Jono, Ben & Megan - The Podcast - FULL: What Are The Things We Miss From The 90s?

Episode Date: June 21, 2021

On today's show, we began reminiscing about the best things that happened or existed in the 90s. We're compiling a list because this Friday we're doing a complete 90s themed show - music from the 90s, guests who were big in the 90s, outfits from the 90s and more! We also caught up with Clarke Gayford who made an incredible birthday cake for Neve's 3rd birthday - it had a screen in it so he could change the "theme" of the cake up! We then discussed when you've gone above and beyond for your kids birthday parties (unfortunately the Kardashain's didn't call up). Finally, we caught up with Paul Wood, who was convicted of murder and spent years behind bars. He became the first person in NZ to progress through undergraduate & Masters degrees while in prison. Now a motivational speaker & development specialist, we caught up with him and talked about stress, and how to realise that stress can actually be a good thing.

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. Hey guys, kia ora, welcome to the podcast, the J&B podcast. 21st of June, joined by Ben Boyce and his wonderful daughter Sienna Boyce as well. Welcome Sienna. Hi.

How are you? Good, how are you? Yeah, good. Now, you're coming for a voice job today. Yeah. Well, yeah. Is it voice work? Yeah.

It's a child labour, you know, I'm getting into child labour now. Well, the thing is, you're signed up to the same agency as your father. Yes. The same talent agency and Ben tells me every time he gets an email from the agency he's thinking, I've got a job. Is that audition available? It's really funny when it happens because I was right near him once. It was so

funny. Oh and he said he thought he had got a gig. But all the gigs are for you. Yeah, he was like, yes! And I'm like he realised it's for me, right? And he's like, oh. Damn! Get your own email address. It's slowly destroying your father. No, it's really funny though.

No one wants me. No one wants me. These things, I'm reading roles and I'm reading lines for her in auditions. They're looking for a dad. I'm like, well, I'm a dad. So they want you to be the daughter. Sometimes that'll happen.

She'll audition for something and it'll be like a dad-daughter thing. But I'll be reading the script going, I could be the dad. You know, I could do this. I'm the dad. I am your dad. Yeah, but anyway. You've been trying.

You've been practicing for that role for a long time. But then you guys are always busy, like doing your podcast and stuff. Yeah, the podcast does take up a lot of time. Doing a little podcast. So I think my job's in my job. Yeah, no. The podcast takes a lot of time. Yeah, all the time we spend on little podcast. So I think my jobs and my jobs. Yeah, no, the podcast, a lot of time. Yeah, all the time we spend on the podcast. That's why I can't do all the other work.

That's why you don't see me on telly as much these days, because of the podcast. I actually see Sienna on television more than I do. Yeah, I've got the podcast, though. You know how busy that is to do the podcast. And it's going well, mate. Yeah, it's really going well. I'm putting a lot of effort into the podcast.

I listen to the podcast at night. Do you? Yeah. Yeah, why? Because you're struggling to? Sleep. Yeah. And it helps her.

It helps her go to sleep. Anyway, you keep up the good work. You keep up the good work, Sienna. And Ben, you do your podcast. I'll be here now doing the podcast. The podcast is great. It's my thing, the podcast. Yeah.

So, Sienna, now you're intruding on your dad's thing. Yeah. This is a special little podcast. This is the podcast the podcast is great it's my thing the podcast yeah so why so Sienna now you're intruding on your dad's thing yeah this is a special little this is the podcast welcome to

Jono and Sienna the podcast let me cut out the podcast no no no anyway I had a fun show this morning at Paul Wood

he's a psychologist really interesting guy Paul he was in prison when he was 18 years old for a number of years and he while in prison

became a psychologist and a doctor. And he has released a new book called Mental Fitness. Interesting to talk about. He talks about stress. And I think everyone deals with stress in some form. Like when you're missing out on gigs. Yeah. Some deal with it better than others.

But he gives some really good advice on how you can deal with it. And I thought it was kind of good. Not all stress is bad. It's not necessarily bad to be stressed. It's your body's way in some ways of telling you. Hey, this is what you should be. You're preparing yourself. It's important, you know,

but it just depends on how much you let it take over, I guess. When was the last time you were really stressed? Oh, I don't know. You're a stressy guy. Yeah. Yeah. I was all stressed. Have you stressed this morning yet?

I'm stressing now. I'm like, this podcast has been going too long. Where are you going on, you know? How are the numbers on the podcast? Well, that's all he's got. Will I ever get an audition for my agent? You know, all these things, they're going through my mind. And also we had a really fun show this morning because we checked out a topic there with Clark Gayford, New Zealand's first man. He improvised with a cake for his daughter who couldn't make up her mind

whether it was a Moana cake, Neve, is her name Moana or Frozen or another one. So what he did is essentially just put an iPad in a cake, playing all the movie trailers. It's quite genius, actually. A really, really cool cake. Like a huge waste of an iPad. Yeah, I know. He baked it in the oven as well.

That's on the podcast anyway. Well, you guys, now we just realised last week that it's kind of like the Hits birthday this week towards the end of the week on Friday. We think it's Friday, so we're going to celebrate it on Friday when the Hits started back in the early 90s. Yeah, we had a discussion and we thought what we would do is some up the guts,

wholesome, no holds barred, slightly erotic in parts, nostalgia. The erotic bit is when Ben's doing the Macarena. He really digs it into that dance. So yeah, we're going to have a special show on Friday. We're going to have a 90s show,

early 90s show. We're going to be partying like it's the early 90s. Juliet, what were you then? Oh, I wasn't born. You might have been negative 11? Yeah, I was born in 98, so negative 8.

7 or 8? Yeah. But we wanted to get nostalgic this week and we thought we'd start right now To give us some ideas about what we could be doing on Friday's show So we could play music from obviously Between 1990 and 1995 Somewhere around there Yeah, it's 2021

The boys to men have turned into sensible 50 year olds working in appropriate jobs now New kids on the block are now old men And probably chariot vans dropping kids off at school now. And we want to celebrate. So what we're going to do right now, I'll wait home with the hits. You just phone us up.

You mention one thing from the 90s and we'll go, oh, and we'll make some sort of nostalgic groan. Do you want to kick things off, Ben? Yeah, I can kick things off. Let's go Sony Discman. Oh, yeah. No, you wouldn kick things off. Let's go Sony Discman. Oh, yeah.

Juliet's looking at you. You're scratching your face. What is it called? Picture an iPod, which you wouldn't even picture now because it's not even relevant. Picture your phone. Yeah, but picture that nine times bigger and playing CDs. Yeah, so if you want to

listen to a song, you've got to put a CD in there. Sony Discman. You're picturing that? Sony Discman. So you walk around with it on. Oh, it's mobile. It's portable. Yeah, you can take it anywhere. Oh, these things! They're good. I have seen those. Wait, how did you carry it? Did you have to hold it in your hand?

Because it wasn't a pocket option, was it? Oh no, it had a clip you could put on your waist. You go, I could go for a run with it, but you couldn't because it wasn't a pocket option was it i thought yeah i had a clip you could put on your waist and i mean you're like you're going you go i could go for a run with it but you couldn't because it would skip your favorite songs boys to men were making a weird love to me while that was on because it was just over and over again. So yeah, that's an example. Do you want to do one? The fax machine. What a piece of technology. Communication technology.

If you slowly wanted to retrieve a message from a machine, they'd be like, and the paper would slowly come out and you could read the message. Wasn't there two phones? That was what, like a call, it was either a phone call or a fax? Oh, yeah, that was.

I remember getting a job and picking up the phone, and it'd be like, hey, it was a fax call. Yeah, my dad would always stress it. Whenever the phone ran, I'd go and answer it. I knew it was a fax, but I'd just go and answer it just to see him. Who's that fax? You're like, hello? Leave it at the fax!

Prior residence. It's a fax! And then he'd answer the phone, and you're like, oh, it's a fax, Dad. Who's that? It was a fax! But yeah, the fax machine. What we should do is we should hook up a fax machine for Friday. Can you actually still, do they still exist?

I imagine you'd just plug it into the, why am I talking? I don't know what you'd plug it into. Something. And maybe we only give away prizes just via the form of fax. Fax. I love it. The fax of life.

I love it. Okay, so 800th of Hits, that's how it's going to work, leading into our 90s show on Friday, celebrating the start of The Hits. Just mention something from the 90s, and we'll reminisce about it right now, okay? Oh, this is a lot of fun. Join us next.

It is The Hits. You got John, I'm Ben. Now, on Friday, we're taking it back to where The Hits started, celebrating The Hits. What started is in the early 90s, so we're going to have a 90s radio show playing 90s music on Friday

and talking about we might try and track down some people from the 90s as well. Oh Ben, we're going to be getting giggy with it. Yeah,

you can talk to the hand because the face ain't listening. Oh jeez. Oh jeez. Slogans like that. No, that's quite funny. Booyah,

take a chill pill, dude. Chill pill, that's it it This is how we do it Is that a song? Yeah, that's how we do it Montel Jordan, that's right You're all that and a bag of chips Aye

So if you want to give us a call right now And help us start reminiscing Some things we can talk about Just say a word From the early 90s And we'll go Ah yeah, Juliet We'll go She'll look at, Juliet will go, what?

