New Zealand's most recommended telco. New Zealand's breakfast. This is Jono and Ben on The Hits. Kia ora, good morning. Welcome along to the show. We've got to a Friday in New Zealand. It is day 10 of lockdown. It is a big day today for Aotearoa because we'll find out this afternoon what's going to happen over the next week. Will the alert level change or not? Particularly, I think,

we're thinking outside of Auckland. I am going to make my prediction now. There we go. We're out of lockdown. We're out of lockdown. Everywhere out of the country. 11.59 tonight, out of lockdown. Well, I'm going to make a prediction that it's got to happen at some stage. $5,000, we've got to give that away. Now, at 7.45, we're going to start playing our game this morning. Five words for 5K. And we're just going

to keep playing it non-stop. Obviously, we'll play songs and commercials. We've got commercial obligations. But we'll just keep playing it non-stop until the money is won. So that's what we have to do. I don't know how long

we're going to be here for. We might be like, just sitting there going, we've got three more days or seven more days. We don't know. Yeah, we're going to start here for. We might be like just sitting there going, we've got three more days or seven more days. We don't know. Yeah, we are going to start the game at 7.45 and whoever is sent into the soundproof booth,

whether it be Juliet, Ben or myself, they will remain in there until the money is given away. Yeah. No water. No toilet breaks. What? No food. No oxygen.

Nothing. I don't know about the toilet break. It's a torture chamber. You can't get a toilet break. Anyway, that's happening today. We're going to give away $5,000. It's a torture chamber. Anyway, that's happening today. We're going to give away $5,000. You'll have a hose. I'll give you a tube. $5,000 up for grabs, so stick around this morning as well as that.

Machu from 660, they've got new music. And Blair Chuuk and Peter Burling, Team New Zealand Sailors, turned into our SailGP sailors. We'll tell you more later this hour. It is the hits. Going hard and ooey. Go hard, go ooey. Go hard and hits. Going hard in Uli. Go hard, go Uli. Go hard in Uli.

Hard in Uli. Go hard. With Jono and Ben. New Zealand's breakfast. Contactless. It is the hits. Jono and Ben. 608 on your Friday morning.

Now, my computer, Ben Boyce. It's been working hard, eh? It has been working hard. Now, it's about five or six years old this one juliet have a look at that computer yeah don't look at the internet history no do not look too close oh god in fact i should probably add that sort of pop up you're like you guys get served the ads for this we're like uh how to flirt with girls at work can i just say for the record I've never had an ad pop up Remember that Bobby Rio thing

You were like guys Are you getting served these ads about how to How to be a player Oh come on be serious You're like be serious you are We're like no we're not I learned an important lesson that day Do not start a conversation with what ad

You're being served Because it always leads to embarrassment. In our last Five Words for 5K livestream, an ad came up about the colour... Colour your poopers. Yeah. Should my poop be blue? It's a genuine health question.

Should it be? No. Yeah, okay. Well, listen. The computer's been working hard.'s seen some stuff it's like in me now he's like i want to retire from being a computer you have run me ragged but it has just been going we've heard it sounds like a like a jet taking off you know yeah and uh you been uh gave me you're like just shut it down just like give it just turn it off

just turn it off and I did I haven't shut it down for 12 months and I turned it off and I turned it back on and you could tell the computer was like

thank you yeah that's all I wanted that was it that was it just a 30 second breather you know if my computer

was an employee and I was the management I'd be taken to the employment relations authority they'd be like mate you have not given this poor guy a day off he is burnt out yeah totally you're right as soon as it came back on again after you just restarted it was like no it was fine

it was fine it was like my one to be fair every day it's like do you want to update the new thing I'm like tell me tomorrow not now and you always do that thing and I always like to imagine that the tone of that not now is, not now. Not now, of all days, not now. I'm in the middle of the show, computer, you know, not now.

It's not a good time. It's like someone turning up at your door and it's like, we're eating dinner. Do you restart and update your computer, Jude? I try to. Sometimes my computer does what yours does and I'm like, oh god, or it freezes and then it crashes and so I'm like yes, I need to restart it. But it's important to

restart your computers or shut them down every once in a while, you know? Ten years ago, look at the technology we have at our fingertips. We take it for granted. We run it ragged. You know, it's just expected. Yeah, true. You know, if something takes five seconds to load

like even just waiting for that skip function to come up on a YouTube ad it's painful for us now oh god I don't want to hear about Grammarly I don't want to hear about flirting in the office why is my poo blue you know

it's funny isn't it that we've just become so let's appreciate the technology. It's working hard for us. That's right. You're right. You're right. Hey, we've got Blair Chuuk, Peter Burling. They won the America's Cup for Team New Zealand,

and now they're off representing New Zealand in another big tournament. We catch up with them overseas very shortly. It is the hits. Scrolling through your feed. The only thing more infectious than Delta is Ben Boyce's personality and here he is with some scrolling through your feed. Now Cabinet, I've got to decide today at 3 o'clock

I think the announcement is whether Alert Level change restrictions, well whether they'll change the restrictions or whether they'll continue. What is your genuine prediction for this and do you have no expertise in epidemiology but... Let's say, because at the moment it's a team of 5 million

but I'd say maybe come Tuesday midnight it might be a team of 1 million and a team of 4 million. So the South Island and North Island might be separate for different levels. I'm thinking maybe, I don't know. As I say, no, that's just a guess. I'm guessing maybe the South Island might go to level 3 next week.

But it's hard. But then Kate Hawkes will be talking about this on the way into work this morning on Newstalk. She's like, what about people in Tauranga or, you know, Gisborne or something? They've got no COVID in there. And then suddenly they get lumped in with the, if that's the case, if it's North and South Island. So it's a tough decision to make for the government. Let's be honest. It's Auckland's fault.

Let's call a spade a spade. Auckland's caused all of this. I want to apologise on behalf of Auckland. We don't feel great about it. Shut us down. Pretend we're not here and New Zealand should continue on without us. Go on, Sprenger, you go on.

