I know Joe Rogan, he chucks an experience on the end of his name. It makes it feel like an event. It's an experience. Rogan did well to get into the podcast game early that's with any of these things you know whether it's tiktok instagram facebook podcasting if you get in first you get

in early you'll be one of the leaders you know the rest of us are all chasing our tail now like oh let's do a podcast there's no point mate no you know how many podcasts are out there there's a lot there is a google how many podcasts okay so then okay i hear you and i know i'm not saying i disagree with that because i i think it's but then i'll say nft to you what do you say about that should you've got to taking your same your same theory of you've got to get in there early why aren't you there early mainly because i didn't understand what an NFT was and even when it was explained to me I still didn't understand

what an NFT was but I had that thought going we need to get in there really we need to but the more I Bitcoin got in early with Bitcoin you did

no no I made it sound like I did you did but if you did you'd be you'd be reefing the wards you hope so well those are the things

I'm always too I'm timid I'm timid in those situations oh me too but that's what makes you know that's why people are successful in life. They take huge risks, don't they? Huge, huge risks. Over two million podcasts worldwide.

Now, you tell me you want to get into the podcast game while you're competing with two million others. We're here. Welcome to the podcast. Yes, we are. We're here. Are we competing? Producer Joel?

Yeah. Give us some insights, mate. Where are we sitting on the charts? No, why don't you give us insights? We're in the top 100 Yeah We are in the top 100 In the world

In New Zealand Which is good In New Zealand Which is in the world There's a lot of podcasts Like every radio show Is doing it these days Everyone wants to be

Our next podcaster So top 100 It's pretty good man Don't give us your shitty view Pity top 100 It's pretty good Yeah We're inside the top

Well I'm happy to just be there I'm happy to be playing the game But yeah She's a crowded market You need to get on to What the next thing is That's what you need to do I've watched the bloody

Defiant ones with Dr. Dre When he started Beats headphones You know how that came about? Nike came to him And said Dr. Dre Let's do a shoot And then he talked to his mate The little bald fella

Oh Jimmy Iovine Jimmy Iovine Who they had Mate That's what people say to me to a shoe and then he talked to his mate the little bald fella jimmy ivy jimmy ivy who they had uh they'd made that's what people say to me he talked to your mate your mate the little ball fella i'm like john oh yeah that's that's a conversation we have regularly do you get that a lot yeah he talked to his little ball mate who was a record industry guy that's how they met Through music He was like What are you doing?

What do you know about shoes? He said I know nothing about shoes I wear them He's like You know what you know about? Music Headphones

And they just boof Yeah Beats was launched And it was everywhere So headphones Let's get into headphones Well we could We could

We do radio stuff We get into headphones Me and my little bull mate But we're not cool enough For headphones That's the problem Like maybe We could. We could. We do radio stuff. We do headphones. We're not cool enough for headphones. That's the problem. Maybe microphone socks. Yeah, the things that go over. Because you know how they've got the things that go over the microphone. Yeah, but it's a niche. It's a niche.

But that's our thing. John and Ben's, you know. We'll think about it. You're not on with microphone socks? It's okay. What else am I thinking? Microphone stands. Too niche.

Start a radio school. Oh yeah. No? Okay. You could but then you're like these poor people are paying tens of thousands of dollars to get into an industry where let's be honest

there's less jobs than there were. And don't come in and steal ours. Because we were not. How many people were in your broadcasting course there, producer Joel? There was 25 in my year. How many are working? About two of us. That's the thing.

It's tough out there. It is tough out there. I think I'm the only one from my course, my distinguished six-month course that's doing radio now. And also that course doesn't exist anymore, I think, the the only one From my course My distinguished Six month course That's doing radio now And also that course Doesn't exist anymore I think The Todonga one

Because the government Stopped funding it this year He ended it He wasn't Todonga though Yeah no That's the thing We've got to get into something Okay

What's our big thing Cheese cutters Cheese cutters Well they've been Probably in Birmingham I've seen a lot of them Yeah the cheese cutter The hats

Cheese cutter hats Yeah You can rock the cheese cutter John Oh will i wear hats i could be a cheese cutter guy yeah you could be yeah yeah we got our cable gear on yeah hats yeah so hold on you don't like my microphone sock idea but you're gonna run with a range of cheese cutters no i'm not saying i'm gonna run with it as i said i'm too timid to do these things but uh but but it's got more potential because I can see more people wearing and having a need for a cheese cutter than having a need for a microphone

pop sock that stops you, you know, the popping stuff. Spitting on the microphone, yeah. Alright, well listen, this brainstorm obviously there needs to be a bit more. We'll throw some more stuff at the wall. We'll get back to you tomorrow with what we're doing next ahead of the curve. Warning! This show contains Jono and or Ben.

Jono and Ben on the hits. First of August today. Are you a pincher and a pincher and a first of the month-er? What's your protocol around this? My kids are still kind of going into that, but I think there's only... Are they packing a punch, the kids,

or is the light tapping? No, it's a light, you know, but there's only a select few people. I don't think you can do it around the office. I don't think that stacks up, right? No, nothing stacks up nowadays, mate. Can't even punch anyone. Then was flicking a kick would be the

response that people in the Wairarapa would go? So someone would go, pinch and a punch, and then you'd go, flicking a kick was like the response back to... Was the last word dick? Yeah, for being a... Oh, right. Oh, for being a... Yeah. That was always the response. That's a great retort, though, in the Wairarapa there. Yeah. I don't know if

that spread nationwide. I just know that was at my school. That was snappy. Witty. Friday afternoon. Listen, I'm going about my afternoon Friday afternoon. Picture this. Doting father. Loving husband. You know what I am, Ben. I'm picturing that, but am I picturing you in this scenario or not?

Is that what you'd like me to do? That's what I was doing. Playing the role of a doting father loving husband. Oh, okay. Gotcha. Okay. Phone rings. And I went against your One rule in life Which is never answer a private number No good can come from that call No good

No good And if it is You check the message And you go Oh I'll call them straight back That's my rule You've never He never answers

Unknown numbers Private numbers Not even phone numbers Like even if someone's been open and honest, but you just don't have their number saved, you won't even answer that number. And I should have applied that rule because I answered the phone

and I was the victim of a lowbrow radio prank, Ben. But not from me, though. Not from you. This is the thing that hurts me a lot. It wasn't from me. This is my job. Whoever this is, stay in your lane. This is mine. I've had a lot. It wasn't from me. This is my job. Whoever this is, stay in your lane. This is mine.

