Starting point is 00:00:00 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. Welcome to the podcast, the final podcast of our first week back on radio. It's been a fun week.
Starting point is 00:00:21 Feels like September. I feel the holiday is a distant memory. It's funny, it's only five days back. You just get back into routine so quickly, don't you? Oh my god. When's Christmas coming again? It's a long way off. It's been a fun week. We introduced a
Starting point is 00:00:37 brand new game. Five words for $5,000. We got four out of five again today. We were so close. It's so fun hosting a game show, isn't it? We both really enjoy this game. And sometimes the tension it creates is too much for me. Yeah, I get quite nervous leading up to it and around it. I'm like, oh, God.
Starting point is 00:00:56 Because you want to win these people the money, but you just don't know. Honestly, we don't know what the words are. And the person who's doing the word association. You're always like, it's the easiest game to play, but. It's going to be like a tough game to win, but I think it's possible now we've got four out of five. So that's on the podcast again today. Do you know what, Ben Boyce?
Starting point is 00:01:16 Yeah. You were telling a story during the show today about sitting down with your mum and watching some softcore. Oh, no, it's the new show that everyone's talking about on Netflix. It's about the 1800s English society. You're so good at watching Netflix shows. You watch all the ones. You're across all those shows.
Starting point is 00:01:32 Well, my mum was watching it. She was ahead in the series. She was like, I'm watching some of this. Have you seen it? And I was like, oh, no, I haven't. But it was just me and her at her house. So I was like, I'll have a cup of tea at night before I go to bed and watch a little bit.
Starting point is 00:01:41 But the scene was a little bit racy that we got to. It's a little bit awkward. How racy? What are they doing? They went on for a while. It's not like you sit... Those are long seconds when you're sitting with your family watching saucy scenes aren't they? Because then you're like
Starting point is 00:01:57 what's mum... you're like what's she thinking? She's probably like what's he thinking? You're like oh yeah. We've both done this because we've both made children, so we know what this is. I was the result of this. You were the result.
Starting point is 00:02:09 Did you do this, Jenny? Were you doing what they're doing on the screen? You know, it just makes it so. And see, I find it even when your parents are bad enough. Chuck and the in-laws. Have you ever done it with the in-laws? Oh, my God. Now, that should be a TV show.
Starting point is 00:02:26 Watching. Well, let's see how long you can watch. This could be our new game show. We host a game show. You get more money the longer that you watch with the in-laws. A saucy scene. You never see, the people at home never see what they're watching. You just see the people uncomfortable on their couch going.
Starting point is 00:02:39 But you just put, what you do is you put the most awkward people next to them. So one night it could be your in-laws. It could be a priest. Yeah, you just keep adding people. Your boss is now... It's like the whole lounge. The whole lounge. Your ex-girlfriend.
Starting point is 00:02:53 Your ex-boyfriend. Yeah, they're all watching. You know, and just your neighbour. Yeah, they're all... Chuck them all in until the whole lounge is just filled up with people you'd never want to watch a saucy scene with. Great show. Yeah, it's a show.
Starting point is 00:03:04 I'd watch that. There we go. So after we do five words for $5,000, we'll do how much. Jono and Ben's saucy sessions. Yeah, there we go. How much can you watch? Enjoy the podcast. Have a great weekend.
Starting point is 00:03:14 We'll catch you Monday from 6 o'clock. Two dads just trying to fill some airtime. Some may say it's pointless, but the main thing is it fills in some airtime for us. That is the main thing. Jono and Ben, breakfast on the hits. Now, the Prada Cup are going on over the weekend, and American Magic, one of the boats, are racing to compete for the America's Cup.
Starting point is 00:03:31 We all would have seen it the other day where the boat capsized, and the commentators were like, finally, something exciting is going on. Have a listen. Well, a lot of breeze on. A lot of breeze on as they go. Is she going to go? And a full flight. My word.
Starting point is 00:03:46 Wonderful audio. My biggest, can I have a bugbear with American magic? Sure. Not once for this whole regatta have I seen them do a card trick. Have I seen them pull a rabbit out of a hat? They almost made a boat magically disappear. Maybe that's their trick as well. Fortunately, everyone's okay and they're racing around the clock
Starting point is 00:04:04 to get back into the Prada Cup but they're not racing this weekend and we we mentioned this yesterday that the other competitors that are racing against them still have to go to the start line to be awarded the victory
Starting point is 00:04:14 it's called a ghost race and then they were like are you ready to go and they're like we're ready no one else here oh well you win the race they just have to go over the line
Starting point is 00:04:20 don't they yeah pretty much and then the race is called off seems like an enormous waste of time and resource but anyway they're doing it good on them we've all got to fill in time before we, don't they? Yeah, pretty much. And then the race is called off. Seems like an enormous waste of time and resource. But anyway, they're doing it. Good on them. We've all got to fill in time before we die, don't we?
Starting point is 00:04:29 We do. And we were thinking about the American magic and obviously that capsizing. And Dean Barker on the helm, a legendary New Zealand yachtsman. But, you know, he pretty much essentially crashed the boss's car. Yeah, a lot of...
Starting point is 00:04:42 Or the vehicle. It's an expensive car. I don't know how much they're worth. We were just researching, you know, the Team New Zealand boat design was $3 million alone. So I don't know what it cost to actually build it. Let's say $5, $6 million a boat. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:53 You know, it's crashed. Well, they've crashed. Let's not put it all on 14. No, no, no. They've crashed the boss's expensive car, haven't they? Well, yeah, it's pretty much the equivalent of. You'd be coming back and going, oh, sorry, boss, we took it a bit fast.
Starting point is 00:05:05 And I imagine that's happened to other people in their line of work over the years. So we wanted to throw it out there this morning. Not just a car, though. What's the most amount of damage they've accidentally done at work? Yeah, give us a text, 24487. We'll take all calls. Jono, on our TV show a few years ago, everyone always brings this up with me. You were going to dig me a pool in my backyard
Starting point is 00:05:26 when I wasn't home. You were on a digger. It was almost summertime. And might I just say for the record, I had no prior pool digging experience. No, no, I don't know who let you on the digger. But anyway, you were going around and around on the digger and this happened.
Starting point is 00:05:38 We got the audio, Millennial Max? I'm driving a digger. My name is John O. Having fun driving a digger. My name is John O. Having fun driving a digger. Ah, digger donuts. You spin me right round, spin me right round. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 00:05:58 I'm sorry. I'm sorry, dude. I'm sorry. Oh. Holy. Yeah. It makes it sound worse because they stopped the fun music when the crash. So it actually wasn't as bad as it sounds.
Starting point is 00:06:10 It was not as bad. It wasn't really bad. It was not as bad. I turned up later and I was just so confused. I was like, what? Did you mean to? What? No?
Starting point is 00:06:16 Okay, why? Listen, thankfully, you know, MediaWorks had wonderful insurance. Yeah, renovations were done on my house. And it was all good. And it was all sorted out. I dug myself a hole and I dug myself out of that hole. Thanks to the digger. So that's a lot of damage that Jono caused at work.
Starting point is 00:06:30 What was the damage that you caused? I'd love to hear from you today on 0800 THE HITS or you can text us as well, 4487. Morena Clare, welcome to the program. How are you? Good, mate, good. How much damage did you cause? So I just got a new job and I got a car park,
Starting point is 00:06:45 which is actually right next to the CEO. And so as I was driving in one morning, this is just like in my cheap $3,000 car, may have taken the turn a little too fast and accidentally swiped the side mirror of the boss's Mercedes. Oh, dear God. Oh, my goodness. Where did you just start?
Starting point is 00:07:05 Who parks the intern next to the boss? Hey, I never said I was an intern, but... Oh, sorry. I thought that's how everyone got jobs, starting out at the bottom. So didn't Drake say we all start at the bottom, now we're here? Yeah, now we're back at the bottom.
