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. Guys, guys, guys, guess what? It's another Jono and Ben podcast. I'm Jono. I'm Ben. And this is our podcast. I introduced that yesterday.

And I said it sounded cheesy and you said we are cheesy. That's right, and then we discussed our favourite cheeses. I'll tell you what, I was thinking because sometimes at the start of the podcast we talk about random stuff and then yesterday I was googling funny questions to ask. Are you going to ask me one? Yeah, and this is funny questions to ask. It's basically, you know, if you want to be the life of the party, everyone likes a good laugh, a conversation.

So these are a few funny questions that you can ask some people. This is number one on the list. I'm just putting on a jacket because it's cold on this air con here. I think that's where you got it going. Yeah, it's cold on my bald head. It keeps blowing on my bald head, but that's not your problem. But number one, is cereal soup? Why or why not?

Cereal's not... I wouldn't think it was a soup, would you? I guess. What defines a soup? Let's have a look at what it defines. It's not hot. Most soups would be hot in temperature. Firstly, though, was that funny?

I thought that was a straight sort of answer from you, wasn't it? Well, no. It's because I've heard it before, but I don't think I've heard it. Oh, soup is primarily a liquid food, generally served warm or hot, and they had a combining ingredients, the meat and vegetables, or something like that. But, yeah, so I guess. Well, it depends. Well, you don't generally have hot cereal, do you?

Unless you're having, like, Weet-Bix, but then that would be more of a porridge as opposed to a soup. Okay, so there's porridge. Is porridge a soup? No. But it's a porridge as opposed to a soup. Okay, so there's porridge. Is porridge a soup? No. But it's hot. It's not a soup. Why not?

Because it's just a sloppy mess. Just a giant bowl of sloppy mess. The soup's like it's got to have liquid in it. Whereas the porridge soup is more solidified. Stop trying to be, stop trying to with your funny questions. Stop trying to force them To be funny We're taking this

Very seriously Maybe I'm taking it Too seriously Maybe I should chill The hell out Go for another one Okay Oh another one

Alright Okay Next question What is the sexiest And least sexy name Dwayne I think is the least I know you like Dwayne

The Royal Chancel But Dwayne I find Next question Dwayne I find is the least I know you like Dwayne the Royal Chancellor but Dwayne I find next question Dwayne I find next question sexiest name what would be the sexiest name what's the

oh no I know the answer to that one I'm not going to go there okay this would be your bloody margarita pizza story sexiest name sexiest name

sex balls what's your name sex balls in 40 years these are not really funny. These are more just interesting. A topic starters. In 40 years, what will people be nostalgic for? That's quite a good one, isn't it?

What will you be like? Oh, remember how we used to? Oh, the lockdown. COVID. Oh, well, not the COVID part. Well, that will be nostalgia's reflecting, isn't it? Or is it reflecting in a positive manner? I would have thought, I don't know.

Look up nostalgia. Nostalgia. Oh, soup. Nostalgic, feeling evoking or characterised. He remained nostalgic about the old days. It's just got a feeling about time's gone by. Maybe you will talk about COVID. I can't think of anything bigger.

And finally. I certainly won't be talking about this podcast intro. If animals could talk, which animal do you think would be the rudest? Cats. Oh, yeah, they probably would be. Just get an air of arrogance about them, don't they? Yeah, it would be. It probably would be a cat going...

Cats are like a... Just eye rolls, like a teenager. They're like a millennial who has a startup e-commerce business at age 19. That's the attitude a cat wanders around with. Well, there you go. There's ConversationStarter'sWorld.com. That's where it's from, and that's what we've started with. World of Conversation.

Next time, we'll ask if you – no, we'll save it for next time. Enjoy the podcast. Are we saving it because you don't have it? Yeah. Two dads just trying to fill some air time. Some may say it's pointless, but the main thing is it fills in some air time for us. That is the main thing. Jono and Ben, breakfast on the hits.

Now this is a game we like to play from time to time. It's called Liar Liar. We get two calls on. They both make a statement about themselves. One of these people are telling the truth and one of these people are lying. It's up to us, Jono, to work out who's telling the truth and who's not.

Not just us, too. The team of five million. Sorry, yeah, all of us. Caller number one, state your name and your reason for being. My name is David Lee and I've won an Academy Award. Whoa, you claim you've won an Oscar. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I have.

This is a big claim. This is a big claim. I don't think I've ever spoken to anyone that's claimed they've won an Oscar before. This is huge. Although you did sound hesitant when we said you've won an Oscar, and you're like, hmm. Yes, I have. Okay, what for, if you don't mind answering that? For visual effects. Okay. what for, if you don't mind answering that? For visual effects.

Okay. Have you got your award? I don't have it on me, no. Well, you're not going to carry it around everywhere you go, are you, Johnny? I would have mine in my pocket. If anyone asked, he's like, oh, did you mention that I'd won an Oscar? No, no, I was just saying, would you like to go to lunch?

Oh, well, here's the Oscar. You know, you'd have it on display all the time. Okay. A man who claims he's got an Oscar but doesn't have an Oscar on him. Yeah, but you're not going to carry one around everywhere. Can we pop David on hold just for a second? We'll go to our next caller. What is your story?

So, my name is Kate and I am a... She's lying. I believe it, I believe it. I reckon her name's Sarah. We've got her. Funny you say that because my sister's actually called Sarah. Oh, well there you go.

Yeah, we're quintuplets. There's five of us. What's your surname? My surname? Yeah. People might stalk me. I'm going to Google you to see if you're lying. No, you can't Google. That's not the rules of the game.

You can't Google. No, we don't want to know your surname. Quintuplets, New Zealand. I'm sorry. Okay. Are you allowed to use Google? Well, I don't think we are. Why are you sounding so nervous?

So you claim, I won't use Google. I won't use it. So you claim you're a quintuplet. Yeah. Now there wouldn't be many quintuplets in the world. How many quintuplets, how many sets of quintuplets would there be? I'm not sure in the world, but I think there's currently seven groups of us in New Zealand at the moment. That's a good fact.

We have a wee Facebook group. It's quite a large Facebook group because there's obviously seven times five. It's a good fact. We have a wee Facebook group. Well, it's quite a large Facebook group because it's obviously seven times five. It's 35. It's not a big Facebook group. Oh, you know. No, you're right, actually. It's not hugely popular.

Okay, well, that's all we're going to ask for now. We're going to try and work out. Okay, you stay on the line there, quintuplet. Now it's up to you. Who do you think is lying? Are we actually speaking to an Oscar winner or are we speaking to a quintuplet? 4487 on the text.

Experts in semi-accurate, half-remembered information. Vaguely known information, but maybe not correct. Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast on the hits. In the middle of one of our favourite games, Liar Liar. You're a liar to your best. So we've got two people on the phone right now. We need to try and work out who's telling the truth

And who's telling the lie We had David and this was David's claim I've won an Academy Award Whoa, you claim you've won an Oscar Yeah And Kate was on the line as well and she had this to say My name is Kate and I am a quintuplet So there's five of us.

So it's a battle off between the quintuplets and the Academy Award winner. A lot of text flowing through. It's about 60-40 at the moment in favour of the quintuplet Kate being the truth teller. Oh, really? Telling the truth, not lying. All right. So what are you going to go? Are you locking in the Academy Award winner? But he

hasn't got it on him. It doesn't matter who he's got it on. I'm going to say, David, you've won an Oscar. Are you telling the truth? Yeah, I am telling the truth. Wow, that's awesome. Incredible. Now let me Google David Lee Oscar. Oscar, David Lee Oscar.

