Jono and Ben, new to your mornings. Friends of Skinny, New Zealand's most recommended telco.
Happy, happy, happy, oh, oh.
Just when you thought you couldn't get enough of Jono and Ben, you can have them anywhere, anytime.
Welcome to the Jono and Ben podcast.
Welcome to the podcast intro. High energy in the studio at the moment. Keep the meeting going, keep the meeting going.
Keep the meeting going, guys.
It's the 24th of June. Now, what is going on? We've got Management Ellen here, Millennial Max, and wonderful Juliet.
Don't shrug your shoulders, Juliet.
I mean, I'm not part of the conversation.
Okay.
Just came in at the wrong time.
What are the issues in the studio at the moment, guys?
Elle?
Look behind you.
Yes.
Oh, okay.
So there's a giant, there's about six giant flat screen TVs behind us.
Dude, radio at some point a few years ago decided that we needed an extraordinary amount of televisions in the studio.
Didn't we?
Yeah.
And behind us is a whacking great picture of both Ben and myself.
And that is too much.
But they've tried to split it across the six screens.
And it looks like your jaw is dislocated.
Yeah.
Was it one of the Muppets?
Was it Beaker or whatever it is?
It has that sort of mouth that's sort of...
You look like a meme.
It's a meme.
Yeah, like a meme.
Yeah, there you go.
Like a meme.
Like when you sort of put the fake mouth on someone to pretend they're talking.
I look like that.
It's a lot of...
Alan, do you want my honest feedback?
I mean, I'm definitely not a marketing.
But I'll fake...
I'll pretend I know what I'm talking about.
It's a lot of my face.
Very close up.
It's too much of my face.
Can I give you my feedback then, Dakota?
Okay, here we go.
You guys are the brand.
We need to see the faces.
Here we go.
That's a bit of...
There we go.
That's a marketing spin.
That would almost be too much face if it was just on one script,
let alone six giant scripts.
Yeah.
Hey, the future, eh?
Yeah.
Well, you can continue on having your meeting. Yeah, yeah future, eh? Yeah. You know, you can continue on
having your meeting. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll take it outside,
guys. I'll let you back to the radio show. Yeah, you take it. That's fine.
Now, Ben, how's your day going, mate?
Are you alright? I was going alright, yeah. We're looking
forward to our 90s show tomorrow. We're taking it back to
where the hits first started, and
tell you what, we've
got some great guests coming on the program tomorrow.
Some blasts from the past.
Simon Barnett.
I know.
To play Face the Music, which was a game show from the early 90s.
Steve Parr speaking game shows from the early 90s.
Sailor the Century was a huge show.
And he's joining us tomorrow.
We've got Carlton from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
We've got a guy from Boys to Men.
We've also got Fran Drescher, the nanny.
We've got apparently a surprise that both of us don't know about.
No.
An iconic person from the 90s as well.
So it's going to be a lot of fun.
So join us tomorrow from six.
Juliet was telling us a story off air yesterday that we were like,
well, this is a champagne phone topic if I've ever heard of it.
Yeah, like as people who are parents now, I'm just like, really? This actually happens?
It seemed like a questionable parenting decision.
It was a different time.
How many years ago was it?
About 10 years ago, probably.
So my family and I, we were over in the States for a family holiday.
And we had just eaten dinner at this little pizza,
your classic American pizza place.
I can't remember where in America, but it was dark.
And I remember my brother, he must have been doing something that was really grinding my parents' gears.
Like they were just getting so annoyed.
And they were just on, you know, they were just so over it.
End of a long day.
Yeah, I know.
And traveling with young kids, like I can see now why they were just so over it.
But he was like, oh, they're weak, I'll strike.
And I'll keep striking.
So he was probably doing something very, very annoying and very frustrating.
And we got back into the car after dinner.
We were driving away from this pizza place.
And I think either mum or dad must have said, Nick, if you don't sort yourself out,
if you don't be quiet, we'll put you on the side of the road
and you can make your own way back to the hotel
Like a classic parent threat
And parenting's full of
empty threats
You say them for a period there, you can say them
and they work, they're fearful
of those threats coming to reality
but eventually they figure out, well they've never followed through
on one of these threats
And Nick must have been about 13 at the time
and growing up, mum and dad have done,
they did it to me all the time.
They'd threaten me with dropping me off on the side of the road,
finding my own way back home.
Oh, so that was their go-to.
I'll drop you on the side of the road.
Yeah, and they never had.
So Nick was like, I'll take this as an opportunity to wind them up even more.
And so they did.
He did.
And then they just got so frustrated that they literally were like,
Nick, stop, get out of the car.
And so he was like, what? And Nick, stop, get out of the car. And so he was like, what?
And they're like, get out of the car.
He's like, in America?
Are you making me do this?
The kidnapped capital of the world?
It's night time, I don't know where I am.
And so he got out of the car
and I remember looking back,
we shut the door and I looked back at him
and he was standing on this little grassy area.
Oh my goodness.
And I was like, oh.
That's the last I'll ever see of my brother.
And I was so, I was so worried and so shocked
and so confused that mum and dad hadn't actually done this.
But like there was a roundabout up at the end of the street.
And so they did, they did drive off,
but then they turned around.
Oh, it's a matter of minutes.
Yeah.
But imagine for you guys, you'd be like, oh my goodness.
I was like, oh.
Did that sort them out for a wee bit?
I think it must have.
I reckon he would have gone back in the car and just would have been dead silent for the remainder of the ride home.
Oh my God, I can't believe you did that.
I think the whole car probably would have been going, oh my God, I can't believe you did that.
Even your parents, I can't believe we did that.
We were probably all silently, quietly relieved that he was actually just safe and that we got him back, to be fair.
I remember when I was young, my mum would be like, I i'm gonna give all of your toys to the kids in africa and i kept
going well the logistics of sending the toys the international postage yeah do you even know anyone
in africa are you just going to address it to kids in africa because that's not going to get to them
yeah when i drilled down and thought about it and no not one of those toys got sent over there
do you do any threats?
Oh, yeah, I'm probably the same as you, though.
You would say something and then the kids now work out that,
he's never going to do that.
I like the, don't make me turn this car around.
And you're like, well, you turning the car around
is probably more of an inconvenience to you than it is us.
Plus, you know.
We don't want to go on this stupid trip anyway.
You're on the southern motorway, there's a median barrier.
Logistically impossible. So, 0800 the hits. This is what we wanted to go on this stupid trip anyway. You're on the southern motorway, there's a median barrier. Logistically impossible.
So 0800 the hits.
This is what we wanted to chuck out this morning.
4487 if you'd like to text us.
Parental threats that were actually followed through on.
Maybe this was when you were growing up.
Maybe you're a parent now and you actually backed up a threat.
Would love your calls and texts this morning.
Get in touch with New Zealand's Breakfast.
You know what I enjoy is the classic countdown.
I'm going to give you until one.
And it's a slow measured psychotic countdown.
Five, four.
And no one ever finds out what happens when it gets...
But I notice if they sort of get a vibe that the child's not budging,
they start counting down in halves.
Two and a half.
Two and you're like,
well, this is an inconsistent countdown
you've started here.
We'll go to Rowan.
Welcome from Beachlands.
Parental threats that were followed through on.
How are you, Rowan?
Oh, g'day, mate.
Yeah.
Yeah, good.
You phoned the radio station.
We caught you by surprise.
Off guard.
What was the parental threat, Rowan?
Yes, I did follow through on it.
So I was a solo dad looking after my four kids.
And, you know, by their description, I was a bit of a sergeant major.
But that's the way I could make it work.
So, you know, rules are there to be followed.
So anyway, one of my boys who was...
That's what a sergeant major would say.
He was 18 at the time, young Darren,
and he had just started working
and he thought that gave him, you know,
the authority to just go out and stay out all night
and party up.
And I said, no, you're still young.
You've got to give your boss a fair go.
You'll be home by this time or I'll lock you out.
And so anyway, he pushed the boundary.
He came home and I'd locked him out.
So he spent all night outside.
Yeah, he went around the house banging on the walls and the windows
and trying to get one of his siblings to open up.
And I was going around the inside of the house telling all the siblings,
do not open any door or you'll be outside
with them.
And he froze his nuts off
and he subsequently
calmed right down and decided
that he was going to do what Dad had asked.
Oh, you followed through, Rowan.
Followed through. Gave your son
hypothermia, but that's the lesson you
learned, don't you?
He still loves me.
Oh, good on you, mate.
And I'm sure you do all of them, Rowan.
Thanks for your call.
Appreciate that.
Hey, Jono.
Yeah.
One quick one.
You got me on wind up your wife back in about 2009.
Oh, you got you.
The two degrees fight.
Oh, yes.
Yeah.
You know, all my kids and all their mates still say to me,
I'm going to stop you there. Yes, no, I remember
because you were getting wound up and I could go, I'll stop you there.
I'll stop you there, which
in turn winds through. Do you know how many people come up
and go, you prank called me 10 years ago?
Lots, I would say. We're like, John,
And it doesn't stack up in 2021,
prank calling.
You've got to be so angry.
I got picked on by my mates.
You sent my house bird down.
Sorry about that.
I was desperate for a reaction.
Thank you for still listening to us, Rowan.
Bloody good, mate. Keep it up.
We've got Zoe on from Auckland.
Parental threats that were followed through on, Zoe.
Hi, how are you going?
When my kids were little, I used to
tell them that if they
didn't stop misbehaving,
I would put them outside.
And so I did.
