Starting point is 00:00:00 The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Cheers to Dilma, making the world a better tea. Now Ben, we want to bring up something that's somewhat of an intervention with you. You wore a jersey yesterday to work and didn't notice until after the program that maybe you might have committed a Christmas crime six months into the year. Yeah, look, I'll put my hand up and say I don't know if it is a Christmas crime. Now, full transparency, I bought this jumper around Christmas time. It's a Mickey Mouse jumper.
Starting point is 00:00:30 It's a jersey. It's got Mickey Mouse on it. And down the sleeves, it's got either stars or snowflakes. It's in the Christmas jumper sort of world. And I do wear it around Christmas time. But then I'm like, hey, it's not that Christmassy. And it's too hot at Christmas. So now this is the perfect time to wear a jumper like that.
Starting point is 00:00:45 But afterwards, you're like, you're wearing a Christmas jumper. Yeah, you are. Well, the torso screamed Disney, but the sleeves were whispering Christmas. It was beige and red, too. So like, you know, Christmas colours. We checked a poll on social, didn't we? I think we did. What were the results on that?
Starting point is 00:01:02 We threw it out to the people. I think people were okay with it. I mean, yeah, about 70%. I mean, not quite as, I'm not winning the best song ever with these votes or anything like that. But yeah, about 70% said, you can wear it, it's fine. We were all offended. We were like, you'd be less offensive to wear a Make America Great Again hat in here than a Christmas jersey. You know, I'm like full Christmas.
Starting point is 00:01:21 I'm all about it. And I love a Christmas jersey, but not too early. Like that's too early. But it's not. If you want to wear your jersey at Christmas time, fly to the Northern Hemisphere, mate. Yeah. Well, yeah, maybe I will because it's damn too hot to wear a Christmas.
Starting point is 00:01:36 This is the perfect time for Christmas jumpers. You're right. I'm saying this is the time. Midwinter Christmas jumpers in New Zealand. Let's make it a thing, all right? The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. We cross jumpers in New Zealand. Let's make it a thing, alright? The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. We cross live now to New York,
Starting point is 00:01:48 our friend in New York, Nicole Ryan. She's the breakfast host on a radio show over there called SiriusXM Hits. And we can see you over Zoom right now, Nicole, in your office. Is it a whacking great fridge behind you? The fridge, please. I'm in a playroom. This is a
Starting point is 00:02:03 box. Remember, it's New York City. So this is a box oh it's a box new york city so this is a this is there's games in there do you know what nicole yeah if you got the game uh it's called clue over there um the mystery it's called cludo cludo in new zealand i was like the mystery is finding what happened to the o uh yeah i don't know we call it cludo but some reason in america it's clue i don't know it's always been Yeah, we actually just taught them to play that like a couple months ago. Is it called Monopoly over there? Yeah, Monopoly. Connect Four?
Starting point is 00:02:32 Is Connect Four called? Connect Four? Oh, I will F you up in Connect Four. Because we thought maybe we could start teaching you some things from New Zealand, just the little differences. I mean, one, we could teach you like you guys you guys have thongs you wear in summertime, right, as far as on your feet. Jandals.
Starting point is 00:02:50 J-A-N-D-A-L-S. Jandals is the name of that in New Zealand. What? Summertime is jandals? Yeah, you put your jandals on. Yeah, handle the jandal. Yeah. Wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:02:59 So it's jandals time where I'm putting jandals on, not sandals? Yeah, it's like sandals with a J. Yeah, we don't call it jandals time, though. putting jandals on, not sandals. Yeah, it's like sandals with a J. We don't call it Jandals time, though. Do you also call them flip-flops? No, but we understand what a flip-flop is. Okay. But a thong over here is a G-string.
Starting point is 00:03:16 Yes. No, a thong over here is also a G-string. Okay. But you can, yeah, it is also like a thong. Oh, it's Cisco. Cisco had me in that song, didn't he? It's a thong song. It's a of that song, didn't he? Thong song. Thong song, didn't he? Not about jandals. Not about jandals.
Starting point is 00:03:28 You've got fanny packs over there. Oh, yeah, that one always makes me laugh. Different connotations over here are fanny. Oh, that's a fupa over here. Yeah, so we call it like a bum bag or a belt bag or something like that. But a fanny pack always makes us laugh. Yeah, I mean, it's the lamest sounding term ever, fanny pack. I mean, they are pretty lame.
Starting point is 00:03:48 Well, we could talk for hours about the differences. We've got Nicole with us from New York. The Olympics, what a spectacle, isn't it? You've got the celebrities, obviously the athletes, well, they're contractually obliged to be there, but hasn't it been awesome? Yeah, it really has. And it was funny because I was talking to one of my friends
Starting point is 00:04:04 who was like, the Olympics are so lame. Like, the Olympics are for people who, like, don't watch, like, real sports, like football and basketball and baseball during the year. I was like, are you kidding? I so look forward to the Olympics. It's so fun. The girls' gymnastics team for me is the thing
Starting point is 00:04:18 that I look forward to the most. It's just unreal. Simone Biles is, she's phenomenal. I know. We just found out that they're naming a sixth move after her. Yeah, I just watched it. It's on the bars? Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:32 So they have, she has something on each apparatus now. Like they have like a move named after her on the bars, on the floor, on the beam, and on the vault, which is kind of badass. It's really bad. You know you've done well when they've decided to name a cool move after you. The other star-studded team, the U.S. men's basketball team. Yes. LeBron James.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Steph Curry. Steph Curry. You name it, they're all there. Do you get to interview basketball players? No, I don't. Oh, we had Shaquille O'Neal once. Oh, that's cool. Shaquille O'Neal once. Oh, that's cool. Yeah, which was very cool.
Starting point is 00:05:07 He's very large. His hand is so big that it can like palm your head, which is kind of daunting. He's just like a big, like stuffed animal. Like you just want to hug him. He's a really nice guy. Speaking of Simone Biles, have you seen that photo of Simone Biles next to Shaquille O'Neal?
Starting point is 00:05:24 Yes. Yes. Yes. She's like up to her knees. Yeah, she's like 4'8 or something. I knew she was short, but that's next level short. Wow. I did just see she's had to clap back because she's the greatest of all time, right? She's an incredible athlete.
