The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Thanks to Challenge, putting the service back into service stations. First of December this morning, which is pretty cool. It feels like now we can officially start the countdown to Christmas. We went kind of early here at The Hits, but hey, that's right. Everyone does, everyone says we're not going to go early this year, the malls go too early. This is a common complaint, it's just copy and paste the complaints every 12 months, isn't it? Yeah. But we don't change anything? No.

Unapologetically? Yeah. Then I was, you know, we were at the Farmers' Santa Parade the other weekend, and we're talking to Megan Pappas, who's joining us on the show next year. And she was like, I've had my Christmas tree out for like a month. Yeah, November 1st, she gets it up. And she's like, why not get into the Christmas spirit early? Like, why not?

If you can. And I'm like, I guess I can't argue with that. I guess the other, why do people get grubby about it too? It doesn't really affect you in any way. No, it's like, oh, you put your tree up. Don't put your tree up. But we have got something pretty cool just in time for Christmas is this. I like the way you glaze it.

No biggity. I want to bag it up. Thanks to Farmlands, we've got some Friday hams We like to do every Friday at the moment And we've got a whole lot of hams Thanks to Farmland Foods hams We have 60 in total to give away over four weeks Because they are celebrating 60 years

So thank you so much It's such a generous thing for Farmland Foods You can find them wherever you get your hams But right now you can get it It's not out of the kindness farmland food so you can find them wherever you get your hams but right now you can get it. It's not out of the kindness of their heart, mate. We're charging them for it. No, but still,

they don't have to give away that much. It's very nice. How often does someone ever give away? They might go, oh, you've got one to give away. Yeah, you're right. That's super generous.

60 hams. We've got enough hams to last us until Christmas 2056. If we get them. But we're not. No. Because we're generous people giving them away.

The deal is, you can't just phone up And get a ham though You've got to tell us A fun fact about yourself Okay Which is a lot of pressure To put on someone It is a lot of pressure

No, fair enough. Well, you can't lick your elbow, but Emily, you're going to get a ham for that fun fact. Fantastic. Thanks, guys. Yeah, it's ham-tastic.

We're saying this morning, why don't you get a ham? That's it. That's how we do it. We've got another 14 to get rid of. Yeah. Farmland Foods.

The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. Now 2024 fast approaching. And we want to know what's coming up, Ben Boyce. So we can plan for the year ahead, don't we? Yeah. And that's why we've managed to get a psychic medium. She knew we were calling.

She did? Before we even knew we were going to call. She's like, hello, Ben. Hello, Jono. I was expecting this call. Kerry Marie's her name. Hi, how are you? We're doing all right.

Nice to talk to you. Is this Jono? Yeah, nice to talk to you. Is this Jono? Is that? Oh, to you, this is Jono, is it? Oh, it's both It's both I just want to distinguish for your voices Okay, well, given you're a psychic

Can you predict who's talking now? I thought it was Jono Yeah, well done Bloody good, your job, mate Thank you So how long have you been working as a psychic? I'd say about 25 years. How did you know you had this sort of inkling?

I had lots of spooky things happen as a child. And I sort of had an imaginary friend and all that sort of thing, how kids do. And then it wasn't until my mid-duties when it all started changing, yeah. What was it? You just had inklings? You could see what was going to happen in situations or what i think i just had like really strong gut feelings and intuition about lots of things throughout my whole life and i used to see spirits as well oh really like ghosts yeah yeah i

used to say i saw my cousin um i told my parents he just had a car accident and i didn't believe him but he had yeah i saw him straight away he'd had it that accident and they didn't believe him, but he had, yeah. They saw him straight away. He'd had it, but no one knew. No one knew. So when you're walking through, let's say you're doing your shopping, supermarket shopping, can you see dead people everywhere? No, it's not like that. As you get older, it's different actually.