Starting point is 00:07:21 Back to the bottom. Oh, that's so good. I love your work, Claire. Have a great weekend. You too, guys. Oh too guys actually I want to know how did you tell the boss oh well he kind of
Starting point is 00:07:30 found out I put it off for a while and then he sent like a big hashtag email to everyone and I just had to come forward
Starting point is 00:07:37 oh hey even worse too you didn't tell him yeah it was very scary. Good on you, Cleo. Have a great day.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Appreciate it. We'll go to Dean in Auckland. How much damage did you cause at work, Dean? Yeah, we sung a digger, mate. They had to go across the swamp to lift a tree up for some guys to cut a tree down. I said, I'll go across, but I don't think I'll get back, and I didn't. They dug a big hole in front of me, and then they got another digger in to put logs out, and that didn't work, and then the pumps failed,
Starting point is 00:08:09 and then, yeah, the whole thing got submerged, and we had to get a big bulldozer in to pull the bloody thing out. So you sunk a digger? Yeah. I love how you even prefaced it with, I'll go over, but I'm probably not going to be able to come back, but you went anyway. I told them that. I knew we wouldn't get over, but I'm probably not going to be able to come back. But you went anyway. I told them that.
Starting point is 00:08:26 I knew we wouldn't get back. The ground was soft, but yeah, there was a creek running through it. That's the Kiwi Can Do attitude. I'm probably not going to make it back, but I'll go anyway. Thank you very much. I've got a double deck of buses now. It's all good. Only had four of those stuck under bridges.
Starting point is 00:08:42 Hopefully you do make it back with us. Take one more call. You too. Thank you so much for listening. Remember our dear friend Dan, who used to work at Westpac, and he accidentally, he was a bank teller,
Starting point is 00:08:53 and someone came in to get $100 out, and he accidentally gave them $10,000, not knowing. I don't know how you do that, but he did that, and he added up his station at the end of the day, and he was like, oh, I'm out by 10 grand.
Starting point is 00:09:06 I'm no banking expert, but I'm not sure that's how the banking structure's meant to work. I think they deposited him from their staff after that. We'll go to Renee. Welcome. Renee, you're on the air. Good to have you on New Zealand's Breakfast. How much damage did you cause? Well, I started a new job
Starting point is 00:09:22 and I had an old building, and I went to the bathroom, and I went to the bathroom and I did number two and I was so embarrassed. I was like, okay, I've got to let some air out. The window was like one of those old windows that are like a blind. So it's like flat and I pulled it and I don't think it'd been open for a while because I pulled it so hard the whole window smashed and cut my wrist so I had to come out one and say I've just broken the window
Starting point is 00:09:50 and then I was bleeding and I had to get stitches and someone had to take me to the doctor. Oh my God. It's so embarrassing. Oh, you poor thing. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:09:58 It's like a scene from a movie but then inevitably everyone had to end up going in the room anyway. Yeah. And I've now become scarred so I remember it forever. Oh, you poor thing.
Starting point is 00:10:06 Thank you so much for sharing. That's an amazing story. Hold the line. We want to send you out something. That's such a good story. My experts in semi-accurate, half-remembered information. Vaguely known information, but maybe not correct. Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast on the hits.
Starting point is 00:10:19 It is a Friday, and we wanted to start something called Friday Thoughts. You know, give an opportunity for you and myself to get something off our chest. Yeah, well, you raised something in the office yesterday that I thought could be brought to the airwaves and just let people, the fine people of Aotearoa ponder over the weekend. Ben Boyce, take it away. Well, something that's been sort of, I've been thinking a lot about lately. A mate brought this up the other day saying, you know, when rich people, you know, people with a lot of money, wealthy people, wear
Starting point is 00:10:45 unusual clothing, what would be described as unusual clothing, they're called eccentric. They're always the eccentric billionaire or the rock stars or the Hollywood movie stars. They can get away with that. But if I wore, you know, your average Joe, sworn out there with their clothing, you'd be like, oh, he's dressing like a bit of a
Starting point is 00:11:01 bit wet, you know? Yeah, I mean, you constantly shame me. If I was wealthy, I'd be eccentric. You're like, you got dressed from a, you put a blindfold on and picked clothes out of a clothing bin today. That's what you say to me. But if you were rich, you'd be like, oh, he's eccentric. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:16 But, you know, if you came to work in leather pants or a scarf or, you know, lots of jewellery or, you know, things like that. I mean, well, Johnny Depp's dressed, constantly dressed like he's heading off to a pirate party. He does. Isn't he? Slash from Guns N' Roses, leather pants. Yeah, no one questions Johnny Depp
Starting point is 00:11:31 apart from the judge at his court cases. Hey, no one's questioning. So that's a very good thought starter. If you're rich, you can get away with dressing like a vagrant. Like just whatever you want. And they're like, oh, he's eccentric. It's eccentric. But eccentric clothing never looks comfortable.
Starting point is 00:11:46 Does Johnny Depp ever look comfortable? Does Slash with his leather pants on ever look comfortable? And a top hat. Yeah. Impractical top hat. Driving? You can't wear a top hat while you're driving. No.
Starting point is 00:11:57 What happens in that situation? Well, you have to remove the top hat. Otherwise the top hat just slowly pushes down over your forehead as you're driving. Well, I've got a Friday thought I've committed a crime Okay I'm guilty And I get a defence lawyer
Starting point is 00:12:13 Oh this is a hypothetical Yeah I haven't I never admit my crimes on here And I get a defence lawyer Do I tell my defence lawyer That I've committed the crime or do I just keep up the facade of that I'm innocent?
Starting point is 00:12:32 Or does the defence lawyer not want to know and just forms a defence for me? I imagine they wouldn't want to know, would they? I don't... Don't tell me. I mean, defence lawyers, it's a job where you'd have to leave your morals at the door it's like a breakfast radio announcer
Starting point is 00:12:47 I don't want to cattle prod my nipples today but I'll do it I'll do it in the name of entertainment it's the same sort of gig yeah right we are do you think if you were a defence lawyer
Starting point is 00:12:56 you'd want to know if the person you were defending had actually committed the crime well and if you're trying to defend them you probably oh it's so hard
Starting point is 00:13:04 the morals the morals of that one is... You could never be a defence lawyer. No. Yeah, sure, I'd be a good one. I'd be a good one. Yeah, well, you could say a whole lot of stuff. I'm like, he's clearly lying.
Starting point is 00:13:14 But you're very good at it. So those are the Friday Thought Starters. Have a think. If you commit a crime this weekend, will you have to admit it to your defence lawyer? Okay, that's really taken... Lighthearted stuff. Yeah, for a Friday.
Starting point is 00:13:26 You're talking about tax evasion, things like that. Yeah, I'm talking like, you know, maybe hypothetically, say I go to a countdown, self-service checkout, got some avocados, and I weigh them through as onions. You know, that sort of stuff. Do I have to admit that to my defence lawyer? From stealing Mike Hosking's
Starting point is 00:13:42 car to stealing the hearts of New Zealand. Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast on the hits. Actual hearts being not bestowed. Of course, the whole world's still talking about the new president of the United States of America, Joe Biden, as sworn in yesterday. I don't know if the whole world are, but we certainly are. We're still banging on about it. Amazing ceremony. But all the artists that played, everyone from Lady Gaga, Katy Perry.
Starting point is 00:14:04 Katy Perry, we'll talk more about her amazing performance later. The fireworks. Oh, shivers up your spine. Yeah. It was incredible. The fireworks, anyway, we'll get it. Not now, not now, gentlemen. Back off.
Starting point is 00:14:15 We're focusing on another thing. One thing, one break. Until we try to listen to our bosses. But Chrissy Teigen, we just mentioned this before. She was there along to support her just mentioned this before, she was there along to support her husband John Legend who was playing at the inauguration but afterwards she was eating a
Starting point is 00:14:31 fruit roll-up and she broke a tooth. Here's her on Instagram. My tooth in a fruit roll-up. There's some up here on Instagram. It's lost. My tooth. She fruit roll-up. Okay, the summer pair on Instagram. I just lost my tooth. She's very slow. Yeah, I just lost a tooth in my fruit roll-up. Well, you would be slow if you just lost a tooth in a fruit roll-up.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Hard pumping music behind her. She looks like she's in a hotel, but there's a lot of music going on, right? She's also not wearing a lot. Fruit roll-ups at the presidential inauguration party. A bowl of Cheerios as well. It's like the cuisine of a seven-year-old's birthday party. I feel like, because they had their daughter with them, so maybe that was
Starting point is 00:15:12 a snack. You know, as a good mum or dad. Bring a lunchbox. Yeah, bring some snacks to keep the kids going, right? Have you ever lost a tooth in a comical fashion? No, but my Not just from decay and lack of oral hygiene. My daughter,
Starting point is 00:15:27 Sienna, when she first cottoned on to, you know, wiggly tooth equated to money, as soon as she'd get a wiggly tooth, she'd just go to the bathroom.
