Jono and Ben, new to your mornings, friends of Skinny, New Zealand's most recommended telco. Happy, happy, happy, oh, oh. Just when you thought you couldn't get enough of Jono and Ben, you can have them anywhere, anytime. Welcome to the Jono and Ben podcast. Kia ora. I must front foot this podcast introduction, Ben. It's a more relaxed Jono and Ben when we do these. I've just put airwaves, airwaves chewing gum in my mouth and it's a menthol explosion. It's like a menthol volcano

going off inside my nostrils right now. It definitely helps clear the airwaves though, doesn't it? I see why they call it airwaves. It is an old person's chewing gum and I unashamedly eat airwaves. It actually keeps you awake. Oh, sorry. Here you go. No, sorry. I had nothing more to say. Oh, I feel like the Werther's original are actually really lovely, but they're very tarnished for the, oh, you're boom. They're delicious. They're actually really good. I haven't worn a wild pack.

Maybe it's a sign we're getting older. We're debating and defending. I was actually in the chase at the time, just about to go to bed. But I was like, oh, these are delicious. With your slippers on? Yeah. I do like slippers too now. Do you like slippers?

Yeah, I have gone into some slippers. I got some for something we did at work, and I'm like, oh, they're quite good to slip on into. I saw some at Countdown the other day, and I was like, oh, I could buy some, but they were definitely old man slippers. You know the ones, which are almost a slipper shoe? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

You're like, can you wear these outside? Does that defeat the purpose if you're just whipping out to do something? But yeah, they are lovely. You respect someone who is wearing slippers way out of their jurisdiction, don't you? It's like pushing a supermarket trolley three k's away from the supermarket. How did you end up here? Anyway, welcome to the program.

You had a nice weekend in Taupo. Yeah, I did actually. It was nice to go away. I've got audio here of you and Sienna doing a bungee swing. Oh yeah, the canyon swing there in Taupo I've never done it before, I always wanted to do it And we did it as a tandem Now warning too, there's a lot of energy here

A lot of energy being exuded This is Sienna afterwards She was buzzing Because obviously it was a nerve-wracking experience for an adult Let alone a kid And I imagine too a lot of sensations that she would have never felt before. Yeah, well, she's like, oh, my God, I'm sick. A rollercoaster of just new things.

Yeah. So you just did the canyon swing here in Taupo. How was that? Oh, it was really scary. So first of all, I was really shaking, and I was really scared. And then I didn't want to go in, and I didn't want to be late at the same time. And I was overthinking it, really. And then some other people did it.

They were like 10 and stuff. And then they did it. And then I got really, really scared. And then they said it wasn't that bad. And then we went on to the thing. And I was thinking of pulling out. I was thinking of like, nah, thank you. Bye bye.

And then I was thinking of walking off. It reminds me of that, is it Yes Man, the Jim Carrey movie where he has four Red Bulls or something? He's like, Red Bull. I love Red Bull. You know Red Bull? It's like her mouth can't move fast enough to what her brain is processing. So we had to slow her down.

I was thinking of it. No, thank you. Bye-bye. He made it sound like she's drunk. Thank you. Bye-bye. Anyway, I'm glad she did. It was a brave thing for her.

It was a really brave thing. I was really proud of her. I was obviously like, you don't have to do this. This is not one of these things. If you want to back out, of her. I was obviously like, you don't have to do this. This is not one of these things. If you don't want to, if you want to back out, that's fine. She's like, no, I want to do it. And yeah, she did. So it was pretty cool.

Sometimes when you are, you know, you're harnessed up or, you know, you've got a bungee cord strapped to your ankles. And they're like, you can back out, but it's a niggle to back out. You know, they've got to unstrap you. They've got to pull you back out. And then you're like, we're prepaid. How does, you know. Do we get a refund? Yeah.

It's awkward. A credit, maybe. A credit, then you're like, we're prepaid. How does it, you know? Do we get a refund? Yeah. It's awkward. A credit, maybe. A credit, that situation. Anyway, enjoy the podcast today. There's plenty more fun with that. With something. If you thought that was fun, there's plenty more fun to come. Now, B Humps sent this game through on the weekend.

So this is all on him. It seems on the surface like a really fun game, OK? But if it goes south. That was actually me, but that's good Oh, did you send it through? Oh, sorry I get confused on the WhatsApp group Because it comes up with Ben

He's Ben That's fine I'm not going to put it on behalf I stole it off from another radio station overseas So that's what I did So that's what I did Unashamedly Well, yeah, I said this is a great idea

So they put it on social media And I thought, well, let's take it to the airwaves. So basically it was this radio station in Australia that said, without naming your city, we've added town. So without naming your city and your town, what is it famous for? So you say what it is and we need to obviously guess what it is. Okay. So I'd go, gave birth to Ben Boyce,

has a suspicious genital looking statue at the beginning of town when you drive in. So, Masterton. Masterton, yeah. The golden share statue. You could have been also added in farmers and stubbies and mullets as well, you know? Although that's a lot of New Zealand, actually. Perk having a lot of mullets, though, in Masterton.

You're right, Ben. This feels like it could shame a lot of New Zealand. It feels like people might phone up. We're meant to be stimulating the economy, not humiliating the economy. It doesn't have to be bad things. I mean, like, bought a lot of corrugated iron from someone back in the day. Tito. Yeah, exactly.

It's not saying it's a bad thing. It's what's iconic about Tito. Although you find a lot of joy in all that corrugated iron, that abundance of corrugated iron. It brings you much happiness. How about, had some good times, but now it's time to let Lord of the Rings go. Hobbiton. Or Wellington.

Would have accepted two answers. I quite like Hobbiton, but I was thinking Wellington are really holding on to it. Here's one. Moan about sitting in traffic for five hours a day. Moan about not being able to afford a house. Moan about a water shortage. Oh yeah, definitely Auckland. Has a town clock, but all

four sides tell the wrong time. Palmerston. Great, this is a fun game.. Has a town clock, but all four sides tell the wrong time. Palmerston Hall. Great, this is a fun game. Yeah. This is a fun game, but we will accept no cheap jibes relating to disease statistics. No. Okay, Hamilton's had it hard enough over the last few years.

We're not here for a cheap laugh at their expense. So, 0800, how's the game going to work, Ben? This is your game you stole. Yeah, well, yeah. I thought Behem stole it. No, 0800 the hits. How's the game going to work, Ben? This is your game you stole. Yeah, well, yeah. I thought Behem stole it. No, I stole this one. But it's a fun game that we're going to play just without naming your city or town. Name something from it. We have

to try and guess where you're calling from. Yeah, what is it famous for? And then we need to try and work out what the town is. Okay, here's a clue. You must have a tanned, terrifically toned torso to take a pouty selfie on top of the mountain. Oh, the mountains. Mount Maunganui.

Yeah, well done. Don't love those photos. I don't know. If you don't climb up the mountain and don't take a selfie, maybe you have never climbed the mountain. That's the thing. You have to go up there and take a selfie. You'd be a mountain climber, too, if you climbed the mountain.

Yes, I have. Take a selfie at the top. Yes, I have. That's what you do. We've got a help eater on the line. Leanne, welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast. Give us a clue. We'll try and figure out where you're calling from. Alrighty.

We have some of the most amazing stuff in this town. Amazing what? It sounded like your phone cut out there as you were saying. Oh, sorry. Amazing studs. Oh, Cambridge. Oh, sorry. Amazing Studs. Oh, Cambridge. Oh, damn it. Is that right? Yeah, that's right.

Oh, well done. Well done. Yeah, of course, Horsetown, isn't it? Yeah, Horsetown, all right. Horsetown. Also love cycling around in circles as well. Oh, yeah, that could have been another, but no, the Studs are better.

