The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Welcome to the show. This is the 23rd of May, Ben. I noticed the newspaper next to you there. Yeah. Pick a page at random and read us something interesting from the newspaper. I don't care if it's an ad to fly away to Fiji, or if it is the births, deaths and marriages. Well, I've opened it up on the page, which has got the daily quiz.

Oh, okay. Would you like a question from here? I have some marriages. Well, I've opened it up on the page, which has got the daily quiz. Oh, okay. Would you like a question from here? I have some questions. What name is given to the metal bars running across the neck of a guitar? Oh, is that a... The metal bars running across the neck of a guitar? Oh, so the ones that are going...

Across the neck of the guitar. Is that the fret? Yeah, well done, the frets. You did really well then. Okay, what S also known as Renda? Oh no, that's boring. I was just reading questions. Who's that? Bradley Walsh and the Chase.

Oh no, that's a dumb question. On to the next one. That's boring. Who's best known as the lead singer of the iconic punk band Sex Pistols? Sex Pistols. That was Johnny Rotten, wasn't it? You should know. You went to the rock band. Yeah, Johnny Rotten.

Well done. I've found two sort of rock-based questions for you there. You've got two from two, so well done. I can't play guitar. And then we'll do the next one like Jeopardy. Yeah. The answer is New York. What is the question?

The answer is New York. What is the question? The answer is New York. What is the question? Where is Saturday Night Live filmed? Yeah, sure, we'll give you that one. That was actually, known as the Met, what city is the Metropolitan Museum of Art located? So there you go.

That's where they do the old bloody... Met Gala. Met Gala. Yeah, there you go. So that was interesting. Have you guys been to New York? Yeah, it's awesome, eh? Yeah.

We had a whirlwind... You were too taxiing. Yeah, we had a whirlwind 24 hours there, didn't we? Yeah, I think we did. Flew over there to interview none other than Will Smith. We did. It was the cast of Suicide Squad, wasn't it? Walked away from there without being slapped.

So you interviewed him? Yeah. How did it go? He was one of the few on a panel. It was good. It was very quick, though, because we got a little bit of a telling off by someone. Not a little bit of one. We got a roasting.

Okay, tell me what happened. So Jared Leto, obviously 30 Seconds to Mars, a great actor, and we were researching him on the way over there because we had him by himself. He was our first interview, and he was the Joker in Suicide Squad. And so we were a little bit nervous that maybe he wouldn't be on the same wavelength as us, just going, you know,

like we're two idiots from New Zealand. He's an awesome actor. And, you know, we only got four minutes. So we brought over like green, it was like green hairspray and lipstick

because he was playing the Joker. We were like, hey, can you give Jono a Joker makeover in the middle of this interview? And he's like, yeah, I can. And so he sprayed Jono's hair green. He put lipstick on you.

Well, that's a good idea. It stands out. His lipstick is all off the side. And he was great. And he was loving it. He was like, you're late there, don't you, you little bitch. He had a fun time. But then we walked out of there. And we were like, yeah, good interview.

Great interview. We was the one we were most scared of. Yeah. And then, jeez, this lady, this terse lady with a clipboard came up to us. What the fuck was that? We're like, what? What? Yeah.

Yeah, so it was all too gimmicky. It was too silly and stuff. I said, no gimmicks! And I'm being told off with lipstick all over my face and green hair. You're a little joker. But your lips were smiling, but your joker lips were smiling, but your actual lips were frowning.

And they were actually like, you find this funny? You think this is funny? And I can't stop smiling because I've got a permanent smile thanks to the lipstick. And then we had to go... We sat in the corner,

I had some wet wipes and I wet wiped your hair. And we sat for way too long because we had more interviews like Will Smith and Margot Robbie and stuff, and we were like... We had to pull ourselves together. We were so sad and upset,

because we don't want to upset anyone. And he loved it, and we were like, oh, this is great. And it was just like... Oh, were you guys actually really sad? We didn't want to, because we heard horror stories of interviewers

coming over from this side of the world to America, and they don't give you the tapes. They don't give you the recordings if it goes bad. So we're like, oh, God, what if our boss Bronnie has flown us to New York and we don't come back with anything? So did you get it? We got it, but we played it very, very safe for the rest of the interview. So we didn't probably do anything.

Mind you, you got your ass out in front of Margot Robbie. That's right. That's a shame. I was so pleased because they were talking about bad tattoos and the cast had tattooed each other. But I was so, like, pleased. Because that was about, they were talking about bad tattoos and the cast had tattooed each other. And he's like, oh, I tattooed his behind. And then they were like, get it out. And I was like, oh, no, oh, no.

I was like, get it out. I was like, oh, no, but we've just been told off. And we all started chanting, butts out for the girls. Butts out. And it was Cara Delevingne and Margot Robbie, and they liked your bottom. They did. I was like, oh, we are going to be sent home after

that. Fortunately, we weren't. It was all good. And Jared Leto was a great interview. It was a really fun time. So what happened? Well, they got in a letter to put lipstick on him and he got a butt out in front of three girls. We've never been back to New York since. Enjoy the podcast today. It's a real fun show today. We talk about perks that

you get as a kid. We've got some hardcore parents as well. Some of the things that parents do, very, very unusual. And Jono, there's a big surprise happening for you. It's happening on Friday, and it's very... What was the word I used? It wasn't a real word, was it? Oh, no, it said prestige. Mystique.

I got surrounded in mystique. Mystique. I enjoy that on the podcast. Mmm, coffee breath. Jono and Ben on the hits ben we've started a we started something four or five weeks ago and it's gaining some traction getting some good street talk it's jono and ben's motivational monday you know traditionally the old mondays they can be a bit slow to get the engine started can't they yeah yeah you're right yeah and we've trawled

through instagram i just find there's almost an abundance of inspiration on Instagram. Too much. You know, where it starts to, you become numb to all of the... Yeah, you can't go through multiple ones. Because otherwise you just think, you're right, they get a bit like, oh yeah, alrighty. But when you get one, you're like, oh, that's inspiring. And then you keep scrolling, you hear another one, you're like, oh, okay. Like, I watched a guy the other day, and shirtless,less obviously where you get the best inspiration from

like a Nostradamus of 2022 and he was saying never give up and he was almost borderline I think steroid abuse might have been an issue and he's like never give up on your dreams and then he's also like but be happy with what you've got

so I'm like what am I doing am I chasing dreams or am I just happy with the life that I have? So you've got to take a grain of salt with these things, don't you? But it is good to hear one of these on a Monday morning. And you've found this one. You want to bring this one, this Motivational Monday, to the listeners right now? Yeah, no, I don't know who this guy is.

He looks like a mafia boss. He's definitely sent some people to swim with the fish. Right. In the Hudson River. He's in New York. Have a listen to this for Motivational Monday. One thing I learned in life, you can never bring somebody up if they don't want to go up. You can't.

No matter how good you think you are, no matter how much you want to tell them, you can help them. If they don't want to go up, there's nothing you can do. But the reverse is not true. Somebody bad can bring a good person down. They can. Because the negativity in the world is much, much stronger than the positive sometimes. The negative people can bring you down. So I stay away from negative people.

