New episode on iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts. And the format of this, if you haven't heard it, essentially from what I gather, if you listen to a couple of episodes, they record for about an hour and a half of Marcello just winding up Italian,

the Italian tailor. And then some poor soul has to cut it down to a 35-minute episode. And this week, though, Marcello witnesses something to do with the dog. Yeah, the dog's on Taylor's lap. And let's just say I don't want to give everything away, also because I don't want to talk about what actually happens too much. But something grosses everyone out from the dog, Louie. Toilet paper!

Can you get me toilet paper, boss? Get away! I'm going to... Oh, yeah. So that's on the Montoya's new episode today, where you get your podcast. Actually, we thought we could, you know, put you to Taylor. She's not on the show at the moment.

Would she answer our call? Has she moved on already? Well, I think once your body clock's adjusted to waking up at this time, she'd be up at 4 o'clock every morning. Yeah, I'm sure she would be, right? Yeah, it hasn't even been a week. And we're just wanting to be good friends and plug her podcast. Yeah, exactly.

She's not going to answer mine if she doesn't answer yours. No runs on the board for me there. Well, it is podcast day, so maybe she's doing interviews. Maybe she's busy. Now Ben's trying from his number. This will just come up, Ben Boyce. Yeah. She may have cleared us from her contact list.

Oh, this isn't looking favourable. No, not looking good for me either. She might still be sleeping. Well, true. If that's the case, I don't want to wake her up. No, you've got to come up with a missed call as well. Taylor. Oh, there's two.

A meteoric rise And hey Hocktour's still going By all accounts Raygun Raygun had slipped off the radar I think the world Started to feel a bit bad

About how they had treated Raygun Yeah and I think she too Had decided to take a bit of a break Away from things. Fair enough. Yeah. Now, this is the first question. She was on Australia's Project TV show last night, the first interview since the Olympics,

and they kind of just asked her how she'd been since the whole event. Yeah, it's been a pretty wild ride. I'm not going to lie. I definitely have my ups and downs my my good and bad days but it has been honestly so amazing to see the positive response uh to my performance like i never thought that i would be able to to connect with so many people in such a positive way positive response yeah i feel like she's trying really hard to be positive.

I feel like you can almost hear her voice shaking. Well, I guess people will be like, God, you know, good on you, get out there and stuff. Yeah, I was just like,

there's bigger issues in the world. Oh, totally. You know, let's appall them. Oh, she all gave us like a bit of a laugh. Have a laugh. Move on.

Yeah. Well, no one died. Jimmy Fallon. Did anyone die? No, not as far as I know. Jimmy Fallon, the talk show host from America, did a sketch on a as far as i know jimmy fallon the talk show host from america did a sketch on a ray gun as well uh i haven't actually seen the sketch because i don't

think i'm in a place yet to watch it but i will watch it at some point and you know a few different people have kind of explained it to me and given me different takes on it but i'm still in the process of being able to describe how i feel about all this stuff because it kind of feels like a really weird dream that I've been having that I'm going to wake up from at any moment. Like, what is life right now? She's quite smart getting off. Yeah, she pretty much has not been looking at social media, which I think is probably quite good for her mental health, good or bad, because you're only really focused on the negative comments. Although you'd want to know, you'd ask your friends, like, how's it going out there? You'd be like, yeah, good, good. Yeah, no, good or bad, because you're only really focused on the negative comments. Although you'd want to know, you'd ask your friends, how's it going out there? You'd be like, yeah, good, good.

Yeah, no, good. Good, Reagan. It's all good. What are they saying? Oh, only good stuff. All stuff. All great stuff. Just quickly, there was a whole thing about how she didn't qualify on her own merits. It was like her husband was in this, was one of the judges and all. She paid off all this. The internet went wild

with conspiracy theories and here was Reagan's response to how she got there well i i think my my record speaks to that you know i was the top ranked australian b girl in 2020 and 2022 and 2023 i've been invited to represent at um how many world championships par Paris, Korea, you know, so the record is there. Also, the judges that judged her were all from overseas and she didn't know any of them is what she said as well. So, yeah, there were seven judges that judged her. Did she do a different dance?

She did a different routine. Yeah, she did do that routine. Yeah, she did like a more traditional dance. Do you think the judges were like this? Yeah, it wasn't like they're bouncing around like a kangaroo. They're like, yes, she's got to go to the Olympics. Well, the judges were like, let's sabotage Australia's breakdance entry. But no, good on her.

She seems like a lovely person. Yeah, she does actually. And let's just stop bullying the poor woman. It's only breakdancing, guys. She copped like a kangaroo. I don't think she deserves death threats. No, exactly. She gave us a laugh. Why is everyone on the. She copped like a kangaroo. I don't think she deserves death threats. She gave us a laugh.

What was the one on the ground? Was she like a prawn? Yeah, I don't know what that was. Very interpretive. I like that move. I like that move. Bust that out at the office Christmas party this year. Now yesterday, big news story out of Christchurch.

It's actually gone to court. About $200,000 was found in the roof of a house of people that had been living in the house for a while. They did the right thing and turned it into the police and the police said it's probably from a criminal, sort of from some people up to no good. Of ill gains. Started making trouble in the neighbourhood. You know how it works.

And so they have said that that's now the Crown's money and the people are like, well, hang on. Oh, so they judged that. Well, that's what the police are trying to say. So it's gone to the court. Although there was the other argument that if it was made through ill gains that those people might be reminded that they did leave it in the roof and come and collect it, which is terrifying.

