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. This is Tuesday's edition. I wonder how many episodes of podcasts we've done.

Oh, a lot. We celebrated our 100th show, didn't we, a couple of months ago, which is not really a great milestone when you're doing shows every single day. No. Thousandths might be our next celebration point, wouldn't it? I wonder if we'll get to 1,000. How many shows would you do a year? So you go five days a week.

You factor a little bit of annual leave. You know you've got to have some me time, don't you? Yeah, yeah. What do you reckon? I don't know. It'd probably be 250, 300 maybe? Would you go 300 taking away stats? Yeah, I would say 250.

250, yeah. Okay, that's a safe number. Yeah, say 250 a year. Yeah, that's not bad. That's not bad. That's a lot of crap you have to talk, isn't it? A lot of words, just words. And I'm saying more of them now.

I find that I've run out of stuff to say on the radio. So you end up talking about trying to come up with stuff to say on the radio. This is the whole we're in right now. Which just popped into my head right now and I thought it'd be good for a podcast intro. Buying ice. Really.

When you think about what you're paying for, you're paying for something you've just been too lazy to make at home, really, in that capacity. You could do that for free. You can make as much ice as you want, really, for free, as long as you've got water and a refrigerator. But you end up paying for ice. But you've really got to love ice, though, don't you,

to have a plentiful supply. It takes up quite a lot of room in a freezer, doesn't it? Because you've only got a small freezer. There's a lot of planning required when it comes to ice, isn't there? Yeah, to that, if you're having a party, want to put ice in something you know ben's coming over oh he's an ice guy yeah we want to put some drinks and some ice like a little you know a bar you know a bin or something you want to put some ice in i was like i just paid for like what did i just pay for i paid for water it was frozen they must have i tell you who would have been laughing

your pumps and your h2gos back in the day They must be laughing all the way to the bank selling water. Oh yeah, let's lose this another one. Didn't we drive past somewhere when we were coming back from... Potaruru. Yeah, I think that's where a lot of the water comes from. They pump it out, it's like a fresh, wonderful mineral spring. Yeah, they pump it straight out of there into a pump bottle and we pay five bucks for it. Yeah, it's beautiful.

It is beautiful. I love that fresh water. I would freeze that fresh water, turn it into ice cubes just for you. And I'd pay for that. Just for you. Hey, on the podcast today, as we mentioned, we went past Putaruru and went to Tokoroa today for the Coke Good Buggers promotion. Wonderful reception there. We bumped into a bus driver who drives up and down the country.

And he said, why is there a sign welcoming you two into Tokoroa? Yeah. That's because we made them put it there to make our fragile egos feel better. So we went there to award the Coke Good Buggers also today on the show. Ben Boyce, your marriage could be in tatters. There's only one thing saving it, and it's administration. It says admin, so enjoy that on the podcast. Just like a chocolate milkshake, only white and disappointing.

It's Jono and Ben on the hits. We're joined in the studio by the legendary top twins, Dame Linda, Dame Jules, the Kiwi Concert Party. This is very exciting. Yeah, it is, because it's a line-up that's never happened before. It's history-making, a little bit like Kamala. The idea of the Kiwi Concert Party, Tim came up with the idea, and basically, you and basically he just suddenly

thought of all those beautiful old concert party entertaining the troops. And this time the troops are 5 million New Zealanders who have had a pretty some people have had a pretty rough year. Let's cheer them up. And so we thought we can't just have music, we have to have some comedy. So he's asked Linda and me to be camp mother and camp leader and everyone

will be out on the lawn, possibly smoking dope if they rearrange things. They can smoke dope if they want. They can smoke dope if they want. It will still be illegal. I think what will happen is that the police will just turn a blonde on.

I think we're endorsing, turning up to this, smoking weed, the police will ignore it. You guys are some of the most iconic New Zealanders. And what I like in my head is that all of New Zealand's most iconic people can get together for powerful meetings and organise events like this. That's a drop of a hat. Well, yeah, because we're big fans. What's it like being a successful comedy duo? We're asking for two friends.

Well, you, let's face it, you boys have gone to the dogs. Literally, we've gone to the dogs, right. We're hosting a dogs right now. Do you, because you guys, and I don't use the word iconic lightly here. You are icons. When was the last time you could actually leave your house and no one would recognise you? Never.

Really? It never happens because the thing is that people will hug us in the streets. In New Zealand, we are accessible. If we were Americans, we are accessible. Yeah. If we were Americans, we'd be, you know, you'd come out of your house from a gated community... For the security. ...three security people with headphones,

and you'd hop into a, you know, darkened limousine. Yeah. Well, that's no life, is it? No. We just get in our truck, drive down to the supermarket and get our own groceries, and there's always somebody in the aisle going, oh, you're one of the top ones, eh?

And I think that is so beautiful about New Zealand. We never ever want to lose that because what happens is if you distance yourself from your audience, then that's what you become. You become distant to them. You don't become accessible. And everything turns to shit. Yeah, look at Johnny Depp.

Yeah, that's right. It's all gone, yeah. Then you end up hosting a dog show. We've got dogs. We've got dogs. We've got dogs. I've got two beautiful Labrador hunting dogs. Nice. And I've got a Queensland lab.

When I became a day, I said, I'm going to get myself a Queensland lab. And everybody goes, what's that? And I go, the Queensland lab is the one that the queen has been breeding for 35 years. The actual queen in England. Oh, wow. And a guy bought them out from New Zealand and he ended up with too many and he needed to hand one on so he gave one to Linda. We forget that we're

dames. Yeah. I'd be using that for evil. See, but that's the difference between you and us. I'd be getting discounts all over. Free upgrades. You don't really want to pull that one out of the hat to get something done. Apparently, there's just some little rules about it.

Because what happens is... There's no free stuff. If you write out, if you're, you know, writing out... Writing names. You're supposed to refer to us as dames. And in fact, the weirdest one was our bank account. You know how you have your app on your phone now and you go in and you pay all your bills on the phone?

I opened mine up and it goes, Dame Linda Top on my account. And I go, and you pay all your bills on the phone. I open mine up and it goes Dame Linda Top on my account and I go, I'll be that! I'll be that! Anyway, apparently it's just an automatic thing if you've got a bank account and you're a Dame they change it and they have to put the title on. I was actually reading your first gag is this true? You were paid $5 each

in Christchurch and you got to eat as many toasted sandwiches as you wanted. Yep, yep. And we would we wouldn't eat them all at the same time. We'd take them home in our duffel bag, because that's what you wore in those days. He had a duffel bag and a duffel coat. We'd eat them during the week. You would fry them up in a pan.

Because you put toasted sandwiches in your jacket pockets. Yeah. Yeah, really. So any pocket where there's a toasted sandwich. That's why we had duffel bags and duffel coats. They just said we could have as many toasted sandwiches as we want. We said, oh, well, let's a toaster sandwich. Yeah, they just said we could have duffel bags and duffel coats. You can just really... They just said we could have as many toaster sandwiches as we want. We said, oh, well, let's just go with it. The yodelling.

What's the key to yodelling? The kick. You can sing in any key, either A, B, C or D. We can't. We can't. We'll teach you how to yodel right now. Okay. We're the top twins here.

There will be yodelling at the Kiwi concert party. Yeah. And we will get people to yodel with us. The entire audience will be yodelling at the Kiwi Concert Party. Yeah, yeah. And we will get people to yodel with us. The entire audience will be yodelling with us. It'll be the biggest yodel in New Zealand. It'll be a mass yodel. The biggest yodel. But you've got to learn how to do it.

