Episode Date: March 24, 2022

We spoke about "Sibling Stunt Doubles" and chatted about the things your sibling would convince you to do when you were younger, or vice versa. We had one caller who managed to convince her brother he could fly if he jumped off the garden shed with an umbrella! Ben's wife Amanda has been having very odd dreams & is sleeptalking about them, and turns out we are VERY popular with the dentists! Enjoy!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Hits with the Jono and Ben podcast. G'day guys, 25th of March, it's Jono and Ben here and Julia who's fastidiously wearing a mask in the studio. You're doing a good job there, aren't you? I'm at the point where I literally cannot afford to catch COVID. Oh yeah, because you're going away soon, so we could keep you around if we... Yeah, that's a tactic you guys, that's a tactic you guys... Yeah, like some sort of honey trap sort of thing.

Mask back on. What was it, parent trap thing that they sort of trapped? Lindsay Lohan. Yeah. I still haven't seen that movie. It's on my list of things. So we could do some sort of, you know. Yeah.

I don't know how legal the COVID sort of honey trap would be, the parent trap, but I have to keep Juliet around. But hey. Are you saying you're trying to trap Juliet? I don't know what I'm saying anymore. Julie, if the podcast audience might not know, you're departing to France to work on billionaires' super yachts. I am.

As they do disturbing things with their money. I mean, what do they do? What? There's an obscene amount of cash in some of those yachts. Yeah. I think what I've heard is you don't realise how much money people have. You kind of go onto the boat and you actually, it gives you an insight.

Like they waste so much. They just like chug through petrol. Like my friend, I was talking to him, he worked on a super yacht and when the owners were on board, the owner said, I want you to put up the front sail and the front sail costs $250,000. And you can't put it up in high winds because otherwise it would just blow off and break

and it was too high winds for them to put it up and they're like no no no we can't do it we need to do it when the winds are a bit lower and the owner was like I don't care I just want to see it go up and break and so they like put this sail up, watched it break and there's $250,000 to replace a new one but they've just got so much money. He just said I want to

see it go up and break. She's like, it doesn't matter. It literally does not matter. So you obviously sleep on the yacht somewhere. Where do they put you guys? They put us in little cabins. You're sharing rooms and you're in these tiny little bunks. So are you at the beck and call whenever they need anything?

Yeah, probably. Yeah, I'd say so. It's like the show below deck. I haven't even seen it, but I assume that's what it will be like. Right. What happens when the billionaires aren't on the boat? Are you still living on the boat? You're still living on the boat, and you're not working as hard. You're just working, just like probably maintaining the boat.

And you get a bit more freedom. You get your weekends off then. You get to explore wherever you are in the world. And then when the owner's on, which is probably only for a few months of the year, that's when you're working literally 14 hour days. You're just going hard. So they don't rent it out for like... They can do if they want to make some money off it.

It's a good investment. Like counting lunch about Airbnb sort of thing. Well they can do. If they're not on board, they can rent it out. Now I have another question. At what point, how far into working with us did you decide that this was going to be a career change for you? She hasn't got the job and she's like, I'm leaving. Do you know, how far into working with us did you decide that this was going to be a career change for you? She hasn't got the job and she's like,

do this job that may or may not exist. That's how much she hates working with us. Did you know, honestly, I had no, I knew that at some stage I always wanted to go on an OE but I had no... We fast-tracked that decision. No! No! I was thinking for my 30s.

I went, jeez, I can't put up with it. We could have got you a job in the Inter-Islander. Oh, shit, yeah. Full of spherium. Yeah, full of spherium. True. No, and then. So you can clean the toilets.

Team New Zealand, we could have maybe asked them. I know, shit, I know, I know. It's five a year. I was going to, no, but I wasn't even going to go on the boat. So I was just going to go straight to London. And then it was actually towards the end of last year when lockdown made me sort of re-evaluate my life. And I kind of just thought,

I think not being able to leave the country made me kind of want to do it more. And I just felt like I was really adrift. So it's been a major deal. No, no. Lockdown did. It was awesome. Lockdown kind of did.

Now's when you need to do it. Yes. I mean, I'm not going to go off and work on a super yacht with a billionaire and his prostitutes. That's not for me. Not all like that. Hey, Jen and family, I'm going to go and scrub the decks. Well, that is part of the reason because I am not in a relationship and I want to do it while I have my own choices to make. You won't regret it.

You won't regret it. What a wonder. And we're very happy for you. We're very sad to lose you. I know. It will be very sad. I will be very sad. We keep saying we're replacing Juliet with three people.

That's probably true. Yeah. Yeah. Why did you have to be so good at stuff, Juliet? I don't know. But maybe that goes to show that if there's someone like me who can do some good stuff, then maybe you might find another me. Another you that'll go off and leave us.

That's the thing. Young, good people, they go off. That's what we've learned in this industry, haven't we? Old, dusty ones, we stay together, don't we, mate? We're in for the long walk. Together for the kids, that's what I'm saying. Enjoy the podcast, guys. If they were the internet, you'd want to clear this history.

Jono and Ben, on the hits. I went to the dentist yesterday. Your teeth look fantastic. You've got fantastic teeth. Stop it, stop it. He does. I'm still going to stay with you. You don't have to give me compliments. If I could lick those teeth, if these were different times and weren't COVID-related, I'd lick those teeth right now. They're so nice.

You're doing what I did a while back, the Invisalign, eh? The Invisalign, yeah. It's basically like a snake permanently. Have you got it in now? Yeah. Yeah, you're pretty used to it now. You're getting better with talking with it. You're getting used to it.

I couldn't, like, if someone doesn't know what Invisalign is, it's kind of like. It's a mouth guard, isn't it? Yeah, instead of having braces, they sort of slowly push your teeth. Bully your teeth into position. Yeah, over time, and then you put on a new mouth guard a couple of weeks later, and that bullies your teeth for a couple more weeks.

Much like braces would do, but you can take them out to eat, or you can take them out if you... And they're clear, so they don't look like you've got... No, but you say that about Invisalign, but you look at... I feel like if you looked at me like, something's not adding up.

Something's very shiny. See, he's hiding them. He's got his lips wrapped over his teeth. But imagine you with braces right now. Yeah, you can't roll braces, can you? Well, you can, I guess. You can, yeah. It's a cheaper and quicker option, I think.

Yeah, but it's certainly not the sexiest apparatus, is it, the old Invisalign? Especially when you pull it out, there's like about nine strings of saliva that come out. Your wife kept going, you're so hot right now. Yeah, take your teeth out again. Take your pupsies out. She's like, I'm dating someone at a retirement home. But I went to the dentist yesterday,

and one thing I noticed is sitting in the reception, they're playing the hits hits which we thought was cool and then I went upstairs because I was just seeing the hygienist getting my teeth sort of cleaned and stuff and then again

it was playing upstairs playing through the whole the whole dentist place oh great coverage yeah nine out of ten dentists recommend listening to the hits I know

she's like you don't know how often I hear Jono and Ben Jono and Ben all day long I'm like oh jeez was she insinuating

this is a good thing or a bad thing? Or had it become a torture? Yeah, I don't know. Maybe I found something more painful than going to the dentist is having to listen to Jono and Ben. Or maybe that's it. Maybe that's why they put them on there.

They're like, hey, well, hey, it can't be any worse than this. Mornings are funnier with Jono and Ben. Yeah. All day long. My dentist, Marina, she listens to The Hits as well. I don't know, maybe we're cracking the dental community.

