The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Thanks to Challenge, putting the service back into service stations. It's Valentine's Day today, and throughout the morning, if you want to make a request, we don't normally do requests on Breakfast Radio, but if you... No, we say we'll play your song, and then we never do. No, we say what we can do. That means they're not going to play it.

But today, we've got permission to play a couple throughout the show. So 4487, if you want to make a request for Valentine's Day for your loved one, and a reason behind the show. So 4487 if you want to make a request for Valentine's Day for your loved one and a reason behind the song. Now, I've been blessed to see you wearing a nice Valentine's shirt. It's sort of a towelette, a shirt made of a towel material.

It wasn't intentional for Valentine's Day. It's a nice shirt though. I like the material. Yeah, it's kind of like you can put it on after you go for a swim as well as going to the beach. Is it perspiring? Yeah.

Now, Megan, you – I'm hot, sweaty, lovemaking. We thought we'd wonder – we thought we'd ask each other what the song would be if we could play a little song for our partners. We're not going to play the full song this morning. Not allowed. Not allowed, no. We'll see what we can do.

So I picked a song for my husband. It's actually a song from our wedding It's the song I walked down the aisle to We had a string quartet Oh did you? Yeah Sounds expensive How many in a string quartet?

Four The clue's in the name But also it's a beautiful song But because there's quite an age gap between us It's always kind of like hit differently Because it's called Young and Beautiful by Lana Del Rey And the lyrics are Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?

That's a nice song That would sound really cool with a string quartet It was amazing. It was awesome. It's from The Great Gatsby, the movie. Very cool. Very nice. And, well, you still are young and beautiful, Megan.

Oh, thank you. So he must still be loving you a lot. He's just always younger, though. I know. He's more younger and more beautiful. He's complaining about turning 30. I'm like, oh. So we want to know this morning on 4487 if you've got a request you want to make throughout the show.

And Michelle joins us right now. Happy Valentine's Day, Michelle. Thank you. You too. Yeah. Now, I want to request a song. Dedicate a song to someone. My husband, Mark.

He was in hospital For a month He got through that That's year. He was in hospital for a month. He got through that. That's very good. Oh, just everything about him. Four to seven. Don't tell me about four. Do not tell me about four.

No, you don't. You don't. I don't know why we make him make seven things. What's his go-to dish that he makes you? Oh, he can make Italian. Oh, I love anything that's pasta. Oh, that's awesome. Now, you want to play a song for him.

Now what's the meaning behind the song? The meaning behind the song is that when we first went out, because he can actually sing, when we first went out, we went out to a karaoke bar and he got up and sung your song by Elton John. Oh, jeez. I bet he's a very passionate lovemaker. I don't know. We won't go there.

He sounds like a very sensual lover. Stop hitting on her husband. Yeah, he's taken, all right? He cooks dinner for not you. Oh, yeah, well, I think we should play that now. I don't think we've played Elton John, your song, on the show, so I'd love to hear it. It's a great song.

Okay, yeah, no, it's lovely. Why don't you we've played Elton John, your song on the show, so I'd love to hear it. It's a great song. Okay, yeah, no, it's lovely. Why don't you do the shout out now? Oh my God, I can't. Is someone walking down the corridor? Yeah, okay. Happy anniversary, Mark. I love you. The love of my life and... Very sensual lover.

Here's your song for Mark. There's the hits. Love you, Mark. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. You're reading up people's requests, Ben. We'll just lower it down a couple of octaves, okay? Take two, thanks. It's for Michelle there on The Hits. Love your song there, Elton John.

Beautiful song. Now, a Florida man has been making news over the last 25 days for doing something wild, very wild and crazy. He's been eating raw chicken every day for 25 days. There's a sort of crazy, and yeah, no one recommends doing this. A lot of health professionals saying this is very, very dangerous for you. But he's been eating raw chicken for 25 days until he gets sick or goes to hospital.

And this is what's happening. Five, eating raw chicken every day until i get a tummy ache so far i don't have a tummy ache but i am starting to grow a few feathers don't try this at home 12 eating raw chicken every day till i get a tummy ache i'm half italian so today we're going to try a recipe called chicken parm 24 eating raw chicken every day till i get a tummy ache happy Happy Super Bowl day to those who celebrate. Today we'll be having buffalo wings. Why is he so set on clearing chicken's name? Has he been a plant from the chicken industry? Mate, we've got some terrible campylobacter. I don't know.

Pop again. Yeah. Yeah, he's in it for big chicken. I don't know. I don't know. It feels like it could be a hoax because it is a wild and crazy things to do. But so far, according to him, he hasn't had a tummy ache. He's been doing it for 25 days.

