The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Thanks to Challenge, putting the service back into service stations. Big news in the studio this morning, we've got new chairs. Well, actually the same chairs have been reupholstered. The other ones had holes in them. They look pretty terrible. It looked like rats had got to them. I know, it's got some of the crust. Yeah, they looked like the chairs of a meth dealer, didn't they? But then, Megan, you were just saying, these ones are a bit hard.

The other ones, almost my bum sort of, I've it work it kind of fit fitted into it yeah when you get new undies and you're like you know the old holy ones were really comfy and molded to your cheeks yeah they they will mold around your bony little bottom there ben boys um yeah you're like goldilocks nothing's perfect it's too soft too hard you're blind there are lovely they do look lovely now. No, I won't say that. What? Are you talking about reupholstering them? Yeah. Don't go there. No, but these chairs are quite expensive, aren't they?

Wouldn't it be cheaper? You know what I'm going to say. Wouldn't it be cheaper just to get new chairs? Yeah. But it obviously wasn't. Hey, we're saving the environment, right? That's good, you know? Less landfall.

Don't you remember, they're lovely, beautiful. Beautiful upholstery. I'm just happy now when guests come in, they're not like, oh? That's good, you know? Less landfall. Don't get me wrong, they're lovely. Lovely. Beautiful. Beautiful upholstery. I'm just happy now when guests come in, they're not like, oh, what's wrong with your chairs? Yeah. Let me see the Prime Minister sitting on one. Yeah, I know. It's a bit manky.

Producer Taylor's coming. You want to propose a situation to us? It's a thought-provoking question. Okay. And I'll just preface it by saying there is only one correct answer. Okay? All right. If you could pick – no, sorry, I started that wrong.

So this is part of it. Yes. So make these two correct answers. I love how you're like, how does it start? It's thought-provoking for myself. All right. Would you kiss your wife for $100 or the most beautiful woman in the world for a million dollars?

Now, there's only one correct answer. Okay, well, can I have a conversation with my wife? And we can enter into a negotiation. Surely a man would understand if it was a million bucks. He'd be like, oh, hey, we're going to split for a kiss. So I'm'm gonna say again there's only one correct answer and you guys aren't thinking is your wife still with you after you've kissed the most beautiful woman in the world but like surely your wife would

because then your wife gets a million dollars yeah no i think i think your wife's the most beautiful yes that's the answer so the correct oh, well, that doesn't make sense because my wife's the most beautiful woman in the world. That's what we should have said. See? You groomed us. You groomed us and led us down a path to make us look like horrible women. I'm sending the audio to the management channel.

Don't delete this footage. Delete this footage. Okay, flip it around the other way. A man comes to me and she's like, hey, I'm no Ryan Gosling. I'm no Ryan Gosling. You know, like I'm going to go a million bucks for Ryan Gosling. He's, you know, like I'm going, yeah, fine. What do you mean, Ben?

Kiss him for a million bucks. He's saying reformat the question and ask his wife. Yeah, and I would understand if she went, hey, a million bucks. Can I kiss Ryan Gosling? I'll be all right as long as we get to, you know, keep the money. I reckon you jump in and go, I'll do it. I'll kiss Ryan Gosling I'll kiss Ryan Gosling

For a million bucks Absolutely Gasser journalism there Taylor Gasser this is why The news is struggling mate Stuff like that What would Andrew say He

I do know what He would probably honestly say But you're the most beautiful Can you He wouldn't mean it He wouldn't mean it He'd be like Mila Kunis In his mind but

Ask him and record it please Let's call him after seven okay if you back him to say no you're the most yeah

I honestly reckon he would say it really yeah sickening he's a real mad boy don't text him before

no I won't we'll call him after seven and we'll get Taylor to ask him a question yeah release the audio delete this what's just happened here start again after seven we start yeah and we'll get tailored to ask a little question release the audio delete this

what's just happened here start again after seven we'll answer the question Megan were you a fan of the

side fringe I think I had one apparently it was a big thing of the 2000s when you look back Mary-Kate

and Ashley Olsen Nicole Ritchie Beyonce Lindsay we're all rocking the side fringe. Does Beyonce have one even? Apparently it's coming back. It was just over one eye.

Yeah, you know, just side fringe. So Kim Kardashian, Selena Gomez, Kylie Jenner, Dua Lipa. They are too, aren't they? They're all rocking the side fringe from the 2000s. Because it was curtain bangs for a little bit. So that's like, you know, short fringe that parts in the middle. So you've got like a curtain on your face. How long did that last for?

I don't know. That was fleeting. Did you do a lot of these? I mean, I can't talk. I've currently got blonde hair at the moment. Yeah, yeah. So when you have to talk to someone, do you have to separate the curtains to have a conversation?

You're constantly pushing them apart, being like, I can see. Right at the end of an argument, you're like, and that's it. Argument over, fringe together, I'm not talking. Wander around spending your day like Sia. Shows over. Wandering into doors. So the side fringe, I was looking at images of it, perfect too if you've got conjunctivitis in one eye.

Yeah. Good coverage. I used to have a long, did you have a long fringe at one stage? I did have a long fringe. Yeah. Mum used to get annoyed with it. Every time she would, Jenny would be like, oh, can you get off your face for a photo?

Just take it off. Oh, mum. Like an emo fringe. Yeah, for a little bit. You know, it was short around the sides and a long fringe. Not for long. No, but I did have that. What kind of music were you listening to at the time? Oh, it definitely wasn't emo.

But I was trying to be cool, you know. And mum was, yeah, mum would always go, oh, Ben, can you put it just off your face for a photo? Oh, mum, all right. Some of them would grow them past their go, oh, Ben, can you put it just off your face for a photo? Oh, mum, all right. Some of them would grow them past their chin, eh, and you could flick them back over your hair. That was the thing, too. But the rest of your hair was, like, shaved short.

You just had the power fringe. Like a young person's comb-over. Like a front mullet. Yeah. Mullet. It'll probably come back again. It will. You know?

It's the thing with fashion, and it kind of makes you feel old when things come back around, and you're like, I remember this the first time. Tell you where it won't be coming back, mate. On top of my head. Don't try and lump me into this conversation. You can get clip-ons. You can clip on a fringe.

