Jono, Ben & Megan - The Podcast - FULL: What Happens When A Child Calls A Wedding Planner To See If They'll Plan A Wedding For Her Dolls?

Episode Date: August 9, 2021

We got Ben's daughter in again to do another wee prank call... This time, on a wedding planner. Would they take her request seriously and help her plan a wedding for her dolls? We also spoke to a guy from work, Andy, who was paid by Newstalk ZB to sit down and watch ALL the coverage of the Olympics. He had multiple screens going and wasn't allowed to stop watching when it got late. ALL IN THE NAME OF NEWSTALK ZB CONTENT! Finally, Jono lost his work swipe card (again) but found it in the most bizarre location. Enjoy the show!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's Monday the 9th of August, welcome along to the podcast on a Monday morning. How's your week in there, Ben Boyce? Yeah, not too bad yourself. No, it was lovely. What did you get up to? We had dinner with you on Friday, didn't we? Yeah, it was team dinner. I was kind of caught in, there was a bench seat operation there, and I was caught in

the middle. Yeah, it was a circular one too, with only one entry exit point. Yeah, and you're very wary about when you need to go to the lavatory of affecting everyone else's dining. It's like being on a plane at the window seat, isn't it? Yeah. So I ended up clambering over the top of the couch and sort of around the top edge of it, which you know, it would have looked strange in a restaurant setting. Yeah.

But yeah, the other option was just going sort of crotch first over the, you know, sort of stepping in between their legs on the couch. I don't know what they expect to happen though. Does everyone normally get up when someone wants to use the... Well, that's the thing. I didn't want to make everyone get up, especially in the middle of dinner.

It's probably like a 10-person sort of round table bench seat. What do they expect? Does everyone get up and you kind of... Yeah. Is that what happens in that situation? And, you know, the waiter came up and he said to the boss who was paying for it, he's like, so we've got the $75 option, the $65 option, or the $60 option.

And then Nick was like, I want the $60 option. In front of all of us. You said. Oh, we're not worth the more expensive option. To be honest, we didn't need it. It was amazing. It was a lot of food. The $60 option was great.

But you were offended going, oh, we're not worth the. Yeah. It was like that conversation in front of you that you're like oh really they're having this conversation in front of me okay and uh nick the guy was playing you know so can we have this conversation over here and he sort of watched the waiter away from the other side of the table so they were talking in front of everyone and it was sort of got quite whispery him going is there a cheaper option yeah can we go i didn't know it was gonna be yeah can we do a 40 option yeah what if two of us don't actually all like yeah but no know it was going to be so sad. Yeah, could we do a 40 option? Yeah. What if two of us died actually all night? Yeah.

But it was, yeah. It was a great meal. Yeah. And it was more than enough food, wasn't it? Yeah, it was. I do love it when it comes out and everyone can just pick away at it. Don't you like that? It is quite good. Yeah.

But then I never know in that situation how much more is coming. Like, you made the choice moving through. You're like, oh, they brought the greens out quite late in the piece. Too late. But no, that was more to come. That was just the halfway point. I know. Yeah, because I thought. Oh, they have the greens out quite late in the piece. Too late. But no, that was more to come. That was just the halfway point. I know. Yeah, because I thought, oh, they have had a shocker.

But they knew what they were doing. I already had it. We had already had enough food. But then salad comes out. And that sort of signifies, well, this is missed time. Salad would be at the beginning. Yeah, but no, it was more to come. The halfway point.

More to come. And then you just end up eating because, well, you can't leave anything, can you? We're New Zealanders. No, no. So you've just got to keep going. Yeah,'t leave anything, can you? When New Zealanders. No, no. So you've just got to keep going. Yeah, yeah. You're no wastage with New Zealanders. Yeah.

But anyway, it was a lovely meal. It's a, what was I going to say? Oh, about the, yeah, the other thing too with the shared dining too is if someone takes the lead on the ordering, you've really got to back your choices, don't you? I don't like being that person. You've got to be a confident person to kind of order from the table, I think. Yeah. Are you?

No. Or do you just go with the group? I'd probably go with the group, yeah. No, I don't want to be that person. Particularly even like a bottle of wine. That's really, you know, like if you know it's a group situation. That's what you're talking about, you know? Yeah.

Not everyone likes the same things. No, that's right. So if somebody suddenly goes, oh, we're going to get a bottle of $100 champagne, you're like, are we? Are we? I love how he goes Not everyone likes the same things Mainly I don't like paying for $100 champagne You're like, are we?

Are we going to do that? Can we put this to the post? It was like a We'll just get a bottle of that Where are we sitting there? But yeah, it's funny that people that do know tastes. There was a bar that downtown

you walk into and they don't even, you can't order drinks. They just go, what do you like? And you're like, I like a lemon flavour. And then they bring out a drink and they're like, if you don't like this you get your money back. And we make you another drink.

That's right. Imagine how many Kiwis just go, nah, I didn't like it. Just go the whole thing. No, you drank it all. No, I didn't like it. You drink another one, yeah. But that's a skill. Yeah.

To just go, oh, you like the flavor of, you know, capsicums. And they can make an entire drink just based off that. Yeah. It is. Yeah. Hey, well, enjoy the podcast today. Had a fun show this morning. Wrapping up the Olympics.

And we spoke to someone who spent two weeks watching every sport in the Olympics. I know. Incredible. I don't think anyone in probably the world watched more Olympics than this guy. So, yeah, he's on the podcast today. Enjoy.

We've got my daughter back doing a bit of, well, some would say child labour. Others would say be part of a fun prank call Well the good thing is When we came here they're like guys stop the pranks They're too childish But then when we get a child to do the childish pranks It's not really childish anymore

No it's not and it makes us We're one step removed from the pranking It's meant to be a bit of a fun call that we want to make right now And we had an idea that maybe You could be planning A wedding for maybe a bit of a fun call that we want to make right now. And we had an idea that maybe you, so you know, you could be planning a wedding for maybe a couple of dolls in the house. Oh, yeah? What about Barbie and Iron Man? That's great.

But when is the wedding? What about this Saturday? Oh, wow. That is quick. And let's not worry about that right now. Let's just say everything's all good. And let's say we can call a wedding planner. Because you've got to put this together in a couple of days.

Yeah. Should we make a call call a wedding planner because you've got to put this together in a couple of days. Yeah. Should we make a call to a wedding planner? Hello, the health speaking. Hi, do you guys plan weddings? Yes, we do. Okay, good. My name is Sienna and I'm 11 years old and I'm planning a wedding. Okay.

It's for my two dolls. My Barbie doll wants to marry my brother's Iron Man figurine. I mean, sure, I can help you with that. Okay. I'm thinking about a hundred for the guest list made up of mainly LOL dolls, a Furby... Okay. My brother wants all the Avengers to be there. My only concern is Thor gets a bit hammered. Just hang on one second for me. I'm going to put you on speakerphone. Okay, tell me more about your wedding plan. I was thinking for the entree we could do fries and nuggets,

but then I was worried Mr and Mrs Potato Head don't eat chips. Yeah, that would be a bit cannibalistic, eh? Yeah. I was worried Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head don't eat chips. Yeah, that would be a bit cannibalistic. Yeah. I can understand that. Have you got enough space in your bedroom and your kitchen for 100 guests made up of LOL dolls and Avengers? So I was thinking for the wedding band, I'd get like Ed Sheeran. Do you know him? Not personally, but yeah, I know who you're talking about.

And my budget is $5.60 Would that be enough? I think Ed Sheeran might ask for a little bit more than that But I reckon we could do chicken nuggets and fries Would $6 work? Potentially, yep I can just do some extra tools around the house When's the wedding? Sorry, what date is it?

It's Saturday. This Saturday? Yes. Will you do me the honour and be my bridesmaid? For Barbie? Okay. Sure. I mean, we've never met, but yeah, okay.

Juliet looks like she was chewed up and spat out by a drum and bass gig. I was. I was. That's right. Yeah, you attended one of those at the weekend. I'm tired. Is that regrettable on a Monday morning now? Yes.

Probably not at the time regrettable, but now. Oh, it was a lot of fun at the time. How'm tired. Is that regrettable on a Monday morning now? Yes. Probably not at the time regrettable, but now. Oh, it was a lot of fun at the time. How was 11.30 p.m. Saturday night, Juliet? Not thinking about Monday morning, Juliet, no. It was, I wasn't even, you know, work wasn't even, it wasn't even the back of my brain. I didn't even know where my brain was. But it was fun, though?

