Welcome along, this is the Jono and Ben podcast Thanks to Dilma Making the world a better tea Do try it Yeah, thanks very much to Dilma for coming on board with the show It's really cool, challenging us to drink tea in the mornings And we're giving away our tea this week on the show And this is the podcast of course

And we were just talking about this on the radio before In America, a couple guys recording their podcasts in a cafe in houston and a car just ended up driving into the window behind them have a listen listen to how chill they were too i think we're fine i think we're fine. I think we got all the audio on there. Yeah, we're chilling. Everyone's there. Yeah, we're chill. We're chill.

Oh, wouldn't we chill? Yeah, no screaming, no mad panic. It was just... And I guess that's what you get for recording your podcast in a cafe. We've been there before. We do shows out of cafes, and you're loud, you're yelling, you've got headphones on.

You can't quite gauge what the ambience of the room is, and you're loud you're yelling, you've got headphones on you can't quite gauge what the ambience of the room is and you're just like it's 8.29, there's Harry Styles, all the hits cafes are generally quiet, a lot of murmuring but not shouting it reminded me actually, my old

neighbour that used to live next to us for many years in Masterton, she was getting her eyes checked, she was an elderly know elderly lady and um she got her eyes checked she went back to the car and she as she put it to forward instead of reverse and she drove like that straight through the window of the optometrist after getting her eyes checked it was like oh everyone's like who checks doris's eyes yeah but she smashed she smashed up the window. Fortunately, she was okay. But yeah, she went straight forward into the optometrist as well. And she also had, she'd also been to the supermarket,

got her supplies and had gin in the car and that smashed. And everyone was like, oh, it smells a bit like alcohol in here. And she hadn't been drinking. But yeah. And so was that to get her license? Well, I don't know. That irony would have been. Yeah, well, maybe it was.

It would have been like, maybe not. But yeah. Sometimes you see, you know, they're always just in tiny, tiny little cars. If you're behind someone in a tiny, tiny little vehicle and you can't see their head over their headrests, they're always going to be a pain in the ass. They're always traveling at 25 k's an hour. Usually between, because we do drive home sometimes in the house. They're always travelling at 25 k's an hour. Usually between, because we do drive home

sometimes in the morning, between the hours of 10.30 and 11.30, that is prime. Prime little car, little people territory. I love when you're behind someone like that

and it's like they're stopping, they're slowly, they're slowly like, are they indicating? Are they pulling over? Are they what? You know, you have to sort of play

that guessing game where they're like, they're not indicating. You don't know what they're doing but they're slowly like are they indicating are they pulling over are they what you know you have to sort of play that guessing game where they're like they're not indicating though you don't know what they're doing but they're just sort of gradually rolling and stopping and then suddenly they're like no they're turning no they're whatever you know like that's that's when you do like we talk about today on the show your arms up and they're oh what are you doing so a moment mouth off and so they can see you in the rear vision you've got to make sure that but you never like no one ever acts like that outside of their car. No. For the most part.

But some people do. But the majority of us don't. We're walking through public. Hey, buddy, what are you doing? You know, we don't do that. Maybe in New York, that's the... You know, where they talk about it. Yeah, I'm walking near...

You know, that's the thing. I remember my nana. I distinctly remember my nana. She was still driving at the time. You okay there? Where are you off to? I was going to get Megan Puppers. Megan Puppers.

One second. Megan Puppers is Megan Puppers. One second. Megan Puppers is here. She went to Harry Styles. I'm going to get Megan Puppers for the podcast intro. It's hard to pluralise your name, isn't it? Puppers.

Megan Puppers. Megan, what was your review of Harry Styles? One word review of Harry Styles. When you give me one word, it hits me right. Too many words. Fabulous. Fabulousulous It's a good word

It was incredible It seems like it was incredible I was literally just showing people Videos of when he controls the crowd Because there was like 37,000 people there And he puts his arms in the air It's deafening screams And then when he puts his arms down

It was like a pin drop It was incredible all those girls and women were like putty in his hands he commands an audience my mother would say Hitler I mean Hitler and Harry I think Hitler when I think of Harry

not at all Hitler loved a feather bowler famously don't get involved in this. Can you eat? No, stop it. I had the room eating out of his hand. Oh, but no.

But for all the wrong stuff, mate. Wrong stuff. You know, like if you're going to look up to anyone, definitely that's one of the worst, most horrible people. 100%. His motto was also treat people with kindness. No, it wasn't. And that's all right.

The showmanship was there with both of them. Okay, thanks for that. Jono, that's enough. Wrapping it up. All right, here we go. Here's the show. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Harry Styles last night looked incredible.

Mount Smart Stadium, 40,000 people, his love on tour show. People in cowboy hats, glitter, feather boas. As you suggested, Jono, it was very much like a lot of people dressed for a hens party. The world, New Zealand's biggest hens do. That's incredible. Should have had an opening act of a stripper or something. Magic Mike.

Would have gone down a treat. Probably a bit weird with some of the... No, actually, it would have been. A lot of mums and daughters there as well. In fact, my wife came with my daughter. Yeah, so now you're pitching a stripper? Come on, mate. Well, maybe there's an after act.

Kids, you go home. Those old enough, this musty guy will be taking his kit off and you can get your feather bows in the air. A lot of talk about the Cs last night. I was reading reviews this morning. Charisma, charm, colour. Lots of colour in the audience. And the census.

That was the other big important thing. The four Cs. The C bombs. Now, because that was the big question. It was, I don't know why. How nerdy does our country look? I was thinking about that this morning. We get like a pop star who's cool, tattooed.

You know, he's cool. He's good looking. And we're like, have you done the census? Are you doing the census? I mean, that's our big question to Harry Styles. But we lose our cool factor when he has to go through customs. Yes, true. Do you have an apple?

