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. We like to go around New Zealand. The A to Z of New Zealand. Yeah, we claim to be New Zealand's breakfast and we're like, well, there's no way we can do this, throw this claim out wildly without phoning every town and city in New Zealand. We do it alphabetically. We do one a day. We started at A, obviously, and it's going to take us,

we worked out about two and a half years to get around all the towns and places and cities in New Zealand. Yeah, I don't know when we're going to regret this, but at the moment it's still fun and new. Oh, you regret it now, do you? Day five, he regrets it. We're going alphabetically from the Wikipedia page. We went to Ahitehitehi, which is the northernmost part of Taranaki.

We phoned them on Wednesday. Can you name all 10 people? Yeah, I can name all 10 people. Okay, let's list all 10 people in Ahitehitehi. Oh, Tania, Raymond, Mavis, Morris, Mark, Alex, Grace, Liz, Tony, Seb, Ken, Joy and Gordon. You weren't lying. There's only 10 people in that town. That's what I love about small town New Zealand.

And then afterwards, she was like, hang on, no, Ken and Joy, they're... 100 metres up the road. Yeah, no, they're another town. They're not locals. I was reading an article that many New Zealand towns are just nameless. Oh, really? Yeah. They haven't bothered to name them.

What? Or they're not registered or something. Okay. So there we go. We're finding out a lot about New Zealand, and this is going to cripple NZ me in toll calls. We're just recklessly toll calling all over the country, and today we're heading to Akaaka.

Let's make a call. Hello, Emma speaking. Have we got hold to Aka Aka. Let's make a call. Hello, Emma speaking. Have we got hold of Aka Aka? Sorry? Have we got hold of Aka Aka? No, it's Emma. Do you live in Aka Aka? Okay.

Emma, it's Jono and Ben here from The Hits. Welcome to the A to Z of New Zealand. We are phoning every town and city in Aotearoa, and there's 570 of them, and you are day five. Oh, wow. In alphabetical order. Yeah, we're talking in alphabetical order, and also in places dear to our heart.

Tell us about it. What is it? Where is it? Why is it? It's a little town in between Waiuku and Pukekohe. It's got a school. That's about it. It's got a school and there's nothing else.

So how many people would you say roughly live in the community? In the community around it, community, in sort of the community around it, probably about 10,000 if you include Waiuku in the surrounds as well. Probably the one thing that the Aka Aka specifically is known for over a few years, the

school for their fundraising used to do a country boys toys, which is always pretty fun during the year. So you got to go and have a look at each of the machinery know, machinery and tractors and all sorts of bits and pieces. So that was pretty cool for the farm boys around the area. Okay, and a population of 81 people? Yep. And you don't know the exact numbers, but you've got to name them.

Yeah, no idea. So it was a swamp. It was a swampy marshland. You know what? It's just a lovely rural land. I just like it, mate. Is it lovely? What's your favourite thing to do in Aka Aka?

Look at the rural scenery. And drive past the school? Yep, drive past the school, yep. Drive past it again? Yep, and have a look at the nice new turf that they've got there. That's, yeah. Listen, to be honest, is Akaaka the hellhole of the world? Akaaka's tiny, and it's just a little sort of the side area of Waiuku.

So do you feel like we're giving it too much airtime on the radio? Yeah, probably, to be honest. Is Akaaka to Waiuku what New Zealand is to Australia? Ah. Pointless. No, no. Maybe a bit smaller. Okay, so Aka Aka is to Waiuku what Stewart Island is to New Zealand.

Yeah, we'll go with that, yeah. Not pointless, but part of New Zealand, mate. Yeah. Lovely people, though. Lovely people. Lovely people. Lovely farmland, lovely, splendid hall. Did I tell you about the splendid hall? Yeah, I know, but we Yeah. Lovely people, though. Lovely people. Lovely people. Lovely farmland, lovely, splendid hall.

Did I tell you about the splendid hall? Yeah, I know, but we'd still do fine without them. Oh, no. I don't think so. Would you do fine, would Waiuku do fine without Aka Aka? Oh, look,

I think they've got a fabulous school there and the principal... That's all you've spoken about is the school. I really feel like we've put you on the spot here. All they've got is the school and you keep banging on about the school. It's a great school. It's a great little country school. I really feel like we've put you on the spot here. All they've got is the school and you keep banging on about the school. It's a great school.

It's a great little country school. Lovely to talk to you. Stay safe in your bubble and I appreciate you passing on, not many facts, but a couple nonetheless. No worries at all. Tell you what we have learned from this, they've got a school. Great school. What a great school. Oh, great school. Small classroom,

small class sizes and fantastic pictures. Okay, thank you so much. Okay. That is today's A to Z of New Zealand. And on Monday, we're going to Akaroa. Akaroa, yeah, lovely little French town, isn't it? Just out of Christchurch. Yeah, we'll find out some more about that on Monday.

Bonjour, oui, oui. Baguette, French law. The soggy cornflakes of radio. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Scrolling through your feed. We like to just have a gander at stuff that's happened overnight just so you don't have to go onto your phone. Just saves your data.

We're thinking of you. That's right. And yesterday, a big announcement. What Level 2 will look like. When that will happen, we will find out on Monday. I'm already in Level 2. I feel like everyone's already started to transition into to happen. I'm already in level two. I feel like everyone's already started to transition into level two.

I'm on level zero already, but it's imagine if come Monday Jacinda and Ashley are like, nah, another month. I reckon the country would combust. Because level two seems like life is getting closer to what you'd consider normal,

but from a distance. Level two is going to be fire. It's going to be lit. So schools will go back. Gyms, bars and restaurants will go back. But you can only have table service at a restaurant, one server, and everyone's got to be seated separately. Things like that. I can imagine everyone abiding by those rules. Yeah, especially in a bar after a few drinks.

Can you go to nightclubs? No, I don't think nightclubs are open. I can't hit the clubs, okay. Maybe that'll have to wait. Producer Juliet, you haven't seen me roll straight in from the clubs. Wait till you see that. Wait till you see Club Jono. The same can be said for me.

I'm more likely that Producer Juliet's going to come straight from a club than John. I don't go to clubs. I go to the RSA club. Hairdressers and beauticians, barbers, they can open up but they have to be wearing masks, right?

Face masks. Yeah, which is... Not like a Shrek mask or something like that. Although that'd be funny. Comical horse mask. Yeah, yeah. Because you're hanging out

for a haircut. I know you are. I am, I am. Is that going to be the first thing you do? Yeah, I think it will be the first thing I do. That's the one thing

I'm really missing but then obviously, you know, that's on the lighter end of the scale. But you're going to have to, I reckon it will be the first thing I do. That's the one thing I'm like I'm really missing. But then obviously, you know, that's on the lighter end of the scale. But you're going to have to, I reckon you're going to have to book in. The barbers and the hair salons are just going to be the lines out the door. The hard thing for them, I imagine, is you don't know when they can actually open until

Monday. When Monday they're going to announce. The days like this, I praise the Lord for the alopecia that I was bestowed with. So we do find out on Monday what is happening. But in the meantime, we're going to stay where we are, level three. And yesterday. Super Rugby? Oh, yes.

That's going to start, right? Super Rugby. No crowds. Yeah. Finally, the Blues. The Blues are going to be like, finally, all you other rugby franchises can know what we've felt for the last both. This is what it's like, guys. We're used to this.

