The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Cheers to Dilma, making the world a better tea. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend back from Christchurch. A couple of days in Christchurch was lots of fun. A huge weekend for Christchurch. Yeah, it was. Electric Avenue, have you been to that before, Megan? No, I haven't. Huge festival.

It looked awesome. Kind of like the big day out from back in the day. 35,000 people. It's just massive. Four stages, areas and stuff. Chemical Brothers were there. That would have been cool yeah that was cool really amazing laser show with chemical brothers they had these big neon people walk almost like walking

these people these giant neon sort of they were on stilts through the crowd it was pretty cool wow nothing quite uh quite like you know drunk 21 year olds coming up to you and saying you're a huge part of my childhood at age nine. That's good for the old ego. But no, we had a really fun time and we actually surprised Pia, a very sweet young girl who's 660's biggest fan. She's got a 660 Instagram account. She draws 660 artwork. Huge fan and flew from Tauranga by herself

to go see the band. Yeah, that's how big a fan she is. And we kind of knew about her and she was a big fan. So we thought maybe we could put her in touch with the band. Like she'd never actually met the band. And we kind of tricked her a little bit into thinking she was doing a little video with Connor from The Hits and Canterbury. To give a message to Eli, the drummer, who's leaving the band. And then we came up and surprised her during that message.

I just want to say farewell to Eli. drummer who's leaving the band and then we came up and surprised her during that message I just want to say I feel well to Eli um he's amazing oh my god hi guys how you doing good oh my god hi you are New Zealand's biggest 660 fan I sure am how would you feel about going to watch the band do soundcheck for electric head and meeting and or greeting the band oh my god my God. Yes, please. Oh, my God. Yes. Please. Oh, my God.

You want to go see them now? Yes. They're about to do a sound check out there right now, and then we're going to meet them afterwards. Oh, my God. If you've ever dreamed of watching 660 go one, two, check two, two, then this is the day. Oh, my God.

I'm actually shaking. This is so much fun. You're a big fan. That's pretty cool. So we took a long sound check. It was just us three, the three of us watching them do sound check. No one else, which is pretty cool.

It was like an exclusive, like we were like some big celebrity that we just hide them out for exclusive enjoyment. I don't know if our presence is that close to the bell. I don't know how they felt about it. We were a little put off. We were just staring them dead in the eyes. It would be like us

reading, you preparing your news and people staring at you as you're rehearsing. It's not the crowd they're used to. They're usually jumping and yelling and you're just like, hey. And then you felt like once they had done a song I felt like you had to go, woo! It was like the smattering of applause echoing out over the stadium. But the guys were so generous

and we managed to get Pia backstage to meet them all for the first time. And she just nailed it. She did a speech. You know those situations can be a little bit awkward when you meet someone or you kind of don't know what to say. But she had been thinking about this and probably only had about 15 minutes to think about it

by the time she knew this was happening. But she, in front of everyone everyone in front of her idol 660 just made a speech it was awesome you guys have changed my life I've been through a pretty rough patch

in the last few years and your music has helped me a lot so being here today to meet you guys is really surreal for me so thanks for the opportunity

all the best Eli with everything yeah I can't wait to see you guys later how good was that she's so composed yeah that's what I would have done I was doing that

I was sobbing but they were very emotional about that and they all hugged her and it was a very sweet moment if you want to actually see the video it's a really really cool video that we put together for that you can actually text 6 the word 6 S's a really, really cool video that we put together for that. You can actually text 6. The word 6. Yeah, S-I-X.

You set up the keyword. I did. Text 6 to 4487 and you'll get a link back at the video. Straight away. Just like that. You don't have to go searching for it. Just text S-I-X as well. So very, very cool.

We're going to catch up with. Dad's really excited about it. No, no. I was like, to our American audience, we really need to clarify what you have to text in. S-I-X. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. I was like, to our American audience, we really need to clarify what you have to text in. There's quite heavy rain going to be in the top of the North Island today. There's some risk of flooding because of the dry, hard February we've had weather-wise. So particularly around the Auckland, Northland and Bay of Plenty region today, pretty rough weather happening at some stage.

Four days left of summer. Yeah, awesome, and first of March. You're a big fan of the countdown to the end of summer. I also count down to daylight savings. It was six weeks yesterday. That's a long runway, six-week countdown. It will go in a flash. Are you going to give us daily updates this six weeks?

Maybe I'll give you weekly. Okay, well, we can handle a weekly one. Now, Sydney needs to go on the plane. Crazy story. So he used to live in America, and he owned a giant sort of reptile. It was called a gila. Okay. And I don't think they were legal to own.

Oh, okay. And generally when things are illegal to own, there's probably a good reason why the law has made it that way. And he was saying one day the thing bit him and wouldn't let him go. Have you Googled a gila? Yeah. I searched gila lizard, but they're actually called gila monster. Yeah.

Venomous lizard. And they're venomous. Yeah. He had to go to hospital. Jeez. Quite scary looking, aren't they? Oh, it's terrifying. It's got the venom of a rattlesnake why why would you have that well

because he said he went to like a reptile show they have like a showcase and you can buy all sorts over there yeah people own alligators and everything in america yeah i know well i'll tell you that story about that um lady that i was talking to whose flatmates had a big but like two big massive snakes in the apartment in New York. Pythons. Yeah. And she didn't realize until she woke up one night in the new place and there was a snake. And she's, oh yeah, because the snake likes warm bodies to snuggle up to.

