The Hits with the Jono and Ben podcast. Cheers to Dilma, making the world a better tea. After another weekend. Another weekend. Back here Monday morning, just ran into the wonderful Andrew Dickens. He actually used to host the show when this was Classic Hits years ago. Oh yeah, Andrew and Jackie and Justin. Big show, big show.

We could only dream of their numbers. Exactly. Just reworks on gold now. And I said Good morning mate And he went Ugh Just that's all

Just the noise And I was like You couldn't say Five o'clock on a Monday morning Better than a Ugh That could be With Juergen

It was about you Or Monday morning Probably Because he also did it On Thursday and Friday as well Last night was the final Of the end of the

FIFA Women's World Cup What a fantastic tournament It's been Has it I saw the end of the FIFA Women's World Cup. What a fantastic tournament it's been. Has it? I saw the bloody head of FIFA gave Butterbean $50,000 for BBM. Yeah. That's amazing for his charity. That's a fantastic donation. David Lattelli, who does amazing work in New Zealand, here, yeah, $50,000.

He flew him over to Australia to give him $50,000 as well, which was awesome. He flew him to Australia to give him. Yeah.000 as well, which was awesome. He flew him to Australia to give him? Yeah. Why didn't he go and just wire the money? I think he invited him along to the football as well. Oh, wow. So I think he got to be part of the, yeah. I mean, he could have just said, wire the money, or he could have gone.

I'm ASP00, just fire it over, mate. We could probably save the whole. But then it's also a good promotion to be there for what Butterbean does. If they'd wired the money through, we wouldn't be talking about it right now, would we? Right, Ben. Let's not worry about how the money got transferred. Let's just say it was a wonderful gesture from FIFA.

Spain won last night. Everyone kept saying, football coming home. That's what they say about England. Unfortunately, it's not coming home. Spain won 1-0. And Spain, really, really fantastic tournament for them. After some turmoil behind the scenes we sent them to Palmerston North

absolute turmoil also their 15 players a year ago basically quit the team, walked out, there was some rift with the coach apparently you were saying he was quite controlling checking shopping bags all sorts of stuff, they didn't like that and they also didn't like

the treatment between, the disparity between the men's and the women's team and stuff over there in Spain. But in the end, they persisted with the coach. I think there was a bit of apologies made from some people. Not everyone from the 15 came back into the side. So really, you'd think, what a... So he went to the World Cup with arguably a second tier team? Yeah, arguably, yeah, in a lot of ways.

And they won last night, 1-0. And it was, yeah, they deserved to win. I watched a lot of that game last night and they played really well. Jesus, what time did you get to bed? Oh, I was watching, yeah, well, I watched it from 10 and probably, yeah. Were you a one o'clocker last night? Oh, no, it was probably about 11.30 when I kind of dozed off to sleep as well. One of my favourite moments was when the England goalie, Mary Earps, who's amazing,

she saved a penalty and you could definitely tell she was telling everyone to go away, but swearing-wise. She was like, yeah. Oh, yeah,

she wasn't mic'd up. Yeah, but it was definitely clear what she was saying, yeah. Yeah, well, it's been a wonderful month or two, hasn't it? It's been awesome.

Fantastic tournament. Bring it back. Let's do it again. Start again. Start from the beginning. Oh, it'd be nice to. Everyone's into it now. We know the players now. They've. Bring it back. Let's do it again. Start again. Start from the beginning. I'd be nice to. Everyone's into it now. We know the players now. Let's start it all over again.

And for the final time, let's do this. Out now, Squad Goals. Jono and Dan's unofficial compilation album of the FIFA Women's World Cup. You gotta be a football tournament 32 team. Featuring a medley of mildly amusing 5 second football themed parody songs

Even the ones you barely remember Ferns baby ferns Football inferno Don't get offside with your teammates Score a copy today Last night we had the football on I can't remember the whole game Oh we scored a goal.

It takes balls to play football and to put your credit card details into our shady website. So do it now. And all that I can't see is just another penalty. Squad Goals even features songs for after the game. Shall we go hit the showers? Plus, if you buy squad goals today, we'll chuck in a bonus album of charismatic South American commentators

screaming the word goal at the top of their lungs. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Goal! If you're goal-orientated, then you'll get a kick out of Jono and Ben's squad goals. Out now, nowhere. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Warriors as well, good signs.