I've had an illustrious career of pranking over the years. Pranked thousands and thousands of people. Ruined many lives. And it cuts deep when you're the victim, doesn't it? So who was this that pranked you? So it was Sharon and Jaden who host the afternoon show on the edge. We used to work with Sharon. Yeah, of course.

This is why it cut even deeper. We used to work there, Ben. And producer Dan afternoon show on the edge. We used to work with Sharon. Yeah, of course. This is why I cut even deeper. We used to work there, Ben. And producer Dan, who's on the show. Oh, we work with as well. He's very good at voices, isn't he? Very talented man. So he, I assume, does a Mike Hosking impersonation. Oh, Mike Hosking from Newstalk ZB,

the great broadcaster Mike Hosking. So he phoned me up. They phoned me up as Mike Hosking. Have a listen. Hello? Jono, you bald prick. It phoned me up as Mike Hosking. Have a listen. Hello? Jono, you're a bald prick. It's Mike Hosking. Mike Hosking?

Did you give my number to the Edge, those freaks at the Edge? The Edge? Yeah, well, they've been ringing me all afternoon, and I'm like, what the f*** are you calling me for? How did you get my number? Yeah, no, no, they asked for it. Yeah, and you gave it to them. And I said, no, no, I won't give you Mike Hosking's number

because Dan's impression of Mike Hosking is so shocking, he should never hear it. Yeah. That's what I... I just thought it would be disrespectful to the great Mike Hosking for him to hear such a shoddy impression of himself. Well, f*** you. Did you say, did you say, love that?

Yeah, they did, didn't they? Did they love that? Why don't you laugh like that when I say something? Genuine laughter. I've never heard that from you. Maybe earlier in our relationship I was laughing like that. Geez, why don't you laugh like that when I say something? Genuine laughter. I've never heard that from you. Maybe earlier in our relationship I was laughing like that. Now I'm just fighting it in. Now I'm just having to force it.

Yeah, but wow. Didn't they love that? But yeah, that was Friday afternoon. And you hang up on them and you're like, oh. You feel a little unsettled, don't you? You feel a little rattled. You've done this to many people. Speaking of which, Ben, I got you a beauty.

You did. On Sunday morning, yesterday morning, I thought I had to retaliate. If I got pranked, I had to prank someone back. It happened yesterday morning with gold medal winning athlete, Commonwealth Games athlete, Sophie Pascoe. Scrolling through your feed. Time for us to try and pretend to be proper news readers. What's going on in the news, Ben? Well, a lot of Commonwealth Games in the news.

It continues on. While you were sleeping, it carries on overnight. So far, New Zealand's seven gold medals after a couple of days. Now, 15 is our best ever gold medals at the Commonwealth Games. So we've already got seven gold medals after only pretty much the weekend, which is awesome. Sitting at number two, aren't we, on the medal table? And it's not even per capita. Normally, we love a per capita. We look at the amount of people in New Zealand. We divide that. But at the moment, which is awesome. Sitting at number two, aren't we, on the medal telly? And it's not even per capita. Normally we love a per capita. We look at

the amount of people in New Zealand, we divide that. But at the moment, looking good. We have to pull out the per capita card at the Olympic Games, which, you know, is obviously a bigger event, more countries involved. But this is good. We could just say, we're at cold second. Who's coming first? I think it is Australia, I think,

at the moment, winning a lot of gold medals. Over the weekend, Sophie Pascoe in the pool. She is awesome, as you said before, Jono. She was part of a pranking on me. Yeah. You'll play about 7.30 this morning. Yes, Sophie Pascoe, we spoke to her yesterday. And Ben Boyce, you were caught unawares, weren't you?

I was very much so. You were caught. You got the bronze medal for being aware. Lewis Kleber as well won gold yesterday, and he's qualified fastest for the 200-meter butterfly. I saw him after the race, and they were like, what do you want to do now? He's like, well, to be honest, I just want to be able to pee quick. He swam quick, but he wants to pee quick

because he had to go get his drug test. I can't imagine someone standing around watching him do that. And then he's got to go home because he had to swim again today. So, yeah. You probably want a little bit in the tank before you start the race, don't you? Just so that when you hop out of the pool, it's ready to go. I never nailed the butterfly.

Never could nail the butterfly. I would cheat by using my feet to bounce off the floor. It's a very hard thing to do. Cyclists as well. A whole lot of cycling medals over the weekend, which was awesome as well. Unfortunately, things didn't go too well in the New Zealand Sevens rugby. Overnight, New Zealand All Black Sevens men, they were pipped in a golden point by Fiji, so they'll be playing for bronze.

And the Seven Sisters, as they call them, New Zealand women's team, are just lost to Australia as well, so they are playing for bronze just before 7 o'clock this morning. I'll just take you back to the cycling there, Ben. I noticed we just had some medal wins just now on the cycling track.

And the cycling uniform that we got, I mean, there's nowhere to hide, is there, with the cycling track. And the cycling uniform that we got, I mean, there's nowhere to hide, is there, with the cycling uniform? It's clinging on for dear life. And for some reason, the design on the New Zealand one, we've gone black, obviously. But then around the crotch, we've opted for a sort of a greyish. So it's like a crotch window.

It draws your attention towards the mouth. It does, it takes my eyes directly there. And of any part of the body, the one you don't want drawing attention is down there. Like, why isn't it all just black? Now, a lot of Kiwis this morning are woken up with some money in their account. There are 2.1 million Kiwis as well.

The government's much hyped. Cost of living payment starts today, which we'll see a lot of New Zealanders receive roughly $27 per week over three months, adding up to $350. To sort of combat high inflation and cost of living at the moment. But what's happening, and it's front page news of the paper this morning, is a lot of overseas-based Kiwis, some of which haven't been in New Zealand for a while,

obviously haven't quite registered the fact they're living overseas. They're getting all these payments from the OAD. They're getting them as well. Yeah. Well, that's just how generous our government are. They will even hand them out to people of, you know. One guy's like, I've been living in Dubai for 22 years. Yeah.

Well, our criminals have been living in Australia for 25 years. We still take them back too. Which is so welcoming. We'll take anyone. We'll take anyone. So, Pants Man Joel. Yes. He does like wearing pants, you're right.

He does. He's a pants man. Not crotch-y ones like the cycling team. Producer Joel is very new to the show. You said you've had a message from the IRD. What is that $27 a week going to go on? That isn't alcohol. Ooh, groceries.

