. I imagine they would pull no punches, that crowd. To be fair, there was a lot of love towards him, but on the alternate commentary collective. I imagine they would pull no punches that crowd. To be fair, there was a lot of love towards him,

but you only remember the ones. They can't do it. I can see him for the first time. Why did you let Orish Dave read the text?

He wanted to and I was like, no, no, no, no. As soon as he did, he was scrolling through going, oh, oh. Was this during the show?

Oh, yeah. Really taking the wind out of the sails. Yeah. You can text wind out of the sails. Yeah. You can text us too, 4487, anytime. The most brutal feedback you've got, we'll take it on the chin. The hits is generally pretty lovely. Generally.

Okay, what is the nicest text we could receive right now? 4487. Okay. I'll challenge you, New Zealand. The nicest text. Let's go to the other end. We're on the hits now. This is friendly. I realise it'll probably be sarcastic? We're on the hits now. This is friendly.

You realise it'll probably be sarcastic. We'll read that out next. It is the hits. You've got Jono there. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. Morning, my mate. We were just talking about it in the weekend.

I learnt about the text machine that people can text you when you're doing a broadcast. We were doing one in the weekend, and he learnt the realities of that text machine. Yeah, it's the ultimate leveller for any broadcaster is the text machine. You know, we've been across a slew of radio stations, been in a slew of formats and we've experienced all forms of text communication one person could read. Social media is the same as well. People can message you at any stage and a lot of the time you'll see it and it's a real leveller.

Yeah. And so we, your friend Irish Dave, he learnt about the harsh realities of the time you'll see it and it's a real leveler yeah and so we your friend irish dave he he learned about the harsh realities of the text machine on the weekend as you were doing a broadcast with him for the cricket and to be fair most of it was positive but it's the ones that i was like mate it's the negative one they'll stay with you they'll stay with you it's those are the ones that'll keep you awake at two o'clock in the morning dave yeah yeah yeah lying there questioning your career decisions. But then we just threw out Ben,

the polar opposite. We're like, what's the nicest text someone could text in right now? 4487. And boom, this is why we love the hits. Yeah, what have we got there? Just kind-hearted. I don't even read the text machine now.

I refuse to. Here's the first one. You guys screwed up before. You had the ads and music going at the same time. We did. We did. That's our fault. That was from our boss. Yeah. Here's another one. You guys screwed up before. You had the ads and music going at the same time. We did. We did. That's our fault. That was for our boss. Here's another one. You guys are okay.

Not bad. It's alright. Okay. It's good. We'll take it okay. You guys are the best. Love waking up with you both in the morning. You make my day. Another one. They made my day. Love you guys. I love starting the day with a laugh. Good morning Jono and Ben. You're kind of talented.

Kind of talented. Your laughter and comedy has brought me out of some mentally dark places. Thank you for that one. It means a lot. That does mean a lot. Morning, guys. The ads are playing over Adele right now. Are you aware of this?

Hey, guys. What's happening? It sounds like I'm listening to ads and music. Here's another one. Guys, you idiots. You're playing ads and Adele at the same time. We call them ads-del. That's why we thought Adele, you know,

she could get a little more commercial, didn't we? Yeah, we did. So there we go. Some wonderful text feedback there. 4487 if you want to get in touch with us. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. The Hits with Cadbury Favourites, summer personality quiz. The Hits with Cadbury Favourites Summer Personality Quiz.

The social season is here and you need to start getting the barbecue out, getting it all ready and brushing up on your banter and you need to understand what personality, what Kiwi personality you're bringing to the party this year. What have we got there Ben? What sort of personality types have we got? There's a

great little quiz that you can do online at thehitstockhow.nz. Thanks to Cadbury Kiwi Favourites. People can be finding out there if there are things like the yana, the muso, the stand-up. Something unique that you can bring to the party. And on Friday we spoke to someone who was the influencer. Yeah, now Sarah,

we issued you a challenge in Hamilton over the weekend. Welcome back to the programme, Saz. Hello. You did qualify as the influencer after completing the Kiwi Favourites personality test. And we said, well, do your finest influencing over the weekend. We issued a challenge for you to get 100 likes,

minimum of 100 likes on your Facebook page. If you did so, we would give you the $500 entertainment pack, okay? So, I don't know what happened. I don't know what happened. What took place on your Facebook page over the weekend, Sarah? How did you garner these likes?

