Thanks to Hello Fresh, cook easy, delicious dinners the whole family will love because nothing beats dinner time. Jono Ben and Megan, the podcast, the podcast. Book to the podcast, yeah, welcome along. I was just having a wee thing there, sorry, Megan, but that's what I do start with. I was just thinking, do I bring this up? I just went and got a hot drink from across the road. And I don't have sugar, but they obviously put sugar in the hot drink. And I was like, should I have said something or should I not?

I just kind of drank it. I went, oh, it's good sugar. And then kind of walked away. Are you sure it's yours? Well, yeah, there wasn't too busy and there wasn't a lot. And I was only one up there and I kind of grabbed. And, yeah, so I missed the part where they called out name. So, yeah.

It's probably not yours. Yeah, well, yeah, maybe that's it. Because we go every day. Like, they're very good. They know what we get. Yeah, yeah. They know our orders. But I was like, oh, maybe I went away.

I went, well, maybe I do need a little bit of sugar. And now the more I drink and I'm like, it's all sweet. It's not used to it. Yeah. I'm sweet enough. And I'm not one. Yeah. No, no of those people I should show up.

Have you ever said I'm sweet enough when making a coffee order? When they say, Would you like sugar? Everyone does. No, I haven't said that, but I have said the other one. What do people say, oh, is it free or something when it comes to, you know, where there's no price on something? I've definitely said that one. Do you know, I went to get coffee with my best friend, you know, at Allie, and we were ordering.

Oh, yeah, like there's a top, there's a top tier. Oh, okay, yeah. You're in there. Okay, cool. Genuine friend. We're in the genuine friend group. Okay, good. Yeah.

And we ordered and then she ordered and then they were like, do you want sugar? And she was like, I'm sweet enough. And I died inside. I was like, oh my God, that's divorce as a friendship. I was like, do I say something to her? Like you just gave me the friend of it. I like it. I think I'm going to just say it.

I'm sweet enough. No, but you do have sugar though. That's your problem. No, I'm kidding. Yes, please. I'm not sweet. No, actually, no, I'd be confused while you did that. I don't quite work with your scenario.

Was that the most annoying phrase that you were here every day when you were running a cafe? Absolutely. I'm sweet enough. How many times a day would you get I'm sweet enough? Oh, I don't know, like 20. Oh, really? Yeah. That's really popular.

Yeah. Oh, yeah, I've got to start saying. I'm sweet enough. You're like every time, but it's just that every time you're like, ha ha ha ha ha. Yeah. It's like, oh. Our friends run a cafe and honestly I say to them, it must be at the end of the day so exhausting because you're having to be from six in the morning to four in the afternoon.

Just polite and nice and. Just smiling the whole time. Yeah, it's not for me. Dealing with customers and being nice and the small talk and all of that, it's not for me. You can't have a bad day. I wasn't behind the counter a lot because I hate it. Andrew, your husband, he'd be great front of shop, wouldn't he? He's great at that.

Like, I literally go in there and he would be chatting to, like, a table of, like, old woman, and they'll be, like, laughing and cackling away. And he's like, I've just sold them their third coffee. He could sell, we always joke. He could sell anything to anyone. Yeah, he'd be really good. good yeah just sold them their third coffee they're on the verge of a heart attack these sweet elderly ladies we got another one in the mirror just sweet talking dolores had her hair done told her she

looks spiffy oh was he a bit of was he bit of a flirt oh yeah he had his market because i'd sometimes i'd be like can you tone it down and he's like i'm selling baby he's like don't have the player that's how you got you right you know sharing up the older ladies couldn't resist I know. How many coffees? Enjoy the podcast. John O'Benn and Megan, the podcast. The hits.

I suffered some trolley raids yesterday at the supermarket. Didn't feel good inside, my heart. So someone was upset with you, were they? Yeah. I don't know what your technique is when you're trying to plow through the supermarket, but what I like to do instead of sort of taking the trolley to every location that I need to go to, sometimes I'll leave the trolley, say, in this instance

by the eggplants and mushrooms okay and I was like I'll dot over there there's the bakery there I'll grab that there it's all kind of in the same area keep just going back and forth and I return why they've got wheels

it's my system it's my system okay you've got your system you make everything from scratch everyone else has their system show me a photo of making fruit roll-ups from scratch we're like why okay you do your stuff that we question

all right and then I get back with my buns and there's a lady with her trolley ram raiding my trolley out of the way pushed it out of the way She needed egg plants It wasn't exactly

And I came back and I was like Oh I just went oh And she goes You should be more considerate And I was like And you know when you You walk around and you're fuming And I'm like I should have said this back

You know when you have an instant Oh so you did it? It was here Instead of winding me. Well, will you being consider it? Take your trolley with you. You're just parking your, you have a real issue with parking. Yeah, he does.

It's like, well, you think is you can park anything anywhere, right? Yeah. Of his. It's like, I can park this. I'm just going to leave my obnoxious trolley here for ages. And I'm like, you know, if you're letting, what I'm thinking in my head is I'm like, if you're letting this wind you up, I'm thinking, the supermarket's not the place for you. You know?

And then guess where I ended up in line at the checkout? Who was in front of me? Oh, mate Well, I'm guessing her Because I don't know I don't know anyone else in the supermarket And did you use your line That you'd come

Oh God, what happened? I said hey, maybe the supermarket's not for you Oh, did you say that? She turned around and she looked at me She couldn't say anything back Because she was like, that is the greatest comeback I've ever heard I could see it on her face

She's going to turn around and be like I'm not listening to the hits ever again Yeah, she would have gone home in her car And thought of a comeback Too late She can't come back with a comeback Now I've come back with the comeback And then we got on with our day

Okay. I mean, I'm going to... And then I went to the disabled car park, loaded with shopping and bug it off. I am going to side with her on this occasion. The mum's and baby park three across her. It was like, yeah. Part horizontally across those three.

