Just when you thought you couldn't get enough of Jono and Ben, you can have them anywhere, anytime. Welcome to the Jono and Ben podcast. Welcome to the podcast intro. Brainstrust is in here.

When I say the Brainstrust, producer B Humps. Morning. Morning. He's just planning Ben Boyce's Scarehouse movie marathon this Thursday You are watching five of the world's scariest movies in a row for Halloween and every fright you get you'll lose money

off a $10,000 prize pool which we'll give away on Friday, the remainder of Now I was actually just reading on Ladbible they have done a similar thing overseas where they've looked at the scariest five movies and three of our five were in there. Well we got

the voice of Ghostface from the Scream movies to announce the top five movies today that have been voted on. Three out of the five. What two are we missing out of interest? So a scientific study carried out in the UK got participants to watch 50 of the best horror films ever made.

Oh, God, that's your worst nightmare. Yeah, I know. The results show which movies elevated the average heart rate and tracked the highest spikes of each movie to determine which films had the biggest jump scares. So these are the five that they decided from the 50 people that were the five scariest movies that gave them the most frights. Number five, Paranormal Activity is the one you're making me watch. That's in there. Number four, Hereditary, which is not one that we are watching.

Well, you gave me the bios for these, didn't you? Number three, The Conjuring, which is one you're making me watch. Number two, Insidious. And number one, Sinister, which you're making me watch as well. So I think there's three out of the five I'm watching. Someone suggested The Human Centipede. No, I've never watched The Human Centipede. No, I haven't either.

I know the plot line to it. It is grotesque. Scary for other reasons. Yeah, so he sows one mouth onto another's, and while it's just constantly feeding itself, I'm gathering. So the first person has a mince and cheese pie. And then the other one.

Eventually it passes. Anyway, yeah. Who opted in for that centipede? Imagine being eighth on the centipede. Is it that many in there? I guess it would be. I've never seen it. Have you seen the human centipede bee humps?

No. No. It sounds just traumatic. But we're not making you watch that. Not making you watch that. But we spoke to the guy who does, as I mentioned, the voice of Ghostface in Scream. He was Roger L. Jackson.

Wonderful. Amazing voice, yeah. He was the actual voice talking to the actors on set. And they kept him away from it. You like scary movies? He liked Drew Barrymore and that. So he was actually having a conversation with them at the time. Yeah liked Drew Barrymore and that, so he was happy to be having a conversation with them at the time, yeah.

We found out a fun fact when she was filming that scene that they didn't unplug the phone, so she kept dialing 911 and screaming down the phone. Yeah. And they were like, well, they sent the police out, I think, as you would do. Yeah. Yeah, pretends that was a movie set.

Roger, I always like talking to voiceover artists because you get their, because he's not just done the scream voice he's also been on the Powerpuff Girls on Cartoon Network he's done a number of other things

but you get all their voices yeah because that's they know what you want yeah I know we know we want to hear them even when we were like the scream thing

we were like what was it like did you get into character and he just started getting into character like scary yeah that's what we want that's what we came for

we knew it we knew it you We knew it. You always feel like you're talking to multiple people, though, when you talk to a voiceover artist. You're like, I think it's a conversation with six different people here. Anyway, enjoy the podcast. You go and have a wonderful Tuesday. It's a short week.

Let's look on the positive of life. Glass half full. Yeah, maybe day 70 of lockdown. But we're here. Yeah. We're here. All right. Positive. But we're here. Yeah. We're here. All right. Positive.

New Zealand's breakfast. This is Jono and Ben on the Heads. Good morning, New Zealand. Welcome along to the program. It is a Tuesday morning after a long weekend. How's everyone doing? Refreshed, recouped. How are you feeling, Jo?

Good, good. Refreshed, recouped. Ben Boyce, refreshed, recouped? Yeah, I guess, I guess. I don't know. Or ragged and run down. What are you? Well, no, you kind of feel refreshed, recouped? I guess, I guess. Or ragged and run down, what are you? Well no, you kind of feel refreshed and recouped after a three day weekend until you get up in the morning of work and then you're like, oh I could have done with more sleep last night. All that recouping and refreshness just disappears, doesn't it?

With one sound of an alarm. My armpits are burning this morning. I don't know what's going on. Trying a new deodorant and I was not agreeing with my underarms. I didn't want to try the new deodorant. It wasn't my deodorant. Do you know how you've had your deodorant? Yeah.

Do you just stick with the same smell? Yeah, pretty much. Do you? I've run this one consistently for 10 years, but it wasn't available. Oh. Tried a new one, and my armpits are like, hey, buddy. We are not used to this. Have you had the same deodorant for a number of years, Julianne?

I actually change it up a bit. I stick with the same brand, but I change the different smells up a bit. For the majority of your teenage years, you run an Africa, a Lynx Africa, don't you? Cool Charm as well. Yeah. Very popular. Good times. The smell of puberty, those two.

But then you grow into an adult, don't you? And then you dip your toes into the Rexona category. Let me pick your deodorant. I reckon toes into the Rexona category. What are you? Let me pick your deodorant. I reckon you're a Rexona or Black Sky. No. I actually, I use like the Dove. Same.

Just the roll-on. It's not, it hasn't got a lot of fragrance to it, but it's quite good. My wife and I both actually use it. We share the deodorant. Do you? Oh, do you? Is it a roll-on jobby? It's a roll-on, yeah.

So we've got that, yeah. So it's kind of like, it's like a fragrance that doesn't have a huge fragrance to it. And it actually works quite well because then you put cologne on or perfume on over top. Remember I borrowed your roll-on once. Yeah, and everyone thought it was quite weird. I was like, oh, it doesn't really matter. It doesn't worry me. Do you think that's weird that I rolled on?

Um, maybe? A little bit. Yeah. A little bit. Deodorant shit to start the show. Hey, we've got a big show today. $10,000 up for grabs this week because it is Halloween. So on Thursday, I'm going to watch the five scariest movies.

It's voted by you. And after 8 o'clock on the show, we have the guy who was the ghost face in Scream. Yeah. We've got him. The guy, hey, you like scary movies? The scary mask, the ghost face. Yeah, he's joining us after 8 o'clock this morning, not only to talk about what it's like being in screen,

but also he's going to announce the five movies that I need to watch. That you're going to be watching. Yeah, that's coming up after 8. Jono and Ben, just like family. The family members you're ashamed of. The weekend, three days. Juliette, you name the best thing you did over those three days. Oh, drink some alcohol.

Oh, really? Yeah, that was really, really nice. Well, where you're located in Aotearoa, team of five million, hashtag love you all, be kind. You've got another option. Are we still being kind? Are we still? Oh, no, no, we're turning feral now.

I feel like being kind has been forgotten somewhere along the last few weeks. Yeah, we've gone vicious. You're like, hey, yeah, stop that now. We've been kind for a while now. Be vicious. Ben Boyce, best thing you did? Well, a couple of things stand out. One, we put up some Halloween decorations because the kids are very excited about Halloween,

but also a little bit gutted that it's not going to be quite like Halloween's of other years. So we put up the decorations in the hallway. It looks awesome. There's cobwebs and all sorts of plastic skeletons hanging down and stuff like that. But now the kids are quite freaked out when they go to bed because it's just outside a horror house yeah they're like out in the middle of the night they're like i don't want to leave my room there's a whole lot of horror just outside the hallway same with our the kids are just crazy for halloween yeah we've got pumpkins and witches we've got this witch that goes toil and and trouble, every time you walk past her.

Oh, really? Oh, that sensory-activated thing. Yeah, sensory. It's just a big, ugly witch that hangs on the door. But even this morning, I was wandering around getting ready for work. Oh, God. And that's the problem with all of these decorations, Ben, isn't it? They drive you batty after a few weeks.

Yeah, the Christmas ones that sing songs and all sorts of birthday cards as well. They make you hate Christmas eventually, don't they? Because you leave them up through January. No one ever pulls down their decorations before the end of January. No, you're right. I had a moment over the weekend where I was like, geez, this is really

telling we're at 60-something or 70 days of lockdown. I went to the fridge and I saw like a Thousand Island dressing. And I was like, oh yeah, we had some in there. And then I was like, Celebrity Treasure Thousand Island. And then I got the kids and we filmed a little thing in the backyard, like a parody of Celebrity Treasure Island. It was quite fun.

But at the same time, halfway through, I was like, why are we doing this? What was the format though? Were they all battling it out for a bottle of Thousand Island? Yeah, that was the format though? Were they all battling it out for a bottle of Thousand Island? Yeah, that was the format of the thing We filmed it like a trailer of a show that doesn't exist And it was like, halfway through it was fun Who won? Well no one won, it was still the car

No one wins on Celebrity Thousand Island It was down to the final three contestants I was hosting it so it was down to the final three contestants Oh I was hosting it, so it was down to the final three contestants. Oh, I see. He's just trying to force himself into a TV gig. What are you hosting? I'm hosting the new Celebrity Thousand Island. Yeah, I'm hosting it.

