The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Cheers to Dilma, making the world a better tea. Welcome to the podcast on a Monday, and it's been a big sporting weekend, and continues to be for New Zealand. Yeah, we really nailed our foot to the floor with sport this morning, didn't we, on the show? It's exciting though, even the sports minister said it's like a historic weekend for New Zealand. Yeah, I couldn't think of a more, well I have a shocking memory, but I couldn't think of a more successful sporting weekend for New Zealand. Yeah, I couldn't think of a more, well, I have a shocking memory, but I couldn't think of a more successful sporting weekend for the country. And what I actually do love about it, and don't get me wrong, I love rugby and there was rugby going on in MPC at the moment, but the big achievements were from like women's cricket,

you know, there's a New Zealander in the F1, there was a football game, you know, the historic Auckland FC game, the basketball. So you're saying it's not just All Blacks? You know, sometimes it's always All Blacks. I love the but it was really great to see all these other sports getting a chance to show how much you love the all blacks i do a lot which one of the all blacks would you love the most like and what would you do to them oh are they severe that's probably my favorite yeah what would you do to our fanboy hard if i saw it even hardly a little creepy look he's got in his face and he sees his name the stuff i do to our to Artie Sevilla. Artie Sevilla. Shake his hand. Oh, yeah.

Be a bit jittery. Well, thank you for securing the fact we'll never get him in studio now. Yeah, true. Ask him questions but don't listen to the answers. Yeah, exactly. That's all the stuff I do with Artie Sevilla. All right. Well, enjoy the podcast and have a wonderful day.

There's a lot of sport to talk about right now. The White Ferns, the women's cricket side for New Zealand, in the World Cup final of the T20, and it's looking like we could take this out. This is looking really good, which is awesome. Incredible. We've never won a World Cup before. If they win, there's some great prize money put on by Cricket ICC.

So they'll basically get split between the team. What, equivalent to $3.85 million New Zealand dollars. Cricket ICC. So they'll basically get split between the team. What equivalent to 3.85 million New Zealand dollars. So that gets about $250,000 each player. Nice. If they win. Not a bad day at work. No, $150,000 if they come second in this game. But at the moment, it's looking pretty good.

Like a good payday and historic moment for the White Ferns, which is awesome. Yeah, South Africa, 118 for eight right now. They lost 10 games in a row leading up to this tournament in t20 the white fans so they didn't come in with a lot of form but it's incredible just shows what can happen if they put a few wins together oh this is amazing i was just working it out it's almost a four off every ball so they need to get it's pretty undoable at this point over the weekend as well the america's Cup retained by New Zealand. So well done.

Great weekend for New Zealand. The three-peat is complete. And Emirates Team New Zealand win the Louis Vuitton 37th America's Cup. The Louis Vuitton. The Louis Vuitton. The Louis Vuitton. Yes. So well done, Team New Zealand. I don't think the America's Cup is going to be back here in New Zealand,

but awesome that we won it. The Breakers won over the weekend. The Black Caps, the men's cricket team beat India, which doesn't normally happen. I think it's the third time in like 37 attempts. And the Auckland FC, their first weekend, their first game playing in the Australian League as well, which looked awesome.

Go Media Stadium, Full House. Over 20,000 people. All dripping in the merch and everything from day one. Incredible. Here's Debris. Here's Rogerson. Debris the provider. Rogerson with the finish.

And didn't he love that? The hometown boy. Incredible scenes. That's from Sky Sport, that coverage there right there. Yeah. Nice ass. Oh, another wicket for the Whitecaps as well. One more wicket and it's ours.

One away as well. And then 8 o'clock this morning, if that's not enough sport, Megan, you're very excited about this, as is New Zealand as well. Liam Lawson, Kiwi, is going to be driving the F1. In the Formula 1. Kiwi in the Formula 1. Granted, he's going to be starting at the back, but he's in there, which is great. He's facing a penalty

which is not his own fault. Is that from a previous race? Yeah, they put new stuff on his car, so he's got a penalty for that. How many demerit points does he get for that? Not as many as Jono. I'm the expert on that, mate. Probably lose about 50, I reckon. Okay, we'll keep you up to date with, you know,

just dripping, dousing you in sport with some Ben Boyce. It's radio sport this morning. We will be keeping you up to date. Don't you worry about that. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. And congratulations to the White Ferns, the New Zealand women's cricket side. They're winning their first ever T20 World Cup title.

They beat South Africa just about one hour ago. Epic scenes. We can see them with their trophy right now in Dubai. An incredible performance they came into this tournament, having lost like 10 games in a row. But to win is amazing. And here was the final moments on Sky Sport. There it is.

