Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome along to the show. The country hurting a wee bit after the All Black loss yesterday. It was a tough game, wasn't it? It was a really tough game to watch. We're all feeling a little bit down today. I think we're all preferred to be feeling hungover today after partying hard yesterday. But no matter how bad you feel, just imagine being one of the players, one of the team management, anyone part of the All Blacks squad. They would, no one is feeling more than them. Exactly, and I feel like we need to rally around them because you could see at the end of the game the tears in their eyes,
Starting point is 00:00:35 you know, the hurt. Oh, you didn't tell me we needed to rally around them. I've been bullying them online for the last 24 hours. Even the ref as well. And I know it was frustrating. It felt more like a game of cards than a game of rugby at some stage. But it feels like they're just refs. They're the laws of rugby.
Starting point is 00:00:51 If anything, you've got to pick holes in. That's it at the moment. They're kind of designed in a way that it can leave the game in the hands of the ref and the TMO. Yeah, well, I felt everyone was going, Wayne Barnes, Wayne Barnes. But he was just playing to the rules. Yeah. And there was a lot of, in his ear, that guy, the bloody nerd up in the box,
Starting point is 00:01:08 watching all the screens, he was talking in his ear while he's running around the field trying to referee a rugby game. As he's literally running. Really, something needs, hey, I'm no expert on rugby, but it feels like something needs to be addressed there. Exactly. Because they don't want,
Starting point is 00:01:21 they obviously were so frightened of any calls that they make mistakes on. So they've added this element in to have it just. And now the television match official has so much say in the match, you know. So it was tough. I really struggled to watch that second half. In the end, I just went, you know me, I love to pace. So I did the dishes.
Starting point is 00:01:40 I did the washing. Like 40 minutes for the end of it. I was disappointed at the end of the i like i was disappointed at the end of the game but i was at the same time i was like oh wow the house is pristine yeah my man and my wife was like just sit down i'm like no no i don't want to sit down i can't sit down so i was pacing i was doing stuff and yeah so in some ways it was was a positive for me at the end of the game uh the red card sam kane red card doesn't make no no sense to me. He was sent off for a yellow and then like,
Starting point is 00:02:06 hey guys, remember seven minutes ago when old mate did this thing? We're now going to give him a red. They upgraded that one. So they've just been like festering away on that in the TMO box.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Yeah, I think they put that up for the review or something. Everyone's like, what, what, what? He's not coming back on. So yeah, it was really gutting.
Starting point is 00:02:22 You know, we're going to go to Paris just after seven o'clock this morning for, what was it like? You made it sound, we're going to go to Paris just after 7 o'clock this morning. You made it sound like we're going to hop on a plane and go to Paris. Console the lads. Well, no, that'd be nice, isn't it? Yeah, we are really proud of the way they came.
Starting point is 00:02:33 You know, amazing turnaround over the last 12 months for Ian Foster, Sam Kane and the team. And, you know, I think we all got so much hope that they were going to win when we didn't have hope a year ago. So that's probably why everyone's so gutted this morning. And in saying that, hey, we're all feeling very sorry for the All Blacks, but I know many of them, including Ian Foster, said, hey, we had opportunities.
Starting point is 00:02:50 We had opportunities to win if you take all of the TMO nonsense out of it. And South Africa were very gracious in victory. They were, actually. Their captain's amazing. Yeah. I bought Whistle in today. From home. Do you want me to, you know?
Starting point is 00:03:03 Yeah. Now, before the show, you said maybe we should... I'm just going to pull you back there on that one, mate. I'm going to send that one upstairs, all right? Okay. Throughout the show today, I'll just, you know, I'll be keeping everyone in line. Any callers as well, so watch it.
Starting point is 00:03:16 Yeah, you watch it. I'll be using a lot of cards this morning. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Yeah, as you mentioned before, yeah, I don't like being boomered. When someone goes, oh, thanks, boomer, it really affects me. It does because you like to be across all the new trends. You even hopped on TikTok a little too early for IMO, in my opinion, but I mocked and ridiculed you off the platform,
Starting point is 00:03:39 and then I got on board with it. But, yeah, you do like to be across things, and you like to be across trends, social media platforms, because you don't want those ships to sail and you get left behind. And this is why it hurt me so much that someone I love called me a boomer and it happened when I was embracing new technology.
