Jono, Ben & Megan - The Podcast - FULL: Would You Spend $20,000 On Your Dog?

Episode Date: August 14, 2022

Today on the Jono and Ben podcast, we chat to a lady who spent her house deposit getting her dogs back to New Zealand, our quest to get Peter Andre on the show continues and we ask what used to be respected but has lost that respect now... besides us!    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Hits with the Jono and Ben podcast. and I actually also played this really fun game. It's probably not the most hits for any game, but it's called pub golf and it's like equivalent of golf, but you go to nine different bars and do a different drink at every bar and then every sip you have counts as a shot and you have the same scorecard as you would for a golf game, but it's called pub golf. So it's kind of like golf for unathletic losers.

Yeah, great. New Zealand binge drinking at its finest. Yeah, I love it. Pretty sure there was a Pad Patty Gower documentary on. Now Joel is new to the show. New producer. Tell us one thing we don't know about you, Joel. We're slowly getting to know Joel.

We know he's very tall, Ben. He is very tall. How tall are you? Six foot six. Six six. I think I'm 199 centimetres. Yeah. Has that done you well in life or has it been a burden?

I think it's done me well. I mean, I remember when I was in high school, I used to be like, I don't want this much attention. Like, everything I do, everyone sees. But I think once I've come from high school, I think it's been a good thing in the last five years. Are you annoying for people at concerts? Yes.

Do you feel like... I feel very bad. I feel like I'm similar to you in the way that I feel bad about a lot of things as well. You're like, oh God, I'm going to be that person

singing in front of you. Sorry, sorry. Do you know, I saw that Travis Scott obviously performing again and we were watching a clip the other day of a couple of basketballers

were there. Oh, James Harden and Kevin Durant were at the show, yeah. Yeah, and a lot of comments going, imagine being the poor people sitting behind them

at the concert. I mean, you've got to, you know, two of the NBA's biggest. That would be a nightmare behind a basketball player. James Harden and bloody Kevin Durant. As being that high, do you see more stuff up there? Yeah, I feel like, especially at a concert.

I can stand at the back and I can still see probably as good as a five-foot person would have at the front. Have you walked into a door before? Yes, many times. And the new flat I've moved into as well, the doors must be about 195 centimetres. So I have to duck into my own door. And I remember at my old house, I used to quite often be running to make sure I get somewhere on time. And there's a couple of times I just completely pretty much concussed myself on doors. Jeez, because we don't have to factor in doors.

It's not a problem for us. Comfortably walk through a door without ever going, oh jeez. What is your average height of a door? I think two metres exactly is the average one for a lot. So you can scrape past a two metre door. Yeah, I can. But I feel like when you're running, you get a bit of a bounce on.

Yeah, true. You probably, yeah. It's unforgiving. There was one time at a concert. They should have that as an Olympic sport. Sorry to cut in. They're running through. Like, you have hurdles.

But the doors, you have to run through open doors. They get smaller and smaller. Yeah, geez, that would be exciting to watch. The power station in Auckland, if you're tall, do not jog down because it's really deceiving. I did it one time and I was seriously concussed for about a day. Through the main doors of the power station? Into the male's bathroom.

It's like you go down a ramp. Oh, you run up those stairs. Yeah, it's really deceiving and then boom. That's not something I've had to worry about. No, it's never been an issue for me. Yeah, that's interesting. Everyone's got their problems. Well, that's a good topic we should do on the radio.

You know, what we don't factor in about whether you're tall. Could it be small as well? But then is that preparing like making fun of little people? Yeah, exactly. Tall people feel like you can make fun of tall people for some reason. For some reason, eh? A lot of the time it's like, oh, you must be good at basketball.

Are you? And I was like, oh, I'm pretty shit at basketball. But everyone expects all the tall people to be good at basketball or to play basketball. I was like, indoor netball. Yeah, you're really good at that. Use my height in there, but no, I wish I was good at basketball.

Now, being that tall, if you could pick your perfect height, what would it be? Is it the height you are now? I think, yeah. You'd stay? I think a perfect height. I used to always be, I would like to be

a little bit smaller, just over six foot. But I think, you know what, I'm blessed with height so you've got to own it. It's a big thing as a kid though, I find. One of my daughters is,

you know, she's not as tall as she'd hoped she'd be, one of the smallest in the class, if not the smallest. And she's always like, oh, I'm not the smallest. But I was like, well, you're too young.

It doesn't really matter. You know, it doesn't matter at all. Like, no one, you know. But as a kid, you always feel like, oh, I'm not the smallest. But I was like, well, you're too young. It doesn't really matter. It doesn't matter at all. Like, no one, you know. But as a kid, you always feel like for some reason. It's a very important thing, isn't it, as a child? It doesn't matter at all. Yeah, also like pushing the pedestrian button or a lift button. Also very high on the priority list for a child.

It doesn't matter when you get to be an adult. Would you date a very, very short person? Well, my last girlfriend she was about 5 foot 2 5 foot 3 there's a big difference there yeah there's quite a big difference

so it's not an issue it's not no it's not I feel like I actually feel like a lot of tall people a lot of tall guys especially

are weirdly attracted to small girls you see a lot of the NBA I guess obviously they're all small but there's like some of them have like 4'11 girlfriends and stuff

which is yeah 411 411 you just made that up anyway I'll show you the photo yeah totally made it

no you might be right I don't know yeah on the podcast today we're very excited because after the show today Jono's about to perform for The Office a special performance and we reflect on that

in all its glory on the podcast. Have a listen. The Hits' best song ever. We are looking for the best song of all time. We're putting the best songs head-to-head after 9 o'clock. We rip right back into another round of battles. The top 16 are going to be decided today, which is very exciting, but we are annoyed.

