Starting point is 00:00:00 The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Cheers to Dilma, making the world a better tea. Hey, Friday night, went along to a dance recital. My daughter Poppy, heavily into dance, and a large part of her time is sitting outside dance studios, attending dance events, but it's beautiful. It's wonderful to see that she's passionate about something. That's great.
Starting point is 00:00:21 Yeah, that's what you want your kids to be, passionate about. Keep them off the bloody streets and off the ram rating, that's what I want your kids to be passionate about. Keep them off the bloody streets and off the ram rating. That's what I've always said. Off the vapes. Off the vapes. Off the TikToks. But in this hall
Starting point is 00:00:32 and the Warriors are on, obviously, and I could feel a lot of anxious fathers just, you know, when's this? I have shaky legs and watch checking.
Starting point is 00:00:40 Because it's eight o'clock kickoff for the Warriors on Saturday. So a little bit later, I imagine maybe it would have played into the hands of the people. Well, it did leave a little bit of carrot. You're like, oh, we the Warriors on Saturday. So a little bit later, I imagine maybe it would have played into the hands. Well, it did leave a little bit of a carrot. You're like, oh, we can get this done and get home.
Starting point is 00:00:48 You know, you could feel the tension in the room. But it's... Was there anyone with phones out? Could you see anyone? No, well, here's the problem. Because generally we like to sit a few rows back. Because some of the dancers, my son, Oscar,
Starting point is 00:01:03 he'll turn to me and go, I don't know where to put my eyes right now and I'm like just stare at the ground son Oh right and the way they're dancing The way they're dancing, the outfits but we were front row there was nowhere to hide so I couldn't see if anyone was on their phone watching the Warriors but there's a lot of staring at the ceiling, a lot of staring at the ground
Starting point is 00:01:21 You shouldn't be watching the Warriors unless you're like I'm watching the Warriors mate But then also you're in a position where you don't be watching the Warriors. Unless you're like, oh, I'm watching the Warriors, mate. But then also you're in a position where you don't want to be rude. These people have worked hard on their routine. Yeah, so it's watching your daughter. So I kind of go between ceiling, floor, watch a bit of dance, your sort of eyes all over the place.
Starting point is 00:01:38 Just keep things safe. But something happened over the microphone, and I think this is probably one of the top ten worst things that can happen to any human being, is when your car registration's called out. Oh, yeah. Who's driving an NQ4878 Hilux? And you're like, uh-oh, what's the Hilux sign? If you could please move your car at the moment.
Starting point is 00:02:00 And then they get into the next song. Now, obviously, the person who's owning the vehicle, they don't want to get up in front of everyone because then you know who's that person's getting up in a hurry. Who's responsibly parked so no one gets up after the next song. Registration in Q4. We've called the towing service.
Starting point is 00:02:17 Now at this point I'm like, bro, you've got to move that thing. You've got to stand up walk out, don't care. Even if you stand up walk out, drive off, don't come back. Yeah. You know, tell your daughter or whoever's dancing, they can just Uber home. But then the next song plays, comes back again.
Starting point is 00:02:33 Listen, at this point, I'm like, you need to move your car. The tow truck's on the way. And then she names the crime. She's like, you've parked across the principal's car, but the principal can't get out, has had a long week of work, wants to go home on a friend. You're blocking them in.
Starting point is 00:02:52 So now we know the principal's not staying to watch the dance recital. He's like, I'm out. I'm out. He's home for the Warriors. It was actually a drama. And what happened in the latest series of, oh, is this guy's car going to get towed?
Starting point is 00:03:06 Boom, some gentleman runs out, couldn't hold on any longer. And I don't know if he returned. And she's like, all right, well, here's the Danny Burke Dance Academy's rendition of My Neck, My Back. And the towing issue was solved. If you know, you know. That's when you were like, oh, my car's actually parked down there as well. I'm going to move it.
Starting point is 00:03:28 Everyone moved here. Just so you know. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Speaking of pools. Speaking of public pools. You were telling us before the show. You're going to hate this, Ben. So I went to a hotel over the weekend.