I think groceries. Correct. Yeah, maybe cup. That would be a good thing to say. Power bill, water bill. It's going to be helpful. It will be helpful. Numeracy, literacy, and idiocy.

They've nailed one of those things. Jono and Ben on the hits. Ed Sheeran, first artist to reach 100 million followers on Spotify. 100 million. Spotify sent him a T-shirt saying, ask me about my 100 million Spotify followers. And so he wore that around. He was doing a tour and he wore that around

just as things were setting up for the tour and he was going to the crew going, ask me about that. And they were kind of like, oh, whatever, mate. Whatever, mate, we've got to put a stage up here, Sharon. So they didn't quite get the attention there. Well, the novelty of working with Ed Sheeran is probably worn off for the crew. They're busting their chops every day,

putting up lighting, putting up sound bits and pieces. And you don't want Ed Sheeran going, look at me with my hundred million Spotify followers. Anyway, from Spotify's point of view, what else do you get Ed Sheeran? Well, exactly. He's got everything. He's got everything. So a t-shirt is probably inappropriate.

And Ed Sheeran might be featuring many times in this. The hits. Yeah, it's good. But is it the best? Seriously, you're kidding, right? It's got to be. It's time to decide. The best song ever.

Hey! The Hits best song ever. Yeah, we are looking for the best song. The best song of all time. There's a lot of great songs out there. We want to hear yours. Go to thehits.co.nz, nominate yours, and we'll count down until we get to the best song ever as voted by you.

Now, you just, you constantly say, Ben, one of the joys about working on a radio station like The Hits, apart from the beautiful management and the exquisite running of the station, is the music. You can play anything. You know, you can play a rock song. As long as it's a hit, you can play a rock song,

a hip-hop song, a dance song, whatever. I know some other stations do countdowns and they stay in their lane. Yeah, they've got to. We don't have a lane. If we were common-gay swimmers, we would be in shambles. We're swerving all over the motorway, baby. Yeah, so this is the joy of this countdown, is that it's multiple genres going against each other.

And you can vote right now. Your vote counts. This is, as we say, more important than the general election next year. And certainly more important than mayoral elections. Now, I had a look online yesterday, and when you Google what is the greatest song of all time, a lot of surveys, a lot of votes have come through with a bit of Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody, this song.

Which is a pretty epic song. It was an epic song. It felt like five songs all wrapped into one Didn't it Yeah It's got operatic parts It's got this rocky part So that's what a lot of people Think are the best song ever

What do you think Here to the hitstock KID.NZ We got asked At the end of last week To put a little message out With our favourite songs I kind of felt like

I panicked And I went with Journey You know Which is a great song Don't Stop Believing Don't stop Yeah It's a great song, Don't Stop Believing. I was like, I don't know,

because I just felt like I tried to sing this once on karaoke and I butchered it. I don't care. But this is such a great song and it is, but when I sing it, awful. It's a great song. It becomes better too

after five to eight drinks, doesn't it? But you're right, I was in the same position because Matt, who's our boss, he's like, what's your favourite song? And you're like, you've got to record it now. And all I could think of was just one song

that I'm hearing constantly on repeat at the moment because my son's learning the drums to it, was Guns N' Roses' Sweet Child of Mine. Great song. But then I heard Brad From Brad and Laura In the afternoons I heard his one And he's like

Prince Purple Rain And I'm like Damn it Why didn't I go Purple Rain There is a lot of good songs So there is still time You can head to the Hitstock.co.nz

And another one Another late entry That I heard over the weekend As well This song Now you don't Buy a bed every day I mean

To get a good night's sleep Don't get your body in way So you know I don't know if we can vote For the We should do the greatest Jingle ever I mean, I love the bedpost jingle. So, you know, I don't know if we can vote for the bedpost jingle. We should do the greatest jingle ever. The greatest jingle of all time. A sub-countdown within the countdown. Yeah. Just to really confuse things. But 97 million registered songs in the world.

97 million. So that's what you've got to choose from. We'll whittle them down to the best song ever. It's just another motivational Monday. Just a couple of too many syllables in that one. It doesn't quite fit, but anyway. We're going to motivate you for a Monday, make you feel a bit better, make you, you know, get into the week,

get things done this week. Now, you've brought this one to the table, Ben. It was a doc I was watching on Netflix the other day, and you were like, oh, here we go, Ben's watching a sports doc I had to do with an NBA basketball coach. Oh, yeah, that's exactly what I'm thinking. Is that what you've done? But I thought it was really interesting. This guy, Doc Rivers, a very successful basketball coach in the States,

and he was talking about his hero, Muhammad Ali, the great boxer, and just talking about what it takes to be a champion. And I thought, well, hey, do you want to be a champion this week, mate, in your private jet? I already am in a private jet. Do you want to be a champion? Bloody champion thought, hey, do you want to be a champion this week, mate, in your private jet? I already am in a private jet. Do you want to be a champion? Do you want to be a champion? Have a listen to this.

Muhammad Ali was my item growing up. Look at me now. Don't tell me that ain't a perfect specimen of a man. I've watched every fight. I've utilised your punches by Muhammad Ali.

People think if you're the champion that you don't get hit. And the exact opposite. Champions get hit over and over and over. You know, it's just that the champion is the one that decides to keep moving forward. It's how many punches can you take and keep moving forward until you can win. Yeah, I thought that was quite good, didn't it?

That is motivation. But if I'm getting punched in the face multiple times, I'm probably going to move sideways just so I don't get punched again. Yeah, but you get, you know, they always talk about that. You get knocked down, but it's the time you get back up again. You know, you've just got to be the last to get back up. It is motivational. And I don't want to, you know, pull the rug from dog rivers.

You know, for the last two years, they've been going, pivot, pivot. They haven't been saying move forward. Everyone's been telling us to pivot away from what we're doing. Yeah, but he's just saying just keep going. Just keep going. Just keep going.

If you get knocked down you just get back up and keep going because the champion's the one that gets back up the final time. You know, Muhammad Ali they all get knocked down but they get back up.

There was a song about that, wasn't there? Not a great one. Not a great one. But we still play it, mate. Don't talk it down. We still pumping out Chubba Wumba? Get back up again. Then you take a whiskey drink.

Maybe we should just play that song. Well, thank you. I am motivated. That is great. Keep going, guys. Even if you get punched in the face today, you keep going. That's right. Get back up.

