The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Thanks to Challenge, putting the service back into service stations.
I mentioned at the end of the show yesterday, the opposite of whatever a fast car is, a slow red car that I get caught behind two or three times a week.
Yeah.
Again this morning.
I just said.
Behind it. So we travel down this straight road to get onto the motorway, and every time I'm behind this car, travelling about 42 kilometres an hour, and you know my impatience on the road, Ben, and then sort of indicates to go left and then changes their mind and indicates to go every time.
You know that the speed limit's 40 down that road, eh?
This one?
Yeah, you know it's 40.
Oh, town.
Yeah.
Yeah, but, yeah, I know that one's 40.
Oh, right.
Yeah, this is a whole other road.
Oh, okay.
I was going to say, you're like tailgating the person who's doing the speed limit.
He's probably tailgating them person who's doing the speed limit.
He's probably tailgating them.
That's why they keep trying to throw them off.
International Tea Day with Dilmar.
It's very cool, actually.
It's International Tea Day today.
We love Dilmar Tea being involved with the show.
We know they've got the best tea, and we want every caller on the show to celebrate with Dilmar Tea today.
Take home a Dilmar Tea prize pack and a $100 voucher to every caller that gets on the air.
Dilmar making the world a better tea.
It's pretty cool.
Just when you thought all the days in the calendar year were taken up, along comes International Tea Day.
You're a tea guy.
Yeah.
Second most consumed beverage in the world.
What's the first?
Behind water.
Oh, weird.
Really? So water, then tea.
How's that? And water plays a huge part in tea. Yeah? So we've got water, then tea. How's that?
And water plays a huge part in tea.
Yeah.
So it's got first and second.
I always wonder, you know,
because we always think
who was the first person to try,
you know,
because everyone discovers these things.
According to the legend,
it was the Yan Emperor in China
back in 2732 BC
who, like, found some wild plant
chucked it in
some boiling water
took a risk
and went actually
damn that's really good
and that's our tea
and now he's like
revered and stuff
how do you pick a plant
like this is the one
I'm going to
this is what I'm going to
put in the bored water
and I'm going to try it
and stumbled across
what is now the second
most consumed beverage
in the world
we lost a lot of good people
along the way
through those trial and error
processes
yeah a lot of berries would have been tried through those trial and error processes in our history.
Yeah, a lot of berries would have been tried
and they're like,
oh, they weren't the raspberries
I thought they were going to be.
It's looking into people
that the nation
that consumes the most
amount of tea,
most people thinking
United Kingdom
would have taken that out.
But actually third.
India.
Turkey.
Then Ireland.
Turkey, Ireland
and then United Kingdom
are the top three. Where's India on the list? I would not have picked Ireland. No, Ireland. Dr, then Ireland. Turkey, Ireland, and then United Kingdom are the top three.
Where's India on the list?
I would not have picked Ireland.
No, Ireland.
Drinking other things.
Jump across, unless this website's lying to me.
So there we go.
So every call out this morning, thanks to Dilmar Tea, $50 prize pack.
Sorry, $50, $100 voucher and some Dilmar Tea.
Yeah, and people already calling.
Hayden, you want some tea in that big gob of yours, do you, mate?
Oh, yeah, definitely.
I want to go straight.
Okay, well, you got that, and you got a $100 voucher,
a mystery voucher.
Who knows what it's going to get you $100 worth of,
but I guess you'll find out in good time.
Awesome.
Thank you very much.
What are you up to today?
Just going to work, man.
What do you do?
Try to upgrade all sorts of machinery.
Oh, you're a machinery guy.
Jeez.
You've got to have a cool head.
I saw a guy trying to, a massive truck trying to get into a very tiny car park where we
exit out of yesterday.
Right.
And the wheels were like off, they were on the curb and skidding and he was cool.
Cool as a cucumber. He just drove past me and he's like, off, they were on the curb and skidding, and he was cool, cool as a cucumber.
He just drove past me and he's like, mate, tight spot.
So all he said was tight spot, and he just continued on his way.
I was like, what a legend.
So I imagine you're like that, Hayden.
Oh, thanks, mate.
We're very lucky for the truck job event.
Yeah, you've got to respect them,
especially navigating their way through busy cities.
That's true.
Hey, have a great day and more
tea to be won as well as those $100
vouchers throughout the morning as we celebrate
International Tea Day. Thanks to our mates at Dilma.
The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
Wanting a little game we like to play
from time to time to see if we can sync
up some answers. You can play along as well.
Do we want Taylor? Yeah, let's get producer Taylor.
It's called In Sync.
You may hate me but it ain't no lie. Yeah, let's get producer Taylor. It's called NSYNC.
Thanks to NSYNC for recording the special jingle for this game.
Now, Megan, you threw out a category and producer Taylor, welcome back.
Hey.
Good to have you on.
Thanks.
A lot of people texting you today, how's Marcelo's head?
Oh, that's nice.
Yeah, a lot of texts, 4487.
Great try on the weekend. Yeah yeah such a great try yeah is that hard for you it must be hard for you to watch it and then you see like you know your husband getting taken off yeah yeah and you're
like what's happening what's happening because you're not there at the game of that one australia
so you're like yeah and you find out on the telly he's back he's back on but you'll be like
yeah i was actually texting um producer jo, who used to work with us,
because he was at the game.
Well, he's no help to you.
He's very drunk.
Literally, I was like, are they saying anything?
Because I thought it was his elbow, but it was his head.
And Joel was like, nah, mate, but to be honest, I'm pretty fizzed.
I said, fair enough.
He would probably be the worst possible person you could have got hold of
in that stadium.
Producer Joel.
Now, Taylor, we're going to try and sync up.
Ben, you ready? Yeah, I'm ready.
Megan? Alright, first
well, I guess this one's not so much
a question, but
I'll give you the question
and you have three seconds and then we
all answer together and we have to sync up.
Make an animal sound.
Woo!
Cow, cowf woof
Yeah
Okay so let's do
Yeah
Me and I moved
Taylor and Jono
Woofed
No points on the board
All four of us
Not synced yet
Yeah
Do we have to do
A majority
Did you both woof
Yeah
So maybe you need three
Maybe you need three
A majority
Okay
Alright fine
Next question
What is the first thing you do when
you wake up i've got my teeth did you say ways oh no i said open your eyes oh and he's right
wake up you already opened your eyes ben sorry but you're technically you're right yeah we both said
ways yeah but does that count no the older i, I do it like a dozen times a night.
Producer Taylor, what did you say?
Brush my teeth.
I'll brush your teeth.
Yeah.
All right, okay.
You can play along in your car too.
NSYNC.
So far, it's not going to be a good show today, guys.
We're not on the same wavelength.
All right, next one.
Best ice cream flavour.
Chocolate.
Oh, chocolate.
Chocolate? Coconut? Oh, chocolate, chocolate.