Oscar's, Oscar's, oh you won one this year. I did win, yeah, I just won it for Tenet. Oh, wow. Oh, there's articles about you. I don't want it to be over, it says one headline. David Lee won the award for best visual effects and he doesn't want it to be over because he's still talking about it with us now.

Oh, I think someone's made him do it. That's so awesome. Well, I was going to say, you say one thing in an interview and then that's what everyone leads as the headline. So I learned my lesson with that one. That's incredible. So explain visual effects. What is that?

So visual effects is anything that we do within the computer, like after filming. So it's like in a classic Marvel film, for example, it's all the spaceships and aliens and all that kind of stuff. So that's it in a nutshell. So your job is done well when the audience doesn't realise it's been done. Exactly. We're like the CIA. Tell us what movies you've worked on over the years.

So I've worked on a number of the big Hollywood films. So, you know, Tenet was obviously the last one that I worked on. But I've done Venom, Wonder Woman, the Avengers films. Just kind of, you know, any of the big blockbuster kind of things. The Matrix, I'm just thinking here as well. You've done so many movies. The IMDb, your list is very impressive. How did you get into this?

I started in Christchurch, actually. I went to film school down in Christchurch and then moved to Wellington and managed to snag a job at Weta. For some reason, they let me in when I wasn't very experienced. I learned a bit of stuff there and then came over to the UK

where I've been for a long time now. So obviously the ceremony this year for the Oscars with COVID was hard for everyone to be there. Whereabouts did you watch and how did you get presented with your award? So being in London, they had the only other

fully kind of functional award ceremony. So we were all in together, probably about 60 or 70 of us. Was there other big stars, sorry, in attendance in London? Yeah, there were a few actually. So Gary Oldman was there. Olivia Coleman was there. Who else?

There was also, I can never remember his name but he's from um he's a big hitter his name escapes me he's famous the guy and he's got the arms and the legs and now he's just done so much stuff do you have any idea you're gonna win like do they give you a little inkling at all or is it a hundred percent legit with you there on the day you're like i have no idea if i'm going to win an Oscar or not. Yeah, you have absolutely no idea. That's amazing. In this day and age, that's amazing.

Do you have to enter yourself, or do you get nominated for an entry? So I think the studio nominates you, and then that's what the Academy votes on. When do you get your award? Do you get given it on the night, and are you responsible for looking given it on the night? And are you responsible for looking after it as the festivities continue on?

So normally you do get given it on the night. I know stories of people who have left theirs in the bathroom. I've got a friend who's actually won a couple before, and he would just carry it around with him around L.A., and it basically means you can get to any party on the night. You just show your off. When you're filling up your car with gas, have I shown you this? Unfortunately, you know,

because they didn't know we were winning, they can't ship them around the world until after you've won. So we should be getting ours hopefully this week. I've still not got it. That's amazing. Well, listen, if there's anything you'd like to say to a young kid

who maybe is into visual effects at school or something, what would you tell them? Just, I guess, keep working hard and more than anything, just follow

what you love doing because if you love doing it, then you'll probably get good at it. Well, David Lee, thanks so much for your time. Congratulations again on winning an Academy Award.

That's such a surreal experience and well-deserved. So thanks for your time. Thank you very much an Academy Award. That's such a surreal experience and well-deserved. So thanks for your time. Thank you very much. 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. Tomorrow is Pink Shirt Day where in New

Zealand we get together to stand together to stop bullying and the ambassador for Pink Shirt Day, a national treasure, Susie Cato joins us. How's it going? Hey, good, good. How are you guys? We're going good. Bloody good, mate. So Pink Shirt Day is something that many people surely would have heard about by now.

It's happening tomorrow, the 21st of May. But tell us about it. Where did it come from? Okay, this came out of Canada and where a young man was bullied for being different. He wanted to wear pink and he got given such a hard time that he decided he was never going back to school again. Well, his friends rallied around him and said, you've got to come back. We're going to support you in this.

And they got the whole school supporting this young man back into the school, everybody wearing pink. And schools around the world have taken it on board. But of course, Pink Shirt Day isn't just about schools because the playground is one place to bully people, but the work environment is another. And on the sidelines, how about the sidelines as well? Because that's a real shocker.

So it's about raising awareness that we're not going to put up with bullying, that we've got to break the cycle. Bullies will often have been bullied themselves, but we need to break the cycle and try a little kindness. And social media too seems to be another big one. We're just saying, actually off here yesterday, not on the radio show,

but look, people seem to say things on social media they wouldn't say in real life. I don't know why they suddenly think it's okay online. Well, because they're not face-to-face, are they? They're hidden. The same as we would, we get that pack mentality when we're out with our mates, where we say things and do things

we wouldn't normally do if we were by ourselves. So, yeah, it's really taking a look. Would I like to be told this on social media? No, I wouldn't. So why should I say it myself? It feels like there needs to be, it feels like it's been the Wild West,

hasn't it, social media up until now. And it feels like, you know, eventually there'll be a generation that'll come through and it'll be like, oh, it's not an appropriate way to act or behave on social media because it's relatively new to everyone. We're all going, I can say anything. I can bully

my favourite celebrities whenever I want. Well, ideally, we actually get a step away from the screens because we've had a little bit of time with it and we've learnt that it's really good but it's also quite detrimental to sociability. You see kids on the bus texting each other side by side and everything. It's being able to put those screens

down and actually live. Susie, as the ambassador for Pink Shirt Day, what advice would you give a gentleman who maybe relentlessly bullies his friend about hair loss? I don't know! Look, I can't think who that would be.

Neither. This is just a hypothetical Hypothetical situation We just need to look at it Is it teasing or is it in fact bullying? Well it depends if the victim goes home and cries in his car Oh you don't You may get it Does the victim reciprocate?

Does he reciprocate? Never Never anyway It's a one way street Alopecia fuelled bullying one way street Yeah Never Never Never Anyway It's a one way street Alopecia fuelled bullying One way street Susie I'll tell you what

I'd say to that young man We love you just the way you are Thank you Susie On behalf of that young man Whoever that is Hey Susie It's an awesome thing As Johnno said

That you're doing Everyone should get together And you can buy The official t-shirts From Cotton On Am I right? For Pink Shirt Day? Yes, but you'd better hurry

because they've been selling light hotcakes and the whole nation's going to be covered in pink. Cotton On stores do have a few left. Get in there today because it is tomorrow.

Oh, that's awesome. And Susie Catter, before we go, not just wearing a pink shirt, tomorrow wearing a novelty mascot costume on The Masked Singer recently. Oh, yes.

Yeah. I woke up late somewhere far away from home and I loved it. You sang a great rendition of Drax's project. Was it a lot of fun to be on The Masked Singer? Oh, it was amazing. So which one of you two are rocking out

in the next couple of weeks? Oh, I might be still on there. I can't say anything. I'm going to peel off host Randall's skin and reveal it was me the whole time inside Randall. I knew it. Well, Susie Cato, you are a national treasure.

We love catching up with you, and it's such a great thing you're doing tomorrow, supporting Pink Shirt Day. So everyone, go out and support the cause. It's a great cause. Get a pink shirt, wear it tomorrow, and let's all stop bullying together. Thank you so much. Ben and Jono call this show Jono and Ben. Breakfast on the Hefts.

