Jono and Ben, new to your mornings, friends of Skinny, New Zealand's most recommended telco. Happy, happy, happy, oh, oh. 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 today, Friday 11th of June, Legs 11 as they say in the bingo game, Ben. Is that because... Legs 11, they say in the bingo game, Ben. Is that because... I don't know. Legs 11 I guess two legs represent the ones. I guess so.

Why not? The bingo game. I love where we end up with these. We start with not a lot of planning and a lot of people would think that we have our radio show didn't have a lot of planning but we do. Legs 11 often announced during a game of craps at a casino as well.

Often described, often used to describe a pair of sexy legs on males and females. It doesn't say about bingo. Nothing about bingo, but I thought that's where it came from. And then maybe it's craps. Craps, Legs 11.

Oh no, Game of Bingo, it says here. Humorous nickname for 11 in the Game of Bingo. I want to know theps, Legs 11. Oh, no, Game of Bingo, it says here. It is, yeah. A humorous nickname for 11 in the Game of Bingo. I want to know the origins of Legs 11 now. Origin, early 20th century. Early youths found it. Now I'm clicking on. Yeah, click on. You've got to go through 11 pages here to get to this information,

but we'll write it. We'll stick with it. We'll stick with it. Oh, that's stick with me. I think you're less youths found by Arthur Guy Empey in 1883, but it doesn't say why or where. I love a catchphrase. Like, how does it catch on?

Imagine Arthur back in the day going, Legs 11. He's like, this is going to be my thing. This is going to be my thing. I'm going to ride it out, get it out there. And he would have kept banging on about it, Tony. Everyone's like, oh, Legs 11 again. Legs 11, Arthur.

Hey, but his hard work paid off in the end, didn't it? Yeah. Is it a catchphrase? Like, imagine owning a work paid off in the end, didn't it? Yeah. Yeah. Isn't it a catchphrase? Like, imagine owning a catchphrase. Tell you who's done well at that. Social media superstar, William Wido. Yes.

He can kick off a catchphrase. And he seems to come up with new ones. He doesn't just keep going, oh, Legs 11 for like 11 years. Like Arthur. Yeah, he's got like, howdy. What else does he do? Does he do? Does he do?

I don't think he does howdy. What a beauty. What a beauty. What ady. What else does he do? Does he do howdy? I don't think he does howdy. What a beauty. What a beauty was it going for a jog? He's been jogging every day for over 400 days in a row, I think now. In a row? Yeah, he's done over a year, and I think he's about 400 days of jogging, as he calls it. Yeah, so lots of different ones.

But he's really good at getting them going. There he is. Yeah, so lots of different ones. He's really good at getting them going. There he is. There he is. How's he? No. How's it? Holy Hecker? That's the one I'm thinking of. Howdy? It could be another one. Howdy? No, I think the

Wild West had that one. I tell you, the Radio Hauraki boys did a good one, didn't they? Izzy? That was Lee Hart. That's a that one. I tell you, the Radio Hauraki boys did a good one, didn't they? Izzy? Izzy? That was Lee Hart. That's a good catchphrase. That's a good one.

A friend of ours called Izzy Isabella. That's so good to go. Izzy? I enjoy that one. I've never tried to kick off a catchphrase. G'day, mate. There's another one from Hauraki. Very good as well.

Is it Lee Hart one too? Yeah, I think of Lee Hart, Jason Hoyt. I think. I think. I'm not too sure exactly of the origin of that one. Is that on Google? I know it's from, oh, it was Buddy Arthur again, wasn't it? Okay.

1883 was the first person to go, g'day mate. You've just got legs 11, so there you go. Podcast. Yeah, welcome to the podcast. We had a fun show today. Graham Norton. We spoke to him. You might have heard of him.

Yeah, Graham Norton. He got to talking about Mark Wahlberg The Mark Wahlberg incident on his show Which is very funny Mark Wahlberg And I was imagining I'm surprised it hasn't happened to him more often Well, when he plies his guests with alcohol

You know You'd imagine a few more would push the boat out Yeah A bit further than others But I guess, you know Maybe not Maybe they're on We used to do a TV show and we'd give the audience alcohol.

And, gee, some weeks that was a shocking decision, wasn't it? Oh, yeah, because we were opposite. Some weeks they'd end up heckling you as you were recording the TV show. Or Graham Norton just gives it to the guests. We'd give it to the audience. Remember, we were doing a show once and one guy was like, nice shirt, Ben. Oh, yeah.

In the middle of your TV. What kind of a shirt? And then someone burped and we were like, oh, it's that guy again. No, no, no, it was that lady or something. It was the lady, yes. It was like. We were like, did someone just burp during the middle of our television, live television thing? Yeah, it was a lot of fun.

It was fun, yeah. And that's what we used to do. We'd just smoke screen the shocking entertainment that was on offer with alcohol. Yeah, so enjoy the podcast today, which does feature Graham Norton. Friday, Graham Norton. You'll know him from the Graham Norton Show. Such a great show. He is the king.

He's one of the kings of chat, you know, and interviews as far as anyone goes in the world. Yeah, and it was an honour to actually, thanks to Envivo Wines, he was blending some wine with Envivo Wines yesterday and we were honoured to sit in the middle of Eden Park for some reason and talk to Graham via Zoom while he was on the giant Samsung big screen in the stadium. 40 feet screen, yeah.

It seemed very excessive but very necessary. Oh yeah, loved it. So we got to talk to Graham Norton in his only New Zealand interview. How are you, Graham? How are you, mate? No, I'm really good. You guys were so weird because I didn't know who you were. And so they say, oh, special guests. God, this is going to be awful.

It is, yeah. And I said to my friend, that's everyone watching, it's like, oh, that was very funny. That was actually funny. So really, what a nice surprise to meet you. Lovely to meet you. Lovely to meet you too, Graeme. Now, I don't know if you realise where you are right now,

but you are on a giant screen in the middle of a 50,000 seat stadium, and it's New Zealand's only screen, so we've booked it out for five minutes. Do my eye bags look big? You look great. You look enormous on the screen. Now you've been blending wine all morning. You've been trying the new wine. How's it been going? I mean, too well. I've got Sauvignon Blanc, I've got Rose, and now we're just trying the vodka.

So, I mean, the good thing is here it's quarter to 11 at night. So I feel the way I should feel at a quarter to 11 at night. It's not often we get a guest who preloads for an interview, but we are loving it. You're in an ideal state right now. You've got a bottle of it too. We've got a bottle. We're good to go.

Last time you blended Elbeth and Vivo, they flew grapes to the UK. You stomped on the grapes. Is there a little bit of Graham Norton's feet in the new bottle? I really hope not. I was so embarrassed about that because I totally forgot it was happening. They were sending grapes to Britain. On the day, I remember thinking, what should I do today?

And then, oh, I must moisturise my feet. You look at your feet and you're kind of like, there's not enough moisturiser in the world to make these feet camera ready. So hopefully no one actually drank anything that came out of that pressing. Yeah, no, well a little bit of athlete's foot in there. It was wonderful. You've got to keep up your foot moisturising. Yeah, I'm getting cocoa butter. 10 million bottles of wine sold so far. I mean, that is amazing.

