The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Cheers to Dilma, making the world a better tea. Friday night, Matariki evening, ended up in tears of laughter. Poppy, my daughter, had her friend over there having a sleepover, and they pulled out from the attic her old Barbie dolls, okay, they were just in a big container. So there was a bit of a role play going on, and I don't know how many companies many companies would come into illegally for this but

they had created a it was like a Jerry Springer style chat show called the Bardashians so I had and uh were you involved in any of this no I was just watching I was just watching and secretly record illicit recordings and uh but they they very high stuff. They kind of took on the persona of three rednecks who had come onto this chat show. And again, for copyright purposes, not Ken, Ren. Oh, yeah. Had found himself in a bit of a love tryst. Right.

Now, have a listen to the Bardashians. Well, I just want to say that Ren kissed me. Okay. That is a lot like... Jenny, shut your mouth or I'm going to kick you out of here, okay? Nobody asked for your opinion. Yes, you did. You paid me to do this.

You paid me to do this. I'm going to pay you. Okay, so Ren, what do you have to say about this situation? I think that it's nuts. I think that me, Jenny, and Raquel could get along as a throuple. I swear to God, if you say throuple again, she's my adopted sister. Of course I don't like her.

I'm trying to help you, Jenny. I don't care. I like things the way they are. So, how old are they? That's quite advanced. I'm like, is this a sign of some sloppy parenting? A throuble Like a throuble

I barely know what a throuble means Yeah That feels very advanced Yeah A gruesome relationship Very trailer park-y Paternity tests being called out I know the accent's really something

Yeah I like things the way they are I love I love Well I I think we can all get along. Of course, Ren's going to say that, aren't we? Ren's like that. I really invested in those characters.

I don't know how we ended up there, but I blame the internet. Nothing to do with my parenting. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. The big music festival was on over the weekend. A wonderful moment on stage with Coldplay when they brought out Michael J. Fox, who played guitar with them. One who just totally rocks

with his Chuck Berry riff and the way he punched Biff. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Michael J. Fox. Very cool. Of course, Michael Jackson, Michael J. Fox, is struggling with Parkinson's, was in a wheelchair, but amazing, amazing moment. Would have been more amazing if they brought out Michael Jackson.

That would have been a hell of a moment. No, I said that. That would have been some get, wouldn't it? The beginning of that, I like it. It sounds like you're at a children's show when you sing a capitalism. The crowd like, woo!

They're like, what's this song? Is it weird? And he's like, oh, Michael J. Fox, rocks, fox,

yeah. Hey, now, a bit of a dilemma, social dilemma here. Question is, would you rather be with a dead broke person okay so taylor they're not dead they're not dead they're not michael jason

someone who's got no money yeah broke person who really loves you okay loves you unconditionally or option b be with a billionaire who you know cheats on you. What option are you taking? Taylor? Well, you know the right answer, right? Like everyone's thinking what the ethical answer is. Yeah, we'd love you to chime in to 0800 the hits on this one. But a billion dollars is a billion dollars.

What are my circumstances? That's what I want to know. And as the billionaire. Do I love either of them or not? No, you're genuinely in love with both of them. So either way, I'm in love with them. And what about my financial situation? Well, you're not a billionaire, okay?

No, you're doing all right. I'm doing all right? I can help old mate who's broke or not? Is it not just Your scenario now It's become a bone of contention Because you're paying For old mate all the time

Yeah At least they love me Wait is the billionaire old No it doesn't have to be old Does it No Okay Charismatic

Let's say Good looking Let's say good looking But cheats on you Let's say the billionaire Is better looking. Elon Musk goes off and makes his 17th child. Well, you're married to Elon Musk.

What are you doing, Megan? I might surprise you and I'd say I'd go for true love. Because I think we all have the opportunity to do that, really. Like, in real life. Be a billionaire. No, you have the chance to do that really like in real life be a billionaire no you have the chance to hook up with a rich person no we don't

we're meeting billionaires no we're not billionaires but you can go out there and find rich people you can go out there and find rich people and try and hook up with them this is a billion dollars

this isn't even millions stuff your house in Auckland. You could buy all of Hawaii. But he's cheating on you. At the end of the day. They all do. You could cheat on him. You could cheat on him too, right?

Yeah, exactly. No, I just feel like you're just going to. What's to say the poor guy's not going to cheat on you anyway? But what's to say if you're in a good, happy relationship, he's not going to be a billionaire eventually? Oh, he won't. It's very rare. So we've got two clear camps here. We've true love and we've got taylor who's like money speaks volumes

okay okay i love i love both your opinions i love both your thoughts okay can i divorce him and take half oh yeah yeah yeah you got up three years three years we're gonna say three years you gotta be together oh you didn't say that the The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. A very interesting moral dilemma this morning. We keep going around in circles in the studio about this one. Would you rather be with a broke person who really loves you? They would do their all for you. Or be with a billionaire who constantly cheats on you.

