Episode Date: November 8, 2020

Hello hello and welcome to another Monday! Today we spoke to someone who met Trump prior to his presidency and he gave us all the goss about what he was like in person. Ben's daughter also got muddled up with some body parts, calling one part of her body something that only men have, not realising what she had said! And we had some fantastic calls on the funny things your kids have said. We also discussed the hilarious times that technology has screwed you over.

Rolling. 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. Welcome to the podcast on your Monday morning. Well, it's probably not your Monday morning when you're listening to the podcast, but it is for us. It could be your Monday afternoon, or if you're a few weeks behind on the podcast, it could be the middle of October on a Thursday evening. That's true. Who's to say when you should listen to the podcast? They'll be horrifically out of date topically, wouldn't they,

if you're listening in the beginning of October? Yeah, you're right. Some stuff's happened since October. They date, don't they? Well, at the moment, everyone's talking about the US election. It looks like Joe Biden's going to be the 46th president of the United States. Yeah, wonderful fireworks display, too, from Biden. I don't know if you saw that in his speech yesterday.

I was watching that live on CNN. Beautiful. I couldn't figure out. I don't know if you saw them, because they had 46 in the sky. Oh, with fireworks? But I couldn't tell if it was fireworks or some witchcraft or the graphics person at the TV put them on. Because then there were fireworks exploding around it, but the 46 wasn't moving. And I was like, some money's gone into this.

You know, this is a lot of planning. And I imagine at least a $5 million fireworks display. Money well spent. Money well spent. His first job as president is to try, how do we write that off? Spent quite a lot of the fireworks display. Today on the show, though, we talked to someone who spent an afternoon with Donald Trump. What was that like?

Yeah, two hours with the Trump in his office. I know, in his office, in the boardroom as well, in Trump Towers. This is before he had a run at president, but very interesting stuff about how he is and what happened up there. His hygiene, too. He's a bit of a germaphobe. And his handshaking style, too. Powerful. As you would imagine.

Although I did notice on there, I was watching that Trump show, because you recommended that. Watching that on TVNZ On Demand. I noticed with Kim Jong-un, Trump would always go with the underhanded hand. And Kim's hand was always on top. Yeah, well, when you're shaking the hand of a dictator who has nuclear missiles ready to go at any moment. You're like, you're going underneath. Okay, is that what you're doing? I'll go underneath.

I've never had that opportunity. Okay. Well, there you go. Enjoy that and more on the podcast. The Songy Corn Flakes of Radio. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Now, as parents, there's always those occasions where your kids come up with something that make you laugh. Your kid says, what?

Basically, it's what I want to know this morning on 0800 The Hits because the other day one of my daughters said something to me. Now, I don't want to be rude here on the show, but this is, it's the proper term. And this is what she said. So she came up to me. Well, she got the term wrong, but for starters. So one of my daughters came up and said, oh, I've had a bit of a headache all day. I was like, oh, that's not good.

Where's it been hurting? And she sort of put her hands on both sides of her head. She said, right up here in my testicles. While holding the top of her forehead. Silly girl, they're by your elbows. That's your temples. She's like, oh, yeah, of course, your temples. Don't actually have.

Oh, yeah, no. So we kind of got into one of those situations where, yeah, of course. So your temples don't actually have... Oh, yeah, no. So we kind of got into one of those situations where, yeah, totally got the wrong word for the occasion. So 0800, that's your kids saying, what? There are those occasions. It doesn't have to be rude stuff where your kids just blurts out something because you've said it before.

Kids don't have a filter. They don't have a filter and they can't read a room. They are not good at reading a room. I always get nervous because sometimes we get to one of your daughters in here to interview someone and you're like, she'll just say anything we write down on paper. She'll just literally, we could write any question. It could be the most offensive

question ever. If it's tanking, they'll just keep going. They'll just keep going. I'll just keep reading this. No gauge for awkwardness. No gauge for offending people. They'll just keep mowing through. Someone, a parent I caught up with over the weekend said their kid asked

what is a humanitarian and the dad was like oh it's someone who you know does good things for people and then they said well up until now I thought it was

someone who ate humans a vegetarian humanitarian you can see how they ended up there you're like oh this is a very unusual thing to be going,

what, I don't do that person for. 0800, that's the number, 4487. What did your kids say? We'd love to hear from you this morning. Help make the nation laugh on a Monday morning. Let's go to Ada Hill in Hamilton. Welcome. How are you?

Hi, I'm good, thank you. Yeah, kids no filter. Hashtag. Have I done that around the right way? I don't know. What happened? So my daughter came to me one day and she said, Mum, Zachary said something really inappropriate.

And I was like, what did he say? She said he comes from his mum's penis. And I was like, what? No, she said, no, we don't have penises. You're really shouting that word. She was really shouting it. I was like,'re really shouting. Yeah, she was really shouting. I was like, yep, I'm sending an update to the neighbours. Love your call, mate.

Thank you very much. Thank you. Have a great day out of here. Appreciate it. Thank you. Someone's texted in here too, 4487. I was making candy floss with the kids, and my youngest said, oh, was it allowed, Annie?

And I asked why, and he replied, because you're a little bit fat. Oh, fat shaming. I'll be a, was it allowed, Annie? And I asked why, and he replied, because you're a little bit fat. Oh, fat shaming. I'll be a kid. No filter, eh? But at what age do they realise that, okay, that isn't okay? Yeah. Ruth, you're on the air.

Welcome. How are you? I'm good, thanks. Kids, no filter. What happened? No filter at all. Just one morning, my son, I just wake up, and he comes in, and he's like, good morning, my good woman.

What the hell? I was like, where did that come and he comes in and he's like, good morning, my good woman. What the hell? Where did that come from? Top of the morning to you, my laddie? My good woman. That was fantastic. Your kids got obsessed with commercials, didn't they, Ben? Oh, yes, because we never had proper free-to-air TV for a while when Sienna was born, and then we finally got it with the ads,

and it blew her mind. We went to the supermarket, and she was like, dad, dad. I was like, what? We need to get Vanish Gold. It removes all the stains and she was like, Dad, Dad! I was like, what? We need to get Vanish Gold. It removes all the stains. I was like, it's effective or not? You're like, wow, you know the whole ad. It was like... Moves 99 out of 100 stains. Put some chocolate in the cart or something.

Not trying to get through Vanish Gold. Ruth, you're a legend. You have a great day. There we go. We'll go to Stacey, shall we? And the Waikato is joining us on 0800 The Hits. Welcome, Stacey. Hi, how are you? Yeah, kids, no filter.

What happened? We were in the car a couple of weeks ago and they were talking about legalising cannabis on the radio. Yeah. And some thought they were looking at legalising cannibalism. He was quite worried about that. That's next election. We've got a referendum for that one.

David Seymour's going to get another referendum. Thank you very much for your call. Appreciate it. Remember to double pump the virgals. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. You'll know Tim Wilson from great pieces on 7 Sharp, also on Newstalk ZB, and now he's the executive director of the Maxim Institute.

Good morning, Tim. How are you doing? Morning, guys. Great to be with you. Morning, Tim. Lovely to hear your dulcet tones on a Monday. What a way to start a week. Now, before we get into what we wanted to talk about as well,

what is the Maxim Institute? The Maxim Institute, it's basically a think tank, and it cares about New Zealand. It's devoted to the dignity of every Kiwi and how it can be advanced, how it can be improved. It's the kind of place where you meet the board of directors and afterwards one of them peels off and says, oh, I've got to go and help out at a food bank.