And you're like, could have told me this before I moved into a flat. The snake had cuddled up to her. Yeah. No. And then they lost the snake. They lost the snake. And then they were like, uh-oh, uh-oh they lost the snake. They lost the snake. And then they were like, uh-oh,

uh-oh, lost the snake. And they searched everywhere, couldn't find it, around the whole apartment building. It ended up being inside her mattress, up the bottom, inside,

and it laid eggs. It laid eggs. And it had babies inside the mattress. This python. It was like, I'm moving out of that flat, eh? She was sleeping on top of that. I mean,

she stayed after the time it covered up to her. That would have been me. The flatmate said, just shut the door, you'll be fine. You know, the snakes get out. It was like, oh. Anyway. Well, it's because whenever you hear those news stories of like, oh, the man lost his arm.

His arm was ripped off by his pet mountain lion. Well, you're like, yeah, well, that was probably a foregone conclusion. Yeah. Wasn't it? So I imagine that snake might have had a bite at someone. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Exotic animal bites, that's what we're talking about. I remember we spoke to someone on The Hits.

He wrestled a shark. Shark bit him and then he ended up wrestling the shark in the water. Wow. He came out on top. That's what everyone believes they'll do if they're attacked by sharks. Oh, there's TikTok videos You're punching the nose You're punching the eye

My kids were telling me that And I'm like Good luck Just be like In the water When you're flapping around You're trying to work out Where the face

And when you punch Underwater It's so slow It's going to be A slight nudge On the nose For the show You're right

You'd be so disoriented No yeah You don't have the composure To go now What was the thing I saw on TikTok? Yeah, I know. Well, good luck. I'm going to give it a go. I guess you would in that situation.

So what have you been bitten by? Lions, vampires, anything? The bite of the high interest rates. We'll even take that at 6.30 on a Monday morning. But joining us on 0800 The Hits is Hana. Good morning. Good morning. We're talking about animal bites, the most exotic of all animal bites What can you bring to the party?

Well we were on holiday we were still back in South Africa on holiday at the beach one day and we're just strolling along the beach and I'm looking for shells and the next thing I put my foot down next to a seal that I did not see lying on the shore, and it bit me. Oh, it's a seal bite.

A seal bite. Because now they're more diseased than I am, the seals, aren't they? Did you have to get shots afterwards? Yeah, it was on a Sunday afternoon in a very small town. So we had to find a doctor on call to give me a tetanus shot. And he looked at me and he shook his head and he said, like, mate, I've been living in this town for 24 years. I've never even seen a seal here.

You're like, all right, just give me the shot. Where did it bite you? On my ankle. Was it just a hank and then let go or was it holding on no no luckily it was just bitten let go so nothing too major what's that what i've never seen seal teeth i don't know what they're like do you know what they're like to be honest no i don't know what they're like because I didn't stay to have a look. I did, however, tell my husband that before we head back, he has to take a photo of this thing because nobody's ever going to believe me.

No, that's very impressive. A seal, by the way. That is great, Hannah. Thank you so much. Have a great day. Thanks. Same to you. See you later. Thanks.

Bye. Now, I just had a text through here, Megan. There's a bit of a technique if a dog is biting you, apparently. Oh, I know this technique. Is it the finger in the butthole? Yeah, so a dog bites you. If a dog locks onto you, you... You poke its bottom.

And it lets go. Of course it's going to let go. It's going to go. Really? Are we here? It's like the shark scenario again, though. Like if you can compose yourself enough to get your arm around there.

Maybe it works for sharks too. Oh, geez. The hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Taylor Swift, of course, in Australia,

her last night in Aussie is the night in Sydney. And over the last couple of days, you would have seen it everywhere. But huge, a lot of celebrity, famous faces at their concerts everyone from Katy Perry, she was watching Taylor Swift, Taika Waititi

Rita Ora, Rebel Wilsons some of the Blink 182 guys were there as well You expect all of those but why was Katy Perry there? Like why is she in Australia? She's her mate isn't she? I know but like she can see her in America Yeah right, why is she actually in Australia? Why is she down under? Yeah that's I know, but like, she can see her in America. Yeah, right. Why is she actually in Australia? Why is she down under?

Yeah, that's actually a really good question. I don't know why, but Taylor Swift. Annual leave? Yeah. Two days, Taylor Swift went to the zoo, the Sydney Zoo, right? Yeah. Great. Back to back, same zoo, too.

Yeah. It was the same zoo. The Tauranga Zoo, wasn't it? No, it was the other zoo. No, it was the new one. Yeah, West Sydney. But she went twice twice once by herself and then once

she took back her boyfriend Travis Kelsey and she You've got to see the zoo She even talked about it on stage We really love

the Sydney Zoo and I don't think I think you guys don't understand how cool kangaroos are because you have so many they are so cool so strong

so bouncy They are very strong and bouncy well we love those kangaroos so Travis Kelsey of course footballer plays for the Chiefs

he went there he went to the concert he flew from his celebrations after winning the Superbowl went to Sydney and he's now she flew him right

private jet in her private jet to come to Australia and it was only a matter of hours that he was there, really. And then he's gone back to Vegas to carry on the party. I think it's pretty much two days in the air to go back to Vegas. Right.