Yeah, they shouldn't have said anything. Yeah, should have just kept it. Well, that's, yeah, there's probably a lot of people out there going, would you, would you? Because then you'd go, my plan would be like, if they come back, people in leather vests come back, I'd be firstly, hey, nice leather vest, where do I get one of those? Secondly, I'd be like, hey, I just need to look in the attic. I'd be like, oh, no, some guy came over and we got a guy come over and cleaned out the whole house before we moved in. Oh, nice.

Fumigator. No, you just go, yeah, look in the attic. Yeah, it's all good. And then there's nothing there. And you'll be like, oh, were you looking for something? I don't know. There's nothing there. We never found anything.

That's another option. Deny, deny, deny. Ignorant, ignorant. I've got to go to the dairy in my Lamborghini outside. I don't know how I purchased this. But grandparents also stash. Gang members and grandparents love stashing stuff, don't they? And I get it. I get how old people end up with so much stuff. also stashed gang members and grandparents love stashing stuff don't they uh and they do and i

get it i get how old people end up with so much stuff i'm only halfway through life yeah and i and i look in the roof and i'm like we've got so much stuff and i i guess it's always on the to-do list must clear out that thing it's and maybe it just stays on your to-do list for the entirety of your life and then you get to 90 and you're like, oh, it can be someone else's problem. Yeah, it'll become someone else's to-do list. There's a thing now called a death clean where a lot of younger people are getting their parents or helping them do a death clean. So they don't have to do it afterwards. Cheery name for it.

I know. Could do with a rebrand. We want to know what you found in the Grando's house after they have passed. Chris, good morning. Good morning. Lovely to have you on the show this morning. What did you find in the grandparents' stash when you cleared out their house? I found some letters with some juicy family gossip.

And what do you do with that information? Well, we got together as a family and read the letters together. How juicy is juicy? Oh, there was some. Let's just say that my Nana didn't quite believe that my uncle was the father to my auntie's child. Oh, so she put all her thoughts down into letters, has she? Yeah, but they were like dated and addressed, ready to send out, but she never sent them.

Oh, so she was going to drop the bomb. Yeah. Wow. Wait, were the auntie and uncle there when the letters were read? Yep. Wow, what was their reaction to this? They had overheard this theory before, but there was never any written proof of it.

Well, now there is. Yeah, they were a bit shocked, but they already knew it was going to happen. Oh, so they kind of expected it. Yeah. Wow. Spicy, man. Yeah, so this is obviously from decades ago. Yeah, about 2000.

Everyone's still getting along after the spicy leaders? Yep, she's kind of got dementia now, so we've kind of moved through it. That can be a sad thing, can't it, dementia? Well, it is a sad thing, not can be. Yep. Well, hey, thinking of you all and some juicy letters there. Appreciate your call. Thank you.

Hello, The Hits. What did you find in the grandparents' stash? I didn't find it. My uncle found it. A live grenade. Whereabouts? Whoa. Under the bed in the shoebox.

A live grenade. My goodness. What a way to feel alive. Am I going to blow up today? He obviously kept it from the war. Yep, obviously. Fun fact, it was leaching glycerine, so the bomb squad had to get called to remove it in Greytown.

Whoa. My gosh, and he was sleeping on top of the thing. Yeah. Did he know it was there? Yeah, he wouldn't have known he had put it there, yep. Oh my gosh. It's not an under the bed object, is it? No, definitely not.

Oh, that is impressive. And did you keep the grenade or the bomb squad destroyed it? I'd say it got destroyed. Yeah. I don't think I'd want to keep it. No, well, that's a wonderful family heirloom too, isn't it? I hand you down this live grenade. From one generation to the next. Hey, thanks for your call.

Appreciate it. No worries. Hey, next, Megan, something you've noticed on your local Facebook page. And it's actually caused quite a stir. I want to know which side you sit on on this. Yeah, I can see why it's caused such a stir, and we'll get to that in five minutes on The Hits. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.

A really interesting thing on the local community page for you, Megan, Facebook. Yeah, I saw this. This happened yesterday, and people posted it up. The person who posted it was angry. Great. Love an angry community Facebook page post. It was in the defense of some people who had parked their car at a mall.

And the owner of the car had had a medical event. And so the ambulance had come to pick them up. Now, it looks as though the ambulance driver or someone who was there had left a message on the person's car saying, Please do not ticket these cars. The owner has needed to go to hospital after a medical event. They will collect the cars when able. And there was a phone number left. And right beside the note is a ticket, a parking ticket.

Now, apparently when this was given, there was still ambulances there. So everyone's disputing that the parking warden would have seen the event going down. And no, it's not a lie. And he's like, rules are rules. Rules are rules. You can't make this a P30. But I was in this area yesterday and I saw this car parking ticketing. Because you told me they have cars now that have cameras on top.

Yeah, it's a nightmare. And they do the ticketing with a camera. Does that mean I automatically... There's no one you can abuse. Does it automatically print now? I don't think they print tickets for those, right? As I can testify, about a week or two later, you'll just get a ticket. Miraculously, magically turns up at work.

Okay. And so there's no confrontation. There's no awkwardness on their part. You don't know who you you hurling your abuse at. So your community Facebook page seems to be the place you can vent. So this looks like a physical ticket. So the person would have had to stand there and print it out. Legend.

