podcast welcome to the john owen bean podcast uh welcome to the john owen podcast uh brought to you by challenge petrol service stations now joel when i start and then you restart do you leave all of this in yeah so we get the double starts no edits it's all it's all in there no edits on the podcast maybe we should have a couple of edits on the podcast a little behind the scenes is kind of like the start of the podcast then Then we get into the radio show. But I wanted to bring something here from New Zealand Lockdown Memes. They're very good memes. They do a lot of great, very funny stuff on the internet. We're not in lockdown though.

No, but they started. That's where they started. They moved on to other stuff. But that was their brand, I guess they state. The problem is we suffered the same fate because we used to have a segment on television. And it was based off the X Factor. like the x factor is a massive talent show we need to have our own segment which is our own take on it we're like we'll do something called next actor which is like actors in stores and we're talking yeah talking in the area pieces and they they muck

around with the customers but the problem is x factor the tv show disappeared and then we branched out for more than just actors we had sports people we had comedians but we were still under the next actor everyone was like what is this called next actor

you're like oh yeah because it was back anyway I'm sure the lockdown memes are going to suffer the same way well they're still doing great stuff but they had a little

bingo grid yesterday to say how effing annoying are you bingo so you basically can tick off the ones that you think you're annoying. So if you do these things, according to New Zealand lockdown memes,

you're annoying. Now, a lot of them I was reading through with us in mind. I thought we're not DJs. Although, are we DJs? Because DJ is one of them. According to them, that's... Are they referring to a behind-the-decks DJ or are they referring to a behind-the...

So I'm like, do we give ourselves that one? Low-level radio DJ. Vegan? Vegan? None of us are vegan. I would say any DJ probably falls into an annoying category. Okay, so we ticked the one. I want to see who's the most annoying out of the four of us.

I'll just go through some of them. Does anyone have high-fashion coffee table books? No? No, I don't have a high-fashion. Okay. Crossfitter? No one high fashion coffee table books? No? No, I don't have a high fashion. Crossfitter? No one's a crossfitter? No. Well, you do know when people are. Birkenstocks? Okay, someone's got Birkenstocks.

Mate, you're always getting free concert tickets. Get your free tickets, let me know though, if anyone's gotten there. Yeah, so what are we there? I think that's probably...

So basically everyone in 2023 is annoying. Yeah, in some way, shape or form. This is what we've summarised. Including us as well, you know. We don't have a fitness account. We're not real estate agents, but we do do a lot of these other things. What do you think is the most annoying thing you do?

I've got a couple that I could get the ball rolling yeah you're gonna bring it up anyway my breathing through my nose yeah which he doesn't like I expel air through my nostrils I like to just clear the banks out and yeah I'm like a little little ferret I and I talk loud when I'm typing. I type like when I'm, when I'm typing, I'm repeating it out loud. I imagine you're like, you're like me at home though.

You're always doing, doing, you know, doing stuff and that, that can really annoy other people. Like that can really. What do they call it? Active relaxing.

Yeah. And I put stuff into piles. If I'm like at the table, I'm like, oh, it's mixing up the kid's homework with my wife's paperwork with bills and stuff. I'm piling table i'm like oh it's gonna get you know it's mixing up the kids homework with my wife's paperwork with bills and stuff i'm piling it all up putting it away putting it in a cupboard or whatever like that putting it in a drawer it doesn't matter i'm just the same as you

i feel relaxed when everything's all good and in order yeah and nothing's ever all good in order so you're always having to relax yourself by sorting out stuff you're right ben the amount of stuff where you're like where's that thing and i'm like i don't know and you get the question have you seen it and i'm like i probably have but i can't remember no i haven't seen that put it in a pile somewhere in a cupboard so that's something annoying what's the most annoying thing you think you do producer joel probably just being such a chilled out level-headed guy it just annoys everyone else so much you know well there you're so you're so relaxed you are quite chill maybe also not wearing shoes to work I sneeze a lot I'm allergic to a lot of things

and I often sneeze quite a lot I would say that ever since we've worked with Joel we're still in the last break I would say ever since we've worked with Joel

you're going on a year and a year probably yeah almost a year do you know it's also a year sorry since the tinfoil protests finished

I know how much has happened in a year it doesn't seem like a year ago How much has happened in a year? It doesn't seem like a year ago. I was down there, mate, a year ago, just getting it done, getting to work. But anyway, what I was going to say,

and maybe that's why. I have never not known you not to be sick. You have been permanently sick, and maybe it's because you didn't get the vaccination. And you just took a stand against it. But also, yesterday I was thinking about that. I was like, man, I've never had a sick day. I've never eaten, but you've been to work sick every day. I said my allergies flare up.

I'm allergic to bad humor. All right, enjoy the podcast. Thanks for the antihistamines. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Thanks for so much for hanging out with us this morning. Yeah, lovely to have you with us. Lovely to have you with us. I've made a fatal mistake, which I think many have made when you go shopping and you think you just got a dot in

grab a couple of things yeah you know and you're like i can do this without the help of a trolley i'll just go a basket sometimes you even ignore the the offering of a basket you're like i can do this yeah yeah nature's basket my arms yeah. Yeah, you're right. But by the end of my basket tour of the supermarket, it felt like a 70 kg kettlebell. You know, you're kind of dragging,

you're leaning down on one side and other shoppers walk past and they're like, I've been there, buddy. I've been there. They got that sympathetic look.

Yeah. No, I know. Yeah, you're right. Sometimes you do walk in and you're like, I don't even need the basket and you just end up piled up with things.

When you've got the hands, I know, it's like you're balancing a giant Jenga set. Yeah. Yeah. They also need to put baskets around. Like another one, just move through. Yeah, an emergency trolley section. Yeah, or just something somewhere else.

Oh, I stuffed up, but you guys have played me real good in the shop and I've got more stuff than I needed. It's always fun when you take someone else's trolley by mistake too. That's always a fun little game. You don't realise until a couple of hours later, hold on, I did not buy pads.