Yeah, right. They've got a wonderful town, very picturesque Cambridge. It's beautiful at the moment. Yep, absolutely. Will you look after yourself in beautiful Cambridge, Leanne, okay, and go and ride one of those studs? I will. Thank you very much. It came out. Yeah, it's kind of weird. Don't

linger on it. Mel, you're on. Hello. Alright, give us a clue. We'll try and figure out where you're calling from. Okay. When we go shopping, we go back to the 1980s. Oh, Hudley. Hudley. Yeah.

Yes. Yeah. This is fun. This is a fun game. I love this game. I don't like people winning on this show, but it's more fun to just play along this way. Yeah.

Thank you, Mel, from Hudley, for phoning through there. Oh, no, 800. It's Marlis. Welcome. You'reis, welcome. You're on. Hi. When you go for a walk, you walk through whale bones. Oh.

What's the top of the South Island? Would it be along the coast there? Not Kaikoura? No. Oh, whale bones. No, Google it. Don't Google it. Don't touch the computer. Don't touch the computer. No, we don't know. You, whale bones. No, Google it. Don't Google it. Don't touch your computer.

Don't touch your computer. No, we don't know. You can tell us. I'm clearing emails. Not the time. Tell us what it is. The Tewiwiri Bridge in New Plymouth. Oh.

Oh, yes. I didn't know that. Okay, well, there you go. We've learnt something. Well done. Hell, pizza are all yours, Marlis. Fantastic. Yeah, got us on a good one there.

We're on a roll. We're doing a bridge. Chris, you're on. Welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast. Name something from your town. We'll try and figure out where you're living. Okay, in my hometown, if you can get out of the clothes dryer, you can outrun the cops in a motor-powered wheelchair.

Timaru. Timaru. Yes! Tell me more. I don't know what this is. What is this about? Wasn't there a drunk guy that got caught in an industrial clothes dryer? Yes. He was off a drunken bet and he'd locked himself in the dryer and he couldn't get out.

So he had to call emergency services. More recently, the guy outran the cops in the bloody wheelchair. And that's Timaru for you. There you go. A wonderful part of New Zealand, isn't it? Too right. Too right. What do you do there, Chris?

I drive the rubbish trucks. Oh, give us a honk in the horn. No, horn's busted. Okay. Don't give us a honk on the horn. Do it with your mouth. Honk honk. Hey, thank you very much.

I think that game should be back, Ben. I like it. They're proud of New Zealand. Go New Zealand. If only New Zealand was proud of them. Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast. On the hits. Now, you'll understand this, Ben, and I'm sure many people will who are listening to the show right now. If you have children in the household, toys come in, don't they?

And they come in many forms, toys. You know, sometimes they're gifted to you by people who have, I believe, a vendetta against you and your family. Sometimes at a birthday party, you're like, why would you do this to me? What have I done to you in a past life that I would deserve a toy of this nature noisy toy it is nice it's not nice to receive when you're the parent of someone who gets a noisy toy but it's so good to give and it brings you much joy gifting it because i've done it too and it's you you get that look in the eye of like

you're a monster why would you why would you you know yeah enjoy this and you know, it needs batteries you know I provided batteries, it's the one time you provide batteries. Put them in now, you should start using it now, all day and all night but it feels like you know amongst the toy manufacturers and the toy designers too, it's like the space race isn't it it's a race to invent the most annoying

children's toy and I have a little bit of a competition this week and you can participate as well. Do you think you have New Zealand's or Aotearoa's most annoying children's toy in your household? No, these are normally the ones that the kids love so much. The kids love it. It's just the parents, you know,

often the ones that make a noise. You're like, oh, that noise again. And generally when it's in your hands, you're happy. You know, when you're playing with it, you're happy, but it's everyone else who has to deal with it. They're the collateral damage. Yeah, like a water pistol's the same too, isn't it? You've got it.

It's great to squirt everywhere. Squirt it in the face. As soon as someone's got it, I'll put it away, put it away. Not inside! Is that all you're literally doing that tends to do? Yeah, not inside. Come on, grow up.

But I'd like to get the ball rolling today with New Zealand's most annoying children's toy. This was a microphone that was gifted to my daughter. That was gifted to my daughter for her birthday. It's quite an impressive looking microphone. Yeah, it's the microphone, but it's also got the speaker attached to it. So it's an all-in-one. Hello.

Hello. And it's kind of become like a... You sound like you're a PA at an A&P show or something. It's like a PA system for our household. With the driver of Mitsubishi RQ4892. Just to remind you, lift your car lights all the way up in the driveway. See, this looks like a lot of fun. I want to hold that microphone in my hands, but right now you're a little annoying.

It's actually quite good, though, but it gets results. Because you're like, has anyone seen my car keys bellows across the house i can imagine you would be the most annoying person in the family with it to be fair i'm the one that aggravates the household you're right a microphone and you and like go go together as if i don't get enough of a microphone between six to nine in the morning now i've got one at home what else does it do or is it just like a pa it can hook up to a phone so you can sing along with your favorite tunes as well yeah no it's it's quite diverse this thing so I'm gonna put this forward as New Zealand's most

aggravating children's toy and mainly when it's in my hands you're right be okay if you got anything you'd like to bring my bag. You can enter this competition too. 4487. We'll get it running on our social. This is one I put in my bag because my mum bought it for the kids. And it's just something that's called Back Chat. And you can So you just push what answer you want. No, maybe, yes,

sorry. And it's got different versions. That was the no one. You push it again. So if I ask you, hey Ben, mate, could you pass me over that macaroni? Mm-hmm. Well, I think so. Yeah, like so many different things. But then you'd be like, oh, hold on,

no, that wasn't the right response. You'd just keep going back. Where do you mean to keep that? In your pocket? And it's quite muffled too, you know? What did you say? Sorry. Why don't you just say it? It's probably clearer. No, hang on.

I got this thing. Okay, so if you'd like to enter New Zealand's most annoying children's toy. Quite possibly so. 0800, that's the telephone number 4487. And we get it open on the Hits Breakfast Instagram and Facebook as well. It is a hit. She got Jono and Ben. Paid to talk words and stuff into a microphone.

It's New Zealand's breakfast. Jono and Ben on the Hits. Scrolling through your feed. Now, over the weekend, you would have heard this cool news that Harry and Meghan had their second baby. And Patricia, Julia, you'll be so happy about this. Yes, I woke up yesterday morning, saw the Herald notification, and it was clickbaited.

It was like, it's a girl, and what is the name? And I was like, and so I clicked on it, and it's a beautiful name. Yeah, so Lily Bit was the Queen's nickname when she was little, so it's kind of like a throwback sort of name for her, in honour of her, but Lily for short, so that was really cool. And throwback sort of name for her, in honour of her, but Lily for short. So that was really cool. And Diana is the middle name as well. Lily Bit Diana.

That's a cute name. Yeah. Very cute name. Now, Juliet, you got up for the wedding in the middle of the night. You got up for the funeral in the middle of the night. You got up for the birth of babies in the middle of the night. Very exciting. But I don't think they've released any photos

and I'm desperate to see a photo. You're more committed to the royal family than Harry has ever been. Yeah. I did think it was nice, though, honouring the Queen in a way because obviously there's been, you know, a well-publicised sort of fractured relationship

between them. I thought it was nice. But then it seems like you can't do anything right now. It's been slammed online for, oh, how would you do that after all this? And I'm like, oh, jeez. I know. You can't win. You can't win either way after all this? And I'm like, oh, jeez. I know. You can't win.

You can't win either way, you know? It's good. I love slamming online. One of my favourite hobbies. Now, Piers Morgan, of course, he had a lot to say about Meghan and Harry. He's the UK, the controversial UK TV host. He basically walked off the job. He did.

