This episode of the John Owen B broadcast proudly brought to you in association with Challenge Service Stations.
Challenge Service Stations, for when you want to challenge...
Don't try and come up with a slogan or a logo.
Slogan, that's a good one, I just invented a word there.
Okay, well if we were to come up with a slogan for Challenge Service Stations,
challenge yourself to put a better fuel.
To find a better service station.
This episode of the China Unbeaten Podcast
brought to you in association with Challenge Service Stations.
Our slogan is we challenge you to find a better service station challenge.
That's a good one.
That's a good one.
You used to be a copywriter and write commercials so I see
you're good at the
wit.
Whenever we have to
read a commercial
you're like that's not
going to fit in 30
seconds.
That's just one
superpower.
But it's not a
superpower for me.
No we're not going to
get that in 30 seconds.
That's a 60.
That's going to take
60 seconds.
I notice it takes
two seconds of a look
at a script and you're
like it's not happening in 30 seconds.
It's one of those,
yeah,
I did write some ads for many years.
Novus,
Show Us Your Crack was an ad that,
it's probably the only one
that's still around at the moment.
But yeah,
it was,
it will serve me no purpose in life
other than those moments
in the radio industry.
Yeah.
And they're like,
we don't care,
try and fit it into 30 seconds.
You're never going to go,
you know,
someone's never going to,
something's going to happen on a plane. Oh my God, we need to read this announcement in 30 seconds. You're never going to go, you know, something's going to happen on a plane,
oh my God, we need to read this announcement in 30 seconds.
You're not going to get that done in 30, mate.
Get the safety briefing in.
I'm going to tell you that right now.
Too much.
Can we skip over the seatbelt part?
Do we need to know how to put on a seatbelt?
You know, yes.
But it is a good power.
It's not a power at all.
It's specific.
It's specific, I'll give you that.
Something I picked up on doing that job for a few years.
Now, we need to call someone because it's the end of the year Spotify wrapped,
and a lot of people getting their listening habits sent to them
and then posting them on social media as well.
And we've just had a message from a gentleman that we spoke to this time last year.
He was on the podcast last Saturday, Producer Joel.
Yes, Aaron.
Was he on the podcast last Saturday? Yeah, we interviewed him for the podcast last Saturday. Yeah, great guy. Yeah, he was on the podcast last Saturday, Producer Joel. Yes, Aaron. Was he on the podcast last Saturday?
Yeah, we interviewed him for the podcast last Saturday.
Great guy. Yeah, he was on the podcast.
Was that scheduled, that podcast? Yeah.
Blenheim. Yeah, he was.
Sorry, I'm just giving Producer Joel some grief.
Sorry, John, I'll talk it all off you, mate.
I'm trying to fit it into 30 seconds, but
anyway. Hopefully Aaron is
we're going to go
through him because he texted and he had his update of how many minutes he's listened
to the podcast this year.
So we'll get the 2022 numbers.
Hello?
Azza, Jazza and Bazza from The Hits, mate.
Hey, how's it going?
Oh, we're good, buddy.
It was lovely to meet you last week.
Yeah, it was fantastic. Yeah, it was awesome to meet you last week. Yeah, it was fantastic.
Yeah, it was awesome to meet you.
And it's great that you actually listen to the podcast.
We're surprised and we're very thankful.
So thank you very much.
No worries.
It's a great show.
Now, we have your 2022 results.
They've just come to hand. Have we got like dramatic music producer Joel that we can have Aaron lead in with his listening statistics?
The analytics from 2022. Over to you
Aaron, how many minutes have you
listened to the Jono and Ben podcast
this year?
It was
It was
a massive
Do you need us to do another drumroll?
Yeah, I feel like it.
Oh sorry, I talked over you there.
Sorry, stop.
Hold on, Joel, you stop me.
Okay, sorry.
Start again.
Joel with the drum roll and you go, Aaron.
Here we go.
10,880 minutes.
10,880 minutes now.
Wow.
Are those numbers up or down on the year ending 2021
they're down but that's because you guys
made the show shorter
a great controversy
as you all know
producer Joel came in with this one
he's like we've got a new strategy to release shorter versions
of the podcast
I think I did it for one week
I think he was trying to minimise his work schedule
just to make it shorter.
The people want a shorter podcast.
First 10 minutes of the show, then that's it.
Three other people making the podcast this year.
So give me some message.
So Aaron, you want longer podcasts?
Well, at least, you know, 30 minutes onwards?
No, mate.
I want everything.
I'll chuck the music in there if you want, Aaron.
Do you know you've listened to us 7.5 days if you're listening
non-stop. It's over a week of listening
to us over the past year. So thank you very much.
I really appreciate it. Let's send
Aaron out something, alright? I'll get that to him.
Put that admin on. I'll produce a behemoth.
What is that something?
Chafing cream from the
chemist's warehouse? No, I don't think we can
I don't know. We've got a chemist's warehouse.
Are you suffering from chafing, Aaron?
Not at the moment.
Not at the moment?
Okay.
Well, how about some Hell Pizza?
We've got Hell Pizza.
I've got a lipo sachet.
Do you want some more lipo sachets?
Oh, mate.
He's like, I'll take the chafing cream.
Yeah, we'll send you out some Hell Pizza.
We appreciate you listening.
And thank you.
Oh, thank you for doing that.
And it was great to meet you, as Jono said.
Yeah, fantastic, lads.
The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
I was just reading Fire and Emergency New Zealand.
They've just released a cookbook,
and it's designed specifically for people who come home drunk or high.
It's called Your Cooked Book,
and basically all the recipes can be made with a kettle or a microwave,
air fryer, toaster, nothing to do with the oven or frying, anything like that,
because they don't want people to actually cause fires.
Because a lot of fires are actually caused, I think about half the kitchen fires.
Well, I mean, how many times have you come home and you're like,
jeez, I could eat 58 chicken nuggets.
You chuck all the frozen nuggies in the oven.
You fall asleep on the couch or something like that, yeah.
You're watching an infomercial at 12.30 in the morning. You fall asleep on the couch or something like that, yeah.
You're watching an infomercial at 12.30 in the morning.
Joe, producer Joe, you're laughing away.
It's like I did that last night.
Yeah, so that's your cooked book, actually. So to stop people from actually being literally cooks on fire.
Watch and win with Cooks on Fire on TVNZ1.
