The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Cheers to Dilma, making the world a better tea. Now, as a parent, you know, I like to help out when I can, when it comes to the kids' school stuff, but my wife's a teacher, so that means I'm not really that useful for a lot of things. You know, she's really good at helping with maths and science and all those sorts of things, but when it comes to something creative... But if she might want to come home, she's like, I've been doing this to random kids all day. I don't want to do it to my own kids.

But I don't understand the equations and stuff. I'm no help at all. It really does. When you have to go back through it, you're like, jeez, I'm thick. I'm just a dumb human being. I'm like, can you use a calculator? And they're like, no. But anyway, so when it comes to creative things,

I can kind of get involved. That's kind of my wheelhouse. And my daughter, Andy, has been doing school speeches. You know, the classic school speeches for the last couple of weeks. Just get my chat That's kind of my wheelhouse. And my daughter, Andy, has been doing school speeches, you know, the classic school speeches for the last couple of weeks. Just get ready to chat GPT to do it for them. That's what we're doing nowadays. But I'm like, well, this is the sort of thing that I can help with.

I mean, you and I have had a bit of experience over the years talking in public, on TV shows, live events tonight. Tomorrow, actually, we're emceeing more events, aren't we? That's our thing. We've had fluctuating success at it, but it's our thing yeah but this is the thing i'm like if i could impart anything here this is my time to sort of as a parent public speaking but indy what i love about indy she's very organized so she had it pretty much written for the last couple of weeks but also she's very as her name would be indy she's quite independent as well so if she likes something she great if she doesn't and so I've been like, looking at speech, it was really good,

but I'm like, hey, we can get some jokes in here. We can get a few jokes here at the top. It doesn't require jokes. Why plastic is bad doesn't require some jokes. I'm like, we get some jokes at the top. So we've had this little passive-aggressive thing on a Google Doc going back and forward where I kind of got the log into it.

I'll put a little suggestive little couple of jokes at the then i'll go back and later on they're like oh they've gone edited out yeah i've gone then i'm like i'll just suggest another couple of little jokes in here and they've gone again so i'm like okay well maybe she doesn't require the jokes maybe it's not for everyone maybe she can come up with a version of i'll just give her some advice of things to do like practical advice talk loudly look over the top of people's heads, look up, all those sorts of things. She did a speech and she was really happy about it, which was good. But what she just texted me before and I thought it was quite good

because we're doing MC stuff tonight. She's come back tonight with a great message going, hey, Dad, good luck tonight. Have fun. Make sure a loud voice. All the things I've told her. She's just repeating back to you. Yeah, act confident, even if you're not feeling confident.

Look over their heads so you don't have to make eye contact. And, yeah, all these things as well. I'm like, oh, well played, Indy. Well played. Now I'm getting the advice back with Hero. You're like, I've just said this to you. Yeah, I know all this stuff because this is the stuff I've given you. The old version was picture everyone in the room naked, wasn't it?

Yeah. Which is an odd one if you're at a school. I didn't suggest that one. That is why you're good at advice. Well, yeah, but apparently not. Apparently I'm not quite good enough to script things at a sort of age 11 level. I hear you. And I had to judge a speech competition at a school recently.

Oh, you did, didn't you? It was like listening to orators at the UN. I was like, what? Everything's all about bloody climate change. Climate change, this climate change. Plastic bag, yeah. And every time I get it, we've ruined the world for your generation. When are we

going to forgive and move on? Who's having the best weekend? It's cold in here, all of a sudden. And then I had hot flushes before. Maybe I've got menopause. Well, maybe. Who knows what's happening. Best weekend, we like to go to the north and the south.

They pitch what's happening in their regions and then we bet. I don't know why. We've put ourselves in the powerful position of decision makers. Deciding who, which island's having the best weekend. Who are we going to first? Let's go to Hayley. Now, Hayley, it's been pointed out that you have never won one of these, according to producer Joel.

Oh, by my memory, I win every one. Okay. Well, I think you've won some. It's been kind of the last few weeks. Kind of heavy in the South Island. But anyway. I just want to be weighed into the decision of victory. I'm coming to you live from my sickbed today.

