Welcome to the podcast, where we get cracking into it with a conversation around your bum, Megan. But not by us, it's front footed, it's not around us. We didn't bring out this conversation. No, someone else saw me naked and had some commentary on it. Close family member. Yeah, and they started playing a bum drum, which you'll hear about very shortly. Now, I reckon, Ben, you'd have a good bum drum?

Play the drums on your bum? Yeah. It felt like the comment was in slow motion too, like your bum is like a, and I was like, here we go. Where is this going? Here we go. Play them like the bongos, I guess, wouldn't you? Yeah.

I feel like drums feel tight. The skin is tight over a drum. That's great. I'm going to take that. I feel like it's a compliment, and I'm sure whoever you'll hear who says that, that person was not intending to offend you. No. No.

They never do intend to offend you. Take it as a compliment. Take it as a compliment, I would. Well, here we go go This is the elaborate backstory To what we've just been Lightly dusting over Enjoy the podcast It wasn't Ben that saw me naked

What did he say? What was the feedback? As he whacks it, he says, your bum looks like a drum. He's playing your bum cheeks, is he? How do I take that? It definitely could have been worse. Was it a ba-ba-da-ba? Or was it a da-da-da-da-da-da-da?

Was he like playing a beat? It was a da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Was it like playing a beat? It was a da-da-da-da-da-da-da. Oh, yeah, that's a compliment, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. Well, if you've got playable butt cheeks, you do have to take that as a compliment. I don't know if anyone would have wanted to play my butt cheeks.

Is it a compliment? I mean, definitely, I thought I was, here we go. What's it going to be? Is it going to be jelly? Is it going to be something, you know? Now, as he's playing them, are you clenching? And I was like... You want to create a nice, firm sound, don't you? That's great, buddy.

Can you stop playing my mum drums? My mum drums. Oh, hey, it's not a bad thing. I do remember when my daughter was really little as well. I was at the shower, same situation. She saw my backside, and I've got those tattoos, regrettable tattoos. She's like, why has your mum got a message?

Even at the end, when I was trying to wrap things up, because he's busy. He's got a concert. And at the end, he was like, well, because we're talking about, you know, we mentioned about my daughters briefly. And then afterwards, he goes, we'd stop recording. He goes, what's your daughters' names? And he goes, hey, give me your phone.

I'll do a message for them. I was like, oh, OK. That's nice. You know, people, you don't want to punish people for photos and stuff like that. So, yeah. What did he say? He just said, well, I got him to put some star pimple patches on my face.

So he was washing his hands of that, basically. And saying, it's all your dad's fault. He wanted the video evidence. When he turns up to pick you up with his pimple patches on, it's all your dad's fault. But I was turning up for the interview and it was at a Flash hotel. And I was, you know, there's a lot to do this week. So I was a up for the interview And it was at a Flash hotel And I was You know, there's a lot to do this week So I was a little bit frantic

Trying to get everything done I had that moment where you're like I haven't been to the bathroom in a while Drunk a bit of water Should really go now Before I have to interrupt my Miles Smith interview By going to the bathroom It's amazing how long you can hold on for though

Isn't it? The human body is really It's not a good thing, right? We're good at it in radio Just because we don't get time. So I was like, I'll quickly do it now. Went into the bathroom at the hotel that he was staying at,

down by reception area. And as soon as I walked in, I slipped. And I was like, whoa. And it was like the floor was really wet. And then another guy walked in just after me. He almost did the same thing. And I was like, oh, this is really bad. Did they have one of those yellow triangle signs on the floor?

No, they didn't. I don't know what happened, but the floor was very slippery. And I was like, oh, I've got to go upstairs for this interview. But I don't want anyone to fall over or hit their head or anything like that. So I should really find the cleaner. I should do the nice thing. Karma would say do the nice thing. So I walked around the foyer trying to find the cleaner who had the yellow sign.

He came over and I was like, hey, this floor's really slippery. Slippery when wet. Yeah. And so he put the sign down. I thought, yeah, great. I've done the right thing. I was like, look, someone could fall over, hit their head. I was pointing at that.

And I was like, all right, see you later. I turned around and walked straight to the door. Bang. He's straight to the door. And I was like, the irony of saying that someone could hit their head. And then I smacked my head. And he did that. Oh, you OK?

And then I wasn't OK. But I just went, yeah, I just went yeah I'm fine and I could just feel this lump on my head to start to grow you know I'm about to go upstairs and meet Miles Smith and I've just got this lump and you know and you don't want to look at it because I couldn't look at it but I was like I could just feel it just pulsating and getting like an egg on my head you know so karma going stay in your lane buddy yeah let the guy with the sign do it when he wants to do it i tried to do the nice thing so i had to start the miles smith interview which we're here in a minute by saying nice to meet you which you guys did uh you know dare me to say

My co-host was like, you won't start with Miles Smith, nice to meet you.

We could discuss it after do you know what i'm a little embarrassed because i actually literally just walked into a door down oh no see the lop oh snap yeah oh bless you man yeah yeah like literally like pixie said before who's filming today she's like you're stargazing before but i'm quite embarrassed by the fact i've got on my head but anyway welcome to New Zealand. Lovely to be here. First time in the country, got here yesterday. And I mean, it's just, it's beautiful, isn't it? Because I heard you talk on an Australian radio station.

You were like, oh, Australia, they're so lovely. They're all like smiling at me and friendly. Now, Australia, a little bit of our mortal enemy. How have we been so far? You guys have been incredible. I thought Australians were chill but like you guys are really chill really no not too it's just it's so different from back home but in all the best ways and it's really beautiful man and people are just so lovely that's cool so i'm only here for a

short time yeah plans while you're here or play play the show and then hopefully go see a few sites tomorrow hopefully uh now we you know we love your music on the station and in New Zealand. I was actually in the warehouse this week, which is a store, and your song was playing just after I heard I was going to chat to you. I was like, this is weird. Now, it must be weird for you hearing your music. Yeah, definitely. I mean, hearing it is so strange, and especially on radio.