She'll look at us strangely. We'll give each other a knowing look. And we'll move on to the next one at Rinse and Repeat. Yeah, exactly. Hey, Lloyd, you're on from Auckland. Welcome. Hi, Jen. How are you doing?

Oh, we're good. We're really pumped about this 90s show on Friday. They were the days. They were the days. They were the days. And what do you want to reminisce about there, Lloyd? Well, here's something for Juliet. Dial up internet.

Oh, and the sound effect. Oh, gee, have we got it here? Have we got the sound? There you go. It was a painful, painful, painful, 30 to 60 seconds generally, wasn't it? Going into an internet cafe and having to put your coins in the slot to keep it going.

And like a pitcher would download from the top down, slowly, slowly, slowly get through. You don't know what coins are, by the way. Bit coins. Yeah, bit coins. Good on you, Lloyd. That's great. Cool.

We'll get the dial up into networking for Friday. Leah, welcome from Fielding. Hi, guys. How are you going? We're doing well. Are you going to be tuning in Friday for the 90s Nostalgia Show? I sure am. All right.

I bullied you into it publicly. What do you want to reminisce about? Sega. Oh, Sega. Sega Master System. And then the Mega Drive. Oh, the Mega Drive. That's right.

What is that? Genuinely, I don't know what that is. It was like Mega Drive. Oh, the Mega Drive, that's right. What is that? Genuinely, I don't know what that is. It was like a PlayStation. Oh, okay. Yeah, and Alex the Kid. Do you remember Alex? Sonic the Hedgehog? Sonic the Hedgehog, I was thinking, yeah.

Sonic was the phase. Sonic's just had a reboot, didn't it, with a movie recently. So, you know, he's still... What happened to Sega? Are they still a thing? I don't know. Sega World. I remember going to Sega World in Australia.

That blew my mind. I don't know if it still exists It wouldn't blow your mind today, would it? It would be pretty bleak Did Seager deserve a world? Oh, that's so good, Seager, I love it Now, James from Rotorua, morena, how are you? Morning, lads, Chatterings, the OG fidget spinners

Oh, Chatterings, yes I think, were they a New Zealand thing, or were they just hugely popular in New Zealand? They basically were a circle, like a metal circle, and you would just kind of spin it around with these sort of, almost like little nuts from a screw around it. Yeah, little copper rings. I'm not too sure.

I think they might have been just from NZ, but I'm not too sure. You try to get it to spin around. Yeah. We should give away just 90s prizes on Friday as well. Like tickets to the big day out and things like that. Yeah. Well, don't you want to double pass? And also Tamagotchis.

We should give away some Tamagotchis. Oh, yes. Shatterings. Yeah. I can't think of any more 90s toys. Dismons. We can get some Dismons. Oh, it's going to be fat.

Blockbuster video cards. So you can get all your any more 90s toys. Dismons. We can get some Dismons. Oh, it's going to be fat. Blockbuster video cards. So you can get all your favourite movies from Blockbuster. Actually, when you reminisce about stuff, you're like, oh, those were the days. But they were inconvenient days. Like, compare it to now. Things are really a lot better now. A lot better. We should be enjoying.

Now we should be celebrating 2021. Yeah. But we'll look back in the past and just remember how good things used to be, Juliet, when you had to wait two minutes to connect to the internet. Those were the times. How long have you ever waited to connect to the internet? Never. Never?

Not once? No. Join us Friday. Even when the Wi-Fi's down, you can still go onto your mobile, Dad. A 90s show, it's happening this Friday on the ads. 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

Guys now over the weekend There was a lot of great sport on the telly You're a sports guy too It's part of his character on this show And in real life too Warriors played, the cricket test championship There was netball, there was NBA basketball There was so much sport on

And I watched a bit of it over the weekend And got two young daughters And so they ended up just because i had it on and then we went out for you know for dinner and it was on on the screen this they ended up watching a bit with me as well and they play a little bit of sport like netball and one of my daughters plays football but they ask a lot of questions it's quite funny hearing kids questions on sports so i sort of every time they'd ask a question i'd record them oh well they didn't say record them i just thought you didn't record them for us. I wrote it down.

Oh, I wrote it. Because you always give me grief that I always record my kids. Well, and it's illicit recording as well. It's not, is it consensual?

Have they signed off on this? Signed the waiver? So these are some of the things, some of the observations that my two daughters, you provided while I was watching sport over the weekend. Firstly,

they pointed out that no one can hear me when I yell at the TV, which I thought was quite good too, because you do. You do. Even at the sporting ground, they can't hear you. But you always say, come on, pass the ball. You know? The player's not listening for your advice

in row E32. Sorry, hold on. Stop the game. I'll bury it there. What did you say, mate? I'll spin it out wide. Okay. And follow his advice yeah then i was uh watching i was watching the nba in the uh you know it was quite a close game i was getting quite quite into it and they're like why is such why is this team called the jazz from utah and i'm like oh because utah's utah history of jazz music a lot of jazz music and

then they are so smart these days they google stuff like you juliet and they're like well utah's got no jazz scene no jazz music saying i'm like oh really yeah apparently the team came from uh new orleans and they uh and they kept the same name i was like oh we'll see so they even called me out on my stuff there's no jazz scene in utah the jazz scenes did in utah i was going to say, isn't jazz like... You can do jazz anywhere. Yeah, well, I guess there is, but not to the point of like, hey, there's enough to be called the team. You could have a jazz scene in Huntley. The Huntley

Jazz. You know, it's just need one guy with a trumpet. That'll do. Then we're watching some test cricket and the girls ask me, my daughters, do the mums and dads get annoyed with there's a lot of grass stains on the clothing? I'm like, if they do, they're playing white, which seems stupid.

Well, because they're sliding along the ground. I mean, you need your nappy sand, don't you? Oxy action maybe even on those grass stains. Green would have been a better, come to think of it, they should all be out there in green or a darker sort of colour uniform. It's like when the All Blacks sometimes play in white and I'm like, oh, someone's

not going to be happy. You've got 30 shorts and jerseys. That's a great observation. That was a good observation. We were watching the Warriors and the Warriors had a tough loss right at the end there and one of my daughters was like, don't worry dad, there's still two quarters to go.

I was like, oh no, it's not like netball. There's only two halves. So that was her reassurance that, because I was like, ah! Because they lost right at the end there. I was like, oh no, it's not like netball. There's only two halves. So that was her reassurance there. Because I was like, ah! Because they lost right at the end there. And she was like, oh no, there's still another two quarters. But it's all very confusing. I don't think they can play another 45 minutes. Or two lots of 45 minutes.

Two lots of 45 minutes. Yeah. And the final thing, my observation from my daughters over the weekend, we watched some of the Super Rugby. It was awesome to see the Blues win. But at the start of the game, my girls were always like, who are we going for in this game? Are we going for Spates or are we going for

NIB? When you look at their tops, it's like Spates or NIB are the prominent words on their tops. The Blues and Highlanders are quite small. I guess we'll go for Spades. We'll go for Spades, shall we, on this occasion?

They look like they're paying more. They've got a little more space on the jersey. You can go for N-I-B if you want. So that was some of the observations. But it was cool to see the Blues win and a lot of Kiwis getting, you know. Don't need the Players Association here where you just said about that. Remember, they're going in on the All Blacks at the moment about the sponsorship. Oh, yeah. Take the name on the All Blacks at the moment about the sponsorship. Oh.

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Take the name of the All Blacks away. That's very smart observations from your children. And thank you for not recording them for once. Yeah, I thought I'd give it a break. You made me... You started to weird me out.

Yeah, you made me feel a bit weird about that. Experts in semi-accurate, half-remembered information. Vaguely known information, but maybe not correct. Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast on the hits. Now, we've got a guest with us in the studio right now, Dr. Paul Wood, who's got a brand new book called Mental Fitness, which is out right now. Great to have you here. Oh, thank you.

It's great to be here. Yeah, nice to see you. Now, you've got a new book out. How long does it take to write a book? I've always wondered that. I mean, I think the original seed for it was probably so in before my last book, probably about five or so years ago. It brings together all of my professional expertise and the work I do on a

regular basis, running workshops for people to help them get it better at being who they want to be under pressure, but also just flourishing through life, you know, coping with stress and adversity, all that great stuff. How do you become good at handling pressure?

Because I'm not a good pressure person. I let it all go. It's too much to you. I'm not a good plate spinner or multitask or anything like that. What's one simple effective thing people can do? The simplest thing I would say is to recognise that actually this is a challenge and the stress I'm experiencing right now, that is my body's way of releasing additional psychological and physical resources to deal with this challenge.

The problem is, is we inhabit this period of history where we get these incredibly unhelpful messages like, oh, I shouldn't feel stress. So when we start to feel stress when we're under pressure, we start stressing about stressing instead of going, this is my body getting me focused and releasing additional resources for me to take on this challenge so i was at crossfit earlier this week first rule of crossfit talk about crossfit so i've already got that one in right and i was doing a high intensity workout

there my heart's beating fast i'm sweating i'm breathing with difficulty. I'm really struggling. But because I'm in the context of CrossFit, when I feel this physical stress, I go, oh, this is beneficial. This is satisfying. This is meaningful. This is what you're meant to do. Right. But if I feel that same kind of stress at 2 a.m. in the morning, just waking up in bed, I'm going to interpret it really differently. Yeah. waking up in bed, I'm going to interpret it really differently. So one of the simple things I would say is when you experience stress, start to interpret it as your body's way of helping you take on a challenge.