Yeah, that's right.
You chuck a couple of cheese sizzlers on the barbie.
You've got yourself a reality show nowadays.
Yeah, it's the battle of New Zealand's best barbecue teams.
And it's really heating up literally on the show and in the competition as well.
7.30, TVNZ1, every Thursday night.
And there's a special hits pop-up word that pops up during the show.
You call us back when you hear it.
The day after the show, you can win a $500 Silver Ferns Farms voucher.
Now, our dear friends, Nick and James,
made the show, didn't they?
They did, actually, yeah.
They helped us make a show called Good Sports.
Wonderful guys.
And then they moved on to a better show.
They moved on.
They're like, we're doing barbecues now.
We're like, what about Jono and Ben doing sports stuff?
They're like, nah, barbecues are the only way to go, boys.
All right.
Way more successful.
Hannah, you're on from Tauranga.
Hey.
How are you, mate?
Awesome.
Oh, real good.
Just having a coffee. Having a coffee, getting yourself jacked up for the day. Why are you up? from Tauranga. Hey. How are you, mate? Awesome. Oh, real good. Just having a coffee?
Having a coffee, getting yourself jacked up for the day.
Why are you up so early at 6.15?
Have you been working out?
What have you been doing?
No, the baby cried at 4.30 today.
Oh, so is that a back to sleep situation for you and the baby or not?
Yeah, it's pretty much lunchtime.
Yeah, yeah.
You're right, you're like producer B-Humps.
He comes, he's like, 32 minutes sleep last night.
I know.
You poor buggers.
Anyway, you'll get through it and then before you know it,
they're bloody vaping and ram rating, mate.
Oh, jeez.
Hey, what was the key word last night on Cooks on Fire?
It was loin.
It was loin.
Well done.
You've got a $500 Silver Ferns Farm voucher.
You can spend that on natural grass-fed beef, lamb, venison.
You name it.
You can have that.
You can have a safe fry-up while you're awake with the baby.
That's so good.
Love it, guys.
Awesome.
So helpful.
Thanks for listening.
Hannah, you're going to have a wonderful day in Tauranga, okay?
Thank you, you too.
Bye-bye.
The Hits, the Jono jonathan ben podcast only 23 more sleeps
of christmas the year has flown by and it's the time of year that we're gonna get your daily
countdown yeah mate i'm telling every day every day uh until we get uh well until we leave for
the holidays i won't commit to doing all the way to christmas for you i know even if we left before
christmas i want you to come in every day and go six days to go i'll text you i'll text you each
day uh but of course we're starting to starting to play Christmas songs on the radio,
which is great.
We're in December now.
We're getting into the Christmas spirit.
And Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas is one of the bangers.
From 1994, that song came out.
She was going to do a Christmas album.
She went into the studio.
It was going to be all covers, apparently.
And then she got so inspired, she decided to bang out.
In 15 minutes, she co-wrote
that song all i want for christmas an original song in 94 it was it was like it only went to 12th
not only but it got to 12th in the billboard charts and then 25 years later it got to number
one but the song has been around every christmas it's a huge song the 11th biggest selling single
of all time 60 million dollars in roy royalties. Oh, it must just
be a great payday for Mariah. 15
minutes of work ready to write it. Yeah, a little Christmas
bonus every year.
She was performing it live the other
day and there was a bit of a scandal. Yeah, there
was. And we spoke to Enti, our Hollywood
insider, about it. Mariah Carey
caught in a lip-sync scandal.
Lip-syncing all I want for Christmas is you.
Now, can I just say, I don't blame her.
I don't want to hear Mariah Carey sing a lackluster version of that song.
You know, she probably doesn't have the pipe she had 20 years ago.
Get out there, sink your lips, make it sound good.
Merry Christmas. Let's have a good one.
I don't know if it's a scandal.
I think everybody knew that Mariah was lip-syncing.
I think Mariah knew that everybody knew that she was lip-syncing.
And I don't think Mariah really cares that everybody knew that she was lip-syncing. I think Mariah knew that everybody knew that she was lip-syncing and I don't think Mariah really cares that everybody knew that she was lip-syncing. She almost got the
branded name the Queen of Christmas. She went to court to be called the Queen of Christmas,
didn't she? Yeah but she lost because somebody already had it. Thank goodness because you
shouldn't just be able to throw your money around and just say I want to be called the Queen of
Christmas. And the Queen of Christmas, I'm sure have a uh have a counterclaim on that one
but what is the best christmas song would you go all i want for christmas is you that's not a bit
it's up there it's up there yeah you know i i enjoy the song i think it is a bit overplayed
i do appreciate that mariah really gets into it and beginning november 1st everybody starts
singing it in america however i
think that there are other better christmas songs because after a while you've heard it so many times
you go let me just find something else there's some bangers yeah there's some christmas i go
back you know lately for some reason i like thea's song i like taylor swift's song even go back to
the original like nat king cole christmas song there's nothing wrong with Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas.
I just feel like it's played and played and played.
There's some bangers on there.
I mean, my daughter's playing Ariana Grande's one.
You said it's a good one?
Yeah.
The Boob, Get Your Boobs Out at Christmas Time.
Yeah, yeah.
Michael Bublé.
Bublé, yeah.
But it is a banger of a song.
And I don't care what NT says over there in Hollywood.
We love it here on The Hits.
So why not?
Let's bust it out. Let's get into the christmas spirit this is honestly
the fifth time i've heard it in two days it's a friday we're getting towards christmas it's
mariah on that i don't want a lot for christmas there is just one thing i need
the hits the jonah and ben podcast i was talking before about some terrifying stuff
being dropped from the skies in Melbourne.
So there was these pot plants with flowers and plants in them
being dropped from the sky right in the CBD,
and it was a cockatoo, a bird.
Thank you, Producer Joel, for the sound effect.
Yeah, in the CBD, the bird was,
they reckon it was just being playful,
but it was landing on trucks and almost missing people's heads.
Four of them.
It would like fly down, grab another one, drop it down,
grab another one, drop it down.
Apparently it kind of feels like in Australia, it's kind of like the care,
you know, the care is a little bit cheeky in New Zealand,
but in Australia they will often get into the wheelie bins.
Some residents have to put like bricks on top of the wheelie bins
to stop the cockatiels from lifting it up.
The cockatoos sound like a right menace.