So I'm going to just teach you. And the people listening in will be able to come to the Kiwi Concert Party and do it straight off. So the first thing you've got to do is have the break. So that goes from octave to octave. So you've got to go straight to it. Yeah, give that a go. Yeah, no, that's alright. That's a good start.

That's not, is it? It's terrible. I feel like I just went through puberty. Then you've got to do what you've got to do is you've got to put your tongue at the top of your mouth and drop it down. Put your tongue at the top of your mouth and drop it down. Put your tongue at the top of your mouth and have it drop down to your bottom.

Okay. Just to the bottom of your mouth. If it goes to your bottom, it's another trick. That's another trick. You don't want to go there. It's more like a dog show. Anyway. Add those two together.

The yo's and the do's and the dee's and the oh's in the right place. Okay? Because it's yo-del. So how long did it take you guys to learn this? Seven years. Seven years listening to wound up gramophones at the neighbours. You used to take a horse, was that right, on the countryside to go listen to music? Linda sounded like a dying cat for a minute.

Mum sent it to the back of the farm. And I never learned to yodel, but I can just yodel with her through osmosis of being a twin. It's bloody brilliant. When you put it all together, it sounds like... So there's a combination of both of these. It's become a bit of a dying art. A lot of people have died from this. They're particularly...

The Villa Maria gig may be the last show. They might enjoy what they love doing. Lovely to see you both. Yeah, you guys are so amazing and we're so lucky to have you in New Zealand

and lucky to have events like this. It's so awesome. So go along. You know, I want to say one thing. It's about, you know, being fun. Our life has always been

really positive because it's about making people happy. Yeah, yeah. Well, you do a good job of So our life has always been really positive because it's about making people happy. Yeah. Now, will you do a good job of that? We make people embarrassed. Yeah, yeah. I wouldn't agree with that.

There's room for that. There's room for that. And you are really good at it. It's true. There's a thing, isn't there? It took Jono seven years to do that, but he trained hard and he got there. Lovely to see you guys.

All right. Okay, see you later. Hey, you've got toothpaste on the side of your mouth. It's Jono and Ben on my heads. Now, I feel like this is a stitch-up. You've got a lie detector test that you're trying to make me do. Yeah, it's a lie detector. It's not hooked up to my body parts or anything like that.

I thought it would be like on my heart rate or something. That'd be like, it's purely audio-based. So how I answer feels like a stitch-up. The machine can tell through the tone and nervousness of your voice whether you're lying or not. Now this is an actual machine that we found. I found it on Friday and we've been

figuring out how to work it properly because we don't want to stitch you up. It says caution on the box may cause exposure to deep dark secrets. That's right and it was in the Hits price cupboard alongside some expired diet pills that we were giving away and some health pizza vouchers.

So use voice analysis technology to reveal the truth. That's what it claims. It feels like a stitch-up on me, though. VAT, voice analysis technology. It's a thing. This has been responsible for putting many politicians

in white-collar prisons for light crimes for two to three months at a time. Okay. Maybe some home detention at the end of it, yeah. So what we're going to do is we're just going to run through the test. Listen, if you think I'm stitching you up, 0800 the hits, and you can ask Ben a question too for the lie detector,

and he can answer honestly to you. So it's not a scripted, pre-rehearsed stitch up on you okay first question is your name benjamin ross boys that's true that's true it is true well done oh is that sound is that oh okay yeah okay okay your daughters are they sienna and indy yeah true That's true. Okay, so the little ding is good. Is that truthful? Yeah, two for two. You're correct.

You're telling the truth. Okay. This is what they say. You just need to calibrate the machine. Okay, yeah. Okay, here's your first question. Oh, so they were, okay. So that was just...

That was just warming up, testing the machines working. Okay. Do you think you're the coolest person in this room? No. Oh, okay. Oh, so that's saying I think I'm the coolest person in the room. Yeah.

Yeah, okay. All right, next question. You go, have you ever clogged the toilet at a friend's place and not told them about it? No. No, I haven't. Nervous laugh there too, Juju, I notice.

The machine clearly picking up on the nerves. The nerves coming through. Have you ever surfed the internet on incognito mode? No. No, I haven't. You've got to stop the nervous laughing. No, no. No, I haven't.

No, I haven't seen this in such a long time. What stuff is he looking at? Where's this getting played off? Shari, let's go to Shari then. I'll step back. Shari, you asked Ben a question for the lie detector. Sure, I've got a question. Would you ever cry to get out of got a question. Would you ever cry to get out of a speeding ticket?

Would you ever cry to get out of a speeding ticket? Seems like something he would do, but I'm not him. Say no. No, I wouldn't. No, confidently no. Oh, this is a session. Gavin's joined in. Gavin, welcome. So welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast,

the lie detector. What have you got to ask Ben? Do you wear the pants in your relationship? Oh, okay. Here's a big one. I'm going to say yes. Yes, I do. All right. That's what I'm going to say.

Yes. And finally, have you ever stolen anything from the office? No. No. No. I like the hat, so I wouldn't do that. It's 100% success rate. We're working with a filthy liar.

It's official. The lie detector may expose dark secrets. And boy, it did not disappoint. I feel like you guys, here's a question. Are you guys lying to me about this? Is this a legitimate thing? Yes. Oh, I think you guys are in cahoots with each other.

We're not working the machine. How can we just push in the button on the machine? I'm not seeing what's going on anyway. New Zealand's breakfast. Just don't eat them. They're chewy. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Ben Boyce, some skeletons exposed in your closet.

Apparently clogging toilets around town, stealing from the workplace, workplace theft. So yes, those bony skeletons from that bony man have just been exposed. Do you know, I was reading an article, if you want to beat a lie detector, clench your bottom. Oh, really?

All the way through the test. Oh, he's quite tense. Apparently that relaxes the muscles that they read. Oh, really? Okay. But it's not used as evidence in court. You can't use a lie detector as proper evidence because there's so much scope for it to be

incorrect. Like you could be nervous just going into a room with a lie detector. You would get nervous regardless of what you were doing. It'd be interesting to see if someone could beat the test by actually going, hey, I'm answering false to these things that are true. Yeah, they said pathological liars can. They can just remain calm.

Because they're taking your pulse and that sort of thing. They just remain calm, yeah. I'd be a shocker. I'd be a shocker. Like, you got me! Oh, God, oh, God. Oh, my head would be like, this is it? I'm lying?

Yeah. So there's some great questions in this lie detector game, many of which you just heard Ben answering and being exposed as a liar. But one here which I'd like to throw to you, just one more, one more. Your pet, Bo. Yeah.

Do you love Bo the dog more than your children? Well, no, I love Bo and I love my kids, but I... No. You don't. Oh, no. I hope you're not listening, kids. I love Bo.

I love all the... So there's no time now. You've answered. You've answered you've answered the machine spoken but it reminded us of on Dog Almighty the show on TV

and Z2 we're hosting at the moment jeez some of these dogs are getting pampered oh yeah one turned up in a pram it's own pram

just so it doesn't have to use its legs has little ribbons as well too that it carries around because it's one ribbons I mean that's yeah it's pretty cute

you never want a dog using its legs. Always got to rest those dog's legs. So I wanted to throw it out there. Is the pet in your household loved more than you are? I can imagine there's dogs that sleep in between couples on the bed. I imagine that happens, right? I imagine dogs getting eye fillet steaks and other people in the household probably just getting it.

People cook certain meals for their dogs. Yeah, probably getting tinned spaghetti and sausages or something while the dog's sitting there eating eye-fullet steak. We've got some movie tickets up for grabs. If you give us a call, we're looking for New Zealand's most pampered pets. Do you own one, or is there someone you know that you want to dob in?

