Oh, yeah. May the 4th. Wonderful day for pun enthusiasts, radio, commercial radio shows. They get off on that sort of jazz, don't they? And also the 1st of May, you see all the memes going, it's gonna be May. Yeah, I was surprised you guys didn't do that. they? And also the 1st of May, you see all the memes going, it's gonna be May. I was surprised you guys didn't do that. We're here on the 1st of May, so yeah.

That was a weekend. I saw it pop up, but you're right, normally that'd be right in our wheelhouse, Belle. The Justin Timberlake, yeah. I was expecting John to do that. Justin Timberlake has his Maggi Noodles here, you know? He does look like Maggi Noodles. He does look like Maggi Noodles. And he wore a full denim suit, didn't he, to the MTV Awards.

Him and Britney. Just a lot of denim to download there. That was a lot. Yeah. And also with sequins on it, like studded denim. Like, who made that call back in the day? It was a trend. I remember getting a denim jacket when I was a kid thinking, this is so cool, and you'd wear it with jeans, double denim. It was a vibe. It was a trend. I remember getting a denim jacket when I was a kid thinking,

this is so cool. I need to wear it with jeans. Double denim. It was a vibe. It was, yeah. Do you remember Ed Hardy? Do you remember Ed Hardy? It was a guy basically just sort of tattooed on a T-shirt.

It was sort of flamboyant. They had all sorts of stuff going on, didn't they? Yeah. What happened to Ed Hardy really dropped? Von Dutch? Oh, the trucker caps made cool by like Paris Hilton. She wore juicy couture and made them millions

by the way. It's interesting, the whole thing. I've been watching a doc on Netflix about Abercrombie & Fitch. Same, yeah. It's just about the whole story behind their company and all that sort of stuff. And you're like, oh, okay. What's the story? Oh, just about how it was promoted and how the people were there

were having to be good looking and all that. It was all like the company thing because they often have models outside with shirtless models and pants and stuff outside but even the people working there, they had to be rated almost as like good looking and... Would I make the cut? They were also racist. They wouldn't hire

people of colour and they actually went to court not to give everything away. I haven't seen the whole thing yet. There's a racism scandal coming up. So if I, just back to my question, okay, I'm applying for a job at Evercom. It's just in the accounts department. Oh, yeah. Back rooms. How many people

are going to see you? When you say back room, is it a back room? Is there like a like, oh, I'll be a part of a back room? Is there like a, like. Oh, well, I'll be a part of a team. I'm not coming through the front. Yeah. No.

Would you like me to enter through the back? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. If I can come through the back door, but I am working with a team of people. I'm just a middling accountant. I'm not, not management or anything like that. I'm just there doing some numbers. Am I allowed on the tape?

They would probably make you work at night time only, which they did to some staff. You can come in at night time. How about night time? You get days free. You like your days, don't you? They were like all American, had to be white, had to look like a model essentially,

like the underwear model, sort of topless. So what are you saying? Well, I'm saying you're not all American, firstly. I was born there. You read to all the, oh, you were. Yeah, yeah, so I am all American. Born in Seattle. What's the next thing?

Look. We are seeing a few other people. They didn't really have tattoos. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We're seeing a few others. You're on the list. I'm not saying no. You've got blue eyes.

You're white. Can I do a mid-dawn shift at the office? A midnight to dawn. Maybe, yeah. So there you go. As long as I'm out by dawn, you know, under the cover of darkness. Well, that's shocking, though, isn't it? Well, yeah, if that's the case.

I don't want to give anything else away, but that's all in the trailer anyway. Is it still a thing, Abercrombie & Fitch? Still a company? Still operating? I'm not sure. As I say, I haven't got to the end of the topic. I remember it being a very, very popular store a few years ago. It was huge, yeah.

Oh, there we go. Better watch that on Netflix. I've started watching your bloody anatomy of a skin. What do you think? Are you liking it? I'm still on episode one. Oh, no, you've got to keep going. Episode one's not the best.

Episode two gets better. I'll get through it. My Netflix very happens in very small installments. So I'm slowly getting through. Have you heard of Squid Game? Just up to episode two of that as well. Good luck with that one as well. If they were the internet, you'd want to clear this history.

Jono and Ben on the hits. Good to have everyone here. Ben, you're looking good. Do you know what? You've matched with producer Bee Humps. Your sleeves are sort of red tartan, and he's wearing his red swan dry. You look like you could be in the same boy band.

You know how they kind of dress them up just sort of similar. Suddenly different. We're thinking about starting a boy band aren't we? What a middle aged man band. That's the Backstreet Boys now. I can't get the dancing steps right. But when I nail it we'll be out there. Belle Crawford you alright? Good morning.

A bit of sass from you this morning Jono. You said I was turning your mics on and you're like alright Belle Crawford. What all right? Good morning. Yeah, a bit of sass from you this morning, Jono. Yeah, sorry. I was turning your mics on. You're like, all right, Belle Crawford. Yeah. What were you even saying for us to do then towards the end of the song? What were you saying? Songs finishing. I just say mics are going on so you don't, you know, incriminate yourself and say something

embarrassing. Ben, you know, have you noticed working with Ben Bell, that pre-show, he's working on his computer, he's prepping, he's getting notes, you're getting all your information you need. Very hard working. Yeah, but he mumbles as he's working on his computer he's prepping he's getting notes you're getting your all your information you need very hard working yeah but he mumbles as he's doing it

do I? yeah because he's been really quiet and I've been because I usually sit in a room on my own a lot and I've been worried that I talk to myself a lot

so I was trying not to yeah but the thing with Ben too is sometimes he'll start a sentence when he talks to you and you go hey I will do this and he'll lose interest sentence when he talks to you and you go, hey, we'll do this. And he'll lose interest in his own sentence.

Fair enough. He's busy working. Because you're on the radio all the time, you've got to be, hey, we're on the radio. You can't mumble. You've got to finish sentences on the radio. And then you don't want to be that guy that walks around the office going, g'day, guys, it's the weather's great outside.

We'll find out also at 8 o'clock this morning what were some of the clues given away yesterday after our show. So stick around for that.

Scrolling through your feed. Half-baked news, half-baked opinion, fully-baked host. Ben Boyce, what's happening with scrolling? Oh, anatomy of a scandal. There's a TV show on Netflix at Bell Crawford. It's like, you guys need to watch this, but there's a version of it, because it's all about a cheating husband. There's a version of it happening in real life at Disneyland, which is meant to be the happiest place on earth.

Now, a lady went on holiday to Disneyland. She was with her husband, with her child, and with their nanny, and she was looking back at photos. You know how they take photos when you go on the ride, and sometimes they flash and they take the photos at the theme park? Oh, when you go down like your magic mountain or something. Yeah, so it's just like on the log flume. They do the same at Rainbow's End, right?

When you're going down the log flume, they take a photo, and they obviously paid for the photos, and it wasn't until she was looking at the photos later going, oh, she was sitting in the front with her child, and behind was her husband and the nanny and they were sort of canoodling and sort of cuddling together. As they're going barrelling down the hill. No, they weren't kissing or anything,

but they were definitely close together, arms around each other and all sorts of stuff. And she went, hey, what's going on here? And he's like, yeah, you got me, all right, you got me. A novelty downhill photo. Yeah, the relationship has also gone downhill ironically as well

yeah and now the she's now that he's in a relationship with a nanny they've moved in together they've also got a child on the way

they've got a kid on the way yeah so all discovered because of the novelty photo at Disneyland what happens after that conversation too

because I mean it's not cheap to get into Disneyland you're like, oh should we all go to the small world now? You need to finish your day. Oh no, it wasn't until afterwards. It wasn't until like. Oh they got home. They'd done that. They'd had their time.