Let's get the figures of the dentist audience. Yeah, don't worry about everyone else. Jeez, maybe we're killing it. If you ever want to advertise with us,

then you'll nail the dentists. It's Jono and Ben, but FYI, Ben is open to other options. Jono and Ben, on The Hits. Want to bully Elton John in the morning, mate? It's his birthday.

I'm not going to bully him on his birthday. We'll wait till Monday. But no, I thought he would have been a bit younger, Elton John. I was picking sort of 65 to 70. He looks great, doesn't he? Yeah, I know what you mean. I think I probably would have said maybe 70-ish. He can get the Super Gold card if he lived in New Zealand now, can't he?

Oh yeah, true. Yeah, due for the pension. But I've just got on a list here of 20 stars that you think are way older than you think. Okay. Pharrell, 44. Oh, wow. Wouldn't have picked that. He's got great skin.

Wow. He does have amazing skin, Pharrell, doesn't he? Keanu Reeves, 52. Wow. I thought Keanu would be in his 40s. Okay. Selma Hayek 51 How old is Dr. Dr. Dre

He's a lot older than you think too isn't he See this is how long ago is this Because Pharrell's 48 now currently So what article are you looking at Well clearly this is articles from 4 years ago Because I was actually looking at Pharrell the other day That's why I was like oh he's not 44 That's what I was reading the other day.

Well, I like to present my news from four years ago. This is why you think they're actually not as old as they are, because you're Googling. Dr. Dre, 57. Is he? Or is he like, have you got that right? He might be 67. Who knows?

All right, let's get to some action. Spy. No what's up. Spy.co.nz. All right, she has seven days to go on this job. And she still hasn't checked out, Ben. out Ben You're a better person than me Juliet Oh really? Okay, I'm trying not to check out He just yawned though, he literally just yawned

I've got a coffee in my hand, ready to go So Harry Styles has announced his new album It's called Harry's House and it's going to be out on the 20th of May so I bet you that we will be playing a couple of bangers when that album is released. We will make you sick of Harry Styles, don't you worry about that. Harry Styles is a good name.

Yeah, it's quite cool. Do you know him with Harry Hardout or something? It's always a keen side. Harry Hardout. Come on somebody, Harry Hardout. That's good. They kind of have different connotations though. Harry Hard.

Oh yeah. Harry Hardcore, Hardcore Harry. You like Harry Styles, don't you? I do, yeah, I do quite like him. He's quite fun. Was he. You like Harry Styles don't you? Yeah I do quite like him. Was he on your list of people you would marry? Yep. Who else is on there?

Bieber obviously. Sean Mendes. Oh yeah Sean Mendes. He kind of fell off. Yeah fell off the Sean Mendes bandwagon. He kind of looks a little bit too young

for my liking. You know what I mean? He's quite a youthful looking person. Anyway. But he's actually 82. This article I'm reading. And Leona Lewis is pregnant with her first baby with her husband, Dennis, who she married in 2019.

She posted a photo on the Gram showing off her baby bump. Oh, that's great. Well, if she has another one, she can keep breeding. Keep breeding. I was wondering if you guys were going to come up with a pun from the song. Just glad I did. That was on the spot, too. I'm proud of that.

Well done. And Olivia Rodrigo, she's got a new documentary out called Driving Home To You, and that's about the making of her debut album, Sour. And actually, I haven't listened to Olivia Rodrigo in quite a while. I went through a phase of like a solid month where she was just the only thing that I listened to, and I kind of just forget how good some of those songs are yeah she was

you know she nailed it she got her driver's licence finally that was a big one wasn't it she did you were a big fan of Olivia Rodrigo oh you were

my kids were really into her as well so this song's really really cool so good so good she's kind of rocky rocky vibes

He was a Disney star Was he? Yeah, and, he does big boxing fights with Floyd Mayweather and stuff. He was a Disney star. Was he? Yeah, and I think he was getting grief from someone going, oh, you know, these are just, you know, these boxers aren't playing properly. He's like, I'm a Disney star. Yeah, they were like, you're just fighting people that are out of has-beens or whatever. And he's like, yeah, I started acting in Disney. Oh, Disney.

Disney. That's outrageous. I wasn't a boxer. That is one hell of a pivot. He's very good too. Disney. Is that outrageous? I wasn't a boxer. That is one hell of a pivot. He's very good too. And that is your spy update for this hour. For more, you can head to the hits.com. Hey, next we want to talk about what Jacinda Ardern got asked over live Instagram.

This could only happen in New Zealand. It is the hits. You've got Jono and Ben. Scrolling through your feed. He may not have a proper suit and tie like a normal newsreader, but he's got a cool Space Jam t-shirt, and that's why we love him. Ben, what's happening in the news? A lot of big announcements this week, of course, from the Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern.

Goodbye to vaccine passes, goodbye to scanning. Most of the mandates seem to be getting dropped. Crowds are coming back, which is pretty exciting. But just afterwards, after she made all these big announcements, Jacinda Ardern, Prime Minister, took to social media and did one of her Instagram Lives. She loves those, doesn't she? Oh, does she?

Because every time, if I was the Prime Minister and I had to go on and do an Instagram Live, I'd be like, here we go. You know? Because the comment section's wide open. Oh, yeah, it is. And there were some questions, some actual questions, about all, you know, things to do with COVID.

If she hated Jessica and Toby, she must really hate the internet comment section. But then there was this question that came through, obviously on her comments, and she replied. Someone has asked me to twerk. That's a hard no. Imagine that. Like, seriously, picture it in your brain right now. Imagine if she did it. She's like, okay, all right, I'll do that. You asked for it. The people want it. That's what they want. Get a thousand retweets

and I'll twerk. Can you twerk? Who did that come from? Jessica or Tova? Well, true. Yeah, the hard-hitting questions. David Seymour did it though, didn't he? He's the MP for twerking and cum, David Seymour. Yeah. Yeah, his twerking

was, it left me with an uneasy Yeah. Yeah, his twerking was, it left me with an uneasy feeling. Yeah, I mean, I'm no dancer, but he gave it a bash, and he didn't care. Okay, that's a twerk off. Juliet, you judge. Who's the better twerker?

Ben or me? Right now. I've got no twerking ability. Right now, okay. When I see Juliet, did you think I was going to ask you to do twerking? No, no, no, I knew immediately. I've got no, but look.

Holy moly. See, I've got nothing. I've got nothing. Who twerks better, Jude? I think Jono. Yeah, Jono's definitely got back. Baby got back, mate. And how cool is this? There's a family in New Zealand right now that have only managed to put out one bin full of rubbish since 2018.

Oh, I read about them last year. They're still doing this. It's incredible. It's incredible. You're a bane of your life. Think of this. One bin. One waste bin since 2018.

Is it the recycling bin or the general waste bin? So they've one general waste bin basically in the last four years. So they just reduced it. In four years? In four years, they've only put out one bin full of, yeah. So they must have a compost bin. There's seven in their family as well, which is pretty incredible. They're just all about reducing things down.

And every week they look at something and go, okay, no, we'll make sure that that's not going to be there next week and just keep reducing things down. So yeah, it's pretty incredible. Because New Zealand, I mean, there's a lot of stuff. So they've only used one bin. Are they just chucking all their rubbish over the neighbors' house? Inside their house is shocking. It's like, what?