Oh, look, day one was very challenging. I think I only got halfway there and I was panicking a little bit. But by Sunday, I was able to bring everybody together and I even saw that you guys put up a post so I was able to get to 181 likes at the end of the week. What was your actual post, your photo or video you did? I just did a little write-up and I realised that it was probably the wrong way to go because it was so much harder doing a write-up as opposed to, I don't know, doing like a really cool video or a poster saying, please help or something like that.

So, influencing. Are you fully addicted now? Are we going to see you living your best life, holding up weight loss products and stuff and frolicking on a beach? Most likely not, Jono. I'll probably be doing all that at social gatherings. Online and in life is completely two different things, I've realised. Well, you had 72 hours experiencing

what it feels like to be a contestant on Love Island, influencing people, and you came through by 81. Over, though, by 81. Yeah, well done. Well done. $500 entertainment voucher, thanks to our Cadbury Kiwi Favourites

and a box of Cadbury Kiwi Favourites. You enjoy that. Well done. Oh, thank you, The Hits, and thank you so much, Cadbury. I really love that. Jono and Ben? What?

Jono and Ben? She said Hits, Cadbury. Yeah, that's it. Oh, sorry, Jono and Ben. Sorry. Just tag that on there. See you, Sarah. Have a great day.

See you, mate. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. I don't want to start the week on a shocking note. This is very concerning. If it's true, we should all be very worried. Now, this is from TikTok. I want to say from the get-go, it's from TikTok. So, you know, not everything you read on TikTok is correct.

This is how people ended up outside Parliament. Exactly. We'll front-foot it with that, but I do love TikTok. Okay. It's a great place. People used to not like it. And I don't know this person, you know, their credentials or anything like that.

So, again, I'm front footed with that. But they were saying, and there's a thing that's going around on TikTok saying that according to experts, and I put experts in those little italic speech marks, your underwear should be thrown out every six to 12 months, not when the elastic is snapped on them. Underwear every six to 12 months? Like I was saying just before, I've got something maybe eight years old could be tipping a decade old I reckon I'm definitely

and still still holding what needs to be held yeah sometimes they get a little saggy don't they I don't like it

when the elastic band rips away from the the cotton base of the under you know you get those holes I stick those out for another six months

or so to the point where I feel sentimental I know we've been through some tough times together these underpants to be fair the under, you know, you get those holes. I stick those out for another six months or so. To the point where like- I feel sentimental. I mean, we've been through some tough times together, these underpants. To be fair, the underpants have probably been through tougher times. Yeah, and I'm like, mate, we're hanging in there together.

But every six, now was this TikTok account's username Ben Don or Calvin Klein to boost sales? Yeah, like one of the, you know, some of the people come back saying, yeah, it's important, Obviously, you're washing them. If you're washing them in warm or hot water, that's better for cleaning the bacteria than cold water. But I imagine getting them regularly washed is still doing some good things.

But what do you throw it out there right now on 4487 on the text? Oldest undies? Oldest undies. Oh, yeah, this is great. This is great. Who's currently wearing the oldest pair of undies listening to the show right now? Oh, here's someone at home. I reckon definitely a decade. I definitely have undies listening to the show right now? Oh, here's someone at home. I reckon definitely a decade.

I definitely have... Producer Joel? Some of mine are holier than John O'Prior. What do you mean holier than me? Catholic, mate. Catholic. You know, Catholic. Amen.

Amen. The other thing too which freaked me out was pillows. You're meant to wash your pillow every six months. Like the actual pillow. Not just the pillow case. Because it ends up yellow and you're like, what has gone on overnight for me to create a yellow stain on a white pillow?

But we're not focusing on that right now. Oldest undies. So who has the oldest pair of undies right now? We'll find a prize on a Monday morning. Maybe a new pair of underpants. Yeah, 4487, who has the oldest undies? We'd love to hear from you. It is The Hits, Jono and Ben. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Let's look at some scrolling.

