Starting point is 00:00:00 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?
Starting point is 00:00:34 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.
Starting point is 00:00:44 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.
Starting point is 00:01:08 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?
Starting point is 00:01:21 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,
Starting point is 00:01:30 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
Starting point is 00:01:45 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
Starting point is 00:01:51 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
Starting point is 00:01:58 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
Starting point is 00:02:06 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
Starting point is 00:02:16 United Kingdom would have taken that out. But actually third. India. Turkey. Then Ireland. Turkey, Ireland and then United Kingdom
Starting point is 00:02:24 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.
Starting point is 00:02:37 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,

Starting point is 00:03:11 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.
Starting point is 00:03:30 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.
Starting point is 00:03:43 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.

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.
Starting point is 00:05:01 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

Starting point is 00:06:10 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.
Starting point is 00:06:24 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.
Starting point is 00:06:31 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.
Starting point is 00:06:40 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.
Starting point is 00:06:46 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.
Starting point is 00:07:00 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
Starting point is 00:07:19 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.
Starting point is 00:07:32 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,
Starting point is 00:07:52 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
Starting point is 00:08:06 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
Starting point is 00:08:14 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
Starting point is 00:08:22 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?
Starting point is 00:08:33 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?
Starting point is 00:08:46 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.
Starting point is 00:09:01 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
Starting point is 00:09:10 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
Starting point is 00:09:17 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
Starting point is 00:09:26 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
Starting point is 00:09:35 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
Starting point is 00:09:43 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.
Starting point is 00:09:54 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
Starting point is 00:10:07 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.
Starting point is 00:10:24 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.
Starting point is 00:10:43 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,
Starting point is 00:10:57 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
Starting point is 00:11:06 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
Starting point is 00:11:12 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
Starting point is 00:11:22 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.
Starting point is 00:11:38 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?
Starting point is 00:11:55 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.
Starting point is 00:12:18 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
Starting point is 00:12:35 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.
Starting point is 00:12:53 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.
Starting point is 00:13:10 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.
Starting point is 00:13:20 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
Starting point is 00:13:26 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
Starting point is 00:13:34 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
Starting point is 00:13:40 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?
Starting point is 00:13:49 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.
Starting point is 00:14:07 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.
Starting point is 00:14:13 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.
Starting point is 00:14:28 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.
Starting point is 00:14:49 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
Starting point is 00:15:20 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.
Starting point is 00:15:40 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?
Starting point is 00:16:03 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.
Starting point is 00:16:31 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
Starting point is 00:16:56 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.
Starting point is 00:17:12 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.
Starting point is 00:17:25 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.
Starting point is 00:18:07 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
Starting point is 00:18:21 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.
Starting point is 00:18:33 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.
Starting point is 00:18:48 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.
Starting point is 00:19:07 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.
Starting point is 00:19:23 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.
Starting point is 00:19:36 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.
Starting point is 00:19:51 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,
Starting point is 00:20:13 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
Starting point is 00:20:33 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.
Starting point is 00:20:48 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.
Starting point is 00:21:02 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.
Starting point is 00:21:22 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,
Starting point is 00:21:35 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.
Starting point is 00:21:49 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.
Starting point is 00:21:59 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.
Starting point is 00:22:09 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.
Starting point is 00:22:18 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.
Starting point is 00:22:27 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,
Starting point is 00:22:36 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
Starting point is 00:22:56 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.
Starting point is 00:23:16 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?
Starting point is 00:23:29 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
Starting point is 00:23:44 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
Starting point is 00:23:53 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
Starting point is 00:24:05 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.
Starting point is 00:24:32 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.
Starting point is 00:24:39 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
Starting point is 00:25:03 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?
Starting point is 00:25:18 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.
Starting point is 00:25:47 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
Starting point is 00:26:07 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.

Starting point is 00:26:45 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.
Starting point is 00:27:04 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,
Starting point is 00:27:28 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
Starting point is 00:27:35 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,
Starting point is 00:27:46 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.
Starting point is 00:28:04 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
Starting point is 00:28:19 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?
Starting point is 00:28:33 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.
Starting point is 00:28:51 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.

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.
Starting point is 00:29:21 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.

Last night, netball. Netball for my daughter, Indy. They didn't play at all. Just a torrential run. You're like, guys.
Starting point is 00:30:34 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
Starting point is 00:30:50 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.
Starting point is 00:31:07 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
Starting point is 00:31:20 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.

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.
Starting point is 00:32:20 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?
Starting point is 00:32:37 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.

I thought that was, you know, that was pretty good. But you're having about 15, so I need to up my game.

Starting point is 00:36:17 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.
Starting point is 00:36:31 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.
Starting point is 00:36:50 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?

He's like, it's trying to look like LL Cool J, Dad. To be fair, looking back, it was probably

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.
Starting point is 00:40:34 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.

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,
Starting point is 00:41:28 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.
Starting point is 00:41:51 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.
Starting point is 00:42:07 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
Starting point is 00:42:27 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
Starting point is 00:42:43 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.
Starting point is 00:43:07 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,
Starting point is 00:43:25 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.
Starting point is 00:43:41 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.
Starting point is 00:44:11 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.
Starting point is 00:44:22 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
Starting point is 00:44:33 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
Starting point is 00:44:40 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.
Starting point is 00:44:52 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?
Starting point is 00:45:05 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
Starting point is 00:45:21 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
Starting point is 00:45:36 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.
Starting point is 00:45:56 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.
Starting point is 00:46:29 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?
Starting point is 00:46:43 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.
Starting point is 00:46:54 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.
Starting point is 00:47:12 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
Starting point is 00:47:34 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.
Starting point is 00:47:48 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.
Starting point is 00:48:04 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
Starting point is 00:48:12 To the chainsaw information Yeah Exactly Yeah Where was the grateful You did a great job You've cut it all up Good effort
Starting point is 00:48:17 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.
Starting point is 00:48:25 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.
Starting point is 00:48:41 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
Starting point is 00:48:57 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.
Starting point is 00:49:14 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.
Starting point is 00:49:30 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.
Starting point is 00:49:46 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.
Starting point is 00:50:07 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.
Starting point is 00:50:27 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.
Starting point is 00:50:45 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.
Starting point is 00:51:06 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.
Starting point is 00:51:19 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
Starting point is 00:51:34 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?
Starting point is 00:51:50 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.
Starting point is 00:52:05 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.
Starting point is 00:52:20 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.
