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. Ben, welcome to the podcast intro today. We were just saying before turning on the mics, there's nothing really meaty to tease to in today's podcast, is there? Usually you like to hook your teeth into like, oh, we've got bloody Prime Minister on the show. We've got, you know. What are you saying? There's no point listening to the podcast? The Dalai Lama on the show?

Not today, no. No, I'm not saying there's no point because I had a really, I had a fun time doing the show this morning. It was fun. I just can't remember what we did and there was nothing that was like, wow, that's going to be,

you know, something to really statue. Do you not remember when I talked about going on an escalator when it's not going? Do you not remember that? Vaguely? Vaguely?

Oh, and how it confused you. It was hot fire content from the weekend. I was like, John, I will like this. Yeah, I mean, it was... That was a standout moment for me. Like I was saying,

I really enjoyed it. There was plenty of fun. I don't even know if that would be at the podcast, to be honest. It was just a small bit in between something. I'll be surprised if it is. Yeah, but I can't...

I just can't... Nothing teasable. But that's fine. No. Because, you know, this is the game we're in. Some days you have really good shows and some days, I'm not saying this was a bad show. No, it was a good show.

Well, I won't say it was a good show. No, it was middling. It was a middling program. It was a good show for us. Yeah. For us. Yeah. I mean, it was a four out of ten and those are the lofty highs that we just try to reach

every day. If we had a five out of ten, we take the rest of the day off. Yeah, yeah. Because we can. We finish at nine. We finish at nine. Yeah, yeah. So anyway, after We finish at nine. We finish, yeah, yeah. So anyway, after that fantastic show, enjoy the podcast.

Just like a chocolate milkshake, only white and disappointing. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. On Friday, went round to some friend's house, and they had quite a big gathering. There was quite a few of us there. And at some stage during the night, the person whose house it was was like, how about, was like,

how about, to me, how about you plug your phone into the sound system? You work in radio? Your music can play out for everyone. Oh, dear God. We'll put it on shuffle. Oh, no. Oh, no, please don't. That's a game of Russian roulette.

You know the bullet's coming at some point. I know. Like, I have, I don't profess to be very cool. You know, like I have a wide variety. I have some stuff in there that people go, oh, that's quite cool. But then I like my pop music. I like my 90s hip hop.

And then I have a lot of stuff that the kids have put on there. And then I have a lot of embarrassing stuff that I put on there. It's a wild mix. It's a wild west of music. And throughout the night, the night just resulted in me going, oh, as the songs would start and I'd go across and just shuffle again on the phone. Oh, you became the annoying person at the party who changes the song before it's finished?

Oh, yeah, because it was. I mean, we started off with some kids. There was this one. What's this? We had some Wiggles. The kids. There was no kids in the lounge. I hope you played the full song.

No, I was like, oh, there's the Wiggles. That was one of the kids' ones. And there was a theme tune to a Disney Junior TV show. Sophia the First. That played. That played as well. And then it kind of went into stuff that I had to take. That one, you're like, yeah, at least you could palm off to the kids.

Kids, kids, kids. But then at one stage, Michael Bublé played. It wasn't even Christmas Michael Bublé. It was Michael Bublé non-Christmas. That was me. I put that one on there. No one else. Why had you loaded Bublé. It was Michael Bublé non-Christmas. That was me. I put that one on there. No one else. Why had you loaded Bublé on?

It was non-Christmas Bublé. Let's not get started with that. So I've got some stuff on there. And then finally, again, this one. Oh, the Bartman from The Simpsons. Bartman. And again, that was mine. It was mixed in with some Coldplay, some Vanessa Carlton.

I mean, you could not get a whiter playlist if you tried. There was some stuff in there. I was trying, oh, there's some 90s hip-hop in there. And everyone's like, yeah, sure there is. It's there somewhere. Honestly. Shuffle is just a... Do you guys like Vanilla Ice?

Yeah. He's 90s hip-hop. No, I respect you, though. You've got to respect anyone who puts their phone on shuffle Oh, you can't do it It takes a lot of confidence It really does I'm just not that person

I could probably go through and I could find songs and go Oh, this person would like this song Otherwise, I mean, there's some embarrassing things on there You would have liked to have had some warning So you could have catered a playlist Yeah, made a playlist Yeah, some pre-warning I just like'll plug your phone

and just see what happens. You monster. I know. Why would you do this to me? You're like, oh, you work on radio. Yeah, but I'm not choosing the songs. I'm no saying what's playing. Hey, hey, I'm 800 of the hits. I'll delve into my phone next and see what I've got. I bet I've got

shockers. I've got probably anything from Christina Aguilera to Cannibal Corpse. It's a wide variety. It's amazing what you just loaded in there. Sometimes when I've got. I bet I've got some shockers. I've got probably anything from Christina Aguilera to Cannibal Corpse. It's a wide variety. It's amazing what you just loaded in there. Sometimes when you've got Spotify or Apple Music or things like that, you just gotta add them in there because you don't have to pay for them. It's great when you've got a partner and kids. I mean, that's the best thing about having them is you can blame them for the other music on there.

Alright, name and shame yourself, alright? What's the worst song on your playlist? Oh, 800 the hits, we'd love your calls. We might find a prize because it's a Monday morning for our favourite one. Oh, 800 The Hits with Love Your Calls. We might find a prize because it's a Monday morning for our favourite one. Oh, listen, I found this thing. This is a beauty. Nickelback.

Nickelback. You're starting with Nickelback. Yes. There we go. This is my first black mark. And their jam figured you out. I like your pants around your feet. I like them around your feet.

They should be around your waist. What? I like the dirt that's on your knees. Need to have a shower? Okay. So I don't know if they know this song that well from Nickelback. Was this one of their hits? While you're looking up at me, you're like my favorite damn disease.

You're my favorite disease. I don't know what his list of top diseases are. It's like Crohn's disease, autoimmune disease, liver disease. I don't know. I don't know where they come into this but you're my

favourite of all them. Hey, out of all the diseases, you're my favourite. You'll be like, oh, thanks. It's a lovely

compliment. Very nice. So touching. Romantic. So you have some nickelback on yours. There you go. Let's go to the

phone. Charlotte, welcome to the show. How are you? Good morning. Shame yourself. Most embarrassing song on the phone.