Six in a row they've won recently, which is pretty incredible. Looks like they'll get a top four spot, another great win on the weekend. So does that mean we get some sort of home final game of some description? All going well. There's still two more rounds to go in the competition. But, yeah, hopefully another home game this Friday night. We were working on Friday night. We were emceeing something.

Oh yeah, we were doing it for Spark. It was one we love doing stuff for Spark. And then we did the House of the Year on Saturday night. Back-to-back doubleheader emcee gigs. It's funny because the same sort of people turn up at the same gigs. We keep following this wonderful saxophonist round oh and the security guard was the same security guard we're on the circuit the mc circuit as well now the warriors game was on at the same time as we were doing the the gig on a friday night and i

thought i would come out and say on stage no one tell me the score but then i thought no new zealand everyone's going to tell me the score so i shut up i didn't say anything about it didn't even let on that i was a Warriors fan and afterwards I was going to watch it at home. Yeah, it's a hard one to shelter yourself from nowadays given the social media and everyone's got access to the score. And you should have just put yourself in a giant cone of silence. We were in a room.

They kept us in a room. It was about 32 degrees temperature in that room. It was very sleepy Friday night conditions, should have stayed in there I'll stay off my phone, I won't check the score and then I can go home afterwards and watch it and then a lady came up to me

out of nowhere she just came up to me and she said did you know, first thing she said was did you know I've been working for Spark for two months and i'm here and i didn't know that i didn't why would you but it was good to know and then i was like no and then she said straight off the bat and did you know the warriors had a great win tonight and then ran a lot of the score i was like how did we get from you working as spark

for two months to the warriors having a win how did we like both things i didn't know one of them i really didn't want to know. Yeah. And I was like, oh, well, yeah. I was like, oh, anyway, now I know the score. Does it, like, as someone who tries to avoid, you know, learning the score, does it ruin the game for you? Well, a little bit.

I went home and watched the highlights. I enjoyed watching the highlights. And in some ways it's actually quite good. Because you're like, ah, whatever happens, I know. I know. It's going to be a good feeling as well which was fine

but I was just like how does that happen out of nowhere didn't even know I was a Warriors fan just went from did you know to did you know

so I didn't know either of those and a huge quota of up the wards over the weekend I'm noticing yeah it's really starting

to gather some momentum isn't it even with one of the speeches in the MC things didn't even thank his wife just just said, up the wires. And everyone was like, great, best speech of the night, mate. Best speech of the night.

Tearjerker. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. Pretty incredible, wasn't it, Spain winning it? We watched it on Sky Sport, but someone was lucky enough to go all the way over there. Yes, and through just relentless bullying and calling back, we have managed to wake up New Zealand Herald sports reporter and football journalist, Bonnie Jansen. Oh, g'day guys.

How are we feeling? How happy are you to be talking to us right now? Oh, look, I'm really happy. It is early for me, but that's fine. But I'm actually just so sad the tournament's over. It's kind of weird to wake up this morning knowing there's no more games left. So what are your plans now? Do you retire from work? Yeah, I'm done.

I'm done. I've got nothing else to look forward to for another four years. It was an incredible, incredible tournament. So many great games, so many great goals. And Spain, pretty much, well, I wouldn't say out of nowhere, but a year ago they were in turmoil. You know, 15 players didn't want to play for them. They got a few back.

The coach was under fire, but they managed to take it out. Yeah, pretty crazy scene from Spain. And, wow, they were just such a good team last night and, frankly, outplayed England. They were just, you know, walked all over them. And as you say, the fact that they were missing 12 players due to, you know, a dislike against the coach and the federation and they still go on to win a World Cup is pretty insane.

They've just got such a massive pool of talented players and good on them. That is insane. But, you know, how stink do the other teams feel going, they just put a second-tier team in and they've blown up this tournament. Now, what was it like to actually be in the stadium? Describe it in three words.

