Jono and Ben, new to your mornings. Friends of Skinny, New Zealand's most recommended telco. Happy, happy, happy, oh, oh. The Hits, with Jono and Ben, New Zealand's breakfast. A lot of people have been in lockdown and you have to be resourceful, don't you, when you're in lockdown? I know those in Level 2. You maybe had to do this when you were in Level 3 and 4. Home beauty treatments, too. Yeah. Have you been home beauty treating yourself?

Not this time around you've been giving me grief about the fact they haven't had a haircut in a long time for me yeah so it's the longest i've seen you here i know it's probably the longest it's been for for a while but it's still not actually that long really when you think about it it's not i've given like i've never really been a home beauty i try to proxide my hair when i was going through an eminem phase it didn't work that well. Yeah, I did the same with lemon juice and ginola on a home job. Jeez.

Yeah, I might speak volumes as to the state of my hair now, actually. That's why it all fell out. Here's the results. I did try, you know, when Jonah Loma was one of my heroes, he had that, the number 11 he would have on his eyebrow. That was like, and I was like, oh, I should do this. But I kind of messed up the first one, so I did it and it and then i was like oh it looks like one one one like i didn't realize the first one was as noticeable until afterwards i was like oh that

looks like an emergency situation i'm a fan of the emergency services if anyone's in a situation just look at my eyebrow you know the number to call uh then you died then you had a uh what i like to label an ell DeGeneres phase, where he dyed his hair blonde. Did you ever see Ben in his? I did, I did. I was thinking about doing that again. Really?

I was thinking about doing that again. You're going to go again? I mean, really? Yeah, interesting. The old Draco Mel for years. I was thinking, why not? Okay, fine, okay, fine. Just me.

That's cool. Wasn't your hair pink at one stage too? Look, I did go through a phase of, yeah. That's it back i did you know like yeah what stupidly like you know looking back you're like what was i thinking no julia you did some home beauty treatments on your dad dave yeah yeah back in the day um when my sister and i were still living at home dad once wanted he doesn't have a hairy back but it's got lots of sort of straggly bits like it's quite long hairs and he was like Jillian Henn I need you to wax my back and my shoulders just so you know in summer I can show off my yep my back um and so bringing sexy back for summer and so we

laid him on the couch and I think we only got two strips done because he couldn't handle the pain um it was just like at home wax that you buy from the supermarket. He also gets me to do his eyebrows occasionally because he's got some grey hairs in there. Dave will be loving this, won't he? Davey, my fax daughter. You know this goes nationwide, eh? Yeah, I know.

Don't worry, Dave, you're looking great. He's also got a drinking problem and you're really going to expose all his skeletons. This is not the therapy. Yeah. As much as it feels like it. I, in all honesty, have never waxed myself not for comical radio prank purposes.

Everything's been a radio, and so I've always ended up with patches of hair missing, you know, from like singing songs and ripping wax strips off and things like that. You got your eyebrows like shaved for not for comical purposes though remember? Unintentionally yeah. It was just before the day we were hosting the music awards. I was like I'll go to

the barber and the barber was like shaving my head and he's like do you want me to shave your eyebrows? He said it in a tone where this was like a custom that takes place every day. You had an option there to go no no, I'm fine, thanks. That's a nice offer.

I know, but you trust him. He's the professional. I met you coming back in and I was like, is something the problem? And then I was like, yeah. You've got no eyebrows. I'm surprised. I couldn't tell how you look because your eyebrows weren't there.

He shaved the back like it was almost a zero. And then he ended the process like, that's better. I feel like he was pranking me. Yeah, but anyway, you'll do some stuff. Home beauty treatments, that's what we, you know where we're heading. You're listening to this. You know where this is going.

Yeah, has it gone wrong? Yeah, we don't really want the stories of it going right. The more enjoyable ones are the ones that went wrong, right? 0800 the hits is the telephone number. 4487, have you prison-pierced yourself at home? Has tanning gone wrong? Dying? Whatever.

Shaving? Waxing? Jono and Ben, the hits. We'll get to Sonia from Auckland. Morena, Sonia, how are you going? Hi, I'm good, thanks. How are you going? Yeah, the HBT's, the home beauty treatment's gone wrong.

