John Owen 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 John Owen Ben, you can have them anywhere, anytime. Welcome to the John Owen Ben podcast. Hey, Wednesday the 11th of August 2021. John Owen Ben here, we are back.

We are doing it. The podcast. Now I did mention a new function, a new addition to the EFTPOST terminal. Oh yeah. Which allows the option of tipping or not tipping the person behind the counter who's provided the service. Now

we felt the beady eyes, these peering eyes of the employee staring down as you decide to hit either yes or no. Ben Boyce, you opt for a clumsy option. A clumsy. Oh, I've just hit the, I can't remember if it's no or clear, whatever I do. Oh, just, oh, and then it's gone. Yeah.

Too late. Can't bring that back. They probably can. They're like, oh, you know, we can just restart. Oh, no, it's too much hassle for you. It's swapping the card again. I have to get it out of my wallet again. Well, it avoids confrontation.

I'm not big on confrontation. No, it's not one of your favourite hobbies, it avoids confrontation. I'm not big on confrontation. No, it's not one of your favorite hobbies, is it? No, I don't really like it. Well, no, it creates confrontation. Because then clearly this guy's just putting on like a one-man pantomime about how he accidentally hit no, so he didn't have to give you a tip. Oh, you wouldn't believe it. You got your arms out.

I wanted to, too. They're like, will you still get it? I wanted to give this guy a tip, but I hit no. You got your arms out. I wanted to, too. They're like, will you still care? Ah. I tell them the whole reason. Oh, I wanted to give this guy a tip, but I hit no. What a schmuck. Yeah. Anyway, wanted to know, where do the tips go? Because obviously they go straight into the bank account of the owner of the restaurant

or whatever. Have you got some update? I do. I do have an update. I was going to say, it's kind of like hitting no is kind of that moment that some people do in the lift, where you're running towards the lift and someone's like, oh, oh, oh, sorry, mate. They're like, they haven't even attempted to open the door as the door's closed. They look like they're about to go open the door again.

They're like, oh, oh, sorry, I didn't see you. You're like, no, you clearly did. I'm right here. The doors are shutting in front of my face. I'm running towards you like this. I can't. Hold that lift. And they're like, oh, yeah, no, oh, oh, sorry, mate, as the door's shut.

You're like, oh, you know, well played, well played. You never want to hold the lift when someone says hold the lift. No, you're like, oh, yeah, no, oh, sorry, mate, is the door shut? You're like, oh, you know, well played, well played. Yeah, you never want to hold the lift when someone says hold the lift. No, you're like, oh, there'll be another one. Yeah, lifts keep going all day, all day long. But the follow-up from this FPOS topic that we raised is in the US and the UK, you can tip the server personally for excellent service. We know that, don't we? Yeah. But in New Zealand, the tips go into a pool

which are divided up twice a year amongst the staff. But given the high turnover of waiting staff in the hospitality industry, most staff actually leave before that's paid out. I guess we don't rely on them here, right? No. And the text goes on to say the money is shared out between

the whole team, including the chef who's the text goes on to say the money is shared out between the whole team, including the chef who's normally on a triple rate of the waiting staff. Seem fair to you, question mark? That's what the text says. That's not me saying that. That's just me delivering the message. So yeah, that's the tipping system. So maybe you're accidentally hitting no.

Is, you know, saving people. Oh, yeah. You're out there. You're saving human beings. That's not how this came about. You saved a dolphin. Every time you hit no, you're saving a whale or something. Yeah, great.

I like the way you look at it there. It was really, yeah. I don't know if I am, but I really appreciate it. Have you ever hit yes on the tipping function? Not in New Zealand, no. No. No. Obviously, you know, like if it's the customer,

it's like, we're all going to do it. We'll do it. Like I do it, go travel through the Zealand, no. No. No. Overseas, you know, like if it's the customer, it's like, are we all going to do it? We'll do it. Like I do it, go travel through the States, whatever. I'm like, okay, we're doing this. Yep, we're doing this. Are you sure we're doing this? Are we? This is what you want to do?

Okay, yeah. Everyone's doing it. How much? But I could just give, no, no. Okay, you sure? Yeah. That's the thing. It was just tell me how much.

Don't give me that. Yeah, but I guess it's the option of it. You know, like that's the thing. I was like, well, is it Don't give me that. But I guess it's the option of it. You know, like that's the thing. I was like, well, is it 10% or is it 15% or is it 20%? They're like, well, if you really love the service, you pay. Because it felt like it used to be 10% and then all of a sudden it was like, no, no, no, no one does 10% anymore. It's 15 to 20. You're like, okay, is that what we're doing?

Maybe it is. I get very, very, yeah. Do you hear this conversation with the waiter? Is this what we're doing now, is it? Oh, okay Oh, but do you want Okay, no Because I was just going to go 10

No, no one does 10 Normally with friends and family over there You'd be like, oh, okay So you kind of get the lay of the land Of what is, you know Because you don't want to offend anyone We should do We should do at the topic tomorrow

The biggest tip you've received As a waiter Oh, yeah You don't seem overly sold You feel I've covered this ground We should do at the topic tomorrow, the biggest tip you've received as a waiter. Oh, yeah. You don't seem overly sold. You feel like we've covered this ground sufficiently? No, that's got to like it. You know, it narrows down the field of people that I haven't been a waiter and I've already received a tip.

But I mean, it's, you know, there might be people out there. So, yeah, good. We'll give that a go. Will we? Oh, yeah, we can. Yeah, enough. That's what we're doing. I'm going to put in can. Yeah, enough. That's all we're doing. I'm going to put in the running sheet right now.

Is that what we're doing? Yeah, tomorrow I'm going to put in the biggest tip you received. Okay. Okay, that's happening. That's going to be a thing tomorrow. Okay. Yeah, I'm going to bump out the vaccine lady we're going to talk to. She's gone.

Yeah, she's gone. This is more important. Yeah, the biggest tip you received. I can't think of anything more important than the biggest tip you received. Yeah, no, okay. Not even the vaccine lady. Okay, you're gone. Gone. Okay. Enjoy the podcast. Jacinda Ardern joined us than the biggest tip you've ever seen. Yeah, no, okay. Not even the vaccine lady. Okay, you're gone. Gone.

Okay. Enjoy the podcast. Jacinda Ardern joined us on the show. Hilary Berry too. Always fun seeing Hilary Berry, isn't it? She's awesome, mate. She is so cool. Although we were very conscious that when she was working here in the afternoon,

she was less than satisfied with our cleaning of the studio every day. I thought we'd do an okay job. I thought we'd do it. You're like wiping down the bench and stuff. Yeah, I do. I wipe away the filth. But, you know, so we've been cleaning up like two teenagers have had a party on the weekend and mum's about to come home.

Yeah. So the studio is very clean for Hilary. And the Prime Minister of New Zealand, Jacinda Ardern, is on hold right now. Is that our dear friend, Jacinda Ardern? That was a really standard answer on the phone. I got used to it. Are we dear friend category? Oh, yeah, why not?

On that note, I just want to say thank you for the invite. We got the invite for the book launch for Clark's new book, so thank you for that. I was thinking, did we put out wedding invites yet? And I don't know about that. No, I just want to say that. But also, speaking of the wedding invite, it's a busy time over summer.

We don't know what weekend. Do you want us to block out any time on the weekends or anything? I love how you think that I've got everything sorted, it's all organised, and obviously now we just need to put dates out, if only that were the case. Yeah, it's not like she's running a country or anything. Yeah, that's not like we're ever going anyway. I was just having a bit of fun. But yeah, I wonder that this the case. Yeah, it's not like she's running a country or anything. Yeah, that's not like we're ever going.

Anyway, I was just having a bit of fun. But yeah, I wondered that this last couple of weeks, because obviously the Olympics were on, and it was awesome. And I saw on your social media you're giving great love towards our athletes. But it must be hard as a prime minister to have time to watch the Olympics with everything going on. It's better that there's been a couple of days where I've had it on the background over the weekends while I was doing papers. But there were a couple of days where I've had it on the background over the

weekends while I was doing papers, but there were a couple of occasions where up on the ninth floor of the Beehive, I do have a TV so I can watch the house, what's going down on the debating chamber. Oh, you've got some sort of CCTV footage. I may have flicked it over to

Simrolling on occasion. Being a Prime Minister it's like being a school principal but on steroids, isn't it? Because you have to be across all of the sporting achievements, you have to be across all of the academic achievements It's not a bad comparison and you have to

discipline pupils that are members of Parliament Sometimes they get sent to detention, sometimes they get expelled. Yep, and sometimes they have to wait outside the principal's office. Actually, speaking of schools, I saw you at a school a week or so ago and you made a mistake of asking the kids how old

do you think I am? Amateur, wasn't it? Yeah, what was the answer? It wasn't so flattering, I guess. It was brutal. 62. Now, were you feeling self-conscious about your looks? Were you like, hey, kids, how old do you think I am? I did.