Starting point is 00:15:34 Just rip it out. She'd be there for like 20 minutes just pulling it and prodding it. There'd be tissue papers with all sorts of like... You'd walk in there and go,
Starting point is 00:15:40 what? The horrible thing has taken place. Gone on to the bathroom, come out all gummy and bleeding. Go, I got another one. This is going to be money for the tooth fairy. There was a period there when she was about seven or eight. She just had no teeth.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Just a gummy old smile like an elderly retired person. But she was rich, goddammit, thanks to that tooth fairy. So what we want to open up right now, 0800 the hits, 4487. How have you lost a tooth? I imagine a lot of parents being, like you say, eating food, eating children's food. Ginger nuts, for example.
Starting point is 00:16:11 Ginger nuts is like biting on a rock from a quarry. I see why people tip them in cups of tea, because you kind of have to right before you eat them. So we want to know the most unusual way that you lost a tooth. We've got some prizes up for grabs on this Friday morning. We'll say morena to Amber. How's Hamilton this morning, Amber? Good morning. How are you? We're doing really well. You lost a tooth.
Starting point is 00:16:31 What happened? I did. So I was getting out of a concrete swimming pool, put my hands over the side to lift myself up and whack my front teeth. Oh, God. It's a new regret. I took out half of the tooth and then the nerve was exposed. Oh, how do we do this? I took the nerve out without any anaesthetic. Oh, God. It's a new regret. Took out half of the tooth, and then the nerve was exposed. Oh, how do we do this? And then it took the nerve out without any anesthetic.
Starting point is 00:16:47 Oh. What? Good times. And then I tend to lose that now every so many years. I bit down to a piece of pork crackling, and it snapped. I ate a minty, and it snapped. So, yeah, good times. Good times.
Starting point is 00:17:00 Great times. We're all holding our bodies, isn't it? I know. You're all making us wince. We're going to send you out something, all right? Awesome, guys. Have a great day. We're all holding our bodies, isn't it? I know. You're all making us wince. We're going to send you out something, all right? Awesome, guys. Have a great day. Okay.
Starting point is 00:17:07 Yeah, you too. Geez, I regret doing this phone conversation now. We're going to send out Amber some rock-solid food. A mouth guard. A health pizza. A health pizza. Let's go to Gemma. Welcome.
Starting point is 00:17:19 How are you? Hi there. We've got two Gemmas. We've got Gemma from the Coromandel and Gemma from Wellington. Which Gemma is this? I'm currently on the Coromandel. Oh, that's a great place. That's a great Gemma.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Great place. What have you got? You lost a tooth? No, it wasn't actually me. I had just gone on, I think it was at my second date, to watch a guy play rugby. And about halfway through the game,
Starting point is 00:17:42 his physiotherapist ran over to me and said, can you just hold these for a minute and I was handed his two front teeth which I found out later was obviously his bridge which he'd lost when he was a little boy on a bike ride but that was a pretty interesting way to
Starting point is 00:17:56 have a date. Where did you put the teeth? Do you sort of weirdly hold them in a cup in your hands like cup your hands put them in your pocket? What do you do? He just literally handed them to me, drool and all, and I just stood there with them for a while, but it turns out he was okay
Starting point is 00:18:10 because he's now my husband. Oh, you married that toothless son of a gun. I did. That was as bad as it got, I guess. I love your work, Gemma. You look after the Coromandel, okay? We'll send you out something as well, all right? Thank you very much.
Starting point is 00:18:22 I love how I put the responsibility of Gemma looking after the entire Coromandel. That's a big job. Dean, welcome. How are you? You lost a tooth, okay? We'll send you out something as well, all right? Thank you very much. I love how he put the responsibility of Gemma looking after the entire Coromandel. That's a big job. Dean, welcome. How are you? You lost a tooth, how? Yes, it wasn't actually me. It was my best mate when we were kids.
Starting point is 00:18:32 So we were doing an overnight camping trip by the river, fishing in the middle of the night, and he got this line which had a lead sinker caught in the reeds, and he was just ripping on it, ripping on it to try to break it free. Eventually it broke loose. It came shooting back, hit him in the lip, and on it to try and break it free. Eventually it broke loose. It came shooting back,
Starting point is 00:18:46 hit him in the lip and knocked his tooth root and all clean out. It literally shot out of his mouth. Root and all. Root and all. Clean out of his mouth.
Starting point is 00:18:56 Oh, jeez. And he was, because he, you know, he was obviously on his second teeth. He wasn't a little kid so that had to be paid
Starting point is 00:19:02 to be replaced and that cost him a fortune at the age of 11. I think it was. Although you would love to see that on YouTube. second teeth. He wasn't a little kid, so that had to be paid to be replaced, and that cost him a fortune. Although you would love to see that on YouTube, don't you? I've actually got the video, because during that stage, it was like the jackass thing was really, you know, and kids were videoing themselves doing silly stuff, so we had a camera.
Starting point is 00:19:17 I must actually dig it up, really. Yeah, dig it up. Get us the footage. We'll put it on Insta, mate, and get some hits. Get some hits. Hey, thank you. We'll go on. We'll end on an artist. Our second Gemma, Wellington-based Gemma, welcome to the show. Hey guys, how's it going?
Starting point is 00:19:29 Oh, lovely to hear from you Gemma. What happened? How'd you lose your tooth? So a few years ago I was working at a bar restaurant and it was a
Starting point is 00:19:37 couple of days before Christmas and one of the chefs gave me some hokey pokey, bit down and completely broke one of my back teeth. Hokey pokey in the same category as a ginger nut, isn't it? When you're having Hokey Pokey ice cream,
Starting point is 00:19:49 there's like little rocks that you sort of have to navigate your way through. They're great when you digest them properly. Don't get me wrong. Yeah, it was so good I even swallowed the toothpaste. You're like, oh, this Hokey Pokey is a little bit more crunchy than usual. Oh, so good. All right, we're going to send you out something as well. Appreciate your calls, all right?
Starting point is 00:20:07 Ben and Jono call this show Jono and Ben. Breakfast on the hips. The hips. Now, a seven-year-old in Christchurch, we're just talking about this, a young boy found $5 in the ocean. And as a seven-year-old, that'd be the coolest thing to find. And now they've put it on trade. It's amazing how far you can make $5 stretch when you're that age.
Starting point is 00:20:24 Yeah. You can last you three days. Well, it's going to last a on Trade Me. So, Manny, how far you can make $5 stretch when you're that age? Yeah. How long can it last you? Three days? Well, it's going to last a lot longer because as a weird experiment, as Dad said, why don't we chuck it on Trade Me, see if anyone will bid for this $5 note, the lucky $5 note that he's found in the ocean. And so far it's got up to about $530 on Trade Me,
Starting point is 00:20:39 which is incredible. And then it's going to be a responsible purchase for the winner of that auction. So we want to know this morning what's the most impressive thing you've ever found. And on the phone right now, we've got a Nelson jeweller. Now he looks for gold in the rivers of Nelson and he's just discovered
Starting point is 00:20:54 a rare 1870, so almost like 150 years old, a New Zealand coin. There's a news article we're just reading about it. One and only Glen James. I imagine there's probably, when I say the one and only Glen James, I imagine there's multiple Glen Jameses around New Zealand.
Starting point is 00:21:09 I have Googled it and there's a couple more in America, but yes. I'm glad. I'll say one of the Glen Jameses joins us on the big news. Hopefully he's the one we want to talk to. You're the guy that found the coin. Yeah, you got the right Glen James. Yeah, that's it. That's me. Now tell us, this coin looks very expensive.
