Three nights in Melbourne this weekend, four nights in Sydney. 86,000 people per night will be seeing her in Melbourne. They reckon more people are going to Taylor Swift in Australia than live in Tasmania. The entire population of Tasmania. In Sydney it's like four NRL finals back tomania. The entire population of Tasmania. Wow.

In Sydney, it's like four NRL finals back to back. That's what they're saying. And Air New Zealand put on 14 additional flights of Qantas as well. Air New Zealand's 1989

If they couldn't bring the show to New Zealand, have your New Zealand passport and put on a New Zealand show in Sydney. So, yeah, the final show is like,

I have been, I've just been loading in Travis Kelsey singing drunk yesterday which is quite possibly the greatest thing I think I've ever witnessed which will be playing for you very shortly.

Yeah, well yesterday I witnessed something, it could have been Travis Kelsey over the loudspeakers. I was getting food from the you know, the cafe, sort of restaurant place, and getting some takeaway. And while I was waiting, I was like, very unusual music that was playing in the store. And it's quite hard. I tried to record it. It's quite hard to hear because it was busy,

but it was death metal. Have a listen. Just real. I was like, wow, that is full noise. Just real, rawr, rawr. I was like, wow, that is full noise. What type of food place was this? Yeah, it was just like a takeaway sort of cafe type place. I'm like, wow, they're really going hard with the death metal music.

Tell you what, the death metal really is a whole other level. I like rock music, but even like heavy metal, but when you commit to the death metal. One o'clock in the afternoon, I'm like, Jesus, this is really, this is, yeah. Mid-afternoon, sunny day outside, death metal. Unusual, but hey. I've got some very, very, very metal cousins. Ben, you've met them.

Oh, yes, yeah. They're like full leather Harley Davidsons, and they came up for Slayer. Remember that? That's right. They came up for that, and we were working at The Edge at the time, and we're like, come Harley Davidsons. And they came up for Slayer. Remember that? That's right. They came in that. And we were working at the Edge at the time. And we're like, come meet us at the Edge.

And so they came into the Edge. They were lovely. They had a good time. Yeah. A good time. But they stayed with me for the entire weekend. They went to Slayer on Friday night. They didn't take off their leathers once.

Leather pants didn't slip to them. What time of the year was it? Was it warm? It was summer. It was summertime. It was Feb. Yeah, it was. Not once.

I tell you what, when you're a death metal fan, you commit. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. She is in Australia at the moment. She will be in New Zealand in a couple of weeks, playing Auckland and also in Dunedin. And she was, well, she was not let into a place. She was denied. She went along to the Manly Skiffs Club to have dinner.

She paid a deposit and had a booking, right? She had a booking, yeah. And she got turned away at the door. They said that she couldn't come in without ID. This is from someone who witnessed it go down. And she was like, but I've paid a deposit. I've got a booking. There's like 10 people.

I think they're, yeah. Like a little entourage, your family. What's the Skiffs Club? It sounds like the bloody cosy club or something. It's like over the water kind of yachting. I guess it's like a little restaurant. And then you eat there. Yeah, right.

Yeah. Okay. She'd paid a deposit. She'd paid a deposit. She'd done what she needed to do. Yeah. It turned out. She doesn't look like, you know, she's youthful, but she doesn't look 18.

She doesn't look under 20. Why are they ID youthful, but she doesn't look 18. She doesn't look under 20. Why are they IDing her? Or she couldn't go in without ID? As anyone over the age of 40, I love being IDed. And I feel like every time I go to pack and save, they're just doing it to make me feel a little better. Sometimes I linger my ID in my wallet being like, they're going to ask me.

They don't. They don't. No, mate, you look sufficient. So someone who witnessed this said that she got turned away. She literally walked away with her family. At no point did she throw her weight around or say, I'm pink, do you know who I am? None of that. A Google search could have proved, you know.

Now, in this situation, Ben, we're talking about this yesterday. You hate complaining. Okay, you've turned up. You've paid a deposit. You've got your name booking. What's been... I'll probably do the pink thing and just walk it away. You're like, all good?

It's all good. It's all good. No, I understand. I understand you've got policies and rules here. Have you not seen me on the TV? No. I'm Ben and Jono and Ben. That definitely wouldn't work.

All good, all good. Ben, a burger he ordered didn't turn up. And it was Amanda, your wife's burger, wasn't it? Yeah, we got all the way home to eat it. Yeah, and it wasn't there. And then so I rang up and the guy's, oh, sorry, Mr. and Mrs. I'm all good, all good. My wife's like, why do you keep saying it's all good?