There's a lot of uni students listening to this right now going, well, that's my Monday to Friday. Yeah. Very disturbing to watch. Like, to watch him actually eat raw chicken. And if he gets Campylobacter, he will rue the day he did that. It's horrific. It's probably like gambling.

He's taking a gamble. In gambling, you lose your money. In eating raw chicken every day, you could lose the contents of the inside of your body. Yeah, no, it's pretty full on. As you say, I've had that before, and ended up with the A&E. It was pretty horrible.

Yeah, same. I thought I was going to die. I was like, I'm going to die. Yeah, I'm going to die. It was horrible. Someone, there's a lot of theories about this because I did get lost in a bit of a hole after you mentioned it yesterday, Ben.

A lot of theories saying that if he drank alcohol afterwards, it would severely increase his chances of not catching anything. Killing the alcohol in his stomach would kill the... Is that a legit theory? Apparently. Yeah. Don't listen. One thing you should learn is don't trust me.

No. But yeah, some things we should just be scared of. And I think it should be catching Campylobacter from chickens, Donald Trump becoming president, strangers in vans with lollies. I mean, they do it in Japan. They do serve raw chicken as a dish in some places. Chicken sushi?

Yeah. So that's done by professionals who know what they're doing and stuff. But yeah, I guess in this occasion, it's some crazy guy on the internet that's running the risk. Well, we'll keep you up to date. We've tried to track him down for a bit of a conversation. We put up a funny post on Facebook yesterday going, what's the riskiest thing you've eaten? And that really backfired. People are like, why are you promoting this?

People could die. Yeah, they could. They could, but then they can also choose not to eat raw chicken. There is that. We're not saying go out there

and eat raw chicken. We're not saying this guy's a hero. We didn't do an influencer post saying, hey, have you had your raw chicken today?

The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. There's a mum in Missouri, sorry, in the USA who's sparked There's a mum in Missouri and the USA who's sparked a bit of an online debate and I'm not sure, I don't really know why it's a debate but anyway

You said it divided the internet, now it may not be dividing the internet but if we don't say it's dividing the internet then you won't stick around and hear the story. Yeah exactly So she's put her note out that she left for a babysitter for her son a babysitter came over and the note says uh you're more than welcome to just hang out and watch tv all night if you

if you want but if you want to make some extra cash here's a list of some jobs up for grabs and how much money i will pay you and then she's gone through it's like ten dollars for cleaning the glass and the mirrors three dollars for vacuuming the couch fifteen dollars for cleaning out the entire fridge and wiping it down so at the end of the night you look all the glass and the mirrors, $3 for vacuuming the couch, $15 for cleaning out the entire fridge and wiping it down. So at the end of the night, you look at all the stuff, the babysitter could make a lot of money.

$100 plus bucks. Oh yeah, there's heaps of stuff on top of all the babysitting. Why would that divide the internet? I don't know as well. There's a few people that haven't read the comment going, the person's there to look after your kids, not to,

and she's like, well, she's clearly said you could just do that and also watch TV. Yeah. She's like, I don't really care about the safety of my child. I'd rather the house clean when I get home, to be honest. It's a really smart idea, though. Yeah, well, because she can top up.

She can pick and choose whatever she wants, right, and get a top up on the payment. And when you come home, you might have some extra jobs done from a babysitter who's just going to sit and watch TV. We have reached a glorious age, Ben Boyce, in our parenting career. We're both our eldest of 14. Legal. Yeah.

Be at home alone. Yeah. Babysit the kids. It's 14. 14, yeah. So they can babysit. Yeah. We're free, baby.

Yeah. We're free. Weird feeling for the first time. Going, okay, you're, you know. So it seems quite young. But it's like, yeah. Responsible. They can look after other kids as well. You know? Yeah. So making money. going okay you're you know so it seems quite young but it's like yeah responsible they could look after other kids as well you know like so making money oh my daughter's you know

loving been on that circuit of the money making circuit next year she can drive yeah that's why that is 15 so young to drive do you remember when you were 15 yeah i remember the first time i i drove in a car by myself and i literally wound the windows down and went not looking at the road like you were there now i think about i'm like that was wild yeah we're putting a lot of trust in you in 15 year olds aren't we although i do feel like they're for the most part more responsible than we were yeah like i reckon a lot more responsible the younger generation these days it is generalization i know know there's some ram raters out there. Yeah, I know there is. There's always going to be exceptions to the rule,

but I think sometimes they're a lot smarter. Yeah. Sometimes you look back and you're like, how did I make it out alive of those teenage years? Probably spilling into the 20s, to be honest. How did I make it past 25? It's a miracle. The Hits, the Jono to be honest. How did I make it past 25? It's a miracle. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.

Well, just a couple of days was just a couple of days previous and it was the biggest television event ever in US history. 123 million people in the US alone tuned in to watch it on TV. Wow.