The Hefts. Now, Delta Goodrum, she's one of Australia's most popular singers since her young age. She's been all over the charts. She's also been an actor on Neighbours,

the TV show, and a judge on the TV talent show The Voice. And we're very excited she's coming back to New Zealand, bringing her bridge

over Trouble Waters tour to New Zealand in October, as well as a new album out and a book as well under the same name. And she joins us right now. DeltaGoodrum at gmail.com. That's the one. And we cracked your email address just like that. How are you doing?

Yeah, I'm good. How are you guys? Lovely to hear from you again. It's our oldest trans-Tasman friendship is rich. Yeah. Exactly. Exactly. It's our oldest trans-Tasman friendship is rich. Yeah. Exactly, exactly. It's my two-phase. Oh, it's good to hear your voice. You've been very busy. You've got an album, a book, you've got a tour coming up.

Yeah, let's all go. Yeah, no rest for the wicked. Just keep going. You know, I had this music ready pre-pandemic, then went into finishing it during the pandemic, and now it's finally coming out. Well, yeah, coming to New Zealand, it's obviously had to be put on hold for a little bit, but

it sounds like October this year, you're bringing your tour, the travel bubble's open. Can you pick us up some Toblerone from Duty Free, something like that on the way through? I can. I mean, I sent you guys the songs ready to perform, right? You know you're singing with me and doing the show, like, obviously. Oh, okay, yeah. We might have missed that one. Well, I thought you started

with the Delta Good Room at Gmail, so I know you just got my email. Yeah, no, we're doing your email. Rehearsals. Listen, the first agenda at our band meeting is us not turning up to rehearsals.

Yeah. Things aren't going great. That would be bad form. I know, it's so exciting to have you here. I'm excited to bring it to life and it'll be fantastic and it's been too long since I've toured New Zealand. It has been a while since you've been here but you are Australia's sweetheart.

Are there times where you're like I just want to go out in my greasy track pants, pick up a burger on a Sunday morning, but you're probably always having to be on and be nice to people. You know what? I feel like it's not that hard to be nice to people. Jono's obviously like, wow, what do you really like, Jono?

I'm a terrible human being. Delta's lovely lovely She's lovely Don't you just want to punch an old lady in the throat? No, no Delta, well actually Here's a question for you Because obviously you've got the book You've got the album

You've got the tour But you've also got a perfume Now do you feel pressure to smell good everywhere you go? Because there's a Delta government Fragrance I'm feeling some pressure from these questions And the pressure of me being out in the world Real pressure to smell good everywhere you go because there's a Delta government fragrance. I'm feeling some pressure from these questions and the pressure of me being out in the world. But no, I do.

There's actually a song on my record called Kill Them With Kindness, which is a really, I think you should listen to that song. I do have a perfume. I've had three perfumes now. And I definitely do, they do come with me wherever I am, of course. So I try to smell my best. I occasionally go out in my tracksuit, that is true. But, you know, I think by now, after growing up in the public eye,

occasional tracksuit for me is okay. That's okay. And okay, so you're not angry at the public and you smell great. So we've got all that sorted. No, I love it so much in the sense that, like, I wish you could see the different lovely interactions people share with me on a day-to-day. And people talk to me as if I'm being in their living room

and as if they start a conversation midway. Delta, you've been brave enough to also talk about some of your health battles that you've had over the years. And what I didn't realise is Elton John called you on, was it your first day of chemotherapy? You got a phone call from Elton John. Yeah, definitely. When I started writing this record to break it down,

I started to go into stories I'd never shared before. And one of those stories was that Sir Elton John, he was one of the first artists to ever reach out to me when I first kind of broke into the music scene and then first was diagnosed with cancer and he sent a beautiful orchid to the hospital and then stayed in touch and as fate would have it, yes,

I shared that on my first day of chemo, I got a call from him and that was a remarkable moment. You hear so many stories about him supporting new up-and-coming artists. Yes, you definitely do. And that shaping from, like, Sir Elton and, you know,

Olivia, who continually mentored me, an artist that mentored. I mean, it truly is very, very important to an artist who just breaks through. Well, delta.gurum.gmail.com, so nice to talk to you again. We appreciate your time. We'll turn up to the next rehearsal. And in all seriousness, we can't wait to not only check out the new music, the book, but have you back in We appreciate your time. We'll turn up to the next rehearsal and in all seriousness, we can't wait to not only check out the new music, the book, but have you back in New Zealand in October.

Yeah, I can't wait, guys. I'm looking forward to it. I'll see you then. Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime. Just search Jono and Ben on Instagram. Now, earlier this morning, we were almost part of an attempted,

we were part of an attempted scam. We were part of an attempted scam. Yeah, now, we're not the only ones who have been scammed this week. Didn't the Waikato DHB get scammed, the District Health Board? I love just saying DHB. It makes me feel like I'm on Shorten Street. It does. Yeah, so it was a cyber attack and a ransom demand for the Waikato DHB, and they didn't pay the ransom demand,

which I imagine would have been... Once you pay a ransom demand, it really opens the floodB and they didn't pay the ransom demand, which I imagine would have been... Once you pay a ransom demand, it really opens the floodgates, doesn't it?

And what they would have everyone's personal... Because I know they cancelled all appointments and examinations and operations.

All their IT services were down yesterday as they looked into it, but they didn't pay the ransom, which apparently is the right thing to do.

Well, not according to the movie Taken didn't pay the ransom, which apparently is the right thing to do. Well, not according to the movie Taken. They wanted the ransom. They did. Oh, but then it came back to bite them, didn't they? No. Because Nisam came and he was like, I'm not paying that ransom. I'll give you a ransom, mate. I'll give you a ransom of my knuckles and your testicles. I don't know what he did there.

But this morning, we were at work just before the show and why would you want to, can I, and... Why would you want to... Can I... Sorry, tell me directly. Why would you want to infiltrate a district health board? Oh, Jeanette's having a proctology examination on Tuesday. What's that?

Yeah, I know. You're right, actually. A bank, I understand. But, yeah, what gain can you have of that? It's just... Yeah, it's just wrong. But we had a call this morning just before we started the show. You know, the phones were ringing, and it was an overseas sort of number flashing up,

and we answered it, and here's what happened. This is Carol, your fast digital voice support. We have detected unwanted interruption from your IP address, which shows your smart security has been breached, which may cause disconnection of your internet line within 24 hours. Tell us more. Tell us more. Tell us more. We want to speak to a technical team.

We definitely need to speak to a technical team. This is amazing. Is this legit or is this a scam? It sounds legit. Hello? Hello. My internet is going, my internet's going to go down. Yes, sir.

Thanks for being connected with the technical department of PAS. I should probably give you my credit card. Shall I give you my credit card? Yes. Yeah, that's a good idea. I'll give you my credit card details. Yes, you can give me your debit card, your credit card, your PAS. Debit cards. I'll go the debit card, shall I?

Okay. Okay. She hung up on me. What? I was about to give her my details. Now the internet is going to be down. Okay. Okay. She hung up on me. What? I was about to give her my details. You didn't get your details. Now the internet's going to be down. No, that was this morning.

We were a part of someone who was attempting to scam us, or we think, or Jotter was. You were like, maybe it is the internet. Maybe I was low-hanging fruit. I wasn't much of a, she likes a challenge. Likes a challenge on her hands, and I was giving it up too easy. But I just like to imagine whereabouts in the world she was located. Is it like a giant warehouse of hardworking scammers

who are just trying to put food on their table? Yeah, every time they get a scam, they get up and ring a bell. We go, like, that's it. Johnson, hey, he's got another sale. That's why he's the best. Hitting those monthly targets, Johnson. I love it how you didn't misogynise scamming there. That's why he's the best. Hitting those monthly targets, Johnson. I love it how you didn't misogynise scamming there. That's why he's the best.