Stop stressing about stressing. What the book does is, because that's quite a simple idea, right? But what the book does is it looks at all the different ways and areas that you can get more effective at just coping with the stress and the challenges you encounter and bouncing back and recovering after to be able to be who you want to be in the world a be the person you want your reputation to reflect because they're right like you just brought it up there you touched on it there's that there are different types of stress you've got professional stress i guess when there's

a disagreement in your relationship there's another type of stress that's going on and to handle them all one way it's not sustainable no it's it's the equivalent of you throwing me in the swimming pool me trying to run yeah okay that's how effective that is does your wife obviously reads the book does she now also go oh hang on you're doing this thing chapter eight i know what you're doing here my my my wife knows that i am a work in progress like all of us say would it be fair to say life is more stressful than it was 10, 20 years ago? Well, it depends on how you look at it. I think there's a lot more self-imposed stress now.

And in fact, the research suggests one of the biggest stresses which really reduces our well-being in life is our unrealistic expectations around stress and happiness. We have this idea that we're supposed to be happy all the time and live stress-free lives. And therefore, when we experience that unhappiness or stress, we go, I'm a failure. There's something wrong here. Why is it that Jono and Ben are so much happier and less stressed than me, whereas I've got all this stuff going on? And as a result, we actually make it harder to cope. So there's a lot more self-imposed stress. But also, we have far more unrealistic expectations around what our life is supposed to look like now as the result of social media and other things. If you're growing

up now and you're looking at the Kardashians or other people and going, well, success is supposed to be a private jet, then you're going to be significantly less satisfied with the reality of your life. But it's not just that. We have this idea that those are the sorts of things that will make a difference to us. The things that make a big difference is how we conceptualize our experience of life, how we engage with the world, engage with stress, which by the way is just a sign you're doing something meaningful with your life. You're pursuing your potential. But also our relationships with other people. It's not about material stuff. What are the traits of a person who is good at handling stress?

They get better at recognising and predicting the situations that are going to be stressful. And we all have these, right? And if you can predict them in advance, then you can start getting better at implementing strategies to be more effective. Let me give you an example. My most consistent day-to-day stressor is non-compliance from my kids around getting their shoes on to get out the door in the morning, right? You've got to do it every morning, kids. But the thing is, this is predictable. I know this is going to happen again. Now what I do, and I attempt to do this, I don't always nail it because that's the journey. It's about getting better, not being perfect, right?

It's when I start to feel those sensations that I've already predicted because I know this is the situation, then I can implement a strategy there. And the strategy that I implement is actually just going, I'm going to assume control here and I'm just going to go, what's the next mini goal that I need to accomplish to make this happen?

And that is to go and get their shoes myself, to go down there to grab one of those little feet and put that shoe on myself and I just do it as I would like any type of clinical procedure, I'm not getting emotional now, I'm just making it happen. Well even when you're just using that small example of tying up shoes

you know you can start implementing the practices with the smallest things, which is great, like me stressing out about getting a parking ticket right now. Yeah, yeah. What do I do? Maybe don't park in the P30 every day. Maybe.

Maybe that's an idea. I mean, you know, Auckland Council does need, you know, its revenue. So maybe I should start paying for parking. That's another one. Dr. Paul Wood, it's always so good to catch up with you. I just sit back and I really, really enjoy listening to what you have to say. Thanks, Paul. Such a pleasure.

And you can get Paul Wood's book, Mental Fitness, out now at bookstores and on Audible. Ben and Jono call this show Jono and Ben. Breakfast on the hips. The hips. Now, previously on Jono and Ben, just three minutes ago, we were debating. It was a moral dilemma.

Do we text the first man of New Zealand, Clark Gayford, and try and get him on the show after the song? We thought before seven, not appropriate texting time. We waited till 7.01. We constructed a beautifully crafted text to see if he'd join us because he's going viral for something. And Ben Boyce. Yeah.

He's come through. He's come through. Clark Gayford, three minutes later. I'm sorry for the early morning wake-up call on a Monday. Sir, I've been up for well over an hour now. Oh, we could have texted you before, Seb. You could have. You could have.

I had my own little alarm clock walk into the room and woke me up about 10 to 6 wanting to play with their birthday presents. Is it Niamh's birthday today? It is. Oh, happy birthday, Niamh. Yeah,? It is. Oh, happy birthday, Niamh. Yeah, she's pumped. Oh, that's a very exciting day for the whole family. But awesome that you went viral last night.

You did an amazing thing for Niamh. Explain the cake that you made. Well, I was kind of cheating in a way. There was a lot of pressure on me for the birthday cake. And I did one of those things you do in a relationship where you argue yourself into the thing that you didn't really necessarily think that you should be doing. Oh, right, so you were saying, I want to do the cake, but now...

I'll do the cake, I'll do the cake, and then, OK, and then I'm like, I'm doing the cake. Do you have any cake baking skills? Not really. I've made the odd cake in the past, but no, that was, it's not so much making the cake, it's the decoration, as anyone knows. That's the stressful part that really, yeah, it's the bit where it can all, you know, fall apart.

And Neville was requesting, as kids do, you know, different cakes at different times leading up to her birthday. And she was being wound up by her mum as well who was pulling out the woman's weekly book and going through everything. Oh, she's not the, you don't want that big pool jelly cake you know that one with the chocolate fingers around the side. The train looks hard too.

Nah, it's one of the carousel ones which is multi-layered and I was like she kept pointing at that. And I was like, absolutely not. It's got working mechanical parts in it. And if your cake has to manoeuvre its way around, it's not worth doing. It does always get pretty complicated. Okay, thank you.

So they wanted a Moana cake. I understand at some stage there it was a frozen cake, and then it was a Mickey Mouse cake? We did the rounds, and then it was rinse and repeat. And I was trying to pin her down. I was like, okay, Moana, Moana today. And then she'd be like, no, frozen. Okay, all right, frozen.

Oh, no, Mickey Mouse. And it just went around, around, around. And so I just thought, well, is there a way I can make all three in a very simplified cake form? And I had a little trick up my sleeve, and so it seemed to work quite well. That was beautiful. So what Clark has done is, I won't steal your thunder. What was your solve on this problem, Clark?

Well, I've got to... I was mucking around with a little bit of... Basically, I made a TV, and then I got it projected an image onto it basically I had a little program that could trace images out so I just filled up the TV screen and then I

downloaded the trailer from Moana and then frozen and then put a bit of Mickey Mouse in there and away we went. So it works like you're clicking a remote at this cake and it's got like an actual digital screen and it changes between the trailers. It's very impressive.

Yeah, it's this little thing that, it's called projection mapping and it was just a little thing that I bought and I've just been, you know what it's like when you're at home alone and you're mucking around and you're online and click and here it is. Genius. So it's like, just imagine sort of like an iPad sitting in it with a cake border. So the iPad to cake ratio seems like a

lot of screen and a little amount of cake around the border there, Clark. Yeah, well see, this is the beauty of it because you're projecting image onto it. It's not all sort of sticky icing. You know when sometimes when you go and get those printed pictures to put on cakes and it gets a bit soft or your cake's a bit wobbly and then suddenly the kid's face goes all... Yeah. Where the nose goes and the mouth.

Oh, no, that doesn't look anything like them anymore. But this way you get to, you know, put it all down. The hardest part I had was Niamh got upset because she thought that if we ate her cakes, she wouldn't have a TV to watch anymore. Yeah, you do have to be careful what you're actually eating with a cake like that, don't you? Clark, it was a great solve. Appreciate it.

Happy birthday to Niamh. Hope you guys have a wonderful day. We've got a big one planned. Good on you, mate. That's awesome. It's such an amazing cake. Yeah. We saw it last night.

Jacinda's got it on her Instagram. Clark's got it on his as well. It's very an amazing cake We saw it last night Jacinda's got it on her Instagram Clark's got it on his as well It's very very impressive So what we want to chuck open this morning 0800 the hits 4487 you can text to When you went above and beyond for the birthday You know there's a lot of wild demands

From miniature human beings Leading up to the big day I remember Poppy She was like her fourth birthday She was like I want 70 balloons Have you ever blown up 70 balloons oh no your mouth gets rashy like you got a pash rash around by the end of it i got to 70 you got the 70 balloons and she was like oh then they sort of you know they whittle away they stay around the

house and they sort of slowly turn wrinkly like old raisins and then you throw them out inevitably was it worth it probably not i did i Did I have the lung capacity? No. So what have you done for a child's birthday? Your daughters, your sons, we'd love to hear from you this morning. You know, kids, they plan months, almost as soon as the birthday's done. It's like Rhythm and Vines. As soon as one event's done, it's like, ticket's already on sale for next year.

