Just when you thought you couldn't get enough of Jono and Ben, you can have them anywhere, anytime. Welcome to the Jono and Ben podcast. Welcome to the podcast. It's the 4th of November.

I was trying to think, is it the 4th? Is it a significant date in any? Diwali today. Diwali, yeah. Yeah, it starts today. That's for five days. We learn about that actually on the podcast today. Guy Fawkes is tomorrow.

November 5th. There's Guy Fawkes. Apparently there's a huge issue with incoming fireworks from China. China. Because they can't, you know, shipping, COVID, delays. Apparently there's a firework shortage in New Zealand

and you're not one for fireworks, are you? No, I do love going to a place where it's, you know, it's put on for me. You know, like if it's there. Would you come to my place if I was putting one on for you?

No. Like, but if I was Christmas in the park or something like that, I'm awesome. You know, I'm there. I'm there. He likes responsible, professional fireworks. Yeah, I do now. Not me sticking a skyrocket out of my butt cheeks. No, I'm awesome. You know, I'm there. I'm there. It's great. You're like a responsible professional firework. Yeah, I do now.

Not me sticking a skyrocket out of my butt cheeks. No, I don't. And you know, you change and you grow up a little bit as well and you have animals and you have kids, you know. And I also think they need to be like, if they are going to let mad dogs have them in the backyard, it's like, it's already started

already nights ago and it goes for like weeks afterwards yeah you get a good you know you get a good maybe three week lead in don't you with the odd

at like one one o'clock in the morning and they do continue they do drag on into early Christmas the fireworks don't they it's like

set a limit on it at least but anyway I've asked about you know we went mid-December I was like wow they're still going

can I get a New Zealand Herald headline Ben Boy's calling for complete fireworks ban no no a complete fireworks ban? No. No, not a complete fireworks ban, not a public displays of affection and fireworks. One I'm into, one I'm not so much into.

Are you not into public displays of affection? No. He's not into private fireworks or public displays of affection. I want private displays of affection and public displays of fireworks. That's my thing. Public displays of affection and public displays of fireworks. That's my thing. Public displays of affection. Would you hold hands

at a public fireworks display? Yeah, but not when I walk in. I love my wife, I do. But I don't. I was like, ah. Why don't you drill on this?

Okay, so when are you holding hands? Obviously not in movement, not moving from A to B But it's just, I don't know Sometimes I'm like Who are you doing this for? Are you doing this for you? And if you are, great, good on you, live your life That's fine

Or are you doing this because you are? I don't know Let me create Let us design A setting that you would be comfortable you're doing this because you are like, oh, and I like, I don't know. Okay, well let me create, well let us design a setting that you would be comfortable in holding your wife's hand. I'm going to hold

my wife's hand in any setting, but it's like, it's not, you know, like, yeah, yeah.

You're not going to be like, hey, look at me, I'm holding my wife's hand. He's not going to be, she's parading, peacocking around. Yeah,

yeah. Look how good I hold my wife's hand. It's probably more of a, yeah, down, you know, not public displays.

What about a lip to lip kiss at Christmas in the Park? Yeah, lip to lip kisses are all right, but I wouldn't be like just, you know, just like. It's a pick. Yeah. Like sometimes when you're like, you're at concerts and things like that, people are just really going for it. And that's cool. And again, it's fine if, you's fine if you want to do that. It's fine.

But sometimes you're like, I'm just here to watch. Yeah, Wanda, you're watching Kendrick Lamar. Kendrick Lamar, yeah. We were up high at Spark Arena. There was a couple behind me. Their legs were over my shoulders. I was trapped. At one point, I was in his groin.

The back of my head was in his groin. And I thought, well, jeez, do I chalk this up as a win? Do I put a notch on my belt? Did I participate in this? Maybe you did, yeah. Oh, this has been great. A line in this, I love this. Ben Boyce has drawn a line in this ad.

When it comes to fireworks and public displays of affection. I don't know why. I didn't seem passionate about this before this chat. This is the win-win and this is what I wanted to pitch to you. If you come to my house and you do watch me put a skyrocket in my butt cheeks. It's a private display

and you can have private displays of affection. I'm not saying anything. I can get one of my things away. I won't go on here and say Ben Boyce

was canoodling with his partner in my front lawn. Yeah. Yeah, okay. But still no? Well, yeah. Half of it I'm into

half of it not as much but we'll talk more. New Zealand's breakfast. This is Jono and Ben on the hits. Good morning, New Zealand. Welcome along to the show. Just gone six o'clock on your Thursday morning. Good to have you with us.

We've got a big show today. We're going to catch up with the winner of Celebrity Treasure Island. Spoiler alert, if you haven't watched it, but it's all over the news and social media, Chris Parker. Yay! Which is awesome. You're so stoked. So stoked because's all over the news and social media. Chris Parker, which is awesome. Yeah, you're so stoked. You'd see the emotion last night.

27 days or something they've been there. Probably lack of food, lack of sleep, lack of energy, and just the emotion of winning $100,000 for a Rainbow Youth. Awesome. Yeah, you could tell it meant a lot to him too. My thing was spoiler alerts, Ben, and you just, you know, you're guilty of it. You're guilty as charged. You went, spoiler alert, Chris Parker won.

I gave it a little pause. It was not much of a pause. Chris Parker. Spoiler alert. Well, I kind of did, and then I went, it's all over social media. Yeah. You know, like, by this stage, you know, if you haven't watched it yet, that's on you. Yeah, yeah.

It's kind of got to a time in the world now That you need to watch things like that When they're happening Or don't go on your phone Or don't listen to the radio Don't watch TV You're putting it back on them, are you? Because it's on the Herald It's on Stuff

It's on TVNZ It's on Instagram Chris Parker's They've all put messages out there Ben's like, don't pin this on me, buddy Juliet texted last night She's like, should I put a post up? You were concerned about spoiler alert.

That was straight after the show, though, right? Yes, that was straight after. It was teasing that we'd have the winner on. And I was like, well, I don't want people to get annoyed in case they haven't watched it. And John, I suggested add a little spoiler alert. Which is nice, last night. But today, I'm like, you know, if you haven't,

you know, if you haven't, then it's not on me. To be honest, if you haven't, you're probably not going to binge watch Celebrity Treasure Island. Spoiler alert, Labour wins the election last year, guys, if you haven't got up to date with that. People start out loving them and then all of a sudden there's a bit of a turd. Yeah, a year later, wow. I also got the Wild Twins too. Serena and Amber. Yes, they have been on a discovery show which was Naked and Afraid.

They were in the African wilderness for a month, naked and or afraid. I don't know what came first, but they had elephants attacking them. I think there were hyenas circling their camp. They're joining us before 7 o'clock. Well, way to make Chris Parker's success not seem quite as cool, mate. Chris Parker sat on a lovely beach in Northland. Hey, that's the tall poppy choppers that we always heard about, eh? It's you.

A big show of reality TV stars this morning. It is the hits. You've got Jono and Ben. The show where the masks make them look a whole lot better. Can't say this battered up old face. It makes you beautiful. Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast. It is the hits. Jono and Ben, you can win some free fish and chips in Christchurch today between 12 and 2 if you want to go along to Cashel Street Fish and Chip Shop.

Geez, they're going to be run off their feet aren't they hey I was actually speaking of fish and chips I was in the fish and chip shop last night Ben and a lovely lady came up

and said are you from the radio because yeah masks etc and I said well yes I am what do you want an inspirational quote autographs photos I'll do it all anything for a fan and she's like well no I'm not actually a fan You want an inspirational quote, you have autographs. It's actually Justin's photo. Yeah, whatever.

I'll do it all. I'll do it all. Anything for a fan. And she's like, well, no, I'm not actually a fan, but my kids listen to your show every morning, which is an odd, I find that an odd concept, children listening to us. But in particular, too, because they were saying that

when we were on at 10 o'clock at night on TV, and it was a very X-rated version of the show, wasn't it? Yeah, I was watching some old skits we did the other day and me, I was just F this, F that. And I'm like, unnecessarily too? What does 2021 Ben want to say back to 2005 Ben? Pull your head in, mate. I don't know who you're trying to impress.

You've never been cool. You won't be cool. But at least you can go through. I'm the same. You're like, mate, you know? I don't know who you're trying to impress. You've never been cool. You won't be cool. But, you know, at least you can go through. I'm the same. I'm the same. Pull your head in. That's such an old person thing to say. Hey, mate, pull your head in. If I can travel back in time, I'll tell my younger self to pull your head in, mate. You played a prank on me. It was when I was watching. And, you know, admittedly,

you gave me a heck of a fright. But I'm like, if you guys are after me. And I'm like, oh, unnecessarily., and, and we should have beeped it. Why don't we just let that go out to, like, why don't we, okay. Yeah. You swore. Okay. It happens.