Yes, it was. It was good. It was a good reminder that I shouldn't do this all the time. I know. You've got to do it every day. day yeah you'll come right by wednesday we uh we got to be on uh newstalk zb over the weekend didn't we yeah well you're out there drumming basing the pendulum mate we're trying to hold some decorum to this brand all right you can go do whatever you do on a Saturday night we'll be on newstalk zb

we're invited a lot. They have a weekend panel on the weekend collective show with the two Tims, the Maroxbats and Breverage. And one of my favourite moments was when we went in. Because you just end up talking because there's no songs. So you just talk. You think you do a lot of talking here, but at least we can play a pink song every four minutes.

Not on there. You've just got to keep talking. Three quarters of the way through the conversation, I'm like, we're we're still talking i know that's the thing and i don't even know what i've said five minutes ago but what happens is they've got a producer like yourself uh who keeps track of when you need to go to an air break because obviously there's no song so you just go to an air break and so they just start playing a song underneath you uh when it's time to go to their break. Kind of like the Oscars to sort of wrap you up. But beautiful comic timing in the weekend.

Jono went to talk and as soon as he started talking, it was like they wrapped you up instantly. I loved it. Have a listen. Remember we had that outbreak, was it last year or the year before? This year, hardly anything. I mean, in all of the states, you've got a handful of measles cases. Why?

Because there's a vaccine. Did you feel any effects after being, oh, I'm getting wound up here. I got the chills. Shut the bald one up. Brutal. But thank God, because I had nothing to say. I'd already been talking

for 20 minutes. I was thinking that maybe we could do that today. That every time you go to talk, now you go to talk now. Okay. But that's it. We can just grab you go to talk now. Okay. I'll be singing la la la la la la la la la la. But that's it. We can just grab you and stop the music. It's a permanent reminder.

I'll be singing la la la la la la la la la la. Stop the music. Yeah, what's that? I have nothing that I want to do. I'll be singing la la la la la la la la. I see what's happening here. That's a good little guy, mate. Every time you go to talk.

Well, coming up very soon. I do like it. Is that sorry? I was just going to... It's the game. It's just going to keep on giving their wonders. Hard-hitting interviews and informed opinion. Mike Hosking on Newstalk ZB.

In the meantime, here's Jono and Ben. The hits. Great fun hanging out with you Jono and Ben. The Heads. Great fun hanging out with you guys this morning, as I said before. But it's a bit of a shame the Olympics is all over. Why do you have to keep saying it then, mate? Are you self-conscious that they don't think we're having fun hanging out with them? No, I'm not that desperate friend at a party. I'm having so much fun.

Yeah, no, I guess it's all right. No, I am. I'm having so much fun. Is your theory to trick them into thinking they're having fun as well? Yeah, that's my theory. But then I said it before, so I don't want to come on too keen. He's like, all right, mate, relax. Once a show's enough to say that, but twice I just said it before. It's like, stop saying how much fun you're having.

Back to back. We're not having that much fun. We're getting ready for work and doing stuff. It's a Monday morning, mate. Anyway, what were you rambling on about, fun guy? The Olympics. The Olympics. It's kind of sad that it's all

over and done with. It's great though that the Paralympics is happening and we've got to wait two weeks time for that though. So that's it. It seems like

we're wondering why the gap between both. I guess they've got to get the current athletes out of the village. Maybe get a bit of deep clean get the old dead old wipes out wouldn't they?

Yeah. But I don't know if that's a two week process but hey I'm sure they've thought about this. There's a whole committee I think they're called the Olympic Committee, who probably deal with

all these things. Now, New Zealand, it was our most successful ever Olympics, 20 medals, and we kept saying this, and I think we've got this all day around, but we didn't need to resort to the per capita. You know, when we like to go population-wise, we've done so well, but then one news last night, I mean, you went there. There we are

at number 12 but another way of looking at it per capita taking our population into account we'd be fourth in the world rankings yeah didn't need to unnecessary we were doing fine lisa carrington herself was 23 overall she bet 133 countries if she was her own country, Lisa Carrington. She's got so much gold, she could melt her gold down and sell it to Jeff at Jeff's Gold Emporium, the one opposite the casino, that legitimate-looking gold house, and get her another 12 hours on the pokies. Do you have one favourite event that you like watching? Because we ended up watching quite a lot of them.

I had it on pretty much every evening, and so that's what we want to find right now on 0800 THE HITS or 4487. Did you think you watched more Olympic sports than anyone else? Did you have one event that you were like, wow, I love this sport? There are probably multiple ones. The ones I was most impressed with that I knew nothing about was speed wall climbing. Oh, that was amazing, eh? They were like Spider-Men or Spider-Woman. Thank you.

It's 2021. Spider-Man can be a woman. Yeah. And they would just shoot up like about three seconds up 20 metres of wall. men or spider woman thank you it's 2021 yeah spider man could be a woman yeah and uh they would just shoot up like about three seconds up 20 meters of wall yeah rock climbing essentially my goodness and then i watched one lady from argentina who would swing like about five meters from one end of the wall to the other and grab on to the rock with one hand like her two fingers i was like wow that was. What impressed you the most?

I liked, one of my favourite events was the steeplechase, where they had the inconvenient, so they run around the track and then they have slightly bigger hurdles, and for some reason, like some sort of water feature. The water feature's just a puddle. They run through it. I was like, what for? I don't know.

Now I've got wet feet. But nothing is more inconvenient than wet shoes and socks, so I was like, maybe that's it. You're like, I've got to dry these out later. inconvenient than wet shoes and socks So I was like maybe that's it I've got to dry these out later So maybe that's the inconvenience of that sport You're right, that puddle is like why? It's not even worth having some poor person Dig a hole in the track

So it forms a puddle The athletes are like you know we can run around this There is ways around this And what happens when it's raining? It just becomes a permanent water feature That was one of my favourites for that reason. And Julie, what was the sport that stood out to you? Diving. I loved watching the diving. The synchronised

diving. Especially when there were two of them jumping together. Did you see the 10 metre one the other day too? Yes. Off the platform they're doing flips and stuff. Unreal. I did see this meme on Facebook. Me, 20 seconds into watching the Olympic diving for the first time ever. Crap dive. That's so true. That was me. We all become experts.

Oh, the splash. She's one of the invasive sport divers. Oh, yeah. I mean, crotch cam running at an all-time high on that. I know. Slow-mos, unnecessary slow-mos, and then a shower afterwards for some reason. To fill them showering?

Yeah. What is with the showering? I don't know. I don't know if anyone knows why they, is it the chlorine? Chlorine, maybe. Unusual, because they go back anyway.

So, oh, Andrew, that's four, four, eight, seven. Do you reckon you watch more Olympic games than us?

We'd love to hear from you next. It is the hits. You got John on Ben. It's Benny, super lonely. You're on the hits. John on Ben, the Olympics in Tokyo 2020 finished last night. And we want to find right now on, oh Lonely, you're on The Hits. Jono and Ben, the Olympics in Tokyo 2020 finished last night

and we want to find right now on 0800 The Hits the person who watched the most of it in New Zealand. Yeah, this is the competition. We're all sad it's ending because now we've all got to find something else apart from Lisa Carrington to talk about to complete strangers. Now, someone's texted in, Sid, 4487. My sister, I think, would probably be the New Zealander

who watched the most Olympics. She installed Sky Television, especially for the Games, stayed at home the entire week, and watched the Olympics. It would be a wonderful time. I don't know why I had that dramatic pause. Yeah, you did. Yeah, sorry. Because you looked at me like, have you got more to say?

And then I just stopped abruptly. So sorry. She quit her job and she didn't know. She just said. She's done. She's now cancelled her sky subscription. Poor Sky. They'll be like, can we keep the Olympics going for another four years? But you watched other sports you don't normally watch.