Pre-order now. It's like they just roll into another one. I remember a friend, I think I've mentioned this many times before, but Sienna, my daughter, her friend was having what she thought was a zombie party. And so we went above and beyond. We had an old princess dress and we made her into a zombie princess,

ripped up the dress, put sort of, you know, made her hair all, you know, teased it up all high and eye makeup and all sorts of stuff, you know, looking like she was all like a zombie. Then I turned up to drop her off and no one else was dressed up. It was just a normal party.

At no point in the correspondence, the word zombie was never mentioned. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know where she got zombie from. But yeah, to her credit, she was just like, oh yeah, all good. Well, you turn whatever party you want into what you want it to be, don't you? Yeah. That's the great thing about parties. Exactly.

And that's why Ben's never allowed back at any of the work ones. It was a wild night, wasn't you? That's the great thing about parties. Exactly. And that's why Ben's never allowed back at any of the work ones. It was a wild night, wasn't it? Let's go to the phone show. We'll get Sandra on from Wellington. Going above and beyond for the birthday, Sandy, what'd you do? Well, for my daughter's,

I think it was her sixth birthday, I won like a $1,000 party shop voucher. So it meant I could splurge a bit and I got, there was about 10 kids that came. We got them some really good goodie bags, you know. A thousand dollars worth of goodie bags? Yeah, they were full. That's like the Academy Awards. What was in the goodie bags? All sorts, everything that you can imagine. But then my son turned five the next year

and he didn't quite understand the concept And so I had to do the same thing twice With my own money the next time Yeah, that's the thing with goodie bags You find yourselves in a hole Then it becomes expected from the children Oh, it does, right They're like, where's the goodie bags?

You don't get a goodie bag everywhere you go No, you're like, I just put on this party Yeah, okay, yeah That's the way you look at it I want goodie bags. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, almost demanding them. I know.

Has there... Who ever set up the goodie bag thing? I know, we got into a black hole of goodie bags, didn't we? It's like us with our coffee buying. Yeah, I know, yes. We alternate days on buying coffee.

I know. Yeah, we can't get out of the hole. I know. Everyone wants the coffee. Yeah. Let's go to Kelly from Guyapoy. Welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast. Kelly, go and be on for the birthday.

Hi. Yeah. My daughter, when she turned three, I threw her an entire carnival party. Oh, gee. Like the Webber Brothers Circus. Yeah. It was full on. My husband's a good artist, so he did the cartoon cardboard cutouts

where you could put your face behind it and have a picture taken as Tinkerbell or Silly Monkeys in a Tree. We had bouncy castles. We had the proper tickets and sideshow games so that kids could cash the tickets in for prizes. Oh my God! And we only

served hot dogs, chips, candy floss, lollies and popcorn. That's all we served. You're a better parent than I will ever be. All the other parents would be secretly talking about you back. I mean, it's impressive. They've got a carnival party. The only thing they could zero in on was your unhealthy

cuisine, probably, and they would be moaning about that. Yeah, but it's carnival themed, though, so you win on that count. Well done. That sounds awesome. Really good, Kelly. Someone's texting saying, my daughter wanted a unicorn to attend her birthday hell of a cameo a unicorn isn't it oh yeah uh so he's like i we got a got a white horse and had like a strap on on the uh i mean a horn like a uh spike on the head yeah

and that's and that was the unicorn good work around I've seen parties like that before Yeah, wonderful job We'll go to Mel and Todong Welcome, how are you? How are you, Mel? Hello Good to have you on You went beyond for the birthday? Yeah, so we threw a kid's birthday party

And, you know, we thought we'd get the old petting zoo in Oh, gosh Animals in your backyard's a risky manoeuvre, isn't it? Yeah, well, we actually We have a pretty small backyard and we didn't actually expect as many animals. There was about 50 animals. And they all turned up

and it got a little out of control. So they all kind of ended up down the street. Oh, Dr Doolittle. It was a community gathering, kind of. Everyone came out to come see and do. There's a llama spitting in your elderly neighbour's face. Community gathering, kind of. Everyone came out to come see. There's a llama spitting in your elderly neighbour's face.

So thank you very much. Appreciate your call and your text, New Zealand. Thank you. New Zealand's breakfast. This is Jono and Ben on the hits. Kia ora, good morning. Welcome along to the show. It is a Monday morning.

Jono and Ben back with you on the shortest day, guys. Shortest day. Is this solstice? Is this what they call solstice? I'm not sure. I have no idea. I've never heard that word used. What I will do is I will do what the show does so well.

Google on the fly in the moment, winter solstice New Zealand, Monday the 21st of June. Is that today? That is. That's today. It is, yeah. They call it winter solstice. And 3.31 p.m. the solstice will be. So what is solstice? What happens call it winter solstice. And 3.31pm the solstice will be. So what is year?

What is solstice? What happens during the winter solstice? Here we go. In the northern hemisphere, the North Pole is... Oh God, this is too long. Sun's shifted. You came in with confidence about something. It's a solstice.

This must be a big thing. This must be a big year. It's a winter celebration of the sun. Ah. And solstice generically means The time or date twice each year At which the sun reaches its maximum or minimum Right, so this is the minimum amount of time The sun's going to be around

And so there's a summer solstice too When it's the longest day of the year And so that means the opposite to us In the northern It'll be the longest day of the year Right They'll be having their great solstice They'll be going, this is solstice, guys.

Solstice, baby. All I want is chips and dip now after saying the word solstice about nine times. It doesn't look like that, does it? There we go. So the Day of the Sun's rebirth. Many societies throughout history celebrate this day. So, gee whiz, we started with some information first off. On a Monday morning.

That's a lot. Too much information. TMI. Now, 7.45 this morning, here's some more information first off. On a Monday morning. That's a lot. Too much information. TMI. Now, 7.45 this morning. Here's some more information for you. Your chance to win $5,000. And joining us in about 20 minutes time, she won Popstars New Zealand. Christabel joins us.

Yeah, and the biggest prize is turning up to the hits at 6.20am on a Monday morning. We're looking forward to that. It is the hits. You've got Jono and Ben. They're proud of New Zealand. Go New Zealand. If only New Zealand was that. She got Jono and Ben. They're proud of New Zealand. If only New Zealand was proud of them. Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast on the hits.

Over the weekend, we went up and we spoke on Newstalk ZB. We talked about the news for an hour on the weekend collective with the two Tims. It was very fun. It was enjoyable. It was a lot of fun. We didn't know how to dress, so we both turned up wearing tuxedos and top hats. We looked like the Monopoly man.

We're like, good day to you, sir. This fine broadcasting establishment. It's nice to be up there though, isn't it? It's a lovely part. It's the same building that we work in but Newstalk ZB's up a couple of floors. It's just a better class of person up there. We touched, we wrapped our hands around Mike Hosking's Dyson vacuum cleaner.

Oh, yeah, I put it on my social media as well over the weekend and then got a message back from Kate Hawksby, who, of course, here and Mike Hosking are married. And she says, Mike says, put the vacuum cleaner back down. Do not touch the vacuum cleaner. He would not have been happy, eh? Because he's got two vacuum cleaners up there. They're both his, the users.

There's two Dysons. Has he got a backup one in case one... Yeah, one was sort of more portable, maneuverable one and that one's more yes your plug-in job yeah a bit more suction power it was like there was a message came through straight away going mike says put that back in because hosking uh every morning fastidiously vacuums every part of the studio the floors the walls there's not a speck of dust in that studio. I'd just like to just ruffle things around a little bit, just a little, not like a big mess,

but just a slight little niggle of a ruffle. Yeah, exactly. But no, we had a lot of fun, and listen, the irony's not lost on us, Ben, that we've ended up talking on a station that we've spent many times prank calling. Yeah, true, because when we first started here at the Hits Radio Station, we had the idea to call a segment Booze Talks ZB, where we'd both...

It works because it rhymes. Yeah, yeah. It's a pun. So over the weekend, you and I would take turns, and one weekend you'd do it, and then the next weekend I'd do it. We'd pretend to be a little bit boozed and call up News Talks ZB,

and the game was to see how long you could stay on the air talking on talk back before you got uh rudely cut off by the uh well not rudely cut off probably just appropriately cut off by the host as they're doing a competent job you did it once so i think it was week two so first week you uh you you phoned the building show and you're and you basically only a matter of seconds before they cut you off right and then the second week i phoned the two people the two tims tim Tim Roxburgh and Tim Beveridge, that we were on air with this weekend. And this is how it went when I was pretending to be a wee bit boozed.

Joining us, hi there, Tim. Hi there, Tim. How's it going? Tim, Tim. Tim. Three Tims on the radio, Tim. I'm sorry, I've had a couple of Tim beverages before starting, but I just want to say... Sounds great.

You don't need to send the kids to school. We've got Google, guys. We've got Google. We can Google anything. We'll end up raising a generation of anti-vaxxers and Trump fans. So that's where I thought it would finish, because I rang up and I was like, oh, because you got cut off so quickly. I was like, I'll say a joke

about having too many Tim beverages, which is his last name. I'll say Timber. That's all I'd really planned. And then you're like, well, there's my gear. There's my content. Done. Voice out.

