The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Cheers to Dilma, making the world a better tea. I'm prepared for some snow. Cold snap coming back. I said it was going to be good on Wednesday, and it was relatively better. Although a lot of rain, some tornadoes, and now a cold snap coming back again. It's going to get a little colder over the next couple of days. As we've always said though, it depends on what your outlook is of good weather.

Some people, there's great weather. If you like skiing, if you like hurricane chasing, some of your hobbies. This weekend, Ben, I know you were just fresh off two weeks of musical theatre performances in your household. This way I've got more time to do in the ballet arena,

the dance arena. Poppy, my daughter, does a lot of dancing. And shout out to the bloody, we were there till like eight, o'clock sunday night but shout out to the organizers and the judges those things started like 9 10 in the morning by the end i'd be like you know you all seem like you're dancing in time 10 out of 10 you know they're doing it well there's a lot of people

that do you know a lot of volunteer stuff for kids in sports and arts and all sorts around the country yeah it's pretty incredible lovely lady was in the lift uh at the school that they're performing at and uh she's like didn't pick you for a dance date and i don't want to stereotype there's a lot of a lot of mums are there they're doing that they're doing the dance there's a smattering of fathers there and i said i didn't pick myself for one either but here we are it's life isn't it and there's a guy i, I could see him watching the NRL on his cell phone. Amazing. Yeah, I mean, the SkyGo app's been a game changer for dads at dance competitions.

You're right. And some of the dancers, Oscar, my son, he leaned over, he's like, I don't know where to look right now. Some of them are quite, you know, very... Grown-up dance moves. Oh, yeah. Right. Just look at your phone, son.

Look at the NRL. Look at the NRL. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. Cool movie news around at the moment. Happy Gilmore 2 is coming to Netflix, which is pretty awesome. They're going to make a new Happy Gilmore. He's back, is he?

Sam Sandler's going to come back as well. And also Wicked. You'll know the musical. He's back, isn't he? Sam Sandler's going to come back as well. And also Wicked. You'll know the musical. It's been turned into a movie. A two-part movie, Megan, you've discovered. Yeah, so we've just learned it's going to be two parts. First one November this year, the second one November next year. It's a really cool story there.

It's the backstory of the Wicked Witch. From the Wizard of Oz. Yeah. And you always feel sorry for them. Like Cruella, I was like, oh. Exactly. She had a terrible upbringing Ariana Grande's in it

as well as Belinda yeah so it looks very very cool that's good the trailer's come out today is she the witch she's the good witch

the good witch the pink witch yeah that's right something we've noticed about you working with you for a couple of months and I only noticed

this the other day when I sat on your chair after you'd been sitting on it I was like oh jeez that's warm. That's very warm. You're not the first person to say it.

People that sit on, like, seats after me are always like, you have a really hot bum. You run really hot. Got some high temps running through those cheeks. But, you know, like, maybe I don't move around much. Like, you move, like, you switch cheeks and you move around. Like, maybe I don't and it just gets really warm move, like you switch cheeks and you move around. Like maybe I don't and it just gets really warm.

So now we call it Megan's hot seat. It'd be a great game show too, like a 5.30 game show. Yeah. It's hard to say it because as you said before, you said Megan's got a hot ass. I've got a hot ass, I do.

We're meaning literally though. Yeah. We can't say, you know, it's 2024. You can say it. There's nothing more comforting and disturbing than sitting on a seat,

whether it be a toilet seat or a normal seat, and it's warm. And you're like, someone else has done the heavy lifting on warming the seat, but also our butts are basically kissing. It's gross when it's a toilet seat. In Japan, though, when I went over the holiday, they have toilets that are warm. They were heated up. I'm okay with that.

So that's okay. Because you know that it was the toilet that did it. And actually, it's wonderful. It's wonderful. Because you know that it was the toilet that did it. And actually, it's wonderful. It's wonderful. Because you know it's not someone else. You know, you'll see. Oh, that's nice. It really catches you off guard every time.

And you're like, well, I've got no other option than to stay on this. I'm here now. But I thought maybe we could play a little game right now and see if this works, Jono. Megan's sitting on a chair. I'm going to grab another chair, exactly the same from the studio. You close your eyes. And then I'll swap them around. And then you need to sit on them and work out which one Megan was sitting on a chair. I'm going to grab another chair, exactly the same from the studio. You close your eyes. And then I'll swap them around

and then you need to sit on them and work out which one Megan was sitting on with her hot ass. Is this the pilot episode for Megan's hot seat? Yeah, Megan's hot seat. I'll try and see how it works.

I'm going to shut my eyes. Okay, so my eyes are closed. I can't see anything. All right. I'll get off at the last minute. All right. Does the money jackpot? Okay, I'm swapping chairs around okay is it warm have you tested the team i think it's this one i'm starting i

need to remember okay okay work it out okay can i open my eyes now yeah open your eyes sit on both seats you got two chairs exactly the same one megan's been sitting on you know can i feel them with my hands first yeah you can yeah no just sit on it with your bum feel it with your bum temperature okay so john is walking oh why that one okay well yeah no okay they're correct no that's not that one it feels like the porridge with that it's like cold he loves it okay that's one yes straight away and that's like we left it to cool for a little bit too like that was like Yes. Oh, yes, it is. Straight away. And that's like, we let that cool for a little bit too. That was like, that was a good 20 seconds after that, you know? It's still very warm.

I don't know what's wrong with me. It's radiating into my butt cheeks. Like seriously, is there something wrong with my bum? I can't believe your ass is that hot. No. Thank you. This is going to get clipped up. These words are going to cancel us later for this.

The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. A new word this morning, misophonia, which is a strong dislike or hatred of certain sounds. So if loud chewing triggers you, then maybe don't listen to this next bit because there's a Burger King ad that's on television at the moment. It's had multiple, multiple complaints.

