This John Owen Ben podcast, hey that's us, brought to you by HelloFresh, the experts and tastes that Kiwis love.
The iconic store Smith & Coey's in Auckland, it seems to be like those iconic department stores around the place like Valentine's and Christchurch.
But it's going to be saved and it was going to shut down after 144 years because of the tough economic climate.
But they're going to have a smaller version of the store, do a lot more online.
Yeah, unfortunately a few job losses, but I guess the good news overall is the store
will carry on.
Oh, that is good.
So it's great to start on a positive note, Ben.
Well, it's survived to 25.
That's what I keep hearing in the business sector.
Survived to 25.
People keep saying that, right?
Except for the sales reps, and they're like, please don't say that because we want people
to spend in 24.
What do you say?
Spend more in 24.
Oh, yeah.
That's good.
But you can also survive to 25.
I think do both.
Spend more and then survive to 25.
Pick up some sticks in 26.
I don't know.
I was talking to a guy on the plane.
We were making our way back from Ototahi yesterday.
And here's the business guy.
You'll be proud of me because usually I punish for the entire flight.
I do, yeah.
But I just did pre-takeoff and landing.
Okay, shut down in between.
Good, nice.
Did you ever sleep in between, did you?
Yeah.
But he was off to do some business in Australia.
He's from Christchurch.
He said, biggest stock market crash in the US since 1987.
One day stock market crash.
Just happened overnight.
It was in Megan's News.
Oh, right.
And I said, survive to 25.
And he's like,
well, yeah,
I guess that's the thing.
That is the thing.
We had a weird moment.
I think it was
in the back of the Uber
we were heading
to the airport yesterday.
And I had my phone.
You know when you got
your phone open
but you don't really know,
you accidentally just hit stuff
and you don't know
what's going on.
I thought I was on WhatsApp
but I also had Uber open
and all sorts of stuff.
And then all of a sudden I just see my phone going, sent i don't know to this report i don't know what yes
i don't know what report i sent who did you know i don't know i was like oh gee i kept looking at
the uber thing i don't i don't you know because uber guy was great i didn't want to like send a
report about my safety or anything like that i don't know if it was uber i don't know if it was
whatsapp i don't know if it was like well someone has a report from ben boyce yeah i know i don't know if it's my friend because he sent a message of like
reporting this as a message i didn't want to see or anything like that but so i don't know were you
on instagram i was well no it was just but i'm just thinking there's some apps that have like
reporters inappropriate yeah well that's why i wondered if i reported it as what maybe maybe
if you reported the bloody driver touched you up or something. No. That's what I was worried about.
You'd be like, no.
He didn't.
He was wonderful.
Yeah, but at the back of my head.
I'd let him touch me up, but he was wonderful.
Yeah.
So apologies.
I was giving that guy five stars at the end of it.
But I don't know what I did.
One of those moments you're like, I don't know.
Yeah.
Megan fell asleep on the plane.
She said, I woke up with my mouth open.
You know how every now and then you become aware of your body? i'm like um just shut my mouth it happened over and over again
no one looks sexier than when they're sleeping on a plane with their mouth open i saw that the
tea trolley had gone past so i was like oh they just skipped me because i'm like yeah but then
they were there for a while obviously transacting over coffees for people next to you and you're
just sitting there drooling the hits theits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
You're on The Hits.
Jono and Ben, as Ben is eating,
are you eating raw cauliflower?
Yeah, I'm eating cauliflower.
Raw cauliflower.
It's quarter past seven.
I mean, I like raw cauliflower.
Sorry, I really mistimed the eating of the raw cauliflower.
It's an odd breakfast choice.
Let me just look in a system.
I've had breakfast.
I've had breakfast.
It's just all snacks.
Ben is the only one who brings a lunchbox to work.
Hit us what's in there.
He's got a little mini packet of, it looks like one slice of salami and a little beer
stick, a quarter of a beer stick.
Yeah.
A bit of a meat injection.
Yeah.
He's got a half a banana.
I had half a breakfast, but I have half more later.
Yeah.
Now, my bugbear, have you ever driven with him?
Because he'll shove all of his produce in your little, you know,
on the side bits in your door where you store your maps and things.
And leaves them there.
Leaves them there, like rotting banana peels.
I don't mean to, but sometimes I have to.
Apple cores.
I've just eaten my cauliflower, you know.
And your cucumber.
A little packet of salted nuts.
Very healthy.
Doze nuts.
He's got more cauliflower.
More cauliflower.
I won't finger the cauliflower, sorry.
He's got half a mandarin, which he's already eaten,
and a grape, and a solo grape.
It's like a little rabbit who nibbles away on it.
I'm just snacking throughout the day, you know.
It's good.
Lovely.
Helpful stuff.
Not ideal for back announcing.
Sorry, yeah, sorry.
I really missed time with the cauliflower.
But I'm back, and I want to hear about you embarrassing yourself
because I know yesterday I try and make you walk the stairs.
If there's an option to walk the stairs, I'll always take it
because I feel like we sit down for like three, four hours in the morning.
I'm like, I need to kind of walk when I can.
But you're like, no, no, I'm not walking the stairs
because I'm going to do some exercise later.
I was like, I go to a specific place and time to do my exercise.
But we've just come back from Christchurch.
I walk so much.
You guys have walked.
We walked like seven Ks or something one day.
Every 10 minutes she's like
Check your phone, how many steps
My family, you can sip
They'll complain about it as well
So I wasn't wearing walking shoes
So yesterday, I'm pretty proud that I still went to Pilates in the afternoon
But I have an issue
You may have heard that I did a fake tan
And it got all over the bed
Now I've got a full body rash
And I don't know why because I've used
the fake tan before.
Have you been swimming in the river Seine?
No, and I didn't jump in the Avon either.
That's not to blame. No, haven't done that.
Maybe it was the soap that you were using.