Starting point is 00:03:42 It was my birthday. And so we had a little steak. And I don't generally like public swimming pools. I'm scared of the plasters and the hairs and stuff floating. It's just like one big human soup. Exactly. You're pretty much all having a bath together. Yeah, but there's so much.
Starting point is 00:03:58 I do that. You don't let it get into your head. There's so much chlorine running through that thing that I think we're going to be fine. Certainly don't let that water get into your head. Ears. Don't put your head under. Kids do, though. Kids do. They don't care.
Starting point is 00:04:08 Yeah, they're fine. But I decided at the weekend I was going to go into, like, the hotel spa, which is really big. About 20 people can fit into it. Oh, yeah. So a lot of skin cells. I know. And someone turned on the jets, and, you know, when the bubbles have, like soupy looking you're like oh there's a lot of chlorine anyway so i'm already a bit of a germaphobe in that sense sitting there with 20
Starting point is 00:04:31 other people and in the corner is a guy uh i don't know i i have no idea where he was from maybe it was some kind of accent i don't recognize but i was like maybe this is what they do do the accent no is it important to the story are you doing like a boomer? No, but I was like, maybe. What you say. Maybe this, what he was doing is like more acceptable. Oh, gotcha. Okay. I love it when your parents tell a story,
Starting point is 00:04:53 then they whisper the race of the person. And you're like, well, does that have any bearing of what? No, not normally, right? No. So yeah, maybe it's more acceptable. But he was sitting there with his kid. I would say probably about nine years old. And the kid's sitting on his lap.
Starting point is 00:05:12 And he starts squeezing the dad's pimples. Oh, the kid does? In the spa. I thought the kid was doing it. We're all sitting in the spa Squeezing Not one It went on for like five minutes
Starting point is 00:05:29 And everyone's kind of just looking Being like Oh grim Like where is Where's the juice going Where's the juice going Conflicted Conflicted emotions about this
Starting point is 00:05:39 Because I actually google And YouTube Videos of that Oh you enjoy it don't you Huge fan Find it very relieving viewing Yes To watch But not bathe in No and YouTube videos of that. Oh, you enjoy it, don't you? Huge fan. Find it very relieving viewing. Yes, to watch but not bathe in.
Starting point is 00:05:49 No. No, I hear that. Although Jono, you were not on the show at the time, but Jono got called out. Someone had witnessed Jono poolside cutting his toenails. Are you joking? Trimming his toenails. No, apparently not. I mean, yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:02 Wait, what? They rang up, they're like, oh, they saw Jono walk past and was sitting by the pool and he was trimming his toenails. Like, into the pool? I don't know if he was trimming it into the pool, but. No, some context here. Yeah, yeah, not into the pool, but.
Starting point is 00:06:13 I was on a chair and I was like, well, I'm doing nothing else here. I may as well do some maintenance, some body, because, you know, you're just sitting there on a chair doing nothing. You've probably got your. Yeah. You're an efficient guy. You got your dogs out for the first time this summer, right? You'll have a look.
Starting point is 00:06:26 You're like, oh, yeah, maybe they do need a cut. I get it. I get it. But I'd probably go into a bathroom situation. Did you catch the clippings? They were all going onto a sort of a tiled grassy... No! Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:37 And it was a hits list of two. She phoned up and she's like, my daughter. My daughter texted me and said, don't come to the pool. Jono is cutting his toenails because she has a morbid fear of seeing toenails. You're just letting them ping everywhere. They're not pinging. In a public space. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:06:56 The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. I want to play a little game with you, obviously. It brings the world together, an event like this, which is the very special thing about the Olympics. We're all engaged in one event. That's very cool. Yeah. Thinking how many billion people live in the world.
Starting point is 00:07:11 But obviously there's loads of commentators and journalists from around the globe. And I'm going to play a little game with you, okay? I've nibbed some commentary here. And you have to tell me what sport is being commentated on. Okay. Good luck to you. Okay. The first one I will tell you is not actually an Olympic sport.