It's the ultimate threat, isn't it?
Just being permanently outside.
Yeah.
It's a popular...
It gives them a chance to calm down, and it gives you a chance to calm down.
And I still use it now if they're being really, really silly.
And I'll just say, I will put you outside.
It gives them also a good chance to wander off and lose them as well.
Thank you, Zoe.
Appreciate it.
Someone's texting going, my friend got caught by his dad smoking a cigarette,
and he always said, if I catch you, I'm going to make you smoke an entire pack of cigarettes.
So he did.
But in turn, it's kind of counterintuitive because you're making him more addicted to cigarettes.
Yes, you're right.
But you're making him...
I hadn't thought about that before.
He's like, well, now I love them even more.
You just smoke the whole pack.
All right, then.
Oh, well.
Janine, you're on.
Welcome.
Parental threats follow through on.
Yeah.
Yeah, definitely did that.
What'd you do?
My 11-year-old wouldn't put a seatbelt on in the car.
So I said to him, if you don't put your seatbelt on, I'm going to stop and you're going to get out and you're going to walk home.
Uh-oh.
Said this a couple of times. He still didn't put it on. So I pulled over, told him't put your seatbelt on, I'm going to stop and you're going to get out and you're going to walk home. Uh-oh. Said this a couple of times.
He still didn't put it on.
So I pulled over, told him to get out of the car and told him to walk home.
How many kilometres from home was he?
Oh, we were only about a kilometre from home.
And he was 11, so he knew his way home.
The little darling took about an hour to get home.
It takes 20 minutes to walk there, so I was in a bit of a panic.
Yeah, about half an hour in, you're like, uh-oh so I was in a bit of a panic. Yeah, about half
an hour in, you're like, uh-oh. Oh, dear God.
Yeah, yeah. What's happened to him?
Where's he gone? Who's got him? But no, he made
his way home. You'd have to phone the police. We've got a missing
person. They'll be like, how did he go missing? Oh, well.
Yeah, yeah.
Thank you, Janine. Really appreciate it.
Great. We'll take one more quick one. Marlis,
parental threats that were followed through on.
What happened?
Hi, sorry.
My youngest continued to storm off when she was being told off
and slammed the door.
It's a classic, love it.
Yep.
So I said to her, you slam the door one more time
and the door will come off the hinges.
Please tell me you took the door off the hinges.
I did take the door off the hinges.
Oh, well done.
For a whole week.
Oh, wow.
But then there's a pain in the ass attaching the door back on again.
Yeah, it was, it was.
But you know what?
It was worth it.
It was a good call, Marlis.
Thank you.
She hasn't slammed the door again.
Oh, there you go.
Lesson learned.
And now you know how to take off and put on doors, too.
It's a win-win.
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.
Now, you realise you bought,
I know you realised you bought your daughter Sienna
in the other day.
It would have been unusual if you didn't realise that.
Oh, jeez, yeah, you're so with me.
She was here for a long time.
Yeah, she was.
So you did bring her in. And I wasn't having that as a passive-aggressiveez. You're still with me. She was here for a long time. Yeah, she was. So you did bring her in.
And I wasn't having that as a passive-aggressive dig.
No, no.
I was just kind of going there.
So I hope, as a parent, you would have noticed that your daughter was sitting here the entire time.
No, she had something we needed to do.
So she came in for a few hours at work the other day.
Yeah.
Yeah, and you strangely sent her across the road to pick you up coffee, which we discussed yesterday.
No, she went to get a hot chocolate from the cafe just next door.
And then I was like, get me a coffee.
You're like, that was weird.
When she came back with a coffee.
I think the people at the cafe were like, that was weird.
They were like, okay, $9.
That's what she said that they told her when she came back.
But what I did notice too, and it probably happens in a lot of workplaces
when kids come in, is that work the work environment continues on that stop
radio stops for no one you know meetings continue on well she was sitting quite quietly in the
corner just uh doing some stuff and yeah so some people didn't even know that she was sitting there
in the corner and so we you know have a couple of meetings after the show and people come in
and you know the language can be a bit blasphemous at times. Not on the radio, though, eh?
Not on the radio, which is, I find that so interesting about this industry
is that it's so clean cut on air, but then off air,
we're just like a troop of sailors, aren't we?
I mean, we'd probably go to a gang headquarters
and they'd be like, guys, tidy up your language.
It's terrible.
But, yeah, so the meetings would continue on.
If this, you know, just all sorts of... It's not as bad, but meetings Would continue on F this You know
Just all
It's not as bad
But every now and again
Someone would say something
And then they would
I think we even invented
New swear words
But then they realise
There's a child in the room
They check themselves
And they go
They take a big breath
And everyone
About four people
And then they put
Their hand over their mouth
And then they whisper
Sorry
You shouldn't be
Whispering sorry
You should be
Whispering your swear words.
Of all the words to whisper.
Yeah, you're right.
It was always a sorry.
They go, sorry, sorry.
But then it's the same cycle.
Then you go as the parent, don't worry, it's okay, she's heard worse.
That's what the parents always say for some reason.
But I, she hasn't.
I'll be honest with you, she hasn't.
I was like, what worse thing did she hear? She hasn't't but you feel like you need to say that to make the person yeah no that's okay
and that honestly happened four times over in different meetings
sorry don't worry she's heard worse and then it goes back around julia you were probably one of
the worst culprits oh i know i remember when it first happened and it must have been like
maybe six months ago or so, maybe
I think. And then I was like, oh no,
what's Ben going to think of me?
Like, don't, you know,
tarnish my daughter with those words.
But you were fine about it. Yeah, he said, don't worry,
she's heard worse.
It's interesting, my daughter Indy's at
that age of swearing, it's just like, that's the
worst. Oh yeah, so even like the concert the other night and someone said something over the
mic, she's like, can they say this?
Can they do, you know?
She's just like, wow.
You feel like she's drafting up a letter to the broadcasting standards
and saw something.
She's going to be one of those people.
She's going to be a Karen.
She's like, you can't say that.
She's like, I will never say a swear word.
Yeah, didn't she say?
That's what she said.
I'm like, you will.
You will one day.
No, I will never say a swear word.
So I've recorded her.
It's like a little video.
So one day I'm like, I've got this hair that you will never say a swear word.
We should do a story arc on the radio where it's like we try to get Indy to say her first
swear word.
Would that be irresponsible?
Oh, bloody.
I wonder where it would go.
We just put her in stressful situations to just try and stop bribing a kid $1,000.
Now, tomorrow is a very exciting show for us.
We're taking it back to when the hits first started.
There it is.
Coming Friday.
I'm the king of the world.
You have me at home.
Hello.
John O'Dean's That 90's Show
Excellent
It's a wild time too
Particularly for fashion where there was no concern
Over a clashing of colours
On one body
You could have all the colours of the rainbow
And no eyes
No one flicked an eye did they
The brighter, the more the colours
Clashed the better.
Yesterday we spoke to Simon Barnett, who's going to be joining us on the 90s show.
We asked him if he could do a reboot of the famous game show Face the Music,
which he's going to be doing tomorrow.
But he was kind of like, he was the Kanye West of the 90s
when it came to fashion in New Zealand.
Pushing boundaries.
Frosted tips.
A lot of stuff that had people questioning.
But that was what you did
back then. It's like people are going, Kanye,
why are you wearing Crocs now?
But one day we'll look back on it and go, he was a visionary.
The 90s stuff has all come back in again now.
It's very exciting tomorrow.
It's going to be playing music from the 90s.
We're talking to people from the 90s. It's going to be
a lot of fun. Apparently we've got some big guests lined up too,
according to Producer Humphrey. Big guests. We've got Steve Parr. We've tracked him down from Sale of thes. It's going to be a lot of fun. Apparently we've got some big guests lined up too, according to producer Humphrey. Big guests.
We've got Steve Pahl.
We've tracked him down from Sale of the Century.
And you want to play a little game with us now.
Yeah, we do this from time to time,
but you've kind of flipped it slightly.
Yeah, so you're going to make a booking at a cafe, okay?
And then I'm going to play music from the 90s,
and you need to seamlessly integrate the name of the artist
into the conversation, okay?
Oh, that's not going to be hard at all.
Okay.
Just take my lead on this, all right?
Okay, so try and say the artist's name when I hear the music.
Yeah, we'll go through the cafe at Nelson here.
Oh, jeez.
Hello, Groucho's Tap Cafe, speaking with Ava.
Oh, hi there.
How are you doing?
Good, how are you?
Good.
I'm one of the new kids on the block to the area.
What's this, Corey?
I've moved back and I was looking for someone coming somewhere for lunch.
Yeah.
Did you want to make a booking?
Yeah, I do.
It's quite weird being back in town, though.
Yeah.
For what day?
Was that today?
I see some of my old mates turning from boys to men.
Anyway, I was thinking maybe
coming in for lunch tomorrow. How's tomorrow looking?
Yeah, of course tomorrow.
It's not that busy at all. What time
did you want to come in?
Well, I'm working on the car at the moment
giving that a bit of a TLC, so maybe
12 o'clock? 12 o'clock, of course.
Yeah. Coolio, is that all good?
And how many people? Four of us. That'd be good. course. Yeah. Coolio, is that all good? And how many people?
Four of us.
That'd be good.
Four?
Yep.
Cool, and a name for that?
That would just be under Salt and Pepper.
Trevor?
Yeah, Trevor sounds good.
Yep.
Yep, Trevor would be good.
Okay.
No doubts, though, you're busy, though.
