It's with the Jono and Ben podcast. Welcome to the podcast. Today the 2nd of June, Benjamin Boyce. I'm watching people outside the window have a meeting. We have a giant glass window and there's a big table where people stand and have meetings. Are you a fan of the standing meeting? Or do you prefer a seated meeting?

Oh, probably a seated meeting. Yeah, I always feel a bit odd because we've had a couple of meetings around that standing table. It's kind of like a leaner sort of height if you're at a bar or something, isn't it? It's great for ergonomics. It's great for, you know, company morning teas with the sausage rolls.

They're a good accessible height. But meetings, I just find, I find I just end up walking around it. Yeah. You know, I get fidgety. Yeah, because you kind of feel like you're on the move already anyway. You're not seated,

so you can kind of move. There's something I've just noticed before. Sorry to interrupt there. I mean, strip jeans, you know, they're trendy. They're on Vogue. They always seem to be on Vogue. On Vogue kind of move. Do you know something I've just noticed before? Sorry to interrupt there. I mean, drip jeans. You know, they're trendy. They're on Vogue. They always seem to be on Vogue. On Vogue.

On Vogue, you know. But I've got one of my jeans. But I've just noticed I've got quite a decent rip in the behind that I've just noticed. I can show you a bit. Yeah, see, it's quite. Oh, there is quite a bit. Yeah, I just noticed that before. And I don't know how long that's been there.

How high is it? But it's definitely revealing underpants. It's trend. It's fashion, baby. But not on the behind, though, is it? It's's definitely revealing underpants. It's a trend. It's fashion, baby. But not on the behind, though, is it? Is it on your thigh? No, it's on my bum. So there's a rip on my bum.

I don't know if I'm supposed to look. Have you got a rip, too? Producer Bee Hump's coming in. I had a groin blowout, actually, in these jeans I'm wearing today. And I took them, and do you know, $10. $10? To get it done. Are the foundations as strong as they were.

Like I'm always like, if you've had a tear there, it's like a leaky home. Stronger, right? Extra enforcement there. That's good. Your mum. A renovation. Annie Pryor loves getting her pants taken up, doesn't she? Yeah, she's Annie Pryor.

She's like, takes her, all the trousers to her tailor. We phoned her and she was at the tailor. I'm at the tailor, Bernadette's or whatever and getting her trousers taken up. She's, yeah, I just roll it out. If I've got pants too long,

I'll just roll them up. You know? Roll them up a couple of runs. Yeah. That works for something. Maybe not suit pants or something. It doesn't look quite as...

Well, you're fashionable. What's the deal? Tailor or just roll them up? It depends because I know what you mean. But yeah, I think if they're like tailored like you say,

but if they look ridiculous, it depends on the look of the fashion. If it's mental, but otherwise you've got to get them taken up. Jesus, I follow Bieber on Instagram. He has just taken a time machine back to 1994. Justin Bieber. The 90s fashion's very strong at the moment. And they're wearing like the sort of the Speed Dealer sunnies. Or those old Oakley Oval jobs.

Yeah, I know. You're right. It's just gone back and they're cool. You wear it now. You'll be like, all right, you sad guy. I can't take part in that fashion

because I'm going to be like, oh, he's still wearing his sunnies from 1996. You'd have some with flames on the side, surely. He's just being a bogan from the rock. Yeah, I love the wraparounds

that come back in fashion. Love it. Just wear them, mate. Yeah, I'll get some Petty Station wraparounds. Yeah, I love the wraparounds that come back in fashion. Love it. Just wear them, mate. Yeah, I'll get some Petty Station wraparounds. Yeah, they're good. Everyone looks like a bogan right now, don't they? All the Kardashians and stuff. Well, they do, actually.

Yeah. Now, on the podcast today, we've got Enty, our Insanity Reporter. We talk about the Johnny Depp, the big verdict came through this morning. Interesting why the case was held in Virginia, in Fairfax, Virginia. It's because of the Washington Post where the article that he was suing Amber Heard for was, that's where it's printed and stuff. But the reason why he didn't go in on the Washington Post but chose Amber Heard, huge tactical play from his law team, the lawyers I think they're referred to.

Yeah, the law team, that's good. As well as that, we settled the debate, hot or cold, basically think they're referred to. Yeah, the law team, that's good. As well as that, we settle the debate, hot or cold, basically. Big debate this morning. If you're in the car and you want to defog the windscreen when you're driving, cold air, hot air, we settle that. Both have the desired effect, but what's the better option? It's all on the podcast, enjoy.

One great way to make the morning commute a little more stressful. Jono and Ben on the hits. Quickly before, the jury has reached a verdict in the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard defamation trial, but about 7 o'clock this morning is when that will come through. So they have reached a verdict, but it hasn't been announced for another

hour. And we'll be bringing you blow-by-blow expert analysis of the verdict. Will we? Don't know, just seems like something you'd say. Seems like what a proper news organisation would say. Right, I see what you're saying. I just thought if we said it. just seems like something you'd say. I don't know. It seems like what a proper news organisation would say. Right, I see what you're saying. So I just thought if we said it. It seems like it's been going on a long, long time.

It has been going on a long time. Six weeks it was. It'll be interesting to see what the outcome is in about an hour's time. We'll bring you up to speed, expert analysis. Hey, fun day yesterday. A couple of things I want to bring to the table, if you don't mind, Ben. Firstly, I walked into a shop and it had the best, you know the usual bing bong door greeting?

Yeah. You know, to alert the shopkeeper there's someone in the premises. Yeah. Have a listen to this one. Alright. Hello, welcome. Hello, welcome.

Oh, wow. A nice vocal hello, welcome. That's nice, isn't it? Put a smile on my face. Yeah. I even, I said to the guy behind the camera, I was like, that is the most warm welcome I've ever had into a dairy. Yeah.

And he said, well, thank you. I said, do you mind if I go back and record it? And I did. And then I said, how quickly did this become the bane of your life? Yeah. Hearing this, how many times a day would he have to hear this, the poor chap? Hello, welcome. He's probably like, bugger off!

So that was the first fun thing. Yeah, for anyone you're right what a great welcome for him yeah and secondly um i did mention this to you that i drove past some workplace with possibly the best work perks ever now i noticed it a couple of weeks ago 150 of their employees lined up outside, and they're lined up waiting for a hot dog stand. Free hot dogs. Yeah. 150 employees all just politely waiting in line. Go down.

Group email situation. Go down. Get your hot dogs. That's pretty good. The only place getting more free sausage, Bunnings employees probably. Yeah. And then I drove past yesterday

they had a kebab guy there oh really in a car must be a weekly thing that's nice free lunch for all employees what are you trying to put

are you trying to push this on the car you don't eat lunch I don't but if it was there I'd just like to know it's an option well it wouldn't be an option

you'd never well I would have to force you to eat it yeah remember the burger gate from last week when we tried to get you to eat New Zealand's biggest burger? Yeah.

You nibbled on a couple of bread bits. It was a dark moment in the show's history. I was like, has a mouse touched that burger? Or has Giorno had three bites? Isn't it? Yeah. I thought we said we'd never speak of burger gate again. Well, you keep bringing up food and lunchtime situations at work.

I'm sorry. It's still... Man nibbles burger. Man nibbles burger. Man nibbles burger. Yeah. But what a work perk. Free lunch every week. Yeah, that's very nice.

Must be some great work perks out there. Text them through. 4487 if you've got one from your work. What have we got here? What are our good work perks here? We had some pizza the other day. You didn't have any, but I had some pizza at work the other day. They put on pizza for the whole company.

Good work perk. That was nice. Yeah. That was lovely. There's a barista here. Yeah. That's a good one. But you pay for that. a barista here. Yeah. That's a good one. Well, you pay for that.

Yeah, you pay for it. It's just good to know. And it sounds good when you're like, we've got a barista. You know, I like it. It's like saying, we'll bring you up expert analysis, blow-by-blow coverage.

