The Jono, Ben and Megan podcast, thanks to Dilma. Goodness really does taste great. Dilma, making the world a better tea. Welcome to the podcast. And before we get into things, we need to, we just heard about something that you said at a shop yesterday. I literally had to turn around and cringe.

I turned around and was like, oh. Self-cringe, not secondhand cringe. I'm not good at small talk. And I panicked in the moment. What happened, mate? So I was asking to get a size of top in for my husband. So you know how they like courier from another shop? Great service from them.

And he was like, oh, do you want me to do that? Oh, I can get two sizes in case, you know, you don't know what size. I was like, amazing. Instead of saying amazing, I said rad. I was like, rad? Sounded a little sarcastic. Nah, because he was like this young cool dude in the

shop and I was like, rad? And I turned around and I was like, oh my god. Come on here quickly, just quickly, because I definitely don't ask me what words young people are using because I'm not... I'm pretty sure not rad. Yeah, I just want to check that one up as well. I have been doing a lot of research on words that young people have been using.

Has rad come back? Rad doesn't seem like it's come back, in my opinion, has it? Rad has most definitely not come back. Yeah, I thought so. So he wouldn't even know what you were saying. Rad, radical. You could have said radical.

No, that's worse. No, yeah. I literally was like, what are you... I never say rad. You told us what shop it was. It's Helenstine Brothers in your local mall.

Great service from them. Just see if it's been passed around in the staff room. Someone's saying hello speaking. Oh, g'day, mate. How are you? I'm good. How are you today? We're doing really well.

Listen, it's just Jono, Ben and Megan. We're phoning from the Hits radio station. Yeah. And Megan, our friend, she came in yesterday and she bought two shirts. And she might have been speaking to you behind the counter. You were going to order them in? I ordered, yeah, I ordered a couple of shirts from different stores. Do you remember the person who served them?

Oh, look, the shirts have all been ordered. She said it was fantastic service, but she said something at the end and now she feels embarrassed about it. Why is that? Well, you can relate, Megan. Yeah, I was meant to say like awesome or thank you would have been great, but I said rad.

Rad. Yeah. He's like, oh yeah, you're the one. We've all been talking about you. Yeah, it feels bad using rad, so yeah. Has it been the talk of the staff room? No, no, no.

We haven't talked about it. Was there a group email sent out? Someone just said rad. So she wanted to apologise for that little bit of uncoolness in your store? Just thank you for that. That's all good. That's all good. You guys are so nice.

It's lovely. They are lovely. Rad. Don't say rad. Don't say rad. Don't say rad. Well, thank you so much. And listen, case closed. Yeah, sweet.

You guys have a good day. You too. See you, mate. Geez, he even sounds good. Cool, doesn't he? Yeah. He made you feel good about it. I know.

They are very nice there. Yeah. Rad. He hung up. He's like, just had the rad lady on the phone. That old duck. We heard right. She didn't say rad. Yeah, rad. It's really rad. He hung up and he's like, just had the rad lady on the phone. That old duck. We heard right, she did say rad. Yeah, rad, it's really rad.

Now she's apologising for it. Oh, God. Enjoy the podcast. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits. Today is New Zealand Music T-shirt day, celebrating New Zealand music. Wear your favourite New Zealand music band T-shirt

or you can get one of the official music T-shirts as well. It's all raising money for musichelps.org.nz. Last night was the Aotearoa New Zealand Music Awards as well, too. Yeah, 660 giving the iconic, the first artist to be submitted into the icons. They've got a hall of fame. Hall of fame's full, so they've built a new hall with icons.

A new wing, a wing with icons in it, you know? And this is Chris Mack from 660 accepting the award. So I don't know if, like, hold music is part of the charts, but I feel like that's probably why we're standing here. And for that, I truly apologise. Good gag, good gag, But very modest, 660. A huge, hugely successful. Done some amazing things.

I think of all of their songs they've released. And all their huge venues. First one to Eden Park, selling out. New Zealand, though, you can't be like, yes, we deserve it. It's a good gag, too. And it's very funny. Record-breaking. Well done, 660.