He went in on them. And then he wouldn't apologise. He'd even doubled down on it. And the show's ratings have plummeted since he's left. Yeah, so the day before he walked out, ITV Breakfast Show, it was at a record high, this is in the UK, 1.9 million viewers. Last week, it's now 451,000 viewers. So it's almost like a quarter of what it was.

And he says they're begging him, begging him to come back. And you can only imagine someone like that with that amount of power in their hands in the negotiating room. There was an article from his wife or partner.

She'd talked to him. She's like, please someone give him a job. He's just at home all the time now. He needs to go out and do a job. She was like, imagine waking up every morning and he's just staring at you in bed.

Yeah. It's pretty much it. It's like, give him a job and get him out there and get him back on the screen. He She was like, imagine waking up every morning and he's just staring at you in bed. Yeah. It's pretty much it. It's like, give him a job and get him out there and get him back on the screen. He would be like, I demand to be carried into the studio on the backs of my co-hosts every morning. But he had this to say on the new baby. I just think it's sort of quite ironic, isn't it,

that you've got this couple who've been trashing the royal family and the monarchy for the last few weeks. And they've named the baby after the queen. So maybe it's their way of, you know, reaching out, as the Americans say, to the royals and wanting some kind of end to this on-running feud. But look, I always think when a new baby's born, I've had four myself. It's very churlish to put any negative slant at such a moment. So I wish them all the very best.

There's four in the family now. I wish them every success and a long and happy life. What was that? It started off as a dig, and then he came back around. Then he had a bit of like, oh, I've got children, so I wouldn't say anything. I think it leaves you going, oh, no, it was actually quite nice. But you're right, it started with a bit of a, I think, quite nice.

Where do we sit at the end of that? Quite a nice comment. Maybe he was unsure. And that is scrolling to your feed this morning. Real Kiwi blokes with soy lattes. Mmm. Shono and Ben, breakfast on the hits. Time.

Now, we want to talk about bathroom etiquette. We want to find out from you guys listening right now some of the do's and don'ts in public bathroom situations. Well, Juliette just admitted something to us before 7 o'clock off air. And I thought it was completely normal. Maybe it is. Well, I don't know. Is it like after the gym or something,

if I'm coming back to work or if I have a shower at the gym, sometimes I'll shave my legs in the shower. Shaving your legs in the public changing room? Is that not normal? I don't know. Listen, to be honest, I haven't shaved much in public. Shaved a couple of dollars off a sushi combo thanks to a loyalty card once. But that's about it. But shaving, it seems

like an act that would you're probably just doing your own bathroom at home. Yeah, but sometimes you're not at home and you need to shower and you need to shave your legs. You've got to do it where you're doing it, you know? And the amount of hair that's at the bottom of gym showers anyway, like by the drains. So you just add into it. You're just contributing small amounts.

Definitely need to chuck some Drano down those, though, don't they? Oh, yeah. So do people look at you strangely when you're shaving your legs in the public changing room? Well, no, because I'm in the cubicle in the shower doing it with no one watching. Oh, so it's in secret. I see. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I see.

Well, we once knew a guy who witnessed someone daily because he would go to the same gym every day in the changing room. There'd be a gentleman there blow-drying a certain part of his anatomy. Yeah. Yeah. That's disgusting.

Getting it bone-dry. Well, maybe it's good for, you know, like... True. That'd be quite hot, though. Oh, no, you could use a cold setting. That's disgusting. Getting it bone dry. Well, maybe it's good for, you know. True. That'd be quite hot though. Oh no, you could use a cold setting. That's fine. You probably wouldn't want that cold setting, would you? Jeez, it'd be a wonderful condition down there, wouldn't it?

Bone dry. So what are the do's and don'ts of changing room etiquette? In particular, the don'ts of the public bathrooms. Yeah, everyone's got a work bathroom or one at the gym and the things that you don't, you just don't do. We've talked about banter, like talking. Like John has one for just chatting to people. I do. I had a bit of

an incident with Boss Todd actually of all people in the one next door here. We started a conversation. Todd went into a cubicle and I continued the conversation. As soon as a cubicle door shuts, that's where the conversation. Is that private time? Well, that for me, that's, yeah.

But there are people that do that. They have conversations. There are people that talk on their phone inside the cubicles. But I see what you mean. Because when you stop as soon as you go into the bath, the cubicle, you're like, now it just gets awkward. And now you can hear each other doing what you need to do. We're only halfway through the conversation as well.

So what, do I stop talking and just wait outside here for him to emerge? It was a free-flowing conversation on many levels. So 0800 the hits. What are the no-no's? The do's and don'ts of changing room etiquette. We want to create a list this morning that we can all abide by. You can text to 4487. Can I clear my emails on a laptop?

Is that a yes or a no? Well, a laptop seems like a lot of effort in the work bathroom, but hey, I mean, your productivity is great. Management will be like, this guy. No downtime. This guy's constantly working. You can text us on 4487. Are there any other ones you see in the

girls' changing room, Juliet? Crimes upon the changing room. Oh. No, the main thing would be sometimes people leave, especially with girls who have long hair, if they're washing their hair, they'll leave their hair, long hair, smeared on the side of the shower.

So you walk in and there's just hair stuck to the side and it's just a bit disgusting. No smeared hair. No. That's one rule that Juliet wants to put down. You can add to the list right now. The one I think is a no-no, it's like if a cubicle's locked, don't knock on it.

Some people knock on it. You're like, well, yes, clearly there's someone in here because it's locked. And then you have to have that conversation where you try and disguise your voice. Hello. Is anyone in there? Both of you are disguising your voice, though, Because the knocker doesn't want to be recognised

And the knocky certainly doesn't want to be recognised So I find it, don't knock If it's locked, it's locked End up in a two person pantomime By putting on comedy voices I know, because you don't want anyone else to know it's you We'll start with Rachel in Christchurch The no-no's in the toilets or changing rooms.

Rach? Hi. I think you can't answer your phone in the bathroom. I find it so weird. Yes. It's weird. People have conversations when you're out there and you're washing your hands and they're in a cubicle

and they're talking about business stuff. People even do it at work. Yeah, I think, no. Not to answer a phone call. Again, it goes back to my email previously too. Productivity. It's a society that we live in. We need to be contactable

and you need to answer your phone at any time, particularly if you're in the sales game. You need to be booking ads. You need to be selling cars, whatever you're doing. Rachel says no phone calls. You can text us 24487 this morning. We'll go to Martin. Welcome.

No-no's in the changing room. Marty. Morning, guys. How's it going? Yeah, good. Thank you very much. Did you almost go Martin? Did you almost say your name?

Maybe. Maybe. I like it. I like it. Hey, one big no-no, and this just doesn't matter what changing room you're in, is you don't walk around naked posing. Oh, yeah. I know.

A lot of confidence required from a human being to be able to do that. Yeah. It's not for me. It's just very awkward. Ben, it's not for me. It's not for me. I prefer to cower away in the corner with my towel wrapped around my waist doing that awkward thing where you're trying to pull your pants up underneath.

That's the main reason I stopped playing rugby. You get in, you get changed, you go home. The lack of cubicle showering situations. I was an undies on guy. He actually got selected for the All Blacks. But he was like, I can't do it because of the changing room. It's not for me, guys.

Ruined his rugby career. Hey, Marty, you go and have a great week, eh, buddy? Yeah, you guys too. Cheers. Yeah, too. No brushing your teeth in, eh buddy? Yeah, you guys too. Cheers. No brushing your teeth in the toilet. They're saying not necessarily the changing room.

I imagine you have probably done this in the work. Oh no, but it worked because it's the hygiene thing of getting your toothbrush out in there. I kind of feel like,

no, even for me, that's a no-no. Another here, 4487, in our work changing room I saw someone having a nap. It's a good place to go Another here, 4487. In our work changing room, I saw someone having a nap. It's a good place to go if you want to avoid everyone.