They had their place on earth. They were looking back on the photos and you're like, oh maybe we shouldn't have paid for those photos that we got on the log flume. Odd canoodling location as well. If you were going to have a canoodle with a nanny You're not going to do it on the back You'd be freaking out going down the hill

You've got your arms in the air, you're screaming Yeah, you're right Do it in the caves of the Pirates of the Caribbean or something This is another story that I thought could have been Jono If it wasn't for the fact that it was in the US Now truck drivers in America were making a delivery of a beer truck Now they had the tailgate down as well They were about to go into, you know, taking the beer inside to the liquor store wasn't for the fact there was in the US. Now, truck drivers in America were making a delivery of a beer truck. Now, they had the tailgate down as well.

They were about to go into, you know, taking the beer inside to the liquor store. And then someone went, oh, I could steal that truck. And they got inside and drove off still with the tailgate of the truck down. And what followed was a very low speed chase because they didn't really know how to drive the truck. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Beers and wine was all falling out the back of the truck as it went and was pursued by police very, very slowly. And in the end, it crashed very slowly into a power pole. That's the confidence of a man three or four beers deep.

I could do that. It's all full of beer. I could take that. And it didn't quite work out for them. Yeah, well, I mean, if you're going to steal a truck, I think the first rule is make sure you know how to drive a truck. I've always said that with my truck stealing scams. And that is scrolling through your feed this morning.

Some of the more unusual news from around the world. It is the hits to 6.15. Now, we've seen somewhat over four people to go see Robbie Williams in Australia. It was an amazing competition. Now, this is a one-off show. I think he's filming some sort of documentary over there about his life, a biopic, Ben.

We'll release your biopic in a few years. We'll get to that, won't we? I don't know if it's going to be... Ben Boyce, the biopic. It'll be quite as popular as that. But Nicole joins us right now on 0800 The Hits because, Nicole, you were lucky enough to go see Robbie. How was it?

Good morning, guys. Oh, it was an awesome trip. It was amazing. Thank you so much. Did we let Robbie entertain you? Oh, definitely. Definitely. Still got him in my watch team live 19 years ago,

and he's still exactly the same. So he's still as charismatic and as engaging as he always was. Always. Yes, he is. So who did you end up taking? Because obviously you took your husband, right? And then who else did you take for the other two people? It was Paul and Roger.

So, yeah, we had an awesome time. How are Paul and Roger? Sorry? How are Paul and or Roger? I think they're still recovering, mate. Did they party? Paul and Roger sounded like they partied the hell out of Melbourne. I think they're still recovering, mate. Paul and Roger sounded like they partied the hell out of Melbourne. They definitely did.

They left Melbourne in a state of devastation. I don't think they're going to last back. They closed the borders after they left, that's for sure. So you had $500 as well. What did you spend that? What did you put that towards? Oh, we just bought some gifts for the girls and a gift for500 as well. What did you spend that? What did you put that towards? Oh, we just bought some gifts for the girls and a gift for myself as well. Now, we did demand a novelty M&M dispenser from Duty Free.

Oh, everything's closed on Duty Free, mate. There's only one or two shops open. Oh, everything's closed. I'm sure Paul and Roger got their liquor through it the other day. Yeah. All right, well, listen, I'm so Paul and Roger got their liquor through at the other exam. Yeah. Well, listen, I'm so glad you had a great time. What a way to spend the weekend. And Rod Laver Arena too, the tennis centre, is it enormous?

Yes, it is pretty big. And that's all I have on that. That's my only question on that. I just wanted to know if it's pretty big and you said it was pretty big. It looks big on TV, you're right, John. In real life, it was quite big too. Oh, good on you. Lovely to have you on the show, Nicole.

You're a wonderful person. Thanks, guys. Glad you enjoyed Robbie Williams and you can look for yourself on the movie when it's released. Yes, I will, definitely. Go to Paul and Roger. They'll be able to pixelate

Paul and Roger's antics at the concert, no doubt. Yeah, you'll definitely see them. Hey, Nicole, lovely to talk to you, and I'm glad you had such a great trip. Thanks, guys. Justin Bieber, of course, he's coming back to New Zealand, and so many concerts are on the way,

including this one just announced, Bell Crawford. Yep, Florence and the Machine live in New Zealand on the 21st of March. It's a Tuesday next year at Spark Arena. Tickets are on sale this Friday, 11am from

frontiertouring.com. Plus, if you want to win them, text FLORENCE to 4487 to be in to win a double pass to see them live.

Isn't that good? Isn't it a great feeling having all these concerts being announced and knowing they're probably going to go ahead? There was a period there

where we just kept announcing concerts going, this is never going to happen. But we'll keep talking about it. I think we sent people to Sydney for a show and we're like, that's never going to happen. But we ploughed on anyway. We just took this to Nicole.

We went to Robbie Williams. It's all starting to happen. Isn't it great? It's awesome. It's exciting. Spy. Know what's up. Spy.co.nz.

Okay, let's slander the good names of the world's most famous people. Belle, what's happening in Spy? Some very exciting news. There is a Kath and Kim reboot in the works. The iconic TV show, Look Amoy, two decades after it first started, that will return next year. They haven't said when or where, but it will be on a streaming platform. It has been on Netflix, so I'm wondering if it's going to be a Netflix deal, but who knows?

Oh, that's such good news. I loved that show. It's just funny. So good. And so original cast returning? Looks like it. Hopefully they get Magdish. Sharon, one of my standout favourite characters.

She's hilarious. Shane Warner. She was a huge fan of Shane Warner on the show. And Warner came along and taught her how to spin. It appeared in it, right? Yeah, she was a huge fan of Shane Warner on the show. And Warner came along and taught her how to spin. It appeared in it, right? Yeah, that was so cool. Very special.

And people who live nearby the Kath and Kim house in Melbourne have seen Crew over the last few weeks. And also, I lived in Melbourne briefly and there is a mall

which in real life is called High Point and they call it Fountain Court and you can go to the mall where you'd see Kath. Oh, you'd go to Fountain Court. Yeah, and where Kath would be strolling around with Cal.

It's pretty cool. I loved, I had an episode where Cal and Kath were going to go overseas, but the flight didn't happen, so they ended up having a holiday at the airport. And that's all I had on that. Just regaining tales of my favourite. Tell us more about your favourite episode.

Favourite episode together, Gimps. Yeah. It's a very funny show. Also today. Five stars. Five stars. Jono Pryor gives it five stars. Have you got any more favourite episodes?

Electric laughs. Once you get started. He doesn't remember too many details, but he remembers enough to tell you. At least you knew the plot line of that. They went for a holiday and it happened at the airport. All right, what's the next story? I'll tell you. Today, the Met Gala Awards are on in New York.

It's a very prestigious invite-only fashion event and a winter, the editor of Vogue invites you. And it's the first time in a couple of years it can properly go ahead in person. And the theme this year is Gilded Edge which is celebrating an era of New York glamour and for the first time all of the Kardashian women have been invited.

There have been some years where it's only been Kim and the others. It's a little bit awkward. It's like a wedding where you don't invite, you get the culling list going on there. It's always a great thing to watch the red carpet, too, where people come dressed up as a computer or something like that. But I thought Pete Davidson this year could come as Kanye.

Like in the sort of morph suit thing. Yeah, and then he's walking down the red carpet. Everyone's like, oh, come and get me back together. And he's like, psych. Unzips it like a sleeping bag. He's like, it's just me. Hey, Davidson, skate. I don't know if he wants a white-up car.

Yeah, like that. No. And you'll be able to see photos and more spy at thehats.co.nz later today. It's Jono and Ben, but FYI, Ben is open to other options. Jono and Ben on the Hats. Felt like the first day of full normality yesterday. Out on the road, saw a little bit of road rage,

backed up traffic. I was like, these are the good old days. It's good to see. Good to see getting back out there, Ben. That's what you've always said. Let's get back out there. I know. Well, it does feel like it's time now.