And you love them both. You're in love, deeply in love, Deeply in love. Madly in love. I'm also like, lots of questions like, what stage of my life am I at? How am I feeling? Well, right now. Right now.

Right now. Because you're kind of refusing to answer the question. It sounds like you're going with the billionaire. Well, look at us. I'm in my 20s, and I'm like, get me a sugar daddy. I mean, you're like,

yeah, this is, you know. Well, now you're in your 40s. Okay? You've got a family. It's weird either way. Family would understand. I'm like, I'm going yeah, this is, you know. Well, now you're in your 40s. Okay. You've got a family. It's weird either way. You know. My family would understand. I'm like, I'm going to get some money from the billionaire.

But everyone's saying that on the text machine. Like, marry him. Be with the billionaire. Have like a pool boy or something on the side. Cheat on him. Back. Get divorced. Take half the money.

The thing is, like, Jono said, he's a billionaire. He's got an ironclad prenup. You're probably not getting anything. So imagine when the relationship ends, it's the end of the money. So you've got good money while you're with them. Having a great run. A great three or four years. Alright, the poor, the poor

person then. So you're going the poor person. Why? Because they love you. They love you unconditionally. Shut up. You made it sound like something. But I was like, I think it's amazing that one person can really love someone and they really love them back. Like, that's quite precious, really. That's nice.

It's like, hey, is it worth a million dollars? Well, that's the question right now, isn't it? Amanda, what are you doing? What are you doing with this complex scenario? Yes, it is pretty complex. I would probably marry the billionaire and seeing that he's cheating on you like crazy,

why don't do the same and cheat on him and go with the guy that loves you and just live two separate lives. You have your bedroom, he has his bedroom. Yeah, shallow. And then just divorce after three years. Very shallow existence it is, but you've got money. It is very shallow.

You don't walk out with money, though. That's the only thing. I kind of don't really see the downside of that scenario. No, no, but you're living a good life. I don't know, you can stay with the sugar daddy for a long time. You can just pop him a few sleeping pills. He doesn't have to worry about anything. Okay, okay. Now we're getting into some murky sort of territory.

A little bit of cyanide. No, no, no, whatever. He's old. He's old. That's the one I'm wearing to Rupert Murdoch. Georgie, you're on. Welcome. Are you staying with the poor person who really loves you or a billionaire who cheats on you?

Definitely going with the billionaire, marrying them, and then leaving them to go with the poor person. Oh, so while you're being cheated on, you find love with the poor person. You've got to get the money and then make the poor person well, definitely richer.

Any sleeping pills in your ears? Potentially. Because if he's got an ironclad prenup and divorced, you don't get anything. What happens if he dies? Do you get it all then? Yeah, if I didn't get anything, I'd definitely expose him. People will know him.

Yeah, right. Okay, this is taking quite the dark turn. But there we go. Kelly, who's come on from Christchurch, says she has the perfect answer. What are you doing, Kel? Good morning. Morning. I'm thinking about this dilemma She has the perfect answer. What are you doing, Kel? Good morning. Morning.

So I'm thinking about this dilemma, and it's like, well, you know, you can make things really good for all of us. So you'd marry the billionaire and, you know, sort of hang out for a little while and obviously until time passed, and then you'd divorce him and then go back to the one that you love. Oh, so you've gathered some cash while you've been with the billionaire and then you go back and you're like, hey, look, I've got us some savings. Oh, yes.

So, yeah, if you're not getting anything in the divorce, just siphon it off while you're with them. What was that movie? Start a business, producer Taylor's saying, while you're in there. Like an active wear business or something. Yeah. What was that movie? It was, oh, now it's me vaguely describing movies.

Was it Indecent Proposal? Same thing. It was the Demi Moore movie from back in the day. Yeah, that rich guy was like, hey, let me spend a night with you lady. A million dollars for a night with you. Yeah. Was there anyone that said they'd choose the poor person? No, no, just you.

You're the only good person in this country. Megan. Speaks volumes. I did marry a musician. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. I had a Matariki event, and it was beautiful. It was really sweet at my kids' childcare centre.

Oh, did they put it? They invited all the families? Yeah. Yeah, right. What did you do? What did they lay on? they invited all the families? Yeah. Yeah, right. What did you do? What did they lay on? There was lots of lights and stars. There was a little photo booth.

We did like marshmallows roasting over a fire. The kids sung some waiata. It was beautiful. But everyone was required to bring a plate from each class. And that's fine. But it fills me with panic because I'm like, what if no one eats from my plate? Like, what if everyone's like, yuck.