It has to be Redneck's Cod and I Joe. how are you? Good morning. Shame yourself. Most embarrassing song on the phone? It is it has to be Red Mix Cotton Eye Joe. Now that's now that's on TikTok now though there's a lot of TikTok

dancers to Cotton Eye Joe because my kids are like ah Cotton Eye Joe I'm like oh my god are you playing Cotton Eye Joe? And I was huge. Isn't it great that there's going to be

a whole other generation regretting Cotton Eye Joe? Not just us. Oh, I love it. Yeah. I mean, where does this date back to? Like, at what point did you think it was a good life decision to add this to the playlist?

I couldn't tell you, but, yeah, it's just still going strong. I love it. Do you let it play out when it's in a group situation or you skip through? Oh, it depends on the mood. I read the room. Here we go with guys about Adam B, but just me, okay. Okay, mode. I read the room. Good. Here we go. Guys, I'm Adam B. Just me?

Okay. Okay, we're not in a barn. No one's ready for a hoedown. On to the next song. Oh, I love it. Thank you for sharing this morning. I appreciate it. Alex, good to have you on the phone.

Welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast. Shame Yourself. Embarrassing song on the playlist. What is it? Oh, good day, mate. Hey, I always find it pretty hard to get up in the morning, and there was an 80s TV show called MacGyver. I know, I know.

You play the theme tune, do you? Oh, this is a good theme tune. When it kicks in, MacGyver. Oh, yeah, for sure. It's the only way to get up in the morning, mate. There's other ways to get up in the morning, but this is a preferred option. Do you like it?

You started with the night, and so you, there you go. Dan, dan, dan, dan, dan, dan, dan. He would always it? You started with the not, and so you, there you go. Dun, dun, dun. Dun, dun, dun. He would always save the day. He didn't have guns or anything, but he always saved the day with what he had, right? Yeah, like a paperclip and a piece of chewing gum, and it would somehow break out of prison. He was like 80s nano girl that was using science. Oh, it was me.

It was pretty incredible. Hey, that's a great theme tune. I like it. Yep, no worries, guys. Do you lie in bed listening to this, or this is as you're brushing your teeth and preparing and drying your... I'm just jumping out of bed, mate. That's all you can do to that.

It's okay. I wouldn't be embarrassed about MacGyver. No, I like that one. Hey, you've got toothpaste on the side of your mouth. It's Jono and Ben on my hips. Now, there's... Just before we started, you said, I've got this.

I said, you can do this. I thought you said, I've got this. I said, you can do this. I thought he said, I've got it. Oh, if you want me to do it, I can do it. We stumbled across a news story. There was a guy who was sculpting sort of an old colonial style light surrounding that you'd have with plaster, you know, on your roof. It looks all pretty and designed. Anyway, he ran out of putty and it wasn't sticking properly.

So he found an alternate use for New Zealand's favourite yeasty spread. Yeah. I love a yeasty spread. Marmite. Yeah. So he started using marmite to mould the sculpture. Here's a bit of a conundrum.

All these little wrinkles are because my mould isn't firm enough and I've kind of made a bit of a cock up. And it's not setting as well as it should. So I just shot down to the shop, get some bloody Blu-Tack, and that won't stick to the plaster. But I found out something that does. Marmite. Sticks down like bloody glue.

So there you go. I love how he made the leap from Blu-Tack to Marmite. I guess he's just looking around what he had, and he put some Marmite on there. We love in New Zealand getting celebrities from overseas to try Marmite. I know, it is horrific. I love Marmite. I love it, but it's an acquired taste.

It tastes a little bit, and then when you get a spoonful of it and you've never had it before, you're like, have this, have this Hollywood celebrity. I know, but you're such a, it's a fine line between overdosing on Marmite and having the perfect amount. Like a spoonful

is no way to introduce anyone to our preferred yeasty spread. Put some of the, you know, a little bit of pasta on top. A few little dots. Maybe put some cheese on top or something like that

just so you know, warm yourself up. So I'll be like, here you go. They're like, why would you give me this? Or many a celebrity. Hey, I live in Thailand, I you go. They're like, why would you give me this? Or many a celebrity... Hey, I live in Thailand. I have a big spoonful of Marmite.

Put that on the herald.co.nz. No one in New Zealand would eat a spoonful of Marmite. No, I remember Marmageddon and we ran out of Marmite and we were losing our crackers. I've survived off the same jar of Marmite for 19 years. Oh, we were worried about it because that's how much we love Marmite. But I love that

this guy used Marmite for an alternate use, right? Oh, great. Yeah, Kiwi Ingenuity. Kiwi Ingenuity at its finest. So, what we want to know on 0800 that has alternate product uses. A friend of mine would wash his car parts in the dishwasher and it would drive the household bonkers. I mean, you

don't want oily bloody gearboxes in your dishwasher, do you? What's in there? It's just a hubcap, mate. Do you know what? We discovered once, we rented a B&B and one of the kids were eating spaghetti bolognese, spilt the tomato sauce all over this chair

and it was like white sort of leather and nothing could get it off. I'm like, oh my God, this is going to be expensive. Looks like a murder scene. Yeah. And then we looked online and talcum powder. We put talcum powder on it and it got rid of it. Wow.

It was like, thank goodness for talcum powder, otherwise I'd be buying this chair. So there you go, alternate use for talcum powder. We had to wear a suit yesterday, didn't we, for work and they forgot to put those pocket squares that you put in, like the hanky chief things. Yeah. They forgot, they didn't have any,

so they used colourful socks. You just didn't even notice the difference. Alternate uses. What are you doing? Surprise us this morning. We might find something for you. Nicole, welcome. Product alternate uses.

The other way around. We use tomato sauce to clean copper pots. You know when they go a bit dull? It shines them up. Tomato sauce? A little bit of synchronised around sound there. Good response, Ben. Wow.

So who discovered this? My father taught me that. But there's another use for it as well. Some people put copper in their swimming pools to keep the water clear, but then kids with blonde hair who swim, their hair will turn a bit green and you can use tomato sauce to take the green out of their hair too. Jeez, your dad could solve any of the issues in the world with tomato sauce and copper. He could probably solve this pandemic. You know what you need?