If you're here for parenting advice, you're in big trouble. Jono and Ben on the hits. I was putting, well, I wasn't putting my son to bed last night. He puts himself to bed. He's 12 years old. But he was lying in bed last night. Did they put you to bed? Yeah, they had to put me to bed.

They had to take Danny to bed. Or they put a blanket. I imagine you're like, let's just put a blanket over him. He's falling asleep on the couch. Yeah, I am a put a blanket over him sort of guy. We'll just leave him there. It's too much dead weight to lug up the stairs. But, you know, he's lying in bed, and i like to go in and say good night to the children um apparently that's what you have to do as a parent and i was saying good night to him

and uh he looked up to me and he said something and he said you know what dad you look like a criminal. Now, this was, I was like, I was sort of flattered and offended at the same time because, you know, criminals are a little bit dangerous, a little bit bad boy. But then offended too because, you know, they've done some bad stuff to become criminals. Yeah, what sort of, are we talking like Shakira tax evasion?

I'd like to think I'd be a white collar criminal. Yeah. You know, and I'd get put away in a cushy little Sort of thing where you can go down to the mall And the shops but you have to go back there And can I just say too I don't know if Shakira's been She's just up for tax evasion Her hips don't lie but her tax returns do

Allegedly maybe We're not sure about that But no I said why, why do I look like a criminal Like I'm your father The way my beard was growing and my head Now because I've had a mole removal, there's a scar on it. And he's like,

my dad looks like a criminal. So this is my question for you. As I said, it made me a little bit emotional last night. I don't want to be wandering around and everyone going, geez, look at that guy. Have I seen him on Police 107

sort of situation? Do I look like a criminal to you? And what sort of crime would you try me for? Yeah, it all comes down to maybe, you know, your clothing choices as well. Ad's a big part of it. Like if you were saying goodnight to your son in a tuxedo.

I'm wearing a dress up in a tuxedo. I'm just saying if you came in and you were wearing a tuxedo. Goodnight, my dear child. You'd feel like you were on the butler service with that arse or something. But maybe he wouldn't, you know, despite the scar and despite the... So you're saying, smokescreen my criminal looks with a tuxedo.

Well, try a tuxedo tonight. Have you ever put a tuxedo on and put it in bed? Can't say I have. I have with my kids, but I'm just saying, if you don't want to be a criminal. So then I'm definitely, if I'm in a tuxedo and I look like a criminal

I'll definitely be done for embezzling or something exactly the hits the sure weather masks make them look a whole lot better Jono and Ben

on the hits I was mentioned the other day I cleaned out the attic a couple of weeks ago we were on a holiday Ben there was a job that had been clouded over me for the last three years

you got into some water blastingasting, didn't you? I did. My rich, lustrous career of waterblasting really took off. You've done a bit of waterblasting. It's not your first rodeo. I enjoy it for a bit. I find it really satisfying. Then I go, I'm done with this now. But then you

want to keep going. Then I start to get a sore hand pulling the trigger. Anyway, let's not get into that. But what I did find amongst the many gems in the attic was a dressing gown. I found a dressing gown. Now, are you a dressing gown sort of person? No, not really. I always forget about the dressing gowns.

It's a forgotten piece of clothing. You're right. Some people love it. Like my mum, Jenny, she loves a dressing gown. Get up in the morning, dressing gown, cup of tea, that sort of thing. I'm always like, if I get cold, I put on like a sweatshirt or a hoodie or something. I forget I've got a dressing gown. Get up in the morning, dressing gown, cup of tea, that sort of thing. I'm always like, if I get cold, I'll put on like a sweatshirt or a hoodie or something.

I forget I've got the dressing gown there. Yeah, that is accessible. Yeah, I mean, they're like great. I don't know if he was so great, but Hugh Hefner, he really committed to the dressing gown, didn't he? Sorry, docker.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's some shady stuff going on there. But anyway, he committed to the dressing gown. He did. He did. So anyway. That was him 24-7.

Because I feel like, you know, it's a dressing gown is like if you're around home for a wee bit, sit Joe. But I'm like, just get into the day. Let's get into the day. Get dressed. Let's get into it. Well, this was my thing because I found the dressing gown probably around about 11am and I was, I'll chuck it on.

And it felt comfortable. I just had underpants and the dressing gown on. And so I decided to stick with it for the entire day on Saturday. Okay? Right. The entire day. And Gene said, oh, can you just pop down to the supermarket to grab some stuff? And I thought, okay, well, the option here is to get changed or not get changed.

It was an in and out situation. Right, yeah. Like it was just grabbing some fruit from the front of the supermarket and just going into the 12 items or less checkout. And so I did so, got the fruit, got the produce, boom, bumped into one of the kids' teachers in a dressing gown and back and safe. Okay, now this is a low low Because she's talking to me And I'm

You know you would have No she would have noticed Though right She would have gone It was definitely A little eye up and down Sort of going Oh is he

Is he Oh yeah he is But I respect people Who wear their pyjama Wear to the supermarket Yeah it's a thing In New Zealand right It's like well you've

Checked out of life And I have too But she's talking to me But I'm not fully engaged In the conversation Because the whole time I'm going well this is Possibly one of of the lowest situations I could find myself in. So this is what I want to do.

0800 the hits. Totes and Appropes clothing in public. Do they still say Totes and Appropes? Oh, they do now. When were you caught out in something like, Jono? Were you caught out in a dressing gown, maybe pajamas? A friend of mine, same sort of situation as you a few years ago he was he just got out of the shower and his partner was like hey i need to get to work you're dropping me off

quickly let's go so he's like oh it's only just up the road i'll just wear my towel you know nothing else on just towel out of the shower amen and he's like i'm not getting out of the car i'm just dropping her off on the way back he had a little nose to tail and then he had to get out of the car to sort of like exchange insurance details and the police came down for part of the thing and he was like, oh, this is not a great look. I'm just wearing a towel. Yeah. Nothing else.

What do you say? You're on the way to or from a massage? Yeah. Sauna? Yeah. When you're caught in public in inappropriate clothing, text too. It's always an option.

With a health star rating of zero, Gentleman Man on the hits. Totes and Approps Clothing in Public. Jo from Wainuiomata, how are you? Good thanks. We're talking inappropriately dressed and we're focusing on the sleepwear this morning. What happened?