What are they doing? They're battling it out for a bottle of... The dog was one of the celebrities making up the numbers. As well. What were the challenges? Oh, they were just like a real cut. There was a puzzle challenge

because they always do puzzles, so we just tipped a puzzle on their lawn and that was that was just a shot it was just a shot and a montage and another one where they were jumping over these things the dog ran around you know so it was just you know it was just the idea to get the show off the ground and you know will it get picked up for series two then you know oh god it's bleak isn't it when you when your tv show finishes you're filming sketches yeah in your backyard no reason and then at the end of it i like it felt like i just did a big ad for Thousand Island. I was like, what did we just do then?

I mean, it's a great source, don't get me wrong. I love it. I'm a fan of it. If you put it on twice, have you got Two Thousand Island? Is that how it works? Doubling up? Too many islands. Great.

Speaking of Celebrity Treasure Island, Brinley Stent, she was eliminated last night. She's disappeared from the show, but she's appearing on this one this morning before 7 o'clock. Yeah, it is the hits. You got it, Jono and Ben? Scrolling through your feed. One, two, three, four.

News and slightly out-of-date information is what we've come here for. That's right. Ben Boyce, what's happening? Well, 90% vaccination. That's the goal before we can get out of the lockdown or before we can open up the country properly again. The COVID cases, while they went over 100 again yesterday, the vaccination rates over the long weekend slowed down a bit,

which is not the best, but I guess... Because we weren't doing a vaxathon, mate. We weren't handing out flat-screen TVs, buddy. Do you know, I hear it's... Oh, COVID's dipped its toes into Blenheim. Oh, yeah, there was a case that popped up in the South Islands for the first time in, well, yeah, almost a year, right? Yeah. So far, it looks, fingers crossed, that hasn't spread anywhere else.

But, yeah, a little bit of a scary wake up, I guess, for the South Island. So wake up to that news. You sent me a picture, a lovely screenshot of a guy we know, Ty, who was on the news getting vaccinated in South Auckland. Lots of people seen the picture of this. So Friday night's news, Ty, who we met a few years ago, he wanted to get a tattoo of our faces. Oh, this guy!

Yeah, and we were like, oh, don't do that. He's a lovely guy. He's a road worker, isn't he, Ty? Yeah, we were flattered by it. We were like, hey, we're like, okay, don't do it. We tried to talk him out of it, but he's like, no, I'm doing it regardless, I'm paying. And we're like, well, at the very least, let us pay for it

or get it sorted. Yeah, so we sorted it out for him. How self-indulgent is that? We will pay for our own tattoo of you. Yeah, well, at least he can go, I didn't pay for it. Yeah, so it's a portrait. It looks really cool, actually. Yeah, it was done really well. Yeah, like a picture of the two of us on his arm, on his arm, top of his shoulder.

And on the news getting vaccinated, he rolled up his sleeve in the car, and there we are. Oh, my goodness. A few people were like, what? You know, sitting in front of it going, is this legit? What is this? Did you bully this guy? No, no, no, no.

It was all his idea. To be honest, when he came to us, we were like, what? Yeah. Anyway, pro-vax, clearly. Jono and Ben getting jabbed in the arm. Jab on the jab, I thought. Jono and Ben, there's something about that. You know, it works out well. He's a wonderful guy.

We'll try to track him down. I can't. Ty, if you're listening, give us a call. 0800-THIS. Don't have his number anymore. We'll put that footage up on our Instagram page at some stage on the Hits Breakfast so you can see that yourself. And Ed Sheeran, over the weekend, it was announced

poor guy's got COVID. And he's still in the middle of his press tour for his new album, which is out this week. Now his press tour just involves him sitting in his house though. Yeah. Now we are playing an interview with Ed Sheeran this coming Friday for his album launch. And we

actually came in on Thursday night last week to interview him. And we're over in on Thursday night last week to interview him. And we're over Zoom. And you've spoken to Ed Sheeran a couple of times before. Usually upbeat, bright, bubbly. But you could tell he looked like he'd been hit by a bus. He was exhausted. Yeah, and we were like,

we'll put it down to he was doing 14 hours of interviews. He was talking about having a new baby. So obviously not getting a lot of sleep. But now you're like, oh, poor guy has probably had COVID. He's battling COVID, yeah. Yeah, wow. not getting a lot of sleep. But now you're like, oh, poor guy. He's probably had COVID. He's battling COVID. Yeah. Wow.

That's rough. It was pretty much the next day. It was announced that he had COVID. So hopefully he's doing a lot better. You know you're going to be battling when he's like, hey, guys, how are you? Oh, my God, I know. I was like, the poor guy. We felt bad.

We were like, should we just let you go and go get a rest or something? Yeah. So Ed Sheeran. He's like, oh, just let you go and go get a rest or something? Yeah. So Ed Sheeran. He's like, oh, you know, I've got a young baby. And it's like, Jesus, guys, this is the trenches.

Yeah, we're announcing your movies with the guy who was Ghostface and Scream

after 8 o'clock this morning, so we'll get to that very shortly. But first of all... Jono's internet wormhole. Oh, like a textbook golf shot. He's a ball in a hole. And the internet wormhole I got lost in on, I actually started, believe it or not, reading an article about Joe Biden's exercise regime.

Oh, yeah. No, President Joe Biden's exercise regime. You know he's getting up at 8.30 every morning? Really? I thought for a president, you might be up a little earlier. Oh, really? 8.30 in the morning, then he goes... That seems quite leisurely, doesn't it?

I thought so. And then he does a little bit of stuff on a treadmill, goes on a Peloton bike. I mean, good on him. I mean, if any other guy had his age, you'd be like, I don't want to be something about, but he's a president. So maybe you feel like he should be up a little earlier.

You know you're closer to the finish line of life when after all of that, you're having a daily meeting with a doctor. And that's part of his ratio. Anyway, what other side article? I've got Cyclit. You might be interested in. You know those ones?

Yeah. 42 pages later, I've ended up with horror movie facts, Ben Boyce. Oh, okay. Quite timely this week. First one is Scream, coincidentally. And we're, as we we mentioned talking to ghostface from scream after eight o'clock this morning but did you know that phone scene drew barrymore and ghostface this one right here what's your favorite scary movie halloween you know the one with the

guy in the white mask who walks around and stalks babysitters you never told me your name why do you want to know my name i want to know who i'm looking at. She's very obliging in their phone call. Almost too obliging. For someone that she doesn't really know, she's really talking away to them, aren't you? She's a telemarketer's dream. That's what you would be like, though, Connor. You would.

You would. Exactly. You would be. Guy's supposed to be like, oh, you know what, I'll try someone else. You seem like too much hard work. Go down there, don't go, go. Don't go, mate. What sort of deodorant do you use?

Oh, go down. Do, do, do. You would. Exactly you. Yeah, but anyway, Drew Barrymore. So she's on the phone during that, but the production assistant didn't actually unplug the phone. So during it, she dialed 911 multiple times, and then they would answer, and she'd be like, ah, screaming.

Oh, no way. And the police got sent out. And then they would answer and she'd be like, Screaming. Oh, no way. And the police got sent out. And they're like, is everything right here? And they're like, yes, it's just Drew Barrymore screaming down the phone at you. Oh, wow, okay. In a movie called Scream, ironically. Jeez, you would have thought they would have not plugged in the phone.

No, they say people drop balls, don't they? The next one, 28 Days Later. Have you seen that movie, the British one? Oh, is it zombies? Yes. Zombies. And there's a that movie, the British one? Oh, is it zombies? Yes. Yes. Zombies. And there's a shot there of the M1 motorway, which is, I think, the busiest stretch of

road in the UK. Yeah. And it's empty, completely empty, to set up the movie that is post-apocalyptic zombie sort of scenario. And they just needed about 20 seconds of shot, apparently. And so the police got involved, and they did one of 20 seconds of shot apparently. And so the police got involved and they did one of those rolling barricades. So they slowed traffic down to about 20 k's an hour

and they're like, right, traffic's slowed down. And they only had one shot to do it in. Really? Wow. Obviously it happened before COVID because during the COVID, you know, the lockdowns, you probably had plenty of No one on the roads Well you said there's that wonderful scene in the morning show

On Apple TV Yeah, so a new series of that which stars Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon Yeah, it's New York City Obviously in lockdown And they fly a drone through the city And it's amazing seeing Times Square Which normally is packed and heaving No one's there

It's pretty cool. It's just the pigeons. Psycho, one of the first horror movies to be made. It was 1960. It was all filmed in black and white. Did you know? The first movie to feature a toilet. Oh, really?