No. Yeah, so New Zealand has generated about 17 million tons of waste every year, and most of the 12 million are sent to landfills. It's really unsettling going to the dump and seeing how much rubbish is there this is so i mean i contribute to probably the dump there you go i've made the dump in a long time yeah there i go this is really bad but anyway here's nine bootloads of stuff i'll add to it yeah yeah i don't but i don't know what do you do what do you end up doing with all this rubbish where does it go i think they bury it in the ground don don't they? No, no, no. It's not so good, is it?

No. What happens to it there? I don't know if I want to think about it, because then I'm like, oh, shoot. Just sit there. Apparently there's this sludge. So, you know, a lot of people throw stuff with, you know, just the very little bit of milk at the bottom of your container. If you put that in the recycling, you times that by thousands and thousands, it ends up

as this toxic sort of sludge which apparently is a nightmare to deal with. Wow. So yeah, think about what you're dumping. That's right. Or you should. And that is scrolling through your feed this morning. Your essential listening for

non-essential banter. Jono and Ben on the hits. Now I don't think we appreciate YouTube enough. It is a wonderful tool, YouTube, isn't it? I mean, you go back 10, 15 years. If I had gone back and said, mate, there's going to be this thing, there's going to be a world of stuff on there

that you can learn. And I keep, coincidentally, I don't know why I keep getting fed these videos. Because, you know, if you look on one video, similar sorts of interests kind of get pumped into your feed. I keep getting fed videos on how to present radio, how to present the perfect radio show, and everything on YouTube, how to do the perfect something,

how to make the perfect egg, how to build the perfect house, how to make the perfect bed, how to make the perfect egg, how to build the perfect house, how to make the perfect bed, how to commit the perfect murder, stuff like this. So I clicked on the radio one, Ben, and there's a few points that I'd just like to share with you. Okay. And maybe the show.

So here's the first one. Being well read. People enjoy listening to presenters who know what they're talking about. So don't simply read from a Wikipedia article or just some mere hearsay do your research to make for a much more comprehensive and enjoyable show i'm like we've never done that well you have you do it better than me i mean i just went on air before and said pharrell's 44 he's 48 yeah yeah you're reading for an article that was from a long time ago all All I do is panic search on Wikipedia in the moment. Okay, here's the next one.

Don't worry, be happy. It may sound obvious, but it's true. Nobody wants to listen to a presenter who sounds frustrated and angry. Tell that to Mike Hosking. True, true. He's got the number one show. He couldn't be further ahead if he tried, Mike Hosking. Here's the third one. 16. Don't be further ahead if he tried, Mike Hosking. Here's the third one.

Sixteen. Don't be ****. It's quite simple, really. If you want your show to be adored by millions all over the world, watch what you say and don't be edgy and controversial just for the sake of it. Don't be edgy and controversial just for the sake of it, Ben. Yeah, no. That's what his mum said to me last night.

So those are just some tips on YouTube, but you can actually learn anything off YouTube, can't you? So we want to chuck this open this morning. Oh, 800 the hits. When did you do YouTube? What did you teach yourself? There was an embarrassing period in my life where I didn't know how to tie a tie. Well, true. You used to use it off YouTube, didn't you?

Yeah. And it was like humiliating having to do that in public. I would kind of try and cower off in a corner and watch my phone. And you would flag it. You'd be like, look at him, he doesn't know how to tie a tie. He has to keep watching a YouTube video. And I had to keep watching, I don't know why, I didn't really learn. I had to keep watching the same video over and over to actually get it done.

But I finally know how to do it. He's up early. Mohamed on our 800 The Hits. Mohamed, when did you do YouTube? I taught myself this thing called live blood analysis. Okay, this sounds like something you should probably go to university for, but you learned it off YouTube? Yeah, definitely probably not good to try it at home, to be honest,

but I learned it anyway. But I did it anyway. So what is a live blood analysis? It's basically you get a bit of blood, you prick your finger, get a bit of blood, and you can run it through this machine, and it just tells you how many blood cells you've got. So you learned how to do this off YouTube? Yeah, surprisingly. There's guides and stuff, probably not meant for the average person, but I just thought, why not?

I was bored during lockdown, so I thought I'd try it. You were bored during lockdown? Do you have a medical background, Muhammad? No, I don't, but I just thought it wasn't too bad. I followed the instructions, and it was like building a Lego set almost. It's more complicated. Yeah, I mean, you don't want it to get to that pivotal point where you're draining blood and a Grammarly ad comes on

and interrupts you. Yeah, and you can't press the skip ad button. Yeah, I know. You're like, mate, this is not now. Not now. Of all times. I'm like, you're my grandma. I knew I should have paid for YouTube premium.

I skipped that as well. That's incredible. And so did you have the machine that you're talking about or was there like a homemade machine you could make? I just kind of like bought it online. So I don't know how actually accurate it even is, like if it was even, you know, results even mean anything. But I just thought, oh, let's just try it out,

buy a machine online and give it a whirl. How bored were you during lockdown? Were you like, I might buy a blood analysis machine? Yeah, well, you know, there's only so many things you can watch on Netflix. So I was like, you know, let's live a little. Let's do something exciting. Let's take something off the bucket list and do that, you know? Oh, that is very impressive.

And is that the last thing you've taught yourself off YouTube or you've also done an open heart surgery or something? Oh, yeah, that's next on the to-do list. Open heart surgery, you know, learn how to make a 12-inch lamb sandwich from Subway, that sort of thing. Yeah, nice. And probably answering that phone would be next on the list too, Muhammad.

Yeah, that's next on my bucket list. And will you have a great day, mate? You too. Cheers. See you, bud. Thanks, Muhammad. So there you go. Have you done YouTube?

What did you teach yourself well after FMU this morning 0800 the hits 4487 638 Jono and Ben the hits

the Jono and Ben podcast we're talking about what you've learnt from YouTube yeah Kim is on 0800 the hits what did you teach yourself how to train my dog

to do everything a police dog would do oh really so what sort of things is that? So she'll track. She can track people. She can find dope.

She can attack, obviously. That sort of thing. The training was pretty easy once you've trained your dog to do all the basics. She's got trust in you. It's all good. And so how long does it take? It was over a couple of years, I suppose. But like the tracking and stuff like that, you just get someone to walk out into a field,

put a few treats down, do a few more walks, put a few more treats down, and then a bunch of treats at the end. And she sort of learns the scent, follow the scent, and that was pretty easy. So this is all, isn't YouTube amazing? The world's greatest university, YouTube. And so can your dog arrest people? By arrest, you mean hold until I get there? Yeah.

I kind of, a little bit crazy maybe, I did the training without a bite sleeve. So the day she grabbed me and took me down, I said, okay, that's probably enough training because that really hurt. But otherwise. Typically when a dog has its jaw wrapped around your arm, I imagine it hurts.

I haven't experienced it firsthand. Yeah, you can get a meter if you want. Has the dog ever, like, helped solve a crime as such? By solving a crime, we were down at the thing one day and a kid had lost her little booty off the pram and I just let her smell it and she just walked away and found the kid. Oh wow, that's pretty cool. That is very impressive.

Graham, you did mention too that your dog can now sniff out dope. What was the training involved for that? Pretty much just hide some, give it a name, name association, hide some and let it go to town. We were going through Bunnings one day and a tradie walked past

and I turned around and an immediate U-turn and sort of wanted to follow him I was like oh he'd get back here so it's

yeah it can be quite comical sometimes yeah I imagine he's a nervous looking tradie as the dogs follow him stalking him around Bunnings

smelling his pocket there's a time and a place to bless people. Hey, thank you very much for your call. Appreciate it, Graham. Thank you. Elizabeth, you taught yourself something off YouTube. What was it? Well, it's called the Apley Maneuver.