Our favourite song, Peter Andre's Mysterious Girl. You know this song. They're gone. Gone in the first round. And we're pretty upset about that. Shock elimination. Now, he has become a friend of the show over the years, Peter Andre. And we felt a responsibility to our friendship to try and get him back in to the best song ever.

Now, Ben, you came up with two options. The first one being for me to hand him my resignation. You said you'd do anything. And I said, well, anything? You're like, yep. I said, resign. And that was my,

and you're like, well, not anything. So you're really, yeah. And the other option, you said, okay, if you won't resign, I need you Shirtless Like the Mysterious Girl video Performing to the entire office At an awkward morning tea

That you would provide Alison Hulse sausage rolls for Yeah And so that's Due Scheduled to take place I think 11.30 tomorrow In the big lounge here

That we have at work And I'm starting to think You're not doing this to get peter andre back in the countdown you're doing this to humiliate well that's just the vibe i'm picking up no matt matt one of the bosses here at the hits radio station said if you do this he will wild card peter andre uh potentially back into the competition which is good we even got peter andre's permission he sent through a voice message a a voice memo? Hey, guys. Yeah, man. Of course.

Definitely. Let's get that song back out there. Love that. Just electric energy there from Andre. Sorry, it might be too much energy as you're driving to work on a Monday morning there. Lots to take in. Lots to download there. But so we've got the full backing, I think, of Peter Andre for this thing. So we came in yesterday.

You wanted to run through some rehearsals. Colonel Tom yesterday. You wanted to run through some rehearsals. Colonel Tom Parker over here wanted to run through some rehearsals. Yeah, you wanted to travel overseas and perform, and I was like, mate, keep it local. I've got visa issues. I can't have you performing offshore. Keep it local, guys. So we're going to keep it local, very local, at work.

I can't even leave the building, so we're going to keep it local, very local at work. I can't even leave the building. So we're going to keep it very local. But yesterday you brought in 1.5 litres of baby oil. Yeah, I oiled you up like the Peter Andre video. We went through rehearsals. We did some dance moves. But the thing is when Peter Andre's oiled up, he looks magnificent. He does. When I oil, I just look out of shape and sweaty.

He's just come from cardio at the gymnasium or something. Yeah, like if you were swimming in the beach, you'd be like another one of those Rena disasters. A lot of oil spills everywhere. You know when you go into the ocean, there's just that murky sort of oily on top of the surface. So we had you all oiled up and you were singing along to Peter Ong. I think we got some, we're recording along so we can listen back.

This is Jono, you know, singing along to the music. And to be fair, you sounded okay. You know, we'll get to this bit. I said tonight is your lucky night. Not much enthusiasm there. Peter Andre along with Bubba Ranks on the mic. I stop and stare at you walking on the shore. Oh, dear God.

I try to concentrate. My mind wants to explode. Very sexual. The tropical Santa. So not bad. Not bad. Not bad. Not bad.

But what we can do through the technology is we can, you know, we really want to hear it in its full glory. So let's eliminate the music. Oh, don't do this. Which we can do. Don't do the Ben. Ben. Ben.

Don't. Please. No. There's a little bit. Please don't do this to me. Oh, God. And girl, I want to make you mine. I want to be with a woman just like you. Whoa.

And no doubt I'm your only man. Whoa. Who can love you like I can. Whoa. So just let me be with the woman that I love. Oh. Very shouty. Because you had it loud in your headphones too.

So that's tomorrow. It's happening tomorrow. Again, I don't feel like I've got the full, I don't feel like you're on my team here. I am on your team. Me and Peter Andre, we've got 100% enthusiasm for the project. Can we hear Peter Andre again? Yeah, he's enthusiastic, isn't he?

Hey, guys. Yeah, man. Of course. Definitely. Let's get that song back up there. Love that. That's happening tomorrow. With a long and extinguished career,

Jono and Ben on the hits. The All Blacks, what a turnaround. A great performance over the weekend, beating South Africa 35-23 over there, which was great to see after all the pressure, all the fans getting stuck into the coach and the players. But it was awkward at the end of the game, wasn't it, when Jeff Olsen was sidelined on Sky Sport and he had Ian Foster.

He was like, congratulations, but then he asked him this question. You're at home tomorrow, or you'll celebrate tonight, and you should celebrate. Please tell me you're going to. But in two weeks time, do you expect to be the All Blacks coach

against Argentina? I've got no idea. So I'm just going to enjoy tonight. Thanks, mate. Thanks, mate. Thanks, mate. Thanks, mate.

Good question, mate. Thanks, mate. I didn't want to ask. Sorry, mate. Yeah, yeah. You wouldn't want to ask. Because you tell Jeff also, it was a long runway to the question.

Yeah. He tried to sort of go, have a good night tonight. You deserve to have a good night tonight. I hope you do. Yeah, I hope you do. He definitely didn't want to ask that question. There was someone in his ear going,

ask the question. Ask the question. Oh, no. But, you know, it's one of those jobs, isn't it, that I feel like we haven't treated with enough respect over the last couple of weeks, Ian Foster. No. The amount of pressure the whole team, but in particular him, being zeroed out,

was mentioned on the show Friday. Think of his family, friends, neighbours, his local butcher. Think of all these people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we probably needed to give it more respect and it got me thinking over the weekend about you know jobs professions that is you know have lost respect over the years and you wouldn't find a better one than radio back in the day it was probably one of the most respected forms of communication a radio announcer was a distinguished job and thanks to people like you and me you and me thanks to

hundreds of wax-based stunts you know inflammatory comments just said to get a reaction out of you you know we've ruined the industry yeah we've lost like radio's lost all respect but there also other better industries have come along too you know what was once the pinnacle of broadcasting i mean we love it don't get us wrong but you know that's was once the pinnacle of broadcasting. I mean, we love it, don't get us wrong, but you know, it's probably not. What about the internet? You know, when the internet first started, this new platform, we could all talk

to each other and communicate with each other. Now we just use it to send nudes and bully all black coaches. Yeah, you're right. That's what we use the internet for. The person who bends the internet will go, this is not what I intended at all. We've lost respect for the internet. Doesn't mean to be communicating around the world, all these amazing things, bring us all closer.