So it's super duper to be working there. Oh, that's awesome thing you're doing. Doing good things for the community. Nice one, Tim. Yeah, thank you, guys. Now, in 2008, you interviewed Donald Trump in his New York office. It was surreal. It was probably one of the most surreal times in the States because you're there on sort of nearby Fifth Avenue

and they bring you in through a freight elevator and you go up. It's like being sucked up a piece of, you know, you feel like you're a piece of Lego being sucked up a vacuum cleaner and you find yourself in this gold, gilded, elaborate sort of environment, and there, all six foot two, and sort of bigger than life, coming towards you is Donald Trump. Wow.

So is there a lot of gold? I imagine, because I've heard rumours of a gold lavatory previously. Can we hit the hard questions? Is there a gold toilet in the office tim wilson mate you've gone there far too quickly but i cannot confirm i'm sorry to say about that i wish i wish i could i wish i could but when you meet donald trump he comes at you and he's so big and um because he's substantial as well he's not he's not a skinny winnie uh and and then you really put out a hand and you realise his hands aren't quite as big as the rest of them. And he grasps your hand and he does the power shake.

You know the shake where you flip it and he's on top? And boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. He would go on top. Is it a firm grip from those little hands? Well, it's a firm grip but the weird thing is, and I only learned this later, he's a germaphobe. He doesn't like shaking hands.

So it's kind of an insight into, because I was like, I was, you know, I was pushing back because it's like, oh, well, everyone likes to shake hands. Hi, I'm from New Zealand. Ha-dee-ha. Here's this New Yorker who hates germs, hates shaking hands, but to prove a point, he's making the handshake last longer than you would ever, ever want or need. How many seconds were you engaged in a shake with Donald Trump? It was far, far too long.

It's all over me. Don't let me go. I found some other things interesting because you wrote a very good article that I read online. So there was lots of photos of Donald Trump with celebrities. His office was filled with heaps of paper, like so much A4 paper. And you interviewed him on a massive boardroom table, which seemed enormous. Yeah, it was huge.

And guess what? It was glass, but it was sort of slightly golden glass. And the table, I felt like, you know, the table was as big as Spark Arena. I'm down one end and he's down the other. And because, again, I realize this now the germ thing he didn't want to be too close for me to me pardon me usually when you're doing a a sit down interview you'll sit sort of quite close face to face but he was on the other side of the table

and we sort of shouted at each other the thing about his office is this is someone again is supposed to be immensely self-confident you, I don't care what people think of me. Lots of pictures of him with celebrities from the 80s, people who you got, well, I think we all remember Magic Johnson. Yeah, basketballer, yeah. Yeah, yeah, but sort of people like that, you know, people who have sort of like had their time

and it's gone, all around the office, autographed, him shaking hands with them, and all in these little gilt frames. So the gold theme continues all the way. So what did you guys talk about? Like you and Donald Trump, this is obviously before he was president or made a run at president. So what did you talk about back then?

Yeah, it was about, I mean, he was sort of like a success merchant, right? So he wrote a book called The Art of a Deal, the sort of the high life of Donald Trump, Private Jet, etc. So we talked a lot about success. I really can't remember too much about the interview. I do remember going in, you know when someone said, because he didn't want us to go and film in the office, and this is his he's got very, very faithful secretaries. He's like, you cannot film in Mr. Trump's office. No, no, no.

And then he invites us into the office. And it's a pink sky. It's like I could not believe it. It's like we've done this big chat in the boardroom the size of Spark Arena about how successful you are. The building is successful. And it's like, here's your office. And the paper is piled up. And it didn't work out well because, like, we went back about three months later to get a quote on something

and the word was, Mr. Trump did not like your piece. Oh, really? Now, how would you describe his character, his personality? What was he like? Was he charming, charismatic, standoffish? Yeah, this is the thing. And I think we sort of missed this watching from afar in person. Now, Donald Trump is a New York real estate guy, right?

Yeah. What they are is they'll point at a broken toilet sitting in the middle of a pile of rubble, and they'll go, look at the possibilities. Can you believe this? It's going to be the best, most beautiful. And Donald Trump is like that. So he talks everything up. He can be very funny.

He, you know, it's a sort of, they have this, what is it, a kind of muscular charm. Like, it's like a real estate agent on steroids because that's what those New York property guys are like. So he's amusing. He draws you in. He tells stories. And then, and then he ejects you. He spits you out. The Donald has had enough of you.

Oh, Tim Wilson, very fascinating. Really do appreciate your time, Tim, and all the best for the new venture, Independent Charitable Trust, Maxim Institute. Sounds like a really great thing for New Zealand. Awesome, thanks for the call. Catch you later, love the show. Serving bowls of loels for breakfast.

Actual loels may not be served. It's Jono and Ben on the heads. It's time for the big news. Small towns. Well, this is the sort of big quirky news that we like on the big news, right? Yeah, it is. Both birds, although one person you were saying online says it looks less like Donald Trump and more like Boris Johnson.

Yeah, it does. He's a very dishevelled looking bird, isn't he? Boris Johnson just must wake up every morning and go, that'll do, when he looks in the mirror. But these sort of birds, yeah, so they're yellow birds and they've got, yeah, messy sort of hair. They do look a bit like Donald Trump. This is Making News and we're on hold to the pet store

in Invercargill right now. I think Nicola's with us or we're waiting for Nicola. We're another quirky radio station wanting to talk about this quirky news. Okay, I'll go and get the girls. Okay, there we go. Thank you. We're on hold. Probably behind more Okay, I'll go and get the girls. Okay, there we go. Thank you. We're on hold.

Probably behind Maury of here, I think. Yeah, that's all right. Breeze may be in front of us. Hosking, Mike Hosking, it's probably not really a Mike Hosking thing, even though it's political, it's probably not. Yeah, Don, Megan, Randall

might be sitting in the queue. Yeah, they're probably in the queue right now. Fletch and Vaughan might be in there as well. Yeah, they might be there. Yeah, so I don't know where we're sitting. You're number six in the line. Your call is important to us. Please hold the line.

Manjeri? Oh, yeah. That might be something that sparks your interest. RNZ? It's a race for quirky news on the radio. You know, you see someone got that, you're like, oh, this is great. Sorry, guys, she's just on another call. That's all right.

It's probably Fletch, Vaughan and Megan or Maura Femme or something, right? No, it's actually an inquiry about animals. She's actually just doing her job. Okay, fair enough. She has just done her job. We'll wait, that's fine. Okay, cool, hold on. So this is Johnna and Ben from the radio.

Hello, Lauren speaking. Hey Lauren, don't say, oh, no. We can hear you. Oh, what? Yeah, you need to definitely mute the phone when you start saying, oh, no. Sorry. Oh, no, we heard the oh, no, but that's all right. We would say oh, no as well.

We probably thought there's been a lot of radio stations calling you. We apologize up front about it, but it's just the sort of quirky news we can't avoid. Yeah. You're Donald Trump. You're Donald Trump. Oh, Your Donald Trump, your Donald Trump. Our Donald Trump birds, yeah. Well, one looks like someone's put in the comments on the article, looks more like Boris Johnson's sort of hairstyle.