Starting point is 00:03:56 So what, the car stereo system that I've got at the moment, I've just discovered you can press a button and you can use Siri. You can talk toi and it will send messages and it will read back messages to you which is pretty cool not even through your phone so it's obviously connected through the phone but it goes through the car siri system so you press the button on the steering wheel i've just discovered and then siri you basically will
Starting point is 00:04:18 talk to siri and you'll go play a song or send a text or whatever you need to do so i'm like i'm embracing this new technology even though i'm quite fearful of Siri, I have it turned off on my phone because I don't like Siri listening to my conversations. He's also one of the most paranoid individuals when it comes to tech as well. Likes to embrace it but doesn't like it to invade his life too much. So in the car, I'm like, cool, I can use Siri. So my daughter, Sienna. Are you careful about what you talk about in the car now?
Starting point is 00:04:43 Yeah, just because I'm like she's got a serious listening like a mafia boss who thinks he's bloody been bugged I want Sienna to think I'm a lot cooler than I actually am and all sorts of stuff
Starting point is 00:04:51 you know we get out of the car and have conversations just so Sienna doesn't hear how's it hanging bro but yeah my daughter Sienna was getting
Starting point is 00:04:57 off the bus as she does after school the other day and she was texting me where she was going to where I was going to pick her up
Starting point is 00:05:02 from after the bus and I was like great Sienna was reading back the text and then Si said would you like to reply to sienna i'm like yeah sure and now in the past i have replied things through siri through this phone system and it has gone straight to the emoji like if you want to put an emoji of something you're like haha emoji like that so i just defaults when you've said, ha-ha, it'll have a look at you, right. So Sienna texts through, can you pick me up from this particular bus stop?
Starting point is 00:05:29 And I said, a thumbs up. And then Siri read it back, goes, would you like to send a thumbs up? I'm like, absolutely. Send it. Send away. Great. And then I get back a message through Siri,
Starting point is 00:05:40 through the voice going, ha-ha, boomer. I was like, what? What have I done? And I look like, what? What have I done? And I looked back. Siri, what have I done to you? Siri mocked me. I looked back at the phone and Sienna had mocked me as well. I was mocked by Siri and my daughter.
Starting point is 00:05:52 And it had just sent the message, no emoji, a thumbs up. Yeah. I'm like, oh. You did me dirty, Siri. Dogged me. Who sends a thumbs up as a message back to something? You just want to send the picture of a thumbs up, the emoji. I always find too with the whole talking to text thing,
Starting point is 00:06:11 it doesn't understand the New Zealand accent. It really doesn't. For me to actually send a text that, because I did talk to text for someone who was coming over to pick up some garden bins. Yeah. And I wanted to say, don't be shy. Just grab the garden bins. And then it had texted talking and went, don't be a dick.
Starting point is 00:06:34 Grab the garden bins. And I sent it off. I was like, dear God. I don't know this person. We are. We are. We're not going to do it. And you've got to do it with an American accent. Then they don't understand you.
Starting point is 00:06:44 They're like, hey, it's don't be shy. I'm like, we haven't quite nailed the tip just yet. It's the Jono and Ben podcast. So Rembrandt, so I'll be there for you, 708. Of course, that was the Friends theme song. It seemed only fitting to play it today after the very, very sad news over the weekend. I think it rattled and shocked a lot of people. Just at 54 years old, and it felt like with Matthew Perry, who played Chandler from Friends, passing away,
Starting point is 00:07:14 it felt like a lot of people felt like really, well, those people felt like you knew because you kind of grew up with him. It was kind of almost felt like he was our friend in a weird way, you know, because it was such a huge show for many, many years and still is. Yeah, we just spoke to Enti, who we talked to in Hollywood, just after 6 o'clock, and he just said it's just one of those people that when you hear of the passing, you're like, oh, man. Yeah. That sucks.