Starting point is 00:07:31 It's a little clue. Okay. Alright, take it away. This is a good exercise. They... Oh! It's coming! Wow!
Starting point is 00:07:38 It's coming! It's coming! So beautiful! It is in Chinese. Oh! So beautiful! So hot! Woohoo! It is in Chinese. No respect for the microphone or the distortion.
Starting point is 00:07:54 It sounds like slaps. Remember that game you used to play? Oh, yeah. When you slap someone else's hand. It was Formula One, wasn't it? It was Formula One. I thought it was like a Chinese version like a radio show where everyone's just talking all over each other at the same time and laughing loudly john i've been a megan of uh yeah of china yeah yeah uh so it was formula one i really appreciate the energy levels there yeah great
Starting point is 00:08:16 just bring down the mics a touch yeah right okay here's the next one it's norwegian It's Norwegian. That's great, Tommy. They're really into it. If you're listening to it, you're picking a race. Yeah. Quick, quick, quick, quick, quick. Is it like some sort of relay race or what is it?
Starting point is 00:08:43 Cycling. Who knew cycling could be so high energy? Something quite adorable and affable about international commentary, isn't it? And here's the last one for you. This is a little gimme. Okay, low-hanging fruit here. Goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal,
Starting point is 00:09:19 goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, goal, Goal! Goal! Goal! España! España! What do you reckon Megan? You reckon it's some sort of goal for Spain? Spain? Maybe? I don't know. He's really pushing something across the finish line. Brass sounds like he's on a loop. He does.
Starting point is 00:09:35 That'll be back tomorrow, the international commentary game. What was it? It was football. Oh, was it football? I didn't know that. He said goal about 82 times for Spain. That's what he was saying. Someone else has slipped into your DMs, Megan. Yeah, so if you ever have a conundrum and you want
Starting point is 00:09:56 the whole country to weigh in on it, we do it anonymously. Take your private issue public. Like, should we play a parody song to the artist? That's something we could come into your DMs for. Yeah, you can slide into my DMs like this person has. Obviously, again, anonymous. But yeah, let us know what you think and what they should do.
Starting point is 00:10:12 I have a best friend from primary school. We grew up together as mates and are still close to this day. I was the best man at his wedding. Our wives have become close and so have our kids. Both our families still go on holiday together. So that's the context of the relationship. Here's what happened. Recently, he told me that he stupidly kissed a colleague at a work function.
Starting point is 00:10:37 He hasn't told anyone else but needed to get it off his chest. His wife is awesome, but knowing her like I do, she would most certainly leave him if this ever came out. Here's my issue. My wife and I have very open communication. I hide nothing from her, and I feel like there's information I need to tell her, because if it were to get out that I knew, she would be very disappointed. But knowing her morals like I do, if I tell her, she will demand something is said to his wife.
Starting point is 00:11:04 I'm stuck in the middle here and to be honest, I wish he'd never said anything. It's a big load to carry. That's all I'm thinking right now. Don't tell me this.
Starting point is 00:11:12 Don't tell me. Do I keep this to myself or not? Damn. And elicit smooch. What smooching are we talking? Entry level smooching,
Starting point is 00:11:21 banging, you know, we open mouth, the tongue's getting confused with each other. What's happening? It's a work function, so you imagine it's probably more than just a peck. A smooch of passion.
Starting point is 00:11:31 A smooch. Right. Jeez, I don't know. Okay, your options are you take this to your grave, and, you know, everyone needs that one piece of information that slowly eats away at their soul until the day they die. That's an option. Yeah. That's an option. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:45 That's an option. The other option is you go and smooch someone from your work and you tell him that information, cancels out the smooching. Yeah, I don't know if that's quite the best option. What would you do? Megan, what's, I really don't know. It's a really tough position, a very tough position to be in. I just think honesty's got to be the best policy there.
Starting point is 00:12:06 I would tell your wife, and then if she tells you that she needs to tell the wife, then give your friend the heads up. But then you're like, yeah. Because he's saying, knowing her like I do, she would leave him. But it's a kiss. There's kids and everything involved. You don't know that. I'd probably do nothing, to be honest.
