The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Thanks to Challenge, putting the service back into service stations. Kia ora, welcome to the podcast. We've started off our Never Have You Ever tour today. Going around the country, doing things for the first time, or helping you achieve things. Doing your nevers that you've never done before in your life. Megan, almost ate an oyster as you're here in just a second. Can you eat one now? They're still sitting here. You really want me to? But I want you to chew it like five times.

I think that's where people come unstuck with the oyster game, isn't it? It feels like a buffet and then swallow it. Because you're talking a big game. Yeah. Any food that you have to get down quick is probably a red flag about that particular food, isn't it? So Ben, he slops it. It's in his mouth. He's giving it a few chews.

Oh, yuck. Does it get harder to swallow the more you chew? No. Well, my idea, if you've got that thing about you didn't like the taste of it or whatever, it's fine. It gives you more of that taste in your mouth, that flavor in your mouth. Like, I definitely need some PK or something if I was going to be kissing you right now, Megan. Which I'm not. Well, you can have that one I spat out.

That's the next best thing. We had listened to the show Emily trying oysters for the first time, and she, because we had accompanied the cuisine with lemon, and she ended up just sucking on the lemon afterwards. Yeah, like my tequila. She did well, though. She chewed it. She didn't look like she enjoyed it at all.

No, she was wincing, shaking, convulsing. Very shortly on the podcast as well. But when you oyster, like those who oyster, oyster hard. Yeah. You're either in it or you're out. Yeah, yeah. Like big fans or not at all. Well, I've slowly got into it, slowly.

But more about the occasion thing and sharing something with people rather than. To be honest, it's also something I'm not keen to get into because it's an expensive. Yeah, yeah, true. It's an expensive... Yeah, true. It's an expensive pastime. We always talk about the first person to try particular foods, milking the cow, what you would explain if someone walked in on that act. Even if you were the first person to have an oyster, you'd probably go, listen, if you had asked me, I'd go, don't bother yourself with it.

We'll move on from this one. But if you're desperate to eat, now you're like, what's a delicacy? What? That's the thing I ate for a laugh. But that's on the podcast today. You'll hear it very shortly, as well as that, a couple of blowouts. So we both, Jono and myself, had some blowouts with texts. Yeah, things going to wrong people, wrong

occasions as well. Technology gets away on you at the old age, eh? Definitely, alright. Jam another oyster down your throat. Enjoy that on the podcast. We're here in Christchurch on the Never Have You Ever Tour. It started last night. We arrived at a wonderful hotel. Oh, my gosh.

The Scenic Circle Cotswold. Now, before we had even arrived at the hotel, we got an email saying, we need you to say that you had a lovely night at the Scenic Cotswold Hotel. Now, this is before you've even stayed there. And I'm like, they're making these wild claims before you've even stayed there. And then, I didn't

have a lovely night at the hotel. I had the best goddamn night of my entire existence at that hotel. It felt like I was staying in like, I keep saying Hogsmeade, and Megan's like, what's that? Harry Potter, you you know he goes gets the wand and stuff

it's very quaint in English it's awesome stony cottages yeah it's very cool actually yeah I'm going to talk

with a British accent now hello do they it was divine stayed an enormous king size bed fit for a king I opened the sheets

Charles was lying there in his silk pyjamas well he's coming to Australia this week so maybe he popped over and had a couple of nights in Christchurch. So thank you very much for putting us up. We are on our Never Have You Ever tour, which

means all this week we're going to make your nevers come true. Actually, if there's anything we should be doing in Christchurch, we're here for the day. 4-4-8-7. Things that we've never done before and the things that maybe you've never done before, we're going to make some of them happen over the day. Now, before the tour even kicked off last night, we're flying to Christchurch,

and we made a little girl's dream come true. Yeah, you did. I had never, actually, I don't remember, I never told you that I'd never given out the lollies before. No, we took a punt because we didn't know exactly if you'd never handed out the lollies on a plane, but we couldn't really ask you because then you would be like, oh, I know what they're going to do.

So we just kind of made it happen. So this is about halfway through, three quarters of the way through the flight. Yeah. Message comes over the PA system. We have a very special lolly runner up in front of the aircraft. It's been Megan's dream to hand out the lollies on an Air New Zealand flight. We like to think of ourselves as magic makers on this flight.

So let's take a lolly from her and thank her as she comes through the cabin. Would you like a lolly, sir? Sorry, I don't take lollies from strangers. Just hairy men in vans. Took my job very seriously. You did. No, you didn't. No, you didn't. There's audio I'm going job very seriously. You did. Well, no, you didn't. No, you didn't.

There's audio I'm going to play later. You did about four rows and then you stopped. I know I got. No one but the back of the plane, producer Ellie, myself, no lollies came anywhere near us. Why did you just stop halfway through? I got sandwiched between the trolleys. There was drinks, trolleys on either side,

so I was like, oh, I'm going to sit down. I've had enough. I know we had to say lovely things about the Scenic Circle Hotel and it was lovely but the worst lolly giving out ever on a flight because you only made no one got it from row like six onwards I know because also at the start

I just handed out heaps I was like take handfuls they're not my lollies. I didn't get one no one around me got one. They were all gone halfway through too. You know what I appreciate about those lollies is the woven basket. That basket, that would have been on a Wright Brothers flight back in the day. Yeah, yeah.

That has been very consistent throughout the years, hasn't it? Very iconic thing. So we made Megan's dream come true of half-heartedly handing out lollies on a plane. I did get told off by a mum as well for giving a kid too many. Oh, did you? You should have just done a scramble. Just chuck it down the back. I thought about that, too yeah four four eight seven if you've got something we should be doing in christchurch or somewhere around the country throughout the week on our never have you

ever tour thanks to gas petrol service stations instant discounts loyalty program to get fuel discounts every week but next kate winslet i know they keep banging on about the titanic movie from about 20 years ago but more uh revelations about... Is there something we don't know? Something we don't know about the iconic door scene. And we thought we knew everything about the door scene. We'll tell you next on The Hits. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. We're here on our Never Have You Ever tour throughout the week.