We've got Jane on from the capital. How's Wellington this morning, Jane? It's a bit nippy, but pretty good. Great weather forecast there. A bit nippy in Wellington. What are the no-no's in the changing room? No eating. And, like, please flush.

That's just gross. Who's eating? There's a woman in our gym who eats her breakfast in the bathrooms, and it's honestly the weirdest thing I've ever seen. Yeah, well, you get a combination of everyone's routines in one room, don't you? Yeah. Some people don't adjust. That's the problem.

You need to adjust what you're doing at home to the public environment. Broadcasting live. And mostly awake. Jono and Ben. New Zealand's breakfast. On the hits. Jono's internet wormhole. Ring, ring, ring.

Hello, lost and found. Oh, hello. I would like to report a missing person. I lost a strange bald man with questionable tattoos somewhere. Oh, he's on the internet. We've found him. Today. Why do you mean lost and... That's a wonderful role play, wasn't it? Two-person role play. Lost a strange bald man with questionable tattoos somewhere. Oh, he's on the internet. We've found him today. Why do you mean lost him?

That's a wonderful role play, wasn't it? Two-person role play. These are 43, Ben, 43 celebrity facts. Celebrity facts, not celebrity flax, which we'll get onto tomorrow. There's some wonderful flax plants out there. Celebrity facts that will have your jaw dropping. That's what I'm guaranteeing. At the moment, I can see your jaw.

Top and bottom are currently joined. Yeah, they are joined at the moment. They're pouting a little bit, to be honest, because... He's even reversed. He's even making his jawline tighter. We like to have a little conversation when this is going on. He always comes up with a big number, like 43. Yeah, I know.

I know. I don't have time for 43 facts. It always confuses me to who compiles the list and then settles on, oh well 43, we're done there guys. Yeah, but anyway I'm sure there'll be interesting ones. I'm just handpick a few of your faves. Okay, so what's an appropriate number

for you out of these 43? 39? No. I'd say 1 to 2. And if they're interesting you can go for a third. Yeah, yes that's good. There we go that's good You've got two My facts have to prove themselves That's the good way of doing it You keep telling us facts and then when we get sick of it

We'll stop And if we get to 43 that's on you So it's all on the delivery And engaging the audience If I want to hear another fact I'll keep going Here's the first celebrity fact Did you know Justin Timberlake's mother is Ryan Gosling's legal guardian? Oh.

That is quite interesting. All right. All right, so it's passed. Now, this was from their time. There was a show called The Mickey Mouse Club. They were both on when they were children. Brittany was on the same show. And at the time, I don't know what Gosling's birth parents were doing,

but Timberlake's mum assumed legal guardianship of Gosling. Okay, that was really interesting. She's the hottest. Oh my gosh, imagine that. Channing Tatum. Have you heard of Channing Tatum? Yes, Magic Mike and 21 Jump Street and a few others. Well, what if I told you Channing Tatum was paid $400

to play the role of the bartender in Ricky Martin's smash hit video, She Bangs, She Bangs, She Bangs. But wait, did he end up being in the music video? He was at the bartender. Oh, he was? In the music video. That's not George, I think. I mean, someone's got to be the bartender.

What could have been an up-and-coming actor by the name of Channing Tatum? Ashton Kutcher's real name's Christopher. No, you're losing me. No, I'm not losing you. You're losing me now. Actually, I did know that. I did know that. One more.

You've got one more. Okay, did you know Dennis Rodman has 28 siblings? Don't try and get me back with a basketball. Now I'm like, ooh, ooh, basketball. Patricia Juliet, I'm throwing this one over to you. I'm checked out. I've lost it. Do, do, do.

Flatlining. Leonardo DiCaprio's mum was looking at a Da Vinci painting when she named him. He's still going. He's still going. Right. I didn't even make it through seven facts. It's the hits you got with Jono and Ben. Add these two men together and somehow you get three quarters worth of a normal man.

The Hits with Jono and Ben for breakfast. Lovely to see you all. I've missed you over three days. I get separation anxiety. I bet you didn't. I bet you didn't. That's why I'm like...

Do you know as we're just turning on the microphones, producer Humphrey, Bee Humps, informs us he's running an ultra marathon. In a team. In a team of...

In a team of... But you put the word ultra in there. Why? Why is it ultra? Because I think it's full of you. In a team of you, but you put the word ultra in there. Why is it ultra? Because I think it's full of hills. Yeah, right. I don't think I should have done this. Have you done any training for this ultra?

Not yet, but it's not until October, so I figured it's a bit of time to start. How far do you have to run? I think my leg's 17 kilometres, so it's not far. But then when you read it, you're sort of like, oh, does that mean steep? You know, they... Well, they put the word ultra in. That should be a huge red flag. Yeah. Yeah. Julie, and you're running a full marathon later this year. Yeah, I'm doing the Queenstown

full. Last year I did a half, so it's really... You have to really start training like I'm already starting now. It's crazy how much you have to put into it. It's just an achievement for me to walk over here from the car park every day. Well done, you guys. Yeah, I'm five grand back on the line again this morning.

7.45 after last Friday. We got there in the end. How are you feeling about going back in there? A bit of PTSD back into the booth, mate? I spent a lot of time in the Soundproof booth on Friday to win someone some money. We'll reflect on that this morning as well as a whole lot more. Yeah, yeah, no. Yeah, no. Yeah, no.

Yeah, no. The home of yeah, no. She'll be right and at the end of the day. Jono and Ben, breakfast on the head. How was your weekend? You've been bloody doing something new New Zealand, haven't you? Yeah, every weekend. Family, yeah.

Well, we worked pretty much every weekend from February for three months. So I was like, yeah, it's good to go away with the family. Spend some time with the family. He's bungeed, he's zorbed, he's dressed up as an orc, he's rode whales, he's kissed whales, you name it. He's done it all. Yeah. Over the weekend I went to Waitomo Caves. Never actually

been there before. One of those places I've always wanted to go and it was really cool to go there over the weekend. Do you hang off abseil? Oh, you can. There's different things you can do. So we obviously went with the kids. So you walk down into this amazing impressive cave and then you go on a little boat ride and you can see's different things you can do so we obviously went with the kids so you walk down into this amazing impressive cave and then you go on a little uh little boat ride and you can see these amazing glow worms in the cave so it's really cool and standing there i didn't realize the the ladies the lady was taking us on a tour she was awesome but she was like the acoustics in the

cave are incredible she's like if anyone wants to sing and new zealand is in a crowd i wish i could have sang in that moment uh you know she's like I'll turn the lights off and you can sing. And then she ended up singing. She had an amazing voice. But she's like, they've taken down Katy Perry is sung in the caves. She's like, Kiri Takanoa is recorded, I think, songs down there. She's like, the Beatles, Rod Stewart. She was named one of these names of people that have been standing in the caves.

And sung. And used the acoustics around to sing. Yeah, just not to record or anything apart from carry the kanoa but i was like wow that's a really cool thing it is do you think she was like would anyone like to sing and i was like no no no and it was just a ploy for her to get out there and show her singing ability it didn't feel like that because you could hear the other tall group in front and the guy had an amazing voice and then she was like oh she was like the tour guys just all professional singers disguised as?

She was really good, though. And it sounded really cool, actually. But you're right. It was one of those moments where I was like, well, maybe I could. Maybe I should. And then I was like, oh, no, that's not. What would you have done? I don't know.