Legend of a parking warden. And there's no way they wouldn't have not seen the note by the look of it, right? It's right beside the note. They put it right beside the note. Although the note could be an elaborate ruse too. Well, the ambulance is still there. You could have called an ambulance just to get parking. You can see the time on the ticket.

It does seem very harsh. But you'd think if you wrote in, you'd get off that. So people are arguing saying this person is purely doing their job. And you can write in and explain and you'll get off it. And then other people are like, look, I've written in before with a very valid excuse and I haven't got off it. And also they were like, this person has the right in that moment to be objective and be like, actually, I'm going to be a human and maybe not give them a ticket.

Well, no, they've got one job. One job only, and that's to ticket people. They don't have to worry about their surroundings. Their issue is how long has this car been parked here. Very passive-aggressive, though, to stick the ticket right beside the note. Oh, yeah. That is beautiful. They might have just made them a little closer for the gram.

Would you give a ticket in that situation? No. How far off my monthly targets am I? I'd be a shocker at that job. People come up and go, what are we? Oh, all right. I know, I'd be like that. I'd let people, yeah, you're right, me too.

Don't like confrontation. Just not the right person for that job. Text 4487, quick poll. Whose side are you on here? Parking warden or the poor person who had a medical event and was lying in an ambulance as though being ticketed? Next as well, we get to play one song and one song only. A throwback song that you decide.

We each pitch our case for a throwback Thursday in three minutes. There's one. There's one of them. What a great day. It's up in three minutes on the hits When I come around The hits The Jono and Ben podcast Hey Megan you were just saying in passing

Actually that your mum Ray Ray Is a prolific ironer It's something she loves to do Even when she comes to stay at our house She'll be ironing pillowcases Sheets Towels, everything like You just don't need to be ironing.

Although I don't even like iron at all. Oh, no, and I can't remember the last time I ironed. I mean, I do appreciate a nice crease-free something, but I don't like making it crease-free. No. It just seems like dead time to me. That's like the last chore on the list, right? Like, there's always a million other things to do. No one's ironing these days.

What's the wildest thing you've ironed? 4 for 8, 7. It might not even be Hot Fire Topics this morning. Sexy chat. 0800, that's 4 for 8, 7. It might not even be you. You might not want to dob yourself in. It might be someone in your family because what are the items Ray raised?

Well, she does towels which, Towels? They don't need to be ironed. They're going to rub the water off my body. Yeah. Towels.

Tea towels. I know I do it but I can kind of get maybe. Yeah. Towels seem thick for ironing. She has been known to iron sheets

which are just going to get crinkled. Yeah. I'm going to spread it out on my bed. You know? Yeah. I mean it just seems

like a redundant task. Like when the company makes me reset my bloody password for email every nine days. And you can't repeat it. Just feels like dead time. So we went through to Ray Ray yesterday to talk more about her ironing and the conversation took a bit of a dog leg. Or a frog leg.

Have a listen. Ray speaking. Ray, you sound busy. Are you deep in the ironing, mate? Oh, no, no, no. I'm having trouble with a frog. You're having trouble with a frog? Yeah, we've had heavy rain overnight,

and I got up this morning, and I thought, and I thought, where's this... ...dess dessert spoon? And every time I went to pick him up, he hopped away. So I've been around the kitchen chasing a frog. That's not that tiny. You do sound like you're in a flap. No, I'm a bit harassed.

Have you got the frog outside yet or not? I'm feeling the pressure. Is it still inside, the frog? No. Well, he was out on the grass. He's hopping around. He's pretty mobile, but slimy. I've got to pick him up and he's jumping all on the grass. He's hopping around. He's, you know, pretty mobile, but, yeah, a bit slimy. I've got to pick him up and he's jumping all over the place.

She's all go in the house this morning. Yep, yep, it's all go. We wanted to discuss your hobby that you even do when you come to my house. How? Cleaning. That, but like specifically. She loves the window cleaner. Getting rid of frogs.

I've just got a new window cleaner now. It's awesome. Oh, you've got like a Karcher job. I'm on the V8 model now. Oh, you've got the V8 window cleaner. Yeah. Jeez, they must be sparkly clean. So she's listed off her hobbies, floors, windows, cleaning.

It's like late afternoon. What would you do? Have a sleep. She's a liar. Ironing. We want to talk about ironing. I open my bottle of wine. Am I allowed to say that? Have a sleep. You liar. Ironing. We want to talk about ironing. I open my bottle of wine. Am I allowed to say that?

You can say that as well, but it took you a while to get to ironing. Yeah, not ironing. How often would you spend ironing, do you reckon? Not back a wee bit now. It's probably only twice and three times a week. Oh, so not as much as you used to do. Pillow cases. Do they need ironing?

Of course. T-shirts? Yes. Pretty good. Oh, well, we better let you go. We don't want to put your routine out. You've got frogs. Frogs have already thrown you up the whack today, Rory.

So we better go. Yeah, well, it's been nice chatting. Yeah, well, you enjoy the ironing this afternoon. I think you. Okay. There you go. Pillowcases. Socks?

Has you ironed socks before, Megan? Probably. Towels? Everything. Wildest item that you've seen ironed. Yeah. AKA the wildest waste of time. Which I feel like sometimes, but some people love it.