Yeah. We're like, play it cool. Let him bring his apples in. But he is to go through customs. Yes, true. Do you have an apple? Yeah. That's what we're like, hey, play it cool. Let him bring his apples in. But he did talk about the census, one of the opening things that he talked about and the fact that he had completed it. Done it.

We're going to have to stop the show, fill out the paperwork and then we'll be able to continue. So everyone's good. Everyone's done it. I've done it. How's that? I've done it.

Woo! You've done the census. First time the census has ever hit us. Woo! Census! He definitely didn't do it. Well, someone else would have done it. Someone else did it. Yeah.

Producer Joel, you went along to the concert last night. It looked incredible. It was, yeah, it blew me away. I now know why my girlfriend is probably more in love with him than she is with me. Did you find that there was room in the show for a male stripper? Like if we're going to do one like later, pre, before, what are you thinking? Yeah, maybe if there was an R16 version,

but it was honestly like 99% girls. Yeah, it was a good time, good time. Everyone waiting there, even the night before, I was saying last night, people were camping outside as well. People were waiting hours. They were crying at the end because, you know, it was all over,

which I don't understand. Everyone gets swept up in it. And you don't see concerts like that in New Zealand, actually at all, where people go to that much effort to dress up and to celebrate. I thought it was really, really cool to see. It was,

it was so fun. I got dressed up. I was swept up in the, in the Harry Madness. And yeah, but I felt like. What'd you wear? Your most colorful Warriors top top or something i did see someone wearing a bright orange warrior shirt as well which i respect the harry styles edition of the warrior's top 2007

the brightest top yet he also sung kiwi uh he dedicated it to new zealand one of his songs as well that was the last song he played uh and he also a little bit of one direction crept in there as well and he talked about how how he took a photo the other day of him at a gym wearing a One Direction T-shirt, and it sounded like that was a mistake. He shared it with his story. I think we've got the audio. Maybe, maybe like some people,

you choose to keep it to yourself, and maybe one day you'll accidentally post it to your Instagram story. She's the girl who can say anything and they'll scream. That was actually Joel's audio. That was Joel. Just scream. Your voice is a bit sore this morning. Yeah, I did get screamed up in the madness.

So poor One Direction. Are they now his gym shirts? Yeah, true. The rest of the guys will be like, are we a gym shirt now? Yeah, you're right. And he's like, I didn't even mean to put it on Instagram. They're like, and you're embarrassed of us?

Yeah, true. It's not even a going out shirt. It's just a sweaty gym shirt. It's a gym shirt. You know, eventually after eight months, it'll just begin to permanently smell like sweat. It'll be a rag eventually. He'll be like ragging the car within the weekend, won't he?

Cleaning his mags. Oh, yeah. Harry Styles, very, very cool to have him in the country. After seven o'clock this morning, actually, we want one-word reviews from people. So if you had gone along, 4487 is the text. What is your one-word review for Harry Styles? We had Joel's one. The hits, the Jonah and Ben podcast.

Of course, yesterday was Census Day as well as Harry Styles in the country, filling out the forms, whether you did them manually or online. Everyone's meant to complete them, the dwelling as well. I like the first question, are you a robot? Which I don't think was part. Did you pass that? Yeah, I don't think that was an official government question, but that was what popped up as well on my, just to make sure.

Is it Michael McIntyre who does that funny bit? He's like, it makes you start to question if you actually are a robot. We put up the blurry pictures of drafts with squares. Oh, yeah, where you're like, which is the lamppost in the pictures or the traffic light? You're like, I think it's this one. Maybe I'm a robot, okay.

But how did you go to the census? Because you've got Jenny. Jenny, your mum's staying. Yeah, my mum was there as well. Does that mean she has to live with you for the next five years until the next census? Yeah, my mum's staying at the moment. But my wife did a lot of the heavy

lifting last night on the census uh which was cool but i did tag in for a little bit but a lot of debate the kind of about how many how many hours a week i work without getting paid well you know just in general you had to put together how many hours a week you put together for your job and work and that got into like oh you're working oh but you're always you're like oh here we go you know one of those conversations oh yeah oh what's amanda saying you're doing too much on your computer i see i'm like oh i'm off the computer at that time each day oh are you because i'm yeah yeah so that's you know it's true but a lot of it's emailing yeah a lot of us you're like they're emails i'm an emailer yeah that's what i thought but anyway i got into one of those conversations so last night uh jenny when you

i've always wanted to ask you this. When your mum comes to say, do you say, it's Jenny in home? Like when she's in your house? No, I don't, but I will now. Please do that. I will now. It's great. You stay with roast dinner on a Tuesday night?

I mean, I've never had a roast dinner on a Tuesday night. We clean up after a roast though, isn't it? Yeah, but no, it's great. You know, great to have her here. It's great sometimes. My parents come in from Christchurch today as well. Oh, everything,

John Boyle will be fixing everything, Annie will be folding everything. Yeah. It's like having in-house cleaners and stuff. Like you have the royal family or something, yeah. But there we go, well done.

And what did Jenny do? Did she fill out her census? Yes, she did. Yeah, she jumped on as well. So we all did the census last night and sent it away. You said she lived five weeks on a boat or something? Oh yeah, we were talking about that last night. Yeah, just when she

did her OE, we were talking about that. And she went to the UK on a boat. It took five and a half weeks to get there. Five and a half weeks! She said it was awesome. She said it was the time of her life. Sounds like a flotilla of bacteria and disease. Yeah. Five and a half weeks.