Starting point is 00:07:36 And he would say, obviously, he's publicly battled with his demons for many years, in and out of rehab 15 times. He spent $7 million on trying to get sober. So he obviously wanted to. Yeah, exactly. As you say, he had some issues with sobriety and also medication. He'd have a lot of medication. I think his stomach burst, his colon burst.
Starting point is 00:07:58 I was reading his book because he had so many pills in his system, and he went into a coma. His heart stopped for five minutes at one stage. He was taking 55 pills a day through it, and still doing Friends at the same time. Oh, this is during the Friends period. Yeah, and then afterwards as well, things kind of spiraled downhill. But such an iconic character on screen, so funny, so quick, so amazing.
Starting point is 00:08:19 But then to know that he had these horrible things going on to him personally behind the scenes, these demons that he was battling. It's really, really hard to hear. Well, because he was in his hot tub, wasn't he? He'd been playing pickleball or something, and you don't know what happened in the hot tub. Clearly he fell asleep, and you don't know why he fell asleep, but he was only sober for one season of Friends.
Starting point is 00:08:40 Yeah, Series 9, where he was nominated for an Emmy that season. Amazing, amazing actor as well, but just where he was nominated for an Emmy. Amazing, amazing actor as well, but just, yeah, really, really sad. Even that Friends reunion last year or two ago. I did feel sorry for him.
Starting point is 00:08:51 It kind of felt like, you know, it wasn't quite the same Matthew Perry that you knew and you love. And I know that time had passed for all the characters, you know,
Starting point is 00:08:58 it was a while ago, but it just didn't feel like he was quite. So what are you saying, the whole cast were looking worse for him? No, I was just saying, you know,
Starting point is 00:09:04 like everything, like everyone, things move on, you know, we all move on, looking worse for you? No, I was just saying, you know, like everything, like everyone, things move on, you know, we all move on, we all get older, but it just felt like he would, you know, some of the things that maybe he was dealing with as well, you could kind of feel like it was still with him. And there was a moment too, and they're like, oh, do you all keep in touch? He's like, no one calls me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:18 And you're like, oh. I think Jennifer Anderson still kept in touch with him and checked in on him. And when he was writing his book just a couple of years ago, he was asked for some life advice, and he actually gave some wonderful advice to people who are battling, who are battling with things. I've been asked to give any general life advice, which is kind of funny that I've been asked to do that.
Starting point is 00:09:40 I want people to understand that they're not alone, that there are other people feeling exactly the way they're feeling, that their behavior is not insane, that they have a disease, and it's not their fault. There's a very famous kind of line that people don't change. I happen to know that people do change, and I see that every day.
Starting point is 00:10:04 That's Matthew Perry, 54 years old, so sad, so young. Yeah, it was always there with the jazzy music in the background. It kind of felt like a music you'd play if you're watching like a property investment thing. Buy a townhouse here, we're going to miss him. And I'm sure lots of people will be sharing their memories and reflecting on Matthew Perry's life as well in the coming days. The hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
Starting point is 00:10:27 Now, Halloween tomorrow, and my kids, like your kids, are very, very excited by it. It's a huge, huge time in our household. It does. It buys you a little bit of time and concentration taking away from Christmas, doesn't it, leading into December. Yeah. It's a bit of a smoke screen, so you don't have such an eight-week runway to the 25th of December.
Starting point is 00:10:47 So yeah, you're getting involved tomorrow night. You like costumes. I do. It's prime time for you. Are you heading out? Yeah, heading out. Got costumes as well. Not all the parents do costumes, but I'm like, damn right.
Starting point is 00:10:56 I did order them from the internet weeks ago. What are we going this year? Mander and I, we've got the full rollerblading Barbie and Ken outfit. Oh, nice. On rollerblades? The florals. We've both got rollerblades. Yeah, we've got rollerblades. Are Barbie and Ken outfit. Oh, nice. On rollerblades? The fluoros. We've both got rollerblades. Yeah, we've got rollerblades.