And if it's your thing, I guess it's your thing. Okay, 0800-TH 0800-4487. We'll get to that next on The Hit. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Megan, your mum, Ray Ray, a prolific ironer. Loves an iron. I think it's her way to chill out, maybe. If she comes to your house,

I can't think of a better way. If she comes to your house, are all the chores tended to, are they? Yeah, yeah. So much so that it's really hard to get her to do anything fun because she's like, oh, I need to hang out the washing I'm like, you don't live here You know when something becomes part of your daily and your routine

If you don't do it though, you feel out of sorts So I can see it's like an addiction Any addiction isn't gambling Ben's like, if I don't get to the pokies today, you never know It just becomes a part of you So we want to know the craziest thing you've ironed Ruby, you're on Hi How are you Rubes? It just comes a part of you. So we want to know the craziest thing you've ironed. Ruby, you're on.

Hi. How are you, Rubes? Good. How are you? Yeah, good. You sound a little guilty. What are you ashamed to admit you've ironed? My hair.

Like recently? No, this was during school. Okay. Does it sizzle? Yep. Yep. 100%. It burns it all away. No, this is during school. Okay. Does it sizzle? Yep, yep. 100%. It burns it all away. So did you get rid of a large quantity of your hair by ironing it?

No, never. Was it ironed to hair or did you have like a towel or something in between? No, it was just ironed to hair. Imagine a low setting. Maybe you had a low setting. Yeah, like what did you put it on? Linen, cotton or like? I just put it setting, maybe. What did you put it on? Linen? Cotton? I just put it on the table.

I guess there's hair irons now, you know, but if you don't have one of those, maybe improvising. Kiwi hero. What a battler. How close to the scalp did you get? Oh, not very close. Okay, well, that's good. That's for the best.

Sermon Hillary, John Britton, Kate Shepard and Ruby. Some of the finest New Zealanders out there. Maybe that's what happened to my hair. That could be the elaborate backstory. Hey, good on you, Rubes. You're going to have a wonderful Thursday, all right? Cool, thank you. Nicole on the phone.

Are you the ironer or you want to dub someone in, Nicole? No, my mum. Yeah, I feel like the generation we're in and below, ironing's going to slowly slip out of fashion. It's going to become extinct. I feel like we're also making clothes that don't need an iron as much. Like nothing I'm wearing today I'd put under the iron. And clothes are so cheap, fast fashion, baby.

If I wear a t-shirt once, it's wrinkly, throw it out, buy a new one. But I mean, I guess if you're going to a job where you're wearing a suit and tie sort of situation, I've got mates that do that, do their ironing in the weekends. I suppose you do that look. Respectable for your job and it's important. Nicole, your mum, what's your ironing? Well, Dad only had like a couple of shirts, so while she had the iron out,

she would just raid the house to see what could be ironed just to make the most of having the iron out. Yep, right. Pankies, socks, whatever else you could find, really. Socks, did you say? Socks. Socks? You had ironed socks when you were growing up?

Yeah, that was nice. It would feel nice, too. Would it? Would it feel any different? Yeah, probably. I feel like a nice pair of ironed underpants would feel nice in there, around that crotch-y region for me. As well, handkerchiefs. Big one, too.

They're kind of disappearing out of popularity, aren't they? They are, but they're still going strong in my household. Yeah, the old little disease rags, handkerchiefs. I remember my mum would have hers up her sleeve there by her wrist, and she'd pull it out on any occasion when I had any muck on my face and I'd be like I remember thinking at the time going where else has that been? It's not very hygienic right carrying that around all day. It's pretty grim. No good on you Nicole. Hey appreciate your time

you have a great day. Thanks see ya. Good on you. Now we've got Jane how are you? Hi I'm good how are you? You sound like an ironer. I don't want to stereotype but you sound like you love ironing. Yeah I do actually. How are you? You sound like an ironer. I don't want to stereotype, but you sound like you love ironing. Yeah, I do, actually. Yeah.

I find it really good therapy. Well, Ben, you were just saying your mum, Jenny, the wonderful Jenny Boyce, irons and watches Netflix. Yeah, she loves it. Yeah, she'll watch a series, put the iron up, maybe have a glass of wine or a cup of tea or whatever it is and just kind of do it. Yeah, I kind of see that. It's like people building Lego or whatever,

doing a puzzle or something in front of the TV. It's, yeah. Netflix and chores. Yeah, she does the line. What are you eyeing, Jane? I'm eyeing some money. What? Because I was giving cash to a guy

that was coming round to clean my chimney and I had folded it and you know how when you fold it now it's all ugly? I don't think he would have minded. So you had crinkly... She can't even have her cash notes crinkled up. I was a bit embarrassed, so I was ironing. So I thought, I'll just iron this $10 note.

But, question, isn't the money these days plastic? Like, did it shrivel up? Yeah. Yeah, I've still got it. I did it about six years ago. I've still got it, and it is now the size of an EF postcard. Is it still legal tender at that point? It's just money.

Well, the serial number's still on it, so I guess I could take it to the bank. I'm a little bit embarrassed. I don't know why I'm embarrassed, but... That is brilliant. Yeah, because you're embarrassed because they're going to be like, what have you done to this? You're like, oh, I thought I'd iron my money. Money laundering.

I've never done it again. I can imagine, Jane. That is a brilliant call. That's good. You learnt your lesson. You're going to have a great day, Jane. You and your shriveled up $10 notes. Bye.