Prank. Done and dusted. But then I imagine, because it happens on Talkback, sometimes they don't have lots of calls. And so they decided to keep me around and then I started to kind of sober up because I kind of got sucked into the

conversation. So Tim, not Beveridge, but Tim on the phone. So what's the lockdown situation been for you other than the occasional Tim Beveridge? Oh, it's been pretty good. I mean, as you say, TikTok and Google have been looking after my kids quite nicely. And have

you done anything yourself, Tim, on the phone? Well, yeah, I've had a couple of Tim beverages. Okay. Have you actually got kids at home at the moment, or is this a fictitious call? Yeah, no, I have got three kids at home at the moment. Yeah, that'd be good. We have been doing it in all seriousness.

We've been trying to do it. You start going, in all seriousness. We've been trying to do it. We can start going in all seriousness. In all seriousness, guys. Oh, shit. I love it. I was even drunk. You can tell my stomach's sobering up at my performance. I love it.

When the prank called. Hey, guys, in all seriousness. I'm sorry. Teachers, we're doing a great job. I've got no more pranks I want to do on you. I retired from the prank game. I'm sorry. Teachers, we're doing a great job. I've got no more pranks I want to do on you. I retired from the prank game that day. Very funny.

So when you went home on the weekend, did they bring this up? No, they didn't bring it up. I kept thinking they were going to bring it up, but they didn't. They were way too professional for that. No, they'd probably forgotten about it. They'd do so much. Anyway, it was wonderful. It was lovely.

Juliette, if you ever go up there, the whole studio is made out of Louis Vuitton leather handbags. The walls are... What a dream. Tell you what, it was fun. I don't know if we'll be invited back, but it was fun. Paid to talk words and stuff into a microphone. It's New Zealand's breakfast. Jono and Bam on the hits. Now, Popstars, the reality music show was on a couple of weeks back,

and the winner was of course christabel and the winner of pop stars 2021 is christabel christabel uh deserved winner uh she got amazing voice uh christabel and And she joins us right now in the studio after that win. It must be surreal. Very. It's really weird. Evie, is it sunken yet? I think it's kind of half sunken.

I'm just kind of wavering at the moment, trying to figure out my next step. So did you win cash too? You won like 100 grand? It's not in my account yet. Oh, okay. Do you want us to follow that up with the accounts department? We can follow that up. No, but yes and I'm very excited because I've got lots of plans.

Have you mentally spent it? Mentally spent some of it, yes. What was it like after that moment, directly after the moment? Because I saw the live final, there was celebrations and stuff and the cameras stopped rolling. Then what goes on after that? Because directly after the moment, because I saw the live final, there was celebrations and stuff and the cameras stopped rolling. Then what goes on after that? Because you guys all look like

you got on really well, the final four, you know, like, you know, so it must have been awesome for you, but at the same time you want, you know, you feel gutted for the other people, I guess.

Yeah, absolutely. It was really hard because like you've, in previous situations with like eliminations, it was like a similar feeling where, you know, I would be put with like eliminations, it was like a similar feeling where, you know, I would be put with like one other person at the end

and then someone would have to go home and then I felt like I couldn't be happy for myself. It was a little different this time around. Everyone was really happy and, you know, celebrating with me and stuff. But I was also really gutted for everyone else because they were just, you know, they worked so hard. Well, you're all so talented. Every single one of you are talented.

But what we did notice is you were the very first person to audition on the show and the person to win the show. They could have really cut out a lot of the middle. Yeah, that's the one. Done, we've found it. Yeah, yeah, no. Like, I think it would have been a waste of money. Money and time to do that.

But, I mean, like, I guess I agree with you. So what next? Yeah, you try... You've got singles? You say a single coming out? Yes. So lots of people are asking about Ankle Deep, which is a song that I sang during Popstars.

And when it's coming out, I can't tell you when it's coming out, but it is coming out soon. I'm hopping in the last time you talked to us you're like you got to check out my mullet song and we did and it was really good really good song did you see the video yeah the video was fun yeah it was cool it was a song all about mullet and making mullets cool well mullets are cool but it was kind of like from a rural sort of farming aspect it was like yeah you can't be with me if you unless you got a mullet, right? Yeah, it was a huge piss take, but it was a lot of fun to make. And I just thought that you guys might appreciate it.

We enjoyed it. You were right. Can you remember the words to it? Can you? I don't feel like they are clean enough to say on my radio. On the hits? Yeah. No, but New Zealand, if you can look it up online, you can go and treat yourself to the Mullet song.

Yeah. Is it Sam? Sab is my guitarist. Sab is your guitarist. And, Sab, do you follow Christabel around everywhere just waiting to play guitar as soon as she wants to sing a song? Yeah, basically. That's my gig.

I'm ready to go at all times. Guitar's tuned. It's good to go. Sab knows the country Calendar theme song. Oh, do you? We can chuck that on. Can you play that for us? Right now?

Yeah. Oh, yeah. Country Calendar theme song. We were just playing it out in the lobby while we were waiting. Now, Popstar's a massive show on TV, but Country Calendar, that's still, it has been for like 30 years. Is it still going? It's still the biggest show on telly in New zealand it's it's huge that's not a joke you said uh chris mills guitarist

playing the country i love the theme song i get theme tune that's a hell of a jam it brought me so much joy, that song. That was so good. Every time it comes on. Yeah. Do you know the Tux jingle? The Tux dog food jingle? I could learn it, maybe.

Yeah, I'd learn it for next time. Jono knows all the word stuff. I know the Tux. Okay, can you do it? Yeah. Tux keeps him full of life. Fit as a fiddle, sharp as a knife. And Tux keeps him full of life. Lean

and mean in overdrive if he's hurting the cattle shifting the mob. It's a feed for the working dog. Cape Brianga to the bluff. There's only one feed that's good enough and it's tux.

Don't ask me why. Where did you find the time? Well, lovely to see you, and we can't wait to see what's next for you. That's Christabel from Popstars. Real Kiwi blokes with soy lattes. Mmm. Shono and Ben, breakfast on the hits. Now, Woodston Peters, I don't know if you saw over the weekend,

looks like he's coming back. He's coming back? He's coming back. He's coming back. I know they had the New Zealand First Annual General Meeting at the Highbrook Convention Centre. Now, I didn't know there was anything else out at Highbrook apart from the courier place where you have to drive to to pick up your, you know, if you're not home and they leave a card.

Oh, yeah, you have to go all the way to Highbrook. That's all I thought was at Highbrook. But, no, there's a convention centre and you could have stayed at the Quest Apartments for $132 per night. Right. Studio apartment. Oh, nice. If you wanted to attend the New Zealand First AGM,

but I don't know what they're meeting about. They've got nothing to meet about, surely. Yeah, it seemed like he was coming back, because obviously they're not in Parliament at the moment, so he kind of got up there and said all the things that he thinks is wrong with New Zealand. But one of your favourite bits, I actually missed it on the news, was someone had a sign saying, Bring Back Winnie, right? Yeah, so it was a big sign,

and I don't think they had factored in the crowd that they were going to have to navigate when they walked in with the sign. So it was a very enthusiastic supporter. Bring Back Winnie, written on a giant sign. So your wingspan spread wide out, holding both sides of the sign. So quite a hard cardboard sort of sign, like a core flute or something like that? Yeah, a hard substance, you're right.

But then the thing is, he was walking and chanting, and then everyone sitting at the tables was having to duck, because he was coming in at a rate of knots as well. He's very passionate. And he's got an old lady in the face. She got a face load of the Bring Back Winston Peters sign.

And then after that, he kind of sort of like mowed over her face, like pushing her head. And then everyone else was like, oh, this is obviously a hazard. And they were literally ducking as he was coming in with the sign. It was so good. Scrolling through your feed. This is the news with puns cleverly inserted into the sign. It was so good. This is the news with puns cleverly inserted into the stories. My friend Ben Boyce, what has been happening overnight?

Well, Tim Shadbolt, of course, the mayor of Invercargill, and has been mayor for many, many years, and done, I think, a wonderful job over the years of promoting that area. He's always been so generous with his time and talking about the place. But of late, they've been talking about Tim Shadbolt's health. He's been there for 22 consecutive years. Really? He was in Waitakere before that.

So there's been a bit of a talk recently from fellow councillors about whether he's up for the job, health-wise, and it's just been revealed that Tim Shadbolt's got a bit of a voice disorder at the moment. But anyway, Tim Shadbolt says he's fighting fit and he says he's up for the job. And he even put out a challenge to his deputy mayor, who was like, you shouldn't be in the job, to go for, basically, it's kind of like an Olympic-style event, isn't it? Yeah, Nobby Clark.

He said, well, I'll prove my fitness to you in sort of like a Roman times athletics challenge. Now last year he said, I'll challenge you to a 100-yard dash and a 50-meter swim in Splash Palace, the pools in Invercargill. But then this year Shadbolt's come back and gone, I'll do a 100-meter sprint and a 30-meter swim. So obviously Shadbolt a year later is feeling a lot stronger on the track than he is the pool.

Maybe he hasn't been training as much in the pool for this. 30 metres isn't far, is it? But then the deputy mayor called his bluff, right? And said, yeah, we'll do it. But then Nobby's come back. He's like two laps, two full laps of the track and a 100 metre swim. So Nobby's feeling on top of the Wii. He's obviously been training hard.