Coconut?
Yes.
Oh, no one's going to say coconut.
I don't care.
That's my honest thought.
I mean, it's a great flavor.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm not saying it's not.
We're trying to get in sync.
Out of all of us, who did you think, oh, they might say coconut?
Which one of us?
Me.
I don't care.
Okay.
We're not going great on this, are we?
We're not in hokey pokey.
Come on.
That's all right.
John and I are chocolate.
We're kiwis.
We synced up. But anyway. All right. John and I are chocolate. We're sinked up.
But anyway.
All right.
Let's go one more.
Last one.
Who in this room is most likely to join a cult?
Taylor.
Did you say you too?
Yeah.
I love a cult.
I'm just looking for the right one.
I can definitely see you in a cult.
Not showering, growing out your armpit hairs
And just being free with earth
4487 if you've got a cult that Tyler can
She's open, she's ready
Now Eminem's daughter Hayley
28 years old
Again it makes you feel old
And feel like he was rapping about her not long ago
Right, it felt like But he wrote those songs when she rapping about her not long ago, right? It felt like.
But he wrote those songs when she was a baby, right?
And she was just little.
She was just a little kid, right?
Now she's just got married.
Last time we saw you, Hayley, you were only this tall.
We're going to sound like that, aren't we?
Well, she's 28 and she got married yesterday.
So it looked like a wonderful wedding.
TMZ had some photos all over the internet of it.
They said Eminem cleaned out his closet and got himself a suit.
He looked fantastic, didn't he?
A little black tux.
Although in the wedding photo, they look like the all-American couple,
Hayley and her husband.
He looks like a big football player or something.
But in the photo, Eminem's not smiling.
No, just looking at that, apparently he just doesn't smile.
He has since childhood.
Well, I mean, now and and again You might see him smile
But when it comes to photos
And stuff like that
He does not smile
He's not a smiler
I feel like if there's
Ever going to be a day
That would have been it
Because there's a picture
Of him dancing with her as well
On the dance floor
It'd be the happiest day of your life
And she's like smiling
And he's just like
I'm here
Yeah so I wonder what it is
Some people
Victoria Beckham
She doesn't like smiling apparently
Yeah but she does it more
Like if you watch the Beckham doco,
she's smiling a lot.
She just doesn't do it in photos.
Some people are self-conscious.
If anything, we do it too much.
We do it too much.
Too big smiling, don't we?
Sometimes I end up just smiling weirdly at people in public.
And they're like, who's this weird man?
Yeah, weirdly can put people off, right?
Yeah, it does.
Like eyeballing someone and smiling at them in a stranger
really throws them off their date.
What's up with this guy?
Yeah, why is he creepy and weird? So maybe your mum's got it right. I love his approach to parenting too, Eyeballing someone and smiling at them and a stranger really throws them off their date. What's up with this guy?
Why is he creepy and weird?
So maybe your meme's got it right.
I love his approach to parenting too because she had her graduation
and he hid in the classroom, didn't he?
Because he didn't want to make a fuss.
It wasn't about him.
Watched the live stream of it, I think.
Didn't want everyone to focus on him.
Wanted to be there, but didn't want to make it.
Which is kind of cool.
Very thoughtful thing to do
yeah because you're right
because he would have gone
all about him
so it was pretty cool
that he did that
so I'm guessing he didn't
like perform at the wedding
didn't want to make it
all about him
I don't know if
many of his tracks
would be wedding appropriate
would have been Stan
that would have been great
yeah the full
the full version
Uncensored
just going hard at the wedding
the hits
the Jono and Ben podcast
It's back on the shelves
For the first time
It was abandoned
2011
Cold and flu medicines
With pseudo-epidurine
Back on the shelves
David Seymour
Has been campaigning hard
Yeah I thought
I found it such a funny
Unusual little
Niche he was
He was campaigning to
But obviously
There was enough of them
To put him into parliament
So now you're
Wait it's back on the shelves today.
Yeah, as of now.
Yeah, so you can go, you have to go to see a pharmacist.
Oh, Megan's rough too.
She's been good.
What are you, you're already on steroids, aren't you?
Yeah, steroids.
I don't know if you can mix.
What more do you want?
Back in the day when you take these, you didn't know that it was like, you didn't know what
pseudoephedrine was.
No.
Now.
Oh, the meth cooks did. Yeah, but
now you're like, well, am I microdosing
just pee? Well, that was
the worry, right? Never see a crack addict with a cold,
mate.
They were worried that it was
going to be extracted to make meth, right? That's the way
John Key and the government banned it in
2011. But now you have to go up to the
counter and consult with the pharmacist to get it.
You can't just grab it.
Ah, right.
And Seymour's point was, well, has any less meth been made in New Zealand since the banning of it?
Which, and he sort of sees everyday people who have a cold
and need the best version of this medicine can't get it,
which I get his point.
I imagine there's a lot of admin, too, making it into meth.
I don't know.
I feel like there's less P-Labs though.
Is it just coming from overseas?
Are there any meth cooks listening this morning?
Yeah, just let us know.
There's lots of questions.
Huge amount of admin.
You pretend you've got a cold, go on and get a pack.
Then have someone else go,
no, they can't.
I'm feeling a bit sniffly.
Yeah, you probably need quite a few packs.
You're like, should I panadol?
No, no, I really want this one.
What do you really want this one?
Yeah.
Hell of an Oscar-worthier performance, isn't it? So I'm like, should I pan it out? No, no, I really want this one. What do you really want this one? Yeah. Hell of an Oscar-worthy
performance, isn't it?
So I'm like,
well,
a lot of work
that I have to go to.
And so,
I mean,
if you're willing to go
to that effort,
then good on you.
The Hits,
the Jono and Ben podcast.
DM Megan.
All right,
this is the message
that someone slid
into my DMs with.
If you've got something
you'd like us to put to the people,
feel free to do the same.
We can keep it anonymous.
Who else slides into your DMs?
Well, we say this all the time, but it's just like girls having bants.
Someone asked me where my skirt was from the other day.
Oh, yeah?
Yes.
Yeah, that's not really good radio content, though, is it?
You definitely picked the best of the options.
All right, here we go. Dear Megan, this is quite a heavy content, though, is it? You definitely picked the best of the options. All right, here we go.
Dear Megan, this is quite a heavy one, sorry,
but I'm really struggling with what to do here.
Where was your skirt from?
You're going to feel bad when I read this.
My brother passed away at the start of the year.
Oh, God, why'd you have to do that?
Yeah, and I was helping out his wife with clearing up his admin.
I went on his laptop, going through emails to clear up bill payments, etc.
when I discovered that he had emails from another woman.
Without going into too much information,
it became clear he had been having an affair for quite some time.
He has been married to his wife for six years.
They have a child together and she is like my best friend.
But needless to say, she has no
idea. What do I do now?
