Jono and Ben, new to your mornings, friends of Skinny, New Zealand's most recommended telco. Happy, happy, happy, oh, oh. Just when you thought you couldn't get enough of Jono and Ben, you can have them anywhere, anytime. Welcome to the Jono and Ben podcast. Hello, it's Tuesday the 30th of March 2021. Here's your boys back at it. Jono and Ben, welcome. I see they've got rid of the boats

Have finally made its way out of the Suez Canal Overseas, it's been big coverage Around the world about their boat A lot of containers Oh, you look at the photo of it There would be thousands of containers on that ship Incredible, is it the Suez Canal? The Suez Canal?

I notice a lot of broadcasters just mumbling over it Yeah, I kind of tried to do that, which I should really take time to learn that. Yeah, but I had heard it pronounced both ways on the news, so I wasn't entirely sure. So what happened? Tell me about what happened. I just know the boat got stranded. Well, that's all I know, and it's been lots of social media memes that the boat, sort of a big boat, got kind of stuck on the angle and couldn't really get around.

And it's not like you just, you run about dinghy, is it? No. Where you get stuck on a reef or something. No, so I've enjoyed a lot of the social media memes like, pivot, pivot. The Ross from Friends one about how to get out of there. That's been one of my faves. But the ship to canal ratio seems way off.

Yeah. It seems like the canal is, obviously it's designed to get ships in and out of a harbour there, or a port, but it seems quite a tight squeeze anyway. I mean, it's not a two-way street, that canal, is it? No, no, you're right. So, I don't know how it happened, maybe a better radio show would. I just know that the boat is finally not stuck anymore, which is good news. How did they free it?

Did they tow it out with other boats? They had a little tiny digger. There was a photo going around at some stage. It was just trying to dig this little tiny little digger next to this giant big boat that was doing the rounds on social media as well. Just, you know, just working away. Oh, you had a fun show today. That's for sure.

We spoke to Ben, your old school principal. Oh, yeah. He had some home truths, didn't he? He did. And you basically announced your top five sexiest bald broadcasters in New Zealand. Very arrogant list, can I say.

Well, not up until number one. Well, sure. It was a selfless list from five through two. Which probably gives you... As soon as I hit number one you had issues. It gives you a little insider who takes out number one. So enjoy that, and congratulations on the boat getting out of the water. Two dads just trying to fill some airtime. Some might say it's pointless, but the main thing is it fills in some airtime for us.

That is the main thing. John and Ben, breakfast on the hits. We want to know this morning on 4487 on the text, have you had a beauty makeover that's gone wrong? Maybe you did something in the backyard or the bathroom that didn't quite work out as you planned because right now we've joined by a lady from Chicago who's an influencer who shares all her life to Instagram

and she shared a bit of a Botox botch job. And to explain more, she joins us. Her name is Whitney. How's it going? Hi, I'm good. How are you? We're doing very well. Sounds very American, which is good. Her name is Whitney. How's it going? Hi, I'm good. How are you? We're doing very well. Sounds very American, which is good.

Makes our show seem exotic. Yeah, you sound exotic to me. Yeah, it's great. Let's just all agree we all sound exotic. Yeah, we're not, but it's nice. Very nice to talk to you. What I find interesting about accents, too, is we here in New Zealand, we see our accent and hear our accent is very bland and boring. Oh, see, that's how I feel when I hear yours.

You know, we don't hear that here. So I'm like, oh, this is so cool. Yeah, see? Accents are crazy things. It sure is. Now, Whitney, you've been making a worldwide news. You're a Chicago-based influencer. You share a lot of your life to Instagram.

Your name is Whitney. And of course, Something Witty is the name of your Instagram handle, which I love. Lovely pun. Thank you. So how long have you been doing this? How long have you been sharing your life on the internet? I have been doing this for about four years now. So it's a full-time gig? No. So I work full-time in marketing and then I do this on the side. Oh, nice. So it's a hobby so you've posted

a picture of some botox uh which has sort of ended up in your eyelid and now you've got a droopy eye yeah exactly so i started botox about three years ago and i i'd say i get it about twice a year every like six months or so i initially went in for my normal Botox. I get my forehead lines and then the 11 lines between my eyebrows. And after that appointment about, you know, like four days later, I noticed that my left eyebrow was a lot lower than my right. So I texted my injector. She told me to come back and she would add four units to my left eyebrow, the one that was lower. She said it was no big deal. So I was like, okay, that, that sounds fine. I don't know for sure. So I went back just six days later and then she added the four units to my eyebrow. And then about four days after that is when I started seeing my eyelid

droop and my, my eye closing. Um, so what I later learned is that any injector should wait a full two weeks before touching you again, because the Botox can take two full weeks to settle in and to kind of, you know, move around and really set. And she injected me with those four additional units just six days later. So that was one of the problems. Yeah. And then the other problem was where she injected.

So she injected right below my eyebrow, which again, I learned from a bunch of professionals after the fact that you should never inject in that spot because this is exactly what can happen is this eyelid ptosis or ptosis, people say it differently, but the drooping eyelid, that's the effect of injecting under the eyebrow. And since, you know, I didn't really know any of this beforehand, typically it's the injector who's the knowledgeable one and tells you these things or knows these things. You would assume so. You would assume so. Yeah. So unfortunately, I had to find out the hard way. So you've got the stroopy eye situation. You said on your Instagram, you look a lot like

Two-Face, the character from the comic books. Oh, from Batman. Yeah. But how long do you, what happens? Is there any way they can get the Botox out of your system or is this you for a little bit? So unfortunately,

you can't dissolve Botox. I guess there's another, so there's Botox and there's filler. I guess you can dissolve filler but you cannot dissolve Botox, which I also didn't know before this.

So they can't inject anything to dissolve the Botox but what I have done is I've been prescribed prescription eye drops that are supposed to help open my eyelid about one to two millimeters, but it's not a long-term fix. It's kind of like, okay, you know, I need to go somewhere today. I want my eye to look more open. I use the drops, but then by that night they'll wear off. So they're not permanent. Um, and then I did have, now this is going to sound crazy, I know,

but I did have two additional units of Botox added right to my eyelid at my lash line because that's supposed to open your eyelid. And that was done by a professional who was highly recommended by plastic surgeons. Oh, God, you injected your eyelid? Yeah. Oh, so you tripled down on the Botox. You're botox if i get more and more in there maybe it'll cancel itself out i know i know people are like what were you thinking doing more and the only reason i did it is because this person who i was referred to was highly recommended and

this was what she said is like really one of the only fixes so did it work? Well, it's been about, it's been almost two weeks. And like I said, the Botox takes a full two weeks to kick in. And as of this past week, I finally started to see a little bit of improvement. So I would say like this past Thursday is when we started to see the eye opening up a little bit more. And I have a feeling it's due to those additional units of Botox. Now, has it put you off Botox? Are you going to get any more? That's a good question. And again, you're going to think

I'm crazy. I won't get Botox for a long time. No, but when you get Botox and it's done right, it looks amazing. Like it makes me feel good. It makes me feel more confident. My skin looks better. So it's hard for me to swear it off forever. I'll just make sure in the future that I find a very experienced person who knows the anatomy of the face and knows what they're doing, and hopefully this won't happen again. Listen, thank you for sharing. Bloody awesome of you. Thank you for bringing an American accent to our show.

