Welcome, this is the... Oh sorry, when do I come in? You tell me. Off the back of the trumpet. Was that an actual trumpet or was that a mouth... That was someone putting on a trumpet noise, right? Yeah. There we go, welcome along.

This is the John and Ben podcast brought to you by Challenge and some awkward trumpet work there from myself. Sorry, I didn't know where I needed to... Was I over the top? Was I before? After? We'll make sure it's nailed tomorrow. How's everyone going going we're going alright

I remember you actually speaking of trumpets you played trumpet with Jason Derulo because he has that song trumpets and the trumpets they go

and you remember because it was actually an interview that we did where we came up with this concept it was going to be like the drunk was it the drunken

interviews so where we'd been drinking beforehand had a few drinks and then we weren't drinking on camera and the person we're interviewing wasn't drunk but we'd turn up and see how the interview would be after a few drinks and it was probably in hindsight a shocking idea it was a nightmare and i remember uh trying to play a trumpet after she's a big night. And you tried to play and you didn't even get any noise out. You got nothing. No. And Jason

Derulo was mocking you for it. You're like, alright, Derulo. Yeah, I started getting a bit of a couple of beers. Started getting a bit bitey. It's alright, Derulo. I remember you saying that, Tom. We should play that. We should play that tomorrow on theard. I remember you saying that, Tom. Yeah, we should play that. We should play that tomorrow on the podcast.

We'll hunt down that interview. But yeah, we did do. He was a lovely guy, though, wasn't he? He was actually lovely. He didn't quite know how to take us at the beginning. Because we. I don't know if he'd been the pastime. Because we were like, we told all the people that this was the idea of the concept.

That's when it got awkward. And then they were like, we haven't told him. And we're like, what? But that's the. But he were like, oh, well. Yeah. Yeah. They're like, we haven't told him And we were like What but that's the But he was like Oh well Yeah They were like

We haven't told him So don't let on that you're drunk And we were like But we're drunk Yeah Yeah that's right And we definitely were Oh producer Joel

What a great producing You've already found the interview Yeah I've got shades of it You look wasted John Was it just you That was wasted John No I wasn't Ben was having to act sober

I was trying to hold it together A little bit Because I was a bit Yeah but it was yeah This is just going to be Ben tries to

hold it together while John is spying Nice to meet you Jason Nice to meet you man That was a hell

of a show Thank you Here's a question for you What's good? You're travelling around the world Who's doing

all your washing? You know the hotel is actually like dry cleaning. Spending the dry cleaning service. Here's another question. Jason Derulo, do you travel economy or business? Yeah I gotta travel business. Business baby.

We were actually on the same plane as you from Christchurch to Wellington. Word, word, word. Which was great but then we were like oh hang on if the plane goes down it's gonna be Jason Derulo. We weren't gonna get in the headline. Here's the thing, don't even mention that. Nah, see that's what I think, I think everybody should get the love. I mean it shouldn't be just... No, fuck no. If a plane's going down and you're on it, you're the guy that succeeded.

We're just two schmucks from New Zealand. Your eyes really give it away, Jono. Yeah, they get quite glassy I felt like I was You know when you turn up And other people haven't been drinking And you're like trying not to But not really hiding it that well either

But he took it And he was a lovely guy He was actually awesome And we did fly in a plane with him We did Jetstar Yeah, we did That's right We were on Jetstar

Funny story A whole weekend We were travelling around For these gigs around the country and it was awesome they put on these gigs it was great and we travelled

from location to location but obviously being it was a radio station putting on the gigs you know times are tight at radio so they were like oh we're going to have

to put Derulo on Jetstar and we're like oh you can't put Derulo on Jetstar and they're like well what if we tell them it's an airline for stars Jetstar

Jetstar and we sit him up the front. He was sitting asleep. 1A. Yeah, he was 1A. 1A business. We had to pull some strings to get him on Jetstar business. Wouldn't everyone walk past him as well?

What is Jason Derulo doing on Jetstar? Yeah. He's like, oh, maybe this whole sleep doesn't recline fully back. What am I getting here? So I saw him three nights in a row at each through the gig. And he was awesome. It was amazing. He's like, oh, maybe this whole sleep doesn't recline fully back. What am I getting here? So I saw him three nights in a row at each through the gig. And he was awesome. It was amazing.

But one of those things, and it was well played. He was so good at revving up the crowd. Because he had a new song. And the first night, he was like, the record company, the people, they don't want me to play this new song because it's coming out soon. But tonight, because you're such a great audience, I'm going to play it for you tonight. And everyone goes crazy. I'm like, yeah, you are. You're going to play it. It's going to be awesome. So I, because you're such a great audience, I'm going to play it for you tonight. And everyone goes crazy.

I'm like, yeah, you are. You're going to play it. It's going to be awesome. Played the song. It was great. No one tell the record company, shh, shh. And then the next night, in a different location, he's like, I've got this new song.

And the record company, and I was like, well, hang on. Well, why have they not stopped you after last night? They hadn't got involved at all. And he did the same thing the second night and the third night again. Oh, mate. The third night, I'm like, hey, wait, wait, the record company won't be happy about this, mate. He's been doing it multiple nights. But it was really good.

I mean, the crowd love that when you're in a concert, don't they? You know? The little games that the audience, they play, you know, like the encore, that annoys me. You know, just play your songs at the end. Don't go away. We know you're coming back Yeah Yeah you're right

Just cut out that time Just get into the bangers Apparently the Red Hot Chili Peppers Walked off stage Came back on Did their encore And they hadn't played A lot of their big songs

On the weekend And then They just Finished And then apparently Everyone was standing around Going Oh well surely

The big bangers They got an encore They invented on A couple surely the big bangers have got an encore. They did on a couple of the big ones but anyway. Double encore. Yeah. And then the lights came on.

Yeah, that's when you're like, oh, people sometimes chant, you know, like we want more and then when the lights come on,

you're like, all right, give it up, guys, give it up. What were you going to say? I was just going to say that Friday Jams Live,

a lot of those artists are sort of at the end of their career as well and they must have like the exact same set almost word for word because I saw Shaggy then I was on a plane and I artists are sort of at the end of their career as well. And they must have the exact same set, almost word for word. Because I saw Shaggy, then I was on a plane and I saw Shaggy at Glastonbury. And it was like an identical word for word performance of the set. They've got their shtick.