It's a long time. I mean, you go on a cruise ship for maybe one or two weeks, but she was, yeah. Three and a half weeks longer than the Titanic, mate. Five and a half weeks. And they got to the UK and then had to turn around and come back. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Hello, this is Lewis Capaldi,

who's got bronchitis at the moment touring overseas. So hopefully a quick coffee for him. Bronchitis? Ain't nobody got time for that. Ain't nobody got time for that. You're right. No one actually. And it was a wonderful state. Do you remember that, Producer Joel? I do. I was deep in that. Wonderful viral meme of a lady being interviewed on the news.

And she's like, I've got bronchitis. Ain't nobody got time for that. And she did right. Yeah. No one can factor in bronchitis. Lord Jesus, it's a fart. Then I ran out. I didn't grab no shoes or nothing, Jesus. I ran for my life.

And then the smoke got her. I got bronchitis. Ain't nobody got time for that. Ain't nobody got time for that. There's no convening at time to I got bronchitis. Ain't nobody got time for that. Ain't nobody got time for that. No, you're true. There's no convenient time to schedule in bronchitis. She's right.

She's right. Bronchitis and COVID. Yeah. Two things that no one, ain't nobody got time for both of those. We're doing joining jobs this morning

Okay, alright, everyone's going to win this morning. Help pizza, add some toolbar tea coming your way. Thank you so much for calling. Really appreciate it. Have a great day. Thank you. Love you all. Free flowing banter, eh?

That's good. It's hard because they're all at the same, but you love it though, don't you? I do. You do this every week. I just love sitting back in conference calling people up. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Now, traffic, it happens in the morning, doesn't it?

People commute, Ben, in cars, trains, buses, if you're Mike Hosking, helicopters. Yeah. Whatever you choose. Now, we want to do a national traffic report, okay? You just phone us, 0800 the hits. Tell us what the traffic's doing in your centre right now. It might be absolutely fine. Okay.

You know, I'm on the west coast in Greymouth. Nothing. No one. Drove past a cow or something, you know, just before. Yeah, you can call us right now, 4487 on the text. Yeah, because there's been a big chemical truck fire about three o'clock this morning. Auckland's Southern Motorway is closed.

A part of it is closed, a section of it after a huge chemical truck fire sent projectiles into people's property. Properties, about 30 residents have been evacuated overnight. Hopefully no one's been hurt by the truck fire, but it's causing a lot of carnage out there this morning. And a lot of delays too.

Our wonderful newsreader, Sam Worthington, stuck in the traffic now. She joins us live from the motorway. Morena. Morena. Morena. Stuck on the Motang.

What's happening? Well, there was a bit of a chemical truck explosion early this morning. So what time did you leave your house? Around just before 4.30. And so the explosion was obviously on, the truck was on the motorway at the time? Yeah, yeah. So I think it happened about 3am and it was near Papakura.

On the motorway there, it just exploded. So you've been pretty much travelling for two hours this morning trying to get into work? Yeah. Wow. Not ideal. Has the traffic been to Stanstall? Yes, it has. I'm not in Stanstall traffic anymore, but it was pretty bad for a bit there.

Very scary. Actually, no, to be honest, did you go to Harry Styles last night? It was a late one and maybe running a little late this morning. Actually, I sold my ticket because I wanted to get a good sleep before work. Jeez, that's when you know you're a nerdy breakfast host, isn't it? Actually, I sold my tickets. I needed a good night's rest. It's a Tuesday night.

I'd do the same, Sam, don't worry. It's our bleak lives that we live. Hey, well, I'm glad it's flowing now, so there's no delays now. Oh, I think there still is delays further south, but once you get onto the motorway at Takanini, it's relatively free-flowing. All right, hey, well, thank you. Don't worry, Joel.

Producer Joel here, he's just making up the news until you're here, OK? Oh, that's perfect. I thought he needed more work to do. Thanks, Sam. Bye-bye. Bye, guys. Chantelle's just texted in from Invercargill. She's he needed more work to do. Thanks, Sam. Bye-bye. Bye, guys. Chantelle's just texted in from Invercargill. She's travelling down Deverin Street.

Yeah. Nothing wrong in Deverin Street. Just free-flowing stuff there. The roads are so wide. Remember we went to Invercargill last year? Huge roads. You start crossing the road on Monday, you get there by Tuesday. Takes you 24 hours.

And also Holly has texted on 4487 driving down Argyle Street in Blenheim. She just saw a gentleman peeing in a bush. But apart from that, traffic free-flowing and so is that urine as well. There's your early morning traffic report right around the country. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.

Today is International Women's Day. Really important day today, bringing attention to issues such as gender equality, reproduction rights and violence and abuse against women. Very important day today. And Ben, we gave ourselves a bit of our homework and it was to go home and talk to our daughters and what it means to that generation, International Women's Day. Now, I caught Poppy, my daughter, as she's on her way to Harry Styles. To be honest, I felt like there was more concentration, more effort and attention being put into her, what she was putting on clothing-wise for Harry Styles. You didn't get it at the right moment, really, did you?

I didn't, no. Yeah, that was kind of consuming her. And I was coming up with, hey, I just need you to do this radio bit. She's like, yeah, I'm just getting, you know, up with hey I just need you to do this radio but she's like yo I'm just getting you know so it was kind of in between preparation you're a pesky media reporter right you know wanting a comment like Harry Styles walking out and about just let him be

now I'm just pestering my own family they don't even want me wandering around with a phone but I got talking about some of the women she looks up to who do you look up to? my mum. Why? Because she's taller than me. That's a fact.

And because she's smart and brave and has a good job. A netball player. What's that? Can I say the netball player? You can say a netball player, yeah. Jamie Hinn. She plays for the Stars. Yeah.