We've got plenty of that. Yeah, nah. Nah, you're done now, mate. We'll see you in 2024. Catch up in Paris. But wonderful time to be in MIQ wouldn't it be? Through the Olympic period If you had two weeks that would be the ideal time to be in MIQ

Because you'd be like there's so much Olympic sport on TV That's right now Andy who's actually from work He works here Ben you'd be familiar with work Oh you work that's where I go every day This is the building you're in right now Andy works for Newstalk ZB

Welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast, Andy. How are you? I'm very well. Very, very tired. I'm sort of on a bit of a hangover, but more or less a caffeine and Olympic hangover, to be honest. So we're after the Kiwi who watched the most amount of Olympics. And hands down, I think it's going to be you, because

someone's told us how much you actually watch, but what was your regime over the last two weeks? My regime, pretty much 11am to 2am the following morning, every day, watching just sport. Shush! So this is for work, obviously, up at Newstalk ZB. So you have, like, how many TVs, how many platforms were you running at once?

Well, about four or five televisions all going at once while still trying to keep track of anything else that I couldn't actually there's about 12 Olympic channels so it was actually quite hard, even with that many screens to actually keep up to date with everything, so I think I missed a couple of things here and there which I'm still

kicking myself. You must have looked like a maniac with five non-stop screens of Olympics going. Did management not go, hey, should we split this shift up and have two people do this? I think they thought about the notion, but I told them, no, no, just give me all the sport. I want to dive headfirst

into it, which now looking back on it, I'm a bit of an idiot for doing that. Oh, but no one else could say they did that, and I don't know what life things that you let slip during those two weeks, but I want to know what was your favourite moment and what was the one sport that you were like, oh, that was actually really cool.

I love watching that. Well, my favourite moment's a hard one because so much happened, but really, probably Emma Twiggs, the gold medal that she got following two fourths, that sort of almost redemption story. I probably won an Oscar or something.

But yeah, that's definitely my favourite moment. But skateboarding, I don't know if you even managed to watch any of it, but those guys were probably the coolest-looking Olympians I've ever seen. Yeah, we were talking about them an hour ago, and they were so supportive. It was like just

watching a couple of bras down at the skate bowl on a Saturday morning. So supportive. Wearing the flat caps and everything. It was like, whoa, you guys are professional athletes? I think they were just like, I don't even think they knew the Olympics were on. It definitely didn't look like that.

Someone just wants us to go skating in Japan. Why are they making us put on our weird clothes? Okay, dude. That was so chill and relaxed. But that was the first time skateboarding's been in the Olympics, wasn't it? Yes, correct. And I think they're probably, I hope they're going to keep it, because, God, that was such a great watch.

Mostly with the fashion, for me. Yeah, and so you watched every New Zealander, obviously, win a medal and compete? Yes. My God. Are you like, I don't need Olympics for the rest of my life or you'll be back into it in another four years? Oh, no, I'll tell you what,

I don't know what my hobbies are anymore now that the Olympics are gone. What am I doing with myself? I'm honestly glad I'm still being able to chat Olympics even though everyone's probably already over it. I like how now you're going, what am I doing with my life? But not even when you're in the middle of watching Olympics going, what am I doing with my life?

I'll tell you what, that's probably my real problem actually now that I think about it. That's very impressive. Andy who watched the Olympics, all of the Olympics. Binge watch the Olympics. 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. Very cold Monday morning around the country this morning. Yeah, I was talking to Alumsha, a wonderful security guard here at work. So he does a 12 hour shift, six till

six. So he's about to knock off right now he said this has been the coldest overnight he's done in a long time yeah he's had a little heater i was like well how do you keep warm he's like i've got a tiny little heater that heats up like the front of his shins you know just his legs there's you can see him now looking over he's got very warm shins the rest of his body freezing cold. I know the heater you're talking about. As soon as you walk away from it, you're like, well, I'm no longer warm, but when I sit back there, it's like, oh.

It's working hard, that little heater, too. You know the one you talk, you can either have it on zero, one, two, or three. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Pump it on three, it's going. No one's working more hard than a heater on a Monday morning, that's for sure. Hey, the Olympics, all over and done. It's kind of sad, actually. It wrapped up last night.

I really, really enjoyed this. After so much talk about the Olympics, where it should happen or not, it was actually really, really enjoyable. So we're going to wrap up all the things that you probably saw. Let's be honest. I was going to say, oh, you missed. We're going to play stuff again that you probably know about. Reflect together, though. Reflection, that's right. As well going to say, oh, you missed. We're going to play stuff again that you probably know about. Reflect together, though.

Reflect. Reflection, that's right. As well as $5,000. That's up for grabs. And a brand new twist to OMG I Want One. We'll explain exactly what that is

in about 10 minutes' time. It is the hits. You've got John on bed. Kia ora. I'm Rachel Jackson-Lees and this is The B**** News. This is a wonderful part of the show for those

that like taking the long, painful route to the core of a news story. Juliet, what do we do here, mate? I find some weird headlines and I beep a couple of words out. You guys have to guess what the headlines are. But you often take the, you guys take the quirky route too. Yeah, no, I don't. We actually add the links to the route.

So it's 80% our fault, so I apologise. That's okay. Your first news story. Donald Trump wants supporters to carry a B**** with them everywhere. So it's 80% our fault, so I apologise. That's okay. Your first news story. Donald Trump wants supporters to carry a d*** with them everywhere. I'm going to go, he wants them to carry a small little bottle of orange spray tan just to keep that skin looking nice and orange like his. And I'm going to go, I had the same answer as Ben.

And I am not quick enough to think of anything else on the spot. Donald Trump wants supporters to carry a Trump card with them everywhere. So he sent emails out to his most loyal supporters with four different designs, and they have to vote on their favourite design. People are ripping him out because in one of the designs he spelt official wrong. No-one's double-checked, spell-checked that.

So what's the card for? Well, that's what people are wondering. He hasn't even specified. is it like a coffee loyalty yeah he hasn't specified what it is but you know i'm sure people will just keep it in their wallets and then just whip out i've got a trump card i don't know right here yeah yeah yeah so that's probably how donald donald trump's trying to say oh he spelled official o-e-f-f-i-C-A-L. He forgot the other I there. Well, same the other day, that Donald Trump, because obviously I think he's still not allowed on social media. I think it's still kind of banned.

He was all over Twitter and, you know, that was his main source. But he'd be plugging stuff on social media all the time. So now he sends out emails. Yeah. Like he sends out an email, like your parents, like at the end of the year going, oh, it's been a great year for such and such. We did this year. You know, so he's sending out email like your parents like at the end of the year going oh it's been a great year for such and such

we did this year you know he's sending out email notifications and messages out there he even had one about the US soccer team going oh they would have won if they weren't

so worried about politics and you're like and he sent that out on email yeah on an email yeah it's like when your mum and dad send one at the you'll enjoy this

Grant the neighbour sent me this funny email I know have a read. But anyway, there we go. I'm trying to find out what this card is for. I don't think that's been revealed yet. Yeah, it's just the Trump card.

Great name, though. Yeah, good name. Very, very good name. Fish with... Caught in the US goes viral on social media. I'm going to hand it over to you if you want to go first so I don't steal your answer. I'm going to go fish with no family

caught swimming with another fish with memory loss in Ellen DeGeneres' voice. I don't like that one. In the US and gone viral. It's something about a fish that's gone viral

so I'm just thinking it's got to be a baby shark. Fish with human-like teeth caught in the US goes viral on social media. I saw this. Did you see this? Yes.

Jono, if you haven't seen it, Google it. It's like the fish from the ocean. Just a fish. It's like swallowed dentures from an old person or something. Literally. Literally. So because you don't really see photos. It's got human

teeth. It's called a sheep's head fish and it's called a sheep's head fish because his mouth looks like a sheep's mouth apparently. Or it should be called human's head fish. It's very like, imagine human teeth in a fish. That is exactly what it is. His teeth literally look better than mine. Like I'm not even kidding.

They're great. Definitely done Invisalign this fish. They are running straight. Beautiful teeth. And the final news story. Aussie radio star reveals mum's hilarious... I was saying if it's got anything to do with the radio, I'm going to say it's an IHeartDwayneTheRockJohnson tattoo

It is the hits. You got John Owen, Ben? Scrolling through your feed. Ben Boyce may not be the best newsreader, but

by gosh, he's the skinniest and we love this little bony guy. What's happening? Well, of course, what's happening? The Olympics are all over and done with, which is a bit of a shame. I feel like because I was really, really getting into it. It's like they've ended the series just when I'm getting, which is a bit of a shame, I feel like, because I was really getting into it. It's like they've ended the series just when I'm getting hooked on it. I know, but then if it went on, the novelty would wear off for you.