They have their shtick, which is great. It's like the classic Liners and stuff. But I guess they're doing so many shows. I guess it's like a stage play, isn't it? The stage play with actors They're doing the same Same thing every night Yeah

Enjoy the podcast. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Now, we had Shishoka getting to work this morning, didn't we? Oh, a lot of roads closed, yeah. Yeah, there's roadworks. Seems to be all over the country, wherever you're going. You were mentioning the other day in Tauranga. There's a lot of roadworks more down there.

Yeah, roadworks all through Christchurch at the moment as well. But the thing is, Ben, I'm always like, well, can I just sneak through the coast? No, it doesn't look like anyone's doing anything there. They're leaning on appliances, sitting on, leaning against trucks. Someone's taking away a couple of cars. Can I just sneak through? I'll go through like 30Ks now.

This is why you came back to work and you had how many parking tickets? And more came through the other day, actually. A lot. A lot. You are funding the councils around the country, aren't you? Yeah. Everywhere you go, you know, funding the councils. You can thank me for all of your water and your electricity.

Do they do that in electricity? Probably not. No, but yeah. But I know that, you know, I'm sorry, I'm taking the focus away because I know you've put on our shared sheet about the show. You want to talk about one of your favourite things, garlic bread. Yeah, I mean, have you ever come across anyone who doesn't enjoy garlic bread? Oh, well, yeah. Some people find it quite carby, I guess, is probably the thing, right? Oh, well, yeah. I'd say some people find it quite carby,

I guess is probably the thing, right? Oh, I love it. It's like... No, but you're such a... You know, that is you. That's you to a T, though, right? Just build... Look at this body,

just fueled by just carbs. No, no, no. Like, hey, I enjoy garlic bread as well, but I'm not like, man, I've got to go out and have a garlic bread. Whoever the culinary genius was

who decided to combine garlic and bread, jeez, put them in the history books. Because for me, like, approaching dinner, it's like washing my hands. Garlic bread before dinner? Yeah, but that's because you don't eat lunch the day. Because I've eaten lunch, I'm like, I can take

or leave garlic bread. Every time we go out on a work trip and I'm in a restaurant with us and we're having dinner, I'm like, garlic bread for the table. No one doesn't enjoy it. No one. Does producer Behem's is it gluten free? Did you eat the garlic bread for the table. No one doesn't enjoy it. No one. Does producer Bee Hubs is it gluten free? Did you eat the garlic bread? Even he does. He powers on through it. He's gluten intolerant.

He loves it. Well you're not the only one talking about bread. Chris Hipkins, new Prime Minister yesterday. Bread was top of mind for him. Have a listen. So that we can move our resources where we need to to address the bread and butter issues that New Zealanders are most concerned about. If you'd say garlic bread and butter issues that New Zealanders are most concerned about. If you'd say garlic bread and butter issues,

he's got my vote in October. The problem is the next morning, though, it really sits with you, doesn't it, garlic? Oh, the taste. Yeah, the garlicky taste sometimes. It's so good at the moment. The next day is very regretful. But yeah, who doesn't like garlic bread?

Gluten intolerant people and vampires probably. Yeah, 4, 4, 8, 7 actually. There's still a quick poll. Can we find

someone who doesn't like garlic bread? I reckon we will. I reckon we will. Someone's phoning

through right now. Let's go live. Look at that. Garlic bread. It's raw dog it, mate. Let's go. Do you not

like garlic bread? Oh, then they hung up. They might have been calling for the Shortland Street Watch to win.

That's coming up very shortly Talking about the big bread and butter issues That the new Prime Minister was talking about So that we can move our resources where we need to To address the bread and butter issues That New Zealanders are most concerned about We're also talking about the bread and butter issues I don't know if that was what he was quite

The garlic bread and butter. You were saying how good was garlic bread, and you put it out there, does anyone not like garlic bread? I'm sure there'd be lots of people, even though it's a much-loved part of a meal. I don't think you would. I don't think...

You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone listening right now who doesn't enjoy garlic bread. Lee, you phone through. You're not a garlic bread fan? Lee? Yeah, I'm a garlic bread fan? Lee? Yeah, I'm a garlic bread fan, but my flatmate's mum's not. So technically, still can't find anyone

listening who doesn't enjoy garlic bread. No, but you know someone that doesn't. Your flatmate's mum? Why doesn't she like garlic bread? She has it. She goes like someone's been stbed by a bee. Awesome.

And is allergic to bees. Allergic. Swallows up big time. Allergic to what? The garlic? Yeah. She can't have garlic at all. Even in gravy, she can't have it.

Well, she wouldn't be eating garlic. She could be a vampire. That's the bread and butter issues that she's facing, Johnno, this morning. Lee, thank you very much for your call. Stick by my words. Still can't find anyone who doesn't enjoy it. Hey, speaking of restaurants this morning uh this is a story out of the uk but there's a restaurant called spice cottage now they've made a promo video for their indian restaurant to celebrate the new year so nothing really unusual there they put the video on facebook

showing their new decor in the restaurant uh you put it up and said there's a new promo video and then a lady named lucy commented commented and she said how old is the footage and they're like well this is this is from last week this is from the new year and she's like well no it's not because in the restaurant that's my husband and he's been dead since 2014 he's sitting there with my son

and he's been dead since 2014 and they're like no no it's the new decor it's all over the place new decor mate how many times have we had to say we spent all Christmas putting in new decor new decor and she's like, no, no, it's the new decor. It's all over the place. New decor, mate? How many times have we had to say it? We spent all Christmas putting in new decor. New decor. She's like, well, no, no. It's either my dead husband is actually alive or this is like a ghost in the restaurant.

Where's the son, though? Well, the son's there. That's why I was like, well, the son's there. Is the son with her? Yeah, well, somebody should be able to say, hey, I was at the restaurant. Anyway, I don't know. Surely the son would just go.

Yeah. Yeah. But she's like he's eating a chicken korma because that's all he ate and he's in there and they're like yeah so they're getting

and they're like but have you seen the new decor new drapes you've really taken the focus away from the new decor we wanted to showcase that new tables napkins

knives forks everything you name it and you're focusing on your dumbass dead husband I'm not dumbass. Don't say that.