Everyone's ready for it. I was a big campaigner for opening the borders in 2021. Right through the whole thing. I was like, open the borders. Yeah, maybe a little too early. Too soon, but it's fine. Do know i've uh i've come to a realization that with certain items in my life and i'm sure it might be the same for you as well you treat with such tender love and care almost like a newborn child but then eventually you're like well they can fend for

themselves you know sunglasses fall in that category for me. Oh, yeah. Where you get, if you buy a pair of sunglasses, within 12 to 18 months, you're kicking those things off the ground. Yeah. You know, you've lost all respect for those sunglasses. At the start, you're like, I'm going to keep these in the case every time I take them off and all that.

And then you clean the lenses. Why did you get the first couple, one or two scratches? You're like,'re like they're gone they're gone you're like I'll still wear them but I won't care for them as much till you end up

like I have now just wandering around with one lens that's just fallen out and just the other one's inside but I also have the same relationship with my cell phone

right you get a new cell phone which I did a couple of years ago and boy oh boy you just you treat that you treat that thing with the utmost dignity and respect, don't you? A new cell phone, get a new case for it, constantly wiping the screen, cleaning it.

But now I use it as a bottle opener. He does, actually. He can open, which says a lot about you, you can open beer bottles with most items. You can tell you're voted the rock. You can. I mean, you pass me an item in here i could probably open a beer bottle without word of a lie it's my only talent have you put me on that 60 second show i'll give a beer bottle you can show any item and i'll open open it up you've taken your belt off and done it you've seen you

do it with seat belts i've seen you do it with your iphone please not your beautiful nice invisalign teeth i haven't seen you do it with your mouth or eyes Or anything like that I've seen some people do that And that just frightens me Oh yeah, when they put it in the eye socket It's a step too far for me But when you say seatbelt

It makes it sound like I'm drinking and driving But the seatbelt is a wonderful Drinking and driving and taking your seatbelt off While doing it A wonderful bottle opener Why were you, why did you What was the, anyway, I don't know. Anyway, it's a sad reflection when now my phone opens more bottles of Heineken

than it does receive calls. Rated M for mildly amusing. Jono and Ben on the hits. Felt like the first day of full normality yesterday. Out on the road, saw a little bit of road rage, backed up traffic. I was like, these are the good old days. It's good to see. Good to see you getting back out there, Ben. That's what you've always said, let's get back out there. I know.

Well, it does feel like it's time now. Everyone's ready for it. I was a big campaigner for opening the borders in 2021. Right through the whole thing. I was like, open the borders. Yeah, maybe a little too early, but it's fine. Do you know I've come to a realisation that with certain items in my life, and I'm sure it might be the same for you as well,

You know, you've lost all respect for those sunglasses. At the start, you're like, I'm going to keep these in the case every time I take them off and all that.

And then you clean the lenses. Cleaning the lenses. Why don't you get the first couple, one or two scratches, and you're like, oh, they're gone. They're gone. You're like,

I'll still wear them, but I won't care for them as much. Until you end up, like I have now, just wandering around with one lens that's just fallen out and just the other one's inside. But I also have the same relationship with my cell phone. Right. You get a new cell phone, which I did a couple of years ago, and boy, oh boy, you just, you treat that thing with the utmost dignity and respect,

don't you? A new cell phone, get a new case for it, constantly wiping the screen, cleaning it. But now I use it as a bottle opener. He does, actually. He can open, which says a lot about you, you can open beer bottles with most items. You can tell you've worked at The Rock.

You can. I mean, you pass me an item in here, I can probably open a beer bottle. Without a word of a lie. It's my only talent. You put. I mean, you passed me an item in here. I could probably open a beer bottle. Without a word of a lie. It's my only talent. You put me on that 60 Second Show. I'll give a beer bottle to any item and I'll open it up. I've seen you open it with taking your belt off and done it. I've seen you do it with seat belts.

I've seen you do it with your iPhone. Please not your beautiful, nice, invisalign teeth. I haven't seen you do it with your mouth or eyes or anything like that. I've seen some people do that and that just frightens me. Oh, yeah. When they put it in the eye socket, it's a step too far for me. Yeah.

But when you say seatbelt, it makes it sound like I'm drinking and driving. But the seatbelt is a wonderful... Drinking and driving and taking your seatbelt off while doing it. A wonderful bottle opener. Why were you... Why did you...

What was the... Anyway, I don't know really. Anyway, it's a sad reflection when now my phone opens more bottles of Heineken than it does receive calls. Kia ora, I'm Rachel Jackson-Lees and this is the B**** News. Time for the peeps to beeps, Ben. We get Belle Crawford to download the latest hard-hitting news headlines and make them even harder by beeping out certain words.

Belle, what's the first story, mate? Last ditch effort to find owner of... dumped at airport for more than two years. So we have to guess what the word of the beeper could be. I'm thinking it could be looking for the owner of a paranoid pouch that was last seen on Jono Pryor's waist. Backstory for this one is we went to Europe once for work and he was very paranoid about getting pickpocketed.

Well I looked online and he wore what he called the paranoid pouch for the whole trip until he lost it and left it on the plane. Yeah I did. It was an internal pouch that housed my passport spending money and I was very paranoid. Fair enough.

I thought everyone was trying to pickpocket me. Everywhere I looked. And was trying to... And you left it. The irony is you did actually leave it on the plane. Yeah, we landed and we were waiting for our luggage and I was like, the paranoid pouch. And went running through the airport like a movie. Was your passport in it?

My passport was in it. So you lost it? Yeah. I got it on the plane. So I'm thinking it's the paranoid pouch that was lost. What do you think is the beep word? I'm going to go last ditch effort to find owner of crying boyfriend dumped at the airport for more than two years.

He's just been sitting there sobbing at the BB's cafe. Last ditch effort to find owner of car dumped at airport for more than two years. What's this about? Yeah, so you remember that story you might have seen in the news recently? There's been a car, a Suzuki Swift, a blue one, at New Plymouth Airport for more than two years. So around the time the pandemic started, maybe someone was traveling here, had to leave. A lot of things happened. It was a lot going on.

And this car, they're trying their last chance effort to find this 2018 Suzuki Swift with the license plate LMP788. Because they have just kept it there. And so they need to get it gone. It's been there two years. That happened to David Seymour, the ACT Party MP. Excuse me. Remember that? He parked just before New Zealand went into lockdown.

And his car was left at the Auckland airport. And what was the bill? It was like tens of thousands of dollars of parking. And they waived it. Auckland airport waived it for them. Yeah, wonderful stuff. Well, there we go. Why don't they do a giveaway?

Win this all-new Suzuki Swift. Is it New Plymouth Airport? Yeah. Come to Taranaki and win a Suzuki Swift. That's a great promotion. What's the next day news headline, Belle? Spicy **** launched into space. Spicy something launched.

I'm going to go the spicy video Ben sent around to the group email yesterday around work. And we're like, gee whiz, that cannot even be on planet Earth. Let's send that footage up to space. All right, I'm going to guess it's the new name for the Spice Girls without Victoria Beckham, Posh Spice. It's the Spicy Girls and they've launched them into space. All right, let's find out. Spicy kebab launched into space. Almost.

Yeah, it's a pretty funny story. I like this one. Spicy kebab launched into space. Almost. Yeah, it's a pretty funny story. I like this one. I thought you'd enjoy it. Now, this restaurant owner in Turkey marked the 61st anniversary of the human spaceflight by trying to launch a kebab into space attached to a helium balloon. And it reached a height of 40 k's, but didn't quite make it to space. 40 k's is still tremendously high for a kebab. What happens? I always wonder

all the stuff we're sending up there where does it go? Does it come back down? Yeah well it's gravity. So the kebab came hurtling back to earth at some point. There's never any follow up on this stuff. You're right. Someone's out in the head with a kebab. And that is the

more unusual stories beeped out from the world. It is the hits. You're right. Someone's up in the head with a kebab. And that is the more unusual stories that beeped out from the world. It is the hits. You got Jono and Ben. Harry Styles coming to New Zealand next year.