So many people, because it features loud chewing, it's about a crunchy burger and obviously they have the crunchy sounds through the burger. Someone's so mad that they threw their remote at the TV and broke the TV. That seems like a reasonable response. Well, I guess if it's your thing, it's had so many times, it muted and its bloody ad keeps coming back on. What about turning the TV off? Well, I think they've tried that multiple times and then got so frustrated,

so triggered by it, threw their remote at the TV. Now, here's the ad. If it does trigger you, maybe don't listen to this bit, but this is the ad. Since you can't hear it, here's a crunchy little way to walk around with a really loud crispy onion and our famous barbecue sauce. but this is the ad. It's very loud and crunchy. Yeah.

Get that. Is it worth ruining a TV for? Hey, that's over to you. If it's your thing, it's your thing. Is there any sounds that really irritate you that you can't? The fingernails

down the black borders gets me every time. Yeah, but then it's not a situation that happens that often no and it's not nowadays no true and if someone used to just do it just to get annoying people you know yeah mine would be the fingers fingernails down the whiteboard not quite the same effect yeah that's probably that yeah my wife does this thing that kind of clears it clears her ears or something and some you know and it's a noise i'm like don't do that she doesn't even know you don't do it yeah so and it's like a hum thing that kind of clears her ears or something and some you know and it's a noise i'm like don't do it she doesn't even know you don't do it yeah so and it's like a hum thing that kind of yeah

oscar my son does that when he's got uh cold overnight you just hit in the middle of the night wildebeest are we holding you quite as demonic as that he's like clears his ears ears. I was like, hey, do what you do. I just hold my nose and blow.

Yeah. My ultimate no is peaches. Oh, jeez. I know it's not sounds. Peaches. Oh,

the furry skin. Oh, really? Yeah. My nips are hard now just thinking about them. What about kiwi fruit? Final kiwi fruit.

Really? But kiwi fruit would be furwi fruit. But kiwi fruit would be furrier. Yeah. Yeah but you don't bite into a kiwi fruit. It's the biting.

You don't have to bite into a peach. What if you wet it? Some people wet the skin. Honestly. It's terrible.

It's so weird. Prefer a nectarine do you? Yeah I love nectarines. I like the peach ones. It's all the Edmonds nectarine, do you? Yeah, I love nectarines. I like the peach ones. It's all the admins done

of a moving out of there. It's like getting like a pineapple. Oh, I couldn't even bite into one of those. We don't have to if you don't want to. I'll throw a robot. You're a grown man and we can just chuck a peach at you and you can be like,

oh, it's my kryptonite. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. I like to flashback on a Friday, but before we do, we'll play this because it's from an American show. It's so good. From Who Wants to Be a Millionaire

from a few years ago. Yeah, so the guy had, we've edited it down a bit, but he had made it all the way through to the million dollar question and he still had every single lifeline. Amazing. Yeah, like he hadn't phoned a friend

or anything like this and so he decided for the million dollar answer. This is for a million bucks. He was going to phone a friend. He was to phone his dad uh to help him with the answer well that's what everyone thought uh hi dad hi um and i really need your help but i just wanted to let you know that i'm going to win the million dollars Because the US President appeared on Laugh-In as Richard Nixon. That's my final answer. He's won a million dollars.

Crazy. So confident. He was just like, that's my final answer. Let's just rock it through this. Love the arrogance of it, the confidence of it. That's the BDE right there, isn't it? Oh, yeah. That's why we thought we'd flashback with some

game shows from New Zealand in Flashback Friday. Gonna start with Family Feud. Family Feud. That was a great show. It was huge. Hosted by Dye. So it was an American format hosted by Steve Harvey. You might see the bloopers online. He's very funny.

And they ask, you know, weird questions. And he always, I love how he always acts so surprised, Steve Harvey, when he gets a rude answer. Name a part of your body you can sneak something into prison with. Yeah. You know, they're like, butt. And he was like, I was thinking briefcase sort of thing. But Di, Di Hen Henwood hosted the New Zealand

version of the show and he did a wonderful job and there were some brilliant moments particularly this one with a team from Gisborne Name something that gives you support Social wealthy Awesome That is That is awesome

Is social welfare on the board? And it should be too What did you all think of? I went straight to bra I thought bra too That would be maybe the most common answer Because that was it. It was no kind of, I mean, right or wrong answer.

It's just what most people thought in the game. Yeah. Social welfare is a genuine answer. It gives support. And there was a magnificent time in New Zealand where New Zealand television could still afford to make television. Exactly. Yeah.

Some other great game shows. Do you remember? No, we don't have an audio of it. Jeremy Corbett. Deal or no deal? Yeah. That was about another big American show that came over as well. Babes in briefcases, wasn't it?

Amiga Markle, actually. She was one of the... She was a briefcase babe. Yeah, in the American show. Was she? Yeah, she was. David Tua. Basically, we've never forgotten this.

Wheel of Fortune. He got to play Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, and this happened. $180 to set you away, David. All for awesome. Oh, a vowel you away, David. All for Olsen. Oh, a vowel. I'm sorry, no vowels. Not yes, anyway. He says,

oh, for Olsen, but he has claimed oh, for Olsen. Olsen, yeah. And when you hear it, he's saying Olsen. Olsen. Yeah.

For years, he was like, oh, for Olsen. It was a league play, wasn't it? Olsen, and that's who he was saying. Yeah.

He was absolutely saying Olsen. And for decades, we bullied him. He was the punchline of jokes. He was on a Minty's Moments ad. Yeah. He was like, I didn't say Olsen. He didn't even say it. The whole time, he was like, I'll just take this.

Yeah. He was definitely Olsen. I know. We're just arguing back. We'll do one more. We talked to Simon Barnett about a show that he hosted for many years called Face the Music, which is a show that basically played some stuff. You had to guess the musical songs.

