Jono, Ben & Megan - The Podcast - FULL: One Of Our Listeners Ate A Muffin That Had A HUMAN Tooth In It!

Episode Date: May 24, 2021

Hello hello! Our Friends of Friends reunion continued on, and today we spoke to Michelle Davies, who got the opportunity to feature as an extra on Friends. She was such a great chat, and it was so interesting hearing what goes on behind the scenes and what the cast is really like! We also played a little game with Ben called Tooth Or Dare. Listeners called up with their horrific experiences involving teeth, and Ben had to decide whether he wanted to hear these grotesque stories or do a dare. Fair to say, we're all traumatised after hearing what some people have gone through with their teeth!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

That's what they're there for, to leave it on auto so people can communicate. Hello. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear Annie Pryor. Happy birthday to you.

Thanks. Annie, two, three. No, I'm not going to play that. I don't know. It stops. And I don't want to know. Happy 21st, Annie. Jonathan, I'm not going to play that. I don't know. It stops. And I don't want to know. Happy 21st, Annie. Jonathan, I'm not 21. Mum, guess what you're featuring on?

I don't know, Jay. Your favourite podcast introduction? Yeah, podcast introduction. Oh, okay. Well, thank you very much. I mean, what more could I want for a birthday than be on your podcast? This is your present. Yeah. This is your present. Yeah.

This is your present. And a present, and a voucher, Jay, and a voucher. Got Annie a voucher. Oh, I do. I never know what to get my parents now. I always end up just getting vouchers. I think vouchers are good now, because then you can spend it on what they really want.

Do you actually like the vouchers, Annie, or not? I love vouchers. Love vouchers. Yeah, so I'm a vouchers person. Do you like like the vouchers, Annie, or not? I love vouchers. Love vouchers. Yes, I'm a vouchers person. Do you like vouchers too? Yeah. Yeah, definitely a vouchers person. Sometimes, though, at Christmas time, you get an abundance of vouchers and you forget you've got the vouchers.

I never forget. I've never forgotten. You must earn too much money to get the vouchers. Yeah, I know. Oh, money bag. I've forgotten all the vouchers. Money bags prior with all those vouchers. All the vouchers I have,

the expired ones. Oh, happy birthday, Mum, we'll see you later on. Thank you, Jay. Bye, Ben.

Bye, happy birthday. The Prezi cards are an interesting run. You thought that we could solve the worldwide pandemic with Prezi cards,

didn't you? Oh, stimulating the economy. Now, I heard that on Newstalk ZB and I thought, everyone gets a Prezi card that they you? Oh I was stimulating the economy and I heard that on Newstalk ZB and I thought everyone gets a Prezi card

that they have to spend just to stimulate the economy I was like that's good because you can't you know it's not you give people cash they'll probably put it in the bank

and rightly so but you know Prezi card you've got to use it go spend it that's what I always forget you spend a Prezi card and then you never know

how much is left on it so it's always a gamble that second time you go back up with the Prezi card isn't it? That's true. Yeah so anyway fun show today. We're doing our Friends of Friends reunion and we've got a really interesting guest. She's an author and she got to spend a day on the Friends set back in its peak and even got to act in a scene

she just thought she was covering it for a report and she got to act in a scene in the background. What were the characters like? What went on? It was really fascinating. She's got no reason not to tell the truth, the dirty truth of what went on on the set of Friends. And the problem is it was not that dirty, actually. But she's an interesting tale.

You likened it to just an average, normal person like ourselves, or you listening, just walking onto a set. Yeah, because she wasn't like an actor as such that got to, you know, auditioned and got a role. She was just like, she was suddenly on there. Like, yeah, you're like you and me would be, you know, like something like, well, we're on this. Oh, this is cool. Oh, there's Joey. Yeah.

I can't remember his real name, so I'll just say, hey, Joey. Yeah, so that was really fascinating. So I thought, I think we got more out of her than perhaps you would have got if she was an actor. That's right. And that's why the Friends of Friends reunion is arguably the best Friends reunion happening this week. It will live on our hearts and our hearts forever. Enjoy the party. Two dads just trying to fill some air time.

Some might say it's pointless, but the main thing is it fills in some air time for us. That is the main thing. John and Ben, breakfast on the hits. It is our Friends of Friends reunion. There is, of course, the big Friends reunion happening this week in the world, and we're doing our Friends of Friends. We're finding out some really interesting and fascinating things from people that were involved in Friends, the TV show. And today we're talking to Michelle Davis.

Now, she's a writer and author. She works for Comedy Central overseas. And she got to visit Friends at its peak when it was hugely popular. She was an extra on the show, wasn't she? Yeah, she got to write a piece. She got to spend a whole day on the Friends set. And as Jono said, she got to be an extra

and act in a scene on Friends. And she joins us right now from the UK. Good morning, Michelle. I'm very well. Well, it's actually evening here. It's almost tea time in good old London. Oh, doesn't that sound so quaint and sophisticated? Hey, Michelle, now you were working for a magazine in 2003, so 17-odd years ago,

and you became an extra on Friends. I did, and it is still the highlight of my career, and it will be whatever I do, whatever else I achieve, I could probably sell as many books as J.K. Rowling, and people still wouldn't be as excited as hearing that I was once in Friends. It was episode 21 of series 9, I understand, called The One With The Fertility Test. I mean, how much TV time did you get and what did you have to do on the show?

So I am, it's quite a brief appearance, but I'm in the opening credits. You know how they used to always have like a little opening scene and then it would go into the song? So this opening scene was, some of them were all sort of in the in central perk and um my job was to sort of stand behind them and um just sort of be in the background but because i was doing it for this magazine as a feature the director came up to me and said okay at the point

that david schwimmer says the word department that's your cue to move. And we want you to go over to where Gunther is at the counter and order a coffee. And I just remember, I just absolutely froze. I went, you want me to act? I was shaking, literally shaking. Because at that time, this was series nine. I mean, it was a phenomenon. It was, you know, I remember walking in

and just thinking, oh, I don't believe this. I'm in my television. It was the most surreal and amazing and terrifying experience of my life. Wow. Is Gunther a trained barista? Yes, he is. That's how he got the job.

Oh, he is? Yeah. Wow. So on the first day when they started filming, they were casting for the show and they were looking for background extras they had them all assembled and they said oh does anyone actually know how to work a coffee machine and he stuck his hand up and that was it they were like right okay you can go behind the bar pretend to make coffee because you know what you're doing

and that for him just became this incredible 10-year experience. Wow. Now, Michelle, you are, of course, extra on Friends. We're talking about this for a bit. And Gunther, I understand, told you how to act in the background, what you do to silently chat in the coffee shop. I've never heard this before. Well, the best thing to do when you're pretending to speak in the background, because obviously you're not allowed to make a noise, you've just got to pretend, is say the phrase apples and pears over over and over and because it makes the best

mouth sound so him and the director said that to me and when the episode is on and i do catch myself i do look like i'm actually having a normal conversation but i'm just saying apples and pears apples and pears now do you get to talk to the big bangers? Your Rosses, your Rachels, your Joeys, your Channelers. Can you look them in the eye? Can you interact with them? Or do you keep your distance?