I have no need for pads. And then you're like, because they might have a couple of items similar from the fruit and produce section. We're all chucking bananas in there, aren't we? Everyone gets very, very confused by that. That's the thing about humans is I think we're so optimistic when you walk through

the doors you're like I can pull this off with just my arms or just a basket it's like when you get home and you're like there might be five meters from the

boot of the car to the house but you're on a mission to take every bag of shopping yeah you can't go you can't go back and do another trip you're like one load

we're gonna load up yeah I'd folded all the clothes on the weekend, like all of them, and I was like, oh, I've got to take them to the room. And I piled them up. It was like a pyramid on my arms. And they all collapsed and all unfolded on the stairs. I was like, if I just one trip, come back down,

there's only another 30 seconds. Exactly. Mental. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. 6.12 Thursday morning it's Justin Bieber who officially cancelled his New Zealand

and Australia concerts. Remember it was meant to be the end of last year and there was some health concerns that he decided not to do the concerts and there was some hope

between those you know the Bieber fans out there they was going to pick it up and come back but he's officially cancelled so hopefully he's doing okay.

Yeah. No one was happier about that concert cancellation than Ben Boyce who had paid for a lot of tickets to a lot of concerts he went crazy after lockdown he's like

gotta get out there and just go to concerts and I love I love Justin Bieber big fan of Justin Bieber so I was looking forward to it but then I we booked a family trip

to go overseas and then we're like yeah we can't really afford to go to all these concerts now so hey money back from that where did you go again sorry? no

when you went overseas I don't know I can't remember you saved up money can't remember I don't know if it was you were sick I couldn't be anywhere

he's so scared of mentioning America and the USA now for that jingle now the All Blacks it seems like a huge they're in disarray. The NZRU, Ben, sports talk. Not happy yesterday in an announcement, a big announcement. Yeah, in Foster, the All Blacks coaches confirmed

he will not reapply for the All Black job. So they've already said after the World Cup, the job's, you know, about who wants it. He could apply for it. Anyone could apply. I think they're going to be making an announcement within the next few weeks or so, four to six weeks, of who's going to be the coach after the World Cup. But he's, like, contracted to be the coach into the World Cup.

So he must be like, oh, I feel a bit sorry for him. And I think he was saying, well, can we start this process after we've been through the World Cup? We might win. Yeah, he's like, what if I win? You'll probably want to chuck me in World Cup? We might win. Yeah, he's like, what if I win? Yeah. You'll probably want to chuck me in for another 12 months or something. Yeah.

My theory is that they're hedging bets. So the NZRU are like, oh, we don't want the public to turn on us. So if we appoint a new coach before the World Cup, things don't go as planned at the World Cup and we don't win. Hopefully we do win. but if we don't then the fans will be like, oh well there's a new chapter coming, there's a new page to turn. It just

seems unusual, I understand if he was stepping down himself, he was like, hey the World Cup's the end of my coaching, then it feels like that's the time now to go who's the next player? He's like, I'm still keen I've still got a bit of life in me the old dog. Very sorry for him. But I thought we sorted

all the Ian Foster issue out last year. Wasn't there a big hoo-ha about that last year? No. Where we were all like, ooh. Yeah, they were like, who's going to be coach? Oh, he's going to carry on. Yeah.

I thought that was all solved. No, apparently not. So four to six weeks, they must be doing, fair enough, he's not going for job interviews. He probably could see the fact that he probably wasn't going to get it afterwards.

But maybe there'll be the motivation to make the All Blacks win the World Cup. Maybe there'll be a positive thing. But I feel a bit sorry for Ian Foster. It's a bit of a dog move, isn't it, from your employer? Yeah. Producer Humphrey just gave a wonderful analogy. Really brought things closer to home for us. He did.

He's like, it's like if our bosses here at The Hitch said, hey, Fletch, Vaughan and Hay know, our bosses here at The Hitch said, hey, Fletch, Vaughn and Hayley, they're going to be taking over from Jono and Ben in 2024. But we're still with you guys. We're still backing you. Still want some good results this year. When he said it, I made me think maybe conversations had gone on. You said this really quickly. Yeah. And there was no sort of confusion over what show would be jumping in.

No. Like, yeah. Yeah. Out of all the shows he could have plucked out as an example, he just went, oh, that's. And the example came

of like, we just started going, hey, how about Ian Foster? And he's like, you know what it would be like. Yeah,

I'm a bit worried about that now. Yeah. So do you want to reply? Well, I can reply for the job, but it sounds like they're already.

Do you want to do a text poll? Yeah. Is this a dog move from the New Zealand Rugby Union? 4487. Okay.

Well, Producer Joel You got your hand up How about another poll Would you prefer Fletch, Ford and Haley On the hits breakfast Or John Owen Bairn Two polls running

At the same time Okay It's a simultaneous poll Both dog moves Both dog moves I'll say One more so Than the other

We won't drill down On which But yeah okay Who would you prefer Fletch, Ford and Haley On the hits breakfast Maybe don't answer that one I don't yeah, okay, who would you prefer, Fletchford and Hayley on their hits? Maybe don't answer that one. I don't know if I can deal with that crushing blow to my ego. At 6.20 in the morning.

And is this a dog move from the Roku Union? Dog moves all round. Double bulbs early in the morning. Who would do this? I wonder they'd take it over from us. It is the hits you got, Jono and Ben. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. One Republic coming to New Zealand in a couple of weeks, which is very exciting, Wellington and Auckland.

Yeah, and we're doing Is It Too Late to Apologise? And we found out this week it's not too late to apologise. It's also never too early to apologise. Waking people up. It's true apologising. We never apologise for the early call. It's true, actually. Yeah, so if you've done something, you know, as a kid that you want to apologise to your parents about,

you can register at the hitstockco.nz and apologise and you'll get some tickets to One Republic. Is it too late to apologise after 10.30 at night? Okay, you've just gone to bed and I phone you up. I'm like, hey, mate, I'm sorry, are you like, oh, it's too late? Yeah, no, that would be that. Yeah, yeah, I'd say that would be quite late. For me and my job, you know, getting up early in the morning, that's a bit late. Nine o'clock? Yeah, nine o'clock I Yeah, that would be that. Yeah, I'd say that would be quite late. For me and my job, getting up early in the morning, that's a bit late, mate.

