The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Cheers to Dilma, making the world a better tea. Really funny moment yesterday, Megan. We had to go to a meeting for some MC duties. We are available for corporate MC duties. There's nothing we won't host. Exactly. Can you say what you're hosting?

It's for a liquor company awards ceremony night. It's not for a few months, but you go and meet with them and see what they want you're doing house of the year oh you've got that coming up too baby okay you name that the human trafficking awards there's nothing we won't host quickest human traffic of 2024 you know we hand them all out uh but we're looking for the office and we couldn't find it so ben you're ben's on a phone call yeah i was on the phone call to the organizer because we haven't been to the office before, talking to her. And then midway through, this guy came up

and he was like, ah, yeah, you, John and Ben, you know, from Telly Radio. And I'm like, yeah, cool. Hey, mate, how you doing? Nice to see you. Shook his hand. Still trying to juggle a conversation.

And then he sort of just carried on a conversation. I was at the moment really trying to juggle too. You're running too conv two conversations because I walked up and I saw Ben juggling two simultaneous conversations. One on the phone. To get directions

which is hard because you've got to remember directions and I don't want to screw that up. And then this other guy who had no concept of what a phone call was

still continuing on. So I met you before I was at the casino and I'm like, oh yeah, great, good to see you. And Ben being Ben couldn't possibly say,

oh sorry mate, I'm just on a call at the moment. Good to see you. And Ben being Ben couldn't possibly say, oh, sorry, mate. I'm just on a call at the moment. Hang on a sec. I did see you gesturing to your phone. And at that point, most people would be like, oh, they're involved

in another conversation. But this guy's like, no, no, no. He can also handle mine, which is, you know. Yeah, yeah. He had full faith in you. Full faith in me.

You're right. And your communication skills. But I was very, I was struggling. I was struggling to have conversation with him. We were talking about job opportunities in the industry while also talking to...

Well, so it's a heavy chat. So it's not just a like, how are you? It was like, yeah, the industry, what's going on? And then I'm also trying to talk to... She's like, okay, two blocks away. And I kept going to her. I kept repeating. She must have thought I was not as quick as, you know,

because I kept saying, so hang on. So go past, you know, because I was trying, so hang on, so go past, you know, because I was trying to recap. And she's like, yeah, I've told you like four times. You're like, mate, I know the media industry is struggling. I'm trying to get some other work here. He zeroed in on me too. And he's like, do you need stuff moved?

And I was like, what do you mean? He's like, I can move anything. Name something and I can move it. Good on him. Yeah, he's hustling. Get out there and hustle. You've got to hustle. He's like, have you got keyboards that you need moved and i've been doing radio a long time i don't think

i've ever come across a keyboard that when unless computer keyboards sometimes we need those relocated as well yeah um probably handle that ourselves but it'd be handy if someone was here to do it that's true you're right times were better yeah people to shift this keyboard right here i'm holding yeah holding to another room. I imagine you're quite good at multitasking, Megan. Yep, I am pretty good at multitasking. Not quite for me. Don't know about two conversations.

One that heavy as well. I think Ben actually offered him a job. Did you? He's coming in shortly, actually. Well, you were saying great, see you soon to the person on the phone, and he thought it was for him. So he's coming in yeah shortly actually well you were saying great see you soon to the person on the phone and he thought it was for him so he's coming in at nine the hits

the Jono and Ben podcast oh you were saying best to your young one dropped you in it at the kindy yeah they need to learn the loose lips

sing ships for all these kids don't they they don't know that right yeah he's three and he loves telling a yarn I don't know where he gets it from but um sorry to interrupt there

but what I love you played us a video the other day of him and Kindy with his mates just rocking out to ACDC. Thunderstruck. Loving it, hitting the drum beat on a bit of wood and stuff like that and you're like, I've never played him that song in my life. But he's just loving it. He knows the song.

He loves it. I've never played him ACDC. He's also loving Dolly Parton at the moment. Tell me you're going to a West Auckland daycare without telling me you're going to a West Auckland daycare. But it's pretty cool. He'll be doing his first burnout before you know it. I know. He is a little bogan. But he's just got into telling

yarns and so this was quite confronting when I went to pick him up. There was about six of his teachers all together and they were like, we've got something we need to ask you. Oh, you never want that. Oh, no. Feels like an intervention.