Yeah, maybe. Yeah, I was mentioning
yesterday, sea lice. I was riddled with bloody
red dots all up and down my inner white,
my milky white thighs.
And the sea lice they get in your togs and they go up.
They're in every crease and crevice.
So is that what you're dealing with at the moment?
No, I don't think so.
But I didn't think about it until I got there because I was wearing a singlet in my class
and my arms are rashy.
So there was that.
Everyone's kind of looking like, you okay, mate?
No, is the answer.
This is the one when you're strapped onto a weird sort of table yeah oh that yeah gotcha now the thing is when you get tired
there's a specific part that you're supposed to stand on that doesn't move and then there's the
carriage that does move so that's free freely moving and if you stand on the wrong part you
can fall off because it moves slides off yeah and so once you start getting tired all the
instructions start you know rolling off in your head she's like stand on the solid part and jump
up and do your lunges but i stood on the slidey part and fell through the middle of it my rashy
body went straight through the middle he's stuck in the machine legs up in? Legs up in the air. In the floor.
At that point I was like, I think I'm just going to pack up
and leave. I don't think anyone wants to
go on my reformer after me anyway.
So I've probably broken it and I've infected
it with whatever I've got going on.
Is that the hot yoga?
Some bloke who does
sweaty yoga? No, this wasn't the hot one
thankfully. I didn't need to add that to my
situation. It was just the machine.
I've never done yoga. It's like
extended stretching, is it?
Maybe I should take you.
I'd love to see you on the machine, actually.
Legs in the air.
There's ones where you have to split your legs right apart
in the straps. It looks like someone with a leather
mask should be running those machines.
Oh, you should bring you along
to one of my classes. Is it a fad?
Are those things a fad or have they been around for a while?
Well, my butt today would suggest that it's not a fad.
It's not a fad.
That also could be because I fell on it.
What did we see the other day?
Oh, you pretended you were riding a horse was a new workout.
So you have like a toy horse and you gallop around.
Oh, yeah.
And that's it. Like fully grown adults. That seems like that a toy horse and you gallop around. Oh, yeah. And that's it.
Like fully grown adults.
That seems like that might be a fad, but hey.
The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
Could be winning $500.
We've started something this morning.
It's just gone live on livestream at the Hits Breakfast on Facebook.
It's a torch.
Now, we found a torch in the office.
One of those dolphin torches, the yellow ones,
quite a sturdy sort of one you'd take out camping or if the power went out.
Yep.
They're yellow, aren't they?
And we turned it on.
It works.
Now, we are going to be live streaming this torch ceremony.
It's already started.
It's already started.
Yeah.
That's why I was like, I hope the sound's not on because we've been talking to all sorts
of work, confidential things.
It's been going for like 20 minutes.
Ben was like, dear God, please don't let that live stream microphone be live because we've been talking to all sorts of work confidential things we go for like 20 minutes Ben was like dear God please don't let that
live stream microphone
be live
because we've been
covering some bases
covering some ground
but the live stream
at the hits breakfast
Facebook I understand
yeah
you can go on there
right now
and you can make
a prediction
when you think
the torch batteries
will run out
when the torch ceremony
will end the torch is extinguished you can enter multiple times and if you're right if you get the torch batteries will run out uh when the torch ceremony will end the torch is
extinguished you can you can enter multiple times and if you're right if you get the right time uh
you'll get 500 it's pretty great price i know it's doing literally nothing all you all you can see is
the torchlight against me it's surprising though it really is i can't take my eyes off it yeah
it's doing nothing yeah it is quite mesmerizing but it's, yeah. And it's quite mesmerising.
So it's nothing to do
with what's going on
in Paris or anything
like that, eh?
It's just coincidence
that we wanted to do
this torch thing the
same time they were
doing their torch thing.
And we can't have
fire in the studio.
Yeah.
And Snoop Dogg wasn't
available to carry our
torch.
So we don't know if
the battery, or how
old the batteries are,
right?
That's probably the
big thing.
It has been a torch
in the office that
people have been, you know, playing with.
But you wouldn't have used it for prolonged periods of time, you wouldn't have thought.
So what are we, I'm thinking probably a couple of days, but I don't know.
I have no idea.
Also, when a torch battery gets low, does the light dim a little bit?
Is it going to give clues?
Yes, the strength of the light, the brightness, that is a very good observation, yeah.
So maybe you can get a gauge.
Maybe there are battery experts out there who could easily get a gauge right now,
given how powerful the light is running, how long it's got to go.
We will tell you it's full strength.
It feels like full strength at the moment.
It does, but we're not sure.
So make a prediction how long you think it will.
Tell us exactly the amount of time until the batteries run out.
It looks like an X-ray.
It does, doesn't it?
It does.
You know when you see people have accidentally put things inside their bottom and they're
like, oh, it turns up on the Daily Mail and you're like, oh, look at this bloody teddy
bear in there or something.
It looks like one of those.
So go to the Hits Breakfast on Facebook, make a prediction.
You can make multiple predictions throughout the next, however long the batteries last
for, and you could be winning $500.
The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
Now, Deadpool Wolverine
it's a biggest R
rated movie of all
time at the moment.
Yeah very good.
I saw it over the
weekend with my wife.
Really enjoyed it.
What's the biggest
do you mean most
successful?
Most successful yeah
as far as making the
most amount of money
for an R rated movie.
Is that like breaking
it down per capita
too when you start
focusing on the
little bit but very
successful.
Ryan Reynolds, Hugh
Jackman.
It's one of those movies
what's the most successful
X rated one
yeah I don't know
probably like Basic Instinct
or something like that
I'll have a goog
you keep calling me
yeah
you're going to get flagged
by IT
went along and saw that
at the movies
and yeah it's one of those movies
very funny
but when there's some jokes
that are you know
inappropriate
you don't know
in the social setting
sometimes laughing out loud
I'm like what's the situation there
Hugh Jackman as well
very ripped.