We're trying to make people's nevers come true. Yeah. In Christchurch today, we've got some big stuff planned after the show today involving a helicopter. Yeah, we're here. stuff planned after the show today involving a helicopter. Yeah, we have. Well, it's just flying in a helicopter. But I was trying to make it sound more amazing than flying in a helicopter. But this is going to be amazing for one person who's never been in one.

I know. Very exciting. We get to surprise someone with that today throughout the week. We'll be doing more of those things. So if there's anything you'd love to do, 4487 on the text or anything we should be doing while we're in christchurch now titanic feels like a long time ago that movie it was it was 1997. we love talking about it yeah love talking about the iconic movie from james cameron as well um celine dion's song bursting out you know although i was really in the news today that they're accusing her of lip-syncing at the paris olympics well

she's funny nearly yeah that's, that's what I thought. She's not well. I was like, at least she's there. Yeah. If she was, she was. It was like, yeah. Also, if she lip synced,

she did a bang up job with that. I know. They've got YouTube analysts looking into it and they're like, oh, I think she was lip syncing or quietly singing while we were in Ireland.

I was like, oh God, who really cares? Okay, so the boat sank 111 years ago. The movie's from 1997. Yeah. What's the latest? So Kate Winslet, oh God, who really cares? Okay, so the boat sank 111 years ago. The movie's from 1997. What's the latest? So Kate Winslet, this week,

so this is why it's back in the news again. Kate Winslet's been asked about it. She's probably like, oh, can I stop talking about this movie again? And other stuff since then. They always talk about, was there enough room for Leo and Kate on the door? There was.

At the end of the movie? Definitely was. Yeah, I feel like there was, but anyway of the movie definitely was yeah I feel like there was but anyway so that final scene where they were shivering in the water

which probably makes sense now Cher admitted they were in a water tank they were filming in a water tank over a couple of days

right they could stand up it was just knee deep they could stand up they pretty much could stand up it was waist high waist high

Megan it's acting it's acting would you want them actually drowning throw them in the ocean. So the whole thing. Was it even cold? No, I don't think it was.

The whole thing, they filmed for a couple of days. In fact, none of the audio they used, they did ADR later, which means they had to put their voice over the top of all this stuff later. Were they lip syncing? So again, did they like Celine Dion? Oh, God. They were Dioning it. Was anything real?

Yeah. But then James Cameron, who was the director, apparently wouldn't allow the bathroom breaks it was like no there's no bathroom breaks uh once you're in there you're in there and she had a lot of dresses you know like the old timey clothes as well um so she was like what would leo and her would do would they just uh swim away from each other i think we've got some audio now of uh kate wins that talking about it i mean it was so awful because leo leo would sometimes sometimes say to me sweetie sweetie i sweetie, I've got to pee.

I don't know why. And so I sort of swim away for three metres. La, la, la, la, la. Oh, one patch, one patch. And then swim back in. And then it would be his turn. It was terrible, really. I mean, it was awful.

And you always felt awful doing it. But it was always, it took too long to get out in the wet clothes. Oh, God. So I confess, it happened. It happened. Does she know how water works, though? Even if you swim away, eventually they're swimming in each other's diluted ways. Then it answers the question, was it warm in there?

Yes, it was. Lovely and tepid. There we go. So we're back talking about Titanic again since 1997, the movie that won't go away. Remember you said, we met Jack Black and you were like one of my favourite movies is The Holiday

with you and Kate Kate Winslet yeah and you were like do another one and he's like well it's not up to me man it's up to Kate Blanchett

you can never remember who did the movie with I let him have it I was like he's been in a lot of movies hey the next 10 minutes something we started last week Megan

we tried to get 10 out of 10 on the New Zealand Herald Daily Quiz with your help. We failed miserably. Oh, yeah. The best we could get was five. Once we get one wrong, it's all over. We've got Jono helping us right now.

Prepare to get three or four at best. That's in 10 minutes on The Hits. We're on our Never Have You Ever tour thanks to gas petrol service stations, but something we started last week, and we want to continue to see if we can get, or continue until we get 10 out of 10, which may never happen on the New Zealand Herald Daily Quiz. Now, Megan, you feel like you're in your quiz era.

You were just saying on the trip to Christchurch yesterday, you said, geez, I'm nailing this. Well, Ben was quite surprised with how much general knowledge I had. Yeah. Has it brought you any use in life? No, that's the thing. Like, just random facts maybe that I've stored away. Well, we learned some stuff last week.

We learned that snails have a lot of teeth. More than sharks and crocodiles. Yeah. I feel like I knew that because you can zoom in, eh, and they look frightening, snails. Yeah. Yeah, I've seen that because you can zoom in, eh? And they look frightening, the snails. Yeah. I've seen that image somewhere. So producer Ellie's going to start reading out the questions.

If we get one wrong, that's it. It's all over. We keep going until we get one wrong. Can people call in and help? Well, we go to the text machine. Well, you can go once to the text machine if you want. Okay. And you can call in if you really want to, but 4487 on the text if you think we're idiots

and you think you've got the answer. All right. Question number one. Who was the CEO of Apple when the first iPhone was launched? Was it Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, or Tim Cook? It was Jobsy, wasn't it? Yeah. So Cook and Jobs are both Apple, right?

Yeah, but Cook's new. Like, he took on the role. Jobs was the OG. Black Skivvy. New Balance Runners, Blue Jeans Ali's a terrible poker face producer Ali too, so if you just keep saying someone's name over and over again

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs Yeah, look for her reaction That is correct She's convulsing or having a stroke Okay, this one's a bit of a harder one I think, which Thom, might be Tom, which Thom York album was released

Thom York Thom York in the history of the world of names has ever been called Thom oh no okay sorry

which Tom Thorke no it's York oh no which Thom York album was released in 2006 as his first solo project was it Anima

Tomorrow's Modern Boxes, or The Eraser? So he's the lead singer of Radiohead. Yeah, Radiohead. Oh, Thommy. Thommy. Thommy boy. Thommy. Anima, A-E-N-I, that's a Tool album, so it won't be there.

Oh, yeah. It is? Yeah. Then what were the other choices? It was Eraser, wasn't it? Yeah, I would say. Eraser was three. What was the other option? It was Eraser, wasn't it? Yeah, I would say. Eraser was three. What was the other option?