I mean, how many of those were drunk by you during lockdown? Oh, about 6 million. Now, obviously, you have this great partnership with Avivo Wines and a great relationship with New Zealand, not just with the wine, but on your TV show. I mean, it seems like your audience is always full of New Zealanders. Listen, I don't know what's going on. I mean, I feel like if I actually went to New Zealand, there'd be nobody there. Like, at any given moment,

about two-thirds of the population is in my audience waiting to go on that red chair. It's hard to get tickets to the show. Like, it's not like you just come to London and at Heathrow they give to get tickets to the show. It's not like you just come to London and at Heathrow they give you some tickets to the show. They're hard to get. Now, Graeme, on the show you've spoken to every famous person you could possibly think of. Is there one that stands out? I mean, the ones that kind of are still amazing are those big, big, big stars. So, you know, when Tom Hanks come on,

or Tom Cruise, or Jennifer Lopez, or any of those big stars, because I'm sure you guys know what it's like. You meet somebody famous, and it's interesting for a nanosecond, and then they're just a person. They're just like, oh, that's that bloke who was in that thing,

or that's that woman who was, yeah. But then there's a handful of people, and it's rare I think now, who are still film stars, and you never quite get past it. Like when Tom Cruise comes on, I never quite get over the fact that it's Tom Cruise. At the end of it i'm not talking to some bloke i'm still talking to tom cruise whereas most actors become some bloke after

about you know three sentences yeah saying that tom cruise actually remembers everyone's name of the whole crew goes around and remembers everyone's name and uh we'll go and say on the way out go hey nice to meet you all the crew as well nice to see you again he remembers everyone's name and will go and say on the way out, go, hey, nice to meet you. Or the crew as well. Nice to see you again. He remembers everyone's name. Oh, the crew. Yeah. I barely remember your name every morning. It's pretty awesome. He'll go around and say hi to everyone and then on the way out with the

crew, he'll remember everyone's name. That's thanks to Scientology. He's got information on every single one of them. He's got dirt on them. It's incredible. What a lovely thing. We talked about wine because wine seems to play a big part in the Grahamham norton show you often see the guests sitting there they've got wine in front of them yeah and uh mark woolberg a famous hollywood actor uh he obviously enjoyed the free wire you know anything free uh you got to make use of it don't you and uh this was him on the graham norton show last year see you all how are you i'm really well are you all

well i feel really good why would you want people to drink alcohol and come on a show? What's going on here? That's social. That's a social thing. I don't drink. It's a recipe for disaster. He was having a good time that one week. Alcohol becomes the most difficult word to say when you've had alcohol, doesn't it? So we got talking to Graham about this.

You know, what happens with the wine on the show? We will top somebody's drink off. If somebody finishes their drink and then there's a vt we're showing a clip of a film then the floor manager will come in with a replacement drink but tops you'll get through two or three drinks on the show that's the maximum so to get to kind of Mark Wahlberg or... Did he fall asleep? Happily, he did. We were all so relieved when he fell asleep. It was me, Sarah Silverman and Michael Fassbender.

At one point, Michael Fassbender was telling a story. I was saying, oh, this is going well. He's managing to tell a story. I wonder why. and then i looked at mark walberg and he was asleep he was he was in that wonderful zone where in his head he was like everyone's on the same page as me yeah and listen and that's the thing i mean what amazed me about that night was that like as a young boy, I remember seeing, there was a picture in Vanity Fair, I think it was Annie Leibovitz took it, and it's Mark Wahlberg in his Calvin Klein's and there's a dog trying to pull his Calvin Klein's off.

And it was like, as a young guy in Ireland, it was the sexiest picture I'd ever seen. I'd never seen anything so sexy. And if anyone had told me then, one day that man will be sitting on your lap, pinching your nipple, and you'll find it annoying. I would've lost my mind.

But yeah. Now, Graham Norton, we wanna play a game. You've met many famous faces, and we've got some famous New Zealand faces that we wanna hold up and get your first thoughts on. Jesus, I recognise you guys. What more do you want? Okay, here we go. Sir Peter Jackson.

Sir Peter Jackson, what pops into your head? Peter Jackson, what pops into my head is I auditioned for Lord of the Rings. For the part that... It was Sam, wasn't it? Was it Sam? That's probably why you didn't get it. What character am I auditioning for again today? Sam?

Was it Sam in Lord of the Rings? It was awful. It was awful. But apparently, Peter Jackson has a reel of all the auditions. So I don't know if I'm important enough to be in there, It was awful. But apparently Peter Jackson has a reel of all the auditions. So I don't know if I'm important enough to be in there,

but I hear, and I can't swear to this, but I hear there's a Kylie Minogue audition tape. I hear there's a really good Vin Diesel one. Really? The Vin Diesel one is the one you want to get. I don't know if Vin Diesel tears up and says, I live my life a quarter mile at a time. There's no cars in this. Okay, we'll do a couple more just quickly because we know we need to go.

Sam Neill. Oh, Sam. He's the loveliest man and he owns, I think, is it, am I a bull? You're a bull. I think you're a bull. Am I a bull? He has a bull named Graham Norton. I'm in the bottom quarter, my daughter.

Here's the next one, Jacinda Ardern. Oh, Jacinda. I mean, you know, she's a global hero now. She's the boss. She's the reason why every country wants a female prime minister. You probably all hate her now, but globally, we still like her. And New Zealand's most famous butcher. The Mad Butcher.

He's the Mad Butcher. And his jingle says, you just can't beat the Mad Butcher's meat. Is that really his jingle? It's true. We're not making that up. People in his family are cruel to him. Someone should have told him,

don't go with that jingle. Graeme Norton, congratulations on the wine. And thank you so much for talking to him. Someone should have told him, no, don't go with that jingle. Graeme Norton, congratulations on the wine and thank you so much for talking to us. We really do appreciate it. Take care, guys. Ben Voice Productions Limited proudly presents Jono Fryer's Worst Moments of the Week.

I love this. Nothing quite like giving me a complex about how bad I've been at my job. We get to reflect on some of Jono's shocking, shocking, shocking, shocking, shocking, shocking moments. Well, it's not often you get treated to a public performance review. I don't see Heather in an account getting hauled over the coals

on a Friday publicly on the radio for not balancing a spreadsheet. You're right, but we like to do it to Jono. I don't know why. It's become a thing on this show. It's too much content. That's the problem. And this one, we're going to sneak this one in there This actually happened last Friday We were live streaming

When I was stuck in the soundproof booth Playing five words for 5k Until I got a winner And you were You were playing something off your laptop You went to play some audio And what popped up Was something that you were looking at

Previously Have a listen Let's google it Let's have a look here Is it okay For my purr colour previously I have a listen yeah let's Google it to have a look here what are you googling there's a YouTube pre-roll. Whatever, mate. Whatever. Prove it. Prove it. Prove it. I'll prove it. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Prove it. Prove it. Oh, yeah. For my poo colour to change. Caught red-handed. Or maybe not red-handed. We didn't find out what colour it was.

Listen, I went to the doctor and apparently it's not okay. And I need to stop eating paint. Also this week, we talked about the very exciting news that Lorde has got some new music on the way. She released an album, a little teaser of the album cover. Very leggy photo. Yeah, a summery shot. It was very cool.

And this is what Jono had to say. The album cover's got a shot of her legs, doesn't it? Yes. Do my legs look as magnificent? Oh, I don't know how to... Okay, so if I did the same shot, what would your reaction be? No! Juliet, I heard that.

She vomited a bit in her mouth. I'd be like, good on you, good on you for doing that. Good on you for doing that. Good on you for doing that. Good on you. Listen, now I went home and I got my kids to take the same angle. Same angle shot. And my legs are white. But they give lords a run for their money, these legs.

But yeah, they're whiter than a Coldplay concert, these thighs. And finally this week at Jono's Worst of the Week, we'll be looking for New Zealand's most annoying toy for parents. The toys that the kids love playing, but the normal ones that make noise. And the ones that parents get, oh, they've got that out again. And I talked about the little game,

the little bop it game. You would know the one. It's around everywhere. Bop it. Twist it. Pull it. Score three. You just keep playing it over and over again.

That's also a great method Ben applies to his love making Bop it Twist it Pull it High score I just never know How much pressure to do

When you say bop it I just haven't quite nailed that And that is Jono's Worst of the week Yeah you did that Yeah Nah You know it The whole movie Yeah nah She'll that is Jono's worst of the week. Yeah, yeah, nah. Yeah, nah. Yeah, nah.

The whole movie. Yeah, nah. She'll be right, and at the end of the day. Jono and Ben, breakfast on the hits. As we've been talking about lots on the show, we've got a brand new MG SUV to give away with a whole lot of cash in the boat. It's a brand new car,

and so it hasn't done many kilometres on the clock. Almost none. Yeah. Almost none. So B Humps, our producer, B Humps, our lovely producer, Humps, check him out. He came up with a wonderful game that we should play. Who has New Zealand's highest odometer reading?