You know, two weeks is a lovely little, we get a taste for it. They leave on a good moment of like, I could do more. I could do more, granted. Yeah. But it's a good time to pull out. I'll be back again. Leave them wanting more. If you're used to New Zealand, our best ever Olympic Hall with 20 medals.

And last night on the news, you know, this is our best ever hall. We've been saying you don't need to break it down per capita for once because we've done really well. One of our athletes even could have been 22nd on the medal table alone if she was a country. Yeah, I think Lisa Carrington in the end slipped down slightly, but she still beat 133 nations on her own. Wow. In the medal tally. But have a listen to this. Even on One News last night, they had to bring out the old per capita standings.

There we are at number 12. But another way of looking at it, per capita, taking our population into account, we'd be fourth in the world rankings. Yeah, see, we had to go there, didn't we? Yeah. The bigger countries go, oh,

you don't have to do that, guys. You did well. It's not per capita. That's not how the Olympics work. But there's been so many highlights, so many great moments, and someone much more clever than us has put together some of the best bits for you right now. Have a listen. The last 18 months for everyone hasn't been easy. To be standing here now with the flag on my back it's pretty cool

it's been our most successful olympics new zealand history made with a record 20 medals bronze medal going to dylan schmidt from new zealand the performance of his life. Donahue and Osborne are Olympic silver medalists. Hayden Wilde, Olympic bronze medalist. How do those words sound? Far out. To get a silver medal is amazing. I can't stop crying. Pagan rugby. An Olympic gold.

Black gold in Tokyo. Madeline Swig here coming up and wins the gold. New Zealand's most successful Olympian of all time, Lisa Carrington. Oh my word, that looked easy. Half a boat length, brilliant. I just can't believe I've done it. It's something I never thought I could do,

so yeah, it's just super special. From the last Olympics to these Olympics, I've had two humans. These two children really inspire me. And I keep looking up to the stand and keep imagining them there. Congratulations to all our Kiwi Olympians for a historic medal haul. Congratulations to Alistair who made that mixing shapeshifter with chariots of fire. Oh, my God. Watch out, bloody David Gedder.

But yeah, the Olympics, I really will miss the Olympics. It's been awesome to watch. A lot of talk about whether they should have the Olympic Games or not because obviously there's the pandemic going. But it's been actually really awesome to see. All that being said and done, they did a wonderful job of navigating navigating their way through it didn't they yeah you didn't actually i didn't miss the crowd no it was only when they sort of cut to a wide shot you're like oh that looks bleak yeah go back in time you're right especially even like the sevens was one of my favorite moments uh when you're in new

zealand black ferns we won the gold but yeah but, which was great with the games, but you're right. It just looks so, like no one there, you know, which was such a shame because it was such a great moment. But it still didn't stop the emotion from our team afterwards and their wonderful haka. So we still had wonderful moments. It didn't matter about the crowd. That's right.

And Japan can go back to putting those stadiums to, what are they going to do with them? They haven't even been, oh, no one's even sat in those. It wasn't like they put them into good use. It was put into no use. The apartments in the village, they're going to be turned into a whole little sort of suburb. Oh, are they?

6,000 apartments. Of course, the Paralympics, though, are happening in a week or two's time, though, first. So I imagine they'll be using all the facilities for that, which will be awesome. So we get to look forward to that. Yeah, now you have to go back to engaging with your families in the lounge. And you've got nothing to talk to complete strangers about now. We've got some spy entertainment news before 7 o'clock.

What's that, Lynn? Kanye West's listening party. He got up to some weird stuff. I'll fill you in on what happened. Jono's internet wormhole. Uh-oh, not only has he lost his hair, he's also lost himself on the internet again. That's right.

Jono the A-hole lost in another internet hole. And today, the world's most popular foods. I found this. I thought this is going to be boring. But then when they've placed the foods in certain... And there's a surprise in the top five for me. Okay. Would you like to hear the top five most popular foods?

Yeah, I'd personally like to know. Don't go. No, I know what you're going to say. Don't. Shh. He's going to be like, who made the last one? Yeah, don't. Well, don't.

Don't. That's my first question. It's an internet list. Who makes any of these stupid internet lists? It's true. Okay. But I'm like, who gives these people the right to say? Mate, when Polly and Grant were running the airwaves, did Grant Katiama ever go,

Hey, Polly, who made up this list? Did he ever query her lists? He probably did. Polly built it. They were bloody good, though, weren't they? She built her career off lists. And a supportive co-host who never questioned the legitimacy of the lists. All right, so the most popular foods.

At number five. Yes. That kid in the El Paso taco commercials will be happy with this because tacos at number five. Oh, yeah. Very popular. Very popular. Do love a taco.

Yeah. Don't you? Yeah. I can't help but feel that old El Paso have really sort of been fast and loose with their creativity when it comes to tacos. They're like, taco pockets, taco shirts, you know. The bottom ones. Yeah, I mean, they're great.

But I wonder what they think of this over in Mexico. They've really diversified their portfolio, you know. Okay, number four. Ramen. Oh, yeah. The soup. Now, this was the surprise for me. Oh, that's very good, though.

I've never had a ramen. No, it's very good. What is it? That's definitely not a surprise for me. That's very good, though. I've never had a ramen. No, it's very good. What is it? That's definitely not a surprise for me. Where's fish and chips on this list? That's not a surprise for me at all. But a surprise that, yeah, okay. It looks, the photo of it looks delicious.

I've heard of it. My bogan food palette. Okay, at number three, your humble burger. Yeah, yum. Yeah, that's a good placing. Spread some mayo on me and slap some buns on either side. You never have a bad burger, can you? No, they're pretty good, aren't they?

Unless they don't cook their chicken properly. Yeah. And then you feel the repercussions of that. At number two, and this is no surprise, the top five most popular foods, sushi. Oh, yeah. Oh, very good. You're a big fan.

Yeah, I love sushi. Don't you? St. Pierre's. You're going to love our sushi. food sushi oh yeah oh very good you're a big fan i love sushi don't you yeah saint p.s and the number one most popular food sorry you're still awkwardly fade out there i'm sorry i was pretending i'm not here she just keeps going you can do it as background music. This is my tired state. I'm sorry. That's okay. Hey, it's all right. And the number one food, and I imagine it's thanks to just the consumption of this food, over 350 slices of this are eaten every second in America. It's pizza

at number one. There we go. You sound underwhelmed. There we go. Well, my original question I wasn't allowed to ask still remains as a question to go, who came up with this list? And then maybe I'd be more wowed by it was done on research. But you wouldn't answer that for me. So now I'm just like, oh, whose list is this? Greg's list of food from around the world

like a guy called greg hey do you know how much blood sweat and tears i put into these lessons to have a oh there we go that is the outcome sorry what would uh what a polygraph what would they have done it goes they'd say you know lotto's coming up this wednesday or something do something this is something good yeah sorry that's why we'll never be as good as them but that's right He'd say, you know, Lotto's coming up this Wednesday. Do something. Something good. Yeah, sorry. That's why we'll never be as good as them. That's right.

You got Jono and Ben. Jono and Ben. The hits. Now we've got some spy entertainment news on the way. What's happening? Yeah, Kanye West. So he's been doing these listening parties for his new album. And I was looking into actually what goes on in them. And it's really bizarre.

Like Kanye West would be the only person that would do something like this. Does he just play the, well, I suppose we'll find out more about this in spy. Now's really bizarre like kanye west would be the only person that would do something like this does he what does he just play the uh well i suppose we'll find out more about this in spite now it's not the time you're back off oh one question but maybe we won't answer it now okay am i allowed one question uh well now i want to make it a good one well you felt like you had a question yeah no but i don't know if that's not a good question well now that you've given me one question there's a lot of emphasis you know all this is given me one question, there's a lot of emphasis. You like to see? Oh, this is a question. Yeah, but now there's a lot of too much emphasis on that question. Yeah, yeah, yeah, fair.

Is he still living in the stadium? Oh, okay, without answer? Okay. Because he was living in a stadium in Atlanta. Good question. We'll find out if he's living in a stadium very shortly. Yes, Ben said I asked a good question. See you, I'll jump on Ben.

Spy, know what's up, spy.co.nz. She's had a busy weekend rifling through the eye clouds of some of the world's most famous people to bring you this update, what's been happening in the world of celebrity, Jude? So Kanye West has been doing some listening parties at Mercedes Benz Stadium, Stadium in the States

for his upcoming album Donda Now, yes he has moved into the stadium and he's still living there in a little sort of looks like a modern jail cell. Yeah, it's not very flash. You think, you know, if Kanye West was living in a stadium, you'd think that would make it really, really beautiful.