Because there's a famous shower scene, right? Yeah. And then the blood goes down the drain, which isn't blood. It's Hershey's chocolate syrup. It's all in black and white. You don't even know. Horror movie facts with your old mate, Japes. I've called myself Japes now.

And then The Exorcist. You know The Exorcist? Oh, yeah. You seen that? Yeah. Well, no, I haven't seen it, but I know the story, right? So the little girl's possessed and they're trying to get the thing out of her, whatever's in the demon. And the bed's shaking.

There's a bed shaking. It was a mechanical bed and it shook so violently and so much that the actor Linda Blair fractured her spine. Really? So she was screaming and they thought, oh, Linda, bloody good acting. Phone the Academy Awards. And it was because she'd broken her spine. Goodness me. Oh, my God.

There you go. Some horror movie facts. That's scary. That's scary. And that's not even the scary part of the movie. Hey, we've got Brinley Stent joining us next from Celebrity Treasure Island. The latest no longer on the show. It is the hits.

You've got Jono and Ben. You're on the hits. Jono and Ben in your Tuesday morning last night on Celebrity Treasure Island. One of the last few contestants. Of course, she got eliminated. Brinley Stent, comedian and actor. We love Brinley and she joins us right now. How's it going, Brin?

Oh, hey, old mate. How you doing? Good. Thank you for getting up early for us. We really appreciate it. You're welcome. You have to do it all the time. Who are you waking up in your flat at the moment?

Is Chris Parker asleep? He's on another radio station, remember? He's on the Varival radio station. You want to talk about that? No, mate, you want to give that a plug, do you? Yeah. So he's waking you up now. Yeah, that's the one.

That's the one. It's five something every morning. Now, actually, you have been on the show. Obviously, it shows how close mates you are with Chris Parker, a fellow comedian. You've known him for many, many years. You've been friends for how long? We've been friends since we were 14, 15. And I won't tell you how many years it is because that will tell you how old I am.

But many, many years since we were weird, nerdy, drama freak teenagers. Did a performance of Three Little Pigs at one stage together? I was reading about that last night. You delved very deep into the archives. Yes, we did. Who was the wolf? Who was the big bad wolf? Oh, you know it had to be Chris.

Yes, right. You know I would never be a big bad wolf. No, he's got wonderful lung capacity too, Chris, to blow down any form of house, any construction. Hey, Bryn, sad to see you go on CTI last night, as they call it in the industry, Celebrity Treasure Island. Were you gutted to be ejected from the island? Oh, you know, yes and no.

I mean, it's definitely like an emotional time, but at the same time, there is a certain amount of relief that you don't have to be on the island anymore eating rice and beans. You're living off the land. You were so good on there, though. And amazingly, you knocked out Art Green. I mean, that was pretty awesome. Oh, my gosh, that was one of my highlights of the entire competition,

to be honest. No offence to Art. I mean, I love the guy. Man, he was the one to watch, so I was like, I'm a monster killer. You should have seen my ego after that. They do a good job of building up the drama, Brinley. Do you find? I imagine most of the time you're all getting along laughing and joking,

but the TV show is like, jeez, this is an intense island. No, it is pretty intense, to be honest, because you just get in the mode of it, really. I mean, it is a silly pirate game, and you have to remind yourself of that, because you're removed from all your, you know, your loved ones and everything.

You've got no phones. So you just get too intense, too into the game, you know, and you have to check yourself every like other day being like, calm down.

Well, last night, last night, Bernal was watching and you were like, let's do an arm wrestle. I mean, what stage are you at

when you're like, hey, let's do arm wrestles? Oh, you're at like boredom level, level you know a hundred that you've asked everyone every question under the sun now um it was uh it was awesome to see you on the show as we said and obviously the charity uh leukemia and blood cancer new zealand means so much to you yeah absolutely yeah it's like i say on the show but my mom had it it when I was in my teen years and then sadly passed away from it. So it meant so much and it was so cool to be able to do something,

I don't know, active towards that and actually give a little bit of money to them, which was cool. Yeah, well, it's a great drive for you all to give it your all in those somewhat redundant, pointless challenges. Yeah, yeah. We'll go like cookie down your face for your head, Mum. Yeah, the cookie. You're like, what?

We're putting a cookie from our foreheads into our mouth? Okay. Yeah. Now, sorry, I was just going to say, when you're doing your challenges, my son Oscar, he's a huge fan of the show, so we all watch it. But you've got Matt Chisholm, the host.

He's like yelling in your face, who's doing the mahi? Team, you know. Brindley's in the face, who's doing the Mahi? Team Mahi? Brindley's in the drink. No, my huggy, my huggy. You know, he's giving you, does that get off-putting when you're trying to concentrate?

It's either a help or a hindrance, depending on what he's saying, which I imagine it's like for, you know, any sport. But if he's saying bad things about you, you turn to him, you're like, shut up, Matt, I'm doing okay. Yeah, it's like a... Yeah, and if he's like, you're putting these in the lead,

then you're like, yeah, I am, thank you. It kind of gives you a little boost. It's having a spectator just yelling in your face the whole time. Yeah, yeah. He's so good at that job, man. He's like a little Rolodex. He just continues on and on and on and on. Energize somebody.

Oh, Rolodex. Brunley, before you go, I want to play a quick game with you. We've got some audio from Celebrity Treasure Island, some stuff that you've said, and we've beeped out a word. We want to see if you remember what word you were saying. Here's the first one. It's the awesome foursome and old Uncle Buck. Oh, jeez.

We're on this radio thing? What were you saying? Old Uncle what? Old Uncle Buck. Yeah, well done. It was Old saying? Old Uncle what? Old Uncle Buck. Yeah, well done. It was Old Uncle Buck. Thankfully it was Old Uncle Buck. I'm going to use that from now on as a swear word replacement.

Here's the next one. I've been asking for some s*** this whole time. We've made you sound filthy. Well, I was removed from my partner For three weeks Was this nachos? I can't remember what food it was I've been asking for some meat and vegetables

The whole time You must say so much stuff you just forget And the final one, here we go I think this was Jess talking about you and Chris And I know that they have a huge Stuff you just forget. Totally. And the final one, here we go. I think this was Jess talking about you and Chris. And I know that they have a huge... I mean, all I can think of is that she wants us to bone. Well, let's see if that was what she was talking about. And I know that they have a huge alliance.

Not quite as exciting. It's always the alliance. I mean, it's just similar. I mean, that's what alliances are in a way, right? You marry the ultimate alliance. Right. Hey, Brinley, you did such a wonderful job on Celebrity Treasure Island. You're a wonderful human being and even better for getting up before 7 o'clock this morning.

Thanks, guys. Missed you, Pete. You too, girl. Catch up with you soon. Yeah, bye. Spy. The What's Up Spy.co.n Yeah bye Time for your daily dose of vitamin C celebrity Jew what's happening? So you may have seen over the weekend that James Michael Tyler

who played Gunther from Friends unfortunately passed away at the age of 59. Really sad there really sad. Yeah really sad from prostate cancer. So he earned his role. The reason why he first came on Friends was on the set he was a barista and he made coffee for people. And then they needed someone to play a barista in the series. And they were like, well, maybe you could do it. Initially, he had no lines.

All he had to do was, all he was was a cameo initially, really. And so they needed a character who knew sort of how to use a coffee machine. But despite this, he actually never made coffee while he was filming because the coffee machine itself was too loud. It was quite noisy. And the steam when you do the frothing as well. So while he knew how to make it in real life, he didn't actually have to make it when he was acting. So the reason they got him there,

he never even used those skills. Was he an actor? No, he wasn't. He was a barista. But then he became an iconic character from the show. And he went on to appear in 148 of the 236 episodes in Friends. Many of the Friends stars have paid tribute to him on social media. Jennifer Aniston has said that Friends

wouldn't be the same without him. Courtney Cox said the size of gratitude you brought into the room and showed every day on set is the size of gratitude I hold for having known you. Obviously he had a secret crush on Rachel throughout the series and then Jennifer

Aniston as part of her tribute on Instagram posted the moment where he told her character he loved her I know you're you're leaving tonight but I just have to tell you I love you no I don't know if that changes your plans at all but I thought you should know I lovether, I love you too. Probably not in the same way, but I do. And when I'm in a cafe having coffee, or I see a man with hair brighter than the sun, I'll think of you. Isn't that sweet?

I see they call him the seventh friend. He was officially the seventh friend. That is so cute. Good on you, Gunther. And you may have also seen this over the weekend that there is a new Barbie movie coming out, but the stars of the Barbie movie, they have just nailed it. So they've got Margot Robbie playing Barbie.