That'll do. Guy on a wheelchair. Good day. Made have a good day, buddy. John O'Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits. Saw her on social media that was doing the rounds this week

was a comedian from the UK, Ricky Jervais. A very funny guy. But he had been, he was sort of online. He was getting asked some questions, some sort of fans. live. That's always a risky game, isn't it?

Running, running live and ask me anything. And this is probably one of the greatest ask me anything questions ever. Would you rather wake up as a 10-year-old from the neck up or the neck down? I'm fucking now. So I wake up and I've either got a puny little three-foot body and this old fat head. God, that a bladder at my neck, wouldn't it? I think you can't have a little, you can't have my fat. old body and a little 10 year old head.

It's an interesting question because then you're like, okay, so if I pick the child's head on your body right now, on my old 40, so four year old body, does that mean I have the mental capacity of a 10 year old? So therefore we'd have to go back to school with an adult body and a child head. You get picked on there, wouldn't you? And then the alternate, obviously we are mentally where we are at this point in life. however with a very small little body which has been at the moment

I was just going to say that's kind of me that's me so really that's the option I'd probably take because that's kind of at me at the moment I've got the body of a 10 year old I think it's a no brainer you go with the 10 year old body like I was probably pretty similar height I think I got to like 11 and I stopped growing

plus you think about it if you've got anything wrong with you from the neck down that's most of your body is going back to like 10 years old yeah like your liver mate. Oh, it's a reset on all the vital. You need to abuse another one.

But then am I in my head now as a 44-year-old going, oh, I want to have some beers? So then I am damaging a... Yeah, and the 10-year-old body's not going to handle that well. Not going to develop properly. Yeah, so maybe you can't. I'm like, mate, you're 10 down there. You can't, you know.

And you do you have to go through puberty again. Yeah, yeah, you're going to say, do you age? Or is that it? Is that just you forever? You know, you're riding it out. Clearly, no, clearly that's your new start line and you move again through life. So, geez, at some point you're going to have like a 99-year-old's head.

Because your body's still going to be pretty good in peak life. Yeah, you'd probably live longer, wouldn't you? Get some Botox and stuff. Yeah, okay, so 800 of the hits. We're going to shut this out here on a Friday morning fun Friday. Would you prefer a 10-year-old's body and your head as it is now or a 10-year-old's head in your body as it is now. You're going to lose your eyesight and stuff, right?

Yeah, yeah, like, at top half, you're right. If you go that way, you'll be like, hearing bad eyesight, but the rest of you, you'll be running around, you've been doing all sorts of stuff. Very unusual. Great question. John O'Ben and Megan, the podcast, the hits. New Zealand voted the fifth, the most promiscuous,

it's hard word to say, the freakiest of all countries in the woods. Yeah. Yeah, we're number five. Australia taking out the first spot of the most promiscuous nation. Interesting. Brazil, not surprising. Greece. Greece.

I would have thought America would be on there. I would have thought Diddy would have bought up the American average. Yeah, well, that's true, actually. And not even in the top ten. Jeez, the stuff that guy tried to do for that nation. Now, over the last couple of weeks, over summer, I've been enjoying going to the gym with and my daughters. Now they're at age of they can go. flex.

I'm going to go into the gym. He is flexing as biceps. Yeah, well, I haven't got much biceps, to be honest, if you look at me. But it has been quite fun to go along with them and motivate each other and, you know, while they've been on school holidays and stuff. So it's been cool. Although there were any, well, it's just in the way it works, we've only got two cards between the four of us and the family.

Are you like King Richard Williams? Are you like, you run faster? No, to be honest, when everyone goes in the gym, they kind of go do their own thing. Oh, right. It's going to each other. Yeah. But it's good to go anyway. Yeah, but then when you use this card by yourself,

I remember on accusations of who put the cards not back in the right place and all sorts of stuff goes around. It happened the other night. My daughter was accusing me of not putting the car back. I said, you were last there. And so we ended up buying a new card and she walked through into the gym afterwards. I went, oh, here's my card where she put her hand in a pocket. I was like a side note that's really frustrating.

I needed to get out. Just to get that out. I put my headphones on and away I went somewhere else. But last I went to the gym with my two daughters. and they were off doing the stairmaster, they were doing their thing, and I was doing something else. The elliptical,

quite like the elliptical. I can imagine I like the elliptical. The arms and leaky complex in the same time. Oh, do you know, how do you hate that machine? Oh, yes, my daughter's like, I hate it. I'm like, I like it, you know. You sort of striding away with your arms and legs.

It's not going to be long till you go walking with Nordic poles, I think. It does feel like that. You know, you see your arms, you're working, they're back and forth. You're going to be one of those guys. And I was doing the elliptical, getting up quite, you know,

quite a sweat. at the time. But it was time to wrap up. And I walked up to where my daughters were and I was like, well, time we need to head off. Head to you home. And I grabbed my daughter's towel from,

you know, it was on the side of her machine and I wiped my face with it. Oh, gross. Yeah, I was just like, oh, I'll grab their towel. Family tear. We're a family entry.

I just thought, it'll be a bit of a gag too. I grabbed my towel, use it as well. You know, just come off the elliptical. She looked to me even gross. I'm like, great, I got a good reaction. She goes, no, gross, because it's not my towel. And as soon as I'd done, that I was like, uh-oh.

Was it in the moisture content? That was sitting there before. She'd come on the thing and it was just like, oh, and I'm quite, you know, quite a clean sort of. All over your face. Did it for the gag too? And I was like, oh God. So, yeah.

Were you suddenly aware of a smell in the towel? Yeah, yeah. Afterwards you're all up, but, you know, afterwards. So anyway, so I won't. He exfoliated nine layers of face off when he got home. I did actually. You did. The old apricot scrub out.

John O'Ben and Megan. Podcast. The Hats. Now, chat GPT, you know, it seems to be something that a lot of people use it these days, right? Yeah, just for everyday things, for work things, especially. We use it probably on the daily. It's a handy tool. It really is a handy tool.

