Fits with the Jono and Ben podcast. Welcome, it's the podcast, Jono and Ben, 7th of July. Isn't that tax day? Isn't tax day? Leanne, you own this cafe, Lambretta's. No one wants to start talking about tax stuff. Is it tax day? I thought 7th of July. Not for me.

Not for me either, I never pay it. Hey, thank you so much for having us here today. It's been a lot of fun in Nelson. You're welcome, it's been a bit chaotic. Compared to your other Wednesday, what's today? Thursday mornings, how did today stack up? Early. Early.

I don't know how you guys get up so early every day. Yeah, we got Rhys, your husband, up early. He said, I said 5.30. We were here at 5. Rhys was like, I stipulated 5.30. We rang him saying, where are you? And he said, I told you, 5.30. He's like, I'm naked.

I've just got out of the shower. I'll be there in eight minutes. And he was. He was here in eight minutes. Came in around the corner. Hey, it's an awesome place. It's really, really cool. How long have you guys been here?

This October will be 23 years. Wow. Gee whiz. Yeah. Now, Lambretta. I'm assuming it's the name of a popular Italian scooter. Yes. The scooter's on the wall with Lambretta's on it assuming it's the name of a popular Italian scooter. Yes, it is. The scooter's on the wall with Lambretta's on it.

Yeah, it's very cool. And so have you got Italian heritage? No, no. Some people think I have, but no, we haven't actually. No, just some of our original partners are into motorbikes. And that's how you got into it? And we wanted something to suit the theme of the building, the Art Deco theme and sort of retro and something kind of new and different, you know.

That's cool. Yeah. That's cool. Who can do the best Italian accent? Not me. No, don't do this. It's 2020. Ciao.

Buongiorno. Ciao, Bella. Hey, hey, hey. Oh, God. Apologies for anyone listening from Italy right now if you're catching up with the podcast. I'll get John from across the road. He'll be good at it.

Oh, John actually, John's got a pizza place. John is actually Italian. Now tell us, tell us something about Nelson, you know, what are the dirty dark secrets that they're not letting out

into the other parts of New Zealand? The winters here are amazing and everyone should come here. We learned this morning it was the centre, centre of New Zealand in Nelson, the actual middle of New Zealand.

Yeah, good morning walk. Yeah. Oh, so can you walk to the place that is the centre of New Zealand? Yes, you could do it. Or take a scooter, take one off the New Zealand. Good morning walk. So can you walk to the place that is the centre of New Zealand? Yes, you could do it. Take a scooter? Take one off the wall and take it?

I'd be quite nervous if I was the person fishing the scooters up on the wall because they're sitting above tables and stuff. But so far, so good? So far, yes. They haven't fallen out? I know it was an engineer-type person that did that and that's a solid concrete wall that they were nailed into.

Yes, exactly. You're not getting up there with your 3M hooks. Your bloody Velcro hooks. Which side's the wall side? Which side's the scooter side? Now across the road from here in Nelson, your Lambretta's Cafe, is $2 Everything. There's a shop called Everything's $2.

Have you not got one of those up north? Well, it started off as a $2 store and now it's the $1,, two, three, and more store. Oh, no, we don't have that. It's just a store. Yeah, I think it's, you know, the cost of living, inflation. They've just tacked more onto the end of it. But this has remained steadily $2.

It has, actually. You can get your batteries there. So everything is $2. And everything you need, yeah, $2. The shop sees it. Little gift boxes. I do want to go in there and go, how much for this? What about this? And what about this? You actually get some things for $1 on the counter. Oh sees it. Little gift boxes. I do want to go in there and go, how much for this? What about this?

And what about this? Yeah, you get some things for $1 on the counter. Oh, wow. So you're right. So not everything is $2. It's $2 or less. What's the best thing you bought from the everything is $2 shop? Oh, well, batteries is where we go to, you know, because it's across the road.

Cheap batteries. Cheap batteries. Cheap batteries. Stock up. Packs off. Packs off. So you get a pack. It's not just one battery.

It's a pack of batteries. How many batteries are we talking there, Leigh? Oh, I don't know. Half a dozen? Yeah, they don't last long, though, to be fair. Oh, but they're too bad. They're too bad. I mean, I don't know.

We're not expecting ever-ready jobs here, are we? No, no. Thank you for having us today. It's been a lot of fun hanging out in your wonderful cafe, giving away free coffee. Lots of people seem very happy with their bucket hats and $20 as well. You're wearing one now, which is great. Thank you for committing to that. I made you put on a child's bucket hat.

Now, I have one quick question, quick cafe-related question. Scrambled eggs. They're always so magnificent in a cafe setting. But when I try and replicate them at home, they're not even coming near. What am I doing wrong? It's got to have butter in there. We don't put cream, but you don't need to. But, yeah, lots of eggs.

Lots of eggs, lots of butter. Butter in your pan. Nice pan, non-stick pan. Yeah, right. Real quick. It doesn't take long to do them. No. No, you guys do a good egg here.