You're busy at the moment?
At the moment.
Oh, yeah, do you guys do, like, desserts?
Yeah, we do do desserts.
Anything with vanilla ice cream or anything like that?
Yeah, we can do ice cream on the side or desserts.
Awesome, that's really good.
Cool.
What's that, sorry?
Do you sell meatloaf?
Sell what, sorry?
Meatloaf.
Meatloaf? No, we don't sell meatloaf. Oh, that's good. I'm not a big fan of meatloaf, so that's good.
Yeah.
Cool, sorry. So what was the name for the booking?
You just put it under the Venga Boys.
The?
Venga Boys. It's just me and the Venga Boys coming down for lunch.
The Bigger Boys?
The Venga Boys.
Oh, sure.
The Venga...
Yeah, we'll take the Venga bus and we'll be arriving.
Just a second.
You're nothing too spicy, eh?
On the menu?
Nothing?
No, I'm not...
Like, red hot chilli peppers, not really into that sort of thing?
No.
Oh, good.
That's good.
That's really handy.
What was the contact number for the booking?
Can I look?
I've got to level with you right now.
It's Jono and Ben calling from the Hits radio station.
Oh.
Yeah.
Jono's making me try and insert 90s artists, bands, into the conversation.
I'm struggling.
Yeah. Yeah.
That's why I'm talking about the Venga Boys and Boys to Men.
I was so confused.
I was quite confused too. I was really struggling
to weave someone. Was that Savage Garden at the
end of the tour? Yeah, you were a savage.
You have a nice place to sit outside like like a savage garden, I can have lunch.
You were very polite for a lady who was bamboozled for the last two minutes.
Thank you.
Yeah, you were, you were wonderful.
Hey, we're going to send you out something for wasting your time.
Thank you.
Hey, hold the line, we'll grab your details.
Okay, thank you.
That was a really awkward couple of minutes.
Paid to talk words and stuff
Into a microphone
It's New Zealand's breakfast
Jono and Ben on the hits
I'm very stoked this morning
Because the cricketers, the New Zealand cricket team
The Blackcaps are world test champions
And even more stoked
We've just got an interview with one of the players coming up very shortly
Colin de Grunholm
You're a huge fan of the Blackhams.
He's a hard case.
He's got a flying mullet.
Yeah, he's awesome.
So we're going to be talking to Colin next,
see what's happening in the changing room.
Yeah.
Probably just people getting changed, maybe, having a shower.
I always feel weird that sometimes they have the cameras and stuff,
you know, per journalist in the changing room.
It's quite intrusive.
Just like, surely they could do interviews in the corridor outside or something like that. And then sometimes you see people not from the team in the changing room you're like surely it's quite intrusive just like surely they could do interviews in the corridor outside or something like that sometimes you see people
not from the team in the changing room but they've got no reason to get changed should be strictly
for changing you'd think so yeah but hey i'm not the changing room place if i was in the town i'm
just uh can i just get my trousers on before we do a news interview i'll come out we'll do this
it is me as you want out there in the corridor.
The corridor or out on the field even.
Is there another room for these interviews?
Yeah, like an interview room maybe.
But anyway, we're not across sport.
But something else that I'm across.
Well, I'm quite across at the moment.
I feel like kids these days, I've noticed,
they're so much smarter and more onto it than we were at that age.
They're just so much more aware of stuff.
We were so dumb.
We were dumb kids. We were dumb kids.
Stupid little kids.
I feel like that a little bit.
You know, like, as I say, my daughter,
and the nine years old, and every time we're watching
a movie or watching one on the weekend,
and it's, you know, that's a movie.
It's based on a comic book.
Turned into a movie, and she's just like,
green screen, that's green screen,
that bit's green screen.
You know?
I was like, yeah, well, clearly this isn't happening.
But, you know, but they're always so good at picking stuff.
You're like, oh, yeah.
Fake.
Fake.
That's a great screen.
That's a great screen.
He's lying.
Yeah, I get it.
Maybe it's taken the joy out of childhood.
I tell you what, green screens have really done some good real life scenery out of work,
haven't they?
I mean, there's some beautiful mountains and trees out there.
So they're not being filmed.
Yeah.
No need for them
I find it kind of unusual but she is quite
onto it and she's kind of grown up
she's already as I say she's probably like
a 35 year old in a 9 year old
she heard some swearing at the Drax Project concert
she's going to lay a complaint with the
Broadcasting Standards Authority
she's trying to come up with a name for her
netball team, their netball team at the moment
she loves playing netball and they were bouncing around some names and she came home and she said Dad one of the names I was talking about I was trying to come up with a name for her netball team, their netball team at the moment. She loves playing netball. And they were bouncing around some names.
And she came home and she said, Dad, one of the names I was talking about,
I was like, oh, I don't know if we can call ourselves this.
Because before the game, they all do like a hands in the middle sort of team chant
and they sort of start low.
And then they leap behind the arms of the air.
So it's quite good.
And then someone on the team goes, let's call ourselves the Squatters.
Because we like squatting at the end. Because we squat with the thing up. And then he's like, they're thinking about call ourselves the squatters because we like squatting at the end because we squat with a thing up and then he's like they're thinking about calling us
the squatters and i was like well do you know squatters is well yeah someone is living in a
house that's not theirs or that was just oh no or it's a group of crossfitters with magnificent
legs who have never skipped leg day the squatters watch out their legs are powerful so she was like
even before knowing the meanings behind the stuff this is a she's like i don't know if we can call
ourselves the squad so i'll keep you updated if the squad is it doesn't sound right to have a team
of children named the squad no i was like well for once i'm like i think i'm with you on this one
and either maybe but you know pick some other names for the brainstorming season. Yeah, it's like my rugby team, the Squelchers.
Everyone's like, what are you guys doing?
I've got Neville tonight.
I really enjoy going to watch Poppy play, Neville.
Yeah, those are a lot of fun, yeah.
She does.
Do you know the Silver Ferns?
They turn up and they help coach the kids and things.
The Silver Ferns.
Yeah, it's awesome, mate.
It's like community service.
I mean, you've done community service, so you'll know how fun it is.
But yeah, I was talking to one of them, and yeah, she was like,
oh, you know, I've got to do 100 hours of this.
100 hours?
Of this per year?
That's really cool, though.
As a Silver Fern.
That's really cool to see, you know, the people at the top of the game,
you know, coming out and helping.
Just think, she could be coaching the squatters one day.
She could be going, Savage, you saw the rapper Savage at the netball too.
Yeah, he was there as well.
His daughter and my daughter were playing against each other,
so it was kind of cool.
All the seats were taken.
You said to the guy next to you,
can you please give it up for Savage, mate?
So Savage finally got his.
And Savage got to squat down and have a seat.
The squatters, baby.
I didn't say that.
It is a hit.
She got Jono and Ben.
Real Kiwi blokes with soy lattes. Mmm. Jono and Ben. Breakfast on the hits you got John O'Benn. Real Kiwi blokes with soy lattes.
Mmm.
John O'Benn.
Breakfast on the hits.
So the cricket overnight,
I'm very stoked about this.
The Black Caps
won the World Championship
against India.
It was an awesome moment
for New Zealand
and New Zealand cricket.
Such a great player.
Such a proud Kiwi.
Whips that one away and how appropriate that ross taylor and kane
williamson are there for this moment for this team it's a story that's akin to david versus goliath
but kane williamson and his team now world test champions well there you go and ben boyce uh you
know we don't usually cover cricket on the show.
We silence him, don't we, Juliet, talking about cricket.
But this is one day where we're allowing him to celebrate.
And I tell you what, he's a huge, huge fan.
He's come dressed today in all whites.
He's got the pads on.
He's got the helmet.
And, yeah, he's looking fantastic supporting the team. I'm a big fan.
But you've taken advantage of this once again because you were like,
you even said, today you talk about cricket, let's try and talk to one of the players. We'll've taken advantage of this once again because you were like, you even said,
today talk about cricket,
let's try and talk to one of the players,
we'll get in touch with the media person.
Because I know that, you know,
what you wouldn't give to be a thigh pad
strapped to the thigh of one of those bladders
or even a groin guard attached to the,
you're a huge fan.
I am.
Producer Humphrey has been working tirelessly
behind the scenes to try and get you
one of your cricketing heroes on the phone
so you can, I don't know what, gash you what would you do well i congratulate them on the radio
give them the airtime they deserve this morning and uh you know he was struggling i could see
some sweat beads of sweat pouring down producer humphrey's forehead i know when things aren't
going well next door and so i said how's it going mate went next door he said not good not good not
getting any of the players so i I said, I have a solution.
Your solution was Baz from The Office pretending to be one of the players.
You didn't tell me this though, did you?
You said Colin de Grondholm was going to talk to us
and I was excited by this. I got to record
with Colin de Grondholm.
But you pushed Baz too far.
You made him compliment me.
This is Ben talking to one of his heroes, Colin de Grondholm
with a black cap. This is Baz from to one of his heroes, Colin DeGrona, Black Cap.
This is Baz from The Office, guys.
Just during the song.
Boys, thank you so much for having me.
It's great to be here.
Very exciting.
Congratulations.
I mean, how does it feel?
Is it sunken?
Winning it's pretty good, but being on this show is even better.
Thank you.
I'm stoked to be here.
Thank you, Colin.
You know how to play to our... Better than the Test Championship.
I don't know if that's the case.
Definitely a lot better.
