Episode Date: September 16, 2024

ON THE SHOW TODAY: Ben has 13 of WHAT?! This crazy new scam! Is this Olympian primary school record still standing? I found another women's panties in my partners washing... Jono does not understand remotes! Is summer ever coming? We talk to an expert Facebook: The Hits Breakfast with Jono and Ben Instagram: THEHITSBREAKFASTSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Cheers to Dilma, making the world a better team. I know when the Olympics were on, remember the Olympics? Some time ago, we had the Paralympics as well, which was amazing. But we started a torch towards the end of the Olympics. A dolphin torch that we found around the office. The batteries were used, we thought it would run out after a couple of days and people could predict when they thought it was going to run out to win $500.

It's become torture, hasn't it? This torture that just will not die. It is like that battler grandparent. Well, they're definitely going next week, and they're still here three or four years later. That's the same thing. It's hanging in there right now. It felt like yesterday it was dimming.

It's kept in reception here with our 24-hour security team, just to keep an eye on it. When it does run out, if you predict the closest time to when it runs out at the Hits Breakfast on Facebook, you can win $500. Yeah. Is Gunjan on today? Gunjan? Yes, yes, yes.

I can see him through the window here. Is he listening to the radio show at the moment? Gunjan, if we could please get a sign that the torch is either dead or alive. He's talking to someone at reception. Someone's coming with a big ladder. He's doing his job. He's very distracted right now. How dare he.

Gunjan! Gunjan! Gunjan! Gunjan! Yeah, I know. It's soundproof. Doors, windows. I can't just yell at him and I I mean if he was listening on the radio right now

Megan sort of making some sort of waving arm movements trying to get us good job Okay Now he's gonna pull the tea keeps the torch hidden underneath the desk. Oh, yeah in a box. He's trying to deal with this person. He's got thumbs up right now to us at the moment. Here we go. He's brought out the torch. It's still going. It's still going. It does feel like the doctor said it's got six days to live and now it's gone on for six years. It's really... Amazing. Amazing thing for survival

that torch, you know? If you have one of those and you're out, you know, and you need it to survive, it's great to know that the dolphin torch just keeps going. Get one for your civil defense pack. You don't even need to turn them off. No. Let's leave all of our torches on.

Just keep it going. Actually, I saw this thing yesterday I thought was quite good, and I thought I wanted to mention it on the radio. And, you know, the chances of this happening, very unlikely, I get it. But if you're ever lost while, you know, hiking or your car maybe is broken down and your phone's about to run out of battery, and you're like, oh God, what do I do? My phone's going to be, it's my way to keep in touch with people.

Change your voice message. Change your voice message and say, hey, I've run out of petrol. I'm here I am, blah, blah, blah. Or I'm in the bush, the last thing with that, because everyone's going to try and contact you by giving you a call and they'll get your voice message. And if your phone dies, your voice message still carries on, obviously. Great hack.

That's a great hack. I thought I'd just share that with everyone on the radio. So you're not in trouble yet? No, but if you think, jeez, I'm lost in the bush, or I've run out of gas and I think it's getting dark, I don't know, my phone's about to die. Why don't you just call emergency service? Well, if you've tried all that first as well. He's trying to come call like emergency service? Oh, okay.

He's trying to come up with a hot fire survival tip here. So why are you using the last bit of battery to change your voice now when you could call like 111? Or like the emergency services. I thought that was obvious, but anyway. Sorry, yeah, just clarifying. So you're saying you've done all the other admin and you've got to the point where you're like, oh.

So 111 didn't pick up to help you everything else you can just say yeah maybe you're out of service or whatever you know so yeah I thought it was a good little hack it's a great little hack

Ben I'm sorry that Megan cut your little hack down it's great when have you ever gone bush well he's meaning for other people who like to go bush you know

we used to go tramping you know a wee bit. Who would you trust to survive out of both of us? Jono. No, I'm terrible. Honestly, I want to front foot it. I'm a shocking survivalist.

But out of the two of you, both of you are shocking. But he doesn't even, like, do anything handy around the house. No, that's true. Nothing at all. You've got a bit more mongrel in you, you know? Yeah, good for me. He'd be like, that's true. Nothing at all. Yeah, you're right. You've got a bit more mongrel in you, you know? Yeah, good for me. Ben would be like, ah, no!

I wouldn't mind like, I'd catch a kiwi and slowly choke it to death so we could eat. That's the sort of stuff I'd be willing to do. Ben would slowly die and be like,

I don't want to hurt the kiwi. No, exactly. No one does. Too nice. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. What have you thrown out of your partners?

Or what is your partner? You know, basically, what have you thrown out or have we had thrown out for you? Because I think my wife may have thrown thrown out of your partners? Or what is your part? What, you know, basically what have you thrown out? Or have we had thrown out for you? Cause I think my wife may have thrown out something of mine, my sock. Excuse me, Amanda, because we are on the hunt nationwide hunt,

a sock hunt. For Ben's missing sock. It's his lucky sock. We have missing posters out there in the, in the streets, don't we? Yeah. We're getting the word out there. We're trying to match. You'll find a match. It's like lucky sock. We have missing posters out there in the streets, don't we? Yeah, we're getting the word out there. We're trying to find a match.