As you can imagine, being within the presence of the cast of Friends is pretty overwhelming. And understandably, people just cannot stop gawping at them so you mustn't stare at the talent but it's really hard it's really hard you know you're a few feet away from Jennifer Aniston they were so nice though I mean you know they were so lovely to everyone who worked on the show you know know, everyone from the runners down,

it really felt like a collaborative effort. And I did speak to Matthew Perry, but only because I turned around suddenly and stood on his foot and he was quite nice about it. Quickly before you go, Michelle, we're

going to name the actor, you've got to say one word about them with your brief encounter with the cast of Friends. Okay, Jennifer Anderson. Short. Short? Oh yeah, I read that you said she was quite petite in real life. Yeah. Like, so short that when I first, I saw this person from behind on set and I thought, oh, who's that child? And then she turned around and it wasblanc funny matthew peary could i say two words smells nice oh yes i understand when you bumped into him he smelled quite good yeah yeah really nice really nice aftershave david

schrummer muscly oh is he muscly. You don't see that on screen. Okay, Courtney Cox. Beautiful. So beautiful close up. Amazing piercing blue eyes. She's really, really, yeah, really, really breathtaking. Lisa Kudrow, who played Phoebe. Shy.

She was the one that really kept to herself. You know, she would like sit quietly on set. She wasn't, you know, you like sit quietly on set she wasn't you know you see phoebe and she's all a bit bonkers and she just sort of sat there very quiet shy and reserved thank you so much for uh talking to us today uh we know how punishing this must be reliving something that you did 17 years ago but i love talking about it because when i am old and you know gray and shuffling around slippers, it will be the one thing that I will tell everyone still. I was in that programme.

She put it on your tombstone. Was in Friends. Yeah. Was in Friends. Well, Michelle, thank you so much for talking to us this morning. Your new book, Shadow of a Doubt, is out in November, I understand, which sounds like a great read. So I really appreciate your time, Michelle Davis.

Thank you. It was lovely to talk to you. There you go, Michelle Davis is on the episode of Friends. That was actually really fascinating. Yeah, the inside word. That's the dirt that Corden's not going to get you on Thursday. Smelled nice and quite muscly. Yeah, I mean, that's the sort of stuff he's not going to tell you.

No. So the actual Friends reunion Thursday night, TVNZ2, 7 o'clock. But tomorrow, our Friends of Friends reunion, the Fringe Friends. Yeah, and we actually tracked down, or producer Bee Humps has tracked down, one of the people that wrote the song that was used as the theme song. Did it become a burden upon their musical career?

We will find out tomorrow, 8.10. Experts in semi-accurate half-remembered information. Vaguely known information, but maybe not correct. Jono and Ben, New Zealand's Breakfast, on the hits. I was talking to you the other day about my daughter Indy going to her school disco. I was very excited about going off to her disco. And you were more excited about going to the pub or she was going to the disco?

Well, it was a drop-off situation. I've had more chat about the pub than over the disco. I don't get to go to the pub that much, but I had an allocated time where we dropped Indy off at the disco. We had to be back by 8 o'clock to pick up the kids so there was a short walk down the road to the pub and that's where we went

with a couple of parents 8 o'clock turns into 10.30 to 11 o'clock bring the school go where are you going to be in another 10 minutes school are like where are you

your child's waiting at the gate it's nearly midnight no I responsibly came back and got it but what I heard because we were chatting to some of the other parents

about school discos at the establishment, we don't need to focus on the fact it was a pub, just that, you know. It was just friends enjoying a nice meal and, you know, just that. Anyway, but I heard a story, and I hate these sort of stories, involved a little bit of a mishap that happened at a disco a couple of years beforehand, where a little girl had a couple of wiggly teeth, front two teeth, as this happens, and she was dancing around and accidentally,

while vigorously dancing, put her head into the back of another kid's head. So they connected sort of heads as dancing, as happens. No, didn't lose the teeth. Yeah, both teeth gone. Oh, no. And everyone was looking, and they were wiggly, so that's fine, but everyone was looking around for the teeth, going, oh, where are they on the floor of the disco?

And eventually they found them in the back of the other kid's head. Oh, they were stuck into the skull. Yeah. Gee, that's a long time for a child to be TikTok-ing to WAP or whatever the kids are dancing to nowadays. Well, I hope it's not WAP. I don't know, it wasn't there. You weren't there.

If you were a better parent, you would have known that they were all dancing to WAP, and it was weird.AP. I don't know. It wasn't there. You weren't there. If you were a better parent, you would have known that they were all dancing to WAP and it was weird. But that's a long time for, you know, that's like, let's say an hour and a half, two hours,

wandering around with teeth in your head. my head, my head. Oh, that's, yeah, but it's just one of those things that happened.

But yeah, one of those. It's like I said, sink your teeth into the dance. Literally. That's a crazy story. I hate those. You're losing teeth stories.

It's just one of those things These were wiggly teeth They were going to fall out anyway But just the story Just the thought of losing a tooth Oh yeah It's not You're not into the gross stuff

We were talking about this before Seven how I like to Google Pimple popping videos It's one of my hobbies And this gross has been out too So I want to play a game with you okay We've No no don't play

No let's not play a game We've, okay? We've... No, no, don't play it. No, let's not play a game. We've orchestrated a little format here behind the scenes called Tooth or Deer. So you phone up with any tooth-related story. You could have lost a tooth.

You could have injured your tooth somehow. Anything to do with the mouth. Bad dental operations. Any mouth-related content. And it's Tooth or Deer. your tooth somehow, anything to do with the mouth, bad dental operations, any mouth related content and it's tooth or deer. Ben, you give us some top line details on 0800 that's,

then Ben decides if he wants to hear the tooth story or do the deer that we have in store for him. And you will not want to do these deers.

Do I get a choice in this matter? Do I? You know, it's radio mate. Oh no, it's radio in 2021. Yes, I must give you a choice. this matter do I you know it's radio mate oh no it's radio in 2021 yes I must give you

a choice yeah okay I'll do it then for the purposes of keeping this radio show moving then I would like yeah I'll do it

he's like because we've got nothing else that we can do next yeah so 0800 the hits tooth or dare you just tell us

your horrendous tooth related story and not you know I don't want things like, oh, thanks to years of poor oral hygiene and tartar build-up, I lost my tooth. We'll start with Jackie. She's in Kitty Kitty. Maureen, how are you?

I'm fine, thank you. Okay, just some top line for Tooth or Dare. Give us some minor details so Ben can choose what he wants. Choose what he wants. There. Oh, no, no. No, no, no. Your details of your story.

Yeah, what was it? Give us the situation. Okay, so basically I went into work one day being a dental nurse, and a patient came in, and she said, I wonder if you could help me at all and solve this problem.

Okay, then I'll stop you there, Jackie. So this is a professional setting? I'll take it. It's a professional setting. I don't want to do the deer. I'll take it. I'll take the story. And I'll tell you what I want.

I want Jackie to turn her radio up even louder. Okay, so turn it up louder now, Jackie, and continue on with your story. As loud as it goes, please. As loud as it goes, please. That's it. Keep going. Keep going. That's it.

Okay, continue on with your story, Jackie. So basically the patient came in and she said she wanted to find out where this tooth had come from that she spat out while she was eating something. And she said her husband's looked round, he can't see. She couldn't feel anything in her mouth missing either. So she showed us a piece of tooth, which was actually half of an

eye tooth. And it wasn't hers. It hadn't come from her mouth at all. Where was the tooth from? It was actually in the muffin that she picked up. Oh!

No! No! No! Yuck! Yuck! And the wonderful thing about that story is if you missed it the first time, you got it again half a second later. No! The jerky.

Thank you so much. I regret that. Thank you so much. Have a great day. Thank you so much Have a great day Thank you And one thing we used to say You only brush and floss the teeth you want to keep Only brush and floss the teeth you want to keep

Which means you want to keep all of them Geez, I had to take my headphones off And walk away from that, sorry Geez, Jackie really persisted through the radio there That was impressive too. Okay, we'll go to line number two. That's where we start. Where are we going to end up?

Yeah, I know. This is a, okay, well, let's go to Emily. Welcome, Emily. Tooth or deer? You tell the top line of your tooth story. Ben chooses whether he wants a deer or the tooth story. Easy. Okay, basically, I had teeth growing the wrong way.

