This John Owen Ben podcast, hey that's us, brought to you by HelloFresh, the experts and tastes that Kiwis love. My daughter's had a netball game and I had some other stuff on so I wasn't at the game. And one of the mums... Yeah, go to your daughter's netball game. Oh no, they play every week. I try and go when I can. Once you've seen amateur school grade netball... No, it's good. I do love going along but they play every week and sometimes you've got've got you know with a family with two kids you know you've got other stuff

do you miss a Warriors game? yeah sometimes I do sometimes I do not as much as I miss the netball no no I do love watching my daughters it's awesome

go watch both my daughters what do you prefer? watching your daughters play netball or the Warriors play rugby league? I'm going to say my daughters play netball alright I'm going to say

I'm going to say you're a liar publicly I do I love watching my daughters play netball it is a really nice it is fun it is and one day parents said to me on the sidelines I'm going to say you're a liar. Publicly, I do. I love watching my daughters play. It is really nice. It is fun.

It is. And one day, parents said to me on the sidelines the other day, it's like one day, this may not be a thing you can do. You know, because you think about sports. Some people go on and play sport forever, but other people don't.

There's going to be a day, that was my last game to watch and you didn't know it was your last game to watch. That's a very good point. Enjoy every game. They might not play the following season. But did you go at the weekend? I don't know it was your last game to watch. That's a very good point. Enjoy every game. They might not play the following season. But did you go at the weekend? I don't know.

But I did go the last. I did go last Monday night. I did go the Saturday before. So he's got plenty of great memories to enjoy. What is this? So anyway, one of the mums was... What is this? Inquiring.

So one of the mums was doing a great job, though, for those that couldn't make the game, of updating the score throughout on the group chat. Oh, beautiful. Great things to group chat as well. You know, when the games are on, you know, when you have to pick kids up and all that sort of stuff for the practices.

And it was a very close game. And my daughter's team were down with a quarter to go. Again, blow by blow sort of updates throughout. As you know, now and again, you'd comment on it or other people would comment on it. And one of it was like two points down with a quarter to go. What were you commenting? Come on, girls. Oh, just normally just hard at all, you know and now and again you'd comment on it or other people would comment on it and one of it was like two points down with it with a quarter to go what were you commenting come on girls i would just normally just heart it or you know like yeah but this one i was like it was two points down quarter to go and i went wow close is what i want well close one i think i

went to right and then i went away from my phone you know carried on what i was doing and then i looked back later i was like dear god i somehow auto-corrected to, wow, losers. And I don't know how, and I kept typing it later. How did those little losers get this so close? They were down by two, and I was like, wow, that couple of guys were really harsh. They'd been there for about 35 minutes on the group chat. Had anyone hearted it?

No, no one had hearted it at all. Just a cold comment sitting alone. Then you have to do the whole degrading thing when you delete the comment as well, and it's like, bad Boys has deleted the comment. Like, what did he say? You know? No, because it looks like you regret it now. You should just be like, oh, my God, I didn't realize I'd said that.

You should have gone auto-corrected the arrows up. I was typing in my phone later. I was like, how? And I couldn't get it again. I was like, I don't know how I got it again. Sometimes the phone's like, hey, buddy, I just want you to appreciate me every now and then. Do you know the other one? He sent an article to the Netball WhatsApp group,

and it was an article on two entrepreneurial ladies who had started a thriving dildo business. Yeah, so it was like, and so because we got, I had my Netball group chat going on for one of my daughter's teams and the radio group chat, and I mixed up the group chats and I went, we should talk to these ladies and sent the link to the article about the adult toys

and sent that to the netball chat. Maybe you could have sold us, let's talk to these inspiring wahine toa. Maybe we can use these as fundraisers. Buzzy toys. Did anyone reply to that message? No, again,

and they had to do another degrading. Did you do it? Your voice is deleted. This is coming up with some controversial content. The new Bullwads. It was like, wow, that's interesting.

Why do I want to talk to these people? The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. Look at our torch. Now, this is the torch we put on a week and a half ago.

It's, you know, nothing to do with Paris, they had their old torch thing going on, but we decided we'd have our own torch. I think we're safe to say it now. I think we're safe, we're out, we're out. Listen, the Olympics were on, and they had a torch ceremony,

and we ripped off our own Olympic torch ceremony, okay? The Olympics are done now, mate. The lawyers have got shut doors. No more suing. Yeah, so we put it on thinking it only lasts a couple of days, and you could basically guess when you thought the torch was going to run out of battery. The closest to the time that it ran out would win $500

and you could do that at the Hits Breakfast. You still can on Facebook because this blimmin' torch is still going almost two weeks later. We are concerned now, though, because someone said it could last for, like, years. Yeah. Now are you regretting embarking on this journey or are you enjoying it? I'm kind of, like, low-key loving the fact that it still keeps going.

Yeah, it's pretty incredible. Like, it's an amazing thing. You thought it's newsworthy, didn't you? Yeah, of course I did. Well, I don't know when things do become newsworthy. To me, this is incredible that for 12 days this torch has just been shining. But maybe it's like sort of, you know, when those ultra-marathon runners,

they start running across Europe. No one cares for the first three to six months, do they? And then everyone starts, oh, they're doing that. They're still going. Then the intrigue, the hearts and imaginations are captured. But we'll go through to the New Zealand Herald, who coincidentally they're just upstairs, the newspaper.

