The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Thanks to Challenge, putting the service back into service stations. Good to be back. Yeah, thanks very much for tuning into the show. Yeah, it does feel good to be back, doesn't it? Sometimes, even when I take a couple of weeks off, I come back feeling and looking shabbier than when I went on a holiday, Ben Boyd. Did you have a good couple of days off? No, it was lovely. Yeah, it was lovely. Went to the Coromandel for a little bit in between there and stimulated the local economy there, Ben Boyd. You were stimulating the South Island, weren't you?

Jeez, yeah. I don't want to stereotype, you know, these days living in the North, going down South. But jeez, cold. Oh, jeez, it's cold. Did you try and keep up appearances like you're in a Spates commercial? Well, that's the thing. You're like, oh, oh, but brisk because I went down with the family for a few days down in Queenstown,

and then you see someone just walking around in shorts and stubbies. You're like, oh, my goodness. How do you do it? How's this happening? It's a point-proving exercise, I think, to show you soft, namby-pamby North Islanders, you know, what real people do it like. But you went to Queenstown? Yeah, I went to Queenstown.

It's a beautiful part of New Zealand. And my daughter, Indy, one of the things that, you know, she loves going away with the family, but she loves, like me, she loves a list. And one of the most impressive things, I actually showed you that list on a phone. She had organised, a week before, she had written out the list of most impressive things. I actually showed you that list on a phone. You did? She had organised, a week before, she had written out the list of all the things.

She's 11 years old. Of all the things she needed to take. Now, I love a list. You know I love a list. You are New Zealand's premier list taker. Like, if you need a list for anything, Ben Boyce will write it. In fact, oh, 800 of the hits.

Have you got a task that you have to do today? Ben Boyce will design your list for you. I love a list and I love taking stuff off. But Indy does. And obviously, I got her to send it to me on notes. She made her notes. And it's categorised all the things she needed to pack you have to do today? Ben Boyce will design your list for us. I love a list and I love taking stuff off but Indy does and obviously I got her to send it to me on notes. She made her notes

and it's categorised all the things she needed to pack from upper body, lower body, shoes, jewellery, bags,

hygiene, hair, skincare slash make-up, day bag and then other. I don't know what other. I mean, it felt like

everything was well covered but then the other category as well. So sort of, oh, the other was just like hairstyle on, so she could plait her hair. That was on there. And a flower necklace and jewelry as well.

So I guess, I don't know why that wasn't in the jewelry section, but hey. Maybe it was stuff that- Oh, I thought extra stuff as well. She could do without, but she can take it if she wants. Yeah, you're right. Because there was a couple other necklaces. There was two other necklaces in the jewelry section as well. She could, you know, she could do without, but she can take it if she wants. Yeah, you're right. Because there was a couple other necklaces. There was, yeah,

two other necklaces in the jewellery section as well. So yeah, I mean, she is just, yeah, incredible, incredible organiser. You must be proud like this. I am.

As someone who loves the list, I'm like, jeez, she sent it to me and I'm like, I just followed her thing. I was like, have I got my flower necklace? Have I got my,

as well, yeah. She bamboozled a Santa at the mall a couple of years ago. I've told you that story where we took her to Santa, you know, at the mall, you know, and he was like, what do you want for Christmas? And she was like, well, hey, I've got a Google Doc of, you know, some ideas.

Now this is an eight-year-old going, hey, I'll share you in on my Google Doc. Now Santa was very, very confused by it all. I understand him. He used to like letters being sent to the North Pole. He's got a system. He's got a system. Tried to explain that, hey, there's a Google Doc.

Do you have a Gmail? Like, and she went on. Santa Claus 82, gmail.com. Yeah. But yeah, she's a very organized 11-year-old. That's for sure. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. All blacks and the Warriors, Black Black Ferns all had big wins

Yeah it feels like a sporting orgy at the moment doesn't it with the FIFA Football World Cup That starts Thursday this week We're hosting something for FIFA In the Waikato on Friday night I think there's fan zones all over the country

Dunedin's got one. Auckland's got one. I think all the cities that have got games get to have fan zones throughout the tournament. So you can go down and watch them. Go along and watch for free. Lots of great free entertainment, including us. Claude Lynn's Arena. Don't get me wrong. It's an honour to be hosting this for FIFA.