No one understands. Yeah. They'll be the best team on the park. They'll probably be number one seeds. This is what it's like, guys. We're used to this. No one understands. Yeah, they'll be the best team on the park. They'll probably be number one seeds. They know what it's like. But yesterday, 50 barbecues stolen

at Auckland by the 10 mega. Glass ones? No, no, no. The ones that you'd cook like sausages and, you know, risoles and, you know,

chops and stuff like that. A lot of mass thefts. We're just saying, like, there's all those 360 cars were stolen from a rental car yard. A lot of mass thefts. We're just saying, there's all those 360 cars were stolen from a rental car yard. I guess there's empty buildings at the moment and kind of not really patrolled that much.

It's a great time to steal stuff, I won't lie. The streets, and the police, the police aren't breath testing. It's a lawless society out there. Stop talking. They're not.

No. I'm sure if they pulled you over. No, they don't. Because if you blow, then there's a risk of spreading the disease. Oh, really? They haven't been breast testing.

Because when I went to Rarot... Mate, you should have seen me been swerving all over the road. Were you drinking with Subra? No. When I went to Rarotography a few years ago, they had an odyssey system.

Oh, breast testing. Yeah, so it was like... Hopefully it's changed now. And the guy I was driving with, he was a local and he hadn't been drinking, but they were like, have you been drinking? He's like, no. They're like, all right, carry on. Your words are all we need.

Well, we're on a tongue, right? Very trusting society. They've been in these lockdown laws for years. But anyway, so if a cheap barbecue goes on Trade Me, you'll know where it's come from. 50? How do you even get rid of, like, how do you take the barbecues? It wouldn't have taken you all night to steal them.

Remember to double pump the virgals. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Next week, we're going to be trying to break a world record. The longest ever Zoom meeting call. Next Wednesday, we start at 8 o'clock, and we don't know when we're going to stop. Gee, I'll tell you what. You put a message out to someone that you knew in the UK, Ben, then they put it on Kiwis in the UK Facebook page

and 120 people came back saying they want to Zoom in. Immediately, yeah, because through the night we're a little bit worried that who's going to keep us company on Zoom. Those bleak, bleak hours. But we've got people from Russia, Argentina in the UK, Germany, someone from

Antarctica may be joining us as well. Yeah, Scott Bass, right? Yeah, so this is pretty exciting. So next week, if you want to get involved, you can head to our social media and say, hey, yep, I'll tag in and talk to you guys. I don't know what state we'll be in, you know, in the middle of the night.

Probably quite an abusive one. I get quite abusive at three. You're quite abusive at the best of times. Yeah, yeah, now the boss of me. We've done these sort of things before. It's like you've had a few drinks without drinking. Yeah. And you don't remember part of it.

You completely forget everything that's happened, don't you? Yeah. Which is good for everyone involved. Sleep deprivation. So that's happening next Wednesday. The world's longest Zoom meeting. Pineapple or pizza, awesome. The French TV show, they're overrated.

I don't really like chocolate. Controversial call-outs This is where Jono and I both say something that some people might deem as controversial and we'll see if anyone will agree with us on our phone number 0800 the hits you can get hold of us anytime or text us 4487. Yeah, Ben I started yesterday so you can go. Okay, I'm gonna

say something. I like the YouTube ads I like the ads that pop up on YouTube. Everyone always goes, oh, good ad blocker. You can stop those ads. No, I like them. Because I don't watch a lot of 3D TV these days. You know, like you end up watching Netflix or Disney+. I don't see a lot of ads, so I really enjoy watching the ads.

It's only usually one, and I don't need to skip. Do you not skip them? No, I like to watch. I like to watch the whole ad. The whole ad. They're normally a good ad. So I enjoy the YouTube ads. What's your favourite?

I'm quite getting into the ones where... Like Grammarly? Grammarly's got the Masterclass, you know, when all the other... Oh, yeah. They're talking about this. I clicked on Masterclass because I got so clickbaited.

Yeah, yeah. It's like 600 bucks a year or something. Oh, is it? Yeah, I was like, oh, this looks really interesting because they've got people like Oprah and Steph Curry and just... Steve Martin comedian, Penn & Teller magicians. And they give a class on, you know, how they've got...

I think one of the founders of Apple, he's on there as well. I was like, I could get inspired by Steve Wozniacki. But no, no, it's way too expensive. Get inspired for a cheaper price. So if you like the YouTube ads, I don't know if anyone does like ads on YouTube, but I do. And I'm going to throw it out there. I'm Ben Boyce

and I like ads on YouTube. So you've never skipped after five seconds? I wouldn't say never skipped. But I thought you just said you loved the ads. I've enjoyed those five seconds up to that point. They've been the best five seconds of my life. I appreciate the ads there and I don't want to get ad blocker. Okay, well here's my controversial opinion. I think we should legalise euthanasia.

No, David Seymour. We're not doing that one. No, we're not doing that one. Think of David Seymour. Geez, he needs a haircut. Seymour. Is he the ACT Party leader? Yeah.

The only man in the ACT Party. Yeah. Wow, has he let himself go? It actually looks quite good, but you're just so used to seeing him with a very short haircut. Short back and sides, yeah. No, my controversial opinion, and if you agree with it, oh, 800, the hits of the telephone number, dogs

are overrated. No. I'm not saying I don't like them. I'm just saying they're overrated. You're a dog. I like dogs, don't get me wrong, but why are they overrated? They can bring you so much companionship, so much joy, you know? I can put this in a human sentiment.

If you had to follow me around and I was, like, slobbering all over your children, if I came to your house and I slobbered all over your children, I probably unloaded my excrement on your front lawn. Your dogs can get away with a lot, eh? Dogs get away with a lot. Would you accept that? Not from you.

Exactly. Is there anyone, is there any human being on this earth you'd follow around with a blue plastic bag over your hand and pick up the droppings? The rock, Dwayne Johnson. You'd pick up Dwayne Johnson's droppings. And if I came over and I sat on your lap and sniffed your

crotch. Yeah, you're right. Dogs get away with a lot, but they're dogs. They're overrated. They're dogs. They smell. It's a whole lot of admin, but I'm not saying I don't like them. No, they're great.

And people will be saying at the moment we're living our lives a lot like dogs, like confined to a property all day and we get really excited on car trips or to walk around the block. We are pretty much living the life of a dog. So 0800, the hits is a telephone number. Do you like ads on YouTube or do you think dogs are overrated?

We used to work with Sharon on the Edge. She paid $7,000. Doggers. Dog dollars. Which are a lot more than human dollars. Seven times more, right? That's why the vet bills are so high. She paid that for a full private part reconstruction.

Yes. Seven grand. Yeah, because she loves her dog so much. I love my dog. I love my dog. Listen, no one is calling. Too controversial. Too controversial.

Too controversial. It's a win. It's the first time. We haven't had a call in 0800. Although someone's texted saying they agree with my thoughts on euthanasia. Thanks, David Seymour. We've got an opinion there. Serving bowls of lolls for breakfast.

