You can't say your boys, it's your boy. Welcome to the podcast, it's wonderful to have you listening. Yeah, really good. Big show today. And we say that all the time. You know, we love a big show. But today, it was a big show. You're just saying to me, just before we started the podcast, all the things was on the podcast.

Yeah, so there's a lot of them. Yeah, a lot of shows, I would just like more honesty from broadcasters. Be like, actually, today we had a bit of a shitter. Yeah, but today, not us though. Not us. Well, for us. I know there were some good moments and bad moments. Peter Andre. He was a shitter. Yeah, but today, not us though. Not us. Well, for us. I know there were some good moments and bad moments.

Peter Andre? He was a good moment. Yeah, I mean, he joined us on the show, which is pretty cool. He was a true gentleman, wasn't he, Peter Andre? He's aged well.

Oh, he looks so good. 25 years since that song that he's frolicking around in the water. Oh, he can still frolick around in the water and look good in jeans. He can frolick around in my water.

Yeah, exactly. I don't even know what that means. Oh, who cares? It's Peter Andre frolicking. As well as that, on the show today, oh, you said all the big things that I've forgotten now. Oh, no, I'll leave you.

No, you figure it out. I told you. My fantastic Rolling Stones bit. Is that on the podcast? Yeah, Ben Boyce managed to have a conversation inserting Rolling Stones songs. Producer Juliet, I must thank her for being my...

You're welcome. You're very welcome. Did a great job. Bit of live mixing. thank her for being my... You're welcome. You're very welcome. Did a great job. Bit of live mixing. It was fun. It was great, yeah. Does anyone else think this would have hit a lot better if it was the 1960s?

Why's that? The Rolling Stones stuff. Oh, right. Doing some bands. I'll wait until 2020. They had a shop out. They had a shop. Anyway.

To get some Rolling Stones gear out of the way. Some great stuff. Some Rolling Stones stuff as well. And do you know what else? We spoke to Benny. Yeah, that was great. International pop star. Benny was filming a music video.

We caught a mid-music video. Right in the middle of it. I don't know if she should have answered her phone to us. We might make the cut for the music video. Our phone conversation. Oh, yeah. No worries. Yeah, so that's all on the podcast.

Enjoy. Morning. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Now, we're playing the biggest 100 pop songs of all time, all day on the hits from now until around about 5 o'clock today. So make sure you tune in and count down your favourite songs with us. But we're trying to get Mysterious Girl from Peter Andre in the top 10. Yeah, that has been the show's mission this week.

And producer Humphrey, Ben Humphrey, B Humps, and his lovely producing humps have been working their beautiful humps off, haven't they, to get Peter Andre. Yeah. And we are now joined via the witchcraft of Zoom technology with surround sound, Peter Andre. Mate, that's the worst possible scenario for you. You're sounding fantastic, Peter. How are you, mate? I'm good, mate. You're looking good. Oh, thank you. You're sounding fantastic, Peter. How are you, mate?

I'm good, mate. You're looking good. Oh, thank you. It's been so long since we've seen each other. This is Ben over there as well. Sorry, we've only got one camera here in New Zealand. You know what? This is New Zealand's only camera we're using, Peter. Is that the budget?

You've got low budget. Very low, but we've got to actually wrap this up pretty soon because the news needs to borrow it shortly. Let's go, let's go. How's lockdown going for you guys over there? Is it all completely finished? You're out in the open again? You know what, we were just saying today, because my kids just went back to school today. I've got

four of them and all four went back to school. And then just as I was saying, oh, you know, things are starting to get back to normal and we've got gigs booked and all these sorts of things that we we had planned for this year got moved and then today there was an announcement saying that um that they're sort of tightening up again on lockdown and that some of the uh musical the music side of things might not even open so we're just like oh no I mean for your business too to have you know hundreds of people in one confined space is probably uh probably hard for the government to swallow

at the moment i imagine so it's not it's not even us you know like we're just one little part of this there's the lighting guys there's all the caterers there's people that that own the the venues i mean everyone is in the entertainment side is really suffering. But I'm a very lucky person because I've got the family and everyone's here and I'm always smiling. It doesn't matter what's happening. You mentioned you sent the kids back to school today, which would have been after months, I imagine. You must have been quite nervous about that, Peter.

It was the greatest moment of my life. It's been over six months. By the end of it, I was like, I can't. I just, no, I loved having them. You're obliged to say that you loved having them. There's only so much coffee I can have in one day. Yeah, homeschooling, not forever. Just blink twice if you want us to send help.

Now, Peter Andre, it's really good to talk to you. We're having a Pop 100 countdown. We're trying to Pop 100 countdown. We're trying to get your song to number one. It's been number one in New Zealand before. It's been number one. We were a big fan of Mysterious Girl back in the day. It got to number one.

So what do you want to say to all your New Zealand fans? It makes me sad to know that I'm 25 years older. However, I'm very grateful it was once number one in New Zealand and I never think ever forget my time I came to New Zealand and we toured and it was the best absolutely one of the best tours ever for us so we'd love to do it again one day maybe to celebrate the 50th anniversary of it in 25 years You'd be like, whoa. Instead of, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, it'd be more like cough, cough, cough. Now, I did have an issue. I had an issue with the video, Peter, which, yeah, a very seductive video.

Oh, you look great. There's no issues there. You're in a tropical paradise. You're in the beach, but you're in the water in your jeans. Full jeans in the water. No water. This is something that's come back to haunt me, right?

Because I obviously forgot about leg day when I was training back then. And even to this day, it's a common joke in my house. Every time we go to the beach, someone's saying, are you going to wear your jeans? I'm like, whatever. So, yeah, I sort of build a rod for my own back. But I don't know what that, I thought I was cool. You know, even the rapper, Bubba Rags, he was wearing jeans in the water. I noticed both of you. But then I was thinking, what that was. I thought I was cool. You know, even the rapper Bubba Rags,

he was wearing jeans in the water. I noticed both of you. But then I was thinking, like, what if afterwards you had to catch the bus home and you would be soaking wet? You're right. It was not something I ever want to repeat. Although, I tell you what, I'd love to go back and find that location. So apparently where we filmed the video...

It was Thailand, wasn't it? Yeah. It was in Thailand. And apparently 10 years later they filmed the video. It was Thailand, wasn't it? Yeah. It was in Thailand. And apparently, 10 years later, they filmed the movie The Beach There. So apparently that is the exact location where we filmed it. So I'd love to go back.