That's awesome. No, we are so stoked for you,
Colin. It's well-deserved. I mean, this
has been a long time coming for
Black Caps fans, I guess. There was
that World Cup result that we don't really like
to talk about a few years ago, so does it feel like
this is, you know, almost
put that aside and put that to bed?
Oh, I don't even know what you're talking about.
No, there's absolutely no way.
Look, in order it goes, third, the birth of my mullet.
Second was winning this year's championship,
and first is being on the show with you, Ben.
That's my three life moments at the moment.
Well, he's a big fan.
He's a big fan.
How long have you listened to Ben for?
Probably the last 10 years.
The hits is always on the team bus at the moment.
It's up loud, so we're always listening to you boys.
Oh, thank you, Colin.
Is this actually Colin DeGrawen?
Yeah.
Is it?
Is it?
Is it?
Is it actually Colin DeGrawen?
Or you just got someone pretending to be?
Because there's a lot of compliments.
Anyway.
Hey, I'm so stoked to be on the show, boys.
Thank you so much.
Now, what would you say?
If it wasn't Colin DeGrawen, I'd say I'd probably work that out midway through that.
It was Baz from The Office.
I thought it was believable.
I thought it sounded like Baz.
I was like, Colin de Groenhoek sounds a lot like Baz from The Office.
I tried to do a bit of an accent, but it obviously didn't work.
Unfortunately, we couldn't get Colin de Groenhoek for that well play.
Is that the next best thing?
Baz?
For The Office? No. No, definitely hold. Well played. Is that the next best thing? Pass. For the office?
No.
No, definitely not.
Thanks for another one of the players.
New Zealand's breakfast.
This is Jono and Ben on the hits.
Kia ora, good morning.
Welcome along to the show.
A Thursday morning.
Good to be with you.
And good to see you.
Can I mention the cricket?
Because you always say you're not allowed to talk about the cricket
and I'm conscious of that.
You are so conscious of it, but he manages to get so much cricket
on the show, Juliet.
Would you agree?
Yes.
He always says he's conscious and he always leads with it.
You never allow me to talk about it.
Then he ends up talking about it.
I'll just say New Zealand, the Blackcaps have won the World Test
Championships.
It just happened.
So that's some good news around for New Zealand right now.
You know what? Juliet's even going to
make you so proud, she's even got audio of the victory.
Have you? Not only can you talk about it,
you can hear audio. Oh, play it to me again.
Such a great player.
Such a proud Kiwi.
Whips that one away
and how appropriate that
Ross Taylor and Kane Williamson are there
for this moment, for this
team.
It's a story that's akin to David versus Goliath.
But Kane Williamson and his team are now world test champions.
Now, you know, explain it for those people who think test cricket is one of the most boring things any human can participate in.
Doesn't it last for like five days?
Yeah, it does.
Wow.
They must get tired.
A lot of times it ends in a drawer as well, Julia,
for some reason.
Let's not pick apart some of the faults of the sport.
Let's just say, let's just be positive.
So what is this?
Explain it. This is pretty awesome.
I mean, New Zealand are a very small,
as we know, we're a very small nation.
We don't have a huge cricketing population.
Hopefully there's no new news to anyone.
No, but to beat the likes of Australia, India,
England, who's got such a rich
cricket history, to be the number one team in the world, that's
awesome. So this would be like
Italy beating the All Blacks.
Yeah, I guess it would be in some ways. It'd be like
Italy being the world champions of rugby,
I guess. Yeah, so it's pretty awesome
for the team. They've been battling away for a while.
They've had some highs and lows
over the years, and that's really awesome.
And I'll tell you who's been with them all the way.
This guy.
And I'll tell you who's having to hear about it every time.
Me.
Just went to the Warriors win next year
and then, oh.
I'll even grant you this, okay?
I'll even grant you this
and it's no guarantee.
I'll even let you ask producer B Humps
to try and chase down an interview with one of them.
Oh, really?
Okay, will it go to air? I don't know.
But you can talk to one of your heroes.
That'd be lovely.
Kia ora, I'm Rachel Jackson-Lees and this is the B**** News.
Ah, yes. Every morning we trust in producer Juliet to supply us with a buffet of amusing news stories.
And she doesn't give them to us for free, though. That's the only problem.
We've got to work hard for them.
How do we do this, Ju?
So I beep out a couple of words of a news headline
you guys have to figure out
or make a witty little insert of what you think it might be.
If we can't think of anything on the spot, yeah.
Patronising with a witty little insert.
A witty little thing.
No, it's quite good.
It's quite good.
It's like a little radio show.
You're like, yeah, we know it's little.
Your first news story.
Marine engineers turn ****** into a motorboat
and now plan to cross the English Channel in it.
I'm going to go marine engineers turn Prince Harry's Trail of Devastation,
he's left, into a motorboat and now plan to cross the English Channel in it.
I'm going to go they turn a motorboat into a motorboat.
Just because that's the easiest thing to do, to turn into a motorboat.
That's what I'd do. Marine engineers turn there and turn a motorboat into a motorboat. Just because that's the easiest thing to turn into a motorboat. That's what I'd do.
Marine engineers turned rubbish skip into a motorboat
and now plan to cross the English Channel in it.
So the skip is 200 kgs.
And this idea came about when they were having a couple of post-work drinkies,
as you do.
And it's over 500 kilometres long, the English Channel,
so that is a fair distance to go.
We had some people help us once turn a bouncy castle into a boat.
Remember that?
Yeah.
We went across Lake Taupo.
Oh, yeah.
And they did it really well.
They put sort of like a little mattress underneath it.
Yeah, almost like an air mattress that they could attach the motor to,
so you could kind of go across.
It was really well done.
And you didn't sink?
No.
No, surprisingly we didn't sink.
Wonderful.
No, Charles was his name.
Yeah, Charles.
Wonderful Charles.
Yeah, he was awesome.
One of those people that could invent anything.
Right.
And if he didn't have it, he would make it for himself.
Yeah, that's right.
Wow.
I'm not one of those sorts of people.
So was he the person that made sure you stayed afloat?
Yeah.
Was he?
Yeah, I think he worked for a place called Lancer or something.
That's right.
And it was quite good because we were like,
hey, we want to get this Bowser's Castle across there.
How do we do it?
He's like, leave it with me.
I'll sort it out.
Wow.
And then he did.
That is wonderful.
Yeah, we did one test thing in a pool, remember?
Then it sunk.
It sunk.
Charles was back to the drawing board.
And he was kind of frazzled there.
We were like, oh, God.
I saw him running around.
Next news story is...
Qatar is getting so hot they're now...
Are they doing an alley?
It's getting hot in here.
You know what happens then?
Which is inappropriate for a nightclub.
Yeah, it is.
I'm going to say Qatar is getting so hot they've now decided to pursue a full-time career
as an Instagram model.
Qatar is getting so hot they're now air conditioning outside.
So they're installing air con in
sports stadiums, for example,
especially ahead of the 2022 FIFA
World Cup, which is going to be held in Qatar.
And also, I was reading
in Qatar they have a summertime ban
where people who need to work outside
aren't allowed to between 10am and
3.30pm because it's so hot
and it's actually dangerous for outside
workers. 9pm there at the moment, it's
35 degrees. That's
crazy. At 9 o'clock at night.
That is crazy. So yeah, the
air conditioning is pumping outside in Qatar.
At 4pm
tomorrow, it's going
to be 43 degrees.
That's so hot.
Your shoes would melt to the
footpath. Well, that's so hot. Your shoes would melt to the footpath, wouldn't they?
Well, that's a dry heat.
Right.
Over there, isn't it?
I've never been there.
Why am I saying it's a dry heat?
What an idiot.
I can't imagine it's quite dry over there.
And the final news story.
Why **** is 2021's most exciting tech trend?
Oh, what's the tech trend?
I don't know.
Falling asleep while watching Netflix.
It's a bit of a trend in our household.
I'm going to say why I try to figure out how to avoid relentless onslaughts of LinkedIn email requests.
Oh yes, that's good.
It's the most exciting tech trend.
Why digital clothing is 2021's most exciting tech trend.
So this has been introduced.
So in real life you can have sort of a minimalist wardrobe,
but online your digital self can have hundreds of clothes.
So these companies have launched where there are 3D designers and you purchase clothes online and they will literally digitally put clothes on you.
So, for example, influencers can then go on Instagram wearing the coolest clothes that they don't actually own.
It's just 3D designers have put it on their photo,
which is crazy.
Why?
Because I don't know.
I really don't know.
Don't ask questions like, why?
No, but to be fair, they did say they're trying to introduce it
as a solution to fast fashion,
because fast fashion is just churning through
and people are using clothes and chucking them out,
so it's kind of a solution to fast fashion because fast fashion is just churning through and people are using clothes and chucking them out so it's kind of a solution for that but it also means that you know
people eagle-eyed influencers people are eagle-eyed people on instagram will look at the influences
and be like nah that's been photoshopped on that's what i'll be doing anyway because you'll probably
be able to one day go i like that and print that off on a 3d printer that's probably how you'll get
your clothes i still don't get my head around 3D printing. I don't know how,
how does something like that...
And they could, anyway, yeah.
That's crazy.
Me and Harvey were saying
they were printing guns on 3D printers.
Wow.
People can do it at their home.
Wow.
I just don't get it.
How does it work?
I can't even get my laptop
to connect to the printer at home
over the Wi-Fi.
Yeah.
Honestly, I can't.
Just connect to the bloody brother MC210444.
I know, what a struggle.