But sometimes I'll go to a public bathroom when I'm playing, and I'm like, oh, this is strange. Some people are listening to me whilst having a poo is great were you ringing up for wi-fi or something and yeah oh that was the worst day of my life yeah my wi-fi had gone down and i was on hold for about two and a half hours and then just as i thought i was getting somewhere they put me on hold again and i was like at the peak of anger. And then all I hear is, oh. I've never hated myself more. Now, you said the first time you felt famous was when you did a shout out for cookies.

That was wild. Yeah. I said on my story before a show, I really could do with some cookies. And probably like 100 fans turned up with cookies. And it was amazing. That's pretty true. Yeah. Yeah. I bought one for you

i'm cooking from new zealand brother like not sponsored i just got it for the feeding machine thank you so much afterwards uh now you're working in a corporate job before this yeah and trying to get music going at the same time sleeping for what three hours yeah yeah what's the sleep like now it'd be almost probably the same as it for what three hours yeah yeah what's the sleep like now probably the same as it was yeah yeah but a lot more fun and uh you know it's uh it's it's tough you know traveling a lot changing times those all the time like it's been really really cool but it's just an adjusting period you know and uh i wouldn't change it for the world what's been the most painful thing for you um over your career I've got two options for you. Food poisoning?

Explosive food poisoning on stage? Yeah. Or I think you were 11 years old singing your first song about a girl in assembly. What's been the most painful thing? They are up there. They're together. They are right up there at top together. Yeah, I felt mortified after the assembly. But there is nothing like throwing up on yourself and tripping on it.

Yeah, so definitely food poisoning for sure yeah it was that bad yeah pinch yourself moments though let's talk about good stuff i mean you're touring with ed sheeran later on barack obama gave you a shout out yeah it's one of your songs which is awesome yeah i mean what are the what's been the moment so far that you've gone oh my god this is happening uh getting the ed tour was amazing but you know even going to my first tour you know like even we were playing to like maybe 100 and 150 people like the fact that that many people had left their house to come and see me blew my mind and that was right at the start and i think that will always hold a special place in my memory because i remember thinking no one's going to come out of their house to see me and then yeah it sold out and

the tour after did and this one did so it's really cool we love your music thank you thanks so much for being in new zealand appreciate you dude he appreciates you that's a lovely thing he was just a genuinely lovely guy you know which is pretty cool i like when people say appreciate you you know what it's the stage we're used to hanging around you're like i really should leave because he's he's got stuff to do but he's kind of like chatting away you know you're like. There's definitely three other people in that room going, he's got stuff to do. Yeah, no, yeah, yeah. There was.

He did that once with the Prime Minister outside in the reception here at work was talking to us. And Ben kept trying to rap the Prime Minister. Oh, yeah, because you and him were just nattering about something that wasn't important. I'm like, come on. Ben was like, okay then, all right then. We were so late for something.

You both stopped. And I'm like, oh, God. Classy Jono. I know. And the Prime Minister was just being nice. Just dawdling away. And I'm like, oh, God. Classic Jono. And the Prime Minister was just being nice. Just dawdling away. And I'm like, come on, Jono. We've got to go.

Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits. The funniest phone interaction I've had when it comes to customer service last night. We've spoken before that nowadays they don't want to service the customer. No one wants to answer the phone. You've just basically got to service yourself. Don't you?

But customer service has now just turned into how much neglect will you handle before you give up? Or can you even get hold of someone? It's very hard to get hold of someone. I know. Now we sound like old people complaining. No, but it is. Back in the day, you'd just call someone and they'd pick up

and they would deal with your problem. Even when you phone someone now, they're like, have you visited our website? Yeah. You're lucky if you even find the phone number. Find the phone number. You're right. And I get it. I get why it's all there.

Sometimes they have bots that talk to you online too. They're real people. I know. The bots are pretty helpful. They're actually really good. I kind of resisted the bots for a while. I was like, put me onto a real person. But they actually know a lot of those bots.

So anyway, I phoned. I made a pizza order last night I won't name the company because this is probably if you use the phone

you just use the internet yeah no but I was in the car driving is this bad for the company because some of us already know which pizza company

you like to frequent no it's not that one oh okay yeah it's not that one that was mysteriously taking money

from my account that I accused of scamming me but yeah no so I made this order last night. And I understand that people have good days and bad days. And I don't know. I really don't care. I just found this very amusing.

So this guy answers. Yep. I was like, oh, hello. I was like, this is the pizza place. He's like, yep. I was like, can I order pizza? He's like, yep. And I was like, is this person incapable of making any noises beyond one syllable and so i was like i'll have a cheese pizza he's

like yeah and i was like there's like garlic bread he's like yeah and i was like and can i please get some chips yeah well to be fair you were asking yes, no questions. Yeah. I know. And then I was like, okay then. I was like, do you want to know if you need to deliver it or me to pick it up? He's like, yep. I'll come in and pick it up. And then just hangs up. And I was like, well, this is comedy gold.

Couldn't write this stuff. So I was like, I was really intrigued to see who was behind this phone address. Then I walk in the place. Same thing. I was like, oh, hey, just in order for Jonathan. Yeah. I was like, is it ready? Yeah.

And then he went and picked it up and then didn't say anything else. And I was thinking, you know, as I said, people have good days and bad days. Might have been having a bad day. Some people are a people person. Why don't you say, how are you? Yeah, but I just found it amusing. I just found it amusing. And I was like, how did he go in the job? Who in the management went, you'll be perfect?

What's your five-year plan? Yeah. Anyway, no, it's funny. It's funny. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits. Producer Grace is joining us. Now, producer Grace is joining

us. Gen Z producer Grace just mentioned five minutes ago the most hilarious customer service interaction I had

with a pizza person last night. I said, it was basically just having a whole conversation we're going, yup, yup, oh yup, yup, and

then just hanging up. And now you want to come in and defend the person. Now, again, in my defense, I said I loved the interaction. I found it hilarious. I'm not angry about it.

It's just for the listeners out here. I have five points to make. First of all, Jono, who uses the phone? Who uses the phone to make an order? I was driving. Grace, it's illegal. It's illegal, Grace, to be on your phone while you drive. You're making his life so much more difficult.

He's probably like, who's the boomer on the phone? Exactly, man. Why have a phone then? To make online orders. What? To make online orders. No, but why do they have a phone number? Well, I don't know.

