Jono, Ben & Megan - The Podcast - FULL: We Caught Up With Gold Medallist Paralympian, Lisa Adams!

Episode Date: August 30, 2021

Kia ora whānau, on today's show we spoke with Lisa Adams, who just won a gold medal in the shot put at the Paralympic Games in Tokyo! She is Valerie & Steven Adams' sister. What a blimmen talented family! She's a real hard case and it was so good catching up with her. We also spoke about how someone MAY have stolen our idea for our "spread your legs" facemasks (although they're putting proceeds towards charity... so... we can't complain). Finally, Jono had to pick up something from the chemist yesterday and compared it to something very illegal. Enjoy the poddy!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

happy happy happy oh oh just when you thought you couldn't get enough of jonathan ben you can have them anywhere anytime welcome to the jonathan ben podcast kia ora podcast 30th of august it's a mond. Now, August, I always get confused. What months run the 31 and 1 through the 30? Oh, you're not a fan of me. I just hadn't paid much attention to it. I know there's a rhyme, isn't there? 30 days have September, April, June, and November.

All the rest have 31, except February, basically. Yeah. Is that how it ends? Except for February, basically. Yeah, well, it kind of has 28 days clear and 29 in Italy. Yeah, that's how it ends. There you go. But yeah, by the time you get to that, you're just like, oh, it's February.

Yeah. They should have just said, no, it's February, basically. Yeah, no, it's February. Yeah, so 31. Another day to go. 31 for August, yeah. But next month, 30 days to have September. You'll be only having 30 days of September.

So there you go. Yeah. What's your favorite month? If you were to pick one month, and you're like, jeez, that's a Bolton month. I like December. I probably like December. Yeah? Yeah, I like December. You like the feeling of December?

I like the feeling of, I look forward to Christmas. Yeah, I look forward to Christmas, so probably December. Yeah. And it feels like the end of the year is... You are a Christmassy guy. You've got a lot of Christmas merch. Yeah. Don't you? Yeah.

A lot of novelty Christmas merch. You had a Home Malone t-shirt, Post Malone, the rapper. I don't know why I bought that. Yeah. It's a cool jersey. I like the jersey. Yeah. So it's Post Malone, as you say, the rapper, kind of in Home Malone.

And it's like. Home Malone. So it's like the, it's the iconic Home Malone so it's like the it's the iconic Home Alone thing but with Post Malone yeah I bought it I saw it

it was like on Wish or something like that or some website I was like I need to buy this and then I bought it and then I'm like why did I buy this

he's kind of fallen off the radar a bit too Post Malone so hopefully hopefully he'll come back by Christmas time hopefully that jumper will be there

well it's like I spent about $35 on a Kendrick Llama t-shirt you did not Kendrick Lam on a Kendrick Llama T-shirt. Not Kendrick Lamar, but Kendrick Llama. And was Jay-Z, was Jaywatch? Yeah, Jay-Z, but Jay-Z's on a jet ski, and it's called Jaywatch, like Baywatch.

But again, both those novelty T-shirts. I think Kendrick Lamar's even announced he's retiring from rap music. So everyone's going to be like, who's this guy? He's got his head on a llama on your T-shirt. And then our friend Andy was like, it's an alpaca. What's Kendrick alpaca? And he would say that to me and it would wind me up. Yeah.

But it was a llama. Yeah. You know it was a llama. It doesn't quite work with the alpaca, does it? But today on the show, we talked to Lisa Adams. She's awesome. From the Adams family. Yeah, from the Adams family. Oh, yeah family I'd be the bald guy Uncle Fester

and Pugsley but what an amazing amazing family like just incredible I mean you said it yesterday before we talked to her there wouldn't be off the top of your head a more successful sporting family in New Zealand and around the world would there be I mean they'd be up there wouldn't they yeah I can't that be? I mean, they'd be out there, wouldn't they?

Yeah, I can't think of one. I mean, obviously, they've got the Williams sisters, pretty incredible. There's only two of them. You've got three athletes at the top of their game. I'm going to Google most successful sporting family. She did say that wonderful part of the interview where she's like, oh, we've got a family WhatsApp group. And Stephen Adams, NBA player, sent a message after her gold medal win, just the

praising hands. You know, the hands up emoji. Most successful sporting I mean, we've got the Barretts are awesome in New Zealand. I know, but then you go, we're talking probably on an international level.

Not to talk down rugby, but you compare it to NBA and Olympic gold medals. I don't know, on the success scale, who am I to judge? Yeah, they're all amazing, amazing sports people. Five of the greatest sporting families, bloodlines, this article's called. Olympic bloodlines. Williams sisters, they're in there. But again, we've already pulled that rug. You're saying you want more. You bloodlines. Williams sisters. Oh, yeah. They're in there. But again, we've already pulled that rug.

You're saying you want more. You want more than just two. Yeah. I mean, incredible, incredible what they've done. But yeah. No one else. Floyd.

What do you mean? They said five of the best and then there's no one else. Well, no one else. You'd be like, Alistair and Johnny Brownlee. Oh, right. So no one else.

Triathletes. Do you care about them? Well, I do. Floyd. Junior Mayweather Alistair and Johnny Brownlee. Oh, right. So no one else. Triathletes. Do you care about them? Floyd Junior Mayweather and Roger Mayweather. So Floyd's got a brother. Oh, no, Floyd's uncle, Roger, was an Olympic boxer. Lost him. No, no. Have I flatlined?

Yeah, a little bit. A little bit. And that's all they can name So the Williams sisters is who we compare The Adams family to We have A far more successful family here in Aotearoa All the way from Rotorua Yeah

Now, your sister, Dame Valerie, what does she say to you? Because I noticed in between throws, you'd run over and sort of talk to her in the stands. What is she saying to you, Dame Valerie? Oh, it's fully technical.

That was okay. How do we make that better? Or like that wasn't so okay. You know, how do we fix that up? It's pure technical stuff. But, you know, I enjoyed myself the whole time. The whole time it was incredible. Like the stadiums, I mean, there was so much atmosphere,

I'm Rachel Jackson-Lees and this is The B**** News. This is Rachel Jackson-Lees lowering her standards to join us on the program. Juliette, how does this game work? I find some interesting headlines from around the world, beep out a couple of words and you guys have to comically guess what the headline is. We try and provide some witty and more often than not, not so witty answers. Alright, the first news headline.

One-off B***h to be sold for charity. Oh, OK, something's one-off. What have you got? I'm going to go one-off residency visa for the South Island to be auctioned off to Aucklanders for charity. That's quite good. I'm going to go, it's obviously something pretty rare to sell it for charity,

so I'm saying it's an in-store poster for the one day of the year Briscoe's doesn't have a sale. Oh, that's also very good. One-off spread your legs face masks to be sold for charity. I know. What? We were going to do this.

We photoshopped it. What? We had a prototype. We photoshopped a prototype. I know. So a Wellington civil servant named Hayley Cherry Blossom has created two one-of-a-kind face masks that have sort of the COVID logo with, you know, the heart on one side.

Oh, yeah, I know how they look. And then on the other side, it says, spread your legs, not the virus. And so she's putting them up for charity, which is very good. Yeah, we can't be angry for charity. What charity, by the way? I don't know. Doesn't state what charity. Here we go. No, here we go. For the Mental Health Foundation. be angry for charity. No, you can't be. What charity, by the way? I don't know. Does it stipulate what charity? Here we go.

No, here we go. For the Mental Health Foundation. Oh, good charity. There we go. Great charity. There you go. She's better than us. We were just going to do it purely for profit and greed.

We went as far as to go Photoshop and that was as far as we got, right? Yeah, true. Scientists in Uzbekistan are working on an edible... I'm going to go scientists in Uzbekistan are working on an edible petrol station pie outside the hours of 2 and 4 a.m. I'm going to go there working on edible, kinky edible underwear, but it also contains 5 plus fruit and vegetables. Okay, okay. So you get a 5 plus a day. Scientists in Uzbekistan are working on an edible COVID-19 vaccine.

So they're testing currently if they somehow put the antibodies inside a tomato. So then if you eat a tomato, it then sort of kickstarts the immunity within you to protect you from COVID. Oh, that's really going to be a bone of contention for the vegetarian anti-vaxxers. Oh, true. How are they going to escape that? Well, thank you very much, Julia. That was adequate. Thank you.

Thank you very much. Your essential listening for non-essential banter. I thought I was saying something meaningful there, and then I backed out. Jono and Ben, New Zealand breakfast. It is Jono and Ben 609. This is normally where we chat about what everyone did on the weekend, but we can't already know what everyone did on the weekend.

Not much. You can pretty much copy and paste that for everyone all over New Zealand, right? Yeah. You guys were saying just suspiciously that you both watched the same movie. Yeah, we just realised that we watched the same movie. It's a movie that's just... Out of all the movies in the world, do you think of every movie in the world, you two watch the same movie?