Yeah, I did see that. Yeah, which I thought was quite apt as well. Boris Johnson is probably the most dishevelled of all the world leaders. Yeah, true. He always looks like he's just been caught having an affair. Yeah, he's like, oh, I didn't expect you guys to put the cameras on me. But anyway, when did you notice these birds look like world leaders? Oh, probably quite shortly after they came in.

They're very, very strange looking. And I can see the similarities as well. You know, sometimes you see these stories in the odd news section. It's like, my piece of toast burned like Mother Teresa. Look, it's Mother Teresa, is it? Yeah, but yours actually have some resemblance. I do see that. And so have you had much interest from the public following this?

We have had a few people come in just to look at them and laugh, but that's just really about it. Oh, the poor birds. They're going to be complex. Yeah. So what sort of birds are they? So they are called

Gloucester Canaries. Okay. And they make good pets? Yeah. They're reasonably messy. They do sing though. Probably nicer than what Donald Trump would.

Yeah. Ironically, they're in a cage like all the children he put in cages. Oh, hey, hey, hey. That's political. Yeah. Yeah. So you're trying, obviously they're up for sale at all the children he put in cages. Oh, hey, hey, hey. That's political. Yeah.

Yeah. So you're trying, obviously, they're up for sale at the moment. If anyone wants to look after these world-famous birds, they can come and see you. They sure are. Hopefully not, though. Love your work. And I've never even seen your work, but I love it. Oh, thank you so much.

Yeah. What do you do? What do I do? I work in a pet centre. Yeah, I love the work. Love your work. Thank you. Hey, nice chatting to you, and good luck with the birds. a pet centre. I love your work. Thank you. Hey, nice chatting to you, and good luck with the birds.

Thanks so much. See you, mate. Eggs for breakfast. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. We're just having a good old chuckle here, aren't we, in the studio? I was just telling a story about a friend of mine over the weekend. She's got those automatic vacuum cleaners you see on TV. Some of the robotic ones, the circular ones that goes all over the house.

It seems like a great invention. They deal with the vacuum cleaning. You don't have to do any of the hard work. No, so when she's at work, this thing's working away and gets home spotless, spotless floor. But on Friday, it did the same thing. She had set the timer for it to go. But what she had infected in is her dog

who had deposited some business on the kitchen floor, quite a lot of it. But then the vacuum cleaner kicked into action, started the shift, and just smeared it all over the entire house. A smear campaign. A smear campaign. All over the carpet, all over the lino, the bath.

You name a part of the house. That vacuum cleaner goes everywhere. It was everywhere. Oh, no. So technology stitching you up is what we wanted to open up this morning. 4487 on the text, 0800 the hits the telephone number. When you've relied on technology

and it hasn't played the game. I've told you this story before, but it's one of the occasions where technology stitched me up. So I text and predictive text changed. I text to my mother-in-law, long story short, me and my wife, I text. Amanda and I just tooted in the Uber

because we drove past the house, went toot toot. And then the T from the tooted changed to an R. Amanda and I just, in the Uber, I sent that to my mother-in-law as a text. She'd be like, why are you sending me this? And that was on the way to dinner. Well, not even on the way home. I know, so yeah.

So texts, cell phones, computers, the cloud. The cloud gets a lot of people in trouble. What is the cloud? I don't even know what it is. But it's there and it's causing a lot of trouble for people. Let's go to the phones. When technology stitched you up, we'll head to Tony. Welcome, Tony.

You're on New Zealand's Breakfast. What happened? Yes, well, I'm a skill teacher and I usually, like, handwrite out my notes or whatever and then use voice typing. And I tried to one day write Sarah demonstrates and it came up as Sarah's demonic traits. And the kids were like, okay.

It's the satanic lesson this morning, kids. And like the pair checking with another teacher and it just had a big question mark next to it like, is this what you want to say? Demonic traits. Thank you very much, Tony. Appreciate that. Brian, welcome. How's Grey Mouth this morning, my friend?

I'm fine and good. Yeah, good on you. Technology didn't help you out, Brian. What happened? Not the best thing, no. I brought a new phone and had a talks to text feature on it and told the physio about it one night. He didn't believe me.

I said, well, I'll show you. What's this? I went into it and just spoke into it and won't say the exact words, but it was like, get your boobs out, your knickers off. You said, I won't say the exact words, and then you went and said the exact words. No, no.

It gets worse. Okay, well, we've heard. And I said, there you go. Went in and the text messages were sent. I said, yeah, I've sent it to my wife. How was I didn't? I sent it to my 25-year-old daughter. Oh, jeez.

Oh, God. Thank you, Brian. I won't say the exact words, but here are the exact words. I love your text. I love your call, mate. Thank you. And we'll get a Gavin welcome. You're on the air, Gavin.

Technology, when did it stitch you up, my friend? Yeah, when I was young I sent a nude picture to my partner. Well, I believe that it was my partner anyway. My mother-in-law and my partner have the same name. Oh no, Gavin!

No! I sent this picture off, yeah, this is going to go to my partner. And I've got to reply back saying, you do realise this is your mother? Oh, my God. The thing is at the moment now is that she gave me heaps of shit because I said to her, it was a cold day. Love your text, love your call. Gavin, I'm on the line.

We want to send something out for you. You just have to break up, wouldn't you? There's no coming back from that. There's no coming back. Appreciate that. Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime. Just search Jono and Ben on Facebook.

We were just talking about the technology stitching up before 8 o'clock, and you reminded me of our friend who, she went on a date and did the text thing. That's right. So she had just gone on a first date with a guy and they were driving. He was dropping her back home

and she thought she would text her friend while they were driving back going, this date is the worst thing ever. This has just been an abysmal, I'm never going to call him again, just like instant post-analysis feed. I imagine that would happen a wee bit, wouldn't it? You'd give your friends updates. Oh, yeah, absolutely.

Yeah, totally. But then she sent it to him. As he's driving the car. And then she hears the bing bong. And realises, I mean, for me, that's a open the door, roll out of the car moment. Even if you're on the motorway. That's the only option. Or like pick up their phone and just...

It's one of those Samsung exploding phones. Check it out. What's it do that for? You're like, oh, I don't know, I'll buy you a new one. So yeah, thankfully he was a sensible driver. Didn't check it as he was driving but ironically didn't get a reply

back to that text or any replies from that point on that is just so awkward again big campaigner for the suck back feature on the text

come on people I think you can do that on emails now though you've got that on my email now what do you mean what do you do it gives you a little

would you like to undo it's like not long I can't remember it's not even like more like to undo? It's like, it gives, not long. I can't remember. It's not even, like, more than 30 seconds or anything. But you have the option to go, ooh, I'll undo that, you know. Our boss, Todd, can we tell that story or not? I don't know.

No, you can't. I'm going to have to tell it. I'll tell it vaguely now. It was in a conversation with someone, and it was quite heated. Then another group of texts sent, you know. A funny photo. A funny photo. NSFW though.

NSFW. And he had somehow accidentally copied that funny photo and put it on the text of the person he's having a disagreement with. And so it's sitting there and he realises what he's doing but he's holding his finger down on the button. So it hasn't sent yet. You'll be like, oh no. They're not going to appreciate a funny photo right now, are they?

And I think he ended up just throwing his phone in the ocean. Just diving in with it, still holding it. He wasn't near the ocean. He had to get in the car, still holding his phone out the window, drive 5km and then throw it in the ocean. Dive in without digging his finger. It's ruined, but at least the text didn't get sent. Yeah, exactly.