I mean, this is their off-season, though. Jeez, that is the longest bender. He's had a half-time break from the bender, done a wholesome day at the zoo. Yeah. How long does this bender, like, I know it's the Super Bowl, but how long is this bender supposed to last? Okay, let's say the Warriors Win the NRL

What do you think Of your producer Taylor? Well they haven't won And my husband's had Weeks gone missing So I'd hate to see Back to the Super Bowl This is what I mean

It's like the off season For them is they're Cramming a lot of time That they can not get to do I hate it It's crap I'm not a fan of him anymore After this news

Not my husband Sorry Travis Kelsey. Right. Why? Because, like, dedicate more than 24 hours to him. I get a couple of days. And he bought a mate, too. Yeah, disgusting.

Yeah, this was our issue. She flew him over. Think of it essentially as a date. She flew him over for an extended date in another country, and he brings a mate. Yeah, because she's got rehearsals. She's working late. She's not rehearsing that show.

She knows it back to front. I imagine she would be at the, she'd have to go to the stadium for hours and hours to be gone all night. He's watching. Yeah, she works. And he's going to the show.

It's a three and a half hour, you want someone to hang out with. No, you don't. Otherwise you just have awkward conversations with all her people. Yeah. He wants to bring a friend.

He brought a mate. That's icky. That's weird. I don't reckon that's icky at all. And then he Yeah. He wants to bring a friend. He brought a mate. That's icky. That's weird. I don't reckon that's icky at all. And then he's gone straight back to Vegas to party. He's gone back. Viva!

Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva!

Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva!

Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva!

Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva!

Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva!

Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva! Viva! Oh, Travi. Yeah, no, I don't have a problem. I think it's fine because she's so busy. He worked so hard to get her and now I just don't get it. You think it's PR, Taylor. I do. I didn't until this whole thing now.

So it's all a publicity stunt from the NFL. Yeah, it all makes sense now. Taylor Swift, halftime Super Bowl next year. Yeah, because why else would you go to all that trouble to visit Taylor Swift, like, in Australia for, like, what, 24 hours? Yeah, usually a couple of days. You went to the zoo one day, then went to the concert the next day.

Exactly. All public appearances. You go to the zoo with her, mate. It's not like you put on, mate, camera at the zoo. That's a bit weird. I don't know. Just the boys at the zoo, mate. I don't know.

Third wheeling at the zoo. Yeah. We want the best for Taylor. It's been a long run, you know? But hey, you can't argue. You can't argue. It's been fantastic for the NFL. And Joe Biden, apparently. And Joe Biden? Yeah.

Have you guys heard this? Oh, that's right. Yes, because it's all a conspiracy. It's all a script. We have the hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. Over the weekend, we went to the Sanitarium Weebix Kiwi Kids Triathlon, which is an amazing, amazing event. There was one in Christchurch over the hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. Over the weekend, we went to the Sanitarium Wee Bix Kiwi Kids Triathlon, which is an amazing, amazing event. There was one in Christchurch over the weekend. Yeah, 2,000-plus jacked-up kids ready to run the triathlon.

A very wholesome event, isn't it? Really well run, too. Very well organised. Surprising. Well, I suppose you don't want to have kids running all over the show, do you? You need to keep them in line. A lot of kids to keep under control. So we were emceeing it.

You've done it before, Megan. I did it with Jono, yeah. You walk around and you have microphones. And one of the things is at any stage you can put the microphone on and then talk. Yeah, so it'll stop the music and you start talking and you push the button again and it'll kick the music off. We had a hard time with it, didn't we, Megan? It was a pretty simple action required. how did you guys screw that up well somehow we were pushing the button and the music just didn't go on well no so you keep pushing

the button I'd unmute then I would mute and she would unmute we weren't in sync yeah well we had a moment to where you know because you just have to talk and you'd go if there was a you know a lost lost property or something you'd have announced something or announced the next race so we had to do it one stage and we stopped to tell a Swift property or something, you'd have announced something or announced the next race. So we had to do it at one stage. And we stopped a Taylor Swift song that was blaring over the speakers. And we talked. And then afterwards, these kids come up, why would you stop Taylor Swift?

I was like, oh, geez. Because honestly, kids must be seven or eight years old. Rabbit. Just, yeah. Yeah, you should have been like, haven't you had enough Taylor Swift over the last four weeks? I was like, we need to get the announcement out. Then the other kid, well, why would you stop Taylor Swift?

Because he's a missing child. And they're like, we don't care, you wait till the end of Taylor Swift. I was like, gee, Swifties are very, very passionate, aren't they? So we really are. And then by the time we stopped talking, put it back on, Taylor, the song had finished. They were not happy. Tub thumping or something came on. You're like, kids don't care about Jumbo Wamba, mate.

Neither do I, to be honest. I asked the fatal question, who listens to our show in the morning? Oh, I did. And no one, no one. Crickets. So we're at the start. There was thousands of kids, over 2,000 kids. And all the parents and stuff there.

And at the start, the kids, everyone's so excited. Who's going to have a great day? Everyone's cheering. Who's doing the thing? Yeah. And then he's like, who's going to have a great day? Everyone's cheering. Who's doing the thing? Yeah. And then he's like, who listens to our show? Nothing.

Not even a token when you're standing right there. It was one. It was one. Woo! I know! It was one. Couldn't have scripted it any better,

to be honest. Oh my God. Well, we've got some work to do in Christchurch, guys. Definitely got some work to do in Christchurch. The Hits,

the Jono and Ben podcast. Oh, they were speaking of cash. She just Googled how much her cat's worth Megan Olivia Benson Her cat is worth 97 million dollars

Why? How? So she's been in music videos With her But she's done Sponsorship deals Oh right And been in commercials

For Diet Coke And a sneaker brand So she's like a cat influencer Yeah pretty much Influencer Yeah That is incredible 97 mil Geez you'd want the old Pet insurance on Olivia Benson Wouldn't you? So she's like a cat influencer, basically. Yeah, pretty much. Influencer. Yeah. That is incredible.