They sound like a 21-year-old university student.
Now, how do they have the strength, though,
to lift up a pot plant?
That's pretty incredible.
They've been known to drop sticks in the past,
roofing materials as well.
They hang out on the ledges of buildings.
So these are not ones that are pets or anything like that.
They just fly around dropping pot plants from the sky.
Jeez, I tell you, one of your major fears
when we launched some chips into space was you had no sleep for three days.
You thought that our chips were going to come down and decapitate a young baby or something.
I swear they're going to end it up.
Fortunately, they had very well planned and there was a lot of countryside along.
Landed in a farm.
Yeah, Ashburn, Perth.
I couldn't work with Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos
and sending people to space.
I'd be so worried.
In your head, you were leading all the news on Al Jazeera,
some idiot New Zealander.
What'd you do?
Send some chips into space.
Rended an elderly lady unconscious
by knocking her out with a bag of chips.
You'd no be good, no good at space travel.
No, no, absolutely.
You'd be like, what if the spaceship
drops out of the sky, guys?
Yeah, that's right.
The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
Now, Spotify, you know, people love streaming music on that.
I've got Apple music on mine.
I haven't quite gotten to Spotify.
No, I'm the same as you.
It's huge.
It's massive.
It's the main one, right?
Once Apple got their claws into me, they've got their claws into you for life, don't they?
Such a pain in the ass to change.
I know. You tried it once. You tried to go over to Samsung, didn't you for life don't they such a pain in the ass to change i know
you tried it once you tried to go over to samsung didn't you you're not but then when people love it
they whatever way you start off with people seem to just love it and stick with it yeah it goes
with streaming services as well doesn't it with music and joel you're on spotify producer joel
isn't that the one where you can have free or premium and then you get interrupted with ads
if you got the free one yeah you pay an x amount a month i actually pay more a month than i would for apple i feel like just for this spotify
wrapped i love the day love seeing everyone so this is why at the end of the year basically
spotify sends you the biggest songs that you've been listening to and the artists you've been
listening to right yeah they do like a big slideshow of all the data i think it's from the
october to october and uh yeah it's all the data they've farmed off you over the 12-month period.
So you get to see, it's a bit of a surprise.
I'm sure, like you said yesterday, Rod Stewart crept into your top five.
Rod Stewart did, yeah.
Yeah, it was obviously a weird year for me.
Obviously a lot going on.
Yeah.
So Jacinda Ardern, Chris Luxon, obviously the leaders of the main two parties.
Now their Spotify raps have been released now to us.
Just to us.
Just to us.
We've got some inside intel from people.
Anyway, let's not say how we got it from the dark web.
Let's just say we've got this information.
We purchased it off an Albanian gang.
And we want to play some of it now.
Some of these songs may surprise you, what they're listening to.
Jacinda Ardern, Prime Minister.
Should we start with her?
Yeah.
Top of her playlist, Old Macdonald had a farm
because he might not have one next year.
Yeah, well,
the carbon emissions tax and stuff as well,
you know, so yeah, he had a farm but he didn't like the
carbon emissions tax. Also,
not surprisingly, this song, because
of the colour of her party.
Yeah, it's a good tune,
local song.
Cost of Living has got Jacinda Ardern playing this song a lot.
Mo' money, mo' problems.
Brooke Fraser, Something in the Water,
a lot of talk about Three Waters.
Bloody Three Waters, that's what she's saying.
Her whole music catalogue is based off topical events
going on in her life.
And finally, is it time for Jacinda to call it a day?
Well, she's listening to this one.
End of the road, maybe?
Question mark, question mark.
Chris Luxon, well, his favourite colour.
Well, what's that?
Eiffel 65?
Yeah.
Now, when does he holiday?
You know, he holidays...
He goes to Te Puke, doesn't he?
No, no, no, mate. He goes to Hawaii and pretends he's in Te Puke. That's why he likes Hawaii? You know, he holidays. He goes to Te Puke, doesn't he? No, no, no, mate.
He goes to Hawaii and pretends he's in Te Puke.
That's why he likes Hawaii Five-0, the theme.
If you vaguely remember that TV show.
Yeah, all that.
Or there was like an Elvis Hawaii song we could have used.
Yeah.
He wants to send all the Ram Raiders to the Seven Nations Army.
And Christopher Luxton, of course, in this election,
will be hoping for a bit of this.
Changes.
Oh, yeah.
It doesn't quite work when you don't get the hook of the song.
You need the 80-wit.
Changes.
And finally, the tax breaks for his rich mates
makes Christopher Luxon want to talk about.
Money talks. his rich mates makes Chris Philaxen want to talk about Muddy Talks some great songs
both their top five
Winston Peters
he had like
Return of the Mac
Bitches Back
yeah
basically
it's all coming back
to me now
I won't go away
and take me to your leader
as well
because you work
with any leader
oh my god
the songs we brainstorm
guys we could do this for
another two hours. And that is
the Political Party's Spotify
Rap. The Hits, the Jono
and Ben podcast. We want to know
on our 100 The Hits, who's having the best
weekend? We've got some Farmers Vouchers.
$50 Farmers Vouchers are for grabs.
You can do all your Christmas shopping at Farmers right
now. Now, Producer Behemoth, he's got a great weekend.
He's going along to Dottie, his daughter's daycare,
and guess what?
He's playing the role of Santa.
He's filling in for Santa.
That's lovely he's filling in.
Now, what concerned me was he's had a text from a mate going,
should we preload?
Oh, no.
You don't.
The last thing the kids need is a wobbly Santa.
Yeah, the conditions are not right for that, really.
Although Santa does it during his parcel deliveries.
That's what I always think.
A lot of people leave out, including our family,
you leave out stuff like that.
I'm implying the guy with whiskeys and beers.
I mean, the reindeer probably know what they're doing.
Yeah, he's not, really, he's not driving, is he?
He's got to navigate through chimneys and into houses and stuff.
He's like, no, he's on to the next one.
Yeah, what a great night for him.
It really would be a great night, wouldn't it?
One of the guys is so bloody retarded.
One night he just binges cookies and,
yo, just all the great food.
Love it.
All right, let's do the best weekend.
Nismo, you're on from Auckland.
How are you?
Yeah, pretty good, mate.
Great to have you on, Nismo.
This weekend, why is it going to be a good one for you?