Some tomato sauce, a little bit of copper. I'll get rid of COVID. Wow. That's incredible. Thank you, Nicole. Appreciate it. Stephen Taupo, welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast. Alternate product uses.

White pepper. So you get the shaker on the old table there. If you've got a head gasket in your car that's leaking and you can't afford to get it fixed, pour a packet of a dollar white pepper in your radiator and it will fix it for about six months.

And you can also pull the rubber on your windscreen if it's leaking and sprinkle it in behind there and it will stop all the leaks as well. What happens in six months? Yeah, go on, what happens in six months? Your car explodes into a ball of flames. No, you sell it real quick. Oh, sell it real quick.

And if someone drives around in the Peppermobile. Make me not recommended. Well, thank you, Steve. I appreciate that. Sell it quick. Thank you, Steve. Jamie, on 0800, the product alternate uses. What have you got? Jamo. Oh, Jamo says she uses Vaseline as a moisturiser,

which also, you'd be very waterproof, wouldn't you? You'd have quite a waterproof face. But our boxes, they come out with it on, because it stops cuts and bleeding and stuff like that. You've got quite a shiny complexion, I imagine, with a layer of Vaseline on your head. I like it. Let's go to Larissa.

Alternate product uses. What have you got, Larissa? So sometimes I need to dry my undies, and dry is broken. You just pop them in a salad spinner. It's also how you end up with a Caesar salad with a bed of underpants. Yeah, basically.

I've never thought of dry Mondays in the salad spinner, but maybe I will now. She's putting her salad in the dryer, and it's a win-win situation. Thank you, Larissa. Thank you so much for your calls. Appreciate everyone's calls there. They were great.

New Zealand's breakfast. Just don't eat them. They're chewy. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Notice election hoardings are already up around the country. Oh, I can't wait for many genitals to be drawn on your favourite politicians over the next two or three months. Let's just put them up.

They're just kind of asking for it, aren't they? Really, it seems like, in a way. But hopefully people can resist the urge. One of my favourite hobbies is going around drawing obscene things on politicians' faces. You ran for Parliament, didn't you? A long time ago, yeah, but we never had hoardings as such. That's a whole other marketing budget. Oh, is it?

Yeah. It's quite expensive to put those up, I imagine, the hoarding. Yeah, yeah. There's a lot of wood. Well, you've seen a hoarding. You know what they look like. I don't have to describe the structure, make-up of a hoarding. No, keep going.

Yeah. There's a bit of core fluters. Okay, no, stop that. Stop. The A to Z of New Zealand. Bowning every town and city in Aotearoa. There's 570 of them. It's going to take us two and a half years.

I feel very sorry for the landlines. Apologies to Spark. We are pushing you to the limits. Yes, it's a fun little segment, though, because we get to learn a lot about New Zealand, one town at a time. And today, where are we going? We're heading to Collingwood,

which is a town at the very left-hand tip of the top of the South Island. At one stage, the small town was going to be the capital of New Zealand. Really? Thanks to its rich and vast coal mining, but then they decided that was going to be a horrible decision. The town has almost been destroyed by fire

three times throughout its history. Out of the top eight things to do in Collingwood, seven of them involve walking. If you like walking through the bush, walking over a bridge, walking to the farewell spit, the northernmost tip of the South Island. So if your legs aren't tired now,

they will be by the time you visit Collingwood. All right, well, let's make a call. Collingwood Park Pat Mattel. Good morning. Hello there. You haven't said your name, so I'm going to guess your name. Are we talking to a Suzanne? No, we're not talking to a Suzanne.

Okay. Is it a vet? No. You sound like Helen. Are you a Helen? No, not a Helen. Oh, Ben, what do you reckon? I will go with Susie. No. Linda. Helen. Oh, Ben, what do you reckon? I would go with Susie?

No. Linda? No. Leanne? Were you wanting accommodation? It's Jono and Ben from the Hits radio station here. How are you? Good.

I'm not sure how you got my number. We are calling every town and city in New Zealand. We're doing one a day. We're doing it alphabetically. And today we're on to your place. Oh, where am I? You're in Collingwood. I am.

And Collingwood is two hours from Nelson. Our first thing we got right. That was good. 30 minutes from Takaka. No, 20 minutes from Takaka. Oh, apologies, mate. I'll shave 10 minutes off it. There's no traffic.

It's fine. Tell us about the place because we like to learn a little bit about each town and place in New Zealand. Collingwood is a destination. It's the best road trip one could take. It's at the end of State Highway 60. Only the hardy come here. Oh, only the toughest of the tough.

Yeah, right. Your motel looks delicious. Thank you. It looks clean. It's a very clean motel. We aim for clean and comfortable. Yeah, you could see the people from CSI could come in with one of their lights, the ultraviolet lights. It'd be stain free.

That's dead right. Alright, a seal colony as well. I see it's a place to enjoy scallops, art galleries and scenery. That's right. Collingwood is based right in the middle of Golden Bay. 40 minutes in every direction. There's lots to do, especially if you like nature. I was just going to say,

every time I think of Golden Bay, I think of naked people. I think of naturists. There is a naked bike ride once a year. You guys like being naked, and that's not a bad thing. Are you naked right now?

No. Because I imagine right now? No. No. Now, because I imagine there'll be a lot of naturists around there. I'm really fixated by this. Sorry about that. A lot of people come here to do the Fairwells for Eco tours. Naked? No.

They're fully clothed. There might be a naked option. I don't know. Maybe go there on a naked tour bus But they're not actually Naked on the bus Jono What are you looking at

Right now The Ayer Rariestory Oh nice Wonderful I love the view From my office Oh that's great Well it's been really

Lovely chatting to you Thank you for your time today And did you want To know my name I was just about to say I want to keep guessing I want to keep guessing We never got that

Is it Amelia It's Karen? I was just about to say. I want to keep guessing. I want to keep guessing. We never got that. Is it Amelia? It's Karen. Karen! I was about to say Karen. I was. No, you weren't. Karen. Karen's getting a bit of a hard time at the moment, aren't they?

