The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Cheers to Dilma, making the world a better tea. Now as I mentioned before Megan, we've been working together for a few weeks now. How does it feel like? Do you feel like years for you? It actually feels like ages. Does it feel like ages for you? That's a good thing though. That's a good thing. It feels comfy.

You've blended in wonderfully, part of the furniture now. Thanks. Have we found out, what I want to know is have we found out everything mockable about you yet? Or is there still more to discover? Yeah, I imagine there's

more to discover, right? Yeah, I'd say so. We've really tapped into the double marriages. We've had a good few weeks of that. How sickeningly cute your current marriage is.

I say current like there's going to be another one. How much younger my husband is. Yeah, we've had a lot of fun with that over the last couple

of months. But there might be more. We're learning a lot about you. And yesterday you mentioned, after the radio show, I thought it was something really, really interesting that you had two mediums, two people that predict the future come up to you at certain times of your life and say stuff, just out of the blue. Yeah, so it wasn't as if I'd gone and asked for the information. The first time, I think it was during or after a radio interview,

as they were walking out the door, the medium, they didn't even talk to me at all during the interview because I was just a pleb back then. They stopped me and said, hey. Apologies to all the plebs listening. They stopped me and said, you have a little girl that follows you around. And I was like, whoa, that's creepy.

I was like, who is she? What does she want? She was like, i get the feeling that it is uh your daughter i was like i don't have a daughter because she asked me if i had like a daughter that had passed away or something like that and i said no i don't have any children right uh and then we struggled to get our son um and i wasn't sure i was even going to have a daughter so So I eventually did have a daughter. She's now one. And she told me back then, this was years ago, maybe 12 years ago. That you were going to have a daughter, basically.

Yeah, and she follows me around. Before you'd even created the daughter. Yeah. It was already there in spiritual form. Creepy. Hey. Yeah. Do these people see, like like to quote the movie

are they walking around seeing dead people all day and spirits all day the mediums I don't know Taylor you know all about it don't you yeah

so you had another occasion right yeah so another one this was a medium at a hen's party and again after the hen's party she stopped me and it was right when I was going through my divorce

and I'd met but you get divorced did you I'd met my husband now I thought we would point that out and she said to me I know there's two men in your life right now I'd met my husband now. I thought we would brought that up. And she said to me, I know there's two men in your life right now. And you need to look after yourself. You're going through a tough time.

I know. And so you what? Obviously let slip to her. No, I hadn't spoken to her about it. How do you know my dark secrets? Going through like divorce and everything, you know, it was a pretty stressful time. I imagine. And yeah, she stopped me and pulled me aside

and was like, you need to look after yourself. I know you're struggling. You're choosing between two men. You never want to have a medium who knows you're having an affair or something, do you? Shh, shh, shh, shh, man. Crikey. Taylor, you are very in touch with your spiritual side,

producer Taylor. Yeah, big believer so these these people they wander around they're seeing images of spirits and things all day long yeah absolutely and they feel obliged to reach out to people like me again if something from the other realm is trying to send her a message i went to john edwards with my mom do you guys know you have no idea that oh my god he's here oh the american guy yeah and it was the most incredible three hours of my life like he will be there and he's like wedding day you know oh you know this is amazing he'll be in the room but there's someone in this room who's brought a necklace with them and it's attached to their late father who passed well

please stand up and then out of out nowhere, a person will stand up. Plant. Someone's planted. No, no. Come back. It's so niche and only he would know. Exactly.

No. He's gone, I will slip you 20 bucks, mate, okay? Just roll with the story. Which I do, I really do think that there are some people out there that kind of make it up to make money.

The charlatans. But then why would you feel the need to stop a complete stranger and give them quite a specific tidbit? I'm not paying them. I don't have any connection. Listen, if it helps you out, do it. Believe in it. Roll with it. If it doesn't, don't do it.

It's life, baby. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Final release tickets. I thought it was all sold out but there's a couple more final release tickets you can get all the details at the hits.co.nz

slash pink if you want to go on and see her Friday Saturday night in Auckland sometimes when they build the stage configuration

don't they they go oh we can bloody cram a couple more people in that corner there for pink Megan you got a last minute

invite to pink too didn't you I'm going Saturday I'm fizzed looks incredible looks really really good now Ben Boyce what were you just Megan, you got a last minute invite to Pink too, didn't you? I'm going Saturday. I'm fizzed. Looks incredible. Looks really, really good. Not quite. Now, Ben Boyce, what were you just talking about?

Yeah, I was talking about Trade Me. 25 years since the iconic site Trade Me has been in New Zealand this month. Went live in 1999. Well, they had that sweet period where you could put up like, we put up strange stuff just to get uh headlines for our tv show like a wizard cloak from harry potter an invisibility cloak and it wasn't anything and then they're like oh look there's someone settling in a visibility and it turns into a bloody herald headline and then we put up the plane for the prime minister that keeps breaking

down we put that up as well even though we don't own the plane one dollar reserve yeah exactly uh but they were released uh some of their most talked about listings over the last 25 years. Some of them include The Last Cigarette, smoked inside Auckland's Malt restaurant before the smoke-free laws came through. Someone paid a lot of money for that. Someone paid a lot of money for Orlando Bloom.

He was eating a lollipop at the Lord of the Rings premiere. That's crazy. $330 for a used lollipop. Why did he not finish the lollipop? What is he eating a lollipop? Why did he not finish the lollipop? Was he eating a lollipop? That seems like odds food choice at a premiere. Doesn't it? It does a wee bit, doesn't it?