And what happened was my husband, David, was getting vertigo, you know, dancing eyes. Oh, yeah. My mum gets that. And you have to, and all you can do is lie down. Right. And that's quite disturbing. Anyway, he went online, as you do. What's the go? So he went to the doctor and said,

oh, I've heard about this thing called the Epley Maneuver. And the doctor said, oh, yeah, I know that, but I can't do it. So you might try a physiotherapist. So he tried a physiotherapist. Oh yeah, I've heard of that, but I can't do it. And he said to me, well, let's watch the video, watch the video and see what you think. So there was these two American physiotherapists.

They did it. And I thought, heck, I can do that. That's the attitude. Well, you know, I mean, it just needed me to kind of maneuver his head. I know, over the edge of the bed, just like that. It was incredible. Apparently the crystals sit in a funny place in your ear, and what manipulating the head does is to move the crystals away

from maybe your balance bit of the ear. Anyway, sorted it out in about two minutes, and he's not had anything since. Wow. I know. You taught yourself an intense Physiotherapy move and cured The vertigo I know but even some doctors

Or physiotherapists won't do Right it was incredibly easy That's incredible and so what now are you like A semi-professional chiropractor or something Oh well you know I needed to Hang my shingle outside the door And say actually manoeuvres done here I mean you never probably want your physiotherapist I needed to hang my shingle outside the door and say, actually, manoeuvre's done here.

I mean, you never probably want your physiotherapist watching a YouTube video then doing it on you. Hang on a second, I'll just YouTube. Wait while I watch this. That's really impressive. Thank you so much for your call, Elizabeth. You have a great day. Bye. That's so good.

We've got news and beeps coming up very shortly. Tom Hanks crashes yet another... We'll find out what that headline was in just a few moments. It is the hits. Kia ora. I'm Rachel Jackson-Lees and this is the... Champagne Juliet. Go on and beep some perfectly good headlines again

Tom Holland is dating Zendaya and Zendaya is this tall model and he's a bit shorter. Were they smooching up a storm on Spider-Man?

She's on Spider-Man. Yeah, they're actually together. In real life. Peter Parker and Zenda. You had an experience with Zenda. I'm making it like it was a... Oh, yeah. It's not one of those.

Yeah, yeah. He tried to talk NBA basketball with her. Oh, yeah, because I was so excited I saw an NBA player. I was interviewing, long story, but I was interviewing her for Spider-Man in Spain, randomly, and then I was sitting outside by myself in a hotel corridor, like a basketballer with a big beard, James Harden walked past. I'm like, oh my God, James Harden, hi, how's it going? And then I wanted to tell someone, because I was the only one around.

I was like, you're from America, do you like basketball? She's like, yeah. I was like, just saw James Harden. She's like, oh, I don't really like him or that team. And I was like, oh. Oh, sad. So I text Guy Williams, and he was like, hey, mate, it's three in the morning. Was he happy that you saw James Harden? No, I was. No one was I text Guy Williams and he was like hey mate it's three in the morning was he happy

that you saw James Harden no I was I'm happy you saw James Harden and then you went and spent the day sunbathing with Matty McLean

on a beach in Spain oh lovely lovely have you ever sunbathed again with Matty McLean I've never been invited back to sunbathe

with Matty McLean I'd do anything to sunbathe with Matty McLean again I would too if Matty McLean's listening let's book in a sunbathe with Manny McLean. Geez, I'd do anything to sunbathe with Manny McLean again. I would too. If Manny McLean's listening, let's book in a sunbathe. He probably not. He does some sort of show in the mornings, I think, as well.

But anyway. The next news story. Tom Hanks crashes yet another... I was going to say, Tom Hanks crashes yet another tropical island looking for Wilson. He's slowly making his way around, trying to find him. There you go. Tom Hanks crashes yet another Hertz rental car, making him a nightmare. Tom Hanks crashes yet another wedding as he surprises bride in pictures. So I'm pretty sure I told this story last year, or we talked about this story last year.

He did it on a beach with a couple of brides, their wedding. And now he's done it again to another bridal party. So all the brides and bridesmaids were getting, sorry, the one bride and the bridesmaids were getting their photos taken and you can see Tom Hanks, he pops up in the background and he kind of photo bombs

and then he approaches the bridal party and says, hey, I'm Tom Hanks. I would really like to get a photo with you and they all just like lost the plot and then he's like part of the bridal party and the pictures are great. We should put them on our Instagram stories. Hey, I'm Tom Hanks.

That's wonderful. He also did a great photo that I love. There was this guy obviously at a late night diner who, it was the end of the night he had let festivities get away on him. He had passed out and Tom Hanks went and took a selfie with him. Oh my god, that's amazing. With his mates and then he woke up the next morning and

there was Tom Hanks. You met Tom Hanks, did I? I think you were asleep. That's iconic. And there's the news and beeps for you this morning. Ed Sheeran coming back to New Zealand. Very excited about that. Wellington and Auckland. We've got a double pass to give away. Give us three minutes.

You can win that on The Hits. The Hits. Ed's or Tails. Ed Sheeran coming back to New Zealand on his mathematics tour. He's going to be in Wellington and Auckland in February next year. We've got a double pass to give away with our new game, Ed's or Tales. Now, I know it's taking every ounce of your energy not to hand out tickets to the people who lose, Ben. I wish I could.

I know. Are you secretly sending out Ed Sheeran tickets to people who lose? Again, I wish I could. We've only got a certain allocation. These things are hot property. Yeah, the game's pretty simple. You flip this novelty 3D printed coin that we have,

spray painted in gold paint. Ed's or Tales. We've the game's pretty simple. You flip this novelty 3D printed coin that we have, spray painted in gold paint. Ed's or tails. We've got Ed's face on one side and tails on the other. And if you win then you get the double pass. However, there's another listener waiting on line two. If you lose they get your tickets. And that's where

the conundrum comes in for Ben. The inner turmoil. We've had a couple of losses already this week, haven't we? How does it make you feel? Well, not great for anyone. But someone's going to lose either way, even if you call a one or call a two. And what I love about this audience is they're so lovely.

Even the ones who lose are like, oh, well, thanks for letting me play. All the best. Which makes you feel even worse, doesn't it? So we'll get Shelly on from Mount Monganui. How are you? Morning, guys. I'm well.

How are you? Doing well. Shelly climbed up the mountain todayui. How are you? Morning, guys. I'm well. How are you? Doing well. Shelly climbed up the mountain today taking your top off. Had a photo? Absolutely. A bit chilly, but you know.

That's what you do, right? That's a beautiful part of the country there. It's gorgeous. Shelly, well, you have the opportunity now to say heads or tails. And if you win, well done, you get the tickets.

However, if you lose, Masumi. Oh my gosh, it's me. Masumi, that's you. Hello. OMG, it's you. You can swoop on in like a magpie and take these tickets off Shelly. Oh. Yay.

Sorry. Doesn't feel that great about it, but hey, that's how the game works. All right. All right. Okay, Shelly, what are you going to go? Ed, but hey, that's how the game works. All right. All right. Okay, Shelly, what are you going to go? Ed's or tails? Ed's, thanks, guys. Locking in Ed's.

Going for Ed Sheeran. And it's dropped on the floor. It's rolling along like a coin, and it's landed on Ed's. It's Ed's. Yes. Oh, you're kidding. Well done. That's okay.