We all like to, you know, some words, but then you beep, you know, I'll beep it. You know, I, it's a, it's such a, such a Dad thing to say Why do you want to go back to your youngest Elvis Pull your head in mate Oh yeah Now your kids might see that on the internet What are you going to say

Pull your head in I feel like they're a lot Kids in general, now the generalisation I hate doing generalisations but I feel like kids are a lot. Kids in general, now the generalisation, I hate doing generalisations, but I feel like kids are more responsible these days than the kids, you know that? And women are less stronger than men, is another generalisation.

Are we joking? Are we joking on generalisations? No, we're not going there. Julia, come in here and prove it. We're not going there. No, it's not true. I can't get Valerie Adams to come in here and arm wrestle you, you know?

We're doing generalisations. No, we're not doing generalisations. What am I trying to prove here? Don't get involved with this. I reckon I can actually answer it. He's sweeping generalisations. He's saying that women aren't as strong as men. I didn't say that.

He said that. I said that I thought kids generally were probably a bit more sensible than kids back in the day. At the moment. These days. These days. They were saying more sensible. That's what the day. At the moment. These days. These days, they'll say more sensible. That's what I said to her. And then old mate over here.

Who brings genders into it. Which these days is no. Now I'm going to say pull your head in, okay? Lift your game, Jonathan. Pull your head in. What I will say about producer Juliet at age 23 is more sensible than I'll ever be in life. Don't you agree?

Yeah, totally. Imagine you go back to 23-year-old, pull your head and Ben Moyes. Yeah. Compare that to producer Juliet, the way she holds herself. You haven't seen me on a Saturday night, you know. You've only seen me in a professional manner. Yeah.

Yeah, well, nine to five, Juliet, we appreciate. I don't want you to tarnish. No, I won't. No. I'll be good. Thanks, Jude. We've got $5,000 up for grabs this morning at 7.45. If you want a wee bit of an advantage, go to the Hits Breakfast on Instagram and Facebook,

and you can get the words that we're going to use today. Hopefully, you can get five grand. It's Adele. It is the Hits. What I chose to do. So go easy. Oh, such a nice tune. It is Adele.

You're on the hits, Jono and Ben. 6.17, Thursday morning. Now, the Wild Twins, Kiwi Twins, who grew up on a farm and have done some amazing things in their life, some extreme activities. They've got a new book out. It's called The Wild Twins.

And they talk about things like going on a hit international reality TV show where they live for weeks with no clothes and basically no supplies and try to survive in the African wilderness naked and afraid. Can you hear that? We've heard growls, which will definitely be leper. Ah-ha! Oh, yeah. They've got an incredible story They are the Wild Twins, Amber and Serena

They're with us now over Zoom How are you guys this morning? Good, good Good to be here Lovely Now I don't know if you're familiar with DJ Khaled Do you know DJ Khaled? A lot of it

So he did a song with Rihanna Called, what was it? Wild, Wild Thoughts, wasn't it? Wild, Wild Thoughts. And so I had a theme song for you, if you don't mind. Okay, you ready? I'm ready. They don't know the song, so this is going to mean nothing to them.

But you can do it. I'm glad that you committed to that. I mean, you can always Google the song. It's a good song. I've got to hear it now. Okay, well, you know, you can pull out of this if you want. You can pull out of it. Okay, okay.

Wild, wild twins. Wild, wild twins. Now, that means absolutely nothing for you at the moment if you don't know the song. Wild, wild thoughts is what they... Anyway, you've got a book out at the moment, Wild Twins. It's a really, really fascinating book. We love the effort anyway. Well, there is what they, anyway. We've got a book out at the moment, Wild Twins. It's a really, really fascinating book.

We love the effort anyway. Well, there's pretty much zero effort that went into that. I'm sorry. I actually took the book home. I had it sitting next to my bed and my wife's like, why have you got a book with twins? You've got the Wild Twins. I was like, I don't know.

Why is this by the bedside table? But it's really, really interesting. You guys have achieved so much in your life. I mean, it's pretty incredible. And some things I didn't even know about, because obviously we know about the show that you went on for 21 days, Naked and Afraid, the Discovery show. If people don't know about that, explain what you did for that.

So that was a survival challenge where we were dropped in the African wildernessan wilderness for three weeks um and we had to survive with nothing at all including clothes so um we just had a machete and a bow and arrow between us a recurve as you could have done with like a pair of trackies or a hoodie as well but yeah would it be nice were you afraid were you naked and afraid the whole time were you afraid the whole time or there were moments where you you were like, oh, no, I'm quite content here? There were definitely moments where we were content. Naked throughout, though. Yeah, well, you guys had the, like, I was reading elephants in the middle of the night

that was basically trying to invade your camper. It would have been quite a scary experience. Yeah, that one was pretty crazy, actually. It was, like, pitch black around the campfire. Out of nowhere, we just hear what sounds like a Tyrannosaurus rex coming through the night and just trees getting thrown around. We really thought this is it for that night. This is how we're going out.

It's the way we go. Because elephants, they can be quite aggressive, can't they? Yeah, especially the lone bull elephants, which just our luck, it was a lone bull elephant. So were they coming for you? At the start, I think it was just coming our way and we happened to be camped in the wrong spot. But certainly once it knew we were there, it was very intrigued

and, yeah, obviously wanted to show us who was the boss in the wilderness which we certainly saw that it's not like you know disney's done a good job of painting like dumbo as a love of all elephant yeah but i tell you what you want to don't want to get on the wrong side of an elephant you You really don't, no. Especially when they can throw around whole trees like twigs. It makes you appreciate it. So you guys have been on this crazy show that we still can't get our head around, but also done some amazing other things which are in the book. You ran the world's highest marathon on Mount Everest. Now tell us about that. Yeah, that one was actually a bit of a fluke. We were hiking

up to base camp at Mount Everest, and when we got there, we managed to get up there a day early because of a storm, and we got there and realised that all the people up there were there for the world's highest marathon. So you just... We had originally had this crazy plan to do a workout at the top, so we'd actually brung our running shoes and running gear so we were kind of all set up, ready to go.

And we managed to twist their arm to let us enter. And then, yeah, next thing we know, next day, we're running the World's Highest Marathon. Oh, so you get to the top and you're like, what are you guys here for? And they're like, World's Highest Marathon. And you're like, oh, we bought our running shoes. Yeah, we haven't done enough exercise climbing Mount Everest. We've got to go for a marathon.

So this is 40 kilometres. 42, yeah. Wow. Atop of Everest. It must be hard at that altitude. Yeah, it was. Especially, yeah, right up the top. It feels like going for a run whilst breathing through a straw.

Oh, my gosh. It's some people, you know, achieving one thing's just not enough. Like even getting to the top of the mountain, I'll be like, oh, that was, that takes that box. I know,

let alone run a marathon. It's incredible what you guys, as I said before, what you guys have achieved and it's all in the book. But there's a photo in the book that I was going to show Jono here. Look at this. This is Serena lifting Amber up above, above her head.

Like you're like the weights, like a standing sort of bench press. Like you did a snatch with your sister. Yeah, like do you guys, can you both do this or is this the trick that you can do, Serena? No, we can both do it. When we go away and you can't like in the

gym or do a workout. You use your sister. Having a twin because doing body weight exercises on the same weight so it makes it easier. So would you put her on your shoulders and squat? Yeah, definitely. Or do fireman's carry, so chuck one of us on the shoulders

and run sprints down the road. The Wild Twins is definitely the right name for you guys. Very fun to hang out with. The new book out now, Amber and Serena Shine, The Wild Twins, available in all good bookstores. Yes, awesome. Thank you. Thanks for having us. Scrolling through your feed.

He's our news hound. He's got his nose in everywhere and fresh from sniffing the buttocks of topicality. Here's your news for this morning, Ben Boyce. Well, it had been a really, really horrible, heart-wrenching story in the news. Eighteen days ago, a four-year-old Cleo Smith was taken from her tent while her family were camping in Western Australia.

But it turned out to have a happy ending. Yesterday, she was found and rescued from a house in Western Australia around about one o'clock after detectives forced her way into the property and found her alone in the room. And here's the head of police describing the incredible moment. It's my privilege to announce that in the early hours of this morning, the Western Australian Police Force rescued Cleo Smith. Cleo is alive and well.

A police team broke their way into a locked house in Carnarvon at about 1am. They found little Cleo in one of those rooms. One of the officers picked her up into his arms and asked her, what's your name? She said, my name is Cleo. Cleo was reunited with her parents a short time later. This is the outcome we all hoped and prayed for.

Jeez. Just on those, what, 16 days? 18 days. 18 days. You're just the parents. Gosh. They just would not have got a wink of sleep. And so 36-year-old guy's been taken into custody.

He's going to have fun in prison. He was already, yeah, no charges have been laid from what I understand at the moment, but he was heavily bandaged in the back of the ambulance. There was a photo of the guy in question. I think that was from a holding cell or something from what I understand on the news. I think when one other prisoner found out what he did, he went and beat him up. He was already having fun in prison. Yeah, there you go.