Yeah. Yeah. Ben Boyce, you got any cafe questions? Or are you trying to wrap this up? No, no. You're looking at me like, why are you still talking? Well, we've got a podcast to get into, but that's fine. And I don't have any pressing questions right now, but hey, if I come back, I'll pop back at the end of the podcast if we do. I've got another talking? Well, we've got a podcast to get into, but that's fine. And I don't have any pressing questions right now,

but, hey, if I come back, I'll pop back at the end of the podcast if we don't. I've got another one. Oh, God, Edith. Most amount of coffees you've made in a day. Oh, okay. We have, see that board there? We have a record written on the back there. Oh, go and have a check.

A record of what? How many coffees they've made. Yeah, like the big days, you know, the big days. Oh, today, is today a big day? A big day big days. Oh, today is a day, a big day? A big day? No, no, no. Today's not a big day. It's a big day for us.

It's just a busy day. I'm trying to tune this into a big day, mate. It was a big day for us. It's not a big day for the end. All right. Hey, Liam, thank you very much. Enjoy the podcast. It's a real fun one.

Out of Nelson today. Have a listen. Okay. Your essential listening for non-essential banter. Jono and Ben on the hits. A $20 tour on a mission to give $20 to a lady called Karen who we promised in a prize

fashion on Queen's birthday weekend she never received the $20. So we're heading to Christchurch to drop it to her in person along the way, handing out all sorts of money. Yo. Sorry. What happened there?

I don't know. You started talking and then I went, oh, oh, oh. And then you went, oh, oh, oh. You made that really awkward. Okay, you go, you go. A confident radio show, that's what you've turned into this morning. But it's been a lot of fun on our venture, handing out all sorts of money and oh, oh, oh.

Here we go. We've got an allocated budget. We've blown it already. We're going to get more money out today A family of four They walked out of there with $80 They fleeced us Yesterday we met a legend, Lynn

Who's worked at the same KFC in Rotorua 43 years No walking through the drive-thru policy What about an electric scooter? No Bicycle? No A moped?

No In Macedon. We're here at the Lone Star with Ben on the Wall of Legends. Where's your bar set for legend? Bar isn't that high. Travelling through the heart. We went and saw Cathy. I'd say New Zealand's biggest Elvis Presley fan.

The bedroom. The shrine to Elvis. Quite pashy, wasn't he? That's part of being a celeb, you know. It's like you're telling my wife. Producer Bee Humps, he's become like Colonel Parker. He's merging with us, he's pumping us full of all sorts of narcotics. Get to work, mate.

I've been banished to the back of the caravan. There's a bathroom on there. The rule was like, let's not use it because we're going to have to clean it up. Why have a toilet on there if the toilet's not to be used? It's exhilarating at 100km an hour. Tell you what. Give away too much money. Too much money? Do I say? I've said it on record

many times. Yeah, I grossly overestimated the popularity of giving away money. Yeah, so the $20 tour has made its way to Nelson. We're at Lambretta's Cafe. Scoot on down and see us this morning. We're going to spin the wheel. We have got more money to give away. We've got free coffee to give away.

Free cash. Free coffee, free cash. Come on down to Lambretta's. It has been a wonderful journey, though, of highs and lows, hasn't it been? And yesterday, speaking of highs and lows,

being on the Blue Bridge Ferry across the Cook Strait. Yeah. I didn't realise I was a seasick person, but I was getting quite queasy when it was going up and down, you know. Upstairs, but then you found out that we got given a bunk room, and, geez, you enjoyed it. You just slept the whole time.

Sleepy Jono was in his element, wasn't he? He got to sleep the whole time. I think I slept for two and a half hours. It was a wonderful sleep on the Blue Bridge. And then I got up, and then I didn't realize there was a shower and a lavatory. You can shower on the Cook Strait. Yeah. In the Blue Bridge.

And, geez, have a listen to the suction power of this loo. There's a shower and a lavatory. You can shower on the Cook Strait. Yeah. In the Bluebridge Ferry. And, jeez, have a listen to the suction power of this loo. Have a listen. Suck you into next year, mate. Suck you into another dimension. It's like more power than a plane toilet. Yeah, it's pretty incredible. I don't know where it all goes.

I'm pretty sure we just dump it in the ocean. No, no, the Bluebirds Cook Strait Ferry, a lot of fun. Beautiful scenery travelling along the Cook Strait in that. I wouldn't know. I was asleep the whole time. Yeah, true. On the $20 tour, we're in Nelson Lombreda's Cafe this morning, come down for a free coffee, spin the $20 wheel,

you can win $20 and play five words as well. But we're sitting on the regulars table, apparently, and it's used every day by a couple of regulars after nine o'clock. Uh-oh. It's going to get awkward. Yeah. A couple of Aucklanders coming here with their big ideas and they're snatching away our table.

I was a bit worried about that. Now, I am going to put, and I think Producer B-Hump should agree, that Ben Boyce has to be the one to have that conversation. Don't, please don't make me. And convince him that we need to stay here. Please don't make me do that. Hey, let's look at some news that's happening in new zealand and around the world scrolling through your feed this is up here with the greatest news offerings news hub porn hub all the hubs ben boys

what's happening uh well there's a new buzz lightyear film uh in cinemas at the moment now i love that i love toy story i've got a toy story backpacker i'm proud of my backpacker we're around everywhere. I love that franchise. But Tom Hanks, Tom Hanks, of course, was Woody, the voice of Woody in the Toy Story movies. Does he feature in the new Buzz Lightyear? No, so this is the thing.