Oh, okay. Pulling on heartstrings as well. All right, so what's happening in the North Island? Well, South Island can eat our North Island dust because we have got Wiggles roaming around the North Island currently. We've got Auckland, have got them in town. Also, Beirvana Sky Stadium today and tomorrow. So you pay a whole heap of money

and then you go in and drink things like chocolate beer. Bearvana sounds like a bloody absolute wonderful time but a shambles at the same time. Sounds like your heaven. Yeah, the Uber drivers love it. But Friday night, tonight in Auckland, it is all happening. We've got One Direction. It is the 13-year anniversary party.

Not the actual band. Yeah, I was going to say. They are long gone, but we're celebrating the band's get-together in 2010. The first 100 people through the door get a One Direction badge. Ooh! I know, the pin gets a One Direction badge. Ooh! I know, the pin on their statue, very 2010. What exactly is the gig, though? Are they playing like a CD or playing the One Direction back catalogue?

They're playing pretty much, yeah, CD, and they're just celebrating the fact that they've been around for 13 years. But then the next 100 people through the door gets a One Direction sticker. It is all happening. Oh, there we go. Badges, stickers, CDs, compact discs. I don't know why I was referencing those. They were probably ended before One Direction even started.

Oh, it's a big weekend in the north. There we go. It absolutely is. So what we lack in Fiona's 10 a.m. yoga, we make up for one day, and I think this direction can only, victory can only go in one direction. Oh, nice. Hayley, look, you're sounding clogged up,

but Connor, unclogged Connor in the South Island. Yeah, no mercy here, boys. No mercy whatsoever. I will give credit to Hayley, though. That One Direction event does sound pretty good. It does, actually. I think we'll see you there. Badges, stickers, you name it. What's happening in the South?

Well, it is Conservation Week across our third oil this week, lads. And just to kind of pull you behind the curtain, when we were at the HITS boot camp a couple of months ago, Hayley told me she's actively praying for the downfall of native birds in this country. You can't. You're sabotaging. You're sabotaging, mate.

I was actually in that conversation. I could bounce, Connor. Yeah, that's right. So I don't know about you North Island polluters, but in the South Island, we care about the environment and we're putting some mahi in this weekend to save the planet. You can join Trees for Canterbury during a community planting day tomorrow, 10 to 12, at South Shore Reserve.

There's a barbecue afterwards as well. Now, I'm not sure how that works in the conservation week with the gas emissions and whatever. Don't think too hard about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Potato Point and Putakunui which is just north of Dunedin. Planting day there tomorrow as well, 10 to 3. And then I think it's Sunday at Motuweka Library. You can learn more about the native snail monitoring. He's all about the nature and the environment this week. He's all about the nature

and the environment this week. He's gone hippie on us. Now Hayley the bird hater is back on. Good riddance to all those natives. She's backing up. And because she's not backing down, we're going to give it to Hayley this week. Connor's gone woke and he's gone

broke. We're going to give it to Hayley this week. Connor's gone woke and he's gone broke, guys. Yeah, well, now the football has departed our shores. It's back to grassroots domestic entertainment, isn't it, Ben Boyce? And we were emceeing gigs, back-to-back gigs. We are, yeah. Corporate events. That's right. Friday night, Saturday night.

I tell you what, we will emcee anything. I mentioned it last week that we can do births, we can MC deaths, we can do marriages. The opening of a public toilet. You name it. Private toilets. Brendan, we'll get you on. What's happening this weekend for you, mate? Hey, just going on a cruise with some mates from Auckland to Auckland. Comedy cruise.

A comedy cruise? What does this involve? Just going around different comedy gigs? No idea, actually, to be honest. I don't know what I've signed up for. Are you on a boat or are you just going around? Actually, I'm asking questions you probably don't know the answer to. It's an actual passenger cruise. Oh, to Auckland.

Yeah. That sounds cool. And you don't know where you go? It goes Auckland to Auckland, but we don't know where you go? It goes Auckland to Auckland But we don't know where we go in between Auckland to Auckland Have trust in them Yeah

How many days are you going missing for? Three days Okay Well you call us next week Make sure you're home safe alright? No worries It sounds good We're going to send you out some hell pizza

Oh yes Thanks man Comedy crews There you go Disappear off the grid for three days. They come back. Oh, wow, that really got a way out of us. They vomit you back on the...