Okay. Do you want to hear the rest of this, Ben? Tooth or deer? I'm going to take the deer on this one. I'm sorry. You don't want to hear it. You're traumatised from the first call. Yeah, that call.

Okay, Jono. But I don't want to do the deer. I dare you to give a less than favourable review about a movie or concert that you have attended because he can never do this. Okay, the worst movie or concert you've attended. Oh, no, I don't want to. You're playing the game.

What was it? 660? No, no. No. Was it a Disney movie? No. Oh, Jesus. I went to Bob Dylan with my dad, and he loves Bob Dylan,

and Bob Dylan was great, but he didn't talk to the crowd once. I found that a little odd. He didn't come out and go, he didn't come out and say, hello, Auckland, or something, and I didn't get a chance to go, whoo, I'm from Auckland. So that was a little bit disappointing for me. Oh, that was a scathing review. From stealing Mike Hosking's car to stealing the hearts of New Zealand.

Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast. On the hits. Actual hearts being obviously stolen. In the middle of a wee game called Tooth or Deer. Now, Ben doesn't like mouth-related stories. He likes to keep his mouth to himself, doesn't he? He don't like to share that mouth with anyone. Not even me when I'm like, give us a kiss on the cheek.

He won't. He refuses. So if you've got a horrific toothpaste story, Ben gets to decide whether he wants to hear it or whether he takes the deer. That's how Tooth or Deer works. We'll start with you and Chris and Nelson. How are we going, guys?

Doing well, Chris. Doing well. Hard to beat the muffin story, but started a new job, decided not to go to the dentist over a toothache, and on Friday I ended up in intensive care for four days. Okay, so do you want to hear the rest of Chris's story? He was in intensive

care. You can take the tooth story or the deer right now. I don't want to do another deer. I'm going to hear your story, Chris. Okay, alright. So pretty much had a wee small hole in the back of my tooth. Decided just to be a typical male and not go to the dentist or anything. Started a new job and it actually ended up cracking down my throat and ended up swelling it up completely,

almost to a point where I had to have one of those tracheotomies. And my x-ray was actually sent to a specialist in the UK. And they ended up waking up the house surgeon to come and have a look at my throat because it was just all the way down. This made international dental headlines. International. Oh my goodness. Jeez, that went from zero to 100 quickly for you?

Well, yeah. That was a bit of a muffin story though. That was pretty rapid. Yeah, the muffin story, if you missed it before, can we, oh, I can't remember. It involved a tooth that had fallen out of someone's mouth

and ended up in a muffin. Like on someone else's tooth that ended up in someone else's mouth. Oh, it was terrible. Well, hey, Chris, well, I'm glad you're safe now. Thank you. What's the takeaway from that?

Always make sure you brush your teeth, even the littlest spots. There we go. I hope you're listening, kids, or else you'll end up with a tracheotomy and waking up a surgeon in the UK. That's it. Thank you, mate. Ben and Jono call this show Jono and Ben. Breakfast on the

Hefts. The Hefts. Very, very good morning, 819. Very, very good morning. Yeah, I'm giving you a very good morning. Just a good morning. Some of those radio shows will say good morning, but not me, mate. I'm hoping you're having a very, very good morning. McCormack only hopes you have one very good morning. Monthly, he would say. Yeah.

Not you. You're multiple good mornings on one day. Now, it's been a funny theme of the programme this morning. We weren't expecting this to take off, but Ben, you told a harrowing tale about how a child lost two teeth at a school disco. Yeah, and you turned it into a game, Tooth or Deer, and it was up to me to decide whether I wanted

to hear any more of these stories about losing teeth. Yeah, because you're very sensitive about anything to do with oral stuff. Yeah, yeah. And teeth, you've got very sensitive teeth. You don't want to talk smack about teeth, they get sad. I had a sense of dying after these stories too. Because this one, there was one involving a muffin that was eaten

and discovering a tooth that wasn't actually theirs inside a muffin. So basically the patient came in and she said she wanted to find out where this tooth had come from. She spat out while she was eating something. And she said her husband's looked round, he can't see. She couldn't feel anything in her mouth. So she showed us a piece of tooth, which was actually in half of an eye tooth.

And it wasn't hers. It hadn't come from her mouth at all. Oh! Where was the tooth from? It was actually in the muffin that she'd eaten. Oh! Where was the tooth from? It was actually in the muffin that she picked up. So I hope you're enjoying your blueberry muffin this morning. On the way to work.

There you go. So Tooth or Deer continues on. It's pretty simple. You can tell your tooth story to be in or he chooses to take the deer. And joining us on 0800 The Hits right now, we have Susie. Susie's on there. Susie, good morning. How are you? Hello. Tooth or deer?

We're putting Ben Boyce's stomach to the test. Give us a few details about your tooth story and he'll choose whether he wants to hear it or take my deer, which they are ruthless deers. Yeah. I have a golden tooth. I swallowed it and my dentist told me how to get it back.

It's in my mouth again. Okay, okay. So what do you think you want to do? Do you want the deer? And this deer is a beauty. Oh, no, I don't want your deers, Jono. I can't handle your deers. I can't handle them.

To be honest, it's just been so far, give a bad review to a concert or movie. I don't want to do that. And the second one was, please don't wash or sanitise your hands until 9am. Again, don't want to do that. So I want to hear the story. As much as I don't want to do that. And the second one was, please don't wash or sanitise your hands until 9am. Again, don't want to do that. So I want to hear the story. As much as I don't want to hear the story, what's your tooth story?

Right, well, I have this golden molar. And unfortunately, one morning whilst eating breakfast, it came out with my breakfast and was swallowed before I realised it had gone. So, of course, all the following tricks ensued, trying to make myself throw up. None of which worked. Following day, I got myself an emergency dentist appointment and my dentist said well you've got two options you can replace the tooth and that will cost a horrendous amount or you can actually recover the tooth because it's a gold one oh no i know where this is going. Yes, you do. Yes, you do. And there followed a week's worth, and no joke, an entire week's worth,

where every day, as soon as I felt the appropriate urges, I had to dash home from school, poop into a sieve, carefully sieve my way through my own excrements to find my inlay. The worst thing is when you find it, you've got to put it in your mouth afterwards as well. Not straight away, but obviously that's where it's going to end back up.

Can I just weigh up? What was the cost of a new tooth? It was going to sit somewhere around the $3,000. Oh, no, that's worth it. That's worth it. Okay, so this was five days of, you know, mining through your own... Absolutely. And the success, relief and joy when I found that little shiny nugget.

What did you do with the other five days' worth of research? Well, we had an excellent crop of tomatoes. Oh, such a good story. We're doing our Friends reunion this week, and our friends at Peter Alexander have given us, our friends, some Friends sleepwear collection that's now available in store and online at peterexander.co.nz. So we're going to send you out some Friends pyjamas, all right?

Oh, that sounds awesome. Thank you so much. There you go, Anya. Thank you. Take care. Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime. Just search Jono and Ben on Instagram.

Now, RuPaul's Drag Race or RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under is on TVNZ and TVNZ2 at the moment. And Anita Wigglet was the first Kiwi queen eliminated from the show. Now, she's awesome. And she became famous all over the world for dressing up as Queen Elizabeth and putting on a performance on the show. You've got a purse there. There are pearls.