Nine o'clock? Yeah, nine o'clock, I can take an apology from you. A nine-peat apology? Yeah. Not too late there. Let's go to the phones this morning. Joining us is Cole. Welcome.

How are you? Good. How are you? Yeah, lovely to have you on. Jeez, a lot going on in your place. Where are you right now? Just on a building site right now. Yeah, you can hear this. Is hear the skill saw in the background.

Yeah, just trying to move to a more quiet spot. It's all good. We like the sound of it. It makes us seem like we're, you know, a bit more of a cooler show. Was it actually a skill saw? Did I actually nail the... I would have no idea.

I think it might be a concrete saw. Nah, it's definitely a skill saw. Yeah, that sounds like it. Yeah, you can hear it happening there. So, Cole, welcome to the show. It's great to have no idea. I think it might be a concrete saw. Nah, it's definitely a skill saw. Yeah, that sounds like it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You can hear it happening there. So, Cole, welcome to the show. It's great to have you on. Is it too late to apologise?

You can get to OneRepublic. What do you need to apologise to your parents for? Something that happened years ago. All right, well, very, very long time ago. We were still living at our old rental property. My dad had this little workshop separate from the house that he would keep all his tools and stuff in. And so he liked tinkering in there,

and my brother and I would go in there with him and tinker with him. And at this point in time, he had showed us some methylated spirits that he had put into a squirty bottle okay this is sounding spicy here we go so he would use it for stripping paint or whatever he needed it for and he's that skill source um spray it in the air and then light it using propane torch just to make like a little fireball, you know, to sort of entertain us. Yep, yep. And left us unsupervised. Went to go mow the lawns.

And at that point, my brother and I were like, okay, we know how to do this. We're professionals now. Oh, no. Grabbed the spirits and grabbed the propane torch. And then we ended up getting a little bit too close to the hay bales, which were stacked in the corner of the building. Lit the hay bales on fire. Oh, gosh.

Ended up catching the entire building on fire. Oh, jeez. Yeah, smoke bellowing out of the building. And it was just a bit of a mess. Dad had to come running in and save us. The old amateur pyrotechnics. Sometimes it can really bite you, can't it, when you give that a go? So I imagine you apologised profusely when it happened years ago.

Are you still apologising? So at the time, I think I would have been about four years old, so I don't think I even remember apologising to him. Oh, right, so you haven't apologised. So maybe it was, is it too late to apologise? We'll find out, I guess, if you want to apologize right now for a double pass for One Republic. Now, we're going to go through to your dad, Jacques. All right, let's do it.

Hello. Jacques, it's Jono and Ben from the Hits radio station. How are you? Yeah, not too bad, man. Yourself? Yeah, not too bad, Jacques. Hey, Jacques, we've got your son on the Yeah, not too bad, man. Yourself? Yeah, not too bad, Jacques. Hey, Jacques, we've got your son on the phone, Cole.

Yeah. Hi. He would like to apologise for something that happened a few years ago. Yeah. Do you remember back at our old house, Alex and I went into the workshop, playing with a little bit of fire and ended up catching it all alight? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, well.

Yeah, I just thought I'd apologise because I don't think that I have, so. Oh, there's a long list of things you haven't apologised for. He started with catching the house on fire. What else did he apologise for? Was there anything worse than that? Well, I don't know. Him and his brother going down the motorway on their dirt bikes with their mates on the back with a torch for a headlight.

Okay, yeah. Okay, I think you're dropping your son, aren't you? Okay. I could listen to this for hours. Hey, Bajak, we're wondering, is it too late for him

to apologise or do you accept the apology? Yeah, no, I accept the apology. It's always good to hear that they actually have the balls to say they they're sorry oh he's got a double pass now to uh one republic they sing too late to apologize so he can go along there thank you so much for being a good sport about it all no no worries we'll we'll play a song and listen to all of cole's

indiscretions uh during this music break you have a great one. You too, mate. See you, mate. You can register at thehits.co.nz if you want to go to OneRepublic when they're in New Zealand. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. We've been talking a wee bit about ChatGPT recently,

the artificial intelligence software. You can just type things in and within a matter of seconds, it spits out, I mean, if you want an essay on something, you want facts on things, it's pretty incredible what it does. Now, for once in our tech career, Ben, I was the one to get onto it before you. Yeah, you were.

And I was banging on about it, and you were like, ugh. And then now you've got onto it, and you're loving ChatGPT. Well, it's a lot of fun. Like, yeah, like, as I said before, it's pretty impressive. You can say, write me something on the Sky Tower or something like that, and it'll write a whole essay on that. You know, things like that. But then I like going.

You know, fun things to have for dinner for the entire. It would do you a meal plan for seven days, you know, in about five seconds. We had a little bit of fun yesterday where we got to write us a whole radio little chat, didn't we? With ball jokes around you. And I was, you know, that was not me. I was just the mouthpiece for chat GPT, you know. It was things like, you know, you're so bald that people use your head as a disco ball.

Yeah, well, that's good. I've got a lot of new jokes, thanks to chat GPT around your bald head now. But yesterday I thought I'd put in some fun facts about you because you've done this for me previously before when I was like, eh, chat GPT me previously before when I was like, eh, ChatGPT. But then yesterday I was like, oh, then tell me some fun facts about Jono Pryor. Are there fun facts?

Well, fun facts, things I didn't even know about you. What I've found with ChatGPT, it's like it's in the ballpark of being correct. Especially with the fun facts. It's probably in the car park of the ballpark. It's not in the actual ballpark. Well, fun facts. I feel like all these fun facts that I'm going to read out now are wildly inaccurate.

But maybe not. I don't know. Because maybe this is the truth. Full disclosure, I'll tell you the truth. Okay. So Jono Pryor is a well-known media personality in New Zealand. A career that spans over two decades. Well known with a question mark.