See if there's any interest. Give them an exclusive. New Zealand Herald. Hello, we've got the news line. It's Jono, Ben and Megan from the Hits. How are you? Yeah, good. How are you? Good, good. We've got a hot news story for you. Okay, get this. A torch, a battery operated torch that was turned on

a week and a half ago. At a torch, a battery-operated torch that was turned on a week and a half ago at a torch ceremony. It's still going. It's still going. Jesus. Yeah, I know. That's front-page news. I know there's a weather bomb going on and stuff.

Did you turn the torch on? We turned it on. Yeah, we haven't turned it off since. It's been since Wednesday. Yeah, probably much 12 days ago, yeah. 12 days ago. Yeah. You can have could have the headline lights out question mark what do you think is there any mirrors in this story potentially let me um let me see if i can pass it on see if anyone's interested okay i feel like it's a maybe that's all right that's all right you you talk to your

people uh we'll be well you know where we are. Are you downstairs? Yeah, we're downstairs. Yep, a bright idea. Another great headline. Have you got any other questions about the torch? No, no, not yet. But let us know if it goes out.

Okay, we will. You go away, think of some questions, and we'll come back. Okay, cheers. Thanks, mate. No more questions. I just want to say that. No more questions. Thank you.

The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Megan. Someone has slid into Megan's DMs right now with a bit of a dilemma. We do it every week. If someone has written to you and written to the show for some advice. Yes. This one is anonymous as always. If you do have one, we can keep it anonymous.

Just slide into my DMs and let us know. One week I'd like a first and last name actually and location just so someone owns their issues. This says, Dear Megan, I recently found myself in a tricky situation. While my friend was away on a work trip, she spotted my father-in-law at a bar holding hands with another woman. My friend wasn't sure whether to tell me, but she eventually did because she felt it was something I should know.

Now I'm caught in a difficult position. I'm unsure whether to tell my husband, confront my father-in-law, or keep this information to myself. The last thing I want to do is cause any unnecessary drama in the family, especially since my relationship with my husband's family has always been strong. I'm stuck. So any advice would be greatly appreciated. Ooh, there's a few question marks for me. It wasn't like you saw the father-in-law.

It was your friend who was at a bar. How can you be 100% certain it was the father? I mean, it sounds like it could be, but you're right. But you'd be able to find out pretty easily if the father-in-law was away at the same place. True. You could do some digging on that. Amen, sister. You cancelled out that one from me.

So let's say, okay, hypothetically, that she'd done some digging and found out it was the father-in-law. Now, second thing I want to raise is let's not all jump to conclusions. Whose hand was he holding? Was he consoling a sister who had been given a parking ticket? Was he consoling an Australian breakdancer who had been bullied on the internet? It could be a palm reader. I mean, we don't know that. He's the palm reader.

You sound like two guys that have been caught in trouble. You're coming up with terrible excuses. You can't be a palm reader without holding hands. We're crossing the brainstorm room. Okay, mate, what have you done? Ooh, okay, pants man. What have we got? What have we got?

Palm reader? Give me some palm reader. Okay. You barely hold your wife's hand. Why on earth would you be holding another woman's hand? You're a palm reader, Megan. I'm picking just leave it. Stay out of it.

Keep it to yourself. Anything that you say or do is just going to cause... Okay, if he's done it, that's going to be a huge bombshell, blow the family apart. If he hasn't done it, you're going to be like, mate, why are you throwing those stones that have been smooching up the babes out of town? But you're saying blowing the family apart and everything, it would be her fault when

it's his fault for doing silly things. Oh, my man sister. My man sister again. I mean, I get it. People shoot the messenger. So I guess it's whether you want to deal with that drama or just... So what would you do? Like, oh, Andrew, that's 4487.

In this situation, what is the advice we need to give this person? Megan, what would you do? Like, oh, Andrew, the hit's 4-4-8-7. In this situation, what is the advice we need to give this person? Megan, what are you thinking? I think I'd tell my husband. That's his dad, right? Yeah. Yeah.

You'd tell... Would you tell Andrew? Yeah, and then I'd get him to deal with it. Well, true. That's off my mind. Yeah. Hey.

Is your dad a palm reader, first question? And then the answer's no, second. Does he know Reagan? Yeah, and then after that, we'll get into this. This is involving a, what is an accused handsy father-in-law? Yeah, well, so someone's friend was away on a work trip. They spotted their father-in-law holding hands with another woman.

So my friend wasn't sure whether to tell me, but she did. Now she doesn't know what to do with that information. Does she tell her husband, whose dad it is? Does she stay out of it? Or does she confront the father-in-law herself? Now, here's the issue. What do you do? Do you back the gossip truck up?

Or do you dip your nose in some maple syrup and get your sticky beak in there? You're saying you'd tell Andrew, your husband. I would pass on the information to him and be like, it's your dad, you deal with it. Yeah, do what you want. Do you want to sit on that information or do you want to confront him? A lot of people are agreeing with you on the text machine this morning. None of them wanting to come on the radio though. There's one here, like,

I'd wait for a family gathering, and then innocently ask, with an audience, how was the destination? My friend said, she spotted you down there. Oh, with an audience! And then, see what the explanation is, otherwise, you know.

Almost leave that by the show. High risk. Yeah. Shooting for the entertainment stars there. Roll the camera on that one. Yeah. Don't do it with an audience. A front of the audience.