Hey, thanks, Drew. That was a wonderful episode of News and Beeps.
You should be proud your family will be.
Latest from the update from Wellington
with the potential COVID situation
it is the hits you got, Jono and Ben.
Broadcasting live
and mostly awake. Jono and Ben
New Zealand's breakfast on the hits.
Cold this morning.
It is a cold morning.
But you always feel like, because we're in Auckland, you always feel like, when we complain about that, it's like, oh.
You know how much colder it's going to be down south.
Yeah, it'll be minus, wouldn't it?
Yeah.
I'd imagine, in Vikargal.
It's like, we have no right to complain about the cold.
Really?
Yeah, can we be compared to people that are getting up in Southland this morning?
We may have no right, but we do have microphones.
Which gives us a huge advantage to complain about the cold.
It does, but I always feel like, come on, guys.
On a mass level.
Come on, guys.
It's colder than when Ben ignores calls from his mum out there.
And he does that regularly, doesn't he, Ju?
Yes.
Poor lady's leaving voicemails.
He's like, I'm never going to clear them.
But anyway, keep warm.
That's a nice bit of advice, isn't it?
Thank you, Jono.
Now, tomorrow we've got a very exciting show on advice isn't it thank you Jono now tomorrow
we've got a very exciting show
on the hits
this Friday
Jono and Ben
that's us
step by step
take it step by step
back to when the hits
first started
the early 90s
oh talk to the hand
because the face
ain't listening
oh I said
this Friday
Jono and Ben
sorry no sorry
the face was actually listening
it was just I thought I'd try and use a 90s phrase.
Oh, I see, I haven't heard that one for a while.
Yeah, sorry.
Are we going to be getting jiggy with it?
It's going to be a 90s nostalgia show bigger than the Friends reunion.
Oh, my God!
Booyah! Take a chill pill.
Oh, yeah, I am pretty chill.
Well, I was just reading the script.
Oh, anyway, we're going to have the greatest music from the 90s.
This is how we do it.
And all the great stars from the 90s.
Beverly Hills 90210, no you didn't.
Oh, yes, I did.
You are all that and a bag of chips.
Oh, no thanks, I've just eaten.
That 90s Show, this Friday with Jono and Ben.
It's going to be aight.
Oh, please stop.
Booyah.
Oh, he's still going.
That's fat with a P-H.
Yeah, no, I get it.
Stop talking.
We are really excited about tomorrow's show.
Playing and reflecting back on the 90s when the hits all started.
But we're struggling because our show's only three hours long
and there's so much great music from that era that we want to get in.
Yeah, like we, Ben was like, there's so much music
and I keep thinking to myself, well, yeah, it was 10 years,
so there's going to be a lot of music to choose from.
Oh, yeah, hundreds and hundreds of songs.
We're trying to whittle it down to sort of, you know,
20 odd to play over three hours.
So we've got two that are a little
contentious that we haven't settled on and we'd like to throw those over to you next yeah we need
to choose one of these two songs and we need your help what song are we going to play tomorrow out
of these next two songs uh do you want to hear on the radio we're basically going through a decade's
worth of now that's what i call music volumes one through nine and uh picking the playlist tomorrow and we need your help shortly
i have a little uh i got it wrong yesterday because you asked where that
it was from and i thought it was scooby-doo but it wasn't it was home improvements i'm sorry
tim the tall time taylor it was uh it was more of a scooby-doo maybe it was from, and I thought it was Scooby-Doo, but it wasn't. It was Home Improvements. I'm sorry. Tim the Tool Time Taylor.
It was more of a Scooby-Doo.
Maybe it was the same actor.
Yeah, so that was Home Improvements. I'm sorry.
It came through on the text afterwards. Multiple times, too.
You idiot! It was Home Improvements.
Resign! I think that's
a worthy cause to resign over, too.
I'm sorry about that. Another problem we're having
heading into that 90s show tomorrow
is picking the music.
There's a lot of music over 10 years.
A lot of crappers as well, we won't lie.
But there's also songs that you're like,
yeah, maybe you wouldn't listen to every day now,
but to hear one day again, you're like,
or maybe that was, you know,
to reflect on the 90s,
you kind of want to hear some of these songs.
So what we wanted to do is we wanted to create a show
of songs that had some significance to everyone. Oh, we wanted to do is we wanted to create a show of songs
that had some significance to everyone.
Oh, you know, this is when I popped my first pimple
or this is when I failed my driver's licence test.
I was listening to this song.
Or this is when I was practising my kissing on my cricket bat in my room
and my mum walked in on me.
I was listening to this song.
So right now we've got, and we're going to do this again later,
and on our social media as well, we've got a choice between two songs.
And we're going to put one of these songs through tomorrow to play.
One you're very passionate about, mainly because you know all the rappy bits.
Oh, well, that was, yeah, it was a dream of mine.
And that's from TLC, Waterfalls.
Great song.
My friend Bevan thought that was Don't Go Jason, Waterfalls.
I was like, really?
They want Jason, Waterfalls to leave, don't they? I'm like, it's Chasing Don't Go Jason Waterfalls. I was like, really? They want Jason Waterfalls to leave, don't they?
I'm like, it's chasing, not Jason Waterfalls.
He's like, it's been a nice party, but...
Well, don't go Jason Waterfalls.
I've got a family I've got to go see.
So Ben really wants TLC Waterfalls in there.
And I wanted a song which will really get the mood going at 7.30 in the morning.
Do you want the mood going at 7. in the morning do you want the mood going
at 7 30 in the morning sure maybe you do but it is an iconic 90s song this oh i'll make love to
you great song you want me to uh and i just mainly i just want this bit for the guy in boys to men
with the deep voice yeah baby he's like yeah girl i'm sorry I went and cheated on you, girl.
But if I keep saying girl, will you forgive me, girl?
Come on, girl.
You know it's right, girl.
Make love to me, girl.
And, you know, I would forgive the guy if he was talking to me like that.
I had such an amazing deep voice.
They were awesome boys to me.
And so we're on the text machine right now, 4487, or give us a call.
Oh, Andrew, that's what song
I mean it feels
like we should
put both through
absolutely Ben
you're right
but it's only a
three hour program
we could have
run this for
48 hours non-stop
but that would
be ludicrous
that would be
wild
it would be a
reckless broadcasting
decision
but we do have
prizes too
we got our
90s prizes
Millennial Max
went and picked
up a whole bunch
of toys
That he had no idea what they were yesterday
So why don't we give away some chatterings
To someone who votes
For what song goes through
Alright give us a text right now
4487 which song do you want to hear played tomorrow
On our 90s show it is the hits
Listen here's some news that you can fill in your day with
When you're stuck in an awkward silence with a colleague around the water cooler.
Okay, what's happening overnight?
Well, we've got Rachel Jackson-Leeson with us this morning from our news department.
The department is just her.
It sounds good when you call it.
Or the news bureau, I quite like as well.
Yeah, I'll go with that.
There's some big news that happened overnight.
The black caps you were just saying before,
what an awesome result to win the Test Championships.
That is some good news that we needed,
especially if you're in Wellington and you're waking up and you're in Level 2.
Hopefully people turned on the TV,
hot bus 5, and you saw that amazing result.
Number one Test team in the world now.
I know not everyone on the show is a fan of cricket,
but it is a really big deal.
She's looking you down the eyes there.
You can't get any joy from this result.
It's a really big deal for the country. If I say that was cool, no, you can't get any joy from this result. It's a really big deal for the country.
Don't even go, that was cool.
No, you can't say that.
What I do appreciate about cricket, though, is their fast-looking sunglasses.
Oh, yeah.
Why do they all wear those fast?
Why that design?
They're not going fast at all, though.
Maybe they stick on the face a bit better.
I don't know.
They look illicit, those sunglasses.
But all of them wear the same design. Yeah. I don't know. It's a good point. I don't know. They look illicit, those sunglasses. But all of them wear the same design.
Yeah.
I don't know.
It's a good point.
I don't know.
I don't have the answer for that.
We're trying to get Ben an interview with one of his cricketing heroes today.
Right.
Should be possible.
Yeah, hopefully.
We'll see.
But John, I was trying to put some, like, yeah.
I said, if we get an interview, you have to ask all the questions that I type for you.
Oh, no.
So it'll be like, you know, if you were a vegetable, what vegetable would you be?
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Things like that.
And of course, yesterday there was big news about a traveller from Australia coming to New Zealand who went home to Australia and tested positive for COVID-19.
What's the latest update overnight?
So everybody is waiting to see if this traveller had the Delta variant.
So that is the one that's much more transmissible, 30 to 90 times more transmissible.
So those results are expected back today.
It could be this morning, it could be any time.
So we're standing by for those.
There's also Wellingtonians have to get tested today.
So there is thousands and thousands of people need to get themselves to a testing site in the capital.
Which I heard was a shambles yesterday.
Yeah, it doesn't look good.
And the main testing site in the capital is fully booked today.
So you can't even get there if you do want one.
So they're having to have other options for people.
There's an extra station now operating around the place,
Tauranga's Bay Park Stadium.
Oh, because two of the people that were with the person who contracted COVID,
they live in Tauranga.
Yep, so they've had to open another station there just in case. But in the capital
that's the biggest
one down there is that thousands of people
need to get a test because when this guy was visiting
Te Papa for the hour 45 or
whatever it was, they say there were two and a half thousand
people that passed through the museum
just in that time. Jeez, that's
knocking off Te Papa in record time, isn't it?
An hour 45, mowing through.
Yeah, true.