That's crazy, man. That is, yeah. Think of a population here of New Zealand of what, the team of 5 Wow. That's crazy, man. That is, yeah. Think of a population here of New Zealand of what, the team of 5 million? That's 123 million in one country alone. That's a lot of us. Yeah.

123 million. 123 million? Yeah, that's what it was. You're saying the moon landing pulled in 150 million viewers. Maybe sporting? And maybe worldwide, because we were talking about that before the show, because the US articles are saying it's the biggest in the history of TV. And then you look at other things like the Queen's.

The Queen's funeral they reckon estimated like 4 billion people yeah sometimes America doesn't like to acknowledge the rest of the world maybe the pandemic

was worldwide this one they've just focused in on the country watching it yeah because we're like the biggest in the world's

history and it's like well America don't care about anyone else they are the world tell you what no one's more

happier than Travis Kelsey about those numbers Viva Las Vegas Viva They are the world. Tell you what, no one's more happier than Travis Kelsey about those numbers. He's a happy man. Those are some great ratings there, Travis. How much would you pin on Taylor Swift? How many of those million would you pin on Taylor Swift?

Well, it's definitely up from last year, right? What was last year? 112 million. 10 million. She brought in 10 million people. Apparently 20% of people were supporting, 20% extra were supporting the Chiefs just because of Taylor Swift. That was the only reason I chose a team.

His jersey sales must have gone through the roof. Yeah, you imagine so, right? She'll be halftime next year, surely. I don't reckon she'll do it. No, I don't reckon she'll do it either. She's beyond that. I don't know. She's beyond the Super Bowl.

Yeah. Is she? She performed this year. What do you mean? I just have to turn up And sit in a corporate box And I bring you 10 million views Exactly

Now I have to go and practice And rehearse And stuff like that Some secret recordings Went on in a household last night Yeah Some home truths Does the partner know

About the secret recordings? I don't know If the partner knows About the secret recordings No They're't know if the partner knows about the secret recordings. No. They're going to be played up. Well, it might be played after 8 o'clock this morning, but all three of us, me, John, I, myself, we're in relationships, married,

and sometimes the sexy, the flirting, the stuff, that sort of stuff makes way for more mundane conversations. More administration. Stuff that's still important. Stuff that needs to happen. A lot of admin. You can't just be flirting and texting and all that. Nothing will get done.

Who's picked the kids up from school? Oh, sorry, we're too busy flirting. I have a text message. You're right. The way you say it was such disdain. I'm all horned up, but the kids are waiting at the school gate. That's right. So, yeah, we like to read out some of our more day-to-day text messages in a sexy tone. And you wouldn't get a more appropriate day.

You'd be spicing up those text messages. Hit the music there, Grace. Who wants to kick things off today? Megan, you can go. Should I go? Yeah. Okay. This is from Andrew.

I presume it's from Andrew, your husband. It is. It is. Do you mind picking up the poo today? Oh, that's sexy. Did you? My dog. I did, actually. I did. Not his. Okay. The dog's poo on the lawn.

Ben Boyce. Well, look, hey, I've got a lot of sexy texts coming through about Amanda's phone. My phone started playing up. I'm getting purple lines through it. Sorry if I called you before. Then it continues.

Another text. Thanks for my croissant for lunch. Phone is still doing weird things. Think I just called you again. Sorry. So not even happy that she called. Sorry. Last thing I want to do is talk to you.

It could be sexy. She's like, I'm sorry I called you. Finally, phone not improved. Might need to get it fixed to buy a new one. Hopefully not. I'm reading between the lines here. It's Valentine's Day. She wants you to all come home dressed as a phone repair salesman. Oh, okay.

Hey, I heard there was a phone that needed some fixing around here. Yeah, I guess it is. Yeah, it's got lines through it. Oh, yeah. Let me just run some diagnostics on that one. This is from Jennifer, my wife. Oh, no, this is from me too, Jennifer, sorry. Do you know the Sky account number?

Jennifer to me. Not off the top of my head. Me to Jennifer, thanks. Now, I'm picking up what she's putting down. Yeah. She's not off the top of her head. She's got other stuff in her head. And what's in her head?

Smooching. Smooching up a storm. That's right. That's why she can't remember the sky number. There we go. Sexy text for another week. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Throughout the morning, thanks to Chemist Warehouse,

we're getting some dedications on, like love songs to midnight on radio, except we're only doing them until nine. Until nine. Yeah, don't get carried away. But you can earn a fragrance for your partner as well as getting a request on 4487 on The Hits because Chemist Warehouse is the real house of fragrances

this Valentine's Day. Maybe you've got a Valentine's request for your partner. When are you going to finish painting the bloody deck? You know, could be one of those requests. Yeah, could be. Get those on as well. We've been talking about songs that mean special things in our relationships. Megan, you had a good one before with Andrew, Lana Del Rey.