You know, amazing for him. Even like any park glamping, I'd make it like that. But it's just a bed, a single bed in a sort of real stark sort of room. Like a brick room. Like a jail. Yeah, literally. Imagine a jail, it pretty much looks like that. And they've got a swapper crate next to his bed with a jail. Yeah, literally. Imagine a jail. It pretty much looks like that.

And they've got a swapper crate next to his bed with a bottle of water on it. Yeah, like that's it. And that's how he's living there at the moment. Yeah. Which it sort of feels like, you know, when you're like, hey, here's your spare room. Here's where you're staying. That's kind of it. Imagine that.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. A very good comparison. So he did another listening party where basically fans show up and he basically performs in the middle of the stadium and the review on his most recent listening

on his most recent listening party, he spent the show with his mattress, his bed from the Mercedes stadium in the middle of the stage. He had some weights, he was doing push-ups, he was in almost like a full body morph suit, like a full black one.

Is he still wearing the all red? No, he's changed. So he's just wearing an all black outfit. His face is like in a balaclava, it almost looks like. Does push-ups, dancing around to his music. In one song, he even took a nap on the mattress. He even took some phone calls in the middle of the concert. It was live streamed all on Apple Music

and people just sat there and watched him sort of perform, sort of play the music. A very bizarre experience. Kim Kardashian went, which was lovely. He's very good at promotion, though, isn't he? He's bloody genius. He's a genius. Look at this.

We all know about the album. We probably won't, being the hits, we probably won't play too many of the songs. But we're all talking about the album. Yeah, I know. The crazy stuff. And so, is he going to continue to live in this? It's a nice stadium. We've looked at it online, the Mercedes

Stadium in Atlanta. But is he living there until he's finished all of these listening parties? I would say so. I would doubt that he is going to stay after the release of the album. It's probably just for publicity and everything like that. But yeah, very interesting. He even levitated. He had a big suspended up in the middle of the album. It's probably just for publicity and everything like that. But yeah, very interesting.

He even levitated. He was suspended up in the middle of the year, but that's kind of Kanye's thing. And we have talked about the celebrities who don't really bathe their children. And so Jake Gyllenhaal, the actor, he says he finds bathing to be less necessary. So he's another actor that doesn't really shower much. What, Gyllenhaal himself doesn't bathe?

Yeah, he doesn't bathe much. He says, your body, you know, naturally gets rid of the odours sometimes. Oh, gosh. But then, to save our souls, Dwayne The Rock Johnson reassures his fans that he showers three times a day. Oh, yeah. Thank you, Dwayne. That's why I love you, mate.

Someone needs to tell Gyllenhaal bathing is necessary. And it has been for many years now. I know, I know. Otherwise, you're that guy that has BO and everyone can smell you from a mile away. How many times

are you bathing a day? It depends how many times if I exercise. But I would say at least twice. Twice a day. I get up in the morning, have a shower,

and then I exercise in the afternoons and then whatever after that. One thing I know about Ben, he is a really quick showerer. Are you? Yeah, I am.

He can be in and out in 90 seconds. I can be. Sometimes I do. He can be in and out in 90 seconds. I can be. Wow, that's impressive. Sometimes I do like to reflect on my life and how bad it's going, but other times I'm like,

oh, let's keep it positive today. Get in, get out. Don't linger. I like staying in there where it just gets so hot that my white skin turns red. Yes, I'm the same. I'm the same.

And that is spy for more. You can head to thehits.co.nz. Keep it positive, Ben. Okay. After seven on the show, five words, $5,000 is back. At 7.45, your chance to win five grand on the hits.

Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me. Feel so holy. Just to be holy, it is the hits. Jono and Ben. Went to the movies last night and my wife, like an absolute monster, filmed me sleeping. Problem is, I go to the movies, you pay $30. And I basically pay $30 to sleep in a comfortable seat. But she's this movie, she's like, listen to how loud this is.

And you were just... That is loud. Shows that you're just falling asleep. I'm just sleeping right through it. But the problem is too now, some movie theatres have got, in the front row, lie down beds. Yeah, I've seen those. Lie down beds. Yeah, you and me.

At the end of your seat, you'll sit down and then sleep. Oh, screw, my son's like, let's go lie on the bed. I'm like, uh-oh. I'm already asleep when he says this. Honestly, it's a ticking time bomb. I'm out, uh-oh. I'm already asleep when he says this. Honestly, it's a ticking time bomb. I'm out within five minutes. It's a good ploy for the movie companies, for the movie theaters, though,

because a lot of people would doze off and be like, well, I didn't see the end of that film. Nothing used to frustrate me more as a kid. My dad would be the same as you. He'd just fall asleep every movie. I was like, why do you keep falling asleep? He's like, stay awake for that. You are that person every time. it doesn't matter it's not even

a movie it's a car trip it's a plane trip it doesn't matter what it is it winds up Ben now whenever he's so travelling when I'm driving too I start falling asleep that's when he gets really worried hey after seven on the show five words five thousand dollars it is back your chance to win five grand it's been a while

since that last winner could be you today on the show. Five words, $5,000. It is back. Your chance to win five grand. It's been a while since that last winner. Could be you today on the hits. New Zealand's breakfast. This is Jono and Ben on the hits. Good morning, New Zealand. Just gone seven o'clock. Jono and Ben, a very, very cold morning right around the country. There's some roads closed around New Zealand because of the cold weather.

State Highway 1 between Rangapoha and Taihapi is shut. Lear, Annie and John yesterday spoke to them in Christchurch. Annie and John Pryor, they played quite a pivotal role in creating me. This, I won't get into too much detail, but I'll tell you what, it was a hell of a night. Candles were lit. Oh, jeez. It's just a gentle caressing of a cheek, and then this happened.

But anyway, they said it was snowing yesterday in Christchurch. They were worried that it was going to be snowing there. So they went back to bed and tried to get out Why am I going out? Anyway, let's just agree it's very cold My nipples are so... They scratched my car this morning That's how cold it is

Hey, next, you found something in a very unusual place And we wanted to know if you were the only one And I'd just gone through the process of getting a replacement one and then it turns up out of nowhere. Lost and found next. Alright, it is the hits. You got John and Ben? Sam Smith, you're on New Zealand's Breakfast. It is the hits. John and Ben?

I had an issue with the swipe cards. You know how you get into the building here at work. They issue you a swipe card, don't you? It do you wear your i notice you don't wear yours around your neck like me like a cool guy with a lanyard no not quite as cool as you guys no but i did i did find that when i had it around uh in one of the lanyards i kept losing it and so now i put it in my wallet so juliet i noticed you're not a neck lanyard wearer i actually i was just thinking about this when you said this to ben i'm not during the show but then once i move to my desk outside and i'm walking around the building a lot yeah yeah yeah actually can get caught on things

too it's become quite the choking hazard i've noticed as well anyway i lost it i lost it and um you sort of it's like when you lose a wallet isn't it you've got to you've got to ride out that time of potentially, you know, I could find it in my search and rescue mission. Yeah, that's the thing in your head. You're like, oh, I could turn up, I could turn up. So you've got to stick with that for a certain period of time before you start getting new driver's licenses,

EFTPOS cards and that sort of thing. And I did that with my wallet as well. The moment that I ordered the cards, the new cards, and they all arrived, I found my wallet again again so now i look like some sort of con artist with two driver's licenses two air force cards two credit cards so but that's the thing i lost this i lost this um swipe card for work and it's a process to get a new one isn't it because you email lovely joe and joe's like have you had a good look around? You again, too. You again, yeah, firstly. Literally.

Firstly, you've only been here for 11 months, you idiot, and you've lost four swipe cards. I like to wear them around my neck. See, even right now, you put it down, it gives me, it's like putting something in. Yeah, I'm swinging it around right now, but thankfully, I found it

last night. Had you already ordered a new one, though? Well, that process has begun. Listen, I don't know. This one's still functioning. So I don't know if Joe's pushed the button on the computer, which sets a new one. But I found it in underneath the dishwasher.