And they had some great prizes, huge prizes. Tonight's major prize is outstanding in every way, an incredible Sansui hi-fi system with award-winning Polk Audio speakers, 100 watts of dynamic power from Eastern Hi-Fi, Pacific Audio, and Face the Music. Yeah, now we've done our best to track down the Sansui. Unfortunately, Sansui didn't make it through into the new millennium. You know what's so funny? Man, people would spend three weeks and win for three weeks in a row to win a CD cleaner. It was just for fun.

I don't know. I don't know what was going on back then. It was bad. It was a different time. It was a different time. I haven't seen my family in three weeks, but I've got a CD cleaner. Amazing prizes, baby. You go for a million dollars in America as a CD cleaner in New Zealand.

It's Pink Shirt Day today. Isn't it an annual day where we shine a light on anti-bullying and trying to stamp out bullying, not only in schools but workplaces day to day as well. It's really cool to see the kids and businesses getting into it. My kids getting their pink T-shirts ready last night. I had to drop a pink tutu off at my daughter's friend's house who's at another school because they wanted to match. You're not even at the same school. Yeah. But I had to drop that off. You got bullied into doing

that? I was happy to do it. I was happy to do it. But the spokesperson for Pink Shirt Day today is former ZM Night host. Wonderful man. Tell you what, he's left the radio station, which was next door to us now, and vibes have gone down in the office. He really is a wonderful human being. Cam Mansell, welcome to the show. Good morning, guys. What an intro.

It's all true, babe. It's now just a bleak, desolate wasteland in this office without you, Cam. Oh, man, you're making me feel the love this morning. I miss you a lot. Oh, yeah. I miss you all. As Jono said, you're such a great person to have around the office and to hang out with as well. And, you know, you're always so stylish and you can pull off different looks and stuff like that.

Every week you had a different look. Yeah, different hairstyles different glasses all sorts and then i was reading last night that you obviously through your childhood had a lot of bullying and i'm like how can anyone bully cam matzel he's like the coolest guy i know definitely not the coolest guy you know but um yeah one thing about bullying is that it doesn't discriminate it can literally happen to anyone anywhere at any time It's not just a school thing. It can happen at work. But yeah, Pink Shirt Day,

just all about making sure everybody feels included and involved. And I think for me, when I was going through that phase, it was a bit of a situation where I was feeling a bit isolated. And I know for a lot of people who do experience bullying, it's kind of a similar thing. So Pink Shirt Day is just a reminder that even if you're feeling like it should be happening to you or like it's a normal thing to be happening, it's just a little reminder that it's not normal

and it shouldn't be happening. It's really a great initiative. It's a great thing and it started, we talk about this every year, but I love the way we're at the place that started. Obviously, it started with someone getting bullied in Canada, but some other students really supported this person. Yeah, so basically there was a student getting bullied, and then a whole bunch of their friends started wearing pink shirts to show support to them.

And then from there, it became an annual thing. And now it's a bit of a global thing as well. Yeah, and talk about you know you mentioned uh your experiences when you were going through high school what helped what got you through it i tried to focus on things that i really enjoyed so rather than focusing on what these main things that people were saying were i would go and join the school band i played the trumpet at the time and then got into musical theatre, which I absolutely loved.

So, yeah, try and focus your energy on things that make you happy and try and focus your time on things that, like, if you feel creative or, you know, just the things that feel good to you. Now, I certainly wasn't a bully at school or anything, but sometimes you feel a little bit hypocritical on days like this going, hey, you know, don't bully, don't bully, where potentially I could have been in situations where you've heard people say things to people or about people

and didn't speak up, you know? And how important is that to speak up in that moment? Because that's also, it's quite a brave thing to do in a group situation. 100%. Speaking of a super important, moment because that's also it's quite a brave thing to do in a group situation 100 speaking of a super important i i feel like sometimes people might not even realize that they are bullying someone so if you can speak up and you feel you know strong enough to do that that is amazing but even in those situations if you don't feel strong enough to call it out in the moment you can leave the act and then just tell the person that has been bullied that you know you've seen what has happened and you don't think it's okay

and just offer them support if they need it because you're not aware sometimes of what your actions and words and the effect it can have on people and the long-lasting damage it can have even with social media as well everyone's so quick to comment and to say things and you know you don't realize it's often a real person that's going to read those comments. How can we support it today, though, Cam? What's one way that people around the country listening right now can support? If you've got a pink shirt in the cupboard, put it on, get it out, get involved. And yeah, I love what you said about social media.

I feel like there is a lot of bullying going on on social media. If you see it you can even just leave a comment like there's been a couple of times where i've seen some nasty comments to people and i don't even focus on the nasty comments i just either send the person a dm or just comment and say something that's a bit nicer that's why you're such a great guy love to talk to you and great work today it's such an important thing to get out and about

so well done on that into the weekend we like to know and we like to do this on a Friday who's having the best weekend you can give us a call yeah every time I know you think every time someone asks you that question at work you think they don't care

you're thinking I don't even care what I'm doing this weekend. Why would they care about it? But we do. Yeah, we do. We do genuinely care. Amy's already called up. Okay, Amy, we don't even mind if you're scratching your bits and not showering for two days. Just make up something you're doing this weekend.

Sorry. We'll chop those up.

We'll chop those up. I'll give nothing, alright? This next call, nothing. Alright? Nothing. You owe anything from me, all right? I said it was my favourite part. No, but the way you said it, it was definitely not your favourite part. I meant it. Okay, from now, I'm saying nothing. No, make more sound effects.

Ben, we've got another Ben on the phone. Can you make some sound effects? Can you make a sound effect for us, Ben? Oh, it might not be appropriate, but I could do it. Go for it. Oh, it might not be appropriate, but I could do it. Go for it. Oh, hiya. That doesn't seem kind of appropriate. Unless it's got undertones, that noise.

