The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Cheers to Dilma, making the world a better tea. So no Jono this morning, Megan. He's got COVID. He does have COVID, but I'm happy to have you back. I'm back, because I've been away for a few days as well. Just what a wild few days it's been for me. Just quite unusual. Like, very, very surreal last few days.

Last week you would have heard me banging on about the fact that I hurt my elbow at the gym and I thought there was a gym injury going on because it kind of swelled up. Got this bursitis thing going on, which is like the swelling around my elbow. And then the doctor was like, if you get a fever or if things get worse, come back in a couple of days. And things got a whole lot worse. Yeah. So that my whole arm just swelled up like it was, I thought like the size of one of Dwayne Johnson, The Rock's arms. It was like, it's probably like the dream, like if I was going to the gym and I wanted dream muscles,

that's the size of it. But it was like four times the size of my other arm. It was just red and swollen. And then I got these full on fevers. Went to sleep because it was really weird for me to sleep. Wait, you got the fever and then you still went to sleep? I was home by myself and I was just like, I just need to sleep. I was kind of a bit surreal.

And then my wife was like, you're going to the doctor. And I was like, I just want to sleep. Why does it always take your wife to be like, you have to go to the doctor? Remember the doctor saying if you get a fever, that's serious. I just felt like I needed to sleep. So anyway, we ended up going to the A&E about 10 o'clock one night. I got put on an IV drip. It turned out it was like an infection that my body had.

And so it was a nightly trip to the A&E for four or five nights. So I'd go back for more IV drips and consult. So it was that serious that you couldn't take oral antibiotics? You had to have an IV? IV, yeah. And that's, you know, I don't want to complain about it, but it's not a quick process when you've got to go back to the A&E and you've got to kind of join the queue. And then, man, there's so much going on for so many people.

You kind of sit there and appreciate that people are dealing with sick kids and sick themselves. There's people vomiting. There's broken arms. You're like, man, Kiwis are dealing with a whole lot. And then the nurses and doctors are dealing with so much as well. You know, there's like one nurse, one doctor between three rooms that they're running between. It's that moment where they kind of go, I'll be back in a minute.

And you're like, they coming back? They coming back? I'm not going to see them for a while, am I? But they're amazing. They do such amazing work. So I do feel like I'm on the other side of it now. My arm's coming down. It's still swollen and red though.

Yeah. I've been sleeping so much. Just not like you. No, and I hate resting. I really, really hate resting and all i've been doing right now is resting so yeah it was good to see you yesterday you came in for a little visit and i was like do i hug him i don't know like are we at that point in the relationship but i was so pleased to see you that you're okay it's yeah but it's funny because

resting i'm sore from resting like my back and my neck is sore and i'm like i've done nothing like i've just been lying in bed I'm like, I've done nothing. I've just been lying in bed. I'm like, why am I sore? I feel like you get like that when you're a bit older, eh? You sleep in and you're like, oh God, my back hurts. I'm not made for this anymore. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.

So. For copyright purposes, we're calling it NSYNC. We ripped it off a game. Definitely didn't steal it from a car game. It's a great game I played with some friends, and I was like, we can do this on the radio. So basically I give you a question. The idea is that we all sync up. We all have the same answer, and if we do, we get points.

Okay. So you're going to play as well, because you don't actually know what we're going to say, right? So you can actually play along. No. Okay, so I'll read out the questions. You can play along with us at home. The mind know what we're going to say, right? So you can actually play along. No. Okay, Producer Taylor's with us. I'll read out the questions. You can play along with us at home.

The mind of Producer Taylor's an interesting one, though. Yeah, normally me and Jono are in sync. Yeah. Oh, you and Jono normally are in sync. Yeah, Jono away with COVID today? Yes, he is. You change onto mic. You've got the big mic today, mate.

Sorry, did any of that go through? No, some of it went to you. You're a little off the bat, but it's fine. You're quite a loud voice anyway, so it sort of carried through. True. All right, so I'll give you the question.

Play along at home and we'll see if we can sync up. Okay. First question. What do you value most in friendships? Oh. I don't know. Should we do

Okay Three Two One Loyalty I was going to say honesty But I don't know Yeah

I don't know why honesty I don't think I actually value But I couldn't think of anything else So what did you say Megan? Loyalty Oh loyalty I said laughter Yeah that's

Yeah that was a good answer That's probably what I really value But yeah That was a dumb one, that one. All right, let's go to another one. Second question. The most boring sport to watch live. Three, two, one.

Cricket. Oh, yeah. I was going to say it. I couldn't bring myself to say it because I knew you guys were going to say cricket. Yes, you're right. You guys get a point for that one. To be fair, golf is also up there. I do love my cricket.

I love it, but I can see how boring it is. Not the one days. Yeah. The ones that go on and on and on. The big hits. Yeah. Okay. Well, don't you guys get a point for that one?

Yep. The smelliest part of the human body. Oh, okay. Okay. Okay. Three, two, one. Bump it. So you said armpit, producer Taylor, what did you say?

Yeah, butt. Oh, your butt. Well, I said bum, so I feel like we should get a point for that one, all right? The armpit's up there, but I mean. Yeah. I didn't even think of the bum. Yeah, well, no, that's good. That's good.

All right, let's go one more. What is the largest fruit you can get in your mouth without chopping it up? Oh, okay. Oh, that's it. Okay. Are we doing it? Okay. Three, two, one.