Starting point is 00:05:38 Amazing. But she's had to clap back at people who are hassling her hair on social media. Her hair? Okay, I'm not gonna lie and i love me some simone i did actually say that out loud to my family when we were watching i feel like i not like and i would never say anything to her but i just was questioning i feel like you were on there you're in these like amazing leotards like you're like ready to go hairs braided or slicked back and i feel like hers looks like she just like threw it up like
Starting point is 00:06:04 like like i could do that hairdo. I feel like you don't even want it done pristine for the freaking Olympics. She's done a, I'm 15 minutes late for work hairdo. Yeah, fair enough. She said it's also like 9,000 degrees. So she's like, I did it. But then the humidity's got to her. So currently right now I'm having a look when we're talking to you guys,
Starting point is 00:06:22 America, USA, 26 medals. Have a guess how many you think New Zealand's won at the Olympics so far. Oh, no. I'm going to 15. That's so generous. Thank you. So generous. Maybe by the end of it, we've got two.
Starting point is 00:06:37 Currently we've got a silver in the triathlon and one gold. Amazing performance by our Women's Sevens rugby team, which was incredible. But, you know, just one. You're very stuck on quantity, though, Ben. He's so like... But what else is there? It is about quantity, right? That's what the Olympics are.
Starting point is 00:06:55 What we tend to do as a very small nation at some point during the Olympics, we'll start to break down the medal wins per capita. And then that really puts us sort of inside the top 20. Yeah, we have like 5 million people in New Zealand. So we're like, oh, that's pretty good. 10 medals for 5 million people.
Starting point is 00:07:11 You do whatever you need to do to make yourself feel better. But I mean, it really isn't fair when you're like, you don't have as many people. So there's not as many options. No. So you know what? You guys get the participation trophy. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:07:23 Oh, Nicole, lovely catching up with you again. And we'll speak next week, Nicole. Thank you. Oh, Nicole. Lovely catching up with you again. And we'll speak next week, Nicole. Thank you. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. As I mentioned before, probably the worst email crime I have committed. Been emailing for, how long has email been around? Well, we've been active on it for 20 years or so. It's been around a while, yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:39 I feel like you've had a few faux pas. We hit you up about always replying or being like legends to everyone. I've stopped that now. You notice I've stopped that now you notice I've stopped that because you made me all self conscious about that you just fire them off in a frenzy yeah
Starting point is 00:07:51 a barrage of emails Megan and I know about it because often we're on the same email so all of a sudden bing bing bing bing bing bing it's all coming through very erratic
Starting point is 00:07:58 very erratic but yeah I write a lot of my messages in caps they start in caps and then the final, because I'm not looking at the screen that ends in a lowercase letter, I'm like, oh, I don't know how to change that. Isn't there a highlight and a hotkey?
Starting point is 00:08:13 Probably. I think there is. Pry's a little bit more work. He's like, don't worry about it. As long as you're getting the message, that's the main thing. Who cares about the formatting? But yeah, big crime yesterday. Now, Ben, this was a business transaction going back and forth between,
Starting point is 00:08:27 you were on the email, I guess, between us and a lady in Australia. This is trans-Tasman faux pas, too. So don't even know this woman. No. Have no idea who she is. Well, you do. I mean, you know that someone that we'd like to get to know, someone you want to impress, right?
Starting point is 00:08:43 And I'd finished the email. And then afterwards I was like, oh, I might try and find out a bit more information about her, you know, just her work history. You do it on a background check? Yeah, as you would. Do you do those? Yeah, catch a vibe on someone.
Starting point is 00:08:58 And, you know, so next time you're having small talk, you can bring something up. It's also quite helpful too, because we had to do something the other night, John and I, I we didn't know we hadn't met the person we had to be reminded what's that person look like
Starting point is 00:09:08 and we both sort of screenshotted a photo and then we both showed each other and we're like totally different people so one of us was totally wrong by the name
Starting point is 00:09:15 we're like oh it's either this person or this person we don't know you were right I think I was right at the end but it was like very hard I was looking for a
Starting point is 00:09:21 completely different person never found them but that is a great that's a pro of the internet, is you can find out about people just in a split second. So anyway, I Googled this person, and it popped up with a website and all of the work history and all of her wonderful career achievements. I'm like, oh, that's interesting. I thought to myself, she's done some stuff.
Starting point is 00:09:41 So I copied the link, and I was like, I'll send it on to Ben, because you'll be interested to know that she's done some stuff. So I copied the link. And I was like, I'll send it on to Ben, because you'll be interested to know that she's done some stuff. And so I copied the link, pasted it into email and wrote, wow, she's done some stuff, and sent it off. And then I went, oh dear God,
Starting point is 00:09:59 I've just sent her biography back to her. She's done some stuff. She's done some stuff. She's done some stuff. At least it was complimentary. It could have been worse. Yeah, you're right. Who is she? She's got nothing to her name.
Starting point is 00:10:14 I haven't heard back from her and I'm thinking if I was her I would have come back and gone yeah, she has done some stuff. That lady has done some stuff. In those moments you're like, okay, what are my options here? Calm, breathe deep. You again resort to Google and you're like, can I suck back emails? Can I siphon them back from the inbox?
Starting point is 00:10:33 You can, but I've only realized that I should search this sort of two minutes after I've sent the email. Gmail gives you 30 seconds max. You can suck it back out of your inbox. Because I've got on my gmail a 60 second delay because i've had the same thing sent out email before and i can cancel it within 60 seconds which is quite handy as you can undo yeah because i've done the same thing i someone had a bill through and i went to go to my wife go this guy was he thinking with his buddy bill
Starting point is 00:10:58 blah blah blah and sent it straight back to him and then i was like oh no googling frantically like you what can i do and he goes and he replied back i'll tell you what i'm thinking this is a this is what the this is the cost for this thing if you want to oh god he wasn't meant to see this we're talking behind your back to me mate well you try and pull things back sounds great all sounds about board Yeah He's like He's dropped now That I've
Starting point is 00:11:27 Seen the message Oh god I just wanted to Burn my computer And change my name And move overseas Did you send another email Being like
Starting point is 00:11:35 Oh sorry No I just left it So I think You know That lady has done some stuff But it sounds like She's not going to be Doing stuff with us
Starting point is 00:11:41 The hits The Jono and Ben podcast Gold, silver and bronze in the rowing. It was incredible to watch. Just three great performances. Yeah, it was a great privilege actually earlier in the show, just after six o'clock, for us to be able to speak to the silver medal winner, one of the silver medal winners, Olly McLean,
Starting point is 00:11:59 who was one of the men's Coxless Four rowing team, and I had a chat to him. Hey, Jono, Olly him. Hey, Jono. Ollie here. Hey, Ollie. How are you, mate? Good, good, good. How are you?