What are you doing this weekend, Ben? Oh, I'm going to go see my mates over at a lifestyle property, and we just cleared some trees for them, and we're going to do a big burn-off and maybe have a couple of beers with some mates. And, yeah, that's on Saturday night. That's a massive bonfire. Yeah.

Yeah, see what happens, eh? Try and keep out of trouble. Yeah, I was just about to say, just be careful. Beers in a bonfire. Yeah. Don't light any hairs on fire. You know how some people get a bit tricky with them? Yeah, we've said no fuel because I know people get out of control.

Yeah, well, you sound like it's going to be an absolute nightmare, but enjoy your bonfire, though. Ben will give you some hell pizza, eh? Awesome. Thanks, fellas. Should we keep this going? Yeah, why not? I'm back in, guys.

I'm back in. I'm back in. Just react to, oh, there was no, oh, poetry through that from me. So, oh, 100 The Hits, 0 487 Dallas. Why, you reckon you have been the best weekend yet? The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.

What are you doing this weekend? That's what we want to know. Phone up, come up with something mildly interesting, fill in three minutes of radio for us. That's what we're after.

Megan, what are you doing? We're actually going to Kelly Tarleton's this weekend. The Underwater Worlds. They are teaming up with Cocomelon. Oh, a collab. It'll be an early night for me tonight because otherwise The underwater world. They are teaming up with Coco Melon.

A collab. An early night for me tonight because otherwise that will be a lot to endure. How are they collabing with Coco Melon? What is it? Is it Jojo? Jo? I can't remember the main character of Coco Melon, but he's going to be there. Oh, great.

For all the kitties. Big star. This weekend. That's happening this weekend as well. My son's going to be like woo! He's huge in real life. Yeah, there we go. I'm probably going to be undoing all the great work I've done Monday to Thursday with trying to eat healthy and not

drinking. Alright, let's go to the phones. What are you doing this weekend now? Amarangi Malisala has phoned up. Amarangi, morena. Morena. Lovely to have you on. From the Stars, you're taking on the Pulse this weekend in the netball.

You're going to be having a great weekend. Yeah, well, that's it. Well, I'm actually going to be based in Auckland because I'm injured at the moment. You're going to have a shocking weekend. You get to watch it on the telly though, right? Exactly. Right from my couch. That's the best place to watch the game. So if you're injured, you don't have to go it on the telly though, right? Exactly, right from my couch.

So that's the best place to watch the game. So if you're injured, you don't have to go along to the game and like sit on the sidelines? Well, the thing is that we may have a replacement player. They keep to travel. So, you know, costing as well. So I'll be watching from home. But if it's a home game, I'm there on the

bench supporting the game. I'm heading along this weekend, as I do most weekends, to watch my daughters play netball. Tell me at what age do they start playing inside? When does that happen in the netball career? I think, well,

I started playing inside at year nine, but I think it depends on what team you play for. What she's trying to say is if you're really good, you get to play inside. Because, jeez, I'll tell you what, I'm with you, Ben. We're both netball dads, and that sport just plows on. Extreme weather-related events does not affect, tsunamis, hurricanes, earthquakes, you name it.

They play, don't they? A nuclear explosion, they'd still be playing netball that's like you were playing inside at year 9 you were like really good

from year 9 oh well I don't know I don't want to say oh yeah you don't have to be humble

you played for Silver Ferns so you must be pretty good that's a really good that's a good gauge for us though as netball dads if they haven't started playing inside by year 9 you're out of the game Silver Ferns, so you must be pretty good. That's a really good gauge for us, though, as netball dads. If they haven't

started playing inside by year nine, you're out of the game. Silver Ferns is not in the future. Hey, hey, there's still hope. You know, you've just got to keep going, girls. That's right. Now, you play for the Silver Ferns. Were you dreaming of that as a year nine? Yeah, yeah, definitely.

That's the reason why you play netball, is to work towards something like this all friends and I was really fortunate this year to get that opportunity so yeah, I still look back and be like, geez, that was actually a milestone that I tipped off and I think the hardest part is

staying in it so I'll be returning back to play next week against the tactics so that's something that I've got to get back I'll be returning back to play next week against the tactics. So that's something that I've got to get back playing again to be able to be considered for the friend, but I can't do that unless I'm back playing for ANZ. So, yeah, staying in it, that's the hardest part.

If you need a warm-up game, there's plenty of outdoor games that our kids are playing in so you can pop along for that. I'm not going to go. Well, I hope the injury gets better. I hope you are. We do see you on the silver fern. Stars take on the Pulse TSB Arena in Wellington,

but you can catch it free to air, TVNZ 2 and TVNZ Plus from 4pm. Yeah. Hey, good on you, mate. Lovely to hear from you. Cool. Thank you all for having me on the show. The hits.

The Jono and Ben podcast. Cold snap on the way, particularly in the south. Potential snow happening. So,o and Ben podcast. Cold snap on the way, particularly in the south. Potential snow happening. So, yeah, enjoy that over the weekend if it does head your way. It's nice sometimes, that weather, though. Yeah, when you're outside and you snag, it's awesome, isn't it? If you're outside having to battle with it, then it's terrible.

Although down south they wear stubby shorts all the time and they just kind of roll with it. So they're going to be fine. Imagine Waino and Nelson, your father. He very rarely wears pants. I would say so, yeah. So everyone will be fine. Imagine Waino and Nelson, your father. He very rarely wears pants. I would say so, yeah. All the way through winter. It's like his legs don't have temperature receptors.