And a lot of fear that AI is going to take over jobs and things like that. And I don't think there is... You're not worried about it anymore? I'm not worried for a long time. Not since you've managed to break it. Well, I feel like I have, yeah, because it's... It's amazing how quickly it will just type something in. Within a matter of seconds, it will spit something out.

I'm always been astounded by how quick it is. And that's the brand that it's built for itself. And that's obviously what it wants to upkeep. It's like, my thing is I'm known for spitting out information as quick as possible. And sometimes I'm just like, just slow down. Just slow down. I don't need it. Just instantly, I can have it within 30 seconds a minute.

It's fine. Still impressive. Just lately, we've heard Ben talking to chat, GBT, saying, just take your time, mate. Take your time. Yeah, so I'm talking to a way. to you out loud as well because sometimes we help out with the alpha quiz. Yeah, help out coming up with questions.

And this morning, you know, early in the morning I just typed in, can you come up with some quiz questions with the answers starting with E? Straight away comes back. Love a good alphabet quiz. That always gives you a little bit of, you know, your smiley face. It really, it just validates you. Doesn't it everything you are? You can tell it not to be as validating.

Some people do that because sometimes you're like, you're really glazing me up too much. Didn't they tell us not to be polite to it. Don't say please. Like, are they wasting energy by... Feels like that as well. Now, I won't go through all the things, but it really had... Mum, you thought it was my anxiety coming back

because it spout of these questions so fast. First question, general knowledge, what is the capital of Estonia, it says? And then it says its answer. Estonia. And then it went, Estonia's capital is Estonia? Trick! Exclamation mark.

Estonia's capital is Estonia. Okay, sorry, smiley face. Actual Estonia. Estonia's capital is Estonia. Nope. It's Estonia. It's Estonia. It's Estonia's capital is Thailand.

Ignore me, let's restart properly. This is all just... It's really having a nervous breakdown. And then a couple of questions later. Which animated ogre is voiced by Mike Myers? E Shrek. Nope. This is what it's saying.

Oh, so it's wanting to study with E. Yeah, E Shrek, nope. Okay, I'm clearly cursed today. Actual E Shrek doesn't work. Let's behave. Sweaty emoji. Okay. The sudden to sweat.

And then right down towards the end, here. It really has... It has taken on Ben's personality. This is 100% Ben's chat GPT. Now I don't know how to quite pronounce this word, but it says, what sports features EPI, foil and sabre?

And then it says, answer, Angard. Kidding in brackets. EPE Fencing. And fencing, actual, Angard, Fencing, EPE, N fencing, Fencing, okay, last wobble.

And the face like a grimace, like, er. It's come on with that. It's like, I've let you down, Master. I haven't let you down. It actually is quite worrying because is AI taking on our personalities? It seems like... Last wobble, there's things.

It's like, yeah, let's restart ignore me. Oh, yeah. To be fair to AI, we have been pushing it to its limits over the last 12 months. Finally, maybe some annual leave. Maybe let's give it a breather. Yeah. Summertime, maybe it does need to take the summer off. John O'Ben and Megan, the podcast.

The Hats. Who's having the best weekend? We love doing this. It's back again for 2020. Haley from the north, Connor from the south, both work for the hits, and both tell us why they think their island is having the best weekend. Well, Haley, I tell you what, representing the north, probably hasn't had the best week.

I spent, like, so much money on Sunblock at this warehouse, and I haven't even touched it. Oh, you poor bugger. All right. Okay, why is the weekend going to be better than the week in the north there, Haley? Well, thankfully the capital has gotten off a bit lighter than the upper part of the North Island and they have got it at Teapapa

they have just launched their Eat Your Art out, High Tea and this looks like, honestly Art A-R-T right? Art A-R-T, right? Yeah, yeah, thanks Connor. Yeah, not the other one.

But this, honestly, it's celebrating the beautiful art on display and Teapapa and that, but it looks like the most beautiful high tea you can go to, like their pieces of art. Oh, stop it, Connor. Oh, because it meant to be a play on Eat Your Heart Out? No, I know, but with my Wicado Act in the sound like, my brain went in.

Yeah, I went there too. I think everyone's. I mean, that would definitely be a niche audience. Oh, why? That niche. And whoever came up, you're not, on the marketing team, they're like, go with me on this one, guys. Oh, there you go, eat your art out. Oh, my God, every time.

that's happening this weekend and Wellington sounds fun now Connor representing the South in Christchurch lovely to have you on you know I haven't spoken to Connor since he gave me my secret Santa present Connor

Connor went over to my parents' house in Christchurch and did a full-blown Christmas family photo shoot with mum and dad and Christmas jumpers and things was very funny yeah we didn't need any art

just by the last I just admired their art okay well Connor what's happening what's the big banger in the South this weekend? Well, I mean, we could go with the obvious here and, you know, say Ed Shearing.

Oh, yeah, of course, two nights. Yeah, two nights in Christchurch, yeah. Yeah, but, you know, I'm going to pivot to something that I think quite cool. I mean, my biggest complainant I've said personally about Lord of the Rings would be how long each of the movies are and how long it takes to watch all three of them. So what they've done is they've condensed this down

into a 90-minute extravaganza pantomime play of which is on for free. and the wonderful botanic gardens at the Anthony Harper Lawn all weekend long and it will be on Friday as well so if you're hopefully the weather actually gets better because right now is pouring down in Christchurcher, I won't lie but if it does get better a free Lord of the Rings show in 90 minutes

all three movies. Jeez, they've made some brutal letters. Some characters are definitely gone. They're not featured. How many films were they fought? Well, there's three. Yeah, but there was two Hobbit ones and stuff or a couple of hobbit ones.

Maybe there's three. Oh, you're not including those. They've just gone, delete, delete. Peter Jackson's like, what? Hang on. There you go. Okay, so Megan, Ben, you've got to decide what's happening. Is it the art extravaganza taking place in Wellington?