In the dishwasher. Oh, really? In the dishwasher. I don't know how it got in there. Like underneath the dishwasher or In the dishwasher. Oh really? In the dishwasher. I don't know how it got in there. Like underneath the dishwasher or in the actual dishwasher? No. So it's stuck under a piece of, you know how there's sort of like a filter. Yeah. Where your water will go down. It's like a little hook.

So it's stuck underneath there. Oh. As Homer Simpson said, it's always in the last place you look. Which is actually quite good advice but also it is totally obvious. There's too many cards in our life too, which is the problem as well, to just keep track of,

EF postcards, credit cards, loyalty cards, birthday cards, so many cards. We were talking about the ones we got because we've got a TVNZ show coming up very shortly and they issued us cards, me with my name wrong,

but anyway. Ben Joyce. Ben Joyce. And the cards stopped working. The show hasn't even played. We're still working on the show, but it's like, no, it should have been done by now. It's a great way of firing people, I think, to away. It is, because you don't, if you're the management, and you're like, oh, I want to get rid of

Joyce, Ben Joyce. Is that his name? I don't know. I think it is. Yeah. Whatever his name. How do we fire Joyce? Oh, that's a bit awkward.

Yeah, it's a bit awkward. We'll start crying again. He's going to cry into the door. Yeah, that'll get weird. How about we just cancel the swipe card? Oh, that's great. You won't be able to come in the building. Yeah, smart. Smart. And so Joyce tries to get it out. And then you see the manager and you're waving through at them and you're like, hey mate, hey mate.

They're just not, they can ignore you. It's a wonderful play. You slowly work out that you've been fired. That's actually, if I was in management, that's how I'd get rid of people. I hate confrontation. Just turn up to work one day, you're like, oh're just not. They can ignore you. It's a wonderful place. You slowly work out that you've been fired. That's actually, if I was in management, that's how I'd get rid of people. I hate confrontation. Just turn up to work one day, you're like, oh, swipe card, I know what that means. Let the person on reception have to deal with that fallout.

So what we want to do is open up this on 0800, the hits this morning. Lost and found. What did you lose? Where did you find it? The more obscure the location, the better. Ben, have you got something you want to chuck in here? Well, I was just going to add, my mother-in-law, she found a wedding ring after more obscure the location the better. Ben have you got something you want to chuck in here? Well I was just going to add my mother-in-law she found a

wedding ring after about 20 years in the garden she had thrown it out she threw it out in a fit of rage didn't she? but it hadn't turned up she'd been many times in that garden you know around doing gardening and just found it 20 years then it made her angry again and she threw it away again

even further. Give us a call right now. The most unusual place. Lost and found. We'd love to hear from you. Oh, under that. So 4487. They're proud of New Zealand. Go New Zealand. If only New Zealand was proud of them. Jono and Ben. New Zealand's breakfast. On the hits.

You had a bit of a weather update pop up on your phone. Oh, was it? You're throwing to me for the weather? Yeah, go on. Alright. Yeah,, well, this is a little notification. Heavy snow for Canterbury and central areas in Auckland and Wellington going to be hit by gales. Jeez. Don't know what we've done to upset Gail, but she is not happy. And Auckland and Wellington will be fearing that later on today. Now, just admitted that I found my swipe card, work swipe card, tucked into the filtration system of the dishwasher.

None of it makes any sense. I don't know how it ended up there. Yeah, well, I often think about, it's unusual places you find stuff. I brought this story up and you always question whether it was true or not. The hotel room in LA where I found a whole lot of weed in the little freezer of the fridge before I left.

But I always think about the thought process of the people that had left all the weed in there. Not me. Go, oh, you know, a whole lot of stoners. They're going, oh, man, where did we leave the weed? Put it in the freezer. Yeah, but, you know, being stoned and hiding something is not a great place to,

it's not a great frame of mind to remember where you put it. Yeah, exactly. Anyway, Ben to this day claims it wasn't his. It wasn't. It wasn't. It was cleaning out a hotel room after staying there a couple of days and we found some marijuana in the fridge. All right, thanks, Bob Marley.

Jessie, you're on from Taranaki. How are you? Yeah. Good to have you on. Do you believe Ben's weed story, firstly? Yeah, I think, well, I've never done it, but I think normally most people stick it in there. Well, I've heard of it.

What, in the freezer? Yeah. Oh, right, Jessie. You're speaking for a friend of yours, are you, Jessie? Yeah, a distant acquaintance. Acquaintance. Okay, we're doing lost and found this morning. What did you lose?

Where did you find it? My car keys, my work keys, and my health keys. It was my only car key, and I was stressing out the bit. I found it in the recipe book that I'd used probably, I found it three months later in a recipe book. Oh, right! Same recipe book where you bake your cookies, is it? Oh, hey!

Why were they in the recipe book? Well, I was making a chocolate cake and a ginger crunch at the same time so I'd use my keys as a divider in it. Oh, the page separator. Two great baked goods as well, chocolate cake, ginger crunch. Can't go wrong with a ginger crunch. Jessie, so how long until you did find them?

Three months. So you got new ones cut? I clear-voiced everything. Oh, you tried clear-voiced? Yeah. Oh, really? And were they helpful at all? No.

You know you're desperate when you go to a clairvoyant to find your keys. All they said is it's nearby, you'll find it. Well, you did. They were right. You were right. The recipe books were kept right above me on the seat just above me.

So I was nearby. How were you driving in this three-month period? I had to get the AA in and cut a key through the insurance, which was free, which was good. Oh, well, thank you very much, Jessie. Really appreciate your call this morning. You have a great week. Awesome. Thank you.

All right, we'll go to Claudie in Palmy North. Claudie in Palmy, welcome, Claude. Thank you very much. Good to have you on. What did you lose? Where did you find it? I lost my passport and found it in the freezer, stuck to mince, at the back of mince.

Stuck to the bottom of some frozen mince? Yeah. How did it get there? Do you have any idea? I think what happened was in the beginning of the week, I actually went and did some grocery shopping after I had submitted forms and made copies of my passport. And I think I'd

left it on the same, where the groceries were, and while I was packing it away, I must have put it in with a mince. Thank heavens I needed it by Friday. And on Thursday night, I actually made, took mince out to make. And I saw the passport stuck to the bottom.

Otherwise, I would never have been able to apply for my things or do what I needed to do for residency. And you would never have been able to call us this morning. Exactly. It's all worked out, Claudia. Claudia, I really appreciate it. Thank you very much. The freezer seems like a great, if you think about it,

a wonderful hiding location. Put all your personal belongings in the freezer. Burglars are never going to look in a freezer. So sweet. Unless they've got a lot of time on their hands and they're wanting to steal some defrost and defrost some meat or something. Yeah, you're probably right. You know, you can put everything in there.

Ben puts his weed in there. He claims it's not his. Freeze your assets. It's what the cops are always telling us to do. Put them in the freezer. Hey, thank you very much for your calls, New Zealand. Appreciate it. We've got five words, $5,000 very shortly.

As well as that, we've got to wrap up the Olympics with all the best bits because we're sad the Olympics is all over. It is the hits. You've got Jono and Ben. Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast on the hits. It is the hits. Jono and Ben, 7.26, Monday morning. We're going to wrap up the Olympics with some of our favourite moments very shortly, but

you would have just heard in the news, tragic news over the weekend, just really, really heart-wrenching horrible stuff in South Canterbury horror crash, five teenagers no longer with us, it's just devastating for the whole community, for everyone involved, the families the family of the driver, the driver

the community, the schools, it's just devastating, we were talking about this before the show weren't we Jude? It's just probably my daughter was watching the news last night, she said what's going on here and I told her and she started getting tears in her eyes I just feel for everyone involved it's just so horrible, I just

saw a headline saying it's like waking up to your worst nightmare that just won't go away it's just heart-wrenching and yeah, I just don't have any words to describe how everyone must be feeling down there. We are really thinking of everyone and sending lots of love. And just some of the stuff you do as a teenager too, you make mistakes as a teenager, don't you?

Oh, totally. And, you know, for the most part, you navigate your way through those teenage years into adulthood and go, oh, thank God, some of that stuff didn't go bad. But yeah, I think the male brain doesn't fully develop until 25. Right. years into adulthood and go oh thank god some of that stuff didn't go bad um but yeah i think the male brain doesn't fully develop until 25 right poor driver's 19 you know and i say poor driver because he didn't intend this no no you know you make stupid mistakes and he's going to

live with this for the rest of his life we're all sending love to to everyone down there and thank you all this morning uh Yeah, just horrible, horrible stuff. It is the hits, John O'Bien, 7.31. The Olympics is all over after two weeks, and it's been really, really awesome to see how well New Zealand has done on the world stage. As we talked about earlier this morning, it was our best ever Olympic Games with 20 medals.