Fantastic. Shelly, you win. Misumi, I'm really sorry. No, That's okay. Fantastic. Shelley, you win. Misumi, I'm really sorry. No, it's okay. Just lovely to be here, though, isn't it? I mean, what price do you put on being on the hits breakfast? Yeah, we're sharing tickets, and we've got more of those to give away on Monday.

You enjoy the concert, though, and I'm sorry you missed out, Misumi. No, that's okay. Thank you. Good on you, mate. So nice, eh? Yeah, I love it. Spy. Know what's up. Spy.co.nz Alright, she's got all

the filth on the celebrities, including their used bath towels. Jules, what's happening? So Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum are in a new movie together called The Lost City, alongside Brad Pitt and Daniel Radcliffe. And Sandra and Channing, I would say they're probably the main characters.

They're doing all the main interviews and they're so hilarious together. Like them together is kind of appearing that you didn't really know you needed. But they were on the James Corden show and he asked how they first met and it was a place that you would not expect. When did you first meet?

Sandra, when did you first meet Channing? In the principal's office at our preschool. Why? What happened? Totally true. We have two very, very, very strong-willed little girls that, you know, at that young age were very much button heads. Yeah. So hang on, you both got called into the principal's office together.

Yeah, because they just wanted to know how can we work this out. So do you remember there was like a day that they had an altercation? I said i need to call like channing or jenna what do i need to do and they said no we're just going to give them a task a challenge oh and the challenge was who can be the nicest to the other one so they were like bring each other little dixie cups of water like really yeah yeah i don't know where they would have learned this competitiveness at all. Really? So their kids hate each other. Yeah, but they used to. Okay, so not anymore.

Not anymore. Because when they were filming this movie, it was basically just like a giant play date for months on end for the two daughters. They get on now. I think they were having constant sleepovers, the daughters. So they used to hate each other apparently, but now they're good. I just love children's dynamics, you know, at that age, young kids between five and ten

because a spade's a spade. You know, there's no pussyfooting around with relationships at that age. That's so true. You know if a kid doesn't like you. Yeah. And how's that principal calling in Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum, you know, into the office

to talk about the kids? Oh my gosh, amazing. Yeah. But I feel like if I was that principal, I'd be too scared to call them in. I'd be really intimidated by them. I'd set up a cell phone on my bookshelf so I could secretly film the whole thing, show my friends, look, I had a meeting with Sandra. Exactly.

It'd be one of those occasions where you'd be like, so we want to sort this out, seriously, and then at the end go, could I get a selfie or something? That is so true. That is so true. And just quickly,gan markle's 18 million dollar spotify deal has finally got off the ground after over over a year it's a podcast called arch types uh she's basically speaking about the stereotypes of women um and into and she's going to be interviewing a lot of different a lot of different women um from all for all walks from all walks of life,

25 minutes time, your chance to win $5,000. It was given away yesterday. It could be won again today. It is the hits you got, Jono and Ben. Jono and Ben, just like family. The family members you're ashamed of. Jono and ben on the hits jono and ben we want to know in 0800 the hits uh whether you've used your or you've been the

sibling that's been used as a sibling stunt double yeah well your sister bought something out the other day that you did to her yeah well she actually wanted she wanted like a braid with um yes people used to put colored thread used almost to almost like plait into a bit of hair. So you'd end up with a sort of colour through your hair, like a little stem of stuff. And she, for some reason, asked me to try and do this. And I was like, hey, you can be the stunt double on this one. I'll give it a go.

Had you had any previous coloured hair braiding experience? No. No, no. So you're on debut. And I did it too. It was a shocking job. And it was way too tight. Like I'd really tied it too tight at the end.

And so I got to the stage and so we're like I was like I got to the stage and was like I can't do this properly and she's like well I can't undo this from my hair this is stuck

and we're like well just cut it just cut it it's like a phone cable you know when it mixes up with the other cables there's only one way out of this

is to cut your hair so we ended up cutting her hair it was right near the front like a little short patch she had a little tough that little grow back for a while

and I was like don't you can't tell mum about this though my younger sister I was like you can't tell mum about this, though. Oh, my God. My younger sister, I was like, you can't tell mum. She said, what did I say? I said, I don't know, I said the goat.

The goat, we had a goat at the time. And I said, the goat, the goat ate your hair. And so for many years, my mum had gone on believing that this little tough to hair that my sister used to have put in a little clip down where it just grew to it grew like the other length was from the goat. You had a goat? Oh, my God, I'm learning so many things about you. I love it.

I love it how that was your first, the only thing we can do is just say the goat ate it. The goat ate it, yeah. It'd be funnier if you didn't have a goat. Or a goat, I don't know, we ran into a goat. Oh, 800, that's the telephone number. Have you been a sibling stunt double where maybe your siblings got you to do something or maybe you could have talked them into doing something as well uh being an only child uh you wouldn't have had this happen no I never had any siblings to bully me but thankfully Ben's making up for it now my adult

years which is uh exciting but yeah it's it's interesting when you are an only child and you don't have any siblings like I had an imaginary friend I just made up, Mark, who ironically I have a friend called Mark, although you've never met him. Is he real? Is he real? We talk about him a lot, but maybe he doesn't exist. I just found myself talking to myself a lot as a child,

like out loud too. Do you do that? Oh, yeah, but probably now we do it on the radio, so it takes care of that. Still do it. I don't even know if anyone's listening to this. Still do it. 0800, that's the telephone number.

Have you been a sibling stunt double? Joining us right now on the show from the Hawke's Bay, Donna, was it you? Well, my lovely brother, this was when I was about 10 years old, got me to put my tongue on the inside of the freezer door on the metal part.

Oh, jeez. You succumb to peer pressure too easy, Donna. That's what we love about you. So you had no idea what was going to happen, obviously, in this situation? No. And what did happen in that situation? Well, I couldn't move. I was stuck.

So then my mother came in and we had to pour water, all sorts of things. All sorts of things. She got it all out, the olive oil and everything. Yeah, but I ended up losing the whole top of my tongue. Oh, that sounds extremely painful. Yeah. Yeah, geez. And have you been careful where you've stuck your tongue?

Stop that. Probably, you know, this day, especially the last couple of years, you'd be careful where you put your tongue, Donna. Yeah, yeah. I always wondered what happens when you do that freezer thing, and clearly your brother had the same thought as well, but didn't want to put his tongue on the line. Yeah, exactly, exactly.

Don't ever do it. Yeah, so it actually does attach. Yes, it does. Well, Donna, she. Don't ever do it. Yeah, so it actually does attach. Yes, it does. Well, Donna, she's a go-getter. Good on you. Never again. Never again. Yeah, right.

She'll give anything a go once. Donna, thank you so much for your call. We really appreciate that. Okay, thanks. We're talking sibling stunt doubles when you've got your sibling to do something, or maybe you were that sibling. And I imagine it's just the perfect storm, Ben.

You might be able to tell me you had three sisters growing up. It's the perfect storm of, you know, not understanding consequences and also some great manipulation, too, from one of the sisters. I mean, you convinced your sister that a goat bit her hair off. Yeah, just did not tell Mum. Yeah. So we're going to go to the phones right now. Sibling stunt doubles.

Jane, you were one. What were you pressured into doing? I did. I did. You can hear the regret in Jane's voice already. Well, looking back, I can't believe that I did it. But I had an older brother. Yep, right. They tend to be very

persuasive. Yeah, so we were in the backyard. We had a dart board that I think was hanging off the clothesline. Right. So my brother persuaded me to stand behind it while he threw darts at it. Oh, so he wanted the board to be still, but it was obviously swinging around on the washing line.