Oh, she's the best. It's 2021, mate. Scammers, you know. We are some of the best scammers. Females. But we thought, actually, in all seriousness, because a lot of this is going on right now, and people have a lot of questions,

we might get a scamming expert on next. And that doesn't mean someone who's an expert in scamming people. This is someone who's an expert in protecting yourself from scammers. Ask them all the big questions. Yeah, and if you need defense... Why am I talking? Just shut up. Shut up, Jono.

Stop saying words. Ben had done a great job. Now I'm still talking over this one. 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. A lot of scams going around, attempted scams happening just with the internet generation that we're a part of now, Jono. We got scammed this morning, lady going,

your internet's down, and we're like, no. And I was like, I better give you my credit card. And she's like, why not your debit card? And I was like, even better idea. Yeah, you jumped quite she's like, why not your debit card? And I was like, even better idea. Yeah, you jumped quite quick me to that. And I think she was like. Well, we need to get these things fixed. If your internet is down, you want to really get those problems sorted out.

But anyway, we were just joking about, you know, where the scam team is located, how they're all probably so supportive of each other, these scammers. They'll be like, good one, Deirdre, what'd you do? Oh, I just got an 89-year-old. She's got Alzheimer's, cleaned her out. That's all. You're so weird. Everyone's like, woo one, Deirdre, what'd you do? Oh, I just got an 89-year-old. She's got Alzheimer's. Cleaned her out. That's all. You're so weird.

Everyone's like, woo. It's a scam team. Everyone else is not into what they do. And we thought we could help protect you and the people you know. That's our job. From getting scammed because it seems to be happening more and more. So joining us on the phone right now, the BNZ have got an awesome website called getscamsavvy.co.nz.

And Ashley Kaifong joins us. Ashley, it seems like there's a lot of these scams happening at the moment. Well, we've seen a huge increase in scams at the moment, which is really concerning. So the bank's put together getscamsavvy.co.nz and we're trying to educate New Zealanders to stop falling for these scams. So what are we talking here, Ashley? What sort of scams

have we got going? Because Ben, he was running a bit of a cheeky Ponzi scheme for a while there. He never got found out. Anyway, I won't talk about that now. But what have you got your eye on there, Ashley? Probably the most common scam is the remote access scam. This is where somebody calls up and says there's either something wrong with your

internet or they're from your bank saying there's something wrong with the transactions. And what they're trying to do is actually get your confidence and then ask you to download software to get remote access to your computer or your mobile phone. And then they get you to try and log on to your internet banking. And once you've done that, they can transfer funds without you knowing. And how many people fall for this? Unfortunately, far too many.

Most of the scams that we see for remote access are probably about 50% to 60% of the scams that we deal with are remote access scams. Wow. So the top five scams in New Zealand, I'm just reading that, so obviously fake lottery or prizes, you've got tech scam, phone calls, fraud letters, inheritance scam and pretending to be government services.

So there's a lot of a wide variety of scams that come through, don't they? Yes, unfortunately. And it's only bounded by the scammers or their imagination. Whatever will hook in people to give away their money. Obviously, obviously it's dependent on the website, but how safe is online shopping? Because I am just frivolously typing in my credit card to all sorts of websites.

Is that a wise thing to do? Should we have an internet-specific card? That's also a wise choice. Online shopping's fine, so long as you do your research to reverse image searches on the internet to see whether or not that lovely puppy that you've been looking for has come up somewhere else or has been sold several times. You can look online for reviews or comments from people. But definitely a good tip is to have an online credit card.

Only has a small ballot on. How can you pick a scam as a scam? Do you catch the scammers? So if someone's scamming in an overseas country, Eastern Russia, I've got it in my mind for some reason, are they ever going to get caught? Are they ever going to get held to account? That's difficult to say.

All I can probably tell you is the sooner that you tell somebody and speak up about it, because for a lot of people it's embarrassing, but the sooner that you tell somebody about it, the sooner something can be done. Be it your bank, Netsafe, the police, 3DNZ, or even a relative, and maybe they can assist you. Well, listen, this has been really interesting, Ashley. Ashley Kaifong, if you want to go and visit that website, Scam Savvy website, what is it again, mate? www.getscamsavvy.co.nz

Do you know what would be a savvy scam? Is if you were a scammer hosing from the bank and you set up this website that everyone enters their details. I just gave Ashley off air my credit card details. Oh God. He needed it for the interview.

I wonder why he needed a deposit. Ashley's like, I'm not laughing at that. He can't. I will not engage in this banter. Hey Ashley, a really lovely thing you're doing for New Zealand. We really do appreciate it.

Great, thanks for having me. Good on you, Ashley. Paid to talk words and stuff into a microphone. It's New Zealand's breakfast. Jono and Ben on the hits. This show needs to be known for something. You know, ZM, they've got the secret sound, and Hodaki, they've got the guy from Seven Sharp.

Right. I think I might have found our thing. What's our thing? I realised yesterday that I can type with my eyes closed. Now, that is a skill. Can you type with your eyes closed? Maybe a little bit. I can type a whole sentence with my eyes closed.

We can be the show known for the guy that's got the skill. Maybe I'll get a few letters wrong though. So you would imagine me probably as a one finger sort of guy on the keyboard. No, I'm multi fingers. Magic fingers. Ben will testify to these magic fingers. The places these fingers have been.

So you reckon you can type right now? Yeah. You tell me something to type and I've plugged it into that text to speech website. Yeah. So the audience will know and I've plugged it into that text-to-speech website, so the audience will know what I've actually typed. Okay. Is it a clear screen? Can you show me it's a clear screen?

Here you go. Text. Okay. So you tell me what to type, and I'll have my eyes closed. It's a fun game. Okay, and we'll see how I go. Okay. Okay, go.

My name is Jono. Can I just see where M is first? I don't know. I just needed to get a good starting point. Usain Bolt doesn't walk up to the start line. He's also not claiming he's going to do the 100 metres blind file, but anyway. So what did you want me to say?

My name is Jono. My, yeah, name, oh, shh, name is Jono. Jono, yeah. And I am bald. And I am bald. And I am bald. Okay. Great. See how that goes.

So I'll push start. Are we ready to go, Juju? Yep. My B-A-N-W-U-A-H-E-B-B equals S-U-N-V-K-S. There we go. Hey, so... Let's just play that again. My B-A-N-W-U-A-H-P Equals S-U-N-D-K-S

I think you'd better say We nailed that Maybe we won't be the show Known for the guy That can drive With his eyes closed Sorry I came in Quite cocky and confident there

I was like wow I was practising it Last time at home And I was like The guys will be so impressed With this Didn't quite work out In your head

In my head It's not how I saw this coming I thought you were going to be like, wow, you can do it. But not quite. N-I-D-A-N-W-U-R-E-B-B equals S-U-N-D-K-S. Real Kiwi blokes

with soy lattes. Mmm. Shono and Ben, breakfast on the hits. A bit of a bombshell. I was dropped with my wife over the weekend and I don't know

how I feel about this. She told you about us? No, but... Good, because there's nothing going how I feel about this. She told you about us? No, but... Good, because there's nothing going on. Okay, good. She doesn't mention that. No, good, because there's nothing happening. Okay. Just in case you're wondering. Now, Jono, you've, you know, we've been mates for many years. We've been working together day in, day out for like a decade and you'll

know from hanging out with me, I think you would have observed that I like my oral hygiene. Like, I'm often brushing my teeth. He does multiple times a day. He'll brush his teeth at the traffic lights. You've seen him brush his teeth in the studio. Yeah. There is no location where this man won't brush his teeth.

