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. Hello, welcome to the podcast. This is Thursday's edition.

Ben Boyce, lovely to see you here today. Nice to see you too. Former, what were you a former? Plug manufacturer, weren't you? You used to manufacture plugs in his 20s? It's for a wee period, a holiday period. I did that for a little bit. That was making electrical plugs.

Not even, you're just putting stuff within the electrical plugs. Oh, so you just played one part in the production line. Yeah, it was quite impressive to see how that worked. No, it's not. It's not. Do you try and make the plug industry sound jazzy and pizzazzy? We can't even make the production line. Yeah, it was quite impressive to see how that worked. No, it's not. It's not. It worked my eye out. You try and make the plug industry sound jazzy and pizzazzy. We can't even make the radio industry. I try and get plugs for the plug industry.

You don't want the plug. No, I don't. Every time we start talking about plugs, I'm like, here he is. He's off on his plug thing. It's like we're all going to be to our grandkids about COVID-19. They're going to be like, oh, they're off on their other pandemic rant. Yeah, no, you can just go out when you want. We were locked out for six weeks.

Couldn't go anywhere. Wore a mask on the buses. Had to drink. Didn't have any chars. Had to do any other char. Didn't have any other options. Had to drink before lunchtime. So that's like you with your plugs,

just so you know. Fun show today, though. It wasn't a bit. Yeah, we had Winston Peters, Deputy Prime Minister, in the studio. First time we've interviewed him, I think, ever face-to-face. Yeah we had Winston Peters, Deputy Prime Minister in the studio first time we've interviewed him I think ever face to face. Yeah he's

quite what would I say a dashing gentleman Winston isn't he? He is, he's very suave he's wearing a suit. Have you ever seen him not in a suit? No and I wouldn't want to I don't want to imagine Winston Peters without a suit our Deputy Prime Minister. I can imagine like if he went to the pools he's still in the suit like he doesn't

take it off. He's on the beach sunbathing in a suit. In a pinstripe suit. He's got a beard in a pinstripe suit. That sort of thing. He's at the gym doing bench presses in a suit. Yeah. You name it, he's in a sauna suit. Yeah.

Sauna. Cycling suit. He's always suited up, ready to go. As well as with Sir Peter's reception, reception is back. One of your favourite games, you leave a message for me at a random reception. You know how it works.

And then will the receptionist pass on that message we find out today? More painful than your alarm clock. It's Jono and Ben on the head. Something we like to do every Thursday on the show is Reception Reception. Jono, you leave an embarrassing message for me with a receptionist somewhere in New Zealand, and then I come back into the room and I hear that message maybe, if they tell me, for the first time. Yeah, we just drag innocent members of the public

into our lowbrow pranking, don't we? So Ben Boyce, I'm going to send you off to the soundproof booth just so you don't hear the content of this message before we put the call through. He's off, he's off. He's taken his Harry Potter drink bottle and he's going to go and fill that up at the water cooler. And all I'll say today is that Ben Boyce is so desperate

to get back on television, he's willing to put his marriage on the line. Producer Juju will go through to a reception. Good morning, Belinda speaking. Hi Belinda, how are you? Good, how are you? Doing well. It's Simon Powell here from Soulless TV Productions.

Hi. Listen, we're makers of Incest Island, So You Want to Be a Hitman, and Ice Road Bikini Truckers. Right. And we are currently in the process in production, we've started production on the next series of The Bachelor. Okay. Are you a fan of that show?

No, not really. No. Have you seen it before? Yeah, yeah, I have, yeah. I've watched it many times in the past. Would you be interested in applying for The Bachelor? Um, no. No, have you seen it before? Yeah, yeah, I have. Would you be interested in applying for The Bachelor? No. No, that's fine. I've just got to ask those questions. The reason for my phone call, Belinda, is we've had an application from a gentleman who is applying to become The Bachelor. Alright. And he has put down

this number right here. Yep. Yep, he's put down this number and he's put a little note there saying that you would be able to take the message down and he will call and retrieve it. Okay. So I'm just going, I'm just looking through his, hold on, I'll just get the paper here.

Just going through his application form here. Yep. And I just wanted to clarify a couple of things that he's written down, if possible, if you could take this message. Yeah, sure, yep. Thank you. Under his hobbies and interests, he's written down, if possible, if you could take this message. Yeah, sure, yep. Thank you. Under his hobbies and interests,

he's put down here, I love kissing da babes. Okay, I don't know who it is. No. So, um... Can you tell me the person's name? His name is Benjamin Boyce. No.

Ben Boyce. He's on the radio. What is this? He's on TV. What is this? Uh, no. Oh, Benjamin Boyce. No. Ben Boyce. He's on the radio. What is this? He's on TV. What is this? No, Benjamin Boyce. I don't think this gentleman's on TV. Not according to the photo I'm looking at. No, we don't have anyone here by that name.

This is like, what? Who's he going to call and what message is he going to retrieve? So he just wrote down on his application form, if you could phone Alison Cardage, just leave a message with them, they'll take the message down and I will retrieve the message later in the day. I'm assuming he doesn't have a landline.

I don't know that person, I don't know why they would call here. It's a really unusual method of communication, I understand that. So if you could just take the message down, that'd be fantastic, Belinda. Yep. Okay, great. So under hobbies and interests, I just wanted to clarify, he's written down here,

I love kissing da babes. Yep. And I was just needing to know how many babes has he previously kissed? I have no idea. So if he calls you, can you ask him that? Sure. Thank you.

The next category was, what will the viewing audience love about you? And he's written down here, the chicks are going to love my pecs. Oh my God. Okay. And he's written, my Tinder profile is Tyrannosaurus Pecs. Yep.

And he also calls them his disco boobies. What is this? This is really bizarre. Well, it's an unusual application form So I just basically wanted to know How often does he work out? Sorry long story short How often does he work out?

Probably seven days a week by the sound of him Yeah so if you could just ask him What he means by the chicks will love my pecs Yep And the final question was Any previous relationships? Yep He's written down here I'm currently married with two children was any previous relationships? Yep. He's written down here,

I'm currently married with two children. So he's probably really not eligible for the bachelor, is he? But then he's written, so if my wife could not find out about this, that would be useful. So I'm just wanting to clarify, is the marriage still,

is it still on? I have no idea. So if he calls you, can you just ask him that? No. Definitely not. Okay. All right. Thanks.

Bye. She said no. Come on back. Come on back for the soundproof booth. Well, congratulations, Ben. Oh, okay. Congratulations are in order. I had another baby. No, you did the baby the other way.

No, you haven't had a baby, but you have made the shortlist for the next season of The Bachelor. And you could be the star Bachelor. What? Belinda's taken down a message. There's just a few things that we need to clarify from your application form. Yeah, well, why do I want to be on The Bachelor? I don't know, mate.

You're the married one, don't you? So this is The Bachelor who's trying to date the ladies? Yeah, the TV show. And Simon Powell left a message for you. It's from Soulless TV Productions. Belinda speaking. Oh, hi, Belinda. My name's Benjamin Boyce, Ben Boyce.

Yes. Apparently I'm, well, you could be talking to the next Bachelor of New Zealand, I understand. Yep, maybe. But Simon Powell from Soulless Productions, he apparently had some things that I needed to clarify and he's left a message with you, I understand. Yes, yep. I've got the questions to ask you. Oh, you've got the questions.

All right. I can't wait for these. Apparently you put on your profile that you like kissing the babes. So how many babes have you kissed? Kissing the babes. Oh, you never kiss and tell though, don't you? Although I was quite, coming forward with quite a lot of information on my profile.