See you, mate. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. I don't want anyone to come for me. This is, I don't shoot the messenger. This is just a thing that's been leaked and I'm reporting on it. I am happy for Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift. If they are happy, that's chill with me. No, you have never been happy for them.

You've always had it in for our mate Travis. You're like, he's a party. No, I'm just not sure if he's the one for her. Oh, I see. You're right, Jono. He's a party lad. He's a lad, lad, lad. Is that under dispute?

I'm sorry for partying. I had some beers after winning the Super Bowl. Sorry for screaming at my coach. Live on World Wide TV. That wasn't okay. That was a bit far. So Travis Kelsey has, this has been leaked. It's a document which appears to be from his representative firm

about a contract for their relationship. So it states that their relationship will end at the end of this month and that that will be mutual. It goes down into how it's going to be sent to media outlets and that it's all fine and they're going to be happy and happy for each other. If you don't mind me asking, how did you manage to get your hands on this dossier? So someone has found it on a desk and it looks like it's been sent on Snapchat

saying this was on Rachel's desk right now. Who leaves that on their desk? There's a lot of question marks over this. Here's the smoke to add to this fire. Okay, so first the agency's saying that's a fake document. Well, of course they would if someone's found it.

But who, yeah, I wrote it to you, Johnno, and someone goes, oh, look what Sarah's, look at her desk. Lol, that's something that we do to prank the internet. who, yeah, I wrote it to you, Johnno, and someone go, oh, look what Sarah's, look what she does. Lol, that's something that we do to prank the internet. Yeah,

sloppy, a sloppy admin. No, but it's been sent to someone. It wasn't sent to like, the media. It was sent through to like personal people

on Snapchat. but we've done that in the past. Remember, we faked the ice cream falling on the lady's head and then she looked like a seagoer that pooped on her head and she licked the ice cream.

We sent that to someone else. They put it on their Facebook page. Then from there, we were removed from it. You're really pulling back the curtain. I'm just saying it can be done. We've done it before. I'm not saying this is an occasion.

But again, so I understand everything you're saying. Here's the smoke. Travis Kelsey's current rep has in the past, in 2019, admitted to creating showmances He says there's a reason we do it and it's to

Promote concerts Or movies or get hype In the moment it's so projects That people are doing don't flop Podcast He just signed A hundred million dollar deal for his Podcast

Who was going on an ERAs tour. I don't know that she necessarily needed the promotion. But it was all timed pretty well. Exactly. But what's the benefit to her for this? She's just helping this other bloke. She was selling out her concerts. But she was selling out concerts anyway, wasn't she?

Yeah, right. She didn't need the hype. Maybe there's a monetary gain there. Maybe she's been paid. I don't know. I'm just saying he's admitted to doing it before. So you're calling it now? You're calling it now?

You've seen the evidence? Well, I don't know. Now the documents have been leaked. They can't break up at the end of this month. September 28th is the date, according to the documents. If they've both entered into this contract, they're all good for them. As long as they're both happy, who cares? But it's interesting. There's nothing they're both happy, who cares? But it's interesting.

There's nothing real now. Well, who knows? It might be real. Ben was so happy for them. I bought a t-shirt. I bought a t-shirt of Taylor Swift. It said Taylor Swift, Kansas City Swifts, and it was all her partying and his football games.

You're saying my t-shirt's a lie? We don't know. It was great for the NFL, wasn't it? Granted. Yeah. Probably brought a whole new audience to the Super Bowl. It was great for the NFL, wasn't it? Granted. Yeah. Probably brought a whole new audience to the Super Bowl. It was great for the NFL.

I don't want to believe it, but hey, I might be wrong. So who knows? Who knows right now? Just so you know, everything you hear on the internet these days,

you don't. It's all real. You've got a question. You've got a question. Well, listen, we'll mark this moment and we'll wait for September 28th.

Yeah. Okay. All right, we'll find out. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. The Paralympics is on overnight in Paris. Holly Robertson won a bronze.

Congratulations to her. It was awesome. And, of course, Dame Lisa Carrington returned home from Paris after winning her eighth gold medal, which is incredible. Our most successful athlete ever. Does she stop now? Or does she keep going? I think she's considering it.

She hasn't decided yet whether she's going to go to L.A., the next Olympics or not. Oh, just have a rest. Just be like, I think I've done enough. I saw Snoop Dogg, he's obviously going to be the ambassador for the Los Angeles one as well, given that's his home city. And he has been interviewed about it. And he's like, I'm in talks with them to have the Hood Olympics.

Oh, wow. So like in Compton, he's like, there's some really fast people. I've seen people running from police really fast and he's like he's like I want to organise it so it all makes sense

but he's like I've seen people jump fences and run away from police he's like we've got some fast people there's something in there so he's going to give that ego

he's pitching that Dave Lisa Carrington she's got a brand new kids book out this week it's called Lisa Carrington Chases the Champion in Tadeo as well

as you can get a copy of that as well because it's a kids book we thought my daughter Siennaadeo as well, as you can get a copy of that as well. Because it's a kid's book, we thought my daughter Sienna is probably good to interview her. You know, being a kid, child labour and all. And also, you'll hear the full thing on Sienna and my podcast when I grow up. But we got a little bit of a chat about her book with Dame Lisa Carrington yesterday. Your nickname is the goat in the boat. Do you like that?