For the boomers. Because they'll get complaints. Canceled out that point. Next one. Two, he's probably paid just minimum wage. Let him be. He's probably a high schooler. Just let him be.

Just let him be. What was the age range? Younger. Yeah. But does that mean you can't say more than one syllable? Yeah. Okay, next point. Three, you didn't tip him.

He's not a server. So you're just there to pick up food. You're literally just there to pick up food. Maybe he didn't know what the thing was that was making the noise in the corner of the shop too and he just picked it up and was like, huh? Number three, number four, I have to go back to the first point.

Who uses a phone, Jono? Who uses a phone? Who has a conversation on the phone? No one these days. I hate it. And number five to wrap it up, who actually cares? Just let him be. Just let the man be. Let him do his job.

Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits. We just spent a week in Sri Lanka. Thanks to Dilmar putting two golden teabag tickets inside two Dilmar teaboxes. They are in stores right now. Look for our faces on the teaboxes. You can find the golden teabag tickets.

You could win a trip or you'll win a trip to Sri Lanka. That was the good part of the trip. It was. The end of the trip has been scorned. A dark cloud hangs over the end of the trip, and Ben Boyce involved in medium to high-level crime. Oh, yeah. So we were through Singapore on the last day,

had a bit of a stopover, went in to see some shops, and we're going to bring in Ashley Bryce, CEO of Music, to the studio right now. Ashley was also on the trip with us. Yes, she was. Now, Ben, you had just been shopping in that teenage store that you mentioned. Brandy Melville. And so he'd just come off a scandal where he was in it, it was sweaty, he was hot, it was 40 degrees, and he was filming inside a teenage girl's shop.

When I was filming, I was FaceTiming my daughters, and they just questioned what I was doing. And once they knew what I was doing, they were fine with it. But yes, you're right. So you were flustered after that. And then walking back towards to meet up with everyone else, in another department store, my bag, my paper bag broke. One of the handles broke.

And I said that to Ashley, who we were with. I said, oh, my bag broke. And she was like, I'll get you another one. I was like, oh, no, no, no. I'll buy one. We can buy a bit cheap one somewhere. She goes, no, no, it's all good. Because we're in a store looking for you, Jono,

and the other guy we were with as well. And then you're like, they'll have paper bags here in the store. I'm like, but we're not buying anything. Anything so far untrue? No. That's untrue. But I'm not buying anything. Yeah, the paper bags

they're free. She should be representing Diddy in his trial, man. So you went to the counter, the counter that was unpersoned, I was going to say unmanned, but it's 2025. This is how nervous he is. He's even nervous. To gender the shop assistant.

So no one's at the counter, you walk down and on, I guess, down towards the floor there, there was some bags, paper bags. You grab one, quite a big size one, and you go, there you go, you go to me, put your stuff in there. And I'm like, I'm not putting the stuff in there. We're in the middle of the store. You didn't ask anyone for that. You're like, it's a paper bag.

It's fine. They give them away all the time. And I was like, I can't do this in the shop. And so then we did walk out of the shop, and yes, outside of the shop, I did use that paper bag and then put it inside Jono's bag, and he's now in... I'm implicated. Oh, so you've all received stuff like that.

Yeah, right. Right. Ashley Bryce, how would you like? So you want to wash your hands of the crime? Well, I just found it a bit nerve-wracking, but I thought maybe I'm being a bit sort of over the top. Dramatic, right? You're being very dramatic.

Very dramatic. True. It's just a paper bag. I was going to ask a lady That was behind the other counter But she was very busy Right And I'm sure if I'd asked her She would have given me a bag

Yeah True or false though You walked behind the counter No I did not walk behind the counter That's what he's been saying I leant down and around Like it was at the end of the counter Wait so

I did not sit behind the counter Okay It was like But the bag was behind the counter Out of, so... I did not sit behind the counter. Okay, it was like little reach around. But the bag was behind the counter, out of reach from customers. Slightly. Okay, so a bit of

a brazen theft. Okay, but the first person in shopping history to walk into a department store, steal something and only walk out with a paper bag.

Yeah, the stuff they do give away for free, you're right. They do. Yeah, you're right about that. But Ben was worried about it in the shop. As soon as you got out of the shop, he's like, yeah, yeah, give away for free. You're right. They do. Yeah, you're right about that. But Ben was worried about it in the shop. As soon as you got out of the shop, he's like, yeah, yeah, give it to me. Tell you what, you know what I blame?

I blame them banning plastic bags. They never did us dirty. They never broke, did they? That's right. Never ruined their... Wouldn't be having this debate, though, would we, if it was a plastic bag sale, Rad? Catastrophic effects on the environment and marine life, but, you know, the bag's never broke.

Yeah. Okay, so this has caused you some shop trauma, hasn't it? Yeah, it has a little bit of trauma. Ashley was doing a lovely thing. You were doing a lovely thing. He's like, we're in Singapore. They can execute you for chewing gum here. The best bit though is that we had to go back into that store because we couldn't actually

find you. And he was not happy about going back in there, carrying the bag that we had just taken. He couldn't have chosen a more anxious, nervy man to do that to, Ashley. But he still took it. I didn't have no choice. He's like, stop picking it up. Put the thing in the bag. Okay, Ashley.

All right, yeah, retail therapy when you need therapy. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits. Retail therapy, when you needed therapy. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits. Retail therapy, when it goes wrong, you need actual therapy after going to retail stores. Which is you, just fresh after one of our colleagues, Ashley, she stole a paper bag for you because your bag had broken from another shop and you claimed she went behind the counter. She's saying she reached over the counter.

Either way, out of the reach of customers. Thank you. Thank you. Where do you sit on this incidence there, Megan? Ben refused to put his items in the stolen paper bag. I don't think they would have minded if you'd asked. Yeah, yeah. It does sound like one of those things, a free paper bag.

But in the moment, I don't know why we didn't. Did you feel guilt when you, because you eventually did put your items in. Reluctantly. I got told I was being a sookie little baby and put it in, basically. So we were giving Ben a bit of retail therapy this morning, and Jenny, you need some. Yes.