Yeah. Of course. Yeah, no, they'll be talking about this in New Zealand for years to come. Did you hear that? An American accent again. Oh, wow, it sounded amazing. Yeah. I love it.

Yeah, so nice to talk to you. And yeah, it's amazing the news you've made from this blog. I know, it's insane. Well, thank you so much. It was really great talking with you. That is Whitney from Chicago and Influencer who's made international news. A crazy story there. It is. So we want to know your beauty botch ups. What happened when you tried to give yourself a beauty makeover? We'd love to get your calls and texts publicly. Shame

and embarrass you. We'll go to Charlotte. You're on from Christchurch. What was your backyard beauty botch up? Hi there. So my friend was learning how to do eyebrows and I kindly offered mine for her to do. The wax was way, way, way too hot, though, and it burnt the heck out of my eyelid to the point where it actually nearly put a hole in my eyelid. So I'm lucky she didn't blind me.

Oh. It was very gnarly. You get a lot of faith in your friends in my eyelid, so I'm lucky she didn't blind me. Oh. Jeez. It was very gnarly. She, well, you get a lot of faith in your friends when they're just trying and, you know, they're just learning. I find that with a lot of people, like, where did you get your tattoo done? Oh, my mate was learning to be a tattoo artist.

Really? And you practice on you? Yeah. You need to practice on something. You're like, okay. Yeah, I was like, good on you, Charlotte. That's wonderful. That reminded me when I went to the barber.

Remember when he shaved my hair? He shaved your eyebrows. Just before we were hosting the music awards. He's like, oh, do you want. That's wonderful. That reminded me when I went to the barber. Remember when he shaved my head? He shaved your eyebrows. Just before we were hosting the musical awards. He's like, oh, do you want me to give those a little tickle up? He said a little tickle up as if, you know, they shave eyebrows regularly as if it's a thing. And I turned up to the musical awards with no eyebrows. I'm like, okay.

We had to bend it to draw them all with a sharpie. Looked like one of the Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street. Pip, you're on from Tauranga. Morena. Morena, how are you? Oh, we're doing well, Pip. You back here at Beauty Bot Shop? Yeah, I was 16.

I'd just earned my first paycheck and decided to treat myself with getting my hair done. While I was there, the hairdresser forgot about me. I left the foils in for so long that it burnt my hair and it was coming out in clumps. She was combing it and the rest of it turned up fire engine red. Oh, my gosh. She's in a hair salon.

How did she forget about you? I have absolutely no idea. And then they still charge me full price. Oh, no. Oh, sorry to hear that. It's all the rage in Europe, the partially bald, fire-aging red look. Hey, good on you, Pip. Have a great day.

We'll go to Tauranga. Still in Tauranga. Zoe, how are you? I'm good, guys. How are you? Good. Zoe, we've spoken before. You're the doctor.

Yeah, that's me. We know, Zoe. What was your backyard? Now, as a doctor, you surely, surely you wouldn't have partaken in any backyard beauty botch-ups. So I decided to buy a home bikini waxing set. Needless to say, I was in the bathroom, couldn't go through with it, it hurt too much. Was looking around desperately for something to wipe the hot wax off, because I was like, quick, quick, before it sets, wipe it off.

And the only thing I could find was white cotton wool. Was desperately trying to wipe it off with white cotton wool thing I could find was white cotton wool. But that's what you're trying to wipe it off, white cotton wool, which obviously just stuck to the wax. So then instead of managing to get rid of hair, I then ended up having lots of kind of clumps of white fluffy cotton wool stuck to myself for about a week. So it looks like I had Mrs. Claus's bush.

That's why Sandra loves it. Oh, natural. Oh, that's amazing. Oh, jeez. And did it slowly, over a week, it disappeared? Oh, yeah, but I tried everything. I was putting, like, nail varnish remover on it. I didn't have anything to turn it off.

Oh, call of the day, Zoe. Thank you so much for listening. You have a great day. You too, guys. Experts in semi-accurate, half-remembered information. Vaguely known information, but maybe not correct. Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast on the hits. Now, over the weekend, there was a list released of the sexiest bald people,

bald celebrities, and Prince William took it out. He was the sexiest bald person in the world, a sexy celebrity. And Jono, we spoke about this a couple of times because this is a subject dear to your heart. Well, no, it's not dear to my heart. You blindsided me with this information just as the show was ending yesterday. You said, by the way, you didn't make the list.

And thank you for listening. We'll catch you tomorrow. I was blindsided. You said, well, if you're unhappy about not being on the list, then make your own list. you tomorrow. I was blindsided. You said well if you're unhappy about not being on the list then make your own list. Yeah I was also blindsided as well because the light was shining off your head, the bald head at the time and jeez it was

I was blindsided. But it's great to have media coverage for bald people too. That is. Us baldies just because our heads look like bowling balls doesn't mean you can just throw us in the gutter. Don't forget about us.

And we need to ride this wave out longer than Prince William's written out as Royal Reseda. Now, yesterday before the show ended, I not only told you about this bald list, but I said, how about you come up with a top five sexiest bald broadcasters in New Zealand?

NZSBB. NZSBB. New Zealand's sexiest bald broadcasters in New Zealand. NS, NZSBB, New Zealand's sexiest bald broadcasters. Yes, yeah. And you've worked tirelessly overnight to come up with the top five list. Yeah, and let's not take anything away from Prince William, who's let his side curtains run freer than Megan and Harry from the Royal Family. So congratulations to him. Yeah, well done.

This is not to take away from his victory. No, no, it's a great victory. This is just localising it with our homemade Homer Simpsons. At number five, Gary McCormick. He may be on More FM, but I tell you what he could do with more of, and that is hair on top of his head. It's Gary McCormick here from More FM. Thank you, Gary, for accepting that award.

Gary's not bald. You know that, right? He's got wispy bits. That doesn't count. It counts. He's got wispy bits around the past. Why didn't you say you were not bald? He's not bald anyway.

I guess it's your list, but I'd like another new number five. Gary McCormick's been eliminated from the top five list. He'll be devastated. He won't be. Because he's got too much hair on his head. Yeah. Anyway, okay. It's clinging on for dear life.

Okay, well, sorry, McCormick. You've been eliminated from the top five. At number five, new number five then. Have you been paying attention? Because you'll notice, well, no, that's not Dr. Phil. That's Vaughn Smith from Have You Been Paying Attention and ZM. Oh, yeah. I don't know if snails have the capability to

plan their day like a human would. He's a hot-hits baldy, isn't he? Are you happy with his number five placing? Anything, he could be higher, but I haven't heard the rest of them, so alright. Number four. Someone call the doctor and make an appointment with my hair transplant

surgeon. This hunky, naked noggin could operate on me any day of the week. It's Dr. Drew McCaskill from Shortland Street. Oh, OK. Which seems like the perfect time to introduce myself. Drew McCaskill, the jerk. The character or the person, the actor playing Drew? It's Ben Barrington, actor from Shortland Street.

Yeah, OK, I'll give you that one. He's a hot baldy. At number three, his bald head is a solar panel for a sex machine. And I tell you what, he's got my heart beating, and I'd like to wake up and have a late night big breakfast with that guy, Lee Hart. Oh, I wish I could do a show with him. My name's Lee Hart. Born in Greymouth, New Zealand.

Currently living in Auckland, making TV and doing a bit of radio. There you go, Lee Hart. What did you say over there, Lee Hart? Nothing. You rudely talked over Lee Hart's audiogram, something about wanting to do a show with him? Yeah, yeah. A lot of people were talking.