It's swatting. The Hits. The Jono and Ben Podcast. Amy Winehouse's, there's actually a movie being made right now. I started filming. It's called Back to Black about Amy Winehouse being filmed in London right now. Oh, like an acted movie? Yeah, an acted movie.

Yes. The documentary was so sad. It was really sad, wasn't it? Yeah. Wasn't it? Just leeches circling around her. Yeah, really troubled sort of life, unfortunately, but amazing, amazing talent.

Who's playing Amy Winehouse? An actor, obviously, who I hadn't heard of before. Producer Joel? We haven't seen Laura McGoldrick for a while. Maybe it's her. It might be her. She's got an amazing voice, isn't she? And she acts.

She's got an outrageous fortune, Laura McGoldrick. I know. What are we doing? Nothing. I don't know. She's got many strings to her bow't she? And she acts. She's an outrageous fortune, Laura McGoldrick. I know. What are we doing? Nothing. I don't know. She's got many strings to her bow. We're just running half a string. We're kind of doing this okay.

I bumped into an old colleague of ours, who you may or may not know, Guy Williams, who is a comedian, tours the country. New Zealand Today is a television show. We worked with him for many years on John Ombi and our TV show. He's very tall very loud very loud very very loud

very tall you had him on a podcast yesterday did you have to turn down the microphone oh yeah we did actually he came in but he says

he's like I'm very loud you're going to have to turn that down and everyone does turn down the volume and he still talks everyone's like

whoa whoa whoa you don't even need a microphone for him he could just yell and people would hear him in bluff. Yeah, it was producer Joel's first experience with Guy Williams. How did you find his loudness? It was good, but we weren't actually in like a real studio.

And apparently they're having a meeting in the room next door. And we walked out like, who was screaming in that podcast? Yelling the whole time. Guy Williams. He's got one volume and it's volume 10. But yeah, I bumped into him on the street and he was asking how Oscar, my son's going and I said

because I was like, oh, he's got a connection with you. Guy loves basketball and I said, oh, he's basketball obsessed, you know. He wants to go off to a US college and do the thing. He's like, if I can give you one bit of advice, inject him with growth hormones

and he was serious he said dead dead straight he's like he'll go he'll grow another foot so i say you see are you suggesting i go and buy some growth hormones and stare them into his thigh sort of every second day just so we can get another foot but it did intrigue me and now i'm ashamed to say that i googled is it okay to inject because this is my retirement he makes it to the big leagues man i'm done don't see you won't see me here okay fees off plan for the bloody why is he helping you out though who my son yeah because i've paid for every day of his life but how much are you feeding back to your parents right now hey how much are you feeding back to your parents right now? How much are you feeding back to your parents right now? I get them a Prezi card at Christmas.

All right, I see, I see. But yeah, no, I Googled it, and apparently you can. It can help you. He's not a chicken that... Trying to hook up with... Trying to fatten it up. But you can do it as they're growing. Once they stop growing, it's not going to work.

So now's the time. It sounds awful. Like, I think you'd want to talk to medical professionals before you get Guy Williams' and the internet's advice. It also says I have cancer. Yeah, as well as that. Well, maybe you know. Is it okay for me to start injecting my son with growth hormones?

And if it is, I'll endorse it. I'll fully back it. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. Brand new prime minister for New Zealand yesterday. 41st prime minister, Chris Hipkins, was sworn in as prime minister. Jacinda Ardern texted him as she left parliament.

Do you know what she texted him? Tag, you're it. That was apparently what she... I thought she'd be like, sucked in. Your problem now, mate. Laters. Good luck. I don't know, sarcastic.

Good luck with the thumbs up emoji. Good luck with that one. I left you, mate. But a momentous day for Chris Hipkins. So congratulations. First day as Prime Minister. And also the first official day that radio hosts and savvy internet creators mock and ridicule him

for any mistakes or faux pas he might have over the coming months. Well, something we really, really enjoyed, it was about a week ago, he was accosted. You know, Labour had this sort of retreat and he was going for an early morning walk. He was in his tracksuit and he was wearing what looked like service station sunglasses, the sort of speed dealers, you know, the ones in sort of a black cap as well and he was accosted by the media oh come on don't interview me with my tracksuit it's not fair yeah so he didn't really want to talk but it's oh come on please it's become like a meme because the footage was everywhere the photos were everywhere and we thought well it looks like he's less Labour-leaning and probably more of an ACT voter in that combo.

But we're giving you a chance to win this iconic outfit. That's right. The sunglasses and the cap are similar to what he wore. This is like, you know, when Kardashian wore Marilyn Monroe's dress to the Met Gala. This is New Zealand's Met Gala outfit. Yeah. So 0800 the hits if you want to win a pair of what is like

service station sunglasses and a black cap, you could win big right now. THE HITS, the Jono and Ben podcast. The Oscars announced yesterday and we're saying it was pretty cool to see a couple of the blockbuster mainstream movies like Elvis, Top Gun and Avatar in the mix with the critically acclaimed, fanciest sort of movies as well. What about your hero, The Rock's Black Adam? Any nominations there?

Yeah, no, snubbed. But he snubbed as well. A few surprises as well, as far from Black Adam not being there, you know, with The Rock. No Best Director for James Cameron for Avatar, even though Avatar was nominated for a few movies. It was eligible. Yeah, Baz Luhrmann as well from Elvis wasn't up for Best Director, even though that was, again, few movies. It was eligible. Yeah, Baz Luhrmann as well from Elvis

was an up for Best Director, even though that was again one of the movies that was in the mix. And no Best Actor for Tom Cruise, but he is a producer on Top Gun, which is in for the Best Movie. So still a chance of winning an Oscar, but not as Best Actor. I'm going to see the Briscoe's lady getting another nomination as well.

He does a wonderful performance shifting Manchester. But with more from Hollywood, let's bring in Ante. Spilling the tea on Hollywood's A-listers. Kardashians. I have met every single one.