I don't know. Obviously greatest of all time, rather than just a goat that's out there with the horns eating tin cans and stuff what do you guys think well it's obviously it's saying you're great but at the same time i don't know no one's ever called me a goat in anything yeah so i don't know yeah yeah i mean it's it's all right you also have a kid's book out called lisa carrington chases Champion. Which we've got right here. And dad is stoked that it's a kid book because it's not too hard for him to read. Yeah, good pictures too. Good pictures, I like it.

And in today as well, which is awesome. Yeah, the book is about resilience. So why do you think kids should learn about resilience? Yeah, I think when growing up, I think the lessons that I learned and still learning now are things that I would love to kind of know and be seen in the books I read or around the people that I'm around. So I guess that's kind of my intention is if, you know, someone, the lessons I've learned, if I could weave them into young Lisa, if she was eight or ten or however old you want to be, I think I could say that you'd be in a really great place

to then tackle life. Still hasn't been to an opening ceremony. Because of when her event is. Yeah. So she's like, I arrived after the opening ceremony. So I've never actually experienced an opening ceremony. Oh, because it'd be a bit of a revolving door in the village, I imagine, around schedules. Yeah. Around schedules.

Which is quite unusual as well. But yeah, what is it like at the Olympics? Yeah, it is. And it's like every four years, all these athletes from all around the world, different sports get to come together in one place. And so there's only, you know, you think about it, there's like a medal, there's medals given out multiple times a day. Yeah. You think about it, there's medals given out multiple times a day.

So we were just one sport out of, sorry, I don't even know how many sports there are at the Olympics, but there's a lot. So there's lots of medals being given out. So you think this is really special for so many people from around the world and this is what you get to share with them. She had a bag. She was very humble. She's got no awards up,

only one of her Sportsperson of the Year awards up in her house. Nothing else. No medals on display or anything. She's like, oh cool, I've done that. I kind of feel like, it's great, I appreciate it. But then I'm on to the next thing. Plus, it's Lisa Carrington, like everyone knows she's won lots. I was like, do you have your medals? She's like,

yeah I do. And then she had a bag, like a shopping bag. It had like eight medals, eight gold medals. Like a reusable shopping bag. Well, basically, yeah, like that. But like, it's your family that's coming around to your house all the time, mainly. And I feel like your family's like, all right, mate. You leave one of me. Yeah, they were in socks.

They were like in socks inside the bag. Oh, that's good safekeeping. Yeah, I guess. Are they in a sock drawer? Well, I don't know if she keeps a sock drawer, but I guess because there's so many of them, they clank against each other. Did you get a pair of those fast looking glasses

that she wears? No, I did ask about those. She said they're not from the gas station. They don't have flames down the side to make them even faster. Dame Lisa Carrington,

you get her new book out right now. It's called Chase is a Champion. It's for kids. It's a great message about persistence as well in life

and she'll be on the, the full chat will be on the podcast with Sienna, my daughter, coming soon to When I Grow Up. For kids and terrible adult readers yeah i was like this so she's like there's so many pictures in there i'm like great great that's the perfect book for me next we're going to get hold of uh your mom ray ray and nelson there megan yeah she does something for like an hour every day and the items she does it with too. Never even imagined doing this. That's in three minutes on The Hits.

The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. John Travolta, movie star, was in Queenstown yesterday flying his plane. As he does, he flew in, flew out, and you were saying, Megan, he loves Queenstown. He's said in the past in interviews that whenever he feels stressed, he flies into Queenstown for a bit of a break. Don't we all?

We'd love to. It's a little bit of stress in the day. Just get on your own plane that you can fly and then to Queenstown. Wearing a wig since the 2000s. Yeah, and he was sporting, like, he's taking the wig off. He was sporting his bald head. Looks great. Is he a wig guy?

Yeah. He's in the 2000s. Really? Google it and you'll be like, I don't know how I never saw it before. So I could make the transition. It's an the 2000s. Really? Google it and you'll be like, I don't know how I never saw it before. Yeah. So I could make the transition. It's an option, mate. I think John looks better bald.

I think many guys look better bald. Generally. It's what nature has decided for you. It's what Mother Nature has gone, hey, you're not a hair person. So just stick with it. Yeso's driving home. I saw a bumper sticker on the back of the car.

And it was mildly controversial. On the scale of, hope you have a nice day to Trump 2024. It was kind of sitting teetering in the middle. I wrote it down and it said, grass and girls ride for free.

So compost and babes ride for free. Hang on, I So compost and babes ride for free. Hang on, I get the girl part. What's a grunt? Weed, is it not? I assume the devil's lettuce. Oh, you're so innocent. No, I didn't pick up on that one.

I was thinking like a... Grunt clippings? Yeah, that's what I was thinking, like a Jim's Mowing Service or something. Oh, bless. You know, there's moments where you look back on your life and you cringe. I remember I had, if it's too loud, you're too old.

Oh, did you? And now I am old. I'm like, yeah, stuff is too loud. I'm constantly telling kids, turn the YouTube down. Do you know what I was thinking about just as you said that? You know, on bins, sometimes they have a nice little sticker with the person. It's like a stick figure putting the rubbish into the bin. One had fallen off one day, and I was next to my dad's ute when I was a younger kid,

and I put it on the back window. He had a ute, and he didn't realize that was on there. Then they got like a permanent canopy, like a lid over the top of the back of the ute, like a tray, and the sticker was inside. They could not get that sticker off because it was permanently, the tray was outside. You couldn't get to the window anymore because there was another one on the outside. He's like, who put that sticker there? And I was like, there's a kid going, oh, God, I put the sticker there.