No, well known. A career that spans over two decades. Well, it's well known with a question mark. No, no, well known. A career that spans over two decades. And here are some fun facts about him. Jono was born September 25th, 1972. Well, within the decade. Yeah. Within a 10 year mark. Yeah.

So it would make you what? 50, what? Yes. Maybe they're just going off what I look like. The advanced intelligence. Yeah. He's really in his 50s. So yeah, they're quite a bit off for that one.

Okay. Jono and his wife, former model Kelly Pryor. I'm sorry. They starred in a reality TV show called Jono and Ben 10. I feel like I was on that show and I don't remember once you and your model wife, former model wife coming on that. The show followed their daily lives as they balanced work, family, and their celebrity status. Is it keeping up with the Kardashians, but we've got this third wheel Ben who kind of lingers around.

Jon is known for his charity work. Yeah, I mean, he did some stuff last week, which was great. Yeah, great for the CV. Chuck the end of the CV. Philanthropy. But in 2014, something I didn't know about you, you and your wife, former model Kelly Pryor,

climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to raise money for the mental health charity The Key to Life Trust, which I've never heard of. Kilimanjaro seems like a war. Finally, John O'Prior is the father of five children and often shares funny stories and anecdotes

about his family life on the radio show and social media. Five kids. Okay, again. Keep Kelly and the kids quiet. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. At 6.60, they're playing Dunedin this weekend, which will be incredible.

I saw them in Auckland and it was amazing. So if you're in the area, go along to see 6.60 this weekend. Someone else who's coming, who's going to be performing in New Zealand over the next couple of weeks, Snoop Dogg, just touched down in Australia ahead of his gig in New Zealand the following week and was in the car and thought, because he's down under, he was singing along to this song. I'm coming down, I'm down.

Half-hearted performance. Hey, it's Australia. F***ing animal. Yeah, he's... I find that for a guy who's smoked copious amounts of weed throughout his life, he's becoming more charismatic the older he gets. Yeah. He's becoming more like,

hey, guys, I'm here on a cooking show with Martha Stewart. You're right, actually. So he's coming to New Zealand? Yeah, he's going to be in New Zealand, not this weekend, but the following weekend. He hasn't been in New Zealand since 2008. He hasn't performed by himself since 2008, but he was here for a big day out in 2014 when he was known as Snoop Lion.

Remember that? Oh, he had that little reggae period. That's right. And everyone's like, just do gin and juice. I don't care about your reggae. But yeah, he's done a wonderful job of just staying relevant, hasn't he Snoop Dogg? And he gets cooler the older he gets. I know. What have we done?

We've kind of lost a huge, huge amount of credibility. He's gained it. And then I'm like, I was never cool. I mean, he's remained cool and you're right it got cooler yeah how does that work I don't know

even my kids oh Snoop Dogg's so cool you know what do I be mate yeah I'm younger than Snoop Dogg I can do TikToks with the best of them

TikTok dancing I can half-heartedly sing to Land Down Under imagine the imagine the pressure of supplying his marijuana demands for when he's here in New Zealand.

Who would that fall upon? Ben Boyce, I know you've got some stuff happening in your roof. Are they calling you? I'm not getting involved. Because remember, how much is it a day? It's a wild amount of blunts per day. It's not legal here, John. Come on. He'll know that. He'll know the results.. It's not legal here, John. Mate, come on.

He'll know that. He won't be having any of it. He'll know the results. He won't be having any of it. No, I can't imagine. He'll be like, I'll come in and I'll respect the fact that New Zealand,

this is not legal, and I'll be heading away to a place that is legal to partake. 75 to 150 blunts a day. He's going to have to cut right back to... To zero. To zero when he's here, day. Well, he's going to have to cut right back to zero

when he's here, mate. Yeah, right. 75 to 100. That's a lot, mate. That is like a light day's 75. He'd be having withdrawals if he couldn't. But like you say, Ben, he knows the rules. He knows the rules.

We had our charts. Don't bring your apples into the country or you'll fill your wacky, wacky grass. Thank you very much, Snoop Dogg. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. One Direction, of course, Harry Styles, formerly of One Direction, going to be in New Zealand in a couple of weeks' time.

And his started on tour, he's like, I'm not going to drink. I'm going to sleep 10 hours a day.

The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. TikTok is, you know, a pretty addictive app. And now for people under 18, they've got a new feature that you can't use it for more than 60 minutes a day to reduce the amount of time that those under 18 are on it. Otherwise, they can put a passcode in and use it for a bit longer. Oh, so they all just need to figure out what the passcode is. Well, you know, parents can set a passcode. One lazy day, they'll be like, hey, what's the passcode?

You're like, hey, fortunate. You're like, ah. Exactly. You just want them to. some days you want your kids to be on tiktok for 20 hours you know it's something you just want to breathe let the device do the babysitting but uh thank you for the uh the chinese government for enforcing that that's wonderful now about our kids we need to uh get into a bit of discussion that we're having off the radio yesterday and we thought we'd bring in on the air um something that i want to do and you were like hey it's not the done thing i don't believe it's kosher you were

clearly gifted something and now you're trying to turn it into profit well yeah it wasn't the intention like uh i got given a couch from my mate a little while back and we used it but now it was one of those things that i said yes to my wife wife, Amanda, was kind of like, because we do need a couch. And I went, great. He was giving it away. I was like, great, we'll use that. But she wasn't really a fan of this couch. You never look a gift couch in the mouth.

That's the old saying. So you took the couch. Took the couch. And now I'm like, well, we don't want the couch anymore. So I'm like, hey, well, let's sell it. And you're like, well, no, because. It was gifted to you under the premise of the person who gave it to you. And I don't know who it was.

They were like, this is the generosity from me. I'm not making any profit on this. And you're like, hey, thanks for your free couch, buddy. I'm going to turn that into some dineros. Do they care? They don't want it. The couch is gone. Like, you know, it's off their hands.