Are you Queen Elizabeth? I am. The second. I love Queen Elizabeth the second. Rue is a big fan. I'm about to verbally destroy every image of the cute older lady. And she joins us in the studio right now, Anita Wiggler

great to see you. Nice to see you, the pleasure is all yours. It's good to have you in the studio. Now RuPaul's Drag Race, a big, big show all over the world. What was the experience like for you? It was absolutely incredible. Meeting RuPaul and Michelle Visage, Reese and all the

other contestants, just an absolute dream. Well in terms of what you do as a craft, this is the pinnacle. Absolutely, it's just sort of by far the biggest thing in drag that you can do and it sort of launches so many careers, so hopefully it'll launch mine too. You can see it on TVNZ On Demand and also

TVNZ 2 as well. Yeah, you've come out here today, you're looking fabulous. Thank you for noticing. He never says I look fabulous. You do look fabulous. I'm looking in the mirror. Because we saw you on your Instagram. How long, you without all the costume and makeup,

how long does it take you to get ready? Well, I'll let you boys in on a secret. To be completely honest, I'm a natural beauty, so not very long at all. It takes me about an hour and a half, but to be fair, with the size of my nose, about half an hour is dedicated to that canvas alone. So an hour and a half.

So when you need to come around and do interviews for radio, you're like, oh. I was over at five this morning, which is a bit crazy, which I didn't even realise that time existed, so it's quite nice to know. But for me, it's just so much fun, and I find the make-up process quite therapeutic. i put on my barber striz and cd and uh i just start painting my face and and it's quite it's uh almost like you know when you paint a picture it's sort of the same thing

but you get to do it every every day basically what's the quickest time you've done it and have you beaten 90 minutes are we talking the bedroom or face? I can do it in 30 seconds, Dave. I think 20 minutes is the fastest I've ever done my face. Was that a rush? That was a rush. It's when you sleep in and you're like oh no. Now you, after appearing on RuPaul's

Drag Race, you now feature on ruplesdragrace.fandom.com forward slash wiki. And all these facts about you, I don't know if you've come on to. Oh, no, I haven't. Yeah, well, because particularly when you played the Queen. Yes.

You know, and the Snatch Game. And that became memes and clips shared all over the world. That must have been surreal. It was so surreal. And I'm just surprised I haven't been taken out by the royal family yet. I'm just waiting for the moment. Oh, Because you made a gag at Prince Andrew's expense. I made a couple of gags, but to be fair, Prince Andrew's probably had a few gags this time as well.

So, yeah, and that got taken out of the BBC coverage of the show. It did, but, you know, honestly, any publicity is good publicity.

Yes. Wonderful entrance. It's also what the wiggles say when they come out as well. Well, maybe it's the career aspiration of mine. I'm guessing. I mean, I heard that the pay is reasonable.

Maybe you could be the next Wiggle. I think I could be. I could be the pink one. Okay, here's the next line. Megan called me the other day and said, Lizzie, what's the secret to a long life? To which I said, don't piss me off and wear a seatbelt.

You're playing the queen in the game we were talking about before? Yes. Megan called me the other day and said, Lizzie, what's the secret to a long life? To which I said, don't piss me off and wear a seatbelt. Oh, you hear the crowd go, oh. Beautiful.

We kind of keep it under wraps, the celebrities. I'm more of a D grade celebrity. Anything for the D. They're proud of New Zealand.

Go New Zealand. If only New Zealand was proud of them. Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast on the hits. Now, I had a wee incident last night at home with my beard trimmer. I've got a little, like a little, it's like a little, what you'd use to cut your hair, but like a mini version of that. That wasn't a dig at you. No, I know. You looked at me like,

how dare you? I was looking at you, I was actually, when you said beard trimmer, I was like, I've never really complimented you, but you've got a wonderful beard. Isn't it a nice beard to you? I don't like being clean shaped. Anyway, so I've got a little trimmer that, you know,'ve got a wonderful beard. Isn't it a nice beard to you? I don't like being clean shaved. Anyway, so I've got a little trimmer

that, you know, that trims your beard. Yeah, right. And you've got a very smooth chest. Do you shave your chest with it? No, I don't actually. I'm just... Just as purely...

I haven't had puberty yet. That's my thing. I haven't had it. Purely face shaving. Yeah, so yeah. So that's why I do it. But yes, because it plugs into the wall

and then you can take it out of the plug and use it. But yesterday I went to turn it off after using it and it would not... It plug and use it. But yesterday I went to turn it off after using it and it would not turn off. Now I thought like a couple hours later that maybe it would eventually, I'd be able to turn it off, but I couldn't.

And it got to dark, to bedtime. And I was like, this thing is still making a noise constantly. Yeah, well, this is what it's like. So in the end, I had to put the thing outside. Now I can't turn this off. I've tried putting it in a drawer, but it sounds like this. So what I'm going to have to do is I'm going to have to put this thing outside until the batteries run out.

I see a bird in your neighbours with it. Yeah, I was thinking that this morning and I got up and I go, oh good, it stopped. But I don't know when it stopped because it was sitting at the front of... I'm glad you front footed and said it was a beard trimmer too before we greeted with that audio. Remember when we were going through, it must have been customs or airport security as a beard trimmer too before we greeted with that audio. Remember when we were going through was it must have been customs or airport security

and your toothbrush, electric toothbrush. Oh, my bag was buzzing too and you never want to have to explain a buzzing bag because everyone's like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know?

Like I just was with you. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Laugh like, you know it's coming. You know it's coming. Like it's my electric toothbrush. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Finger point. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Laugh, you know it's coming. You know it's coming. I'm like, it's my electrician. He goes, oh, yeah. Fingerpoint, oh, yeah.

You're like, no, it is. It actually is. Yeah, now, very embarrassing, though, isn't it, taking vibrating luggage through cars? It must happen a lot. The toothbrushes are a nightmare because they're like. And, yeah, no, you had much fun. You even pulled out your recorder then, didn't you,

and recorded that? I did, I did. Well, that's what we're doing. I did it last out your recorder then didn't you and recorded that I did I did well that's what we did I did it last night as well just so you could enjoy that I've had on the weekend

this old Casio watch for some reason has started going beep beep but in like seven minute increments and can you find it

or not you know I found it and you know in just the middle of the night you're just like you've got no time for it so I literally just opened the window and just threw it out onto the lawn.

Again, the neighbours can deal with that. Incessant. But that happened to a friend of yours who got smoke alarms put under his mattress. That's right. Yeah, like one of those smoke alarms putting, yeah, put it under the mattress of the bed. And you know when they start running out of battery,

it just has that little beep. Yeah. That little beeping noise. And it would go off every 10 minutes and he would have no idea what this noise was and he was just looking around his room furiously in the middle of the night and he'd try to go back

to sleep and hear this other beep there is a noise, there's somewhere in the room it always happens at 3 o'clock in the morning and your eyes are blurry and then you're like creeping around the house waiting for the next one and it seems like when you're like kind of just creeping around the house waiting for the next one and it seems like when you get up out of bed

the gap between the beeps all of a sudden doubles it gets longer so I try to find a mosquito in the summertime that's in the room you know

when you turn on the light you're all blurry eyed and you're trying to find it so the lesson is here don't install smoke alarms well no is that the lesson you're taking away

no no no not the lesson no what was the lesson if you think install more smoke alarms just don't use it as a practical joke. Oh, that was the lesson, sorry.

Paid to talk words and stuff into a microphone. It's New Zealand's breakfast. Jono and Ben on the hits. I had to go to the supermarket on the way home yesterday and it was just a dot in, dot out scenario. Two packets of 500 grams mince and two pottles of sour cream. That's all I was sent to do. And you know, you go

into the supermarket thinking this is that one time. I'm not going to require a basket or a trolley. You know, you go in there with a kids a kiwi can do attitude. I hope that this is going to be the occasion. This is that one time. You know, me now, a deep seeded history of going to the supermarket. This to be the occasion. At one time. A deep-seated history

of going to the supermarket. This will be the first time that I won't require a... So I get the mints and then I get the sour cream and I'm like, oh, there's a two-for-one chip deal there. Focus, Pryor. That's not what you're in there for.