Starting point is 00:12:24 I'd probably not say anything. I'm with you. It's not my place.. You don't know that. I'd probably do nothing, to be honest. I'd probably not say anything. I'm with you. It's not my place. Honesty is the best policy. It's not my place to say something. It only sounds like drama will come if this information is out. Oh, yeah, especially if the wife's going to, yeah, but it's hard. Not that you ever want to levelise cheating in any way,
Starting point is 00:12:42 but in terms of it's not a rampant affair. No. It's not an ongoing thing. He clearly knows it was a mistake. He's not going to do it again. Yeah. Can you let it slide? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:12:53 What would you... Okay, you're the wife in this position. You find out three months later. What are you doing? Andrew's been smooching up one of the babes at the daycare. I would just go to therapy about it.
Starting point is 00:13:05 I wouldn't just like chuck it all in. She says that she's already had a divorce. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. Just to recap, if you've just tuned into the show, this was the message Megan received on DM. I have a best friend from primary school. They grew up together.
Starting point is 00:13:20 They're mates to this day. They're best men at each other's wedding. Their wives and family are friends now. But he confided in his friend and said he kissed a colleague at work. So now he's like, what do I do with this information? Do I tell the wife? Do I tell my wife? Because they have a very
Starting point is 00:13:36 open and honest relationship. But he believes that the wife would leave his friend if she found out. She'd always do what Katy Perry did. She put it into a song, didn't she? I kissed a girl and I liked it. Turned it into a hit song. She didn't really apologise for it though, did she?
Starting point is 00:13:52 We didn't know her relationship status though, I guess, at the time, did we? So, I mean, options available. He takes this to the grave, keeps quiet and just hopes that nothing comes out. I mean, if he's in him and his friend are the only two that know, obviously the lady's lips. She was involved at work. She knows. But I just, I don't know. A lot of
Starting point is 00:14:14 texts are coming in saying as the wife, they wouldn't want to know. To be honest, in real life, if this was me in real time, I would tell Jennifer, but she wouldn't say anything. She wouldn't say anything. We wouldn't say anything.
Starting point is 00:14:29 It's not your place to deliver that information. I mean, you could potentially have a conversation with them and go, hey, man, I feel like this is something that you need to open up about. Yeah. It's not your place to meddle. I'm not going to tell the wife, no. No. I wouldn't even tell my wife in this situation. Why?
Starting point is 00:14:45 I wouldn't tell my wife. Now, she's got the burden, you know? You're giving another burden to her, and she's got the relationship with her friend, and she's going to end up wanting to say something, so I definitely would not even tell Amanda in this situation. But if I was the wife and that had happened, I would want to know. Soph, your thoughts on it.
Starting point is 00:15:01 It's a complicated one. Hi, yes, my name's Hope. Oh, Hope. So I've been calling you Sophie for the last 10 minutes while you've been off here. Anyway, I like Hope better. That's a good name for you. What do you reckon, Hope?
Starting point is 00:15:17 So I think I would tell him he needs to tell his wife because it would honestly be so much worse if he found out from someone else. Yeah. I agree. I agree. Because I think it's the same situation. My ex did the same thing and he told me, yeah, I was a bit peed off, but I felt a lot better
Starting point is 00:15:42 that he told me and not someone else. That's good advice. Open honesty. Thank you very much, Hope or Sophie or whatever you like to call yourself. Really appreciate it. Tini Asha, welcome. Morning, guys. How you doing? Did I get your name correct?
Starting point is 00:15:59 Tini Asha. Tini Asha, but close enough. I've been called worse. Did you really? Was it a gag or not? Tini Asha. You just don't know. Tanisha.