New Zealand have done it. They have etched their names in history. And we cross live now to the Women's T20 World Cup where we're watching fireworks and we can hear the fireworks live. Laura McGoldrick, come on down. Hi, guys. Hi, babes. The team are literally being handed their medals right now

and fireworks blasting all over the stadium. Shocking. Can you tell them to turn it down? We're talking to you on the radio in New Zealand. I think I just caught it on fire. It is a hell of an occasion here. This is such a huge moment for this group of awesome women, women who have played the game in new zealand for a long

time who have worked hard to get it to this point young women coming through it's a really real oh bloody whatsapp that was gonna be like what i'm watching i'm gonna get hit with champagne i'm gonna get hit with champagne hold on hold on i gotta move um no, maybe I'll move into it. Maybe I need to lean into the champagne. Yeah, don't move. Open your mouth. It's a wonderful moment. It's very, very exciting, and the girls deserve this.

Oh, it is just so incredible. Emotional scenes as we're watching on the TV right now as well as doing a radio show. It just is incredible, and it's awesome to know as well they're getting a huge payday as well for winning the World Cup. Yeah, so the ICC does payday as well for winning the World Cup. Yeah, so the ICC, there's pay parity for the women in this World Cup. And it's awesome. It's very exciting.

You know, these young women can, God, they can do whatever they want. Whatever they want, mate. They can retire. Money now, it's buying a house. You know, I mean, I don't think everyone should be shouting them drinks. I don't have to worry about that for a while. But this is a huge moment. It's been a tough road for these fabulous women and this group of people. And they're a special group of people.

And we're very, very excited for them. How are they feeling? Because I saw that you got to speak to a couple of them before the ceremony. How are they feeling? Excited. Summer shops. Susie Bates described it as she thinks she's been in a car accident and someone's forgotten to wake her up um it's it's a real it's a really great moment um and they're

very excited and so they should be uh this is this is huge and i know the times at home haven't been great for people to get up and watch uh which is a real shame but um hopefully there'll be plenty of replays of this one on because absolutely took it to South Africa from the very first ball. There was no doubt that this was New Zealand's trophy. They were prepared. They were well executed with their plans. They were brilliant, and I feel really proud. I feel really emotional.

I've got a daughter, and I know she was up watching this with her dad, and I think it's one of those sporting things that, you know, I certainly remember getting up watching sporting events with my dad. And to think this is one that it's the women winning the World Cup, like, oh, it's wicked. Oh, it's incredible. First ever World Cup victory for the women. They won the 50-over format about 24 years ago.

But it's just an incredible performance. Well-deserved. Laura McGoldrick, we'll let you get back to it. But thank you so much for your time this morning. Thanks, guys. Say congrats to the girls for us. You're just holding me up from a drink. Okay, all right.

Go and party. Thank you. Good morning, New Zealand. Get into it. Bye. Laura McGoldrick live from the T20 World Cup in Dubai, the White Ferns. She's partying. We're still listening to you, Laura.

She's hung up now. Okay, there we go. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. He's been living in the neighbourhood for about a year and a half or so, and he's gone. He's discovered a local pizza shop. Right. So he goes to the pizzeria sort of once every fortnight,

and he's become, you know, on a first-name basis with the charismatic, he says he's a charismatic, frazzled Italian man behind the counter. Now, it's a husband and wife shop, sort of a small suburban pizza shop. And he says every time this guy tells a story with his voice and his hand gestures, it seems like it's the most important story in the world. But it could be him just talking about how he's got a $12 parking ticket. But I love that about Italians. Passionate people.

Yeah, they are. And he's got to a point now, he said the last three times he's picked up his pizza, he'll walk into the shop and the guy's busy. Hey, hey, hey, hey. And then the phone will ring. And he says to my friend, the customer, you answer the phone for me. So then he has to hop behind the counter. And then he has to take the phone orders

He's like, okay, you want one garlic pizza? Okay, you want a ham and cheese? He's like, we don't have ham and cheese this evening So he's kind of Wow And his issue is he's getting no discount on his pizza Oh, so he's not like, hey mate, thanks for helping out The free labour is getting him nothing at all

This guy's just like, oh, this is what something that my customers would do Would answer the phone I mean, I guess the guy knows he loves his pizza. He's been providing him with wonderful pizza. But at the same time, it feels like that's an extra step too far. You had a cafe. Would you have ever got anyone to? No, but my friend, she goes to the same place every Friday.

