Episode Date: March 22, 2022

We spoke about animals misbehaving and Rosie's dog was A VERY BAD DOG!!! BAD BOY!!! Jono also has a new nickname that he wants to pitch and we'll let you be the judge of that. Finally, we played Close Contacts again where Jono called a number on Ben's phone and Ben had to converse with them without knowing who they were. Always awkward and always entertaining.

Vids with the Jono and Ben podcast. Hey, it's 10.07am here as we're currently doing this podcast on the 23rd of March. My clock's three minutes off. Oh no, it's 10.10. I was looking at the seconds there. I was like, no, it's good. What idiot can't tell a digital clock? Well, welcome along to the Jono and Ben podcast. I'm Jono Pryor and I have trouble reading a digital clock.

Oh, I see where you're getting it from, though. The seconds. I was reading the seconds. I was like, it can happen. No, it can't happen. Don't try and make me feel better. That's not a thing. Well, you know, to be in your defense, it was kind of in the ballpark.

It was three minutes out. Yeah, I know, but if you hadn't called it out, I wouldn't be in this position of having to explain that I couldn't read a digital clock. I was like, oh, my computer is off, you know, off by a bit. What's your favourite time? If you were to pick your favourite time of the day, I'm going to go, what's my favourite time of the day? You know, I really like the early morning when there's nothing else around.

Right. Yeah. I quite like that. I remember Princess Charlotte of Monaco. Dear, dear, dear friend. Dear, dear friend. I remember her once regaling tales of this is when she's married to who's the guy in Monaco?

Oh, yeah. What's his name? Is he Andrew? I think he might be Andrew. Was he Andrew? Not a good time to be called Prince Andrew. Is he Andrew? Prince of Monaco. Juliet, you were googling it right before you were taking notes. Prince Albert? Oh of Monaco. Prince of Monaco. Juliet, you were Googling it, right? Or are you taking notes? Are you like Prince Albert?

Oh, Prince Albert. Oh, Prince Albert. Oh, you forget Prince Albert. That's a whole other thing. Don't Google that. So she's married to Prince Albert, and she was a princess. We may or may not have a Prince Albert. We don't know.

I reckon he would. We've really got to back yourself with Prince Albert, don't you? Yeah, I know. Jeez. Yeah, exactly. Like, what would you do, I know. Jeez. Yeah, exactly. Like, what would you do if I pulled my finger and you're like, oh, okay, you got... Well, firstly, I'd be like, not in the workplace, but exactly. I'd be like, oh, wait.

She'd go with Prince Albert. Each to their own. Yeah, anyway. So she was a princess, married to him, Monaco, a lot of scrutiny there. And she would just wake up at 1.30, 2 in the morning and run around by herself without any security. Around the streets. And she said that was her favourite time of day. Just for a laugh.

Yeah. Yeah, fair enough. Some alone time. So the early morning's good for me. I really do like, you know, sort of that 3 to 5 a.m. hours. You do like really early, don't you? Yeah. What's your favourite time of the day?

I probably like, I don't know. I actually like coming home in between stuff. I like. Oh, you like that little couple of hours you've got... After... We normally have radio before I pick the kids up from school. What has been doing in that couple of hours? Oh, yeah.

It was really... Exercise. Look forward to that. Have lunch. That's the things that people do in the day, most people. Yeah, things like that. Catch up on some work. Get my head around some stuff.

So it's good. Do some stuff around the house as well. Just stuff. Just stuff. I can imagine you going... I chew quite a lot in that time. That's where I get most of my stuff done if I've got that time.

But yesterday I went to the dentist. I didn't have that time. So you have to do that later. Imagine you would do a lot of stuff in that time. It's like three hours of just there getting stuff done. I'm taking lots of stuff off my list at that time. Whereas in the morning for me, I don't mind getting up,

but it's like I have a coffee, just kind of wake. You ease into the day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not just up running the streets like you at 3.40 in the morning. Yeah, I do literally bound out of bed. It's a nightmare. Juliet, your favourite time of day?

Depends on the situation. So if I'm definitely an early morning kind of person, like a 6am-er, if I get to see the morning, like coming in to work when you don't actually see the light of the day and the sunrise is kind of sad. So on a weekend, I quite like getting up early, but then during the week, day to day, my favourite time is bedtime. 8.30, read my book

for a little bit, put the phone away. Those are some sweet moments when you lie on your bed. Those are our favourite times of the day. Listen, let's just see what the general, because there'll be a website voting on everyone's favourite. There's a website on everything. Favourite time of the day.

Survey. There would have been a survey of 100 people. Favourite time of the day. 11 p.m. Oh. I used to love going to the gym at night before I did breakfast radio. 11 p.m. Britain.

That was my favourite time, much probably like you in the mornings when no one else is around. Yeah, I'd go like 10 o' night before I did Breakfast Radio. 11 p.m. Britain? That was my favourite time, much like probably like you in the mornings when no one else is around. Yeah, I'd go like 10 o'clock, you know. Wow. You know, and come home and people would be, everyone would be asleep and then you'd have time to yourself and kind of do, yeah, it was kind of, yeah. When you were doing the afternoon show, what time would you go to bed? Oh, probably like 11, 11.30.

Yeah. So I was still getting up relatively early, but I'd just like go to the gym at night. It was kind of like the last thing you did before. Wow. In Britain, everyone's favorite, well, not everyone, but this, 11 p.m. at night, their favorite time of day. A lot of people are very productive at nighttime. Yeah.

You know? I probably find I'm more productive at that little, but you train yourself to kind of get up early. Yeah. I also think that productivity rises the later on in the day, later on in the day because you've got less time in the day to get something done, whereas if you start doing something in the morning, you're like, oh, well, I've got the whole day to do it. You know, like, does that make sense?

Yeah, it does. Yeah, I see. Do you want to know the other survey off this survey? Yeah, go on. Yeah. What's your favourite time of day to have sex? Oh, Jesus. Hey, what do you recommend?

You don't have to tell me your favourite time. As I said, I'm getting a lot done in those three hours. But, you know, the obvious answer, 28% say at night before sleeping. Yeah. Before breakfast. Wow. Jesus, a lot of breath to deal with. I'm mad at him, aren't I?

Morning tea is even in the equation here. Morning tea. How do you find the time at morning tea I suppose we can yeah yeah there we go enjoy the podcast

the hits how's everyone doing I'm doing okay surviving yeah we got a call yesterday from producer Bee Humps Bee Humps

she's lovely lovely producing lumps and I got a call and my wife's like this isn't going to be good. She knew when he phoned because he never phones.

Oh, so you're not even phoning? No, I never get calls from B-House. All right. I just thought it would be work related. Yes, sir. Did you? And he said, listen, I've tested positive, which is always a confusing sentence because I think the rat test should go,

I'm negative because that's negative connotations. It's a bad thing, negative. I keep saying that, yeah. Oh, you're feeling good. Okay, that's good. You're feeling good. I'm like, I've tested positive. Are you positive? You know, I'm negative because that's negative connotations it's a bad thing negative I keep saying that oh you're feeling good okay that's good you're feeling good I'm like I've tested positive are you positive

you know I'm positive you know like yeah positive would be yeah it's all going good but he got the big O and he's not happy about it is he he's not happy

he went to an event on the weekend he's like we shouldn't be going to this event but he went anyway yeah it was a very small event and it was all done

you know properly but you're right. For a while he had been... Weeks leading into it. It's not a good idea. I know it's not a good idea. Should we call him? Because he's like, I'll be up producing. Don't worry, I'll be up producing. Let's see if he's up producing. Yeah, well, if anything, he can enjoy a bit of a sleep in in the mornings. Now, you were convinced

after the call yesterday, you were convinced for a while that you had it. Yeah, don't you... But you've tested negative this morning, obviously. Well, did I test positive? Up and at him. Oh, he's up and at him? Are you up and at him or are you still lying in bed?

No, I'm still lying in bed, if I'm honest. Mate, how's that event you went to? You knew you didn't want to go. You picked it. I did pick it. Yeah. Is that becoming a pressure point

in the relationship? Look, I'm in the spare room. How are you feeling in all seriousness? You all right? Yeah, not too bad, not too bad. Just a few flu-like symptoms, but it's one of those strange things that in my head I was, you know, I knew that, you know, probably wouldn't avoid it at some point I'd get it, but I just expected it would happen overnight and I'd wake up sick, it wouldn't happen, come on, midway through a day

so that kind of took me by surprise. Yeah because you said you started getting a headache during the meetings and I thought oh well maybe it's just us, we're just punishing people to work with and I imagine there's a bit of disbelief too when the test comes across positive. Yeah, I did a second just to be sure. You did a second one, yeah. Well, you've got a young baby too. She must be a bit worried.

Yeah, yeah, that's a bit of a concern. So like I say, just doing the old isolation in the house and doing our best to try and keep it away from her if possible. What are you doing? Why are you up? You don't need to be up. I'm still working. Work to be done. Can't afford a sick leave day. Yeah, so that's the thing. He's up.

He's at him. He's on the radio. He claims this one. He doesn't have to take this out of his... Now he can go back to bed. I was up. I was producing. They phoned me on the flight. Didn't say they were going to call. Got an alibi. Yeah, I must admit, when you called me yesterday, I was like, well, I was driving and the car was like,

I've got it. I've got it. You know, you feel like all sweaty and you've got all the symptoms. Coughing. But no, too bad I didn't. I was just being overdramatic. Yeah, well, all the best, B. Humps. Enjoy your seven days of isolation.