Classic. Very good choice. And Ryan Gosling is apparently in his final negotiations to play Ken Ken Gosling beautiful casting amazing, amazing, there haven't been a lot of details about the plot

line or anything as of yet but they're going to be filming early next year and that's all the details we know but very good looking leads I would say. Ben Boyce, your friend, didn't she go to— Oh, no, it was Charlotte, wasn't it? Our friend.

She was invited to an event, and it was a barbie, but she missed the memo, or misread the memo, and turned up dressed as barbie, but it was a barbecued. No, look, it's a barbie thing. It confused things more. It was sort of part of a hen's night, and barbecue. No, like, it's a Barbie thing. It was, yeah, it confused things more. It was sort of part of a hen's night. And it's like, yeah, it's a Barbie thing. It's Barbie.

You know, she's like, great, I'll dress up like Legally Blonde, like Barbie with a sash. She came fully dressed as Barbie. Oh, this is just a barbecue. Didn't your daughter do the same with like a Halloween move? A birthday party or something?

Yeah, she thought it was a dress up, like a zombie one. Yeah. And turned up and everyone was like, wow, okay. No one else in costume. Oh, that's very sad. This time of year, it's wonderfully topical? Yeah, she thought it was a dress-up, like a zombie one. Yeah. And turned up and everyone was like, wow, okay. No one else in costume. Oh, that's very sad. This time of year, it's wonderfully topical.

Yeah, exactly. Pull it off now. Yeah, no, in January, though, not so much. A great edition of Spy Jew. You're welcome. I'll send that off to the awards. You're very welcome. After 7 o'clock on the show, Adele, the most unusual thing that she's got,

a bit of memorabilia of Celine Dion's. This is crazy. She's got it framed. We memorabilia of Celine Dion's. This is crazy. She's got it framed. We're going to talk about this after 7 o'clock. It is the hits. New Zealand's breakfast. This is Jono and Ben on the hits. It is the hits.

Just gone 7 o'clock on your Tuesday morning. Of course, some senior students returned to school in Auckland today. It'll be a little bit nerve-wracking. I imagine some of the families, some of the kids. What's going to happen with the NCEAs? I imagine a lot of students, if I was in their position, would have been just praying that you didn't have to go back to school this year.

You just got a sweet slide into uni. The old hippo, chippy, hipkins. Averages it out over your entire school career. That's what they would have been dreaming of but I dare say they have to sit examinations. Now, Ed Sheeran, Ben Boyce,

is releasing an album later on this week. Not Ed Sheeran and Ben Boyce. I tried to get involved, but he wasn't that keen to have me on there. Ed Sheeran ex-Ben Boyce. Mainly because I can't sing. But you do good talky bits in songs, if required. Have a little breakdown.

Try and make puns, I think. Yeah, I think. Yeah. I would but I mean no good. Let's not brainstorm what I can do. I want you to play me like a guitar. Stuff like that. So Ed Sheeran he's got a new album out that doesn't feature me but I'm very excited about it. It's called Equals. It's out on Friday and you could win

a Zoom with Ed Sheeran. So you could be one of 14 that we're giving away here on the hits. This Friday night 9 o'clock a bit of an exclusive Ed Sheeran. So you could be one of 14 that we're giving away here on The Hits. This Friday night 9 o'clock, a bit of an exclusive Ed Sheeran live at yours.

Just forward on a link. But pretty cool, though. You got Ed Sheeran on Zoom. Great prize. He's actually joining us on the show on Friday, and we interviewed him last week.

And just before we found, the world found out he had COVID. Yeah. And we could tell. The poor guy looked rinsed. Yeah, you could tell. Like, yeah, obviously, we was doing an interview, and he was really, you know, great on the interview. But you could tell something, he was kind of battling a little bit.

You know? You could tell something wasn't right. With our old mate, Ed Sheeran. Very sad. Featuring Ben Boyce doing sexy talky bits in his songs. It's on 4487 if you want to go see, if you want an exclusive to see Ed Sheeran on Zoom. But next, Adele. She's got new music out as well.

And she's got something very unusual of Celine Dion. Framed. Which is odd. Yeah. Did she frame it or did James Corden, who gave it to her, did he do the framing? We'll find out next. It is the hits.

You've got Jono and Ben. That's what makes you beautiful. It is the hits. Jono and Ben, 7.07 on your Tuesday morning. Now Adele has new music out. What a great song. Easy on me. And she's doing some publicity at the moment.

And she answers some questions online and a very interesting answer have a listen to this bit of memorabilia that she's got okay what do we have here it's pretty amazing Celine Dion's gum that's right what's going on here James Corden who's a friend of mine but also does carpool karaoke which I did he did it with her and knew how much a fan of her I was and so he made her spit her gum into a friend of mine but also does carpool karaoke, which I did, he did it with her and knew how much a fan of her I was, and so he made her spit her gum into a piece of paper and he framed it for me. And it's my proudest possession.

So it's Celine Dion's gum framed from James Corden. You get to that stage of fame and you're like, what do you get someone who has or could have everything or anything they wanted? And you end up giving them masticated chewing gum. Yeah. You start gifting them rubbish because that's unique. Yeah.

That's the only thing that's unique. Put something out of a bin. I was reading about it. James Corden, obviously, friends with the Dow. He knew that she was a big fan of Celine Dion. He was filming carpool karaoke with Celine. And Celine had some gum. And she was about to looking for somewhere to put it out in the car.

And then he went, oh, I should get this gum, but not tell Celine, I should get this for Adele. So he's like, I'll go get this. And so she put it into a piece of paper that he was holding. He didn't do the fold over thing

that you normally would do. He sort of held the gum like it was some sort of trophy, sort of like a plate. And he gave it to one of his production assistants and said, don't, make sure you keep all of this, keep this safe. Was Celine Dion watching all this?

No, he went off. He said the production assistant looked at him like he's lost his mind. Like, why is he telling me to keep this gum safe? And then later he got it framed for Adele, gave it to her, and Celine Dion's people found out about it on Twitter. And they've commented on it.

They obviously see the funny side of it. They said it was hilarious. He was supposed to give it back to Celine since she likes to be singing and chewing while singing. It's all gumming back to me now. Bit of a pun from Celine Dion's people. Did you give that a like? Yeah, I did.

Let me have Celine's people get in touch. Celine is devastated. This is the first that Celine was finding out about the framed gum as well. She kept the gum. But yeah, pretty cool story actually. Well, I tell you what, very COVID-y gift, isn't it? You wouldn't probably do it in these times. It was probably done

pre-COVID. We've spoken about this before. Bieber's half-drunken water bottle when following an interview we did with him. Ben Boyce sort of sifted around and said, what kind of steel is this guy's? What DNA can I can i get a bb i was tidying up we had him on the show and uh it was a drink bottle that he'd uh you know a little plaster drink bottle that we're giving him he drunk out of and i was like oh he's drunk out of this i shouldn't throw

i shouldn't throw this out and so i kept it on my desk at work and then i was like what am i doing i'm a grown man who's taking a little boy's water bottle you know if anyone else had been like... Of Bieber's backwash. Like, why have you got that? You're like, oh, it's Bieber's water bottle. How old are you? Yeah, so I don't know why I kept it.

So anyway, I got rid of that as well. Recycled it. And yeah, don't have it anymore. Recycled it. Into a dolphin's blowhole. No, but what we're going to do, 0800, it's the strangest bit of memorabilia you've got. No, but what we're going to do, 0800 The Hits, the strangest bit of memorabilia you've got.

Now, we tasked over the weekend, you can call us 0800 The Hits, 4487. We also tasked over the weekend producer Bee Humps to find us the strangest piece of memorabilia that someone has. He's got a knowing look. He's got a look of smugness about him that he's teed someone up that has something potentially stranger than Celine Dion's chewing gum. Yeah. Yeah, that's a body part of a celebrity.

Yeah. If you think you've got one that you want to chuck in, 44870800, The Hits, Strangest Memorabilia. We'll do that next. It is The Hits. It is The Hits. Dua Lipa, Elton John, Cold Heart it is the hits, John Owen Bean good morning, 7.14, now Adele

has got an unusual bit of memorabilia, she has Celine Dion's gum, chewing gum from Celine Dion framed in her house ok what do we have here? It's pretty amazing Celine Dion's gum that's right, what do we have here? It's pretty amazing. Celine Dion's gum. That's right. What's going on here?

James Corden, who's a friend of mine, but also does carpool karaoke, which I did, he did it with her and knew how much a fan of her I was, and so he made her spit her gum into a piece of paper and he framed it for me. And it's my proudest possession. And Celine Dion knew nothing of it. She didn't know, yeah. Nothing of it. But as you said before, what do you get Adele, and that's what Jamesest possession. And Celine Dion knew nothing of it. She didn't know.