Yeah, because the new car, the SUV, the MG, would be one of the lowest in the country. So we've got the lowest. All close to it. Won that category. Boom. Yeah, that topic, open, shut. So now we want the lowest. All close to it. Won that category. Boom. Yeah, that topic. Open.

Shut. So now we want to see, as Jono said, who's had the most Ks on the clock of the car. Now, do we count the bloody grubby used car dealers who get the cars

and turn the clocks back? Is that a thing? I know in the Roald Dahl book, Matilda, that's a thing. That was his old business proposition, wasn't it? He ran them back. It was a genius if it did work.

He was. The old man, wasn't it? Matilda's back and it was a genius if it did work. He was. The old man, wasn't it? Matilda's dad. Yeah, but I don't know if it could do these days because a lot of them are electronic. Yeah, so that's an option though. Maybe you are a grubby used car dealer. You're probably not going to phone up now

because I've called you a grubby used car dealer. Yeah, way to get them not to phone up. Do you know how a friend was, she started dating a new guy and I was listening to Jen and all of her gal pals sit around talking about him. She's like, oh, he's a car salesman. And they're all like, new or used? Him or what?

Oh, his job. His job. As if that would make, but she was like, new? And they're like, oh, thank God. Really? They're all like, anyway. There's some bloody good used car dealers out there. They're sardish with, yeah.

And I'm sorry for saying they're grubby used cars. They're good. Good people. Good, honest people, actually. Some of my best friends are used car dealers. But yeah, who's got New Zealand's highest odometer radio? I've got 45,000 kilometres on mine. I checked this morning.

You? Well, I'm up to about close to 80 now. Oh, I beat you both. Yeah, so I was like, oh, you know, it's when you're like, well, how long have you got to keep pushing this? Yeah, because it seems like a bit of information your dad always passes on. You've got to get rid of a car before 100Ks. I think mine's at 118,000 now.

All right. But it has, you know, my sister used it, my brother used it, and now it's mine. Okay, so 118,000 now. All right. But it has, you know, my sister used it, my brother used it, and now it's mine. Okay, so 118,000. That's out of all of us here on the show. That would be the one with the most amount of Ks. Okay, 800 the hits. Can you beat 118,000 kilometres on your odometer?

Did you know Benjamin Franklin invented the odometer? That guy was up to some stuff, wasn't he? Yeah. He also did the lightning rod he came up with, the urinary catheter, right? Oh, wow. Swimming fins, you know, where you put those on your feet. Hand paddles.

I don't know. Stuff I feel like we're not using anymore, but I don't know what the lightning rod is, the hand paddles. Hey, great. The urinary catheter. But he was prolific, wasn't he? He was prolific, yeah.

He would have been the old man Franklin's at it again in his weird shed doing his weird products. What's he doing this? He's, well, you put this up there and it's a catheter, mate. Why? Trust me, put those hand paddles on, mate. I'll do it. It's New Zealand's highest odometer. Sorry, I sounded through to that like we would have music

Or anything prepared there But we're going to just go straight to the phones Alright Who's running the most miles on the clock We've got some good ones coming through On the text On the text machine I want to go in order from lowest to highest

We'll start with Heather in Waiuku Have you got New Zealand's highest odometer, Heather? Hi. What are the clicks on your car, Heather? It's 252774. Ooh! What is the vehicle you're driving? It's just a little Toyota.

Oh, Toyotas. They always talk about Toyotas. I know nothing about cars, but I do know that Toyotas, oh, they'll just keep going, Toyotas. They will. A Cor they'll just keep going corolla will just keep going it'll keep going until yeah and what do you do um i drive a long way to work well i do about like an hour each way roughly which is what i'm doing right this second are you two hours in traffic every day yeah you poor thing and then i um on a Saturday now, I go back into Auckland to just have lunch with my brother and sisters. Another actually further into Auckland.

So yeah, a lot of travelling. All right, Heather's Kilometres brought to you by the Southern Motorway. Should we give Heather a petrol voucher? Do you want a petrol voucher, Heather? I would love one, thank you. Feels like you're doing a lot of Ks, so let's give you one of those. Oh, thank you very much. And just to make your trip more painful,

you listen to us as well. Oh, no, I actually find it very amusing. Oh, thank you very much. You sound like my mother. I actually find it fairly amusing. Well, my mates hate it, but... I'm the only one who likes it. Thank you, Heather.

Have a good one. All right, we'll go to the next one on 0800, The Hits. We're looking for New Zealand's highest odometer. Shall we go to Raewyn in Te Anau? What are we sitting on, Rae? I've got 346,826 kilometres. What do you drive? Holden Commodore.

Yeah, and you're obviously doing big trips every day. Yeah, I live in Te Anau, so it's 30 kilometres out to school, and then if you want to go to the warehouse it's 180km one way. Jeez, you must really want to go to the warehouse. Yeah. You want to go? You know how far it is. You've got to go.

How many times do you go to the warehouse and you get all the way home and you're like, oh damn it, I forgot to get the... Yeah, it's a big list with a four hour round trip. Wow. You'd want to make it count. When you hit the warehouse, you want impact. Here she comes again. Good on you, Raewyn.

We'll send you out a petrol voucher, Raewyn. Well done. That's awesome. Thank you. Some fantastic calls coming through here. My mum's car's sitting on $420,000, Mazda Astina. We'll go to Quinton in Lower Hutt. New Zealand's highest odometer.

Quentin, you think you've got it? Hopefully. What is it? It is 587,649 kilometres. No. No. Yeah. Wow.

500? Does it ever get to a point where it just starts again? No, it just keeps going. This is going to keep going. However, unfortunately, the car isn't going at the moment. But the domino's still going. That's the one thing that's not broken.

What sort of car is it, Quinton? It's a Nissan Skyline R32. Oh, well, I know nothing about that, but I'll pretend like I do and we'll give you petrol for the car that you have that doesn't go. Thank you very much. Wow, 500k. I wonder if, yeah, is there an extra number

at the end of that? Like, does it go? I thought it would just go back to zero. If it goes up to the 100, yeah, I don't know. So far, the odometer to beat is 543,000 kilometres, which is held by Quentin in Lower Hutt at the moment. If you think you can beat New Zealand's highest odometer, Janet can from Christchurch.

No way. What are you coming in with, J-Dog? We've got 798 triple zero. Wow. Oh, wow. 700. You want to get to the mill, don't you, Janet? I know.

We want to. We just had a check down at the mechanics, and they're just like, nah, it's good as gold. There's nothing wrong with it. What is it? A Toyota Prado. Yeah, this is a common theme, the Toyotas. Yeah. Just keep going.

It's going to be, if there's an apocalypse, the two things left on Earth are going to be cockroaches and Toyotas. I'd say. They're amazing stuff. All right, 798. 798. Can we do that? I feel like I want

to be there for someone when it ticks over a million. Can you keep in touch with us? Yeah, yeah, definitely.

And let us know when you're getting close to a million. We want to be there on that ride. Yeah, we'll do. I want to see what happens.

Listen, if your car's not dead by then, I might be. I haven't got long to live. We'll find someone later, but at the moment, we're jumping in your Uber, right?

Brett, welcome from Auckland. You've got New Zealand's highest odometer, you think? Well, I'm pretty much certainly, have you? Oh, he's confident. Okay, that's amazing. 798 is the current record

from Janet in Christchurch with her Toyota. 2,348,000 k's. 2 million? 2,348,000, guys. 2 million? 2,348,000. He's like, do you want me to say it again? 2,348,000. Don't undersell it.

Wow. So it just keeps going once it gets to a mil. Just keeps going, mate. Just keeps going. Just keeps going. Just keeps going. Gets to a certain stage and you pull it down, re-bolt it and start again.

And so what? Is it a truck? is it a car, what is this thing? It's a truck. It's a truck? So New Zealand's only 1,600 kilometres long. Correct. How many times have you driven the length of New Zealand? Please tell me, because I'm no good at on-the-spot maths. I can't count that high.

And what happens when it hits over the million mark? Does it just keep counting up, or does it reset? It resets to zero, so it's been around the top. Oh, it does reset to zero, so there you go. Yep. So you could say it was brand new. It's brand new. That's it.