I've never been back since. I think now there's just rubbish floating all over the water. Probably wouldn't be as majestic as when you were there. You're not going to find Leo on that beach. No. Now we're trying to get Peter Andre to number 10

in the Pop 100. His song Mysterious Girl, the big banger of a hit. And we had a Zoom with Peter Andre himself super early this morning. And we asked him about rumours that he heard about himself because there's rumours he had fake pecs and fake abs. And we asked him what the craziest rumour he'd ever heard about himself was.

The craziest rumour I ever heard about myself was that I was dead. Now let me just explain to you how that feels, right? Imagine waking up one day and people at your phone, I had messages because I had meningitis. This was, I don't know, 10, 12 years ago. And I had meningitis. And apparently the front page of The Sun was that I had died

from this brain bug. And I had all these texts on my phone and going, please, you know, please answer the call or whatever. Tell me it's not true. And I had no idea. And then I rang someone and they said, oh, we thought you were dead. I'm like, okay, how do I come to terms with that? Well, I've woken up thinking, right, that means the doctors know I'm finished.

I'm carking it. And they've already told everyone. Right, yeah. That was a pretty tough one to, it was a tough, then I thought I was a ghost because then I thought, I don't even know what's going on. People's first reaction when they hear someone's dead is to text them.

So text back. I know, I know, right? So thanks, guys, yeah. Now you're still all over the tabloids and your articles every second day. I mean, do you get sick of, this must have been for like 20, 30 years now, right? You know what? I'm the luckiest guy alive.

I say that to my wife every day. She – yeah, I say I'm lucky because I've got her, obviously, but that's not what I meant. Oh, damn, he's a good husband. He's a good husband. Well played. I was proper chuck up. I know.

If she was in here – no, what it is is I'm a lucky guy because I never thought, I thought after all these years, you know, for sure nothing would still be going. But it's nice, you know, even a conversation like this is great that you guys even remember us, you know, so it's amazing. Well, listen, we have been working hard to get you inside the top ten. It was a deal we made. It was a deal we made. It was a deal we made. And Peter Andre, we can guarantee you're inside the top 10, baby.

Yeah, baby. That's what I'm talking about. That's right. The top 10. That's what I'm talking about. The hits in New Zealand. If this means anything to you. It means a lot to us.

Was this like the best pop songs of one month or what? Of all time. Of all time. One month in the 90s. If I picked the top 10 songs of all time pop songs, I would not have put one of mine in. That's me. What would be your top three big bangers? Yeah, what ones?

Okay. I was a massive MJ fan as a kid, right? Because he was in the 80s. He was the king, wasn't he, of pop? So I always would have picked a Jackson song. I don't know. Who else is in the top 10? And I'll tell you if I'm...

Queen, Queen. Definitely Queen. Anyone in Queen's Jacks would have been in the top 10 for me. Prince, definitely. Now, Peter Andre, my wife, Amanda, massive fan, particularly back in the day it's early in New Zealand right now

she doesn't know that we're talking to you I just wanted to call her now and just surprise her with having you on the phone can we do that? I'd love that but you hurt me

We go to sleep every night with a big poster of you next to our bed. Sometimes she gets him to dress up like you. I wear jeans in the pool just for you, just to look like you. Love that. Okay. Let's call Amanda. Amanda, my wife. She should be asleep right now.

Well, if it wasn't enough, I could go to the gutter and say she was a fan. If after all this you have a divorce party, mate, I'll sing it, mate. That'd be great. You're a champ, mate. Hey, thank you very much for your time your time Peter It's good to meet you You too man That was fun I'm so sorry about Amanda

No that was funny That was perfect She won't believe it When I explain it to her Brilliant I love that Guys thank you so much For your time alright

You too mate It was lovely to meet you See you mate You too guys Bye Bye More painful Than your alarm clock

It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Now, here's a story that made me just go. So this young man in Thailand, 18 years old, he was sitting on the bathroom, you know, doing his thing just by himself. And then he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his nether region, shall we say. And he looked down to discover a four-foot python had crawled through the drain and latched onto his dangly man bit. Onto his trouser snake? Yeah, it's latched onto his...

Oh my God. Obviously he screamed in pain, stood up, the snake was still attached. Still attached. He had to slam the toilet lid down on the snake. And just keep shutting it down while it's still attached. The snake let go and crawled back up the toilet drainpipe, and then he ran out. Poor guy.

He ran out, and his parents are there, and he's bleeding, and his parents have his pants down. They had to call emergency services. Fortunately, they've stitched it up, and it's all fine. It's all working fine, and they found the snake. Oh, my God, I'm looking at the photo. It's like a crime scene in their bathroom. Oh no, the poor guy. This is so horrible. Mind you, to the snake

it probably looks like another snake. Python might have just been saying hello. A friendly little nibble hello. You'd be traumatised every time you go to the bathroom now, right? In all honesty, I've been worried because I've been banging on about this rampant rat problem

that's currently happening to New Zealand. We're not on top of it. We're too focused on COVID. The rats are taking over anyway. We'll look back on this piece of audio and go, he had something there, but no one was listening to him. I've been worried a rat's going to do the same to me, crawl up their drain pipe.

Like a rabbit. Yeah. Because a rat has gone you before, biting. Yeah, well, Heston bitten bitten towards me and, you know. Have you injured yourself in the bathroom? No, I don't know if I have, actually. No, the only thing I did was like our door lock gets jammed sometimes and sometimes you get locked in the bathroom.

But you have to just pull it as hard as you can. Yeah. And I end up with a face load of door once. So that's the only thing that's happened to me in the bathroom. Juju? No, but I know someone who, he was doing a bit of manscaping. Right. And he had locked the bathroom door,

but his kids have a habit of unlocking the bathroom door when he's in there to get them. Well, kids want to know something urgently. They just need to know, like, you know, do I need to wear shoes? And you're like, well, there's something in the middle of it. You know, they just burst open and just need to, they need to tell you there and then.

Yeah, where, when did the dinosaurs die? You're like, mate. they just burst open and they need to tell you there and there. Yeah, when did the dinosaurs die? You're like, mate. I know. Yeah, and his son burst open the door and he got such a fright

that he nicked himself while he was doing that. So, yeah, yeah, what a story. So, yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 0800 The Hits, it feels like we're leading towards this. It does, it does. That was it, 0800 The Hits. It feels like we're leading towards this. It does, it does.

It does. 0800 The Hits. How have you injured yourself in the bathroom? 4487 on the text. If you've had a snake come up while you've been living overseas, that would be tremendous. Yeah, I don't know if that's going to happen, but hey, who knows? 4487 on the text.

0800 The Hits. Love to hear from you this morning. We might find something for you because it's Friday. We'll go to Tauranga and welcome Mike to New Zealand's breakfast. How are you, Mike? Yeah, good. How are you, guys? Yeah, it's bloody good to have you on. What happened to you in the bathroom?