And it's sitting under my gone like you know that it's off their hands it's out of it's and it's under it's sitting under my bum you know you know it's i feel like you know you've given produce producer joel uh quite a few items yeah i've given you a rice cooker which uh it was actually it uh a bit fire hazard there just be careful with that one but would you be upset well obviously you would be if joel decided to sell these items absolutely i would? I wouldn't put myself in the upset category. I'd list under miffed. A miffed. A miffed. A good word, miffed.

Okay, you'd be a little miffed. Would you sell it? No, never, man. Where is it? Definitely not sitting under my desk. Don't look at the desk. That's even worse than selling it. I thought, hey, there's a new young guy here.

I'll help him out. Offload all your crap that you don't want. He's like, I can't be probably going to the dump. Don't want to turn into landfill. You can do that, mate. All right, so there is the question. Oh, under the hats, you've been given something. Any item at all, are you allowed to sell it?

Well, my issue is with you don't know the history of that couch, do you? His granddad could have fought in the war on that couch. He would have kept it. It could have been conceived on that couch. If I've given something to you or whoever, I'm like, it's yours now. You do what you want with it. But obviously you feel different. I do feel different.

You can't sell something you've been given. Ben, you're clearly like, I could profiteer off anything that I have been given. And that's where the divide sits. Okay. This is where you come in. 0800 The Hits, 4487. Could I make it any clearer? The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.

New Zealander of the Year finalists have just been announced and included in the mini-finalists. The likes of the Top Twins, Ruby Toohey, John Kuhn as well. So congratulations to all the finalists. Pretty awesome. I nominated you did you I put you forward

did you get any traction there no no traction for me maybe because I'm trying to sell a couch there to my mate Gabe me

and a lot of people saying you can't do that for services to you know turning a profit turning a profit Kiwi Bank New Zealand are the year

with banks yeah banks finances want to return a profit that's what I'm doing. So I was given an item a few months ago now. I feel like I've had it for a while. Now I'm like, well, hey, my mate didn't want it.

I now don't want it. Can I sell this item? Yeah, so I've said no, you can't. Morally, you can't. Legally, you can do what you want with it. It's in your possession. You haven't stolen the couch. I understand that.

My other thing I want to ask you is, what happens when your dear dear generous couch giving friend comes over to your house and they're like hey where's the couch oh yeah you're gonna have to i sold it you're what yeah you're gonna have to have that conversation yeah it's all fine and dandy having this conversation on the radio not having to face them that's a good point that's a good point we'll go to the phone jesus has really struck the cord struck a chord in the hearts of new zealanders we'll go to anna in taranaki good morning anna good morning guys how are you we're bloody good are we are we selling this couch are we hocking it off or we can't well personally i say no it's the moral thing. However, the other option... I like this other option.

Yeah, what's the other option? You do sell it, but as soon as you've sold it and got the money, you offer the other friend half the money. Ooh, OK. I like the but. OK, that's good. I think that's... Now, it's up to that person if they accept or not,

and then you are not so morally decrepit. Because at the moment, he is decrepit. Yeah, that's a good word. People say that a lot about me. One word to describe Ben Boyce, decrepit. Hey, good on you, and you go and have a great day in New Plymouth, all right? Thank you for your call. Justin, what are we saying?

Are we hocking off the couch, Justo? Definitely not, eh? Not? Okay, so if someone did this to you, so if you were the person giving away the couch, would you be a bit miffed, as Jairo said before? No, I wouldn't be miffed. The couch is given to you,

so there's other people out there that need it that don't have anything you know so just pass it on that's a good idea that's actually a really nice idea there's a lot of people

without couches at the moment yeah mate that's it you got the charity cord humming there Justin very good very good call yeah Michelle

let's get you on from Greymouth in the west coast are we selling the couch or not, Michelle? Sell it. Sell it. She's like, I don't care about that charity stuff.

Sell the couch, mate. Have you done this yourself? Have you ever been given anything that you've later sold? Yeah, and I've also given a lot of stuff away, and people have sold it, and once I've given it to them, it's up to them what they do with it. I have no problem with it. That's what I think as well. If I was in the same situation, I'm like, I don't care once I've given it to them, it's up to them what they do with it. I have no problem with it. That's what I think as well.

If I was in the same situation, I'm like, I don't care. I've given it away. I had my chance to sell it, and now I've given it away. Yeah. Yeah, but you've not only used the couch, but then you've had the benefits of the couch. Yeah. Your bottom, it looks freshly settled.

You know, you look very relaxed. Very relaxed tush at the moment. And now you're like, oh, I'll spend some cash off this as well, of this situation, of another person. But you're helping out the other person as well, because obviously they didn't want that. You shush, Michelle. They didn't want to get rid of it.

I like Michelle. I like Michelle. Put Michelle on mute somehow. Hey, good on you, Michelle. Really appreciate your call. You go and look after Grey Mouth for us, okay? Okay. You have a great day.

You too. So what are you going to do? Oh, well, I feel like... Oh, Ponder. Ponder. Giving it away seems like a good option, you know, now. Maybe I've got the guilt. Yeah, mine's Justin because he's like, you know, there's a lot of people there. Yeah, give it away.

The Hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. There's The Hits. Jono and Ben. Good morning. Now, Harry Styles is going to be in New Zealand in a couple of weeks' time. March 7th. It's going to be incredible, Mount Smart Stadium. But a lot of people snapping up items, not just in New Zealand, but around the world for Harry Styles, and that's feather boas. Colourful feather boas.

Now, he's been known to wear them out and about before, and so people love to wear them for the concert. Apparently, even places like Party World and Christchurch are seeing a huge demand for the boas. Yeah, it's great. Great when you get into a game that has a huge resurgence, like the Tongan flag manufacturers. They've experienced some beautiful highs over the last few years

when Tonga plays as well. Yeah, so stocks are low. They stocked up. Apparently, places like Look, Sharp Spot, they all stocked up Before Elton John as well They were like This is our feather boa season It's feather boa season

Flamboyant boa season Who was making the feather boas It's like Oh, ching ching Here we go I think I've got some feather boas In my cupboard We should get some away

We could go around Oh, okay Bring them in first Remember, don't start Giving them away first Prior before you bring them in Oh, yeah You do that

And then four weeks later Someone's like, well, Harry Styles has been and gone, but I'm still waiting for my feather boa. Yeah, I've got to check in history with handing out prizes. What happened? Oh, towels, beach towels. You've got so many beach towels.