What was the middle option, Ellie? Tomorrow's Modern Boxers. Oh, that's, but Eraser feels like it was an album from someone else. Oh, maybe it wasn't. I know, okay. So what are we looking in here? What are we looking in for? Thom York's debut solo album.

I think it's either Tomorrow's Modern Boxes or The Erasers. Okay. Tomorrow. Wait. Is it spelt Tomorrow's Modern Boxes or just Tomorrow's? Was Tool's album Enema or Anima? How's it spelt? A-N-I-M-A.

Oh, no, that's not it. No, no. So now we're back to all three. Can we go to the text on this? No, but Jono, question two. Question two. We can go to the text. We can go to 4487.

We can do it. Whoa, whoa, whoa. We've got a battle. Yeah, no, exactly. 4487, do we want to stop there and come back, or do you want, yeah, should we do that? Okay. Oh, God. Okay.

Well, do you know what, do you want to go with something? No. Okay. 4487, if anyone knows Tom York, or Thom York as he likes to be called. His first solo album. What was it called? No. Okay. 4487. If anyone knows Tom York or Thom York as he likes to be called. His first solo album. What was it called? Okay. 4487. If you think you know those three options again, produce Allie. It is

Anima, Tomorrow's Modern Boxes or The Eraser. We could be out on question two on the New Zealand Herald Daily Quiz. I'm feeling Tomorrow's Modern Boxes for some reason. Okay. Okay. 4487. Are we going to lock that in? We'll find out next. New Zealand at 6.27 on that.

The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Team New Zealand up 3-0 so far in trying to defend the America's Cup. But in Barcelona, a lot of people are not happy about them being there. Big protest. That's why we haven't heard much about it, eh? Because Kiwis are like, no, you took it away from here. What's upsetting the Bartholoneans? Oh, basically the fact that they spent $125 million to Team New Zealand

on bringing the America's Cup here. But they're like, that's a lot of money we could be spending on other stuff. And I guess they're kind of weighing up whether it's bringing in the tourist dollars and stuff as well. So a thousand people took to the streets over the weekend to protest it while it's going on. I guess, you know, you're right. If you're driving over potholes and stuff, you're probably like... You're just watching these boats.

Yeah, I get it. Yeah, no, but yeah. We couldn't afford it anymore, could we? That's right. So hopefully we do take it out, though. Three nil up, so it looks pretty good. First to seven, right? Yeah.

I feel like the expense of it is related to the technology of the boats now. Let's just take it back to the basics. Back to dinghies. Kick it back to the start line again. Now we're in the middle of today's New Zealand Herald Daily Quiz. We decided last week we would want to get 10 out of 10

and would keep playing it in a row until we got one wrong. The best we got was five, so now we're at question two. What happens if you get 10 out of 10? Do I get a free Herald Premium subscription to unlock all the premium articles? Well, you actually do that.

We've told you you've got one. You just have to email tech for that. One email and you can get that. But anyway. If we get 10 out of 10, I'll email them for you. You work for the same company. Anyway. I get the first three lines of stories and it sort of slowly fades out into nothing.

We don't want to hear your complaints. We know how you can remedy that. But anyway, question two, Producer Ellie, was about Thom York. It was about Thom York, which I've just learned is Thom Yorke. We're all learning stuff. But the question was, which Thom Yorke album was released in 2006 as his first solo project? And you want to lock in the eraser? Well, thanks to the text machine.

Question two, Megan, you weren't happy that we're bowing to the audience question two? Yeah, like phone a friend already. The eraser seems to be the popular one. Yeah. Are we locking it in? Yeah, let's lock it in. That is correct. Yay!

Thank you very much to everyone that texted. I did say the eraser, by the way. Oh, you said the other names as well, too. She's one of those people who comes in after the other ones. Oh, excuse me. Jono said the other ones. Anyway, anyway. Thankfully, in this medium, we record everything,

so we can go back after the show. Okay, next question. Question three. Alright, WOMAD Festival in New Zealand is held in which region? Is it Otago, Canterbury or Taranaki? Taranaki. Lock that in. Lock it in.

You happy with that one? You happy with that? I actually don't know so I'm happy to go with this. Okay, I'm going to lock it in. In ten minutes she'll say, oh I said Taranaki. Just say it now. Taranaki. Okay, can we lock it in?

Megan, that's correct. Oh my god, I was right. Okay, good we lock it in? Megan, that's correct. Oh my God, I was right. Okay, good. Question three. All right, this is question four. What does the brand name Nivea mean in Latin? Is it snow white, smooth skin, or fresh and clean? Ooh.

Ooh. Nivea. I think in Latin. Why would they have fresh and clean in Latin? So fresh and so clean, clean. Like if you're playing out the elimination game. Yeah, okay, okay. Oh, hey, we need to get rid of one.

What one did you say, Megan? I don't think it would be Snow White. No. Surely not Snow White. What other option is? I mean, the cream, the original cream is like Snow White. You know, the original Nivea cream in a pot. You're doing some good facials here, producer Ellie. think i'm starting to look i'm trying to think more about snow white

actually because of producer ellie's face cream was that the original and it was like yeah it's just a white cream what's number two what's number two number two is smooth skin i reckon yeah it's not smooth skin it's no white i'm thinking are we gonna look at the snow white i need only because producer ellie is a terrible poker face. So I'm going to lock in Snow White. I'm going to make the call and it might be wrong. All right. That is correct.

Yay! Good, all right. So we've only got four. This is the fifth one. Now this equals our best if we get this right. It sure does. Okay, which Shakespeare play features the character of Shylock? Is it The Merchant of Venice, Julius Caesar, or Twelfth Night?

You know there's people right now screaming at their radios. Can we throw it to the text again? No, we're not allowed. Just pick one. Who said? Shylock. But if someone texts us and we read the text and we haven't thrown it to the text, that's okay, right?

Yeah. So if someone texts 4487. And then my eyes accidentally look at the text machine. Yeah, that's fine. Okay. Yeah, so we're not officially throwing it to the text, but if the text machine could be active around about this time. With those options again.

So Shylock from Shakespeare was in which play? Yeah, The Merchant of Venice, Julius Caesar, or Twelfth Night. I'm feeling like The Merchant of Venice. I don't know why. I don't think it's Julius Caesar, or Twelfth Night? I'm feeling like the Merchant of Venice. I don't know why. I don't think it's Julius Caesar. Okay. Shylock sounds, yeah, I don't know. The Merchant of Venice?