Well, basically, me and my wife were saving water and having a shower. Well, there's a water shortage at the moment, so good on you. Good on you. Yes, and things got a little bit out of hand, and I put my back through the back of the shower wall. It was those old, it was those old fly glue like showers. I know,

they're like the white bumpy ones. Yeah, mate, and I sort of got stuck in there, which is quite funny. I think it might have been to do with the purchase. Oh, that's such a good call.

Thank you very much, mate. Appreciate that. On the line, we're going to send you out a double pass at Reading Cinema. Such a good call. It's nice hearing you guys on the air. Oh, thank you. Thank you for listening, mate. We appreciate you listening, buddy. Lucy's in Wellington.

Welcome to the show, Luce. How are you? Good. How are you guys? Yeah, good. Mike stuck his butt in the wall. Saving water, though. What a hero. Traumatic shower injury. What are you guys? Yeah, good. Mike stuck his butt in the wall. Saving water, though. What a hero.

Traumatic shower injury. What happened to you? So I was dating this boy for a wee bit, and I decided to stay overnight. And then I was getting ready for work in the morning, and I had a shower. And he has one of the showers that are like a bath as well as a shower. Oh, yeah. Love him, know him. Yeah.

Okay, yeah. And as I was getting in, I slipped, know him. Okay, yeah. And as I was getting in, I slipped and I dislocated my knee and I just couldn't move and I couldn't get it back so I had to get him to come in and help me and it was just very awkward and yeah, I never

saw him again. And it would be unusual for you to be clothed in that situation as well so I mean that just adds to the shame of it too, doesn't it? You're like, oh God God, didn't you see me in my birthday suit? Yep, with a weird knee. And you didn't go back there again? No, no. It just kind of got awkward after that.

She hobbled away from that. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, because I imagine outside you'd be like, there'd be weird noises coming from the bath. You'd be like, what's going on in there? And then you'd be like, oh, God. You're just like, put a towel on me and let me crawl out of here. All the line, we're going to flick you off

at Double Pass at Reading Cinemas as well. You have a great weekend. You too. Oh, Susan's here. She's from Taupo. Welcome, Suze. How are you? Good stuff.

Oh, great. So you already killed that one, didn't you? Yeah, no idea. I thought, I knew I went one too far. I had a bad feeling about Susan. I was like, Susan won't be there, but you'll go to her anyway because you're a dumb bull. Not a morning person.

Sadly, neither of these two. It's Jono and Ben on the heads. Last night, I went out for dinner with my wife, Amanda, and went to a... How was your wife, Amanda? She's good. Where did you take her to? We just went to a Thai place, Thai restaurant.

Oh, do you like a Thai? Yeah. Yeah, it was great. Don't tell me you got the classic white person. just went to a Thai place, Thai restaurant. Oh, do you like a Thai? Yeah. Yeah, it was great. Don't tell me you got the classic white person, I'll have a paired Thai, thanks. No, we didn't actually get a paired Thai. Yeah, where'd you go? One of the Penang curry. It was like, yeah.

Oh, lovely, yeah. And this particular curry, because Amanda's, yeah, she's, I'm not, I don't like, I can do spice okay, but not super spicy. But she, yeah, she likes a little spice in the curry department. And you like spice in the bedroom. Yeah, spice things up. Yeah, I do.

I know you. I was waiting for that comment from Jono. Thank you, Juliet. She's only been working with us three months. You know, you're going out there. You just, you know, it was kind of busy, but everyone's obviously separated at the moment. But it was quite a busy restaurant.

And we were sitting there having our dinner. I'm just like, you know, it's nice to go away. You know, just be quiet. Keep your head down. Have a nice night. Just like, you know, it's nice to go away. You know, just be quiet. Keep your head down. Have a nice night. Just reconnect, you know, and not make a scene. You know, radio, we spend all week trying to make a scene. It's quite nice to go out and not make a scene.

You want to rekindle the relationship. I don't want to make a scene. I'm not in making a scene mode. But anyway, I had some of the curry that Amanda ordered. It was a little spicy and I got a little bit of, I think it must have been like a chilli, like caught in my throat and a little bit of a, and just in that split second, I was like,

oh my God, I'm going to die. That's amazing. Oh, here he is. Don't want to make a scene, but the classic radio guy tries to make a scene. And I went, and then my head just started panicking. And so I went and slammed my hands down on the table like this. And then obviously there's cutlery, there's plates,

they all clatter. As I stood up, bowled up, I was like, oh my God, everyone's looking at me, there's plates, they all clatter. As I stood up, bowled up, I had to go, oh my God, everyone's looking at me at the restaurant like, what is this guy doing? But then honestly, it just went like that

and it went straight down my throat, whatever it was that was there. And I sort of slowly sat back down. Was it fun looking at you? Yeah. It was like a minute second as I banged the table, cutlery and everything.

I stood up, everyone looked, and then I went, no I'm all good and I sat back down everyone's like what was that did no one offer up a Heimlich well I didn't even get to that stage

oh I've always dreamed of doing a Heimlich on a stranger just go up behind just like I'm not choking just go dry humping someone

someone's got a cough and you just go yeah so that was the thing. I made such a scene. I thought this was just a genius play to get out of pain for dinner.

Be like, call St. John's. Get me out of here. I've got to go outside, guys. I think that would work, wouldn't it? Just pretend you're dying. And they were like,

wow, what happened to that guy? He recovered quickly in the St. John's ambulance. Like starting your day without your morning coffee. It's Jono and Ben on my heads. Ben Voice Productions Limited proudly presents

Jono Fryer's Worst Moments of the Week. Just a nice little humbler for me heading into the weekend. All the lowlights that I've provided for this broadcast. Many other shows

as we say every week like to look at the best bits. Not us. Ben likes to publicly shame me. Look at the worst bits from Jono in this week. There's only a couple so you're getting better

So well done to you There's five but you've run out of time to play all five Don't try and make me feel bad I heard the conversation you had with Juliet You're like which two should we play because we're running a bit late for news So this could go on for five minutes We could do the rest of the day's broadcast Talking about your worst moments of the week

But right now we want to start with Monday And Jono forgot what the show was called. If you want to vote for your favourite, what could you not do without? What is tomato sauce or slice of heaven? Both extremely iconic. These are the best of the best. Head along to the hits. What's the name of the show?