Lee was talking, I was talking. Number two, boxer and league player Monty Beetham. I tell you what, his head might look like a light bulb, but it'll be lights out if you get this hot ball-y's fist in your face. From a young age of 14, I caught on to some of the quotes that are out there, and one of them was, if you fail to prepare, prepare to fail.

Monty, very hot. Like, he's there. He's hot, yeah. Look at that body. That's well sculpted. That's almost like the rock made love to Vin Diesel, and they gave birth to Monty Beetham, and that was what was created. Well-deserved second place there, Monty. Yeah, well I

can't wait to see who's number one. And the sexiest, baldest broadcaster in New Zealand. Local edition. Local edition. Much loved broadcaster, philanthropist and Kiwi Bank New Zealander of the Year. Who? Jono Pryor.

Oh no. Jono Pryor the Oh, no. Jono Pryor, the hottest, sexiest, local bald broadcaster. You were none of those things. It's my list. You're not keeping back New Zealander of the Year? Who says? It's my list. I can say whoever I am. You can't call yourself New Zealander of the Year.

Well, if anyone's got any problems with the list, they can text 4487. It's my list. I'll put myself at number one. Number one. Number one. Why wouldn't you? Number one. Oh, my God. Well, who's there to contest it?

Oh, yeah. Anyone else. And everyone else. Anyone else. Put McCormick at number one. And he's got wispy bits. From stealing Mike Hosking's car to stealing the hearts of New Zealand. Jono and Ben.

New Zealand's breakfast. On the hits. Actual hearts being not bestowed. Now, I want to bring a bit of a debate and get some help from our hits friends. Listen, to listen to the radio programme. Are you just trying to form an argument, get a team of people behind you

so that you can go home to your wife Amanda and say, see, I have the support of a nation. Yeah, pretty much. But I will... She doesn't have a radio show to do that. No, but if it doesn't fall in my favour, then I will understand. And I'll take that same argument home.

I'll take that discussion home. So about six months ago, we got given something. And I got given something. And I'm not going to say who it was from because I don't want to, you know. I don't need to go there. But it was a painting, a picture from home. Now, it's a cool painting, but it's not really my,

what I would say would be a cool painting. It's not what you would have purchased from the art gallery. No. Is it an art gallery piece? No, but it's like, I imagine it's a trendy store. Like, I imagine it's probably worth a good, you know, quite a bit. I imagine, you know, over a hundred bucks sort of thing.

It's a cool print. Have you hung it up on the wall? No. No, I haven't. Because it doesn't really, there's no way really to put it. It's not your style. It's not really my style.

It's not an extension of Ben Boyce, the human being. It doesn't really fit. So I'm like, well, this has just been sitting in the spare room basically, just sits there on the floor. And so now I've got to the point where I'm like, well, what do I do with this?

You know, like I can't re-gift it because I'm a fan of re-gifting because I feel like art's quite a personal thing. So I feel like even though the person probably thought, oh, Ben might like this, they've got it wrong. They've screwed up. Which is fine. There's a black mark on their gift giving.

They gave it a crack and that's fine. I appreciate that. Sometimes you have wins and losses in the present game. So I don't want to re-gift it to someone else. I'm a fan of that. Anyway, that's discussion for another day.

So I'm like, oh, hey, let's just put it on Trade Me. Well, now this is a double kick in the face. You're not only re-gifting, but you're also profiting off the present.

This is two kicks in the guts of the present. Yes. Is it? Yes. Well, they've paid for it already. They've done their

transaction is complete. What am I going to do? Keep it there and then when the person comes around, I'm going to go, oh, I've got to put this painting up. Exactly. That's what any other good human would do. Hide it away when they come over, put it on display and say, well, we love this piece of art. It's an extension of me as a human being. But I don't.

I appreciate it. So I'm gathering Amanda's like, you can't sell this present or trade me. She's like, you can't sell it. You know, like at least give it away or do something. I'm like, well, I could. You know, I could do that. And I'm happy to do that. But I'm like, well, why not?

It's a crime upon present giving. Punishable by an inhumane death. Thanks to wrapping paper or something. Isn't it giving it to someone else who wants it? You know, like if there was someone else that really wanted it, then I would give it to them. But I don't know that. So I'm not going to go through that process.

I might just put it on Trade Me. How would you feel if you gave someone something and then popped up on Trade Me under their account? You're like, oh, okay. I'd be like, well, good on them for realising that it wasn't for them. And I'm trying to form a good argument here. In the realms, it's the same sort of realms. I love it when someone gives you

a present, but they're like, there's an exchange card in there where they've got no confidence in the present. But no one ever in the history of receiving a present has gone, great, well, I'll use that exchange card. I have. I have. Have you? Do you tell the giver?

No. Of course not. If they ask me what happened to that, I'll be like, oh, well, you gave me the exchange card. And then I sold that on Trade Me me so can you sell a present this is the question this morning can you sell a pre can you profit off the generosity of one of your friends oh 800 the hits now i 4487 the you hear those stories on christmas day and you know and it gets to boxing day and they're like oh everyone's put their presents up on Trade Me. People do that, right?

This is what we want to know. Well, maybe you're one of them. Oh, 800 the hits. Maybe you're back, Ben. Can you put a present that you've been given on Trade Me? So we've got a full board of calls, Ben. And which way is the vote going to fall? Debbie and Te Araha, welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast.

Can you sell a present? Of course you can. Go for it. Oh, confident too. Have you sold in the past, Debbie? Yeah, of course. And I've told them it's not my thing and I'm going to sell it and perhaps

next time just get me a voucher. You're a brutally honest present receiver. Well, listen, okay, now that's cool. You sell it and we'll call them next. We'll call the people next. Who, me? Who gave you the art. No. I now that's cool. You sell it and we'll call them next. We'll call the people next. Who? Who, me? Who gave you the art. No.

I think that's fair, Juliet. We don't need to drag them into it. No comment. No. We don't need to drag anyone else into it. Listen, Debbie, you're saying honesty is the best policy? Absolutely. Absolutely.

I'll tell the others on radio. We all want to hear it. All right, thank you, Debbie. Welcome. We'll get Cherie on from Wellington. Selling it or not selling it? The presents, can you resell them? Yeah, definitely.

You should... A gift is a gift. Once you give it away, it's yours. You can do what you like with it. I know, but there's an emotional attachment to it. It's not like something you've just purchased from Kmart and you're like, oh, that's not for me. I'll sell it.

This has been carefully chosen. Oh, they got it wrong. They got it wrong. They gave it a crack and I appreciate it and it was lovely and I did some

of the best acting I've ever done at the time going, oh, wow, this is lovely. And you lied to them. Oh, Cherie, have you sold a present too, Cherie? No, I haven't sold a present.

I've given away gifts. Oh, you give them away. I do that normally and you know, I normally do that but in this occasion, away gifts. Oh, you give them away. I do that normally. And, you know, I normally do that. But on this occasion, art, personal, hey, you make some money from it. Yeah, exactly.

It's up for me to give it to someone else and burden them with that. We always say he's got the tightest tush in radio. And literally, he works out on those glutes. It's a wonderful backside. Nettie, you're on from Danny Virk. How are the Vikings this morning? Oh, hi. I don't normally listen to you because I'm

up because I'm in mind. I had a problem this morning with the goat. Thank you for the goat for allowing you to come and listen to us. I don't usually listen to you. I'm dealing with a goat. The goat's like, hey, I'll sort my problems out if you listen to John on the bed.

