And I was like, no, what's that?

She's like, well, Bo's definitely like... They could have put an eggplant or something there. Put something there for the dog. It's all on display. But I mean, poor dogs, they don't know the protocol

when it comes to discretion of certain body parts, do they? No, no. I mean, it could be worse. There could have been bits popping out and stuff, but it's, you know. What I love about dogs too

is that they literally have no idea what is happening next in their life. So no wonder they get so excited about things. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because they don't know, like, you can't schedule in a dog's calendar and go, hey, next week we're going to go to the beach and you're going to have a hell of a time. Like, they can't get excited.

They're just like, oh, we're in the car. Okay, where are we going now? Is it the vet? No, no. Oh, no. Their heads must just be, they must just have their mind blowing Like they can't get excited They're just like Oh we're in the car Okay Where are we going now Is it the vet No no Oh no Their heads must just be They must just have their mind Blowing multiple times a day

Yeah you're right Because they don't know Like when you're going to Turn up at home either So they're like Who's coming over Yeah Must be a wild ride

Took Milo My little dog To pick up Poppy From school yesterday Oh Parked He leapt out The driver's window Out the window Out the window Bang Straight down the middle And my little dog to pick up Poppy from school yesterday. Oh, shh. Parked. He leapt out the driver's window.

Out the window? Out the window. Bang, straight down the middle of the road. And you know he's fast. He's like a greyhound on steroids. And then this three o'clock, kids everywhere, boots into the school. And he's sprinting around. There's like fiasco.

30 children chasing him. And he's going, ah. And I'm trying to chase him as well. 10 minutes, he goes missing sprinting around the school couldn't find him so that was my day yesterday and you're like oh god

now I'm that guy like running around the parents are like just put a leash on your bloody dog mate you know the teachers are like no dogs on the ground I'm like I know

find a chance he wouldn't be in here right now now it's a huge week for sports in New Zealand I know. Find a chance. He wouldn't be in here right now. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Now, it's a huge week for sport in New Zealand. It's been great because you've been able to say that for the last four weeks. Huge weekend of sport coming up. Huge weekend. It's great for your average radio announcer to just get that information out there.

Because otherwise you'd be scrambling going, oh, there's, you know, the Tarapa burnouts are happening this weekend or something. But you don't have to do that. No. So the Black Caps, the cricket team, they play tonight in the semifinal of the T20 World Cup. So if they win tonight against Pakistan, they're in the final this weekend. Pakistan lost to the Netherlands or something, didn't they? Yeah, there's been a whole lot of upsets in the tournament.

I only know that because I overheard you two talking about it. Yeah. It sounded like I knew what I was talking about. Obviously, the Black Ferns are very excited about that. I've got my tickets last night. They released a few more tickets. So I got on there at 6 o'clock and got the tickets. Where are you sitting?

On the roof? Yeah, up top. Up top. But hey, it's going along to the World Cup final. Pretty pumped about that one. Yeah, that'll be great. They released some more last night. And then the Kiwis in the rugby league, they're playing this weekend the semifinal against

Australia. And the organisers over there have got to predict because there's not so many flights going around so they've got to predict who they think's going to lose

to get flights so they've booked the Kiwis on the Monday the day after on the plane so they're playing Australia are they in the semis so the organisers

have gone we can't afford to keep them here in hotels and wait for the next flight we've got to make a prediction there's not many flights going out of the UK so we'll have to book the Kiwis on the flight the day after. Well, that's a bad omen, isn't it?

Yeah, $400 each ticket, apparently, to change it if we win. So that's a good motivation for the Kiwi team, though, isn't it? No one wanted you here. No, they've got to pay. They didn't get a flexi fare. Now they've got to transfer you over to another flight. But you don't think about that stuff when you're sitting watching, like even the Rugby World Cup that's going on here at the moment.

There must be so many people working behind the scenes on logistics. We don't appreciate that. They haven't organised hotel rooms and flights and buses and extra seating for people like you who demand to go to the rugby. Yeah, yeah. Do you know this? It's a stat I'm going to use a lot of times this morning because I think it's really interesting. First time you've ever had to pay to go to the Black Ferns is this World Cup.

First time the games have been charged to go. They've played in games before where they've sort of double-headed with the All Blacks. But the first time people were paid to go to games. And you couldn't even get tickets. You know, as I say, the tickets were a demand. Jeez, they've really gone from zero to 100. And it's awesome. It shows, you know, with a bit of coverage,

a bit of support and stuff like that, it shows how the game can flourish. And so can we go to the All Blacks for free now? Well, yeah, but maybe that's the thing. Is that the thing? We go to the All Blacks. Yeah, don't worry about it, mate. We're all about the All Blacks.

The All Blacks, I mean, we've been paying tickets for years. Yeah, so it's awesome. So we're fully behind the Black Ferns. Don't worry about it, mate. We're all about the Black Ferns. You're Blacks to me. We've been playing tickets for years. Yeah. So it's awesome. So we're fully behind the Black Ferns this weekend. It's going to be such a massive game. Saturday night versus England at Eden Park. Scrolling through your feed. He's just blown on the breathalyzer.