There's a lot to see there.
It's probably a three-hour journey, I would have thought.
I thought it was good, promising, at least.
There are four of the close contacts for this person
have tested negative so far, which is awesome.
That is great news.
And also they announced yesterday that he had,
the Australian tourist had had one of the vaccinations.
One jab.
So that means that it kind of reduces
the amount of kids spread, right? I think it says it reduces
your and your symptoms so you don't get it as bad.
Ideally they want people to have two, obviously.
But there are 19
locations of interest, so he really
did make the most of his time in Wellington, went to a lot
of eateries, went to a lot of places, so that
full list is on the Ministry of Health website, and
anyone that was there needs to isolate
and get a test. So as I say, it's a really really busy day in Wellington and an anxious wait to see if any of
those people that were at any of those places do come back with COVID. I liked it on the news last
night because Simon Dallow read all the places that he'd been to but if you just tuned into the
news and didn't know what it was about it's just like Simon Dallow was just recounting someone's
weekend. Then they went for brunch at this place. Went to Barry O'Grady's. Yeah, there they went.
What is this? It was funny because
initially they announced three locations.
They were like, oh, he just went to the hotel in Te Papa.
And then he obviously
kept remembering where he'd been. Oh, by the way, they kept
sending them texts. Oh, by the way, I went to
Mary's Cafe. That was wonderful. Didn't you go there?
Oh, yeah, I did. Oh, yeah, I did. Yeah.
Actually, I saw a lot of Wellington.
It was wonderful. But anyway.
They say that he actually did use the COVID Trace app, which is awesome.
That's great.
Because tourists don't have to.
I saw that on the news last night.
They're encouraged to do it.
But you don't have to.
I mean, half of New Zealand aren't using that app.
Well, this is a wake-up call, isn't it, to any of us who have been a little bit slack
on that front, that you really need to keep it going.
Because as you've seen with these 19 places he's gone, you could have been anywhere.
It's a great reminder and for people like
me actually, I'll admit I've slagged
off and I shouldn't.
Ben's reliable, you're good. I'm trying to be.
Every time he does it I'm like, nerd.
As I'm holding up
outside the thing.
Women is nerd.
No, no, no. I shouldn't say that.
It's the right thing to do.
It's all scanned today.
And hopefully we get some more positive news.
We'll update you with the results come through.
COVID, you know what I mean.
Good news out of Wellington today.
Thank you, Rachel Jackson-Lees.
It is the hits.
You got Jono and Ben.
Spy.
The what's up.
Spy.co.nz.
All right, she's standing by.
Getting ready to tear the celebrities a new one.
I never know what you mean to be tearing a new one of when you say tearing a new one,
whether it's a piece of refill or... Good point.
Tear them a new piece of bread from Breaker's Baker's Delight,
you know, a nice tiger loaf or something.
Yum, delicious.
Yeah, here's Ju with Spy.
So Taylor Swift is currently going through the process
of re-recording her first six albums
because one of the big music managers in America,
Scooter Braun, basically bought a record company
and with that came the rights to Taylor's music. Now he's also Bieber's
manager. Bieber and Ariana Grande. He must have got some relentless
emails from you when you were a teenager, Scooter Braun. Did you punish him? I followed him
tweeted him. He was the next step after Justin
but basically it meant that if Taylor's music was used
commercially he would make the money from that.
And so he's now spoken out about it and says he regrets buying Taylor's music catalogue
and how it's all panned out.
And that all of what happened has actually been very confusing
and not based on anything factual.
He said, I don't know what story she was told,
but I asked for her to sit down with me several times,
but she refused and her team refused to buy back the music.
Which is interesting because from her side, she said that she's not been allowed to buy back the rights to her music which is why
she's now re-recording all of her first six albums the problem with the disagreement is there's always
two sides to every story isn't there and i mean taylor's probably gone it's far cheaper for me to
just re-record the songs probably better than i would have back then true what she's doing true
and it's actually making people a lot more excited
because she's releasing additional songs from the albums
that didn't make the original cut, you know?
She gets two bites of her cherry.
Yeah.
Doesn't she?
She's getting to make more money off the music she's already recorded.
Totally.
Genius.
Totally.
So it's actually probably worked out better for her than it would have.
Do you know what?
Someone's bought all the rights to the Jono and Ben radio shows from the last 20 years.
So we're going to go back and re-record from the start.
Oh, wow.
We're going back to day one starting Monday.
Oh, wow.
We're going to re-record all the bits the year before.
Do it better.
You know, just slightly better.
God, I hope it's better.
Jeez.
And in the Friends reunion, one of the biggest revelations was that Jennifer Aniston and
David Schwimmer, who were Ross and Rachel, actually had crushes on each other in real life,
but it never happened because they were both in relationships at the wrong times.
Although there was a lot of canoodling, wasn't there?
There was a lot of canoodling on couches.
Yeah.
Blatantly, callously in front of the audience.
I know, I know.
And they thought that no one noticed, but they were like, oh, we all noticed.
You just thought we didn't.
But anyway, she's spoken more about it, and she said she would proudly say she did the honky tonks with David Schwimmer if it had happened.
And she said, trust me, you would know if it happened because I would be very proud about that.
And she also said that Courtney and Lisa would know if it did because they would have heard about it and they can vouch for her.
So it definitely didn't happen.
I don't think anyone's ever said they've proudly hooked up with me.
Your wife?
No.
I don't know if she'd go on public record.
Oh, yeah.
On public record, yeah.
She would say to me, but she's like, don't tell anyone that.
Yeah, true, true.
And it is five from where you can head to thehits.co.nz.
New Zealand's breakfast.
This is Jono and Ben on The Hits.
Y'all have a good morning.
Just gone seven o'clock.
If you're just waking up this morning, you may have heard in the news
the Black Caps, the cricket team, won the World Test Championships.
I've been told not to keep banging on about it, so I won't.
No, I haven't told you to keep banging on.
I've told you on previous cricketing occasions.
You can bang on about it today.
I don't want to do too much about it, but I am really stoked for the Black Caps.
Ben, a huge cricketing fan.
In particularly of the five-day format of the game,
the most boring and drawn-out format of the game.
Hey, well, look, they won it.
They were the world test champs, so that's awesome.
Huge achievement, though, isn't it?
Someone put it in perspective before, you know,
a country of only five million, a team of five million,
taking on India, too, a team of one billion.
Yeah.
To have a victory like that.
And that is their national sport in India.
Yeah, and even in Australia as well.
It's their national sport, particularly in summer at least,
all around Australia.
So it's a huge achievement.
And as a good friend, a dear, dear friend,
I'm going out of my way to ask producer Humphrey
to go out of his way and try and organise an interview
with one of the Black Caps just for you.
Yeah, but then you're saying that I need to ask questions that you've written,
so I don't want to do that.
I don't want to.
They're just on top of the world right now.
They don't want to know, you know,
if you're stuck on a desert island,
what CD would you bring along or something?
No, it was actually what body part would you eat first
if you're going to do the desert island one.
Well, those are the conditions.
Do you want to talk to one of your cricketing heroes or not?
I don't know. It's just going to be awkward for both of us. Well, those are the conditions. Do you want to talk to one of your cricketing heroes or not?
No, don't.
It's just going to be awkward for both of us.
Anyway, next on the show, producer Juliette, speaking of awkward,
you shared a story off the radio yesterday about what happened on a family trip.
Yes.
Very controversial.
A lot of parents make threats like this, but they never follow through on them. Oh, totally.
Full respect to you, parents.
Or I don't know if they should
have been reported to Child, Youth and
Family Services or something, but we'll find
out what it is next. That's the hits you got, Jono
and Ben. Add these two men together
and somehow you get three quarters worth
of a normal man. The hits with
Jono and Ben for breakfast. Just saw
no new cases of COVID-19
in the community overnight, so
that's fingers crossed we get some
continued good results on that front.
My fingers are crossed Ben Boyce
and for all the people of Wellington as well
it's a bit of an anxious time isn't it? Not having to line up
and get COVID tests and things like that
and obviously the system
is under pressure, isn't it?
I think there's one main COVID testing centre
in the middle of town. Oh really?
Yeah and it was under the pump yesterday.
And Rachel Jackson-Lees was saying earlier this morning
that it's been fully booked today for people wanting to get tests as well.
So I think they're going to have to put up some more pop-up testing stations.
As an alternative, what you can do is stick a fork up your nose at home
and just get the sample and send that off to...
No, it's not.
Dead hole's a great option as well.
Just gargling it.
You know, just see what that does.
Oh, no. See if it kills the bugs. Oh, God. But, Dead hole's a great option as well, just gargling it. You know, just see what that does. Oh no.
See if it kills the bugs.
Oh God.
But you know,
fingers crossed,
you did right, Ben.
Next,
something happened
in the middle of the night
which I think would have
happened with most people
who share a bed with someone.
It's an incident
that happens at three
in the morning.
You're both not
in the ideal state
to tackle that incident
and we'll tell you
what it is next.
It is a hit.
You got Jono and Ben?
Yeah, yeah, no.
Yeah.
Nah.
Yeah, nah.
The whole movie. Yeah, nah. She'll be right and at the end of the you got Jono and Ben? 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.
Now, something happened in the middle of the night, and I'm sure
you probably suffered the same fate as... The cricketers
won? Oh, excuse me.
Keeps plugging these crickets. What happened in the middle of the night?
I don't... It's the one
day I'm allowing Ben to talk about cricket, because the
Blackcaps have won the World Test Series.