So Tim Allen was Buzz Lightyear, the comedian Tim Allen in all the Toy Story movies, but he's obviously not used in the new Buzz Lightyear movie. Who's the new Buzz Lightyear? So it's kind of Chris Evans, Captain America. Is he? He's the voice of it. So it's kind of like, it's almost like it's notyear? So it's kind of Chris Evans, Captain America. Is he? He's the voice of it. So it's kind of like, it's almost like it's not related, but it is kind of related.

They got rid of the boomers. Yes. Sacked the boomers for some new young ones. And I read a clickbait headline. It was like Tom Hanks lashes out over casting, you know, not using Tim Allen. Was it a lashing? No, he just said he doesn't understand. He's like, I don't understand why Tim Allen wasn't asked to voice Buzz Lightyear in the new film.

Lashing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It is a champagne lashing. And Tim Allen said, well, I've got nothing to do with it. It's a whole new team. It really has nothing to do with me. But he did say it was a wonderful story as well. So good on him for saying that.

He's like, I'm rich enough. Yeah. I'll be fine. Don't worry about me, Tim Allen. Now, what did you think of the Buzz Lightyear movie? Out of five? I enjoyed it. I'll give it four Space Rangers worry about me, Tim Allen. Now, what did you think of the Buzz Lightyear movie? Out of five. I enjoyed it. I'll give it four Space Rangers out of five.

You're such a... What? Because you just want to go to the next Disney Pixar premiere. Yeah, I enjoyed it. It made me a bit emotional, because as I said before, every time he leaves, he tries to leave the planet. He loses years off his life. And he comes back, and three or four years have passed,

ten years have passed, and everyone's getting older and older and everyone's passing away. That's quite an emotional thing as he stayed the same age. Did you take a child to the movie with you? Yeah, I did. I took two children. Just a bit of an insurance policy there. Otherwise I was like, oh, this is a bit weird.

And Prince William, he's at the tennis over there. Wimbledon's obviously taking place in the UK and he was caught on camera potentially dropping an F-bomb. Yeah, so at one point of the match, he was watching the British number one, Cameron Norrie, play in the quarterfinal. At one point of the match, people reckon they can see him mouthing, no, no, no, F, from Prince William. And it's gone viral online.

A lot of people saying good on him if he did say it. As opposed to an umpire decision or something? Yeah, I think so. Just getting quite involved in the match. Very passionate. Yeah. Oh, good on him. I did say it. As opposed to an umpire decision or something? Yeah, I think so. Just getting quite involved in the match. Very passionate. Oh, good on him! I think it's quite nice to get involved. You've got to back your players, don't you, mate? It's a lot better than when his dad calls his mum

mummy, you know. Rather than have him swearing than say mummy. In terms of royal scandals, on the scale of mummy to Prince Andrew, whatever he got up to, this is mine. Yeah, you're right. He potentially could have said a swear word, but maybe not. Mature, responsible, and considerate. Three words we sadly can't use here.

Jono and Ben on the hits. We're travelling around the country in a camper van on the $20 tour. So this morning we're in Lambretta's Cafe, Hardy Street, Nelson. Come down, you can get free coffee, free hot chocolate this morning until 9 o'clock, and you can spin our $20 wheel, win some cash, $20 notes. Well, you can win some $20 notes, but I'm very, very worried how much money we are burning,

we're spending on this trip. There was a daily budget, and it's got somewhat out of hand. I have been reveling in the joy that it brings to people's faces when I hand them over $20. And, hey, I'm a soulless radio announcer. That's all we want. We want affirmation from strangers, Ben. You know, handing over $20, people like you.

We were walking out of the cafe yesterday. Someone walked past and said, legends. That's what you get, legends, when you give away free coffee and free cash. Who knew? That's all it would take to be called a legend. But we had a system. We've got a system with the wheel. You spin the wheel.

If it lands on the $20 mark, you get the $20. That's what we agreed on yesterday. And then you're just frivolously giving away money to people just for spinning the wheel, just for turning up. Just so I can be called a legend by a guy in a high-vis vest. Now, earlier this morning, you were like, well, we must be fine for the budget. Seriously, guys.

And Producer Beh you were like, well, we must be fine for the budget, seriously, guys. And producer Behumps was like... Well, I'm currently borrowing off Thursday to pay for Wednesday. You know, I understand now how Ponzi schemes get a little bit out of hand. We are in the hole financially. Yesterday's coffee bill. Look at the hits breakfast on Instagram. The receipt for the bills of the coffee. I've never seen a receipt like it.

It's bigger than me. Yeah, it's taller than me. It was a long receipt. I'll give you coffee. I've never seen a receipt like it. It's bigger than me. Yeah, it's taller than me. It was a long receipt. I'll give you that. It was a big receipt. Wild. Wild. This is all on you.