Oh, I didn't need to see that of yours. Why do you have to send it like that? The US president, that's a job that's lost respect, hasn't it? Now it's just sort of more of a comedy role, isn't it? Well, yeah, it has been a little bit over the last little while. The main role is to provide amusing clips for us to play on the radio, the US President. So this is what we want to open up.

0800 the hits, 4487. Yeah, things that were probably once had a lot of respect and now maybe not quite as much. It doesn't have to be a job in particular. Like you say before, it could be something like the internet, which was the pinnacle. And now you're like, oh, we're really, we're sorry. I'm sorry, internet. We're sorry. What they should do is they should take the internet, which was the pinnacle. And now you're like, oh, we've really, we've sullied that. I'm sorry, internet.

We're sorry. What they should do is they should take the internet away from us and go, hey, now guys, we're going to do a reset. We're going to give you a second chance. Everything's been wiped. Hey, this is take two, everyone. Starting all over again, all right? Hard-hitting interviews and informed opinion.

Mike Hosking on Newstalk ZV. In the meantime, Jono and Ben on the hits. Some great texts coming through on 4487. The young people of today. Young people who have no respect. They want to get onto a job, get paid $40 an hour. Yeah, okay. Yeah, but you're talking to you, Joel. Yeah, producer Joel.

$40, I could only dream of that. Don't get ideas in his head about $40 an hour, mate. $40 a week. Now that's what will pull you through. Yeah, that's right. But you've got to cost a living inflation. You know, it's... I'm sorry, you know, you're lucky to be here, mate. Here's another Prezi card, buddy.

Celia, we'll get you on. Welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast. What you used to have great respect, but now doesn't? Good morning. So, I feel like airplanes used to have really good respect you know it's kind of like a fancy thing to do but now it's like with covid everywhere you're going into this covid box yeah no good point and and you know again we've ruined it we ruined the internet people started fornicating up here. Yeah, it was true. All sorts of stuff. It was a distinguished way to travel back in the day.

It was. Back in the day, it was like a first-class business. And then we're like getting in the Jetstar toilets. People wearing their Ugg boots and their bloody track pants. Sticking their bare feet through the seats. Yeah, you're right, actually. We've ruined flying. You're right.

We've ruined a respected industry. We were complaining about being on hold for 19 hours for Air New Zealand. Hey, we'll get Hannah on from Auckland. What used to have great respect, Hannah? What used to have great respect for you, Hannah? Oh, sorry. I was just saying we really have lost respect for people who are serving our country in emergency services. You know, they're really badly underpaid. They work really unsocial hours to serve our country in emergency services. You know, they're really badly underpaid.

They work really unsocial hours to serve our country. And they're at risk of being assaulted on the job every day here. You are, you know, you are dead right. And I'm so proud of myself. Halfway through that I was going to go, I'll stop banging on about it and hang up to pretend that we didn't have

respect for you. But I didn't do that. I held back Ben Boyce. No, you're dead right did right hannah you are and the nurses as well doctors absolutely yeah often getting abused and you know late night incidents yeah hey what do you do oh i'm just a student at the moment but um i was studying um health sciences but it's pretty rough just seeing what happens even just to students out on the front line in the healthcare sector. You are dead right. Stuff really does need to change.

You are dead right, Hannah. Amen, what a great call. Lost respect there. We need to get it back. You're dead right. Josh, you're on. Welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast. What do we used to hold in high regard and now don't?

Smoking cigarettes. Like, it used to be such a glamorous thing, and, you know, all the race cars and stuff used to be sponsored by it, and now it's, like, not even a highly respected thing anymore. No, we need to get the cigarettes. We need to get their respect back. No, we don't need to get it back.

No, it's a very good thing. But you're right. Back in the day, very sophisticated act, wasn't it? Now they put photos of rotting lungs on a packet and stuff like that. Oh, the poor ciggy industry, eh? Don't say the poor ciggy industry. No, you're right, Josh. Hey, well, thank you very much for your calls.

Really appreciate it. Someone's texted in 4487. No one's got any respect for car groomers. Car groomers. Every day we're out here making your car look fantastic and no one gives us any respect,

someone said. Also on 4487, I've lost all respect for Cadbury chocolate. Oh. For Cadbury. Oh, they moved their stuff offshore,

didn't they? Ah, gotcha. Yeah, no, there we go. Well, thank you very much for your calls and texts. And no one's lost respect. Oh, no, there's a couple for us. There we much for your calls and texts. And no one's lost, oh, no, there's a couple for us. There we go. Yeah, full fruit.

So I was like, well, we managed to get through that without any, and no, no, we didn't. It is the hits. You got John on, Ben. Looking for a pair of below average husbands? Ta-da! It's John Owen Penn on the hits. Now, rates.

Council rates. There was a wonderful survey that came out From a council I think it was about six months ago They did a little bit of a survey They said we're going to put the rates up We're thinking of putting the rates up I can tell you the answer to the survey Would you like the rates to go up a little or a lot?