So I work in a retail store, so I do see quite a bit. I had a man who asked me if he could try on a pair of trousers, which I said was okay. We were quite close to a changing room, but instead of going to the changing room, he just pulled down his pants and trod on a new pair of pants. In front of you? Oh, yeah, in front of me.

Oh, I feel like that's something my dad would do. Mind you, he asked permission. You said yes. Mum used to make me do that in the store. I remember in Master, the changing rooms would be full. She'd be like, just do it here. And I'd be like, oh, in the middle of the store. What, pull your pants down?

Yeah, but not undies, but like try on the pants. Are you standing in the store in your undies? Oh, yeah, that's what Mum would do. She was like, yeah, just do it now. It'll be heaps quicker. So you'd like quickly pull them down and pull them up. It did get weird when he was on an undie shopping expedition. Okay, so from the retail sector,

what's one thing we can all improve on as shoppers? Jenny? Oh, where do I start? I imagine we're just terrible. What about when you ask, how's your day, and someone launches into the terrible day they're having? Don't get so much,

but on the real beautiful sunny days, they're like, oh, I'm having an amazing day. I'm doing this and this and this, and you're standing there going, I'm inside working. Yeah, that would be frustrating, yeah. What about if there's no price tag and I go, is it free? Is that a funny joke?

They think it's a funny joke. You hear that all the time. Would you hear that once a day? Oh, at least. Wow. What about when, is it law that when I put stuff on the counter, I have to say, just these, please? Because it feels like, oh, just these, that.

If I don't say it, they're going to say it, you know? Just those? Yeah. Hey, great work, Jenny. Really appreciate your call. You have a great day. Yeah, same to you guys. Thank you.

Greg joins us for some retail therapy. How can we help you, Greg? What happened? Yeah, so this you guys. Thank you. Greg joins us for some retail therapy. How can we help you, Greg? What happened? Yeah, so this was a while ago. My wife and I were in Perth on a bit of a break. We were wandering around the shops, and she decides to go into always a pharmacy sort of makeup type shop, you know, and I just glazed over.

And she spent, it feels like we were there for maybe three hours. It was probably about 20 minutes. It's amazing how time, it's like dog years, isn't it? That's right, that's right. And I was, I did my best to try and keep myself occupied. And I was looking at, you know, stuff. And then I sort of sidled up to her and said, right, you ready to go? All done?

And the person that I put my arm around sort of jumped to one side, and I looked down, and it wasn't my wife. That's not my wife. I was like, oh, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I thought you were my wife. And, of course, in that moment, I realized that, well, that she was like some creepers just wandering

around the pharmacy trying to pick up random women. Meanwhile your wife's looking over at you cuddling some stranger. Are you ready to go? And then I kind of smooth that situation over and then I look up at the end of the aisle and my wife's standing there with her hands on her hips.

You're like, we've been in there for so long I forgot I had a wife. Really funny, mate. Appreciate your call. You're going to have a great day. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast.

The hits. Before we move on the show, something I need to bring up. Now, when we came back from Sri Lanka, you know, we obviously flew back thanks to Dilma where we put the golden teabag tickets

in the teabag boxes and we had a long flight back. There was a cute baby sitting next to me on the plane.ma, where we put the golden teabag tickets in the teabag boxes. And we had a long flight back. There was a cute baby sitting next to me on the plane. Now, normally babies on the plane, you're like, are they going to be a shambles? This baby was great. I didn't hear it cry once. Sometimes when you're sitting there and you see a baby walk onto the plane, you're like, I should just jump out of the emergency exit like Tom Cruise or something.

Everyone's like, don't sit by me. I always feel sorry because I've been that parent in that situation, bringing on the baby, so I try not to be like that. Yeah, no one's more nervous about the baby than the person who manufactured the baby. But the baby was very cute. The baby was just like, but the baby, they just stare. They start staring and you look back and you sort of do the smile and you do the sort of like

pop away and pop back sort of situation. Yeah, you were entertaining. I did my routine for like 30 seconds, but then the baby just locked off. I said, no expression, no nothing. For obviously 15, 20 minutes, this baby's just like, started to make me feel a little bit uncomfortable. This baby knows things about me or something.

Staring into your soul. I know you're shtick, mate. So yeah, I'm sorry. I apologize if I've wronged this baby in the past or whatever it is. I don't know. Maybe it's resurrected as someone that you have that you've illed in the past. It might have been a good thing or a bad thing.

I don't know. But the baby just did not take its eyes off me. Then everybody thought I'd watch a movie. Then I'd look back and the baby's still staring. What are you watching, mate? Yeah. It was a cute baby. That was one of the top 20 cutest babies I've ever seen.

But not looking at anything else for a good half an hour but me. So, yeah. That's funny. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The Hits. Sliding into their DMs for a bit of advice, a bit of help from you here on The Hits. And today, for grabs, for our favourite call,

So if you want to help out this person, you could be helping out your family for an amazing night out. You can get all the details online at thehits.co.nz. Perfect. If you dream of seeing all your favourite Disney characters slipping and sliding all over the ice, they do a wonderful job. Now, Megan, this is a really fiddly one in the office.

Yeah, it's a workplace one. It reads, Hi team, I'm going for a promotion at work and I know one of my colleagues is too. The kicker is I know something about them that's pretty damning and could seriously jeopardise their chances of getting the role. I'm really tempted to tell management

because I don't think they should be given the opportunity when they haven't been honest in their current role. But then I wonder, would that be bad karma? Does it come across as a bit snaky? But also, stuff it, I really want this job. What do you all think? Yeah, bad

karma, but also bad karma on a higher salary, so maybe you can negate the karma with the extra pay. What would you do in this situation? I don't know. I'd probably just leave it and what will be, will be. Ben's too nice.

Just go on merit. Go on merit. If you're all right for the job, they'll give you the job. But it is hard when you know, like particularly, I don't know what exactly this person knows, but if it is something that means they shouldn't,

they don't deserve the job, but it's hard to be nice to someone else. Brought that up to their attention, not you. Yeah, we don't know what it is, but they say, I don't think they should be given the opportunity when they haven't been honest. So whatever, I don't know what it is. But then you've got to separate.