It's breakfast. It's breakfast. It's breakfast. And vote. You know the most embarrassing thing is we're surrounded by 390 television screens which actually have the name of the show blazing in front of our eyes right now. So I apologise for that. And finally in Jono's worst moments of the week,

we were talking about Simon who's the red wiggle. He's in a relationship with the lady who is Dorothy the dinosaur. She's inside the Dorothy the dinosaur costume. I think they're married. It's not a real dinosaur. No. Oh, my childhood dreams are shattered. Shock horror.

And they've got a baby on the way, which is very exciting. We had a conversation about that. What I found interesting, I think you said this once, Ben, is you know how they do the finger guns, the wiggles? That's so they don't have to have their arms around children. In photos. In photos. Well, obviously Simon knew what to do with his hands with the dinosaur.

You're right, you're right. He was finger gunning up a storm. Okay, let's not say that. Sometimes you need to just stop talking. Alright, next on the show. There we go. But I like how you like stop talking but then I'll play it again a second time. Just to shame him again a second time.

Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime. but then I'll play it again a second time. Yeah, true. Just to shame them again a second time. Want more Jono and Ben? You can catch up with the boys anytime. Just search Jono and Ben on Facebook. The Kiwi Referendum.

Now, a couple of days ago when Cheese Rolls was first in the competition, we rang someone from the Crib Cafe down south where Cheese Rolls are very famous. Now, apparently these are the best Cheese Rolls in Southland. We spoke to Kasna, so we're going to call her back now. Now, if you haven't had a cheese roll before, there are obviously some white bread, some cheese inside. It's a Southland delicacy. I understand there's the onion dip

is in there as well, rolled up. And that's all I know. Alright, well let's call them and tell them that cheese rolls have got through to the next round. Good morning, the Club Cafe News speaking. Oh, hi, is Kazna there, please? No, sorry, she's not. Can I take a message?

Oh my lord. Well, it's got to be the cheese rolls. Oh, you wanted to say Richie. Oh, Richie's up

for a challenge. There he is. It's tough. As much as I love Richie, I love cheese rolls more. So that was Kasna talking about whether cheese rolls

Fridays of Fridays are already exciting. I know, we've made it a little exciting. Too much excitement. My excitement levels have reached peak. Oh well, we're excited about this as well. We're excited about so many things. It's what radio is, it's just excitable for how we are. It's exciting and just over laughing at things as well. I'm not like that. When I sit at home and watch the TV, I'm like

oh, that's funny. I don't actually laugh. When I'm on the radio, I'm like, good morning. You know, like, what is it about it? Anyway, that's not why we called. Because it would be a miserable show if we didn't laugh. Oh, that's not. Most of the time I just be saying that. Oh, that's not funny. But today we're

doing our referendum. We're at quarterfinals stages. We're giving you a chance to vote on something, New Zealand. We want to know the most iconic Kiwi things of all time. Today's battle, as we just said before, it's a big one. Cheese rolls. White bread. Essential in the making of a cheese roll. Versus slice of heaven.

I feel like this is probably one of the toughest ones to call. If it goes the way of Slice of Heaven, the South Island could wage a civil war upon the North and we'll eventually end up like North and South Korea. This is what can happen. This is how serious this is. Yeah, the South Island love their cheese rolls, don't they? They do.

And if you want to vote for either of those two things, 4487. We just spoke to Invercargill about the cheese rolls, and of course they were backing the cheese rolls against Slice of Heaven, but we wanted to know the rest of New Zealand how much they do actually love Slice of Heaven. Now, at the beginning of the song,

it's got this iconic moment. I think we need to figure out a way to somehow weave that into our national anthem. I could, but you're right. I don't know how we do it. Just start it with that and then get into it, maybe? Yeah. God of Nations. So we wanted to play a game where we phone a shop

and just start playing that song down, but then we'll cut it short, and the game is they have to finish the last few bars of da-da-da-da-da. Oh, so are we going to say anything to them? No. They're just going to answer the phone and hear Dave Dobbin and Herbs. I mean, there's a lot they need to assume and figure out. Okay, this will be quite confusing for them.

Yeah, that's right. Let's see if this works. All right, let's make a call. Hello, welcome to What's Up with Posties. Misty speaking. Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello?

How does this sound? It's like so even. Thanks. Slice of Heaven. What? What am I doing? Is it Slice of Heaven? No, I don't know. It's good, Slice of Heaven. Slice of Heaven.

Yay! It's Jono and Ben calling from the Hits Radio Station We wanted to know if people could finish off the song And you finished off the song Groovy Doovy Groovy Doovy I haven't heard that since the 80s And that was a wild time When I was saying groovy Alright, we're having a competition today to see which is better,

which is more iconic for New Zealand. We've got Slice of Heaven. Slice of Heaven taking on Cheese Rolls from Southland. Oh, Slice of Heaven all the way. Oh, let's do one more then. Here we go. Yay! So good. Get your votes in.

Cheese Rolls or Slice of Heaven. 4487. What is the most iconic? Start your day the wrong way. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Guess what's in the pocket with Old El Paso Tortilla Pockets and win your share of 50,000 pesos. Now, if you love Mexican food, you now can get your hands on the Old El Paso Tortilla Pockets and win your share of 50,000 pesos. Now, if you love Mexican food, you now can get your hands on the Old El Paso Tortilla Pockets.

They're tortillas with a bottom, so all your favourite fillings stay inside. No mess. Had some last night. They're really good. Yeah, you were just raving about them before. Yeah. During the Bruno Mars song,

you said they're a lot easier to control than some other. Well, yeah, they say less mess. They're a mess-free Mexican, and they're right. Hey, this week we've been giving away 10,000 pesos a day in a jackpot if no one gets the answer. Yesterday, oh, it was a bonanza. It was jalapenos,

and holy hell-a-pino, you've won 30,000 Mexican pesos! Oh my God, yes! I'm so excited, my workmates are excited, I work at a physio, my patients are excited. Oh, you guys are excited. I work at a physio. My patients are excited. Oh, you guys are legends. I love El Del Paso.

I am going to name my children Old El Paso. Old El and Pas. So it was amazing. So she won 30,000 pesos. Today we've got 10,000 Mexican pesos to give away, which Producer Humphreys has told us equates to $700 New Zealand. Yeah, it's good. Every morning I see Producer Humphrey

on the International Exchange Rate website just checking the peso to NZD. So it's got up, guys. It's got up since the start of the week. No one's been across the Mexican New Zealand dollar translation at the Isma. What am I saying? I'm trying to say words that I thought I'd pull it back.

I'll let you be. He's like, no, you shouldn't have let me be. You'll pull it back. Save me. Save me? I'm trying to say words that I thought I'd pull it back. You shouldn't have let me be. Save me when I'm doing that again. Now Giorno, you've got something iconic and Mexican in your pocket that you need to guess. Yeah, now somehow I don't believe the audience truly believes I have these things in my pocket, Ben Boyce.