Sarah, you're on New Zealand's Breakfast. The dog in your house, is it loved more than the humans? Yes, it is. What's it feeding on? Sirloin steak. Oh, sirloin steak. Yes, salmon. Salmon.

How many times a week is it having this diet of salmon and sirloin steak? Four times a week. Four times a week. So are you eating the same things or are you making stuff especially for the dog? Just for her. Oh my God.

Are you responsible for this, Sarah? Is this all you're doing? Yes. She gets her nails, she gets her nails done as well. She gets her nails done, that's a great,

oh wow, that's a, is there anyone else, Is there anyone else... I sleep on the bed. Is there anyone else in the house with you, Sarah? My mum and my brother. Okay. And where do they sit

on the pecking order? Down the ladder. Second and third. Yeah, okay. Well, Sarah, that's amazing, the lucky dog that you've got there

and I'm sure you guys love each other very much. Morning! It's Jono and Ben on the Heads. Do you suffer your grandparents or your parents coming to stay with you and they come in for a short time but it's a good time and every time Annie and Jono from Christchurch, I'm like, what are they going to push on me in this household

that's going to fill up space in the household from Christchurch? They come and they do a great job of being grandparents, but then they just disappear and then we have to deal with the mess afterwards. Yeah, yeah, you're right. I guess it's one of those things. They love it because they love spoiling their grandkids or whatever. I never got half of the stuff they're buying for the grandkids. I never got ice cream for breakfast or things like that.

There wasn't even an option. It's like, what? You never did this to me mum once, you know? When did your moral compass change and you start feeding ice cream to children for breakfast? Yeah, like, oh, it's just once so they can have one, you know? You're like, what? You never once gave that

to me, but anyway. Anyway, we've got no issues with it. We've got no issues with it. But yeah, over the weekend, it was Poppy's birthday and they turned up with an ice cream truck. So it's an ice cream truck, which I believe has the same dimensions as an actual Mr. Whippy truck.

I can't even park my car in the garage now because of this ice cream truck. You can make ice cream from it. I'm like, why would you do this to me? Why did you do this? It's enormous. And Poppy's like, it's an ice cream truck. Yeah, I know what it is.

And you're probably going to love it for about four weeks. And then we like, it's an ice cream truck. Yeah, I know what it is. And you're probably going to love it for about four weeks. And then we're going to have this ice cream truck. And then I'm going to have to try and sell on Trade Me or Auto Trader or something. So it wasn't even one to hire for her birthday. It was like an actual present for her to keep. It's a toy truck. That's enormous. Okay, I see.

Wow. And it actually makes ice cream. You can make stuff out of it. Well, plastic ice cream. I mean, if you don't mind eating plastic ice cream, it shows you're on plastic. Then it's the ice cream truck for you. So it's good as without the action. Well, not as good as, but it still does.

It actually tastes nothing like ice cream. In fact, it's quite hazardous to your health if you swallow plastic. But we had a Mr. Whippy truck here and there at work for a while. Remember one of the stations was like, oh, we'll get a Mr. Whippy truck. But it turned out to be a nightmare because all the promotional staff wouldn't oh, we'll get a Mr. Whippy truck. But it turned out to be a nightmare because all the promotional staff wouldn't change the ice cream from the machine. And so it would just end up rotting

and the whole garage stunk of festering ice cream. I don't know how many people that poisoned, how many listeners that ice cream truck poisoned over the years. Well, we don't have it anymore. And we're on the listeners as well. We lost many good listeners thanks to food poisoning. Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime.

Just search Jono and Ben on Facebook. Now, we were driving back yesterday, producer Juliet, and there was lots of signs out for the circus. I think the circus is around in New Zealand at the moment. And it reminded us, Jono, of the time we went to it. Not the circus that's travelling all over New Zealand, but another circus. Oh, this was a wild, wild circus. This was the Donald Trump of circuses. It travelling all over New Zealand, but another circus. This was a wild, wild circus.

This was the Donald Trump of circuses. It was a lot of fun, but jeez. Volatile, unpredictable, you didn't know what was going to happen next. It was, I thought we were going to see someone die. I thought I was going to see a man die. Was it in New Zealand? It was in New Zealand, so we went along and it was quite a wet night.

It was pouring with rain. So you're inside a circus tent, that's fine, But then they had motorcycles. And they would ride the motorcycles from out of the tent. So through all the grass. And then they'd drive off a ramp and then like fly across and jump onto another side of the ramp. But it was quite wet. So they'd all be coming into the circus tent.

It was sort of like, oh, oh, oh. Because the wheels were all soaking wet. They were slipping up the ramp. First guy just made it. His back wheel just landed on the ramp he was meant to land on. And you could hear the MC go, who? Who wants to see another one? And everyone's hesitantly going, really?

Okay. If they're okay with it, I don't know. Ask them. You know, I just kind of felt like if they don't want to do it, just stop. And then so the next guy comes up and it's the same problem. He's got slippery wheels. Zoom!

Slides off the ramp that he rides up and he, well, he didn't quite make it and then you heard the MC go, eh, that's the end of the circus.

So everyone would go home and have a great night. Lights came on, you're like, okay. Round of applause for the circus, everyone.

There was a moment they shot a guy out of a cannon into the crowd. And it was impressive. The guy got in there. He landed in a lady's face. It was hard to tell. We never saw him again.

He was like, well, that's that guy. We're like, where is he? Where is he? Is he coming back? Is he coming back? We never saw him again. He's okay. He's okay.

Give it up for that guy. You're like, where is he? Is he all right? The more he kept going, he's all right, ladies and gentlemen. The more you kept going, he's alright ladies and gentlemen. The more you kept going, he's definitely not alright. I actually didn't come back on the stage in wave.

Like, yeah, never came back out again. They were like, oh. I think every night they just fire someone out of a cannon

and never see them again. Very entertaining. What happened to Billy? I don't know. That is terrifying. The globe of death. They had this globe of death. And there's big wheels.

So someone would stand in the middle of this big, giant metal circle. And they would send motocross bikes in. Oh, I've seen that before. Yeah, nothing went wrong there. But, geez, it was. I'm pretty sure someone's died in the globe of death before. That's where we got the name from. It was.

I walked out of there going, did what I just see, was that legal? Am I going to be a witness? This is not the circus that was going around at the moment It was a lot of fun I don't know if there's still an operation More painful than your alarm clock It's Jono and Ben on the Hatch Now over the weekend, we had some people over

And we're having a conversation at my house, Jono It'd be weird if you were sitting in silence. No one talks at my residence. We're talking away and someone in my family, they're just separated. They're going through a bit of a breakup at the moment, which is always sad. Never nice, is it, breakups?

No. Is it a bitter one or is it harmonious? It's okay, but sometimes it works out being for the best, but those times it's difficult. My wife, Amanda, we're talking around and she was like, we could never break up. And I'm like, oh, that's lovely. She's like, I love you too much.

You're too special. This is a lovely moment. She's like, yeah, too much admin. Like too much. I mean, a lot of admin. So she's just staying together because of the paperwork. I was like, what? Too much admin?

She's like, oh, you know, you've got to split up all your stuff. You've got to go through the bank accounts. You've got to change the name situation. I was like, you're right. There's a lot of admin. She's like, oh, you know, you've got to split up all your stuff, you've got to go through the bank accounts, you've got to change the name situation. I was like, you're right, there's a lot of ads. A lot of ads.