What would you have done? I don't know. Yeah, she sang something really beautiful, Pocahontas. Oh, yeah, that's lovely. Yeah. You can't back it up with like. No, it was really good. Well, she'd been talking about these sort of crustaceans that have formed in the cave you know like fossils like this one was like a starfish like patrick so i was like oh

maybe i could sing spongebob you know in my head that was i was like no not not the time being i like big butts in it no okay no one no one no one yeah but yeah it was actually really cool so what do you suggest going to the caves yeah it was an awesome awesome experience how much are the caves oh my family pass I can't remember

how much we paid yeah but you can do the things like the black water rafting as well we didn't you know where you sit on the tyres and you ride through

at a different part but you know we got little kids so it was yeah it was really awesome oh well I'm gonna go to those caves one day will you

of course I will before I die on my deathbed I'll be like wheel me into the caves Oh, well, I'm going to go to those caves one day. Will you? Of course I will. Before I die. On my deathbed. Wheel me into the caves. Jono says he's like, Wheel me into the caves. You don't have to leave your house to go to the caves. Oh, no, no, no.

I don't like the sound of that. I don't like the sound of that. Hey, next we've got news and beeps. Producer Juliet's gone through the news at the moment and some of the weirder sort of news stories have been to headline. Yes, I absolutely have. We'll do that next time. The one involving Donald Trump intrigues me.

It will, it will. We'll get to that next. Kia ora, I'm Rachel Jackson-Lees and this is the B*** News. All right, this is where Juliet goes to Ladbible and steals all their content and beeps out the headlines from news stories. That is pretty accurate. Thank you very much. So the first news story that you guys have to guess

what the title is is... Study finds baby boomers are more... than millennials. I'm going to go older. They put a study in and it came out that actually baby boomers are older than millennials. Fair. I'm going to say baby boomers are more likely to call Mike Hosking on ZB.

It's true. Also true. Study finds baby boomers are more hypersensitive than millennials. Oh, baby boomers are more hypersensitive. Yeah. So it was a study on narcissism. Is that it? Did I?

Yeah. Narcissism. So many S's and C's in that word. And they studied that across different generations and the qualities associated with narcissism. Millennials are more narcissistic than baby boomers, but baby boomers are more sensitive. So if you're going to roast a baby boomer,

you're probably going to get more of a reaction from the boomer than you will from the millennial. I think the boomers, they've had a hard run over the last couple of years. They've become the butt of comedy fodder and they don't deserve it. Yeah, sure, they destroyed the planet but they raised us, didn't they? I'm talking like I'm a millennial.

And also the name Karen. Again, I saw a clip on the project last night with a Karen, a lady whose name was Karen saying you know, we can't, we've seen someone who complains now, and then we can't complain about the fact that we're saying, because everyone will go, oh, Karen complained. You know, you're like, you're right.

You're going to lose, lose. Yeah, you know, if you went out there and everyone was like, oh, you're Ben, and that was a bad thing, you'd be like, oh, stink, you know. True, that is very true. And if anything's okay, Boomer, even when they open their mouth. I know. I know, it's actually quite a good point, OK Boomer. The next news story.

World's most expensive **** has been sold in Hong Kong. Something expensive in Hong Kong. I'm going to go pretentious craft beer. Sold for a lot of money in Hong Kong. I'm going to go world's most expensive item that would surprise Producer Juliet enough to feature on the news and beats. That's probably true. Thank you. It's sold at a high price in Hong Kong.

World's most expensive car parking space has been sold in Hong Kong. So for one car parking space, it got sold for $2 million. So it's in a very good location. It's part of like an apartment block that you have to pay extra, obviously, for a car park underneath. And people are just paying this crazy amount of money just to get their car parked underneath. What is the population of Hong Kong? It is, I think it's in the millions, isn't it? 7.5 million.

Size of Lake Taupo. Hong Kong. 7.5 million in there. That's crazy. My friend, apparently it's clean. It's the cleanest place you'll ever come. I think you get fined for chewing gum. Yeah, I think it is.

They don't even let you chew gum in public. Wow. That would be very interesting to go and see that. See a place like that. We travelled through to Changi Airport, and we ate some gum in a cubicle in the toilet. Two guys, and we felt very weird walking out of there. But a deep, fresh breath.

And the final story. Donald Trump spotted wearing... at rally. I'm going to say Donald Trump spotted wearing a ginger cat on his head. He couldn't find his hairpiece if he put it on. I'm going to say Donald Trump spotted wearing Make America Greaterer again hat. Again, again hat.

They should really do that, shouldn't they? And the reveal? Donald Trump spotted wearing pants backwards at rally. So over the weekend, he gave a very long speech at a rally. And then as he stepped away from the podium, some people who were very, who noticed this, I don't know why you'd notice to look in that area anyway, but they zoomed in on his crotch region and

it's very tight and it looks like he's got it back to front. It does a bit eh? It looks like he might. But surely you can't put... How do you put your pants on pants? Dress pants, not track pants. Track pants you're like, oh maybe at a push? Yes, true. That's a good point. But dress pants when you've got to do the little button in the fly

and everything? Yeah! It does go tight around the, sort of the pelvis, the top of the thigh there for Trump, doesn't it? Yeah. Really is pulling in backwards. But there was, in the 90s, there was a young rap duo by the name of Criss Cross, and they wore all of their clothes backwards. Really?

That was their thing. That was their shtick. Shirts, pants, everything. So maybe Trump's a fashion icon. Yeah. Oh, I see. You know, the 90s are coming back. Trump's like, why not backward clothes?

Chris Cross, we're doing it. True, very true. But yeah, there's a lot to go wrong to end up with suit pants or backwards. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Unless Milani was like, messed up your day. Probably gives zero tosses, you know. He's just like so past the point of even caring. And that is the news and beeps for you.

Thank you. Thank you very much, Producer Juliet. Before 7 o'clock this morning, we're going to talk real baby news. It is the hits. You've got Jono and Ben. Everything is awesome. It's pretty much the Lego theme tune. This isn't the everything is awesome.

And to celebrate, Lego's got a new video app. We have been set, Jono, the Ultimate Lego Challenge. We didn't know what that challenge was until we came into work today, but producer Behumps has just brought in two Lego grand piano boxes. 3,662 pieces, this grand piano. So we've got to build one of these each. We can take them home, and I think we're going to be playing for an island each, the North or the South Island.

Yeah, so whoever finishes the grand piano first will win their island. Hundreds and hundreds of packets of Lego. They've got a whole new range now, Lego. Yeah, so there's 300 Lego video packs and we'll be giving those away to, I guess, a school or community group in that island. Yeah, basically you can create your own music videos now on this video app. Just songs with like Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Sam Smith, with the Lego that you create out of these packets.

Plug it into the app. Some witchcraft happens. You get a music video. That's pretty awesome, actually. And that's what we can win. Everything is awesome. Everything is awesome. They said it already.

Following through these Lego people. So, yeah, I don't know. And speaking of following through, I'm not a follow-through guy. 3,000 pieces of Lego. I've had, you know, I did the Millennium Falcon, the Lego Star Wars ship. Now, that took you longer to make than it took George Lucas to make the entire Star Wars franchise. Exactly. It took me a long time.

You know, it's one of those things. I enjoy making Lego. It's fun. But it's creating Lego. but it does take a while. So hopefully by Christmas, one of us would have completed this great. I'm looking at it now. It's daunting. It's functional.

Like you can play the piano. You need to. Oh, God. Okay. So anyway. So what we need to do is we need to decide who's representing which island. Now, given his rough, rugged exterior and hard nature, I would say Ben of the South would be rooting for you.

Yeah, definitely. You can text 4487. Who do you want to represent the North Island? Who do you want to represent the South Island? At 8 o'clock, we'll announce who will be doing what, and then we'll embark on this Lego journey, this dark, dark hole of making Lego after the show. Yeah, it's fun.

It's fun, but I imagine 3,000 pieces is going to take us a long time. I imagine it starts off fun. It'll be a rollercoaster of emotions, this. That's part of the challenge. That's part of the, you know, when you do it and you see it there, you're like, oh, my God, I achieved that. Ben Huffrey, producer Huffrey came in and was like, oh, we just need to get it done by the end of the week.