Maybe it goes out to international waters and you just do stuff. Maybe it's all the comedians. You're right. They're international waters. No laws. They can say anything they want. No one can be cancelled out there. No one gets offended.

Tracy, let's get you on. How are you in Stratford? Good, thank you. Why is it going to be a good weekend for you, Trace? Because I'm halfway through my chemo, so that's a plus for me, a really good plus. Oh, good on you. How are you feeling, mate? Crap, but I'm fine.

Yeah, chemo would knock you around. I imagine it would. Yeah, it does. I was laughing because my son's on that same comedy cruise this weekend. Oh, does he have any idea what's happening? It's brilliant because I've done it, yeah. Oh, you've done it? What happens on this suspicious cruise?

Are you allowed to talk about it or not? Yeah, you just actually, as you're going out to sea, and then you come back, so you don't actually, you go around, you know, don't stomp off anywhere, but it's actually totally amazing. Okay. Are there comedians on it? Yes, there are, and I will say that some of them are out of the water, so they can say what they like.

Oh! There it is. Okay. Gets a bit raw out on the ocean, the seven seas of comedy. Hey, Tracey, listen, I hope everything goes well with your treatment. You keep us up to date. Thank you so much. Send out some help, pizza.

A World Cup for the FIBA Women's World Cup happening on Sunday in Australia, of course, between England and Spain. And she's heading over there from the New Zealand Herald Sports Department.

Bonnie Jensen, welcome. Thanks, guys. Love it. I caught you mid-sneeze there. Sorry. Do you want to let it go? Release it if you need to. No, no.

It's all right. You can't. COVID's done now. It's behind us. Nice to have you here. The Football World Cup, I know you've been lucky enough to go to a lot of the games. You've been following it closely. How amazing.

It's been incredible, eh? It's been so incredible and that's been the highlight for me. I'm quite an optimistic person but I wasn't too hopeful that New Zealand would get around the event. And champagne Kiwis, isn't it? That we just wait till something's here then we get into it. Yeah, this was actually really

good. Not good for the confidence of the organisers leading into an event but when you put your event here, we'll into it. Yeah, we're like, this is actually really good. Not good for the confidence of the organisers leading into an event, but when you put your event here, we'll be there. No dramas will jump onto the bandwagon late, isn't it? There's only been one blemish, and it's the Spanish in Palmerston North. But we can get over that. But they made it to the final, so they were fine. They don't care.

They're in Australia now. Thank God we got out of there. But yeah, the final, okay, this Sunday night, it's quite late New Zealand time, but it's a shame for Australia that they weren't there, but it's going to be amazing games Spain taking on England. Yeah, I think on reflection, no team's been ripped off and the two best teams of the tournament are in the final.

Usually you can say someone crashed and burned and we're really unlucky on a penalty shootout or something but we've yeah we've got some two very world-class teams gonna battle it out on sunday and and they're both technically and tactically unreal so it's it's gonna be a good fight has this changed the perception of football in new zealand do you think oh absolutely i think everyone wants a taste of it now and whether you were a football fan or not before the tournament I think there sure are a lot more football heads and I just hope that New Zealand football work with you know Sport New Zealand and

optimize this and benefit after the Rugby World Cup as well I don't think it's been you know the hype's kind of dropped off and I just hope we can continue this momentum because it's been incredible. This weekend, Sunday night, I've got the kids, you know, university fund. I've taken that out. Who am I putting it on? I haven't.

I put it back in the account. I haven't got a university fund. Even worse. He's made up a fictitious fund, educational fund. I haven't got an educational fund. But anyway, but if I did have and I was taking that out, who would I put it on? I think England.

Both teams are amazing and Spain have a lot more to come in the next few years. But, yeah, England, you can't deny their professionalism in these major events. Well, Bonnie Jansen, have a wonderful bender in Australia. Thank you. Can we call you Monday morning? Yeah, it's a time difference doesn't work out that way great for you though i'll probably still be awake okay all right we'll try and call you monday morning and see how the final was we'll see if you answer thanks for your time through and not just today but throughout

the tournament it's been awesome oh thanks guys the hits the jonathan ben podcast you rung brock who works uh here at the hits with us. We were working out with Brock at the Bunnings Warehouse, and you said, oh, they've got great drip. Look at the drip. Use the term drip. A Gen Z slogan, a phrase that Gen Zs would use.