Yeah. Young and Beautiful was the song I walked down the aisle to. That was nice. Would you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? Feels fitting. You're 10 years older than Rey. Yeah. Young and Beautiful is the song I walked down the aisle to. That was nice. Would you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful? Feels fitting. Ten years older than him. As we said before, he's still madly in love with you. After 50, I don't know.

I can't speak for him after 50. I would pick Fleetwood Mac for Jennifer, my wife, and me everywhere. It was our wedding song. Which part of the wedding? The first dance. And Jen danced as a youth. She can dance. And I made a twerking David Seymour on Dancing with the Stars look like

bloody Lance Savali. I was here, fumbled my way through it, stood on feet. Yeah, not a dancer. It's one of those things, eh? Some people are like, why are we doing the first dance? You're a genius play from Ben at his wedding. Yeah, well, because we had a costume, a mascot, on the TV show I was doing, so a fox costume.

And I got my mate to, no one knew I had it at the party, but I got him to get into it and come in and tap me on the shoulder just as we started the dance and take over. I'm like, like oh he's here oh and so yeah you didn't even do the first dance great way to get out roll up dance with a novelty fox

it's big of course it's a novelty fox with a comedic angle for the first dance Amanda's like it's her first dance doesn't have to be funny I wanted to bring had the fox arrive with the wedding rings but apparently that wasn't okay Amanda's like, it's our first start. It doesn't have to be funny. I did run that one past her. I wanted to have the fox arrive with the wedding rings, but apparently that wasn't okay.

Like I didn't have the wedding rings, and then it was going to burst into the chat. He wanted to turn his wedding into a sketch. That wasn't okay. Anyway, so it was more about you. This was the middle ground. All right, let's get Brenda on. Brenda, welcome.

How are you? Good, thank you. Lovely to have you on in Canterbury this morning. We're doing Valentine's Day requests. Congratulations to all the happy lovers out there and the happy florists who are charging 200% more than they were yesterday. Yeah, what song do you want to dedicate and to who today? I'd like to dedicate this song, Angels, by Robbie Williams,

and that's to my husband, Mark, after 21 years and two kids. And, yeah, we're still together. Oh, nice. Still madly in love? Oh, no, it's different. I think is the word that you used for that. Has the love died? I kind of got that when you were like, we're still together. Why don't we call Mark right now?

Oh Jesus. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it's different. It's different. I think it's more steady. It's not that, you know, all over the top and that sort of thing. Yeah, I'm with you. I know what you mean. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So why... We're together. Why this song? Why do you like this song? Angels has a wedding song. Where's Mark right now? He's on a flight at the moment. Oh, he's not going to hear this

We'll play this for him He can't even hear it We'll send it to you He's one of Fragrance as well Any other bits when you said oh we're still together I think a lot about you Megan Over the past few weeks working with you as well You and your husband Andrew

Mainly too she's got a friend that she could call at 3 a.m. and who would bury her body for her. We just tried calling that friend during the song. We can't call her at 7.29 because she's not answering. Won't answer her private number. But you're going to get her to do all sorts of other stuff. Can we just get her to answer the phone? If it was a private number, I wouldn't answer it either.

We'll keep this rolling coverage going. I mean, you'd be very stressed out if you actually were in that situation now and she's not answering. Now, Andrew, of course, I think we mentioned this a couple of days ago that he was in a boy group, an all-boy group, Titanium.

They had this massive song. It was a heck of a jam. It was huge. Manufactured and masterminded by the evil head of a radio station, weren't they? And put together for commercial purposes. It is how we met. I used to work for that radio station and, yeah,

I interviewed him for the role in the boy band. You interviewed him? What did you ask him? Oh, like multiple interviews. Like I was an announcer and I interviewed him. A job interview. No, no, no, no, no, no. On you about the band as well.

I was watching that video last night and I thought I'd put you to the test right now and see if you can pick which one. Because they all have their little parts in the song. Yeah. Would you be able to pick which part was Andrew your husband? Absolutely. I can tell you who each of them are. Really?

Okay. I'll have to take your word for it. Because they all had personas, didn't they? There was like the hot guy, the bad guy. What one was Andrew? The hot guy, of course. The hot bad guy. Why was it? Okay. I don't course. The hot bad guy. Why was...

Okay. I don't want to body shame anyone. Was there a larger gentleman? No, you're thinking of the previous boy band. That was like a jokey one. Yeah. Yeah. There was a chubby guy, they called him, didn't they?