Is this a thing that's going to affect, because it's just a company decision, who's best for the job? Is what this person's done, is that going to be no good for their new role if they get that? Because then you can sell that information because that's with the company's best interests. Or if it's just a personal thing and you're like,

if this bit of information got out, I know I'd be number one candidate. I do like to take the Michelle Obama approach. When they go low, you go high. But, I don't know. Me and producers ellie and grace we all came up with the same thing we would seed the information elsewhere and hope that it got back to the powers that be okay so you would manipulate because we don't want to be the one delivering the information and make you look like a snake what happens in a conversation with a work colleague that maybe you trust maybe they had an ear to the, hey, what do you think I should do in this situation?

So then you're talking to them with the hope that they might say something or not. Ben, you're a genius. You could be like, I don't know what to do. Here's what they did. And then hopefully they'll go, oh, yeah. And then they might say it. And you've done nothing other than just have a conversation with someone. That's actually genius. Or if they get the the role you can just blackmail them too that's another great

great solution all right is there any better ideas that we haven't thought of john o ben and megan the podcast the hits yeah megan someone has slid into megan's dms with another dilemma she goes through them and puts it out there for your help on 0800 The Hits. Always with permission, by the way. Yeah. Yeah. So this one says,

I am going for a promotion at work. I know one of my colleagues is too. The kicker is, I know something about them that's pretty damning and could seriously jeopardise their chances of getting the role.

I'm tempted to tell management because I don't think they should have been given the opportunity when they haven't been honest in their current role. They want to know what to do. Is it snaky?

Is it, you know, honest to tell the bosses? Should they stay out of it? Yes, is it snaky? Yes, is the answer to snaky. Is it wrong? Probably. But is it effective? Yes, it is also effective. There's a really good text here that says it's difficult

because if I was a hiring manager, I would also question your integrity if you disclose that information and add question have questions because of the timing you chose which would likely make me choose they're on the phone that text is on the phone we should get Tash to explain it so if you're the manager Tash you'd question the integrity of someone who is dripping the information into your ears. Well, it's just the timing, isn't it? Why did you disclose it now and not previously? Because I want that promotion.

But honestly? Actually, no, but it's much such you in whichever way. If it's something that's not worth thinking about, the end of the clothing, it makes you think, it questions your integrity. And if it's something important, it makes me question your integrity of whether I can trust and rely on you. Yeah, what's your intent? What's your intent for handing over the information?

Is it for the good of the company or for the good of you? Exactly. I didn't think about the fact that if you knew that information, why haven't you told the boss beforehand? Yeah, that's a very good point. Yeah, it makes you look shady AF. Yeah. So what would you do, Tash, in this sit show?

If I was there? Yeah. I think you you do, Tash, in this sit show? If I was them? Yeah. I think you have to suck plums, suck it up, or if you really want to be a bit sneaky, pass it to someone else to pass on. Pass it. Pass it. The information to someone else.

That's the only way it's sneaky. Yeah, good on you, Tash. Appreciate your call. We've got Roxanne with us. What would you do? Well, the thing is, everybody has that one colleague in the office that you can tell any secret to

and know that it will go, it'll spread like wildfire. Megan was talking about someone called the Civ. We used to work with someone where he called the Civ behind their back. That was the person you'd cede information to. Yes. Exactly.

So you just drop those subtle hints, oh, did you know? behind their back. And that was the person you'd cede information to. Yes. Exactly. So you just drop those subtle hints, oh, did you know? And then just let it take over by itself and you've done nothing. You sit back and relax. Yeah. Well, you know what they say. It's the old saying, snitches get job promotions, don't they? Yeah.

That's how it works. So in this situation, you would just drop it to the office gossip? Yeah, yeah. Almost like a whistleblower type of thing. You know, you're getting your hands dirty, but not really getting your hands dirty. If you want to call yourself a whistleblower, you know, what even helps you get through? All right, thanks for your call, Roxanne.

Appreciate it. Thanks, everyone, for the feedback as well on the text machine. So many texts and calls coming through. We'll award that Disney Pass, Disney on Ice family pass but let's wrap things up. What are you going to do here Megan? Well it's really split on the text machine but

I don't think you're going to feel good even if you do get the role in the end if you snaked it. I think if you work hard and you push forward you'll get something awesome even if it's not this one. And if that person's not right, who's to say if they get the job that it will last? Yeah, or tell people, don't throw them under the bus,

just clear the way for the bus to reverse. There's another option. Over to you. We're not the boss of you. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits. Of course, thanks to Dilma T,

trying to make the world a better place. We headed to Sri Lanka. It was a great week, a real surreal week to really come home from. We put two golden teabag tickets inside two Dilmar Tea boxes. They're in the supermarkets right now. If you find a golden ticket, you could win a luxury trip to Sri Lanka. Yeah, so we're in Singapore on the way back, and I forgot that I had this little piece of audio.

I ended up in the bowels of some underground, very niche shopping centre. And I was like, this place... In Singapore. In Singapore. I was like, I could lose my kidneys here, and they could be sold for a top dollar. My liver, maybe not so much. But I ended up in a luggage shop and talking to a really lovely guy. He's a charismatic Gentleman

And it was the type of place That was like As soon as I swapped my credit card I'm like Well this is going to be used for On like Nefarious purposes online You know

But you have to be comfortable with it You have to be relaxed With the risk you're going into But he got talking He's like Oh where are you from And I said Oh New Zealand

And he had been to New Zealand Alright Okay but 30 or so years ago. Was he from Singapore? Yeah. Right. Yeah, he was a local.

And he actually went to New Zealand on his honeymoon. Have a listen. So I'm hearing the bells of some shopping centre in Singapore. You've been to New Zealand. Yeah, we had honeymoon about 35 years ago. Oh, honeymoon. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We stay in the farmhouse.