You're like, alright. No, no, I'll sort my problems out if you listen to John on a bed. You're like, all right. No, no, no, no, no, no, because I wake up, because I wake up and a goat was tied up next door. Listen. And I truly took a cup of carrots over because I don't know how much you hate goats. This is the best call we've ever had. This is a wonderful backstory

to how you've ended up on our show, Nettie. We get it, Nettie. You don't listen to us on the show. That's fine. Neither does this goat, this problematicie. We get it, Nettie. You don't listen to us on the show. That's fine. Neither does this goat, this problematic goat. Okay, but laughter at the people who want to me. So I'm

tired of the goat. I thought I'd take a cup of carrot soup. Do you know what you're calling up for? No, no. A pair of presents. Presents. I normally keep them, but then I thought of that way back when I got married. I got plenty of toasters and I got a few toasters. A lot of toasters.

A lot of goats and toasters. And then, you know, I took them back to the shop and I swapped the shop for something else. Oh, you swapped it? Because I'm 51 now, so... No, that's all right, Nettie. She's like Jay-Z. She's got a lot of problems. Goats. Problematic goats being one

of them. them No this is The only time Because I do like animals But dump the filth Over the goat Oh I feel Good on you Nettie Thank you so much

A lot of goat content In that call Producer Humphrey Did you Did you talk to her Off air And you said What do you want to talk about

And she said goats And you're like great I'll put her on I loved it I loved every moment Of that Nettie Good on you Nettie You're an, great, I'll put her on. I loved it. I loved every moment of that, Nettie. I'm going to send you out something, alright? You're an absolute hero and Hannah

will knock this on the head. Can you sell a present? Absolutely not. I'm a big no. I'm a big, big no. It's like, it's bad juju. You can't sell it. What should he do with it then if he doesn't like it? Yeah, no, so

if you don't like it, absolutely fine. You don't like everything. We get it. But we need it, you know? Give it away. Give it to charity. Give it to charity. Normally I would give it away, but in this occasion I was like,

well, it's a personal thing at Heartworks. No, he's going, in this occasion I could probably get quite a bit of cash for this. Yeah, that's what it sounds like. Yeah, it does sound like that, and you might be right. Well, listen, Ben, it's fallen your way. 70% of people agree with you. You can resell it. And one of the callers says a lot of goat issues going on as well.

There we go. So you can sell it. You can take this home to Amanda with your head held high and all of your morals intact. Ben and Jono call this show Jono and Ben. Breakfast on the Hets. The Hets. Both my daughters

are doing some really cool stuff for school at the moment at home to do with their school assignments. One of them has to cook two three course meals

for the family as part of a school thing. I'm like, this is great. This is really great. Is there a part of you like, oh,

you know, they don't have the skills to cook three course meals. What are you expecting on the menu? We did some of the weekend. It was actually a really great job of it. We had like a pasta dish and an entree as well as a dessert as well. Well, I mean, they're your kids, aren't they?

You're never going to go full Gordon Ramsay on them. So you accept maybe some undercooked pasta or something like that, don't you? Yeah. You're not going to go MasterChef and start judging. It's quite good for their skills as well, too, because also budgeting and all that sort of stuff. I was like, decide what you want to do for your menu and then type it into a countdown online and see how much it's going to cost.

And she was like, ooh, ooh. You're like, yeah, there you go. There you go. That's what mum and dad are doing. That's one meal. We're on there every day. And then my other daughter's fundraising at the moment for something for school.

And then she was like, oh, I want to do like a lemonade and cookie sale out the front of the property. And I scoffed at this. I was like, oh, no one's going to stop out the front of our property. It's like the lemonade, like lemon squeezed, you know. It's like, it's not even proper lemonade. It's not Sprite or anything.

No, it's just like bitter lemon water. Yeah. Yeah, you always drive past those. They're like, you want to it's like, it's not even proper lemonade. It's not Sprite or anything. No, it's just like bitter lemon water. Yeah. Yeah, you always drive past those and they're like, you want to buy a drink, mister? It's like, oh no, I'll just go to the petrol station. Why would I want some manky murky lemonade made by unexperienced children on the side of the road? But they actually did all right.

Her and a friend got a bit of money in my, because we were working that day and we got a text from my wife going, got a few people stopping on the street. It's, you know, because I was like, it's not a street for people to stop normally so i was like oh that's great and even um someone from my motorcycle gang stopped and paid 15 dollars uh for a couple of lemonades and a couple of cookies oh that's lovely friendly neighborhood gang member yeah oh that's what i bought two cookies and two lemonades that's lovely it's been thirsty out there so thirsty work oh so i had to hush my mouth. I was like, well, prove me wrong.

Shut me up. Now you can cook me a three-course meal. And go to Countdown. The other thing I find interesting too is when you get accosted by people, is now speaking of the supermarket, when you go out, they plant them in the exits now. Oh, yeah. Don't they?

Entry, exit. You can't avoid it. All sorts of charities, none that I'll name in shame. But, you know, you walk in and you see them. And they see you and they're like, yeah, you may have got away this time, buddy, but we'll get you on the exit. I know.

And they get you on the exit and you spend the whole time in the supermarket thinking of reasons why you can't donate to the charity. And it's not even a donation thing. It's a sign-up thing. Oh, I know. Just take five bucks and leave me alone. Leave me alone.

What is it, $10 now? Okay, whatever. I'll just take it. No, no, no. My brother does this for a job. Good on them. They are doing a wonderful thing. What do you mean?

As soon as they're like, just sign up. Oh, my God. I'll go to the EFPLOS machine and get whatever, because they're always next to an ATM now as well. Yeah. You're like, no, oh, no, no, it's not a donation thing. It's like a monthly sort of, you know. What's with the signing up, guys? Let's keep

it old school. All right? Get out of the exit of the supermarket. They're right there, aren't they? You can't, and you can't look, and like, the best thing is, though, as it has happened to me once before, is when they've got, they're accosting someone else, and you can't look, and the best thing is, though, as it has happened to me once before, is when they've got, they're accosting someone else, and you're like, well, mate,

you're a lamb to the slaughter. Thank you for taking the hit on this one. You almost need a time to run, just hold back at the car park and be like, oh, hang on, hang on. Oh, they've got someone. They've got their hooks into someone. I can hold my head down.

They'll get you on the way out, won't they? Push their trolley out in a hurry. Want more Jono and Ben? You that trolley out in a hurry. Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime. Just search Jono and Ben on Facebook. Five words for 5K on the hood.

You're only five words away from a massive payday. It is our Game of Word Association. We do it every day at 7.45. We tell you five words, you tell us the first things that pop into your head. If they match with our words, you win $5,000. This is the only excitement we get in our lives, isn't it? In our miserable lives. That and how long can we park our car outside the building before they get a parking ticket. This is the two most exciting things in our day.

Tanya from Whangarei, welcome to the show. Mōrena, boys. Mōrena to you, Tanya. How's it in the north today? The weather all right? It's raining today. Yeah, where we are too. I think it's raining across the whole country when you, Tanya. How's it in the north today? The weather alright? It's raining today. Yeah, where we are too. I think it's raining across the whole country when you're saying, Ben. Yeah, it's meant to be

terrible weather this week. Hopefully it picks up for the long weekend. Let's not focus on that, though. Let's focus on the positive. Tanya, you could win $5,000. Oh, okay. It could be raining money. I hope so. Ah, you've got to choose someone to head into the soundproof booth. Who's it going to be, Ben or myself, Tanya?