Surreal. And it was, I don't know, again, just insane. And I kind of, yeah, just felt very grateful to be there and didn't really want it to end. And that, I mean, you know, Spain deserved to win, but I kind of wanted England to equalise, so the game would go on a little bit longer. Just so you know, you went 24 words there.

You went quite a lot. It did seem like, watching on the telly, that there was a lot more English fans in the crowd. Yeah, there were quite a few. That was the most interesting thing, that it was very, very loud, very deafening. I've never been in a stadium before like that in my life. It was pretty cool. But what was interesting is when Jorge Vilda, the Spanish coach, came on the screen, the whole crowd, Spanish fans as well,

were all booing, which was pretty insane. I mean, there's clearly a massive dislike for this guy and the Spanish fans last night were cheering for their team, for the players. They clearly wanted them to take it out. Jorge's like, get me off the big screen, mate. Get me off. Don't put me out there.

He kind of loved it. He loved the attention, which is kind of weird. I'm not sure I'm a huge fan of the guy, but whatever. I love attention as well, but I don't like to be booed by 80,000 people on a big screen. What's next for the football Ferns, mate? They've got a camp in September, I

believe, and yeah, I'm really excited for them. You know, we were talking last night about some of our highlights of the tournament, and you can't go past that 1-0 win over Norway, and it showed that the Ferns really can get up for a game

and with the right mindset and the right support behind them, you know, they have a big opportunity to grow in this game and so I hope Jekyll and Cove gets a new mix of young girls in and, you know, some of

our best players at this World Cup were younger players like malia steinmetz and jackie hand so i hope that um yeah she continues to give those kind of players an opportunity and and uh they go well at the olympics yeah olympics are paris that's the next big uh tournament uh that's happening next year bonnie jansen we'll let you go back to sleep this has been a bad dream bon Yeah it never happens alright Thanks guys On Friday night Had a bit of an awkward interaction

Which I think you witnessed And we were in a room We were working doing an MC thing For Spark and we were in a room with some of the other People who were working on the awards ceremony People we didn't know And they looked quite busy on computers and things and i started trying to banter with them too and i was like then halfway

through i was like these poor people are trying to work yeah leave them alone yeah everyone went around the room shook hands as like that you you done that then you sat back down and then 10 minutes later you decided to go what do you do what's your job what are you i was like oh he's really grilling these people here and they looked very busy they were busy that's why i'd already tried to banter with them earlier and i was like i'll just step back you came in later and then you're like oh mate what do you do what do you do they're very busy they're running an event now i and i must apologize to to another guy called john who was running the event and we went in for a handshake okay he said apologies my hands are a little greasy i've just been eating chips and i in my head was like well i need to make him feel less self-conscious about his greasy hands

yeah i said oh mate you don't even want to know where these hands have been in the room and you never you know when you say something and you haven't thought about it which is 90% of what comes out of my mouth and the room and the room goes ugh a collective ugh

strangers I'd never met everyone's like where's his hands you're like oh you don't want to know you don't want to know and then you can tell he went from thinking

that he had the dirtiest hands to suddenly going oh oh he was eating chips as you say so he was like do I keep eating the chips From thinking that he had the dirtiest hands to suddenly going, oh, oh. He was eating chips, as you say. So he was like, do I keep eating the chips or do I need to sanitize the crap out of these hands? Yeah.

Like I said, it was just an attempt to try and make him feel a little less anxious about his greasy hands. And in doing so, I managed to outgross the greasiness. And you know where these hands have been, Ben. Pieces of places we won't even talk about it. Can't talk about it at 8.32 in the morning. We're not on Breakfast Radio. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Now, I've had a bit of a check in history with the WhatsApp group or whatever group it is when kids start playing their sports teams and stuff.

And as a parent, you seem to – someone creates a group, which is quite handy. You know, what time's training, what time's games, all those sorts of things. And someone's sick and all that. In the past, a couple of years ago, we had a netball WhatsApp group for one of my daughters. And I got a bit confused where I sent a link. Well, we talked to these ladies. They were selling some adult toys. Remember that?