97 mil. Geez, you'd want the old pet insurance on Olivia Benson, wouldn't you? Definitely. Now, we weren't lucky enough to go across to see Taylor Swift. Many, many Kiwis did, of course. But we sent Kate and her daughter, Hazel, across. She was the winner of the competition. And they arrived back after midnight last night. And Kate joins us on the phone now.

Good morning. Hi, guys. How's it going? You're a schoolteacher. I imagine when you woke up this morning, the first thing you said to yourself was, I couldn't imagine doing anything more enjoyable than teaching children today. I love my kids and I love my school, but I am feeling just that little bit jaded. So I hope they're nice to me today.

I can imagine. So how was it? Now, how was Taylor Swift, you and your daughter? Was it the trip of a lifetime? Oh, my God. Just sensory overload. It was amazing. I cannot put it into words.

It was just mind-blowing. Yeah, everyone we talk to who's been to the show is like, I can't put it into words. And we're like, you have to put it into words. It's radio. We need words. It just seemed like an incredible vibe. Everyone that we talk to about it says like, you have to put it into words. It's radio. We need words. It just seemed like an incredible vibe. Everyone that we talked to about it says that it's just the most wholesome,

lovely atmosphere. Everyone's singing, friendship bracelets. It's just a beautiful experience. Absolutely all of that. We had a couple of the other Hits winners beside us from Tauranga, Juanita and Tyler, and we had people around us who were just gorgeous. It was exactly as you described it. There was not a bad vibe in the house.

So you saw the movie that she's put out, the concert movie. How did it compare actually being there? Yeah, no comparison. Very different watching it on a screen. Our seats were unbelievable. So we were right at the end of the T, sort of just off to the side where she played on her acoustic pieces on the piano. And it just felt like you could reach out and touch.

You could see the facial expressions. We didn't need to look at the big screen. It was a next level. Best moment? Favourite moment of a three and a half hour epic concert? Oh, I've got to say I actually loved the reputation era. I liked the sass that she brought. So for me, that was it.

And I think for Hazel, she would have said the surprise songs. New Year's Day, if she had made a, you know, she had a list in her mind of the songs that she would have loved to have heard and New Year's Day was one of those and that's what she played on the piano. Oh, amazing. Yeah. Now, you went dressed as, what era did you go dressed as, Kate? Even more.

Yeah, right. Now, Matt, our boss, went over as well and on his Instagram, he posted a photo. He was all in black, black t-shirt, black pants. And you said what, and maybe I was thinking he went as a roadie from maybe the reputation era. I think I commented and I was like, what are you wearingie From maybe the reputation era I think I commented I was like what are you wearing The only person to get dressed up

Blink 182 concert was next door Did they go to the right place Were they playing next door They weren't very far away On the same night I would say there's a lot of crossover Some of the actual bands of Blink 182 Went to the Taylor Swift,

so maybe they left their own gig. You know what? Halfway through. Should we all just all go next door, guys? Oh, that's incredible. I'm so glad you had a wonderful time with your daughter. You're going to remember that for the rest of your lives. Absolutely.

Can't thank you guys enough. Accommodation was amazing. Tickets were amazing. We just had the absolute weekend of a lifetime. Oh, that's incredible. Well, you're going to have a wonderful day

and I bet you're feeling 42 today, aren't you, Kate? I'm feeling more like 45. Yeah, well, if you could say you're feeling 42 because it'll tie nicely to our parody song we're about to play.

Yeah, we're about to play that. All right, Kate, there it is for you now because you're feeling 42. This is the hats. It feels like a quiet night to put some Netflix on. I fall asleep before the dom-dom. Used to do shots of Jaeger with mates at clubs in town town Now I've grown when I've been down

Oh, yeah Take Gaviscon and Voltaren in the morning I'm stoked when someone cancels plans Oh, yeah As soon as my butt hits the couch I start yawning It's bedtime I don't know about you And as my butt hits the couch I start yawning It's bedtime

I don't know about you but I'm feeling 42 Everything will be alright if my back stops aching soon I'm sitting down at concerts and wearing comfy shoes Everyone is so damn young I look awkward in the club Cause I'm 42 How's it going? I'm 42 I don't know about you

Really feeling 42 Always going to kids' birthdays Grey hairs more than a few On TripAdvisor I will complain in a review water plants and have great naps all cause i'm 42 the hits the jonah and ben podcast now megan you really go to the the far lengths for beauty regimen don? Well, this didn't seem that far-fetched initially. I was just one night feeling like pampering myself. So I put a face mask on. This is a sheet mask.