But then there's also the pressure that you don't want it to be too unhealthy because, you know. She's back at Cheezles, mate. Just sprinkle that on a paper plate. No nuts as well. You have to be mindful of allergies. Especially at that age too. So I went with baking because I was like, you know, I mean, it's pretty unhealthy. I was like age too. So I went with baking

because I was like, you know, I mean, it's pretty unhealthy. I was like caramel slice, it will get eaten. Yep. Fine.

Easy. I can make it in advance. Doesn't have to be done on the day. Got there and there was some geniuses just bought like pizzas. I was like, amazing.

Great place. Some people have KFC at an event. There was a KFC bucket. Beautiful. Everyone was hoovering the KFC bucket. I was like, genius, for the people that don't have time. But here's my, and this also is genius,

because they were going along the lines of healthy. I don't know how easy it is to eat, but someone had put in a bowl of peas and corn. Who ate that? Now, I bet the poor bowl of peas and corn, what, dried ate that? Now I bet the poor bowl of peas and corn what dried or cooked or That was cooked.

Cooked or just like a big old steamed up bowl of Yeah. I mean nice but what do you do? Like just a spoonful Yeah. Spoon it onto a plate.

I don't think there was a spoon. Oh. Maybe you can dip your KFC into it. Yeah. Make yourself feel better. It's not a ideal finger food. I mean the

the only person enjoying that is being boys yeah he'd love every now and again when the kids didn't do this once because i know people will just play this great they'll buy chips or chocolate or biscuits and i'm like let's turn the tide let's get something in there something healthy they're like dad no one's gonna eat that i'm down for that you guys you guys, you're not other people. I know, it's not the first thing that kids gravitate towards, I get that. You were going to be my litmus test, you two, because like, you're not famous for... What's that, mate?

Comedy? Anything? Your cooking art. Is this a guessing game or what I have in my mind? Shono, you're not famous for your... Culinary skills? Yes.

Oh, I'm sorry. What would you take? I'm a cheese... Cheesels. Yeah, no, not cheesels. But as I told you before, every time I'm invited to one of those,

it's like, can you bring the cheese board? Yes. My cheese board's just a block of cheese with some crackers. Fill your boots. That's what I would have bought. Is that it? like, can you bring the cheese board? And my cheese board's just a block of cheese with some crackers. Fill your boots. That's what I work for. Is that it? No, you're not putting grapes, you're not putting

carrots, you're not putting any. Oh, wow. That's your job, mate. You're trying to turn the tide on them. The cheese board is, anyway, we'll get about this. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Long weekend? It's great, isn't it? Great long weekend. I loved Matariki, and actually the nice, crisp, cool air is refreshing, isn't it? Yeah. Nothing like a

winter's night here in New Zealand now. I really thought there was a joke coming. Yes I was waiting for it too. You just looked so cheeky. It was weird. I just can't take you seriously. It was, I know. Nothing like the crisp cool air. It was weird. It was a weird

rant. You okay? Weird tangent. Just trying to be more genuine you know. If it's weird for you because no one expects this is weird. If was a weird rant. You okay? Weird tangent. Yeah, just trying to be more genuine, you know? Oh, okay. It's weird for you because no one expects, you're like, this is weird. It's weird for you, it's weird for us. Okay, sorry. I won't make it weird.

No, I'm just going to make this weird. There's a concept of you leaving a message for me, right? Yeah, we haven't done this in a while. This is a game we used to play, Megan. It's called Reception, Reception. So we'd phone businesses' reception to see if they would then take a message for us and then pass on the message to me.

You don't work there? We don't work there. But we don't have anyone that can take a message for us. So it's like, take this down, take this message. Very complex, very complex. So Ben's not going to know what the message is, so we'll send Ben out to this studio. You can go into the other room, aka the soundproof booth.

We won't be able to hear anything. And we'll go through to hopefully this business's reception here. Lyndall speaking. Hi, Lyndall. How are you? Hi. Good, thank you. Just Jonathan calling from Video Easy.

I just had a message that I was going to leave for Ben. There's no Ben here. Oh, he just gave me this number and he said it's fine. You can just leave a message with him and they'll pass it on to him. Uh, I can, doesn't sound, yeah, what's the message? Uh, he's got a few movies that are outstanding. He hasn't returned. Uh, yeah, I can take that message.

Yeah, that's fine, okay. Uh, so he's just got some late fees on Grinding Nemo. Oh, that's us. So he's just got some late fees on grinding Nemo. Who is this? And also he's two weeks late on ET, the extra testicle. I don't know who it is. Okay, I'll let this person know. And there's one more. Okay, yeah.