I just walk away from them. There you go. Isn't that inspiring? You can't bring a person up, but they can bring a good person down. Which is, Ben, I don't know where this leaves our relationship. You've been trying to bring me up for years. My negativity has been pulling us through for the last 10 years. That's good.

I read one the other day from Denzel Washington that was along the same lines. Now, I hope he was given the quotation for this one, so he probably said it once. But he was talking about how you'll never be criticised by someone who's doing more than you. I was like, yeah. You'll never be criticised by someone who's always been doing less than you. Yeah, and I was like, oh, maybe that's not true in our case.

But it was good. We're being criticised by a lot of people. I don't know what they're doing. He was also in the Will Smith moment once he slapped Chris Rock. Apparently Denzel Washington pulled him aside. Yeah. And gave him some on the fly words of inspiration. Like, when you're at the top of the mountain, this is when they want you to fall.

It's when the devil comes for you or something. The devil comes. He's saying this in the ad break. The guy's just slapped Chris Rock on TV. Everyone else is in shock. Like, what's going on? Denzel Washington comes out with a bloody Instagram inspirational quote. He seems like a wise man, doesn't he?

Doesn't he just? There we go. Like a shot of anabolic steroids for your Monday morning. That was Motivational Monday. Jono and Ben. Just made Bell Crawford work extremely hard during that Harry Styles song.

Very quick song. Because my favourite bit of that song, I mean, it's a great song, but my favourite bit is when I listen to it, you listen to it on YouTube or Spotify or Apple Music. He's actually got his goddaughter talking at the start of the song. Have a listen to this. She's very cute.

Come on, Harry. We want to say goodnight to you. And then it goes into the song. But we never play that on the radio. We never play the cute bit. The cute bit. The cute bits because we're always talking over the top of it at the start of the song.

Well, I'm glad we've paid homage to that cute little child. He has four nipples. What's that? Harry Styles has four nipples. Okay, thanks. Scientific fact. It wasn't just a fact off. Talking about his cute god.

It's his god kid. It's his god daughter. Ruby. Winston. Yeah, very, very cute. All right, let's do some scrolling. Sorry. Scrolling through your feed.

All right. He lives do some scrolling. Sorry. Scrolling through your feed. All right, he lives and breathes news. He prefers it to more than oxygen. Ben Boyce, what's going on, mate? Well, yesterday, just after 6 o'clock, more than 5 million phones in New Zealand received an emergency alert. It was around about 6.16 on Sunday. They were just testing the system, testing the cell towers and your phone's ability to receive an emergency mobile alert.

And actually, my phone was on silent, and it just buzzed. It didn't actually make a lap, which I found was a little disconcerting. Oh, it had the same thing. Everyone else's in the household rang. But yeah, mine was on silent too. Which is interesting, because when my phone's on silent, my alarm still makes a noise. So I was like, well, surely the emergency alarm...

It should override the silent. Yeah, it buzzed, but it didn't. But it wasn't going... Yeah. So I found that kind of a little bit like... A little bit alarming, if you will. Yeah, a little bit of a worry. Maybe we should take our phones off silent.

Yeah. But then I'm just used to having it on radio because it is not good to have your phone on... It's a bad look when the phone rings. So I keep mine on silent pretty much 24-7 because you don't want to be caught out in the radio studio. When you were filming with TV, too, if you had your phone on and It's a bad look when the phone rings. So I keep mine on silent pretty much 24-7 because you don't want to be caught out in the radio studio. When you were filming with TV, too, if you had your phone on and it rang while you were filming,

you had to buy a box of beers, didn't you? That was the rule there. But then other people would see that you'd have your phone on and then they'd be like our sound guy, Jeremy. And he would call. He'd often call you mid-scene. Just so he could get free beers. Exactly, yeah.

And Australia over the weekend, they've got a brand new Prime Minister Anthony Albanese He's from the Australian Labour Party So no more ScoMo ScoMo's gone They love a nickname for their politicians over there Don't they? That's ScoMo and he's Elbow, Elbow

Yeah, they were chanting that over the weekend Have a listen Then didn't he tell them all off for being a bit too raucous? Yeah, I think so weekend. Have a listen. Then didn't he tell them all off for being a bit too raucous? Yeah, I think so. Aussies, eh? Aussies. He's like, calm down, calm down. This is not what we're about, okay? But yeah, he's trying to form a majority government, isn't he? Yeah, because I don't think they've quite, I think they've won short from the numbers.

A lot of independents got in over there, I think, from independent parties. So ScoMo gone? Yeah, I think he's gone. We're stepping down? Yeah, I don't know if he's gone from politics altogether. Yeah, I think he was drinking some beers and making some margaritas or something, wasn't he, over the weekend afterwards? Jeez, have you seen that footage of, we got a lot of joy out of it, where he tackled a child while playing soccer? Yeah.

Just a brutal shoulder tackle. Landed right on top of the kid. So he would have been, let's say, ScoMo's 90 to 100 kgs on top of a child, maybe 35 kilograms. Savage viewing. It didn't work out so well for him after that, did it? There's no coming back from tackling a kid. And that is what's making news in New Zealand

and around the world. On your Monday morning, Jono and Ben. Your essential listening for non-essential banter. Jono and Ben on the hits. We're talking thieving animals of late, aren't we? Well, we are. We spoke to the owners on Friday of Gary the Cat and Snowflake, who they team up as a duo and sort of ram raiders,

you know, kind of like the ram raiders at the moment. No one can catch them. They're cat burglars that work together. The people, the owners of the cats don't even know each other, but the cats can work together, and they've stolen all things from socks. They've stolen a mop, a KFC worker's uniform, all sorts from houses. The problem is they don't know who the items belong to. They put them on the community Facebook page, but there's a point where you've just got to dump them in the clothing bin at Pack and Save.

But we're going to talk thieving animals this morning again. 0800, that's the telephone number. Marty, how are you? Yeah, good, thank you. Now, you've got a thieving animal in your life. Yeah, there's a couple of bloody dogs come around here and thieve all my bloody cat food. Oh, really? In my door.

They go in your house? Yeah, they come into the house because my cat food's out in the kitchen. So they come in, my front door goes through my lounge, goes off with my cat food. Oh, now it's your cat's cat food I'm gathering, Martin, not your cat food. No, not my cat food, no. The thing about animals is they don't know boundaries. They don't know, oh, this is someone else's property.

I'll just make myself at home here. We've got the same thing. A couple of cats just roaming around. It's cats though, you're right, John. I'm surprised that dogs are just going into other houses. Yeah, dogs just go into anybody's house around here. Anybody's.

Yeah, open door policy. I don't know where they're from. They're not from around here. Coming off the bloody street. And the other thing is dogs, having a new dog in my life at the moment, they just don't know what's an appropriate food to eat and what's not. Like I had my dog, he was eating rocks the other day, stones. I was like, mate, I know you're trying stuff,

but surely as soon as that gets in your mouth, you know it's not meant to be there. No, dogs will I know you're trying stuff, but surely as soon as that gets in your mouth, you know it's not meant to be there. No, dogs will eat stones and rocks and stuff to help them break up their food, basically. Really? Oh, really? Didn't know that. Okay. Yeah, they will actually eat stones and stuff to help them break down their food.