Not together, but separately in two households, we watch the same movie together but separately in our two households we've got the same movie it's just dropped on netflix over the weekend it's a remake um so there was a movie back in the day from 1999 called uh she's all that uh which is a very famous sort of rom-com movie uh teenage sort of rom-com movie and now it's he's all that um so it's kind of been remade it sounds bleak uh well yeah there you would have been is it bleak true no it's actually it's an easy watch when he says it's an easy watch it's a shitty one i enjoyed it the kids really enjoyed it was really one of those just like you would have seen the original right i'm sure you would have seen the original so it's basically at the school

they're like um you could take i could turn anyone into a prom date blah blah and they pick the the loser the kid that basically, yeah, and they turn out to be, it's basically a bet. And so they flipped it on its head. So the genders have swapped now. It's a very iconic movie from 1999. And the main actor from the movie, I think, Rachel Lee Cook, in the 1999 version, she's now the mum in the new movie.

She's like the mum. And Addison Rae is her daughter from TikTok. It's Addison Rae's- Charlie D'Amelio's sister, is it? No, no, she's another big TikTok star. I'm just throwing out names to try and sound in touch. But yeah, Kourtney Kardashian is in the new one. So I watched this one with the girls over the weekend, my kids,

and then I was like, oh, it's a remake of this original one. So I started watching the original one. It's funny going back there. Usher was in the original. Paul Walker was in the original. Like Anna Paquin was in the original. Paul Walker was in the original. Like Anna Paquin was in the original. All these people are like, oh my God. They're all going around going,

yeah, I'll fax it to you. I'll beep when you get the pages. Oh my God, this was 1999. How much technology has kind of moved on, you know, the last 20 years. But the one big bugbear I had about this movie, the new movie was, it was like, she was,

they were like, oh, we could turn anyone into, you know, someone hot, you know, blah, blah, blah. He was already hot. That's the thing. He was already hot. That is the thing. Same with the old movie. The new movie's already hot. Yeah, they'll pick anyone. Oh, that guy, that guy there, he's like, he had long hair and a cap backwards. I'm like, yeah, well, he was already,

you know, like it was. The whole thing is they're turning the nerd into, like, the next biggest, hottest thing. But the nerd in both movies, the 1999 and the 2021, are naturally good-looking anyway. They just dress them weirdly. Was Paul Walker the nerd in the 90s? No, Paul Walker was the mate of Freddie Prinze Jr.

He was the one setting the bet for Rachel Leacock. Well, I mean, you just can't turn nerds into hot people, though. So they've got to disguise a hot person as a nerd. So there's not as much heavy lifting to do when the transformation takes place i get there i get their problem i felt like watching the original now they've kind of ironed over a few of the the sort of things that you wouldn't obviously say these days you know there's some stuff that doesn't stack up superficial now you know like it's not it's still a little bit but it's not quite as but

yeah it was it was it was an easy watch. But I was like, that dude's already hot. That was my main bug. I know. What about this guy? I'm like, well, he's hot. It's not much of a challenge here. He's already hot.

You know what I love? Ben just keeps saying it's an easy watch. As if it's just something to fill in some time during lockdown. Well, I don't think it's going to be Oscar nominated. I'll be very, very surprised if it's up for any Oscars next year. Like I would be. I'd be like, oh, really? Oh, really?

He's 11? But hey, it was. I sat down with the kids on a Saturday. Maybe they should have the easy watch category at the Oscars. Yeah, well, there you go. That's an easy watch. The one, the family movie night that everyone went, oh, yeah, I guess we'll watch that. And that would give your mate Dwayne the Rogue Johnson

an opportunity to win an Oscar. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. A lot of his films are an easy watch. They're not going to win Academy Awards, but he's the highest grossing movie star. That's right. Easy watch category. I'll write a letter to the Academy.

So there you go, a little bit of advice. If you want an easy watch, you can check it out now on Netflix. It is the hits. You've got John O'Byrne. From the socially distantly safe got Jono and Ben. From the socially distantly safe two metres, stay away. This is New Zealand's Breakfast with Jono and Ben. Have you picked anything up

from a shop recently? I'm not talking about your supermarket visits. No, no. No. These are your fringe essential service shops. No, not during lockdown, no. I had to after Friday Once we'd finished the five words marathon

I had to pick up two items From two separate locations And it felt like They were both being run like Illegal enterprises Because the first one, Jen, my wife She's like, I need you to go to the chemist and pick this up When you arrive there, you text me.

I'll text the chemist. You wait outside. The chemist will then come out and place a package in front of your car. You wait till the chemist leaves. You get out of your car. You pick up the package. Is that how it's meant to run? That's how the transaction took place.

And it was happening. And I was like, I feel like the FBI are about to burst out and do a sting on us. Who was doing that? Was that the chemist's protocol? It was the chemist's protocol. Really? Yeah. I thought they were coming out to the counter.

Other people go into the chemist's and stuff. It was just for my multivitamins and hair loss products. It was placed on top of the chemist's thing. And they come out in full PPE too with a mask, like a shield. Oh, really? You know they mean business when they've got a shield on, don't you? There must be different rules to different schemes. Because there was a walk past on the other day

and people were waiting outside and there was one customer in, one customer out, like the dairies. Must be slightly different. Some chemists might want to be stricter. Some might just want to follow the rules that are recommended. It was pretty intense to just get some foot powder. I thought I was waiting in line for some other powder. And then it happened in another place as well.

And he was like, you know, just text me, park 100 metres down the road, and I'll come out with the package. I'll knock on the window, and I'll leave it on your bonnet. I don't know why the knock on the window had to be, like if I saw it placed on the bonnet. No, that was for your car, though, wouldn't it? Unless you were sleeping. Yeah, true.

As soon as he parks up and stops talking, he probably does fall asleep. So there's interesting ways to operate now, and it's all normal. If you'd said two years ago, you'll have to wait outside the chemist like a giant drug deal's about to take place. Yeah. You're crazy. Yeah. But it's the world, isn't it?

And you just, yeah, no, I'm not going to go there because I feel like it's doing gloom to go, how long is this going to be for? But you've gone there, though. Yeah, I know. He said he wasn't going to go there. But I have.'s doom and gloom to go. How long is this going to be for? But you've gone there, though. Yeah, I know. He said he wasn't going to go there. But I have. I have gone there.

But not for long. Not for long. We just say not for long. Well, I know today that, sir, Jacinda, I've got a good authority. We're back to level zero tomorrow. Whole country. Level zero. It's not even level one.

We're jumping straight to zero, are we? Yeah, fast forward. If you just go to zero, then maybe it just all turns back to normality. Have they ever tried that? I don't think overseas countries have tried that. They've given it a bash, have they? Yeah, I don't If you just go to zero, then maybe it just all turns back to normality. Have they ever tried that? I think overseas, Pat, countries have tried that. They've given it a bash, haven't they? Yeah, I don't know if it worked. Sydney gave it a good crack, didn't they?

Yeah, yeah, exactly. They've been in level zero this whole time. Yeah, I don't think it worked quite as well for them. But we will find out today. Four o'clock is the big announcement today. And Jacinda Ardern, will she get out? My big thing is, will she get out another piece of paper, another graph? She loves getting out the graphs.

Someone needs to tell her about an overhead projector. True. Or even just like, hey, the team have done some graphics up, we'll go full screen here. Full screen on the, you're right, she could do that, but she holds up a graph and even she referenced the fact that every time she holds up a little piece of paper, it gets made into memes.

In the meantime, you know that I love to hold up a good graph um just for the memes why the graph too like i believe her like if she's saying statistics she doesn't need to back it up with a graph yeah it's like oh no i trust you yeah i don't reckon you're lying about those figures and their graph she does the same thing in the household at home with clark she's holding up great you know like now clark this week the graph. Productivity's been a bit down. I notice you've been out fishing a lot. I've had a lot of fishing trips. And this is according to not much housecleaning.

And the meme time is back. This afternoon, one o'clock, you can create a meme. It is the hits. You've got Jono and Ben. New Zealand's breakfast. It's Jono and Ben. Kia ora, good morning. Welcome along to the show. It's Jono and Ben. Got me in love. On the Hacks. Kia ora, good morning.

Welcome along to the show. It is a Monday morning. Jono and Ben back with you again. Jeez, I'm getting used to seeing people in masks around. Remember that period where, maybe two months ago, where you'd see the odd random person with a mask on and you'd give them a sideways glance. A little bit judgy, wouldn't you? Would you get a little bit judgy when you saw someone in a mask?

Oh, I was like, good on them. But sometimes it felt a bit unusual when it's, we talked about it the other day, when there's a whole lot of you doing it, it's kind of like safety in numbers. Yeah, but when you're used to be like, oh, okay, they're rocking a mask. Well, look who's laughing now. They are. Behind their masks you can't see them laughing, but they are laughing.