Well, we may not have a degree in journalism. And this news bulletin will prove why we don't. Ben, what's going on and scrolling through your feed? Oh, well, it was a big sporting weekend, as we mentioned before. The Black Caps made the semis. The All Blacks look good against Wales. The Kiwis scraped through into the semifinals of the Rugby League World Cup. But the big news, the one we're celebrating the most

this morning, the Black Ferns. How good that semifinal game at Eden Park on the weekend. Very, very close against France. Now just in the dying seconds of the game, the penalty goal, the penalty kick that the French missed. And this was the end of the game commentary where New Zealand kicked it out and we

finally booked a spot in the final this weekend. And he says get rid of it! And New Zealand are going to the World Cup final! Great, don't get me wrong. That's the right team that we all want to be in the final, but you felt very sorry for the French. I know, you did. That poor girl would have been crying into her croissants the next morning.

It was, yeah. It's been an amazing crowd. Another great crowd in the weekend. About 127,000 spectators across the tournament so far. The final set to break the world record for the largest crowd to attend a women's rugby match ever in the world. I was trying to buy tickets on Sunday morning, yesterday morning. Couldn't do it. Couldn't do it for the finals.

So, yeah, so this weekend it looks like a sellout. Benny's going to be playing at halftime. So if you can't get along, which you can't, I couldn't get along, then at least you could... Jump the gate. It's hard to get in. I was trying to get tickets, but it's just gone. Too popular.

That's amazing because we spoke to Kendra Coxedge, Black Fern legend. This is her last World Cup. She's retiring after this. This is what she had to say about the tournament. You know, like, it's been really incredible. Like, it's just such a big shift. And not just women in rugby, but I think it's women in sport. And to be honest with you,

I didn't think we would get the crowds that we've been getting. No wonder we were overwhelmed in that first game, you know, because the opening match was coming out. Oh, it was incredible. I hope you didn't say that when they announced they were going to bring the World Cup. You're like, come on, I don't think we're going to get the crowds. I hope you kept that to yourself.

You're definitely going to get the crowds. Yeah, no, I definitely did. They're so stoked. And then she's like, people are stopping us in cafes. We're getting toots. We're on the tour bus. She's like, it's just amazing. It's incredible.

So good luck to the Black Ferns. They take on England, the final this Saturday night, as I said before. Eden Park and Benny playing at halftime, which is awesome. Now, Ben, sorry I talked all over you there rudely. You accept my apologies? Fine. My heartfelt apology? Yeah, all good.

Yeah, I don't know about that one. All right, whatever you want to do. We've got to move on. Ben's got to get out of the booth. He's running out of oxygen. He's looking very faint in there. If you were saying it, what would you say? I would have said lipstick, but that's me personally.

Yeah, well, we got lipstick. All right, thank you very much. Let's get Ben out there. Sorry you're in there for so long. Yeah, but you guys have forgotten about me. We're starting to wonder if you're going to see your family again. It's good to see you back and slightly breathing. Yeah.

All right, Ange, let's get you off to Bali, and me as well. Ange said she'd take me to Bali if she was. Oh, nice. Here we go. Word number one. Word one, $25. Lippy. Lippy?

Lippy. L-I-P-P-I-E. Lipstick? We did it, Ange! Yes! All right, what are we doing? Are we advancing our relationship to a $50 word, or are we walking out of the game?

We're going to a $50 word trade. Word two, $50 word or are we walking out of the game? We're going to a $50 word change. Word two, $50. Peanut. Peanut. Butter. Oh, peanut butter,

no. Kiss those cocktails goodbye, Ange. We could have been sunning ourselves on the beach in Bali but Ben, peanut brownie.

Peanut brownie. Peanut brownie. We'll go through the remainders. Brain. Brain. Cells. No. Teaser. Word number four is gamble. Casino. Not bad. And concrete.

Cement. Ange. Sorry, Ange. I let you down this morning. There were some tough words in there. I blame the lack of oxygen in his brain. The brain cells have gone from my brain, actually. You go and have a wonderful weekend. You keep up the great work at the medical clinic.

We all love what you're doing. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Now, both our kids over the weekend had birthday parties, but it's two sleepovers going on at separate houses. But, jeez, kids en masse. Simultaneous sleepovers. And you know you're in for a wild ride when every parent

turns up and every single one of them says you're brave like nothing makes you second when you question a decision

than someone going you're brave good luck good luck everyone you're like oh god I decided to have a meeting with the boss

at 9.30 you're brave good luck good luck you know it really rattled me at the beginning of the proceedings. My daughter Sienna, it was her birthday at home. I had a whole lot of friends over.