Yeah. Well, it's nice to talk to you, Karen. I hope to see you in Collingwood. Sounds good. I was about to say Karen. I was literally about to say, my gosh, you're a wonderful person. You look after yourself in Collingwood, Karen. Thank you.

See you, buddy. Morning. It's Jono and Ben on the Heaps. Hey, thanks so much for joining the show. We appreciate it. Yeah, you and Juliet, thank you for joining the show too. That's all that's listening right now. It's just that.

But it's nice. It's a fun little breakfast table. First day of school back for a lot of the kids and my daughter Poppy. She needed to take an instrument in for music class today because she's been learning the piano to become a pianist. A pianist. Why does that always amuse you?

I love the word pianist. I don't know why I like pianist. You like saying pianist. A pianist. Why does that always amuse you? I love the word pianist. I don't know why I like pianist. You like saying pianist. I do. It's a fun word to say when you nail it too. Pianist. Pianist.

Pianist. Yeah. My daughter as well, one of them has been learning the piano. She's a pianist. She's a pianist because we got a free piano which seemed like a great gift

but isn't quite a good gift when they have kids over and they're all just playing it. That's my house. Truly beautiful. Truly beautiful. The novelty of that would definitely not wear off at all. Well, I mean, you got a piano because you were gifted it, weren't you? You were a free piano

for your pianist playing family. Well, whereas I haven't made the investment, because I'm like, it's quite a hefty investment. If you're committing to the piano, I want to see at least two years of like, okay, I'm giving this a good honest credit. We're not just going to

frivolously buy a piano. We're going to have pianos all through the house. And so until then, Poppy has been practicing on, I went and purchased her a fart piano. Because keyboards are even quite expensive, aren't they? She's not even at keyboard level yet. She's only a few weeks into it.

She's at fart piano level. She's at fart piano. I mean, Beethoven started on a fart piano. And he wrote his first Sympathy in, like, year three or something. Wolfgang Amadeus, what's his name? Started on a fart piano. All of your greatest, Elton John, a piano. So this is a small, describe it to us right now.

It's like a small square box. It's about the size of an A4 piece of paper, right? Yeah, it's a toxic green colour and it's got fart piano on it. There's not as many keys on it as a normal piano. No, you've got C, D, F, G, and A. And then it's got that toxic sort of, you know, when you wear a gas mask when you're heading into, like, Chernobyl or somewhere.

It's got that on there as well to sort of signify, ooh, noxious gases. And so she is legitimately, like, this is no joke, she's been learning to play. She goes to lessons and then obviously the teacher gives her homework and it's like...

No, what is... This is literally what she's learning. She was going to take this to school today for music lessons. I was like, listen, this is going to be

a bad look on me if you take a fart piano to school. But it's not just farts, Ben, because I know you're a fan of bodily functions. No, I'm not a huge fan of it. No, you know I don't. I love how you feel like you're above farts and stuff with our highbrow, sophisticated brain of humour. Oh, no, no, no. That's my no-go zone.

I just don't enjoy it. I know some people love that sort of thing it's not really my thing but hey you're right I haven't got sophisticated where's the line in the sand no no no not for me oh John

not for me mate lowbrow stuff I'll go back to reading my New Zealand Hill the business section show me the the NASDAQ oh that's up

oh I see but it's not just you know it's not just bottom belches as well. It's versatile. It can also segue into a mouth felt. So that's what she's learning piano on at the moment.

Am I a terrible parent? Yeah, probably. Okay, I'll scratch that one up. This is a learning lesson. We all learn. No one knows what we're doing. Oh, well, there we go. Want more Jono and Ben?

You can catch up with the boys anytime. Just search Jono and Ben on Instagram. First day back at school for kids around the country. I know you were saying just during that song, your dad was a school principal. Well, he still is, is he? Oh, he's semi-retired. He just does relief teaching now. And he was teaching at a school principal. Well, he still is, is he? Oh, he's semi-retired. He just does relief teaching now.

And he was teaching at a school overseas. Nauru, Pacific Island Nation. And he said the names were kind of cool over there. They'd name, often some of the kids were named after brands, you know, whether it was Harley or whether it was Holden or things like that. And sometimes after wrestlers or famous people or places. You know, it was quite mixed, you know.

You said there was a John Cena at your school. Yeah, my dad didn't even realise that John Cena was a wrestler until I said later, oh, John Cena's like a wrestler. I would love to be called John Cena. I want to be rebirthed and named John Cena. Can you do that for me, Ben? I can do that for you. Is that logistically possible?

You can probably change your name by deed poll if you wanted to say, hey, John Cena's cool. A friend of mine, his cousin was named Audi, and the parents named him Audi just because they were like they always wanted an Audi and could never afford one. if you wanted to say. Yeah, John Cena's cool. A friend of mine, his cousin was named Audi. And the parents named him Audi just because they always wanted an Audi and could never afford one. So I guess this was the next best option was to name their son Audi.

I was looking online. There's a lot of, and this apparently there's babies named after things like Facebook, L'Oreal, Tintin, you know, the Ikea. Apple is obviously one that we know from Gwyneth Paltrow.

Google apparently is a baby name somewhere in the world. Okay, so what we want to do, are you named after a brand, a place, a celebrity? 0800 hits the telephone number. Is your name Cambrook Toasted Sandwich Maker? Or is your name Panasonic 50-inch HD LED television? That'd be quite cool, actually. Hi, my name is Panasonic full HD 50-inch.

I was going to get named, and my dad saw the catalogue for J.P. Hi-Fi, and I was like, oh, yeah, that's actually what I want, and I've got it here right now. So that's kind of cool. I quite like that. I guess even things like Siri or Apple, you know, they would have been at the time they were a little bit unusual. Now you're like, that's actually quite cool.

That's the thing. Yeah, there's going to be a generation of names that are what probably deemed a little quirky now. But if the majority are called, you know, Samsung Galaxy S8 in 20 years, then it's going to be the new normal, isn't it? I love it. Unique baby names. What have you got?

0800 the hits or 4487 on the text? We've got an early call already on 0800 the hits. Let's go to the phones. Joining us on New Zealand's Breakfast. Who do we have here? Your daughter's name is what? I think producer Ben's still chatting to her. Oh, Humphrey, can we talk to her, mate?