If you give them too much dried food and so on, it helps them break it down. Who are we talking to here? You know a lot. Well, Martin, thank you very much for the food advice and for the great story. I love your work. You're going to have a wonderful day. Thanks, guys. Anita, welcome to the show.

How are we doing? We're doing very well. Even better now we're talking to you, Anita. It's made your day, hasn't it? It has made my day, and the day hasn't even begun properly. It's already turned into a blinder. Now, Anita, we're talking about thieving animals. Yes.

You've been the victim. I have been a very big victim, actually, and it wasn't even my animal. So my daughter decided she was going to get a dog, and she brings this dog home. Now, it's only a puppy, and it's a cross between a black lab and a German shepherd, so it's quite a big dog. I got up one morning before I'd come to work, took some sausages out of the freezer, popped them in the sink to defrost, as you do. He spent all day outside, and he must have got angry when I got home,

thinking he'd left me outside. So I was getting around the house, organising for the night, went to organise tea and he'd got up on the bench, into the sink, pulled the sausages out and having a good old chaff up on these sausages on my kitchen floor. Oh, he's Harry McLeary'd you! No, he wasn't

popular, I can tell you. Anita, thank you so much for your call, appreciate it. No worries at all guys, you have an awesome day. The show where the masks make them look a whole lot better. John Owen Ben on the hits. Now, Hayley Sproul, you know her from Have You Been Paying Attention? She's the host of that, the Great Kiwi Bake Off. She's on another radio station here in the morning, Zedium as well,

with French and Vaughan. A few weeks ago, she confronted you, didn't she, about your mask wearing Yeah, now we used to work with Hayley on John Olin Ben for many years We know Hayley, but she mocked me and I came back a little rattled by it I was like, oh, I just got mocked on my way to the bathroom by Hayley Thankfully you're wearing a mask because it could catch the tears that were rolling down your face That's right, out of nowhere And then I've noticed something of late that she's been dying

And I'm like, well, hang on a second. This makes no sense. And it has been a sore point for you for a number of weeks. Like every day he would mention it as she'd walk past. Because we've got big glass windows here at our radio station where we sit. And I'd see her walk past and go, hang on. She mocked me for doing the very thing that she is now doing. So on Friday I was like, Ben, we need to clear the air.

Okay, we need to wipe this off your plate. Yeah. Get the stress off your shoulders. So we phoned Hayley on, and remember this was, you know, bullying day. We couldn't play it on Friday, but we decided to play it this morning. This was you confronting her. Hello, Hayley speaking. Oh, Sproul, it's prior.

Boys, next door. Your old mates, Jono and Ben, house things? You say next door, I've already gone home. Well, we live next to you now, did you not know? Yeah, we've moved in next door. Like Bert and Ernie. Oh my God, come over. We'll have a cup of tea.

Now, Hayley, it's great to catch up. It's always good to see you around the office, but there's something that I want to bring up with you, if you don't mind. I don't know what it is, but go. A couple of weeks ago, I was walking around the office wearing a mask because, you know, I was trying to be a responsible member of society.

I'd previously, I'd had COVID, but I was still like wearing a mask. A diligent member of the team of 5 million. You're like, come on. You saw me, you're like, come on, mate. No one wears masks anymore. What are you doing? I knew this would come back to bite me.

And then all last week, and you've been wearing nothing but masks around the office. I'm like, what is going on? I know. I know. Well, look, the thing is, so me and Vaughan, we haven't had COVID yet. And obviously Fletch has had it.

And so I sort of got into the mindset of everyone, which was like, oh, well, it's coming for me. That's fine. And it'll just arrive. And it didn't. It hasn't. So that was my casual mask time. And I do apologize for shaming you.

Now, on Monday, I start filming season four of The Great Kiwi Bake Off. And if I get COVID before then, I'm stuffed. So that's why. And Bourne is off to Disneyland next week. So we've been like full back to like sanitizing, spray and wiping the groceries. That's fine. But Ben has not been able to shut up about this. He's like, Hayley bullied me and now she's wearing a mask.

And he's not letting go. She's wearing a mask. I was like, because I came back in a little rattle. I'd gone to the bathroom, put my mask on. I was like, oh. He was just like, come on, mate. I'm such a hypocrite. And for that, I'm truly sorry.

But if you give me COVID in the next three days, I'll never forgive you. Win with Jono and Ben and The Warehouse. Proud partner of Lego Masters New Zealand on TVNZ2. We are celebrating the Warehouse's partnership with TVNZ2's Lego Masters New Zealand. It's on again tonight on TVNZ2. And we've got a $500 Warehouse voucher up for grabs right now. If you can go to the Hits Breakfast on social media and work out where the little Jono and Ben Lego characters, which Warehouse store they're outside.

Yeah, they're one centimetre tall, and New Zealand's about 1600 kilometres long, so the odds are in your favour, Kylie, from the Bay of Plenty. And aren't they the cutest little Lego men? Well, I have a bit of a... Oh, you keep going on about how you've got no hair, but you haven't got any. It's a pressure point.

All they've done is they've taken a wig off a Lego figurine and gone, ta-da, there's Jono. Apart from that, there's no resemblance. Hey, Kylie, you had a look on the old Sosh Med, and do you think you know where these Lego figurines are? I'm pretty sure I've got it. I'm pretty sure it is the warehouse in Christchurch on the Blenheim Road in Rickerton. Now, you're in the Bay of Plenty. Yeah, that's quite funny.

I'm miles away from that warehouse, aren't I? How did you, what sort of investigative work did you do to find this out? Well, my kids are so into this, and as soon as we had seen the Instagram, the reel on Instagram, my son remembered going there about

six months ago, we flew down to Christchurch for a funeral and we actually thought, you know, what's the best way to distract the children is going to the warehouse and get them to choose something that they want. So, yeah. My son, adamantly,

was, that's when we went to Christchurch. Only six months ago. Yeah. What a memory. What a memory. What a memory. Well, Lego Masters, thanks to them and the warehouse, you've got a $500 voucher. I watched the show, and I feel like the time, the clock ticking down is a lot of unnecessary pressure.

Give us two or three weeks, we'll work through it, and we'll come back to you at the end of the month with a result. That's reality TV, though. You've got to put everyone under pressure. They always put a clock on there for some reason. Even MasterChef clocks ticking down. Makes it more exciting. Well, enjoy that $500 warehouse voucher.

Thank you. That's awesome. Thanks, guys. And from Harry Potter and Friends to architecture and botanicals, the warehouse stocks the perfect Lego set for everybody. The warehouse, proud partner of TVNZ2's Lego Masters New Zealand. The Hits. Comedian Andy Samberg, you'll know him from Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

He's part of the comedy trio The Lonely Island, who sang the song I'm On A Boat. Now, two of The Lonely Island have teamed up to make a new movie. It's on Disney+. You can catch it right now. It's called Chippendale Rescue Rangers, about the lovable Disney chipmunks. Things weren't going so well for them, but they're back now.