It's not all good. I'm not eating a burger. And then we drove back, picked it up, and then I was like, all good, all good. She's like, stop saying it's all good. It is not all good. Maybe all good for you, but it's not all good. No, it's all good, mate. like, all good, all good. She's like, stop saying it's all good. It's not all good. Maybe all good for you but it's not all good. Nah, it's all good mate, yeah. It's all good mate, there you go. Oh, wow.

Okay. I'd love to see someone really do you wrong one day and you're like, it's all good. It's all good. All good. I'd like to do this on a Friday, look back at something iconic from yesteryear. And yesterday it was a big announcement here on the hits that cash and car is back. Thanks to Škoda. It's happening from Monday morning. You can win a brand new Škoda Karoq.

Valued at $46,000 plus or thousands of dollars in the boot. But it's a little different. Instead of guessing the cash amount this time, the total cash amount, we're going to be giving away daily prizes three times a day where you can win cash. You've just got to yell stop before the boot closes and you can win the cash in the boot that hour.

Yeah, we made a commercial for it and all of us are dressed as sleazy used car sales people. Megan, you look fantastic. Thanks. There's Peggy. Peggy. Peggy. Wearing blue taffeta. Big shoulder pads too.

They loved the shoulder pads in the 80s, didn't they? Yeah. The glasses, heels on as well. Yeah. Shoulder pads made you look like an NFL player, didn't they? Yeah, like Travis Kelsey. Yeah. Yeah, a little bit.

Ben Bush, you were sort of the owner of the car yard, pinstripe suit, slick glasses, probably a huge cocaine addiction. Looks a bit like a Republican. Yeah, he did look like a Republican candidate. Running for Senate or something. And I was dressed in all white, just white shirt, white jacket, white pants. Seedy as.

Yeah, definitely had some scandals, skeletons in his closet, that guy. You can catch the ad right now on the Hits Breakfast social media, but it sounds a little like this. I'm Ben here from the Hits Cashing Car car yard, and we've got a bargain for you. This brand new Škoda Karoq for the low, low price of three. That's right.

You pay nothing on this baby today, tomorrow, or forever, because that's how free works. We'll even chuck in thousands and thousands of dollars. Yeah, Manny McLean, PJ's in it as well, so you can check that out right now on The Hits Breakfast. Because we are doing a car ad, we thought we'd look at some old-school car ads in Friday Flashback. Yeah, this is, I don't know if you remember this,

I have vague recollections of seeing this commercial as a child, a very young child. Now, it was probably teetering on the verge of cancellation. So you had a New Zealander putting on a Russian voice selling a Lada. Do you remember the Lada? I do remember the Lada.

Russian automotive. Was it from Russia or something? Hopefully it was. Now I'm teetering on cancellation. But very hardened, Eastern European automotive. It does say Russia online. Design, yeah.

Take a listen to the commercial. Electric windows. Remote controlled central locking. Air conditioning. Electronic rear vision mirrors. All of these sophisticated features are missing from new Lada Samara. With Lada, you pay for nothing but car. Priced up to an exorbitant $17,495.

They don't have any functions. There's like no features. Also, that was a selling point. We've got no features. You're lucky if you get breaks. You don't have any functions it's like no features also that was its selling point we got no features you're lucky if you get breaks you don't pay for it it's almost

Count Dracula ish yeah I know how many different accents it was like hey Greg can you do a Russian

accent yeah yeah sure I think so hello is there a car so yeah there was a lot of commercial I do enjoy going onto a car yard i told a story

once we bought a car about eight years ago for my wife jennifer and i met the car dealer wayne okay and he was incredible wayno and he said we sat down at his desk we decided to buy it and he's like now jennifer jon Jonathan can I ask you a question why would you want to use your money when you can use ours and we're like

Yeah. Lovely to have you with me. Lovely to be here. Where's this going? Tim, Tim. Yeah, I know. It's lovely to have Tim on the phone as well. Yeah, but I love it.

It's always nice to be welcomed along by you. Last week we spoke to this man, and he was about to embark on something that less than 50 people have done over the course of the lake, swim across Lake Taupo. And Tim Wilson is with us now. You there? Oh, thank you, guys. I'm so pleased to speak to you from terra firma land. I'm a bit more relaxed.

Well, last week you were going into a, well, it was going to be the weekend. It ended up happening during the week. We're going to swim across Lake Taupo, which you were saying that not many people in the world have done this. In fact, more people have climbed Mount Everest than swam across the lake. Yeah, I've done a little bit more digging. I had a lot of time to think about it. Yeah, there's less than 50 people have crossed the lake yeah it's um i've done a little bit more digging i had a lot of time to think about it yeah there's less than 50 people have crossed the lake which is 40.2 kilometers

um and actually only two british people as well i'm the first yorkshireman to have crossed it so i'm pretty pretty proud um i i just have to say you know i can't thank you guys enough and the listeners you know the whole crowd waiting for me of hits listeners on the bank. You know, a crowd of hits listeners. Oh, that's awesome. They never turn up for anything we do. No. We've got listeners?