But I just sort of tune in through my senses, that sensitivity, and I can sort of feel people. If I want to go, it's like on the radio, you into the radio you know so I just go about my normal life just like anybody else what's the stuff can you use this for because I guess that's what people would say they're like oh can you predict the lotto numbers or can you you know I just get that I rub the World Cup right I'm not and I knew exactly who's gonna win really it's all I get it all the time you only get it sometimes we're going back to Ben's question the lotto numbers why not exactly who's going to win. Oh, really? But you don't get it all the time. You only get it sometimes. Going back to Ben's question,

the lotto numbers. No, I'm not quite good at that. That doesn't work like that. Why not? Because you're not supposed to get it. You get the information. I suppose it's like the radio, isn't it? You turn the radio on,

I can't decide what song I'm going to play. Yeah, I have no control over it. It's a bit like that. So what about, like, if we chuck some things at you, what do you get? If we said, okay, let's look at,

Producer Joel, like myself, big fan of the Warriors league team. I mean, do we have any feelings that the Warriors are going to, is it going to be our year next year? All I'm getting for the Warriors is when you ask me that, I just get clappy hands. So I just get, I see clappy hands. Clappy hands. Oh, you get a clap, because they won the championship.

Now see, I'm reading something more into this. I'm really happy and, yeah. Happy? Happy and clappy hands for the Warriors. Rock solid. Rock solid information. Okay, the next one, the US election. Oh, my goodness.

Getting anything for that? I just don't think it's going to be very good at all. No. It doesn't feel. A lot of people need support. It doesn't feel. It feels like dreading it. Okay, Taylor Swift.

Taylor Swift, she's in a new relationship with Travis Kelsey. He's a footballer. I want it to last. Is it going to last? I do think it's going to in the meantime. I just feel like I just get like a whirlwind of moments. A whirl, okay. It's going to in the meantime, but will it last?

Is it a whirlwind of romance? Ben Boyce, what prediction do you have for Ben Boyce 2024? Ben, okay. So Ben is going to make a lot. I feel good. He's got potential to make a lot of money next year. Great. Talk to me more.

Come on. And he's going to make some good decisions at the end of the year as well. Make some good decisions. Very good. Got potential. Don't say you're going to. Yeah, I know there's potential. Yeah, I get potential there.

Predictions for me. My name's Jono. I know, Jono. Jono, I think you's potential. Yeah, I get all this potential there. Predictions for me. My name's Jono. I know, Jono. Jono, I think you're exhausted and tired, and I think you're going to take quite a bit of time out. And you're going to catch up with the older family members. What? Jono needs some time out.

He does need some time out, you're right. My mate over here is going to make a butt-ton of money. Well, my potential. I'm just going to be exhausted and tired. You're always going on about how you're tired. On a Monday, it's like, oh, I'm tired, yeah. I think it's Monday. Now, producer Taylor, come on in.

She is right into all of this stuff. What do I want to ask you? Hey, Taylor. What does Taylor want to know? I just want to know what 2024 looks like for me. Oh, I think that. I don't know if you're in a relationship relationship looks fantastic for you a bit upside down but relationship's fantastic for you next

you're done very lovely talk to you have a great 2024 thank you thank you the hits the Jono and Ben podcast

I had a little moment yesterday where I had a lot going on a lot of things to do I had to take my car in and I had to basically rent a car for a couple of days because my car is going to take my car in, and I had to basically rent a car for a couple of days because my car's going to be in,

getting some work done. And, you know, when you're running around, you're trying to do stuff, and I kind of felt like maybe we're like this. When someone's joking and you're not in the mood for joking, you know, like I went to this rental car place, and the guy was very friendly, but I didn't have all the proper forms that I needed for it, and I was like, oh, so I had to go away and come back. And when I came back, my tolerance for joking wasn't quite there,

wasn't quite my usual tolerance. And because we're jokey, we're seen as jokey people, people want to joke with us. Yeah, but when you go to rent a car, you're never in peak performance, are you? You're either jet lagged from a flight or you're going there because your real car's out of action. It's never like prime happy conditions to read the guy and i'm looking back i was like oh he had some good