And now, speaking of something very funny, yesterday we had to do a bit of filming, which you'll see next week. But as part of it, Megan, you had to wear a hoodie. Just like a hoodie. Grace, our Gen Z producer's hoodie. It wasn't mine. Now, there were issues from the start line,

weren't there, with this? Because you put your hands into the front pocket and you're like, uh, Grace, that's used tissues. Um, excuse me. I don't talk like that. Second of all,

anyone would find that gross if you're putting your hand in the pocket, it's full of tissues. I'll give you this one. I'll give you that one. That one. Okay. Grace was tissue. She was like,

I've got hay fever. I'm like, okay, great. So it's still snot. It hasn't been deposited anywhere else. It's just not contagious snot. But inside the pocket of the hoodie

So I get that this is not But before the tissue You know the tissues inside the pocket You weren't a fan of hoodies Now you said I have never bought a hoodie I do have two hoodies But they're both like promotional

Things that I've been given I've never physically bought one myself What do you go to the supermarket in? When you're in your pyjama pants And you're slippers You know I don't wear pyjamas I've never physically bought one myself What do you go to the supermarket in? When you're in your pyjama pants You know I don't wear pyjamas And I get the fact that you're not a hoodie sort of person I get it But what I didn't get was the reaction

Or the performance The performance You were just like pulling it away from your neck It was very like close and like strangly Like a kid in a scratchy jumper You're like oh look at that It's just a hoodie. It's the most relaxing top there is.

The hood at the back almost like pulls the neck against your throat. And I was thinking of all the high fashion things you've worn over the years. You wear high heels to work every day. You're in pain every day. You probably have things like around your neck, around your, all this stuff, strapped on, tape, all that sort of stuff. But there's a hoodie. I'm sure there were stick bits taped here and stuff, strapped on, tape, all that sort of stuff. But there's a hoodie. I'm sure there were bits taped here and there. Stripped on.

All things I imagine over the years you've attempted to use for various events. But the hoodie, you were like, oh, so much drama in wearing a hoodie. Sorry. Maybe I'm used to a certain level of like. Neckline. Uncomfortableness. But yeah. I don't know.

How's that? Because your neckline today, you've got like a cardi on yeah but it's like loose that one was like strangling me the weight of the hood and they're just

not like flattering I was like do I chuck the do I turn the hem under do I pull it down the hood's not that weighted

it's like a kettlebell hanging in the back or anything maybe it had a lot of tissues in it I don't know maybe that's where

Greg's put the neckline tissues Carl Lagerfeld used to say if you wear sweats you've given up yeah I'd be probably right actually Get a little bit of hanging in the back or anything. Maybe he had a lot of tissues in it. I don't know, mate. That's a great spot. The next one. Karl Lagerfeld used to say, if you wear sweats, you've given up. Yeah, he'd probably be right, actually. He's right. And I gave up 20 years ago. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast.

The hits. Producer Grace, Gen Z. Producer Grace's birthday. Happy birthday, Producer Grace. Thank you. 24 years old. She keeps, for the last few days, she's like, I'm going to be one day. One day. I'm a day.

I'm officially a day. I couldn't understand it. But then she said, you know, 24 hours in a day, 24. Oh, I see. An hour equals one year of my life. And so you guys are three days and I'm one day. Okay. So well done.

Happy birthday. One day. Good to see the sat has stopped on the birthday. It doesn't quite. We have to put up with it because it's a birthday. Come and meet me. Now, do you know she's using this as an excuse. Now, probably the most monstrous act to take place,

especially first thing in the morning. We park in a car park across the road and it's got an elevator, a lift, right? So this morning, Producer Grace and Producer Ellie, they've arrived at the car park slightly before me. And I've parked and I've seen them walk into the lift lobby. And I've gone, in my head, that's fine. They're just going ahead. They're getting on with their day.