Yeah, good on on ya There you go Dodged the bullet for a while though Haven't we? But it feels like It's only a matter of time You know It's gone from seven degrees separation To pretty much one degree of separation

For most of New Zealand At the moment Yeah Well there we go That was us Finding our producer At six o'clock in the morning He's up

He's up He's up and at him Spy No what's up Spy.co.nz. All right, she's about to go off and work on super yachts with billionaires and their 21-year-old girlfriends. Are you going to wake them up and give them an entertainment news bulletin in France,

there, G? Yeah, potentially. I'll see how I go. I'll see if they want it. So Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have officially raised over $35 million through a GoFundMe campaign to help Ukraine. And it hasn't gone unnoticed because they got a video call from the Ukrainian president to personally thank them.

Oh, a FaceTime jobby too. You'd be like, oh, someone's FaceTiming, which is always an unsettling moment, isn't it? I know. You're like, oh gosh, am I prepared for a FaceTime? I FaceTimed Ben a couple of times. It really throws him off guard. I FaceTimed someone we weren't that close with.

For a meeting. A meeting. He's like, oh, hello. You know, it does. You need to prepare for a FaceTime. It really throws you off. I mean, it'll throw you off even more if it's Zelensky on the FaceTime too. I know, I know.

So he tweeted an image of them on a video call, basically saying that they were the first to respond to Ukraine's grief and that the amount of money that they've raised and it's been sent to Flexport and Airbnb. So those are the two sort of, I think Flexport, actually I should double check what Flexport does. Hey, I'm not going to say you could have done this off-air. Yeah, I've done that off-air.

It's awesome to have people helping out like this. I'm in a horrible, horrible situation. But David Beckham I saw over the weekend gave his Instagram account to a Ukrainian doctor. He's 70 million. He obviously got 70 million fans. He's like, you take over, get whatever messages you need to get out there across over my Instagram

account, which is pretty awesome. Yeah, that is a bit dangerous, though, isn't it? It's not like it would get to you. Would you give me your Instagram account? Hell no, but it's not. Why don't you, no. Why don't you give me your Instagram account for the morning? No. Yes. That is a good idea. For don't you give me your Instagram account for the morning? No.

Yes. That is a good idea. For the morning. What benefit is this for me? Entertainment. Yeah, give it. Just hand it over until nine o'clock. I'll be in charge of Ben's Instagram account.

There's no benefit. Hey, Beckham trusted this guy. He's David Beckham. It's a female too, mate. Come on. It's sexist. Why does this always happen to me? This is why I can't trust you.

Why me? Hey. I'm sorry. Since when, Juliet, could you guys become doctors? Oh, stop. Stop. Move on. Move on. This is why I'm not giving you my Instagram account. When did this happen?

Yeah. Actually, Ben, I can see why you don't. We need to stop the madness. I'll keep pitching away to Ben I'm not giving you my Instagram account. When did this happen? Yeah. When did this happen? I can see why you don't. Yeah. We need to stop the madness. Yeah, no, it's okay. So I'll keep pitching away to Ben that I'm in charge of his... Okay, good luck. Check out more sexism like that. By the way, I found out what Flexport does.

Flexport is a freight company, so that helps with the freight going around Ukraine. Oh, that's good. And Airbnb, a lot of people, like you mentioned a couple of times, have been booking Airbnbs over there, obviously not staying in the Ukraine, but the money goes direct to the Ukrainian people. It does.

Yeah, which is great. Which is very good. And the couple that may make an appearance at the Oscars, which may be a surprise, is Harry and Meghan. No, that's not surprising. They're bloody desperate. Well, they've actually been keeping kind of a low profile recently. He was at the rodeo the other day. Oh, he was, wasn't he? I know Ben, you saw the photo, you're like, ooh,

big call going to a rodeo in this day and age. Yeah, and there was a bit of backlash afterwards, I read, a few days later, going along to, you know, because obviously people that are big on animal welfare don't really think, see, the rodeo's a good place to be. Yeah. So, Harry and Megan, they've been asked to present an award.

People think it might be the Best Picture Award. And if this is the case, then it means that they could be handing out the award to Jane Campion, who is picked to win Best Picture for Power of the Dog. So that's pretty cool. That's wonderful stuff, isn't it? I don't know. Have royals ever presented awards? Surely they would have. I think they have, yeah't it? I don't know. Have royals ever presented awards?

Surely they would have. I think they have, yeah. Harry and Meghan have definitely done a few things like that. Yeah, right. Specifically.

So yes, we'll see. We'll see. Early next week, the Oscars are on, so we will keep an eye out for that. And that is your Spy Entertainment

Update for the South, and we can head to the hits.co.nz. Thanks. Thank you very much, Producer Juliet. Coming up very shortly, my beef,

I've got a problem with a kids' movie. And you raised this yesterday. This is very specifically targeted. And he's going to mow it on. Clifford the Big Red Dog next. Coming up very shortly, it is the hits. Shono and Ben.

Warning. Contained dodgy parenting advice. Shono and Ben on the hits. Now, I watched the movie with the kids over the weekend. And part of it upset me, it was a good movie I enjoyed it and the kids enjoyed it It was a movie about the book and the cartoon Clifford the Big Red Dog had been made into A real life movie

Where the dog, you know the red dog It's little and then the girl loves it And it grows big Now my question is how did the dog Because I kind of, the kids watched it I was in and out of it How did it become so enormous? Was it steroid abuse?

What happened? That was love. It was love. Love made the dog bigger. Love made the dog bigger. And I also found. A lot of love. A lot of love.

Yeah. Did they ever cover off in the movie as well, Clifford's deposits and how they were getting rid of those? Because I imagine you'd need like a digger from higher pools. Yeah, no, they didn't quite go into that. Like he peed behind a tree and that was, you know, and then on someone as well. They didn't tackle the elephant. No, no.

Which actually is probably the size of an elephant. Yeah, exactly. And also, yeah, they didn't really go into why the dog was red too. But anyway, so my problem wasn't this gigantic sort of 20-foot dog. It was one of the actors in the movie who's one of my, you know, like one of the funniest people I think around. So I want to start by saying I really like, I was one of the actors in the movie who's one of my you know like one of the funniest people i think around so i want to start by saying i really like i was one of the benefits for me i was like oh cool this is good for the kids movie and i really like jack whitehall he's a comedian from the uk he's very funny yeah he's got a great show on netflix with his father where they travel

around and his posh english father he takes him to places like you know brothels and eastern europe and things yeah so he's a really funny guy. You must have seen him. He was on Jungle Cruise as well. He's in this movie. And this is how he talks when he does the stand-up. I'll tell you where it's gone too far. And I have to be the person to say this.

For the love of God, we have got enough milks now. Yeah, so this is him in the stand-up. As I say, very funny. So he's, you know, from the UK. Well, you didn't laugh then. Oh, well, the audience did. That's why I picked that up. Very funny man. Very good humour.

I can appreciate that. I won't laugh at it, but I'll appreciate that. But in the movie, okay, so this guy, he's putting on an American accent, which happens. I understand it happens. I mean, look at KJ Arpa from New Zealand. You know, he's guy, he's putting on an American accent, which happens. I understand it happens.

I mean, look at KJ Arpa from New Zealand. He's in Riverdale and puts on an American accent. And I don't think, you know, I'm not one to judge other people's accents, but his accent, you know, it was fine. Have a listen. Hi, Casey Porter here to see Mr. Harrington about the illustrator job. Pretty sure he said Mountain Time, so I guess I'm early. No.

But what annoyed me about this was not the fact that he was putting on an accent. It was a convoluted story in the fact that he was putting on an accent. It was a convoluted story in the movie that his sister had studied in the UK. And so his sister had a British accent. And he was mocking his sister for having a British accent. But then you've got a guy who's got a British accent putting on an American accent. I was like, just let the guy talk in his accent. If you've got the sister already, make them from Britain.

Yeah. And then John Cleese is in there, of course. With a British accent? He's got the sister already make them from britain yeah and then john cleese is in there of course with a british accent he's got a british accent as well it's overrun with british people set in america well maybe that was the thing man they'd filled their quota for international accents just let the guy talk in his accent like oh he's funny yeah so it was like i don't know why like i was the whole way through i was mumbling to myself or the kids is he the owner of the dog in the movie? Or what is it? He's just sort of wayward, sort of the brother.

Uncle. Oh, okay. So it's not like he has to be American. No. This was the thing that was frustrating. It seemed very unnecessary. I see what you're saying. It hasn't wound me up to the point of where you're at,

where you need some diazepam or something. But I also wanted to send a big shout out to, in that movie, the accommodating Asian billionaire who, he was all of a sudden lumped with getting Clifford overseas, remember? That's right. And he invested millions and putting this dog

on a big ship and getting it overseas and they're like, no, no, let's bring him back to a tiny apartment. Oh yeah, they got the dog in the apartment. It was just... Oh, I need to watch this. No, don't. It'll wind you up. Oh, it's actually good.

But you're right. The parts of it will wind me up. That's for sure. Hey, next. Clark Gafford's been spotted doing something on the internet, and it's not what I thought he would be doing. Yeah, we'll tell you what it is in three minutes on the hats. Scrolling through your feed.