Or the 90-minute Lord of the Rings cut down? As much as I love to eat my art out. She loves eating art. I love it. I'm going to go with the South. All right, you go over the South. Go with the South. First win, let's try and keep track of the wins for 2026.

We're doing a leaderboard. Okay, yeah. All right, Connor, you've got the first victory, okay? Good. Starting the other way we finished it, eh. And you didn't even have to use the Ed Sheer and Trump card on that one, didn't you? So, yeah, well done. No, he slipped it in, though, didn't he?

He did. He did. All right, you guys have a great weekend. Stay safe out there. Thanks, guys. John O'Ben and Megan, the podcast. The Hits. We're looking for the best 99 songs of the 90s here.

of the hits. The hit top 99 of the 90s. You can vote for your favorite at the hits.como.n.z. We've been talking about all things 90s. So this countdown going to take place on the 5th of February. And I was reminiscing about something we had in the 90s at home. It was a singing fish that would be on the wall, mechanical fish that would kind of be motion operated

and it would sing a couple of songs. Willie Bass, I think what was the name of the fish? Don't worry, be happy. And his neck, geez, he must have one hell of a chiropractor, build that fish. Just going back and forth, swinging. We had it at home. Mum, got rid of it to when she was decluttering. And I was like, oh, Mom, we could have had it with...

I thought, well, let's try and track one down. It would be my dream to have it up here on the hits wall, and here in the studio by the time we do the countdown. All about the bass. All about the bass. Of course, like a flattig situation, we share the studio. with many other announcers here at the Hitzman. We do, yeah.

And one individual that we feel we need to get clearance from before we attach. It's probably the most, yeah, singing fish to the wall. He's probably the most sensitive to his surroundings. He's been talking of my favourite of all their announcers. Oh, you greaser. It's a big happy new year to Maddie MacLean. Welcome. The most sensitive.

Oh, yeah, see, I'm Megan. I was like, stop talking, stop. talking now. Seesative and so you're so caring and so in touch with your emotions. You know? I do you. Do you know what?

I said to the girls actually this year that my New Year's resolution was to regulate my emotions more. He starts with a excuse me. It's really been put to the test this morning.

Ignore Megan, but anyway, I'm not sure if you're aware of these fish from the 90s, the singing Billy Bass that would I know it. You know it? And what do you think Mattie about having it up here? You can look at it every day here at the hits. I hate it. I knew he would.

See, I told you. Why? Why? He's most sensitive to a surrounding. Have you seen his house on social? He's got everything beautifully laid out the decor. A big ugly 1995 fish is not in your wheelhouse, Maddie MacLean. And here's the thing. I am so shocked that I'm the one

you need clearance from. Have you seen the way Megan Puppas rats who Christmas presents? Yeah, true. If you think I care about aesthetics. Yeah, well, I've kind of, I don't know how I got Megan on board with this, she's just going along with it, so I feel like I've already got her on side. She's part of the show. She was just happy to wind up

the sensitive Maddie McClay. It's Stockholm syndrome. I'm just going along with it now. Yeah. Look, aesthetically, I don't love the idea. You're right, next to like. My main concern is how often does this thing go off? Well it's motion activated so every time you move

maybe. And you know you're running every day, you're running everywhere, 10 Ks, 20Ks. And I'm a flapper with my hands when I'm a horse as well. A sensitive flapper. All right, Maddie. Well, we'll leave that one with you to think about but if anyone has got a one, they're even working or non-working. I'd love to hear from you. Well, maybe two. Maddie needs one for his house. Well, yeah, true. I'll get Ryan on site, eh?

John O'Bennon and Megan, the podcast, The Hits. That's right. You're a little confused about your friend. Yeah, now over the holidays, you know, you catch up with people, many conversations, and you often talk about, you know, things that are going on in people's lives. And sometimes I find with friends or maybe partners are friends, you're sort of in your head, you're like, I kind of don't really know exactly what they do for a job. Yeah.

Everyone's got that person in their group, don't they? I mean, you've got, maybe in banking or something or something or their officey thing, and I'm like, oh. You know what it is? It's like you've got your, you know, your florists, your builders, your plumbers in your group. You're like, I know, I know what you do. I think it's as soon as you head into the office blocks, the corporate world. And they are all those funky names for jobs, you know? I kind of know the area, and I should know more.

And I kind of, but I sometimes I find myself talking to them about work, about their job, but still not quite, like, the questions are very very, vague from how's things being at work, you know, like, oh, it's been busy this time, you know, just... You know, not to be arrogant, he probably knows what you do for a job. It's a little easy, it's probably a little easy, kind of like the plumbers and the flores and stuff, because it's

a little bit more like, oh, okay, he's... I get what it is. So they've asked you a series of questions about how your work's going? And I'm asking them back, but at the same time, trying to piece together in my mind to go, what exactly do they do? And am I asking a question that's appropriate for their job, or am I looking like, I have no idea? Because it's too late for me to go, what the heck do you do?

It's worse when, like, they're your good friends, right? And then, like, my mum always asks, oh, how are they doing? Are they still doing that job? And you're like, huh? I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. What do they do exactly?

You're like, I don't know. I don't know. You could go, how's the emailing? Yeah, the numbers. Yeah. It's busy at this time of the year, the office. You guys got a swipe card. Yeah.

They're good questions. They're good questions. But it's tricky. I don't know if there's a way around it or, you know, but slowly. sometimes you can piece it together around. That's a great moment when you do. Did you end up landing on the prison's role? Not over the holidays.

I've done that before where you're finally doing you're like, yeah, that's right. And then you start rasking. Suddenly you go from fake questions, quite specific ones. And they're like, oh, it just be better to be like, hey, look, let's talk about your job because I don't fully understand. And I feel like I should. Listen, listen, sometimes that would be the quickest route. Yeah.

But not for us right now because we want to open up the phones. Oh, 800 of the hits. Yeah, so you give us a call right now, oh, 800 of the hits. So we've got a couple of families. passes to the Auckland FC. They're playing tomorrow, 5 o'clock against the Mariners. You can get all the details at the Hits.coma. nz. Great.