And I also carry around, and I have done for probably five or six years, I have gum. I have the same brand of gum. It's like a bubble mint sugar-free gum. I like it. I've been carrying around, honestly, five or six years, I would buy a few packets a week

and I would have that. It's kind of like a little just to freshen up my breath. If I've got a coffee or whatever, I will take the gum and I like it. I freshen up the breath.

I like the smell of it. I tell you what, Ben Boyce has the freshest breath in New Zealand. He blows me to sleep sometimes with him. Okay. Let's not talk about that.

I'll be right. With that fresh breath. With fresh not talk about that. I'll be right. Put that fresh breath. Fresh breath. Thank you. Put me to sleep with that. It's quite a serious topic. You're really derailing this. But yeah, so on the weekend, we were driving back,

going on a road trip, and I'd had a coffee, and I put some of the gum in my mouth. And this is the same gum I've been having, you know, every day for the past five years and I turn around to talk to Amanda my wife and she's like ooh would you stop breathing on me with that gum breath it's disgusting and I was like

oh my god I've been having this gum this is the same gum every day for five years yeah it's just really strong. And I was like, it's bubble mint. It's quite strong and overpowering.

Well, you can blow on me, mate. I just said it. And I was like, oh, my God. Have you not brought this up until now? Like, I've been walking around for five, six years having the same thing. And she decides to put it on. Sometimes you give her one piece of it.

I know, that's the same gum. That's the same gum. She wants a piece and asks for two pieces of the same gum. And you only hand out one. Yeah, because once enough, because the flavour's quite strong. I get that now. But it's a wonderful flavour. Imagine if you were cast as Willy Wonka and all the kids came to the factory.

Augustus, you can only have one gobstopper. In fact, no, you can all lick the gobstopper, share the gobstopper. That's enough for everyone. So I was quite rocked by this. So your breath, your wife hates your breath. Well, yeah, I was just found it quite overpowering. And I, you know, as someone who likes oral hygiene, and I was going to say what you said before,

but I'm not going to say it. No, let's not go back there. That was a low point. I feel like we can move on from that. If anything, we've dug ourselves a hole. We can't quite get out of the sports break now. We're all a bit rattled. Juliet, play the ads or something.

Broadcasting live and mostly awake. Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast on the hits. The one of our favourites. It's not one of our favourites, it's our favourite game.

Five words for 5K on the hits. You're only five words away from a massive payday. Can I just say for the record, my favourite game is hanging out with my family. My whanau.

It's really a game. I don't know what you mean. My loved ones. It's always a game. It's so much fun. It's a game. Mine's five words for $5,000. That's right, family. That's right. That's right, family. You know your place.

Until you start giving me $5,000 to give away to people, then this will remain my favourite game. It's a game of word association. You tell us, well, we tell you five words. You tell us the first things that pop at your head. If your words match up with ours, you win five grand. Now, we've got Nicola with us on 0800 The Hits from Whangarei. Welcome.

How are you? I'm very good, thank you. Yourself? Oh, we're doing really well, Nicola. It's lovely to have you on and lovely to potentially give you $5,000 cash. Now, your big decision, Nicola, is who are you going to send into the soundproof booth, which is also where... That's going to be Ben. Oh, Ben. Yes. Is who are you going to send into the soundproof booth, which is also where... That's going to be Ben. Oh, Ben. Okay.

Now go in there, Ben. I was in there yesterday. Just see if we need to redecorate the interior of the soundproof booth. I think it's looking a bit drabby. A bit shabby. There's not much to it. Yeah, no. I think we could zhuzh it up. It's felt-coloured grey. Grey felts is the interior, so I think it's very 2019. We'll zhoosh it

up for you, Nicola. But that is of no concern to you because we need to get you five grand. Oh, that would be amazing. You've heard the game before? Yes. You know how it's played. Have you had any wins when you've been listening in your car? I've got one five.

Oh, nice. And don't forget too, you can play online in a couple of threes. You can play online at theh. And don't forget, too, you can play online. And a couple of threes. You can play online at the hits.co.nz. If you match all five online, we can be putting you on the radio. Here's the first word for you this morning, Nicola, on this Thursday. Pierced. Ears.

Pierced ears. Word number two. Toot. Pierced ears. Word number two, toot. Horn. Skin. Oh. Skin. Body.

Skin. Skin. Oh, my mind's blank on anything else. No, that's all right. That's what you're going to roll with? Yeah. All right, let's get him out of the soundproof booth. How are you going there, Ben?

It seems like an age since I saw you. Yeah, I feel like I'm aged too. You look well-rested. Did you have a holiday in there? Oh, it was nice, actually. It was nice to get some little time out. Did you stimulate the soundproof booth's economy while you were in there? Yeah, I did. Spent around the bubble, the travel

bubble in the soundproof booth. Do something new New Zealand. Right, Nicola did well, although word number five is an abs. Oh, don't say it. It's going to be tough. It's a shocker, word five. Nicola, final words you want to pass on to Ben? Oh, good luck. I'm lucky she didn't say the five words

that she said. Oh yeah, I've got five words I'd like to pass on. Hit the music. First word you need to match with Nicola is pierced. Yes. You still got your nipples done? No. I had it done

for months for like a TV or radio, but it hurt a lot taking it out as well too. But anyway, not for me. It's a good start though. I guess ears was the first one and then the ears start going,

well, you get your nose pierced, you get other things pierced, but we're off to a good start. What other things can you get pierced? Other things. Other things. Other things.

Other things. Stop trying to move on with the game because I'm in control. What other things can you get pierced? I game, because I'm in control. What other things can you get pissed? I hate it when you're in control. Next word. Toot. Horn.

No. Nicholas says nice, and I say nice too. Skin. Skin. Skin. Oh. Skin. Skin. Oh. Skin. There's a few for skin, isn't there?

Body? Oh, yeah! Oh, I almost said dry, with dry skin. And I was like, oh, no, that's... You doubted me on that one. Yeah, I did doubt you. Sorry, Nicola. Shouldn't have doubted you.

I had another skin in my mind. Fire. Brigade Nicola what did you roll with? Burn Yeah burn Oh burn Yeah The fifth and final word was consultant

This was the one where I was like This is Yeah Where would you go for consultant? Advice? Do you get advice from a consultant? Nicola went specialist. Sorry, Nicola.

I'm so sorry. Hopefully we get a chance to do this again because I feel like we started well where there was a connection there. Yeah.

Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime. Just search Jono and Ben on Facebook. Bye. Thanks to Cadbury, Dairy Milk sniffed his block. The new fan favourite. Now over to our friendly producer Juliet, who day by

day we're slowly wearing down and making her second guess her career choices. Welcome, producer Juliet. So, Kim Kardashian is obviously known for many things. She is, you know, she's got her own empire of businesses, reality TV show. She's starting to be a lawyer as well, we were saying recently, right?

She is. She's got a real interest in public reform. Is that what it's called? Yeah, yeah. Prison reform. Prison reform. Shapewear. I've got some of her shapewear on right now.