he had lines he had lines he'd used before because they had the kids with me and he's like you know there's no pets in the car but before you ask the kids don't class as pets you know things like that you know i had all these little these things and i i wasn't giving him much but he was like yep yep cool just get and the more i didn't give him much, but he was, I was like, yep, yep, cool. Just get, and the more I didn't give him much, the more he leaned into his humor. And then afterwards I was like, oh geez, maybe I didn't, maybe I came across as. It reminds me of when we just phone people

for this radio show, you know, we'll phone a cafe and try and insert some ham puns or something. You're like really inconveniencing people's days. And this is, you were feeling that bite. And afterwards I walked away thinking the same thing i'm like oh that's what we are like to people yeah just as annoying just as frustrating so i apologize if he's listening right now do you apologize to uh you know decades and decades of people that were frustrated on the street i was

going to more apologize to him for not laughing but you're right that's apologize apology yeah public apologize yeah because i do actually remember when we used to harass people on the street for comedy for the TV show and you know it was normally a little bit of a fun

but one time you harassed someone who was like a charity worker and he was in the middle of a like a sale yeah we were in

Hamilton weren't we and then you went and then the sale kind of ended because you came and did whatever idiotic thing you were meant to do

on the street and so you went away I think it was like could you put your nose on their back well they had their noses so I had my nose Because you came and did whatever idiotic thing you were meant to do on the street. And so you went away. I think it was like, could you put your nose on their back? Well, they had their nose. So I had my nose attached to his back. You're like that. And then you came back later and you went, hey, sorry about that.

It's just for, you know, TV thing. And he goes, you're not sorry. You meant to do that. And you had no answer to that. You're like, oh, I wasn't. Yeah, he's dead right. I did mean to do that. I did mean to have my nose on your back.

And he's like, you just lost me a sale. Yeah, I know. And I was like, oh, that really, you're like,

oh, what are we doing with our lives? Those are the moments. And so, yeah, we apologise to all those fine people

over the years. Sad mother. Who's having the best weekend? And as they join us, as they always do, every morning, we'll start with you,

Hayley. Good morning, Hayley. How are you doing? Lovely to have you both on. Our favourite part of the week is definitely the top ten parts of the week that we enjoy. You've made the top ten. Best weekend for you, Hayley, in the north. What's going on?

Wow. Whangaparoa in the RSA Club. It is all happening tonight. A classic hoedown at the ranch. Love a ho happening tonight. A classic hoedown at the ranch. Love a hoedown. Love a hoedown. The synchronised dancing always really impresses me. You know when

they do the line dancing and everyone knows the moves. It's like a high school musical situation. We actually saw one at a pub the other day and my daughter went, oh this is like TikTok for old people. And I was like, oh yeah yeah, I guess it is. It was a little slower.

It was a little more. TikTok for old people. And it was a lot longer than 20 seconds. Yeah, and I was like, yeah, it probably is. And it looked fun. Don't get me wrong. It looked fun. They say they're going to teach you easy square dancing.

They say dress up in cowboy attire. They've got a lasso competition arm wrestling. But can you help me out with this? They say showcase your broomstick skills and be crowned to the best in the town. What are broomstick skills? I imagine you're straddling a broomstick and sort of treating it like a horse maybe. Would you have a broomstick between your legs, Ben? Yeah, maybe.

Your broomstick skills? Yeah, I kind of imagined a hoedown merging with like a Harry Potter fan club. That makes more sense. There we go. TikTok for the older generation at the RSA. What else is going on, Hayley? And then Thorndon Fair in Wellington.

They have this iconic fair since 1977, so it's been running over a quarter of a century. 20,000 people are expected on that on Sunday, and it's all raising money for Thorndon School fundraiser. Everything comes alive. There's stores, food, music, everything. OK, we've got the fundraiser for the school. We've got hoedowns at the RSA in the north.