But my pocket's been working pretty hard this week. The clues. This is a traditional Mexican dish consisting of a small tortilla that is either a soft or hard shell filled with various ingredients. Jeez, we've checked out of the Clues. This is the Clue. Okay, what is it? I'm only going to give one clue.

Okay. What do you think it is? Who should we go to? We've got, I'm going to go to Emma in Hamilton. Welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast, Emma. Hi, how are you going? Hola. Hola.

You heard the clue. Yeah, there's a few different things it could be. Do you want me to give you one more? I'd love one more. If this doesn't give it away, I don't know what does. It dates back to the 18th century where Mexican miners invented it. Okay, that doesn't help. They were actually silver miners. Silver miners, yeah. If you don't know what does. It dates back to the 18th century where Mexican miners invented it. Okay, that doesn't help. They were actually silver miners.

Silver miners, yeah. If you don't get that now. A common Mexican street food dish, particularly popular on Tuesday around the world. Tacos. There you go. Oh, Ben Boyce feeding it to you like a taco in your mouth. Well done.

Well, we have to give it, otherwise what can we do from the accounts point of view? This is our last day. We can't double it over till Monday. Oh, we can't give them any extra credit on Monday, Ben. You're right. We had to wrap it up today.

So, Emma, you basically could have just phoned up and we said, well done. You won some money. I love it. We wrapped it up like an old El Paso tortilla pocket. No mess.

No mess. It's not dragging on till Monday. There's no mess. We've wrapped it up nicely and you also get yourself a packet of Old El Paso tortilla pockets as well as $700. Fantastic. Thank you so much. Hey, Emma, you've just got to promise me one thing.

Yeah. You go and have a great weekend. I'll do that. You too. Wake up full of shame. Wake up with these guys. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Spy. Launch into mess-free Mexican with the new Old El Paso tortilla pockets. They tried to pay her hush money,

but she refused to take it because of her journalistic integrity. Now here's Juliette with what Art and Matilda ate for lunch yesterday at Spy Entertainment News. I love your intros. They're so good. So Dr. Phil, he is, you may know,

is the American talk show host. He often has people on his show to sort of resolve big issues. I always find him really good, Dr. Phil. Don't you? When you're watching me, you're like, oh, that guy knows what he's talking about. He's sensible, isn't he? Yeah.

Is he an actual doctor? I think he must be. He must? Yes, yes. He's got... Oh, you're Dr. Dre, I don't think it's actually... Dr. Dre's really put my questions... I was going to say it was a stupid question, but you're right.

The credentials of doctors in America. Yeah, he's got 25 years of experience in psychology and sociology, so that probably gives him his doctor title. Yeah, Dr. Dre's got 25 years of experience in rapology, so it works out, I see. Works wonderfully. But he is getting the nickname Daddy online quite a lot. Everyone's like Daddy Dr. Phil and everything.

But I always find it's the tone you say it in. It's like Daddy Dr. Phil. He's like the nation's dad. Yeah. It doesn't have to be like Daddy. Because I say that all the time with my Netflix account. The kids have set up my name as Daddy, which is fine because the kids call me Dad, Daddy. But I always get emails from Netflix going,

hey, Daddy, some videos, some movies you might like, Bad Moms 2, things like that. I'm like, oh, it always sounds a bit dodgy when Netflix are emailing me and calling me Daddy. But you're like, it's all in the way you read it. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, the country calls Ashley Bloomfield sometimes Daddy Ashley Bloomfield.

Yeah, true. But he's a bit weirded out by the fact that people are calling him Daddy. You have to stop commenting Daddy on all of my posts. I ain't your Daddy. I hate to break it to you, but I ain't your Daddy. And your real Daddy's probably getting his feelings hurt. I appreciate the support. It's a little weird, but I do appreciate the support.

But he's saying it in a way you have to stop calling me daddy. Daddy. Hey, daddy. Daddy, hello. Anyway, Dr. Phil, what a great guy. Yes, what a great guy. He got his big breakthrough, Oprah Winfrey, didn't he? I think so, yeah.

He was like doing segments on her program. Yeah, I think so. And Ed Sheeran, his very first demo album that he made when he was 13 years old has sold at an auction for just under $100,000. And it was the reason why it's kind of only recently become available. Ed Sheeran thought he had kind of got rid of that first album because he hated it. As you would do. Imagine going back to our first thing.

You're like, no, no, no, no, no, no. Ben actually has my audio from my first radio show. I'm like, get out, little Johnny Pryor here. Oh, my God. On my first radio show. Johnny Pryor. I'm like, get out, it's little Johnny Pryor here. Oh my God. On a community radio station. You're like, oh, it was such bad quality

that over the years it's warped and sped up. It was from a cassette tape. Yeah, it sounds sped up. Oh my goodness. I literally sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks.

I really want to play that. That'll be tomorrow's spy, okay? She's coming out of the week here just for that. A spy special.. A special. A spy special.

A spy special. A Saturday. That's how committed you are to the spy. Juliet and Daddy Prior. It was exclusive. Yeah, and they're to spy thanks to old El Paso and you can launch into some mess-free Mexican with their new tortilla pocket. Low in calories and low in laughs.

It's Jono and Ben on the hips. We like to play a game from time to time on the show though, Jono, where we see how many bits of jargon or terms we can insert into a fine conversation.

Yeah, we've done it before with political jargon. We did it before with rugby jargon for the North vs South game last weekend and today we thought it appropriate

that we do it with pop star names. So you're going to make me call someone. I call a cafe and you're going to hold up some signs. They've got things on them. What have you got?

You've got like One Direction. I'll hold this in front of him. So you need to work in like Ed Sheeran into the conversation. You need to work in Sia, Lorde. Mumford and Sons. Oh God, this is going to be tough. Okay. So you need to just maybe book a table at a cafe.

Okay, we'll play. Should we play a bell every time I try and get one right? Well, that would be a lovely formatic decision. Let's do that. Let's give a call. I don't know if I'll get any right, but I'll we play a bell every time I try and get one right? Well, that would be a lovely, formatic decision. Let's do that. Let's give a call. I don't know if I'll get any right, but I'll give it a go. Hello, Sweet Vanilla Kitchen. Hannah speaking.

Oh, hi, Hannah. How's it going? Good, thank you. And you? Guess what? I'll be heading in one direction down to your cafe. Yes? Yep.

Yeah, I sure will. I was thinking of heading down in your cafe. Yes? Yep. Yeah, I sure will. I was thinking of heading down in the weekend. The weekend? Yeah. What day? Saturday or Sunday? I was just thinking about that. Maybe Saturday might be good.