Can we chuck her on the air? No, he's not listening. He's listening to the more FM. He's's not listening. He's listening to more FM. He's literally not listening. He's laughing away to the Breakfast Club. Oh, he's loving that. McCormick again. I told you there's a reason we're coming for McCormick.

It's because even our producer listens to him. Can we talk to Sam here? Come on here, Sam. What did you name your daughter, Sam? We named her Zanzi. After what? After the old pick-up joint Zanzy Bar in Christchurch. Oh, that's cool.

That's a cool name, Zanzy. I like that. Yeah, that's where my husband and I met. Yeah, it was the old Thursday night pickup joint. Oh, there we go. And was Zanzy created in the toilets? No, no, no. She was created on the honeymoon, no.

Oh, there we go. Well, wonderful creation and wonderful name. That's really cool. It's a lovely memory of something that you guys, yeah, what a good way to honour it. Yeah, yeah, we thought so. All right, keep them coming through. 0800 THE HITS, 4487.

Get in touch with New Zealanders Breakfast this morning. Are you named after a brand, a celebrity or a place? Let's go to the phones, shall we, Ben? Yeah, why not? You reckon that's a good decision? Yeah, I like my idea. Oh, I don't know if that's Tanya. Welcome to the show.

Baby, branded babies, what have you got? I've got Jovi, J-O-V-I. Not after Bon Jovi. That's cool. Yeah, yeah, and we've got the number plate as well. Bon Jovi, yeah. Have you ever met John Bon Jovi? No, but I've been to three of his concerts,

but I was pretty close, front row. Oh. At his feet, so, yeah. Been our sort of favourite band since, you know, the 80s. They may love a bad name, but you gave your baby a great name. I did. That was a wonderful wrap-up. That was champagne stuff right there.

That was really good, actually. Hey, Tanya, you go and have a wonderful Monday. Thanks so much for listening to the show. Thank you. I did. That was a wonderful wrap up. That was champagne stuff right there. That was really good actually. Hey Tanya you go and have a wonderful Monday. Thanks so much for listening to the show. Thank you. Appreciate it. Caroline's in Christchurch. Welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast. Branded babies. What have you got? Well I've got a nephew called Aston Martin. Oh that's

cool. My brother was riding cars so yeah Aston it was. We always had family friends and It's cool. My brother was right into cars, so yeah. Just, yeah. It was. We always had family friends, and their daughter was named Mercedes. They were about the same age as me, and they were both,

Dad was, oh, you look at Mercedes Benz. You're always going to marry you too. And as a kid, when you're like nine, you're like, Shut up, Dad. I hate girls. I don't catch girl germs. But that was always Dad's favourite joke. Did they ever test for boy or girl germs?

Is that a thing? I don't know if it's a thing. I think they're more worried about COVID at the moment, but maybe we'll do that afterwards. They're focusing in the right area. Dale, how are you, buddy? Branded babies. What have you got, Dale? Oh, hi.

Listen, I came from England to New Zealand in the late 70s, and I'm a nurse. And I started work at the hospital, and there were a lot of island ladies, and I didn't really sort of know what was going on and getting to know everybody. And this couple had twins, and they called them Benson and Hedges. Oh, I love it.

I love it. I couldn't give it. So good. And after that, of course, it was just, you know, there were so many different names, but Benson and Hedges stuck in my head. That is good. They're cousin Rothmans.

Yeah. Benson and Hedges. I love it. And, you know, it was a time where cigarettes, they were more fun, weren't they? Yeah, it was. We didn't know what we knew then. That's right.

You could smoke when you were pregnant. You could smoke when you were three years old. You could just smoke whenever you wanted. I love Benson and Hedges. That's right. You could smoke when you're pregnant. You could smoke when you're three years old. You could just smoke whenever you wanted. I love Benson and Hedges. That's great. That's a great call. I appreciate your calls this morning. More painful than your alarm clock.

It's Jono and Ben on the Hedge. So we bumped into a lady on Friday and we were just talking about it. And Ben couldn't remember where he knew her from. You know when you know someone, your brain's trying to figure out how you know someone. So I was trying to figure out how you know someone, so I was sort of fishing around for questions without giving away too many things. And then he comes out with,

how's the family? How's the family? I was like, how's the family? The family would kind of give me some clues to how I, and she was like, yeah, good. The family, they all perished in a fiery crash. No, they didn't, but yeah, they didn't give any clues to how I knew.

How's the arms and the legs? And work again. Tell us more about what you do. Did you figure it out in the end? Eventually, I think I pieced it together. He did. It took a while. And she was like, why are you asking about my family?

You've never met them before. I just, you don't want to know how the family are. Spy. Go on to spy.co.nz. All right, producer Juliet, ready to spill the tea on your favourite celebrities. Here we go with Spy. So Elon Musk has announced the opening of a new Tesla factory in Berlin. And he said that it's going to have an indoor-outdoor rave space.

So if employees want to just go and have a rave, ditch their work, they can just head on up and have a bit of a party. It's like a company run by a guy on MDMA. He's just doing wild stuff. The cars are... We were talking the other day, we saw a Tesla, and you can put it in a mode where the doors open and close automatically and it's like dancing to music.

It's like party mode. Basically, it has a boogie on down. A very necessary function for a motor vehicle. I want my car to be able to music. It's like party mode. And basically it has a boogie on down, yeah. A very necessary function for a motor vehicle. Yes. I want my car to be able to dance. Don't care about braking? No. I don't even want a steering wheel.

As long as I have a dancing car, that's all that matters to me. Exactly. It'd be quite noisy, wouldn't it, in the office or something? Like a rave room? It probably would be, but it'd probably be so soundproof. Like these studios here, you know? You could just have the music absolutely pumping and no one would, I don't know, maybe hopefully no one would.