I think, yeah. When was the last time you saw a grown man eat a lollipop? Yeah, true. Well, maybe that's why it sold for $300. The most iconic thing, though, that I reckon over the 25-year history was the handbag that Tana Umunganga used to whack his Hurricanes teammate, Chris Marceau. Remember there was like a bar fight going on and Tana was like,

mate, you can't do that. Grabbed somebody's handbag and just, you know, was whacking him saying, you can't do that, which got on Tana for sorting it out. And then that lady sold the handbag for $22,000. 22 grand. What now? A Roxy handbag. Has it ended up at a Roxy one?

Has it ended up in like Te Papa? Someone from Wanganui bought it for a friend, apparently. And what are they doing with it? I don't know. We should try and track the owner of the handbag. And go, was it worth the $22,000? I'm going to hazard a guess. It's a lot of money.

Hazard a guess and say no. Maybe Uriah Could sell it to Papa But then I don't know If they buy stuff like that But yeah really interesting Plastic bag in 2019 Sold for $52 It was a pack and save plastic bag

That was one of the last plastic bags I think it was One of the last ones as well RIP plastic bags God they were useful David Steber's twerking outfit He twerked in That sold for just over $1000 as well

That's not worth it Do you sell much stuff on Trade trade me not too much my wife does from time to time the old pickup only is you get some interesting characters popping around don't you like we bought the occasional thing and it's again it's interesting and remember once i told you i turned up and the lady was eating an iceberg lettuce like an apple that's right she had a whole letter was it like a little just the heart of it Or was it a big A little big lettuce And she was just

So crunchy on it I was like It's unusual I opened the door Just eating the lettuce I was like And she continued to Munch on the lettuce

As we picked up Whatever it was We had to pick up You do meet a wide Cross section of society Don't you With Trade Me So thank you Trade Me

For introducing us To all of the weirdos In New Zealand Taylor Swift there In the middle of her Heiress tour at the moment She's a bit sick You can see some footage for introducing us to all of the weirdos in New Zealand. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Taylor Swift there in the middle of her Eros tour at the moment. She's a bit sick. You can see some footage of her coughing off mic. You were showing me before.

She sings a line and then off mic, she's like... Yeah, she's still battling on through a three-and-a-half-hour concert each night. And I don't know if you know this. We've got some audio from last night's concert. Your husband, Marcelo Matoa, was there, producer Taylor. And this is his reaction to Taylor Swift coughing on stage. And if your partner doesn't react to it or offer any assistance, they don't love you. He reacted. That was his reaction. But you really were hacking really loud.

A big cough, big hacking cough. I see his reaction. I don't think I've ever heard that noise in my life. It's really good. We've isolated that now for any coughing incidents. But we have been talking the last couple of days about the earliest memory in your life because I took the kids on a Disney cruise when they were younger and they don't remember it.

They were too young. Money well spent. Yeah, it was a great time. It was one of those family memories that was great for me and they had a great time at the time. But now I'm like, oh, okay. Disneyland is meant to be the happiest place on earth. The unhappiest place on earth is Ben's heart after this revelation.

After the show yesterday, Megan and I thought we'd right the wrongs of your children crapping all over your dreams, mate. They're not having any memories of this Disney crew. We phoned the heart of the issue, Disneyland to see if we get a refund. Thank you for calling Walt Disney Travel for Hotel Reservations at Island Resort.

This is Tiffany, how can I help you? Hi, Tiffany, how are you? I'm doing well. Listen, I am phoning up on behalf of a dear friend of mine, Ben, who is here. Yeah, hi. He's wanting a refund. No, I'm not wanting a refund. He's trying to get me a refund.

He paid for his kids to go on a big Disney cruise when they were how old, Ben? They were young, very young. Two and four. Two and four. So we're talking over 10 years ago, and they don't have any memory of it. Do you think we'd be eligible a refund? Because he's like, what was the point in paying for it? They have no memory of it.

Yeah, I'm not sure their policy on that. So it's not a no. I remember it. I remember it. It was a great trip. It was amazing. Well, listen, you go and have a word to Mickey.

See what his stance is on refunding from 10 years ago. Right. Yeah, I'm not sure. I don't think that's going to happen. No, I don't think so. I'm not sure. But yesterday we did talk

about your earliest memory because it's really interesting to see how far back people can remember. And Barb, she phoned through. She blew us out of the water with this one. We remembered from the womb. Okay, now this is a bit weird,

but I had significant problems with fear of needles in hospitals. When mum was pregnant with me, she had to have an amniocentesis. No. So you remember being in the womb? Well, apparently. Apparently I do. That is wild! We're not going to beat that. You can't get any earlier than that, unless you

can remember being conceived. That is... Incredible. Yeah. Insane. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. From the 09 region, there's a bit of a scrub fire It's close Some roads on the

North Western Motorway Central Auckland This morning Thick smoke around the city So there may be a bit of traffic If you're trying to get your way to work And talking about your earliest memory Let's go to the phone show

We will get Carol on Welcome From New Zealand Carol Hi Lovely to have you on Earliest memory How old were you?

I was about four. Yeah. And I used to go to kindergarten. And my dad used to run the Balbird Bottle Store. So he used to pick me up on a Thursday at lunchtime and take me back to the bottle store and sit me out the back with a bottle of Coke and a bag of chips. There you go. It's an old school parenting that we love coke and a bag of chips. Oh, there you go.

It's an old school parent thing that we love, eh? Put it in the car, pack it, chip it. Back to the liquor shop, mate. Lunchtime. Why was he pulling you out at lunchtime as well? Oh, I used to go to kindergarten. I only went to the morning session. Oh, good stuff, Dave.

You have yourself a great day. Okay, thank you. Annie, good morning. How are you? I'm good, thank you. We're talking your earliest memory, Annie. Yep.

What do you want to know? All of them. All of the memories. Your earliest one in particular. My earliest one was when I was probably between the age of two and a half and three and we lived in Bluff. My father was working on the oyster boats and

he always brought a billy can of oysters home during the season and my earliest memory is climbing up on a stall and eating oysters by the fistful. Fistful at age two and a half? You're into your oysters. Oh, yes.