Those are the two options Going up not at all wasn't even an option Wasn't even an option No one wants the rates to go up But then what do you know They didn't go up a little. They went up a lot. Who ticked a lot?

Who ticked a lot? One vote from a P. Goff. Anyway, so we got our rates bill and there was a fine attached to it. A late fee fine. And I was like, well, we never got this bill. We never got this bill.

I'm going to phone the council and I said to she and my wife, I'm going to give them peace of my mind. Really? You're all fired up, are you? I said peace of my mind, which is usually designated to the 70-plus audience phoning Newstalk ZB. I was like, okay, I'm going to give them peace of my mind. She said, you go and do that.

Okay? I said, you go off, I'll deal with this. Right. Phoning the council. Were you on hold for like three hours? Listening to all of New Zealand, all of Dave Dobbins' greatest hits. But it wasn't anything compared to any New Zealand hold line. And while the music's

playing, I'm thinking, jeez, I'm gearing up for the roasting of a lifetime. I'm rehearsing. I'm like, yeah, first of all, you said you were at the radio. Had it all. Had it all. It was about to end. So were you going to go zero to 100 or just come straight in at 100?

Like, what was the plan? I was going to come in at 100. You're right. Okay. Typical council. Yeah. Fluff it up, Edmund. Oh, you finally answered, didn't you?

Oh, yeah. Oh, it was all, you know how it was going to play out. Yeah, yeah. The lady answered, and she was just so lovely. She's like, hi, welcome to the council. And boy, I was ready. I was ready. Oh, welcome.

Yeah, okay. Oh, welcome. Hope you're having a nice day. And I was like, nice day. Okay. And then from that point on, I couldn't yell at this lady. I didn't even yell at her once. I was like, oh, hi, how are you?

I think there's been a little bit of a mistake. We've been charged late fees. She's like, oh no, that's no good. Yeah, it's a little bit of an inconvenience. She's like, oh that's terrible. I'm sorry. Sometimes people aren't getting their mail at the moment because of the post. I was like, oh really? And she

could not have been more helpful. She was like, listen, we'll waive the late fee. Don't you worry about that. And she was just gorgeous. And I was like, you're going to have a lovely day. She's like, you have a nicer day. She's hung up.

Gen phone. She's like, give them a piece of your mind. I was like, boy, oh boy, did I what? Got results. Yeah, got results. Got the fees gone. Yeah, they got it. Oh did I watch. Got results. Yeah, got results. Got the fees gone. Yeah, they got it. Oh, I tell you what, they won't want to hear from me again. That'll be the last the council messes with prior.

Tell you that. He's got results. If you're here for parenting advice, you're in big trouble. Jono and Ben on the hits. When I was a kid, my sister and I, our favourite show was The Simpsons. You know, growing up was The Simpsons. What I love is you watch it now and you're like,

ooh, it's quite racy in parts, isn't it? You get all the gags now. You get a lot more than you did when you were watching it as a kid. But I loved it so much. Even got excited when TVNZ2 would play that little Do The Bartman five-minute song all the time. Must have been in between programs. Everybody do the Bartman. Kind of like a Michael Jackson-esque sort of

it was actually wasn't it do the Bartman yeah I had that on cassette tape now producer Joel do you know what a cassette tape is what sorry that was the appropriate answer wasn't it yeah so I love the Simpsons and now my kids you know they've really got

into the Simpsons it's on Disney+, and they love it. So it's a show that we kind of watch together, which is really cool, actually. 30 years it's been going. Yeah. It has been battling away. Well, not battling away. It's doing very well.

Yeah, it's still doing some great stuff, and you probably missed a few series here and there, so it's been really cool to watch it. But my daughter, Indy, my youngest daughter, has to do assignments. They're working their way through the alphabet, and they keep getting to the next letter, and then they have to choose something based on the letter.

So a couple of weeks ago, there was like M, letter M. They were up to M, and so she did meerkat. So you can choose an animal. You can choose a person. You can choose a place, whatever it is based on the letter. What are they going to do when they get to X? Well, yeah, things are going to get a little tricky. X-rated.

X-rated. I looked through my dad's computer. Here's my project. X-rated assignment. Maybe they won't get that far. But at the moment, they're doing O. And so she's looking up. She was like, I'll do a quick Google to have a look at, you know,

like a famous person, maybe a famous place, maybe something to do with O. And then she comes into me and she's like, Dad, Dad, you know, you love The Simpsons, do you? And I was like, yeah was like yeah she goes i want to do it on the simpsons character i'm like but i don't know which one it is i'm like okay who's this oj simpson the creator of the simpsons which simpsons carry was oj simpson because i've seen a lot of it but i don't know and i'm like and you know you want to explain to a 10-year-old, but you also don't want to get into too many details about alleged court cases and all sorts of grim stuff.

And you're like, hey, maybe not. It's a gritty project. It's a gritty project. It's got some weight behind it. Yeah, I was like, yeah, maybe not. So did you talk her out of doing the OJ Simpson? I said, hey, there's some bad stuff going on, allegedly, and whatever. You know, maybe just think of that.

Not to do with the Simpsons. Yeah, so maybe give that one a miss. So she has, thank goodness. Otherwise, you're like, oh, God. Well, there's a few cheeky letters still coming up, too. I mean, you get to the R's. Yeah. Certain musician behind bars.