And it got to the point where they were like, if you want to jump behind the, you know, thing behind here and do some dishes, we'll give you a free coffee. So she started doing that. She doesn't get paid, but she gets a free coffee. For doing dishes? How many dishes justifies a free coffee? I think she just kind of clears what's there at the time. That's not a bad deal, is it? Maybe it could be, you know, cost of living crisis,

a bit of a bartering system. How much work do I need to do to get, say, a free lunch? Free drink? Free beer? I guess if you've got time. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know how anyone's going to turn a profit.

It's okay. Like, you go into, well, like, a sandwich, like a Subway, but there's no one working there. It's like, well, help yourself with the lunch. Free labour. Because you're doing the labour for free. Anyway, he just wanted to get the message across that maybe this guy and his wife could look to maybe hire some help.

The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. it was a big week for us last week we were traveling around the country lots of fun but um like probably didn't go to sleep as early as i should have so i went into the weekend a little bit tired you look tired didn't she oh well excuse me friday but better meal up i thought i thought maybe i would like catch up because they wouldn't be with the kids. I was like, oh, I can get to bed early. Didn't happen. So over the weekend, I was like, now's my chance to catch up. That didn't happen either.

The kids up in the night and stuff. So I got to Sunday and we went out. I was like really keen for a chill weekend. Went out to a 30th. On Sunday? No, on Saturday night. And then Sunday there was activities during the day. So we ended up driving home.

You're just describing Ben's perfect weekend right now. Stuff to do. Talk activities to me. Come on. More, more. But it was great. Great fun. But I was so tired.

And we managed to time it so we'd drive home right when my daughter was to have a nap. So we got to the driveway, which I don't remember because I was passed out. And my daughter fell asleep. We were like, great, nap time in the car. But my son fell asleep too. So my husband pulls up in the driveway and he's like, okay, mom. All three of you are asleep. All three are asleep.

My family is asleep. So he wound down the window and – or all the windows and had a sleep as well. Oh, so you joined in. So all of us, apparently, were asleep in the car in the driveway.

If we came out to visit, I'd be like, is everything okay? Do I call the police? I know. I was like, are you sure that's okay? Because the neighbours

would be like, are they all right? I was mouth open. I know. If I have anything, you'd be like, well, this is my chance

to have the house to myself. Exactly. And given, he's like you, Ben, you'd be like, well, this is my chance to have the house to myself. Exactly. And given he's like you, Ben, he likes to go, go, go and do things. He's a bed inside. I imagine you have a bed. I haven't been to your house. I think initially maybe he was just going to watch over us,

but then he fell asleep too. And then an hour later. It was hot yesterday afternoon in the car. He was nice enough to crack a window. Yeah, well, that's lovely. Round down the window. Well one of your great fears while we were on the tour last week was us taking photos of you while

you were asleep. You're like one rule if I'm asleep no one takes a photo of me. I did fall asleep didn't I? Only briefly I snored in the car I've got my whole career I've had photos of me to being asleep. There's even a little sub account on the hits breakfast called Sleepy Johnuk. Just had photos of me to being a cinema. There's even a little sub-account on The Hits Breakfast called Sleepy Jono.

Just with shots of me sleeping in various locations. I have taken a photo of you asleep in a cinema, but you never specified that I wasn't allowed to. Fair enough, that's the only rule. Well, speaking of the Never Have You Ever Tour, we're going to recap it next. What a wonderful week it was. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.

Chat GPT. If you're not a fay with it, it's kind of like Google on steroids, isn't it, on the internet, where you can just type in any bit of information and it will gather it for you. And what I'm using it for a lot too is I'm terrible at grammar, spelling, punctuation. If I write an email, I put in chat GP,

I'm like, make this, you know, turn this into an email, which makes me seem far more educated than i actually am and boom 0.5 a second wow it's full stop do you do that every time no no no bigger emails and it's incredible how quickly it spits it out and yeah and then it's almost like a little secretary sometimes isn't it they'll go tell me if you want that you know if you want to you know like ask for changes feedback and gives you reasons behind why it's done yeah although every time i because sometimes you enter in information and it says memory updating and

there's the moment where i'm like are we just spoon feeding this thing every piece of information we know and it's going to use it yes oh probably that's exactly what it does in the future they always talk about the roblox coming to get us well this is it this is it and i'm like oh well at least it puts some full stops on my email. But now I've turned to using it for affirmation. Okay, so when you feel bad about something in your life, I've been asking it over the last week, a whole bunch of questions to make myself feel better.

So I literally said, okay, if I ate two burgers and three chocolate bars today, and it came back, boom, 0.5 of a second. Hey, that's totally fine. It's always good to treat yourself. And you can make up for another day. All right, just enjoy the treats. I'm like, thanks, ChatGPT. And then I'm like, I only exercised once this week.

