The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Cheers to Dilma, making the world a better tea. Welcome to the podcast on a Friday heading into the weekend where we have to deal with some of the fallout from the Hits Santa Parade float. Who would have thought something that was bringing joy to the masses could bring so much debate behind the scenes. Yeah, well we've got to resolve on that on the podcast, you'll hear about that. And Producer Grace at the moment can't really go to migraine.

Now I just wanted to bring this up quickly. I've put her in touch with, I've given her contact details. I'm an acupuncture person. I go and see. It's like, great stuff for migraines, but acupuncture can be. And I was like, what happened?

Did you contact her? And she's like, no, she doesn't have a website. And I don't like calling people. Do you not like calling people either? Like, I will if I have to. Like yeah i'd rather call someone than have someone call me do you know like i'd rather be like yeah rather than oh god who's this what's this gonna be what have i done what do they want from me leading the charge i'm that person that's the same i can call people easier than i can take a phone call. Because I said to her, I was just saying, I'll call for her,

because I'm in a bit of a calling error. But you're right, because I'm calling and I know why I'm calling them, I can do that for her. But even from Grace's angle, you just need to go, hey, I'd like to make an appointment, 9.30 Tuesday. That's the only conversation that needs to take place. I know, but some people just find it scary. What have we done to the world?

What have we done to the world what have we done to the world that we can't even be bothered calling yeah that's right but nowadays it's hard to call people though you go we talked about this before you go to a website

you're like where's the number sometimes you just want a number you go to contact us and you're like this isn't going to have a phone number or an address you're like where do you reside

and then you get it there and there's that clear box and it's like send us something send us something there I hate that more than calling and then you get a little bounce back email going thank you box. And it's like, send us something. Send us something there. I hate that more than calling. And then you get a little bounce back email going, thank you. We've received your email.

We'll get back to you within 48 hours. You're like, oh, great. Well, right now I need something sorted. So yeah, that's the world we're living in. Do you know how good mine yesterday is? They stuffed up my online grocery order. But they didn't give me something. So I was like, how do I deal with this?

And I went to the order. You click on a thing. And you talk to a bot. Oh, the bot. The bot's quite handy. You talk to the bot. And then I was like, leave it with me. And I went to the order you click on a thing and you talk to a bot oh the bot's quite handy you talk to the bot and then I was like leave it with me

and then I got an email saying it's all sorted the money should go back into your bank account I was like I don't have to talk to anyone the bot sorts the issues yeah a little chatbot

Olive the chatbot Olive the chatbot Olive Olive before dealt with my issue no troubles great you just put it in what's the number

does that look right you're like yeah Olive great buy yourself something nice Oliver's probably the most loyal and consistent employee that

company's got exactly and we should be worried well enjoy the podcast and if you've got a party trick

you'll hear more on party tricks in the podcast let us know we'd love to hear from you getting into the weekend

the Farmers Santa Parade it's the 33rd one this week no it's not sorry it's the 91st one this weekend

it was the 33rd week that's where No, sorry, it's the 91st one this weekend. Oh, it's a big difference. It was the 33rd week. That's where I got that fact from. So many great milestones. And we're celebrating. Well, we were going to be celebrating this weekend at the Farmers Centre Parade, playing a song on the float, going around for a couple of hours until we found out that the song, the hits they decided to play,

was our song that we're trying to avoid in the Christmas game. Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas. Now, some are labelling it mismanagement. Some are labelling malice behaviour. Emails back and forth. I shan't enable any of those things. PC gone mad is all I'm going to say. Woke culture.

Someone's throwing that out there. I even brought the hickory into it yesterday, which is making everyone nervous. No, don't do that. You know that our boss is on hold right now. Can he hear you? He can hear us. I just love wanting to go,

because I'm out of the game, so I don't have any skin in the game. I'm just loving the drama and the four days of wonderful radio content we've had out of this. Yeah, well, our problem was, not only does it eliminate us from the game, but eliminates anyone else that is playing the game.

You know, we're the people actively eliminating people from the game. It's fine if you opt into the Santa Parade and you get eliminated elsewhere, but not by us. We can't eliminate you. Now, this is what happened yesterday. We spoke to Matt, our boss. Going to the Santa Parade on Sunday and expecting not to hear Mariah Carey is like someone fasting, wandering into a buffet.

It's not going to end well. The possibility we want. You're just putting the song on the float, wandering into a buffet. It's not going to end well. The possibility we won't. You're just putting the song on the float blows us all out, definitely. Again, as I say, this has taken up an absolutely inordinate amount of time. Well then fix it.

Demands of fix it. There you go. There's been mudslinging, espionage, treason, terrorism, you name it. It's adultery. It's all been part of this campaign. Is it? None of that has really, to be honest. Matt, I'm just bringing up the drama.

And our boss, Matt, joins us back 24 hours later. It's lovely to have you back on the show, Matt Anderson. Oh, it's lovely to be back. I enjoy starting a Friday morning with claims of mismanagement. I didn't say that. No, no, Jono said everything. I'm just stirring the pot from the sidelines. Jono talking about himself in the third person again.

Now, yesterday we heard that your calendar was going to be cleared and you were going to solve this issue. We had pitched maybe playing a different song. Over to you, Matt Anderson. Yeah, so it's been a big 24 hours. I mean, you could probably call what has resulted as some kind of task force of trying to resolve. Whoa.