Yeah, maybe not. No, OK, we're wrapping that up. Jeez, all right, it's the hits. Jono and Ben. If you're looking for marriage advice, you are in the wrong place. Jono and Ben on the hits. Now, Hayley, who works for the hits in Wellington,

had an amazing claim on Friday for us. Yeah, she married her now husband in an extraordinarily short period of time. Have a listen. Yeah, it was quite quick. We freaked out our family and friends a little bit. We just met each other. It was just different to what we kind of,

you know, other previous relationships. And we got engaged after seven weeks and then married seven weeks after that. There you go. So still married seven years later. Three little sproggs running around. Couldn't be happier, Ben. And sometimes in life, if you don't think too hard about it,

it's the best thing you can do. But also in the same breath, sometimes in life, if you don't think too hard about it, it's the worst thing you can do. Yeah. So sometimes think and sometimes don't think is the lesson out of that. But yes, someone emailed us over the weekend and said, I heard Hayley. I can actually beat Hayley quicker than Hayley,

and we managed to track him down first thing on a Monday morning. Terry's his name. How are you? I hate it that you already know my name, eh? I know. It's weird. We know a lot about you, Terry.

Won't give out you a pospin just now, though. But, Terry, from meeting to marriage, the quickest time, what was it for you? We were, what, five weeks. Ah, that's quick. What was it? Well, why did you know? Why did you know that this was the one? Time, mate.

I'd been separated for two years, and I had a two-and half year old and a five year old kid, they all just clicked. Right, so it was all good. You're like, well the last one went so well, I'm going to go back for round two. Oh, nah, nah. You know when you have two years to sort of sort out, well maybe it didn't go so good and maybe why didn't it go so good?

So you guys are still together now after getting married in five weeks? 22 years, mate. 22 years. That is incredible. What a wonderful story. Yeah. Was there hesitation?

You're like, this is moving quite quick, Terry. Yeah, especially jumping back in, I imagine. We're having kids and stuff as well. Okay. So I had a good mate that I lived with, and we went to the beach with a couple of young ladies that he had met. I quite liked one of the ones he had brought to the beach with a couple of young ladies that he had met. I quite liked one of the ones he had brought to the beach. And, yeah, it took me a couple of weeks to actually get her to come and go out with me again.

So it was like two weeks in before we even saw each other again. So we were probably down to a four-week window that we managed to get married. So after that first initial meeting, two weeks, and then from there, four weeks until marriage. Bam. Wow. I introduced her to my parents. We drove down to Hamilton to introduce my parents to her and just let them know we were

getting married. How did they take that? Well, you know. I understand. You're a grown adult. You make your own choices. it's like one of those awkward scenes at the beginning of married at first sight when they all left if they forced the kid they've soulless tv producers forced them to go and tell their parents and they film it all pretty much

pretty much like most of our friends didn't actually believe what we were doing so a couple of my mates didn't actually turn up to our ceremony terry's having a laugh. Well, that's awesome. I'm so glad that you found someone that you're together with 22 years. That's incredible. Dude, every day is good fun. Oh, that's amazing. That's wonderful, Terry.

Hey, well, you're going to have a great day. Appreciate your time. You too, mate. There you go, Terry. Thank you very much. I'll tell you what, if you're getting married that quick, you'd want to be pretty sure

that the person you're asking to marry is on the same page. Yeah, well, true. Because, you know, many of those cases, they'd be like, no, no. What are you thinking? We've known each other for seven days. Oh, sorry.

I got completely the wrong end of the stick. I misheard that. Scrolling through your feed. All right, it's time for your messy morning update from the news bulletin. What's happening over there in our one-man newsroom? Well, I mentioned there's a big Hollywood star in Wellington at the moment. It was very

cool. Lisa Kudrow, of course, played Phoebe in Friends. She's in New Zealand. She was spotted at a Wellington restaurant Loretta on Cooper Street on Friday night. Now, it's our responsibility as commercial radio breakfast hosts to put a bounty on her to call through. 20 bucks. I put it out earlier this morning.

20 bucks to get Kudrow on the phone. Why can't we just leave her be and just act cool? Why in New Zealand we get so excited, don't we? I don't like to act cool. We get excited. I like to bully them so much that they never want to return. We even got mentioned on the Daily Show in America

over the weekend. This was making news as well. Trevor Noah, who's very funny on the Daily Show, was talking about New Zealand being renamed. Yeah, Maori politicians have launched a campaign to restore one of the country's original names, Aotearoa, right? Yeah, and... I think we can all be honest.

Like, they didn't put a lot of thought into naming it New Zealand in the first place. Yeah, colonisers were so late. This is New Zealand. This is New England. New York. Zero effort. Oh, wonderful.

So we had the te reo pronunciation of a South Island farmer. Yeah, not quite there as well, but still. But we're getting a shout out. Yeah. That's the important thing. Yeah, that's what we love. Because it's a good Monday for New Zealand. Kudro here.

We're getting mentioned. Because people, they forget about us easily, don't they? Oh, no. It's nice to be mentioned. And this is a very unusual story coming out of eastern Turkey. So a two-year-old toddler playing in her backyard in a family home. She was out there by herself. The parents heard her start it.

She started screaming. They rushed out to see what was going on. They found a 50-centimeter snake in her mouth. 50-centimeter snake in her started, she started screaming. They rushed out to see what was going on. They found a 50 centimetre snake in her mouth. 50 centimetre snake in her mouth. Inside her mouth. So, yeah, well, basically what had happened was she was playing with the pet snake, and then...

It was a pet. Well, no, playing, sorry, it was just a wild snake, sorry. Playing with the snake, for some reason it was playing with the snake, and then the snake bit her on the lip, and she didn't like that, and she bit the snake back. Unfortunately for the snake, the snake actually perished and but the little toddler's okay and in the hospital after some 24 hours of observation so yeah condolences to uh the snakes friends and family there what a way to go what a way to go must have been a vicious bite yeah right on your lip and kudono getting a win back for us too with the snake

community they get they get a lot of they got a lot getting a win back for us too With the snake community They got a lot of points on the board The snakes when it comes to human attacks Don't they? I was watching, I got lost in a YouTube hole yesterday About, you know, the world's biggest snake Snakes and crocodiles now Are just tiny compared to their ancestors

Back in the day There was a snake One metre wide 50 metres long Back in the day. There was a snake one metre wide, 50 metres long back in the day. Was it 50 metres? 50 metres. Was it 50 metres long? 50 metres long.