So after 17 grueling hours, it brought me to tears. I was pretty emotional. But there is two things that got me through, and smiling and laughter and positivity was obviously really important because you're spending a lot of time in your mind. But one was you crossing Topo in an inflatable bouncy castle. That did make me laugh for some of those dark periods I was going through. You were doing it all for Starship.

Yeah, I took a look. You were doing it all for Starship. Yeah, I took a look. I'm doing it. There was a point at 20K where it was a bit of a coward tactic, really. I gave my, I've got a friend, Ellie, who's absolutely amazing. She was on the support crew for nutrition. And I thought to myself, if Ellie says I can give up now and get in now, Ellie basically said, look, you're doing it for the kids. It's no.

Continue swimming. So, yeah. What a good and terrible friend at the same time. Yeah, so, you know, I'm really always doing it for the kids at Starship Hospital. And admissions are up 25%. I saw almost 8,000 more admissions every year, so things aren't getting easier. I see these kids go through huge challenges

and act of bravery every day. So, yeah, one day of swimming was nothing compared to what I see every day. The 40K, 17 hours. Were you pretty happy with, you know, 17 hours? Oh, look, it's a long time, and it wasn't a race. It was always just completion. But just to make it harder, I got to Taupo Town,

and there's a river system there that started to kick in. Oh, really? Petaling gets the tide, the currents. Exactly. And then I got a headwind of like, oh, my God, I can see everyone. I can see everyone waiting for me. But the last 500 metres took me 40 minutes, which would normally take me about eight minutes in the pool.

So, yeah, look, it was completion. So I was just absolutely stoked to get across. The Hits The Jono and Ben Podcast We were talking earlier though during the week Megan a topic we've

I don't think we've ever brought up before No not at all and I'm 10 years older than my husband Are you? Yeah I did not know

I did not know that It's not actually that much either No I think it's just more jarring when the woman's older for some reason. I'm sorry we keep bringing it up, but, you know,

but it's something to talk about and we enjoy it. So Megan is 10 years old now. Because we've talked about everything that we can talk about, Ben, you and me. We've got nothing left. So we've got a new person in the fold. We're just going to keep talking about what you've got. It's not too much.

I mean, Amanda's like a year older than me or something like that you know but i love just got this having it she'll go do you know about this i'm going no sorry it must be an older older person thing she's like you're a year it's a year i'm like yeah no would have been before my time you know shut up grandma yeah anyway we did uh take some calls on you know the biggest age gaps and someone actually emailed us uh last night um about his grandfather and who he's dating. His name's Yak, who is with us. Hey. How are you?

Nice meeting you, sir. Yeah, we're doing really well. We're talking about the biggest relationship age gaps. Now, it's your granddad coming in. How old is your grandfather? 87. Okay, 87. Had a great life so far?

Yeah, no, had a full life. A full life. Which is the stuff you would have seen over 87 years of living. Imagine what, like even the introduction of the cell phone. I was there for that. But the stuff that your granddad would have seen from when he started to where we've ended up. Wild. Yes, no.

So he's 87 years old. And how old's your granddad's partner she's uh 32 oh no i see so she's younger than i am 32 how did they how did they meet if you don't mind me asking i'm not actually sure yeah he kind of surprised us with it um so So my grandmother passed away a few years ago and yeah, he just kind of started meeting people and just one day at a family reunion he introduced us.

Wow. A bit of a shock to everybody. 55 years I've just done the maths on that. That's a good gap. And that is good maths on the spot too. Good radio, live radio. Yaku, I hate to ask this question, but do the family get a bit suspicious about her intentions? Yes, but it's been made very...

My mother actually spoke to him and said, no, she feels that this is the case. And he said, well, he doesn't really care. His money, it's his life and he can do what he wants. That's a good attitude. He's having a good time. Yeah, it is. And he seems happy?

They seem very happy? He's happy. He says he enjoys their company. I bet he does. 32. That sounds a lot tiring, though, doesn't it? If you're 87, you're like, whoo. Jeez, okay, you want to work out?

Oh, here we go. He's got nothing else to do. He can sleep, you know. I mean, Megan, you were to Here we go He's got nothing else to do, he can sleep, you know I mean, Megan, you were discussing Just a couple of days ago The musical differences between you and your husband Andrew Ten years apart, and you're like He doesn't even know who Pink Floyd is

Imagine bloody Yaku's grandad and his 32 year old partner Frank Sinatra Bing Crosby, you haven't heard of Bing Crosby? You could introduce him to Harry Styles. Has she got him into social media and TikTok, Yaku? He's a bit on it, but not TikTok or anything like that.