What, did you name the task force? No, we didn't have time. We were busy counting BPMs on different songs. Because the problem also was the dancers had learned a routine to the song, and so changing that at the last minute puts them out of step. Yeah, so look, we've taken the feedback on board. As I said, it was a – look, I still think you guys are walking into the Lions' den on Sunday.

Yeah, that's fine, but I don't expect a Lion to be on the float with us, you know? Anyway. Again, the feedback has been duly noted. And for all of you to be able to sleep soundly for the next couple of nights before the event on Sunday, I can confirm that there has been a late change to the song. Oh, okay.

Oh, my God, is it Ben's version? No, please, dear God, no. I can promise you very early in the meeting, Ben's version was rolled out. Thank you, thank you. From me, thank you. From the person singing that, thank you. From New Zealand, thank you. Thank you. From me, thank you. From the person singing that, thank you. From New Zealand, thank you.

So what song are we going with? So on Sunday, I mean the dancers are going to be working through the night for the next couple of days to make sure that they can be in sync. You guys are going to enjoy a good couple of hours of hearing Brucey Springsteen sing about a big guy coming to town.

That is a wonderful version. Now! Santa Claus is coming to town. That is a wonderful version. Now, I'll just find it in the... It's a good song. That's great. That's great. I'm happy with this. Oh, it's a great result.

It's a great result for New Zealand. So, thank you, Matt. I just want to point out, Mariah Carey's is 150 beats per minute. This is 147. Megan, just take the win, mate. Take the win. Oh, my gosh. Take the win, Megan.

The dancers are going to be up all night. Don't change another song on the dancers. Jeez. All right. Well, I was going to say, you don't want to know how much drama those three BPMs. Now, Matt Anderson, also, since we've got the boss on air, it would feel appropriate to play Bruce Springsteen's Santa Claus is Coming to Town. Well, you know what? It'll give the dancers an extra practice.

What I love at the start of the song is the banter between Bruce and the band. Is that y'all being good? And there's even a huh? They haven't quite nailed the banter, but it's a great song. We'll hear it multiple times this weekend. Listen, I'm going to enter you in Kiwi Bank New Zealander of the Year in the Best Manager category there, Matt Anderson. Well done on closing this loop, as they say, and fixing the issue.

The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. You'll be with us this morning as we head into another weekend. And, Ben, you noticed something on the Sosh that is blowing up, going viral, as they say, from economist Brad Olsen, friend of the show. Yeah. And friend of us personally as well. Yeah. What, do you want to borrow something from him?

Do you want him to pick you up from the airport or anything like that? Brad, I know you're an economist. Can I borrow a couple of bucks there, mate? Look, I'd probably rather not. Out of the economy at the moment. Yeah. Firstly, before we get into the big issues, what you put on social media, how's the economy looking?

Sweeping generalisation of the question. In three words, in three words, how's the economy? Tough, but looking up, can I have four? Yeah, looking up. Survived to 25, I hear a lot of that. Is that actually a good thing to be doing right now? Yeah, look, it's pretty normal. I mean, going across the country, spending activity, jobs,

they're not great at the moment. But, of course, interest rates are falling. So, you know, give it six to nine months, a lot of households are going to refix onto lower mortgage rates. They'll have a bit more money. Things will look up probably from about mid-next year, but still a lot of tough conditions out there for people. Now you're combining my two loves, economics,

and one-and-a- a half star food rating snacks. Because you veered off into what is the favourite flavour of the Arnott Shapes? And it's blowing up. It did. I mean, it got huge. I've been talking to friends recently. I was out with some friends in Auckland a couple of weeks ago. We were going shopping.

You know, you get to the snack aisle, and there was a little bit of a friendship bust-up over what we were going to put in the trolley. I was right, of course. My friend was wrong, or so I thought. And then about a week later, I talked to another friend about, you know, shapes, just thinking it was a normal conversation. And again, you know, completely different views.

And I thought, well, again, am I wrong or are my friends wrong? Now, I'd normally like to back myself, but I thought I should put it out to the people. So I did a poll on Instagram and honestly, a lot of different views there. I mean, what are all three of your favorites there? Well, it's hard because there's the classics and there's the new ones. So classics, I'm a cheese and bacon girl, I think. Oh, are you? Yeah.

See, I would have gone OG barbecue, not the new healthy barbecue they tried to push on us. Barbecue's good. I'm creepy chicken. I knew you'd be a creepy chicken. No way. What's wrong with that? Now, you had to run two poles, Brad.

I saw you ran your first pole, and then you had to run like a side pole as well because people were annoyed that you didn't actually have their options. Well, this is the thing. People get very, very hot under the collar about their shapes, and so you're right. I put up that the first poll had, like you say, the OGs,

barbecue, pizza, chicken, crimpy, and cheese and bacon. And then I had a few people message and be like, have you tried nacho cheese? You don't know what you're missing out on in life. And I sort of thought, oh, okay. So I put on another one that I think had cheddar, the sort of like Vegemite one, nacho cheese, and then I was like, no, actually the OG is the best.

And to be fair, that second poll, it was for like five friends that I didn't really want to lose my entire friendship with, but I was like, I think you're wrong, and the polls sort of showed it because those OGs very, very much what people were looking at. But the results did surprise. So the likes of Chicken Crumpy was the winner. 34% of people coming through.