Starting point is 00:21:28 I don't know. Yeah, it's unique. That's all I can say. It's different. So you go out there and you're sort of sifting through the river. What do you call it? How do you describe what you do? Yeah, so we've got our own gold claim
Starting point is 00:21:40 because to find gold in the country, it's got to be claimed. You've got to have the rights to it in certain areas. We've got a claim on a certain area and we go out with a dredge which is basically you are underwater vacuuming. So if you imagine laying on the carpet and just with the nozzle of the vacuum cleaner and you're just crawling along slowly down the hallway cleaner, and you're just crawling along slowly down the hallway vacuuming,
Starting point is 00:22:08 and you're watching all the dirt and everything go up the nozzle. That's exactly what you're doing. But you're underwater, and you're vacuuming up the river. It's an unorthodox style of vacuuming. If I walked in on Ben vacuuming his lounge like that, I'd be like, what? But how do you know if there's gold on the piece of land that you've claimed? It's a tricky one. A lot of history.
Starting point is 00:22:29 If you go back into New Zealand's history and look up historical gold fields and everything like that, then you can find out where places in the past did have gold, didn't have gold, and go from there. But before you can even go prospecting, you've got to apply for permits and have a permit to do that. Oh, so you're going off our ancestors who had some luck in this particular part of New Zealand. Now, have you found gold?
Starting point is 00:22:54 Oh, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We are a little bit unorthodox, I suppose. We're the only jewellers that find their own gold to use in their own shop. Right, so you make all your jewellery off gold that you've discovered. That's incredible. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Good on you. Well, listen, can I be honest with you, Glenys? I prefer my blood diamonds that I get from the shop in the mall. No, well, you need to go see someone like Glen. That's the thing. I mean, people do say, I know we're going off topic, but I mean, people do say, where do you get this from? Where do you get that from? You're only going
Starting point is 00:23:27 by what you actually are told and you can make up a bullshit story. But I mean, we are doing what we do and we've got photos and videos and everything. So, yeah, we get gold and we get enough. And what about things like the coin that you found that was like
Starting point is 00:23:43 146 years old? Do you find unusual things like that from time to time? You know what? That is better than gold. I don't know. It's just like treasure hunting, really. It's like you don't know what you're going to find. And you don't often find anything of any, you kind of never find anything of any value. Just some old tools.
Starting point is 00:24:01 Over Christmas, my son was given as a Christmas present a metal detector. And so I spent one morning over New Year's going around with a metal detector and I looked like a crazy person. You know, I felt like people were judging me and I was trying to find... Is that the first time you've felt that way? Well, probably not, to be honest. I had no trousers on at the time, too. Maybe that's where the judge...
Starting point is 00:24:23 That's a bit unusual. Listen, lovely to talk to you. Congratulations on your find. Are you going to get this thing valued? What are your plans with the coin? Are you going to sell it? No, no, no, no, no. I mean, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:24:33 To me, it's got no financial value. It's like when we go out looking for gold, we don't go out looking to strike it rich. We go out because we enjoy it and we know the honest truth behind it and we use it. The coin was just like a super added bonus. I'm just going to leave it in the shop. What price do you put on a coin?
Starting point is 00:24:52 Well, you can probably actually check. The coins also have a price of like 50 cents worth of cents too. But anyway. You're right. Someone asked me that before and I said, look, if someone offered me $1,000,
Starting point is 00:25:02 I wouldn't sell it. Money doesn't buy happiness. To coin sell it. Money doesn't buy happiness. To coin a phrase, money doesn't buy happiness. Oh yeah, literally coin a phrase. It buys things, yes, but it's not my story, it's the person that lost it. That would be awesome to find out. How did it come to get to the river in the first place?
Starting point is 00:25:18 It's always lovely talking to someone who's so passionate about what they do. Can you look after yourself, okay? You too. Love you guys. Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up you guys. Show. Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime. Just search Jono and Ben on Facebook. I'm getting a little bit nervous because hopefully we can give away $5,000.
Starting point is 00:25:33 Five words for 5K on the hit. You're only five words away from a massive payday. Simple game to play. Everyone's playing along in the car or at home as they listen to this one. It's a game of word association. We give you five words. You say the first thing that pops into your head.
Starting point is 00:25:48 If those five words match up with our five words, then you win $5,000. Looking at the game yesterday, it's doable. It's achievable. Ben spent the first three days moping around. No one's going to win. No one's going to win. That's what you keep saying to me. Yeah, I'd say It's too hard.
Starting point is 00:26:05 But yesterday gave me so much hope because we are one word away from $5,000. That's right. And I'd love to welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast, well, the big hug, big open arms, as we always welcome everyone onto the show. Never welcome them with closed arms. Katrina, welcome from Christchurch. Oh, welcome, guys. How are you?
Starting point is 00:26:23 Big audio hug for you. Yeah, nice to have you here. Straight back at you. Have you been playing along to this game as we've played it this week? Absolutely. Yesterday was heartbreaking. I thought she was going to get it. I know.
Starting point is 00:26:33 Well, hopefully today one of us can get in sync with your thoughts and hopefully get $5,000. Which one do you want to choose, Jono or me? I'm going to go Ben. Oh, you're going to go me again? Come on, Ben. No pressure. You're a safe pair of hands.
Starting point is 00:26:47 I'm a shaky pair of hands. My hands are all up. My hands. Don't make this all about me. I can't take the pressure on this. My hands are like one of those blow-up things outside Godfrey's. You know? The wacky way.
Starting point is 00:26:56 Yeah, those are my hands. They're not safe. So you get into the soundproof booth. Ben can't hear anything inside the minimal oxygenised soundproof booth. We wanted to do a competition to see how long someone would stay conscious in the soundproof booth, but Katrina, he cannot hear you now. You've heard the game for a few days. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:27:16 You know how it's played. And listen, you don't have to rush your answers. Okay, Katrina. Have a good think about the words and what you would like to lock in. Righto. The first word. Up. Down.
Starting point is 00:27:34 Sensible. That's good. Down's good. Teddy. Beer. Remote. Remote Control Control or television? We'll go control You want to go control? Lock and control
Starting point is 00:27:56 So you've gone up, down, teddy bear, remote control Yep Happy so far? Absolutely, yes. Petrol. Station or car? We will go... We'll go station.
Starting point is 00:28:22 And the fifth and final word that you need to sync up with Benjamin Ross Boyce, the Whitedupper's 19th favourite son. Bark. Bark. Bark. B-A-R-K. Dog.
Starting point is 00:28:37 Dog. Those are pretty solid words, Katrina. There's a couple there. Yeah, I contemplated a couple, but yeah, they could go either way. So I hope Ben's going to go my way. Out of up, teddy, remote, petrol and bark, what word do you think you could slip up on? What word are you most nervous about? Maybe the remote for television.
Starting point is 00:28:59 Yeah, okay. Let's bring him back in, Producer Humphrey. Open up out of the soundproof booth. It's getting all steamy in that soundproof booth. The glass door's steamed up. What the hell were you doing in there? Don't ask. I was thinking about it in anticipation.
Starting point is 00:29:15 He's sweating nervously. I don't even know what the words are, so you only use the words. Listen, I don't want to put... Even the words to start off with the association. I don't want to put any pressure on you, but Katrina needs to buy her grandmother some new false teeth. Oh, don't do this.
Starting point is 00:29:29 They are $5,000. If she doesn't get these false teeth, she's going to have to have all her food blended up in a blender and drink through a straw for the remainder of her life. Can I stand? Is that okay? You can stand. And I also don't want to put any more pressure on. I feel more confident about the answers today than I even did yesterday.
Starting point is 00:29:46 Oh, don't do this. So if you don't win, if you don't win, you're a monster. Oh, no. I will try my best to try and think what. I don't know. I don't know. Any parting words, Katrina, that you'd like to give Ben before he embarks on this journey? Just go with it, mate.
Starting point is 00:30:02 No pressure. No pressure. Don't forget my grandmother. Toothless grandmother. Yeah. All right, hit the music, Millennial Max. The first word you need to sync up with Katrina. Up.
