The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Thanks to Challenge, putting the service back into service stations.
Jono, I debuted something that I got given from my family, from my daughters, for my birthday, was some Crocs, a pair of...
White Crocs.
White Crocs.
With the gibbets, or the attachments that you...
The charms, whatever they're called, gibbets, charms, or something. I'm new to the croc game, but I've really gone from zero to 100, haven't I?
They're covered in all sorts of stuff.
That was all part of my present.
You were walking out yesterday to the cafe.
You're like, I had mentioned that I was looking at crocs,
but I hadn't really pictured crocs with decorations.
Straight away.
Full Christmas tree.
I thought I'd build up to that if I was going to go crocs.
So, yeah, it's been 24 hours.
Yesterday, I had it at the comfort of the studio,
and then I ended up walking across the road with you.
We went and got a hot drink, and I was like, oh, this is...
I kind of felt like eyes were judging.
They probably weren't.
Very self-conscious, I imagine.
It's like when I first started putting in these bloody Invisalign mouthguards,
and you're talking to people, and all you can think about in your head is like,
dear God, they're looking at these weird, shiny mouthguards.
You're all the same with, dear God, they're looking at these weird shiny mouth guards yeah you're the same with dear god they're looking
at my big white white crocs they're kind of the jono prior of the footwear world a little bit
quite white yeah like they're very very comfy actually very comfy i can see why they are they're
very popular as well but they are polarizing now we put a photo up on the hits breakfast on
instagram and facebook and what's. What are the comments like?
Because we've just come off tens of thousands of heartwarming comments with the Steve video.
We took Steve to the Warriors, Steve from Wendy's.
Beautiful comment, heart emojis.
Thousands of thousands of wonderful, wonderful comments.
Please tell me it's gone back to the good old-fashioned internet bullying that we all know and love.
Okay, well, let's have a look.
Let's read some comments out.
Kirstie says, whoa, so disappointed right now.
Yeah.
Not even angry.
Just disappointed.
Yeah, that's always the worst.
No mockery.
Lisa's got that whole thing where, you know,
with a picture, the emoji with the person that puts their hand to their face.
Like, oh, my God.
It just says never next to it.
Scott says, nice ice cream feet.
Hayley said, couldn't be more nay.
Sorry, mate, went on a first date and the guy turned up wearing Crocs.
The date did not last long.
Wow.
They're a big turn off.
Chris says, hell yeah.
That's good.
I know, but not out of the house.
Okay, there we go.
Debbie says, they're great for gardening.
Have I got gardening shoes?
Have I got...
Well, no, because, you know, you look at, like, Justin Bieber
I feel like Bieber wears them ironically
Yeah
And, you know, anyway, if they work for Justin Bieber
They can work for anyone below Justin Bieber's age
And for anyone above Justin Bieber's age
Gardening seems like the appropriate footwear
Oh, hey
And finally finally Karen says
Crocs would be great with my
Looney Tunes outfit for my school ball days.
Oh they really would have said that.
Now if you don't know the backstory there is a picture on the
It's Breakfast social media of that as well.
A duvet cover with Looney Tunes
characters turned into an outfit
for my school ball. Did your mum
wash the cover before making it into a suit?
Because I was a teenage boy.
Yeah it was,
that was, yeah,
that's not.
Well, listen, Ben,
at the end of the day,
if they make you feel comfortable
and they make you feel happy
and I can still openly mock you
on the radio,
no harm, no foul.
You keep wearing those, my friend.
The Hits,
the Jono and Ben podcast.
World Vision ad popped up last night
while I was having dinner and nothing makes you feel more guilty Ben podcast. World Vision ad popped up last night while I was having dinner,
and nothing makes you feel more guilty than watching a World Vision ad.
You're so full, you're like, I can't even put another mouthful in.
And really, just got reminiscing about the 40-hour famine with the family.
Now, you might remember this.
You'd go to the school hall,
and some poor teacher would be burdened with looking after
100 odd children.