What, it's a great Texas company. A lot of Texas saying just keep out of it. Nothing good will come from it. First thing she'd do is tell her husband. Leave it in his hands. They're agreeing with you there, Megan. Because that feels to me like you're keeping a secret from your husband then. Like, I wouldn't want to deal with that.

Well, yeah, true. I guess you're right. If you're a unified relationship, the two of you would say, hey, how did this thing come to me? I don't know if I should do anything, but I wanted to tell you. And then you put the burden on them. I'm all about putting the burden on someone else. Now, my son's just texted me, wow, with a head explosion. Now, I think he's listening to this as well.

He can't get his head around it. Do you think so? Well, I don't know. It could be that because I did see him in an Instagram video about a medley of NBA players when they first dunked at what age. So I don't know if he's going, wow, to that. But that was a couple of days ago. Or this has just come through now where he's going, wow, to our topic on air.

Oh, maybe. I like, wow, topic on air. Oh, maybe. I like to think the topic on air. What's he like about marital affairs and stuff like that? He's into that? Is that in his wheelhouse? We can call him and ask. Let's get an answer to this question, all right? I'll dial him now.

You can text 2044872. I feel like it would be the NBA when they dunked. But hey, I don't know. I'm still keen to hear what he has to say about this situation, though. Okay. Say you saw your dad. Sorry, I can't answer your call right now. Doesn't want to be a part of the show.

He screened your call. At the tone, record your message. There you go. That's what's going on in my family. Screened by my own son? Okay, so we need to get back to this person. There's two schools of thought Say nothing

Or say Tell your husband This person tell the husband I still think Tell the husband That's the end result Put the burden on him The hits

The Jono and Ben podcast Excuse me He plays drums In the school band He plays timpani You heard of timpani It's like the big Massive drums And then he does drums In the jazz band I hadn't heard of it either No it was a new instrument to me I. You heard of timpani? It's like the big doom, doom, doom, massive drums.

And then he does drums in the jazz band. I hadn't heard of it either. No, it was a new instrument to me. I hadn't heard of it either. Pitching timpani in the park. Was it timpani in the park? Yeah, like symphony in the park, but there's just someone playing the timpani. Boom, boom, boom.

What do you reckon? Do you ever go take off? I don't know. I don't want to say no. One person beating a timpani is definitely not going to take off. You can say that it's not going to take off. It's fair to say. I love my son.

But, you know, if you've just got one tympanist in the park, are you wanting to sell tickets to this event? I don't know. I just like the name. But, yeah, so he's at this week-long music festival. It's a competition. And it's so sweet, too, and maybe I'm getting old, is when you see kids who have found like-minded kids

and they're all hanging out and they can be themselves and be comfortable in their own skin. That was like, you'd see that when Sienna does her shows. Yeah, does musical theatre. You find people from other schools all together and hang out and they've found this sort of common interest. And yeah, it's amazing. It's awesome.

It's important to be yourself and be able to be yourself. Otherwise you end up as a radio host playing a bumbling idiot for six hours a day. And then you get home and you're like, am I still that bumbling idiot? Who am I in real life? Existential crisis here. But there was a lovely speech that the emcee was doing a fantastic job. The emcee's like, hey, you know, music is considered the purest form of entertainment because, you know, it transcends, you know, you know culture language it's a shared experience

we're all in this room sharing this experience good mc no remember that next time we have to mc something yeah it's good stuff it is and i was like he's right you know this is like he's like just enjoy the moment so let's put down the phones and just all be present and enjoy what we're watching these magnificent children who have worked their hearts out beautiful and ends the Let's put down the phones and just all be present and enjoy what we're watching. These magnificent children who have worked their hearts out. Beautiful. And ends the speech. And I'm like, God damn it, brother.

Preach. Yeah, that's really good. I'm going to copy and paste that. So music starts. Boom. Phones are up. Oh, what? Everyone.

Really? No one listened to the emotional speech. It was like, got to film this. Did you put your phone up? No, not as high as the other people. Oh, right. So you didn like, got to film this. Did you put your phone up? No, not as high as the other people. Oh, you two. All right,

so you didn't even listen to him either. But it was good. What he was saying makes sense. He'd be like, oh, thanks guys, you know.

It's like when you go to a concert and all it is now is just a sea of phones. I know, but have you, you film something in a concert

and then I don't even watch it back myself. Of course you don't. It's distorted. The lights are blowing the camera out. No one's watching that footage back. No one ever. No.

And I feel like one person does it and then it becomes an obligation for everyone else in the crowd. You need to. I mean, people will post it, you know, but people flick through on your stories, Instagram stories, won't they? And then again, I'll show someone and go, oh, this was really cool. But very rarely, you're right, it just clogs up your phone. People are like, you're missing the moment. You're like, I'm not missing the moment. I'm just watching the moment through a tiny screen, okay?

I may as well be at home watching the moment. I'm filming so I can remember the moment forever. Yeah. But that's an important message, isn't it, when you enjoy something like that? Just appreciate it. Yeah. It obviously didn't resonate with the crowd there.

No, it didn't. It's the hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. I'm Michael Jackson. I was devoid when all that stuff went down, because it was at the time I just bought myself a Thriller t-shirt. Oh, you did get a t-shirt, didn't you? And the biggest thing was I couldn't wear the t-shirt, and it was one of my favourite. It's a nice cut,

you know, Megan, you would know. Yeah, yeah. You know when you find a nice t-shirt, and then Ben's like, you can't wear that. It was quite hot on the heels. It looks like you're making a real statement. Put my foot in one and it's kept. You're like, the time now.