You gave away a whole afternoon of radio. We were on a radio station. You gave away towels, and then all these people never got to see towels. And then we came here. Someone else got in touch with us. Poor old producer B- Beeham said to tidy up my mess he wasn't even part of it

but Harry Styles I thought it was pretty cool he's in Melbourne at the moment and he was spotted out and about just having a coffee at a local cafe and everyone was like

poor guy does he put the coffee in his mouth like the rest of us yeah but the poor guy was in line paying for it himself and people were like

photos things and then he sat outside with another guy outside and you know like by the road and the footpath traffic going past

just sitting out there having a coffee I was like it's Harry Styles would you say that in the coffee shop would you be like that's Harry Styles

I probably would I'd be very yeah well that's good so what do you want us to do what's your message to Altiero are we playing it cool

we'll play it cool because then he might be out and about more. But I would be. I could play it cool if I saw Harry Styles. I'd be, yeah. But I'd like to think I'd play it cool. Yeah, would you make him put on Bunnings hats, drink out of your shoe, that sort of thing?

What have we decided we're going to do, too? What are we throwing on stage? Oh, for Harry, something Kiwiana for him to do. It feels like the Aussies own the shoeys. Yeah, it feels like they've got've got they've got the Bunnings hat as well which is a good play Juicy Joel's holding up

his discussing manky Birkenstock sandal I don't think Harry Stolz is going to put his lips near your Birkenstocks we'll keep working on that one

they've done what have they done a summer worth of festivals those Birkenstocks Harry Stolz stay well away from those the hits the Jono and Ben podcast. Celebrity Treasure Island was

last night won by Matty McLean. I just think about little me watching this show not believing in himself today. I think for the first time ever, I really have a belief in myself. Oh, such a lovely moment. It's great to have you. Matty McLean. What are you like,

God? Oh, God. I'm like, God, I really needed to rehydrate after that time because I shed a lot of tears on that island. Well, you would have been exhausted. You'd been there a long time. Yeah, totally. It was everything, right? It was like we were so tired, so exhausted.

I'd run my little heart out that day on that beach. Because you are genuinely a fan of the show. It means a whole lot more. The world. Truly. Like, I started watching the show when I was maybe 11 or 12. I fell in love with it and have loved it ever since. To get to play it and then to go all the way to the final

and actually to dig up the treasure was honestly, like, screw Paris 2024. Like, this is my Olympics, you know? You got gold. You got gold. Well, same before because obviously, well, no one really knows you go on the show until it actually comes out and then everyone will be asking, how did you do?

And you have to kind of, well, you would have to almost lie to people. Yeah, it turns out I'm really good at it. Jack Tame, your dear friend, he was quizzing. He's an investigative journalist Yes, I know And he's used to getting answers as well He's good at getting answers So I had to

I had so many different lies going to different people It was quite hard to keep track of But I said to him Because I am quite a bad secret keeper And we've been friends for like 18 years So he knows how bad of a secret keeper i am so i said to him do you really think i could have made it all this way without telling you the result so he kind of kept wavering but yeah he was quite cocky last night when he realized i actually had

one what's the most common question you get asked going on the show like you must be answering the same thing apart from the fact how did you go how did you go do they really not feed you the people don't people don't believe that we don't stay in the hut yeah i saw you on your instagram the other day yeah they really don't believe it like they think that we at the end of the day go to a resort get fed have sleeps in beds and then go back and start filming the next day that'd be a dream celebrity't it would be amazing celebrity pleasure island just a pleasurable experience maybe not as dramatic television but still great pleasurable meal exactly how much of the game is strategy how much is luck oh um that's a really good question i reckon honestly 50 50 you need to you need to know what to how to play the game and you need to have an idea of how to get to the end and you need to make um like form connections and make

alliances and all that kind of stuff but at the end of the day there's so many variables so you can play the game as hard as you want but if you go into an elimination arena and the challenge just doesn't quite work for you then you're It doesn't matter how many alliances you have. So yeah, I think luck is huge. Willpower is, as I found insane, like you,

yeah, I just needed to have total belief in myself. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah. It's amazing what you've done. Tell you who's a bloody smiling assassin. Savali.

Oh, jeez. He plays a good game. You get hooked into his web. It's amazing what you've done Tell you who's a bloody Smiling assassin Savali Oh lads Geez He plays a good game You get hooked into his web I know You can't escape it His eyes

That wasn't our intention at all. I see what you boys have done. You've got to get sweet, innocent man Clay to say something naughty on the radio. I didn't even think for a second that this could be taken that way at all. So something was happening on the island. What was it?

I think the word you're looking for is power. I never have power in the... And there's one more. One more highbrow clip. The first one comes pretty easily, but the second one I'm spending so much time trying to... What's he spending a lot of time doing? Again, apologies.

That wasn't meant to sound rude. I don't know. No, you can't get it. I don't know what that is. The first one comes pretty easily, but the second one, I'm spending so much time trying to untie it. Untie it. The bags on the pontoon.

And it's the hits. You've got Jono and Ben. The hits. The Jono and Ben car. Oh, my God. It's the hits. You got Jono and Ben. The hits.

The Jono and Ben podcast. It's Megan Trainor, Made You Look. It is the hits. Jono and Ben, 8.06 on your Thursday. The hits, cash and car. You can win a brand new Skoda and all the cash in the back of it. The car's worth just under $48,000 in the cash. Well, we don't know exactly how much cash is inside it.