And uh-oh, he's over the limit for current events being what's happening. Well, you might have seen this on the social media last night. It was being sent around by everyone. This was on Australia. This was on the news. I'm not sure exactly what news broadcast and to be honest I don't really care what news broadcast. I don't think we should give it as much attention as it is because what the news presenter was saying, they were having a crack at 660 and one of the posters they had for the concert,

and being in Te Reo and have a listen to this. In New Zealand at the moment there's been a big push to be more inclusive of the Maori, of the Maori language, the so-called iwi. There's a lot of new language coming in. I'm going to show you this poster. Here's a poster for a pop group which was sent to me called 6060, 660 or whatever. It's all in Maori.

There's not a word of English anywhere in there. Shocking, eh? Good pronunciation too. Nailing the toe. I don't know what to say with that. You've got no words to say with that. Well, they had a wonderful response, 660, anywhere in there. or 660 or whatever at the end of the video. And you said they've invited the guy. Yeah, they said that. So put that in the comments. They said free tickets to this guy if he wants to experience some positivity. So really classy response from 660. I don't know if I'd be as classy.

No. I couldn't trust myself. No, you'd just be like, but anyway, I'm glad. That's not the way that New Zealand means to operate 660. We're meant to have our pitchforks out. We're meant to be going in on this guy.

And it's good that the way we are operating in New Zealand when we're embracing this and we're like 660. We're meant to have our pitchforks out. We're meant to be going in on this guy. And it's good that the way we are operating in New Zealand when we're embracing this and we're like 660. So where do I put my pitchfork then? Do I put it back in the shed? Yeah, I think put it back in the shed today. I hope he takes them up on their offer too. Because then you might go to a show and be like, oh, I

understand the importance of this to this country now. Yeah, to New Zealand. Yeah, exactly. And the sexiest man alive has been announced for another year. Chris Evans, who was Captain America,

has been named the sexiest man alive. John, I probably you've got sexiest man alive as to what I do. Good, good. Have I still got that mantle? You've still got that

for the eighth year in a row. Paul Rudd, last year, he was the sexiest man alive. Chris Evans has now said his mum will be happy. She's proud of everything I do, but this is something she can really brag about.

But he's also said he'll be teased by his close friends to the point of bullying. It's ripe for harassment as well. Well, as a mum, you would be proud because you're like, well, there's all my DNA running through there. So I must have some good genes pumping through the body. Now, because when the sexiest man alive comes out, Ben, you know I love to do sexiest man dead.

No, no, no. Are we doing that this year? No. I'll compile my list before nine. No. We don't want to hear you, because it's all wrong. It's like talking ill of people that have passed on. It's not.

Why is it saying, like, Heath Ledger? Well, yeah, you might not be here, but you're still hot. What's wrong with that? This feels wrong. Why is that wrong? It feels wrong. So you're saying dead people can't be attractive? Oh, it is a hit.

See you, John. I'm a bit... The Hits Boarding Call with Visit Anaheim, House of Travel and Fiji Airways. It is the dream family holiday of a lifetime.

No, it's stuck in Auckland traffic. Jeez, already? It's only 6.37. Yeah. Shambles out there. We don't need to hear about your commuting woes, though, Kerry. We want to get you off to Disneyland, mate.

It's not fun. It's not fun. I live on one end of Auckland and work the other end. It's not fun. I know. We don't want to hear about your commuting woes, but you keep going on about them. No, it wouldn't be fun.

It must take you about an hour to get in. A little bit more than that, yeah. No, I've dragged it out. Mate, you're asking questions if you don't want to hear about it. Stop asking questions. You're the one that started this conversation. Oh, no, it's all on me. I'm sorry.

You've got to answer a question, a simple question about Disneyland. Eeyore is a character from what Disney story? Eeyore is in? Winnie the Pooh. That's right. Winnie the Pooh, another pantsless character from what Disney story? Eeyore is in? Winnie the Pooh. That's right. Winnie the Pooh, another pantsless character, isn't he? Winnie the Pooh, roaming around with his honey pot. Yeah, a little T-shirt on and nothing else.

But the pot was almost, because he had quite a big gut, didn't he, Winnie? I don't feel ashamed, Winnie the Pooh. A lot of honey consumption. But he kind of had the pot always appropriately placed in there. And he would just go raw honey. Was it all in stuff? No, I think he just liked just straight honey. Just a face full of honey.

Kerry, that has got you in the draw. Now, the trip is drawn next week. I don't want to say that we're open to bribes, but what I will say is we like money, especially money that can't be traced. Okay? I do too, but I don't really have any. Hey, Kerry, apparently you went to disneyland

on a school trip producer b humps is telling us yeah years ago um that's bad um i did go for a school trip but one of the girls got sick so i spent most of the time in the toilets with her helping her out oh that's one of the greatest rides at Disneyland, isn't it? Yeah. The toilets. What a great school trip. Yeah, it was like an English trip and media studies, so they decided to take us to Disneyland. None of that makes sense. No. It never made sense to us, but we weren't going to complain.

Yeah, you guys, keep your mouth shut. We're going on the trip to Disneyland. I'm going off to bloody camps and the whatever. I went to a weird campadere with some strange guy with kayaks and canoes. Yeah. Yeah, no. Hey, well done, Kerry. Have you got four people in your family you'd like to take?