Ben. All right. Listen, I don't blame you after yesterday's efforts. We'll lock our little dear friend Ben Boyce in the soundproof booth. One time we forgot he was in the booth, and we locked him in there for seven nights. He didn't see his family for an entire week, eh, Juliet? No, it was probably quite scary for him.

He had to survive solely on the liquid that his body provided. The nervous sweat. Ooh, Tanya. Now the pressure's on you speaking of nervous sweat. How are you feeling? Very nervous.

You played at home, obviously, or in the car? Yep, I play in the car on the way to work every morning. Have you had any passive match-ups, meaning that you've matched up while playing along? I have, a couple of them, yeah. Right, so you've done it before.

Yep. You've fake won $5,000 before. Let's see if you can do it for real this time. The first word that comes into your head when I say sipper. Slipper, did you say? Slipper, S-I-P-P-E-R. Slipper. Cup? Slipper cup. Slipper, sipper? I don't even know what sipper means. You can have a little think about it. Slipper cup? Slipper, not supper. Yeah, no, definitely sipper.

Sipper cup. You're going to lock in sipper cup? Yeah. Sipper cup, yep. Loud. Noise. Tea. As in T-E-A.

Coffee. Coffee. Oh, hang on. Tea, tea, tea, cup. Tea cup. Coffee Coffee Oh hang on Tea Tea Tea Cup Tea Cup You're loving cup

Um Yeah well I like cup You're locking in cup Double cups Oh Oh I did two Uh

Okay, tea, coffee. Village. People. Straw. Could be hay, could be straw. Drink. Straw drink. be straw. Drink? Straw drink. Sip?

Drink? Straw? Drink. You're locking in drink. Those are your five words. Jeez, it was a tough run today, Tarns. Already five. Oh, no.

That was the odds stacked against you. It was really hard. The ones I listened to on the radio, I'm like, oh, those are so easy. Come on, guys. And a lot of it, too, when you're playing on the radio, there's an extra layer of pressure there, isn't there? Yeah, yeah. But we'll get them out of the soundproof booth.

Ben Boyce here to give it a good, honest crack of winning $5,000. If it was a dishonest crack, we'd have to report them to the police. It'd be match-fixing. I don't like sipper at all. Sipper, I don't even know what sitar means. Yeah, so I'm sorry, Tanya. Those were some tough words there, Ben. Oh, don't say tough words.

But if anyone, if anyone could pull it off for Tanya, it'd be you. OK, OK, boss is up now. Here we go. You know how the game works? Yes. You need to match your five words with Tanya's five words. I'm aware of that, yeah. It would be concerning if you didn't know the

formatics of the game now, four months into it. Here we go. Sipper. S-I- double P-E-R. First word that comes into your head, Ben. Bottle. Oh! Sipper bottle!

Sipper bottle? Sipper. Tanya, ho. Sip a bottle. Sip a bottle? Sip a... Tanya, you said... Sip a cup. Sip a cup? Of course it's sip a cup. Why would you say sip a bottle? I don't know. Well, that's...

Oh, sorry. We'll go through, you know, we'll do the dance, won't we? Play this painful game. We'll go through the remaining words, see how close you would have got. Loud. Quiet. Tea. Quiet. Tea.

Coffee. Village. Idiot. What did you go on that one, Tanya? People. Village people. Your love of costumes, I thought you would have loved the village people.

Straw. Hat. There's one in there, guys. It wasn't to be today, Tanya. Oh, never mind. It was so much fun anyway. What was straw? I got through.

She went straw drink. Oh. What do you mean, what was straw? Who cares now? What's the point? What's the point? Let's play another pink song. All right, let's do that.

Well, thanks, L.A.B. Thanks, guys. Sorry, Tanya. Have a good day. We're proud of New Zealand. Woo's play another pink song. All right, let's do that. Well, thanks, LAB. Thanks, guys. Sorry, Tanya. Have a good day. They're proud of New Zealand. Go, New Zealand. If only New Zealand was proud of them. Jono and Ben.

New Zealand's breakfast. On the hits. Spy. Know what's up. Spy.co.nz. She has just taken up a role in North Korea as Kim Jong-un's military leader because she's here to drop some nuclear truth bombs on celebrities. Juliet, what's happening? Now Madonna is in a little bit of, I don't want to say hot water, but people are throwing accusations at her.

Maybe it's just tepid water. Yeah, that's a good description. That is a good description. Now she posted a photo on Instagram of herself sitting on what looks like a beanbag, posing with quite a, kind of like a pout sort of thing, and

with a comment, with a caption I look cool, hashtag rebel heart. Now, people have discovered through TikTok that this is actually a photoshopped image of her face on someone else's body. Now, discovered through TikTok that this is actually a photoshopped image of her face on someone else's body. Now, the person whose body this is posted a video to TikTok saying,

when Madonna photoshops herself onto you and posts it to Instagram to promote her new album. Now, everyone's now throwing comments on Madonna's photo being like, this is photoshopped, how dare you? How dare you? All this sort of stuff. But I've kind of looked closer at the image. And next to the head, you can kind of see a little watermark. Someone's kind of put their name as if they're claiming

that they were the one that photoshopped it. So we're not sure now. So Madonna wasn't on her Apple Mac going, you know what? It'll be fun. I'll put my face on a 23-year-old's body. Yeah, we're not sure. So people, I think, initially were like, and it is quite a bad Photoshop.

Like, her head looks huge on the body. Same as I was on the, it happened to me the other day. I was like, someone has Photoshopped my head onto Mr Burns' body from The Simpsons. And then I was like, no, it's not Photoshop.

It's just a picture of me at the beach. And that was a harsh reality to come to terms with. But why would, when you think about it, why would Madonna waste her time? She's got multi-millions of dollars. Yeah, I know. She can buy a new body. She could even pay someone to chop their head off and donate a body to her. If she wanted, she's Madonna. I'd give my body to Madonna. So you're saying the new story really isn't really much of a story. Well, yeah, because I don't think people actually realise that she might have just seen it as someone else had made it

and then just reposted it just because she thought it was funny, you know? So people are throwing accusations at her. Tell you what, the internet doesn't like funny. They won't like funny. Up in arms, baby. They'll take that in a level-headed fashion. And just a little announcement for Pink. She's got a new

member of the family, a little rescue puppy, but she's named it something really interesting. It's quite a mouthful for a dog. I mean, dogs usually have quite simple names.

Habanero Mountain Guy Kardashian. Hadashi Hart. Imagine trying to tell that dog off. It's a very cute dog, but quite an excessive name. I feel like all the

leftover names they wanted to call their kids. We'll just lump it all on the dog. The dog can deal with this burden. Is Bo just Bo your dog?

Has he got a surname? Bo Boyce. Oh Bo Boyce when he goes to doggy daycare. Oh that's so cute. Bit of alliteration.

Bo Boyce sounds like a used car salesman. Bo Boyce, 91 Toyota Corolla. Very low case, one careful elderly owner.

But Bo Boyce would definitely be ripping you off of the car. He'd be turning back the odometer. It's a very flash name. Bowboys Motors. We don't really refer to him by his full name. In fact, we don't.