It's like sock Tinder around the country. I'm glad I'm the one that stumbled, not you, on that before. Under the hits though, what have you had thrown out or what have you thrown out of your partners? And we've got a Cadbury pack to give away, which is pretty awesome as well because Cadbury are doing Cheer on Tour by any Cadri confectionery product. But for the 6th of October, you could win two trips

to see the All Blacks Northern Tour Games in the island of France, which is awesome. Would you like to go through and accuse your wife of throwing out the sock? Yeah, let's give her a call right now. Good morning, Amanda speaking. Good morning. We're just calling about the sock. The sock. Ah.

The sock. Good morning, Amanda. Yes. Have you thrown it now? It's your chance. You're live on the radio right now. Seems like a good chance to come clean. Yeah, have you thrown out the sock?

It's on its last legs. Oh, that was a good one, wasn't it? That was a good one. That was a good one. Well, yeah. But it'll be a monstrous act to just throw out one single sock. I'm over it, though. We've got a whole bloomin' container of missing socks or lost socks.

I'm really hopeful they'll come back, but they don't seem to come back. We don't really match them up. But, Mandy, you've thrown out stuff of mine in the past, haven't you? No, not me. Never, no. Don't want to do that. I feel like if you found out. You're in the past haven't you i mean the no not me never no no i told you that i feel like if you're in a safe space a few of my figurines and stuff like that toys sometimes go missing no no they just maybe just i don't know um they yeah there's a history yeah there's a

checkered history what funko pop a figurine did you find in the bin oh i found a few in the bed i found stuff I'm pretty sure I had Woody from Toy Story and things like that but they're gone they're gone and I mean

I know in the movies Woody from Toy Story gets up and walks so maybe that's what happens in real life so pretty big pretty big accusation he's downloading content

that his wife I can't handle here accusing her of throwing out one sock why wouldn't she throw out a pair if she was... Yeah, I guess they're probably not. I'm just trying to go through, just tick off everything. To be fair, there's probably things higher up in the list

that she'd throw out first rather than your sock, which can be hidden. Are you talking about me? No, I was talking about some of your matching suits. Oh, right. It sounded like you were talking about me there, Megan. Your fresh Prince of Bel-Air suit. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I got some shorts and stuff like that. You love all that sort of stuff, right. It sounded like you were talking about me there, Megan. Your fresh Prince of Bel-Air suit. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, I got some shorts and stuff like that. You love all that sort of stuff, Amanda. Oh, my God. He's got like 13 pairs of swimming shorts. 13 swimming shorts? 13 pairs. I counted them one day. You never know when you're going to go swimming.

You've only got one body. And if you do, what are you going to wear? I mean, what sort of conditions is that? Yeah, you're going to go swimming 13 times in a day. Do I want swimming dogs with bananas on them? Do I want swimming dogs with Will Smith's face on them? See, that's what I mean. When there's other things to throw out, it should be those first.

Then get on to the socks. You don't know what mood you're going to be in when you want to swim, do you? That's right. Yeah. Okay. Well, I can tick that. Sorry, cross that off the list. Amanda hasn't thrown out the sock. You'll keep an eye out for it though, Amanda? That's right. Yeah. Okay. Well, okay. Well, I can tick that up. Sorry. Cross that off the list. Amanda hasn't thrown out the sock.

You'll keep an eye out for it though, Amanda? Um, okay, great. All right. Trying to wrap this up. Okay.

All right. Have a good day. Oh, 800 of the hits. What you've secretly or not so secretly thrown out of your partners. Maybe there's a holy t-shirt that all of a sudden disappeared from your circulation. A metallic one that you loved. Sounds like something of yours.

Does it sound a little personal? It does. It sounds like for the best. 100 The Hits, 4487. We've got a Cadbury prize pack valued at $30 to give away for our favourite corner. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. The Hits, Jono and Ben, 8.48 on your Tuesday morning. We want to know on 800 The Hits,

what did you throw out of your partner's or did your partner throw out of yours? Well, you are on the hunt for a sock that's gone missing, your lucky pair of socks, and you're accusing your wife Amanda of throwing it out, which seems like an unusual accusation to be honest. Yeah, especially one sock. You're right. Especially when there's so many other things

of yours more offensive that she could throw out. I know. A holy sock though. It could be, but this one wasn't holy, so you're probably right. Especially when there's so many other things of yours more offensive that she could throw out. I know. A holy sock, though. It could be, but this one wasn't holy, so you're probably right. Probably wasn't Amanda. So the nation needs closure.

So we are on a nationwide hunt for the sock, and there's missing posters out there. If you have the matching one, there's a reward. A hundred bucks, a bit of washing powder as well. Chuck that in for good measure. Exactly. But we wanted to know what you've thrown out of your partners or had thrown out for you. Great text coming through. My partner has an ACDC t-shirt. This is one that you'd good measure. Exactly. But we wanted to know what you've thrown out at your partners or had thrown out for you. Great text coming through.

My partner has an ACDC t-shirt. This is one that you'd appreciate, Jono. Had 10 holes in the front of it. Hole so big his nipples would stick out. Oh, come on. The other day I told him we need to get rid of it. He declined. So I stuck my finger in the hole, ripped it some more.

And guess what? He's still wearing it. Legend. That just needs to go missing. Yeah. Wife threw out a pair of my Levi's. I had for over 35 years. She denied it. And then one of my daughters told me it was her. That just needs to go missing. Yeah, my wife threw out a pair of my Levi's. I had for over 35 years. She denied it, and then one of my daughters told me it was her.

