The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Thanks to Challenge, putting the service back into service stations. Heading into the weekend of course, which is a great feeling. That's something I noticed yesterday, or actually sorry, a couple of days ago, was great Kiwi innovation. Every now and again we're very innovative New Zealanders and I was getting my hair did, you know, getting my bleach done. Why did you redo the bleach? Yeah, I redid the bleach, yeah, thought I'd give it another go. Oh another top up yeah he didn't even notice i noticed didn't i the next day it's not my thing you know it's not his thing yeah but the lady it's not on me i'm not gonna pay attention to it the lady in the uh the hairdresser she'd she'd done her hair she wasn't doing my hair

but she'd done her hair looks quite short and pink it was really cool and she had all these red hearts all over here like heaps of like the patterns of hearts. I was like, that's really cool. How did you do that? And she said, well, to be honest with you, I did the hearts. I did it all myself, but I saw an empty toilet roll, and I just sort of made it into a shape of a heart, dipped it in the red dye, and just made red hearts all over here.

And it looked awesome. Oh, wow. And it stayed. It stayed, yeah. Like it was a permanent thing. I was like wow that's innovation to look at look at the empty toilet roll holder and then go i'm gonna make some hearts on the air usually i look at it and go how can i avoid putting that in the rubbish bin yeah

well exactly you know you just fight down those last couple of squares of paper i'm like can i wipe with this and still not have to change the roll. Well, I'll tell you where they do use toilet paper, prison. Yeah, well, innovation. There's a, well, it's probably innovation. It's a better segue. They also do use toilet paper in prison. Well, I guess so. I guess that's part of it.

But yeah, there was a show that we've been talking about quite a lot. It's on Netflix at the moment. It's one of the top shows. Unlocked? Yeah, Unlocked in America where they do an do an experiment an innovative experiment where they use toilet paper yeah but they also unlock the prison doors and let the prisoners well have a bit more freedom that's yeah it's quite so all the guards are outside the prison they leave yeah they don't get to wander away from the prison either they're still watching yeah um but they're not inside so they unlock

the doors so, the idea is they kind of have to create their own community and work together. And if they screw it up, then it's back to locking the doors for 23 hours a

day and then they get one hour out. Here's a wee taste of it. Jails in America are violent and understaffed, which means inmates are locked down for up to 23 hours a day.

That's why this sheriff is willing to risk it all on a new radical idea. No locks and no officers. And let y'all be a community. Detainees will have six weeks to prove that they can act more like people and not criminals. It could end helping somebody to be free and stay free. There you go. A lovely idea of the concept because the prison system's been the same for hundreds of years. Lock them up, throw away the key.

Taking a different tact might get different results. I did love because they profile all the prisoners, and they're talking to this guy, and he's like, I stabbed my first fool when I was 15, and I've been stabbing fools ever since. Yeah. So they're letting him out. Yeah.

He's wandering around. But it's interesting. Yeah. Like I say, they don't get to leave the prison or anything, but it's a really interesting social experiment, because there's obviously a lot of them that really want it to work, because they'd rather not be stuck in their cells for 23 hours a day and the sheriff seems like a genuine guy and then you can tell when he's pitching it to the board there's a few a few of them aren't entirely sold on the concept yeah he's kind of put his yeah like his

things things on the line reputation you can tell when some stuff goes wrong He's like, guys Come on, meet me halfway This is your chance My job's on the line here The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast There's a man in Pennsylvania

Who's got an emotional support animal A very unusual animal For his emotional support And he actually very unusual animal for his emotional support. And he actually credits the animal for helping him get out of depression. He's an elderly guy and he's got an alligator. So he's got an emotional support alligator. He hugs it.

He sort of pets it. You know, they get on really well. He travels with it on vacation. He tried to take it to a baseball game last year and can't bring it into a baseball game. Your emotions just run free in here. So it's kind of like him and the alligator.

It looks really cute like a teddy bear, but he's gone for a holiday in Georgia, off the coast of Georgia and the alligator's gone missing. So that's probably not a great thing, is it, really?

Is that bad for the community? Yeah, well, potentially. Like, wow, there's an alligator on the loose. What he thinks happens is someone saw the alligator and thought it was, didn't realize it was an emotional support thing because it's outside in this area and they've released it into the wild.

That's what he thinks. But either way, it's not great for the community. For the community's emotions. No. Maybe they need support. How big is this alligator? Well, it's, you know, it's, you see a photo here. It's sizable?

It's, you know. Oh, okay. Yeah. It is. Yeah. And it's given them a, it's sizable. It's, you know. Oh, okay. Yeah. It is. And it's given him a big cuddle. And they seem to get on really well in some of the videos I was watching. But yeah, a little unusual. That's how the story goes until he's like, my emotional support animal

bit my arm off. Yeah, you hear people like, oh, I had a pet tiger. And then it just decided to attack me one day. Yeah, well, because it's a tiger. You know, it's a risk living with an animal like that What's the most dangerous animal you could live with? An alligator A bear

Yeah I could go bear You could actually live with it Yeah but you never know Okay you raise it from cub status The bear loves you And then one day Yeah I suppose you could do a bear. I know, but there's always that chance.

And it's having a bad day. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I'd be very scared. I'd just go with something like a meerkat or something. Is that the most dangerous animal? I feel like that could ravage you too.

I probably could actually. All right. Meerkat. Like a butterfly or something. How's that? That's dangerous. That's dangerous enough for me. Emotional support butterfly.

That's what I'd like this morning. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. There's a really interesting social experiment that I saw on Instagram last night. Zoe Marshall, who's Benji Marshall's wife. They were over here in New Zealand for a while. She was a broadcaster. She put something out there.