She knew nothing of it. But as you said before, what do you get Adele? And that's what James Corden was like. I don't know what you get Adele for her birthday. I can't get her like a candle or anything like that. So he's like, I'll get her some gum. Candle's a lovely gift, isn't it? Yeah, the candle's lovely.

But you're right, Adele could buy candles. There was no proof that it was her gum either. Were there DNA tests taken on the gum? That's true, no. So talking about the strangest bit of memorabilia, you've got someone's text in 4487 I've got a friend of mine worked at Mount Smart Stadium when David Beckham

played there. He did like a showcase game. Oh wow. Golden Balls did and I've got a bit of his ankle tape from the dressing room there that old Golden Balls strapped his ankles up with there. Probably looks no different to any other ratty piece of second hand tape but there you go on 0800 The Hits. Now producer

Bee Humps has tracked down someone who joins us all the way from Canada. Welcome to the show. His name is Mr. Zuck, Michael Zuck. Is that Michael Zuck? Thank you for joining us. Well thank you. All the way from

Alberta, Canada. You got it. How's the maple syrup? Well, I'm just running a little bit low, so yeah, it's time to order some more. Yeah, there we go. That's all my Canadian chat. It's very nice to talk to you. Now, you own a very unusual but a very famous piece of memorabilia. What is it?

Well, I bought John Lennon's tooth November 6, 2011. And you're a dentist, so it would make sense for you. You're not a tooth fairy. You go around collecting tooth or anything. What one of John Lennon's teeth is it? Is it one of the nice front jobbies? Are we a molar? What are we talking here?

Probably talking a wisdom tooth, but I actually got a surprise bonus of an extra tooth that does show from side pictures sometimes that he had pulled but in short I've I've got a terribly rotten tooth that people make fun of me for you got where you were at an auction uh or did you like bid for something online I mean how did you know about a UK auction and basically I woke up early in the morning I was up all night just wondering how much should I pay for this tooth. And I ended up winning the auction and over the phone and running up to my daughter's bedroom and waking her up, I said, I bought John Lennon's tooth. And then she freaked out and swore at me for spending so much money. And she said, I should have bought her a car

instead. So it's 30 shoes. You woke me up to tell me you bought a tooth. Yeah. And how do you know it was John Lennon's tooth? Like, how did they verify it was actually the tooth? Well, we've got, you know, the housekeeper verified it with her lawyers and went through that certification process. So his ratty housekeeper stole the tooth? No, I think it was a gift. I think it was a gift, what I'm reading.

Yeah, it was a gift from John Lennon. So she had a few things that she picked up as a part of the deal of working for him. That is definitely, John Lennon was definitely in a position where he was like, oh God, I've got to get her a leaving present. He didn't have time to swing by the petrol station to get flowers or anything. So he pulled out a tooth. He's like, here, the greatest gift a man can give. A little strange, but I think she kind of saw the value in it.

And she never imagined that she would have cashed in this well. Yeah, but I'll give you my tonsils next time I have them out too. So where do you keep it? You've got a tooth at John Lennon's? I mean, amazing. It's $30,000 or something you pay for it. Where do you keep it? A little bit of a secrecy there because, you know,

we don't want people to go hunting for it. But it's in a place that's secure, and I do have the sequencing which i figured was the most valuable part and that's that's uh stored with a dna company because you don't want if you're leaving stray tooth around we mentioned it before the tooth fairy is going to think they're up for grabs so you want to keep it hidden away i have quite a few body parts around uh including elvis pres Presley's crown and molds of his mouth and a little bit of hair from Jimi Hendrix. Michael, can I just say just a word of advice?

Don't say I've got body parts lying around everywhere. It could be a little turn off if I was in the meeting. Alarm bells started going off. That's the thing to keep secret, I think. You've collected Jimi. You've got Jimi Hendrix's hair, Elvis's crown. How much have you spent on celebrity body parts? Well, enough to get my wife so mad that I have to buy her equal value in jewelry and purses. So whatever I spend, it just comes back to haunt me. Wow, so you're a dentist as well.

I mean, you've really set a big going rate for a tooth. I mean, the tooth fairy again must be like, 30 grand he paid for this? I can't compete with that. You know, once in a lifetime chance of using this massive potential for fame. I had just written a book a year before, Confessions of a Former Cosmetic Dentist, and I was starting to get heat from the authorities, so I knew if I get some publicity, they'd probably be

a little scared of me talking about what's going on in dentistry. You might get more heat from the authorities once they hear you say you've got body parts all over the place, but we won't dwell on that, Michael. Now, what's the big picture with this stuff? Obviously, you've got all this celebrity DNA. Is there a greater cause here, Michael? Well, I've got, again, the part of the tooth

was put in a necklace and went on a UK tour to promote oral cancer screening. The dentist dressed up as the Beatles and did free screening, so it got some press there. I tried a little poke into Yoko Ono because of, you know, she would fear that

if I cloned John Lennon, he'd come back and win his money back, right? I was trying to irritate her, kind of just poke the bear a little bit, and I think since I did get a letter from her lawyer, it obviously worked, so. Oh, what did the lawyer say? Well, he wanted to make sure i wasn't going to clone this uh this uh beetle so he was uh was that a real concern they were worried you're going to clone john lennon yeah that that was kind of one of us story spins i thought would be a great uh they were talking about cloning mammoths so i thought

well i got dna from john lennon so why not theorize what would happen if John Lennon came back? Yoko Ono obviously went to her lawyer to get his pen to paper to get on top of me. Well, thank you so much for sharing that. What a wonderful story you've got. I imagine you tell that to everyone. Every dinner party you're at, you'll be like, this is the guy that owns John Lennon's tooth. Thank you so much for your time, and take care over there in Canada.

Thank you. Take for your time, and take care over there in Canada. Thank you. Take care, guys. Welcome to Two Half-Hast Dads Do a Half-Hast Job. Official title, Jono and Ben, New Zealand's Breakfast. And it's the hits, Jono and Ben. Now, a lot of news about the Queen of late. They were talking last week about how she, they almost alcohol shamed the Queen, poor Queen, didn't they?

Yeah, they're always airing her dirty drinking laundry, aren't they? Well, especially it seems towards the end of her life. No, we've kept this hidden. It's been suppressed for decades, almost 90 years. We've kept her drinking hidden.

That's assuming she started drinking when she was about three years old. And now there's more shaming of the poor queen going on at the moment. It's like she's a big fan of late night TV. She's watching too much late night TV. I read this article. Yeah.

And they're like, her royal aides, she sits down with her royal aides and watches some police crime drama that she gets hooked on the complicated storylines and she discusses them out with her royal aides. I've got an idea. And they're like,

she's staying up too late watching this police drama. My question is, if she's drinking a lot and she's not getting enough sleep, how is she still around? Yeah, she's doing really well. She still looks great. She looks amazing. But I'm like, fair enough. She wants to stay up late. How is she still around? Yeah, she's doing really well. She still looks great. She looks amazing.

But I'm like, fair enough. She wants to stay up late. I mean, that's a great achievement as someone who's getting on in life to stay up late. Yeah. Mind you, when they're so staying up late, it's still quarter to six. But for a 95-year-old, it's like 3 o'clock in the morning. We talked about my grandparents used to have a little curtain for the TV they'd pull down when TV was off for the night.

Which would be 7 o'clock after the news. Yeah, but the curtain would come down on the TV and it'd be like, that's it, TV's off. Did you ever try and bring the curtain back up? Oh yeah, I would, but there's a show I would've watched. But no, once the curtain comes down there's no bringing it back up. It's like a live stage show. The curtain's

dropped. It'll be back on tomorrow. Hey, next on the show, $10,000 up for grabs this week with me watching some scary movies. They're going to be doing it on Thursday all before Halloween. Yeah, we've got a very special guest joining us after 8 o'clock too. The voice of Ghostface

from Scream is going to announce the top five movies. But Ben, I've got some things that you might just want to look out for on your movie marathon this Thursday, okay? Alright, we'll get to that next. It is the hits. You got it, Jono and Ben. Tested safe for listening from home. Keep safe.

And that's all I have to say. Thanks, Dr Ashley. Jono and Ben. New Zealand breakfast. You're on the hits, Jono and Ben. It is Halloween on Sunday. It's probably going to be a bit of a different Halloween this year for kids and families around New Zealand in a COVID world.

Yeah. Particularly those in Auckland who can't really go out and do anything. It's a bit of a shame because my kids, your kids, were really, really looking forward to Halloween. Yeah, but for those who don't like kids turning up at their doorstep, hey, it's a dream come true, isn't it? Talking about potentially some people leaving, if you've got stuff that's in little wrappers and stuff

out the front that people can get. Oh, you're relying on the honesty of... I know, that's what I thought. It's the first thing I thought of, too. The honesty box. My kid's going to grab all your lollies and they're going to be gone straight away. There's always one.