Pizza at second 26%. Cheese and Bacon third at 21% and BBQ down at 18% which tells me that I was right but only a very small number of my friends are also right with me because I'm a big barbecue fan. Barbecue? I wouldn't have been...

Barbecue is... I would have switched that poll completely around. Yeah. Barbecue and cheese and bacon. Matt Anderson, our boss, said his kid's in love with Chicken Crumpy. He feels like it's eating jib board. Aye, Chicken Crumpy's the best. Chicken Crumpy is such a vanilla choice. It's not vanilla at all.

Can I chuck something out here? We did a wonderful campaign with Arnott Shapes in the studio, and they introduced a whole new flavour range. Now, my new favourite, I still love barbecue, but then I'll bounce off into sweet chilli. So it's the fully loaded range, and the sweet chilli is to die for. Have you tried that, Brad? You need to do a poll on the fully loaded range.

Yeah, well, look, it's now on the menu, but I think the thing here is that the OGs, they're sort of just like chips. You just eat them and, you know, they're just a good snack. I feel like the fully loaded range, you know, you need like a dip or something with them. It's sort of a bougier option, which is quite nice on a Saturday afternoon, you know,

sitting down with a drink out in the sun on the deck or something. So I'll consider it. I'll take it back to the polling machine. I didn't realise that my social media was now going to become sort of, you know, a bit of a sense check on the nation. It's national news, Brad. We appreciate it. All right.

The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. We want to know the best flavour of shapes this morning. Yeah, I know there's bigger issues in the world right now, but this is the one we're going to solve first. Yeah. Okay. Our one has a little bit more weight because it came from a respected economist.

Exactly. Exactly. Okay, this isn't just filler radio banter. Can I just say, we're going to go slightly rogue and everyone that gets on the air this morning will go in the draw for the Wicked Holiday to the Gold Coast thanks to the new movie Wicked

because it's the final day today it's given away with Matty and PJ. Okay, so favourite flavour. Now, we've all divided, Ben. You're a Chicken Crumpy fan. I'm accused of being a basic B by Megan. That is the... You hit it on the head.

That is the ready salted flavor of shake. But it's not ready salted. It's got a flavor to it. It's the basic. It's the flavor that needs a dip. But saying it's like, no, it doesn't. It does. A ready salted, I agree with you, is bland and it needs something else.

But not chicken crimpy. All the flavors are great. You just have your favorite. Don't you? I don't want to say it was great. I judge someone who has chicken crimpy You like cheese and bacon Cheese and bacon

Even cheddar Cheese and bacon's coming through Definitely chicken crimpy's coming through A lot of times as well Now Brad Olsen The economist who we just spoke to He launched this on his social media Chicken crimpy won

And cheese and bacon second And barbecue shakes Which I would have thought Would have been romping in at number one Is way down the list Number four or five Pizza was second too by the way Oh pizza sorry And barbecue shapes, which I would have thought would have been romping in at number one, is way down the list, number four or five. Pizza was second too, by the way. Oh, pizza, sorry.

So 800 of the hits. Let's open this up. The worst thing is you can't, every time I open a packet of Arnott shapes, you can't stop. Worse than Pringles. Yeah, you can't stop. That should be their catchphrase. And then you sit there in silence afterwards and you're like, all right, time to get my life back on track.

Reset. And then you look at the serving size and it's like... Let's get Diane on. How are you? I'm good, thank you, and you? Yeah, are you agreeing with the poll, Diane? Should Chicken Krimpy be the king of the castle, the king of this wonderful food pyramid that is the Arnott Shapes range? Definitely.

It's always been a favourite in our house. Would you say, I would not say it's a ready salted of the Shapes range. Well no, because it's her favourite. But it's got flavours. Ready salted's got no flavours. Do you have it with a dip? No. No, just on its own. You're going to call Diane a basic bee?

What sort of dip do you put with Shapes? I don't know. Anything. Like bursting with flavour. Yeah, exactly. It's really sold it, absolutely. And they say flavour you can see. I can't see the chicken flavour

on that one. It's got a great flavour. Let's get Emma on. Morning. Chicken crimpy, you chicken crimpy fan, Emma? Heck no. Cheese and bacon.

Yes, Emma. That's you with Megan on that one. Flavour you can see, the bacon bits. Flavour you can see. Do you demand to see the flavour, do you? No, that's their catchphrase.

Oh, that's the claim. Right, so they've got to live up to the claim. Sophia, what are you coming in with? Chicken crimps? Definitely not. No, it has to be cheese and bacon all the way. Now that cheese and bacon are coming through as well. Everyone in the draw for that wicked holiday too

that gets on the air this morning. Why is it barbecue? I thought barbecue was so popular. I think they discontinued barbecue for a little bit. No, we were with them when they did that. They're like, hey, guys, we want to make a healthier version of it. So they put the healthy one out, and boy, did they get some backlash. It was nasty.

It was. It was fine, but I think people just had their favorites. They're like, where's my favorite one? We'd post any video unrelated to shapes, and just because they were sponsoring a show on our Facebook, and then all the comments would be like, bring back the original barbecue. It had nothing to do with the... Very passionate.

They're like, all right, we'll bring it back. Justine, morning. How are you, Justine? Have I hit Lisa? Sorry, Lisa, what do you want? Cheese and bacon. Yes, Lisa. It feels like cheese and bacon and chicken crimpy are the two.