For an outfit. Yeah, and Brock was embarrassed. Secondhand embarrassment. Yeah, she was cringing, and yeah, she had to remove herself, physically remove herself 20 metres away from us, Ben, in no way wanted to be associated. She's a Gen Zer. And so yesterday you decided

to call her back and apologise for embarrassment. With some lingo, some dialogue that she could relate to. Oh, jeez. Have a listen. I feel bad. I was a bit choogy the other day. I'm sorry.

What's that about, Jono? I just came on a bit extra. Oh, did you? Yeah, I know it wasn't dope when I was like, hey, try this drip on. It hits different. Oh, Jono, secondhand embarrassment, honestly. Yeah. I'm slaying, bruh.

Slay, slay. Please stop. Yeah, don't stop. Seriously, stop. Are you thirsty? No, Jono, don't. Okay. All right.

Well, grab some clout. Oh, my God. What was the RIS levels on that call? Jono, that's enough. You're embarrassing everybody. Now everyone's got embarrassment. Oh, God. I was like, when John Key, when we planked? He did the planking.

And it was like a cross. We're like, well, it's no longer cool anymore. You destroy it. But one of the words that I don't think he really Googled the meaning behind was thirsty. Now you informed me of this earlier this morning. Did you research any of the words you were saying? I was like, nah, I just got a list, copied and pasted and rattled them off, seamlessly integrated them into the conversation, Ben.

Now, we've got Brooke back on because I think, Brooke, good morning, Brooke. Sorry to bring you back into the show again. Good morning, guys. How are we? You're better than this. You don't deserve to be here again, Brooke. But from what I gather, it seems that a public apology might be on the cards. Now, Ben had researched what thirsty meant.

Yeah, thirsty. You're on the line of lusting after someone. Are you thirsty? Along those particular lines. And for you to be saying that to someone. Was it an inappropriate word to be using, Brooke? I think it might be. But hey, Jono, we'll let that one slide.

But I need you to do one thing for me. Okay. Here we go. Okay, ready? Repeat after me. I, Jono Pryor. I, Jono Pryor. Promise to never use Gen Z language ever again.

Promise to never. Okay, before I make that promise, can I just do it? Can I have one more burst? No, there's no take back. I can claw it back, mate. I can claw it back. No, no. Listen, I know I shouldn't have used the reference thirsty.

That wasn't Gucci, man. But listen, I'm going to be bougie with you. I need to glow up. I'm waiting for you to say it. Come on. You've had your fun, mate. No cap. It was dry.

You've got to go to HR for a sexual harassment as well. It was dank and those are facts. And I'm sorry. And now I'll officially retire from using Gen Z language, okay? I'm out. I'm out of the game. It's a fun game to be part of, though, isn't it? Yeah.

We've got some poor radio school students next door right now, just heads and hands. They wanted to get into radio until you started talking. Now they hate everything about radio. I apologise. Never again, mate. Can we start from the... Apologies be accepted.

Thank you, Brock. All right. Thank you so much. I'm sorry for embarrassing you. Secondhand embarrassment. We call it secondhand embarrassment these days. Not even embarrassment to ourselves, to other people. We've reached a new life chapter, mate.

The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. I got into You know Because we just Played before An interaction I had With the

Gen Z Vocabulary Yeah And it's not for me But you kind of Got inside my head That maybe I need To be across this stuff

Right So I did some research Last night Into Instagram And social media And The protocol On the platforms.

Okay. And it was a list of 10 worst things you can do on the internet. Okay. And I just found the ordering of the list very interesting. So number three on the list is going on the dark web and buying nefarious goods on the dark web. Okay, so that's number three. Number three, one of the worst things you can do.

I can say that's pretty, yeah, that's pretty bad. Number two. The dark web scares me. I would never want to go on there. I don't want to look at it. Don't even want to say the dark web. No, I don't. We tried to get onto the dark web once.

We went on the dark web. You didn't want to go on. I wouldn't come into the room. I wouldn't even look at it. I don't want to be involved. Stuff I saw on the dark web. But that's number three. So buying jet planes and nuclear weapons and people on the dark web.