We'll sit here. Leave us. Save yourself. And you might have seen this on social media, particularly in the usa the milk crate challenge now it's a new viral challenge that seems to have started on tiktok in america and it basically involves people stacking plastic milkshakes milkshakes milk crates so plastic square milk crates on top of each other kind of like a pyramid and then they sort of walk across it and the higher gets, the more wobbly it gets, and people are really messing themselves up.

You were playing this to me on Wednesday, and Snoop Dogg, of all people, has become obsessed with the crate challenge. All of us, his whole Instagram is just filled up with people doing the crate challenge. Nailing themselves. Which is, you know, you've had planking, we've had the ice bucket challenge. But this is another level.

People are really hurting themselves. Doctors in the US have warned it's worse than falling off a ladder, you've had planking we've had the ice bucket challenge but this is another level that people really hurting themselves doctors in the u.s have warned it's worse than falling off a ladder basically when you get to the top of this and they're saying obviously with the hospitals being overrun with covid you know it's like maybe this isn't the best idea to be doing right now that's something that can involve injuries i don't think you could trust anyone in new zealand to do that because someone's going to come and push them over while you're on top of the milk crates. That's what would happen in New Zealand.

Is that happening internationally as well? I saw one actually on Snoop Dogg's thing where someone did push another one and you're like, oh, guys, come on. But tempting. That's stupid. Like, why would you even want to do this? It's like, yeah.

Why would you want to hurt yourself? I mean, why would you want to plank, though, as well? Looking back at our planking years, I think we all regret that, don't we? Well, obviously they've drunk a lot of milk to get the crates, so maybe they feel their bones are strong and nothing's going to happen. Kelsey, I'm running through my veins.

There's one way to test how strong my bones are. But it's interesting. Where do they get all the milk crates, though? Like, how is there such an excessive number of milk crates available? It must be a thing over there that they must get all their milk delivered in those milk crates. Because you're right, because they're different. Well, I haven't seen them really in New Zealand like that.

And I guess that's maybe in the dairies and service stations, maybe that's how they do it. We should start up the, and I'm going to launch this, the wheelie bin challenge. Where we get every wheelie bin in the street and we stack those up on a pyramid and we climb on top of those. The wheelie bin challenge. What's wrong with the wheelie bin challenge? Jason Gunn stood on a wheelie bin in the street, we stack those up on a pyramid. And we climb on top of those. The wheelie bin challenge.

No. What's wrong with the wheelie bin challenge? Jesus. When Jason Gunn stood on a wheelie bin, remember, he broke his back. That's right, yeah. Gunn was hospitalized. And that was one wheelie bin. Yeah.

No, that's what. So imagine 30. Oh, the jeopardy. Maybe a Cirque du Soleil or something could bring that into their routine or something. So just take care out there for a bit. Yeah. It's lockdown. Get your neighbour's wheelie bins.

No. No. Stack them high. No, definitely not. Jono Pryor's wheelie bin challenge. No, no. Wheelie exciting. I know.

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. 6.23 on your Friday morning. The Paralympics are on. And Sophie Pascoe last night, first Kiwi to win a medal at the Paralympics this year.

She won silver in the 100m breaststroke. And that is, she's amazing. That's her 16th medal. She is amazing. 16th medal. And this is not her favourite event. I think she's racing in a few other ones as well. At the Paralympics. Yeah, yeah.

She could be chasing down Carrington as our most... I think she's... Carrington's 22 medals, isn't she, in total? Lisa Carrington. Oh, I saw a... Have you seen that social media video of Lisa Carrington arriving home? Oh! And her dog?

Oh, my goodness. Carrington's got six medals. Who? Carrington's got six medals. Five gold, one bronze. And she's the most decorated Olympian. But she's Paralympian. She's got six medals. Who? Carrington's got six medals. Five gold, one bronze. And she's the most decorated Olympian. But she's Paralympian. She's got 16 medals.

16? Yeah. Sophie Pascoe. It's incredible, eh? So awesome. She is. I wish she drank more Powerade. That's what she drinks, eh?

She's on there. Maybe that's what I'm doing wrong. Yeah, she's incredible. Well done to her. Yeah. And is it breaststroke or breast stroke i'd never figured that out what is it breast stroke is a breast stroke i think so tough technique breaststroke too isn't it well yeah or the butterfly i find the toughest swimming i look

at me talking like i i know annie and john wanted me to become an olympic swimmer they thought my swimming skills were well above what they actually were. Yeah, butterfly does seem very difficult as well. I saw it last night on the news that a Brazilian swimmer got silver in the Paralympics, and he didn't have any arms. It's incredible. For butterfly? It was for, I think it was for backstroke. Oh, wow.

What? Yeah, it was incredible. It was amazing. It was just incredible, the achievement. Yeah, so it's awesome. So over the weekend, make sure you watch the Paralympics. They're incredible, incredible athletes. And it's so good to have them on the TV.

Wheel Blacks playing again, too, as well. Yeah, they lost last night, unfortunately, their second game to Great Britain, who are fourth in the world. So it does feel like the Wheel Blacks won't be in for the hunt for a medal, they were saying this morning. But, you know, you never know. You never know. Because I don't know much more about that. But I do know enough to know that they lost uh to the fourth place

great britain side yeah did you see that lisa kerrington video oh my gosh oh i was talking to juliet about it while you were uh researching her dog when she arrived home from the olympics oh does that make you want to get a dog oh poppy my daughter who's been harassing me for a dog she just keeps replaying that video. Oh, really? She's like, look, Dad, the dog is frothing to see Lisa Carrington. That is the cutest thing we'll see all day. We're all frothing to see Lisa Carrington, aren't we, when she wrote it.

Speaking of medal winners, we've got some silver medalists joining us next. Peter Birling, Blair Chook, sailors, America's Cup sailors, Olympic sailors, and now they're taking part in something called the World Sailing GP. Essentially, think of Formula One car racing, but on the water. Yeah. That's what they're partaking in, and we're going to talk to them next live from some exotic European location. From a socially distantly safe two metres.