That's right. Look out, I see a lady out there right now in a mask. We've got to wear masks when we get out of the studio and wander around the office. That's the. Look out, I'll see you lady out there right now. Turn a mask. We've got to wear masks when we get out of the studio and wander around the office. That's the protocol here. Not that there's anyone really in the office, but I guess it's just good protocol, you know? You're allowed to take them off in the studio,

but not when you're out of the studio. What is sad of noticing the vending machine depleting? It is. It started lockdown full of all the luscious treats. I had a dream that we were going to give all the stuff away because I was like, it's the one place no one can panic by. But I feel like it's just been depleted. You're right.

Really? Is there other stuff going for it? No, it's working here, but I don't know. It was 100% full when lockdown started. It's running at about 10 now. Oh, my God. Yeah, it's disappearing. Ben did have a dream to give everything away from the vending machine.

I know. Now that dream is gone. Yeah, guys, it's just gone. What a shitty dream. We've, now that dream is gone. Yeah guys, it's gone. What a shitty dream. We've got a big show this morning. We're joined very shortly by Lisa Adams. She won gold in the Paralympics over the weekend. What an awesome

moment in the shot put. Yeah, we actually came in yesterday and interviewed her, just given the hours in Tokyo, etc, whatnot. And she's hard case. She's hilarious. Yeah, she's very cool. So she joins us, and not too far as well. She's hilarious. Yeah, she's very cool. So she joins us. And not too far as well. Not too far.

That didn't quite make sense. But anyway, it's early in the morning. 6 o'clock, right? Yeah. No one's judging. No one's judging like those mask wearers from two months ago. It is the head. Going hard and ooley. Go hard, go ooley.

Go hard and ooley. Hard and ooley. Go hard. With Jono and Ben. New Zealand's breakfast. Now, the Paralympics are on at the moment. And it's awesome, awesome to watch. It was great to see some Kiwis in action and doing so well over the weekend.

One of whom is Lisa Adams, who won gold in the shot put. Lisa Adams, world record holder and world champion. She's just pushed it out past 15. Oh, that's pretty big. Yeah, amazing stuff, amazing scenes. Lisa, obviously the sister of Valerie and Stephen. And yesterday we caught up with her over Zoom. Holy shit, it's actually you.

Holy shit, it's actually you, you mean. How are you? Ben, do you remember me? I fangirled over you and asked my sister to take a photo of me and you. Oh, who, Valerie did? Yeah. Was that at the Helbergs? Yes.

Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah. The Helberg Awards. That was a few years ago though, right? What was I wearing then? He always talks about what you were wearing that night, actually. I'm always talking about it. It was five years ago. Jeez.

Hey, congratulations. Thank you. That's so awesome, mate. You said, I'm on TV last night. It was five years ago. Jeez. Hey, congratulations. Thank you. That's so awesome, mate. You said, I'm on TV last night. It was freaking awesome. I felt like maybe you were holding back a swear word. And who would have blamed you if you had have sworn? Because it was such an awesome moment.

Thanks. Yeah, yeah. I was holding back a swear word. Why don't you say what you want to say now and I'll beep it out. I don't trust you to do that. You don't trust me. I wouldn't trust him either. I used to watch your show religiously.

I don't trust him and I work with him. I don't trust myself. I can't even find the beep button. And you've got another event this Saturday, right? The Discus as well. So it'll be a while since you're home. Yep, that's it. So yeah, doing Discus.

Discus is our fun event. It's just something nice to do away from shot. So, yeah, just go have a jam at that, see how we go. Go and have a jam. Go and have a jam at the Olympics with that. I mean, it's pretty crazy. I mean, what is it, three years, Lisa, you've been doing this, and you're world record holder, world champ,

and now Paralympic gold medalist. I mean, has it sunk in? Do you know what? I got asked that a lot, has it sunk in. And it hasn't, and I don't think it will. Wait, because, like, it doesn't change anything. gold medalist i mean has it sunk in do you know what i got asked that a lot has it sunk in and it hasn't and i don't think it will wait because like it doesn't change anything it's just i'm still the same person i just have this you just apparently oh you just got this gold medal just hold that up yeah just got this old thing i still have to go get the case for it but yeah like it's

cool yeah very um what do you call it i've worked really hard for the last three years to go get the case for it. But yeah, it's cool. Yeah, very, what do you call it? I've worked really hard for the last three years to get here and this was the goal and we cracked it and it's like, cool. Just, yeah, I had my moment last night and I cried like a little bitch. I've got to hug and cry into the most muscular shoulders. Yeah, no, we'll get it.

And she must be so proud. She is. She so is, you know, and I think it was extra special for me because she is so amazing, you know, as my sister. And I've watched her do what I done. You know what I mean? Like I used to sit at home on it on the couch and, and I've watched her go and smash it and then be at the,

on the top of the podium, watch the flag, you know, do the buzz. And I got to do that last night and it's incredible. Like the thing, the whole feeling, it was amazing.

Well, you wouldn't have wanted to share that moment with anyone else. I wouldn't imagine. No. And here I am sharing it with you if you just joined us we're talking to lisa adams uh she won gold in the shot put at the paralympics now your sister dame valerie what does she say to you because i noticed in between throws you'd run over and sort of talk to her in the stands what is what is she saying to you dame valerie oh it's fully technical that was okay how do we make that better? Or like that wasn't so

okay. You know, how do we fix that up? It's pure technical stuff. But you know, I enjoyed myself the whole time. The whole time it was incredible. Like the stadiums, I mean, there was so much atmosphere, even though the stands were empty. She echoed through the stadium as well. But yeah, the whole thing was just funny like oh that's awesome that's what people dream of and and i got to go and taste that so that was cool you got to do it and geez you must be getting a lot of uh cool free stuff you've got heaps of cool free stuff yeah we've gotten a couple of things but you know if you're gonna um just come in for the free stuff, then you're probably in the wrong spot.

I'll just do enough of the free stuff. Yeah, we do, you know, we get a few bits involved. It's not like staying in a hotel, John, where I'll take the little shampoos and stuff. Yeah, tell me what the coolest free bit of free stuff you've got on this journey. We get a phone. Oh, you get a free phone? Yeah, but you're right. If you are going there for the free stuff, you're what the coolest free bit of free stuff you've got on this journey. We get a phone. Oh, you get a free phone? Yeah, but you're right. If you are going there for the free stuff, you're in the wrong game.

Pretty much, eh? Like, why are you even bothering me? You're awesome. I'm just going to train for four years so I can get a free phone, mate. So your family are awesome. I mean, obviously yourself, your sister, your brother, Stephen, as well. Have you heard from Stephen?

Yeah, yeah. We have a family chat, messages. But yeah, I have all my family, you know, nothing too handy. Just an emoji. Did he just send you an emoji? A shaka emoji. A shaka emoji. Is that all he did?

Or thumbs up. He sent me these emojis. Oh, the praising hands. Oh, that's awesome up. He sent me these emojis. Oh, the praising hands. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah, those are good emojis. That must be New Zealand's most successful WhatsApp family chat. The Adams. Probably the world's most successful family WhatsApp chat.

We're going to just jump in there from time to time, eh? But actually earlier in the week, Valerie had jumped in there just checking in the deets about my comps and stuff and, you know, just the old hit her up if you've got any questions. But it's pretty tame in there. So where's she staying? Is she obviously not in the village right now? Or she is in the village?

Not at the moment. She's at the track, but she's in Tokyo. Has she gone home since the Olympics? No, I think she stuck around, didn't she? No, she stayed on to coach me. And then you guys will be doing MIQ on the way back? Yeah. Well, listen, to be honest, at the moment,

there's not much to come back here for. Yeah, that's for sure. We're kind of in limbo doing nothing. Maybe sign up for a few more events like your discus. Hey, so nice to talk to you, and it was so awesome seeing you win gold last night. New Zealand is so proud of you. Congratulations.

Thank you very much. John Owen Band. Breakfast on the Hefts. The Hefts. It is it. John Owen Band, 628. Now, on Friday, I was stuck in the soundproof booth, and we played Five Words for 5K nonstop from 7.45,

and we played it until, it was just before 1 o'clock, wasn't it? You know, I felt like during the experience, I was like, we're in this hole, our shirts are undone, we're dishevelled saying wild stuff. And then all of a sudden, when it was all over, we started cleaning up and I felt normal. You know? Just sort of snapped back to reality.

But it was just in the hole of sitting in the same seat and non-stop talking. So talking, yeah. So it turned you delusional. Yeah, we played the game so many, so many times and of course we had the live stream as well. So we were just, yeah, right. We were just talking constantly from six o'clock in the morning. A lot of stuff was said, some regretful

things as well. I'd like to have been so quickly though, you're right. Yeah, we went downhill and when we went downhill it was fast. It did, it did. Yeah. Juliet, you were all over the show. I was. I was exhausted after the end of it and I didn't even talk as much as you guys. Yeah, really brought our Daily Word quota up that Friday broadcast.