We've got a barista out there. Yeah. You've got to pay to use it, but that's just a minor detail. Yeah, it's in the same building as we work. Yeah, yeah. So that's a good work, Pook. Maybe you can text 34487.

I mean, we get to park our cars at the casino. Good. Good for gambling. Yeah. That's a work perk. That is a work perk. Scrolling through your feed. He's a new stallion, and I'm taking this horse for a wild ride.

Strap on, Ben Boyce. What's happening? Well, we were just talking before about a very fussy dog that's making news in the UK. So a five-month-old French bulldog by the name of Henry. Now the dog has refused to climb the stairs. He's like, I'm not going to do it. And so the owner has to take it upstairs if everyone wants to

go. And now it's refusing to drink tap water. So the dog will only drink bottled water. Basically it's sending this poor lady back 40 pounds a week because the dog, she's trying to trick it, she's trying to do all those things, the dog's like, nah, I'm not going to drink it

until it comes out of a bottle and it's actually not from the tap. How did this madness start, though? I don't know. I mean, surely there was a situation where bottled water was being fed, they developed a pellet for it. Exactly.

So it's probably on them, isn't it, really? She's like, now we've got a deeper of a dog that only drinks bottled water and needs to be carried up the stairs. Our friend, you know, pushes a cat around in a pram.

Yeah. That's a thing. Yeah. Takes it for a walk. Which is kind of unusual, but I guess, you know, the cats like to sit aside. Do you know how the cats

look up and go, that cat's living the good life. We're able to use our legs. And cats already were living the good life, really, to be honest. I mean, they've got no commitment to the relationship. We're having to use our legs. Cats already were living the good life, really. I mean, they've got no commitment to the relationship. We're doing all the giving. And now we're pushing cats around in push tears.

Geez, I had to try and squeeze a worming tablet into Milo last night. That's an interesting exercise. And then the vet was like, you should be taking worming tablets. You probably have worms. She said, you probably got worms. Oh, because you get wet off the animals. She's like, look at me, you've got worms. I was like, no, I don't. Don't accuse me of worms. She said, you probably got worms. Oh, because you get off the animals. She's like, look at me, you got worms. I was like,

no I don't. Don't accuse me of worms. So she had to worm meat. Spitting out the tablet. Not taking it. Give you a little bit of a dog meat

just to get it through, get it down your system. This is really interesting. Now we talked a couple of weeks ago about Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian getting married with Elvis.

You know, it was a wedding that wasn't official, but they did the Elvis wedding. I've gone through the unofficial wedding with my wife when we were traveling with Elvis. But now the licensing company that controls the name and image of Elvis have now got in touch with the chapels over there in Vegas

and said, hey, you might not be able to do any themed Elvis weddings anymore, which is an iconic thing because you're breaching our trademark. But you let you get away with it for about 30 years. Yeah, that's weird that they've done it now. There's a new Elvis movie coming out soon

which looks very good. So maybe they've sorted out the rights for that and gone, hang on. These guys have been trading off Elvis for decades.

Now the Elvis guy on the Elvis movie that I saw in the trailer, he looks, you can't tell the difference between Elvis and the actor Ben. Right, yeah. He looks incredible. He's a dead ringer. Geez, he loved his pelvis

moves, didn't he? As soon as he imagine back in that time. Now we're used to Cardi B and WAP. That's the level of entertainment we can happily consume now. Back in the day, when he was doing a gyrating pelvis, that must have blown their minds

totally six thousand over six thousand albus themes weddings happen a year in las vegas six thousand and two billion dollars is the wedding industry in vegas alone not just necessarily the albus weddings but in general two billion dollars because i guess a lot of people just go to vegas and have a vegas wedding well they probably need they need a backup celebrity who else could you get do they need to be deceased to make it? Like an impersonator sort of thing, yeah. What they said last weekend. Michael Jackson weddings?

No. One chap who last weekend had the impersonator change instead of a leather jacket and jeans went for a fedora. So the fedora's like, hey, not Elvis. Elvis never wore a fedora. Elvis on holiday. Yeah. He looked kind of like Elvis.

He didn't wear a hat. He didn't wear too many hats. He's like, hey, here's me. I'm in Cuba. Yeah He looked kind of like Elvis You know I wear a hat He didn't wear too many hats He said Hey Here's to me I'm a I'm a cool And that is what it's making A fedora

A fedora will save this all Rise and shine Time to start the Who are we kidding We're not the boss of you Jono and Ben On the hits Been a lot of talk this week

About Jacinda Ardern You know reminding New Zealand Is a thing Touring through the US And Ben Her plane breaking down to the New Zealand Defence Force plane. Unfortunate timing for Aotearoa. We didn't need an international incident of a plane breaking down on a tarmac, but we actually put an ad up for it on Trade Me. Jacinda's broken down plane, and someone's put a bid in for a billion dollars,

which is starting to make Ben a little nervous. If we owe, what trade me, 3% of a billion? Well, if it's, yeah, if all things all go through, so, you know, I don't have that. Firstly, we don't have the plane. That's probably the first issue. Secondly, it was just some lowbrow comedy that we were trying to get out. If I haven't been through a court case before,

I just don't want to go back there. No, I mean, no one wants to ever owe 3% of a billion dollars. No, no, but hey,

I've said it many times. Last night he was texting, texting Behem, so I was in on the group, texting, reading, and when I was going to bed and he's like,

we should pull out of this auction. So you've made your, and then Behem's was like, I woke up stressed, I should have, I couldn't sleep, you're right, we need to get rid of it,

so it's all on you, Pryor. Well, I've got nothing to do with it. Mate, so sleep. You're right. We need to get rid of it. It's all on you, Pryor. Well, I've got nothing to do with it. Mate, so your name's on there. Yeah. Who came up with the idea? Yeah, well, yeah. I did dare.

You're right. I did. But I did say not as a genuine one. I wanted to get Xanthi the graphic designer to make it up. Remember? Anyway, I got into a hole of planes. Air Force One, the American plane. Yeah?

The one that the president flies around in. Hit the music, pal. Now, Air Force One. You remember that song from Nelly? You just sung a song about Nike shoes? Hopefully you got a free pair. Yeah. The president's Air Force One plane.

There's two of them It's got a bedroom Bathroom Conference room Gymnasium 19 televisions 85 telephones And it's three levels high

Wow This is an airplane It's like an inner city penthouse And 85 telephones seems Surely one or two suffices on an airplane I guess everywhere he goes on the plane. He needs a telephone. Yeah.

Why do they stop at 85 too? Well, it's probably the number of rooms in other places. Wow. The skin on the outside of the plane protects against electromagnetic pulses so no enemies can counter jam the electrical equipment on the plane. Oh, wow. That's way too much technology to have to explain to Joe Biden. Yeah.

Having to explain to him, this is what an electromagnetic pulse is. Getting him into work Skype would be hard enough. Can't even penetrate the plane. But he can use one of the 85 phones. Also for security reasons, the vice president and the president, they never fly on the same plane. Which I get. Same with the royal family, right? They all take separate planes. So the vice president and the president, they never fly on the same plane. Which I get. Same with the royal family, right?

They all take separate planes. So the vice president goes in Air Force Two. Now Air Force One, this is the crucial difference. Air Force One, you can drink. You can drink

whatever you want on there. It's like a commercial flight. Air Force Two, poor Kamala, it's a dry plane. What, really? Yeah. I don't know what the...

Okay. Not that you have to be drinking at all times on the... It feels like a stitch-up from a president in years gone by. Going, hey, Vice President's never going to be able to have a drink on his plane. I'll be having an absolute blinder. One of the perks of being President. On Air Force One. Maybe it's like Jetstar.