I actually don't know where I got it from, but I end up putting them in the fridge. So I have a little stack of face masks in the fridge because if they're cold, they feel nice. You could put them on at work like producer Taylor does. She wears the face mask too she ends up looking like a uh or you said a burns victim ben with the mask well that one's like pink so yeah it's very red and it's very large so it ends up quite wrinkly on your face um but this one yeah like i say i don't know where it came from um it was a miscellaneous face mask and i was like this might give me a rash i don't know

but i put it on, it smelled delightful And it felt really nice So randomly and I don't know why I decided to look at the ingredients on the back of it Read through Most of it was stuff I didn't recognise Until I got to halfway down It said snail secretion

Snail secretion? Well the gunk from a snail Literally the gunk from a snail. Literally the gunk from a snail. Like I'd let a snail crawl around on my face. Who's the legendary experimental pioneer who tried that out for the first time, rubbing a snail all over their face? But apparently it's a Korean beauty thing and it felt delightful. Well, the Koreans have gorgeous skin yeah flawless just good

just good the first thing i google is an article saying why why you should add snail slime to your skincare routine according to a dermatologist it's yeah so there you go it's it's the thing and it's smell i mean they put lots of perfume in it so it smelled delightful what are they milking the snails well then i was like how do you get the slime out of it? Do you make them crawl across the stuff? Don't they, when they crawl somewhere, they kind of leave a sort of snail trowel? Yeah, I'm hoping they're not just like squeezing the bejeeps out of them. Yeah, I mean, you could light your forefinger and your thumb and just kind of run it down the snail and kind of get the gunk off it.

But they are, my daughter, one night, 9.30, I'm putting her to bed. She's like, by the the way I need to find Seven snails For a school project tomorrow I'm like Well this would have been Wonderful information To know about

Eight hours ago So then I'm out there Traipsing around the garden Ten o'clock at night With my cell phone light on Trying to find bloody snails When you want to When you want to find them

You can't When you don't They're everywhere Do you have a veggie patch? No That's always a given They're always there So I imagine These poor people having to find the snails.

They've got a job on their hands. They might farm them. Do I Google how they get them or will I just be sad about it? Well, are you sad about wearing your cheap clothes, mate? Your fast fashion clothes? No. Just don't think too hard about it. Yeah, definitely don't Google it.

I've looked at the craziest beauty regimes ever. Snail slime is up there. It's the craziest. You can also have a bird poo facial. Oh, I don't know about that. I don't know about that. And a bull. Oh, really?

Yeah. Bulls. The stuff that they make other bulls with. Right. You can put that on your face as well. God, there's some heroes out there giving stuff a crack, aren't they? There's going to be. The Hits. The Jono and Ben Podcast. I'm worried about the Warriors season, mate, over here. You can put that on your face as well. God, there's some heroes out there giving stuff a crack, aren't they? The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.

Worried about the Warriors season, mate, over here. And we're very excited about the Warriors. They start in just a couple of weeks. And we have an amazing prize. The One New Zealand Warriors are back. We want to find the most dedicated fan. You can win two season passes and a signed Warriors jersey as well. So the whole season, you and a mate can go along to the Warriors.

Now, just as the show was starting today, I was like, we should have called this competition the Ultimate Warrior. Yeah. He was a wrestler, Producer Taylor. The Ultimate Warrior. Is it too late to change all that? No, it's not too late. Ultimate Warriors fan, you go to Facebook if you know someone that could be great for this.

Now, Producer Taylor, of course, you're married to Marcelo Montoya, plays for the Warriors. Good gamer of the weekend, good preseason game. It's a great game. He scored a try. He did. Very exciting times. What's it like watching when your husband's out there on the field?

It's torture. Really? For me. Yes, I get so nervous. I think I take it on for the both of us. What are you nervous about? Just like if he gets injured, if he plays well, doesn't tell anyone off. Yeah, right.

Things like that. So I just get blind these days. Every time someone tackles him, are you like, ah. Yes. And then if he stays down too long, I'm like, are you milking a penalty or are you actually injured? Yeah. You don't know these things.

I imagine you'd be quite mouthy. That's on the sideline. Very mouthy supporter. I used to be when he played at the Bulldogs, mate, I was so outspoken.

Would you ever go at people in the crowd? Yes, I've got into a fight my brother had to hold me back once and I was a member

of the Bulldogs fans too. Was he having a go at Marcelo and you turned around and said, enough of this, mate. I'm sure that's exactly

The fate of what you said Because there was Such a great season Last year at the Warriors Up the wars Everyone's in behind the Warriors You reckon there's a bit More pressure on the lads

This year They were sold out There was like 19,000 people At that trial At a trial They would never be And the ones in Aussie Wouldn't sell out right

Mate the first game I came here When Marcelo played for Warriors Mate It was an NRL game, first grade game. It was like 8,000 people there during the season. Yeah. No, it's a crazy fan base.

And they've been through the highs and the lows. And this year is going to be the high. Well, hopefully those heritage jerseys sold out within minutes, which is incredible. And so we want to reward. There'd be no team would have more jerseys than the Warriors. There's so many jerseys sold out within minutes, which is incredible. And so we want to reward. There'd be no team would have more jerseys than the Warriors. There's so many jerseys. So we're looking for the ultimate warrior, as you say, Jono,

the ultimate warrior. And Maddie reckons that could be her dad. Yeah, your dad's a big fan, Maddie. Yeah, probably the biggest, I reckon. Really? Because there are a lot of hardened Warriors fans. Why is he the biggest fan? Him and mum literally moved to Onehunga

so that they could be closer to Mountsmar. No. Hang on, that's commitment. How long's the season? So he goes on for a while. I know. And then he has, I think, maybe like three wardrobes full of Warriors gear.

Wow. He had a season pass since they came out, so he's massive there. Since 1995. Yeah, he's only missed, like, two home games. Since 95, missed two home games? Wow. Yeah, and one of them was because I was being born,

so that's why he's up. He was probably, I reckon he might have pitched it to your mum too. Do you reckon he could do it half-time in the changing sheets? Yeah, I'm sure maybe the TV was on in the birthing suite. That is incredible. Huge commitment. So you obviously go to the games with him? Yeah, he's got me into it.