But just before 1 o'clock, though, Sarah. It was the winning game with Sarah, and it was a beautiful moment. Come on, we can do it. Okay. I want to let you out. Yeah, I want to go out too. All right, come on. Sarah, this is it. Come on.

Fashion, please, for the love of God. Please, please, please, yeah. I'm gonna go. Think outside the box, think outside the box. Scents, fashion scents. Is it? Is it? Is it?

Sarah! Yes! Yes! Oh my goodness! Oh my God! It is! $5,000! Yes, $5,000, oh my goodness. Oh, my God! It is! $5,000! Yes, $5,000!

Oh, my goodness! Yay! My partner's so stoked. We've been ringing all morning. Oh, Sarah, well done. There you go. She said, thing outside the box, and you were released from the box. Yeah, she rang hundreds and hundreds of times, as did many people.

Thank you very much to everyone that played the game. Over the hours and hours we played the game game and $5,000 went to Sarah. We'll catch up with her after 7 o'clock plus. Five words, it's back though. 745. You might have some PTSD from it, Ben. I don't know if I can get back in the box again. It is the hits.

You got Jono and Ben? It's the Jonas Brothers sucker. It is the hits. Jono and Ben on your Monday morning. Now there's some great TV shows to keep us entertained during lockdown. Jono and Ben, good sports coming Thursday week, actually, to TVNZ2, 8 o'clock. Yeah, great.

You're not going to get sick of us trying to surreptitiously plug that every 10 seconds. Yeah, but another one at the moment that's on tonight is called Head High. It's on TV3. And it's all about a schoolboy rugby team. What do you want? And how far are you willing to go get it? Absolutely nothing comes before winning.

Bingo comes before winning. Yes, it's on three this evening, and we're joined by one of the stars of the show, the wonderful Joe Nafau. How's lockdown treating you, Joe? Oh, yeah, I mean, I've got a big backyard. Me and the missus moved in with mum and dad, bro, for the lockdown.

Oh, true. And get some home-cooked meals, bro, for the lockdown. Oh, true. And get some home-cooked meals, you know what I mean? Oh, smart play. Yeah, that's good. Yeah, very smart. Yeah, because all your mum and dad want to do is they just want to look after you because you haven't been home in so long. Exactly, bro, you know.

You've got to make the most of it. Dad's a bit of a dab hand in the kitchen. It's one of those lockdowns, bro. Just eat, train, go for walks, read books. It's pretty mundane, bro, to be honest. The more I'm hearing you talk, the more I'm like, this is genius. He's got live-in babysitters, chefs. Yeah, true, moving in with the parents.

Laundromats. You've probably got it all. It is a different, it's completely different to the way that we normally live. And for some people, it's actually quite hard living with family members that they're not used to. But it's pretty cool here, man. Oh, nice. I'm glad it worked out. It's working out at least. Now, Head High, of course, there's some good entertainment for people to watch tonight on 3.

It's a bloody good show, a show about rugby. And you're a really good rugby player. You played under-19s and under-21s for New Zealand. You played for Canterbury and South and played overseas as well. Does that help you when you're making a show? A rugby show? For sure. The rugby stuff, it definitely does. I mean, I love it, man.

I still love watching rugby. I still hang out with a lot of guys that I used to play with. And when you're doing a show about it, I guess it gives you sort of, you know, a bit of insight on it. Now, because you play a coach, have you assumed the role of any other coaches throughout your rugby career? Oh, yeah.

Well, actually, I was going to ask you about that, because how many times, your character is an ex-player. How many times have you played a rugby player, though? This is probably one. But how many times have you played a rugby player or anything? Maybe a few times. I mean, I've played a couple of different all-blokes. I've played Frank Budd, and I've played Mills, Muleaina,

in another production. You know, I enjoy any role that comes up. I mean, if the character happens to be a rugby player, then I guess I have, you know, I have an under-adventure. Yeah, it seems like you've got a monopoly on the rugby-playing roles in the New Zealand acting world. Yeah. Back off. Are you smashing the other actors? Seems like you've got a monopoly on the rugby playing roles in the New Zealand acting world. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Back off. Are you smashing the other actors and tackles? I already got that. Being a rugby player? Well, I did. I had some good because I'm the coach. Because kids these days are massive, man, that are running around.

My nephew plays in the grammar first 15, but some of the kids that have been coming out to do the extra roles and stuff, the actual First 15 players, we had some of the Mags boys come out and some of the Wesley boys, and they're huge. These kids these days are massive. They've got full-on beards and tattoos. I know. I drop my son off at school and I'm like, these people are more manly than I'm ever going to be.

I know. It's kind of freaky when you're intimidated by your son's breakfast. I took my son off at school and I'm like, these people are more manly than I'm ever going to be. I know, I know. It's kind of freaky when you're intimidated by your son's breakfast. I blame TikTok, Joe. TikTok's the thing. We've got Joe Nafo with us. He's in here. You can catch up on Three on Demand as well.

Now, some Kiwis may know or they may not know that you starred in one of the world's biggest tv shows so you were dothraki in uh game of thrones i mean that's a pretty cool experience to have right yeah yeah i had a little role in there it's fun man we filmed in a couple of different parts of spain which which were really um very similar to desert so that's why they shot there uh because that's where the dothraki camp and stuff were but I mean the amount of people that apply even for extra roles on that show I think they get like 10,000 a month or 20,000 people

sending in or tapes for extra roles. Far out. Such a huge show it was and you even took your mum to the premiere which looked awesome. I did. Yeah man I love my mum. And it was the best experience to have with her,

getting to take her to L.A. with me and go down the red carpet with her. Man, it was awesome. Something I'll never forget. That's awesome. What an adorable thing to do. Isn't it nice? Isn't it, Tate? Yeah.

Well, I'm getting my payback now, bro. I'm getting those bills booked out, bro. I'm like, hey, mum, don't forget, mum. I took you to the Game of Thrones. You remember that trip to LA? Yeah, you do.

I want that steak cooked physically, you know what I'm saying? But still a very cool experience, though. That's awesome. Yeah, thanks, bro. Appreciate it, man.

Hey, Jonah Fahoo, lovely. Always love catching up with you. Keep safe in your bubble, mate, and head high tonight. Thank you, brother. Much love, boys. Hey, Jonah Fahoo, lovely. Always love catching up with you. Keep safe in your bubble, mate, and head high tonight. Thank you, brother. Much love, boys.

Much love. Spy. The What's Up. Spy.co.nz. All right, she's fresh from sticking her beak into the private lives of celebrities. Now she's going to tell us all about it. What's happening, Sticky Beak? So Kanye West has finally released his album Donda,

which is named after his mother. After multiple listening parties, after him moving into... He's at three now, right? Three. After moving into the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, weirdly into a room... Every time he does a new listening party, he changes parts of the songs and things like that. Yeah.

I read a review over the weekend. They were saying the second listening party was awesome, and then he came back with a third one, and they were like, oh, he changed that song. He got rid of Jay-Z. He got rid of such and such. Like, he'd saying the second listening party, they were like, it was awesome. And then it came back with a third one. And they were like, oh, he changed that song. He got rid of Jay-Z. He got rid of such and such. Like, he'd done a whole lot. And they were like, oh.

And according to this review, it was like, he should have released the one before. So I don't know. It's very, he's a very, he seems like a very erratic, you know, human being who likes changing. Sounds like the album's not finished. It's out now. He's released it.

It's gone. But he's still working on stuff. I know, I know, I know. It's very interesting. So at the third listening party, it wasn't at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, it was at a different one in Illinois. And he brought out a couple of guests which were very controversial. We all know that Kanye West likes to, you know, bring the news headlines and everything.

Street talk. But he brought on a rapper called DaBaby and Marilyn Manson. Now, Marilyn Manson, he's been accused of sexual assault and DaBaby has made some homophobic statements recently quite publicly. And so people are kind of like, well, jeez, you can make waves,

but you can make waves without bringing on these two particular guests. And in one of the songs, a verse from Jay-Z has featured, and, you know, in the last two listening parties, it was Jay-Z, and everyone was like, yes, Jay-Z, because he's a very good rapper too. But then in the most recent listening party, it was DaBaby who rapped in the song.

And so everyone was kind of like, why has he replaced Jay-Z? Jay-Z being replaced, but it seems like Jay-Z's on the album. Jay-Z's on the album, because apparently DaBaby didn't get his forms in in time, his release forms, to be allowed onto this album. Those niggly forms. I'm with him. I hate filling out forms. But two of the really bizarre things from this listening party was at one moment,

Kanye West looked like he set himself on fire. There were flames. And then at another moment, it seemed like Kim Kardashian walked out in a wedding dress and a veil and they sort of recreated their wedding. But it's weird because they've just recently got divorced. They were holding hands at the end of it as well. So either they've got an awesome relationship

or, you know, the people are like, oh, are things back on again? I know. He's a marketing genius, though. We're all talking about it, aren't we? We're all like, what does this mean? Why has he bought out that person? Are they getting married again?