That's the thing. That's the thing. There are those items that secretly irk you, aren't they? Have you got anything of Andrew's that you'd like to? No, but my ex-husband, he used to always wear this. You threw him out. Right. Do you see?

He had a bright green jersey that used to, I called it his Kermit jersey And one day I just put it in the wheelie bin And it went Did you say a word? No It just disappeared No it just disappeared This is the thing

People just Yeah we're going to get to these calls Now Catherine you lost what? Or you threw out what? Sorry Good morning No it wasn't me It was my husband

So about It was eight years ago My dad wrote in the last card he'd ever write in and i'm quite sentimental because he passed away five weeks later but it ended up in the kids must have been in the kids crafty um drawer and my husband thought he'd throw it out and it was devastating he didn't actually know at the time but he kind of let me completely clear out the shed and yeah, so it's gone and it was really quite upsetting but

I love him so I forgave him. Yeah, well that's the problem with husbands. Yeah, you have to love them and you have to forgive them. I'm the thrower outer in our house. Are you? When anything goes missing yeah, dude threw it out. I'm like no I didn't. Like I'll vehemently deny it and then just go and sneakily check the recycling or the general waste.

But yeah, 100% of the time, I probably had thrown it out. I just, you know, in a frenzy. Just cleaning stuff up in a frenzy. I'd pick you more as a hoarder than a cleaner-upper. No, no. The opposite of. Now, we're going to get Kirsten on. How are you this morning, mate?

I'm good. How are you? We're doing well. Box of fluffies. What was thrown out of yours? Oh, I threw out my husband's manky pillow. It was about 15 years old and it was brown and it was revolting.

But it had a washing machine accident. Oh, I don't know. It's amazing how many things have accidents. Things that you don't like. Had it gone from yellow to brown? Yeah, it was brown and when all the foam came out in the washing machine, it was brown as well.

It's like biohazardous, really. Yeah, it is. 15 years of the same pillow. He's sleeping on that pillow. And every pillow I've bought since, he just complains. It's just not the same. We're going to hook you up with a Cadbury prize pack. It's valued at $30.

Enjoy that. We'll keep these coming through, actually, shall we? The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. If you want to know, know, 100, the Hits, or 4487, what are you throwing out of your partner's great text? My auntie threw out my uncle's false teeth one night when he was drunk. When he was drunk? Yeah, so he was drunk.

She obviously got rid of those. It's punishment. I guess so. It's great punishment. That is good punishment too. Because you're not fixing that in the afternoon, are you? No. New false teeth.

I see you can buy false teeth off Teemu. Yeah, Teemu false teeth. They look incredible. How do they fit your mouth? Don't ask too many questions. Okay. Yeah, they look like pearly white veneers. Should we order some Teemu false teeth?

Oh my God, yes. Teemu teeth. Here's some other great texts here too. Lots of valuable family heirlooms being chucked out accidentally as well. Lots of garments, not loved garments have been thrown out in secret so the partner doesn't know. But Annalise, what did you chuck out? G'day.

I had a declutter because I'm the declutterer of the house and I threw out the old lunch boxes and my husband's was a bit mouldy a couple days later he was looking for it and I said no I bought you a new one and he panicked and went away a bit white and he said where is it and I said well you ought to put it in the dead sheep hole which he'd lit on fire

the day before and there was $500 cash in the side pocket of it Oh no As soon as you said he went white, I was like, what was in it? Luke, he's $500 in a mouldy lunchbox. We had a client gave it to him. And he said, I'll stick it in there, I won't lose it. But no, it went on fire.

Oh, you burnt it. Oh, jeez. And you do see how people, you mentioned hoarders, how they end up on those documentaries not wanting to throw anything out, just in case. Appreciate it. Good on you, Annalise. Really appreciate it.

And Scott, good morning. What are you throwing out? I threw out a sign that we had at our wedding when we moved house a few months ago. I didn't tell my wife, so, yeah. Oh, you did it on purpose. What was the sign? It was just a massive wooden handmade sign

with our names on it. But we got married seven years ago and it sat in the garage of the old house since. And it was hideous. Yeah, right. So you're like, this thing's got to go. And so does she know you threw it out? No, she doesn't know I threw it out.

I think she thinks the move, I kind of convinced her it was the movers that might have took it. I don't know how she's bought that because why the hell would they want to climb with our names on it? She's pretty filthy about it. Did you think it was hideous when you were getting married at the wedding? Oh, you know, it was just

part of the occasion, wasn't it? Like everything else. He wasn't going to say, that was a brand new marriage. He wasn't going to say anything then. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Now, Megan, you were saying there's a bit of a scam going around. And when you explained it to us yesterday

after the show, we're like, oh my God, I would fall for this. Yeah, so a lot of them, you get a scam and you have to put in your car details. So there's a moment for you to go, should I be doing this? With this one, a lot of people are going to

fall into this trap and I think that's why the police have sent out a message. It is elaborate. I saw this on Facebook but also I got a message, a private email yesterday from people being like watch out for this. So at the moment it seems like it's happening overseas in Australia. I don't

think it's happened in New Zealand yet but this is how crazy it is that they're warning us. This is like COVID. It started over there first, it comes here eventually. Yeah, you're right. So the scam is that they will send you a package to your door. It looks like some sort of parcel, which you'll open. And inside, it's not clear who it's for or who it's from.