Starting point is 00:12:08 Good. Well, you're doing great, man. Congratulations. Silver, that's incredible. Yeah, no, I'm pretty stoked. The boys and I were over the moon. I bet you were. But what were you hoping for?
Starting point is 00:12:19 Oh, gold, of course. Jono. You know. That's a serious, serious one. Full credit to the Americans. Yeah, full credit to the americans yeah full credit to the americans but i mean i'd be stoked with silver i'd be stoked with bronze to be honest but yeah i guess you're always aiming for gold i guess that's why you do what you do yeah with the amount of hours we put into this you've got to go for gold uh what was the race last night the americans i think it's the first
Starting point is 00:12:43 time they've won gold in rowing for, I think, well, years and years, right? It was such a close race between you two. How exhausted? Like, I know it's probably another stupid question, but how physically exhausted? Because you guys train all the time, but how exhausted are you at the end of a race like that? Yeah, after a race like that, you can't really beat,
Starting point is 00:13:00 you can't really do anything and, you know, there's so many emotions going, especially at Olympic Games and Olympic Final. You're just trying to get blood back into your head, that fissure in your legs. You've got lactic acid pumping through your body. As you get the body moving again, it all comes back,
Starting point is 00:13:18 and that's when we realize, honestly, what we've done, and we're super stoked with it. Well, we are all so proud of you. Now, Megan. Hi, Ollie. Dabbled in a bit of rowing. Hey, Megan. Dabbled in a bit of rowing. Hey, Megan. Dabbled in a bit of rowing over her time, so we'll hand it over to her. Do some rowing jargon. You know, some insider chat there, Megan. Impressive.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Well, I remember 2,000 metres, but you know, like, you pace yourself and you do your hard strokes, but then by the time, it looked like the Americans at the end, there was no, like, pacing. You were just flat out. From what point do you reckon i think we knew about four inches to go we started moving on them and that's when we made our move you know it's the
Starting point is 00:13:50 olympic final like we got to go so we just honestly started going for it then we we were moving on them moving on them i think we're almost even with them but uh again uh the americans just had that little bit of extra gear and you know that and that's how they managed to get us. What do you say? Are you guys all yelling at each other, inspiring each other? Is one person talking? How does it work on the boat? So Logan, who's our two-seat, he's the man with all the calls.
Starting point is 00:14:16 He's the one that looks around, see where we're at, if we need to make any moves on cruise, any rhythm calls. He's the man that will lead the boat. If I need to say anything, I will. I think, yeah, again, when we hit into our last 300, 250 metres, I was saying, believe, believe. You know, we can do it, we can do it. But there's not much you can say when your heart rate's at about 190, 200 plus.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Wow. The finesse of a four is amazing because these guys have one oar. So if one person is stroking harder than the other, the boat turns. So they have to be completely in sync because it's coxless. These guys are like, it was incredible to watch. I mean, that's the beautiful thing about four. It's all about symmetry and cohesion. And we're still a youngish crew.
Starting point is 00:15:01 We've only been together for about 18 months. So we've just wanted to fucking – sorry. We just wanted to – I love it. I love it. The raw emotion. I mean, you've won an Olympics. You've nailed it.
Starting point is 00:15:13 Can I ask a question? Because I watched a few medal ceremonies at the Olympics. Everyone gets their medals, which is incredible. But everyone gets handed like a box, and it looks like maybe it's hogwarts wand or something inside it like that's that sort of shape what is inside that box so it's a poster but i haven't actually i haven't actually rung it out yet so i'm looking forward to opening it up feels like a very extravagant packaging for a poster yeah and i'm just like what's in the box what are they all getting so
Starting point is 00:15:39 yeah yeah i'm looking i'm looking forward i have no honestly have no idea what it looks like so you'll be getting the blue tech and sticking that up on the wall. So what happens afterwards? You get your medal, which must have been so emotional. And then what happens after that? So I actually had a drug test. That was a pain in the ass. Is that like peeing into a cup sort of situation?
Starting point is 00:16:03 That's what it is, right? Yeah, I had a guy watching me pee in a cup for a minute. You're like, don't have just one silver. This isn't how I expected to celebrate. Is he like, if you're at the urinal, is he like standing, staring? Is he just watching? Yeah, I have to drop my pants to my knees. I have to lift my shirt to my nipples.
Starting point is 00:16:25 That's really old school. You're a five-year-old kid at primary school, right? That's what I used to drop my pants to my knees. I have to lift my shirt to my nipples. That's really old school. Like you're a five-year-old kid at primary school, right? That's what I used to do. Yeah. Peeing old school, baby. That is it. And all I can keep thinking is those drug testers have seen the genitals of some of the finest athletes this world has ever produced.
Starting point is 00:16:42 They'll be watching TV. They'll be like, seen his, seen hers, seen that. Or they might be professional. Yeah, I imagine they would be professional. They're definitely comparing and contrasting as well.
Starting point is 00:16:54 You don't want to be coming straight after you, you sprinter. Hey, Ollie. Yeah, no. So nice to talk to you.
Starting point is 00:17:01 Congratulations. As we've said many times, we're all so proud of you guys. It was incredible to watch. So well done. Awesome. Thank you so much, guys. Really appreciate it.
Starting point is 00:17:09 The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Time for a good bit of advice. Now, this is something you were playing yesterday off the radio to us. And we're like, we need to get this on the radio. Because, yeah, there's a lot of help that goes around on social media, those things. You watch these inspirational videos. I am starting to detest successful, muscly, good-looking people of help that goes around on social media though things you watch these inspirational videos i i
Starting point is 00:17:25 am starting to detest successful muscly good-looking people telling me how to live my life yeah listen i'm never going to be as good as you i'm okay with that i'm 42. i i watch so many of these and i'm like oh yeah implement that but most of them i never do this is one word and it's just a word you say that you can change out for another word that will change your outlook on life. So this is probably quite good. As I said before, it's middle of winter. Things are a little bit bleak. The economy's not great.
Starting point is 00:17:51 All that sort of stuff. So maybe this is a fresh way of thinking about things from actor Reese Witherspoon. Yeah. He was waiting for a train at the train station and he said, you know, I decided this morning instead of saying I have to wait for the train. He's like, I get to wait for the train he's like I get to wait for the train and I get to wake up in the morning and I get to shower myself and I get to pick out my own clothes and I get to go somewhere really special for lunch and I get to have lunch with my friend and I get to go home and I get to get in my cozy bed changing I have to do I get to
Starting point is 00:18:22 I get to come to work every day with three of my mates. You can choose. There's four people here. Four of us all looking around. Who doesn't make the count? Come, Glenn. I miscounted. That's fine.
