Jono, Ben & Megan - The Podcast - October 08 - Reception Reception, Six60, Your Weird Kid Questions

Episode Date: October 9, 2020

On today's show, we were joined by Matiu & Chris from Six60 as they announce their epic summer tour. For all those deets head to thehits.co.nz! Jono also had to have the birds and bees chat with his 7-year-old daughter Poppy after she saw something on TV... and we got some epic calls on the most awkward questions your children have asked you. Reception Reception also made a comeback! If it's the first time you've heard of it, Jono phones a random receptionist in NZ and leaves an embarrassing message for Ben, that he then has to retrieve. This time, Ben was a "local MP" and Jono was a journalist who had to do some fact-checking about the dodgy things Ben had done.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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. Hey, this is another podcast. Jono and Ben, back at you, you boys.

Back at you for another one. It's lovely to have you here. I wonder where people listen to this. What do you mean? Like, you know, where do you generally listen? Excuse me. Oh, to a podcast, as far as what you're doing. Yeah, like

doing welding in a factory. Are you, maybe you're in the middle of a court case in the high court and you've got us in your ears. Maybe you're driving the car. I usually listen to Walking the Dog. I like listening to podcasts. Walking the Dog's your podcast time. Normally it's my podcast time. It's my podcast time. I listen to radio

that way. Sometimes I like listening to podcasts when I'm in the shower. Shower podcast. Shower podcast. Okay. The full hour and that's why Auckland has a water shortage. It's been very hot on the water shortage, aren't you? He's always telling me off for having too long of showers.

Oh, I just hear ads about it all the time. They even sent little timers. Oh, yeah, what a waste of money. How about instead of spending money on little timers, plastic timers you can stick to the side of your shower wall, how about you maybe buy some more water? I think they're looking into that, aren't they? I do wonder, though, because Auckland, it rains so much.

You're like, every time it rains, you're like, surely, surely we've topped it up now. And they're like, no, they? Yeah, well then don't. I do wonder though because Auckland, it rains so much. You're like, every time it rains, you're like, surely, surely we've topped it up now. And they're like, no, no, no, no. And then again it rains, you're like, surely now.

And they're like, no, no, no. So it's still low apparently. Yeah, well I tell you what, actually if you remind me, I've left my shower on. We better wrap this up. I'm going to go turn it off.

Enjoy the podcast. Exciting podcast today. 660, the boys from 660 join us ahead of a huge announcement for them. As well as that reception, reception. It's back again. Jono embarrasses me by ringing a random receptionist somewhere in New Zealand. Oh, you're MP today, weren't you?

Local MP Benjamin Boyce. Oh yeah, not doing a great job and having some interesting policies. So enjoy the podcast. The soggy cornflakes of radio. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Now you know when you're a child and you're watching a movie with your family and

your parents are there and a scene comes on and you're dying inside. It's a scene you never want to watch. Yeah. With an older relative. Have you had this

happen before? Oh I've had it happen yeah with my parents you know well you know mum and dad growing up. You're kind of like oh this is awkward. Yeah Fifty Shades of Grey

was a bad choice. Yeah I was like why did they take mum to the movies? Why don't we go see this? And why are we together? Just me and Dad growing up. You're kind of like, oh, this is awkward. Yeah, Fifty Shades of Grey was a bad choice. I was like, why did they take Mum to the movies? Why don't we go see this? And why are we together? Just me and her at Fifty Shades of Grey. Yeah, like, okay. But anyway, we did.

We saw it for the storyline. It was a wonderful storyline. We enjoyed it. Have you heard of Police Academy? No. The Millennial Junior. What is this about? Oh, the old school movies.

Oh, old school. There were about six of them, didn't they? Yeah, that was sort of like, it was a bumbling academy of police recruits. Misfit cops that kind of got together and yeah, they became quite good, but they're kind of, yeah, that's right. Yeah, it was sort of like late 80s, early 90s

and it was based around, there was one actor, Michael Winslow, who was good at sound effects. So he was a cop, but he could do all sorts of sound effects. That's right. Like of guns, so he could go, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.

Obviously better than that, but yeah. Helicopters and all that. Yeah, and he could do s sorts of sound effects. That's right. Like of guns, so he could go, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Obviously better than that, but yeah. Helicopters and all that. Yeah, and he could do sirens. Woo, woo. That's right, yeah. Yeah, he was very good. So that was pretty much the thing that dragged the Police Academy series

through six movies. Yeah. Was his mouth. Yeah. But there was a scene in the movie because I was like, oh, Poppy will watch Police Academy. She's my daughter.

She'll watch it with your daughter, yeah. And there's a scene where one of the cops, he likes the ladies and he walks into a sort of apartment and there's four ladies there, but uh-oh, they don't have tops on, Juliet. No, really?

There's a lot to see. A lot of stuff that I don't like looking at. I'm going to go on record. But it was all there on record. Not at all. But it was all there on display. And probably my daughter's like, why would they do that? And I was like, oh, these people get, you know, they're paid to.

It's the storyline. And she's like, why wouldn't they blur it out? What are those things down there? And she started, like, no follow-up questions. A dad doesn't want to explain this. This, right. This is up there with, you know, where did I come from? Yeah. I've got no answer to that.

That's an awkward question. Yeah, so anyway, it ended up, I ended up in a bit of a Google session, searching for stuff. Oh, here we go. Oh, no. Don't you show Poppy. Here we go. I don't want to be part of this.

But whatever this is that we're doing whatever this is this story obviously didn't happen but now you've created this scenario to basically get away with your internet search and I explained to her those are there and I was just pointing things out to her and it was a show and tell session I had no other way to explain it

I don't have them so I had to look and research them. Yeah, yeah. And that's the only thing. But what I want to do here is not get thrown under the bus by my co-host. I wanted to throw out the most difficult kid questions you've been asked. Because she once asked me, you know, why don't birds have eyebrows? That's a really good question.

Why don't birds have eyebrows? I's a really good question. Why don't birds have eyebrows? I was saying yesterday, my daughter Sienna asked, why don't adults have sleepovers? Like, you know, kids always get excited about sleepovers. Because it's weird. Some adults do have sleepovers, but I didn't want to get into that. Which is also a little weird. But if it's your thing, it's not weird.

Also, there's another question that Oscar asked the other day. He's like, what's the name of the space between the bottom of the door and the floor? That's a big question. A gap? A gap? I don't know. What is it? And I Googled that as well.

Oh, good. I'm glad you're Googling other things. I Googled that as well, but you won't want to focus on that. You just want to focus on the other one. Oh, yeah. I also Googled the eye. You didn't spend as much time looking at the gaps under the doors, did you? Remember to double pump the virgles.

It's Jono and Ben on the hits. We want to know from you this morning, what is the awkward question you've been asked by your kids? Yeah, I got into a bit of a hole yesterday with Poppy, my daughter, and it resulted from a scene in a movie, and it resulted in me Googling some stuff and being questioning the content I was Googling and it was all above board. Because it's sound above board.