Do I tell her and blow up her world?
Or do I keep his dirty little
secret and torment myself?
Because right now, it's all I can think
about when I'm with her.
Oh, God.
That's a tough one. Don't I look like a monster
first and foremost? We'll get that out of the way.
But secondly, just don't say anything.
That's my first instinct.
What did he's got?
There's nothing he can do to repair it or explain it or.
It's just going to, it will tarnish the memory.
You're chucking a grenade into her memories.
Yeah.
But.
Make her question everything.
So when I think of it as like a friend,
I'm like, well, don't tell her.
Right.
Then if I'm her and I think about it... Would you want to know?
I kind of think I would want to know.
Right.
Oh, it's tough.
That's why I saw this on the internet the other day
and I think it's great.
Just bury me with my phone and laptop.
Yeah.
Please.
Yeah.
Like you were saying yesterday,
your phone knows you better than anyone.
Absolutely.
I'll just take it with me, put it out there, bury it, whatever. Put it inside me. Please Yeah Like you were saying yesterday Your phone knows you Better than anyone Absolutely
I'll just take it with me
Put it down there
Whatever
Put it inside me
No you have your
Clearing history friend right
When you die
Someone come in
I don't trust that person at all
Bury me with
If I was that friend
I'd definitely be releasing
All the fun videos
Yeah he's not going to
Trust you with that
This is like a sicko
Who's doing
I'll do it Ben
I'll clear it for you
Thank you Megan
I trust you
So okay
I went under the So you can text 4487 What you. Thank you, Megan. I trust you. So, okay, I went under the hit.
So you can text Paul487.
What would you do in this situation?
What advice can you pass on?
What she says, though, at the end, it's hard because now she,
every time she's with her and every time she hears stories about her
talking about her husband and stuff, she's sitting there with that knowledge.
The guilt of, yeah, knowing as well.
She can just hold on to it when she sees him in the afterlife
or whatever universe we go into when we pass. Punch him in the. In the shins. Yes. Yeah. sees him in the afterlife or whatever universe we go into and we pass.
Punch him in the.
In the shins.
Yes.
Yeah.
Kick him in the shins.
Okay.
100 of the hits.
4, 4, 8, 7.
It's a really, really tough one.
A difficult one.
We'd love your thoughts this morning.
And remember, every caller that gets on the air gets a Dilmar tea price pack
and $100 voucher as well at his International Tea Day.
So give us a call.
We'll get back.
And hopefully we can solve this very complicated dear Megan.
The hits.
The Jono and Ben podcast.
In the middle of a heavy dear Megan.
Dear Megan.
Just to recap quickly, someone slid into your DMs, Megan, with a bit of a dilemma.
Yeah, so their brother passed away at the start of the year.
They've been helping his wife clear up all the admin bills and whatnot
and has discovered on his laptop that he was cheating on his wife.
She has no idea.
They're also very good friends.
So now she's like, well, do I drop that grenade
and blow up all her memories
or do I hold on to a secret and torment myself
because she's talking to her friend every day about her brother.
I just feel like there's so much damage to be done
if you do it's like just don't say anything like when one of us sneakily parks downstairs in the
client car parks none of us say anything because you know that'll cause poor joe who runs the
building some undue stress okay we keep that amongst ourselves no harm no foul but just grace
was just saying though if you did say would it make it easier for them to move on?
Yeah.
Like in a lot of ways, because they probably hold this image of that person and then maybe go, well, maybe it wasn't everything I thought the person was.
Yeah, maybe I didn't know him that well.
I don't know.
How do we know it was an affair on the email, too?
Could have been a long lost sibling.
Love you.
Love you, too.
Well, she said it became quite clear on the emails that he'd been having an affair.
Who seems like emails?
It's old school, baby.
Oh, it's just one step away from the facts.
Let's get Sam on.
You're on.
What do you think here, Sam?
Hey, so speaking from experience, I would recommend the person keep it to themselves.
What do you mean speaking from experience?
So I've had a brother pass away.
Oh my God.
I actually got to know their illegitimate son previously so that I could keep them informed.
And since then, the family really hasn't spoken to me.
I haven't had a relationship with his kids anymore.
And so let sleeping dogs lie.
I kind of believe, I know it's hard at the time to deal with it,
but you're just causing more pain for others, really.
So you told your family about his other life?
Yeah.
Not intentionally
but I thought the other person
had a right to know as well
in case they
wanted to say goodbyes.
And now you regret kind of doing it because it's kind of
fractured your relationship.
Definitely.
When you were just coming from a genuine caring angle,
well, hey, thank you for your advice.
You just say, stay tight-lipped.
Yeah.
Let sleeping dogs lie, Cara.
We'll hook you up with a Dilmar tea prize pack
and a $100 voucher.
Yeah, International Tea Day today, well done.
Let's get Cara on.
What do you reckon?
Dear Megan, does she tell or not?
She definitely tells. Now we've done a whole 180 here. Okay, why do you reckon? Dear Megan, does she tell or not? She definitely tells.
Now we've done a whole 180 here. Why do you say that?
Look, when somebody in a family passes away, a divide happens in any case. It's a double-edged
sword. Yeah, I think she's going to go around talking about this wonderful husband she had,
what a great father he is, when essentially his behaviour has been pretty bad.
When you say it like that, someone she's not that close to might be the one that spills the beans out in public, you know?
Maybe it would be better coming from someone she knows.
That's a great option.
Tell a third party who doesn't know anyone.
I'll give you
$20.
I'll go to the door and go.
Should we take one more quick one? Hayden, you're on. Welcome.
What would you do in this situation?
I would 100% tell the truth.
It's so unfair for the
friends to be holding on to
knowing the facts.
So definitely tell the truth.
All right.
I kind of feel like the truth always comes out in the end, right?
Oh, yeah.
But are you the person to do it or not?
Well, yeah, that's the question.
Okay, so Megan, we need to sum things up.
No, I don't want to.
Everyone that called, of course, got on the air,
wins a Del Marti prize pack and $100 voucher.
Well, if you go by social media, they say don't tell.
And then if you go by who we've had on air, they say do tell.
Yeah, but it's called Dear Megan. What does Megan's tell? I don't tell, and then if you go by who we've had on air, they say do tell. Yeah, but it's called Dear Megan.
What does Megan tell?
I don't know.
When you wake up in the morning, what are you compelled to do most?
Keep the secret or tell her.
I think you've got to go with your gut on this one.
The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
It's International Tea Day today, and Dilma,
we love having them involved with the show.
They all have the best tea, and they're trying to make the world a better tea,
and they do a lot to help out around the world as well.
Yeah.
We also must acknowledge the other days that are taking place on the 21st of May.
Also, National Common Courtesy Day today, Ben.
What is it?
National Fragrance Day as well, and National Kick Butt Day.
Okay.
So enjoy those days as well.