Yeah. No, it's not all on me. We're all on this tour together. We had a system together. You pitted on me. Anyway, I met a wonderful guy on the Bluebridge Ferry. He had a gold tooth and a bit of a weird top hat sort of thing. He said he'll lend us some money. He's a reputable

financial organisation. Even on our social media, under that photo of us with the long receipt, it says thanks for that yesterday guys. Especially to Jono who hand delivered me a $29 note when I was unlucky on the wheel with a spin. See, this is the word getting out there. You don't even have

to spin. Why do we bring a word getting out there. You don't even have to spin them. Why do we bring a wheel? Why don't we bring a wheel? The problem is we've got to have $20 to give to Karen. That's the whole reason for the journey. Karen, we gave away a $20 note to Queen's birthday weekend. Green

Queen, she never received that $20. So that's why we are doing this and we just need to have one left. Will we? I don't know. Ironically we'll probably be surviving on one $20 note between now and then. Well let's give Karen a call in just a few moments and hopefully she hasn't heard too much about the trip

and that we've been spending a lot of money. What you want to do is you want to keep up a good brave facade. You know, even when the Empire's crumbling down, Ben, we keep up confidence positivity, okay? We talk to Karen with confidence. The very scary $20 Karen. Hopefully, we'll join us next. If you're here for

advice on life, you're in big trouble. Jono and Ben on the hits. We're on the $20 tour. We're in Nelson Lombreda's Cafe on Hardy Street. It's a really cool retro cafe we're in this morning. Yeah, it's got a bit of an Italian vibe to it, Ben, boys. Scooters, lots of scooters around. They say scoot on down and you can see in this morning. Yeah, it's got a bit of an Italian vibe to it, Ben Boyce. Scooters, lots of scooters around.

They say scoot on down and you can see us this morning. Grab a free coffee, win some cash, spin the wheel, and we've got five words we're going to be playing in the cafe this morning for someone to win potentially $5,000. I feel like Nelson wouldn't wake up until about 8 o'clock. Yeah. As a city. Nothing's getting done before 8 o'clock in Nelson.

Now, Ben's a bit worried that we've given away too much cash. We're on a journey to drop $20. We owe Karen $20. We have given away. We have. We've given away way too much money. Along the way, we've been handing out $20 notes, and we just want to call Karen just to, you know, keep up appearances,

pretend everything's fine. Hopefully she hasn't heard any of the $20 talk. So we'll go through now, if we can, Joel, please. Morning, Karen speaking. Kazza, Jazza and Bezza. Kazza, yeah. I haven't heard that one for a long time. Oh, well, Karen, we're on our way.

We're getting closer to see you. We're in the South Island now. Oh, you're in Nelson. Yeah. Yeah, we're heading on our way. We're all trying, you know, we're trying to get pay our debt by the end of the week. Give you the $20 that we owe you. Yeah, well, you know, I've been listening and you've

been giving a hell of a lot of money away. You better make sure when you get to Christchurch, you've got my $20. That's the most important $20 of them all. Now, Karen, we are very mindful that the core purpose of this journey is to drop

you $20. Are you mindful? Jono gets swept up in the excitement of giving away money. He's been frivolously giving away money the whole way. I'm worried, Karen. I'm worried we're not going to have $20. I was getting worried too, so that I thought, no, they're not that stupid. Surely, after this

big long trip they will be bringing my 20 lousy dollars I'm keeping a special 29 note in my pocket and it's not leaving my pocket I might buy one of those things and put the 20 dollar note

in it, break case of emergency break lous in case of emergency. Break glass in case of emergency. Because you know it's 20 wax each too if we don't give you the money. I know. And that's a lot more 20 wax energy I have to use up. I was just going to say, do you have the

do you have it in you to give us 40 wax total? Yeah. Yeah, I reckon you've got five good ones in you. Yeah, right. I reckon you've got five good ones in you. Yeah. Absolutely. I will never fail to deliver. Now, where do you whack exactly?

We don't need to. It doesn't matter about that. It's not going to happen to us. Well, you just cover your head with your hands and I do the rest. All right. We're making our way. We need to get there by the end

of the week and give you the $20. I'm hoping we can deliver for you, Karen. Oh, no, no hoping about it.

I know you'll deliver. Oh, she says it's in a threatening tone. I will deliver. We pay f***ing

wax each. Do you like the each part? I don't like any of it, really. All right, let's hang up on Karen. Okay, yeah, Karen, yeah, she scares me. And hopefully we'll see her when we head to Christchurch later today and we'll give her that money.

So tomorrow our debts will be settled. That hits. This is the Jon Jonah and Ben podcast. Spilling the tea on Hollywood's A-listers. Kardashians. I have met every single one. Exposing scandals. She's not a good person, but either is he.

Digging the dirt. Is she a diva? Yep. And finding out what's going on behind the scenes. Yelling at cast members. Yes. It was a script. No.

His identity is a secret. But his stories have been proven right time and time again. This is NT. the scenes. He's here from the bright lights of Hollywood. Come on in, Enti. How are you? I'm well. How are you? Hey, Thor, Love and Thunder, being released here, directed by Taika, obviously. We are fizzing for it down under. Is it making an impact in the States? Is it blowing up the box office, as they say? No, I mean, I think it will. I think it comes out here on the 8th, so Friday. Right now it's Minions is kind of ruling the world for a week. And then, yeah, I imagine that Thor will break all kinds of records.

It's one of the few that got the fourth movie, right? So that's pretty rare in the Marvel world. So, I mean, Natalie Portman told a great story about her and Chris Hemsworth and how he would go pick up the kids at school and have to hide behind poles and stuff. And Natalie, who was picking up her kids at school, would, you know, just walk up in a hat and nobody would recognize her, which, you know, I think I'd be more likely to recognize Natalie than Chris. But, you know, that's just me. Well, especially if you're like, who's that weird guy hiding behind the power pole? Outside of school.