Why is Jay-Z, why is Debo? You know, there's too much to talk about. Yeah, there's a lot going on. He's really, a friend of mine worked for Adidas, and he's released his shoes with Adidas, Kanye has. And they were saying, like, up until almost like two, maybe three days before the release of the shoe, he hadn't sent through any designs.

Really? Which, yeah, he's changing stuff with the album, he hadn't sent through any designs. Really? He's changing stuff for the album, as you understand him, he's a very creative person, so you're probably like, he's changing this, he's changing that, so you can see how that happened though, right? Then they had to, in a mad panic, produce shoes in three days. He would keep you on your toes.

He just sent through an email at three in the morning, he's like, these will do. That'll learn him a couple of billion dollars. Oh my God. And speaking of, you know, trying to get publicity, James Corden and the Cinderella cast, they did a flash mob in the streets of LA to try and promote the Cinderella movie, which features Camila Cabello. And they stopped traffic and started dancing.

And one of the headlines was, James Corden goes viral as he performs a nightmarish hip thrusting dance in a mouse costume in an attempt to promote the Cinderella movie. It's getting roasted online. It's quite a sight. I saw the video. He's like, there's someone in the car filming and he's like thrusting his pelvis

at the camera and they're like, oh, okay, okay, you can hear behind the camera. And he's dressed in a mouse costume in the middle of an intersection. Yeah, there's a lot of things on Twitter being said about it right now. But people are like, well, what if you were on the way to hospital and you're getting stopped by James Corden thrusting his pelvis in your face? What a sight.

Yeah, and it was three big pumps to that pelvis he was given there. Oh, gosh. And that is how you get publicity for listening parties and Cinderella. James Corden and Kanye West. Kanye could have brought him on stage. The thrusting mouse. Yeah. And then a spy for more.

You can head to the hitstockcard.nz. After 7 o'clock, we're going to reward an ISA legend, someone who's doing amazing work for New Zealand right now. If you know someone who's an essential worker, you want to nominate them, head to the hits.co.nz and thanks to our mates at Skinny. We'll be hooking them up with a pretty good prize after seven. New Zealand's breakfast.

It's Jono and Ben. On the hits. Just gone seven o'clock here with Jono and Ben on the hits as we just heard in the news. Four o'clock today is when the announcement will be made by the government as to how long it seems to how long Auckland and Northland might stay in lockdown for.

Wow. At four o'clock today. They've already said it could be two more weeks of lockdown. Actually, over the weekend, one of the kids' grandparents sent me a card, you know, a little cheer-up card because we're in lockdown. And it's a musical card. Can I open it up right now?

I brought it in today. Let's have a... Oh, yeah, and it makes you just detest that song. Oh, yeah, all weekend. It's going to be the best day. This is going to be the best day of my life. All weekend I heard this song. I'm like, let's go off on the best day to the worst day of my life thanks to this bloody card.

So I brought it in to work today. I had the same thing with a card mum gave it to me for my birthday, and it was Niles Barkley. Yeah, crazy! And it ironically drove you crazy the more you heard it. But you not, traditionally, you're not a big birthday card or card

guy enthusiast. You'd rather the person investing the $5 in the birthday card just give you $5. If I've got a choice. What about a musical card? Because I know after your birthday you just savagely throw them all in the bin. This one is $12. $12? You're like, give me the $12.

Would you rather have, okay, here you go. Jono, this best day of your life, I'm going to either give you $12 right now or you have to listen to this. Now you can also listen to this song through the radio speakers or on your phone on Spotify or Apple Music. I prefer the tinny version coming through a novelty card. It's going to be the best day of your life. Jeez, that band must be getting some royalties every time you open that card.

They even know about that. Hey, coming up, five words, $5,000. We did the non-stop game on Friday. Doesn't mean it's not happening today. 745, another chance for you to take home 5K. And next, we reward someone doing great work for New Zealand right now, keeping our country moving. That's in a few minutes' time on The Hits.

Oh, legends. You guys are legends. Oh, you're legends. Jono and Ben's ISO Legends. Thanks to Skinny. You're a legend. Such guys are legends. Oh, you're legends. Jono and Ben's ISO Legends. Thanks to Skinny. You're a legend. Such a cool segment, this. We're paying tribute to the people working in essential services around Aotearoa at the moment.

Doctors, nurses, teachers, supermarket workers, bus drivers, and other people that are keeping us, keeping the country moving. Vets. Yeah. Vets. Every time you say that, someone texts in full phrase, What about the vets? Do not gloss over the vets, Ben.

No, if you want to nominate someone who's doing great work out there in the community, helping keep the country moving, helping keeping us safe as well, then you can do so at the hitstockcode at NZ. And thanks to our mates at Skinny, we're going to be ringing someone up each day this week and rewarding them with a $500 Pack and Save voucher. How cool is that? And six months of Skinny credit. I thought it was a $250 pack and save voucher. How cool was that? And six months of skinny credit.

I thought it was a $250 pack and save voucher. $500! I just hope that's not a mistake from me. It's a mistake from me, but we're going to stick to it now. $500, of course. Damn, that's a lot of shopping. $500 pack and save and six months of skinny credit as well. It was just awesome. We're going to go through to Tracy now.

Being nominated by her daughter Megan. Tracy putting her health on the line for Aotearoa. I've been putting my health on the line as well, but it's just thanks to an atrocious lockdown diet. Same thing. Hopefully Tracy answers. She might be at work already. Hello, Tracy speaking.

No, she's not at work already. No, not yet. Not yet. Where are you? You're late. It's not your angry boss. It's just John Owen Baird. Yeah. Hi, how are you both? Not too bad. How are you this morning? Oh, good, thanks. Now, Tracy, you've been nominated by your daughter, Megan. Any reason why you'd be nominated for anything? No. No. It's because you are an ISO legend.

Oh, my goodness. Oh, wow. Yeah, she says you're doing... She's like, I don't know what that word is or what it means, but I'll pretend it's something big. You're doing some great work in the community, we understand. Yes. What do you do, Trace?

I'm a community support worker. And so you're out there every day? Every day, yep. Helping the elderly. Oh. And they can be easily forgotten, can't they, in times like this? Oh, definitely, yeah. No, definitely.

But yeah, I help them with their daily personal cares and medication. Night time, I help them with dinner and just ensuring they're safe at home. Oh, that's awesome. Your tea consumption would be through the roof. How many cups of tea are you having a day? I know. I had to stop. I've been having a lot during lockdown.

I bought a teapot last lockdown. That's how much I've been having tea. But yeah, you'd be at another level. Yeah. We want to reward you on behalf of Aotearoa, on behalf of New Zealand and just say thank you so much for your hard work, getting out there every day during these very testing times.

And thanks to our friends at Skinny, we're going to give you a $500 pack and save voucher. Oh my God, thank you so much. No worries, you also get six months of Skinny credit as well, just to say thank you so much for everything you're doing right now. We really do appreciate it.

Oh, wow. I appreciate that. Thank you. No worries. Thank you so much and stay safe. Go buy some more tea at the supermarket. Hey. Yeah, you could.

It's what you need in your day. Exactly. Lovely to talk to you, all right? Thank you so much. Keep safe out there. And Skinny are helping their capped wireless broadband customers get through lockdown with free data as well. Skinny have given a bonus 60 gigabytes of data

to all their capped wireless broadband customers to enjoy at the moment. Yeah, there we go. Back in, if you want to nominate someone, the hits.co.nz out our website, you can nominate someone for the ISO legend tomorrow on the program. Now, we need to stipulate the ISO legend is meant to be a play on isolation. Yeah. Do people take isolation as much these days?

No, we're not. I guess, yeah. It's not quite, yeah, anyway, it's a wonderful segment, just the name. Lockdown Legend. Oh, Lockdown, yeah, nice one, Gio. Where were you in the brainstorm? It's the hits, you got John Ombin. Here we go.

It is AJR, bang, it is the hits. John O'Byrne, 7.32. Now, on Friday, because we hadn't had a winner for our game, five words for 5K for a while, we thought we'd just keep playing it until we had a winner, and we started at 7.45, and just before 1 o'clock was the winner. But, jeez, it was a long time playing the game. Yeah, we slowly, all three of us, didn't we, started to go downhill pretty quickly.

And it was just, and I think it was just the constant talking. And I take the blame for this. I'm going to shoulder the blame for this. Take this one on the chin because I insisted leading into it, we've got to do a live stream. You know, the internet, apparently it's taking off and we need to jump on board with it. And so I insisted on us doing a live stream,

which meant that once we'd finished on air, we'd immediately start talking to the audience of 30 or 60 people on a live stream. Great ratings, great ratings. Tremendous ratings. We really lost the plot, as Jono said, very quickly. And Julie, I don't know why you went through this, but good on you. Thanks. Going back through the live stream to find some of our worst moments.