To go along and head to Auckland FC, I know what those players do, the professional footballers. That's fine. Yeah, you'll be like, hey, guys, how's your emailing? Yeah, emailing's good, but more about the season. But we thought, oh, Andrew, the Hats, give us a call right now, and we'll have maybe a question each to see after that if we can work out your job. And if we can't, you get the tickets. Tickets.

Okay. So, easy. You don't have to really reveal anything. until we can, we'll try and work out with a vague question. And we don't want to give away too much, right? And our questions, we want to play it pretty cool. We don't want to let on that we don't know what you're professional. John O'Ben and Megan, the podcast, the hits.

Over the holidays, experienced a moment in a social setting where I really should have known what my friend did exactly for a job. I knew the industry, but I couldn't quite pinpoint it. And I was asking some very vague questions. I was wondering, does it happen to a lot of people? And you didn't actually land on his specific role, did you? But I don't know if he knew. I was just kind of chatting around stuff.

He knows. Yeah, they know. Okay. And probably if he's in one of those roles, he probably gets these generic questions all of the time. So the game we want to play for some tickets to the Auckland FC. You join us in conversation. We will do some light banter and by the end of that we'll try and figure out what you do for a job. Yeah, so you can give us a little bit, but maybe not too much.

And we'll try and work out the job by the end of it. And if we can't, you'll get yourself a family pass to the Auckland FC playing 5 o'clock Saturday night. You can bring the family for fun. inflatables and the infamous slide, which is so much funny, the Auckland FC games, all the details of the hit stock I don't he said.

The podcast. The hits. Harry Stiles got new music out later today. He's just announced a world tour coming as far as Australia for a couple of nights. Sydney, Melbourne, but not New Zealand, sadly. New album, imminent. Kiss all the time. Disco occasionally.

Love it. I just saw a, what do they call it when you flick through the photos. Real? Real? Carousel. Carousel. And it had like a tour date, then just two people, like, aggressively passing, then you go again. And there's another tour date, then there's another couple aggressively patching. Well, it's kiss all the time.

Yeah. A lot of passion going on there on that carousel. Extraordinary amount of passion. But we were mentioning yesterday, we were just talking about this after the show yesterday. Emily, who's doing a wonderful job, filling in for producer grace this week. She's a lot less aggressive and confrontational. A lot less. Are you a Gen Zia? Yes.

Yeah. They do calm in a calm form. You're not just going slay king, slay diva. No, she's slayed us once, is it? The whole week. Well, not to our faces. If I was here for another week, who knows? Yeah, who knows?

Yeah, mind you did, Grace did start off quiet. Yeah, then she flourished and blossomed into the Gen Zs. So we're learning a lot about you, and you're a huge, huge, one-direction fan and a fan of all the One-Direction people as they've gone solo. right yeah yes 100% yeah and you just started rattling off facts yesterday uh all sorts what's uh you you said uh the exact date that the band formed yeah july 23rd yeah 2010 on on the x factor oh right okay do you know what day of the week that was no i couldn't tell you but i can't tell you what day it is of the week this year oh my god oh wow so you're something it's a day you celebrate

well i mean on online you can see it everywhere it's like oh it's one direction day yeah you've got a until all the One Direction albums on that day. I've skipped it every year. Every year. We didn't have a holiday, don't we, about that time? Yeah. I'll celebrate that with you. Okay, so what are the facts do you know off the top of head?

Well, in 2012, before they got a lot bigger, after the first league of their up all night tour, they actually opened for big time rush in February. John was like, I don't know who that is. I'm going to have to believe you on that one. Yeah. Why would you be making that up? What I found interesting yesterday?

too, you and Megan got into a big hole about all of Harry's outfits. Yeah. And you were going, oh yeah, he wore that on night too when he was playing at Madison Square Garden. You know each outfit from each concert. So I was, I have like favorite outfits that Harry's worn and I described them to her

and you could tell me where they were. I was like the lace jumpsuit with the lace gloves. Where did he wear that ends? Yeah, that was he was performing falling at at Summit Awards show. Correct. So you'll be saying people around the world obviously huge fans and something.

We knew their blood type, right? Yes. When they were in, still in one direction, there was people that hacked into some sort of like database and found all their blood types. Huge privacy breach. Yeah, massive. Yeah.

His is B positive, which I thought was kind of fitting. Well, listen, we're, you know, we're zeroing in on Emily here, but then Megan started piping up after the show yesterday. It doesn't surprise me because I know all, like, so much stuff about Hansen. I don't know what it is about like young girls. We just get involved. Do you what?

We get involved and I can still to this day tell you the exact birthdays of each of the Hanson boys. So Isaac Hanson, he's the oldest. 17th of November 1980. Going to have to take your word for it. Taylor Hanson, middle one with the long heather singer. He is 13th of March, 1983. Okay, yeah. Zach Hansen, I know, 22nd of October, 1985.

Same birthday as my daughter. When she was born, one of the second things I said was. same birthday as Hansen. The second thing you said when you knew you were pregnant. Oh my God, she was born. Oh my God, she's here. Same birthday as Zach Hansen.

Can you well us with a fact like this? What is the niche fact that you know that's retained in your mind? Who's your favourite band, Jono? Well, he doesn't know anyone to be quite in that a position, do you? I know. I'm like, yeah, I'll just go on. Axel Rose's birthday, mate. Was he Osborne?

What's his fun time? What's his favourite? Color. Matt, I think that's his bloods. Blake. John O'Benn and Megan, the podcast. The Hits. Top 99 of the 90s.

We are looking for the best 99 songs from the 1990s. If you want to head to The Hits.com. High.com. Right now, you can vote for your faves. And then on the 5th of February, we're counting them all down, all 99 of them. And, of course, I'm on the lookout for the fish, the Billy Bass, the singing fish that was on the walls in the 90s. I had one. I was talking to my mom last night.