He weighs 41 kilograms and can kind of read the news, and that's good enough for us, isn't it, Juliet? Yes. It's Ben Boyce, he's scrolling. So a lot of bad weather around the country over the last couple of days. Thunderstorms and heavy rain making their way from the top of the north down south, wreaking havoc as they go. And on Tuesday night, the Prime Minister shared a photo last night

of her fiancéecé Clark Gayford and daughter Niamh looking out the window. It was a cute photo watching the thunderstorm out the window and then 15 minutes later she shared another story at Premier House of them cleaning up a huge leak. All the water inside from the thunderstorm. They had towels out.

Quite a big clean up on aisle 3. Now I have a question. Was Clark wearing an ankle bracelet? No he wasn't. Is he on home detention? Oh, jeez. Do you think it was an inside Photoshop job? Do you reckon he was actually inside a police, you know, maybe Rumataka prison cell

and then Photoshopped a house around him with his daughter in it? That's what my TikTok mates say. Put your tinfoil hat down, mate. Put your tinfoil hat down. That house sounds like an absolute shambles. We've spoken to her on a couple of occasions and Jacinda's like, oh, it's riddled with spiders.

Like white tails and everything going through the walls. It leaks. She says it smells quite musty. It's probably been around for a good 100, 150, 120 years. It's been around for a while, right? Needs a do-up. Needs a look at pay. I reckon the problem is if they do,

everyone will go, you're spending our taxpayer dollars on this? You know? So they're living in a thing with... But it's such a New Zealand approach to it as every Prime Minister's like, well, I can't do up this house. I'm just going to have to live in this shack

that's slowly falling to... It looks like an old haunted mansion. Yeah. But yes, we spoke to her once and she was so busy that she didn't have time to tell Clark to get rid of the spiders. So she got us to do it for him. That's right, we had to call him up and make sure that he got rid of that as well.

Next year he's the block, maybe they could do that up. The block Premier House. That's a great idea, but did you see those thunderstorms in Wellington? We've been seeing them on the news. Full on. Cray, you thunderstruck. Get better. Oh, is that why?

Thunderstruck. Oh jeez, I just wanted to play some ACDC. Oh, is that right? Pundastruck. Oh, jeez. I just wanted to play some ACDC. Nice, nice. Remember we had that wonderful segment, Pundastruck, as well. Have you got the intro for Pundastruck? You've been Pundastruck. Pundastruck.

We just did our puns. We basically ring up a business, like a post office, and then do puns to them. And we did it once, and we felt bad about ourselves. We were like, oh, this is just wasting someone else's time and our time. I thought it was the best segment you guys have ever done.

I lost confidence in that. It was really... We did lose confidence. I love that. It just went really quickly in Australia. Because we'd phone them and they'd be like,

are you done yet? Yeah, yeah. You know, it was kind of like we were inconveniencing their work day. And in Australia in the next couple of days,

KFC are putting on a real first experience over there, a dining experience, 11-course degustation. It's a hard word to say. KFC degustation. They've got a Michelin star chef who's redesigned the menu, and it's basically a competition that 20,000 people have entered for, and they get to eat KFC in a way they've never eaten before,

designed by a chef along with the company wines, really fancy sort of thing, and they get to enjoy that. Well, I see you have like coleslaw, like a tiny little bit of coleslaw on a massive plate the size of the moon sort of thing. Well, one dish is called the tongue twister, where you pick up your plate and you lick off the colonel's face to experience the flavours of KFC tomato, lettuce and pepper mayo.

So it's all been designed by a chef, like a really flash chef. You lick the colonel's face. Maybe I should have picked a better dish to describe because the food looks incredible. Not very COVID appropriate. Yeah. Oh, that's amazing. I reckon a lot about the food, and hey, I'm no expert, but there were those pictures of people who were stuck in MIQ

and they would redesign the meals, the shabby meals that would turn up in a polystyrene container. And it's all how it appears to the eye, isn't it? Yeah, a lot of it is what it looks like first, is how you interpret it's going to taste. You eat with your eyes, is what they say. Which you don't. You don't, yeah. I've never put lasagna through my eyeball. Kia ora, I'm Rachel

Jackson-Lees and this is The B**** News. This is a really enjoyable game we like to play on the show, isn't it? It's almost as fun as how nervous can we make Ben today? Another fun game we like to play. What's the format of this, buddy? So I've found a couple of news headlines that I think might interest you that are quite quirky

and I've beeped out a word or two and you guys have to guess what the full headline is. Your first news story. Former UK Government Minister accidentally ate biscuits meant f***. I'm going to say the biscuits were meant for the Cookie Monster. I mean, that's definitely where all the biscuits are meant for. And he wouldn't have been happy if he had eaten his biscuits.

Although he's not, I think we have mentioned this before, not great in getting a lot of it in his mouth. Well, for a guy who centres a lot of his life around cookies, you know, he doesn't treat them with the respect they deserve. Very messy eater, isn't he? He is a very messy eater. I'm going to go former UK government minister accidentally ate all of the biscuits meant for the disco later on that evening, which made for a very interesting meeting.

Yeah. Former UK government minister accidentally ate biscuits meant for the Queen's corgis. Oh yeah, dog biscuits. Dog biscuits. I can imagine the Queen's corgis. Oh yeah, dog biscuits. Dog biscuits. I can imagine the Queen, though, wouldn't be just your regular tux or something, right? Yeah, I think she has like a chef

that cooks specific biscuits with lamb and chicken. A chef that cooks the biscuits. But basically how this, this actually happened in 2008, but it's only been revealed now in a new book that's come out. So Alan Johnson, he was having a meeting with the Queen having a lunch at Windsor Castle

and there were cheese and biscuits and the Queen was tossing some of these biscuits to the dogs and so he saw these cheese and biscuits on the table, sees the Queen, oh yeah, whatever, she's probably just chucking him human crackers and cheese. And so he took one of the biscuits and put some cheese on it and ate it and then was told later, I hate to tell you, but those were actually for the dogs.

Well, don't put them next to the normal cheese platter. I know. That's the thing. The dogs have a very high ranking, so they probably do get very special treatment when it comes to their food. Well, thank you for that news from 2008. Hey, but no one knew about it until now. About a guy I didn't even know.

But anyway, I'll be... The next news story. Peter Pep Talk. In the US, begin free hotline to share words of encouragement. Okay, I'm going to go US hotline. I'm going to go, it's Donald Trump giving words of encouragement because he had a lot of faults, obviously, but he was very encouraging.

Everything was amazing. Everything was huge. Everything, you know. It was never a bad day in his life. No. Even when COVID was terrible and numbers were tanking, he still found positives. You just don't report the numbers.

Yeah. So I'm going to say just Donald Trump. I'm going to say the Pornhub organization have started a hotline to offer words of encouragement as well, which sometimes we all need, Ben. Don't worry, get back in there, mate. Need a pep talk? School children in the US begin free hotline to share words of encouragement.

So this is very cute. There's a specific number that you can dial. It is a US number. I tried to do it before the show, but it sent us straight to Arn's phone, so I don't know if we can actually access it. But it will connect you to a hotline called Pep Talk, which if you imagine a kid saying Pep Talk, that's probably how they got their name. And it features pre-recorded messages from a group of California school children

who offer advice and encouragement to anyone in need. And here is some that I found online. When you're feeling mad, you should take three deep breaths and think of things that make you happy. If you're nervous, go get your wallet and spend it on ice cream and shoes. If you feel mad or frustrated, you can do flips on the trampoline. If you're sad or angry, go get a cookie, a smoothie or an ice cream. Isn't that so cute?

It is. But do they know I'm 40 years old, I can't do backflips on trampolines anymore? And I imagine it's not a 24-hour line. Imagine after 7.30, it's like, well, time for bed. The kids all knock off. Yeah, exactly. That's adorable. Thank you, Jude.

No worries. Join us, Internet Wormhole. Ring Ring is at the fire Ju. No worries. Join us, internet wormhole. Ring Ring is at the fire service. We have a little boy stuck down a hole, an internet hole. I got lost again on the internet yesterday, Ben, and I got in a top 100 list, actually, but I've just narrowed it down to five, of the funniest cartoon characters of all time,

and I don't necessarily agree with them. Oh, really? The top five, and I don't think you will as well. So you're saying the top five aren't what you'd select as the top five? No. Okay. But then I also have to keep in mind that you know

cartoons nowadays may be totally different to cartoons from your 70s and 80s. Right. So I'm trying to keep an open mind with this. So you're looking for the best cartoon character of all time, and this is what? Funniest.

Funniest, okay. We'll get to the best tomorrow. I know there's stuff going on in the world, and there's none more important than this. So number five, number five. He's jaundiced in colour, slightly pudgy, and balding. No, it's not me. Homer Simpson.

Oh, number five. Number five. I'm waiting here. You have 30 minutes to move your car. You have 10 minutes. Your car has been impounded. I know you're a huge fan of Simpson. Yeah, I love the Simpsons.

I would have put him number one or two. Yeah. Funniest. Yeah. Bart Simpson, not even in the top 10. Really? Not even in the top 10. This is exactly what I figured.

All right. Number four. I think this is a deserving placement, Stewie Griffin. Hey, I'm Stewie Griffin, and I'm going to be kicking my dad's ass all day today. He's funny. I love him. Yeah, he's a funny cartoon character. I want to put him up a bit higher. Yeah.