He rented out shaving Ryan's privates. Okay, yeah. He rented out Shaving Ryan's Privates. Okay, yeah. So if he calls, can you just pass on that there's some late fees owing? Okay, no problem. Thanks, Lyndall. You have a wonderful day. Cheers, bye. Bye.

So there's power one done. Lyndall, she looks like she's going to take the message. And Ben, welcome back in. Welcome back in. What I love about this is I sit there in the soundproof booth. I can't hear anything. But all I just see is the big smile on your face as I come back in. And to see you laughing away, I'm like, oh, here we go.

So you got a message to collect from Lyndall. And she happily took the message. The reception we've received from this reception, outstanding. Now time for you to collect the message. The reception we've received from this reception, outstanding. Now time for you to collect the message. See if we can close this deal. What's this? This is Ben. Jono's just left a message apparently with Lyndall for me.

I don't know what it is. I honestly don't know what it is. There's just some outstanding videos. It needs to be returned. Outstanding videos. Well, I don't know the titles, but I'm scared to ask. So, yeah, okay. So there is, what was it?

Grinding Nemo. Shaving Brian's private. And then an ET one. Okay, which one? Yeah, that one's a bit out the gate. ET the extra testicle. She can't say that. You're a professional.

I'm so sorry you've been dragged into this on radio with us. Lyndall, it's Jono and Ben here. We play a game called the Reception Reception where we test to see if receptionists will take messages for us. Thank you so much. You've been a superstar. You're welcome. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.

For someone to, well, someone slid into Megan's DMs with a little bit of help needed. Dear Megan. Something you can do from time to time if you want any advice, so we can put it out to the Hits whanau. And they are great. You guys are listening are all amazing. Not medical advice, though.

Don't come at us with, I've got a weird little lump growing on my thigh or something like that. You probably do need to seek professional assistance. We would be worse than Google. Don't Google it. Don't come to us. But definitely try and pop it if you do have a weird lump.

All right. So this is the DM that we need your help with. Wondering if you could help me. I've been with my girlfriend for over a year now and everything seems to be running smoothly. Since we've known each other, she's always been wearing this love heart necklace that I never really took note of until it recently came up. That it was a present from her ex-partner for their three year anniversary. I was in a bit of shock when she told me this and asked why she was still wearing it.

To which she said, I like the look of it. Do you think this is weird? And do I have the right to ask her not to wear it? Now, every time I look at her, I think about her ex. Do you think she's holding on to feelings by wearing it? Would love some advice. Tough one. A love heart shape too just makes me feel a little bit weird

but there's a bonus, you don't have to buy that jewellery, the jewellery's paid for if you can let go of the emotional attachment from the previous relationship I mean it's not it's not as personal as like a ring or as impersonal as earrings it's kind of sitting in the middle

doesn't it when it comes to the close mouth kiss of the jewellery game, the necklace. Do you have jewellery from another partner? I do. I've actually still got my engagement and wedding ring from my previous relationship. I don't wear them because it's probably not my vibe now, but I honestly, if I wore it, I don't think my husband would care. But I've also got a necklace that was given to me

by my ex. It's not a love heart. It's actually a razor blade. But it... Speaks volumes. It was like a Karen Walker razor blade. Stylish razor blade. But I still had that and I would

still wear that. It's just jewellery. I know, but there's something about jewellery. I don't know how cool I'd be with this. Really? Yeah, I don't know. Would I say anything? No.

You'd just look fester. Yeah. She obviously just thinks it's pretty. She's with you. Why don't you take it down to the bloody dude with the gold tooth in that shop. Exchange it. Then you can go and buy something that you've chosen. You know, go to the gold house off to the casino there.

It's great, that place. Yeah, it's fantastic. But she likes it, though. It's just a piece of jewelry she's become attached to. I get it from her point of view that maybe there is no emotional connection. But I also get it from his point of view that maybe he's a bit like, oh, this feels a bit weird, a bit off-putting. I have never really questioned the origin of any of Jen's previous jewellery.

So you don't know? I don't know, but I'm just like, oh, I'm happy I didn't have to pay for it. Yeah. But a love heart feels like a very, you know, a heart feels like an extra step. Okay, here's a question. It's just like a bracelet or something. Ben, you've married a divorcee, okay? You've moved into the house.

A month into the relationship, she's like, oh, by the way, this is the house that me and my ex had together. Are you making her throw the house out? Well, no, but it's not, yeah. See? Yeah. Also, if I got divorced again, I'd have to get rid of, like, all my jewellery.

Bugger that. Or a car. You know, he's sitting in the passenger seat of a car. He's like, by the way, my ex bought me this car. Are you making me sell it? Well, no. But a love heart jewellery feels a little different in that scenario. Yeah, you're right.