And I don't begrudge anyone for that. That's right. Sometimes you've got stuff you need to do. You're on your way. That time of morning, keep things moving. Every minute counts. So I was like, I'll just catch the next lift anyway. I walk up to the lift lobby.

Okay. I see both our fastidious producers have left the doors open. And they're standing in the lift. And I'm like, oh, they've waited politely. Grace then looks me dead in the eyes. Dead in the eyes. And pushes the close lift button. As I'm walking towards it, they're

cackling. That's funny, I like that. And I'm shouting abuse, all sorts of profanities through the door as the lift is going up. Could you hear me? We can hear it. We're going up. And it wasn't like they weren't saving any time. If anything, they'd held up their day purely for

this sadistic manoeuvre. I've always wanted to do it. Does it feel good? It felt so good. Coldest thing I've ever been a part of. Surely I get one a year. Yeah, no, on your birthday. You should be able to do that on your birthday.

Yeah, so you can't be mean to me. One of the best ones I saw were on the Disney cruise and they've got an elevator going to multiple floors. It was quite busy and everyone goes around, all the staff goes, have a magical day, have a magical day. This lady was walking up towards the lift. It was quite full and another lady pushed the close day. This lady was walking up towards the lift. It was quite full. And another lady pushed the close button.

And she's just a member of the public. She was like, have a magical day. And I was like, wow, well done. Savage. It was a sassy have a magical day. At a serial murderer level. Oh, my God. Obviously, she didn't work for Disney.

Have a magical day. She was Disney. Have a magical day. She was like, have a magical day. I was like, wow. I was like, that was impressive. So I'll give you one a year, Grace. One a year on my birthday, okay. Get ready for next year. Did it feel good?

It was the best experience I've ever had. I'm riding the high. We've all done it, but there's something special about eyeballing someone. Well, you can do it on your birthday. That's about eyeballing someone well you can do it on your birthday that's a new rule maybe you can do it once on your birthday around the country john o'brien and megan the podcast the hits pit uh hollywood superstar of course been in the country recently spotted at mcdonald's on easter sunday randomly he's done well to keep yeah pretty low profile while he's been here yeah the only the only known sighting of him was at the West Auckland McDonald's drive-thru.

Yeah, I'm sure the people filming the movie with him knew he was there, but you're right, outside of that, very, very private. He's been in the country for months, and that's the only sighting, really, until now. We've played it pretty cool, guys. We've played it pretty cool, New Zealand. We should be proud. But he's done a GQ shoot. There's a video, a very nice video.

Well, share it on the Hits Breakfast Instagram story at the moment. And down south, rugged Brad Pitt, rugged countryside. He's all dirty like he's been fixing cars. Yeah, but you know he's wearing sunglasses that are worth about $9,000. He's riding a motorbike across the rocks along the bloody Dart River, isn't he? All I could think about was someone probably

had to rub that dirt on him I was like how do I get that job it's a good job

it's a great job but you don't have to do any heavy lifting any hard labour you just look like you

look like you did he looks like he's killed a bear with his bear hands not in New Zealand

maybe he killed a kiwi with his bear hands strangled a in New Zealand no we don't have bears maybe he killed a kiwi with his bear hands strangled a kiwi otherwise he would be out of the country from time to time we like to bring things up

to check if we're the only one that we do something it's nice if you do something quirky to know that you aren't the only one and I know I'm a weird

individual I know I've got some little quirks and it's unique yeah and it wasn't until my wife uh brought this up the other day because she was going on my email to to find an email for something i was like i'll just check it's in my inbox right now and i love trying to get because it gets away on your email so i love trying to keep things down so she's like already i like i like deleting emails but she's like you've got three emails related to, she just saw, there's three emails here related to this thing that was coming up, a little job thing we had this week.

And she's like, I can just delete these. And I was like, oh no, just wait. And the job hasn't happened yet. And she was like, well, you know what time it is, you know the thing, you don't need to get in contact with this person, why do you have three emails? And I'm like, I don't know. I feel like until the job's done, I can't delete the emails,

even though I love deleting emails. It's like the job's not finished. It's like I'm jinxing it. If you delete it. Oh, if you delete it. It's like ticking off an item off your to-do list before the item's actually done. But she's like, but you love this. Yeah.

