The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Thanks to Challenge, putting the service back into service stations. We had a fun day yesterday, didn't we Ben? We went to Bunnings and we, last year, I think it was October, September last year, September, October last year, we travelled around every Bunnings having a sausage at every Bunnings and going back there, a bit of PTSD, post-traumatic sausage disorder. Because we did it over a week, right? We went to every single Bunningsnings in the country from the top of the north to the bottom of the south. And as you say, you had a sausage. And some days, I think one day there was 20-something sausages. The next day we're backing it up.

And we were backed up. It was like returning to an ex-partner for an awkward reunion, wasn't it, going back there? But there was another sausage sizzle there. Love Soup, wonderful organization that takes leftover food from supermarkets and gives it to the homeless and the vulnerable in our community. They were there having a sausage sizzle. Yeah, it was lovely, wasn't it? Lovely.

They were birthday at Bunnings Silverdale as well, 10th birthday, so it was nice to go out and celebrate, you know. They always, they give, their merch game is tight. Bunnings merch game, they're running bloody. You name a piece of merch, they've got bunnings on it oh definitely yeah uh you know can holders aprons t-shirts bucket hats caps umbrellas yeah it's like they went to the merch person and was like we'll take it one of everything and put a bunnings on it but they give us a big trolley of stuff to give away and for some reason i don't know maybe it's this scamming environment we live in in 2023 people are very suspicious when you hand over something you're like here's an umbrella

and they're like what's what is attached to this what strings are attached yeah i know you're right everyone's a bit dubious my favorite moment was when you walked up to a to a lady and and you were like you went you had a hat you're like free hat and you went to put it on her head straight away and she was like she's doneuh-uh. She's like, don't you dare put that on my head. I've just had my

hair did. She's like, you put that on my head? 75 bucks is what she said. She owed me 75 bucks.

She had a beautiful blue rinse for it. It was looking very nice. It did look good. And it would have been a crime to put a hat on top of

that. But we were dressed up in Bunnings gear. You're handing out the stuff. Now I pin this on you because

you're like, we've got so much Bunnings merch from when we did the sausage tour. Let's wear our Bunnings hats and Bunnings t-shirts. It's like going on to a Warriors game. You wear your Warriors supporters clothes, mate. You go along there and you're fanned. This is your time to wear it. But what happens when you're wearing Bunnings merch out of Bunnings

is understandably, I understand it, people think you work there. Yeah. And we ended up in a position where a lady was coming past with her trolley, packed trolley, top and bottom shelf packed. She's like, can you give me a hand with this? Take this to the car. And we're happily obliged. We're part of the team now at Bunnings.

There's been a little bit of confusion here but we're... Here you go Ben, you've done a great job mate. I'm worried about these light bulbs smashing, we should put them somewhere safe. Yeah, yeah. I have business motel. Oh you do? You have a motel? Do you want to do an advert?

A conference? Conference? Yeah, a conference. You want a conference? Bernie, they meet 13 conference every year. Oh wow. Many times. Can I put on a conference?

Yes. What's your conference event? I don't know, we've got it. I'll book it and then we'll do it. I'm pretty sure you're going to do it. conference every year many times can i put on the conference then we push the trolley back to the trolley boat uh that's the service you get from us at bunnings yeah people are showing me receipts too because we're standing by the door on the way out like yeah just bought that stuff. You're like, oh, that's all good. And then you realise, oh, they think, yeah. Have you any further thoughts about what conference you want to hold at the conference centre there, Ben? No, I haven't. I just, I've booked it.

I'll work on that. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Because the love in the studio is divided at the moment, Ben. Now, the football. Spain are through from last night. Congratulations. Cracking game, that one. Three goals in the last 10 minutes.

Hola. Yeah. And Australia tonight, they're playing, aren't they? They're playing England. And, Ben, you don't know if you want to support Australia. You don't know if you have it inside you. I'm torn. I'm torn to support Australia. Because deep down, I do like Australia. Like, I do.

But at the same time, I'm like, it's that big brother thing for New Zealand. We always want to beat Australia. And now I'm like, well, it's just, you know, because they're doing so well and the whole country's behind it and it's awesome. But I'm kind of torn. I'm like, who do I support?