Yeah. We wouldn't get away with that in 2024. No, that's been cancelled. That was a bit of a piss take, that band, wasn't it? Yeah. Oh, this was actually serious. This was actually serious. This was a proper one all

right anyway it's just andrew no that's tk oh geez okay i want to know is this andrew no that's hayden she's you're good is this andrew yeah that's andrew oh you are really good they sound yeah no they don't they sound really different they were really good. They sound... No, they don't. They sound really different. They were really good. They were really good. But yeah, you're right. You've done very well picking them out.

Which one is your husband out of those three? Your eyes would water with how many times I've heard that song. Honestly, I'm a bit triggered. My eye's twitching. Like Ben said, we'll have to take your word for it on the other two members. Yeah, no. I'm right. I'm 100% right.

So what, 10 years age gap? Yes. Between the two of members. Yeah, no. I'm right. I'm 100% right. So what, 10 years age gap? Yes. Between the two of you. Yeah. And yesterday, I mean, speaking of music, you had a big issue that he's wearing a pink Floyd shirt, not knowing the band or the songs. He likes the picture, the diamond, the prism with the beam of light going through coming out like a rainbow, but he doesn't know that it's Pink Floyd.

Couldn't name me a song. So he's not relating to your old woman music. It's only when it comes to like musical pop culture that we realise there's a big difference. And 10 years is a big gap in pop culture. I went to see Titanic in cinemas

this is one we always talk about and he was like 3 years old. Wow, that really puts it into perspective. I went to see Titanic in cinemas. This is one we always talk about. And he was like three years old. Wow. Wow, that really puts it in perspective. You didn't go together though, did you? No, obviously not. All right. See if we can beat this.

Can we beat 10 years as an age gap? In a relationship, we're going strong right now. Well, they'd be larger than 10 years. It always seems more when the woman's older, I reckon. Because it's, yeah. Okay. Yeah, and always seems more when the woman's older, I reckon. Really? Yeah. Okay. Yeah, and there's more put on.

Have you been called a cougar, have you? Just a couple of times. Train outages yesterday. The tracks are too hot in the York and region as well, so hopefully things get sorted for that. We're just talking the biggest age gaps listening right now. Megan, you were just saying 10 years between, well, no, you weren't just saying that,

we've been saying it every day for the last two weeks. I wondered how long it would take for us to do this phone-in topic. I wanted to do it day one, but I've waited, what, day three? Week four, five? Week four, yeah, something like that. 10 years between yourself and your husband Andrew. Oh, it's ten years? Yeah.

I'm older, which has always caused a bit of drama for people. Well, no. Does it cause drama for you, though? No. Apart from him not knowing Pink Floyd? No. No? Not really.

I wouldn't have thought so. He's a very old soul and I'm very immature, so we meet in the middle. I was going to say, he seems wise beyond his years. Yeah, yeah. So there you go. Megan snatched him out of the clutches of a radio promotion. mature so we meet in the middle i was gonna say he seems wise beyond his years yeah yeah uh so there you go uh megan snatched him out of the clutches of a radio promotion many many years ago would that be frowned upon nowadays as well maybe yeah yeah that was love is love and did you did you know you're in love as soon as you met him um or there's just something there i thought he was pretty cute but i wouldn't say say that it was love at first sight.

I hope he's not listening. I was smitten straight away. I'm just going to put this in other terms. We're going to start a girl band of young girls here on the hits. Ben Boyce falls in love with a young girl who's ended a radio competition. It sounds weird on the reverse, doesn't it? It sounds cancelable, doesn't it?

How are we feeling about that? He's a lot older than I was. A lot, like decades. Well, speaking of which. You didn't say they could be 30-year-old females. I was doing a 30-year-old girl band. You are on the hits, mate. You should have come to that brainstorming session the other day Alright let's see if we can beat 10 years

The old Spice Girls We were going to call them That would be a good promo The old Spice Girls I like it Someone just texted saying Biggest age gap is Richard Gere And his wife 33 years Of course he's from Pretty Woman the actor I was just texting saying biggest age gap is Richard Gere and his wife, 33 years.

Of course, he's from Pretty Woman, the actor. Yeah, I was just reading about her. I always think that he was 33 when she was born. Yeah. He was a family friend of hers. She comes from a very elite stock in Spain. Wow. And, yeah, they connected.

She's now 40. They've got kids together. Happy as Larry. Yeah. Happy as Larry. Speaking of, we'll go from a Larry to a Gary. Welcome, Gary. How are you?

I'm good, guys. How are you? Yeah, we're doing well, mate. Oh, Gary, lovely to hear your voice. First time in 24 May. So, biggest age gap? Well, there's 10 years between me and my partner, but in the UK, like, my granddad's second wife

was 15 years younger than his son's partner of 30 years. Jesus, a lot of deets there. A lot of maths in there. A lot of maths. So your granddad's wife was 15 years younger than his son's wife. Than his son's partner wife. They were together for nearly 30 years. Wow. than his son's wife. Than his son's partner wife, yeah. They were together for nearly 30 years.