Starting point is 00:18:37 Wow, okay. It's gone from a really motivating thing to something far less motivating for one of us. But as we all look around, like, okay. I do love Reese Witherspoon. I feel like she's one of those celebrities you watch and you're like, I would be great friends with Reese. You know, she needs me in her friend group.
Starting point is 00:18:53 She doesn't. She doesn't, though. If only she accepted me in her friend group, boy, we would have had it all. Don't you think? Yeah. She's just lovely, really bubbly. And friends with Cameron Diaz. When they hang out, I'm like, I could be the third.
Starting point is 00:19:04 You could be there. They just need you and a few, you know, sucking back a few savvies. Yeah. I reckon they'd say some inappropriate stuff after. Oh, yeah. I think so, yeah. Yeah, but that's good advice. Change I have to, to I get to.
Starting point is 00:19:16 That's, yeah, really, really good advice to take that. I get to pay taxes. Yeah, lucky. Oh, that's a privilege. That is a real privilege. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. taxes. I'm lucky. Oh, that's a privilege. That is a real privilege. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
Starting point is 00:19:27 Now, Megan, you've been, well, you told us about a little bit of an embellishment, a little bit of a lie that you've
Starting point is 00:19:33 told your kid for a good reason. One of those things when you, before you're a parent, you're like, I will never do this.
Starting point is 00:19:38 And then it gets to being a parent and you're like, just breaking all your own rules. You're caught up in a bloody web of lies at the
Starting point is 00:19:43 moment. Before you're trying to tell us the Olympic flame's been burning since 1896. I thought that was legit. Now, what have you done here? So, we always said we'd never lie to our kids, we'd just be honest, but... Honesty's never the best policy. They always go, honesty's the best policy.
Starting point is 00:19:58 There's not many occasions in life you'll learn this. It's probably the most awkward policy, isn't it? And our almost four-year-old, he just doesn't want to do anything at the moment, especially wear his new shoes. So he's got tatty old shoes, but he's got new ones that are bigger that he can wear, but he just refuses to. He likes the old ones, okay. So we've resorted to everything to try and get him to wear them.
Starting point is 00:20:20 But the thing that I think has worked is I told him they had magic powers now my best friend comes over and she gets him to do things by telling him she's got magic powers so she's mind effing him love it yeah she um she sent him a video and she told him that his new shoes will make him run faster oh so you've wrote your friend into this well he only believes her listen to me well you'd listen to a magician, wouldn't you, mate? Megan? I think mummy may have spilled the beans already. But before I left the other day, I did something a little sneaky.
Starting point is 00:21:03 And I put some of my magic powers into your new shoes. Now, you can't tell anybody about this because this is going to make you run so fast. Now, this is amazing your friend's done this, but if she has magic powers, get her to help out our Olympic athletes before your son. I mean, anyone won't run it faster. Zoe Hobbs, she's getting into the 100 metres, isn't she? Zoe's wearing her good shoes, isn't she? She doesn't need help in that regard.
Starting point is 00:21:31 Do you think Basti's like, why is she telling me this? Why is this just going to weigh me down and sit on my conscience? I'm not allowed to tell anyone that mum's best friend's got magic powers. She's putting them in my shoes. Is he wearing the new shoes? He wore the shoes. Yes, that's good. Good result.
Starting point is 00:21:44 A good result. I mean, it's not going to hurt anyone. I asked him yesterday if he ran fast and he was like, yeah. So I think he is keeping it a secret. Okay, the evil lies that you've told kids. Maybe you were told as a kid. Also, I saw one recently online. I don't think I'd do this. This seems a little bit mean.
Starting point is 00:22:00 But a woman was telling her kids that if they're good all week for five days, then she'll let them have two days off. Yeah, so if they go to school, whatever it is, go to daycare, you're good for five days, you get two days off it. That is genius. That's a great point. Eventually you grow up to a point where you're like, well, if I meander through five days of work, I still get the two days off anyway.
Starting point is 00:22:18 You're like, wait, everyone's always had these for free? Talking about the little lies you told your kids after megan you got your friend you roped in your friend to be part of your web of lies she uh told my son that she'd put magical powers into his new shoes i think mommy may have spilled the beans already but before i left the other day i did something a little sneaky and I put some of my magic powers into your new shoes. She can come to my house and put some grand remedy in mine if possible. Very nice. You get the moment.
Starting point is 00:22:55 I don't know if you ever get the moment where Basti or some will realize that that's obviously a lie. The trust is gone then forever. I did have a moment with my daughter because when she was young my wife she's got her uncle's got a place in the Gold Coast and we used to be able
Starting point is 00:23:10 to stay for holidays for free you know there we could go over and stay in this apartment so we stayed a couple of times when they were young we went to Dream World
Starting point is 00:23:17 and there's like Wiggles World my daughter loved Wiggles you know we'd be like you go up to the Wiggles door if you knock the Wiggles might come out come out
Starting point is 00:23:23 that's what we'd always say to her so every day she'd knock we got like a week past she'd knock not today didn't come out oh she'd knock to the Wiggles door if you knock the Wiggles might come out come out that's what we'd always say to her so every day she'd knock we got like a week past she'd knock not today didn't come out oh she'd knock again
Starting point is 00:23:29 hello Wiggles and yeah obviously the Wiggles are on tour they're not going to come out last year we took her back for the first time she was like hey you guys used to make me

Starting point is 00:23:44 the logistics of a tour now The wiggles and that You silly dumb kid You were knocking on that door For a week I don't know She's like Colin you made me
Starting point is 00:23:52 Knock on that door Multiple times There's always that one Everyone bangs on about The Mr Whippy ice cream Oh yes What's that If the siren is sounding
Starting point is 00:24:00 The green sleeve song Then it means Mr Whippy's run out of ice cream Yes Which Is true. Jono. Riddled is true, but also riddled with plot holes where you're like, if the kids
Starting point is 00:24:12 just think about it for a second and go, hold on, why would a guy drive around just going, hey, I'm out of stock. I'm out of stock, just so you know, out of stock. It's like an ambulance. It's like an emergency. Guys, I'm an ice cream guy without... But then he's there with stock. He doesn't make a noise.