Stay away. This is New Zealand's Breakfast with Jono and Ben. It is a hit. Jono and Ben. It is a hit. Jono and Ben were just talking about Kiwis doing amazing things at the Paralympics. And some more Kiwis have done some amazing things. Blair Chuuk and Peter Berlin, of course, they won the America's Cup with Team New Zealand. They won a silver medal at the Olympics just a couple of weeks ago. Now they're in the SAIL GP, which I don't really know a lot about.

So I thought we could get them on to tell us a bit more more about it and they join us from france right now peter and blair how you guys doing yeah we're all good hey listen just if you're wondering what's happening in new zealand nothing here to report everything's fine it's all good back home guys yeah nothing nothing nothing going on to the office to be honest yeah well essentially yeah we're allowed to be here, which is lovely. Massive for the morale and positivity of the country, you know, to have your guys' voices coming through.

Thank you for really overselling our job role. Now, listen, you guys, you're just mentioning you're out for dinner right now. You must spend so much time together. Yeah, well, recently we have. No, actually, probably the last 10 years, to be honest. But no, it's been cool. It's been awesome.

Taken on some amazing projects and it's been an awesome journey. So pretty lucky to be over here representing Aotearoa, doing sport we love as a profession and pretty lucky. I mean, you guys are a successful duo, but we do hang out with each other a lot, me and Jono, much like the two of you. Do you guys get asked the same questions as us? Do you always ask, are you sick of each other's company

or do you guys fight? That's a question we get asked a lot. Not really. No, we share quite a bit of the same hobbies and stuff, so I don't mind hanging out and generally pretty easy going. Not too many fights. We get asked that question loads though. Yeah, what's up with us?

Honestly, we don't fight either, but we get asked that question all the time. Oh, there must be a lot of... Probably the same with you. There's probably a lot of passive aggression building up and it's going to explode

on the boat one day, mid-race. Yeah, just like mid-morning radio slot, right? Yeah. It's coming one day. You can feel it coming. It's going to be ugly.

Yeah, SailGP is, you know, for many Kiwis, the America's Cup is the yachting that we watch and we love. Tell us more about the SailGP because it seems like Formula One on water. Yeah, so SailGP is a new sailing league, which was formed in 2019, was the first season. So for the Kiwis that watch the America's Cup in Bermuda,

the catamarans used there, the AC50s, the boats we use in SailGP now are sort of a supercharged sort of versions of those boats. So there's, at the moment, there's eight boats in the league, all exactly the same and all on the start line at the same time. So compared to the America's Cup where you got one boat on one boat, this is eight all on the start line at the same time. Now you guys were in Denmark over the weekend. You had a bit of a collision with the one boat. This is eight all on the start line at the same time. Now, you guys were in Denmark over the weekend.

You had a bit of a collision with the French boat. Is that scary when that happens? Because you guys must be travelling at top speed. Yeah, it was a bit of a shame, that crash we had with the French team. The umpires deemed them to be in the boat that was fouling. But no, not too scary in that situation. You're always pushing the boats hard and quite close together, and sometimes they sort of come in contact.

Always pushing the boat out when you see a boat coming towards you you're both like whoa whoa whoa are you talking to each other at this moment? I would be saying that I mean hopefully not if you're getting into the whoa whoa whoa stage

you're probably way too close you're like if you're driving a car going whoa whoa whoa that's how I do when bit of driving a car going, whoa. That's how I do when I'm driving with Jono. Passively pushing an imaginary brake. You've got loose on the driving, Jono. Yeah, no, he always has a go at me. I'm always looking for a shortcut somewhere. It was meant to be coming, the sale GP was meant to be coming to Lyttelton in January.

MIQ was denied. So does it mean it's off the cards for coming to New Zealand? What's happened there? No mean it's off the cards for coming to New Zealand? What's happened there? No, not definitely off the cards. Just the government, unfortunately, has denied the MIQ spots at the moment to the league for that January period. But no, the league and the event and Christchurch are still working with the government and with Christchurch

to try and make something happen. So, yeah, as the leaders of the New Zealand team, we'd love for it to happen. It would be awesome for the country and especially for Lyttelton and the South Island to see that style of racing. It's something that New Zealand hasn't seen before. We're going to hopefully, you know, things will keep progressing there and we can come to some sort of arrangement.

When you're out there on the boats hooning along, you must be like, how can these things go any faster? But every time America's Cup rolls around, they end up going faster. Like, is there no limit? Not sure, to be honest. Yeah, I think every time someone asks that question, they probably get the answer wrong.

But yeah, definitely this weekend, I think we got up to about 95, 96k an hour was our peak. So yeah, definitely getting pretty fast now. Is it getting too fast? It's getting to the whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa stage, isn't it? It's getting close to that. We got Peter Burling, Blair Chuuk with us. You guys, of course, good mates, great sailors together.

I wanted to put you on the spot right now, find out how much you know about each other. First question for Peter, when is Blair's birthday? What's his birthday? It's been pretty recently yeah uh 24th of july 89 something like that uh 25th oh it's close speed of early was one off okay blair wins peter's birthday first of first 91. yeah first of january that's an easy one okay uh of first, 91. Yeah, first of January. That's an easy one. Okay, Blair. Peter, I want to say Blair is a qualified what? What is he qualified in?

I'm not sure you'd want him to actually wire up your house, but he's a sparky. He is, yeah, a qualified electrician. Blair, what college did Peter attend? Tauranga Boys. Yeah, well done. Okay, Peter, what's Blair's mum's name? Karen.

Yeah, nice work. And the final question for Blair. In June 17, 2004, you guys did some filming for Air New Zealand. What was written on Peter's T-shirt in the photo you posted? Not 2014, I think. Sweet as, bro. Oh, Scott. Holy cow. Shot, bro. Well done. That was meant to be the tough question you weren't going to get. I think. Sweet as, bro. Oh, Scott. Oh, good. Shot, bro.

Well done. That was meant to be the tough question you weren't going to get. At a real level, though. Yeah. That was meant to be the one you weren't going to get. Well done. Good on you guys. You keep safe on your travels and always love catching up with you both.