I know it's almost worth writing it out, detesting each other for the next 40 years just so you don't have to fill out a form at the bank. We could have stopped

and just, we'd never break up. I would have been happy but then it was like, too much admin. I don't blame her. But you're right and I had to agree,

there is a lot of admin when you start breaking it down. There's probably six months to a year's worth of admin no one likes moving house at the best of times but this is probably the worst of times

oh you take that I'll take that oh where are we going oh yeah bank accounts change of names there is a lot of admin you don't think about that

do you just stay together and bicker at each other when you retell stories as old people you know about the details of the stories you got that wrong

and then when you your kids are growing up you know, about the details of the stories. You got that wrong. And then when your kids are growing up, you can yell while Amanda's on the phone, you can yell at them through the phone from the background. I love that. It's almost like a two-person play with your parents or whatever when you call them, eh? Tell them I've gone to Dalton. I'm getting on to that.

There's something like a big, it's like for some reason they think you can't hear that on the other end of the phone. Your dad always hands you over to random people too when you're on to that. There's something like a big, it's like for some reason they think you can't hear that on the other end of the phone. Your dad always hands you over to random people too when you're talking to Kevin. He's like, I'm here with such and such. You're like, oh, that's nice. I'll pass you on.

And be like, oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. And as you get to it, you're like, g'day, Greg. Hey, Greg. How's it going, mate? And you don't know Greg, but you're expected to hold a conversation with him for however long, five minutes about just light banter. You're like, oh, good.

What did you end up talking to that guy about? You just end up running through conference. You know, we covered the election, we covered referendums, covered sporting events, weather, you name it. I mean, yeah. Your dad could be in a restaurant and just pass a phone over to the waiter. Yeah, talk to my son, Ben. You're like, oh, hi, guys.

He's very social. You've got to love him. You've got to love him. Although sometimes you're like, does this really need't. He's very social. You've got to love him. You've got to love him. Although sometimes you're like, does this really need to be happening right now? No. Not a morning person. Sadly, neither of these two.

It's Jono and Ben on the heads. Yesterday after the show, Jono, we took a wee trip, a little road trip. It was a road trip. It was a fun little road trip. Yeah, no, he snows. We produced a half hour skiddy up. So we drove from Auckland to Tokoroa,

and you get dozy in a car, don't you? Especially when you're in the back seat. Especially when you weren't driving, thankfully. Yeah. And I was driving. That was the disturbing part. They had to keep waking me up. But, you know, you don't realise how heavy your head is

until you have to sleep like on a plane or in a car, and your head just kind of goes, and you have to jerk it back out with your neck. I woke up with some drool dribbling down on my shirt. We did that. We drove all the way down to Tokoroa and we went through Tiro, which is one of my favourite places.

Corrugated iron everywhere. Yeah, they're really committed to that iron and it's got to be corrugated though, just not normal iron. And a couple of unique shops I found too. There was a Christmas shop. Oh, the Christmas heirloom shop. Which it looks like an amazing shop.

It was extensive, yeah. I was like, does this exist like 24- all year, or is this just for Christmas time? How much does Tito love corrugated iron and Christmas? Two of their favourite hobbies. But no, that was a lovely town, isn't it? You had a subway there. You had a subway ramp in Tito. Then we went on to Tokanoa, and I fell back asleep, did more drooling.

You did have a little napper again. I thought I was going to wake up and have obscene things drawn on my face Juliet mate we're on that we're on the hits now we're responsible

exactly then why have I got testicles on my cheek they're tasteful we also went to Tokoroa as you said and as we drove into town there was a sign up

saying welcome Jono and Ben which is pretty cool yeah it was I never felt so welcome. Go away, Tokoroa Bend, or something like that. Please keep driving. Don't think about stopping.

And so then we turned up at Christine and Richard's wonderful set up that they have, Eclipse, which is set up in the middle of Tokoroa, where they look after the youth of Tokoroa, some of the homeless children of Tokoroa, and do great things. Yeah, it's an amazing place. Oh, we were welcomed with a pōwhiri, and do great things. Yeah, it's an amazing place. Oh, we were welcomed with a poufity,

and it was beautiful. Kia ora, Jono and Ben. Welcome to Tokoroa. Let's go. Hey, Jono and Ben. Welcome to Tokoroa. Let's go. Oh, boy, you're mine.

We're the Waka. We're the Waka. We're the Waka. We're the Waka. That was beautiful, wasn't it? Let's go. I tried to say let's go. I tried to start saying that. That was from a message that they got a video. I thought because they were like, oh, we want a video we're going to play. And I thought it was all about the stuff that they do there. So we're like, oh, watch this video.

And it was all the schools saying welcome to us. Watch this video we prepared of you welcoming us. It was an amazing little video. It was amazing. It was like every school, they were like, welcome Jono and Ben. And then you went into the poverty as well, which was lovely.

Never felt so welcome. Got swept up in the madness though, where you're like, we're never leaving here. We're going to live here. And then we're like, oh no, we've got families. Yeah, I know. But we're moving there. Yeah, we will.

Just you and me. On the way down, yeah. And then we're like, oh no, we've got families. Yeah, I know. But we're moving there. Yeah, we will. Just you and me. Other way down, yeah. And then at the end of it, yeah, because we ended up there was lots of kids there en masse. We ended up signing some stuff. And then afterwards we signed some people's school shirts. And we were like, oh, no, this is not, no. Not a good idea. A lot of nappy sand that's

going to be required at Tokoroa High School. I signed a forehead. I was like, this is a bad life decision. Forehead signing never works out well for you. Like starting your day without your morning coffee. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Spy, the WhatsApp. Spy.co.nz

All right, here's some stories proudly brought to you by the internet to save you from using your precious data. Juju, what's happening in Spy? Thanks very much. So now Gwyneth Paltrow, it made very big news when she released a candle that smelt like her. Oh, there was a certain scent of Gwyneth, wasn't there, that she got out there on the market,

which, I mean, you know, we won't tell you what it is, but you can Google it. Maybe don't do Google it at work, but it seems like it would be an unusual odour. If I came round to your house, Ben, and I'm like, what's that lovely odour? Oh, that's Gwyneth's candle. And then you explain to me, I'd be like, okay.

Right. Very unusual. So what body odour is she hawking on now? It's all for marketing, though. It's such great marketing. You've never talked about it. Everyone talks about it, exactly. And it's sold out, I think, a couple of times.

But she's got a new product on the market. It's Gwyneth's body odour now. Fresh from her armpits. It's asparagus. She's eating asparagus. but she's got a new product on the market. It's Gwyneth's body odour now, fresh from her armpits. It's asparagus. She's eating asparagus and she stings the nostrils. You're like, oh, okay. Have you cleaned this place properly? But no, it is a lamp that is made out of a loaf of bread.

And it's a real loaf of bread. Really? Yeah. loaf of bread and it's a real loaf of bread. Really? Yeah, and I think they've covered it in some sort of thing to make it stop from getting mouldy and for animals. Oh, like a flammable sort of saw, yeah, okay. Yeah, so that nothing can kind of eat away at it and it's got LED lights in it. I don't know why someone would want a loaf of bread on their bedside table for a lamp though.

From the outside looking in it, it seems to me like Gwyneth Paltrow just looks at stuff and goes, I bet I could sell millions of that on my website. And we do. We buy it up. Yeah, we do. I'm going to buy that loaf of bread lamp right now. Yeah, because if you try to make something that's kind of a bit normal or advanced,

people are like, oh yeah, whatever. But if you actually make something that's really, really weird, then it gets great marketing and great publicity. And back to her candles. So like candle, the candle game has just, it's gone well beyond reasonable thinking now, candle game. You get like paprika and asbestos.

It's like they just have to name two random items. Wheelie bin and microphone sock. I could turn that into a candle. And then they sell it for like $200 because candles are so expensive. Are you a candle person? I do. Oh, I like candles, but I don't light them enough. I know what you're saying. You you a candle person? I do. Oh, I like candles, but I don't light them enough.