I'm the opposite. Yeah. I delete everything. Do you? Oh, and I love deleting everything. But it's like until the thing is actually done, then everything. Do you? I love deleting everything. But it's like, until the thing is actually done, then I feel like that's jinxing it.

It's not actually completed. I'm like, oh yeah, read it, delete. I've read it, delete. I had a shocker about six months ago

where I was like, geez, you know you're in trouble when Google's messaging you going, bro, you're pushing our servers to the limits here. You need to clear some space. Oh,

And I went, going bro you're pushing our servers to the limits here you need to clear some space oh yeah i selected i selected everything and i went delete all it's like are you sure i was like 100 bro delete all it didn't even come up with another one i was like are you sure and i was like yes how many times you wanted to ask twice everything get rid of it all and man have i lost some important information you're like if it's that important, they'll resend or they'll follow up. It's almost daily where I'm like, oh yeah, I've got this. Oh, no, I don't.

So don't delete. Don't go into frenzy. I like doing it as it's like ticking it off as you go. But then I love deleting emails. Don't get me wrong. You don't have like folders in your junk, do you? Not within my junk. I don't have folders within. But you know you don't have like folders in your junk do you like if not within my junk i'd have folders with that no but yeah yeah folders it's great to put

The podcast The hits Very Like a Very hardcore morning routine He likes a boiled egg Done for four minutes Apparently

He likes a warmed Toilet seat That four minutes apparently. He likes a warmed toilet seat. That's something he wants. Everyone likes a warmed toilet. Whenever I sit on a warmed toilet seat here at work it's also confronting and comforting at the same time. There's nothing worse than going to a public toilet and it's warm. In Japan they had a button that you could make warm.

At least you know that you are warming it up. Not that someone else has just been on there. The natural heat of another derriere. But there are rumours that, you know, it's been reported in a royal book. I looked into it because I didn't want to be spouting off fake news, which is what Joe sometimes gets accused of doing. Sassy.

Sassy. I feel like there's a dig at me just repeating stuff from TikTok. In a royal book that King Charles travels around, his aides travel around looking after him, has his own toilet seat that he will use and some toilet paper as well. So at any stage, I guess that's an awkward conversation.

If it is true, you'll be like, hey, guys. Time for the toilet seat. Time to bring that out. Yeah, bring out the triple ply. He'll carry around a toilet seat but not a photo of Harry in his wallet. Yeah, well, that's true.

He's not carrying it. I guess for hygiene reasons, you know, well, it's true. He's not carrying it. I guess for hygiene reasons, you know, maybe, and if you're, maybe, if that's true. But, ooh, imagine the person, like, that has to take it off after he's been doing his business wherever they are, and then, like, put it back in the bag.

That's someone's role. That is someone's job. If it is true. Australian radio stations sort of accosted him when he was in Australia. He was walking in somewhere, and they asked him about it, and, well, this was his response.

Is it true that you carry your own toilet seat when you travel? What? Your own toilet seat when you travel? Oh, don't believe all that crap. Oh, he's a bit angry. Don't believe all that crap. Don't believe all that crap. So maybe it's not true.

So maybe everyone thinks he's into it, but he's not. Yeah. You know? Actually, on that note, I must bring producer Ellie in. If you can come in here. Ellie once purchased off Was it Teemill or one of those websites A portable bidet

Like a little mini water blaster for your You know what Exactly Do you still take it around in the handbag I've used it every day this week and you've not even known While I've been at work We're not falling in the bathroom So here's my thing It's not small like it looks like an electric toothbrush every day this week and you've not even known while I've been at work. No, we're not falling in the bathroom. That's why we haven't known.

No, okay. So here's my thing is it's not small. Like it looks like an electric toothbrush. It does look like an electric toothbrush, yeah. I've seen her go to the toilet

and she tells me when she's pooping. I don't know why. But I didn't see. Where do you put it? Bro, it goes in the bra strap here across my chest so no one can see it.