Yeah, thank you, guys. Take it easy. I know it's tough times back home at the moment, but take it easy back there. Those guys are awesome. Blair Chuke, Peter Burling, great to have a successful duo on the show for a change. It is Jono and Ben. Five words guaranteed winner. We've got to do it.

We've got to do it today. 745, your chance to win $5,000. The show where the masks make them look a whole lot better. Can't say this better than a whole day's. It makes you beautiful. Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast. Hey, yesterday, I don't know if you remember during the show, Fletch from Fletch and Vaughan, their next door on ZM, he was outside our studio window there in the foyer, and he was

sort of, he was fostering with his phone, and he was standing by the window, and he was wanting, he was like trying to get our attention. Oh, yeah, out through the glass there, yeah, because we've got a big glass in the studio that like, it walks out to the foyer, so. Now I was driving home yesterday and I said, Jono, you arrogantly assumed that Fletch wanted to take a selfie with you. Oh yeah.

You always said to everyone, you're like, because I didn't notice he was next to you behind the window, behind obviously social distancing through the window. But he was like, oh, Fletch, Fletch. Guys, Fletch wants to take a photo. Yeah. So we all look up and we're like. Thumbs up.

So I got ready for the photo. I got camera ready. So did I because you told us. Yeah, you're like, guys, guys, look up, look up, look up. Yeah. Camera ready. Camera ready for me at the moment is just putting a mask on, covering half of my face.

But it's a great camera ready. And so I was posing with like a peace sign you know through the window ready for a photo and he was trying to get onto his instagram i'm like this is going to be some hot fire instagram content and then he was like showing me the phone he's like it's not loading and i was like it's not loading guys just wait photos coming and uh then he's like it's gonna load soon and i was still waiting there with the peace sign bows through the window. You embarrass me. And then his Instagram starts working.

And all he wanted to do was show us a meme. Yeah. He didn't want a photo. Interesting why those guys look at memes over there at the hits. And I was standing there. You're right, with pierced lips, you know, powdered lips, peace sign, looking magnificent. You couldn't even see my powdered lips because I had a mask on, but they were, you know, just trust me, they were looking great.

Yeah, true. I didn't think about that. And on reflection, I shouldn't be surprised that he didn't want a photo of us because we've never had a photo together. And also, why would he want to promote essentially, yes we are the same company but we're on it at the same time We're like promoting the company. But these guys who work at the same

time. None of it What was I thinking? Arrogant So arrogant Fueled by ego Just a shock and there's no, in history there's no photographic of Fletch and me ever being in the same photo. What is it with you and their show?

You once thought their producer was a little boy wanting work experience. He did. Jared. When he used to work over at The Edge. Little Jared. Call him Little Jared. This is what got into trouble in the first place. So you got a mix-up.

There was someone waiting in reception when we were working at The edge radio station who was a radio student who was interested in you know getting into radio and and then dan our producer at the time was like oh just outside there's someone wanting to want to get into radio what's coming to the studio have a look and so you went outside saw someone sitting in the seat which was jared who worked at the same company but you were like good day mate i had my hands on my knees. You know how you bend down with your hands on your knees? Hello, little fella. You want to get into radio, do you, mate?

You're so condescending. He's like, yeah, I guess I kind of work in radio. I work at the same company we've met before. He's like, I'm just waiting here for a meeting. And I was like, oh, should we get a photo, little boy? Oh, my God. Isn't it nice to meet your heroes? So, yeah, anyway um that's what i assume

everyone wants photos with you yeah maybe that's the the rule maybe that's the amount of people that i aren't what people who don't want photographs that i've dragged into photos over the years yeah we've just been standing there they've just been walking past i'll be like oh come on then have a photo and then i just i just want to go to the toilet like i'm but then they give us a pity photo which is always nice too there's no more humbling experience than i've had it happen once and it was pretty humbling when i when you think someone wants a photo you get a photo you're like you're no worries and then you realize they give you the camera you're like oh they want me to take the photo you're like i hope they didn't know. These are the real-life struggles of a New Zealand crap liberty, guys.

Not everyone wants photos. We've got new music from 660. The little snippet we've heard of the song sounds amazing. It sounds very epic. I can't wait to play that. We're talking to lead singer Marcia from 660 just after 7, and it is the hits. Spy, the what's up, spy.co.nz.

Not even two shots of Pfizer's finest can vaccinate you against the outbreak of celebrity news that's about to hit you Jew what's happening so if you're on Instagram or even Facebook you may notice and if you haven't noticed it yet you're probably going to notice it very soon um people commenting the phrase, nah, he tweaking, on so many different... Everything. Everything. Even like all the government COVID stuff yesterday that came through. Nah, he tweaking. I went to the stage where I was like, what does this mean? And I went and did what, it's

apparently the most popular search in America right now, is what does that mean? Yes. And I did that yesterday. I know. So basically the reason for this is skateboarder Tony Hawk is releasing 100 limited edition skateboards with a drop of his own blood in them. And the skateboards have kind of received... Yeah.

Like, I kind of think, yeah, because what's the video of that? So they basically got, they're taking out blood of Tony Hawk and then they mix it in with the paint. Yes. And then put it on the thing. But you're still like... That's a little bit weird. I mean, yeah.

Yeah. But he's sold them for $500 each, and I think they've all been sold. And Lil Nas X, he's a rapper. He's kind of recently come to fame in the last year or so. Old Town Road. Oh, yeah, Old Town Road. That's his song. A little while ago, he tried to release some Nike shoes with a drop of human blood in them,

and they were called Satan shoes. And then this kind of came with a little bit of backlash because, A, he didn't really get consent from Nike to release them. It wasn't like a collaboration. So there was a lawsuit involved in that. But while the reaction of Tony Hawk's skateboards has been reasonably positive, and then the reaction for his Satan shoes wasn't as positive. He tweeted about this, wasn't very happy, and then on an Instagram post about Tony Hawk's skateboards,

he commented, nah, he tweaking. And this got over 100,000 likes, basically. And this phrase basically means, nah, he's crazy, doesn't really agree with it. And so now it's been commented on everything. Everything. I think it started from Lil nazx's fans kind of coming behind him and liking the liking the comment nah he tweaking commenting on everything and now it's just built up and built up and built up people are posting it everywhere and it's taking over the comments

of so many different celebrities instagrams and Facebooks. And people are wondering whether, you know, some like Instagram bots are sort of contributing to this, but we don't think so. I'm reading his post here. It says, now that Tony Hawk's released skateboards with his blood painting on them and there's no public outrage, are you all ready to admit that you were never actually upset over the blood in the shoes?