I know what you're saying. You know what I mean? You get them, you're like, gee, I like them when they're going. Yeah. But you don't commit to candles. Oh, I'm a committer of a candle. Do you light a candle?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I do. I do light a candle a couple of times a week. I put a candle on. There's a time I did go to your house, you turned the lights down, light the candles.

Oh, you light. He likes a mood setting. Yeah, romantic, eh? I was like, what was, is that Gwyneth Paltrow? I don't have that candle, just for the record. Good, good, good. And the house in Full House in San Francisco has been sold for over 500 million. Wow, I got a bit ahead of myself there.

$5 million by the creator and the executive producer. And I think you were saying, Ben, that I think he initially wanted it to turn into a touristy thing. Yeah, so there's two houses they use in San Fran, the outside of Full House. Obviously, the inside's filmed in a studio somewhere. But this is one of the houses they use, and he bought it thinking it would be a tourist attraction.

People would go along, and he was going to replicate the whole house to look like the original film on the TV show but the neighbours went, Oh, well I suppose. Same neighbours that complained about Eden Park concerts.

Helen Clark living there as well. And he couldn't get the permit and so he went, Oh, there's no point in me owning the house. I'm not going to live here. So he sold it for a whopping great amount.

Five million dollars. Five million US. It's like the outrageous Fortune House sold last week, didn't it? It's going to get turned into apartments. That's right. It's like the outrageous fortune house sold last week, didn't it? It's going to get turned into apartments. That's right.

Because people were turning up on the lawn and doing all sorts of nonsense, all sorts of shenanigans, stuff I won't even acknowledge. I wouldn't use my lips to even say the stuff they were getting out to.

So it would become a bane for the neighbours, I imagine. I did it where Andy and I, you know, made of ours, Andy, we went to San Fran,

we got a photo outside there, we lined up with some other people. You could tell it would be kind of annoying if you're in the neighbourhood. Yeah, exactly. And I think they did this with the Fresh Prince of Balea House, but they Airbnb'd it out, and on the inside they decked it out like it was in the TV show.

In the show. Yeah. So I think it's going to be a thing now. Ben, you got dragged around New York City by your wife, didn't you, trying to find the Sex and the City steps. Oh, the soup from Sex and the City. This one looks kind of similar. Surely we can just get a photo there. Nope.

Nope. Twelve hours later, all through New York we finally found those steps. The marriage was off, but the steps were in a photo. And that's Spy for More. You can go to thehits.co.nz Start your day the wrong way. It's Jono and Ben on the hits.

The White House. Will Donald Trump go by Jan 20? Who knows? It's a daily gamble. I see he's just fired someone else on Twitter. He's fired, I think. I forget the exact number, but I think around 450 people have gone from the White House tree.

Either they've been fired or they've just decided to leave, right? Yeah, they've resigned, fired, or, you know, there's a small handful who have been moved on to different positions. But 450 people in four years, 2016, he went in, right? Yeah. That is a high turnover. If you were working for that company, you're like, what is going on here?

So at the moment, the big trouble in the White House is his love of fast food, in particular McDonald's. He does have it, doesn't he? He loves McDonald's, Big Macs and things like that. Even though I think KFC, I remember there was a photo of him on a plane and he was eating it with a knife and fork. He was eating his quarter pack with a knife and fork, yeah.

So he has takeaways, I think, for every meal. But what it's done, though, is it's created an odour that's sort of seeped into the curtains and the couches of the White House, and now it smells like a fast food restaurant. So they're having to do quite a deep clean at the moment to try and get rid of the smell. Obviously, for our preparation for... Bobby Biden doesn't want to walk in there and smell Big Macs and KFC chips.

And all the sheets they'd have to wash for the fake tan, you know. Oh, imagine. So we were driving back yesterday and Clara, who works here, never had KFC. She's never had it. Wow. That's crazy. Yeah. Isn't it?

So what haven't you done? 0800 the hits that most people have. 4487 on the text as well. I've got a family friend. Never had a birthday party. Never had a birthday party until age 40. Wow. Never had the, was the oldest child,

so probably held the birthday parties for the younger siblings. Oh, wow. So first birthday at age 40, she's gone, I've been missing out. Everyone buys your stuff. It's all about you. Pass the parcel. Pin the tail on the donkey.

Weird games at age 40, but anyway. 40, but all right. We'll roll with it. Musical statues. It was a fun day. It was a fun day. So 0800, that's the telephone number. What haven't you done?

Rebecca, welcome. You're on the air from Talmud. What have you never done that most have? Well, it's not me. It's my grandma. She had a McDonald's birthday party for her. I think it was her 88th. She'd never had one.

We had the whole, the happy meals, everything for her. That is adorable. What's the lung capacity when you're blowing out the candles on a cake for an 88-year-old? Oh, I don't know. She's 99 now, though. She's still going strong. Oh, wow. That's impressive.

Did she enjoy her first McDonald's-themed party? She did, and McDonald's said that they had never done a McDonald's party for a grandma. Oh, that's lovely. Did she still get kids' rates? Yeah, she did, actually. Oh, that's good. And rolling around in the ball pit afterwards in the playground?

Not quite. No, she was not up for that. I used to love going to McDonald's because you'd just be so jacked up and you'd be inside the Hamburglar prison there. You could rock back and forth. There's about 40 kids in there going, rah! Well, that's cool. They had a party hat and everything.

It was great. That's awesome. It's actually a wonderful location for a birthday, isn't it, Mac? No one ever doesn't like McDonald's. Well, thank you for sharing that story with us. We're going to flick you out something, all right? Hold the line. Awesome, thank you.

Crystal, you're on the air. What have you not done that most have? Never broken a bone. It's overrated. If you're going to do it, pick a little toe or a little finger or something. I don't think I have, to be honest. Haven't you? No.

So, yeah. It's not. Remember, you broke my bone. You've kind of broken a bone. I'll try again. You broke mine. You broke my collarbone. Oh, here we go.

Yeah, no, he doesn't like it. It's one of those old person bickering stories that we were talking about again. You broke mine. You broke my collarbone. Oh, here we go. Yeah, no, he doesn't like it. It's one of those old person bickering stories that we were talking about before. Here he goes. He's got to go on about the broken collarbone. I'm excited about this. Have you almost, have you sprained anything? No.

Nothing? No. Oh, wow. Have you just been sitting in a room for your entire life, not moving? Yeah, no. Or had very good luck? Lucky, I guess. Yeah, no, well, you keep that up. Yeah. Amber's on the, good luck Lucky, I guess Yeah, no, well you keep that up Amber's on the phone from Christchurch

What haven't you done that most have, Amber? I haven't watched the Titanic movie It does take a while It takes a good three hours out of your life But you haven't watched the movie? Nah, I've never sat down and watched it Oh, there's a spoiler alert. The boat. Oh, don't say it.

Don't tell her. I won't ruin it for you. You'll never guess what happens at the end. Hey, good on you, Amber. You're going to have a great Tuesday, okay? Thanks. Stacey's on the phone from the Waikato. What haven't you done that most have, Stace?

I've never watched James Bond, Star Wars, Harry Potter, or Lord of the Rings movie. I'm probably in the same category. Are you? I'm probably, yeah James Bond, Star Wars, Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings movie. Probably in the same category. Yeah. Not a movie person. Are you not a movie person, Stacey? I don't mind them. I just never had any interest in those particular ones.

Yeah, but people are very passionate. You get the cult following, don't you? Yeah, you do. Yeah, Lord of the Rings. I felt bad about Lord of the Rings. I felt like you were running New Zealand. It was your rite of passage to become a Kiwi. I was like, yeah, you need to go along and support the movies.