Cultured pellet. It wasn't a bluff girl for nothing. No. So two and a half, that seems very young. Yeah, to remember that. Oh, yes. Obviously, it's a memory that's still with me. I bought some up because it's quite expensive.

I bought some up north a while. A few years back, my daughter was young. I was like, well, you should try one of these and see how you go, she went to eat it didn't like it, spat it back on the plate and I was like well I paid a lot for it, I'm going to have to eat that now Fair enough Very expensive Exactly, so I went, oh did you listen?

I was like, yeah I did, but it was expensive They look chewed up anyway They do, they really look the same, but yeah Jeez, that's great, two and a half years old First memory. Can you go back deeper? No. No, that's it.

Okay. I was pushing the limits there. Two and a half is pretty impressive. Just a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, thank you so much, Annie. Go and have a great day. You too.

The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. America looks like it's going to be a rematch of Biden to Trump in the election, upcoming election later in the year after those two sort of made it through what they call Super Tuesday over there in America where they decide on their nominees for the main two parties. And, yep, it looks like it's going to be Biden-Trump all over again. That many million people in America. It's crazy, eh?

Those two are the options. Yeah. It's wild. Biden will be 86 if he wins again by the end of his. Yeah. So everyone's concerned he the end of his... Yeah. So everyone's concerned he's not mentally capable. Yeah. And then there's Trump.

If he was your relative... Yeah, true. If Biden was your relative, you would have shipped him off to the Ryman about five years ago. Yeah. Wouldn't you? He's doing really well for an 80-something-year-old guy. No, but you just want him to have a rest.

I know. But you shouldn't be saying that about a president. Yeah, exactly. He's doing really well for a president. year old guy. No, but you just want him to have a rest. But you shouldn't be saying that about a president. He's doing really well for a president. Wow, that's a president. It should be at a Ryman and you're out there and about, you know. I've been saying, I've been living in the lie on social media. On my Instagram account, a very

stupid, feeble attempt at comedy where, because you can write a description of what you're all about, can't you, under your profile. So Megan, Megan, what do you have? You've got a broadcaster. I think professional talker and show enthusiast. Yeah, great. That's great.

Both true. Both true. Ben, what do you have? I think just pretty standard. I think the Ben part from Jono and Ben, I think, was probably it. And a few other links to other accounts that we've got. Well, I stupidly put uh marriage counselor philanthropist and christopher luxon look like her mind and yeah it's done me all right i guess for a year and a half or

so i get a dm from a lady in distress just wanting to check, are you actually a marriage counsellor? And she goes on to say, like, really opened her, opened up and said, like, me and my husband were having, we're having troubles. Oh, no. I'm like, oh, dear God. Now I need to say it was just a really dumb gag. A joke. Or the other option is I say, come and see me we can work through this it's a bold choice for her

because your profile picture on Instagram is some creepy mask it's from when we were doing a Helen Wee thing on bed it doesn't scream marriage counselling it doesn't scream approachable marriage counselling no like John Aiken doesn't see any qualifications I think my only thing would be like just passion make up No, it doesn't certainly, like John Aiken, doesn't see any qualifications.

I think my only thing would be like, oh, just passion make up. You know, you can work through it. You've been to a marriage counsellor, didn't you? I did, yeah. Can I make some coin out of this? Are they pricey? Yeah, 100%. How much per hour? Like over $100 easily an hour.

Well, I suppose when you think about what you're getting for that service, you know, a lot of services are kind of the same thing right hopefully save your marriage and not all cases yeah do they ever get to the end and go hey i suppose they do from time to time it's not compatible right yeah yeah i guess so it didn't happen for us they tried really hard how many sessions did you go to um four or five i think. And do you, is it like a bickering session or is it quite peaceful? No, it's quite peaceful. They don't allow you to bicker and you're supposed to take turns and they talk, they mediate, they try and talk you through things. Did it help in any way?

Um, I did learn a lot about communication. Um, but yeah, we, we, we didn't end up together. So I guess if you're just not compatible you're not compatible. Well chances are if you're going to a counsellor things are dire. That would be one of my suggestions is I think everyone should go to one

because it teaches you how to communicate even if you're not having issues. I think it would be really valuable for anyone to go especially before you get married. It's like in America they all go to therapy even when they're not people with mental health issues. It just seems like it's It's like in America, they all go to therapy. Yeah. Even when they're not, you know, people,

mental health issues. It just seems like it's the norm over there. Yeah, I think it is very. Just talk through stuff, you know, and going on.

So you don't get to that place. No, nobody is a perfect communicator and you get lazy in your relationship. So it's a good thing. Did your marriage counsellor

ever just say, just passion make up? Nah. No. Okay, well I won't use that. The hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.

Because Pink is in the country. She played in what looked like an amazing, amazing show in Dunedin. She's got two more shows coming up, Friday and Saturday night here in New Zealand.

They must have had to bring teachers and all sorts for the kids, wouldn't they?

Yeah. Travelling, but a good way to all sorts for the kids, wouldn't they? Yeah. Travelling, well, good way to do it though. Last time she was here, Carrie Hart, her husband, he loves motocross,

I definitely going to try and sneak in the back. The last three had a theme. They did. They definitely had a theme. Thank you so much.

Very excited about the Warriors back and playing again in the NRL. And we've got centre Rocco Berry with us right now from the Warriors. Great to have you with us. Thanks for having me.