I went straight for the eyes. I thought, oh, God, the wrinkles are off. I haven't slept in three days. Yeah. Thankfully, there were a couple of other kids that, you know, immediately were like, no, you know, 50. Yeah. that immediately were like, no, you know, 50. Hey, now there's been a,

it's kind of been a festering topic over the last few weeks. Mike King with Gumboot Friday and the funding involved around that. Now, you ended up giving him $600,000 and you had this to say. Hey everybody, you might have heard the news today on the AM show, the Prime Minister announced that she had $600,000 worth of funding for Gumboot Friday. And I just want to express my gratitude on behalf of all the families of 25 and unders out there

who are now going to get the opportunity to access the 4,285 sessions that the $600,000 is going to pay for. Now, Mike, the nicest thing Mike King said about you in the last two months prime minister we have been working really hard on um a solution because some of the delay that we've had is for gumboot friday people are accessing support online and there's just a couple of things that that we wanted to help support some some innovation to the way gumboot friday is working to make sure that those young people who might sometimes be quite young are well supported as they access care because they might be doing it without even family members support. So we've just been working really hard with them to find ways that you know that everything's working well and it's working

safely and this is a bit of funding while we work through some of those issues as well. There's constantly things that we have to try and resolve and fix, and some things are harder than others. Pandemics, for instance. But it's just government. Yeah, well, you even had a little bit of a sniffle about a week or so ago. You're off work for a day, and you reckon it was because of something picked up at daycare. More than likely.

Which every parent can relate to. It's like a petri dish. Yeah, yeah. They hear it, honestly. I know. I've got to follow my own advice. You know, I'd spend a year and a half telling everyone if you're sick, stay home and get a test.

So, stay home and get a test. It is a festering cesspit of disease, the daycare. You turn up and you're like some kid with green just running down over his top lip and you're like, mate, come on. Yeah, it is. And it's just one bug after another as well. Has Niamh got a bestie? She has a new one most days.

Oh, she's mowing through them. Someone's her new best friend. Because there's a lot of pressure on that parent, I would imagine, if the parent of Niamh's best friend. Oh, no, we're friends. Why are you friends with the Prime Minister's kid? Oh, no. No,, we're friends. Why are you friends with the Prime Minister's kid? Oh no. No, it's on rotation. I'm not

always sure whether or not her best friend is actually a human child either or whether it's an object. Is she at the age where she has any concept to what you, I guess it'd be hard for anyone at that age to know what you do for a job. No, no she doesn't. But I've never told her either. You haven't

told her what you do? No, no. Really? No, no, she doesn't but I've never told her either. So you haven't told me what you do. No, no No, no, no, she's gonna get a hell of a surprise Are you proud of the job that you do like it's not because you like oh don't tell anyone I want her to grow up feeling like just like every other kid And so I'm trying to do that for her as long as I can. Yeah, you don't want your kid to feel too special I haven't she like who are these weird men in suits that follow us around? She just calls them the boys.

Oh, I haven't told any of my kids that I'm Ben from John on Ben, but that's because I'm embarrassed to be, I'm embarrassed that I'm Ben from John on Ben. But anyway, if I was prime minister, I'd be telling everyone, that's why you're in that job and I'm not. But it's so good to catch up.

Keep safe and hopefully get no more sniffles and we'll catch up with you soon. Talk to you soon. Take care. Wow. Oh wow. Can you make Jano and Van go Wow. Wow. Wow. It's Oh Wow Wednesday. Oh Wow Wednesday.

We're looking for a call to wow us. We've been quite selective on what could potentially come through. Producer B Humps is screening some calls, and he's trying to put someone through that he thinks is going to wow us. Now, previous contenders of Wow Wednesday was Sarah, who had remembered the quadratic formula from school. It's minus B plus minus the square root of B squared minus 4AC all over 2A.

Wow! Wow. I'm going to say wow. I'm going to say wow. I'm going to say wow. That's okay. Yeah, I remember my first landline phone number from 12 years ago. Are you going to wow that? Yes.

So that was Sarah who's wowed us before. And we have on the phone Rudy, Judy, Judy, Judy. How are you? Good, thanks. How are you? We used thanks, how are you? We used to sing a song about National Party leader Judith Collins, and it would be the Rudy, Judy, Judy, Judy! Anyway, she hasn't been back since the election, to be honest, has she?

No, it's probably that song. Now, Judy, it is Wednesday, and we do Wow Wednesday, so apparently you've got a call, something that happened, a story that could wow us. I do, I do. I do. So, oh gosh, about 13 or so years ago, I received a phone call in the middle of the night from my husband.

We'd been married for a good 10 years by this stage, from his girlfriend giving birth. Wow. What? Wow. That is a wow. You have wowed us. That is a hell of a phone call. What time in the morning is this? Oh, it would have been like midnight-ish.

So you were still together at that time? Happily married. Happily married. I didn't even realize that there was a problem. Well, not, you know, his girlfriend giving birth. And yeah, I answered the phone and she asked to talk to my husband and I thought, that's not a voice I know. And so I said to him, how was it?

And he said, oh no, it's just a mate. And I'm like, okay, why would your mate want you to be at the birth? And he denied it for years and years and years. Oh, so you stayed together after this, not knowing any different? A little bit, yes. I had a son and we had our own little family and I figure people make mistakes and

maybe we could work through it. Didn't work out that way. Gee, what a call to receive. So you must have known deep down that he was lying Oh yes, in the beginning, absolutely When he said, no, no, it's not my baby And I'm like, yeah, right, come on Did you ever meet his other lady? No, never

What a life-changing call to get It completely changed my life It changed my outlook on people in general because his family knew. Oh, my gosh. All the way through. That's tough. To top it off, about four years later, his girlfriend gave birth to another little girl. So that's the day I left.

Even after this first instance, they still had another child together? Yeah. Well, you sound like a really forgiving and wonderful person, Jenny. You didn't deserve this. Do you have trouble trusting people now? No, no. I went and got a lot of help and, you know, worked through it with a counsellor for myself because it did ruin my family

for a while. It ruined my outlook on life and made it very hard. If it wasn't for my family, I don't know where I would have been. But life is way better now. Oh, that's awesome. Do you keep in contact with your ex? Not even close. No.

Not even close. I'm glad that you are so positive about everything now. And I guess what an unusual call to get. But they do say things happen for a reason. So maybe this is what was meant to happen, just a strange way of finding out. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it was the most interesting thing

that's happened in my life, I think. It's the most interesting thing that's happened to our radio show. Yeah. Judy, what's your bit of advice to someone who's maybe a victim of cheating? How to get over it? How to move on with life?

What would you say? One thing. Oh, gosh. It's not about me. It was about him. I went into the marriage eyes open. I believe that you can work through some stuff and I think when you know the time is right

and you have it in your mind that you want to leave, you need to leave. End of story. Well, thank you, Judy. Thank you for sharing that with us. That is a wow Wednesday. A mic drop moment, isn't it? Judy, take care of yourself. Thanks so much for chatting to us. you, Judy. Thank you for sharing that with us. That is a wow Wednesday. That's a wow Wednesday. A mic drop moment, isn't it? Judy, take care of yourself. Thanks so much for chatting to us. Thanks, guys.

Gee whiz. So Judy's... She's awesome, mate. She's so good. What a wonderful lady. Judy's husband's mistress phoning in the middle of the night saying she was giving birth. What a way to find us.

Didn't even know that. What a crazy story. Wow Wednesday. That wowed us on wow Wednesday. Now, the humble EOS terminal, which has done us so well for so many years, hasn't it? My mum Annie Pryor, I remember her as a child, when I was a child, not her as a child. She would put on a sash, an FPOS sash, like she was in a pageant, a beauty pageant, and head to pack and save, and then teach the fine shoppers about this new technology. Oh, really?

She was at the forefront. She was at the forefront. She was on the ground, mate. She was the coalface of the FPOS. The turn of the FPOS. The revolution. Yeah. But now they've been... Put away your checkbooks, people. They're like, what? I've been writing checks for ages. Check this out. Oh, what's this devil device?

Yeah, I don't like it. I like the checkbook. I like the check. I like to write a check. It took about 10 years to convince everyone that it was okay. I'm still trying to convince my dad that you can buy stuff off the internet safely as well. But there's a new addition to the EFTPOS terminal. I don't know if you have noticed this. It's the would you like to give a tip function. So it goes tip, question mark, yes or no.

It sometimes happens, yeah, you're right, at restaurants, I guess they've got it. I had it at a petrol station yesterday. Oh, really? I was like, what am I tipping you for? Oh, I've literally done all the heavy lifting out there. Oh, I've never seen that before. Yeah, and then he's kind of looking over,

like you can feel the pressure on, you know, tip or not. How does this person rate my service? And you always feel obliged to go, yes, but then you have to enter the figure of the tip in as well oh so then you're like oh i'm trying to sort of lean it towards my chest it's probably a dollar fifty or something you know i do you tell you i shouldn't probably say that but i do that oh oops i've just pushed clear and then you just run and then you

just carry on through oh well it's too late now. We can't go back. That takes a wonderful performance, though. Oh, no. I've hit. No, whatever it is. Whatever it is that gets you. How do I go back? Oh, just don't worry about it. And then you're like, oh, we're two part.