I'm just trying to come up with a scenario that makes no sense to what we're talking about. You're right. Just possessions. Yeah. Okay. Under the hats, 4487, maybe this has happened to you. Maybe you have some advice for today. Today's DM, Megan.

A guy coming for your advice today. Yeah, the love heart necklace from the ex-partner. Does he have the right to say don't wear it? The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Dear Megan. In the middle of today's Dear Megan, someone has slid into Megan's DMs with an interesting dilemma, it is. So this guy has been with his partner for a while,

and he has just noticed that she's wearing a heart necklace from a previous relationship that was given to her on their three-year anniversary. She likes it. So it has significance. And he wants to know, can he ask her to not wear it because he thinks it's weird. You've got a lovely

heart necklace on today. Who bought you that? This was from one of my friends when she asked me to be her bridesmaid. Oh, that's a lovely touch. Yeah.

So Andrew wouldn't make you throw that out. No. Ben, you got any jewellery on? We talked about your nipple rings over the weekend.

No, no, no jewellery. I used to have a lot more jewellery back in the day but mockable stuff. Did you just have n. No, no, no, jewellery. I used to have a lot more jewellery back in the day, but mockable stuff. Didn't you just have nipple rings? Oh, no, for radio purposes. He's had his nipples done before.

A couple of times, but only for 24-hour periods. Within the day, I think. He went into an interview where he was promoting his television programme to the edge. Your old radio station. Oh, you all used to work there. And he just thought he was going for a stock standard interview. I'd get wedgies.

My undies were ripped by a strong man. Classic. My legs waxed and a nipple piercing. I was like, what just went on? He's like, I just wanted to see my shows back on TV. It was a wild couple of minutes. Anyway. How long did you keep that ringing for?

I took it out. It really hurts taking it out. Oh, yeah. It's a tender part. Oh, yeah. Anyway, let's a tender part. Ah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Anyway, let's go to KJ. How are you, KJ?

Hey, how's it going, matey? You got your nipples done, baby? Oh, no way. Nah, painful stuff, KJ. All right. This necklace, it's been given by an ex. She's still wearing it. What are you doing?

I would probably just go out and buy me one and say it's from my ex and just make, because it's kind of sad that she's doing it. And to be honest here and say it's from my ex and just make, because it's kind of sad that she's doing that. And to be honest, yeah, or just hit her up and just say, I don't like you wearing it, you know? I love how you're like, I would invest in a necklace, but I'm not going to give it to her. I'm going to give it to me.

I like that. This is from my ex. I like that. Oh, no, I think it's just from my ex, yeah. I like that. That's a great way. That's a great way to bring it up. She's like,

no, I don't like that. Well, I don't like yours. You're cool with it? You're cool with this? Oh yeah, this whole thing. I like your style, KJ. We're going to hook you up with some hell pizza, KJ.

Love your call this morning, mate. Angela, you're welcome to Dear Megan this morning. Okay, a guy's getting a little anxious about his girlfriend, his partner wearing jewellery from her ex. What do you say about

this? I think just go buy her something she'll like to wear. Yeah, and that is a common thing coming through on the text machine. Buy her something new that she'll like more. Chuck, get some diamonds in there. I mean, to her honestly, it's just an eclipse, but

if it means that much to him, just buy her something to replace it. Yeah, I don't know about you, but I have means that much to him, just buy something to replace it. Yeah, I don't know about you, but I have favourites that I roll until I get something better, and then I roll that for a while. So buy her something better, you're right. Yeah, and also another text here, he doesn't have the right to tell her to take it off. No. But he does have the right, he can go and buy a new piece of jewellery too.

That seems to be a common thing. I totally get it, I'm a self-confessed magpie, I love jewellery. However, it's common for men to feel new piece of jewellery too. That seems to be a common thing. I totally get it. I'm a self-confessed magpie. I love jewellery. However, it's common for men to feel uncomfortable around personal jewellery, this jewellery expert says. So there we go. Go and buy a new piece. That seems to be the consensus. Or go and buy yourself a piece of jewellery

and pretend it's from your ex. I like that as well. I mentioned this before. There was the big presidential debate happening Friday, New Zealand time over the weekend. Donald Trump, Joe Biden both want to be president come November. It's still four months away, the election. Yeah.

Four months of this content. And the presidential debate sort of resembled two bickering residents from the retirement village. Like they're sitting in a rhyme and they've never really got along. They're a bit niggly. Yeah, it was fascinating but also scary at the same time. One of my favourite bits, if I can say that, was when they were both boasting about how good their golf games were.