They're back. Yeah, they've made a comeback. And, Jesus, an excellent film in terms of they've got real-life people interacting with cartoons, 2D cartoons, 3D cartoons. There's a lot going on. So we spend an exquisite three minutes and 45 seconds with Akifa Schaefer, the director, and Andy Samberg himself on Friday. You're muted.

You're muted. I'm muted. When you turn the thing off. Oh, go ahead. It should work now. Can you hear us? Yeah, I it should work now can you hear us hey we don't want to get the interview off to a sound note but we are jonah and ben we're from new zealand we're a duo chip and dale or duo we had a tv show it got cancelled we're at rock bottom

that's pretty much the story to this movie it's a biopic yeah this is you at rock bottom we're seeing rock bottom for us yeah just standing in front of a ambiguous green screen but you're still doing a show i mean it'd be crazy if you swung the camera around and you were just out on the street yeah yeah i don't know if anyone's listening to it but we're here no one knows the difference between the two of us jonah and ben uh and chip and dal i imagine have the same problems. Yeah, I told Akiva I did not know which character I was playing until about a week before the movie was done. We have a lot of text threads of me being like,

so I'm Chip, and him being like, no. Because I've been playing both roles. Yeah. When I played the movie for some of the people at Pixar for the first time, that was their first comment right off the bat. It was like, you finally solved. I would have held them apart by making one 3D and one 2D.

I can finally know which one's which. You know what was a major coup as well is getting Post Malone to sing the song. He doesn't look like a Chippendale guy. Post, he loves it. Yeah, he's a child of the 90s for sure, or not really because he's like 22 years old but he is a to him it's like the 70s were to us it's an awesome movie for young and old but it's wild

i mean you've got real actors you've got cgi you've got cartoons you've got paula abdul paul rudd you've got it all thrown in there with disney like what the heck are you guys thinking yeah don't remind me it was a lot work. I'm getting tired hearing you talk about it. I mean, I read the first script in late 2018 and all the groundwork for everything you just mentioned was in there. And so right away, I was like, if they'd let us do this, this would be pretty exciting to try to wrangle all that stuff and the experimental nature of what will it look like

and how will it feel and what can we get away with all that stuff now uh chip and dale obviously also uh very muscular hairy 80s uh dancers strip strip dancers as well which you give a wonderful nod to in the in the film out of the two of you who would be the better stripper andy's got the better moves by far i'm i'm not a good dancer and andy's got a good sense of body rhythm, if you will. I'm more comfortable disrobed also. An exhibitionist, if you will. Yeah, borderline exhibitionist.

Now, boys, you're obviously responsible for The Lonely Island as well, which we were huge fans of here in New Zealand. And I wanted to add nothing more to that other than the fact that you're from the Lonely Island and we've done a mild bit of research. Oh, nice. Very impressed. Are you impressed? Oh, yeah.

Really well done. Very accurate. Now, we're from New Zealand. It's a very insecure nation. We love nothing more than famous people saying nice things about us. It'll make headlines. So, you know, obviously you guys, Lonely Island. New Zealand's a lonely island.

Sometimes they even leave us off the world map. Yeah, and I'm on a boat. One of your big songs. We love boats in New Zealand. So a couple of reasons why you should love New Zealand. Go. We love New Zealand, not just because of the things you said, but because it's one of the comedy epicenters of the world.

Fly to the concords. Yeah, fly to the concords. I mean, you have many incredible comedy exports, but also the fandom of comedy there is unparalleled. It's up there amongst the best on earth. Also, Andy watches Lord of the Rings once a year. That's true. Once a year.

Oh, yeah. My wife and I watch the trilogy pretty much once a year, yeah. Jeez, you'd have to book a couple of months out for that, wouldn't you? I know. I've got to come out there. I've got to do the Shire tour. I've got like a prancing pony mug that I drink my coffee out of.

Chip and Dale was awesome. My kids loved it. We loved it. It's so nice to talk to you. We're getting told to wrap up. We'd love to chat to you all day because we are big fans. As John said, we're aware of your work, and that's a big thing. We'll have to do it again sometime.

Good on you, boys. I love to talk to you guys. It's Andy Sandberg and Akif Esha do it again sometime. Good on you, boys. I love to talk to you guys there. It's Andy Sandberg and Akif Eshaifa from the new Chippendale Rescue Rangers movie. And to see the video on the hits, breakfast, Instagram and Facebook. If they were the internet, you'd want to clear this history. Jono and Ben on the hits. Now, it's no secret I'm a hot guy in looks and in temperature, Ben.

Yeah. Yeah. That's when you can come in and you can... I said yeah. No, but you can come in and bully me. Oh, no, I was just like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Thanks, mate. And I like travelling in the car at a temperature of 17 to 18 degrees,

which is quite cold. Right. It's quite cold. It's the closest to that Wim Hof method I think I'll ever get. I know David Letterman, when he was doing his TV show, he had these studio arctic conditions, didn't he? Yeah. That was apparently the way it was because otherwise people would go to sleep.

Yeah. Like if it's a warm, sleepy conditions. It's the same with you. I've seen you in the car. If you're not driving and you're not talking, you're asleep within minutes. That's the thing. This is why I need a cold, because if I fall asleep at the wheel, that's not a great look out there on the roads.

No. Sometimes I drive home, I was like, oh, I was asleep for about 20 minutes there. But yeah, I like travelling sort of 17 to 18 degrees. Then Jen, my wife, gets in the car. She likes 24 degrees. Like a Fiji strength 24. Now, this is six or seven degrees way off my temperature. Yeah, right.

She goes and cranks it up to 24. Now, my question for you is, in this situation, bearing in mind it's my car, who controls the temperature? Because if we meet halfway, it's kind of like it's not going to satisfy anyone, is it? Yeah, sort of around 20 degrees, aren't you? Halfway. Have you got one of those fancy know the fancy things we can have the they they get the the aircon that side and they get no it's all just one thing blasting in your face yeah do you fight

over the aircon temperature not really no you need more things to fight about in your relationship no but i do the uh i do do the thing that uh all the parents complain about when the kids open the window and it gets that noise that and I never believed my dad but he'd just go shut the window and get that noise in my ears I'm like what have I old man shut up out the front old man let me have the window down on the motorway

definitely there is that noise and it goes deep doesn't it it goes deep into your eardrum and it's only the driver who gets to experience it. The kids over there would be like, jeez. But yeah, I'm sorry to my father, Kevin Boyce. For many years of judging him. I thought, this is, he's lying.

He's making up a noise. He doesn't want us with the window open. You're crazy, old man. But it does, it really gets me. So that's probably my biggest bugbear in the car. No, you're right. Why is that noise a thing? Like, it's 2022.

Surely we can design something. Because you've got to open your window just a little bit to get the wind flow. I don't know what it is about. So I don't fight so much over the temperature, but I do like that. More the noise, the wind noise. Yeah, the wind tunnel. That's a problem we need to sort out. Yeah, let's get some.

Elon Musk. Yeah, come on. Bezos, someone. What are you doing? Forget to sort out. Yeah, let's get some... Elon Musk, come on, mate. Bezos, someone. What are you doing? Forget flying to space. Fix out the window problem. Spy. Know what's up.