Unless you've got a cheeky boss, you send him a photo of the zeros, and you say, where's my new truck? He says, you're in it. Brett, wow. I don't know if we're going to beat $2 million. No. Oh, no, sorry, not $2 million. What is it, sorry, exactly, Brett?

Yeah, $2,348,000. Wow. New Zealand's highest speedometer. A little golf clap for you. It's got a half-hearted smattering of applause, and I'm sure that it's a very prestigious award for you to win there, Brett. Yeah, exactly. You're good on your weld on.

You keep on trucking. Can we hear the truck go, hunk, hunk? Oh, that's a beautiful horn, isn't it? That is lovely. Hey, thanks so much for that. Appreciate it. Cheers. We apologize in advance.

I've got a radio voice You know You hear some people And they're like They have got a great voice Yeah I don't know Both of our voices They're not made for radio, are they?

No. A little bit nasally. Yeah. It's kind of annoying. You've just got grating on your fingernails on a chalkboard, that sort of thing. That's what I imagine we sound like. But sometimes you do hear the, welcome to the radio.

You know, you hear people, you're like, oh, jeez, you need to. Yeah. Oh, there are people. I mean, the people in this building, Producer Juliet, you're like, they have got it. Mike Peru has such a good radio voice. He's got a great radio voice. He's a great example of that. Yeah. Oh, there are people. I mean, the people in this building produced Juliet, you're like, they have great. Mike Peru has such a good radio voice. He's got a great radio voice. He's a great example of that.

Legend. Yeah. But anyway, my kids. You never called us a legend. Not once. You guys are legends. No,

I don't want a pity legend. Okay, I take that back. My kids, my two daughters are at the age right now where they start to sort of pull you up on stuff.

You know, they're sort of getting in your business now. It's not all about me pulling them up on stuff they're all over my business now yeah get out of your business and my wife's business and they now pull us up on our work voices so sometimes when i'm often when i'm on the phone and it depends i don't know i'm doing it i'll be talking on the phone they'll be like stop using your radio voice in the background i'll be like obviously i'm trying to sound in the background. I'll be like, obviously, I'm trying to sound, I guess, more professional, even though if you listen to the show, there's, I don't know. Why are you trying to add a layer of professionalism to your work life?

When every day there's three hours of examples of being completely unprofessional. Yeah, I feel like there's no real difference to the voice that I'm using on the phone. But anyway, they're like, you're using your radio voice. Sometimes you go into whatever it is, a shop or whatever, and I'll be talking. They're like, stop using your radio voice. So that's something they call me up on. Honestly, I can't tell the difference between your radio voice and your voice.

I would put on a better voice if I had a radio voice. Every time the kids hear me on the phone, I'm like, no, no, you hang up. You hang up. And they're like, stop using your talking to be in voice. And we have a wonderful conversation. And then my wife, Amanda using your talking to Ben voice. And we have a wonderful conversation. And then my wife, Amanda,

she's a teacher. And then they always pull her up on, stop using your teacher voice on, on, on here in the household. But she does. Like sometimes she will, she, like you'll,

we're doing something with, you know, dinner was, and she'd go, so how much, if I gave you this part of the pizza, and I'll be like, oh,

here we go. They're like, stop doing your teacher voice. Stop teaching. Stop trying to teach us stuff. If you had this slice of pizza, and I gave you this one, how many of the quarters would be like, oh, here we go. They're like, stop doing your teaching. Stop teaching. Stop trying to teach us stuff. If you had this slice of pizza and I gave you this one, how many of the quarters would be like, oh. Even me, I'm like, oh.

Leave your work at the door, Amanda. Stop trying to make us better at fractions. I don't know. The kids don't know. Believe it. It's not a test. What is it, Zen Z? Zen Z?

Yeah, I can see why you joined in on that one. But then when I get pulled up on it, I'm like, oh, okay. I find that also you have different voices for, which we spoke about actually yesterday. If you're locked in a cubicle and someone knocks on the door, someone's in there, you put on a voice. And also your voice where you're trying to sound tougher than you are, but you're actually petrified.

You think someone's breaking in. Who's there? Who's there? Who's there? You do try and sound like... But if you're a professional robber, you're like, I've heard that voice a million times. That's not scaring me. I know how you are on the inside.

You're quivering. Two dads just trying to fill some airtime. Some might say it's pointless, but the main thing is it fills in some airtime for us. That is the main thing. John Owen Venn, Breakfast on Heads is it fills in some airtime for us. That is the main thing. Good morning, welcome along to the show. It is a Friday morning, a short week,

but we got there, New Zealand. Here we are, Friday. Well done, you ploughed through four days. Do you know what I saw yesterday when I was driving home? I felt so sorry for this motorist. Middle of an intersection, he was towing a trailer load of bricks bricks and he turned the corner

and then the trailer and there were just bricks all over the intersection hundreds of bricks and I was like that's the worst I could help him

but I kept driving but I felt sorry for him oh but that's not no I was I was past the intersection I saw it in my rear vision oh here we go other people

there we go now I'm trying to backtrack and say I was past there's. I saw it in my rear vision. Oh, here we go. Other people. Here we go. I'm trying to backtrack and say. I was past. There's no way to stop. I helped him. Hey, would that make you feel better? Well, it would, but you didn't. You're lying.

Yeah, no, I helped him. I picked every single one of those bricks up. You're clearly lying. Hey, we've got a big show today. Very exciting. Not only $500 up for Gramps, as is every day at 7.45, but Graeme Norton joins us, 8 o'clock, in his only New Zealand interview.

Yeah, very exciting. We talked to him about, I don't know if you remember there was a massive news story, Mark Wahlberg went on his show and celebrated a bit too much on the couch let it get away, you could slowly see the level of intoxication growing over the 60 minute period until he ended up straddling Norton

and pinching his nipples We talk about that, we talk about Tom Cruise, the one thing that Tom Cruise does when he's on the set that I found really, really interesting, as well as Graham Norton auditioned for a big New Zealand movie and didn't make the cut. Ben and Jono call this show Jono and Ben.

Breakfast on the Hefts. Yesterday, here at the radio studios, we got some new photos taken. They need some photos every now and again. They take an unnecessary amount of photos. since i've only been here 12 months i think i've had my photo taken about 92 times yeah the photo sessions and then they're like we need another one you're like well what whose photo stream is clinging clogged up by photos of us i'm blaming my face i think every time we do a session they're like oh god we're gonna need to reshoot that and not even photoshop

can fix that thing golem poorum, poor Gollum. Yeah, so yesterday we got to do photos again, you're right. It was fine. It's part of the job for us. But what, well, is debatable as part of the job

is whether the wider team need to get their photos taken because this doesn't normally happen. Yeah, so producer Juliette, you got bullied into having your photo taken. I did.

You were excited about it though, weren't you? Yeah, yeah. I got my hair and makeup done which was very exciting. You look magnificent. There was the radio awards on last night, so you were like,

great, I get hair and makeup on, on the company. It was perfect. But then the problem is you got it done at 11 o'clock in the morning and you couldn't move your face for the next seven hours. I know.

It was a real struggle. It was a real struggle. And then Ben Humphrey from Fairleigh, Southern Man. B. Humps producer, yeah. Complete waste of resource. They're like, we need a photo with you. You're like, nah.

The most reluctant photo shoot subject since Mona Lisa in Da Vinci. She looked like she was hating life. And you did too in your photos, Ben Humphrey. No one wants or needs to see a photo of me. It's absolutely ridiculous. What would Fairley think of you going to the big smoke, getting some powder on and having a photo shoot? What was that powder?

That stuff's great, mate. It makes us look younger. The only photos that you need done in Fairley are your annual rugby team photos or if you get pulled over for drunk driving by the police. Those are the two photos you get taken in fairly. Oh, they were all talking to me about LinkedIn. Like, do I need to sign up to something?

Well, I don't know what that is. But an absolute waste. No one needs to see it. Like, a waste of company resources, in my opinion. It brought me a lot of joy, though, because I knew how reluctant you were and then having to see you get a photo taken.