You know. Oh, pickets for the overseas people that come. They're used to tipping. Ah, you're true. No, I will get you in on this one. Do you? No, no. I'm smarter than you. Oh, no. I'm smarter than you.

Oh, no. Even though I look dumber than everyone because I'm like, I don't know how this works. Did you not read the screen in here? They also do surveys sometimes on it. They have one that goes, Customer Satisfaction Survey. A couple of times we go,

Are you satisfied? And I'm like, Well, I've just got them. It bamboozles me. Well, you're always going to go satisfied when someone's staring at you with puppy dog eyes, aren't you? Exactly, yeah. It is. When you see the tip, it's like a puppy staring at you.

And if you don't put it in, it's like, oh, you didn't donate 50 cents to the SPCA bucket. So you're a tipper, yeah? I am a tipper. It's by guilt, though. It feels like extortion tipping, doesn't it? It's the sort of lording it over you, looking, oh, what's he's he gonna do and does it even go to the people that you want it to go to if you've had uh you know oh well done you've provided wonderful service i'd love you to get tip or have you just paid another ten dollars for your meal that you weren't going to pay yeah

does actually go to the tip go to the hospitality star four four eight seven on the text uh some people may know about that or annie prior youror, your mum, may know about it. She knows the answer. She can work her way around the Air Force's machine, my friend. She'll let you push her buttons. Jono and Ben, just like family. The family members you're ashamed of. Tonight on TVNZ1

7.30, Give Us a Clue is on and joining us in the studio, she's back in the studio again, Hilary Barry. Oh, thank you so much for having me. This feels like a little sort of home away from home. I know. It was nice to see you, but before you came in, I was like, Hilary's coming to tidy up the place because we always used to leave the studio a bit messy for you when you were here

in the afternoons. Yeah, it's looking spic and span. I can see things have improved, Andy. You took on my criticism. We tried to. We're wiping on the daily too. A lot of wiping going on here. Good, good. No, it was the day that we came in and you'd get off that confetti gun. Oh, that was, yeah. That was, honestly.

Oh, come on, yeah. Honestly. It was the straw on the camel's back. I'm sorry. It really was. Now, ruthlessly, they've stopped access through your swipe card to the building. We just tried to use your swipe card to get in and nothing. There's no entry now.

Well, that was embarrassing. I feel like that was a complete setup. So, of course, I did have a swipe card to the studio. And you guys are going oh give it a go give it a go it'll still work it'll still work we love you we really love you you're still you're still part of the hits family do you know it happened because we got a tvnz show coming up uh very very shortly and they gave us swipe cards for tvnz uh for the show So it hasn't even played. We're still making the show. Firstly, mine said Ben Joyce. So I was like, that's close enough.

That's a cool name, though. Cool name. I'd like to work with Ben Joyce. And then secondly, we went in there last week. We're still making the show to do some work. I was like, oh, cards are no longer working, guys. We've been downgraded. The show hasn't even started.

Yeah, so you're trying to make me feel better. Yeah, I am. I'm trying to. But you've got full access to TVNZ. Yeah, that's true. I'll let you guys in. Thank you. That's right. Now, a new show's starting tonight called Give Us a Cl better. Yeah, I am. I'm trying to. But you've got full access to TVNZ. Yeah, that's true. I'll let you guys in. Thank you. That's right.

Now, a new show's starting tonight called Give Us a Clue. Yes, it is. And we're very excited. It was so much fun recording it. I've always been a big fan of charades. I've never played it sober, actually. It's one of those games. Is it as fun sober?

Yes, it's a lot of fun when you've had a couple. And it's something that we often play, sort of Christmas, New Year holidays. Oh, you do it at home? So it's something that you put, yeah, right. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm that kind of person. Are you quite competitive? Ben's quite shocked, actually. I don't wonder if you're...

He's seen someone who actually genuinely plays charades in their real life. That's me! Are you competitive? Is Hilary Berry competitive at home? I'm so competitive. Are you one of these? Okay, yeah. With board games. Is Hilary Berry competitive at home? I'm so competitive. Are you one of these? Okay, yeah. With board games.

Yeah, right. With charades. I'm not sporty at all, so I'm not kind of competitive like that, but the minute a board game comes out, I'm so competitive. And my family were really worried that the true competitive Hilary would come out.

Oh, we'll be out on the TV show. Have they been hiding competitive Hillary for years? I've been hiding competitive Hillary for 35 years on New Zealand television. It sounds like a Trumpism. There was crooked Hillary, now there's competitive Hillary. A different Hillary. It's not pretty, I can tell you. Competitive Hillary is the one during Monopoly that throws the board in the air

and says, bugger the lot of you. You've been doing a good job of keeping up the facade there. I know. There's one episode where I actually turn on my own teammates and start yelling at them. I don't know that they can edit around it. Cut away there's this beep, beep, beep, beep.

Cut away, it's ugly scenes, ugly scenes. It looks like a lot of fun because it's kind of the show's been on before a few years ago, right? Yeah, a long time ago. It's kind of a retro show. Now Paula Bennett, former national mp is hosting the show yeah and tom sainsbury uh wonderful comedian is the opposite team leader to you that's right that's right so there are teams of men teams of women and paula bennett

is in charge of her she's like the speaker of the house that's pretty cool that she's gone from you know tell you what i wouldn't mess with her oh really you think i'm a stickler for the rules i took her on a couple of times when i was arguing the rules, and she was not having a bar of it. And she can keep me under control. She's used to going toe-to-toe in Parliament, so confrontations probably know. What is she doing now, Paula Bennett? She is in real estate.

Yeah. Is she? Yeah. She'd be a good real estate agent. Oh, yeah. Truly, you would not mess with her. Hilary's like, I had to buy four houses. I didn't even want the houses.

Competitive Hilary wanted to win the show. She bought four houses. Looks like a lot of fun. Give us a clue is on tonight. We wanted to play a quick game of give us a clue with some of your former and current co-stars. We want to give you some clues and see if you can work out who we're talking about.

Oh, yeah.

Me too. Hope this show lasts longer than our game. Ben and Jono call this show Jono and Ben. Breakfast on the Hefts Now I know I have to do this early in the morning Because I know that you say it We lose all our South Island audience When I talk about my dog going to doggy daycare You know

Well then we'll just If you do it early in the morning We're just going to lose our early South Island audience Oh we're losing them early Yeah true It's probably better to do it later in the show Do it five to nine By the way

Here's the story About my dog That you'll judge me on Two days a week I take a dog We've got a big White fluffy Samoyed of a dog

Bo He's got a lot of energy You know what I appreciated I saw Bo the other day In your car And he was in the back seat Sitting upright With his back against

The seat like a human being Yeah he loves that He loves to look up Have a look around He's going to wind down The window and have his arm hanging on the door. G'day, mate. Where are we going? What's going on?

Oh, he loves a ride in the car. He loves, oh, where are we going? Oh, I get to come. You know, he loves that. Is he a face out the window dog? Oh, if you wind down the window, he's a face down the window dog. Yeah, definitely. It's funny.

No dog, is it? Yeah, they love it, eh? It's like you can't breathe when you do that. Have you tried that? Yeah. It's really hard to breathe. Well, I'm going back out there. He comes back in and he's like, I'm going back out there.

It's wild out there, guys. Yeah, well, the other week we were actually away and we had someone looking after the animals, but we thought we'd still take them to doggy daycare. He loves going to doggy daycare. And Amanda felt bad, my wife, that we weren't there for that week. So he was like, hey, we're going to book them. We can send them on a wilderness retreat as part of the doggy daycare. So they put them in the back.

That's like a little class. Your permission slips. They all go off and go a little group activity. The wilderness retreat sounds expensive. Yeah. Yeah, well, that's what I said. I was like, but you wouldn't tell me what it was. But yeah, she says, oh, the dogs will love it.

But then I was like, well, how do we know the dogs have been on this wilderness retreat? That was my question. I was like, well, how do we know the dogs have been on this wilderness retreat? That was my question. I was like, well, hang on. You come back there because it could be a great play from the people that go, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, they love it. Right through the Waitakere Ranges, running along the beach of Pia. Because Bo's not going to come home and go, geez, guys had a great day.

This is the ultimate business model. Oh, my God. But in their defense, because I called Amanda out of that and then she got me, showed me photos and they take photos of them out there.

Green screen? They might have an elaborate green screen set up? They showed me photos of them out there. He did look like he had a wonderful time on this retreat.

But you're right, you've just hacked business. You'd be like, well, do you want to order the three course roast meal for lunch for your dog? Do you really love your dog? The dog can't come home

and tell you whether they had roast lamb for lunch? Or some biscuits or something like that, but I was like yeah, fortunately he loves the place that we go to, so it's great. But yeah, I was like, oh, but maybe this is, I thought I'd found a little loophole in the system, but they hadn't quite. They'd come to, they'd thought about this. There's only one

letter between doggy daycare and dodgy daycare, Ben. And I think we embark on the latter. Embark? Oh, that's good. So many buzz. Great. Good. New Zealand's breakfast. This is Jono and Ben on the Head.