Avocado. Avocado. Yeah, I reckon I could. Oh, avocado. Get one. We're getting one. How ripe is this avocado? Is this like a...

Well, it would have to be hard, eh? Otherwise, it would just smoosh in my mouth. Is it a haas or one of those big green round ones? No, a haas. Okay. I got like, yeah, I can't. My mouth is actually not, for some of that talks and there's a big mouth, it's not actually that wide.

What did you say? What? My mouth's not that big. No, you're fruit. Oh, banana. Banana. Banana. The whole thing.

Oh, not the whole thing. No. The whole thing in your mouth without chopping it up. Oh, no. Just definitely not. Banana. The whole thing. Not the whole thing, no. The whole thing in your mouth without chopping it up. Oh, no, definitely not. We need to explore the banana. My daughter said that to me the other day. She's like, I can get the remote in my mouth. That's a weird thing to say.

And I couldn't. I was the only member of the family that couldn't put the remote in their mouth. That's okay. Poor Auckland divorcee met a Singaporean woman on Tinder and was tricked a Tinder swindler situation here Megan $569,000

he ended up putting into now this doesn't happen straight away you read the headline and you're like and even he said he's like I'm a smart individual I know everyone's going how stupid is this but it just happened over a series of weeks. So he didn't just deposit half a mil in one go? No.

Well, I think he did eventually. Eventually, that's how much he put in, thinking he was investing in Bitcoin. And it turned out he wasn't. And now it seems like there's a bit of a muck up with the bank. And bank's kind of saying, well, we could have done a little bit more. But unfortunately, you might have to wear most of that money yourself, which is so heartbreaking as well. $570,000 scam.

That's what, you hear that every time there's a scam like that. The people say, I'm a smart person. So like just be on a vulnerable moment, get sucked in. Have you fallen for a scam before? You're a smart person. I have. I think it was a credit card situation because the bank luckily got my money back.

Right. But I've so often nearly fallen for those ones that get sent to you via text. The ones that say you've got a package, you need to pay the $3 or something? I nearly fell for that. Yeah. Because I have packages all the time

and I was like, oh, it's $2 to release it. Weird, but okay. So I clicked the link and then I had a moment where I was like, hang on a's $2 to release it. Weird, but okay. So I clicked the link and then I had a moment where I was like, hang on a second. It might only be $2, but I'm giving away details. Is that what I should be doing? Luckily.

And yeah, that's a scam. But then it can work like in the disadvantage for the, because there was someone, WhatsApp. I got WhatsApp by a courier company and I'm like, this is a scam. And it was genuine. They were actually, yeah. They were saying, oh, your package is going to arrive on it. This is a scam. But they didn't ask for any money. And I was like, well like this is a scam and it was genuine but they were actually yeah they were

saying oh your package is going to arrive on this is a scam but they didn't ask for any money and I was like well this is unusual and then it turned out they were whatsapping me and I had no you know that's weird are you sure have you checked your credit card lately yeah well yeah well I didn't give them any details as well I got scammed once because you know big basketball fan LeBron James ended up my favorite player ended up playing for the Lakers. And I don't know why I thought there was a site online, it was be the first to own a singlet for him for the Lakers. I'm like, yeah, right.

And it hadn't even been released, like the singlets. And I put money through to this account. Getting a singlet. I was like, great, I'm going to get a singlet, be the first to own it. And then singlet didn't arrive. I thought, hang on, I think I've been scammed And then I went back To the account Sorry that website And it had gone It didn't exist anymore

I'm like uh oh See you're a smart person as well I'm a smart person When you relay the story You feel stupid And you understand But in the moment It's like the NBA

Hadn't even released the Singlet It's like why would This site got to have them But anyway that was me So yeah So be careful out there The Hits The Jono and Ben podcast.

Also in New Zealand over the last couple of weeks was Blink 182. Travis Barker, the drummer, of course, with all the tattoos. Now, he is in a relationship with Kourtney Kardashian. They were both in the country. She spelt Auckland wrong. Remember she spelt Auckland wrong? A UK land. Yeah, I mean, fair enough.

She's not a great speller. But something that she is, she's admitted to is autosexual megan now i had never heard this term before neither had i so she has come out as autosexual it's not an attraction to automobiles yeah it is kind of an attraction to yourself there's a lot of bogans around the country they're probably quite attracted to their cars you know so each to their own auto trainer magazine's kind of like, you know, in a porn hub, so that's all good. I'm not here to yuck someone's yum. Exactly.

But she says she identifies as an autosexual. Now, this isn't a fleeting comment that she's made once. She has said this a couple of times, but just recently it's come up again in an interview. So this is two people who are not well-versed on autosexuals, but from what I understand is that it is someone

who is more attracted to themselves than to other people. Yeah, so you can still be attracted to other people from what I understand. But genuinely you find yourself sexually attractive. Yeah, but not a narcissist. Not a narcissist. A narcissist is someone who doesn't have empathy for others. So she's obviously got empathy.