Starting point is 00:24:29 You're right. Need to ask some questions, kids. We're going to get Kirstie on the show. Good morning to you, Kirstie. Good morning. How are you guys? We're doing well. It's lovely to have you on.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Happy Friday to you. Yay, yeah. Full of enthusiasm. Love it. All right. What's the web of lies you told your kids? So my daughter is now 12, but when she was little, like four or five years old, we used to tell her that if she told lies that her nose would grow like Pinocchio. So when she was about to start saying something that might have been a little bit untrue,
Starting point is 00:25:05 she would put her hand over her nose. Just checking it's not growing. Or applying pressure to not let it grow. Yeah, yeah, just kind of pushing it back in. It's a good tell for you. She'd be terrible at the casino, wouldn't she? Like trying to bluff anyone. But a good tell for you when you're like, oh, she's definitely lying about this.
Starting point is 00:25:22 Great, cool. Appreciate it, Kirsty. Thank you for listening. No worries. Thank you. Thanks for contributing. Great. Yeah, messages on Facebook on the Hits Breakfast.
Starting point is 00:25:30 I love this one. If you don't dry yourself properly after a bath, we told our kids you'll grow mold. They still take their time to dry themselves properly. Well, as a kid, you'd believe it. You can really torture some childhoods, can you? Yeah. This one from Teresa. My son wears glasses, but at a young age,
Starting point is 00:25:45 we would con him and said, if I eat all your veggies, you won't have to wear glasses anymore. But then he got to eight and he started saying, these veggies must be outdated because they aren't working on my eyes. Still can't see.
Starting point is 00:25:55 And one great text here, the irony of telling a lie to a kid about lying. Oh, yeah. They had a system where they said, if you lie, there'll be a blue dot on your head. It just appears and you can't rub it off. You can't hide from it as
Starting point is 00:26:09 well. And so they went the blue dot theory and worked for many years, about 12 years. 12 years seems a long time to us. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. Flashback Friday on the Olympics. Yeah. Undies. And it's my, my, my. Just chips.
Starting point is 00:26:26 Yeah. Flashback. Looking back through the Olympics, just some of the finest scandals through the Olympic history books. And basically every Olympics has had its scandal. Yeah. Ever since bloody old Hitler decided to host one in the 30s. That's right.
Starting point is 00:26:40 That was problematic. Yeah. But then we always like to focus in, I feel like the media like to focus in like, oh, the buildings aren't going to be finished. It's pollution. You know, we focus on the negative stuff. What's going to happen afterwards with these empty stadiums?
Starting point is 00:26:51 I don't know. I don't care. I'm not going to be watching it. I'm going to talk to the next one. Bowl them. Whatever you want to do with them. But yeah, looking back through some of the scandals, going to take you to 2000.
Starting point is 00:27:04 Sydney, speaking of Australia, hosted the Olympic Games And there was an outcry over an illegal mascot So they had official mascots, which I think were like a platypus and a kookaburra Oh yeah And then some two rogue broadcasters, they decided to have Fatso the Fatass Wombat And it really captured the hearts of the athletes So much so that they were taking Fatso onto the podium with them. Some of the swimmers. To get a medal.
Starting point is 00:27:28 And the head of the Olympic Committee was asked about this. There has been a mascot that some of the Australian swimmers have been carrying in called Fatso the Wombat and there is a suggestion that perhaps the IOC has made some ruling to ban Fatso. I'm not aware of banning Fatso.
Starting point is 00:27:44 But the Australian Olympic Committee banned fatso. Really? Fat shaming the poor wombat as well. Have you seen the mascot for this Olympics? It's the sort of red thing. It looks like a kind of red triangle sort of bell thing. It's, it's, I was like, what is this? It's like a drop of blood or something,
Starting point is 00:27:58 but it's actually like a, from a French hat, traditional French hat with the eyes and stuff. No, but not a beret. Another hat. Another hat. Geez, the hat game is strong. How many hats do they want? I don't know, exactly.
Starting point is 00:28:10 1980, this was a great scandal. Moscow, Russia. So in the stadium, they had these giant, giant doors, and they would shut the doors for other athletes competing in events like Javelin, but then they would open the doors for the Russian athletes because then that would create a wind flow into the stadium and give them an advantage with the javelin. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:31 And they only caught on to it. Everybody else was like, why do they keep opening and shutting these doors? And they clicked onto it when it was too late. 2016, take you to Brazil. Great scandal. You'll remember the toxic green diving pool. Oh, yes, that's right.
Starting point is 00:28:46 In Rio. Yeah, well, did they not put chlorine in it? What happened there? It came out a real toxic shade of green. Old mate, yeah, their chlorine program was out of whack, and they ran out of chlorine, and then algal bloomed. Do you remember it? Yeah, it's like nuclear green.
Starting point is 00:28:59 I just Googled it. Oh, and the pool right next to it is perfectly blue. Yeah. Oh, no. And one scandal involving us. I didn't know we had scandals in our history books. We like to ignore a lot of our scandals, right? We do, and that's the best way to do it.
Starting point is 00:29:14 But 1976, New Zealand caused a mass boycott of the Olympics in 76, and it was when apartheid was happening in South Africa, and the United Nations had told most countries, listen, stay away from South Africa, don't kind of engage with them if they have this apartheid was happening in South Africa and the United Nations had told most countries, listen, stay away from South Africa, don't kind of engage with them if they have this apartheid policy. New Zealand rugby ignored that, did a tour, a rogue tour of South Africa during that time, and 29 countries then protested and said you need to ban New Zealand from the Olympics and the Olympic Committee were like we can't, rugby's not in the Olympics and the Olympic committee were like we can't rugby's not in the Olympics it's out of our jurisdiction and so those 29 countries didn't compete
Starting point is 00:29:48 in the 1976 Olympics because of us because of us did we get more medals per capita probably probably it's a great year
Starting point is 00:29:55 per capita oh jeez the hits the Jono and Ben podcast appreciate you listening now we want to start a topic oh 800 of the hits New Zealand's
Starting point is 00:30:03 biggest winners there's a lot of winners happening at the Olympics at the moment yeah Kelly wants to start a topic oh 800 that's New Zealand's biggest winners there's a lot of winners happening at the Olympics at the moment yeah Kelly wants to be a winner in that competition right
Starting point is 00:30:10 good tie in there Ben Bush New Zealand's biggest competition winners in the industry I'll pull back the curtain we call them prize pigs it's not an offensive term I don't know
Starting point is 00:30:20 I don't see it as a bad term I don't but obviously you do I think it's pretty offensive yeah I'd be offended if someone called me a prize pig I don't know. I don't see it as a bad thing. I don't, but obviously you do. It's pretty offensive. Yeah, I'd be offended if someone called me a prize pig. I don't use that term. No, I use it all the time.