I'm biting it out. It's like me and Ben are going to get into a punch-up. This reminds me of the US election. I feel like cheese and bacon are running away with it here. You're all like an independent party. Chicken crimpy would be Trump. Yeah. I'm not that good, Emma.

He would love a chicken crimpy, everything. Don't put that in there. Don't. No. So where are we at? We're at three apiece at the moment, aren't we? Well, there's so many calls coming through. Justine.

Hi. What are you voting for? Chicken crimpy. There we go. No, we're three apiece now. Oh, she's so competitive too. You're competitive. We need to wrap this up before Twinkie.

You've got the win, Megan. There we go. Just to wrap this up. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Good morning. Heading into the weekend which is pretty exciting you just sound like

you've swallowed gravel what's going on with this husky tone a little bit husky I hosted a wee thing for Playstation last night the Sky Tower

was actually really cool but it was non-stop me talking in the rain for parts for about 3 or 4 hours just me talking what were you covering off all sorts

just banter talking talking to people. You know, it was fun. Is that why the Sky Tower is blue and white? Yeah, they had this thing. So basically like a, well, we said, I said it first, strong man game, but it's a strong person game. It's 2024, guys.

Yeah. Everyone's strong. You know, you'd go to a carnival and you'd have a hammer and you'd hit the little pad and then it would go, the thing would go up and how hard you hit it was how hard the thing would go up. Well, they managed to do one with a pad that would basically show you how strong you were on the Sky Tower. So it would go all the way with these lasers. Amazing sort of technology.

I don't know how they did it. Up on the Sky Tower. So people would hit a pad and it would go up on, right up the top. You could see it all around Auckland. It was actually a really, really cool thing that PlayStation did. So it was like three or four hours of doing that, which is great. I was chatting away to people. And at the end, it was probably about 11.30, all wrapped up.

It was a really fun night. But then I was like, all right, I'll see you guys later. Better go, you know, because we've got an early start. And they were like, you haven't had a go. And I was like, oh, thank you. I mean, it's so lovely that they wanted me to have a go because it's one night only. And I was like, oh, it's okay. And they were like, no, you need to have a go. I was like, okay, you know, I'll have a go and i was like oh thank you i mean it's so lovely that they wanted me to have a go because it's one night only and i was like oh it's okay and they're like no you need to have a go i'm like okay you know i'll have a go it's a few people around no no i need to go i need to go it was so lovely and i mean you know there's some people so 100 was the maximum score and there

was some people one legend with and 100 didn't happen very often one legend with one he had a broken arm this guy he must be like 20 years old he had broken arms he just did it one-handed and he got a hundred that was only probably a handful of people over three or four hours that got a hundred i was like oh my god so big dudes getting you know weren't getting a hundred but he got a hundred and that was impressive that i was like well to be honest i'm look at me i'm not gonna go that great but i'll give it a go you got two arms yeah so i had to go and i got like 30 something and i was like okay and everyone's like hey you know i'm still pretty can i go now and then the guy who had organized it was like hang on a second hang on a second then he got the laptop out and

he was doing some stuff he's just wait there he turned it up and he was like have another go have another go ben and i was like oh and i was like what have you done have you put it on easy mode and he sort of gave me a little wink and a little nod. So he changed it from everyone was doing. So yeah, I was like, okay, here we go. All right, this will be my moment. Stepped up, 62. And he was like, oh, that was easy mode.

He's like, I can't do much more for you, mate. He's like, I can't. I can't do any more for you. But I'm pulling it up there myself. And I'm like, you know, the biggest hit that I've ever done. I'm like, yeah, well, there you go, guys. That was on the easy mode. And you should have gone, well, my mouth's tired.

I've done a lot of talking. Yeah. So, yeah, me, strength's not my forte. And my voice's not my forte. I always get nervous around those. You know, they've got the arcade, they've got the punching bags. Oh, yeah. Yeah, never like doing those.

Yeah. Because you feel like you're on display because everyone's like, oh, someone's lining up for a punch. I know. You really go in public with that performance. And everyone can see if you put in a lot of effort and it doesn't pay off.

It doesn't quite work out. And you don't want to put in too much effort. Yeah. But at the same time, you do. Show me cool. Very fine line. Someone was saying for that one, the punching bag,

it's about the angle of where you hit it and how it hits up or something. There's some sort of technique behind it. But I'll never know because I'm never going to put myself in that position. I probably will and probably do very badly at it. He didn't even hit the tip. The bag's just dangling there. It came back at him in the face and knocked him out.

It was weird. Like one tonsil. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. A friend of mine, I caught up with him the other day, and he was like, am I okay to feel a bit annoyed by this situation? Just a little bit. He's got really good friends with someone he works with, and for like two years he'd been talking to him a lot

about this group of dads. It's a really cool thing. They meet up like once a month and they have dad bears. So all the dads get together, and he was never allowed to go because he's not a dad. He's like, like okay that's fine but hear about the dad bears and then we go on you know he's and and now he's had a kid and he's got a kid and he gets to go along to the dad bees you're like great i've been waiting two

years for this so when he's you know if he did come without a child is it can he is he allowed just beers without the word dad before it they were like no it's dad beers this is what we do the dads a group of dads catch you won't understand yeah And so he'd be like, hearing about this thing, finally had a kid after two years hearing about it. He's like, great. Not the reason he had a kid,

but one of the benefits. Good motivation. He can get to go with dad beers. And then he was like, another guy brought along, another guy, let's say his name's Mike. I don't know his name.