Skins. Beautiful stuff. Yeah. But she also has four kids. And, you know, growing up in the public eye, you kind of have to, your kids will eventually learn things about yourself. And she's very famous for a few things.

One I won't mention, how she got famous. But one of the things she does not want her kids to know about, or she doesn't want to have to explain, is her marriage, her 72-day marriage to Chris Humphries. So remember when they got married and then 72 days later they got divorced and that was the most public entertainment news for a very long time. Jokes were made of it. Well, she's going to have a hard time hiding a marriage from her kids.

Yeah, it was all over Keeping Up with the Kardashians, wasn't it? They were through their marriage. What happened to that season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians? She'd be like, I don't know. It goes from season three to five. Season four, mum. He was an be like, I don't know. It goes from like season three to five. Yeah. Season four, mum. He was an NBA player,

Chris Humphries. Yeah, yeah. So she's not looking forward to the day that she has to explain that to them. But I mean, if that was my mum, I'd be like,

wow, that's kind of an interesting story to have, you know? Now, yeah, on the list of things that feature on the internet about her, you're here.

She's a very interesting woman. You know, if you were looking into the life of Kim Kardashian and compiled all the things that she's achieved, you'd be quite impressed, you know? I mean, one day Ben's going to have to sit down with his children and explain all the stuff he's put on the internet, aren't you? Yeah, a lot of the TV segments that we did.

A lot of this radio show programs. A lot of the stuff on your OnlyFans account. Yeah, gosh. It's a good account. Chris Humphrey is spelt with a K. Yeah. Like the mum. Yeah.

Chris, you know, from the Kardashians. Is that interesting? Or as I said, I probably had that. Sorry. But, you know, it's not. Anyway, no. Interesting Ben spelt with a B. Much like Ben Affleck.

Normally you would say Chris would spell with a C. Normally, I'd say the common way of spelling Chris was a C. Both the mum and the first husband spelt with a C. Normally, I'd say the common way of spelling Christmas is C, but both the mum and the first husband spell with a K. I hope Kim Kardashian relays that tale to her children. That's maybe the way that she can get around it. She starts explaining the spelling of this guy's name and it just bores them to tears and they run out of the room. Yeah, and Barack Obama has talked a little bit. Spell with a B. Spell with a B, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Has spoken a little bit about, you know, his daughters growing up when he was in the White House and whether they would ever want to get into public service like he did. And in the meantime, he explained just how intense the Secret Service was when they were around his daughters. First of all, them as teenagers having secret service guys follow them when they were going out on dates, I think probably has shut

down their interest in public service. They still have PTSD from guys talking into their wrist microphones and glasses as they're trying to go to a music concert. Great though, isn't it for Obama? He really keeps an eye on his daughters while they're trying to go to a music concert. Great though

isn't it for Obama? He really keeps an eye on his daughters while they're out dating. Gets it all fed back, the classified information. That is so true. All the secret service, they're just secret. They don't say anything. The stuff they see, they don't even relate to him. Oh yeah, I think so.

Nah, surely he's their boss. Yeah. Tell me, what are they like? What's the date like, you know? Well, it'd be hard being a president's son or daughter, wouldn't it? Yeah. You just wouldn't be able to get away with anything. Well, you wouldn't be able to do anything,

particularly in the White House situation, right? You wouldn't be able to go out. You wouldn't be able to have people over. It's easy as, you know, a lot of other kids. I read Michelle Obama's book, and she said that, you know, the kids would have to have secret service. They still get secret service, the family, like Michelle and Barack.

Showing up to the schools as well when they're going to school. Something that I found really interesting in the book, the White House is so thick, so bulletproof, that they can't even hear when helicopters are landing on the roof of the White House because it is so soundproof and so secure that they can't even... yeah, it's just crazy.

Really? Yeah. That's a great fact. We're in a soundproof studio at the moment, and we hear when Mike Hosking's helicopter lands on our roof. Don't you? It's very loud. It is very loud.

True, and that is five more. You can head to thehits.co.nz. Add these two men together, and somehow you get three-quarters worth of a normal dad. The Hits with Jono and Ben for for breakfast so last night about 9 30 i'm putting uh lovely little daughter poppy to bed it's very late i usually go to bed at 8 30 so i was uh i was in charge of the household last night and i did a very sloppy job right so thanks for running a bit behind dad time an hour behind you know we like and then under frazzle the whole time yeah and oscar tripped over and smacked his

head on the table i was like I was having a shambles. Dad's in charge. Things aren't going great, guys. But at least, you know, the bed, they're going to bed, right? Yeah, they're going to bed. It's 9.30 at night.

And she lies down and I was putting the bed tucker in. She's like, I need to find a snail. I was like, what? She's like, I need to find a snail. I said, when? She said, now.

I was like, what? Why isn't, you've been home since three and you've waited six or seven hours to tell me you need to find a snail. What do you need to find a snail for? Oh, everyone's counting on me.

School project tomorrow. I haven't brought this up at all. I haven't brought this up at all. I love the way that kids think. It just pops into their brain way past the time. They haven't figured out how to prioritise things. That should be taught to them day one. The amount of times last year I'd take my kids

to school, you know, when we were working afternoons and you get there and I'd say, oh, by the way, I need guitar today.

You're like, oh, well, thanks for telling me this at school. You have to go back or by the way, it's athletics day. Oh, thanks.

You can plan for this stuff. We've walked the whole way here. You can tell us about this. You can do comms, open comms. Yeah, exactly. Keep this going, free flowing.

But anyway, you know you try everything and your power to get out of it. I'm like, oh, it'll be fine. She's like, it won't be fine. The group's counting on me to find a snail. I was like, so what do you want me to do? She's like, I want you to go out into the garden.

You need to find a snail. Pitch black, freezing cold, 9.30. So I go out there the first time. I'm like, half-heartedly wandering around the garden looking under a leaf. And snails, they're everywhere when you don't want to find them. Yeah, yeah. I'm saying, but when you're looking for one, gee whiz. And so I came back and I was like, oh, listen, mate, there's none out there.

She's like, there'll be one out there. And I was like, please don't make me do this. She's like, have you looked under the rocks in the damps? And I'm back out there with my phone, the torch on, Trying to find her. So I was like, where are you? Please. I even prayed to God. I was like, please God, if there's a God, just give me a snail. Give me a goddamn snail right now.

And then I went back in again. I was like, listen mate, there's no snails. There's no snails. And so I was feeling like I was failing her as a parent. And I was like, here's an alternative. Get up, get in the garden. So I threw her in the garden. And I was like, here's an alternative. Get up, get in the garden. So I threw her in the garden and I was like, put your hands up, like going, ooh, I don't know. And then I took a photo

of it and I was like, well, send that to your teacher and say you had a look and you couldn't find any. Look, it's late. Look how long we've been looking for. It's now three o'clock in the morning. Pass their bedtime all because that's how dedicated we are to the school. I even went on to WikiHow, the website how to find a snail.

Have you looked under the sleeve? Have you looked under the sleeve? Snails like to hide in the damp, warm spot. I'm like, gee, what am I doing with my life? But anyway, poor snails. You didn't find one? Didn't find one, didn't find one. So I don't know how the project's going to go this morning.

But snails must just live in a constant fear that they're going to be plucked out of their comfort and put into a school project. And also when you walk along and every now and then you hear that crunch, you're like, oh. You know, you didn't see them there. You didn't mean to. But it's quite satisfying.