Spy.co.nz Here we are with our hourly attempt to smear the good names and reputations of famous people. Belle, what is happening in Spy? Today is the day Kravis, Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker are officially married in Italy. It is their third wedding they've had so far. She's dragging that out, aren't they? Well, first up, I've looked through it. The first one in Vegas, it was a drunken night.

Second one last weekend, quite common with destination weddings to get married legally at a courthouse before you go. Because it needs to be legally binding when you go home, right? Okay, no Raz and Mattaz so far. And then this weekend is their proper wedding in Italy. Their family are all there. They've spent the weekend in Portofino with multiple dinners, wedding events. So many dinners.

Oh, they've been out. It looks fantastic, doesn't it? It is. A paid brand deal with Dolce & Gabbana. Is it a giant advert for Dolce & Gabbana? Yeah. The wedding. It's not just a wedding, but they're all wearing Dolce & Gabbana? Yeah. The wedding. It's not just, I mean it's a wedding, but they're all wearing Dolce & Gabbana.

They're getting married. They got married at the Dolce & Gabbana estate by the seaside. They've been staying there. They got to go through all the archives of Dolce & Gabbana and they've all been wearing it all weekend. He looks just like one giant whiteboard that's just been scribbled on, Travis Barker, and I appreciate

that about him. For one man to another who has as well. I've just seen a photo, the first photo you can see online, and it was the back of them, and then you can see Courtney's face in another one, but she had a big, long veil. It kind of looks like one of those neck curtains, you know? Oh, a neck curtain. It's obviously not net.

Oh, a neck curtain, yeah, right. But it's obviously not. It's Dolce & Gabbana, of course, and it's got like a woman on the back of it. It's interesting, isn't it? That whole set up there. I was just thinking about it during the song where as long as they keep procreating the Kardashians, they've got a revolving cast for this TV show

that we all watch and talk about every day. You know, just keep making Kardashians and we'll keep tuning our stuff. And isn't it crazy that they sold this wedding, but it's worked out as a giant advert for a fashion house? Yeah. Mate, I'd sell my wedding to Bunnings. Yeah, we could do.

Sausage sizzles for everyone. Some line trimmers, you know, cut the grass on the way up. Cut the cake with a line trimmer. Yeah. Chainsaw. Why not? If you can do it, why not? Damn right, it's very smart.

And I dare say they're probably even getting paid for it as well. They definitely will be, yeah. Most schmucks, most ordinary schmucks like you and me, we lose money on our wedding day. These guys are making millions. And someone who isn't there is Pete Davidson, Kim's boyfriend. He is or he has been on Saturday Night Live. It was his last night.

And here he is talking about the director, giving him some advice when he got engaged. I called him and said, when I got engaged, I said, Warren, I just got engaged to Ariana Grande after dating for two weeks. And he said, oh, hold on for dear life. It's a cute thing he said. And then I remember when I auditioned for SNL, he looked me right in the eye and said, I don't know, I don't think you're right for this show.

So let's screw this up together. Oh, there we go. Good on him. He's had eight years there on the program, hasn't he? Oh, I mean, he'll be off making movies and starring in the Kardashian reality show. Yeah, he's part of that machine now, obviously. Good on him.

Dolce & Gabbana weren't willing to pay him to go over to the wedding. But well done, Pete. Because I imagine it would be a weekly grind, SNL, wouldn't it? You wouldn't be able to go off to Italy when you want, Ben. No, that's right. He's scheduled. He's rostered on.

You're rostered this weekend, Saturday. There's a wedding in Portofino. I don't care, mate. Sorry, mate. The day of the show, I know this from watching the Kardashians, is a 23-hour schedule. That one episode. Obviously, now, everything I hear about Saturday Night Live, it sounds like the most exhausting job on earth.

Seven days a week, 14, 15-hour days every day. And then 23 hours for the final show. Wow. Yeah. Maybe if we put that much effort into Jono and Ben, we'd still be on air, Ben. Exactly. And that is Spy.

You can get more now at thehats.co.nz. Warning. Contained stodgy parenting advice. Jono more now at thehats.co.nz I want to talk right now about kids perks the perks you get because you're a kid it happens to my daughter she knows that

when I go now and again I get a shirt or a jacket taken to the dry cleaners and she knows if she goes into the laundry shop

down the road that does that she's like hey you get a lollipop I'm coming in I'm like, hey, I need to get a lollipop. I'm coming in. I'm getting a lollipop. She gets a lollipop just for appearing in the shop. Just for an appearance.

And just because you've gone through puberty, you're not allowed any lollipops. That's the result. Now, is this the same dry cleaner where for about four or five weeks you had conned your family into thinking that you had done all the washing and folding, but you were taking it to the dry cleaner? Yeah, they're kind of a laundromat dry cleaners. The lady who works there, she's got New Zealand's best memory. Like, honestly, she doesn't take a single detail

as far as this is your thing. She just comes in, she's like, yep, that one's yours, that one's yours. I'm like, oh my God, how do you do this? That would have made you quite anxious the first time you experienced that, I imagine. You're like, are you running? She gets it right every time.

She's incredible. So yeah, so my daughter knows now. She's like, oh, where are you going? Oh, you're going in there. I'll come in. Because she gets a lollipop. Yeah. That's a great kid perk.

That's a great kid perk. Also, cheaper clothes. Kid perk. Well, yeah, true. They get driven around everywhere for free. Yeah. Like a free Uber service. Well, that is true.

Kid perk, you can get vaccinated for free. Kids have got it all. I think we can get vaccinated. Yeah, we can get vaccinated for free as well. But they get lollipops at the end of their needle. They don't hurt just as much for me. It's my little Macintosh. Yeah, true.

You're right. At the end of a vaccination or something, they'll get a lollipop or something like that. Buns. Back in Marston, back in the day, the supermarket used to give free buns for kids. I mean, they're probably the expired style buns from the day before. But it didn't matter. I was like, oh, free bun. Free mouldy buns.

Free bun. I'm going to at the supermarket. What, just like a bread roll? Yeah, it was like a big tub of sort of bread rolls. You know how they have the free fruit now at the supermarkets? They'd have free buns for kids. Oh, they would definitely expire then. Probably.

Okay, so I'll wait under that as we want to chat this open. New Zealand's Breakfast, 4487. Kids perks. Kid perks. What are they getting that we should be? The kids menu too always looks nine times out of ten better than the adults menu. Yeah. And they get to dine for free.

You go in with a taller version of yourself who's going to pay. You get to dine for free. Your meal's free. Great kid perk. Exactly. You don't appreciate those when you're a child, do you? No. Or the holidays The school holidays Is just

And it feels like The world's longest time In between holidays Doesn't it A term Feels like an eternity Yeah But

And sleeping You guys can sleep Whenever you want We've got them started Look at what's going on We've got a bed at 7.30 You know my favourite thing About being a kid

Was when you'd fall asleep In the car You'd get carried inside. Oh, yeah. And because our grandparents lived further away from our house, so we'd always be coming home at night. And sometimes I'd even pretend to be asleep just because I'd get carried inside. Yeah, no, but at least one of your parents had a few too many drinks, and then they'd bang your head on the side of the car. On the brander.