It's above board. It doesn't get more above board than that. And yeah, hey, there may be some images on your computer now that relate to research purposes and it was purely for educational reasons. And so that was the backstory to that. And if anyone is wanting to know or investigate. Okay. So we want to know this morning what was the awkward question

that your kids have asked. Love to hear from you on our 100 The Hits. We just spoke to Trish while those songs were playing off the air and I'm glad we did because we had to beat this out. Have a listen. So my stepson has just started sixth education at school sitting down to dinner and he's like what the f***

what's it you taught? Oh that's a biggie, what's a... What's a e-tron? Oh, that's a biggie. That's a biggie. Wow. Oh, that's probably a bad... Bad term to use after the end of that. Okay. And for the little ears listening,

it was, what's a bottle of tomato sauce? Yeah, and it's used for accompanying sauce, you know, put inside of, you know, chips, hot chips. Yeah, it's a versatile condiment. It really is. So 0800, the hit's the telephone number, 4487. Complicated kid questions. What were you asked?

Ben Boyce, I know you had to explain the tax system to your children. Oh, they did, yeah. I did actually get to that. Never too young to learn about the tax system. That's what I've always said. Or they got paid for something and then they're like, how come it wasn't as much? It's like, oh, the tax, tax.

And they're like, what? Yeah, it's quite a, you could see the little, you know, the little souls get crushed by what I was just saying. I felt really bad going, will the government take some money off you? And he got them a little game called My First Audit. And you can end up in prison

for five to 10 years. White collar prison. That's right, the one where the lady from Full House is going. All right, out of the hits, then awkward kid questions. Jenny joins us from Upper Hutt. Welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast, Jembo.

Hi, how are you guys? We're doing well, mate. Lovely to talk to you. What happened? Well, it's not really a question, but when my son was about four years old, I'd just got home from work, and he came out to meet me in the car,

and he was looking really concerned. And I said, what's wrong? He said, oh, I'm a bit worried. He said, I thought, what's the problem? He said, I think there's something wrong with my penis. Oh, okay. We're going there, are we? Okay.

Oh, I probably shouldn't have used that word. Well, it is a medical term. It's a medical term. Yeah. And what was wrong with it? Well, I was just thinking, oh, God, what's going on? I thought, what's the problem? What do you think's wrong?

And he sort of puts his hand out about half a metre away from the stomach and goes, sometimes it just gets this big. Oh, we did go there. Yeah, we did go there. I was thinking, oh, maybe it's not going to go where it did. No, but it did.

Thank you, Jenny. Oh, no, Jenny, please stop talking. I think you've done a good one. Jenny, you hold the line. We'll give you a golf ball so you can hopefully get $10,000. And we'll put you on hold. I think it's the safest for everyone, putting Jenny on hold. Maybe Jenny's going to surprise us here.

Oh no, there we go. She surprised me because it was where I thought, oh no, it can't be. I'm very nervous about going to Martin. Martin, welcome to New Zealand's breakfast. Complicated. 40 guys, how's it going? Yeah, good. Can you beat Jenny?

Yeah, well, there's no penises involved. Oh, God. Okay, apologies again, guys. But it is the correct medical term. It is right, Ben. So you're not saying, okay, go. This has been a shocking three minutes. Now, my daughter, she's 14 at the moment,

but last year we were sitting there, me and the wife were watching Stephen Sharp, I think it was, and she pops her head around the corner and she goes, hey, Dad, how long does it take for a body to decompose in the dirt? That's a fair question. Yeah, she turns out she's doing murder studies.

She ended us off somewhere. Yeah, she's been... Turns out she's doing murder studies, social studies. She ended us off somewhere. Oh, that's good. Hey, Dad, neighbour was annoying me. How long does it take to... Oh, that's so good. You're on the line. We're going to send you out a golf ball, all right, to hopefully get you 10 grand, OK?

Good on you, Martin. And let's head to Bluff, wonderful part of the country. Bluff. That's making me nervous now. Let's see what Hannah's got. How can Hannah get us a Broadcasting Standards Authority complaint? Let's find out. Welcome to the show, Hannah.

What was your complicated kid question? Hey, well, it wasn't really a question. She just, my eight-year-old said to me a few months ago, we're sitting at the table, me, her, and her big sister, who's 14. Well, almost 14. She was 13 at the time. Well, she was 13. Anyway, she said to me,

I didn't know you had to have sex to have a baby. Oh, God. Okay, okay. I'm like, what? Where's this coming from? All right, let's just pop her on hold. Let's pop her on hold as well. Everyone's popped on hold.

Everyone gets a golf ball. Everyone's in the draw for 10 grand. There we go. We'll show you a chance to get 10 grand as well. It's all happening big week. Play something. Play something. Smokescreen.

Smokescreen. Serving bowls of lols for breakfast. Actual lols may not be served. It's Jono and Ben on the heads. Now, reception, reception happens after 8 o'clock each week on our show on a Thursday. This is where Jono calls a random receptionist somewhere in New Zealand and just leaves me a message, I go out of the room and you leave the message with the receptionist in the hope that they'll pass on that message, that embarrassing

message to me when I call them back I don't know what the message is, I hear it for the first time Yeah, now we ended this before we went on holiday for a week and you got me back and you thought that was the end of it There we go, that's the finale, wrap that up Then we held a referendum Ben, and the people We didn't know which way Jacinda was voting on that No, she never said which way she was going to vote So you're like, well, there we go. That's the finale. Wrap that up. It's done. Then we held a referendum, Ben.

We didn't know which way Jacinda was voting on that. No, she never said which way she was going to vote. Why won't she say, come on? Oh, come on. Oh, come on. Tell us. Why won't she tell us which way she wants? Well, I tell you what. She did vote in this, and it's returned.

So you make of that what you will. So you get out of the room into your sweet little soundproof booth where you cry, shed a single tear and we'll leave a message. We're going to go head to Taupo tomorrow so we'll as well call there and phone there now and leave you a message. Good morning, this is Margaret.

Hi Margaret, how are you? I'm good, how are you? Yeah good, listen it's Don Campbell calling from the local newspaper, the Taupo Tatla. Yes. We're doing a bit of an article the local newspaper, the Taupo Tatla. Yes. We're doing a bit of an article on local MP Benjamin Boyce running for Parliament. I'm gathering you'll be voting for him? I don't know. No.

Okay, still undecided. No worries. Undecided, yeah. Listen, he asked me if I could leave a message with you and then you could pass it on to him at some point. Okay. It's a little unorthodox, but he said his phone was running out of battery. Okay. So he was like, if you can phone, we'll get that all done.

All right. So this is a message to give to... Benjamin Boyce. Benjamin Boyce. Just a couple of facts I want to, because we're doing a bit of an expose in the Tatler, and we just wanted to fact check a couple of facts I want to, because we're doing a bit of an expose in the Tatler. And we just wanted to fact check a couple of things. Right.

And wanted to know if there's any truth to the rumour that he tried to legally change his name to Jacinda Ardern. To trick voters into voting him in. That's a dirty play, isn't it? Yeah, yes. To try to change his name To Jacinda Ardern So that when you went in to vote You thought if you were voting for Jacinda you would take it

But it was actually for him Him? Oh really? Okay The other fact that we just wanted to run past was During the COVID weeks While campaigning we understand you can't shake hands and things like that. So instead of shaking hands and kissing babies, he was elbowing babies. So just want to get clarification

that if he was elbowing babies or not out on the campaign trail. Okay. We've got this guy on camera shaving a dog. You want all these things asked? No, I'm just rattling them off to you. We know that. We've got it on camera, him shaving a dog.

Oh, really? Drinking. It might be his own dog, maybe. Drinking out of a toilet. Oh, no. This is not good. He wants to subsidise Guarana energy drinks for preschoolers.

Oh, that's very good. Full of sugar. Yeah. Yeah, so if you could just pass those messages on to him. Okay. All right. I'm sure that's probably why he's not wanting to go to his phone at the moment. Yeah, he's trying to avoid the Tatler.