So there is a QR code for you to scan to find out who sent the present. As soon as you scan the QR code, this is from the police, it allows the offenders to then access any and all data on your phone or device you use to scan the code, including financial information like your bank account, login details, and personal data. Just from scanning the code. To be honest,

if they are, you know, that's elaborate and if they're going to that length, they deserve full access to our bank accounts and phones. Well, especially if they've bought some sort of gift for us as well. They're investing. They didn't say what the prison is. That's a huge investment. Yeah, how many of those?

So you're allowed to keep the prison, but they didn't say what the present is. That's a huge investment. Yeah, how many of those? Yeah. So you're allowed to keep the present, keep the present, but don't scan the kiwaka. Do we have any idea what the present is? That's what I want to know. Like, what sort of gift am I getting? Oh, so sweet. A new vase or a...

Yeah. I'm like, you know, it's almost worth giving over your details if it's a good gift. It is hard to know what is authentic and what isn't nowadays. You know, back in the 90s, you just had your humble Nigerian prince who was just looking to, so trusting,

wanting to deposit all of his family's fortune into your bank account. And that's all we had to deal with. And we're like, oh, easy. Now, text messaging. You're just getting flooded with them every day. I do get phone calls. I get phone calls every single day. And now I'm worried because there was that one where they were like,

if you talk to them, they record your voice and use it in AI. So now I don't answer anything that's not a phone number I know. All your comments are just like, mm, mm, mm. But you are. You're paranoid about legitimate things, legitimate texts coming through and messages. You're like, oh, I don't know if I should trust this. You don't want to be that idiot that goes, oh, why did you click on this or do that?

We're riddled with misinformation. Do you know a frightening one that I saw yesterday was that on Instagram, they are, you know when you pinch in on photos and zoom in? Yeah. That person will now be alerted when you've been pinching. Oh, no. Are you joking? Isn't that frightening?

What have you been pinching? What have you been pinching? What have you been pinching? How do you know? Yeah. What have you been pinching it on? That seems like a... It came up as a social video, and then I did some further digging, and no, it was just

an absolute elaborate prank, but it had a lot of people very worried about it. Everyone's like, oh, God, what a of people very worried about it. Oh, God. You've been pinched? Oh, okay. I see. Megan's been pinching Ben there. Oh, my God. Does it show you which part you're pinching it on?

Yeah. All the stats. All the stats. But you two look pretty frightened there. David Neeker, the boxer's going to be worried about it. You mean pinch, pinch, pinch, pinch, pinch, pinch, pinch? Getting a few alerts over the last couple of days. That was Ben yesterday.

It was definitely me. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. It's one of the highlights of the Paris Olympics. Hamish Kerr winning the gold medal for New Zealand in the high jump in an epic jump off. Right-handed approach. And he's over at 227.

A digit in the air for Hamish Kerr. And he joins us right now in the studio with this gold medal. Great to have you in there. How's it going? Thanks for having me. Yeah, lovely to have you in the studio. You probably get this all the time. A lot taller in real life.

A lot taller in real life, yeah. I definitely don't get sick of hearing that. I was going to say, do you get sick of people being like, you should have been a basketballer. I actually get that a lot less these days. But definitely earlier in my career, people kind of know now. They're sort of like, oh, I think that guy actually does do sport already. He does do it at a pretty good level, actually.

I'm going to switch it up and go, you're a lot shorter in real life. Just to mix it up. Does it help? Like, can you dunk a basketball and things like that? Does your high jumping skills help in other sports? So volleyball, you're great at that, that sort of thing? Probably the thing holding me back from other sports would be my level of coordination. High jump's quite a repeatable skill, so it's quite easy. But yes, I can dunk a basketball.

Who's the most famous person who's called you? Chris Luxon gave me a cheeky FaceTime. Oh, did he? How did you get this number? Yeah, I guess Prime minister probably got me yeah well actually i actually he he didn't try but i actually missed the first one it was like i i was like going again going through all my dms and like i had a text from this random number being like hey it's like someone but half of the prime minister wants to call you like does it work five hours ago like and I'm like oh sorry I missed that one.

When did you realize you were good at high jump was this at like primary school level or? Yeah look I mean I was always good at it at primary school like I think I jumped the primary school record and I did a bunch of other things but I never really saw it as something that I was super serious with it was kind of just something that I did because all my other mates did it, you know I went down to the local athletics club because it was just good fun and we got a free sausage sizzle at the end of the night so it always drew me along What primary school did you go to? I went to Mongafo Mongafo, we should call and see

if the record still stands Yeah it's a great idea Yeah it probably isn't Have you been back to the primary school with a gold medal? I'm going to go at some point Hello Karen speaking Karen it's Jono Bette-Megan from the Hits Radio Yeah, probably isn't. But have you been back to the primary school with a gold medal? I'm going to go at some point. Hello, Karen speaking. Karen, it's John O'Beta-Megan from the Hits radio station.

Good morning. Good. How are you going? We're going all right. Now, we've got an ex-student of yours with us right now. Right. Great. I know who that is.

Gold medal. I just hit him on the radio this morning. Oh, you're a gold medal winner. Hamish Kerr's with us right now. Good morning. Hi. How are you going? We've got a quick question. We're just wondering if I still have the school high jump record.

Most likely. You have to ask Miss Bull if you remember her very well. Yeah, I do remember Miss Bull. Oh, you remember Miss Bull? She's still here. Is Miss Bull at work? Can we be transferred to her? I can see if she's here.