The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. We like to do this every week. And thanks to your suggestions that gets, well well earlier and earlier because it gets a little rude right? This is double entendre radio at its absolute worst ladies and gentlemen sexy no no things you can say on the show

we do a lot of sexy stuff before 7 o'clock don't we we've got that other one what's that? Sexy text we do like to do that before a lot of sexually charged content between 6 and 7am you wouldn't expect it though would you on you, on this show, would you? These are things you can say in the bedroom and dot, dot, dot. And every week we put a different scenario out there.

Today it's on holiday. Oh, that's right. Well, giving us the school holidays an appropriate time to combine the two topics. It feels a bit weird saying school holidays, right? So you just say, if you're going on holiday, you know, this is things you can say in the bedroom and on holiday. You bloody kids, shut up. I'm trying to concentrate in here.

One of those. That's one. I think it's very... There's one that actually came through. This is so much better without the kids around. There you go. Things you can say in the bedroom and on holiday. Here we go. I thought you said you didn't need directions.

Now we're going to name and shame some people came through Amy said jeez it's a bit sandy in there I saw that on her Facebook page I didn't quite

I don't know again you can definitely say that it depends what your bedroom is if it's a tropical location yeah I was like okay

so thank you Amy for that on Facebook we should do this same time next year. Hashtag married life. Angela said, I can't believe it's over already. Definitely something you'd say in the bedroom and on the holiday. Ben's heard that before. Yeah.

As I said before, it came through. This is so much better without the kids around, which makes it. Why are they around? Yeah, but anyways... You could also be like, ouch, it really burns. The sun... Oh, yeah. The sunburn.

Oh, God. Another option here. Here we go. Things you can say in the bedroom and while on holiday. Let's stop here for a bathroom break. Have you ever been to take a bathroom break? Who's going that? And then coming back and being like, right, let's pick up where we left off.

Definitely a holiday situation. But yeah, maybe not the bedroom situation. Let's do a couple more. Is your mother coming with us? Okay. I think this will be stupid. No, we'll do one more. Cindy said, are we there yet?

Smokescreen the one before that. Things you can say in the bedroom and on holiday. As I said before, it gets earlier and earlier every week. We do appreciate all your texts. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. This Thursday, a very important day. It is Anzac Day, and the Warriors have a special Anzac Day match. They're taking on the Titans at Go Media Stadium.

And joining us right now, star front rower for the Warriors, Adam Fanoa-Blake. Good morning, Ian. Morning, guys. How are you? Yeah, good. Lovely to have you here with us. Megan's with us here too, mate. Morning. We were just Googling. You were voted the most fashionable player at the awards last year,

the NRL awards last year, and you had a beautiful Versace shirt on there, Adam. Oh, thanks, guys. Yeah, I like to look good. I've got a date night with my wife this weekend. Do you reckon I could borrow it? Although it might be a bit big on me. I'm pretty small. Take it, mate. Take it.

You can't see us right now, but who do you think is the most fashionable in the radio studio? You've got me, Jono, you've got Megan, and you've got Ben. Take a pick there, Adam. Oh, I don't know. Megan. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I don't know. Megan. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's got a lovely blazer on this morning. Although Ben's kind of going for Kurt Cobain vibes today with his cardi on.

A little bit of a cardi. He's getting a bit cold in there. We haven't talked to Adam just about – we talk about the Warriors, of course, another big game, Anzac Day game this week. Now, I guess it was a bit disappointing last week, the results. So how do you guys turn that around in such a a short few days um yeah it's pretty disappointing um our game on the weekend but um yeah we just can't talk about it now i think we just got to come into training um with a bit of an open mind um listen to the coaches points and um yeah just get ready for for a time

team that's been playing pretty good footy you're're like, well, at least there's another 480 games to play in the season. It's a long season, isn't it? Oh, yeah. You're not wrong about that. It's such an electric atmosphere at Go Media Stadium too when you guys play at home as well. Can you hear people yelling out advice from the grandstands when you're playing, Aidan? Yeah, I can definitely when I'm about to take a kick-off.

A few coaches behind me telling me where to run and how to run. I just remember that's why they said no then. I'm about to take a kick off, a few coaches behind me telling me where to run and how to run, and I just remember that's why they said no then. I'm about to take the kick off. Yeah, you're like, hey, thanks, guy with no teeth. I'll do exactly what you tell me to do. We've got Adam Faneuil-Blake from the Warriors with us. A big game this Anzac Day, which is awesome. Now, Adam, Megan doesn't know that much about league,

but we want to get her an interview with Webby, the coach, at the end of the season. And we want her to pretend like she knows some things. So is there one thing that she could bring up? One sort of question or anything to make her sound knowledgeable? So far, you've learned a few things. Yeah. The processes was one of them.

Stay on the launch pads. On the launch pads. Does that make sense to you? Yeah. A lot of the stuff we didn't quite make sense to us. Is there anything that she could maybe bring up? Just ask him how important it is to stay teacup. Stay teacup, did you say?

Yeah. How important is it to stay teacup? Okay. Yeah, great. That's not going to get here cancelled? No, no, no. He'll probably be scratching his head like, how do you know that? Okay.

This is a good one. I like this. Teacup. Can we ever guess what teacup is or are you not going to tell us? Are we allowed to know? Is that like some kind of special play? Nah, nah, nah. It's not a special play.

Can't give you those ones. Hands on your hips? Is that a teacup? You know where your hands on your hips when you're tired? Nah, nah, nah. Okay. I'm thinking too hard into this. Yeah, let's each have a guess okay

that was mine that was hands on the hips not that not it okay stay teacup i i i feel like it's a metaphor that like hey let's keep the tea in the cup don't spill any secrets about the team or our club oh yeah no no no no okay okay uh megan you know i was going formation but it's not that okay what is that what is it no you know when you're having a tea, you're nice and relaxed. Ah. So he's saying stay relaxed. That's Webby's metaphor for staying relaxed. Ah.