She's like, I don't know where I gave it away to, our one. Oh, you did try and message you yesterday, yeah. She's like, I don't know, cleared it out with some stuff. It's gone. So I want to get another one for the studio. So if you do to know of any working ones around the country, 4487. You did say there are some available in Australia, but they now sing, I will survive.

Yeah, I will survive. Yeah. When did they, why did they change the, I don't know, maybe Wrights and Worldies. I think it was like, was, I think I read yesterday, Al Green or something was his original song, was one of the original songs of the two, and made more from the singing fish

than from the actual going of the song. He loves that singing bass bastard. This one. Music rights obviously a big thing of that one. It's singing fish world. Even if you are a fish, you can breach copyright. Okay, let's dive into the jar of nostalgia. We have 9990s notes here.

We just mentioned snap braces before. You were saying that... Bestie's got some sonic ones, Those are there were bracelets, they're flat, and then you snap them on your wrist and they curl up. He likes to slap them on his sister. Sometimes they, did they attach them to the whole swatch watch back in the day? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

That's right. Yeah, watch ones. Eventually they would lose their, you know, the snap strength because you'd just be, whippa, whop! All the time. Yeah. And they'd be quite fit around your little child's sort of wrist as well, too, right? Great little gimmick. Do you know another fun gimmick I enjoyed for the 90s, too,

were the old pump system on the Reebok pumps. Oh yeah. And you could pump up. On the tongue. For whatever reason, you could pump up your shoes. What was the point of it going flat? Why was it just not always pumped? No other shoes have gone flat.

No, pump them up and you think, I'm going to be out of a dunk it. You couldn't. Take him to the garage, get the old air pump. I'm delving into the jar right now. Pen pals is... Did you guys ever have a pen pal? I never really got into the pen pal system as a kid. Nah, really.

It feels like, you know, like some kids really did love writing to kids overseas, right? How did you find, was it, I was going to say, was their websites, but no. No, they wouldn't. How did you find a pen pal? Maybe I feel like maybe we wrote to some other stuff. Yeah, I remember my cousin had a pen pal on the other side of the world as well, but then you're like, is this just someone in prison who's like, yeah. You don't, you never know who you're writing to, do you?

Hey, a lot, probably a lot safer than now. Well, that's true. In terms of engagement with people on the other side of the world. You write a letter and then months later, you know, there was no instant sort of feedback or any response. I remember at school they'd always get us to write to the little Africans. Oh yeah. And you'd pen a letter and you'd say, oh, listen, wish you a Mary Christmas. They never wrote back.

We never got a letter back. It's about giving. It was a one-way communication street. Okay, on that note, we're going to wrap things up. I feel like we've got enough to sell. I just want to put my hands up and quietly walk back. Exactly. I don't.

Don't. Don't. Okay. Still waiting for one of those letters to be. John O'Bennon and Megan. The podcast. The Hits. I want to get into when you really shouldn't have brought the dog somewhere.

You know, you'd learn in hindsight, don't you? And I want to say adding a dog to the family, selecting a dog to the squad. It's a wonderful addition, isn't it? To any family.

You love your dog. Do you love a dog? You get classy-eyed when you do a dog. You get my dog. about your wife and kids on the radio. You really do. Oh, that dog is just the heart bit of the fat. Yeah, you really am.

He is, honestly, if you get up in the middle. You've gone from avoiding a dog and an animal for many years, all of a sudden go, oh, the dog. But look, you always get glassy-eyed when he talks about his dog. You're right, Megan. You're right. Two in the morning for a pee, boom, he's up. I'm with you. I'm with you.

No one else is getting up. But anyway, terrible mistake, Bunnings. They've got a policy of, or dogs are allowed to. in store. Yeah. Which are great. I mean, that's lovely of Bunnings

but also they've really made a rod for their own bag. Because they're an unpredictable species, aren't they? Particularly in a new environment. I was,

I'll take the dog to Bunnings and just overwhelmed with a tsunami of new smells and he's like, I need to mark my territory in here. This is new land. Like bloody old... It's weird because, you know,

a lot of dogs have windowed inside at home. No. Suddenly they're inside a... a store, you know? And he just, he tries to save up so much Europe, just so he can just mark as many places as he can when you go and walking. It's pretty incredible that they can go,

it's like, you've just been, I say the dogs, no, you're just been, you don't need to go because they just want to just get there. A little more, no, no, mate. You try and cut off midstream. Yeah. It's difficult. Yeah, well, true, it's quite impressive, right?

Took him in there, and, yeah, the nature took course. And so I'm like, oh, gosh, and I know how to go to the section where you'd buy like Sally's wipes and buy a packet of wipes and then go and wipe up the man and I just carried him back out to the car I was like that's a one and done for Bunnings

I know you've had an incident of Bunnings too I've tried to take the way he took the dog we're like yeah the same as you we're like you take the dog to Bunnings should we do that and it was one that had a double escalator system you know and escalate like so a tramalater thing and the dog put his paws on the escalator

and it's obviously moving he was like whoa whoa and the back paws just stayed stationary so it's just a Just slowly extended out the dog. I'm like, mate, you're going to have to go. Did he get a belly ride a boy out? He said, I don't want to go. And then we were like, I had to carry him up.

Then I got the top and I was like, no, sir. I'm not carrying around, buddy. Let's take him back to the car. You're carrying your fluffy white dog. It's a huge dog to carry too. Yeah, he's not really one you can carry around. So, yeah, I was like, well, I shouldn't have taken the dog to buddies. Where did you take the dog to?

Well, I just take my dog anywhere. Remember he took it to work? Yeah. I came to work. That was, I don't bring him to work anymore because we weren't even working together on the same show and Leo pooped was it kind of under your desk Ben it was kind of out towards the office area yet I was doing some stuff and first thing in the morning to be fair he's only little so it was a little poop which is probably worse doesn't make any difference to Ben no it's worse because

you didn't notice it initially I just sat back down in my chair in the studio I was like really smells a little bit off something off and you're looking around and then you look at your shoes you're like uh-oh and then you retrace your steps and it was me yeah yeah it wasn't hard to retrace steps. Trampled. You go through the stages of denial, don't you, with that odour? You're like, surely not me. Is it you?