Now I can pull it back out, dust it back off. Okay, I've still got it. I'll wear it tomorrow. Please don't. Would you walk around with me in public

with my Michael Jackson name? I don't think I would. Well, it kind of leads into what I'm about to say. Where are you not going to be seen again? And maybe you're not going to be seen next to Jono.

With his MJ top on. I had a problematic hat too. Remember that baseball hat? Oh, yeah. Oh, it's the Cleveland Indians. Oh, yeah, there's a few of us. I got pulled aside saying, guys, you can't wear that hat. And I just bought the hat.

Alice, our friend, she's like, that hat's cancelled, mate. It was $45. It's more on them than it is on you, right? You're supporting the team. Yeah. I like the hat. I like the, again, the shape of the hat, the cut of the hat. Forget all the history and problems.

Just like that. So, Andrew, that's 4487. I want to know today where you can't show your face again because a friend of mine got back from overseas. He went on a holiday. It was about six months ago, and they had a rental car, and this was a place in France, and they drove the rental car each day. They drove the rental car into this little, awesome little village.

Had these little cobblestones, you know, so old-fashioned, been around for ages. He said it was awesome. Driving every day, we'd check out the town, we'd get our food, get coffee, whatever. It was awesome. What he didn't realize when he came back home, he gets this letter from the rental car company that every time he'd driven into the town unless you're a resident you're not allowed to drive your car inside the town on the cobblestones he said we'd gone in two to three times a day at least and every time we'd gone in we had racked up a fight like basically a fine don't you love

this quaint town they have quaint but they also had cameras. State of the art quaint. Yeah. And so every time he got in, so he got this massive bill for two or three times a day, staying there for like seven to 10 days. He got this huge bill from the rental car company saying, you need to pay this. And then he looked online. He was like, oh, actually. And he did a bit of investigation. He was like, what if I don't pay this? What if I just don't pay this?

And basically, he's taking a gamble, but he's taking a gamble that he's never going to go back to that town again. If he does, he'll probably get a major fine. But he's just like... Does that cancel you out from the country as well? Well, I don't know. Once you've seen France, you've seen France. He's sitting there going, I think I've done it.

I think I've done it. I've been to the places I need to go. I'm not going to go back there. Talk to all of the arrogant French people I needed to speak to. Yeah. So he's taking a gamble that he's not going to go back there again just so he doesn't have to pay this massive fine. The rental car people, they've sent a couple of letters

and then it's kind of faded out. So he's like, maybe I'm in the clear. Maybe I'm in the clear. That is not a bad play. Because, I mean, you're right. Once you've seen that town, why does he need to go back? Maybe you're right. Maybe he doesn't need to go back to France.

Maybe he's just like, I've done that now. Also, the rental car company is probably going to have to front it, right? Eventually. Do they? Will they still have his credit details, though? His credit card? Yeah. I don't know why they can't just take it straight out of his credit.

I don't know. Oh, interesting. I'll wait for the hits. I'll wait for the hits. Where you can't show your face again. I'll tell you why there's a part of New Zealand. I was told, don't come back here again. Oh.

I was told. In a family restaurant. What were you wearing at the time? My Michael Jackson t-shirt and my Cleveland Indians hat. Fair enough. The Jono and Ben Podcast. Where can't you show your face? A friend of mine got a whole lot of parking

fines going overseas and decided now he won't go back to France again because he refuses to pay it so I'm like will that work out for them you're right though they might have his credit card

you'd think the rental car company would still have it on file maybe that once the deal's done they delete that from their files which might be an obligation no but there would be like small print

that says fine incurred while you're driving so I'll keep up to speed with that one I'll find out I went to I won't name the town, but it was sort of mid-North Island,

and I was there with the family. Taupo. Rotorua. I said I won't name the town. Is it close? It was Rotorua. Is that why you hate Hawke's Bay and their temperature? The name of the town is not important

Because I don't want to besmirch your town And we're in a family restaurant Now this bearing in mind Family's all around This is sort of 5.36 in the evening This guy comes up He's standing over me at the table Swaying

And you know like if you've been at that restaurant Or that pub for too long You enter a zombie like state And he's like you want to fight Do you? Yeah and I'm like Like if you've been at that restaurant or that pub for too long, you enter a zombie-like state. Yeah. And he's like, you want to fight? Do you? Yeah. And I'm like, bro, I'm here with my kids, wife, in-laws are there.

We're all there. Do you want to fight? But he's asking politely as if it's like an item off the menu. Oh, yeah. Would you like a fight? And I was like, no, if I've got an option, no. Fair enough, yeah. And then his friends came up and were like, hey, I'm sorry, and kind of apologized.

But he was like, you better not show your face around here again. I've got to don't show your face around here again. What have you done? Do you know what you've done? Nothing. Oh, wow, who knows? Did he get you mistaken as someone else, or had he seen your TV show? Don't embarrass this town.

Well, that could have been it. I'm seeing what you just saw. Yeah, I'm not allowed to show my face there again. And I was probably fine. We leave tomorrow anyway, so I'll be out of your hair by tomorrow. It's all fine. But we're polite when they are asking you for biffo

in that part of New Zealand too, and that's the main thing. The option was available. Oh, good. Alex, morning to you. How's it going? Yeah, really well, thank you. Can't show your face where?