But when you take him to the doggy day care we do a couple of times a week. Bowboys. They go Bowboys. Or the vet. The vet will write Bowboys. And it's kind of a bit weird seeing your dog have a last name. That's how I found my dog's name. Oh, okay.

I guess you take it on our last name. Now, your cat that I always forget about. Yeah, Bubble. Bubble. Bubble Boyce. Bubble Boyce. Bubble Boyce sounds like a gigolo. Bow and Bubble Boyce.

Yeah. Prouder than both. Love them both. Much simpler names than Pink's dog. And there's five more you can get to the hits.co.nz. Paid to talk words and stuff into a microphone. It's New Zealand's breakfast. Jono and Ben on the hits.

I noticed something over the weekend, actually. So my daughters, they've kind of grown up. I guess our work is radio and TV, so they've grown up around the TV and radio industry. Showbiz. They're showbiz kids. I don't know if you can call what we do showbiz. Showbiz, baby. But anyway, you know, I've kind of grown

up knowing Jono from Jono and Ben and a whole lot of other people coming to work. You know, one of my daughters came in when we were filming with Justin Bieber and got to, you know, meet him and get a photo with him. But it didn't seem like that big a deal at the time compared to the weekend where we went. I caught up with my family when we came back.

We came back from Hamilton a bit later, so my family had just gone for a drink and we were going to go out for dinner. The kids can't start drinking too early. That's what I've always said. Meet us at the pub, Dad. They were just there with my wife. But we went in there and my daughters were like, Dad, you'll never guess who's here.

I'm like, I don't know who it is. It's Kim from The Bachelor. I'm like, oh, I wouldn't it is. It's Kim from The Bachelor. And I'm like, oh, I wouldn't have guessed because I haven't been watching The Bachelor. But for them, they've been watching The Bachelor. And I guess this is one of the first times they've been watching a show. And for them, this is such a huge deal. What does Kim from The Bachelor do? She was working at the bar. She was a waiter. Oh, she's the waiter at the bar. They would have been fizzing.

Oh, they were so, and we were like, we can't go anywhere else. We have to have dinner here because Kim from The Bachelor's here. Kim was lovely. I had to go up and ask for a selfie to give my kids. She was awesome. She came and talked to them. But it was amazing how when the kids, it's been such a much bigger deal for them because they have been watching, passionately watching The Bachelor. Do you know my favourite thing when Ben

had to ask someone for a selfie? Do you remember Cash Me Outside? How about that? Yes, yes. This was the greatest story. Oh, my goodness. So we were in America. We had for work, and then we were walking along the street,

and then it was me and Sharon. Yeah, because we were doing the radio show with Sharon. She's like, look, there's the Cash Me Outside lady. And Sharon's like, I don't have makeup on, but Ben, you've got to go up and ask her for a photograph. Oh no please don't. She's like we need it for our social media page. It was the big thing. Cash me outside.

How about that? Have you got that in the system Jude? It was all over social media. And she was kind of, she was on Dr Phil and she was a disgruntled pre-teen and ended up in a dispute with someone in the audience. She's like cash me outside. How about that? And it became a disgruntled preteen. Yeah. And ended up in a dispute with someone in the audience. She's like, cash me outside.

How about that? Yeah. And it became a little saying that people use. A cash trace. And I was like to Sharon, I was having this, it was almost like a marital argument on the sidewalk. I was like, please don't make me go. She's like, go and get a selfie with the cash me outside girl.

I'm like, I'm a grown man. This is why I don't have social media. I'm not forced with these problems. So by default, Ben had to walk up to a 14-year-old girl and go, Hi, from New Zealand. We don't get celebrities like this in New Zealand. Can I get a photo? And she had obviously like a mind of sort of a security person.

And he was like, what's this? What's going on? And I was like, I just want a photo. Oh, okay. And we got this photo. She, you know, like, I mean, none of us. I don't think her, me, no one looked into the photo. It was the bleakest photo I've ever seen.

You meant to smile in photos. Both of us looked like none of us wanted to be there. And fair enough, too. It was like, this was an awkward moment. I mean, it was lovely that she agreed to do the photo, but I was like, oh, Sharon, please. And Sharon would have been frothing. I was like, Sharon, you get the photo with the lady.

She was like, no, cut, cut. Yeah, no, that was very funny. You were questioning your life at that moment, weren't you? Yeah. He had no dignity left as he wandered back with a, here's your photo with the cashmere soy girl. Put that on social media. Real Kiwi blokes with soy lattes.

Mmm. Shono and Ben, breakfast on the hits. Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me. Feel so holy. days. Mmm. Shona and Ben, breakfast on the hits. It is Justin Bieber, holy, 16 past six on a Tuesday morning. Producer Juliet, you were just saying that you've been listening to his new album. Yes, new album. It is very good, better than his last one. I'm a Bieber fan. I said his last

one was good when it came out, but this one is better. Yeah, Juliet has been stalking Bieber for over a decade now. Yeah, it's quite concerning. What's your favourite Justin Bieber song? Oh, you can't do this to me. Oh, that is so stressful. I actually know I'm actually going to have to

take half an hour and narrow it down. My sister asked me, she was like, what are your favourite songs from the new Justin Bieber album? And I literally took 10 minutes listening to them all. I was like, nope, that one goes before that one. That's too much at 6.17 in the morning for Julia. Funny you say that because the first song on his album was called Too Much. Anyway.

Going round Old Town, we're phoning every town and city. And today, a little special treat that's been organised behind the scenes with Millennial Max. We're heading to Masterson, Ben. You may be familiar. My old hometown. Your old hometown. And joining us on the phone is the principal, who's up early from your former college. Wairarapa College.

Wairarapa College. His name, Matt White-Morena. Good morning. How are you, Matt? I'm very well, thank you. It's Jono Pryor here from the Hits. You'll know, we've prearranged this, but there's a little surprise for my mate Benjamin Boyce.

Matt is, in fact, the principal of your old high school, Ben. Oh, Wairarapa College. That is me, yes, I am. How is the old stomping ground? Are they good? Oh, it's always good. It always has been good. Always will be.

He's even giving kudos to future principals of the school. He doesn't even know. I deny. So how long have you been there, Matt? Oh, this is, what are we, term one. We're now in week nine. So I've been here nine weeks. Oh, you're brand new now in a classic two degrees of separation.

Matt used to be Millennial Max's school principal. Well, I wasn't quite at the top. I can't claim the credit for that. But he was one of the fine men at Scott's College when I was an assistant principal. Oh, an assistant principal. Well, I tell you what, you've done a wonderful job. You've churned out a fine human being in Millennial Max. I'll take the credit.

Now, the reason I wanted to get you on is something that Ben has openly spoken about many times before. He's behind closed doors, he's spoken about to me. In fact, he won't stop banging on about us. What's this? On your wall of legends, the alumni of YCOL, Ross Taylor, Black Cat, features on the wall a couple legends, the alumni of Wycole,

Ross Taylor, Black Cat, features on the wall two times, I think. And Ben Boyce, he does his stuff. He's not on the wall once. Not one picture of Ben Boyce. I've just come from Hot Cross Buns with our staff this morning and've confirmed Ben Brantboy is not on the Board of Fame. Not on the board of fame. I thought you were about to say we've had a meeting and we're going to put him on.