But, I mean, jeez, I mean, such a nice ending to such a horrible story. Oh, I know. Just, you know, like such a rollercoaster for those poor parents and for everyone involved. And just to have that result was just amazing. Because the neighbours were saying they saw him in the supermarket buying nappies, and they're like, well, you don't have a child. I mean, I get you nappies every now and then,

but that's for a whole other issue, isn't it, Ben Boyce? But is that enough to sort of go hang on yeah so amazing that she was found and so good that she's alive and well wonderful and President Joe Biden from the USA now there's the big climate change summit going on right now

in Edinburgh Joe Biden the other day we were talking about how he looked like he was having a wee sleep potentially you've called me the Joe Biden of this show that I just doze off. And then we did something the other day where Juliet put an old filter over us on their phone. And Ben's like, you Jesus, you look like Joe Biden. I'm probably only aged up another four or five years. And I'm a doppelganger for Biden.

He's like, just sleep for me. And he's like, there's sleepy Joe. Well, that's what Donald Trump, there's Sleepy Joe. Sleepy Joe. Well, that's what Donald Trump called him, Sleepy Joe. Sleepy Joe Biden will raise your taxes $4 trillion. That's under the auspices of Barack Hussein Obama. And Sleepy Joe Biden. Sleepy.

So there's a big climate change. He had a lot of bad points, but jeez, I miss him for his fodder. Yeah. So climate change summit going on. Obviously, they're there to sort out the planet. So it's in Edinburgh. Yesterday, there was a local sort of gas station where President Sleepy Joe and his motorcade came along. And there was 20 cars in his motorcade.

20 cars in his transportation. And he'd just been, about a week ago, in the Vatican to see the Pope. He had 85 cars in his motorcade. Now, I understand. None of them are electric either. They're all gas guzzlers. 85. Now, I understand you've got to have, he's got to have a big security team.

I get that. And he's got to have lots of cars there that, you know, you don't want to know which car he's in. And all those sort of security team. I get that. And he's got to have lots of cars there that, you know, you don't want to know which car he's in and all those sort of security reasons. But 85? What's the difference between 10 and 70? Yeah. How do you land on 85? You're right. We're going to need 85 cars. You can still have 10 cars and still

go, I don't know which ones he's in. Surely, does the security team not like each other? Can they not all be in the same car at the same time? Carpool, guys. Get in the T3 lane. The other thing too is I think they fly a lot of those vehicles to the countries too. Do they? Well, they're specifically

insane. You're kidding. No, they do. But saving the planet on one, you know, with the climate change on one side and then on the other side. Mowing around the UK. Canceling each other out. Mowing around Europe with 85 cars. Yeah. What was Greta? Greta was outside protesting Thunberg. Have you got her

chant, Juliet? I do. You can shove your climate crisis up your ass. You can shove your climate crisis up your ass. She really got everyone to join in. She went the first time. She had confidence in it too and she only had to do one round and everyone picked up what she's putting down. That's why she's so good.

Shove your climate crisis up your... That's very interesting. And that is scrolling through your feed. It is the hits. You've got Jono and Ben. 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.

Julia, you raised a very interesting point yesterday that we wanted to bring to the forefront of the radio show, the cold face of the radio show. Now,, the coalface of the radio show. Now, the coalface is behind the scenes, isn't it? Oh, yeah. What is this thing? This is shop front. This is all the jazz and pizzazz.

Yeah, you're right. This is not the coalface. Yeah, no. So anyway. It's the shop front. But we're here now. Shoddy shop. Definitely going out of business soon.

But, Julia, you raise a really interesting point in regards to the hair salon. Yeah, so I go to the same, I've been going to the same hair salon for ages for years and years and years and my family go there too and i kind of when i go i don't stick to the same hairdresser i just kind of go with who's available but every time i go and i probably you know pre-lockdown would only go twice a year so it's quite long and if i'm not seeing the same hairdresser i probably you know that they wouldn't really recognize me or know who i was you only cut your hair twice i know it's horrendous

yeah i really need to do it more than that oh i just let my i just forget about it it's a biannual trip to the hairdresser yeah and um i so i go to the hairdresser and i was kind of thinking that every time i go they always remember everything about me and my life and my family so even if i haven't seen them in six months or a year or whoever the hairdresser is and i'm like how do you remember everything about me and i was talking to my dad about this and my dad's like oh i reckon they go after they've had it like after they've cut your hair they'll go back and they'll write notes and so put it into a system and so people know whether whoever cuts your hair off, it's them or whoever, they remember. So they read notes.

So Juliet works in radio. Yeah, they've got so many clients. How do they remember everything? Have you ever said that to them? No, I haven't had that conversation. Maybe next time you go, I'll work with my hair, I'll see if they know that deal. Well, I mean, that's a very good point because they would have hundreds of customers coming through.

Ben, do you have ban with your hair, Baba? Yeah, I've been seeing the same guys cut my hair for many, many years now. Is it like a relationship, like, if you wanted to see other people? You don't feel you could because it would be like a divorce or a breakup? It might feel like a bit of a breakup. Not that you want to break up. No, not that I want to, but it might feel along those lines. A little bit orky.

Yeah, it would be a little bit orky. You'd be like, hey. Especially if you go to someone. You told me you were growing out your hair. no i see you've got a trendy fade there that's the done professionally yeah yeah yeah especially if you go to another cutter in the same salon that's what i another thing i worry about when i go to the same salon and then i'm sitting right next to the person who cut my hair six months earlier i'm like hi sorry i didn't come to you it must be an issue surely i would take it personally if I was them.

Yeah. Should we ring a hair salon now and just see if they do note things down or just they're really good at memorising things. Oh, you've got a number ready to go. I did. Almost like we pre-planned this in the cold face. Are they cutting hair in Dunedin? I would say so.

I would say so. Level two, we're phoning Dunedin. Good morning, Vivo Dunedin. Jamie speaking. Oh, you answered our question. I said, are they cutting hair in Dunedin? And then Jamie said, good morning, Vivo here. Salon, Jamie speaking.

And it's Jono and Ben from The Hits here. How are you? Oh, good, thank you. How are you? We're doing all right. We've just got a quick question for you, a hairdressing question. Juliet, who works with us Juliet's got a question

When you cut someone's hair Do you, and they give you their life updates You have a chat Do you go back after the haircut And sort of note down the things they told you So that you remember it for the next time they come in? Or is that not a thing? This is a trade secret here.

Good point, Sam. I do tend to make little notes, you know, whether they're going for a promotion or graduating. That's a really good technique. Just so we can congratulate them when they come back again. You've got the banter file on your desktop. Just, you know, whether they've got kids or, you know, empty nesters, you know, just little notes with their colour notes.

It does help to keep it cool with the client. It's a great idea, too, you know, just to keep on top of that thing, you know. Am I on the radio? Yeah, you're on the radio. The bad news is you're on our radio. That's the disappointing thing. I'm so happy I answered the phone, guys. I was loving to talk to you. Yeah, no, we do make little notes for our clients. radio. I'm so happy I answered the phone, guys.

We do make little notes for our clients. It's a personal touch that, you know, I'm a mum with a small child, so I forget so much. If you make little notes, it just makes their day when they come in and you're like, how was XYZ? Yeah, they're chuffed.

How's the serious fraud investigation going? Stuff like that. Any more questions? Give me a call, guys. I'm always here. I'd love to send you out a wild bean voucher so you can go get coffee for the team, all right? Oh, thank you.

Yeah, 52 George Street. Bebo donated. Thanks, guys. So you're cutting in level two. Are you having to wear a mask? Yeah, we wear a mask. Yeah. Yeah.

We don't have, the clients are allowed to take off once they're seated at their station but we do make a note of where they were seated. Right. Just for contact tracing purposes of course. So yeah, happy days in Dunedin. Don't talk to us about your happy days. We'll do anything

for you. I'll tell you what, we've had so many Auckland students come in and get their hair done before returning home. Oh, smart. Yeah. Aren't they smart, those uni kids? Haircuts. Even Jono could do with a haircut right now.

Let's say something. Lovely chatting with you. Thank you. That's all good. Thanks, guys. Have a great day. You too, Juliet. There you go, mate.

Juliet, a private investigator. It makes a lot of sense. It's a great idea. Yeah, so good. Even next time I go to the hairdresser, I'm actually going to ask them. I'm going to confront them and be like, do you actually write notes?

Take a note. Take a note. Here you go. Spy, the WhatsApp by doco.nz. All right, time to hand over to producer Juliet. She's our gossip guru, the pope of pop culture. Let's get her on. So Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson,

Pete Davidson, comedian from SNL, used to be engaged to Ariana Grande. They are maybe, maybe dating. So this is kind of progressed from initially they were on SNL together and they kissed on screen as part of a skit, but you know, that's

acting, so we kind of let that pass. Apparently Kanye was not happy about that skit and stormed out of the room and watching it. That's what I read. I don't know who the gossipy friend was. Who's the John O'Brien that has been in a relationship? If you were watching that skit and you stormed out of the room, I'd definitely be texting TMZ.