She's obviously in love with Travis and stuff. But she also is like, hey, I'm hot. I mean, it's probably not a bad thing to be in a lot of ways. Yeah. Is it just that like, yeah, I'm hot. Like that's a level of confidence. But like she finds herself sexually attractive. I mean, as a teenager, we all tried to hook up with the mirror every now and again, but

that was more for practicing purposes. It wasn't because I thought it was hot. I was like, oh, this guy's checking me out. I know. Yeah, I need to understand this more. Does she get dressed and she's like, oh, yeah. I mean, we all had that moment too, where sometimes you get dressed and you're like, yeah, I look good. I definitely don't think i'm in love with myself in that regard

no although my wife did because i kept the sign yeah because we had jonah would be in the tv show we had a big neon sign so i got the ben part yeah so i was like i need to put it up now so i've got that i was like i wasn't allowed to put up the bedroom apparently because that's a bit weird so it's in the lounge so you can turn on the light and the bed goes, ahhh. Everyone comes around like, oh, this guy loves himself. I just thought it was a cool bit of artwork. I get so much crap for the fact that I have our wedding

photo in the lounge. Everyone's like, that's weird. Yeah, well, that's probably quite weird that I've got the big Ben neon sign as well, so maybe I'm autosexual. Maybe I am as well. A neon light, yeah. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Yeah, now, Megan, there's a royal scandal going on, a Photoshop scandal. Yeah, Kate Middleton has admitted to Photoshopping her Mother's Day picture with her kids.

What is going on? We've got a brand new royal correspondent with us this morning. His name is Peter Anderson. He joins us live from the UK. Good morning, Peter. Guys, good morning to you. Now, Gavin Gray normally joins us, does a wonderful job, even teaches us new words. Megan, what's the word he teaches?

He taught us rapprochement. Rappochment. I can't even say it. It's too posh for me. You got any new words for us? He's so posh, that guy, but today, no fresh words, but I have managed to Photoshop him out of the story. I love it. So this is meant to be a nice thing. Kate Middleton obviously hadn't been seen for a while.

There's rumours after a surgery she was on The Masked Singer or a Brazilian butt lift or something like that. But then she puts out a photo for Mother's Day with her kids. But a lot of people are thinking it might be photoshopped and even Kate Middleton has admitted to that. Yeah, absolutely. It has been photoshopped and then some. It's being described over here as an embarrassment, as a gaffe, as a PR disaster.

And as you say, leading picture agencies were supplied with this wholesome family photo. It showed Kate and her three children, George, Charlotte and Louis. And it was supposed to mark

Mother's Day here in the UK, but also to address those very serious and intense social media speculations about Kate's health since she underwent surgery in January. But five picture agencies very shortly retracted the image, saying that they had concerns that it had been edited. And as you said, there was an apology.

The Princess of Wales, unprecedented, very rare and hugely embarrassing, having to go on social media to express her apologies for what she described as any confusion. And she admitted, I do occasionally experiment with editing. This has been a huge own goal. It's been an embarrassment for the royal family. And it's only added to the speculation about her health and what could be going on behind the scenes in Kensington Palace. Now, Peter, I've got a wife, two daughters, a dog.

Sometimes we try to all get in the photo together, all smile, all not blink, you know, look at the camera. Sometimes it's a shamble. So do you think maybe they chose the best photo of each person and tried to put it together? Or do you think there's something else going on? I think they have definitely used the best elements of different photos. We have been looking at this picture in minute detail

and there have been people who have spotted up to 20 different anomalies. We've got Princess Charlotte's sleeve not quite in alignment. Sections of the background are irregular, as are the shadows. surrounding bits are completely in focus and what people are saying is it looks like multiple images might have been pieced together using photoshop and while we all do this with our holiday snaps we all lighten and brighten and change the colors it has opened up a whole debate over trust in the royals and when you think about the royal family criticizing the media here in the uk the national union of journalists which represents the media and, has said that the royals have misled the public and fuelled conspiracies. This is the media biting back at the royals. So that only fuels speculation that there's something wrong. What's going on with Kate?

Why didn't she just take a new photo? Yeah, what's interesting is not only why didn't they take a fresh photo, but why didn't they get a professional photographer in to take that photo for them? We understand that Kate is only letting a very small circle of friends and close-knit community actually see her at the moment. And that is just fueling this speculation. The last time we saw her, guys, was back december when kate attended along with the other royals the christmas day church service and we are not due to see her we understand from the royal family until easter so several weeks off and that huge gap where she isn't being glimpsed apart from occasional snatched photos in the car that is fueling the rumor mill and the speculation about what could be the problem what really could could be the story. Do you reckon that opens

up the rules to more Photoshop and they could put hair on William, they could put Harry back into the photos, they could put Andrew out of the photos I mean there's a whole raft of possibilities. We can put people in, we can put people out I was looking on social media at some of the fun that is being poked at the royal family for this photo. And I've seen versions where the young princes and the princess were replaced with their heads becoming Taylor Swift. Becoming Mr. Bean. If you like memes, if you like Photoshop, this is an absolute gift.

Well, Peter, thank you so much for your time this morning. Really appreciate you Photoshopping yourself as you see it into the story. Guys, great to speak to you. Thank you. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. And very sad news yesterday. The singer of that song, Eric Carman, passed away at the age of 74. Singer of that song, singer of All By Myself, another huge hit.

That song famous from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack too, right? Ah, yeah. Hungry Eyes, Patrick Swayze. Who's that, All By Myself?. Hungry Eyes, Patrick Swayze. Is that all by myself? Yeah. Isn't that Celine Dion? So, well, I don't know. Don't throw these questions to me right at the end, mate.

Or did she, is that a cover by Eric Carman? Again, you're putting me on the spot with a lot of questions. I don't know. I'm not sure. We'll find out those details as well. Who knew that was a cover? Yeah. Shut the front door. Who knew that was a cover? Shut the front door. Who knew that was a cover?