It's not a great look. Outside of school, right? Even if you're Chris Emsworth. Now, Tom Cruise, 60 years old this week. We talked a lot about Tom Cruise with you over the last few weeks. So we wanted to know the best birthday party or the best party that you've ever been to. Obviously, Tom Cruise would have been celebrating. What's the best party you've been to over the years?

I got to go to the Vanity Fair Oscar party once. So, I mean, that was probably the biggest. That was probably the best i've always wanted to go to the jay-z grammy brunch party oh he does a brunch yeah he's got a brunch oh lovely eggs benedict every year yeah but i mean everybody who goes to the grammys basically goes to this party and it's the party that i've always wanted to go to and have not had the opportunity to attend yeah right so when you're talking about the vanity fair oscar party uh are all the big bangers there and it's a party that I've always wanted to go to and have not had the opportunity to attend. Yeah, right.

So when you're talking about the Vanity Fair Oscar party, are all the big bangers there? All the big actors? You're wandering around and you're like, oh, there's Denzel Washington or there's Will Smith or whatever? Yeah, it's kind of surreal. It's, you know, you want to just, you're trying to keep your head on a swivel but not like, oh my gosh, look at theirs.

Oh, look at theirs. There's all, look, there's there. You know, just over and over and over again in in hollywood you get used to oh look over there that's so and so right i mean it happens every day every other day basis if you're out enough you just say oh there's somebody but when you're at the you know the vanity fair oscar party you can't even move without seeing somebody that you go, oh, there's so-and-so, so-and-so, so-and-so. It's a very strange experience. What's the etiquette? Like, if you go to a party like that, are you allowed to go up and to talk to a celebrity?

Or does it depend on the celebrity? Well, I think at a party like that, everything's fair game. You just go and you talk. You do what you want. And I've never really subscribed to the whole don't look in somebody's eyes and don't talk to them. What are you? You know, you go to the bathroom the same way I do.

You know, come on now. I was just going to say, celebrities, they go to the bathroom as well. Did you bump into any actors in the bathroom? Yeah. You know, not that I recall. I only went to the bathroom, I think, one time that day, that night. And I don't recall that there was a celebrity in there.

They have in America at some places. One place I went to, there was a guy waiting in the bathroom offering cologne. He's like, what's a cologne? And you have to give him a tip if you want to spray some cologne to go back out. Is that not a normal thing in New Zealand? Do you guys never have that? We don't have cologne sprayers in our bathrooms. We usually just got a homeless guy huffing on glue. There is, I don't have cologne sprayers in our bathrooms. We usually just got a homeless guy huffing on glue.

There is, I don't know, I haven't seen it since the pandemic. But yes, prior to the pandemic, there were a couple of places that did have them. And it's a very odd thing, right, to have somebody standing in the bathroom waiting for you to finish going to the bathroom. And then they sell cigarettes for like a dollar. And, you know, they have the cologne and stuff. And you're like, well, I guess I have to tip. But it's just a strange thing. And I have not seen it since the pandemic.

It's always made me very uncomfortable. Yeah, well, I mean, you're not going to fully relax, are you? When you know there's some guy there standing with a cigarette and cologne. I've wondered if they're there because it's generally if they're there to keep people from having sex in the bathroom or if they're there to keep people from doing other things in the bathroom. And if one of the guys out here, let me give you a tip, you know, let me do this for you. Because I don't need somebody to hand me a towel in a bathroom. No, you're dead right.

And they'll mop up the mess with a bit of cologne, a bit of Sauvage or something. Hey, Enty, great to catch up, my friend. You look after yourself over there in America. Hey, you guys have fun on your trips. Voted most likely not to be voted for anything. Jono and Ben on the hits. We're on the $20 tour. We're in Nelson this morning.

Come down and see us at Lombreda's Cafe, Hardy Street. Grab a free coffee, spin the $20 wheel. There's a Nelson this morning. Come down and see us at Lombreda's Cafe, Hardy Street. Grab a free coffee. Spin the $20 wheel. There's a couple of poor hits people outside with the $20 wheel. And, Jesus, Cole, you walk out there and you can see your breath. Yeah. Why are you making them sit out there, Producer B, Hunts? Colonel Tom Parker.

Mate, we've got to work hard. We've got to work hard. He's got us on the uppers this morning. But the thing is, there's no one out there at the moment. Nelson doesn't wake up till 8 o'clock. You two stand out here in the freezing minus 2 degree temperature. And they're like, they're too polite to say no. Lovely, lovely what they're doing this morning.

Hey, yesterday we passed through Wellington. And we went to the Beehive and we thought we'd check out the Beehive. It's obviously been in the news a lot lately. Oh yeah, this is post-protest. How are the lawns recouping? Location outside Parliament. Mood? Happy. Ben? Handsome?

What's going on? Well, we pulled up to Parliament here in Wellington in a camper van. And I reckon it's probably not the place to turn up looking like you're going camping. No, Beehive says, oh, where are we going to park? I was like, mate, for three weeks, people just parked their cars in the middle of the road and no one had a problem with it, as far as I knew. Now, we're here at Parliament. We're not camping.