Actual lolls may not be served. It's Jono and Ben on the heads. Donald Trump's valet has just been tested positive for coronavirus. Uh-oh. So very, you know, you don't wish that upon anyone, obviously, and very close to Donald Trump. So very scary times in the States. Oh, no, mate, Trump's been really putting himself in harm's way. He went to a mask

factory yesterday and didn't refuse to wear any masks. Look at a big barrel full of masks. Hundreds of, oh yeah, how do these work? A guy showed them and they still didn't put one on. What are these things? In some parts of America it's illegal not to wear a mask. You would have thought at some stage you would have put a mask on.

Yeah, I mean he's gone through the stages hasn't he through this whole COVID thing of not believing it and then blaming the World Health Organization for it. And now he's gone back to not believing it. Yeah. There was also a lady in America the other day I saw who she cut a hole in the front of it. She was wearing a mask, but she cut a hole in the front of it.

And the guy's like, why have you done that? And she's like, oh, it's hard to breathe with this thing on. But her mouth was visible for the whole, you know. So really the point of it was like, well, you've kind of missed the point, but I guess you can breathe better, so that's great. Oh, what's that? Oh, no.

Shut up. Now what? Oh, it's Jono and Ben's rude awakening. We are up in the morning and we want other people to be up as well. Seems unfair. It does seem unfair.

The more we do this segment, the more I go, oh. Other people didn't sign this contract, mate. No. We give them a chance to win something to make them feel a little bit better. And someone else nominates the person they want to wake up to put them on the spot, live on the radio in a radio quiz. Trust us, as soon as we think of a better idea for this time slot, we'll try and put it in. But at the moment, this is all we've got. and you're going to have to live through the pain.

Hayden, welcome. How you doing? You're dairy farming this morning. What time do dairy farmers get up? Oh, it's up at 5.30. Ooh, jabbing crispy in winter too, eh? Oh, yeah. You sound like a guy who would just wear shorts all year round. Is that right, Hayden? Yep, you're dead right.

Yep, stubbies and gummies all year round. Is that right, Hayden? Yep, you're dead right. Yep, stubbies and gummies all year round. Unnecessarily so as well. You know, you've heard of pants, but you refuse to wear them anyway. Now, do you realise I once washed my hands in a cow's urine? Oh, this is Jotto. This is peak Jotto Pryor showman. So we're on TV, we're filming something,

and you were just, you know, doing your thing. We were milking a cow. We were milking a cow, we were doing that, and then you just, you know, doing your thing. We were milking a cow. Milking a cow, we were doing that, and then you're like, I better clean my hands because I'm a bit dirty, and the cow was... Urinating. Yeah, and you're like, I was like, watch you, and I was just like, what are you doing? And you put your hands under, this is before COVID, obviously, you know, before you're a bit more sensible. Stuff like that starts a pandemic, doesn't it, Hayden?

Yeah. It does. It does. Have you had any funny comical accidents with the cows? Oh, yeah, look, a few, but nothing comes to mind right now. All right, well, who are we going to call this morning? Karen. This is your wife, Karen.

She's on the farm as well, I'm gathering. You live together? Yes. And she has no reason to be up. No, she doesn't. No. She's probably, what, a 7.38 o'clocker? Get a solid eight or nine hours in.

Probably 10 or 12, yeah. Oh, yeah, not this morning. Hello? Oh, Karen. Yeah. Karen, how are you, mate? Good. It's John O'Penn calling from the Hits radio station.

I'm so sorry we called you so early. No, he's not. He's not sorry. I am sorry. We've planned this. This is the segment. Oh, my God. You're on the radio. I'm on air we called you so early. No, he's not. He's not sorry. I am sorry. We've planned this. This is the segment. You're on the radio. You're on air, Karen. Welcome to the day.

It's a beautiful day outside, Karen. You're in the middle of a radio quiz. You can win some hell pizza. Here is your first question. Are you ready, Karen? Oh, crikey. Not nearly, but... It's all ghosts. Your husband Hayden's on the phone as well. There's a lot to take in. Oh, no. You're kidding me. Hayden's nominated you for the radio quiz.'s a lot to take in. Oh, no, you're kidding me.

Hayden's nominated you for the radio quiz. You can win some Hell pizzas just for simple questions. Can I win without answering questions? Can I win without answering? You know what? Yes, you can. Yes, you can. Well done. $40 Hell pizzas, all yours.

What the easiest game show ever. I can't be bothered answering the questions. Can we just cut to the chase and give you the prize? Even though you've just woken up and you've basically tricked us into giving you the prize. I know, I know, but that's brilliant. I'm wide awake now. That is awesome.

What do you want to say to Hayden? Oh, look. Oh, gosh, it's so early. Thanks, big guy. Why did he choose me? I don't know. But he's not saying anything, making us look like horrible people, like we've just called you at random.

Hayden, please come in. Hi. Good morning. Did he choose me because I'm a good wife? Yeah. Oh, the stuff he was saying about you. Yes. Wife of the year, I think he even said as well.

He was going to nominate you for the International Wife Awards. The wifeys. The wifeys, yeah, that's what he said. Oh, no. You enjoy that hell pizza. You enjoy your day, Karen and Hayden. Thank you so much for listening, mate.

Oh, man, that is awesome. Thank you so much. Cheers, guys. See ya. Eggs for breakfast. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Spy. No what's up.

Spy.co.nz. Producer Juliet joins us for Spy Entertainment News. What's going on? So Pitbull has released a song in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. This is what we needed. I know, right? And I roll my eyes at him. He entertains me in ways just no other celebrity can.

Is he self-aware? I don't know. I don't think he is. He's just always having the best time of his life. There was a competition in the States a few years ago, and it was basically whoever got the most votes at Walmart could get a private concert for their town, for Pitbull. And everyone just voted for Alaska, so they could send in.

He did. He went to Alaska and did a concert. So basically he sent him to Alaska. But he had the time of his life. He probably did. He looks like he's having a great time. But this is the song. It's basically that on repeat.

So have they invented a vaccine to cure us from hearing that ever again? One of my favourite Pitbull moments was when he teamed up with Kasia and he had that song. What was that song? Timber. Timber. So you had pitbull and Kasia, but I love the fact that their schedules obviously didn't align that they could ever be in the same shot at the same time.

How busy are pitbull and Kasia? Did they not record that in the same like... I don't know, but the video, they're all in different parts. Pitbull's on like... It was a weird theme. He's on a deserted island with his shirt open and she's in cowboy boots in a barn.

It's like the theme just... The music video. I don't know if that was the director's vision for it, but that's what he ended up with. It's like they filmed it in isolation in lockdown. They went, oh, I thought we were going to do it with a... Oh, you were doing... Oh, that doesn't quite work,

but we'll put it together. He's Mr. Worldwide, so he's never in the same place at the same time. That's right. Mr. Worldwide. And Victoria Beckham, she's been slammed online for making her daughter Harper wear uniform during homeschooling. So they're in their little... Child abuse. She just posted a photo of them reading on the couch together.

And she was in her uniform. And she's posted some other stuff. People are just saying it's not necessary. But I don't know. It's kind of a bit. Maybe, do we ask Harper? Maybe she wanted, you know, some kid's wife. Maybe she did, or maybe your mum told her to do it.