Maybe it was for some other reason. Yeah. Which is fair enough. Yeah. If you look at his argument. Totally. And so many people have Googled, what does Nahi Tweekin mean,

that the US Google searches for this have overtaken the US Google searches for TikTok itself. So that's how many people are wondering what the heck that even means. So it's probably not going to go away for a while, but it's just one of those kind of, it's probably just a quick little trend that'll keep going. But it's good to know, because you're like,

have I missed out on something here? What's going on? Yeah, I know. You kind of go, oh, okay. Ben doesn't like to miss out on something. He likes to be across it all. Yeah, yeah. I bet you got into a deep hole yesterday.

I did. I did. I watched a little tiny old video. And then he would have gone, is it offensive to say it? No? Okay, it's safe to say. Yeah, you're right. And quickly, other news. The Spice Girls have reunited for the first time in over a year.

Nah, he tweaking. Nah, he tweaking. Is that what I meant to say? Is that right? Yeah, okay. Is that right? Have I offended anyone? Oh God, I hope not.

I hope not. Please. Do you want to hear about the Spice Girls? It's already ended there. No, you can. No, they've reunited because they're apparently launching their own online game, but Victoria Beckham says, nah, he tweaking. She doesn't want to be involved.

Spice Girls, online game. Victoria Beckham gives zero craps about the Spice Girls. I know. They just need to sit with that. Yeah. She's a better class with that. She's a better class of person. She'd be tweaking. Sorry.

And then there's five more you can hear to the hits. 7 o'clock, buckle up New Zealand. We've got Machu for 660. We've got new music from them and then we roll into five words for 5k and we don't stop playing until we give away $5,000. That's from 745 this morning on the hits new zealand's breakfast it's jono and ben

new zealand it is the hits you got jono and ben and now a half eaten loaf of vogel's bread has become the fourth most popular trade me auction of all time. So someone's just sold this a few days ago. Have a guess how much they sold. Half a loaf. I mean, Vogel's great. $150,000. You've done this. Anything below that.

So good. Anything below that is going to be less than impressive. It was a loaf of bread and it sold for $4,000. I thought it was quite impressive. But you've now said $150,000, so it's nowhere near as... Is it even newsworthy? Well, it was viewed the most amount of times

on Trade Me, sorry, viewed more than half a million times on Trade Me before it closed. And so a guy, a day from Cuppity decided he'd put it up there as, oh, kind of a bit of a joke during lockdown, just saying, I've got some bread, I'll put it up there. But he also is now giving the proceeds to the sale, split between Mike King's I Am Hope and Ronald McDonald House.

Oh, that's lovely. So, yeah. Why? Is there a Vogel shortage? No. It seemed like that KFC thing the other day, too, when the guy was selling the KFC beforehand. Day-old KFC.

I think that's still up there now, so I'm just waiting to win that auction. But, yeah, you can just go down to the petrol station and buy Vogels. So someone actually paid, like went through and deposited $4,000? Well, yeah, someone's bought it for $4,000, whether they put the money. And I hope they do now. He said it's going to charity. So yeah, $4,000. But not $150,000.

I'm sorry, Jono. Would have been more impressive. Would have been far cooler if it was $150,000. Juliet. Yes? Now next, what have we got coming up on the show? Machu Walters from 660. I'm glad someone knows.

Yeah, Machu Walters from 660 with his brand new song. Yeah, I know that's not your usual role to tell us what's coming up next on the show. Has your computer crashed again? Yes, he's joining us next, Jono. You know about that? Yeah, well, I do now, thanks to producer Julian. I've got new music. It's going to be pretty awesome.

We'll play it for you after this. Pyjamas all day, fine with us. Jono and Ben. New Zealand's breakfast. It's Get Lucky. It is the hits. Jono and Ben. We're very excited today because 660 got brand new music,

which we're going to play very shortly. It's epic. The song sounds incredible. And we're going to talk to the lead singer of 660, Machu Walters. Yeah, we've been given a number to call. Not sure if it's his personal number, but we're about to find out.

Oh, that's cool. Hello? Hey, is that Machu? Yes, it is. Machu, it's Chono and Ben here buddy How are you? Oh hey guys good How are you?

How are you guys doing? Oh listen If this is your personal cell phone number You're going to regret this We're going to be We're going to be phoning you for It's not We're going to be phoning you for traffic updates

Hey nice to talk to you man How you doing? Yeah you too You're all good man Locked down again With a baby this time Yeah I was going to say that Because it was May, right, that you had your first baby, which is awesome, but must make lockdown a little different to last year's. 100%, man. Not a lot of sleep.

You sound like a broken man. You're doing Saturday Night, but you're basically playing again Instagram Live, 660 Songs and other songs to Saturday Night, but you're going to add a few Wiggles and Dora the Explorer songs into the mix now you're a dad? Yeah, I've got to practice all those, man. Yeah. All that stuff. I know. Anika Moore's got that kiddies market sewn up.

Oh, she has, actually. Yeah. Tell her I'm coming for her. It's going. I know you guys have got a new song out today, PPR, which seems awesome. I got really emotional actually just watching a little clip on it. It seems like a really emotional song. Yeah, yeah, it is.