I was, this was many years ago and I was much skinnier than I am now. I went into the supermarket with a sarong, one that you tie up and stuff. Oh, a sarong, okay. Have you gone just sarong with nothing else? No, no, no. A friend was with me, and I was beside the cameras in one of the aisles in the supermarket,

and my sarong just fell off. Oh, it went sarong for you, didn't it? And my friend just took off laughing and I'm just standing there in my undies and I was like what do you do now? There's people down the aisle and stuff. So I just turned around and I said

you're lucky I'm wearing undies today. And what, picked up your sarong and got on with your shopping and back and save? Yep, that's right. Good. I mean, sarong, risky clothing to wear to a supermarket. Yeah, it is. Especially, yeah, it is.

Never do that again, eh? You only wear a sarong to the supermarket once. Yeah, yeah, that's enough. Jo, do you agree that I can wear a dressing gown to the supermarket? Yeah, we do in Wainui. Yeah, of course you do. What have you seen at the supermarket in Wainui? Not that great of things, you know.

Not anything like wow. Oh, right, Just people shopping. Not wow. Yeah, people shopping. Well, you gave us the wow story. What more do you want from Jo? She's like, I'm giving you some gold. Now you want another story.

What else do you say? I was like, I might have wrong fell off in the same way. Sorry, Jo. Put you on the spot there, mate. You're a good sport. You have a great day. Yes, we do. A-grade celebrity chat with C-grade celebrity hosts,

Jono and Ben on the hits. The Commonwealth Games is on right now. A whole lot of medals for New Zealand. We're doing really well. And the fifth gold medal for Dame Sophie Pascoe in the swimming in 100 metres over the weekend. And we're underway. Sophie Pascoe under a bit of pressure early.

Neck and neck with the Australian swimmer. Now Pascoe will look to put the jets down, and there we see her just gliding through the water. She's going to have to hold on here. Sophie Pascoe heads for the wall. She does it again. Sophie Pascoe, the swimming dame, is golden once more. What a champagne bit of commentary, too.

Thanks so much to Gold for that bit of commentary. Gold commentary. Sophie Pascoe. That was a to Gold for that bit of commentary. Gold commentary. Sophie Pascoe! That was a ripper. That was bloody good. Now, Bee Humps, producer Bee Humps,

fastidious producer, isn't he? And he messaged us on the weekend. He's like, got an exclusive, Sophie Pascoe, you want an interview?

And we're like, yes we would. Yeah, love to talk to her. And he said, great, it's between 4 and 5pm on Sunday. We're like,

bang, we'll be there. So that was last night? And then he messaged again and he said, sorry, mix up in comms. I meant 4 and 5am on Sunday. No, I didn't get this message. He just messaged you first.

And I said, well, let's not message Ben and let him believe it's still at 4 to 5pm and we'll have some fun with this first thing in the morning. But before we'll have some fun with this first thing in the morning but before we got to the fun with Ben we did have a bit of a conversation with Sophie fresh off her win

Sophie Pascoe come on down hello can you hear me yes that was a very confused start to the interview Soph sometimes I get a little confused start to the interview, Soph. Sometimes I get a little confused.

Well, well done to you. A gold medal first off the bat. Now, I've been looking at your medal totals. 29 golds in total over, you know, Olympic Games, World Champs and Comm Games, etc. 29 gold, 10 silver and 7 bronze. What do you do? Where do you keep all of these medals? Because I'm looking at 39.

There's nearly 50 medals there you've got to manage. Glad you did the calculating for me because I wouldn't have known. Where do you keep them all? They are in a bag at my parents' house, actually. Yeah, they don't tend to get out very often. I was going to say, well, that's not very special at all. Because I, you know, I'm also a medal winner in the past. I've completed a couple of Wheat Bix triathlons, Kiwi Kids triathlons.

And I always hung my medal, you know, on your bedroom door handle. Yeah, I'm still waiting for my father to build me a cabinet. That probably won't happen until maybe my retirement. Who knows? Or you've got so many medals, you could just hang them on every door handle around the house. Yeah, or maybe he's just wanting to keep all the medals at their house. Another big question too.

Who updates your Wikipedia page? Because I went on there to do it for you, but someone had beaten me to the chase. I got silver in that one. I don't tend to look at the Wikipedia. I don't know if that's really... That's not your main focus. It hasn't been the main focus while I've been here. Yeah, right.

Okay, well, you know, have a look at the Wikipedia now. It's been updated for you. Someone got on there and did it. Now, are you done now? Yeah, I had one race yesterday and I am finished. So I'm now chief cheerleader for our squad. It's a very exciting time for me because I don't usually get to have the luxury of being finished on the first day. I was going to say, yeah, it's like me at a party.

You get in early, you leave early, you're out early. You basically can be a tourist you can go to harry potter the studio tour visit buckingham palace at some point oh yeah hopefully those are in the pipeline for me but no you'll see me down at the pool um cheering on all my fellow teammates we've got such an awesome team uh we're just so supportive of one another oh that's wonderful that's good to hear when you're swimming what are you thinking about do thinking about? Do you actually think about, oh, you know, I've got to, you know, fill up the car or get some milk and bread on the way home? Do you think about stuff that's not swimming while you're competing? Not while I'm competing, but I can definitely say

I think about those things that I'm training almost yet, what to cook for dinner tonight. While you're swimming? Yeah, of course. I mean, can you imagine swimming up and down a black line for 16 years? Of course you're going to start thinking about it. Start to think about it. Black line's not that riveting at times. No, when you put it that way, swimming up and down a black line for 16 years, it makes your sport sound bleak, Sophie. I know.

I would say it's probably one of the loneliest sports for sure. Have you ever swum past a plaster? Yes. Yep. It's definitely not nice. No. Or hairballs. It's amazing how many plasters end up in pools.

Yes. To everyone, please take your plasters off before you get in the pool. Yeah. And that's from a gold medal winning athlete. Nearly 50 medals in total. We've covered off the stats. So there you go. That's what we gold medal winning athlete. Yeah, nearly 50 medals in total. We've covered off the stats. So there you go. That's what we take away from that.

Just don't take your plasters into pools. That's from Sophie Pascoe. Maybe she should do a bit of a PSA campaign when she gets back to New Zealand. She's awesome. Dame Sophie Pascoe, fifth gold medal in the Commonwealth Games. Yeah, so that was yesterday morning, 4.30 in the morning. Now, Ben, you thought the interview was at 4.30 in the afternoon, mixed up in comms, comm games.

Well, you didn't tell me. Yeah, comms, yeah, you're right. And I thought, well, it would be monstrous of me, because I know how much you like to prepare for you not to be able to ask your questions. So after 8 o'clock, Sophie and me, we phoned you first thing in the morning. Yeah, first thing, isn't it? 4.30.