Dave, are you like, crunch, that felt good. I know. Sort of outpaced on the bed. This poor snail's like, okay, I'm going to make it, guys. It's clear. It has taken him about three hours to get a couple of metres. I'm coming. It's been a week. Here make it, guys. It's clear. And it's taken him about three hours to get a couple of metres. I'm coming. I'm coming.

It's been a week. Here I go, guys. It's still clear. And then you walk out after like two hours. Crutch. Uh-oh. Oh, there we go. Just all stuck inside the creases in your shoes on the sole.

What happened to Dan? Oh, yeah, well, he tried to make it between the wheelie bin and the path. He didn't make it. I just wanted to eat a leaf and move at an excruciatingly slow pace. That's all I wanted to do. Yeah, 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. Big news. Small town. Town, town, town. Yes, we're looking at some big news coming out of small town New Zealand. Today we're going to a central North Island town, Mangaweka. Now, a very iconic plane they had as a tourist attraction.

I remember driving through there distinctly as a kid and they had a DC-3 plane that was almost like suspended in the air next to the petrol station in town. So when you drove into town, it would look like, oh, there's a plane. And they had a tea room. Is that what you were saying?

Yes. Oh, there's a plane. Can we stop, Dad? Can Is that what you were saying? Yes. Oh, there's a plane. Can we stop, Dad? Can we stop, Mum? And we'd stop and you'd go up there and they had little tea rooms on the plane. So you'd climb up onto the plane, which was suspended in the air, and you could have, you know, tea and coffee and biscuits and stuff like that. It doesn't feel very or sound very health and safety appropriate back in the day.

They're just a plane suspended in the air with a cafe inside. Well, no, they kind of I guess they attached it to the ground like it was flying in the air. Oh, there's another plane! You get on there and they're like, do you want cassava chips or do you want the cookie? There'll be a little bit of turbulence later in the meal. Now, we're joined by the owner of that plane because there's some big news surrounding this plane.

Right now, live from Mangaweka, Minty, morning. Hello. How are you, Minty? Minty? Hello. Sounds like it's all going Mangaweka this morning. Yeah, it is, mate. 200 people in the town. Yes. Not many,

Minty, and how many of those 200 people all have nicknames like you? Oh, off the cuffs, a couple of local ones. Gonzo around and things like that. It's a Gonzo and a Minty. That's pretty cool. And there was a plane, a very iconic plane,

that sat next to the petrol station in the town for many years. Yeah, yeah. Been there for 35 plus years, yeah. So it's at the Mangaweka International Airport. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's a great guy, the guy that bought it here. It's quite funny, the history of the plane, really, how when he went to bring it here all those years ago,

there were meetings in the town hall and the locals trying to stop him putting it there, and then when he bought it here, it's the best thing for the sliced bread, you know? Yeah, so this one's no longer up in the town, is that right? It's getting repaired. Yeah, I've taken it away.

I had to. You know, it's cost me a lot of money to take it away, man, you know? I can imagine it's not cheap. How much was it costing you to get it craned away? Zero change out of $20,000. Whoa! But we needed to have a few cranes.

The company that did it were fantastic, mate. So you're repairing the plane, you're getting the plane. You're getting it because it's been out in the elements. And what's the plan for it after it gets... My dreams are to have it in a purposely built building, which I've got some good ideas about, something else I'm trying to purchase at the moment to make this building.

But, yeah, it's like a boutique, brewery, destination, cafe, restaurant that you come along and you walk into it and you look up in the air and go, oh my gosh, look at that sitting up there. And at that level, you can walk into it. And I'm a big collector of old antiques and stuff. Well, if you're a collector of old antiques, you can have me and Ben in about two years.

That's awesome, yeah. Sounds fun to own a plane, but it would fastly become a burden. Especially out in the elements, I can imagine. You know, it's such an iconic thing, so it's so great to see you're still going to do something with it in the town. Thanks, mate. Appreciate it. To everyone pulling a sickie today, you're not fooling anyone. Jono and Ben, breakfast on the hits.

Scrolling through your feed. Yes, we call him The Finger, because he's been scrolling through your feed with his index finger. Plus, he's got his finger on the pulse. Plus, his finger got him in a lot of trouble at last year's Christmas party. Here we go. And now, today is May 20. You know that, of course.

But it's also World Bee Day. Now, not World Bee Day, the bidet, you know, like the fancy bathroom. Which needs that, needs to take off in New Zealand, the bidet. But it is a day, an international day to acknowledge. I've been using the garden hose on Ben up until now. Acknowledge the role of bees in the ecosystem. Which is phenomenal, the amount they play in the ecosystem. I got into a bee hole over New Year's one year.

Gee whiz, without bees, the planet would die. Now, there's a few facts that I read on this particular website about World Bee Day, and I thought these are kind of interesting. So I'll see if you find it. See what your interest levels are about bee facts. So bees have jointed legs, but they don't possess any kneecaps. So therefore, they don't have knees. So it's just the bees' knees, as they're saying.

The bees don't actually have knees. So their legs just kind of snap in half. Yeah, they're joined together, but no kneecaps. So I don't know where the saying the bee's knees came from, if they don't actually have knees. Maybe that's the irony of the bee's knees. Now, honey has... How do they know bees don't have knees?

They're so tiny, right? What microscope were they using? Zeroing on their knees. True. Honey has antiseptic properties and historically it was used for dressing wounds and first aid treatments for cuts and burns back in the day. And making people incredibly sticky.

Yeah, I would too. Covered in honey. Now the practice of beekeeping dates back four and a half thousand years. Wow. That's a long time they've been keeping bees around. Geez, there were some pioneers in that game. Imagine how many

stinging sessions they had when they were starting out beekeeping. And how were they, there was a brave soul who was like, I'm going to grab that hive. And put them all together

and have a, yeah, you're right, that was a bad dog game. Go with me on this one. And now a bee has to travel, one bee has to travel basically the equivalent of three times around the earth

to make a pound of honey. One bee, that's how much they are flying. They're flying 90,000 miles to make a pound of honey. And one bee, an average bee, will only make one twelfth of a teaspoon of honey in its lifetime. One twelfth, that's one bee. So they're only making just a very small amount of honey. Like they want a worker bee. So so a whole jars worth of honey would be thousands and thousands of bees have got together

their labour of love a team of five million have pretty much made five billion have made one jar of honey and bees the final fact for you communicate by dancing so yeah I don't know why the bees are that is so cute how do they know yeah, I don't know why the bees are... That is so cute.

And how do they know this? I don't know. I don't know. How do they know they're dancing or how do they... I don't know. But I read them and now I've put a set on the radio.

Yeah, you'll probably tell someone today at work and I don't know. Where'd you hear that? Oh, some guy on the radio said it. But then he second-guessed himself at the end. He undercut the whole thing

by saying, I don't know, how do they know all this? Do you like honey? Are you a honey person, Juliet? I love honey and I actually love bees. Bees are actually one of my favourite animals or insects. I don't know why.

My dad owns a beekeeping supply company and whenever I see a bee drowning in a pool or anything, I'll literally go and save it. I don't know why I find them so cute, but I'm obsessed with them. They're kind of cute. It's like they've got little woolen jumpers on. They're so cute.

I like to whack them with those. Not on World B-Day, mate. Of all days. Of all days. Those electric tennis rackets. No, no, no. You're a monster. They're helping out.