Do you want to hold line? Thank you very much. The official record keeper. You've got the Olympic gold, but have you still got the... Miss Bull was my teacher. She's your teacher? So how old were you when Miss Bull was your teacher? Probably like 10.

10 years old, wow. Does she remember you? She actually sent me an email. Did she? Oh, that's lovely. Hello, Robin Bull speaking. Oh, Miss Bull, it's Jono Ben and Megan

from the Hits radio station. Good morning. Good morning. Very random call, but we have an ex-student of yours with us right now, Hamish Kerr. Hello, Hamish. Hello, Miss Bull.

How are you going? I'm all right. How are you? I love it how no matter how old you are, you still call them Miss... Misses. You can't break the habit, can you? Now, we wanted to know, does he still

have the record for the high jump at the school? Yes, he does. You know, I remember measuring it and him going home and telling his mother what it was and she didn't believe us. Oh, really? Was it that good? She's like, your mum's like, hey, he didn't jump that high.

And Hamish, I've lost your autograph, Hamish, so you need to make sure that you send me a new one. Yeah, I'll come back and get you a new one. Yeah, yeah, you need to because I need to sell it. Watching you on TV was amazing. It was just like watching your 11-year-old self. Oh, I bet.

It would have brought back some memories and you're like, hey, he's done some stuff. I know. I'm taking credit for all of it, of course. Was he a good student? Oh, let's not ask that. Was he a good student? He was a tall student.

He was tall. All right, Miss Bulwer, thank you so much for your time and we really appreciate it. Appreciate it. Official record keeper there at Mungafale Primary. Still got the record there, Hamish. Hey, thanks for coming in, mate. Yeah. Hey, thanks for having me, guys. It's always a pleasure. Congratulations on everything.

It's huge. Yeah, cheers. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. I'm on my lucky sock, and it's been missing for some time now. I don't know where it's gone, and you guys kindly have tried to help me get it back. What luck has this sock brought you? All these socks brought you over the years. To be honest, not a huge amount of luck.

You know, sometimes you put it on and you're like, oh, we'll wear this today. I feel luckier than usual. Yeah, exactly. Or you take the socks off at night and you're like, I had a lucky day. These socks are it. I haven't won a lot or anything like that, but you know.

The nationwide sock hunt is on at the moment. We're trying to match Ben's lucky. It's got like a four-leaf clover on it. They're black. There's street posters out there, missing posters. There's a reward available. Put a big reward.

To be honest, I spent the majority on the street poster campaign. Yeah, right, yeah. $100 reward. Yeah. And some washing powder. Many people are saying,

actually, just buy a new pair of socks for the money we've spent. Anyway, but that's not the point. You know, I want the sock back. You also don't know where you got them from. No, I don't, actually. And I was Googling online.

I couldn't find them anywhere else. We're joined in the studio by the HITS general manager, Harriet Whiting. Have you seen Ben's sock? I've not seen your sock, unfortunately. But thank you for the street posters though. That's really a lot of effort. You keep saying it as if it has undertones of huge

waste of time and resource. I appreciate it. I don't know who's... Anyway, thank you Harriet. You've got a story about how these things can go missing yes and probably a clue as to where you should look too yeah which is kind of mind-blowing but my partner yells out to me the other day i've just found a pair of your undies in my sleeve comes around the corner not my undies oh the first question was do you have anything to tell me? What did he say? He said well would I be telling you if I had cheated? Oh no but he's hiding in plain sight that's a great excuse. This is how your mind thinks though. Yeah. He's just going of course not because I wouldn't come

out holding undies. It's just yours they found us in a sleep. Feels like that's bringing a lot of unnecessary heat on my affair. Yeah the rubbish bin would have just been easier. And then through a process of elimination, we discovered that it was our good friend's, she has been living in London for a year.

So hang on, how did you find out this? Well, I sent a photo to all the people I thought it could be. Did you tag people on social media? I used old school Snapchat.

Oh my God. Anyway, eventually found the owner, my friend Ella. And she's been living in London for a year. He brought the shirt last November. That's the most confusing thing. So she's been gone 12 months. The undies have been there six months.

Suspicious. This is the timeline. Okay. She did live with us two years ago. Come to the conclusion that these undies were lost in the washing machine for the last two years and when we've washed his shirt, they've somehow ended up in the sleeve. For that long they've been just going?

That long. So you reckon my sock, there's a good chance it could be still somewhere in the machine? 100%. It might come back in a year. Take the machine apart. Yeah, pull out the agitator and stuff. That is not a job for me to do. You know that, right?

Why? You're going to get your wife to do it. Yeah, well, she'd do a much better job. Does she need to clean the washing machine? No, no, I'm just saying I'm not practical. Sounds like what you'll have to do. You know that, right? Why? Are you going to get your wife to do it? Yeah, well, she'd do a much better job. Does she need to clean the washing machine? No, no, I'm just saying I'm not practical. Sounds like what you're hinting at. The washing machine is her jurisdiction, is it? He's more put the washing on, she's more maintained. Yeah, exactly.

I do the washing probably more than anyone else in the household. Also, as soon as you pull out the agitator, you see, like, muck. I don't know what the agitator is, to be honest. That's a big word. It's making me agitated just talking about it. So if these undies can stay hidden in the machine for over a year, then your sock could be what? Could be in Riley's, Harriet's partner's sleeve.