I would have said Twelfth Night. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm going to lock in the Merchant of Venice. Let's do it. Okay, okay. I'm going to lock in Twelfth Night. Oh, there's a text come through from Merchant of Venice that I've just cast my eyes on, but we didn't ask for it.

Okay. Are you going with that one? I'll go with Jono Merchant of Venice just for that text. All right, that's correct. Yay! Five. Okay, let's see if we get this one. Okay.

Liam, back in Auckland. How long has this been been in Auckland? A really long time. Okay, all right. Sorry, I got quite swept up in the text. Well, keep going. Keep going. Okay, next.

Okay. I was like, this has been going for like 20 minutes. Sorry. We're still going. We're going to play a single song on the radio right now. It's 6.40 on the hats. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Let's go.

We had to educate our producer, Grace, on who Brian Adams was. She was like, sounds like my friend's father. But yes, good on you, Jenny. That's going to be your debut concert, and we need a report back once you've attended, okay?

Oh, certainly will. Thank you. Stick to that word, too, because people don't follow up. You're right. Well, good luck getting your teenager out of bed. Thank you. See you, Jenny. Enjoy the concert. 4487 if you've got anything that you've never done

or you can suggest for us to do throughout the week, but next you had some negotiating of your own to do. Well, yes. Late for an appointment, and I walk into a bedroom, and what do I see? Okay, we're meant to be walking out the door and I'll tell you in three minutes.

After Benson Boone at 7.09 on The Hits. Powerball rolled over to $23 million after the weekend. $17 million not struck. So yeah, we're almost getting to that time

where we talk about it every 10 minutes on The Hits. I'd give you a mil if I won 23 mil. I'd give you a mil each. You say mil. I'd give you a mil each. You say that. Oh, no. It just seems like such a lot of money.

I'd just be like chucking it out willy-nilly. I wouldn't. To be honest, I wouldn't give guys a mil. You wouldn't give us a million? I just said I would give you a mil. Oh, yeah, I know. But I'm saying I wouldn't. Would you take your mil?

Yeah, I'd take it. No, I probably wouldn't. I'd probably go, no. Keep your mil. Do it with your family and stuff. I feel like, no, that's just. You've got 23 of them. Oh, no.

Why couldn't you give me one? How much would you give us? I would use it on... Tell you what, I would go, hey, I would sponsor the radio show for a year and everyone would be employed. How's that? Use it on stuff that is actually going to get the... You know, rather than go, hey, Megan's going to fritter that away on something.

She wants a million dollars for her celery. Yeah. Oh, okay. She drives a hard bargain. Sorry, I'll get someone else. You'll have to contract negotiation with me, all right. Yeah. Oh, okay. She drives a hard bogan. Sorry, I'll get someone else. You'll have to contract negotiation with me, all right? Yeah. Is Hayley Sproul available?

Oh, now you're talking. Okay. I don't know. I'll look into the contract situation, all right? Anyway. Nightmare, eh? Terrible, terrible stuff. All right.

Friday. So it's the end of the school holidays Friday Every activity has been done In the world of activities When it comes to Keeping the children entertained Okay And we're

I'm needing to get them Out of the door For an appointment Alright Already five minutes late Behind schedule And it's the kind of appointment That you can't miss

And if you do miss You're going to have to rebook And it's in another Two Three months you can't miss. And if you do miss, you're going to have to rebook. And it's in another two, three months. So I'm like, all right, kids, let's go. I've planned them all morning. Let's go. Time to go. And I open Oscar's bedroom door.

And they've decided this is a fantastic time to redecorate the whole room. Rearrange the entire, like the bed was literally up on its headboard, up facing the ceiling. The shelf was face down. You know when kids decide to interior decorate, boom, everything has to come out first? Yeah, it explodes. Nothing systematic about that approach. No, you're right.

Oh, God. I'm like, really now? This has to be, we're walking out the door, the most terrible timing. Because you've got teenagers. I would have thought that gets better as they get older. Because I've got like a two-year-old and a three-year-old. And I can't get them out of the door because one of them poos their pants or like one of them's having a meltdown.

But now you've just got different issues when they're older. I'm the one pooing my pants. Like I said, it was the end of a long two weeks, and everything had been done. So they're like, time for this to happen. Like, right now. It's like, right now? It's got to be right now. Right now, I know.

That's the frustration of the parents. You're like, oh, guys, guys, you know? And they can't see the greater picture. No. Can they? They're just doing, and that's the great thing about kids, too, is they're living in the moment. Yeah. They're doing the moment.

And sometimes it's better to live like that. You're right. And other times when you've got to get to an appointment, it's not. It's the worst possible time. The appointment was for me. It had You're doing the moment. And sometimes it's better to live like that. You're right. And other times when you've got to get to an appointment, it's not. It's the worst possible time. The appointment was for me.

It had nothing to do with it. They didn't need to stress about it. Oh, right. Yeah. And then they tell you you're not supposed to hurry your kids because it might make them anxious

so you're not like, come on, come on. You're going to be like, ah. Who said that? In your own time. We don't have to make kids anxious now. That's why we had kids.

Okay, so 800 of the hits is what we want to chuck open this morning on a Monday on New Zealand's Breakfast. What happened when you're walking out the door? It sometimes happens from time to time with me, and I've talked about this, getting up early in the morning and one of the animals has sort of left something, sometimes a little bit of spew or something on the floor or the hallway.

Sometimes I clean it up. Other times, eh. You pretend not to see it. I'm like, I could walk around this. I feel like that's a 7 a.m. issue, not a 5 a.m. My family don't know when this has happened. They don't know. They just feel like I've left.

And they're like, oh, did you know the dog was sick on the... I was like, what? What? It's been after I left. Yeah, exactly. That's a good situation. If you haven't got time, just walk around it. That's my motto in the morning.

So, under the hits, 4487, Winnow, this morning, what happened when you were just about to leave? Okay. What was the thing that held you back? What was the kids rearranging the room situation that you had to deal with? The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. We're on our Never Have You Ever tour heading around the country this week, making your nevers come true if there's something you haven't done.