They had a great time. But, you know, you spend a lot of time just doing admin as the parent now. At least, you know, back in the day when they were younger, you'd be like, oh, let's do this. Now it's just like you just feel like you're the hired help. They're going around just to. We're thirsty. We're hungry. Yeah, just do that. Now it's just like, you just feel like you're the hired help. They're going around just to- We're thirsty. We're hungry.

Yeah, just doggle that. But the noise, the noise, and I'm going to sound like an old man here, but the first, a lot of kids en masse, and they found the piano that we got given. We got given a free piano.

I now know why the people gave it to us for free because they were playing the piano for a bit. So all at once, and then it's just like, oh yeah. So one would start playing and then the other one would get involved. You hate that piano, don't you? Every day you're like that blasted piano. I see why they gave it to us for free. I was like, who would give away a free piano? Now I know. But then Sienna opened up her presents and one of the presents was a microphone that does karaoke, like a little portable microphone that does karaoke. And this is what I heard for the next hour.

This is lovely. It's been two hours of this going on. I'm not giving up today. There's something getting in my way. And if you knock, knock me over, I will get there. The sound of a professional quality tune. Yeah. So I've actually, today, I've brought the microphone in to work

not to do anything with it at work just to keep it away from the house. Just to give it some time out. How was the karaoke marathon? Was it non-stop? No, they probably did that

for a good 45 minutes and then they went and did something else. So yeah. So it was entertaining and they had a lot of fun and it was awesome to see them having

such a good time. The good thing is you brought yourself some credit though, haven't you? Yeah. Because you've got your how many kids? Ah, there was 11 all up. You're brave. Yeah, yeah, thank you.

Good luck. Now you have one of those coffee loyalty cards with the stamps. You've got 10 sleepovers up your bag, mate. You've got 10 free nights. So I have. I brought the microphone in today, so that's good. So that's keeping it away from the house. So I can I play with it? Yeah, you can play with it.

G'day mate. You sound like someone off. Yeah, she's sleeping over me. I was going. Yeah, she came over and I'm not looking through the window, I could see you sleeping. You sleep like a little baby. Okay. Yeah, well maybe I'll bring it home now, the microphone,

and then... Oh, actually, it was me watching this, and it didn't open very well. Did you have a good sleep? I did have a good sleep. I wish you got a little rest. We'll see you at about 10.30 in the morning. And it's actually quite fun.

It's one of those things, when you've got the microphone, it's a lot of fun. When someone else has got it, you're like, oh, please. I don't sound anywhere near as adorable as your kids. No, but it's got a voice changer. It's just quite handy for radio someone else has got it. You're like, oh, please. I don't sound anywhere near as adorable as your kids. No, but it's got a voice changer. It's just quite handy for radio stuff. Yeah, it's perfect. And you can do characters.

It's actually quite a cool invention. It just keeps developing through puberty the more and more you push the button. So there you go. Well, that'll be a lot of fun in the house for like a week and a half. Then you'll forget you've got it. Yeah.

The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Now we're joined by Kelsey Purcell from the Auckland Council Animal Shelter. How are you this morning, Kelsey? Good. Lovely to have you on. From the Auckland Council Silverdale Animal Shelter, you're the manager. I am. Now, what you've done is a very clever

play. Ben Boyce got an Instagram message going, oh, there's a dog named after you that's up for adoption. Yeah, a dog named after both. So there's a Jono dog and a Ben dog. Still available for adoption? Yes, they're both still waiting. Yeah, now what you've done is you've played beautifully into our egos here

to get some good chat on the radio, and we love it because the shelters, they're at capacity at the moment around the city. Yeah, yeah, it's a sign of the times where we're really struggling to move our adoption dogs this year in particular. We're just, yeah, we're really trying everything we can. So basically it's a bit of a plea at the moment for anyone who's got the ability or keen to have a dog and they've got the home that's perfect for a dog. This is the time, right? Yeah, absolutely.

And trying to change people's minds on adoption as well, like people that would normally look on Trade Me or perhaps go for a purebred dog. Trying to change their minds around the fact that dogs in the shelters are just as deserving and just as good. Yeah, and so you get these dogs from all sorts of backgrounds and reasons, I imagine. Yeah.