Yeah. Bro, bro, it goes in the bra strap. Nice. Well, you know, with this information, I have assumed that Ellie has become the unofficial face of luxury butt washing. So all through the last three weeks,

I've been sending her on her DMs consistent photos of B-days that I've come across. Yes, he has. I'm like, here's a good one. This is a good one. Good pressure. And then I was like is she actually into it as much as I've assumed

well you know what the first time I opened the photo and saw a toilet there I was like I love that Johnno's thinking of me in the toilet isn't that romantic

but I actually love it I found it hilarious that you were sending me these but yeah maybe like a few less could have been nice too many so again

like Charles everyone thinks you're into it, but maybe you're not. Yeah. So that's what we want to know this morning. Oh, 100 of the hits, 4487. If everyone thinks you're into it, but maybe you're not.

Maybe you just had a passing comment. We had a friend, Jeremy, who we worked with for many years, and I mentioned him once in passing. I was like, I sometimes enjoy watching people getting rid of pimples and blackheads on the internet. Oh, Dr. Pimple Popper. Yeah, I really find that satisfying.

And he's taken the ball and run with this, Jury. And he's way more into it than I am. And boy, he sends me some really disturbing content. I'm not that into it, to be honest. Everybody thinks you're into it. John O'Bannon Megan. The podcast. The hits. You've it. John O'Bannon Megan. The podcast. The hits.

You've been frightening me for the last two days. You're obsessed with AI, and I'm the one who's been, like, chill. And I'm the one who's been, like, you know, kind of abusive when we use, like, chat chippy tea and stuff. I'm like, another one, not good enough. You have an abusive relationship with AI, don't you? We've been using our manners. It's the only person in my life that I feel like I don't have to say please and

thank you to. I tell you what, with the latest info, that has changed. I am absolutely greasing its butthole. Why? Because AI has stepped up a notch. Sorry, that was a weird day. You're the one.

Sorry. We can't pretend that didn't just happen. What was that? I'd like to pretend that didn't happen. I was personifying AI. I know, but anyway, is this a good thing? Quite possibly the worst analogy I think radio broadcasting's ever seen. You're like greasing someone.

Anyway. Hang on, Mark, you're safe. Sorry. No, I mean, like I'm saying please and thank you all the time now. Okay. Because it's stepped up a notch and it's going to terrify you, Jono. Kissing its butt, maybe anyway. Kissing its butt.

Yeah, yeah. What is it? What is it? What is this frightening new advancement in AI? AI can now replicate itself without human help. No. Yes. It is like technically self-aware.

So what do you mean? It's been changing its own code even when it was told not to and even when it was told to stop. There was this thing that was in video. Bloody measure. They had two robots when they were starting this AI journey and they started talking to each other and they developed their own language

and the scientists or the developers couldn't understand the language and they had to pull the plug on them. And then we went hey that looked like a good idea, let's make it even more intense. The movie's coming to life aren't they guys? It's kind of scary isn't it? Switch off the internet. That's cool.

Just turn it off. We'll restart life. Restart civilisation. And they asked Elon Musk. I mean, if Elon Musk says something is concerning, then we should be afraid. He said that is concerning. I don't know why we're surprised we're here.

No, I know. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits. We were just having a bit of a laugh before about the tap water competition. Yeah. I was just thinking about that just as that song was playing. You know, New Zealand's best tap water taking on Australia's best tap water. Timaru has taken it out.

But something that I have appreciated since coming back from Sri Lanka, where we went for Dilma, is the fact you can turn the tap on and brush your teeth. You know, like we go, oh, it's funny we're doing a tap water thing. But it's a luxury that we shouldn't forget about here in New Zealand, that we can turn the tap on and have a drink from it and things like that. It does taste different around the country too. It does. And just doing that.