That would be different, but maybe the kid wanted to. A friend of ours used to work on a mountain overseas, like a snow mountain, a ski field, I think they're called. The popular name. Come skiing on my snow mountain. And David Beckham was up there with Brooklyn and Brooklyn had an accident and broke his leg. That's right. And

our friend went up to sort of help them down, to take them down from the mountain and David Beckham called Victoria Beckham on speakerphone to tell her what had happened and Golden Balls was getting both barrels from Victoria. He was getting a telling off.

He was getting a telling. And our friend was driving back going, I'm listening to David Beckham getting a scolding from his wife on speakerphone. Why didn't Golden Balls take it off speakerphone and have that awkward, yep, yep, yep, conversation.

No, no, she's good. Victoria had hung up, but he's still pretending. He's like, yeah, no, no, I'll get that for dinner. Yeah, yeah, it'll be great. That is so interesting. Isn't it great to know that they're just like us? I know. For more SPAR, you can head to thehits.co.nz

Another Xbox One S console and a 24-month Game Pass subscription. 8 o'clock today. Don't forget, head to our Facebook page right now,

The Hits Breakfast with Jono and Ben, and you could win one as well. So much almost swearing there. I really appreciated it. I know. Jono's a good person. Just like a chocolate milkshake, only white and disappointing. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. We're looking for some big news.

Malltown. And we're heading to, I researched this, the most fertile region in New Zealand. Now, I haven't deciphered whether it's the land or the people. I'd better do some digging into that. But Nelson. Nelson region from the Nelson Mail where there has been some tabooly going on in the people. Better do some digging into that. But Nelson, Nelson region from the Nelson Mail, where there has been some tabooly going on in the CBD. And I don't mean the filler content you get in a kebab at three o'clock in the morning.

Yeah, they're not happy. The shops in the CBD not happy about the footpath was going to be winded. Yeah, proposed widening of the footpath. It was causing a lot of kerfuffle. It's going to be a shambles. It'll be so much work. It'll stop people coming to the shops and that.

So now they've said, hey, we're just going to keep it the same size. Yeah, they've backed out. The council's backed out. We're going to go through to Nelson now and see what the street talk is. Good morning, Trouble and Fox. We're speaking of chairs. Oh, there's Trouble and Strife at Trouble and Fox. Jono and Ben here from the big news.

Hi. From the Hits radio station. I guarantee you listen to that every morning, don't you? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Send that with confidence. Your voice went, yeah. So, yeah, so it's Jono and Ben calling.

We just heard about the big news in Nelson. They're not going to widen the footpath. Are they not? No. No. Is this news to you? Yeah, it is news to me. I did read that they were widening it.

Yeah, well, they're not widening it. They had a meeting yesterday and they're like, nah, can't be bothered. Yeah, that's a good thing though. I think it was going to cause disruption to the shops for too long. Yeah. I feel like I'm telling you this story and you're working, Nelson. Yeah. Honestly, I haven't really been watching the news lately.

Did you know we've had a worldwide pandemic? Yes, yes, I did know that one. Oh, you got that news. I don't blame you, though, because the news at the moment, it's quite a tough watch. There's not a lot of fun stuff going on there, is there? No, I watched it for like the first wee while, and then I was like, I'm going to turn out of this now. You're like, there's not enough footpath coverage here for me. No, I just didn't want to learn how to parallel park, to be honest.

Oh, was that your main thing? Yeah. Oh, yeah, that would have been tough. Oh, especially with people watching, like if it's a cafe or something and you've got a parallel park, I hear you. I hear you. No, I don't have time for that. What, you don't have time to learn how to parallel park?

No. Surely it's a basic function of driving. Oh, it's stressful. I'm with you on this one. John, it's stressful. But I do hear that the speed limit, here's something you may not have heard, the speed limit's going to go to 30 k's

around the central city of Nelson. No, I actually did hear about that one. All right. That seems incredibly slow. It's quite slow. Yeah. You could almost get out of your car and just push it along the road.

Yeah, but I think in Richmond, it's like 20 or 30k down the main street. All right. Richmond's a slow place anyway, though, isn't it? Yeah. How's the sunshine been in Nelson recently? Because Nelson's always banging on about how sunny it is. Yeah, it's mediocre. I feel like it was beautiful this morning, but it's like super cold.

Well, I tell you what, the sun is going to shine over you today with this great footpath news that no longer will you have wide footpaths. You'll stick with those small skinny ones you're used to and having to bump into other pedestrians you won't have the space or the freedom to avoid them. And the best thing is you don't

have to learn how to parallel park. Yes for sure. Hey lovely talking to you. You stay safe and Nelson. Awesome thank you for sure. Lovely talking to you. You stay safe, Nelson. Awesome, thank you. See you, buddy. See you, buddy. Hey, you've got toothpaste on the side of your mouth. It's Jono and Ben on my heads. Next Wednesday, it could be the last

day. It could be the last day we're in Level 3 and so we're going to do something to try and entertain the nation and probably have our last ever Zoom video call. That's right, because this has been the big winner of COVID. Apart from the pandemic, though,

it's had a few wins, hasn't it, for its team. And we wanted to have one last big one and Ben came up with the idea of doing the world's longest Zoom meeting. I was like,

why don't we try the world's shortest Zoom meeting and get it over and done with within a few seconds. No, but we're starting at eight o'clock next Wednesday at our Zoomathon. You can join in as well

and we're just going to keep Zooming, tagging in people one by one on Zoom, or multiple people. Multiple people. I can't even say the word multiple people. So far, we've got some pretty cool people that are keen to jump on board.

All blacks, politicians like Simon Bridges, musicians like Mitch James, Chris Mack from 660, actors like Carl Urban, Zoe Bell. Art Green's going to do a virtual ice bath it's been a great way to get famous people's email addresses hasn't it

it's great for our database it is we're setting up a business where we're going to spam people about weight loss products that don't actually work and I was worried about

during the night because obviously we're going to try and keep going for like at least 24 hours but there's people wanting to jump in

from Russia Germany Argentina UK Canada America so it's going to be a lot of fun it's going to be the United Nations of radio isn't it 24 hours. But there's people wanting to jump in from Russia, Germany, Argentina, UK, Canada, America. So it's going to be a lot of fun. It's going to be the United Nations of radio, isn't it? That's happening next week. It's going to be a simulcast on Facebook and of course bits all over the radio

next week from Wednesday. That's Jono and Ben's world record Zoom call, our Zoomathon. Hit the music producer, Juju. OK Zoomer. Zoom, Zoom, Zoomer. And leading into the Zoom meeting, the world's longest Zoom meeting, we're doing a game called OK Zoomer, where we get the older generation to try and Zoom us,

to try and figure out how it works. Yesterday, Ben, we had your mum Jenny with an I on the phone. She spells Jenny with an I, yeah. On the phone. And we were like, OK, we're going to start the clock and time you to see how long it can take for you to connect up to Zoom. Okay, so the timer starts as soon as you open the link.

Have you opened it, Jenny? No, no. Hang on, I'm just trying to get my tablet thing to wake up. Oh, you haven't even turned it on. First step, can you turn on the tablet? I listen to it early in the morning. So I think she might have done the older generation an injustice. I don't think everyone over the age of 50 wouldn't know how to operate a Zoom.

Now, we want redemption. Yeah, we do. She's up 30 minutes. So if 0800 the hats is our phone number. Yeah. We'll do OKZoomer. You call us up and you can redeem the boomer generation.