They were like, Basti sat down and was very serious and told us this story. I was like, oh, my. I was like, okay. Oh, my God. What's happened? And so he had told everyone that dad had broken the toilet and made a huge mess i was like okay and they said i don't know pure brute force then they said and he said there were stones everywhere and poppy had to clean it up who's poppy exactly oh they were like oh who's who's poppy and i was sitting there i was

like i have no idea the toilet i don't know but the toilet's been broken what has poppy been doing with andrew i know on the toilet and if i wasn't there all fixed up before you got home poppy's left with all sorts i thought about it a little bit harder and realized Poppy, my dad is Pop and he calls him Poppy. And when my dad stayed, the toilet was, the seat was half off and my dad took it off. It was really dirty. He'd cleaned it and put it all back together again. I don't know where the stones came from, but I'm sitting there.

It took me a long time to come to the conclusion that my dad had fixed the toilet seat. Well, at least you can rest assured that the teachers at daycare will tell you about an affair if it's happening in your relationship. I know, right? It was a great test. They've got your back. They've got your back.

I was ready to throw down and be like, who's Poppy? Who is Poppy? But no, it's my dad. Did you look through his phone for Poppy?

No. You think it's your dad, but yeah. Okay. I need to do a little detective work. Just go through the context, man. Who's Poppy? Do you know Poppy? The hits. dad but yeah okay i need to do a lot of context the hits the jonah and ben podcast talking to a friend over the weekend and we want i wanted to know on 0800 the hits 4487 what are you being kicked out of because they were saying uh when

they were younger they joined school choir they were enjoying it but they had a lot of friends there and they were they said they were quite chatty and they got constantly warned about their chattiness and eventually it didn't matter about their singing ability, they got ousted from, kicked out of school choir. For talking too much. Too chatty.

Maybe if they were singing their conversation, they would get away with it, like a musical. You're right. Perfectly acceptable in a choir, but when you tone it down to just a straight conversation, they would get away with it. Like a musical. You're right. Perfectly acceptable in a choir. But when you tone it down to just a straight conversation, disruptive. Disruptive. So they get kicked out of it.

And I imagine they're not the only one that's been kicked out of not only clubs or groups, but even like places around the place. Have you been removed from anywhere? No, I remember being chatty in choir and being told off, but I never got kicked out. You didn't get your final warning or anything like that? No. I don't think I've been kicked out of anything. I love those people that get kicked out of bars

and then do a bit of an on-the-spot brainstorm around the corner from the bar, and they're like, I tell you what, I will swap shirts with you and get back a completely different person. Never works. No, because the bouncer or the security, they're sober. You're drunk and you think this disguise is amazing.

And they've just seen you moments before taking you out of the place. And then they're like, well, now you're coming back in. In a different coloured T-shirt. You're like, no, that was my friend Mr. Orange T-shirt. There was a group that Mania who works for the alternate commentary Here at the radio station He set up a wonderful

NBA basketball group Like a fantasy team group And you pick your players And you have to manage them Throughout the season I was part of it as well You were part of it as well And I knew when I signed up to it, I could see the look in your eyes.

You're like, he's got no follow through. You had set your internal timer as to how long it was until I checked out. Yeah, yeah. And there's been not much activity for me on that group. No, you were quite good to play against because you did nothing all season. Your players were out or injured or whatever. Your life was the worst. So you had an easy win every time he'd come up against you because you didn't change

it once no i bought a guy who uh was actually stood down for four months for gun related issues so he couldn't even play do you know what i know the real story here i don't know man i might not be like let me say this when he came in he said afterwards he said i was just meant to talk to you to me about it but you were like, yeah, mate, I'll play. You come as a package. Okay. And he was like, oh, okay, all good. Oh, my God, that's so awkward, Jono.

And I said, sign me up, mate. And he was like, he did nothing all season. Like, he didn't even try. It was like, what, he just took up space. It was like, didn't even once. And players took up, well, I apologise to my eye. Didn't even want you to play. Well, you know, I'm in Mania. Great.

So great. Jono's into this. And then, oh, it clearly wasn't. Yeah, no, you knew what was going to happen. I don't know. It lasted two weeks. No. I was involved in the, you know, the pre-season banter.