Starting point is 00:30:20 Down. There's one from one, Katrina! Yeah. Keep it up, my friend. Okay, I'm one, Katrina. Yeah. Keep it up, my friend. Okay, I'm trying to focus on it. I felt that was probably a pretty easy one. Teddy. Did you say teddy?
Starting point is 00:30:35 Mm-hmm. Beer. Is he right, Katrina? Are you sure? Oh, yes. Yes, okay. Three away from $5,000 and our first winner for Five Words 5K. Remote.
Starting point is 00:30:52 Control. Yeah. Oh. Yes. Okay. Oh, God. I don't know what you're doing to steam up that soundproof booth, but it is working, my friend.
Starting point is 00:31:02 Oh, jeez. I'm trying to think in my head if there's any other options. That was the one that Katrina was most nervous about. Oh, really? Petrol. Oh, see, now I'm getting a couple of options in my head for this one. Talk it through, baby.
Starting point is 00:31:20 Talk it through. I don't want to say them out loud because I'm going to... I'm an open book. What do you want to lock in? What's going through that skinny head of yours? You're not the bald one. I'm the bald one. I'm thinking things like car. I'm thinking prices. I'm thinking station.
Starting point is 00:31:33 I'm thinking prices. Petrol prices. What was it, Katrina? Station. Station. Station. Two days in a row. I'm so sorry. So close. He's almost Dean Barkery, isn't he?
Starting point is 00:31:54 He's so close. What was the last one? The last one, Bark. Dog? Oh, he would have got it. He would have got it if you had just got petrol station. Katrina, I'm so sorry. Hey, nice to meet you.
Starting point is 00:32:09 It was lovely playing with you. Wonderful contestant. Wait till we do this again. Katrina, you need to call back. We need to do this again. Give our condolences. Appreciate your time. Have a great Friday.
Starting point is 00:32:18 You too. Give our condolences to your grandma's dentist and you go and have a great weekend. That was Five Words 5K. We are proud of New Zealand. Go New Zealand. If only New Zealand was proud of that. Jono and Ben.
Starting point is 00:32:30 New Zealand's breakfast. On the hits. There's a movie out today in New Zealand cinemas about the untold story of the legendary New Zealand music label Dawn Raid. Dawn Raid was the first New Zealand hip hop label. We were Polynesians. We had the American stuff on radio, but we had our own voice.
Starting point is 00:32:47 When people hear South Auckland, they think nothing good comes from there. My brother John did life in prison. That's where my change happened. That looks awesome. Dawn Raid, of course,
Starting point is 00:32:57 produced hit songs like Savage Swing. Adi, How Deep Is Your Love? As well, Adi. Great song. And obviously Stop, Drop and Roll, we just heard before on the movie trailer. Not just a great song, but also great fire safety advice as well.
Starting point is 00:33:12 And joining us in the studio right now is the director of the movie, Oscar Kightley. Great to have you here. How are you going? Yes, talofa lava, brothers. Talofa lava to you, Oscar. Thanks for having me on the show. It's lovely to have you here, mate. It's always great catching up with you.
Starting point is 00:33:26 Now, Ben was just telling me before you walked in, he saw an interview with you and it was a dream of yours to direct a movie when you were age 24. 23, yeah. That was my five-year plan. You know how you do five years? It was a thing back then.
Starting point is 00:33:40 Yeah. And then I had to keep adjusting it, going, fire up, this five-year plan's really going at the moment i always got closer and closer so i'm grateful to gfc films for giving me this shot and yeah i love that i i love these guys and love these story and they were part of a an awesome period of new zealand flowering of arts and culture and you guys remember because you were part of it yeah it was such an iconic you know it was the TV at the time stuff like C4 it was the sports television
Starting point is 00:34:08 we were able to do it was introducing humour into Sacred Cows and Dawn Raid was all part of that so if you were around at that time it felt like such a special
Starting point is 00:34:16 moment for New Zealand at the time because even you know the hip hop you had Scribe going well all the Dawn Raid guys yeah
Starting point is 00:34:23 Mijin Mystic yeah Savage Rock Band D4 overseas the Datsuns yep the Mint Chicks You know, the hip-hop, you had Scribe going well, all the Dawn Raid guys. Yeah, Mijin Mystic. Yeah. Savage. Rock bands, D4, overseas, the Datsuns. Yep, the Mint Chicks were fur patrol. Yeah. You know, all those bands that came up. And, of course, in the 90s, there was a fight
Starting point is 00:34:35 to get New Zealand music on the radio as a quota. By that point, they didn't need that anymore because radio accepted that, oh, New Zealanders love hearing New Zealand music. Who knew? Who knew that we Zealanders love hearing New Zealand music. Who knew? Who knew that we were going to enjoy New Zealand music? And I know all bands have special stories, but the story about
Starting point is 00:34:51 Dawn Raid's inception is especially special, isn't it? Yeah, it is. It is because, you know, just as a Pacific person growing up here, we were used to the odd hit breaking through. OMC was huge. That's what, you know, every now and then there would be an Adi Ja song. But what Dawn Rae did was show that it's not a phase, it's not a fad,
Starting point is 00:35:11 that the way they strung their artists together really created something. And they did become the biggest music stars of the country, which for a group of youngsters from South Auckland, Wellington, and Tokoroa, Hamilton, you know, it was unusual. It started out from business school and Polytech and also selling T-shirts at markets. See, it's useful, those business courses. Yeah, they screw into something worldwide. It was amazing.
Starting point is 00:35:36 I thought it was just something to do for a couple of years. Polytech, it was just if you couldn't get into university. I went to Polytech. That was the attraction of Polytech. It was a six-month course. It wasn't the whole three, four years of being poor. We've got Oscar Kiley with us, director of a brand-new movie,
Starting point is 00:35:53 which is out now, the Dawn Raider documentary, Go and See It. It's an important part of New Zealand history. And any small to medium business enterprise, even individual contractors, should see this. I know you're probably not going to give away the spoilers, but there's a moment in the trailer where they're like and it all turned to custard.
Starting point is 00:36:09 We dropped the ball, we took our eye off the ball, it all went bad. What happened? Yeah, I can't give away the ball. You've got to go see it. You've got to go see it. I was trying to save on a movie ticket. You'd love it, bro. It'll take you back. It'll take you back. Now, before you go, you've been in so many great projects over the years.
Starting point is 00:36:25 We play a Wii game, Character Assassination, where you've got to remember the character's name of the thing that you were in. Okay. Okay, so Bro Town, a great animated series you helped create. What was the other character, the main character you voiced? Vale. Yeah, well done.
Starting point is 00:36:39 Well done, one for one. Sione's Wedding, and of course the sequel a few years later. What was your character's name? Albert because people still call me that in the street Oh do that Albert and I'm like
Starting point is 00:36:49 that was the character I played Do you remember when the Sione's Wedding and it was being sold in the flea markets wasn't it? I know I was in Otara Market
Starting point is 00:36:57 in December and this guy was like hey Oscar good film and I'm like it comes out in April I was like what the? Someone had burned it onto discs
Starting point is 00:37:07 and they were selling it at the flea market. Well, someone in the post-production house had stolen a copy, taken it home, burnt it, given it to their brother or something and then that was it. It was in the hood. But I don't mind bootlegs where someone gets up in the middle
Starting point is 00:37:20 and you see their head walking. That's part of the landscape. That's life. You get that. Stuff stolen from the edit suite. Stuff stolen from the edit suite. Stuff stolen from the edit suite. It wasn't even finished. That cut me.
Starting point is 00:37:30 2013, you starred alongside Sam Neill as a cop in a TV drama called Harry. Your character's name? Harry.
Starting point is 00:37:36 That's an easy one. Okay. Taika Waititi's Hunt for the Wilderpeople, 2016. Another cop you played. What was the cop's name? Andy.
Starting point is 00:37:43 Oh, you're good at this. You've got a good memory. Well, I haven't done that much acting. You're pretty much listing my CV. 2016, you voiced a character in Disney's Moana, which of course starred alongside The Rock. What was your character's name? The Fisherman.