That's number three. Number two, scamming. That's the worst thing you can do. Number one is going back on old pictures on social media and liking photos from ages ago and i'm like this is the worst so i'm like buying kidneys from some poor bugger in thailand is less harmful on the internet than someone liking you liking a bikini shot of mine from 2019 yeah i think you're right the order is a little wrong but it's pretty bad. Like, it does, it's a bad look. Oh, why?

Well, it means you've gone deep. It means you're thorough. You've gone deep. I mean, it depends on what you're liking and who you're liking, you know, like, yeah. So give me some examples. Okay, so if it was Scott Barrett's Instagram account of photos of his ute. And you'd gone back deep, you're like, oh, you'll

like that one. He's gone through the mud on a farm. That's fine. But if you're going back- The ute hasn't changed much in five years, but I'll like all those photos. But going back to 2019, you're like, that was great.

It was a bit dirty that day when he took it out on the farm. I like that. I think that's fine. But, I don't know if I'm wrong here, Producer Joel, but if you're going-

Come on, guys. He's like, don't get me involved in this. We'll make mistakes. See, it must be the way. Joel is dead embarrassed right now. You guys are acting like it is worse than buying black market organs. To go back and then to like someone's thing.

Especially if you work with them in the same building, that's probably the worst thing you can do. Oh, Jono Pryor likes this photo from 2019. Yeah. Then I'm just going, hey, I'm having a look at history. Look through time. Yeah. Well, I just going, hey, I'm having a look at history. Look through time. Yeah. Well, I guess you're right.

The person has put it out there, but it just seems a bit. And so if you accidentally do it, can you undo that? I think so. Yeah, right. Quickly. Do they know you've gone, uh, uh? Normally you can undo it, but in my case, they were too quick and they saw it. Why has it happened to you, Joel?

It's happened to us. Yeah, someone in the building. Listen, if you don't want anyone perving on you, here's a tip. Turn 41 years old and lose your hair. No one's dipping back through my beat shots of 2018. The Hits, the John and Ben podcast. I just wondered before if my wife Amanda was the last person on earth still playing Word or she likes it. She actually enjoys it. A little break away from the day challenges herself it's probably like doing

a crossword or sudoku or something like that and she's still doing it every day i didn't realize that and it seems like a lot of people still are you struck a chord being boys being boys content this is a beautiful example if you're listening from broadcasting school of content striking a chord because the text machine is blowing up mate mate. There is a lot of support for Wordle. Sandy, you're still Wordling? Yes, absolutely. Every day. Yeah, and not just Wordle we understand. No, well there's other versions, Quirtle and Octurtle. They're also fun to do. So what are these versions? Are these word-related ones? I've seen ones where you have to get

countries of the world and places and things like that. Oh, yeah, I do those too, but the word ones, Quirtle, is you have to guess four words and nine guesses, and the other ones are eight words and 13 guesses. Oh. And it's, yeah.

Nerd. Nerdle. Nerdle. That is amazing. I respect that because I don't even know Where to start with those games You must have a wonderful brain Sandy And I feel very guilty For calling you a nerd

One day It's always first up And one day I'm going to be right It hasn't been right so far But he's like One day I'm going to be right It feels like wordle's Not going to lower itself to that He's like One day they'll run out of words And I to be right. It hasn't been right so far, but he's like, one day I'm going to be right. It feels like Wordle's not going to lower itself to that.

He's like, one day they'll run out of words and I'll be right. Sandy, one from Steph, still playing. Hi. And it's not just you playing, Steph. No, we've got a fam-bam Wordle, so there's about 10 of us that all compete each day. Funnily enough

No, Hilary Berry plays as well, and I saw a post on Facebook where she got it on the first word, not yesterday, but in the past. She got it on the first word?

Yeah, yeah. And I love the underdog. It's a loud, drunken family. Yes. Peter Ehrlich, you're going to be part of Symphony in the Snow this weekend in Queenstown with Nice and Ehrlich. Nice and Ehrlich. How long have you been going?

27 years. 27 years. I remember I saw you on the back of a Red Bull Hummer on Oroki Beach when I was 20 years old. And boy, what a day that was. Still recovering. You know what I remember is that we're on the back of that Hummer and there they never put cover over us.