During lockdown. Two neighbours who had bonded together in a thriving adult toy business. And I put a little link in the Netball team app going, we should talk to these ladies and sent that around to everyone, thinking that was the radio group chat. Then later I was like, oh, dear God, I've sent that to the network group so yeah because then you sent you messaged us and you're like hey Sienna's going to be late for training we're like what this makes no sense to us yeah so what was the reaction to that as well because you don't

know the people you're not friends with these people no I know that's the thing I think there was there was a couple of weird emojis that were her Her? Question mark? Why would we do that? Until I went and then had to delete the message later on. But not quite as bad as that one over the weekend. But autocorrect. Why is that a thing? Like, you're pretty sure you type in the right word, and then it decides that's not the word you want.

And then it's almost impossible to change it to the word you want, because it keeps passive-aggressively arguing with you, trying to change it to the word you want. That's right, yeah. But I fired off another one because one of my daughters got netball on Monday, it's Monday night, and I said what time do we have netball this Monday? And for some reason, what time do we have netball this man boobs?

So I came up as well. And I didn't realise that until I set that off as well. Again, another back from someone maybe it's because you've you've used man booth so many times in the past it's like oh yep it'll be another it's the ai and the algorithms i don't get it i don't get how monday monday's all gets got to man surely the phones are at a stage where they're like he doesn't mean mean man boobs? Yeah. Why is it favouring man boobs over a Monday? Over a Monday.

Monday I would have used way more times than man boobs. Maybe you've got it on prank mode or something. That'd be quite funny if your phone's on prank mode. That's what actually Ben calls me. So maybe he's like, old man boobs is late for work again. So maybe that's why it defaulted. I think you're right. That's why I'm using it.

The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. work again so maybe that's why it defaulted i think you're right that's why i'm using it the hits the jonathan ben podcast our uh we put our names and we put our votes behind boys to men uh and the song i'll make love to you yes it was a time 90s r&b they were incredibly randy weren't they r&b back in the day it was a very horny period. So good, so good. And we even spoke to one of Boyz II Men. We tracked them down, Nathan Morris from Boyz II Men. And we were like, hey, we want your song to go all the way. And we even sung to them. That's how much we wanted to prove that we wanted them to win. And here's what happened when we sung to them.

Do you mind if we perform I'll Make Love to You? To you. Okay. That sounded like a confident yes. to you to you and we can't sing but this is how much we want I make love to you to get to number one okay let's see what you got okay I can tell Nathan's not feeling too good right now okay okay three two I'll make love to you Like you won't Okay, alright, thank you Thank you Hang on, Simon Cowell

Was that it? Yeah, that's the best part I didn't even get to tell you that I wanted to hold you tight Baby, all through the night No, I'd rather you not hold me tight There you go So that was a little bit of a I don't know if we I'd rather you not want me to hate you. There you go. So that was a little bit of a, I don't know if we,

what was the impression we left on him? Well, yeah, I don't think, definitely not that we're talented singers. That's for sure. But I think he was appreciative that we were backing his song, just the fact that he didn't like our singing. Fair enough. And also we were appreciative that we still had his cell phone number. So we thought, because they'd made it through round one. Oh, mate, loved you.

So we called Nathan over the weekend and said, mate, you're in. You're still in the tournament into round two. Man, I mean, thank you very much for sending all the songs and the music that's been done since we put that song out. So that's big for us. That's big for you. Would you like us to sing it to you again to celebrate?

Yeah, we've been working on it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You've got to take your word for us. That's big for you. Would you like us to sing it to you again to celebrate? Yeah, we've been working on it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Gotta take your word for it. Yeah, I'm good. Yeah. Because I emailed you a demo. Did you get the email with the demo? Nah, it might have went in my

junk folder. Ah, yeah. Well, you will clear out the junk, have a look at the spam. Yeah, I gotta go check it out. Okay, make sure the other guys hear it as well. Ah, they might kick me out of the group, have a look at the spam. Yeah, I've got to go check it out. Okay, make sure the other guys hear it as well. They might kick me out of the group, so I may just keep this one to myself. Okay, all right. Nathan, lovely to chat with you, mate. Promise this is the last time we'll call you,

and good luck for the rest of the Best Song Ever competition. Thank you, man. Appreciate it. That's Nathan. The moderator has ended this call. I should have edited that, but I thought it sounded cool. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. From people who have severely injured themselves playing social sports.