What about overseas people? Is America overseas america's overseas um michelle obama to be honest it's the first time i've ever heard her say the words michelle oh well hey she is reading a book of uh women who have really pioneered over the years so i'm assuming michelle's in that book yeah and. And that's who Poppy looks up to. And then she's like, are we done now? Can I now go down? Harry Styles, get the glitter on the face

and get the sunglasses or tarts ready to go. I actually had to edit out. She's like, well, Harry Styles, if he was a woman. I was like, well, you can't. Yeah, it doesn't quite work. So I spoke to my daughters who weren't distracted by Harry Styles. They wished they were distracted by Harry Styles. They really wanted to go on.

But they were focused on your task at hand. Yeah, they actually went away. I was like, I'll go and think about it. And they came back. And here was some of their answers on International Women's Day. What does International Women's Day mean to you? Oh, we learn about this at school. Okay.

It's a day to celebrate women's achievement. And also to raise awareness about equality. Which in new zealand inspire you most and why can we do in our family yeah okay uh probably our mum and grandmas oh nice what about not in our family in new zealand sienna i think we went like we went to see the black fans play the world cup final and it was actually really inspiring to see how they played the game. The only downside was Dad, who bought a sign that blocked people's views. Okay, yeah. All right, what about a woman or women overseas that inspire you and why?

We watched the movie about the Williams sisters the other night and what they did to become successful in tennis from not having that much money. But after the movie, you went and found a tennis racket in the garage. I did. I did. I was inspired, yeah. When you're grown up, what do you hope for your future? That's a big question. Well, I think that we won't need to say that we need more equality.

It'll already be a thing. Yeah, it'll already be a thing. And also, we're hoping in our future to get paid for doing this bit for your radio show tomorrow. Okay. Same as what you and Jono get paid. Yep, right on the spot. Fair enough.

Equal. Proud of you. Ben, I love you. We're going to watch the William Sisters movies, like King Richard, he's straight out of the garage. Where's the bloody tennis rackets? We'll get you guys out on the court. I was trying to say they should be there.

I was like, hey, we've got tennis rackets in the garage. I pay for tennis rackets. We should get into guys out of the courts. I wasn't trying to say that they should be I just got I was like hey we've got tennis rackets in the garage I pay for tennis rackets we should get into tennis. Get you to Wimbledon. How long did that last? It sounds like a flash in the pan.

I just felt like we should be playing at least more tennis. Not saying that The thing with King Richard why he worked why the Williams sisters worked

is he committed to it. He wasn't just oh I've watched a movie we'll go play tennis for 10 minutes. But it is a very important day, International Women's Day, and we're going to chat to our former New Zealand Prime Minister, Helen Clark, at 8.20 today.

Who inspires her and what we could all be doing better? We'll talk to her at 8.20, but next... The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Now, we're just doing the National Traffic Report. Never done it before. The Southern Motorway stands still in some parts after a giant chemical truck exploded, firing projectiles into people's property.

Very scary, eh? That'd be terrifying. So a lot of people just sort of sitting, listening. I won't lie. It's a bloody dream for breakfast radio. Isn't it? Wow. Stuff we dream of.

Apart from the big fire and the... Yeah, but you're right. The standstill part, yes. But if we can, you know, create sort of more hazards that mean people just have to sit still in their car, Ben,

maybe that's a great little promotion for the Hits Breakfast Show. But people have been texting in with their traffic reports. Old Porirua Road, apparently free-flowing there in Porirua, just out of Wellington.

So that's good. Don't worry about that if you're travelling down there or you're about to. Oh, that's good to know. No issues. It's weird, yeah, because obviously I grew up in Masterton and so we'd be coming to Auckland

and we'd have no traffic lights in Masterton. Like that, you know, like the traffic light. That's not even a thing. You know, it's like we just, roundabouts, even that. Drive over the top of them. People not stopping. Old ladies in the road, mow through them. Just keep going.

No one stops for anyone in Masterton. But someone's just texting going, hi team, I'm in Melbourne, helping move 500 sheep down the road to another paddock. Sounds like a menace. Why am I stuck behind 500 sheep?

There you go, that's happening in Melbourne. So if you are travelling through Melbourne, just factor in 500 sheep and you commute. The Jono and Ben podcast. I noticed something and it's becoming quite prevalent, I'm finding, with the cycling community is cyclists with GoPros on top of their helmets. Oh, yeah. Have you noticed this?

Yeah. And all I'm thinking as I'm driving past and I see a cyclist with a GoPro on their helmet is like they're looking for a New Zealand Herald headline. You know, they're filming everything. If I'm cutting them off. Well, yeah. The narc camera always rolling on top of their headband. I imagine it's for their safety as well though, right?

You know, because someone will go, oh, mate, you didn't, you know, you swerve into the lane and end up like, they were in a very dangerous position on the bike. And so their safety. And then you're like, no, I didn't swerve into your lane. end up like, oh, we're in a very dangerous position on the bike. And so there's safety. And then you're like, no, I didn't swerve into your lane. You're like, yeah, you did. Oh, here's my GoPro. Oh, let me just push the top of my helmet here.

They're looking for trouble though, aren't they? No. Anyone wondering. They're looking to stay safe. They're the road version of someone with a clipboard. People with GoPros on their helmets. Now, producer Humphrey, you drive a scooter. Do you have a GoPro on your helmet?

The other thing is too, there's too many cameras. Why are we obsessed with filming everything nowadays? Why does everything have to be on camera? Bus lane cameras, GoPro cameras. No, you don't like the bus lane ones. The ticketing tank the other day. The other day, the ticketing tank drove past us, and we were walking out of the cafe,

and I flipped an unsavoury gesture to the camera. You did. Me and Producer B, I was looking at each other like, who is this person? and I flipped an unsavoury gesture to the camera. You did. Ben used to be up looking at each other like, who is this person? John O'Prior pretends to be all nice on the radio and then he's like, ticketing Jack, mate. Someone's just out there doing the job.