I'm taking my kids to go-karting,
and then we're going to Coromandel for some charter fishing.
Oh, awesome.
How are you fitting that all into one weekend?
We're doing, on Saturday we're doing go-karting,
and then on Sunday we're doing fishing.
Right.
No, I guess there's two days of the weekend.
That's how he's feeling.
Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.
You can't actually do an activity per day, can you?
And Nismo, you've got one more activity to shove into your weekend.
You're going to go to Farmer's and spend this $100 voucher, okay?
That'd be great, mate.
Appreciate that, boys.
Yeah, good.
Now, sorry, producer, you're mouthing things at me.
It's $50.
Oh, it's $50. Hey, you know how I said $100? Halve boys. Yeah, good. Now, sorry, producer Behem, you're mouthing things at me, Woody. It's a $50 voucher. Oh, it's a $50.
Hey, you know how I said $100?
Halve it.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
The comms, I didn't pick up the memo.
Sorry, Nismo.
It's a $50 one.
You still have a great weekend.
See you, mate.
Kirstie.
Kirstie, welcome.
How are you?
Hello.
Hi.
Just so you know, it's not $100.
It's a $50.
It's a $50 voucher, right?
Are you going to hang up?
No, we'll take $50.
$50 is awesome.
What are you going to do this weekend, mate?
We're moving house, which has been a long process.
We've got two little kids, so they're busy taking things out of the boxes when we put
them in.
We're finally getting to the point where we can actually move.
Got everything in boxes, ready to roll tomorrow for the movers.
And then in the afternoon we've got
our hospice.
Hospice,
we're hanging on a cliff here. A hospice what?
We'll never know.
We'll never know.
Oh, you're back.
We lost you just when you said hospice.
She doesn't want to tell you this.
Yes, we're here. Hospice what? Are you there? said hospice? She doesn't want to tell you this. What?
Yes, we're here.
Hospice what?
Are you there?
I can hear you.
Yeah, we are.
A hospice.
A hospice?
Hospital.
Hospital.
Yeah, no, hospital work functions.
Our Christmas functions.
Our Christmas functions.
Oh, there we go.
We finally got there.
We're a $50 father's
voucher.
We're sorry we had some
phone issues there, but you enjoy. Have a great weekend. $50 father's voucher. We're sorry we had some phone issues there,
but you enjoy.
Have a great weekend.
Okay, thanks.
Good on you.
Now we'll take one more.
Tiana, you having a good weekend this weekend?
Why?
Because I am getting ready for my mum's very first visit to New Zealand.
She has never left Australia.
I have been here for 12 years,
and for my 30th birthday, she's flying all the way here.
Not once in 12 years has she come here.
She's terrified of flying, so it's taking her a lot
to actually get on the plane to come over.
Well, as soon as she gets off that plane, you go,
we're going straight to Farmer's Market.
We're spending $50.
Well, that's awesome that she's doing that.
It's really incredible, and I'm sure it'll be an amazing time when she's here. Yeah, that's awesome that she's doing that. It's really incredible,
and I'm sure it'll be an amazing time when she's here.
Yeah, it will be.
Thank you.
I'm so excited.
You give your love to your mum from us,
and she'll go, who?
Pretty much, she will.
She will.
You play this bit on the podcast,
and you go, look at what Jono and Ben said.
Good on you, Tiana.
Thanks for listening.
Have a great weekend.
You too. Bye, guys. The Hits, the Jono and Ben said. Hey, good on you, Tiana. Thanks for listening. Have a great weekend. You too.
Bye, guys.
The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
The last couple of weeks for the school term,
there's a lot going on in the school term.
Still, though, there's still kids going away on,
you know, your son was away on camp.
One of my daughters is going away on camp next week.
They're still packing a lot.
I thought this was movie time, you know, at school,
back in the day, you know?
Just slowly turn down that volume button.
But I don't think they are.
I think they're still cracking on.
Guys, should we stack the desks?
Oh, there's still another two weeks to go.
Oh, let's stack them anyway.
Yeah, I know what you're saying.
But it's funny when they return from camp.
Jeez, they are chewed up and spat out.
Aren't they?
Came back like a red beetroot, the poor little fella.
Bits of twigs hanging out of his hair.
Had a blast, though.
But on Sunday, I'm sure many are, the calendar,
getting the old calendar invites for the end-of-year assemblies.
You got a couple of those popping up? Yeah, I have got a couple of those popping up.
Some are all tens, others are all...
I'll send a video in.
Sorry I couldn't make it, guys.
You know that there was many downsides to COVID,
but the one positive was the end-of-year school assemblies
were all over Zoom.
Yeah.
And you could half be watching watching bloody, you know,
Tiger King or something and half be paying attention to the school assembly.
Oh good, our one's up.
Although my mum didn't quite grasp the concept day.
She had a conversation with my mother-in-law as well
over the top of the Zoom with everyone watching.
All 150 people.
Oh hey Joyce, how's it going?
Oh, we should catch up soon.
Had to be interrupted by one of the teachers going,
I'm sorry, ladies.
Everyone can hear this conversation going on over Zoom.
So that's a lot to do.
But now you're going in person now.
But you're saying there's a way to kind of minimize the time that you're there.
Well, I think so.
And there's many parts of the school.
I don't want to be negative against it because there's some beautiful moments.
And one thing I love about the classic New Zealand school assembly
is the unwritten law
that when you receive
a certificate
you hold it up
in front of your chest
and you're proud as punch
and that's adorable
it's awesome mate
and these kids have
worked so hard for it
it's a great moment
for them to celebrate
with everyone
the problem is
I don't care about
most of those children
I care about my kids
there might be some friends
oh good they had a win
95% of them you don't know.
It's still great for them, though.
It's great.
It's still great, yeah.
It's amazing.
It's awesome.
But here's my thing.
You can sex up the school assembly.
Not literally.
No, no, no.
That'd be weird.
But cut down time on applause.
After every one, we're...
Yeah.
You know, let's go.
No one applauds. No one.
Not one of you. We save it all
for the end of the night. Get them all standing
up there as a group. Let's hear it for the award
winners. Rattle out the names, you know,
Joel Harrison, Harriet, yeah,
everyone comes up, you stand up there, end of the night,
30 seconds of applause, we get out.
Standing ovation too, I reckon, too. That would be
one of those, one of the ones you see in the
Cannes Film Festival. You could give it like a three minute one or whatever.