I mean, jeez, for a guy who's probably in his 50s, right?
He is just incredible.
Well, we looked it up.
He's 54.
Just unbelievable.
But a very, very funny movie.
And Bye Bye Bye, a great song at the start.
They do a great dance.
So it was really good.
I was really enjoying it with my wife.
I do.
Yeah, yeah, no, I do.
Can you say it on the radio?
Yeah, no, Clockwork Orange pulled in 114 million. I said I rated. Yeah, X rated. Oh, sorry, I do Can you say it on the radio? Yeah, a clockwork orange pulled in $114 million
I said I rated
Yeah, X rated
What were you thinking?
Oh, you want triple X rated, yeah?
And I was enjoying the movie
Up until this day
We'd bought a little brownie
A little thing from out there
And we had it with ice cream
And I just spilled it all over a white top
What a brownie and ice cream In the cinema Yeah yeah in the cinema we did we took it in we ate that and
it was like and it all spooked all over my white top and then i was enjoying the movie and i was
like oh now i'm gonna go out into the mall yeah but then i remember i had my bag and i had from
a friend um had bought she's like she carries around i told you about this in her handbag a
stain a little stain remover pen.
Yeah.
Like a little pen.
And I was like, I bought one of those.
And so I got that out of my bag, went out there and cleaned up the top.
And I've got it right here.
I'm carrying it around here.
Just a little, the size of a pen.
It's a little Tide stain remover pen.
And it's genius.
Did it get the brownie out?
It got the brownie out.
I came back to the movie.
I was feeling good for the second half of the movie.
Only on white clothing?
Well, no, any clothing.
You've got a stain.
You just carry it around in your bag.
I'm like, this is a life hack.
And my friend, she had it at the cricket.
I spilt some beer, and she's like, hey, I got you.
And she handed me this pen.
I was like, well, I don't need to write anything down.
And she's like, no, it's a stain remover pen.
She's like, get yourself one.
Carry it around with you.
It's a life hack.
And it's a great life hack.
What is your most treasured possession in your collection now?
Is it your stain-removing pen?
Oh, yeah.
Or is it your electric gamma ray reader?
Oh, I'll put that away, that one.
I'll put that one away.
He would go into a room, and he's got this little machine he'd purchased off the internet,
and he would read the electrical gamma rays of that room.
I got a little, yeah, I really...
I was one step away from a tinfoil hat, so I was like, no, I need to put that away.
He was in deep and he'd hold it up to PowerPoints and computers.
Oh, don't put your beard here.
What are you sleeping next to?
And I was like, no, stand back, Ben.
Stand back.
So I haven't.
Where is it?
I don't actually.
I think it's in the garage.
I haven't touched that thing for many years.
It was driving you to insanity.
I was walking.
I walked around the neighborhood under power lines.
And Amanda was like
come back inside you know my wife but what are you holding it up to the people look you stand
here look at this and she's like come back inside come back inside you make your scene so i was like
yeah people are looking out the window being like didn't they used to be on tv no i'm walking around

put your head down there Look at it
Look at this thing
Off the chart
The only guy weirder
Than the metal detector person
On the beach
The hits
The Jono and Ben podcast
We're talking life hacks
We've got some great techs
Coming through
That microwave one was quite cool
Yeah when you're reheating pizza
From the night before
In the microwave
Apparently you put a glass of water
In there as well
And it keeps the pizza all
Juicy and fresh
It doesn't dry it out Or make it soggy And yeah Ben this is just coming off you you put a glass of water in there as well and it keeps the pizza all juicy and fresh.
It doesn't dry it out or make it soggy.
And yeah, Ben, this is just coming off you,
a huge backer of the Tide stain remover pen.
Now, Megan just turned the song.
She's like, well, let's give it a go on your white T-shirt now.
We'll smudge some chocolate on there.
And you're like, oh.
I like it all day.
No, we're going to do it on social media.
We'll put it up later.
There's some chocolate out there. You can chew the chocolate. It's not intentional. I do like all day. No, we're going to do it on social media. We'll put it up later. There's some chocolate out there.
You can chew the chocolate.
It's not intentional.
I do like the pen.
Dribble it on your shirt.
I'm not making an infomercial, though.
I'm not like, look at this.
We can knock red wine on a mattress.
If you're going to sell it that hard, I want to see it in action.
I'm invested in the company.
I'm just saying it's what these pens do.
He's backing out of the confidence levels of his pen.
I get a real white shirt all day.
But I do love the pen. I'm not saying I can't do it. He's got it of the confidence levels of his pen. I've got a real white shirt all day. But I do love the pen.
I'm not saying I can't do it.
He's got it in his hand.
He's like, I do love the pen.
It's got to be a genuine stain.
It knows what it's like.
It's a manufactured stain.
You dribble the chocolate out of your mouth and it'll be great.
He's lost confidence in his pen.
So 800, that's your life hacks.
We're going to get Jason on.
Good morning to you, Jason.
How are you?
Good morning, team.
Not too bad this morning.
Lovely to have you on the show.
Now, you've got a bit of a hack.
Now, this happens to everyone.
You're leaving a concert or a sporting event,
and there's crowds everywhere.
Yeah, well, I've got a little bit of a couple of flashing lights
hidden on my car.
So I sort of turn them on and people quite nicely part ways
so I can get through the traffic.
Oh, like Moses parting the Red Sea.
Jason drives through the crowds with his lights
because as soon as you see flashing lights,
everyone's automatic reaction is, well, I'll get out of the way of those.
What colour are the lights, Jason?
No, they are orange.
They aren't red or blue.
Yeah, gotcha.
They're thinking it's like some sort of council sort of worker or anything like that.
But you look official.
Yeah, like some sort of official.
Yeah.
If I saw that coming up.