End of the week. 3,600. Yeah, I don't know if we're going to get it by the end of the week. But we'll work hard on that. And if you want to nominate one of us for the island of your choice, then do that right now on the text. It is the hits. You've got John and Ben.

To everyone pulling a sickie today, you're not fooling anyone. John and Ben, breakfast on the hits. Friday, well, we promised last week before Queen's birthday weekend we're going to give away $5,000 for our game we play, five words for 5K. And by Friday, we hadn't given away the money, so I stayed in the soundproof booth. I was locked in there until we...

For hours on end. It was a good couple of hours, right? Yeah, and then when we released you from the soundproof booth, I was greeted by an avalanche of Ben's musk just pouring all over me. Well, you're kind of trapped in the little, it's almost like a phone booth basically in the corner of the studio. Remember phone booths? They used to be a thing.

They're still around too. But not really. Do they function in any way? Yeah, I think teenagers use them to hook up every now and then. Yeah, so I was locked in there and we played Five Words for 5K over and over again. You know we had 73,000 phone calls. B Humps was just

saying. Check the call log. We've never been so popular. Let's do that more often. It makes us feel good about ourselves. So this happened just before 10 o'clock. I'm going to... Jersey. Jade! You got five minutes! So this happened just before 10 o'clock I'm going to Jersey

Jade You've got five minutes You've won It's over Let him out of the booth So that was Jade Wonderful winner and we actually spoke to her Just moments after her victory

Has it sunk in? It's been a few minutes now, but yeah. My heart's finally stopped racing. What are you thinking? What's going through your mind? That I finally got through. I've been sitting here since like 7.30, just pushing the button on and off and off.

And I was about to give up, but I didn't. You didn't. And that's a wonderful message to all those kids out there. If you're in a radio competition, don't give up, but I didn't. You didn't, and that's a wonderful message to all those kids out there. If you're in a radio competition, don't give up. Yeah, just keep going. Never give up. I'm going to share it with my friend.

You share the money with your friend? Yeah. Where's your friend? Just shout out to Imogen. Oh, let's call Imogen. We'll let you tell her because we don't want to... We'll just creepily record it. We'll start.

Hello, Imogen speaking Hey Imogen It's Jono and Ben calling From the Hits radio station Hi Oh my god How are you? We're going alright

How are you? Oh my god Bloody ecstatic My mate Jade Holy crap I know Jade We were just ringing to say Did you hear that Jade won

$5,000 Yes I've been I've been listening all morning And I was like So hoping she'd get through. I'm so bloody stoked. And we were also debating whether we call you and creepily just listen from the sidelines or front foot it.

And we front footed it, which I think was the right thing to do. Was the right thing to do. And we want to actually hand you over to your friend right now who's on the line as well. Oh my God, Jade. Good job. I know. Oh my gosh. I can't believe that I'm still shaking.

I'm splitting it with you. Really?, my gosh. I can't believe it. I'm still shaking. I'm splitting it with you. Really? Oh, my God. Oh, my God. It's insane. Thank you. Yeah, she split it. And we're like, what?

You don't have to. But she said you do so much for her and you're such a great friend. She's giving you two and a half grand. She wants to split the money with you. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I don't know what to say. I'm speechless.

That's such an amazing thing. Oh my god. Thank you so much. Are you crying? Yeah. This is going to help me so much. Oh, this is adorable. Listen, love you both. Keep safe. Thank you guys.

Love your radio show, by the way. Yeah, it was lovely actually to get out of the booth and also to give Jade $5,000, and also for her to share it with someone. Generosity plus, and Ben said he would think about doing that for me. I did. Are you still thinking? Yeah, I'm still thinking. I was also, yeah, like,

you asked me after you'd locked me in a booth for two hours. Yeah. You know, like, I wasn't going to come out and go, yeah, I'd share money with you. Yeah. So now you've had three days to think about it? No. We apologise in advance. Sorry about that. Sorry about that. I'm sorry to rope you you. So now you've had three days to think about it? No. We apologise in advance. Sorry about that. Sorry about that. I'm sorry to rope you into this.

Sorry you've been dragged into this. Jono and Penn. Breakfast on the heads. The heads. The heads. Today is World Ocean Day. America's Cup and Olympic sailors Blair Chuuk and Peter Burling are encouraging Kiwis to take a plunge in the ocean for 30 seconds today.

Film it for social media. That's, oh. I mean, the idea of the day is great. Celebrates the massively important role the ocean plays in a healthy planet. And we need to get the oceans healthier, you know. So this is a great idea. We could do that without plunging into the ocean. We know it's a thing.

We appreciate it. You're right. I'm behind the cause. I just don't know if I'm going to be jumping in the ocean for 30 seconds. But then you've got to get dressed again and a towel off. I didn't even bring my togs today. Did you bring your togs, Jude? No, I didn't.

No, listen, we're not going to be plunging. Let's call a spade a spade here. But we are, like you say, being behind the cause. Behind the cause. 70% of the world is covered by the ocean. You know that? 70% is it? Yeah. That's the only fact I have about the ocean

And it's a fun place I find to dump my rubbish too Oh no, no, no Just when my bins are full And I've got nowhere else to put it Spy, thanks to Disney's Cruella In cinemas now Or order it on Disney Plus with Premier Access This part of the show is What the judges' guesses are to the masked singer.

Probably not entirely necessary, but we go through the motions anyway. Here's Juliet with Spy. So over the last wee while, Ed Sheeran and Courtney Cox have been hanging out and playing the piano and singing together, uploading the clips to Instagram. Gee whiz, I tell you what, the Cox-Sheheron piano sessions have been getting some coverage, haven't they? Yeah, that'll probably be a lot of fun. I know, I know. And we figured out why.

We were like, why is Courtney Cox and Ed Sheeran hanging out? But it's because Courtney is married to a guy in Snow Patrol and Ed Sheeran is a good mate to them, so they probably hang out as a big family friendly group. Now, the latest Insta video of Courtney Cox and Ed Sheeran is them two featuring Elton John but it's dedicated to Lisa Kudrow

who obviously plays Phoebe in Friends. Too much famous for me in one setting. This is a world that's harder to mix and mingle between countries. Let's say you've got Elton John, you've got Ed Sheeran, you've got Courtney Cox all together in the same room.

It's quite bizarre. Yeah. But for a bit of context, so they played Elton's song Tiny Dancer, but in an episode of Friends, this is something that Phoebe said. Most romantic song ever was The Way We Were. See, I think the one that Elton John wrote for that guy in Who's the Boss. What song was that, Phoebe? Hold me close, young Tony Danza.

So references Tony Danza. And so then they dedicated this to Lisa Kudrow. Lisa Kudrow, this is for you. One, two, three. And. Hold me close, young Tony Danza. So you've got Elton John, Cox and Sheeran. What I love too is Elton John, he's sitting next to the piano, but he's not playing.

No. Courtney Cox is playing the piano. He's the piano man, isn't he? No, that's Billy Joel. Billy Joel's the piano man. But he's, you know, like an amazing pianist. He can play the piano. Yeah, like it's his thing, right? He can even do the dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun. But you know, Courtney's his thing, right? He can even do that.

But you know, Courtney Cox is like, I'll take this one. You sit on the sidelines. Oh, so what, you just want me to sing a parody of my hit song and not play the piano? I was like, wow, that's a boss move from Courtney Cox. And a lot of people commenting, Jude, were showing me that Ed Sheeran looks like a child. He looks so much younger in this video. He looks fantastic. It's so weird. Maybe it's the no facial hair. I don't child. He looks so much younger in this video. He looks fantastic. It's so weird.

Maybe it's the no facial hair. I don't know. He's like peeled off layers. He looks wonderful. Flawless complexion. He really does. And in other news... I hope he needs grafted a baby's bottom onto his face. Yeah, probably.