Because I noticed you guys, you know, often when you, like, score a try, you get together as a team and do a huddle, and you sort of, like, do sort of deep breathing together. Is that something as well to sort of stay you guys relaxed and focused? Do you want to start on not sure the science behind that. That was a happy moment. They're just puffing.

No, no, no. We'll get up. I never ask the question. I saw everyone else doing it. I thought, oh, I better join in. You're a good team player.

That's what we love about you. I just follow the lead. We're going to miss you when you're not at the Warriors next year, but we've got the rest of the year to look forward to seeing you out in the park, and hopefully it's going to be a big one.

All the best for Anzac Day, the big game. Yes, thanks, guys. We've been part of that talk about the Taylor Swift new double album that just dropped over the weekend. The biggest thing on Spotify, even record sales were huge cassettes. I was surprised about. A lot of cassettes. Don't tell me they're making a comeback.

I threw out all my cassettes. You've got nothing to play in on. CDs, cassettes, it was all bought. I don't know. Taz bought it out. She bought it out on everything, mate. CDs and cassettes, damn. What about Dat?

Did she release it on Dat? I don't know. Maybe she probably has. It's out there everywhere at the moment. Everyone is picking apart the lyrics. Obviously, Kim Kardashian, we think, you know, and the whole world thinks that she's been kind of slandered a little bit because they got a little bit of beef, you know, her and Kim, right, Megan?

Yeah, so, yeah, back in the day, the whole snake thing that Taylor has adopted is from Kim Kardashian. She basically called her a snake. You can go into the whole history of that feud, but her new album has the song Thank You Amy on it, and the KIM is in capitals. So, I mean, it's pretty direct. And Kim Kardashian has just lost 100,000 followers in 24 hours.

Yeah, I mean, she's got quite a few. She's got 363 million. She'll be right. But if you go into the comments, she posted bikini pictures, so nothing to do with that. But everyone's just like, thank you, Amy.

Love the Tortured Poets Department. You are the snake. It's just all comments about... She's like, I'm just trying to get my baths out here, mate. Mate. No. Someone appreciate these? You should have just apologised

like your mum told you to. Everyone's just like, thank you, Amy. So, yeah. She's getting it. The internet's a beautiful place, isn't it Everyone's just like, thank you, Amy. So, yeah, she's getting it. The internet's a beautiful place, isn't it? I just love that we can all chat. It's the best and the worst of humanity, really, isn't it?

Everyone just likes to jump on the bandwagon. They're not really thinking about the people involved. No. Right? No, you're just like, yeah. If you don't think about it, don't think about it, because then you start to feel bad about yourself. It's a weird game, because I remember when it happened

and I was like, I'm on Kim Kardashian's side, and now I'm like, about yourself. It's a weird game because I remember when it happened and I was like, I'm on Kim Kardashian's side and now I'm like, I'm on Taylor's side. The next one will be like, oh, I forgot about that pretty quickly. I know, but all those nasty comments are still there

forever and ever. And that's the joyous thing. We can go back and relive those when she wants. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. Florence and the Machine. She's actually got a song

with Taylor Swift a very cool song Florida which the two of them wrote just the two of them no other writers right her voice is amazing

it's credible right yeah so good life she's obsessed with Florida there's something in the other song about Florida moving to Florida it comes up a lot right

I don't know what the reference is tax haven mate that's why Trump lives out of Florida he can avoid tax it is a tax haven now over the weekend my wife and, we were on an Uber, and we took quite a long sort of Uber taxi ride and got to listen to the Uber driver was playing his music,

which is fine, and wonderful song. I was singing along onto the back seat. Lionel Richie, Stuck On You, was playing. Stuck On You. Which is a wonderful song, right? So I was sort of singing along. As you do, you sing in the back. You're like, oh, that's cool.

You didn't try and make him change radio stations? Well, then the next song that played afterwards was Eric Clapton. It's a great song. And then I was like, oh, that's cool. I wonder what's going to be next. And then next was Lionel Richie, Stuck On You. And then I was like, oh, I've kind of already heard that song before. And then after that became Eric Clapton, Wonderful Tonight.

And I was just like, oh. And I went, oh, you like these songs? He's like, great songs. Great songs. I was like, it's just the two songs. He's like, yep, it's what I like listening to. He stuck on those two songs. Those two songs were the two songs that he loved to listen to.

He listens to it on repeat. Yeah, he's like, we're never in these. Oh, change. If you want me, I'll put the radio on. If you want me to put the radio on. I was like, oh, no, like, we're never in there. He's like, I'll change it. If you want me, I'll put the radio on. If you want me to put the radio on. I was like, oh, no, it's all good. Great song.

He's like, these are my two favorite songs. For his whole shift. And then, well, he's, yeah, he said, if you want to put the radio on, I will put the radio on. I was like, oh, it didn't worry me. But when he gets a moment to himself where he wants, those are the two songs. He's like, that's as great as music gets.

There's no better songs i mean you could talk i could talk about florence and the machine you know singing with taylor don't care mate don't care mate it's not stuck on you is her name florence lionel richie or eric claptor yeah i was like wow that's really so how many times you reckon you heard both those songs because it was quite a long yeah probably like went through probably four or five times of the same ones over and over again. And I was like, oh, okay. It gets a 25, probably 30-minute ride where my wife and I went, and we're like, okay, this is interesting.

So you've probably got another 10 years before you need to hear those again. That cup is full. I know, but hey. It was a very unusual thing for him to be running. But I was like, oh, good on him. A short playlist as well. Because on Uber,

I think there's a function where you can click don't talk to me. No comms. I don't want any comms. Who pushes that? I don't want comms. No, but I wouldn't push the button. No. That's very aggressive.

It is. And you're never going to tell the person in real life, sorry, no comms. People think, how's your day, mate? I push the button. I see no comms. It's an odd feature. People always say about the hits, oh, you play the same songs over push the button. I see no comms. It's an odd feature. People always say about the hits, oh, you play the same songs over and over again. Well, no, we don't.

The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Charlie, your family provides some great content for this radio show. Yeah, love it. The Lombardis, that's your maiden name. Yes, yes. Based in Australia? Yep, Cronulla, Sydney. And you said you're the only Italians in Cronulla.