4487 on the text. We've got some time in Christchurch today, so if there's things you can suggest for us to do, that'd be great. It's all thanks to Gas Petrol Service Stations. You can download the 100% Kiwi Gas app to get discount offers delivered straight to your phone. Now, Megan, last night as we were flying to Christchurch, we decided to make a little girl's dream come true, didn't we?

And you had never, ever handed out the lollies on the Air New Zealand plane. No, but I didn't tell you this. So I got shoulder tapped by the flight attendant partway through. Shoulder tapped like a promotion. No, but it was scary because she said, can you come up to the front with me? Really serious. I see some potential in you. You're like, what?

To the point where the woman sitting beside me on the plane was like, are you okay? And I was like, I'm not sure. So she made me go up to the front and then she said to me, there's someone at the front who wants to meet you. She's a big fan. I was like, lies. As I walked past John, I was like, have you stitched me up? And John was like, no, I don't know what you're talking about. But they had. So they asked me to hand out the lollies.

I should have come up with a better story than someone wanted to meet her. I know yeah. Sorry. So they handed me the basket of lollies and then made an announcement that I was going to be giving them out on the plane. We have a very special lolly runner up in front of the aircraft. It's been Megan's dream to hand out the lollies on an

Air New Zealand flight. We like to think of ourselves as magic makers on this flight, so let's take a lolly from her and thank her as she comes through the cabin. Would you like a lolly sir? Sorry I don't take lollies from strangers. Just hearing men in vans. Sounds like you had to open the door as well to play. Jeez, that was loud.

While you were doing it. So yeah, you handed out, it was your dream, you handed out the lollies. But then you did a few rows, all sitting near the back, and then you just sat down. I was like, oh! I got bored with it. No, but also the trolley was coming, so I was like, oh, well, I can't get past. I'll just sit down in my seat. Producer Ellie and myself were waiting for the lollies to get handed around nothing,

and so then I had to walk up to you and ask you what was going on. Kind of just a shocking job. I'm still waiting for my lollies at the back of the plane. Oh, I got stuck between two trolleys, and I had to sit in my seat. Oh, right. So what? We don't get any at the back of the plane? No.

I'm done. I tapped out. Oh, thanks. Thanks very? We don't get you at the back of the plane? No. I'm done. I'm tapped out. Oh, thanks. Thanks very much. So you did half the job. And I was at the back of the plane. And they gave me a present and I only did half the job. Great for you. I think I'm getting a certificate. Oh, you're getting a certificate. Well, we're doing half a job.

Alright. We'll see you later. Sorry. Well, you can go and ask. I don't know. You can go out there and make a message. It's too late now. we're about to land. So, yeah, really shocking job for, you know, for someone. What was the certificate for? Look, you do, you get a certificate. It says Chief Lolli Runner.

This award hereby recognises Megan Pappas as a qualified to serve as Chief Lolli Runner. Qualified, qualified. Mate, you did four rows. Plus, I got. And half-hearted attempts at lolli distribution. And I got a whole bag of treats. Like, you know how they're like, do you want the cookie or the chippies?

I got a whole bag of all of the treats. All of them. And a cup full of just the red lollies. Well, that's what you get for half doing the job. Imagine if you'd done the whole thing. I know. Exactly. So we made Megas never have you ever come true last night.

They would have named the plane after you. 4487, if there's something you'd love to do over the next few days. We could make them happen as we head around the country. But next, what happened when you're about to leave? We've got some great calls and texts coming through. Some involving emergency services, other involving bovines. We'll get to them shortly. To post Malone on the hits.

The hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. The moment is going to be visible for the first time in 80 000 years this week new zealanders will be able to see it in the western skies from tuesday this week but how did they describe it because i was thinking it would be like a big ball of flames in the sky it's just a little fun yeah they said a fuzzy patch in the sky that's the comet i mean i hate to sound underwhelmed by it but okay, it's probably like millions of light years away and stuff like that, right? But still, first time in 80,000 years

that it's going to be here this week. Sorry, Megan, is there something that we could do to make the comet experience more enjoyable for you? Yeah, I told you, a flaming ball of gas rather than a fuzzy patch. That'd be nice. Send a memo out to the comet. Yeah, that'd be nice.

Do it a bit closer to Earth. Just talking about what was happening when you were walking out the door, 0800-THE-HITS-4487. Just off the back of, we're heading out for an appointment, late for an appointment, walk into the kids' bedrooms, completely redecorating. Beds upside down, bookshelves upside down, shoes, everything out of the closet, just in a giant mound in the middle of the floor.

Yeah, right. And who had to deal with that? Who ended up helping redecorate it? Oh, did you get involved, did you? Yeah, well, you have to. Otherwise, it's just going to sit there, isn't it, for the entire school term. So 800-HITS-TELEPHONE-NUMBER. We've had a great text here, 4487.

Was getting ready for work. Dropped the kids off at daycare school. Opened the back door. A cow. A cow? Standing there in suburbia. Oh, really? A suburban cow.

You don't see that too often, do you? Urban cows, no. I do love an animal out of its natural environment, though. Don't you? There was the goats. There's an effing goat. Oh, that's right. Yeah.

That's right. I had a goose on my doorstep, a baby goose, a gosling. Oh, that's right. Yeah, which is really unusual. I don't know how it got over the fence and stuff. But anyway, that was out with the same thing when I went to leave. I'm like, this is unusual. What do you do with that?

That's all we said when we ate the goose. No, I did pick it up. I was around COVID times as well. No one wanted to take the thing. I kept saying, where do I put it? What do I do? And they were like, the bird sanctuary. People were like, oh, it's COVID.

We're shutting for the day. I'm like, okay. Where did it end up? They ended up taking it and stuff as well. Because there was no mothers around for ages. So yeah, very unusual. It sounded like they didn't want to take it. No, they definitely didn't want to't want to take it oh my god this could be the goose that laid the golden eggs guys this could have been it but they didn't want it uh we're gonna go to the phones is it harmony on

no 800 the hits how are you this morning hi good thanks lovely to have you on great name harmony and what happened when you're walking out the door uh this was a few years ago i was walking out i was getting ready for work and there'd been a power cut. So I was getting ready in the dark. And then I get in my car, and I look down the end of the driveway, and there's all these lights flashing and trucks at the end of the driveway. I think, what the hell's going on? And I started driving down the driveway, and a tree was across my driveway,

and power poles across the road, and lines were across the road. And we had about a 13-hour power cut. And all the emergency services at the end of the driveway. Yeah, we're already there. Wow. That just sounds like a great excuse to call work and be like, ah, can't come in today. Can't make it today. I didn't even have a coffee because we had a power cut and it was freezing.