Why would it smell like? Start accusing other people. And the last thing you need to do, you want to do is check the soul of your shoes. So, oh, 800 of the hits. We really shouldn't have taken the dog. You can text 4487 as well. We used to have Dog Day here at work, didn't we? Not anymore.

That was a shambles, absolutely. Like dogs, they're not designed for the workplace. No, you're right. But any German shepherds wandering around the office. The podcast. The hits. Big news today for fans of Harry Styles. A new album.

Album was going to say, definitely a single coming out. They're going to around about 9 o'clock this morning, New Zealand time, a new single. But a new album as well. And he's just announced a pretty amazing tour, although New Zealand not on the list. No. So he's going to Australia. He's going to Sydney and Melbourne. He's not doing many places.

So he's going to New York at Madison Square Garden. but nowhere else in America. He's doing 30 shows, 30 consecutive nights at Madison Square Garden. What about the Knicks? What about the bloody New York Knicks? I know, yeah. I guess it must be out of season time. Nick's going to wrap it up, mate.

We're going to go. We're going to go. He's going to win the bloody end. NBA over here, pal. Well, that's an incredible 30 nights. Imagine hiring up Madison Square Garden for a month. Yeah. He's done that in the past, not for that long, right?

He did 15 nights. So he's just doubled it. 15 nights in 2022. It made me look up what is the record for the most consecutive nights. And it's Billy Joel, 104. What? At consecutive? Yeah, he finished that in 2024.

No wonder he's not doing music again. Performing anymore, he's like, 104 nights in a row. Yeah, but like, why happens to everything else? Well, they just wait for Billy Joel to finish. Because they do all sorts there, obviously, concerts. I think they're ice hockey, they do wrestling, they do all sorts in that, you know, it's a multi-purpose arena. in the middle of New York.

Hey, Billy Joel gobbling up all the stage time there. That's incredible. But yeah, Harry's not coming to New Zealand. Well, he did, to be fair, I don't think there was any part of the world he didn't visit. For like nine years he was on tour. That's true. The last tour. Wasn't he here last time where the census was on?

We're like, Harry, just to fill out the census. He talked about it on stage. He was like, I've done the census guys. Oh, good on him for doing that. So we can lay claim to Harry Stiles, being in the country at the time. But you've spoken to him before. This interview, because I love Harry, This is the most nervous I have ever been interviewing anyone.

But he kind of, he got me flustered. We also, all three of us, share favourite songs. What are cherry, falling and fine lines? They're definitely three of my, three of my favorites, yeah. Good choices. Thank you. Yeah, those three, I'd say, those three are probably the three that mean the most to me. So, yeah, so thank you for.

using us. I'm glad you liked him. What an unusual accent he has. Does he? Yeah, he kind of sounds like a Kiwi. Doesn't he? He's kind of got his British accents flattened. Would you say maybe that wasn't Harry Stiles?

Was he Gary Stiles? Was he were talking to? Gary Stiles. It wasn't on Zoma or anything, aren't you? No. I had to come. Listen to the guy. I heard it too.

I was like, is that Harry Siles? Yeah, have a little. They're definitely three of my, three of my favorites. Yeah. That's what he sounds like. I had to come in on a Saturday, and I waited two hours for Harry. It feels like Harry went home and we had to hand it on with someone else. I ruined that moment for me.

I can kind of do an English accent, but it's not that good. Yeah, it'll be like, it's only on the phone. Sounds like you're doing four accents at the same time. He's like, yeah, they're my favourites, but don't get me to name any other songs of the other. Anyway, we won't ruin it for you, Megan, it's glad that you and Harry chose the favorite. You and Harry chose your favourite song. I will implore on Harry Styles this morning after, after, we'll. We know what more that's happening with his new songs.

John O'Ben and Megan, the podcast. The hits. Producer Troy, you come back this week, our first full week back on air this week, and you had a New Year's resolution. Yeah, I don't normally do them, but I thought this year, why not? I'm going to try and read 30 books. That's a huge number of books, and a lot of unnecessary pressure to put on yourself, too, because, you know, reading meant to be a relaxing activity,

but now you've turned into a stressful activity. And I get notifications now from this app being like, you're one page below the goal. Oh, really? You got to catch up. Oh, have you put it in an app? Yeah, there's an app called Goodreads that kind of tracks it and tells you how far behind or ahead you are. I enjoy reading, but I like taking things off a to do list.

And when I start a book, I feel like, I've just got to finish. And then I'm like, for two days, I'm just like, probably like you this week. And then whilst like, you can put it down. It's a very stressful. You've got to get it done. Got to get it done. It's like, yeah, it's again, meaning to be relaxing. But for some reason, we've put pressure on ourselves to do 10,000 steps a day, count your step.

Why do we do this to ourselves? So there was a book recommended for you. We thought we'd throw it out there this week. A book that you could read one of the books. Yeah, Will, our very good listener friend, recommended porn of prophecy, which is part of a collection. P-A-W-N. Yes, thank you.

Yeah. A fantasy book, and it's a big book, and you've been reading it this week. It was like 400 and something pages. It is part of a series, too, the Bulgariad? Yes. How many books in that series? Five, five books. So you claim you have read to the books start to finish five days.

I'd have. I have. I don't know. Take your word for it. I mean, yeah. But you still seem a bit confused by the book. Yeah. Yeah, it was dense. Was it good?

I enjoyed it, yeah. Okay. Did you read it like the world's fastest reader? I'm just still calling, like, maybe this isn't true this guy. But anyway, we'll take his word for it. So let's bring Will on right now, and he can maybe quiz you a couple of questions on the book to see if you, and fact, have read it and retained any information. Hello, Will.