Connor, what's happening with you, mate? Well, I mean, I lived in Gore. I know exactly what you mean to do with hoedowns and broomsticks. I can tell you that another time, though. I mean, it's not for boomers. It's for people of all ages. What do you do with the broomsticks? Yeah, you put it between your legs and you just kind of got to dance.

Yeah, I don't really. You got to dance with it. Tell you what, Ben Bush, you know your way around a broomstick, don't you? I've seen you do some great stuff at the Christmas parties. Now, Connor, what's happening in the South, mate? It's a Christmas theme this weekend right across the South Island. I feel like you two, with your illustrious careers, would have lit a Christmas tree at some point of some sort.

No, we've never been asked to. No. We've wrapped presents at malls. What else have we done? We've visited hospitals. Yeah. We lit a Christmas tree. We waved on a float.

That'd be nice. It'd be nice to turn the button on for a Christmas tree? Well, you can do both of those things. Done is the octagon. I'm looking here, they haven't got anyone actually to light the Christmas tree itself. So if you want to get down to Dunedin tomorrow night, 9.30pm, they light the Christmas tree and the octagon. Then on Saturday as well in Christchurch, well, Kaipoi, just outside of Christchurch,

it's the Christmas carnival and the Santa parade. So you can quickly do the float in Kaipoi maybe, wave, kiss babies, shake hands, and then we'll get you a flight straight down to Dunedin to light the Christmas tree. What do you reckon? Tell you what, I'm on board. Oh, well, no, I probably won't be able to make those, to be honest. We've got a lot of stuff going on. Connor, we went to the Santa Parade last weekend.

I know Christchurch had one. You just don't get a happier bunch of people than you do than waving happy families at a Santa Parade. There wasn't one miserable face I saw there. I remember one year I was doing it in Gore. I was throwing lollies out to the children. The children were happy, but a woman behind me was yelling at me because she was scared we were going to run the kids over

or something like that. I don't know what was going on. It really puts a dampener on the parade when you're running the kids over. But also, actually, when you do throw lollies out, they come at you like a Macintosh coming at you at a rate of knots. It's like a mini pebble. Yeah, I don't think they do that anymore for any good reason, right? You just stick to the underarm, not the overarm.

Oh, yeah, Macintosh is like bullets. Hey, Connor, well, hey, Connor? Well, listen, Hayley and Connor, we like to award a winner every week for the best weekend. And Connor, just because Hayley's hung up, you've won by default this week, buddy. Yes! Yeah, take a look back. And given it's Christmas time, Ben, we thought we would... Look at the old Crisco lady. Remember the Crisco lady from the Crisco hamper commercials?

Have you enjoyed the sheer magic of opening a Crisco hamper at your place yet? Magic Crisco lady. No, it felt like Crisco popped up just at Christmas. But they're still around. They're still doing not only hampers, but they do also, like, you go online, you can do anything. You can buy a PlayStation, you can buy an iPhone,

you can play all sorts of places. Through the Crisco website. Yeah, like, they're not just a hamper. There's also that, but they're also, yeah, just looking into it. They also still do hampers, but they also just sell, like, the warehouse or other things as well.

They just sell bits online. And Crisco Lady, she was like everybody's grandmother, wasn't she? Yeah, she was. Such a lovely, like Mrs. Claus. Whatever happened to her? She's all right. I'm just reading an article. Yeah, she's still acting.

She's doing stuff at the Howick Theatre at the moment. She's got auditions and stuff. They just did an article on her a couple years ago. She was only the Crisco lady, I think, for three years here in New Zealand. But she became so iconic that when they got rid of her from the ads, it went in a new direction.

People were like, well, I'm not signing back up to Crisco. Until the Crisco's lady. Bring the lady back. But they didn't bring her back. She's like, it's fine. I'm a working actor.