Good morning. Welcome along to the show. Good to be back with you on a Wednesday morning. Just saw a nice little thing I thought I'd pass on for the parents out there on social media. I saw this before. What I love most about cooking three meals a day and cleaning up afterwards is probably the four minutes of free time you get left before you have to go to bed. Doesn't that sum up parent life a lot?

I know. You're just an unpaid personal assistant. Uber driving, cleaning. Probably sums up life in general, to be honest. It does. Yeah, I would say so. Yeah, I spend a lot of time cooking as well. I'm like, where's all the time going?

Yeah. Like, pretty much when you think about it, life is just filled up with chores. Yeah. And then you go to bed. You know? And then you die. And then we do it all again the next day a lot of the time, you know?

Yeah, just chores on chores on chores. Yeah, let's all stop. Let's let ourselves go. Yeah. Okay. I already have. Many years ago I got a very exciting show

Coming up Jacinda Ardern She's the Prime Minister You might have heard of her She's doing pretty well Yeah She's going to be with us After 8 o'clock

And Hilary Barry As well Hilary Barry From Seven Sharp Has got a brand new program That starts on television This evening Yes

You're going to tell you More about that After 7 o'clock It is the hits You've got Jono and Ben It's Savage Love It is the hits Jono and Ben and now uh ben hubbard producer brie hums you come back in here yesterday sends a text he's like i've had on good authority we're going into lockdown again i good authority did not come out of my head i said i've had it from two sources neither

the reputable yeah and then uh i was preparing for lockdown news last night. And then I was talking to people at the school gate, and they were like, oh, I've heard about a lockdown. I think it was on TikTok from what I can gather, because there was something this morning going, everyone, everyone today, you've got the news about lockdown from TikTok or something. Yeah, right.

It was basically referencing that. Let's just all agree TikTok's not a reputable source for lockdown information. If you go back and read my texts, as I did say, not from reputable source for lockdown information If you go back and read my texts I did say not from reputable sources But Two different rumours from different crowds And they weren't connected The two people weren't connected So you're like leave it

And I messaged just before I went to sleep last night Where's this lockdown Nothing back from Behance I saw that and went I'm going to sleep But yes Speaking of sleeping Don't you realise I saw that and went, I'm going to sleep. But yes, speaking of sleeping, don't you realise, do you realise, I don't know at what stage in your sleeping career you do this, but you transition from a child to an adult.

A child, you can have your bed pressed against the wall, and for some reason when you're an adult, it sits in the middle of the wall. You know, do you notice that? Yeah. Children's beds are kind of crammed into the corner, like Kanye West sleeping in that stadium. I suppose so. Yeah, I was just thinking, our kids' beds aren't in the corner.

Oh, well, thanks for ripping apart my theory. Yeah, yeah. I was just thinking, so I was kind of like, oh, they're not actually in the corner. But I guess as a kid, I probably did, maybe. Mind you, your your child Indy, she's a 45 year old, isn't she? Yeah, she is. She's got a little table there with her books and a little light and stuff like that. She does her knitting and crochet.

That's just next to the wall. A little candle and probably some incense. I remember it's funny with bed positions. I remember staying at a friend's house once and they were in Hamilton and the spare bed the head where you'd lay your head down was next to the door so like if I poked

out I could just look out the all the way I was like this is an unusual bedding position they really take up a lot of real estate either way no matter where you have them in the room but I mean that's essentially I guess that's what you got in the bedroom to do but you know they do take up quite a lot of it

you don't like making the bed with the pillows, don't you? Is that your job when you get home from radio? Do they leave the bed unmade or does Amanda make it when she leaves? She's pretty good with that. I was pretty shocking. I was just kind of like, you're going to sleep in it again. Like, I'm quite a tidy person, but I just like, yeah. Speaking of, you started the show speaking about chores.

That is one of the most pointless chores. You make it in a matter of hours. You undo it and then you do it all over again. And when you get in there, it's like, well, I'm just going to pull up the sheets anyway. I'm kind of like, I can survive with this. Unless you've thrown them all over the room. I'm kind of like, you can just kind of pull them up. What about you, Juliet?

I am the same as you guys. Because as soon as I get home from work, I kind of just get into bed anyway, like midday and just like go on my laptop. But I'm not a bed maker. I'm the same. I'm quite a tidy person, but I just don't see much point making my bed. It's, you know, three to four minutes of your day. Add that up over a lifetime. Oh, I know. As you say, I've got like 17

display pillows that I need to put back on as well. That's in the corner. That's adding another two minutes. They sit there and they put back and they put back. Does each pillow have its own position on the team? There's normally a way that Amanda would probably want. There's an arrangement. Yeah, but I'm like, well, just leave them onto the side and then we don't have to do this

whole thing where you put them back on. So they can just sit over there. And if anyone comes over, they can sleep on the floor. You know, 17 pillows. They can lie on. It's wonderful. Hey, the A to Z of New Zealand is next. We call every town and city in New Zealand and a. We call every town and city in New Zealand. And a beautiful spot we're calling next.

On the West Coast. And we must thank our US correspondent, John Lovegrove, who's prepared all of this for us. Yeah, we'll find out what his research got us next. The A to Z of New Zealand. We call a different town or city in New Zealand. We call one a day. And we've been working our way slowly through all the towns and cities in New Zealand alphabetically. Now, we must give a big shout out to U.S. correspondent and listener to the show, John Lovegrove, based in Oregon, who has been a day one on the A to Z of New Zealand.

We've had some shaky weeks where Ben's lost interest. I did I did I'll be first to say I kind of lost I lost momentum for it but he kind of came on and he was like yeah you can do it mate

you can get back in there here's some prep and research he's like those people at the Olympics who give if you're running a marathon they will chuck a polystyrene cup of water

at you yeah just to give you some more sustenance and John actually even like we can't not not do it because he's just basically done all the research for us yeah so if we didn't do it now it would just be well we've got no excuse no there is no excuse it's right there and uh thanks to John

we've got research about a wonderful west coast town and boy the west coast scenery is rugged so are the people aren't they you shake the hands of a west coast person a coaster it's like shaking the hands with someone wearing astroturf mittens that's how hard their hands are they eat concrete for breakfast and they eat some fruit for morning tea just to help their digestive system after that concrete meal but we're going to go through right now um to a wonderful part of the west coast moana and yesterday we spoke to uhette, who's from the Moana School. Morena, Lake Brunner School. Annette speaking. Morena, Annette, how are you going? Good, thanks. How are you?

There is. We're just grateful that you give us a flick every now and then. Why are you ringing Lake Brunner School? We're ringing every town and city in New Zealand. It's a little thing we do in our show. You might have not been flicking to our show when we do this. I have flicked a little bit. Oh, you flicked to one of those?

You're part of it now. The A to Z of New Zealand. We call a different town and place each day, and we're doing it alphabetically. Right, and you're up to Moana. We're in Moana on the West Coast. And it's beautiful here today. I heard a vicious rumour that

your school was one of the first to get 4G broadband. That'd be right. That's pretty cool. On the West Coast? Yeah. So you must have been running some high speed internet back then, baby. We don't get everything first, but that was one of them.

Have they put you onto the evil 5G yet? I'm not actually sure. And so what is it about Moana that keeps you there? Well, you need to come here, then you'll know. Is it beautiful? Oh, absolutely. Absolutely stunning. I could send you a picture out of the office window

or the library window. That we get here quite quickly for the high speed. Absolutely. Okay, well, why don't you email it to me now, jono.prior at nzme.co.nz, and we'll keep talking, and then in real time, we'll look at your view out of your school window. So what is there to do in Moana on the West Coast?

Plenty in the summer. If you look at the lake when I send it to you, there's lots of water skiing, biscuiting on the lake, you can fish, there's a few nice beaches along the coast. We're not far from Punakaiki. Have you fired that off? I have.

Oh, okay. Now, our 4G is probably not as good as your 4G. Yeah. Oh, Annette Walker. That's it. Oh, here we go. Here we go. Okay, now we're going to open this together.

This is the image that Annette is looking at right now out of her window in the office. Oh, my God, Annette. Oh, wow. That is awesome. Was it worth the wait? It was worth it. Actually, it was better than I thought it was going to be. Yeah.

That's amazing. That is a crystal clear lake. It looks like glass you're staring at and the reflection of the mountains and the forest onto the lake water. It is beautiful. Is that what you're staring at right now? Admittedly, yes actually, yep. That is stunning. So your school is right on that lake side, eh? 100%.

Well, we. Annette, listen you've been an absolute treasure. I'm pleased it was worth it. It was definitely worth it. Really do appreciate your time. Thank you for flicking to us every now and then. Hey, come to Moana once. Yeah, I'd love to.

Give us a shot. Yeah, I'd love to head to Moana. You go and keep safe. You can strike some trails too. Yeah. Annette's there. Might do a campground. You've got a campground.