Yeah, well, yeah, but I guess it's all the cartoons that you love. For me, those two are great cartoons. The next two, I think they're worthy of a top ten, but I wouldn't say top five. And two from the same program as well. Patrick Starr at number three

from SpongeBob. I sense no danger here. How could they be dangerous? They're covered with fresh cheese. Yeah, I like Patrick too. Yeah, he's a few slices short of a Chesdale pack,

isn't he? He's kind of like the me of that show. But yeah, Patrick, what did he choose? Number three. Yeah, I too. Yeah, he's a few slices short of a Chesdale pack, isn't he? He's kind of like the me of that show. But yeah, Patrick, what did he choose? Number three. Yeah, I wouldn't put him higher than Homer, but anyway, someone has. Number two from the same show, Squidward. Will you let go of that stupid pizza already?

Who cares about the customer? The tempered, lazy, cynical Squidward. Again, looks like you. Same attitude as well. But Spongebob's too old, Ben. This is why I wasn't happy with this one. No, I'm with you on this one. And this is where I think the huge bone of contention

is. I feel like he's been put in there for his legendary status. Can't take that away from him. But I don't think he deserves to be the number one funniest cartoon character of all time Bugs Bunny It's true, Doc I'm a rabbit, alright Little arrogant

Little self-entitled, isn't he? Not number one No, I wouldn't say You're right, he's been around for a long time You know, great career So I take it away from him Yeah, no, I'll tell you Do you know he's the ninth most portrayed film personality in history? Bugs Bunny And like you say, we're not going to take it away from him. Yeah, and I'll tell you, do you know who's the ninth most portrayed film personality in history?

Bugs Bunny. And like you say, we're not going to take that away from him. But is he the funniest? No. Who would you guys put as number one if you made that list? I would personally go Homer. That would be my pick. For mainstream appeal, laughs per show.

I'm picking Homer. Yeah. It's a travesty I'm Bugs Bunny and I could tell you were looking down your nose at my list of funny where's the comment section of that thing let me at it Ed Sheeran coming back to New Zealand

This person's cat looks like Ed Sheeran. We'll put it up on our Instagram. Oh my God, it does. look like Ed Sheeran? It does. That's iconic. Can you not say that? Oh my God. You can't.

You're comparing a cat to Ed Sheeran. I can't take away from the fact that it's a cat. It looks like Ed Sheeran. I mean, it's got red hair on top of it. I'm going to put it up on our social media. The hits breakfast on Instagram. Put it on our story short. It looks like Ed Sheeran.

It does. It really does. It's like putting uperan. It does. It really does. It's like putting up a photo of me and a naked mole rat and going, look, this naked mole rat, like Juliet, you say it looks like me. It does. I think I said that about you the first week and I was like overthinking. I was like, oh my gosh, I hope I haven't offended him. Yeah, we've never quite made our way back from that, have we, in our relationship?

No. Okay, why don't you put that Ed Sheeran photo up of me and a naked mole rat? Okay. We will. We'll see you. Okay. Let's go. Okay, anyway, back to Ed Sheeran, who we started with.

Let's get Brett on from Taranaki. Good morning. How are you, Brett? Good. Great to have you on. He's a farmer. He's into fishing. Two things that I can't have any conversation about, Brett,

but you want to go to Ed Sheeran, my friend? For sure. Okay, so here's how it's going to work. We're going to flip a coin very shortly. You're going to choose between Ed's or Tales, and if you're correct, you get the two tickets. But if you're not correct, we're going to make it... Basically today, we're going to give the tickets to the next

caller, aren't we? Yeah, so we'll get the next caller on, actually, so we can meet Michaela from Tauranga. Morena, Michaela, how are you? Morena, I'm good, thanks. How are you? Yeah, good, you savage. Waiting on the sidelines to steal these tickets off Brett. What do you want to say to Brett? I hope you lose.

I was expecting the good old hits. All the best. I hope it goes to you. But no, all right. Now, Brett, what do you want to say back? All the best. Yeah, there you go. And all the best.

Really, I hope you lose. Yeah, we know how you really feel. Okay, Brett, Ed's or Tails? We've got a giant 3D-printed novelty Ed Sheeran coin, also sprayed in toxic gold paint. Are you going to go Ed's or Tails, my friend? I'll go Tails never fails. Tails never fails.

Do you want it now? Do you want a big flick, medium flick, small flick? Small. Small flick, okay. Here we go. Count us down, Brett. Ed's or Tails? Or not. Okay Small flick, okay. Here we go. Count us down, Brady. Heads or tails? Or not.

Okay, three, two, one, go. Small flick. Oh, Brett. It's landed on heads. Oh, no. That's right. Michaela. Oh.

You're going to edge here in your one Brett's double pass. What do you mean? I can't hear what you're saying. Emotional scenes here. Oh, that's how it works, Ed's or tails. I'm so gutted for Brett. But Michaela gets that double pass to go see Ed Sheeran next year. Tickets on sale today, this morning.

What do you want to say to Brett now, Michaela? Hard like that. Maybe next time. Maybe next. There's not going to be a next time. It might? Hard luck, mate. Maybe next time. Maybe next time. It's not going to be next time. It might be. It's tomorrow morning. Same time. Spy. Know what's up. Spy.co.nz

Like a laxative, she's about to unload the backlog of celebrity entertainment this morning. What's happening? What a beautiful thought. So Ed Sheeran, Camilla Cabello and a couple of other people like Emily Sandy and the band Snow Patrol are all going to be performing at a concert for

Ukraine. So it's going to be in Birmingham next week on Tuesday and it's all to raise funds for the Ukrainian humanitarian appeal and it's going to be broadcast on TV over in the UK as well. So everyone who attends that concert, obviously those ticket sales will go towards Ukraine,

which is wonderful. One month today, sorry. One month that's been going on. Just poor people. And just millions and millions have fled the country. Many of the men have stayed to fight the war as well. And I was looking into the Ukraine facts on the weekend. The most educated country in the world, the Ukraine.

And the McDonald's in Kiev is the most visited McDonald's in the universe, Ben. In the universe? In the universe. You think of the universe. I'm thinking of the universe. Yeah, think of all the McDonald's in the universe. That's the most visited one. 44 million people live in Ukraine.

Yeah. Really, really sad. Do you think Putin watches any of the media coverage from the West and knows how the rest, like pretty much everyone in the world feels about his invasion? You'd think that would have to get to him somehow, right? Yeah, I would say so.

I feel like he's googling his own name. Do you reckon he'd have an alert on Putin? Probably. I know he's intrigued because he controls all the media all of the state media in Russia as well and they can only broadcast what the state allows. All of the propaganda. And even if you hold up

a tiny, I saw a lady in Russia who was opposed to the war she held up this tiny little bit of paper like even half the size of an A4 paper saying stop the war. Boom! She was swarmed on by about 10 soldiers. Oh, that's so sad. Yeah.

It's very sad. Well, hopefully this concert that they're doing is the start of some more fundraising, or like continues the huge amount of fundraising that's already been raised for Ukraine. Well, you say Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher raised over 30 mil. Yeah, 35 mil. Incredible. Really good. And you may have seen this yesterday at Brock.

Yesterday, Kylie Jenner, she posted a story on her Instagram basically saying that her son's name, he was born early February, is no longer Wolf. So they named him Wolf Webster, Webster being Travis Scott's real last name. And so a month and a half later, they've changed his name. And she said she wanted to let everyone know Because she keeps seeing the name Wolf everywhere And so they obviously felt that it wasn't the right name for the baby

I mean you do have to have a certain level of badassness To pull off a wolf, don't you? I don't know, I couldn't pull off a wolf Ben, you're not a wolf No, I'm definitely not a wolf I'm a very timid wolf That was funny You He'd be the subservient one in the pack. Yeah.

Interesting though and it's funny how you name, often you'll name a baby before you even see the baby, you know. And I can understand if it doesn't quite fit in this instance, so why not change it? And all babies look all red and wrinkly, don't they? You can't tell one baby apart from another. No offence babies.

I always wonder though, like, a baby is a baby. How do you, like, how does something sort of not suit a baby? Like, I feel like all babies look very similar. So, like, no matter what you name it. Well, leather pants don't suit a baby. Yeah, true. Have you ever seen leather pants on a baby? No.

I tried it once. There's a whole market for it. Have you ever, do you know anyone who's ever changed their child's name? I know my cousin. She decided she wanted to change her name early on. Really? Changed it. How old was she?

I can't remember exactly how old I was. Probably about four or five, I think. But it takes a big rebranding exercise, doesn't it? You know someone. Yeah, one of Poppy's friends. She changed her name at, I think, age four or five as well. But the problem is, you know, the people that knew you for the first four years of your life are always going to call you... Original name.

Yeah. Was that the little girl's choice? It was the little girl's decision. Right. Yeah, she just didn't feel the name fit her. Wow, that's so interesting. And it happened. Has it happened to you?

Oh, yeah, get in touch with us. 0800 the hits. Text 4487. Yeah. And I know Prince tried it, didn't he, for a while? Went to that symbol, but no one could pronounce it, so he went back to Prince. P. Diddy. He's very, you know, he's had 12 different names Went to that symbol, but no one could pronounce it. So he went back to Prince. He did. He's very, you know, he's had 12 different names over the years as well.

Very indecisive. 4487, have you changed your name or maybe you've changed your child's name? Love to hear from you this morning. It is The Hit, 716. The annoying ones talking between the songs. Jono and Ben on The Hits. Just talking before about changing names. Yeah, Stormy... Stormy?