Like, bang, like three times on the way to bed. Come on now. All right. I'll just walk. I'll just walk. I'll just walk. It's easier. All right, Hunter, the hits. Kid perks this morning.

So if you want to win one of those, what is the best perks the kids are getting? Why have they had it too good for too long? The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. We're talking kids' perks. What is it the kids get for free?

My daughter loves going into the dry cleaners or the laundry mat with me because she gets a little lollipop or a lolly. Also, on the flip side of that, sometimes I really enjoy walking in with kids to a place and they can see a giant jar of snakes or something on the counter, but the person behind the desk doesn't offer it to them

and they're just salivating. They can't take their eyes off it. We're going to kick things off with you, Mel, in Mochueca. Welcome. How are you? Hi, I'm good, thank you. How are you? Yeah, good to have you on, Mel. Kid Perks, what are these kids getting for free? So they have been getting free KFC

From the Colonel? Yes, yes, so we deliver newspapers around Motuaka and I used to get the kids to go into KFC to take the paper in and they would come out with

KFC and then KFC stopped getting the paper, but the kids would walk home from school, and they would go, oh, right, we're going to go into KFC to borrow the toilet. And every time they came out, the guy would give them KFC to bring home. How did they bribe the guy from KFC?

I don't know. They had something on him. Both of my children were blonde-haired and blue-eyed because they were like seven and eight. Yeah, right. So, you know, they were still like... Sheesh. If I walked in there, they'd be like,

They get free, like, Cheerios, several things at the butcher when they go. Oh, kids? They get free like Cheerios several things at the butcher when they go. They're still handing out the Cheerios. I thought the bloody PC Madness

Brigade. They stopped at some butchers didn't they? I thought there was some food safety issues. Yeah no they still do it at our wee local. I won't name them but they still do it at this unnamed butcher handing out illegal Cheerios. I loved it as a kid.

I loved it as a kid getting a free little Cheerio and used to get it at the supermarket as well. Yeah, they used to do lunch in England, but I don't know if they do now with COVID. Oh, geez. I'll tell you what, the free Cheerio handouts over the years must have cost the butchers a fortune in sausages. Yeah, I've got five kids, so.

When do you stop getting, it's like the meat version of a lollipop. Yeah. The Cheerio, when do they stop handing them out? Who knows? My living room still gets it, so I don't know. Do you put your hand out for a free Cheerio? God, no, I'm vegetarian, so. You couldn't think of anything worse than raw sausage. No. I'm vegetarian, so... You couldn't think of anything worse than raw sausage?

No. I couldn't eat, and I'm like, gross. Oh, thanks, Ellie. We really appreciate your call. Thank you. No worries. See you. Everyone's phones went into high alert yesterday.

Well, your phone could be alerting right now because you could be winning $5,000 cash. Five words for 5K. You're just five words away from $5,000. Any young broadcasters listening, take note of what just happened there. Don't overplay it. Don't overplay it.

Radio magic. Don't overplay it. What a segue. Don't come in too hot. All right, I'll back off then, but it needed to be acknowledged. It was some spectacular broadcasting. It's five words.

We try and give you $5,000 every morning at quarter to eight. All you need to do is match your five words with our five words. It's so easy. And Nikki and Ashlyn, age 10, I reckon you're going to do it today in Hamilton. Yes, we are. Yeah, we are. Ready to climb Cash Mountain and have a volcano of money explode over you. Yeah, that's it.

Odd analogy. Now, Nikki and Ashlyn, you need to send one of us into the soundproof booth, of course, to match five words with. Who's it going to be today? Jono. All right. Jono. And did you just hear that magnificent radio that just happened from Ben there, Nicky?

Again, don't overplay it. Don't overplay it. Some good stuff. All right, guys. You know how the game works. We're going to say some words. You tell us what pops into your head. And your first word this morning is gust.

Happy, yeah. Yeah, we'll go happy. Happy seems like a good one. All right, you played a really good game. It's all Jono's now to lose for you, I think. Someone switched the seat around in the soundproof booth and it was facing backwards. Oh, really? The lip went right up there.

Okay. Yeah. I'm not sitting comfortably at the moment, Ben. How'd you go, Nick? I think well. Yep, good. Ashlyn, were you happy? Yeah.

Okay. They conferred over a couple, but most of the times they locked in a word pretty quickly. Let's see how you go, Jono. First word this morning we said was gust. Wind. Well done. Wind gust.

Vacation. Word number two, vacation. Holiday? You'd be correct. Hey, Ashlyn, Nicky, guys, $5,000. You've pretty much won it. No, hang on. Three more away. Just now.

Smile is word four. Smile. Well, I'd go happy. Oh, we're one away from $5,000. Nikki Ashland, out comes the confetti cannon from producer B-Hubs. Add more pressure on. No whispering with this one. Otherwise, we can't give anything to you if he does match up.

All right, here we go. Ticket is the final word this morning. Ticket. Oh, okay. Ticket. I'd go plane morning. Ticket. Oh, okay. Ticket. I'd go plane ticket. Plane. Oh!

Just say yes, because we're going to send you to see Tom Cruise in Top Gun, okay? Oh, $5,000 would have been amazing. But, yeah, another chance tomorrow morning. I'm so sorry, guys.

You were so close. Yeah. Nicole, thank you. See you. Oh, it doesn't get much closer than that. And the winning does not stop there. In 15 minutes' time, your chance to take home cash and car. We are narrowing it down very, very closely

to giving away that amazing prize. It could be yours at 8 o'clock this morning on The Hits. The great thing about listening to this show is that the day can only get better from here. Jono and Ben on The Hits. I was thinking over the weekend about the human brain in particular. This is a lot to get into on a Monday morning. Well, it's an incredible thing, but it could also be a frustrating thing.

Particularly, I don't know, just as a parent, over the last five or six years, I can be going into a room and then going, why did I come into here? That's what my mum would do back in the day. Absolutely. I went to the warehouse the other day and walked in there and I completely forgot what I had to go to the warehouse for. Wandered around for about 10 or 15 minutes. You had a house on Elliot Street. Oh, no, yeah.

Siri's all over it, but you're not. But yeah, and I had to just walk out of the warehouse with nothing. And I looked very suspicious. You can tell the people at the door, you know, those people who wait at the door, they're like, he came in here with nothing

and he's walking out with nothing. His other shoplifted something or forgotten. But yeah, that's what happens. Particularly as, I think as parents, I do the thing that my mum

used to do to us where I say both the kids' names when I just want one of them. Indy, Sienna, Sienna, Indy, you know,

like, you know, like. Do you ever mix them up? Oh, not, but you know, you just say the wrong one first and then you get the second one you know that's something my mom would do yeah i find it hard to tell the difference between children on

the phone too when they ask the phone yeah on the phone they all sound the same and i don't want to stereotype kids but you all sound the same yeah so i was thinking about that so sometimes you know you're in you know you forget a lot of things but then i was listening to the hits over the weekend and the song came on. I hadn't heard from 10, 15 years. And suddenly in the back of my mind, I'm like, I know 90% of the lyrics to this song that I haven't sung for like 10 to 15 years. And I'm singing it again.