Oh, you went to the farmhouse. Yeah, then we go to the mill for sale, everything. Yeah, yeah yeah yeah we stay in the farmhouse oh you went you went to the farmhouse yeah then we go to the mill fox all everything yeah yeah yeah because last time about 25 years we married then nothing to go we go to New Zealand oh well a few days in Australia oh yeah we got nearby only yeah three hours yeah yeah New Zealand really a beautiful place oh well I'm glad i'm glad you had a good time there yeah because of yeah we go there everything relax yeah only only only they have a what uh short hour duty yeah six o'clock you can't see that even hotel no people oh you think we shut down at six o'clock yeah they go home maybe yeah yeah we stay in the the farmermer is very like giant. Yeah. No talking. Yeah, no talking.

The farmer doesn't talk. And then morning then, we can see a lot of sheep. A lot of sheep. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We stay on there. The farmers don't say much. They're very quiet. They don't say, they say.

The wife is like entertain us. Oh, yeah. Yeah, everything keep quiet. And the door never lock one. They didn't even lock the door. Yeah, we must fight, fight, fight, fight, fight. Thank you. Something natural, yeah, really natural.

Lovely guy, lovely guy, lovely guy. There's probably a lot of truth in what he's saying, I can't say. He says everything shuts at six o'clock, and I'm like, well, and then after that, I was like, oh, you know, we'll actually stay open a bit later now. But not that late compared to other cities. There's always so many times you go, oh, the kitchen's closed. It's like other cities are open until like midnight.

You still get meals and stuff. New Zealand, we're like, nah, mate, good shots. But other cities have lots more people. Yeah, well, that's probably the thing, right? But in his defense, he's come from a place that probably you can get food, you know, at all hours of the night. Yeah, there's millions and millions of people there. Yeah, so for him, he's like, oh, yeah.

Well, he stayed in a farm in the middle of nowhere. Yeah. And he was like, oh, this is a ghost town. And you're right. Maybe there are some parts of New Zealand that do just shut the lights off at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. You've got to go home and get some tea. I remember you went to a place up north, didn't you? And they said, sorry, we are closed.

We've run out of dishes. Oh, yeah. There was a whole lot. And we haven't offered to wash the dishes. Run out of dishes. Clean dishes. Yeah. What about the dishwasher?

Yeah, the guy was like, no, we've run out of dishes. And then my wife was like, well, I'll wash the dishes. We can get in there. No, no, no, no. That sounded like an excuse. I wanted to close. Yeah, he needs to think of a better excuse. Then we went to a pizza place and they'd run out of pizza dough.

And I'm like, we're in the same situation, friends from overseas. And they're like, this is, you know. What were you wearing? Did you guys look like riffraff or something? It was like, you're a pizza place. You've run out of pizza dough. But anyway, it happened. Them and the guy from Singapore, they're spreading bad stuff about New Zealand out there, guys.

Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits. Of course, the weather's getting a little chilly now. It's pretty shocking around the country. And thanks to Juro Tuss, we have your chance to win $500. All you need to do is catch the sneaky cough in today's show. So at any point during the show, I'm going to cough sneakily.

Yesterday, I did a little cough and said, excuse me, which you guys said. Maybe I overplayed it a little bit. I don't think you should say excuse me today. Just check it. Yeah, we'll replay the cough from yesterday. This doesn't count as today's cough. Okay. This is just a recap, a performance review, if you would.

Idiot who went to jail. Excuse me. Okay. Signposted too. Yeah, I see what you're saying. Okay. So no excuse me today. At some stage between now and nine o'clock, I'm going to cough.

We're not going to cough This campaign was crucial Wasn't it Last week we all had whooping cough. It would have been a nightmare. And now cash over, money over fist. But if you are feeling trapped with a chesty cough, you can try Durotust, a chesty forte cough liquid.

The cough experts. It's a pharmacy medicine, of course. Always read the label. Use only as directed. If symptoms persist, see your healthcare professional, Radiant Health Auckland. Who's listening to that EAMS stuff? Well, hopefully lots of people when I'm saying it like that,

but sometimes in those ads they're like, I'm checked out. I'll take 30 of those, please. Now, Megan, yesterday we were leaving work and you got a handbag and there was stuff spilling out over it. So, you know, it's a vortex, isn't it? It's a black hole of a women's handbag. Every time I get a new one, I'm like, I'm not going to stuff it full.

And then it always just ends up becoming really heavy. I just have it in my backpack. I do lots of different stuff in there. Yeah. What's the strangest thing in your handbag right now? There's a pencil sharpener in there. Oh, yeah? That's for my lip liners.

What else? There's a protein shake. I've got some gift vouchers, some hand moisturizer. Do you know Where everything Is purely by Because sometimes My wife will go

Can you just grab That out of my Handbag And I'm like Where do you Start I know you guys Pull them open

And then you start Whamming around And I'm like Just let me do it See mine's the Officer Amanda's got nothing In her handbag

And she's always Scared of my bag She's like you don't Need six hand Sanitizers She's like taking Stuff out of my Bag It's the opposite She won't even Carry a handbag. And she's always scared of my bag. She's like, you don't need six hand sanitizers. You don't need, she's like taking stuff out of my bag. It's the opposite.

She won't even carry a handbag 90% of the time. I'll be like, where's your card? She's like, oh, it's at home. I'll be like, carry a handbag,

carry a wallet. I've got six hand sanitizers. I'm ready to go. Last week in Sri Lanka, he even packed an umbrella. Yeah, but it's so great. I've been traveled. That's the best tip. Take a portable umbrella. Hot. If it's hot, if it's hot, but not all the time when you're out. but it's so great. I've been travelling, that's the best tip.

Take a portable umbrella. Hot, if it's hot, but not all the time when you're out. If it's hot, sunshade, and if you're out

in the weather, you know, like it can rain any time. That was great. My family mocked me before we went to Disneyland, like,

why you got this? And then they were like, thank God he bought the umbrella, it was so hot. And I was like, there you go. Speaking of all things bags,

now this got fed to me on Instagram. So this is Jono Pryor presents maybe fake or not fake news. Is this going to ruin my day? It's about Italian handbags. Okay, now there's a bit of a loophole law in the EU when it says, you know how things can say made in Italy, and you think, well, this has been made by some magnificent Italian artisan yeah munching on pasta but have a listen

so this bag is made in China how can luxury brands print made in Italy you see this EU law says that I'm allowed to say made in Italy if less substantial transformation is done here in Italy. So I have imported this bag from China. It cost me $20. But here in Italy, I will just stitch this zipper, which is legally the last substantial transformation. And now this bag is suddenly made in Italy. And I will sell it to you for $20,000.