It's like you can only pick two of these. You can only pick two of these options For your life Okay Now these are the options There's six of them Rich Loved

Sexy Famous Healthy Or happy You can only pick two of them It says a lot about a person You want to be happy You want to be healthy

You want to be famous You want to be sexy You want to be loved Or you want to be rich So You can only have two Can't have the others How healthy Because you can to be famous, you want to be sexy, you want to be loved, or you want to be rich? Can I have two? Can't have the others. Healthy, because you can't enjoy anything if you're not healthy, I think.

Healthy and... That's fine. I want to publicly say loved, but privately I'd say rich. Yeah, yeah, I feel like... Because I back myself, I'd be healthy and rich because I back myself to find love, you know? Like, I reckon I could do that on my own. Is that it? Am I allowed to do that?

Oh, you can do it. Yeah, can you find the other categories on your own? That's not my game, so I don't know. Because I think healthy and rich are probably the hard ones to get. Yeah. Rich would be a nice option, wouldn't it? It would be nice, even though it does feel like a, you know- What about rich and loved?

But like, you're unhealthy. rich and loved but like you're unhealthy but you can buy some stuff to make you feel better yeah but you might die but you're yeah rich and loved yeah it's an interesting one because you know i guess the things that you people want to hear are like loved and healthy you know which is nice what's the right answer right i don't think there is a right answer oh you're just checking out i think it just says a lot about a person. What's yours? Oh, yeah. I think Rich.

I think I'd look at Rich. Really? I think I'd look at Rich. I'm going to pick you for that. Because Rich would help you, you know, help others as well. Yeah. So, you know, as well. That's the one you went for first.

Yeah, well, happy and rich. Love can wait. Yeah, we can buy love with money. I'm just happy. We're not loved. I'm like, oh, it doesn't matter. buy love with money I'm just happy you're not loved I'm happy I'm happy and I'm not

I'm very unhealthy though guys but I'm happy you're not rich and miserable rich and happy oh my gosh I just feel very

selfish oh you know no you picked that great option great option the hits the Jono and Ben podcast I was reading an article

about well we well a lot of us end up with the same face with all the cosmetic surgery and everything else on the rise. Everyone wanting to get similar features. Isn't that kind of sad, though, that everyone wants to just look the same way? I guess in a lot of ways, yeah. Okay, if we could zhoosh out one part of each of our bodies, we get to pick each.

As soon as you start even opening your mouth to talk about your weekend on Monday, our brains are like, I can't digest information. So we're excited about it now.

This weekend, Grace, what's happening? I'm going axolotl hunting in Mexico. What? In Mexico? Yep. Wow, we've set the bar high. Hang on. This weekend you're heading to Mexico?

Yeah, I was like As much as I'd love to see her perform I feel like nine is probably a bit much What's her role in School of Roll? So if you've seen the movie Jack Black, obviously he's the lead singer of the band. They put together a band at school. She's one of the backup singers in the school classroom. Oh, you're the three ones.

Yeah, and it was a class of kids all playing instruments live apparently as well. Ah, cool. Who's Jack Black? He's a kid from another high school actually. So there's a few other high schools they've got together as well. Oh, that's nice. Not just some sort of guy, some actor who's having to hang out with kids. No, no, no.

He's a high school student. Megan, most exciting thing you're doing this weekend? We're trying out a new playground. Like you just go from playground to playground. With the kids or without the kids? Oh, yeah, leave the kids at home. But it is fun when you get it

oh it's like oh this is a new playground what's at this playground that you want to check out there's like a little electronic I think it's solar powered

and you can push buttons it's like a little computer game on the side of the playground jeez playgrounds have really levelled up yeah have you been down

a slide recently yep I only did it once and it wobbled and stuff. And my husband was like, maybe don't do that again. So they're not very... No, they're plastic. And when you get stuck, it's quite a bit.

You're like, oh, come on. You think you're going to fly down it like you did when you were a kid, but you kind of go down comically slow and you're like, I'm not going to do that again. Yeah. Yeah. Back in the day, very slippery surface, wasn't it? Let's get Evelyn on the phone.

We're doing the best weekend, Evelyn. Welcome. Hi. Talk to us, Evelyn. In the middle of prepping for the day, what's happening this weekend? I'm going to a singles club reunion for 20 years. It was in the late

90s, the early 2000s that I went quite a few times and met all kinds of different people. And it's going to be a golf club and a singles club that was called the Phoenix Club. And yeah, it was a pretty crazy time. Oh, crazy.

Are you talking about a nightclub? Yeah, on Friday night. A reunion from a 20-year nightclub. Wow. Party like it was 20 years ago? Is that the plan? That's the plan, but it's a little bit funny because it's starting at 6.30 and it's ending at 10.30.

That's not how we used to party. That wasn't our 2004 partying hours. Oh, well, that's awesome. Will you enjoy that this weekend? We're going to send you out some hell pizza. Have a fun time. Oh, that's so kind. Thank you.

Bea, we'll go to Wellington. What's happening for you? Hi. I'm booking. I booked a tattoo for me and my sister for her 21st. Oh, tattoos.

Is it matching tattoos? Yeah, so we're both getting, I'm surprising her for her 21st, we're both getting a T.Y. teddy bear that my dad gave us about like 10 years ago. Oh, that's great. They're the little toys, they've got the big eyes, beautiful eyes, right? Yeah, so I'm getting like the clover one, and then she's getting the one with flowers on it.

Probably Max's first time in that tattoo artist's career where they've been asked to do a TY teddy bear as well. That's cute. It's got a cool meaning behind it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It'll be really cool. Whereabouts are you getting it? Face? Nick? I'm getting it on my left arm and she's getting it on her right so it will be like back to back. Oh, that's lovely. And a sensible location as well.

Far more sensible than that. I'm going to send you out some helpings. All the best getting your tattoos. Awesome. Thank you. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. I think I just said someone's got to do something. Oh, here we go. Coming on back in.