Have we got him on the line? No. Morning, mate. Mate, it's me. It's just Jono. How are you? I've got Sophie. Are you there? Oh, yep, I'm here.

Yep. I've got Sophie. There was a little bit of a mix-up in comms, buddy. There's a mix-up in... I'm sorry, you're on the... We've got Sophie Pascoe. There was a mix-up in comms, buddy. There was a mix-up in... I'm sorry, you're on the... We've got Sophie Pascoe. There was a mix-up in comms. It was actually between 4 and 5 in the morning,

not 4 and 5 in the afternoon. This is what happens today, mate, later. I can't... No-one can hear you. Put the thing to your mouth. Put the phone to your mouth. Sorry. What's happening? Sophie's here.

Yeah, say hello to Sophie Pascoe. She won a medal, mate. Sophie Pascoe? Hey. How's Birmingham? Hey. Good morning. Morning.

How's Birmingham? Birmingham. It's a lovely place. Hey, Ben. Yeah, I think it's great. Ben, that was a shocking First question mate And it didn't get much

Better than that Scrolling through your feed He's not addicted to booze But he is addicted to news Ben what's going on In scrolling Oh a lot of A lot of talk about

The Commonwealth Games It's been so good to watch Over the weekend We're now at eight golds Another one in the cycling This morning We've got swimming golds Cycling golds

The women's sevens rugby Just They're just a very close game against Canada. But they've got bronze, which is awesome. I know they were disappointed not to be playing in the gold medal game. And right now, New Zealand are taking on Australia in the Men's Sevens again for bronze. And leading 14-7 at the moment with six and a half minutes into the game. Do you know, George Jackson, who's one of the cyclists, and they just won gold over an hour ago, and he was on the TV, and he's got

this mullet, an exquisite looking mullet. Oh, so good. I could only dream of locks like this, and he's really shaved up the sides, hasn't he? It reminds me of that episode of The Simpsons, where Mr Burns has got a baseball team, and he keeps telling the baseball player to shave his... Get rid of the sideburns, yeah. Get rid of the sideburns, you hippie. And we said, well, this one's gold medal for mullet of the baseball team, and he keeps telling the baseball players, get rid of the sideburns, get rid of the sideburns, you hippie.

And we said, well, this one's gold medal for Mullet of the Commonwealth Games. And he's just messaged back saying, thanks a lot, guys. Yeah, that's pretty awesome. How cool is technology? The fact that he's just over there. He's over there, mate. Do you know where England is? Ages away.

He messaged on back. So we'll keep you up to date throughout the morning of the latest from the Commonwealth Games. But Will Smith, last week we were just saying, well, no one the latest from the Commonwealth Games. But Will Smith. Last week we were just saying, well, no one has heard anything for a few months from Will Smith. Where is he? What's going on? Maybe he listened to our podcast because he came up over the weekend. He's a big fan.

With an apology video. And he sort of looked at questions. A lot of the questions that people wanted to know. Or did he do it? Did it have to submit any questions? Yeah. Risky player. So he sort of read out the questions and then he responded to it. And he first spoke about

had he reached out to Chris Rock or not? That was a question that a lot of people wanted to know. I've reached out to Chris and the message that came back is that he's not ready to talk. And when he is, he will reach out so I will I will say to

you Chris I apologize to you my behavior was unacceptable and I'm here whenever you're ready to talk oh good on him good on him uh and I noticed he mentioned Tony Rock too who's Chris Rock's brother a big rock family and uh Tony Rock went on stage the day after the event and kind of mowed into Will Smith and Will said we were very close friends him and Tony and he's like I think that relationships are repairable other questions that Will Smith answered in the video if you missed it over the weekend that he spoke about Jada his wife and just like because Jada sort of gave what looked like a bit of an eye roll to the joke from Chris Rock and everyone was saying you know did she ask you to go up and do something about what was going on here's what Will Smith had to say after Jada rolled her eyes did she tell you to do something? No.

It's like I made a choice on my own, from my own experiences, from my history with Chris, Jada had nothing to do with it. And finally, what would you like to say

to people that looked up to Will Smith? You know, this is fans. This is you. You looked up to him. You had fresh Prince of Bel-Air shorts. I did. I'm wearing shorts as well. They were hideous shorts, but you had them.

I love those shorts. This is what Will Smith had to say to the people that feel a little bit let down. The work I'm trying to do is I am deeply remorseful. And I'm trying to be remorseful without being ashamed of myself. Yeah, so you're going, we are all human. We are all human, we all make mistakes. And I tell you what, I've got a little saying being voice. I came up with it the other day, and I want you to put this on my gravestone.

It's easier to judge people than it is not to judge people. Isn't it? It's easy to judge people than it is not to judge people isn't it it's easier to judge people than it is not to judge for example if you've never had an addiction how can you judge people with addictions you've never been through what they've been through we don't know what caused Will Smith to do that what led to that

who are we to judge and what's been going on with him for the last few months as well put that on my gravestone promise me say I'll put that on your gravestone. Promise me. Say, I'll put that on your gravestone. Not all the weird Will Smith stuff at the end. Just the quote. Oh, just that.

The Hits. Look out! Scary dinosaurs. Not Jurassic Park. It's these guys. Jono and Ben on The Hits. What's up, Nights? Four minutes away from 8 o'clock on your Monday morning.

A couple more goals this morning in the pool at the Commonwealth Games. Josh Wilmer, just 17 years old. Congratulations. Awesome moment to see on the telly. And Lewis Clever already won a gold yesterday. Won his second gold of the games. More gold than... Oh, no. Here we go.

Here we go. Michael Hall-Jeweler. Oh, there you go. That's good. Thank you. Having a sale. Having a gold-based sale. Yeah.

I thought it was cleverer than that, but yeah. Oh, so we're third in the medal tally at the moment. We're doing great. We're doing fantastic. 17 in total. Beautiful. Australia number one. Bloody Aussies, 46.

No. Let's start breaking it down per capita, shall we, Australia? Let's do that. Let's start doing that. Hey, I think I've finally... Well, for many years, Ben, you've publicly stated that I've had my ongoing stresses and issues with the email system. A lot of the times I'll let the emails build up, boom, boom, boom, boom, like a festering pimple, then pop them all on a Sunday, fire them all off in one hit on a Sunday morning. And this frustrates you to no end.