That's right.
It'd be great.
That would knock it,
I reckon that would knock at least 45 to an hour
off the assembly.
We had something yesterday,
we were going through stuff.
It was a similar thing with the office
and reading out stuff when we're clapping.
And even in that environment,
you peter out, don't you?
And you feel like,
because once you've clapped,
hardly by the end you start,
people drop off and you know, you're right and and we're like we're still clapping and we're not
clapping so yeah okay i'm with you on that okay so let's all no one applaud at the school assembly
okay we say it's protest and we save it to the end we reformat the assembly like we all know
how to hold a certificate up in front of our chest we'll all know not to applaud
it's gonna be a couple of rough years.
But we'll get there.
We will.
The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
Jono and Ben with the ASB Classic, January 2nd to 14th.
Ah, yeah, January 2nd.
So what, one month away, it's happening, the ASB Classic,
the superstars of international tennis live in Auckland.
It's going to be incredible.
And you can get all the details at the hitstock.co.nz
tickets on sale right now.
Now,
I used to do,
you know,
a little fun fact
about John O'Priot, Ben?
I used to make the signs
for the ASB tennis tournament.
Did you?
Back in the day,
they didn't have,
you know,
this is back in the 1920s
and they didn't have
digital billboards
so the players' names.
So my neighbour, Terry,
was a sign writer
and during the holidays,
Terry would get me over, and then painstakingly, letter by letter, I would wipe them onto bits
of core flute, and then those of this core flute, they'd slide into the, you know, it
used to be like, Navratilova versus Agassi sort of thing, and I'd write them a couple
of spelling mistakes, mate.
But once you start, you can't really take it back. There's no deleting those, is there?
I remember in my very immature teenage years,
there was a tennis player called Vagina.
Right, okay.
I'm moving on.
Okay, let's give someone a double pass,
hopefully to the ASB Classic with our game 30 Love.
And Evelyn, welcome.
You're on the show this morning.
How's New Plymouth?
Yeah, it's really, really sunny today.
Oh, good stuff.
Now, Evelyn, you've got 30 seconds to phone someone.
Who are we phoning?
My husband, Elliot.
Okay.
To be fair, if you don't get your husband to say I love you in 30 seconds,
the relationship hangs in the balance.
But it's weird on a Friday morning, you know.
But let's give him a go.
We've got his number.
All right?
Yep.
Okay.
Okay, we're going through.
What's his name?
Sorry, Evelyn.
Elliot.
Elliot.
I feel like you already told me that it was elliot
yes yes but that's right yeah it's the amnesia okay good luck evelyn let's go elliot let's go I love you.
Oh!
What?
Hello?
Didn't even say hello, just said I love you.
Hi.
I just left work and I said that I loved him
and he was like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So I would nag him to say I love you.
And he just answered the phone with I love you.
Of course you knew you were going to win this competition.
Well done.
You're both off to the tennis.
Oh, yeah, that's amazing.
The hits.
The Jono and Ben podcast.
I bumped into Amber and she handed us a picture over
and it was a beautiful artistic impression of our game Five Words.
Now it featured two sort of scenes.
It was like a blow-by-blow of what happens off air.
Then it sort of transitioned to the game on air, didn't it?
It was pretty awesome there.
Yeah, little Ember had drawn this picture of us playing Five Words,
which we're going to play very shortly.
But you're right.
She'd gone to a lot of detail, almost like a comic strip,
of how the game played out in this particular scenario that she'd drawn.
A lot of detail.
Now, what I liked about Ember is she wanted to explain the whole scene.
She wanted to explain it blow by blow.
And you tried to rush her along.
I did.
You tried to go, oh, I could tell you she had lost you.
And you were like, okay.
And now they're playing and she's going, hold on.
You're still discussing this part.
And it's almost like going up to Da Vinci and be like,
mate, you've been banging away at that Mona Lisa for long enough.
Mate, let's come on.
Let's go.
But I haven't done the eyebrows yet.
I don't care.
Yeah, no, she was awesome.
This was adorable.
So have a listen to Ember explaining her picture,
how she drew us playing five words.
John, I was like, let's do this.
And then you were like, do what?
And then he was like, I don't know.
John never knows what's going on, that's right.
And then Ben's like, hello.
And then the person here is like, hi.
And then you're like, your first word is toy.
And then the person's thinking she's like
doll toy doll oh doll good answer but yeah second word is second word is money and the person's like
machine and then he's like and there's a third word eat and then it's like, good option, yeah. Fourth is run, and then the first one's jog. The first one says jog, yeah.
And the fifth is house, and he's like live.
And then it's like correct, $5,000.
$5,000, we got a winner.
And then they're like, oh my God, my God, my God.
She was adorable.
That was awesome.
Thank you very much for you, Emma.
That was incredible

Now what are you doing at this exact moment?
What are you looking at, Amy?
It's a little bit sad.
I'm in my work car park looking at a dumpster, but I'll turn the other way and I can see
work vehicles.
Oh, okay.
Where do you work?
I work near the airport.
I'm a quarantine officer.
Oh, nice.
We were out by the airport the other day, out at the Bunnings near the airport. I'm a quarantine officer. Oh, nice. We were out by the airport

going on out there. Yeah, there is. There's lots of new things popping up. I'm hoping
a new Costco's going to pop up there, but we'll see. There's a lot of land out of that
Christchurch airport, isn't there? I reckon there's room for a Costco, if you ask me. Now, when you quarantine stuff, what do you do?
So we check people's bags and sea freight coming into New Zealand.
So we, yeah, we look at things that aren't allowed in.
A few cheeky little parcels for B-Boys coming over there from Eastern Europe.

Yeah.
Obviously.
Yeah, yeah.

$5,000. Well, five words with Amy.
Yeah, I was quarantining in there. I was like,
gee, am I doing my two weeks in MIQ?
What's going on? There's some tricky words in there, so let's
rip straight into the $25 word.
Word one, $25.

Do you want to jump up to the $50 word, Amy?
Yes, please.
All right.
Word two, $50.
Roman.
Roman sandals.
Oh, we debated numerals and numeral,
and we didn't even think of sandals.
You don't think of Roman sandals?
That's a great option, too.

See that?
Roman numerals are also a good one as well.
What were the remaining words?
Leopard.
Leopard skin.