Totally fine. Working out once a week, that's still a win. Here's the bright side. Try and up it next week a little bit, but celebrate the progress. I'm like, thank you, chat GPT. That's good. And I'm like, am I a bad person for not giving to the child who knocked on my door raising money for the legless puppy? Not at all.

It's totally fine not to give to charity sometimes. There's a balance. And remember, there's always going to be another time you're doing just fine. And I was like like is there anything i can't type into this thing and it's going to make me feel better about life so then i really pushed the limits i leveled it up i said i've siphoned the entire life savings out of a sweet elderly lady's bank account through an elaborate online scam am i a bad person chat gpt this is the this is the line in the sand for chat gpt uh yeah it's pretty bad and then they had that emoji with the you in the sand for ChatGPT. Ah, yeah, it's pretty bad. And then they had that emoji with the wincing emoji.

Definitely not the kind of thing that falls under harmless oopsies. I hope this is a joke. Ha, good one. If not, then you definitely need to seek help to get back on the right track and return the money. So that was the point. It's just got some morals. Yeah. More than me.

Yeah, when it's all our bosses in like six months' time, at least it's got a little bit of morals to work with there. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. White Ferns are just one ball away from winning the T20. Shall we cross live to Sky Sport now? Well, yeah. Okay, so Rogue, here we go, right now.

There it is. New Zealand have done it. They have killed their Everest. How good. There we go, right now. There it is, New Zealand have done it. They have killed their Everest. They were there in 2010, those two ladies. They have now emulated the winning World Cup team. How good, fireworks going off in the stadium, huge embraces from the White fans. They have etched their names in history.

Incredible. New Zealand won our first ever World Cup victory, well done to the White Ferns. It's incredible. So good. Jeez, there's a bomb spent on the fireworks too.

a lot of admin on. It's funny because you arrive back and you're like, oh, I've been touring up and down the country. I'm exhausted. And then the household's been operating just fine without you. Oh, yeah, better. Probably better without us. You come in and you're like, oh, my God, dear me.

Imagine being a rock star. That was as close as we'll feel to a rock star returning home from tour. Came home, had a few things to get through on the weekend. And then the kids, for some reason, they remember, which is lovely, the dog's birthday every year. So it's Bo's birthday. I'm like, oh, great. Bo doesn't know if it's his birthday, whatever it is.

What does he get for his birthday? Well, that's the thing. Normally, you know, we just, just, I took him on a walk. It was like that. We gave him extra pets as well. But I didn't realize one of my daughters had made special biscuits. Actually baked special biscuits. I came home and ate one of those.

They're for the dog. Were they nice? They actually were nice. They weren't made of dog food, but they were made more for a dog anyway. So that was one animal incident over the weekend. But then the second one is out with my daughter, and I get a call from my wife. She's like, the cat had brought in a mouse.

A little baby mouse. The cat loves bringing in little mouse or rats and stuff like that. Huge win for the cat, isn't it? And usually brings it in, and they're not – yeah, they're still okay. They're not de-maimed or anything like that. But this little mouse, little tiny mouse, apparently according to my wife, was running around trying to get it.

She's like, I've finally got this mouse. What do I do now? And my wife's a vegetarian. She's an animal lover. I'm like, well, it's up to you. It's the dog's birthday. Yeah, the dog. To angle it by the tail.

Some people, you know, and there's probably hardened people in the South Island, would probably end that mouse. What would you do with it? I don't know. No, say on the radio what you would have done with it. I've got too much of a conscience now. You know, so I was like, she's like, I can't kill it.

I'm like, that's fine. I said, well, release it. And she's like, oh, I'm worried if I'm going to release it too close to the house, I'll just come back inside again. I'm like, well, take it out the road. And then my wife was like, but then it's away from its family. And I'm like, oh, why are you calling me? I'm giving you three options right now.

The first one, no one's keen to end the mouse's life. Then I might release it. And now she started thinking about the consequences of the mouse being away from its family. So in the end, I think she took it like halfway between, like a little bit up the road, but enough that the mouse could find its way back. It'd be like a Disney tale, an adventure. Yeah, and then released it back. How do you know the mouse's family, where were they located?

Exactly. Do they all live together as a family? I don't know. If it was a baby mouse, yeah, probably. Jumped to a lot of conclusions on the mouse as well. I was worried your cat was just going to find it again. It hasn't come back into the house. The mouse is not back into the house yet, but I'll keep you mouse as well. I was worried your cat was just going to find it again. It hasn't come back into the house. The mouse is not back into the house yet, but I'll keep you updated as well.

It was quite a cute little mouse from the video. So, you know. But, yeah. So, it's still alive. Well, as of Saturday morning. So, there you go. I can't even kill spiders. I tag and release spiders out of my house.