Oh, coming for you guys. Oh, look who I've got. Yes, you were. I did well at that. Yeah. And yes, I got kicked out of that group. Yeah, I did, yeah. I went under the hits.

I didn't even mean to ask me. Oh, that. Yeah. And yes, I got kicked out of that group. Yeah, did, yeah. I went under the hits. He didn't even mean to ask me. Oh, that's embarrassing. And you found out on national radio. That's great. It was great to be part of it. He's a lovely guy. He's welcoming. Exactly.

Well, I apologise to Minaya. There was a completely pointless exercise for all parties involved. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Your friend got kicked out of the choir for too much talking. Chatty. Being too chatty. So we wanted to know, 0800 The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Your friend got kicked out of the choir for too much talking. Chatty, being too chatty. So we wanted to know, 0800 The Hits, 4487, what have you been kicked out of? Some great text coming through here, 4487.

When we and I lived in Canberra, they had a promotion. Eat as much as you can, KFC. Oh, wow. So you obviously pay a flat fee. Yeah. And after attending there for four weeks in a row, I got kicked out for eating too much KFC. But they said, man, that's all you can eat.

That's the problem with all you can eat. I can eat a lot. When you show them how much you can actually eat, some people. They don't like it. The old corporates get a bit nervous. Went on a date with a girl who got absolutely trollied and ended up whispering to me how she's looking forward to licking my

armpits later that night. She got kicked out of the restaurant about 35 minutes later. I was left with the bill and the Uber on the way home. And no armpit licking, I imagine too either. I've never had an armpit lick. It's not somewhere I'd like to lick.

You appreciate it though, don't you? Damn, she's willing to lick someit lick. No. It's not somewhere I'd like to lick. Yeah. You appreciate it, though, don't you? Do you? You're like, damn, she's willing to lick some armpits. Yeah. That's the first stop. I thought that'd be like fifth, sixth, seventh on the list. Tilly, good morning. Morning, how are you?

Ever licked an armpit, Tilly? Oh, absolutely not. Don't intend to in the near future. No, fair enough, fair enough. Never say never. An appealing place, but hey, it's your thing, it's your thing. Now, Tilly, you've been kicked out of somewhere? Oh, yeah, this was very early in my 20s,

and I'm a teacher, you see, and we had this group of teachers from our same school, so we decided we'd go out that night. And so there was a school ball of another school happening somewhere close by. So we thought, oh, well, we'll just go see what happens. And then, so we turn up there, and they ask us at the door, are you teachers? And we go, yeah, yeah, yeah. And they go, okay, you can go in now. So that was for free.

We got in there. But it was the ball of another school. And then when they realized we weren't the teachers of that school, so obviously we had to leave. They asked us very politely. Crashing. Not very politely. They called us free wheelers and said, you can't come in here. Yeah, free wheelers, get out of here.

They didn't ask us. They said, are you teachers? Technically, yes. Yeah, you're right. You didn't lie. We're not teachers of that school. Tell me, what's the drawcard? Because, like, there's students.

I imagine there's no, like, vinos. There's no wine. So why did you want to be in front of more students? No, because we were just having fun. We were young. These were teenagers. We were, like, in our 20s ourselves and, you know. Yeah, good on you, you freewheeling tilly, you.

Get out of here, you freewheeling. I love it. You have a great day. Really appreciate it. Let's get Michelle on. Where were you kicked out of? Oh, hey, it wasn't me. It was my poor son.

Yeah. He was three and we delayed sending him to kindy because he wasn't that happy about it. But after six weeks, I got a phone call, got summoned to the kindy. Oh, no. And had the meeting. And, you know, they said to me, he just doesn't want to be here. He just doesn't want to be there. And I'm like, oh, gosh.

You know, I said, but that's the whole point, you know. Send him to school, send him to kindy. They said, no, he really, like, he just doesn't want to be here. Can you please just take him away for a while and maybe try again later? Anyway, when we asked him what the story was, he said to me and to the teacher, he said, look, because he spent time with my parents because I worked. And he said, on Monday, Oprah and I, we do this. On Tuesday, we do that.