Well, he does like nature. I mean, conditions, winter's probably not great for nature. No, they don't get their kid off much in winter. No, it's a summer sport. Especially for men. Yeah. Now, I was thinking about this over the weekend. Sorry, the last weekend I was thinking about this because um you know it seems to be a bit of a discussion in our car it's

changed a lot since i was a kid when i was a kid you know with my sibling you know with my my sister amelia we were fighting over who would get you know put their elbow in the middle part of the seat in the back and if i went too far over it was like dad he's encroaching on the middle. The fold down bit there yeah wonderful you don't use that enough do you? I know you couldn't really for some reason we couldn't share it properly without having arguments. Generally it's pretty two elbows it's not like an airplane one

but for some reason my sister and I would bicker about this that I'd move a bit further than I was meant to and then dad would move back when dad would look so it was a fun little game. That was the biggest issue in the car back in the 90s. Yeah, but now it seems to be, you know,

because my kids have got, they've got our old phones, you know, for security and stuff like that. So now it seems to be whose phone is on the least amount of charge and who gets the one charge

and plug it in. Like, I'll be driving the car, plug my phone in and then they'll be like, I'm taking your phone out, you're on 60%. I'm like, well, you can't take my phone. Are you driving? I'm driving, yeah. Oh, you take priority. You take, and then they'll be like, I'm taking your phone out, you're on 60%. I'm like, well, you can't take my phone.

Are you driving? I'm driving, yeah. Oh, you take priority. You take priority. Then they'll be like, mine's on 14%,

and then someone will go, no, mine's on 8%. You know, it'd be like, whoever they think, whoever's on the lowest charge, deserves the charger.

I feel like that's, of course. No. It's my car. You're on 60%. The pecking order goes, driver, front seat passenger,

then they can fight to the death in the back. Whoever's on 8% gets it. What if the car blows up, you'll get sprayed in different areas. You'll be sad that you didn't charge the 8% because she's going to be... Can I just say, hell of an explosion. I was trying to think of a scenario where you'd all be separated. Huge explosion and also grab,

we had the foresight to grab our phones on the way as well. Grab your phone as it explodes. And then I'm like, oh, I'm on 60%. I'm okay. One of my daughters is like, 8%. I'm not going to be around for long. So what is the end result? Does the 8% get it in your car?

I don't know. The frustrating thing is we'd been home for a couple of hours. I was like, why didn't you charge it then? Why is this now my problem? Why is this? You're on 60%. You're all good. He wants to bet 100 though.

Yeah. We all want to bet 100. I want to scroll through Instagram while I'm waiting outside the glassons for my daughter's shop. That requires

some battery power. Exactly. So you reckon, okay, so you reckon I'm, I should bet. The lowest charge gets the charger. All right. Well, that's the new car. No matter whose cable it power. Exactly. So you reckon, okay. So you reckon I'm... The lowest charge gets the charger.

All right. Well, that's the new car role as well. No matter whose cable it is. Yeah. No matter whose car it is. Exactly. Okay, let's say you're in an Uber. Are you playing that game with the Uber driver?

Yeah, here we are full charge. He's been driving around. He doesn't need the charger. Yeah, he's probably not getting out of the car. All right. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. We like to catch up with Taylor Curtis from Sky Sport to find out what sporting games we can watch over the charger. Yeah, he's probably not getting out of the car. All right. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. We like to catch up with Taylor Curtis

from Sky Sport to find out what sporting games we can watch over the weekend. Good morning, Taylor. Hey, how's it going? TC.

T-Dog. T-Dog. T-Dizzle. Kurt, what's your nickname? Um, Sam. Oh, Sam,

of course, your twin sister. That's a great nickname. People are like, hey, Sam. You're like, oh course, your twin sister. That's a great nickname. People are like, hey, Sam. You're like, oh, yeah, that's my nickname. It's nice to have you back again. And as always, another big weekend of sport. Yeah, where do you want to start?

Well, let's start with the Phoenix. Let's give them some love because they are one game away. This Saturday night, right, in Wellington, it looks like it's going to be a sellout. They're one game away from their first ever final, which is incredible. Yeah, it's massive. And to think they were nearly pushed out of the comp

a couple of years ago and then now this. But I think what they bring is one of the best atmosphere. We think you see the Warriors' atmosphere that they build, but the Phoenix is next level. If you've ever been to a game, everyone kind of takes their shirts off and starts swinging it around at 90 minute mark. It just looks like so much fun. This weekend

will be great. It does look like a lot of fun. You did say Wellington was deep in yellow fever at the moment. Is that still continuing on this week? Yeah, it's outraged. It's almost doubled in numbers. It's almost doubled in numbers. Yeah,

right, it's turned into a pandemic. Dr. Ashley Bloomford is going to come out, we're going to be in lockdown because of it,

you know. But you can watch Wellington Phoenix semi-final, Melbourne Victory, if you want to watch it, Sky Sport 2 live, streaming on Sky Sport now,

6pm Saturday, but then Sky Open doing delay coverage, which is awesome, 9.30 as well, so that's cool. What are the chances like realistically taylor any contest between um melbourne victory has been really close with we've beaten them at least once well it was nil or their last game that they played melbourne a huge advantage with the name victory as well it's a big name to live up

to yeah i felt like that's a real Australian name New Zealand, we wouldn't call ourselves the Victory Nah, they'd be like, sit down mate Yeah, the New Zealand, we're okay sometimes Victory lost again Hey, we've got the Magic Round in Rugby League That means all the games have been played in the same location For the NRL, the Warriors

Interesting team this week, they've got so many injuries Yeah, nah, they do But Magic Round's great, though, because anything can happen. You know, everyone doesn't have that whole home advantage thing and, like, you can imagine the atmosphere is going to be unreal there, too. But there's so many injured,

right? Am I doing good, Benta? Lots of the WAs are injured, you know? Like, you've got to give players a chance. We won't see the people we're used to, but people that are training day in, day out, they're just waiting for their moment. I think you've got to give players a chance. We won't see the people we're used to, but people that are training day in, day out, they're just waiting for their moment. I think you've still got to get behind them. They're still warriors.