I'll come back to that one, okay. Something about your disco pecs or your pecs or your, that was your party trick, I don't know. Something about your pecs and how often do you work out? Oh, the disco pecs. Is that when I can make my pecs go your, that was your party trick, I don't know, something about your pecs and do, how often do you work out? Oh, the disco pecs, is that when I can make my pecs go up and down? I guess so. Yeah, my disco pecs. Okay, so is that going to be a problem? I thought that would kind of help me be the

bachelor. Oh, probably, but I think he yeah, just wanted to clarify. Oh, clarify they can do it. How often do you work out? Not enough, but I. Okay, and the last question, oh my gosh, I've forgotten it. How often do you work out? Not enough. Okay. And the last question. Oh my gosh, I've forgotten it.

No, I've forgotten the last question. Is he still married? Yes. Yes. Yes, are you still married with two children?

Because if you are, then you're not eligible for the Bachelor. Is that going to be a problem, is it? I'd say so. Listen, Belinda. Yes?

It's low-level radio hosts Jono and or Ben here. Yeah, well, that was obvious. This is from soulless radio productions right now. How's it going? We're good. We do a thing where Jono leaves a message for me at a random reception. I don't know what the message is until I call up, and thank you for passing on that message.

Oh, good. You said in your application form, all the audience love you, a random reception. I don't know what the message is until I call up and thank you for passing on that message. Oh, good. You said in your application form, all the audience love you and you said, the chicks will love my pecs. Yes, that's what it was. The chicks will love my pecs. Yeah, the chicks,

and you call them the Tyrannosaurus pecs. Oh, dear. Hey, Belinda. Yes. We love your work. We do this every week to receptionists. So embarrassing.

It's basically to embarrass me, Belinda. Oh, I had a good laugh too. I appreciate that. We're going to find something for you because we've probably taken up quite a lot of your time. It's okay. Well, you hold the line. We'll grab your details.

We'll send you out a prize. Thanks, guys. Not a morning person? Sadly, neither of these two. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. You know, paying for parking, I think that would probably have to be one of the biggest sucks things about being an adult.

Yeah. You know, when you're a kid, you don't care where you park, do you? Well, now you don't worry about parking, right? Yeah, not even a problem in your life. Kids, they just go through life, don't they? As a kid, you get in the car, you're like, where are we going?

You know, where are we going? Where are we going again? How long is it going to take? My car is just having a rest on a piece of concrete and I have to pay for that. Top dollar. Sometimes $30 an hour. Oh yeah. Wild. You don't actually pay for parking because I don't know what you're moaning about. You just pay for the tickets and the Baycorp bills later, right? Well, that's the thing because I've got two tickets.

And that sucks. That does suck. When Baycorp comes knocking, you know, that's when you say, we were talking about this the other day, when you get a letter in the mail that says private and confidential, you're like, mm-mm. First time I got one of those, I was like, well, this is exciting. What's this? I'm impressed.

It's going to be one of these. You've been randomly selected for a million dollars from a dead relative. But no, it's a Baycorp bill. What would you say was the worst thing about being an adult? Well, I was thinking about this yesterday. You just don't get complimented anymore. Like my kids,

I compliment my kids on the smallest things. It's like when you're getting ready, you're like, good girl, you put your shoes on. No one ever tells me,

oh, good on you, you put your shoes on. Well, you haven't today. You forgot one of them. But if I had put two on, you wouldn't compliment me. Girls, oh, thanks for putting

your dishes in the sink. They don't do the rest. No one ever compliments me on that. You're doing the heavy lifting in the kitchen. They don't do the rest. No one ever compliments me on that. You're doing the heavy lifting in the kitchen. I just feel like the kids, they get, you know, we've got a very low bar for them, right? For compliments.

I agree, Ben. So you give them compliments. And as you know, I can get enough. Oh, 800 the hits. Well, I'm going to compliment you on talking words that made sense then. Half of those made sense. Half of them didn't, but I'll take it. And frustration as well.

Yeah. Okay, so 800800 the hits. What sucks about being an adult? We're going to open this up. 4487 is the text number as well. I'm going to say one of the worst things about being an adult is having to engage with light banter with other adults who don't want to engage in light banter.

When you're a kid, you just talk to who you want to talk to when you want to talk to them. Yeah, if you're enough, you just go. Yeah. Another thing as well, many people talk about this online, you can't order from the kids' menu when you're an adult. That sucks. However, you're still buying kids' NBA singlets because they fit him.

Half price. Well, that's true. He's cracked the code. Yeah, that's right. They're a lot cheaper, the kids' singlets. Yeah, because they can't tell me I can't put that on, right? Oh, 800, that's the number. What sucks about being an adult?

We've got Emma on the phone. Welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast. What was it? Hi. Yeah, mine was a similar vein. When you're trying to put the kids to bed, they don't want to go to bed, but all you want to do yourself is go to bed.

That's true. That's true. Yeah, for once, they should put you to bed. Yeah. Leave those kids up all night long doing whatever, playing with knives or fun things. Yeah. I appreciate your call.

We're going to flick you out a Fiji 5-0 price pack, alright? Awesome, thank you. Hey, good on you. It's got a whole bunch of cool stuff in there, that price pack. Lip balm. Yeah. If you want your lips looking very wet. Voluptuous. Voluptuous, moist lips, well then this is the price pack for you.

Jodie, you're in Clarks Beach. Welcome, you're on the air. What sucks about being an adult, Jodie? It's no longer deemed appropriate to run around naked No, at what age does it become inappropriate? That's what I want to know Probably in the eyes of the law, I guess It's queued up

until an age, isn't it? What's the cue day? When is it not cute to run around nude? You were in the office last week From the warning I got from the police, it's not okay. It's given me. Love your word, Jodie. You got a Fiji price back, eh?

Because we're celebrating 50 years. 50 years, baby, of independence in Fiji. Full of an aka. Well done to you, Jodie. Thank you very much. And we'll go one more. Serena, welcome. How's Christchurch this morning?

Yeah, it's not too bad. Lovely to have you. A little bit fresh, yeah. A little bit fresh. But then, Yeah, it's not too bad. Lovely to have you. A little bit fresh, but then Craig, it always warms up in the middle of the day, doesn't it? Yeah. You live there, you know how it works. What sucks about being an adult? Mine is similar, but the napping.

My kids love to take naps during the day. I wish I could just sleep when I'm tired, have a nap. Well, that's true. As a parent, you're like, you're just tired. You need to go to sleep. I know I'm tired, but no one tells me to go to sleep. I can't sleep at all. I'm getting shocking sleeps at the moment.

I come in and I tell you guys about it. You're sick of me telling you about it. I'm almost like, I just want to vote yes for David Seymour's bill just so I can have a sleep. Oh, jeez. Stop it. Stop it. No.

You can't say that. Please don't do that. Just so I can just have a nap. Okay, you can't Stop it. Stop it. No. You can't say that. Please don't do that. Yeah, no. Just so I can have a nap. Okay, you can't say that. All right. All right, moving on now. Fiji Price back, coming your way.

We really appreciate your calls. Like starting your day without your morning coffee. It's Jono and Ben on my heads. I've been watching a lot of movies lately with the kids at home. Jeez, I've been crying a lot watching them. I don't know what it's a thing. Are you a movie crier? I haven't normally been, but now I'm a movie crier. I do get a little emotional.

I cried in that cartoon Up. Oh, yes, that was one of the ones we watched. And it's at the start. It goes through a really lovely story about the old guy and his wife. It goes through their life and how fast it goes. Maybe just really fragile people just on the edge of a breakdown. I didn't really think I was a movie crier, but yeah. Are you a movie crier, Juju?

I think so, yeah. I get quite emotional. I'm a public crier. I've cried before at a guy's leaving speech at The Rock. Yeah. I worked at The Rock. Tell you what, I got shamed out of there. Woodstock bourbon cans thrown at me.