If not, you need to start making more family members. I don't think I'd take family. I'd probably take some friends. Oh, awesome. Stuff the family, mate. Yeah. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Mila Kunitz, she's a big Hollywood actor, married to Ashton Kutcher as well,

and she was on a far more successful broadcast than us yesterday. Howard Stern in America. Wonderful, wonderful radio show, Howard Stern. Although he's not on radio now, he's on satellite, isn't he? Satellite. Satellite radio where he just makes squillions and squillions of dollars. Doesn't do the rude stuff now. Howard Stern made a huge career,

much like Ben did, you know, getting people to do all sorts of rude stuff on the radio. But he doesn't do that. I don't know how I made my career. Oh,

the stuff you were getting people to do in the studio. The rude stuff. Yeah, but so she made a career. We've talked about her before, how she uses, she'll use coupons

and stuff like that, you know, like even though she's got lots and lots of dollars she'll use coupons but it's interesting uh the finance and in their fam and her family have a listen to her talking about her parents right now never took a dime from you never which is unusual when you think about their economic situation we were really poor and i had money i've never been able to pay for dinner like to this day i've never like i i'll be like let's go out to dinner for your birthday dad and then like he calls the restaurant before we get there and puts his card down and I'm like I don't like I'm a grown-ass woman like I would love to treat you and

mommy to something and they're like no they won't let you spoil them at all my god Howard this has been a huge never What if you said to them, I want to help you with a new house or something. I want you to. Howard. Howard. Nothing. I cannot stress to you how stubborn they are. Wow.

And by the way, they're going to be listening to this. Howard. Howard. Howard. Howard. That is a very. And obviously they made a pact between themselves, mom and dad, that they would never take from her.

Moved to America, their family with only $250 in their pockets to start a new life in America and they won't take any of her money. Still more than Macklemore. He had $20 in his pocket, didn't he? When he went to thrift shopping. Thrift shopping. He loved the thrift shop.

They could have had a field day at the thrift shop. And don't let my kids get any ideas, okay? If you are successful, I'll be mooching off you for decades until the day I die. So, but that's very, that's a lovely story,

isn't it? It is. It is lovely. You're right. Although, when do you put your pride aside and go, our daughter's worth

billions of dollars? She can buy us a house. Yeah. Oh, yeah. All right. We'll get a nice house. Hey,

before seven o'clock this morning, a brand new show. It's on television again this week. Yeah, it's from the 80s. You know,

when I had hair on my head and hope in my heart, Ben Boyce. That's right. The hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Now, it's from the 80s, you know, when I had hair on my head and hope in my heart, Ben Boyce. That's right. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Now, Siani's Wedding, it was a huge, huge movie

and now there's a prequel to it with the same characters when they were kids from Siani's Wedding. It's called Duck Rockers on TVNZ2. It's a very cool intro, this. It's a real flashback

to the 80s, growing up in the 80s. And our next guest, you'll know her from Shortland Street being the station voice of the hits. And of course, Siani's winning as well. Now she's written, produced and acted in the prequel to it. Duck Rockers, as I said before, it's on TVNZ2 tonight. Toela Blakely and one of the young stars of the show, Tiare, joined us in the studio.

Good morning, guys. How are you? Good morning. We're great. Lovely to be here, guys. Good to have you. We're very excited about Duck Rockers. Thank you. Thank you. And of course, you know, we're going back to the 1980s,

which I'm sure both of you will know quite well. You're probably young little tykes on your trikes. Wild time, the 80s. Wasn't it? Wild, wild years. Yeah, it was a good decade, though, wasn't it? It really was. And I think that's one of the great things about the show

is we go back to a time that I think conjures up good feelings. Yeah. Safety, I don't know about you guys growing up, but for my parents, my safety wasn't paramount. I was rolling around in the back of a station wagon with a mattress in the back. You know, you go on long car journeys. Absolutely.

Sunscreen wasn't much of a thing that my mum would put on me. Things like that, you know. It was a bit of a wild time, wasn't it? It really was. Now, did you have to explain, Toela, to the cast a bit about the 80s? Yes. Like Te Ari? Absolutely.

We've got our lovely Te Ari here, who of course plays the young Leilani. You're only 16? Yeah. And this is your first radio interview? Yeah. Wow. And like I just told you, you couldn't have started with a worse show, to be honest. It only goes up from here.

That's what we thought. We thought we'd start low and then, you know, we'll build up from there. But no, it was. We had to, you know, really work closely with the cast, explaining how things were. And it was quite a time of discovery for them. Like even the fact that they had to leave the house to see their friends. Yes. And even when when you know

you wanted to call someone you'd be like good day mr stanton is cheering me on but that was the because you're only born after 2000 tiari obviously so a lot of the stuff in the 80s you'd be like gee does it feel like an age ago to you yeah a lot of stuff is really different no cell phones mate it's funny how now you know how we feel when we don't know how to use technology Yeah, a lot of this stuff is really different. No cell phones, mate. It's funny how now you know how we feel when we don't know how to use technology. You're probably the same. Had you seen a landline phone before? When I was like five.