Or you're never going back where? Switzerland. Oh, why can't you go back? The whole country. Yeah. Yeah, so my husband and I were just finishing up our honeymoon. We were flying out of Zurich and dropped in a rental car off, and my husband was like, did that light just flash at us at the traffic light?

So we kind of ran a red light. Anyway, we got home to New Zealand and then got this letter in the mail from the Swiss police saying we had to pay a fine. And then we got a second one saying we've got to pay double the fine. It was like 500 Swiss francs. We're like, maybe not, thanks. And then we got a third one that said we needed to go to jail for three days. But we couldn't understand it because it was in Swiss German, I guess, and we had to get our Austrian workmate to translate it for us.

We thought, oh, well, three days in prison is probably actually quite nice. Well, they're very neutral over there, aren't they? So they're probably not too phased about you paying the fine or not. No, that's right. You haven't paid it? No, we haven't. So if you go back to Switzerland,

you'll probably end up in jail, but for the meantime, you're okay. That's it. That's it. It's about $950, by the way. I wonder if we could do a thing with Alex.

We, as a show, go to Switzerland and see what happens when she arrives there. What, bring her over there? I'm down for it. Yeah. And then we do...

I reckon the first prison is probably pretty sweet. Yeah. And then we do I reckon the Swiss prison is probably pretty sweet. Yeah. You are aware of the show budget currently? Three days in a

Swiss prison. Shona, Ben, Megan we're live in the Swiss prison eating Tobaroni at the time of our life. I'm down for it but yeah Alex is

down for it but I don't feel like you're right Megan the budget's here. Well why does it survive till 25? Maybe next year once the cost of living crisis is over, we'll take you to Switzerland to pay that fine and do your three days hard time in the prison.

Okay, Alex? All right, I'll hold you to that. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. Just tell you what, I had a bit of an incident just quickly before you get to this Matthew Perry stuff over the weekend. You know when you eat some garlic bread and you're like, boy, oh boy, that is really garlicky.

You can feel the garlic intensity levels. You're like, damn, this one's going to sit with me in my mouth for a long time. And then not long after the consumption of the garlic bread, you try chewing gum, you try all the, you know, but it's still there. And then I ended up in a conversation with someone in close proximity. And you just become so self-conscious. You end up not even opening your lips. You're not very friendly because you're trying not to talk and puff on them.

It's like a front foot. You've got to look off just eating garlic and oats. I should have. In hindsight, I should have. Yeah, I'm becoming really self-conscious about it. But yeah, I think this person walked away. He's like, why don't you come on? And just, mm, mm. A ventriloquist. Disagreeing about it. But yeah, I think this person walked away, he's like, why don't you call me? And just, mm, mm.

A ventriloquist. Disagreeing with stuff, but yeah. Now, Matthew Perry. Very sad death of Matthew Perry, wasn't it? Yeah, and a whole lot of people being investigated for the death. And, you know, like there's stories coming out there you read about his, allegedly his assistant

was injecting him with the drug ketamine and stuff like that. And then you're kind of like, oh, maybe that was her job in some ways, getting forced to do it. But it seems like there was a whole lot more potentially going on. So, yeah, there's five people that have been charged. This has just happened this week. Two of them are doctors. One is the personal assistant.

And then there is the ketamine queen, who is quite well known for supplying ketamine to very famous people, to the point where she has been to the Golden Globes and the Oscars. I was going to say shocking circumstances, but great name. Who are you, the Ketamine Queen, for her line of work? Yeah, yeah. You know, good branding. They raided her house, they found a whole lot of drugs, they found some guns and stuff.

So she's been arrested. All of these people could face up to 10 years. And the charge is conspiracy to distribute ketamine as well as just being a drug dealer in general. So is it used for depression, ketamine? It's used for like when you like to dissociate from pain Right, numbing yourself Kind of, like what do you call it an anti

what is the word? Oh like anesthesia What are we talking about here? So Ben you've been using it for anesthetic this whole time You've been in a lot of pain He's injected I reckon 20 times over four days Wow

Before his death Before his death But he's also a personal assistant So these two doctors showed him how to inject him He shouldn't be doing that, first of all It's supposed to only be administered by a doctor And then you're supposed to be under watch Not go and have a spa

Yeah, obviously some dodgy things are going on And I was like, well maybe the assistant has been sort of like, oh, good, I need to do this as part of their job. But it sounds like there was some text sitting around about how much this moron's going to be paying for this and stuff like that. Yeah, that kind of thing. From the assistant calling him a moron.

Yeah, and so they were using his addiction as a way to profit off him. If it is the case, and obviously there's a court case to go on, it's really, really sad. Just using the poor fella. And obviously knew his demons. Strugg doctors there's a duty of care there not to mention your live and personal assistant then you say when you watch that friend's reunion and it was awesome to see him there and all the other you know the characters back together again but he just didn't quite seem you know he was the the fun you know often the funniest on the show you know so you know it just seemed like he wasn't,

something wasn't quite right. And he had had his demons, so it's really, really sad. It is sad. And then you're saying that Ketamine Queen lady's going to, she's going to do a plea deal where she's going to bloody, going to rat out Hollywood. Oh, really? Yeah.