There's always one monster, literally dressed like a monster. It's like when I drive down the state highways and it's like the avocados are at the end of someone's driveway and they're like, pick one, leave your money in the box. Oh yeah, that'd be you. No, take 20 and leave nothing in the box.

No, I've never stolen any of a card. But every time I drive past, I'm like, jeez, they're placing a lot of faith in human honesty. But Ben, ahead of these five scary movies you're watching non-stop, he's going to be starting with a $10,000 prize pool. Every fright that Ben gets, money comes off that prize pool and whatever's left over, we give away this Friday on the radio. But I was researching scary movies over the

weekend and I just, we want you to build up some tolerance to frights, you know, because we want you to hold on to as much money as possible. Right. And there's, you know, some stuff you just need to look out for. Everyday things that, for some reason, when they're in a Halloween movie, turn completely terrifying. But if you just keep recognising them as everyday occurrences, then it's not going to be as bad. OK, OK. You know, music's one of them.

Scary music. As soon as this kicks in, you're like, uh-oh. You know something's going to happen, right? Smell trouble. Yeah. Now, this is the scariest music since you listened to WAP. Which traumatised you. With my mum, yeah.

She had a lot of questions and you had to explain a lot. Yeah. But these are some everyday things that horror movies have just, have really ruined for all. Dolls. Every day you play with dolls. You know, it's a great time, fill it with a, fill in time, fill it with a kid.

Our generation's Barbies that blow up when you order online. Oh yeah. But as soon as dolls are in Halloween movies, they're possessed, sent from another dimension

to chase you down, terrorise you and your family for generations to come. Chucky, Annabelle, you know, a couple of iconic dolls from Halloween movies. Like, why can't you just

pick up the doll and put it in the bloody Salvation Army bin at the supermarket? Take the batteries out. There's options. So maybe that's one thing you can think about if there's a scary doll movie. The next one. Neighbours taking out rubbish. We see it weekly. Every week. Happens every

no harm, no foul. Sometimes the scariest thing with that process is when you try and sneak your rubbish into your neighbour's bin. But however, in horror movies, 100% of the time your neighbour is dumping bodies. Every load of rubbish is another body going out to recycle. You always get the wrong week for that. It's not that week, it's next week. Missing the bins, it's pivotal when you've got bodies backing up, don't you? Next thing too,

we do it every day. I mean, you do it every morning. Showering. Showering's not a big issue. No, I've never been too scared in a shower situation at home.

It's an everyday occurrence. I mean, the scariest thing about my shower process is when I catch my body naked in the mirror afterwards. However,

in horror movies, every time, showering becomes the most intense exercise you can be attacked from behind or some sort of sewer creature is going to come up through yeah through the drainage system uh and again the scariest thing about my showering when it comes to the drainage system is pulling out the hair that's terrifying the next one blocked numbers blocked numbers every day it's either the ird it's a charity collector pesky radio show trying to prank you however in a horror movie it's always a psychotic killer on the phone yeah it is the only ones who use block numbers and finally uh rain fade you know rain for the Sky TV? Rain fade?

Yes, yes, yes. When it stops working. Yeah, too much heavy rain. It sort of comes back. You don't think too much about it every day. But in a horror movie, it's a demonic character from another portal sent to terrorise you for the remainder of your days.

And it's always something you need to go check outside in those instances. You know, they're like, go check out. You're like, well, no, I want to stay in here. Call someone. Call the Sky TV guy. Come around and sort that out. The Scary Movies is happening Thursday,

I will get him out of the sample booth. Good luck, good luck. It's always tricky when you get put on the spot in this situation. We say this pretty much every day, but there's words that have multiple options. Now, a lot of people, because as I was going in there, you're like, oh, we do actually have a soundproof booth. Yeah, someone was asking me about that the other day. You don't have a soundproof booth. Now, we probably shouldn't, because we probably spend way too much money on it,

but we do. We do. It's like a little phone booth, like an old-style phone booth in the corner of the studio. We could have fudged it. In the old days of radio, you could fudge anything. Like, oh, look, I'm giving Ben a colonoscopy. And everyone would be like, oh, stop it. Everyone would believe it. Not now. the radio you could fudge anything like oh look i'm giving ben a colonoscopy and everybody would

be like oh stop it everyone would believe it not now yeah world's changed unprecedented times they are fiona let's win your 5k please all right first word we said to fiona this morning was trampoline now what do you say when i say trampoline johnno i've got two would you like me to say them i don't want a ted talk man i just want to that's his new them?

I hate being in the middle of this. I said, I have two options. Yes. He said, I don't want a TED talk. And the look on his face was like, burn.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it, baldy. And then I said my word was wrong. I'm sorry. The second word I had was like, burn, put that in your pipe and smoke it, baldy. And then I said my word, it was wrong. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. The second word I had was the correct answer. Should he have allowed my TED Talk? Well, you know, I'm on Ben's side here. I think that if you give a TED Talk, then you might get hints on what the real answer is by our reaction. I heard Fiona just saying, yes, he should have, Fiona.

Enjoy level two and another chance for someone to try and get to $5,000. Same time, same place tomorrow. Spy. The What's Up. Spy.co.nz. All right, time now for Spy. She's got her whole life ahead of her. And thank God she's wasting a large chunk of it reading stories about Taika Waititi and Rita Ora.

Juliet, what's happening in Spy, mate? So no update on them two today, unfortunately. But Kiwi actor KJ Apa, he played Kane in Shortland Street and Archie in Riverdale. About a month ago, him and his French model girlfriend, maybe girlfriend, I'm getting to that in a second. If you've got a French model girlfriend, you've always got to introduce her as a French model girlfriend. Have you met my French model girlfriend? Oh my goodness, absolutely. So they welcomed their first child,

a baby boy named Sasha. So he's about one month old. But KJ posted a video on Instagram of him. It looked like he was sitting at a cafe and he was drinking a coffee. And what he did was he got some, obviously some pumped breast milk from his girlfriend and poured a little bit in the coffee.

Not just his girlfriend, French model girlfriend. Yeah, French model girlfriend. His girlfriend, yeah. And drank it. coffee. Not just his girlfriend, French model girlfriend. Yeah, French model girlfriend. And drank it. But that was, you know, interesting enough. But the caption was, my wife is a milk machine and I love it. So everyone's wondering, wife, are they married? Did they secretly get married?

So French model wife. Oh, even better. It sounds better, yeah. Honestly. How did he get the milk? Was this straight from the source? No, it was already in a bottle. Yeah, right. It sounds better, yeah. Honestly. How did he get the milk? Was this straight from the source? No, it was already in a bottle. Yeah, right.

Just a little top up. Yeah, and he just drank it. We were filming with a dairy farmer, and he would often get his milk in his coffee. Tangaroa, yeah. Yeah, straight from the source. Really? In the morning, when they're milking the girls,

they just straight into the cup. And then he sprayed it in their face Straight from the source Do you know what, every time I see a cow I actually went for a walk around Cornwall Park the other day And when I see their udders All I think about is Jono Always saying on the radio Imagine coming across or being the first guy

Who ever decided to milk a cow And seeing that sight for the first time in existence. Isn't that weird? You would be like, yeah. It would be very weird. Very confronting. I'd be calling the authorities. I'd be like, Ben, what are you doing, mate?

Oh, this is a new thing? Hang on, this could be something. Hang on. This could be something. Roll with me here. I don't want to be part of this, buddy. I'm going to go. You should probably delete your internet history.

So weird. I should move on and Mero Walker who is the late Paul Walker's daughter she got married to her partner Louis Thornton Allen earlier this month and over the weekend she shared some photos and videos of their wedding which was held in the Dominican Republic oh beautiful location but the very special part was that Vin Diesel

who obviously starred alongside Paul Walker in Fast and Furious, was the one to walk her down the aisles. Vin Diesel is Meadow's godfather, so it seemed like a fitting role to play. So it's really beautiful to see that, and it looked like a gorgeous wedding. Oh, look, I can see him there.

He's wearing a lovely light blue suit, Vin Diesel. The only problem with Vin Diesel being an official member of the wedding party is he'd get up and do a speech and it'd be like ... ... ... ...

He reckons Auckland's going to get to 90% first jab by the end of this week, all going well. And then hopefully towards the end of November, all going well, Auckland can get to the traffic light. We get to go from the alert level system

to the traffic light system. And you don't have to wait the extra two weeks once people get to the second jab. Oh, really? Because a lot of people are thinking once you get jabbed the second time, there's up to two weeks before you get full immunity. Well, he's saying as soon as it gets to 90%.