Yeah. You can do hunting, fishing. You can do absolutely everything. Great talking to you. You have a great day You're on the hits John, I'm Ben, OMG I want one 8.30 this morning, you'll find out

Should we tell? What do we do? Are we telling people now what the prize is? This feels like a conversation that could have taken place During the news then I don't know if I was breaking some sort of embargo Or something by saying what it is Today's big decision OMG I want one Book a batch voucher for you and the kids I don't know if I was breaking some sort of embargo or something by saying what it is. Today's big decision.

OMG, I want one. Book a batch voucher for you and the kids. So the family to get away valued a pretty decent amount. Or a romantic staycation minus the kids. So there's the conundrum there. Uh-oh. Kids or no kids. Did he just announce the details of the prize?

That was embargoed till 7am. What? Was it? Yeah. No. No. I think it was on social media. I think I did see it last night. It was.

But yesterday it was the big decision between Udis for the family and the $500 hunting and fishing voucher. And my daughters were very surprised that someone chose a hunting and fishing voucher. Oh, they didn't go to the Udis. You could dress your family and you all look like giant blankets. Yeah, they are very go to the Udis. You could dress your family and you all look like giant blankets. Yeah, they are very comfy. Hunting and fishing. But that's the choice that people get to make, and there's a lot of people out there that

would love that. Yeah, the big decision, if you want to text OMG to 4487, Stace, Mike and Anika could be calling you this afternoon. And then you just choose between option A, option B. And those options again, Ben Boyce? You get a book of voucher for you And the kids A family weekend away

Or a romantic staycation minus the kids That's the conundrum Can I give you some options now You choose from I'll give you option A or option B Would you like option A To wear see through pants for the rest of your life Or option B

To wear not see through pants for the rest of your life, or option B, to wear not see-through pants for the rest of your life? Okay. Well, no, probably not, though. I was going to say, do I get to wear underwear and all that sort of stuff? But no, but if I've got the choice, then I won't do it. You're going to take option B? No, yeah. And I'm going to take this option right now, playing Dua Lipa Levitating.

Here you go. Is that an option? Because I'm playing it. It is the hits. It's Dua Lipa Levitating. It is the hits. It's Dua Lipa levitating. It is the hits. You got it, gentlemen, Ben. Scrolling through your feed.

Here to present the news you've missed overnight because you were being lazy sleeping. Here's Ben Boyce. What's happening? Well, Greta Thunberg, she is a young lady who's very passionate about the environment, and it's pretty awesome, and she made news, it was probably a couple of years ago, right, with a very impassioned speech that she had about the planet. This was at the UN, wasn't it? That's right, and I think we got a little moment from it.

How dare you? She kind of called out everyone. When you say a little moment, you couldn't get a more little a moment. It was quite small, wasn't it? But she called out, which is awesome. Good on her. She called out a lot of the world leaders who were in the room saying, you know, that the country's not doing enough to save the planet. And we had ruined her childhood

or something. Have you got that audio, Ju? Bear with. How dare you put me on the spotlight like that. Because there's been a lot of news lately about the emissions around the world. And New Zealand, not coming out too good. We talked about it a little bit yesterday.

So she's sort of come out and said New Zealand needs to do a lot better with the emissions. It was by animal emissions. I don't know how you solve that problem, though. That's the backbone of our economy, is providing food. Like we can't, well cows, can you put plugs in? Little corks or something? Yeah, I don't know, how does it work? Do we have like a tubing system that goes from them

and onto, you know, underground that powers our power grid and we wouldn't have any more blackouts? Yeah. I don't know, these are just ideas, I don't know if they're good ones. Yeah, well, yeah, but yesterday she was also in a magazine and she also talked about how she hadn't, she hadn't bought anything new,

anything clothing-wise new for about three years now. She borrows stuff, and she shares stuff around her friends and stuff because, yeah, she wants – fashion labels all say, oh, we're sustainable and things like that, but often they are because they're not, because they're producing a lot of stuff and not great for their environment. God, companies must look at her and go, gee,

she's a little pain in the ass. She's a little yappy, yappy, yappy. She's going over three years is a good, you know, it's a pretty good stint but not like anything new,

you know. Yeah. But she looks like, she looks, oh no, I'm not going to say that. I don't, she's a 15 year old kid.

18, she's 18. I was just checking. Yeah, I was just checking. Is she of the age where i can bully her yet it's bullyable you can't have a crack at anyone for their fashion sense either so you can't go there okay oh my god she is 18 what i loved was when trump was bullying her she was only 16 15 and 16 i was like come on mate yeah so three years a long time without um without buying anything new. But good on him.

Actually, we thought 4487 on the text, have you gone more than three years without doing something? Not necessarily buying anything new, but just in general. What haven't you done in three years? I probably haven't been, in all honesty, haven't been to a nightclub in three years. Do you know, in all honesty, that doesn't surprise me. Yeah. It does not surprise me.

Yeah. You probably haven't left your house for any reason. I haven't left my house in three years. It's not shocking and surprising I'm currently sitting at my house right now because I refuse to leave. I'm a hermit. What haven't you done in three years, Juliet?

Oh my goodness. Producer Bee Humps has said he hasn't had fast food in three years. Because he's gluten intolerant which is more of a pain in the arse than Greta Thunberg when you go out to dinner with B-Hubs. Poor guy. There's not many gluten options out there, is there, for you? They need more.

I'm going to represent the gluten intolerant. All right. I'll become the face of gluten-free. How about you, Ben? What haven't you done in three years? Oh, I promise. I guess similar on the lines to you. I've probably haven't had a burger,

like a McDonald's burger in like three years. In three years? I've probably been to McDonald's, you know, but I haven't probably had a burger in three years. What, you just sat in there and used their Wi-Fi? Yeah, pretty much. No, breakfast. Thanks, Ronald.

I've had McDonald's for breakfast, yeah. Just had a McDonald's burger. Yeah, probably in three years. Have you thought of an example yet? No, I'm still trying to think. 2018, you're four, five. What's going on there? Yeah, yeah.

Probably haven't, you know, learned all the words in the English language. No. Okay, so 0800, that's the number, 4487. What haven't you done in over three years? Yeah, I'd love to hear from you this morning. Spy, know what's up? Spy.co.nz. Juliet is the backbone of this whole operation.

Ben, you're probably, what would I say, you're like a sternum, and I'd probably be the pelvic girdle if I was going to be anything. And that's the body that makes up this program. What's happening in Spy, Backbone? I do just want to quickly mention, we did just play a bit of Beyonce. She's announced she's releasing some new music soon, which is very exciting. And she also announced on the side of that that she's got a

honey farm and a hemp farm in her backyard. She did a rare interview and that was a couple of the headlines that came out from that. Well, when, you know, she's associated with the beehive, isn't she? So a honey farm, it's a logical business acquisition. That does make sense. Her and Jay-Z, do you see

it loaded? Aren't they billionaires? I think so. Jay-Z's the wealthiest male musician, I think. It used to be Dr. Dre, right? For a while there. Jay-Z now worth $1.4 billion. Crazy. Wow. Wow.

Go Jay-Z. And Beyonce, are you a fan of Beyonce, June? I love Beyonce. She's very talented. I want to see her perform one day. That'd be great. My wife's a huge fan and she took me along to the Beyonce show. Oh, wow.

And it was very impressive. Yeah. She is, yeah. So talented. You know when you look at someone, you're like, wow, they're a superstar. You know, they've got that glow about them. Yeah, yeah.

She's got that. And it may be, you know, the 300 fans blowing her hair and the 29 personal assistants being like, wow, they're superstars. that. And it may be, you know, the 300 fans blowing her hair and the 29 personal assistants being like, wow, they're superstars. Totally. And Christina Applegate, you may know her. She's from Married With Children.

She was in Anchorman. She was kind of the co-anchor from Anchorman. That's right. Do you remember that movie? Yeah, she's awesome, eh? She's really good. Yeah, Pirate Hooker. That was the one, wasn't it?

Yeah. She's announced that she has been unfortunately diagnosed with MS, multiple sclerosis. Oh my gosh. So that's a condition that can affect the brain and spinal cord, causing problems with vision, arm or leg movement. You can't cure it, but you can treat it. So it's just something that she's going to have to live with for the rest of her life, which is really unfortunate. I remember... She's only 49.

Yeah, yeah. I remember learning about MS on Shortland Street once when I used to watch Shortland Street and I was like, what's that? What's that? And I asked my mum and she's a nurse and she kind of explained it all to me. So it's quite a scary condition. So she did tweet about it just saying a few months ago she was when the diagnosis happens.

It's been a strange journey but she's been really supported. The road keeps going. She's just going to have to... Dear friend of ours had MS. Didn't he? Really sad. Yeah, lost a lot of his sight as well as a result of it. But he's such a positive, he's a legend, Sammy. He's a positive man.

So, yeah. Really sad for him. Yeah, it was hard to see what the effects it has on him. Yeah, totally. For sure, for sure. So hopefully she can get through it and she's got the support she needs. And that is Spy. For more, you can head to the hits.co.nz.