I'm going to bring a few people with me. My friend Mumford and sons, his sons. Okay, sorry. It's so loud in here. I can barely hear. It won't be a second. I'll get to a bit of a quieter area. It's all good. Sorry, yeah.

Okay, I'll just get through. It won't be a second. Okay, so on Saturday. Yeah, I think it's Saturday. It's the weekend. Bringing down Mumford and Sons, my friends and friends, a few of us. Yes, and so how many are you looking at? Oh, a few of us.

Do you guys, oh, question, do you do a eggs Benny? Yes, we do. Oh, good. That's good to know. A few other questions. So when you say a few of us, you mean? A few of us, yeah. Well, enough that if we have a meal, we might share it around.

You know what? Can we share it? So share it around? Yeah, that's okay to share the meal around between the friends, right? Yeah. Yeah. Good. Thank Lord for that.

Praise the Lord. So did you want to make a booking? I'm thinking about it, yeah. Oh, coffee. Coffee size. Do you have like small, medium, large, grande, that sort of thing? We just have regular or large.

Okay, so kind of like a grande. I don't really know what those are. Sorry, I don't drink coffee, so I don't really go to coffee places. So grande is like those huge ones. Yeah, yeah. Not that big. Not that big, but small.

Oh, that's okay. I'm going to bring down, actually a few more people might come. A few more mates. 21 Pilots, friends of mine, might come down as well. Okay, cool. Yeah. So how many numbers are you looking at?

That's quite a few with Mumford & Sons and 21 Pilots. That's probably close to 30. 30, okay. That's quite a lot. Well, we won't be able to do that on Saturday. Okay, fair enough. Because we're already booked out. That's okay. Maybe I'll, we won't be able to do that on Saturday. Okay, fair enough. Because we're already booked out. That's okay.

Maybe I'll see you another time. Okay, sure thing. Hang on. Just in time for one more. You won't be... Oh, no, I can't do that one, Jono. It's Jono and Ben calling for the Hits radio station. Okay.

I thought it was a bit of a joke. Yeah, Jono's making me try and insert as many pop star names into the conversation as possible. Okay, cool. All right, got you. To be honest, I'm not actually. He's just called you off his own bat on his own. I've just walked in now. What's he doing? Don't put it on me. You're holding up signs saying Mumford and Sons and... No, I wasn't. He was. This is unusual that he was... I'm sorry he was inconveniencing you like that. No, that's fine. I wasn't holding up signs.

I don't know what he's talking about. Yes, you were. You were holding up signs saying the weekend Mumford and Sons. Sorry, what was your name? My name's Hannah.

Yeah, listen, we've spoken to him about this before. Don't do it. Wasting people's times, Hannah. Hannah, hold the line. I want to send you out a prize, all right?

Because you're being such a good sport. Okay, thank you. Like starting your day with panda eyes. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. There used to be a song on the radio, an ad on the radio, Julie, I don't know if you remember. It was drive to the conditions if they change,

reduce your speed. Oh, my goodness. Yeah, I always just get those. It's like, don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me. Drive to the conditions when they change, reduce your speed. Don't you? Okay. So there's a bit of road safety in there as well.

They could have done that. They could have inserted those in there. Very sexually driven road safety commercial. We are counting down the biggest and the best 100 pop songs all day. And someone who's bound to feature is New Zealand's biggest pop artist right now and possibly in the world. It's Benny. Doing so well. So proud of Benny.

And she joins us on the phone right now. How's it going, Benny? Hi. Hi, how's it going? Hi, guys. I'm going good. How are you? Good.

What are you doing right now, Benny? I am currently out in Tuturangi shooting something. Oh shooting something? Some animals? You're going hunting? Maybe. No filming filming she's an animal lover. Yeah. You caught me in the middle of a hunt. No actually speaking of animals Benny you're a big fan of snails and your new song is about a snail. Indeed it is. You wrote that during lockdown, I understand. So was that just, how did that come about, writing a song about a snail?

I'm out of lockdown. But it was my lockdown-inspired song, yeah. Do you know I had a, my son was like, I put him to bed one night. It was like a Thursday night or something. He's like, oh, I need to, it was like 9.30,

he's like, I need to find some snails. I was like, what do you mean you need to find snails? He's like, for a school project tomorrow. So I had to go out snail hunting in the middle of the night. Oh my gosh. That's when you find them. Yeah, I know, but I couldn't find them. When you don't want to find them, they're there,

but when you want to find them, they don't. That is true. It's got to have been raining. You know, there's just something about the night. Cute and kind of helpful. Not in a rush. They're taking things slow. They're in their own time, aren't they?

Now, Benny, we've got in the hits our top Pop 100 countdown, which you obviously feature in many times. But do you have favourite pop songs or favourite pop artists that you would go off the top of your head? You'd go, oh, I'd want to put that in my top one. Oh, you know what's weird? Like, I make pop music, but I don't really listen to pop music. Right.

Yeah. What do you listen to? Niles Barkley. I listen to a bunch of, like, James Blake. Oh, yeah. But, I mean, no, yeah. Not, like, the biggest pop listener. I suppose for you, if you listen to pop music,

it's like listening to work, isn't it? Exactly. Yeah. Hear yourself every 20 minutes. Yeah, you've got to separate it. Okay, your ultimate collaboration, Benny, who's it going to be with? Dead or alive?

We can bring them. Technology's advanced so much, we can bring these people back from the dead. Oh, my gosh. Oh, Prince. Oh, Prince, yeah. That could be pretty cool. I got to see him. I saw him in concert in Sydney once. Really?

Oh my God. Purple Rain went on for about nine hours. I can imagine. It was a really good show though and I'm stoked I got to see him. Now, if there's any questions here that I need to ask, when's your merch getting updated on your website? Because every week I have to go check your website for my kids

and the t-shirts are all sold out. I know. I'm sorry. Very shortly. I'm currently in the process. Listen, I don't think Benny's

in charge of merch, Ben. I know. I think you can go talk to someone else. Oh, I'm asking Benny. I'm going straight to Benny. Every week we go on there and I'm like,

oh, it's still sold out. Okay, we'll work on that. It's not like you go, hey, Beyonce, I tried to order a singlet from your website. It didn't have my size. Can you sort it out? Yeah.

We're almost there. Oh, good. Oh, good. Okay, well, I'll get some T-shirts with their back in. Yay. Thank you. Listen, Benny, can we get you to just tag on to the end of this? I'll use this in some future thing where you're like, this is Benny.