Jono and Megan have gone for a little daily bitch about me out of the studio. They've just come back on in. Good bitch today, too. We were bitching hard. I was like, they're really leaving it down to the wire to come back into the studio. Did the mic just turn on? Just. I was just about to chat to producer Tyler, you know.

The new show. That's you guys are going to get replaced. We went to buy coffees and then had a very funny moment where you do that arguing over who's going to pay. But we really both committed to it. And then so both then threw our phones at the tap and go. It was accepted, but we don't know whose phone. So you can say thank you to both of us.

Yeah. We'll take the credit. Hey, listen, I'm in a bit of a stressful situation at the moment. Not just trying to pay for stuff. But a few weeks ago, Pack and Save had a huge, huge special on cheeses. Right. Okay. Must have been cheese week or something.

And so I'm very, I had just gone to Pack and Save. I was simply there on a bread, milk reconnaissance mission. Okay. Then I get way, you always get distracted by the specials that are on offer.

Came home with a very, a huge chunk of cheese. And I came home holding it like a newborn baby. I was like, look at this cheese I've got. Then, I forgot about the cheese. Put it in the fridge. And then we just discovered yesterday the cheese has only got 24 hours to live. So, boy, we are cheesing hard.

What kind of cheese is it? It's a brie. Oh, yeah. What a massive wheel of brie Yeah But it was very cheap It was like Sort of

Twelve, thirteen dollars And I guess Because it was Running out of time So pack and save We're getting rid of it And so everything Now what are you having

Wheat bricks Cheese on it kids Chocolate cake When you bought it though What was your intention? You were like To eat it I know but like

What did you need A huge thing of brie for? Did it No no You know Consumed I got consumed hard To eat it. I know, but like, what did you need a huge thing of bread for? I did it. No, no, I did it. You know, consumed. I got consumed hard. I get confused with cheeses, though, because it's like, yes, they expire, but then people are like, oh, you're going to eat this one when it's like blue cheese

and when it's meant to be kind of mouldy and fermented. You know, like it kind of go all... I don't think cheese has a best before. Yeah, like you might be fine. You're right. Well, I was putting Poppy Poppy to Poppy, my daughter, the youngest, to bed last night. She said, why are you stressing out about this cheese all the time?

Isn't it just expired milk? It's already expired. And that one's covered in, like, what looks like mould. You're like, shut up, Poppy, and eat some cheese. Put some cheese in your bedtime cheese. If you're awake, you can have some cheese before bed, all right? If you're breathing, cheese time. some cheese before bed, all right? If you're breathing, cheese time. All right, well, there you go.

There's three minutes of three white people talking about cheese. That's what you wanted. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Back after school holidays and your first week back with the kids without phones in schools. They got to the end of that, so well done. How's it going? How's it going for Sienna? Because I know we had her on on Monday

with the Prime Minister debating it, trying to get him to backtrack on the decision. Yeah. Well, she was on, you're right, she was on the radio. Actually, she said yesterday

because at social studies, she wrote the letter to Luxon that she never sent. But her teacher had seen her on social media, the fact that we put the video out there. So they watched her interview in social media class,

social studies, sorry, social studies class studies class and then analyzed her debate points she would have loved every part of that she said it was all right there's no like though good point good point they were good points yeah and the best thing for us another view on the social video that's good it was a whole lot of every one of those people in that class could have clicked on like and subscribe kids like and subscribe but something that i didn't like actually the kids were doing uh actually last night they were sitting not far from me the two of them uh my two daughters and staring at me quite close and sort of mumbling to each other and it wasn't like a hero sort of stare oh he looks great he's a he's he's my he's my hero sort of moment they were just sort of talking amongst themselves like what's

going on and they were analyzing my facial features and then trying to work out which one of my facial features that that got the eyebrows the thing on the nose that you know and nothing makes you feel more sub self-conscious than people analyzing you up close well there wasn't even a crack at your big forehead yeah well i think i've got his forehead forward felt like one of the characters on guess who you know you're looking at their facial features and you're trying to analyse them. It was very off-putting. What did they point out specifically?

Forehead was always one that sort of comes back into it. Did neither of them want your forehead? Yeah, eyebrows. Eye colour's different. They both ended up with brown eyes, even though my wife or myself don't have brown in our eye colour. So, yeah. Yeah, Poppy.

I know a lot of people are in skincare at the moment, aren't they? A lot of that generation. Skincare. She's staring at my nose. She's like, man, you have a lot of blackheads. She's like, what's your skincare regime? I was like, not much, man. There's not much that can save the skincare.

It is interesting what kids, you know, you see it with babies all the time. Sometimes they really do look like one of their parents when they're born. And often you don't see that when you're one of the parents, but you look in. Yeah, everyone thinks both my kids look like me, but I don't see it at all. I think that's a perfect blend of both of you. The photos, the images I've seen, and that's what you want to aim for. A 50-50 split of the DNA, don't you? I just wanted them to look more like their dad.

There's, you know, better genes there. Do you remember that? It was a very random prank that we did. Now, Sharon at The Edge, we used to work with Sharon at The Edge. She had her baby, and Guy Williams, who was also working at The Edge, hadn't seen her new baby for about a year. I don't think he'd ever seen her. He'd never met her. He kept texting her going, I must come around and meet your baby. So about a year. I don't think he'd ever seen her. He'd never met her.

And he kept texting her going, I must come around and meet your baby. So he was coming in for an interview. So we're like, well, let's get a random baby from the office. Like, let's get someone to bring in the random baby and just say it was Tyson. I don't know why we decided.