Oh, no, ticketing us. Ticketing him. The amount of tickets I've received off that tank. So I gave it a less than savoury gesture, Ben. I'll admit. And it'll be hopefully caught on camera somewhere. Oh, God. Yeah, so let's just stop filming stuff, guys. Treat things like a It would be hopefully caught on camera somewhere. Oh, God.

Just stop filming stuff, guys. Treat things like a hen's do or a stag do. No cameras. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. It's Pink, trustful, you're on The Hits. Jono and Ben, 7-11 last night. Harry Styles performed for 40,000 people. It looked incredible. Just people all dressed up, which I thought was so

cool, taking signs along. There was cowboy hats. There was glitter. Lots of feather boas as well. It reminded me of when all the mums go to the netball, the Fast Five netball. Oh, yeah, everyone gets dressed up there too. You went along there and they keep playing,

ba-ba-ba-da-da-da-da. Let's go, girls. But it looked incredible last night. And a lot of people were talking about Harry Styles, whether he did the census or not. And he addressed that very early on in the show, about how everyone there, including himself, had to complete the census.

We've done it. We're going to have to stop the show, fill out the paperwork, and then we'll be able to continue. So everyone's good. Everyone's done it. I've done it. I love everyone getting it. I've done it. I love everyone getting it. I've done the census.

Woo! That's the most excited you'll ever hear anyone. It was Chris Hipkins of the government going, Woo! I did notice too, because you have to fill out your annual income, there was no $100 to $110 million annual salary category there. Oh, for Harry Styles.

Yeah. No, but you're right. He'd be like, oh, where am I on this list? $100 to $110 million annual salary category there for Harry Styles. Oh, for Harry Styles. Yeah. No. But you're right. He'd be like, oh, where am I on this list? I'm too rich for this country. Producer Joel, you went along last night to Harry Styles. Looked incredible. Incredible scenes, yeah.

I don't think I've ever been at a concert where someone can control a crowd with that much power. Like, he smiles and 30,000 people just drop. It's incredible. Well, it talks about census and everyone went nuts as well what other new zealand things did he do out there he came out and sung uh tuturumai naiwi the classic similar to what ruby tui did as well and and then like the whole crowd sung it for about a minute he's like i wasn't i wasn't told this is this long so i've just spent four hours learning just that little bit um and also his his lead vocalist and keyboardist and guitarist i

think is uh a kiwi girl named Nayo. She opened as well, very talented. And people were throwing up the Maori tenoranga, teretanga flag, and he was on stage wearing it. It was an iconic Kiwi moment. That's very cool. He played the last song, Kiwi, as well and said it was dedicated to us as well. So it charms the pants off us, didn't it?

I mean, it just seems incredible. Producer Humphrey was saying, we've all drunk the Harry Kool-Aid today. I know. Haven't we? Loving it. If he was a cult, sign me up. I'll do anything. So next, though, we're going to talk to someone who, because he didn't really do any, as you understand, he's a busy guy.

He didn't do meet and greets. But someone actually saw him in town and hugged him. Yeah, we're going to talk to this particular person, too. And it must just be, imagine travelling around the world, every country you go to, you get off the plane and you're like, I'm in for a punishing. Like there's no country this man wouldn't be able to go to and not be punished.

China, Russia, anywhere in the world. He must be sucking in the big ones before he walks out the door. But it's pretty awesome. Well, we loved having him here. And next, as I said, we're going to talk to someone who hugged Harry Styles and had a conversation with him in New Zealand. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Harry Styles in the country right now played an incredible show last night

at Mount Smart Stadium to 40,000 people. Yeah, and we managed to track down, thanks to producer Humphrey and his pesty skills of tracking down people and bullying them onto the show someone who met Harry Styles and she joins us on the phone now Briar Cameron hello hello how are you mate I'm good how are you hey yesterday huge day yes you talk us through it okay you were set the scene yeah where? Okay. I had sat down for dinner with my friend, and I swear not even like 10 seconds after we had ordered our food, I just see Harry outside the restaurant walking along the waterfront.

Oh, my gosh. Okay, so what have you ordered? I ordered a burger and fries. Sorry, why not? I was going to say, what time is dinner? It was at like 6.30. Oh, okay. That's a good dinner time. Okay. Yeah. Okay, so you've got your burger and fries. Also, what time is dinner? It was at like 6.30. That's a good dinner time. You've got your burger and fries. You've just

ordered Harry Styles Walks Past. Yes. What do you do? Not even 10 seconds earlier, my friend and I were talking about, oh my god, imagine if we had seen him and we're like,

no, that's not going to happen. Like that does not just happen. And then, yeah, 10 seconds later he walks by and I'm like, oh my God. And she's like, what? And I'm like, turn around. And then we both see him and we got out of our seats so fast and ran out of that restaurant.

Okay, so you're chasing him. You're pursuing him. Yeah, so we like ran out of the restaurant and stood like outside the door contemplating what we were going to do for a second the poor restaurant would be like these people running away from not paying the bill but anyway you're out there you're on the street and what did you do um and then my friend just called his name not very loudly because we didn't want to like draw attention to him and he just turned around and he said hi and asked us how we were. And then we had like a 20 second conversation and he gave us both a hug and

said we, he hoped we would enjoy the show. Oh my God. So you, you wrapped your arms around Harry Styles. I know it's insane. That's incredible. That's awesome.

When are you, I imagine you're not, you're not going to wash your arms. No, my friend has literally pinned the shirt she was wearing to the wall. Just the DNA. You can just smell it. I imagine he'd smell, I mean, he's out probably for a bit of a walk for the look of things, a bit of exercise, but I imagine he'd still smell incredible.