We'll get your email Addy off air and we'll send you the link and we'll start the timer to see how long it takes you to connect up to Zoom. This is make or break for the boomers, isn't it?

I mean, a lot of pressure on your shoulders when someone phoning through. Colin, is it Colin? Yep. Colin, how are you, mate? Very good.

Just trying to get some clothes on here. Okay, it's radio. It's fine. We'll take you either way, Colin. Describe how you are dressed at the moment, Colin. Pants just coming up past the knees. T-shirts just over the head. Yeah, we're half decent now.

Now, Colin, you want to have a win for the Boomers right now and see if you can play our game. Sure. Sure, sure. So you entered a radio competition while getting dressed? Wow. Jeez, this guy can multitask.

Okay, off here, we've got your email address, Colin. Producer Juliet's going to send you a link for the Zoom meeting invite. You've sent that, Jude? Okay. The timer starts now, Colin. How long is it going to send you a link for the Zoom meeting invite. You've sent that, Drew? Okay. The timer starts now, Colin. How long is it going to take Colin to join up to our Zoom meeting?

It only took him three seconds to get dressed. I know. I'm backing Colin. He's got 60 seconds. I've just gone into the link. Yep. Talk us through it. Open Zoom meeting.

Yep. Launching. Yep. He's doing well. He sounds confident. Yep. Launching. Yep. He's going well. He sounds confident. Yeah. Join meeting. Don't forget to turn the audio on and the camera too, Colin.

I've got the camera going. Just looking to check the audio. Can you guys hear me? No. Is he connected, Juliet? He hasn't come through yet. He hasn't come through yet. The time is running out, Colin.

OK, Zumba. Come on, Colin. You can do this, Colin. It sounds good. I'm testing computer. Oh, I think he might be coming through now. Has he made it? It's spinning.

Hey, he's good. Good. Colin's there. I can see Colin. He's in it. The thumbs up from Colin. Well done, Colin. Yeah, got it.

Don't say us old people are no good. There we go. Record time. Yeah, got it. Don't say us old people are no good. There we go. Record time for OKZoom. 48 seconds. Well done, Colin. We've got a Reading Cinemas giveaway, so you can go to the movies when it's up and open again, all right? Thank you very much.

Well done, Colin. Love your work, Colin. I love you fully dressed, and I love your Zoom skills. Well done. You have a great weekend. New Zealand's breakfast. Just don't eat them. They're chewy.

What's the ratio, Producer Juliet? I don't know. I don't look either. Yeah. I did see one the other day, actually. It was like, congratulations. I was like, oh, that's cool. It's amazing how you guys can suck on multiple platforms.

I thought that's... But it lured me in with a congratulations. And I was like, oh, it's amazing. But that is media nowadays. You can spread your suckness over multiple platforms. You don't want to suck just on one. No. You want to do it on multiple things.

I want to suck on Twitter. I want to suck on Instagram. I want to suck on Instagram. I want to suck on the radio. Yeah. Suck on TV. I really appreciated that. So I enjoy it. Good feedback, bad feedback.

We enjoy it. Love sucking. All right. So what we want to do is, because this Friday probably marks the end of the first full week of work for I think at least 85% of the workforce. And it's a good day.

Isn't it? It is a good day. It's a good day. Producer Juliet, isn't it? Yeah, it's a good day, isn't it? It is a good day. It's a good day. Producer Juliet, isn't it? Yeah, it's a great day. Do we have music? Yeah, we talked about that. Is that it?

It's going to be a good day. What we want you to do is text 4487 right now. You can reach us on the hits, 4487. Why is it going to be a good day? Big, small, little wins, big wins. I'm going to say it's a good day because it's another day that I haven't paid for parking on the street. That's how I know it's a good day. I think it's a good day because I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

Morning. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. The country's feeling pretty good. You know, things may get back to normal in the next couple of weeks. As normal as it can be. Level 2, what it will look like was announced yesterday and it's close to normality at a distance, but it's getting close.

Yeah, and we want to celebrate why today, Friday is going to be a good day. That's right. You can just text 34487 and there's a whole bunch flowing in here. It's a good day because it's Friday and as an essential worker, every Friday has been awesome from Dino.

It's a great day Friday because I'm getting closer to level two to get into Kata Rotorua to see my cousin bring on L2, as they say on the gram. I like L2. Yeah, it's going to be a great day because I get to scratch my golf itch.

I don't know if you need to go to the doctor for that or... Can you play golf? I think you can. I think, yeah, you're allowed to because it's a sport that is kind of, you know...

You can play golf now. There's a lot of social... I think so. Oh, that's great. A lot of social distancing obviously when golf, especially when I'm playing. I'm on the trees over there.

I'm over there, that side, I'm back that way. I'm just like, every time I'm out there, I'm like, what is the point of this? I bet you hit one good shot

and you're like, oh, I love this sport. Then you're like, the next 10 minutes out there, I'm like, what is the point of this? I bet you hit one good shot and you're like, oh, I love the sport. Then you're like, the next 10 minutes is terrible. But yeah, keep these coming through 4, 4, 8, 7. It has been, you know, it's been five weeks, has it? Five or six weeks? I think it's been a long time. Everyone's been in lockdown.

Some people have used that time wisely. Other people have just, you know. They have used it to slowly erode their livers. Yeah. Yeah, I've been on the latter. And we're not here to judge you right now, but we wanted to open up the phone lines and say, hey, maybe you have used your time for good use.

Maybe you haven't. We just want to know what you've done, the talent line. Yeah, have you developed a new talent during lockdown, like a talent for drinking and teaching your kids at the same time? That's a good talent. That's great. A talent for making alcohol just disappear before midday? A friend of mine has developed a talent for washing.

She's like, I've got so into washing now, and I've got so much time. One day I'll colour code it when I put them out on the line. All the reds go here, all the greens go over here. The next day I'll put up my family member. And then she was like, what am I doing? Why am I spending so much time hanging out the washing? Jacinda, this is why we need to go to level two.

People are colour coding their washing. But all-black Angus Toavel, he has actually been learning the ukulele and he played a little bit for us the other day. So we spoke to him a week ago and I was like, oh, he's really making good use of his lockdown time. And I was like, I need to do that. And for years I've had this recorder in my drawer. One of the most popular instruments around.

Oh, yeah. No one's ever not loved a recorder. And I was like, I'm going to teach myself the recorder. I bet you haven't learned anything. You've just brought it in here to play this obnoxiously on the radio. I learned Careless Whisper by George Michael You're not better at all No, that's awful

You're just playing noise across the... Okay, so if you've actually learned a talent I'm sorry, New Zealand Can we turn this mic off? Yeah, it's off It's my saliva pipe So much saliva ends up in these talent. I'm sorry, New Zealand. Can we turn this mic off? Yeah, it's off. It's my saliva pipe. So much saliva ends up in these. Remember you used to share one around like a class of 30 kids?

Oh, that won't be happening anymore. Clues with the good old days. Kids can't even stand next to each other. 0800 the hits, 4487. Tell us what talents you might have learnt during lockdown. We're feeling good because it's Friday and feeling good because there's a chance we might head to level two at some stage next week. Fingers crossed.