The problem was when you cried, not that you cried, it was lovely, but you did it straight off the bat. You're like, I just want to... I didn't even get to say my speech. It was like up. It did it straight off the bat. You're like, I just want to... I didn't even get to say my speech. It was like up. It was like right at the start. Everyone's like, oh. And because you had that pranky sort of vibe history,

everyone's like, is this a prank? Is this a prank? Is this a prank? It was. And then I just awkwardly... It's a way to get out of a speech. Afterwards, I had to go and stomp myself in the cupboard. I was like...

Oh, that's so sad. And then there was like a knock on the door. I was like, are you okay in there? Nothing, nothing. Yeah, when people look at you, when you're like, it was the only emotions ever shown at The Rock. Yeah, that's right.

Yeah. So recently I've noticed I've been doing it in movies. Toy Story 3 was one I cried at the other day watching with the kids because we try to watch all these movies on like Disney Plus. And then I watched Trolls and I cried when the trolls were caught in the pot and Justin

Timberlake sings the True Colours. I was like, oh God. But then yesterday I went and bought a cartoon. You're just crying during cartoons. I know. Have you cried in a real movie? No, but I cried in a real life situation yesterday. He cried in Paw Patrol. Cried in Dora. She lost, what's his name?

Nemo. Oh, no jokes. I was thinking Dory. Oh, Dory. Gu what's his name? Nima. Boots. Nima. Oh, no, jokes. I was thinking Dory. I guarantee you cried in that one. Yeah. But yesterday I went to a Whitcalls and I was buying a card for one of my daughter's birthdays. Please don't tell me you cried in Whitcalls. I did.

Because I read a card and it was about growing up too fast and all that sort of stuff. And, you know, I obviously love my kids. And I was like. Oh, you never want to cry in a... And which cause? I know. And then there's some dude there with a skateboard and a hoodie and headphones around his head. He's like, you all right, dude?

Because no human ever wants to have to deal with a crying human. And so you're like, are you? This is an embarrassing situation. You're like, no, I'm all good. The last shop I saw you crying in was Peaches and Cream when they charged you full price. Because they weren't selling peaches or cream. I picked those up, they were on the shopping list.

He ended up with a whole bunch of other stuff. Yeah, but no peaches are great. I had to go to the supermarket afterwards on the way home. Start your day the wrong way. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Now TVNZ1's election night special, it is on Saturday. Of course, the election's happening Saturday. We all know this and it's hosted.

They're a special by John Campbell and Hilary Barry. It's going to be live on TVNZ1 from 7pm when they join us in the studio. Great to have you guys here. How's it going? Oh, it's lovely to see you. It's exciting to be working with John and seeing you guys again. You're fine young men. Look at you both.

You guys have not worked together on screen and probably not talked to each other since because I know you only talk to each other when there's a camera on. Yeah, we do. This camera is on now. So you can talk to each other now. Hi. Hi.

It's so good to see you. It's so good to see you. Yeah, we haven't worked together on screen for years. For many years. But it was always lots of fun, and it will be on Saturday night too. I'm really just there for the shits and giggles. Mainly the giggles. Will there be giggles?

Hilary Barry trademark giggles? Well, I don't know that there'll be anything worth giggling at, but we'll have a fun time. Yeah. They do say it's all about the shits and giggles. Don't they? I remember the night John Key got elected in, and they're like, oh, he's ordered Pizza Hut,

and there was a guy who was the Pizza Hut delivery person was coming up to his house, dropping off pizza, and that was a live cross. Yeah, that was definitely a live cross. Well, the nice thing about some of the leaders, because we have reporters at all of the leaders' houses, they come out and feed the poor reporters who are standing out there in the cold and sometimes the wet.

And John Key would do that. He'd order pizzas and send them out to the media. Clark Gayford fried up some fish for the media last time. I think he had Helen Clark's place. There were cookies that came out one year. When Clark gave fish, Paddy Gale did an investigation into whether he had

quota. With a legal size. Paddy Gale on Clark investigation into whether he had quota. With a legal sign. Paddy Gow on Park Haven. The expose. Now, I was watching a lovely clip last night from a few years ago, Hilary, where you were quite teary where John was leaving, you know, TV3. Now you're back together. Do you regret crying over him now?

You're like, oh, I shed those tears at the time. Now we're working together again. No, and I would cry over him again. But it's great how things work out. You're together, seven o'clock. And the amazing thing is that you could never have told the Hilary Barry that was crying that night on the news that this would have happened.

It's so good on so many levels. And that we're talking to you guys. Yeah, so suck on this media week. So careful. And that we're talking to you guys. Yeah. Yeah, so suck on this media week. John Campbell. There we go. There's the thing they'll put on the Herald. TV One's election night special, this Saturday hosted by John Campbell and Hilary Barry.

Well done. Four for four. And during lockdown, what did Hillary become very famous for doing on social media on Fridays? Wearing a tiara on formal Friday. So I think now Hillary's going to take out a trespass order because it's almost like I know too much. No pressure on you now, Hillary. There's so much pressure on me. Oh, John, I don't want to disappoint you.

All right, John Campbell's favourite rugby team? The Hurricanes. Well done. Okay, how many kids does John Campbell have? Two. Well done. What did John Campbell's mum open in Martinborough? A restaurant.

And a bottle of wine. I'm sure many bottles of wine. Does John Campbell own a cat or a dog? A dog. Well, according to this article article you do own a dog called cute Jack Russell Schnauzer called Cosmo Cosmo when he meets a bitch from Herne Bay

But Oh hi I'm Cosmo But Mo when he's just in the Graylin Hood He's got different aliases So this one might be tough This is to get 5 out of 5 John Campbell's favourite US singer who brought him to tears

Sharon Van Etten. Yes! Well done. Five out of five. Well done. Do you know what you don't know about John Campbell? Is that he has a very specific taste in music. Yeah, two very specific tastes in music.

Yeah, sad music. Women singing sad, sad, sad songs. And then kind of hip hop. I'm not so big on the hip hop. But I do love a bit of sad music. So if John gets a hint that you might even be aligned with some of his music takes, he makes you a mixtape. Oh, a mixtape. I know, and so I've got a number of

John Campbell mixtapes over here, including a lot of Sharon Vanita. Oh, well you did well on that one. He's got more volumes than now that's what I call music. Now that's what I call John Campbell's volume. Well lovely, so lovely to see you guys and it's so great to see you all over the telly and see you Saturday night election special on one

I can't wait see you then thanks for having us you lovely boys want more Jono and Ben you can catch up with the boys anytime just search Jono and Ben on Facebook friends and family you know you put a lot of trust in them

from time to time I heard a story in the weekend friends of ours bought a house and they couldn't be there for the auction because they were away and they got another friend to go in on their behalf and bid at the auction and he did I mean that's I got you the house oh awesome paid three and a half million dollars you wanted that house you said you wanted the house I got you that house because that happened with same thing with my wife she I

couldn't do it I couldn't go to our auction we bought the house and so she took a friend of ours along and he went along as that you know and, and he was helping bid in that. And I was like, oh, we got the house. You're like, yeah, but how much did you pay for it? Because I mean, anyone can get a house and they just keep going on an auction, right? It's how much you pay for it is the thing. Ironically, that friend also moved in with her and Ben wasn't invited into the house.