Exposing scandals. She's not a good person but either is he. Digging the dirt. Is she a diva? Yes. And finding out

what's going on behind the scenes. Yelling at cast members. Yes. It was a script. No. His identity is a

secret. But his stories have been proven right time and time again. This is NT. Time now for our weekly toll call to America, and live in Hollywood, NT is with us. Alec Baldwin, about to go to trial for the accidental shooting on his film set, NT. Yeah, he hasn't actually, I mean, for this, he hasn't been to trial.

So for everybody who doesn't know, there was a shooting October of 21 on the movie set of Rust. Alec Baldwin had a gun in his hand. He says that he didn't pull the trigger. He just cocked the hammer. There was a live round in the chamber, and it ended up killing Helena Hutchins, who's the cinematographer on it. So that's been October 21. We're now in January 23. Finally, last week, the district attorney for this town in New Mexico, where the shooting occurred, decided to indict Alec Baldwin and also a woman by the name of Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who is the armor on the movie, and then another gentleman who was an assistant director who has pleaded guilty to a reckless endangerment charge, which is what I thought that Alec would probably be charged with.

I thought that involuntary manslaughter might be a little bit of a reach. That's what the prosecutor went with. It's something that the maximum sentence that he could get is 18 months in jail. I was just about to ask, is prison time actually on the horizon for him? I doubt it. First of all, he'd have to be convicted. Second of all, a judge would have to say, OK, well, you need some time in jail. Because the one who pleaded guilty, they got a suspended sentence and six months of probation.

I would imagine Alec would probably get the same thing. And again, like I said, they have to find him guilty first. Now, his acting career, is that done for? Because it's hard to watch someone like Alec and maybe even Will Smith and not think about the previous incidents. As far as his career being boxed off as poison, I mean, he was just given an award by some film festival a couple of months ago for lifetime achievement.

So, again, Kevin Spacey was also given a lifetime achievement award last week in Italy. So, you know, you never know in Hollywood. If somebody thinks they're going to make a buck, then Alec will keep working. Well, mate, next thing you know, Weinstein's out. He's getting another Academy Award, mate. Sad, sad situation, that's for sure.

Let's go to a bit of a happier one. Megan, the movie about the... Is it a happier movie? Well, it's not a happier movie, but it's a happier story. The movie that was actually filmed in New Zealand about the scary killer robot, the robot toy. It seems to be doing really well overseas in America. Oh, yeah.

I mean, I'm sure there'll be, you know, like 18 sequels to it. New Zealand director, New'm sure there'll be, you know, like 18 sequels to it. New Zealand director, New Zealand actress, Alison Williams, who's kind of got a streak going on with horror movies right now, Get Out and then Megan. And I think what was brilliant

was the New Zealand director who decided one day when he found out that the actress who plays the girl could dance and said, you know what I want to do is I want to just take a day and i want you just to film a whole bunch of dances and then they did that and then

that became the whole marketing thing which you know led to tiktok which led to people wanting to go see it so i i think that that was a brilliant move because it was not conceived to have any kind of dance scenes or anything like that geez once you blow up on the talk it's all good did you know indy we actually know Gerard, the director. He was like, oh, I've done this strange little movie about this weird little doll robot. He's like, I don't know how it's going to go. But it's blowing because it was made for 12 mil

and it's pulled in over 130 already. Yeah, well, that's what you want horror movies to do, right? The first horror movies each time are made for pittance, whether it's like Blair Witch Project or, you know, Paranormal Activity or anything like that,

they're made for a very little amount of money and then they make a ton of money. Horror is the one place where you can just, like, roll the dice and you can just say,

you know, we'll probably get our money back. Yes, it's amazing news for Gerard. I'm very happy for him and his mortgage repayments. Hey, Andy, thank you very much for your time.

We'll catch you next week. Hey, you too, you guys. There's actually a court case going on in America right now to do with fans of Taylor Swift and some big sort of drama that happened with one of the ticketing websites over there. But one of the things we've really enjoyed is that one of the lawyers loves inserting Taylor Swift lyrics into the court case songs like all too well have a listen

as a uh ode to Taylor Swift I will say we know all too well to be honest I had hoped um as of a few months ago to get the gavel back but once again she's chair captain and i'm on the bleachers and may i suggest respectfully that ticketmaster ought to look in the mirror and say i'm the problem it's me so good all the lawyers sound like they're doing it there so very cool well if you could focus less on inserting taylor swift songs and actually working on my case it would probably be most appreciate because i'm paying you by the hour and you're very expensive. Ben, I got scammed yesterday. Did you?

I got scammed and I want to warn the public. It's a duty of ours. We're responsible broadcasters to inform you for something that you need to look out for as well. It's the free tests. Come and get a free test. Come and get a free one. Was the test free?

Well, the test was free. Yeah, well, there you go. You didn't get scammed. So we work in radio. We wear headphones all the time. I'm concerned about the long-term impacts of hearing and whether I'm going to have hearing loss. I used to.

I was like, oh, go get a hearing test. Come get a free hearing test. And I'm walking in there going, I bet they're going to say I'm deaf. Do the hearing test. Guess what? What there going I'm bet they're gonna say I'm deaf do the hearing test guess what what you've got some hearing well you've got hearing issues you always say that every day there you're like yeah but it was always gonna be the case it was always going in it's like come and get a free wheel alignment guess what your wheels are gonna be out of whack I actually

know to be fair I got a free uh eye test. And I was like, same as you. I kind of walked in there going, they're going to tell me. I'm blind. I need glasses. I need glasses. They're going to tell me. And at the end of it, the guy was like, hey, you don't need glasses. One day in the future, you probably will.

And that most people will. But right now you don't. And I was like, oh, my goodness. Thank you for your honesty. So there you go. So it's not necessary. Well, you obviously got a good one. There's the 99.9% of them

who are scamming us. We all got a bunch of free COVID tests, didn't we? That all turned out to be a lie. Oh, jeez. Here we go. It's the pharmaceuticals and Cindy bloody trying to control us. Here we go. Let her go. She's gone, mate. She's gone. Let her go. The police pulled me over the other day, gave me a

free breath test. I was like, here we go. I bet they're going to say I'm positive. I bet they're going to say I've failed the test. Yeah, what do you know? Turns out. Yeah, nothing to do with what you've been doing earlier. Now, I bought a random item. I purchased a random item on my travels through America for a family Christmas.