I'm glad people are responding to it that way. It's our first song written in Māori, which is exciting for us. We hold it really dear to us because, you know, a year or so ago, we did Don't Forget Roots in Māori for the Wire exciting for us and we hold it really dear to us because a year or so ago we did Don't Forget Roots in Māori for the Wire to Anthems album and that really opened the floodgate for us to explore more of Māori

language, which we were reluctant to do beforehand being obviously most of the majority of the band are Māori but we don't speak the language so there's always a little difficulty in feeling worthy of kind of tackling things like that. But so thankful to Hinewihi Mohe, who is the kind of brainchild around the Why To Anthems album. And we just, she gave us the blessing, went for it. And through our own kind of discovery of Māori, we were inspired to write the song Pepiha.

So for those who don't know, a Pepihā is basically like how you introduce yourself in Māori with reference to like landmarks and where you grew up and the people that are special to you. So it's kind of 101 if you're starting to learn Māori. I've been doing a weekly Tāreo course. Do you know about Pepihā? Yeah, we've been learning about Pepihā and you need to write one for yourself, and how you introduce yourself, and as you said, you link yourself to a mountain

or a river, or your whanau and your ancestors, which is awesome. But you've kind of written this one for basically all of Aotearoa. Yeah, so it's a little different take on the concept. Basically, we're saying, you know, mano is my mountain, aroha is my sea, whanau is my waka.

So the goal is to make it inviting and it's a pepiha for the people basically oh that's awesome we're going to play it very shortly after this chat now you guys also are 660 uh since we last talked the owners of the 660 house and your landlords now they're the landlords yeah are you doing inspections yet yeah turning up you know seeing if there's no couches being burned or anything like that, or the inspections haven't started? We were down, I think maybe a month ago before lockdown, and we did our first inspection.

And as we thought, it was a tip. And it was a good shake-up. I love the sentimental value of this purchase, but it seems like a shocking real estate decision, Machu. You guys have been all seriousness. I feel like you're turning the flat into something really, really cool. You've teamed up with the Tago Uni. Performing arts students are going to be living in it,

and almost like a scholarship-type situation, which is really, really cool. Yeah, 100%. We're really proud of that. Owning the house is something we've been kind of joked about and a bit of a pipe dream over so many years, but we're in a position now to do it, and we really couldn't have done it without teaming up with East High University.

And like you said, there's four kids a year to start. We think this is just the tip of the iceberg, but to start with next year, four kids are going to be able to live in 660 Castle Street. We're going to put a studio inside, like a little studio set up inside there. They're going to have access to us and there. They're going to have access to us and mentorship. They're going to have access to the Performing Arts Centre and

yeah, it's really proud of that. What a great way of giving back. It really is. You guys are always doing such good things. Ben was saying that I should start the John O'Prior School of Radio and Good. Why not?

No one wanted to attend it. No one wanted to. Who went to the auction? You surely didn't send Chris McAlog to the auction for 660? Well, it wasn't an auction. We basically just cold called the owner. Oh, right. And he was obviously reluctant to begin with,

but we sold him the idea of the dream and what we wanted to do with it, and he bought into the kind of romance of it. I imagine the current owner was like, it's who on the phone? Oh, 660, okay. So think of the price now and just double it. That'll be $8 billion. Yeah, they sold it at Eden Park,

they sold it at Western Springs, they had a movie. The price has gone up. Do you guys in all seriousness, do you sit back? I mean, you've had like, you know, the last few years with Eden Park, with the first band to play at Eden Park. You had the movie, you had the Western Springs.

I mean, so many huge events. Do you sit back now, particularly even in lockdown, and sort of reflect on those things? It's just not really in our nature to do that. I think one of the reasons we've kind of been able to do those things is we don't allow ourselves to stop and think back. It's really something we need to get better at. Well,

if you're not going to sit there and reflect on it, Ben and me will. We'll sit in your success and take it for you. Yeah, no, we are, you know, all of New Zealand's so proud of you guys.

And it's so awesome to see everything you're doing. And we can't wait to play the song right now for the first time on the hits. If you could, if you could do us a favor and introduce it, Machu. Yeah, cool. Kia ora, everybody. Machu here from the Mighty 660,

and you're listening to our brand-new song, Pepeha. Pepeha for the people. Ko aroha te moana, ko whanau tōku waka, ko au e tuatune. Mana is my mountain, and aroha is my sea. My mountain My Is I'll keep the home fires burning So you can see clear Nō konei koe Ko mana tōku maunga Ko aroha te moana

O whānau tōku waka Ko au e tuatune. Oh, how I see My Father is my God And all of that is me Oh, good morning, love And all of that is me Oh, what an epic song. It's Pepe Ha.

That's brand new from 660. First time playing that on the radio. Very, very cool. It is the hits. What sort of rays are the plugs emitting? I'm nervous. Now I take photos of the handbrake on in my car Don't even get me started on whether I left the iron on or not

I turn my phone off at night, I just don't know what it's doing Makes me nervous Yeah, but what if we run out of hand sanitiser? I'm nervous So nervous Yes, he's proudly the most nervous man in radio, Ben Boyce He's more nervous than Chris Hipkins after accidentally saying, spread your legs. Even that intro, to be honest, makes me nervous.

I love that intro. Because it builds up so much expectation for this. I'm like, what if I say now it's not worthy of an intro like that? So that's made me nervous. Even more nervous. You were nervous about your nervous segment? Yeah, well, yeah, I wasn't as nervous. But then the intro started playing.

I'm like, oh, what I've got here is not really worthy. If you're new to the show, BenBoyce is a poster boy for nervousness. And, you know, right now he's nervous, probably thinking about what germs are on that door handle over there. So-and-so, so-and-so. He's probably nervous about, you know, what gamma rays and luminous spheres are being emitted from the electrical equipment in the studio this morning. There's a lot of stuff that makes you nervous. But what's sitting on your mind this morning? Well, it's, you know, we're on lockdown at the moment.

Who knows how much longer that's going to be going for. And a lot of people saying you should binge watch shows, but shows I've found recently that shows that a lot of good shows that have been recommended to me with too many episodes and too many series just make me too nervous. Like to go into the fact of it, I'm like, oh, can I? It's always intimidating to go. You know, like I was looking, my wife's been watching Outlander.