It was an odd thing. They're having a great time. I wish them all the best. Getting on the property ladder. It's hard to get on the property ladder so I really admire it. You just thought you were going to be part of that ladder climb. And it turns out you weren't. But they got out there and they got on the property ladder and that's the main thing

and that's why I'm not bitter. I don't trust myself to do it. I don't even trust myself. I'm a shaky pair of hands. You know I am. I'm like an alcoholic who hasn't had a drink in three days. My hands are that shaky. But the last thing I was trusted with doing was babysitting for a friend. Because we're just working so early, you know,

that I can just fall asleep, bang, like that, in an instant. It's my only magic trick. It's my superpower. If the Avengers want a guy who can fall asleep on the job within three minutes, that's me. And I was like, okay, I just need to stay up until 8.30

for when the kids go to bed. And I woke up on the couch with a kid poking me in the side of my face going, it's 10 o'clock, it's our bedtime. And then I had to sit them down. I go, okay, now mum and dad don't need to know about this. I haven't been asked back.

I haven't been asked back. With good reason. Got some tax-free cash though, $10 an hour babysitting. So we want to know this morning what have you trusted a friend with and did it work out? You trusted me with your EFTPOS pin. I've never told anybody it was 8766. Never,

not once. Okay, yeah, those sort of examples. Was it a job doing something for you? A secret? Maybe it was looking after something? Love to hear from you this morning. We've got some of these Fiji Five-0 price packs to give away. They are worth $200. We shall go to Sharon. She's in Auckland.

Welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast Shares. Good morning. How are you? Oh, listen, lovely. All the better for having you on our programme. Thank you. Who did you trust? Why are you trusted?

Who was the trust? Oh, it was my best mate. We, um, she booked, um, organised a girls' weekend away to New South Wales, which was really cool. So, yeah, it all went well. So it was a really nice trip. Oh, so you trusted someone to plan a holiday for you? Yeah.

Now, that's a lot of fun. That's a lot of trouble. Did you end up doing any activities where you're like, hmm, I wouldn't have done this? Yeah, lots of cocktails involved. So, yeah, that was really nice. You're like, well, if you have planned for these, then I guess I've got to do them.

We're going to flick you out a Fiji 5.0 price pack with $200, all right? Thanks so much. Appreciate you calling. I'll tell you who

is actually trustworthy then, and we trust them too. Most trusted, Skinny. Aren't they our fine sponsors? Oh yeah, what a nice way to plug

that. Yeah, you know what they're all about? They're all about keeping prices low and customers happy. Well, they would do anything for

their friends, just like we're doing anything for the show. So, yeah, thank you, Skinny. That was some wonderful integration there for me, wasn't it? Yeah, we needed to go with it. But, yeah, they're very trustworthy. Hey, Steph, you're on the air.

How are you? I'm good, thanks, guys. How are you? Oh, we're doing well. Tauranga, beautiful this morning, I imagine. It is, as ever. Who are you trusting, Steph? It was about 10 years ago.

I had to leave quite abruptly, got offered a job overseas in London. And I left my friend literally every single position I had, like from my car to my favourite diamond earrings. And I got her to sell them all. And she did a good job. Oh, wow. That is a lot of responsibility to put on someone. Yeah.

Yeah, it was. She should go to like one of those gold shops that are across the road from the casino. Gold for cash. Cash for gold. Did she get some good money

for the diamond earrings? I don't know how much I got and how much she got. Oh, okay. You trusted. Hey,

the point of this was trusting them. That's right. Now you sound like you're not so sure. Doesn't matter if she changed her phone number and fleeced her of hundreds of thousands of dollars,

at least you trusted her. Yeah. That's the main thing. Well done. Someone's texted in 4487, I was trusted to look after my sister's cat while she went away, and it got run over.

Why'd you read that out? Why did you read that out? Because there's a text that came through, mate. Why did you read it out? Because it came through on 4487. We don't have to read every text that comes through. There's a lot of ones that say they don't like us. Also, Ben Bush, you're two months late on your child support payments,

apparently, according to Tracy in Southland. All right. Don't know what that's all about. You never trusted me with any of that information. No. Wake up full of shame. Wake up with these guys. It's Jono and Ben on the hits.

We're just talking about people you've trusted over the years and someone's just texted and my wife gave her BFF her credit card and the BFF made it rain. $15,000. Oh! And then denied it was her and ran off. Really? And another text here.

I know you like these scandalous texts coming through on 4487BN boys. Another text here. I trusted my friend to just live in my flat while I was away with my boyfriend. They ended up shacking up. No. Yes. Oh, no. I feel like a couple of gossipy old ladies down at the bowling club.

You didn't hear it from me, but. You hear about Deirdre and Steve. And a final text too. I've trusted Jono to put on a good show. I'm still waiting. That's from our boss Todd yesterday my neighbour he's got boys

that are about sort of you know 10, 11 and they're having a fundraiser at the primary school they go to

and you've got to do and they're always like home baked goods make sure they're home baked why do they have to be home baked yeah true just buy them from the

yeah true pack and save there's unnecessary pressure on this guy Home-baked goods. Make sure they're home-baked. Why do they have to be home-baked? Yeah, true. Just buy them from the very... Yeah, true. Buy them and think, the people in New Zealand don't want to buy them, aren't they? Yeah, there's unnecessary pressure on this guy.

Bring a gold coin, buy that sort of thing, right? Yeah, so a cake stall and so he was like, I felt the acid coming on from the PTA to provide a home-baked something. So he went and got

the classic New Zealand cake book, the... Oh, like the Women's Weekly one. The famous one that's been around for years. The birthday cake book. It's got the swimming pool with the green jello in it. The train. I always wanted the train as a kid, but never got it.

The racing car. I think it was a bit beyond mum's cake making level. Abilities. I mean, it was really putting some unnecessary pressure on parents that book, wasn't it? I know, they'd stay up on days, you know, wide awake for two days beforehand trying to make a cake. I haven't slept for three days.

On your birthday, they're having like the worst day ever because they're coming down from a cake, aye? But he did this, he's like, I'll make one out of this, how hard can it be? He decided to go the rocket, you know, the rocket ship. Oh, yes, yeah. Now, and then,

he showed me, he showed me a photo of it. He dropped it off at the school. He's like, it ended up looking rather testacular. So this is the rocket? Yeah, because it's got the flames down the bottom. Which sort of resemble, and then the rocket's sort of very phallic in nature. Oh, no. But he dropped it off

so I don't know how it's gone in the cake still. Were they like, is this a rocket? Or is this, yeah. We tried making every cake in that book, remember?

We were like, we'll do it all in 24 hours and that was an absolute shambles, wasn't it? What you don't realise is it's making the sponges and stuff that take so long. The icing it is,

well not the easy part because we weren't good at that either but that's the quicker part. Yeah, it's like Sir Edmund and Hilary going so long. The icing it is, we're not the easy part because we weren't good at that either, but that's the quicker part. Yeah, it's like Sir Edmund Hillary going up Everest with no hiking boots. We were not, we were ill prepared. I know.

Blind, blind faith. So we had to get like three quarters of the, we got like 20 people from our team into coming to bake cakes. Even then we couldn't do it, right? But the effort that goes into baking a cake and the reward, the ratio never stacks up.

Yes, it does. No, it doesn't. No, it doesn't. Go down to Pack and Save. People love it, though. It's one of those things, if you can do it, I think you can do it. It's a nice thing to do. It's like, I've made this cake. Oh, it's so lovely. Look at this cake. Yeah, well, you get baked quite a bit, don't you? But I've never seen

any cakes. This is the unusual thing. Maybe eat them all before I get there. There we go. Nice plug for the referendum that's happening this weekend. Lou in calories and Lou in laughs. It's Jono and Ben on my hips. The election is this weekend and joining us in the studio right now is the Deputy

Prime Minister of New Zealand, Winston Peters. I'm a little bit nervous because Jack Tame on TV1 Winston Peters told him off the other day. Okay, let me ask another question. I regret coming here this morning to stop off my campaign to come along to see some junior think he's going to play Billy the Kid.

And then yesterday on the AM show with Duncan Garner, Winston Peters had this great line about polling. Is it on your mind that the polls are low and that it could be the end? Does it weigh on you? Duncan, look, I've been to Warsaw. It's the capital of Poland. That's where Poles live.