I'm enjoying the Pop 100 countdown, even if you're not. Sure. Hey, this is Benny, I'm enjoying the Pop 100 countdown, even if you're not. Sure. Hey, this is Benny, and this is the Pop 100 countdown. Yeah, and she's enjoying it. Oh, yeah. I'll say that bit. Do you want me to say I'm enjoying it? No, no, I've said it for you.

Don't worry, I've made them think you're enjoying it. Okay. Lovely to talk with you, Benny. We sort of catch up like a cousin once every few months yeah indeed you doing alright though everything all good

you good yeah everything is good oh that's good nothing you need us to do for you not at this moment but I might I might give you a call okay alright

we'll give you a call back about the merch too thank you so much you guys take care see you mate what more Jono and Ben you can catch up with the boys anytime. Just search Jono and Ben on Instagram.

Scrolling through your feed. Yeah, this is a collection of stories plagiarised from the New Zealand Herald, Ben Boyce. Scrolling through your feed. Well, big news today. Legendary rock band, The Rolling Stones. Heard of them? Yeah, I bet you heard of them, right?

Yeah, up and coming little pop-up band. They've opened their first store in a very flash area in downtown London. Their very first store. It's all full of merchandise from The Rolling Stones. And when it comes to business, Jono, it's just a little start me up. Just a little thing to get out of the way. A little bit of pre-prepared comedy there for you.

Now, Jono, I want to tell you more about the Rolling Stones store. Well, you've told me everything. It's a merch store in London. Have you got another song? Yeah, it's open late night Thursdays and Fridays. So when I'm shopping on those days, time is on my side. I don't know if you need to go into the details of the opening hours. Oh, well, no.

I've been researching quite a lot about the Rolling Stones store. And colour scheme-wise, they were looking at painting in the shop's colour scheme. Let me guess, did they paint it black? Oh, damn it. But inside the store, there's heaps of Rolling Stones T-shirts. You've got Rolling Stones vinyl. You've got artwork. All with a money-back guarantee, Jono.

They promise 100% satisfaction. Now, what I'm concerned about is the Rolling Stones have quite the back catalogue. And how long this bit goes on for? You know, sometimes you're there and they might have the T-shirt in your size that you want. But as they say, you can't always get what you want. And that is my free prepared comedy on the Rolex Stone Store. Thank you, Producer Juliet. We worked hard on that.

Yes, we did. They were like looking at each other beforehand. They're like, have you got the thing? You know what order to play them in? Can we have shambles? Juliet's like, I don't know. He's like, well, we'll go with it anyway. On the way for you, the A to Z.

Oh, that's it. Where's the other stories? Oh, mate, that's all I saw. He's like, what more do you need? We worked all morning on that. What more? Are you not entertained? I was calling Juliet at three o'clock this morning,

emailing her through songs. Oh, jeez. We apologise in advance. It's Jono and Ben on the Aats. The A to Z of New Zealand. It's where we call a different town or city in New Zealand. We call one a day. We do it alphabetically. And today is Gisborne's turn.

But yesterday on the show, we ran Gisborne. We were talking about jandals for something else. And we thought we'd get the expert opinion on jandals. And we ran Gisborne. First up, Chloe speaking. Chloe, firstly, shakabra, and secondly, it's Jono and Ben calling from the Hits radio station. Hey, how are ya?

And thirdly, shakabra again. Shakabra to you too. Shakabra. So that was a wonderful conversation. Now, Ben, you had actually sourced that number. Yeah, not realising it was Gisborne at the time. No, and then when I was like, oh, we've got to call Gisborne for the A to Z, I just thought of Gisborne, it's a big surf town,

why don't we call a surf school? So then I sourced a number. And then this happened. Have a listen. Yeah. Blitz Surf Shop, Chloe speaking. Chloe. Hanging 10? Is it you guys again?

Oh, it's the same lady. Oh, you're right. Oh, no. Shuckabrow. Shuckabrow. Shuckabrow's here too. I'm not wearing jandals again. We did this yesterday.

Oh, shock and shock. One a day. Today we're calling Gisborne. Yes. And we wanted to find out about Gisborne. And Jono's like, oh, we'll call, yeah, Gisborne's big on surf. We'll call a surf shop. Not realising that we phoned you yesterday. You did phone us yesterday. We didn't even know you were in Gisborne. What are the chances? This is crazy.

Oh, my goodness. Have we won something now? And now you're like, will these people stop harassing me? No, it's all right. At least you're happy. Tell us about Gisborne now, if you could. Where do I start? No, it's all right. At least you're happy. Tell us about Gisborne now, if you could. Where do I start? Yeah, there's definitely surfing.

Yeah, a lot of good surfing. Not that great, though. No, it's not always the best surf. Oh, okay. There's better places for surf. Oh, okay. But you live in Gisborne. No, I'm kidding.

I'm kidding. I'm just trying to ward you off. Now, I see. I see, yeah. Yeah, you don't want the crowds turning up. I'm just trying to ward you off. Now, I see. Yeah, you don't want the crowds turning up. There's some cool walks and stuff around. Oh, Rhythm and Vines comes every... Oh, Rhythm, yeah. Yeah, all the millennials come chewing their jaws off, don't they?

It's a massive time. I imagine in town it's really busy over that weekend. And Gizzy, Gizzy, Gizzy. Gizzy Hard. Gizzy Hard. Is that a chant or am I just making that up? The Gizzy, Gizzy. Gizzy hard. Gizzy hard. And then you did, is that a chant or am I just making that up? The gizzy, gizzy, gizzy or the gizzy hard? Yeah, no, gizzy, gizzy, gizzy.

Oh, like, oi, oi, oi, is that what you're trying to do? Is that a chant? I mean, you could make that chant up. Let's see, why not? You could turn it into a thing, I guess. Tell you what, we'll call you tomorrow and then we'll just go gizzy, gizzy. No, no, we'll leave you alone. Oh, we'll see.

Third time's a charm, eh? This has been a whirlwind relationship we've had with you. Well, it's been lovely to meet you guys. Oh, yeah. Listen, we promise we will never call you again. Oh, we'll see. We'll see.

But you hold the line, we'll send you out something, though, for wasting your time again. Cool, thanks, guys. Love your work. See ya. Making poor life decisions every morning. It's Jono and Ben on the Hits.

My parents are actually coming up from Christchurch today. And my dad joined. I don't know. As soon as you hit retirement, you just want to do jobs for some reason. Do you find that? Keeps them busy. Yeah. I told you, before he's out there mowing, he mows his berm in Christchurch.