Just like a chocolate milkshake, only white and disappointing. It's Jono and Ben on the hit. Now, one of my daughters had her birthday party in the weekend and for a kid, it's the biggest thing. Oh, geez, how many, you felt like you were planning for six months leading into this? Yeah, I feel like she's like the organisers at Rhythm and Vines.

As soon as one's done, it's like, next year, we've got to start playing for next year already. Yeah, the line-up for next year. Sienna 2021. What's happening? So she had a party over the weekend. And it's awesome. It's awesome to see them just having fun. Because you're at a kid's age, you know.

You don't have to worry about the logistics, the food, the prep, the tidying up. You're just there purely to have fun. It's all fun, no responsibility as a child, isn't it? And they're all in their own little worlds but somehow all congregating together but doing their own thing

mentally. And just a wall of noise. Like just noise. But they had a lot of fun so that was the main thing. Energy levels stay consistently high for the entire time.

Yeah. They had a lot of fun. There was 12 kids. We had 12 kids in the house and so yeah, they're having a huge time. A lot of fun but I was thinking kids. We had 12 kids in the house. And so, yeah, they're having a huge time, a lot of fun. But I was thinking there was a few things that happened and they were fine because it was a kids' party.

But if it was an adults' party that these things happened, you'd be like, wow, that was a wild party. That was a really wild party. So just, okay, so I'm going to say some of the things that happened. And you imagine if it was an adults' party. Okay, so a shelf broke because it was used for dancing as a lever sort of to dance along with. So you're holding on to a shelf and they were dancing

and the shelf broke down. So if that happened at an adult party. That's a wild party. You wake up the next morning, what happened to the shelf? Ben was twerking, holding it for stability. Yeah. His twerk was going too intense. It was going to blow him off.

So people ended up staying the night. That wasn't planned and there was hardly any sleep. I mean, if adults, if they happened to have an adult party, you'd be like, wow, everyone slept over. That was a wild party. Shelf broke. Yeah. All the towels, every single towel in the house was used the next day.

What? All sorts of like showers, all sorts of like, you know. Yeah, so I was like, wow, if that was an adult party, you'd be like, that was a wild party. And why are you mopping up with towels after an adult party? What horrible things are going on that requires all the towels to be used? And then the next day when everyone left, I found clothes all over the house. You know, like, there's clothes everywhere.

You have to return all these clothes. I mean, again, if this was an adult party, you'd be like, wow, that was a wild party. And nothing like the shame of having to come in the office with everyone's clothes. Hey, Juju, here's your clothes from the other night. What? Thanks. As a kid, that's fine. You'd be like, oh, here, I can return your T-shirt or your underwear, your lard, whatever.

But you're right. No questions are asked of kids' behaviour. It's a real difference between kids' parties and adults' parties. At what age does it depend as a society start judging us? I remember the wildest party that ever happened when I was a kid at my house. I wasn't even there. My parents, my mum and my stepdad trusted one of my friends while we were away to look after the house. What, a teenager?

Yeah, not like he's a safe bear. I'm like, is he? Is he? I don't know if he is. But anyway, you've trusted them to look after the house. So you're for whole families on holiday. We got away on a holiday. And they left your friend in charge?

And you had a party, a wild party. And then for weeks. In your house?'s on holiday. We got away on a holiday. And they left your friend in charge of it. And you had a party, a wild party. In your house. In my house. And everyone for weeks at school, everyone was like, wow, that was the best party of the year at your place. I was like, yeah, I wasn't there. I didn't get to experience the party.

I was like, oh, we'll never have another party as good as Ben's party. I was like, I wasn't there at the party. Very trusting of Kevin and Jenny Boyce. To trust a teenager. I know. To go have a wild, they're Jenny Boyce. To trust a teenager. I know. To go over a wild dollar. Very trustworthy.

So there you go. Wild parties. A real difference between adults and kids. Same amount of towels was used up at that wild party too. Hey, you've got toothpaste on the side of your mouth. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Low Fare Rideshare is finally here with DeeDee. Yeah, DeeDee Rideshare.

Good morning, how's it going? Morning Max, we're doing very well my friend the cash car, not to be confused with the crash car, which we're doing after 8 when Max has a nose to tail on the suburb So Max, whose house are you outside? We are outside the house of

Shady Sh of Shady, by the sounds of it. Shady? Shady. Shady, sir. Sorry, Shaden. My bad. Shady. The only one Shady is you.

You had one job. One job, Max, and it's to remember the name of the person whose house you're outside of. Ignore the Shady guy in the car outside the house. We're looking for Shaden, so Shaden's house. Shaden, okay. The timer starts now. 60 seconds for Shaden to run out of the house. Can you describe the property, Max?

The property is a nice house in the excellent suburb of Mount Eden. It's very blue. Oh, no, actually, it's not blue. It's a beige house. White house on the driveway. Your details this morning are shabby. Anyway, have we any sign of Shaden? Absolutely no sign.

No sign of Shaden. 60 seconds to get out, Shaden. Oh, no, here we go. Okay. Shaden is running out of the house right now. No way. How many seconds left on the clock? 20 seconds.

20 seconds left to get to the car. Drive off now to be quite funny. She's doing a limbo. She's doing a limbo, but she ducks under to do the limbo. And she's in the car. Hey! Well done.

Hand us over to Shaden, Max. Shaden's right here with me now, guys. Shaden, you made it. Hi, I did. Oh, you sounded a little bit out of breath. You got $500 cash. Oh, amazing. Thank you so much.

At what stage of preparation for the day are you in right now? I'm actually just about to go to work. I was waiting for this. Oh, you were hanging around for this. Good on you. Yeah, I was. Thank you. Oh, now you've got a ride share as well.

If you want, Max can give you a ride in the DD car. Oh, thanks. Now, Shaden, what do you do for a job? I work in outdoor media. Oh, okay. That sounds high for losing. Outdoor media. Not the indoor stuff.

Not the indoor one. That's not for me. Hey, Shaden, well done. $500. Thank you so much. With the DD Cash Cab. And that's a cash card. That's how it works.

Thank you. Simple as that. The hits.co.nz if you want to register. And Max will be outside your house tomorrow maybe with some very loose details of what your name could be. Simple as that. The hits.co.nz if you want to register. And Max will be outside your house tomorrow maybe with some very loose details of what your name could be. I'm surprised Sheldon got through for that. Like the house is not even my name, not even the right colour house,

but still managed to get out there. The house is blue. Oh, no, no, it's grey. Thanks a lot to DeeDee at the Cash Car. As Jono said, continue again tomorrow. New Zealand's breakfast. Just don't eat them. They're chewy.

It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Spy. The What's Up Spy.co.nz. Here to help fill three minutes of our show so we can rest our mouth muscles for a little bit there, Ben Boyce. Here's producer Julie. It was Spy. Thanks very much.

Now, of course, with TikTok, old songs are making a bit of a comeback. And this one's not actually thanks to TikTok but it's thanks to the fact that Joe Biden won the presidency and it's Party in the USA is making a comeback. It's hitting the charts again apparently, the iTunes charts because everyone's like, yeah, Party in the USA, Biden's

won. I think all these songs coming back, we need to just remember there is new music being made. I mean, we're playing, we've gone back to playing Fleetwood Mac Dreams. It's crazy. There's been so much good music over history. I'm just like, surely that's all the good music you can make. But then there's more good music that keeps

getting better. This is a great song. How do they do that? I always think, how do you write something that hasn't been written before? But I have no musical talent, so obviously I can't do that. I'm like that with inventions. Surely everything that we need is a human race. Except for a vaccine.