I mean, you don't want to rave like at 9.30 on a Monday morning. Surely there's rave specific times. Yeah, true. There's going to be some rules around this. We, you were saying before, we had a foosball table in our old office where we made the TV show. And boy, it was distracting, wasn't it? Yeah. At any stage, there'd be like eight people

around. Yeah. We had a shocking television program, but no one could beat us at foosball. Maybe we spent more time on the TV show and not foosball. We'd still be on TV. But hey, if you want to game foosball, put us in a tournament. We are ready, coach. And

Princess Beatrice, the daughter of Prince Andrew and Fergie, got married over the weekend to Eduardo Mapali Mozi in a surprise ceremony. It was a very small ceremony. A small group of people, including the immediate family of them and a few others, were there. No photos of Prince Andrew were there, but he was in attendance. Oh, so he was there, right?

Yeah, he was. I imagine it's really tough for her. Yeah. Having her wedding and then having this whole thing going on with her dad right now. Which she's nothing to do with. But obviously that affects everything in her life. So, yeah. And it's probably quite good that it's, because I think they had to make it a really small ceremony because of the virus.

So, it was probably quite good that it was a discreet ceremony because it probably worked in their favour, you know? Yeah. They'll be trying to Photoshop him out of everything, won't they? Old Prince Andrew, I'd be going back through. If I was the Queen, I'd be going back through all the royal photos. Get rid of the embarrassing one. I was the embarrassing one in my family. I know what it's like.

You're the only one in your family. You're the only child. I got Photoshopped out of all the photos. We have no kids. That's what your parents say. How's the family? We don't have one. For more spy,

head to theheads.co.nz. Not a morning person? Sadly, neither of these two. It's Jono and Ben on the Heads. Hey, don't call us, we call you.

It's the game show that no one's expecting, no one's wanting, but we force on everyday New Zealanders as they go about their work. Let's go through to the South Island. Good morning, Pacific Hab Motor and Karen speaking.

Karen? Yes? Why don't you say, hit the music? Just when you're ready, say, hit the music. Hit the music. It's the music. It's Jono and Ben calling from the Hits radio station. How are you, Karen?

How are you? Good, thank you. Now, guess what? This is a game show. You've got four quick questions to answer, and you can get $40 hell pizza. Oh, really? Yeah.

Well, don't make it sound like a burden. Oh, really? Don't make it sound like a chore. This is Don't Call Us, We'll Call You. Karen, are you ready? Yes. I know Karen's been getting a hard time on the internet lately. I know.

Not you, though. Not you. Not me. Just want to say not you. No. So you're lovely. No, definitely not me. You're lovely.

And here's your first question. Presidential candidate Kanye West is married to who? A, Jeans West, B, Kim Kardashian West, or C, the Briscoe's Lady? Oh, it's terrible that I know this, but it's Kim. Yeah, Kim Kardashian West. Well done. One from one. Karen, Solvanlvania families are what?

A, an adorable range of distinctive animal characters with charming and beautiful homes, furniture and accessories. B, a group of travellers who live in caravans. Or C, a family whose tree is full of scandal and incest. Sylvania families. I wouldn't have a clue. Let's go three. A family whose tree is full of scandal and incest.

Or that might be. No, no, no, not that one. How about the travellers? A group of travellers? What about the other one, Karen? Oh, that'll do. Yeah, an adorable range of distinctive animal characters. Next question. Kevin, who is a successful actor and comedian?

A, Kevin Hart, B, Kevin Smart, or C, Kevin Dart? Oh, it'd have to be smart, surely. Kevin Smart, you are having a shocker, Karen. It's all right, we'll give you that one as well, to be honest. It was Kevin Hart. And finally, Well done, Karen. Hey, don't get sarky with me, mate.

You didn't get the middle two, right? Karen, you're awesome. We're going to give you $40 hell pizza, right? That sounds lovely. You hold the line, we'll grab your details from you. Thank you so much for answering your phone and tolerating us for a couple of minutes. Thank you. Good on you, Karen. Like starting your day without your morning

coffee. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Over the weekend, we gave Jono a challenge because normally you challenge me. I have a karaoke machine at home, which I shouldn't have, and you make me sing a song. I sing it badly, and then you intercut me with the original artist. We didn't have to have that example. This is you doing Celine.

I can't tell which one is Celine and which one is Ben. Oh, thank you. Don't try and grease up to me because we're about to hear you for the first time. You really flipped it on its head on Friday. It was a revolt, a team revolt. You're like, I don't have a karaoke machine. I said, that's right. I'm catching up with you over the weekend.

I'll bring mine in to you. So that's what I did. He wheeled it in. It's got wheels. I do. I feel like I'm doing busking on the street. You're like one of those annoying people. You feel obliged to

chuck a dollar in the guitar case. I might come over and be like, are you doing busking now? He's at my house. I'm like, no, I've just got this thing. Anyway. He's like, oh, okay. So I wheeled it in for you. I left you alone in a room just by yourself. No audience until now.

You haven't heard it, have you? No. When I was doing it, I was like, oh, well, I've dined out on you for a couple of months now. Too long, according to our boss, Todd. He's like, it's worn out. You're making the audience hate music by doing this. So, yeah, no, I think this will probably put it dead in the water.

Okay. This will drown Ben's duets. Okay, so this is the last time we're going to hear a duet from one of us. This is Jono's duets. The song is Black Eyed Peas. It's chosen by producer Juliet. Ooh. Yeah, tonight's going to be a good night.

Where's the enthusiasm? Tonight's going to be a good night. Yeah, tonight's going to be a good, good night. Feeling. Woo. Tonight's gonna be a good night. Tonight's gonna be a good night. Tonight's gonna be a good, good night.

Tonight's the night. Let's live it up. Yeah. I got my money. Let's spend it up. Yeah. There is a lack of enthusiasm. Yeah.

I think the lack of enthusiasm is me dying inside. The guy's singing that. You're like, tonight's gonna be a good night. You're like, is it? Is it? Tonight's gonna be a bleak night. Your night's not going that great. Do you even want to go out, mate? You're like, tonight's gonna to be a good night. You're like, is it? Tonight's going to be a bleak night. Your night's not going that great. Do you even want to go out, mate? You're like, tonight's going to be, this is it, guys.

Tonight's going to be a good night. Well, listen, well done on serving that revenge. Big hot cups, steaming revenge right there. I think that's more damaging than what R. Kelly's done to the music industry. What you just heard just then. Start your day the wrong way. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Scrolling through your feed.