That's what I do when I talk about Poles. All the rest is just ridiculous. So there we go. He's just walking in right now. The right Honourable Winston Peters. Thank you for coming in this morning. Thank you for asking me. Oh, it's nice.

We appreciate it. We saw you. We were just saying before, your bus travelled past us when we were driving back from Topol over the weekend. Looked like a nice bus. We had a shoot down to Palmerston North in Fielding

and then on to Whanganui. Are you in the bus? Are you in the bus? What's in the bus? Is it like a party bus when it's not the New Zealand First bus and there are poles hanging down? No, none of that. It's got two work desks, printers and all the equipment.

Like an office that you can carry on working. Well, it's a mobile office and a lot of work gets done on it. We have to keep going because we're in the most unusual election where you have to campaign whilst you can't hold a meeting and all that sort of stuff. Yeah. One thing I really like about you, Winston, is your quick lines on the spot.

Duncan Garner the other day was, you know, trying to get under your skin about polling. You don't know my skin. That's all they've ever tried to do, get under my skin. And you said you'd been to Poland or something like that and you'd seen the polls. The capital of Poland is Warsaw. That's where the polls are.

Those are the ones I respect. Cut out the nonsense and stop telling the world, you know, anything about this game of politics. And polling is so inaccurate these days. It got Trump wrong. Trump was 32% behind and he won. How could those pollsters know what they're doing? Then Brexit, 4 million people were missing from their polls.

That's why they got a big shock on election night on the 23rd of June 2016 when the British left. And then in Australia, Charlton was going to certainly win and Scott Morrison was dead on the water, they said, and he gets home. I would have thought about it about then. They would stop saying they know something about polls. But you know your mates in the media. We are the media.

We're the experts on everything. They're right. What do you want to talk about? We know it all, Winston. We know it all. Forget about having court trials. Just go and ask them what the legalities are. Don't bother with the cost of the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeal and the High Court. Just ask them because they know what the law is.

Do you have a love-hate relationship with journalists or a hate-hate relationship? I have a far greater admiration from journalists or real journalism than I think any of them do have. I've read Wadi on history. The fourth estate is critical for keeping the system honest, for taking on the establishment. Mate, I've taken Wadi on history. The fourth estate is critical for keeping the system honest, for taking on the establishment. Mate, I've taken on the establishment far more times than the media have,

and it's cost me plenty in court cases. But I've never stopped taking on the establishment. Now, Winston, I found a hilarious interview with Jack Tame a couple of weeks ago. Very tame, Jack. Very tame, Jack. You called him, you know, young Billy the Kid. You didn't want to be stitched up by a young journalist. What happens after those moments?

Do you just rip your headphones out and walk off, or do you sit there and have to have awkward banter with the host? Look, you're there to be fairly represented. The great interviewers I've watched worldwide, when the person walks out of the interview, I know far more about him and her than before it was started. Too often in this country, it becomes a contest. Here comes Billy the Kid, and I'm going to shoot the sheriff.

The sheriff's been around for a number of decades in this town, and I can't even handle a gun, but I want to take him out. And my decision is, no, no, sunshine, before I leave here, you'll have what Ali G used to call a thing called respect. Oh, Mr. Peters is with us. Just quickly before you go, a couple of quick questions. It's the year of being kind. It's what the Prime Minister's told us to do.

So we'd like you to say some kind words about the following politicians. Number one, David Seymour. Oh, I think David's doing a great job as a leader of a one-man team. Sort of a double-edged compliment there. I don't know what to take from that. No, you can't take that away. Great job as a leader of a one-man team. Judith Collins?

What could you say about Judith Collins? Oh, I think the greatest thing about Judith Collins is her big heart. She's got a big heart? Okay. And Jacinda Ardern? Oh, I think compassion. And Winston Peters, what do you want to say about yourself?

I don't. All those people who say, I want to leave with a legacy and I want this. Look, it's been enormous,

it's an enormous privilege to be in politics and if you don't like it, you can't find another job. It's exciting and you have more laughs in one day than you get in a month in other professions that I know

about, apart from your guys, but then you're trained to do that. Listen, we're not getting many laughs here. I think it's our job, too, but we failed. Yeah. Winston, you've been an amazing job for New Zealand over the years. All the best for this weekend. Thank you very, very much. And don't you guys miss the message, right?

You need to take out some insurance. If you second vote New Zealand first, you're going to be safe. That's a great line. Good line. And thank you very much for being so generous with your time with us over the years. We do really appreciate that. You've helped us out on a number of occasions and you really, you've probably got better things to be doing. I feel like the Americans

not at all. It was a real pleasure. Winston Peters, ladies and gentlemen. Like starting your day with panda eyes. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Spy the WhatsApp. Spy.co.nz Now to Producer Juliet. We've actually got some really big news.

Producer Juliet is pregnant. She's pregnant and she's just given birth to a wonderful celebrity baby. Thanks so much. Here she is with her celebrity updates. All right. That was the weirdest intro we've had so far. That was. I was like, am I really?

I didn't know that So Gwyneth Paltrow And Kate Hudson Have talked about Their worst on screen Kisses And they've kissed A lot of people

In their career And Kate Hudson Stop kiss shaming Gwyneth Paltrow And Kate Hudson I'm jealous I'm jealous Because Kate Hudson

Kissed Matthew McConaughey In a couple of movies I think they started together. But apparently he's the worst kisser that she's kissed. Oh, really? All right, all right, all right. All right, all right, all right, Matthew. Probably because he's saying that while he's kissing.

All right, all right, all right. Can you just stop me saying all right, all right, all right? He keeps going to the right. The right is where I come in. But she said there was always something kind of going on when they were kissing. At one point there was a bit of snot. It must be such a weird thing.

I know. Conditions would have to be perfect for a kiss. But you've got your crew standing around. Hairy people with their plumbers cracks out filming you. Your first thing in the morning. You know, like, it's not as romantic as it looks on screen, I imagine. Oh, for sure. It's always more romantic because they had the music.

And music just changes everything, doesn't it? Yeah. So there was some dribble issues going on there with their first kiss? Dribble issues and like wind everywhere, like, you know, hair going everywhere. It's just a bit of a mess. Wind's not good for a kiss, is it? I don't know.

When you hear kissing on screen and you hear the, can you pull down the music, Juju? They hear the... Because that's what it would be like on the day without the music, right? That is what it would be. You almost want to look away, wouldn't you? You'd be like on the day without the music right that is what a group would sit around going and you almost want to look away you'd be filming you go the camera's on them I'm just going to look away

I kind of want to hear the music that comes it's the most disturbing noise are you a good kisser Ben? no no no don't kiss me don't kiss these lids claim it claim it I'm honest I'm not giving a No, I'm honest. I'm honest.

I'll give it a crack, but I'm not. I'll give it a crack. Just so you know, I'll give this a crack, but I'm not that good at it. It's what he said to his wife, and that's what sealed the deal. Exactly. She's like, I like an uncertain man who has no faith in his kissing ability.

You like a confident man? Well, not me. And speaking of kissing, someone that none of us would probably want to kiss, Donald Trump obviously sort of recovered from COVID-19. He's immune now. He's immune. According to him. He's immune.

And at a sort of rally, this is what he had to say to the audience. One thing with me, the nice part, I went through it. Now they say I'm immune. I can feel, I feel so powerful. I'll walk into that audience. I'll walk in there. I'll kiss everyone in that audience. I'll kiss the guys and the beautiful women and everybody.

I'll just give you a big fat kiss. He's a confident kisser. I'll give you a big fat kiss. It's a confident kisser. I'll give you a big fat kiss. Yeah, he reminds me of Derek from Sales when he made that speech at our last work function. He does. I love all of you. It's like he's drunk.