So they brought along Mike the other day and he's like, oh, so how old are your kids? And Mike's like, oh, I don't have any kids.

And then he was like, well, hang on. And everyone was like, well, Mike's a good guy? And Mike's like, oh, I don't have any kids. And he was like, well, hang on. And everyone was like, well, Mike's a good guy. Like Mike's a – We just want him here for morale. Absolutely he's allowed to be pissed. Because he said to the other dads, he's like, hey, Mike,

doesn't he have any kids? And they're like, yeah, we know, but he's a charismatic, fun guy. Why? We want him at the dad bed. So am I. He's got every right to be annoyed. He waited two years for that, and that was the reason they gave him. That's what I thought, too.

He's like, I had to find a partner, and I had to convince them that I wanted to make a baby with them. It's a big play. Nine months. Big play just for dad bears, right? Why did the rules apply to him and not this other guy? That's what I thought as well. I agree with you, but he asked me, and I was like, yeah, I feel like in this situation. He's like, to be honest, Micah,ah or whoever his name is Micah's a great guy

he deserves to be there and then you feel like a jerk trying to like kick Micah out sorry Micah you can't come to the dad news everyone's like oh he lost her

we love Micah so you're probably right it's probably just going to be beers now the hits the Jono and Ben podcast we're doing our Santa picture this weekend

the famous Smith and Coe's which they're not doing I think this is the last one this is the last one it's, this is the last one. It's pretty awesome, actually, if you get a chance to do it. They do a whole grotto and stuff,

but they have kind of said this is the last one, and it's fully booked out, and it has been for ages. You might get one or two spaces, but I booked this literally, I think, months ago. Can I ask what a grotto is? Because how can we have Santa's grotto and also the Playboy Mansion grotto?

I know. What a grotto doesn't sound great, What is a grotto? I don't know what the definition is because there's two very different ends of the spectrum. So you go up into like a winter wonderland and you walk through this whole area and it's beautiful. Artificial cave.

Oh, okay. Thank you. That's exactly what it is. There's a winter wonderland, there's like a forest of trees and then you go and meet Santa. And we've done it every year since my son was born. So I think this is our fourth.

Lovely. Wonderful tradition. Yeah. And they do it. It is a magical wonderland, isn't it, when you meet Santa? Even, you know, going to the mall. I saw people at the mall yesterday getting this. And the kids love it.

I went and had a photo on the knee. Love it. Love it. But I've got a lot of Christmas traditions and as the kids are getting like now I've got two kids and they're getting older the traditions are becoming hard because it's just more admin but one thing we've

done you're going to cringe every time we get a Santa photo yeah because you were like the Santa photo you're going to cringe we're like well so far not cringing enjoying it we've both done it yeah all of us we're matching outfits you know him and outfits he would be into that true Enjoying it. We've both done it. All of us, we're matching outfits. You know him and outfits. He would be into that.

My family would cringe, but I'd be like, come on, guys. So I was like, oh, it's tomorrow, and we haven't figured out our outfits. And I'm like, okay, what are we going to go with? Are you going all out? Are we talking like Peter Alexander pajamas and things like that? No, we'll probably just go with the color theme. So we'll all wear the same colour. You could go, you can push it further, I'm saying. He pushes it further with novelty jerseys from Timo and stuff.

I turned up once with a Christmas tree outfit next to Santa. That's for the co-ies. And I got my photo, and my family just went like, you just get the photo, bro. And I'm like, okay, sweet. Did you walk through town as a Christmas tree? I did, to be fair, I did until I got there. I put it on.

But then I was like, can I get one? And my family was like, you're on your own for this one. But me and Santa got one. And then I got a family photo without the Christmas tree on. So you thought Santa's face couldn't get any redder. Sorry, but yeah. So that's the benchmark, Megan. Okay, so yeah, it's not quite as bad as that.

But I messaged him and my husband. He's like, oh, do you think we have to? I'm like, absolutely. He doesn't want to go matching. He's just like, it's a lot of admin, it's tomorrow, we can just wear whatever.

I'm like, no, no. We're going white or blue or one year we did denim. We all went in denim. The problem is,

it's fine in that split second of the photo, you get the funny photo but then you've got to get the car part, you've got to walk. I didn't say it was funny. Oh, sorry.

Sorry. She's not trying to make it funny, not like me. I know, and then your kid doesn't want to wear it and you're like holding them down, trying to put the jacket on. Got on your double denim. It's this year's theme. It's like the Met Gala. Why is it Christmas? Why is it double denim? The hits. The Jono and Ben

podcast. Hey, now the song, Mariah Carey, that we're trying to avoid, you guys are playing as well. Some of you are out of the game. Some of you are still in the game. When you hear All I Want for Christmas, you're out of our Christmas game. There was high drama about the Santa Parade float.

It was going to be our song for two hours. We've now got a resolution on that. Yeah, we do. We spoke to Matt, our boss, just an hour ago, and he's agreed to change the song on the float. There was a bit of a hesitation because the dancing community had learnt their routine, their steps to All I Want for Christmas, and they've figured out that the dancers can stay awake for 48 hours

and learn a new dance to this song. So switch that out. That problem's solved. So one problem's solved, but another problem has reared its ugly Christmas head. Yesterday on the Hits station. Now, the wonderful Hayley Bath hosts the day show here on the Hits. And in a moment of madness, that's all I can describe it as.