But we're focused on one topic and one topic only.
That's right.
International Tea Day.
You can win
some Dilma tea, some prize packs,
and a $100 voucher. We'll give one away very
shortly on our 800th Hits. And
the big dog from Dilma himself,
Dilhan, joins us. Good morning.
I'm good, thank you. How are you doing
on this bright morning?
Well, it's bright and early over here, but
I don't know how it is for you. Do you know what?
You're on the other side of the world.
No, he's in Australia at the moment.
I was going to say, this line is crystal clear.
Great to be chatting with you again.
It's always nice to hear your voice.
How have you been?
I've been fantastic.
And you know, International Tea Day, it's a special day for us.
Of course, it's always Tea Day at Dilma, but this is a special one.
Why does this one make it any more special than the other tea days?
Well, you know, this tea day,
we are launching a significant educational initiative,
supplementing the midday meal and other things
because tea day is about the workers,
it's about sustainability in the industry,
and we've got a more significant program than ever.
I'm excited because Tea Day
is about tea but it's also about
the future of the tea industry and the people
that work in it. So this
is the biggest we've ever had.
So it's International Tea Day today
you're celebrating. How many cups of tea do you
have a day? Because you know what,
I used to go between
tea and coffee, I would have both.
Oh, don't you dare say the C word here.
I don't have coffee.
I'm all Dilma all day and I'm having a lot.
I want to see if you're having more cups of tea than me, Dilhan.
I do.
I do.
I have at least 15 a day.
And what was that other beverage you mentioned?
You mentioned another beverage.
Never heard of it.
He dropped a C-bomb.
I'm having like probably between six, maybe six cups of tea.
I thought that was, you know, that was pretty good.
But you're having about 15, so I need to up my game.
I mean, I don't want to pry too much into your personal life there,
but how leaky are you, Dilhan?
I don't know how to answer that.
You're like one of those water fountain statues.
Yeah.
All right.
It's good for hydration.
It is.
Good for hydration, guys.
It is really good.
Well, Dohan, thank you so much for your generosity,
generosity, should I say, supporting the show,
giving away some prize packs throughout the morning,
and we can't wait to see you in New Zealand soon.
I'm looking forward to being there.
Thank you, guys.
Great chatting with you, and happy International Tea Day.
Same back to you.
Now, should we give away another pack?
Let's go live.
Let's go live.
Should we go live to five?
Shall we, Grace?
Hello, the hits.
Good morning.
Happy International Tea Day.
Lovely.
Thank you so much.
Great day in the calendar.
It's a great day.
What are you up to today?
Well, excuse me.
I'm actually going to get my wisdom teeth out
of all things.
You sound so cheery about it.
He's quirky.
I know.
Well, obviously,
I haven't had it done before,
so I don't know
what I'm in for.
Are you getting
knocked out to do it?
Yes, I am.
So I'll look forward
to a nice cup of tea
in a few days.
A cup of tea to lie down.
You won't feel a thing.
No, I'll be fine.
Positive.
Yeah.
Sometimes I'm like,
just knock me out and wake me up
in about two weeks, thanks.
What a great sleep.
Child free.
Yeah.
It's sad when you look forward to a general
because you're like,
what a good sleep.
The Hits,
the Jono and Ben podcast.
The portal,
we talked about this the other day,
there was like a live video portal between Dublin, the city and Ireland and New York
and America and people could sort of converse and interact
through this live video streaming. Wholesome idea, you know, connect
people across the globe, love it. And then it got shut down because people were doing
all sorts of lewd things. Flashing boobies and stuff.
A couple of quite grim things and pictures that are holding up and stuff,
which were quite bad taste as well.
So they kind of shut that down.
But now it's open again, tentatively open.
Don't do it.
Limited hours.
This is why we can't have nice things, by the way.
We ruin it.
Yeah, we do.
We ruin it by getting all sorts of genitalia out.
See, the other day, it's the first thing you think of.
It's the first thing when I'm like, oh, there's a link, live link between these two countries.
It's the first thing that comes into my head.
Is it?
Yeah.
Or something that's unoffensive to say or whatever.
Can't wait until someone does that.
That'll be funny.
And that's what happened.
They got shut down.
Don't even trust myself.
Now, over the weekend, I had a very awkward moment because like a week or two ago, like
a member of our friend group,
I won't name him,
but told me some information.
He's like, oh, some gossip.
And you know when people,
like I'm not really a gossiper,
but people tell you gossip and you don't even really want to know it,
but they just want to tell you
because they know the gossip.
They need to get it off their chest.
I know.
Not meant to tell anyone this.
I'm like, well, don't tell me.
Anyway.
What genre of gossip?
So it was a gossip that was two of our mates ended up together, been seeing each other. She's like, oh, you didn't, you know what like genre of gossip so it's a gossip that was two of our mates ended up
together i've been seeing each other she's like oh you didn't you know and to be honest we probably
predicted it for a little while but i was like okay you know but you see you're not me to know
you're not me or something you didn't hear it from me i'm like okay cool and so then did you
then feel the weight of the gossip sitting on you so i kept it i kept it didn't say anything
and but then i had the friend over the weekend who's in the relationship said,
hey, guess what?
I'm in a relationship.
And now this is where I have to act.
Like, I don't know this emotion.
This is the first time.
I'm like, oh my goodness.
Oh, that's amazing.
That's awesome.
You're going Meryl Streep on it.
Yeah, I'm like, great.
Congratulations.
It's awesome.
Had no idea.
Perfect acting situation.
Did you just reenact it then?
Because that felt a little overboard. Wide-eyed with hands the actual performance hey ben how are you mate i'm good
got some news to tell you what's that i'm dating old uh margaret um really have been doing it this
whole time yeah that's awesome i had no idea that's right you look like you knew no i can
see it in your eyes no i definitely didn't know no one told me so anyway i felt like it was
convincing performance for me.
I felt good about that.
But then the other friend arrived, who's in the relationship now.
Okay.
And my friend's like, oh, I just told Ben that we're together.
He goes, great.
And she's like, but you already knew.
I'm like, what?
Because she'd been talking to my other mate who told me the first time.
She's like, he told me that he told you.
And then I'm like, I've just been called out like a lie because i've been acting half of my what was
it now here's where the real acting needs to come in do you pretend you have amnesia
i was just like i was i didn't know what to do to be honest my acting crumbled from that point
onwards because i'm like why would he the person who told me the secret in the first place then go
about and say oh yeah by the way i told ben you secret in the first place, then go about and say, oh, yeah, by the way, I told Ben.
You're like, I didn't even want to know.
No, you just say, I wanted to make you feel like good when you were telling me the news.
I didn't do that.
I didn't want to be like, oh, no.
That happened to another workmate of ours where a boss was leaving.
That's right.
And we had been told the information we weren't meant to know.