So very, very sad. Passed away at the age of 74 yesterday. Now, we like to do this every week where we get our mundane text from our relationships that have probably been going on. Well, maybe not you, Megan. Your relationship's a little bit sickly and cute. Honestly, the texts are not great. Okay, we're going to look at our texts, our mundane texts,

and make them a little sexy. Cue the sexy music, please, Producer Brooke. All right, here we go. So we're going to read out our mundane text and try and make it sound a little more sexy. Have you got something for us this week, Megan? I do. I'm trying to call you.

This is my husband. Yeah. Me. Sorry, the fridge guy's here. Does he need you? He's asking me questions. Make sure you tell him it's leaking. I did.

That's just hot foreplay right there, isn't it? Producer Tala, we're going to bring you into this because Jono's away this morning. We've got some sexy texties between you and your husband, Marcelo. Yeah. So this is my husband kicking things off. Morning. I'm just going to give Louis his kibble this morning.

That's our dog. And what's kibble? Like dried biscuits. Oh, yeah. Gotcha. And I said, morning. Yeah, no worries. That should be fine.

And he replies, just 60 grams of kibble, question mark. I said, nah, only 30 grams. Then he said, sweet. Only 30 grams. A man and my wife and I, we had some sexy texties going on the other night. She said, hey, bun, are you awake and hungry? Wait, what? Hey, bun, are you awake and? Wait, does she call you bun?

No, next text. Sorry, I meant to say hun. I thought that was some cute New Zealand accent for Ben. But I am at Burger Fuel. I'm about to order. Do you want anything? So that was the text. And I was asleep with my fever-induced dreams,

so I missed that text. But there you go. I was going to call you bun for evermore now. Ben and hun kind of works together like that. So there you go. I was going to call you Bun forevermore now. Ben and Hun kind of works together like that. So there you go. No, she's never called me that before. John Owen Bun. Yeah, Bun is how I say it to any American listening right now.

Good morning. Now, set the scene for think, is joining us. Good morning, Renee. Good morning. Now, set the scene for us, your relationship status, what is it? So, we're in a relationship. We've been officially together not for super long, almost a year, but we've been dating for almost two.

Oh, so relatively new. Okay. They should still be sexy, right? Yeah, they should be sexy texies. What sort of sexy texies are we sending? Can you read out something for us? Oh, so we're dairy farmers, so this is our one from yesterday. Okay.

So sexy cows. I was like, oh, I fixed the fence this morning. Now the cows can't get in at all. And I got the response of, that's great. I've told the boss. Yeah, that's really dairy farming. That's just flirting in the farming industry,

isn't it? You know, it's his love language acts of service. He fixed the fence. Some guys might, you know. It only took four escapes within an hour to fix it. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. It was a wild, wild few days for me. An elbow injury turned out to be an infection that I got.

It caused me these massive fevers to go on, my arms swelling up, kind of like Popeye. Popeye, you know, those big muscly arms. One arm that was huge, the other one kind of tiny. Right down to your wrist you had fluid, I guess, and it was all swollen up. Red and swollen. I had these wild dreams as well too with these fever-induced dreams. Yeah, right.

So I've just been sleeping and getting IV drips at the hospital over the last few days as I'm trying to recover from an infection. I've never had anything like it, so it's been quite full on. It was initially quite a funny gym injury, but then we started to feel bad because you were actually quite unwell i had to go yeah all these iv drips and kind of be monitored and yeah as i said i've never had sort of crazy crazy dreams a lot going on while you sort of sleep while fever induced but what kind of dreams just just wake up you're like a lot of them i don't remember but i do remember wake up and go wow that was wild you know like my mind just put me all sorts of crazy locations and yeah Dorothy from Wizard of Oz had nothing

on my dreams that's for sure uh but over the weekend I was of course just trying to rest and I hate like to be honest I hate resting that it's it feels like such a waste of time it's like why I don't know I think I'd love that yeah like. A little bit of a show, watching a little bit of a show, watching a little bit of cricket. You'll be happy to know me. What about Drive to Survive? Formula One on Netflix. I'll watch some stuff.

It'll be good. Six seasons. I'm done with that now. I'm done with that now. But anyway, I was trying to rest as much as I could. And I've slept heaps during the weekend. So all I was doing was resting. And for some reason, I was more sore after resting.

My back and my neck. Your body's seizing up. I'm like, what is this? But anyway, over the weekend I just rested and my wife said to me after the weekend, she's like, don't take this the wrong way, but it was a really nice weekend. I was like, oh, how am I meant to take this? I've been like feverish and bed with IV drips, go to the hospital. She goes, oh no, that part was horrible.

But it was just nice to know that we weren't going to go out and have to do all these things. I'm like, oh, am I that person? And I am. I am that person in the relationship where I'm like, I don't like to sit around. I like to do things. I like to get the family up and at them. We're doing activities. I'm doing my jobs.

I'm telling everyone about the jobs that I'm doing. She goes, it was actually a really nice relaxing weekend, apart from you being horribly sick, which is awful and I feel terrible, but yeah. You have a list of things like literally on your phone that you check off every day and I hate to think what the weekends are like. You're like, right, Amanda, let's get up, let's do this, that, activities. I know, I'm there. I can't, I hate, the beach as well, like she'll love to sit on the beach and read a book.

I'm like, I'll just, come on, someone do something. What are you doing on the beach? That's what you do. You lie down and read a book in the sun. What are you doing? I'm like, come on, pass the ball around. Let's do something. I'm like a Labrador puppy on the beach as well.