I needed you there with me. And then you see something else, you go, oh, we are almost running out of that. Oh, we could get that. And that's how they get you. Well, I was like, how could I pass up two for one chips? So I add those to the pile. And then I'm like, oh, well, while I'm here, bread, milk, it's nearly out. It'll go another day, but it'll save a trip there on Wednesday, Thursday.

I'll pile that on. And then you end up like sort of cradling your arms with about a dozen items from the supermarket. And then the other shoppers, they pass you and they give you a knowing look and like, I've been there, buddy. I've been there. And there's nothing you can do. You can't go back and get another trolley

like you're into. Once you're in, once you pass those gates, you're not coming, you're balancing it like a fine pyramid, aren't you? Cirque du Soleil. Put me in Cirque du Soleil. The amazing man who can balance

12 to 14 supermarket items. So is that what you did? You just keep walking around adding more stuff? Yeah, and then you awkwardly have to obviously do your self-checkout situations

and then go down. Then you have to repack them into your arms because I was like, I'm not buying a bag. That's my other thing. Every time I go in there, I forget my bags. You end up to repack them into your arms. Because I was like, I'm not buying a bag. That's my other thing. Every time I go in there, I forget my bags. You end up buying new bags.

Not this time. And make your way slowly back to the car park and just unload them in your boot. Explode everything into the back of your boot. They should really have baskets dotted throughout the supermarket. So if you ever are in that situation, you can be like, oh, there's a basket there. Instead of having to look at those teeth-looking things that you go through when you enter the supermarket

and not being able to go oh you can't it's impossible to go back out i did it once it's awkward it's all good but it's doable it's doable it's like once you're in there you're not getting out that way like you have to go out through the checkouts and that's an awkward walk if you're just like i was just browsing just having a look nothing i you know. No one ever does that at the supermarket. Yeah, you either forgot your wallet or you've been stealing from them. Yeah, exactly. You know, those are the two options, aren't they? No one's ever walking out without anything from the supermarket.

And yesterday, another thing that I noticed was I love the different types of shoppers in the supermarket. There were two people who, middle of the aisle, two trolleys, fully blocking the roadway. Oh, chat. Yeah. An aisle number, chat. Chat. Yeah. An aisle number four chat. Yeah. And you get stuck behind awkwardly.

And I love the people who also are just blatantly eating as they're going around shopping. Yeah. That is a confident shopper. The grapes. God, I'm a sucker for eating grapes. I am? Yeah. Bad girl. Yes.

Bad girl. Bad girl. A little bit illegal. Real Kiwi blokes with soy lattes. Shona and Ben, breakfast on the hits. Five words for 5K on the hits. You're only five words away from a massive payday. A game of word association we play every day on the hits. We tell you five words, you tell us the words that

pop into your head and if your words match with ours you win 5k. A lot of winners in this competition. Over 30,000 given away but more importantly, loads more losers. And thanks to you losers because we can keep the competition running. We couldn't have a winner every day. We couldn't even do a week

could we have that. Carla, I hope you win but more importantly I hope you lose so we can keep doing this competition. How are you? I'm good, could we, of that? Carla, I hope you win, but more importantly, I hope you lose, so we can keep doing this competition. How are you? I'm good, how are you? Oh, lovely to have you on, mate. How's Christchurch today? Sorry?

How's Christchurch today? Oh, it's a bit cold out there. Yeah, what do you do? I work at a bakery. Oh, you'd be up at what? All this food. 3.30, 4 o'clock, would you? Yep, I'd get up at 4 o'clock.

Did you hear that traumatic tale of the lady who worked in the dentist in the muffin? No. Oh, jeez. It was a baker who lost a tooth that ended up in a muffin, which ended up in someone else's mouth. Lovely. Yeah. Anyway, your big decision right now is not tooth-related.

It's to do with who you want to send to the soundproof booth. John O'Byrne or Juliet? We're send to the soundproof booth. Jono, Ben or Juliet? We're going to go Juliet today. Oh no. Okay, no, Carla, we've got this. Now remember, Juliet, what happens in the soundproof booth stays in the soundproof booth.

That's why the booth's soundproof. Won't utter a word of what goes on. She shut the door. And it's just Ben, Carla and myself here. Yeah, here we go. Alright, Carla, you good to go? You know what you need to do? Your five words need to match with Juliet's five words

and then we need to deposit $5,000 plus just into your bank account. Alright, your first word this morning is ham. H-A-M. Ham. Ham. Ham. Ham. Ham. Bacon. All gone with bacon.

Okay. Bacon, yeah. I had another one. But I won't get inside your head, Carla. No, let's go. That was the first thing that popped into your head. Second word this morning is power. Power.

Power. Yeah, P-O-W-E-R. Bill. Power, Bill. That's a good option, I think. Jono, you all right with that? It's okay. Dentist is your third word this morning.

Carla? Teeth. Teeth. Curb is word number four. C-U-R-B, curb. Curb. Yeah. Tire. Oh, yeah. Curb is word number four. C-U-R-B, curb. Curb. Yeah. Tire.

Oh, yeah, curb your tire, yeah. And the final word this morning, colour. Oh, lots of options for colour. You've got... Rainbow. Oh, you picked one with multi-colours. I like it. John, are you looking at me like...

Colour, I don't know. You're not confident. I'm not confident. Well, it doesn't matter what you think, mate. It doesn't matter... That was hard. That was hard, Carla. Those were some tough words, mate.

You did really well to get through that. Producer Juliet coming back out of the soundproof booth. Just so you know, Juliet, there's not a shower in there, by the way. Ben tried it once. It weirded everyone out in the office. That soundproof booth. He told me it was

frosted glass too. It's not. It was odd. And he did that thing where he put his cheeks against the glass. It's a shower size though isn't it?

They squash up some like pancakes don't they? Anyway, that's what I need to talk about Ben's tight tight tush. No, we want to see

if you can match the same five words with Carla. Producer Juliet, the first word this morning. I'm going to mix things up. Okay. I'm going to start with power this morning.

Power. Oh. I shouldn't have started with power. Bill? Nice work. Oh, wow. Here we go. Okay. I was going to say outage. I'm glad you didn't. Oh, wow. Here we go. Okay.

I was going to say outage, but you know. I'm glad you didn't. Yeah, that's good. The second word, again, mixing things up. I'm going to go dentist. Teeth. Tooth? Teeth.

It was teeth. Yes, correct. Okay, cool. I don't know why the dramatic pause was there. It was unnecessary. You got two from two, Carla. Oh, cool. I don't know why the dramatic pause was there. It was unnecessary. You got two from two, Carla. Oh, okay. All right, I'm going to go back to the first word now.

Ham. H-A-M. Ham. Sandwich? Useless, Julius. Damn, what did you do, Carla? Bacon. Bacon and ham.

And let's go to the final two words, see how you would have gone. Curb. C-U-R-B, curb. Car. And the final word, colour. Wheel. See, what they did there is a classic tactical play of lulling you into a false sense of winning

and then it all turning to custard as his second word in. I'm sorry, Carla. That's all right. Thank you very much. Hey, it's good to have you listening, Carla. You go off and have a great day. I love that part of the show.

We should call it Meridian because it's electric and it's back tomorrow. Meridian, you can sponsor it if you want to. Are we looking for a sponsor? Oh, I can do. Proudly brought to you by Meridian. It's electric and it's back tomorrow. Meridian, you can sponsor it if you want to. Are we looking for a sponsor? Oh, I can do. Proudly brought to you by Meridian. It's electric.

The most electric game in radio. Broadcasting live. And mostly awake. Jono and Ben. New Zealand's breakfast. On the hits. Bye. Thanks to Disney's Cruella.