He doesn't drink, but it's like he's drunk. He's never drunk. No. He's never had a drink. No. Don't drunk. His dad had some alcohol issues, I think it was. Just never touched a drop.

Yeah. Which is amazing. For someone who's obviously quite wealthy, you'd think they'd be it was. Yeah, and just never touched a drop. Yeah, which is amazing. Someone who's obviously quite wealthy, you'd think they'd be drinking champagne. Oh, yeah. It's almost like you wish he did drink because it could explain some things. It makes it more disturbing he doesn't.

Yeah, exactly. And that's Spy. For more, you can head to thehits.co.nz. We apologise in advance. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Scrolling through your feed. Watch out, Simon Dallow. There's a new newsman in town.

I'm talking about Jack Tame. He's coming for your job. It's definitely not me, right? On an unrelated matter, here's Ben Boyce with some shoddy news that's broken overnight. Now, of course, everyone's talking about the election, not just in New Zealand, which is happening on Saturday, but also in America, which is just three weeks away. Are they in November, are they? Yeah.

That's three weeks away, Jono. Well done to you. Now, Donald Trump, he's had coronavirus. He's back out there now, and he reckons he's immune. He's never going to get it again. He says he feels 20 years younger. And this is what he wanted to do when he was talking at a rally yesterday. One thing with me, the nice part, I went through it, now they say I'm immune,

I can feel, I feel so powerful, I'll walk into that audience. I'll walk in there, I'll kiss everyone in that audience. I'll kiss the guys and the beautiful women and everybody, I'll just give you a big fat kiss. It's like, if you listen to that, and you, is that the president? I'll kiss every one of you.

The guys, the beautiful women. He's like the uncle that you need to apologise for before introducing your partner to your family. Exactly. Oh, look, there's Uncle Donald. He's going to say some stuff. Just ignore him. Just let him wash over here.

By the way, he's the president of the United States. He's had a crack at Joe Biden, who, of course, he's running against for President. Now, Joe Biden is 77 years old. Trump is 74 years old, but he sent out a meme this morning, and Producer Juliet, what was the meme that Donald Trump's put out?

So it's a photo of a bunch of people in a retirement home, and it's got Biden's face covering one of them, badly photoshopped into the meme, and then it's got Biden's face covering one of them, photoshopped, badly photoshopped into the meme. And then it says Biden for President, but the P has been crossed out, so it's Biden for Resident. In the old folks' homes. He's a resident of the old folks' homes. I love it that he's dedicated time

to probably White House staff time to creating memes. He probably had a meme meeting where 30 people had to pitch memes to him. They're going through all the lists of important stuff, what he's going to say at the speech. He's buying into his time.

No, don't like that. What's he going to say at a meme? You've got to be joking. That's good. That's good. I'll pitch that to him. You should have been

in the meme meeting. You should have been in the meme meeting. It's a shoddy meme too. It's something like Juliet would scrap up for us. Yeah, we'll go on. Yeah, should we put that

on our socials? That'll get four likes. Now, from tomorrow, New Zealanders will be able to fly to New South Wales and the Northern Territory in Australia, but when they come back,

they have to go into two weeks quarantine. We gave away trips. Remember during lockdown, we did a promo, unusually, with New South Wales tourism. I think we're seeing people

thinking about it when the bubble was going to open up again. And we gave away trips so people who won those trips now will be able to take them. Yeah, if they want to quarantine on the way back.

Do you still have to quarantine in a hotel? Sorry to talk over you, Ben. Do you still need to quarantine in a hotel when you get back here or you can quarantine in your house now?

I think it's still going to need to be in a hotel. Still hotel stuff. Do you pay for it now? Or is the government still paying for it? I think it depends

on how long you're staying back in New Zealand for. So I think it's if it's over a certain amount of time and you're going to be here for ages, three months. Is that right? Yeah, three months. So I reckon 200 Kiwis are going to head over there in the weekend.

That's what they reckon. And also this week in flight news, that seven-hour flight to nowhere in Australia. Oh, the Qantas one? Yeah. Well, that went off and everyone did that, had a great time, except for the people that complained about the environment because the flight left from Sydney, saw some lovely landmarks and arrived back in Sydney.

But do you know how much it cost to go on that flight? So $787 for an economy seat, $1,700 for a premium, and business class, $3,700. To fly to literally nowhere. And it was sold out. Within 10 minutes, their fastest ever selling flight on Qantas. Remember we flew once,

we were meant to go to Christchurch from Auckland and they were like, oh, it's a bit foggy, you know, but we'll leave Auckland now. Hopefully by the time

we get to Christchurch, it'll be, you know, the fog would have disappeared. And then we're getting closer to Christchurch and the pilot's like, listen,

we just can't land. We're going to have to turn around and the whole's like, listen, we just can't land. We're going to have to turn around, and the whole plane went, oh! Yeah. Right, now, in those situations, I think what they need to do, the pilot needs to throw it to the audience and go, all right, who's winning to run the gauntlet on this one?

And there's a show of hands, like a democracy, the majority wins, and I think in that occasion, we would have taken the risk. We pretty much did a three hour flight to nowhere, because we flew down there, we circled for a bit, and then we flew all the way back. When we came back to the airport in Auckland, and it was chaos. Remember, you just couldn't

anyway, oh this is a boring story. Shut up Jono, who cares about your travels? Why are we still talking? It's four minutes 44 seconds. Did you get back? What happened? How did you get home from the airport? Did you go to Dunkin' Donuts? Go on, more stuff. What's the point of mocking me?

You were part of the story. I was trying to include you, Ben. I know, Julia's playing the song. She's shutting us up. She's wrapping us up. It's like the Academy Awards with the music plays. We've gone on too long. Want more Jono and Ben?

You can catch up with the boys anytime. Just search Jono and Ben on Instagram. The A to Z of New Zealand. A little something we like to do every day on the show. We're calling every town and city in New Zealand. We go all one a day. We do it alphabetically. We're slowly making our way all around New Zealand.

We're heading to Harrisville this morning. We're in the H's and Harrisville just sits south of Auckland, which is a larger metropolis loved by the entire country for its superiority complex, coffee snobbery and expensive four-wheel drives that only ever utilise the two-wheel function. This is Auckland, not Harrisville? Not Harrisville. Harrisville's only home to 363 people. Oh, really? So whereabouts is it located?

Oh, no. I get that wrong. Harrisville's home to 363. 33 of those are humans. 333 of them are chickens? Oh, no, I get that wrong. Harrisville's home to 363. 33 of those are humans. 333 of them are chickens. Oh, really? Colonel Sanders would be frothing, wouldn't he? He'd be warming up the deep fryer in Harrisville.

And I think we're going to go through to the chicken and poultry farm now. Hello, Katie speaking. Hello, Katie. How are you? Good. It's Jono and Ben here from the Hits radio station. Oh, hi. How are you going?

And we are phoning every town in New Zealand, Harrisville, you're next on the list. We've got to knock you off. Okay. Or talk to you. Yeah, yeah. As in, less threatening. Well, can you tell us about it? Where is it?

Just north of Tuakau, and that's very close to Pukekohe. Oh, okay. So sort of south of Auckland. Right. North of Hamilton. Yeah, very much north of Hamilton, yep. Would you suggest a day trip to visit the what? Harrisville Heritage Poultry.

That's my business. Oh, okay. Great. How many chickens have you got there? At the moment, probably getting up close to 400. Do you name them? Yeah, you wouldn't name them all, would you? No, only the ones with a certain character get named. Oh, okay. Oh, the standout ones. It's like a big school with

too many students. You only know the really good ones and the really bad ones. Game of Thrones. I found that with Game of Thrones. I didn't know half the characters by the end of it. Too many characters. And so how many times do you have to feed the chickens every day? I go out twice. Because there's a lot to maintain. 400 animals. Yeah.