I get a barrage of emails. I know. Old mate's checking his emails because I'm often with the emails that are sent to me and you, so I get a whole lot of, all in caps, replies Yeah, um well I think I've finally hacked the matrix when it comes to email and this is something you can probably

probably insert into your emailing every week and I don't know if you've noticed that on my work email, so we've got the company email here which that horse has bolted for me. Like, jeez, it's just in the thousands. And I need to be better at it, and I tell myself I need to be better at it, and I'm not.

So what I've done is I've just attached an automatic reply going, hi, I'm really shocking at checking this email, so to make up for my lack of professionalism, I've written this automatic reply. Yeah, but that's not, I've seen this because I get this bounce back as well. But that's a reply. That's great.

But then you don't reply after that reply. That's, in your mind, is that the reply? That's the reply. That's like I've acknowledged, I've received it. Well, I'm probably not going to look at it. It's like the electronic version of the back in five sign on a shop. Except I never come back in five. So just put an automatic reply on everything.

We've got a joint email, Ben and me. Yeah, I noticed you put one on there. I put it on there as well. I sent one to that the other day. I said, sorry, we're shocking at checking this. We may or may not get back to you. Again, but it's just acknowledging people. You know, people want to be acknowledged.

Oh, we've received your email. We're not going to do anything about it. But at least we've got the email there. So it's still building up. Your emails are still building up. I mean, I'm probably going to get a message from Baycorp. They're going to go, well, this dimwit's like, he's seen my email, but he's not going to reply to me.

They've got pranks They've got puns Now they just need some actual listeners Jono and Ben on the hits We're loving the Commonwealth Games They're on again at the moment in Birmingham Over the weekend we had an interview With Dame Sophie Pascoe

Amazing swimmer for New Zealand Won her fifth Commonwealth Games gold It came through producer Bee Humps On Saturday, directly after she won. He's on the phone. He's tearing it up with the Olympic media person, the Commonwealth Games media person.

He's like, Pascoe, 4 to 5 p.m. Sunday, you're keen. That was the text. We said, yes, we are. Yeah, love to talk to her. And then he messaged, so he actually called me again. He's actually, sorry, Berg mix-up in communications. I meant 4 to 5 a.m. Our time.

Yeah, that's a huge mix-up in communications. I meant 4 to 5 a.m. Out time. Yeah, that's a huge mix-up in communications. He said a bit of a mix-up. Anyway, so I said, listen, I'm willing to come in at 4 a.m. to do this interview, but let's not tell Ben. That's what I said to producer Humphrey. And we're going to play a little bit of a jolly trick on you.

So we woke up, got in, 4.30.30am, spoke to Sophie Pascoe. When you're swimming, what are you thinking about? Do you actually think about, oh, you know, I've got to, you know, fill up the car or get some milk and bread on the way home? Do you think about stuff that's not swimming while you're competing? Not while I'm competing, but I can definitely say I think about those things that I'm training almost yet, what to cook for dinner tonight.

While you're swimming? Yeah, of course. I mean, can you imagine swimming up and down a black line for 16 years? Of course you're going to start thinking about it. Start to think about it. Black line's not that riveting at times. No, when you put it that way, swimming up and down a black line for 16 years, it makes your sport sound bleak, Sophie.

So I'd had my questions, so I got my questions out of the way. I was fully satisfied. But I was like, you know who's missing out on asking Sophie their questions? It was my friend Ben. You weren't there. Well, no, because I thought the interview was in the afternoon, at 4 o'clock in the evening, and I was a bit asleep. Now, one thing about Ben is that you prep for an interview.

You've got questions prepared, and I knew you would have had questions to ask Sophie. Well, I didn't because I was going to do it. I had all day to do that. So I was going to do that on Sunday. There was no way I was letting my friend miss out. I wasn't prepared. I was asleep.

There was no way I was letting my friend miss out on an interview with a gold medal winning. It's a confusing call to get at 4.30 in the morning. Okay, here we go. Have we got him on the line? Morning, mate. Mate, it's me. It's just Jono. How are you?

I've got Sophie. There was a little bit of a mix-up in comms, buddy. We've got Sophie Pascoe. There of a mix-up in comms, buddy. We've got Sophie Pascoe. There was a mix-up in comms. It was actually between 4 and 5 in the morning, not 4 and 5 in the afternoon. This is what happens today, mate, later. No one can hear you.

Put the thing to your mouth. Put the phone to your mouth. Sorry. What's happening? Sophie's here. Yeah, say hello to Sophie Pascoe. She won a medal, mate. Sophie Pascoe? Hey won a medal, mate. Sophie Pascoe?

Hey. Good morning. Morning. How's Birmingham? Birmingham. It's a lovely place. Ben, that was a shocking first question, mate. Listen, I know you're not going to get the chance to ask your questions

because you didn't know the time of the interview, so just fire off a few quick ones to Sophie. I was not expecting this. Sophie, we know your friend Lucy. Do you know that? Lucy, my friend, my best friend. I love Lucy. Ben, again, we know your friend Lucy.

It's not really a question, but... Yeah, it's not a question. Okay, I was not expecting this. I can definitely say that she is my bestie. She's her best friend, she can confirm. Okay, have you got any other hot fire questions there for Sophie Pascoe?

I did have a question when I was watching the swimming the other day. What's your favourite colour? Anything like that? How cold is the pool? How cold is the pool? Is that what you said? Yeah, that's what he asked.

I think it's at 26, which is not too bad. It's quite nice. It's a good day. That's good. That was a good question, John nice. It's a good deal. That's good. That was a good question, Jono, wasn't it? Surely that was a good question. Listen, I don't think this is going to win Best Sports Interview at the Radio Awards

in 2023. Well, I had all day to prepare for this, I thought. But anyway. Listen, we'll let you get back to sleep, mate. I'm sorry. This is very lowbrow of me. I apologise. I don't know who the prank's on. I got up at 4 o'clock in the morning to come to work. I'm so confused by this one.

Ben, go back to bed. I am in bed. Sophie Pascoe, congratulations. You're an absolute champion. We are so proud of you. A wonderful ambassador for our country. You keep safe over there and enjoy not having to do any sports while watching the others play.

Oh, thanks so much. I appreciate it. She was awesome. That call wasn't awesome. Yeah. I can't remember the last time I got home at 5 a.m. on a Sunday morning, but it's a bleak reflection of my life that the only time I do it now is for work.