Now, we spoke to Diane at Bunnings yesterday. Have a listen. She has a solution for you. Diane? Yeah? You going to the football tonight? I am. Who are you cheering for? Come on, Sweden!

I thought you'd be going for England. Well, I will win. They're not playing tonight. Do you think they're going to take out the tournament, your home country? As long as we don't go on penalties. I hope the girls are better than the boy team, because they still tend to lose on penalties, boy team don't think but I think we'll win they'll definitely win to know go England come on England come on England oh yeah I think you know what cuz I find want everyone to support England, even though I'll do Sweden tonight just to help.

Do you know who I feel like I'm talking to? Paul McCartney's sister. You probably are. Don't I have a beard? Couldn't understand that last bit. But that's Diane. So she's saying just support England. But here's my thing.

I'm going to support Australia. It's our Antipodean duty to support the neighbours. But they wouldn't rub it in our faces. They'd be like, oh, we did so well in the tournament. That's what I'm worried about. Producer Taylor's from Australia. She's Sydney. And she's disgusted that you're not throwing your weight,

your 45-kg weight behind her country. I'm on the fence. Seriously, listen, that country, what that's done, what Australia has done for this country alone. Sent back all our criminals. Pavlova, Keiji Mai, me. So if you want to go about things that way, I'll walk out right now, mate.

I'll do it. Producer Joel, you're not going to Australia? I'm back in England. The Lionesses. It's L.A. Football's coming home. All right. I'll add that.

It's 4487. Who are you backing tonight? Can you bring your head around to supporting Australia? Put the Russell Crows and the Pavalovas aside. Support the neighbours. Yeah, well, I don't know if I can. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. One thing I've noticed over the years of having kids,

I mean, the older they get, the less sort of distracted they get. But kids' attention spans, they don't last particularly long, particularly when it comes to focusing. And I probably, I mean, I'm used to it. Jono, you're kind of, I put you in the same category sometimes. What, me with my attention span? Yeah, sometimes. I'm probably used to having conversations with someone.

Somebody who checks out. That's fine. That's just what happens. Sometimes you look at people when you're talking to them and they get lost on devices and you're like, Jesus, is that how rude I look when I check out? But I feel like the kids nowadays, nowadays they're getting a little bit older,

you go into more depth and stuff because they understand a lot more. And the other day we were driving in the car and they asked me a question. So they front-footed the story, going, how do you live in other countries? Like, can we go over and just live in any other country? And i can i can answer this question i could go through so i'd go the visa system yeah if you're born in a country how long you can holiday for but you know and i thought i was explaining it really well driving the car got to the end of what you know wouldn't have been that long maybe a good couple of minutes talking and then thought maybe this is where follow-up

questions are going to be and then one of my daughters you know just like at the end of it went i love rainbows they're so beautiful and got her phone out and took a photo of a rainbow in the sky as we were driving you lost the audience at what point did i lose the audience through that whole thing probably the point we started talking about immigration and visas yeah you're probably right i just wanted to know if we could live in Spain. Just say yes or no. You could get a 90-day holiday thing. Yeah, I probably went into a lot of detail. Is it the SD system in the US?

In the States, I went into the SD system, yeah. If you're born there, what if you go over, you're pregnant? They actually asked one question midway through. It was like, can you go somewhere when you're pregnant to have the baby? And I was like, oh, I don't know if that's, you know, like you could accidentally have the baby.

You're losing me now you're losing me you're really you're losing this audience don't lose two audiences the hits the Jono and Ben podcast in yesterday

it's moments where you realise New Zealand is too small the team of five million we need to double it you know get some more numbers

out there because it's just one big giant village at times isn't it it is yeah yeah that two degrees of separation thing, it's probably true. Producer Joel nearly hooked up with his cousin.

This is without a word of a lie. I did not nearly hook up with my cousin. I went to uni with a girl, and we talked for a long time, and only five years after we met, I realised that we're literally 10 pages apart in like a family book. 10 pages apart.

Third cousin or something. 10 pages apart. Thank God we didn't 10 pages apart. Third cousin or something. 10 pages apart. Thank God we didn't hook up. Was it on the cards? Was there, were there? Okay, I won't delve into you. No, please don't. Please don't talk to me anymore.