And you can win the item right now on 0800THEHIT. Something I got mocked for. I've been mocked for because I didn't buy much stuff over there because it was more about the experience and the exchange rate sucks. It was more about the experience and the exchange rate. You said you didn't buy a thing. Well, the only thing, I was at the Lakers, which is my dream to see LeBron play. My kids are like, you've got to buy something. I'm like I was at the Lakers which is my dream to see LeBron play and my kids the kids are like

oh hang on appeal it again can you believe that man procreated yeah that's even got the opportunity to that's pretty much the mocking that I get

from most people because if you had to well I guess maybe they didn't know about it or Amanda didn't know about it because you didn't have to get it out of your wallet the protection

exactly so I'm under the hits right now 4487 what is the random item? There's been a few guesses that have come through so far. Is it a piece of sporting equipment? Is it an oversized pack of Doritos?

Basketball signed by LeBron James. My guess is a drink bottle. My nanny is going to have a piano, cordial and a nursery key. Can you use it in cooking? No. Mickey Mouse salt and pepper shakers? No. Is it anything to do with cowboy boots?

No, nothing to do with it. Good guesses are coming through there. Can I just say there's some rock solid stuff from everyone there? Everyone's talking over each other. It's a great audio highlight. It's good. Good work, team. I'll tell you what, after the the show let's go and have a good

a good conversation conversation about this yeah we should yeah i don't know what was wrong with that i thought it was all perfect uh so so we know it's a disney item it's a mickey mouse item but it is very random if you guess it it's in the suitcase right here in the studio right now john you don't know what it is. I have no idea and you're like, I can tell you so you know. I don't want to know. I don't want to know because you brought it back from America. I thought it might have been the Declaration of Independence.

No, it's Disney themed. We're going to go to Michaela. You're on from Palmy. How are you? Hi. What do you reckon, Michaela? I reckon it's a Mickey Mouse clock. A Mickey Mouse clock?

It is not a Mickey Mouse clock. Good guess, though. Good guess. I do have one at home, actually. Do you have any further clues you can give today? Oh, we'll see how the guesses go. Mickey Mouse is, you know, it's a Mickey Mouse something. And we said yesterday that a lot of houses would have this item in their house,

I would imagine, but not a Mickey Mouse one of these. Karen, let's go to Wellington. How are you in the capital this morning, Kaz? It's all good down here, thank you. Very good. Have a crack. What's in Ben's suitcase? Win $100 American and what the item is?

I reckon it's a little Mickey Mouse. It's a little stand that you can put your teapot on, a little hot stand for your teapot. She's gone deep. She has gone deep. She's gone deep because you did say it was a little stand that you can put your teapot on, a little hot stand for your teapot. She's gone deep. She has gone deep. She's gone deep because you did say it was a little different. Yeah, it's a little random, but it's not that. Good guess, though.

Very good guess. I'm sorry it's not that. Rebecca, how are you, man? You good, Rebecca? Yeah, I'm good. Yeah, I am. Oh, good. Good, good.

Sorry, I rattled things at the beginning there. She's like, oh, I, I'm good. Yeah, I am. Oh, good. Good, good. Sorry, I rattled things at the beginning there. She's like, oh, I guess I'm good. What's in Ben's suitcase, Rebecca? So I was going to say clock, but someone else guessed that. So a watch? No. Mickey Mouse watch? Not a watch.

I do like those Mickey Mouse watches, but it's not that. Let's go take some quickfire options. Oh, Podake, Leticia, you're on. What do you reckon? I think some kind of artwork, a picture frame canvas of Mickey Mouse. Picture frame canvas? No, not a canvas. Sonia, what do you reckon? Last guess for today.

Is it a lunchbox? Ooh. No, it's not. Not a lunchbox. Good guess. That was a really good guess. What I love is the longer this tedious competition goes on the better for us because if it's still going in a year or two

and they're like your contract's up and we're like well we can't finish because Watson Ben's suitcase isn't ready just open the suitcase and show us

the hits the Jono and Ben podcast now I know wherever in the country you are listening from the top to the bottom right across Aotearoa people forget

dates yeah they do you've forgotten your anniversary twice I have I should laugh

because it wasn't it wasn't it wasn't funny at the time because I've got even got the date tattooed onto my forearm and that's

very hard to come back from you say it wasn't funny at the time but it's very funny now you can laugh about it now yeah we can all laugh about it I don't know if my wife Amanda but it's very funny now. You can laugh about it now. Yeah, we can all laugh about it. I don't know if my wife, Maddie, can laugh about it now. At least we can laugh about it now.

That's right. But Mike Tindall. Now, Mike Tindall is married to, is it Princess Zara? I don't know, mate. You've got this deep dive on some random podcast. Listen, we're laughing because I said, hey, I've got this thing from Mike Tindall and Princess Zara and they're like,

what wrong turn on the internet did you take to end up listening to a Mike Tindall Princess Zara podcast? It was from a podcast. He was answering

these questions and I'm like, I don't care, mate. But you're like, no, it's good. It's good stuff. We're in here now, right? And if you want to know

how I ended up in it, it's because I've been clicking on so much Harry content. They're like, you might also like Mike Tindall. And I was like, yeah. So he used to be the former, and I was like, yeah, I like Mike Tindall. Not I might also like. Take the word also out. And he used to have a nose that was going in all sorts of directions.

He was a rugby player, right? Yeah. England. His nose couldn't make up which way it wanted to go. It was like that sign in Bluff, you know,

pointing to all the different countries and that was his nose. He's got it all straightened out though. Yeah, yeah. It's all travelling down the same motorway

at the moment. But anyway, he's interviewing for some reason his wife, Princess Zara, who's an Olympic horse rider.

That's her equestrian, right? Equestrian. And he forgets what year they got married. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Yeah, in 2012, you married a legend. Who said that?

I don't know. Didn't we get married in 2011? No, sorry. Yes, we did. In 2011, you married a legend but I do love it because he comes in

quite cocky going married a legend meaning himself not much of a legend can't even remember what year it was well at least he can probably

blame concussion that's right if you ever want to put someone in a pressure cooker situation group conversation

at a party or a restaurant just go what's your wedding day yeah and even if you know it yeah you still feel like you don't and you might get it wrong yeah like how long have you been together people are oh you know yeah throw that out really chucks catamakes the pigeons do it towards the end of the night because otherwise it can make things awkward if you do it at the beginning but yeah i want to open this up. When you've mistimed an event. Yeah.