Coffee breath. Jono and Ben on the hits. The Commonwealth Games has been awesome to watch over the weekend. Really enjoyed it. A couple more golds for New Zealand this morning, which is great to see. Some swimming and cycling as well. So we're doing really, really well.

Yeah, we want to talk about, you know, we're celebrating, you know, all these medal winners, and rightfully so, Ben. They've worked hard, some would say their entire life, to get to the stage they're performing on right now. But there's other people out there who've played sports. You know, social netball. You do social netball every now and then, don't you? Yeah, I enjoy that when I do get to play that.

And these people aren't recognised during times like this. The light's taken away from them. So we want to shine a light on your memorable achievements on the sporting field. You can text us 4487 or 0800 to the hits. Much like our dear friend Karen is done. Welcome. How are you? I'm is done. Welcome. How are you? I'm good, thank you.

How are you? Oh, good. It's lovely to hear your voice this morning. Now, Karen, we have discussed this with other Karens and we like to ask all the Karens that come on the show. Last two years, been a bit of brand damage towards Karen. Yeah.

How have you found it on a personal note? It's horrible. Yeah. Yeah, I've just changed my name actually. It worked. I used to have to wear a badge with Karen on it. So if you got someone that was a little bit grumpy, yeah, you got a little bit of flack for it.

So I've just changed it to my nickname. Oh, fair enough. Yeah, because I say many times I know a lot of great Karens, and you sound like another great one as well. So I'm sorry that this has happened. What's your nickname, Kazza or something? No, if I tell you, then everyone's going to know who it is. Yeah, fair enough.

And they're going to be like, you're the Karen hiding behind a nickname. I am, too. All right, Karen, we're talking about memorable moments from the sporting field for the Comm Games. What happened? I know. It was the Christchurch. We had a really popular skate rink then because there wasn't much else to do. You mean ice skating rink

ice skating yep and uh fell over and landed on my knees so the feet then can you imagine what the skates were like then like they were huge so we had the long front and the long back so landed on the knee the skate went straight in the bum oh oh i see okay so your knees bottom part of your leg is flicked up behind you. Yep. And the skate's gone straight into my bum, making a new hole. Oh, so it went slicing into your cheek?

Yes. Okay, so you've got... Is it stuck in there? Yeah. Oh, so your leg's folded back behind you with an ice skate stuck in your bottom. It did. So that's what I sat on. Had to go to hospital.

I couldn't get it out. So they had to leave the leg bent with the skate in it on the bed in the ambulance and got taken to hospital and got the six switches in my bum. Oh, so you went to hospital with the ice skate. Pulled your leg out of your bottom in the hospital. Yeah, well, they didn't know how far it had gone. Technically, I think it's a pretty hard ice skating move to replicate. So you would have got great bottom in the hospital. Yeah, well, they didn't know how far it had gone. Technically, I think it's a pretty hard ice skating move to replicate, so you would have got great points with the judges, but...

I'm going to give problems to them in the evening, so it won't get wide. And you thought Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan was the worst injury on an ice skating rink. Karen has come through. I will listen lovely to you. And have you got a scar there now? Oh, God, Dave, it's been a long time since I looked at my butt.

Yeah. Send us a pic, mate. Very funny. Send us a pic. I'll look at it. All right, Jono. Good on you, Karen. Lovely talking to you, Karen.

Bye. See you, mate. Have a good day. See you. I don't know if you've noticed that with your kids, Jono, but I thought I was pretty good with keeping up to up to speed across you know the kids breaking down you know using acronyms using abbreviations for words no we've got too many too many acronyms out there i remember a time when you had two lol lots of lubricant i don't think that's what that means wtf

where's the forks you know those are the two ones. We all knew what they were and what they stood for. But yeah, I'm not too bad. You know, when it's like the kids are messaging me or whatever, BRB, I'm like, you know, let's be right back. Or SMH, it's the one I know now, shake my head, you know, things like that. But I've got to the stage now where I'm having to... Is it shake or smack?

Yeah. No, it's shaking my head. I thought it was smack my head. Oh my God, I need to get up here. It is also smack. I guess it could be like a... Yeah, I thought it was like, head. No, it's not shaking my head. Oh, my God. I need to get up there. It is also smack. I guess it could be like a... Yeah, I thought it was like, oh. Yeah, like one of those as well. That kind of works.

Well, I might have it wrong as well. Hey, I'll Google it after this. This is what I'm happy to do. This is what I'm happy to do. Nothing makes you feel more out of touch than having to Google acronyms, you know? Because my daughter the other day texted me something, and then I saw it, but I didn't actually respond. And then she texted her a PTB, and I just left it.

I thought maybe it was a typo. I can tell you what that is now. Please text back. Yeah, yeah. And I'm basic. Yeah, but I ignored it. I was just like, I don't know, PTB, and then I get PTB again. I'm like, oh, this must be please text back.

So I'm at the stage where I'm having to Google the odd thing just to try to be up across with, you know, across with it. So yesterday I was like, you know, all right, quiz me. Let's have a go. Let's see how we go. You say some of the abbreviations. I'll see if I can guess on the spot. No, it wasn't great.

Okay, what does TY mean? Totally yuck. No, thank you. Okay. Okay, GB. Oh, okay, can I say good? Okay, no, goodbye. I. Okay, GB. Oh, okay, can I say a good... Okay, no, goodbye. I thought it was close.

Okay, H-A-K. H-A-K, hate angry Karen. Hugs and kisses. Okay, yeah. Okay, Y-D-Y-M. Why dance, you munter? What do you mean? Okay, that was close. It wasn't close, it wasn't close. No, you manta? What do you mean? Okay, that was nice.

It wasn't close. No, you were doing well. But you know, I've just Googled. There's over 1.1 million acronyms we can use when you're texting. And some of them are more confusing than the original thing. You know, like some of them are just, you know. Yeah, by the time that you've had to use your data and Google what the acronym is, just type out the sentence. Just type out the sentence.

Even like, you know, I-Y-K-Y-K. If you know, you know. I-Y-K-Y-K-Y-K. If you know, you know. Well, I didn't know. I had to Google that. I had to use the thing just to go, just, you know, just. Anyway, I feel like it's a couple of old men ranting right now.

It is. It definitely is. What is this? Newstalk ZB? Is this the day show on Newstalk ZB? The boss is here. We're going upstairs to Newstalk ZB. Well, I tell you what, we'll BRB after this A.B.

And break. BRB, yeah, baby. That was good. Yeah, that was nice. The Hits. For more podcasts from The Hits Network, check out iHeartRadio.co.nz.