And then so Sharon was holding this random baby. I think it might've been Samoan or Tongan. And a guy came in for the interview. And we're like'm like guy this is tyson this is sharon's baby and he's like oh what a cute baby he was holding the baby cuddling the baby had a photo with the baby of course you're gonna say that like at no point is guy gonna call out like this is not this is not you know and then we went guy what would you do if we told you that wasn't her baby and he's like holding this baby

going I don't know I don't know what I'd do It'd be a bit of a weird thing to do It's not her baby I feel like as a friend

you should kind of know roughly what the baby looks like Yeah But they all look the same Babies all look the same Yeah The Hits

Back to bed. Friday Flashback. We like to do something on a Friday flashback to yesteryear, a simpler time in New Zealand. We threw back on a Thursday, we flashbacked on a Thursday, we'll sit back on a Saturday, we'll do something on a Monday. And this time we want to flashback to video stores.

Huge part of, I think, of a lot of our sort of childhoods and teenage years, going along to the video store and choosing videos. Basically just a more inconvenient version of Netflix, wasn't it? I used to love it. I used to love to go along and you go along and look at the things, look at the back of the covers and then go, oh, this is a video. You don't want to argue with your siblings. I want this one, I want that one.

Oh, that one's out. I really want to see that one. Then you put your name down on a list for when the videos come back. Yeah, and some iconic commercials from back in the day. Here's a United video. United video. Whoa! Play it one more time now.

United video. There was Blockbuster. And, of course, there was also Video Easy. Video Easy. Video Easy. Video Easy. Video Easy. Video Easy.

Video Easy. Video Easy. Video Easy. Video Easy. Video Easy. Video Easy. It was a lot of fun. One of the most important things of owning a video shop was having a jazzy song that went along with the video shop. Yeah. And DVDs came in. It was a game changer. Because, you know, VHSes, you had to rewind the bloody VHSes.

How filthy were you at the monster who had the tape previously who didn't rewind it? Be kind, rewind. That's how long it took to rewind it. Be kind, rewind? It was a sticker on the VHS. We had COVID and Jacinda was like, be kind. That was the whole thing with COVID.

That was probably slightly more important than rewinding VHSs. Be kind, rewind. Otherwise, it would go back to some emotionless 20-something behind the counter who would probably have to sit there and rewind tapes all day. All the tapes, yeah. Do you remember the adult section too? There was a little curtain sometimes right in the back of the shop. Or like those things that you put over your doors so flies don't get in the house.

It wasn't much. It didn't definitely stop you. The beads. Yeah. There's no way you couldn't look suspicious walking in and out of that. Even if the employee was just delivering back tapes to that section, they even looked embarrassed and disappointed. But did you ever rent from there?

Because then you have to take them up to the counter. To the counter. And they have to scan them. I imagine that's a slip it in the jacket situation, isn't it? But sometimes you would see people coming out and they looked like they had accidentally walked into the wrong section. And that was an Academy Award winning performance. I imagine also you'd get a whole lot

a whole stack of DVDs or videos and then sort of try and slip that one in the middle in the middle I imagine would be the tactic

you wouldn't just come oh I mean maybe fair play to people that just walk straight up and I have you know

these kids don't know how good they've got it these days if you wanted to watch stuff like that you had to really back in the day you had to publicly

put your dignity on the line. Yeah. Now you just, a couple of taps on a key, you're there. Especially if you are into some niche content, you know.

This is the shame and embarrassment we went through. You know, you just take it for granted in 2024. That's a good point, actually. Walking all the way

out there. And there's no confidentiality agreement with that clerk. They will tell everyone that Jonathan is into... You're driving there, you're like, am I doing this? You're in there, and you're like, okay, there's other people in there.

What if I have to leave? Oh, look at this. Your timing has to be perfect to get into the room and out of the room. You're probably looking at another DVD just for a long time, just hoping that the people are leaving. And then you have to take up to the counter.

That's four steps, four big steps you've got to take before you even get home and get to enjoy it. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. We're going to talk about rules your parents had when you were growing up. Here's a different style of parenting, and I don't think they quite realised some of the stuff they were doing, the long-lasting trauma it would have

and the effect it would have on children as adults. Megan, did you have any of this stuff happen to you when you were younger? Yeah, my mum had lots of strange rules. Like we weren't allowed to run the tap in the kitchen because it took so long to get hot water. So like if anyone actually ran the tap, she would get pissed. You had to boil the jug. But now I've realised that I do the same thing. Oh, do you boil the jug?

Yeah. Or I have a bottle. Oh, I sound like such a boomer. I have a bottle, like an empty bottle under the sink so that when you run the tap, you collect the cold water and then I use it on my plants or something else. No, that's not. Because otherwise it ends up being like three or four litres

that you're just running down the drain. So yeah, I've turned it into my mum. No, that's good, mate. It's very booming, you're right running down the drain. So yeah, I've turned it into my mum. That's good mate. It's very booming, you're right, but it's also great. No wastage. There's the idea. I remember Annie was just like, don't sit on the good couch. I was just not allowed to sit on this good couch.

I was like, what is it for? What else is a couch for? You've got a dirty bum. For the guests, I guess. There's always a good couch or some people had a good room You weren't even allowed In the good room You know Stay out of the good living room

My dad was paranoid About And I can't Looking back I can't see why The remote control Like you weren't allowed To point the remote control

At the TV If he was in the road He would like He was worried about What I was going to do to him He was like The gamma rays The gamma rays

Stop And I was like It's like Just put your tip oil head gamma rays, stop. And I was like, you know. Just put your tinfoil hat on. And how often that would happen was very rare. But then my sister and I were like, well, this is fun. Dad's in front of the TV and let's try and point the remote. I can feel the laser.