We're just here to have a quick look. Tell you what, I talked about this the other day. How good is the grass? Yeah, Trevor Mallard, you know, say what you want about him, but he knows how to tend to a lawn that's been protested on for about a month. Him and his sprinkler system have just, the grass has bounced back

magnificently. It's really good. Give us a pitch report, Evie. Oh, it's really good. A lot of green, a green tinge. I imagine you get a bit

of movement off the pitch today. A bit of a swing in the air as well. I'd probably bowl first if I won the toss and it was cricket. Not a weed in place as well. Not one weed on here.

Yeah. Must be all the bloody faeces that they left. Don't say that. The protesters left. Don't say, every time you say that we get texts in going, they weren't rolling around in there. And they weren't. But you just love saying it to wind people up. Well it's given some great sustenance to the soil

and the grass is just luscious green. You wouldn't even know what went on here. No you wouldn't. You know, it wouldn't know what side you took on that. It was just sad to have all that happening in New Zealand here. So I'm glad it's all back to a happier place. Yeah, we're... Runs good.

We'll go talk to these lovely people. Oh, there you go. Hello. How are you? Good. We're from the radio. What's that? I knew that was a bad idea.

You thought about it. You were confident. It was good, yeah. Yeah, Whittaker's do geek. I love it when they bring out the limited edition range, but the problem, you know, they did the hundreds and thousands. That's right. The Whittaker's hundreds, but I overdosed on it.

Did you? Oh, I went wild. I went so to the point where I can't have another hundreds and thousands of chocolate bar. It was too much. Hey, that's great, Ashley. And just for being on the air, we're on the $20 tour. Are you going to get 20 bangers? Oh, awesome.

It makes us feel good. What are your three chocolate bars that you want to save if the rest had to go? A Lindt chocolate, a Milo bar, and then a fast forward bar. Wow. You've come in from left field here. Lindt's a beautiful chocolate. Don't get me. That's great.

Then you've got the Milo bar. I've never tried a Milo bar. I didn't know it was such a thing. Yeah, so I'm from South Africa, so we add Milo bars there, which is amazing. And then fast forward bars. It looks like a crunchy,

but it's just gooey, blue goodness inside. Blue chocolate bar. You're wild in South Africa. Yeah, your whole tongue will be blue. Oh, wow. that sounds interesting. Blue tongue, you look like a cast member of Avatar. Or you've been kissing one.

Exactly. That's incredible. Thank you. Now, you've saved three chocolate bars. You've got to save three family members. Who are they going to be? Name them. That's for another day.

That's on World Family Day. We'll be doing that one. Scrolling through your feed he may never have won any journalism awards but he did win a player of the day trophy once

Ben Boyce what's happening in the news yeah but I feel like sometimes you only win that because they like to share that round yeah and usually it's handed to the person

who had the most shocking game yeah I got given it as a kid and I was like oh I clearly wasn't player of the day but because I hadn't won it before

I get this award it's just on a rotation policy. Now, school holidays. Starting, obviously, from tomorrow, last day of school for the term. And I was reading this morning, 120,000 travellers are set to depart on international flights out of Auckland during the July school holidays. Wow-wee. It's going to be the busiest period at the airport since 2019.

50% more people travelling than the April school holiday. So it's cool to see things picking up. Yeah, it'll be great. The planes will become COVID capsules. No, don't, don't. No one needs to do that. No one needs to think about that. Stop pretending it's not there.

Mate, we're moving on. The world's moving on. Australia is the most popular destination this school holiday is for Kiwis, followed by Fiji and the US. And if you're travelling around the country, Christchurch, Wellington and Queenstown are the top destinations. And the airport, as said, if you are

heading out to the airport, things are going to take a bit longer, obviously, in this COVID world. So allow more time and don't expect every place, every food place to be open because they're running at about 50% capacity. Well, why don't they run at 100? Because we're just getting back to things. Because you're making comments about COVID

capsules and then people are getting scared about the truth. That's the thing. What I love though is the Prime Minister is like, nah, we're not going to read. She's moved on. Love it, Jacinda. Great attitude. Just pretend it's not there. We're very excited about Thor, Love and Thunder in cinemas this week. Taika Waititi's brand new movie and he was talking

in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine about how Natalie Portman is obviously back in Thor, the movies, and he was talking to her about what he was doing next. Now, he's moving on to the Star Wars franchise, and he forgot that she was actually in Star Wars. Have a listen.

And I said to Natalie, what are you up to next? And she goes, she said to me, what are you up to next? I said, I'm trying to work on a Star Wars thing. Have you ever wanted to be in a Star Wars movie? You did not say that, Dave. I forgot about those ones. I mean, you know, things slip your mind. What was her response to that?

She said, I've been in a Star Wars movie. He's a busy guy, Tiger White's Eddie, isn't he? He didn't even know she was in a star wars movie he's like i forgot about those ones as well yeah there's a lot of movies out there there's a lot of movie a lot of characters too in the star wars movies hey also ben if you don't mind me uh providing some news this morning yeah you know that song kate bush running from the what's she running from running up the hill she's running up a hill yeah getting some cardio in. That came back thanks to Stranger Things. We're playing it all the time.

Yeah. And I don't think I like it any more than when it was first released. You? Oh, no, it's growing on me now. It's growing on you. Yeah, it's cool. It's everywhere all over the charts. But now Stranger Things have got another song that is topping the iTunes charts.