You have to pay a little extra for the service. Maybe on Air Force Two they push the trolley down. Ikemala's got to use the Air Force card. Yeah, exactly. Pay $32 for a mini pack of Grain waves or something And also While there's no

Confirmed reports Of any president Actually flying in it Air Force One Has also got a little An amphibious partner Called the Douglas Dolphin Now this is a plane

That can go underwater And fly It seats four people Has anyone seen this before? No first thing i'd do as a president is go where's the dolphin we're going for a hoon exactly no president's ever used it wow and uh yeah they always take the limousine to the presidential limo and the cargo plane that follows the air force one plane everywhere they go so listen in terms of the green party and their yeah climate change campaign i don't know if two giant planes followed by three cargo planes and four fighter jets and a limousine a big gas

guzzling limousine is quite what we're aiming for by 2029 kilda i'm rachel jackson lees and this is the news yeah the most thoroughly researched quirky news stories you'll hear today. A lot of beeps in this. More than an episode of Police 107. How does the game work, Belle? So I've come up with two little news stories for you. Of course, quirky, as you said. And you've got to work out which words are beeped, okay?

You ready for the first one? Okay. Two inseparable shelter dogs... in Texas last week. Two inseparable shelter dogs go beep beep in Texas last week. I'm going to chuck it out there that two inseparable shelter dogs sniffed each other's bits last week in an adorable act. I'm going to say they're kind of like Snoop Dogg, these shelter dogs, and they enjoyed a joint together last week. Let's have a listen.

Let's find out for you. Two inseparable shelter dogs got married in an adorable ceremony in Texas last week. It's a little lady and the tramp where they had spaghetti. I would hope so. But yeah, there's these two little chihuahuas, Peanut and Cashew, and they both were given to the shelter. No one could look after them anymore. and they've just been inseparable. They are so happy.

They're the best of friends, and they just had a funny little dress them up and like little bride and groom doggy outfit. A little arranged marriage situation there. That is gorgeous. Yeah. You ready for your next one? Yeah, let's do it. Taranaki Lotto winners, 5.3 million.

Well, I'm going to go Taranaki Lotto winners 5.3 million Well I'm going to go Taranaki Lotto winners spent 5.3 million on pre-mixed bourbons and monster energy drinks That's probably true for the Taranaki that's for sure

Hey I'm going to say that like 5.3 million dollars on cheese purchases because cheese is expensive they can buy cheese at the moment Three blocks

Yeah exactly Taranaki Lotto winners 5.3 million Mother's Day to remember Yeah so some people in Taranaki Lotto winners, 5.3 million Mother's Day to remember. Yeah, so some people in Taranaki, a mum, she won the Lotto on Mother's Day, 5.3 million. And obviously Mother's Day was a while ago, but they only just really found out about it. So how exciting is that? What's the deal when you buy someone a Lotto ticket and they won?

What's the obligation, the moral obligation? Like if you gave gave maybe not your mum but if you gave me a ticket you're like hey Ben there you go have you passed on all your rights to me

or am I obligated to give you some of that winnings I'm wanting a mil you're wanting a mil I'm wanting a mil you're wanting a mil but you've got

five points from now listen break it down I've just bought you a ticket I've said happy Mother's Day Ben and you've won five points you're not a mother

but okay you bought me a ticket let's say it's for my birthday whatever you bought me a ticket and you've won five... You're not a mother, but okay. Yeah, just anyway. You bought me a ticket. Let's say it's for my birthday. Whatever. You bought me a ticket. And you've won $5.3 million. I'll give you a mil. I'll give you a mil.

Oh, my God. That's only fair, isn't it? No, because it feels like something you would need to set before it happens. But you never would, though, would you? No, because you wouldn't. You'd never go home by the way if you wouldn't. I want a mil. But, like, you can't then come back after.

Money makes people do some weird things. Okay, well, then, if it's not a mil, I want the $23 back that I spent. Because I got you all the bonus tickets and all the extra money. I'll give you that. Maybe don't buy people lotto tickets. Well, that's the thing. Because you're giving the chance away. The other thing is, too, if you were ever in a group syndicate

and you were the person who had the ticket and you won, the other group, they don't know. What are you doing? That's a real moral deliver. Hey, thanks, Bell. That was the use of leaps. I'll tell you what I'm doing. Not living in New Zealand anymore. Hey, what happened to Jono? He just disappeared. Spy. Know what's up.

Spy.co.nz Here's some stories about people who are far better looking than the rest of us. Bell, what's going on? Well, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, this has been a massive story over the past six weeks. Belle, what's going on? Well, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard, this has been a massive story over the past six weeks. It all wrapped up last week and since then the jury has been deliberating

and this morning the news broke they have reached a verdict after quite a few days of deliberating since it closed and we're going to find out. It has to be unanimous, right? Everyone has to agree. It has to be, yeah,

when you're in a jury situation unless they can't agree after like a long period of time and then sometimes they say hung It has to be, yeah, when you're in a jury situation, unless they can't agree after like a long period of time, and then sometimes they say hung jury. Hung jury, yeah. Yeah. I'd always like to be that niggly jury member who's like, nah, don't agree with the rest of you, but we all think the same thing. Nah, not me, I like the free lunches

here, let's keep going. There might be some people that are like that, right? No, I can imagine it would take a very long time, and anyway, so we're going to find out, 7 o'clock our time, they will go into the court and deliver the verdict. So sometime from seven, we'll find out. Johnny Depp won't be in court. He's got other work commitments.

He's actually been playing in some concerts with a band in the UK. And Amber Heard will be there, which her team... She's got no work commitments. Her team, yeah. Well, her team's saying it's not a very good look That he's not there But I guess Gosh it dragged on Quite a while didn't it

And I mean he's done What he's needed to do Yeah Right he's been there For what If he had to be there I guess he'd be there Well you're right

He's fulfilled his actual Legal obligations I guess Yeah And from following it Throughout It's like It's very sad either way It's very problematic

And so it's going to be Really interesting to see What happens I mean he sued her For 50 million, which she does not have. There's no real winners out of this. No. It's like this show. No one comes out of it looking good, do they?

Did anyone use your defamation pun through this whole process? Because we phoned TMZ and said, we're handing you a headline here, defamation. Not what I'm saying. From my scrolling of TMZ lately, haven't seen it pop out. No one's used defamation. Probably the story for it, I guess. Yeah a headline here, depamation. Not what I was saying. From my scrolling of TMZ lately, haven't seen it pop out. No one's used depamation story for it, I guess. Yeah, that's fine. Also, this is quite exciting, some lighter news.

This weekend, the Queen's Jubilee celebrations are finally on. We've been talking about it for a while. And Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have arrived in the UK with their two children ahead of it. And it's the first time that the Queen is going to meet little Lilibet,

who is named after, that's the Queen's nickname. Nickname, yeah. Yeah, so she's going to meet her, which... Well, it'll be sufficiently awkward for everyone involved, won't it? Well, I'm sure that for any great-grandmother, it's very exciting meeting a child. Yeah, true. They'll be like, William, Harry.

That'll be the interaction, won't it? It sounds like the Queen gets on better with them. They have this close relationship Yeah I know that situation Benjamin, Jonathan Queen, Queen, yep And also Ed Sheeran is going to perform at the Jubilee, a special tribute to Prince

Philip and the Queen's long relationship and I'm just thinking hopefully it's not a repeat of last time Ed Sheeran was involved in some royal celebrations. Remember that time there was a party and Princess Beatrice actually cut him. Oh, a sword, eh? Yeah, well, she was pretending to knight James Blunt and then Ed was standing behind her

and she swung the sword back and sliced his face. Which was anything but blunt. Yeah, exactly. And I remember, because every time we'd interviewed Ed Sheeran, you know, sort of close to that event, the first thing that anyone would say was like, you can't talk about the sword. He wasn't allowed to talk about it.

He's like, this lady sliced my face and I can't even discuss it. It was shut down. That's the power of the royal whanau. And is the queen turning up to her jubilee? She's a bit like, I'll make it if I feel like I'm into it. Maybe not the whole four days. I'll pop in. I'll pop in at some stage.

