The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Cheers to Dilma, making the world a better tea. Now, over the weekend, I saw someone doing something, and it made me wonder, what is clogging up your phone? So, 0800 THE HITS or 4487, what particular videos or photos are clogging up your phone? Because I was at one of my daughter's netball game over the weekend, and I often see this from time to time.

You know, parents will sometimes film or take photos from bits and pieces but the person that films from start to finish the entire game yeah the entire game i'm like what there's almost one at every game isn't there no matter what the sport or code uh and you're like what are you using this for is there like a analytics meeting after the game? Do you sit down and review all the footage? Yeah, are you going through and making highlights? I mean, I'm sure there's a particular reason, and it wasn't like, I was just, but the whole time I was like,

this is clogging up, how much memory space do you have? This is clogging up a lot of your phone, the whole game. It'd be extraordinary, the amount of space that, you know, because what, half an hour, 40 minutes? Yeah, a lot, yeah. So you're like, what half an hour 40 minutes yeah a lot yeah so you're like that's a lot that's a lot maybe it's a good way sometimes when you're in the car on the way home and you're like oh you know you could be you could be attacking the circle from the left and they're like shut up dad thanks irene van dyke what do you know you're like

well hey well look at this look at this video evidence for that particular appearance uh but everyone you know who has a phone these days have stuff that's clogging it up, whether it's apps. Sometimes it's the kid's app. Sometimes it's the kid's taking lots of selfies on your phone. Or sometimes, like me, it's a lot of concert footage. I'm the same with concert footage. I film bits.

I'm like, oh, this is part of the song I like. It's Macklemore singing Thrift Shop. And I have not once gone back and watched Macklemore sing Thrift Shop. Play it now through your phone. Oh, jeez. Let's get the most out of it. I'll find it in a minute. There's the Macklemore stuff.

But you're right. The lights are always blowing out the camera lens. The audio's like, can't hear anything properly. It doesn't sound great, but I'm like, oh, this is good to experience that part of the concert. I feel like getting out and filming stuff with your phone, it's a numbers game. Yeah. I went to a concert recently,

and it was one of those moments everyone got their phones out, and I had an obligation. I didn't want to, but I had an obligation. So I didn't even push record. I just held my phone up and pointed it in the general direction of where the action was. But again, you look back on anything in your photo stream. One of the beauties that we have being in radio

Is voice memo recordings I've just scrolled through a few of mine And I want to play you some audio from the deep dark depths Of my voice memo Alright, that's the expert gives a call right now Oh wait, I heard the hat sound Hey, what's clogging up your phone? When you chucked this open this morning, Ben

You saw a parent at netball Filming the entire game all 40 minutes of amateur netball it's a lot and all i could think of was that geez it's clogging up your phone there's a lot clogging up i mentioned before that i go concerts i get i get swept up in the concerts i'm getting my phone out and taking videos and you're like have you got macklemore when you were there and i'm like yeah i've got macklemore when you were there? And I'm like, yeah, I've got Macklemore. I'm still there. Awesome. So there you go. That's me.

That's my recording of Macklemore. How often have you gone back and reviewed that footage? The first time since the concert I've gone back. Every now and again, though, it's nice for nostalgia to have one or two things from a concert or something you go to or a performance. And you're like, oh, that's cool. That's awesome. But you're right. Sometimes you take too much. Some great texts coming through, 4487.

Can't talk. Sorry, guys. But what's clogging up my phone? This will give you huge anxiety, Ben Boyce. My 80,000. 80,000 unread emails. Oh, my God. 80,000.

How do you have 80,000 unread emails. Oh, my God. 80,000. How do you have 80,000? I'm shocking on email, but I don't know if I've got 80,000 unread emails. That's got away on you. Yeah, it really has. I mentioned before the voice recordings. Great for the radio industry. We just go out and start recording. You've got one running 24 hours in your household, don't you?

Pretty much, yeah. I've got a list of recordings of the voice residents. And I've just gone deep into the archives of my voice memo recorder. Have a listen to this one. So, that was me recording an almost empty bottle of tomato sauce. Who was singing away in the background?

I think it was just Oscar. I started singing away. I didn't really need the background? I think it was just Oscar. My son singing away. I didn't really need him singing. I just needed to focus on the... It was really confusing. It was like Beyonce was in the background. There was all sorts of stuff going on. It was a disturbing noise though, wasn't it?

The tomato sauce almost. Yeah, well, that wasn't what I was listening. But now, yeah. You're listening to the singing. Here's another one. It's the toilet on the Blue Bridge Ferry. I did that when I went to Japan and I took audio recordings of their fancy futuristic toilets. And then my family came out and go, are you just been recording in there?

Because obviously I was talking about it. The toilet would talk to you, wouldn't it? It would do all sorts. It was amazing. Give you motivation. Come on, you can do it. Don't forget to wash your hands. Happy birthday twice.

And here was another one. Do you remember that? Now, what is that? We were at Mount Smart Stadium, driving the golf cart the length of New Zealand round and round Mount Smart Stadium, and we had little pockets where one of us would continue on the golf cart and the other one would have the opportunity to sleep for 40 minutes or an hour or so.