Have a listen to this. I told you before I'm happy to play golf if you carry your own bag. Think you can do it? That's the biggest lie that I've ever heard. He's a six handicap of all. I was an eight handicap. Yeah. Eight.

Never. But I have, you know how many, how many. I've seen you swing. I know you swing. Let's not act like children. President Trump, we're going to go to the moon. Let's not act like children. Who's the best golfer?

Maybe that's how they can settle it. Round of golf. Who gets the ball the furthest. Who becomes how they could settle it Around the golf Who wins Who can hit the ball the furthest Who becomes president Well Donald Trump was like I'm still winning golf tournaments I've won two golf tournaments

Not even a senior one A normal golf tournament He's like That takes a lot of skill The most privileged old white man conversation I've ever heard I'm a 6'8 I'm an 8'10 again

No it seems like From people that watched it People that That did in-depth analysis on it, Trump lied a lot of it. That's what they thought. A lot of people saying he lied through most of it. And then Biden just lost his way.

I mean, there were sort of answers like this from Joe Biden. Eligible for what I've been able to do with the COVID, excuse me, with dealing with everything we have to do with, look, if we finally beat Medicare. It got to the stage where even Donald Trump, this was his response after Biden kind of lost his way. President Trump? I really don't know what he said at the end of that sentence.

I don't think he knows what he said either. Look. I hate agreeing with Trump. I know. I don't know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don't think he knows what he said either. Look. I hate agreeing with Trump. I know. I don't know what he said. I know. So it is a bit of a worry for, you know, for those that support Joe Biden, right? Because he didn't quite seem, you know, I want to be ageist.

You know, it's great that he's still. But he's old. I know. It is being ageist. But he's too old. You've got a convicted lying felon or a guy who doesn't know what day it is. You can't even say that he's lying because he doesn't know what he's saying. I know.

There we go. Scary times. It's scary times. And I know we're in New Zealand a long way away, but that's big things in the world going on. You never want to be doing this between words. Red flags as soon as you start making groaning noises in between long gaps of words that you're trying to come up with. The hits.

The Jono and Ben podcast. Taylor Swift was in the UK, well, still in the UK and Europe. The Errorist Talk continues on. Yeah. Just something popped up on the old Instagram here. So I'll just read some stuff I've found on the internet. That's what radio is.

Basically. Just regurgitating the internet. We talk the internet for you. That's radio. When you can't be bothered reading it. Taylor Swift has donated enough money to cover the food bills for an entire year across 11 food banks and 8 community pantries in Liverpool.

Where obviously she's been performing in the UK. She's done this for every single obviously she's been performing in the UK. She's done this for every single city she's toured in the UK. Wow. That's not her posting that either. That's just a humble brag. She's done an Insta story being like, just donating to the food banks.

Just a guy who works for one of the food banks just said, hey, just so you know, this is happening. She's a billionaire too, right? Travis Kelsey? What would he do okay party in west hollywood with leonardo di caprio and he's doing right for himself tell you what i've got a bit of a moral dilemma going on at home we're not really a moral dilemma just a bit of a dilemma um so there's a pair of ladies underwear that have turned it's turned up at home now this is the Now, I live in a house of three females. We've had family to stay, the people come over,

but all of a sudden, the questions start arising to me. Like, oh, do you know where these came from? No. I might be on the wall at bras and things of a list of the banned customers, but no. But I feel like I have to justify that I've got no. I'm like, no, I don't. And they're like, well, whose are they then?

I'm like, I don't know, but why are you asking me about these? Describe the undies. Well, they're kind of black. They're not like frilly laces. Adult? Yeah, they seem like, well, I haven't tried them on or anything. They seem more on an adult size than the kid's size. No patterns or anything

no they're just kind of like standard sort of you know and I've been like well they're my wife's my wife says not hers

and then I'm like well it must be family and I'm like oh I don't know and we get into this debate of who's undies well it's not me where were they found

they came through the washing they came don't suck I know what you're doing here don't suck who did the load of washing well i might have i put them in the bedroom to go yeah look why can't i know what he's saying

there's why can't the household just be happy we've scored a free pair of underpants you're not wearing someone else's well yeah what do i do them now like we sort of put them like towards the front door in case someone's gonna come around and go oh sorry my auntie's there you're like oh yeah, yeah, they are. But have you gone through everyone who might have been there who could have had the undie? Well, I think so. I feel like why would –

Ben, I back you 100% here, buddy, but if this was a court of law and I was the prosecuting lawyer, I would be looking at your past indiscrepancies with women's underwear. Now, if we just look at your history, okay, evidence A, your neighbours, he somehow ended up with his neighbours underpants in his possession. Now, he blames the dog

for peeling these off the watching list. Did you or did you not, Ben boys, have my underwear at your house at one stage? Yes, I did. You have a past. And also, let's not forget, growing up, he was very attached to his mother's saucy negligent as well. Oh, yes, I did have a feeling petticoat was what I took.