He gets into you. And he keeps using every opportunity to just segue into a cricketing result.
Sorry, sorry, I'll wait.
Now I've forgotten what I was going to say.
You guys are right.
You woke up in the middle of the night.
I really should check the cricket results on Crickinfo.
That's what you said.
Oh, we could win this.
You know when something in the house needs to be tended to
or one of the kids is clearly rustling,
you need to go and deal to what they need.
So you're both awake.
But then you get into a debate in the middle of the night,
three in the morning, over who's more tired.
Do you do that?
Yeah.
I'm more tired.
No, I'm more tired.
And then you kind of give a back catalogue of what you've been doing to make yourself so tired.
We do that even during the day.
Who's more busy?
I'm more busy because I'm doing this.
And there's no official measurement of the tiredness either.
So no one's right or wrong.
No one can actually go, well, you know, on the tired Scoville, you know, the tired pressure.
Maybe there should be a tired pressure machine that you rate more.
But you go round and round.
Oh, I've been doing this.
And then, oh, you come back.
Oh, I've been doing this.
That made me tired.
And I was working over.
Oh, that made me tired.
Yeah, but you didn't have to do that, did you?
Yeah, I know.
I know I didn't.
I went out on Friday night.
Well, you didn't have to.
Oh, yeah.
But then you just end up going round and round.
And then by the time you're sort of sitting at 3.30 in the morning in dead silence
because no one's decided who's more tired
you could have just gone down and done the thing
that needed to be done
isn't that a funny situation
but it is one of those things
particularly when you're in bed and you're like well it's quite warm and I'm cosy
I really don't want to get up and do this thing
another great trick
which I'm sure producer Beehumps who just had a baby, you might be employing
this, and never would you
publicly admit it, so I'll admit it on your
behalf, is
pretending to be asleep when
something's going on
and you are doing some
Robert De Niro Academy Award winning
acting. Acting you'll
never receive the accolades for. No, because
no one needs to know that you're acting. No one ever can know.
Just give me, just blink twice if you've done this
Ben Humphrey.
I won't tell you what he just did. No, no, we'll never
know, yeah. But that's the skill, Juliet, when you
become a parent, that's the thing. Just get good
at pretending not hearing things. I didn't hear that.
I'm sorry I didn't hear that, yeah. I feel like I'll be
very good at that. Didn't your dog vomit
and you pretended not to see it?
So you just put like.
Oh, everyone just, yeah.
It's like, yeah.
And everyone kept walking around it.
Like, I was in the morning and I was like, oh, we'll get this.
I came home that day.
I was like, the family had done the same thing.
I was like, well played, everyone.
Well played.
I did exactly the same thing at five in the morning.
I'm like, oh, I guess I didn't see that.
Yeah.
I made sure the dog was fine, obviously.
But I was like, I guess I didn't see that.
Yeah.
Just practice professionally ignoring things.
That's a good key to getting through life.
We've got $5,000 up for grabs in about six minutes' time.
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 Award Association.
We play it every morning at 7.45.
We tell you five words.
You tell us the words that pop into your head.
And if your words match up with ours, you win five grand.
This is my favourite part of the show.
Actually, my second favourite part of the show.
My favourite part of the show is when we finish talking on the radio
and we silently all clear our emails during the songs and ads.
It really saps the energy out of the room.
But then, Olivia, you're going to bring the energy back for us in Tauranga.
Morena.
Morena. Great to have you on, Liv. Do you know, we actually bumped into some All Blacks yesterday. but then Olivia you're going to bring the energy back for us in Tauranga morena morena
great to have you on Liv
do you know we actually
bumped into some
All Blacks yesterday
they were outside
doing promotional work
outside the casino
and they were like
we listened to Five Words
it's endorsed by the All Blacks
did I say that
yeah
I didn't hear that
I was having another
conversation with them
alright
I thought I was there
the whole time
no you were
they said we listened to...
Really, did we?
Yeah.
Love it.
So it's endorsed by the All Blacks.
I feel like it was great.
I feel like I was there the whole time.
Olivia's saying that's great, Ben.
I was there the whole...
Like, I don't feel like you...
Can you say that's great again, Olivia?
That's great.
That's great.
The All Blacks love it.
We all love it.
Everyone's loving it.
We don't have to pay millions in sponsorship costs like the Weet-Bix, do we?
We just get the free shout-outs.
Anyway, love, we want to try and win you $5,000.
You've got to choose between Ben, producer Juliet, or myself to head into the soundproof booth.
I'd love Juliet, please.
Good idea.
Yeah, good idea.
Safe pair of hands, I reckon.
Yeah, she's heading into the booth.
What's not a safe pair of hands is Jono Pryor.
He now has to walk around and control the computer, the desk, the radio desk here.
Yeah, I'm actually silently crapping my pants here, Olivia, over this.
All right, Olivia.
So now I need to get this music.
That's the one.
All right, here is your first word this morning as producer Julia is safely trapped in the soundproof booth.
Savalloy is your first word.
Savalloy. What did you say?
Savalloy cream? Oh, no, not Savlon. Savalloy is your first word savalloy what'd you say savalloy cream oh no not savlon
as in like the cocktail sausages yeah well yeah but bigger version well bigger version of those
right yeah savalloy is like a cocktail sausage on steroids isn't it yeah yeah it's really hard
to give a describe what something is without saying the word.
Okay. Savoy, it's like a
sausage.
Can I come back to that one? Yeah, like a sausage.
That was what I was going to say, but I didn't want to influence you
anyway. Is that what you're wanting, Ben?
That's what I was thinking, but I
don't want to influence you in any way, because I don't know what
producer Juliet's going to say. But I was thinking
what? I think of course she's thinking sausage too.
So that's what I was thinking. To be honest of course she's thinking sausage too. Oh yeah, so that's what I was thinking.
To be honest, if anyone else is thinking anything apart from sausage.
Cheerio maybe is another one.
Yeah, I don't know.
Word number two.
Golf is the second word.
G-O-L-F, like the sport, golf.
Oh goodness.
It's golf club, golf ball.
That looks like golf ball.
Golf ball, nice.
I like it, golf ball. Sl looks like golf ball. Golf ball. Nice. I like it. Golf ball.
Slice is the third word.
Slice.
Oh, goodness.
It's taking me back to the deli again.
Sliced meat.
Oh, sliced meat.
Yeah.
Okay.
Oh, meat.
Sorry.
I've got to be specific.
Sliced meat.
Meats with an S?
Sliced meat.
Okay.
Sliced meat. Can I ask a question?
Producer Bee Humps
Did you come up with all of these words
While you were meat shopping
At the supermarket last night?
Just on our way to golf
Yeah
The next word
Salami or golf cart?
No, the next word is phone
Phone is the next word
Oh my goodness
These all have lots of options.
Straight away, phone charger comes to my mind,
so I'm going to stick with the first thing, phone charger.
Charger, phone charger is a good one.
And finally, your fifth word this morning, horoscope.
Horoscope.
Oh, my goodness, horoscope.
Oh, goodness.
This, yeah.
What?
That is so wide.
That could be anything
Like straight away I'm just thinking Libra
Because I'm a Libra
But that's not to say that Juliet is
What is Juliet going to say?
I don't know
I don't know actually what star sign she is
Well listen I'll tell you what she's permanently thinking about
It's smashed avocado
Okay I'm going to lock in star sign
I think it's a good bet.
That's a good, that's a safe bet, star sign.
Is it possible, gentlemen, to go back to that first one?
Because I feel like I'm not confident with that first one.
Savoy.
Oh, you're going back to Savoy.
Yeah, I don't know why I'm going sausage and cheerio now.
I'm sure I heard Jonathan say cheerio or something like that.
And that's what I'm so used to seeing in the jelly is the cheerio.
Oh, so you're going to say Cheerio?
Yeah, but I'm not too sure.
Oh, my God.
No, let's just stick with sausage.
Okay.
And if I end up agreeing it later.
This has been a rollercoaster.
Okay, so we've got...
I'm a mess, guys.
I'm everywhere.
I'm nervous.
Oh, it's tough when you're on the spot.
Savoy sausage, golf ball, sliced meats, phone charger,
and horoscope star sign.
Those are your five words, Ziggy.
Let's get producer Julia out and all the very best. Okay, from the sound and Horoscope Star Sign. Those are your five words. Let's get Producer Juliet out
and all the very best. Okay, from the soundproof
booth, she emerges
springing out there like a jack-in-the-box.
Juliet, we're going to get into it quickly.
I think you might match up today.
Okay. No pressure. Here we go.
First word this morning, Producer Juliet,
Savalloy.
Sausage. Oh!
Yes, well done. Well done. There was a bit of debate over that. Was thereage. Oh, yes. Well done.
Well done.
There was a bit of debate over that.
Was there?
Yeah, it was.
Yes.
Cheerio popped up in the mix, but there you go.
Okay.
Golf.
Like the sport, golf.
Ball?
Yes.
Well done.
Wow.
We are two from five.
Slice is the third word this morning.
Slice.
Not sliced.
No, just slice.
You can stop breathing, Olivia.
We can hear you breathing.
I'm going to say bread.
Oh, damn it.
We had meat.
Oh, sliced meat. Okay. meat. Oh, slash meat.
Okay.
And our final words this morning.
Phone.
Bill.
Oh, that was a hard one.
There were so many options.
Charger.
And horoscope we had as well.
Horoscope?
Yeah, horoscope.
Ooh.
Star sign?
Oh.
Three from five.