We will expose all here at the Tatler. All right. Hey, thank you. Listen, you're an absolute trooper. Thank you so much for your time. Okay. Bye-bye. Thanks.

So that's Margaret. She took down the message for our local MP Benjamin Boyce and we'll bring him back in from the soundproof booth. Come on in. Look at you. What dark thoughts did you think about in there? Oh jeez, it's not a great place to be. Worrying about what

sort of message you've left for me somewhere around New Zealand. We call it the soundproof booth. He just sits on the couch outside the office. We've really built it up as like some sort of dark dungeon where you'd keep a terrorist. I'm looking at myself looking at you guys. Can't hear you. You guys are all laughing away.

Well, today, congratulations. You're a local MP. Oh, am I? For Taupo. Oh, great. Given we're going there tomorrow, we'll keep it local, Ben. And your name's Benjamin Boyce. And Margaret.

Margaret's got a message for you from the local reporter. Oh, okay. Oh, you see. Yeah. Don Campbell. Okay. Okay. Don Campbell's passing on a message to me. Okay. the local reporter. Oh, okay. Oh, you see. Okay. Don Campbell. Okay. So Don Campbell's passing on a message to me. Okay.

Here we go. Make a call. Good morning. This is Margaret. Oh, hi, Margaret. My name is Benjamin Boyce. I'm a local MP. Yes.

And apparently someone by the name of Don Campbell has left a message for me with you. It's all a bit odd. I'm ringing you. But anyway. You want to know what the message is? Yeah. I'd love to know what the message is. Apparently I've just got to call this number.

Okay. So he wants to know if there's any truth in that you tried to change your name to Jacinda Ardern. Okay. Yep, yep. That during COVID, we weren't allowed to shake hands or do anything. So did you elbow babies? Elbow babies? Yeah.

Oh, instead of kissing the babies, I see. Okay, right. No, okay. That's what politicians do, yeah. Okay. Okay, he wants the fact checked about that one. Okay. And I believe you've been prepared to subsidise energy drinks for preschoolers.

Yeah, that's one of my policies I was thinking of doing, yeah. Yeah, okay. That one's a bit controversial with a lot of people. What's your thoughts on that one? No. No? No, not into that one? No, I don't think it's a good thing.

Not a good thing? Okay, I like to check with everyone just before I make these policies. All right. Anything else? Yes, you're caught on camera drinking out of a toilet. And shaving your dog. Filming me in the toilet, okay.

And shaving a dog. That dog was wanting to be shaved. It was quite hot. But anyway, we'll talk about that one. I sympathise with you there because I know what that's about. Margaret, it's Jono and Ben calling from the Hits radio station. If you haven't guessed already. Jono, I'm not actually a politician.

Jono just leaves a random message for me with a random receptionist somewhere and you pass on that message. Okay. I have. I'm not actually a politician. Jono just leaves a random message for me with a random receptionist somewhere, and you pass on that message. Okay. I have. You have. Margaret's like, do I get those eight minutes of my life back? Oh, is it?

Hey, Margaret, we'd love to send you out something for being such a good sport. Is that right? Okay. You're an absolute hero, Margaret. Thank you. Eggs for breakfast. It's Jono and Ben on the Hits. This is very exciting.

You would have heard this just before the Hits present 660 Saturdays, their biggest outdoor tour so far. They're going to be travelling to a few locations all over New Zealand. Check out the details at thehits.co.nz with 100% all Kiwi support line-up. Dave Dobbin, Drax Project, Shapeshifter, Broods, Lady 6, some of the people that are performing. Each location has a different artist from New Zealand with them. It's huge. It's going to be a massive tour from 660.

Machu Cruz, 660. Nice to have you guys here. Nice to be here. Oh, this is very exciting. It's been a tough year for every industry, particularly the music industry, but it must be exciting, you guys, going out on tour. Yeah, man. You're right. It's been pretty weird, but we must be exciting you guys going out on tour yeah man you're right it's been pretty weird but we're excited that we can get back on the road and you know do what we love yeah good to go see new zealand yeah that's awesome and you've got some great mates along with you with the ride yeah yeah and the lineup's really good like super excited

like i'm excited to get there early and watch you know sometimes you just kind of turn up for your show but oh my god i'm excited too much yeah turn up for your show. But I'm excited to actually go here. Industry secrets. But I'm excited to come see some of these guys. As young up-and-coming fans interested for opening for 660, they would love to have you on there. We'll be there watching. Dave Dobbin, though.

He's playing one of your gigs up-and-coming, people. Are you going to bother to go see Dobbo? Oh, man, you know my love for Dobbo runs pretty deep, eh? I'll be there at every single soundcheck, every single show. I think he's got a restraining order against me, though, so we'll see how that comes into play. Now, of course, you're about to go on tour, go on stage before much.

I want to ask you a question because I've known Chris for a while. He's very fashion forward. Like, he's always coming with different hairstyles, you know. All sorts of fashion. Today, you've got glasses, you've got a headband. Yeah, I've got my active wear on. Do you ever have a moment when you go on stage, you're like, oh, jeez, all sorts of fashion. Today, you've got glasses, you've got a headband, you've got necklaces. Do you ever have a moment when you go on stage

and you're like, oh jeez, he's going to wear that? Oh, he's worn. Most of the time, he'll like get ready and he's in the mirror

getting ready and I'm like, I don't know about that. Most of the time. And then it actually looks really good on him. Yeah, you can pull it on.

You guys are so popular, obviously. So when you forget your words, you can just good on the camera. You guys are so popular, obviously. So when you forget your words, you can just rely on the crowd to sing your words. Yeah, that saved me a couple of times in the past. Yeah. But it's happened to me with like brand new songs too. And then you're like, there's really no saving you. Yeah, I've managed to save sometimes.

Otherwise I just go, you know what? Stop the song. Let's start this again. Oh, you'll just start again. Yeah, I mean, if it's that bad I just go, you know what? Stop the song. Let's start this again. Oh, you'll just start again? Yeah, I mean, if it's that bad. Next time, I can hold up cue cards. You're about to go on tour again. Tour stories.

I know there was one time Chris locked himself out of his room naked. That happened at a hotel. I mean, is that probably the worst thing that's happened? My question is, why do you have to be naked? Why can't you be trapped out of your room clothed? Yeah. Well, you know, you're in a hotel room. There's no one else around. Just, you're naked. Yeah, but why do you have to be naked? Like, why can't you be trapped out of your room closed? Yeah. Well, you know, you're in a hotel room. There's no one else around.

Just, you're naked. Yeah, but why are you outside naked? Well, I wasn't on purpose, Jono. It wasn't. You're asking me like it was a planned thing. I wasn't like, you know what I'll try tonight? Walking out of the room naked without a key. That sounds like a fun way.

See how that works out. Got 660 with us. They're going to be hitting the road. The 660 Saturdays, the biggest outdoor tour so far. You'll be stoked to see people on mass again.

Yeah, man. And I think people are going to be stoked to be able to go out and be together and, you know, we're putting on something really special.

We're always going to challenge ourselves to beat ourselves last year, you know. So that's really the goal of this show. We've got new music coming out.

Oh, that's exciting. Yeah, really exciting man and a movie as well there's a lot going on in our world at the moment we wouldn't have it any other way so the movie's about the sold out show at Western Springs initially that's how it was kind of

pitched but it really grew from that there's a lot of footage from that first show but as we were going through the process it kind of turned into this story of New Zealand and being a young band and being Māori and how it is navigating this industry and all the mistakes and little maybe good things we did to get us in this position.