You've got the date wrong, turned up to the wrong event maybe. Ben, what I can remember is us. It was a bleak Monday night. We were flying to Wellington for work. It was 10.30 p.m. And you know how they say you can't beat Wellington on a good day. Well, this was one of the 364 other days that Wellington has. We turn up, it was rainy, windy, and you're like, my dad, Kevin Boyce, will be here.

We organised it. You're like, we should get a cab. I was like, no, no, my dad will be there. I text him, he's like, yep, I'm all good. And then we arrived and he wasn't there. We waited for a long time. I'm like, you still good to pick us up? He's like, yep, all good.

I'm like, well, we are at the airport. He's like, today? I thought you were coming tomorrow. Hey, GC,c on that phone call he went through the seven stages of grief didn't he was like denial anger then he was bargaining with us uh depressed and then he finally accepted it uh but yes oh 800 the hits you've mistimed an event you've turned up to the wrong thing you got the wrong date whatever the hits Jono and Ben podcast. Talking mistimed events. 0800 the Hits telephone number when you've turned up to the

wrong thing at the wrong time, wrong day, whatever. Emily, good morning. You're mistimed event. Good morning. How are you guys? We're doing well. You had the right idea, just the wrong event. Yes. What happened? So my hairdresser and makeup artist for my wedding

ended up going to Arthur's Pass instead of Coleridge, so an hour and a half in the wrong direction. So when did they realize? Probably when they got there, actually. That's a stupid question, Ben. But did that cause a lot of stress for your day? There might have had to be a few glasses of wine, and then one of my bridesmaids sort of started trying to do it.

But they did end up coming. But yeah, it was very stressful. How did they end up an hour and a half away from the venue? Well, I actually think this was the time before Google Maps. So they're probably showing my age. Gotcha. Yeah. The old map book,

or when you asked people for directions were the only options back then, weren't they? That's right. That's right. Every time I ask for directions, I always start blanking out after they're given the second direction. Yeah, you go up there to your left, you go, got that, and then that's it.

That's all I get. You got your makeup on, you got the wall paint on, it looked wonderful. Oh, yeah, it turned out all right. But, yeah, that was the problems with having it in a rural location. Now, tell me, tell me, when the makeup artist was working on your wonderful face there, Emily, did she zero in on your eyebrows?

Because every time we have to do anything involving a makeup artist for work, they talk to me about my big long eyebrows and how they're out of control and I have to have an eyebrow trimming. Do they have to trim your eyebrows? No, I'd already had that done previously so it's like you did point out the gray hair that she did yeah you know john you can you can trim your own eyebrows so you don't have to wait till we do something on i like to grow my eyebrows out so they're like a broom and i can sweep the floor with them my husband keeps feeling but we did that when the hairdresser offers to do

his eyebrow oh that's the otherresser offers to do his eyebrows. Oh, that's the other mistake I made once. I went to the barber and the barber was like, you want me to do a, want me to shave the eyebrows? Said it in a tone that it was a common practice, common practice within the barber industry. Obviously very common. And then I came back upstairs and Ben said, where are your eyebrows? They're gone. They're clean off. They're gone. They're clean off.

They're gone. Maybe it was a prank. Hey, good on you, mate. You're going to have a great day, Emily. I will. Thank you, guys. You're so good. Heather, you're on the radio.

Oh, am I? With your heroes. Who's your favorite? You. Hang on. I'm here, too. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, Ben's here. Great. Now, yeah, well, hang on, I'm here too. Ben's here. Oh, well, both. Yeah, that's it, yeah, Ben's here, great.

Both of you, yeah. Now, listen, Heather, you mistimed an event. Yeah, I thought it was at the right event, but I was a bit dumbfounded when I got there and thought, shit, I don't know anybody here. It's the wrong one, all right. Where did you go? To a 21st.

Was it a 21st? Well, I think so. It could have been the bloody funeral, all I know. I actually got the wrong date. It was the following weekend. See, we're never in the right night. No. Speaking of funerals, we just had a text here, 4487, Heather.

Someone who wanted to go to their good friend's mother's funeral turned up to the church 10 minutes into it, realised they were at the wrong funeral. Oh, that's terrible. That would be... But they were too embarrassed to leave,

so they sat through the funeral. They just took it out. Yeah. Which, you understand, that's lovely. It's lovely to stick around. But then you kind of get trapped up in conversation outside. Oh, they're a wonderful person. Cond you understand, it's lovely. It's lovely to stick around. But then you kind of get trapped up in conversation outside. Oh, they're a wonderful person.

Condolences, condolences. Oh, well. Nice to talk to you guys. Are you wrapping us up, are you, Heather? Oh, well, you know, it's time to have a coffee. Yeah, it's time to make

some music too, John. That's what the boss would say. I was only getting started. I can tell you lots of other things that I've done. I can tell you one thing, that I did use dog soap for a week before someone told me it was dog soap.

Yeah, I wondered why it was hard and, you know, rough. And I'd smell like a dog? It was a bit rough. You should have wrapped yourself up. You wrapped it up. You wrapped everyone up. Oh, good on you. Have a good one. Right-o. See you later, guys. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Silver Ferns just narrowly lost to Australia in the quad series final.

Yeah, 56-50. So very close game, that one. But sadly just lost this morning. South Africa, eh? Yeah. Yeah. See Djokovic. Novak Djokovic.

Novak's, yeah. Novak's Djokovic. He's rolling through the Australian Open yeah he's playing well he's a good tennis player isn't he one went to four in the morning didn't it

the other day yeah I think Andy Murray started the game and then he ended up finishing his game at four in the morning imagine I was thinking the people in the audience

the people watching some of them were babysitters you'd be texting going oh the tennis is still home shortly yeah you're like

four in the morning jeez yeah alright we're talking mistimed events going, oh, the tennis is still shot. Home shortly. Yeah, you're like. Four in the morning. Jeez, yeah. All right, we're talking mistimed events. 0800, that's the telephone number when you've turned up to the wrong thing at the wrong time, wrong day, whatever. Emily, good morning. You're mistimed event. Good morning.