You don't do that. Not the ones dying in the pool. They've got no chance. They're just saying how good they were for the world. They are. Now you're like, oh, good work. I'm talking about the drowning ones. No. I saved the drowning one. You'm talking about the drowning ones. No.

I saved the drowning one. You're just prolonging his death. No, because then you saved the bees. Yeah, you're a little mouth-to-mouth. Come on, you make it through. You're just your little fingers pumping. And that is Scrawling to Your Feet this morning. We apologise in advance.

Sorry about that. Sorry about that. I'm sorry to rope you into this. Sorry you've been dragged into this. Jono and Pam, breakfast on the heads. The heads. The heads.

Bye. Thanks to Cadbury Dairy Milk Sniffers Block, the new fan favourite. Half of these stories may be completely made up, but the main thing is we act like they aren't. And that's what pulls us through Spy every hour.

Juliet, what's happening? These are legit stories. These are very legit, especially this one. Something very iconic has hit its 20th anniversary, and that is the movie that is Shrek. 20 years. I know. Where's that gone?

I know, crazy, eh? And I was kind of looking back, and the reason why it did so well, apparently, was because all the other Disney movies at the time were all based around, you know, pretty princesses, handsome princes, and then you've got Shrek the Ogre. Was that DreamWorks Animation's first big gig, was it? I actually don't look that, I didn't look that far into it.

And you're like, why would you, actually, to be honest? But I would say so, and, I mean, the soundtrack of the Shrek movies was also so good as well. But this is interesting. To celebrate the 20th anniversary. Well, yes, yes. It was Ant. 1998 was their first project.

Ant. DreamWorks Animation. Shrek was the fifth. Really? Chicken Run before that. Chicken Run. Chicken Run. Oh, I remember that movie.

There was a couple of other ones that you vaguely, yeah. But, yeah, Shrek at number five. Wow. But to celebrate its 20th anniversary, someone from The Guardian wrote a really awful review, which has sent the internet into a meltdown, apparently. The review says, Shrek is a terrible movie. It is not funny.

It looks awful. It influenced many unfunny, awful-looking computer animated comedies that copied its formula of glib self-reference and sickly sweet sentimentality. And the whole internet's like, imagine waking up one day and being like, I'm just going to slam something that happened 20 years ago. Some people that love so much. Oh, this is a review

from now. Yeah, you're looking back to sell them. Critics. Imagine having a job as a critic. I know. I couldn't do it. You'd live in negativity the whole time. Well, you have to watch something and look for all the bad points so you can form an article. I guess you're doing fair.

You're meant to do it fairly, right? If that's what you believe in, that's what you believe in. You're the other way and you frustrate me for the other reasons. Because everything he goes and watches, how was it? Oh, it was good. He never pans anything. I just want him to pan something. I tried to get him to pan the 660 concert. Oh, yeah.

Oh, no, I wouldn't. It was great. Yeah. With your slurry. Name one thing. It might not have been on stage. One thing you didn't enjoy about it. Nothing.

Nothing at all. How long did you have to wait in line for drinks? Oh, it felt like a breeze. It felt like a breeze. It was too quick. Were the portaloos clean? Yeah, they were great. They were spotless.

I ate my dinner off it. I tipped my dinner off the portaloos. And used a spoon and scooped it out. That's how clean it was. Couldn't fold the whole of it. And you probably also would have seen that British supermodel Naomi Campbell has become a mother at age 50.

She did a few years ago in 2017 say that she was always thinking about having children and always wanted to be a mum but wasn't planning to rush herself to start a family. Oh, this is her first child, is it? First child. Oh, that's awesome. Because she could rely on science if she wanted to have a child.

And she's 50 and has had a baby. She hasn't said how she welcomed the baby, but it's a little girl. 66 years old is the oldest mother. Really? In the history books. Jennifer Love Hewitt, your member from Party of Five and many other shows

that you said or announced third baby. Yeah, on the way. Jennifer loves you and also loves making babies too. No, they have a Party of Five there. Ironically,

her and her husband and three kids. I vaguely remember Party of Five. Yeah. It was a good show. It was a big show back in the day. They were probably going to be panned by a critic

after I've said this. Looking back going, it was terrible but it was a big show. I remember it being a big show back in the day. It would probably be panned by a critic after I've said this. Looking back, going, it was terrible, but it was a big show. I remember it being a big show. Yeah, Ben couldn't think of anything negative to say about it. He loved the graphics. It was the kid that was looking after one of the brothers in the family because the parents had passed. Where were the parents?

I think they'd passed away or something, and then they had to look after the whole siblings, I think it was. And they were struggling because the oldest son was one charge in the party. Where was Oranga Tamariki? No, it was overseas. Where was their version of SIS? I don't know. How are they letting these kids raise kids?

I don't know. Maybe they were old enough, the oldest one. Where are the neighbours? Why are the neighbours here? There's a lot of questions. Yeah, so the oldest brother I'm just looking now is, he was 24 in the show. So he was, you know, he's an adult.

He was in charge of them, and he was in charge of the whole family, including a 16-year-old, a 15-year-old, 11-year-old, and a baby who was age one. 24-year-old? Jeez, if I was 24, I'd adopt them all out. I'd be like, I can't do this. I've got a festival to go to. I was actually asked this question the other day.

Would you rather have one baby now or triplets in three years? And? And so many of my friends said triplets in three years and I'm like I would rather have one baby now because in three years time are you really going to be triply times more prepared for triplets? Do you have young friends with babies? No I actually don't no, no, it's pretty rare What would be the ideal age for you, producer

Juliet, to have a child? Maybe 30 Oh yeah, that's a good age Live in my 20s. But you live like you're a... I'm not allowed to ask that in the current employment law, am I? No, you're probably not. Are you not allowed to ask that? No. Well, I'm not your boss, but your bosses aren't allowed to ask that.

I was just asking out of friendly interest. Curiosity. Yeah, I know you're a friend. Yeah, you're not allowed to be friends with all those other people. But 30 is a good age. Yeah, thank you, thank you. But, you know, you can't always choose the age, so we'll see what happens.

And that is Spy from Weekend Head to the hits.co.nz. Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime. Just search Jono and Ben on Instagram. That's our show for Thursday. Thanks so much for hanging out with us. Don't forget, tomorrow is Pink Shirt Day. We spoke to Susie Cato before.

A very important cause, anti-bullying. So get in behind and support everyone. Oh, so it's okay? So you're okay to bully me today on Thursday, but Friday's no-goes-over? Oh, no, mate. So, so, just... Anyway, let's not end the show on that sort of thing.

Hey, we've got a very exciting week. Next week, we're getting prepared for it. Yeah, we have. The Friends Reunion is released on the 27th and we're doing an unsanctioned, slightly illegal Friends Reunion. The Friends of Friends Reunion where we're going to talk to the castmates.

the grumpy neighbour upstairs we locked in the singer who wrote the song the theme song oh no that's us singing the sing-along last night

so no one told you life was good let's not explain why we were doing that let's just say we were just doing that for our own It's us singing the theme song last night. Let's not explain why we were doing that. Let's just say that we were just doing that for our own. Yeah, that was at a fountain. We were filming and it was just for personal use. But I recorded us singing the theme song. But no, we do have the singer from the actual theme song.

The guy from the Rembrandts. You know the Rembrandts? Remember the Rembrandts? The duo in the Friends cast were actually in the music video, weren't they? I know, that's pretty cool. So our Friends of Friends reunion, that's happening next Thursday. You have yourself a wonderful day. Let's go out on a little bit of... It's happening next Thursday.