So we're really proud of that. So it's out in November till the lights go out, right? That's very cool. What I've admired about you guys is you always seem to be striving for the next best thing whereas Ben and me we've just sat

with media yeah that's a good point we got called sellouts but that's because we sold out to like Burger King and Heineken

and all the brands but you guys are selling out Western's actual sellouts 50,000 people I mean with progress and with strive you're going to be running

into people don't like you doing new stuff and people don't like you doing well. I mean, just ask Israel Adesanya, you see all the, you know, he's the perfect example for that. And, you know, unfortunately,

we're in a country that tall poppy syndrome is really, really alive. It's a real thing. Yeah, which is sad. It's real true and really drilled into us at a young age. But, you know, we're in the business of changing all that.

That's cool. Where's the end goal? Because you guys keep doing more and more stuff and I'm like, slow down, slow down. When are you going to be happy? I don't know. I mean, we are happy. We're happy because we are doing this

and we're striving and we're taking risks and I think that's really where we find the joy in putting your buddy balls on the line. You can say that? You can say that at breakfast? I don't know where that hits now, are we? Yeah, yeah, it really hits. Yeah, yeah. I know it that? You can say that at breakfast? I don't know where that hits now, are we? Yeah, yeah, you're on the hits. Yeah, yeah.

I know it's hard for you guys to keep up where you guys are. We keep moving around, guys. What is it, five nationwide shows in three years? Good job, guys. What are you guys like? Lack in talent, you make four in diversity. You're not the only ones doing five shows, guys. We're just on three different stations.

Now, before we go, we wanted to name all the venues that you go into but we thought we'd do it in a different way. Chris, we know you like hot food and we're not going to make you do it but there's a

place that you go to that they have mild, medium, hot and then Chris Hot. One of Jono and I has to eat some of this and say all your gigs.

I've never tried Chris Hot. You've never tried Chris Hot? Did they know it was for me? Well, yeah, I tried to. Because they know me.

Who would you like to eat that? It's me or Jono? Well, I really dislike Jono, so let's go with Jono. Okay, Jono, you go. You're going to have Chris Hot. Although I've seen you, Ben, eating hot food, and it is quite pleasurable to see you. No, both of you, just eat it.

Oh, you thought that was going to be the case. Yeah, of course, you both eat it. Yeah, I'll take some of it. Okay. I'm taking it. I can't feel the bed. Yeah, of course. You both eat it. Yeah, I'll take some of it. Okay. I'm taking it. I feel the burn. Oh, jeez. I'll use that fork.

You can catch 660. Oh, I'm starting to cry already. They're back. Why tonguey? 16th of January. Oh, it goes down into your throat. Oh, my God, that is hot. How do you eat this?

How do you enjoy this? Oh, they've never given me hotter before. Okay, you got the next venue? Yeah, Saturday, 23rd of January Hastings Tomoana Showgrounds Okay we got Saturday

This is so hot This is ridiculous I'm putting this on I'm crying New Plymouth Saturday 30th Then they go on to Christchurch

Christchurch Hagley Park 6th of February That's Waitangi Day Oh my god I only had one spoonful 13th of February The week later In Wellington At Sky Stadium.

I'm sweating. And then January, no February. Are you really sweating? 27th. I don't know why I did that. What is wrong with you? Why do you order that? It's delicious.

660, we're so proud of you guys and everything you do. Can't wait to see you guys back on tour in the movie as well. Thanks for hanging out. Thanks guys. I'll see you. Want more Jono to see you guys back on tour in the movie as well. Thanks for hanging out. Thanks, guys. Nice to see you. Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime. Just search Jono and Ben on Facebook.

For Jono and Ben's 10K tee-off. It's happening tomorrow, 8 o'clock. We start hitting golf balls. So 1,000 golf balls, Jono and I. We're going to Lake Taupo. There's the Hole-in-one attraction on the lake. It's about 100 metres out from the lake, and we're trying to hit a hole-in-one there

because there's 10 grand prize money. If we get the 10 grand, we're going to give it to you. That's right, Lake Taupo, we are coming for you in a non-threatening way. No, I'm quite excited about you heading away. I haven't really thought too much about two days of hitting golf balls. No, I think the fatigue factor we have not taken into account at all. It's non-stop because we're allocating these golf balls. No, I think the fatigue factor we have not taken into account at all. It's non-stop because we're allocating these golf balls.

You have to do at least a ball a minute, sometimes a couple of balls a minute. Yeah, so this is how it's all come together over the last couple of weeks. Have we got a delectable audio montage to bring everyone up to speed? No, have a listen. Nato, welcome from Wellington.

Hole-in-one legend, we understand. Anyone can hit an amazing shot and get it in. That vague pep talk will pull me through, Nato. Sir Graham Henry, any advice from a great coach like you? Get your breathing right. Get your breathing right. Have you actually hit a golf ball before? Maybe there's more important things than breathing.

Maybe we could talk to a clairvoyant and just see if there's anything out there. I don't see either of you doing that. Hang up on her. Hang up on her. New Zealand's top golfer is Ryan Fox. Do you think it's possible that one of us could fluke a hole-in-one? It's highly unlikely. You're right. We can't go in there with false hopes.

Hayley, you're on the air. I play soccer and I believe in you. You guys are going to get this. What would the professional golfer know? Let's listen to the amateur football player. Exactly. Here we are, Lake Taupo, where we're going to be next week. We're going to get it in.

No. Nailed it, nailed it. Oh, no. Jono and Ben coming to attempt the hole-in-one is the talk of the town. Is it? We met with professional golfer Phil Tautarangi. With one shot, here was Jono's attempt. Now, what do you think his chances are, Phil?

Zero to none. Zero to none. Is there something less than zero? I didn't do much better. Here we go. It's gone off and it's hit an elderly gentleman in the head. There's a hole over there somewhere. So that's what's happened so far.

We're heading, as we said, to Taupo tomorrow. Hitting 1,000 golf balls. Hopefully winning someone $10,000. Producer B Humps. Yeah, he's been trying to get some media. B Humps. B Humps. Lovely producer Humps.

And he's like, you know, the media are a lot more interested in covering us if one of us get a hole in one. Yeah. They don't want to come along for the journey. You know, like, yeah, like, of us get a hole in one. Yeah. They don't want to come along for the journey. Yeah, like if you get a hole in one. Hillary Barry was like come talk to me when you get a hole in one. She literally said that. Words out of Hillary Barry's mouth.

There wasn't enough pressure about the fact that we got 10 grand on the line for someone to win. Also, there's the media coverage as well. John Campbell's like, you two schmucks. These are the words out of his mouth. His own words. You two schmucks. I don't want to hear from you unless you land it. You'll have to hold a while and we'll talk to you. But if you don't, we don't care.

Oh, see, it's like the, I feel like a lesser graded New Zealand sport, you know, like New Zealand lacrosse team. Oh, you want to talk to us when we win the Universal Championships. Okay. Where's been the lacrosse support all the way along? That's how it works. Just like a chocolate milkshake, only white and disappointing.

It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Scrolling through your feed. Now, this is the only news program that Judith and Jacinda refuse to appear on, mainly because it's 16 in the morning. Yeah, scrolling through your feed. And I've got a croaky voice. This is where we look at some of the news that's happened over the last 24 hours and making big news are the politicians on the campaign trail and Judith Collins, of course, some of the news that's happened over the last 24 hours and making big news.