But you know, that's how small it is. That's why we had to legalize marrying your cousin there. We're like, oh, we have to turn a blind eye to that. It is legal, you're right. It is legal. Yeah, yeah. Because the country's too small. But anyway, yesterday, Ben, someone came up to us, you were there, and said, oh, I know

you from somewhere. And here's what happened. So, Mel, we met years ago. Yeah. Whereabouts? At the Browns Bay Tavern, or whatever it is. And Mel said there was a what? A bikini.

A bikini comp going on, yeah. Yeah, no, that would be me. Sounds like Joe. She didn't know mine. It was brilliant. He's still going He tries to get me along too He's like, they've been cancelled I'm like, I'm trying to bring them back

People are sick of cancelling It's time to bring back the wet t-shirt comps That would be awesome Mel wants it back Win a $50 bar tip Why not? So she, we knew each other from a bikini comp in a previous life. Now, full disclosure, when I first started in radio,

19 years old, I was working for The Rock, and my pivotal role at the bikini competition, Ben, was to escort the contestants safely on stage up and down the stairs. Health and safety, I imagine, was a big thing, particularly back then in the 70s or whenever this was. And not one of those contestants slipped over under my watch. Great. And slippery conditions on the stage too.

Very slippery, I imagine. For some reason they decided that they were too hot so started hosing them off. Perfectly good white t-shirts. But, you know, it's a dying art form, the old bikini component. Thank goodness. Thank goodness. Thank goodness. Hey, people were just there, they were just enthusiasts of the bikinis.

It didn't matter who was wearing them. Like fashion week for bourbon. New Zealand is too small, really, that's it. I mean, it is. As you said before, it is two degrees of separation. Yeah, so 0800 the hits. We want to try a little social experiment. We're going to try and get three people on,

and we'll get to know you, tell us a bit about yourself, your background, where you're from, your family, and then we'll play one song to see if we can connect all three people to three people listening. I reckon it's doable. I don't know about all three. At the moment, though, two degrees of separation in this country. Yesterday, some skeletons popped out of my closet, Ben, in front of you, which you enjoyed

too. Someone that I had a previous life with had a bikini competition back in the day. I mean, those weren't acceptable. Well, people were probably still complaining about them, but you couldn't hear them complaining. There's no social media as well. So what we want to do now, we want to prove how small New Zealand is with two degrees of hopeful separation. Yeah. Carol.

Okay, so what we're going to do is we're going to get three callers on. We're going to do a little bit of light investigation, then we're going to play a song and see if we can connect three people to the three callers. Carol. Yes, good morning. What's your surname, Kazza? Finn, F-I-N-N.

going to have some meetings when work starts. All right. Oh, gosh. We made a connection and lost a job this morning. The hits.

The Jono and Ben podcast. Jono's internet wormhole. I said it, and then that person said it as well, just doubling down on the information just to really hammer it home at 6.26. Ben, I got lost. Again, lost like me at a hair-growing tournament on the internet, and this is one of those articles where it's like 182 of the greatest live news fails in history. Oh, yeah.

182. That's a lot. I don't know why they ended up stopping at 182. Maybe the person was like, I'm done with this now. But I've just plucked out a few of the faves. Many of which you'll know. But they are some bolters. Now, these have all happened live on the news.

Now, this first one, I feel very sorry for this poor lady. She had a bit of a migraine. Serene Branson was the reporter's name. She's outside the Grammys, and she's reporting live back to the studio, and the migraine kicks in. I don't know if you actually can tell when the migraine kicks in, but have a listen.

Well, a very, very heavy, heavy rotation tonight. We had a very derisive bite. Let's go to Terry's English for a bit. They have the pet. Oh, it reminds me of that great bit of audio where our good mate, Andrew Mulligan, who does a great job on Sky Sport, Craig goes wild as well. He was doing something at the end of a game, but no one knew he had someone talking to him the whole time in his ear.

And it was a bit delayed too. He said, it was a great game for the break. It didn't quite make sense. It sounds like he was talking gibberish. The best part I love about that lady too is none of it you can understand whatsoever, but she's saying it with some confidence like the delivery is bang on next one greatest live news fails this is an absolute beauty two salty old journos one's in the studio one's on in the field talking to uh some people about an event that's taken place in their apartment block

and the reporters end up bickering have a listen thank you thank you all right it's back to you don't let her go away this that's what does she have a response to that is she still there so what do you want now well if I have to teach you how to be a reporter Ali I'll do that later oh why don't you do that later Jim but I think the lady expressed herself and you're not here you're there what is there any question you'd like me to ask her? I'll give you some lessons on how to be an editor because I was your boss once. Yeah, you were and are no longer.