Wow. That is, so, yeah, I mean, to put that in perspective, if you could do simple maths, how old was Grandad and how old was his wife? Well, Grandad was nearly 94 when he died, but he was 74 when he married her and she was 49. Ooh. Wow. Now, how did the family feel about that? Were there any whispery conversations behind backs?

No. Well, not behind my back because, yeah, we embraced them and loved them as part of the family. They were amazing people. Sadly, three of the four have died, so, yeah. Oh, there we go. Hey, Olga. Appreciate your call, mate. Now, someone's, so yeah. There we go. Hey, Olga. Appreciate your call, mate. Now, someone's texting as well.

Al Pacino. Pacino, 54-year age difference. Oh, wow. We'll do some fact-checking on that on the go. Al Pacino. Has he just had a child? That was De Niro, didn't he? That was De Niro.

Yeah, maybe Pacino. Gee whiz. That taps. We'll get didn't he? That was De Niro. Yeah, maybe Pacino. Gee whiz, that's tough. We'll get you on from Cambridge. Biggest age gap? 17 years. 17 years. There you go, Megan. Yeah, okay.

So, but I'm saying that he's older than me, but I believe I'm more mature than he is. Oh, that's always going to be the case. Has there been any noticeable differences in the relationship that you've had to work through? Not really, other than what other people think, but I don't really care what they say. That's the attitude, Taps.

And we've got our beautiful sons together. Oh, good on you. Well, just know that you don't care, but everyone in Cambridge is talking behind your back, OK, Tavs? Who cares? Everybody does. Everybody does. Good on you, mate.

The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Not everyone, we know, not everyone's into Valentine's Day. I must apologise, too, to the other days. They get overshadowed by this great day, too. Ben Bice also celebrating on the 14th of February as National Library Lovers Day. So maybe you love the library so much you'd have no other love in your life to give anyone. So there we go. We've got to acknowledge the other days.

Now, Producer Taylor, we're bringing you in right now. Your husband, Marcelo, plays the Warriors captain this weekend actually for the Warriors team in Toronto, which is cool, eh?

Yeah, it's good. It's worked. You got that nice new phone recently, did you? Yeah, thanks.

Can I just clarify that was a birthday present? We're all entitled to birthday presents. so Marcelo, not a believer. I'm with him on Valentine's Day. You don't buy into the commercialism?

No, we don't. Well, you know what? You two can go off. Ben would actually love that. Is he free? I'd love that. If you went on a date with Marcelo for Valentine's Day, it would be his dream Valentine's Day.

Maybe I'm back in for Valentine's Day, guys. Are they wearing Warriors clothes? Both of them matching? Holding hands. I'm in, I'm in. But you recorded, Marcelo. Yep. Without his knowledge.

Mm-hmm. Last night. Just seeing if you were going to get a Valentine's Day present this year. Yep. Once you try my luck. Marcelo. Yeah. It's Valentine's Day tomorrow.

What have you got in me? Nothing. Are you being serious? Yeah, you know we don't celebrate valentine's day you that's a stupid rule you've can't we every year i get you something two things here we go one it's an american thing right okay okay and two you have everything you need mate yeah but this isn't a debate of like what I need. This is like a nice small gesture to show your wife what she means on Valentine's Day. I think I give you plenty of small gestures, right?

All right, so you can enjoy that. Really? What was the last small gesture you gave to me? Was your birthday present. That's a birthday present. That doesn't count. Everyone has birthdays. You know, I get nothing.

I'll be out training by the time I finish. That's it. I come home. You know, I get nothing. I'll be out training. By the time I finish, that's it. I come home, have dinner, that's enough. Are you going to feel bad if I get you something? No. Yes. No, I won't. Yes, you will.

You did it last year again and we didn't do it. No, I got you something. I did. I got you chocolates and that. Yeah. And I didn't get you anything. Yeah. But the thing is, I told you I'm not going to get you anything.

And then what do you do? You get upset about the fact that I didn't get you anything. Yeah. But the thing is, I told you I'm not going to get you anything. And then what do you do? You get upset about the fact that I didn't get you anything. Yeah, because, no, because. We're just going to take a break in transmission. Was that you guys or was that Married at First Sight Australia? Oh, my God. You guys would be so great on that. Yeah.

Yeah. You're both like, yeah. You're doing everything you need. Yeah. Oh, my God. Why couldn't we video that? That is very good. I see his point, though.

I love his two points. He's like, first thing, it's an American thing. Don't buy into the American rubbish. Yeah. No, not good. Okay. So do you think he's going to get you something now if you've had that conversation? No.

Oh, my God. And lucky he comes home today now after that. He's got your bloody Warriors season pass. Are you for real? Every year you get to go to the Warriors. Mate, doesn't cut it, does not cut it. I'll take it. And your husband.