But I feel like FIFA aren't aware of our previous work, Ben. Or else we might not have been assigned to host their prestigious event. But yeah, no. What was impressive too over the weekend, Mount Schmutz Stadium. All Blacks Saturday night, then they had the Warriors less than 24 hours later. I know.

I was thinking like, I mean a great performance from the All Blacks and a great performance from the Warriors. It was amazing. But the ground stuff at Mount Schmutz, I mean. That is the performance from the All Blacks and a great performance from the Warriors. It was amazing. But the ground stuff at Mount Smart, I mean. That is the performance of the weekend. To turn it around, I was thinking, how do the lines are all subtly different

and the sponsors and all sorts. Because you'd have to rub out the ones for the rugby and then re-draw them on, wouldn't you? I'm not going to mansplain how they put lines on. No, but I don't know exactly how they do that, but it was a tremendous effort. It felt like the All Blacks should have been out there rubbing out their own lines, and then the Warriors could have got up,

you know, to turn up about three in the morning and then drawn their lines on as well. Yeah, putting some green paint over the top just to get rid of some stuff. Because you would have had different sponsors sprayed on the field too. Yeah. And incredible.

Oh, no. We've spent a lot of time focusing on the ground staff. But no, I don't think anyone Really has focused on that I mean the All Blacks Great performance as I say The Warriors was incredible as well Their season keeps rolling on

But you know But the ground staff You know Producer Joel You got something to add? I don't want to ruin it for you Jono But I'm pretty sure Most of the sponsors on the field

Are actually just digital displays For the TV I did wonder about Some of those Are they? Are they all not straight on? I think almost all of them are, if not all of them.

Yeah. Not obviously the numbers on the field. Not the numbers. Yeah, the numbers and the lines are on there. So that door dash that's on the tri-line. Digital image. Nah. It's pretty incredible how they can do that

and they can kind of run over the top and stuff. Yeah, it's crazy. Is it? It is. Jeez. I know you're blowing this boomers mind. What an age we live in. It's the Jono and Ben podcast.

You know, I'm a massive fan of the Warriors. And during the holiday break, I went along to one of the Warriors games. And it was shocking. Shocking weather. I'm excited. I'm always excited to go along to the Warriors. I remember the one you were going to. And I actually thought of you that night going, oh, yeah.

Yeah. And my family were going along with me and they, bless them, they go along, you know, I know they're going along for me, they get into it as well. You're going to Barbie tonight mate, swings around a bit, ebbs and flows. But I knew that the weather was going to be pretty shocking

so I was like, well what can I do to make the experience for them a bit more enjoyable so I make sure I've got rain jackets all that sort of thing, you know, you want some, you know, choose something from the dairy to take along, that sort of thing, to eat during the game. And then I thought, genius idea, I said to the girls, because the weather was looking really shocking

and my kids were like, is it going to keep raining all night? What's the weather forecast? I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, it was. It was, yeah. So I was like, hey, well, here's a little incentive for you. Okay, you guys pick a player for the Warriors and if that player scores, I'll yeah, it was. Yeah. So I was like, hey, well, here's a little incentive for you. Okay, you guys pick a player for the Warriors, and if that player scores, I'll give you $10. And then I was like, this will be great,

because it'll keep them interested for the whole game. They'll get support on, they'll cheer. And then my wife was like, excuse me, why don't you just offer the kids? I was like, well, $10. She's like, well, that's gambling. Player odds? Good odds?

I'm like, well, it's not gambling. I haven't done this through a proper service or anything like that tab take a bend yeah she's like well you've just done uh illegal gambling then you're basically doing illegal gambling well you should be like mate well they're already out ram raiding yeah what's a bit of backyard gambling underage illegal gambling well so i've said it now i can't take it back so they each chose you know chose a player chose a number and The players come in? Well, here was the moment. And I thought it was actually a life lesson because Indy, from going to previous games,

she's like, I like the guy with the mullet, the long hair, he scores tries. DWZ, Dallin Watanabe, Zaleskiak. And he's a winger for the Warriors. You would have seen him. He's got that great perm. And she's like, I want him. I was like, OK, great. She's like, I know he scores tries.