Whatever that technology was, it was going through his body into the TV. That's what he thought. So it was a weird rule. That's had an effect on you now because you won't sleep in the same room as your cell phone. That's my point. So maybe that's where I've got it from And you had that contraption that measured all the Yeah exactly it all makes sense right

Producer Taylor your father Angelo What was he running? So it wasn't really a house but he's a car fanatic So it was a big no go To get any dirt in the car And it went to the extent where one day My brother and his best mate were down at the beach and we lived about eight kilometers away from the beach and so dad's

gone to pick them up and saw a little speck of sand on my brother and was like go shower that off and my brother refused to being the smart person here and he was like all right mate well i'll give you a friend a lift home and you can walk. And my brother thought he was bluffing. He was absolutely not bluffing. Oh, so he drove home? Drove home and then he rang my mom and mom then had to go pick Luke up and then there was a domestic that night. Yeah, I love a parent who follows through on that.

We had Julieta used to work with us years ago. She was saying her family was on holiday in America and her brother was playing up in the car. Dad was like, if you do that one more time, I'll pull over and you'll get out and you'll walk back to where we're staying. In America, too. In America.

And he did it. And they dropped him off. In some crazy suburb like Compton or something. Do you think you drive away and you're like, I shouldn't have done that, but I can't drop it now and go back. Yeah, I think it was pretty tense silence in the car after that. Have we just delivered our kids to America?

So that's what we want this morning. The parent rules that they used to have, whether it's in the house, whether it's in the car, the unusual ones. Maybe you've taken them up yourself. We'd love to hear from you this morning. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. We want to know the rules that your parents had in the household. Some of them a little unusual.

Yeah. And eccentric. We were just talking during Ellie Goulding there, a bit of a squeegee operation happening in the shower at the Pappas. So not the Pappas, it would have been the... Sellers household. Sellers household when you're growing up. I thought this was a...

Everyone did this. The squeegee in the shower. So after you've had this shower, you have to squeegee the window so it doesn't get all the soap scum bubbles on it. And if she'd walk in, my mum, if you'd walk in and you hadn't squeegeed, yeah, it's all off. Big squeegee program. Professor Grace, you've been squeegeeing.

Your whole household's squeegeeing. You're still squeegeeing? My whole life. I still squeegee. She can't believe that we don't squeegee. Yeah, I thought it was the norm. I thought everyone had a squeegee in their shower. It's a satisfying job when you do it.

It's just adding a couple of minutes to your showering, isn't it? Yeah. So, yeah, the parent rules when you were growing up, and a lot of the rules were just backed up. If you ever questioned the rules, they were just backed up with, because I said so. And there was no, you can't follow that. You can't question because I said so.

And there was probably no practical reason that they had. Now I'm a parent because I've used because I said so. And in my head, I'm like, I don't actually have a good reason for this. Let's go to Steve. Your parent rules rules what were they when you were growing up yeah well uh it was a bit firm but fair rule um so we had my father which i was up for school um i'm on the second call if we never we never got up he'd come upstairs and he'd flip the mattress uh just to get out get out of bed for school oh so you say all the time for, and if you didn't wake up?

Yeah, if the mattress was flipped and you're on the floor. Wow. That must have been strong. Yeah. Yeah. The irony of it was we managed, I don't know if you remember the old flip alarm clocks

with the flip numbers. Oh, yeah, the old school ones. Yeah, yeah. For electronic, yeah. So we managed to rig that to an old gramophone. You remember the flip-top record players, the old wooden ones? That's a trip down memory lane. We managed to wire the speaker to the flip-top alarm clock.

Obviously me and my siblings at the time were all babies. It went off one morning like an atomic bomb. It went boop, boop. off one morning like an atomic bomb. My father wasn't too impressed. So that's playing through the loudspeaker. You'd wired it up to the loudspeaker. That's very smart. Very smart. Yeah, I thought it was smart at the time, but yeah, it caused a lot of drama in our

household. A bit of drama? Oh, so good. Well, thank you for sharing that with us as well. We're going to send you out some hell pizza. We really appreciate it. Yeah, some shout out to some old school tech right there. Some great messages coming through here.

This was on our Facebook page, Hits Breakfast. Mackenzie, our rule was you had to be home before dark. If you weren't home before dark, the sausage man will come and get you. Now, the sausage man was some character in a mobile butcher's van who would go around and collect children and turn them into sausages. Oh, my God. Now, if that doesn't get you home before dark, I don't know. Luton said, my parents took a photo of a mushroom

and added it to our family photo album and said, this was your brother. This was your brother who turned into a mushroom because he didn't shower daily. So you must shower daily. And while you're showering, don't forget to squeegee. Let's get Johan on. Welcome. Kerry, welcome.

Sorry, Kerry. How are you? Your parent rules. Good morning. My parent rules. Good morning. My parent rules. Definitely make your bed before you leave the house because it makes it look nice and tidy. Yeah, good for the robbers too.

And I must say, I do like the squeegee one as well. Are you a squeegee-er? You're a squeegee-house owner. I am a squeegee-er. Yeah. So your bed... It's very common. Yeah, well, we're not looking at you weirdly.

We know people squeegee. Yeah. Yeah. It just feels like after every show, maybe a bit much, but hey, maybe I'm doing it wrong. Maybe I'm showing off. No, we're pro-squeegee. Are you still squeegee yeah yeah it just feels like after every show maybe a bit much but hey maybe i'm doing it wrong maybe i'm sharing our squeegee are you still squeegeeing uh sometimes yeah yo my mom's listening yes uh we're gonna get you on johan your parent rules growing up what were they morning guys yeah my dad had a rule during the week five o'clock you have to be home if not he'll come and fetch you wherever you are with the strap

one day yeah one day i've um ignored him he called me uh getting on playing with the mate and ignored him when he called me the second time the third time he came with the strap and he hit me all the way from there to the house. And the other thing that he had as well, if he says I'm leaving at 8 or 7, you better be ready. If not, he'll leave you and just disappear. Just go. That was for mom as well. So we all learned that quickly and the hard way.