Oh, yeah. Outlander. And it feels like she's been watching that for nine years. It's 67 episodes, five series of this. I'm like, when does this show end? You know, it's one of these things I've never watched. She's just watched. I'm like, oh, my God, you're still watching this.

And then, you know, someone recommended the other day, I think, was it Lucifer? I was like, oh, I watched that last night. 83 episodes. 83 episodes. Five seasons. Have I got time for 83 episodes? That makes me nervous.

Breaking Bad. You've seen Breaking Bad, right? I'm like, I need to watch that. Apparently amazing show. Yeah, the thing is, though? I need to watch that. Apparently amazing show. Yeah. The thing is, though, with these. 62 episodes. 62 episodes.

I'm like, 62 episodes. You need to get on them when they're running hot. Yeah. When everyone's on the train. Yeah. If you let that train take off, you're never going to. You're never going to catch it. You missed it.

You know me. When I start something, I'm kind of like, I've got to get done. Just got to get done. You know? And it's like, read a book. It'll relax you. And I'm like, now I start reading start something i'm kind of like i've got to get done just got to get done you know like man is like read a book or relax you and i'm like now i'm now i start reading a book i'm like i've got to finish it i'm reading it like four in the morning still reading this book he's more jumpy than a trampoline this guy he's like you can't put it down i know but you've started it now i just need to finish this damn book you know i'd rather not start a book than be starting a book it's going against the opposite of what relaxing

and reading a book's meant to do I know Reading a book Why did you get me started on this book? Reading a book is not meant to wind you up I need to find out what happens It's not why they invented books Yeah The other thing is too Ben Boyce What is the ideal amount of episodes for you?

So you want producers to make less episodes Of their international Well there's White Lotus I've started watching this Yeah So far And it's six episodes I'm like I can go into this going

That I can watch this. That's an achievable number. I can achieve this. And I won't be like there four weeks later still going, oh, jeez, I'm still watching the White Lotus. So six episodes is a good number? It doesn't intimidate me. It doesn't make me nervous.

Even though so far I've got two episodes in, I'm like, oh, I'd like a little bit more action to be coming along. I'm like, come on, guys. It's building to something. Let's build it faster. I'm still like, okay, I'll give it. It's only six episodes. He's a pacey guy. He likes pace. Yeah. Like even with our TV show, come on, guys. It's building to something. Let's build it faster. I'm still like, okay, I'll give it. It's only six minutes. He's a pacey guy.

He likes pace. Like, even with our TV show, we're editing this. He's like, oh, I've lost it. You've lost me. You've lost me. I'm like, mate, we're only 30 seconds into the show. Yeah, no, I've tuned off. I've tuned off.

You're like, you were in there. You're like, yeah, I'm out. Yeah, no, you've lost me. No, you've lost me. Make it quicker. How quick do you want the episode to be? 25 seconds? He loves

a pacey number, this guy. Well, you know, we've all got time. We're all busy people, aren't we? You've lost me. That's his favourite line. Nah, you've lost me. You've lost me, guys. You've lost me. You've lost me. That is what's making me nervous today. It's Jono and Dan and their

5 Words for 5K Must Win Week. It's been a while since we've had a winner on 5 Words for 5K so we decided this week was a must win week and we gave ourselves until this moment to try and give away the money and if we don't give it away, or we haven't we haven't so far, we're just going to keep playing until the money is given away Yep, that's how the game's going to work this morning, so Angela

you are our last hope the bastion, the light that's how the game's going to work this morning. So, Angela, you are our last hope. The bastion, the light that could end the madness before it begins. Whereabouts are you calling from this morning, Ange? In Auckland. What do you do, bruh? I work at a medical clinic. Oh, you're out there. Yeah.

Putting yourself at risk. Yeah, every day. How busy is it at the moment for you, Ange? We're pretty busy doing lots of COVID-19 things. Sorry, Ange, your phone's a bit watery, mate. Are you able to just talk right into the old mouthpiece there, buddy? Yep. That's good, that's good.

Yeah, so you're pretty flat out at the moment, I imagine. Yeah, we are. And, of course, we're just trying to keep safe as well. Yeah. Well, you keep safe, and I'll tell you what would make you better. And it would probably cure this pandemic, because if Ben won you or I win you $5,000 cash. That would be big help along the road.

All right. Okay, you need to make the big decision, Ange. Who is going into the soundproof booth? Now, bearing in mind, if you don't win right now, this is the same individual who will be locked in a... Oh, this is how it's going to work. Locked in a novelty radio booth from now until

the end of time, potentially. Potentially, yes. It would have to be Ben. Oh, Ben's going in! This is it. I'm going in there and I'm not coming back. Say goodbye to your family. Oh, okay. Can I take a computer in? What'm going in there and I'm not coming back? Say goodbye to your family. Oh, okay. Can I take my computer in?

What can I take? My phone? What am I allowed to? Yeah, you can take your computer in. I don't know. What do you want to look at on your computer, mate? Watch some Netflix. Yeah.

I'm not allowed to? He's going in. Okay. All right. Ben Boyce is heading into the soundproof booth. Who knows? By the time you get out, the pandemic might be over. It could be a bonus.

As he locks the door, the soundproof booth is shut. And Angela, you know how the game works. Yes. The first word that comes into your head, that sweet, sweet head of yours, Angela, that beautiful, flawless head. When I say salt. Pepper. Wrist, as in W-R-I-S-T.

Watch. Word number three, puffer. Mmm, inhaler. Orange. Inhaler Orange Peel Electric Wire You did well Ed

Can I change orange peel to orange juice? Orange juice Alright, you happy with your five words, Ange? Yes You did well Thank you I'm proud of you You've done the team of five million proud this morning, Ange

Let's see if Ben can do you the honour of giving you $5,000 cash As we unleash him from the soundproof booth for the first time this morning. Oh, you've got a microphone in there. Headphones on? Oh, good. What is this witchcraft? You're talking to me from in there. Can you hear me? You're there. I can't hear myself, but hopefully I'm on air.