It's like an end of year work function. Oh, yeah, I'll pop into'm into it. Maybe not the whole four days. I'll pop in. I'll pop in at some stage. It's like an end of year work function. Oh yeah, I'll pop into the week, buddy. Yeah, I'll go and get my things. Do you know how hard we're working on this, do you believe? Yeah. I'm swinging for 15 or 20, eh? Yeah. And that is Spike.

You can get more now at thehats.co.nz. The annoying ones talking between the socks. Jono and Ben on the Hats. The Johnny Depp Amber Heard defamation trial. It's been going on for six weeks. It's been all over the news. And the jury has reached a verdict, but it hasn't come through yet. We're expecting it any time now. The judge looked like she sent the jury back out because they didn't fill the amount of damages correctly or something.

Yeah, the punitive damages. So I don't know what that means. Oh, clearer, clearer. But apparently, according to the experts, that means that there's a clear winner, there's a clear winner, and they're going to have to pay something. Well, then B Hubs came back in,

and he's like, oh, no, no, more expert analysis. That might mean that the jury said there is a winner, but there's no damages. Yeah. They didn't want them to pay. Court procedures can be a bit like that, where they're like back and forth. There's like all these things I've got to do.

Well, it's our job to speculate. You love a speculation. Yeah, I do love a speculation. You're quite a gossipy little individual. Love it. Love a gossip. Hey, so something quite not quite as important and world news-like, but it is getting colder at the moment, winter.

And, you know, I noticed that this morning you get into your car in the morning if it's been parked outside and it's all foggy. Like the screen inside the car is foggy. And there's something been going around on TikTok with a very good debate. And it's now reached 2.3 million views. A lady in Melbourne had said, do you use hot or cold air to defog your car windscreen? And the results have been mixed. Like some people like you are, blast the hot air.

Blast hot, go hard. I push that weird little button with the three wavy arrows pointing up and just give it it all. Turn it up to 10 and I think hot air gets rid of it quicker. They both work to some degree, hot or cold.

I guess Katy Perry wrote that song about this problem, I think. I think we might have the hook around. Yeah. She's like, how do I demist this windscreen? That's what it's all about, I think. I haven't listened closely, but she's like, I'm in the thing. I think we might have the hook around something. Yeah. She's like, how do I demist this windscreen? That's what it's all about, I think. I haven't listened closely,

but she's like, I'm in the car, is it hot or is it cold? I don't know. Seems like a good song for her. I'm going, if you've got air con, you blast it cold

and it seems to get, for me, seems to get rid of it quicker. But then you're driving in the middle of winter, you know, like you're driving through the Antarctic.

Yeah, wakes you up, wakes you up, makes you feel alive as well. You know, sleepy conditions. You talk about sleepy Joe Biden, but you feel alive as well. You know, sleepy conditions. You talk about sleepy Joe Biden, but sleepy conditions

when you blast out hot air for me. So this is what you want to chuck out. A nationwide debate. I feel like hot air's created it already. For me, you know, hot air is, you know, because you've got in the car. I always feel quite self-conscious. I remember when I was driving in a car

and my window would steam up as if my body was emitting, you know, and you would feel a bit, like you're like, oh, this is, my body's not why is he steamy he's on heat just means you're really hotty yeah and you'd kind of become self-conscious about your steamy window would you yeah yeah all right so oh under the hits four four eight seven let's try and settle this this morning because it's a really interesting debate people listening right now will be in their cars they'll probably be doing this

and they want to know hot or cold air to defog your windscreen from the inside. Or do you take neither of those options, drive to the nearest intersection and get one of those illegal windscreen wipers to make your windscreen dirtier as option number three. Or air from the outside, but they're not coming inside their car, are they? So under the hits, 4487 will settle this debate next. Jono and Ben. Actually morning around the country and as i said before many people getting in their cars driving to work dropping kids off at school and there's a debate that's been raging on tiktok set up by a melbourne woman kayla jackson who took to tiktok revealing that she didn't know how to clear how to defog her windscreen from the inside do you use

cold air do you blast cold air or do you blast hot air yeah ben's cold guy i'm a Yeah, Ben's a cold guy, I'm a hot guy, and what I love too in this modern era, we all know that we could both find the answer to this in under three seconds on the internet, but we refuse to. No, we have. We've looked into it, and it pretty much cancels itself out as far as it goes. Yeah, so do you want me to tell you? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Spoiler alert. So basically

the warm air helps evaporate it quickly. A win for you? Yeah. But then keep going? Yeah, but then it's only a it quickly. A win for you? Yeah. Jono, but then keep going? Yeah. But then it's only a temporary fix. If you want it to stop forming, experts recommend using cool air. A win for me. So there you go.

So it's like... It's a 50-50 split. When you're in that situation, you need to declare ASAP. So I've always just done whatever, and then the hot seems to make it go far. Experts. I need to see while I'm driving.

So now it's gone to a referendum. Popularity. We're going to go Maggie. Are you hot or cold when you defog in the windscreen, Mags? I'm a hot. Get rid of it quickly. Yeah, blast it out like a tornado on the text machine. Both 22 degrees, level four.

Pump it out on AC, says one text. Morning team. That's what I'm doing, yeah. Morning team, I'm on hot air with the aircon button. Works amazing. Guys, in my truck, I'm always on cold air. Thank you. That's what I'm doing, yeah. Morning team, I'm on hot air with the aircon button. Works amazing. Guys, in my truck, I'm always on cold air. Thank you. That's a one for me.

Yep. It's simple thermal dynamics team. Oh, sorry. That's what they're leading with. Sorry. Hot air to defog windows. Hot air carries less moisture than cold air. Really?

Well, I mean, it's simple thermal dynamics. Yeah, sorry, you're right. It is simple thermal dynamics. Like the internet, we're split down the middle. We're on the text machine too on New Zealand's Breakfast, so we're going to go through to the one and only place that'll be able to give us an answer. All right.

Novus windscreens. Okay, let's give them a call. Good morning, Novus Glass. I'm here to give you some show. When you find your vision lacking, Novus, fill your crack in. Show us your crack. Ah, Novus.

And it's John. John, how are you? Now, can I just... Can I tell you something? Sure. You have been graced with the star, the lead character and head writer in the Novus Show Us Your Crack jingle, Ben Boyce. He wrote it.

He appeared in it. Do you recognise this? Oh, Novus. Yeah, that was me. That was me. To be honest, it's my one claim to fame. What do you want to say to that? Just the only one, yeah.

It's the only one, yeah, exactly. Is that all the reaction we're going to get? Can we get it? I'll do a take two and you just go, wow, okay? Okay, all right. Ben wrote lead character, Novus commercial, did it all. Ah, Novus, there he is. What do you say?

Oh, no way. Oh, my God. There you go, that's great. Oh, wow. To be honest, I did the tv show for many many years but when you told someone about the novice ad that was the thing that was most impressive apart from you you were just kind of oh yeah that's okay we're sorry to bug you this morning but we're having a bit of a debate now when you when you windscreen you're inside your car and

you're driving and it gets a bit foggy you windscreen now there's a debate going around it's on tiktok as well whether you use cold air or warm air to defog your windscreen. Now there's a debate going around, it's on TikTok as well, whether you use cold air or warm air to defog your windscreen. Oh. I always use warm, but my partner uses cold. Uh-oh. This is the division. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. I get cold, so I want

the warm air. I mean, both have an effect. I find, now this is just me as well, I find the hot air gets rid of the steam or the condensation quicker than the cold That's my thoughts too I think that Blast the cold with the air con I think there's no quicker way to do it

It's just too cold, otherwise no No Ben, no I'm with you Did you say he's dead to you? No she didn't And do you know who you're talking to? It's Ben Boyce from the Novus commercials. Oh, my God, that famous guy.

Oh, wow. That's it. You're awesome. Sorry for bugging you on your day, but thank you for helping us out with your debate. We appreciate it. Oh, good. Have a good day.