No, no, no, but I think Ross Taylor's got three or four pitches up. Three or four? See, this is the thing. I don't think for a second I deserve to be up there, because Ross Taylor is one of the best cricketers we ever had, but it feels like with three or four pitches, you really are trying to... Yeah, I couldn't give them away.

But they refused to put you up. I love it. I love it. It really sounded like you were leading into going, we've made a board decision, and we're going to put him on the wall. But it was the opposite. It was, no, no, we're confirming he's not on there,

and he will never be on there. It's fair enough, to be honest. I'd be the same. Hey, so how many kids at the school these days? Got 1140. Fantastic young people. Now we phone every town and city in Aotearoa, Matt, and

listen, you're new to Masterton, I'm gathering. Fresh new principal at the school. What is there to see and do and love in Masterton? Like most small towns, we've got one of everything. So we've got one pool, one park, one playground. You just keep it simple.

You don't need too many choices, do you? We keep it simple so you don't get confused. We're not far from amazing beaches. Ngawi and Castle Point are special to me and you're not far from getting out into the mountains and away from the hustle and bustle. Close to Palmerston North and Wellington, don't have to live there, so there's a big bonus as well.

They've got one of everything except for Ross Taylor pitches where they've got three or four. It's the only thing that breaks the mold. Well, I tell you what, if you love Ross Taylor and you don't like making decisions, well then, Masterton is the place for you. Come on down. Great school, too.

Yeah, it is a great school and a great little community. So lovely talking to you, and yeah, all the best. All the best, gents. Next time you're in town, Ben, make sure you come along. We might even get that photo up for you. Oh, there we go. A ceremony. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

You didn't say where he's going to put the photo, though. That's for sure. It definitely won't go on the wall of legends. Hey, to put the photo, though. That's for sure. It definitely won't go on the wall of legends. Thank you very much, mate. Have a good one. Cheers, James. Nice talking to you. See you, mate.

Broadcasting live. And mostly awake. Jono and Ben. New Zealand's breakfast. On the hits. Time to play the name game. All you need to play this game is a name. You just give us a call, tell us your name,

and then we frantically try and Google famous people with that same name and see how many you can guess in 30 seconds. It's a panicked rush. Anxiety is running high, and I need to take my heart medication after we play this game. There's a lot of pressure on us all, and we're going to start with Aaron from Tauranga. Morena, Aaron, how are you, my friend?

Good, thanks. What's up? Yeah, good, buddy. Great to have you on. Where are you heading off to this Good, thanks. Yourself? Yeah, good, buddy. Great to have you on. Where are you heading off to this morning, Aaron? I'm just driving to Monaco. Oh, yeah, from Tauranga.

What's in Monaco? We've had a job up here for three weeks, so I've been staying in Auckland. What do you do? An asbestos assessor. Oh, that's a dangerous job. It's all right for us, though.

We're not in there. Oh, you just go, oh, yeah, there's some asbestos there. Need to get rid of that. Someone better get rid of that. Is there a lot of asbestos still around? You drive through Penrose and those areas, it's covered almost half the rooms you see around there, Super 6 or whatever.

Right. It seemed to be at a time where it was getting used back in the day. It was like corrugated iron for Tito. Everyone had asbestos everything. Right. It seemed to be like a time where it was getting used back in the day. It was like corrugated iron for Tito. Everyone had asbestos everything. It's a great product. It's a great product.

It's still giving you work today. Okay Aaron, the timer starts now. Ben's going to be your clue giver. Famous Aaron. He's a rugby player,

all black, halfback, plays for the Highlanders. Oh no Aaron, I know Aaron. I can't remember his last name. Your very common last name is Smith. Oh, yeah, Smith. Yeah, that's it.

Hey! Oh, Elvis Presley's real name. Elvis Aaron Presley. Oh, he was Aaron. Yeah, exactly. These are a lot of hanging. What's hard is he's a TV creator of Beverly Hills. Tory Spelling's dad.

Aaron Spelling, yeah. Aaron's very hard. I mean, lead actor on Breaking Bad. Jono, do you know that one? Aaron. Yeah, Aaron Paul. Singer from the 90s. Younger brother of Nick from Backstreet Boys.

Aaron Carter. Yeah, there you go. Aaron Carter, there you go. Aaron, you there? We've got a couple of late ones in there, but yeah, very hard without giving away the last name. Okay, you've got two there, my friend. We'll go over to Kim.

Welcome from Turo. Kim, how are you? Yeah, good. Yes, I am. Waking up this morning, Kim? Sure am. Yeah, you still in the waking up process? Oh, no.

Would be a danger on the road if that was the case. Okay, Kim's off to work, and we're going to try and name as many famous Kims in 30 seconds. Start the timer, Jew. Been trying hard to keep up with her family. She was married to Kanye. Do you have her name? Kim Kardashian.

There we go. I thought you knew, but then you paused. Famous New Zealand actor, was on Shoreland Street, now lives in America. Kim. Oh, God. I know her, but I've forgotten her last name. Kim Crossman.

On to the next one. Cute, adorable-looking North Korean dictator. Kim Jong-un. There's two. Sex and the City. Oh! It's a draw. It's a draw.

Well done. Both of you guys take away some hell pizza. Enjoy that, all's a draw. It's a draw. Well done. Both you guys take away some hell pizza. Enjoy that, all right? Thanks. Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime. Just search Jono and Ben on Instagram. Scrolling through your feed.

So we were just talking about Kim Kardashian, and coincidentally, here's the Kim Kardashian of news updates because he also launched his career off the back of a saucy video. I worked my ass off to get some traction on that content, Ben. It was a great video. And so do you. No one was working harder than you. Now, wedding bells, they're ringing a little louder,

according to this article I'm reading, for Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and her fiancé, Clark Gayford. Now, they spoke to TV breakfast shows yesterday, and Jacinda says it's about time they proceeded with their wedding plans, but they haven't got anything locked in at the moment. How long have they been engaged? Two years this week. That's a long haul.

Yeah, in Gisborne they got engaged two years ago, but they haven't pinned down a date nor plans for the wedding, at least publicly. Everyone wants to know, don't they? Imagine the pressure that you get just when you're a normal person from friends and family, like from the engagement.

Okay, so you're engaged, it's like congratulations, but then also in the same 30 seconds, when are you getting married? True. Now they've got the pressure of an entire nation. Yeah, they go on news media, Breakfast TV,

and they get asked that every Monday. I can't wait to invade the privacy of their wedding as part of the New Zealand mainstream media. I'm going to be getting all up in there, sticking my beak in there. I'm going to be peering over fences and bushes, sending interns, jumping them into the wedding. It's going to be a great time. Just leave them alone. No, no, I don't want, it's not my job to leave them alone, Ben. It's my job to harass them.

It should be, it should be. Leave them alone, let them have their wedding. If they want to invite the nation, then they can. They can have it, tag it onto a press conference at 1pm or something. If they want to be left alone, then don't have a wedding. No, that's good. We should leave them alone. But we're not going to.

We swear. There'll be helicopters, there'll be all sorts of it. We should leave them alone. But we're not going to. We swear. There'll be helicopters. There'll be all sorts of it. We can. We can at least. Let the other people do that. If it was your wedding, would you want helicopters? I'd love helicopters at my wedding.