The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. It doesn't look epic as the weather today. They're talking snow. Snow road warnings in the north and the south as well. Very, very chilly conditions. The thunderstorms rain. Yesterday there was talk of potential

totally lost the word. What's the word? Weather wallop. Weather wallop as well. Not a hurricane, but it was going to be a tornado. That's the word I was looking for. There was talk of a tornado with a wallop as well. Did we get a walloping? Not a hurricane, but it was going to be a tornado. That's the word that I was looking for. It was talk of a tornado hitting New Zealand yesterday as well. Did it hit?

I don't know if it did hit. Not as far as I know. The problem is with weather, you do so much talk in the lead up, don't you? There's so much preamble of, and many times, and I don't want to talk down, your weather events, they don't hit. They don't hit. We build up for the ones that never come. Yeah, but then the ones that do sneak up on us everyone's like what where's the warning you know look there's been some shocking weather events to new zealand over the last couple of

years you know and people are where's the warning on you know so you know so i guess it's better like every time now i'm like i'll tie the tramp up that's your thing isn't it i go tie the tramp up because the one time i'm not it's it's got to go flying to someone else's backyard. To be honest, the state of our trampoline, covered in moss and mould, I think the next person that jumps on it is going to fall through it. If Mother Nature took it away from us and delivered it to someone else, they'd be doing us a huge favour.

Otherwise, I'm going to take it to the landfill. But now I'm like, well, if I tie it up, then I know it will be fine. The weather's going to be fine. How do you tie it up? I just put some rope around to the house. I put it on the Hits Breakfast story actually last night as well. A little personal content. My daughter came out and filmed me.

I'm like, yeah. She's like, what are you doing? A little bit of personal content. You know? Good on you, Ben. Here's some personal content for you That's right So you tie it around the actual house

Oh yeah Like one of the On the veranda Basically I love if you look outside And it's just like Flying like a kite Flying up in the air

Like that Stuck to the house It could happen It could happen as well Can I ask you a question With any weather event Has it even slightly moved In the past

Not that I have no but you have seen those stories have it ended up in other yards and stuff? The answer is no. Not my one no not my one

because I've always tied it up mate I've always tied it up. I've seen you've seen that amazing YouTube video we'll try and find and put it on the

hits breakfast where a tramp has obviously been taken by the wind and it's flipping and flowing and then it lands perfectly in someone else's backyard like sitting upright you've been taken by the wind and it's flipping and flowing and then it lands perfectly in someone else's backyard.

Like sitting upright. I belong to you now. It looks like it was there the whole time. It was all in their security camera footage. I mean, you don't want to be doing, tying up the tramp when the weather is bad. That's my theory. I'm like, you know, do it now

because you don't want to get up at four in the morning and go, oh my God, I need to tie the tramp out. No, amen, amen. A tornado going on. Why don't we chuck this out there because it is chilly outside. Zero degrees in Invercargill yesterday. Zero degrees. Let's see if we can find the coldest listener right now.

We have some nice warm hell pizza to warm the cockles of your cold heart. 0800 The Hits, 4487. The coldest listener. Are your fingers too cold to call the phone? Hopefully not The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast Am I the only person in the world who picks up their television remote

and I realise yesterday as I picked it up I've gone through my entire adult life not knowing what, I would say 30% of those buttons are doing on that remote I've got the numbers, I know where I'm at I'm comfortable there, the power on. You know, I've got the numbers. I know where I'm at. I'm comfortable there.

The power on and off. AV, I can switch around with that stuff. But then there's, honestly, there's about a dozen buttons on there. Maybe they just pad it out. Maybe they rack the remotes big and then they just sort of put more buttons on there. I was thinking. Why don't you go rogue and see what maybe your TV does more than you realize it does. I'm too scared.

Too scared now to push them. You know, when you've gone too far gone that I don't know what happens if I push them. But I had that theory too, that the remote architects were like, oh, well, that's all the buttons we need. And they're like, there's a lot of empty real estate on here, team. And they've just filled it up

with unnecessary buttons to confuse. I'm so glad that you're the buttons guy here at the show. Do you know what all the buttons in front of you do right now? Honestly, no. Yeah, yeah. Honestly, I've got... You sit in front of them all. We'll push one at random. No, don't die because our boss matt will like

there's probably it's 90 of them i don't know what they do good yeah i like all those ox scenes and what's all this stuff going to link what is it linking to so don't push it we'll definitely stay to stay on the options It gives you options Options for a better radio show So many great buttons I don't know there was options

in that one Freeze What is the freeze for? Crazy stuff I kind of want you to push freeze I know I know

but we can't as our boss Matt will be very nervously listening to this for good reason But yeah do you know all the remotes

on your button? That's what I want to know All the buttons on my remote? No, definitely not. But I feel like if a remote only had three buttons, then it probably would be as impressive. I've taken a photo of mine.

I want to know these ones. See, you go along the middle patch there. There's just colours. Red, green. I don't know what the colours are. I've got colours too. All right, text us. 4487 on the text this morning.

And then they've got letters on top of them. R-G-Y-B. What is this? What? Red, green, Y, B. What is this? What? Red, green, blue, yellow. There's probably a way you could find out, but let's go. Yeah. The R is above the red and the G is above the green.