And, you know, I think we came 13th overall. But last night on TV One, they had to do their own per capita breakdown. And we got that. There we are at number 12. But another way of looking at it, per capita, taking our population into account, we'd be fourth in the world rankings. Yeah, didn't need to. Didn't need to.

That's when you do it when we're not favourable on the main medal table. That's when we pull out our per capita. Exactly. We know we've always got that up our sleeve. This is our best ever. We can pull that out any time. Anyway, we're so proud of all of our Olympians, mainly the ones who won medals.

It feels like you have to say you're proud of all of them, but mainly the medal winners. They all got there. I mean, forget about how much of an amazing achievement it is to even get to the Olympic Games. But the ones that won medals, we are the most proud of. There was a wonderful one. I don't know if you saw it over the weekend, Lydia Ko in the golf. And she had to have a playoff for basically the silver medal.

But she was just so supportive. So it was her and another lady going for the you know for going for silver and one was going to get silver one gets bronze she was so supportive like she was like the other other lady from japan was making a cut punch it's like oh you know she was like reacting like she was part of it i'm wanting her to get it i was just like she was so supportive she was smiley she was just like, and I was like, wow, that's such an amazing Olympic spirit. Yeah. I found this. I'll be coughing. You suck.

You suck. Yeah, as I made the part. But she was like, what? She was like, oh, it's coming, oh, you're so close. I was like, wow, it was awesome. Well, because I suppose she's probably like, oh, I'm going to get a medal either way. Yeah. I'm happy with this.

Yeah, well, yeah, true. And we're proud of Lydia. She got a medal. Yeah. I'm proud of the other ones here. But, you know, I found that same supportive nature in skateboarding. Did you watch the skateboarding? A little bit, yeah. It was just like watching a bunch of Gen Zers hanging out at the skateboard all day.

Well, it was like a skate park because no one was there with the crowds. It was like a Saturday morning at Vicky Park or something. Just waiting for them to start vaping and tagging and stuff. But they were so supportive of each other. Like the ones who were coming first, second and third, they're like, brah, hugging, brah. Having photos, doing selfies. It was wonderful to see that spirit in the Olympics.

We thought we'd reflect right now on some of our favourite moments, some of the great moments from New Zealand in particular in the Olympics right now. The last 18 months for everyone hasn't been easy. To be standing here now with a flag on my back, it's pretty cool. It's been our most successful Olympics. New Zealand history made. With a record 20 medals.

Bronze medal going to Dylan Schmidt from New Zealand. The performance of his life. Donahue and Osborne are Olympic silver medalists. Hayden Wilde, Olympic bronze medalist. How do those words sound? Far out. To get a silver medalist. Hayden Wilde, Olympic bronze medalist. How do those words sound? Far out. To get a silver medal is amazing. I can't stop crying.

Peking Rugby. An Olympic gold. Black gold in Tokyo. Madeline Tweg here coming up and wins the gold. New Zealand's most successful Olympian of all time, Lisa Carrington. Oh my word, that looked easy. Half a boat length, brilliant.

I just can't believe I've done it. It's something I never thought I could do, so yeah, it's just super special. From the last Olympics to these Olympics, I've had two humans. These two children really inspire me. And I keep looking up to the stand and keep imagining them there. Congratulations to all our Kiwi Olympians for a historic medal haul. Congratulations to our list of boys too who made that wonderful audio montage.

Really great montage. Yeah, great. I've listened to some montages over my time. That's up there. Whates, too, who made that wonderful audio montage. Really great montage. Yeah, great. Geez, I've listened to some montages over my time. That's up there. I can imagine. What do you mean by that? You've been around a while. Yeah, a long time.

I've been listening to montages since the 1920s, Jude. Oh, wow. It was a wonderful World War II montage, I can reflect. But anyway, no, we're really proud. Well done to all of the athletes. And I tell you what, no one's more gutted about the Olympics ending than Sky Sport. They're going to go back to having whatever they're doing at the moment. And families around New Zealand. You're like, what do I do now?

Yeah, you have to talk to them now. But I don't know about you. I'm going to make a full commitment to follow religiously the table tennis and wall speed climbing circuits between this and the next Olympic Games, okay? All right, well, we'll bring you updates every day here, too, on the hits. It is the hits. You've got John on bed. Five words for 5K on the hits. You're only five words away from a massive payday. It is our game of word association.

We play it every morning on the hits. Five grand is up for grabs. There you go. That's how you say it. It's our favourite game. I love playing this game. This is my second favourite game behind How Long Can I Lie in Bed For and Pretend It's Not a Weekday Morning. And that game doesn't last long.

We'll get Tracey on from New Plymouth. Maureen and Trace, how are you? I'm great, thank you. Is it cold there? We're seeing some snow and gizzy. Yeah, it is a bit cold. I'm in New Plymouth. But yeah, it's pretty windy and not pleasant.

All right. Winter's last kiss was how they were saying before on the newspaper. Winter's last kiss? That's a bit weird. Sounds like a line from Fifty Shades of Grey. And she gifted him a winter's last kiss. Trace. Yeah.

We understand you're in accounts. I am, yes. And we understand you want to be accounting $5,000 at the end of this. That would be wonderful. All right, balance those books for five grand today, hopefully. And that's all the accounting jargon I've got. Spreadsheets. Who are you going to send into the soundproof booth?

I'll try Ben today. You're going to send Ben, did you say? Yep. Ben Boyce. He's off to the soundproof booth, and all you need to do is match your words with his words. It's like a game of words tinder. And we'll see if we can win

$5,000 for you Tracy. You've played at home? I have. You know how the game works. First word that comes into your head when I say anthem. National. Word number two, sticker I was thinking we could stick a book

There's a few for drummers in there. Yeah, yeah. If you look at the musical instrument as well, there's a few extensions on there, but eardrum's a great answer. The fourth word this morning on this Monday for Tracy is gravy. I think gravy train for some reason. Yeah. Yeah, that was the first word that came into my head.

Okay, we'll go with that. But I'm very stupid. But anyway, you can roll with that if you want. Nervous was the fifth and final word. Oh, me. Nervous twitch. Nice. You did well with some tough words this morning, Tracy.

Are you happy? Yeah, yeah, I think so. I can't change it. Well, I wouldn't want to change it too, so we'll go with that. All right, let's get Ben out of the soundproof booth. For once, I'd just like to prank you when you go into the soundproof booth and you go and you come out and we pretend like it's 2045 or something and that you've been lost in time.

But that's not going to be this morning. Okay, and I shouldn't have told you about the prank because it's never going to come off now when it happens. Tracy's done well, Ben. Okay. I won't lie, some of the words are pretty tough for a Monday morning. That's not what you want to hear. Let's go.

First words that you need to match with Tracy. Anthem. Anthem? Anthem. Oh, national. anthem anthem anthem Oh national hey feeling t-dog pretty good pretty good it's good stuff sure little confused that you call me t-dog here I a word number two this morning being the sticker.

Hey, mate, don't want to hear your life story. Just lock in a word. Book. Sticker book. Are you serious? Over the weekend, we were doing a sticker book in. Hey mate, don't want to hear your life story. Just lock in a word. Book. Sticker book. Are you serious? It's over the weekend. We're doing a sticker book. I used to do that as a child too. Why were you doing a sticker book?

Well, I was actually doing it without my daughter. It's a lot of fun actually. Tracy. Oh, good having the grandchildren, eh? Yeah. Okay, the third word was drum. Oh, there's lots of options for this one. D, rum. Drum.

There's about a dozen floating around for drum. Fourth word was gravy. Brown. Brown gravy. And nervous was the fifth word. Me. Did you say me? She said that.

Oh, really? Yes. But it wasn't the answer she locked in. No. Imagine if you matched that. Sure, this has been a rollercoaster You didn't do too bad, Tracy Listen, I'm going to give you one job, okay?

Yep You keep staying beautiful, baby That was a weird job to give you, wasn't it? Enjoy your day in New Plymouth Yeah, have a great day Thank you After 8 o'clock, we've got my daughter Sienna making some more calls.