In cinemas May 27th. And on Disney Plus with Premier Access May 28th. This is the audio equivalent of three friends in a cafe gossiping and bitching about people behind their backs. What's happening in Spy? So before we get to the juicy details of Rita Ora and Taika Waititi, I'd quickly like to mention that a Willy Wonka prequel is going to be made basically on the life of Willy Wonka before he opened his factory.

What traumatic childhood events led to him being the eccentric chocolate pioneer he became. Yeah, I know. It's actually quite a scary movie when you watch Willy Wonka or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Like the stuff that happens to poor Augustus Bloop and all the kids that go...

There's a lot of unanswered questions. I saw something on social media the other day about the grandparents. Remember the two sister-grandparents that just stayed in the bed? Yes. Oh, the four of them. There were four of them all in the bed. And I saw something on social media the other day about the grandparents. Remember the two sister-grandparents that just stayed in the bed? Yes. Oh, the four of them. There were four of them all in the bed.

And then someone pointed out, which is a great observation, that suddenly he wins a golden ticket and he's up out of bed and he starts to rant. Just no housework, no nothing for so long. Just stays in the bed. And suddenly he's up and about and he's like, you know. That's so true. Wasn't Charlie, Charlie was in that bed too Wasn't he at times Crowded bed

Yeah Unusual set up But anyway No health and safety protocol At Wonka's factory No I mean No questions

He was never held accountable Yeah true But the actor That has been cast to play Young Willy Wonka Is an actor called Timothy Chalamet And so he's

He's got one of these Very recognisable faces. He was in Little Woman and Call Me By Your Name. The interesting thing, though, is he dated Lily Rose Depp, who was Johnny Depp's daughter. And Johnny Depp obviously played Lily Wonka in the 2005 film. So there's a little bit of a link there. Please tell me the movie's called Little Willie.

If it's not, it's a crime Oh I wish, oh my goodness that would be so good Now to the juicy details of Rita Ora and Taika Waititi They were seen kissing an actress named Tessa Thompson in a three way kiss I've seen this footage and we're getting daily updates on Taika and Rita's relationship It is so good It looks like the back end of a wild night out.

Taika's going, come back to my house everybody. And you know when everyone's back at your house and then daylight comes and you're like, oh, why did I invite everyone back to my house? He's in that mode. But he's stoked about it. Oh, looks like he's having a great time. He's got his girlfriend Rita Oran and actress Tessa Thompson hanging out with him

as well. They're all kissing and they all look awake when they should probably be in bed asleep. True, true. So that is your daily update of Taika and Rita's relationship. For more spa you can head to thehits.co.nz. It looked like one of those nights where you'd wake up on Monday and go never again. Never again.

Then Friday rolls around. Let's do it again. Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime. Just search Jono and Ben on Facebook. She's got caught doing something very embarrassing in my car yesterday at the intersection as we're leaving work there, Ben. What's that? All day I was like, oh, I've had this pimple festering away on my forehead.

And now you're not allowed to text and drive in your car. I've got to find other things to do to distract me from my driving. So I thought, yeah, why don't I try and pop this pimple at the intersection. So hopefully you'll stop. I wasn't driving. I was driving down the motorway. With my knees and using my two hands to, yeah, the rear vision mirror, but no. So I was doing it in the intersection and I looked across

and there was a guy just staring at me. And that was disgusting. He's me. What is this guy doing? There's a lot of embarrassing things you can get caught doing in your car but that is probably the worst. I couldn't think of anything more embarrassing. It's up there. I don't know if it's the most embarrassing but

It's a good feeling once it pops though isn't it? Yeah. But it was one of those blind ones, so I took a risk. You know when you take a gamble and you're like, this could go either way. No, I shouldn't. I was going to. No.

No, maybe don't. I don't mind them. I Google pimples being popped on the internet. It's weird because you've got quite a sensitive stomach when it comes to a lot of things, but for some reason you really like watching that sort of stuff. Yeah, I do. Like the thought of eating uncooked meat or something like that,

if it's like a... Ta-ta. You're scared of peaches. I'm scared of peaches. Don't bring them up. It's a sore point. You're right. You're scared of the furriness of a peach.

But then you're a very complex individual. You're like, oh, but I love watching this. It's so relieving when you see them. And there's a show on it too, Dr. Pimple Popper. Yeah, I know. She's made a career out of it She has people fly from other countries I don't know, she must be based in one part of America

and she has people flying from all different areas in the States and some people overseas just to go to her to get their pimples popped Do they realise you can pop pimples in your own country? I know, I don't know She's the best She's the best in the game to get their pimples popped. Do they realise you can pop pimples in your own country? I know, I don't know. She's the best.

She's the best in the game. She's the best. We were just talking about doing things in the car. We know a lady that was shaving her legs, remember? Yes. Brushing her teeth on the motorway. She's like, it's wasted time, isn't it, just sitting in a car? So if you can make use of it, you've got an hour in traffic,

you can get a lot done. Shave your legs, put your make-up on, do your hair eat your brick people eat breakfast i saw someone eating cereal once when i was on the motor real yeah i think like toast or something might be passable maybe but cereal that's risky yeah it's risky it's an extension of your house your car isn't it i love how people think uh you know you can't see in like if, for some reason you feel sheltered. You feel invisible. You feel like, oh, no one can see. It's like, well, now everyone can.

I can vouch they can see, and I saw a truck driver staring at me getting my pimple popped yesterday. Add these two men together, and somehow you get three quarters worth of a normal van. The Hits with Jono and Ben for breakfast. Tuesday morning. Scrolling through your feed. Here's to the news.

What Judith Collins is to the National Party. Probably not required, but we'll keep him there anyway. Well, say it to Judith and also me, but anyway. I've heard two people's feelings in one hit. It's a new record. Now, Christchurch Toddler is trending worldwide thanks

to, well, something that they thought the toddler said in relation to a goat that turned up on the property. You might have seen this. It was on 7 Sharp last night. It was also in the news yesterday. So the mum looked out the window and saw a goat in the backyard. Yeah, and it's a suburban backyard.

Yeah. And it's not every day you see a goat in your backyard. And so she obviously was surprised at the fact there was such an animal roaming her yard. She might have said, there's a something goat, like a swear word goat. There's a hairy goat? No, not quite. Fluffy goat? Then her two-year-old daughter, Ivy, came across and started copying her mum.

And it was captured on camera. A f***ing goat outside. It's just a goat. No. It's a f***ing goat. It's not just a goat. No. It's an effing goat. I was playing this to my son last night

and he's like, she might have thought it was the type of goat. You know how you say it's like a Labrador dog. It's an effing goat. It's just a goat. It's an effing goat. It's just a goat. No, no, no. It's an effing goat. It's a particular breed of goat. But it's gone viral.

My mum's obsessed with this video. Annie Pryor's obsessed with it. She keeps giving me updates on the analytics and the success of 4.5 million views worldwide now. And it's climbing. According to Annie, she's pretty happy for it. It's kind of cute in a sort of sweary sort of way. And then when some people, everyone, so I almost did what the kid did there, sorry.

Everyone's got a problem, don't they nowadays? They're like, the lady should have reprimanded her toddler for swearing. Oh, yeah. Hey, you sound fun. Yeah. Sometimes just don't comment. Like, just don't. If you don't, just go somewhere else.

Do you know what? She initially sent this video just as a Snapchat to her friends and obviously saved it. And then her friends were like, you have to put this on the internet. And she's like, nah, nah, nah, nah. But then they were like, nah, nah, nah, put it on TikTok. Like, it'll go viral. And then that's when she was like, okay, like, I'll put it on TikTok.