I'm like, why has my brain retained that information? Why do you know all the words to the Macarena? But I'm forgetting why I go into a room, you know, and get distracted by watching TikTok videos or something. You're right, yeah. Dump that clear all that information out of your head and you create more space for stuff that's happening in the moment. Wouldn't it be nice if your brain was like a computer

where you're like, well, delete that. You know, your brain is full. Which stuff do you need? I don't need them. Do I need to know all the words to Boys to Men or Make Love to You? Probably not. Probably not. No.

I could read that off the computer if I need to sing that. Will I ever listen to that song again? Probably not. Okay, that needs to go. So wouldn't it be nice if you could just trash that sort of stuff and erase the trash?

Or you could pay for an upgrade. Your brain's a little full at the moment, so I want to upgrade to a new, more brain. Do you want to build my cloud space sort of thing?

More information. For $10.99 a month, your brain can retain more. Wouldn't that be nice? Because even in the weekend, I had that moment again when I ran into someone and they were like, sort of thing. More information. For $10.99 a month, your brain can retain more. Wouldn't that be nice? Because, you know, even in the weekend, I had that moment again when I ran into someone

and they were like, G'day, and I'm like, I recognise them. But then your brain's going through that, almost like go through all the files going, where do I know this person from? Yeah.

I know, and that's the thing, you're not fully engaged in the conversation. You're spending the whole time trying to remember their name. And it's a vague conversation, like, good to see you,

how's things, you good, you know? And then they did the thing that, well, I don't know why they do it they're like you remember me and i'm like yes yes of course i do of course you know like i did remember them and they're like you were trying to remember them and then they went oh where from i'm like what monster asked you where from and i was like and there's a lot of places too there's a lot of places out there did you take a stab? Or did you just come clean? You know when you said Do I remember you? I don't

Like I do But I'm not enough to From the thing From the thing Yeah yeah She's right That's right We were at the thing

You know the trick is apparently To remembering things Is there's two tricks One you can associate The thing you're trying to remember With a picture Oh yeah And that apparently It's easier for your brain to retain or go back on and remember. And the other one is rhyming. So if I meet Ben, Hen, Glen, Jen,

Sven, but also what that does is next time I see you, I might call you Sven. Sven, Glen, Jen. That's Cash in Car. Guess how much cash we've stashed in the Škoda's boot and drive it home along with all that money yeah this is

Jono and Ben on the hits. Now, Jono, we've got a big surprise for you on Friday that we've been organising behind the scenes and we want to keep it a bit of a mystery until tomorrow at this time for you, Jono, but we can give you some hints towards what it is. Well, are you keeping it a mystery because it's not fully organised? No, it's all fully organised. It's all happening.

And look, can I just start by saying this is something that you've always wanted to do? Okay? So firstly, it's not a bad thing. Okay, be the first bald man in space. Bezos beat me, that son of a... Yeah, okay, so something you've always wanted to do, and this would be a world first, I think.

We're going to bring Leo on right now. Good morning, Leo. Good morning, how are you going? We're going all right. Now, is this, would I be right in saying, if Jono does this on Friday, no one in the world has done it before? No one in the world has ever done that before.

That's correct. That's correct. And it's something you've wanted to do. So this is, thank you, thank you is what you should say right now, Jono. Thank you. Well, but you've got that big goofy smile on your face where you're like, yeah, I may have done something nice,

but it comes with a huge... Leo, can I get asked for Leo's surname so I can Google him and where he's from? Tomorrow. No, tomorrow we'll reveal more. He'll be back again tomorrow. Can I ask Leo some questions? You can ask Leo some questions. This event that could be taking

place, how long will it take? That's a good question. Well, it depends. Yeah. Depends. It it depends. Oh, yeah. Depends, yeah. It's all on you, really. It does depend.

It depends. It's all on you, really, yes, exactly. You know? Like, it could take quite a while, though, right, Leo? Like, it could, but it's up to Jono how long it takes, right? Absolutely, absolutely. It can take a while. It can take a while, yes.

So is it Wednesday, Wednesday? It's happening on Friday. Well, the only reason I asked that is I've got some stuff to do Friday. It can take a while, yes. So is it Wednesday happening soon? It's happening on Friday. Well, the only reason I asked that is I've got some stuff to do Friday. Well, that's up to you. You could make it happen faster or you could make it happen slower. I mean, put it this way, Leo. I would say thousands of people have done this around the world, right? But not in the particular place that Jono is going to do it.

Correct? Correct, indeed, yes. That is correct. And this particular place that Jono is going to do it. Correct? Correct, indeed, yes. That is correct. And this particular place is very unique. And, yeah, very unique. What else can I say? I would say by the end of it, you know, it's going to be exhausting. It's going to be exhilarating.

But at the end of it, I'd say he'll feel a sense of achievement, Leo. A huge sense of achievement, indeed. Yes. Leo sounds exotic. What exotic location is... Doesn't he sound exotic? It is a very exotic location. It is an exotic location where you're going to be, no doubt.

Yes. It's going to be amazing. Okay, so something you've always wanted to do. It's a world first. No one else has done this. You, on Friday. Why can't you just tell me about it now? Because I thought tomorrow, let's have a bit of mystique.

I mean, listen to Leo. He sounds amazing, doesn't he? He sounds mysterious. Did Ben just say mystique? What is mystique? It's prestige and mysterious put together. It's a new word I've been working on. Mystique.

I like mystique. The all new mystique. All right. So it's happening Friday. Leo, thank you so much for organizing this. I love Mestige. The all-new Mestige. Out now. All right. So it's happening Friday. Leo, thank you so much for organizing this. You can join us tomorrow, and we'll explain to Jono exactly what's going on, because you're very confused.

And the reason you don't know, it's not because it's not organized. It's very well organized. We know everything, the way it's going to happen. And, yeah, the behind the scenes is all well done. And you're going to love it. Oh, I'm looking forward to this Mestige-ous event. Mestige. Remember Mestige. Okay.

Tomorrow, we will reveal what Jono is doing on Friday. It's a world first. Can't wait. Jono and Ben. Just like family. The family members you're ashamed of. Jono and Ben. On the hits.

Travis Barker, Kourtney Kardashian. They've just been married. How long ago, Belle? A couple of hours ago. Fresh marriage. Travis and Portofino in Italy. They're probably consummating as we speak. Well, yeah, probably are because on the show,

Keeping Up With The Kardashians, they're in a new relationship and they've been doing something in front of their kids that the kids are finding a little cringy, maybe a little too hardcore for the parents, and that is French kissing. Have a listen. Mom, no kissing. Just one. No.

Sorry. I'm going to die. Ew, guys. Can I not kiss in French again? Can I please no French kissing? No French kissing, baby. Okay. So no French again. You guys please, no French kissing. No French kissing, baby. Okay. So no French kissing.