A moment of madness. She was talking about Mariah Carey. Risky. Risky to begin with. And we had publicly stated multiple times, this is your safe space. Safe space, you're right. Sweeping generalisation of all shows,

this is, as a station, a safe place. So she's done some wonderful research, thorough research into the annual sales figures and the revenue figures that Mariah receives from that song. Okay, so this is Hayley yesterday after 10. That's fine, it's been censored. Okay, great. I'm out of the game, I've. It's fine, it's been censored. Okay, great. I'm out of the game, I've got no concerns, but it has been censored for you and those that are still in the game.

Have a listen. We have got this one. Then she starts playing the song. No. Relaying the amazing statistics around the song, how much streams it gets, how much revenue it pulls in Mariah. And Hayley, here to explain all. Welcome, Hayley. Oh, I was hoping my phone line would cut out

and that you'd screw up the phones again. I love that she says again. Who are you talking to, me? Jono. Yeah. Well, not in this case, Hayley. I am on fire today with Sabrina Carbon of Bart Simpson Facts. The phones, nothing's gone wrong.

I was thinking I've got 50-50 chance of not having gone up to my mistake here. Yeah, we could have easily hung up on you, but you're on here. What do you want to say? A brain fade? In my defense, I'd had about three hours sleep and it's really hard to fill a six-hour content show by myself. All right.

I know, I know. So you've been there before. Do you, you know about it though because you've been talking about it on your show. Yeah, so what happened is that I had a brain fart and I was talking about how she makes $5 million

just for royalties every Christmas and I paid a snipper and then I realised straight up and it was too late and then the bad thing is a listener texted and she was like, the Hits were supposed to be a safe space. A safe space. A safe haven. Yeah.

I've been trying to like pardon people on the text machine like royalty saying, oh, that doesn't count. Only Mariah herself can pardon from the Christmas game, I think. Even people in the office. Yes. Like, we're all going, oh, we're out now because of Hayley. Larissa, the premier.

It's going so well for you today, too. It was. I hadn't hung up on anyone. Promotions manager. She's out. She's out now. Oh, Hayley. I just, yeah, I'm just, I'm waiting for the email.

I'm waiting for the X to fall on my head too. I'm like, that's my whole broadcasting career. I'm sorry. It wasn't even great to start with. I know. No, you're great. But that's a scandal. That's a scandal that could end your career, I think.

Yeah, that one. It was a perfect break, Hayley, other than the music. I feel like bloody Diddy's lawyer at the moment. We're sweeping away one scandal, another one rears its ugly head. The hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Special season upon us right now. A lot of functions happening around the country. Work functions, things to do with school, friends, all that sort of stuff.

That's a relentless schedule, isn't it, leading into the 25th of December, just every weekend jam packed with stuff lots of stuff why why do we make this period why do we make this like sort of

halfway through November to the 25th of December so stressful for ourselves yeah we put it on ourselves I know we could turn this into a completely chill time

and then we just put on the New Zealand puts on it's out of office for the entire month of December Jan don't we yeah it does this is this busyness is the price we pay for its out of office for the entire month of December, Jan, don't we? This busyness is the price we pay for that out of office. Yeah, maybe it is. The rest of the world will get back to you early Feb.

I know. It's like January is a write-off for anyone. The rest of the world is still moving at 100%. I know. America, a couple of days off. They love Christmas. They like Christmas hard. They have a couple of days off.

They're like, back to it, guys. We're like, no. You want to worry about fitness? You've till february you know what my wheels are falling off my car don't care mate catch you early maybe each will just see how see how long the sun's sunshine lasts uh but i was at a function uh a couple of nights ago and uh i witnessed someone and they had a pack of cards and they i came in late and i was like oh what's going on over there but there was a guy standing there and people crowding around and he was doing a magic trick with a pack of cards and it was a great trick i came into the i missed the start of it came into the end but everyone was

hooping and hollering and they were like this is great and i was like oh he was the life of the party with a party won the room over the palm of his hand they were nibbling oh and i was like i in that moment i was like In that moment I was like I don't have a Everyone talks about a party trick I don't have a party trick I don't have anything

If someone went to me What's your party trick I don't have one What do you do? Can you do anything? I like to bring out It's not a pack of cards or anything But like

When we are out And we get cocktails or whatever You know you get the cherry stalk Oh that's right Oh you can do that It's actually quite good I like to do that at the table I'm like hey guys And, you get the cherry stalk. Oh, that's right. Oh, you can do that? It's actually quite good. I like to do that at the table. I'm like, hey guys,

and I can tie the cherry stalk with my tongue. That is a phenomenal trick. It's actually really good. You put the whole cherry in, obviously with the stalk, tie it up into a little knot. Yeah. Every morning we walk in and I'm like,

Megan, my shoelaces again. She's down there tying up my shoelaces with her tongue. It's an amazing trick. It's actually quite a good trick, but it can only work in some seasons. I mean, cherries are hard to get. We're coming into cherry season. Yeah, you could do that trick. So maybe it's prime time.