Oh, so you didn't have a school?
I don't think we had this at the school.
Oh, yeah.
No, we went to the school hall on like a Friday night and all you'd do for 40 hours was get
jacked up on Herd's barley sugars.
Oh, so the whole school would do it together with you?
Yeah.
It was a wild time.
What did you do in Masterton?
Oh, the people just got, it was kind of more of an honesty thing.
You kind of do it.
Did you do it?
Well, I might have had a burger at the 20-hour mark, but yeah, let's just say.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I definitely did that all weekend, but here's my donations.
Yeah.
No, that's what, yeah, that's what I, that's all I remember.
That's, yeah.
Yeah.
I suppose it's good.
It keeps getting ironed, not ironed, everyone, but you're right, the poor teacher.
There was, yeah, there was a point there where I was like, what are these guys in Africa complaining about,
just eating barley sugars all the time?
Because I thought we were living their diet.
No.
Because, you know, the education hadn't quite washed all over me.
But now it's changed because I looked on the website last night
and now from starving yourself for 40 hours or getting lit in barley sugars,
now you can do 40 acts of kindness.
That's lovely.
Lovely, but you know.
Well, it's, yeah.
40 hours in ball gowns.
Yeah, well, yeah.
How about 40 hours using not your iPad,
not using your iPad for 40 hours?
Well, because I can imagine that once you've done the 40 hours,
well, one way, you're like.
What's happened to the famine?
But yeah, but it's different ways of doing it.
Because imagine year on year,
people might not do the same thing,
but now you're like, okay, I can go without.
Do you reckon there's some child in Sudan going,
oh, thanks for staying off your iPad for 48 hours, mate.
That means the world to me.
No, but...
Or you didn't play Candy Crush for 40 hours
I did on the phone
so
no
it's your iPad
no
no
but if you're raising
money for that
it's the important thing
you're right
the important thing
is raising money
it's the sentiment
behind the thing
not the actual
you're right
you're really right
you're right
but you're right
but you are right the money and the water supplies and But you're right But you are right
The money
And the water supplies
And what you're doing over there
That's the main thing
It's whatever way
Yes
And they have
I believe you mean
Whatever way to get the money
I'll shut my mouth then
Alright
The Hits
The Jono and Ben Podcast
Taylor
Montoya
You're coming here
You're into all that bloody
Eerie fairy nonsense aren't you
The moons
And the waters and the stars.
What's this about?
It's the biggest and brightest moon of the year.
Blue supermoon.
Bigger than the average moon.
Yeah, it's, I don't know, it's exciting, isn't it?
So just my warning is, like, because we're all water, right?
90% of water.
Here we go.
And so the moon affects the tides.
So obviously it's going to affect us.
So just take it easy today, guys.
Are you a star sign-y?
Yeah.
Sagittarius.
Yeah, full star sign.
But that's not what we're here to talk to you about
because you come over here from Australia,
from Cronulla in particular,
and you come over here speaking a whole lot of lingo,
local lingo from Cronulla.
We don't understand what it means, Ben.
Sometimes we do.
I mean, when you say use and stuff like that, I get that.
I get that.
But there's some other stuff that you do say from time to time where we're not understanding what's going on.
Right, right.
Yeah.
So I've written kind of like a little key list of words and what they mean just to help you guys out and to decipher my conversation as well.
Well, we did focus.
There were some complaints online, too, about you saying use. mean just to help you guys out and to decipher my conversations okay well we did focus there
were some uh complaints online too about you saying use and you're like everyone in australia
says it and we phoned we phoned cronella yesterday just to confirm this one of your locals is now our
producer taylor montoya yeah she's from cronella now taylor has come over here and she keeps saying
the word use as in use guys, use lot.
And she said it's a Cronulla thing.
Everyone in Cronulla says use.
No, it's more an Aussie thing than anything.
Oh, so everyone in Australia doing it.
I told you I wasn't lying when I said it's an Aussie thing.
It is, it's an Aussie thing.