Oh, he's not happy, he's stormed out. And then they were seen at the same theme park together holding hands during a ride so people were like oh they're holding hands but again they might have just been scared on the ride

they might be good friends but who knows and now they've just been for a secret dinner together apparently in New York she flew over to New York where he lives caught up for dinner

and so these sort of three things consecutively people are like maybe this is a blossoming relationship now he's a writer too on SNL. Did he write that he was going to have to kiss Kim Kardashian? Was this a long

play? Oh, that's smart. Interesting. I've written him many times that I end up kissing Ben in scripts. These scripts never get approved. It's disappointing, isn't it? I'm up to draft 22 now. And you also may have seen last

night, spoiler alert, if you live under a big spoiler alert to do with Celebrity Treasure Island. Yeah, I'm ready now. You can spoil. Chris Parker was the one that won. No, I haven't watched that. I'm running up to episode four. Mate, catch up. Chris Parker

won last night and he was with Lance and Edna in the top three. And I reckon that top three is a very good combination. They were all very engaging characters to watch during the show, and it was quite cool seeing them three in the final. And basically how it all played out was Chris was miles behind the other two. He was coming dead last. And when they got to the final spot for the treasure,

it seemed like Lance and Eda had been digging for hours. And then Chris comes along. They were so far ahead of him in their final challenge. Oh my goodness. And then this is kind of what happened. We cannot be digging under this horrific, dense dirt and grass. There's got to be a spot where to dig. So I begin kind of getting one with nature,

pulling grass, seeing what's stuck in there. Oh wait, what's that? I hear the shovel go, shh. That's yours. You got it. Yes! Chris, congratulations, you've just won Celebrity Treasure Island.

$100,000 is going to Rainbow Youth. It was so good. It was so good. It's all I wanted. It was very emotional. It was a good moment. So happy. Yeah, it was a lovely moment, not only for Chris,

but also with Lance and Barley, who was, you know, digging for hours, and when Chris found it, you know, he came across to help him dig it up. You know, like, instead of trying to fight for him or leave him to do it. It was really cool to see, actually. And you could hear Edna go, it's yours. You've won. You could tell she was like, thanks.

We get off this godforsaken island. 27 days. It's such a huge change. Edna put me in an Uber. I'm done. I would love to see one of you guys go on Slippery Treasure Island that would be so fun I'm so full respect

for everyone that goes on that show I mean it feels like it's been on TV for about four years yeah you watch the opening titles you're like

oh that's right they were on it it was so long ago I'm afraid that I'd return and my wife has moved in with another man and he's now

fathering my children where have you been I've been on Celebrity Treasure Island for five years. Oh, we thought you went missing. Your kids are all of a sudden having their 25th

going to uni. Who are you? I'm Dad. I won Treasure Island. Chris Parker though joining us to talk about that wonderful moment after 8.30 this morning.

And that is Spy for this hour. For more you can head to thehits.co.nz That is the Hits. You got Jono and Ben? New Zealand's breakfast. This is Jono and Ben on the Hits.

You were raised on a steady diet of puns, weren't you? Yes, yeah. Which probably speaks volumes for your bony frame today,

so lacking in nutritional value puns. But I'm going to give you a clue. This is the best pun-named fish and chip shop throughout the world. One in South Africa, a shop just based out of Cape Town, and it's a pun on a movie, which was featuring a famous crime family, Marlon Brando, Al Pacino. It would be...

Oh, Codfather. Oh, it's the Codfather. Codfather, one from one. More big firing tests like that coming your way this morning. It is the hits. You got it, Jon Ombin? Tested safe for listening from home. Keep safe.

And that's all I have to say. Thanks, Dr. Ashley. Jono and Ben. New Zealand's breakfast. You're on the hits, Jono and Ben, on your Thursday morning, 10 past 7. Now, we spoke to a lady the other day who had the name of a famous actor, Julia Roberts. And while we're talking to her about the benefits, the pros and cons of having a name like a famous actor, Julia Roberts. And while we're talking to her about the benefits, the pros and cons of having a name like a famous person,

we also found something... The main benefit was phoning up our radio show and talking to us. And I don't know if that is a benefit, if you chalk that up as one. Also getting, you know, like as soon as you say, booking for Julia Roberts, you know, you probably get a bit, you know, the better treatment. Yeah, and the benefit is probably having the same conversation with about probably 20 people a day about your name.

Yeah, but really interesting thing about her relationship and how long has she been together with her now husband? Have a listen to this. I love it. I do love it. And it's a very important name to me because my husband and I have been together since we were 11. Oh, my gosh. 11 years. How old are you now, if you don't mind me asking, Julia?

Yeah, roughly. 33. Yeah, so since you were 11, asking, Julia? Yeah, roughly. How many? 33. Yeah, so since you're 11, that is incredible. Yeah, 11, yeah. How adorable. And have you ever spent time apart, or you've been together the whole time? We've been together the whole time.

Wow. Wow. Yeah. What happened at 11? Like, who was pitching it to who that you should go out? It was him. So we met at Chisnord Intermediate School. Wow, and you're like, this is never going to last.

At the end of the day, yes. Yeah, that's incredible. There you go. That was crazy. A relationship from 11 years old. So we wanted to chuck this open today. What would surprise us about your relationship, marriage, whatever? Any fun little facts?

Maybe you're married to a Swiss ball. I don't know. I'm just chucking out examples. I plucked one from thin air and it was a shocking one. Or it could be someone that you know. Like my grandparents had the same birthday. Not the same year, but the same birthday. So I've talked to this many times before.

That's so cool. So they would do like an Ocean's Eleven heist on their birthday and they'd go to three different places that would give free food on their birthday. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. That was their routine on the birthday and both of them would eat for free because that was their birthday that is so good that was the cool thing about the relationship they'd celebrate their birthday together and they'd get free food they would see but valentine's and see them coming in for the seafood buffet valentine's added in you had to be with one of four paying people after that. After my grandparents. The loophole.

There you go. It's their fault. I was looking at some surprise relationships. Celebrity relationships. People that you didn't even know were together. Tom Cruise dated Cher. Really? Did you know Tom Cruise dated Cher?

If I could turn back time and go to that year that Tom Cruise was dating Cher, that'd be wonderful to see. Oh, did not know that. But that didn't work out. It was probably a mission impossible to get that relationship going. How many of these are you pre-writing? Pro-Barton a pun there. Yeah.

Yeah, wonderful. Fergie Timberlake. Really? Fergie from Black Opies? Fergie from the Black Opies liked her lady lumps. He showed her his sexy back etc

Mila Kunis and Macaulay Culkin did you know that one? yeah I did know that one yeah that was a few years ago but I didn't know they were together he wasn't home alone

during that period of his life am I right? can I just quickly say Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher they're obviously married and have two kids now but they met on the set

of that 70s show and I think Ashton Kutcher was Mila Kunis' first kiss. And then they went their separate ways and then got married again. And everyone was like, oh my gosh, how cute that that was their first kiss. Surprise us with your relationship.

What have you got? 0800 THE HITS. You can text 24487. Yeah, get us on next. We'll do that in a few moments on The Hits. Two dads just trying to fill some airtime. Some might say it's pointless, but the main thing is it fills in some airtime for us. That is the main thing.

Oh yeah Like a business deal Yeah, pretty much It was our second date And we looked at each other It was like, do you want to make this official? And he took out his hand and I shook it Like some sort of deal at APEC or something like that.

That's so good. Yeah, like, yep, all right. And have you kissed since or you just seal every deal with a handshake? You know, everything official we have to shake on. Yeah, that's good. Moving in together, we shook on that. If he ever proposes, it'll be a handshake.

You're like, the handshake. Handshake. Yeah, you've got the handshake. It's good. You've got to sanitise your hands afterwards, though. Yeah, not in the COVID world.

Ruby's on 0800. How are you, Rubes? Good. How are you? Good.? Good. How are you? Good. What happened, mate? Oh, so I was at my wedding, my wedding. Your wedding.

You were getting married, yeah. Halfway through my ceremony and my now husband is doing his vows. And it was amazing. Everything was going perfectly. Halfway through, my nose started passing out blood. Oh, really? All of my dress and everything. On your white dress?

All of my white dress. Our priest had to stop the ceremony, and I had to go out and clean myself up a wee bit. I got changed, ended up getting changed out of my dress into my outfit I was going to wear for my after party.

I just got into that for the ceremony. Oh, so your dress, it would have looked like a bloody massacre. Absolutely that. It looked, honestly,

you look back on the photos and we can laugh about it now, but at the time I was horrified. Oh, you would be. You'd feel like, yeah, so what, so midway through, you weren't

officially married? Not quite. So it wasn't too late for him to pull out? No. Did you ever think in the back of your mind, like, is this a sign that things, you know, like... I got home, you know, we talked about it later that night, and I was like, honestly, if

anything was a sign, it's probably that. And I still went through with it, and now we are very happy and happy again. Was it just a natural nosebleed? Do you suffer from them? Did you get a knock? We think it was probably stress. I used to get nosebleeds a lot during school when I was very stressed, and I hadn't had one for about 10 years.