And that's how it got viral. But initially it was just going to be to the close friends. Oh, really? Now our eyes and ears have been blessed with that. That happened to a mate of ours. Do you know how to dad? Yeah. Yeah, we were working with him.

And he just did a silly little video for a friend of ours who had had a baby. It was like how to hold a baby because obviously he had a baby as well. And so he did the original how to dad video. Just for a mate? Just for a mate. Just for a circle of mates to see that. And everyone was the same thing. We're like, hey, that's so good. You should put that up online. And so he did the original How To Dad video. Just for a mate. Just for a mate. Just for a circle of mates to see that. And everyone was the same thing. We're like,

hey, that's so good. You should put that up online. And he did. Now he's How To Dad. Yeah, now he's How To Dad. Full time business. All right. So the future

for that little swearing baby is bright. Yeah. And that is scrolling through your feed this morning. Yeah, yeah, nah. Yeah, nah.

Yeah, nah. The home of yeah, nah. She'll be right and at the end of the day. Jono and Ben, breakfast on the hits. Kia ora, I'm Rachel Jackson-Lees, and this is the B**** News. Yes, Juliet's here on her high horse, which is very dangerous, because we need to get that high horse drug tested, don't we?

We've said to Juliet, don't trust us. We don't want that thing wandering around the studio. But what's this game about? I find quirky news headlines add a beep to them. Censor the headline and you guys have to figure out what the real headline is. Yes, she somehow managed to unnecessarily complicate the process of getting your news. Yes. All right, the first news story.

Woman named *** writes to Apple CEO asking for free laptop. I'm going to say the woman was named MacBook Pro 13-inch. She wrote, she said, hey, that's my name. I would like a MacBook Pro 13-inch. I'm going to say a woman named Melinda Gates writes to Apple CEO asking for free laptop. That is very good. Woman named Siri writes to Apple CEO asking for free laptop.

There you go. So she was Siri before Siri was a thing and was happy with her name Siri until 2011 came around. And now she just gets endlessly roasted. And so she literally wrote a letter to Tim Cook. And then someone else commented being like, my name's Alexa, so I feel your pain. Alexa, play Spotify. Ah, yes. Yeah, very smart. Did they give her a free laptop? No. Ah, yes. Very smart. Did they

give her a free laptop? No word on that yet. No update. Probably not, to be fair. You know what Apple's like. You have to pay $1,000 for something that probably costs them $20 to make. That was Ben trying to change his name to Lamborghini Testarossa. He phoned the Lamborghini dealership.

They weren't having a bar, were they? It's a great stripper name though, Lamborghini. And the next story. New invention. Keeps your dog dry on walks. Oh, look, I don't know. Something keeping the dog dry. I'm hoping it's some sort of dog umbrella

when it's raining cats and dogs. You can kind of, you know, I'm hoping it's something like that. I'm not sure. I'm going to say new invention, hair of the dog, which is a full hair replacement coat for wet dogs. That's nice.

New invention, umbrella leash keeps your dog dry on walks. I was close. You were close. So how does the umbrella leash work? So if you kind of imagine a walking stick, but with an umbrella sort of at the end of it that kind of covers your dog, and then it's got a little leash from the umbrella to the dog that, you know, then you keep them on the leash kind of thing.

But it's like a reverse umbrella that you kind of hold over, but it connects to the dog's collar. So you hold it over as you walk with them. Was that an okay explanation? No, I was more confused than I was heading into this. Yeah, I said, oh, but I wouldn't really understand. It's hard until you see it. It's hard to understand until you see it.

I see. So it's an umbrella that opens up from the leash, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Quite smart, though, because a wet dog, no one likes them, you know? No, they're kind of the wet dog smell. Yeah. Very distinct. What do you do when bows start smelling like that?

Oh, I just, yeah. Do you just ride it out? Do you just ride it out? Yeah. I mean, we do dry them, you know, with a towel. I did the other day because Beau's got bow towels. So the towels that we no longer use become bow towels. But I didn't realise that one had become a bow towel.

You're drying your face with it. It's a rotation into the bow towel. And a man of my wife was like, did you just use this towel? And I was like, yeah. She's like, ah. And that's what she said. I was like, what does that mean? As you're dabbing your face towel? And I was like, yeah. She's like, oh. And that's all she said. I was like, what does that mean? As you're dabbing your face?

Yeah, I was like, oh, that's a bow towel. What do they do? What does Bo do with the towels? Oh, it's just like we keep them in the laundry and he's like, you know, dirty and stuff. You get to use the bow towel. Don't touch his Botox either. He looks flawless.

And the final story. Disneyland to introduce... I'm thinking Disneyland's introducing Disney knee pads for the right knee in Disney as well. Disney. That was a little bit of a meme I saw once. I thought I would get a good one. I'm going to say Disneyland to introduce trousers to Donald Duck. He's been wandering around that joint with no pants on., he's definitely... He is.

He's been wandering around that joint with no pants on. Does he not have trousers? No. I've never noticed that. He dresses with a hat and a top. So he's making an effort. He's definitely gone out and gone, I'll put the little hat on.

He's like, I'll just have these hanging out. He's wandering around a theme park. The families are there. Not appropriate. Right, the real answer. Disneyland to introduce $100 sandwiches. And if you've ever been to Disneyland, you'll know that it is quite overpriced. But this is going to be one of the most expensive sandwiches in the world now.

It's not even that flash. It's got salami, rosemary, ham, bit of sun-dried tomato spread. But also, when reading into it, the headline is a little bit misleading. The sandwich does feed up to eight people. So that's why. It's like a sub jobby. Yeah, a giant sandwich that you'd share with a massive family and that is going to be one of the most expensive sandwiches

in the world now. Well, they've got to claw their way back financially. Mickey's like, we're in the doldrums, guys. What are your ideas? Goofy's like, $100 sandwiches, I love it. Let's sell them. Why don't we get some pants for that duck too while we're at it? Can't afford that just yet.

And that is the news and beeps for you. To everyone pulling a sickie today, you're not fooling anyone. Jono and Ben, breakfast on the hits. Bye. Thanks to Disney's Cruella and cinemas May 27th and on Disney Plus with Premier Access May 28th. Listen, our main goal for this next part of the show is to save you some data so you don't have to Google the stories yourself.

Juliet, what's happening in Spy? So we're very invested in two relationships right now, Taika Waititi and Rita Ora. Oh, yeah. Oh, I saw them last night frolicking. They were frolicking on a balcony. I know. It was another lady that was frolicking.

She's there and they should act as well, yeah. We'll get to that next hour. Hush my lips. I'm so invested in this relationship. But the other relationship that we're into is Bennifer, Ben Affleck and J-Lo. I don't care as much about this one. It's not so close to home, is it? Yeah, I know what you mean.

I know what you mean. That's why it's in the six o'clock hour. No, but they have been spotted, papped again, renting in a little rented apartment in Miami. She was spotted, I think, first without him on the balcony. Then he was spotted, I think he was smoking a cigarette or something. She was trying to hide her face,

but it's just so obvious that it's her. And then they were spotted walking down the stairs together. So clearly it's a thing. Like it's not just a friendship thing, I think. You're renting Airbnb together, you know what's happening. Yeah, exactly. Benny clearly it's a thing. Like it's not just a friendship thing, I think. You're entering Airbnb together, you know what's happening. Yeah, exactly.

Benny from the block is back. Yeah. It's wonderful, isn't it? Getting back with your ex-partner, I guess it's a thing. She knows she's familiar.

I honestly reckon it is like a thing. I think if you've had time apart and then you actually come back together, you've matured, time's passed.

You probably realise all the things that were awesome about that person. Totally. It can actually work out. Poor little Ben Affleck. He's quite a condescending commenter. I wasn't meant to say little there.