It wasn't 50 metres. Research it. It was called, it was like the anaconda, Trojan anaconda or something. Snake is 50 metres long. I know he's Googling it. No, you see him research it.

Yeah, no, it's like a Trojan anaconda or something. Google that. There's a snake that's a cord that you plug in stage equipment. That's 50 metres long. A lot of those. A USB cord. Yeah. The snake USB cord.

Yeah, if you want to get, you know, 50 metres from the stage, well, that's handy. I mean, that's handier than a 50 metre, one metre water seat. Have a look. I'll do a bit more research as well, but not right now live on the radio. People go to a lot of links for their pets. They love their fur babies, don't they? They do, yeah. We spoke to someone at the end of last week

who, we'll have a listen, pushes the puppy around in a pram. We're going to go to Ashley first, Joel, or are we going to go to the other one? What do you want to do? Let's go to Ashley. Let's go to Ashley. We actually spoke to Ashley.

I am a clear midwife, and she'd just had her first hate. We knew she'd never been anywhere near another dog, so we were like, there's no way she could be pregnant. But just before Christmas, she started licking her nipple, and it looked really weird. But she was having a phantom pregnancy, so for the whole of Christmas,

we had to deal with her thinking she was about to have puppies. She was licking Milky for a little bit to like, and to break a little bit off because she was getting a bit sore. It was a whole thing. Oh, you had to milk a little bit off because she was getting a bit sore. It was a whole thing. Oh, you had to milk your puppy? Yeah. That's commitment to your pets. I mean, that's what you have to do when you love your animals.

So just the action of... Oh, don't ask follow-up questions. The action of having to... I imagine you just use your thumb and your forefinger, do you? It's very similar to how you express colostrum on a human. It's just a finger thumb action. Finger thumb and you're just kind of back and forth. Yeah, okay.

Well, we're learning how to do that today. We've learned how to milk a puppy. If I needed to be... Don't stop. Would you do it? We've already gone down the road of... I'm just asking. I'd do it for you. If things need to be, we've already gone down the road of, you know. You. I'd do it for you. I'd do it for you. Yeah, thank you. If things need to be, we've already gone down a road of, you know.

You know, Ben getting nervous towards the end there. Yeah. And then we spoke to this lady who, have a listen what she does with a pram. So I have a little puawa. She's like a feisty

little diva chihuahua. And I have a car seat in the back of my car because she demands that I see out the window. And I take her around the lake in the pram. She's she demands that I see out the window and I take her around the lake in the pram she's got a special design pram you push her in in a pram yes and I take her hiking up in the bush in a little front pack yeah and I even have to give her a dinner

place at dinner otherwise I can't eat and pee so there you go and can I just make an apology to the dog kingdom as a whole? We've really taken a lot of respect and dignity away from you, haven't we? I mean, other dogs will be looking at their dog in a pram going, mate, mate, I'm sorry. Or maybe those are the ones that other dogs are jealous about. Yeah, I know Poppy, my daughter, she pushes Alan around in a pram. I can tell he's like, this doesn't feel natural.

This doesn't feel how it's supposed to be. So we had heaps of texts and emails actually flooding in after we put those two calls to air. The links you've gone to help your animal. One involving tens of thousands of dollars. We're going to get

to next. You're essential listening for non-essential banter. Jono and Ben on the hits. Now I don't know if I've spoken about this guy who's

in my neighbourhood and he just walks. Have I mentioned the walking guy? No. He is constantly walking. So he will,

from what I gather, like I saw him driving to work this morning and I'll see him driving home from work today. Oh you saw him, you were driving but he was walking. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. yeah yeah and he walks to do a 5k lap down one side of the

footpath across the road then go up another 5k and just continuously wow just he's like a slow slower forest cop yeah that's pretty cool continuously walking yeah good on him good on him but what was also impressive is he smokes at the same time. So he's smoking. Do you know who I'm talking about, Joel? Have you seen him? Is he the old guy with short shorts on in a beard? Or is it a different one? Oh, no, I know the old guy with short shorts.

He's fit looking. He's got a beard down to his belly button. Yeah, he doesn't smoke. He's just a fit walker. No, but this guy, I've never not seen him walk out. I don't know if he stops walking. It's an amazing feat. Have you got anyone like that in your neighborhood? Well, not someone that walks.

No. But then when you're like, I can't think of anyone in the neighborhood, then maybe I'm the person in the neighborhood. You know, when you're like, well, who's the person in the neighborhood that people talk about? Maybe that's me. I'd like to be that person when I'm older. Oh, there's the old man pride.

I'm wandering around without. You'd be doing something to something to keep yeah i don't know what it would be walking to the nearest liquor store or something like that like walking a rock on a leash or something like that yeah i'd love to be that one of them because every neighborhood's got one and you just you welcome them in don't you so i don't know what's bringing spice and character to the neighborhood that sort of thing. But yeah, like I say, the smoking part impresses me most because you're getting cardio. So maybe he wants to smoke, but he's cancelling it out with the walking and things. Well, you know.

Less lung cancer if I'm... Yeah, the more I walk, the more I can smoke. He's not worried about his 10,000 steps a day. I'll say that. He'll be walking now. I want to talk to him. Maybe I should go up and talk and say, where are you going? When does it stop?