This will be great. And in that game, if you remember, it was a week or so ago, there was a bit of a charge down that he did. He got the ball, ran 70 meters. Now, we're watching this, the family in the wet. This is like 60 minutes into the game. I'm like, oh, the family up. Indy's up.

It's awesome. Here's my guy. It's 10 bucks. It's coming. We're like, whoo, greatest night ever. And then suddenly the referee, after awarding the try, sort of did the hand to the ear sort of thing. Oh, hey, don't do the hand to the ear.

And then did the TV screen sort of thing. The crowd started booing. And he's like, what's going on? What's happening? You're off to the bunker. Where's my $10? They're going to the bunker. Apparently they disputed it.

He had knocked it on in the charge down. And then I thought, well, hey. I said, my wife, I've taught my daughter's a valuable lesson about gambling. That it doesn't always win. Your life's a gamble, Ben. You don't always win. And so there you go. So I felt vindicated, even though the fact that I didn't have to give any money away.

No, good on you. Uno to blackjack's the next step, isn't it? Yeah, that's right. Ocean's 11, and that's just the age of the gamblers. We can make a lot of money. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Back, and that's just the age of the gamblers. We can make a lot of money. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Back from a few days

with the family in Queenstown. Awesome. A wonderful, wonderful place. Wonderful part of New Zealand. Unusual for an Aucklander to go to Queenstown. Yes, I thought I was the only one there from Auckland.

Was it just like the Queenstown people, is it just Auckland at Queenstown? Is that what it is? I think so, but it is an amazing spot. It is beautiful down there.

But very cold. Very, very cold. You were banging on about that the first thing this morning. I was a bit sniffly and, you know, like being down there as well. It's cold, you know,

not used to that sort of cold temperature. Well, your malnourished bony frame is not designed for those conditions. So picture that. It's cold. I'm wearing lots of layers of clothing. We're going out for dinner, the family and I,

and we're down by the beautiful water down there and it was this little boat thing that we were going to go on and my daughter indy was carrying some stuff and she slipped it was quite wet by the water and she slipped fell back on her back the poor thing and she had her phone in her hand and as she hit down her phone fell out of her hand and into the lake down there by the water poor thing she was quite carrying it give a bit of a fright because she actually slipped on the her phone fell out of her hand and into the lake down there by the water. Poor thing, is she all right? Yeah, she was quite carrying it, giving her a bit of a fright because she actually slipped on the water there. But you could see the phone go into the water.

This is just before we go to dinner. Nighttime conditions, there's a phone. She's quite upset. She dropped her phone in there, the water, and I'm like, oh, oh. And I had that sort of moment of going, oh, oh, should I dive on in? I'm feeling a little sniffly. It's cold. I've got my phone a little sniffly it's cold i've got my phone i've got my phone i've got my wallet i'm like oh the more you say the more you say

sniffly the less cred yeah cred's going down i had my chance really and then we watched because the light for some reason came on the phone we watched as it went all the way to the bottom so we went spoke to someone on the boat uh the boat around there and said they've got something we can play like a big net or something we can boat round there and said they've got something where you can probably, like a big net or something, we can get down there and they said it was quite deep, but there's a professional guy that can come in the morning. And I thought this was good, when she

said professional guy, because I could sense that my wife was like, well why didn't you jump? Why couldn't you have gone? It feels like a job you were destined for. Yeah, but I was like, well hey, there's a professional guy that can come in the morning. I'm sniffing. This is the time. This is the time. We've got time to be jumping in

when it's dark, it's cold. We're about to go for dinner. Yeah. Like, do you really want, you know, it's still in the morning. Don't mention I'm sniffly. It's a professional going to come along in the morning.