He was going around with a guy putting rubbish into a bin sticker. What was the one I managed to slip onto the back? And you were driving around with it for weeks. Yeah, it was on the back of the license plate, wasn't it? Something to do with. Oh, yeah. You know how you get a frame for your for weeks. Yeah, it was on the back of the license plate, wasn't it? Something to do with... Oh, yeah. You know how you get a frame for your license plate?

Yeah, yeah. I clipped one on... I didn't know about it for ages. Yeah, much like my dad's thing. It was something about... It was a little bit misogynistic, wasn't it?

Yeah, it was about hot girls... Oh, it's on brand for you, don't I hear? Yeah, red or something. Yeah. What was it? Here you go. I've got a sticker here.

Sexy babes drive red cars. And he had a red... I didn't have a red car. You just put it around the way. I had a red car. I didn't have a red car. You just put it around the way. I had a red car. Thank you. There you go. It's very true.

Sexy babes drive red cars. My mom had a red car. Ray Ray. Ray Ray's a sexy. No, I'm not going to go there. It worked. Hey, next, we've got $1,000. If you can convert someone to listen to our radio show.

Someone's taken up that challenge thanks to Dilma, and we're going to check in on them next. I feel like this is a form of entrapment that we're about to. Pretending to be another radio station, Megan. You up for this? I'm down. All right, we'll do that next on The Hits. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.

The Hits and Dilma, do try it. It's such a great catchphrase that Dilma and I have had for many years. Do try it. And we've teamed up with them to see if we can get some people to try our radio show. If you nominate someone who doesn't listen and they listen throughout the week, we're going to put them to the test with a quiz on a Friday. If they get it all right, you will split $1,000 between them and a hot and cold tea prize pack thanks to Dilma Tea.

Nadia Gibson. She nominated her mum, Mary Ann, to be the person to listen for the entirety of the week and tomorrow we'll be putting Mary Ann on the boiler cooker, the pressure what do you call it? The pressure cooker. Putting her to the test. Five in a row. The crock pot.

The crock pot. Just on a long simmer. If she gets all five questions correct, she gets the $1000. Now yesterday, yesterday, Megan, you had a bit of a plan which it felt like it was in the world of entrapment

where we were going to phone Marianne who is meant to be listening to the station. We couldn't get hold of Marianne so we were like, oh, we'll do it on Nadia who's nominated Marianne.

Nadia. Who claims to be a hits lister already. Yeah, exactly. She listens to the show, she listens to the hits. As an entrapment, I thought we were just

like testing her out. Well, yeah, but we didn't need to test her. She listens to the show, she listens to the hits. As an entrapment, I thought we were just testing her out. Well, yeah, but we didn't need to test her. She was already a lister. The results blindsided us. Now, just to give you a back story, it felt like, did you ever watch To Catch a Predator? Don't put it in that category. Where these guys would come in, these young girls,

and then all of a sudden a guy would come out, he's like, I'm Chris Hansen from Dateline NBC, and then the FBI would pounce out of the bushes. They kind of deserved that, where I don't know. She didn't deserve this at all. No. No, I feel really bad for her. She's great.

She loves our show, loves the hits, and she just kind of went, I think because she's such a lovely person, she just went along with what you had to say. Yeah. So you assumed the role as a researcher, a market researcher from a rival radio station. Now, for the sake of our precious audience

as little ears, we've censored the name of the rival radio station, because if you hear it it'll just make you uneasy. Yeah, exactly. Like to catch a predator. That's where you can put them in the same category. That seems like the fair thing to do. So Megan

phoned them. That's totally unwanted. Megan phoned Nadia yesterday. Have a listen. Hello, Nadia speaking. Hi there, it's Rebecca calling from... How are you today? I'm good, thank you.

Hi, I was just wondering if you wouldn't mind taking part in just a wee quick focus group for us. Yeah, yeah, that's fine. So it's just a few questions. I was wondering how often would you say you listen to M**** FM? Weekly, yeah, weekly. Okay, and who are some of your favourite hosts? I don't actually know them by name to be honest because I just kind of listen yeah to the, I just, I like

your thing of music your range of music so yeah I don't sort of listen to any particular slot. Okay great. Do you listen to other radio stations? Do you have another favourite station? Yeah I listen to 90s sometimes

yeah. And what do you think sets more f***ing them apart Um, yeah, listen to, um, sometimes. Yeah. And what do you think sets more apart from other stations? Your competitions, your competitions are pretty good. Far superior than, than other stations? Yes. Yep. So, so like listening to it, to a radio station all week to win a thousand dollars far superior than that? Um, yeah, yeah, absolutely.

But not only that, like your music is obviously like, yeah, the main reason I listen to you. Gibbo, stop talking. Gibbo, Gibbo. I thought we had a relationship. Gibbo. Oh, God.

Oh, sorry. Do you know what? I was going to answer the phone saying, Gibbo here, and then I thought, oh, God, why is this not new? Gibbo, Gibbo, you're cheating on us. No, but do you know what? I don't actually listen to them, and I thought, oh God, what if it's not you? Gibbo, Gibbo, you're cheating on us. No, but you know what? I don't actually listen to them.

And I just, well. I don't know what to believe, Gibbo. Well, she couldn't name any hosts. She was like, oh, I don't know their names. You're very agreeable on the phone. I like that. I mean, you know, I want to find out their names. And then that would have been like, oh shit, she does listen to them.