Kylie. Kylie. Who's Stormy? Her daughter. Daughter. Yeah, I've got to keep up with those Kardashians. It's hard to keep up with them. I've been trying to keep up with them for years, mate. But yeah, she's changed her name.

Changed the name of her son. Wolf. Yes, but hasn't said what the new name is yet. So he's about a month and a half old now. She didn't think he was a wolf. No. They've got to know him. He ain't not a wolf.

Not for everyone, that name, but I imagine it happens a bit, you know, people changing names. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Yeah, the wolf was one of the characters of Our Age is Fortune, wasn't it, back in the day? Wolf was like the dad. Yeah. You've got to be uh a debt collector or something with the name like wolf don't you debt collector and enforcer for the gangs or something yeah i'll get wolf on it yeah again i'm looking at you being not a wolf not a wolf no yeah what about now

if i was to change my name i want to pitch one to you j pump oh my god no J-Pump. Oh, my God, no. What is J-Pump? Why do you always have to make it like you're a rapper or something? J-Pump. No. Where did you even get that from? Where did the pump come from? Call yourself to get it. You're working at a gas station. Maybe I'll call you J-Pump.

That'd be fine. It might be in a couple of Maybe I'd call you J-Pump That'd be fine Might be in a couple of years Yeah That's true That's old J-Pump I have a really good text That came through On 4487 About names

Yeah changing kids names It was a really lovely text This is from Sarah One of my favourite Parenting phrases Says Sarah Is let our children know That their names

Are a gift That can be returned If they don't fit Yeah But also It's a giant pain in the ass Too We need to tell these kids Well you've got to go through Our children know that their names are a gift that can be returned if they don't fit. Yeah. But also, it's a giant pain in the ass, too. We need to tell these kids. Well, you've got to go through.

We're going to have to do all the paperwork. The admin of it. But yeah, it can be done. Would you let your kids change your name now if they decided? Yeah. Yeah, I would. Absolutely. If they decided that they, for a good, genuine reason why they didn't think it suited or if they didn't like it or if they were getting picked on at school for something and it was, you know, sometimes that they, for a good, genuine reason, why they didn't think it suited, or if they didn't like it,

or if they were getting picked on at school for something, and it was, you know, sometimes that happens too. Yeah, like if you named a kid J-Pump or something. Yeah, like... Oh, yeah, true. Oh, we'll get Hemi on. Welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast. How are you, Hemi?

Yeah, good, good, mate. Great to have you on, buddy. Now, you've changed your name how many times? Well, I've had three different names Are you on the run from the law? No, I'm pretty safe there I'm a good boy Why have you changed your name three times?

And why has it been changed for you three times? So, my biological name was Lance Nathan Hemmehart. Right. And I was adopted at the age of two and a half. And my parents had adopted me just like my name, Lance. So they put three names in front of me. They put Lance, Nathan, and Sebastian. So your full name is Lance, Nathan, Sebastian, Hemi.

Well, if you want to put it that way, I'll answer all three of them. Wow. Wow. And so then you had to change. Sorry? Oh, I've made this fumbly and awkward. Sorry. Apologies from J-Pump here.

Then you changed to Hemi at some point, obviously. Yeah, yeah, and I didn't like the name Sebastian, so I changed my name to Hemi. So you've gone through three different birthdays and marriages, forms you've had to fill out. No, no, no, no, no, the Hemi, Hemi, I've changed. I've had Hemi since the age of 10, but I haven't done that one. Officially. I haven't done that one. Officially.

I haven't done that one by the default. Yeah, right. That's good. Just the first two. Well, that's the thing. I guess you don't officially have to do it. You just go around and go, hey, call me J-Pump or something, if that's what you want to be known as.

Well, don't do it with a question mark. Do it with confidence. If that's what you want to be known as. Well, that's interesting. Hemis didn't feel like he was a Sebastian So made the change Good on ya Good on ya

Bit of a rebrand Appreciate you listening to the show Hemi Have a great day my friend Awesome Good on ya Hemi Next What you should be washing Every six months

I don't think I've ever washed One of these in my life I'm still using one of these in my life. I'm still using one from 15 years ago, 20 years ago. What you should be washing every six months, it will make you dry reach. Oh God, don't do this to me.

All right, we'll do that next. It is the hits. You got Jono and Ben? Jono and J-Pump. J-Pump. The sure weather masks make them look a whole lot better. Jono and Ben on the hits.

Do you ever wander around your house and look at pillows on the bed and you're like, where the hell did that come from? You never know the origin of a pillow. It just is there. Oh, you mean originally? Yeah. Oh, you're getting extra pillow. I feel like I'm getting extra throw pillows. Oh, you've got 30 of them.

My wife loves them. Yeah. She just loves them. 30-odd pillows on top of your bed. So many. For display pillows. Not for sleeping on, not for putting your head on. It's just for display. That's pretty.

And it does, but it's a lot of admin, you know? Yeah, I know what you mean. I do see where you're coming from. Yeah. Looks like a bed from a home and garden magazine or something. Yeah, and we're not displaying them for anyone as far as I know, but anyway, that's fine. It's not about me right now. It's about you, Jono.

Yeah, so I was changing my pillowcase last night. And you notice on the pillow there's like yellow stains on the pillow. Do you notice that? This is like underneath. Underneath. On the actual pillow. And you're like, dear God, what is my face doing over the night to leave whatever this is? Well, through a layer of, you know, it's only had a layer of protection.

It's gone through that layer. What is my face excreting to cause this? And you don't want to think about it too much, do you? No. But I did. And I got into an internet hole, and I'm going to be very careful about what facts I spill out about the pillow because, you know,

I'm weary that we all have to use them at some point. Yeah, don't do one of these. No, I'm going deep. I know you don't need to get in your head, of all people. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, but let's just say, on average, the average person every year is excreting about eight pounds of skin. What? You said you weren't going to go there and now you have.

I'll leave that with you. It's too much. Don't leave to go there, and now you have. I'll leave that with you. It's too much. Don't leave that. So whatever you, you know. So how often should we be washing these things? Whatever bugs or whatever might live in that skin. Oh, stop. Is that like dead skin as well?

It's dead skin. Yeah, it's just fallen off. I won't go any further than that. No, that was way far enough. So how often should we be washing? Bloody, sorry, I teased it saying

every six months. I was wrong. Every three to four months you should be washing your pillow. I haven't washed my pillow in 30 or 40 years. How do you even

wash a pillow? Because you don't want to ruin it all under Apparently just put them in the washing machine. Oh, shoot. Have you ever washed a pillow?

No, but I have one of those Bambillos, those memory foam ones and I don't want to muck up the memory foam if I put it in there. Oh, yeah, can you put one of those through there? Yeah, I don't know. It doesn't have a very good memory if you muck it up just putting it in. True.

You're like, how did that go again? I forgot how I was about half an hour ago. Oh, well, that's something I didn't need to hear this morning. Yeah, but there's a lot of other great stuff about the bed that, you know, a bit of bacteria and stuff. Okay, stop. Stop talking. Can I wrap up now? Have you washed a a bit of bacteria and stuff. Okay, stop. Stop talking. Can I wrap up now?

Have you washed a pillow? I think my wife has done it from time to time. Or you get to a stage where you're like, these need replacing. That's when they burn this thing. Or we've got a spare bed. Well, I'll put them on the spare bed. The guests can have these. We spoke to someone once who lived in Dunedin when they were a student,

and I don't think they changed their bed sheets for about five years. Really? Five years. So then you do the maths on the eight pounds of skin per year. Okay, okay. Five words for 5K. You're just five words away from $5,000. It is our game of word association.

We play it every morning around about this time. Five words, $5,000. We tell you five words. You tell us what pops into your head after each of those words. If they all match up with our five words, you win five grand. I'll get Michaela on

to New Zealand's breakfast. How are you, Michaela? Yeah, good, and you guys? Yeah, we're doing well. It's lovely to have you on. They do say money doesn't grow on trees, don't they?

But it grows at the Hutt. Yeah, it grows in our weird glass soundproof booth. That's for sure. Ben's growing some other stuff in there at the moment as well. Apparently money grows in there too. Hey, Michaela, what do you do? I work at a holiday park. You sound like a friendly person who

would work at a holiday park too. Thank you. Yeah, I love my job. What's the weirdest thing that's gone on at the holiday park? Oh mate, it's too many to list. Oh really? Do you have some weird stuff happening? Do you have a jumping pillow? I always love a jumping pillow at the holiday park? Oh, mate, it's too many to list. Oh, really? Did you hear there's some weird stuff happening? Do you have a jumping pillow? I always love a jumping pillow at a holiday park. Yeah, we're getting one.

Oh, so good. Why are they only designated to holiday parks? I don't know. They should be everywhere. They should be. Makes it feel like you're on holiday, doesn't it? Do you have to clean out the communal showers? All of the above.

Mow the lawns, everything. Oh, Jack of all trades. Pulling that hair out of the drain must be a fool. If I could name a worse job, yeah, I wouldn't be able to. I do it at my house. I don't have hair and I know it's not my fault, but even me doing it. These are people close to me. I can only imagine you having to.

Okay, who are you going to send into the soundproof booth to match five words with? Let's go Girl Power. Let's go Juliet. Juliet. Just the second down a row. Double header. You got it, Juliet. We got five yesterday.

Well, off air, but come on, girl. Oh my goodness, okay. So she's making her way to the soundproof booth. Obviously, you know how the game works, Michaela. Absolutely.