On Wednesday, we do this. And on Thursday, we do that. And on Friday, we do this. And he said, if I come here, I can't do any of that. Oh Wednesday, we do this. And on Thursday, we do that. And on Friday, we do this. He said, if I come here, I can't do any of that. Oh, that's sweet. He got spoiled

because Opa treated him. Yeah, there's another great kindergarten text here too. Yeah, they did the lawns, the garden, they went to the

soup market. It was really, really sweet. But in the end, it turned out fine. You know, he didn't actually go back to kindy,

I have to say. He just didn't. So he just had a much better life until he was five. No, we've all got a better life away from what we, you know, work. Kindy school is always a better life. I'd rather be hanging out with the kids' grandparents. Yeah. Great text here.

My father always used to say, F me days. The problem was my two little brothers got kicked out of three kindergartens. That's all they would say. They would just turn into kindergartens. Every time they get told off, they're like, F me day. So I expelled from kindergarten.

The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. I thought it was really interesting. You were talking about actor Keanu Reeves being in many, many amazing movies for many years, from Bill and Ted, to Matrix,

all those sort of movies. But you were saying what a wonderful person he is. I was like, do you know the backstory to Keanu Reeves and why he is the greatest man in Hollywood

I see him catching the memes of him catching a bus and things like that takes public transport always takes the subway takes public transport

that's just the tip of the iceberg but I thought I thought everyone knew this about Keanu Reeves no and I did I found it really interesting so I was like let's quickly just say

for those that haven't heard like myself what an amazing I mean really horrible things he's been through but what a wonderful person he is you know because of those things i guess in a way yeah he's experienced a lot of tragedy so his father abandoned him when he was three his daughter died at eight months old his wife died in a car accident and his best friend died of an overdose So instead of being swallowed up by grief, which you'd imagine would get most of us, he has spent his life giving to people. There are multiple hospitals that claim to have received tens of millions of dollars

from him, but he never tells anyone. On his birthday in 2020, he went into a bakery and bought a cupcake for himself with a candle, sat outside and ate it, and then everyone who went into the bakery, he bought bread and coffee for everyone, just went in and said, help yourself for free, it's on me. When he did the Matrix trilogy, he distributed $50 million amongst the special effects crew

because he said they were the real heroes. Far out. Wow. It goes on and on. He overheard a conversation when he was filming The Lake House with wardrobe assistants. The woman was crying because she was going to lose her house. So she said she needed $20,000. He didn't say anything.

He just deposited the money for her. How did he get her account number? Must have had to say something. Must have had to go, hey, what's your double O, mate? Some sort of scam-like phone call. Like, what's your number? Hello, it's not Keanu Reeves here. I was needing your check account number.

Amazing. What a human being. He buys his stunt artist Harley Davidson's. It just goes on and on. He goes to a normal gym. He does jiu-jitsu classes with everyday people, takes the subway. And yeah, he just, everything we know about him,

all the good things he does, we hear from other people. We don't hear it from him. That's incredible. And he voted for Ricky Martin for that. Makes him even better. Good man. What a great man. Man of the people.

His only downside is he's a Trump supporter. They've kept that hidden as well. I don't think it's the case. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. Cross live now to the Olympic Village. One of our swimmers, she did the butterfly earlier in the week

in the Olympic pool. Joining us now from Paris, Hazel Ourhand. How's it going? It's good. I'd be better if you could pronounce my name properly. Ourhand, right? Ourhand?

Yes, Ourhand. Yeah, Ourhand. Nice and simple. Yeah, yeah. if you could pronounce my name properly. Our hand, right? Our hand? Yes, our hand. Yeah, our hand. Nice and simple. Yeah, yeah. Sorry, I was practicing on that. And then when I got, like my Olympics, when I got to the final moment, I crumbled. He was looking in a mirror and practicing it. I was right.

I'd written it down. I'd practiced it. Then I got to it. I was like, oh, geez, I've screwed this up. So sorry, Hazel. Four years. Four years I've trained for this moment. But congratulations.

It was so awesome to cheer you on on the pool. How was it competing over there? It's honestly like nothing I've ever experienced before. I mean, I was at the Commonwealth Games in 2022 and going out into the pool arena for my first race was definitely like an OMG moment because it was the biggest crowd I'd ever faced at that point. But coming here to the Olympics, there was even more people

and everyone was extra loud and it was definitely an experience for me. Is the pool cold or warm or lukewarm or tepid? What is it, tepid? Yeah, it's quite fresh. It's definitely a bit colder than your average training pool. Competition pool is generally like a degree colder. I think it's around 27 degrees. Okay, that's – yeah.