There you go. They get a bag from China for $20 and then put the zip on it in Italy. Yeah, and they get around a loop off. That's correct. I wouldn't imagine

every brand would be doing this. No. I don't think Chanel handbags are made in China. I don't think you can put every bag in that bag basket but you know. I've seen that.

A lot of them. Yeah. How does that make you feel because I know you love fashion. I still love the bags. I just wish they would make them a? A lot of them. Yeah. How does that make you feel? Because I know you love fashion. I still love the bags. I just wish they would make them a bit cheaper then. Well, that's true. They've got to make their markup.

There we go. So if you're buying a Gucci handbag today, just bear that in mind. I was going to talk about law, but just quickly, there's a bit of a debate going on in the studio about whether Jono's just come out with more fake news or whether it's partially correct or what. I see that. I think we need to give him a detox from social media.

I think let's not worry about under-16s. Let's worry about Jono getting off social media. I did my research. I read the comments on the TikTok video. He comes quite often with TikTok videos and he gets very quick to come back and go, ah, not correct. Well, because I don't want everyone who's paid thousands of dollars

for designer handbags to just find something. The good name of Gucci, too, just before. He's like, if you're going out today and buying a Gucci handbag, think about this. So you've already associated a brand with your comments. It literally says here that TikTok videos and online rumors. Well, we must recap what my fact was first because no one knows

what we're talking about. So I said that, so I played some audio of a guy who's like, they import bags from China for $20 into Italy and there's a law, a loophole in the EU

that says you can put made in Italy if the last substantial transformation of the product happened in Italy. So like a zip or something. They sew a zip onto the $20 handbag

then charge $2,000 for it. Which is a law. That is a thing. But again, I've associated Gucci to this. That might necessarily not be what Gucci is doing. It says here TikTok videos and online rumours have been circulating that claim luxury brands like Gucci are made in China.

However, these claims are not based on fact. So they do outsource a bit of the manufacturing. Some brands do. But they still have their craftspeople to assemble the bag in Italy. So it's a bit of this, bit of that. Bit of column A, bit of column B. I don't think you could, yeah. I think when you start to say brands, maybe that's where we get into some legal territory.

Just say some might do it and others won't be doing it, you know? It's a safer version but it saves us from lawsuits. I don't think, I still don't think that the same as your like $20 counterfeit, you know? Different quality of product. Well, agree to disagree on this. I mean, kind of tell me

how long they last. This one, falling apart. Yeah, more fake news. Jono Price fake news. We should do it as a segment. Do two breaks. I spout off the news and then we have a song. We could quickly retract it. Or we could just do it all in the same break. Or not at all.

Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits. They just had some figures come through from the economic boosts in the bigger cities in New Zealand. And over $10 million last year from things like concerts was the main boost. Coldplay in Auckland, Luke Holmes and Pearl Jam as well. Wellington Homegrown and Christchurch Electric Ave all really helped to boost the economy. Really huge.

It shows how great it is when artists like that come across. Yeah. Or big festivals. Booking motels and hotels and going to restaurants and things like that. Stimulating. Yeah. Massaging the other. Producer Grace, actually, sorry, can you come in here?

Wonderful Gen Z producer Grace. So yesterday after the show, we'd arrived back from Sri Lanka. Yeah. She's like, oh, make sure you have a nap. She's like, do a Grace nap. Now, Grace, we've spoken about previously. Well-publicized napper. One of your favorite things is just not being conscious. Yeah, I truly do love it.

Now, listen to her. She said, listen to what I did on Friday. So relay us your nap schedule from last Friday. Is this a big week or a normal week last week? It was a big week. We got up early. We're getting up early, okay. Just a little bit. Just a little bit. Just a little bit, but it really affected me.

And the three o'clock? Yeah, so on Friday I went home and I slept from like 11 to 5-ish, maybe like 4.30. So I was there like six hours, stocked. That's a temporary coma. Yeah. No, that's just a long nap. Yeah, that's where I get like 90% of the night.

Well, you guys need to get more sleep. And then I slept from like 9 to like 8 the next day. So 11 till 5, up for 4 hours, then back from 9 till 8. So it's like 17 now. So you had no problem going back to sleep again? No, I was so tired from the week. Wow. You sleep like a nana at a retirement village.

Yeah, I think I could beat the retirees. Do you think I'd get checked out? Maybe. I just really like sleeping. How's your iron levels? My iron levels are actually good I have been tested So I don't know what else is wrong

I actually just You know We take the mickey But I'm just living vicariously Through your sleep Aren't you too Megan? Oh yeah A six hour daytime nap?

That's amazing Just keep talking I can only dream Just thinking about it now I might go have a nap Sleep is the most frustrating thing You know Because you have to get it And it's great for you But it's such a time waster, I was thinking, I was just thinking about it now. I might go have a nap in the producer's room. Sleep is the most frustrating thing, you know,

because you have to get it and it's great for you. But it's such a time waster. Oh, it is. But also yesterday I was really tired because obviously we come back, we've been doing like crazy

16, 18 hour days, you know, over there. So I was like, but I'll push through. And then you get to night and you can't go to sleep. You're like, what's it? It's 11 o'clock.

I'm still awake. Why is this? Yeah. But yeah, that's the most frustrating thing. My body's like, this is your time. This is your time.

Well, it's not a problem for Grace. She can... Yeah. Exactly. Just lie there and go, time to sleep. And that's what I do. I was trying to tell myself that. We'll see you get better at it.

The problem is, he goes, time to sleep. But then he starts thinking about 300 other things that he should be doing instead of sleep. Wow, that's pretty impressive. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The Hits. New Zealand Herald Daily Quiz. Ben and Megan. The podcast. The Hits. The New Zealand Herald Daily Quiz.

What we do every morning here on The Hits. We try and get 10 out of 10 without getting any wrong. If we get one wrong, for some reason, we decide that's enough. The QQ, the quiz queen. Hello, good morning. Producer Ellie is back and very excited when we do get 10 out of 10. Our tails start wagging. Yes, they do.