Yeah. Where's the finish line? Well, let's find out before the end of the week. A-grade celebrity chat with C-grade celebrity hosts. Jono and Ben on the hits. Right now on 3 Now is the new reality dating show, Heartbreak Island. It features some Kiwis and a whole lot of people from around the world

looking for love. It was filmed in Fiji and hosted by Clinton Randall, you'll know from The Masked Singer. And joining us in the studio right now, a couple of people that have thrown themselves onto the show, Mears and Millie. How are you guys going? Good, thank you. It's nice to have you guys here. It's like you were saying you filmed this a wee while ago, so all of a sudden it's going to be all over the screens and worldwide as worldwide as well it's pretty crazy to think about yeah i think that was the most exciting part was it being an international cast does it obviously opens the door up for americans australia with the people from the uk there as well yeah it was the united nations of hot people stuck on an island yeah so maroon on island an island we spoke to Clinton who hosted the show

Clinton Randall who people will know from the Masked Singer and he was explaining the whole resort was locked down staff no one could leave

nope yeah we had the whole island to ourselves yeah kind of felt like Shutter Island it was a little weird when we first came in

there's worse places to be stuck that's for sure it was beautiful in Fiji right on the island Fiji and it's five star man like everything the chef the food the location it was just gorgeous man that's cool jeez they would

they would have had to give it a good old hosing down after what is the price 100 grand 100 000 okay yeah and so the the format or the actual like how does the game work like how do you get to the point where you win 100k so essentially essentially there's a bunch of challenges. It's almost like Survivor meets Love Island. Yeah, that's the best way to explain it because we're not just sitting around lounging

talking about our feelings the whole time. We're actually getting in there and doing some challenges, arguing, loving each other, hating each other. Is there some conflict?

There's so much drama. I have never had so much drama in my entire life Since high school Condensed into such A short space of time Think about it right

We've got no clocks We've got no watches We've got no television No phones Nothing It's just You're purely present 24-7 So there's nothing to talk about

Other than what's going on They turn the clocks away We didn't know the time of the day What day it was What month we were in Yeah yeah You get a little delusional Yeah Is this the You know the little delusional. Yeah.

It's just the soulless reality TV producers. They take every trying to bamboozle you. Yeah. I think that's the point. How mental can we make these people? So you throw yourself in there basically for a good couple of months. Yeah. Like this show is crazy. It's awesome. There's so much drama.

It's so fire. Because sometimes as a viewer when you're watching these shows, the Love celebrity treasure islands whatever you're like why are these people so invested like why is this but then when you put it like this that everything's stripped away from you it becomes your world absolutely we've been explaining it as in a pressure cooker environment so everything you feel in there is heightened I used to think why are they crying on there like you've known it for four days but actually experiencing that I understand it did you cry after four days I did I remember four days is like three months out here yeah you got a real time move so slow you got nothing to do other than have drama do your interviews and

play the challenge and it's crazy man actually speaking of in your bio you said that you can have the ability to see sound waves what does that mean? it's just synesthesia man like I see

when I experience music I experience them in colours and shapes really? Kanye does the same yeah I mean it's not something you do

don't get him started oh really have I opened up something he does so does Lorde so does Pharrell there's quite a few people, actually. And there's different levels to synesthesia

and different ways you can experience it. She's like, I've heard about this on this island. I can't go to you. For three months, I've heard about this. And do you find people from different countries have different approaches to the game? Absolutely. It was quite an eye-opening experience

in terms of culture and world views. And also dating as well. It's different, you know, how we date in New Zealand compared to overseas. I think for me the biggest challenge was the American culture in terms of how they go about dating. We're polar opposite. Totally. We're quite laid back and chill,

and some things you really take the wrong way. Yeah. And I think this is a good thing. We could do more of it here in New Zealand, but they're confident and they back themselves, don't they, the Americans? You talk to your friend in America, you think they're a celebrity.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. In New Zealand, we're head down there. I think that's a personality thing, though. Yeah, like me, for example. I grew up in New Zealand, but I'm black, I'm African. I grew up here, but I'm very immersed in the black culture. Yeah, growing up, I found it hard to fit in. It was hard.

Like being a Kiwi, I didn't quite fit the profile. So being in such a diverse environment was so fire for me because I could literally truly be me and I wasn't sore thumb sticking out. I spent half the time thinking, what the hell am I doing here? And now you're like oh now you're here. Yeah now I'm here and I'm in it and it's really alive. You study criminology as well? Yeah I do.

Preschool teacher as well? Same IQ as Albert Einstein in your bio as well. Yes. She's smart smart. I should probably retake that test but um. No that's good it sounds good. Yeah it's not really how I expected my life to go in this direction I'm very much set. And I still will stay on that path of what I want to do as a career.

But this is just added to it. That's cool. She's smart, smart. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She's one of them ones. Well, you both seem like lovers. Good luck for Heartbreak Island. Good luck for the upcoming storm.

I'm ready for it, bro. I'm ready for it. Thank you for having us. It's Monday morning and we like to motivate People on a Monday It's just another Motivational Monday No one is more Motivated this morning

So I thought, well, why not play this this morning? Good luck with the beeps, Producer Joel.

Look, man, wake up. Wake your asses up. And not only wake up, but wake up with the mindset of being better than you were last week. If you wake up this week and you're not trying to be better than you were last week, then go back to bed. Lay your ass back down. Okay, go back to effing bed.

Yeah. Lay your ass down. If you're not trying to be better this week than you were last week, why do I feel like I've just had a telling off from Kevin Hart? Oh, that's why.

Yeah, he did sound a little bit like, wait, you know, it's like... I think we all just got a roasting from Kevin Hart. It's going back to bed. Was that one of the options?