It was yucky weather. I lived opposite a vineyard at the time, so I climbed over and under power lines and I did manage to get a hot coffee, so that was okay. Jeez, you're climbing between power lines to get a coffee. Are they going to get a wine or something for the vineyard? Yeah, no, that's what I thought. I was like, you should get better for a wine.

It was eight in the morning, but I was like, jeez. I may have had wine for breakfast too. Nice. I appreciate that, Harmony. I remember I had wine for breakfast too. Appreciate that harmony. I remember I was walking out of the old house we lived in. I walked out the door and then there was this gentleman in a suit with a briefcase and he started talking to me on the other side of the

fence and I owned an old car at the time. He's like, that's a lovely old vehicle, mate. Lured me in. I just thought it was neighbourly chit-chat. Then all of a sudden halfway through the conversation, he's like, have you thought about joining the Jehovah's Witness? Oh. And I'm like,

no. And I said, but now's not a good time. I'm sorry, madam. The kids are in there. My wife's not home. And he looked up and behind me, Jen was standing on the deck.

He's like, you mean that one? You're like, get it. No, that's my mistress. Yeah, that's what you need to say, right? That's why I would not make a good Jehovah's Witness. Lying.

Cheating. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. First day back after two weeks of school holidays. So good luck. We spoke to someone before already trying to get their teenager up and at them. Hard job to do. Jeez, Monday, that's the first day back. You've had two weeks of rest.

Have you struggled to pull the teenagers out of bed this morning? Although I feel like first day is the hardest. Out of routine. You're used to sleep-ins. Yeah, that's right. And you probably stayed up late because you weren't used to getting to sleep. Home stretch now. Last term, though, I was talking about that with my son,

and I was like, the years get quicker the older you get. And he had done some internet research, so I don't know how reliable it is, that there's been some studies into it and that's basically the older you get, and he had done some internet research, so I don't know how reliable it is, that there's been some studies into it, and that's basically the older you get. So you start out one years old, and that feels like the longest part of your life, because that's all you've experienced. The older you get, the more you experience, the quicker the years become. Oh, I suppose it makes sense. Yeah.

That's the theory. That is all depressing as well, isn't it, for your Monday morning? Great, that's what we want. We don't want anyone coming in with good vibes on a Monday. Yeah. It's the theory. It is all depressing as well, isn't it, for your Monday morning? Great. That's what we want. We don't want anyone coming in with good vibes on a Monday. Yeah. Now, friends of ours are organizing a surprise party for a mate. And I'm not a surprise party person.

Nothing would annoy me more than having a surprise party organized for me. Really? I get the idea behind it, but then I'd just be turning up going, well, I'm not dressed for this occasion. I haven't had time to prepare. I don't know who's there. He'd be upset because he'd be like, if this was a party for me, it needs to be costume themed.

People need to be in costumes. No one's in costumes. What is the thing? What is the theme? I like to know these things. I like to plan. And I like the excitement of waiting for something. When you know something's happening.

The anticipation, yeah. Rather than it just being sprung on you. Have you had a surprise party, though? No, but I've been in part of a surprise party. Some have worked well and others have been like, oh, this poor person just feels rattled for the whole time. You know? You need a nap because you know you're going to party later.

They came home. They had grocery shopping and stuff like that. They were in the middle of stuff and they were like, oh, there's a whole lot of people in the house. But anyway. And sometimes they don't know it's coming. Well, all the time they don't know it's coming. Yeah.

And so then you can be left waiting for hours for them to turn up. So anyway, friends of ours are organizing surprise party. I'm like, cool, I'll go along with it. I'm actually really good at keeping secrets. I don't say anything. I'm like, I'm not going to say anything. So I'm like, cool, we'll go along with this. But there's a mate of mine.

There's always that one friend there. Like, if anyone's going to say something, it's that one friend. Yeah. It's the loose lip friend and I was actually hanging out with him over the weekend and he was like going I'm actually going to be hanging out later that day with the person whose surprise party it's going to be I'm like oh you're gonna you're gonna say something you're definitely gonna say something he's like no I'm not I'm not I'm like you're gonna say something and he's like no I'll try my best not to because normally you just talk and say things so I was like cool and later on that night i was thinking about it i was like oh they're together the two of them i wonder if he said anything so i'll send him a cheeky reminder

text just going hey mate better not say anything about the surprise party for the person's name and then i get this text back going thanks for that and i thought oh that's good i didn't read the sarcasm he needed a friendly reminder he's like and then i was like thanks for that. And I was like, oh, that's good. I didn't read the sarcasm. He needed a friendly reminder. He needed a reminder. He's like, and then I was like, thanks for that. And then I got those dot, dot, dot texts coming through. You're like, oh, there's more to this text.

Anxiety dot. Yeah, he's like, thanks for that, dot, dot, dot. And then I was like, what's he going to say? He's like, as you text through, I was showing him something on my phone, a picture of a meme or something. And your text comes up with a, don't forget not to say anything about the surprise party too. Mentioned the name as well. He's like, he definitely saw it.

And the guy said he didn't. He's like, I didn't see anything. But you know, one of those situations where you're like. If anything, if he keeps up the surprise, he can now prepare for the event. Well, that's it, maybe. You're right. Maybe you've done him a favour.

He doesn't know what day it's coming. So he's going to be ready for a party between now and Christmas. He'll have his party shirt on. Oh, that's almost more. I'm always plus more. You'd be like, but is this the party? Is this the party? Is it today?

Tuesday morning? This could be the party. You're going to have to be on high alert. Yeah, so I'm not mentioning any names in case I haven't given it all away, but you're right. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. New Zealand up 3-0 after things got really close in the third race of the America's Cup. They almost collided.