People can just, what, they just turn up and they can adopt or there's paperwork to fill out? No, our adoption process is pretty thorough because we want to make sure that when we adopt these dogs out, they're going to their forever home. Yeah. Like you say, these dogs do come from all sorts of beginnings, sometimes really unpleasant beginnings. Like you say, these dogs do come from all sorts of beginnings, sometimes really unpleasant beginnings, and we want to make sure that when they go from us,

they're going to somewhere where they're secure and they're going to be forever. Exactly. So tell us about Jono and being the dogs that you've got available right now. So they're both just young, active. Opposite of the two of us. You're describing me keep talking young

handsome noisy that's us that's you that's definitely us couple of dogs that no one wants at the moment

but we will get them we will get them adopted Kelsey what are they they're German Shepard Crosses very cute we'll put it up

on our Instagram on the story right now on the hits breakfast as well very cute dogs they come as a pair though

you need to adopt both of them well you don't have to but that is nice you can have the john o and ben if you've got the ability to have both them together do they get on well like the two of us they do they do there you go there could be a pair they actually came in together from the same property so is the ben one quite so how do i put thisrusty. Ben's actually more chill than Jono. Oh. Jono the thrusty one. Uh-oh. It must just break your heart, you know,

to some of the things you have to deal with in your job. I mean, you work in there every day. You must just want to take them all home yourself, Kelsey. Yep. Yeah. There's only so many dogs one person can have, though. Yeah. Well, you can't have 101 Dalmatians.

Well, true. That was a lot of dogs for them. Too many dogs. If people want to find out more about dogs up for adoption, where can they go? So our Facebook page is probably the best place to see all our dogs. So it's Auckland Council Adoptable Animals. We've got 62 currently up for adoption and we've got about 40 waiting testing and profiles until they make the page as well.

So that's about 100 dogs. And do you have to be in Auckland to adopt? Can people outside of the city come in? Absolutely. We do require that the people come and meet the dogs though. That's very sad. Well hopefully we can find a whole lot of wonderful homes for these adorable dogs out there.

Thank you for everything you do. And everyone can head to the Facebook page as well if they want to find out some more. Thanks, guys. Thanks, Kelsey. Have a good day. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Now, Jono's been recording videos for birthdays, A&P shows, weddings, you name it.

should buy tickets from Via Go Go love your show oh yeah well Jono you were being sarcastic Via Go Go. Love your show. Yeah, well, Jono, you were being sarcastic. Via Go Go has... The track record's not always that great. Rugby World Cup finals sold out.

Don't go to Via Go Go. If you want to go to Via Go Go, hey, they might come through once. This might be the one time they come through. Well, hey, I don't know enough about it, but maybe it's not worth taking that risk. No. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.

And hey, this Sunday, it's this week, Friday Jams Live's going to hit Auckland's one show only Western Spring Stadium. There are still tickets on sale at ticketmaster.co.nz featuring the likes of Macklemore, TLC, Shaggy, and a whole lot more. We'll be giving away meet and greets this week with double passes for your best story

about who you've met in your life. Oh, we've had some of the biggest names in the world on the show over the last seven days. Not the actual owners of the names, just the names, but some fantastic stories. And Tiahu joins us on New Zealand's Breakfast. Good morning. Good morning.

Lovely to have you on. Now, we're just talking celebrity meet and greets. We've had some big bangers. Thank you, Queen, Aussie Osborne, Oprah Winfrey. I know. Bono. Yes, we've hadrey. I know. Bono. Yes, I mean, some big celebrity meet and greet. Queen, Oprah, Aussie Bono.

Everyone with just one name. You know them with one name. Yeah. Who have you got today? I called Prince Harry the Hacker and had lunch with him. Two names, Prince Harry. Can't take it. Just say Harry.

If you say Harry, we know exactly who you're talking about. Wow, so when did this happen? This is when I was in the Defence Force still, and I got flown up from Birmingham camp up to Linton camp, and we picked this up for a few days learning the NZDF haka, waiting for him to come. And he finally came, and we did the haka with him, taught him, he had a gas bag with us,

and then his security guard came in and said, excuse me, Your Highness highness we have to keep moving with our future and he's like just give me a minute they walked down and he was like

I'll never mind them and then yeah it was pretty cool so he held off he was having such a good time so

you had lunch with Prince Harry as well yeah later on they went up and gave him a hungi I was quite surprised

he speaks te reo Maori really good oh that's awesome and so you taught him the haka? Yeah, he taught him the haka, but I taught him the actions. It wasn't just me.