Whereas I think your average training pool is like 28. Because you see the gentleman who in between races has to come out in his Speedos and collect the swimming caps from the bottom of the pool. Have you seen him? He's become a hero. I was poolside watching when that happened, and we were all confused because the next race was supposed to start, but it wasn't for some reason.

We were thinking, what's going on? And then he strolls out in his budgie smugglers, and we're like, oh, okay. Yeah, he got a good bit of applause from the crowd, and they quite enjoyed that. He's probably backstage going, do we have to wear speedos? Yeah, I can wear a wetsuit or something. These are athletes. I'll dive in my suit. suit yeah it's been incredible watching not only you uh compete

but also your social media as well and just you're saying how loud the crowd is but also how quiet they get before the race and then i was watching the breaststroke the other night and uh they're cheering when the swimmers pop up and then go back under the water it's incredible yeah i mean like for the start of the race it has to be quiet because any amount of noise can like off put a swimmer because you're waiting for you know from the moment they say take your marks you have to be still until the buzzer goes because if you move or you know have any big flinches you get disqualified so that's why everything has to be quiet as you are on those starting blocks, are you crapping yourself? Not literally.

Please don't do that in the pool. Poor old guy in the bungee smugglers will come in if you clean up the pool. What are the nerves like? I mean, there are definitely nerves. I feel like I had more nerves for our Olympic qualifiers in Hawke's Bay. Not that there was more at stake, but it almost felt like there was more at stake. Like I was so, so nervous before that. What is it like in the Olympic Village?

We see the cardboard beds. We heard that it's like a supermarket and bank tellers. What's it like? It's really cool. Honestly, the only thing that I can liken it to is like university. Like it gives university campus vibes. There is a little supermarket, so you get yourself some chocolates and stuff um there's a corona bar obviously it's non-alcoholic coronas but there's a corona bar um yeah the cardboard beds they're quite tiny

but they do the job i guess and there's even bikes spotted all around the campus so if you find a free bike you can just grab a bike and go for a ride. We heard that there's a Samsung shop. You just wander and you can take a phone. Well, the athletes do get a free phone, yes. You get it on arrival. It's in your bedroom. But there is a Samsung store as well.

So if you want to go and buy extra stuff like earphones or cases for your new phone or anything like that, you can go and do that. That's amazing. Can you take the bikes home? Can you take the beds home? What can you take? The beds home? I don't want to take the goddamn beds home.

Very little weight capacity for my luggage as it is. I don't even fit taking extra stuff. What I did see on your Instagram is that you have a bunch of pins. I didn't realize this was a thing until I saw you post about it is that each country, each team has their own pins and then you trade them between yourselves. Yeah, that's the thing. So I posted one today with the Saudi Arabia pin, which is like really pretty. Every country has their own pins and you get X amount dependent on how much your country gives you. Like we got given 20 each.

And then you trade them amongst the different countries to try and get as many as you can. Well, there's a Snoop Dogg one. Yeah, there's a Snoop Dogg pin. I highly doubt that I'm going to be lucky enough to get that, if I'm honest. I missed him when he was in the village, but I think he might have just gone to see Teen America.

Simone Biles also has her own specific pin. I think it was one of the girls in the Rugby Sevens, she managed to get her hands on Simone's pin. So now that Simone has an NZ pin, it's pretty much, like, off limits for everyone else from New Zealand because she won't want another one. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast.

I was just going to try and segue into this next conversation about being a little bit tired today. Oh, sorry. And I ruined it. I ruined it. Are you tired today, Ben? Yeah, funny you should ask. A little bit tired, but obviously not bit tired today. Oh, sorry. And I ruined it. I ruined it. Are you tired today, Ben? Yeah, funny you should ask. A little bit tired, but obviously not as tired as our boss, Harriet, who joins us right now.

Because Harriet, well, you told us when you fell asleep. You nodded off the other night at a very important thing in your life. I nodded off at my own engagement party. Wow. Must have been thrilling. That is welcome to marriage. Welcome. That's what you do. Marriage is just trying to stay awake.

That is it. Sit on the couch and try and stay awake. Lucky my future husband is very used to this because it does happen quite often out in public. Scenario, so what was going on at the time? It wasn't a big party. It was probably 20 people. That's a big party.