The politicians on the campaign trail. And Judith Collins, of course, leader of the National Party. Yesterday, she was doing a bit of walkabout. Getting filmed. Everything's getting filmed. Photo opportunities. She's walking around Auckland. When do they not film her?

It feels like the news journalists and camera operators are with her. Constantly, right? Everywhere she goes. She's like, hey, guys, I'm just washing my hands here. It's like the worst reality TV show ever. No drama, no tension, no romantic storyline. A little bit of drama yesterday though, because Judith Collins tried to go into an optometrist and they were like, oh no, we're not supporters of nationals.

They weren't like that. They were like, you're not welcome in here and did a thumbs down emoji but live in real life. You know when people say you should have gone to Specsavers? Well, she did try to go to Specsavers. She wasn't allowed to Specsavers.

So now there's a little tagline to that slogan. But I mean, that's not surprising. No. And I think there was rumours that she had planted National supporters along the stretch of road

So that when she would walk along people would come up to her and go Hey I love your policy on immigration You're like oh thank you Oh thank you And they'd have a natural conversation Oh fair enough I can kind of see it And there's probably like things out there going Oh we'll be walking down the street at this time

And if you are a supporter you'd probably go down Hey showbiz baby Do you know what we used to do to get people to come to our TV show Producer Juliet? Yes. We'd say there was free booze. Oh, you're one of those guys.

I'm one of those guys? I mean, those people, I don't know. You only hang out because we want free alcohol and they would just get plastered in the audience

and then we got them so plastered that we hoped they forgot where they were the night before. Yeah, I took that on telly the next day and they went, oh, it's a. Yeah, talk to God on telly the next day.

Oh, God. And also making news in the last 24 hours, CNN reporter Joe Johns, he's gone viral after he was doing a report to camera on the White House lawn, and a raccoon kept bugging him, quite a scary raccoon. Get! There he is. Rah! Now, no events on the president's schedule today.

And important to say, the White House, especially from the damn fricking raccoons, man. God, again. This is the second time. It always comes around right about when I'm going to go on TV. Rah! That was him making the rah noise, not the raccoon. Sounds like... Just so you know. Rah!

I said it was a scary raccoon, but it was him making rah to try and scare it away. Is that the noise you make when you want to just, you know? I don't know. I don't know. I've seen raccoons only once in Canada, and they were in a rubbish bin going through the trash at my wife's auntie's place, and it was like, ooh. They're kind of like startled as they're knocking over trash cans and stuff. That is literally the most boring story

I think I've ever heard in my life. Oh, well, they were like... It relates to the record. I'd rather be doing a show than a record. Do you know that guy? No, I don't care. Don't take it. I don't care.

It's going to be a good story if it is. I know. That guy sounds like the coach from Cool Running. that guy don't don't don't yeah it's gonna be a good story if it is I know that guy sounds like the coach from Cool Runnings

play it again this guy now no events on the president's schedule today what's that actor's name and he used to be

in Roseanne oh I think I know you I don't know if he was the coach on Cool Run. Oh, I think I know you. I don't know if he was the coach on Cool Runnings though, but I think I know who you mean. Oh. John, yeah, we'll vaguely work that out. Someone text his name.

John Candy was in Cool Runnings, but it wasn't John Candy. R.I.P. John Candy? Yeah, yeah. No, the other guy. I know who you mean. Yeah, yeah. He's in the Flintstones. Dad and Roseanne, yeah.

Oh, now we're here now. This is a boring story. Yeah. Now we're here now. This is a boring story. Yeah. Now I'm getting egg on my face after. John Goodman. John Goodman. There we go. That was fun.

I'm glad we got there. Hey, you've got toothpaste on the side of your mouth. It's Jono and Ben on my heads. It's been a lot of fun the last couple of days preparing for Lake Taupo tomorrow. If you want a ball, 4487 on the text. Now, I just read, I think this came out last week, the Labour Party are wanting to get rid of the tiny little stickers on apples.

Oh, yeah, they are. That's one of their big plays. Yeah, yeah. What am I going to accidentally swallow and start to panic about if those stickers aren't on the apple? I've eaten a lot of those, actually. They're quite fun to eat. Do they count as your five plus? Yeah. Like a sticker. I've eaten a lot of those, actually. They're quite fun to eat. Do they count as your five plus?

Yeah. Like a sticker? I've eaten a lot of those. You get one and a half out of an apple and a sticker. But wouldn't you go, because they've got barcodes on them. So how's the apple industry going to track their apples? Right.

They do a thing at schools too, you collect the stickers. I don't know if your kids do that as well, but you bring in your stickers and they get the stickers. And I don't know what you get for those. I don't either. We kids do that as well, but you bring in your stickers and they get a picture. And I don't know what you get for those. I don't either. We've collected so many Apple stickers and I've seen nothing. Yeah.

I've seen nothing from the Apple industry about that. It seems like a very small amount of plastic as opposed to like straws and plastic bags and stuff. What am I going to secretly stick on Ben's back without his knowledge in the office? When you peel off. But then a little bit unnecessary. Like if you're eating an apple, you really don't need

a sticker on it because you just have to peel it off. I know, but then you've got to spare a thought too for the mini sticker manufacturer who just, the business just got into manufacturing mini apple stickers. You've got nothing

else now. Labour's going to destroy their whole industry. It's a big thing for schools, though, isn't it, about not bringing in plastics, although they're fine with Apple stickers. And then I went on a rant yesterday about paper straws. Big campaigner. I hate paper straws.

They make my lips feel funny. Right, yeah. Because their paper gets all soggy. Yeah. And someone texts through fully backing the claims. Oh, really? She's like, we need to have a referendum. Bring back the plastic straw.

No. Is it that bad? Yes, apparently it's bad. Apparently it's bad. Who told you it was bad? I don't know, but the kids are hot on all those things at the moment. My kids come home from school. I think I mentioned this before.

I put like a plastic yogurt, you know, one of those little sucky yogurt things you take out. And they were like, Dad. Oh, Dad. They came home, you can't. They got expelled from school for that. I think the school would rather have found weed or something in their bags or something. They're like, oh, Dad, you can't.

You can't. I can't breathe this. This guy. You're like. Thank you very much for that morning tea joint you rolled me. That was delicious. Yeah. I was like, oh, I'm so sorry.

I was just trying to give you yogurt. Oh, Dad, you can't. I was just trying to give you yogurt. Oh, Dad, you can't. I was just trying to give you yogurt. I was trying to, no, Dad, you can't bring that to school. We've scared the kids into thinking the world is going to end. And that's good. It's always good to have children on edge. Petrified children.

That's what we should be creating. New Zealand's breakfast. Just don't eat them. They're chewy. It's John Owen Battle the Heads. Now. They're chewy. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Now we're heading to Lake Taupo tomorrow. We're going to try and be hitting 1,000 golf balls to try and win someone $10,000 if we get the hole in one.

And you ordered a golf cart, Jono. I did recklessly order the golf cart and it turned up out of nowhere during the week. And we've been using it with Millennial Max out and about doing, you know, your stock standard breakfast radio thing, some street shenanigans. And we sent him to McDonald's yesterday

to try and order our 39 milkshakes. Could I please get 39 milkshakes? Chocolate milkshakes? Sorry, how many? Hoping for 39. Are we going to be able to pay for this? This is my fear now. Do we want to go here with us?