I've got other gigs. Yeah, but it made it feel like it was a New Zealand company. But it actually exists overseas as well. Crisco's lady, Brisco's lady. Put your vote in. overseas as well Crisco's lady Brisco's lady put your vote in I'd go Brisco's

just because the longevity she's got a special both have a special place in my heart so the Brisco's lady has more

of your heart yeah occupied I'd say 80% 20% split oh 80% 20% yeah well Crisco it's your grade

so you're wrong but yeah but it was yeah yeah well Crisco it's your grade don't get me wrong but you know but it was yeah so you would buy it was like an auntie you turned up every six months Crisco for

as far as I understand for you know for Christmas was what you would pay throughout the year through a hamper so instead of paying all at once

for all this food and stuff to arrive it would be quite expensive you'd pay it in installments and then bang all the stuff would arrive and it would be a great surprise I never knew anyone who and then bang all the stuff would arrive and it would be a great surprise

I never knew anyone who got a Crisco hamper I heard someone talking about it on the radio the other day did anyone ever oh 800 hits has anyone listening

ever done the Crisco hamper I'm sure as a kid it would blow your mind right if that turned up do you know in just out of out west

in Auckland the Crisco mansion these were the owners who started the company. Oh, really? This whacking great mansion. Huge. Kim.com bought it.

Kim.com moved that to... Was that the Crisco? That's the Crisco's mansion. Is he paying off an instalment slot there? I don't know if he paid it off an instalment slot. I think he's still trying to pay some other stuff off. I think someone else has got that now. Zuru.

Yeah. The toy company. But I was lucky enough to go out there when Kim.com owned it. We were filming a sketch with him. Crazy, bro. Crazy. Honestly. Bulletproof glass. Six inch bulletproof. Every single window

in the mansion. And then you walk into the kitchen and there is an aquarium. Floor to ceiling aquarium with the most exotic fishes the ocean could provide. And he was like, do you like my fish? And I was like, yes, Kim, I do like

your fish. He's like, this one is from Bermuda. And I was like, wow. And he pointed them all out, gave me the backstory of all these exotic fish. Dan, Dan, welcome. Hi. You're a Crisco's lady. Oh, my. Hi. You're a Crisco's lady. Oh, my nan is.

She is. Oh, she, every year she gets her little meat pack and little goodies, and it's always just the same. So seeing that box arrive is so funny. It's so beautiful. That's the one thing she does for herself. Oh, there you go. Well, clearly people do it because they've been a very successful business.

Yeah. But I'd never known anyone to do it. No, she's busted. I can't understand what's being said there. But the good news is for you, because you rang up, you're going to get yourself a ham. Every caller that gets on there this morning gets a ham. Oh, it's beautiful. They will come in just handy.

Can I say, you win the award for the most shocking phone line we've ever had on this show. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Today, someone in Sydney took off with a Krispy Kreme donut van with over 10,000 Krispy Kreme donuts inside. It was at a petrol station, and they took off with it. And the lady's still on the run. But apparently over $40,000 New Zealand dollars worth of donuts inside.

Jeez, that's a lot of donuts here. It's a lot together. And they would probably expire quickly. Yeah, it's a race against time. Oh, jeez. Black market donuts. I love Krispy Kreme, but that's eating them quite fast. Now, this is an amazing prize we got here,

Producer Taylor, a GHD Out of This World gift, which is worth $760. Why are you focusing it on Producer Taylor and not me? I wanted to have a chat to someone who knew about hair, at least. I was like, I can talk to Taylor about this. Limited edition Dreamland Deluxe gift set. Pretty fancy. Yep. Sorry, Producer Joel was just distracting me.

So I didn't hear any of that. I thought you'd come in here and you'd go, oh, those things are great. You know, you're there. Oh, they are. Okay, so we're talking about this. I can't ask Jono about this sort of thing. He's telling me I can't participate in this conversation.

So back in high school, I had really frizzy Italian hair. I still do, obviously. And the best birthday present my mum ever bought me was a GHD straightener. And I still have it to this day. So it's like 10 years old. The Italians come with frizzy hair, do they? Well, I do. I don't know if it's a whole thing, but I just blame my nationality for it.