So I imagine in the morning we text this guy, we're going to, you know, give him a little bit of money, but not, you know, just to go down in the water. I imagine this guy was going to turn up,

wetsuit, everything, scuba gear, you know, all that. Because he's a professional guy. Showed up in the morning. You do want to leave it to the water. I imagine this guy was going to turn up, wetsuit, everything, scuba gear, you know, all that, because he's a professional guy. Showed up in the morning. You do want to leave it to the pros. Yeah. He showed up in the morning,

togs, some togs, nothing else, just togs. I'm like, oh, oh, okay. And then he dived on in, and jeez, it was cold, but he got to the bottom, came up with a phone, came up with another pair of glasses,

someone else's glasses. Are these anyone's? I was like, this guy had no wetsuit at all. I'm like, oh, that could have been me. And then another guy was like, oh, mate, I lost some glasses down there a couple of days ago. Oh, good, mate. Dive back in down there again. What a legend.

Came back out with this other guy's glasses. I'm like, oh, my goodness. Could you feel your wife's eyes burning into you just going, that could have been you? He was dead. No wetsuit, nothing. burning into you just going, that could have been you? He was dead. No wetsuit, nothing. I'm like, man, this guy is a hero. Saved the day.

Got the phone back as well from my daughter as well. But this guy was the hero that I couldn't be. Now, can I just, at what level would you have jumped into the lake? Okay. My phone. My phone was probably the level that I would have jumped on in. Oh, she's 11. She doesn't need to talk to me. It's my old phone.

We'll put it in rice. I don't know if that works, but we'll give that a crack anyway. But if a hero saved the day. Yep. Oh, 800 the hits. When has a hero saved your day? This could be as big as jumping into a lake in your togs. Midwinter.

Midwinter. Yeah. I was sniffing. Did you say I was a little sniffingwinter. Midwinter. Yeah. I was sniffly. Did you say I was a little sniffly? Yeah. Hey, listen, mate. I'm on your side. Yeah, thank you.

You were sniffly. I'm on your team. Oh, 800. Anyone who's helped you out, big or small, when a hero has come along, you can text 24487 as always. We've got prizes, because you won't call us if we don't say that.

There aren't prizes. We're the heroes that come along delivering you prizes. Back from a couple of days down in Queenstown, and my daughter slipped over a wet surface and phone fell out of her hand into the lake, cold lake at night time. And I probably should have jumped in for the phone, but I was a bit sniffly.

We were about to go out for dinner. I was like, oh. And I had that moment in my head. I was like, oh. You know when you're like, and now had that moment in my head i was like oh you know when you're like and now looking back i'm like oh i should have been the hero anyway we got a guy just ask how far away was the accommodation from where you were at that point in time oh like it would have 10 here like you could have gone but i had that moment in my head i was like i didn't do anything i didn't do anything regardless you were sniffling yeah it would have made you more sniffly

we got a guy there's a professional Coming to do it the next day And he just did it in togs And I was like Oh my goodness You have really shown me up Thank you for what you've done It was amazing But at the same time

Freezing cold lake Deep south Is the phone okay? Well I don't know We haven't tried it He said keep it The guy using his advice So three days in rice

So it's three days I think up tomorrow So yeah I did that with Oscar My son's phone. He dropped it in the bath. Worked a treat. Then you can make a delicious risotto afterwards.

Although, do watch out, because a single granule of rice got stuck in the charger port. Oh, I can imagine that will happen. It does. It fits just perfectly. Yeah, true. The rice manufacturer is monstrous, but let's go to the phones. When a hero has come along, we're going to kick it off with Fiona in Auckland. Your husband was the hero, Fiona.

Yes, he was. Not only for me, but for some of our neighbours across the road. It was about half five on a Monday morning last month, and I got up and I could smell burning. I said to my husband, can you smell burning? And he went, yeah, I can. So he was searching in our house. I went upstairs, carried out my normal business, opened up the front curtains, could smell burning and i said to my husband can you smell burning and he went yeah i can um so he was searching in our house i went upstairs carried out my normal business opened up the front curtains and i could see flames across the road went back downstairs to tell my husband but he'd gone

um so he was in his i mean i won't say lounge he calls them lounge shorts i'll call them pajamas um jandals and a jacket um ran across to the house by the time that i got there he was actually in the burning house oh my goodness managed to rescue the old lady um couldn't get to the gentleman because if he's in the navy um he felt the back of the door and could feel the heat um and he said to the young lad that was trying to help him as well so if we go through that door we're going to get engulfed by flames. Luckily, the fireman turned up in time and got the gentleman out, the old man out.