You've got actually a whole of January and February as you can put that trick on display for the whole of New Zealand. We're not doing anything else. Yeah. But, yeah, there are people. You know, there's always someone that can do something like an impression or a voice or like some sort of party trick in a party scene. You're like, oh, that's – people that can do backfl an impression or a voice or or like some sort of party trick in a party scene you're like oh that's a back people that could do back flips that's always that's

risky though like as soon as there's bevies involved you're like don't do one now can you do anything jonah no no i had a friend who used to put fireworks in between his butt cheeks and he oh yeah producer ellie producer ellie her dad Oh no I didn't go to school With Producer Ellie's dad As soon as you said fireworks It reminded me of What Producer Ellie's Dad does

He put a skyrocket In there once And ended up Burns Yeah not recommended Not recommended Then he came back The following year

And just put a sparkler In there Which is a little bit Still not recommended Yeah Producer Ellie Your dad What's his name His name is Grant Grant Old Grunty just put a sparkler in there, which is a little bit... Still not recommended. Could you tell your dad... What's his name?

His name is Grant. Old Grunty. I grew up witnessing this as a young child. So it might explain why I'm the way. It does actually explain a lot. Never happened at my household, that's for sure. No, your head definitely get down on the floor at a party, line a fart up, grab his lighter that was close by

and, yeah, just blow his fart up. Did he pull his pants down? Nah, he'd leave his pants. Throw the pants. Yeah, it was flammable. Class.

It was really risky. Sorry, you're right, But he's just set his pants on fire. I know. That's, again, if you're listening to this kids,

none of this is recommended. No, do not. We want a party trick that's safe. Don't follow grunters. It's not going to be a news article. It's not going to burn the place down.

What's your party trick? Because none of us, well Megan's got one that's good for some seasons of the year, but not all seasons of making a cherry stalk into a knot. In my mouth. Honestly, it's very impressive. Once those cherries start

hitting pack and save we'll definitely get you to do it for social media but yeah we've seen you do it before i don't know how do you do it you're obviously maneuvering your tongue so when you first put it in you've got to like loosen it up so it becomes like malleable like i just like massage the stalk and then i don't know you just kind of like you know how to tie a knot so you just do it with your tongue that Yeah, it's very impressive. Push one side of the stalk through a loop. How did you end up there? I think I saw it on a movie.

I often see things and I'm like, I'm going to learn how to do that. Nothing important. I tried to learn how to do a Rubik's Cube. And I did eventually learn how to do it. And I would vary between like, to surprise you, sometimes I would do it like in a minute and a half, which is okay. It's not like what the best in the world

would do it. It's pretty good. And other times it would take me like 10 minutes. It's all algorithms and now I've forgotten it but it's just, yeah. See, that sounds hard.

It's, yeah, you've just got to remember, it's like all about repetition, same things over and over again but that's a cool part. Maybe I could get that back. Yeah, but I mean,

you know, spending 12 minutes at a party watching a guy try to remember how to do a Rubik's Cube. Yeah, but we can do it in 10 seconds in one hand that's a great party we're like hey guys give me 12 minutes and it's cooler when you discover a pack of cards at the party rather than you bring your ruby guys you want to see ruby's cube done really slowly and then sometimes going

oh no hang on i feel like the conversation would sort of veer off and then you'd be like i'm done 12 minutes later they'll be like like, oh, that's right. Old mate was in the corner. I forgot about him. So maybe that's not the one I need to bring around parties. Tiana, morning. Good morning, everybody.

How are we? We're doing well. Lovely to have you on. Your party trick, what do you got? So I'm an early childhood teacher, so naturally everything I do is very animated.

I do animal impersonations. Okay, what have we got? Let's have a buffet of your repertoire. It's like the Lion King. What's your best one? So we've got the, forgive me, the horrific chicken. That's good. I like that.

I knew that was a chicken. Or a rooster. That's good. I like it I knew that was a chicken A rooster? That's good You do the noise first And then we'll try and guess what it is Sheep How about I love the commitment to it Yeah, that is great, Tiana How about... That's good, the monkey.

I love the commitment to it. Yeah, that is great, Tiana. We're going to chuck you in the jaw for Wicked. We appreciate it. They've got some flying monkeys in the movie as well, too. Dan, hit us with your party trick, Dan. Hey, how's it going, guys? I'm quite good at getting rid of liquid.

One of my party tricks was do a handstand while drinking a beer. Oh, that's good. A handstand beer. Yes. Obviously, sometimes I had to do it with one hand, a one-handed handstand. So you're drinking the liquid while on a handstand, so it's going – Are you holding a glass? No, drinking out of a bottle.

Wow. I always appreciate, you know, when you go to a party, and you see those people chugging stuff through different entry points of their body. You're like, how did you end up there? This is not the first time you've done this. Look at someone called Grubby pouring something through his eye socket. He was like, you've got to watch this.

I'm like, I don't need to watch this. Dan, could you do us a favour and film yourself doing that and send it in? Yeah, sounds good. It's unbannable. It's unbannable. It's quite an opportunity. You don't have to, Dan.