Okay, then he got called into a meeting and the boss was like, hey, just so you know, I'm departing.
And he was like, oh, no know uh i'm departing and he was like oh no really
this is a shock we can't lose you and then the boss goes oh well um xyz told me that already
told you same situation and he's like oh what are you doing i forgot what did you say megan how did
you you just be like well i didn't want to deflate you by being like, I knew. I wanted to, like, make you feel good.
I just made it awkward.
My acting was terrible.
Hey, next.
I want to try something.
It's International Tea Day.
And AI.
Yeah.
We're going to combine the two.
A different type of tea next.
I'll wait under the hits.
4487.
You'll win yourself some vouchers this morning, a $100 voucher and a tea pack, thanks to Dilmar.
And we could solve a huge problem today.
You've just got to tell us what's in your fridge or pantry,
what things you could make for dinner, and we'll see if we can solve it next.
The hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
Well, so people normally, you know, sometimes you look at the fridge,
the pantry, you're like, I've got some ingredients,
I don't really know what to do with them.
So we thought we'd plug them into ChatGPT, the artificial intelligence,
you know, bit of software.
It's like Google on steroids. Yeah, and you tell us what you've got in there we'll plug it in and then we'll tell
you what you could be making for dinner yeah chat gpt tea which works for a meal and also works for
tea international tea day as well i had a teacher who was deeply distressed by the term tea for
dinner oh yeah i don't say tea yeah no i hate no, I hate it. We'd wind her up.
We'd be like,
oh, we're off home
and we need a tea, miss.
She's like,
do not call it tea.
It sounds like you're
having a cup of tea.
Dinner.
It was a big boat
of contention for her.
She could have really
let it go and got on
with other stuff in her life.
Right, there's a bunch
of things to worry about.
Let's take someone
on 0800 The Hits.
Okay, Millie,
we're going to get you on.
You name a couple of ingredients,
Megan will insert them into chat GPT
and we'll find out what you're having for tea.
Good luck.
Right, I've got tofu.
Oh, tofu, okay.
Pesto, up and go.
Okay.
I don't know if they're all going to work together, but hey.
Maybe that can be your side drink
Yeah exactly
Some cheese, ketchup and eggs
Great chuck them all in
What flavour up and go are we talking?
We've got vanilla
Oh yeah
That's a versatile flavour
Vanilla rice I think they call it don't they
You could put it as some sort of dessert
With the tofu
Can you have vanilla tofu? I feel like the vanilla up and go is really going to throw it they call it, don't they? You could put it as some sort of dessert with the tofu. Okay, what's ChatGPT come up with?
Can you have vanilla tofu?
I feel like the vanilla up and go is really going to throw it.
We can take it out if you really want.
How does ChatGPT know what tastes nice, though?
Oh, grim.
Okay, pesto tofu bake with vanilla up and go sauce.
It's an unconventional fusion recipe that combines the earthy flavours
of tofu pesto
with a creamy and slightly sweet vanilla sauce.
Love it.
There we go.
We love a fusion restaurant.
It's International Tea Day.
We're going to give you a Dilma tea price back at a $100 voucher as well.
Do you want me to send you that recipe?
Absolutely.
I mean, we love a new recipe.
Try it.
Let us know how it is tomorrow.
I don't know how.
Anyway, we'll take another one.
Welcome to ChatGPT, the use of AI,
the combination of international tea day.
It's all there.
It's working on so many levels.
All right, Kyle, we'll get you on.
You name a couple of ingredients,
we'll see what ChatGPT says you can have for dinner.
You were caught, Kyle.
Kyle, mid-shower.
What's he doing here?
I'm here.
Oh, Kylie.
Kylie.
I thought, oh, my gosh, there's another person before me.
We've got matching names.
Oh, I called you Kyle, mate.
That's all on me.
Then we heard you do a big whooping cough.
All right, Kylie.
What are the ingredients?
Let's plug it in to chat GPT.
I have mushrooms that look like they'll need to go tonight.
Okay.
Mushrooms. Got to go. I've got mushrooms. I have a cottage look like they'll need to go tonight. Okay, mushrooms, got to go.
I have a cottage cheese.
Ooh, okay.
I have a pear.
Okay.
I have couscous.
Ooh, okay.
That's enough, Megan?
That's enough.
Mushrooms in a race against time.
What have we got?
This is a little too wild with this this Okay, what have we got?
It's making a mushroom cottage cheese and pear couscous salad
Oh, so it's everything in there
Yeah, basically it's just like put it all in a bowl, mate, and good luck
Chat GPT's like there's nothing more I can do for you
We're going to hook you up with a Dilmar tea price back at a $100 voucher as well
You have yourself a great international tea day.
The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
Last night, netball.
Netball for my daughter, Indy.
They didn't play at all.
Just a torrential run.
You're like, guys.
You just want to say, we don't have to keep playing.
But they did.
The kids just carried on playing.
They didn't seem to faze the kids too much.
It was a shocking condition standing on the sideline.
I'm kind of glad because we used to plough on back
in the day as well. They'll go through whatever
lightning, tsunamis, doesn't matter
they'll just keep ploughing.
Because there was lightning last night right?
Just keep going. The annoying thing about
netball is rugby
and all those
have to be played on a field outside
more often than not. But you're like there are
plenty of facilities where we can do this exact same game indoors.
Inside.
Inside.
I know.
There's an option available.
And then I got my bluff called for my daughter because my other daughter, Sienna, she's
signed up at the gym.
She wants to train you and get a bit fitter.
And I stupidly said a while ago, I said, to encourage you, any time you want to go to
the gym, you just tell me and I want to go.
And last night, it was probably about 8.30, 9 o'clock, she's like, I really want to go to the gym. At 8. and i want to go and last night it was probably about 8 30 9 o'clock she's like i really want to go to the gym and i was like 8 30 and i was like oh
i've been to the gym today firstly i've already been been in the weather thing and she's like you
said you said any time that i want to go and i was like why did you say any time i don't put an
s-traction off we went to the church down there yeah. You were at the gym at 9 o'clock last night.
Yeah, I was there.
I was in bed, Bats.
Reluctantly.
Anytime, anytime.
Oh, my God.
If you want to go to the gym, you call Ben.
Anytime he'll take you.
I need to put some little parameters on the hours.
I was like, damn, you caught my bluff on that one.
Yeah, daylight hours.
Yeah, exactly.
The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
Wet night, particularly in the north,
and the North Island embracing itself for a wet couple of days.
Heavy rain, thunderstorms, and overnight,
Coromandel, Auckland hit hard.
67 weather-related call-outs for firefighters overnight.
So a lot of flooding and stuff going on.
Torrential rain.
Did notice the weather.
A lot of rubbish strewn over the road.
A lot of bins too.
And you can't figure out if it was delinquent, disenfranchised youth pranking
or if it was the weather.
The signs point towards the weather.