Go along. We're still supporting it. 40 years later, we're still all about Lord of the Rings. Wellington's still got it everywhere, right? They really committed to the Lord of the Rings theme in the capital, didn't they? Hey, good on you, Stacey. Have a great day.

You too. Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime. Just search Jono and Ben on Instagram. Rofeair Rideshare is finally here with Didi. It's the Didi Cash Car. We did this yesterday. If you've registered

at the hitstockcode.nz, it could be turning up in your neighbourhood. You've got 60 seconds to run out and get to the car and you'll get $500 cash if you get there within 60 seconds. It's not too late to register online at the hits.co.nz. I mean, it's probably too late for today's one. Let's be honest, you might be leaving a little late.

But tomorrow, you're still in the running. So we'll cross now to Felix from the Hits in Christchurch. More data to Felix. How are you, mate? Good, thanks, guys. How are you? Oh, doing well. We haven't spoken in a while.

It's been a while in between drinks. Yep, it has. And you're sifting around the streets of Christchurch. And we've really signposted the fact that we've got a carload of cash, haven't we? And I don't know if this is the safest. I mean, everyone knows you've got a bunch of cash in the car

with you right now, Felix. But what suburb are you in? We're in Islam right now. Okay, Islam. And you're about to pull up outside one of the houses that is registered for this. So who's registered? Whose house are we outside? We're outside Ollie's house.

Ollie Chick right now. Ollie Chick. Okay. Now, Ollie has 60 seconds once you pull up. I'm a friend of the show, Ollie. Yeah. I thought the name sounded familiar. Yeah.

Ollie has 60 seconds to get out of the house and into the cash car. Along the way, having to confusingly go under a limbo stick as well. So that potentially you can spend the five... Which we didn't understand yesterday. It's all about keeping the prices low. Oh, yeah, I understand that now. Because Max was like, hey, she's limboing out. And I'm like, what?

It's just really taking an unconventional way of getting to the car in 60 seconds. Now I understand why he said this. There's an easier option, I know what you're saying. Just opening the door and sitting in. So you can spend the $500 maybe at the chiropractor after you've been done a first, an early morning limbo. So we'll start the timer now, Felix. What can you see? I can see a short way driveway.

There's quite a few cars parked up the drive. It's looking like all of the curtains are closed right now. So I don't know if anyone can see us. We thought we saw some blind things looking before. Sounds like you're outside a tinny house. It's a very nice looking house. We give Ollie some credit here. Okay, so the curtains are shut,

which means they might all be sleeping right now. 60 seconds for Ollie to get out to win this $500, if not at jackpots. Yes, tomorrow. Come on, Ollie. Let's go. We're not seeing any movement right now. 30 seconds left.

Should we try and get him on the phone? Producer Humphrey, Ollie. We're going to give Ollie a call to see if we can get Ollie out there before the 60 seconds is up. 20 seconds left on the clock, Felix. Any movement? We're not seeing anything right now. I'm feeling quite stressed. This is devastating.

It's all thanks to Didi, the lower fare ride share option, launching nationwide very soon, but in Auckland right now. We're getting no answer on the phone. There's no one running out, and there's the timer up at Jackpot's tomorrow. Oh, the thoughts and emotions there, Felix and Ireland. What are you thinking? It's pretty devastating, to be honest.

I'm feeling sad. Ollie's missed out on 500 bucks. You know, it's cold. It's going to be awkward now if Ollie comes out, but you just get to drive off. That's the savage world of the cash car. The way the cookie crumbles. Jack Potts again tomorrow.

I'd like you to do a sad limbo for us to take us out on the sad limbo outside the car. We can do that. We'll commemorate the day with that. It sounds depressing already, that limbo. Sad limbo. How does a sad limbo go? Everybody, limbo, limbo, limbo.

Good on you, Felix. You look after yourself in Christchurch, okay? Thanks, guys. We'll do it again tomorrow. Thanks to DD, the lower fare ride share option. 10% lower than other comparable services. Download the app today. And a grand tomorrow.

Woo, jackpot. Wake up full of shame. Wake up with these guys. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Yesterday we took a drive after the show to Tokoroa and we met some amazing people there, didn't we, Jono? Yeah, we did. Part of the Coca-Cola Good Buggers campaign,

which is happening at the moment. You can nominate a Good Bugger and we'll go and visit them. The show ponies will ride into town. We'll hand them $500 and also a very special bottle of Coke as well. And it's recognition, isn't it, from their friends, family, the community, to say thank you for all the good work you're doing. It's amazing yesterday, just to experience. So what Sarah nominated Christina and Richard,

and they have a programme called the Eclipse Project, and they do wonderful stuff with the community at Tokaroa, especially the youth, really looking after people, helping them, nurturing them, guiding them. It was amazing to see the bond they had with the community and just what they do for the kids. Oh, special people out there, aren't there, like this in this country?

And we drove into Tokoroa. There's a sign there saying, Welcome Jono and Ben. I think previous to that it was like, Get lost, Jono and Ben. But just for today it was a welcome one. Yeah, that was a lovely touch. And so we went in there and then we're greeted

with this video, this montage of, I think, every child in Tokoroa being forced to welcome us. Kia ora, Tōkaroa and Ben. Welcome to Tokoroa. Let's go. Hey, Tōkaroa and Ben. Welcome to Tokoroa.

Let's go. Welcome to Tokoroa from Tokoroa Law School. It was awesome, actually. It was wonderful, isn't it? We didn't realise it was a video for us, and they said, oh, when you do the intro, just say there's a video. And we thought it was all about the Eclipse Projects.

We're like, now everyone watch this video. That was all about welcome to us. It looked like we had gone around and made these poor children say welcome to our family. Very North Korean. Very North Korean. So anyway, then we walked into the building, walked into the Eclipse Youth Centre,

greeted with a pōwh you, goosebumps, wasn't it? That was special. So there's about 100, 150 people in here. And then Christina and Richard, they got up, they had words to thank the community, and how humble is their speech? Thanks, everyone, for being here today. We're very appreciative of this.

There's a lot of people in our community who do amazing things and they volunteer their time just like we do. Thanks to our community for supporting today because it's me. This is Tauke. This is who we are.

Very nice. So, I mean, they go up to make an acceptance speech but then end up thanking everyone else for all their hard work. Richard did the same thing. Thank you, everybody, for coming out. We do a lot of good stuff, but there's a lot of people that are behind us when we do our good stuff.

So it does look like we're doing a lot of good work, but the young ones that we work with, they put in a lot of hard work. Your work wasn't forgotten and won't be forgotten. Here we go. And there were so many touching speeches as well from the youth of Tokoroa saying you've literally saved my life to them. It was amazing to be part of

and just to experience that. And if you want to, they put on a hangi for us afterwards as well. I tell you, and we ruined so many good school shirts by scribbling our names. They're like, this is a bad idea, but okay. Yeah, so it was really cool to meet everyone yesterday and if you want to

nominate someone, a good bugger in your community, just like Richard and Christina, then you head to the hits.co.nz for the rest of the week.

We'll be travelling around the country giving away our $500 and the good bugger trophy that we've made and sharing a coke with these amazing, amazing New Zealanders.

Lou in calories and Lou in laughs. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Scrolling through your page. Yes, this is the only news organisation that gathers all of their information from Ladbible. And Kate Hawksby's early edition on ZB when he's driving into work every morning. It's Ben Boyce.

What's been happening? Well, encouraging news in the fight against COVID. There's a vaccine that has been tested on about 44,000 people. And they reckon so far tests are 90% effective with no side effects. How amazing is that? It's really positive. I mean, it's not saying it's all out there and we're going to get it out there straight away, but it's a positive step, right?