I tell you what, this is the up-to-date news. Somehow you leave less informed than when you began. But welcome to Scrolling Through Your Feed, the stories that are broken overnight. Ben Boyce. We'll start with coronavirus. It's all over the world once again. Numbers are soaring.

Unfortunately, it still just keeps on going. Melbourne, they're back into lockdown, compulsory to wear a mask if you're going anywhere in Melbourne right now. 250,000 cases internationally overnight. Brazil, India, the big bangers. South Africa, apparently, quite bad as well. Yeah. Donald Trump, outrageous claims.

Well, hopefully it's not outrageous, because you're wanting to believe his claims. Well, for the first time, I think, I'm like, oh, please, please be right. Because this is what he said. I'll be right eventually. I will be right eventually. You know, I said it's going to disappear. I'll say it again.

It's going to disappear. Does that discredit you? And I'll be right. I don't think so. Right. I don't think so. You know why it doesn't discredit me? Because I've been right probably more than anybody else.

Jeez. But I do hope. I mean, I hope it disappears. I don't know. But, you know, we all do. Well, you can't prove that he hasn't been right more than anybody else. Well, you probably can. There's a lot of things you can fact check about.

I've been right more than anybody else. Probably. He kind of covers his bases there. I don't know if that's true, but anyway. He hasn't done the numbers on that, has he? Donald Trump's still saying stuff. Well, I might, you know, in 50 years it might disappear. And then he'll be like,

come back from the dead and say, I told you. Told you I was right more than anybody else. Science and the vaccine helped us through. But anyway, he was the first person to say it. It'll disappear. I didn't say how it was going to disappear. It's just going to disappear.

But anyway, Wendy Petrie, very sad over the weekend. One news reader, anchor, Wendy Petrie is going to lose her job. Yeah, it sounds like she's going to go after 14 years with Wendy and Simon Dallow reading the news. If that's the case, it really is sad.

She does a great job, Wendy Petrie. She does. It's a reminder too, isn't it, that COVID has just, you know, so many job losses due to COVID and no industry is safe. It has affected everyone. Yeah, so thinking of Wendy Petrie there today, if that is the case,

an ordinary respect for what they do. Because we're trying to do this show at the moment and trying to read stuff off a screen and have someone talk in your ear, that's a skill that we don't have. A, I can't read. And I've already got many voices in my head as well. So another one really confuses me.

And you were reading an article saying that you don't really know much about Wendy Petrie. And they're saying that's a good thing for her news because you want a newsreader to be impartial. You don't want to know which way they vote.

You know, they just do what they do is a great job of delivering the news to people. And she's done a wonderful job for many years. Yes, yes. Be sad to see her go.

But Ben, I mean, you know a lot about Ben Boyce. You're an open book, aren't you? We know that Ben likes to park in their pregnancy parks at the supermarket. And he likes to go in and steal from the pick and mix. Pick and mix, say it.

You know that Jono likes to donate his time and salary to charity. Do you? Can you show me some of the forms? Also likes to drive around the elderly as well. Show me some of the bank records and some photographic evidence of that, and then I'll happily talk about that. Oh, that's what people know about me. I'm an open book.

I'm an open book. Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime. Just search Jono and Ben on Facebook. Time for the big news. Small Town. Now, we're going to head to Waimate very shortly where a bridal shop owner by the name of Mandy Tagney

is doing a really nice thing, nice initiative to provide some food for the food bank. That's lovely. You're right, Jono. What have you tried doing for charity? What have you tried doing lately? Some stuff over the years. You did some community service that masqueraded as charity.

Anyway. I tried selling my body for charity. Got no bites. It's a humbling experience. If anything, you lost money as charity. Yeah, but I'm still asking anyway. I tried selling my body for charity. Got no bites. It's a humbling experience. If anything, you lost money for charity. I don't know how that works. I had to pay people.

It was a horrible initiative. It was, but no, this lady has a heart of gold, aortas, and arteries as well. But let's go through to Mandy. She's in Waimati,

bridal shop owner. Amanda's Bridal Mandy speaking. Amanda's Bridal Mandy speaking. Amanda's Bridal Mandy speaking. Jono and Ben speaking from the big new small town. How are you? Good, thank you. We're calling from the Hits Radio station. We've just been reading about your wonderful thing you're doing.

This proper gown thing? Yeah, so you're trying to remember all the wonderful things you've done. They're all replaying in your mind. You're like, the amount of wonderful things that I've done. Which one do they know about? Well, we know about the gown thing, the Swopper gown thing. Explain what's that, what that's all about. I went through all my racks during lockdown and took dresses off

and thought, well, people are going through hard times for their balls and weddings and decided to give them so that we could get food for our food bank. What a lovely thing to do. Now, when, Ben, you say nice rack to people around the office, are you talking about the same racks that Amanda's talking about? I'm sorry. No, don't. This is slander.

Amanda, he says it all the time. I don't know what he means, but I'm assuming it's clothing racks. It is clothing racks. Clothing racks. Yeah, good. Oh, jeez. I'm sorry about that. Are you always quite a he means, but I'm assuming it's clothing racks. It is clothing racks. Clothing racks. Yeah, good. Oh, jeez. I'm sorry about that. Are you always quite a charitable person, are you, Amanda? I like to think so. Oh, very

nice. So how much did you actually make for the food bags? Did you make a little bit? A few thousand dollars worth of food. That's awesome. What a good person you are. It'll help a lot of families, eh? That's wonderful. Now tell me about Bridezilla's. Are they a nightmare when they come into the wedding shop?

Don't get too many of them, thank goodness. When I got married all the dress, it wasn't actually too bad with Jen. She kind of got straight in there. Ben had a bit of a mishap with his wedding suit. Yeah, I ordered some online. Some linen shirts and pants and they didn't turn out too good.

It's never a good thing to order online. Yeah, we all look like the Backstreet Boys, me and the grooms. We all like, it wasn't good, so I took them to a clothing, but I donated those as well. Oh, that's a good thing to do. Has linen made a comeback in Waimati?

No. No. It's great for covering your couches in, isn't it, linen? Yes, definitely. And curtains. Yeah, Ben looks like a mobile curtain, doesn't he, for your wedding? And you have a lovely day.