How did that happen? Number seven. That's a beauty. I feel like that's a conversation you want to take offline. Yeah. Two grumpy old men going toe-to-toe on the breakfast news. This one you'll know. The lady crushing grapes

so she's live at a vineyard and they're doing the traditional crushing of the grapes in the bucket where you stomp them with your feet and she's up on like a stage. Yeah it's almost like the back of a truck but a very high truck. You're right

big stage crushing the grapes and have a listen to what happens. Oh! Oh! Oh! I can't breathe. Stop. Oh dear.

I think she's actually hurt. No, I think she is. She crushed the grapes and her face there. She fell face first into the ground. I think we played that at a TV show. We played that as what happened next to the moment. And then afterwards, you're like, oh, that poor lady. Poor lady.

And I'm sure she's done other great stuff in her career. I know. And this one brings us a lot of joy. Bill O'Reilly. He's kind of, I guess you would say, a Mike Hosking of America. Yeah. Right wing journalist. And he has his own show.

And they were taping. And clearly Bill had somewhere to be, and nothing brings me more joy than watching other humans who are beyond frustrated and things not going their way. He's just trying to read something off the autocue. That's tomorrow, and that is it for us today, and we will leave you with a... I can't do it. We'll do it live. Okay. We't do it. We'll do it live.

We'll do it live! F*** it. Do it live! I'll write it and we'll do it live! F*** thing sucks! There you go. He probably watches that back and goes, I maybe could have handled that a bit better.

More wound up than a New Zealand verse photo, that guy. And that is Jono's Internet Wormhole. Maybe could have handled that a bit better. More wound up than a New Zealand verse photo, that guy. And that is Jono's Internet Wormhole. Good morning, Megan. How are you? I'm good. How are you guys? You said you're knackered.

Knackered. This is my punishment for having a nine-month-old and a two-year-old. Although your partner, Andrew, has been doing some lovely things for you. I knew you were going to bring this up. I knew you were going to bring this up. I just don't like him steering through your curtains and fighting it out. You're putting it out there. What has Andrew done for you?

Yeah, no, John, I wouldn't know because you don't follow me on Instagram. Don't I? No. I'm sloppy, mate. I'm going to follow you now. I'm very sloppy on social media. I don't want to force it, you know. I don't want to.

You'll get to know all these things. I don't want to pity follow. A lovely picnic you guys did the other night. And a lovely, ran your bath with some candles and all sorts. I know. I came home yesterday and there was like a bath. And yeah, he'd put candles and a face mask. And he poured me some bubbles. Oh my gosh.

Do you know how many women message me and were like, this should be the law. Where can I find one of him? And I'm like, it was a one-time thing it's one of the ten tenors so there's nine others of them around there in the world jeez you're putting andrew you're putting the bloody acid on the rest of us mate putting us all to shame aren't you but lovely lovely thing it was nice it was nice we spoke to a lady who once she was trying to do something uh a little spicy for her partner yeah she like, I'll lie on the bed covered in chocolate and he can come home and, you know, eat the chocolate off me.

The problem was it was a summer's evening. And he got home and it had all melted. And he's like, have you defecated in the bed? It looked like things had been, yeah. Oh, no. I mean, it can go wrong. It can go wrong. I'm glad his gestures didn't

No it was all safe and sound So in between your bubble baths And your picnics in the lounge Have you got any time for watching TV? Funnily enough I do Only murders in the building Tim Kono's death has been ruled A homicide

And apparently one of you jerk offs Did it So this show is up to season number three, but season three has just been released, so if you're not up with the play, this is so good. This is Martin Short, Steve Martin, Selena Gomez, and then this season they've added Paul Rudd and Meryl Streep. Big line-up.

To the mix. Huge names. That must be costing a fortune. That's all I think of when I hear, like, you know, when you look at the Avengers, you're like, Jesus, must be. But it happens. Like, this is what series, would you say? Series 3?