Oh, Hollywood. There were talks, yeah, if she does the plea deal, we would find out a whole bunch of A-listers who are her clients, which I'm sure has a lot of people. Quaking in their boots, mate. Quaking, deal, we would find out a whole bunch of A-listers who are her clients, which I'm sure has a lot of people. Quaking in their boots, mate. You know that spreadsheet getting out. No, that's for sure. Who was that?

Someone said they were in a WhatsApp group or their friend was in a WhatsApp group. Overseas, yeah. Overseas. And it was a nefarious dealer. Yeah, well, he must have started a group. He started a chat group. And so the dealer went, hey, just so you know, guys, I'm away on a bit of annual leave. You know, they need some R&R.

They're working all hours of the night. Yeah. But then in doing so. Said it to everyone. Like started a group to everyone. And everyone was like, oh, God, we're all in this group together. Everyone's names. Yeah.

So if you want anything before I go away, let me know. And then everyone was like, such and such has left the group. Such and such has left the group. So it was actually everyone one by one. We were all like, well, we're all in this together now. Dropping their names off the group. Such and such has left the group. Such as left the group. It was actually one by one. We were like, well, we're all in this together now. Dropping their names off the group. Such as left the group. The hits.

The Jono and Ben podcast. Good win to the All Blacks over the weekend, as we mentioned earlier. How was it on the field afterwards? Just the Instagram video from Jason Momoa, actor. He pans around. He's hanging out with Stephen Adams, the basketballer. Cliff Curtis, the actor. Joseph Parker, the boxer. Then Scott Robinson, the actor, Joseph Parker, the boxer,

then Scott Robinson, the coach of the All Blacks is there. Just a star-studded line-up. I felt like New Zealand was going to combust with all those stars. With too much famousness. I can imagine that would be a little sandwich you'd like to be stuck in the middle of there. That's why he's mentioning it. A skinny white piece of luncheon in that beautiful sandwich.

Absolutely. Absolutely wouldn't you want to be part of that? But it's a great win for the All Blacks too. Smashing the Argentinians. Now, Megan, we had All Blacks in the studio on Friday. We had Geordie Barrett and Dalton Papali'i who came in and we gave them a little challenge. Geordie was kicking rugby ball over the very expensive radio equipment to you. And you had to catch it.

And this is how it went down. And Ben had the idea of, I don't know the legalities of this, but putting Sky Sport commentary over the actual kick. On the stroke at halftime, Morty Barrett. And away it goes. Distance is not an issue.

There you go, and you caught the ball. I did, I caught the ball. You did great. Then you had photos with the All Blacks and you were like high-fiving and you did a social post, didn't you? Yeah, on Saturday I put up, I was like, good luck tonight, boys. Put up the picture of me with Geordie and Dalton and then...

Good luck to the lads. Did you watch the rugby? I forgot. You forgot? I forgot that the game was on and instead... In a matter of hours after your social post, you forgot, okay. Put the kids to bed and we ended up watching a documentary on North Korea. Oh, did you?

On Saturday night? Instead of the rugby that you literally just posted about. We saw a little teaser on the streaming. I can't remember what it was on and we were like, shall we watch this? It does sound interesting. I'd be into that. What was it? What secrets did you find out about North Korea?

Nothing that we don't already know. And also the journalists, when you go over there, they like very much given the propaganda, you know, pill. Yeah, because I wondered, because recently I just saw that North Korea opening up for tourists again. They haven't done it since COVID days. They haven't.

So I'm always kind of fascinated by it. North Korea tourism being hit hard by COVID, was it? I think they decided they didn't want anyone in, you know, because of COVID. Yeah. So now they're like, hey, come back. But you don't know what sort of North Korea you'll see, right? Yeah, exactly.

But like that wasn't it. I've been holding on to like this microwave popcorn. It was a big night in our house. We were like, North Korea doco. We're going to finally crack that popcorn. Do you know microwave popcorn goes off? I didn't realise it had an expiry date. Are you talking about the flat pack stuff that you put in the microwave?

Yeah. We put it in the microwave and it smelt rancid. And then we tried to eat it and it was so nasty. We checked the expiry. It was exactly a year past its expiry date. I suppose butter. But it also like, yeah, and it leaves a weird coating in your mouth. So, yeah, that was my Saturday night.

A weird plastic coating. I saw a thing on North Korea. It came up on my social media. It might have been from that movie. And the journalist went into this office. And they had everyone on computers. They were all typing. But they weren't, like, it was just stuck on a home screen.

Yeah, because they get people to act in these. They're like, look at this prolific office. They went to a hospital. And there was a woman in there who looked fine. Had makeup on. She was sitting up in the bed. And they were like, how long are you in here for? And she's like, I'm not sure.

Maybe a week. Sounds like a Sim she's like, I'm not sure. Maybe a week. Sounds like a Simpsons episode. I'm not sure. If I say anything wrong, I'll be shot. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Good one for the All Blacks

in some pretty rough conditions over the weekend against Argentina. And how was that? Did you guys see that video at the end of the game? Jason Momoa down on the field, the actor,

and then he sort of pans around to all his mates who's hanging out with Cliff Curtis, the actor, Joseph Parker, the boxer, Stephen Adams, the basketballer, Scott Robinson, the All Black coach. It was pretty star-studded for New Zealand, wasn't it? It was Ben Boyce, the broadcaster. Definitely wasn't getting anywhere near that, that's for sure. It was pretty impressive.