It was a big group of us. I taught him the actions and the words, and it was a choice day. Well, that's a great meet and greet. Now, when we started this, I was like, we're never going to drag our ass through this with Celebrity Meet and Greets. But every day, it's just got better and better. Awesome. You'd sum him up

in one word, what would you say? Oh, he's an awesome fella. He's really good to talk to and he's talking to us like one of the boys. Yeah, we went way over

the word limitation there. But he's, you can't sum him up in one word. Well, to go back to what the start, I think you started with he, so.

We'll take he. He was talking to us like one of the boys. Yeah. Oh, that's awesome. He does talking to us like one of the boys. Yeah. Oh, that's awesome. He does seem quite relatable, doesn't he? Oh, yeah, because he was in the military for many years as well, wasn't he?

Yeah, yeah, he was. It's kind of cool. It feels like it's the new age of the Royals, not that he's, well, he's kind of the Royals. He's left, mate. He's had enough of it. He had enough of it. Now, what conversation did you throw his way?

When I had the dinner or the lunch with him, I went up, I gave him a hongi, and I asked him if his brother called him a wrangler. He looked at me and gave me the dirty look. I'm like, it's okay, it's okay, man. I'm a ding of teeth. What was his answer to that? Do you remember?

He didn't say nothing. He just smiled. Did your brother call you a wrangler? We're going to hook you up with a double pass to Friday Jams, and guess what? You've got a meet and greet with Macklemore. Oh, you're awesome. Thank you, guys.

How cool is that? Now, looking at Macklemore, he's kind of strawberry blonde, so don't come at him with the whole wrangler thing. He might have the ginger gene floating around in there somewhere like I do. Teahu, that is a wonderful story. You go and enjoy Friday jams in Auckland and meeting Macklemore. Awesome. Thank you, guys.

Now, both of our daughters had sleepover birthday parties in the weekend. Kids en masse. Lots of kids en masse. I just played before some of the audio. It was karaoke was cranking at my house all through the night night they were loving it well that was piano that was piano there was always a whole musical occasion there was also karaoke as well going on so yeah it was a lot of musical stuff happening the whole time kids on master full of sugar lack of sleep and then you send them back to their parents the next day and you're like they're your problem now well it feels

like the weekend masticated me chewed me up your problem now. Well, it feels like the weekend masticated me, chewed me up, spat me out, been boss, and it feels like the after effects of an absolute bender of a weekend without any of the fun parts. Yeah, they had fun. They had so much fun. I'm sure Poppy and your friends had fun. They did.

It was adorable to see as well. The irony is the sleeping part of sleeping over doesn't usually take place till very late, very late in the piece. And this is about 10 o'clock at night. Ben, they wanted to do a message for you. Oh, did they? Because they knew you were having a sleepover too. Hi, Ben!

I hope you're having a good sleepover! A little bit sort of blurry and stuff in the middle there. I hope you're having a good sleepover was meant to be the theme of the message. That's a lovely message, yeah. Just a deafening scream. This was part of the soundtrack for 12 hours. High energy. You're right.

The sleeping part of the sleepover is very little because they're very excited. They're all jacked up on sugar and all together. And you're like, hey, guys, do you want to just try and go to sleep? And they're like, yep. And then talking again. They don't pay any attention. I just said, yeah, we can hear you.

Jacked up on artificial sugar and youthful exuberance. My wife actually had to end up sitting in there at midnight, just sitting watching. She's like, I played season one of Jono in bed. Boom, they're out. She's like, I played season one of Jono and Ben, boom, they're out. Ten minutes later, conked. Conked, they're out of sleep. Check out the podcast, mate, they can sleep for days.

The ultimate sleeping pill. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. The Hits boarding call. With Visit Anaheim, House of Travel and Fiji Airways. And it's a dream family holiday to Anaheim. Flights for four, accommodation passes to Disneyland, $10,000 cash and a whole lot more. It's all thanks to House of Travel, Fiji Airways and Visit Anaheim.