Except for a vaccine. Maybe that's the one thing. Maybe we've got one more thing to invent. But then we're done with inventions, don't you think? Yeah, you're right. You can happily tick through the rest of humanity with what we've got now. True. That's a good point.

That is a good point. And speaking of Miley Cyrus as well, she has talked about her divorce from Liam Hemsworth. So they were together for years and years and years. They finally got married, but then divorced a year later. And she said that she didn't really cry much at all after breaking up with him. And the reason for that was because she said

that she'd kind of dealt with a lot of trauma in her life as well. And she's come to realise that crying doesn't really fix the situation. Yeah. So no point. But then also, it's like, you've got to let your emotions out, you know? You're not a crier.

I've never seen Ben cry. Oh, now I know. Emotional movies. So movies is where we're going. Cartoon movies is your weak spot. Pixar. Bloody Pixar makes me cry every time. This is Achilles' heel.

Oh. Give him a Pixar movie and a packet of tissues. I don't know what it is about Pixar movies, but yeah. They just tug on the heartstrings, don't they? They really do. And Johnny Depp, he has...

He won't cry at a funeral. He'll cry during Up, though. Oh, Up. Oh, Up. No, that is a really sad movie to be fair. And Johnny Depp, he's been asked to resign

from his role in the Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts by Warner Bros after losing his court case, which is a big deal. Is this the end of his career? Do you think it is? Well, maybe. They say it kind of is.

And it's quite sad because I'm a big Harry Potter fan. I'm a fan of Fantastic Beasts. And I'm like, he was such a good character, such a good actor in those films. He released a statement I saw online. So he said that they've asked him to step down. He said he happily will do that. But he also said he's prepared to fight the charges

and he regards they're untrue. Yeah, because the Washington Post, I think another newspaper that also referred to him as a wife beater too, didn't they? Yes. And so that court case now is pretty much done and dusted. You would imagine if there was a ruling In one court case Yeah true For the similar

Issue Yeah Anyway It's sad isn't it Sad all around For all parties involved Exactly It's such a messy thing

For everyone So yeah Horrible situation And that is Spy for more You can go to The hits.co.nz Morning

Headed out to Glen Eden to a retirement village and it was special, wasn't it? Have a listen. Here we are at the retirement village, here with the wonderful Ange and everyone

from the village. There's probably 30, 40 people in this room right now. We're about to surprise Peter. He has no idea, right? No idea at all. Wow. Yep. How has he got no idea? There's like 40 people here. Where's everyone else skiving off work? He's like, why are the Hitspananners here and everyone in Coke t-shirts?

Because he just wouldn't think that anybody would probably do this for him. So he's in the kitchen now. And he thinks that all the managers are just here for a promotional thing for the radio. So you're nominated, Peter. He comes to work a couple hours early every day. He goes around, talks to the residents. He sounds like a wonderful person. He really gets up every day and

loves his job so much that he deserves this so much. So I can see you getting a bit teary. Yeah, I am a little bit because if you know him like everyone else knows him, we all just love him. Love him to bits. He's so cool. But you all seem like lovely people. You all seem like... Round of applause for the

lovely people here. Can I get a round of applause for Benjamin Boyce as well, ladies and gentlemen? There we go, yeah. Thank you. And a round of applause. Okay, so we've got a trophy. We've got a good bugger Coke as well, a Coca-Cola, as well as a T-shirt, and $500 to give him today.

So, oh, round of applause for $500. Yay! This is the most agreeable crowd ever. Our TV show would have carried on if we had this audience every week. So what we're going to do is we're going to get you to go to the kitchen, Ange. You're going to grab him.

And when Pete comes out, we're going to go. Ange is just going into the kitchen now. This is exciting. I'm a little bit nervous. I've never been part of a surprise moment like this. You're so hot. Yeah. Hey!

Peter has arrived. He's got his hands in the air. He's wearing his apron. He's looking at us like, what are these two weird people doing? We'll walk up to Peter. How are you, Peter? Hi, Peter. How you doing?

Lovely to meet you, mate. Jono. Hey, Ben. How you doing? How's things? Now, we hear you are an amazing person. You do so much great work for here. Your friend Ange has nominated you for this Good Bugger Award.

Oh, my. You get this trophy. You get a T-shirt. You get a Coca-Cola that says Good Bugger, and you also get $500 to say thank you for everything you do. Well done, Peter. What's going through your mind, my friend? I don't know.

Crikey, mate. You do wonderful things for this place by all accounts. And your work, mate, so your friends, your colleagues, they just love you. Oh, thank you. Give it up for Peter, ladies and gentlemen. What a man. What a man. God bless New Zealand.

Hey, oh. No, okay. That's not, that's probably not. No time for an anthem, okay. Yay. Woo! Woo! What's going on, mate?

Oh, what a crowd, what a crowd. What a crowd, yeah. Peter the whole time, because you had to get photos and stuff with him afterwards, he was stressing out because he had fish and chips on the go in the kitchen. He was still worried about his job all through that. He was like, just put fish on.

It'll be burning in the deep fryer. So that was his major concern. It was lovely. A very deserving winner of that. We're off after the show today to go reward someone else for great work in the community. If you want to register right now and have us share a coat with them and give them $500 for being a good bugger,

head to thehits.co.nz. Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime. Just search Jono and Ben on Instagram. Kia ora, I'm Ash Thomas and this is the B***ing News. This is where producer Juliet spends the entire weekend hunting out quirky news headlines and then beeps out words that we have to try and figure out what they are.

I've had no wins at this game. Ben, you've chalked up a couple of wins over the months. Yeah, but it's better to go for funnier answers. Seven days would be the show it was if everyone just did the actual answers. Like a pub quiz. Yeah. Yeah, you're right.

That was the answer. Anyway, you've done well. You've had a couple of wins and I've had nothing. I'm like Congo at the Winter Olympics. Had nothing. Maybe you'll have a win today. Okay.

You reckon? Yes. I'm feeling confident and not at all. Okay, here we go. California kayakers end up in the mouth of... California kayakers end up in the mouth of... Well, the only mouth big enough for a kayak is Donald Trump's mouth, so I'm going to go with that.

I'm going to say the mouth of Moby Dick. All right. California kayakers end up in the mouth of Moby Dick. Alright. California kayakers end up in the mouth of humpback whale. Whale! Oh, you were close. He nearly had his first win. I know. So, they were... Well, you said a whale, you know, it wasn't Moby Dick, but hey, it was good.

Yeah, I'm going to give you that one. Well done. And it was caught on footage. It was these kayakers, they were in California whale watching, and the humpback whale came up from underneath them because they were feeding. And you can see these kayakers go into the mouth of the whale, and then it kind of tips them back out again. And they were like, gosh, listen,

learn not to kayak when there's whale feeding time. Jeez, you know you're not tasty when a whale's spitting you back out. No. What is that? That would just be traumatising. That would be terrifying. Terrifying. I actually watched a video.

I think we played the audio of what happens when you're eaten by a whale. Yes, that's right. Yeah. Oh, I tell you, it's not an enjoyable experience, I tell you that. No. You really get broken down by all sorts of organs and then just, at the end, shot out the back end. There you go. There you go.