Some fantastic feedback that's washed in. And 0800 The Hits, have you suffered social sports injury? Producer Joel, you're off to play indoor netball for the company. The final, the final tonight. It's got a big final for social sport tonight. And how many finals have you won? Oh, we're about 0 from 10, I think, for the company. The final. The final tonight. It's got its big final for social sport tonight. And how many finals have you won? Oh, we're about 0 from 10, I think, at the moment. To be fair, they have a final every few months.

But yeah, we've lost. You've made 10 finals. Yeah, lost them all. Don't worry. It's coming home, mate. It's coming home. It's coming home. Fingers crossed.

Before England played. And that's what I'm saying before you play. Netball seems to be such a popular one for injuries. But then I looked on the ACC website. I thought, what is the amount of social netball-related claims per year? Just over 20,000, which is a few. Oh, yeah. Rugby's leading it, just over 50,000.

Then football, 40,000. Rugby league last, under 10,000 injuries. Oh, really? Yeah. I remember someone from our company. It's a wonderful story. It was an NZME office down the line. They were playing the opposition radio company in Social Netball.

Do you remember this? And then someone from the other company, a young guy, would have been late 20s, 30s, bowled over a lady from our company who was in her 60s. And she was on the ground. And he's like, and then, didn't help her up or anything this is how competitive it was he goes, you stay down there like you're ratings. Wow.

No love lost and that's the way it should happen. Competitive radio netball but 0800 the hits. Anna actually, speaking of social netball, you had an injury, you set the scene for us Anna. So basically it was in the goal circle I got smashed up against the goal post and then slid down on my back so I was sitting on with my bum on the ground back up against the pole and then the player that smashed me into the pole landed on top of me I bruised all the vertebrae in my back and a spinal disc in my lower back.

I finished the game because I'm a psychopath. You carried on! I was taken away from the court in an ambulance. You carried on playing! And then got taken away in an ambulance. Now that is the sort of heroes we need on the social sporting field. I do not condone it. It was a bad call but endorphins were flowing and adrenaline. I didn't realize how much pain I was in. And then I was off work for like three months and seeing my physio every day to put me in traction to calm the discs down. And it was a fun time. Jeez, the way you were describing it, how you smashed against the pole and slid down and someone body slammed you.

It sounds like SummerSlam, WWE. Yeah, well, I mean, it's great for a non-contact sport. I don't know who came up with that term, but I've been playing for 32 years, and it's not a non-contact sport. No, they needed to take that out of there, the non out of the netball. Please tell me you came away with the W that day. I actually can't remember. But it was important you finished that game, though, right?

Yeah, yeah. No, you can't let them beat you. Even if you have got a smashed up spine. Walk it off, walk it off. You'll be fine. Oh, thank you for your call, Amy. Really appreciate it. Go and have a great day.

You too. Thanks, guys. This morning. And Sarah from the office has just come in. A veteran of the NZME social netball team, Sarah. But many injuries over the years, mate. That's so true. I am a veteran.

That's so embarrassing. How many years have you been playing for our social netball team, Sarah, but many injuries over the years, mate. That's so true. I am a veteran. That's so embarrassing. How many years have you been playing for our social netball team? 2005. Wow. That is great. Now, what have you suffered? Three sprained ankles. Okay, wow.

One dislocated thumb. Yeah. I had to wear like a thing on my hand for a bit. Yeah. And then I also got knocked out. Did you? Yeah. I had a concussion.

Jeez. And then you said last week you came to work with a net mark embedded on your face. I didn't think we were going to talk about that one. Oh, right. That one's embarrassing. That one was my fault. She actually ran into the net, which is around the court as well. I was being petty and it was my fault.

Is it all worth it? Is it worth the sporting glory? I think so. I mean, it's pretty cool to still be playing a sport like, you know, 35 years into it. Yeah, good on you. You know, Joel and I are in the final tonight. I know, big final tonight. That's exciting.

But getting knocked out was probably too far. What did you get knocked out? He just, I went for the ball in the air and he hit me in the air and then we fell on the ground. And I remember thinking when I hit the ground, oh, there's nothing under this AstroTurf. It's just concrete. It's so hard, the nipple core, right? Yeah. It's just AstroTurf and concrete.