Official looking vehicle too, so it's not a mini.
Great.
So where do you get those from?
Just like Repco or somewhere?
Check the orange flashing lights on.
Yeah, they, yep, Repco or super cheap autos or...
I reckon you could park anywhere and have those lights go.
And they're like, that's like, you know,
when you check the hazards on.
You're like, I can park in the middle of this roundabout
and got the hazards going.
Many times I've parked in a medium strip and left them going, yes.
But I expect it on like a ute.
But what kind of car are you rocking it on?
Yes, I am rocking a ute.
Oh, that's helpful, yeah.
Yeah, it is helpful.
Hey, Jason, I really appreciate you phoning through this morning.
You go and have a wonderful day.
No worries.
Thanks, guys.
Thank you.
Good way to get out of packed stadiums, flashing orange lights. Yeah, but I'm not going to be able to put them on my tiny little white car.
Everyone will be like, what's happening there?
Tell your wine one which has holes all through it.
Okay.
So if you're buying a bottle of wine and it's not quite chilled,
you get a piece of minty chewing gum,
and as you drink it, it feels cold in your mouth.
But also it tastes like mint.
What do you mean?
Yeah, it does tarnish the face of the wine a little bit.
It's when you do that too.
There's always the one where people soak a tea towel around
and they wrap it around and put it in the freezer.
Have you seen that one?
It's meant to make it.
I don't know if it works.
It makes it colder.
Right, but then you've got a frozen T-shirt or tea towel around you.
Yeah.
Anyway, I've seen people do it.
They're like, that'll get it cold fast.
I don't know if it does.
Do you remember that crazy fad in the 90s
where everyone had 1.5 litre bottles on their lawn filled with water
and it would deter the dogs, the theory was it would deter the dogs
from pooping on your lawn.
There were bloody 1.5 litre bottles everywhere.
And then they'd just disappear.
Because they realised it doesn't work.
Yeah.
There was a theory about the reflection of the light or something
and it would put the dogs like, oh, I'm not pooping there, mate.
But yeah, they disappeared overnight real quick, didn't they?
Along with white dog droppings.
Yeah. You don't see that nowadays,
do you? Because we have to pick them up.
Isn't that just poos that's been there for ages?
I don't know. Mysteries.
Mysteries, yeah. Unsolved mysteries. 4487.
What happened to the white dog poop?
The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast.
Or just a passing comment about
dog poop.
Oh, yeah.
What happened to the white stuff?
You know, the vintage white dog droppings from the 90s that we all know and love and remember fondly.
Well, fun fact, it hardly exists anymore, according to this text, because of the amount of preservatives in the dog food these days.
Right.
Maybe they were eating more natural nutrients.
Well, someone else said, yeah, they used to eat more bones back in the day.
So that used to do it.
I was like, why the diet?
Tell you what, we are solving mysteries this morning.
So thanks for your text on that one.
Speaking of dogs, I was walking the dog.
My dog yesterday, we got back from being away for work.
I thought I'd take the dog for a walk.
He needed a walk.
And we walked past a cafe that we go to from time to time up the road.
And the lady was out there sort of clearing a table, wasn't going into the cafe,
but she sort of stopped.
And, you know, it's a lady that I know.
We have a chat too, but to be honest, probably she might not know my name.
I don't know her name, but we had a chat.
It's weird though, because now you chat all the time.
How do you go, okay, what is your name?
Well, you don't know.
Because you're friendly and you see it all the time.
You can't stop now and be like. Sorry, what's your name again? You don know how friendly and you see it all the time you can't
stop now and be like sorry what's your name again you don't know that when you first meet the person
you don't know how long this wonderful interaction is going to extend on for and you're like 40
four years deep and you're like i don't know their name yeah and she was patting the dog she was
sitting with friend of your dog and then she goes to be honest if she said your name in the first
meeting you wouldn't remember it anyway yeah that's true and then she just said and how are
you darling and then i went, I'm going all right.
Sort of talked about Christchurch, went and segued and stuff.
And I could tell that maybe, you know, in my mind, I was like,
have I said something wrong?
Is she a little put off?
What's going on here?
She just sort of looked a bit taken back.
And she paused after I finished.
And she went, oh, sorry, darling, was that the dog?
Not actually you.
But then there are some.
Oh, that's humbling.
That's humbling.
And I, I guess, arrogantly thought that she called me darling.
But then at the same time.
She's like, she doesn't know my name.
She's just gone with darling.
How are you, darling?
As she was patting the dog.
Of course, it made sense.
But I kind of.
How long have you been interacting with this person?
Oh, probably, you know, like on and off, you know, for a few good, you know,
probably a year or so.
You're at darling stage.
I couldn't believe she didn't just let you have it.
I thought so too, but obviously she must have gone,
oh God, he thinks I'm a darling person.
Because there are darling people out there.
Yeah, but I'm a babes person.
I'd say, hey babes, how's it going?
You know, to anyone and everyone.
Obviously she wasn't, yeah, wasn't comfortable with the fact of calling you that.
Well, she doesn't want you walking away and going,
oh, she thinks I'm a darling. Yeah, but I can see that now. She can see the fact of calling you darling. Well, she does when you walk away and you go, ooh, she thinks I'm a darling.
Yeah, and I can see that now.
She can see the pep in your step.
She's like, by the way, it wasn't for you.
And it wasn't for me.
So, yeah, those awkward moments that you're just like,
oh, yeah, it actually wasn't.
And you're lucky you didn't fire back with,
I'm doing well, sweetheart, or something, you know,
because you feel like you need to reciprocate.
You did one yesterday,
not quite to that level of anything like that, Jono,
but we noticed it yesterday, the awkward interactions with O'Connor from the Hits radio station. I don't even think you realised you reciprocate. You did one yesterday, not quite to that level of anything like that, Jono, but we noticed it yesterday,
the awkward interactions
with Connor
from the Hits radio station.