Starting point is 00:37:56 The Fisherman. There we go. 100% well done. Well, that was a crucial scene because that's what made Moana go off to search for Te Fiti because all the fish had died. So pivotal, pivotal what made Moana go off to search for Te Fiti because all the fish had died. So pivotal, pivotal moment in Moana.
Starting point is 00:38:07 Pivotal moment in the movie. Did you voice that in a studio here or do you go over there and voice it with Dwayne The Rock Johnson? I was so excited thinking, yeah, yeah, LA, here I come.
Starting point is 00:38:15 And then they're like, no, there's a little studio just down the bottom of Key Street and you're going to be there. But it was crazy because I was there for an hour
Starting point is 00:38:23 and you've got like five directors from LA in the studio on the other side watching you for that whole time and getting you to do five versions of your like 10 lines. So they flew here especially for your voice session? No, no, it was all zoomed.
Starting point is 00:38:36 Oh, right. Where's the rock? Is he in the room with you? You brought the rock down here. Oh, I'm... Well, so good to have this in the world right now. Dawn Raid, the movie,
Starting point is 00:38:47 the documentary, go see it, New Zealand. And thanks for your time this morning, Oscar. Thank you, brothers. Love you lots. Yeah, please go see
Starting point is 00:38:53 the film. Paid to talk words and stuff into a microphone. It's New Zealand's Breakfast. Jono and Ben on the hits.
Starting point is 00:39:01 Scrolling through your page. Listen, whether he's breaking news or faking news, who cares? He's doing some heavy lifting at this time of the morning that I don't have to worry about. He's Ben Boyce with the news from overnight.
Starting point is 00:39:10 Now, Joe Biden, of course, was president yesterday, announced as president yesterday at his inauguration, sworn in, and amazing performances, obviously Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and this song from the New Radicals. They got together and they haven't been together for about 20 years. We were like, why are the New Radicals forming? Yeah, we thought it was an unusual act to ask to come back from the doldrums. And we said, well, they've probably got all other professions now.
Starting point is 00:39:35 One's probably a sensible economics teacher at school. Another one, I think, has evolved into Ponzi schemes online. But there's a lovely story behind why Biden wanted that song. Now, Joe Biden's son, Beau, unfortunately died a few years ago with cancer. And this was kind of the song that he would play every morning. Joe Biden thought it was kind of like his theme song. So every morning around breakfast, he would play this song to kind of motivate himself for the day. And they used this song at his funeral and his eulogy as well.
Starting point is 00:40:05 So, yeah, so Joe Biden had a real strong meaning behind this song and why he wanted it there. So it's pretty cool. Oh, that is a lovely message. Joe Biden's had a really rough run of it, personally. I thought his wife, his first wife died in a car crash with one of his kids. And then, as you just mentioned, his son, I think he was nearly 50. He was a great politician as well Biden said he was even better at politics than he was
Starting point is 00:40:29 he's saying he should have been president not me very touching reason the new radicals would have been monsters to say no to that sorry mate we don't play anymore nothing's pulling us back the Simpsons predicted many things over the years,
Starting point is 00:40:46 and yesterday they predicted the future once again because in an episode that aired in 2000 for The Simpsons, Lisa Simpson ran for president. She was president, I think, of America, and she was wearing like a purple pantsuit with a necklace, and it was very similar to the one that the vice president was wearing yesterday. The picture's uncanny. I mean, the only difference is Lisa's wearing a skivvy.
Starting point is 00:41:08 I'm a big fan of a skivvy. Annie Pryor donned me in skinnies for a lot of my childhood. Caused me a lot of trauma. Caused my neck a lot of trauma. But that's the only difference. The suit is almost identical. Many times the Simpsons have predicted the future over the years. They've predicted Nobel Peace Prize winners.
Starting point is 00:41:24 They've predicted voting scandals and elections. They've predicted Nobel Peace Prize winners. They've predicted voting scandals and elections. They've predicted a tomato tobacco plant. Remember that episode? Oh, yeah. That actually became a thing. They predicted Apple Smart, well, not Apple Smartwatches, but Smartwatches. Wow. Like years in advance.
Starting point is 00:41:37 You know, the thing's been running for 27 years. Well, they've had so many episodes, that's surely some of it. And you're going to have some hits and misses over the years, aren't you? Yeah. I mean, we're probably saying some crap on this program that might come
Starting point is 00:41:47 to fruition in a few years time. No one's giving us any credit for it. Yeah but it was very similar
Starting point is 00:41:52 to what Camilla Harris and Lisa Simpson was wearing. It was so similar right? Yeah. It was identical.
Starting point is 00:41:58 Yeah. I've got nothing more on that. And no real predictions from you? Nothing? Well we made some
Starting point is 00:42:05 wild predictions for 2021 earlier in the week too and I made I don't know if this will eventuate I reckon
Starting point is 00:42:13 August, June, July even September, October it might be a bit cooler this year than other months alright I'm wrapping you up that's my prediction and that is scrolling
Starting point is 00:42:21 for your feed when that comes to fruition you give me that credit real kiwi blokes with soy lattes. Mmm. Shono and Ben, breakfast on the hits. The A to Z of New Zealand. This is something we do every day on the show.
Starting point is 00:42:35 We call a different town or city in New Zealand. We call one a day to learn about that town, and we do it alphabetically. It's going to take us over two years to call every town and city. We're deep in the K-hole at the moment. Kingston we're heading to today, which is located just next to Queenstown there. You could say Kingston is the king to Queenstown.
Starting point is 00:42:57 You could say that. I don't know if many people would say that, but isn't that interesting? I wonder if that's why it happens. King and queen, yeah. Well, listen, I did no further research into that, so I don't have any answers for you. But looking at Kingston, you know, look at this place.
Starting point is 00:43:10 Slap it on a postcard and set up a $3.95 at your local petrol station. It's the type of sort of picturesque image that we peddle off to people overseas to con them to come and visit our country. Not many people reside in this lakeside woodland location. It's the type of setting where you'd find an ex-marine chopping wood all lonely at the beginning of a movie where he's asked to come back out of retirement to save the present. That's what I
Starting point is 00:43:33 imagine this place is like. But we're going to go through to Kingston now to a very special lady who I understand Millennial Max has teed up named Laura. Very special lady in the community. We'll call her now. Morning, Laura speaking. Morning, Laura speaking. This is Jono and or Ben speaking. You may not be familiar with either of us,
Starting point is 00:43:56 but we're bombarding you with an unnecessary phone call. What kind of Kiwi would live under a rock who didn't know who the both of you were? Really, guys. Come on. Whether they like to our fragile egos. I like it. Whether they like us or not is a whole other conversation. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:09 Those annoying guys. Now, you're in Kingston. Mighty, mighty Kingston. I'm 45 minutes south of Queenstown, around the lake. We are the quieter, lesser populated Queenstown, and the more beautiful, if I must say. Oh, stop trying to say you're the same as Queenstown. No, no. I said we're better than Queenstown. Oh, better than Queenstown and the more beautiful, if I must say. Oh, stop trying to say you're the same as Queenstown. No, no. I said we're better than Queenstown.
Starting point is 00:44:27 Oh, better than Queenstown. I'm sorry. Now, Laura, what do you do in Kingston? I do a couple of things. I've started an agritourism business called Real Country that COVID pretty much wiped out. So now I just teach groups of people farm skills and how to shoot guns. So that's
Starting point is 00:44:45 a bit of a laugh. So you're quite the handier. You can milk a cow, you can shear a sheep. I actually shored my first sheep on Country Calendar, which aired a couple of months ago. So I wouldn't say I'm good at it, but I'll give anything a go. You're on Country Calendar? That's the pinnacle of New Zealand TV shows. That's the biggest rating show. I'm not joking here, right? This is the biggest thing in the country. It's definitely the biggest thing in the country. I'm not lying.
Starting point is 00:45:08 Oh, listen to it. Listen to that music. Doesn't that warm the cockles of your cold, cold, cold heart? Country calendar. We were talking to someone at TVNZ. They're like, we're not kidding. This has been the highest rating program for decades. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:22 Decades. And what is it about? They just turn up with a camera at a farm. That's country stories, mate. I watch this. I sit down with my mum, Jenny. She loves it. We sit down with a cup of tea and we watch it.