Yeah. Who else to blame? Yeah, exactly. So if you want this GHD, the Out of This World gift, the limited edition Dreamland Deluxe gift set, then you get a good hair day with the GHD. So let's flip it. Let's tell us about your worst hair day,

a bad hair experience that went wrong. We've got hams for everyone as well, and I'm under the hits. Listen, if I can take it back to a time where I was blessed, Ben, with follicles. As sort of 19, 20 years old, I went through my M&M period. Yeah, I think I had one of those too. He was Ben and M. And you could do a home bleach with lemon juice and what else?

With like peroxide? Yeah. And, gee, I tell you what, very volatile mix of chemicals, wasn't it? Did you get, did you achieve like platinum blonde? Oh, did I what? Yep. What is your natural hair colour? Yeah, platinum blonde, slightly ginged bit of a ginged gene coming through yeah uh but it did that and it really geez it burnt the scalp too but if you fought your way through

it with guts and determination you ended up with a one of wonderful head of eminem here yeah i tried to go blonde a few years ago as well i remember that and you bullied me out of that you're like okay alan degeneres he went to the hairdresser and went full blonde. Really? Was that for a radio thing? No, I just thought, just do it. Yeah. I was thinking about doing it again.

Can we? Yeah, I don't mind. That'd be amazing. It looked like he got lost from a boy band in the 90s. The extra member of NSYNC. And he wasn't NSYNC with the rest of NSYNC. Guys, are we all doing? Oh no, just me.

Just me, alright The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast GHD's got good hair day to give away For your BHD's this morning On 0800 The Hits Had some great calls so far Some terrible dying, such a frosted tips Situated with a hook ending up in the head

Having to be surgically removed Let's go to the phones right now. Who have we got, Joel? Casey. Casey. Good morning. How's it going? We're doing well.

What was the PhD? So back in my teenage years, I went through the same sort of stage of bleaching my hair like you did. And anyway, back then we ended up using like a plastic bag to obviously hold it all in. And then obviously as the time came to pull it all off i actually didn't realize that the the ink from the writing on the plastic bag it's like bleached into my hair so i had to basically walk around with this stuff in my ear until i could get it sorted

you got the new world logo inked into your head yeah it was it actually was the new world logo they're like wow that guy really loves new world inked into your head. Yeah, it was. It actually was the New World logo. They're like, wow, that guy really loves New World. That's such a good story. Hey, well, we're going to send you, we're going to give you

Now, we were filming something yesterday on the beach, and it required me this particular scene to be in minimal clothing. Yeah. And so just to keep things classy because there were

children around and looking after children en masse they distract each other kids don't they? Yeah they do. They really do. They veer off

onto tangents. It's like this radio show. You're going to make a comparison. Yeah but uh just to keep things tasteful uh i had to don a g-string have you ever wanted have you ever wanted a g-string oh i have yeah but only for really like not for not for personal more just for radio and tv related stuff over the years i'm not a g-string person I don't mean this to be a very intrusive question

But do you Because I know it's more popular probably with The females than it is the males Just in general population Magic Mike begs to differ I found it very intrusive to begin with The g-string But over the day I was was like, this could be me.

Very comfortable. Yeah, you don't even feel it after a while. That's the thing. But you do get the gentle reminder every now and then. Like when you bend over, there's a little tug, and you're like, oh, that's right. Yeah. Is this you now?

Is this you now? I think it could be. Yeah. I think it could be. But then at the end of the day i had to take it off oh that g string scene that's i always feel sorry for that you know that g string's like oh of all the things that i could have been once i was a piece of material with my whole future myself my whole future ahead of me it could have been anything we've been gracing the catwalks of Milan and now I'm like

I'm in this guy yeah deep inside this guy oh yeah yeah I mean that is

you know you think you had an interesting day end of the day that GX saw some things today what a day at work in the

The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Now on my car on Monday, across the windscreen, I saw a cockroach about that big. That big? That big. No one can see what you're saying right now, but Producer Joel, that's

a big cockroach that is a big well that's that big yeah i'm trying to give it a description of how well what would you say size of a lighter length of a lighter lighter yeah that's a huge cockroach okay okay i feel like there's no cockroach i feel like you don't believe anything i say no especially when you go like that okay it was a big cockroach all right yeah okay i believe that but i don't know if it was as big as a lighter. It was on the windscreen. And I saw it as I was pulling out of our driveway.