I don't even think
you realised you'd done it.
No, you didn't realise you'd done it
and it wasn't like
a darling level or anything.
No, because this is a Jono staple.
Yeah.
He said, have a good flight
and as we walked off,
he went, you too.
And we were like,
me and Megan were like,
he's not flying anywhere,
you idiot.
He's like, you too, mate.
You're so awkward
Thanks
I remember one
We ran into a lady
Out there
And she
She looked a little frazzled
You know
Had probably
The weekend had been
Treating her well
And she's like
I named my kids
After you two
And I was like
Your kids
Your kids
You named your kids
Shono and Ben
And I hugged her and I said,
have a photo and I said, look at this hero
naming her children after us.
And then he
reckons he heard, I named you
my cats after you.
Yeah, I was pretty sure it was cats. You know how he mishears
something quite a lot of the time? He was really good
at it. I mean, great, the cats still went away.
She said kids. 100% she said cats.
I stand behind them with cats.
More appropriate.
Weasel's probably more appropriate, to be honest.
The hits.
The Jono and Ben podcast.
You named something you want me to do in there.
Couldn't get it done.
The Olympics.
We'll go live to Paris again with someone who should be on the payroll,
but isn't.
Cherie Kinnear from the New Zealand Herald.
Nice to talk to you again.
Lovely to be here, guys.
Now, Sheree, it's been a magnificent week and a half so far for you at the Olympics.
Just want to ask you on a personal note, your high and your low?
Oh, that's a really good question.
I must say yesterday for me was a massive high, which was I went to go watch the canoe
slalom cross where Finn Butcher won gold.
Not only was it awesome to be
there to chat to him and his family after the event, but the event itself was actually so cool.
I didn't really know what to expect. I'd never really watched canoe slalom and this cross event
was something new to the Games where they basically just launch four of them into the water at the
same time and they just battle it out on the course the whole atmosphere there was just incredible so I think so far that's been my favorite and a low probably having to sardine
into metros every day because it's just so busy at the moment in Paris and trying to get space
can I ask a question because we were talking about this after the show yesterday you know
you've been lucky enough to be at the stadium where the track and field's going on because you see like the 400 meters going on and they cross to like the pole
vaulting and then the javelins going on. I mean, there are multiple events happening at the same
time and then wherever you are, do you only see just a little bit of it? Yeah, it actually surprised
me as well because I didn't really know what to expect with that either. But I remember getting
there on the first day and I was like, oh wait, hang on, the shot putters are warming up over
there and now we've got a race here.
So there is a lot going on at once.
And I guess depending on where you sit in the stadium, you'd get a better view for a different event.
But the events kind of pause between each other.
So they'll do a sprint while the shot putters are maybe having a break or quickly warming up, whatever.
And then once the sprint's done, then they'll go back to throwing.
It's not like the, you know, big actions happening at the same time.
It's sort of tag teams between.
They're like an air traffic controller.
Bring on the sprinters, bring on the sprinters.
Stop the javelin, stop the javelin.
You don't want the javelin going on when people are running around the track and stuff.
So yeah, very interesting.
Because I saw a pole vaulter.
She was doing her run up as people were clearly cheering for something else.
Yeah, I think, yeah, there's lots of, because there's so much going on.
And often when one event's sort of
just wrapping up that round,
they'll start introducing the athletes
coming through that tunnel
for the next race or whatever.
So you do often hear in the background
people going crazy for something else.
It looks enormous, the stadium.
How many people does it seat?
Up to about 70,000 at some of the events
here at Stade de France.
So yeah, and it is one of the,
if not the biggest stadium, I think, here at Stade de France. So, yeah, and it is one of the, if not the,
biggest stadium, I think, here in Paris for the Olympics.
And a swim yet in the Seine River.
Yeah, because I saw some of our athletes got E. coli
or something like some sort of poisoning
after swimming in the triathlon.
Yeah, it's an ongoing talking point
because I know today as well they had to cancel
another one of the swimming training sessions
because it's just become very problematic.
And, yeah, I've also read that there's been a few athletes fallen ill.
Luckily, none of our triathletes, as far as I know.
I spoke to Hayden Wild yesterday, and he seemed fine.
None of them looked unwell or sick.
But, yeah, it's continuing to plague the games.
And what about a favorite thing you've eaten?
Because you're in France.
Oh, yeah.
I mean,
you can't go past just a really good croissant here.
You really can't beat them.
Um,
once you've tried them in France,
you can't go back to what we get back home.
so just anything like pastry wise,
it's pretty much the,
uh,
what the croissant is to France is what the sausage and white bread is to
New Zealand.
Yeah.
Okay.
Next,
next 24, next 24 hours for New Zealand.
I know about this time tomorrow we're going to have three pole vaulters
in the final.
Lisa Carrington seemed to have started today.
We've got some cyclists going on.
What can we look forward to?
Yeah, as you mentioned, the pole vaulters will be a really cool one to watch.
And we've actually got 20 through to the final.
So they've had to sort of extend the event.
So it's going to be a really interesting one. But amazing to have all three of our women in there Lisa Carrington as
you mentioned so she started her campaign today and started off with a perfect start so all looking
good for her also our track cycling so the team pursuit woman we've got the medal finals for that
tomorrow and I believe as we speak there's the men's team pursuit
are racing so they're also looking
really good so we could get another medal. So hopefully
tomorrow we could add something
to our medal table. Before you go actually
we've got our own torch ceremony
nothing, can we just say nothing?
We'll publicly state there's nothing to do with
the ceremony you're at at the moment. It's coincidence
that we decided to do it while a vent was going
on but we've got a torch in the studio.
It's live streaming.
We don't know how old the batteries are.
But when the torch runs out, someone who's guessed the time will win $500.
Is it just a battery torch?