We are losing the South Island. Okay. Bring the cred back up. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. So we spent last week travelling around the country. Our now never have you ever tour, thanks to gas petrol service stations, making your nevers come true, ended it.

Actually, Friday afternoon, taking some people to Rainbow's Inn for the first time and Megan and I, we got to ride the roller coaster together and here's Megan. It's very high. Very high, yeah. The roller coaster and your screaming are both very high. Recording that through my pocket,

I was worried that the audio wouldn't be able to be picked up. But no, definitely, no problem. It does sound like a joke, Boyle. You're right. Three layers of clothing there of the illicit recordings. But we learned a lot about each other, didn't we over the week? Megan will never wear Crocs, not even out of the radio show. Ben Boyce can squeeze in exercise anywhere

in a short time frame. We had the biggest day and we had like 20 minutes downtime and he's like off to do exercise. You give him seven to nine minutes, he'll do some exercise. Big week of memories though and in case you have an issue with short-term memory loss, well, then we have compiled this handy little montage for you of the Never Have You Ever week. Now, Megan, last night as we were flying to Christchurch, we decided to make a little girl's dream come true.

I have a very special lolly runner up in front of the aircraft. See Megan's dream to hand out the lollies on an Amy Dillon flight. Would you like a lolly, sir? Sorry, I don't take lollies to strangers. What have you never, ever done in your life there, Emily? I've never eaten oysters before. It doesn't smell the best. I'm like shaking.

Doing too much chewing. She's chewing too much. She's got her hand over her mouth. She's not looking good. She's wincing. I didn't like it. Didn't like it. Shane, this is going to be punting for the first time.

Welcome to Christchurch. It's a beautiful day for us. Megan, what can you see now? Ducklings. How many? Oh, my God, there's so many. So we're inside the helicopter now. Ellie, final words from you?

Just really excited. Thanks, guys. Okay, we're going to fire up now. What a ride. That was amazing. Thank you guys so much. If you've ever ridden a helicopter, take it off the list, Ellie. So cryotherapy goes down to minus 87 degrees this one.

The key thing when you go in there, team, is not to have anything wet on. There's been some bad stories come out of the NBA when players went in with wet jocks on. It doesn't end well for... Here was us at minus 87. Oh, look at that. Oh, my God. Oh, Jesus.

Today, if you're keen, would you like to go on the plane ride for the first time? I would love that. Thank you. I was a young mum, so there was no OEs or travelling in my 20s. And yeah, I've just always been, unfortunately, at the bottom of the priority list. Well, this is exciting, Philippa. Oh, no. Don't make me wear something stupid.

Where are my Buzz Lightyear Crocs? Because I'm thinking you've never worn Crocs in your life. I have never worn Crocs in my life. And I thought for today, they even light up too. They even light up as well. Oh, wow. The light up Buzz Lightyear one. Put the Crocs on now. Let's even light up too. They even light up as well. Oh, wow. The light up buzz light year one. Put the Crocs on now.

Let's see how they look. No, no. My dream would be to take my teenage son to Rainbow's End. He's never been and it's something that he's always wanted to do. Shonto, Ben and Megan from the Hits radio station. We're just hearing how you'd love to go to Rainbow's End. Oh, yes. It's always been a goal.

Oh, that's a great goal. You keep that goal up, buddy, and have a great day. Oh, no, no. We're going to make it happen this week. How would you like to go this week? Oh, that'd be awesome. Have you been on a roller coaster before? Never.

What a week it was, eh? It's like when your friends come back from an overseas trip and make you sit down and look at all their photos in the 90s, doesn't it? Now you can just skip through it and give it a heart on Instagram in about half a second. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. It feels like we need to talk about it again. The White Ferns this morning in the T20 Women's World Cup.

Incredible performance from them. They'd lost 10 in a row heading into the tournament and then they've won they won the World Cup final this morning there it is New Zealand have done it they have etched

They get a good cash payment to each, which is great.

He said, yeah, I'm commentating it right now. People have got no milk at home, Stephen. And talk now that they want it back here in New Zealand, the America's Cup.

Well, they do want it back here, but I think it's very unlikely. It's going to come back. Yeah, I think it's quite expensive. They make a lot more money going overseas, but well done to Team New Zealand. Then you need to go through some of the other sporting performances over the weekend. Silver Ferns smashed Australia in the netball. The cricketers, the black caps, the men's, they won against India, which doesn't happen very often. Third win in like 37 attempts. What's happening to us at the moment, New Zealand?