I went home yesterday and the dogs, you know, the dogs, as they do their tails, go. Yes. Wouldn't it be so handy if humans had tails? You'd really get a snapshot understanding of where someone is. I would appreciate that. No, because. You wouldn't? I'm just thinking of when it gives me away.

Like, you know? Yeah, well, you don't want people to know you're happy? Well, like, what if you really like someone and they talk to you and you're like, hee, hee, hee. It doesn't go erect. No, it just starts wagging and you're trying to play a call and you're like, stop, tail. Or you're going, so good to see you. They're like, well, it's not good to see you because your tail's so short.

Yeah, tails between your legs. And it'll catch you out all the time. Maybe that's a terrible idea. Humans shouldn't have tails. All right. Question number one. What New Zealand region is the town Motueka in? Is it Tasman?

Correct. That's worse. My family are from Motueka. Are they? Yeah. I had a wild night in Motueka once when I was working for The Rock. Still recovering. Where?

Yeah, what's down there? Some random pub, yeah. I didn't see for like four days. Tariwaka? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It? There's some random pub, yeah. I didn't see for like four days. Tariwaka? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, it's famous. Yeah, it is famous. One and done there, mate.

Alright, question number two. Who wrote the novel The Last of the Mohicans? Mohicans? No, Mohicans. That one. Thank you. That's a movie, eh? It was Daniel Day-Lewis.

It was the movie. Yeah, from the book. But I don't know the book. The Mohicans. So the options are Rudyard Kipling, James Fenimore Cooper, or Anthony Trollope. Oh, I've heard of Rudyard. Oh, that's an awful last name. I've heard of Rudyard, but I don't know.

He wrote the Jungle Book and stuff like that. It's Rudyard Kipling. I don't know if he wrote that one, but I know he wrote the Jungle Book. That's quite a far stretch to The Last of the Mohicans. We can lifeline it. Should we lifeline it this early on?

Yeah. I don't think we're going to make it past this hurdle. What are the two other options if we think we're ruling out Rodyard Kipling? Okay, the other two options are James Fenimore Cooper

or Anthony Trollope. Mr. Trollope. That is... Oh, poor Anthony. Yeah, he would have got bullied at school. Okay, text 4487. Anyone messes through there, Benjamin boys? Not so far.

4487 on the text. What's the movie? Who was in the movie? Daniel Taylor Lewis. Is there a Cooper? James Cooper? Yeah, there's a James Fenimore Cooper. There's a few coming through for Coops.

Okay, lock it in. Coopy, that is correct. Nice. Thank you. Nice work. Okay, question number three. Complete the movie quote. Mrs. Robinson, you're trying to...

Seduce me? That is correct. Well done. I want to listen to you, Mrs. Robinson. Yeah, a graduate movie. The movie The Graduate, yeah. Oh, no. I haven't seen the movie.

I've just seen lots of stuff around it. I've never actually watched it. Well done. You can just quote lines from it. Yeah, it's weird. I've never, yeah. It was a very iconic movie. All right, question number four.

Who designed the famous Chubba Chups logo? Was it Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, or Andy Warhol? What? Wow, it was one of those. Okay, let's put a pin in this there. I'm thinking Andy Warhol, but yeah, well, he was the artist. And he's in America, and it feels like an American product. Jono, Ben, and Megan.

The podcast. The hits. As we try to make our way through the New Zealand Herald Daily Quiz, not a bad start so far, but things are looking a little shaky right now. We're deep inside an art question. Yes, the question is, who designed the famous Chubba Chubs logo? Was it Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, or Andy Warhol?

I saw a very funny skit by Tom Sainsbury, New Zealand comedian, just a couple of days ago about Chubba Chubs. He was just basically showing how hard it is to get inside one. Oh, yeah. It's really like a vault, isn't it? Yeah. I understand because obviously they need the plastic to be quite tight.

Yeah, but they really make it hard. So hard. There's only my twisted 100 kilometres an hour on a rotation, don't they? Well, that's not helping us now, though, right now. What have we got? Who do you reckon, guys? I said Andy Warhol but then

we've sort of been talking ourselves out of that for the last little bit because the outside of it is like a flower it's like a daisy situation yeah so no

okay well it's not it's not Picasso no it's not no it's not Picasso so then it'd have to be Salvador Dali yeah

alright that is correct well done very good stuff okay question number five It's not Picasso. So then it would have to be Salvador Dali. We lock it in. Yeah. All right. That is correct. Well done. Very good stuff. Okay, question number five. Narwhals. Oh, I'm not saying that right. It's a whale.

Narwhals, yeah. That one, yeah. Narwhals are known for their distinctive tusk, which is actually either an elongated tooth, a cartilage extension, or hardened skin. So we've got this really long thing. What is it? I love narwhals.

But I don't know what the tusk is made out of. Cartilage? Yeah, cartilage extension. An elongated tooth. It is at the head. That's a bloody long tooth. Yeah. It seems to be wanting to lop that out, wouldn't it?

Yeah. Like the wisdom teeth of the whale. And what was the third one, sorry Ellie? Hardened skin. Nah. Could be hardened skin. Oh, really? Could be.

It could be any of those options, right? In fact, it's got to be one of them. What are we going to lock in? I would have said cartilage. Should we go cartilage? Oh, God. Megan, go cartilage. It's incredible.

Is it the bloody tooth? Yeah, it's the tooth. Is it? Yeah, interesting, eh? Wow, you learn something with these quizzes. You do. Hopefully you retain some of this information at some point in our lives. Sorry, guys.

The narwhal. That's impressive. I've met narwhal supporters down. Yeah, the narwhal tooth is one of the weirdest and coolest natural features in the animal kingdom. Wow. The internet says. It's a whale unicorn. It's a unicorn whale.

It's actually their left canine tooth. Yeah, wait, why is it not in the middle? Wouldn't that throw you off balance? It's the right one. Anyway, well, thanks for helping our way. What did we get through today? Oh, wow. What was that?

What did we get to? Oh, that was question number five. Okay, so yeah, quite a pass mark this morning. It can detect changes in temperature and air pressure. Oh. Because it's covered in nerves. Oh, wow. Jeez, guys.