Yeah.
The other one that she says all the time is set, set.
It's all set.
It's all set.
Yeah, it's all ready.
All ready to go.
Yeah.
And Kayla, they're also surprised when I say Shackers and Eshays as well.
Oh, I don't use Shackers so much, but Eshays, yeah.
Yeah, Eshays.
What is Eshays?
I'm getting Eshays.
I'm not getting on you about yeah, nah.
Yeah, true.
Good one, Kayla.
Yeah, we do.
Good yeah, nah.
Yeah, we do. We really confuse an answer with yeah, nah, don't we do a you good year now yeah we do we really confuse an
answer with yeah nah don't we yeah yeah nah so yeah and good shot fired back too with yeah nah
yeah yeah so you got some of these words for us so we can learn yeah all right so first up you
have heard eshays so i say that quite a lot and that kind of means so have you guys heard of the
term eshays as in somebody, like a lad?
Like an eshay lad?
No, I've never heard of eshay, no.
So that's where the word derives from, but now it's kind of slang for like, yeah, eshays, like cool.
Okay.
So it's like you're sort of, I was going to say it, I'm going to sound really lame, like your homie or something.
Your boy.
Yeah, I guess, yeah.
You could say that.
Not that I would say it.
Oh boy.
Is that what we're thinking? Yeah, it's like that. It's like your mate, you know, we're boys, that could say that. Not that I would say that. Oh boy. Is that what we're thinking?
Like it's like your mates.
It's like your mate, you know.
We're boys, that sort of thing.
Yeah.
Or people, like you say.
Chums of some description.
Next up is the 2230.
So everyone in Cronulla will know what you're talking about then
because that is the postcode.
So when you just say the 2230, you'd use that in a sentence to someone who's not from Cronulla will know what you're talking about then because that is the postcode. So when you just say the 2230,
you'd use that in a sentence to someone who's not from Cronulla.
Where are you from?
Oh, just the 2230.
Gotcha.
You know, I think we should get Ben to phone Cronulla
and use some of these lingos.
Oh, gosh.
You should phone up and talk about your ishays.
What else is going to fire in there?
All right, so dirty fuge.
So that derives from a nightclub in Cronulla called Fusions.
It's actually the first place I ever went out clubbing.
And I don't think it's there anymore,
but everyone knows the term dirty fuse
because where are you going this Saturday?
Oh, just a dirty fuse.
Yeah, okay.
Ben, you're going to have to call Cronulla,
and I know this will make him very nervous
because he doesn't know the full meaning of these terms.
No.
And he's worried he's going to be involved in a racism scandal.
Taylor has been with us for
a few months now on our show but
been over here in New Zealand for a year now
you were saying. Yeah. Yeah, a year this week.
Yep, congrats to me. Congratulations.
How are you finding it? Do you like the country?
Yes, I do. I love it.
Do you have to say that? I feel like you have to say that
for immigration purposes.
See how my voice didn't change a note right there.
Yeah, I love it.
Anyway, so you've come over here with some highfalutin lingo.
Local lingo from Cronulla where you're from.
And you can just fire out these words.
We don't know what any of them mean.
And we're going to get Ben to phone a bakery in Cronulla.
They'll be up now.
And try and insert some of this lingo.
So quickly, you'll be running me through some of this lingo. Okay. So quickly just go
you'll be running me
through some of this
stuff again but just
so everyone's up to
speed just quickly.
So Eshays,
Cool Sick,
2230 Cronulla
that's the Cronulla
postcode.
Shackers,
like yep,
Cheers,
Journey Fuge,
that's a nightclub.
Sounds like some
sort of move that's
anywhere but anyway.
Wrestle,
RSL,
ScoMo,
that's our ex-prime minister
who's from Cronulla
oh
there's a bit of a wife's tale
that he shit himself
at Ingerding
so
drop that one in
you'll be like
there's no time
okay
that sounds like
the Mountain Dew one
yeah
that really took on
a life of its own
like an urban legend
that never really happened
he came and he probably
had a hamburger and left.