I was like, oh, this is great. But he's been reluctant for four weeks every day leading up to it. I see your point. You're like, I'm not the talent of the show. You're a behind-the-scenes guy, aren't you? I sit in that booth next door. No one needs to hear from me or see from me. I just come in, do my job, and get out of here.

Keep my head down. And you don't want to be associated with this show either. You're like oh that's another Ben Humphrey yeah well would you like to say anything to Fairleigh

now in the deep south if they do see this photo if you see it I apologize but where are they going to see it though

no they're not exactly like that's the reality is they're like put it on your LinkedIn probably not going to do that

you know put it on your Facebook no you know like I'm not going to post it they're not going to post it. Do it. Put it on your Facebook. No. I'm not going to post it. They're not going to post it. Why did we take it?

You could do with a new Facebook profile picture, to be fair, and it's really good. I feel like I'm listening to the drunken ramblings of a man at a work do it about 1am. That's the start of the day, though. That's the start of the day. To be fair, I had the same conversation last night. They're proud of New Zealand. Go New Zealand. If only New Zealand was proud of them. Jono and proud of New Zealand go New Zealand

if only New Zealand was proud of them Jono and Ben New Zealand's breakfast on the hip last night was the radio awards in New Zealand

yes and I think we were lucky enough to get an award and when I say we I don't think we can take the credits it was my parents Annie and John Pryor

yeah this is the only reason why we're reflecting on this because normally we don't we don't do this sort of thing but we want to sort of you know say thanks to Annie and John forryor Yeah This is the only reason We're reflecting on this Because normally we don't We don't do this sort of thing But we want to sort of You know Say thanks to Annie and John

For being gullible Yeah Gullible And boomers You know In the nicest sense of the word I think they were the only two Award winners

In the history of any award show Who didn't want to be nominated Associated with it Let alone win the thing So this is a reluctant victory For Annie and John Pryor. This was like the one moment of the year for radio that they got one of the best moments of the year. This is a moment they want to bury.

They want to forget about this moment. The radio industry wanted to celebrate this moment. It's come back to haunt them months and months later. Well, yeah, because as you said yesterday, we did this for the radio, and then it got picked up by the New Zealand Herald and it was online and then it got picked up last night at the Radio Awards and there's three times

that we've had to sort of relive this moment over again. Yeah and we might as well do it once more since we're here. Now if you don't know what we're talking about Annie and John, my parents, they got a new cell phone, an iPhone and we always said it was too much phone for the age demographic. They were quite nervous about it too. They didn't know if it was going to be listening to them if it was going

to be community yeah they just they were weary of it yeah they don't trust 5g as well anti-vaxxers and so we took full advantage of this and called them up as siri Hello? Hello Annie Catherine Pryor and or John Walter Pryor. This is Siri the audio communication facility from Apple.Inc. How are you doing today? We don't talk to stupid computers. That is good to hear. You're an idiot.

How is the weather in Christchurch today? We don't talk to stupid computers. I am sorry, I did not understand your command. Please state how the weather is today in Christchurch. Shut up. Hello? Hello Annie Catherine Pryor, this is Siri the audio communication facility from Apple.Inc. How are you doing today? If you want to know how we're doing, put on a human voice, Siri. We don't want you to ring us again.

We are calling to see how you are enjoying your new Apple iPhone from Apple.Inc. If you put on a human, not you, Siri, I will tell them. I will not talk to you. Goodbye. Do not ring us again. What do you want, Siri? We are calling to see how you are enjoying your new Apple iPhone from Apple.Inc. Do not call again. How do we stop you? How do you stop? I still did not understand your response.

John boy. Hello. John boy. Hello. John boy. John boy. John boy. Eddie and John. It's the bald idiot of your son.

You haven't been spammed by a robot voice. Oh, right. You're fine, you're fine. We're just ringing to see how your iPhone was. Oh, it's good. Yeah, good. Yeah. Annie, we can hear Andy in the background.

You're not going to put this on air, are you? Sorry, I can't hear you. You did. That is so, you got us so well. It's so good. And you see, your father hates Siri, just hates her. I do not hate Siri. I don't know Siri. I like Siri. Don't tell Siri that.

As everybody there, the whole team. The whole team, the whole gang. Usually, as you know I hate you doing this But that was really funny That's why This one you can't enjoy You can't enjoy this one

At the end Love you mum Goodbye Bye She never says I love you back Not once You always force it

You always do Am I too keen Or am I coming on too strong Yeah You make it a bit awkward. You say, we're on the radio, Jono. Not publicly. Play it cool, mate.

Play it cool. Anyway, congratulations, Andy and Jon, on your reluctant radio victory. I just love that. That makes it even better. I know. It's like, well done to them, mate. Paid to talk words and stuff into a microphone.

It's New Zealand's breakfast. Jono and Ben on the hits. Very exciting morning for us because at 8 o'clock this morning we're joined by a big superstar. And it's not intimidating at all interviewing someone who's probably one of the world's best interviewers. This Friday, the king of chit-chat. Let's start the show!

Chats to the kings of chit-chat. Shocking bits of radio. Thanks to Envivo Wines. in his only Aotearoa interview, Graham Norton will talk exclusively to Jono and Ben, mainly because they've lied and told him they're Mike Hoskey. The Prime Minister, she is running for the hills. From the middle of Eden Park, Graham will be beamed in live on the big screen for some reason.

Tasting his new wine with Jono and Ben because, hey, it's five o'clock somewhere, which actually means it's 8am here, so yeah, make of that what you will. Join Graham Norton in the interview that drove him to drink. Lots and lots of wine. Why didn't you say so? With these two Savignon plonkers, Jono and Ben on the heads. Yeah, it's pretty cool.

Graham Norton, this morning, we actually interviewed him yesterday at Eden Park, of all places, on Zoom, and he was on the big screen. Listen, don't ask questions. It'll just confuse you as to why. Just roll with us on this one. Yeah, so Graham Norton was sitting in the middle of Eden Park, yes, the sports ground, and he was on the big screen. I know you've got questions.

Just don't ask them. Just don't ask them. The only ones who were allowed to ask questions was us. Yeah, there's a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense about that setting, but we rolled with it. Even probably for Graham Norton going, who are these guys? Why am I talking to them? But he wasn't allowed to ask questions either.

It was only us, and it's all thanks to In Vivo Wine. So join us at 8 o'clock. Graham Norton is only New Zealand interview on the hits. Scrolling through your feed. All right, I'll hand you over to our little news weasel. Been weaseling away overnight. What have you pulled out of the trenches there, Ben, boys? Well, it's been a big week for royal news.

Obviously, we had the baby from Megan and Harry, the second baby, Ben boys? Well it's been a big week for Royal News obviously we had the baby from Megan and Harry, the second baby earlier in the week, that was a big announcement little baby lily butt lily putt? lily bit lily bit, yeah I think lily putt's a mini golf lily putt, yeah, lily putt

love lily putt, is it? lily putt's still open we tried to get a hole in one in every hole at lily putt we couldn't leave the hole until we got a hole in one it took us a good part of the day both tried to get a hole in one in every hole at Lily Putt. We couldn't leave the hole until we got a hole in one. It took us a good part of the day to get it. Both had to get a hole in one, but it was fun. Lily Putt, an adorable name for a mini putt course too. Mini golf. But there's big news to do with

Prince Charles and it's got a Kiwi connection which I thought was quite interesting. So a Kiwi photographer, Trevor Coppock, back in 1981, Prince Charles came to New Zealand and so he took a photo. He was there with a whole lot of photographers. Prince Charles was in Tokoroa and actually visiting a pulp and paper sort of mill.