Oh, yeah.
Surgeon.
Brain.

Amy thanks for
listening mate
the hits
the Jono and Ben
podcast
now Jono I know
you love a wash world
I love a wash world
too
I do yeah
it's a
it does create me
an unnecessary
amount of stress
I don't know why
because I
the timer counting
down when you put
your coins in
you feel like you're
in a race
I know but you're
not where you can
just put another
dollar in or whatever but you do your life frantically I've got feel like you're in a race against Tom. I know, but you're not. Well, you can just put another dollar in or whatever,
but you do your life frantically.
I've got a minute left.
I'm only up to the bloody waxing.
A hot, soapy mess at the end of it, but it's great.
I often play the hits over the loudspeakers at Washworld,
so thank you very much for listening to us when you're there,
cleaning your cars.
Do you know a wonderful gentleman at Washworld gave me some free coins once,
and I put them in the thing, and I had some time left over,
and I went to another motorist.
I was like, there you go. There's five minutes left on there man and they're like thank you so so much
yeah I'm sorry no I felt like a bloody legend I failed to mention that I got the coins for free
because they didn't have to do that soapy race against time that you all have to do in wash
world but there's one opposite of mall uh and my mate was in the mall was about to go to the mall
with his partner she was going to pick up something from the shopping.
And he was wanting, to do on his to-do list was to clean the car.
And she was like, well, why don't you take the car across the road to the washroom?
I'll go pick up this item and then I'll walk across and come and see you at the washroom.
Two-prong attack.
Yeah.
Cut down the time.
Cut down the time.
So he does the soapy race against time.
He's doing all that and he's cleaning the car.
She finally does her shopping and then she heads across the road and she saw him sort of in the vacuum you know the vacuum section we're
bending over the car the door opens a vacuum furiously but you do everything furiously at
wash world waited for the vacuum cleaner to stop but still he was in a sort of an uncompromising
position with his bum in the air and sort of bending down into the footwell so it was all sort of bum facing her out the door so she came over to my mate's partner slapped him on the bum
who went hey sexy do you come with the car person got a heck of a fright and i say the person because
it wasn't him it was another motorist and a pretty identical car to his. He was still furiously washing away in the wash world
and someone else who she did not know.
Hey, sexy, do you come with the car?
She's got a whack on the back of the car.
A heck of a fright.
And my poor mate's partner had to explain it.
A lot of embarrassment there.
You know, the situation,
they thought you were someone else,
but, you know, it's like...
Did sexy come with the car?
I don't know if we even established
if sexy came with the car. don't know I don't know if we even established that if sexy came with the car
was he in the same clothes
well no
it was just jeans
it was just jeans
poking up
so I don't know
I mean mate
it was just
they get you an HR complaint
that does
I don't even think
Washworld could wash out
the shame of that
embarrassment there
so yeah
just a little word to the wise
next time you're in Washworld
don't do that
or wrap your lips
around the water blaster
well yeah that's another word to the wise The time you're in Washville, don't do that. Or wrap your lips around the water blaster. Well, yeah, that's another word to the wise.
The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
Of course, we travelled around the country eating 41 sausages at every Bunnings warehouse store in the country.
I think it's still working its way through my system.
It is, yeah.
Things, yeah.
Just returning to normal, much like the show.
We're returning to normal back in the studio.
Slowly functioning back to normal, much like the show. We're returning to normal back in the studio. Slowly functioning back to normal again. But as we sort of reflect back on the whirlwind of the trip,
we need to talk about something that happened in Gisborne.
We got there late at night.
Usually what goes on in Gizzy stays in Gizzy.
Yeah, Gizzy Hart.
Rhythm and Vines will vouch for that.
So we got there late at night.
We went to the hotel and there was an after hours notice outside.
You had to ring a number A mobile number
And you did some
So listen
I'll front foot it saying
I was tired, I was weighed down with sausage
My guard was down Ben
So I wasn't fully
Well we've got to call this number
So instead of grabbing your cell phone
Which anyone else would have done
It's a mobile number I need to call the phone
You saw an intercom, a keypad, and you started dialing in the door.
02182 and put it in the intercom.
And then the intercom just started.
Unnecessarily ringing nonstop.
Yeah.
And it wouldn't stop.
It felt like I'd sent the thing into meltdown mode.
And then I was like, oh, this person's not answering.
It's not working. And then you said, well, did you read the notice into meltdown mode And then I was like Oh this person's not answering It's not working
And then you said
Well did you read the notice to the end
And I hadn't
I'd done the classic thing
Where I like to read the first paragraph of a news story
Form a hard opinion about it
And get it on the radio
And the end message said
Dial this number on your phone
It was all laid out there
Black and white
But I'd sent this intercom system
Ringing I think every room in the hotel And the hotel next door as well it was ringing we're all late at night i think it
was still ringing in the morning uh when we were still going i'm worried that this thing is still
ringing in there i'll put it on backlog just trying every room in gisborne uh so i reckon
we should give them a call on the number not through the intercom right now the hotel and
just make sure the thing is actually turned off. Should we give them a quick call?
Allside Hotel, Grace speaking.
Oh, hey, Grace.
It's Jono and Ben calling from the Hits radio station.
How are you doing?
Oh, hello.
Good, thank you.
Hey, we stayed in your lovely place the other day.
It was awesome.
But we arrived late at night.
Mm-hmm.
And there's a sign outside to say to call the number on a cell phone
if you arrive after
hours yeah and jono hi that's me that's um punched in on the on the keypad on the intercom
the the mobile number like it would work oh two blah blah blah like that and then the whole thing
started beeping for ages and we couldn't get the thing going it was making a lot of noise and this
was late at night and i imagine it would affect a lot of residents
there, a lot of people staying in the hotel, so we
just wanted to apologise for Jono's...
He's an idiot.
No, that's fine, that's all right. I didn't hear
about it. Because it was constantly
ringing. It was going...
We couldn't stop it. He tried to call
a cell phone from an intercom.
It sounded like I was
dialling another solar system,
but the lady came down to let us in,
and it was still ringing very loudly,
and I was trying to talk loudly to hide the noise of the intercom.
So it hasn't had any long-lasting effects?
No, no, no, it's all been fine.
Oh, God, you managed to get it stopping after a couple of days.
I'm glad you stopped it.
Hey, it was lovely staying at your wonderful place,
and hopefully we'll see you again soon.