Starting point is 00:16:12 Tanisha. I like Tini Asha too. Sorry, babe. What would you do here, mate? I agree with Hope. If he didn't want it to get out, he wouldn't have said anything to you. But it's not your place to say anything. He needs to tell his wife himself because that's the only way she's going to feel like she actually was respected enough to be given that honesty.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Yeah, I suppose there's that embarrassment of like, oh, how many people knew when I was just going about my day? And yeah, I get that. I get that. Well, thank you so much, Tini Asha. Lovely speaking with you. And you. Have a great day, guys. So many texts.
Starting point is 00:16:55 Stay shush. Keep silent. Act like you never knew. It's not your business. Don't say anything. I just think if you respect your friend's marriage, the only way that's going to carry on in a healthy way is if they talk about it.
Starting point is 00:17:08 It doesn't have to be that. It's a kiss. So what are you saying? Do we need to give a summary right now? I don't think he should tell her, but I think he should tell his mate that maybe she needs to have that conversation with him. Okay. Be honest and try and work through it. Wow, I'd love to be that mate today.
Starting point is 00:17:24 It's going to be a fun Monday night. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. You're saying when you... My last trip to Vegas, I was asked for my autograph. Because they didn't want my autograph, they wanted Amy from Evanescence. They thought you were Amy Lee. This, how does it feel?
Starting point is 00:17:42 It might have been the eyeliner. I did rock a bold eyeliner back in the day. Did you take the photo as Amy Lee from Evanescence? I tried to tell them I wasn't her and they thought I was being coy. So I signed an autograph and took the photo. Did you write the words Amy Lee? Did you? I did.
Starting point is 00:18:00 Do you know someone's gone back to their hometown and gone, look who I met in Vegas. And everyone's like, that's not her. Do you know this is actually producer Taylor and Marcello's karaoke song? Is it? Can you sing it, please? Please sing it, Taylor. Come on in, come on in, producer Taylor.
Starting point is 00:18:15 Come on. Oh, jump on that one, yeah. I sung this beforehand. I said it was the one and only time I'll ever do this for you guys. Can you do it once more? I can't. I can't. I can't. Does Marcelo do the,
Starting point is 00:18:27 wake me up? Yeah, he chimes in. And he sent that song from, what, In the Shallows? Oh, yeah. They used to go to, yeah. In the shall-a-la-la-low. I'm actually going to karaoke next Saturday

But you're not going to do it for us on a Monday best friend's hands so i can record this yeah do please but you're not going to do it for us on a monday morning at uh you need to warm up the voice don't you people just deserve so much better for their monday like i just feel like that's a really really belted out did you really yeah yeah like i've like cried once can you record it for us like just voice voice record it for us you don't have to film it next time you go oh yeah on stage we'd love to play that well i put on like a whole thing so i will record it for you i've cried performing yeah i brought myself to
Starting point is 00:19:09 tears real crescendo like the real build-up right now okay is that the best karaoke song oh under the hits or four eight seven like is there a better song that's producer taylor should be singing oh i'm i'm open to recommendations okay what's your go-to karaoke song with the hits? The Jono and Ben podcast. Just talking about Producer Taylor's wonderful karaoke song. She loves Evanescence, comes in as a duo with her husband, Marcelo. And it is a wonderful two-person song, this one, isn't it? Boop, boop, down.
Starting point is 00:19:38 Boop, boop, down. Megan was confused for the singer of this band. Amy Lee, yep. Got a photo, signed an autograph as her. As Amy Lee. And I just threw it out there. I was like, is this the best karaoke song? Is this the song that producer Taylor should be singing?
Starting point is 00:19:52 Yeah. Just a quick question on that Amy Lee thing. Did they ever ask why was Amy Lee talking like, hi, it's Amy Lee here from New Zealand? There was a lot of questions that could have been asked. And answered. Yeah. And solved.
Starting point is 00:20:05 Daryl, you're on. Better karaoke song for Patricia Taylor. She's off to a hen's do. She needs a repertoire of songs. What are you suggesting? Mate, I was thinking tequila. I think it's something with the chants. That's the best karaoke song you can have.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Well, there's only one word, isn't there? Ba-ba-da-ba-da-ba-ba. Tequila. There's a lot of darts. best karaoke song you can have. Well, there's only one word, isn't there? Tequila! There's a lot of darts singing happening A lot of you just darts singing, gyrating on stage. Do you want to know?