Poor Ben Affleck. He's had his demons over the years, hasn't he? The poor fella. Yeah, he has. Is he sober now? I think he is, yeah. One of my favourite videos I ever saw of him was on TMZ and he was coming out of a Halloween party

and they obviously didn't want the paparazzi to recognise him. So he was like, oh, I'll put on a mask. But the mask was only just like eye goggles. And he hadn't covered up the rest of his face. And they're like, Ben Affleck. And he's like, not me. You've got to be really sneaky, though. Were you guys talking to someone who said that paparazzi and things have celebrities' number plates to that extent?

That's right. That they can literally find where you are at all times because they know the number plates? Yeah. I was talking to an actor in the States and she said that, yeah. They go rifling through your recycling bins as well. Oh, wow. And your rubbish bins too. Both bins. Oh, the council though.

These are not recyclable. Yeah. Some of you do milk cartons and that's all you'll probably find. Who at the council has that job, eh? Having to rifle through people's bins. People. Yeah. Anyway.

If I was doing that, I'd just open the lid and I'd be like, good enough. Yeah, yeah. That'll do. And yesterday was the billboard awards and one of the highlights was... Did we win for best cash and car billboard for the hits be like, good enough. That'll do. And yesterday was the Billboard Awards and one of the highlights... Did we win for best cash and car Billboard for the hits? Yes, we did. I hope so. But one of the highlights...

Those billboards are everywhere. Apart from us having the best Billboard for cash and car was Pink performed with her nine year old daughter. Now they've got a song together called Cover Me In Sunshine and they did like a really cool up up in the air, acrobatic performance. You know when they have the, it's almost like the ropes

and your legs are intertwined and you're twirling. Pink does that. It's kind of like Cirque du Soleil if you've ever seen that. She's incredible. She does a concert. Now obviously her daughter Willow does it. They did it together with their songs Cover Me in Sunshine. It was incredible. Yeah, I saw it on the news. Every time I see someone do that there's a part of you

that wants it to go wrong. But I'm glad it didn't. I'm glad it didn't. No, but imagine watching that. It's like when you watch the Olympics and someone gymnastics, gymnastic,

competitor? Yeah, lands on the bar. Yeah, yeah. And they break their legs. Oh. But that's why you watch it. No. The drama.

I do that with the silks where they drop and then they suddenly catch themselves on the leg near the bottom oh that'd be scary we went to a circus

once and it all went a bit awry the mad dog circus we called it the mad dog circus what was that oh jeez I can't remember

what it was but it was a lot of fun it was a semi-legal circus I don't know how it was operating but it was very fun and at the end of the night it was raining

and so they had this motocross bike rider coming from outside the tent up the ramp in the tent and landing on another ramp but obviously when the bike would go outside the tyres would get slippery and the grass was wet and he only just

the first jump and then the MC's like who wants to see him do it again and we're all looking at each other going no not really no and then he's like let's get him out again and he did the next one and he just landed on the

other side of the ramp didn't he and they wrapped up the circus and he's like and that's the end of the circus have a great night

everybody remember they fired someone out of the cannon into the crowd and you're like it was yeah like someone from the

circus but I was like where did he end up someone came out in white but I was like that's not the same person. He's fine.

He's fine. We never saw that guy again. Oh, dear. It was so entertaining. It was very good. You want your stress levels to raise by 100%. Go to a circus, clearly. And that is five more.

You can head to thehits.co.nz. We apologise in advance. Sorry about that. Sorry about that. I'm sorry to rope you into this. Sorry you've been dragged into this. Jono and Penn. Breakfast on the Hits. The Hits. Sorry about that. I'm sorry to rope you into this. Sorry you've been dragged into this. Jodo and Penn. Breakfast on the Heads.

The Heads. The Heads. The A to Z of New Zealand. This is a journey we are going on. Boy, oh boy, we are in the trenches, Benjamin Ross boys. We're calling every town and city in New Zealand. And we're doing it alphabetically, learning about each place as we go. Yeah, so we are in the M's at the moment,

and who knew there were so many places, so many towns and cities in Aotearoa named with the beginning letter M? Well, we do now, because we are having to mow through them one by one, systematically, and inflicting our brand of questionable entertainment upon innocent, hard-working New Zealanders.

And today, we're off to Mayfield. Now, Mayfield, you might not have heard of. It's 35 kilometres from Ashburton. It's in mid Canterbury. 200-odd people live in the town. And we're going to go through to the local Mayfield Cafe right now to find out more about this slice of paradise. Hello, Cafe Mayfield, Debbie speaking.

Hello, Debbie, Cafe Mayfield, John Owen Benz speaking. The Hits radio station here. Hello, how are you? Good to have you on, Debbie. Good to have me on. Oh, that's great. You sound like you're not on. Do you want to be on or do you want to be off?

You tell us. No, I want to be on. You want to be on? Okay, well, you're on. And it's good to have you on. You're the most on I've ever heard you. You haven't heard me before, probably. No, but I'm liking what I'm hearing.

It sounds on. It's definitely on. Now, tell us about Mayfield. Mayfield. Mayfield's a great little town. Don't tell us any more. That's all we needed to know. We'll take your word for it.

So, mid Canterbury, right? Mid Canterbury, correct. You tell us what's there, because I understand the population is teetering around 200. Yeah, so you've got us, which is the most important shop in the town. Yeah. You've got a Caltex over the road.

Less important. Yeah, and then you've got Overflow, which is a good secondhand shop. Everyone comes to town for that. People travel all over the world to come here. All over the world. Come all over the world. They could travel when they could. When they could, they came from all over the world to go to the Overflow used clothing shop. I love it.

I love it. Yep, they did. All over the world. I wouldn't have to. Now you've said it, I really want to come love it. I love it. Yep, they did. All over the world. I wouldn't have to. Well, now you've said it, I really want to come check it out. Sounds awesome. No, you should. Okay, no, no, that's fine.

You're in New Zealand. That's fine. But okay, a picture of this. You're in, let's just say Madrid in Spain. Are you making the over 24-hour journey to go to Overflow, the used clothing store in Mayfield. Yep, you are making that. Yeah, I love it.

It's world famous. It's world famous. Traveling, everyone goes from over the world. I love it. You Google it, you'll find it. The Canterbury Panther. Is this around your part of the woods? Yes, we've got Panthers Rock Pub just down the road as well.

Oh, is it named after the Ashburton Mid Canterbury Panther? Named after the Panther, yes. And have you seen the Panther with your own retinas? No, no, I haven't, but... Have you met someone who's seen the Panther? No. Have you... But I'm sure it's around, going.

Do you believe there is a Panther roaming the hills of Mid Canterbury? Um... No. But someone's named a pub after it. I know. Panthers also sounds like the club that Ben goes to on a Friday night. Now I've just googled overflow used clothing. It's on a website called

Best Op Shops in New Zealand. It says they're fair, they're friendly and they have an eye for fashion. There you are. That's what they're saying about Overflow. In Mayfield. And one other comment was, I travelled all the way from Madrid, Spain

just to visit Overflow. There you go. I'll put that in my pipe and smoke it. It's been lots of fun talking to you. You stay safe in Mayfield, and hopefully I'll come visit the secondhand shop one day. Okay, don't forget to come visit us too. Before you go, let's do a quick commercial.

Okay. Welcome to the beautiful, tranquil... Cafe Mayfield. And as the locals always say come eat here and go away happy it sounds like that's something you're always saying

if you haven't visited this beautiful location it will have you saying wow don't know why I've never been here before. And once you've said that, this special place of paradise will have you uttering more words like... Mayfield.

Blink and you'll miss it. Hey, thank you very much. You have a great day. Thank you. See ya. She was awesome. The A to Z of New Zealand will continue again as we slowly work our way around New Zealand,