Just a battery torch.
Just your classic dolphin one.
One you'd pull out in an emergency.
Surely it was a week too much?
I don't know.
I have no idea.
No one has any idea. I don't know. I have no idea. No one has any idea.
I don't know.
The thrill is we don't know
how much battery's been sucked out of the battery.
Yeah, they're not new batteries,
so we're not sure.
Oh, very interesting.
I'll have to keep in touch with that one too.
It's definitely the most exciting thing
you're dealing with.
Yeah, what is that?
We can get your media accreditation
for this one as well too if you want.
You can come watch it.
The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
Megan.
I don't like the way you tease that, Come watch it The hits The Jono and Ben podcast Megan Shocking
I don't like the way you tease that
That one of us had a parenting fail
Well it's an absolute fail
Your kids are swearing
Let them down
Don't say kids
One of them
Three year old Basti
The youngest
We
No
We try
Abbey's not to
Say any bad words in front of him
Like we're very careful With what we say in front of him So don't actually I try not to say any bad words in front of him.
We're very careful with what we say in front of him.
So I don't actually, I'm wanting to say that he hasn't picked this up. Oh, so you say you don't know where he got it from.
Yeah.
Maybe he's picked it up from another kid at daycare.
Well, you did show us a video of him playing the drums to Thunderstruck.
Yeah, true.
I feel like he's about two months away from his first burnout.
Yeah, probably.
But I'll replace the word with, what can I replace it with so that I can tell you how it was done?
Fridge.
Fridge.
Okay.
So he dropped something on the floor and it was quiet.
He didn't have a meltdown or anything.
It broke.
And he went, oh, fridge.
And I went, sorry, what now?
What did you say?
And he looked at me with a little smirk on his face and he was like, no, nothing, nothing.
I was like, no.
Oh, so you knew the word and you knew the context
to use the word too.
I think he did, yeah.
He was like, nothing, nothing.
I was like, I don't know.
We don't use that word here.
Don't act all high and mighty.
We don't use that word here.
You use the language I hear out of your mouth and hair.
Excuse me.
You're saying not a couple slip past the goalie?
Maybe.
I don't know.
He's also used the Lord's name in vain a couple of times too,
and I'm like, no, say cheese and crackers, please.
So now sometimes he's like, oh, cheese and crackers.
Yeah, you've got a full-blown bogan on your hands there.
But mind you, I reckon if you had stayed in Nelson
and got pregnant at 17, you've got the bogan.
She's got some big bogan-y about her, doesn't she?
I do come from a bogan family.
You know we love the V8 supercars.
You do love your car racing.
So maybe it's just in the DNA.
That's fine.
And it's cute when they do it, isn't it, when the kids do it?
Is it?
I was just mortified.
It is a shocking reflection on your parenting, but it's still so cute.
Very cute.
But they say they can get you in trouble at times because they've got no filter.
They can't read a room.
Can they, children?
No.
They don't know the tone and how to behave.
Like we were at a mall.
Jesus, Oscar must have been about three or four.
And we're sitting down there.
We're like at a coffee club or something.
We're sitting next to a lady.
And she had had, she'd had some surgery done on her face to maybe appear more youthful.
And that's good on her.
Good on her.
Do what makes you happy.
And then she's talking away, and she's talking to him,
and he's like, why is your face not moving?
And I'm like, hmm.
No filter from the kids, eh?
No filter.
But she came back with a beauty.
She's like, darling, I'm spending a lot of money
to try and get my skin looking like yours again.
That's a good comeback she saved it
alright so your kids said
what we'd love to hear from you
the hits the Jono and Ben
podcast talking about how your kids
are saying stuff often when they're younger
they've got no filter Megan's kids are already
dropping f-bombs not
all the time if his grandparents
are listening you're gonna go and buy him his
bloody first monster
energy flat peak i've ever taught teaching my daughter sienna i'm not teaching you i was asking
about anatomy and you know you explain situation and and these days they're like you need to
not use you know you use the appropriate terms they're anatomy correct so i explained to her
you know about uh the terms and then she didn't say anything she just kind of listened and i was
like good we had that conversation moved on three or four weeks later and mentioned that we're walking through
our customs and she just yelled out penis quite loud as we got to the guy she wasn't seeing one
or anything oh that's good but that was such a weird thing and I was like what that was just
obviously as a the guy I buy he's like what did no one really said anything after that but it was
a very awkward does she know that game awkward moment anything after that, but it was a very awkward. Does she know that game?
Awkward moment through customs.
Was it your mum, Jenny, who called yours a little?
Did she have a nickname for it?
She had all sorts of strange nicknames.
I don't know if she called mine in particular either.
Do you know, I don't know if this is appropriate,
but my mum called a female pea a peachy.
So anytime anyone sees things like flavours and stuff, I can't get past it.
Oh, it's a peachy.
That generation, they like to come up, you know, like, what's it?
She's ruined.
Think and madink and things like that.
They like to have fun little names for it.
But yeah, now we just pulled the plaster off and used the proper biological term.
A text here on 4487.
We were catching the bus
and there was a lower leg amputee.
And my son...
Oh, God.
Jesus Christ.
That's so bad.
Oh, jeez.
I guess we asked for it,
didn't we?
Lower leg amputee.
And my son said
at the top of his voice,
look, Mum,
it's a transformer.
Oh, okay.
Like one of the transformers.
Yeah.
It happens, doesn't it?
Do you regret doing this topic?
Yeah, very much so.
Extremely, extremely, extreme regret right now.
It's just John Owen being on the hits.
Great text here.
Don't weasel out of it now, mate.
Great text here.
Backing out.
Great text.
I used to take the kids out, and I used to say to them when they'd hit their head by accident,
did you knock any sense into yourself?
And then I was at the supermarket, and my little boy about four hit his head,
and he screamed out, mum, I didn't knock any sense into myself.