It'll take him too. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Everyone into it as we just found out before, between producer Taylor and her partner, Marcelo. And we've got Bridget Jackson, who's the founder of Equal X's. She's a relationship coach and she's going to help sort out the problems. Thanks for coming on the show this morning, Bridget. Thanks for having me. Great to be on the show.

You're a relationship coach, obviously, and it's great to have you on because Producer Taylor's in a wee bit of a bind because she wants to celebrate valentine's day and her husband marcello is not not a fan of valentine's day what do you do when you're differing in a relationship you know it's interesting and and this comes back to men really don't like celebrating valentine's day uh for many reasons including it's you know it's a commercial sort of influence. But don't be upset about it. Why don't you go and do it with your friends? So have a

Galentine's Day. Oh, Galentine's Day, Taylor. You're into that? I don't have any mates in this country, unfortunately, Bridget. Sorry. Who are we? What are we? What are you doing today? Have a Galentine's Day. I'm not hanging out with you, obviously. The commercialism aspect of it, Bridget, does it make it all tacky?

Yeah, well, I mean, everyone, you know, this is why it's really important to have these conversations. And if one party doesn't want to celebrate it, then you can go and do something for yourself. Or do something on any other day of the year. Yeah, well, I think a lot of people do think that because you're together all the time, why do you need to shower someone with love on a particular day when it should be happening every day? But does it happen every day? Generally, no.

It's one day. It depends on the relationship doesn't it And I think too A lot of people are worried about Finding new things So do any of you get the same gift every year Well listen I do fall into I fall into purchasing a gift card

For a favourite shop Because I'm like she's going to use it I don't know what to buy from the shop And it's probably the most boring present you can give someone. But it's a gift card on repeat. And she wants it. She likes that every year? I assume so.

Why don't you, I'll tell you what you should do, is actually sit down and go out and have dinner. And I think you need to ask her that question, but also the other 60 questions that we have. So Valentine's Day is an even opportunity for you guys to reassess your relationship goals and where are things at. Oh, Jesus, Bridget. That's a big sigh from John.

Re-evaluating your relationship today. Yes, yes. So the question I want you to ask your partners today is, when and how did you realise you were in love with me? Oh, I feel like some of us are going to come back single tomorrow. That is a big question. It's heavy. I thought this was just dinner.

But then if you like the answer, you can share a chocolate fondue together. And the mind boggles in terms of what's happened with that chocolate fondue. But it's interesting. What do you do with chocolate fondue? Are we still at a restaurant or are we at home? I got kicked out of Denny's for doing this. Sir, can you please put your pants on? Tell your wife this is a fully clothed restaurant.

Well, he could always go to a naked beach, couldn't you? Okay, all right. Okay, okay. Some good tips. Good tips. I'm going to go home and ask when and where did you realise you fell in love with me? And engage in some public acts of indecency. With some chocolate fondue.

Yes, I'm looking forward to hearing from all of you. I would like, that's your homework is to communicate back with me with how your Valentine's Day went. How does that sound? So, Jono will be single with third degree burns. Yeah.

You might not have to hear from us, Bridget. You'll probably read about us in the news. Bridget Jackson, we always love your time. Relationship coach, so good to talk to you again. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. We're getting your requests thanks to Chemist Warehouse, the home of fragrances,

this Valentine's Day on 4487. Yeah, Ben, we've also been adding a bit of personal flavour as well. Megan, you bared your soul at 6 o'clock sharing your song, which was Lana Del Rey. Young and beautiful. Will you still love me when I'm old, dried up and wrinkling? Agate. That Lana Del Rey song.

I went Fleetwood Mac everywhere. It was the wedding song. Now, Ben, it's time for you to be vulnerable, my friend. Yeah, I was going to like a song that reminds me of Amanda, my wife, is Jack Johnson. Now, our friend played this on guitar at our wedding when we were signing the registry. So it's a very, very cool song of Jack Johnson.

But also what reminds me of Amanda about this was because probably about six months after our wedding, we went to Fiji and saw Kelly Slater. And, you know, the surfing guy. The surfer, yeah. You know, shaved head, good looking guy. And trying to play it cool in front of Kelly Slater because, you know, big celebrity.

But my wife and I were like, oh my goodness. Oh, God. You know, and she was like, do you think I could ask for a photo? Oh, maybe I won't. And I'm like, I'll go up and ask him. I said, oh, hey, man, big fan. We're from New Zealand.

Do you mind if my wife gets a photo and she was like he was like yeah no worries and she goes it's so nice to meet you I love your music and he was like

what and she's like you're Jack Johnson and he was like oh no Kelly Slade and she's like oh I love you too

that's a great save so that's why I always reminded of Jack Johnson from my wife Amanda. I'm looking at Jack Johnson. There are similarities. So the two of you are fangirling over this person and none of you either.