Yeah. Yeah, right. And so, Jane, you did it like some sort of magician's assistant. Yeah. You know, it's kind of like big brother hero worship. And so I did it yeah right and your brother as a darts player would have you been on that professional circuit that they'll go you know and all the people live in this no no i think he probably would have been on the bloopers america's funniest home video so he wasn't landing on the board every time

no this is risky. Did anything happen or did you get away okay? Well, he had just started throwing them and missed a couple. And missed me. And then the neighbour came running in. He looked out the kitchen window and seen what was happening and rescued me. What a buzzkill, eh?

Really impressive, Jane. Thank you so much for your call. You have a great day. You too. Shelley, welcome. What happened? Well, when my brother was probably about six years old, I convinced him that he could fly if he climbed up onto the shed roof

and jumped off with an umbrella. Oh, you always do wonder that as a child. So the Mary Poppins effect there, did it work? No, it didn't work. He couldn't fly. There was no resistance from the umbrella? No, not much resistance at all. Did you know at that time that it couldn't happen

or were you like, oh, we'll give it a go? No, no, no. I thought we'll give it a go, but I didn't want to give it a go myself. I wanted him to have a go. Oh, like something from Johnny Knoxville would do on Jackass. Yeah, but not recommended for anyone else. And what happened to your poor brother?

Oh, he was fine. He didn't break anything. He did cry, but he was fine. He was fine. Well, that's what someone would say if they sent someone off the top of a roof. He's fine. He's fine. Don't worry. He's all fine. My bone's poking out of my leg. So in reality, Mary Poppins would have really come plummeting to earth.

Oh, yeah. Yes, that's exactly right. Okay, hey, thank you very much for your time, Shelley. Appreciate your call. Thanks. Five words for 5K. You're just five words away from $5,000. Our Game of Word Association, we tell you five words,

Well, the budget doesn't know what we're going to say or what you're going to say. Hey, good on you, Jodes. Well, the budget doesn't know what we're going to say or what you're going to say. Hey, good on you, Jodie. You're going to have a great weekend, okay? Yeah, you too. Love your work.

Amanda's been doing something in her sleep. Your wife. Oh, yeah. What's she been doing? Oh, look, I had to confront her about this last night. We'll talk about this next. It is the hits. You've got Jono and Ben.

The annoying ones talking between the songs. Jono and Ben on the hits. My wife, a couple of times this week, has been talking in her sleep. Now, having conversations that I was a little bit disturbed about. You know when you hear someone talking and then I kind of like woke up and then I was like, well, what's going on? And then I realized that she was asleep. And this happened two nights in a row.

And I'm like, I can't forget to bring this up with her. Is it like full conversation or just sort of mumbled words it's kind of bits of conversation yeah right I sort of pieced it together what she's talking about and I was you know I confronted her about it and I recorded it because I thought hey let's play this on radio so you recorded your wife as she's sleep talking okay no no I didn't record that I recorded saying hey do you know what you'll be dreaming about oh the next morning so she waits till she woke up there's a camera in her face you're filming you're recording it two? Oh, the next morning. So she wakes up, she woke up, there's a camera in her face, she's filming and recording it.

Two nights afterwards, I was like, here we go, I'll ask her about this. Do you know what you've been dreaming about the last two nights? No. So in the middle of the night, two nights in a row you've been talking. What? About school. What? First it was about an equation, a mass equation.

Oh, no. And then something else was about something with two words and not one word. I must be such a good teacher. Why are you talking so much about school? What awesome dreams you have. I thought you were going to say cake. No, not cake. I don't know.

I haven't heard that. But you've been talking about equations and words that are two words and not single words oh it's because I'm spelling we're talking about consonants

and digraphs and oh my god cool chat great chat great dreams how boring are her dreams so she's a school teacher

yeah and she gives a wake up that day she'll say oh no that's two words not one word I'm like What are you talking about

Go to the principal's office Not often you get handed Our NCEA credits When you're in your own bed bed Well done Yeah I feel like I need to chip in And go

I'm learning a lot in my sleep Actually I really am After 8 o'clock this morning We want to talk about The most number of K's That you've got on your car Yeah

Your car in Christchurch, I think it is. Yeah, Courier driver. Courier van has set a record but we want to see if you can beat it. We'll tell you what it is in five minutes. 757 on the hits. Tested safe for listing from home. John Owen Behan on the hits.

Well, a Courier in Christchurch has had a van for 10 years, bought it new in 2012 and has clocked up over a million kilometres driving, basically mainly between Christchurch and South Canterbury, but reckons it's gone every road around the South Island. Wow. Every road? A million kilometres. How's that? Spend more time on the road than a run over possum it got stuck the speedometer got stuck on 999999.99km

and they had to get a new speedo put in because it didn't tick over the million for some reason so did all of them stop when they hit a mil?

I don't know they've never gone that high before we need to get this open here on 0800 the hits can we find the highest amount of

kilometres on your odometer of any hits listener tuned in right now can you beat a mil? a mil's a lot that is a lot surely we can you beat a mil? A mil's a lot. It is a lot. Surely we probably can't beat a mil.

No. Aim for the stars, Ben. Yeah. You know, but we'll, we'll. I used to drive, like, I got given from my mum and stepdad an old Morris Minor green, and it was a very old car, and it would go 80k's tops. And they had very distinct smells about them, didn't they?

Quite musty. Oh, that's such a cool-looking car. Not when you're a teenager. And you'd have the school bus would be in front of you, and you would show it, and they were like, look at this loser. And the school bus would pass you. So I'd just go back roads and stuff.

Yeah, the Morris Minor looks like you would have been driving to school in, what, the 1930s? It looks like the Mr Bean car. You know the Mr Bean car? I parked so far away. It's probably where I got into my habit of parking further away from things. Yeah, Ben never parks next to the location. He's always two blocks away. It was out of pure embarrassment, that habit.

One time I was driving along and I had some mates in the car and they were like, drive straight. And I'm like, I'm trying to drive straight. What's going on? And the front wheel, we saw it just take off in front of us, some mates in the car and they were like, drive straight. And I'm like, I'm trying to drive straight. What's going on? And the front wheel, we saw it just take off in front of us, going faster than the car, which is probably not saying much. The car only goes up to 80.

The wheel was doing really well. Yeah, the wheel was going faster than us. So that had a lot of Ks on the clock, but nowhere near a million. Yeah, that feels like that thing would still potentially be going today if it wanted to. Yeah. Juliet, have you got high Ks on that beaten up VW? Oh, not the VW, actually. Juliet has rammed into every power pole in the city.

That car. This car is a hand-me-down. It looks like a UFC fighter at the end of a real bloody matchup. It does. It looks like it just went for a drive through the Ukraine. But before the VW, so my family had a um a really old bright red toyota prado and i think we got it in the year 2000 so it was about 20 years old by the time we sold it i don't know exactly how many kilometers um it's done but it went to rnv

and back at six times six times six times veteran of rnv yeah yeah through all of my siblings and me so it would have seen some pretty pretty bleak trips back from Gisborne, I imagine. Oh, totally. 100%. Proud I was there for your darkest moments. Okay, our 800 of the hits. Let's open this up. Most amount of Ks on the odometer.

Can we beat the mill? Can we beat this courier driver in Christchurch? There's no way we can beat a mill, but stick around next. We'll find out. The hits. We're just talking about a courier in Christchurch who's clocked up over a million kilometres in 10 years, which is incredible. Yeah, we've got

some great texts coming through on 4487. Helen texts through. She's done close to a mil. She's done the 800, but we can't quite beat the mil. We've got Graham on the phone with us. How many k's has your car done, Graham?