Oh, cool, thank you. There you go, got a clear conscience. I'm glad you stopped. Hey, it was lovely staying at your wonderful place and hopefully we'll see you again soon. Oh, cool. Thank you.
There you go. Got a clear conscience.
I'm glad it stopped eventually.
It was keeping me up at night
and it was probably keeping a lot of other people up at night as well.
Okay, this is what we want to do.
Oh, 800, that hits.
Button pushes.
When you push the wrong buttons.
First time we met producer Joel,
he filled in for one day on the show
and managed to take nine of our markets off air.
Yeah.
Didn't you? Yeah, I like to think I'm not bad at pushing buttons, but I think I managed to take nine of our markets off air. Yeah. Didn't you?
Yeah, I like to think I'm not bad at pushing buttons,
but I think I took about 10 years off our boss's life.
It was a dark morning.
He sent the Hawks band to need an offer.
Oh, okay.
0800 the hits.
When you push the wrong button, you can set off emergency buttons in malls,
accidentally push hospital buttons, you can push ambulance buttons.
The Hits, the Jono and ben podcast pushing buttons we want to know i know a hundred the hits when you've accidentally pushed
the wrong button because uh jonah at the hotel we said at the other day and a really shocking
moment where he tried to dial a mobile number from an intercom system did you get into lift at work
and try and call home and stuff like that? No.
Yeah.
And hindsight,
it was late at night,
tired.
It was, yeah,
I was vulnerable and it felt like I might have
pushed so many buttons
I let off some nukes
in North Korea.
Yeah.
And it was because
it was ringing.
Even the next morning
when we left,
it was still going.
But thankfully,
there's no long-lasting issues
there at the Portside Hotel
in Gisborne.
But we'll go to Mel.
Pushing the wrong button. Mel, what was it for you?
Yes, morning, how are you?
Oh, we're doing well.
Lovely to have you on the show, Mel.
What did you do?
So yesterday I was sitting at work and we've got our home CTV on our phones
and I got a message on there saying that someone crossed the line,
so I was checking it out and I accidentally pressed the panic button.
My husband, whilst working at home yesterday on a video call,
had every alarm in our house go off and panic and screaming,
and he's wondering what's happening.
I'm looking at my phone going, there's panic flashing,
and I'm like, oh, shit, so I'm trying to turn it off while I'm in the office, and he's at home trying to explain
to his call while every alarm in our home house is going off, and he's wondering what
the heck is going on.
Well, good on you.
Great prank.
Sorry?
Great prank, isn't it, that you can do when someone's at home?
I wasn't a very popular wife when I got home from work.
That's very good.
Thank you for your call, Malcolm.
Oh, such a great call.
Have a good weekend.
We'll get Vixter on from Hamilton this morning.
How are you, Vicky?
Good, thanks.
How are you doing?
We're doing well.
It wasn't you.
It was your daughter in a hospital setting.
Yep, yep.
It wasn't too much of a major, but it was a panic station for a minute.
My daughter was getting a blood test.
She'd broken her collarbone from biking in the redwoods. And my daughter, while she was getting a blood test. She'd broken her collarbone from biking in the redwoods.
And my daughter, while she was getting a blood test,
went around and pushed the red button at the bottom of the bed,
which shoots it back.
And, yeah, there was blood all up her arm,
and not everyone was happy.
Kind of like the Graham Norton's red chair.
Bam!
Yeah.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
I don't know who was more concerned about
it, more shocked. But she's also
pushed the button on
the steriliser
at Playcentre.
She loves a button push.
She's going through her teens, she really
is a button pusher. The problem is
in hospital there's so many buttons that look
pushable. That happened to me and my wife.
Red, they're screaming at you. my wife had a you know cesarean before we after we had our first born
baby um yeah she was like can you push the button on the bed to just erase it in the hospital
and i pushed a button and she's like oh that's the pain relief and just give it another burst of that
just medicating your wife yeah so i don't know why they leave those things
next to each other.
Well, there definitely shouldn't be access
to like morphine buttons
for just your average month to like the invoice.
Exactly.
That seems well done, Vicky.
We'll get Victoria on.
Another Vic from Taupo.
Welcome.
Now, you set off your grandma.
Yeah, I did that.
What happened?
Well, I believe when I was like four or five,
my nana had like an ambulance pendant,
and I really liked it.
Like, it was a really pretty necklace.
So I put it on, and I wore it like I was super cool.
I had like the backwards snapback hat and the sunglasses.
And this cool medic alert bracelet pendant.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, obviously.
But like, little did I know what it did so i decided
to press the red button yeah one they generally tell you not to press so the paramedics came and
it kind of went downhill from there oh they're right really cool because i'm so professional
with the stimulator so i went up to them and they asked where the patient was and I was like, oh, I don't know.
Like, oh well.
But I was like, oh look, check out my cool necklace.
I was like,
I was at that moment.
With your cap backwards and your sunglasses on.
I love it how there's St. John's people there and they're like,
where's the patient? And you're like, I don't know, but check out
this mint necklace I found.
That was pretty much it.
That's great.
I was like, oh, yeah.
Good on you, Victoria.
Hey, cheers for listening, mate.
You're going to have a good weekend in Taupo.
The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
Now, yesterday we went to Field Days.
A lot of fun.
The Agricultural Expo, Mystery Creek in Hamilton.
It's on again today and tomorrow.
So many people out and about.
It was cool.
We took our chips down, our out-of-this-world chips.
We wore flamboyant space suits, our suits with the solar system on it.
The only thing we were farming was fashion in our flamboyant solar system.
We really didn't blend in, though, did we?
Yeah, no, we did.
Serious lack of fields at field days, did you notice?
Quite a lot of marquees.
It's all on the field.
Yeah, but you didn't see the field.
I would say more tents than fields, wouldn't you say?
More giant marquee.
But it was awesome down there as well.
And actually, speaking about chips, which we were handing out yesterday,
if you get a photo with one of the bags of chips, there's a QR code.
You can win $10,000 next week on the show.
What I did notice is people get very suspicious of shady-looking people
in solar system suits handing out sample chips, like little boats of chips,
not in packets.
Someone thought they were wood chips, didn't they?