Other news, Kim Kardashian has spoken out about the Kanye divorce for the first time on their show, Keeping Up With The Kardashians. I think he deserves someone that can go support his every move and go follow him all over the place and move to Wyoming. I can't do that. He should have a wife that supports his every move and travels with him and does everything

and I can't. I feel like a f***ing failure that it's like a third f***ing marriage. But I can't even think about that like I want to be. It's pretty sad. Her third marriage, which is, she probably has thought that it would be, that would be it. She was married to a guy when she was 19, for four years. A guy called Damon Thomas. That article popped up on my internet during the weekend.

Wow. So she was married to him, and then she married Chris Humphries for just a couple of days, and then married to Kanye. I mean, if it's not working, it's not working. Yeah. And maybe marriage

is not for her. True. True. It's probably not for her. Especially, like you say, they live really busy lives here in Kenya.

Totally. So he wanted to go there. She was off there. I'm sure they've got lots of business interests all around the place. And it'd be hard to keep the marriage a priority

when there's so much going on. Why did she not want to go to Wyoming? Wyoming sounds fun. It's the middle of America. there's so much going on. Why did she not want to go to Wyoming? Wyoming sounds fun. It's the middle of sort of the middle of America, you know. Why don't you come to Wyoming with me? Because we've got a mansion in Los Angeles. And I've got some sort of, you know, makeup and clothing lines and things in there.

Yeah, but Wyoming's fun. I've got a farm. New Zealand's breakfast. This is Jono and Ben on the Heads. It's just gone seven on your Tuesday. Now five words and $5,000 is back again. Your chance to win 5K at 7.45. And on Friday, you locked me in the soundproof booth until we had a winner.

It took over two hours. Yeah. We live streamed the whole thing. And during a live stream, it revealed your internet search. It was a live stream hiccup. And now I feel sorry for all those reality contestants who are like, oh, you forget the cameras are on, you know, when the reality show is being filmed. I know what you mean. I know what you mean because this happened.

Let's Google it. Let's have a look here. Is it okay for my pear colour to change? What are you Googling? What are you googling? That was a YouTube pre-roll. Whatever, mate. Whatever. Prove it.

Prove it. Prove it. I'll prove it. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Prove it. Prove it. Oh, yeah. For my poo colour to change.

Caught red-handed. Or maybe not red-handed. We didn't find out what colour to change. Caught red-handed. Or maybe not red-handed. We didn't find out what colour it was. So, yeah, listen, it was a genuine health concern. And I thought the workplace would be the best place to get some intel on it. And now it's the colour of a rainbow after the weekend. I'll get to the bottom of it. All right.

Jono and Ben, or as they're known in the office, those two. Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast on the hits. Marilyn Monroe, legendary entertainer, died in 1962. Well, they found two cookbooks that she owned. She didn't even create these cookbooks. She owned these cookbooks. And they've got notes that she's written inside the cookbooks, including a listing menu for like a beef recipe,

a bone marrow soup, a grocery shopping list, and she's cut out a little snippet from the paper with a cheese lasagna recipe. She's put that in there. Tell me they're selling it now on eBay. They're selling it on auction. They reckon these two cookbooks that they have verified owned by Marilyn Monroe,

somewhere between $50,000 and $75,000 US dollars. I mean, you know, iconic entertainer. Just a to-do list. Cookbooks, yeah, that she owned, and she's written some stuff inside, but yeah, they're actually her cookbooks. They've verified them as hers. And I reckon that's a lot of money

for... People at Elvis, they're like, oh, I've got his sweaty socks from when he performed, you know, Blue Suede Shoes in Las Vegas in 62. And all that memorabilia means a lot to some people. Well it does, and I don't want to knock people for buy if you've got that sort of money and you want to pay 50 grand

for it. Seems like you are knocking. He's getting his knocker ready. It just seems unusual. I thought maybe if it was her book, like she'd brought out a cookbook. But no, it's just like her having her Edmunds cookbook and she's just scribbled a few notes in it or something. Jeez, people must have just rifled through all of her stuff, eh?

Yeah. What can we auction? What can we sell? You think if the cookbook's worth that, we should have hundreds and hundreds of more things. If I was her family, I'd be going in deep. Oh, yeah, for 50 grand. Who wants a pencil she runs held?

Yeah. Five words for pencil? She runs hell. Yeah. Five words for 5K on the hits. You're only five words away from a massive payday. It is our game of word association. We play it every day at 7.45. I tell you what, we played it for two hours on Friday, nonstop. I was stuck in the soundproof booth. And then we had the car ride down.

We were driving down the line. And my kids wanted to play it in the car. So we ended up playing it. Some of them had put headphones on, and we were trying to come up with words and play it. I want to step away from opening this door and doing a commando roll out on the state highway. I've just had it for two hours, but we played it in the car on the way down. Well, let's hope you don't get sent back in there today. He's suffering from some post-traumatic stress disorder after spending so long in there on Friday.

But welcome to Five Words Dawn from Auckland, Morena. How are you? Hello. Lovely to have you on, Dawn. A confused Dawn. Hi, you. I didn't hear my name. Sorry.

Morning, guys. How are you, Dawn? Yeah, not bad. I'm pretty good, yeah. Good long weekend, Dawn? Yeah, I had a great weekend. Oh, nice. Now, are you ready to try and win $5,000?

Oh, cross fingers, hope, yeah. Okay, well you've got Jono, Ben or Producer Juliet. They're your three options. Send someone into the soundproof booth. Ben. Oh, he's back in there. We had to get a commercial cleaning crew to give that a deep, deep clean over the weekend,

Dawn. Oh, no. It was like they were cleaning up a crime scene. I might clean for him. Yeah, well, he's shut the door, and Dawn, you know how the game works. Yep, I sure do. You've got to come up with five words, Dawn, and if they match with Ben's, you've got $5,000. Let's get into it.

All right. First word, marge. M-A-R-G-E. Marge. M-A-R-G-E. Marge. Simpsons. Beautiful. Nice. Horse.

Horse. Saddle. Saddle. Towel is word number three, Dawn, for $5,000. What's that? that towel or cow towel t-o-w-e-l uh what this really does is it shows up my shocking pronunciation this game sorry um showers hello oh did you what did you say? Sorry?

A shower. Shower. Beautiful. Pronunciation and deaf. Sorry. Sauce. S-A-U-C-E. Sauce.

Tomato sauce. Beautiful. Beautiful. Sorry, I momentarily went off to another place there, Dawn. It wasn't a happy place either. It was a dark place. Word number five is plant, mate. Plant?

Yeah. Plant. Veggies? Veggies, beautiful. You've done well. Those were difficult words, A, to pronounce, and B, to match words with, but you made your way through it. We'll bring Ben out of the soundproof booth to see if he can win you $5,000.

Shall we, Dawn? Oh, that'll be awesome. All right, we'll see if he can muster up five words out of that little beautiful mouth of his. Hasn't he got a wonderful mouth, Juliet? Yes. Best mouth on radio. Juliet's like, what do you want me to say?

What do you want me to say to that? That's a weird, weird thing anyway. Okay. The first word to match with Dawn, and we must remind you of the careless whisper too, Dawn, if you whisper any answers, you will be ejected from the game. Yeah. First word is Marge.

Simpson. any answers so you will be ejected from the game yeah first word is Marge Simpson horse oh there's a lot of options for that one well if you could pick one of them, that would be useful. Okay. Race. Horse race. That groaning from Dawn wasn't a happy one. Sorry, Dawn. What did you go for? Saddle.

Saddle. But you're right. It was wide. It was varied. Horse and cart. Cart was another one that popped in my head. Towel was word number three if we'll go through this. Dry. Sauce. S-A-U-C-E.

I see. Oh, tomato? And plant was the fifth and final word. Pot. Poplar. No? Okay. Oh, sorry. We didn't quite match up, Dawn. It's not your fault, it's my fault. Yeah, whatever you're doing today, Dawn, I know you're going to do it wonderfully.