People say it though, I feel it in my loins. I feel it in my fingers. I feel it in my loins. I feel it in my fingers. I feel it in my loins. Kazza. G'day. We're doing a little thing where maybe we'll sync you and Ben up, see if we can plug you into each other. Okey-dokey.

Mentally speaking. Cover me in sunshine. One, two, three. Cover me in sunshine. What do you think of Pink's daughter's singing? It was good. It was awesome. It's the cutest part of that song.

It makes that song amazing. He's just trying to wind me up. Who is he? He's just trying to wind me up. That is so funny. Oh, what a tune for your Friday. They never stipulate what way they want it.

How many times are you going to say this joke on radio? Sorry. Juliet, she's only 12 months in and she's like, I've heard that joke

about 32 times. Come in sunshine. Oh, dear. There we go. The relationship's reached a whole new level on Friday. Home truths were coming on. And, yeah, Ben Boyce, I tell you what, if you want to wind him up, just question Pink's daughter's singing on that song.

And, boy and he'll get unusually defensive. Fine, after you just winded me up. What do you mean? It's beautiful. But eventually, Sarah was our winner just before one o'clock on Friday. Here was the moment.

Come on, we can do it. Okay. I want to let you out. Oh yeah, I want to go out too. Sarah, this is it. Come it. Okay. I wanna let you out. Oh yeah, I wanna go out too. All right, come on. Cira, this is it. Come on. Fashion. I'm gonna go. Think outside the box.

Think outside the box. Scents. Fashion scents. Is it? Is it? Is it? Is it? Cira!

Yes! Yes! Yes! 5,000. Oh my goodness. Yay! My partner's so stoked. We've been springing all morning. Oh, Cira 5,000. Oh, my goodness. Yay, my partner's so stoked. We've been ringing all morning.

Oh, Sarah, well done. 600 calls she made on Friday to get through. A phenomenal effort. And she joins us on the phone now. Sarah, how are you feeling? Yeah, feeling good, thanks. Yeah, can't really believe it, to be honest. Yeah, amazing.

I imagine it's one of those things that probably doesn't really feel real until you have the money, I guess. Yeah, a little bit. I was pretty happy the whole day. It was a pretty ecstatic feeling afterwards, but I'm sort of still in a bit of disbelief. So, yeah, but it'll be an awesome feeling once I see it in the bank account for sure. Yeah, now this is a little bit awkward. I'm a little bit...

No, don't do this. Huff. No, don't do this. Don't make a nice moment like... You always have to do a gag, don't do it. Don't make a nice moment like, you always have to do a gag don't you? I'm just going to say I'm a little tight on cash. Can I borrow

$1,000? I thought you were going to say we were going to get the money in. Did you think I wasn't going to put the money in? Oh, the money's going in, that's not the problem. I'm mounting debt. That's the issue. Can I borrow $1,000, Sarah? Do you want to go back in a booth for $1,000? He's good for it.

He's good for it. Have you spent it? Like, have you mentally spent it or planned what you're going to do with it yet or not? We've had to think about what we might do with it. But basically, we want to put it towards something that the baby needs. And then we really want to save the rest. We actually talked about maybe going for a trip when lockdown and COVID's all over and going overseas, but I don't know.

We'll just see. Well, the world is your oyster. Well, not at the moment. The world is just your house because you can't leave it. But one day it'll be your oyster. Put that money to good use. Thank you so much for listening and winning. That was awesome.

Yeah, thanks. It's going to be the best day ever. Open up your card, Ben. Open up your card. I can open up my card. Here we go. This is the musical card. Yeah, thanks. It's going to be the best day ever. Open up your card, Ben. Open up your card. I can open up my card. Here we go. This is the musical card. Here you go.

Thanks. Ben was given an excruciating card with it's going to be the best day of your life. Yeah, let's give it to the kids over the weekend to cheer them up during lockdown. Ironically, it didn't cheer me up. Hey, Sarah, you look after yourself. Keep safe in Tauranga, okay? I will do. You guys as well.

Thanks again. And if you want to have a crack at five words 0800 THE HITS, give us a call. We'll play it next. You could be like Sarah. Oh, yeah, you could be just like that. It is THE HITS. Five words for 5K on THE HITS. You're only five words away from a massive payday.

Oh, it's back to this again. Hearing that intro just gave me a shudder. We played it non-stop from 7.45 on Friday morning until we had a winner. It was Sarah just before one o'clock. Yeah, and today, Hamish, it could be you. Welcome to New Zealand's breakfast. You're a corrections officer, Hammer. Yeah.

On his way to work and he had like $5,000 cash and the unspeakable things I would do for $5,000. Ben won't even speak of them, will you? No. He paid me once and he's like, I never want to hear of these again. That's why they're unspeakable. Now, Hamish, you've got to decide

who you want to send into my old mate, the soundproof booth. Ben, I reckon. Back in there. Back again. Underwent a very deep clean. Guess who's back, back, back, back again. Reacquainted with his old friend, the soundproof booth. He looks like a broken man.

Probably much like the prisoners you go and see every day, Hamish. He's locked in there. He's dead inside. All right, Hamish. Ben is locked in there. He's dead inside. All right, Hamish. Ben is in the soundproof booth. And you, my dear friend, have to come up with five words that match with his. You know how the game works. Yeah, I've been trying to call up every now and then.

Oh, good on you, Hamish. I've got three. All right, my man. First word is poached. Poached egg? Yes. Sprained word number two for you, my man. First word is poached. Poached egg? Yes. Sprained, word number two for you, Hamish. Yep.

Sorry? Sprained. S-P-R-A-I-N-E-D. Sprained. Sprained. Sprained. Oh, sprained. Sorry, S-P.

Oh, sprained. P for Peter, yes, sprained. Sprained ankle? Railway. Railway. Railway road. Tortilla. Sorry? Tortilla.

Tortilla? Yeah. Tortilla chip? Word number five, paper. Paper? Yeah. Chip. Word number five, paper. Paper. Yeah. Paper clip. Mate, do you know what?

I got four words with you. Wow. Yeah. I got four. What did you get, Ju? I got three. You played a good game, Hamish. Hopefully.

All right. Now, a lot of pressure on Ben Boyce as he comes out of the soundproof booth. More pressure than Juliet explaining herself to management after a work party. They're intense conversations, aren't they, Ju? Yes, they are. How was that being back in there? Oh, yeah. Terrifying?

Yeah, a little bit. I was like, oh, my old friend. Here we go again. There's not much space in there. It's like going back into lockdown. You're like, I remember this, you know? There's not enough room to swing a cat in there, but I don't know why swinging cats is the measurement

of how much room is in a location. But Hamish did well. I was saying I matched four words with him. Oh, really? Yeah. Okay. Which means you just need to match five, and he's got five grand.

Okay. What just happened? First word poached. Eggs. Thank you. Oh. What? What did you say? Eggs. First word poached Eggs Thank you Oh What? What did you say?

Eggs Egg I said egg I said egg I said egg I said egg I said egg Oh really?

Sorry I'm sorry We have to be harsh Hamish. I hate that rule. One letter. Mate. Can we go through the rest?

Yeah, let's go through the rest. Sprained. Ankle. Well, you don't want to go ankles. Railway. Road. Tortilla. Road. Tortilla. Mexican.

And paper. Clip. Hamish, mate. Not bad. Not bad. I'll say four out of five, but some other people will say three out of five. Hey, Hamish, sorry we couldn't come through for you this morning. Thank you so much for listening to the show

and working during these testing times. Yeah, all good. All good. Hey, what happens in prison during lockdown? Probably not much changes. No, not really. Still life goes on over there. Yeah.

Are they vaccinated? Have they been vaccinated already? Yep, I've been vaccinated. Yeah, right. Oh, good on you, Hamish. Well, you keep safe and have a great day. See you, Hamish. Spy next.

Chew, what have we got? Yeah, there's someone wandering around in Alabama who looks exactly like one of Ben's favourite people. I'll tell you who next. 753, it is the hits. Jono and Ben. Spy. No, what's up? Spy.co.nz.

She's spent her lockdown cooking all sorts of stuff. Pizzas, pastas. And now she's been cooking up something else in the kitchen. It's made-up gossip about all of the world's favourite celebrities. Juliet, what's happening in Spy? This might be a story that will intrigue you, Benjamin Boyce. In Alabama, there is a police officer wandering the streets and he's gone viral on TikTok.