Starting point is 00:30:33 I'm not afraid to say it. But I don't begrudge them. Here's the thing. I'll call them prize pigs, but they are great. People who win multiple prizes on radio stations, they will phone up and they will cry, they will convulse, shudder in their voice on air for like a hell pizza voucher. And that's
Starting point is 00:30:51 all we want as a radio show. We want tears and emotion. And if you can bring that to the radio show, you deserve 320 prizes from the radio station. I think everyone can agree when there's a big prize and you hear someone win it and they're like, thank you. You're like, what? No, give it to me what no and the distortion i love the phone distortion as well yeah well you're right because we don't you know through radio i mean now again we have social videos but we just we can only hear your
Starting point is 00:31:15 voice so we really we really need it in the voice so we can look through the price system and i'm great that person won 35 prizes good on them they're a good performer they're a good winner and what's this is what we want to open up. Oh, 800 of the hits. The most amount of prizes you've won. And I have a theory that there's only so much winning that the universe allows for every individual. And I was in great fear because Guns N' Roses, Sweet Child of Mine, the song that I personally backed for the Best Song Ever
Starting point is 00:31:45 competition that we did over the last three weeks got to the final right got to the final last night against Bryan Adams we're going to be playing the winner
Starting point is 00:31:52 Bryan Adams at 8 o'clock but it got to the final and I was like if the universe is only giving me so many wins
Starting point is 00:32:00 you don't want this to be one of them this is the one you want great to have that one but you're right I was like I manifested for it not to win I was like don't give me this one I don't want this to be won. Is this the one you want? No. I mean, great to have that one, but you're right. Yeah, I was like, I manifested for it not to win. I was like, don't give me this one.
Starting point is 00:32:08 I don't want it. Give me Lotto. Give me something. You got $33 million this weekend. Give me a boat. Yeah. Oh, no, I did get $33 million, but I got Guns N' Roses. Sweet.
Starting point is 00:32:15 You know, the best song ever. I kind of wished it away. Right. I didn't want that one. Okay. What's the best thing you've won? Well, $2,500,000 I won. You won $2,500,000?
Starting point is 00:32:24 Oh, when? Yeah, on a sports bet, a double draw, on a $5 bet. $5 is all I spent. I don't do a lot of betting, but yeah, it was one of those games. It was two games on a day. It was like the Kiwis were playing league, the All Blacks were playing, and I was like, huge odds for both games to end in the draw, and they both had to.
Starting point is 00:32:40 And I was like, ah, I'll put five bucks on it. I think I was at the TAB with my dad, and I was like, put five bucks on it. And then I was like, oh, my God, the I think I was at the tab with my dad and I was like put five bucks on it and then I was like oh my god the first game's a draw second game I've never been more tense than watching
Starting point is 00:32:50 the last couple of minutes of that second game and they both ended up a draw two and a half that is a great one that's the universe but then I was like well maybe sports betting
Starting point is 00:32:57 that's all I'm kind of like yeah I'm probably never going to win again so I kind of very infrequently do it yeah that's you've got one of your wins
Starting point is 00:33:04 it's like cats with their nine lives you've had one of your wins and used it wisely you didnquently do it. Yeah, you've got one of your wins. It's like cats with their nine lives. You've had one of your wins and used it wisely. You didn't use it on, oh well, I've got Guns and Roses, the best song ever. I guess that's a thing. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. I want to talk, the biggest winners, who's won the most amount of stuff? Megan, you were saying while that song
Starting point is 00:33:18 was playing, you won a helicopter flight once. That's cool. Yeah, when I was younger, it was cool, except my dad used to work in helicopters so I actually fly a lot. So's cool. Yeah, when I was younger, it was cool, except my dad used to work in helicopters, so I actually, I'd fly a lot. So it was kind of like, again, do I want to use this
Starting point is 00:33:30 as one of my wins? Probably not. And I don't think I've won much since. Did you use it as one of your wins? Well, yeah, I did take the flight, yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:38 We can't probably, once you've won it, it's probably you can't say, I don't want this now. I know you sound like a dork if you're like, oh, yeah, okay, I'm in a helicopter again.
Starting point is 00:33:47 Did you appreciate it? Not really. Not as much as someone who hadn't been in a helicopter. Probably. Could have given it away. So the biggest winners, you can text 4487. 0800 the hits is the telephone number. Very special listener joining the show now.
Starting point is 00:34:03 We understand phoning in. Phoning in to New Zealand's Breakfast, sitting on the bow of a $100 million superyacht somewhere, floating around. Where are you at the moment, sorry, Jordan? I'm in Sardinia off the coast of Italy.
Starting point is 00:34:18 Oh my god. It doesn't sound as good as a bleak Friday morning where the weather's cold and where we are in New Zealand. Give me Morrinsville any day of the week. What are you doing on a $100 million super yacht off the coast of Italy? I work for a private family, so I'm a service steward.
Starting point is 00:34:40 I do food, drink, oysters, caviar, champagne. Oh, my God. Jeez, and so caviar, champagne, all that jazz. Jeez, and so this family, like I don't want to pry too much into your job and you can only tell us how much you can tell us, but is this family, are they on the boat often or are they there for like a week, a year? How does it work? So they come on for four months a year.
Starting point is 00:35:00 So they came on on the 26th of May and they've been on since. So no days off, no breaks. months a year. So they came on on the 26th of May and they've been on since. So no days off, no breaks. It's about 120 days all up straight through. So we're halfway through now. And then what do you do when they're not there? Is it just your boat? Kind of, yes. But we are
Starting point is 00:35:17 stuck in the crew areas unfortunately. The guest areas are out of bounds once they're on. How big is this thing? Not as glamorous as it sounds. 73 metres. Oh yeah, that's pretty big. That is a big bar.
Starting point is 00:35:29 That is pretty big. Are we, you don't have to name names? We don't have to name names? Celebs? Had some celebs on board? No, no celebs,
Starting point is 00:35:36 no, just a private, humble family. So humble. Humble in Sardinia. Well, that sounds like a win. We are talking about wins today Well, that sounds like a win. We are talking about wins today.
Starting point is 00:35:46 That always sounds like a win what you're doing for a job. But apparently you've had a few wins over the years. Look, I have had a few wins. I do love myself a competition. So it's just in some people's DNA. Yeah, it really is. I won my first radio competition in 2013. I think
Starting point is 00:36:08 it was on the Edge called The Social Games, if anyone remembers it. I do remember that. Were you on the Edge then? Was I? Yeah. I can't remember. I think JJ, Mike and John were doing that part
Starting point is 00:36:22 I believe. I can't really remember. It was 11 years ago now. Time's ticking. What did you win for the social games? What was the price? I won 20 Gs. Oh, my God. She said it's awesome.