Cash Keeper Alex does. It was second to last day of cash keeping, and then you're going to hand over the cash keeping to the irresponsible hands of Producer Joel, which I can't wait for this. Because we're going to break him down. You know when you say, oh, they're a safe pair of hands. I don't know what the opposite of a safe pair of hands is,

but they're in those hands. Butterfingers. Sweaty hands. Very sweaty hands. Joel is also the kind of person that knows everything. So if you need to know some information or gossip, you go to him and he lets you know straight away. He's quite well connected, isn't he?

He's the office good times guy. There's no one who doesn't love talking with Joel Harrison out in the office. Very charismatic man. But you're travelling overseas. You've given up your life of cash keeping. You've left that life behind and you're travelling to South America, Alex. That is true.

The peso. They're running the pesos over there. Will you be keeping an eye on the pesos? Yeah. The peso and Peugeot. The peso protector or something. Okay, let's get someone on to have a guess this morning. We've already had a five words winner this morning.

Imagine if we give away the bloody cash in the car. Caroline, you're on from Nelson. Hey, good morning. Good morning to you, Caro. What are you doing? Getting ready for work. Yeah, thought you'd stop the morning prep to try and win a car and some cash, eh?

Definitely. It's worth it, right? It's bloody worth it, mate. Now, you've been listening to all the clues, you've been piecing it together. We understand you've landed on a figure that you think could be close. Yeah, well, I don't know. The last clue was a bit, well, I went kind of cryptic with it and looking at what other people have guessed, so I was kind of like, yeah, just put it out there.

All right, chuck it out there, Caro. We'll hand you over to the peso protector herself. Here's Alice. Hello, Carolyn. Good morning. What was your guess for how much cash is in the car? So I've guessed $20,503.42. Carolyn from Nelson

with a guess of $20,503 and 42 cents. Was it 42 cents? Yes, it is. 42 cents. That is incorrect and it is lower.

Oh, it's lower. Okay, thank you. Oh, Caroline's lower. Okay, thank you. Oh, Caroline, you sound happy. Is it? Oh, hey, look. It's a good play. It's a good one. Yeah, that's good.

Well, I love this higher-lower, though. It really feels like we start narrowing it down. Yeah, it does. And if you've got those spreadsheets going, it's looking pretty good right now. Well, I'll tell you what, Caroline. We were lucky enough, fortunate enough to experience travelling in the Škoda.

We did. We went to Rotorua on Tuesday and it wasn't even like a seven-hour round trip. It was like a vacation. Yeah. A mobile vacation. We were going to say that night there, but we were like, why would you?

Just keep driving around in this mobile hotel room. That's how good this car is. Hey, go and have a wonderful Thursday, Caro. Well, hey, wonderful. Thanks, guys. And you have a great day, too. Oh, you're so lovely. Wonderful.

We've worked on stations where they're like, yeah, OK, get lost again. But everyone on the heads is like, oh, have a lovely day. It's great, isn't it? I almost think it's sarcasm. Me too. I'm not used to this loveliness, that's for sure.

Another chance, 11 o'clock this morning. I can't wait for cashkeeper Joel to come on in later in the week. He's got no faith in you, Joel. I do. What was the figure again? He's going to write on a post that he's going to lose it somewhere in the office. I know it. The Hits, the Jonah and Ben podcast.

Now, we just gave away $5,000 before. So we'll check in and see. I still feel a little like shaken up by that. It was pretty awesome. It was a pretty emotional moment and we're going to talk to the lady very shortly. You couldn't get a more deserving winner. Now Ben Boyce

I need to bring something up. We went to something the other night and I feel like I might have made a huge mistake in a social setting all right okay um it was so an event that we went to we just mentioned before in rotarua oh yeah yeah you know esteemed business people of the uh the community it was actually really cool it was awesome yeah no it was wonderful and uh we had a fun time it was the chamber of commerce there why were we there don't ask questions you know we they needed some keynote speaking some ted talks and they were like who would inspire business people

and then they went probably 50 people below that then 150 and then eventually yeah but it was awesome it was a real honor to be there it was great foreign and they ended up with us but you're right we had a fun time but problem is, you go to an event like that, okay, and they have the name tag system, which is great. First, I want to front for this by saying, love the name tag system. If anything, I propose state-funded name tags all of the time. We all wear name tags, so we're never in that position of awkwardly forgetting someone's name. Love it. I'm on board.

We'll pitch that to the hippo next time we talk to him. Well, if they spend bloody $16 million on a tvnz rnz merger that never happened we can chuck a couple of bullets and name tags yeah but the problem is with name tags not so much for the gentlemen in the room but more the female attendees is they're placed they're placed in a position come on mate come on and you know everyone listening knows where that position is but i'm trying to learn i'm trying to read people's names and i'm starting to get gun shy because i'm like oh it looks like i'm just yeah i'm glancing at an area of the body that yeah i know your eyesight's not great in your old age, but...

And I'm having to get closer to it. And it's like, sorry, is it a show? Like a show? No, in your defence, the font was small. It was small. And I was like, I'm staring for too long. You brought it up because we had to talk. And you're like, hey, this is great.

Thanks for having us here. But if anything, next time, let's not put name tags where... And the lady who was up on stage ended up putting it on her forehead which is a great location

like yeah why don't we just I was playing headbands or something to save any awkwardness any you know anyone being cancelled or any complaints

to human resources we just go hey all name tags go in the middle of the forehead I love it there's no confusion you're staring

okay alright your name's Sarah lovely to meet you Sarah I love it. There's no confusion. You're staring at, okay, all right, your name's Sarah. Lovely to meet you, Sarah. I love it. Hey, next, Anne won five.

You're a wonderful chess, Sarah. Won $5,000. How's she feeling after winning five words for 5K? It was a big day. It is the hits.

The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. It was a lot of fun this morning. Thanks so much for hanging out with us. And Anne,

in our game, five words for $5,000 that we play every morning at 7.45, we had a winner. Anne, still steaming fresh off the wind. How do you feel? I mean, is it sunken yet? Well, I listen every day and I don't hear that very often. No, we don't. I mean, it's a tough game to match all five words and for people to risk it all to go to five words, but you did it.