I see. So Pfizer's the company, and our government has done a deal with Pfizer. Oh, really? We've pre-ordered some of the Pfizer ones, and another company called BioNTech, I don't know where they're at, but we put our eggs in the Pfizer basket. Oh, that's good then, it's positive. Yeah, so the deal is we get 1.5 million COVID-19 vaccines,

which is enough for 750,000 people. Because you need two vaccines per person, yeah. Oh, do you have to have two shots? Yeah, and I was saying today on Kate Hawkesbury's show, as I was listening on the way to work, it's not until a week after the second one that they reckon that the immunity starts to kick in. So you do have to wait.

That's probably about a month after getting the injections by the time you get two before you may be, may be all going well immune from COVID-19. Anti-vaxxers would have an inner turmoil over this one, surely. Well, yeah, well, it's true. And do you want to be the first? I mean, everyone wants to stop COVID, obviously, but do you want to be the first? I mean, everyone wants to stop COVID, obviously, but do you want to be the first people signing up for this?

It's going to be an interesting dilemma for a lot of people if it happens. But positive signs so far in the world. We've got to fight against this. They're trying to rush through to get some of the vaccines out potentially out for Christmas time over in Europe and stuff. You imagine there's an order of priority in terms of the countries. We'd be down the list,

wouldn't we? Because we've only got a few cases here. The States, UK, Italy. You know there's an order of priority in terms of the countries. We'd be down the list, wouldn't we? Because we've only got a few cases here. The States, UK, Italy. You know, we're behind those big bangers. Yeah, exactly. And they deserve it right now, obviously, because it's

going rampant over there. So hopefully that happens as well. And also in Christchurch news closer to home, it's Cup Day. It's Cup Week. Addington Raceway

in Christchurch. Speaking of devastation. It's a big week in Christchurch. We've been down to Cup Day a couple of times. Producer Juliet, you're going down this weekend. I'm going down for the Saturday ones. Speaking of devastation. It's a big week in Christchurch. We've been down to Cup Day a couple of times. Producer Juliet, you're going down this weekend?

I'm going down for the Saturday ones. I'm so excited. I've gone down every year for the last like five years. We won't see Juliet for four weeks after this. No. People turn up

looking so amazing. Like, you know, fascinators on, lovely dresses. Tuxedos. And then within an hour or two, it is just a mess. Caused more damage than the earthquakes down there that day.

It's just terrible. It is terrible. There's a little patch there at the racetrack, isn't there, that we like to call the Gaza Strip. And it's just a line of food trucks and bars. And every time we've gone down there to do radio, you just end up with people just yelling into microphones. And that's pretty much the radio show for four hours, isn't it?

A lot of fun, though. A great day out to be going to head along. I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I remember once we went down for a TV show and we were like, oh, we did this thing where we started in our jockeys, like underpants, because jockeys are horses. And so we were like, oh, we're starting our jockeys.

We'll see if we can borrow clothes of people and then get into a full suit or whatever we can borrow. No one will give us anything. That's what we thought. Within moments, it's like we were fully dressed. In three minutes, lady handed over her dress to Ben. I don't know what she spent the rest of the day in. These people were like, take my top, take my pants, take my undies,

whatever it was, they just handed it over. The thing is, people wandering at 10 and they're already like, they're on about 115 to 120 at 10am. So I don't know at what point they started pre-loading, but I'm going to say 6 o'clock in the morning. If you get bored, you can watch some horse racing, but you don't get bored because it's a lot of fun there. A lot of people there are like, there's horses here?

What are they doing? That's what I say every year. I never see any horses. Cup day, it is so much fun. So join if you're going along there today. Like starting your day with Panda Eyes. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Synchronise answers.

Yeah, this is where we give you a prize, but we try and steal it off you if we can sync up our answers. And it brings us an unreasonable amount of joy when we do nail this because it doesn't happen often, Ben. That's right. Now, if we can't synchronise an answer, sorry, you'll get yourself some Hell Pizza. $40 worth of Hell Pizza.

Try the new Silencer of the Lambs pizza on the weekend. Very good from Hell Pizza. Lovely pizza, so you can get that right now. As well as plenty of free range ingredients, plant-based, vegetarian and gluten-free options available. Did you pay for it or did you use one of these vouchers? I paid for it. I believe you're single-handedly sinking

Hell Pizza. Every day. I give it away to people listening, not for myself. Flicking out hell pizza vouchers left, right and centre. Let's welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast, Sabrina Moreno. How are you, Sabrina? Good morning. Good, thanks. How are you? Yeah, we're good. Now, we understand. A little birdie tells us that

you may have an association with producer Juliette, Sabrina. Oh, maybe just a wee one. Hey, Sabrina. Sounds like insider trading or something. Now, you tell us what Juliette's really like, because I feel we get a sanitised version of producer Juliette in the morning. Oh, no, she's pretty simple, to be honest. Maybe just a little bit more wacky, which is,

have you had a couple of drinks today? Oh, yeah, that sounds about right. And how do you know each other? We went to high school together. Oh, yeah. That sounds about right. And how do you know each other? We went to high school together. Oh, really? We had a bottomless high tea on the weekend together. It was good times. Oh, really?

Now, when does that stop? Is it actually bottomless? You can stay there until... You usually have a two-hour window, but they were generous and gave us three hours. Oh, that's good. And you're just eating anything you can? Eating and drinking as much as you can.

That sounds dangerous. Was there any tea consumed? No. The high tea, okay. No, there wasn't. I was thinking that. High tea really gives you a false idea of what you're doing. Put the high into high tea, though.

All right, Sabrina, producer Juliette, a.k.a. your good friend, is going to throw out a category, and we're going to try and sync up the answer, okay? You just need to sit there. You don't have to do anything. The help is all yours at the moment unless we synchronise our answer. All right, name for me, boys, a character in The Lord of the Rings. Voldemort.

Voldemort. That's not even right. What's he from? Harry Potter. You've dressed as Voldemort before. Are you reading Harry Potter to your son? Yeah, no, I get confused between Lord of the Rings. You got quite flustered.

Yeah, I did. I got flustered. I'm sorry. And I've never seen Lord of the Rings. Okay. Very unpatriotic. Clearly. All right.

Next category. This might be more in your wheelhouse, Jono. Name for me a type of meat. Lamb. Ooh. I thought you were going to go lamb because of the pizza. Oh, yeah. True. Sabrina, you've still got your hell pizza vouch go lamb because of the pizza. Oh, yeah. True.

Sabrina, you've still got your Hell Pizza vouchers. We haven't stolen them yet, mate. We haven't synchronised an answer. Our last chance to try and synchronise the answer. And name for me, not sure if this one's in your wheelhouse, boys, but name for me a type of dance. Macarena.

Gangnam style. Oh, jeez. Well, congratulations, Sabrina. We didn't synchronise our answer, and you've got some hell pizza, right? Cool. Thank you so much. And we increased the credibility of the show by saying Gangnam Style and Macarena, two of the hottest dance moves of 2020.

A couple of dads, just a couple of dads, eh? Battling their way through the show. Name dancers we do at weddings. Oh, God. That could have been that. That would also be the same answer, right? Hey, Sabrina, look after yourself, okay? Bang.

We apologise in advance. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Spy. No, what's up? Spy.co.nz. Celebrity gossip is what gets this woman out of bed in the morning. That and an obnoxious alarm clock. Here's producer Juliet with Spy.