Exhausting. Yeah, so I am exhausting. Maybe that's why I'm sleeping so much. Just exhausted. So yeah, I was a little bit offended but at the same time I think I need to sort of pull back over the weekend I'd sort of get up and I'll be like oh the dog hasn't been walked man I'll be like yeah it's good I'll get to it it's all good and she did she did all those things but so what are you going to do this weekend oh I don't know I'm going to

try not to say anything as well try not to drag the family around as well but it's really hard for me the hits the Jono and Ben podcast. And you mentioned this yesterday after the show that one of your kids ended up playing with something that they shouldn't. And it's not what you're thinking, you naughty wee devil. No, my son Bastion, he's three years old. There's not really, he doesn't get into a lot of things. He's not like into the cupboards or anything generally.

Did you find that as a parent, like when they, you know, when they couldn't crawl, when your kids couldn't crawl, whatever, it was quite good. You can kind of get, you're there, you're not going to get into anything. But all of a sudden when they start to move around, you're like, oh, everything's kind of. And so fast. One minute they're there and then I'm like, where's he gone? I can hear some noise in the distance. Where is he? So he just watches me do a lot of things. He watches me put on my makeup every morning. He likes to get the brushes and he's put eyeliner on his face. It's hilarious. But generally he doesn't go through my cupboards, but he has gone through my vanity in my bathroom and he's come out holding a little box in his hands. And he pulls out what's inside and wants to play with a bunch of tampons.

Okay. And he's like, mummy, mummy, I'm going to play with these. He tries to line them up in like little stacking blocks. I'm like, I didn't want to make a huge deal out of it because then I was like, he's going to really want them. So I was like, oh, no, we don't play with those. We definitely don't open the wrapper. Those are mummy's special things. And as soon as you call them something special,

he's like, Bastion wants special things. I was like, trust me, you don't. You will never need these. You can buy Bastion some special things. Also, they're expensive. I don't want to just buy them for you to play with. Go play with your toys. You've got a million toys but yeah he wanted to play like stack up all the tampons uh so yeah and he now knows where they are too so i'm gonna have to move them to a different spot

oh i can imagine it happens a lot with young kids i do remember one of my daughters uh sienna when she was young now luckily i'd finished the beer the beer had gone but coming back into the lounge and she looked like she was just she looked like she chopped the whole thing she was young. Now luckily I'd finished the beer. The beer had gone but coming back into the lounge and she looked like she was just she looked like she'd chopped the whole thing. She was like drinking from the beer bottle. Got a great final of her for her 21st of her just in her nappy while the TV but the beer was finished. Because Bazzie's just started wanting

to sniff beer. Because kids quite like beer eh? Every time someone comes around and has a beer he wants to sniff their beer. Don't do that, mate. No, we don't give him beer. So we want to know this morning, what did your child find on 100 The Hits or 4487?

It could be even like, what did you find as a child? Like every time I go up north to my mum's house, she is, she's a bit of a hoarder. So I go through and I'm just like, Is that where you get it from? I'm just like, mum, do you need to keep all this? Honestly, it's just like, she has like a fish, like fish juice, basically the juice left over. Cake crumbs.

She keeps crumbs from cake. She might want to make cake pops. I'm like, what are you going to use? Also, you cannot talk. I do keep a lot of costumes and stuff in the garage. So the little silica wraps that you get those, you know, like with wraps and stuff. She keeps those in a little container. What does she need those for? she might use it one day the little plastic fish that

you get in the sushi you know like with the little yeah she keeps those bread tags uh all sorts of chicken broth as i just go there i'm like we need to we need to throw a lot of this out because so much of us expired all the medicine all the food there's like chutney from like 1974 and stuff in the fridge. Why do they keep it forever? No one eats the chutney. No. No one does, right? No.

The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. And your child found something that they shouldn't have? Basti, my son, went into my vanity and wanted to play with the tampons. I feel like that's a sitter. Kids just like, they just look like little toys, little stacking blocks or something. But I was like, no, obviously there's a mum special things. Soon as I called it something special,

he was like, I want special things. I was like, no, you don't. Trust me, you don't need them. What special things? You don't. So obviously sometimes it can be a slightly awkward thing, like in your situation. Yeah, I don't really want him running out when people are over,

being like, ah, my stacking blocks. I'm like, no, they are not. Everyone's like, have you been around to the pupper's house? Is that what the kids are playing on? But other times it can be a good thing. Now, there's a group called Boston from many years ago. You'll know this song. Now, one of the kids whose parents are in the group the boston group i was just

driving his dad's truck around that last year he heard a song in the cd player and he was like that's quite cool and then he heard it he was oh my that's my dad singing on it it was an unreleased track of boston um one of their songs he put it on tiktok and went hey check this out and then it blew up huge with heaps of streams oh wow, wow. Yeah, so that's what he found, something quite cool that they hadn't even released. Was his dad angry about it? He'd be like, no, that was never meant for release. That sucks. We never wanted that to release.

So we want to know, under the hits of 4487, what did your kid find that maybe they shouldn't have? Catherine, good morning. Good morning. Now, we're talking about kids finding things that maybe they shouldn't. What was it for you? So my daughter, she got into a box of like bachelorette toys. She found this toy, which is actually for a game,

where another person's like strapped it to their head, and one person is like throwing hoops at it, right? So I imagine this is more of a sort of... It's like a pole. Yeah. A little pole. An adult fun toy. I imagine it's strapped to your head sort of thing on this occasion. person is like throwing hoops at it right so i imagine this is yeah more like a pole yeah a little pole an adult fun toy i imagine a strapped g head sort of thing on this occasion yeah exactly that yeah and so anyway she got into that box and she had strapped it to her rocking horse right oh proudly showed me she's like look mom rocking horse is a unicorn. You're like, ah, yeah, it is.