It's pretty big. Those are numbers. Yeah, I guess it is. Bottles of bubbles, sitting around a table, and that is the thing, sitting. Yes, when you stop. I'm sitting, went a bit quiet, and then I can feel my eyes shut, and then I try and stay awake by keeping them open.

I reckon I actually fall asleep with my eyes open, and then next thing it just goes silent, and I've realised, oh crap. At what point in the party did everyone just go silent? 20 people just sitting in silence. No, my brain goes silent. Oh, crap. At what point in the party did everyone just go silent? 20 people just sitting in silence. No, my brain goes off. Oh, your brain. Everyone's tuned out. Like, I've just tuned out of everything around me.

Was it late at night? What time? No, like 10 o'clock. But that's late for me. Yeah, right. You do get up early. That is quite late. Do people in the party notice that you're maybe not enough?

No, but my friend sitting next to me said, do you think we should get an Uber soon? I was like, yes. She must have not. Well, you know, the best place to fall asleep is your own party because you're not offending anyone. You know, it's not like you're celebrating someone else's milestone. I reckon you are offending people because everyone around you, you're close with and they know what's happening. Whereas I've fallen asleep a couple of weeks ago on a comedy show.

I'm up the back. The comedian couldn't see me, so it's fine. And also all your friends are like wow we must be so riveting yeah you're so happy we're all here definitely time to go home for them right you know

hurry it's a sleep okay I went home to the hits monumental events that you've fallen asleep we just spoke to you we did a sleep thing the other day oh yeah I took my

daughter to Wicket it was a Broadway show it was a real special moment and the guy next to her whole time the whole time slept woke whole time, slept. Woke up for a bit. Paid a lot of money for that.

And then just went back to sleep. Yeah, no, he paid a lot of money. Maybe he had a wonderful sleep. Yeah, so he fell asleep the whole time. So 0800-HITS. Monumental occasions, monumental events that you fall asleep at. Try and stay awake at the wedding. Just a bit of advice.

I'm not an expert, but yeah. It is a genuine concern. Maybe you could have it earlier. Like earlier in the day. I think we'll have to. Finish at about six or seven. But we'll have to do a venue that the buses come at midnight. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.

Voted by you. But right now we're talking about monumental moments in your life that you've fallen asleep at. After our boss Harriet fell asleep at her own engagement party. Yeah, Angela. You are on the show. Would you read about it, Angela? No. No. Great to have are on the show. Would you read about it, Angela? No.

Great to have you on. It wasn't you who's the sleeper, but it's your husband. Correct. He did. He was on a I'm pretty sure it was because it was years ago, but it was cricketers at the end of the year go on a golf trip. Oh God, that sounds dangerous.

It does. It was in Hamilton, all places, and he fell asleep in a strip show. Oh, and they're working hard up there. Nothing would offend me more if I was... You're like, mate, I'm naked here in front of you, and I'm going to sleep a long day, beers with the boys. Excuse me?

I'm like shimmying and everything. Although you're probably, for your sake, you're probably like, oh, that's great. Good on him. Great time to fall asleep, you know? Oh, well, why not? Why not? And doing as all great mates do, they left him and he woke up on his own. He woke up in the club.

What a bleak place to wake up. Tell me the lights weren't on. You never want to see one of those with the lights on. That's such a good story. Appreciate it. Thank you. A great text coming through here. I fell asleep on the Inter-Irelander because I was horribly seasick.

However, there was an international film crew shooting at the same time. And instead of walking up to me and getting me to move, they filmed around me. And I was in the back of the shot, mouth wide open, fast asleep, in the back of an international show. Humiliating. Do I have to get a release form signed for that? Yeah, you do. You think so, right? Doesn't count if you're asleep.

Tanya, we'll get you on. Welcome to the show. Hi, morning. How's it going? Yeah, good to have you too. You think so, right? Doesn't count if you're asleep. Tanya, we'll get you on. Welcome to the show. Hi, morning. How's it going? Yeah, good to have you on. You fell asleep at a concert. Yeah, a Marilyn Manson concert. Can you imagine that?