Probably to Papa or something like that. Yeah, Papa on Exhibition. What was the one thing on set that you saw and you're like, man, this is old? The things with the cassette. Oh, the tape decks. Yeah, those things. Like a Walkman or a Ghetto Blaster, that sort of thing.

We've got all those things. We had to take photos and not know what they looked like for like three days to a week. I know, it was a long wait, you're right. So it is the prequel to Sioni. So it must have been a fun journey to go on I know. It was a long wait. You're right. So it is the prequel to Sioni. So it must have been a fun journey to go on Twiller. It was fantastic. You know, to be able to revisit these characters and the story, but from a completely different perspective,

was really exciting for myself and Oscar, who sort of put the world together. And then we worked with an amazing team. There were so many people involved with bringing this world back and taking it back. And it's been a really incredibly fun process. And you're a huge part of that process too, writing it, acting on it, producing it.

I mean, that's awesome. Yeah, well, you know, I'm a grown-up now. I've got to do these grown-up things. And it was. It was such a wonderful experience for me sort of diversifying in my career. And it's alwaysifying in my career. And it's always been in the plan. And this is just the right time and the right project.

Yeah, because I read an article over the weekend, you'd stepped away from the limelight. Well, you know, guys, I've had a bit of trouble in media. You didn't times past. Were you enjoying it or not enjoying it? No, well, I was enjoying my, I always enjoyed my career. So I never stopped working. I just stopped the public side of it. Yeah, gotcha.

And I actually found that for me a really great way to be. I mean, being in the public eye is part of what we do, but when it becomes a sort of negative experience, why would you continue to put yourself through it? Yeah, it's such an important, you know, it's always great to have, you know, New Zealand content on TV as well, but such an important story,

particularly with the Pacific community as well. Something like this is great. It is. Well, it's the first time we've had a young, full Pacific cast in a show like this. And what I really love about it is not only the opportunity for our amazing young disfigure talent, but the fact that we've grown up watching

whālingi shows, families, stories our whole lives, and we've got ours as well. And so what we're doing right now is just sharing our story the same way everyone else has gotten to share their stories up until now. Now, of course, it is about going back to the 80s, and so just quickly before we go, I've got a quick 80s quiz. We're going to give it 80 seconds to see if you can answer eight 80s questions. What movie has the characters Marty and Doc?

Back to the Future. Well done. Arcade game where the main character eats yellow dots and avoids ghosts? Pac-Man. Well done.

We'll get you out of Hits Bucket Hat, mate. Well done. Chiari's like, I understood none of that. Can I go back to school? The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.

It is cliffhanger call time where we get someone's, well, they claim it's their best story. We stop it at a point at a cliffhanger and then we... We hear that music? Yeah. And we wait around to hear the rest of the story to find out how it ends. Now, Luke has got in touch with the show.

We understand this story is a game changer, Luke? A little bit, yeah. I was working for a promo company at the time, and we were putting on a cooking competition. And my job for the promo company was just help the handy guy, just promo boy, get involved, do everything. So I was running around getting the frying pans and all the appliances and the multi-boxes and the leads and setting it all up, and we were doing it in a big supermarket in front of the public.

And so I had everything ready and the contestants arrived and the judges arrived. And I'm like, all right, everything's on. You've set the scene beautifully. I love it. Yeah. So the cooking competition starts. Everything's going well.

And then all of a sudden the power starts going off to the appliances it just starts dropping the judges look at me like what the hell's going on the cooks are worried because their steak's on they want three minutes i decided this doesn't happen on master chef so i chase around i'm looking for the issue i come across the multi boxes where the safety plug's being pulled out, because I haven't done my maths on how much voltage gets drawn from each frying pan into one multibox.

You're a promo person, it's probably you know. How old are you at this point? I'm 22. You're not going to know how much voltage is coming in from a frying pan. Yeah. So that's the shutting off. The power surge is too much for multi box so i i noticed this i'm seeing the frowns from my bosses and the contestants so we

fix it sort it out so i push the button back in i'm holding my finger and then all of a sudden there's a massive bang oh oh is this the... This is the moment. Okay. There's a lot going on in your story. No, no, no, it's great. There's a lot going on. So you've got contestants that try to cook stuff. You've got a supermarket.

You've got you. You seem very frazzled by the whole thing. I'm really big anxiety. So I'm holding the button in that pops out when there's too much power. And I'm thinking, and it's working. So everyone's starting to smile again. My boss gives me the thumbs up. So I'm like, perfect. So then all of a sudden, there is bang!

Okay, we've ended on a bang. We're going to stop you there. We're going to play a song. It's high pressure, high voltage situation. Why do we play a song? I don't know, but we're going to come back and hear the rest of Luke's story, what happened after that that bang in just a moment. And it's Wednesday morning, John or Ben on the hits, that was 660

who got called out on Australia's Sky News for this. In New Zealand at the moment there's been a big push to be more inclusive of the Maori, of the Maori language, the so-called iwi. There's a lot of new language coming in. I'm going to show you this poster. Here's a poster for a pop group, which was sent to me called 6060, 660 or whatever. It's all in Maori. There's not a word of English anywhere in there.