Hello, good morning Great to have you on Now, you are a prolific reader You're doing the opposite to Troy You want to read less this year So you can get more sleep Yeah, that's one Okay, Will, so we sent you to the bookshelf

You picked this book And it is time for That's not well, by the way That's still the world's fastest reader World's fastest reader Sounds like he's going over speed bumps When he's reading Wait a little bit

We've got some questions for producer Troy to maybe hopefully know that if he's read the book can you ask him a question right now. Okay, cool. Shall I get some dramatic music? Yeah, go on. Okay, all right. You can keep asking the question.

Okay, go well. For the music. Where does Garian grow up? Where does Garian? Big and take a breath as he tries to like, yeah, Gary and, Gary, and, Gary in. Is Garian like the main character? Yes.

Oh, Troy. It's family history. It starts with an air. It's like Flandersfield Founders Founders Farm Founders Farm Close

What was it? Seldors Oh yeah Well it's close Oh yeah I mean It sounds like you skimred it But yeah

Yeah okay next question Not a great start I'll say What important object is stolen I know this It's the orb Yes Oh no

It's back Okay, this one. Wait, wait, wait, but the orb of what? Oh, don't do this, too. He said the orb. The orb of the west. Close enough. Oh, close enough, close enough.

And one more question, here we go. Final question. What's it going to be? Oh, who is Mr. Wolf traveling with at first? What are they say? You look in pain. I'm trying to. Pull the memory out of my brain.

I can't. You just read, it's this week. You've read the book. Who was the wolf travelling with at first? Oh, mate. Bulgaria. No. I thought I just said the name of the book.

Oh, well, thank you so much for joining us and causing him. Good luck with your goal of reading less this year. And thank you for helping us with producer Troy's goal of reading more this year. Maybe you need to pick up your pace like this guy, Troy. John O'Ben and Megan, the podcast. The Hits. Harry Stiles just announced his. Got a new album coming out.

A single, I reckon, at some stage today in New Zealand time. One p.m. we're thinking. He's going on tour, spending 30 nights in New York at Madison Square Gardens. Consecutively. Amazing. We're thinking it's going to be a disco album. It's called Kiss All the Time, Disco Occasionally. Not coming to New Zealand.

We'll be, I'm very upset about that one, but he is going to, Sydney and Melbourne. Notice he's got a bit of a shaved-head, big, you know, biker-mustache combo going on at the moment. It's not my favourite look from Harry. I don't mind it. It's the lad's like it, eh. Kind of Freddie Mercury-like, isn't it? Yeah. Anyway, we all have our versions of Harry that we love.

I'm still not turning him down. It looks like you could be playing NRL for a team or something, you know. A little bit of a mullet, a little bit of moustache. I like it. Would you, if you were with Harry, would you make him shave off that moustache? I wouldn't make Harry sales do anything you didn't want to do. Harry can do whatever his life. All of the lads would be like, oh, the mrs made him shave off the mose.

She'd suddenly keep digging away at it, you know, just chipping away at it. You look so much better with him in these photos. No, I'm a fan of Mose, actually. You're not Mose. Anyway, something you're not a fan of in the gym. So, you know, this is a product. I'm not sponsoring this product because I'm about to tell you how I'm. I hate one of their products.

Dyson, they do everything fancy. Sometimes too fancy. Oh, really. The stick vacuum clean. Very, very creative man, old Jim Dyson. Wasn't he? He's invented some great stuff. Yeah, that fan that's like just got no fan bits.

The bloody, the blades that you stick your hands into in the public toilets, you know? Oh, yeah. The old air blade. Yeah, true. Gee, it feels like you blow the skin off your hands. That, great. But they've moved in. to other bathroom wear and I'm not

here for it. Have you experienced the taps and it's got place your hands here for the water wash wash wash wash wash place your hands here for the soap. Oh yes yeah and then the dryer They haven't been airports and stuff like that sometimes so it's almost like a little arrowhead

This is this created by dog I didn't realize they've got it was a hand washing game Oh is it not I'm just like maybe yeah no I think it is Dyson it's your chat bit making them all than me but they have them at my gym now they I've gone to like a new renovated gym and they have upgraded to these fancy tabs.

So yeah. We go to the same gym. Must be nice. I've never seen any flash taps in my own. I'll go to a nicer like suburb. That's what I do. So they've got the fancy dice and taps. The trouble is.

You've got to be really specific. Yeah. You put your hands under that's right. Exactly. So I had my phone. I was watching, this is where I watch my TV shows. I was watching my show. So I had it up on the side of the sink.

I'm trying to find... At the gym? Yeah, why? It's when I go on the treadmill and stuff. And then I just like went to the toilet. Tend the off. Get the bathroom, mate. Put your phone away.

No way. I've got my headphones on. That makes it even we're weird. Yeah. That's weird. Anyway, that's side. We'll talk about that in another day. So I'm continuing to watch my show.

Younger, Netflix's great. So I'm trying to find where the water bit is. And I'm like, it's not coming out. Eventually sprays out and sprays all over my phone. And I'm like... Hi. If you listen to Jono and I, you can't be in your phone down there. So press pause.

And then I was like, okay, well, it's got the little airblade in the tap. I'm going to put it under the blady thing to dry it. Oh, you're trying to blow your phone. Yeah, because it's like a powerful. Fair enough. So I'm then, the trouble is I'm trying to find where to put the phone to get the blow dry bit. And then that's when the tap decides to go. Oh, so then you've drenched in a waterfall of Dyson water.

I just literally ran my phone under the tab. Not recommended, I would say. This is stupid. The one hand drying washing system, not a fan. I'm not here for it. Couldn't get the water when I wanted it. Couldn't get the dryer when I wanted it. Do you know what's a small miracle?

What? When I said Jim Dyson, I just made up a name. Is it Jim Dyson? Is it? James Dyson. I just completely made up a name. And another miracle, he made over 5,000 prototypes of that vacuum cleaner. Before settling on the one that is the one.

How many prototypes of the tap? No, no. He's only done two of those. That's where you were wrong. He didn't block that. John O'Ben and Megan, the podcast. The heads.