Can we get a hello from the lady at McDonald's? Hi there, would you just be able to say hello really quickly? Hi there. Oh, there you go. I love Millennial Max. On other radio shows, there's the brash, confident person out and about. They're going in there. They're getting behind.

They're getting into areas they shouldn't. I love his tentativeness. He's like, oh, can we not? I love that. I love that about him. If this was the 90s, he would have two skyrockets up his nose, and he would have done that naked. And probably married the McDonald's lady at the end of it. That's what they would

have done in rodeo back then, you're right. That's the good old days. Now we're worried about, can we afford the milkshakes? Times have changed. Are we actually going through with this? The other day as well, we sent him down the park to give away some golf balls to Aucklanders who love being harassed first thing in the morning.

Can you find someone for us to talk to, Max? Hey there, I'm just on the radio with John and Ben, just wondering if you might be able to say hi to them. Oh, he's got to get to work, guys. He's got to get to work. So, so far, not so good with Max out and about in the cart. He's humiliated out there.

He doesn't like sticking out. And today, a free ride service. It's like Uber, but in a golf cart. We're going to call it Goober. And if you want to lift just across the park. Yeah, because we found out that that's all we legally can take people across. We obviously can't go on the roads with a golf cart, so we can go across a park.

One end of the park to the other. If you want to travel across a park at a pace slightly quicker than you would probably walk it. Maybe not. Yeah. Oh, no, I think you will. You're right. And at the end, instead of a star rating,

you give him a par rating because it's a golf cart. So we will be sending him out, telling him where he is after 7 o'clock this morning. And Max will be pulling that off with more confidence. And don't forget, until when we are in Taupo, Friday night you can come see us at the 19th hole after we've been hitting golf balls all day. We're going to be at Finn's Gastro Pub in Bear Garden.

We'll be there for 6.30. So come join us for a drink, buy a date, your chance to win some prizes as well. All the info at the hitstockcode on NZ. Gastro pub's always a funny term for me. What is gastro? Like gastro to me brings up not pretty connotations. No, but it's a thing, right? Gastro pub's all about.

Yeah, I know. I don't know what it means though. Yeah, I'm sure they were around before. They were like, ah. Oh, before the gastro stomach bug. Yeah. We really stitched ourselves up. The Finns Gastro Pub and Beer Garden

will be there Friday night. Morning. It's Jono and Ben on the Heads. Producer Juliet, this is something I thought you'd like. Ooh. bug. We really stitched ourselves up. The Finns Gastropub and Beer Garden will be there Friday night. Morning! It's Jono and Ben on the Heads. Producer Juliette, this is something I thought you'd like. Now, avocado on toast. We often talk about her love for avocado on toast, don't we? Every day you have avocado on toast. Yes. What's the white stuff you put on top of it? It's feta.

Oh, wow. Yeah. Millennial, eh? Winning combination. It's like eating a millennial. Well, the other new thing is cauliflower cheese on toast. Oh. So they're saying, oh, okay. I thought it would be a better reaction than that. So right now, I was reading about it.

I haven't tried it myself, but that's the new thing. It's a move over avocado on toast. It's the hottest new food craze. Cauliflower cheese, and you put it on toast. Actually, no. Now that you say that, I think I've been to a restaurant kind of up the road that does the best cauliflower sort of cheese dish. And I never really tried it before.

And I went there and I was like, oh my God, this is a game changer. OMG, this is next level. Oh my God. That could actually be quite a good, like if you're feeling a little bit dusty, have a little hangover food. Are you a photographer of meals?

No, but my flatmate is. She's got an Instagram called briarmakingkai. I don't know why I just plugged that. So every meal she makes, she takes a photo of? Yeah, yeah. She's really into it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And she bakes.

It's wonderful living with her because she's just always baking and making yum food. It's brilliant. What is the worst thing you've taken a photo of? Food? Yeah. Just in life. In life. In life.

Let's get dark. I actually took a few photos of you the other day for work stuff. Don't put that on your Instagram account. No, I will not. The only times I've ever

gone to take a photo of food, to do it, my wife leaned over the fork and messed it up. Oh, that's a wonderful prank from her. It's a good prank. That is really good. The one time I was like, oh it up. Oh, that's a wonderful prank from her. It's a good prank.

That is really good. The one time I was like, oh, I'll get a thing of that. And it was like, nah. I tell you who takes wonderful photos of food, the mad butcher, Sir Peter Leach. Oh, he does? He takes a photo of his breakfast every morning. I love seeing what he's eating for breakfast.

It's so good. He's got like sausages and hash browns and eggs. He has the best breakfast. And steak. I don't know how many animals perish every morning for Sir Peter Leach's breakfast but there's many.

And it's always very consistent isn't it? It's always like three meats eggs potatoes They look good though.

It's worth a follow. It's like a breakfast you wish you could have every morning. Well he does. He does. Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up

with the boys anytime. Just search Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime. Just search Jono and Ben on Instagram. Spy, launch into mess-free Mexican with the new Old El Paso tortilla pocket. She's the absolutely perfect person to be doing this. She's so nosy, we've had to put budget aside in our show budget to get a nose reduction for producer Juliet with spy update scandal gossip. That was a good introduction.

Thanks, Jono. So back in 2016, there was a big dinner party that Ed Sheeran attended, James Blunt attended, and I think it was a few members of the royal family. It was at a royal house. And as this night went on,

they started talking about honours and James Blunt then said, oh, I'd love to be knighted, da-da-da-da-da, kind of as a joke. And because they were at a royal palace or hall or something, Princess Beatrice, who's a member of the royal family, was like, oh, I'll knight you, I'll go grab some bougie-ass

sword that she's got, and goes to knight him. But as she swings the sword back, she nicks Ed Sheeran in the cheek. And he had to go to hospital and get stitches for that. That's right, yeah. And so now Ed Sheeran's manager

has talked about the incident publicly and said that he's people are like, oh, just, you know, lie, say it wasn't a royal that did it. And he's like, no, I'm not going to lie and say it was a royal that did it. She's a beeping idiot for doing it. And so he's now publicly shamed Princess Beatrice for cutting Ed Sheeran.

You can't lie in the ACC forms, you know. You've got to have the accident. Especially if there's an investigation and you're like, oh, it's Princess Beatrice again. I know. But imagine being at that dinner party. It'd just be a bit of a shambles, wouldn't it? You'd be like, oh my gosh, you've ruined Ed Sheeran's face.

And I imagine post-dinner too, there was a few red wines, so she probably shouldn't have been in charge of a sort of... You know, it's good to have a good scar story though, isn't it? Because I had a mole removal here on the top of my shoulder here. And then when Jen, my wife,

first started dating, she's like, what's that? And I was trying to be all mysterious. I was like, don't ask me about it. As if it could be a gunshot or it could have been a stab wound.

And then two months later, I had to say oh she's like what is it is it did you get shot and I was like I know she's not that she's not gullible did she get shot I'm like I'm reading about that on the news if that was the case no but I left it in the air of mystery she Oh, no, she would have gone, okay. She'd be like, what sort of bad boy am I dating? Some surgical thing that needs to be done. And then I'd tell her, oh, no, it was just a mole removal.

Anything to oppress a woman, eh, Johnna? A cancerous mole removal. A very moley individual. I've got more scars now. That could be gunshots. Oh, gosh. And back in July, there was the big news that came out with Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith that she was in a relationship with another man.