Starting point is 00:11:07 You're going trick or treating on rollerblades. Well, I don't know if I'll go the whole time on rollerblades because they're kind of the kids' ones, so I have to really jam my feet into them. Hold on. I've just got ACC on the other line here. They're like, that's a terrible idea. Yeah. And one of my daughters, Indy, really, really wants to watch a movie that I've said is far
Starting point is 00:11:21 too old for her. It's the movie Scream. And we all would have seen it, the iconic movie with Ghostface the Killer, and this is her talking about it. So what would you like to watch? I want to watch Scream 1, please. No.
Starting point is 00:11:36 But why not? Well, because it's, like it says, age 16 and over. I know, but I'm like basically 16, you know? No, you're not. Like basically. No, you're not basically 16 at all, and you're like what's it going to be like? Well, I can't be you, but
Starting point is 00:11:51 once you've seen that, you can't take it back. I know, but I can just close my eyes and block my ears on like the scary, gory parts. I tried to give you a fright, did that work? Kind of. Yeah, so that's one of the things I keep explaining, because my kids will often say to you, what's it like?
Starting point is 00:12:07 And you don't know what someone else's experience of a movie is going to be like. And how is 11 and basically 16? Where's the logic in that? No, there's no logic in it. We actually spoke to, Roger Miller's his name. He was the voice of the killer, Ghostface, in the Scream movies.
Starting point is 00:12:24 And he talked about how he came up with the voice of the killer, Ghostface, in the Scream movies, and he talked about how he came up with the voice. They'd like a warm voice, you know, something kind of, hey, oh, you're going to be making popcorn. I only make popcorn when I'm going to watch a movie. Oh, you're watching a movie? Oh, you like scary movies? What's your favorite scary movie? So it's got to be kind of interesting and have that warmth and colour to it.
Starting point is 00:12:47 He was a lovely gentleman, but geez, he really, he could turn on you, that sweet voiceover actor. Like he could turn from a sweet voiceover actor to someone who would wear your skin. I know. That sort of thing.
Starting point is 00:12:57 Amazing voice. So I've said no to that movie because I know there's movies out there you watch as a kid and I had it happen to me that you watch and it affects you. It scars you for life. Yeah, it does.
Starting point is 00:13:07 And it triggers you for all years to come, doesn't it? One thing that annoys me about Scream, so we'll just go back to Scream, is, is it Neve Campbell? Yeah. She's the main actor. Yeah. She really engages in the bloody phone conversation at the top. Oh, that was Drew Barrymore right at the top.
Starting point is 00:13:21 Was it Drew Barrymore? Yeah, yeah. Why is she like, I don't even answer a private number. She's talking to Gary. Hey, Gary, how you going? She's happily having a, oh, hi, what's my favorite movie? Like, hang up. Yeah, yeah, true.
Starting point is 00:13:32 You're right. Long time in that conversation at the top. But we want to know, I went under the hits this morning, 4487, what's the movie that you watched and you probably shouldn't have watched and you regretted watching as a child? Nightmare on Elm Street for me was one that older cousins are watching. Oh, Freddy Krueger. Freddy Krueger. Yeah. And itm Street for me was one that older cousins are watching.
Starting point is 00:13:45 Oh, Freddy Krueger. Freddy Krueger. And it was just like, it comes to you in your dreams. And so try and go to sleep after watching that. It was very, very hard. Tell you what's a nightmare, Freddy Krueger trying to use a phone.
Starting point is 00:13:55 See his bloody hands? Yeah. Is he the one with the bloody sharp knives for hands? So, O-A-N-D-O-R-E-S. O-A-N-D-R-E-D-E-R-E-D-E-T-S-4-4-8-7. The movie that scarred you for life would love to hear from you ahead of halloween the hits the jonah and ben podcast it is halloween tomorrow and it feels like kids around the country uh very very excited my house my whole hallway we
Starting point is 00:14:15 decorated that and it feels like you have to the limbo now getting under all the caution tape and all the things and cobwebs just to get from one end of the house to the other. We're the same. We've got polystyrene sort of tombstones littering the hallway. But I keep standing on them and snapping them in two. And the dog starts eating the polystyrene. So it's a bit, you know, Halloween decorations, not conducive for dogs. No, you're right. So we're just talking about the movies that sort of scarred your childhood.