Yeah, probably.
Should we put it on the weather?
Not the troubled youth this time?
Maybe.
Let's do this.
We have to do it before 7 o'clock because it's a little risky here on the Hits Radio Station.
Filthiest and cleanest part of the show, depending on which way you approach it.
Things you can say in the bedroom and today in Parliament at the Beehive.
This one was a little bit difficult.
Yeah, this was your suggestion.
Yeah.
It's all on you.
Yeah, yeah.
People have come through on social media again, so thank you for your help.
Any complaints, please send them to mpappas at hotmail.com.
Okay, let's kick things off.
Things you can say in the bedroom and at the beehive.
Is that a dick?
Oh, no, it's just David Seymour.
Hot out the gate.
Mate, he's just bought a bloody suit.
I'll give him a drink back.
No, I'm not well.
And you were happy for that
Things inside the bedroom at the Beehive
Can the member please stand up
You've been demoted to
The back bench
I don't even know what that means
If you just say it's sultry it sounds naughty
Things inside the bedroom at the Beehive Megan
We've got a hung one
He's polling well naughty. Things you can say in the bedroom at the Beehive, Megan? We've got a hung one.
He's polling well.
If I could please see the member in my chamber.
Been voting. Where does this go?
Just stick it in the box.
What's that? Sorry?
Oh, when you're voting.
Stick it in the box.
It's important. Every orange guy will tell you that.
This session is open to the public.
Is it?
To be honest, I wouldn't be saying that in the bedroom.
No. Please, if anything,
shut the doors, close the curtains,
turn the lights off.
A couple of more things you can
say in the bedroom and at the Beehive.
Alright, it's oral question time. Yes or no?
Why haven't we done?
It's going to be a tight race.
He's on top.
And I'm holding a general election.
That is things you can say
in the bedroom.

The hits this morning,
second most consumed beverage
in the world after water,
we've discovered today.
Yeah, incredible.
Then we're like,
well, water makes up the most of tea,
so you're first and second place, baby.
And we were just actually saying off air
during that song,
that pink song,
weren't we,
that international tea day
more important than all
of our wedding anniversaries combined.
That's right.
It's how much we love Dilmar tea.
And we spoke to Dilhan, who's the big cheese at Dilmar, earlier this morning.
The big tea, mate.
The big tea.
The big tea.
The big tea.
He's not into cheese, is he?
No.
Cheese manufacturing.
Sounds weird saying the big cheese.
What an idiot. It's the big he? No. Cheese manufacturing. Get it right. Sounds weird saying the big cheese. What an idiot.
It's the big bag.
Yeah.
We'll cover that off
on International Cheese Day.
Thank you very much.
But he floored us
with a fact.
So it's International Tea Day
today.
You're celebrating.
How many cups of tea
do you have a day?
Because you know what?
I've, like I used to go
between tea and coffee.
I would have both.
Oh, don't you dare
say the C word here.
I don't have coffee. I'm all Dilmar all day and I'm having a lot. I want to see if you and coffee. I would have both. Oh, don't you dare say the C word here. I don't have coffee.
I'm all Dilmar all day, and I'm having a lot.
I want to see if you're having more cups of tea than me, Dilhan.
I do.
I do.
I have at least 15 a day.
Okay.
And what was that other beverage you mentioned?
You mentioned another beverage.
Never heard of it.
He dropped a C-bomb.
I'm having probably between six, maybe six cups of tea.
I thought that was, you know, that was pretty good.
But you're having about 15, so I need to up my game.
I mean, I don't want to pry too much into your personal life there,
but how leaky are you, Dilhar?
I don't have to answer that.
One of those water fountain statues.
Yeah.
It's Dilhar from Dilmar making the world a better tea on International Tea Day.
But 15 cups of tea, it's a lot.
It's a lot.
Yeah, now this is going to be a very niche topic.
Okay, we'll front foot it.
Oh, 800 the hits.
What are you doing more than 15 times a day?
You could text too, 4487.
Maybe you're having over 15 meetings a day.
That sounds like literal hell to me, but that could be your busy work day.
What else could you do?
15 workouts a day.
Yeah, that's a lot.
I like turning switches off.
I like just turning switches off at home,
making sure they're off, checking the switches.
Would you turn more than 15 switches off?
Yeah, I reckon I definitely go around on my day,
leaving the house, I go around turning switches off,
definitely turning off switches more than 15 a day.
Keep them away from Grandma's life support machine.
Yeah, definitely.
You do not like that.
I'll be like, oh, we don't do that.
So 0800, that's Megan.
Are you doing anything more than 15 times a day?
I sneeze more than 15 times a day.
Is that normal?
No.
No, just all the time.
Really?
Just on an average day?
I sneeze, but blocks of five.
No, I'd definitely say that wouldn't be normal.
Well, not normal for me, at least.
We knew a guy who used to eat 24 apples a day, didn't we?
That's right.
Yeah, he was on an apple-only diet.
I don't think it ended well.
No.
Or the acidic, you know, the acidic nature of it.
Oh, yeah, right.
Yeah.
The hits.
The Jono and Ben podcast.
What are you doing more than 15 of?
What are you having more than 15 of? What are you having more than 15 of?
Yeah.
Dilhan, who owns Dilmar.
Ben, you asked him how many cups of tea he has a day.
15.
He's just a bloody capsule sloshing around tea all day long.
It's on brand.
He didn't listen to the don't get high on your own supply rule, did he?
Dilhan.
We really do appreciate it.
They're great supporters of the show as well.
And thanks to them, we're giving away $100 vouchers throughout the morning

Moan about my work colleagues.
Call the Hits radio station More than 15 times a day
Another great one here
I work in a cafe
And I politely laugh
At people saying
No sugar
I'm sweet enough
More than 15 times a day
Great joke
If you say that
Please stop
It's not the first time
They've heard it
You are a former cafe worker
It makes my eye twitch
It's so fun to say
Please don't.
No thanks, I'm sweet.
Please don't.
You have to go.
I have to go.
I don't, to be honest, I say it now, but yeah.
Because you just have to go.
It's your job, mate.
So many things to talk about.
Mention the rain.
I don't know, anything, but I'm sweet enough.
All right, let's get the calls and texts to give away some of these prize packs.
Thanks to Dilmar.
Okay, Ellen, we'll get you on from Nelson.
Do you take sugar?
Yes, I do.
Okay, that didn't work then, did it?
Ellen, what are you doing more than 15 times a day?
So the amount of earrings I've lost,
I make it a habit that I touch my earrings throughout the day.
Oh, just to check that the little butterfly thing is on there.
Yeah, gotcha.
You knew the name of that.
Good on you.
I house all the three girls with the earrings everywhere.
I know all about the butterflies.
Yeah.
Yes.
Both Ben and me did dip our toes into the earring game.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Back in the day, your dad, he made you take your jewellery back to Pascoe's.