Wow, awesome. What I love is they loosen the belt with the rules as they go on. Remember that first one? You've got to wait six weeks. If you can, eight weeks in between first and second. Oh, now it's three. Now it's three. In fact, go in there, walk out the door, come back in,

Just get out there. Yeah. Some schools, of course, back today for seeing their students in Auckland. And an announcement today, I think, on the – is there an announcement?

There's another announcement on another announcement today with primary and intermediate kids. But who knows? It reminds me of, you know, when you go over to your friend's place to play and you know it's their home ground. They invent a game, but they change the rules as they keep going along to favour their year. That's how we feel at the moment. But good on them. Remember a short, sharp lockdown? We'll get out of this quickly, guys. Go back.

Remember that? Short and sharp. Short and sharp. Hard and early. Go hard, go early. We went hard and early and we're still going hard and sharp. Hard and early. Go hard, go early. We went hard and early and we're still going hard and early. Some 70 days later. Jeez. All right, all right, you've got to laugh.

Next on the show, it is Halloween this weekend. And, you know, it's a bit of a different Halloween as we go hard and early on lockdown. But we're talking to an iconic character from Scary Movies next. From Scream, you know this voice? What's your favourite scary movie? The guy who played Ghostface joins us and tells me what the five movies I need to watch this week to win $10,000.

That's a few moments away on the hits. Jono and Ben's $10,000 Halloween Scarehouse. Yep, Ben Boyce, public poster child for being scared of horror movies. We're making him sit down this Thursday night in celebration of Halloween and watching five of the scariest movies of all time as voted by you. He's doing that non-stop, sort of 12 hours of viewing. And each fright he gets, he loses money off our $10,000 prize pool, whatever's left over. This Friday, we give it all away.

It's all got to go. And we're joined right now by one of the most iconic Scary Movie characters, Steve and Grace the Screens. You remember from the Scream movies, there was a character called Ghostface. What's your favorite Scary Movie? Scream, of course, starred Courtney Cox from Friends, Neve Campbell, Jamie Kennedy, comedian Drew Barrymore as well, and we're joined by Ghostface himself, Roger L. Jackson.

How you doing? Nice to talk to you. Fine. How are you, Jono and Ben? Good. Jono Pryor, and we have Benjamin Boyce as well. Yeah. Glad we all know each other formally. Roger, it's a pleasure to have you on. You're an iconic actor Thankfully we tracked you down because we're embarking

On a horror movie marathon of sorts My friend Ben is terrified Of horrors and we're making him watch Five of the worst horror movies Of all time in a row The worst as in scariest Not as in critically panned And you're an

Iconic character in Scream. I mean, this is such an awesome role to get. And I didn't realize that you weren't just the voice, but you're also the person in the costume. Well, for the films, it started out that I was just going to be doing the scene with Drew Barrymore. The producer liked what I was doing, so they decided to keep me. So then on the second night, they set me up in the garage of the house with a monitor so I could see the camera feed live.

I was on the cell phone with Ms. Barrymore and watching the camera feed, but mic'd for clean sound. So it was an actual phone conversation in real time? Yes, I was playing the scene live through those first four movies. Did you try different voices for Ghostface? How did you land on this particular voice? Well, you came in and the audition was that first scene.

I read the scene and it was all there in he's got to be interesting. I mean, it's a game of cat and mouse. So he's got to keep her on the phone. He's got to be interesting and playful and, you know, maybe sound kind of sexy. And so. Oh, you're doing things to me, Roger. They like kind of a warm, they like a warm voice, you know, something kind of, hey, oh, you're going to be making popcorn. I only make popcorn when I'm going to watch a movie.

Oh, you're watching a movie? Oh, you like scary movies? What's your favourite scary movie? So it's got to be kind of interesting and have that warmth and colour to it. But then when the cat puts his paw down on the mouse's tail, it's got to go dark. Why, what did you think I said?

Wow. Game, really. Can you handle that, Blondie? Oh, my God, Roger. That's Blondie. Oh, my God. Roger. That's amazing. I won't lie. There was parts of that conversation I was like,

should I be paying for this? Because it was, wow, it was touching parts of my. Yeah. Do you ever use that voice to your advantage, like booking a restaurant booking or anything like that? No, I don't think anyone would connect it. When I do that at home, my goes stop it yeah i mean so you must have just like hundreds of voices that you can pull off and the uh the power puff girls as well

an iconic character they're also uh still store villain and that i understand oh you bet much more evil than that guy in the white mask i have destroyed entire cities and nobody cares it is i mojo jojo and nobody else oh i love the powerpuff girls so good network, love it. Watch it all the time. It raised my children. I hate the Powerpuff Girls. Now, Ghostface, you must have added some lines to yourself. Was there a bit of ad-libbing if you're there in the moment? Actually, it started with the scene where Randy gets killed in the van. And I tried this line I thought of the night before. Have you ever felt a knife sliced through human flesh and scrape the bone beneath?

And I saw Jamie Kennedy's face on the monitor. West called cut. And Jamie went, that was great. Do it again. Where did that come from? Like, you know, were you a bit worried that you came up with such a great line that you're like, oh, there might be a little dark side to me? Yeah, what dark things are going on in your head there, Roger?

They said, there's a dark side to everyone, Dan. That's why Ghostface could be literally anyone. Wow. Anyone. So good. Did you meet the actors or did they keep you away from them for the mystique? No, for those films, I did not meet the actors or did they keep you away from them for the mystique? No, for those films, I did not meet the actors because Wes wanted to be sure they didn't have any visual associations

to cloud their reactions, as it were. I did meet Jamie Kennedy by accident. I got a little munchy late one night at the hotel, so I went down to the the vending machines where they also had washing machines for the guests and i came into the the vending machine room there was somebody bent over the a washer he whips around and looks at me and it's jamie and he goes do you know how to use fabric softener i said no i no, no, I don't. He said, oh.

Then he went back into the dishwasher. Does anyone know how to use fabric softener? I don't know. When do you put it in? Yeah, no, it's a very good question. It's a very good point from JBK. I've got Roger L. Jackson. No clue. No clue.

Got Roger L. Jackson with us, head of Ben Boyce's big Halloween movie marathon that we're doing, The Scarehouse. Roger, would you be able to do us a huge favour? And what might that be? He's like, what are you about to ask me? We need a lot of money. No, no, I'm kidding.

Next, if you don't mind hanging around, the audience have been voting on what movies Ben should watch. Would you be able to announce them for us? I'm on board. He's on board. Okay, we'll find out if we get Roger's seal of approval next for the five movies that I need to watch, the scariest movies, as voted by the audience next. Do you want to introduce

the next song on the radio? It's Ghostface Roger. Oh, okay. It's the new song from Adele. Hello, this is Adele singing Easy on Me, because I won't be easy on you. Wow. Back with Roger L. Jackson.

What an incredible voice. This is so exciting. It is the hits. You've got Jono and Ben. There ain't no gold on me. It is brand new from Adele, Easy On Me. You're on the hits. New Zealand's Breakfast, Jono and Ben.

Jono and Ben's $10,000 Halloween Scarehouse. Yes, so here to Halloween this Thursday, Ben Boyce watching five of the world's scariest movies to win you $10,000. And we're joined on the phone right now by iconic horror movie actor Roger L. Jackson, who is the voice of Ghostface. What's your favourite scary movie?

From Scream, and he joins us back. Welcome Roger. Hello, hello New Zealand. One of my favourite places on the planet Earth. I was going to say that you've come to New Zealand before with your wife, right? That's right, we were there a few years ago for Armageddon. That year it was up in Auckland. So we went over to Wellington and spent a couple of days

and took the bus from Wellington to Auckland so we could see the country. Delightful place. Great people. Oh, lovely. I'm glad you enjoy it. You might not enjoy it as much at the moment. We're kind of in various stages of lockdown. But you're welcome back when we're not.

You're very smart people. I take that as a compliment. You clearly haven't heard our podcast. Now, of course, you've been to Armageddon in New Zealand and you've been to various comic cons around the world. And I noticed online you do a lot of recording for fans' answer phones. Yeah, we used to do those at the conventions.

I send a recording and then it's up to them to figure out how to get it on how to get it on that sounds like it sounds like a mission it's kind of cool though having someone rings up and you have ghostface answering your phone for you hello who is this are you looking for jono and ben well they're kind of tied up right now wow you're. How do I get that on my phone? The transfer exam. Roger Slate, it's up to you. Now, Roger, what we thought we might do is the voice of Ghostface.

If you could announce the five movies that Ben is having to watch non-stop this coming Thursday as voted by the audience. So we'll hand it over to you. So, for Ben's monstrous movie marathon, at the top of the list is Scream. And I have to say, that's the right answer.