Oh, what a great time for it to come back. Exactly. That was exactly my thought. about 10 years. Oh, what a great time for it to come back. Exactly, that was exactly my thought. Are you kidding? Oh mate. So what do you do with it? Does it come out for the dress? Do you wash it? Do you just give up on it? What happens? I just gave up in the end, honestly. I washed it, got it

dry cleaned, washed it a couple of times but it's never going to be perfectially white again. Did you try the old Oxy action? Oh, I'll give that one a go. Yeah, give Nappy Saddle Oxy. See that on the ads. Yeah, I don't know. I haven't had many blood incidents

that I've had to get blood out of my clothing. I'd be a bit concerned if I had. Yeah, no, it was traumatising. Yeah, well, hey, memorable though. Anyway, if anything, look at the silver lining.

You can phone up breakfast radio shows now. Yeah, it's a win. It's a win. It's a win. Thank you so much for sharing that with us. Thank you, guys. And thank you to all the calls and texts we just got through. We got Chris Parker, the winner of Celebrity Treasure Island,

joining us very shortly. And your chance to win $5,000 at 7.45 with five words for 5K. And if you want today's words, head to the Hits Breakfast on Instagram and Facebook for a wee bit of a clue. Mmm, coffee breath. Jono and Ben, the Hits. It is the Hits Breakfast on Instagram and Facebook for a wee bit of a clue. Mmm, coffee breath. Jono and Ben, the Hits. It is the Hits. Jono and Ben with you on a Thursday morning

at 7.28 and the Prime Minister yesterday hinted that unvaccinated Aucklanders might be unable to leave the city for Christmas to get to other parts of the country if we don't get to 90% as well and also if you're not vaccinated you might not be able to leave over summer. Who's policing that?

The thing, they're going to have checkpoints. Oh, no, so they're going to block off Auckland. So every car that leaves Auckland, they're going to be checking. Well, yeah, because Chris Hipkins also said yesterday they're looking into, they're considering the option that Aucklanders will have allocated time slots to leave the region so they can check people and there's not going to be queues.

Oh, I see. That's one of the options they're looking into. Jesus. North Korea's looking quite nice at the moment. There's affordable property over there. Christ. Is that what they're going to do? Well, that's an option.

I hate it's an option. But it's better than locking us all here who are vaccinated. Yeah, bed boys, you've got 12 minutes to get out of the city. Pack your bags. I don't know about that. You've got to go. This is your time. Take it or leave it, buddy. We're actually trapped here for the city. Pack your bags. I don't know about that. You've got to go. This is your time.

Take it or leave it, buddy. We're actually trapped here for the remainder of history. Yeah. So it'll be very interesting to see how things progress over the next few months. Hey, we've got Chris Parker. He was the winner of Celebrity Treasure Island last night. By the way, he's allowed out between 10.45 and 11.15. Yeah, but he was trapped on an island for 27 days. We're going to talk to him next. That was a really

really emotional moment and we're going to share that with him next on The Hits. It's Suns and Zion. It is The Hits. Jono and Ben, 7.32. Last night was the final of Celebrity Treasure Island and it was taken out by comedian Chris Parker. We used to work with Chris for many years on our TV show, Jono and Ben. He's an amazing guy and it was taken out by comedian chris parker we used to work with chris for many years on our tv show jonathan ben he's an amazing guy and it was so awesome to see his journey

it's quite emotional i was emotional watching him win because it meant so much for him last night a hundred thousand dollars he won for his charity rambo youth oh wait what's that i hear the shovel go it's yours. You got it. Chris, congratulations. You've just won Celebrity Treasure Island. It's so good. It's so good. It's all I wanted. It was a very emotional piece of television last night, wasn't it? And not only is the big prize $100,000 for Rainbow Youth, but also you get to jump off Treasure Island, get up early in the morning and talk to us on the radio, because here he is.

Here he bloody is. The winner of 2021 Celebrity Treasure Island. Come on down, Chris Parker. Here I come. Congratulations. It's so awesome. Isn't that crazy? Can't believe it. Here I come. Congratulations. This is so awesome. Isn't that crazy? I can't believe it.

I can't believe you. We've interviewed you a couple of times through this whole journey, Chris Parker, and not once did he drop any hints. No. It must have been hard to keep a secret. Oh, my gosh. It almost feels like it didn't happen now because I went through this crazy experience, kind of life-changing school camp on crack. And then suddenly I was a changed man. And then before I knew it, I was back in Auckland,

camping it up down Ponsonby Road. No one knew anything. And I just sort of almost blacked the whole thing out. Were you allowed to tell anyone at all? I mean, how does that work? I think they're like, we'll sue your ass if you spoil this for us. So I kept my lips zipped. I definitely told my partner because I just had to tell someone.

So my fiance, Michael, but he didn't tell anyone. And then I may have let it slip to Brinley because she was at home waiting for me and wanted to know everything. And then Brinley being a loose-lipped idiot told my younger sister. We were in the car and Brinley was like, gosh,pped idiot told my younger sister. We were in the car and Brinley was like, gosh, I can't believe you. One celebrity from your island. And my sister was in the back and my sister goes, what? And immediately starts crying.

Never leave a secret with Brinley. This has all been recorded evidence for Warner Television. I'll be waiting for the lawyer's papers. So did you tell your parents before the final? I told them when I... Oh, no, I... Hang on, we're recording this.

Because now there's a trail of about half a dozen people. Listen, it was a big thing that happened. You've got to tell us. You think otherwise. It's not action. Because your parents know, but you have a special relationship with Ben's father, Kevin. He was your teacher.

Yes. Yes, he taught me when I was 12 years old. Drove me around in his fast red sports car and kind of heckled, abused us while we played tennis, if I remember. He was a tennis coach for Chris as well, I think. And he slid you from the sidelines. He had some strong buck-sheltered energy, actually. Yeah. Because Kevin, now, I can't help...

He's very proud of Chris. Probably more so than me. He's like, oh, I see Chris Parker's in the show. Brilliant, you know? Like, I feel like, yeah, he'd be watching. He'd probably be more invested in Celebrity Treasure Island than your own parents. It was only...

He set the foundation. It was that tennis swing that really got me through in the end. I mean, you were so passionate too, and are passionate about Rainbow Youth, who was your charity. They must be pumped. Yeah, they're so thrilled. I really, like, I love the work that they do.

They do it, like, you know, across the board. They have these drop-in centres around New Zealand where, you know, young queer youth can go in, and they've got, like, say, clothes there that, like, maybe an individual wants to go in and try a dress on for the first time. Like, Rainbow Youth make that a really comfortable experience for them. They help families, supporting families with, you know,

queer family members and teaching them how to be as supportive and embracing as possible. They work in schools and they, for government to try and, you know, create a better future for our queer rangatahi in Aotearoa. So, like, it was kind of a no-brainer for me. And the money that is going to that charity is going to make a huge difference. I mean, all the money at the moment

is going towards COVID relief. We're in the middle of a pandemic. It's really tough. So that means that a lot of these charities, they do it a bit tough, you know, because the immediate kind of response needs to go towards the pandemic. So it's amazing that I can actually give some love back to Rainbow Youth at this point.

It's huge. Oh, that's awesome. That's really, really cool. You've been a wonderful spokesperson for them all the way through as well, Chris. I appreciate it. Two things before you go. Two things we loved about Celebrity Treasure Island was one, when they had Buck Shelford's name and they would sort of like link it

into the next person's name and it would always sound like they were swearing. Have a listen. Buck and Edna. Buck and Candy. And I think they'll pick Buck and Candy. Buck and Candy, right? Buck and anyone just sounds like a... Yeah, it was really cool.

That was one thing we loved. And the other thing, which you could probably talk a lot about, it was there seemed to be a lot of sort of innuendo in some of the challenges. Chris and Lance, they've got their balls out now and they're working on that slide. Yeah. I'll tell you what, we haven't been glancing balls

never in, you know. Yeah, they're always out. Did you sleep? Like, did you get to sleep? Like, it would have been hard sleeping in that environment, wouldn't it? Or were you just really tired? So tired.

You know, like, in all honesty, like, after, you know, because I was there to have a bit of fun and try to make some good TV, but I also did want to win it. And so I did take it really seriously. And, like, I remember honesty, like, after, you know, because I was there to have a bit of fun and try to make some good TV. But I also did want to win it. And so I did take it really seriously. And, like, I remember the night we got home. You know, because basically we shot the final episode, did our bits and bobs, got in the car, drove back to a motel to stay the night. And I got in the shower and just, like, collapsed.