You can see houseoftravel.co.nz for more details. We'll head to Porirua this morning. Shanada, welcome to New Zealand's breakfast. Good to have you on the show. Good morning. Great to have you on. Listen, you need to answer one simple question, then you and three others could be jetting over to Disneyland Anaheim,

and I'm going to do a DNA test after the show just to make sure that we're not related, because if there is a bloodline, Sinead, I'm coming, okay? Okay. Or you can just rebirth me, and I can be your adopted child. It's a little weird to come on this journey. You need to answer

a Disney question. Today's question is what Disney princess creates an ice fortress and hides herself away? Elsa. Yeah, well done. Well done.

She was a bit cagey, wasn't she, Elsa? Yeah, she kind of went off by herself to discover herself, like an 18-year-old going to Europe or something, you know? The ice stuff was very problematic too, wasn't it? Yeah.

Yeah, and she couldn't control it and she would snap. Anyway, great storyline. Sinead, an even better story would be getting you over to the States. Who are you going to be taking? My family, just my mum, my brother and probably my son. Mum, brother, son. Where do I come in this equation?

You can hop in the bag. Hop in the bag? Yeah, put us in a bag. I wonder if anyone's ever tried to get in a bag internationally. It would probably show up in a scanner.

Yeah, I think so. Questions would be asked. It's not a preferred method of travel. And also, a little tip too. A lot of moped scooters too going around Disneyland. Now these people always get to the front

of the queue, I notice. To hire one of those? To hire one of those, go around on a mobility scooter. You'll be riding Magic Mountain in no time. I'll remember that. Good on you, Shanayda.

Hey, well enjoy it. If you get to go, it's going to be an amazing trip. All the very best. Thank you so much. Listen out for the next Hitsporting call. For your chance to get in the draw, Anaheim, Disneyland. It's an incredible trip.

All thanks to houseoftravel.co.nz. It's the All-American Rejects. Gives you hell. 11 minutes away from 9 o'clock on your Monday on the Hits. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Just got some more mail. The only mail I receive i receive here ben you get lovely presents and things sent to you and gifts and muffins and all sorts the only gift i get are tickets from the council parking infringements oh you've driven down a bus lane oh you've parked over the 90 oh you went the

wrong way down the motorway all this stuff you know i'm just an innocent driver innocent motorist to work for some reason don't you well the reason i get to see to work is so that my wife doesn't see how many parking tickets i receive it becomes a bone and contention of the relationship and so it should do because it's just irresponsible like how many tickets does one person i probably get at least they come in barrages now too reception will go oh go, oh, there's some mail for you. Boom, there's six tickets. Where'd you park today? Eh?

Where'd you park today? Outside. This is the thing. We have a car park. Yeah. It's a five-minute walk, but we have a car park. Now, why did you not park in the car park? The car park, you're safe to park.

I know. You're parked around the streets. You're taking a risk. I know. I haven't paid. You haven't paid? No. And you can't pay at five o'clock in the morning. Can't you? No. You've got to remember to park. I know. You park around the streets. You're taking a risk. I know. I haven't paid. You haven't paid. No. And you can't pay at five o'clock in the morning.

No. You've got to remember to do it in time. Then you forget. Then you forget and do it. Mate, there's a car park. I know. There's a car park. I know.

I know. Listen, who are you? Jen, my wife? You were one of the first in today. I was like, you had five more minutes. Yeah, okay. No, it's all true. It's all true.

I can't argue it. I can't argue it. I can't argue it. You are 100% right. Matt Anderson, who's one of our bosses here at the Hits, never had a car, a ticket in his life. No. The thing is now they've really, parking wardens, they mustn't feel good about themselves.

They're not turning up to work going, great, I'm going to ruin everyone's day today. I'm sure they don't like doing it. Now they've got a ticketing tank. Don't they? They've really advanced. It's like the Terminator of parking tickets. It just drives around, bang, bang, bang, bang,

takes photos of license plates, comes back around 30 minutes later, bang, give them a ticket, bang, give them a ticket. Don't even have to get out of the car, eh? No confrontation. If I was a parking warden, that would be a dream. You'd be in the ticketing tank. Oh, yeah, because you don't want to deal with anyone. No.