And the Y is above the yellow. I got you. But then why would they need? I don't know. We're not going to solve it right now. After 8 o'clock, as I said before, I said before Options, options, better show, better show Yeah definitely A lot of talk about the weather today

Shocking conditions, spring I know you're a big supporter of spring And as it gets towards the summer months Megan Yeah but spring's always tumultuous We always get a bit of snow and a bit of frost And everyone's like what, wait It felt like tops off on Sunday, didn't it? It was getting into tops off weather.

Yeah, now all of a sudden we've got negative degrees down south. We've got snow warnings, road warnings. There's a whole lot going on. Philip Duncan, the man who always takes the weather with him. He listened to Crowded House back in the day from Weather Watch. How is the weather that you've been watching there, Phil? Oh, it's with

me. That's terrible. I never did that. That's terrible. Sorry. No, do never apologise for some weather song references. Now, crazy times. Is this unusual for this time of year, Philip Duncan?

No, not really. It's, you know, this is only just the very, very early start of spring. And to some people, it's still technically even winter. Spring is all defined by winter slowly fading away and gradual hints of summer coming in we want you to come on here and go this is catastrophic climate change this is what we want some headline grabbing comments thanks phil okay the most dramatic thing i've got is that the storms around the southern ocean and around antarctica they are huge at moment. They are much bigger than usual. And that's part of the reason why we've got this blast coming up at the moment

and why we may have more as we go through spring. This may not be the last blast of winter as we head through the next couple of months. That's what I was going to ask you. Is there more to come? And then when can we expect summer to really kick in? What we've got at the moment is sort of a gradual warming up. In the month of September, we gain 20 minutes more sunlight every single week, which means in the month of September, we gain a whole hour of sunlight.

And that extra sunlight, the only month in the year where it does it, that extra hour adds more heat into the atmosphere. And so we start to get warmer days, feels more like summer. But when you've got these big storms going around Antarctica, adds more heat into the atmosphere. And so we start to get warmer days, feels more like summer. But when you've got these big storms going around Antarctica, it only takes one of them to sort of blast up and you're back to winter for a few days like this week. There was a lot of talk, you know, yesterday about all the shocking weather arriving.

A tornado was rumoured to be hitting New Zealand as well. I tied down the tramp. My kids were like, we're going to go sit in the bath if it happens. Apparently that's the safest place. I don't know where they heard that. Did you have a family bath? Well, no, they were just like, sit in the bath if it happens. Apparently that's the safest place. I don't know where they heard that. Did you have a family bath? Well, no, they were just like, sit in the bath, no water in it. That's where they were like, apparently if a tornado is hitting the house,

they reckon that's the safest place. I don't know where they got it. I don't know if that's true. Is that right, Phil? Get into the bath, yeah, because it's got the metal edges to it and some of them, so it's a good safe place where the debris hits you sideways. I guess it's locked down into the house.

But was there a tornado at all anywhere? I didn't see any that I was aware of. The news headlines yesterday were utterly ridiculous. They were just clickbait central, so I wouldn't really get too deep into that stuff. We bought into it. Yeah, I tied the trap. Should I have tied?

When should I? Can you just text me, Phil? I'll give you my number and just say, when I need to tie the trap, because I have a habit of should I? Can you just text me, Phil? I'll give you my number and just say when I need to tie the tramp because I have a habit of just tying the tramp to the house when bad weather's on the way and my family are like, why are you doing this again? And so next time, can you text me and tell me this is good

tramp tying weather? Absolutely. I am more than happy to do that for you. What about summer then? Is summer going to be like early, hot, like give us some good news? Well I think you know this this month has already been warmer than average in many many parts of the country and we forget that whenever it gets cold you're sort of like oh this winter's never ending but a week ago people were saying well it's 25 degrees and we're breaking

records and it's going into summer I think we might be looking at some pretty hot weather this summer compared to usual, but forecasting for two mountainous islands that are stuck out at sea halfway between Antarctica and the equator is really hard to do. We struggle to get two weeks right, let alone two months right. All I'm hearing

is problems, Philip Duncan. Sounds like a new problem, doesn't it? We want solutions, baby. We want 30 degree consistent days. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Yesterday announced to celebrate 50 years of Pizza Hut being in New Zealand, a all-you-can-eat buffet. The Pizza Hut is back for three days only.

They're calling it Pop-Up Hut because it's just a little pop-up version of what it used to be, but a very iconic thing from the 90s, wasn't it? All-you-can-eat Pizza Hut. I think eventually it probably started to sink Pizza Hut to the All You Can Eat, because people went in there with a very tactical plan to basically try and completely eat the buffet out of all food. You know, you wouldn't eat for like a day or so leading into it,

so you could pile, you played up. A magnificent memory, and then you'd always end up with the ice cream machine. They'd leave children responsible of the ice cream machine. Exactly. And so this one as well

is going to have pizza, salad, soft drinks, dessert bar as well, the ice cream machine, hot fudge search. All sold out within an hour, the tickets.

All gone. The dessert bar. I know. So legit. It was such a nostalgic thing wasn't it didn't matter how full you were on pizza there was always like second dessert stomach the salad felt unnecessary to requirements but it was good that they put it there it is yeah wasn't it like pasta salad yeah it was from them yeah garlic bread as well or you could eat fries and garlic bread it was just

yeah i always loved it when you know because you'd look for the pizzas that'd be up there and then all of a sudden you'd be like, oh, combination, what's combination pizza? But it just felt like it was all the stuff that they were like, leftovers. Well, mate, we'll put that on another pizza. All the scrapings.