So we might not get the Olympics this year, I don't know, but maybe this is the best we could hope for. We should televise this and put this little event on telly. I think it'd be interesting. We loved him, Shabot. We had him on, remember we launched, because it was COVID, so you couldn't go anywhere, so we launched the radio show

with a cardboard cutout tour of ourselves, and our cardboard cutouts were making their way around the country. And Shabot and Bluff launched the whole event. But I don't know if a memo had been passed on to him. Well, it's great to see this huge crowd gathered here at the end of Highway 1, ready to spend these two trepidations. Astrologist.

Astrologist.ist astrologist so I don't know if anyone told Tim what we actually do for a job but he was there anyway, he was there to open it I love the idea of just people running running to solve things your man Judith Collins in the National Party

get them out there I reckon the next election, Rudy, Rudy, Judy and Jacinda should have hurdles, 100 metre hurdles or something. Yeah, it'd be a lot of fun to watch actually, so I don't know if that'll actually happen. Can Invercargill have a mayor named Nobby though? Like, is that just destined for years of questionable headlines? It's memorable, memorable. It is, yeah.

I mean, I'm not going to make it. I feel like we should make jokes, but I'm not going to. No, no. Because we are pretending to be better than that. And that is Scully Beer Feed this morning. Next on the show, some of the more unusual headlines. If you thought that was an unusual story, we'll wait till what's happened over the weekend next.

That is the hits. Kia ora. I'm Rachel Jackson-Lees, and this is the B**** News. Now this is a fun form of torture we like to put on ourselves before 7am where we get producer Juliet to beep out certain words from news headlines around the world and we have to decipher the stories.

We've never, I liken it to the radio version of like a, you know, a toy claw machine. You hardly ever win. We've probably only had one or two wins since we've been doing this. A little shaky like the toy machine as well too. And your first news story? And US Olympian blames ******

for positive steroid test. I'm going to say the Olympian was honest and blamed steroids for the positive steroids test. She blamed illegal steroids that she purchased and injected into her system. How you got me? It's the steroids. That's why it's positive.

Banned US Olympian blames pork burrito for positive steroid test. So her name is Shelby Houlihan, and she's a track athlete, and she's been banned from competing for four years now. And so she posted on Instagram basically claiming that eating pork can lead to a false positive for a particular type of steroid. And she went through all of her, like, what she'd eaten in the previous few days before her test and was like, yep, I ate a pork burrito and that is why I am...

Like a taco truck or something. Yeah, it was like a Mexican sort of cart on the side of the road type thing. But I didn't realise that that's quite... I feel like it's quite far-fetched. I mean, when you're caught, you've got to come up with, you've got to try something, don't you? Yeah. Sorry, see what sticks. I would love to see the steroid Olympics,

where we're like, you know, you have your normal Olympics, get that out of the way. Then afterwards, the athletes can go hammer and tog, just jab anything into them, and then see how much they improve. Yeah. That would be very crazy. Or even just people that are on steroids that have been for years just see the ridiculous things they're lifting and running.

It'd be a far more interesting viewing prospect. On that note, oh, did you see poor Eliza McCartney? No, I didn't. She just failed to, so she didn't qualify for the Olympics. Oh, no. She just happened by injury and stuff, which is real shady. Yeah, Achilles. But, yeah, I saw she was just devastated, obviously, of the news.

Sarah Walker as well, another of our great Olympic athletes, the BMX rider that isn't going to be in Tokyo. This is so gutting for those. Oh, especially because they would have dedicated so many years to training for it and then had a bit of a shaky last 12 or 14 months not knowing if it's on or off. Yeah, yeah. And it would be interesting to see if they were on last year,

whether they would have qualified. Because I know that delaying the Olympics by a year really, really messes up with athletes' training, I think. Your mate was going. You were going to go and see your mate. Yeah, I was going to go. She still is going, if the Olympics still go ahead. What does she do?

She's in the women's eight for rowing. Oh, awesome. Yeah, so very exciting. I won't say who did better out of you two in life. True. The next news story. Painting bought for $4 at thrift store identified as I'm going to say McNamara's.

Didn't he have that thrift shop song? I'm going to say painting bought for $4 at thrift store identified as a painting worth a lot more than $4. Otherwise Juliet probably wouldn't be talking about it now. Oh, you know me too well. Painting bought for $4 at thrift store, identified as David

Bowie original. So, David Bowie, back in his day, he studied painting when he was younger, so he's quite obviously a musical artist, but I didn't realise he was an actual artist. Artist, yeah. And so this was painted by him in 1997, and it's fetched to sell, it's apparently going to be selling

at an auction for about $50,000. From $4? From $4 at a thrift store. Wow. I think the person who gave it to the thrift store or something, it was originally found in a dump. And so, yeah, it made its way to a thrift store, and then... They've somehow verified that it was David Bowie's. Yeah, yeah.

Jeez, that's a remarkable story. Crazy, crazy. And the final news story. Man believed to have the world's largest... passes away in India. I'm going to say the world's largest bowl latte. Something my mum would love. She loves a bowl latte.

Just all milk. Milk flavour. A single shot too. It was slightly coffee flavoured. There's so much milk in there. I'm going to say the man with the world's largest cell phone bill passes away in India unpaid and they're chasing up the fee. Man believed to have the world's largest family,

94 children with 39 wives, passes away in India. 94. Yeah, so he also had 33 grandchildren on top of that. He married his first wife at age 17 and he said he also married 10 women in one year. He liked to have seven or eight of his wives by his side at all times. And the village that his whole family lived in, they lived all together, it became a tourist attraction because people would want to come to this little town

to see this massive family with this man, with all these wives and children and grandchildren. It sounds like a cult. It probably is. Prolific. You know you've got too many wives when you'd struggle to remember the names of them all. Yeah, that's very true. Thank you very much, Stu. Wonderful news and beeps.

Oh, sorry, you go. No, no, no. I've made it awkward. I started stumbling over you. You were going somewhere. What did you want to say? I was just saying I'm sorry, you go. No, no, no, I've made it awkward. I started stumbling over you. You were going somewhere. What did you want to say? I was just saying I'm still processing. I'm still processing.

It's Monday morning. Yeah, you sound 75% asleep. I should be more awake because I've just finished a 45-minute workout. Oh, okay. Oh, sorry. I'm sorry. Maybe you're just exhausted. Where are you heading today, Jen?

I'm off. I'm actually just exhausted. Where are you heading today, Jen? I'm off. I'm actually doing my second day at work today. I started a new job on Friday, which is a weird day to start a job. What do you do? I'm a primary school teacher. Oh, congratulations. Yeah, thank you.

Well, you've got an important job to get to. But in the meantime, we'll put you in the draw for this Live Free competition off to Adelaide. Have you been there before? I haven't been.

You could do a lot with $5,000 there there'd be anything. 20 minutes you're done? Is that what it is? You're in an hour and 20 I've seen Adelaide. No, it's got some wonderful things as we said before like beautiful wines at the Murray River, the iconic, yeah. You know how long it'll take you to get there? So that's the thing, it's basically everything's so much later.

20 minutes to get anywhere. So it's not always so easy to get around. That's right. Jen, you could be getting around Adelaide, okay? That would be wonderful. Thank you, guys.

So you don't have to do a thing other than text TRAVEL to 4487. Tell you what, if you don't like hearing about your favourite celebrity screwing up, shrouded in a sea of watery opinion, then I suggest you turn your radio down for this next part. Juliet, what's happening in Spy? So the movie Matilda, the very famous movie Matilda, we all love it, such a classic. Now Danny DeVito, he obviously played Matilda's father

and he was also the director of the film. He revealed a really gross secret behind the scene. You know when that character, Bruce Bogtrotter, is sitting in the school assembly eating the cake? And Mrs. what's her name? Mrs. Trunchbull. And makes him eat all the cake. And they're like, you can do it, Bruce.

And they end up supporting him, and he does. He's a little chubby battler that could. They're like, come on, Bruce, you can do it. And everyone's like, this is not fair. Come on, Bruce. I know. So in the filming of that scene, apparently they filmed that scene so many times,

like the rest of the cast would go home and Bruce Bogtrotter and Miss Trunchbull would stick around and continue filming that scene just to get it right. But he did say that what would happen is Bruce Bogtrotter would stuff his face with this cake and then Danny DeVito would cut filming, he would stop filming

but then he would make Bruce spit it out into a different bowl so that he wouldn't have to swallow it. Oh, that makes sense. Because otherwise he literally would have exploded and literally just become way too full for his own good. And so that was the tactic that they had to do because it was a massive cake. Like that was legitimately the size of the cake. They had to bake multiple cakes for multiple scenes.

Poor old Bruce Bogtrotter. Have your cake and eat it too, Bruce. There was a weird rumour at the school back in the day because there was that Cadbury Cream Egg ad. It was an iconic one. Oh, the disc? The disc, and she's sneaking, this little girl's sneaking these little Cadbury Cream Eggs on the disc.

There was a rumour going around, the girl hated the chocolate, and she spat it out in between takes. I don't know why that was a rumour at the school. That's so random. I heard she didn't like the Cream Eggs. She didn't like Cream Eggs. That's so random. I heard she didn't like the creamy. She didn't like Cream X. How did she get the job if she didn't like the Cream X? Everyone loves Cream X.