She is in the soundproof booth right now. Jono behind the decks. The desk, not looking confident, but hey. It sounds cool when you say I'm behind the decks.

Sounds like I'm DJing an R&B or something. Just keep saying that. Here is your first word this morning. Five words, $5,000. It is mashed. Mashed. What pops into your head? Like M-A-S-H.

E-D. M-A-S-H-E-D. Mashed. Potato. Mashed potato. Now, potato. Mashed potato. Yeah, potato. Yep, cool. We're potato. Mashed potato. Yeah, potato.

Yep, cool. We're not going to plural. Okay, ironing. I-R-O-N-I-N-G, ironing. Oh, has Juliet ever worked at a holiday park? Oh, have you got a lot of ironing? Jeez, you do everything there. Absolutely.

No, let's go ironing board. Yeah, I think that's a sensible option there. She does like sewing and making clothes, Juliet, though, doesn't she? She does, actually. You're right. Yeah, I guess ironing board then, maybe. Beard is the third word. B-E-A-R-D, beard.

Do I go the opposite and go moustache? Can I come back to that one? Yeah, sure. Clip is word number four. C- to that one? Yeah, sure. Clip is word number four. C-L-I-P, clip. Care clip. Care clip. And speech is the final word.

Speech, S-P-E-E-C-H. Like peach? Speech. Oh, peach, sorry. You give a speech at school or something? I don't know. Oh, you're giving the hard ones. Oh, no.

Speech is a toughie. Let's just go... Oh, gosh. Now, listen, second day in a row I've done this, far be it for me to put words in your mouth. Well, don't. Oh, but you put them in everyone else's. You've got it.

You know, what would you attend where maybe you were competing against others who were doing the same thing? Oh, for speech. Yeah. Potentially. Yeah, that's a good one. Speech. I'm going to have to lock in an answer. I'm going to have to lock in an answer. I'll just go grand speech. Grand speech?

Yeah, that's alright. I know. Sometimes it's hard. And we're going to quickly whip back to beard. Are you going to go moust in an answer. Just go grand speech. A grand speech? Yeah, that's all right. I know. Sometimes it's hard. And we're going to quickly whip back to beard. Are you going to go moustache or are you thinking of something else? Either man or moustache. Let's just go moustache. All right. Well done, Michaela.

Those were some hairy words to tie into the moustache beard theme there, Michaela. Tough stuff. Let's see if she's locked in the booth. You all right there, mate? Yeah, I'm great. He's actually changed the lock so he can't leave us and go to France on April 1st. Oh, that's a great play, actually. Lock her in the soundproof booth? Yeah. That's quite smart. Is that kidnapping hay?

Yeah, the court's gonna say. It's a wacky radio promotion. Alright, Michaela, let's win you $5,000, get you a quarter of an avocado and maybe a little bit of gas. Half a tank of gas. Alright, first word this morning, mashed. Potato. Well done, well done.

One from one. Ironing is the second word this morning, Julia, ironing. Bored. Oh, no, you got that right. Sorry, that's my bad. Yeah, you got that right. Sorry, I pushed the wrong button. Gave me a heck of a fright. Okay, beard is word number three.

Beard, B-E-A-R-D, beard. Moustache. Well done. Holy moly. That's a good start. Three from three. Clip is word number four. Clip.

Bored. Damn it. What did you go, Michaela? Hair clip. Hair clip, yeah. And the final one was really, really hard. It was speech. Speech.

Oh, gosh, that is really hard. I mean, I would have said drama just because I think of speech and drama. Yeah, well, that's a tough one. Yeah, good answer. That was a tough one, Michaela. Hey, you've been a lot of fun to play the game with, Michaela. I'm so sorry it didn't work out today. It's all good.

Thanks, guys. Have a great day. Tested safe for listing from home. Jono and Ben on the hits. Now, we play a little game from time to time called close contacts where we give each other our cell phones, and then the other person gets to call anyone they want, any one of the contacts,

and then you basically have an awkward conversation trying to work out who they've called. Yeah, and you know the irony is actually, given producer Bee Humps who tested positive yesterday, we are all close contacts at the moment. So it's working on a couple of levels at the moment. Yeah, fortunately we've tested negative from a rats test this morning. Oh, you're negative?

Oh, yeah. Yeah, no, me too. You guys just didn't, okay, you know, I thought just coming in. No, you're close contacts. It's the most awkward radio since we both got our parents to do a paternity test, isn't it, Ben? Those were tense times, but it's my turn this week because last week you plugged my phone in and you rung Mark Sainsbury. I didn't know it was Mark Sainsbury and it took a while to figure out.

Hey, mate, how are you? Hello, John, how are you, mate? Yeah, good. Whereabouts are you living? Wellington. Oh, nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Whereabouts are you living? Wellington. Oh, nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So it keeps me out of trouble. Is this, it's Mark Sainsbury.

Yes. Yeah, you've run the wrong mark, haven't you? No, no. Yeah, it was very awkward. I love his, yeah, yeah, yeah. Just the fate of it. Because he doesn't know what's going on. That's the thing.

And you have to work out who it is. And today you've got my cell phone. I do. And all I'll say, I don't want to give too many clues. All I'll say is you're probably in contact with this person more regularly than I would be with Mark Sainsbury. Okay. That's all you need to know. I'm going to go through now.

Ben, you have to try and figure out who I'm calling from your contacts. All right. Hello. Oh, hey, how's it going? Hello, are you there? Yeah, I'm here. How's it going? Good.

Who's this? It's Ben. How's things? Good, mate. What's been going on? You know, just sitting around the house, stuck in isolation, crying kids as you can hear in the background. Oh, it sounds really full on. I've really called you at a bad time.

What's been happening apart from that? It's always full time. It's always full on here, mate. All right. What's going on? Oh, not too much. You know, same old, same old. What's been happening?

Yeah, yeah. Busy? Were you a busy operation? We're running a tight operation here, mate. We've got one in isolation, one four-month-old with possible teeth coming in, a grumpy me, a grumpy mum, you know.

Mum says she's not grumpy in the background. Oh, yeah. Just me. Oh, well, we'll have to catch up when you're out the other side of it all. Yeah, man. Let's have some beers. Yeah, that'd be great. It's been a while. When was the last time I've seen you?

I don't know if we've ever had beers, Ben. No, I don't know if we have. Have we? I think we should, though. Bring Jono. Yeah, we could. Actually, I'll just pass you on to him because I have no idea who this is. Who is this?

No. It's Brad Watson, who you work with on the radio station every day. I was like, I know the voice, but I'm like, what the hell is? Brad, we play a game called Close Contacts. I didn't know I had your number, Brad. That's terrible. I knew it was you straight away from your voice. You sent me a message in the back and was saying, nice to hear you back on the radio.

You don't even know what I sound like. Listen to your show. You've never listened. Listen to your show all the time. No, I do. But I just couldn't pick who it was. I was like, who is this voice? Well, there we go. We play close contacts, Brad, where I take his phone, plug it in,

and then he doesn't know who we're dialing, so he's got to slowly figure it out over the course of the call jeez I was not expecting someone so close to home you know like so close to the yeah

oh jeez I'm sorry Brad this is a nice to hear from you too mate let's do those beers eh yeah close mates beer stoves

yeah always good see ya alright see ya see ya bye see ya mate there we go oh that's all good that's all good yeah always good see you bye next staff meeting is going to be tense rated M

for mildly amusing Jono and Ben on the hits an unexpected guest came bounding into the lounge and it was a big white fluffy dog do you think it was my dog? I thought it was a big white fluffy dog. Now. Do you think it was my dog?

I thought it was Ben's dog. Ben's got a big fluffy white dog, Bo. Yeah. Very, you know, he's happy. Happy-go-lucky guy. But all his limbs are not working in sync, are they? His braking system's all off. Particularly, that's why I thought this was your dog

because it came in an absolute flash bounding and like a white horse like a white stallion and then i realized there was a wall in front of it so put the skids on and then just good 10 meters sliding on that fall then kabang like just came in like with the energy of a very jovial maximum security prisoner who had escaped hey guys i'm out it sounds like my dog but it wasn't my dog so your dog hasn't had a love child in any well not as far as i know this dog and your dog in the same vicinity like insurance premiums would automatically just go up through the roof within a 5k radius whose dog was it i don't know whose dog it was all right but um and then it

just bounded out as well wow um i have seen it running down the middle of the main road before as well it's just gonna it's it's down the middle of the main road before as well. It's just running. Just running. Just running everywhere. So I wanted to open the lines this morning, you know, misbehaving dogs. Or misbehaving animals in general. Have you witnessed one? Have you come into one?

Do you own one? You talked about my dog and I have brought, you know, my dog has given us a lot of great chats on the radio over the years. But my kids the other day were like, hey, they put me aside, they were like, hey, can you stop talking about the dog like that? All the time we have the radio on in the morning

is when the dog's around. What if he hears it? What if he's like, he thinks he's not a good boy. And I say, well, I love him. We love him. Tell him he's a good boy now. Tell him he's a good boy. How good is he? You're a good boy. And I was like, I love him. We love him. Tell him he's a good boy now. Tell him he's a good boy.

How good is he? You're a good boy, bye-bye. Yeah, bye. You're a good boy. Do you reckon you'll start second guessing and start having self-esteem issues? Yeah, that's what they were worried about. I'm being used as comic fodder here. Comic fodder on the radio.