That's your time inside a whale. I'm glad those people didn't end up like that. Next news story. Man caught in Czech Republic in attempts to avoid lockdown curfew. Oh, he's in the... Okay, man caught checking himself before wrecking himself in the Czech Republic. I'm going to go with the stereotype. He's caught playing

checkers in the Czech Republic. I'm guessing that's what they do there. I don't know. You guys love a pun, don't you? Man caught walking a stuffed dog in Czech Republic in attempts to avoid lockdown curfew. Yeah, so in Czech Republic, I think the curfew's 9 o'clock, but you're only allowed out afterwards if you are walking a dog or an animal.

And so he's like, right, I'm gonna drag a lifeless... He literally has it tied on a lead and then the police come up and it's almost kind of like a version of Police 10-7. You see at night time, you know, the police go up and it's caught. It's almost kind of like a version of Police 10-7. You see at night time, you know, the police go up

and he's like, what are you doing? He's caught red-handed with a stuffed dog. Yeah, some people do that for the T3 transit lanes, don't they? They put big dolls in there

and things to go in your passenger seat. Right. Yeah, there's a lot of explaining to do if you're caught with one of those in the car. Did that happen to you? No, no, no. Yeah, that's a lot of explaining to do if you're caught with one of those in the car, though. Did that happen to you? No, no, no.

Yeah, that's who's trying to get in the T3 lane. But it was a Saturday and there was no traffic? Yeah, we're going at three in the morning, you're like, well, the T3, anyway, there was a lot of questions. All right. You know, some people do that. They stand at the top of the T3 lane in Hitchhike and you pay them $10 and they'll sit in your car. Wow. To see you go down there, yeah.

That's a thing. Good money Good money making venture that one. Maybe that should be my new side hustle. Why are you doing radio mate? Get out there and ride with strangers. Yeah exactly. British Food Store launches festive treats but people are losing it over it's filthy name, Santa's

Santa's Reindeer Beef Jerky. That'd be a controversial snack. It would be. Bits of real Rudolph. Yeah. I don't know, Santa's lap dances. I don't know, what is this thing? British food store launches festive treats,

but people are losing it over its filthy name, Santa's Yum Nut. So I was doing a bit of research. It's a donut crossed with a yum yum, which I didn't know what a yum yum was. It's kind of like a deep fried croissant type thing. Right. And it's got like festive decorate,

like icing and stuff on it. And Marks and Spencer's, the British food retailer, was like, anyone want a bite of Santa's yum nut? And everyone's like, no, you don't need to trademark that name because no other place will want that as a name.

I could have gone with Santa's Jingle Balls or something, but that would have been another option, right? Yeah, exactly. Santa's Package. Santa's Package. And that's the news and beeps for you. More painful than your alarm clock. It's Jono and Ben on the hits.

Just before the show, the TV was on next door, and have you seen Suzanne Paul's new massage chair that she's advertising on TV? You know, the as seen on TV stuff. It's like a massage, but you get locked in like you're an inmate on death row. Everyone looks very uncertain about what's happening to them in the chair. They do look like they're locked in there. You're like, am I going to get out of this thing?

What's going to happen? Their arms and legs are locked in, and they're just getting massaged quite aggressively. Everyone's like, is this the end of my life? In the middle of this Westfield mall? You're not a massage guy, are you? It would make me more tense, I think, that year. Maybe I haven't tried it, though. Have you ever laid down for a massage?

Have you ever laid down? Oh, I went for a couple's, you know, Amanda and my wife and I went for a couple's. So I found it just awkward. The whole thing I find awkward. I just don't, you know, I get more tense. I get tense up more with the thought of someone giving me a massage. Really? Were you like, ugh, were you getting all shaky?

Yeah, and some people love like, oh, yeah, you know, deep, hard massage. I'm like, oh, that's just, no, it just makes me aware of all the knots I have in my back. I like being wound up in tents. That's how we operate. So, yeah, no, I'm not a massage person. The office is a funny place for a massage, isn't it? There was a massage guy we used to work. He would offer everyone massages.

I took one of his massages once, but it was kind of weird, isn't it, the office? How do you feel about the office massage, Juju? I feel like it depends who it comes from. If they ask or if you ask them, you know, if they just come up to you surprisingly and you're like, oh, God, oh, hi, okay. He was a surprise massage. Yeah, all of a sudden you'd have these hands on your shoulders. You're looking tense.

Yeah, because you're here giving unwanted massages. It's an unusual location for a massage, though, the office, isn't it? It is, you're right. It's not your traditional spot, yeah. Do you give massages? No, not really. I'm not really a massage person. Not for you. Would you like a massage? Is that what you...

That's what I'm fishing for. I can't imagine you'd... I would find it quite weird if I went around there now, just any of you guys in the work environment, I'd be like, oh, okay. No, there was every time we'd watch this guy do massages, everyone wasn't blinking when he was massaging. He's like, what's happening to me right now? You like a massage, don't you?

Yeah, I like my... This is not an underhanded thing. You're like a traditional No, I pay more for underhanded things. This is a pub board. I was trying to help you out here. I was trying not to go for the obvious joke. I go to the mall. I go to the mall massage. It's very good. But the lady, she's about

89. She's probably, oh no, probably a bit younger than Joe Biden, probably. And she is just enormous. She's probably, oh no, probably a bit younger than Joe Biden probably. And she is just, she's probably about three foot tall and her strength is phenomenal. Wow. She's breaking my back every time. I don't know what she's doing behind me. I feel like she swaps out for some muscle, muscle bound protein person because the strength is, I walk away bruised.

Well, yeah. That's the other thing I found. The only one time I've been for a more massage because my face, if I lean on my face, it gets all sort of red and blotchy. So I went for a more massage and the round circle you put your head through on the mall, I didn't realise how hard I'd be pushed down on that. So I walked around the mall for a good hour afterwards

talking to people with a red ring around my face. Everybody's like looking at me like, what's up with them? Last time I had one, I fell asleep in that red circle thing and I woke up and there was a line of drool hanging out of my mouth and a puddle of drool on the carpet. Oh my God.

There's some early morning massage chips. Not a morning person. Sadly, neither of these two. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Scrolling through your page. I tell you what, there is nothing that this man is not across. He knows every,

he's got the answer to everything apart from a COVID vaccine. And why does Pluto act like a dog but Goofy walk and talk? That's a very good mystery from the Disney. Yeah, I'd like you to dig that one. What is Goofy if he's not a dog? Yeah, exactly. He's a dog, right? Yeah, well, Pluto and him are the same, but they're acting completely different.

Yeah, you're right. We'll get to the bottom of the hard-hitting questions before nine. Of course, over the weekend, Joe Biden looks to be the 46th President of the United States, and it was party time in America. It's all through his speech I could hear car horns. I couldn't understand what

did he just pull up in like a Kmart car park and do his... No, he does his rallies at car parks and stuff, so he sends out a thing, everyone turns up in their cars because of social distancing and stuff like that. I think they can get out of their cars, but they're quite separated. It's outside and everyone's like, eh, honking on their horns. It made it quite hard to hear his speech though

because everyone's like, herr. It sounded like a traffic jam on the Southern Motorway. I was quite impressed. His wife, Jo Biden, and his wife had a photo and it had a cap on. It said, we just did at number 46, because he's the 46th president. I was like, when does that happen? Who goes to the embroidery shop at the mall and get that? and it had a cap on. It said, we just did and number 46, you know, because he's the 46th president.