He did. He smelled like he had just had a shower, but he had just come from the gym, so he must have really good body odor or something. I don't know. Well, I'll tell you what. I'm not even going to wash my mouth just from talking to you because you have met Harry Styles. I know.

What do you do for 20 seconds? You're like, we're going to your show. Yeah. I was surprised I could even form words, honestly, because I've liked him since One Direction. I flew to Melbourne for his other shows. Wow. Yeah.

Can we get a one word review of the concert last night? Mind-blowing. Two words there. No one ever sticks to one. Mind-blowing. Mind-blowing. Mind-blowing. Yeah, one word.

Yeah, mind-blowing. It seemed like such an incredible concert. It really was. It was. And you met up. Yeah, mind-blowing. It seemed like such an incredible concert. It really was. It was. And you met him. On stage, you were like, wow, I've hugged him. I've seen him. I know.

Everyone else wants to be you. Or the microphone. Or the microphone. Everyone wants to be the microphone. I'd like to be the microphone. Did you ask for a selfie? We did at the end, but he politely declined.

He was so nice about it. It's like he said it like he didn't want to disappoint us, but we're like, no, that's totally fine. But I'd imagine that as soon as he takes

one selfie, he'll be there for like four days of just non-stop people around. So you understand that. And he was so polite to you to stop and give you a hug and that's incredible.

Plus, I mean, no one really wants a selfie after they've just been busting it out on the bloody elliptical trainer, do they, in the gym? No, yeah. He was probably feeling all gross and sweaty too. Oh, that's incredible. You must have had a wonderful few days. It was. It really was.

And now you end it talking to Jono and or Ben on The Hits. I mean, could I get in? I know. Pin your T-shirt up on the wall that you were talking to us with. You're not going to do that, no. Hey, lovely to talk to you. Pin the phone up. Pin the phone up to the wall.

Not as importantly as International Women's Day, but it was also National Proofreading Day.

Who would have thought that was actually a day? Well, thanks, but I'll just let the internet do it for me. You know, autocorrect fixes that now. National Proofreading Day. Yeah. Is it just to just double check? I actually probably, I should take a leaf out of that proofreading book because I fire off emails with all sorts of spelling and grammatical mistakes.

I hope everyone completed the census last night. It was Census Day. But let's get Megan Puppers from the day show in. Hello. How are you? I'm great. Happy International Women's Day. Yeah.

I will not acknowledge it. Not on the show. We're talking about lots this morning. Don't you come on in here with your big ideas. Who's someone that inspires you as a broadcaster? As a broadcaster? Yeah. I'm a big fan of Michelle Obama.

Like, I'm just hitting real high here. That's great. That's good. I think she's just, like, she's entertaining and in her book, like, everything she's been through and still managed to. Like, if I'd gone through that kind of ordeal in my life and had that kind of ridicule, I'd just back off and be like, oh, no, I'm done.

Yeah. I'm out. So she's always inspired me. In terms of, like, broadcasters, you can't go past Hilbaz. Oh, yeah. Hilbaz. Yeah. Just, like, the way she deals with trolls and stuff.

Just, I love her to bits. Yeah. She seems to have become more herself. I guess not during the news you see more of the real Hilary on TV she's incredible she's awesome yeah and I don't like I don't mean to name drop but like she's

she's been very lovely to me personally as well so yeah I love I love a woman who like lifts up other women you know

you did name drop and it was a good name drop it was a good name drop me and Hilary are friends she just doesn't know it it's a great name drop now what to watch with Megan Palmer

she's watching everything she's watching Clocks she's watching her children now she's watching streaming services Me and Hilary are friends. She just doesn't know it. It's a great name drop. Now, what to watch with Megan Pappas. She's watching everything. She's watching clocks. She's watching her children. Now she's watching streaming services. Yeah, I made my son, my two-year-old, watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians the other day. And I was like, oh, I think maybe he's getting to a point

where maybe I shouldn't watch this in front of him, some of the stuff on there. Great parenting, you know? When do you get them into the cardiac? When is the best day? Yeah. So he's probably going to repeat some of that, but it's not the Kardashians that I wanted to talk about.

It's The Last of Us. I think what really impressed him was the fact that I didn't turn into a monster. She's so much as twitches. I've heard so much about this show. There's so much hype around it. Yeah, I'm going to be honest and say I haven't watched it. But to everyone. Your one role with this segment is what to watch with Megan.

What to watch. She's watching it. Before you ask me questions, I'm going to be honest. But everyone I know is watching it. I haven't got to it yet. But it's got amazing reviews. The critics, everyone loves it. And it's got Pedro Pascal, you know from uh narcos in it

um who's a great person to follow on social media melanie linsky a great new zealand actor we're talking to later in the week she's on it as well yeah um and also the girl if you watched game of thrones the 10 year old who played the uh sassy liana in game of thrones she is the girl in it as well but it's like a post-apocalyptic world. Pedro Pascal has to get her across America and there's zombie-like figures that are trying to stop them

but everyone loves it. Based on the PlayStation game when it's turned into a series and everyone's just raving about it. It's got like

the highest rating scores for like Rotten Tomatoes and everything, right? Yeah, and that's on Neon. I feel like you know more about this show. No, I was just, you know me,

I'm just going, yeah, yeah Ben. He's got the Rot know me, I'm just going, yeah. Yeah, Ben. He's got the Rotten Tomatoes score. Oh, yeah, look, I've read a lot about it, but I haven't watched it yet, but I do need to watch it because everybody says it's good. But then I follow a lot of accounts of people watching it like week to week.