You have a good day too. Bye. Amanda's bridal there. Wake up full of shame. Wake up with these guys. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. I just want to have an open discussion with you. Right.

Okay. Open forum discussion. Yeah. I text you last night. Yeah. And on most phones nowadays, it offers you an automatic reply function. Yeah. So, you know, if I text you quite a long, meaningful message, detailed, you know, it took me one to two minutes to author.

Yeah. Okay. And then I get back, sure thing. Sure thing? What the hell is that? No tender love and care. You've just looked at it,

gone down to see what options you've got. Give me a couple of options. Sounds good. Sure thing. Sorry, can't talk right now. He fires back a sure thing. Well, I was like, sure thing. I was like, sure thing.

I'm into that. No tender love and care in that message. Well, I didn't have time at that moment to like, I was like, I'll'm into that No tender love and care In that message Well I didn't have time At that moment I was like I'll catch up With you in the morning To talk more

But just so you know I've seen it I'll reply back A sure thing Oh what's happened The love's gone We used to send Pictures to each other

Cool pictures That would spice my day up Now I get sure thing Sure thing So are you offended That I've just used an option? Would you rather me type out sure thing? I would like to know your fingers have done some work.

I'd like to know that there's been some level of exhaustion with your fingers. Why? Why should I have to spend all that time? It's a personalised touch. But if they don't want me to give, they've got options there for me to. I know, but that's the thing now. As you know, when you've been sent an automatic response, you're like, that bastard has put no thought into this text now.

Although sometimes I get annoyed by the phone because I was like, how do you know I'm going to agree to this? You know, like the phone's too smart. Oh, you get angry at the phone. Yeah, maybe I don't think this is a sure thing, phone. Maybe I'm like, I'm offended by this text. Nothing's more soulless than sorry, can't talk right now. Those ones.

When someone's calling you. So yeah, just in the future, I'd just like a more personalised approach to your text messaging. Sure thing. It's like he spat in my face, Julian. Sure thing. Sure thing. Is that what you want?

Sure thing. Low in calories and low in laughs. It's Jono and Ben on my hips. Spy. No WhatsApp. Spy.co.nz. All right, she's spent the weekend rifling through celebrities' recycling bins to bring you their filth.

Juliet with Spy. What have we got? So Ricky Gervais has said that he wants to donate his body to a zoo after he dies and have lions eat him, which is a very, very interesting way to choose what happens to your body after you pass away. Was this like during an interview for Afterlife, his show or something?

I imagine an interview probably asked, what do you want to happen to you in the afterlife? True, true. But he wants to be thrown to the lions and people at the zoo to watch and for them to be like, oh, that's the guy from The Office. And he said he'd rather that happen

than his body be used for medical research because he said the amount of crap he's put in his body would be quite disturbing for people to open him up and look inside. So yeah, he wants to be fed to lions. Who wanted to snort someone? Oh no, Keith Richards from the Rolling Stones snorted his dad, didn't he?

I think he did, yeah. Who would you snort on this show? Would you snort, Producer Julieta, would you snort on this show? Would you snort Producer Juliet Or would you snort me? I've asked this question before And I didn't give you An answer last time

Did you Have I asked this before? Yeah I think I felt Like you had Did you decide To snort anyone Producer Juliet? I can't remember

No I haven't thought More about it No Last time you asked that I would snort both of you I'd throw you Into the lions If you wanted me to do that

I'm snortable Me and Carol Baskin Would get out there and throw you to the Lions. Allegedly. I know someone who wants to get their ashes popped out with some confetti

at their funeral. Oh, that's a good idea. That's a good celebration. There was, who was it? A dear friend of ours, Helena McAlpine, she passed away.

Yeah. And I think they let her off in fireworks. Really? Yeah, they wanted to do it at Rhythm and Vines or something. Yeah, I don't think they were allowed off in fireworks. Really? Yeah, they wanted to do it at a... At Rhythm and Vines or something.

Yeah, I don't think they were allowed to unfortunately. Oh, right. But yeah. Yeah, that was how she wanted her ashes to be put in fireworks

and then go off on New Year's Eve at Rhythm and Vines. That's quite fun. Yeah. Anyway, back to snorting. Who would you snort? Who would you snort?

Who do you want me to say? Yeah. I want you to say me. Okay, you. I'd snort you. Great. Would this end this?? Who do you want me to say? Yeah. I want you to say me. Okay, you. Thank you. Would this end this? Yeah, if you say me, it'll end. Well, I'm not going to say it. Because you're enjoying it too much? You're enjoying this line

of banter? Yeah, I'm loving it. Alright, and Kanye West over the weekend still running for president. He photoshopped himself onto Mount Rushmore. Obviously, really backing himself in. He's got his first campaign event today. But then also he might be releasing a new album next week. So it's really two different projects that he's got going on.

He's got a lot on his plate. He's booking the sculpture to do the Rushmore thing. He's recorded an album running for president. I mean, the guy is busy. He opens Google calendars up to date. I know. Was it a shoddy Photoshop meme job? an album running for president. I mean, the guy is busy. He's kicking up. Opens Google calendars up to date. He's been like, whoa. I know. Was it a shoddy Photoshop meme job,

or they did quite a good job? No, he did quite a good job. It looks kind of legit. Who's he next to on Mount Rushmore? I don't know who the other people are. There's Lincoln, Jefferson. Who else is there? There's Franklin, isn't he? And Edison, I think.

Is Edison? No, I think he might have been a scientist. He invented the light bulb, Edison. Maybe he should be out there. Jefferson. Jefferson, there. Jefferson. Jefferson, there you go. And Caitlyn Jenner also wants to be his vice president. So a really shocking turn of events, I think.

Mind you, Trump put his whole, not that Caitlyn's part of the whanau now, but all of Trump's family's in the White House, aren't they? True. Ivanka runs something. His son-in-law runs something. Yeah, some vague information. Some vague details. Let's get back to who you'd snort.

It's going to be a big show. See you from Sex. Want more Jono and Ben? You can wake up with the boys' weekdays from Sex on the hits and via the iHeartRadio app.