Pretty much. Well, especially back in the day. Now more have migrated to Cronulla. What I love about them, I've never met them face-to-face, the Lombardis, but what I do love about them, what I hear from them, very theatrical. Yeah. Passionate, spirited. What did you say before, Megan?

You were like, yeah. I can't even remember. Very passionate people. Yeah, hand gestures't even remember. Very passionate people. Yeah. Hand gestures all the time. Did he just ask you to recall something you said three minutes ago and you can't remember? You were saying they're very expressive. Expressive.

Yeah. Expressive family. And you'll know why when this. So they've got a security camera at home which records everything. Audio as well as video. Yep. And this was what? What's it what is happening there, so this is my brother's house So he lives with his wife and their baby and this is outside

they're trying to put together um a lounge an outdoor lounge room oh that's that test city relationship yeah and my brother has never put a flat pack together ever in his life and so yeah they're just having an argument they're um just trying to do a normal thing but you know that that doesn't need to be released. They're in charge of... Yeah, yeah. They've sent that to the family, right? Yeah, so his wife, she loves sending us the clips. I think because she's like, look what I have to deal with.

You were scrolling through them before the show. You've got a TV series worth there. Yeah. Living with the Lombardis or something. Yeah, most traumatising, but yeah. So the most recent one that you guys got sent yesterday. Yeah, so my brother was walking in the house and he's taken a fall. Oh!

Oh! What have you done? I hit my head on that. Ow! Wait, did she just go, ow? She wasn't like, are you okay? She was like, she wasn't like you okay she was like do you i think you can hear she was like do you need some ice and he's like oh very expressive a lot of the other footage that probably doesn't translate to audio him just kicking kicking objects

kick over couches kick over baby toys they're trying to assemble. Yeah, this is just another day with Luke. Does Luke know he's being mined for content on the other side of

the Tasman? No, and they have no idea that he's playing on the radio. Oh right, so this is keep it between ourselves. Yeah, keep it between

us. Keep it off the podcast situation. Yeah, well thank you. One of my favourite ones was him and your father going toe to toe. Yeah, that was so What was that, of my favourite ones was him and your father going toe-to-toe. Yeah, that was so...

What was it, over a barbecue or something? I had to cook something on a barbecue, wasn't it? Yeah, he got a portable pizza oven. You know, one of those, like, small ones? And my dad's trying to assemble it for him, and Luke reckons he knows everything. So they just start throwing arms about that. I think he ended up kicking the pizza oven as well.

Yeah, he did. If it can be kicked, it'll be kicked on his security camera. Very expressive. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. The comedy festival is happening in New Zealand very shortly, but they have the Melbourne Comedy Festival on beforehand, and Arj Barker, he's an American comedian, you might remember

him from Flight of the Conchords. He was performing at the festival, and a bit of drama took place, Megan. So a woman was breastfeeding her child in the audience and Arj Barker asked her to leave. He said, you're distracting. So he wanted her to take, well, he asked the baby. He said the baby couldn't be here.

Yeah. But obviously that means the mum has to go too. I understand why that would throw him off his game i think a breastfeeding baby walks into a comedy show yeah i think at first it was he kind of dealt with then went on then he came back and the baby was making a few little noises or something baby as babies do and then he went okay no i'm gonna have to ask you to leave and it's become big news not only in australia but over the side of the world the mother uh was on the news this is her talking about it it wasn't fun

to be honest I was sort of breastfeeding at the time as well so I felt already really vulnerable oh yeah and it was humiliating and the dumb baby's

making noise as well she's on the news as well she's a dumb baby the baby is not at fault here controversial location to be breastfeeding hey breastfeeding Megan

I love how you come to me. I've breastfed two babies. Ever at a comedy gig? No. Would you? I wouldn't, no. But it's not illegal. She is well within her rights to be doing this. So to kick her out is actually

an interesting thing because you can basically do it from what I understand, looking up, you can breastfeed wherever not illegal but part of arja's argument first and foremost is that on the tickets it says it's 15 and older so the baby technically shouldn't have been there under that um but i just think you can breastfeed your child anywhere you can but there is also a time and place and what if the baby had got upset which babies do you're disrupting a show and an artist it's it's not really it's it's not respectful it's like when ben took his babies to mermaids that time didn't you you thought come on girls

i'll show you some real life mermaids it didn't happen to me by the way just to see you know well sometimes people don't believe you. Okay, what we need to do. I think she's well within her rights to do that. Oh, she is. She is. And babies can go to weddings and things when other kids aren't allowed and stuff because if they're breastfeeding. But a wedding, that's

hours. And it's a family event. This is probably one hour that people have paid to go to that don't know you. Your family are very welcoming. I feel sorry for her. She felt very humiliated by people yelling at her and stuff. To be fair, he could have got security just to go over and tap her on the shoulder. But then maybe they shouldn't have let her in in the first place.

We can't stop her though. Okay, this is what we want to check out there. But the tickets say 15 plus. But you can't, yeah, I get it. But you can't stop. That's kind of the technicality of the rule. Well, should you? Should you be allowed to breastfeed a baby anywhere?

Any location, any time? That's the question. Yes, you should be. But you also have to think what's respectful. No, but it's on you to be respectful of the environment you're in. But if she gauges it's okay. I'm just playing the other side of it here. If she gauges it okay.

We are opening a can of worms. We're chiming. 0800-THIS-4487. Should you be allowed to breastfeed a baby anywhere, anytime? Yeah, we'll get to that. To your thoughts. Right now. Should Ben start breastfeeding?

Oh, yeah. Well done by rights, right? The Hits. The Jono and Ben Podcast. Comedian Arj Barker, who was on flight of the Concords, the TV series. He has made the news at the moment because he asked a mum and her baby to leave his comedy show because having the baby there was ruining his train of thought. The breastfeeding mum claims she felt humiliated and it was intimidating to have the whole thing happen.