And the sun came down onto Bevan's vinyl record. Oh, melting. Oh, really? Oh, of course. Bevan's never forgotten Red Bull. Never touched a Red Bull again. But those were wonderful days, and we've had so many great gigs, and we're still

going. That's so cool. It was cool to hear you just said before we started that you've really wanted to play this gig. And that must be amazing, after 27 years, to still have gigs that you want to play and knock off your bucket list. Very, very good point as I said when I went to the domain and saw you know the production and the effect that it was

having on people being a working dog an entertainer that you know whenever there's a crowd you know they're holding you know no Peter you know it's not your show I'll just give us one song I won't let you down and um i guess i haven't and you know blowing my own trumpet but um when i get up there i give it a hundred and i'm so excited to be not only will night and elix be playing the warm-up set um before the orchestra comes on when the orchestra's on and playing dick johnson has done this stonking remix of Bliss. Oh really? And so that's the last song.

That's so cool. Speaking of Bliss and the dudes era, Ben was saying Sacred Heart College, wonderful Catholic school in the Auckland school system. Ow! So I was reading last night, now is this true? Because obviously you, Dave Dobbin, went to score the same sign.

And Ian Morris as well. But the Finn brothers, were they there at the same time as you? Same time. Tim was two years ahead and Neil was one year behind us. So I played four A's, five A's and six A's with Neil. He was a good rugby player. Yeah, was he? Yeah, he was good.

He was a good rugby player. Yeah, was he? Yeah, he was good. He was a little halfback. And so the school just for some reason just had a huge group, Ricky Morris, of course. Oh, wow. He's just a huge group of people, Mike Chun and Jeff Chun. Because you're always so happy too,

Peter Ulrich. Yeah, well, yeah, I can, yeah, I won't tell you what that is. But Bliss is one. I love coffee But Bliss is one of those songs, too, you can sing along to. And it crowds today. We're 20 years old or something, you heard that song? Crazy how we were only together barely two years. And we didn't think Bliss was going to be a big song,

but it just won't go away. So I was saying in some of the other interviews, And we didn't think Bliss was going to be a big song, but it just won't go away. So I was saying in some of the other interviews, on a Monday morning, this is a phenomenon that happens just about every Monday morning for a long time. Ding! Oh, what's that? Someone sent me a video. It's a band doing Bliss at a 21st.

Peter, I thought you might like to see this one. Oh, yeah. Right, great. I'll put it in the file over the other ones. You might like to see this one. Oh, yeah. Right, great. I'll put it in the file over the other one. You might like to see this one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, you were together for two years, that bit. That's it.

Really? Yeah, we started in 1978 and broke up in 1980. Wow. And then, of course, Dave went on to do his great thing. He's done okay, hasn't he? He's done all right. Dave Dobbin, yeah. I think so.

Now, at these gigs, you must have seen some stuff. I'm not necessarily with the dudes, but the 27 years of Nice and Ehrlich, looking out into the crowd of party people. Like, is there one thing... What are you getting at? What are you driving at? Yeah, like, is there one thing you're like,

well, I certainly can't unsee that, that you could tell on breakfast radio. Yeah, that's the thing. No, I can't. Hasn't seen anything. Maybe John O'Prior in the sun on a Saturday afternoon. I'm going to give you a real soppy answer, and that's just smiling faces.

Seriously, when you're on stage and you see people closing their eyes or just smiling at you, and you've taken them away from their grind, the cost of living, the GST on vegetables, the potholes. We don't want to think about that all the time. No, you're right. No, so we go and we watch Nice and Little, whoever it is, and for two hours we find out that life can be, you know, a little bit more than that.

Oh, Peter Earl, it's just such a wonderful outlook on life you have. Love your attitude and congratulations on such a magnificent career and more so congratulations on the fact you're still enjoying it. Still going, still got the energy, still got the love. And can I just do a little plug for Manuka Farm who make this all possible because it costs millions to put these shows on. So without them, we wouldn't be happening.

So thanks, guys. It's been great. I've always wanted to come on this show. Another bucket list thing I can tick off. It's not quite simple, is it? No, I know. That's for sure.