So from then on, we were all ready to go whenever he said he's leaving. It's 7 o'clock. He ran a tight ship. He did. Nothing like a bit of good old-fashioned domestic abuse there for a Friday morning. And Johan, can you just do us a favour and say the word strap five times before we play the ads?

Say the word? Strap. Strap. Strap. Johan, we're going to send you out some help pizza. We really appreciate your call. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Producer Taylor's just whispered in my ear as we were about to talk.

She said, if you spend as much money on clothes as you do on traffic fines, you might look half decent. She's got another one in the mail. Yeah, it's a $40 stinger. Do you get them sent to work so your wife doesn't see? Although she works here too. That was the theory up until you guys keep mentioning it on the radio. Oh yeah, it's quite public.

Jen is a $40 fine. She'll be driving into work now listening to that, so I'll be having a conversation this evening. You know you can pay for parking if you want. That's an option. I know, but it's white privilege, Ben. It's an option. It's a great little app now, too.

Park it anywhere. There's little apps around. Yeah, I love the app. I could pay for parking right now if I was in the street from here. If I wanted to. But I'm not parked there, but it's a beautiful thing about the app. Do it right now. The car's not even there.

I'll pay for it. All right. Now, Megan, what happened yesterday? Interrupting important meetings. Well, yeah. Our workplace, they have an area where often it gets hired out for serious meetings. And there was... It was a big meeting yesterday.

It was. I'm not actually sure. They have a big PowerPoint presentation. I think we literally were like, oh, thank goodness we don't end up with meetings like that. I think it's something to do with the budget and and stuff like that reflections in the back i think it was big sorry for people who have to sit there and there was a lot of slides anyway uh don't feel sorry for those people those people are earning a lot more money than yeah any of us seriously today that's probably like their talus with errors constant yeah the budget yeah yeah they got a

little friendship bracelet So good to go So that was happening at our work this morning And after the show The girls went to get some breakfast Post show brekkie And I was walking with producer Taylor She decides to whip out her phone

As we're going past this big serious meeting And show me It was a picture of her and her husband That had pictures taken. And I'm a good friend. She looked so stunning. I went, ah! It made that sound,

forgetting that we were right outside this meeting. And how many people? Maybe like 50, 60? Yeah, easy. All turned to see who's screaming. It's an interesting noise you make. You could have gone, that looks nice. Would have been an option too.

Looking good. But you are a good friend. She looked that amazing that I made that noise. And so much so the security guard turns and goes, shh. I was like, oh, sorry. They probably were making that noise in the room too about what the financial outlook is for New Zealand over the next 12 months.

A horrified scream right? It was the most exciting thing that happened to them in that meeting too. They were like oh there's a woman passing out in the lobby. Did they turn and look? Yeah. They all did. So apologies.

But that's how great she looked. Thank you, Megan. She looked that good. I went, ah! You should have put it up on the big slideshow there. Look at how great she looks. Waiting for everyone to have that reaction. This is my friend.

Anyone got a dongle to plug in? The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Walking home yesterday, or walking to the car park yesterday and was walking alongside one of the sales reps from the company. Right. And I think this is hands down

probably the best excuse to avoid donating to a pesky charity worker with a bucket that I've ever seen. Right. Okay. And it's a universal problem that we've, universal problem that we all like to give to charity. Charity is a great thing to give through. Yeah, yeah.

Charities do need help. They do. But there's a lot of charities. A lot of charities. And we also, in the back of our minds, we're like, what's the best way to avoid this situation? Like, let's call a spade a spade. Ben, you've been called out before.

And they're like, that's you off TV yeah and then he's like okay well now there's an obligation for your street cred to donate it was the one time I had cash too

and I thought I had just five dollars in there and I was like great and I ended up having fifty five dollars in there and I pulled out the fifty and everyone was like wow

and I couldn't not he held it up I didn't really want it I was thinking five dollars everyone was like wow I was like yeah five dollars generous guy and they're like wow and i could not put it he held it up and i didn't really want it i was like five dollars it was like wow like yeah five dollars generous guy and i was a 50 and i'm like it was it happened everything happened in slow motion and i gave i gave the charity and i can't remember what the charity was to be honest memorable uh but yeah so you see the sales rep, this charity worker, again, bucket, vest, got the combo, approaches him. And before the charity worker has even got the chance to ask for a donation, he's gone, I gave to you about 10 minutes ago when I was walking the other way.

And she's like, oh, you did too, sorry. Walked away. He's like, I didn't give you anything the other way. Oh, really? He goes on the theory That they ask so many people Going back and forth They're never going to remember A face of what's donated

Just say Already gave this morning Already donated And I was like Wow Have I just witnessed The greatest way Was it just a guy in a suit

There was nothing Non Like Very nondescript No nothing No Yeah so I think That works in his favour

Blending in Yeah I mean there's something Kind of wrong about Lying to a charity very nondescript. No, nothing, no. Yeah, so I think that works in his favour. Blending in. Yeah. I mean, there's something kind of wrong about lying to a charity. I mean, morally, if you're okay with that, well then, hey, that's the excuse. Pulling out your phone's also a good option as well. Oh, they know you're doing that.

Yeah, I know. They've seen everything. Going into a store, you put a phone in there on the way out, he's still on his phone call. You should have a long phone call. How many people have they come across who are running late for

appointments I'm sorry I'm just running late for very busy can we just take it back to the good old days though and just when you could just

make a donation and you didn't have to sign up for 12 months can we just do that like on the spot can we just take it back to that yeah the old school

yeah because that's all you want to do because sometimes like okay well here it's five bucks and like oh no I don't want to take your

cash and you're like yeah well just take it yeah I'll take like five bucks and like oh no I don't want to take your cash and you're like yeah well just take it I'll take it like ten dollars now whatever no just I can't do that

well I'll give it to you you deal with the admin in the back end yeah yeah they want to sign you up to a charity subscription producer Taylor

you had a bit of an issue when someone knocked at your door have you come in now we're fresh off the wonderful kids can fundraiser that we had done

and this is only like an hour later, isn't it? Someone knocks on your door. You've just got home, 24 hours on the trot for charity. And I was sick as a dog. So I never normally answer the door because who does that anymore? A lot of people, but anyway. What was it?