He's a very difficult man, so he just kind of stays in his lane, but he's quite happy with the company he's keeping at the moment. Sounds like he's living his best life, doesn't he? Yeah, that's for sure. 87 years? Oh wow, there we go. I think he actually used those words to my Sounds like he's living his best life, isn't he? Yeah, that's for sure. 87 years, oh wow, there we go.

I think he actually used those words to my mother, he's living his best life. He's like, yeah, but with a 32 year old. Oh, that is brilliant. Hey,

thank you, I appreciate your time and sharing. No worries, have a good one. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. We're about to drop a new single. It's been in the works

over the last couple of days. My son Oscar, actually, we went to an RSA. Because he's always like, what is that all about? The RSA. He'd been asking for a while. And I was like, oh, it's an organization set up for people who served at war. And nowadays, it's a building where young people go who don't want to be ID'd when they preload Very cheap drinks

It's like a grey haired gang pad The RSA But it's one of the Food, pool, pokies Generous pours of wine They do cheap wine too Very cheap, everything's cheap And he's sitting there and he said

Dad, there's not much you can do For me in life But you can do for me in life, but you can do songs, dumb songs. Why haven't you done Party in the RSA? Genius. After Miley Cyrus' of course. Now, Party in the USA, Party in the RSA, it was sitting there the whole time, wasn't it?

It was. 2009. I was just about to say, 2009. So what, 15 years ago? Yeah, yeah. 15 years ago, Miley Cyrus. And we, it's low-hanging fruit, Ben. Yeah, I know.

We've missed a trick here. So we thought we could redeem ourselves. We actually rang an RSA the other day just to get, you know, we were brainstorming some ideas about what we could include in a party in the RSA song, and here was the call to the RSA. What's great about the RSA? Oh, people, staff. We play jingo.

We've got pokies. Yes, we do have gaming machines. Pool cues. Yeah, pool, poker. Courtesy van. Yes, we do have a courtesy van. There's a bistro, and you can have bistro meals. Thursday and Fridays we have raffles.

Yeah, meat raffles, money raffles, and in-season oyster raffles. So there we raffles, money raffles, and season oyster raffles. So there we go. That was the content we needed for the song. And we've done a collab. A collab with AI to present the song because we have zero singing ability. Ladies and gentlemen, may we present to you Party in the RSA. I hopped off the courtesy van with Rex in his polo on his car again. Welcome to the home of return service.

Am I going to get in? I walked through the door visitors book on my sign. Look to my right and there's four dollar white wines They say Gen Z is lazy, everybody's here so great Set to the wall is about a hundred pool sticks Ate the crab sticks and now I'm nervous Then open and turn on the radio A Sinatra song was on

While the meat bread was drawn Someone calls in John So I put my hands up and plan Think no next living goes my way I'm drinking a bar of buck beer The bar lady calls me dear I want the jackpot, the plan The slask, his glasses in the tray

Hey, it's a party in the RSA Hey, it's a party in the RSA It was there the whole time. It was there. It's like we're too late. We're too late. 15 years too late. It was fun though. Party in the RSA.

We'll give that another spin on Monday and check it on the podcast. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. Sometimes I need to not overthink things in my life because the more I overthink things, the more I sort of, it affects me.

It affects me a lot. I didn't used to, when you're younger, you don't think about a lot of stuff, consequences and all sorts of stuff. No, you do. You start to turn into a pussy.

Uh, don't you? Uh, you eventually grow up and you start to think about, Oh, I could hurt myself there. Or just having a conscience about things as well, which is, I guess,

That's not a bad thing. That's not a bad thing in some ways, but we've got like, we had some wasps that have been hanging around the property of late. And then yesterday we discovered there was a wasp nest, a wasp home. Okay. And like up in the house and we're like,

well, that's what's creating all these wasp nests. And so I Googled online how to get rid of it. And they're they're like well if you're going to spray anything on it do it at night time because the least expected that's when they're all home and i'm like i'm going to do it but i feel like they're all these the poor wasp family they've got home for the night oh that's a good day of wasping they're all in there together yeah i have no idea what's going to happen that's they're sleeping it's the best time. He's coming in for a gassing. I know. And I was like, my wife and dad's like, can you go deal with the wasp thing?

I'm like, I don't know. I just feel bad for the wasp family. I'm expecting their home. And she's like, what? You're starting to feel bad for the wasp family? Because the more I read about the wasp and their home together at night, I'm like, oh, they don't need this. They don't need me coming up and spraying them with stuff in the middle of it.

Yeah, genocide on the poor thing I see what you're saying But it's also like feeling sad for the Trump family The Trumps of the flying insects But do they deserve the surprise attack? They're better than going, oh this is coming They didn't know it was coming True, they didn't know it was coming

Did you attack them? Well, no I haven't yet But I've got on my titty. They'll be breeding. Wasps are the only ones that I don't feel bad about squishing. Well, I've seen about flies, because I don't feel bad about flies. But then once you see that, I'm like, well, now should I feel bad about flies? Because I really detest flies.