That sounds like you. Now, my son Oscar, he's, and I love this about it, because he just gives everything a bash. And, you know, he told us last week, because I've signed up to the table tennis team. I was like, have you ever played table tennis he's like nah

And we're hanging around before the tournament started, the weekly table tennis tournament. And I was like, I want to play with you. I want to have a whack. And he's like, well, I don't have a, there's no bats. You have to go and buy a bat from the pro shop so then i was like oh this is getting i'm getting in deep with table tennis we better have you on the world circuit maybe you could be a judge on dancing with the stars they still have those paddles

yeah maybe i'll sell my paddles i went and i purchased one in the pro shop. It was like 15 bucks. And the problem was, in the pro shop, the flooring was sort of that, you know, lino. Okay? And I'm running, as I said, I fronted this whole thing with abnormally squeaky shoes. Okay? I'm starting to become very self-conscious about them. I squeak my way in to the pro shop. And then the lovely lady behind the counter, we're doing the transaction. I'm like, hey, son's going to join the world table tennis circuit i need a bat need to train him

up i want to be like bloody old uh what's his name king richard right yeah but the table tennis version and so i buy the bat but then my shoes squeak and they make a noise that sounds like something else has come less than savory you know a noise that no one's happy to hear. That situation's happened to many people. Everyone's had it. It happened with shoes, it happened with chairs, it happens with floorboards. But then what I do is then I'm also, she's not saying anything,

she's like, I heard that, in her mind, I can tell, you can tell on her face, I heard that. I'm trying to recreate the squeak. Yeah. So it's like, oh yeah, that's come from, you know, a third party, not his body. You know, and I'm awkwardly trying to twist my foot on the floor. So I'm getting a squeak going on. Well, that's the thing.

I know that if you get called out on it, someone's like, oh, is that you? You go, no, it was my shoe. Or the chair. And then you do, you go try and recreate. And you can never recreate it. You can never recreate it But everyone's like Oh yeah sure

It was the cheer Yeah So my mind was wandering And she's trying to hand me Over a table tennis bat And I'm just trying to recreate A squeak fart with my shoe Anyway

Went and played table tennis It was a bit of a laugh Johnny Depp Verdict's just come through guys Oh has it? He's won Has he? Johnny Depp has won

We'll give you all the details of how much he's going to be awarded next hard-hitting interviews and informed opinion mike hosking on news talks at b in the meantime jonathan ben on the hits after six weeks of a court case uh sort of dominating a lot of the world's media and attention uh johnny depp amber heard the defamation trial the jury has reached the verdict. It's just come through. And the jury has ruled in favor of Johnny Depp and his lawsuit against ex-wife Amber Heard, who had accused him of abuse. And he's won some compensation up to $15 million.

I think we've got some audio right now. Yeah, we do. Here we go. As against Amber Heard, we the jury award compensatory damages in the amount of $10 million. As against Amber Heard heard we the jury award punitive damages in the amount of five million dollars so 15 mil all up now i produced a bee hump so we would make a shocking live news show because he's coming in he's like mouthing he's

like audio and i was like what's the audio i don't know what is the audio we're about to play the audio is just uh just the the judge reading the verdict there. Here we go. Do you find that Mr. Depp has proven all the elements of defamation? Answer, yes. Do you find that Mr. Depp has proven, by clear and convincing evidence, that Ms. Heard acted with actual malice? Answer, yes.

Yeah, well, there we go. So the defamation case was all centered around an article she wrote in a Washington newspaper, the Washington Post. Because then the trial was being held in Fairfax, Virginia. So that's an odd location. But that's where the paper's published. Yeah, right. So, I mean, as you said before, there's no real winners in this. It's horrible for everyone.

For Johnny Deapers. And there was a counter case as part of the trial as well, in which Amber Heard has been awarded $2 million in that case. So yeah, it is... It's all just so messy. I feel sorry for her. I mean, you see her on the screen with a lot of things. She's sitting in the courtroom. He's not

there. He's got supporters outside all hugging and stuff outside. She looks broken. It's deeply upsetting. And even looking at the text machine, we have people saying, go Johnny. And yeah, we love Johnny, but it's very, it's just icky.

It's just, you can't, yeah, I don't know. It's just a very icky situation. Like we said at the beginning, it seems like they're probably both guilty on some part

and the truth's somewhere in the middle. And that's kind of been what the case has said. She gets some money, he gets some money and hopefully they can get on with their lives. We're going to be talking

to our Hollywood insider. He's inside more of Hollywood than Botox, this guy. Enty is his name. He's going to be joining us after eight. He knows them both. Yeah. Yeah. He's met them both.

So, yeah, there we go. Johnny Depp has won the case. But even though he's won, they've all kind of lost, unfortunately. It is the hits. You've got Jono and Ben. Five words for 5K. You're just five words away from $5,000. Your chance to win $5,000.

Yeah. Take two. Take two. There's something else here. There's the whales passing our coastline at the moment. Yeah, no, if you keep your eye out along the coast, the dolphins have been in close and the humpbacks have been passing by. Beautiful, beautiful part of New Zealand.

A lot of humpbacks. That's what we call Ben around the office. Paradise here. Paradise here as well. Thank you for ignoring that because it's good. All right, Jamie, who do you want to send into the soundproof booth this morning to try and match up your five words? We'll go with Ben, thanks.

All right. Okay. All right, you go into the soundproof booth and what happens inside that booth stays between you and the booth, Ben. Okay, we won't speak of it. Good luck, Ben, thank you. Good luck. He's locked inside there, J-Mo.

Let's try and win you $5,000. First word that comes into your head when I say nuggets. Gold. Gold nuggets. Strum is the second word this morning. Plum, did you say? Strum, sorry, S-T-R-U-M Strum

Owl. Towel. Bath. Bath, yeah. I had no solution. Can I change one word? How much are you going to pay me? The strum to guitar.

Yeah, to be honest, I was silently thinking drum. That's what I said to myself. But you've gone with a better option for word number two. Let's do it. We'll get Ben out of the booth. Welcome. Welcome back. What went on inside there?

Good to be back. What were you up to? Aligning with my thoughts. Well, what goes on in the backstage between you and the booth. That's what you said, right? It's good you can confess to someone. Do you just pop a little thing? Confession.

Thank you so much for being part of the show. We appreciate you listening. Thank you so much. We're in Kaikoura next time. We'll go and visit you and have something from Ninsbin. Oh, yeah. Ninsbin. Jesus, nailed the local reference.

Did you? Well done. Hey. They're not afraid to use the F word. Be family friendly fun. Jono and Ben on the hits. Of course, we're in June now. First of June was yesterday.

And if any baby was born yesterday, they could be awarded a whole lot of money. There's a promotion going on. So if you know anyone with any babies that were born yesterday, give us a text 4487 to explain how they could get some cash. They probably don't even know about it. I just was reading an article. What is this bloody suspicious baby raffle you're talking about? Give us a text, 4487, to explain how they could get some cash. They probably don't even know about it. I just was reading an article. What is this bloody suspicious baby raffle you're talking about?

But he refuses to give any details. It sounds a bit dodgy. Like is this some trafficking thing or something? Just text me and I'll send you the details of the baby raffle. It's not a paid thing. It's obviously through, you know, like a company. Oh, is there a corporate association? Two Degrees and Focus New Zealand have merged and becoming a broadband company

and they're paying for every baby born yesterday. So it's like they're doing it. It's all a big promotion thing, but I was just reading about it. But they haven't paid the hits for you to talk about. It's a great thing they're doing, obviously. In doing so, thank you for being very aware of the non-payment of Two Degrees on the show. The $222,000 they're going to give to registered babies born in New Zealand yesterday. But in doing so, trying to hide the corporate association,

you've also come across like you're running a black market baby raffle. Text me about the babies and I'll tell you. I'll tell you how I'll give you some money. Love those babies. We can make a lot of money off those babies. Sorry, guys, sorry. Listen, one thing that I like to do, Ben, and you know this about me. Raffle babies.