Like, I was, like, crying on the floor, just a wreck. And it was that moment of finally taking a breath and letting go after about a month because you're just on high alert the whole time you've got a microphone on you like you know you go through all the stuff you never thought you'd go through but i highly recommend it if anyone gets the experience to do it like it's just it's unbelievable it absolutely changed me oh that's awesome and you know you've really sold it if i end up collapsing in the shower crying, that sounds like the experience for me. You'll never appreciate Tom Holland as much as you will. I collapse in the shower crying most days after the radio show.

So, you know, it's similar. I know. Well done, Chris. So very proud of you, mate. And thanks to you guys. You know, you really did give me my start. And it's like it doesn't, you know, it's not lost on me how grateful I am to you two

for, I don't know, just giving me that chance back in the day and I've been able to build off that and, you know, take out Art Green in a competition and raise this money for Rainbow Youth, but you guys have always been so generous and kind and have always sort of built up these younger performers and I'm just so grateful to both of you

as well. Oh, thank you, Chris. Listen, we only got you young talented people into Smokescreen Us, so we used you just as much. And then they become too good like Chris and they supersede anything that we could ever do. I love your work, Chris, and really proud, mate. Shout out. Thank you. It's Chris Parker, the winner of Celebrity Treasure Island.

Such an amazing moment. So stoked for Chris. Next, your chance to win $5,000 with our game Five Words for 5K. Five Words for 5K on the hits. You're only five words away from a massive payday.

No, I try to just clip them. My mum had to put that stuff on, Kat. Do you see people put that stuff on kids when you bite them and it's like some sort of acid or nuclear acid that rocks them? Oh, I didn't know about this. Yeah, it's like if you bite your nails, it's like some sort of acid or nuclear acid that rocks them. Oh, I didn't know about this. Yeah, it's like if you bite your nails, it's meant to put you off, isn't it, Kat?

Yeah. Oh, my mum used to make one of those plastic sort of things that the dogs would wear. Around the neck. Around the neck, yeah. Yeah, that's what she said we needed to do.

There we go. I got you. All right, she's gone to the soundproof booth. That means Jono. What people don't appreciate, though, is the logistics. Do they have to spend? You tell them. Jono, you're now stepping in the seat where it pushes the buttons,

so anything could go wrong. And will. Yeah, so I'll just play random stuff like that. So this is all on you, Kat, OK? If I mess up pushing buttons, we're going to pin that on you, but let's get into it. All right, Kat, the first word this morning, what pops into your head when I say police?

Why don't we lock in all of them? That'd be nice, wouldn't it? Lock it in. That'd be nice, but I don't think the rules, the T's and C's don't we lock in all of them? That would be nice, wouldn't it? Lock it in. That would be nice, but I don't think the rules, the T's and C's don't allow me to do that, unfortunately. What word would you like to lock in? Let's go island, Cook Island. Cook Island.

Yeah. What would you have gone there, Ben? Just out of interest. Probably Cook straight first popped into my head, but then also Mount Cook as well, just to confuse things. Oh, gosh. But I don't know. It's not up to... You know, Gordon Ramsay Mount Cook as well, just to confuse things. Oh, gosh. But I don't know. You know, Gordon Ramsay. Yeah, you had to go down that road.

It's a wide word, but you're going to stick with Cook Island? Cook Book? Cook the Books? Which means this. Oh, there's too many. Lock in Cook Island, alright? Well done. Well done. You could say, Kat, you nailed it. It's her profession.

She's a nail technician. If you remember that from back there, back before. The only person who appreciated that was Kat. We laughed out of politeness. It was a pity laugh. Hey, Juliet, Kat did well. Did she? Yeah.

Okay. So good luck. You have merged from the soundproof booth. Yes. Here we go. All right. First word we said to Kat was police You have merged from the soundproof booth. Yes. Here we go. All right. First word we said to Kat was police. What do you say, producer Juliet?

Police. Force. Police? Force. Is that? Oh, jeez. No. I can tell by Ben's laugh.

There you go. There you go. Oh, damn it. Oh, that's so annoying. Police car was what we did. But police is one of those ones that had plenty of options. You got options. I'm sorry, Kat.

It didn't quite work out this morning. Can we go through the rest? What were the rest of Julie's options? Yeah, here we go. Tricycle. Bike. Well done. Glow.

Ooh, stick. Yes, well done. Picture. Book. Ooh, frame. We went on that one. Sorry. I'm pushing the buttons. I'm getting flushed. I'm went on that one. Sorry. Got to push in the buttons.

I'm getting flustered. I'm in a flap here. Sorry. Cook was the final word this morning. Captain. Oh, not one. We didn't even mention that one, did we? I'm so confused.

No, she did Cook Island. Oh, damn it. Oh, sorry, Kat. There were many options for all those words. I can see why. I can see why producer Humphries did that. I'm sorry, Kat. There were many options for all those words. I can see why. I can see why producer Humphries did that. Oh, I'm sorry, Kat. That's all good.

Thank you, guys. Have a good day. You too. Have a great day. Another chance to play tomorrow. Same time, same place. We've got some spy coming up. Yes, someone who was meant to go to space instead of William Shatner.

A big dog. I'll tell you who it is next. Spy. The What's Up Spy.co.nz. All right, we call her the funeral director, getting ready to bury some celebrity careers. Juliette, what's happening in Spy? So Jimmy Kimmel had Tom Hanks on his show quite recently,

and we learnt that Tom Hanks was actually first picked from Jeff Bezos to go to space with him, or to go to space, instead of William Shatner. And the reason why Tom Hanks turned this down is... Is it true that you were asked to go to space by Jeff Bezos before William Shatner? Well, yeah, provided I pay. And it cost like $28 million or something like that. I'm doing good, Jimmy. I'm doing good.

But I ain't paying 28 bucks. You know what? We could simulate the experience of going to space right now. I don't need to spend 28 million bucks to do that. You're not going to do that. I can do that. Even if it was free, you wouldn't do that. No, I'd do it on occasion just in order to experience the joy. 28 million dollars.

Wow. He's going to wait for the grab a seat deal yeah which would be a little more affordable who would you take to space okay you can pick you can pick one person to take to space oh well you can pick a couple I would go to either our Johnson I was gonna say like David Attenborough yeah I was gonna say my wife and kids. Oh, good on you. You can do that. It was one of those stitch-ups. I was trying to throw Ben under the bus and picking Dwayne the Rogue Johnson.

And he undercut me. Didn't play along. It would have been quite cool to see Tom Hanks go to space, though. He's just someone that is just so cool. And him going to space, it would just be a really awesome start. He'd be a great first option for space, Tom Hanks. How does Shatner feel now that he was second off the bench? I don't know.

He's like, he still had to pay the $28 million. Well, yeah, did he have to pay for that? Probably. That would be an interesting question. Yeah, I would imagine so. Interesting thing, go, hey, you want to come into space with me? He'd be like, yeah, yeah, yeah, great. It's just $28 million.

Oh, my goodness. Can't do that. Then he was in that awkward stage where he had said yes. Someone says, you want to come to a wedding? Yeah, great. Oh, it's going to be in, you know, Queenstown. Oh, okay. Oh, it's going to be in, you know, Queenstown. Oh, okay. Damn, yeah.

And Alec Baldwin has shared a big, big new post about the accidental shooting on the set of the movie Rust. Now, there were some rumours going around that there was a lack of safety from the crew on set and that the producers didn't really care about the rest of the crew and it wasn't really, they weren't vigilant. Is that the right word? We spoke to the lady from the LA Times.

She just said it was being filmed in such a rush, 21 days for an entire series. But basically Alec Baldwin reposted a message from someone else who worked on the set. The whole message is quite long, so if you want to check it out, it's on his Instagram. But in short, this post kind of denied claims that the crew was surrounded by unsafe, chaotic conditions. The reports were absolutely bullcrap. The producers were the most caring, most diligent people to work with.

They always spent all their money to make sure all the cast and crew were looked after and that everyone was okay. Yeah, I read this as well. They were saying that the camera crew were upset about their hotels being too far away. And they were like, no, they were upset. This is what this person claimed, that the hotels weren't flash enough, things like that. Yeah, yeah.

So just kind of going against some of the things we may have read over the last four weeks. The mini Pringles were too expensive. Things like that. So there you go. That's good to know, isn't it? Is that from Balik Aldwin, the camera operator? Just want to write this randomly.