Well, we really treat them when they come here, don't we? Yeah. So yeah, he was visiting a mill. We sent Harry off to bloody Stewart Island, didn't we? Yeah, we did actually. He ended up at the pub there or something. He stayed the night there, I think. What does the government do? Do they have a

brainstorm of the most mundane locations we can send these poor people to? Prince Charles is checking out the mill and he was walking off somewhere and this photographer, Trevor from New Zealand, sort of got down from a landing where he was on to sort of get Prince Charles as he was walking away. And Prince Charles was talking

to a guy who worked at the mill. And he took a photo of that and didn't actually think too much of it at the time until he realised later that the guy who was working at the mill had on his T-shirt, I'm with stupid, so I'm with stupid, and the finger pointing towards Prince Charles. Oh, really? So there's a lovely shot of the two of them, Prince Charles having a nice conversation to this guy from New Zealand

who's got I'm with stupid and the finger pointing towards. And that photo, the original print, has just sold in an online auction in Auckland this week for $22,000. That is great. That's so good. I mean, if you're wearing a T-shirt like that, that would be the goal. If you're going to wear a T-shirt like that, I mean, that's the ultimate goal.

Do you reckon it was on purpose or it was just the guy's T-shirt? Well, maybe. Maybe. He was like, of all the days to wear that and of all the sides for Prince Charles to be standing, is he standing on the right side too? Yeah. Yeah, the hands pointing in the right direction.

So that's very cool. So $22,000 for a bit of Kiwi and royal bit of history. Can I say, that is a very handsome paper mill worker that we've put on offer for Prince. He's almost like a male model. Does he even work at the paper mill? That's what I wonder. I mean, he's got no hard hat.

Great hair. Dashing. I would have thought he'd have protective glasses. Oh, yeah, all that sort of stuff at the mill. So maybe he just was a guy who came with an I'm a stupid T-shirt and got a photo with Prince. He should be in the Rolling Stones or something. It's amazing.

We'll check it out on our Hits Instagram story actually right now if you want to see the photo. It is very cool. It is the Hits. You've got Jono and Ben. Real Kiwi blokes with soy lattes. Jono and Ben. Breakfast on the Hits.

Now you'll know Graham Norton from his international smash hit chat show, the Graham Norton Show that's played on New Zealand. He's got all the biggest celebrities on the couch. And a lot of New Zealanders end up on the red chair as well. It's a very, very great show and it's all over the world. And he's also teamed up with In Vivo Wines in New Zealand to create some Graham Norton wines. Yeah, they've done this for a few years now.

And we're joined right now by Tim from In Vivo Wines. Early for a wine guy, Tim. Yeah, yeah, it is pretty early, but great to be on your show. Now, as a wine person, are you obliged to drink wine every day of the week? I imagine that would slowly become a burden of your job. Yeah, yeah, look, we do a lot of tastings, but we actually, you know, we use the two

so we're tasting and spitting out at the same time so we're not drinking too much. I think that would be the thing. Like a Monday morning tasting, you'd be like, oh, okay.

This is what we signed up for. Oh, that's your job. And Vivo Wine, such a great story and you guys have done so amazing well. Your partnership with not only

Sarah Jessica Parker recently but also with Graham Norton. How did that all come about with Graham Norton in particular? With Graham, look, I was watching a show here in New Zealand and just noticed all the guests had wine on the show so I literally rang up and said, could we supply the show which, you know, we'd supply free wine so they said, why not?

So we had our wine being served for the backstage to the guests. And then about three years into the partnership, Rob and I met with Graham and actually asked if he'd be keen to make a wine with us. And he unbelievably agreed to that. But the first vintage, he actually said, just sell it in New Zealand first, see how it goes before we take on the world. And the first vintage sold really well so it kind of just went from there. Well that's incredible, isn't it amazing how these

relationships kick off and I mean that's what it is, it's become almost like a friendship you've got with the guy now. Yeah look we're in our eighth vintage now and every year we sit down, we've been out to Ireland, out to where he spends his holidays and made the wine out there and in London and all over the show. So it is kind of just catching up with the mate now and three or four hours of tasty wine

which is great fun. Oh, it's awesome. So the first, I guess, batch of wine, you were about 20,000 bottles give or take, but over 10 million now of Graham Norton wine in particular has been sold. Yeah, yeah, look, it's been amazing and better than obviously what we thought at the start.

It was a bit of a handshake type arrangement in the early days, but, you know, it's grown to be pretty massive and we sell in about 10 or 11 countries. Now, we were watching you do wine tasting with Graham yesterday at Eden Park, and what I found really interesting, not being a connoisseur of any stretch of the imagination was that you actually blend different wines to end up

with the final product so you'll take a bit of wine from this vineyard and if it's too sour you'll add a bit of wine from another vineyard Yeah, so look we were grabbing wines or grapes actually from across Marlborough and even this year we had some Gisborne fruit, so you know a vineyard can be next to each other but taste completely different, whatever

or how they've cropped the vineyard. So there's different sort of taste profiles. Some could be really tropical and fruity and others could be a little bit less bigger in the palate weight and all that sort of stuff. So we blend across different sort of vineyards to get to the right flavour that he's after. And even just to make it a little more complicated, he's, of course, in the UK. You're back in New Zealand. But you guys have sort of matching bottles

that you're blending together. You know, he's doing it in his home, you're doing it on Eden Park, and you're almost having to replicate the taste to see what you guys all think. Yeah, we set him a lot of wine, about 30 bottles. Yeah, so we have the exact same samples and taste them at the exact same time.

So we both kind of go, yeah, we like that or he'll say, no, I don't like this one or that's a bit of a dud or that's a good one. So it's a fun process. I noticed you were spitting your wine out, but Graham was swallowing a lot of his. He was definitely, yeah. It was night time there for him. Yeah, look, we

used this for turn and he basically said, what's that for? What is this device? This is wine. I'm going to enjoy it. So you're happy? Are you happy with the finished product? What's going to be the new Graham Norton wine with Invivo?

Yeah, really happy. Look, it took a while to get there, but he made a great wine this year, and we're excited to release it. So, yeah, it's a good vintage. Oh, that's awesome. It's a really interesting process to watch. I want to thank you, too, for letting us interview him as well. It was very grandiose in the middle of Eden Park.

Yeah, that's awesome. No, it was a great set-up, and I know he enjoyed it. Well, congratulations on all your success. You're a true New Zealand success story, your company, so well done on that, and cheers. Yeah, can't wait to try what you guys blended yesterday in stores in two months' time. Thanks very much, guys. Cheers.

Spy, the what's up by doco.nz. Listen, I'm really proud of producer Julius and what she's become as someone who wakes up and tolerates us every morning. And here she is with Spy. Are you intrigued to hear about the Kardashian cash ranking? I've been waiting for this to be released.

It's my favourite time of the year. Annually, we all wait for it, don't we, Ben? That's right. It's very exciting. We absolutely do. So we all know that they make billions and trillions of dollars basically all combined. But it's been ranked on who makes the most and how they make that money. Would you like to take a guess?

Oh, this is a guessing game. Okay. Is it someone we would assume or is it someone that would surprise us at number one? You would probably assume. So they're in the Kardashian family. Yes. Okay, that's a good start.

Okay, I'm going to go Kylie. Ooh, okay. Let's go Kim. Let's go Kim. Oh, Kim. Kim's the highest earner Her net worth is $1.4 billion She is kind of the main Kardashian That you'd think She's got skims

She obviously was married to Kanye West Although to be fair They did have a prenup So they actually keep both of their What they brought into the marriage Makeup lines Yeah So she's done pretty well

Who do you reckon is next? Kylie. Oh, well done. Well done. I was just going to say, I'd be curious to know what the mum earns because she's the manager, right? Yes.

She actually is the manager. Yes. So she earns 100. So Kylie's next. And then there's Chris. Her net worth is $170 million. She actually takes 10% of all her kids' earnings because she's their... 10% of everyone. Yeah' earnings. So we've got quite a lot.

10% of everyone. Yeah, she's their momager, as they call. Like Brian Tarmachy, isn't he? He's got the same thing with the Destiny Church. Yeah. Do you know she also has a church? She started her own church, Christina. Did she?

Yeah, they all paid for it. The whole family did. How do you know that and I don't? Oh, you know me. I get lost on the internet. Yeah, true. And Khloe, apparently Khloe Kardashian had a shocking car accident many years ago. Yeah.