If you want to text us at any stage, 4487 while you're having a good day, we'll get those texts on the air. Have you become a better person over the five weeks? Have you taught yourself a new talent, a new skill, a new trick? Have you learned to speak fluent Russian so you can deal with the mafia

for your international syndicates? I don't know. That's just a hypothetical situation. I find that I've been spending a lot of time watching that Michael Jordan documentary on Netflix mafia for your international syndicates. I don't know. That's just a hypothetical situation. I find that my, I've been spending a lot of time watching that Michael Jordan documentary on Netflix and I find like just punishing people. I just did it to you. Five minutes just talked about it.

Nineties basketball. Yeah. I mean, you and me get lost in nineties basketball and producer Julie is like, shut up. You old man. You do realize that you did just zone out for the last 10 seconds. Oh yeah.

So anyways, they went to the Olympics and then they didn't like Isaiah Thomas, and you're like looking at me like, what, I don't care about any of this. But that's what I've swatted up on. She's like, talk to me about Charlie DeMello. I don't even really care about her either.

Do you care about her? The Royals. So yes, the 10 second talent line, what talent have you learnt during lockdown? 0800, the hits is the telephone number. 0800 843 4487. Let's head to Caitlin. Welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast, Caitlin.

Nothing but positive stuff. Beautiful, beautiful language. Was it a nice compliment or was it something else? It was nice. I love listening to Jono and Ben. Oh, Caitlin. Thank you very much. I don't even know if she said that or not.

It's probably the opposite. Our German audience are laughing in their lederhäusens. That happened to my dad. He went, when he was doing his OE when he was young, he went to Spain and he got taught a song. And it was basically swearing to say that he was basically saying, I am a... Have small manhood, wasn't it?

Yeah. And my dad had been playing it for years, going around, going, I learnt the Spanish song. And someone came up to him once and goes, you know what you're singing about? And he was like, yeah, it's this. And he got, no, no, like yeah it's this and he goes no no no

Yeah, that's great. I mean, out of all the things you could have perfected over lockdown, perfecting your Adele accent is up there. That's the top of the list. Have you watched her carpool karaoke with James Corden? It's just the most mesmerizing thing. I can sing like that and talk like that. Can we hear it?

Yeah, yeah. All right. All right, mate, can't wait for level two and I'll hit the pub and get a Guinness with me, mate. Is this Adele? Wow.

We're just trying from 8 o'clock in the morning to go on Zoom and just to keep Zooming. Yeah, have the world's longest Zoom meeting. We should try and get someone on from Zoom to see what the capabilities are of Zoom.

Because it might not even be, I don't know, how long can it go for? Someone's saying you can run polls. I don't even know you can run polls on Zoom. So these are things we can ask them. Let's get the boss of Zoom on. I looked into the boss of Zoom, Eric's his name. He's made $4 billion in

2020. Really? He's worth nine, Bill. So $4 billion. Wow. We'll try and get someone on next week from Zoom, but to celebrate our Zoomathon, which starts next Wednesday morning, hopefully the last Zoom meeting before we drop to level two. Do you reckon, like, all seriousness,

do you want to try and go through the night to the next day? Do you reckon we can get that far? In all seriousness, no. Like, can we get to even midnight that night if we go to level two? Well, because, yeah, if level two's 11.59, if we made that, I would be happy

and then I could go to bed. But you're the type of guy who'll want to push on through that and you'll make me stay for days and I'll see my family and I'll have a I'll look like Tom Hanks on that movie in Castaway. Walking around in a loincloth, talking to myself

with a beard. But we are celebrating our Zoomathon, our world record attempt. It's happening next Wednesday. It's the world record no one saw coming. And more importantly, no one wanted. This Wednesday, Jono and Ben, that's us us will attempt the world's longest zoom meeting we want you in our room talk the night together that may last forever

and I know what you're thinking all zoom meetings feel like the world's longest zoom meeting well actually this is the world's longest and to celebrate we've collated a shoddy collection of tenuous Zoom themed songs. There's been one winner out of lockdown and it hasn't been our livers. It's been the video calling facility Zoom.

There will be meetings about meetings, meetings about meat, meetings with celebs, and meeting celebs with meat. It's gonna be Zoomtastic. They call me Mr Zoomtastic, Zooming fanatic, won't be getting any sleep, that's how we roll.

So let us send you the Zoom meeting invite. Join Jono and Ben for the Zoomathon, the world's longest Zoom meeting. How long it lasts, nobody knows. Zoom! Zoom! Zoom! This Wednesday on The Hits. Zoom, Zoom, Zoom. Gotta get

gifts. Zoom, Zoom, Zoom. Gotta get gifts. Zoom, Zoom, Zoom. That is happening next Wednesday. You can join us in just a few days time. The world record attempt from 8 o'clock. Like starting your day without your morning coffee. It's Jono and Ben on my heads. Next Wednesday we won't be feeling that good because we're about to embark on the world's longest

Zoom video call from 8 o'clock. We're going to just keep going. Just keep Zooming. You can join us. Celebrities can join us and we'll see how long we can last. And actually joining us on Zoom right now Dr Michelle Dickinson. All you'll know her as Nano Girl. How's it going?

Good morning, boys. How are you? We're doing really well. Great to have you on again. Now, I've had a bit of a bout of paranoia over the week. I read an article. I got into a deep, deep hole on the internet, Nano Girl, about gloves. And I've started wearing gloves again and I look like a complete lunatic.

People are starting to bring it up, and it's becoming a thing. Well, you've been in the office, so I guess people bring it up. When you're out and about, I'm sure lots of other people are wearing gloves. Are gloves useful? Are they pointless?

Your thoughts and opinions. Hey, look, woolly gloves are useful in the winter for keeping your hands warm. However, gloves worn for COVID are not actually that useful to most people if you don't know how to take them on and take them off properly which most people don't i've been doing it with my teeth is that the right thing and most people when they take off surgical gloves they try and put their thumb underneath and pull them off and that's the worst thing you can do because you've

just taken the virus that would have been on your thumb and put it onto your palm of your hand so if you want to take your gloves off properly, you have to pinch them from the palm and then pull them off that way. Oh, pinch it from the palm. What's your personal opinion? Are you better off just washing hands and sanitizing than wearing gloves? Wash your hands for sure and then just be aware of what you're touching. The most important thing is not touching your face.

And, you know, we do it between 10 and 20 times an hour. So that's the big one you have to do. So what you need is a big dog collar, basically, instead of gloves. Someone says don't touch your face. All you want to do is touch your face. Now, Nagu, a couple of days this week with zero cases. From a scientific point of view, how much of a good idea is it we drop to level two? Hey, look, this is great news that we've got zero cases for two days. We've got to remember that there's a lag in the data. So the data we're seeing now has come from two weeks ago. And so because it takes about two weeks to incubate the virus. So the fact that there's zero cases now is because we did really well in lockdown. The challenge we've got is we won't see what's happening in level three until

two weeks from now. And so the data is really great because it says we did a good job at level four. Now we've got to wait a couple of weeks to see how we're doing at level three, and then we'll know whether we're ready for level two. Wow. I see. So even making a call on Monday is a bit earlier than maybe you should

because the evidence still hasn't come through. Yeah, so the evidence, you know, it takes between three and 14 days for the virus to incubate, meaning the things that we're doing now won't be seen in tests until at least a week from now, but up to two weeks. Now, Nana Girl, you do a lot of great stuff with kids, of course, online with your science platform. I got my kids to ask a couple of questions they wanted to know about coronavirus. Can you answer these now? Here's the first question from Indy. What happens to the coronavirus and if it disappears, will it disappear like daddy's Corona beer? A bit of alcohol shaming there from my kid.