I'm sure it wasn't, but it just was like, oh, combination, I haven't heard of that one before. Yeah, great. And it was $9.95. I think it was at first, wasn't it? Yeah.

$9.95, all you can eat. Wow. Wild time. Inflation, it's $30 now, which I guess seems reasonable. Still pretty great for an all-you-can-eat, though, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. Just gorge. Just gorge.

The plan is to, if halfway through, you can somehow empty yourself to restart again and get a new lease online. But do we need to lead them into a false sense of security? Go in there and just be chill because then it might last longer and they might want to do more. I see what you're saying. If we go in there and absolutely abuse it, they're going to be like, no, this is why we shut the town. We're not like that though, are we?

No. We look at COVID and we're fighting over toilet paper and things like that. We can't be trusted. We can't be trusted. We can't be trusted. But also you've got to factor in staffing hours nowadays too, don't you? Shift times, closing hours. Because I imagine that back in the day people were like, oh, I'm not full, as they're shutting the restaurant.

You said all you could eat. I can eat more. You know what we meant. Just go home. So that's coming back. It's three days only in the school holidays, but who knows? There could be some more around the corner.

There might be. Well, you know, we're going to ruin it for everyone, aren't we? The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Today was pretty rubbish as well. We're talking thunderstorms, snow, a whole lot of coldness really hitting New Zealand until Thursday, they reckon. The wintry wallop, as they're calling it in Met Service.

Never heard of a walloping before. What is a walloping? Just a good old-fashioned lashing. Yeah, I think so. It's like a heavy slap. I feel like our grandparents would have got walloped by the cane back at school. So what we're going to do right now is find the coldest listener listening right now. Now, Cody, our dear friend Cody

Who phones through every morning Lovely to hear your voice, Cody Good morning guys, how's it going? How are we doing? Oh jeez, I hung up on How did I hang up on Cody? Cody, call back Cody Cody

He's just waiting there for us Hey Cody, bye But you had him, he said hello Is this Cody? Yep. Oh, sorry, bro. Fat fingers early in the morning. I'm so sorry.

How cold is it where you are in Waikanae there, Cody? So when I left home, it was a nice, lovely, warm four degrees. Tropical weather, I know. Ben was saying zero in an Invercargill yesterday. I'm just looking at the map of the country right now. Tahuna, bottom of the south, negative one degrees this morning. So you can't complain if you're in the north. That's all I could say.

It's lovely and warm compared to negative one. Yeah. Are you a shorts, all-year-round sort of person, Cody? I usually am, but the job site that I work on requires full cover, so not too bad in the winter. Sounded like a shorts all year round sort of person. There's a guy here at work. Stubbies.

Stubbies and a black T-shirt all year round. Yeah, it doesn't change, right? No matter what the conditions. And I love the consistency of that. Like Steve Jobs wore the same thing every day. Don't have to put any effort into thinking about what you're wearing. Hey, thanks for your call, Cody. Appreciate it.

Thank you. Safe driving to work. Now, we're going to take this international. Yeah, we're talking about the coldest listener right now, right around the country. It's very cold. And then someone texts through saying, what about the hottest listener?

And we're going to go to Las Vegas, or as Travis Kelsey calls it, Viva Las Vegas. Viva Las Vegas! Viva! Viva! Las Vegas! That gives Megan the yuck, doesn't it? It really does. It makes me cringe.

We have Tim live from Las Vegas. How are you? Hi there. How are you? What are you doing in Vegas, Timbo? My wife's American, so we're just over for a month here, holiday. And it's 25 degrees today. It was 41 when we arrived last week.

41. Oh, jeez! You're talking hot to us. Hot conversations. Wow. So you're in Las Vegas right now. So what are you looking at right now? Because it's about 11.30 in the morning. What are you looking at? We're looking at a, oh, well done. Yeah, 11.30 on Monday.

So looking at Yogurtland. We're just about to go get some Yogurtland. Frozen yogurt. And we've just been for go get some Yogurtland with frozen yogurt. And we've just been for some Cane's chicken. Raising Cane's. Raising Cane's. Can't beat it, mate. It's good.

I had that when I was in the States. It's really, really good. A whole land of yogurt. Yogurtland. Geez, they've got it all over there, don't they? And is your wife from Las Vegas? She is indeed. Oh, well, because you don't see much of the, well, as a tourist, of the suburban life. It's all about the casinos and the razzmatazz and showbiz on the strip, but what's it like

living in suburbia? Suburbia, it's still the same. You walk into a petrol station, there's pokey machines in the petrol station, pokey machines in Walmart, alcohol sold in Walmart. It's just a totally different life over here. God bless America. You never know when you want to pay the pokies, do you? Filling up your car. I'm going to check out a Walmart, get my groceries,

and then have a slap on the pokey. I'm sure Yogurtland even have pokey projects as well. There's no pokies in the Yogurtman's land. Thanks for listening to us over there in Las Vegas. Tim is sitting in a barmy 25 degrees in Viva Las Vegas.

Las Vegas! What's that? 1132 on a Friday, 25 degrees. On a Monday, sorry, 25 degrees. Oh, good on you, Tim. Well, hey, it's cold and miserable here in New Zealand, so you stay in Las Vegas. Love to talk to you.

I just looked on my phone. It's 7 degrees back in Wellington. Yeah, no, don't worry about us, mate. We're battling away.