Oh, my God. Did you leave it on or quickly take it off? I took a photo, actually. The unicorn could also move while vibrating as well, too. It's like one of those things you put money in in the mall for your kids to hop inside. You don't want to make it too fun for her. She wants to show everyone then.

Yeah. So how long did that last on the unicorn? Not long? Oh, not too long, no. I had to take that down. I love it. Oh, we appreciate your call. Such a good call, Catherine.

Thank you so much. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. I mean, we just, I just found out before. Now, we've been dining out for years on the fact that I wrote the Novus show, Shackrack Windscreen, your commercial. And everyone's like, oh, great laugh. But you were just like, oh, yeah, I wrote a song. Yeah, but this is a little bit of nepotism because my husband is a singer.

He's now in the 10 Tenors. He was in Titanium, the boy band, back in the day. And then he did a solo career. So I was like, this is my moment to write a song because i know someone who can actually sing and put it out there totally so i we were writing a song about a situation in his life and i wrote a lot of the lyrics and actually if you go to the the youtube video if you click down on the details you can actually see i get a credit as a writer and v're an owner there. And Vince Harder also wrote the song as well. Oh, a great musician, great singer.

Like bonafide musician, talented guy. I got a credit alongside him. Oh, that's pretty cool. So this is the hook from the song, right? Obviously not me singing. It's my husband singing. No, but it's still very cool that you wrote the lyrics to the song. Yeah, it's called Burn It Down.

I wrote that, burn it down, my lyrics. You were like, burn it down. Was it like an intense brainstorm or was it a riot? Were you like, ah, change that, do this, or you were like that? Well, Vince Harder actually wrote the catchy parts of the song the good bits but like we actually wrote it pretty quickly like you know you hear about artists going

oh yeah we wrote it in 10 minutes or whatever whatever more I care but she did but here's the thing so we wrote that a while ago and since I've been like okay so I'm a singer songwriter now oh I'm a songwriter

I've written him maybe six or seven songs. Oh, so you're pitching him ideas now, are you? But he hasn't taken up any of them. I'm like, ouch, what is wrong with... And one of the songs he actually released, we had the music first. I wrote the whole song and he got it completely rewritten.

Oh. I'm just like, ouch. So clearly I don't have much of a future in it and my partner doesn't even want the songs I'm writing. He's so lovely too and Andrew too. He's probably like, that's great. He is. How about we put that on the fridge,

your lyrics next to one of the kids' pictures and we look at it all the time and things like that. And when he got that song rewritten, I'm like, lyrics aren't as good as mine constantly. He's like, okay, mate. So awkward. Well, a great skill to have. It's very, more than I've got. What, is it a skill if you only get one song? Well, obviously not a skill if you ask your husband at the moment.

Maybe I should send them to like Pink or something. Wasted on him. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. She was in New Zealand last week. Three amazing, amazing shows. How did you enjoy it, Megan? Are you joking? What? Oh, did you not hear? I was sick.

I couldn't go. Did you not? I thought you were teasing me. Oh, no, I didn't. I've been sick, mate. I've been sick. You were sick. You didn't undervalue.

You were sick. Yeah, no, I cried and cried because I was quite sick, so I had to not go to pink. Oh, sorry. Sorry for bringing it up. I thought you were trolling me. Like, did you enjoy it? Oh, now I'm going to. Now. Looks incredible. It did. It looks incredible. Yeah. Oh, yeah. But you were trolling me, like, did you enjoy it? Oh, now I'm going to. It looks incredible. It did.

Yeah, but you didn't go though. How did you enjoy it? It is 8.15 on your Wednesday morning. Now, a couple of weeks time, we're going to be embarking on something pretty epic for an amazing cause. Kids Can help out so many New Zealand kids around the country. We're going to be doing 24 hours

of handball. How to Dad, Jordan, and Jono and myself are going to be trying to play handball, you know, the game four square handball that kids have been playing for many years, for 24 hours with a rotating fourth person, which could include you from time to time, Megan. Yeah, I love it. It's like Jono and Ben doing this,

but somehow I've been roped into it too, but you're right, it is for a good cause. Yeah, and if you want to help out as well you can text a nine kid text kids to 933 to instantly donate three dollars or visit kidscanball.org.nz and to find out more about what kids can do we've got the founder and CEO Julie Chaplin with us this morning good morning Julie good morning how are you we're doing all right now a few weeks time uh Jono, Jono, myself, and howdy, Dad, Jordan, Watson, we're going to be doing 24 Hours of Handball or Kids Can Ball. It's getting closer.