And yes, you feel sorry. I mean, in that instance, you feel sorry for her, what she had to go through. But at the same time, I guess the debate rages on. Even though you're allowed to, legally, from what we understand, bring a baby along. Should you be doing it morally

is probably the question, right? Is there a time and a place? The question is, can you breastfeed anywhere, anytime? Megan, you've used your breasts to feed. I have, twice. You said you did it while on air, on the radio. After I had my baby, I came in to visit and was talking to one of the shows.

And yeah, I fed him while we were actually talking. I see. So you'll breastfeed for Fletch and Vaughan, but you won't breastfeed for us. Is that how it goes? No, it definitely wasn't for Fletch and Vaughan. They would absolutely not enjoy that. How would you go if megan came in here and started uh feeding best to be fair it was another female and i i knew her that she wouldn't

be uncomfortable i would definitely not do it in front of you too because i i it's respectful i know i would make you uncomfortable well no it wouldn't i'd just be like dead steering you in the eyes anywhere else i wouldn't probably look over at you and be like, okay, cool. Yes, I agree you can do it anywhere, but it's my responsibility I think to be respectful of the time and place. Alright, well get your calls on 0800 THE HITS because as we said before,

legally, she's doing nothing wrong and it's quite a big thing to ask someone to leave when actually she has a legal right to be there. I think the big question is a lot of people in the general consensus is it's odd location to bring the baby in the first place. We're going to get Missy on the show. Welcome Missy your thoughts. Can you breastfeed anywhere anytime?

You can breastfeed anywhere anytime but I agree there should be a time and place and at a paid event where everyone basically can't get away from you that's not okay. Anywhere, anytime, but there should be a time.

Yeah. Up to your own discretion, right? But yeah, who's to say her discretion? She's fine with that, but other people are not. That's probably the thing. I'm just trying to play devil's advocate here. A baby doesn't belong at a comedy show. I don't think anyone agrees with that.

Yeah, it's not a Westfield mall. No. But legally, she's fine too. If she feels comfortable in that situation Yeah, it's not a Westfield mall. No. But legally, she's fine too. If she feels comfortable in that situation. Semantics, Your Honour. I'm just saying. More than comfortable in leaving. Ben's trying to defend.

Yeah. I don't feel sorry for her. She was humiliated, but at the same time. Missy, appreciate you calling up this morning. Natalie joins us right now on 0800 The Hits. Are you breastfeeding as we speak, Natalie? No, I'm driving to work. Well, you could right now. Legally, you can drive

and breastfeed. That's another question for another day. I don't like to try that. Anywhere, anytime, Nat? What do you reckon? Look, I'm also breastfeeding, but I think that's totally out of place. Disrespectful to the comedian,

to the same audience, and yeah, PC bullshit gone too far, man. PCBS, eh? We've got one of those calls on the radio. Absolutely. Sorry. I totally agree with you. Totally agree.

I think people are too entitled these days, and there is so much less respect. Do you realise you're talking to two middle-aged white guys? We don't know about entitlement. No. I have to say, I'm not sure I do either, but I see it a lot. Well, thank you.

I think so far, I think most people are agreeing with you on the text. Yeah, they are. And everyone agreeing with Megan Pappas as well. Yes. Doesn't happen often. Yeah. Just, you know, make your own call. Baby doesn't need to go to a comedy show.

It can't understand what the guys say. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. It was six o'clock this morning when the show started. We were thrown a very unusual question by producer Taylor first thing in the morning I love how you're trying to use the

time of the day to get away with your answer too much question for that time of the morning I agree it was a tricky

relationship question of which there's only one correct answer as John has said before it's framed in a way that you get the wrong

answer you know the answer that you want from us you want to make us look bad well I think that's the first

answer that would naturally come to your mind if you're in love with your wife okay so the question is that you want from us you want to make us look bad well i think that's the first answer that would naturally come to your mind if you're in love with your wife okay so the question is that you asked us would uh you could kiss your wife for a hundred dollars or would you kiss the most beautiful woman in the world for a million so the financials come into it okay straight away you start thinking of the financials would you be mortgage free exactly would you want you have a conversation with your wife understand say, it's a million dollars. Cost of living crisis. That's a lot of money.

That's a lot of money. That starts running around in your head. So this is the way the question is set up. Set up for us to fail. Yeah. And then halfway through, you were like, you're saying it wrong. There's only one clear right answer. And then it dawned on me that the answer that you were looking for was the correct answer, of course.

Yeah. Well, that doesn't make sense because my looking for was the correct answer, of course. Yeah. Well, that doesn't make sense because my wife is the most beautiful woman in the world. Yeah. So that's the answer. There's only one right answer. You say, well, that's an odd question because my wife's the most beautiful person. So I guess my wife for a million dollars. Yeah.

So it's a win-win. Yeah. But then you've said, oh, your wife. Oh, you know what you're doing. We know what you're doing, mate. You didn't make it sound like that. No, but straight away in your mind, the most beautiful woman in the world was someone else.

Oh. Who did you guys think of? And as I said before, I was like, Ryan Gosling for like the other way around. Reframe it, Ben. I'd be like, same thing. I'd be like, Amanda, come to me. Don't actually think of.

I thought of Ryan Gosling if the situation was any of us. You guys are thinking like Sofia Vergara or someone for sure. But you said this or that. No, but. This or that. No, there's no question here. We failed apparently. You did.

So we're going to call Megan's husband, Andrew, right now. You said he will give the right answer. No, not because he believes that's the truth. Just because he will understand the question, I think. He's very in touch with your feelings, isn because he believes that's the truth. Just because he will understand the question, I think. He's very in touch with your feelings, isn't he? I think he relates very nicely to me. He's so lovely. All right, let's give him a call.

Good morning. Good morning. Here we go. Hi, babe. Hi, babe. Hi, babe. Hi, babe. What am I in for today?

We're all here. Well, there's a question that we were asked this morning And we think you're going to do a lot better than us So that's the theory That's Megan's theory Ben and I are holding our reservation We just want you to be as horrible as a human being as we are So producer Taylor's got the question

Alright Andrew The way you answer this is crucial Would you Kiss your wife for $100 or the most beautiful woman in the world for $1 million? Now, just so you know, Ben and I, we said, you know, there's a negotiation period with your wife. To say, well, it's $1 million, you know, is there a negotiation period with your wife? To say, well, it's a million dollars.