And I was like, well, the motorway will deal with you. The 100k an hour winds will blow you off the car. And I was watching him as I was, and he was clinging on for dear life, this cockroach. So he could have been sitting in the passenger seat. He was that big. He was actually navigating me. Had a seatbelt on the cute little fella.

It does sound like it. And then I was like, I thought he'd blown away. And there's always that thing, you know, cockroaches will survive anything, nuclear explosions. It turns out they'll even survive 120k winds on a motorway. 100k winds on a motorway. Yeah, 100k. 100k winds on a motorway.

And then I forgot about it. This morning, I'm driving along. He's on the dashboard. This giant cockroach. Well, he got in sight. He got in sight, obviously, through the air vents or something. Climbed through the grill. And there's nothing more for it.

It's like when you're having a pie or something and you're driving and it spills on your legs and you're trying to you're trying to deal with something and concentrate on the road at the same time because cockroaches we've branded them as filthy dirty pissed i mean they go around living their life and all we're wanting to do is stomp on them spray them kill them yeah you know the odds are stacked against them and we don't really know how we just know that they're very hard to kill they keep coming back like the Terminator or something, yeah they can survive anything they definitely don't survive someone's foot stamping on them you're right

exactly, I do find with cars too there's always the spider web and the sort of wing mirror situation too, and I often will get rid of one in the car but I'm like I haven't seen a spider it always worries me that there's a spider somewhere, I've't seen a spider. It always worries me that there's a spider somewhere. Yeah.

I've just wiped down its home multiple times, but I'm like, well, it's coming back. But they keep coming back with that little corner of webs, you're right. So I've got this cockroach living in the car now. So when I sell it, I'll just say it comes with one friendly giant cockroach, enormous cockroach that your friends won't believe the length of it. So I'll wait out with the hits. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. We're talking about what's in your car at the moment.

Discovered I've got an enormous cockroach living with me now in the vehicle and happy we're getting along. And the other thing too, cockroaches survive nuclear explosions. Do they die of old age? I was thinking too as I was watching him crawl along the dashboard.

Does that get him in the end? Well, it does give you a fright of finding a cockroach for some reason. Rats or cockroaches for you? What would you prefer?

If something was going to crawl across your face? Across my face? Probably, oh, yeah, ooh, probably a cockroach

if I had to, but rats, yeah, they're, you've had a hissing, frothing rat outside jumping at you. It was very scary. Yeah, yeah, that was right. There was a big rat too. But rats You've had a hissing Frothing rat outside Jumping at you

It was very scary Yeah that was right There was a big rat too Probably the size of that cockroach That you were saying before The sound of it They don't believe it I'd say six inch cockroach

Six inches Now what is in your car? We've got the free hams And we're going to go to Rachel You're on Welcome from Upper Hutt. Morning.

What's in the car, mate? I have, as you were talking, I was looking at my wing mirror. I have a spider in my wing mirror. I'm not sure if it's one or a whole family that lives in there because, you know, you go through the car wash, the spider web's gone, but the next morning it's back and there's a little spider. They're prolific. They really are. They're hardworking, the spiders, aren't they? So you've got some spiders. Ben's never seen a spider there, just seen the cobwebs. Yeah, so you've seen it. You see the legs.

Every now and then you see the little legs like kind of under the mirror, but it's like, ooh, so up goes the window. Like a little saucy Moulin Rouge show for you. I love this. I'm going to show you a little bit. I've got eight of them. Like that? Okay, there's more where that came from.