Starting point is 00:20:32 Here I go. Is he going to start singing? Not yet? No? Daryl's up there. Are you still up there? Okay, he's dancing.
Starting point is 00:20:39 Maybe he'll start singing now. We'll all tie him a Daryl. Wait for the first tequila, baby. I do like this. It's a Gary song. This is a song for someone who gets forced to do it and doesn't want to. It's a lot of dancing, which is going to make you feel a little bit awkward.
Starting point is 00:20:54 But I'll be like, yeah, all right. Here we go, guys. He doesn't kick it. No, not yet. Daryl's still there. He's still there. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Here we go. Coming. Tequila. Tequila. And then back to the... Oh, I love that. I think that's the best karaoke song ever. Oh, Daryl.
Starting point is 00:21:18 I don't think you can beat that, Daryl. We're going to hook you up with some hell pizza. You have yourself a wonderful week, mate, our day. Oh, thank you, Jonah. Thank you, Ben. Thank you. Thank you, producer, as, our day. Oh, thank you, Jono. Thank you, Ben. Thank you. Thank you, producer, as well. The hits.
Starting point is 00:21:28 The Jono and Ben podcast. Yeah. It's also a big day for me, guys, because I think I'm pretty much at the end of my chats about going away overseas. What do you mean? Hold on, hold on.
Starting point is 00:21:38 It's the last time you can probably play this, Jono, to be fair. Have we milked All the USA content Well there's probably more But I'm starting to get Really self conscious About it
Starting point is 00:21:48 So I'm not Let's do text poll 4487 Are you sick of Being in the USA The last time he'll mention it Is telling us That he's got nothing
Starting point is 00:21:56 More to mention We'll do an audience Research poll 4487 Would you like more USA content Or do you think Probably not
Starting point is 00:22:03 You know Because I did go over and visit some family. But one thing, one moment that was actually really cool that I got to experience over there. My daughter, Sienna, one of my daughters, really into acting and musical theatre. She does a lot of shows. And everyone kept saying, you're going to New York, you need to take her to a Broadway musical show. Yeah. And then I went, yeah, I do.
Starting point is 00:22:20 And then I looked at the prices and I was like, ooh, okay. Maybe I don't. Maybe I don't. But it's incredible. Can I take her to the movies instead? It's, Ooh, maybe I don't, maybe I don't. But it's incredible. I take it to the movies instead. Incredible. You go, you know,
Starting point is 00:22:28 like shows come to New Zealand, you know, like Hamilton or whatever. And they play for two weeks, but over there, there are shows. There are hundreds of shows every single day. And they do it twice a day.
Starting point is 00:22:37 It is Hamilton, Lion King, Aladdin, back to the future, wicked, you name it. The shows is just on seven days a week. It's incredible.
Starting point is 00:22:44 And they kind of run indefinitely until people don't go anymore until people get bored of them like Ben and the USA stories exactly so I took my daughter my wife and I
Starting point is 00:22:53 were like well maybe just two of us should go because it's quite expensive so my wife's like you two show ponies you go you take your daughter
Starting point is 00:22:59 to see her along and so I did and it was a really special moment to go along to her so very excited about going as was I to go along and see Wicked the musical which is incredible
Starting point is 00:23:07 a story about the Wizard of Oz the back story of the Wicked Witch and that's the one Ariana's she's playing the the witch isn't she in the movie so it was really special we're sitting down there very excited and just as it started you know it opened Sienna gave me a little nudge and I was like what's going
Starting point is 00:23:23 on she was like she sort of motioned to the person sitting next to her it's like old mate old mate sitting next to her just had she just fallen asleep right right from the get-go now i understand probably quite sleepy conditions oh yeah that's the you know it's someone who does suffer from theater narcolepsy but let's address the sleepiness of the environment hadn't even started like it just started and he was already asleep well We're like, oh, well, let's keep an eye on not only the show, but also keep an eye on him
Starting point is 00:23:47 and his sleeping conditions. Like, turn the air con down, leave the lights on full. Then you'll get a more alert crowd. Yeah. And he slept, like, without a word of a lie,
Starting point is 00:23:55 through the first half. Like, every now and again he'd wake up briefly and join in on a clap. And then he'd nod back off again. Halftime, awake. And then second half, I'm like, surely he's had
Starting point is 00:24:04 all his sleeping. No, back to it again. I'm like, mate. And then second half, I'm like, surely he's had all his sleeping. No, back to it again. I'm like, mate, you've paid. I know what I paid. And we're like three rows from the back. And it's like, you paid a lot just to have a comfortable sleep in a chair. Who was he with? I think with, I'm guessing his mother's family.