I was like, when does that happen? Like, who goes to the embroidery shop at the mall and get that? Like, is that a little, I feel like you're almost

like jinxing it. Yeah, when you go to Capabilities, that's the name of the shop, Capabilities, and you're like, I'll get these embroidered. I'll get this for Joe.

Then you're like, oh, is this going to jinx it? And also, the fireworks display was phenomenal. When did they book that? That was like,

that was $5 million worth of fireworks they just blew up there as celebration. And that doesn't just happen overnight. Well, you're right. Maybe that was the delay in announcing the present, having to get their caps stitched up and the fireworks lined up. Joe Biden, of course, you were saying before,

77, 70, going to be turning 78 soon. But I like it. And I think Kate Hawkesfield, I was listening to her on ZB the other day, saying that because people say he's old, he makes a real effort to run up on stage. He ran out yesterday too. Look at me guys, I can still

use my legs and arms. Poor guy's having to run everywhere just to prove that he's fit for office. His next four years are just going to be him running into every single room. The speech from both of them I thought was fantastic. Kamala as well, wonderful speech. As Vice, now you said there's a bit of a theory going around.

Because, Joe, will he go two terms? Eight years is a long time when you're hitting that age. Yeah, so maybe that she'll take over at some stage. That's the word that I heard, that the rumour that at some stage through that eight years, that's the plan, they'll get her in there. Which makes sense, right? She seems awesome.

It felt like a very unified speech. It felt like a speech you're expected to hear from a president. But we got so used to this other guy and all of his wild Lady Gaga. I know some stuff about Lady Gaga. I can tell you some Lady Gaga stuff. So Trump was out golfing and tweeting over the weekend. We played golf twice over the last couple of days.

18 holes or nine. I don't know. the last couple of days. 18 holes or nine? I don't know. That's a good full day. Is he filthy? Is he going to go quietly? Yeah, I think he's going. There's some court cases on the horizon, I think. So he's there till January.

So we've still got Donald Trump. Jan 20, yeah. So he could do some stuff between now and then, couldn't he? Yeah. He could make life. Interesting to see if it goes to court. I mean, he's got to take it to court, so I don't know.

Who knows what's going to happen? It's America. So, but hopefully he goes out and, you know, goes out politely, but I don't think that's going to happen, right? It's not Donald Trump's way. He could be getting a job.

You know, he could start jobs. He could do a TV network. They talked about maybe he might start up. He could be Orange Guy in our election campaign. There's options. You know, they replaced

our last Orange Guy, so there's options. So someone said he's had the full COVID experience. He got COVID and lost his job too. And that is scrolling to your feed this morning. Like starting your day without your morning coffee. It's Jono and Ben on my heads. The A to Z of New Zealand.

We're calling every town and city in New Zealand. We do one a day. We do it alphabetically. It's going to take us over two years to call every town and city. We like to learn about each place we phone up to. We do. Today we're heading to Hotatu Ben, which is a small township five kilometres south of Ngaruahia. It's got 624 residents, a meatworks, a dairy factory,

and an hourly bus that runs between there and Hamilton. And you know when I start referencing the local local bus time tables in these biographies, there's not much else to say about Hodder 2, unless we're missing any hidden gems, which we'll find out about right now. I think we're on hold at the dairy factory, are we, Juju? Yeah, we sure are. Control room, bye speaking. How are you?

Good, how's it going? Good, thank you. Listen, it's Jono and Ben calling from the Hits radio station. How's your day going? Good, thanks. We are phoning every town and city in New Zealand. Today's Hotter 2's turn. Yep, how's it going?

Yep, it's going well. How are you going? Good. Ben, how are you going? I'm going alright. We'd just like to learn something about the place. How are you going? Good.

What would you like to know? Well, mainly how are you going? I'm going good, yeah. You're going good? Yeah, how are you going? Good. What would you like to know? Mainly how are you going? I'm going good. You're going good? Yeah, how are you going? Better now. Good. We got that out of the way. Everyone's doing well. Now what can you tell us about the place? Can you tell us anything? Small rural town just out of Hamilton.

A little bit industrial and that's about it really. A few locals. This is a very unenthusiastic description of Hottitoo. I know. It's nothing too much exciting unless you want to work in a meatworks and a dairy factory. Well, there's a meatworks, right?

How far away from Hamilton are you guys? Ten minutes. Okay, so you're nice and close to Hamilton. Go in there. Yeah, pretty much. Oh, nice. Can I tell you a story about the meatworks, if you don't mind? Love to hear one.

Okay. Do I want to hear this one? Yeah, no, it's a nice story. Okay. It's a nice story. Some friends of ours used to run the cafe in the meatworks because it operates 24 hours when it's in season, doesn't it? It does.

And they said some of the meatworkers would eat 14 eggs and toast for breakfast. 14 eggs? Wow. 14 eggs. Wow. 14 eggs. Jesus. How many eggs are you eating at the dairy factory? Well, funny story. I've worked at a meat works and dairy factory and I'm vegan, so I don't eat eggs at all.

Ironic, I know. You're a busy man. You're a busy man. How many people work in the dairy factory? We've got 24 in total, but we run four per shift. How much milk are you making a day? We don't make milk. We make powder out of milk, and we make about a million litres a day.

A million litres of milk, and then you ship the powder off overseas, do you? Yeah, that's what we do. It gets out of here, goes to mainly China and whatnot. And so how do you turn milk into powder? We dry it through our dryer, does 10 tonne an hour roughly, evaporate the water out of it, then dry it, comes out in powder and pack it in a bag. How long does that process take?

From taking the milk out of the tanker to putting it in the bag, probably an hour and 15 minutes. So not that long at all. Yeah. You don't even think about how milk powder's made, do you? Not really. When did you start thinking about this stuff? When I started working here, that's when I first thought about it.

Yeah, right. It was probably a good time to start thinking about it. Lovely chatting to you today, and thanks for all the great work you do for the country. Yeah, jobs and the economy. It's awesome. Awesome. Cheers for calling, fellas.

Enjoy the rest of your day. See you, mate. Start your day the wrong way. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Buy the WhatsApp by doco.nz. Now for some specifically targeted entertainment, Start your day the wrong way. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Spy. The What's Up Spy.co.nz. Now for some specifically targeted entertainment news for your average 18 to 49-year-old female. Here's Juju with Spy.

Thanks so much. And fitting into that category is the Spice Girls. So Mel C, who is Sporty Spice, says that they want to reunite for their 25th anniversary and do a US tour. And I, first of all, go, why not New Zealand tour? Thanks very much, Mel C. Financially, it's probably not that viable.

Although now are one of the few places they probably could tour if they came over for two weeks. But they'd have to do a regional tour to really... The Spice Girls at the Whangarei Cozy Club. Yeah, I'll go see them. Imagine that. That'd be so cool. And they're also trying to convince Victoria Beckham to come

because in their UK tour last year, I think it was, they didn't manage to get Victoria Beckham in on that. Well, she doesn't either. She's like, I don't know how many times I have to tell you what I want, what I really, really want, and it's not to tour with you. Exactly. She's got all of her own other businesses and everything going,

so she's kind of like, I probably don't need the money. And they also, to celebrate the 25th anniversary, want to make a movie, like a biopic, based on their fame and their peak career, kind of like there was for Queen and Elton John. That's a good idea. Yeah. I feel like it's the new thing.