Unfortunately, it didn't happen, and Team New Zealand off to a really good start. Now, we're on the Never Have You Ever Tour. Kicks off today, traipsing our way. Geez, we've done some novelty tours of this country, I tell you what, over the years. Seen more of this country than a campaigning politician. But this time around, the Never Have You Ever Tour. So knocking stuff off that you have never done. And we're going to be doing that in Christchurch today,

involving a very expensive piece of equipment that goes in the air after the show. But Megan, you were worried that you were going to be away from your beloved children for five days. Yeah, well, I've never been away from my kids for five days. When I started with you guys, I hadn't even had a night away from my daughter. So I was wondering how I could just make it a little easier for them. Can I ask you a question, though, when you headed away? How many laptops did you take? When I...

When you headed away this week. Just one. Yeah, and Jono, you too? I just got one. Yeah, me too. Well, producer Ellie, who's on the tour for the first time as well. How many laptops do you have with you?

Just a cheeky four. Four laptops. She was getting scanned by security and pulled out four. She looked like a cyber criminal. I did, yeah, I did. All the work ones. Why do you need so many of them?

You know a laptop can do multiple things. You don't have to have four laptops to do four individual tasks. She's like, this is my work one, this is like a beautiful one. You're right, my personal one. You're't have to have four laptops to do four individual tasks. This one's my work one. This one's like a beautiful one. You're right. The personal one.

You're like, well, just use the same one for both. They're actually very advanced laptops. But you do look like a boss. Not the ones she's got. They literally only do one task each. Yeah, so sorry. So you've got one laptop. Good.

Okay. That's what I've got the same. Okay, right. So given that I was going to be away from my kids, they're quite young. One is almost two and one's three. So I was like, how can I make this seem like more fun to them and less like they'd miss me? So I put on a couple of charts on the fridge. So there is one, there's like a cartoon map of New Zealand.

Right. And I've done like a little line of where we're traveling and he can move the little pin every day. Oh, nice. And it's like, where is mum today? The other one is, you know when you go to the supermarket and it's like, do you need a babysitter? And you pull off the tags. Oh, nice. And it's like, where is mum today? The other one is, you know when you go to the supermarket and it's like, do you need a babysitter? And you pull off the tags? Oh, yes. So I've done how many days till I return? And each day he can pull off a tag so he can

visually see there's only one more tag left. You know me, I count down everything. You love a countdown. How many sleeps? How many weeks till daylight saving? Were they excited about the chart? We're radio hosts. We like to think that people are going to miss us a lot more than the reality

of people missing you. So yesterday I was like I'll wait till the last minute to tell him and I told him and he was like, okay can I go get a puzzle? I was like, yeah but you know I'm going. And then when I left he was like see ya and ran away. And then I text my husband and I was like, has it sunk in when he went to bed?

Did he miss me? He was like, no. No. That's the thing. And the fridge is important real estate in a household. That'll be covered over by a congratulations, you remember to wash your hands certificate or something from daycare. Yeah, I really oversold the fact that he was going to miss me.

It doesn't seem to have caused any issues whatsoever. You should have gone more like advent calendary, you know, like open it up and get a little treat or something. Yeah, but Ben, I'm limited with my arts and crafts here. I don't know. I'm just like, I'm ripping off a number. I'm like, oh, great. You know, like I'm with Basti.

I'm like, oh, that's, you know. Okay, well, next time I'll make a bloody Advent calendar. In fact, does Basti listen to the show? Is he listening right now? No, so he gets in the car and he's like, not the radio. He literally says, not mummy on the radio. Oh, really? Yeah.

He's more of a fan of Jono and Ben than he is of me. Well, sounds like it's going to be a great week for us. Yeah. Flying solo, bachelorette. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Charles is going to be in Australia this week. First time he's been there in a while. He's been undergoing cancer treatment and he's travelling

with two doctors and a spare supply of blood. They're travelling around as well. I completely forgot that he was having cancer treatment. Yeah, so he's paused the sort of cancer treatment

while he's going on to his royal duties and then heading to Australia for a wee bit. We've got some good blood over this part of the world though. I'd happily give him some of my blood.

Yeah, but it's not royal blood, mate. It's not royal blood mate it's not real blood I don't want your common blood I don't want your common blood yeah

could be riddled with all sorts exactly hepatitis and the whatnot who carries the blood around the doctors I guess

I'm guessing so carry on luggage situation where does that blood come from like why that a better grade of human being

I remember being in the states years ago and there was like a motorcade and someone on the side of the road was in Washington and said, oh, that's the president, that's Obama. There were so many black Jeeps and stuff heading down and stuff, but then an ambulance traveled behind.

And that was what they were saying. That gives it away that it's the president, because there was an ambulance traveling around as well. So just in case he needs an ambulance or anything at any stage, they had an ambulance traveling around. I don't know about your day. I've got the Panadol yeah

now we are celebrating the first day back at school for many for many children and if you are in that phase of life where you're dropping kids off

after a strenuous two weeks we're going to open up the what are we something something the celebration line

yeah the celebration I've gone for a confessional really pulled down the tone yeah but you can confess we can confess if you want well I was thinking more like calling the gang celebration this is their time Celebration line. Yeah, the celebration. I've gone for a confessional. Really pulled down the tone. Yeah. But you can confess. We can confess if you want. I was thinking more like calling the gang, celebration.

This is their time to shine. This is when they get used. This is why they made that song. Creative differences. That's all right. We can do a confessional. We'll lock up the confessional music. But you can confess.

You don't have to tell us what your name is or even your child's name, but you can just share how happy you are. But in a somber time which is the opposite of what ben wants let it be known he would rather a more upbeat celebratory oh yeah to this part of the program really has lowered the tone i'm sorry uh welcome to the show amy welcome to the confessional dear sweet child hello oh i said no names Welcome to the confessional, dear sweet child.

Hello. Oh, I said no names. Then I've called you Amy. Amy, why are you so happy you're dropping the kids off? I've finally stopped being an underpaid snack slave and boredom buster. Underpaid as in zero paid? Yeah, not getting paid for anything, right? Yeah, as in zero paid Yeah not getting paid For anything right

Yeah as in zero paid So you're handing out snacks You're trying to make Yeah they get bored easily Don't they sometimes Always bored Always hungry And life's always unfair

No, they're at six o'clock this morning. Ready to go. Enjoy your day without their minute for a few hours. Thank you. As much as we love them, you know, it's nice to have that time apart. Now, again, I said no names, but Shekana, welcome. Hello. Good to have you on.