But what happens when it does disappear? If we had no cases, is it just gone? Yeah, so we saw this with SARS. So SARS is a coronavirus that we had, you know, 10 years ago. And if we all keep washing our hands, viruses only survive if we allow them to be hosted in our bodies and then we transfer them to another body the second we stop that the virus can't exist anymore is it still in animals though you know because if it came from a bat or something like that is it still there it has potential to come from about again yeah good question so good question coronavirus is a family of viruses this one that we we've got, COVID-19, is one of those forms. There are several that have gone from animals to humans, including SARS and MERS. It is definitely possible that this could happen again. Probably not the same virus, but maybe a similar virus that mutates,

which is why we've also got to stop some of the behaviours that we're doing around keeping live animals close to each other, where this can happen a lot. We're seeing it with the way that we farm right now where we're keeping lots of different animals together in very close proximity. The risk for this has always been high. Now, Nana Girl, I've got one last question for you. Another cute question from one of my daughters. This is Sienna.

So my question is, one study published in the Euro Surveillance Journal estimated that the proportion of asymptomatic cases was 17.9%, but another study published in the Science Journal Oh, Sienna, I love that question. You can come and work at my lab too. And the answer is yes, there could be. Of course there could. Asymptomatic means that you don't show symptoms, but you could be not only carrying, but you could be spreading,

especially if you're what they call a super shedder, which means that you may not have symptoms, but you may shed it to a lot of people because you have this ability to share the virus a lot with your friends and your family. So the answer is yes, which is why people are now moving towards antibody testing to try and figure out whether or not we've had lots of people carry it with no symptoms. And that's why this level three is really important

because just because you don't have symptoms doesn't mean that you're not safe. I imagine that was how you spoke when you were seven years old, Michelle. That's how I imagine a young Michelle Dickinson. Speak of antibodies, Madonna, the pop star, came out and she said she was tested and she had antibodies for coronavirus or something. Yeah, Madonna says a lot of things. I mean, she might have done some.

She's said a lot of stuff over the years. She has. She's had some phases. And look, if you've got antibodies, it means your body has been exposed to it at some point. We have to remember that the antibody testing that's happening right now isn't very accurate. There's lots of antibody testing that's showing a lot of false results. So the trick would be we extract whatever Madonna's got inside of her and get that out to the world.

Is that how you would potentially try and get a vaccine? No, it's not like that. Madonna can keep what she's got. Madonna, you can... No one has to go inside Madonna. Okay, it's not like that. Madonna can keep what she's got. No one has to go inside Madonna. Okay, let's stop it there. Michelle Dickinson, it's always good to catch up. We've got so many questions we can never get through enough. We really appreciate it.

See you next week. I'll text Madonna and say we don't need her. Start your day the wrong way. It's Jono and Ben on the hits Now our afternoon show Wonderful afternoon show Mike, Stace and Anika They're doing something very special

Every time I listen to them They're a great show every afternoon And I'm like man I wish I was like that I wish I was more earnest And you know like They've just got feelings Well then don't come to work In a bloody blue post Malone jersey

That has home Malone on it mate That's a great pun If you want to be more earnest Come to work in a polo shirt or something Something respectable jersey that has Home Malone on it, mate. That's a great pun. If you want to be more earnest, come to work in a polo shirt or something. It's only respectable. Bring some decorum to this bloody backyard project you're running here. Alright, thank you.

And joining us on the phone now, a wonderful lady, one of my favourite ladies, the head of my own mother, Anika Moa. Welcome. Stop grazing me up, you guys. How are you, Anika? I'm good. Actually, I'm just eating my breakfast and I've just saved my kids. And I just need to swap with you guys for just like an hour.

I know. Is it okay? There's murmurings that, you know, you're looking after four kids. It's getting on top of you in the lockdown. Oh, my God. All I can say is that homeschooling, teachers in New Zealand need to be paid a million dollars each a year. lockdown? Oh my god. All I can say is that homeschooling, you should, teachers in New Zealand need to be paid a million

dollars each a year. And it's so hard. Are any of you guys homeschooling? Is TikTok homeschooling? Well, it's a good life skill. Can I just say a million dollars is quite a lot of money for every teacher? But pay them

what they want. I'd happily give up my taxes for teachers. Yeah, the most valuable people. But on the show today, Stace, Mike and Neneke, you guys are releasing a song for Mother's Day. Yeah, well we thought it would be a lovely time to give back to

mothers and actually Mike Puru he's such a scoundrel. He wanted to do a Mother's Day parody, you know, like kind of, you know, oh, let's make it all funny. I'm like, um, it's Mother's Day. It's like sensitive. It's beautiful.

I mean, I know women, you know, because I'm a... You know what I mean? Explain the sound effects in detail. Yeah, so you're like, yeah, yeah, you in detail. Yeah, you're a love woman. Well, listen, you're the opposite of me. You're talented, you're Maori, and you're a lesbian. I can't compete on any of those levels, Anika.

So I wrote a song with Stace and Mike's input, and we recorded it at the Hits. And it's really cool. It's a pleasant little, you know, giving back to mothers. We get a few. We're doing a video clip that we're releasing on Sunday. So we're releasing the song today on the drive show, Portal 7pm on the hit, and then the video clip on the Sunday.

And, yeah, it's a nice little ditty. Well, you've given us a teaser just before you drop it. That's what you say in the biz. Have a listen. Well, you've given us a teaser just before you drop it. That's what you say in the biz. Have a listen. Well, you don't listen. You've heard it. Do you do a bit of singing, do you? Yeah.

Maybe you should. That was my part-time thing. Funnily enough, I've actually got a song called Mother that I released when I was about 16 years ago. So I've written two Mother songs now, and I reckon we should do something for Father's Day. Maybe you guys and I could do a song together. We will team up for Father.

Listen, this will be the worst collaboration you've ever done. Yeah, yeah, because you guys and I could do a song together. We will team up for Father's Day. Listen, this will be the worst collaboration you've ever done. Yeah, yeah. Because you guys are really good singers. I hear every week you do a song to wrap up the week and I'm like, this will be a shambles, but every week it's amazing. Why don't you guys do a song for the week? Well, listen, I've written my own Mother's Day song. Do you want to hear it?

Yeah, sure. Okay. Mum, mum, you put me on this earth when you pushed me out during birth. Mum, mum, you put me on this earth when you pushed me out during birth. Mum, mum, you and dad made love. Nine months later, you pushed and shoved. Why is it all times throughout your birth? Mum, mum, you are the best, even though you fed

me through your chest. Mum, mum, you're a superstar. I'm sorry when I crashed your car. Mum, mum, I love you so much. I wish you were right here so I could touch. Love, Jonathan. You creepy bastard. Yeah, mum, I love you so much. I wish you were right here so I could touch. Love, Jonathan. You repeat after. Yeah, that's a bit odd.

Love you, mum. I don't know if that was touching, but in the wrong way. Anikamoa, thank you for your time this morning. Can't wait to hear that full song this afternoon. Stay smike and Anika. You guys have a good day.