Yeah, right. All fingers are pointing somewhere. Yeah, but it's not. Anyway, I don't feel like I can justify myself. I don't think that would work in a court. It's not. Anyway. Stop it.

In court. Stop it! I can't even, looking back on my whole life, I can't even think of one time I've ended up with a stranger's underpants in my possession. You! It's happened to you three or four times. I can't hear from moral support, it's not working today. It's not me!

It feels like the internet's always full of outrage and so we like to play a little game where we find some stories on the internet and then the other ones in the show have to work out why the internet could be outraged yeah and it doesn't take much for the internet to get outraged and we think it was such a wide catchment of people and uh morals isn't it the internet and if you even just have a couple of people that's enough for an outrage article you're right yeah sometimes they're like oh there's outrage you look at the comments it's like well three people were outraged out of thousands but anyway it's enough for an article the uh the news sites love backlash over this

don't they they love a backlash headline uh well there's been some backlash and outrage over uh sharks just swimming in the water now you need to try and figure out what the outrage would be for sharks swimming in the water. So, are they too close to humans? Close to shore? Yeah. They are on the shoreline, but it's not that they're affecting the humans in their swimming. I can read out some comments from the article below. I can't believe this.

Just when you thought humans couldn't get any lower. Oh, so something we've done. Oh, we're trying to capture the sharks or something? No. Are they feeding them fish and chips? They're eating something. They're eating something. I'll give you another clue here.

I couldn't be any more scared of sharks, and now this happens, is another comment. Are they pouring beer in the water? Oh, you're getting warm. Oh, really? You're getting warm. Oh, warm. Beer?

Okay, well, what's worse than beer? Hard liquor. What's worse than beer? Have a listen. How about sharks hopped up on cocaine? Experts say sharks may be gobbling up bales of drugs which have been dumped off the Florida coast by smugglers. Marine biologists went to study the phenomenon.

They conducted experiments and spotted a hammerhead shark swimming into dumped packages and biting into them. Wow. They already look quite wired, sharks, to begin with. You don't really need sharks on cocaine. Cocaine beer was a frightening movie, wasn't it? So sharks on cocaine, that's starting to get outrage, and I understand, understandable outrage. And I understand. Understandable outrage.

Especially with the sharks about two or three days later. Someone needs to drop a camera in there and see what's up. See what they're doing. No one wants to encounter a shark after a three-day cocaine bender. All I'm going to say is a couple on a flight in Germany, they've caused outrage. They were making out. Were they making out?

Along those lines. Oh, okay. Smooching in the toilets? Yeah. No. Someone was sitting on someone's lap. Well, yeah,

you're pretty much bang on. So there's a Polish couple in their 40s, unnamed at the moment, but they caused outrage. And I think justifiably so. They were performing sexual acts on each other in the play

and then they got asked to stop and they carried on doing it. They kept going. Yeah. Was it under a blanket? I hope it was under a blanket. I hope it was. You've got to put your courtesy blanket over the top. Have you seen the blanket couple in New York?

They had a blanket over them but you can still see. Yeah, I know. You can see movement. But at least a blanket sort of hiding a little bit but yeah so yeah they've caused a lot of outrage because they were asked to stop and then they didn't stop they kept going and then into the end they had to call police when they landed for police to come on and arrest them well they're still going as they're landing stamina i imagine because they're obviously in the heat of the moment they're like don't get me to

stop now please but then when it's all they're obviously in the heat of the moment. They're like, don't get me to stop now, please. But then when it's all over and done with, the shame of just sitting there. Everybody's just looking. Yeah, yeah. Sorry, guys. Quick, carry it away. And that's what's causing outrage on the internet overnight. The hits.

The Jono and Ben podcast. The weekend, the big Glastonbury Music Festival was on. Avril Lavigne, Shania Twain, Coldplay were performing as well over a couple of days. They looked pretty epic. And Coldplay, a wonderful moment where they brought out Michael J. Fox to play guitar with them. Have a listen.

One who just totally rocks With his Chuck Berry riff And the way he punched Biff Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Michael J. Fox. And then he came out. This is Michael J. Fox playing guitar. He's hitting it on the guitar. Yeah, he's like shredding on the electric guitar as well.

So pretty, pretty awesome moment. Because he doesn't, you know, he's obviously struggling with his Parkinson's disease. So, yeah, it was awesome. I didn't know he'd be able to play guitar physically. Yeah, he was in a wheelchair. But, yeah, just a beautiful, beautiful moment over the weekend. Got to love Michael J. Fox, don't you? Yeah.