Do you want me to hit my head properly?
Obviously, running the supermarket turns
around. One of those occasions
as a parent you can't get out of. We've got another caller here.
Let's go. Kylie, welcome.
Yeah, my daughter likes to make me feel
super uncomfortable in all sorts of
situations, but we'd gone out
one day into town and
gone to the shopping mall
and we'd obviously had a shower beforehand,
covered my body in talcum powder
at this time I had to go
into a public toilet with my daughter
and we're both sharing a cubicle
because it's super busy
I already know where this is going
and I pull my pants down
and start doing my business
and she yells out
obviously a toilet says no
you're not in your own room or anything.
Anything that's said, everyone can hear.
And she says, oh, my gosh, mummy, look how dirty your undies are.
They're all white.
And I just, like, yeah, just sat in that cubicle until I knew it was such a shame.
Just never.
You're still calling us for that cubicle now.
We don't do toilets anymore.
Yeah, we don't do toilets anymore.
Do it in your trousers.
Another great one here.
When my kids were very young,
they answered a video call from my mother-in-law
when I was in the shower.
And they brought the phone in.
They brought the phone into the shower.
Oh, jeez
Speaking of all things social media
I've been living a bit of a lie
Lloyd, a wonderful Lloyd
Who works here at work, Ben
You know Lloyd? Works upstairs
Very lovely gentleman
He messaged me
On Instagram
Beginning of last week.
He's like, hey, bro, I'm doing this thing, me and a few friends.
It's called 75 Strong.
And it's 75 days of working out 45 minutes in the morning,
working out 45 minutes in the afternoon,
drinking like 822 litres of water a day,
reading like 10 pages of a book.
Not an audio book, like an actual book.
Right.
Wait, what?
And it's called 75, and you do it for 75 days.
And he's like, love to have you doing it if you want to do it.
Yeah.
I'm like, I'm on board, man.
Oh, you haven't done one of these again, have you?
Why do you say you're on board?
Because I know you, you'll get two days into it, and you won't do it.
The reading part's probably going to be, you're not going to yeah you're lying so you did sleep it's like that fantasy basketball competition
that you entered and didn't even play a single round i know i know at least get into it your son
loves basketball we could have bonded over it's a fun thing to do strong uh 75 strong i tell you
what i'm too weak to do 75 so they're saying that but that's fine this guy hey it's not for me and
that's fine yeah it's like
and that's big sharing a book club with each radio station she's like do you want to be in it and i
said oh no no thank you but thank you for inviting me he's like yeah i'll go every week i mean did
you didn't want to say hey that's lovely it's like oh you will go we'll read a book every week i'm
like jono is not gonna do this you said hate books. How are you doing the reading part
of this challenge?
He's definitely
not going to do it.
It's okay to say no, Jono.
It's okay to do it
and it's also okay to go,
hey, maybe I will try it
because you might start reading
and go, oh, that's amazing.
So it's good to try new things.
But he's saying yes
with no intention of doing it.
That's the thing.
At least if you want
to give it a go,
you might go.
I gave it a bash.
I was like,
this is too hard.
I don't have time
to work out two times a day.
It's a lot of water. It's like a I gave it a bash. I was like, this is too hard. I don't have time to work out two times a day. It's a lot of water.
It's like a gallon of water a day.
How much is that in litres?
It's to better you as a person.
It's a great thing to do.
But 75 days, that's a big commitment, isn't it?
I did actually say to him, I said,
this would probably be the healthiest I've ever been in my 42 years
if I live these 75 days.
The thing is, I have enough chores in a day with two little toddlers.
I don't need to add, that just sounds to me like more chores.
You know?
I've got to drink all that water.
That's almost four litres of water a day.
It becomes a habit, I guess.
It becomes a habit.
75 days, you're like, oh, this is me.
I feel like, you know, 10 times.
I'm sure you do feel magnificent at the end of it, but I'll never know.
I'll have to message him and go, oh, listen.
He probably knows I pulled out.
He probably knows.
He probably knows.
But it was a lovely, lovely gesture.
Maybe, okay, should I start it today?
No, you can.
That's up to you.
But don't tell anyone.
Just do it for you.
Don't do it for anyone else, but do it for you.
If you want to do it, great.
If you don't, then, you know.
But, yeah, but don't say you're going to do it without attention.
He's a very good ambassador for
healthy living. He has a
he's well known around the traps
as quite a creative man. Yeah, they call him Hot Lloyd
around here. I wasn't going to say that.
And I only assume he walks
into the room and turns the air conditioning up to 27.
That's right. That's why he's called Hot Lloyd.
So maybe you should follow
in his footsteps. Mate, how much hotter do you want me to be?
This whole thing is just oozing sexiness every morning
Couldn't have any more sexiness on this radio show
It's oozing something
Disney on Ice are back in Auckland
From tomorrow until Sunday
Still tickets available at Ticketmaster.co.nz
It's Disney on Ice road trip adventures.
They're incredible.
If you get the chance to go along, it really is an awesome time.
The kids, all families love it.
And we've got a double pass to give away,
and we're going to play a fun little game right now.
Megan, you've got the paper out.
What's the game?
I have written down on a piece of paper one to 100.
We're going to name 100 Disney characters.
If we do, we'll give away the
double pass the first call on our hundred the hits now no googling we as as the kids are saying
nowadays we are raw dogging it okay raw plutoing it if you will raw goofy in it yeah and it's just
purely off our brains we'll come together as a team the six o'clock club it seems daunting though
doesn't it but when you start thinking about all the disney movies and all that you know and i've got can i like i feel like i'm
cheating right now because i've got information about disney on ice that names some of the
characters so they feel like i've got these in front of me well you're a big disney fan yeah
you should kick it off well at a disney mickey mouse christmas jersey he wore last week very
controversial july christ jersey, but anyway.