Very, very excited about that. Love on tour. He's going to be in March at Mount Smart Stadium. And every day this week we have a double

pass to give away to Harry Styles. It could be one. You can get all the tickets at livenation.co.nz of course. But Jono Pryor outside to explain more how does this game work.

Reporting live with the people, Ben. Out on the street. The John Campbell of the Jono and Ben show with the battlers. I'm 95 metres in the air. Craned in the air. Imagine it. Harnessed up.

High vis. Minimal clothing. Maximum sexiness. And I have two melons that I am holding. Not a euphemism. Melon A and melon B. You just need to decide which watermelon we drop from this watermelon

sugar high height. And one of them contains a double pass to harrystyles at gmail.com. Okay, we've got Candice on R800 The Hits. Good morning, Candice. Good morning, how are you? We're doing all right. Now, I understand if you win this double pass, just add a bit more pressure to Jono right now,

you would take your daughter to her first concert. Yes, I would. She's in the other room listening to the radio and she's picked which watermelon. Oh, this is odd. A six-year-old has picked this, Jono.

Which watermelon has your daughter picked? She's picked A. Watermelon, sugar, A. Come on. I, as a responsible parent, refuse to throw the watermelon. Six years old is too young.

Too young to go to Harry Styles. I'm pulling the pins on this competition now. We're going to do this. This is harsh. This is 50-50 charts. Please be the right one. What was it? A.

Watermelon A. Count me down. Okay. Five, four, three, two, one. It's off, man. Wow, it's a red massacre. Redder than my skin after a day in the sun. Yes.

I'm just siphoning through here. Has it got the ticket for Candice and her daughter? Unfortunately not, Candice. Oh, no. Guess what, Candice. Oh, no. Guess what, Candice? What? I'm only joking. It had the tickets.

Yes! This is a roller coaster. Also, like, how were you up high and down on the ground going? Anyway, so many unanswered questions. Oh, yes! Yes! Jono somehow has teleported. He's like Doctor Strange.

And Candice and her daughter, they will be teleporting to Harry Styles next year. Oh, thank you so much. I can hear she's jumping up and down. She's really excited. Oh, you guys know that. It's going to be incredible. Harry Styles in New Zealand next year. All right, you enjoy that, Candice, all right?

Thank you. Bye, Candice. Pete right? Thank you. Bye, Candice. Ben, Ben, Ben. Yeah? Mate, don't pull the curtain back. Sorry. Okay? Sorry.

We were all thinking that, but anyway, I shouldn't have said that. If you want to head to the Hits Breakfast on Facebook, head to the Hits Breakfast. You can see our watermelon video with Jono actually dropping the watermelon. What do you mean actually dropping watermelon? From a great height. You're still dropping it, but obviously not quite as far as you made out. You can comment on that video at the Hits Breakfast and win a double pass to Harry Styles as well.

So get to the Hits Breakfast right now to win your double pass. It is the Hits. One great way to make the morning commute a little more stressful. Jono and Ben on the hits. Traffic, of course, building up around the country as many people return to work, and it'd be nice to be spending that time in traffic in a brand-new Škoda,

and it could be you at 8 o'clock this morning when cash and car is back, 8 o'clock, your next guess. And we'll recap on the clues that were handed out yesterday, some big banger clues for day one. Oh, yeah, I thought even the first one we had yesterday, I was like, oh. Yeah. That surprised me. Because you need to guess the exact dollar value of all the cash hidden in the boot of the car.

There's a lot of cash in there. Yeah, I think we went too early with big clues. Yeah. I want to drag this thing out as long as possible. I still want us to be doing this in December 2023. It's an amazing price. Do you know something I noticed, Ben? You've got this on your answer phone Which I encountered yesterday

On your voicemail Yeah You know when you leave a message We always feel the need to apologise Sorry I can't take your call right now Please leave a message So why are we apologising Because chances are in reality

You've screened my call you're the opposite of sorry not sorry then i'm probably gonna text you and then you're gonna pretend you never saw the text so there's no sorry about it but everyone we're sorry i can't make the phone right now you're right actually you're not apologetic about it most times yeah no if anything i'm glad to avoid you. You're probably either wanting money or wanting something from me that I can't be bothered doing at the moment.

And please leave a message from a lot of people. No one wants you to leave a message. Don't leave me a... So in reality, it should be like, listen, to be honest,

I can't be bothered talking to you right now. I probably screened your call. Yeah, for a range of reasons, nothing personal. And whatever you do, don't leave a message because I will not

be clearing it. Yeah. Yeah, you can send a text, but then again, I'll probably pretend I haven't seen it. You know, let's... nothing personal and whatever you do don't leave a message because I will not be clearing it yeah you can send a text but then again I'll probably pretend I haven't seen it you know it's just going to make

things awkward the next time we catch up more honest more honest answer phone the other one is to please leave a message after the beep now we've been doing

we've been doing answer phone messages for years now we all know the format you don't need to say there's a beep coming and then and then do the beep you know maybe there was a point that you needed to but you're right it was yeah back

in the day you know the 80s and 90s we're all getting our heads around how this technology worked but now the beep's just part and parcel it's up there saying sorry i can't take your call right now it's just all part of the game the other one I like with the answer phones, and there is no time that this hasn't got me. Bell Crawford, you might be the same. When someone goes, hello, and then there's a pause and you're like, hey mate! And they're like, hello! And you're like, hey mate, I'm here!

Can you hear me? Hello! Sorry, I can't make it to the phone right now. And you're like, you... It's a great joke. No, it's pretty old now. My mum unwittingly did that on her message just from recording it. She sort of goes, hello, Jenny. And then she just sort of paused. And then she carried on with the message.

But it gets me every time. And she didn't mean to do a joke. Does Jenny know you can do a second take? No, I don't think so. One and done. She's like, it's as good as I'm going to go. You get the raw Jenny when I perform. Okay. Mmm, coffee breath. good as I'm going to go. You get the raw Jenny when I perform. Okay?

Coffee breath. Jono and Ben on the hits. Mother's Day is on Sunday this weekend, and thanks to Celebration Box, instead of posting to Instagram, which some people do, they put messages out there, we thought we would put a message for one lucky mum

in a place that everyone would see, the Herald on Sunday. So we've got a full-page ad booked out. Full-page ad. Now, this is a money-can't-buy. Well, you can actually buy it just over $10,000. I checked the rate card last night. So, you know, this is a huge prize.

Yeah, and so you can put a full-page ad for your mum in the Herald on Sunday. It's thanks to Celebration Box. You can get gift boxes, flowers, personalized cookies, candy, fruit baskets, and more delivered by Celebration Box in time for your mum for Mother's Day. They're awesome, those Celebration Box. I've always wanted someone to send me one of those, but no one has. Is it leading? You're like looking at me.

It'd be weird if John was like, hey, I got you this. But now if I send it to you, you'd be like, oh, you only sent it to me because I bullied you on air. We'll get Jade on. Welcome, Jade. How are you in Auckland, mate? Morning, I'm good, thank you, and you? Happy 30th birthday, we understand.

Yes, thank you. And you? Happy 30th birthday, we understand. Yes, thank you. Happy birthday. He doesn't like me singing happy birthday. I would sing happy birthday, Jay, but Ben's not a fan of the song. He thinks it lags, it goes too slow. But just know the sentiments are there. Now, you want to look like the bougiest child ever and take out a full-page ad for your mum on Mother's Day this Sunday?