But, yeah, he's not only my hero, but their hero and certainly our boys. Stop talking. Hit the music. Wow. He didn't hesitate like I did when my daughter's phone fell in the water. He just went for it. What an amazing thing he did. Yeah.

Putting his life in. I did hit him afterwards going, what the hell are you doing, you bloody idiot? See, I wasn't that bloody idiot. I stood back. But he did amazing things. Is that house burning, Ben? Well, let's leave it to the professionals. I'm a bit sniffly.

I'm a bit sniffly. It's hot in there, mate. If anything, it's like a sauna. Good on you, Fiona. I'm glad everyone's safe in that instance. sniffly but it's hot in there mate if anything it's like a sauna good on you Fiona I'm glad everyone's safe in that instance love your work you have a great day

thank you guys Sarah you have a great time Sarah have a great time does she have a great time she can have a great time after that story mine's pretty trivial

and actually I've got better stories but I just had to kind of follow up from your one about the water. Now, hold on, Sarah. Are you saying we should have saved Fiona for last? I feel like we should have.

You should have saved Fiona for last. Sarah, do you want to back out of your story, or do you want to keep going with your story? What do you want to do? I want to keep going. I don't want to make you feel bad that you didn't give it a go getting the phone. Anyway, Sarah, what we'll do is we'll go, hey, Fiona, great. Let's erase that great story from our memory. You're kicking things off.

No, that's awesome effort by him, and congratulations. But anyway, mine's more like your story, and it was my fault that I dropped. We were out on a sailing boat in Fiji, and I had a six- and seven-year-old on the boat at the time, and we dropped an underwater camera out in the middle of the ocean and it was a borrowed camera and it was a day before we flew home, five families and everyone's photos were on this camera. That was the most upsetting thing, oh my gosh, no one's got any of these photos, it's all on the camera. So we had to go back in and my husband went back out

on a paddle board, was gone for two and a half to three hours and came back with the phone which was still on. Yep, Frito. Luckily it was bright blue. Bright blue Sony. Hit the music.

Wow. Sarah, I mean listen, it's no house fire. We can all agree there. That is incredible. Yeah, not really, but he's done more impressive things than that. But after your story, I was like, man, his dedication to the team. Yeah, more than me.

More than me, that's for sure. You've got a better husband than Amanda does. It's cold and I was sniffly, though. Just remember that. All right? You've got a better husband than Amanda does. It's cold and I was sniffly, though. Just remember that. All right? You can't have done it, everything. I'm just going to find what I'm good at. I love your work, Sarah.

I appreciate you listening in, Nelson. Have a wonderful week. Yeah, you too. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Ben, over the holiday period, we went to Banga Matar. Love it there. Obviously, you have to take a bit of a loop now. Oh yeah, true. The roads. Yeah, I think they're getting

on to fixing that at the moment. But I took the dog with me. Okay, so the dogs and the car. And I didn't know this about dogs. But dogs can get carsick. Did you know that? Oh yeah, some. I don't think all can but some can get, yeah. Well we've got a

carsick dog. Oh it doesn't like. Poor little my. I didn't realise all can, but some can get, yeah. Well, we've got a car sick dog. Oh, it doesn't like... Poor little Mike. I didn't realise he was. And then I could just hear... And I'm like... Oh no. Uh-oh, he's sitting on the passenger seat and you're just... Just explodes out of him all over the console. Oh no.

The gear, you know when you change gears? All over there and I'm just singing. And there's nothing you can do because you're going 100 k's an hour. Yeah. And you can't pull over. Well, I suppose you could pull over. You slow down and pull over. Not me, though, mate.