It's knocked Lizzo off the number one spot, and it's this beauty. Master of Puppets by Metallica. So it's used that to show you the things, right? So the hits will now be playing Master of Puppets as much as we're playing Kate Bush. It seems only fair. I don't know if that's going to be quite the case.

Both songs have taken the same path to redemption. Who knows? It might be. If it's a hit, we'll case. Both songs have taken the same path to redemption. Who knows? It might be. If it's a hit, we'll play it here on The Hits. The Hits. The Jono and Ben podcast, available on iHeartRadio. Let's go. Jono and Ben.

Oh, it was great. And two soft radio announcers. Well, the thing is, I was like, I sat at the front for a lot of it with Bee Humps. Yeah, I saw some amazing views.

There was a cabin. We got a cabin with bunk beds. You pretty much slept. You had a wonderful sleep. You said it was a wonderful sleep in a cabin with bunk beds you pretty much slept you had a wonderful sleep you said it was a wonderful sleep in a bunk bed sleepy john and you've got some audio that you keep playing all morning of the toilet flushing have we got that audio around from your phone there and no it's not i don't just go recording any toilets. The thing that impressed me about this toilet was the suction power. And granted, there were beautiful picturesque views of the Cook Strait. I spoke to the captain.

I had a great chat. There was a whole lot of other stuff that happened. And I've just come back with the audio of a toilet. Yeah, so Bluebridge Cook Strait Ferry is a wonderful, wonderful experience. It's more than a toilet. It is. That should be their byline. The Bluebridge, it's more than a toilet.

So I wanted to know, because I know that you just go around with your phone and record audio for the radio. What other random stuff have you got in there, like the Blue Bridge Ferry toilet? What have you got on your phone? Have you got something you can play? Plug your phone in and let's see what else you can play. Let's go around. Well, actually, I went to the zoo. Now, have you been to the zoo lately?

Yeah, yeah. Magnificent stuff. They've got, you know, monkeys and baboons up on high wires. Oh, that's really cool. Over the top of you, right? Yeah, I mean, a monkey or a baboon from South America could unload on you at any stage. They fall, but don't, though.

They're very good, yeah. Yeah, but record us an audio of a baboon. We haven't played this. All right, well, let's play that. I did that thing with the throat. The throat blows up like a balloon. And that's a powerful noise, isn't it? It really goes, I know Bee Humps, you went to the zoo recently too, and you showed me a video of two parrots fornicating.

Don't we just love filming animals fornicating at the zoo and then showing people? But they've got no option. There's no privacy for them. They can't go and hide behind, they don't have a bedroom. They've just got to live their life out in front of us. They haven't got a bunk bed they can go on on the Blue Bridge, have they? Take a look, this is my

two parrots, look at him he's gone not me what else what else you got there what else on Jotto's phone is audio archives I have I walked into a dairy

On the way out of the motel this morning, a wonderful display of brochures in the foyer, wasn't there? A hundred brochures as far as the eye could see. So many brochures. I would say in the hundreds, wouldn't you? Yeah. And I picked one out of the Nelson City Guide. Okay.

And I'm going to read out some facts about Nelson, and this is the challenge I want to issue. If you think you can out-fact my fact with something about your town or New Zealand. Oh, so someone's just got to bring up 100 of the hits to say a fact, and if it impresses you, you'll give them $20. Okay, here's one. Nelson, the second oldest city in New Zealand, Ben. Yeah, I wouldn't have known that.

To be honest, looking through the brochure, it's just a lot of nearly oldest stuff. They're not quite third oldest college, second oldest primary school, fourth oldest rugby club. Not quite number one, but in the top five. Top five, top five, baby. Yeah, and Nelson Airport, the fourth busiest airport in New Zealand. But two that I did find amazing, scrolling through this brochure, Nelson is the dead centre of New Zealand, of Aotearoa.

Oh, I had heard that, yeah. Yeah, right in the middle. Apparently there's a hill somewhere. That's the middle of New Zealand. Yeah. Because you probably would think it was either Wellington or Picton, but no, no. Nelson.

No, shut your mouth. Yeah. Do you know, yeah, because it doesn't, um, farewell spit actually comes on top of Wellington. It kind of comes, yeah, you're right. So it's a Wellington, crazy. Yeah, all right. That's a good fact, that's a good fact.

You like that one? Yeah. Okay. Nelson has the Guinness World Record for the world's, wait for it, clearest water. They're not second, third, or fourth on that one, mate. Number one. They're first, world's clearest water. All right, so. I or fourth on that one, mate. Number one.

Why are you sleeping in motels? You have a caravan. It's colder than the caravan. Well, we're... It's cold. It's cold and we're soft radio announcers. We like a motel. And, you know, I think we've gained the respect of the caravan community. You know, they're waving at us as we're driving past them.

We're just not sleeping in it. No. So don't tell them that because then we'll lose all that respect uh but they've said imagine how many more 20 bills you'd have if you uh you know it's a very good point so we want to know a fact uh about your town or city can i get one my mom my mom actually text her yesterday the wonderful jenny bush and i don't know how wonderful you think she is after this a little bit of a gag from my mom she's in duntroon down south today and she sent through a photo.