Hey, Sean Johnson, Roger Tuivasa-Shek, Marcelo Montoya all had their first game at some point. Yeah. I had to. That's a fact. That's true. Great fact. Great, you're right.

And look at them now. And if we can reference Union, what about when Beaver stepped in when we had no one else after a million injuries? Sure, not his first game. Oh, my God, sports chat from me. Good sports chat. Not his first game, but you're right. It was a great moment, Megan.

Taylor Curtis, anything else you want to throw our way on Sky Sport over the weekend? Black Ferns on Sunday against Canada. It'll be one of their tougher games. Last week you said before the game even happened, they're going to play the USA, they're going to destroy them. And you were right. Yeah, I did demo. Demo, that's right.

They did demo them. Yeah, it'll be a lot closer this time against Canada, but again, I think we should be in pretty safe hands. Well, last week actually it was a really awesome crowd in the rugby, not just for that, but also, you know, for the Blues taking on the Hurricanes. Daytime rugby,

what do you reckon? I reckon there's something in it. Yeah, I feel like everyone, I feel like everyone's focusing on the daytime thing, but, like, I don't know if it is, like, Blues and Hurricanes

is one of the biggest games of the comp. Like, of course, everyone wants to go see it, you know? Ben, she's saying, stop focusing on the daytime. I know it's good,

you can do something in the evening, you can have a dinner, you can do whatever, but you're saying it doesn't matter, she's saying stop focusing on the daytime. I thought it was good. You can do something in the evening. You go out for dinner, you do whatever, but you're saying it doesn't matter. It was the game that was the winner.

Yeah, I feel like it was the game that everyone wanted to see. Although, Wellington Phoenix at 4.30, that to me sounds like a good time going in. That's a nice time.

You can go out for dinner afterwards, Ben. Thank you. That's good. Thank you. Actually, can we reschedule the whole Super Rugby season

for Ben's dinner time why don't you send your dinner reservations to the NZRU so people know what time I'm thinking what things are on and then

oh hey Taylor love catching up with you mate do you have to work all weekend yeah I will I've got yeah work

like tonight tomorrow a game of league to play and then some work on Sunday for Blackburn. She was. Well, I saw you last week on the telly.

You do a wonderful job, so keep it up. Oh, thank you. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. I don't know, because I was just reading about this person in America, went to a lot of trouble for a bit of revenge. Some came outside their property, and a dog had done their business right outside their doorstep. That is a criminal, but monstrous behavior.

And so they were, all right, they had enough. So they went, they had a security camera. They trawled through hours of footage until they found the dog crapping on the doorstep. And the owner of the dog just standing there watching, looking at it and then walking on their way. So they were, all right, they'll take a screen grab of the footage. They took a photo of it basically, put it on the WhatsApp for the neighbourhood, found out who the person was, laminated a

photo of the act of him with the dog sitting there got the dog crap in a bag stapled it to the laminated photo and put it on his doorstep. Great revenge. Jeez, that is that's a level of pettiness you've really got to respect.

To the amount of time and... No, laminate. It's fine if they're just dropping it on your doorstep, but the fact that the whole neighbourhood now knows that you did that, you're like, oh. I know, so really, really, I mean, petty revenge, but great revenge. Yeah, so after the pettiest revenge stories this morning, whether you're a victim of the petty revenge or you're the manipulator, the mastermind behind the petty revenge. We had a guy

who was let go from the radio station. I can't even remember what for, but he wasn't entirely thrilled about his exit. And over a number of about three or four weeks, the station started to smell. It was like death, the smell of death. And no one could find it. It wasn't in the fridge. A very hygienic radio station anyway. No, you're right. The rock, I mean, our hygiene standards were low to begin with at the rock. But then over like four weeks, you're like, no one could bear this anymore.

We had like tipped everything upside down. You couldn't find where the smell was coming from. And in the ceiling, under the tiles in the ceiling, he had put a whole bunch of meat. That had just, and I was like. Just feasted away. That is, you know, that level of pettiness takes such extreme creativity. Yeah.

Like, ultimate crime, no one could prove it was him. Well, now it was him. Yeah, you're right. Now, we're just talking about the pettiest revenge that you've either been a victim of or you've actually masterminded. 0800 the hits the telephone number you can text to 4487. We're talking about the meat in the ceiling. That was a wonderful slow builder

at a former radio station that we were at. Your friend fell victim to the alarm clocks in the mattress. Oh yeah, putting a smoke detector underneath the mattress. Oh so your smoke detector's on. Yeah and when the battery ran out it just started that beeping noise in his room and it was cut under the mattress oh so your smoke detector so yeah and when the battery ran out it just started that beeping noise

in his room and it was cut under the mattress in the flat so he was just turning everything up looking in drawers anything with his beep

going bonkers trying to go to sleep we're just hearing this beep chef's kiss and then eventually finding a yeah

the smoke alarm I'm going to start a document and write these all down it's quite a good one I do love I do love when you get back to your car And someone's put your wiper blades up That's a lovely little bit of I know, it's so silly

But at the same time you're like, alright You put the back one up Because you see it when you get into your car And you put them down And then you're driving off and you're like Oh, my back one I've never seen the back one That's a nice touch, Megan

Okay, Jo, welcome on to the show New Zealand's Breakfast. Great to have you on, Jo. Petty Revenge, what was it? Yeah, hi. Morning, guys. This was a very long time ago. Just an ex-boyfriend's mother who was very fanatical about her garden

and her pretty flowers and little waves and shapes of the garden and stuff. And me and a couple of friends went and put Roundup on to it. Oh, gee. Wait, isn't your beef with the sun? Yeah, and I just, yeah. Yeah, I figured, but it was there. Emotions were running high. Yeah, wow.