It's the feeding that's not the problem, actually. It's keeping everyone clean with water and things, especially in summer. Very nice. So I feel like we've focused a lot on... We were meant to be learning about the place. Yeah, sorry. We've focused quite a lot on chicken. Mind you, you said this was the only place we could go and visit so we've really zeroed in

on the chicken and poultry production. It's a pretty tiny little town so there's not a great deal to come and see to be fair. Oh, really? What would be the population? Little. More chickens than people or?

Yeah, I'd probably say there's probably more chickens than people. There's a primary school, there's... And that's about it. Oh, there's a primary school and an excessive amount of chickens, but you don't want to count those

before they've hatched. That's what they always say. Nope. So the chicken-to-human ratio is a little off kilter. Hey, well, you and your chickens go and have a wonderful day. What's your favourite chicken?

What's their name? We have Henry and Gracie that are our pet ones and they wander around the backyard keeping everyone in line. Could you do us a favour and name Jono and Ben two chickens? Can that happen today? Oh yeah, that's quite good. Name two Jono and Ben. Sure I can.

Just pick a couple that hang out together and you're like, oh, they can be Jono and Ben. Can you do that? Yeah, sure. You're good. We bullied they can be John and Ben. They can be John and Ben. Can you do that? Yeah, sure. Okay, great. You're good. We bullied you into that. I don't think you went fully on board with it. It was a bit of hesitation.

To be honest, you're not going to be like, yeah, no, I did. I will have a quick look out there today and see if I can see any John or Ben chickens. If there's a hairless chicken, a featherless chicken, that can be me, and one that looks a little malnourished, that can be Ben. Which is hopefully not happening, so there you go. But you just name a couple of chickens, that'd be great. No problem. Love your work, thank you very much Katie.

No worries. I don't think she's going to name chickens after us, but she was lovely all the same. I wouldn't name chickens after us. Making poor life decisions every morning. It's Jono and Ben on the Hats. So, Jen, my wife, she ordered, you know,

you get shopping delivered and we ordered some sweet chilli sauce. Are you a fan of the sweet chilli sauce? Yes, I like sweet chilli sauce. Trident sweet chilli sauce. So, you know, we go through it. We mow our way through it. I'll go through a little bottle every week.

Right. Obviously, it's a lot of sweat. It's every week. It's high sweet's a lot of sweaters. Every week? It's high sweet chilli sauce consumption my friend. Every week? Every week. Wow. Yeah. That and tomato sauce yeah. I'm a condiment guy Ben you know this. Yeah. I'm a saucy

individual. But see she ordered these things and she's like oh I've got slightly bigger ones. She got two bottles of Trident that are like 2.5 litre tubs of Trident. You know swapper bottles where you have beers? I've got those with sweet sizes. I can't even

fit them in the cupboard. I was like, is my sauce consumption out of control now? People love their condiments. They do. And I've got so many of them. So many sauces in the cupboard. And I want to play a game with you right now. This is called Speaking Saucy.

Okay. Now you name us. It's like word tennis. You need to name a sauce. Well you're going to win because I'm not really a condiments guy. No but you know sauces. You know sauces. Oh yeah I guess so. Yeah. Okay. I feel like you've come prepared. I feel like you're like I'm a condiments guy

but here's a game that I want to play. Clearly, all the balls are in your court right now, right? You're like, I'm just like, what? I just thought we were... I don't know what we were talking about right now. You've come prepared with a game that you've clearly planned out. Yeah. I wanted to surprise you.

Shall I play some game music? Yeah, go on, you do it. How about we play a condiment game tomorrow? Have a think about some of your favourite condiments. Because I... You feel underpaid. Yeah, but I'm in house. Very underpaid.

Yeah, this is like sending you off to Wimbledon to take on Nadal. Yeah. Oh, I'll go to the UK. Why? Oh, you'll see when you get there. Don't bring a tennis racket, though. And then you're like, away you go, mate. You're like, what?

Okay. Okay, so this is speaking saucy. I'm going to launch with, given that I've probably caused a worldwide sweet chilli sauce shortage, I'm going to go with sweet chilli sauce. So is this not going brands? We're just going like... No, just sauces, yeah. Okay, let's go. Mayonnaise?

Tomato sauce. Oh, jeez. Ketchup? Sriracha. Oh, jeez, he's come quite prepared. Would you say mustard is a condiment? Yeah, I would, yeah. Garlic.

Mayonnaise. What about soy sauce? Is soy sauce okay? Oyster sauce. Worcestershire sauce. Worcestershire. Worcestershire sauce. They always do a list every year of the hardest words to say for radio hosts. Worcestershire sauce. Worcestershire sauce. They always do a list every year of the hardest words to say for radio hosts.

Worcestershire sauce. Don't tell me you're failing now. I was the one who came prepared for this. What would I lump out next? What's another good sauce? Barbecue sauce. Oh, okay. Apricot sauce.

Greek aioli. Aioli. Oh, that's a good one. Aioli's a good one. Oh, jeez. That's the speaking saucy, ladies and gentlemen. We're going one for one on the sauces. I can't think of anything off the top of my head.

I think I might be out. What about like a plum sort of sauce? Juliet's giving a nod of approval for a plum sort of sauce. Okay. Okay. Okay. You've outsourced me. Have you seen Sriracha? Yeah, I did.

Oh, you did, yeah. Well done to you. I mean, who would have thought? I didn't see that coming. I had planned that last night. I hadn't planned it either. Yeah, no, I had prepped that. He outsourced me.

Speaking of sourcing, it was quite fun. And that's why you come to this show The unpredictable winnings Of the novelty games That we're not prepared for So well done Ben boys Wake up and smell them Actually no

Please don't smell them That's odd It's Jono and Ben On the hits I know you've been dreaming About Harry Styles On Monday night Juliet Yeah

You were talking about How you like to go on holiday With both of the Hemsworth brothers yesterday Where does Sean Mendes sit? Oh he's up there. Is he? Top three?

He's so up there. Honestly, when he came to the office and got mic'd up, he had to lift his shirt and I was standing right behind him. I was like, damn. Hello. Damn. I can lift my shirt up. Oh.

Don't. Okay. So it's just the office there, guys. Thank you. Yeah. Now, last night we were skinny. Friends of the show, aren't they skinny? Yeah. It's awesome to work with these guys. Oh, great. Now, last night we, Skinny, friends of the show, aren't they, Skinny? Yeah, it's awesome

to work with these guys. They're great. Yeah, no, because they're all about keeping prices low and keeping what, happy? Customers happy. Customers happy.

For a while there, they were just sponsoring you for that reason, to keep the prices low and customers happy. Yeah, that went on for three or four weeks. It was a little bit awkward for me.

You started to get weird about it. Oh, yeah, it was like, John, I brought you by Skinny. I was like, oh, okay. So now it's both of us. They're friends with both of us both we had to pander to his fragile ego and get him sponsored as well apparently because he's like there's an end in between our names so uh yeah last night we uh went to an event didn't we it was like a team building event you know drink the company kool-aid sort of jazz isn't it it was fun and we went along and we hosted a quiz uh which was cool you know like everyone played wins the teams and we hosted a quiz, which was cool. You know, like everyone played Wednesday teams and we hosted a quiz.

We didn't know any of the answers to the questions in the quiz. So we inevitably ended up playing, like asking the question, but then trying to figure out the answers on stage. And then you would talk through the microphone and everyone would hear your answers. You'd be like, is it Dave Hillenburn? I'll be like, yeah, I think so. But shh, because everyone would hear it. You're going to be like, shut up, stopimurn? I'll be like, yeah, I think so. But shh, because everyone would hear it. They're going to be like, shut up.