Starting point is 00:45:30 And it's always great, great, wholesome entertainment. I tell you what, for any rural folk, and you might be able to confirm this, Laura, for any rural folk, getting the call from the Country Calendar producer must be a happy day. It's definitely a happy day, but it's also very nerve-wracking. You couldn't even share a sheep and you agreed to it, right? I know.
Starting point is 00:45:49 I'll do anything to get on Country Calendar. I'll share myself. Do you want me to share you? That's basically how I got them. That's right. Yeah, I'll do anything. And that camera crew left freshly shaved that day. I'm looking at photos of Kingston.
Starting point is 00:46:05 It looks incredible. Amazing views of the lake and scenery. It's awesome. Yeah, no, we are very lucky. We've got an epic golf course, which must be one of the few great courses left in the country where the green fees are only $10. Oh, I love it.
Starting point is 00:46:19 We've got the pub, the Kingston Fire Pub, which does the best hot chips in the country. And they let me tie up my horse for lengths of time while I'm in there drinking ciders just outside. It's always very handy. Do you commute via horseback? You don't get done for drink driving that way.
Starting point is 00:46:37 I don't know if there may be some anyway. And so, the Kingston Flyer, the train. They bring it out for special occasions, and they are trying to get it going again, which would be epic if they did, because for train lovers, it's a beautiful piece of kit.
Starting point is 00:46:52 It's the kind of Harry Potter-esque, isn't it? Like the Harry Potter train. Very much the Harry Potter train. And I remember growing up, I grew up in the area, we had a school visit to the train, and we had like these robbers on horseback galloping alongside and they held us up at gunpoint and took my $5 note and it was really exciting.
Starting point is 00:47:12 Oh, right. You still got held up in an armed robbery as a child. Yes. But all part of a show, right? Yeah. They don't give the money back though. Broadcasting live and mostly awake. Jono and Ben Ben New Zealand's breakfast
Starting point is 00:47:25 On the hits Wellington anniversary weekend This weekend So a long weekend For Wellington So around that region So that's awesome It's a city that you can't beat
Starting point is 00:47:34 On a good day That's what we're constantly That's the propaganda We're constantly fed From Wellington Ben I was in the Supermarket yesterday And do you know
Starting point is 00:47:40 One of my Little dirty secrets Is I love having a rifle Through the magazine aisle Are you one of those people That read it Is I love having a rifle through the magazine aisle. Are you one of those people that read it by the checkouts and then just put it back? Yeah. Is that your thing? I just love catching up with the goss.
Starting point is 00:47:53 Have a flick through Home and Garden. I've never actually read Home and Garden, but I do read like New Weekly and stuff, all the trashy ones. I love them. It used to be a thing at the doctor's surgery, but they'd always be so outdated. You'd be like, oh, Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt are together. Princess died?
Starting point is 00:48:09 Died in a car accident? I know, you find out a lot of stuff if you don't have the internet. But they do say that, you know, the internet killed the magazine industry. They also said video would kill the radio star. Look at the radio star.
Starting point is 00:48:22 Should probably be dead, to be honest, but we're still here. No. Batt battling away. But what I do like about the magazines going through, at the back, they always have, like, sort of paparazzi-style shots of celebrities just going about mundane activities, you know,
Starting point is 00:48:38 pushing a supermarket trolley out of the supermarket or, you know, doing gardening or things like that. But they've got an obsession with listing their age. Oh, right. Katy Perry, 36. Walking with Orlando Bloom, 41. I don't know what the obsession is with
Starting point is 00:48:56 like it's necessary to go, oh, you should be walking at that age. Ben Boyce, 37. John O'Prior, 39. Talking absolute rubbish and getting up to usual shenanigans here. So I don't know why they're all about age shaming, but I enjoy it when I see their age. It's an interesting thing,
Starting point is 00:49:12 isn't it? You're right. It's got to a stage now where the magazine industry, and great as well, has had a bit of a revival, hasn't it? Still kicking on and there's some very specific titles of magazines. And so I'd love to play a game with you called Is This A Magazine or Is This Not
Starting point is 00:49:30 A Magazine? In the past you've played these games before and they've all not been the things you've just made up. Yeah there's been a huge... It's been 100% not what it is. It's been a huge flaw in my format. Is this a candle or a candle scent or not?
Starting point is 00:49:45 None of them were actual candle scents. And then I said, is this a body wash or is this not a body wash? Another one of my favourite game shows. But anyway, I'll play. No, but I knew this conversation would happen. That's why I actually went to the lengths of researching some unusual... I've even got photographic evidence of them if you need it. Oh, good.
Starting point is 00:50:01 I like this. This is great. Okay, the first one. Can we get some game show music, Maxi? We'll check some game show music on. Okay, here's the first one. Oh, good. I like this. This is great. Okay, the first one. Can we get some game show music? Maxi, we'll chuck some game show music on. Okay, here's the first one, Benjamin, boys. Portaloo Weekly. Now, I'll give you a bit of a background on the magazine.
Starting point is 00:50:14 An industry-style magazine for those working in the Portaloo delivery industry. I don't know what technological advancements have happened with Portaloos that it requires a weekly edition. Yeah, I'm going to say no, not a magazine. It's a magazine in America. No. It's a magazine for the... It is.
Starting point is 00:50:34 Without a doubt. I will show you the photo of the magazine after this. Wow. Okay. Boats and bangers. And a magazine dedicated to aficionados of boats and or sausages. Is that a magazine or not a magazine? No, I'm going to say not a magazine.
Starting point is 00:50:50 Jeez, you're on fire. You're so good at this game. I'm 50-50 so far. Okay. Glasses and Arses. A six-monthly magazine catering for a demographic that combines a love of spectacles and donkeys. Glasses and Arses. Oh, look, I'm going and donkeys. Glasses and arses.
Starting point is 00:51:07 I'm going to throw out. Let's go actual magazine. No. Okay. None from three so far. I've got one. I've got one. Drunkard magazine. Written for alcohol aficionados, including articles on how to smuggle booze into a funeral, how to never lose a bar argument, and convincingly

Ben Boyce Productions Limited proudly presents Jono Pryor's Worst Moments of the week. Ben Boyce Productions Limited proudly presents Jono Fryer's worst moments of the week. And here is my dear, dear friend, Ben Boyce, giving it a good honest crack to make me unemployed.
Starting point is 00:52:33 He does it once a week, don't you? We did it every week last year. At the end of the week, we look back at some of Jono's worst moments over the week, and we were talking about the lovable Sir Tom Moore in the UK. He, of course, he raised a lot of money, but he's pretty much 100 years old, and he walked around and around his property,
Starting point is 00:52:49 raised a lot of money, and he also got knighted. I remember that. And this was off the news that Liam Neeson was going to retire from action movies. Yes, the star of action movies like Taken, and this is what you had to say about the lovable Sir Tom Moore. I'll put my money on it now that in three days there'll be a news story going,
Starting point is 00:53:05 Captain Tom Moore wants to fill in for Liam Neeson now. Sir Captain Moore. Sir Captain Tom Moore taken to the funeral home of Tom Moore. Taken to the Lawn Bowls Club
Starting point is 00:53:17 for morning tea. And just on Action Movie Heroes, Bruce Willis, you know him from the Die Hard movies. Well, he's responded up. Tell you who Die Hard, Tom. I from the Die Hard movies. Well, he's responded Tell you'll die hard, Tom. I'm sorry, Tom.
Starting point is 00:53:27 Yeah, unnecessary. Why do I keep going in on the lovable? How old's Tom? 120? Tell you're unnecessary. Back off. Stick with McCormick. Yeah. That's right. Keep it local.
Starting point is 00:53:43 Right. Now, Leonardo DiCaprio, you went in on him as well, the Hollywood actor, because we found out this week that he'd helped out some native New Zealand birds that were almost extinct, and he helped them out, and this is what the conversation had to say. Leonardo DiCaprio, I didn't know this, he helped save some New Zealand, rare New Zealand birds. The kaki, or the black stilt bird,
Starting point is 00:54:06 has been saved from extinction thanks to Leonardo DiCaprio and a donation he made. Usually the birds he saves are around 19 years old. That's what I mean. He'd be like, yeah, he helped save some young chicks
Starting point is 00:54:16 in this article, and I'm like, oh, they really signed him up on something he didn't know. You like young chicks? He's like, yeah. Do I what? I keep getting older.