But flies aren't going to sting you or bite you or whatever it is. They just feel like they bring in just horrible stuff, because when they just feel like they're like bringing just horrible stuff because when they land and then they bring it inside and they're like flies are friendly like they're like oh yum yum licky licky you know but fly a wasp like very aggressive i don't know what the wasp's purpose is you know how everything's got a purpose in in the cycle of of life yeah like the bees feel like they've got a purpose. Yeah, they're doing stuff. What is it? What? It's kind of like

David Seymour just unnecessarily annoying people. We're just trying to encourage you to do wasp genocide when you get home today. Okay, right. Have you seen

the bloody flying ants? They're new to the market, the insect market. Ants with wings. What? Yeah. You sure you weren't watching Paul Rudd

in Ant-Man? I was like... Paul? Is that you? Maybe it is. What? Yeah. You sure you weren't watching Paul Rudd in Ant-Man? Paul? Is that you? Maybe it is. Somewhere along the line, a fly has had its way with an ant. No. And that's the thing about it on Friday morning.

Flying ants. I try to pay my kids because I hate the flies, paying them to like to – I basically put a hit out on some flies a while ago. I was like, I'll pay you 50 cents for every fly you get with a fly swatter. Oh, amazing. And they came home and they were like, look at all the flies we've got. I was like, oh, great.

But what I didn't realise is they'd been opening the door getting more flies in just to get more money. Yeah, 100%. Well, you locked, one summer you locked your family inside and he wouldn't open doors or windows. No. Through the heat of summer. Just because he wouldn't want to fly. Get the doors shut.

I'm turning into one of those people anyway. So I'll try not to overthink it. I'll see if I can deal to the wasp at the moment. Just get Amanda to do it. Yeah, I probably should actually. The decent thing to do is move out of your house. Let them have their house. Let the wasps take over.

Exactly. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Of course, tonight is the first night Taylor Swift starts her Australian tour. Three nights in Melbourne, four nights in Sydney next weekend. A whole lot of Kiwis over there. People from our workplace flying over. I'm very, very jealous of them right now.

Well, her boyfriend, he's on his own tour. His bender tour of America after winning the Super Bowl. Day four of it. I think he's bent the bender so hard it's almost broken. Yesterday they were at a parade and he grabbed the microphone. Now, at any point I would have thought maybe someone on team management, teammate, hey, why don't you sit this one out, you know? I don't think they care.

No, they don't. It's so weird because in New Zealand if the All Blacks behaved like this, they would get reprimanded, right? If they got drunk and started drunkenly singing on stage, everyone would be like, no, not appropriate. Because we're boring. Over there, they love it. They embrace it.

They celebrate it. Give it to the drunkest guy on the team. Give him the microphone. And I don't think anyone's told Travis how a microphone actually works. You don't need to yell into it. The microphone is doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Taylor could maybe give him some advice. Exactly.

But he's got a new album out now. If you know this song, sing along. Out now, Taylor Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelsey, yells songs into a microphone. The Kansas City Chief of Singing. Blame it all on my roots. I showed up in boots and ruined the night in Savannah. A man so drunk, no one even knows what song he's singing. Honey, we do what I never... What?

Some would say, leave the singing to your missus, mate. Viva Las Vegas! Viva Las Vegas! Taylor Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, yells songs into a microphone. You gotta fight for your right to party! Out now. Hold on, cut that, cut that, cut that, cut that. I want everybody a part of this thing. I love how he stops the band.

Hey, professional musicians, stop doing what you do all the time. Or maybe he'll be at Taylor next week in Sydney Maybe he can open up for Taylor on stage And maybe she can give American football a go At some point too The hits The Jono and Ben podcast And your friend did something wildly inappropriate at the hospital

Yeah And they'd see a lot of inappropriate stuff at the hospital They would Yeah I've been doing some charity this week My friend's had surgery on her nose She wants me to say it's not a nose job Sounds like a nose job

Screaming nose job So she's got one of those things under your nose Like taped up After you have a nose job for all the dribbly bits It could sound like she's had a rampant addiction problem as well Deviated section Those are the only two options Which does she want?

Ask her what she wants One of the two Those are the only two options. Which does she want? Ask her what she wants. Publicly disowned radio. One of the two. So she was telling me the story of when she went in. She was like, do you know what? I had a really attractive anesthesiologist. I was like, wow, okay. It was like young and quite cute.