Once you get going on that trip, no stopping. And then I was saying, oh, well, maybe he's got it out now. He'll be all right. Wind down the windows. We'll keep on plowing. I'm not even going over and let him eat some grass or something or do something. And then he kind of clambers over into my lap. And he's just looking at me like, make it stop.

And I'm looking back down going, yeah, I'll make it stop. Well, no, but you can't stop for some reason. You know the rules when you said you wanted to ride with me, dog. And then again. You're a very erratic driver too, the poor dog. I've been in your car many times and felt like your dog has felt right now. Yeah. I am.

I'm a bit sort of smurvy, aren't I? And then again. And then this time it's just all over. Poor thing. Who, the dog or me? You're the dog. Yeah. I'm sitting there marinating in this stuff.

You could have stopped You should have stopped Now Gem, my wife, she was in another She left a different time, she had all the clothes And everything, it was just me Soaking wet trousers All the way to Whangamata Nothing I could do about it

Just driving in silence Drenched in dog vomit Going, wow, didn't get any lower than this. I do remember that with one of my daughters on a flight. It was like a six-hour flight in America when she was very little, and she was sick. Over me on the flight, a lot of milk, and that was all her diet, and it was just all over.

And again, same as you, no clothing, nothing. I'm like, well, this is me for six hours. Six hours? A T-shirt was all I was wearing. I was like, this is me for six hours six hours a t-shirt was all I was wearing I was like I can't take that off can you go shoot

us on a plane that's what I was thinking it's probably not a good look to go on the plane as well because they give you a life vest take your t-shirt off can I just put on a life vest

just to put something on because I was just like and you know the smell of milk you're sitting next to other people you're like hey this is me for the next bit.

I remember stopping at the airport because we had a changeover flight and just buying an overpriced T-shirt. But that's all I could. Those are good moments though in life when you are drenched in other people's fluids where you're just going, well, it's all up from here, isn't it, really? Yeah. You know? Yeah, well, this is the lowest we're going to get today, team.

Yeah. You know? Yeah, well, this is the lowest we're going to get today, team. It's just another motivational Monday. Ed Sheeran, he's doing pretty well in life, isn't he, Ed Sheeran? And he's got a key to success, Ben Boyce. You look a little razzled. What's going on? I'm going to go grab something eventually. You carry on. Okay, I'll keep talking.

Ed Sheeran, this is a bit of motivation for you on a Monday morning about how you can live a better lifestyle. All bad habits lead to other things if i have one beer then i'm going to want another beer and then i'm going to want a shot and then i might want a cigarette and then i might want a big mac and then those are all the things but with healthy it's if i drink water all day long it makes me feel great and then if i feel great i might exercise and if i feel great and exercise i'm going to have a good night's sleep and if i have a good night's sleep I'm more likely to want to get up early in the morning and go and do it all again so it's just a um just a domino effect but it's getting into it is the difficult thing of having these habits of I love wine I love I love having a bottle of wine before bed but then I would always

wake up feeling sluggish and then when you cut that out you realize that there's so much more you can do with your day all bad habits there you go you go. But Ed Sheeran, I mean, how fun is it eating a Big Mac while you're drunk? That is really cool. He's obviously got a song of bad habits and stuff, but I guess one bad habit does lead to another one, and then it is like a bit of a cycle. Yeah, because then you wake up the next day and you're like, oh, I should have done that yesterday,

and then you drink again to forget about that. But then if you get up early because you haven't done that before, you're like, oh, are you up and at them on the day? It's a lovely message and I'll stick with it until about 3.30 Friday afternoon. Ed Sheeran, what I rushed away while that was going on before because I was down in Queenstown and there's a place, I got a brochure

for the Fair Factory which is like a haunted attraction down there. And Ed Sheeran's in the brochure. He went along to the thing. He's on along there. Ed Sheeran went along and Ed Sheeran's done it. I saw the picture outside the Sheeran's in the brochure. He went along to the thing. He's on along there. Ed Sheeran went along. Ed Sheeran's done it. I saw the picture outside the thing. He's in the brochure.