How are you guys? We're doing well. You had the right idea, just the wrong event. Yes. What happened? So my hairdresser and makeup artist for my wedding ended up going to Arthur's Pass instead of like Coleridge so she's like an hour and a half in the wrong direction

So when did they realise, probably when they got there actually, that's a stupid question Ben but did that cause a lot of stress for your day? There might have had to be a few glasses of wine and then one of my bridesmaids sort of started trying to do it. But they did end up coming, but, yeah, it was very stressful. How did they end up an hour and a half away from the venue? Well, I actually think this was the time before Google Maps, so they're probably showing my age. Gotcha.

Yeah. The old map book, or when you asked people for directions, were the only options back then, weren't they? That's age. Gotcha. Yeah. The old map book, you know, or when you ask people for directions were the only options back then, weren't they? That's right. That's right. Every time I ask for directions, I always start blanking out after they've given the second direction. Yeah, you go up there, turn left, you go, got that,

and then that's it. That's all I get. You got your makeup on, you got the wall paint on, it looked wonderful. Oh, yeah, it turned out all right.

Did they have to trim your eyebrows? No, I'd already had that done previously. So it's like you did point out the grey hair that she does. Yeah.

You know, Jonna, you can trim your own eyebrows too. You don't have to wait until we do something. I like to grow my eyebrows out so they're like a broom and I can sweep the floor with them. Yes, my husband keeps telling me, but wear it out when the hairdresser offers to do his eyebrows. Oh, that's the other mistake I made once. I went to the barber and the barber was like,

you want me to do a, want me to shave the eyebrows? Said it in a tone that it was a common practice, common practice within the barber industry. Obviously very common. And then I came back upstairs and Ben said, wear your eyebrows? They're clean off. They're gone.

Now listen, Heather, you mistimed an event. Yeah, I thought it was at the right event, but I was a bit dumbfounded when I got there and thought, shit, I don't know anybody here. It's the wrong one, all right.

Where did you go? To a 21st. Was it a 21st? Well, I think so. It could have been a bloody funeral, all I know. I actually got the wrong date. It was the following weekend. So you wouldn't have been on the right night.

No. Speaking of funerals, we just had a text here, 4487, Heather. Someone who wanted to go to their good friend's mother's funeral turned up to the church

10 minutes into it and realised they were at the wrong funeral. Oh, that's terrible. That would be. But they were too embarrassed to leave. They just took it out.

Yeah. Which, you understand, that's lovely. It's lovely to stick around. But then you're going to get trapped up in conversation outside. Oh, they're a wonderful person. Condolences, condolences. Oh, well.

Everything's good. We're going to have a hot day today. Lovely. Sticky. Sticky, sticky weather around a lot of parts of the country, including Christchurch. Yeah, so enjoy that. Yeah, thanks. How sticky are you?

Let's not go into that. Not as sticky as Auckland's weather, that's for sure. I'm pretty sticky. Ben, how sticky are you at the moment? Not too bad at the moment. Listen, Amy, five words. You know how it works. You slowly make your way up to the $5,000 round.

When do you think you might pussy out? Are you going to take it the whole way?'ll see how we go but we might take it the whole way and it's a lot of money what are you going to spend it on um i need a ride on lawnmower oh that'd be nice how big are your lawns um well we have a 12 acre property and our lawns probably it takes us about an hour and a half with a push mower, so. Sheesh, that'd get you sticky. That's your one. Yeah, exactly. Who do you want to send into the soundproof, both Jono or Ben? Jono, please. All right. He's heading on in there, Amy. He's in there now. Here we go. Let's rip into your first word. First word this morning is smiley smiley smiley face yeah that's what i was thinking as well elevator

is the second word elevator um door elevator door margarine is word number three. Madrine butter. Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking as well. What pops into your head when I say prom? Like American prom. P-R-O-M. Night prom dress. Dress?

We'll go with prom night. Night. Prom night. Yeah, that's a good one. And plastic is the final word. Plastic. Oh, there's lots of that one. Yeah.

Plastic bottle. Plastic bottle. All right. There are your five words. It's bringing Jono back out of the soundproof booth, rushing on round. New feature we've installed in there for 23 is the booth slowly fills up with water. So the longer you're in there, it's like a magic trick. So you've got to be quicker or else we drown.

You got it. All right, here we go. Let's rip into it. Let's see if we can win Amy some money. Word one, $25. This is the $25 word I said to Amy Smiley. What would you say back to Smiley, Jono? A face.

Let's do that again. You got $25. Woohoo. That's good, Amy. Are we going up to 50? Yes, please. Word two, $50. Elevator is the second word. Elevator.

Lift. Oh, no. Door. Elevator door is what Amy went. That was the tricky one, that one. Yeah, Amy, I couldn't do it for you. It looks like you're going to be pushing that lawnmower around a bit longer. I'm so sorry. That's all right.

We'll manage. Thank you. What are the remaining ones? Let's go through the remaining ones. Okay, a margarine container. Butter. Prom. Prom.

Prom dance. And plastic. Bag. Okay, you guys didn't quite match up today. I'm so sorry, Amy, but you enjoy the wonderful weather today. Yeah, thank you. Have a good day. We've been lucky enough to do this job for a while now,

working in radio and TV and in the media, and we've been fortunate to have some pretty cool moments, you know, interviewing people like Ed Sheeran or Justin Bieber, The Rock. You remember last year when we went across there and The Rock knew, he knew that I had this signature on, you know, my tattoo and he put a signature on my bottom and we got that tattooed as well.

So I feel like you've had some pretty standout moments. Yeah, right. Are they tentpole moments in your career? Yeah, for me they are. But for my kids uh the other day particularly uh my daughter sienna uh there was a moment that happened with the both of us just just before we went into summer holiday we hosted something on tiktok and we hosted the end of year showcase which is awesome live stream live stream um but that popped up on the whole

the problem with the live stream though is you don't get the time to go for your own live stream. You're just locked in there. Yeah. 90 minutes. The whole time I'm thinking, man, and we keep saying the word live stream, and all I can think about is I need... Do you need to go to the bathroom?