So I'm a season pass holder as well. So me and him go together all the time. Oh, that's sweet. That's very sweet. Are the people around him, are they also season pass holders? They'd be like family. Yeah, so he goes with the same group of people for the last 10 years and they always get the same seats in the same area.

Oh, that's really cool. Do you pay attention to the game and the players? Sometimes, yeah. Most of the time it's just the kind of atmosphere that I like. Because I watch every game. I think I said this before and I've taken my daughter so many times and we ran into Sean Johnson the other day, my daughter and I were trading to him.

He's like, I'm sure he was so lovely with her. And then as we left my daughter, he was nice. Who's he? Who's he? Sean Johnson. All those games I've taken you to.

He's lovely. He's lovely. Matty, whatever you do, don't, don't yell out any defamatory comments towards Marcello Montoya because then you might be getting some abuse. What did you say?

Very vocal. Vocal. And there's support for her husband. Damn straight, Maddie. Maddie, you are in the draw. And everyone else wants to get in the draw to be the ultimate Warriors fan. We've got a signed jersey by all the players. And two season passes go to our Facebook page at the Hits Breakfast.

The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Wild weather around in the North Island. Heavy rain for the upper north today and the potential flooding because it's quite dry from February, but hopefully that doesn't happen. Now, had a great weekend in Christchurch, didn't we, over the weekend?

Went to the Wheatbix Kiwi Kids. Is the Wheatbix Triathlon with the kids? I couldn't figure out if it was the Wheatbix Kiwi Kids. Is the Weet-Bix Triathlon with the kids who are... I couldn't figure out if it was the Weet-Bix Kiwi Kids Triathlon or the Weet-Bix Kids Triathlon. It's the Sanitarium Weet-Bix Triathlon. Yeah. So I said it about 12 different ways. Kiwi Kids as well.

That's in there. It's a lot of words in there. I don't think they say Kiwi Kids anymore. No, because we were saying it all day yesterday. I looked up at the sign and I was like, oh, it's not called that now. No. Or they opened it up to other countries,

haven't they? I don't know why they dropped it. Maybe they figured it was too long. The Weebix United Nations. Children's triathlon. Anyway, a wonderful event. I'm sure the hashtag was Kiwi Kids NZ

or something that they kept saying all day. That's what confused me. I mean, you were just hosting it, but sure. It's designed for Kiwi Kids, it says on the website. You don't know the details.

Get away with it. You'd think the two people who had the microphones all day would know what the name of the event was. It really is. However you say it, it's a wonderful event. It really is. The satisfaction to see the kids, you know, because it's all about giving it a try, which the name suggests,

and to see the satisfaction of them getting across the line is so good. Yeah, and over 2,500 kids. Now, that is a hell of a way to get your Sunday morning started, isn't it? Now, Ben, what I would like to give to you is my gratitude, my sincere gratitude, because one thing that has been a consistent, you know, when people come up and talk to you about the show, one thing that consistently comes through is Ben Boyce, the architect, the writing genius, the Shakespearean radio commercial writer.

None of those things are true. The mastermind behind the Novus Show Us Your Crack jingle. When you find your vision lacking, Novus Whispers for your cracking. Show us your crack. Ah, Novus. Ah, Novus. That's him. That's him at the end.

Oh, my God. Do it again. Stop it. People love it. Did I not know that there was Ben? I definitely did. Snubbed at the Academy Awards for the best script. Wasn't it? You and Barbie snubbed.

You identified that both windscreens and bums have cracks. Genius. Alright mate. It was a different time in his career. It was a low form of a low connection to make but hey we made that connection and it's brilliant.

It's lasted decades. It has. Never thought it would. No and yesterday we were hit up by the wonderful John at the triathlon. John now you're a big fan of Ben Boyce's work in particular. Yes absolutely. One thing that has stuck in my mind is show us your crack. He loves the show us your crack jingle.

It's funny, show us your crack is still the test of time. Yeah, absolutely. So one thing that hasn't been cancelled is show us your crack. It should have been cancelled, but it isn't. That's great that I used it. Novus, windscreens, fill your crack in. Show us your crack. Novus.

Listen to the joy you've brought John's heart. You can hear his heart filled up with joy and happiness. So I want to thank you that I've been able to trade off the slipstream of your success there. You know how celebrities, when they walk down the streets, everyone's like, say your catchphrase. Say, say. Do people say to you, say, oh, Novus. No, no, no one does. No one does.

But now and again, you have conversations like that. Are they yelling out Show us your crack No No one knew you They'd be like what If you see Ben on the street Please say it Show us your crack

Correct The hits The Jono and Ben podcast Over the weekend In Christchurch We were at Electric Avenue Which was an amazing Amazing