His name is Lieutenant Eric Fields and he's become a local star because he literally looks exactly like Dwayne The Rock Johnson. People swear up and down that it is actually him filming something or doing something for a particular movie because that literally

looks exactly the same. The photo that I saw, we'll check it on our instagram story right now the hits breakfast i saw it screen by screen i was like and i don't want to study dwayne the rock johnson more than i am yeah he even gets news alerts that's why he already knows about this story yeah and i was like which is it oh and i had to do a double take into which one it was actually was yeah crazy isn't it and the photo and the angle i mean maybe it's just the angle, I haven't seen other photos of the guy, but it looks exactly like Dwayne the Rock Johnson. He should retire from becoming a police officer

and become an impersonator instead. Yeah, so put on a Hits Breakfast right now for you. And in other news, Justin Bieber has become Spotify's most listened to artist of all time with more than 83.3 million monthly listeners. So he's the biggest star on Spotify. How many? 83.3 million monthly

listeners every month. At least that many people listen to him. Ben once held on to a bottle of water that Justin Bieber drank out of. As a fully grown adult he did this. This wasn't in wild teenage years or anything. And do you regret throwing that bottle away now

maybe I do with news like this I was like what am I doing why am I keeping a bottle how long was it until you like you really pulled yourself out of that well I put it on the desk

at work I had it and I had a few days and then I was like what am I doing I would have literally done the same thing I 100% would have I was like Justin Bieber

I should keep that and I kept it yes but then I was like why am I keeping that his DNA was in that bottle you could clone him with that. You could have caught a virus off Justin Bieber if you had drunk that bottle.

What were your master plans for it, though? You had none? No, I didn't have any. I had no sinister plans. I just thought, oh, Bieber drunk out of that. I should keep that. Yeah, because we were clearing up, tidying up after our show where we had Justin Bieber on, and I was like, hey, this is his bottle.

He drunk out of this. That's so cool. And then I was like, I'll keep it. But also you'd just met him, so surely meeting him is cooler than keeping his drink bottle at the same time as well? Yeah, it was. It was actually, but I was like, oh, you know. Why not? He flicked Ben in the genitals as well. Did he?

It sounds like I'm just making that up. No, he did actually. Did he? What a claim to fame. I know, yeah. Oh, wow. He was like, hey buddy, what are you doing in that water bottle? Bang. No, we were goofing around backstage with him, and it was fun. Was he cool? Yeah, he was actually really cool. Ben hasn't washed them since.

I was going to wash it with that water bottle. After 8 o'clock this morning, we've got a really big thing happening today on the hits. Fun thing. 90s versus the noughties. And you get to decide what decade was better. We're going to bring you up to speed with this, and we've got a very special guest joining us too with their take on what was a better decade in the world of film.

Okay, and I don't know why I'm saying it so slow and spaced out. Yeah, we'll do that after 8 o'clock. We'll explain more as well as Lisa Adams, who won gold for New Zealand at the Paralympics. She joins us after 8. It is the hits. New Zealand's breakfast. This is Jono and Ben on the hits. Kia ora, good morning. Just gone eight o'clock. You're on the hits with

Jono and Ben. Four o'clock today we'll find out if the restrictions will ease or maybe intensify in Auckland and come Tuesday midnight as well. We'll find out. Well you're saying they're talking about a 4.5. Yeah. Ramping it up.

Where does this happen? Hasn't Auckland already been kicked in the guts enough? Yeah. Now you want to raise it up by 0.5? We've got something pretty cool to keep you entertained through lockdown. A brand new competition we're doing each day on The Hits. Bring it. The Hits.

90s versus 90s. It's tracks from the movies and TV. The Hits. That's right. We're going to settle a debate that's been raging on, and it's not should Auckland drop back to Level 3 with the rest of the country so they're not isolated from the remainder of Aotearoa. It's what's the better decade, the 90s or the noughties? Now, each day they're going to be focusing in on certain aspects of both decades.

But today, Phil. Yeah, we're going to start with film and TV today, and we're going to focus on film and movies. The best. So which which decade the 90s or the 2000s had the best theme songs the best soundtracks for movies does it say dance mix to jurassic park it might be it is yeah i don't know if jurassic park needed a dance mix the dancing dinosaurs uh but we're going to be joined by Kate Rogers. She's the News Hub reporter, entertainment reporter, and she's going to give her thoughts on what should be the best decade when it comes to movie themes.

You and your lot would love this at three in the morning, wouldn't you, Jim? Oh, yeah. Yeah, the Jurassic Park dance mix. As well as at this hour, we want to find out about your lockdown eating achievements. And Lisa Adams from the Adams, the very famous Adams family, and I'm not talking about the movies.

Not Morticia in the line. No, I'm talking about the ones that are so successful. You've got Dame Valerie Adams, you've got Stephen Adams, and you've got Lisa Adams, who won gold over the weekend for New Zealand. She joins us from Tokyo. It is the hits. You've got Jono and Ben. The show where the masks make them look a whole lot better.

Can't save this battered up old face. It makes you beautiful. Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast. You're on the hits, Jono and Ben, all of Aotearoa right now in lockdown. But things are changing. Things are changing into different levels come midnight. Tomorrow night, Tuesday night, everyone outside of Auckland and Northland will be going to level three. But right now, we're all

the same. We're all on the same team of five million, aren't we? Yeah, so the rest of the country is going to be going down and Auckland potentially going up to 4.5 as well. When did they throw this into the mix? What did we do to deserve this? I don't know. If you just tuned in the show, we don't know if that's actually happening, but that's some of the experts are saying maybe they

could tighten restrictions. Yeah, it's great to just you know widen that divide uh between the rest of the country and auckland uh but we wanted to you know while we're all together well you want to get a sore and just soar us off we'll just float out into the ocean out into the tassie uh we wanted to know right now because you know we've been talking about some of the uh the bad habits that creep in during lockdown and we don in during lockdown, and we don't blame anyone for this. This is what happens. It's unsettling times. So we want to recognise that

and almost celebrate some of these things that you've achieved, particularly around eating right now. Yeah, these are your lockdown eating achievements. You're not proud of them. I mentioned last week, just in passing, I had three bowls of onion dip in 90 minutes. And a fatal mistake, because ever since then, you keep bringing it up. We even had a team meeting, and Producer Humphrey was diagnosing it.

Yeah, he was like, hang on, hang on. You, just you? And I was like, yeah. Just you. And he's like, how many chips per bowl? And I was like, well, there's a packet of chips per bowl. Yeah. Yeah, so three bags of chips, three bowls of onion dip.

And my son, my son during the weekend, I was on the phone to a friend, and he just, while I was on the phone, placed a bowl of onion dip in front of me. I'm not concentrating. All of a sudden, I'm eating onion dip, and I get three-quarters of the way through it. I'm like, what did I do to deserve this? Out of all the white substances to be addicted to, having a coke addiction would probably be safer. So we want to know right now

and I'll hand you the hats, we want to celebrate with you because why not? Why not? It seems like a fun thing to do. What has been the eating achievement that you've managed to do during lockdown? Maybe you've eaten the strange combinations of food because that's all you had in the pantry. Or maybe like this lady we spoke to on Friday who was

pregnant, she had a bit of a craving and she ate birthday cake for breakfast. Great to have you on. You're locked down too, kids. You preggers. Yeah, and I've just been eating birthday cake. Good breakfast. I love it. Breakfast birthday cake. Not even her birthday. No, it wasn't. Just phoned that cake in to celebrate. I love it.

Now, Ben, you've got to name the worst thing that you've eaten over the 48 hour period. Now traditionally you know, you're a celery stick hummus guy. What did you do? What did you do? Please just think of something. Please just think of something to make me feel better about myself. Last night I had half a slice of cheesecake. Oh jeez. Half?

Yeah and I didn't eat the whole lot but I had the fruit off the top and I ate the thing and the biscuit was lovely. It was lovely, but I ate half. Yeah, I did. I ate half the slice. And he double-dipped on some Lisa's beetroot hummus or something. I did, actually. It was quite a big slice, in my defense.

I was like, I'm never going to eat that. And they were like, go on, eat it. No, but I didn't. Are you not a cake person? No, but it's nice. I like the cheesecake. Skimmed the fruit off the top? Yeah, it was nice.

Have you tried, and I just discovered this at the beginning of lockdown, Tobarone cheesecake? Oh, wow. nice. Have you tried, and I just discovered this at the beginning of lockdown, Toblerone cheesecake. Oh, wow. Dear God. Dear God. Yum. It sounds good. It does sound good. Yeah, it does. I've got to the stage where even my fridge and pantry are judging me now. Every time I open them, they're like, oh, mate, you're back. Back again?

Back again. Oh, okay, so soon. Oh, you're getting those? Okay. Pajamas all day, fine with us. Jono and Ben. New Zealand's breakfast. And day. Fine with us. Jono and Ben. New Zealand's breakfast. And as it hits, you've got Jono and Ben, 8.16. Of course, today we find out if the levels are going to be changing. It sounds like they're not going to be right.