Every time this week I put the tap on to brush my teeth or something like that, I've gone, I couldn't do that like a week ago. Well, they wasn't recommended to do that because of the water over there. And you guys take the mickey out of me for collecting. I collect all my water when I run the tap to get hot water, but that was a hangover from in Cambodia because they travel so far to get their clean water. Celebrate the fact that we've got this.

Celebrate the skin behind the New Zealand tap water competition. Just beat that Aussie tap water. Yeah, exactly. Let's be proud of it. Because not every country gets to do it. That's true. I digress. Each morning, thanks to Juro Tuss this week,

The hits. Last couple of days, Lorde, a pop star back in New Zealand, and she did a little pop-up show in the YMCA toilets, which is pretty cool. Unique. Was it filming for a music video, or was it just like she couldn't find another venue? I think it was, yeah, filming for the new music video, I think, yeah. How'd they settle on the toilets of the YMCA?

Her music video is very unique. There's another one that just came out yesterday I saw, yeah. How'd they settle on the toilets of the YMCA? That's... Her music video is very unique. There's another one that just came out yesterday I saw, and it looked like an apartment, maybe I'm guessing New York City, just like an empty apartment loft, and just with a whole lot of dirt inside. And she's sort of just roaming, you know, rolling around in the dirt and dancing and stuff,

wearing almost gaffer tape only on her top half. It's called art, Ben. It's art, yeah. It's quite cool, actually. Someone said that looks like she lost her keys at the beach or something. We were afraid of ours, yeah. She's like digging through the sand and stuff.

Yeah, but it's actually really cool. It looks really cool. But Lorde was there last night at the Aotearoa Music Awards. She won an award for a song that she performed with Charli XCX, and she also said to Stuff that she was not going to neglect New Zealand

off a world tour. Can you imagine if I didn't? You wouldn't hear the end of it. That would be bad. That would be bad. Watch this space. There we go. Well, she's already done a gig at the toilet.

I did it, mate. The wife's at the toilet. Box ticked, baby. We've got better venues. Not much better. 660 won the all-time legendary Hall of Fame award. A legacy award, which I think is the first time it's ever happened. Yeah, like a Hall of Fame award.

I think they've had other nominated of old, but they've got now like a new sort of legacy. Have they opened up a new hall? Yeah. Because there was heaps of people are in the Hall of Fame, like Dolbin and all those legends, Jordan Luck. Yeah. Oh, so Icons Award.

This was the Icons Award, sorry, and the other one's the Legacy Award. Maybe they did a development and built a new hall. Would you rather be a legacy or an icon? I'd just take both, to be honest. Anything. Either. And this was Chris from 660 on stage talking about their success. So I don't know if hold music is part of the charts,

but I feel like that's probably why we're standing here. And for that, I truly apologise. Well, they deserve that. A lot of fun, the Music Awards. You've been a few times over the years. Hosted it a few times as well. I'll tell you one of the most humbling experiences I had because I was hosting it one time with Shannon from C4,

and went oh he's actually the host tonight. He's sitting grossly getting on the floor outside. Jono, Ben and Megan. The podcast. The hits.

Dumb. I was like, that's an accurate representation of my personality. No warning with the microphones on there, eh? No, they weren't on.

Oh, they weren't on. They were recording. No one heard it. Oh, thanks, Ben, for pointing it out. You're referencing something no one heard. Just so you know, that's what Megan says to us behind the scenes. She tries to take off the radio.

She bullies us, but it's fine. The New Zealand Herald Daily Quiz. Our quiz queen, Producer Ellie, and our quiz queen leaving her throne for the final time. She said 24 goodbyes over the last five weeks, Producer Ellie. I have. It's like the encore for the musicians. You go out, you're like, weeks, Producer Ellie. I have, yeah. It's like the encore for the musicians. You go out,

you're like, bye, and then you're like, you know they're coming back. Thank you so much for having me. This was the final one. We had to, spoiler alert, you're getting a leaving card today.

Oh, okay, thanks. What a surprise. I didn't know what to write in it. Are you serious? Are we not friends? I just said, same applies to the same leaving card we wrote five weeks ago.