Yeah. But I noticed when we just started handing them out in packets someone thought they were wood chips didn't they
yeah but i noticed when we just started handing out in packets people were more accommodating oh they were like flooded around yeah yeah but when you're just like hey here's six chips in a
boat people what's going on yeah but this is the area our reaction from the farming folk at field
days marjo and anne hello how are you both? We're both well.
Yep.
Now you're trying our chips for the very first time.
Let's see.
Oh yum.
Let's see what Ann thinks.
Well she always says yum and she hasn't tried it and it was sarcastically, wasn't it?
No, it's awesome.
That's it.
Very nice, thank you very much.
You said that with your face kind of a little bit puckered up like you did for a minute.
You like that Marjo?
Yeah. Arwen's just trying our chips for the first time. You said that with your face kind of a little bit puckered up like you did for a minute. You like that, Marjorie?
Arwen's just trying our chips for the first time.
Oh, fantastic.
I haven't struck chips like this since I had an axe of my own.
You thought they were wood chips that we were giving you.
Yeah, but they don't taste very woody.
They taste quite good, actually.
Actually, they are really good.
I'm a lover of potato chips.
If you're rating it a 10, one shit seems good.
So I'd say they're probably an 8.5.
Oh!
There you go, positive reviews.
It was actually very positive.
A lot of rock-solid handshakes, too, there at field days.
They would shake your hand to the point where you thought you had brain damage.
You know, a lot of just
they almost
ripped your arm off
don't they
we got to go on
the country
radio show
there were guys
around the country
obviously the country show
you could not have
messed that up anymore
yeah
so I was a bit
a little nervous
because it was
you know rural things
you know it's not my
I got nervous
with the first syllable
of that word you were trying to attend.
And I was like, why is he stalling?
Why is he stalling here?
No, it was a fun day.
And it's still on today, tomorrow too.
Mystery Creek, Hamilton.
Yeah, it's a lot of fun.
Car park, I noticed, is quite a way away from where the action is.
And it needs to be.
But I got to the end of the car park, I felt exhausted.
It's like, you're only halfway through the car park.
The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
And it's Pink, try your New Zealand's breakfast.
Jono and Ben with you on The Hits, 8.34.
Thanks for hanging out.
Now, Spotify, you know, people love streaming music on that.
I've got Apple music on mine.
I haven't quite gotten to Spotify.
No, I'm saying it's huge
It's huge
It's massive
It's the main one right
Once Apple got their claws into me
They've got their claws into you for life
Don't they
Such a pain in the ass to change
I know
You tried it once
You tried to go over to Samsung
Didn't you
No you're not
But then when people love it
Whatever way you start off with
People seem to just love it
And stick with it
Which is great
Goes with streaming services as well
Doesn't it
With music
And Joel you're on Spotify Producer Joel Isn't that the one where you can have people seem to just love it and stick with it. Which is great. It goes with streaming services as well, doesn't it, with music?
And Joel, you're on Spotify, producer Joel.
Isn't that the one where you can have free or premium and then you get interrupted with ads if you've got the free one?
Yeah, you pay an X amount a month.
I actually pay more a month than I would for Apple.
I feel like just for this Spotify wrapped.
I love the day.
Love seeing everyone share on Instagram as well.
So this is why at the end of the year,
basically Spotify sends you the biggest songs that you've been listening to
and the artists you've been listening to, right?
Yeah, they do like a big slideshow of all the data.
I think it's from October to October.
And yeah, it's a great day.
All the data they've farmed off you over the 12-month period.
So you get to see, it's a bit of a surprise.
I'm sure, like you said yesterday, Rod Stewart crept into your top five.
Rod Stewart did, yeah.
It was obviously a weird year for me.
Obviously had a lot going on.
Yeah.
So Jacinda Ardern, Chris Luxon,
obviously the leaders of the main two parties.
Now their Spotify raps have been released now to us.
Just to us.
Just to us.
We've got some inside, you know, intel, you know, from people.
Anyway, let's not say how we got it from the dark web.
Let's just say we've got this information.
We purchased it off an Albanian gang.
And we want to play some of it.
Now, some of these songs may surprise you, what they're listening to.
Jacinda Ardern, Prime Minister, should we start with her?
Yeah, top of her playlist, Old MacDonald Had a Farm.
Yeah.
Because he might not have one next year.
Yeah, well, we get the carbon emissions tax and stuff as well, you know.
So, yeah, he had a farm, but he didn't like the carbon emissions tax.
Also, not surprisingly, this song, he had a farm but he didn't like the carbon emission tax. Also, not surprisingly,
this song, because of the colour of her party,
yeah, it's a new tune, local song.
Cost of Living
has got Jacinda Ardern playing this song a lot.
Mo' money, mo' problems.
Brooke Fraser,
Something in the Water, a lot of talk about
Three Waters.
Bloody Three Waters, that's what she's saying
her whole music catalogue
is based off
topical events
going on in her life
and finally
is it time for Jacinda
to call it a day
or she's listening to this one
end of the road
maybe
question mark
question mark
Chris Luxen
well his favourite colour
well what's that?
Eiffel 65?
Yeah.
Now, when is he holidaying?
You know, he holidays...
He goes to Te Puke, doesn't he?
No, no, no, no.
He goes to Hawaii and pretends he's in Te Puke.
That's why he likes Hawaii Five-0, the theme.
If you vaguely remember that TV show.
Yeah, all that.
Or there was like an Elvis Hawaii song we could have used.
Yeah.
He wants to send
all the Ram Raiders
to the Seven Nations Army.
And Christopher Lux
of course in this election
will be hoping
for a bit of this.
Changes.
Oh yeah.
It doesn't quite work
when you don't get
the whole song.
You need the 80 ones. Changes. And finally the. It doesn't quite work when you don't get the hook of the song.
You need the 80-wit.
Changes.
And finally, the tax breaks for his rich mates makes Chris Philaxen want to talk about.
Muddy Talks.
Some great songs.
Both their top five.
Winston Peters, what he had, like, Return of the Mac.
Bitches Back.
Yeah.
Basically, it's all coming back to me now.
I won't go away and take me to your leader as well because you work with any leader.
Oh my God, the songs we brainstorm, guys, we could do this for another two hours.
And that is the political party's Spotify rap.
Yeah, there we go.
Definitely the songs that we're listening to right there. Hey, coming up, chance to win big before nine o'clock.
It is.
You got Jono and Ben.
Jono and Ben with Chalice.