Broadcasting live. And mostly awake. Jonono and ben new zealand's breakfast on the heads now running julie are you still training for your marathon yes but it's sort of on pause at the moment due to injury but yes you've got calf related issues yeah yeah annoying what's wrong with the calves oh they're just a bit sore over running basically I've just been going too hard. We're on for it. We strike. Yeah, but it's normal. It's normal. Yeah, because I try and do it most mornings, like a lunatic at 3.40 in the morning.

But I've figured that running that time every morning is there's appropriate running hours and there's inappropriate running hours. So if you're running late at 11 o'clock you're exercising late if you're up at six you're exercising early if you're running at 3 40 in the morning you're running from the police or a crime that's what that's the looks you get well yeah you know why is this guy not walking why is he running at this hour of the night it's very early to be up and burn but you do it, you know? Yeah.

But it's suspicious. I get it's suspicious because I'm going down the middle of the road too. Yeah. Yeah. I would look sideways. Yeah, it's always like that. Yeah. There's a lot of people moving houses at that time of night.

You know how they put houses on the back of trucks? Oh, yeah. Yeah, and it must be the same team of people because they're always like, honk, honk, on the way past. This is a mad person running down the middle of the road. I think they're like, get out the middle of the road. We're moving a house here. They don't have one of those little trucks that drive in front of you with a big sign or anything like in front of you. With the flashing lights. That's what you need.

Psychopath coming soon. John O'Brien running everywhere. Did you see the Olympics guy in the marathon? The French runner? Oh yeah. Who was running and it was like mid-race and these guys they look you know emaciated they look malnourished they just like you know skin draping off bones running

and he goes up to get his glass of water but he knocks all the waters off the table then just grabs the last one. So no one, literally no one behind him can get a water. Awful. Oh yeah. So mean. That's a Ben voice play. That is a champagne voice play. Maybe on the Olympics. Maybe you're filming

a comical TV show. Not when there's cameras. Well, if you're filming a comical TV show, maybe. But the Olympics, you're like, oh. New Zealand's breakfast. It's Jono and Ben. It is 7 o'clock. Great me in love. On the hits. It is 7 o'clock. Great hanging out with you guys today.

And now we're talking very shortly about what you haven't done in maybe in years. And the All Blacks this weekend are going to do something they haven't done in years. They're going to play in what looks like it won't be a full house for a Bledsoe Cup game. They're taking on Australia for the second week at Eden Park. Are you across the ticket sales, are you? Yeah, well, yeah. Well, they just had an article today saying, yeah, because, I mean, it's the second week at Eden Park, which normally wouldn't happen, but this is happening because of the world

we live in now with COVID and all that sort of stuff. Wasn't it meant to be Wellington? I think it was meant to be Wellington, so they moved it to Auckland. But yeah, they also reckon maybe it's something that the rugby union might have to look at because, you know, tickets are pricey for an adult, somewhere between $80 to $180, depending on how much you want to spend. And when you compare that to a year of, say, Disney Plus or Netflix, you know, it's hard to say.

Oh, you're going to take Disney Plus all year, aren't you? I know you, Ben Boyce, you're a big fan of Disney Plus streaming service. I love going to live sports, don't get me wrong, but it is something that when you're like, oh, I could do a year's entertainment for the family at this price, or one of us could go to a game at this price. So if it's not fully sold out, are they going to do that thing like they do at Spark Arena where they put the big

curtain up to make it a smaller venue? Well, maybe just to sort of bring things in a little bit. They could change the venue too. I mean, it'll still be popular and there'll still be lots of people there and I'm sure the ticket sales will pick up over the next few days. And then you feel bad for the rugby union having two weeks in a row at the same place.

But yeah, it's kind of weird in New Zealand. They're always just sold out, All Blacks games, or close to it. Okay. Well, the All Blacks this weekend playing in Ben's backyard. That'll be a sold out event. That'll be sold out. Okay, we'll be there. I'm not moving the tramp though, guys.

The trampoline's got to stay there. They've got to play around the trampoline? Yeah, I'm not going to move it. And they say, well, maybe they could lift it, but I'm not going to move it. You wouldn't move a trampoline for the All Blacks? No, they could help me. They could lift it.

It's heavy. And if you play your cards right, you might be able to watch a little bit of Disney Plus after the match. It's the same for the whole family. Two dads just trying to fill some airtime. Some might say it's pointless, but the main thing is it fills in some air time for us

That is the main thing Now as we mentioned earlier Climate activist Greta Thunberg She used an interview She had an interview in a magazine Just a couple of days ago Oh is that the one she said that our cows were making too many greenhouse emissions No that was more of a social media sort of thing

Yeah right I don't think she mentioned us in the magazine. Good or bad. Got unnecessarily defensive about that for some reason. She's probably right. She talked about fashion, the fashion industry, and she said that, you know, I guess a lot of fashion labels are saying

they're doing things now more ethically and they're trying to be sustainable and all that sort of stuff. But she's saying in the way the world's shaped today, you can't be sustainable, she reckons, and the the system needs to change and the last time that she has bought anything new uh clothing wise was over three years ago she just borrows stuff so over three years without buying anything new i mean she does a lot of great she's great stuff so don't don't do that don't do you know how dare you yeah. She's doing awesome stuff for the planet.

You know, there's people like that that get changes made. Yeah, you're right. You did right, Ben. She's doing wonderful stuff. Look at your kids. I'm sure your kids are the same as mine. They are. They're petrified about the planet at the moment.

We've really put the fear of God into the kids. They're worried about what's going to happen to the planet, which is good. So we've got a whole generation. We've done a good job of ruining it. We've got a whole generation coming through now. We're going to fix up our mistakes. It's the joy, which is good. So we've got a whole generation. I mean, we've done a good job of ruining it. We've got a whole generation coming through now. We're going to fix up our mistakes. It's the joy of making new people. Better people than us.

Yeah, I hope it's not too late. But I'm not going to have a go at Greta. I haven't bought a new jacket in over probably 10 years. Every day I wear this blue swan dry, and Juliet's like, oh, you've got the same. You're wearing the swan dry again. I thought you said you wore a red one, though. A little bit different. Mix it up, babes.

Yeah. Fashion. Fashion. Have you figured out anything you haven't done in a long Mix it up. Mix it up, babes. Fashion. Have you figured out anything you haven't done in a long time, Ju? No, I still haven't. Mate, we've given you an hour. Maybe I've got an addictive personality. I don't know. Ben Boyce? Yeah, well, I do have friends. I think I mentioned this before that

she has never filled up her car in like three years. He just does it. He does it once a week. It's a lovely little thing. It makes us all look bad. But it's a lovely thing he does. Yeah, it's like what Greta's doing to the rest of us. This person is doing to you. He goes out and he's like, I'll do it. And he fills her car up on like a weekend, on a Sunday of the week.

Chivalry as well. Yes. You want a dish like that, don't you, Julia? Yeah. And what do you do, mate? What do you do to Amanda? What do you do for her? Me?

What do I do? Yeah, I don't know. I'll probably drive the car not fill it up and leave the seat not in the right position you know things like that you know oh if anything i'll leave the red light petrol light on just to give her a bit of a thrill see that yeah what no no no exactly the seat position is always a funny one when you've used someone else's car right jen's the same put the seat back yeah so we just pull the lever pull it you know you get it to the place that you want it to be.

It's easy to do. I mean, when you exit a car, the last thing on your mind is repositioning the seat. And then you don't know for sure if that's the spot, do you? No. Is this a guessing game? Is this the word? I guess their legs are this long. Yeah.

Yeah, exactly. We've had a wonderful call previously from Marty, who hadn't done something in a very long time. No water diet. How long has it been since you've had water? About 35 years. No way. 30? 35 years?

What are you drinking? I drink probably about between 15 and 25 cups of coffee a day. Jeez. Okay. He is volatile. Hopefully Marty's still with us. Mate, give us a text, Marty. Are you still around?

Hope so. 4487. So we want to know on 4487 or 0800 the hit. So what have you not done for, let's say, at least three years, a few years? Yeah, give us a call right now. We'd love to hear from you on New Zealand's Breakfast. That's all she wrote. That's all she wrote.

That's all she wrote, 660.'s John Owen Bairn, Greta Thunberg She's a climate change activist And she's had over three years now Where she hasn't bought any new clothing She's just borrowed stuff from her friends Because she's all about saving the planet Which is awesome How dare you

How dare you Did she imagine being her friend Greta's coming over to scab some clothes off me again. I know. Trying on some riding around the world on her penny farthing. No, it'd be wonderful. And it's really putting her money where her

mouth is, isn't it? She probably can't be seen to be going out to do that sort of thing, and she probably wouldn't want to anyway. Can she catch a plane? Because someone should tell her the benefits of air travel. She'd be paying for that little greenhouse emission thing that you kind of go

no to, but she'd be like, oh no, definitely. How dare you? You want to pay for this? Do I have to? No. Could you use some of the money

I pay for the flights to go to? What is that? Are there options? Yeah. Yeah, well she would be paying. Yeah, she'd be doing that. We just played Marty who we have spoken to previously,

what he hasn't done in a very long time involving water. How long has it been since you've had water? About 35 years. No way. 30? 35 years? What are you drinking? I drink probably about between 15 and 25 cups of coffee a day.