Yes, I definitely want to be the favourite. Yeah, what an extra, extra read-all about it. Loving child executes the most heartwarming Mother's Day gift. You're going to have a lot of people jealous of this act, Jade, if this is you, but what we thought we might do is just get everyone in the mood for the advertising, what you want to place on the ad. So we've got the audio version of an advertising campaign for your mum. So what we want you to do right now is we need you to obviously fill in the blanks

with some details that we could put in the ad about your mum, okay? Yeah, no, that sounds good. Thank you. Okay, here we go. Hi, I'm here to fill in this full-page ad in the Herald on Sunday about the greatest mum in the world. Her name is... Linda. Linda, okay, Linda.

Linda, that is a great mum name too. It is. You wouldn't get a more mum name than Linda. Okay, so we've got Linda in the ad. What else have we got in there? She's just fantastic, but not as fantastic as the pet name she has for me. She likes to call me...

Do you have a pet name? Does Linda call you something? Yeah, so my nickname is JD Bum. JD Bum. Do we now call you JD Bum from this point on or is that a little weird? I think it's a bit weird for JD Bum but I like it. It's a good mum pet name.

Okay, that's good. That's good for the ad so far. Let's continue. There's no limit to what mum will do for me including that embarrassing time when I What did you do? Anything embarrassing you can think of? There's no limit to what mum will do for me, including that embarrassing time when I... What did you do? Anything embarrassing you can think of? Yeah, so recently when I gave birth of my third youngest,

you know, when you get an epidural, or the guy who did it, I thought he actually drugged me and he actually wasn't the person who did it. Oh, so you thought someone had come in and basically roofied you or something? Yeah, yeah. And I was, like, crying and telling my mum, and then she told the midwife, and they, like, started laughing. And they're like, he has about 20 years' worth of experience.

So I felt quite, you know, like, silly. Yeah, I mean, it's hard accusing someone of drugging you. When it's actually their job as a medical professional. There you go, Jade. Hey, good work. So that's a little, I don't know if that was a practice run for your mum's head or a shaming of you. But you did a wonderful job. You're in the draw.

And guess what, Jade? For your 30th birthday and for Mother's Day, we're going to send you out a celebration box. Oh, that sounds lovely. Thank you so much for that. No worries, and all the best. And hopefully your mum will get that full page out in the New Zealand Herald on Sunday. Thanks for the celebration box. Thank you.

Fingers crossed. Scrolling through your feed. Let's hop aboard Rolls Royce, boys, for some news. I tell you what, if we ever start a male dance troupe that tours the country is entertaining hen's parties. You can be Rolls Royce boys. Oh, yeah. Ladies, come on up. Rolls Royce boys.

I don't think there's anything luxurious about me. That's for sure. The most unluxurious Rolls Royce in the market. A little bit beaten up. Oh, is it secondhand? I thought it was getting brand new Rolls Royce. Oh, that's so good. Hey, last night, Dancing with the Stars, of course, it's back on three.

And for the second week in a row, there was a shock elimination. This is what happened last night. Our second couple to be eliminated from Dancing with the Stars 2022 and leaving the dance floor tonight is... Eli and Johnny. Yeah, now they, again, I thought... Jeez, those screams,

blood curdling, aren't they, in the background? People would pick Eli and Johnny to win the competition, so it was a real shock last night

to see them send home. Maybe it was Eli's agent going, no! We get paid by the week! But yeah, they were amazing. They've made history for the first same-sex couple on Dancing with the Stars.

And it was really awesome to see the other night. We're going to catch up with Johnny, who has sadly been eliminated. But it was awesome to see him. It was emotional. He was even talking about the messages that they've got. It's such an amazing thing for New Zealand's LGBTQIA plus community. Absolutely. And Eli, we know Eli,

and he's a true gentleman and a wonderful man. And what a great poster child as well to go on there and represent too. Yeah. Eli, actually speaking of Eli, because we did work with Eli for many, many years. One of my favorite Eli stories, he told us when he was working on Jono and Ben, was as an up-and-coming comedian,

Bell Crawford, he got asked by Reece Darby, who's of course, you know, famous Reece Darby, to babysit his kids. And he's like, of course you're not going to say asked by Rhys Darby, who's of course, you know, famous Rhys Darby, to babysit his kids and he's like, of course you're not going to say no to Rhys Darby All the babysitting money as well that's 20, that's a green

tax-free queen in the hands. But it ended up with Eli unfortunately, he somehow managed to lock himself out of the house while the kids were inside the house. Well he claims, this is his story, is he went out to get something and then Darby's pranking kids locked the door on him.

And he's like, come on guys. And they're like, no. And they're like, come on guys. And so he's out and there's a four year old and a six year old running rampant inside the Darby.

I don't know. They're inside by themselves. I'm sure they're fine. I don't think Darby had actually heard that story and we accidentally told him during an interview. And he's like, what?

The kids were in there alone for how long? And I thought, hours from what I understood. The kids are fine. Everyone's fine. It's all fine. Well, it's not all fine because this lady on TikTok in America, she spent $300 on getting a haircut that she claimed made her look like a Karen. Here's her on her video.

Oh, my god. I just paid $300 to look like a f***ing Karen. I look like I'm on the PTA. I swear I don't drive a van. I look like I have three sons

who play t-ball. I look like I have three sons who play t-ball. I look like a collectible part. That's very good. The video's had 5.8 million views. Five million of those by me alone this morning. It's really, really good. I'm on the PDA. Actually, my daughters was telling me about

they were doing a performance with their cousins, a show for the family. And then my daughter, Indy, was like, I need to look like a Karen. That's my character. And so I helped dress her, Actually, my daughters was telling me about they were doing a performance with their cousins, a show for the family. And then my daughter, Indy, was like, I need to look like a Karen. That's my character. And so I helped dress her and we found some, my wife's cardigan, like my wife's glass, a few other things.

And then when she turned up the concert, my wife's like, oh, I see. The Karen character. I'm a Karen. I was like, oh, that wasn't the intention. I was just trying to, you know. We just pulled everything from your wardrobe and ta-da. Worked with what I've got here, so yeah.

I love how it's just really taken off too with the kids, the Karen thing. Like when I was going to make a complaint about an order I made, and he's like, don't be a Karen. Don't be a Karen. It's coming to the vernacular beautifully, isn't it? Sorry for all the Karens. There are many, many lovely Karens, but anyway. Who?

I've said that, but I don't want to say their last names on radio. We'll say what one does. Well, one's a good friend of my daughter's, the mother of the daughter, and she's awesome. She's a great lady. Yeah, she's amazing. Well, we'll shout out to that Karen. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, I think we should do a show, a whole show dedicated to friendly Karens. Yeah, exactly. Suffered some brand damage over the last two years. Such a bad rap, but that is scrolling through your feed this morning. But it's the hits. Five words for 5K.

You're just five words away from $5,000. It is our Game of Word Association. We play it every morning at 7.45. We tell you five words. You tell us what pops into your head after those five words are full. Five match up with one of ours. You win $5,000. This is the game show people are gagging to get on, Ben.

Gags are being removed from mouths and weird dungeons just so you can come and play five words. Let's get Michelle on from Wellington. How are you? Good, thanks. How are you? Fun fact about Michelle, six kids. I haven't had six, but we have six together. I've had three.

Running a busy household, though, aren't you? I thought you liked the baby factor. Incredible. And Michelle, five grand would go a long way, I imagine, with six children in the household. What would you spend it on? Well, all of us are going over to Australia this year, so I just imagine it's quite expensive.

So six. So there's eight of you travelling to Australia. I kind of like that move. You're seeing cheaper by the dozen? Yeah. Except you're like the half dozen. Yeah. Pretty much. All like the half dozen. Yeah. Pretty much.