Now, we understand you aren't the parent who's confessing to being happy to dropping off your child. You're the kid. Yeah, because mum's been called into work. Okay, and so you're celebrating on behalf of her that you're no longer going to be her problem for a few hours. Yep. Oh, okay. Well, what was the worst thing you did over the last couple of weeks? Um, probably, like,

always argue with my mum, like, over the smallest things. Like, I was just always grumpy at her. Yeah, right. Hormones, mate. It's that stage of life. Did you apologise, though?

Like, you're recognising that you were grumpy. Did you apologise? Yeah, for a while when I'm not angry at her. Have you got a grumpy voice where you're recognising that you were grumpy. Did you apologise? Yeah, after a while where I'm not angry at her. Have you got a grumpy voice where you're like, Mum! And you always add the,

after every word. Stop being so unfair! Now, what was the most meaningless thing you argued about over the last two weeks? Oh, God, that's actually kind of hard to say because there's heaps. There's heaps, yeah. Yeah.

Well, we're going to hook you up with some hell pizza, all right, to make tonight a little bit better. You can say thanks. Or not. It's fine. Or we can just awkwardly fade out. But you're going to have a wonderful day at school. Hey, this is a good option.

Next, we're in the middle of our Never Have You Ever tour, heading around the country, doing things for the first time with you on 4487. Emily has come to the Christchurch studio. She's here. She's going to be

knocking something off. And Megan as well, too, getting involved, apparently. Well, you've never done this as well. Here's your chance next

on The Hits. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Let's go. Jono, Ben and Megan's Never Have You Ever Tour with gas. Yes, thanks to gas petrol service stations heading around the country, you can never miss a fuel discount again. Download the 100% Kiwi gas app to get discount offers

delivered straight to your phone. And Megan, you've already given out lollies on the plane last night. I was the one who did the bus ride too. So, like, this is starting to feel like the never have, has Megan ever, because now I'm going to do something else for the first time. Yeah, because Emily, Emily who listens to the programme,

you sent us a message, and what have you never, ever done in your life there, Emily? I've never eaten oysters before. Never had an oyster. And coincidentally, Megan Papaz has never had an oyster as well. Now, you're really getting into your own head about it, aren't you? Because I don't like seafood, period. Right.

I don't like anything under the ocean. I just sniffed one. Yeah, I understand. I really like oysters, but I do understand there's the texture thing. They're not the most appetizing looking thing, but they are quite nice. The testicles of the ocean, don't they? Now, Emily, why have you never had an oyster? Just through look or aesthetics?

What's the reason? I think I just assumed I wouldn't like them, so I've just never tried it. To be fair, they do look a little mucusy, don't they? I can see why they don't visually appeal. But there's something quite flash to the bill. People listening right now will be like, oh, fancy, you know,

like sparkling wine or something like that. This is a nice thing. People pay a lot of money for this. My daughter, I got her to try one when she was little because I paid for six at restaurants. She spat it out and I ate it from her mouth because that's how expensive they were. A regurgitated oyster. And everyone at the table was like, did you just do that? I'm like, yeah, I did.

But they were quite expensive. Oh, I'll come over here just in case I spit it out. He'll eat your half-digested oyster. Okay, now, Emily, we're going to find out now if you are allergic to shellfish as well. Exciting. That's really exciting. And just rest assured, Ben does know mouth-to-mouth. No, definitely don't.

Not the resuscitation part, just the mouth-to-mouth. Okay, we've got a gas gift card, $50 for you if you do this, Emily. Okay, all right. Wait, do we chew them? No, you just kind of just... Just got to knock it back. Just kind of... Oh, look. Albert Rosset. So you basically, you tilt your head this Emily. Okay, alright. Wait, do we chew them? No, you just kind of just, just kind of knock it back. Just kind of like, oh look. Albatross it. So you basically tilt your head back and Ben says open throat. So Emily and Megan now picking up the shells. Nice bits of lemon, you can squeeze over that just to. This is the first thing I've eaten

today as well. Add some tart flavour. There you go, like put it, yeah, like scoop it out with a spoon is quite good too. First impressions, Emily? Omega's smelling. It doesn't smell the best. It smells like a shark's bum. The smell's making me gag. Okay, here we go. I've got to go for it.

Here we go. Ben's spooned one and he's... It's fine. Oh, yes, I had it chewed. One bite and swallow and it slides down. That was lovely. Delicious. Emily's got hers on her spoon.

Put some lemon on it. Put lemon on it. And just go straight down the hatch. I'm shaking. Delicious. Put some lemon on it. Put some lemon on it. Put lemon on it. And just go straight down the hatch. I'm like shaking. She's doing too much chewing. She's chewing too much. She's got her hand over her mouth. She's not looking good.

She's wincing. Oh, God. You're selling it to me, Emily. Are you going to swallow it? No, she's doing it like a tequila shot. She's taking the lemon afterwards. No part of that looked pleasurable for Emily. I didn't like it. Didn't like it? No, you thought you would like it Emily. I didn't like it.

Didn't like it? You thought you would like it and you didn't like it. It's a hard no. It's a hard no. Megan, alright. Okay, okay. Just go. Can you cut me down?

Three, two, one. She's sucking it from the shell. Go straight down. Come on. You got it. You got it. Suck the lemon down like Emily did. Oh my God.

Oh look you got it. You're holding it in your mouth. Come on Megan've got it. You're holding it in your mouth. Come on, Megan. Come on, you're holding it in your mouth. Go. I can't. Go, just do it. You can do it.

I can see it dangling at the bottom of her mouth. Oh, just do it. It's so, she couldn't do it. Oh, well, Emily. Emily did it. You've got the gas gift card. Well done. Megan, you still haven't done an oyster, mate.

We're going to stay here until you've done an oyster. Emily's literally standing there sucking the lemon. A lot of people out right now will be like, what are you doing? Anyway, if you haven't got something you haven't done, 4487 on the text. It is the Hits Breakfast. This is DJ Sammy. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