Because no one likes it. We're all quick and then run away, you know? Well, you're no good with confrontation. So if you were writing a ticket out for someone and they said, hey, I don't need this ticket, you wouldn't come back. As soon as their line of confrontation was drawn, you would just go, okay. And then you get back to the office and they're like, how many tickets did you get today, boys?

Well, none. In fact, I paid for someone's parking. I would be paying for everyone's tickets because I'd feel bad about it. There's a theory, too. Now, I don't know if this works. I know a friend of mine pays for tickets, has paid for tickets over a number of months, and has just left them all on the dashboard. So they just litter his dashboard.

And then the warden comes along and doesn't know which ticket belongs to this particular parking zone so he's got like a hundred tickets not as in fines, sorry he's bought them out of the machine but now you don't get the little things that print out now it's all done through your licence

they've got you there I've got six under my belt now what's the perfect excuse to get off them? There must be something. I must be. I'm desperate times called from desperate measures.

There must be some excuse. What, the best thing to ride on and best excuses the way you get out of a ticket? Okay. Because the other one

I was parked on yellow lines and I was like I said to you guys I was having a sleep. Now the ticketing officer didn't even An afternoon sleep. Didn't even bother to come and knock on the window. I was having a sleep now the ticketing officer ticketing officer didn't even an afternoon sleep

didn't even bother to come and knock on the window I was in the car he just took a photo of it and I wrote in and I was like guys I didn't say I was sleeping

I said I was on a very important cell phone call couldn't I be driving and talking and they're like well you can't stop on yellow lights

that's the issue I was like oh god okay what's the best excuse I was like, oh, God. Okay, what's the best excuse to get off parking tickets? 4487 on the text 0800 The Hits. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Jono, something I've discovered now, thanks to producer Joel, who I'll bring into the show right now.

Something you've been doing behind my back is recording videos for stuff. Now, Jono, it's probably well publicised. You're the first to admit it. You're not a huge fan of turning up at things. No. It's one of my less favourite hobbies is having to turn up to things. You're right being boys.

So I feel like Producer Joe, is this correct, that he's been recording little videos instead of showing up to places? Recording videos, making me edit them and stuff. Taking a fee as well. He's been taking the fee for himself. Give me about 10% of it. So you take a fee and you're like,

oh, let's do a video and you send them in. What sort of videos? Well, now, you know, people message you and they're like, oh, can you turn up to, you know, the Mozgiel Primary School Christmas fundraising gala? You know, Christmas and kids and Mozgiel? No. But I say,

I'll do a video. And that's my consolation. It makes up for laziness of not wanting to turn up to events. And,

I mean, nothing says, sorry, I couldn't be there like a video. I don't know when these play. I don't know who

listens to them, pays attention to them. I think we've got some of them right now. We've got some of Jono's videos that he's been recording secretly. Have a listen. Hi, everyone.

When you montage it together it doesn't sound good You just said you're not sorry you couldn't be there Yeah so that, you're not Well it's like why do I need to turn up to, you know, Dennis' hip replacement surgery? No one's inviting you to Dennis' surgery. I just made that scenario up. But I'm sorry I couldn't be there, Dennis.

Hey, here's an idea right now, because you'll be doing all these on the fly. Who wants a video from Jono? Let's make you work for it. If you want a video from Jono for anything that's upcoming, birthdays, whatever. I won't turn up. Make that clear.

I'm happy to jump in the video or not, but it's mainly about you right now. Are you sorry you can't be there? Well, yeah, I am genuinely sorry. I'll try and make it there. How about that time that you were doing community service and you ended up at a primary school? Yes. And the mother came up to you, the mother of a child, said,

oh, it's so nice of you to turn up here and help out. And you failed to mention that you were doing it thanks to court appointed. Oh, no, what a year. I didn't get into that part of the conversation. I just agreed with her that it was nice of me to turn up. It was nice of me to turn up. That's the only way you'll get Ben Boyce there, is if he has to fulfil community service obligations.

It's disappointing me to do that. Did you get her to sign your time sheet? No, she couldn't do it. It had to be the organiser, mate. Okay. So, yes, if you have an event coming up, 0800 the hits. What's the video?

What's the video for? Weddings, birthdays, you name it. Fundraisers. We'll lend our crappy names to your video right now. Well wishes. 4487. Nothing bleaker than two people trying to do their own cameo With no money Totally free Your chance to get a video

There'll be no one calling it I bet you