It's done 2,017,000 kilometres. We have a winner. 2,000,000. That is incredible. Are you driving the car right now? I'm driving the vehicle now, yes. What is it? It's a Toyota Corolla. A two litre diesel. Oh, you just

can't go wrong with a Corolla. My dad, John Pryor, always said that. The Corolla will never let you down, Graham. It's been very good to me. Hasn't it, Josh? So how long have you had this car? I've had it since 2000. I've had it for 22 years.

22 years. And how many Ks has it done when you first got it? I bought it when it had done 80,000 kilometres. All right, still quite a few Ks under there. Two million. So, yeah, does it even go the speedo go? Obviously it does. The speedo, no, it's actually every million. Oh, it goes up to a million. It goes up to a million, yeah, then clicks back, yeah. So it clicks back to zero after a million, is that right? It clicks back, then starts again, yeah. Then. So it clicks back to zero after a million, is that right? It clicks back, then starts again, yeah.

Then it starts again. Oh, you can see we've got a brand new car every million Ks, Graham. So how far are you driving it each day? What are you running from? Yeah, I'm running from Wellington to New Plymouth. New Plymouth around the Taranaki Coast to Openackey and back to Wellington. Every day? Six days a week, yep.

Well, no wonder you've got two million Ks on the clock there, Graham. And how many Ks on Graham's clock? Your body clock. Oh, yeah, I'm 71 now. Oh, good Ks. Yeah, and low mileage, Graham? Take him for a drive? Yeah.

Graham, are you regularly serviced? No, not really, actually. Is the car regularly serviced? Yeah, it gets oil change every second Friday. Oh, so quite regularly. Oh yeah, it has to. See, that's 10,000 Ks. Oh very nice. And have you ever thought about upgrading the car? You're like, no, just keep going with this thing because it's doing me proud. Yeah, no, keep going with it.

I love driving it. And, yeah, it's got everything I need in here. It's got air conditioning and all that sort of thing. Yeah, no, it's automatic, power steering. No, it's brilliant. You wouldn't get a more 70-year-old comment. It's got everything I need in here. And, geez, how's petrol prices for your job at the moment, Graham?

Oh, shocking at the moment. Yeah. It's costing me an extra $1 Graham? Oh, shocking at the moment. Yeah. It's costing me an extra $1,200 a month, just for the fuel. Oh, mate, yeah. Shocking, isn't it? Oh, yeah, it's pretty tough. They make it hard. Yeah, and if anyone's listening going, damn, I want my car

to last as long as Graham's, what advice would you give them? Oh, just treat it like you'd be treated yourself with a bit of kindness. Oh, that's nice. Graham, hey, thank you so much for talking to us. Drive safe, and we'll see if it does another million. No problem.

Thank you very much. Thanks, Graham. Love Graham. How's that? Two million. Mate, we beat it. Oh, we did. No one said, you said we couldn't.

I said. You did. I doubted it. All right. The haters, there he is. I'm looking at him. Get fueled up with the Hitz Fuel Grab. Win your share of thousands of dollars worth of fuel at the Hitz Fuel Grab.

Thanks to gas petrol service stations. Supporting gas. You're supporting Kiwis. 100% Kiwi owned. And you could win an unlimited supply of gas. Well, potentially, you've just got to stop before the buzzer. The pump buzzer. Yeah.

Yep. Let's get Maria on from Greymouth. How are you? Good, thank you. Yeah, hard in Greymouth. Hard. Yeah. Hard, aren't you, Maria, in Greymouth?

Definitely. Yeah, she just had a bowl of concrete for breakfast. She had some tar seal for morning tea. That's how hard they are in grey mouth. Hey, what would you do with this money?

This is money for your car. Petrol, yeah. She might drink it with her concrete for breakfast, I don't know, but I wouldn't recommend

either of those things. So you're planning on drinking the petrol or putting it in your car, Maria, just to clarify? Putting it in my car. Yeah, fair enough.

Good option. Better of the two. Are you ready to beat the pump? We're going to give you $50 worth of fuel straight away, and then you just need to say stop before the buzzer. So you can play as long as you want, but once the buzzer sounds, you only win $50. Okay, thank you. The rules are clear. Hard-ass Maria from Greymouth.

Let's see how much petrol you can win. Here we go. $50. $84. $86.50. $87. $50. $150.

Stop. Oh, well done. Maria with $150 straight in that tank. Thank you. That's a full tank for you, obviously. Yes, just. Yeah, people, just. Jesus, how are you driving a literal tank?

No, no. It's what people seem to be doing Once they get the full tank They step out of the game So Maria well done You can do whatever you want with that petrol It's over to you, the decision's yours And just a big shout out to all the smug EV owners listening to this competition

As well Shall we see how much Maria could have gone to If she made the right decision, let's have a listen $170 $209 Who'd have gone to if she made the right decision? Let's have a listen. $170. $209. $230. $255.

Oh, well, not bad. You got your tank filled up with around about $150. So well done, Maria. Thank you. Better than a bowl of concrete for breakfast, isn't it? Yeah, sure. Have a great day, Maria. You look after yourself on the coast and keep safe this weekend, all right?

Okay. And next, Ben Boyce, I know what you want to talk about next because I've seen it in the sheet and you're going to hang me out to dry here. Well, I just want to know if, you know, we'll get to this next, what you did on a podcast that we're recording, I think it needs to be talked about.

Stick around and see if you agree with me or if you agree with Jono. It's The Hits. You've got Jono and Ben. Rated M for mildly amusing. Jono and Ben on The Hits. There's a podcast out tomorrow. It's been out for a while.

It's called Money Talks with Liam Danner, who works for The Herald as well, New Zealand Herald and it's all about money and financial, yeah, well, basically he talks to people

about their financial, finances, any things that work, you know, you've done over the years and he got both of us on. Yeah, both of us,

I don't know anything about finance. I couldn't even introduce how I talked about it. struggling to explain what the podcast was about. I've been on the podcast. I still go, look, it was money.

Coins and notes and Air Force cards and finance stuff. I admit I've been embezzling funds for many years, so I was very nervous. This is what makes me nervous about talking about this. You get a little hot under the collar. It was a bit like this when he was being investigated as well. Oh, money. Oh, you were teaching me about money. So it getting a little hot under the collar. It was a bit like this when he was being investigated as well. Yeah, I've got money. Oh, you're teaching me about money.

So it's a financial podcast. That's all I need to say. About your relationship with money. Yeah, thank you. That's a good way of putting it. Thanks, Juliet. You probably should have done the podcast, to be honest.

I introduced it. Geez, I had a shocker. Yeah, but Ben, I know why you want to talk about this because you mentioned it to me after we recorded with Liam. You were like, Jono why you want to talk about this, because you mentioned it to me after we recorded with Liam. You were like, Jono, you were the guest on the podcast. Yeah, he gets different guests on all the time.

But then you had an issue that you sort of felt that I assumed the role of host of the podcast. Yeah, exactly. Now, I've got some audio from Liam, Dan. The podcast is out tomorrow. You can hear the full thing, Money Talks. It's the financial stuff. Yeah, Dan. The podcast is out tomorrow. You can hear the full thing, Money Talks. It's the financial stuff. Yeah, so I can finance all, you know,

Dow Jones and all that sort of stuff. But this is the start of the podcast. Now, hopefully he's cut out some of this when you hear the actual podcast because this is you just asking Liam questions. Long-term investments. What do you reckon we should be doing? Would you go a house or would you go the stock market?