And so then you come, what's it like being knocked out? When do you come to? I came to and I saw, and I was like, I just got back up and went to play. And then I realised my team was around me and I was like, oh, they must have walked from parts of the court. So it must have been about 30 seconds I was knocked out.

And then I went to play and then I said to the ref who's still our ref now actually Sharon shout out to her um I was like oh I don't think I'm okay I'm gonna sub myself off here yeah yeah I couldn't close my jaw for a couple of days oh geez all right but then you get back out there again good on you great commitment to the social here we go we'll get Hayden on the phone, good on you. Great commitment to the social. Monday night in Epples. Here we go. We'll get Hayden on the phone. Welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast. It's social sport injury, Hayden. Yeah, g'day, guys.

This one was a few years back now down in Taupo, and it was Tuesday, Wednesday night, seven-a-side footy. And similar thing, I went up for a header with a young fella, and we clashed heads quite nastily and he hit the ground unconscious and I sort of came down covered in blood everywhere and wobbly on the feet and pretty nauseous. We ended up side by side in the Taupo hospital where he discovered that he'd lost two and a half teeth and he wound up having about 20 grand's worth of dental on ACC

and I had a few stitches in the head and was let go and I thought that was sort of that and Friday night we're down the pub two days later having a beer with my mate Vardy and the first thing he says to me is what's wrong with your face and I'm like well that's a good way to start the night. You're on Vardy, yeah, stand up. Classic Vardy. Classic Vardy. And he goes, nah, mate, you've got a big red head, it's all

swollen and puffy, and where's your nose gone? So I said, oh yeah, I'll finish my beer and I'll go and have a look, and took myself up to the hospital, and there was a half a tooth had been stitched up inside, they'd missed it when they belonged to the other boy. You had his tooth in your face?

Half a tooth. So I had set the scene here and had to have a few little things stitched up. Yeah. Oh, there we go. Is it all worth it? You know? Sarah, that's the commitment we want tonight, to win the final, Sarah. Yeah, it's disgusting.

Sarah's like, no, not with him. Hey, Hayden, good on you. Are you in Taupo, are you? No longer, mate. Back up in Auckland. I just see the V8 supercars are coming there for next year. This is pretty cool. Oh, nice, nice.

The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Taylor Swift tour is making a lot of headlines. It's just a huge amount of people going along to see her, like thousands and thousands as she makes her way around the world. Going to make her way to this part of the world, not quite New Zealand, but early next year. Apparently she's going to bank over $500 million for this tour herself, but it's going to be over a billion. The whole tour is going to make over a billion dollars.

Obviously costs associated with that disappear, and she's left with just over 500 mil. She's definitely working hard for it, though. The concert's over like three and a half hours long. She's doing it night after night often Like five or six nights in a row She's working blimmin' hard for it She is

And you found this clip of a basketball commentator Who might not mean much to most people listening But he's quite an animated, opinionated broadcaster Yeah, very much so Like he'll say some stuff. You're like, Ooh, geez,

you know, he'll put himself out there. He'll go against some people as well. And I saw a little clip saying this guy's name is Stephen A. Smith, that he went to Taylor Swift. I was like, Ooh,

here we go. And he's like, I've got some stuff to say about Taylor Swift. Yeah. Strap yourselves in and have a listen. Now y'all know that Taylor Swift, you know, doing concerts all over the country. and have a piece. Two times 10 is $20,000! Not only did I send my daughters back to the concert, daddy actually went with them.

Me, at a Taylor Swift concert. But I said, I'm gonna go see her. That's the best concert I have been to in my life. Excuse my language, but that shit was off the chain. I was jamming to Taylor Swift. She was sensational. I'd pay to see her Swift. She was sensational. I'd pay to see her again. She was a superstar that night.

That girl is special. How good is that? I love it. 20,000. Jeez, he went deep on tickets. Oh, did he? I like his style. Maybe we could employ that where you talk quietly.

Then you talk like this. And then I say, coming up after seven o'clock, we're going to play some more music. It's going to be fun. Then you talk like this. And then I say, coming up after seven o'clock, we're going to play some more music. It's going to be fun. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