All right, Michelle, who do you want to send into the soundproof booth? They won't be able to hear what's going on. John or Ben? Ben, please. Ben, sitting on into the compression chamber for a brief while while we try and win you $5,000, Michelle. What are you doing in Wellington, mate? Corporate services manager. Corporate

services manager. I'll just repeat back your job title because I have no idea what that is but I hope the the corporates are being serviced and managed appropriately. Yes they are. Okay Michelle let's get the first word out of the way. Cuppa. First word they're all Mother's Day themed too by the way Michelle. Cuppa. Cuppa. First word. They're all Mother's Day themed too, by the way, Michelle. Cuppa. Cuppa. Tea. Cuppa. Tea. There we go. The first cab off the rank. Husband. Coming in at number two. Husband, wife

Okay. Boss. Boss. Job. Job? Yeah, job. Job. Job? Yeah, job. Okay, the last word this morning for five words, Mother's Day themed, love.

Mum. Love, mum. You did well, Michelle. You managed that beautifully, like you do managing corporate services in your role day to day. Michelle, Michelle's done well, mate. Kate, the only one who can screw this up right now is my friend Ben Boyce. You looked at me when I came out of Sanford and thought, oh, too soon, mate.

You've come too soon. I was like, oh, no. Or did I give you a look of like you've caught me doing something? What is he doing here? Go away. Okay, first word this morning. You need to match with the Rochelle. That's still Mother's Day themed, isn't it?

That's correct. Yeah, all Mother's Day themed. Okay. Cuppa. Tea. Cuppa tea. Good. One from one.

Husband. Wife. How are you and your six children feeling, Rochelle? A little bit nervy. You're doing well. You're doing well. You're doing well. Two down. Third word.

My mum used to hit me with a candle? She didn no. My mum used to hit me with a candle? She didn't. She didn't. She didn't. Taking back that domestic abuse claim. That's not true. No, it was wax. Wax.

So I see why you went wax there. Hey Michelle, you did well. You're going to have a great Tuesday in Wellington, alright? Thank you. You too. Another chance tomorrow morning for someone to win when we play five words for $5,000 every morning. Cash and card not too far away. That's an amazing prize.

That person who didn't let you merge probably listens to a lesser radio station. Don't know when being on the heads. So my wife at the moment, Amanda, her two brothers are back from the States, which is your wife at the moment. Oh, sorry. My wife. Sorry.

My wife. I don't want to, you know, you got to keep your options. I have no. Okay. Sorry. My wife, Amanda, her brothers are back at the moment. Unless another one subs off the bench at the moment. They're back from the States, which is awesome to have them in the house

because it's been a long time since you can have people back in New Zealand. Well, I used to go and visit them sometimes in America, didn't you? The San Francisco Bay area there. Yeah, I went over by New York as well, which was pretty cool. And they've been in America for a while. And one of them was telling a story about when he first got to America, you know, over a decade ago, got a new job. And you a little bit nervous, I guess, because you're from New Zealand, you're in America, it's a new country and particularly with the driving. Now I've driven

with you in America and you've been driving at four. Well, the problem is you find yourself veering off to the middle of the road just because of the way we're used to driving. And many times I've, I think I clipped off a couple of wing mirrors on the rental and Ben was, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I see the whole time just go, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. You just find yourself naturally veering off into the completely wrong and most dangerous direction,

the middle of the road. Yeah, so Amanda's brother was borrowing the work car, the work car, one of the first days at work and had to go somewhere and was trying to navigate his way around the city, he didn't know, driving on the other side of the road. What I do appreciate about the American roading system though is, you know, I love running red lights, Ben, it's one of my things.

It's in the morning when there's no other traffic around, obviously. You can do that little turn that you're allowed to do. You can do the left turn. Yeah. There's cameras. Yeah, if there's a red arrow. On a road in America, you can do it. It's allowed, it's allowed.

There's a turn if no one's coming. I do it here anyway. Yeah, you're not allowed here. Oh, no, but in America you can do it. It's allowed. It's allowed. There's a turn if no one's coming. I do it here anyway. Yeah, you're not allowed here. Not allowed here, but you can get away with it. But, yeah, that's a great road rule. Yeah, so a man unfortunately was kind of like you, ended up running a light that had sort of gone from orange to red and was like, oh, oh, oh, and just had to go through.

And unfortunately it was a policewoman on the other side and she should have put out her hand. She was like, pull on over here. And so he had to stop the car. And what he did was he didn't realize at the time he had just it was a bit overwhelming i imagine in that situation uh still an automatic he took his foot off the brake and he lurched forward and hit the police oh dear god like not like you're just just enough for the police officer to go, are you kidding me, right? Yeah.

And then obviously she wasn't particularly happy about this, thinking, oh God, this is not going to go well. Can I see your license? And that was back in the day when New Zealand had a sort of fold out. Piece of paper. Fold out piece of paper. And she was like looking like, what is this?

Is it from New Zealand? Is it a license? Does she have anything else? We haven't got plastic yet. I've got an international license. Again, he unfolded another piece I've got an international license. Again, he unfolded another piece of paper to say international license.

She looked at it. She looked at the thing and she's like, you won't do that again, will you? He's like, no, definitely not. All right, it's too much work. Too much admin.

There's some very relaxed policing from America there. Very relaxed policing. Those were some great days for the New Zealand driver's license, weren't they? The old paper one. Especially when we were

growing up because you had to show your driver's license, weren't they? The old paper one. Especially when we were growing up, because you had to show your driver's license to get into any establishment that required identification. You could go to Whitcalls and buy these bloody scratch-on stencil things. Like, this is how I relaxed our drivers. You could scrape off the details that were on the license, and then just scrape

on new details. You had a whole new alias. You wouldn't do it, though, right? You wouldn't do it. But fraud was a lot more obtainable back in the 80s and 90s. There was no photo ID or anything, was there? No. No, you have to work hard nowadays. Not back then. You just had to remember some guy called Gary McCormick,

chartered accountant who's 56 years old. You just got to remember his birthday. Why you got Gary McCormick's licence? Why did I say that? Why was it the first name you thought of? That's Cash in Car. Guess how much cash we've stashed in the Škoda's boot and drive it home along with all that money. And it's back for another year.

The Hits Cash in Car, the brand new Škoda Camac Monte Carlo car worth just under $46,000 and thousands of thousands of dollars in the boot as well. You win both if you guess the exact amount of money that's in the back of the Skoda. Now we're joined in studio by cash keeper Alex, who is doing a wonderful job, but also wearing a jersey today that says Junior Black Sticks. Now, I've only seen you for four minutes, but in that four minutes you've been asked four times, did you play in the Junior Black Sticks?

By both of us individually. By both of us, yeah. I did not uh imagine this when i woke up this morning and just chucked this on without without being able to see and then walked in here and i went straight over to a uh to the other side of the office got asked twice so that's six times in six minutes well because it's a junior like junior black sticks it's an obtainable sporting team like if it was an all blacks top top, you're like, no. Oh, you played hockey. Okay, Junior Black 6. This could have been

when I was 14, you know. But no, sadly, I was gifted this by someone that wasn't the Junior Black 6. Yeah, there you go. Alright, so Cash Cuper Alex,

yesterday there was a whole lot of guesses coming through. No one as of yet has got the exact amount of dollars in the back of that shkoda. No, they have not.

I'm sure the bosses would be stressed if they had. So the big clue, the big clue is it's more money than was given away last year. Yes, huge clue. That was the one consistent message. That was the narrative, as they say, coming through yesterday.

Tyler, you're on from Te Araha. Morena, how are you? I'm so good. How are you? I'm so good as well. We're all so good. I tell you what, new car, whole load of cash. Just one of those prizes is enough.

But we're given both of those things. What would you do with this, apart from the obvious? Oh, I don't know. I'd be shocked, to be honest with you. I'd probably put the money down to start saving towards a house and maybe donate the car to my parents or something. At the moment, I've actually just bought my own car, so it'd be awesome to pay that off.