And, of course, I had to take the dog up with me too. So up the stairs, open the door, and it's charity. And I'm like, oh, God, and it's for kids as well I was like just been fundraising and then I was gonna go into the spill of how we've just raised half Zealand? So I gave money. Oh, good on you. Thanks. How many kids are there? Open the door, you're like, Jesus, how many kids are there? Is it the North Islander

or is it the South Islander? We've got Hayley from the North, Connor from the South. They'll each pitch their case of why they think their island is having the best one. Yeah, assembling like the Entertainment Avengers.

Connor, how are you in Christchurch this morning, mate? Kia ora, good, good. How are you guys? Yeah, good. Lovely to have you on. Usually we catch you lying in bed, hung over in some hotel room in Gore, but not today. No, no, no, no.

I'm in Christchurch. What are you doing? Reversing a fork? That's not me. That isn't me. Is that Hayley? Hayley in Wellington. I represent the North.

What are you doing? Hello, I'm on the bus. And we're about to go through a giant, enormous bus tunnel, so I might cut out. Okay. Hi, Jono and Ben. I'm just setting the scene. Yeah, no, that's right.

Who are you sitting next to, Hayley? Someone who's sleeping. Okay. Can we get a big wheels on the bus song going with the whole bus? Hey, let's not. Please don't. Please don't. Just to set the scene, Wellington, it's a common courtesy not to take phone calls or

talk, so they did quiet the buses. Oh, so there's... Oh, OK. Well, you didn't have to answer the phone, but we do appreciate it. OK, let's go to Connor first in case your phone cuts out. Connor, what's happening in the South this weekend? Nothing as exciting as being on a bus, really. But I'll start with Dunedin. The hype for Taylor Swift continues

with the Taylor Swift Eres Quiz Night. Whoa. I sound like snot for you, mate. But hey, you can't bring something to the table and then instantly cut it down. It's amazing. It's like feign excitement. I will be there.

From time to time you've got to be impartial. You've got to promote events that personally you may not be interested in. I can't honestly think of anything worse than this. Your excitement level

said otherwise though. You could tell. You were thrilled for it. Yeah. Stoked. Stoked. Tonight at the Dish Cafe and Bar in Dunedin.

Be there. Be there. Hey Megan, you like architecture right? You like architecture. be there. Hey, Megan, you like architecture, right? You like architecture. Love it, yeah. Well, you'll like open Christchurch, my friends. 50 open buildings, guided walks all around Christchurch,

buildings you can't usually walk into in the middle of the day because they're actually people's businesses and properties and stuff. So you get a chance to look at some pretty amazing buildings around Christchurch this weekend. And we'll finish with this, the Blenheim Duck Race, the Five Bucket Duck Derby. Sorry, what? You said it correct.

Don't make him say it again. Yeah, yeah. Okay. Five B-U-C-K Duck Derby. So you buy a duck, right, and then they throw them in this pond. It's essentially glorified fending off ducks, more or less. But that's for a good cause, raising funds for life education. Okay, all of us to each have a go at saying no as quick as we can.

No, definitely don't do that. Maybe Hayley can do it. Hayley on the bus. Do you want to say that nice and loud? Five buck a duck derby. Five buck a duck derby there, Hayley. Nice and loud. Yeah, five buck duck derby. Five buck a duck derby there, Hayley. Nice and loud. Yeah, five buck duck derby.

Yeah, good work, good work. Okay, so what's happening in the north just quickly this weekend? Okay, well, we have a pooches pool party at Taranaki. So this is once a year, a big fundraiser for HBCA. You actually get to take your pooches, take the dogs, and actually get to swim your pooches, take the dogs, and actually get to swim in the aquatic centre, which is totally disgusting if you don't have a dog.

If you do, they will love you for a 12-point donation at the door, and it's all going towards SPCA too. That is a lovely charity. Okay, what else is happening in the north? Hayley? Maybe she went through that tunnel. Yeah, there we go.

And purely just for the fact that he's still there. No, I'm going to give it to Hayley. I'm going to give it to Hayley. Oh, my God. No, because Hayley talked on the bus and she didn't cut her own ideas and go, oh, Taylor Swift. She's back. She's calling back.

Hayley, you won. You won, Hayley. Hayley, you've taken it out this week. Yay. Sorry, just went through a tunnel and cut out. That's right. You won, Hayley. Hayley, you've taken it out this week. Yay. Sorry, just went through a tunnel and cut out. That's right. No, that's fine. And you'll get extra points you'll take out the next four weeks' worth

Issues with technology. She'll help me work the Zoom video camera soon as well, too. Now, you're going to talk about a world miracle hangover cure. Yeah. Benny Blanco is a music producer. He's also in a relationship with Selena Gomez at the moment.

Yeah. But she can't wrap your head around, Megan. I just, she's had such a squeaky clean image and Benny is quite, he does these videos

on social media on TikTok of him like making food but it's generally after he's smoked some weed so he's making like munchies. He makes delicious looking meals. Maybe that's why she's with him. Yeah. He makes delicious food. Yeah, he's smoked some weed so he's making like munchies delicious looking maybe that's why

she's with him he makes delicious food yeah he's like oh I just had to go get some stone to relax myself a little bit

but I'm back he sort of looks like the type of guy who wouldn't look out of sorts if you saw him in pack and save in his pyjamas

you know hairy bears he's a lovable guy he's lovable cute he's so lovable but well he's a lovable guy. He's lovable. Oh, he's so lovable. But it's just, yeah. Well, he's that lovable, she loves him.