But one of the interesting things I did read in this post, so this woman who originally wrote this long post asked why the producers haven't fronted the media yet to kind of prove these rumours wrong, but their priority is making sure that Helena's family are okay, that they have time to grieve and recover, and that there's always time to front the media later. But the priority is on the cast and crew, Helena's family,

and dealing with that privately before coming publicly. Plus there's an ongoing police investigation too. They probably can't say too much at the moment. Yeah, but it is worth a read. So head to Alec Baldwin's Instagram for that. And that is your Spy Update for this hour. For more, you can head to the hits.co.nz. After 8 o'clock on the show, we'll tell you how you can get free fish and chips today

somewhere in the country, and it is Diwali. So we're talking to Ganesh Raj on the show. We'll tell you how you can get free fish and chips today somewhere in the country and it is Diwali so we're talking to Ganesh Raj about the story behind Diwali and also something that you can make today that sounds delicious. It is the hits you got John on Ben. This is a song to find. We give ourselves one song to

find someone on 0800 the hits that can phone through with the scenario that we each chuck out there. I don't know why we put the pressure on ourselves like this, but we do. Yeah, it's a ridiculous scenario. Last week, we'll just recap on previously on a song to find. Ben Bush, you threw this out there. What are you going to lead with today? Oh, really, a cool story I read yesterday.

A Christchurch couple, they've made national news after their baby boy was born in the New World supermarket car park. So that's what I gave myself a song to find. Anyone that was born in a supermarket car park. Jono, you threw out this last week. Okay, now I'm going to chuck out the Queen. There's been a lot of talk lately, a lot of Queen shaming lately about Her Majesty.

I'm looking for a listener older than the Queen. So that was last week. Older than 95. Yeah. I got a win last week with not just someone that was born in the car park, with the actual lady, Mel from Christchurch, who had her son Elliot born in the New World car park last week. She phoned through.

Sat down on the couch and all of a sudden sort of felt this snap in my tummy. And then my waters just went everywhere. In the car, just all of a sudden i was like i need to push and he and he was like okay i'm pulling over and pulled into the new world which was right there and yelled out the window somebody call an ambulance yeah and uh the car parked in the car park was the home of the birth still in the valet that vehicle we understand uh but the baby and uh family and so many calls about people being born and giving Parked in the car park was the home of the birth. Still in the valet, that vehicle, we understand. But the baby and family.

And so many calls about people being born and giving birth in car parks. There was another supermarket one. There was one in the car park of a cafe in the hospital car park. And this lady who was giving birth in the hospital car park had a busload of retirees who were out for the day watching her through the window and talking to her as she was giving birth. Going this your first baby so can you not now while we're doing this but anyway today's scenario we're going to give ourselves one song to find what are you going to throw out there i don't know what you're going to throw out there i'm going to throw out there today

is there anyone listening that's older than the queen i'll put you that last way i call it laziness call it persistence call it consistent i don't know whatever you want to call it but we didn't have any calls last week. Yeah, I mean, anyone who's listening to the Nolan, come on, New Zealand. There must be someone. There must be someone. I don't know what our listenership is with the older 90s,

over 90s demographic. 95 you need to go over, too. Yeah, pushing another five from 92. Yeah, all right. You're going to throw it down. You're going to double down on this. Yeah, and if I don't get one this week, I'll come back next week with exactly the same question

until this madness ends. Okay. What are you throwing out there? Well, it's, you know, Halloween just ended last weekend, and I even, you know, I put the decorations away from Halloween, and I saw the Christmas decorations, and I was like, is this too soon? Is it?

You know, like, should I put up a Christmas tree? But it feels very too soon because it's November. So I thought, oh, 800 the hits. Has anyone got the Christmas tree up already? Have they gone early and just called it in to 2021 and put up the tree? You always opt for a real one, though, don't you? I have. I'm mixed it up.

I'm unpredictable. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. So you've got an artificial one that you can whip up in this? Yes, I have in this scenario. So I thought about it. I thought about putting up the Christmas tree. So have you got one up on 800 of the Hits? But now what he's doing here is he's low-balling it.

Because of course there's going to be people... Yeah, I know, that's what I was thinking. But it's not him, though. I'm not doing this on the 24th of December. Yeah, I'm high risk, high reward, baby. Over 95. Like, wrap your hands away off the Werther's Original and call me. Maybe over 95, you're on Instagram, slide into my DMs.

Okay, but hang on, there's four of us here. Has any one of the four of us got a Christmas tree up? No, I don't, but I could. I could go home and put one up. You could, but you haven't. Yes, I do. Okay. I'm lower than you, yes, but I'm not super low-balling.

I see his play, I see his tactics here. That's good. Okay, I'll wait under the hits. Give us a call if you've got a Christmas tree up or you're over 95 and listening to this show. Let's get your calls on next for a song to find. It is Ed Sheeran, Bad Habits. You're on The Hits, Jono and Ben.

20 past eight, we gave ourselves a song to find to reach through our scenario and wanted to see if anyone on 0800 The Hits could call through. Mine was, has anyone got a Christmas tree up at the moment? It is early November. And yours, Jono, you really threw it out there. Sure for the stars. Is anyone listening to this show that's over the age of the Queen,

so over 95 years old? You may be retired, but you're not too tired to call because I've had a win. Yeah. We've got someone at age 103. I know. 103 coincidentally also named Lizzie after the Queen. Lizzie, are you there?

Yeah. You're our oldest listener. Am I? You're our oldest listener. Am I? You are. Well, apparently. It's Jono and Ben here from the Hits radio station.

Yeah, I know. You're our oldest listener. Unless anyone can beat 103. Yeah, yeah. We You're our oldest listener. Unless anyone can beat 103. Yeah, yeah. We understand it's your birthday today. Yesterday. Yesterday? What did you do for your birthday? Oh, well,

I'm with, is this radio now? Yeah. Well, Julie, one of the helpers, she arranged it. She arranged the party. But obviously you'd have to be a smaller party because you can't unfortunately have too many people at the moment. Oh, yeah, that's right.

I only had five people, yeah. So we kept our distance. But, oh, she put a beautiful spread on for me. Oh. Did you have a cake with 103 candles on it? No, no. She's in that room. Yeah.

You need quite the lung capacity there too, Lizzie, wouldn't you, to blow them out? I would have blown myself out. So what have you, well, this is a person, lovely to meet you. Tell us about your life. I mean, 103 years. I mean, what are some of the things you've seen, you've lived through? I mean, it's incredible. Oh, well, I've been through the war in London.

I was a fire watcher there, yeah, yeah. What does a fire watcher do? Well, I had to be out in the middle of the night because the incendiary bombs dropped little things on roofs of houses. Yeah. And they would start a fire. Oh, the planes would. So I had a tin hat and that.

And you'd go along up and down the road if there was an air raid on. Yeah, right. So you did that during the war. When did you come to New Zealand? Oh, in 1946. Wow. Oh, in 1946. Wow. Oh, my gosh. I came over in the boat with a three-month-old baby.

Really? And he's now 76. Oh, that little baby's now 76. How long was the boat trip back then? It must have taken like a year. About five weeks. Wow. My husband put in for a job over here. Yeah?

What did he do? He was a furniture maker. Oh, right. Made furniture. Very good at it, yeah. Oh, well, listen. Now, I'm just looking. Are you the oldest woman in New Zealand?

I'm not, am I? No, no. There's a bloody 109-year-old up north, mate. How are you? Health-wise, you feeling good? You know, you might get to I? No, no. There's a bloody 109-year-old up north, mate. How are you? Health-wise, you feeling good? You know, you might get to 110? Oh, yeah. Well, at the moment, I go around with my walker.

If I want to go to the toilet or whatever, I have to have my walker. Walker to go everywhere. You sound... I have to do the same for Ben when he wants to go to the toilets. Yeah. Only sometimes I don't get there in time. Walker to go everywhere. You sound... I have to do the same for Ben when he wants to go to the toilets. Yeah. Only sometimes I don't get there in time. Same with Ben.

That's what happens to me. Oh, you sound wonderful. Just so much fun. You would have been through a pandemic before? Have I? Have I? You would have been through a pandemic before? Yeah, like we're having a pandemic now with COVID. Have you been through anything like this before? Have I? Have I? You would have been through a pandemic before? Yeah, like we're having a pandemic now with COVID. Have you been through

anything like this before? It's so different from going through the war. You know, you go out at night and you take a talk you don't show lights and all that sort of thing. You know, my cousin had a dance hall

so we used to go out in the dark. Yeah, right. It used to be the dance hall, yeah. Well, you know, when you talk about you having to go out in a tin hat and look for bombs falling from planes onto roofs that were catching fire, it really puts me having to sit in my lounge watching my flat screen TV in lockdown in perspective. It does, it does.

You're 103 and you sound more on to it than me and I'm 39. Oh, well, wait till next year when I'm 104. Yeah, you wait. You wait. It gets better with age. She keeps getting better with age, Lizzy. Fine wine. Hey, Lizzy, thank you so much for listening. So lovely to talk to you.

Oh, is this going to be on radio? You're on, baby. You're on. Oh, yeah, from my son. My son lives in Otago. Oh, yeah. Do a shout-out, Liz. Eh? Do a shout-out to him. Hello, John.