Thank you so much for listening. Thanks for playing. Have a great day. Spy. The What's Up Spy.co.nz. Hopefully Ellen finds out before we do in Spy. But anyway, Juliette, she was fired, ruthlessly fired from the Watties factory production line because she was always spilling the beans.

And she's here to do that right now as Spy. What's going on? So you may remember, I think it was last year sometime, some leaked audio of Tom Cruise ruthlessly yelling at his cast and crew on Mission Impossible for not following COVID protocols. COVID ghost protocols. That audio. That would have been a great headline.

It's true, true. But that audio clip went viral. I don't ever want to see it again. Ever. And if you don't do it, you're fired. And if I see you do it again, you're f***ing gone. A brave soul who recorded him. Yeah, so he was yelling at the crew who had been obviously not following the COVID protocols.

But you were saying, John, he actually invested quite a lot of money into the movie. Millions. And millions into making it safe for everyone filming over the last 12 months too. So he had a personal investment in it. And I guess if you see someone who's jeopardising money and income for not only him, he's going to be fine. Tom Cruise will be fine. But everyone working on the set needs to provide for their families.

I'm pretty sure he hired a cruise ship that was like millions of dollars to house everyone, the cast and crew, so that they didn't go home to their families in case they spread. But anyway, there have been 14 positive COVID cases on the set of Mission Impossible, which means that the filming has been shut down and he and the rest of the cast and crew have had to self-isolate for 14 days. So after all that effort, I mean, he held out a pretty long time, not getting any COVID on the set, but 14 people,

and that's probably just the beginning of that. He was, did you, I got lost in a Tom Cruise internet hole just yesterday? Did you know he went to the seminary and he was studying to become a priest before he got into it? Oh, really? He was almost a priest. For Scientology though, right? Oh, no.

Just for the Catholic Church or whatever. Really? Yeah. Well, I guess he's now quite powerful in the Scientology Church. Yeah. He's followed his dreams can come true, kids. You too can be in Scientology. And Taika Waititi and Rhys Darby are now convening in the United States.

So Taika has wrapped filming Thor and Rhys Darby has wrapped filming The Masked Singer. So they've gone to the US to begin a new TV show together. It's called Our Flag Means Death, which is kind of described as a comedy drama about pirates and basically about this affluent man who ditches his life to become a pirate on a pirate ship. And so Rhys is the lead and Taika is directing. And I wonder if Rita Ora is also in the United States so we can keep following that love story.

I love Rhys Darby on The Masked Singer because he's in official checked out mode now. He's like, when someone is like, what's your guess, Rhys? He's like, oh, I don't care. I actually don't care. Is it Elvis Presley in that Tuatara costume? Probably. I don't know, Boris Johnson.

He's just plucking names out of the air. Probably saying what we were all kind of thinking. Oh God, I've given up so many of my guesses. Oh yeah, he didn't guess for two the other night. In a row, he was like... I don't know. He was like, I think it's someone from Shorten Street back in the day, but I don't know any other names.

So I just... He's like, I've literally named everyone I can remember who's been on television. And he was actually right. It was someone from Shorten Street back in the day, but he didn't obviously have any other names. Well, that's going to be a great show. It sounds absolutely ludicrous on the surface,

as everything does what Taiki does, but then when it comes off, you're like, it's genius. It's so good. Remember the one when he was playing Hitler? Yeah. And you read about that before it was released, and you're like, how is this going to work?

I know, but yeah. And then when you see it, that's a masterpiece. And that is Spy. For more, you can head to the hits.co.nz. Experts in semi-accurate, half-remembered information. Vaguely known information, but maybe not correct. Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast on the hits.

Now, earlier, we got given some new Lego, and we've got a bit of a competition that we've got to take part in. Now, this is the new Lego grand piano that we've each got to build. There's over 3,000 pieces. And both of us are going to be in a bit of a race. 3,662 pieces to be precise. Now it's a race between Ben and myself

to complete the grand piano. It actually functions. It functions. It plays music. Don't tell me it functions. Because if you say it functions that means there's a lot of construction that needs to take place. But yeah, anyway, we are going to be on a race. Whoever finishes this 3,000-odd-piece Lego piano first

will win something for the North or South Island. But you need to decide who's going to represent your islands. Yeah, so text right now if you want Jono or Ben to represent your islands. And one of us could be doing it and it's all to celebrate Lego's new video app so right now you can go on there, if you build these little new Lego kits they can connect up and you can play music

as well which is pretty awesome. And we can win over 300 packs of Lego for your island and it can go to a school, it can go to a worthy family of 300 people As I said that I was like that's a stupid suggestion go to a school, it can go to a worthy family of 300 people. As I said that, I was like, that's a stupid suggestion. But you can text Ben or Jono,

whoever you want to represent the North or South Islands. I'm quite intimidated by this box so far. I mean, I really love making Lego. It's a lot of box. It's a lot of Lego. Yeah. I don't think I've ever seen Lego that big. Listen, I barely I can barely accommodate what I need to require to do in my day Monday to Friday. Let alone adding a 3,000, 3,500 piece Lego set onto the side.

We're doing it. And then, oh, the name of a good cause. So if you want one of these new Lego video app, then right now uh ben or jono in the island and one of us could be uh winning you that you spent three years of your life building the millennium falcon you took it on holiday you put it in your car in a seat belt i did in the back seat your kids were in the boot this was the lego well they were no that was most of that was true i'm doing the boot part uh yeah that's how long it took me to build the lego millennium falcon so now looking at this uh box it makes me sort of...

Strap yourself in. Strap yourself in. You can text 4487. Who's going to represent North and South? I feel like we're getting so close to giving this away, cash and the car right now. A lot of people online reckon they've worked out exactly what their mount is.

They reckon they need to get through. Do you know, people are phoning through. Hayley is phoning through from Australia for this competition right now. It's gone international, baby, and what a wonderful combo of prizes. Cash and cars. And I see everywhere you turn, there's a billboard of the

cash and cars. And sometimes our face, my big pink face is on the big pink billboard. And it's frightening. Absolutely frightening. But yesterday they had a good one, which was a digital billboard with the figure, the last figure that had been guessed. Oh, really? Yeah, I thought that was quite good.

Quite interactive. It's drawing you into the competition as such. Well, so many people are drawn into the competition right now. So we're going to hand it over to Boss Todd in the garage. Yeah, Leah's on the phone from Palmerston North. Todd, how are you feeling? I'm nervous. I'm anxious.

But I'm excited for Leah. Good morning. Hey, how are you? I'm really good. So you're in the car with the kids at the moment, or you're getting ready for school, work? We are just, yeah, we're about to head out to the car. Hopefully we'll be heading out to tell everybody that we've got a new car.

Hopefully. All right, you've followed the clues. Give us how much cash do you think I've put in the back, and I'm going to say either yes, and that's what you want to hear, or higher or lower. $15,987.24. $15,987.24, which I do believe that may be Leah's child, but very well. Guys, I can tell you that it's lower.

Lower, lower. But hey, you've helped a lot of. Lower, lower. But hey, you've helped a lot of people there, Leah. You've helped so many people. I think there'll be people writing that down and going, oh my god, I'm even closer. Lucky them. Hopefully we can try again. You certainly can.

Back at 11.30, then at 3.30 and 5.30, it's the hits. Cash and Car, that gorgeous MG ZS Essence. And all the cash could be yours. Here we go, Boss Todd in the work garage playing higher or lower today, and he almost tried to explain higher or lower to us, but it's pretty self-explanatory.

I still don't know how it works. Happening all day, and it's lower than that wonderful child's guess there, and that car would have gone a long way for that child. Jono and Ben on the hits breakfast. Friends of Skinny.