Not a bad effort there, Olivia.
Yeah, not bad, actually.
Oh, sorry, Olivia.
I think it's okay. You sound like a bubbly human being, Olivia. Yeah, not bad, actually. Oh, sorry, Olivia. I think it's okay.
You sound like a bubbly human being, Olivia.
I'll tell you what.
It is what it is.
It's a hard game.
I'm going to give you something, okay, Olivia, and that is...
$5,000?
Oh, what a generous offer, Johnny.
Well done.
You've won $5,000.
No, we can't do that.
That's how it works.
Well played.
Listen, she's just fresh back from deep diving in the ocean of celebrity news.
She also came out with some undersized crayfish too,
which the Ministry of Fisheries won't be happy about.
No.
But let's not focus on that because, Juliet, what's been happening?
So Art and Matilda have welcomed their second child.
On Sunday night, Matilda gave birth
to a little girl called Autumn
Green, which is quite a cute
little fitting name. Beautiful name. I love it
how some people are working in the last name
to work with the first name.
Teresa would have been good too as well.
Teresa Green? Yeah.
Kanye West did it too with Northwest.
Usain Bolt named
one of his twin sons Lightning or Thunder or something like that. We almost did it too with Northwest Usain Bolt named one of his twin sons Lightning
or Thunder
or something like that
we almost did it
because Indy
her full name is
Indiana
but we were just
because my mum's
last name was actually
Jones
so we were like
oh maybe we should
keep my mum's
maiden name in there
and then we were like
oh Indiana Jones
it's not that I didn't
like the movies
but it's not like
I'm a passionate fan
of Indiana Jones movies
so it's like
oh actually no
that probably doesn't
quite work
true
and it also kind of reminds me of Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom their daughter is called Daisy passionate fan of Indiana Jones movies. I was like, oh, actually, no, that probably doesn't quite work. True.
And it also kind of reminds me of Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom.
Their daughter is called Daisy, so they're like Daisy Bloom.
So it's all quite fitting.
Sorry, you probably said this, but I was not listening.
I won't lie.
Was this their second child?
Second child.
They've got a son called Milo already, which is very exciting. It's awesome, mate.
Congratulations to them.
They're awesome people.
They're living a farming rural life now, aren't they?
Yeah, just north of Auckland, I think they are.
Yeah, good on them.
Gigi would be the hottest farmer, wouldn't he?
Ah, green.
Imagine him out there, bloody.
I don't know.
What would they be doing?
Pulling a calf out of a cow or something.
Imagine his hand inside a cow.
How hot he would be.
That's quite a conflicting sight to see, wouldn't it be?
One half of it would be hot and one half
And Britney Spears is going to be addressing
the court this afternoon, or in a few hours
New Zealand time, during a hearing
about her conservatorship and this is the first time that
she's addressing the courts by
herself usually because the
conservatorship is that her father sort of
makes all of her decisions for her, whether that's money
finance, like schedule
and medical and everything like that.
So she's going to be giving her own thoughts
on whether she still wants her father as her
guardian. But her boyfriend
did post a story on Instagram wearing a free
Britney t-shirt and so he's
obviously wanting her to
stand her ground. This must be why she hasn't publicly
said anything, probably because of the courts.
Which makes a lot of sense.
Why would you do a tell-all interview when you've probably got a
legal thing to go through?
Remember when that was all the biggest thing for that one week?
And we were all like, free Britney, I'm not going to stop
until Britney's freed. And then, well,
we all got on with life, didn't we?
She's got a court case coming up.
Hopefully it works out for her.
Tell you what worked out, this segment, Juliette,
stellar one. Send that off to the World
Celebrity News Awards.
After 8 o'clock on the show, we've got our 90s
show tomorrow. We're playing nothing but 90s music.
We're talking to 90s stars. We need your help
in designing the show, so please help us
out. And we've just got a message from someone
from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
Is it Will Smith? Probably
not. We'll find out after
8. It is the hits.
New Zealand's breakfast. This is
Jono and Ben on the hits. Just gone eight o'clock
on your Thursday morning. Thanks for hanging
out with us this morning. Overnight,
well, last night, the flag bearers
for the Olympics for New Zealand were announced.
So we've got Hamish Bond, a rowing
legend, and Sarah Hirani. She is
the Black Ferns woman skipper.
So a really great honour. Very emotional.
She was very emotional on the news last night
accepting the, being bestowed the honour.
Which is, to be honest, it's an honour.
I don't want to take that away from them.
No, that's what someone says when they're about to say something
that feels like they could take it away from them.
So don't.
All it is, is it feels like me,
that's extra training they have to do.
Holding the pole.
It's upper body.
It's more upper body training.
But that'd be like saying you're getting a gold medal and you're like,
oh, I had to climb up like it was one extra step after my running race
to get up to the top of the podium.
I know, but they're walking at a painfully slow pace around an Olympic track bend.
And they've got to hold the flag steady, the pole steady.
It would be a good workout for your arms, wouldn't it?
It really would.
And that's extra time at the gym,
taking their focus off what they're actually doing.
It's a great honour, so well done.
I actually did that for the Commonwealth Games for Namibia.
Oh, because the kids would come out as well, right?
Yeah, no, it wasn't actually part of that.
It was the practice round the day before.
So they have like a rehearsal, and it was Team Namibia,
and some guy got sick of holding the flag so he passed it on to me.
And tell you what, it's an arm workout.
You don't factor that in when you see a flag bearer.
Everyone's like, oh, isn't it such an honour?
It's like, oh, jeez, those arms are pumping.
Speaking of an honour, Ben, surprise for you.
Guess what?
What?
The Blackcaps won the World Test Series overnight.
Yeah.
You are a cricketing fiend.
Yeah, I do like my cricket.
He wanders around in nothing but white clothing.
He looks like a Backstreet Boy from 1995 permanently.
We've got an interview with one of the players live from the UK.
Oh, wow.
I said to Ben Humphrey,
we need to make this little boy's dream come true
to talk to one of his heroes, Colin de Gromholm.
Oh, yeah.
You happy?
Yeah, I'm very happy.
I think you should see the smile On his face
Try not to smile
Like a little child
At Christmas time
I want a great life
Look at him
So the only twist is
You have to ask
All the questions
I write for you
No
They're fun questions
No they're not
The question is
How does it feel
To be world champion
That's fine
Is that one of the questions?
What's your favourite
Finger on your hand?
Who's your favourite
Family member?

Tomorrow we've got a special 90s show.
We're taking the hits back to when it all started in the early 90s,
playing nothing but 90s music, talking to 90s stars.
It's going to be a lot of fun.
Yeah, it was a great period in life, wasn't it?
We put down the can of hairspray from the 80s.
We were satisfied with the size of the hole in the ozone layer we'd created over that decade
and picked up sloppy hair gel.
Everyone dousing their head in greasy hair gel.
And we want to play a little game.
A bit of a game show.
A TV theme tune game show right now.
So we do have prizes from the 90s.
We've got rollerblades.
We've got an eight magic ball that sort of predicts the the future i don't know how many important life decisions were made
off that magic we've got a walkman uh with alanis morrissey because we've got some 90s prizes so
we'll pick out something for the winner of this game so give us a call right now we've got some
as i say it's all based around tv shows from the 90s okay oh 800 that hits the telephone number

of your life. Love it. And Nicole
is who you're going to be competing against this morning.
Morning, Nicole. how are you?
Good, thanks. A little bit sick, but

rona, but we're alright. Not the rona.
Never want the rona.
Okay, so what we're going to do, we're going to start off with
a TV theme
tune from the 90s and just say
yell out if you know it. I think we'll be able to pick your voices
hopefully. So here it is. Have a listen. First to guess the answer, this TV show from the 90s and just say a yell out if you know it. I think we'll be able to pick your voices hopefully. So here it is. Have a listen.
First to guess the answer, this TV show
from the 90s.
Can't even hear it.
Gary can't hear it. He's hard of hearing.
Nicole, what do you think it is?
I'm struggling
with that one actually
Okay, well
You two could possibly be the worst contestants
We could have got on for this show
I love it, Beverly Hills 90210
It's always hard to hear down the phone line
No runs on the board so far
So listen, are you familiar with this story
All about how a guy's life got flipped
Turned upside down, he was playing some basketball
On a court with some guys who were up to no good
This sounds very familiar Now this is a story all about how Guy's life got flipped, turned upside down. He was playing some basketball on a corner with some guys who were up to no good. Okay, well, here's the thing.
This sounds very familiar.
Now this is a story all about how my life got flipped, turned upside down.
Oh, they said it in sync.
One apiece.
In sync and ironically another band from the 90s, a group from the 90s.
Nice.
Okay, here's the next one.
You got it, dude.
What was that?
The iconic saying, you got it, dude, little girl with the thumbs up.

Gary, she has picked you up and wiped the floor with you this morning.
I'm sorry, my friend.
That's all good.
Yeah.
It's all about the taking part, not the winning.
Oh, what a great attitude.
We're going to send you guys both something from our 90s collection of stuff.
No, Gary clearly didn't win.
He's even conceded, saying it's not about the winning,
and then you're trying to make him a winner.
All right.
I won't be sending you anything at all, Gary.
This is my co-host.
Winning in life, Paul.
He's winning in life.
Okay.
That's what I meant.
He doesn't want to walk him in from 1995.
He's already winning.
Okay.
And he clearly said, it's fine, I lost.
All right.
Ben all trying to make everyone a winner.
Alright, well thank you anyway.