Bands are doing it a bit more. 25 years since they've, gee whiz. Yeah. Where has that time gone? I know. Do you guys ever like the Spice Girls?

Yeah, I mean, they were massive. It was hard to avoid. But now they're coming back again because they're on TikTok and stuff.

My daughter, I was saying to you the other day, she's like, have you heard of the Spice Girls? Yeah, yeah, they're kind of

a big thing. What about this song? I was like, yep, and this song, yep. Oh my goodness, that's so cute.

They're more Spice middle-aged women now. That's the thing, that's always my issue when you say, you know, oh, we're boys to men or we're the Spice girls. Backstreet boys. You know, you're really like, at some stage, you're the Backstreet men, aren't they?

You know, but they still... That's a good point. Yeah. It's not a name with longevity in mind, is it? No, no, that's very true. And there's a story about the 72-year-old American grandmother, and she believes that Jason Momoa, actor Jason Momoa, has fallen in love with her,

and that he is on the other end of their WhatsApp messages. But it turns out it's just a big scam on this poor 72-year-old American grandmother. And, like, apparently they tell each other that they love each other and all of this thing. It might be Jason. Who knows? He would probably leave Lenny Kravitz's daughter, wouldn't he,

for a 78-year-old lady? I can see that happening. Hey, we don't know. It's not Jason. You're right. We don't know. And he's, like, sending her money and stuff. And he's saying, oh, yeah.

He's sending her money? Yeah, it's kind of weird. He's like, keep this hush. Grandma, keep our little thing hush. Yeah. I don't know why He's sending her money? Yeah, it's kind of weird. I was, He's like, keep this hush. Grandma, keep our little thing hush. Yeah, I don't know why he's sending her money

and then also telling her to then transfer it to another bank account. Yeah, but so she's convinced and there's screenshots of the messages. It's all love heart emojis

and all that and I'm like, oh, you poor thing. Classic Jason. That's what he does. Jason breaking hearts of 72 year old females.

You got, you got sent a message on WhatsApp saying you'd won Mega Millions. I won Mega Millions the other day. You're a Mega Millionaire now. And both of us got sent a message. Remember the same message about someone that missed us at the party? They were a little drunk and they were like, oh, what party?

That's right. Yeah, it was Tina. She's like, sorry I missed you at the party. I was a little drunk. But Ben got the same message as well. I felt she might have been playing us. There was also no party that we went to. I don't go to parties.

I'm a loser. And that is five. For more, you can head to thehits.co.nz. Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime. Just search Jono and Ben on Facebook. Does that song always remind you of Christmas in the park? Feels like

they always start Christmas in the park. Like Frankie Stevens will come blasting out on stage. Let me entertain you. Juliette's a massive fan of Robbie Williams. Oh, I love him. She said if he ever came in here for an interview, she'd lose all function of her digestive system. Yeah.

I would. It would really hamper the interview, wouldn't it? It'd be quite awkward, wouldn't it? Someone do any to... I'd be like, sorry, I have to remove myself from the situation, Robbie. Catch you later. Waddle out of the studio. Why is it going to be

a good day for you? Love to hear from you on 0800 The Hits. Good day for a Detroit couple. Just reading about them. They welcomed a baby girl into the family after having 14 boys.

Wow. They've got a family of 15 and now for 14 boys... Surely at number 11 you're like, come on, it's going to happen. The odds, it's like putting all your money on the

blackjack table at the casino. So there you go. So a good day for them. We're going to go to the phones and if you get on air we're going to give you a double pass to Reading Cinemas, the movies. GT's on from Auckland. What's going to be a good day for you in the North, GT? I'm getting a new puppy

just on my way to Morrinsville to pick my new member of the family. A puppy? What sort of puppy? It's an Australian Kelpie. Ooh, I have no idea what that is, but I'll go ooh and pretend like I do. I thought you were hosting a dog show, mate.

I have no idea what it is either. Sounds cute, though. Yeah, it's going to be very cute. Black colour stuff. Oh, good on you. Drive safely and happy puppy-ing. Cheers cute though. Yeah, it's going to be very cute, black colour stuff. Oh, good on you. Drive safely and happy puppy-ing. You said it's like another family. Man, another family member getting a dog, isn't it?

They do bring a lot of joy, but then they can, you know. And you're the one doing all the walking. You're picking up all the things. You're doing it, aren't you, Ben? What about all the people, the young miniature people who said they were going to do it all? I know, they're like, we'll walk every day. No, you won't. Let's go to Zane.

How are you? Oh, I think B-Humps is still chatting away to Zane. He's here because he's allowed to talk to Zane, wanting to get to know his dreams and aspirations for the next five years. Kate, how's Wellington? It's great. Windy as ever. Why is it going to be a good day, Kate?

Because I got 12 hours sleep last night. Oh, 12 hours. I couldn't remember the last time I had 12 hours. What was it like? What do you feel like today? Amazing. Oh, jeez. Did you go to bed at 8, did you?

No, I went to bed at 6. Oh, bed at 6. There's still broad daylight outside at 6 o'clock. Yep. Yeah, that's a dream. Did you wake up once or just sleep all the way through? I woke up at like 11-ish and kind of had the feeling it was time to get ready for work. But it's not.

That's a great feeling. You're like, there's so much more sleep I get to do. There's no better moment in a human's life when that happens. Hey, good on you, Kate. We'll send you off to the movies. You go and have a good day, eh? Thanks, guys. You too.

Have we got time for one more? Yeah, it's going to lunch, apparently. All right, Zane. How's New Plymouth this morning, my friend? Quiet, obviously. Yeah. Yeah, they've... Oh, Zane, you're there.

Yeah, I'm there. You're there. Yeah, I'm there. You're there. It's going to be a good day, Zane. Why? It's starting to be windy here, but anyway. Hey, thank you, Zane.

It's been good looking to you every morning, and that was a good day today. Oh, thank you, Zane. It's been good listening to you every morning, and that was a good day today. Aw, thank you, Zane. You said it almost like that was our last show, though. It's been good listening to you all. Rest in peace, John or Ben. Well, maybe Zane's had enough. It's been good. But now it's time to move on. Hey, thank you for your calls, Zane. We appreciate you listening, mate.

Tomorrow, the DD Cash Car is back. We gave away 500 bucks this morning. Anyway, have we any sign of Shaden? Absolutely no. No sign of Shaden. 60 seconds to get out, Shaden. Oh, no, here we go. Okay.

Shaden is running out of the house right now. No way. How many seconds left on the clock? 20 seconds. 20 seconds left to get to the car. Drive off now. She's doing a limbo. She's doing a limbo, but she ducks under through the limbo. And she's in the car. Drive off now to be quite funny. She's doing a limbo. She's doing a limbo but she ducks under

to do the limbo and she's in the car. Yay! Well done. So there we go. She made it out in time. The cash car turning up at your house tomorrow.

You've got 60 seconds to run out if we are outside your house. Catch Millennial Max and we'll give you $500 thanks to Didi. Hell of a prize. Pretty sweet.

Just by registering right now at the hits.co.nz. After the show, we're off to... Tokoroa. Are we allowed to say? Yeah, I just did. We're not allowed to say. We're going to anywhere apart from Tokoroa today. I wasn't sure.

Maybe we are. We're going to give away another deserving winner of the Good Buggers Award. Thanks to Coca-Cola. We'll catch them and catch you tomorrow from 6 o'clock. Have a great day.