Nice to talk to you, sir. Firstly, cool name, Rocco, cool name. And secondly, what a great season last year for the Warriors with probably not so much expectation going into it. Do you feel now with the whole Up the Wars movement and such a great season, a little bit of pressure on this year? Yeah, it's probably a little bit more pressure, but we're welcoming that. And, yeah, we're excited for the challenge,

and we're just going to have to go up another level and be better. Don't want to add any more pressure, but people are walking around, they keep saying, it's our year, Rocco. I don't think anyone's said that before with the Warriors. Yeah, I think we're pretty used to that. So, yeah, every year is our year, and, yeah, hopefully going up.

Every year is our year. Maybe this is the year. Now, you come from Masterton. Yeah, you grew up in Greytown. Your dad is a legend because I was from the Wairarapa, and your dad's a legend. Marty Berry played for the All Blacks from Wairarapa, which doesn't happen too often.

So he's like a local legend back home. He's been a man back home. So, yeah So growing up, kind of always had him as the all-black growing up. And I heard that a few times.

But yeah, no, it's pretty cool. Does he come along to the games? Does he give you advice? He's living in Oz

at the moment. So he makes the Sydney games when we play over there. Yeah, he tries to give me a bit of advice. He doesn't know too

much about league. So I can kind of tell him when he's wrong. Shut up, Dad. You don't know what much about league, so I can kind of tell him when he's wrong. Shut up, Dad. You don't know what you're talking about. I've got a pitch for you. We're both on the wadded upper.

We go back after our careers. My last name's Boyce. Your last name's Berry. Boyce and Berry. We have an orchard farm. Boyce and Berry. What do you think? A couple of hometown heroes.

Well, you're the hero. They tolerate me slightly there. I love Boysenberry. Boysenberry. We can have it, you know. Boysenberry. What ever happened to that washed-up broadcaster, that league legend? Oh, they're running a Boysenberry pub called Boysenberry.

Yeah. That would be a good idea, mate. I think so. We'll talk more about that off air, all right, mate? Do you have a love for Boysenberries or a love of puns? Oh, yeah, look, they're okay. How about you, Rocco? What's that, Boysenberry? that off air, all right, mate? Do you have a love for boys and berries or a love of puns? Oh, yeah, look, they're okay. How about you, Rocco? What's that, boys and berries?

Yeah, they're all right, eh? For a while, I think. Yeah, they're pretty good. They're pretty good. Not much passion for them. Yeah. You were like a schoolboy rugby star. The Hurricanes and a lot of other teams wanted you,

and then you decided to go with the Warriors. You hadn't played actually that many league games before you sort of debuted for the Warriors, right? Yeah, kind of first proper experience of the league was when I go to the Warriors. You hadn't played actually that many league games before you sort of debuted for the Warriors, right? Yeah, kind of first proper experience of the league was when I came to the Warriors. So, yeah, I was always just eager to try it and give it a crack. And, yeah, pretty much soon as I had the opportunity,

I thought, have a try. And, yeah, still here. Now, Rocco Berry with us from the Warriors. Megan has just joined us this year and new to the show. And I feel like your sports consumption has really gone from zero to 100 since joining the show. You started to watch the Super Bowl.

You're now into Formula One, thanks to Taylor. Is there a question you'd like to ask Rocco? Or could Rocco teach you something that you could say to sound like you know heaps about league? Yeah, that would be great, actually. I read the news, Rocco,

and I basically don't even know what I'm talking about when I read it. I know up the wars. You read about Luke Metcalf this morning? He's got the number six. Yeah, he is number six. That's about my limit, Rocco. What could she say to sound like

she knows what she's talking about when it comes to league? We'll get thrown around. The word process gets thrown around a lot. Process. They're really sticking to their processes here. Sticking to their processes. They're sticking to their processes, yeah.

I like that. Hey, Rocco, McCracken as well did a great segment this week, Wairarangi Kopu, where he got you guys to try and talk about Up The Waz for 30 seconds without saying ah more ah. Here was your effort.

Won the first trial. So three or four seconds. No, as long as that they cut it off oh I stitched up in the edit a TV stitch up yeah because you're speaking

but I just couldn't, we didn't have the budget for it. Budget, yeah, budget. So what we've settled for is a bucket full of cold freezing water with three apples in it.

So Benny Swims for Teddy swims. Now, you're going to go bobbing for apples. There's three in there. We have three wonderful callers on the phone. We're going to get Jess on. How are you, Jess? Good stuff. Have a good day.

Lovely to have you on, Jess. Tanya as well from Auckland joins us. How are you, Tans? Very good, thank you. So Jess will be number one apple. So Jess will be number one, Apple. Tanya will be number two, I guess. And Kimbo in Turuwa. Morena. Hi, Morena. You're on

as well. So Jess number one, Tanya number two, Kim number three. Now Ben's going to go bobbing. Is there any particular number you're going to aim for or are you just going to get that mouth and wrap it around dem apples? I was going to put the mic next to it but it was going to fall in the water, so that's probably not good and healthy.

I don't know. What do you reckon? I just put my head out. Just go loose. Just go loose. I think it's going to be harder than you think, because usually when you bob for apples, there's a few in there, but it's only three. Okay, so any words of inspiration you'd like to offer Jess to Ben, firstly?

Number one is always good to go for. Number one's always good to go for? Close your eyes and just go for number one. Okay, Tanya, what do you want to say to Ben? Yeah, good luck. Good luck. And Kimbo? You'll make my daughter's dreams come true.

Oh, there's a daughter's dreams on the line here, Ben. All right. Let's Benny swims for Teddy swims. Here we go. Okay swims here we go three two one fully submerged his feet it's like he's doing self water torture right now he's got what's he got he's pulled one out number two that was quicker than I The number you have is, Ben. Number two. Tanya. Yay. Well done.

Number two. That was quicker than I thought it was going to be. His commitment. He is soaking. He is dripping wet. It was very forceful. He forced his head in there. Did you push it to the bottom?