You know, how we bring that home. It's just like, I'm doing this for the family, that sort of thing. You know, is it going to be silent treatment when I get home from kissing the most beautiful woman in the world? Yeah, that was our response. But over to you. How do you want to play this? I would definitely kiss Megan for $100. Oh!

You got it wrong, Andrew. That's not the right answer. He kind of got it right, but he kind of got it wrong at some time. I meant to say my wife is obviously the most beautiful woman in the world, so this question doesn't make sense. Oh, well, that too. I was like, he'll definitely answer right. Well, he did.

He kind of did. But he's turned down a million dollars. Mate, you could have had a million dollars for that same kiss. But anyway, we'll pocket that. Technically, you can have a million dollars and kiss your wife, right? Well, he's taking the hundred, Megan. Too late now, mate. You're only worth a hundred, babe.

Thanks, Andrew. Thanks, babe. Trick question. Trick question. Now I'm mad at him for turning down a million dollars Yes, there's no win Well there is a win But you've got to be smarter than we are

The hits, the Jono and Ben podcast Of course I spent the last week For the first time in a camper van trip RV trip around the North Island Which was a lot of fun, a lot of fun with the family Didn't use the lavatory facilities So so didn't want to return the camper van sloshing around with all the muck, the boys' muck of the week, so you just stopped it to use stops when you could.

Yeah, exactly, campgrounds around the country as well. A defecating, fretting camper making his way around the country. A lot of organisation to do beforehand before the first trip. You know me, I like to have things organised before I'm going, so I on you know a couple of days before we left i was like i was on a real mission the to-do list was you know of getting stuff done as we're going away booking campgrounds booking things getting everything sorted it was like i was on a bill paying frenzy yeah spreadsheet yeah spreadsheet taking things off my spreadsheet going through and i got it all booked out got it all mapped it out mapped out where we're going all that sort of stuff paid to that so every place we went to i was

like already prepaid good to go yeah so we got to one place and um was like already pre-played and she's like oh no you haven't i was like oh hang on a second no yes i have uh i have an excel spreadsheet here that tells me i have and then i went i thought i was quite smart i went on my phone uh we looked at the bank account details, found the name of the business, I was like, that's your name of your campground, here you go, paid that money in, you have a look. And she goes, yep, name of the business, but that's not my

bank account number. That's my worst nightmare, because there's so many numbers. I was like, what? She's like, not my number. I was like, you sure? And she's like, where'd you get that number from? I'm like, I don't know. I don't know where I put it from. This is not on the spreadsheet. I put in $160 in her account.

I'm like, oh, what are we doing? And my wife's actually really good at that. I told her about it. We had to repay again. I was like, well, I need to find out where this money is gone because there's a lot of money. So we went through and looking for things. My wife found online it was some tennis club.

What were you doing? I don't know. I don't know the tennis club. What were you doing? I don't know. I don't know the tennis club. No association whatsoever, but they're bank account details. So they've got your cash. So they've got cash. So I was like, well, I'm going to bring the tennis club. Did you phone them?

Yeah, I did phone the club. I was like, lovely lady. I went, hey. She's like, hello, struggling tennis club here. How's it going? And I was like, look, I've had a bit of a mistake. I felt like I was doing a scam on her the whole time because I was like, I've deposited some money into your account.

Wait, who are you? This was an accident. I would like that money back. She was like, yeah. And I was like, this is not a scam. She went and had a look. Took a look at her bank account details. She goes, oh, I saw that come through.

I thought it was a donation. Oh, no. Would you like to make a donation? Oh, no. To the tennis club? It's for my heart operation. All the clubs getting behind it. And you know me, I don't like to offend anyone.

But at the same time, I'm like, no, I don't want to make a donation to a tennis club. I was like, oh, look, I'm very sorry, but I don't want to make a donation to the tennis club. I don't even like tennis. Would you like to put that money back in to She's like, no, I wouldn't. Oh, my gosh. So we're at a bit of a, we have, I've given her my account details. So far, nobody has come back, but we'll see. When did you make the call?

I'll keep you updated. A couple of days ago. Oh, she's not giving it back, babe. Reese's snail, mate. So we'll see as well. I'm like, am I a horrible person for asking for the money back? Oh, my God, you're a horrible person if you call her again. That's the thing.

He's not if he does it on the radio though. No, I can't, I can't, I can't talk. So then we'll find out if I can get that money back or not. Rolling coverage of Ben's 160. Will the tight tennis club return his donation? I'd better get free tennis games.

Or lessons. Or lessons, that'd be nice. How's the school holiday juggle struggle juggle going righty righty rah and you know when you fire that question out all you want back

is like oh jeez these kids got too much time off something you know just a sweeping statement yeah short succinct sort of thing

is that what you want after yeah get on with your day yeah like when someone says how are you doing you actually say good because it's

even if you're dead inside no one wants to hear your problems yeah good dead inside. No one wants to hear your problems. Yeah, good. Good, thanks. No one wants to hear your problems. Formalities. But then he came back and said, oh, we had a wonderful week in Southland last week with the family. I said, oh, that's fantastic.

He's like, oh, man, the scenery there, beautiful, magnificent. Can't argue. It's a beautiful part of the country. He's like, let me show you a photo and i'm like oh okay yeah sure i'll see i'll get i can see a photo and now he dives into the the photo library the photo stream which i don't know if you've been a victim to this watching someone investigates through their photo stream, looking for one specific photo. It feels like the nine longest hours in your life. I know it's probably only 90 seconds to two minutes, but it feels like you fast forward

to October, waiting for it. And you, as they're concentrating, like they've got one thing on their mind and you're going, do I continue on the conversation? So I'm trying to keep Banty going but yeah he's focusing on finding this one photo and the needle in the haystack also when someone's

scrolling through their pictures on their phone do you feel like you have to look away because I'm like oh well I only need to

see the photo they want to show me do you find I always think I have to look away because I don't want to look at their photos yeah

yes give them a moment look away and you're kind of having this half heart oh how was the break? Yeah, no, no, it was good. He's not fully focused.