What happened? Oh, well, this was actually something that happened at the actual laser clinic last year, and it was so embarrassing. So basically, I was getting laser done on my face, and so that's permanent hair removal for those who don't know. And so while they're shooting the laser beam on you, you're actually wearing these really huge protective glasses. So you can't actually see where they're lasering, but you can feel it.

And so midway, the lady was kind of just beeping away. And all of a sudden I feel something really, really close to my eye. And so at this point, I'm thinking to myself, did she just yank my eyebrow off? And then she stopped and then there was such a long pause. So I'm panicking and I'm assuming she's panicking. And so like any normal person, I ask why she stopped. And she goes, oh, nothing to worry about, dear,

just trying to get those stubborn little hairs um but long story short we wrapped up i saw my face before i left and um yeah the end of one of my eyebrows had been lasered off she lays it off your eyebrow pretty much and it was so short and i did not want to be a karen and credits so i kind of just left but it was the most embarrassing thing ever and like for three months My eyebrow had not grown back So I was pretty much just drawing on the end of my eyebrow Every morning

I love that mentality Don't be a carrot Don't be a carrot Such a New Zealand thing You've literally got no eyebrows I don't want to make a fuss Don't complain Hey wonderful how was it?

It's great It was significantly shorter as well So yeah it was the most embarrassing thing ever But always in those situations They're like, we'll give you a voucher. Oh, great. So I can come back and get my eyebrows lasered off again in three months? Yeah, exactly. Like, my hair's not going to grow back.

But, yeah, thanks for the free session. Hey, well, good on you, Sonia. Good work. Great work. Great call. Tremendous. Thanks, Trump. As my friend Donald Trump would say.

We'll get Tessa on the phone. Welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast. Oh, it's our old mate Tessa. How are you? Hi, darling. How are our old mate Tessa. How are you? Hi, darlings. How are you? I'm good. How are you?

Yeah, I'm pretty damn fine. Thank you very much. Beauty treatment's gone wrong. Tess, what happened to you, mate? When I was about 12, everybody had really, really, so this was a really long time ago, everybody had really, really, really skinny eyebrows. So I got my dad's razor and I shaved off my eyebrows.

And because they were really blonde, nobody knew that I had them. Hold on, your dad's laser? No, razor. Oh, razor. Is your dad Dr. Evil? Laser. My dad would have had fun with that, that's for sure. Oh, good on you, Tess.

Really appreciate it. Thank you very much for all your calls and texts this morning. Great stuff. I mean, the rule of thumb in life, you know, if there's a professional to do it, chances are they're probably going to do it better than you are. Apart from that laser lady. Yeah.

She's the exception to the rule. But then you'll get a voucher, so that's all good. Tested safe for listening from home. Keep safe. And that's all I have to say Thanks Dr Ashley New Zealand's breakfast I too went through some old stuff

In the weekend and I wasn't going to It was one of those moments where you're going through a box and you're like And you know you just Shudder with embarrassment at your former self Fun thing about radio is We don't have to tell these stories We can hold some level of credibility but you're gonna go what's this and even now i'm like why am i telling this because

i just i put it i put it in the bin i got rid of it shut it away from my memory i don't put it in the bin i got rid of it so what i did uh many years ago there was a video with ll cool j the rapper and uh he had a very the guy from ncis yeah he's an actor as well and he had a very cool uh necklace in the video. And it was a necklace. And it was probably very expensive. It was gold. And then it had like a key underneath it.

And I had to tie a man to it. And I remember looking at that as a young up-and-coming boy going, he looks cool. Geez, he looks cool in that. I mean, his name's LL Cool J. I mean, that's... Yeah, he's very cool. Yeah, I know.

But you're... You're BB Lame Jay. You're not LL Cool J. Please don't tell me you had a necklace. So I wanted to get a necklace like that, and I looked, and I was around the jewellery stores, and you couldn't find anything like that, so I had to improvise.

So I had to put together the necklace myself. I can't believe I'm telling this. Did you swing down to Mr. Minute? So that's what I did. And I remember buying a key, like a gold-looking key. Obviously it wasn't real gold. The guy was like, do you want it cut? And I was like, no, no.