The no to the stock market? I don't feel like I'm interviewing you now, I'm sorry. I'll pass away, just shut up. Bitcoin. What are your thoughts on Bitcoin? So that was you. So at that point you even referenced the fact that you'd been asking

a lot of questions. So that was a point you could have stopped. It's like, you know, it's like Lewis Hamilton gets going, you grab the steering wheel now. Why are you comparing yourself to Lewis Hamilton? Wait, this is his podcast, you're a guest. Anyway, you carried on

with more questions about finances. Is there a sure-fire investment in your mind? What's the best thing we could invest in right now? What do you reckon I should do with my KiwiSaver? I found five bucks outside the studio. Do I keep that money or should I hand that into reception? The only guest in the history of podcasting

who went from guest to a... It's not your podcast. No, I know. I kind of... I was just really interested in... He was the expert. Yeah, but he's not your podcast. No, I know. I kind of, I was just really interested in he was the expert. He's not coming on our show, we're going on his thing. Yeah, I'm sorry.

It's a place for you to learn. Yeah. And they ask you and you get to answer some questions. And I apologise for that Lewis Hamilton reference as well. It's probably more like Beyonce handing over a microphone. Isn't it? Same. If I was going to use another reference. Now you're comparing yourself to Beyonce. What?

Oh, geez. Anyway, it's a wonderful podcast, though, isn't it? It is. Really interesting. You learn a lot about yourself, mainly that I don't know anything to do with money. Yeah. Well, you sort of ask yourself some questions around finances,

and you're like, oh, yeah, you're right. Yeah, you're right. I should think about this sort of stuff a bit more. I should stop buying all these NFTs. He's a one-man news machine. Much like Eric Young on Prime News. Do you know Eric Young? Operates his own camera.

Writes his own scripts. Yeah, well, he... Prime News first at 5.30. The guy's doing everything. I think he... I don't know if it's still the case, but you're right. He used to do all that. I think he did his own makeup and stuff.

Put on his own clothes. Yeah. Secret Santa's a bit bleak. He's the only person running the entire Prime News. Yeah, I don't know if it's still the case, but that was a few years ago. It's very impressive. I think that needs to get out there a bit more. And Ben Boyce is the only one running this newsroom as well.

Well, I've cut and pasted these from the internet, but this was a story that's making a lot of news. So the Prime Minister made a lot of big announcements this week, of course, to do with COVID, vaccine passes, and she went and did a Q&A, which she does on her Instagram Live, and she was like, yeah, send through some questions, which was always a bit risky. It is a risk.

I always really admire that she does these Instagram and Facebook lives, but I feel like, jeez, it's like you're going diving with the sharks, Prime Minister. You're really opening... If she thinks the questions from Jason from Newstalk ZB or Barry Soper, have some decorum, Barry. If she thinks they're bad, don't open it up to the public. And she read one of the questions, and have a listen. Someone has asked me to twerk. That's a hard

no. Will you twerk? I wonder how they asked as well. Was there a please? Will you please twerk? Or was it like, hey, you should twerk? Was it a gentle suggestion or was it like a twerk for us? I'm not sure.

Team of five million want to see you twerk? No. You don't know how it came across. That's a weird question to ask. I love how she says a hard no. Has there ever been a hard yes? I can't imagine. Cardi B?

Cardi B would have been a hard yes, you know? And Lizzo, yeah? If it was me, I'd probably end up twerking just purely to fill in time. You definitely would have. And now, this I found really interesting. Now, a shopper in Otago has said they found it 30, they did a bit of an experiment

because obviously we've been talking a lot about the cost of living, you know, things being really pricey, particularly at the supermarkets. So they did a wee experiment and they bought a whole lot of items

from an Australian supermarket and got them shipped over here and they reckon, and then bought the same items at a New Zealand supermarket, reckon it was cheaper to buy the items and including the shipping and get it sent over here

for these particular items, than it was to buy at the supermarket. Now, they have said, obviously, your carbon footprint's shocking if you're going to order your stuff and you can't get it stuffed. They didn't go with things like... Just for a little packet of almonds. Yeah, and milk and things like that, that obviously expires pretty quickly.

So they got some sort of non-perishable items. But how's that for a little... They said it wasn't a fully scientific experiment, but just something they did off their own bat. Wow. How's that? And it probably got there a bit quicker because we've got so many people off as close contacts or people who have COVID as well that your deliveries,

I'm sure, are delayed by a while. So it probably came quicker from Australia. True. So, yeah, even with the shipping costs as well. So how's that? They sent back a 501D porty at the same time. It was a win-win for Aussie. Delivered the supermarket shopping

and then just merged back into society. That is crazy. And I tell you what, Ben, that cost of living is wild. And if only there was a song that was a parody of a popular song that we could play right now to sum it all up. Requires unleaded petrol for sustenance Drive it to BP, f*** it's pricey Knew I should have bought one of Elon Musk's EVs

Guy behind the counter says you gotta pay Even though we got the cost of living crisis The word crisis does apply Yeah, it's pricey like a Celtics on the forecourt Got that nozzle in my tank, draining money from my bank Nine buck cabbage in the car two one cheese twelve dollars damn i got screwed two by my butter i took out a loan extra freaking four grand to live on my home thanks to inflation can't afford to buy some bacon this shampoo costs 52. Brassy like ooh. Call it a crisis. Brassy like ooh.

Call it an emergency. Brassy like ooh. A shock. Ooh. Brassy like ooh. The word crisis does apply. You're running late, stuck in traffic, and now you have to listen to this. Jono and Ben on the hits.

We got more tickets to give away on Monday for him as well. Don't you feel great on a Friday? We place so much importance on the days of the week, don't we? And our moods. If I could feel like this right now, what I'm feeling right now, if I could feel like that on Monday morning at five o'clock in the morning,

wouldn't that be a great thing? Sorry, I was trying to find, as you were talking there, you were talking about days of the week and there was one from one of these the other day, one of these inspirational, but I can't find it, was talking about why, you know, don't wait till Monday to start, because people are like, I'll start all that on Monday. They're like, no, that's not what successful people do.

They're just like, they do it now, you know, rather than waiting, oh, get all bad, we'll start the week. The week doesn't start on Monday, was the whole thing. I was like, yeah, it just made you think. It's like, don't get into the habit of, you know, the week starts, you know,

tailing off. If you want to be like these people. I like tailoring off. I'm tailoring off. Mate, it's like the week starts. Don't just go,

the week starts. Well, what about like, when does the week start? Who decided the week started Monday? Well, our contract. Yeah,

but your week doesn't start Monday. If you want to be better at yourself, mate, this is what this is. You start, you know, it starts now. When does it get to end? It doesn't. You just keep going. That's the thing. That's the motivation. But I like an ending.

That's fine. That's fine. But you're never going to be successful. It's hypergraphy. I'm done with the week. You know what I love about it? Ben's doing this and he's standing up like a motivational speaker pointing at me. He's doing like the Anthony Robbins. You can do it. Someone needs to get him a microphone headpiece.

Well, when does your week start? It doesn't stop. It doesn't stop. Life is one continuous week. It started when I was born and it'll end when I die. It doesn't stop It doesn't stop Life is one Continuous week It started when I was born And it'll end when I die Exactly Success

Yeah success There we go Come to my next TED talk Alright I'll just be ripping off Things I saw online And half remembering It was something like that