Well done. Oh, my God, I'm so stoked. Oh, mate. And your family, have you spoken to them? I haven't talked to them yet. I'm still talking to you guys. I'm driving to work. You're driving to work.

Shall we call the fam? Oh, no. I'll ring them saying it's only me. I'm a solo mother with my two kids. So you've got kids, you're running a solo operation, and you're going to take them to Rainbow's Inn, they're going to be pumped. Yeah. Oh, you've made my day more than day.

I'm just wrecked. I struggle. I will live week by week on my wage, so this is just awesome. Oh, very cool. It's great that it means so much, and it's going to such a deserving person. Oh, thank you so much. Oh, and have a great day.

We'll have a good day, because you're a winner today, which is awesome. So we're pumped. I'm pumped. I couldn't even believe I got through to start with. Oh, well, hey, like we said, it couldn't have gone to a better winner. So congratulations, Anne. Thank you. Yeah, Annie, are you okay we said, it couldn't have gone to a better winner. So congratulations, Anne. Thank you. Yeah, Nanny, are you okay?

Yeah, she's doing just fine. Don't you worry about her. And this was the moment, if you missed it, that she actually got the five out of five at 7.45. What was my last word? Library. Oh. 5K.

It's an obvious one, but I think that would get her. Okay, do it. Oh! Come on, Anne. Oh, oh, jeez. Word five, $5,000. The country is rooting for Anne. Let's do it. Okay. You heard the word? Come on.

I feel like it might be one of those ones that trips you up with the obvious one. I've got two variations on it. Don't look at me. I'm not giving you nothing, mate. First thing that pops into my head was books. Yes! Yes!

Great. How good. Oh, so good. So it can be won. $5,000 is back tomorrow with a bit of a difference. Yeah, a bit of a twist. We're adding it to it tomorrow, so tune in at 7.45 to find out what's happening to the five words tomorrow. I love it when you're like

I know. He likes knowing a little bit of information that you don't know It's very exciting. Now I I'm not the greatest at communication you know like for someone that communicates for a job on the radio

Oh no there's areas of your life where you'll emails emails yeah i'm very good on emails prolific email you wouldn't find a more you'd be number one seed emailing in this country yeah i probably do see a lot of emails so probably in that regard and a lot of texts as well but as far as i can't like compete with my parents they're they're definitely sending and calling probably 10 to 1 of me. I'm trying to keep up with it. I'm trying to get better and better, but they're – which is great. But there's less going on for them. Time frees up the older you get.

And I say even as a parent now, I'm going to be exactly like them. My kids – I'll be like bugging my kids because you love them. And I love hanging out with them, and I feel like I'm good in person, but I feel like my dad's a very good communicator. But sometimes. I mean, when was the last time you spoke to your mother, Jenny? That wasn't part of a radio. Oh, actually, recently.

I did actually. I think it was the weekend, actually. I did. But yeah. So before that. Probably a radio bit. I think we called her about something. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. So. She's great on the radio, though. She is very good. And my dad as well And he's very good at communicating But what I've noticed now

Is he'll send a text And if I don't reply He'll send that text Exactly the same word for word text again And then three times now I've got the same text over and over But you haven't responded to Kevin No it hasn't

Clearly the guy, the man is just wanting some form of love back from his son. And you're not giving him anything. Have you seen the text come through all three times? Yeah. Yeah, yes. So you've gone, oh, yep, dad's messaging again. And not once has it thought,

thought has crossed your mind where you thought maybe I should reply. Well, I have. I've thought that I haven't. And that's on me. And that's yeah. But I thought it was a nice way of just reminding, hey, the text, just pop it, just pop it up. It's like a bump when someone puts bump on an email or something. Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

So we're going to go through to Kevin now. Yeah. And see what he wants. And will you reply to him? OK, to Kevin Boyce speaking. If he answers. Did your dad used to answer the landline back in the day with the number of the household?

Yeah. Good morning. Oh, hello. It's your son here, and Jono's here as well. How are you? That's the little guys on the radio, isn't it? That's the little guys on the radio. Just battling away.

Yeah. Just battling with our little radio show here, Kev. Yeah. Is it actually still going? It's always good to talk to a fan. Now, we're just talking about something that I've noticed you've started doing, because I admit I'm not always the best with correspondence, and you're very good with it, Dad.

But now what you've started to do is a nice little way of reminding me they've got in touch sending the same message multiple times good tactic just twice that's three times three times three times but yeah but but to be fair to you kevin bet you've heard nothing back from ben on this question yeah well i think the third time i did get something back and said um what uh didn't get your first two or something like that. I wasn't sure. Yeah. Yeah, that's my whole story. I just saw this message three times on my phone.

No, it's a good tactic, and I need to be better at it. So I thought, you know, it's something I'll try. Well, fair enough, too. And I think once you get some glasses, you'll need three pairs, one for reading, one for general use, and the other one to find the other two pair, which you haven't been using anyway. He's gone into dare joke territory.

Now, Kevin, what was the message? It was about the Blackcaps win. Yeah, so it was a message about... Memories of walking into the Basin Reserve, and Ben is a little guy. We had a pathway for the little boys and girls with their backpacks on, and adults had to go through for their backpacks to be checked. Anyway, I used to put my four cans of beer in Ben's bag,

and he would go through, and I would go through, and of course I'd get the beer in. I think that became your concept of getting the beer in. Get beer into a stadium, yeah. Hey, Kev, I want to confront this by saying I'm on your side, but that's a bloody long text, mate. That's a bloody long text. And I have one last thing to say.

Well, that wasn't all that. Now he's going to get to stories of reminiscing. Use Ben as a child trafficker. Get some cheeky glagas into the base reserve. It was another good story, but I'll tell you that another day about another guy getting... Text it to us. Yeah, text it.

Text it three times. No, it'll be good. All right. Love you, Dad. All right. Love you, Dad. All the best. See you, John.

Bye. See you, mate.