Sounds like a news talk to your bee caller. It's shocking. I just don't have any words for this. I mean, a 660 reply, they're a really classy reply. And they said, 660 is all about bringing people together, no matter the language, and free tickets to this guy

if he wants to experience some positivity, which is a classy response to whatever that idiot was saying. Flights and a comm too, or just tickets? Oh, jeez. Let's not even go there. We'll go back to cliffhanger.

You've got to have flights and a comm. We've got Luke with us on 0800 The Hits this morning. In Cliffhanger Calls, he's going to tell us his best story. He's halfway through telling us his best story. Just to recap quickly, Luke, where did we leave you? I was setting up a promotional cooking thing in a big supermarket, and I was trying to plug in all the appliances, but I overloaded the multi-boxes,

and while I was holding it, there was a massive bang. That's where we left him just minutes ago. The nation is holding with bated breath. We've lost some people due to lack of oxygen holding their breath for so long, Luke. Okay, you heard the bang. What happened? Well, I was holding the button in, so it just overpowered the whole multiboxes. The whole thing blew up.

Every appliance in the area blew up, so all the cooks were off. I ruined the show. But the electricity from the frying pans and everything we were drawing went in through a point on my finger, right through my body, and blew my shoes off. Oh, jeez. Oh, my God. In front of everyone.

Yeah. Well, I still have the tops of the shoes. It just blew the soles off. Wow, so you're still alive. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I don't know. I think I was just real lucky.

And I just sort of remember feeling really groggy and sort of worried about what just happened and everyone was frowning and then um i just remember ambulances and hospitals and so whatever the cooking competition did you put a bit of i ruined it well you didn't i mean mean, you attempted to save it. So any lasting damage on yourself? Well, a lot of embarrassment. I ruined the promo. There was a big client that was really excited about it, and I didn't really get much work from that place again. Oh, they did buy me new shoes, which is lovely.

Well, that's fair compensation. You blew the soles of your feet. Oh, my goodness. In hospital, when I got to hospital, I was feeling really groggy and sort of a bit dizzy and stuff, but I got a bleeding nose that was just consistent, and it lasted for sort of 10 hours, but also got myself an...

Oh, jeez, okay. And so they put me in a hospital gown, and they're walking me through the aisles past everybody. What a rollercoaster for your body. Yeah, it looked like I was really enjoying it, but it was just like a rigor mortis or like a cramp or something, and I got it in my my glutes and my pecs

and I remember my pecs were pumping and I was scared oh that's well that's a hilarious story oh my goodness so we never knew who won the cooking competition no idea oh that is brilliant well I'm glad you're still with us

I'm glad you've got a new pair of shoes yeah thanks man and I'm glad you're still with us. I'm glad you've got a new pair of shoes. Yeah, thanks, man. And I'm glad you finally calmed down what needed to calm down. Yeah, yeah, that's right. Things are normal now. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Every Kiwi favourite.

Which is, you know exactly what you're going to get when you're going to get a box of chocolates. That's why you're buying that particular box of chocolates. But anyway, I'm not here to question Forrest's quips.

Let's welcome Courtney to the show. Good morning. How are you? Good. How are you? Oh, listen, we're doing well. Well, this morning you filled out the Cadbury Kiwi Favourites Personality Quiz at the hits.co.nz. Yes, yep yep I was the

but you like that pressure Yeah, well I just like to make sure everyone's happy and entertained, I suppose. Oh, good on you, Courtney. And what's your go-to? What's your specialty dish on the barbecue? Oh, usually the chicken wings. I can't resist, you know, good chicken wings.

Great, great. And so do you get finicky if people come over and start giving you cooking advice? Yeah, I don't really like um advice from other people i suppose yeah you're like i'm getting my nadia limon over here guys because you are the boss and that's what the boss of the barbecue we're going to put you to a test we're going to give you we're going to call our boss one of our bosses here at the hits radio station we're going to see if you can get us the day off. Okay? Can you out-boss our boss? All right?

Oh, I can try. We need an excuse. Why is Courtney fighting? Who is Courtney to us? Why don't you say you're Jono and Ben's doctor and we've tested positive for COVID? No, don't go COVID. COVID is going to get you the day off. I know, but that's too easy.

We want to make it. Of course it's going to. Okay, well, let's see how it goes. No, no, let's say you're, what would you say? Jono and Ben's, what are we doing? What are we helping out? You're. No, no, let's say you're... What would you say? Jono and Ben's... What are we doing? What are we helping out? You're our agent.

Oh, yeah. Have we got a partner movie? What have we got? What have we got? We've got a... Yeah. Partner movie? He's never going to believe

partner movie. Partner movie? What is a partner movie? No, you're a movie star. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay, and a new action movie. Yeah, he's a new action movie.

They need the day off to film some action scenes, okay? Okay, all right. To be honest, I coven was probably a bit of a safer option all right good luck okay we're going through remember john and ben you're our agent and yeah we've got a new role in a big blockbuster yeah just a day if that fails we've got COVID. Hello, Matt speaking. Hi, Matt. My name's Courtney. I'm just an agent for Jono and Ben.