So she was like, oh, God, is this going to be hard given that I'm going to be in a vulnerable situation? So first of all, she went in there and he was like, what do you do? And I don't actually want to say where she works. She asked him what he did or he asked her? He asked her. Yeah, don't say where she works. But she was like, I work in concerts, which he then proceeded to list every concert that he'd been to.

And she was like, I haven't done any of those. Then he was like, okay, so you have to take off your clothes and she was like, I haven't done any of those. Then he was like, okay, so you have to take off your clothes. She was like, oh, goodness me. Don't mind if I do. Okay. What's he got to do with a nose job?

She was like, do I have to be naked? Because she has to go on to general anaesthetic. You have to wear the... You need your nose done first so those clothes are going to... She was like, wait a second,

do I have to be like naked in front of this cute guy? And they're like, no, no, you get to wear like a robe Oh right She put the robe on Rather than taking

Yeah So she's you know Panicking that she's going to be Naked in front of this hottie He Then when she was on the table He was like Okay instead of counting to ten

We're going to like Oh just chat to you about You know Like what's your favourite drink And she was like A bit of a rosé gal You know You're going to take me out afterwards.

So she's obviously like, this is great. Yeah. I feel like this is not a flirty environment. Absolutely flirting with this anaesthesiologist. But then he was like, okay, small prick. And she was like, before or after the wine?

Goodness me. So yeah, like as she's coming to, she's just really worried that she's going to be like chatting up this hot anaesthesiologist. Well, because I guess she's coming to She's just really worried that she's going to be like Chatting up this hot anesthesiologist Well because I guess she's not going to know When she goes under the influence Of what they need to do

Like a lot of people that come out They say wild and crazy things It was her first time So she ended up just like chatting to the nurses About lots of inappropriate things And you'll be pleased to know The anesthesiologist didn't Oh he wasn't there He wasn't there Oh right, but she's telling the nurses What she's going to know the anaesthesiologist didn't. Oh, he wasn't there.

He wasn't there. Oh, right. But she's telling the nurses what she's going to do to the anaesthesiologist. They'll be like, oh, gee, that guy. If I was a medical professional, I couldn't trust myself. When people were under anaesthetic, I'd be like, what's your password to your internet banking?

Yeah. You know, you'd get all sorts all, garner all sorts of, worst thing you've looked at on the internet. Yeah, that's true. I remember one time when I was coming to, I just was really concerned about the giraffes in the world and I was asking the nurses if they could please take care of the giraffes. I don't even know, I wasn't like,

I was down a giraffe rabbit hole on the internet beforehand. I just. That was what popped into your mind at that time. Yeah. But it is, you see lots of videos on social media of people, especially after dental routine situations where they're mambling and rumbling all kinds of weird things. And the family film it and put it on TikTok.

Love it though. Got to love your family, don't you? The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. I want to know what you did uh but basically when you came out of surgery when you were still under the effects of the drugs that they put into your system happened to taylor swift i was just watching before her mom sent some footage to jimmy fellon the talk show after she had eye surgery what's about the banana she was crying over banana she like she was opened up like the banana got one out she was this is not the one i wanted

but it's just like it's fine what What do I do with this one now? It's got no head. She's like, it's fine, it's fine. Very upset about a banana in that situation. She killed a banana

or something. Keats, we'll get you on. What do you say while you're under anesthetic? Hey. How are you, mate?

Yeah, I'm good. What did you, what happened to you? So, I had two problem teeth. I have a blind disorder, so I can't go to a dentist like normal people and get my teeth removed. So I have to get put under, get all the good stuff,

and I come out talking a whole lot of stuff. And so what have you said? So what have people told you you've said? Well, when I got my teeth out, apparently from watching that video, my vomit bowl was a present that they gave me. Oh, no, you've sent us audio of this. We'll have a listen to the vomit bowl audio.

Okay. You do. of this. We'll have a listen to the vomit bowl audio. Okay. No way! You do. No. No. No. What do you really think it is if you don't think that you vomited in there?

I don't know. Some sort of... Some sort of present? That was a present. Good on your friend for filming that as well. Thanks, Keats. You're going to have a wonderful day. Lynn, we'll get you on. What did you say while you were on anaesthetic, Lynn?

I actually woke up while I was having liposurgery. You woke up? That's my worst nightmare. Yeah, and I just woke up and looked up, and I could see the guy, the surgeon, whamming the rods through my stomach, and really just like on TV, the pump at the side going whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. And the nurse at the end taking obviously one full of fat away.

And I was just like, sat up like as much as I could and said, what the hell? I later found out, which is a total story and my life to a T, he was practising illegally in New Zealand and he was banned from Australia. Oh, you went to a bloody backyard lipo guy. Dr Nick of the Simpsons, it sounds like. Hi, everybody. Yep, and $14,000 later and I'm gone from a size 16 to a 22. Oh, is a jerk.