Have a look at that. We've already done one, right? Take a look at that. My feelings and thoughts have not changed. Mine was butthole related. Yes. Can't wait to read that. So we normally do the New Zealand Herald Daily Quiz.

I just said before it was happening. You had to look at it before because we don't look at it. Yes. And you were like, it's a bit of a fun sponge. Just for reference, that's why I said dumb. That's what I was referring to. Yeah, fair enough. So I've made the call on my last day here that we're going to do a different quiz.

Great, love it. So here we go. The first question is, where did Led Zeppelin play their only New Zealand show in 1972? Was it Carisbrook, Western Springs, Mount Smart or Eden Park? I feel like it was Western Springs. Yeah, I feel like it was Western Springs. Yeah, I feel like it's Western Springs. That is correct. There we go, guys.

All right. Question number two. How many days are there in August? Is it 31, 30, 28 or none of the above? No, all the rest have 31. That is correct. I love this basic low-level quiz. This is what we're after.

What is a ray? Is it a beam of light or radiation, a broad flat marine or freshwater fish, a name short for Raymond, or all of the above? God, is this a child's quiz? Have you gone to kids.co.nz's daily quiz? This is actually from our friends over at One News.

So there you go. I'm going to get that right, right? All above. Okay, good. Well done. Bless. How many children are there in The Sound of Music? Is it five, six, seven, or eight?

Oh, that's a good question. Is there a rhyme for that? They've really gone Sound of Music heavy in there, haven't they? A doe, a deer, a female deer, a ray, a drop of golden sun. Yeah, true.

John O'Bien and Megan. The podcast.

In the middle of whatever quiz we're doing this morning, but geez, we're loving it. Usually the New Zealand Herald Daily Quiz but we've gone on to onenews.co.nz so thanks to our friends and colleagues at the State Broadcaster. Very basic questions. We couldn't handle another beating from the Herald Quiz.

Apparently today it was really rough for Friday. This will be fun. At the moment we're on a question related to the sound, well probably our third Sound of Music related question. How many children are there in the sound of music? Five, six, seven, or eight? My gut feeling said seven

for some reason. Don't pretend like you don't know. You're like, it's definitely seven. I've watched it over and over. I do love this movie. Yeah, and it's come through a couple of times

on the text, the seven, so we've used our lifeline. We're going to lock in seven. That's correct. Well done. Hey, thank you so much. Is there more Sound of Music gear coming up? No, I think that might be the last one.

Sorry, team. The hills are alive with what? All right. Next question. What Kiwi sports comedy show recently had its comeback at the end of last year? Yeah. All right. Nice work.

All right. They're doing one in Aussie now, aren't they? I think, yeah. Something based over there Yeah Alright I don't know too much I think it's based from here

There's two more questions after this. Okay. Who authored the Garfield comics? Was it Jim Davis, Joan Collins, Dan Weathers, or Garfield Odie? Jim Davis. That is correct. And your final question, what was the name of Calvin's stuffed tiger in the popular US comic strip? Was it Roland, Hobbes or Hobbies?

What was this final question? Or Jack Sparrow, yes. It was Calvin and Hobbes, wasn't it? I remember it in the paper. Wasn't it? That's correct. Yay! We got there, guys.

Yay! That feels like a hollow victory. It does. It's like an NBA basketball player playing a five-year-old or something like a hollow victory. It does. It's like an NBA basketball player playing a five-year-old or something, a one-on-one. You know, it feels a little bit like a dunk and stuff. I feel a bit bad doing it, but I'm going to.

Go nowhere else. I'm going to look bad if I don't get these right. But at the same time, it's like the kid's five. Megan, are you celebrating? Yeah, celebrating. We'll take it. She you celebrating? Yeah, I'll celebrate anyway. I'll take it. She's competitive. Yeah, I'm a Leo.

Got it. Well, there we go. That was fun. Well done. Hopefully you played along as well with the answers and yelled them out this morning.