Yeah, well.
He might have gone to the bathroom.
He was like, yeah.
On all those occasions, you go out and you're like, oh, that wasn't me.
But it's going to look like it was me situation.
Okay, so you reckon I'm good to go?
That'll get you by.
All right, I'm going to try and call Cronulla and try and speak like a local.
Hello, Cronulla, this is Cronulla speaking. Sh a local. Hey, Phil Canolari speaking.
Shuckers.
Hey.
Shuckers.
Hey.
Hey, hey.
Hey, I'm a new Eshay to the 2230, and I was just wondering if you could help me out with
a few things.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, up, up.
Up, up, Canola.
Up, up, Canola.
Up, up, Canola.
All day, all day.
Hey, I was actually thinking of going to the Rizzle tonight.
The where?
The Rizzle.
Oh, the RSL?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, I say Rizzle, but yeah, you say RSL.
But yeah, is Northies still having their gathos?
Um.
Should I go to Dirty Fuse? Sharkers!
Ummm...
Just say that this is next door.
It's like a cafe.
Okay, because ScoMo was saying I should go to the Mickey D's.
Oh, I probably wouldn't listen to what ScoMo said.
Okay, something about the bathroom or something like that.
Or I could whip over the bridge, whip past the servo.
You want anything?
No, I'm good, man.
Thank you.
Because I was going to grab my board and go out in the southerly.
That sounds good.
Shark is up, up.
All right, I'm going to get back to work.
How did I go?
You have a beautiful day
Would it shock you to know that I'm not from
Cronulla?
No, I'm not shocked
We're calling from New Zealand
As Jono and Ben here
We host a radio show
Our new producer Taylor Lombardi
She is from Cronulla
And she uses a large amount of lingo
That we don't have any idea what it means
so i tried to weave it into a conversation how did i go you went pretty all right ah shuckers up up
i'll catch i'll catch you back in the 2230 all right all right you do that man all right
oh is he one of you now? Welcome mate, welcome
I don't feel like they'd want me over there now
I sound very uncool, very unconfident
Father's Day happening this Sunday
Yeah we want to talk about gestures
You know gestures
Maybe the thought that counted
It didn't quite come off the nice gesture
Producer Joel We bring you on from time to time, don't you?
And you tried to do something lovely for your dad.
Yeah, my father was away.
Mike Harrison.
Mike Harrison.
Yep, number one listener of The Hits Breakfast.
Yeah, he was away.
So I was like, hey, the lawn's a bit long.
I'll take care of it.
Do the lawns.
Give you the weekend off.
Bit of an early Father's Day gift. Lovely thing. Actually, really lovely thing to do, you know? Yeah, and he's like, oh, I'll take care of it, do the lawns, give you the weekend off, bit of an early Father's Day gift.
Lovely thing.
Actually, really lovely thing to do, you know?
Yeah.
And he's like, oh, you don't have to because normally when you do them, I'm probably going
to go over and like fix it up again because you're not very good at doing them.
Imagine if he's a lawn guy, he's probably quite particular about, you know, the length,
the cut, what level you have it on.
Especially in winter, it's a bit wet.
I always do it too short.
But yeah, I went and did it.
It's a pretty small lawn we have as well so hang on so he's saying don't do it he's like you're like no no i'm gonna do it so you've gone against what he's even though lovely again lovely
gesture but you're like no i'll do it even though he said no i'll help him out for father's day
exactly and uh it's because we have quite a small lawn we have an old lawnmower it's like there's
no point of us getting a fancy new lawnmower
just because it's a very short job that only happens once every few weeks.
Yeah.
And it's hanging on with tape, rope.
It's like really last legs.
You sent us a photo of the lawnmower.
And it's a lawnmower that says, I've cut my last blade.
I can't do anymore.
I've done everything I can do for you.
And yeah, I think it was a wedding gift as well.