Thanks. I need to change my alarm clock. I'm getting a bit sick of it Have you got the standard one You know the Oh I used to have that one And then that just sounded Like the devil to my ears

So I had to change that And then I think I think it's You should change Your alarm clock regularly It's funny when you hear Someone else's text Or tone

That is your alarm clock You're just like PTSD I know It gives you a little Bit of a shudder eh Yeah So in Celebrity Gossip The song Bye Bye Bye by NSYNC

is back on the charts and it's not thanks to TikTok. It's kind of similarly what I said yesterday, like Miley Cyrus' song Party in the USA. It's because Joe Biden won and they're saying bye bye bye to Donald Trump, essentially. I see what they've done there. I see what they've done there. I see what they've done there. I tell you what, if I was an old retired artist at the moment,

I would just be praying to the music gods that someone puts my song on TikTok and it blows up. You'd be trying your own TikTok challenges. You're like, do it to this song, guys. That's where we go, oh, lame. Forcing little kids. Speaking of bye-bye-bye to Donald Trump, I saw by Don in the Biden logo.

I thought that was very clever, by Don. That's good. That's good. Joe Biden had a good one, eh? Because Donald was like, if Joe Biden wins the presidency, I'm moving out of America. And then Joe Biden replied, by Den. By Den.

He's got a flexible name. He has. Good for wordplay. So good. He tweeted that, Joe Biden? Joe Biden hasn't even heard. He probably calls it Twatter or something. Twatter. Twatter.

Twatter and the TikTok and the book face. And supermodel Kate Moss, she has admitted. There's my alarm. It's just going off. Stop going off. That was anticlimactic. But Kate Moss, she's admitted that her boyfriend, who she's been dating for five years,

I think he's a German photographer, she made him buy her a ring to go on her wedding finger because that finger felt empty after her previous marriage broke up. So she's not married to this guy, obviously. She's not married. She's insisting that they're not married, but apparently they like going jewellery shopping together and she said, I need a ring on this finger, just so it doesn't feel empty.

Just so it's empty. Oh, good play, good play. She's Kate Moss. She would have rings. Yeah. She'd have rings to put on. She'd just swap the one that's on there and put it over there. That's a very good point.

No, but it's not the same. You know what? I had never, and I got fully played here. Jen, when she had Oscar our first, she's like, oh, push presents. You've got to give me a push present. I was like, what's a push? I thought the push present was the thing you've been wrestling out of your womb for 12 hours. I thought that was the gift.

But no, I got a necklace, a push present. And I didn't do my research. They're not a thing. Push presents? Yeah. Are they not a thing? Oh, I don't know. I don't know.

I'd never heard of them before. But hey, you know, some people, since you brought it up, other people, it's happened to some people. Yeah, Bryce, yeah. So I went around our friend group, and then so all the guys are like, good one, idiot. Yeah, nice. Trying to buy a push present. Set the standard. Do you usually have to buy a push present for both, like if you've had two children or more than one?

Is it one for each child, or is it just, I don't know? Well, I asked the guy who bought push presents, so I don't know. Is it for each push? There you go, that's three presents there, well done. Triplets, you'd done that. Is it for each push? There you go. That's three presents there. Well done. Triplets, you'd be making it rain, wouldn't you? Oh, you absolutely would be.

And that's five. For more, you can check out the hits.co.nz. Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime. Just search Jono and Ben on Facebook. We like to end the show on finding out why today's going to be a good day in your life. So give us a call, 0800 THE HITS 4487 and bring some positivity to

New Zealand. Yeah, now I know you like my inspirational quips and quotes don't you? You made up another one. I don't make them up. The last one that he was questioning was life's like a motorway. Sometimes you take the wrong exit. Sometimes you have an accident, but you keep on travelling down that motorway.

Unless your car's written off and you're in hospital with a broken leg. But then once that's recovered, you're back on the motorway. Back on the motorway, you're right. So today, Ben, life's like a sewer. You get out of it what you put into it. What? Don't question them. Don't remember all of them. When Nostradamus was just saying stuff What are you putting into the sewer?

Crap, so are you putting anything else? That's right, so don't put crap into your sewer Where else are you going to put it? What could you put better than that? That's what it's designed for, isn't it? Yeah Just don't question these things That's not a good one

Why is today going to not a good one. It's not a good one. It's a good one. So, oh, I entered the 2487. Why is today going to be a good day? Back in the day, you would have been a troll. Hey, what are you on about

in Australia? Michael Angelo, you're wasting your time painting that roof. Who's going to look up? Who's going to look up at that chapel? The chapel roof.

People are going to get sore necks. Oh, yes. Every day this week, just about an hour ago, we do the DD Cash Car. DD is a new rideshare service. And we send the cash car to your house, and you've got 60 seconds to run out to win the $500. Now, we did this today.

You can register online at thehits.co.nz. And we're outside Ollie's house in Christchurch. The timer went off. 60 seconds went up. the buzzer sounded, and Ollie, you've just phoned through. You there, mate? How are you? Hey. Oh, mate.

We got it. Yeah, I was in the shower. Oh. Hygiene, always getting in the way of the novelty cash car outside your house. Yeah. Oh, you ran out. Oh, that's a shame. You're so close to getting 500 bucks.

I know. What do you want to getting $500. I know. What do you want to say to the future cash car competitors? Don't have showers. And that's a lesson we can all take away from this. Showering, it's not for winning. Oh, Ollie, we're really gutted. We really do appreciate you. You've been listening to our shows for a while.

We really do appreciate that. It's been great. And we're really sorry. We would have loved to have given you $500. No, that's okay. It's a good lesson though. Don't have showers because you'll be stinking of cash. Not a great start to the day for Ollie, but good

for you because tomorrow it jackpots to $1,000. Let's go to the phones. Ella, you're on the air. Why is it going to be a good one? Because I just got a pay rise. How much? Oh no, I don't need pay rise. Whoop whoop! How much? Oh no, I don't need those details. Are you happy with the pay rise? I am.

It's good for now. Oh great. It's good for now. Next year I'll want another one and more annual leave. Six months? Six months annual leave. Yeah, I think we've had that this year, haven't we? Good on you Ella, appreciate that. Have a good one. Shirley's on from Cambridge. Why's it going to be a good day in Cambridge, Shirley?

I'm going shopping for my two great-grandchildren today. Oh, you're a dork. Hopefully I can find something. You sound very suspicious, Shirley. I love it. Well, kids today have got so much. Oh, they do too much, Shirley. And what I can afford might not be good enough.

Back in the day, you'd just buy them a pack of ciggies and they'd be happy, eh, Shirley? Oh, they're not that old. I'm sure whatever you get them will be wonderful. Shirley, you hold the line. We're going to give you something, all right? Thank you. Love you, Shirley.

Paula, you're on the air. Why is it going to be a good day for you today? Oh, it's going to be a good day today because it's rained so heavy overnight it's finally washed all the duck shit off the drive. See, you didn't have to do it. That's a great thing when nature does it.

You're like, thank you. We're not allowed to do it. I'm not allowed to use the hose. Oh, are you in Auckland with the water shortage? I see. Unfortunately, yes.

Yeah, you're going to have to scrape it off with a knife or something. But nature, nature's hose did it for you, Shel. It just bakes in the sun. Good on you, Paula.

I love it. It's the little things. We'll send you off to the movies, eh? Reading cinemas, Paula. Oh, thanks. Have a good day. We've got time for one more, do we? Kearney, welcome from Auckland.

Why is it going to be a good day for you? Because I have the day off. Oh, what do you do? Well, the kids are at school, so just chill. Just chill. Isn't it good when you've got the house to yourself? Yes, definitely. About an hour later, the novelty wears off and you get quite lonely.

Yeah, you are. Oh, my God, I do. But enjoy those 60 minutes. They're going to be blissful. Kearney, have a great day. You have a great day. All right, thank you so much for listening, and we'll catch you guys tomorrow from 6.