Raffle babies. You know, they're lucrative. That's my thing. Sorry. I'm a door holder. I like holding the door for people. Maybe it's the narcissist in me trying to appear like a decent person or something. No, I think you're quite polite.

Oh, no, but two, like sometimes the people are like 15 minutes away and he's still open with a big smile. You're three blocks away. You coming? You coming? She's coming through. Yeah, I'm a door holder for colleagues, strangers, whatever it is. It's an open door policy with me.

The problem is, though, it's a two-person ballet, okay? So when there's a door holder and there's a door receiver, you know, the person receiving the open door, they know their role. Thank you. I walk through, you know. That's when it works. That's when it's at a sweet spot, the know their role. Thank you. I walk through. That's when it works. That's when it's at a sweet spot, the door-holding game. Where it starts to fall over is if two door-holders come into contact

with each other at the door. Oh, yes. So I'm a door-holder. There's someone from another station I found out. At the moment, they're a door-holder as well. Both of us are waiting at the door but passive aggressively refusing to go through

oh it's a Kiwi thing though isn't it no you go first no you go first and that's what it was and it goes back and forth like a game of tennis oh no no no

you go no no no you go and you're trying to out polite each other and there's no there's never a winner because neither of you

wants to give in because you're both going no no this is my thing I'm a I'm a like a pretend. Because neither of you wants to give in. Because you're both going, no, no, this is my thing. I'm like a pretend I haven't seen you situation. Especially with lift doors. You are. I'm like, oh, sorry. I just, oh, sorry.

And I'm very slow to walk towards the buttons. I'm a pretend I haven't seen you. I'll be honest with you. I am. Like, I love talking to people. But sometimes I'm just like, ah. Do you know'll be honest with you I am I love talking to people but sometimes I'm just like do you know the thing

and listen I vouch for this there was there was one time we'd finished a show Bill and I went to use the lift I saw Ben in the lift

I saw him there he was standing there and he looked me dead in the eyes and I said I hadn't seen you I went whoa whoa whoa

as if to indicate hey just keep the doors open as they were slowly shutting I know there's a button in there you can reopen. Just do the reverse arrows. Push the reverse arrows. He's looking at me. What are you doing to you? And he goes.

You know him so well. It's not awkward. And as the doors are slowly closing over his face, as he's looking me in the eye, he's like, sorry, bro. You'll have to catch the next one. Boom. Too hard. Too hard to get it. I'm sorry.

Boom. And he does. It was the greatest out ever. Have a magical day. There you go. That's Cash in Car. Guess how much cash we've stashed in the Škoda's boot and drive it home along with all that money. It's your chance right now to take home this fantastic Škoda

and all the cash that's in the back. Your guess is happening right now. Yeah, Lynn, welcome from New Plymouth House Taranaki this morning. There's an early childhood teacher there, Lynn. Is Lynn on the phone? Have we pushed Lynn? How are you, Lynn? It's going to be a good day. Yeah, good. You having a good one, mate?

Yes, I am, yes. Now, Lynn, are you married? If you don't mind me asking. I am. I mind you asking. We, Lynn, are you married, if you don't mind me asking? I am. Yeah, you have a... I mind you asking. We celebrated our 41st wedding anniversary. Oh, well done. Well, listen, there's not going to be any more wedding anniversaries after this because if you win this car, you'll want to marry the car. I'm sorry.

You're going to leave your partner for a car. Well, people do that. We're reading about someone that married a plane or something. I don't think so. I'll keep him in the car. No, it's going to win, Lynn. I'm sorry. That's the collateral of winning this prize, but it's an amazing

prize. You're a great human being, Lynne, teaching children at an early age as an early childhood teacher. I've got one-year-olds I've got today, so yeah, looking forward to my day. What are you teaching one-year-olds? Oh, you teach them all sorts of things. They learn so much when they're one. Amazing how quickly

they do develop, isn't it, those babies? Ben was running an illegal baby raffle before 8 o'clock. Did you hear that? No, no. Alright, Lynn, we've had enough out of John Ho. Let's hand you over to cashkeeper Alex. You can have your guess. Yeah, let's get you out of that situation, Lynn. So, Lynn from New Plymouth.

What is your guess, Lynn? Well, my granddaughter, Libby's been helping me work it out. So, we've been listening to the clues, and we've worked out between us that it's $18,017 and even zero, zero cents. Okay. Does that mean you have to split the prize? I might have to take her away on holiday with me.

That sounds nice. She's not getting the car, though. No. Our son and daughter-in-law and grandchildren live in the States and she'd absolutely love to go and see them. Awesome.

Let's hope we can get you there. So Lynn from New Plymouth with a guess of $18,017. One and two and three. That is incorrect. I'm sorry. Oh, sorry. Thank you so much for the opportunity. I owe you another chance at 11 o'clock this morning.

I'll be a little bit busy by 11 o'clock. Don't talk to her about 11 o'clock this morning, mate. She's coaching one-year-olds to do burpees. We'll keep listening. Was that the closest guess yet, Alex? Can you say? I won't say anymore, but I might have something up my sleeve. If it doesn't go at 11 or 3 or 5, I might have something up my sleeve for tomorrow.

Did everyone else just fall in love with Lynn then? What a lovely lady. And what a monster for not giving her the car, Alex. All right, Cash and Car will continue. We'll hopefully be giving it away before the end of the week. Warning. Contained dodgy parenting advice. Shono and Ben on the hits. One thing I love as a parent is the fact

when the kids come back from school and they're doing some school fundraising and the schools get them all jacked up. Like salespeople sending them out to the world. It is. You know, this good old school fundraiser, it's cult-like and it is child labour working at its finest. Door-to-door, miniature door-to-door salespeople.

Yeah, exactly. They get them all pumped up for it. We've gone over the years through many phases of school fundraising. Entertainment books, we've talked about before. A book full of coupons, discount coupons you use for meals and activities. No restaurant, bar, or cafeteria, or anywhere, likes entertaining a voucher from the entertainment board. No, but I got great joy.

I was one of the few people to go. And then you go, oh, I've got a little coupon for that. And then you pull that out and you'll be like, that'll be looking like, oh, here we go. You're a coupon guy.

He's a coupon guy. So we had the entertainment books and we had the chocolate boxes. And great play from the school because they give the boxes of chocolate in the house and they sit there for a while and in the end,

it gets into some sort of IOU system from the family. And you end up buying the box yourself, pretty much, you know? Oh, yeah, I had a dairy milk yeah no pixie caramel so yeah they sell a few bars to grandparents and whatnot but most of it you pay for yourself there's always an allure most families have that one auntie or uncle that you go go see auntie jocelyn sell her the whole book sell her the whole thing but at the moment

my daughter she's going to go on the Ames Games she's going to be playing netball on the Ames Games and they're fundraising for that now there's a big tournament

that happens in Tauranga and she's playing netball on that and I'm like great she's like can I go to the Ames Games I'm like yeah sure of course you can

I didn't realise there was a cost involved it's not like the All Blacks get selected and then they go have to fundraise to go play the Australians yeah they're not out there doing sausage sizzles knocking daughter at all going do you want to buy a hamper of you know expired chutneys or anything no exactly so then all of a sudden i was like what it's how much and so they're going out there

fundraising and they're trying to get on the fundraising they're trying to brainstorm some ideas at the moment seeing her last night my daughter was like we need to brainstorm some ideas at the moment. Sienna last night, my daughter was like, we need to brainstorm some ideas. And she came to me with some ideas and I kept going, I don't know. So she said, can I record a message to play to Jono from all these things? I keep shutting her down on these ideas. And I get to choose. Have a listen.