Well, that is an option according to him. If you're not going to be better than you were last week, go back to bed. Well, I might take that one. Is that okay? Well, that is an option according to him. If you're not going to be better than you were last week, go back to Peter. I might take that one. Is that okay? Well, it's okay.

Would you like to go back to Peter right now? It's an option. He's offering it up. He's offering it up. It's a nice option, isn't it? Yeah. Or are you going to be better than last week? What about just the same as it was last week?

I'm pretty consistent week to week. Consistently, like you set the bar low and you can achieve that level of consistency. Maybe we do need to be better than we were last week. I'm pretty consistent week to week. Consistently, like, you set the bar low and you can achieve that level of consistency. Maybe we do need to be better than we were last week. There we go. Well, we all just got told off by Kevin Hart. Lines are blurry between motivation and abuse. Scrolling through your feed.

Alrighty, breaking news. It's Ben Boyce, the most nervous of all the news readers. Come on down, mate. Well, the All Blacks, after being in the middle of a media storm, many fans weighing in, a lot of opinions floating around, it was great to see the All Blacks win over the weekend. Great victory in South Africa.

35-23 win, snapping a three-game losing run for the All Blacks. So it was awesome to see. And just a great reminder that sometimes in sport you lose some games and then you win some games. Now, it doesn't mean that coach Ian Foster, I feel really sorry for Ian Foster. Everyone's talking about basically his job, his income, what's going on in his life. Imagine if

everyone started talking, like you're driving to work right now, Ben, you're sitting at work. Imagine if everyone was banging on about getting rid of you. What have I done? I'm just doing my job here. That can't be a very nice feeling. There was a strange press conference yesterday from the New Zealand Rugby Union after the game. They kind of refused to endorse Ian Foster's future as coach.

Said it would be determined once the team arrives home next week, even after the game. We've got that audio floating around. So this is after the game. The All Mix have won. Ian Foster's out there on the field. They're congratulating for the win. And then they throw out this awkward question.

You're at home tomorrow. Well, you'll celebrate tonight, and you should celebrate. Please tell me your gains of it. But in two weeks' time, do you expect to be the All Blacks coach against Argentina? I've got no idea. So I'm just going to enjoy tonight.

Thanks, mate. Appreciate it. Thanks, mate. Cheers, mate. Funny. End of the day. I'm sorry for that awkward question, mate. Thanks, mate.

Yeah, no, they made me ask it mate love ya I guess they kind of had it in a way but it just felt a bit you could tell

who was asking the question Jeff Olsen you could tell Jeff wasn't fully confident he probably didn't want to ask

especially after one yeah the producer's making me ask ask him about that you ask him about that you do it I don't want to

you want to hear the answer you ask him and over the You do it. I don't want to. You want to hear the answer, you ask him. Yeah, and over the weekend, actually, the NPCs going on down at Invercargill, there was a fire alarm that went off. Have a listen. For the amount of time we've had people on this coverage, like you spoke about, we've been doing this for a very, very long time. We've been around a decent amount of time, too.

They had this happen the first time ever. It's quite fuzzy. Not the first rodeo, but it is a weird feeling. So what'd they do? Well, yeah, so it looked like it was the game between Southland and Auckland. They basically had a bit of a halt in proceedings as well while they sorted it out.

It seemed like it was an overcooked cheese roll. You know, Southland love their cheese rolls. So it caused a 20-minute break in play for the game. The DJ cranked out some Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire, which was good. Good song to play. Oh, no, you clearly did start the fire. Well, he didn't.

No, he should have gone, I didn't start the fire. It was the cheese roll maker. Yeah, so 20 minutes they had to interrupt the game, and then they went back on afterwards and carried on. Do you like a cheese roll from Southland? They're good, hey? Yeah, you've got your onion dipped, don't you? White bread ripped up. They had to interrupt the game and then they went back on afterwards and carried on. Do you like a cheese roll from Southland? They're good, eh? Yeah. You've got your onion dipped, don't you?

White bread ripped up. Yeah, it's kind of like a delicacy down there or something, eh? It's something that they love. Yeah. It's an artery clogger, isn't it, a cheese roll? It plays into your wheelhouse, white bread. Mmm. Super thick stuff.

Everyone from Southland feels like they have the best cheese roll recipe, though, don't they? Yeah. Everyone feels like, oh, you've got best cheese roll recipe though, don't they? Everyone says, oh you've got to try my mum's one, my family recipe through the generations. Let's go. Jono and Ben with five words for 5k. Stop any time to keep the cash or play on to

win more. Let's try and give away some money. It's a game we play every morning. It's a really, really simple game to play but it's up to you how far you want to go to win the cash. That's right. We're going to get Daniel on who is 11 years old. Daniel, welcome.

Yeah you too Over the weekend Dale went shopping With my father-in-law We talk about shopping He lives in a retirement home At the moment It was nice to

Kind of hang out with him For a bit. Is he up north or here? No, he's up here in Auckland, one of the retirement homes. He wanted to go lazy boy shopping, wanted to buy a lazy boy chair. Oh, that's a big purchase. Yeah. Do you take a lazy boy home?

Do you take a trailer? No, they have to send it. Yeah, I'm not getting involved in any of that stuff. They send home. But lazy boys, the technology is incredible. So they obviously go back, you know, the chair you sit in, they go back. But then the new ones, if you want to get out of it, they basically tip you forward.

Like they tip you right forward. They eject you out of the seat. Yeah, so you don't have to do it. They just like tip you slowly over and then you're back on your feet again. I'm like, this is great. So you go fully back and then fully forward. Like they just sort of go. So it's like an ejection button.