Remember that entanglement that all happened? Yeah, that was sort of like a third guy in their marriage and Will was cool with it. Yeah, yeah. So they sat down on Jada's Facebook series called Read Table Talk and talked about it. And Will Smith in that sort of chat, he looked like he had been crying and everyone was like, is he crying?

What's going on? But he said, no, he wasn't crying. He just drinks way too much coffee, which makes him dehydrated so his eyes water. And I'm like, mate, that's it. Long play. Long play from Smith. I know. I'm like, mate, get a better excuse. Tell you what also makes you cry, finding out your wife's been sleeping with another man. Yes. And being shot. That made me cry. Yeah, you're right. I kind of felt sorry for, I mean, obviously a big Will Smith fan, but it was obviously a very full on time. You're right. I kind of felt sorry for him. I mean, obviously, I'm a big Wilkes-Barre fan, but it was obviously a very full-on time.

They're talking about these things. They had that shot of him crying, and then people were using it for memes, like to take the foot out of me, like that picture of him crying, going, oh, there's such and such basketball team lots. There's their fans. It's like he's crying about some serious stuff there.

I know. But it's a funny meme, no better, and that's the main thing. And that's fine thanks to Old El Paso you can launch into some mess free Mexican with their new

tortilla pockets. More painful than your alarm clock. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Very exciting week because tomorrow we're heading down

to do this. For Jono and Ben's 10k tee off. It's always been something that I've wanted to get in my lifetime and we're giving it a good shot. It's the hole in that I've wanted to get in my lifetime and we're giving it a good shot.

It's the hole-in-one in Taupo. Can I just say, you need better goals in life, Ben. But this is a good one to try. Yeah, every time I drive past in Taupo, I'm like, I really want to get a hole-in-one in there. I'm not a golfer and I probably won't get a hole-in-one, but I would love to get a hole-in-one on the lake, on the attraction.

Why don't you try and become a successful property developer? I could do that. Why don't you try and become a successful property developer or something? Why don't you try and strive to get a better co-host, a better class of co-hosts? There's better goals you need to set for yourself. But I want to get a hole in one

and John and I are going to hit 1,000 balls. We're allocating each ball to a listener and if we get your ball in we'll give you 10 grand the prize money but if not,

if we don't get any balls in we're still going to give away 10 grand on Monday. Yeah, and to celebrate we we got a golf cart. And Millennial Max has been out and about in the streets, on the streets of Aotearoa this week in the golf cart. Max, come on down. Good morning. Max, a rich history of being humiliated in public and not following through with things.

So far, we wanted you to go on day one to hand out some of our golf balls. You couldn't find anyone. The one person you did find was too busy to talk to you or they were on the way to work. Yesterday, you went to McDonald's through the drive-thru to get 39 milkshakes. You backed out of that, worried about the show's budget that we couldn't afford them.

What are we doing today, Maxie? I'm down at the same park where there was no one the other day. Oh, so we'll go back again. And I'm going to do a kart pool karaoke. So you're going to golf kart. Now, given the road rules of New Zealand, we can't go on the road or the

footpath, so you're going to transport people from one side of the park to the other 500 metres or so with an Uber style service called Goober. Golf kart Uber. Right, Golf Cart Uber. Right, yes, correct. Who have we got? No one.

Okay, great. There's absolutely no one in the park right now. Yeah, well, there was no one there the other day, but you've gone back to the same park. I've gone into the same spot as well. I don't really laugh. Just in the meantime, before I find someone, Easy Go is the number one electric golf cart in the world and has been supplying New Zealand for over 35 years in clean and green electric vehicles, providing hours of

fun, moving people and product all over New Zealand. Millennial Max, thank you very much. We'll catch up with you after 8 o'clock. Is that it? You've got to find someone. Hang on, hang on. Hi there. Hi. I'm just on air with John on bed, just wondering if I might be able to give you

a ride to the other end of the park? Yeah, sure. Why not? I've got some of the guys. Who have we got there, Max? This is, sorry, Kate. Oh, Kate. So Kate, you've explained that you can't give her a ride all the way to work, just across to the other end of the park. So I can only give

you a ride just to the other end of the park because we can't go past stuff like that. Is that alright? I suppose it's better than nothing. Can you hand Kate over to us? Sure can. How's your day going, Kate? Oh, well, you know, I'm just on my walk into work so... Now, Kate,

you sound suspiciously like Harriet who works in our office. No. Has Max teed you up Because he doesn't want to talk To real members of the public No

Is this Harriet No Hey listen Put us back onto Max Are you there Max Yes That's just Harriet

From the office Hey No no no This whole point of the thing Is not to get someone from our office arriving. Oh, right across the park. We will cross back to Max and he will find someone who needs a trip maybe 200 or 300 metres across the park very shortly. Thank you very much.

Thanks, guys. Not a morning person? Sadly, neither of these two. It's Jono and Ben on the heads What's going on now Ben? Well there's There's a few things Over the years

You probably know Strange things that people Strange things that irk me A little bit When people say stuff You often will talk about people As In plural form

As two people And I love doing it Because I know it just winds them up When you talk about Like the commentators go Talk about the All Blacks No The Bowdoin Barrett's of this world

The Aaron Smith's And you're like Well no there's only one The Bowdoin Barretts of this world, the Aaron Smiths, and you're like, well no, there's only one. It's not just the Bowdoin Barrett of this world. There's only one. In this context there's probably other people with the same name, but you're talking about a rugby player who's playing for the All Blacks. It's not Bowdoin Barretts, it's just Bowdoin Barrett. And he also doesn't like when it's like the ASB

Bank, because he's like, it's ASB Bank Bank then, because the B stands for bank. Orca Savings Bank Bank. Some may say he needs bigger issues in his life but I won't say that. But I've noticed that Oaks was hanging out with my dad for a couple of days last week and he loves the story but he loves to

start a story sort of booking it where you start it with a oh this is a funny story. Oh which really puts a lot of pressure on the story. Some people do that a lot my nanny used to go oh you'll die laughing and then tell the story. Oh, which really puts a lot of pressure on the story. Some people do that a lot. My nanny used to go, oh, you'll die laughing, and then tell the story.

You're like, well. You can't. No, you build it up. Yeah. You build it up. Was it a funny story you told you? Yeah, it was mildly. Tell me the story. It was mildly.

Well, I guess it probably wasn't because I can't even remember it now. I just remember at the time going, oh, this is a funny story, and getting quite wound up in my head about the fact that, yeah. But most of the time we got on the radio, we're like, oh, this is a funny story, and getting quite wound up in my head about the fact that, yeah. But most of the time we got on the radio, we're like, oh, this is a funny story. Well, there never are. So then eventually people would pretty quickly click on to. Oh, I know.

It wasn't actually quite a music. It was to do with the bricks. I told you about that yesterday. Oh, yeah, it's a funny story. Yeah. So people delivered 6,000 bricks, but it turned out to be they were the wrong house. So they unloaded 6,000 bricks. But it was a funny story.

What do you reckon, Julia? Is it a funny story? Yeah, I mean, because you said it's a funny story, it doesn't actually end up being as funny, but if you didn't say it's a funny story, I would have been like, oh, that's quite funny. You probably preempted that. Yeah, my nana was like, you'll die laughing, and then you're like, well, do I want to hear the story now? That's the consequence of the story.