This is a message for you from Sienna, my daughter. Okay, Jono, I need some help fundraising. And I reckon you and dad should help me out. You have a radio show that goes all around New Zealand But dad says I can't get free commercials To plug my fundraising What good is having a radio show if I can't do that And then I thought I could do an auction

Where someone pays to go have lunch with you and dad But dad says you're probably not into that And it's too awkward for him to ask Is that because you hate children Just wondering So these are the things You can't get free ads on the show She's wanting me to awkward Is that because you hate children? Just wondering So these are the things So I was like You can't get free ads on the show

And then She's wanting me to awkward What She wants to auction us off For an awkward lunch Yeah and I was like Look I don't want to ask Jono that She's like why is that awkward

And I was like I don't want to be And she's like Do you hate children That's the question Oh so she's asking me Do I hate children Yeah

I'm sorry Setnana, I do. Why am I getting roped into an auction lunch? Well, that's what I said. I was like, he's got no part in this. Why am I calling in a favor for this thing? Where is the lunch? I don't know. We probably need to pay for it as well.

There's a lot of, I had so many questions. She's like, record this, play this to Jono. Does he hate children? Listen, I'll give you 20 bucks. I'll give you 20 bucks for your AIMS game, Sienna. We'll do that. No, I'll join you on your awkward lunch. I'll do it for you.

I don't know if it's actually happening, but it is the heads. You go, Jono and Ben. You're essential listening for non-essential banter. Jono and Ben on the heads. Now, we wanted to talk about what's your thing. You know everyone's got a thing, don't they? Whether it's a hobby, interest, or just what you're known for. Yeah.

What's your thing? Well, I was thinking about this yesterday because I knew we were going to talk about it. I'm a very grand man that's into sort of childish things from time to time would be my thing. You know, we talk about my Toy Story backpack. Toy Story 4. The greatest in the installment.

My Smiggle wallet. Why did you pick 4 over 1? I would have thought the... It was a freebie from the movie company, but I love it. I've kept that thing going. You stuck with it for like... That's a three or four year old. But let me just see when Toy Story 4 was released.

Yeah, so that's kind of my thing. That's my thing. My wife thinks she loves the throw pillows. She's a throw pillow person. We've talked about that before. She's got like so many throw pillows on the bed. Display pillows. She's stuck with that person. We've talked about that before. She's got like so many throw pillows on the bed. Display pillows. She's stuck with that bag since June 2019.

That's when Toy Story 4 was released. What's your thing? I would say T-shirts. I have an abundance of T-shirts, none of which I throw out. But none of which you, like you've got a very tight rotate of T-shirts. I do have a tight rotate of T-shirts. I'm like, oh we get going with these ones,

like a cool 660 t-shirt when we're doing that eating party. I've never worn that. No, that's my thing. You don't wear like any of those.

But they're all there, I've got them. I reckon I would have and it's thanks to being in this industry, for whatever reason, you just, it just gets,

you know, an extraordinary amount of t-shirts. So I've been doing it for 22 years, that's 22 years of promotional t-shirts. You were about four doing it for 22 years. That's 22 years of promotional t-shirts. You were about four.

On a tight rotate. Do you go through and clear out your wardrobe ever? No, I just stockpile t-shirts. 22 years worth. A lot of t-shirts. You name a t-shirt. Name a brand or a band. Okay.

Katy Perry. Got it. Really? No, he hasn't. Britney Spears. No, got it. Anything with a rock band. Yeah, it'll be like. Miley Cyrus? No, he hasn't. Britney Spears. No, he hasn't. Got it. Anything with a rock band. Yeah, it'll be like.

Miley Cyrus. No, he hasn't. Led Zeppelin, Metallica, all the Bogan stuff. He's trying to pull the rug out from my example. He's trying to stitch me up. But yes, I would say, honestly, probably 300 to 400 T-shirts. But you wear, honestly, about four of them. I do.

They must smell so musty. No, I've got them all in bloody, they're all in those big plastic boxes you get from, you know, like, para rubber. Oh, you've got a t-shirt order over here. I don't know why I'm keeping them. I've got no purpose for them, and my poor children are going to be like, oh great, the old bald guy died and now I've got

1,500 t-shirts. Bunnings warehouse. Monster energy and all sorts. So what is your thing? Oh, 800 the hits. We'd love to know. 4, 4, 8, 7. Friend of her family.

She used to have elephants, display of elephants, like little ornament elephants. And she had hundreds of them. And it was impressive. And everyone would buy them for her. And I was like, well, are you into them? She's like, well, not really. But people started buying them for me. And it became her thing.

And everyone's like, oh, she loves elephants. She's like, they're okay. But she ended up with this shrine of elephants a slippery slope when you uh purchase and display one porcelain elephant that's what that's what oh and everyone someone sees it they go oh that'll be great for such and such and she's like well you know maybe but i don't walk into your house and go ben's got a tv must be a tv guy i'm gonna buy him a tv every time I see him. No, but if you were somewhere, let's say you were overseas, and you were like, hey, and you were in a shop, there was Toy Story 4 stuff.

You're like, oh, well, who are you thinking of then? I would be buying you Toy Story 4. Because that's my thing. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Talia, what's your thing? Hey, so my thing is crystals. Oh, you're a crystal person. Yes.

So what? No judgment. I'm not judging. No, because we've got friends that, you know, will carry a crystal or uses a crystal. What sort of things do you use them for? A lot of things, really. So right now there's an orange calcite that helps your vitality and energy awareness and things like fertility. Or you can go with like clear quartz or amethyst for your mind and tiger's eye.

It just, it really depends on what you need at the time. What do you do? Do you rub them on, you know, rub them on bits and pieces or how does it work? I suppose you can do that. You can sit and meditate with them or hold them or even having them in the room with you can like bring off the energies you need. Do you remember our friend Sharon gave Jono one and she spoke to the trouble. What's it to do with something

with your migraines? She's like, take this. You're like, I will take this everywhere with you. Have you got it with you today, Jono? I've got it. It's at home. Talia, do you want to know what I actually used it for? Because I was like, when he said I'll take this everywhere, I was just thinking, there's no way. He's like, I know what a shampoo

this guy is. He's not going to take it anywhere. Talia, I use it as a bottle opener. Oh my God. Do you? But do you get migraines? Well, he gets headaches, but...

Maybe. Maybe it's because of what's inside the bottles. Yeah, exactly. Well, you also have to charge crystals as well, so you put them under the moonlight to recharge them.

Oh, really? Yeah. How did you get into this? I to recharge them. Oh, really? Yeah. How did you get into this? I don't know. I guess I've just been into it ever since I was a little kid, and yeah, I just love all of that, like, crystal cards, magic-y sort of stuff. Do you find it helps? Definitely helps me.

I've improved so much once I've started using stones, so yeah. That's awesome. Isn't it great? And it's whatever makes you feel good, I back you. Good on you for doing it. Now, how many crystals have you got, though? Has it got you out of control? Like, if I lived with you and I was like, Talia, mate,

we need an intervention. So my car's got crystals in it, my house, my room, like, everywhere. And every friend that I see, I'm like, here, here's a crystal you might need. Are we talking in the hundreds? Probably more. More. Thousands. Let that get away on yourself. But good, it's helping you out,

so why not? Yeah, no, they're good. They're awesome. Is there an intervention crystal? Because I think I'll buy it and I'll come to your house. I don't think you could ever have enough crystals. Oh, Talia, good on you. Crystals. Talia's thing. Really appreciate your call this morning. You have a great day.

Thanks, you too. See you, matey. Let's get Catherine on from Chit-Chur. How was Christchurch this morning, Kath? Not too bad, thank you. Always good in Christchurch, isn't it? Ben, $2 rice, that's what you love about the city? Oh, I love, yeah, dumplings, $2 rice.

It's always good to meet you, super lucky. But what's your thing? She's got some great local references there. Duvet covers. Oh, duvet covers. How many duvet covers do you own? Probably somewhere between 30 and 40. And how many beds do you own?