Festival Four stages 35,000 people. It was really incredible. Yeah, a great day in Christchurch. Really was a well-run event. You start to worry about that stuff the older you get. You're like, this is a well-run event. Plenty of toilet facilities. Didn't seem like many queues for that amount

of people as well. Chemical Brothers, 660 with their LAP. It was really an amazing line-up and we got to do something special just before it all started with pia now pia we we found she's 660's biggest fan she has an instagram handle 660 forever she's uh does 660 artwork which has another instagram account she'd flown herself from tauranga to christchurch by herself to go and see the band she uh is a huge fan. So we found out this intel

and you thought we should surprise you, Ben. So Pia joins us now. Welcome, Pia. How are you? Hi, how are you? We're doing all right. Now, as Chotto said, you flew all the way to Christchurch by yourself

and we had told you that Connor from The Hits was going to meet you to film a little video, a message for Eli the drummer, whose last gig it was, right? Yes, exactly. Yeah, I only got told that I was doing a message for Eli the drummer, whose last gig it was, right? Yes, exactly. Yeah, I only got told that I was doing a video for Eli, who was leaving, and I thought it would be 10 minutes, but no. No, we took you for a bit long, because we surprised you during that video and said,

we've got something better for you. You can go along and see 660 perform their soundcheck. Just us, just the three of us got to sit down in front of them that that was pretty cool right yeah hell yeah um yeah it was really it was really cool to see i've never i've never had given the opportunity to do that before so that was really really good well do you know just as before we were surprising you where ben and me were hiding in a bush in the haggley park two grown men hiding in a bush, about to pounce on a young girl. On the ground, and they were like, oh, shoot.

On the surface, it doesn't read well. No. If you read that headline. But it was for a wholesome thing. And then you got to meet 660. Now, you've been a fan of 660 for many years. You've seen them five times, you're saying, but you've never actually met them.

No. Yeah, I first saw them in 2021 in Hamilton, and then Auckland in 2022, Dunedin last year, Auckland last year, and then Christchurch on Saturday. But I've never met them before. Well, we took you backstage to their dressing room, and I'll tell you what, we were so impressed. You pulled out this Obama-like speech.

You're an orator of a generation. Yeah, because those things can be a little bit awkward when you meet – And overwhelming. Overwhelming. You meet people that you admire and you're like, geez, what do I say? Do I come across like an idiot or whatever? But you just – you took the room by the palm of your hands.

It was amazing what you said. I think we have your speech right now. This is in front of you, Hero660. You made you hero 660 you made amazing speech you guys have changed my life um i've been through a pretty rough patch in the last few years um and your music has helped me a lot so um being here today to meet you guys is um really surreal for me so um thanks for the opportunity all the best eli with everything yeah i can't wait to see you guys later beautiful speech it was all the band came up and hugged you and uh lovely moments lovely you had no time to prepare that what how did that what when did you think about that it

just came from the heart i guess um it's been something that i've um been thinking about for a little while now about what would i say if I did get the chance to meet them, and I finally did get the chance, and I don't know where that came from. I just wanted to speak from the heart, I guess, and tell them how much it really does mean to me, because I felt like that was a really important thing for me to say. But, yeah, they're really nice to talk to, real humble. Yeah, just an amazing weekend.

Thank you, thank you so much. No, I'm glad you had a good time. I couldn't have gone to a better person. Actually, if anyone wants to see the video of us surprising you, bouncing on you from the bushes, just text 6SIX to 4487. Yeah, 6 to 4487, you can see the video. I couldn't have gone to anyone more7. Yeah. 6 to 4487. You can see the video.

Oh, Pia, I couldn't have gone to anyone more deserving than you. I'm glad it was such a special moment. It was special for us to be part of that. So it was really, really cool. So thank you. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Again, someone slides into your DMs, Megan, with a bit of dilemma. More so now.

Yeah. We're putting it out there and we're happy to help. But this one is a question about her husband again So The DM reads Always the bloody husbands eh Nightmares Yeah I don't really get husbands

Sliding into my DMs about wives Not as much No it'd probably be weird For a husband to come Yeah No Well it's fair enough It's fair enough

If I message Megan About our relationship darling See what she has to say She's going to talk about it On the radio husband to come yeah no well it's fair enough it's fair enough i'll message megan about our relationship darling see what she has to say she's gonna talk about it on the radio open to it though yeah open to it okay hi guys hoping i can submit this as a dear megan yes you can for as long as we've been married i've always known my husband's passcode for his iphone it's always been the same and he also knows mine no big deal well yesterday when i went to use his phone to order us some food i noticed his passcode had changed i asked him why and he simply replied saying he was sick of the kids getting into his phone and buying stuff on the app store so he changed his passcode. All above board. Yeah. When I asked him what his new passcode was,

instead of just telling me, he walked over, put it in himself without showing me and gave me the phone back. I said to him, do you not want me to know your passcode?

He got defensive straight away and said, it's not a big deal. Why do you need to know my passcode? I'm feeling slightly concerned about the way he reacted. Should I be worried

or is it normal not to know your partner's passcode? Are we red flagging it? Now Producer Taylor's just shaking her head next door. I feel like you and Taylor are always on the same page, Megan. It was this morning. Travis Kelsey brought a friend to Australia, and they didn't hang out the whole time because obviously he had time with Taylor. You're like, oh, that's a red flag.

Oh, a red flag. Bring him back. It's just a bit weird that she a red flag. Oh, a red flag. Bring it, mate. It's just a bit weird that she flew him over for like, you know, a two-day date in Sydney and he brought a mate. Because she's working. She's working. He needs someone to hang out with. She's doing one show, like at night. So do you need to know your husband or your partner's passcode, Taylor?