Stop saying the answers in the microphone. You're like, I know this one. It's such a, you're like, I can't mate. Yeah. Quizzes are fun though, aren't they? One question that I don't think anyone will be able to answer right now on 0800 The Hits that came up last night. Yeah, two of the teams actually got it, which was impressive.

So this was starting with T. So the clue was it starts with T. But who was the inventor of the World Wide Web? If anyone knows the answer, 0800 the hits. We've got a Fiji prize pack. Ben Boyce is in the pocket of the Fiji Tourism Board, and he's celebrating 50 years of independence in Fiji, aren't you?

Yeah, that's right. So if you know who the inventor of the World Wide Web is, starting with T, give us a call, 0800 the hits. But we've had a few shockers over the years, sort of public speaking. I don't know why people would get us to emcee anything. We loved it last night. It was fun. Yeah, it was great fun. But I don't know why people would get us to do it. We've got to do another one

next week, House of the Year. We did it last year. I'm surprised we got invited back, to be honest. We had one where we did it at Te Papa. We've talked about this before. We were hosting there and you walked off stage and it was quite, you know, the lights were out. It was dark. And you walked straight into one of Sir Peter Jackson's soldiers. Yeah, one of his big fingers.

You know, he was holding a gun. I walked into his, I think it was the trigger finger, didn't it? And it, jeez, it rendered a big old like a welt on my forehead, like a giant lump. And then you saw me and you're like, what is wrong with you? You came back on stage, you're bleeding. You're like, jeez, those guys just had a brawl behind the stage. Must be going really badly. That was a shocker. Another time I think

I held up a big trophy going, look at this, this is going to be the grand prize winner at the end of the night and it had the winner's name all over it and I gave away the surprise. Again, well this is not a great advert for booking more MC gigs for us. We are available, you can hit up our agent. We'd love to do it. If you want your event to be ruined,

we'll happily ruin it for you on stage. Phil's joined us from Papamoa. Do you know the answer? Who invented the World Wide Web, Phil? World Wide Web? It was Tim Berners-Lee. Oh, he knew it. Well done.

No one got it last night. That was incredible. How do you know that? Oh, and I was just checking it the other day, actually. Some trivia thing I was looking at the other day, so yeah. Oh, well done. We got you a Fiji prize pack worth $200 coming your way alright? Okay that's awesome

thank you very much. Have a great day. You look after Papa Mo, well there we go, that was wonderful wasn't it? Good on you. It's amazing those things that retain in your head, you're like oh yeah I know this one. My only fact I know that Lake Taupo is the size of Singapore. Now I know that. Singapore home to 5 million people that's my only fact I know that Lake Taupo is the size of Singapore. Now I know that. Singapore, home to 5 million people.

Yeah, that's my only fact I know. And my only joke I know is Juliet. Okay, wrapping up now. You know Fleetwood Mac? Yeah. Stevie Nicks? Yeah. She had a secret marriage to actor William Shatner back in the days. And she hyphenated her name after the marriage and she was Stevie Shatner Nicks.

Oh God. My only joke I know. I'm just going to leave you this one. It's all up to you. When you feel like you've had enough, you just... Yeah, no, I've had enough now. I've said my only fact and my only joke. That's I've got no more.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah, good plants and mats. Good plants and mats. All right, here we go. Some people skip breakfast, the meal, and also this show. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Buy the WhatsApp by.co.nz

All right, who's ready to listen to producer Juliet talk about some gossip? The same lady who dreamed about Harry Styles canoodling her on Monday evening with 1D. But it was all in her imagination. Oh, I know. Juliet with Spy. It was a really sad time of my life.

We're all low point. So Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan, who were the lead actors and actresses in Fifty Shades of Grey, the amount of money they got paid for the first movie

has been revealed and it was, it was low compared to what most actors would get in the success of the film. Well, pretty big. I mean,

really successful books, obviously. Yeah, yeah. I mean, we love them, Jono. And, you know, the movie is... What was this? Just a slight little dig there. Who's that? Slight little... Last book I mean, really successful books, obviously. Yeah. I mean, you love them, Jono. And, you know, the movie's just... What was this? Just a slight little dig there?

Who's that? The last book I read, mate, was Roald Dahl, The Witches. That's a good book. Okay, that was a good book. You're like, I can never read another book as good as this. Right, books are done for me. Roald Dahl's nailed it. So, yeah, what did they get?

$250,000 each. It is a lot of money. It's a lot of money. It's a lot of money. It's a quarter of a million dollars, but it compared, I guess, because it's an international box office smash hit. And you hear about actors getting millions and millions for movies, right? Yeah, exactly.

So much did they get this for the second film. And they had to go pretty much... I know, I know. I mean, that's, you know? You'd think that they'd be paid even more than the big bucks because of that. I'm not actually sure. I think they got more in the second movie.

Was there a third movie, Jono? Would you know that? Why am I getting thrown under the bus for being a sex pest? You're the one who went to see it with your mother-in-law, Ben. Was it Joyce you took along? No, I didn't take it along. I think I did go see something awkward. You did see it with someone, like your dad or something?

I mean, my dad. Wow. I thought it was about Rosine Paints, did see someone, like your dad or something? Yeah. I mean, my dad. Wow. My grandfather's son, yeah. I thought it was about Rosine Paints, Fifty Shades of Grey, but it wasn't. It wasn't quite the home renovation that we were looking for. Exactly. And Mel C from the Spice Girls has said that they will very likely reunite again next year, do a reunion tour for their 25th anniversary.

Gosh, I haven't even been alive for 25 years. I didn't realise the Spice Girls were like that old. They just tried to rustle a reunion up last year, didn't they? And Posh Spice was like, oh, I'm far too good for you guys now. I don't need to do it. That's right, but they still went on that world tour. It's amazing now. My daughter, Sienna, 10 years old, she came home from school last week.

She's like, Dad, have you heard of the Spice Girls? I was like, yeah. So she's just discovering it for the first time She's like, Dad, have you heard of the Spice Girls? I was like, yeah. So she's just discovering it for the first time. Oh, my God, I love that. She's like, Spice Girls are great, you know, this song. It's like, yeah, I know that song. What about this song? I was like, yeah, they had a lot of hits and they were playing it on the radio a lot of

times. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know who they are. It's good that she can appreciate older music like that. Yeah, that was kind of cool. They were all into the Spice Girls. Yeah, yeah. I reckon, well, especially with TikTok, bloody, you know, bringing back dreams

by Fleetwood Mac. Lots of old, lots of old music. The Spice Girls are for this generation what like Led Zeppelin was for us. It's like classic,

classic music. The Spice middle-aged woman now you should probably refer to them as. True. Was there an article, Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters, he was saying

if he got to record one of his guilty pleasures, it would be a Spice Girls song. Yeah, yeah. It was this one called When Two Become One, which is kind of like a... This is Dave Grohl's favourite song. His guilty pleasure.

Which is very... Go, Beth! You can imagine this being done by the Foo Fighters? Yeah, exactly. Not quite as slow, but it'd be quite a cool, yeah. Imagine it getting a Foo Fighters twist on it, turning into a rock song. So, and then there was another story how Sporty Spice was like,

I was branded Sporty Spice, but I was the unsportiest of the group. Oh, really? She did no cardiovascular issues. She's like, I never did exercise. She just wore a tracksuit. She looks sporty, right? And that's the good thing about tracksuits. Yeah.

They give off the perception you've just been doing some exercise at the gym you were like that for a while you wore those skins, pants for a while

I did I've just been at the gym you just wear them all day long everyone just assumes you're a fit and healthy human being

that's a good play I reckon inside's erotic ladies and that is Spy for more you can go to thehits.co.nz.