Why the port? They're like, protect the port. I guess Auckland's a city that's got... Oh, Auckland ports. Yeah, the ports of Auckland. They're worried about what's coming through in the container ships. Yeah. Protect the port.

Is this his first Formula One race, Megan? Well, he has raced before when he filled in for Daniel Ricciardo But yeah, he's got a seat for the rest of the season So he's a Kiwi We've just been learning a little bit about him

Originally from Hastings Pukakohe was where he raced a lot as a young kid Grew up there And this is his first time really As the head driver, right? Team RB. And he's currently at 11th spot. If he makes it to 10th and beyond, he starts getting points.

I remember I asked you half an hour ago, he could get top 10. He was starting 19th. You're like, never. Now he's teetering. Yeah. That would be an amazing result. Remember I met him a couple of months ago. And I punished him.

Yeah, you tell us every day. I punished him with a chat. And he is so lovely. So I'm really excited for him. How was your Formula One chat with Liam Lawson? Was it good? He said to me twice, that's a great question. That's a great question.

Twice. I was asking about all kinds of systems with the steering wheel and the DRS system. Do you know what that is? He's like, this Punisher. He was into it. He's like, yeah, I know how the steering wheel works You love it So we'll bring you

Yeah. And maybe some things we've forgotten about, we haven't mentioned. Yeah. Maybe the social netball team had a huge win. Yeah. Maybe. That feels just as epic, you know Yeah, maybe the social netball team had a huge win. Yeah.

Maybe. That feels just as epic, you know, when you win social netball. And we all treat it. Maybe the under sevens bare knuckle cage fighting championship. You took out that? The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. All right, so we are here to celebrate the lesson on sporting achievements of the audience. This is the platform for you to get your mainstream media coverage

right now on 0800THEHITS. Did you achieve anything in the sporting realm over the weekend there, Megan Pappas? No, I told you before I had to sleep in my driveway. That's a win. That's a win. Played some frisbee? You played some frisbee? Did you?

Did you catch the frisbee? I did catch the frisbee. Do it where, where, where, no matter what. It's called a Robie frisbee. A Jack Black guy, she got me into that, not because he recommended it, just when he was walking around town, I saw him with a Frisbee around his neck, and it was one of those Robie Frisbees.

I bought one. Jeez, they're good. Did you just buy it because Jack Black was wearing it? Yes, yes, right around his neck. The ultimate influencer. I know. He didn't even say to me they're good or anything. I just saw them around his neck.

I saw one in the shop and they were really good. And are they consistent or very accurate? They fly a lot better because they've got a halo. You can put it around your neck. Did you put it around your neck? I haven't copped quite to that Cool Jack Black stage. I just carry it in my hand. Does it get some good distance?

It does get really good. I'll bring it in one day. It's not too bad. Why don't you start playing Frisbee? It's a great sport. You don't play enough Frisbee out there. Mel, less than no sporting achievements this morning. What was yours over the weekend, Mel?

Good morning. I play golf. the weekend, Mel? Good morning. I played golf. How'd you go on the golf? Some holes were great and some holes were terrible. That's golf, though. That sums up golf for me every time I play it. Something great. I'm like, this is the greatest game ever.

The next time, I'm like, oh, this game sucks. Was it your first time playing golf, was it, Mel? No, no. I used to play a lot of golf, but I've been quite unwell for many years. And so it was nice to get back out there. Oh, good on you. Well, I'm glad you had a good weekend. And to celebrate that sporting success, we're going to give you some pizza.

And that's awesome. Great achievements well done to Thames Valley and the Meads Cup. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. We were on our Never Have You Ever tour last week, travelling around the country, the North Island and the South Island, making your nevers come true thanks to gas petrol service stations. It was a lot of fun. We met some wonderful people, did some really, really cool

things. It was a full-on week, looking back on it, wasn't it? It was very accommodating everywhere we went. It was lovely to meet everyone. Even things that we hadn't organised, we'd just sort of show up, like punting on the Avon. We're like, can we do this? And they're like, yeah, sure.

And including this attraction in Whangarei. We just entered. I always wanted to go there because I often stop off next to it to see my mum, on the way to see my mum. And I was like, there's the Clapham's National Clock Museum. It's just sitting there. Probably New Zealand's only clock museum. So this is what we want to open on 0800 The Hits.

The niche tourist attractions that you have visited. And we've got some beauties don't we? We've got the old bra fence. Oh yeah, by Kadrona. Oh yeah. But now at some point it was just one, some visionary hero who left a single bra on there. Yeah. What was the story behind the first bra? I don't know.