How are you going? Yeah, I'm all right, thanks. How are you? Good, thank you. I was just wondering, on Monday, upcoming Monday, Jono and Ben actually are starring in a film here, a new action film, and we're just hoping that they can get the day off for the hits just so they can attend this.

What are they starring in? Tell me more. So they're starring in a new action film. It's a Kiwi film and it's kind of like a sequel of Avatar. Oh yeah? Yeah, so it's just a new film that's been filmed for Netflix, so they're just doing small starring parts, but it's

crucial that we have them now in our movie for the action. Yeah, I get that. I mean, they're off the air at nine, they don't exactly work particularly hard, so is there not a chance that you could do it after nine o'clock, potentially, please?

Oh, it's not. We do early morning scenes. So it's from six to about like 11-ish, 11 a.m. So we really, really need them for that time of the morning, if possible. I've got COVID. Otherwise, it's not really good publicity for the hits. You know, we're going to advertise the hits,

the Jono and Bede podcast, everything like that. Classic. So what do you reckon, Matt? You know, like, can we have the day off on Monday to do this action role, the sequel to Avatar filmed in New Zealand for Netflix? All filmed in two hours. All filmed in two hours. I can imagine it's the

normal production value we're used to from YouTube. Yeah, like it's a little downgrade from the first Avatar, but hey, what do you reckon? Yeah, that's absolutely fine by me. Yay! We're only the day off, by the way. It's Courtney calling. This is her challenge to win a $500 entertainment voucher and Cadbury Kiwi Favourites.

She's got that. Paul Courtney, these guys have absolutely put you through your paces. You go and spend your money. Hey, Courtney, well done. You've got $500 from Cadbury Kiwi Favourites. You can go spend that and not have to deal with us again as our agent. Thank you so much. Thank you.

You're a good sport. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Must be one heck of a photograph. Every time he looks at... The novelty is not worn off for him. The humour and the laughter and the comedic value of that photo. I want to see that photo as Nickelback photograph 735. You're on the hits, Jono and Ben. Scrolling through your feed.

Maybe he's looking at a photo of me naked. That could be it. That would make me laugh every time. You already laughed without even looking at the photo. I'm fully clothed right now. I see why that was, yes, I see. Alright, we've got some hard news. Soft presenters. This is scrolling. What's happening? Oh, we're very excited

about the Black Ferns playing Saturday night Eden Park at 7.30pm. Now, a bit of an update too. I know we've had the ongoing rolling saga, rolling coverage of Ben Boyce always wanting tickets from first thing Monday morning. He's been sort of dropping hints. I tried on Sunday. Couldn't get tickets.

But last night they released a few more tickets. How many more tickets did they release? I don't know, but it was sold out within minutes. But guess who was part of that sellout? The sellout himself. So I managed to buy myself some tickets to take the family on Saturday night. Four tickets, there you go. Now, you're not going to resell them on Trade Me for triple the value

because you're not allowed to? No, I'm not going to.ll them on Trade Me for triple the value because you're not allowed to. No, I'm not going to. I'm going to go along and support because I'm very excited about it. He does that usually. He buys tickets to events and then sells them for triple the price. Oh, I can't.

Oh, last minute. You know, I can't go. Family emergency. No, no, I'm not going to do that. Very excited about that. Four of the last five Women's World Cup rugby finals have been between the Black Ferns and England. England have been playing very well.

They have, yeah. They beat them on last year's end of year tour as well. But we have won against them in the World Cup many times as well. And I loved it from the Black Ferns. They put something on their social media last night. They were getting on the bus and they had a little sign on the bus saying the Black Ferns bandwagon as they were getting on. Plenty of room. Everyone's welcome. Jump on in. Jump on the bandwagon as they were getting on. Plenty of room.

Everyone's welcome. Jump on in. I know, yeah, yeah. They're like, jump on the bandwagon, mate. They're all getting on the bandwagon. You haven't been here for about 20 years,

but hop on now. And you, a really interesting fact, this is the first game, or the first time, sorry, where people have actually paid to watch the Black Ferns alone

without them opening for the All Blacks. And you can't get tickets. They are sold out, so it's awesome. It's amazing what some marketing, some publicity will do, and everyone's celebrating the women's game, the Black Ferns. It's going to be awesome. Imagine what that could do. It could work wonders for us, be a voice for the publicity,

get you out there, pressing the flesh. And a lady over in America has turned 101 years old and she reckons the secret to a happy life is tequila that's what she's saying Mary Flip is her name

she lives in Arizona she's lived through multiple wars the Great Depression she's birthed six kids and she reckons drinking a Mexican tequila is one way

she's had a long life she has a good sense of humour as well her daughter was saying how do you feel? And she said, with my hand. That's good. Solid gear.

Her husband is long gone, but she celebrated with a glass of Guinness as well. Her favorite beer was Guinness. So the success to life is just being a consistent alcoholic and just keeping those levels. That's what I'm choosing to believe from that. So, hey,

that's the news that you want to hear this morning, right? 101 years old. Joe Biden never picture of her up in his office, eh? One of those

Yes, but it's a good school because it's got the specialised teachers for art and music and PE, so not one of my favourite things to do.