Starting point is 00:24:17 I'm guessing they were tourists as well. Maybe it was definitely the Mrs. Dragon near Long situation. Maybe she wants some tickets off a radio station. He had a great sleep as well. I sympathise with him. I have been to a handful of musicals. School of Rock was awesome. Really enjoyed it.
Starting point is 00:24:34 But then our old producer, Dan, who now does The Breakfast Show on the Edge, Dan Webby, he likes musical theatre. He was in Les Mis. We all went along as a team. Les Mis. Come watch me do Les Mis. Now, I saw the He was in Les Mis. We all went along as a team. Les Mis. Come watch me do Les Mis.
Starting point is 00:24:48 Now, I was like, I saw the first half of Les Mis and I couldn't be more Les Miserable by halftime. What he did, he texted him. He texted the guy in the show and said, hey, mate, something like, oh, great show. Just wondering how long the second half is going to be. Oh, Jono. In the middle of the show, nothing would rattle me more as a performer.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Being like, you hate it that much. No, he had done an excellent job. He was so good. And I had all the references I needed to talk to him about the next day and go, hey, you did this, this, and this, to sort of signify that I was there for the whole time. I just wanted to know, for my peace of mind, how much longer I had to sit there for.
Starting point is 00:25:21 I was like, hey, just – and I didn't say it harshly. I was like, mate, you're nailing it up there. Great stuff. And then I kind of just segued it in. Just out of interest, how long is the second half? And he said, not as long as the first and it felt as long as the first.
Starting point is 00:25:36 Sleepy, sleepy good dude. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. The Outrage Game, we each look on the internet and we find an article where people have been outraged over something and then we tell the headline and the rest of us need to guess why they think they were outraged. I think we're too flippant with the term outrage nowadays. Someone writing a scathing comment on a Reddit forum is the laziest form of outrage.
Starting point is 00:25:59 There's no protesting, there's nothing. It's just some guy called a scrumpy 82 who's written something and forgotten about it and gone on with their day. So is it outrage or not? But the internet likes to claim it as outraged and Megan, what's your headline we have to try and figure out? A woman was slammed as the bad date after paying for the bill.
Starting point is 00:26:19 Ooh! Slammed as the bad date for paying for the bill. Maybe she used one of those bloody, you know how you get those big entertainment books? What are they called? Oh, yeah, they are.
Starting point is 00:26:30 The entertainment books. The coupon. And she used a coupon. No, she didn't use a coupon. Is that frowned upon? The kids used to come home and sell those at school. You used to buy one of these
Starting point is 00:26:39 entertainment books. The size of the Bible, those things. They're huge, eh? Enormous. You always get to a place and you're like, oh, I've got a thing for that at home. Yeah. But then you have an enormous amount of the Bible, those things. Huge, eh? Enormous. You always get to a place and you're like, oh, I've got a thing
Starting point is 00:26:45 for that at home. Yeah. But then you have an enormous amount of guilt handing over the coupon. And I feel like the person, the maitre d' behind the counter is like,
Starting point is 00:26:53 oh, you're a coupon person. I'll come up here. Here's my 25% off this meal. So it wasn't a coupon? It wasn't a coupon. Okay, what was it? So she was slammed by the date
Starting point is 00:27:03 and by people online because she paid for half of the bill, but the guy was like, well, I thought I was paying for the whole thing. I only got a glass of water and one main. If I knew I wasn't paying for the whole meal, I would have got more. I would have bought more.