Jeez, okay. He is volatile. I just had grave concerns for Marty's health and well-being. I said, hopefully Marty's still with us. Text us if you're around, Marty. And Marty's phoned through. He's here. Yeah, I'm still around, bro.

Still kicking, still 15 coffees a day, Marty? Yep, still 15 coffees a day, bro. You haven't had a glass of water since we last spoke? Oh, hell no. It's your thing now. It's his thing now. I worry about your health, but hey, it's good that you're still around and still doing fine.

Have you slept since we last spoke? That's a fallacy. Hey, Marty, you keep safe. keep on trucking Thank you, you too Thanks for listening, appreciate it What you haven't done in a long time, we'll get Stacey on from Auckland, more interstice

Good morning, how long has it been? It's probably 15 years plus since I haven't done the laundry in the house My hubby is so particular about how it gets done and me and my daughter cannot peg the washing out to save ourselves. So, you know, sometimes it's best just to admit defeat and say, okay, it's yours.

Yeah, right. 15 years ago, you put your head, you swung your white flag and you're like, okay, it's all yours. But you can put this white flag in with the washing as well. But I do mow the lawns instead and and I can't stand watching him do it, so I guess it's kind of worked for us. So he hasn't mowed the lawns in 15 years? No, no. And the one or two times he does, it's kind of like I feel like I need to go out and redo it. Isn't that funny, though, in a relationship?

You've both got your strengths, don't you, when it comes to the household chores? That's right. Makes for a happy household. And I don't mind. I'm more of an outside than an insider, so yeah. Oh, good on you, Stacey. Well done. Hasn't done the washing in 15 years.

A lot of people going, amen to that sister. Yeah. Absolutely. Well done. All right, we'll get Scotty on from the Hawke's Bay. Morena, Scotty, what you haven't done in a long time? Haven't been out or night out with the wife in over eight years. Over eight years?

Yeah. Wow. What was the last night you went out for? Well, actually, away from the kids and whatnot, it would have been a trip to Brisbane. See, I was saying that the other day, just before 7 o'clock, not the other day, feels like a day ago,

that I haven't been to a nightclub in probably four or five years. Doesn't surprise me. It's like that doesn't surprise me. I don't know what sort of thing I'm portraying at the moment, what sort of loser life I'm portraying. That doesn't surprise anyone. I'd be more surprised if you had been to a nightclub.

Yeah, if it left my house. What are you guys whispering about? You guys are whispering you and Bee Humps. What's going on? You're giving thumbs up. You're mouthing each other. Hey, can we shout them a night out? Do you want a night out, Scotty?

Yeah, I'd love a night out. Are you on the wife? Can we do that at the Hits? Yeah, we'll cover babysitting costs. Yeah. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Is that too much? Oh, mate.

Hold on, Bucket. What does it sound like? You're a volunteer. I'm trying to do a babysitting. No, we'll sort it out mate. Hold on, Bucket, what does it sound like? You're a volunteer. I'm trying to roll babysitting. No, we'll sort it out. We'll give you a night out, but there's some T's and C's that I don't know about. That's why we're having whispering conversations, mate. So what does this night out involve?

I'm kind of hot with the babysitting. What does this night out involve? Now, we would love to give you and your wife a night away in a hotel and shout you dinner, Scotty. Oh, that'd be excellent. Awesome. There you go. I feel like you deserve that after eight years of not having a baby. No babysitters, though, apparently. Well, yeah, shout you dinner, Scotty. Oh, that'd be excellent. Awesome. There you go. I feel like you deserve that after eight years. No babysitters, though, apparently.

Well, yeah. Babies can sit themselves. You can organise that. You're on the line, mate. We'll grab your details. No worries. Word 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 around about this time. By now, you should know how it works, but if you match your words with our words you win $5,000. Now we were in a meeting yesterday and Boss Todd was like, it's been a long time since you've had a winner on five words.

It's not like we haven't been trying. We've been giving it our all. Good honest crack. And then there was a month or so ago where we had too many winners in a two week period. He's like, too many winners. Yeah, well, it's like we can't help it. It's just the way the game works. Yeah, I don't know what the guy wants.

He was so scared at that moment, he fled to Australia. And now we haven't seen him since. He's locked in a hotel room. Tracy, you're on from Auckland. Morena. Good morning. How are you? I'm doing well this morning.

Tracy, what are you up to? You're off to work? Oh, no, I've got the day off. I decided to go and have surgery instead. Oh, that's fun. What are you up to? You off to work? Oh, no, I've got the day off. I decided I'm going to have surgery instead. Oh, that's fun. What are you getting surgery on? Oh, just a little procedure that needs doing. Yeah, right.

Okay, I won't drill down any further. No, that's when you're in a follow-up. That's for the surgeon to do. Yeah. Okay, Tracey, you need to decide who you're sending through into the soundproof booth to match five words with. Mm-hmm. Jono. Oh, okay. You to match five words with? Jono. Oh, okay.

You're surprised by that one, Jono. Yeah, I was. Juliet's an option. Juliet. Put the pressure on him. Yeah, I know Jono's making his way to the soundproof booth. My heart can't handle it. You're right.

He is in there now, Trace. All right, here is your first word this morning. Five words, 5K. Cashew. Cashew 5K. Cashew. Cashew. Nut. Cashew. Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

Possum let's get Jono out of the soundproof booth And we'll see if they all match up with your words Thank you Well done Trace My stomach's very noisy this morning And it was just reverbing the noise around the soundproof box. You always feel so embarrassed when your stomach makes a noise. I know, it's funny that I...

You're trying to ignore it. You don't want to apologise for it immediately, but if it continues on, you really need to... You know, I'll stop talking about my gut noises. Tracey, how did you go? I don't know. Hopefully you're thinking on the same track as me. That's the game.

Yeah. All right, let's see if we can win you 5K, Tracy. You need to think like Tracy when I say cashew. Cashew. Nuts. Oh, no. What did you say? No.

Hold on. Ben Humphries doing that thing across his throat. I said nuts. What did you say, Trace? Nut. Did you say nut? Yeah. Been hungry.

I was, yeah. Oh, that was a bit of a like a rough official with the Olympics coming in. It was like a Tom Walsh situation. Can we, like, all right, nice. Those are the rules that have been stipulated. It needs to be the exact word, even if it is just a niggly little S on the end of the whole word.

That was there, Ben Huffrey. But hey, I didn't make the rules. Oh, Tracy, I'm disappointed. I'm disappointed. It is what it is. It is what it is, but it's disappointing. Let's quickly rip through the rest of the words. Accommodation, Jono?

Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye Bye She's a mild-mannered producer on a breakfast radio show. By night, she's still a mild-mannered producer on a breakfast radio show who just goes to bed early to get a good night's sleep.

Yeah, that's literally it. Juliet, what's happening in Spy? So Quentin Tarantino, he's the award-winning film director. He's directed Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. He's probably one of the most successful current film directors. And so when he was younger, as a kid in class and in his spare time, he'd be writing screenplays. And, you know, teachers would kind of tell him off for not doing his work because he'd be writing screenplays. This

was him as a kid. So he obviously had a knack for it as a child. And so his mum would see him doing all of this and kind of sarcastically give him a bit of a hard time about his little writing career and basically insinuated that he wouldn't succeed at it um and so that's when he decided when he was a young boy that okay lady when i become a successful writer you will never see one penny of my success there will be no house for you no vacation no car you get nothing because you said that and he's literally stuck to his word. This is age 12, right? Yeah. This is age 12. He's like, all right. Yeah. And so I think his fortune is over $170 million now.

And he's stuck with that. And the only time he's helped his mother out was when she was in a jam with the IRD, basically. It's the only time he's given her any money. He hasn't handed her a cent. Wow. You can't believe it. From a 12-year-old saying, yeah. Which is crazy.

And then he went on to say that there are consequences for your words as you deal with your children. And even if it is a sarcastic tone, it can actually really stick with them, which is kind of proof that he just always remembered that. And he literally hasn't budged. I love that. When I'm a successful movie writer. Yeah, but then you'll be like, oh, shut up, kid.

You're never going to do that. And he did. Yeah. He did. Nine times out of ten, they're not going to. He was the one time they did. That's awesome. They're good on him.

Stick your mind to anything. You can achieve it, can't you? Totally. Did you know that wagon from Kill Bill? It was a yellow truck from Kill Bill. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And on the back of it, it must have been a cat enthusiast. Yes.

Something about a cat wagon or something. Yes, yeah, yeah. I know what you mean. Whatever. I can't remember the correct terminology. But that's his car. Is it? He drives around Malibu in it.

Really? His actual car, right? In the cat wagon. I suppose he's probably got a few of them, but yeah. Wow. It's not his mum's car, that's for sure.

He's not giving it, well, it'd be weird to give your mum that car. Yeah, hey mum, I got this for you. People are like, oh, thanks. Thanks. I just know how much you love cats. Yeah. An appropriate wagon for you.