Starting point is 00:54:22 They stay the same age. You want to save some birds in New Zealand? He's like, yeah, birds from all over the world. I've used all the birds in America. You said I went out on them. That was probably about a 55-45 spread there, my friend. So if we ever meet Leo, we're both guilty.
Starting point is 00:54:37 Yeah, okay. Fair enough. The Australian Tennis Open is due to happen very shortly. A lot of the players are quarantining in hotels. And we had some exclusive audio of some of the players practising tennis in their hotel rooms. And in John O'Ban exclusive, we've actually obtained some audio from someone who has actually resided next door.
Starting point is 00:54:58 I think to Novak Djokovic. He's not wanting to drop any training time. And this is the exclusive audio we have for you. Oh. Oh. Oh. who's not wanting to drop any training time. And this is the exclusive audio we have for you. It's the summers hitting a tennis, like the grunt of a tennis. So the tennis ball's against the wall. Yeah, it's a shot hitting the wall. Yeah, it's a set list.
Starting point is 00:55:16 And he's giving it his all there. Sure, that's right, but anyway. Pretty sure it was the tennis audio. I don't know, producer Humphrey loaded it in. Was it the tennis audio? Something from a hotel room, anyway. Do you know, Producer Humphrey loaded it in. Was it the tennis audio? Something from a hotel room anyway. Do you know, can we pull that curtain? That wasn't an effect.
Starting point is 00:55:31 That wasn't a professional tennis player. That was our Producer Humphrey making those noises. To try and be, pretend to be a tennis player. It was disturbing to know that you know how to make that. I just don't even want to think about Producer Humphrey. We were just like, can we get some noise of a tennis ball hitting the wall? He was like,
Starting point is 00:55:46 yeah, I added in the hitting sound and we were like, oh, okay. Of the grunt. He was like, okay, that was all him.
Starting point is 00:55:52 Really took it to a family friendly place there. Now we've got a new newsreader doing a wonderful job here at The Hits. Rachel Jackson-Lees reads news for us every morning
Starting point is 00:56:01 right around the country and she came in yesterday and John, I had taken the time to learn her name. First of all, we want to welcome Rachel. Rachel. Rachel. Is that what we're calling her now?
Starting point is 00:56:14 Rachel. Rachel, our new newsreader. Jono hasn't taken time to learn your name. No. But he'll get there. Maybe by tomorrow. And Rachel's resigned today due to workplace bullying. You could just tell that she's like, oh, that's going to be my name now.
Starting point is 00:56:30 That's going to be, yeah. I'm sorry, Rachel. No, she's doing a bloody good job. It's wonderful to have Rachel on board. And finally, yeah, you came back from holidays and you had a bit of a tog incident that you reflected on at the beach. Last year, I was embroiled in a see-through tog incident that you reflected on at the beach. Last year, I was embroiled in a see-through tog scandal.
Starting point is 00:56:49 Yes, yes, I remember that. For five days. None of my loved ones told me that my togs were see-through. And you could see my sandbags through my togs until a friend alerted me of it. Five days later, I was like,
Starting point is 00:57:02 Gen, you're my wife. You've been to my back. My backside, you can see it. Clearly, you can see this. you're my wife. You've been to my back. My backside. You can see it. Clearly you can see this. So no one said anything. No. There we go. That was Jono's worst moments of the week. Can I apologise to any of the New Zealand community who may have seen that
Starting point is 00:57:15 incident as well. I know there was some incidents on the beach with sunburn during the year. But that was probably the worst one. Add these two men together and somehow you get three quarters worth of a normal dad. The Hits, with Jono and Ben for breakfast. Spy. No WhatsApp.
Starting point is 00:57:31 Spy.co.nz. Producer Juliet's away at Outward Bound, and here he is with Spy, because coincidentally, I spied him stealing someone's lunch from the communal work fridge yesterday. Ben Boyce, anything you want to say about that? Let's not talk about that right now, because I need to talk about Chrissy Teigen,
Starting point is 00:57:45 American celebrity who's awesome. Went to the inauguration yesterday to watch husband John Legend perform and had a little bit of an accident. She lost a tooth while eating a fruit roll-up. Which, you know, you can understand those things can be quite hard, those sort of dried fruits that are rolled
Starting point is 00:58:02 up. Are you talking about your traditional, how they've all been flattened down and pressed, you know, the roll-ups, and then you'd have them in your lunchbox at school? Yeah, that's what I think it is. I don't know. I mean, being in America, they might be slightly different. I thought they were quite soft in nature. Who's ever lost a tooth on a
Starting point is 00:58:18 fruit roller? Well, Chrissy Teigen. How shocking is her oral health? She's got teeth just hanging in there by a thread on her gums. Oh, it's going to go any minute now. And she's finally been followed by the President on social media. She's awesome on social media, but she's been sort of sparring with Donald Trump
Starting point is 00:58:33 over the last four years, and he's blocked her. He doesn't follow her, obviously. But now there's a new President. She tweeted during the week, she's like, hey, Joe Biden, can I get a follow now? And she's one of the first 12 people to be followed on the official president account. And the other 11 are all politicians. She's the only person that's not a politician to be followed so far by Joe Biden's presidential account.
Starting point is 00:58:54 So that's pretty cool, eh? And great. She sent a selfie back to him of a toothless smile. Thumbs up and a toothless smile. That's good. I always wonder why she didn't go with Chrissy Legend. If I married someone called Legend, I'd be like, I am definitely taking your last name. Yes.
Starting point is 00:59:09 Anything's better than Jonathan Pryor. Jonathan Legend. I know. Johnny Legend. Oh, Johnny Legend. Change my name to Johnny Legend. I've got a rebrand happening. Starting Monday, I will become Johnny Legend.
Starting point is 00:59:24 And I thought this was pretty cool. Country music star Garth Brooks. Now, country music is massive in America, and it was pretty awesome to see him performing there yesterday at the inauguration. He was one of the many artists that performed. He came out in an enormous cowboy hat. He took it off, and everyone's like,
Starting point is 00:59:38 he's got hair plugs. That's what the internet was going. Is Garth Brooks bald? I don't know. Well, everyone was talking about that yesterday. I don't know the history of Garth Brooks' hair. But he joked he might be the only Republican there at
Starting point is 00:59:50 Joe Biden's inauguration. When he came out, I know we all mentioned because we saw him on the screen and we were like, oh, that's unusual for a country artist, traditionally a Republican fan base, that would be performing at the inauguration of a Democratic president. But I thought it was awesome that he did that because it helps, you know, hopefully unify
Starting point is 01:00:06 America. They're going to go, oh, so there's a country music star that's, you know, loved by many people all over America. Is that why he did it? I think so. Yeah. He's been really, really quite vocal against some things that wouldn't traditionally be, you know, vocal with country music over the years.
Starting point is 01:00:18 So that's awesome. But then afterwards, a couple of people also gave him grief because he went, he's obviously all, you know, he did his song, he's quite happy, and went and hugged a lot of the presidents afterwards without wearing a mask. And everyone's like, oh, mate. Well, if he's a Trump supporter, he doesn't believe in COVID. I get it.
Starting point is 01:00:34 Yeah. I get it. I'm going to go Garth Brooks hair plugs. I just want to see. Yeah, where are you? Oh, you know he's got hair plugs. Okay, that is scrolling. I need to get hold of his hair plug, Doctor.
Starting point is 01:00:44 Johnny Legend back on Monday with hair plugs and a new name. Yeah, that is scrolling therapy. I need to get hold of his hair plug doctor. Johnny Legend back on Monday with hair plugs and a new name. Yeah, yeah, no. Yeah, no. Yeah, no. The home of yeah, no.
Starting point is 01:00:52 She'll be right and at the end of the day Jono and Ben breakfast on the hits. The 660 vibes of course they're playing on their 660 Saturdays