And as I was trying to go to sleep, some guy decided to do a mic check test. That's right, for a concert they were doing. I don't know what that was. Like honking non-stop for an hour There's a concert for geese I think That we're putting on Over that weekend

The Hits The Jono and Ben Podcast Recently I've been trying to You know as a parent You do feel A huge sense of responsibility To help your children You know

To be the best they can It's always a good thing It feels like it's on me I wish someone else would do it I wish Nadia Lim would do it But It's a niggly part of parenting When you have to raise the kids I'll be talking a lot It feels like it's on me. I wish someone else would do it. I wish Nadia Lim would do it, mate. It's an ugly part of parenting when you have to raise the kids. I'll be talking a lot about my hero, Dwayne the Rock Johnson,

because he likes to say always be the hardest worker in the room, about working hard. That's why often I'm by myself in rooms, just so I can say I'm always the hardest worker in the room. That's a great thing about working by yourself, isn't it? Yeah. By default. So I've been trying to talk to my girls who do work hard, but a lot about hard work.

And in all seriousness, the two of us, we do like to work hard on this radio show or any projects we're doing. Out of interest, if both of us are in a room, who's the hardest worker in a room? Who do you believe is the hardest worker in a room? Two of us are locked in a room working away. Who's working? What are you doing at the room? Two of us are locked in a room working away. Who's working? What are you doing at that time?

Are you sending me Instagram videos or are you working on stuff? I feel like people are always disappointed when we say we work on stuff though because people are like, oh, really? You do? Oh. So maybe we don't give that across. But my daughter and both my daughters. Clearly I don't because you didn't say I was the hardest working person in the room.

I'm trying to be me according to Dwayne the Rock Johnson. But yeah, we're talking to my daughters about hard work and my daughter Indy on the weekend, it was just the two of us hanging out, she's like, I want to do some netball training. I want to go down and do some training, I want to do some fitness and I want to run a couple of things that I've been

wanting to get better at. I'm like, that's really cool. I'll go down to the courts. I'll order you an Uber and you can get down to the courts. I was like, an Uber and you can get down to the courts. I was like, I'll go down with you. We'll do like it for 45 minutes an hour. We're doing some stuff. We're running some shuttles. We're doing some fitness.

We're running through all these things as well. And on the last time we ran some shuttles, I was like, on the last one, I'm like, this is the last one. I'm like, give it everything you got, that sprint. So I sprinting got to the end. I'm knackered. I'm knackered. I'm like, great session, good work. and we walked off and we walked off the courts and then indy turned to me just we're about five

meters off the courts and she went i want to do that again i was like what she was the last one she said i didn't sprint as hard as i could i could sprint harder and at that time i was a mix of emotions one i was very proud that she was wanting to do that again off her own bat the other party's going god bloody duane the rock johnson don't your heroes always let you down exactly the other part is i'm very exhausted i've just given it everything i've got now we're going to go back and do that again oh jeez i'm sorry but yeah but i had to like i had to do the duane johnson mantra and go back out there and do it again but every part of me wanted to get in the car and go home so when you're hitting the course with the silver ferns man mate? Mate, I'm not getting there.

But it is a nice thing when you can pass those things on and you can try and get that into them. But at the same time, when you're part of it, the hard work ends up on you as well. I didn't mean for me to do it. I'm always finding that a lot of the advice I'm trying to hand down is sort of being received like in a shut-up old man, kind of shut-up-your-r you rambling old man kind of way.

You know when a lot of the times you see stuff your parents say like, so I'm glad that one hit through for you. Yeah, but maybe a little too much. The hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. The internet has decided that I've officially reached a new life stage. You know when it starts feeding you videos

and you think, this guy will like this. This is in his wheelhouse where he is in life. These are not videos with a lot of kiwi fruit needing to get shaved, because I get a lot of those. I'm like, why do all the kiwi fruits need to get shaved? I'm not eating the skin part. I'm just eating the middle of it.

That sick bastard's shaving kiwi fruit. I don't need to. I'm going for the green stuff at the middle. I'm not. I don middle of it. That sick bastard's shaving kiwifruit. I don't need to. Like, I'm going for the green stuff at the middle. I'm not. I don't know. But anyway. Some people like their kiwifruit smooth, I guess. Hey.

Okay, anyway. But I'm like, okay, well, bald kiwifruit? Makes no sense to me. Yeah. But yeah, no, I'm getting fair. So these are all my YouTube pre-roll ads, just ads that come up on all varying levels of social media. And the internet's decided I've got an inflamed prostate. Okay, Jason.

Pay close attention. Your prostate is so swollen that if left untreated, this could lead to an unexpected and total shutdown of your urethra, which will make passing urine completely impossible. Over 275,000 regular men have finally been able to pee freely, fully empty their bladder, and regain their libido by following this newly discovered prostate shrinking ritual for 15 seconds every morning. And the best part, sleep like a baby, pee like a teenager and have sex like a man.

So go watch a free exclusive video where we reveal how you can permanently reverse the one true cause of all your prostate issues and reclaim the prostate of a 20-year-old. Watch it now before it's taken down. So they're going to take the video down. Yeah, it's an ancient Japanese technique. 15 seconds a day you have the prostate of a 20-year-old.

And sleep like a baby as well. Every night you're like... Oh, jeez. You were saying you were always tired, so night you're like, oh jeez, you were saying you were always tired, so there you go. Not anymore mate, 15 seconds a day and I can't show you

because it's going to get taken down. The prostate industry, they don't want you to see this video. The $300 million prostate industry.