You're on air, Ben. Oh, good. That's alright. Okay, so Angela's had a crack. She's done a good job. I can't really hear you either That's the slight problem Oh well don't tell us this now Oh there you go I can hear you now Okay we're coming through

All I can see is Producer Behub's going Talk talk And I'm like good But no one I can't hear anyone Hey Ben Ben don't worry

We'll just edit all this stuff out Okay It's not like we're live Or anything at the moment Alright let's do it Let's win Ange $5 thousand dollars the first word was salt pepper good start ange wrist w-r-i-s-t watch yes all right that's it two from two, Ange. Puffer. Jacket. And that's where the journey ends for you, Ange.

I'm so sorry. What did you say? What did you say, Ange? Inhaler. Oh, of course, inhaler. Yeah, orange was word number four. Oh, orange Fanta. And electric was the fifth and final word Car

Ben Do you want to get out of there? Yes I do Are you actually playing this properly bro? Oh Ange I'm so sorry not for you Keep safe out there And can I say on behalf of Aotearoa Thank you very much for being out there

And an essential worker, Ange. Thank you kindly. All the best. You guys have a great day. You too. Keep safe. Well, I probably won't. I'm in here in the booth, but anyway.

All right. Bye. What happens between you and the soundproof booth stays between you and the soundproof booth, Ben, but just bear in mind there is a glass door. Okay, so we can see what's going on in there. That's it. The train has left the station.

Five words continues on until we give away the cash. 0800 the hits if you want to play next. You guys can't leave until the game is won. Yes, that is what is happening today. I'm stuck in the soundproof booth and I won't be getting out until we give away the $5,000. But just

quickly, of course, the Paralympics are on at the moment and Sophie Pascoe won silver yesterday. That's her 16th medal across four Paralympics. How incredible is she? Oh, amazing. Considering, too, Lisa Carrington did extremely well with six medals total for the Olympics just a few weeks ago. 16 is insane. Michael Phelps had 28. Wow. I think if Sophie keeps charging, she'll surpass Phelpsie. I don't know why I'm calling him Phelpsie like he was a dear friend of mine. Sophie Pascoe, after coming second and getting

silver yesterday in the Paralympics, was very emotional. She's away from her family. It was her mum's birthday and she had this to say. Sorry. It's hard to cry with these on um yeah i mean i just want to thank everyone that's been able to get me to this point and it comes down to my core support network that has been with me from day one and oh what a lovely lady new zealand's so proud of her and all our athletes and the Paralympics keeps rolling on. So we'll be in lockdown over the weekend probably, so enjoy that.

We were watching the guy who was playing table tennis, but he held the bat in his mouth. Oh, he's from Egypt. He's incredible, yeah. And when you think about the athletic ability that's required from these athletes to pull off their sports, it's more impressive probably than the Olympics. It's amazing, isn't it? It's amazing, yeah.

And the guy from Brazil who swam backstroke with no arms. Yeah, and got silver. And got silver. Incredible stuff. Next on the show, as we said before, five words, 5K. I am stuck self-isolating in the soundproof booth. Hopefully I'll be getting out. We are streaming it live on the Hits Breakfast Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Pornhub, you name it.

Well, it's fricking frustrating, actually, because you're trying to do physio over a screen coming out. Oh, that's tough. My massage skills are really shit over a screen. Oh, do you instruct people on what to do? Yeah, I try

to. Sometimes I try and get their partners or their kids involved. Ah, the kids are shocking masseuses. I mean, yeah, my kids have given it a crack before. I'm like, you're not getting these knots out, kids. And they're like, we're only children. Okay, Hayley, let's try and win you five grand, shall we? Okay.

What would you spend $5,000 on, Hayley? Well, I'm currently coming to you live from a tablet because I smashed my phone on the first day of lockdown. Oh, my God. I can't tell that you're coming from a tablet. Well, it's ridiculous. I have to use two hands to answer my phone. Are you holding it up to your ear? I'm not actually right now.

I'm holding it in front of me, but it does look ridiculous. And especially for telehealth, it's really... Yeah. I like a comically large phone. Yeah, I do too phone You'd love this Hayley And you just got a 10 week old baby too Congrats

Five words if you're keen to get involved and have a crack. Give us a bell this morning. You guys can't leave until the game is won. Yeah. It's just gone nine o'clock. Jono and Ben we're still with you. Why?

I'm in a soundproof booth. Why? Well hopefully this will explain more. Aotearoa. It's been a long time since our last lockdown. New Zealand will move to alert level four. It's also been a long time since we've unlocked some five words cash. Well, this week, the endless disappointment stops

as Jono and Ben enter alert level winning. Someone call Chris Hickens and tell him that legs aren't the only thing spreading this week. For people to get outside and to spread their legs. Man, it's like... We're also spreading our wallets wide open. That's right. This week is a five words for $5,000 must win week.

Oh my God, yes, yes, yes! Come Friday, if we haven't had a winner... One of us will self-isolate and lock down in the soundproof booth. Until the cash is eradicated. And if winning a cluster of free cash isn't your thing, we're sorry to burst your bubble. And just like lockdown, it's all this week. And depending on how we go, we'll maybe still in the booth next week. Possibly the following week and the one after that.

Maybe after that. That's where we're at and we are up to game number eight. Ben Boyce is in the soundproof booth. You can see it all streaming live. Head along to the Hits Breakfast on Facebook. Join us on there. We'd love to chat with you on there. And you can play, too, on the radio.

Yeah, but she's not a front-line front-liner, you know? I would nominate my friend Sarah in Christchurch. She's a nurse in the children's ward. Oh, that's lovely. Ben, who would you nominate for an ISA legend? I don't know. I've said so many words. After I heard that, I was like, I hope he's not coming to me.

And he did. I was like, he won't. Oh, he won't now because he went to Juliet. And he did. He came to me and I didn't have an answer. I nearly didn't have an answer either. You know who I'd nominate for an Ice Legend? No, I don't.

I'd nominate you. You. Look at you, the essential worker over there with his shirt half unbuttoned, trying to win $5,000 for the good people of Aotearoa. Next, if you want to play our game Five Words for 5K, I'll hopefully have some better words to say next. Please don't come to me.