We want to find out what would happen if a kid was trying to plan a wedding with their dolls. Are we going to call a wedding planner? Tell you what would happen. Comedy? We'll surprise a wedding planner with that call after 8 o'clock.

It is that. Spy. No, what's up? Spy.co.nz From Lady Gaga to the Briscoe's Lady, no one is safe from an early morning roasting From Juliet and Spy What's going on, mate?

So, Kiwi actress Rose Matafeo Is tipped to be the next Doctor Who After English actress Jodie Whittaker Is going to be leaving in 2022 Is she? Rose? She's one of the list of people that The Guardian Came out with over the weekend

Of 10 people that could potentially take over. And she was ranked potentially number three. Wow. She should be the third best option, which is really cool. And I think she's kind of risen to fame over in the UK after she had her own hit BBC comedy series, Starstruck. And obviously she was in Baby Done with Matthew Lewis, who was Neville Longbottom in Harry Potter. Harry Potter? Harry Potter. I Longbottom in Harry Potter. Harry Potter? Harry Potter.

I love it when Juliet says Harry Potter. So she's doing really well for herself that she's getting noticed like this over in the UK as well. She was awesome. She's so talented. I mean, we used to work with her on our show. When she was only 18. And even then you were like, oh, you're a superstar.

You know, when you can see it in them. She was our daughter before we had you, Julie. She was our little Samoan daughter and, you know, she never emails or calls now, does she? So does that mean she's my sister? She's your sister, yeah. Oh, my goodness. Are you proud of your sister?

I've got a really talented sister there. And you'll be off doing great things without us at some stage as well. I'm no comedian, though, so... Which is really cool. So hopefully she can land that role. That would be another really good claim to fame for New Zealand. She's done really well, hasn't she? She's going strength to strength, Rose.

You though, Pryor. Backwards, if anything. She carries the team. She carries the team. No, okay. I've managed to go down. She keeps rising up. I've opted for a slow fade out on my career. Yeah.

There's options. Barack Obama had his 60th birthday party over the weekend, and he scaled back, yes, because of COVID, kept it to family and friends. John Legend and Chrissy Teigen were... Hold on. Family and friends is all you invite to a birthday party. That's true. They're scaling it back.

That's a good point. I won't buy randoms and stuff. Just this once. I might just have family and or friends. You need to scale it back. But he had John Legend and Chrissy Teigen, but people were kind of, oh, controversial Chrissy Teigen that she went, as did Beyonce, Jay-Z, Gabrielle Union.

Oh, jeez, you really scaled it back then, didn't you? Yeah, well, he's good friends with Beyonce and Jay-Z. Gabrielle Union. Oh, Jay-Z really scaled it back then, didn't he? Yeah, well, he's good friends with Beyonce and Jay-Z. Great friends to have, I reckon. And in lieu of gifts, the Obamas encouraged guests to donate to programs that work to support youth. And something that was quite interesting is he had bespoke napkins made for the party that had 44 by 60 written on them. So the 44th president turning 60.

There were photos leaked of him on the D floor holding a microphone. Oh, dancing with Obama. That would just be so cool. So he's had a scale back birthday. Who got benched? I always want to know. Who were the people that missed out?

Have you ever been uninvited from something? Oh, I don't know. Because I imagine during these COVID times, if you have a wedding, you'd almost have to have a cull list wouldn't you? Yeah true you're keeping it under a certain amount you're right I'd love to know if I've been on a cull list

people wouldn't tell you though would they? I feel like I've been a late call up for stuff before you know you were like oh a wedding next week yeah I get it you know like you definitely know you're on the like. Have you had a week lead into a wedding? I'm very sure. Did you? And it's nice to be invited along it's's definitely someone pulled out that wasn't your first choice and what excuse are these oh we mean we shout about just family and friends and then you know

and then they widened out to me and then they invited back jay-z beyonce tegan and ben boyce how good and then it's five from where you can head to the hits.co.nz. Ben and Jono call this show Jono and Ben. Breakfast on the hits. The hits. I was outed in a sham that I created for myself on Friday night, Ben. We had a meal with some colleagues of ours. Yeah, we did. It was lovely.

It was a really enjoyable evening. And two of the colleagues, they'd been doing some editing for the TV show that's about to start on TVNZ2 for us and so you know a couple of weeks ago I text them both thinking well one's in Auckland one's in Wellington I text them both separately go first one was you know hey congratulations thank you for all your hard work on the editing really appreciate it and put the separately. The first one was hey, congratulations, thank you for all your hard work on the editing, really appreciate it, and put the name at the beginning. And then I was like, well, I'll just copy and paste that one

and send it to the other guy as well. Put his name at the front. The core content of the text message is exactly the same, word for word. But it's still lovely. When you're brought down it's always lovely that you do that, you text them. But then they, immediately after getting the're brought down, it's always lovely that you do that. You text them. But then they, immediately after getting the text each,

they spot you. They text each other. They go, did you just get a text from, oh yeah, what did you all say? Then they both, I didn't think they knew each other

or communicated. And they're like, oh, I've got a lovely text on me too. What did you all say? And then so he sent his one to him. Then the other one sent back. And they're like,

oh, that's exactly the same message. Oh. At least you changed the names. Remember once we got someone on the John Owen Ben TV show where we had before, and we obviously had wanted to get an actor, and then ended up getting another actor because the first one wasn't available. And they turned up, and they were like, oh,

which part were I in the script? And we're like, oh, this part. The one where it says such and such's name. And we're like, oh, yeah, yeah. And they caught us out on it. They'll go, so I'm guessing they weren't available, and that's why. And you're like, yeah,

that's exactly what has happened. We didn't change the script. We wanted Robert De Niro. We got Robbie Mangaseba. And that's what, we'll be honest, that's happened. Yeah, we shot for the stars, didn't we? So I would have just been better off

sending a groupie in that situation, wouldn't I? Yeah. Hey, guys, thanks. Yeah. Why did I try and bespoke them? I had a mate who applied for a job, and he sent the, like, he was applying for lots of jobs, and then he sent the cover letter to the job from the, basically, to the one in the previous place, going, I'd love to get this job at such and such.

No, I've just sent that through, and it's not actually there. That was the one. I didn't change the name of the business. I imagine it could happen all the time, especially the moment so many people are applying for jobs. You just copy and paste, wouldn't you? Yeah. Ben, to get this one, you actually included your resume to get for the edge.

They still gave you the job. I'll be great talking to the young youth. And you sp spell youth with Y Zero zero F Dollar signs and you're using all the great emojis 8.25 lots of fun hanging out With you guys this morning and lots of fun Announcing this

OMG It is back OMG I want one is back It's been back for a week or two but there's a wee bit of a twist today isn't there? Yeah there has been a twist because you guys were doing no heavy lifting, the only thing you were lifting was your index finger to text OMG to 4487 Then you had to do nothing, you just had to wait for a call and go well done you've won a prize Well now there's a bit of decision making that's required Yeah there are two options each day for OMG I want one and here is today's

big decision. Thank you Jono and Orban. Today it's your choice. Get toned, tanned fit and ready for summer with Prize A. A six month gym membership or let your taste buds be the real winners. Prize B's

a Kiwi Kai classic. Six months of fish and chip Fridays for the whole whanau. Text OMG to 4487 now to get in the draw. Back to you in the studio. There we go. Who is that? Oh, that's good. I like it.

Great voice. Great voice. Very happy. Beautiful. Now, that's the thing. We're going to give you a decision. So if you win this afternoon, Stace, Michael and Anika will call you. So do you want option A, the gym membership, or option B, the fish and chips?

You can't have option C, which is take both and cancel out your gym work immediately with fish and chips after. They'd kind of work well together, wouldn't they? The fish and chip Friday, but still have a gym membership as well. What would you go for, Producer Juliet? Oh, I'm boring. I'd go for the gym membership. Yeah, I would too. But Jono, you'd put your money on fish and chip Friday.

I would because, you know, heavy investment from the prior household into the fish and chip industry. Every week I have Fish and Chip Friday. So just to relax those costs for six months. Yeah, no, fair enough. It would be awesome. So there you go. You can text OMG to 4487 and you could be in the draw.

And as Jono said before, this afternoon someone will be winning one of those fantastic prizes. You don't get this squidgy body by not eating fish and chips every week, Ben. Got a regime to keep up, my friend.