I'm getting nervous about can I do it? Can I go 24 Hours of Handball, Julie? I reckon you can. I think you're going to have lots of support. The country is going to get in behind this. It's for kids that need food, shoes, and clothing. I just think it's going to get in behind this. It's for kids that need food, shoes, and clothing. I just think it's going to be amazing, and I believe you guys have absolutely got the stamina

to keep it going for 24 hours. What Julie is trying to say is do it for the kids, Ben. Do it for the kids. I mean, it's an awesome, you know, Kids Can is such an awesome organisation. Now, you started that. What gave you the idea? Oh, look, I had heard through different media reports,

especially around back-to-school time, that a lot of kids struggled with those basics, and so they were starting behind the eight ball in terms of getting to school and a position to learn. I felt that was really unfair. I didn't come from a wealthy family, but I had everything I needed when I was growing up. You know, enough food, decent pair of shoes,

one of those very awful power rubber yellow raincoats. Yeah. I think we all remember those if we're of a certain age. But at least I had all those things. And when I learned that thousands and thousands of kids in New Zealand don't, I realized that that would have an impact on their education. And education equals opportunity. So we started the organization to provide those essentials

so kids can just get to school, learn, and get on with the business of being kids. But it was a pretty humble beginning, right? How did Kids Can start with you? Yeah, well, it started in my garage. Look, we started out doing, you know, food, little bits of food, raincoats and different shoes. And now we have grown into an organisation that supports more than a thousand schools and early childhood centres. We've seen a huge increase in the number of children needing our food support.

So, you know, right now Kids Can's providing 60,000 Kiwi kids a day with food support across, you know, hundreds of schools, and that's up 10,000 on the year before. Do you have, you know, a lot of people come up to you and sort of talk to you about having gone through, you know, having help from Kids Can and, you know, what it's helped them to go on to achieve? Yeah, I mean, because we've been around now for 18 years,

we're now starting to see more and more, you know, younger adults and their sort of 20s coming to us and telling us about how much, you know, a simple pair of shoes made a difference. It meant they could go on trips, it meant they could participate in classes like woodwork, you know, all the things that you need a decent pair of shoes to be able to do. And it just made them feel like they were part of the rest of the group and not sitting on the sidelines and wondering you know what it would be like to do those things it's an awesome thing a thing that you're doing if you go right now to actually kidscampbell.org.nz what what i think is really good is you've sort of broken it down so people could donate ten dollars helps uh provide

a week of breakfast for one child then you can get $30 help support a child for a month and it sort of goes up from there so people can see where that money is going towards and can donate as little as much as they can give absolutely and we have you know over 200 schools and early childhoods waiting for our support right now so every little bit that someone contributes whether it's the $10 or whether it's more, is going to get us closer to our goal of being able to take more kids off the waiting list and get those things to them. So we're just saying, come on, New Zealand, just get in behind it, get in behind you guys. It's going to be a hard road, but I know you guys

can do it. Too late to say that. I've got something else. I've got Endel Netball on one of those nights. I might have to get out of that one, I guess. Well, you've got an injury. Yeah. Julie, it's a wonderful thing you're doing. We're very proud to be part of this, and hopefully we can help bring a lot of money in

to help out a whole lot of Kiwi kids with you. Thank you so much. Really looking forward to it. And if you want to text again, KIDS to 933, you can instantly donate $3 or head to kidscampbell. Thank you so much. Really looking forward to it. And if you want to text again, kids to 933, you can instantly donate $3 or head to kidscampbell.org.nz to donate more. The Jono and Ben Podcast.

I started watching the Adam Sandler Spaceman movie while I was homesick as well. It's on Netflix. Not like comedy, not if you're expecting Happy Gilmore or that sort of thing. Is it serious? It's a bit serious, but then all weird, like there's a giant spider that's part of his

imagination. Are you sure that wasn't your fever? Well, that's what I started to wonder. I was like, maybe I'll come back to this because last week, if you didn't know, I hurt my arm at the gym, kind of swelled up, and then I got an infection from it, and long story short, ended up in the A&E with full-on fever and IV drips and going in night by night. Initially, you just had it in a sling. And everyone's asking you.

And you're like, oh, I just heard it at the gym. Playing it down. And then it started to swell up. It's hard when people keep asking you the same question over and over, too. And everyone sees your arm. They're like, what happened with you? You're like, here I go. I've got to tell this story again.

Yeah, because I joked about getting you a T-shirt being like, it's a gym jury because everyone was just constantly asking you. I was getting sick of hearing the answer. I know. I was getting sick of telling it. But then I ended up getting really sick, actually, literally sick and ending up with full-on fevers and, you know, in at the A&E. So my gym injury started, you know, a bit more comical

and then ended up with me. I felt like we couldn't make jokes anymore because, yeah, we were quite worried about you. So we want to know this morning on 100 The Hits of 4487 how you injured yourself or even embarrassed yourself at the gym because it happens, it's a place, you know, you're kind of trusted to go in there and use a whole lot of equipment that maybe you don't really know what to use. Yeah, I was going to say most of the time we don't know

and you feel like an idiot looking at the directions on how to use something. But I actually decided I was going to be a runner one time and went on the treadmill and I hurt my hip. They called it like a labral tear. So the little cup that holds your hip, it got a tear in it. And then they found out I had hip dysplasia. So I ended up getting like full pelvis surgery. And I was like, see, not meant to run.

I'm actually not meant to run. Pelvis surgery? Yeah, they disconnected my pelvis and realigned it because I decided I was going to be a runner. Jeez, are you a runner now? The doctor literally said to me, you know, some people are just not made to run. I was like, I need that in writing for even more.

So you're not running these days? Nah, it's not for me. Jono's had, once when we went overseas with him, when we were like, when you're in a different time zone, you were like, oh, well, should we go to sleep? No, let's try and push through, stay awake. Let's go to the hotel, had a gym we were staying at. And I was running next to him on the treadmill.