What, so he made you bigger? Yeah, well, obviously I've got little marks on my skin, like little bumps, and some of them are kind of like a, what you'd probably look a bit like a melanoma thing, where he'd put the bits in even to my skin, and my body, where the wads went in. He gave them a hell of a fright when you sat right up. She was.

Yeah, I mean, I just can't believe it. And I obviously may be naive, never ask the right questions, obviously, because when you go home and then you continue in this rat and you bleed for three days, it's like, oh, it was horrific. I don't know how anyone could ever do it. Oh, my luck, I got the biggest cowboy out there. Wowee. I'm glad you're okay out there. Wowee.

I'm glad you're okay now, Lynn. Hi. Thank you for your call. There you go. Well, you just kind of trust, don't you, if you go to a liposurgeon that they know what they're doing? Yeah, you do. You don't need to see their credentials. Chanel, you're on.

What did you say while you were on anaesthetic, mate? Oh, hiya. I was having my twins, so in the operating room, pretty sedated, I guess you could say And as they wheeled me out My sister-in-law was in the corridor And she's single at the time And as I'm going past her I said

Oh my gosh you should have seen the doctor He was so hot And then little did I know That he was actually behind my bed Pushing it along With the nurses Just a little wink to your sister-in-law I think it's going to be this look was actually behind my bed, pushing it along. There's a little wink to your sister along.

I think it's going to be this look, kind of like half smirking, half laughing. No idea. And the doctor's going, yeah, I am. Thank you, Chanel. Really appreciate it. You go and have a great day. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Who's having the best weekend? Well, the answer to that question is probably the people going to Taylor Swift this weekend.

But for the rest of us stuck here in New Zealand, we want to find out who's having the best weekend, the North Island or the South Island. And now we're going to bring Hayley on from the North. She works for the Hits in Wellington, does the day show across the Hits as well. And Connor is based in Christchurch. Now, Hayley, I don't want to put you at a disadvantage, but Connor is coming to us from a burning inferno.

He's dealing with a lot. How are things in Christchurch this morning, Connor? It's sounding a bit more optimistic by the looks of things, which is good. Emergency services are doing an amazing job. I think there's some good news on the way today. Providing the wind doesn't do anything ridiculous. That's good, so over to you

Hayley, why is the It's hard to come up with the back of that Why is the North Island This is a really hard act to follow I'm having to quickly assess my options Why is the North Island better this week? Wow, would you

believe it if I said in the little town of Mungify tonight, Rod Stewart is playing? Oh. Rod Stewart? No, I probably would believe that, actually. No, but a tribute impersonator called Rud Stewart is. I think we've spoken to Rud Stewart before, I think. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, he would have known then. He's been doing it for 18 years apparently he looks just like him does he sound just like him well I'll YouTube

Brad Stewart and I'll find out you know what I saw a poster for the other day a Michael Jackson tribute oh okay

how are we sitting on that one I feel like better better now isn't it I feel like we've moved on

from maybe that 2024 I mean it's not it on from maybe that. 2024. I mean, it's not an R. Kelly tribute. I definitely think Rudd Stewart has aged a little better than the Michael Jackson. Now, I found some Rudd Stewart here.

We would like to have a quick listen. Here we go. He's got the husky. Although the first comment on his video And it's a really good point They're like Why do we need a tribute to Rod Stewart He's still alive Yeah but he's not coming to New Zealand He's playing in Bugify

You're right so I guess we do need a tribute Minor details Minor deets Well he's performed at the Petone Workingmen's Club here. Now we're going to go to Christchurch. Connor, why is the South having the best weekend, mate? Well, Rudd's church is a bit of a sore spot for me because I met him a few years ago as well

and he was overly flirtatious with my girlfriend at the time, actually. Oh, hey. We are no longer together. Did she run off with Rudd? Aw. He was very charming. It was very charming. It was very charming. I mean, listen to his voice.

Oh, it's so, yeah, it's very sexy. All right, what's happening in the South? I'm a man after your heart this morning, Ben, because on Sunday, they're back for their first of two games this year in 2024. The Waz are in Christchurch this weekend. I'm very excited. I hear it's a big crowd, potentially a sellout.

Producer Taylor's husband, Marcelo Montoya, is a captain of the side this weekend, which is very cool. Oh, I heard that. It was very exciting for Marcelo. Look, last year it was freaking awesome. I was there as well. The crowd was packed. I was the ground announcer.

I had to tell people to stop stomping their feet because the stadium was going to collapse under the pressure. Oh, wow. It's going to be a good one again this weekend, taking on the West Tigers. I was looking at the team sheet. I'm a bit gutted because Solomon Alomalo, who I went to high school with, he won't know who I am.