Did you watch rugby? No, I didn't. You had All Blacks in here on Friday. You had Geordie Barrett kicking a ball at you over our extensive radio. You even put it on your social media. Good luck tonight, boys. I forgot. And then I'm not even going to tell you what I'll tell you later what I was doing instead.

It's really embarrassing. Is it a prime time? Yeah. Is it embarrassing for a cute couple like you and Anne? No, it's just embarrassing as a human being. Oh, okay. That's what I think the lowest thing a human being could be doing on a Saturday night. I doubt after 7 o'clock.

Because I've probably done it all. The weather, as I said, was shocking for the rugby and shocking right around the country, particularly around the Canterbury region. Snow, the people trapped in cars. They couldn't get through around Arthur's Pass. But you had a wild stat from the weekend. Now, get this. Now, I thought there was shocking weather everywhere,

all over the country. Not for Hawke's Bay. Yesterday, they recorded a temperature of 24.6 degrees, which is a typical temperature for February, not for August. We're still in winter. So Hawke's Bay, 24 degrees in Hawke's Bay yesterday. Yeah. Meanwhile, Canterbury reached a high of 2.5 yesterday.

That's wild, eh? They just think, I thought he was like an hour and a half's flight away. How did that happen? Yeah. Yeah, I can't get my head around that because I thought it was shocking weather everywhere. But Hawke's Bay, for some reason, 24 degrees, that's balmy. That is, yeah.

That's a really... One extreme to another in a very small country. That's a winter Hawke's Bay. Pull your head in. I cannot get my head around that. This is what we want to chuck open. 0800 The Hits. I know it's Monday morning.

We're shooting for the stars here, baby. You call us up and we'll try and find the coldest temperature in New Zealand. Are you currently sitting in it? Are you trapped in your car? Yeah. Stuck in the snow. The Hits. The Jono and Ben podcast.

It's cold around the country in the middle of a polar blast which looks set to continue again today, so look out wherever you are. Obviously no one wanted to participate in Jono's fun, how cold is it where you are game? Literally no one no one called. I know it's 6.14 on a Monday morning, but

you'd think at least one person would hear the desperation in my voice one, not even one. No one wants the hell pizza. You even bribed them. I did. He did. A nice hot hell pizza, cold morning.

How bleak am I? Now, Cody. Good old Cody. Cody has saved our ass so many times in the six o'clock hour. Cody, we owe you our life. It's currently six degrees and I'm heading across Transmission Galley. I can't win anything because I've been blacklisted, but I thought I'd call up and just at least give you one.

Who's blacklisting you? I'm going to un-blacklist you, Cody. Whatever the opposite of his blacklist is, you are it now. We need Cody. Who's blacklisting Cody? We need you, mate. Who's going to blacklist our only listener in the 6 o'clock hour? That's right.ing Cody? We need you, mate. He's not blacklisted. Our only listener in the 6 o'clock hour.

That's right. Controversial call from upper management. Cody, six degrees in Transmission Gully. So that's near Wellington. Yeah, not far out of Wellington. All right. Well, you hold there. A lovely stretch of road, the new Transmission Gully.

We've been down there, haven't we? Yeah. Your dad was a big fan of it. Kevin Boyce, wasn't he? He was. He was like, look, it's the new road. And you're like, well, good. But, you know. We froth a new road here in New Zealand, don't we? Yeah, your dad was a big fan of it, Kevin Boyce, wasn't he? He was. He was like, look, it's the new road. And you're like, well, good. But, you know.

We froth a new road here in New Zealand, don't we? Yeah. A new tunnel. Oh, a new tunnel. We love a new tunnel. I guess if you live around there as well, you know, the time it saves you.

You're like, oh, I'm waiting for this. Yeah. It's a big deal. We're going to go to Nikki Kaipoi. Welcome. Now you're calling. Welcome. Lovely to have you on, Nikki.

Good morning. I could hear the desperation going. I just want to let you down. She's always the most desperate radio Welcome. Lovely to have you on, Nikki. Good morning. I could hear the desperation, guys. I just want to let you down. That was the most desperate radio show, that's what we like to say. That's right. You can count this as your charity work. I think you can claim the tax back on this donation, Nikki. Beautiful.

We need a warm pizza because it is freezing. We had snow yesterday here in Kaipoi. Oh, okay. How cold is it now? Can you check your phone? So it's one degree now in Klaifoi. Oh! So it is cold.

Hang on, it might have, yep, one degree still, one degree. I was going to say, depending on which website, it's one to two degrees. So it is very cold, and we got to play in the snow yesterday. I was going to say, when does the novelty wear off for the snow? Because I imagine the first little bit would be like, oh, that's great, playing in the snow. Then how soon does it kind of go, oh, I've had enough of that? Yeah, when your kids start falling in it and it's freezing cold and they're hungry and it's getting dark and it's time to go.

Snow looks so fun on TV, doesn't it, in the movies. But yeah, the reality of snow, you're right. Hey, Nikki, we'll get you out of your hot hell pizza. Should we take one more? Alice, thank you for calling. Hello, hello, guys'll get you out of your hot hell pizza. Should we take one more? Alice, thank you for calling. Hello, hello, guys. How are you? We're doing well.

One degree. That's the target to beat. I can't beat it, but I felt sorry for you guys because you just found me so lonely. That's great. Maybe there should be a thing, just desperation. Oh, come on. No one will call.