I don't know. I was just, I don't know. He went hard. When he goes down, he goes down hard. He commits. Mouth open. Never comes up for air. I think we're a little disturbed by that, actually.

That is, well, Ben, quick question. How did you like Dem Apples? Cold, really cold water. They were quite dripping. If Benny swims on it, I don't know if it'll be back. I'm going to go clean myself up. Well, Tanya, you got Tanya the tickets. Awesome.

He's unblocking his ears. I'm wearing my ear, everything, face covered. Well done, Tanya. Sorry you missed out there, GS. You guys are going to have a wonderful day. There was Benny Swims for Teddy Swims. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. In New Zealand right now, she played Dunedin. She's got two concerts, Friday,

Saturday in Auckland, and there's some last minute tickets available. If you head to thehits.co.nz you can find out how you can get your hands on those now you had a sweet old lady living next door to you

when you were growing up and a lot of young people in this country did didn't they Mrs King was her name she was lovely actually my sister and I would pop over

and see her she didn't have a lot of family around so we'd sort of hang out with her and I remember when my dad and mum split you know

she was next to my dad's house and so sometimes he would be busy, you know, with something and we'd go over there and she'd sort of look after us for a couple of hours, which is awesome. She also had a very embarrassing moment

where she was getting her eyes tested and she went to leave afterwards and thought she was putting the car in reverse, didn't, and went straight to the glass of the optometrist store. Sorry, through the window. Yeah, through the window. And she had like a whole lot of gin in the back of the car,rist store. So through the window. Yeah, through the window. And she had a whole lot of gin in the back of the car,

which smashed everywhere. And when they turned up, it was like, this car's reeking of alcohol. And she had just had her eye test to get her license. Yeah. So anyway, but Mrs. King was her name. She was lovely. And she used to, I remember distinctly,

she'd feed us Nutri-Grain, but not with milk. Nutri-Grain with onion. From what I remember, onion soup mix just sprinkled on top. So just the dust. Yeah, a jar of that she'd have there. And I think as a kid I was like, oh, this is great. You know, being polite. And then every time it was like this.

This guy loves this. So I keep having it all the time. So that was the meal she would provide for you every time. Yeah, like an after-eat snack. Cereal and onion dip. Yeah. And did you ever feel you could have gone Gordon Ramsay on it and said this is effing disgusting or you were just too polite?

No, I think I was too polite. I think I said it was nice and it was probably fine, but, you know, one of those things that I probably would have preferred back in the day, burger rings or something, you know, CCs or something back then. Cookies. Cookies. The elderly love feeding young people who live next door, don't they?

Usually like flowery apples or mouldy pieces of citrus or something. Yeah. I remember my nan always had, they felt like expired odd fellows, you know, soft big mints. But we're going to try this Nutri-Grain and onion dip mix right now. I just thought I'd brought some in. So I've sprinkled some onion dip on Nutri-Grain, and Megan's having some.

Do you feel like a teenage boy Iron Man? Can I have some? It's actually really good. What? It's actually really good. There you go. It kind of tastes like chips. Producer Taylor, come on in.

Yeah, it does. Yeah. It's like salty and sweet and crunchy. Apparently it's a thing. Yeah. Apparently it's an actual thing. You're talking to Tony Street, beloved broadcaster Tony Street. Yep.

So this is actually part of a recipe that she did over Christmas called Nuts and Bolts. So yeah, no surprise it tastes good. Yeah, it's actually good. It's all right. It's really good. I don't know how she ended up there. I was trying it. No. It's really good. I don't know how she ended up there. I was trying it. No.

Like it's not. It's really nice. I was expecting us to go. You know, that would make far better audio. It kind of works. Three people going, oh, yeah, that's some jollam. Delicious. Yeah, so we wanted to know this morning,

because I mentioned that this was my friendly elderly neighbour next to me. And you guys were like, oh, I used to go over to such and such's house when you guys were kids as well too. I had Mrs. Greg who lived next door to us. We used to go over there and she would give us biscuits. I remember my parents being like, stop pestering her. But I think she loved it.

She loved the visitors. They do. The old people do. We filmed something at a retirement village, didn't we? That's right. Took a heavy metal band to a retirement village. We thought they'd hate it. Yeah, we're packing up to leave

and then this old lady just grabs my hand she's like please don't leave oh no that was the highlight of my week yeah

it was a loud rock band in the middle of the thing and you two and us yeah I know and us she was like grabbing onto my ankles

as I was walking out I was like kicking her I was like gotta get on with my day old lady mate I'll do that my ankles as I was walking out. I was like kicking her and I'm like, get on with my day, old lady, mate. So I'll add to that. 4, 4, 8, 7. We want to know who your neighbour was. Maybe the sweet

elderly neighbour that used to look after you as well. Your stories of water, they feed you. Was it Nutri-Grain and Onion Dip? It's actually right. It was lovely. If you try anything today, you've got to give this a go. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. The sweet elderly neighbours you had when you were growing up, you'd go over to their house.

You're right, your parents would be like, don't annoy them, don't burden them by just turning up to their house and hanging out for hours. And eating all their food. Yeah. Sometimes they would get fired up, other ones. So sometimes you live next to elderly neighbours that would get fired up. You're right, you're right.

They really go down one extreme or another, the older you get, don't you? They either turn overly friendly or overly grumpy. Yeah. My grandpa used to spray the hose on skateboarders going down the footpath over the fence. I was like, I don't know if you can do that. And they were just skateboarding down the footpath.

They were just going, but I wasn't like, yeah. I feel that that's how Jono's going to go. Yeah. I'd love to spray the hose at skateboarders. I'd love to do it now in my elderly age. Abby, you're on. How are you from Invercargill? I'm good.