He played for Canterbury, just been in the NPC season, and he's just been signed by the West Tigers as well. So a pretty cool homecoming for him. But either way, it's going to be awesome in Christchurch to see the Warriors back in town. Can I just say, hey, listen, I love a streak as much as the next person. But let's not go crazy on the streaking.

When we take the Warriors out of Mount Smart, for some reason, they're just naked. People need to run across the field. Just doing the game. There's a lot going on. It's not going back to the Hawks Bay. They can't take it back to the Hawks Bay now after that streak. A tsunami of streaking. Streak fest.

Tell me one thing, what island is the Hawks Bay in? What highland island is the Hawke's Bay now after that streak. A tsunami of streaking. Streak fest. Yeah, it was. Tell me one thing. What island is the Hawke's Bay in? What highland island is the Hawke's Bay in? Okay, okay. You're saying it's not going to happen in Christchurch, not on your watch. Oh, well, listen. Now, someone needs to make the call.

Megan, who is having the best weekend? You can't go past Christchurch. Yeah, Christchurch. Also because, yeah, Rudd ran off with Connor's girlfriend. He didn't. I've got to give it to Connor. He's pulled on the heartstrings today. Next week, Hayley, maybe if you come with a burning inferno,

we could lean towards you. Well, yeah, I'll probably be in prison if I make it happen, but I'm willing to take the risk. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. if I make it happen, but I'm willing to take the risk. Now, an Air New Zealand flight was being taken by some guys on their stag do, and the guy whose stag do it was, he was blindfolded, and he had no idea where the flight was going,

and even the pilot on Air New Zealand had a bit of fun. He was informed about it, and he said this on the PA. I actually would say where we're going, however, we have one gentleman aboard and he's a stag do, and he's very good friends

and managed to get him all the way through the airport and on board the aircraft, and I believe he has no idea where we're going. So if you want to make sure you're on the right aircraft, just check with someone beside you and they'll be going to the same place as the airport on the flight aircraft. So obviously he was desperate to know where they were going,

but even the pilot. Where were they going? I don't actually know. I don't know. I think also is the first time in history that you could actually understand what the pilot was saying on an airplane. Incredible stuff.

Now, what happened to you? How did you get told off in public? This really affects me when I get told off, especially by strangers. No one likes an adult telling off. No. And then I thought about it all day. It's different, as they say.

I was like really upset about it. So you can tell me if you think I'm in the wrong here, but I always do click and collect shopping now. Okay. Because it's just so much quicker. Already in the wrong. I always buy my groceries online. I go and pick them up.

But, you know, between doing it and when you go to the grocery store sometimes you need more um so all right so you go down and get them from the from the store yeah especially for like my pack and save oh should I have no they're not in the wrong so I can say it's pack and save uh but it takes a couple of days so I have to do the groceries online and then I go and pick it up two days later because that's the wait. So by that time, I'm like, okay, well, I need X, Y, Z more. So I go into the store and I buy groceries. Yep. And then I go and pick up the ones I've already ordered.

So I've got two trolleys. Gotcha. But now at supermarkets, they have the click and collect car parks. So if you're just going in to quickly buy your or pick up your groceries, they have the separate car park. You've got car parks designated to every section of society now. And I get a couple of those.

I can get the click and collect one. I've got the babies. I park in them sometimes. Oh yeah, you saw that sweet time, eh? Yeah, but when you don't have the kids. What about the people who've just had a bit of a shit day? They should have a car park for those people. Just have a win or there's a car park for me

It used to be provable So I These car parks are always free They're right at the front and I was like well I did click and collect So I parked there But of course I went in It took me about half an hour to go around And get my groceries

And then I bought two trolleys out You should have moved your car Someone said to me, this is for click and collect only. So who was this someone? Or was this someone who worked in... No, it was just a... No, not someone who worked at PaxPace.

A busybody. A carer. Yeah, yeah. It was a female. And they, yeah, they said, this is for click and collect only. And I was like, I have clicked and collected.

And I've also gone... Now I'm doing some more collecting. I've gone in and collected some more. So yes, I was there for probably half an hour. But were you holding up? Were they trying to get into that car park? No, they'd parked.

People need to shut up. So there was three click and collects. I was in one, they were in the other and one was free. But am I breaking the rules? Because then I felt really bad. You're definitely breaking the rules? Because then I felt really bad. You're definitely breaking the rules.

But you are click and collecting at the same time. It doesn't say, but if you have to go pick up some more, then you can't park here. Yeah, I feel like that's a mind your business situation from the lady, but you know. Thanks, Ben. Am I breaking the rules when I park in the pregnant park, the baby park?

Yes, definitely, definitely. I did that before I had children and I got notes left on my window when you were just pregnant but you had a baby on board yourself no when I wasn't pregnant there were so many of them they're so right outside the store

but I don't do that now now you're still parking the disabled ones