How did I make that awkward? I don't know. I don't know. It's like, you get 20 bucks. Emma, we have mentioned this before,

is there always a giant cloud hanging over you that everyone in fielding has to be friendly? It's like, it's just this thing on your back the whole time. Oh, we've got to keep up

the friendliness. No, it's just, you have that smile on your face and everyone knows that it's alright to approach. Yeah, it's a town where everyone's

just weirdly smiling the whole time. Hey Emma, well done. Take that $20 and you go buy yourself something nice. Thank you. Glenn, you's a town where everyone's just weirdly smiling the whole time. I am a well done tell you, $20 and you go buy yourself something nice. Thank you. Glenn, you're on from Levin. Outfact us. What have you got?

Hey, how are you, man? I am from your local part of the world. I'm from Whakaorori in Hawaii. We're called Masterdom. We were there the other day. Yeah, we passed through Masterdom the other day, my hometown. That's a big part about Marston. We're passing

through it now. You live there, mate. Stop burning it. I love it. Do you have a fact about Marston? I'd love to hear one.

I do indeed. When Mr. Joseph Marston was about 1846 foot over that big Rimutaka Hill, he stopped in Growtown.

It became the first town of the country. And then Mar That became the first town of the country. And then Martin became the second town of the country. So our country is number two, like Nelson, I guess. Yep, Nelson. A lot of second and third places in Nelson. Interesting that he called you, obviously, Joseph Masters, and Masterton was after him.

But that was the second place he got to. He didn't name the first town. He was like, oh, maybe I like this one a little more than... There we go. That is a great fact, and that's $20 going out to you, buddy. Well done. Thank you. Thanks so much, Glenn. One last text to go out on.

A fact about Wellington. Okay, we'll do that. Jonathan and Benjamin. Here's a fact about Wellington that you might not know. Why did Miramar kill Bernie? Because he tried to Mount Victoria. All places, isn't it? Yeah, kill Bernie, Miramar, and yeah, Mount Victoria.

That's impressive. That's impressive. Did you make that up? No, it's not impressive. Why would I? Mate, my humour's far more sophisticated than that. I'm not going to just lowbrow Mount Victoria joke. You've got Jono and Ben.

Warning, this show contains Jono and or Ben. Jono and Ben on the hits. Jono and Ben wrapping up our show. We've had a lot of fun this morning. We've been to Nelson, the wonderful Lambretta's Cafe. You can scoot on down here any time. We gave away a lot of free coffee. Lots of people walked out of here very happy with their bucko hats and $20.

It's been a wonderful morning. Have you appreciated it, Nelson? Yep, they have. You can hear the joy in their voices. That was just Behance. Producer Behance with a smattering of ha ha ha. Like, you're on the team. You can give more applause than that.

Even he was like, woo! Tip is a frag. We're getting to the end of the $20 tour. We're going to head to Christchurch to give Karen her $20 back. You can come down and see us tomorrow. We're going to do the same thing all over again in Christchurch, Black and White Coffee Cartel, tomorrow, where we'll give away free coffees, free hot chocolates, spin the wheel again, win $20,

and someone can play for $5,000 as well. Now, we've been staying in a couple of motels along the way, Ben, and all of us have been collecting the amenities from the hotel rooms. So we can give some stuff away, you know, give away prizes. So we've each taken some stuff from the motel rooms. What's free and what's not free? I never know in those situations. I took out the iron. Is the iron okay?

We've got an iron to give away. I've got a 32-inch TV. But I'll hand over the hits if you want to win some of these amenities right now. We haven't got the irons. We've got conditioners, you've got shampoo, you've got tea and coffee, that sort of thing. Now, Joel, can we get someone on here because we can hand them out all these amenities. We have right now tissues, a shower cap, conditioner, shampoo. Shampoo with spirulina extracts, Ben.

That's great. Spirulina extracts. Mint. That's a great prize. I know I hunted the hits. Do you know what I did too? I thought it was a great hack. I bought a hot water bottle with me.

Now, I'm always a little scared of a hot water bottle that it might burst, but I bought it anyway. First night, and I left it in the bed of the hotel. And so we've got cold, it's got cell. I was like, the hot water bottle I left in the bed. Rookie mistake. So that's in the hotel somewhere, so someone can... Enough of your hot water bottles woes, mate. Let's go to the phone. 0800 the hits. Who's this on the amenity

hotline? Good morning, Joe. How are you, mate? It's Sue. Sue? Sue from Morrinsville? Yes. Our only listener, Sue. It's great to have you on, Sue. The most famous person to come out of Morrinsville, we understand. Yeah listener, Sue. It's great to have you on, Sue. The most famous person to come out of Morrinsville, we understand.

Yeah, I can't think of anyone else. Sue, you've got conditioner, you've got shampoo, you've got Lipton tea, tissues. Do you have a runny nose? Hayley does. Hayley's got a nose. She can use the tissues. Tea, coffee, salt, sugar. We've got it all here. And Sue,

a shower cap. Can you believe it? Oh, thanks. We've got it all here. And Sue, a shower cap. Can you believe it? Thanks, that sounds great. Let's chuck in $20 as well because we're on the $20 tour for you, right Sue? Thank you very much. Good on you, Sue. You're a Kiwi hero there in Morrinsville. Hey, well that's our show today.