I had, like, my excuse was because I had been working overseas and I had just gone back and it was a present for my husband, then boyfriend at the time. But I was, like like really jet lagged but who could fall asleep in a Marilyn Manson costume? I bet you loud noises what wrong going on? I know

It's a lot happening in that show It was a lot happening and were people waking you up? No it was kind of I was just like going in and out you know when you catch yourself as you're sleeping. I was sitting down too, like probably not the best thing. Sounds like the Goths were very respectful.

Yeah, there we go. I remember going to a Marilyn Manson show and the fire alarm went off. Oh, really? Halfway through the show there is about 1,500 bogans just sort of waiting outside the town hall. And they had to go back in. It's really hard to claw a show back after that. Yeah, you're right. Especially when Tanya's sleeping in the back row.

Thank you for your calls and texts. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Brand new podcast out today here at The Hits from The Hits Breakfast. A brand new podcast, which was mentioned before, but Producer Taylor, you can tell us about it. You've got a new podcast. Yes, I do. I brought my husband here with me today, Marcelo,

and we have a podcast coming out called The Montoyers. It drops today, actually, so everyone listen. We've had a glimpse. You've pulled back the curtain on your relationship multiple times on this show. Yes. Volatile, volatile relationship. Passionate.

Yeah, passionate. Sparks flying, all sorts. So we can imagine this is going to carry over to the podcast. Absolutely, if not more. Marcelo, you're here. Great to have you here, mate. Thanks, Tim. Bit of an idea that we wanted to try.

We wanted to send you out of the room, Taylor, and we wanted to ask some questions about you to Marcelo, and then you can come back in and you can check if he's got the right answers. Great, great. Let's just hope they're going to create more volatile situations. I'm sure it will. This is going to be a segment. All right, you're okay with that? Yeah. Okay, so Taylor're going to create more volatile situations this could be a segment all right you're okay with that yeah okay so taylor's gonna head on out uh now marcello ben wants to ask you the first question taylor's out of the room are you doing the podcast against your

will this is not one for taylor to say you're okay do you need to blink twice do we need to help you are you okay i'm actually okay i think at the start i wasn't against it but i thought i wouldn't be like i wouldn't be considered yeah um but then she obviously said oh let's have a crack and then it's actually been quite um quite fun i mean like we get to film every week and instead of having those little arguments that you would have with your partner it's just literally a week of us venting and talking shit about each other it's good therapy it's literally like a therapy it's actually like an hour of therapy and it's cool. It's been cool. Because you're not on any form of social media.

Yes. You're just not into social media. Yes. Is it weird that you're going to have this whole thing out there about your relationship on social media, but you're not going to know what people are saying about it? Yes, it's a great question. I think it's a big jump for me putting myself out there. It's quite big, right? But for me, it's for her, right?

Yeah, I want her to be successful and I want her to get her name out there so for me it's all about that it's not about me i mean it is quite daunting but at the same time it's like bro like let's do it how do you know what people's opinions are of your performance on the field if you're not on social media oh my god here we go these are are the questions, okay, so about Taylor and we're going to bring it back in and see how you go. Okay, do you remember the first time you guys met?

Yes, it was at an etiquette dinner. Etiquette dinner? Yes, that's how we met. Okay, all right, okay. Because she's told us before she was a cheerleader for the Bulldogs who you were playing for. What is an etiquette dinner?

It's, honestly, Meg, it was stupid. So the last club I used to play at, they do etiquette dinners with the cheerleaders and the under 20s team to teach them like dinner etiquette. Oh like how to eat manners and how to eat. Well because you're dining with sponsors and. Yeah yeah some boys actually don't realise they actually have no idea how to use knife

and forks I guess but. You're like hey so those weapons on the side of the plate you can actually use those to eat you don't have to use your hands. Yes, yes. Etiquette dinner. Okay, favourite comedy show for Taylor? Seinfeld. Okay.

What were the flowers that Taylor and her bridal party had? The white ones. That's enough info. That's enough info. I don't know if it was roses, but they were white. Okay. They were white roses, actually. They were big, yes.

We'll look at white roses. What would Taylor say was her favourite thing about going to a Warriors game? Her favourite thing is probably when she's got diarrhoea when I'm playing. She gets really nervous, eh? She gets really sick and stuff. She gets really nervous.

Yeah, she does. Probably the end. She'll be glad you put that diarrhoea bomb out there. Okay. I don't care. She'd tell us. Okay, endless. All right, we'll bring our producer Taylor back in.