Regularly. Yeah. You can't make jokes about your actual family because they'll get their feelings hurt no i can't even make jokes about the dog i mean god 2022 guys who can we mock i want to mock so i can't even mock a dog it's funny you mentioned about insurance claims uh juliet you found an article last night from the uk um this particular insurance company reckons about 800 home insurance claims because of animals particularly dogs but sometimes cats um causing damage in the home one dog it sounds like maybe is this insurance

fraud i've listened to this story a dog called whiskey um basically turned on the tap and flooded the house and when it was home by itself managed to turn on the tap and the house was flooded because the dog Inside job. Yeah. And so he didn't even have thumbs. I was reading this and I was like dog

mischievous dog name Whiskey turned on the tap and he also poured petrol all over the house and used a lighter and lit the house. Crazy

these dogs these days. Okay, 800 of the hits. Misbehaving dogs what have you got? 4, 4, 8, 7 pets. We'll open them wide. We hits. Misbehaving dogs, what have you got? 4487. Pets. We'll open them wide.

We're not going to discriminate in the animal kingdom, are we? That's right. Maybe you've got a wayward elephant in the backyard. You're essential listening for non-essential banter. Jono and Ben on the hits. We're talking misbehaving animals. Anna, how are you this morning? I'm very well, thank you.

Animals misbehaving, what happened? Oh, she's a naughty girl. We'd not long moved into our new home and I noticed get up in the morning, there's all these strangers' socks littered throughout the house. Very strange. And we finally figured out Bella

was sneaking over to the neighbour's house and stealing their garments. So Bella's a cat dog? Cat. So a cat burglar, basically. What sort of garments is Bella stealing? Okay, well, it started with socks. I gathered them all up and I put them in a bag

and did the walk of shame across to the neighbours and introduced myself and they thought it was hilarious. So that was okay, but then women's knickers started turning up. Then the addiction upgraded. But the final straw, I woke up one morning, leaned over, and there's a pair of men's boxes lying beside the bed. I thought, hang on, I don't remember having that sort of night last night. So, yes, I was too embarrassed to take those back, so I binned them.

Well, see, this is the thing. I've had this happen to me. My dog and another person's, a friend's house, came back with, you know, undergarments from the neighbour's house, and I brought it back, and that's an awkward conversation because everyone, they look at you going, yeah, sure, it was the dog, and that's what Jono's looking at me like now. Yeah, I mean, the thing is there's no thrill stealing your own underpants, is there?

No, not really, no. It's the thrill of the chase for that cat. Wonderful. Well, you and your underpants have a great day, okay? We will. You too. Rosie's on 0800 HITS. Rosie, you've got a story for us.

I do. I do. So basically we had just bought a couch off this sweet old lady on Trade Me. And that night, my family had found my dog eating an adult toy on said couch. Hold on. Was the toy from the couch you purchased? Yes. So, yeah. Oh, so she had left her toy. Oh you purchased? Yes, so, yeah.

Oh, so she had left you a toy. Oh, it tucked down. Sorry, sorry. So to spoil it, it was my adult toy. Oh, what has the couch got to do with anything? No, you've got to leave me finished. Oh, sorry. So my family had said, Rosie, we found something really funny.

Can't wait to show you. I got home that night and they ushered me into the kitchen. Oh, my gosh, Rosie, look. So funny. They, like, lifted up the paper and I saw my adult toy. They were laughing. I was absolutely mortified. I grabbed it and I walked off.

And I saw them. They were processing. And then they clicked. And what was so funny was that they thought it had belonged to the sweet old lady who had sold us the couch. And they thought that she'd been having a little too much fun with herself. She loved that couch. It's a dog with a boner.

Oh, my goodness. They're like, Rosie will love this. Look what we found on the couch. You're like, oh, okay. Well, you could have pinned it on the old bird too, Rosie. I know. Literally, my brother was like, because the cat was out of the bag,

and my brother was like, you literally could have just played it off. And I was like, well, I, the cat was out of the bag, and my brother was like, you literally could have just played it off, and I was like, well, I'm going to come over and find my adult toy on the kitchen counter. It was just so funny. Where did you keep it for safekeeping, and how did the dog get into it?

Well, yeah, so I normally left it under the pillow, so she found it, and it yes, naughty little dog. Oh, Rosie. I'm not happy with her. We're going to send you out some hell pizza. Now delivering beer and wine as well.

You can hook yourself up with some pizza, all right? Thank you so much for sharing. Thank you. Thank you. It's Katy Perry, I Kissed a Girl, 824. You're on the hits, Jono and Ben. She wouldn't be doing that now. I like that from people's tanks with the hose, and we've got a huge amount of it to give away right now. It's a pretty amazing competition, all thanks to gas petrol service stations. Supporting gas, you're supporting Kiwis. 100% Kiwi-owned, so right now,

your chance to win basically an unlimited amount of gas. Okay. Me? Do I get to play? Not you, unfortunately. It felt like you were talking directly to me. I'd love to be able to play that, but the next caller through on 0800 that hits

automatically gets $50 worth of free fuel. And then they decide, we head to the petrol pump on radio, and they decide where they want to stop. They've got to stop before the buzzer. Otherwise, if we hear the buzzer, they get nothing but the $50. You know, this feels like somewhat of a familiar format. One that I'm comfortable with. I love it. It's so much fun. All right, let's get Ash on from Auckland. Welcome, Ash.

How are you? Morning, Guy. Great to have you on, Ash, Daddy. Now, did you know that Auckland are most expensive fuel prices because you're paying tax as well on top of that? Oh, I definitely do know that. Yeah. You don't need to tell Ash about petrol prices. No, we won't even bother talking about that, but well done.

First off the rank, you got $50, okay? Yeah. So what we're going to do is we're going to send you to the pump right now on the radio, and then you need to decide where you want to stop. And if it gets to the buzzer, unfortunately you get nothing but of course that $50 from the start. Okay, so you're a winner anyway.

You walk away a winner. Now, we were talking about a new nickname for me before 8 o'clock, J-Pump. Can J-Pump run the petrol pump? Yeah, over to J-Pump. You can take thisump run the petrol pump? Over to J-Pump. You can take this away. I think we've explained this well enough, right? All right. Okay, Ash, you just say stop when you think you've got enough.

J-Pump is putting the nozzle in now and pushing the button. Here we go. $50. $67. $78. $67. $78. $89. $125. Oh, it's a full tank.

$155.50. Stop. Hey! Well done. You pushed it. Yeah, you did well. So that's $150. My tank tank's $150, so I was like, I've got to get there. I've got to get a full tank.

Oh, you've got a free tank of gas. Just a hookup like that. Well done. All thanks to Gas Petrol Service Stations. Shall we keep going to see what this is what you could have got? Oh, go on then. How much did it go up to? $170.

$182. $182. $230. Oh, okay, so you actually played a pretty good game. You know when to pull out. Well done, Ash. You did well, mate. Thanks, guys. That's great. So next time you're driving around town, you can think of us, all right? I do every time. Oh, well, thanks. Well, we driving around town, you can think of us, all right? I do every time. Oh, well, that's good. We probably should concentrate on the road more than us, but we appreciate the sentiments, Ash. You have a lovely day. You too.

Bye. Good on you, mate. Next, just to play at 5.20 with Brad and Laura this afternoon. It's all thanks to Gas Petrol Service Stations. 127 gas petrol service stations nationwide. It is the hits. Two semi-competent dads handing out semi-competent parenting advice. Jono and Ben on the hits.

Got myself into a bit of a confusing situation with my daughter, Indy, at the moment. It's actually one of the things I look forward to each day is saying goodnight. You know, it's a night for the kids, tucking them to bed, saying goodnight to Indy, and we always have a bit of a chat. And on Sunday night, she's quite good at asking questions. Maybe it's a stalling tactic for going to sleep. Sometimes you do feel like you're getting played, don't you?

She's like, got anything exciting happening tomorrow at work? Well you could have brought this up at 3 o'clock in the afternoon if you wanted to know how exciting my work was tomorrow. But I did. On Sunday night I was like, oh yeah, tomorrow we're giving away rental mortgage thanks to oneroof.co.nz. I always get the sponsors in, no matter if it's on radio on radio not on radio i like to get that

across this bedtime conversation brought to you by one roof.co.nz uh if you just hold this product to camera thank you andy and then i said to her i've got a thing exciting for you at school tomorrow and she's like well not that i know of and then anything brought to you by one roof.co.nz then i guess i was still in the radio mode for some reason. I was like, oh, you've got that test. And you could see her go, huh? You know, she's ready for bed. She's here at Sunday night. And I was like, yeah, the test.

She's like, what test? And I was like, oh, the capital city test of capital cities around the world. And you could see her just like, what, what? Why have you not mentioned this before? I couldn't do it until I had to say, like, I was just joking. I was just joking.

So there's no shitty joke. Oh, you've oh do i i'm what capital cities around the world but even like my my wife amanda went in afterwards and then came back to me uh and goes did you tell india she had a testimony on capital cities this is a very odd brand of comedy here very odd brand of comedy but then india and last night, we actually ended up looking into more capital cities and into why things are capitals. It's kind of weird. Wellington was just, it's basically convenience. It was in the middle of New Zealand.

It wasn't up north. It was the original capital. Yeah. And then they were like, well, hey, we'll just put it here because it's the middle of New Zealand and there's a harbour. That's where we'll put it. Well, convenience is a good option for a camera. It's kind of a compromise.