Oh, you're in a hole. So you'd use this cash to pay off your new car and then give your new car to your parents. I see. All right, we're digging Tyler out of a hole here. We'll do anything to help. Okay, so you need to have a guess as to the exact dollar and cent value

of how much cash could be hidden in the boot of the Škoda. Okie dokie. I've got a random number in my head, and that is $16,327.42. I'm not giving anything away here with my face. No, you're good poker face. I'm looking at you, you know,

like trying to gauge if she's around the right ballpark money. Will we be giving away a cash and car right now? So, Tyler, that is incorrect. I'm so sorry. A for effort. Yeah, no, no. Can we do higher or lower now? We're at that stage?

No. No. And the tide. Sorry. I've been trying to hack into Cash Keep Alex's devices for the last 24 hours. Can't get in. Can't get in because the figure's inside Nature's iPad, her brain. That's where it's stored.

So you're asking me about if I'm in the Junior Black 6 to try and get into the... Yeah. Build up your ego a bit, you know? Okay, good on you, Tyler. Another chance at 11 o'clock you can enter on iHeartRadio, the app, can't you be? Yeah, you submit your cash in card guess with your name and phone number right now on the iHeartRadio app. That's the app for iHeartRadio. And Cash Keeper Alex could be calling you back at 11 o'clock to get the next guess.

As someone's going to win that amazing, amazing prize thanks to Shkoda. Your essential listening for non-essential banter. Jono and Ben on the hits. We've got a Hollywood insider joining us live from Hollywood on the phone, N.T. Lawyer. Hey, thanks for having me, guys. Good to have you on again. Guess who got booted off Dancing with the Stars NZ?

I mean, Eli, the bookmakers are super happy right now. I cannot believe that Eli is gone. I love how invested you are in Dancing with the Stars New Zealand. It's amazing. You picked Eli to win the whole thing? I think a lot of people did, yeah. Oh, I did. I 100% picked him to win,

and two top favourites gone back-to-back like that? That's crazy. Oh, showbiz, baby, showbiz. Now, Andy Lawyer, we wanted to talk Kardashians. Are they nice people? Have you met them? I have met every single one, I guess. I see some of them more often.

Actually, Scott, who is not really, you know, he's kind of an off Kardashian now at this point, Kardashian adjacent, I've probably met him the most followed by courtney who i still think is the nicest and then probably the least i've seen is is kendall and kylie just because they're so much younger than me so i don't really kind of go to the same places and stuff it would just be weird yeah but i i want to know how you guys feel about pete davidson having the tattoo of kim kardashian's children on his neck. I was so confused because wasn't he getting rid of some of his tattoos? We're reading articles that he was getting some tattoo laser because it was better for his movie career.

And then all of a sudden he gets new tattoos. I mean, I can't judge anyone for bad tattoos. I've got many myself. But I found that a bit confusing. Yeah, I don't. He's known them for how long very very little time and what if they break up tomorrow it just maybe he's just oh you know i have tattoos so it doesn't matter i'll go ahead put these on there and maybe he's just part of

the attention thing because kim had hinted oh he's got a lot more meaningful tattoos about i it's very he's really caught up in the whole publicity Kardashian machine at this point. It's a treadmill, it's a high-speed treadmill, and it's very dangerous to get off. Well, what I like about Pete Davidson anyway, he's in there now and he's giving hope for all of us pasty, skinny white, badly tattooed people here in the world. He's doing it for us.

We've got Auntie Lawyer with us on the phone live from Hollywood. We catch up with them every week. So the Kardashians, they obviously get a lot of stick, but we always kind of jump to their defense going, well, they've clearly worked very hard to get to where they are. Do you think they're talented people? Okay. Here's what I've always said,

is that I think that Kim Kardashian is one of the hardest working people ever. I will never take that away from her. The same with Kris Jenner. However, I will not necessarily give that same benefit of the doubt to the rest of the family because so much of that has just been given to them. There's very little that they need to do. I mean, Kim makes appearances all the time. She's making phone call things all the time, radio interviews, whatever, doing her designer clothing line while Kylie just has that kind of done for her by her mom. Kourtney really doesn't do anything. Khloe doesn't really do anything. They kind of all just been blessed by the fact

that Kim had sex with another man and decided to report it and sell it. But I've always said that Kim is a very hard worker, and I won't take that away from her. And Kris Jenner said, you know, at the very beginning, you know, asked about, oh, you're a reality star. No, I'm a marketer. That was her number one answer from forever ago is that she's not a reality star. She's a marketer, and she does that very, very, very well. Previously, when Caitlin was Bruce, you know, he had $0 and then gets married to Chris, and Chris said, look, here's what you're going to do.

We're going to sign you up. You're going to start speaking and things and all this kind of stuff because you have $0, and now we have a family, and she did that. She's a genius. Now, speaking of saucy tapes, I've got one of my colleague Ben here. Do you think we could get that out in Hollywood? We just had no traction over here. No traction at all.

It's a little sad. You want to see a grown man cry? Well, that's on that tape, that's for sure. Indy Lawyer, we really do enjoy catching up with you. You keep safe. Thank you so much for your time. Hey, thanks. We really do enjoy catching up with you. You keep safe. Thank you so much for your time. Hey, thanks. I'll talk to you guys next week.

The Annoying Ones Talking Between the Socks. Jono and Ben on the hits. I want to play a wee game with you, Jono Pryor, because we've all got emails at the moment, and something you don't do from time to time is check your spam. Now, spam, you know, we've said some bad things about spam. Obviously, there's a lot of spam going around on Facebook pages at the moment. But you never actually go into the spam folder and go through your spam

and try and work out what's legit or what's not. Well, no program is working harder on your computer than the spam folder, is it? I mean, it's doing a lot of heavy lifting. It's a labyrinth of advertising, haggling, and blackmail, isn't it, your spam folder? And you don't give it any respect. So from time to time, I want to play a little game, and you can play it at home as well, and check your computer.

What's in your spam? So open up your spam. We'll go one for one. You look at something in your spam. I'll go look at something, and we'll find out if it's legit or not. Okay. What have you got? Open up the folder.

Oh, subject line, your prostate is the size of a lemon. This is from Ralph Dixon 1, who's obviously very, it's like, what email you must pay attention to. I haven't even looked at this. See this? How is your prostate? You haven't even been, how are you sitting down right now?

Does it drive you mad you can't get through one good night of restful sleep? And does it drive your wife crazy too? There's a trick to make my prostate function better and can naturally save my prostate. The size of a lemon.

I did not know that. It's enormous, Bell Crawford. You've got a spam folder too you're looking at now. Yeah, I keep getting asked if I want to be a sugar baby by sugar daddies from America. I'm pretty sure it's not all legit.

Well, it might be. You never know. If I was you, I'd do it. I wouldn't mind a designer bag every couple of weeks. Leave your dignity at the door. Become a sugar baby. Oh, Zuckerberg. Mark Zuckerberg.

I'm just chilling at home. I could use a helping hand. We could chat now and get wild later. Would you like to meet? Yes or no? Did you like the photos? Well, I haven't seen the photos, but yeah. I haven't seen the photos.

But no, I'm going to say no to that one. But that's a wee game you can play what's in your spam I love it how Mark Zuckerberg's reached out via Gmail and not Facebook Messenger too Dancing with the Stars is of course back on three and last night well the New Zealand Herald are calling it one of the biggest shocks

in Dancing with the Stars history and Jono and Ben are calling it one of the biggest shocks in Dancing with the Stars history. And Jono and Ben are calling it one of the biggest shocks in Dancing with the Stars history. Eli and Johnny sent home last night. Our second couple to be eliminated from Dancing with the Stars 2022 and leaving the dance floor tonight is... Eli and Johnny. Just blood-curdling screams you can hear in the background there.

A shock last week with Sonia Gray going home, a shock this week with Eli Matheson going home. Two weeks running, and we're joined now on the phone by Johnny. Thanks so much for getting up this morning for us, Johnny. Good morning. Good morning, boys. How's it going? It's good. Lovely to have you on, Johnny. Really sorry to see you and Eli go.