We'll see. I think you did well. I don't even know the answers to the questions, but and us. All right, we'll bring our producer Taylor back in. We'll see. I think you did well. I don't even know the answers to the questions, but. Okay, we asked our. It'll be on the podcast. We asked our some questions about you. The first time you guys met, when was it? 2014.

I was a cheerleader for the club he was playing for. Yeah. There was a particular event. Yeah. That you were at. Etiquette dinner. Oh, well done. You got that one right. Was the etiquette

to sleep with the cheerleaders? Also, they stuffed them into the tub. I don't know if they got to that part of the It was to say, please, please may I sleep. Hello, my good lady. May I court you to my bedroom?

Obviously worked well. Taylor's favourite comedy show? Taylor, what is it? Seinfeld. There we go. What were the flowers that you had in your bridal party on your wedding day? Oh, they were white roses. That's two points. He was like white ones and then he was like, no hang on.

So your favourite thing about going to a Warriors game? What is it? Oh, it used to be the free alcohol. Oh, yeah. Well, he's definitely... That's not what he said. In fact, let's not say what he said. Say it, say it. He said when you suffer diarrhoea. Oh, yeah, that's not my favourite thing,

but it definitely happens. Yeah, I spend most of the 80 minutes on the toilet. That's how much I care for him. That's nice. The Modern Toy is the podcast out now on iHeartRadio. Listen, if this is a glimpse into it, it's going to be an amazing show. Congratulations to the pair of you. Thanks, guys.

Do you know he said he's doing this for you? Yeah. Yeah, well, good for him. Let's go through the past 10 years and see how much shit I've done for him. Like, hello, move a country. A beautiful country. Beautiful country, but I still moved here. Better here.

Better us here than Australia. Yeah, I agree. Stay away from our families. Check it out. We'll be back with your podcast, but particularly iHeartRadio, the Montoya's out to date. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Something very embarrassing happened to me yesterday.

I'm in the car with my daughter, Indy, driving along after school. And, you know, like a lot of kids she's a big animal lover and I get it it's awesome and we're driving along and then out of nowhere I looked in the middle of where we were driving in our sort of lane suburban streets and stuff was a hedgehog and I tried last minute no tried last minute just to get you know look without being a dangerous maneuver or anything like that and just clipped this thing someone needs to send a memo around the headchild community and go hey guys crossing the road it's not your thing you've got some stuff yeah that's your thing crossing the roads

and stay away from it looked in the you know looked in the rear vision mirror and you could see this thing sort of fly out towards the side and i was like oh no oh no india and i sat in silence for about one or two seconds, felt like longer. And then she's like, we need to pull over and see if this thing's okay. She could mouth to mouth? You said this was embarrassing. This is devastating.

Okay, and so I was like, okay, we'll pull over, we'll go back. So we pulled over up the road and we walked on back and we're looking, you know, looking inside the road, looking inside of the gutters, all that sort of stuff, looking for this poor hedgehog. And then this lady, you know, looking at this front of properties and stuff.

And this lady was out doing the garden. And she's like, what are you guys doing? And I said, oh, run over hedgehog. We're looking for this thing. Maybe did you see anything? She said, no, I haven't, but I'll help you. So I'm like, okay. So now there's the three of us.

There's me and this old lady. We're looking for this hedgehog up and down the street. This guy's walking past with his dog. He's like, what are you guys doing? Because we're looking around, looking under things. I was like, I've run over a hedgehog. Across all of the kingdom of, you know, the creations on the world. Like the hedgehog is, it's precious, but does it require a search party?

Yeah, there was a whole lot of us. Everyone had taken time out of their day to look, and I'm feeling really bad about this. We're looking around, and then we hear this guy say, I found it. And then we run over and I'm like, how is that? Thinking I could prepare Indy. And he's like, it's not moving. And I'm like, oh dear God, no.

And I ran over there and get there with Indy and he picks it up. And I'm like, this is wild. And then he shows me and it was a bloody pine cone. Half an hour looking for a pine cone. Half an hour looking for a pine cone. And I was like, is this the hedgehog you were looking for?

I'm like, oh yeah, yeah, I guess it was. He's also like, there's a dead cat down here as well. Was that you?

Yeah. So yeah, there you go. That's why it was an embarrassing story. No animals will harm, just my cat.