And then it gets to a period, the clock's ticking, and it gets to a period where you can tell he's like, I'm not going to find this thing. And I'm going, let's get on with our day. I can imagine the picture. You know? And eventually, someone has to pull the cord on this. Yeah, you're right.

On the search and rescue mission for the photo. You didn't pull the cord, did you? No, the person waiting for the photo can never pull the cord. No. You can't go, oh, I don't care. But yeah, I've been that person looking for a photo before and that is an awkward moment. It is.

And the longer they're looking for it, the more pressure it puts on the image. And then eventually he's like, if I find it, I'll email it to you. Don't worry, mate. That's how it ended. And, you know, not a great ending for either party. No email yet.

No email yet, no. He still hasn't found the photo. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. My Life is Murder is back on TVNZ and TVNZ+. It's a great show starring the wonderful Lucy Lawless. You'll know her from Xena, Warrior Princess, and she has just popped up on our Zoom. Good morning, Lucy.

I'm good. Hi, guys. Hi. You must know Megan. Megan's with us now. Hello, Megan. Hello, Lucy. Whereabouts in the world are you now, Lucy Lawless?

I'm in Boston, Massachusetts. Because you've also got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Do you ever bring your friends along to that and accidentally walk over it and go, oh, what have I tripped over here? I rub their noses in it every chance I get. Is it weird to go and visit your own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame? I don't really have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, do I? Well, apparently you do.

According to 50 Fun Facts About Lucy Lawless, you do. It's so weird that that's something I wouldn't remember. Yeah, you've done a lot of stuff. Because you have to do a ceremony, don't you? If this is breaking news to you, then we need to do something official now. I think John had just made that up. But congratulations if you do. If you don't, well, I'm sorry about that. I know, I was't well i'm sorry about that all right we'll get back to my life is murder now of course

the show filmed in new zealand filmed in auckland auckland i think i said last time has never looked so good but so awesome that it's around the world now even countries like japan the uk america all loving the show yes they are and are. And people even do tours. You can go to the cafe that Ruben owns. It's one of those things like Hollywood Walk of Fame. You forget about those things. There's so many things. You're a star of the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

I'm actually going to fly to Hollywood and just fact check that, okay? I'll recorrect the internet. Okay, here's a fact. This one's legit. If this is fact, if this is true. Apparently you speak four different languages. French, German and Italian, but it's all awfully rusty now. My Italian's better now than my French or German,

but... Would you be able to talk about your star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Italian? Could you talk to us about that now? Non c'è, on the stage. Non c'è. Beautiful language. Alexa, your character, a private investigator, of course. What are you like in real life?

Do you have that sort of brain that would be any good in this situation? Actually, when I find myself unexpectedly out of work, I go and sit and watch murder trials. I saw one last week here in Massachusetts. Do you just turn up and watch? Yeah, you must. All courts are open to the public and you should. The justice system has to be transparent.

Do you not find it a bit grim to hear all the evidence of what went down? No. I love this stuff. But you know what's interesting is how stupid murder is. You know, real murder, like we make it look fun on television. Most murders, in my limited experience, have this streak of stupidity running through them. But, you know, they'll go and murder somebody for like 40 grand.

Just dumb. You know, you're going to spend the rest of your life in jail for what? The tragedy is just how avoidable and stupid it was. Wow. Jeez, your life is murder does anyone ever go geez i think xena's in the in the crowd watching this like do you ever get recognized sometimes sometimes but i'm very very i don't pull any faces i don't make any sounds just dress down just be quiet and just watch. So you're not going, ooh, ooh.

I took someone. I took an actress with me once because she was like, I want to go with you. So I stupidly took her and she was doing that. Oh, no, he didn't. It's not Jerry Springer. And what's it like when you see a murderer in real life? Well, that's the interesting thing.

I might not be a murderer, but I went and saw Jeffrey Epstein. Did you? At his bail hearing. I was in New York and I just happened to be there. I was like, I'm going to go down. I don't know if other people feel this way. I think we can all do. But you can feel the energy of that person.

You know, if you're the sort of person who can read the room, you just get a vibe from them, the way they're walking. It tells you something about it. So I wanted to see a monster like that in real life and see where he was at, in my opinion. What was the vibe? He sort of shambled in and his hand shook a little bit as he went past the attorney's chair to his own.

And I was like rolling my eyes internally just, you know, you're so frail, you could never do any harm to anybody but he looked quite gray he knew he had nothing good was ever going to happen to this guy so that that was the impression I had so when they said he committed suicide I was like maybe wow this has been fascinating yeah you're obviously you know being an actor for many years do you tell i'm not necessarily in the courtroom situation but anywhere as well you're probably quite good at picking people when they're acting you know i thought that but i learned i've learned through the court that you can't tell like if people have been lying since birth because it

was a survival technique you can't tell because they don't suffer from the anxiety that you won't believe them because they're that damn good at it. Jeez. Well, I would be lying if I said this wasn't a fantastic interview. It's been a rollercoaster. It's been great. Amazing. We've covered some ground.

Interesting. We've covered them all. Carpentry. You name it, we'll talk about it. Frame start. Some factual, some not so factual. It's the Jono and Ben podcast. It's the second week of the school holidays and holiday this week, actually. Important one. An's the Jono and Ben podcast. The second week of the school holidays,

and holiday this week actually, important one, Anzac Day as well on Thursday. Yeah, I mentioned a lot of people taking that Friday off, getting a four-day bonanza out of it, but you do, when you hit the second week of the school holidays, you do start to fall into the filler content, don't you? The trenches of, I'm bored, go to the kitchen and sharpen the knives,

or do something, go and play with the homeless guy, huffing the glue. Do something. Well, it is a real juggle, particularly for, you know, parents that are, you know, working as well. You know, like a lot of kids coming into work at the moment as well, which is always, you know. Yeah. I noticed a few around here yesterday.