Ironically, your nana died after telling the story. That was the way she went. She went the way she wanted out, telling a story about dying laughing. Like starting your day without your morning coffee. It's Jono and Ben on my hits. Spy. Launch into mess-free Mexican with the new Old El Paso tortilla pocket. Tell you what, this lady has ruined more celebrities' lives

than an accidentally leaked saucy internet video. Producer Juliet with your spy update. Thank you very much. Now, Sarah Jessica Parker, she's obviously used to probably winning awards for her acting in Sex and the City and all that jazz. But she's won. I don't know how you just sum it up with all of that jazz.

No, she's just acting, yeah. Yeah, true. Good point. All I think I would hear of Sex and the City is, because I went to New York with my wife that jazz. Yeah, she's just acting. Yeah, true. Good point. All I think of when I hear of Sex and the City is, because I went to New York with my wife a few years ago, and there's this step that steps up to her apartment. There's an actual house they use as the front of it. It's not where they obviously film the inside bits,

but we traipsed around for about three hours trying to find this fricking step. I was just sitting on this step. Were those stairs worth it? Well, no. I was just like, sit on this step. We'll take a photo here. That's not the step. So I was like, ah. So we finally got fricking step. I was just sitting on this step. Were those stairs worth it? Well, no. I was just like, sit on this step. We'll take a photo here. That's not the step. So I was like, ah.

So we finally got to the step. I had no idea if it was that one or that one, but she sat in the step. We took a photo. Not worth it at all. And after that argument, ironically, Ben got no sex in the city. Not at all.

You can tell it was the house because other people were lining up to take photos. You're like, here we go. Sit on the step. Someone was angry. He had to take here we go, sit on a step. Someone was angry. He had to take a photo of his wife on a step. Oh, that was a three-hour walk around. You ought to find some steps.

Anyway, still obviously sitting bitter with it. Continue on with the story, Juju. So she has won an award instead of acting, but for her New Zealand wine, which I wasn't aware of. So she collaborated with a couple of Kiwi winemakers and created a wine, in Vino Cross. Oh, they also did the one with Graham Norton. Yeah, that's right, Graham Norton.

Did they? Oh, cool. I like this. Sorry. New Zealand Wine with celebrities. I love it. It's a really good marketing idea from those guys. Oh, for sure.

I think they're in the Waikato. Yeah, and so she won Best Launch of the Year at the 2020 Drinks Business Awards. I think it's held in Europe, so it's kind of a big deal. And so two Kiwi winemakers are now kind of a big deal, and I love it. Yeah, that so she won Best Launch of the Year at the 2020 Drinks Business Awards. I think it's held in Europe, so it's kind of a big deal. And so two Kiwi winemakers are now kind of a big deal, and I love it. Yeah, that's great. And the Drinks Awards. Yes.

Sounds like an absolute rort. Sounds like a lot of fun. I'd get along to that. And in other big news for New Zealand, 660 Saturdays is a thing. It is their new summer tour. They're going around in 2021 to Northland, Hawke's Bay, New Plymouth, Christchurch, Wellington and Hamilton. And we've got the 660 boys coming in as well, don't we?

It's very exciting. Every place they're going to, I'm just looking here, has some different Kiwi artists performing with them as well. So whether it's Drax Project, Dave Dobbin, Broods, Shapeshifter, Lady6, heaps of new artists all over the place with them. So it's awesome. Oh, good on them. Hope that little up-and-coming band, 660, finally catch a break.

I know they've been battling away for a while. No one's been turning up to their shows. So if you could help them out, buy a ticket. We've got a double pass, I think, to give away as well, which might be good for you. I'm sure they need the money. No, they need the money, these guys. Yeah, we're giving away a double pass. It's up to 8 well which won't be good for you. I'm sure they need the money. No, they need the money these guys. Yeah, we're giving away

a double pass to stuff to 8 o'clock on the show as well. And they're actually going to be, we thought we'd give them a bit of a leg up and give them some air time.

We'll play one of their songs as well. Yeah, we'll play one of their songs. You may not have heard it. You probably haven't heard it so we'll get them on just after 8 o'clock.

Yeah, and help some little up and coming Kiwi artists. If you could just grin and bear them for five minutes we just need to, we owe these guys a favour.

And that's right. Thanks to Old El Paso, they've got some new tortilla pockets that you can launch into some mess-free Mexican work. Start your day the wrong way. It's Jono and Ben on the Heads. Ben, do you like Baker's Delight?

I do like Baker's Delight. Oh, you don't go there enough, do you? What a delightful bakery it is. They've really done well with naming it. Do they pay for this? No, no, no. I don't know why I'm on a weird Baker's Delight rant. If not, we should get them on board as a this? No, no, no. I don't know why I'm on a weird Baker's Delight rant.

If not, we should get them on board as a client. No, yeah, they are delicious. You're right. If I could, I just love white bread. You're a real big white bread person, aren't you? If I could eat white, fresh bread for the rest of my life, I would probably die of diabetes, but happy yet. When you go to the supermarket, you buy white bread, don't you?

Yeah, I do. I don't disgust you. Oh, supermarket, you buy white bread, don't you? Yeah, I do. I don't know, disgust you. Oh, no, it doesn't disgust me. I mean, it's not like, no, but I just go, oh, okay, that's just a bread of choice. Are there any planes?

It says a lot about you, though. Yeah. White, plain, very boring, and thick. Yeah. That says a lot about you. A thick white loaf.

I mean, it's their own. People enjoy it. Yeah. That's me. Anyway, so I was at Baker's Delight yesterday getting a loaf of white bread.

And behind me, there was a child. And she would have been six or seven. And she's standing with her mother. She's like, that man's dangerous. And I was like, she wouldn't be talking about me. I don't look dangerous. Maybe a little homeless. Disheveled.

Intoxicated at times. Oh, yeah don't look dangerous. Maybe a little homeless. Dishevelled. Intoxicated at times. Oh yeah, you sound dangerous. But then she kept going, he's dangerous. And the mum was like, shh, it's okay, it's okay. Well kids don't really have a filter, do they? No, they're like belligerent, intoxicated people. They just say stuff. Say stuff and you're like, we'll talk about this And they keep saying the stuff.

And not get any, but then she kept going, no, no, he's dangerous. He's dangerous, mum. Maybe it was to alert the people at Baker's Delight. They're worried you're going to do like a stick-up robbery. The other night you just walked across the road being busted breaking the law on a 7-sharp, didn't you? Jaywalking. Well, maybe she saw me from 7-sharp.

A dangerous man, but it just kept going and going. The poor mum, I could tell she was just trying to talk over her. You know when she's just trying to talk over the child as it keeps trying to get its point across. So what bread do you want? And the kid's like, you're ignoring me. That man is dangerous. And I turn around to her and I said,

the most dangerous thing I do is sometimes I don't floss. And that's very dangerous for my oral health. Now stop bullying me, kid. Stop bullying me, little girl in the light of Baker's light. But all I want to get is a loaf of bread. You got your white bread, went out the car and started crying. I did. Now stop bullying me kid Stop bullying me little girl In the light of Baker's light When all I want to get Is a loaf of bread You got your white bread

Went out the car And started crying Right You're just eating bread Swapping your tears up With white bread Very absorbent aren't they There it is

Okay. Bearing in mind this is a positive segment, so I need to be positive. Yeah. The early bird catches the worm. But the late bird gets to sleep in and doesn't have to eat worms for breakfast. What do you reckon?

It's not bad. Not bad. You can just have normal toast or Weet-Bix. But what if you like worms? You can still go, the late bird, still sleep safe. You can wake up and have... And there's probably more worms out there. Mid-morning worms.