Yeah. People watching it like proper TV back in the day, remember? What do you prefer? Do you prefer knocking it all out in one sesh or following a series week to week? I prefer to knock it all out in one sesh or following a series week to week? I prefer to knock it all out in one sesh, but the next one I'm going to talk about, they are now dropping half seasons

and doing a break in the middle, which really drives me nuts. But you on Netflix. What do you want? Isn't that obvious? I want a friend. Someone who shares my interest someone i can finally tell all my secrets to i've heard this was this has already been a thing with the weird guy on the internet so what's the series how many what's the series now of this season four season

four so we've had part one we've had part one and now we've had a little break and then this week part two is coming back. The interesting thing, because Penn Badgley from Gossip Girl, everyone loves him, even though he's a killer. He has like the sexy voice and everyone's in love with this killer, which is a little bit twisted. But he's now said he doesn't want to do sex scenes anymore out of respect for his partner.

So season four is not as sexy. So he's ruined it for all of us Out of respect for his relationship Surely his partner had a bigger issue Of him being a killer Because my wife loved the first She watched I kind of

In and out of the first series And she just kept going Into series two or three Or whatever as well She's having dreams about Penn Badgley She's not telling you about Well he's not having dreams about her though He's out of respect for his partner So that's on our Netflix dreams about Pembe Adjali she's not telling you about well he's not having dreams about her though he's not

having respect for his partner so that's on our Netflix and yeah part two's dropping this week

yeah interesting profound can I throw one more there's pretend that you've watched this as well

Chris Rock a lot of people talking about Chris Rock's special on Netflix he got paid

40 million dollars for those. There's two specials, yeah. He live streamed it. He did live stream it. Yeah, I think there's another one coming. He got like, there was a two-part deal.

He finally referenced the Will Smith punch slap. Oh no. Because I was always like, why has he not talked about it before? But he was saving it for his Netflix special. How many million dollars?

For the 40 mil. Yeah, I guess so. He's waiting for 40 million reasons. Megan Puppersers you can catch her on the day show thanks very much for telling us what to watch this week

thanks guys the hits the Jono and Ben podcast you know sometimes you don't intend to do it but when you're driving a lot of people listening to this

right now driving you unintentionally annoy other motorists and it's not you're not not trying to annoy them but you just and I had a really bad passage on the way home yesterday, Ben.

What'd you say? The good thing about New Zealanders is we're pretty even-tempered when it comes to driving. Lockdowns and driving were pretty chill. But yeah, I just had a bad stint on the road. And it was, I accidentally pulled out in front of someone when I was pulling out of a park. Hark! On the horn, and then you kind and then you're putting your hand out the window.

But then you can see them in your rear-vision mirror, and they're doing that thing where they've got their arms in the air, and they're pulling that face that's like, what are you doing, buddy face? It's the same face everyone pulls. I love to see people mouth stuff. Yes, I can. Your windows are up.

They're saying stuff to me, I'm like, i don't know what you're saying i get i get the idea it looks favorable yeah yeah i love your show i love that bit you did at 8 20 yesterday on the radio hey great maneuver buddy hands in the air yeah i wish i could do something like that so did that that was number one then i uh accidentally cut you know when you're turning right and there's oncoming traffic and And it was kind of backed up. And I was like, oh, this person's being generous and letting me in. Turns out their arms were in the air. They had the face going.

They didn't have the intention of letting me in. So then I'm going. I'm pulling the sorry face. I'm flicking the hazards, waving out. They're trying to do good. But they don't want to bar up. You know, when you're steamed up. Yeah.

We don't merge like a zip, do we, out there, New Zealanders? You don't. You don't. I hate those green light things. I never wait for those. So you're causing a lot of problems. You know you are. I merge like a Formula One race.

What are the point of those green lights? They keep the traffic at it. Like, you're doing the wrong thing, Bryce. It's meant to stop traffic. Tell you what keeps the traffic going, just mowing through those green lights. If everyone did that, It all just ends up In the same spot It's meant to keep

Everything flowing And see you're screwing it up Ain't nobody got time for that You're screwing things up But yeah I just want to apologise To everyone that I Upset yesterday on the roads

It's Yeah We just need to be kind Like remember Jacinda used to tell us Be kind Oh jeez I love it how

Something like a cyclone happens or a COVID event and we are all kind to each other. But then three days later, we just go back to normal. After eight o'clock on the show, former Prime Minister Helen Clark joins us as well. It is International Women's Day. Who inspires her and what's her advice for those listening right now on The Hits?

It's 11 past eight on your Wednesday morning. That's time for you. Brand new music on The Hits. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. It's 11 past eight on your Wednesday morning. That's time for you. Brand new music on The Hits, The Weeknd, Ariana Grande. Huge around the world, that song, but actually it was released six years ago. Six years ago, The Weeknd, it was out on the Starboy album,

but Ariana Grande's jumped on a remix just recently. It's blown up big on TikTok and it's like the number one song on the Billboard charts. How's that? So six years ago, the Reckons were like, oh, we did that song ages ago, but they've remixed it, and now it's huge again. Well, that gives hope for us that, you know,

maybe a lonesome radio show from six years ago will make a resurgence. Ariana jumps on one of our radio things from six years ago, and suddenly it's big. Gives it another life. Yeah. Gives us breath some old life into this dead old dog. All right, let's get into it.

Cash and car. Cash and car. Both could be yours. The brand new Skoda and all that cash in the back of it could be exactly all yours

if you know exactly how much cash is in the back of that. And if I say exactly more times in that sentence, I'll be very happy. Now, Producer Joel,

you've been handed over the, we couldn't have found a more irresponsible person to be handed the mantle of cash keeping you looked at the figure once

yeah that was on Friday it came out of an envelope when previous cash keeper Alex handed it to you have you written it down have you

remembered it this is my concern because it's got multiple digits in it best memory in the game man I know what it is I could tell you

right now but it would probably ruin the whole competition but I got it done I can what it is. I could tell you right now, but it'd probably ruin the whole competition. But I got it done. I can tell you, I will. I could have told Harry Styles last night. I'd tell him.