I'll leave that one with you. We're talking about party tricks, heading into a whole lot of social engagements over the next coming weeks, heading into Christmas. And we actually thought, well, why don't we actually learn about party tricks heading into a whole lot of social engagements over the next coming weeks heading into christmas and we actually thought well why don't we actually learn a party trick that'd be cool yeah you should text us 4487 you've got something you can teach us uh something that we can do and we can pull out at a party there's a trick needs to be a three-person act oh okay yeah yeah or something that we could adapt we could all do yeah yeah put our own flair

on it jules we're just playing playing you five minutes ago there, Megan. Jules phoned up once. Unrelated topic, but she just said, I can make a car alarm with her mouth. This is her actual mouth making this noise. How was she doing that? That's awesome. She explained it to us afterwards. She sort of makes the noise

And then she sort of chops her throat Adam's apple type situation I can't do it So she's like hacking her throat Yeah Kind of like that But on a grander scale It's like I'm dying

Yeah, so that's pretty impressive That could be our party trick I don't know Claire, good morning What's yours? Morning guys Yeah, so I can actually, I'm double-jointed in my fingers

and my son is also double-jointed in his thumbs, so we do that together. But then my other children can make clovers with their tongues and we can't do that. Oh, yeah. Because some people can roll their tongue once, but some people can roll them like three or four times.

Yeah, but I can't do it. But they can do it, and they look hilarious when they do it. Brilliant. Claire, you're going to have a great day. Really appreciate it. You too. There's a text. There's a text that's just come through.

Okay, now we're talking about producer Ellie's father, who he has the skill of lighting his flatulence on fire. Right. Yes. I'm just laughing at Jono. You're crying. Oh, goodness. My friend's partner tried this exact same trick.

Oh, that trick is Ellie's dad. Yeah. Now he's got the whole crowd around at the party. And he goes to light it. Pushes a little too hard. Oh, and is he no pants as well, maybe? Oh, no. Something's coming.

No. No. The whole party. No. He's done a crowd burn. Oh, no. Oh, no. That's done a crowd burn. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, that's a low moment for him.

And us as well, too. Oh, God. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Now, yesterday I was picking up the olds from the airport. We've got a big weekend of dance coming up. You and the olds? We're in the dance corps. They come up here.

The seniors category. And I'm at the airport because they're a little bit delayed so I was like, I might as well just go and wait in the arrivals area, you know. You can't wait in the car park outside, can you? They move you on quickly.

They do. Yeah. And then you just try and keep looping around and they're like, I know what you're doing, but no, I know what you're doing. And then you just try

and push it as long as you can. So you ended up just sitting around. Sort of just an annoying pest lingering around the airport. Went into three wise men. You know, you have a look at that. And they're like, you're not wise enough to be in here. Went into the sunglass hut. So I just found myself just sort of sitting down.

And I'm one of these people that if there's someone with a screen around me, I can't help but look at it. Can't help but like, you know, when you're behind someone on their phone and you're like, oh, what are they doing? You know, looking for time off work. Okay, I wonder if they'll be granted the interview. You really get in there, don't you? Yeah, I do. Nosey.

Nosey. Completely nosey. Yeah, terrible. Anyway, I was sitting next to someone. They were in the seat in front. And they had their iPad. And they were playing the show, which I think is the one you've been talking to me about, the Alien show on Netflix Oh yeah, that's in the

top ten actually, it's crazy I assumed it was the same show so I'm like, I'm peeking over the shoulders, oh this is the show Megan's been talking about and I'm getting lost in the show over their shoulder, the problem being though is, you know when someone's peering over, you can feel it and I got

they turned around and eyeballed me as I'm staring directly at their iPad. I've got nothing. You're completely disarmed then. You're like, I'm sorry. I shouldn't be doing this right now. Well, you don't watch any movies on long-haul flights either.

That annoys him too. I watch his screen. He watches my screen. He's like, what's happening now? I'm like, just watch it. It's there for you. I raw his screen. You watch my screen. He's like, what's happening now? I'm like, well, just watch it. Oh, Jono. Just watch it. Like, it's there for you, you know? I raw dog it. Every flight. But then I annoy Ben because I'm like, what's happening? Just watch something.

What is wrong with you? I know, exactly. It's so weird. You've got your own screen. I've got my own movie. It's playing in my head. Well, no, you don't because you watch everyone else's. You don't have your own movies playing in your head.

Sometimes I watch people's screens that are like three or four a head in the aisle. Like Sweet Home Alabama. I don't know. I don't know four ahead in the aisle. Like Sweet Home Alabama. I don't know. I don't know. You don't want to watch Sweet Home Alabama yourself. It makes no sense to me. Or anyone else. The hits.

The Jono and Ben podcast. Hello. She's fizzing for a quizzen. Is it a tough one today? Because you do a little review. Yeah. It's not as... Oh, it's a few weird ones, actually.

But I think you could do it. I was in your producer's booth just moments ago, and I was behind your computer screen, and she thought I was taking a peek. Slowly pulled the screen down. It was lingering around me there, and I was doing the quiz just as the pre-bit, and I had to slowly place my laptop down.

You know what? I forgot I didn't do any thinking during that song. I was watching you all, you guys just distracted, not doing anything to do with the quiz, and I was just quietly laughing to myself. The quiz queen is like, idiots, idiots. What are we supposed to do? We can't Google. You quietly laughing to myself. The quiz queen is like idiots. Idiots. What are we supposed to do? We can't Google. You're right Megan, we're not allowed to Google.

You can technically do maths for this question. How many feet are in a mile? Is it 2,000 feet, 5,280 feet or 1,760 feet? Okay, let's work this out. So a mile is slightly longer than a kilometre isn't it? How many subway footlongs into that? So that's like a foot. Well yeah, roughly I isn't it? Yeah. How many subway footlongs into that?

So that's like a foot. Well, yeah, roughly, I think. Yeah, well, it's called a footlong. Yeah. Yeah, so. So there's 12 inches and a foot. And how many. You're right.