One. I was going to say, do you run a hotel or something or a motel? Just about. How did you let the duvet cover collecting get away on you? Finding them on sale. Sometimes I feel like something's florally. Sometimes I feel like something's brown. Sometimes I like a geometric shape.

Sometimes I like dogs on my duvet. Right, it's just what you're feeling at the moment. Sometimes you do like geometric shapes on your duvet. Do you use them all? I cycle through them, yeah. Have you got a 40-day cycle going, have you? No, not quite.

Do you have ones like cool, like Spider-Man or anything like that? No, they're hard to find in the queen size. Yeah, I've noticed that before as well. My wife, and if my wife did, wouldn't probably let me get it.

I don't think who in their right mind would need a queen-sized Spider-Man duvet cover. I don't. What fully grown adult? You can always add it to the collection, mate.

Exactly. Jesus, have you got a king-sized Avengers duvet cover? And how old are you, sir? Listen, we're good on you. Yeah,

I always end up in a... Well, jeez. What's going on? Are you okay? The dog's barking. I'm done at the dog park. Yeah, well, it's a lockdown. Catherine's in the middle of a dog attack right now.

We'll leave you to it, Catherine. Hey, you have a great day, all right? Thank you. The hits. The big news this morning that everyone's talking about. It's all over the media. The jury has found Amber Heard did not defame Johnny Depp. He's been awarded $15 million in damages.

But she has also won sort of council. She's got $2 million in damages back. So it's all a wee bit confusing. And we're joined now by our Hollywood insider. He has all the filth on Hollywood. He was not washing their hands. He wasn't changing their bedsheets, that sort of stuff. His name

is Andy. How are you? You know, we're talking so much I feel like we should be dating at this point. I know. We know all your hobbies and interests, which is celebrity scandal and gossip. And you know that we're just desperate radio hosts. So big news this morning. Obviously, it's right around the world.

The Johnny Depp Amber Heard defamation trial. It's been in the media for probably the last six or seven weeks. So he has won, but she's also won a little bit as well. What's going on? I always thought that Johnny would lose, and I'm not alone in that. And it's not about the personalities or anything like that. It's just basically about the elements that you need to prove defamation, and I don't think that he proved them. That being said, you know, a jury said, no, I think that he did prove them. One of the issues that Amber's legal team did not do a very good job on at all is they got so caught up in the whole cult of personality. Let's talk about

the drug. Let's talk about the drinking. Let's talk about the drinking. Let's talk about how much money he spends on this stuff. Let's bring in all of these people, all these people. And they never focused on just the elements. And just to say, look, if he ever touched her in a violent way, he loses. And that's all they really needed to prove. And they already had a court case. They already had the UK. They had Johnny Depp sue the Sun. It wasn't Amber. And so he sued the Sun and lost. One of the other things that we can take from this is Amber Heard was sued because of an op-ed,

an editorial that was published in the Washington Post. He wasn't suing the Washington Post, though. He didn't sue the Washington Post. And the reason he didn't sue the Washington Post was because they have bottomless pits of money because it's owned by Jeff Bezos. So he knows that he would have no chance. So let's go ahead and we'll just sue Amber. We'll totally ignore the fact that it is, you know, the Washington Post. Interesting, isn't it?

So how much would they have both spent on legal fees? It seems like it would be obscene. It would be millions, wouldn't it? So how much would they have both spent on legal fees? It seems like it would be obscene. It would be millions, wouldn't it? Because it's been going on for weeks and then all preparation time for how to hit a team of lawyers. Yeah, I mean, you're talking five weeks of trial. I would imagine that whatever money was won was also

what was spent on legal fees. And Johnny won. He didn't get everything he asked for. He got $10 million in compensatory and $5 million punitive. And He got $10 million in compensatory and $5 million in punitive and Amber Heard got $2 million in compensatory and zero in punitive. It will be appealed. If you're Johnny Depp,

I wouldn't count on the fact that you're going to get that money. So, okay, so we have been hearing about it for the last six weeks. As I say, I feel for everyone involved. There's no real winners here because you just feel like all these people have had their dirt exposed to the world

but now it's going to carry on, you're saying. So it won't be the last we'll hear about it. It's not. I think Johnny wanted the publicity and he wanted hey, if I'm going to be down, then I'm going to take Amber down with me. And like I said, if you go back and you look at when

they were together, Amber's trying to get him to drink, Amber's being horrible, Amber's doing this. And she was. But that that has nothing to do with the fact that she still shouldn't have lost this case because all she had to do was prove that one time, just once, that he did something that could be called domestic violence. You know, it didn't have to be beating her or anything. It just had to be something. Will Johnny get his career back after this, you reckon, Johnny Depp? He's got some offers and things like that, but will he ever get

the big headlining movie again? Do you want him out there? You could say, oh, well, look at all the fans he has. Look at all the fans that were willing to pay $10,000 to sit in the courtroom and stuff. Of course, they're going to go out and they're going to buy his, but his last movies haven't done well.

Well, Ante, thank you so much for your time this morning, and we'll look forward to catching up with you next week when I'm sure there'll be more things going on in Hollywood just like this. All right, I'll talk to you guys. You guys have a great weekend. Jono and Ben, breakfast on the hits. There's a lot of talk this week about the Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, going to catch up with Joe Biden, Sleepy Joe, as he's called, in the White House.

Grandad Joe. Looks like she was visiting her grandad at the Ryman, didn't she? Yes, it does. Oh, thanks for popping over, darling. It's all right, grandad, how you been? And you know she's a busy lady, only sees him once a year. Yeah, exactly. There's been a lot of talk also about our plane breaking down, the Air Force 757,

and we thought we'd do a little bit of online political satirical comedy, didn't we, Ben? We thought we'd put an ad up on Trade Me of Jacinda's broken down plane. Like a fake ad for the plane that quite clearly we don't own, but people have gone and bidded on it, and it's made us nervous. It's making us all very nervous. Currently the top bid on Trade Me for our plane is, it's a billion dollars.

I'm hoping that person doesn't, it's not like Elon Musk bidding on it or anything. I was like, I really want that. I could fly that to space. Yeah. So yeah, we're in a situation, apparently if the deal goes through, we then owe 3% of whatever we make to Trade Me.

Apparently. So 3% of a billion dollars. But I don't know if the deal's going to go. Anyway. It might fall through. The deal might fall through. But the major issue is we don't have look at it. It might fall through. The deal might fall through. But the major issue is we don't have a plane.

That's business, baby. Deals do fall through. Don't they? You know, that's what happens. We hear that from the sales team all the time. Don't worry. Deals fall through.

So hopefully this will... I hope this falls through because if it doesn't, we're going to be in for a lot of money. Now, our plane, not quite as good as you were researching

earlier today. Air Force One, where the President, United States President travels in. How many, like, phones? They've got 85 telephones, Air Force One, where the United States president travels in, how many phones? They've got 85 telephones on Air Force One. There's three levels.

Three levels. 85 telephones, conference room, master bedroom, gymnasium on the plane. So Joe Biden can go in there and push some tin around or do some weights? He'd be doing those sort of very slow exercises on the stepper with the arms you know yeah and also there's another

there's another plane Air Force Two so the vice president and the president never fly on the same plane so Kamala will go on Air Force Two problem is

you can drink like nobody's business on Air Force One but Air Force Two dry plane really they only serve her water perks of being the president I guess she should count herself lucky Jacinda's plane one, but Air Force two, dry plane. Really? They only serve her water.

Perks of being the president, I guess. She should count herself lucky. Jacinda's plane, they give her a parachute and they all have to see her single oxygen mask. They're like, good luck with that one. Well, that is our show. Thank you so much for tuning in. Tomorrow, we want to pitch an idea to management after the show that could involve you guys winning a whole lot of Green Queens, because it's

Queen's birthday weekend. Could be winning $20 each caller, but we'll see how the meeting goes. Yeah, we'll catch you tomorrow from six. Have a great day. We'll see you then. The Hits. For more podcasts from The Hits Network,