He'd be fine with it, right? He'd keep it safe. The secret's safe, wouldn't he? Definitely. Let's go to Carmen in Northland. Welcome, Morena. Hi. Good to have you on, Carmen.

You've been following Cash and Car, man. Thank you. Now, what do you plan to do Good to have you on, Carmen. You've been following Cash and Car, man. I have. Now, what do you plan to do with the Škoda? And I'll preface this by saying any other answer apart from drive it is probably the wrong one. But are you going to give it to anyone? Are you going to hold on to it yourself? Well, I know my husband probably needs an upgrade, but other than that, I'm just buzzy to be on. It is buzzy.

You're buzzy, Ben? I'm buzzy, yeah. Yeah, he's buzzy. Joel, you're definitely buzzy. Buzzy all weekend. All right, Carmen, we're going to hand you over to our cashkeeper. Have a stab, all right? Yep, thank you. Carmen from Northland, what's your guess for how much money is in the back of that skoda today?

I'm guessing $20,385.59. $20,385.59. Was there any reason for this number in particular? I've been following the clues and I just spout the word fully at the end of 20,000. I see. That seems like a pretty good way of going about it. Unfortunately, though, that is not the number. Keep trying, though.

Keep trying. It's a good guess. Oh, that's cool. I'm happy because I can eliminate that one. Good attitude. Now, so what did you say? You were spelling out a word? Yeah, on the Warrant and Rego part, you know, the... Oh, so you associated letters with numbers.

With numbers, like you would on a phone, I guess, as well. That's quite smart. You're in deep. Yeah, well, hey, it might be something like that. We don't know. Well, someone does. You can tell us right now if you... Go on.

He could. He could tell us right now. He could tell us right now. He's remembered it so good. What are you up to today, Carmen? I'm not too sure. It's a bit cloudy here at the moment, so I don't know. Just go with the flow, I suppose.

That's a great way to do. What a great way to spend a Wednesday. Go with the flow. Hey, well, thank you so much for tuning in. We appreciate it. Keep safe in Northland. Thank you. Last night, 40,000 people seemed to have a time of their lives at Harry Styles.

It looked incredible. As Jono said, it was much like a hen's party as far as costumes and atmosphere. It was incredible. Cowboy hats, glitter, feather boas. Just everyone having a great time. Good to see a New Zealand crowd just loving it. Having a good time. Yeah, not usually just sitting there with your arms folded,

you know, like I like to at concerts, Ben. Not showing any emotion. Rock solid. This is great. This is great. My wife took my daughter Poppy, and I kind of half remember a concert review at 12.30 at night when she kind of woke me up.

I was like, how was it? She's like, oh, it was amazing. It was awesome. He was just a true professional. And I was like, oh, yeah. Oh, great stuff. So it sounded like I can't remember what was reality and and what was dream right from all accounts whether it was a dream or reality it was a great concert yeah it did seem incredible my wife amanda she was very

disappointed last night that she didn't go uh to the concert she's like oh we should have we should have got tickets we should have gone because there were friends were there you know other you know families were there and she was singing on social media. She was hearing. She was getting texts and stuff from other people. And then she sat for an hour while she was doing her work. She was a teacher. But she sat for an hour listening to Harry Styles' song over and over again, like punishing herself. Have a listen.

You know you're punishing yourself by listening to nothing but Harry Styles' songs over and over again all night. You're like, my friends are at the concert. I should have gone. Why listen but Harry Styles songs over and over again all night. You're like, my friends are at the concert. I should have gone. Why listen to Harry Styles? It's not going to make you feel better. I don't want to be there. I want to feel like it.

I want to wear the feather boa. You're not. You didn't get tickets, and now you're listening to nothing but Harry Styles. I mentioned the interviews of Harry Styles. I had nothing but Harry Styles in the house last night. You should have created the full

concert experience. Got some port-a-loos in the lounge, some salty security guard who wouldn't let you into your own lounge, crying drunk teenager in the corner.

You could have had the whole atmosphere going on right at home. We spoke to Briar who met him, bumped into him, chance meeting,

huge fan. She even flew to Australia to watch him on his tour. And she met him on Monday night. Yeah. Hello. Okay. I had sat down for dinner with my friend

and I swear not even like 10 seconds after we had ordered our food, I just see Harry outside the restaurant walking along the waterfront. Harry Styles walks past. Yes. What do you do? Well, not even 10 seconds earlier, my friend and I were talking about, like, oh, my God, imagine if we had seen him. And we were like, no, that's not going to happen.

That does not just happen. And then, yeah, 10 seconds later, he walks by, and I'm like, oh, my God. And she's like, what? and i'm like oh my god and she's like what and i'm like turn around and then we both see him and we got out of our seats so fast and ran out of that restaurant okay so you're chasing him you're pursuing him um and then my friend just called his name not very loudly because we didn't want to like draw attention to him and he just turned around and he said hi and asked us how we were and then we had like a 20 second conversation and he gave us both a hug and said we he hoped we would enjoy the show how cool is that and she hasn't washed her clothes body uh or arms since it's also the

t-shirt up on the wall right yeah she hugged harry styles and she's like i'm not wearing that again that's up on the wall. Like police evidence. You get a cotton bud, swab that, 100% Harry Styles all over that t-shirt. It's pretty incredible. It was so awesome to have him in the country

as well. And he did the census so we're all happy about that. And great local references. Boom, census. People went crazy for the census. Yeah.

And then he brought out his band member who's a, she's a Kiwi as well. Some Tutamana Iwi as well. You know, it was incredible. So Harry Styles, ticking all the boxes. We're all drinking from the Harry Kool-Aid this morning.