But then he starts mowing the neighbour's berm. And then the next neighbour's next neighbours so he does the whole street's berms I think he's slowly on a mission to start mowing the whole South Island that's pretty awesome

the only reason he stops mowing is Andy's like come on it's dark he's still out there he always likes you to drop him off at Bunnings

yeah once I picked him up from the airport and before he even came to my house he's like drop me over by Bunnings

and then come and pick me up later like he's a teenager I'm dropping from the airport, and before he even came to my house, he's like, oh, just drop me over by Bunnings, and then come and pick me up later. Like he's a teenager, I'm dropping at a party, and I have to pick up. He's in Christchurch. He's got plenty of Bunnings. He hadn't even unloaded his suitcases. I had to go home and drop him off at a suitcase and then pick him up three hours later.

Bunnings is his happy place, but he's always like, make sure you don't do any jobs around the house. Stockpile them for me. Oh, that's great. So he's coming up with his Dutch home, which is not my mother, by the way. It's a garden utensil bin. My mother was not born in the Netherlands.

Okay, I wondered that. Because you do have a relationship with Annie, don't you? I do, wonderful. You would know she's not Dutch. I don't call her that, though. But when I retire, I just want to wallow in my own filth. No, you want to keep busy. You're like getting up and at them.

I suppose it keeps you going, doesn't it? I reckon. Yeah. I reckon. You know, like you think, oh, we'll just sit there and play Lord and Bowls with a beer in hand and stuff. And that would be fun from time to time, but you couldn't do that all day, every day. Are you a jobs guy? Yeah, but not like handyman.

I mean, he's been banging on for three weeks that he moved some rocks or something. Yeah, two cubic metres of gravel, guys. Can I tell you about that? Literally the only job he's done in the last ten years. Yeah, I like doing jobs around the house. I like piling up, pile papers together and put them in cupboards and things like that.

That's the sort of stuff I do. You do piling? Yeah, piling. Is that all you do? I put matters washing away, put it all in the wrong places because I don't know what's a going out singlet versus an at home singlet. I don't know these things but I like putting them away. Do you fold it

or you just put them away? Yeah, I fold them but I put them all in the wrong spots. But yeah, my heart's in the right place. Yeah, that's amazing.

Yeah, but the singlet's hard. Wake up and smell them. Actually, no, please don't smell them. That's odd. It's Jono and Ben on the hits. Spy. Launch into mess-free Mexican with the

new Old El Paso tortilla pocket. It's a bulletin far more important than anything else going on in the world, producer Juliet, with all of the celebrity gossip. Thank you very much. So Jacinda Ardern, you may have seen yesterday, she posted a photo on Instagram with a caption, back in the van and

on our way to Taupo, breakfast courtesy of mum at Takes a Village. A photo of Vogel's toast with peanut butter on top. And she had it on like a sort of Tupperware lid or a plastic sort of lid. You know, obviously, they're one of those takeaway things. She's just taking it in the car. Mum's chucked on some toast. She's got a takeaway, well, coffee from home with a Keep Safe cup.

It's a very sort of Kiwi on-the-go breakfast. And Reba Wilson commented, you're a legend. And everyone's like, oh, my God, Reba Wilson commented on Jacinda Ardern's part. Oh, my God. She's an actor. She's not from here. She knows who Jacinda is. Oh, my God.

It's also relatable, too, from Jacinda. I like it. Why is her mum making her breakfast? She's just staying there. She's staying in appearance. She's been there more as well, mate is her mum making her breakfast? She's been staying there. She's staying at her parents. She's been at Morrinsville, mate. She's keeping it real. She's keeping it real.

The geotag is Morrinsville, so she's obviously there. She's back in the vill. Yeah, she's been there all week. She's been staying at home, you know, just doing some stuff, but also staying and connecting with the family again. So it's a good day. Yeah, I like it. Probably sleeping on the couch, sleeping bag with a pillow.

You know, that sort of thing, yeah. Do you go home much? No, no, I need to. I need to. couch, sleeping bag with a pillow. You know, that sort of thing, yeah. Do you go home much? No, no, I need to. I need to. Ben, you don't go home much either. We're shocking at keeping in touch with our parents. Aw. Yeah.

Your mum's, every time we call your mum, you only ever call her on the radio. Radio bits. And she's like, can you just call me not for a gag? Can you just call me just because I'm your mum? And I'm like, it makes me sad inside when Jenny says that to Ben. You're like, shut up, give us a good out, Jenny. You know how this works.

I'll call you when I want to call you. I've got the answer. And it'll mostly be for a punchline. For radio ratings. And Caitlyn Jenner, she has revealed that her family did not tell her that Keeping Up With The Kardashians was ending and that she found out on the news like everybody else. Well, I suppose they went obliged to. She's not part of the family now. Hasn't been on that for three years.

So she hasn't been on the series for... No. No. No. I don't think so either. She tried to do a bit of a spin-off and it didn't quite work out for her. That's right. Yeah. Going to Mr. Kardashians. Yesterday we recapped some of our favourite moments, in particular what Kylie enjoyed about 2016 BC before COVID. And I feel like this year is really about, like,

the year of just realising stuff, and everyone around me, we're all just, like, realising things. 2016, looking good. Wouldn't you just dream to go back to 2016 and realise stuff and things? Oh, yeah. From 2020? Well, if you actually did realise what, you know, was happening later, yeah, it would be nice to know, wouldn't it?

Yeah, I've been guilty of using them as a comedic foil, the Kardashians. Right. But in all honesty, they've done well for themselves. Oh, heck yeah. And they really do bear all on that show. They've created an empire. Oh, yeah. And the stuff they share. Yeah, full've done well for themselves. Oh, heck yeah. And they really do bear all on that show. They've created an empire. Oh, yeah. And the stuff they share.

Yeah, full credit to the Kardashians. They're famous for what? But that's the thing. They've done so well in just becoming, you know, like doing it and still working with it. And it's like, well, if you could get millions of dollars from doing that, wouldn't you do that? Why didn't you go do it then?

For sure. And whenever headlines come out about the Kardashians or something it's like the devil works hard but Kris Jenner works harder. Because she just

apparently just is the mastermind behind it all and has basically got the family to where they are. And everyone is secretly kind of

interested and wants to click on it. Oh no, no. Guilty pleasure. I love the first comment under news articles it always starts with who?

Yeah, even with the Kardashians. You're like, who? It's the goddamn most famous family in the world. Who? Yeah. I know. I understand if it's an article on us.

It's like, who? We've had many who's. Yeah. And that is five things to Aldo Paso who have new tortilla pockets so you can launch into some mess-free Mexican food. Want more Jono and Ben? You can wake up with the boys' weekdays from sex on The Hits and via the iHeartRadio app.

Jono and Ben on The Hits Breakfast. Friends of Skinny.