So like 25, almost 30 years old, the lawnmower.
And I got to that last turn.
Bang.
Snaps the steel.
It's like this is one you can't tie up unless you're a professional welder.
It's a steel on steel break.
And that's the end of the lawnmower.
So your gift for Father's Day is, well done, I gift you a lawnmower repair bill.
Yeah.
Mike Harrison, happy Father's Day.
Was he upset uh well i
told him when grace my girlfriend was in the room so the reaction wasn't really bad i was like hey
um took her in as a support person the lawnmower might not be working but uh the lawn's looking
good sort of i told you that not you know that were those situations gestures they sometimes
can't come for the most part they come off but every now and then, they don't. Just two days ago, it reminds me,
we were across the road at the cafe,
that scratch that we go to after the show, Ben,
just getting a coffee.
And there was a lady in front of us.
And she was having a hard time with the FPOS terminal.
Her card wasn't working or was declining or something.
And I was like, here is your chance to swoop on in as a hero you know one of those
moments of like oh my god I can't believe they stepped up and paid for and I was like a coffee
I can look after a coffee not like a supermarket bill or anything yeah and I was like I'll get it
for you and I pull out my thing and I'm gonna swipe the card she's swatting my hand away she's
like no no I'll pay for my coffee and I'm like I'm fighting back trying to pay for the coffee
until the point where the barista's like oh listen I think she wants to pay for my coffee. And I'm like, I'm fighting back trying to pay for the coffee. Until the point where the barista's like, oh, listen, I think she wants to pay for the coffee.
We're a pushy, aren't we?
A pushy.
I'm just like, let me pay for it.
Someone film this.
Put it on social media.
So, gestures gone wrong.
Have you tried to do something nice for someone?
A present for someone?
Or done something like John O just did and it hasn't quite worked out?
I imagine there'll be
many stories about
surprise parties going wrong
oh yeah
yeah
high risk
high risk the old
surprise party isn't it
and sometimes not
a huge reward
some people come in and go
oh
you should have just
told me about this
I would have prepared
oh I'm going to get changed
and oh
yeah you're right
but anyway
0800 the hits
now we're just talking about
good gestures gone bad.
Producer Joel tried to do an early Father's Day present for Mike Harrison
and broke the lawnmower.
Terrible gift, Joel.
What are you actually going to get him now?
Now you need to get him a new lawnmower for Father's Day.
Yeah, my sister's like, oh, what should I get Dad?
I was like, well, hey, you make a bit of money.
How much is a lawnmower these days?
Being born, she had a good gesture gone bad? Oh, well, just, I mean, bit of money. How much is a lawnmower these days? Ben Boyce, you had a good gesture going, Ben?
Oh, well, just, I mean, probably we've talked about it before,
and it brings up a lot of old wounds, the fry pan situation,
where I thought I was listening to something that my wife said we really need,
and I got a nice one.
But no matter how nice a fry pan is, it's just not,
there's never a time to give it as a gift.
It's a non-stick job as well, wasn't it?
It was top of the line.
Yeah. Although it stuck
to you, unlike the...
So that sucked around. That was meant to be a good
gesture, but it went terribly wrong.
Yeah, 0800 the hits, the telephone number, some
great texts here coming through on 4487.
A good gesture that went bad.
My uncle turned up two and a half
hours late for my grandmother's surprise birthday party
And he was mad that we didn't wait for him
Got upset that he was running late two and a half hours
I was organising Secret Santa for the whole office
Good gesture
When it came to the Secret Santa
No one bought me a present
Mari, welcome to the show
How are you?
Fine, thank you Missing the mark with the gesture.
We understand the recipient of the gesture was your three-year-old daughter.
Yep. Her grandmother was Portuguese. She used to get various different presents,
presents and letting my daughter open her Christmas presents. And she opened this one and it was like a sheep
and we were all
looking at it thinking
and she's saying
it's a balloon
it's a balloon
and looked at it
and thought
that's not a balloon
grabbed it off her
and realised
it was from
like a novelty sex shop
oh was it
a blow up sheep
it was indeed oh with allup sheep? It was indeed.