And another story. An actor, Alan Cumming, he's a Scottish actor. He reveals that he once went for a role in Harry Potter. Harry Potter. Harry Potter. Harry Potter, as you say. As one of the professors, Gilderoy Lockhart, which is in the second film. And basically, he told the producers to beep off when turning down the role.

And the reason for this was they wanted him and another actor to do a screen test together. And they said they couldn't pay him any more than a certain sum that he wanted because they didn't have enough money in the budget but he had the same agent as this other actor that he was doing the screen test with who was sort of worth more um and they offered him more money to do the screen test and to potentially take this role than alan so he found this out through his agent because they were offering different and he just told them to beep right off. Oh, well, thank you for that wonderful Alan Cumming news. It's Harry Potter related,

and you know I can't stay away from a Harry Potter story. I've had to Google Alan Cumming, and I still don't know who he is. But hey. Oh, whenever you see him, you go, oh, that guy. Yeah. Yeah, I haven't even gone that guy. Has he not?

No. I know that guy. It's the good one. Yeah, he's in The Good Wife. Yeah. I haven't seen that either,. Has he not? No. I know that guy. I watched The Good One. He's on The Good One. Yeah, he's on The Good Wife. I haven't seen that either, but you know. Oh, it's Alan Cumming. Alan Cumming.

Well, Alan Cumming's a successful Hollywood star. He's not going to give you a set, mate. Yeah. Maybe I should have stuck with my Quentin D'Arendino story. Alan Cumming was good. Thank you. We'll keep you up to date with all the movements in Alan Cumming's career. I know you said when Cumming and going.

We'll be doing my spottings on the hits. And then a spy with Alan Cumming's news on the hits. Watch it by Alan Cumming. Yeah, there you go. Do yourself a favour. Give him a Google. New Zealand's breakfast. This is Jono and Ben on the hits.

It is the hits. Jono and Ben just gone 8 o'clock on your Wednesday. Did you hear Rachel in the news just then saying that all vapes now, obviously there's a wonderful range of flavours available to the vaping community now, but they must only have tobacco and menthol flavoured vapes now. Taking it back to the old school ciggy days. Right, so no flavoured vapes. No flavoured vapes.

That's probably a good thing. Well, how else are you going to get kids into it? There's not tasty flavours like bubblegum and, what do you say, vanilla dew or something, produced to be Humphrey. But it's a great decision, isn't it? It's a great decision. I don't know. Not if you run a vape store.

Not if you just bought a vape store. Yeah, it makes a lot of sense, right? Because you don't want people hooked on that thing, you know, on that stuff. Well, we spoke to a lady from Auckland University who's just started a study. She's about six months into a four-year study of the effects of vaping. She didn't quite know. She assumes it's very bad for you because you don't know what you're putting into your body. Because there's metal, too, from the pen as well.

She's not sure of what chemicals are in the vape liquid too. And that's the joy too, isn't it, of it? You don't know what you're putting in your body. It's the thrill of vaping. John Owen Bain, New Zealand's breakfast on the hits. And it's hits, John Owen Bain, 8.28, Wednesday morning.

Oh my gosh. OMG. OMG, I Want One is back, but there's a wee bit of a twist. At the moment, this time you get to choose the prize you want. OMG A or OMG B. Here are today's options. Thank you, Jono and Orban. Today, it's your choice. Live the dream with the whole whanau with Prize A,

a $1,000 book-a-batch voucher. Or really live the dream without the whole whanau with prize a a one thousand dollar book a batch voucher or really live the dream without the whole whanau with prize b a romantic staycation without the kids text omg to 4487 now to get in the draw back to you in the studio real test of how much you love your children today uh so this afternoon if you text omg to 4487, Stace, Mike and Anika could be calling you and giving you option A or B. And all morning I've been playing option A or B with you, Ben.

Previous to 7 o'clock it was option A, wear see-through pants for the rest of your life or option B, don't wear see-through pants for the rest of your life. You went option B. Yeah, I did, yes. Here's an option. Option A, vomit on your hero. Option B, have your hero vomit on you.

Now, we're talking Dwayne the Rock Johnson here. Easy. Is it? What are you going to do, Ju? I'll have him vomit on me. Because I wouldn't want to upset Dwayne the Rock Johnson, you know? You'd rather... Yeah, yeah, you'd treat him...

Because you'd go viral. Like, if it was filmed, you'd be like, look at this guy vomiting on Dwayne the Rock Johnson, you know? You'd rather... Yeah, yeah, you'd treat your own... Because you'd go viral. Like, if it was filmed, you'd be like, look at this guy vomiting on Dwayne the Rock Johnson. If he went, oh, excuse me, I'm just sorry, and I'd be like, oh, that's okay, mate, it's all good. And then he'd probably go, oh, you know. Where if it's a prearranged vomit on you, you can organise whereabouts you want it to land.

Yeah, oh, so it's prearranged, too. Yeah, it's like, oh, well, obviously, this was a part of the quick... Yeah, okay, I'll go with that one. Okay, but there are the options. They may be tomorrow's options, and OMG, I want one. I don't think they will be. But if you want to win, all you have to do is text OMG to 4487.

But we've got some big news. That will have you saying OMG next. So honestly, when we all heard it, we all went, OMG. We all did. We did. This is big news. This is cool. Stick around.

Usually on radio, it's like they're just building it up to nothing to try and keep you listening through the song. It's not one of those instances. No, no. No, this is big, big news. Yeah. I still don't know if it... Well, anyway, we'll talk about it in the next.

It is the hits. You've got Jono and Ben. It's Bruno Mars, Grenade. It is the hits. Jono and Ben. We just said before we've got some big breaking news, big spy breaking news. Oh, that's the wrong Friends theme song. That was really anticlimactic.

I was meant to play the... It's even better when you do it with your mouth. Thank you. So, Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer, let me cast your mind back to the Friends reunion in May when they said this. Yeah, the first season, I had a major crush on Jen. At some point, we were both crushing hard on each other, but it was like two ships passing because one of us was always in a relationship.

We never crossed that boundary. We respected that, but we both... Bullshit. And in the words of Janice... Oh my God! Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer are reportedly dating now. Awesome, Rachel!

Play that Janice grab again! Oh my God! This is crazy news. Play that Janice grab again. Oh my God. Oh, they're jaying. This is crazy news. Decades of sexual tension building up. They're on a break for decades. Oh my gosh.

It's going to explode like a bottle of juice left in a car on a hot summer's day. Honestly, you know when Brad and Angelina were together when they broke up, hearts shattered across the globe? This rectifies all of that I think The world wanted them to get together after that This is like the couple that just has to be together And it was probably a bit better because they're both single It wasn't like the Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper thing

Where everyone's like, you need to get together Forget about his wife And they'll leave her for Lady Gaga Because you guys hooked up on the movie We're acting, we're great actors. But it looked like there was feelings there. And they feel like, from what I read before, it felt like they kind of reignited with the reunion.

Yeah, so after the reunion, apparently it became sort of clear that reminiscing over the past kind of stirred up old feelings. So they began texting immediately after filming. And last month, David flew from his home in New York to spend some time with Jennifer in LA. They've been spending time at Jennifer's home. She's cooked dinners in the

evening. She's been cooking dinners for him. Quality time together. They were also spotted drinking wine and deep conversation. They drank wine, did a deep conversation together. In one of Jen's favourite vineyards in Santa Barbara. So it's very exciting. That's cool, that's cool. Oh, yes!

We never have any deep conversation anymore, Ben. What happened to our deep conversation? You don't cook for me anymore. The lover's dead. Is he married or is he a solo? No, he's single, but he does have a daughter called Cleo. Yeah, he hasn't broken the news to her yet, to his wife about that.

And Will's like, yeah, no, no, they're separated. They're separated, right, okay. Oh, I see, 2017. Surely it's like, yeah, no, no, they're separated. They're separated, right, okay. Oh, I see, 2017. Surely it's the right, like, you know, they're both single, this is just meant to be. Oh, great yesterday. Listen, the phones are blowing up already on New Zealand's breakfast.

Your initial reaction to the news, Jennifer Anderson and Jennifer, what's his, Ross, David Schwimmer, Schwamiston, are now a couple. Your thoughts? David Schwimmer. Schwemiston. Now a couple. Your thoughts? Oh, my God. That's actually like we're talking to Janice. Is that Janice?

It was actually better quality. He didn't have the applause under it again. Can we get that one more time? Oh, my God. Well, congratulations to the world. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Well, congratulations to the world. This is our victory. That's right.

This is our relationship. Yeah, we thought we'd seen ourselves through a pandemic. It's still kind of hanging in there, but we've seen ourselves through this. We're pivoted on this occasion to Ross and Rachel. There is hope. There is a God. We've navigated through some tricky years, but finally there's light

at the end of the tunnel. Oh, wow. Friends more than friends now, aren't they? Yeah, it is the hits. You got Jono and Ben. Want more Jono and Ben? You can wake up with the boys'

weekdays from sex on the hits and via the iHeartRadio app. Jono and Ben on the hits breakfast. Friends of Skinny. Happy, happy, happy, oh. Oh.