Yeah. The interesting one, too, is my kids, I don't know if your kids, they've probably got about a total of seven minutes homework to do. And I've been like, every day, you've done the homework, oh no, we'll get to it tomorrow. Like the ultimate, like a university degree in procrastination. And I know it's going to be Sunday night and I'm going to be screaming like a banshee,

two weeks, I said do the homework! Yeah, I know. Then you don't have it hanging over you the whole holiday. That's what I can say. Just do it first. Just get it done. Get it done. Anyway. But Jusie Taylor, you were saying of it hanging over you the whole holiday. That's all I can say. Just do it first. Just get it done. Get it done. It's out of anyone. Anyone. But,

but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but,

but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but,

but, been up since 2am all she wants to do is sleep um but obviously me and my brother very young school holidays that's the last thing we want to do so she would put titanic on and know that she had it at a minimum of three hours to sleep until like she we would need her again because we would just stare at the tv for three hours and then the naked painting scene. How young are you? Young. Really young. It explains a lot. People are screaming and being flung about on the boat.

Traumatic movie in a lot of ways. Are you guys scared of water now or anything? No. We bonded actually quite well, my brother and I, from those experiences. Three hours 14. It's a long time. Was she purely just picking the longest movie?

Yeah. Yeah. And my brother was weirdly obsessed with icebergs and stuff. So it worked really well. And then it's the credits, the rolling credits, the music. Celine Dion would come on and she would know to wake up. Oh, so she'd wait until the final credit. Yeah.

Oh, God. There's Celine. Hi, kids. And hopefully the kids are still alive. Yeah. Did she ever put it on twice? Yeah. Oh, my God. We probably watched it Hi, kids. And hopefully the kids are still alive. Yeah. Did she ever put it on twice? Yeah. Back to back?

Oh, my God. We probably watched it, like, I'm not even kidding, like, every day for two weeks. Good plan from your mum. I mean, maybe you were a little young. Maybe this is questionable parenting. Yeah. Well, I mean. Mum used to put 30 minutes on the microwave.

That was the thing. She's like, when it beeps, that's when we'd be quiet and then we could come back out and whatever. But she'd just reset the timer. Oh, yeah. We'd never do that. this is the longest 30 minutes of my life. I was just adding more time to it. I found that out later. I'm like, what an idiot.

Best holiday filler content. This is what we want. 800 The Hits. Maybe you're implementing this filler content. Maybe when you were growing up, you watched the Titanic on repeat from Fortnite. Yeah. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Cool holidays, and we want to know what things you're making your kids do

to fill out the time, or what things you were made to do as a kid to perhaps fill out your time. 0800 THE HITS is our phone number, 4487 if you want to text us through. Hell Pizza, have we got some of that up for grabs? Yeah, why not? It's a good thing for the holidays as well. They can fill up some time and some stomachs. Yeah.

0800 THE HIT's the telephone number. Producer Taylor just said that her mum would come home from night shift and just play three hours and 14 minutes of the Titanic for her and her toddler brother at the time. It's a hectic watch for toddlers. It starts off lovey-dovey. Yeah. I mean, like, if you're just going off duration,

you could go, like, hey, Schindler's List, another great one. The Bubbers. Things like that. My mum used to make me, in the June, July, mid-year school holidays, and he was very strong on me writing thank you letters for presents I had received. I could tell she was obviously trying to teach me some sort of life lesson there. Handwritten. Now, this is, you know, you couldn't just fire off a text going, thanks for the present.

This is handwritten letters. How many would you have to write? Oh, it felt like hundreds. But in reality, I can't remember. Probably only half a dozen. And I would put it off from Christmas right through. So six months later, she's like, got to get around to writing those letters now. Ultimate holiday filler content. And then I was like, I don't even think she took it. It to get around to writing those letters now. Ultimate holiday filler content.

And then I was like, I don't even think she took it. It felt like a waste of everyone's time. It felt like a waste of my resources. Did she post them out or not? No. Post service probably didn't. Yeah. Yeah.

Have you ever tried to write something out? Have you tried to write something out now by hand? Exhausting. Your hand gets so sore. All of a sudden, your writing goes terribly within the first couple of sentences. I feel like my hand spasms and then there's a Y across the page. I'm like, wow, where did this happen? Just don't do it anymore.

Your fingers have never been in finer form, have they? Moving your fingers up and down. Oh, a fine use. Yeah, like typing and tapping. It's just when you go for making them use the... It does, it really is. And your forearm gets sore as well. It's become a burden.

You know what I do love is when they get you to some stores, they'll go, okay, you'll get an electronic signature. And you probably give that about 5% effort, don't you? Just like a half-hearted squiggle. And I'm like, well, if this ever goes to court of law, I am clean. This resembles my signature in no way at all. Have we got a text? Have we?

We do. Someone texted and said, my mum was a school teacher, so we used to help her organise her classroom in the school holidays. I bet lots of teachers get their kids to do that. Oh, we do. We're trying to get their call on at the moment. You had to do that too because your dad was a principal. We had the whole school.

You and the caretaker just hanging out. Did you have to do gardening and stuff in your school? Yeah, I'd help out in the holidays, and then in the end I'd get some holiday money helping out the caretaker, doing all sorts of just odd jobs around the school. But it's all kind of lonely, scary jobs when you're by the school by yourself.

It's an eerie place when there's no one there. It's gone up to the second level where no one's up here, and there's four classrooms, and you're like, I might be by myself all day. You just get quite frightened. Did he have a good old-fashioned

primary school furnace? Remember the big caretaker furnace? Just chuck anything in there. Burn it, smoke, plough, black flumes of smoke coming out. Well, listen, school holiday filler content. The Jono and Ben podcast. Joined by friend of the show who's in the middle of the

It was very touching. It did bring a tear to my eye in a different way. Now, the grassroots tour going well. Your new role as the drummer in the band. How's that going? Yeah, you know what? It's going okay. Most of the time it's in time,

and the rest of it, who cares, really? I feel like the drummer receives more kudos than the bass player, which was your previous role. Were you finding that? Well, the best thing is you get to sit down the entire time. Happy birthday to you, the aging musician.

I just want to sit down. You're a kissman tonight. We get you on. We appreciate you joining us in the middle of your tour. We get you on because you've always got such great questions.