Starting point is 00:36:36 20 grand. And is that the only thing you've won? Well, no. So funnily enough, three years later, I think for Mother's Day ZM, which is funny, I'll just say the opposite. Just whoring yourself around the radio stations? Yeah. You're like, you're worse than Ben and me.
Starting point is 00:36:54 Yeah, exactly. We can't talk. We'll work for a few. Yeah. ZM were doing a piece where they were giving a brand new Audi away. And, yeah, I also won that. I won an Audi A1. Was I there then, Jordan?
Starting point is 00:37:11 I feel like you were following me. I can't remember, Megan. I'm so sorry. I will say the producer that gave me the briefcase full of money on the edge had obviously done a transition, and he was also the one to give me the keys to the Audi, which I thought was quite poetic. I think I remember all of this.
Starting point is 00:37:27 So the same behind-the-scenes person was giving you the, oh, my God. James, yeah. Yeah, James. When he handed me the keys, he said, nice to see you again, Jordan. That is phenomenal. What do you put it down to? I have a theory that the people that do win consistently,
Starting point is 00:37:47 you know, and all the people that do win consistently, they just bother entering. Most people don't bother entering and stuff. Yeah. A hundred percent. Hey, listen, really appreciate you taking the time to call through. And you have a wonderful day. The hits.
Starting point is 00:37:59 The Jono and Ben podcast. Incredible 24 hours for the Paris Olympics. We've got a gold, we've got a silver and we've got a bronze. Late last night, New Zealand time in the rowing, so congratulations to all our medalists. Yeah, we crossed to a former netballer and Sky Sports commentator, Courtney Taieri. Forget
Starting point is 00:38:16 Emily and Paddy, it's Courtney. Courtney. Courtney and Paddy. Courtney Taieri, welcome. Oh, Morden, I think it's Morden there. Bonsai here. Thank you againdy, welcome. Oh, Morden. I think it's Morden there. Bonswai here. Thank you again for having me.
Starting point is 00:38:29 Oh, thank you. I mean, I feel like we're not paying you, but we should be. I mean, you've been incredible for us. So thank you so much. Don't thank us. Yeah. You're filling radio breaks, baby. Now, a big couple of days since we last spoke.
Starting point is 00:38:41 New Zealand, deep into the medal tally now, Courtney. It's incredible. Oh, it is. And we just knew once we, I Zealand, deep into the medal tally now, Courtney. It's incredible. Oh, it is. And we just knew once we, I think, got that first medal, we knew it was going to pick up over the next couple of days. And it started with Hayden Wild yesterday. I was lucky enough to be there at the triathlon, which, I mean, excuse my pun,
Starting point is 00:38:56 but it was the most wild race I have ever seen. Love a good pun. What I also love as well, I didn't realize, he's got that special sort of headband as well. That's like, they're worth $400, I heard on the news. They're a special from a Mexican company, and they kind of cool you down as well. They've got some scientific stuff that goes behind,
Starting point is 00:39:14 and you look cool at the same time. You look pretty cool. I did wonder what was on their heads, and then once I realized how much they were, I was thinking, what if they just leave one here, and then I've got one for the rest of the game, because it is hot. But Ben does get swept up in a topical event.
Starting point is 00:39:26 I feel like you're going to turn up to work on Monday with a headband. I have been loving the Olympics. Then you were also there for the Sevens, Black Ferns, Wahine as well. That must have been just emotional, incredible scenes, Courtney. All of the above. And as a former athlete myself, that is one of the most incredible sporting moments I've been able to witness. And I think they just had so many stories like Sarah Hiddany coming back in record time from ACL.
Starting point is 00:39:51 Portia and Tyler, who are two greats of our game, hanging up the black jersey. There was just so much to play for and just the elation on their faces once they knew they had made history and gone back to back. I've never experienced anything like it before. And then the rowers this morning. Incredible. Incredible. We got a gold in the women's double skull. Then we got, was it silver in the coxless for men
Starting point is 00:40:14 and then in bronze for the women. And they were just flowing with medals now, guys. It's great. Too many. Are you like, from a personal standpoint, you know, you're nearly halfway there. Has the novelty worn off yet or are you in still full-flight fizz mode, Courtney? Once you get to the event, you're in full-flight fizz mode.
Starting point is 00:40:33 So at the moment I'm at the BMX and I'm absolutely fizzing. But I tell you what, when you're catching two trains and a bus with all the gear to get here and it's really hot, you feel like you're competing in the Olympics yourself just trying to get through the crowds to get to Mahi. I bet you get back to your accommodation and it's just, you just sit in silence, just staring. Yeah, after the triathlon yesterday, because we were in probably 40 degree heat with the sun beaming,
Starting point is 00:40:54 I was thinking you have to be crazy to be a triathlete. Like I can barely just stand here for all these hours. I was like, right, I'm going back. Had a shower, put the air con on, and you just lay on the bed in silence going, oh, what a day, and I didn't even do anything. Oh, my God. That makes it all that much more impressive.
Starting point is 00:41:10 They were running in 40 degrees. It's crazy what's going on. Now, what I love is there's so many great stories that come out of the Olympics. I don't know if you saw the guy who's gone viral in the last 24 hours, the Turkish shooter. Now, when they're shooting, they seem to have all these specialised lenses, ear protection, one eye sort of with a little flag sort of blacked out as well. He had none of that. He just turned up with normal spec sabres, spectacles, hand in a pocket, and he got silver. It was incredible. It was incredible from Turkey. Everyone's talking about him here. I'd have to say he's a talk of the town.
Starting point is 00:41:40 They were like, he just rocked up, and then I think one of his quotes was, I'm a shooter, I shoot. And we were like, you sure did. You shot your shot and you got silver. He raw-dogged it. Everyone's like, he raw-dogged the shooting and got silver. It was incredible. No help at all. He shot the shot out of it. Is he in the Turkish
Starting point is 00:41:57 mafia or something? I don't know. He just looks like a normal guy that came in and won silver. It was incredible. He's like a Bond villain when he's holding the gun. Hand in the pocket, very casual. So many great moments from that one. The North Korean and South Korean, I think they were table tennis teams getting a selfie together on the podium.