Good on you, mate. Love, Anikamoa. Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime. Just search Jono and Ben on Facebook. Producer Juliet, you were saying you paid $500 once to meet Justin Bieber. Yeah, it was probably about five, oh no, over five years ago. I came to New Zealand and I paid $500 for meet and greet and VIP tickets.

And he was as cold as ice and I was so sad. Was it when he was in his snotty teenage years? Yeah, he was like 18 or 19. You're like, I paid $500 for this. Yeah, but it was okay because I was that much of a fangirl that two years before that I met him outside his hotel and he was nicer then. Oh my God.

Did he get a restraining order on you? Probably. And if anyone needed $500, it was Justin Bieber. It was to top up his income. Yeah, good times. Now I want to quickly just talk about a moment I had as a parent because Jono and I we're both

parents love our kids. Not good ones. Well that's the thing the kids when they're young because we've got younger kids they

think so much of you and it's awesome you know you love them and they love you and they're like oh dad you're the best dad and I'm always

like no I'm not. And they get you a mug that says world's best dad. You're not even top 100. I'd be stoked to be and I try you

know I try my best I love my kids and I do everything I can but I'm like Barack Obama I'm sure he's better dad than me you know there are people like that there are people in the top 100. No, I wouldn't be. I'd be stoked to be. I try. I try my best. I love my kids and I do everything I can. But I'm like, Barack Obama, I'm sure he's a better dad than me. You know, there are people like that. There are people in the world that are better dads than us. The Dalai Lama. Is he allowed to have kids?

I don't know if he does. If he does, he'd be a better dad than you. Right. We try our best and we love them and I think that's all that matters. But I had a moment in the weekend where I was like, I think I saw disappointment in my kids' eyes for the first time. I was like, oh, I haven't seen this before. What did you do? So we were watching the news and I was talking, oh, I think I saw disappointment in my kid's eyes for the first time. I was like, oh, I haven't seen this before. What did you do?

So we were watching the news and I was talking about Sam Cain being the new All Black captain and Sienna, my oldest, was like, Dad, when were you an All Black again? And I was like, oh, no, I wasn't an All Black. She goes, I thought you were. And I was like, oh, okay.

And she spread this around the streets. I don't know, it kind of felt like that. And she's like, but you've got those shoes in the garage with the bumpy things on them. I'm like, oh, okay. Has she spread this around the streets? I don't know. It kind of felt like that. But you've got those shoes in the garage with the bumpy things on them. I'm like, yeah, rugby boots. She's like, I thought you were an All Black. She's like, do you know how many people I've told my dad was an All Black? I was never even close to being an All Black. You could tell in her eyes.

She was like, oh. And then my wife pops in and she was like, oh, yeah, but you're grand because her granddad and her uncle were All Black. Oh, here we go. Here we go. First time in the family, all successful. We got an all black, old all black top from like 1920 in our house. That was her granddad's.

It was pretty cool. But I was like, oh, God, okay. I'm not an all black. Never in close. No, okay. I always disappoint them. All my kids just want me to build a tree house. I can't build.

Who knows? I put up a bit of plywood there and Oscar sat on it, cracked, and he fell down from the tree. I was like, there's your tree house, pal. You like it now. Yeah, you like it, cracked and he fell down from the tree. I was like, there's your treehouse, pal. You like it now? Yeah, you like it now. Now he's an A&E.

God rest him. That took a weird turn. He's not an A&E, by the way. I just said that for no reason. For comical purposes. It wasn't even comedy.

No. What was it? It was just filling in your time. Now we're filling in your time talking about it. Wake up full of shame.

Wake up with these guys. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Jono and Ben mum's the word. Now it is Mother's Day on Sunday and you better get in quick

if you want to send something to your mum because her courier is very very busy this week. Yeah Ben you fired off some Cadbury roses. They were stolen from the prize cupboard, so that shows how much you love Jenny

boys. Thanks very much to Cadbury roses. A great gift for Mother's Day. A box of Cadbury roses. They've got some really cool packaging at the moment. Limited edition. Just in time for Mother's Day. And you can win, right now, a hamper and a chance to get $1,000 tomorrow. Alright, Joe! Joe! We've got to do it today.

Yeah, we do. When are we going to do that? We'll do it first thing after nine. Okay, cool. You could have told me better. Oh, I have now. You could have told me in the meeting, show meeting. Anyway, we planned this.

Let's not bicker on the air. Let's just get to someone on the phones. Oh, Joe, sorry you had to hear us bickering. It was ugly. I'm sorry. Oh, all good. I lost control. I lost control,

and I apologise to New Zealand. Joe, whereabouts are you? I'm in Waiheke Island. Oh. That's a generalisation. Are they not? Yeah, Joe. to New Zealand. Jo, whereabouts are you? I'm in Waiheke Island. Oh. Hippie. That's a generalisation. No. I'm offended by that too, Jo.

I'm sorry about that. We live in the back of our factory, so it's not that exciting. Oh. Waiheke's a great place though, isn't it? It is a beautiful place. We've been very fortunate. How's the lockdown been?

I suppose you're kind of permanently on lockdown anyway, but have you noticed any difference? Oh, it's been hard, especially when we went to loud in the water because you're surrounded by water and that's all you want to go and play on.

Oh, Joe, hopefully we're going to win your mum Bev in Walkworth some Cadbury roses and also $1,000, which will do the draw after nine o'clock,

apparently, I've just been told. This is Mum's The Word. You have to get your mother to say a certain word before six seconds, which is the current time to beat. Can we give her something easier? That's pretty short.

Yeah. What about water? You've just been talking about it. You've been wanting to swim in it. Okay. Okay, so you try and formulate a plan in a couple of seconds while we call your mum. It's Mum's the Word.

If Jo beats six seconds, she's pretty much won the $1,000. Yeah. No pressure the words. If Jo beats six seconds, she's pretty much won the thousand dollars. Yeah. No pressure, Jo. In fact, a lot of pressure. The more I talk about the pressure, the more the pressure builds. Good morning. Hi, Dad. I need to speak to Mum. Quick. Yep. Okay, that doesn't count as part of your time. We'll reset the

timer. Dad, quick! He's like, what's going on? Hello? Hi, Mum. Yeah. He's like, what's going on? Hello. Hi, Mum. Yeah. You sound like you're asleep. I just need you to tell me what's another word for H2O. Water.

Hey. Got the Asciano and Ben from the Hats. Firstly, happy Mother's Day for Sunday. You've won yourself a Cadbury Roses hamper. Well, your daughter has. My goodness. It was mum's the word and all you had to say was water the word.

Gosh, it was hard to think of something to say. Oh, no, Jo, you did very well. You did a good job. I would have crumbled on that one, so well done. Hey, Bev, what's up for Mother's Day, Bev? Oh, goodness me. Yeah, a nice day would be good. A? Oh, goodness me. Yeah, a nice day would be good.

A nice day? Goodness me. All the stuff we can do on Mother's Day. Well, you have a happy, I hope you have a nice day on Sunday, Bev. And thank you so much for playing, guys. Thank you. Love you, Jo. Love you, Bev, like you were my own.

Okay. Wonderful stuff. Okay. Who is this weird man on the phone You made this awkward See you guys Okay What more Jono would be You can wake up