It was a joke at the school. I was just thinking of that. It was like, oh, she had to spit it out between takes. Such a great actor because she looked like she was loving it. Such a silly rumour too. What's the point in that? Hey, well, Juliet, thank you so much for that wonderful news from 1996. Hey, it resurfaced on TikTok and I thought it was really interesting,

so I thought I'd feature in Spy. Typical news. That movie was released on the 28th of July, 1996. And I talked about an ad from like that. Hey, okay, well, shall we go for some more current news? A new film, The Titanic, is going to be released soon. You can't wait to that. After 7 o'clock on the show,

you may have missed this, in the actual news of today, Clark Gayford and Jacinda Ardern, their daughter Neve's having a birthday, and the amazing cake that Clark has baked for Neve, we'll tell you about that after 7. Broadcasting live, and mostly awake. Jono and Ben,

New Zealand's breakfast. On the hits. Kevin, on your Monday morning, and producer Juliet, you haven't got your phone with you today, and it's causing you a bit of anxiety. I left it in my car in the car park. I mean, it's only five minutes down the road.

Oh, you're very vulnerable right now, aren't you? It feels so weird. The amount of times I've gone to pick up my phone, but it's not there. It's actually really concerning. Yeah, so I get the same feeling when I forget my heart pills. Leave those at home, Juliet. It's the same thing.

A millennial without a phone, very dangerous situation to be in. I know. How are you checking Instagram? Well, I am going on the Instagram on the web. Oh, you're fucking old school. We took the laptop away from you now. Oh, I would be so bored. Mate, can I take you back to January when you went on some weird wellness retreat?

No, you didn't. What was it? You went bush. It was called Outward Bound. Outward Bound, that's right. You kept me in your life. I didn't need my phone. Oh, it's nature.

I went to the bathroom in a bucket. That's right. You went to the bathroom. You peed in a bucket. I know. I know. And you're like, I never need another phone again. I know.

But the good thing about Outward Bound is like you... You get over it. It is our Game of Word Association. We play it every morning at 7.45. You give us a call on 0800THEHITS and we tell you five words and you tell us the first things that pop into your head if your words match with ours, you win five grand.

We can't guarantee the Olympics are going to be on this year. They keep saying they're going to be, but this is one event that New Zealanders will win at. Oh, yeah, true. Five words. It could be you this morning in Tokaroa. Sam, welcome. How are you going? Good, good.

Good, thank you. What we always ask when we head to Tokaroa, how is the statue of the man holding the chainsaw? No, paparoa. Paparoa. Oh, you're in Paparoa. Sorry, I had Tokaroa. Sorry about that. Paparoa. Well, lovely to have you on from Paparoa. Anyway, how are you, Sam? Good, thank you. Great to have you on. Now, listen, a lot of tension in here. More tension than an overcrowded trampoline right now because we don't know who you're going to send into the soundproof booth. Okay, Ben. Oh, Ben. Okay. Yeah, he's a good option.

As he heads into the soundproof... Have we bought that booth? Or do we pay a weekly rental cost for that booth, Producer Humphrey? We've purchased this booth. What are we going to do with that booth when this thing finishes, Julie? I don't think this thing will ever finish, to be honest. I reckon you've just moved into a new flat, but that could be your new new flat,

Julie. That could be really good. 900 bucks a week rent for that bad boy. Okay, Sam, let's get your five words matching with Ben, shall we? Okay. Alright, good luck. Thank you. The first word that goes into, comes into Sam's head when I

say choir. Men's choir? I say choir means choir means choir singing choir okay singing choir singing okay singing yep singing is a great option it's the option that popped into my big bald head word number two, mile. Mile. Like mile, mile, mile. Distance. That's good. Word number three, spice. Hurry.

Hurry. No. Food. Not hot. Not hurt. Food? What's hot? Not food. Can I come back to that? Yeah, you can come back to that. You're doing a really good job of just whatever's coming in your head,

just saying it out of your mouth. It is good because we're getting your thought process. Word number four, cream. Cream. Cream. What's cream. Whipped cream? Whipped. And the fifth word was world.

World. Jeez, world. World, world, world. Champion? Oh, yeah. Champion. That actually makes a lot of sense. I did not think of champion. Yeah, no, world. Champion? Oh, yeah. Champion. That actually makes a lot of sense. I did not think of champion.

Yeah, no, world champion's good. Now, we'll turn the heat back up on spice, word number three. You wanted to come back to this one. What's those things called? Peppers? Peppers. Peppers? Peppers? Oh, I know those.

Chili. Sorry. Chili. Chili. Some spiced chili. Nice. Yes. You got there well.

This has been a... What a journey. I know. And some great commentary, too, from Sam as well in Paparoa, too. She was... You did that beautifully. Now, you didn't even need me talking nonsense along. We'll get Ben out of the soundproof booth,

see if he can match up with your five words. Okay. And as he emerges a little dusty, a little confused. Why do you look confused? Sorry. What went on in there? There's quite a lot.

I think it's also a storage cupboard now. There's a lot of stuff in there. We are slowly sort of just putting stuff in there. You can't, you can't actually put your storage cupboard now. There's a lot of stuff in there. We are slowly sort of just putting stuff in there. You can't actually put your feet anywhere now. I guess it's a nice handy cupboard to have. We'll get you $5,000

shall we Sam? Alright, let's see if Ben's words match up with yours. $1,000 per word. That's a great payday, isn't it? Per word. More than Oprah Winfrey gets paid to say words. We're not paying out $1,000 per word, unless we get all five, though, right?

Correct. Thank you for that stipulation. We must remind you, too, of the careless whisper, Sam. If you do whisper an answer, you'll hear this. And we'll get our security guards, who will escort you from the premises. Okay. All right, let's get into it. Word number one, Ben, are you ready?

Yes. Choir. Singing. How's Paparoa feeling about this, Sam? Oh, he's really, yeah, he's really making me nervous, actually. Mile was word number two. Sorry? Mile.

Oh, mile. Kilometre? No. Oh, mile. Kilometre? No. That's okay. Oh, sorry. It's all good. Don't you worry. She's saying it's all good, don't you worry, but she actually means you should worry. You've let her down.

Word number three was actually distance. Oh, distance is good. Word number three was spice. Girls. Spice girls. Chili was what Sam went for. Cream, distance is good. Word number three was spice. Girls. Spice girls. Chili was what Sam went for. Cream was the fourth word. Whipped. Oh, whipped.

Hey, thank you. Well done. And world. Record. Oh, record. There's a lot for world. Yeah, it's world champion. Thank you, Sam.

Thank you, guys. Hey. Thank you, Sam. You're so polite. What a wonderful listener. Really do appreciate you. Awesome. Thank you, guys. You have a good one. You too.

Spy's next, Ju. What's coming up, mate? So a bit of a situation has happened to Russell Brand. I'll fill you guys in on what has happened. It's quite sad, but I'll tell you next. Spy. No, what's up? Spy.co.nz. Julie has spent the whole weekend moving into a new flat and miraculously has already lost the bond.

I don't know how, but I tell you what she'll never lose is her passion for celebrity news. What's happening, Jew? So, English comedian Russell Brand, he was married to Katy Perry for a time there, known for, he's also very, he's kind of like a philosopher nowadays, but he was known for his comedy. If there's a cult that don't want me, I want to know why.

Very distinctive voice there, Russell Brand. Yeah, yeah, totally. Now, he has a German Shepherd, and it's a beautiful-looking German Shepherd. It's a brown one. I've never seen a brown one before. But he was on a walk with his dog, and there are wallaby in a little town called Oxford Shire in England and there are wallabies that are around the place. And the dog suddenly ran after this wallaby and

attacked this wallaby and Russell was like, oh God, like, you know, as anyone you're like, how do I even deal with this situation? Realised that the wallaby had a little baby joey in its pouch. And so Russell went and just tried to get his dog off this wallaby, saved the joey. Sadly, the mother wallaby passed away from the dog. So now he's got a little baby kangaroo. Well, I don't know what he did with the baby kangaroo, but he's devastated that his dog has caused this death of this wallaby. Oh, you've had some incidents with your dog out,

not biting or killing things, Ben, but when you take your dogs for walks, don't you, Bo? Yeah. It happens. He's dragged you into a swampy marsh. He's fallen off a boardwalk before. Jesus, prolific humping. Oh, my God. Just anything.

His humping days are behind him, though, yeah. That's good. Are they? Yeah, well, as far as I know. Are your humping days are behind him, though, yeah. That's good. Are they? Yeah, well, as far as I know. Are your humping days even behind you? Well, I just sent him to doggy daycare, so I don't know what goes on there. His humping glasses, you're getting great marks. So that's very sad.

I think he's trying to figure out, you know, how you deal with it. Because I think his dog was naturally quite well behaved, and most dogs are. Yeah, they do. But I guess, you know, they're primal, aren't they? They're instincts at the end of the day. I know Joe Biden's dog. Was it Champ or Major?

Champ. Champ passed away. A kind of older dog, so they had him for many years. German Shepard as well. Yeah, German Shepard, yeah. Very sad. Very sad.