Starting point is 00:14:40 And it wasn't a movie for me. I don't even know. This is very specific. There was a TV series I remember called for me i don't even know this is very specific there was a tv series i remember called v and i only i like the only thing i remember from v and it was because my young little mind was not developed enough to process what was happening is these people on a spaceship like deep throating rodents and eating them and it traumatised me. I haven't eaten one rodent since. No, all the nutrients you're missing out on, not eating the rodents. Shani with us on 0800 The Hits.
Starting point is 00:15:10 Thank you for joining us. Welcome. Hi, thank you. No, hi, thanking you. Yeah, thank you. We're talking movies and TV shows you watched as a kid and potentially scarred you for life. What was it for you?
Starting point is 00:15:23 Definitely the Chucky movie oh yeah that that ruined me that yeah and the worst thing was i wasn't meant to be watching it i've snuck into the lounge and was hiding behind the couch and watching it while my mum was watching it but then i had to yeah with the nightmares she ended up finding out i'd seen it oh scary little doll chucky wasn't it yeah man he was awful flaming red hair so it was a little dull, Chucky, wasn't it? Yeah, man, he was awful. Flaming red hair, sort of. He was a little traumatised, wasn't he? He was like a little Chris Hipkins, wasn't he? Spreading his legs and his arms and stabbing people.
Starting point is 00:15:52 Now, did you realise as a child there was an option to walk away and not continue watching the movie? I was too scared by that point. I was hiding by the couch. I didn't know if he was already in my room. Yeah, well, that's the problem. See, my daughter wants to watch the Scream movies. I'm like, oh. I didn't know if he was already in my room. Yeah, well, that's the problem. See, my daughter wants to watch the Scream movies. I'm like, oh, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:16:09 And it's very hard to gauge if they're – well, firstly, they're not appropriate for her age. But then she's like, well, how will they be? And I don't know. I don't know how she would be if she watched it. Yeah, it depends on her imagination, I suppose. And she can separate things. A good way to test it to see if she's ready to watch these movies, Ben, is you put on a screen mask and wake her up in the middle of the night.
Starting point is 00:16:30 Yeah, okay. And if she doesn't flinch, she doesn't flinch, you're like, oh, no, you're good to go. You're good to go. All right, middle of the night, I'll do that. That might not be an age thing. Only a couple of years ago, my mum, I was sitting on the couch with my son, and my mum thought she'd be funny, and she popped around the corner with a screen mask on, like absolutely pats myself and punched her in the face.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Oh, you punched your mum in the face? Yeah, I just panicked. I completely panicked. I was sitting there next to my little boy, and I just, it was dangerous. My mum reacted, and my mum got caught. See, now you're clearly not ready to see the screen movies. You're not fit. Hey, good on you, Sharni.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Really appreciate your time. Tash, how are you? Hey, Jono. I'm good, actually. How are you? You can tell it's like my mate, Omar. What's going on? Do you need to run and escape from somewhere right now? Is there a building you need to get out of? I can't really get out
Starting point is 00:17:20 of this, but you've got me for two minutes while I wrap up my sandwiches and then I've got... Okay, we're in wrap up my sandwiches and then i've got okay we're in school lunch mode in the morning okay so we understand the movie for you that you watched as a kid and traumatized you was jaws yeah how old were you i was 11. what how did this does this affect you when you want to go in the ocean um well yeah my my now husband, we went to West Shore Beach on one of our dates, and he knew about my phobia about the sea, and I was like, yeah, I really like you, so I'm going to go with you,
Starting point is 00:17:52 and he pointed out the sea, and he said that I walked on water when I was getting out of there, because when he pointed out, he's like, shut! And I was like, you asshole! You know, I forgave him, we got married. Yeah, well, now you're married. You have a morbid fear of slow-moving, clunky, mechanical sharks from the 80s. Yes.