And it causes her memory loss. Really? Yeah, which is why she can forgive Tristan for losing his face in that lady's chest. She can't remember it. Oh, no. And then the next ones are after Chris's Khloe, 50 million. Kourtney and Kendall tie on 45 million. Kendall did just launch her own tequila company.

I think it's called 818, which I was reading about. It was quite interesting. They submitted it to like some sort of world tequila awards or something. Anonymously, didn't put her name, didn't put anyone's name. I think they might have changed the branding. I'm not sure. But it won ahead of all these other tequila brands the best tequila, and they didn't

even know it was Kendall Jenner. This was all before the launch, so when they launched it, they were like, this is we anonymously submitted this and this is the best tequila. Yeah, the judges were like, I don't know who this brand anonymous is, but I like the taste of it. Well, a lot of people bag the Kardashians, don't they? But they've done very well for themselves.

Listen to all their businesses they've served. Honestly. Everyone's like, what have they done? Well, quite a lot. And they're doing so much. They've done it. Their schedules. I'd love to see their schedules.

They would just be so busy all the time. Totally. Crazy, crazy. They're entrepreneurs. Yeah, they are. That's what they do. They are. And that takes a lot of energy, it does.

And Prince Philip yesterday would have been his 100th birthday, and the royals have remembered him on this day. The Queen was given a new variety of rose that was made called the Duke of Edinburgh Rose, and she's going to plant it in the gardens at Windsor Castle, which was lovely. There are some photos of her being handed this rose. It's adorable.

Can you imagine her out there lonely in the garden planting that? Oh, it's so sad. What's she doing? She's 95, isn't she? 95. Yeah, must be 95 now. Yeah, I think she is. I think we saw that the other day.

Oh, sweet old thing. I know. It was in She. I know. And on another note, third story for today, Ben Affleck's ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, approves of his relationship with J-Lo, the rekindled romance. She says as long as Ben stays on track and keeps the situation healthy, especially regarding the kids, she's happy.

She's all good to go. Pretty big of her, wasn't it? I know. I know. Very happy. Very excited. I wouldn't be that adult, hey? You'd be petty?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'd be petty. I'd live up to publicly, you'd have to. Publicly, you'd have to. Oh, you'd have to. Publicly you'd have to. Oh, you're behind the scenes. Publicly, you know. You're behind closed doors. She's like,

everyone apart from the people who don't want the burden of having too much money. Those people don't bother applying. Because this competition is quickly turning into, we're turning into an ATM machine for the hits listeners. We've had some big wins over the last six days. We have, actually. It goes to show we're not just all talk. No, and you could win $5,000.

It could be you next, so give us a call right now. How about that? Start the weekend with five grand. We're putting our money where our mouth is, and it's filthy as well. It's germ-infected money. Ben's not happy with this cash on his lips. You know what he's like with germs, so let's get this cash off his lips. All right, we'll do that shortly.

It is the hits. You've got Jono and Ben. Five words for 5K on the hits. You're only five words away from a massive payday. This is the part of the show, the glitz and glamour part of the show, is that we keep this all shiny and new. You know, 6 till 7 a till 7am it's like a third child and it could fend for itself not this bit though ben five words uh five thousand dollars

is back on the line so let's get into it yeah right welcome to the show stacy from tauranga how are you stace good morning i'm good thank you moreno on the way to work are you yes sure and now what do you do for a job i I'm going to say you're an undercover investigator and you're currently trailing a man who's suspected on cheating on his partner. Oh, nail on the head. You can't. You're probably about to reveal that, though, can you? I've been nailing these profession guesses all week.

Remember, I got the Banksy one, too. We spoke to Banksy, the graffiti artist. Who would have thought? Now, who are you going to send into the soundproof booth? John O'Byrne or Producer Juliet? Ben today, please. Back into the Ben booth. He spent a lot of time in there recently. I'm starting to wonder if he's going to leave his wife for the soundproof booth. They've formed quite a bond, Stacey, but he's locking the glass door. We need to get some Mr. Muscle window cleaner on that door

too. Windows you don't notice when they're not when they're clean, you don't pay attention to them. When they're dirty, you pay attention to them. Do you notice that, Juliet? I know what you mean. But also at the same time, when they're dirty, you're kind of like, you rarely notice once you clean them afterwards. There's a big difference.

Yeah, a lot of satisfaction, isn't there, in cleaning a glass door. And I'm sorry for bringing this up. It was weird banter. I'm sorry, Ju. Sorry for putting you, you're a young broad satisfaction, isn't there, in cleaning a glass door? And I'm sorry for bringing this up. It was weird banter. I'm sorry, Ju. Sorry for putting you, you're a young broadcaster, in that position. That's all right. You didn't deserve that. Window chat.

Stacey, let's get your five words out. If they match with Ben's, you've got $5,000. The first word, risky. Business. Business. Now, was it a movie, Tom Cruise? Apparently. I think so Lavender

Yeah, we'll go to the next one. All right, the fifth word was sashay. Oh, gosh. Raro? Oh. Good one. Raro. So good.

The watery flavor of your childhood. That's it. Oh, that brings back memories. Some crazy kids at school would just go straight raro, just pour it into their mouth. And they were alert. They were productive for the rest of the day. We'll go back to word four there for you, Stace.

It was calm, mate. I'm going to go with manner, calm manner. Oh, yeah? Yeah, nice follow-on word there. All right, those are your five words. I think they're pretty good. Some tough ones there today. We'll release Ben from the soundproof booth. Release the beast!

Hand over to producer Juliet while Ben does some online shopping, and I hand my account details over to a generous Nigerian prince who's unexpectedly come into a lot of money. So, Juliet. All right, I'm here, Juliet. I'm on that right now. Thank you. Don't want those shoes?

So, the rock star that called Prince Harry a beeping snowflake was Noel Gallagher from Oasis. Now, him and his brother, they've had a feud for years, and they're all pretty vocal. They're both pretty vocal about it. I love it that this brotherly spat has gone on for decades and just plays out in public.

I know. It's so funny. It's interesting to witness. But he says he comes across as a beeping snowflake. Prince William, I feel that beeping lad's pain. He's got a beeping younger brother

shooting his beeping mouth off with beep that is so unnecessary. I'd like to think that I was always the William, obviously taking a dig at his brother. And so he's quite vocal and he did that in a recent interview. And now Piers Morgan has shown support for Noel after he said this. What's he beeping said? Piers Morgan is beeping said. I've always thought beeping. No, he didn't say any beeping.

He always thought Noel Gallagher had his finger on the pulse of the nation's thought. Thank God there are still stars like Noel Gallagher who speak their mind, don't care who gets offended, never whine about how awful their pampered, privileged lives are. More please. Piers Morgan and Noel Gallagher, a very outspoken duo

they would be. Now, well, I'd like to thank Noel Gallagher too for self-censoring himself. Yeah. With the beeps too. Yeah. Why is he calling Harry a snowflake? Because he's gone off to the States and is he saying he's whipped? Is that what he's saying?

Well, coming across that he is complaining. Like with the Oprah interview, you know how they were like, oh, yeah, you know, we were cut off financially, but, you know, they're living in this mansion and so, you know, I mean, who would want their, they're living in this mansion, and so, you know, kind of complaining. I mean, who would want their family spat played out in public? Like, Noel Gallagher's definitely... Oh, my gosh.

Honestly, that is something that... I'm pretty sure they made up, him and his brother, they made up Liam and Noel for a moment there, and they were like, yeah, we're going to make music again together, but then it just seemed to fizzle out again. And actor Michael Douglas, he's married to Catherine Zeta-Jones in the movies Wall Street and Basic Instinct. He's got three children, a 42-year-old son,

but then he's also got a 20-year-old son and an 18-year-old daughter. And he's said that it's rough because often he gets mistaken as his daughter's grandfather, but then he has to correct people and be like, no, she's actually my daughter. Do you know something similar happened to us yesterday? We were having a photo with producer Juliet, and then the photographer was like, oh, okay, we'll get you guys out of there.