Fumble, fumble, fumble, fumble, fumble. So now we need to convert you to listen to our show as well as your mum. Is that what's happening now? Name a couple of hosts on the hits. Apart from you guys, Jono and Ben. Megan, of course. Yeah, we go. All right.

Well, hey, halfway through this, I'm like, oh my God, maybe she doesn't listen to us. Oh, it's PJ and Maddie and PJ. There you go. There you go. I believe you now. Listen, in life, you've got to keep your options open. I know. Don Maddie and PJ. There you go. I believe you now. Listen, in life you've got to keep your options open.

Don't blame you. We can't complain. We've been on half the radio stations in New Zealand. Oh, no, I know. I mean, I used to

listen to you guys on The Rock and The Edge. And I used to watch Pulp Sport. That was actually my favourite. I wish they'd

bring that back. So does Ben. Just anything. Anything. All right, Gib back. So does Ben. Just anything. Anything. All right, Gibbo, go and have a great day. You too. Bye. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.

The breakdancer Rae Gunn has done her first interview since the Olympics as well, talking about how she's been dealing with things. Fortunately, she got some mental health advice pretty early on to help her through what has been just a barrage on the internet. Yeah, it's been a pretty wild ride. I'm not going to lie. I definitely have my ups and downs, my good and bad days, but it has been honestly so amazing to see the positive response to my performance. Like, I never thought that I would be able to connect with so many people in such a positive way.

Positive way? Yeah, I mean, yeah. She hasn't been on the internet, so I guess if you're her friend, you'd be like, it's all positive out there, mate. Nothing but positive stuff, but I'm glad she's, it seems like she's quite pragmatic about the whole thing. Yeah, obviously it hasn't been easy, but hey, you know. Yeah, I don't know, you all feel like monsters, don't you? Laughing at Ray again. But again, we said it earlier this morning, who cares?

It's just breakdancing. I don't want to disrespect the sport of breakdancing, but any sport. It's just sport. Yeah, you're right. No, we can get over it. Move on. Far more important things. Like what happened to me this morning.

Yeah, I was going to say, you get a segue into this Move on. Far more important things. Like what happened to me this morning. Yeah, I was going to say, you've got to segue into this, which is not important at all. Sorry, Reagan. You've had your time in the sun. Time for me to tell you about a treacherous, treacherous event this morning. So I'm in the bathroom, okay? Yeah. Fully naked.

Be careful at your age. Yeah, he's had a fall. You've had a fall. One of these had a fall moments, is it? I did. had a He's had a fall You've had a fall That's one of these Had a fall moments is it I did It's gone from falling over To you've had a fall Oh yeah

Oh John I had a fall I'm in that category now Yeah Yeah you said Well I did have a fall Yeah So I've You know I've emerged from the shower

Sopping wet Okay Toweled my body down Yeah Put on the under Put on my white Are you imagining like Mr Burns When they got painted by Marge?

It's a bit much of a visual happening. Mr Burns. Yeah, just slightly saggy in parts, you know, wrinkly. And so then I've put my underwear on. And now I've gone to put on the trousers. Every day I've done this for a large majority of my life. So one leg in one slot. You know how to do it.

Thank you. Thank you for mansplaining that. So one leg in one slot. You know how to do it. Thank you. Thank you for mansplaining that. So the right leg is fully immersed. Okay. Now I've got the jeans up just below the waist there. And I've gone to put the second leg in again every day for many years. I've done this successfully. I know what I need to do there.

I need to put that in the other pipe hole. Bang. Put it through Somehow, in a lapse of judgement and error I've got my Foot and leg up to Sort of halfway up my calf, nearing my knee In the same hole

That my other leg is already in I'm like thinking to myself How have you done this? Now, it felt like, you know Those little Chinese finger locking machines where you put both your forefingers in either side and you can't get them out. Right. It felt like that except with legs and a pair of jeans.

And not even, like you're in a vulnerable position there because you're on one leg essentially. Not even Simone Biles could dismount from this gracefully. So I'm looking around. I'm in a panic. This is all happening in about three seconds. I'm looking around. Okay, I've got a glass door on the shower.

I want to avoid that if I fall. Oh, so you're in a forest. I can feel myself going. Where am I falling? Which way? Like a whole tree in the forest, you know? And then there's the porcelain toilet. Let's avoid that if I can.

So all I can see is the tiles on the floor and there's the scales. And I'm thinking, well, this is the only safe option. As I slowly come tumbling down, smash, bang, crash on the scales. The scales go flying because I land on them with my shoulder on the corner. Scales go flying into the glass door. You know what I hear from Jen, who's in the bed? Keep it down in there.

Keep it down in there. Fair enough, that's the right answer. Well, you're only getting changed. I'm like, where does it go from? Are you okay to keep it down in there I'm trying to Well you're only getting changed You're making such a I'm like Where does it go from Are you okay To keep it down Oh yeah

Do you want me to get your pair? They're normally about 12 years old, though, I guess. This is a guy who's currently got a Bart Simpson backpack.

Previous head of Toy Story backpack. Did you talk yourself out of buying yourself some wheelies? I don't know if they come in adult sizes, but. I'd love you just wheeling around the office.

Because I had a fall this morning when I tried to put my pants on and somehow ended up with two legs in one hole. Do we need to get you a hip x-ray? Like, is everything all right?