You were the favourites. I had put my house and children on you two to win this competition. I have nowhere to live. I have no family, thanks to this. I'm so sorry. What's it like, though? Because I imagine you guys were probably pretty quietly confident you were going to go a certain way. I mean, we try not to think about the elimination.

It's pretty much the worst part of the show. Does it almost blindside you, like that, in that situation? I know you're in the bottom two. There's always that chance you're going home, but you guys have been one of the strongest, if not the best, dancers out there on the dance floor. Yeah, I mean, it's nice. I thought we were good.

I mean, that's pretty much a week in control. Super gutted, obviously. I had the best time and, like, I wouldn't change a thing. Yeah, it was just a crazy experience, something that I had no idea was going to turn out like it was. I mean, my job as a dance teacher is just I I teach boys all the time, part of my job. And then all of a sudden, the impact that it had, it was just crazy.

I just never knew it was going to happen. So I wouldn't change a thing. I'm super proud and super grateful to partner Eli. Well, you guys made history. You're the first same-sex couple on Dancing with the Stars in New Zealand to make such an impact for so many Kiwis. I saw you the other night on Dancing with the Stars. You were quite emotional with some of the messages you got

because it means so much, obviously, to Eli and the LGBTQIA plus community as well. So many messages are coming out to you guys. Yeah, that's the thing that I just didn't expect. I've done the show eight times and impacted people like that before, and it was just one of the best feelings I've ever had. Yeah, right. Yeah, you have impacted a lot.

And, hey, that's the real win. Yeah, it is. Who needs a glitter ball trophy when you do make an impact like that in people's lives, Johnny? And I definitely won the best show best shirt in the new watch. I'm super proud. Having worked with Eli before, he's a true gentleman. He really is, he really is.

Now, are you glad that you can stop Paso Doble-ing 23 hours a day and see your family again? It's not all bad. I bet there's a mix of, you know, a bit of sadness, but also a bit of joy of, well, getting your life back. You're exactly right. I mean, when you're safe, you have this moment of brief relief and happiness,

and then you get this sudden overwhelming feeling that you've got to do it all again. Yeah, the short space of time. Now, when you get eliminated, it's almost the opposite. It's briefly sad. It's like, well, get back to some sort of normal life.

Well, yeah, I noticed this morning a lot of angry people on social media, which just surprises me for social media. On social media, they're upset. What are you saying? But, you know, people are shocked that you guys were sent home. And someone actually suggested, why isn't it like the overseas version

where the judges decide between who's going home on the bottom two? I guess you have no idea why. I don't know why I'm asking this, Johnny, but why is that not the case? Yeah, I think the format is decided before it ran. It goes by week by week, and we just kind of show up and find out what's going to happen, and then we do it. Well, I heard the format was your vote, they don't even count the votes and they kick off who they want.

That's what I heard. You've been reading too many comments on Instagram. Oh, well, Johnny, you're an absolute champion, mate. You've done so well. As Ben said, you've made such a historic moment for the Dancing with the Stars series, so congratulations on that. And that's the real win there, bud. Yeah, thanks, guys.

I appreciate it. And thanks a lot. Who's going to win? Who's going to win now that you guys aren't in the competition? What does it say in the script? Support my wife, Christy Williams, dancing with Dave with Kelly. Now he's back at his wife, and that's the right thing to do. Hey, lovely to catch up with you, Johnny.

We'll talk to you soon. All right, boys. Spy. Know what's up. Spy.co.nz Celebrity gossip is what gets her out of bed in the morning

and also an obnoxious alarm clock. Belle Crawford, what's happening? Well, Kate Middleton has released some adorable photos of Princess Charlotte to mark her seventh birthday. They're growing up so quickly and I know a lot of people love seeing photos of their kids

Kate and William and you can see them all now at the hitstockho.nz. Gorgeous portraits and some flowers and Charlotte has the family's spaniel Orla with her as well and you can see she's lost some teeth got some adult ones coming through. She's so grown up. She looks like a wonderful hybrid of them.

If Prince William was a seven-year-old girl with hair, that's exactly what she looks like. Now is the Queen going to release photos of her kids, cute ones of Andrew and, you know, frolicking in there? Are there cute photos of Andrew? I don't know if that's the case. There might be some one he doesn't want online.

Yeah, move on from there. Now, photos of kids. Ben, you never show me photos of your kids. I never show you photos of my kids. Why not? Well, it's just not a done thing. But for some reason, when the Royals do it, we're all... Well, I guess people have, you know,

a lot of people have Facebook and Instagram and stuff. They'll put stuff on for their kids and stuff. Yeah. I take back what I said there. So that's the equivalent. But you're right. I don't every day go, hey, show me photos of your kids.

No, true. Here's my kids. And there's something funny or amusing for you. As soon as you go, oh, I've got a photo of my kids, I've turned off. Yeah, hey, should we photo you kids? No, true. Here's my kids, and there's something funny or amusing for you. As soon as you go, oh, I've got a photo of my kids, I've turned off. I've shut down. Also, a lot of people have been saying, you probably have in your feed, video clips of the

Amber Heard Johnny Depp trial. Now, Amber Heard is set to testify this week. She actually fired her whole PR team. She's not happy with their job doing this. To be fair, their PR hasn't been that good of late, to be honest. I mean, they tried to sweep

the old poo on the pillow under the rug, didn't they? But they couldn't do anything of that. They did shocking PR on that. Mind you, how do you spin that?

How do you turn that into a good thing? It wasn't the dog. They tried to say it was the dog. And then it was a prank gone wrong. We've had many pranks

gone wrong, John Oso. Do you know the worst one that I did to Ben at three in the morning is we went into his room and with Johnny Tugud from Sheehard

and played it woke him up and then let off confetti cannons and then for some reason I poured a bucket of water over his head cold water

unnecessarily I'm like I wouldn't do it now I'm all grown up now but anyway I did it but what we didn't factor in was the dye from the confetti and the water combined

leaked all over Ben's carpet. And so it didn't even get stuck to everyone's shoes. And as they walked out, it was like a blood scene of everywhere going and the whole carpet was. That was the real prank. I tried to spin some good PR on that one. That was hard to claw back. I fired my whole PR team after that.

A lot of people are wanting her to be pulled from the movie Aquaman, the sequel that will be coming out soon. The film company have actually said she's only in it for 10 minutes. It's got 10 minutes of screen time anyway. And it's too expensive to edit her out. We could try and superimpose another face on her, I guess.

Do like a bad Photoshop job. Tim Morrison was in the first one, New Zealand actor, which was awesome. It was a good movie. Jason Momoa. Yeah. Jason Momoa.

You and everyone else are sighing when you say that aren't they what I wouldn't give to just look like Jason Momoa also TikTok you may think

oh no that's not my thing you know it's for the kids and everything but actually a lot of people that may be your favourite actresses

it's now being ruled by the over 40 crowd people like Kim Kardashian and not just her either. She's been doing it without her daughter now. Reese Witherspoon's on there. I love following Reese on TikTok. Kate Hudson.

Also, Alicia Silverstone from Clueless. She's on there. Jono and Ben are on there. I think it's officially lost its coolness, TikTok, now. It's like when I started dabbing and saying, yuzur, like Pharrell and Snoop Dogg. Well, true. Yeah, you're right. You mocked me for going on TikTok and now you're like, well, you need to get on TikTok.

He went early, but he went early when it was all the 12-year-olds dancing along to WAP or whatever they were doing. It's not all about dancing. Anyway. Yeah, so it's really cool following people like that. You know, you've got those actresses playing throwbacks and then introducing you

to their kids and see what they're doing now. And also even like old people are on there as well. Oh, that's awesome. Have yourself a break. Sorry, that was really mean. We'll catch you tomorrow for sex. The Hits. For more podcasts from The Hits Network, check out iHeartRadio.co.nz.