He's like, okay. Was it just a key for like your Lockwood sort of door? Or was it like an old style? Yeah, it was a key. A skeleton key. Yeah, but it was a key for it. Yeah, it was gold. It was gold.

I was like, no. Mate, I don't need this cut to open up ladies' hearts. So I got this, oh God, I can't believe I'm saying this out loud. And I got this key and then I went to like Pascoe's or Jewelry and got a goldish necklace to put around the key. And I remember wearing it a couple of times over summer thinking, this is cool. And then looking at myself in the mirror going what

are you doing put yourself together put it away and i put it away and i found it and then over the weekend when i was going through some old stuff i was like oh my god and i got rid of it but then but your nike call went oh let's embarrass myself i was like what was i thinking do you reckon ll did that as well hop down to the old mall buddy key cutter LL grabbed one of those Swung by the Michael Hill Didn't you buy some giant Golden hoop earrings Around about the same era as well

And you wore those Did you have your ears pierced? I had one of my ears pierced And my dad, Kevin, was like They were too big It was fine to have an ear pierced But they were too big I would have thought that Jono would be the one

To have his ear pierced Out of both of you You had one pier have thought that Jono would be the one to have his ear pierced out of both of you. You had one pierced. I did, yeah. Oh, did you? Oh, God. Yeah, I had some prison. But they were like, you know, you put an ice cube on your earlobe

and put a needle through. Oh, did you yourself, did you? Yeah, shocking idea. I've still got a big, giant bit of gristle in there from the infection. You know, prison piercing not. Dad took it back to Pascoe's Because it was too big there He was like, look, I'm a pirate You look like a pirate

Welcome to Two Half-Assed Dads Do a Half-Assed Job. Official title, Tuno and Ben, New Zealand's Breakfast. Now I was just talking about myself. We're at the regrettable fashion trend, a fashion thing that I try to pull off. If you missed it moments ago, Ben Boyce used to roll around the big smoker and an LL Cool J inspired gold necklace with a skeleton key hanging off it. Yeah, not for very long. It was for a good time, not for a long time.

No, it was not a good time. He confused both the people at Mr. Minute in the mall and Pascoe's Jewelers as to what he was doing, what jewelry he was creating. But how long did you stick with it? Not long. I think twice. You lost confidence early. Imagine if LL lost confidence that early.

Yeah, but there's a new fashion trend I'm just reading about. So celebrities like Hailey Bieber, Dua Lipa, Bella Hadid. It's called the naked cardigan. Have you heard about this, Producer Juliet? No. So basically, here are the rules. The rules are these. You wear a cardigan and you wear about this, Producer Juliet? No. So basically, here are the rules. The rules are these. You wear a cardigan

and you wear nothing underneath. Those are the rules. Right. Ah, yes. Very fashionable. My grandmother did it for decades. For the naked cardigan. Things were swinging out of the bottle.

Yeah, so it's a naked cardigan. You're feeling a bit deary. The part she was tucking into her pockets. So the naked cardigan. Yeah, too far. Rest in peace, Grandma. You and your naked cardigan. So there's a fashion trend that...

But the cardigans go down to your navel a lot of the time. Yeah, so you kind of reveal a little... It's quite honest. Yeah, you do. Too much sternum. navel a lot of the time. You kind of reveal a little, you know. It's quite honest, yeah. Yeah, you do. Too much sternum. There's a lot going on there, but that's the new thing. If I Google the naked cardigan, will it be okay? Sounds like something you do in university.

Have you done the naked cardigan yet? No, well, yeah, well, apparently it's a thing. It's a new fashion trend, and a lot of the celebrities are doing it. It's going to come up. It's fine. It's fine. It's the naked cardigan. Yeah, so there you go. So cardigan with nothing underneath, done with

a button up and stuff is the new trend. Too much scope for stuff to go wrong with a naked cardigan, isn't there? It does. You're placing a lot of trust in your fellow human being not to unbutton the naked cardigan, pull it down off your shoulders. Yeah, I know.

Hopefully not. Hopefully no one's going up and doing this in 2021. Well, I've never unbuttoned a cardigan. I'm just saying that that could happen. Want more Jono and Ben?