Starting point is 00:42:16 I mean, it's those special moments that the Olympics provide. Oh, absolutely. And I think that at the moment they're saying that's the most significant photo from the Olympics so far. And I think that at the moment they're saying that's the most significant photo from the Olympics so far. And I think you can feel that here. Like I've been feeling it, just it's bringing everyone together. But I think when you see something as significant as that, you go, wow, this is pretty incredible what's happening here and just bringing everyone
Starting point is 00:42:38 around the world together. Everyone thinks it's incredible apart from Kim Jong-un. That's not true. He might have a few red flags when they get back. Okay, let's go. We're heading into the weekend as well. Everyone in New Zealand very excited about a few days to watch. What's on the next couple of days that we can look forward to?
Starting point is 00:42:56 Yeah, we've got some swimming finals in a couple of hours actually. We've got more BMX. We've got more rowing again tomorrow. So hopefully, you know hopefully some more medals, fingers crossed, and then the athletics starts tomorrow too, so you'll have Zoe Hobbs there, Tom Walsh, all the athletes, part of our athletics team competing, which
Starting point is 00:43:13 they're in pretty good contention to be up there in the finals. So, I mean, it's all go. Tomorrow is actually New Zealand's busiest day. I think we've got maybe 29 athletes competing across like 34 events. Yeah, it's incredible. So a busy day on the schedule over here for Team New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:43:33 Well, Courtney, as always, thank you so much for your time and we will badger you next week. Oh, I can't wait for it, guys. I love talking to you. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Friday morning heading into the weekend too. A gold, a silver and a bronze last night in the rowing. It was incredible for the Kiwis.
Starting point is 00:43:49 Who's having the best weekend? Time to find out who's having the best weekend. That's right, mate. Wrap it up. It's like the Oscars. You know, when you go on too long, you get the wrap up. Who's having the best weekend? There we go.
Starting point is 00:44:01 I want to find out who's having the best weekend. Who's having the best weekend? The North Island or the South Island out who's having the best weekend. The North Island or the South Island? I'll just shut up now and I'll throw it over to someone else. Yeah, no, we do do this. With Connor from the South Island representing from Christchurch and the wonderful Hayley from the North Island in Wellington representing the North.
Starting point is 00:44:21 Hayley, you took a sabbatical from the Best Weekend last weekend, we noticed. I did, I was on my sick bed. Thank you for all your concerned emails and phone calls and texts. The fans were wondering. How are you feeling now, Hayley? Are you okay? Too late.
Starting point is 00:44:39 But it's just, you know, and the listeners need to hear this, this is the toll that the Best Weekend has on people. You know, she's dedicating her life to, she's like, you know, and the listeners need to hear this, this is the toll that the best weekend has on people. You know, she's dedicating her life to, she's like, sorry kids, not now, mum's got to look up an over 70s volleyball tournament in Morrinsville. You know, the commitment. It takes its toll on the body, Hayley.
Starting point is 00:44:58 It really does, it really does. And, you know, just the 24 months of slogging really hit me last week. Yeah, well, hey, you need a win. Connor's with us in the studio. We'll get to him in just a second. But what is happening this weekend for the North? Well, we have in the capital a huge, huge festival that happens in the month of August.
Starting point is 00:45:19 So what happened is a couple of years ago, they realised that hospitality was really slow and would struggle every August. So we have Wellington on a plate now every year, which is one of the largest food festivals in the Southern Hemisphere. So it kicked off yesterday. Throughout the month of August we have got 200 different types of crazy burgers. There's 100 different food events. I went to one last night. It was brilliant. We had a drag queen in a song singing over some Venetian food. It was bizarre.
Starting point is 00:45:53 Love it. Amazing. That's my perfect meal. Perfect meal. Well, that's a huge event for Wellington. Do people come from out of town? Oh, yeah. It's huge.
Starting point is 00:46:04 It's massive. And it's now the busiest month of hospitality in the capital, which is amazing. It's gone from being the quietest, most dead time in winter to being the most buzz around it. So that's huge for the North Island. Okay, got that. Anything else for the North?
Starting point is 00:46:18 Yep, equally huge. Masterton, Club White at Upper. They've got Karaoke Joe, who is an absolute local legend behind the mic. If anyone's going to pull off tequila, it would be him. Karaoke Joe. Masterton as well. It's where I grew up. Do you know Karaoke Joe?
Starting point is 00:46:37 You know him. I feel like I would. Masterton's a very small place. So, yeah, okay. Karaoke Joe. Probably slept with your mum back in the day. I think he's my dad. Karaoke Joe, sweet.on to the pants of jenny serenaded her with i'll make love to you by boyz II men or something
Starting point is 00:46:55 just like with the tacky keyboard version of boyz II men and then now you wonder why you're in the entertainment game that's all thanks to Karaoke Joe. All right, Connor, tough ass to follow after that. Is it though? Is it though? Wellington on a plate. Really fleshed out Wellington on a plate there
Starting point is 00:47:13 and just kept Karaoke Joe quite short. In Christchurch, you might remember the old show, It's in the Bag, the old TV show, It's in the Bag. They're bringing it back in Christchurch for one night only at the piano.
Starting point is 00:47:26 Lucky audience members will be called up onto the stage and they get to choose between the bag or the cash now I actually did some research and watched an old episode
Starting point is 00:47:33 from 1989 in Invercargill and Jono was hosting it one of the prizes was a year's supply of petrol guess how much it was valued at
Starting point is 00:47:43 a year a year's supply of petrol. Guess how much it was valued at. A year. A year's supply. How much? $1,500. Whoa. A month for most people, especially in Auckland, right? Yeah, yeah. That was wholesome entertainment.
Starting point is 00:47:54 It's in the bag, it would roll into town and take over the town hall and the, what shall they do? What it up? Take the bag, take the bag. Sleep with Ben's mum. It's the wrong time. It's the wrong show, guys. Hence why this event is R16.
Starting point is 00:48:10 This event is R16. And we'll finish at the Remarkable Ski Area this weekend, the Snow Sports NZ Adaptive Festival. So this has allowed people of all abilities to get into snowboarding, skiing, whatever it is they're keen on doing. Head up the mountain. Have a go. Have a bit of fun this weekend.
Starting point is 00:48:26 There you go. Thank you so much, Connor. And Connor, good luck. He's ground announcing the Warriors tonight. Great job. Great job. At the stadium. So someone needs to decide a winner.
Starting point is 00:48:34 Megan Pappas, you've got some big stuff happening in the north and equally in the south. I'm happy that Hayley's feeling better. But Connor did research. Yeah. What's in the bag? He watched all the episodes of It's in the Bag. Yeah, okay.
Starting point is 00:48:46 I watched a drag queen in a song, Dry Humper Floor. Oh, yeah. Dry Humper Floor.