Yeah, but she was the master of mine behind him Oh, right She deserved it As far as I'm concerned Well, he lived with her for a start It was just one of those things Did you go back and get to witness the fruits of your labour? Did the

We never really did But my flatmate at the time He did like um like like a garden care like lawns and gardens and stuff and we were talking and he's like oh this shit will kill everything like so he like um he gave us the idea and we're like oh my god it's perfect for her she literally spent hours in that garden and they used to go away for like weekends and stuff so we just snuck around there one day and just got a bucket and poured it

all through the garden. There's some revenge. We forgot to mention this is also going to be used as evidence. Hey Erin, you're on. Welcome. Petty revenge. What happened? So me and an ex-boyfriend broke up and

not long after I saw him in town with another girl So I kind of went and got his car Because I still had his keys And moved it to the other end of town That's actually really good It's not illegal Subtle Yeah

I love that And Tash, you're on Good morning Petty Revenge, what have you got? So I worked on cruise ships for 10 years. I was a dancer. And one of my contracts, the guy I was seeing, I found out he was sleeping with one of the other girls in my car.

Okay. So, yeah, one night a few of us were drunk and we were backstage in our dressing room and we had, like, hairpieces for our shows. And I got her hairpiece and I brushed it with a toilet brush so I thought, oh, I'll be the bigger person but at least when I know and I stare on stage at least she's eating shit.

There we go. The pettiest of all the revenge. We're going to end it on that one. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. We've got the Prime Minister, Christopher Luxon, joining us again. Good morning. Good morning going to end it on that one. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. We've got the Prime Minister, Christopher Luxton, joining us again. Good morning. Good morning. Good to be with you guys.

I was just saying, we saw you pop up in a Highlanders shirt the other day. You're a big Crusaders fan. It was the worst interview and the worst day I've ever had, actually. It was having to sit there in the Hosking studio in a Highlanders jersey that someone deliberately got the extra small size. Oh, was that a stitch-up? Yeah, it was a stitch-up from go to woe. I felt very violated about the whole thing.

It wasn't great. I didn't know you were a Crusaders fan. Yeah, yeah, I lose 3,000 votes, I reckon, out of New Stortland unfortunately every election because of it. But no, look, you've sort of got to stay loyal, right? You said you were trying to give the team an inspirational speech after a big loss in the changing sheds? I'm such a Crusaders fan.

I happened to be down in Christchurch when they played the Reds a couple of weekends ago, and I thought, all right, I'm going to stay and watch the game. Took my dad to the game because my mum and dad lived down in Christchurch. Anyway, they invited me into the change rooms afterwards, and so I gave them, like I thought, the best motivational speech ever. It was like Coach Carter on steroids it was like going off I thought I took them to the mountaintop you know probably probably the best speech I ever gave it hasn't appeared on YouTube

well I don't know I reckon it should it was that good it was that good and I felt good about it was it ad-libbed or did you have something no no it was ad-libbed just came out I said look you know yeah I've been at adversity think about the National Party two years ago. I went through the whole sort of thing and gave them my best. Honestly, I thought it was brilliant. And quite my own humble admission. Anyway, they said it was brilliant, but you never know whether people are just sucking up.

So I ended up leaving there thinking, oh, right, we're going to be so good for the Highlanders next weekend. This is good. We've got four games to go. We can still make the playoffs and stuff. It'll be no problems at all. We'll come back. These lads are fired up, ready to go we can still make the you know the playoffs and stuff it'll be no problems at all we should we'll come back these lads are fired up ready to go and then we lost down in the internet terrible start to the day now last time you were here

of course we had my daughter come and debate you about the cell phones not being in schools yeah she was full on now we wanted to call her this morning but unfortunately she's at school now it's affecting us uh yeah so i thought last night as i picked her up i was like well have you got a message that i can pass on to the prime minister we got him back tomorrow here's sienna again well you were gonna call me but oh no i'm not allowed my phone at school it's really hindering us in the radio show anyhow how are you surviving a couple of weeks without your phone well i thought my amazing points were gonna get through to you and you're gonna like phone? Well, I thought my amazing points were going to get through to you

and you were going to change the whole rule system because my points were so good. But anyway, that did not happen. But how am I adjusting? Where I normally sit was shut, so I spent the whole lunch time looking for my friends. And yeah, some of my friends didn't end up sitting with us, so I think that it caused them a lot of emotional stress.

They're not actually connecting with people. Okay, you had your chance to debate them last time. No, no, we're at the playgrounds, Mr. Luxon. You said that... You had your chance to debate last time. There we go. Apparently, didn't they do a case study on it in her class? Yeah, they played it in social studies as well.

They played the interview as well. I reckon Sienna Boyce is going to be the leader of the Bring Back the Phone Party in 2026. I reckon she's, campaigned on one thing, right? Yeah, exactly. I reckon she'll be, she'll be, yeah,

I reckon she'll do quite well. Do you hear that some kids have even taken to using walkie-talkies? Really? Walkie-talkies. To connect with their mates. The funniest thing I saw

was actually kids had, there was some concert going on stage at one of the schools and rather than having their phones with their lights on trying to do the slow sway you know as you do yeah they had laptops and I thought oh that's that's mission accomplished well yeah but obviously phones for you you're quite a big part of your job you're doing a lot of stuff on social media your team obviously I'm guessing help you out with a lot of that yeah look I mean it's just that I

just think you've got to go direct to the public with your messages and you've got to use the platforms and forums that are available. So, yeah, we're everywhere. What we love about your TikToks, too, is you do a magnificent job of you capture the trend and then you segue into your point. Fantastic segue. A lot of people have been asking me about my skincare routine. You know what my skincare's about?