Aussie didn't go for convenience when they went to Canberra, did they? No, but again, looking into that, it was kind of between, they were like, oh, we can't decide between Sydney and, you know, like Melbourne, Victoria, you know, like Melbourne and, of course, New South Wales and stuff. So like, we'll give it to someone else. Someone else we didn't make it as far.

Oh, yeah. Didn't they choose the one that's like in between to like It's like Canberra. Compromise on the fact that i couldn't decide on sydney and melbourne but i got myself into an interesting situation because i was clearly clearly joking to indy and i thought i'd said i was joking but then she came home last night going did really well on the capital city test and now i'm like she's she even saw my head or did i predict that it was going to be a capital city test at school did she have have a capital city test? Well, I don't think she did, but I don't know.

She's kept up. She hasn't dropped the, the drop, the joke if she did. So I'm like, did I? I started, this is a weird prank.

Why don't you guys just reset and go, Hey, listen, sorry, that capital city thing got away on us. Let's just put a pin in there. I think I need to, right?

Cause she's like, well, and now when I put it to bed, she's like, well, what's tomorrow's test at school? And I'm not going to come up with fictitious tests. in there I think I need to right because she's like and now when I put her to bed she's like well what's tomorrow's test at school and I've got to come up with fictitious tests

well I think they are but maybe they're not coming true world leaders tomorrow mate better study hard for that in the morning what I love about Indy is it always feels

like you're talking to like Greta Thunberg you know she's a quarter of my age but I know your intelligence is way above me oh yeah she'd be mortified

if she missed the fact there was a test the next day. You could tell she was like, what? She's probably actually ironically lured every capital city in the world now. Just in case. Okay, well, thank you very much. I don't know why I'm thanking you. Oh, thank you. Thank you.

Thank you, Ben. Not enough thanks and gratitude on this show. Tested on this tomorrow. Hey, next on the show, David Seymour. He's just brought out something. He's released something. Was it unusual for an MP? We'll tell you what it is. Hard-hitting interviews and informed

opinion. Mike Hosking on Newstalk TV. In the meantime, Jono and Ben on the hits. Big announcement from the Prime Minister today. It's all around COVID-19 rules, vaccine passes, mandates and QR scanning. They reckon there could be a chance that gathering limits could change this weekend.

Because there's a hundred limit at the moment, isn't it? Yeah, so obviously there's Cricket World Cup, the Women's Cricket World Cup going on at the moment, so potentially there could be bigger crowds over the weekend. So we'll find out today. But it's taking a while because they had this cabinet meeting on Monday, I think, and it's not been announced today what's happening. And David Seymour from the ACT Party coined a great phrase about how long we're waiting for Jacinda Ardern.

In the next 48 hours, we'll use that time to make sure that some of the changes that were made, even this afternoon by Cabinet, that we've finalised those. She's made the decision that we have to wait an eternity to find out what it was. Yeah, beautiful pun. What a pun. Yeah, stunning stuff. QR code.

She's been using the QR code scanner for about two years. They reckon there's only 300,000 people doing it at the moment. I'm certainly not one of them. I was a big fan of it for a while. You were a scanning nerd. He would scan into work. He would scan. No, it was good.

It was great. Don't mock me and then go, Oh, it and then go it's great you're doing that it's not yeah anyway i felt like you were scanning in for both of us because we spent so much time together i was like where was he i was probably there too yeah a little bit of that yeah we want to call david seymour because we uh we feel like there's some money to be made here a money-making venture uh with his-liners. So we'll go through what I like about David Seymour. He will always answer his phone. Hello, David Seymour. Always available.

Who's this? Always available. It's John Owen Ben again. Oh, you guys. Thank you so much. I wake up every day. I think I wonder if they'll call me. And we've done it.

We've done it. David, you're always on the news with great quips, one-liners, and we were impressed by the Ardernity the other day. Well, I learnt it from two guys. One was called Jono and the other was called Ben. New Zealand's preeminent comedians and political communicators of great wit. It's such a pleasure to hear from you.

And you're right. We're having to wait in eternity. Actually, we're trying to get it in the dictionary. Eternity is the time you have to wait between December making a decision and telling us kids what it is. Well, it's coming today, that decision. We're going to know what it is today. And it's just played beautifully into our punny hearts, David Seymour.

And do you know what we've done? What's that? We've made an album. We can all cash in on this, Seymour. You're in on this. We'll give you a 10% cut. It's an album of all of your greatest quips and one-liners. Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi. I'm David Seymour. Out now, Act Leader

David Seymour's quirky quips. She's made the decision, but we have to Ardernity to find out what it was. Featuring all of the greatest grabs from the one man, one liner machine. The mask of kindness has slipped off the Ardern government. We're now outsourcing our maternity care to the Taliban. He's your local MP representing Zingertown. The Prime Minister is dragging out

the border opening decision longer than the saga of whether Ross and Rachel were on a break. So act quickly and get your copy today. What do you reckon, David? I was going to say

I might need more than 10%. Is that what you're polling at, 10%? Or is it better than that? It's about that. I reckon with the joggo and Ben army behind us, we could definitely take this country. Now, what if...

I'll give you one more. You know, she's going to keep these restrictions and vaccine passes and QR codes. It's all going to stay until April 13 when we open the border to tourists because we're not allowed to have the lollies until the guests arrive. Is that

tonight's one? Are you going to get that on the news tonight? Oh, I hope so. I hope I haven't scooped it on Jono and Ben, but actually no, I'd be proud if I had. Okay, good on you, David Seymour. Love your work, mate. You're running late, stuck in traffic, and now you have to listen to this. Jono and Ben on the hits.

Scrolling through your feed. All right. After multiple attacks at my hair loss, he puts the bully into bulletin. And here he is, Ben Boyce, with Scrolling Through Your Feed. A cute little cat story for you today to brighten up your day. A cat in the UK has amazed its owners after being found after missing for eight years. So the cat's been away and they got a call from the vet because the cat was, of course, microchipped. And they got a call from the vet going, did you lose a cat?

And they're like, yeah, maybe like eight years ago. And now they've got the cat back. Oh, would you be like, oh, we're not. We kind of got used to not having one. We're now dog people now. Sorry. You need to go buy whiskers and chef and things like that. They're pretty crazy you know

so mate you always hear tales of cats you know hopping on you know trucks on inside trucks and going for rides

oh yeah we had a cat as a kid and we moved to another house and it was about five kilometers away and three times

the cat walked back there and you know I don't know how the cat's got some sort of GPS system working out how

it goes back to the other house you tried to get rid of that cat many times no we just took it to the new place. We're like, you live here now. And then the cat would go.

Which is an odd concept for an animal. Because how do they know? Oh, I guess this is our new house. They can't figure that out. Yeah, the cat's like, oh, I liked it back at the other place. And all my mates were in the block. Do you know, I've been looking online, Ben, the top 20 OnlyFans earners. Oh, yeah?

That was a segue, wasn't it? That was a great segue. Do you know the biggest earner earns $20 million a month? $20 million a month? A month. On OnlyFans? No, $20 million. Her name's Black Chyna.

I don't know if her sister, Good Chyna, is also doing content on there as well. And it's not all saucy material, were just saying because there's a Disney star Bella Thorne I don't know Bella Thorne yes I used to watch her at a Disney TV show well she's on OnlyFans but apparently doesn't do any

you know any stuff yeah right any well makes a lot of money makes a lot of money as well she's earning 11 million a month I wanted to do the OnlyFans account

but just pictures of like fans like oscillating fans you know like you're like ooh here you go there's a pedestal fan for you oh that's the high velocity floor fan here we go that's what you get from my to 10 for 59 that's what i think oh there's a run i 2018 yeah lovely it's a good idea but actually speaking of only fans i saw something the other day someone posted and it might have been done before um but they posted it and it was like the OnlyFarms account. So you have OnlyFans, but then you have OnlyFarms. And you post farm for people that like farms.

I was like, oh, OnlyFarms. Great idea. So what, like you check a photo of a paddock or something? Oh, that's a nice paddock. Yeah. You want to see more of the paddock? Oh, so you're running a Friesian cow there. Yeah.

Let me see more. That was a great idea. It's one of those ones like, damn, I wish. You know Friesian cow there. Mmm, let me see more. That's a great idea. It's one of those ones like, damn, I wish. You know, the pun's good. You know, it's always a pun. I don't know. The clever wordplay, whatever it is. You could also do OnlyFams.

Oh, OnlyFams? So it's just photos of your family. My OnlyFams account. Pretty good for you and your family. Maybe that's just for a photo stream. Other people are like, who's this? Oh, that's my cousin. Oh, okay.

Why am I paying for this? Want to see more? Here's my nana. All right, here we go. What, $9.99 a month I'm paying for this? Hang on, I want to see what it is.

Oh, sorry, I took a wrong turn. Do you want his mum? Oh, yeah, okay. Does your nana take her top off? Okay, we're going to wrap that up there, I think. It's probably been the best.

Tomorrow on the show, we've got more gas, more fuel to give away, which is pretty exciting, and more Ed Sheeran tickets as well, which will be awesome. Yeah, we'll catch you guys tomorrow from 6 o'clock. Go and have a wonderful Wednesday. Stay safe, stay sanitised. See you tomorrow. Jono and Ben, brought to you by Resene, New Zealand have a wonderful Wednesday. Stay safe, stay sanitised. See you tomorrow.