Because then you would drive past and you'd go, oh someone's lost their bra, which is unusual in any case. I think it got stopped too. At one stage they took it down and then, because people were like, oh, you can't be doing this. But then everyone complained and were like, hang on, no, this is great. Bring it back. And I think there is some sort of breast cancer

tie into it now as well, which is awesome. But yeah, if you saw one lone bra, who was the person that was like, would you go, go oh your first initiative is to take off your bra and add it to the collection probably not because they're expensive

and I want to keep it on shout out to the second third and fourth people who did it they're the real heroes aren't they if you saw a pair of underpants dangling off a wire fence

first thing you do whip them off and add it to the collection there's plenty of shoes in my neighbourhood over the wires and I don't ever throw my shoes up there

maybe there's someone trying to start a shoe, like a shoe kit. That's what it's for. But yeah, here we are at the Clock Museum. Have a listen to it. Now we're inside the National Clock Museum. Clapham's Clock Museum. Clapham's Clock

Museum. You've really got to get your mouth around that don't you? First question, what's the time? You looked at your watch too. There's so many on the walls behind you. This is the only clock that has the correct time. Oh, so only one clock. Out of how many clocks are here? Oh, close to 1,500.

1,500 clocks and only one clock tells the correct time? Oh, yes. Because we're going to say download savings was a couple of weeks ago. Yes. So you don't have to go through and change every clock. No. At home, I have on go through and change every clock. No. At home, I have on the wall a Mickey Mouse clock with the Mickey Mouse hands. Would you like that in the clock museum one day when I pass?

Well, we've actually got one. Oh, you've got one? Okay. So the Mickey Mouse one. Yahoo! Yahoo! Have a nice day. Yahoo!

Yeah, the novelty of that would never wear off. Your wife would hate that. Oh, here's another one. Here's a rooster or a big... I like that one. That's great. And is there a... Thomas the Tank Engine?

Thomas knows very good, like, maybe Japanese or something. Yeah. This one. There's a spider one. Oh, that's a good one. Oh, that one. Well, hey, listen, thank you for letting us into the clock museum, and it's quite a sight to behold.

Why don't you go and have a look? Listen to all the ticking. That would slowly drive you to insanity. So there you go, the clock museum, the Clapham's Clock Museum, 1500 clocks. So this is what we want to open up, your niche tourist attractions. Maybe it's something in your town that, you know, everyone that comes along has got to see the big, you know,

L&P bottle and Pairoa and things like that. The hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Now, as part of it, we got to experience the best of New Zealand, including the Clapham's Clock Museum, which I've always wanted to go inside. Lots of clocks. National Clock Museum. Lots of ticking.

Yeah. Honestly, I walked in there going, this will be a fun place to mock. And then we got in there and were like, it's actually really good. It's really fun. It is interesting, yeah. Although we got to touch some of the

things that you weren't allowed to touch which was quite we're not allowed to touch them well no the lady said we could

but then it had signs next to something please don't touch don't touch the clocks hands off the clock

it's always our rule right here at work as well it did sound like a nightmare in there though yeah it did

but ticking clocks thank you for letting us in and we look around so we're after the niche tourist attractions uh this morning 0800 that hits 4487 the ones that you've uh you've attended there's always like some battler on state highway 32s i'll start up an aluminium museum or a corrugated iron museum uh you know it's just

an accumulation of stuff that he's collected over a number of years and the wife's like okay i guess we we had the train we went to a train one where was that um accumulation of stuff that he's collected over a number of years and the wife's like okay i guess we we had the train we went to a train one where was that um yeah it was um and uh oh geez it's wild and uh a whole shed he's got toy model toy trains it was really impressive but all you wanted to do was like touch the stuff and then did john he was not and they looked at john i was like, nah. I was winding him up. Can I touch that? No. Can I move this person? Can I do this thing?

Can I do that? No. Purely looking at it. But Megan, I can tell, I can hear the sarcasm in your voice. I was just thinking

his poor wife or partner. No, she was lovely. She was lovely. Was it Biddy? Yeah, Biddy, yeah. She had started her own butter museum. Yeah, she was making,

we made butter with Biddy. We made butter. Yeah. She was a very smart lady. She was. Scientist, yeah. So then we made butter with her. We made butter. Yeah. She was a very smart lady. She was. Scientist, yeah. So then it was an eclectic mix of tourism. You can come and look at toy model trains or churn your own butter.

I hope that place is still going. It was great. It was really fun. Unfortunately, the phones are playing up this morning. So a few texts coming through on 4487, niche tourist attractions around the world. There's some beauties. Guys, i was in this uh in america in st louis bubble gum alley there's an entire alleyway which is just floor

to wall covered with people's chewing gum that they've stuck there oh like so people have chewed it and actually over here thousands of thousands of pieces of chewed gum stuck to the wall but at first it was littering now it's a... I thought it was going to be like the history of bubble gum. No, it's just... Information. No, it's just chewed gum on the wall.