He got great names for his dogs. Champ, Major. He wouldn't get any more American. I know. Like Shooter. Yeah. And then Barack Obama's dog any more American. I know. Like, shooter. And then Barack Obama's dog was called Bo. That's quite a... Actually, same.

Same as mine. Same as yours. Very cute. And Cristiano Ronaldo, the football player, is the first person to reach 300 million followers on Instagram. Now, I would like to just flag that the Instagram account itself on Instagram does have 398 million followers.

Well, they can manipulate those stats, can't they? That's very true. That is very true. But apart from the Instagram account on Instagram, Cristiano Ronaldo is that first person. That's fascinating, though, because you think of all the celebrities in the world. You've got your Kardashians,

you've got people like The Rock, Justin Bieber. Cristiano Ronaldo is the most popular on Instagram. And he probably isn't what you would classify as an influencer or someone that plugs his stuff on Instagram. He plugs water on the press conference. He's getting that message out. He's certainly not plugging Coca-Cola on his Instagram. True, true.

Okay, so he's essentially number two behind Instagram, but the number one person. Let's try and, I've got the list here of the top ten. Try and figure out the top five. All right, so there's got to be a Kardashian in there. She's seven, Kim.

Oh, really? Kylie's five. Okay. Can I say Selena Gomez? She's number six. Oh, yeah. The Rock? Where's The Rock?

Three. He's just behind Cristiano Ronaldo. And who's at number four? Ariana Grande. Oh, there you go. She's got $232 million. Wow.

Lionel Messi, the footballer, at number eight. And the Hits Breakfast, is that on the top ten? Eleven, just slipping out of the top ten. We'll get our figures up and hopefully make next year's list. Oh, good. Geez, our one's bleak, isn't it? It is bleak. Hey, believe in yourselves.

Of course it's not bleak. It's just the stats are very bleak. We're not making any top ten lists. Go follow us right now, the Hits Breakfast, on Instagram, Facebook. Cheeky plug. We're making the top ten least followed pages on Instagram. Love it. And then it's five and we get to the Hits.

Don't go to NZ. Ben on the Hits. It is the Hits. You've just gone eight o'clock. You're with Jono and Ben on your Monday morning. Now, during lockdown, everyone was panic buying toilet paper. Well, now people are panic buying utes. I see it over the weekend.

Because there's a new law. You can't wipe your bottom with a ute, though, Ben. No, but there's a lot of laws that will be coming in to do with encouraging people to get electric vehicles. So it seemed like at field days, a lot of people bought more utes than ever before. Head of Isuzu is like, oh, I couldn't have more demand for utes. Because what's going to be like $3,000 on top of the cost of the vehicle is going to be essentially the fine for not buying an EV vehicle. An EV vehicle?

Did I just do the thing you hate? The ASB bank bank? A new sales rep for utes had a boom a month. So what aren't you, Jacinda Ardern, for all the commissions you got on all the utes? Imagine if she was. Every Hilux I get 5%. Imagine if that was the play. That would be pretty incredible.

Add these two men together and somehow you get three quarters worth of a normal man. The Hits with Jono and Ben for breakfast. Now there's a card being handed around the office on Friday. Someone was leaving. You know, you always get a giant novelty card, don't you, when someone leaves. You're obliged to. It needs to have some sort of witty caption like, don't let the door hit you on the

you know, or something. In the context of them leaving, yeah. Otherwise it's not as witty. But I noticed that people who sign the card, because you know, you're relying on 30 others to sign and write their little message to the person as well. Some people take up

more real estate on the card than others. You know, and this card had barely been signed, but the first signature and message was planted smack bang in the middle of the card across both of the sides of the card and taking up a large space there. It's a hard balancing act because you don't know how many people are going to be signing the card. And you don't want it to look empty. Yeah,

because if it's empty, like if everyone was real small, you're like, oh, hardly anyone signed this card. No, everyone just wrote in tiny.

But then sometimes you get it at the end and you're like, well, I've got no, I can't even write Ben. I'm just trying to squeeze into the corner here.

Yeah. Yeah. What you need is you need a card monitor. Okay. Yeah. So we've got 50 to 60 people signed to the card. You've probably got about this much space.

Yeah, or divide the card up into grids. So everyone's got their little thing. And then I feel a lot of pressure too. If the card has been 70% signed, you're like, oh, there's some good witty little comments here. You know, the acid comes on you to try and, and I always fail miserably. I just go, what he said and point an arrow

up to what I find is the wittiest comment but you know just a message to the card signers out there just be wary of these other signatures to come you know don't come in too early too soon with too much space I think they even drew a picture why do you need a picture

so much hey stick around in the next 15 minutes. We've got a couple of really, really interesting things to get to. We're talking about mental health as well, how you can build up your mental fitness. A really interesting chat with someone who's got a brand new book out. And as well as that, it was a magic trick that we were potentially

part of a few weeks ago. You got to find out over the weekend if it works. It was. Well, I won't give it away. Whether it was a huge disappointment or a huge success. 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. We had magician, comedian, commission. I don't know what the combination of the two is. Jared Fowley came in a few weeks ago and we spoke to him ahead of his shows he was doing over the last month, and he handed an envelope to me during the interview. In an envelope, I've hold up a piece of paper, as you can see.

Yeah. And I've predicted the New Zealand Herald headline for June 19th. So predicting in advance what the headline, one or two of the headlines could possibly be. So I can't open the envelope until the night of the show? No one can. If you do, then we've got to start the whole thing again. So you got to hold on to this envelope for the past couple of weeks,

which really is a trick in itself. No, that's the real magic trick. That's the real miracle. So yeah, but you didn't open this envelope. You wrote on it. We all signed it. Even your kids signed it. And you brought it along on Saturday night to see Jared Fell

and to get him to open it up on stage. Yeah, so he was going to predict, as he said, everything on the front page of the New Zealand Herald that day and also a special prediction for myself as well. And Jared joins us on the phone right now. Welcome back, Jared. Good to have you on. Hey, buddy. Good to see you on. Hey, buddy.

Good to see you guys. Great show. Great show on Saturday night. And firstly, it's the only comedy show where I think everyone ended up crying at the end. Jared proposed to his girlfriend, Amy, at the end of the show. Yeah, let's fix that. Her name's Ash. Ash, sorry.

When you sent the email saying congratulations to Amy, she went, who the hell's Amy? Oh, that's your other wife. Sorry. It was beautiful at the end. Cheers, mate. The whole show was written for that moment. So the entire tour,

she had no idea. The shows that she came to come see, I couldn't do any of the scripting because the whole show as you saw was talking about sobriety um and how you know transform into a man and then be a man at the very end and propose and i'm glad she said yes otherwise it'd been an awkward ending to the show it would have been i don't know what what was your contingency plan if there was a uh can we talk about this magic magic yeah i Magic. Yeah, I was going to go comedy. Smoke, smoke, magic.

Yeah, puff of smoke, you both all goodly disappear. But anyway, this trick, this trick was mind-blowing. So I turned up with the envelope. You had me on stage. I handed the envelope over to you. You pulled out the piece of paper and was holding up the New Zealand Herald of that day at the same time. Yeah.

And line by line, Jared got me to unroll the paper. Yeah. And what he didn't predict that Harvey Norman would have a full page ad on the front of the, he didn't have that in his prediction. No. That's the magic from the sales rep who sold that full page ad, I'll tell you that. So what were some of the things that he predicted?

So, Jared had written on this piece of paper, almost there, which was referring to the Blues playing that night. The headline was Almost There. No way. Wow. He had numbers here, 50, 20, 70 and 0. Was that like Lotto or something?

No, this was due to a housing crisis. Oh, those are numbers on the front. Yep. The America's Cup picture had won or lost written down, which was on there as well. And the final one, which blew my mind, I think we've got audio of it here. This is the last thing he predicted.

The John O'Byrne will wear ripped black jeans. I literally just got these jeans today. I was wearing ripped, he's like, you'll be wearing ripped black jeans, which is probably a safe bet for me since the 90s. Well, not necessarily, though. That's pretty impressive. And predicted that.

I don't even want to know what witchcraft you employed to make that work, Jared, but it was incredible. Yeah, cheers. Well, what you didn't know was earlier that morning I broke into your house. Completely switched. No, it was kind of, well, no, I've been looking at your fashion over the years. I had to go back through everything and everything that we had done in the past. And so it is based on predictions.

Like, you know, things could have gone wrong. Honestly, the reason that you held the entire newspaper up there is because I wasn't quite sure if they were going to be all on one page. So they could have been on the second page, third page, fourth page, but they were going to be predicted. Just looking at the current situation and politics and all that stuff, it's quite easy to predict what is going to happen. Not a proposal, though.

No, you couldn't predict it. I'll tell you what, the second most amazing magic trick was actually getting me to leave my house. Not even Dynamo could do that. Yeah, that's so impressive. That was really impressive, mate. So well done. You've blown my mind.

Awesome. Well, now it's the lottery numbers. I think we should protect. Yeah, why haven't you sorted this out for yourself? Yeah, let's try and do that. We'll talk about that off air. Gerard Fell, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you very much.

Yes, boys. Want more Jono and Ben? You can wake up with the boys' weekdays from sex on The Hits and via the iHeartRadio app. Cheers, boys.