They won't. No. I just want to put them out of their misery. These people in the morning they're just battling away yeah that's what you want all right so how cold is it where you are they can't beat one degrees i'm in auckland it's 13 degrees that doesn't matter what matters is you're cooled up and you filled up some radio time alice that's the main thing yeah Yeah, great day, guys. You have a wonderful day in the City of Sales, all right? Awesome, cheers.

The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Now, the internet is full of outrage, and something we like to do on a Monday is we each find an article online about outrage that's been caused from something, and we all get to guess on why we think there was outrage. Do you think if people put as much energy into productive stuff, creating world peace as they

do typing hateful comments on internet sections, that the world would be a better place? Yeah, maybe. Yeah, I think so. Everyone can be a professional critic on the internet. It's one of the joys, isn't it? What's the worst thing you've written on the internet? Have you ever written anything you're like,

oh, jeez, I actually regret writing that? I don't think so. No. I've put a lot of skits up to the internet that I regret putting up there. I've deleted a few comments that have been hurtful on my own page. I'll add those, but yeah.

Does it say that? I don't know. Sometimes. If someone's put their heart and soul into a hateful comment and then you go back and you're like, they've hidden it. No, yeah, that's the worst is when you delete a comment and they come back and they're like, why did you delete my comment? Because I'm fearful.

Because you're mean to me. To my soul. It's my page. My heart hurts. So this is Internet Outrage. Each of us find a headline that has caused outrage on the internet and then we need to decipher why exactly the internet would be outraged. Megan, you want to kick things off?

Okay, someone left a polite note and the internet is outraged. Okay, this is a scenario that has actually happened to a friend of mine. I think that there's been a ding to a car. Someone wrote a note, put it under the windscreen. The people around assume that it's them passing on their details for the motorist, but then the note just said, sorry, hit your car. Have a nice day. Was that it?

No, it's not. What is it? This was an attempt at a polite notice. So if this was left on your windscreen, what would you think? So someone had parked outside their house. What is car related? It is car related. It says, would you kindly refrain from someone had parked outside their house. Well, it is car related. It is car related. It says, would you kindly refrain from parking your vehicle outside my house for days on end?

A few hours a day is acceptable. Although you are, of course, legally within your rights to park outside my home, please have some consideration and park on the other side of the road when the space is available. Thank you. Bit of passive aggressiveness there. Well, that's, yeah, the internet internet's like That's just passive aggressive Yeah And very entitled You

Although you do get Overly defensive about The people who are Parking outside your house I don't know why I know Because it's like It's not your property

And when someone pulls Into your driveway But they're just in there To do a three point turn You know they're pulling Into turn around Like who's that Who's that in the driveway

Get out What are you It's my driveway Okay Ben what's your Outrage Well you've seen this movie I haven't yet seen it It looks really good The movie Twister The new version of Twister Who's that in the driveway? Get out. What are you? It's my driveway. Okay, Ben, what's your outrage? Well, you've seen this movie. I haven't seen it. It looks really good.

The movie Twister, the new version of Twister. Now, there's outrage caused from the movie about the main two characters in this movie. Now, I haven't seen it, Megan. Glenn Powell and Daisy Edgar Jones. Main two characters in the movie and it's causing outrage. They're too hot to be storm chasers. They're both very hot. Yeah, are they too attractive? They're not. No, I don'ters. They're both very hot. Yeah, are they too attractive?

They're not. No, I don't know. They're getting some jargon wrong. They never kiss. They never kiss. Their love interest in the movie. No, I like that. People are like, hey, these two hot people need to kiss.

I paid $37 or whatever to go to the movie. There was one thing I liked about that movie. Some people were outraged. The two hot people. Apparently there was a kissing scene liked about that movie some people were outraged the two hot people apparently there was a kissing scene but they cut it out

edited it out the director was like I didn't need to be there didn't propel the story forward because I like it because she saves the day like she's not you know

he's not coming in no she saves the day and there's like a little bit of love interest there but it's not like a woman saving the day it's not like he rode in on his white horse and pashed her up and was like,

I was saving everyone, you know? Okay, well, it's calling it outrage. And finally, we got teased about a kangaroo in prison. There's a bit of riffraff or a bit of outrage over a prison kangaroo in the Czech Republic. Why? Why would the internet be outraged? Well, because, firstly, because there's a kangaroo in prison? I mean, that's a fair enough question.

That's causing me outrage. Is it a real-life kangaroo? A real-life kangaroo. What is it doing in the Chico Pup? Well, they have animals in the prison, so the inmates can care for them. Yeah, I get dogs and stuff. Yeah, well, they've got a prison kangaroo. And I tell you, out of all the animals in the kingdom to be in prison,

that could handle itself in prison, a kangaroo. So why is it causing outrage then? Because it escaped from prison. And the problem is kangaroos can also bound quite high. Yeah, true. Bounded across the fence. Now it's on the run. Oh, so it's gone.

Yeah, it's prison break kangaroo. Oh, I didn't like it in there. Fair enough. Wow, so kangaroo escaped and it's gone. You should have befriended the kangaroo and been like, can I have a ride? Can we hop over and I'll ride? They've got rabbits, roosters, llamas.

They've got them all there in the prison program, which allows them to develop farming skills. Okay. But go kangaroos. Spread your wings. Spread your wings. Hey, next.