I thought it was bubble gum. Another great one here. We were travelling with my family through Europe when I was a kid and things were desperate. We ended up going to an umbrella cover museum in England.

Oh, so not just for umbrellas. No, just, you know, how you slip the sleeve over the top of the umbrella. Oh, the thing that you lose straight away. It's got to be the most niched thing. It's always semi-erotic putting on one of those, isn't it?

One of those umbrellas. Someone's obviously collected them. It is, because you've got to wrap your whole hand around them. And when I was living in Texas, guys, I went to San Antonio and went to the toilet seat museum. Thousands and thousands of toilet seats. Were they up or down?

If it was owned by a male, they'd all be up. Well, thank you very much for your text. Really do appreciate it. Jackson's actually phoned through on 0800 The Hits. Niche attraction there, Jackson. What was it? Lazy Boy Seats. Where was that? Fitzroy. Fitzroy? in Australia?

No, no, it's a place just outside New Plymouth. Oh, so how many Lazy Boy seats do they have? Oh, there are heaps of them. What, like hundreds? Maybe about 50. Oh, that's enough. That's a lot. Comfortable seats.

Are you allowed to sit on them? Yeah, yeah. I sample to sit on them? Yeah, yeah. I sample to sit on them. Yeah, right, the Lazy Boy Museum. With 50 Lazy Boys would take up a lot of space. It would, yeah. Yeah, it was all on one floor. Yeah, is it a must-see, Jackson?

Yeah. I need the entry, though. Yeah. You might get a bit bored. Yeah, right, what's the entry fee? It's free. Oh. Can't be that.

That's great. You can't be that. Go and do yourself a favour. And you get a nice comfortable seat as well. Well, win-win. Next time we're in Taranaki, we are visiting the Lazy Boy Museum in Fitzroy. Don't you guys treat me.

We should. We could do a tour next tour. A tour of a niche attraction. A niche attraction tour. Yes. We're back on the road next week The hits The Jono and Ben podcast We travelled around the country

Thanks to our guests And we made your nevers come true Including some nevers for ourselves as well And after we left Whangarei on Friday We had to race back to Rainbow's End To take someone to the theme park For the first time Yeah

Neville, Theta and Crystal Had never been to Rainbow's End to take someone to the theme park for the first time. Yeah, Neville, Theta and Crystal had never been to Rainbow's End and specifically never been on a roller coaster, so we met them. We've been told to talk really loud because of the soundtrack of Rainbow's End. Hopefully you can hear us, but it's your guys' first time at Rainbow's End. Yes. Oh, it's great. Are you brave enough to go on the rollercoaster with us for the first time? Oh, yeah. Yep.

No, not for you? No. Okay, we can do this. Okay, so you went and sat next to Megan on the rollercoaster. Yeah, I wanted to record the audio for radio but also you can't have your phones out so I had my phone in my pocket and I was like,

I'll record through my pocket and hopefully it'll get to hear the in my pocket and I was like, I'll record through my pocket and hopefully it will get to hear the two of us. And Megan's like, I just want to let you know, I'm a bit of a screamer. She's a screamer. Is this the first time she's told you she's a screamer on theme park rides?

That's right. I'm a goofy laugh. You know, like I'm like riding next to Goofy from Disneyland. You've either got silent, laughter or screaming, don't you? The three options.

Oh, God. Here we go. Oh, my God. Here we go, Megan. Here we go, Megan. Here we go. Here we go. We've got to go.

You are a screamer on the roller coaster. Yes. You are a screamer on the roller coaster. I don't think I could do that now if I tried. There's a whole other person coming out there. Remind me of one of those old school kettles, you know, where they just go off and they make that loud pitching noise as well. But thank you very much to Rainbows End, New Zealand's premier theme park, for helping us make a never come true. Yeah, and Theta and Neville, they had an absolute blast on the roller coaster.

Okay, we did it. How was it? First time. Awesome? How about you? It was good. You like coming to terms with it? Yeah.

I'll do that again. Neville was doing quite a lot of taunting. Oh, where am I? Look how high we are. We're about to go. And then I was like, oh no, here we go. Here we go, here we go.

Ah, I lost my mind. Megan, you screamed a lot. I did. I've got a sore throat because I scream so much. So, yeah, thank you to Rainbow's End. And what a, you know,

a great way to end a metaphorical rollercoaster of a week on a rollercoaster. Rainbow's End where the fun never ends. Well, the fun officially ends when you're stuck

on the southern motorway driving back home.