I knew it was. But we didn't say who it was. You didn't say anyone's name. I didn't think it needed to be said. Kelly Slater's been surfing for many decades. Yeah, so that's why Jack Johnson's always special for us, Amanda and I. Shani, we're going to go to Auckland. Welcome to New Zealand's Breakfast.

How are you, Shan? Hi, I'm good, and yourself? Yeah, doing well. Okay, you want to request a song for your partner? What is it? Usher, I want to make love in this club. No. He never really stipulates what club he wants to make love in.

Is it the bowls club? The one he's in currently. And where? The cosy club? You're getting kicked out. Now, what song do you want to play for your partner? So the song that I requested was The Reason by Hubert Stank. Oh, great song.

The Reason by Hubert Stank. Much better than that. Yeah. Why is this a special song for you? So this is a special song because when we started dating, the song had just came out. And I think the word just symbolizes to us and it just made us better people for each other. So, yeah.

That is lovely, Shani. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. I just played something that was fed to me on Instagram, which I was calling probably the worst bit of advice that I've ever received from a motivational account. Have a listen. I talk about the difference between a 6 p.m. friend and a 3 a.m. friend. So there are guys that you can call or text until about 6 p.m., and if you need to help move in something or you need some advice,

they're available until about 6, and after that, oh, I'm just too busy. Then there's the guys that at 3 a.m., you're calling them. Not only do you know that they're available until about six and after that oh i'm just too busy then there's the guys at 3 a.m you're calling them not only do you know that they're going to answer but you're going to hear in the background them getting on their pants clicking their pistol in the appendix position and grabbing a shovel because you they assume that we're burying a body right that's just what they assume and they're down they're down to help you most men have zero of these guys there you go frightening frightening stuff and maybe you need to rethink your friend group if you call someone they're down they're down to help you most men have zero of these guys there you go frightening frightening stuff and uh maybe you need to rethink your friend group if you uh call someone it's three o'clock in the morning they're clocking again and getting a shovel he's like oh it's just

my my uber hasn't turned up i just need a lift to work but appreciate the uh the sentiment but then megan you went on to say that i have a barrier body friend someone you know like it's just it's a joke. But it's your friend that you can call for anything at any time, no questions asked. So you guys discuss,

it's not obviously the, but you just say, hey, at any stage, I'm there for you. You're a friend that would do anything for you at any time of the day. Out of interest,

where would you put the body? I don't know. I haven't thought that far ahead. They've just got a friend that would do it. I haven't thought about a murder weapon though. Is that weird?

Yeah. It's like ice because it dissol friend that would do it. I haven't thought about a murder weapon, though. Is that weird? Yeah. It's like ice because it dissolves. That is genius. I know. Genius. This break is just really incriminating. Very dark at 8.30 in the morning. We're all from Valentine's Day today.

We tried to get you to call your friend Ali and test this out at 7.30. Unfortunately, she didn't answer, so she wouldn't have been for you there in that case. But we're going to try again. Yeah. So something's happened. Maybe you've accidentally run over a dog's foot, okay, and you need help taking the dog to the vet. It could be the back story.

Yeah, you don't even have to say anything. Just test it. Just say that I'm in trouble and I need help. Okay. Okay, let's see. Okay, let's call your friend. Hello, Ellie speaking. Hi, it's me.

Hi. Hi. Do you know this number when you Google it is the Ministry of Justice? Oh, my God, what? That's weird. I was like, I'm in trouble. I've just gone into one of the other studios. Yeah.

I was wondering, can I – I've done gone into one of the other studios. Yeah. I was wondering, can I... I've done something really bad. Okay. Okay. Can you... I need, like, I need some help today. What do you need? But, like, no questions asked?

No Okay Can I come and see you like 10? Yeah Okay, cool This is Grant here from the Ministry of Justice This is going to be used as the Minister of Court case

I wonder why she's calling for the Ministry of Justice number It's because we currently have her this is going to be used as evidence in a court case. I wonder why she's calling for the Ministry of Justice number. It's because we currently have an investigation room. It's a both-year relationship. Wow, tight relationship, you guys, though. I said I had a barrier body friend. Yeah, no, she hasn't done anything wrong, as far as I know. My heart started racing.

I was like, I've done something bad. I was like what is it what is it yeah but no questions asked ellie would do whatever was required for him best mate she was a true friend but but what was the first thing that sprung to mind just out of curiosity? Murder. Not going to lie. Murder. She's capable. And you're like, absolutely, no questions asked. Wow,

this has been an eye-opener. On brand. Okay, well, there we go. Good friend, Megan. Now we are truly frightened of you, Megan.