Yeah, like he tolerated a smaller one, but when I
got a big one, he's like, look like a curtain ring.
And he made me take it back to Pascoe's to get my money back.
Look like a pirate.
He's like, it's trying to look like LL Cool J, Dad.
To be fair, looking back, it was probably
for the best.
About a time, I was like, dude.
So, touching your ear rings more than
15 times a day. Well, Ellen, that's got your
teapack and $100 voucher.
You're going to have a great day.
Awesome.
Thank you.
You guys too.
Great to hear from your mate.
Hamilton is where we're heading.
And Hayley, you're on.
Good morning.
I'm Hayley.
Hayley, how are you?
Good.
The person who I...
As you already know, I'm a physio.
Yeah.
And I definitely treat more than 15 patients a day.
Oh, jeez, 15.
That's... Now, how are your hands at the end of the day?
I give my wife, Jennifer, a massage,
and she gets annoyed because I start counting down from 10 towards the end.
My hands are at my thumbs ache.
How do you do that all day long?
When I first got out of uni, I was pretty tired by the end of the day,
but now it's okay.
And I think the other thing that I do more than 15 times a day is say the F word.
Oh yeah, well if you
could try and hold a refrain.
I mean finger.
Maybe not now.
We're going to give you a Dilmar tea prize
pack and a $100 voucher. Enjoy.
Woohoo! Thank you. Happy International
Tea Day. And to you.
And to you. And Jennifer. Welcome.
You're on. Hi. Happy International Tea Day. And you. And you. And Jennifer. Welcome. You're on.
Hi.
Happy International Tea Day, baby.
Raising a cup of kindness with Dilma on International Tea Day.
What are you doing more than 15 times a day?
I hear the word, ma.
More than 15 times a day.
She could probably safely double it.
Yeah.
Poor thing. I have a four-year-old who is very, very active, a little boy,
and I also have a 10-year-old who's got autism.
So, yeah, mummy needs to hand everything over and do everything all day long.
She's got mum and surround sound.
Have we got any of the kids nearby, Jennifer?
No, thankfully, I've just dropped the last one off at school.
You can hear the relief. Jennifer? No thankfully I've just dropped the last one off at school so I'm just I'm literally sitting in the car
being like
okay it's done for the day.
We've got some tea coming your way you can have a nice cup of tea
and a $100 voucher.
That sounds amazing.
The hits the Jono and Ben podcast
old and fluid medicines with
pseudoephedrine back on the shelves
as of today
you have to consult with a pharmacist but David Seymour has been a big campaigner of that Old and fluid medicines with pseudoephedrine back on the shelves as of today.
You have to consult with a pharmacist,
but David Seymour has been a big campaigner of that in the Beehive to bring that back.
It was banned in 2011 because they thought it would be extracted to make meth.
Question, yes, Megan?
You don't have to give a prescription?
No, you just have to consult with a pharmacist.
And you have to say what exactly?
I guess you either have to be genuinely sick or your performance is good enough for them to believe
you are sick. Or you can just be honest.
Hey man, I'm just trying to get into the meth game.
We asked, how does it
participate in the meth process? Then
Megan foolishly googled
how to make meth on the work wifi.
Yeah, you can think about that. Yeah, you're going to be hearing about
that. No, but you get blocked from looking
at sexy things, but they didn't block me from that. That, you're going to be hearing about that. No, but you get blocked from looking at sexy things,
but they didn't block me from that.
That's a money stream revenue for this company.
A friend of mine sent a picture.
He was at an ice skating rink in Christchurch.
And the person who was maintaining the rink,
hard people, hard people in the South Island. Yeah.
And he was on the ice in shorts and bare feet.
Oh.
Bare feet.
Madness.
We just love, we will take bare feet anywhere in this country.
Like you see a lot of bare feet at the supermarket.
I know it does throw overseas visitors, really throws them out when they see people wandering
through a Westfield mall in bare feet and stuff.
It's kind of a bit of a New Zealand thing. I mean,
after they're going to put on something, it's like jandals or
crocs these days, isn't it? It's just like unhygienic
though. And like,
what if you stand on something where you get germs
and you've got cracks in your feet or something? Immunity
builds up immunity, doesn't it?
It's always good to know what the temperature of the ground
is too, to be able to feel that.
But I said to him, I was like, what? Was he just
doing this as a joke? He said, no, no, he was in bare feet the whole time it felt like it felt like that
he obviously did some bare feet stuff and it became his thing and he can't go back on it now
but wouldn't his feet go numb yeah on that and that's like stingy yeah not for this guy
led you i had an uncle who was like that. Never wore shoes.
He only wore shoes on his wedding day.
And I think at a funeral he went to.
Never wore shoes.
And what was his feet like?
They were hardened.
They did have a calisthenic, wouldn't they?
Yeah.
There's a guy at the moment, I was just reading about that.
I was telling you the other day, a guy walking across America.
He's doing it for mental health.
In bare feet.
The whole of America.
He's walking from one end to the other. Could he not just wear shoes and still do it for mental health in bare feet the whole of America he's walking from one end to the other
could he not just wear shoes
and still do it for mental health
it still seems like quite a large feat
I mean yes true
walking across America in shoes
is a great feat
yeah
Forrest Gump did it
yeah
but bare feet as well
it seems quite unnecessary
you're right
it's already impressive Megan
you're dead right
but again
he might be able to prove a point
he might have been the barefoot guy
things are cooler in bare feet like we're now point. He might have been the barefoot guy.
Things that call it in bare feet.
Like we're now talking about it. We wouldn't have been talking about it.
Yeah, the guys walk across American shoes.
Everyone's like, oh, well, you know, put your arm up.
Yeah, right.
Now we're talking about it in New Zealand.
What's that?
Some people just say shoes is a sign of weakness, don't they?
A flaw in your character if you wear shoes.
Their feet feel imprisoned.
Where's the craziest?
Would you walk into a public toilet in bare feet?
No. No way.
Summertime, you're at the beach. No, people sprinkle
on the floor. I'd rather not.
If the beach, you might have wandered in and
you'd gone, oh jeez, where are my Crocs?
It's like the gym showers.
You always wear jandals.
Maybe you'd ride along on a plane
going into the bathroom in your socks.
Don't even do that Because people spring on the floor
I should have worn socks at this
Hey I said I don't recommend that
I was like yeah it'd be fine
And you walk in there
It's not fine
It's confronting
Megan
Some domestic issues going on at home with Andrew
Trouble in paradise
Yesterday Ben was like What are you doing today?
And he probably regretted it because I was like, actually, I'm going to prune my apricot tree.
I wonder if that was code for something.
I was just like, I'm going home to prune the trees.
Shave the legs or something.
Yeah, I don't know what was going on.
No, it was actually.
Every time you mention something about your house, it's always like your neighbour delivers fresh fruits from the forest.