3. Yeah, so it's probably happened now. They're like, it's going well. We're making money, you know? Plus, this is Disney+. It's Disney money. Yeah. And cash to burn.

But it's 99% on Rotten Tomatoes. It's won Emmys. It's funny. It's dark comedy. So it's based on, Rotten Tomatoes. It's won Emmys. It's funny. It's a dark comedy. So it's based on, you know how true crime thrillers and podcasts are huge. So these people listen to true crime podcasts. They are big on true crime.

And then one happens in their own building. And then they kind of try and find out what happened and it changes throughout the whole season. But in season two, end of season two, don't want to spoil anything, but the murder that happens is very close to home. So that's what we're seeing in season three now. So, yeah, if you're not up for the play,

you need to watch Only Murders in the Buildings. Really good. What was the true crime podcast we were listening to during lockdown? It was about a guy, and he had been accused of killing someone and he was from prison and the whole podcast you're not talking about cereal cereal love that yeah but that was a whole different bunch of them right cereal the first one there's lots of different seasons but the first season of cereal hasn't the guy been released yeah that was the one yeah yeah he was in it the whole time oh yeah he didn't do it wow the whole time

he's like hey guys i didn't whatever mate we can't hear you in prison but i love those people that actually campaign for good like kim kardashian does it too for people who have been incarcerated it's a lot of effort and correct yeah you don't get anything out of it i wouldn't know what that's like i can't imagine dedicating a huge part of my life to clearing someone's name. Joe Caram, former All Black, did it for David Bain. Yeah, for years. Selfish people don't know what that's like.

No radio announcer's going to do that. No, you'd be like, you're doing the same for me. And they'll be like, yeah. And then something would happen. You're like, oh, sorry, but I'm a bit busy. I'm a bit busy. Running a bubble bath for my wife tonight. I'll be like, don't lie.

I know you'd never do that. It's happened. He's got me. Yeah. Who would you, okay, Megan, you have to do a choice. Both Ben and me, we've been sentenced. Where is this going? We've been sentenced.

I thought I was running you bubble baths. You've got to take one of us to a bubble bath. Who are you bubble bathing with? Don't answer that. I'm going to go to HR. I regret that question. Both of us have been sentenced for crimes we didn't commit. Who are you spending your time for?

Neither of you because you probably did it. All right. Well, there we go. Especially after that weird bubble bath angle. Speaking of tournaments, tomorrow, big netball tournament in the prior household. There we go. Especially after that weird bubble bath angle. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Speaking of tournaments, tomorrow, big netball tournament in their prior household. Oh, really?

Yeah, Poppy's going along to a 10-year-old netball tournament, All Day Bonanza, and leading into the tournament, she wanted some intense training, so, you know, some drills and things to practice. Yeah. Now, I have, I don't scream netball when you look at me, Ben, do I? My head looks like one. I know you're about to say that.

Yeah. But yeah, I've been holding some pretty intense training camp leading into this. Nice. And I've read no books on netball. I've watched a couple of games in the past. I've done no study. So I'm on the fly. But you do get to the moment where you're like, dear am i taking this a little too seriously oh really yeah because then

last night she's like i'll just go out by myself she's been benched as a coach yeah i know all those fair game people are like you know just be supportive parents on the sideline and don't live vicariously through your children it's hard not to have you gone like the parents of serena and venus williams have you gone a bit too you know like king richard yeah my middle name's richard king dick yeah well so i need to play it because i'm going along tomorrow and i need to play it cool because it can be frustrating to watch you've experienced this yeah well you want to offer support the thing but you don't know the time it's like what the times i can offer you know not negative no never negative stuff, but can you offer some support? Just get the ball in!

Stuff like that. Do you do halftime talks or are you just staying on the sidelines? I really want, like every now and again, if you see something and you want to say something, but you're like, it's not your place to go, you know? Even if you can bring a water bottle up, some of you are like, it feels like you're kind of, it's the coaches.

There's a coach doing that sort of thing, right? So you feel like you're stepping on their toes. Yeah. Even though you really want to. Even though you really want to get there and go, hey, watch out for that centre there, you know. Everyone's just suppressing their feedback on the sidelines, aren't they?

But there we go. So I'll keep you up to date tomorrow of how it goes. Thank you. And if I get removed from the facility. Could happen. For coaching on the line.