How are you? Yeah, a lot of sweet old people in Invercargill, I imagine, when you were growing up, Abby. Yeah, it was actually in Evendale. We had an elderly neighbour who used to look after me when my parents were working and my older sisters were at school and I fondly referred to her as my Aunty Hazel because she was like a surrogate

grandmother and years after her death our family sort of drifted apart and things and ended up getting together with her grandson and we now co-parent an absolute beautiful wee girl named after her.

Oh, my gosh, that's so cute. You got together with her grandson? Yes. Oh, wow. What a turn... Well, mind you, Southland, you're probably going to... Yes. It's a tight community, is it?

So it's not a huge surprise, but that's a great story. Yes. No, she's eight years old now and and she's definitely been numbed after her nana. That is a beautiful story. Her great nana. Yeah. Yeah, great story. Nowadays, would you send Basti over to your bloody, your neighbours, your little baby?

Would you send it over? If I was living next door, elderly Jono, are you sending? No, if you were living nextdoor, absolutely not. Sweet old elderly Jono. Depends who it is. We live in the Burbs. We actually know quite a few of our neighbours. And I probably would, yeah.

Okay. That's good to know. Hey, Abby, you have a wonderful day. Thanks for that story. It was great. Anytime, guys. Good on you, mate. Well, we wouldn't get you to tell it again now,

but maybe in a couple of months we'll get it back on to tell that story. It was great. Michelle, how are you? Michelle. Michelle. Oh, hi. Sorry. Don't apologise, mate. Have you heard this show? We don't expect anything. Now, your elderly neighbour growing up, who was it? Well, not

growing up. So this was, they were our neighbours for about 12 years. So this was, they were our neighbours for about 12 years. So this was 12 years ago. Yeah, they were two husbands, originally from New York and they would leave vegetables over the fence for us from their garden and cut fresh roses and come over and yeah give us flowers

look after our kids oh that's awesome and so what would you do in return nothing no no that's the thing these people are like yeah they do so many favors no they don't veggies they've grown and stuff that's's awesome. Yeah, and we'd look after each other's pets while we went away. Yeah, one time we left him the key to our house to look after my daughter's fish

and there were four when we left. When we got back, there were three left and he was horrified when he found out that one of them just mysteriously vanished. Yeah, no, so they were great. You know, really miss them.

They've moved up to Northman now. Now, what happened to the fish? You knew how to do the fish story. Was it a cat, or did it go belly up? I assumed it got sucked down the tube. Oh, yeah. Good. Went finding Nemo on it.

He didn't realise there were four, but my daughter was like, where's Goldie gone? Went off to find her family. Yeah. Hey, go on, Michelle. Great story. You're going to have a great day, all right? You too.

So Bradley Cooper, there's been a lot of headlines around him recently. He went on a podcast, The Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard. He manages to get a lot of celebrities on there and somehow kind of just open up and say things that I'm sure when they're driving home they're like, Oh, can we talk about that? Yeah, can we edit that out? Well, you know what it's like, you've just got to fill in the airtime.

Ben did a parenting podcast and he's like, I can't even remember half of the parenting tips I handed out. Sometimes you just start talking. You're like, have I got a point here? Hopefully I'll get one midway through this answer. You feel really eloquent, and you listen back, and you're like, oh, that was a mess. Yeah, it was, yeah.

Well, this particular segment from the podcast has made headlines worldwide because it's very honest and a little bit alarming. I was like, I would die in a second from my kid. I'm always like, if I'm being honest, I don't know. Like the first eight months, I'm like, I don't even know if I really love the kid. Wow. Interesting thing to say on a podcast. So he didn't even like his kid for eight months. Yeah. So he said he had trouble bonding with her,

which I guess is quite honest. As a father, there is that time very early on where you can't do as much often as the mum does. So you feel like, so there's that bonding time

that maybe you miss out on. But you're like, stupid little baby, you should be bonding with me. Is that what Bradley Cooper's thinking? I feel like he's the adult that's probably partially on him to bond. There's obviously times you can hug them, hold them, that sort of thing.

But I have wondered, because I've had two kids and obviously I grew them, and then you feel an attachment because I've had them maybe nine months longer with me, and then it's been physically a part of me. I always wondered how dad's like suddenly it's there like is it difficult to be like okay I love it

whereas it was physically a part of me do you know what I mean yeah I guess yeah no yeah of course you love it yeah but your life doesn't alter as much as yours no I mean we still went to work you know you're kind of yeah good thing maybe he was going through postpartum depression. It's a good conversation to start with. It sounds a little harsh on the surface though, doesn't it? It does. You're like, oh, jeez.

Turns out a star wasn't born. It was a pain in the ass, red, wrinkly little baby. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. We're just a cash in car and cars are a thing. They're out there in the world, aren't they? And I would say there was no more disheartening moment just to cash in car and cars are a thing they're out there in the world aren't they and i'd say what there was no more disheartening moment than when you're slowly driving through uh grooming you're trying to groom yourself a car park in a packed car park there's no spare spots and there's

no more disheartening moment as a driver searching desperately for a single car park than when you think oh there's a gap there you know and there's a spare car park and then when you think, oh, there's a gap there, you know, and there's a spare car park and it's tucked behind a car, and then you pull up and there's a tiny car, a tiny goddamn car stuck in there.

Stupid small car. Don't you get so angry, unreasonably angry at the owner for buying such a small vehicle? Yeah, because it lulls you into a false sense of security.

Indicator on. All the time. Oh, there's a park. There's a little car parked in behind a big car. You go from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows

in one and a half seconds. So that's my rant. I like people to buy bigger cars. So, I mean, if you can't see the bottom, the butt of your car

poking out of the car park, shouldn't be in a car park. Shouldn't be in a car park. Yeah. Have you had road rage in a car park before? No, I'm not a big road rager. He's not a rager in general.