Oh, you don't actually have to shout. That's probably fair enough. Lizzie, you're awesome. Thank you so much for talking to us. Okay. Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner that I love London town. That I love London town. Here she goes. Keep going

Lizzie. Keep going. She's 103 mate. That's enough. Lizzie you're awesome. Thank you so much for your time. Take care. Okay dear. Okay. Thank you. Bye. Bye bye. There we go. How amazing is she Lizzie. Our oldest listener. She

claims maybe someone older that hasn't phoned up, but 103 years old. How awesome. It is the Hits. You've got Jono and Ben. Hard-hitting interviews and informed opinion. Mike Hosking on Newstalk ZB. In the meantime, here's Jono and Ben.

The Hits. You're on the Hits. Jono and Ben. Of course, a lot of talk about vaccination at the moment and the Prime Minister going around the country trying to get more people vaccinated. Get to that 90%. Yeah, and yesterday she was in Whanganui,

and she was meant to visit a vaccination centre, I think, just to show face, you know, jab some needles in necks, et cetera, et cetera. And outside there were protesters. And I was watching these protesters on the live stream, and I was like, oh, they're clearly there anti-vaccination or anti-lockdown. Right. Which has been the general theme of protests. Yeah, there's been a bit of that going on.

There were a few hecklers yelling stuff at Justin Bieber. Yeah, prime, prime sinister, which I thought was not a bad one at all. What are we saying? Yeah, prime, prime sinister. Okay. Yeah, but these people, they had a lot of messages that they were trying to get out there. And I felt for a protest, you that they were trying to get out there.

And I felt for a protest, you just want to stick to one key message, wouldn't you? Wouldn't you imagine if you're protesting? Probably. One, two max. Right. Two max. But it felt like everyone in Whanganui who wanted to protest came down to this protest and they were all just firing off their own agendas. Have a listen to this.

Shame on you! Ongi and Ongi, stop the bell! Have a listen to this. Jacinda, you are on notice for crimes against humanity. Shame on you. Leave our children alone. Lisa, she's saying leave our children alone. I don't know what Jacinda's done to the children. There's another lady saying, oh, it's not for sale.

There was another guy came in halfway through the shot too. He's holding up a climate change sign. And then the shame on you lady's knocking his sign away because she doesn't want him getting any coverage. She's got her own agenda to get across. There's about four or five protests going on in the same protest. A lot going on. I can see why she cancelled her appearance there. She'd be like, I don't know where to start

with you guys. What are your issues? We'll have you go one by one. Line up in an accordion line. It's over then Jessica was bad for answering questions. Hey, it is Diwali today. We want to find out some more about it and teach you guys something not only about Diwali but also

a recipe that you can make. We've got Ganesh Raj from Eat Well for Less joining us very shortly. It is the hits. Imagine Dragons, Demons, it is the hits. You've got Jono and Ben. Today is the first day of Diwali, the Hindu festival celebrated by millions around the world and we wanted to know a bit more about it this

morning. Yeah, we've got a friend of the show from eat well for less ganesh raj good morning lovely to hear from you uh you know our bosses always love it when we get ganesh on they're like more ganesh yeah less jono and ben thing is uh the problem is we don't have any money to pay for more ganesh yeah so he comes out of the generosity of his heart it's all good bro it's all good it's all. It's all happening. It's all happening. Well, we were talking this morning about Diwali, celebrated this year on November 4th, which is today, and it

continues for five days. Yeah, exactly. Diwali is one of those things that Hindus constantly love because it's a festival of lights. It's amazing food. Families come together. Everybody celebrates. But of course, this year, we're trying to celebrate in our bubbles, right? Yeah.

Food! I know. I know. But, you know, that's why I was thinking like, look, you know, here's a little recipe. Like, I dropped a little recipe for you guys because I thought, you know, everybody loves a little samosa. But making that little samosa crust looks like, how do you make something triangle? Oh, right. I thought, you know what? I'm not going to tell you how because it's too damn complicated. Oh, thank you. We'll wrap it up there.

Thank you. Finish Raj. Instead, I'm going to tell you how to make the filling, which is really why you get into it. And then you just make any old pie that you want. Oh, so it doesn't have to be necessarily a triangle shape. I mean, even if you say it, doesn't it sound crazy? It does sound crazy. Yeah, I was thinking that. As the words were coming out of his mouth, I was like,

you look crazy. So you're just telling us how to make the intestines of the samosa. Yeah, and then you can make a little pie, you know, put some beautiful crust down on a pie dish that mum made or nana made and fill it up with this beautiful filling,

put it in the oven and have a samosa pie. Put the recipe on the Hits Breakfast Instagram. It looks very tasty. What other traditions take place on the day? I mean, people put up

decorations, what sort of food? I think you guys are going to like this. I'm going to give you the short version of the story of Diwali because do you guys

actually know what Diwali is? No, I don't, to be honest. I do see it. And I'm like, these people look like they're having the time of their life. I was reading last night, is it as important to Hindus as Christmas is to Christians? You know, like it's the celebration of what I understand, it's triumph over good over evil, right? Absolutely, absolutely. So here's how it goes, right?

Like once upon a time, once upon a time, there was a great warrior called Rama. So Rama is one of those Hindu gods that like sits at the top level. Like he's got top three position on any, like he can get into all the restaurants. He's the big dog. Yeah, 100%. Like what, club night? No problem.

And of course, as Rama should, he had the most beautiful wife in the world called Sita. But she was so beautiful that a terrible demon came called Ravana. Now, he's a baddie. He's obviously the dude from the other side of the tracks. He had 20 arms and 10 heads. Oh, he sounds nasty. He is. I mean, look, you don't need that many heads. I'm just saying. But he was feared. He was feared throughout the land, right? And he wanted to make Sita his wife.

There you go, brother. Right there was his problem. He wanted to take another man's wife. So one day he kidnapped her and took her in his chariot over the ocean to what we now call Sri Lanka or Ceylon. And then he hid her over there. So Rama was like, oh no, no I got to find my wife but guess what his wife did she dropped all her jewelry and left a little trail for him because they didn't obviously have you know they wouldn't have had find my iphone or anything don't find my iphone

this was like og breadcrumbs and then so Rama was like oh oh, look, it's the jewels. She must be going this way. So he followed it, and then, lo and behold, he met the monkey king Hanuman. Right. The monkey god who had basically ruled the world of monkeys. They became friends, and Hanuman found Sita imprisoned on the island. And so Rama and all his army of monkeys built a giant bridge across the ocean to Sri Lanka and they freed Sita and when Rama brought her home

the people lit lamps all throughout the streets and there was a triumph over good versus evil and that, my friends, is day one. The festival of light. What happened to 20 heads? 20 heads decided that he was more interested in another girl. Right.

He basically was like, yo, listen, Sita's too much trouble. I'm going to go for Juanita over here because, you know, she likes me. I like her and she's not married. She's got less baggage. Yeah, well, thank you so much. She's got less baggage and she's not married. You know know she's not married and we don't have to kidnap her thank you for telling us the story of that that's fascinating so what traditions take place is it celebrated differently in new zealand perhaps than it would be overseas or

is it much along the same lines it's much along the same okay i mean the same lines part i think is the one we'll focus on the same lines is i a massive feast, and it's open doors for people to come and go from like 12 noon to midnight. You're basically serving food, and then you make like a ton of delicious sweets that people come. Basically, it's just a glutfest, right? And you light lamb, glutfest, presents, wear cool outfits, and it's just a great opportunity to celebrate with family, with food, and I guess good versus evil is an idea, right? Everyone wants to support that.

Well, Ganesh Raj, thank you so much for telling us the story today, and we'll put up your recipe on the Hits Breakfast Instagram so people, if they want to make samosas, they sound delicious and they look delicious. And you sound and look delicious too, Ganesh. Thanks, bro.

I appreciate it. Happy Diwali to all your listeners and to you guys. You're on the Hits. Jono and Ben, if you're in Christchurch today, well, this is pretty cool.

The chips are not down in Christchurch today. They're in the deep fryer. I've always wondered, what's the difference between ketchup and tomato sauce? What would you say? Tomato sauce is probably a sweeter flavour. Ketchup's made with tomato, sugar, vinegar and spices whereas tomato sauce is made from tomatoes, oil, meat or vegetable stocks. There you go.

Heinz ketchup giving us fish and chip fried day and if you want to enter to win your town or city free fish and chips at lunchtime, you can go to the hits.co.nz.

Okay, it's a shop in Sydney. It's also the French word for a club or party where people dance to recorded pop music. Or mum's probably patched up our dads at one of these back in the day. Oh, like a disco. Fisco. Fisco? Fisco? Fisco tech. Fisco tech. like a disco. Fishco. Fishco? Fishco? Fishco Tech.

Fishco Tech. There we go. One done. It's a shop punned after what some enthusiastic birthday party attendees will start chanting at the end of the happy birthday song. Oh, Fishy's and Jolligan Fella. No, no, before that. But that's another great name for a shop.

Chip Chip Hooray. Yeah, well done. William Shatner could own and operate this fish and chip shop as Captain Kirk. Oh, so something to do with Star Trek? Uh, Star... Oh, oh, oh. Starfish Trek. Starfish Trek.