And you've got to love Coldplay, too. Nicest guys in music. Nicest slash whitest guys in music. Are you going to go see them? I am. I bet you are. I definitely am. It's me.

Nice guys, white. It ticks all my boxes. It's all brand. Not that I've had a white. It's me. Nice guys, white. It ticks on my boxes. It's all brand. Not that I'm a white, it makes it sound like I'm a racist. He only goes and sees white artists. I was meaning,

oh, anyway. Yeah, I know what you're trying to say. It sounded really racist, didn't it? That's what I meant. I do love Coldplay. I've seen them before. It was an amazing concert. Well, I've seen them on the bands.

Yeah, they line up bands and they have all the things that you can imagine with a big concert with pyrotechnics and all sorts of inflatable balls that glow up and all sorts. It's awesome. Yeah, it's very cool. But most importantly, their wife in their own bed. That's not important.

I don't know why. Anyway, tell you what is important. Getting to the bottom of this issue. Now, Liam, who works in the office, he mentioned something the other day. He was standing standing in the shower and he was thinking to himself how does the shower work now on the surface that seems like a mockable question but he was drilling down on the heat so the heat is here is the water hot and then the cold water cools it down to a temperature that you're suitable with or is the water cold and there's some sort of high-paced heating

system that warms it up now this is a game called we're not allowed to Google because there's an easy solution to find this answer okay we need to check it out to the people no 800 hits and what do you think I'm thinking it's hot and it gets cooled down like it's just sitting in a boiling... Oh, like it's already... To be honest, I haven't given much thought but yeah, now you bring it up.

I'm like, how does that work? But when the power goes out, you don't have hot water, right? So something's heating it. True, you don't have like a little... Oh, I can have a couple of minutes

of hot water because it's hot. Yeah. But it is unfair that it takes ages for it to get hot and then it's cold in an instant.

Okay. This is what we're throwing out to the fine people of New Zealand this morning. Oh, 800, are you on the plumbing game? Or maybe you just know the basic workings of how a shower operates. Is it hot and cooled down or is it cooled down and heated up? And at what point does it get heated up if that's the stage? Is it right next to the shower? You can make it a little bit colder.

You're like, oh, it's too hot. It's just a little bit colder. So do you just let more cold in? Or like, it's very fast. Okay, okay. Sometimes you're on that, you know, like when you go to a shower and you're just on that nice edge of either Antarctic cold or hellfire hot.

You know, there's just a teetering on the balance there. Or when someone's running out of hot water too, like my mum's place up north, you're like, it'll get warmer. It never gets warmer. It just gets colder. It slowly fades out.

You're like, maybe it'll kick back in. No. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. Now, deep into a shower debate here. How does the shower actually work?

The functions, the back end. Is the water hot and we cool it down or is the water cold and we cool it down or is the water cold and we warm it up? And we're not allowed to Google. That's the only rule with this phone topic. And we're imagining as we talk about this

without Googling that it's different if you're on gas or if you've got like a heated electricity system. Now Kev, your phone's through. Good morning Kev, it's great to have you on the show. Morning, morning, how are you? You in the plumbing game Kev? I've been doing drainage for a long time. Knows what he's talking about.

Okay. What side of the argument are we on here? The answer is both, really. You've got your hot water cylinder, which stores all your hot water. And in behind the shower that you go hot or cold is a mixer, which allows enough hot water in and enough cold water in to make it the right temperature. Ah, but then you said it works both ways. It works both ways, yeah.

So you've got hot water stored in your hot water cylinder, which stays heated through the element in the cylinder. And then, like I said, there's a mixer in behind the shower, and it just allows you to adjust it to how much hot water you want coming through the pipes and how much cold water you want coming through the other pipes. So what happens if you're on gas and you don't have a big thing like that? Well, gas heats hot water instantly. So it heats the hot water as it goes through.

Oh, so that's just a whole bunch of cold water that's getting warmed up. I see. You sound like an idiot. We do. We do. Kevin's like, you guys are morons. That's amazing. I had to ring up when I see. We sound like idiots. We do, we do. Kevin's like, you guys are morons. That's amazing. I had to ring up

when I heard you. There's a little mixer thingy behind our shower that's like a little bit more hot, a little bit more cold. All right, Kevin,

we're going to hook you up with some hell beats. Are we idiots, Kevin? Are we coming across like absolute imbeciles right now?

To be fair, it was my first thought, but no. Kevin, that's a nice guy. Pretend this conversation never happened alright we'll delete it from the podcast alright Kevin you have a great week we're going to hook you up with some hell pizza ok thanks mate appreciate you coming to our rescue we'll never do that again