The economy. Here's one the other day. This was when Taylor Swift dropped a new double album. It was huge. And here's a little moment from Christopher Luxon's TikTok. Hey, what song are you listening to? I Can Fix Him. No, really, I can.

By Taylor Swift. Tortured Poets Department. Dropped last week. You know what else dropped last week? Our inflation dropped. The segues are a little clunky. I'll give you that. Hang on, this is a political message.

I don't believe that you've been listening to the Torture Poets Department. I have. What's your fortune? No, I'm a big, big, big, big Taylor Swift fan. What's your favourite song? I have to be honest, there's 36 songs on the album. That's a lot of songs. They do sound increasingly alike.

A lot of them are very, very similar. But I started going to, Taylor Swift first came to Canada, opening up for Keith Urban. And I used to go with my daughter. My daughter and I do a lot of concerts together, and we have Song of the Day between each other. So, yeah, that's something we do. What do you mean by Song of the Day?

What's that mean? Well, she lives in Australia. And so ever since she was at high school, we just would swap music with each other. And, you know, I'll see them do something I'm listening to. What was the one you sang the year over the year before lunch money lewis oh and i yeah and if you're a good song like mother's day song as lunch money lewis's song mama and it's a great song just talking about how he loves his mom and his jeez you love lunch money

lewis david seymour's nickname lunch money lewis was he in charge of the school lunches or is he not we've been getting a lot of joy out of Seymour saying, all right, we're keeping this bloody lunch program going, but we're cancelling the woke foods like sushi. You're sort of looking at an apple today and you're sort of going, does it have feelings of being offended by being called woke? Is that woke or not woke? And I'm going, really?

Why don't we just feed more kids food and do it at a lower cost and save the taxpayers some money? The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Who's having the best weekend? Yes, we do this every week across to Connor in the south who is on The Hits in the South Island and Hayley from The Hits in Wellington in the north. The best weekend.

Now, let's start with you, Hayley, today. You're not bussing into work? Well, I'm not. I'm returning a car today, so I've got the luxury of four wheels. Can we just say, every time you're on the bus, bloody nightmare, mate. Mate, nightmare for you. Me, I sit there in high anxiety, waiting for a call in dead silence. You're like, hey, I'm sorry, the best weekend is here.

You're all quiet. It's great to have full volume Hayley right now. Hey, but also good on you for taking public transport. Yeah, it's really good. Yeah. You are doing my bit. You're all quiet. It's great to have full volume Hayley right now. Hey, but also good on you for taking public transport. Yeah, it's really good. You are doing my bit. Which is probably not doing much in the great scheme of things, but we appreciate you getting it. One less car on the road

is good. Hey Hayley, what's happening in the North this weekend, mate? Well, we have got a hot and wild weekend in the North. We have got Hot Singles in Your Area, which is a hot single jokes comedy show as part of the comedy festival happening in the capital on Saturday night. So that's going to be a good time.

So what, single people go along? They're basically taking pity. They don't want to block anyone from coming. So they've said singles. But if you're partnering up, you can come anyway. Oh, so just a... A comedy show. Yes.

Don't make the mistake I did on a Valentine's night. I went to a stand-up comedy show sat in the front row by myself. Oh, no. Absolutely ripped into the whole night. So don't do that. Yeah, that's the frightening thing

about being at a stand-up. I went to a comedy show. It was actually a friend, Guy Williams, when he was starting out. We sat at the back. Hate sitting near the front. You'll be safe. And then he came out from the back. He's like, guys, I had a nightmare with the seating, actually.

You've got to turn your seats around. And then we're in the front row. It was a good play. And then we also have happening in Whangamata, which is the mighty Coromandel. We have got a wild woman's weekend. And this is apparently the seventh year in a row that they run it. But you can get your group of girls together, and they've basically mapped out the whole weekend.

So they've got music, exercise, food, fun. They've even got an Elvis impersonator appearance. Wild. How wild are the women getting? Wild. Wild, wild. There wild are the women getting? Wild. Wild, wild. There's even stand-up paddle boarding, so you know it's wild when that's happening.

All right. Okay, well, that's what's happening in the north. Let's whip across to Conor. What's happening in the south? Well, at the bottom of the country in Invercargill, it is a big one this weekend. The Southern Pro Wrestling makes its way to Invis. Hooligan Marcus Cool, Moody Hype, Sleek Hype, all terrible names,

but they're fighting. This weekend in the Southern Pro Wrestling Battle Lines match that Saturday. Is that leotards? Yeah, it's leotard costumes. We've been along to one in Auckland. It was a lot of fun. It was good fun. The crowd get into it.

The big takeaway for It was good fun. The crowd get into it. The big thing, big takeaway for me was fake tan. The wrestlers were like, have you had your fake tan appointment? And we're like, no. Oh, yeah. And we were very white,

particularly our thighs were very white. It's like, that's the number one rule of wrestling, fake tanning. Yeah, you've got to get the leotard on.

It's quite cold down there, though. Yeah, true. That sounds fun. What else is on this weekend? Well, we are lucky enough to have the Black Ferns in Christchurch this weekend. It's actually quite a big game because Canada last weekend,

they beat Australia 33-14 in the Pacific Four Series. New Zealand, of course, thumping the state. So it's Canada playing our Black Ferns on Sunday afternoon at 4.35 p.m. in Apollo Project Stadium. Oh, there we go. It's a big weekend in the south now, Megan. You need to decide who is having the best weekend. Well, I

run really into the wild weekend for the women in the North. Not that I'm anti the Black Ferns. Go the Ferns. But I'm going to go with the North. Wow. Wild weekend. I'm going to give it to you too, Hayley, because we could hear you at an acceptable volume. It wasn't creepy whispering on public transport.

Did you hear my daughter whispering beside me too? Mum, where do I put my toys away? And juggling being mum life as well. Well, appreciate your time. You guys have a great weekend. You too, guys.