My wife sometimes will toot the horn when I'm driving, and that annoys me. I do that. I'm like, don't! The other person thinks it's me! I do that too. That really, yeah. It's not aggro enough, so I'll lean over and be like,

Oh, this person needs to get, give them a little hurry up. And I'm like, no, no! Yes, Amanda. And then they look back at me, and I'm like, sorry, no. Yes, Amanda. And then they look back at me and I'm like, sorry, sorry. Because they don't know someone's led across the bus. I did that once at an intersection. There was a car in front of us that hadn't left immediately on the green. And if they haven't left in one second, then, you know, New Zealand road rules,

you get to obnoxiously honk your horn. People do so quick these days. They do, yeah. They don't give you much. I'm checking Instagram, mate. I'm ready to go now. People are like, yeah now what would you do okay so you're turning into a car car park ben okay someone swoops in someone swoops in and takes it from you but you are clearly you're there about to take a right and that's your park are you confronting them no do you take? No. Are there arms out the window? You're like, oh! No, it's probably not.

You don't even toot your horn. No, but I'll probably have a little moan about them as they kind of drove away. I'll be like, I was, oh, you know. Where does all your aggression go? Yeah, it's just all pent up. It's got to come out one day. It's not going to be a pretty sight. It goes into his love life.

The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. How far would you go for the far north yeah we teamed up with northland for your chance to win your way there it's a great place to go visit particularly over the easter period uh there's some amazing things to do bay of islands parasail new zealand's highest parasail at 1300 feet i've done that it's actually a lot of fun my sister did it as well and she gave her phone to sweet sweet old gentleman to say, well, I'm up there. Can you take some photos of me parasailing?

He's like, yeah, no problems. Came back down and he handed back her phone. And he'd just taken photos of his face the whole time. Every single one was all his face. There were flags when you handed a phone to a sweet old gentleman. He's like, no problems at all. But he was smiling away. What's his face like?

Oh, it's nice. It's a cute face. Quite close up, a little few smiles. I imagine going up under the chin to the angle. Yeah, so it was unfortunate. But it is a heck of a thing to do, and we've got a family holiday to the far north to be one. How far would you go to get to the far north?

Let's get Luke on. Luke, morning. Good morning. How are you? We've been really testing the patience of the Fine Hits listeners and seeing how long you'll wait on hold for. You have 30 minutes. If you are still on the phone at 9 o'clock, the end of the show,

you're in the draw for Northland. Is that how far you'll go for the Far North, Luke? I can go till the end of the year if you'd like. This is just getting you in the draw. What are you doing? Are you getting ready for the day? Are you juggling kids, work? What's going on? Work, day, everything.

Juggle everything. It doesn't sound like you're that stressed. And I'm pretty sure we could have Luke on until the end of the year. Alright, we'll put you on hold and we'll keep checking on you if you drop off. We'll take the next caller and they win your spot. Alright, Luke? Not a problem. We'll talk to you soon. Yesterday, my daughter, one of my daughters

and the youngest daughter had school swimming sports, which is I think for a lot of kids quite a nerve-wracking experience. I hated swimming sports. Yeah, she hasn't been looking forward to it the last couple of days and I'm like, well you do it you know, just give it your go. Once you're in the water I don't feel like people are watching you

intently or anything like that. Yeah. They're kind of just there's a race going on they'd probably talk i'm like trying to give her all these little confidence things to try and go you'll be fine just give it a go yeah you know it's nearing mid-march it's a bit late for swimming yeah big day of swimming sports yesterday and uh so she she went did it she was doing a breaststroke race it's uh that's what she wanted to do and she wasn't looking forward to it and then i rang her last night because we're out working last night and i was like how did it go and she was like bad i'm like oh no what happened she goes i won i won my race and now i've got to go to interschools oh no too good and i'm so good forgive again a real good effort but the same

time she's like this is all new to you told her to give her a good effort effort. But at the same time, she's like, this is all new to you. You told her to give her a good effort. This is my life mantra. Don't get good at things you don't want to do. Yeah. So now she's going off to inter-schools as well. She's like,

I've got more swimming coming up. So she's not looking forward to that coming up as well. Your advice should have been drown. Like, you know, just flower. I remember that lovely guy,

Eric the Eel, who was in the Olympics a few years back. And everyone was, he'd never swum, he'd never even been in a pool, but'd somehow entered into the Olympics that's right it was country yeah and we're all back you could have done the Eric I should I should have I always you know I maybe wonder if like Usain Bolt when he was maybe he hated running you know imagine him

he's like oh bad one another goal parents are like just give it your best just get out there and give it your best you had a traumatic experience didn't didn't you? A little pee spot incident, didn't you, on your Speedos? I did. I was a little nervous before a school swimming sport race. One of the few times I had Speedos on, I do remember it. I went off to the bathroom, didn't fully shake everything, came back out, and I didn't realise until someone went, ah, Ben's peed himself.

And I'm like, uh-oh. Well, you're like, no, I haven't. It's just the residue, the driplets. And I'm going over to the water and trying to scoop it up towards my thing. And I was, yeah. Towards your thing. Do you do a dab now? No, I should.

Well, I don't wear Speedos now. That's the thing. That's the lesson he's learned from that. Why didn't that must happen to the bloody Olympic swimmers all the time? Yeah. No, they wear black. Don't they? They wear black Speedos.

We wouldn't be able to tell. Felty's got a dot. Do you reckon they'll mock each other? He's being himself. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. A few last-minute tickets just become available for her shows at Eden Park. You need to hit stock.co.nz for all the details. He's on hold for how far he would go for Northland to get in the draw

and win the wonderful trip for four to Northland, all expenses paid, flights, accommodation. I just noticed on our social media, it stipulates it's a romantic getaway. Luke, are you still on hold? Oh, is it? Oh, yeah. Family trip, but also romantic at the same time.