Starting point is 00:18:12 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You look back at Jaws now and you go, oh, that's... Yeah, why was I scared of that? But as a kid back then, a singer, I understand. Hey, I know you're on school lunch. What's in the semis?
Starting point is 00:18:24 This one's egg stolen and then I've got a couple of barbecue chickens. Ooh, barbecue. Fix us up another one. I'd love one of those. Thank you so much for your call. No worries. Have a good day, guys. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Of course, very, very tight and pulsating rugby World Cup final. Yeah, I used the word pulsating. Tight and pulsating. Tired of pulsating. Over the weekend. It was very tense, wasn't it? And South Africa, heartbreaking loss for New Zealand. But well done to them. Very gracious in their victory.
Starting point is 00:18:54 Yeah. And on Friday, we're forecasting Monday we're going to have to try and get hold of players. And you're like, we're never going to be able to get hold of any players. And I was like, what about Ian Foster? You're like, you're an idiot. Not even the NZRU can get hold of Ian Foster. Yeah, win, lose, or draw, we were like, yeah, Ian Foster is,
Starting point is 00:19:11 yeah, other side of the world. He's finished his job. And well done to him. Well done. We're proud of the team. Absolutely. And everyone got him behind the team and it was so heartbreaking because there was a great chance we got a win
Starting point is 00:19:21 and we're really proud of what they've done over the last 12 months. No one wanted to go out there and lose. No. And so we're like, okay, OK, OK, get Ian Foster. Next best thing, Sam Kane. No, can't get him. Brady Rutelic, can't get him either. So then the next best thing was phoning someone with the name Ian Foster.
Starting point is 00:19:35 Yeah. So we went through the white pages, and we found one. We found it, Ian Foster in New Zealand. Have a listen. Hello? Hello, is Ian there please Just a moment We've got him Ben
Starting point is 00:19:48 We've got the big guy Who would have thought it would be so easy Hello is that Ian Ian Foster We got you but good luck for the rugby world cup final This weekend Oh thanks I've told the boys I've told them
Starting point is 00:20:04 Don't kick for territory. Just a little up and under to give the opposition the ball back in our own half. And then I told them, listen, when they've got the ball, let's just look at them run around
Starting point is 00:20:20 for a while. Okay. I feel like you're giving us a lot of your tactics, but this is good. This is good. You're an open book, Ian Foster. Are you on speakerphone? We're on, it's Jono and Ben. We're calling from the Hits. The Hits radio station.
Starting point is 00:20:33 We are. We couldn't get, well, we couldn't get Ian Foster in France when we thought we'd get, well, I'm going to say the next best thing.
Starting point is 00:20:40 I would say it's better than Ian Foster in France. We got you. You're definitely more accessible. Tell me more. What's going on? Why don't you tell us more? I've just told you.
Starting point is 00:20:51 He's dished the dirt on all the tactics. What is it like having the same name as Ian Foster? It's pretty good. Yeah, pretty good? Yeah, it's real good. What does it get you? Does it get you anything? I can put up Facebook posts and say what I like.
Starting point is 00:21:07 It was like, wow, Ian Foster. He's saying some stuff. You've got some controversial opinions. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've had some controversial opinions. Hey, Ian Foster, it has been an honour and probably the greatest Ian Foster we'll ever talk to. That's right. Thank you very much. There we go. Ian Foster, not the Ian Foster, it has been an honour and probably the greatest Ian Foster we'll ever talk to. That's right.
Starting point is 00:21:25 Thank you very much. There we go, Ian Foster, not the Ian Foster that we wanted. Well, no. Our favourite Ian Foster. That's right, we're both proud of all the Ian Fosters, put it that way. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. I had dinner with a friend and he used to work as a waiter. Okay. Now, for many years, he found a glitch in the matrix because he would work Saturday nights, Friday nights,
Starting point is 00:21:54 and it was a restaurant that was very, very busy. Right. Some Saturdays he'd be like, oh, I don't feel like a busy night at work. So what he would do is he would make online bookings under multiple aliases. So four or five tables worth.
Starting point is 00:22:12 So the restaurant when he turned up would be quieter. But then no one would obviously turn up for their bookings.