It sounds like they've already made the decision, but we'll find out today at 4 o'clock. Yeah, and one of the big things, too, associated with lockdown is the bigger I'm getting, actually, speaking of big things, the food intake. A month's worth of shopping disappears in a weekend just because you've got nothing else to do we're just talking about it's kind of that time at the moment you're kind of like oh well yeah just go for a little bit of wander into the you know to check out the pantry or something you know yeah proudly have uh really kept uh onion dip my whole body is just sloshing around with onion dip if i put put the moat next to my stomach, you'll just

hear... Juliet, you said you nearly went through a whole bar of chocolate? Yeah, hot chocolate and I've been making a lot of pizza dough as well, so every day for the last pretty much most of lockdown, I've been having a pizza a day. Yeah, and you've been sending us all those photos. Yeah, I know. Oh, good actually. Thank you very much. Yeah, I've been indulging.

And Ben, as you mentioned before, double dipped in some beetroot hummus, treating himself there. Felt bad afterwards. Shouldn't have done it. Shouldn't have done it. Naughty Ben. Time out.

Now, a friend of the show is Nella Zissa, who, as you will know from her many competitive eating feats, Nella, welcome back. Hey, guys. How are you? You have the appetite of five fully grown lions. Yeah. You can really, but what have you been eating during lockdown? She just ate her phone. She's so hungry. She was like, I'm going to eat this cell phone.

You watch. Nella, we've spoken to Nella before. She is a competitive eater, right? And so she went to the world champion Nathan's hot dog eating competition. Yeah, we sent her over. We actually sent her over there, didn't we, once? And that's a disturbing sport to watch. Just people deep-throating hot dogs in a race against time.

Even when you win, you lose because you you're beating the most amount of hot dogs. And they put them in water? They soak the bread and... Is that to make it easier to eat? So it goes down. Oh, my God. Yeah, it's hard to watch, isn't it? It's like that crate challenge on TikTok.

Yeah. But you can't stop watching it. Nella, you're back. Yep, I'm back. I think the phone just cut out. Oh, right. She didn't need her cell phone. I was wrong.

Nella, let's go. What's the most impressive thing you've ever eaten, like, in a single sitting, you'd say? She's done it again. She keeps getting hungry. Are you offending her? Am I offending her? She's like, I didn't come on here to talk about eating. Why do you come on with these questions, Ben?

Okay. You and Hosking, always looking for an angle, aren't you? That's why Jacinda, you knowinda refuses to come on my show. Yeah, well, that's why Nella's never going to come back on this show. She'll try and get it back on because third time's always a charm. Nothing like a couple of flailing radio announcers. What would they say at the end of a six-month radio school course? What would they say here?

What would they have done? What would be their advice? They would have probably said pull out about a minute and a half ago. But I obviously didn't listen at radio school, so we're still here. Okay. And pulling out now is probably the appropriate time. We can do. Or should we go one more time?

I do have a fact about hot dogs. A hot dog shaves 36... No, I saw this. I saw this recently and I was like, I'm going to Google this to save the fact. I just love that you're trying to help us out here with the facts, Julia. Our daughter coming to our rescue. No, but it's relevant. A hot dog shaves 36 minutes off life,

but Nathan's champion, Joey Chestnut, is not worried. 36, what? Say that again? A hot, see, you're interested now. A hot dog shaves 36 minutes off your life, apparently. Really? Yeah, study suggests, but who knows if that study's legit. I've got a fun fact about glaciers.

Did you know they hold 69% of the world's fresh water? And Nella's back on. Some champagne filling in there from the team. Thank God it's locked down. Yeah. Nella, you there? Nella? Alright, we've lost her. Okay, no.

I mean, we gave it a good honest crack. We gave it three times back there and hey, we all never know that's the show that almost got there but didn't That's the hits you got John O'Baird That's right, so we're deciding what decade's better, the 90s or the noughties and you make the vote, it's a democratic society we're deciding what decade's better, the 90s or the noughties, and you make the vote.

It's a democratic society we live in, commercial radio. And it kicks off after 9 o'clock today, starting with the movie soundtracks and TV soundtracks, the best music from those. And joining us, three News Hub reporter and entertainment reporter, Kate Roger, back for the second week in a row. This is starting to become a habit. I'm not so sure that I like these early morning phone calls, but you know what? It's okay. It's because I love you, I'll do it. She's always so happy, the Jolly Roger we call her.

Oh wow, that was a step too far. I texted Kate yesterday, I was like, can you come on the show? We'd love to talk to you. She's like, why do I find it so hard to say no to you guys? Oh, thank you Kate. I know, you like that every time. to you guys we take full advantage of your generosity now kate uh today the 90s versus noughties after nine o'clock it kicks off on the hits people are going to be voting you know which decade had the

better uh the better cinema the better film and everything associated with that in terms of soundtracks and all sorts for you what is the is the preferred decade? Well, the 90s, I don't know, I guess I was in London. The soundtracks became cool. We'd had a couple, if you can remember, Grease was pretty cool when I was a child, and Big Chill was a pretty good one. But the 90s, I think it was a combination of Quentin Tarantino and his just outstandingly curated soundtracks of Reservoir Dogs

and Pulp Fiction, but you also had Trainspotting, which is almost my soundtrack for that entire decade. Oh, of course. Honestly, I don't know what it was, but I just got completely buried in it again. So it's kind of hard. Born Slippy from Underworld on that soundtrack, but Trainspotting is probably my anthem for the 90s. It's a toughie.

And your wild London years. What was going on in the 90s. It's a toughie. And your wild London years. What was going on in the 90s in London, Kate Rogers? Nothing. I was working in a library and I read lots of books and I didn't stay out. I don't know what goes on in that town. I would have loved to have seen London, Kate Rogers. Oh, no, you wouldn't. No, I don't know.

But look, and also Romeo and Juliet, the Baz Luhrmann film. Oh, my God. Loved that soundtrack as well. So there's kind of a mix. Or you could get real crazy and you could do the Celine Dion and My Heart Will Go On. Titanic. Lion King, too.

Epic soundtrack. Yeah. Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump's another great soundtrack, you know, with all the songs. True, true, true, too. Yeah. Epic soundtrack. Yeah. Forrest Gump. Forrest Gump's another great soundtrack, you know, with all the songs. True, true, true, true. You know what I'm told is the biggest selling soundtrack of all time to date? Oh, is this a guessing game? Okay.

Yeah, you lose. No. It's the Bodyguard and off the back of Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You, which is probably completely iconic. Well, it is iconic. Dolly Parton wrote the song. Elvis tried to buy it, but they couldn't make a deal. So she sold it to Whitney Houston.

And there's a great gram from Dolly Parton saying that off the back of that song, I could have bought Graceland. Because, of course, every time that song gets played, Dolly gets some cash. And it's a beautiful song. The Dolly version's gorgeous, too. I dare you to play it one day. But yeah, Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You, absolute cracker.

So what a decade. I haven't even started on the 2000s. Okay, so basically it sounds like your favourite movie decade as far as soundtrack goes was the 90s though. Yeah, I know. But then you do cruise into the 2000s and it just gets different. It gets a bit darker and a little bit more moody

because one of my favourite soundtracks from the 2000s is Donnie Darko. And again, it's a curated soundtrack as opposed to originals. But Mad Mad World and Tears for Fears and Killing Moon, for me, that kind of personifies that decade. And then Anna Pinkman was an almost famous cracking movie. And I know Elton has lent his songwriting skills obviously to Lion King and all sorts of other soundtracks but he gave them

Tiny Dancer for that soundtrack and it just had this massive resurgence and it became one of my favourite Elton songs. My only bugbear with Tiny Dancer and I love it it's one of my favourites is it takes too long to get to the hold me closer you know it takes like three minutes to get to the bit that you want.

Yeah. That's how it would have started if I was Elton, right? Yeah. Right. Okay. Now, I feel you. Do you love the Anchorman films? Oh, yes.

Yeah. Afternoon Delight. Is that one you're going to bring up? Oh, my Lord. One of my favourites is Bull Ride. And they say that's such a beautiful moment where they all start kind of chipping in and then it becomes the full acapella. I love that.

It's a great song. Afternoon delight. Woo! I know. I knew I was going to regret that. Yeah. If you want to go, and it's also a film that I tend to find myself watching once a year

because I love it and I'm such a massive Eminem fan. But 8 Mile is just, I don't know, it's just so watchable and rewatchable and it's so raw. Eminem does such a terrific job essentially playing himself as B-Rabbit. But Lose Yourself, he wrote while he was sitting around in his trailer and on set while making that film. And then it just went absolutely mental. I think two Grammys and an Oscar. And it's one of those songs that's almost hard to beat, and I think it was the first hip-hop song

to really crack into the movie soundtrack. I mean, you have Skins of Paradise and a few others, but he wrote it for the film while he was making it. Want more Jono and Ben?