Okay, well, on this, it says here,
least of the people you can see or some of the characters you can see at Disney on Ice.
So let's start with the easy ones.
Mickey.
I'm so happy you started with Mickey.
Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald are four of the big bangers that you've got to see.
Their main character syndrome.
Now, the other question I want to ask you is,
are we going movie to movie,
or are we just scattergunning, spraying the wall with Pepe Le Pew?
Scattergunning.
I'm happy with scattergunning.
Yeah, we can scattergun.
I don't know if Pepe, I think that was Warner Brothers.
But anyway.
I'm sorry, I think he's been cancelled.
So we're going to go that scattergunning as well.
See, this is why I'd be no good at this game.
That's why Google would help me a lot right now.
He was problematic,
wasn't he, Pepe?
Yeah, but that's why
we're not going there.
Not big on asking for permission.
And then you go,
okay, then you go to like a movie.
Like, what are my faves?
Not so, you know,
not your faves,
but Frozen.
Then you start looking
at the characters within that.
You go like Olaf,
you go Elsa, Anna.
So that's, you know,
once you sort of zero in on movies.
Okay, so. Let's say we've got to name the character. You can't you know, once you sort of zero in on movies. Okay, so.
Let's say we've got to name the character.
You can't just go the guy with the moustache on Frozen.
Well, so I've written down those three from Frozen.
Okay, great.
All right.
Now, there's 12 princes in total, 12 princesses, and 125 villains.
So they're basically the royal family.
So we should be able to get this.
I reckon we can get this.
I mean, you know, You start naming seven dwarfs
There's seven off the list
Plus Snow White
Let's go put Snow White on there
I won't try and name too many more
Because it's not up to me
You pretty much nailed 50
You just want to do this on your own
I think
I think he does
Can I have 10 minutes
Out of the show
I'll come back
I'll give you a list of 100
It's meant to be a collective thing
Where we get people
But you started with Pepe Le Pew
Well I'm going to be no help
So 800 of that 4487 on the text As soon as we reach 100 Pepe Le Pew. Well, I'm going to be no help. So, 0800 the hits.
4487 on the text.
As soon as we reach 100, the double pass to Disney on Ice goes to...
I'll back off.
I'll back off.
Well, you need to.
You've named like 58 already.
The hits.
The Jono and Ben podcast.
Set ourselves the task to name 100 Disney characters.
Can you keep the text coming through?
4487 or 0800 the hits.
When we get to 100 Disney characters, we'll give away some tickets to see some of those characters at disney on ice that
starts tomorrow till sunday tickets available from ticket master now no googling that's that's
our only stipulation if we catch you googling well legally there's nothing we can do uh we'll
just be disappointed and no one wants to feel like they've disappointed someone so we are raw
dogging it uh 0800 the hits 100 disney characters as soon as we get there we're going to give away Disappointed, and no one wants to feel like they've disappointed someone. So we are raw-dogging it.

Monique, welcome.
Thank you.
How are you?
We're doing well.
Are you wanting to just do one, or are you going to spray a whole bunch at us?
I can try and say a lot of them.
Okay.
What have you got off the top of your head? Okay.
Timon, Pumbaa, Simba, Nala, Mofasa.
Okay.
That's great.
Just pause.
Just ask my material because I can see Megan frantically writing these down.
She's written through the cast of The Lion King.
Great movie to start on too, right?
Yeah.
So Zazu and Kiara, Kovu.
Oh, you've really gone deep on your Lion King characters.
We'll go Zazu.
Oh, we've grown up with the Lion King.
I reckon we put a pin in the Lion King there,
because otherwise we'll just name 100 characters from the Lion King.
You know?
All right.
So what else would you like Monique to move on to?
Oh, Monique, have you got another movie or another show from Disney
that you'd like to name characters from?
Belle.
Belle, great.
Beast.
The Beast, yeah.
What else do you call that?
I think that was his name. Yeah. Oh, yeah. The Candle. The Candle, yeah. Beast. The Beast, yeah. What else do you call that? I think that was his name.
Lumiere.
Oh, yeah, Lumiere.
The Candle.
The Candle, yeah.
Oh, Lumiere.
I thought you said Julia.
I was like, who's Julia?
Well, it was the clock, but I don't know what the clock's name is.
No, but there was Mrs. Potts and Chip were the other two.
But, you know.
She kissed the Beast, don't you?
She kissed the Beast.
Well, they were.
Don't forget Gaston.
Gaston, you know, Gaston, the big, yeah, the big. Gaston. Definitely hadn't skipped our mom day at the gym, that kissed the beast. Well, they were... Guest on. Guest on, you know, guest on. Oh, guest on.
Definitely hadn't skipped mom day at the gym, that's for sure.
He was a big rig, wasn't he?
Did she smooch the beast?
I'm sure she fell in love with the beast.
Yeah, and they dance and stuff.
And smooch the hottie.
Maybe she...
I don't know.
I'm not sure.
I can't remember how that happened.
Okay, Monique.
Have you got enough out of Monique, or would you like her to bounce on to another one?
Oh, no, I think that's good for now, Monique.
That's a really great effort. You've really started things going for us. Okay, if we get to 100, Monique. Have you got enough out of Monique, or would you like her to bounce on to another one? Oh, no, I think that's good for now, Monique. That's a really great effort.
You've really started things going for us.
Okay, if we get to 100, Monique,
first caller's going to win the double pass to Disney on ice.
All right, good luck.
All right, thank you.
Appreciate you listening.
Brendan.
Yeah, g'day, morning team.
We've dabbled in the Lion King.
We've had a little play with Beauty and the Beast.
What are you coming in with?
Oh, I'll probably come in with oh, there's a couple
there, mate, that are doozies
from back in the day, eh? Like 101
Dalmatians. There's a few dogs in there.
Oh, you've named all the dogs. We'd have
100 characters right there.