It looks like your two dads and your daughter. Yeah, because we were wearing, like, tuxedos at the time, and you were wearing quite a fancy outfit. It looked like, you know, you got your ball photo, and we're like, oh, we're so proud of her after her first ball. It was actually very funny to watch. I was like, oh, okay. No, like put your hands on your shoulders

and it was kind of like a weird family photo, wasn't it? It was like those old 80s photos that you get or like when your children get those school photos in primary school together and they have to awkwardly stand in front of the blue cloudy wall and have their awkward hand on the shoulder. It literally looked like that. No more pressure in a childhood than that one shot you've got. Oh, I know.

To get the photo. They're not mucking around. Because you've got a photographer who's just dying inside. I should be in Milan taking photos of models on catwalks, but I'm here taking... It's shocking photos just because of the one shot. You're like, you've got lazy eyes. Like, lazy eyes.

Give me a couple of options. Speaking of, sorry, quickly, when we were doing the photos yesterday, one of the lovely makeup artists, she's worked on a couple of options. Speaking of, sorry, quickly, when we were doing the photos yesterday, one of the lovely makeup artists, she's worked on a lot of film sets, worked on The Great Gatsby, not filmed in New York, I learnt. It was filmed in Sydney, the whole thing, even though it's based in New York. I asked about Leonardo DiCaprio and Carrie Mulligan, who are the two stars. She said they were both lovely people.

And that made me very happy because I'm a big Leonardo DiCaprio fan. Oh, there we go. That just came into my head. Sorry, I had to share that with because I'm a big Leonardo DiCaprio fan. Oh, there we go. That just came into my head. Sorry I had to share that with everybody. Very happy about Leonardo DiCaprio. One of the great Gatsby's been lying to us this whole time. Based in Sydney. I know, I know.

There we go. That was an awkward photo shoot though, Juliet. I'm sorry about that. No, that's okay. They didn't even do us the justice of taking the photo. Yeah, they did, they did. Get out of there. And that is five more.

You can head to thehits.co.nz. Add these two men together, and somehow you get three quarters worth of a normal van. The Hits with Jono and Ben for breakfast. One of the joys of this job is where we park. It's a couple of blocks away from the radio studio, and it's in the centre of the city. And the different mornings, you can notice,

you can tell the day without even knowing what day it is. I could tell you what day it is by what's going on in town at four o'clock in the morning. You know, Monday, it's pretty bland. Tuesday, things are starting to ramp up a little bit. There's a couple of stumbly sales reps wandering around town. Wednesday, it lights up a whole lot. But then Friday's a whole other game.

It really is. You know, you're walking through. It's like a war-torn zone out there, isn't it? Like the Gaza Strip. And today I came across a Dyson vacuum cleaner sitting in the middle of the road. Oh, is that where that's from? Yeah. You pick it up in the middle of the road?

Yeah, well, I thought, oh, you know, this is some wonderful radio fodder. This was just in the middle of the road. It's a top-quality Dyson that's probably seen better days. Does it still work? It doesn't look like it still works. No. As I was walking down the road I was like, oh there's a Dyson. I was like, oh there's a pair of socks. There's some underpants. There's some jeans.

There's a shirt. Is that what you're wearing today? I thought it was all pieced together from some random collection. A holey hoodie. It's Le Derelict, where I pick my fashion up on the way to work every morning. The catwalks of Auckland. He's got the odour and the dress smarts of a homeless man. Well, this is better than what I was actually wearing.

Yeah, actually, yeah. So I left my clothes on the footpath. And yours, I walk past. I see how this works. But then I looked up at the apartment. I was like, it must have been one of those scenes where someone was maybe having a disagreement. And they're like, you're out of the house.

Boom. All over the balcony. And you're Dyson. Not the Dyson. The Dyson as well. You're all gone. And then you picked up the Dyson. Yeah, yeah, nah.

Yeah, nah. Yeah, nah. The home of yeah, nah She'll be right And at the end of the day Jono and Ben Breakfast on the hits 101 Cash and the car

Well, of course you do And if you know the exact amount To the scent That is stashed in the back Of the brand new MG SUV Then you can take home Both of those things right now Well, geez

A load of text coming through now You're sort of getting The abusive text messages Of I know the figure. Why don't you call back and text the loyal supporters? Oh, so people can't get through but they know the answer,

they reckon. It must be very frustrating. One text here saying, I've called literally 220 times this morning. Oh. Oh, I'd love to call you back. Well, we don't even know

the figure, though. We can call them back and they can say their number but we wouldn't know if it was right or not. This is wonderful. We don't have to play the bad guys in this situation because, you know, we're shallow narcissists, radio announcers.

We don't want to upset anyone, but I'll tell you who does want to upset people is Boss Todd, who's in the work garage and a load of calls coming through, Toddy. Oh, my God. People are trying to get through. We'll go with... Is that you, Claire? It is. All right. We've got Claire. And how are you, Claire? It is. All right.

We've got Claire. And how are you feeling today? A bit nervous. Oh, mate, you've got no idea how nervous we all are here. But we're having so much fun. We're at the tense end of things. Claire, it's the hits, cash and car. We've been giving clues.

Have you been playing along with the clues? Yeah, mostly. I've gotten onto most of them, I think. All right. Well, as I say, some of them have been cryptic. Some clues? Yeah, mostly. I've kind of cottoned on to most of them, I think. All right. Well, as I say, some of them have been cryptic, some of them have been obvious. I won't drag it out any longer. Claire, you're either going to win the cash in car right now, or you're going to make it nearly so obvious for everyone else that they're going to thank you for it. Claire, what is the amount of cash I've put in the back of the gorgeous MG ZS. Okay, $15,981.97. $15,981 and how many cents? 97. 97. Claire, as I said to you, you're either going to win it or make someone else really, really happy because it makes the next whatever's left obvious.

You've done the latter. It's a no. And Claire, hey, thank you. Look, I won't tell you how close you've gone, but I will say this. It is lower than $15,981.97. Claire, thank you so much for your contribution. No worries. Thank you. The lovely Claire, there she goes.

Team, I know how you're feeling. I know what you're doing. This will be your day. Hunting down the hits, cash and card. Good luck. We'll be back at 11.30. We apologise in advance. Sorry about that.

Sorry about that. I'm sorry to rope you into this. Sorry you've been dragged into this. Jono and Penn. Breakfast on the heads. The heads. The heads. Jesus, anyone else notice an abundance of road cones?

All over Aotearoa. You'd want to get into the road cone manufacturing game, wouldn't you? I guess I hadn't noticed it, but now that you say it, I probably will notice it. There are just road cones everywhere. I've got road cones on my street at the moment, and it's almost like the highly anticipated road works coming soon. Because this poor road cone guy, he comes along, he fastidiously places road cones,

perfect sort of metre and a half in between each cone, all up and down the road. To stop people parking. Stop people parking. He's like, road works coming soon. And then the road works never come, and so he packs up the cones the road. To stop people parking. Stop people parking. He's like, roadworks coming soon. And then the roadworks never come. And then so he packs up

the cones every night. He comes back the next day. He's a very optimistic road cone man. He's kind of like, they told me they'd be here soon. They're coming soon, guys. Do you know the one day

he doesn't do it is the day they're going to come, isn't it? It's always the way that works. Yeah. So, I mean, this poor guy, he's just packing,

he's putting out cones, packing up cones. They're obviously held up on another gig. And they're like, Barry, trust us, mate. We'll get, we packing, he's putting out cones, packing up cones. They're obviously held up on another gig. And they're like, Barry, trust us, mate, we'll get, we'll be there soon. Alright, put the cones out. Do you want me to keep putting the cones out? Keep putting the cones out, Barry. They need to know they're coming soon.

I'd just leave. If I was him, I'd just like, well, the cones are out. I've left it. You know what I mean? Be like, come to it when you need to be there. Yeah. It's not his fault that, you know, they're coming longer. It's like, if people can't park their cars on the street for seven weeks while they're

waiting, it doesn't matter. Yeah, good old, good old. I love him. I just want to send a shout out to him. The poor road cone guy. Yeah. Well, I hope your weekend's getting better. Jono and Ben on the hits breakfast.

Friends of Skinny. Happy, happy, happy, oh, oh.