Yeah, yeah. No, fair enough. I always tell you you need to go before me, but anyway, you don't listen to me. Yeah, so we were hosting this thing on TikTok. You know, it's obviously huge, TikTok right now. And we had a little promo that popped up on the for you page of tiktok and my goodness my daughter sienna came out and this

was a feeling i've never had before as a dad she was like oh my god you are on tiktok i'm like yeah yeah you're on the for you page on tiktok you and john i'm like yeah yeah we're doing this thing on tiktok but it's on tiktok it was like this was this is what i imagine what parents would feel if their kids were proud of you i imagine she was more proud that you managed to log into tiktok you created a cat it's like when i figured out my mom could send emojis you know i was like she knows how to attach the eggplant to a text yeah that's when you're like it's when the younger generations that's it's probably just a sign of your age they're just they're just impressed that you know that this thing exists. Well, TikTok know who we are.

They're putting us on TikTok as well. But yeah, we made it in their eyes. It's like, we have done some other stuff. It didn't matter. It didn't matter. It was like TikTok, you're on the For You page. Your friends are messaging us. Oh, he's on TikTok.

It's like, I'm on the radio every morning. I'm on, you know. But no, this was a big deal. The For You page is ironic too because you might not necessarily been For Everyone. I don't think I was For Anyone. Really?

I definitely wasn't For Anyone. That was a For You question mark. But hey, well done. You know the rules of life. Every time a child's impressed with you, an older person, you gain another year. Is that why?

You just chalked another year to your life. There's a boy in Britain, four years old. He's become the youngest member of Mensa, which is the people with extremely high IQ. He taught himself to read, two years old. What a nerd. Taught himself to read. He can count to 100 in about seven different languages as well.

Amazing, yeah. He went to daycare after lockdown, and the daycare people rang up his mum And were like, he can read And he's like, yeah, they taught him himself But they were like, oh my god, he can read None of the other kids can read So pretty incredible

We spoke to a young girl last year Who's like 11 and already at Auckland University Kids are too smart Including our producer Bee Humps' daughter Dottie Moving quickly Now, you mentioned something yesterday That Dottie. Moving quickly now, you mentioned something yesterday that Dottie is saying and referencing and

it feels like something she's learned off you. I imagine conversations she's overheard you having on the phone. Yeah, I think it's work definitely related to our work where I'll be getting designs and artwork created for the show

and then I'll be giving feedback and I'll be talking to Caitlin about it and going, oh, what do you think? Is that logo placement right? I don't know if that logo should be there. Should we take the logo off? Should we move the logo? And now Dottie has she points out logos. She sees stuff and goes

and points at it and goes, there's the logo. Now, Dottie, she's only She is almost two. Thank you for picking that up. Almost two. Hang on, I want to try to carry on that. Just remind me. She's almost two.

So this is an almost two-year-old, which I knew the age of. Yeah, of course you did. She's 12, two, that's right. Is she saying this and you recorded her last night? Yeah, here she is. A wawa. A logo. A what? A logo.

A logo? What's that one? A logo. A logo. A logo. A logo. A logo. A logo.

A logo. So this is on her placemat at dinner time. She's got the design on the placemat and then she points out the logo in the corner. Sounds like the Christmas function when they have to look up the shadow. I know parents hear it a little bit differently. All right, mate, yes, it's a logo. We entered the area. Her version of logo sounds a lot cuter.

So, well, there we go. High usage of logo in the Humphrey household, obviously. How many times are you using logo in a conversation for her to copy and paste that? It's very strange, isn't it? But they do. Kids, they're like little sponges, aren't they? They pick up what you're saying.

Soon she'll be giving her first financial forecast for the next financial year. Hopefully I could do with some advice. That would be quite nice. My daughter Indy, when she was a bit younger, green screen was something that I would often say in movies or TV shows. I'd be like, oh, green screen.

And now she would start going, green screen? Start pointing out the green screen moments and big sort of special effects and something that, yeah. So copycat kids, have you fallen victim to a copycat kid? Sometimes they're like sort of miniature voice recorders, aren't they? Yeah. That can unload at any moment and drop you in a lot of trouble.

What have the kids copied? 0800 The Hits 4487. Maybe they've got any trouble as well with what they've said. You just talked over me there. The Hits. The Jono and Ben Podcast. Thank you for hanging out with us on New Zealand's Breakfast. Good to have you with us. Talking Copycat Kids producer Bee Humps has discovered

that his daughter, two yearyear-old Dottie... Almost two, yeah. Almost two. You're going to get the age wrong again. You know that, though. Saying the word logo, pointing at logos. Got a huge career in graphic design ahead of her. I think so, right?

She's picked up on it after hearing conversations of him saying logo a lot. You gave her an example before, didn't you? Yeah, yeah. Green screen. Green screen was something that I must have said quite often when watching movies and TV shows. Hayley, you're in Hamilton. How are you?

Later that day, we came up, doing some shopping, went to the cash register, and my toddler says to the lady, oh, do you have any penises here here because my mum hasn't got one and needs one. Oh they're on special in aisle 8. It came up.

I don't know what to do. Two for one deal at the moment. What did the lady say? She was embarrassed. She just looked at me and I said don't worry about it. Don't worry, I've got to have that more of a talk with him about it. I mean, it'd be great if I could go dot down and buy one on special. Oh, that's so good.

Ben, we discovered that you, in an effort to create some social media, purchased Prince Harry's book, Spear. And then you created some pun-based content on Instagram. Yeah, like a spear tie joke with the fact that the spear was,

anyway, we don't need to delve on it. It was like, where's the spear tie? And then he opens up the boot of the car and there's Harry's spare. Yeah, that was basically just about, and then I bought the book just to do that little joke, to film that at home. And then I was like, well, I won't open it. I'll get the kids to return it and they can not get the money back.

They can still spend money within the store. So it hadn't been opened, hadn't been read. And I returned it back. $60 it cost me. So he had poured his heart and soul into this book and then you had the audacity to use it as a cheap punchline. I did, I did.

You weren't even going to read it. I know you're saying, oh, and then I thought I'm not going to read it. You knew you weren't going to read it when you walked into that bookstore. I didn't. Yeah, you're right. I didn't buy it to read. I'm not going to read it. You knew you weren't going to read it when you walked into that bookstore. I didn't. Yeah, you're right.