Next thing you know, he went sliding out the back, straight out, smashed into some weights and all sorts. I'm like, what's going on there? He's like, I think I just fell asleep. That's wild. I was like, how do you fall asleep on a treadmill? But he did that. So he had a jimjury.

A jimjury. Yeah, sounds like something out of Mary Poppins right now. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. I'm talking gym injuries this morning to try and make me feel a little bit better about how mine really, really escalated. I remember Jono accidentally left a treadmill on. He's had a lot of shockers with treadmills, actually. Accidentally left one going in the gym.

And let me guess, a woman got on it and she flew out the back? She did. Yeah, you may have told that story. Yeah, I know. It was a horrible, horrible situation to have to happen. I think it was on like cool down mode or something, I think, but it was still good. Was she okay? I think she was okay, yeah, but it's one of those things you feel a little rattled and

you kind of just want to walk it off, right? Treadmills are pretty dangerous considering they just do one thing. Yeah. So we want to know, Jim injuries on 0800 The Hits this morning. I think we've got Sharon. Sharon, good morning. What happened to you? Oh, well

I was showing my friend how to do a medicine ball slam and I thought I had a medicine ball but it wasn't one of the heavy ones. It was a bouncy kind of a black ball and so I gave it a good slam into the floor and it immediately

came up very fast into my mouth. Oh no! Was your friend like i'll say how i'll say how you do it my lip was pretty numb but gee it was funny that's the worst thing is when you're showing someone this is how you do it yeah just watch this and you're like oh really is that how you do it yeah yeah uh sharon we're gonna hook you up with some hell pizza all right oh awesome yeah which is you know it doesn't work quite as well with the gym situation, but hey, you've got everything in moderation, right? Yeah, yeah, balance out.

Out of all of the pizzas, it's probably the most complimentary to a gym workout, I think. Exactly, so good. Debbie, good morning. How are you? Yeah, not too bad. Just walking on my treadmill, getting in a bit of rest.

Oh, you actually are. Oh, you're doing it as we speak. Your gym, while we talk about the gym, how far are you going today? Oh, no, I only go about 2.5 miles, which is about, oh, I don't know what it is. It's over half an hour anyway. Oh, you've gone miles? Yeah, that's all good.

That's good. Isn't that almost five? No, I can't change the settings. It's a mile. Well, hopefully we don't cause a gym injury while we're talking to you about gym injuries. But you had something embarrassing happen to you. Not quite an injury, but maybe it was more an injury to your self-esteem. Well, yeah, it was an all-girls school of all things.

I went to a handstand and PE, physical education, which was compulsory. And my teacher fell down. The interesting thing is the teacher was actually the daughter of a friend of my grandmother's. Okay. Okay. You always remember you're supposed to tuck in the front. Tuck in the front of your shirt before you do the handstand. We weren't told that. I had a very similar thing happen to me in PE back at school.

We were filming, like you had to film doing strokes, swimming in the water. And I dived in and my baggy shorts kind of fell down at the back and I was sort of halfway through trying to pull up my shorts to not reveal too much of my bottom as I swam. And they were filming it as well too because everyone was going to analyse your stroke later and I was like, this is not good.

They were analysing something else. Yeah, this is not good. Yeah. Sorry, we'll hold you up, Debbie, because you're in the middle of running miles, not kilometres, but anyway. I'm actually talking to you on speaker. And you're not even puffing.

I'm so impressed. I've done an incline as well, but I'm speaking. Get it, Debbie. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Just being a Megan with you this morning, Jono, always sick. But someone in Australia, they're putting on a dinner party for their friends. Apparently, they've got good jobs, well-earning jobs. And they said, hey, can you help us cover the costs

of what we're spending for dinner? Steak was a little bit more than we thought, and everyone's like, okay, what's it going to cost? $100 each is what this lady's asked for. $100 each, that's so expensive. Especially if you turn up as a couple, that's $200. It's $200 dinner. I could go out for dinner somewhere nice and pay less.

I love the article that's like, the friends are like, we all did it, but we all thought it was the best team. So they've all paid a hundred bucks each, gone over and said it was lovely. The trouble is you don't want to be the one friend out of your friend group that doesn't turn up because everyone knows why. Like, you don't want to be the one person that says no.

Yeah. I always hate the fact when you go out for a dinner and it's like the group, the group situation can be like, if it's, sometimes it's well organized. Other times it's just shambles. We were at like a pub the other day and we were there and we had a tab and then other people turned up and they were putting it, oh, we'll just chuck it on the tab, you know, and then groups and then people leaving at different times.

I'm like, this is a shambles. And you never want to be the last person leaving because you definitely have to pick up what everyone else forgot. And then someone goes, oh, we'll just get some chips. I'm like, whose chips are they? Are they for us? Are we sharing the the chips who's paying for the chips should i have a chip and yeah wound up by a situation like that especially at dinner when everyone's like oh we'll just split the bill and i'm like oh oh okay will we you know like and everyone's like oh it'll all even out in the end but i don't know i feel like it's the people ordering like like like Jono, six Heinekens to

my one Heineken. Yeah, I hate that. That he'll be like, it all evens out in the end. I'm like, well does it? Does it really? Yeah. So I'm like. I won't be doing that when we go out for dinner.

Just pay for yourself, it's easier. Yeah. I mean, you're a little bit of give and take, you don't want to be a Scrooge, but. It better been like a Wagyu beef that was like living on a lifestyle block, sung to sleep at night, you know.