She can hear all the sound effects. How old are the kids? He's only seven. Oh my. No kissing in French, mum. That would traumatise a childhood, watching your parents do that. Especially because it's not their actual dad and mum. Like it's a mum with a new boyfriend, well now husband,

but you'd still be a bit like, oh, okay. Passing in front of your kids is wrong. Passing in front of other people's kids, that's okay. But your own kids should be passing in front of kids, all right? Yeah, it's inappropriate. It is inappropriate. I mean, I've told that story before. I once had a sleepover at a friend's house

I feel like this story has traumatised me now because you're telling it to me So a soapy bubble bath you walked in on I haven't heard this one yet I walked in on a soapy bubble bath situation and let's just say they weren't conserving water that wasn't their major concern So we wanted to know this morning

on 0800 the hits 4487 hardcore parents What are your parents doing or what did your parents do that maybe was a little hardcore for you? Well thankfully our kids can't participate in this. I'm the opposite of hardcore. Okay 0800 the hits the telephone number.

Are your parents tongue wrestling like Courtney and Travis Barker? Geez they're going to need physio on their tongue. They're never not sucking each other's tongues. Red carpets, premiers. It's putting a lot of us off watching the show. It's icky. Two semi-competent dads handing out semi-competent parenting advice.

Jono and Ben on the hits. We're talking hardcore parents after Courtney Kardashian and Travis Barker. They like to kiss with their tongues on the show. Keeping up with the Kardashians. Kissing Up with the Kardashians. Kissing Up with the Kardashians. That's pretty much the show when they're on at the moment. And her kids are like, oh, stop, stop. Yeah, I mean, watching it as a childhood would really set you on a new path in

your childhood, wouldn't it? It's kind of like, well, you're two steps away from learning about how we created. Yeah. So 0800 the hits. Have you got hardcore parents? You can text 24487. Rob, how are you?

Very good. Hardcore parents. You had some hardcore parents. What were they doing? Not really. Just made me smoke for when they caught me smoking cigarettes, they made me smoke a whole packet. Oh, they did that thing.

That's not really hardcore. That's hardcore. It's hardcore. They made you smoke the whole thing just to teach you a lesson. Yeah. Maybe I had five and I went green and they let me off and then they felt bad for me and bought me

I can't remember what it was, a toy or something. Oh, but did you smoke again after that? A few years later. Yes, yes he did. Yes he did. It didn't turn him off. A few years later. He may have been a bit sick at the moment. He got a toy. And how old were you?

Maybe around 12 or 14, something around there. That's a lot of cigarettes, isn't it? Five in a row. Were they wanting you to do all 20, were they? Well, that's what they were saying, but yeah, it never happened. Gee whiz. And did they just sit there and watch you sucking back on it? Breathing in the secondhand smoke.

Do they sit there watching you? Yeah. Yeah, next to me. And what would they... And there were menthols as well, and yucky. Oh, yucky menthols. Oh, menthols. And would they light the cigarettes for you and go on to the next one?

Yeah. Like a cancer marathon. Yeah. Oh, hey, listen, thank you so much for your call, mate. You go and have a wonderful day. Okay, cheers, John. Tanya, welcome to the show. Thanks.

Good to have you on. We're talking about hardcore parents. Why were your parents hardcore? My father was very strict with things like chewing with your mouth open or chewing gum, and we were never allowed to discuss farting. Oh, really? And if we needed to fart, we had to leave the room. Oh, would you have to go outside or just you had a designated room?

Room for that. We had to go to the bathroom. We literally had to run to the bathroom just to fart. Yeah, my father was like a big no-no. Well, Ben Boyce this even this conversation he's not a fan of fart based conversation yeah we've talked about this before i'm not sure i don't know why i'm suddenly like i'm not highbrower in any way shape or form but this is one topic i go oh even for us this is just like you know it's probably my mom you never used to say the word She wouldn't say the word

cool Top Gun Keep Cup as well. That's awesome. Thank you so much, Tom. Thank you, Tony. You're going to have a wonderful day. You too. Cheers. Alright, let's hand you over to the most nervous and skinny of all newsreaders, Ben Boyce. Elections were on over the weekend in

Australia, and Australia have a new Prime Minister. ScoMo is no more. He's gone Australia, and Australia have a new Prime Minister. ScoMo is no more. He's gone. Anthony Albanese is the new Prime Minister of Australia. Elbow. That's what they call him, Elbow, don't they? And they were chanting Elbow when he came out on stage for the victory speech. Aussies, eh?

They love a chant, don't they? They love a chant and love a nickname. Don't they just? Yeah. And our Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, she's off to... Ardo. Ardo, she's off to the USA today to promote New Zealand to the rest of the world. She's going back, come on, visit us. Well, we're easily forgettable, let's be honest.

We're down here, people have forgotten about us. We've been left off maps a number of times, and we've told for two years no one to come near us. Yeah, now we're like yeah come on back uh and now she's meant to be going to see joe biden uh the u.s president in the white house uh but because she's just had covid she might not be able to go see him because i think they have a policy that you need you can't visit a retirement home if you've had covid plus it's after 4 30 and it's the murrayalberg retirement home policy that you can't go in there.

Jo's getting ready to watch The Chase in the afternoon. Well, I was thinking, yeah, well, that's fair enough. She can't go into the White House without being clear for a week or 10 days or whatever it is. Why don't they just have a phone call? Hey. No, but she's over there, mate, face to face. Why is she having a phone call from back here? Yeah, I know, but Jo, you know when someone comes to your city and they're like, hey, I'm in the city. they're like hey i'm in the city and he's probably like oh should we just do a phone call she's like

no why don't i come to your house i'm here they're not gonna do a phone call okay zoom maybe and uh speaking of unusual things over the phone a mother in the united states uh she had her phone unlocked and her two-year-old son uh grabbed the phone she's like it's fine he plays with it from time to time then suddenly a delivery driver turned up. She's like, oh, that's strange. I didn't order anything. And he had 31 Big Macs from McDonald's, or 31 cheeseburgers from McDonald's

that the son had accidentally ordered from like a delivery service on the phone. There are a lot of steps to go through. I know. I can't even figure out how to place an order online. He looked so stoked with himself as well, like eating his little cheeseburger in the photos. He's sitting there with a big pile of cheeseburgers.

So he actually wanted the cheeseburgers. I mean, obviously he likes his cheeseburgers. Isn't that frightening? Isn't it frightening that kids at age two know how to work a phone? They pretty much come out of the uterus and they pick up an iPad

with all the afterbirth. They're all just swiping as soon as it starts. And that is what's making news in New Zealand and around the world. Hard-hitting interviews and informed opinion. Mike Hosking on Newstalk ZV. In the meantime, Jono and Ben on the hits. Big surprise happening for Jono.

Something he's doing on Friday. It's a mystery and we spoke to someone involved earlier this morning. Would I be right in saying if Jono does this on Friday, no one in the world has done it before? No one in the world has ever done that before. That's correct. This event that could be taking

place, how long will it take? Ooh, that's a good question. It's all on you, really, yes, exactly. You know. Like, it could take quite a while, though, right, Leo? Like, it could, but it's up to Jono how long it takes, really, yes, exactly. It could take quite a while, though, right, Leo? It could, but it's up to Jono how long it takes, right? Absolutely, absolutely. Yeah, mystery.

I have no idea. It'll be revealed tomorrow, 8 o'clock. It is The Hits. You've got Jono and Ben.