Oh, with all the...
I see.
It was a sheep if you wanted to get amorous.
Where did she go to buy this then?
I don't know.
Unless it was meant for someone else,
I really do not know.
Oh, that is brilliant.
Oh, there you go.
You put your poor daughter missing out
on the balloon sheep that year.
Maybe for the better, though.
But I really appreciate your call, Murray.
Have a good one.
And you.
Father's Day Sunday, isn't it?
And I saw, Ben, you were, before the show,
frantically packaging up a present for Kevin Boyce.
Yeah, I know.
I feel like I potentially left it a little late.
I've had it sitting in my bag for two or three days.
It's been busy.
But I've bought something.
Got to send it away.
Not to the ruin of the surprise for Kev. What are we's been busy. But I've bought something. Got to send it away. Not to the rule of surprise for Kev.
What are we talking?
Oh, I think it's something that would be actually quite,
I think you'll like this one.
I think you'll like this one because it's, yeah.
I liked it.
I don't want to give it away.
He got you a really good present.
He got you that fan.
Was it the fan that you plugged into your computer
via a USB cord?
So if you're feeling a little hot but not too hot,
you can hit the fan.
Don't expect like a
Yeah.
It's like a 92-year-old
blowing wind on you.
Isn't it?
But that was a really
good invention.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So Kevin Boyce
getting his present.
I just sent,
you know what I do
and it's lazy.
I feel bad.
I just sent John Boy,
my dad,
e-vouchers to things. Oh, wow my dad e-vouchers to things
because e-vouchers
are so
you can just bang
online
boom
in their inbox
you know
the admin is looked after
but the problem is
I tapped into this
about three years ago
and all they get is
e-vouchers
do they spend them though?
yeah
oh great
yeah there you go
yeah they use them
mate all they do is
go to lunch around Christchurch
yeah they make
so I'm like oh they use them and I don't know what else to get them.
Yeah.
Well, sometimes you want to get something.
I think that's the thing with presents.
You want to get something that they actually want,
and sometimes that's hard to find something that they want.
John Boy sent a lovely email back last night.
Hey.
Jonathan, thank you for the generous voucher.
It's already gone.
See, Father's Day, you've done.
You're like, man, it's Wednesday.
You're done.

We're doing well, mate. Your dad's claim to fame, what is it?
My dad's claim to fame is that he is the biggest Warriors fan in New Zealand.
Oh, I imagine there's a lot of other dads, you know, and mums as well, but dads out there
that would, could, Joel's looking at me now, you know. Producer Joel's a big Warriors fan,
but how big is your dad? Well, dad was at the first ever Warriors game,
and he has missed two home games since.
He's been to every single one.
And the only two he's missed, one was because I was being born,
and then one was because his granddaughter was being born.
Oh, my goodness.
So he's been to every single game apart from two at home?
Yeah, every single one.
So when they're in Wellington, he goes down to Wellington. Wow. He travels. Yeah, every single one. So when they're in Wellington, he goes down to Wellington.
He travels. Yeah, every single one.
That is great. Now, producer Joel, our Warriors statistician,
he's just done the maths.
298 games.
298!
So obviously he sees the membership.
He must get those every year.
Yeah, every year since they came out.
Maddy, he must be frothing about
this year. He is loving it.
He's loving life.
And he lives right by Mount Smart as well.
So it's so good for him.
Is he booking a ticket to the grand final?
He is.
He actually is.
Oh, he is?
He is.
He's just going on faith.
Faith alone.
Well, good on him.
That's very cool.
That is some commitment to the Warriors.
He would have seen some great times and some not so great times.
The only other people that committed to the Warriors are Vodafone and One New Zealand.
They're the only ones who have stuck through thick and thin as well.
Yeah, you're right.
Good on you.
Thank you for your call, mate.
Appreciate it.
No worries.