You like scary movies? Uh-huh. You never told me your name. Why do you want to know my name? Because I want to know who I'm looking at. Oh, Scream. It would be remiss of us not to put Scream in. Inspired by the real-life case of the Gainville Ripper,

a small town becomes the target of a mysterious killer in a Halloween costume known as Ghostface. I've heard of Ghostface. I think we're talking to him right now. When you were filming Scream, is it scary on the set of a horror movie? Only if people don't get fed, that's when it gets scary. What's number two on the list?

Number two is it. I saw something. There was this clown. Yeah, you know it, don't you? Stephen King, when children in town begin to disappear, a group of young kids, there's always a bit of a problem, isn't it? When the kids are disappearing. A group of young kids are faced with their biggest fears

as they square off against an evil clown, Pennywise. Who is terrifying? Oh, I know that clown gives me nightmares and I haven't even seen the movie. Don't float down here, Georgie. Oh, wow. We got Roger L. Jackson with us. He was the voice of Ghostface in Scream, the horror movies. He's announcing the scary movies that I need to watch to win you $10,000 this week.

I feel like we're really traumatizing some childhoods on the way to school who are listening to this at the moment. The next one, Roger. The next movie in Ben's list of terror is Paranormal Activity. I knew that one looks... Yeah. What's happening to me? Sing up the message. If it's not a ghost, what is it? I've heard of it, never seen it.

Paranormal activity when children in town begin to... Oh, no, that was the one before. There's a lot of children disappearing. A young couple are haunted by children in town disappearing. There's a supernatural presence in their home set up by a camera to document the horror of what is haunting them. I did a shocking job of that synopsis. Yeah, I think they set up a camera to document what's happening.

Yeah, there we go. Paranormal activity. Missing children. Disappearing. There's none. Next, for those who aren't traumatized enough yet, The Conjuring. Oh, I knew that would be there as well.

It's November 1st, 1971. I'm sitting here with Carolyn Perrin, who, with her family, has been experiencing supernatural occurrences. You picking up anything in here, hon? Something awful happened here, Ed. What is it? Ooh, the conjuring.

Yes, dermatologists, sorry, demonologists try to help a family. They're also quite wary about skin issues as well. Try to help a family get rid of an evil entity haunting them in their farmhouse based on a true story the conjuring oh don't say that it makes it even more scary it packs more punch when there's a true yarn behind it okay and the final one rounding out and last but certainly not least sinister that's the family who lived here. You think these are serial murders? I don't know. First one I found dates back to the 60s. Sinister just sounds bad.

Yeah, this was nominated by a lady who is a horror fanatic. She said it's the horror fan's horror movie. A true crime writer moves his family into one of the victim's houses and learns that living in the house, Ben, guess what? May. It's good? No, it's not great. Their property value increases in about six months. It's a wonderful step on the property ladder. It's like living in Auckland. They're happy, right? Unfortunately, no. It's fatal.

Fatal. The scariest of them all. And I'd like to add one more in there too. An Instagram post from Benjamin Boyce. The scariest of them all. And I'd like to add one more in there too. An Instagram post from Benjamin Boyce. The scariest of them all. Roger, thank you so much for your time. Hey, pleasure to meet you. You keep safe over in America. Nice to meet you guys. Hello

New Zealand to my friends there. Remember yourselves, be present, and enjoy your life. Seems a good bit of advice. Because horror is waiting right around the corner. Okay, that was good advice, and then it got quite scary. Roger, thank you so much.

This has been a real privilege to talk to you. Thanks, you guys. It was great. You're on the heads. Jono and Ben with you on a Tuesday morning, 8.38. Tragic, horrible news out of the US on Friday. To the US, American film star Alec Baldwin has shot and killed one crew member and injured another on a movie set in New Mexico.

Early indications are the incident, while filming Western movie Rust in Santa Fe, was an accident. Yeah, and joining us uh right now from the us from the la times you've been following this story meg james good morning thanks for your time fine thank you how are you doing this morning i'm good i'm on i'm on your uh website here you got a cute dog with a pumpkin hat on its head yes that's little jackson jackson is adorable getting into as a dog getting into halloween are into Halloween? You're into Halloween and forcing the dog into it. You know, actually, weirdly, I leave that on year-round.

Oh, it's always topical. So once a year, it looks really timely. Hey, Meg, some devastating news emerging from the States over the last few days on the set of Ella Baldwin's new movie. You've been following the story for the LA Times. Yes, this is an extreme tragedy on so many levels. The cast and crew are just shaken by what happened on the set. The police are investigating this.

They've seized all sorts of equipment. There have been vigils in New Mexico and Los Angeles, you know, to honour the fallen cinematographer Helena Hutchins. This comes at a time when film crews had been complaining very loudly about deteriorating working conditions on set. With the rush of turning out TV movies and TV shows for streaming services, these crews have really been stretched thin. Well, it seems like there was concerns already on the movie set before this tragic accident happened? Yes, yes, that is correct. I reported late last week that there had been a walkout among about six cameramen on the day, the morning of the shooting.

These cameramen were very upset about a number of things, including safety. There had been some accidental gun discharges days earlier. And also, the producers had promised these individuals hotel rooms close to the production. But then they found out that they were going to have to drive 50 miles to and from Albuquerque to work on this set. And this would be after like 14 and 15-hour days. So there was a lot of pressure and a lot of tension. I guess the question that's on everyone's mind is like, how in this day and age is there a gun on set that could kill someone?

That is the key question. And that's what the law enforcement investigators are really looking into. The film set rules and all of the protocols is that you never have live rounds of ammunition on a movie set. Never. And how a live round got into this gun that was handed to Alec Baldwin, who then during a rehearsal was sort of fumbling around to try to draw the gun out of his holster and he fired this shot. No one really knows the answer. I mean, it seems like there was some careless,

sort of reckless behavior on this set. So having, obviously, we've never been on a Hollywood set before, but do they use real guns with blanks inside? Is that what they use in movies? It depends on the production, but yes, they can use real guns. They would always be modified with these plugs to make them safer. And we're not sure exactly what the weapon was Alec Baldwin was using. We have a script, and it looks to be that he was using a Colt revolver.

It does appear that this one was a real gun, but we don't have the precise details that we really would like. We've got Meg James with us from the Los Angeles Times. She's been reporting on the tragic accident on Alec Baldwin's film set which happened last week. Alec Baldwin, Master, you just feel for the poor guy. Like, he would just be devastated. Will he be charged with anything?

That's also a question, because, you know, not only was Alec Baldwin the star of this show, he was also a producer, and so he has ownership interest in this show. In talking to people who have worked on that particular set, people who were approached to work on this film Rust, it seems like there were corners cut on the budget. People asked to do multiple jobs. And so not only does he have some sort of exposure for actually pulling the trigger on this gun.

He also is one of the producers and owners of this show. It's such a heartbreaking story. The cast and crew are obviously devastated by this. The movie, it's been stopped. Do you think that'll be the end of that? You know, it's very interesting that you should ask that question because last night the producers put out a statement saying that they were going to pause this production while these investigations were ongoing.

And that raises the question that they still want to go back into production at some point. They didn't actually say that, but they didn't close the door. They were on the 12th day of a 21-day shoot. And I must tell you, 21-day shoots for feature-length films is a really compressed timetable, which the people who have worked on the set that also led to some of the problems. She was, and it's our demand, our insatiable demand for streaming content at the moment.

It's crazy. Meg James, thank you so much for your time. A tragic story. Your heart just breaks for Helena Hutchins' family and all involved in the movie. Thank you for your time and giving us some insight on the show this morning. You guys be well.

You're on the hits, Jono and Ben, 8.47 Tuesday morning. Now, last week we were very excited because we thought we had an interview with Michael J. Fox, the famous actor from Back to the Future and many other things, but it turns out it was Michael J. Fox from the Skinny TV commercials. Hello, mate, how you doing? Yeah, good, yourselves? Good. It's John or Ben here. We work on the Hits radio station in New Zealand. I thought we've just got an interview with Michael J. Fox, surely? That's right, yeah, that's right. How many interviews has he had today?

Oh, no, the first one today? No, really, when you guys are far away. Oh, will you relay the questions to him? How's this work? I think it's too hard if you guys just ask the questions and I can answer. But is he on the other line? It's me. I'm Michael J. Fox.

I'm Pukikohe from the Skinny Famous Faces advert. So, yeah, we got outfox but anyway i wish we could travel back to the future to a time where uh before ben started spending hours watching back to the future movies and prepping questions but if you know someone who's got a famous name well maybe you have a famous name you can now register to win the three thousand dollars and star in skinny's next radio commercial. Yeah, little did we know that was the beginning of a week-long little story to find the voice of the next Skinny commercial. No one told this to us.