But he's done. And I never thought with Ed Sheeran, oh, we should bring it up with him. Because he's done like a scary sort of looking face. Like he's, oh. But he looks. Like, look at Ed Sheeran. It's not the best.

It's not the best photo of Ed Sheeran, is it? Like, because he's putting on a face and stuff, he looks a bit sort of. He looks like a zombie, doesn't he? Yes, a zombie face. But I'm like, at the same time, if you didn't know that, you'd be like, oh, what's wrong with Ed Sheeran? It looks like a Down Syndrome version of Ed Sheeran.

Well, yeah. Well, I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. Ed Sheeran as well. I love on the – all it says underneath it with the photo of Ed Sheeran is, Ed Sheeran's done it. Ed Sheeran's done it.

I don't know if he liked it, but it does look very cool as well. But yeah, Ed Sheeran. I mean, it's pretty amazing that you've got Ed Sheeran who's gone along and done it. Does he know he's in the brochure? Oh, I'm sure. Ed Sheeran wouldn't care. He wouldn't have seen it. He wouldn't get a photopod in the brochure and be like, yeah, whatever.

He's such a lovely person. Affable person. And then didn't he go to Ferg Burger? And he loves Ferg Burger in Queenstown, Ed Sheeran. I know. Well, there we go. There's some motivation, Ed Sheeran. Drink more water. Thatown, Ed Sheeran. I know. Well, there we go. There's some motivation, Ed Sheeran. Drink more water.

That's what Teddy Sheeran's telling us. Time for news. Or not, not, not, not. Now what we do is get producer Taylor, Taylor Montoya, into the studio. She reads us three headlines. And we, with your help, have to decipher which headline is the fake story. So 0800 the hits. Have we got some hell pizza this morning, Tay, we can give away?

Yep, yep. Cool. You know what I love about having Tay on the show is, we've mentioned before, she's married to the warrior, Marcello Montoya. People just now text in feedback on Monday morning about Marcello's performance. All right. You can text 4487, someone's just texted in, didn't they, Tay? Yeah. Tay, your husband was fantastic in the game yesterday. Very performance. All right. You can text 4487. Someone's texted in, didn't they, Tay? Tay, your husband was fantastic in the game yesterday.

Okay, so 0800 the hits, telephone number if you'd like a Hell Pizza voucher. The three headlines this morning, Tay. All right, number one. Boy's decapitated head reattached by doctors after horror bike accident. Oh, jeez.

Okay, so the hits come clean off and they put it back on. Okay, so is this a new story or is this not a new story Okay. So, okay. So, the heads come clean off and they put it back on. Okay. So, is this a new story or is this not a new story? All right. Okay. Okay. Number two. Man's tongue grows hair and turns green after smoking whilst on antibiotics.

Legend. What a battler, too. Committed to the sport. Okay. I'm starting to believe that one more than the decapitated. Right. Number three. DC Comics in talks with Mattel to create Barbie superhero movie.

That's plausible too. Yeah. Have you tricked us or are you going with that? Yeah. Okay, now we need to decide, thanks to forensic investigation. And this person on the phone right now, what story is the fake one? Who do we have here? Hi, Vicky. Vicky, do you have any

feedback for Marcelo Montoya? Sorry, what was that? Great feedback. Vicky, what do we reckon is the fake one? The last one. The last one, the Mattel are in talks with DC to create Barbie into a superhero. Now this is what you were thinking? I'm thinking the decapitated one. The last one, that the Mattel are in talks with DC to create Barbie into a superhero. Now this is what you were thinking?

I'm thinking the decapitator. Yeah, well, okay. It was internally decapitated. Right. It was internally decapitated. Oh, so Vicky knows a bit more about this potential story. Taylor, is she correct? Yes, so DC Comics are in fact not in talks oh well done so

that means they did attach a boy's head yeah wild hey but it was internally what's that how do you know the story vicky you tell us more i read it on facebook okay what are the dates babes fire them over sorry what was that What are the details of the story? I didn't read too far into it. All I know is that they're very attached to it. Yeah, classic theme of this radio show. We don't read too far into stuff. Just give you the top headline.