Yeah, he was on Jimmy Fallon's talk show in the States and something he does, he reckons he swears by to avoid hangovers is something to do with, well, have a listen. Olive oil. You take a shot. My friend Nino taught me this. These old guys from Italy came in. They said, before you drink, you take a shot of this,

you can't get hungover. Impossible. Impossible. That's what he says. Seems like an old wives tale. Your mum would tell you to put you off drinking. So you've got to have a shot of olive oil before you. A shot's quite a lot of oil.

I used to always have some cheese before you'd go out. Someone told me once, eat some cheese. Because I guess, is it like fattiness lining the stomach maybe? Is that the idea? I don't know. I mean, it does seem like a very, maybe you're right. Maybe the oil sort of gives it a nice little. But as soon as you have some alcohol after the olive oil, is it not like.

You're just kind of swirling around in your stomach right now. Also another great cure for hangover, not drinking. There's always an option as well. There's an option. like, oh. You're just kind of swirling around in your stomach right now. Also, another great cure for hangover, not drinking. This is always an option as well. Always an option. Yeah, exactly. Wake up feeling fresh. Apple cider vinegar is one that's been around for hundreds of years. You do that the next morning.

Yeah, a shot glass of apple cider vinegar. And I think, I guess, the theory behind it is you forget how hungover you are. Because that's the scar. Out sick, your sickness. The older you get, though, the less pain, the less threshold you have for handling hangovers, don't you? Kids are a great cure for hangovers. You do that once, you're like,

well, I'm never going to put myself through that again. That's horrific. You had that recently, didn't you? Having to look after children because they don't care that you're hungover at all. They will one day. Jump on you, loud. It's almost like you want to get them after children because they don't care that you're hungover at all. They will one day. Jump on you loud. Yeah. It's almost like you want

to get them drunk once so they experience it. And you're like, this is it. My three-year-old and one-year-old. My mummy's lying there just not talking,

holding her head. All right. Oh, Andrew, the hits 4487. Is there a cure? Is there something that you use? The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast.

You're after miracle hangovers, Ben, and no one has engaged I'm going to be honest I'm going to We've got one text here actually Greasy food Burgers Bacon

Greasy steaks A lot of greasy stuff Yeah I guess that's kind of One of those things That people do right But again That goes with what

Benny Blanco said He has the olive oil Before Yeah And some people swear by The greasy So it must be like An oily greasy thing Maybe he's onto something there Adding a layer of what Benny Blanco said. He has the olive oil before. Yeah. And then some people swear by the greasy. So it must be like an oily, greasy thing.

Maybe he's onto something there. Adding a layer of grease in a grease. He's just preemptively doing it. It does feel like one of those old wives tales. You're right.

My grandma used to put butter. She'd put butter on burns and things like that which felt like it was just you put butter on it and you're like that's just like it's frying the thing.

It's not like you put an egg on it or anything? Butter on the, what, so if you have sunburn or anything. If you burnt yourself on the oven or whatever, put some butter on it, then it just like sizzles. Oh, God. No, I think that's around the bomb these days. You're planning on eating me? I don't think medical professionals stand behind that one as well.

No. There were a lot of good ones back in the day, weren't there? Well, they used to say smoking was great for pregnant ladies, keeping them looking, I don't know, cancerous. Jessica, you're on. Your miracle hangover cure. Hi. So my dad, who doesn't drink,

we only recently shared this with me, and I'm now into my 40s. And we have actually tried it once or twice now and it's soda water. What, sorry? Soda water. Next, the day before or after or what? So the day after So obviously if you're waking up with a hangover Just drink as much Plain soda water as you can

And it actually works I don't know why and I don't know how I don't know why it took them so long To share this with me Is it because It actually works It's just hydrating you but somehow the bubbles make it more palatable Than just normal water.

Or maybe fun. I don't know. Yeah. The irony of a hangover cure from a man who's never drunk as well. Love it, Jessica. I know. You're going to have a wonderful weekend, all right? Have a great day.

Kelly, you're on. G'day. How are you? Yeah, good. How are you? Yeah, very good. Thank you. What have we got?

So, this is a cure that works for my husband, as I'm a non-drinker, and it seems to work for him. That last caller, the soda water's, yeah, pretty good, where he has tried to guzzle a few glasses of just plain water. Didn't work. Yeah. So, we live in Gisborne, so we're very close to the beach. He goes down to the beach, and he just lies there and floats

he says the Moana does something for him just lies on the beach and floats and goes dear god what have I done I guess he kind of probably wakes you up a little bit like you're on the beach as well as well as the wife mocking him from the beach going yeah good job maybe it's just to get away from you

and your I told you so attitude I'd rather drown. Every time he does it, he gets it. Oh, Kelly, that's wonderful. Thank you. Some great text coming through. Yeah, there's heaps of different theories on the text machine. Yeah, blue Powerade in a pie.

Yeah, a raw egg. Eat a raw egg before drinking. Lines the stomach. Apparently, I don't know about that one. Tomato juice the day after. Soft serve ice cream the day after. A lot of people, two people day after. Soft serve ice cream the day after. A lot of people, two people have said about soft serve ice cream.

And pear juice was supposed to be something, but it turned out you get from canned pears. A lot of these just include hydration. Yeah, but you're right. You're just rehydrating yourself. I do love the theory of just getting back on it. The Bloody Mary's come through a couple of times as well. That's great for curing hangovers and also enabling alcoholism as well. But then you kind of get

the two day hangover that sort of, they're just prolonging it. It's like when New Zealand were like, hey, we're COVID free. And then we leave right in and we just delayed

the whole COVID process. You know? You can glide about it for a while but then it gets worse. Thanks for your calls and texts.