So, yeah, you're still on hold. Have you got anyone you could be romantic with in Northland? Oh, no, I'm happy on my own. He's happy on his own. He'll be romantic with himself. Or if Luke sounds like a bit of you. Yeah, me too. We can make a romantic trip for you if he wins this.

It's one of the stipulations. We will need to see evidence of the romance as well, like a photo of a peck on a cheek or something. Okay, good on you, Luke. Have a good one. Hold there. And if you're still there at nine, good on you, Luke. Have a good one. Hold there. And if you're still there at nine, you're in that draw. Now, app chat.

We started this a couple of weeks ago with producer Taylor, who came across an app where you can scan barcodes and make yourself very paranoid about the foods you're eating. Yeah. Yeah. I got a great suggestion through from Kelly last week, I think, about StoCard. StoCard. That's a great one.

You scan your cards and then you just hold them all in your app and you don't need physical cards. Have you enjoyed it? Yeah, go to the supermarket or whatever, you've got your rewards card and you're like you've just got it on the phone. So thank you to Kelly for that. It was one of those ones where you're like, why haven't I done this about five

years ago? You're carrying around so many cards. And do you know there's 8.93 million apps available. So at least we've got a couple of weeks of content out of this. So 0800THETHITS, you come through and you nominate an app, a life-changing app. And you heard one yesterday. Yeah. Which Spark have come up with.

Which means, because we've talked about not liking to clear voicemails, right? No one really wants to do it. It's the worst when someone leaves you one. So it seems like they've got an app from what i understand so you might be able to help us out on that 100 the hits that will basically send you a text message of what the person's voicemail is the transcript yeah the transcript so you don't have to go through the press one to listen press two you know you just that process is pretty cool and also that i heard yesterday on the radio the lady

was saying that you can also like if a family member had passed away and you wanted to keep their message or if it was a cute message from the kids or something like that, you can also download it to your phone as well. So you can save it as a voice recording on your phone. Genius. Which is, yeah.

It's awesome. This is a really good idea. It is one of those things where you're like, really, as a species, are we that impatient? And yes, I'm one of them who can't be bothered clearing voicemails. Are we there? We're there. It takes about maybe 60 seconds.

And sometimes they've gone so far too. It's like, message received on June 24, 2021. You're like, hi, it's your father. You're like, oh, well, that's going to be old news. You know, whatever it is, you just push the sex away. It's your father, I'm having a heart attack. You're like, well, I've talked to him since then. So whatever it was, the message I probably got up to date with.

The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. I do this once a week, app chat, where you tell us some of the apps. You share it with the Hits whanau, some of the things that we need to have as far as apps go. And we just mentioned one before for you. You said you heard it from someone I'm a Spark customer slow clap to Spark because this is groundbreaking it's called Spark voicemail

and it just gives you a list of all your voicemails you can either listen to it press of a button or it has transcribed it it looks like a text message and you can delete them in two seconds I had like 20 old emails that i never get around to deleting gone and like it took me 30 seconds it's amazing you can send me a voicemail

now i'll actually listen to it when you listen when you hear these things you're like damn it why didn't i think of it and all the or anything with inventions and entrepreneurs it's just like find something that people can't be bothered doing and solve that problem. Yeah, that's true. Isn't it? I think we need an app for Siri and speech-to-talk AI technology that can understand the New Zealand accent. Have a New Zoland. A New Zoland at one. Like a New Zoland Siri. Because every time I'm like, you know, call men, call Ben, call Megan,

it's like calling the one-eyed ginger gigolo. How have you picked that up from what I was saying? Sometimes the sentences that comes up, it's like, who has ever seen this in the history of writing words? Anyway, we're going to get Simon on. How are you? Hi, guys. Lovely to have you on, Simon.

App chat. We do it weekly. One app that's going to change the lives of the listeners. All right. Simon, app chat. We do it weekly. One app that's going to change the lives of the listeners. There's an app called Grocer. G-R-O-C-E-R. It looks like a little blue supermarket basket. You can put in all your local supermarkets

and then when you search for something like a bottle of Coke, it'll tell you who's got it cheapest. Do you find though, the thing with Grocer is like the specials vary at all your supermarkets, so you end up going to, like, three different supermarkets to get the specials. Oh, yeah, but see, I only really use it for, like,

I'm going to go buy some beer, so who's got the cheapest beer? Yeah, the one or two items, yeah. Yeah, not the big shop. The big shop's just one big hit somewhere. That's true, that's good. But then, you know, if you're having to drive around all the

supermarkets getting the cheap deals, then you download Gatsby to get the cheapest gas. Yeah, my mum loves the Gatsby. The two together,

job done. Yeah, mate. Love it. Saving money all over town, Simon. My mum's definitely in that zone of finding out,

oh, the gas, the price is this, down the road. Don't act like it's an old people thing. I love Gatsby. It's a long time. It's a nice's an old people thing. I love Gatsby. Yeah. No,

but yeah, like I, yeah. It's just a nice impersonation of his mother. I just, I wish I paid more attention to the gas, you know, I know it's going to be painful.

And I'm like, oh, it'll be like a, but she would just go, that one down the road, we need to go to that one. But then the irony is you drive 32 Ks to the cheapest petrol station. We've got one down the road from our house

every Tuesday. It's the cheapest petrol in the region and people lining up out down the road. But house every Tuesday. It's the cheapest petrol in the region. And people lining up out down the road. But I'm like, you've probably driven from three hours away. You don't think about that. Yeah, but you have the mental one. And that's the main thing.

That was App Chat for another week. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. The other day, their acoustic sessions, their tour of New Zealand and some small venues are sold out in one minute, which is just incredible. How far would you go for the far north?