They just want to say husband, say husband. Say husband. I don't know why it is. That's what we want. We do. We need it as a nation. Now, my daughter, Sienna, had a birthday on Monday. Happy birthday, Sienna.

Yeah, happy birthday, Sienna. We talked a Monday Happy birthday Sienna Yeah happy birthday Sienna We talked a wee bit about this over the last couple of days But my dad sent her a present Because he obviously doesn't live in the same place And I brought it in right now to show you Jono It's a daily desk plaque So it's a little box that comes with a daily desk plaque It's one of those things that you can open it up

And you can put it on your desk As you know when people have your names displayed on the red flash desk so you'd have you know if you're in the executive team

Ben Boyce chief officer of stuff yeah on the on a little sign so everyone knew who they were talking to when they're sitting on the other side of

the desk they seem a little redundant yeah yeah but this is the you know fun little things you can add to a desk in a room right now well i guess that's what my dad was thinking and you know there's a lot of there's a lot of great things on here like doing my best and genius at work you know you can you can choose any little quips yeah oh so you can rotate them around my

inbox is full you know like that it's all though okay so you know you can flick between these things this is lovely but then i don't know if my dad actually looked at the back of the box because they give the examples of all the things you can flick between. And this is one of the ones that he sent his granddaughter for her 13th birthday. Now, I'd like you to read that out, and we'll beep it when you get to the word. This is so good.

So this is for your daughter, 30-year-old daughter, that sits on her desk and the sign says, ask me about the i give yeah like not even like not we beat that but this is just uncensored raw but then like if you're about like if you're bouncing from oh my inbox is full and genius it works genius work to that ask me about the uh i give yeah Yeah it's You know I mean What I love about this present Okay

Has Kevin missed the mark Maybe But Can you dispute That Kevin Didn't buy that present No He definitely went in there

Yeah Was all the research done Probably not Probably not And you go We need to give him credit And go He's gone out

Himself He's found it Yeah Is it inappropriate A little bit A little bit Should he have maybe Got a set of knives and you go, we need to give him credit and go, he's gone out himself, he's found it. Is it inappropriate? A little bit. Should he have maybe got a set of knives or a switchblade or something safer? But yeah, and what was the reaction from the household when you saw that one?

Not quite sure what to do about it. Don't really know how to broach it with my dad, so we'll just talk about it on the radio. It was rude to throw the present away, so it's just going to have to sit on her desk now. Ask me about the... Well, you haven't. I haven't asked her about it

yet either. Kevin Boyce has got a great present-giving history. He gave you a fan that you could plug it into your USB port in your computer. Yeah.

And it was like a... It looked like a little leaf blower, and it was just... Oh, it was a leaf blower. That's right. But it was just to kind of... I don't know what it was for. It was to blow the dust off your computer.

I love it. I think he goes to the same shop every time. One of those novelty little gift shops. He's back. This guy's back again. He will ask you. Yeah, well, buying for kids is hard these days, isn't it? It is.

You never know what it is. Should I get them a Prezi card? Or should I get them a desk side full of inappropriate swear words? Well, the options are endless. Proudly boast ourselves as the least handy show on radio. I wouldn't say proudly, but we are. We make no bones about it. Both of us are not very practical individuals.

No, i don't and i i don't know where it is for you but for me i put it down to my patience i don't have the patience to read instructions like i could i could watch a blow by blow tutorial on youtube of how i could execute something and i would even stuff that up you know and this is someone telling me slowly and calmly about what to do so i accidentally, I don't know if you know if this piece exists, the kickboard off the dishwasher. So it's the bottom little bit of plastic. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I thought that's what the kickboard was for, just kicking in moments of anger when you had to do the dishes. But the kickboard came off months, months. So have you got a new kickboard? Have you got a new kickboard? So I ordered a part. I got the kickboard part yeah right my role was to simply attach the clipboard back on so this is an exterior piece of the dish okay just clip it back there slide it on

oh it's a slide it's a slide simple simple application maybe you or me could do it yeah but i go into these things thinking i go in with with the wrong attitude. I'm like, I'm never going to be able to do this, you know. But I did it. Okay, I did it. But what I had to do was I had to pull out the dishwasher to the point where, you know, some pretty important looking tubes were kind of hanging out. And the YouTube instructional video was, make sure you don't twist these. Just make sure, you know. So just make sure you know so this is

where things start to get philly's anyway i put the kickball back on without a word of a lie i had to use some masking tape so i just taped it back on don't tell anyone that that's embarrassing um and then put it back on and then that afternoon i hear after the dishwasher has started it felt like the dishwasher has started, it felt like the dishwasher was constipated and going, and everyone's going, everyone in the house, what's that noise? And I'm trying to palm it off, going, oh, nothing.

I was just working through some stuff. Oh, no. The dots are connected there. Hey, who's been fiddling with the dishwasher? You've now ruined it. You've made it worse. You've made it worse. I've made it worse. And all I had to do was attach an outside piece to the dishwasher.