Starting point is 00:27:17 So people thought she should have been up front maybe and said, we'll go half. It just seems like, yeah. He's a big backer of split the bill in half, aren't you? Yeah, split the bill. Yeah, people were saying right from the get-go she should have been up front that she was going to split. He's outraged because she paid for her share of the meal. Yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 00:27:35 Just take it as a win. Take it as a win. Oh, no, you don't like split the bill. You like to pay for what you order. That's his thing. Yeah. Well, especially in huge group situations. And then I'm kind of agreeing with you
Starting point is 00:27:45 Because then some people Drink way more than others Yeah that's fine And they're like Let's split it We ate the same I was like Yeah but you had like
Starting point is 00:27:50 20 beers That's what happens When you go out with Jono He's like You've had like 22 Heineken's And 10 steaks He just doesn't eat lunch
Starting point is 00:28:00 He's like Order some dinners And stuff Alright It's causing outrage. Outrage from the opening ceremony. Now, you guys might have seen this. It was outrage.
Starting point is 00:28:09 So I'm going to front foot it and say they had a parody of The Last Supper, which was, you know, backup dancers, drag queen performers celebrating the LGBTQ plus community, which is really cool. I thought they celebrated the community. But obviously people were upset because it's a Christian thing, and that was causing outrage. Who's to say there weren't any gays at the Last Supper? Exactly.
Starting point is 00:28:30 They might have been suppressing their emotions. Probably just in the way that they did it. They were body painted and stuff like that. They thought maybe this shouldn't have been done as far as a Christian scene, which I get. Christians don't like body paint? Well, it was just probably the way it was. It looked like it was mocking.
Starting point is 00:28:44 But there was one particular thing. Take that aside. There was another thing. There was outrage. Outrage over that as well. Around the Last Supper sketch. Yes. That not everyone spotted.
Starting point is 00:28:54 It went on too long? Yeah. To do with the guy who was painted blue. He was naked. You could see parts of him. Yeah. Was he fully exposed? Well, you could see apparently apparently, blue testicles.
Starting point is 00:29:07 Like, you could see. Blue balls. Blue balls. Yeah. People watching, they're like, is this a wardrobe mishap? Or is this intentional? But little dangly little, yeah, apparently. So that's causing outrage as well.
Starting point is 00:29:19 On international TV too. I know, international TV. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. Now, Megan's just flashing through. She's in the Women's Weekly. Women's Day. And dressed with beautiful pink clothing, happy family,
Starting point is 00:29:34 kids looking wonderful, Andrew looking wonderful as usual. I thought there was a joke at the end of that. No joke, he was looking wonderful in there. You actually can't tell by looking at the photos that my daughter was having a massive meltdown the whole time. They managed to get some of her smiling. Lovely photos.
Starting point is 00:29:49 Yeah. Good thing about photos, everyone can look happy for a split second. Just that moment, eh? Speaking of which, on TikTok. Yeah, the disturbing TikTok cosmetic surgery trend going around and doctors raising alarm about it. Influencers are doing it overseas.
Starting point is 00:30:03 I don't think you need the doctors to raise alarm about it. I mean, each to their own, but it does seem very unusual, including getting pointed faces, so chin very, very pointy. So they're getting plastic surgery for that. Sculptured jawlines and massive, massive biceps. Oh, like Popeye arms. Yeah. Like huge.
Starting point is 00:30:20 After he said post-spinach, not pre. Yeah, you're right. Huge arms. But none of the rest of him you're right. Huge arms. None of the rest of him's huge. Just his arms. Just coming over with big arms. Nightmare putting on any business shirts or anything.
Starting point is 00:30:35 Yeah, but that's the latest trend going around. If there's one part of your body you could expand. Well, now you've all laughed. You just said because Ben went and got his butt done. That's right, he got a BBL over in America.