I'd be like, look, I've hit the big time. There's helicopters circling my wedding. You're probably one of the few that would actually want that. And this is a lovely story. Out of Auckland over the weekend. A boxer, a New Zealand boxing legend, David Tua, he helped out someone who was stuck on the side of the road

to help him change a tyre. So a lady and her son were waiting roadside after getting a flat tyre in Auckland. A few minutes later, a car did a U-turn, pulled up alongside them, and he helped them out with his wife. And they had no idea until later that it was Boxing Legend David Tua.

When did they realise it was Boxing Legend David Tua? I think they got names and stuff and they talked and they were like, oh, hey, we own a gym and she was like, oh, maybe I'll drop you in a bottle of wine to say thanks and they were like,

no, no, we don't need anything. We just wanted to do it for a bit of kindness and she was telling someone afterwards and they were like, oh, you know who that was? That was David Tua. David Tua, I see him because his gym's sort of near my place. He drives around.

I don't know if he's still got it. Last time I saw him, he's enormous. You know, he's a big boxer. Yeah, he was a boxer, heavyweight boxer, yeah. He drives around in a mini. Yeah, I think he's had one for years. Mini, like it's tiny. Yeah, it's pretty awesome, though, eh?

It's like LeBron James getting into a smart car. Yeah. I think he drives with his knees up LeBron James getting into a smart car. Yeah. I think he drives with his knees up by his ears. But what a lovely guy. Yeah, that's the thing. It's just a lovely thing. And obviously he didn't do it to be talked about on the radio. I would have.

I would have put some helicopters on my wedding, get me talked about on the radio. My old mate would have done it. But he did it just for a lovely thing to do, you know, to stop and to help someone out like that. Yeah, good. In fact, 0800 the hits, 4487. We'll do a snap text poll.

Has a celebrity ever helped you out in your time of need? And we'll even take it on the flip side. Have you helped out a celebrity in their time of need? Okay. Okay, 4487. This is a Hail Mary. I don't reckon we're going to get anything for this topic. I don't even know why I'm saying these words.

Yeah. But we'll chuck it out there. 4487. Has a celebrity helped you or have you helped a celebrity? Because we'll give them credit. Give them some air time on New Zealand's 14th highest breakfast show. Who slipped to 15 now?

Add these two men together and somehow you get three quarters worth of a normal man. The Hits with Jono and Ben for breakfast. Spy. No what's up? Spy.co.nz. She is a shell of her former self, still pulling herself together

from a catastrophic weekend of partying. But she's got just enough in the tank to do an episode of Spy for you right now. Here's Juliet. Absolutely. So two pregnancy announcements, one local and one international. The local one is news presenter Samantha Hayes is expecting her second child.

Due in the spring, she's already got a son called Marlo, but she announced on Instagram yesterday that her and her family, she's going to be a mother of two, which is very nice for her. Well, Marlo's a nice name, isn't it? It is a cool name, isn't it? It's quite trendy and trendy for a boy. Well, congratulations, Samantha Hayes. And then the international one.

But I still want that. It's Jason Derulo. He's expecting his first child with his model girlfriend, Gina. So they posted a cute little kind of TikTok-y like video on their Instagram announcing that strolling along a lovely beach somewhere. Classic Derulo. You'd have to announce it on TikTok,

wouldn't you? Yeah, that's kind of his thing. Well, as well as music now, it's his new thing. He's got millions and millions. I think 45 million of TikTok. Is he 45 million on there? It's huge. It's massive. He does these amazing cooking videos and dancing, obviously, and all sorts of special effects. Well, he's probably more of a social media superstar now than

recording artist Jason Derulo. I don't know. Savage Love was pretty massive. I'm sorry. Shut me down. Sorry, mate. Just having a bit of banter. We pretty much play it every day. That started, that kind of blew up from TikTok as well, that song. Yeah. So it's kind of a combination of both. Anyway, the

love wasn't so savage as it turned out. It was wonderful, there's a child on the way with his model girlfriend. Does he introduce her like that? Hello, meet my model girlfriend. No, I just had a wee stalk of her Instagram and was like, yep, she's definitely a model. She's a model girlfriend. Does he introduce her like that? Hello, meet my model girlfriend. No, I just had a wee stalk of her Instagram and was like, yep, she's definitely a model. Yeah, no, she's a model girlfriend. And now there's a rapper called Lil Nas X

that you'll know from this song. Can't nobody tell me nothing. Oh, yeah. Old Town Road. And he did it with Billy Ray Cyrus, didn't he? Yes, he did. Now, he has created what he's called Satan Shoes, which are modified Nike Air Max shoes that contain drops.

It's very, very bizarre. Contain drops of human blood in them, and he's selling them for $1,000. Now, everyone's slamming Nike, being like, why would you collaborate on a pair of shoes named that with a drop of human blood in them? But Nike have now confirmed that there was no involvement of them, that they had with the shoes,

that he has just gone and bought, he must have bought a bunch and just modified them himself that he's now selling. He's done his own collaboration with Nike that Nike don't know about. Yeah. Wonderful shoes for vampires. Yes. Blood shoes and practising Satanists as well. Yeah.

I mean, there's a market out there. Satanists have to wear shoes. I'm just wondering, what is it with all this, you know, the influx of human, like, body parts in things that people are wearing? Like, yesterday we were talking about Romeo Beckham has his fiancée's wisdom tooth on his, around his necklace. Yeah, Brooklyn Beckham and him and his wife, they sort of gold-plated their wisdom teeth. Yeah, Brooklyn Beckham and him and his wife they sort of gold plated their wisdom teeth.

Yeah, and then Megan Fox had a necklace of her partner's drop of blood as well as Angelina Jolie back in the day or something. It's very, very weird. Looking at the shoes, it's got the, you know, the Nike ear bits, so it's the ear padding underneath it they've put blood in. But I don't know how they've got the liquid in there.

Like if Nike haven't been involved then it wasn't during the production process. Oh, how did they do that? He's injected it somewhere. It's very clever. We should not be hating on him. If anything, applauding him. True.

For this fashion masterpiece of bloodied footwear. Well done, Lil Nas X. $1,000. Who knows if they're going to sell out. I mean, probably just because they're so weird. It's a bit like the Yeezy shoes. They're a bit weird looking, so they probably will sell out

knowing the current millennials and stuff. I mean, you go to Hamilton on a Saturday night, you can end up with blood on your shoes. Just standing in a bar. In the shoes. Yeah. In your shoes, okay. And that's a bit of a bizarre spy update for you.

For more, you can head into the hits.co.nz. Yeah, yeah, no. Yeah. Nah. Yeah, nah. The whole movie. Yeah, nah. She'll be right.

And at the end of the day. Jono and Ben. Breakfast on the hits. Wrapping up our show on a Tuesday. Been lots of fun hanging out with you guys over the last three hours. Yeah, it has been a lot of fun. And you need to join us back tomorrow for more fun and frivolity. 7.45.

We've got $5,000 more to give away with five words 5K. Ben, you bowed out on the first one today. Yeah, I hate it when that happens straight off the bat. So tomorrow, hopefully, we can turn things around. Yeah, we've had a couple of rough days. We'll regroup as a team, and tomorrow we'll approach it. One game of Five Words at a time. We'll catch you tomorrow from 6 o'clock.

Have a great day in New Zealand. We'll see you then. Want more Jono and Ben? You can wake up with the boys' weekdays from 6 on The Hits and via the iHeartRadio app. Jono and Ben on The Hits Breakfast. Friends of Skinny.