And then I get a call, dishwasher's leaking on the floor, you go. And then, oh. So I have to phone a DIY person. You have to rush off after the show. I did yesterday. Very panicked. I was taking calls mid-show from repair people. And then the repair person turns up

and they do it and you're watching them like how are you making this look so easy like how are you actually yeah

what's the job but yeah they do it well you know that's the thing and you don't no it's a DIY disaster

do you want to know what the embarrassing part is what's that is that I had left the reason it was making noise is it was there was a bit that was jammed and i had left a screwdriver in there oh and he said this looks like your problem and you're like oh don't do that don't degrade me just like pretend like it was a major

issue and that you had to do some stuff yeah all right DIY disasters is what we want to know this morning. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. Talking to DIY disasters this morning. Jono tried to fix the dishwasher and made a heck of a mess at home, but it doesn't surprise me, Jono, because I think, take your mind back a few years ago, a digger at my house. This is what happened.

My name is Jono, having fun driving a digger. Ah, digger donuts! You spin me right round, bring me right round. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Sorry, guys. That wasn't surprising at all. You can't prove that was me.

I can't. You ruined your house. You got the footage. It's the most asked question we get, isn't it? Yeah, the digger into the house. There you go. Thank you, Producer Joel, for finding that little gem. Tense times, tense times.

Let's go to the phones. We'll kick it off with Belinda. DIY disaster. Belinda, what happened? Well, I was about 13 and my brother was giving me a bit of stick about my moustache that I apparently had.

Okay. I didn't actually think it was that bad, but, you know, he was just giving me a bit of stick, so I thought I'd give old Veet a go. Oh, Veet, you veeted your... Did you have a moustache, first and foremost? Basically not. No, but you're like...

That's the brother's role, isn't it? To force anxiety upon siblings. Yeah. Yeah, she was 13. So I put it on. I thought, well, that doesn't seem that long to put it on, she was 13. So I put it on. I thought, well, that doesn't seem that long to put it on on the instructions. So I left it on a bit too long.

And by the time I took it off, I had quite a big burn on my upper lip. Oh, so you had like a big red rash above your lip? Yeah. So the worst thing was that I was at boarding school, so there was no way I could pull a sticky. So I went to the school nurse, and she gave me this thick white cream to put along the burns,

so I had to go to school with an actual moustache. So then you had a day of cream across your moustache What's that? Yeah, cream Thick white cream all along it While everyone was just staring at me all day Are you growing it out for Movember? Should have ended it

And that's what brothers do Hey, we're going to send you Black Adam, Belinda Oh, cool, thank you Yeah, the Rock's new movie You're a legend You're going to have a great day. Thank you, you too. All right, let's go to the phones.

Martin, good morning. How are you? Yes, good, mate, good. DIY, DIY. I can't even say DIY. No wonder I'm no good at it. That's a disaster, you trying to say it. But you've had a DIY disaster before?

I have, yes. Thanks for your call there, Stephen. I love it. I'd like to hear more of it. What happened? I managed to put a skill store through my stomach. Oh, jeez. What, slicing below your abdomen?

Yeah, just in the stomach wall there, yep. I've got a big stomach, really. How did this go horribly wrong? What was going on? I went to the pub and had a few beers. Well, there you go. There's where you went wrong. Yeah, I went home to get a job done for concrete coming in the morning,

cutting pegs, and, yeah, one of the pegs cut, and the skill saw jumped back through the top of the ladder and into my stomach. Oh, and so did you just... So what do you do in that situation? What happens? I went inside and rung a mate to

come and finish the boxing and Is that the first thing you did? Yeah, I waited. It wasn't until mum got home that she told me to get in the car and go to the A&E. Yeah, right, because it felt like instead of ringing a mate, maybe like St John's Ambulance or something would have been preferential. Great.

All right, hey, tell you what, we're going to send you off to Black Adam, Dwayne The Rock Johnson's brand new movie. Awesome. Cool, thank you. No sharp implements, though, in the movie theatre. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Ben, speaking of, you know, households and things like that, do you ever notice that

Sometimes You get shoes back from kids And the shoelaces Have been tied to the point Where the world's greatest safe cracker Couldn't even undo them I had to deal with this incident yesterday I can't undo my

I can't get my shoes off my feet And you're like how have you tied A 22 knot shoelace yeah yeah they do my general rule of thumb is if you're spending longer than five to ten seconds doing up and undoing your shoelaces you've done something terribly wrong yeah but some shoelaces just undo if you don't do them that tight that's the thing yeah and i suppose a big bugbear your mom was, tie your shoelaces, you'll trip, you'll fall, especially crossing the road.

I don't know if anyone's ever had that happen to them, but I don't think it has happened. It's like untangling a sea, you know when you see a sea lion trapped in fishing net, in fishing wire? It's like undoing that. And they're like,

I don't know, I can't get my feet out of here. It's like, well, could you tie your knots? It's way too tight. To the point of, you have always had an issue with the headphone cables, don't you?

The old headphones, not the wireless Bluetooth ones that you get nowadays. They just tangle up. Yeah. They're just like, you leave them alone. And then all of a sudden, they're like contestants on Love Island. They just leave them alone and they start hooking up and entangling with each other. It's like, what is going on? Hey, that was a pre-prepared comedy.