You've got apricot trees i imagine you live in a rolling english meadow where you spend your days frolicking in
the long grass we do live out in the wop somewhat yeah do you have a swing under a tree that you sit
in oh no but now i want one okay it's not what i imagine then no but we've got like fruit trees
and um i we've got a passion fruit vine so i have done some gardening in the past and I don't clean up my mess.
So I trim it all down and then I just leave a pile.
So Andrew, my husband's always like, you're doing half of it.
You've got to clean up the rest.
You're trimming your bush.
Clean it up.
Yeah.
So yesterday he hasn't had time to prune the apricot tree.
I don't really know what I'm doing.
But I was like, how hard can it be?
Cut some branches.
I was going to give it a crack.
Took me 45 minutes.
It was easy.
Had a saw though because the branches were quite thick.
And so I did that.
Took me 45 minutes.
Looks way better.
Probably did it wrong.
Whatever.
And then I had all these branches on the lawn.
So I was like, I'm going to cut them up into similar sized pieces.
And I'm going to pack them all into a pile and put them
in the shed and dry them for like firewood.
So I did it, but it took me an hour and a half with the saw.
Jesus, what a productive Monday you had.
I know.
And you're not well too.
I know.
It was cold outside, but I put it all into a pile and I was so impressed with my effort
cutting it all up that when he got home, I showed him the pile and recorded his reaction.
And then that is the pile of stuff.
Yeah.
That took me an hour and a half to cut it all up into same-sized pieces
for, like, firewood.
Took you an hour and a half?
To cut it all up into, with the saw.
But did you use a nail file?
No, I used the saw.
You know we've got a chainsaw, right?
We don't have a chainsaw.
Yes, we've got a chainsaw.
You could use the chainsaw.
It's a little one.
Since when have we had a chainsaw?
It's the little one.
And it just cuts up little things quickly.
Are you f***ing kidding me?
Could have done it in 10 minutes.
45 minutes trimming a tree, she's got a mouth like a forestry worker.
So, no no But all together
It was like
Over two hours
Of effort
When it could have
Taken me 10 minutes
To cut up
He could have held on
To the chainsaw information
Yeah
Exactly
Yeah
Where was the grateful
You did a great job
You've cut it all up
Good effort
He always sounds adorable though
He does
He's like we've got a chainsaw
We've got a little one
That's a lot
How does he come out good in this
I thought he just sounds adorable
He's a catch I was does he come out good in this? I thought he just sounds adorable.
He's a catch.
I was the one cutting the tree.
I know.
I put all the effort in. You're a wheezy and bloody asthmatic at the moment.
Excuse me?
You sound like a 47-year-old lung cancer victim, mate.
Nothing sexier than someone puffing on their inhaler.
Thank you.
She's getting a wheezy now.
All right, I guess outside and have a gasp
She's got to have a quick one before the news
The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast
Now Maddie and PJ
Hosts of the Maddie and PJ Afternoon
Programme here on The Hits
Are travelling around the country
At the moment, the best of New Zealand
Tasting, basically just eating their way
Around New Zealand, sounds amazing, a dream
A sham operation just to get free food everywhere they go.
Let's call it spade a spade.
And Maddie McLean and PJ Harding join us now from Christchurch.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Oh dear, you excuse us of coming up with this idea just to travel around and get free food.
We would never do that.
What?
We'd never.
Well, yeah, okay, so yesterday in Bacargal Batch Cafe, we've been there before.
They have the most amazing cheese rolls.
Unreal.
Now, here's the thing, though.
PJ and I looked at each other in the eyes last week,
and we said, let's go easy.
This is a marathon, not a sprint.
We're on the road for five days.
So we said, we can just take little nips.
We don't have to eat everything that's put in front of us.
We don't have to be silly about it, and we can have self-control.
Just because it's on our plate doesn't mean we have to knock it off.
And what have we done?
You've done this the wrong way,
because you guys were doing half marathons last week or whatever.
And I think we've used that as an excuse to be able to just gorge our faces
with as much food as possible.
Oh, well, today, Dimitri's Suvalaki Christchurch.
My mouth's already watering thinking about it.
You're going to be there from 9 to 10 this morning.
40 vouchers to give away to celebrate 40 years.
They're incredible Suvalakis from there.
Oh, look, if you've been to Christchurch, you know you can't go away
without having a Dimitri's Suvalaki.
So, yeah, we've got a heat to give out this morning.
And, look, you might not think it's a bricky food, but today it is.
Absolutely.
So come down and get a sous vide from Dimitri's here at Riverside.
A bit of lamb for breakfast.
Why not?
Right?
That's great.
Fantastic Air New Zealand hasn't implemented the weigh as you fly program just yet.
And also, while we're here and we're talking about food, PJ, I've been meaning to discuss
with you, we were in a bit of a group lunch situation last week, all of us.
Don't do that.
Oh yeah, we're filming something, right?
Yeah, and what I love about PJ, it was just 45 minutes of absolute shambles.
Absolute shambles.
And so she said, oh, can I have some broccoli?
So I hand over, one-handed, the tray of broccoli.
She then stabs the broccoli.
I have to let go of the thing, and it spills all over the table.
She's blaming my weak wrists.
It was weak wrists.
I'm used to strong farmer hands.
I had some BJ.
He wouldn't have dropped the plate, John.
I'll just say that.
No, my weak urban wrists certainly went up to it.
But you stabbed the broccoli.
That's a scoop situation, not stab.
Look, it was a blanched broccoli.
I actually was thinking it was going to be boiled.
She was pretty hard.
So that's what got me, I reckon.
Can I just say,
and I know I should be
fighting in my co-host's corner,
but already this morning, PJ has
ended up with yogurt on
her face. She spilled her
muesli milk all over her
pan. So I do think
there is a slight pattern here.
It definitely sounds like it.
Just watching you for 45 minutes, I'm like,
how are you functioning as a human being?
I honestly don't know how I'm a mother, guys.
I don't know. I have to mother
myself. Matty has to mother me.
It's a miracle we're actually here.
Well, you're going to be in Christchurch
this morning, 9-10, Demetrius, and then
we'll be across to Wellington, is that correct?
3pm.
We're going to be in the capital this afternoon at Mojo. So come down, 9 till 10, Demetrius. And then we'll be across to Wellington. Is that correct? 3 p.m. That's right.
We're going to be in the capital this afternoon at Mojo.
So come down and get a coffee.
She's going to be cold.
So come warm up with us.
And actually, we've got a chance to play Alpha Quiz live.
So if anyone wants to come down and do it live with us,
you'll win $1,000.
We'll be doing that at 4.45.
There's two people comfortably eating their way around the country.
We're just jealous.
Maddie and PJ, supersize me, going around.
All the videos. We'll catch up with you, everybody.
We'll catch up with you tomorrow.