I don't think it's like a must you need to know, but I think it's us in this example because like if she knew before what's changed now why doesn't she know now maybe he's planning something very special oh please yeah like a secret yeah all the things i've looked up you know all on the notes and everything yeah and she's not gonna go perusing the note that's the thing he doesn't know that he's don't go into there because of the Google search It's all stuff about restaurants Or romantic candlelit things It's Like do you

Does everyone here Know their partner's passcode Yes No Only because I've forgotten it I think I did know hers But I just Old age

Old age Yeah She knows mine But she's Never on my phone She's never on your phone No No

Does Amanda know yours Yeah she'd know mine i just she often would change her one for time time and i'm like sometimes i know it sometimes i don't i don't really mind me either way i don't geek out i do like having some things that are my own though yeah you know like i am an open book at the same time it's nice to go well this is actually this is my thing yeah that's the pornography's my thing i'm not meaning what i have but you know what i mean it's like it's everything. No, I'm not meaning what I had. But you know what I mean? It's like, it's everything, especially being a parent and stuff like that,

it feels like everything in your life, it's nice to have something so you don't have to share. I think if you're in a partnership, you've got to know your partner's, like, number, their passcode. Because otherwise, like, you know, if you needed to get into it or if you're looking at photos. No, but the thing is, I'm not going to pick up my husband Andrew's phone and just go for a peruse.

He doesn't know that. Because I understand it's his personal thing. Well, yeah, but but then if he said, hey, this is my personal thing, you'll be like, what's in there?

Exactly. What's he hiding? Yeah. Have you got Marcello's passcode? Yes. He's not on social media or anything.

No, no. He hates social media. Why is he not on social media? Exactly. He's got like three wives out there who have been hidden from anything. No, no. He hates social media. Why is he not on social media? Exactly. He's got like three wives out there. He'll be getting from me. Oh, wait, under this. This is what we're chucking out there.

Should you have access to your partner's devices? No, should you know their passcode? Passcode. Which then gains you access. Doesn't necessarily mean that you pick it up and peruse, because that's not the thing. You've got access if you've got the passcode. Yeah, but you're not going to, it's not so you can go snooping necessarily.

It's just if she wants to order food. Or maybe she wants to airdrop pictures of their kids to your phone. Oh, yeah. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. Dear Megan, someone slid into the DMs again. Dear Megan, what's happening today? The gist is that her husband has changed his passcode.

She used to know it. He's changed it. Says the reason is because he doesn't want the kids going on it and buying things on the app store. Bloody kids. What do you want to give it to her? He won't give her the passcode. But he did type in the passcode himself and hand her the phone.

So it doesn't seem like he's too worried about her snooping around the phone. No, but he's like standing there, right? There's no trust for when he's not there. Not that she would. I get it. It does sound a bit murky. But at the same time, why do you need to know? Why can't you just have something that's yours?

It's still his. It's still his phone. Not if she's got axes. It's like I say, it's my car, but I'll give you the keys. Well, why wouldn't I have the keys if we're married? Don't drive it. Don't drive it. You're not going to drive it.

You've just got the keys. But you're not going to drive it. But you just got the keys. But you're not going to drive it. But you've got the keys. Mum and dad are fighting again. We're going to go to Zane. What do you think? Do you need to know your partner's passcode, Zane? Hi.

I think you should know your partner's passcode and passwords because everyone is talking about very common things like dropping pictures and stuff like that but I think no one is talking about knowing the partner and I think it's very important to know the partner if you go into his phone

you can actually know what he or she likes like if she's doing online shopping or looking for food or anything you can get their hobbies and interests if you look through the phone. My husband looked at my phone over Christmas to look on my wish list. Couldn't have done that if he didn't know my passcode. Hobbies and interests.

Maybe she wants to buy him a present. How would she know? Ben, we've both said we're the internet history clearers for each other if anything bad goes happen, aren't we? Yeah, exactly. Now, we're going to get Tash on. What do you reckon? Do you need to know the passcode, Tash?

Zane says for hobbies and interests. I like that. Not so much know it, but it's just weird how she did know it and then all of a sudden he's changed it and it's a problem. Plants a seed of doubt, does it? What's changed? I get that. I get that.

Yeah. Okay. No, it's a good point. Once you's changed? I get that. I get that. Yeah. Okay. No, it's a good point. Once you come back to that, Ben. I get that. It is. But, you know, I do get that. I reckon you nailed it with the car analogy.

You really stumped her. She was like, damn it, he got me good there. Don't lose it. You've had a good win, mate. Okay? She's trying to throw more things at me, but I'm not going to go back there. Let's get Amelia on. What do you reckon, Amelia?

Do you need to know the passcode of your partner? Yes, I think you should, because there's different reasons. Like, what if they wanted to organise a surprise birthday party like I did for my husband? Oh, there we go. How long do you wait for the surprise? Like, it gets to the end of the year

and there's nothing surprising happened? You still don't know the passcode? I'm just saying if that's the reason. But then again, if they're hiding their passcode, then it's got to be suspicious. However, if the other partner may not be that savvy, they could have a secure and secret folder that the other partner doesn't know about. Oh, secret folders. Now we're talking.

I'll tell you the app for that, actually. It's a great app. Oh, really? A secret folder. A secret folder app? Yeah. Really? And you're the for that actually. It's a great app. A secret folder app. You're the one wanting to know passcodes. It looks like something, it changes all the time. There's one that looks like a calculator, so no one

goes into the calculator. There we go. You can text me 457 if you want that. A lot of the audience just went, oh. Okay. That's a thing. We'll get Chelsea on. What do you think, mate?

Do you need to know the passcodes of your partners? Hi, no, I don't believe that you should know the passcode. I think it's courteous for your husband or partner to tell you the passcode, but I also believe that they should be entitled to their own personal stuff, and I think a relationship sometimes needs those boundaries. I think as a woman, it cures our insecurities and our anxieties having the passcode, but I don't think it's necessary. But why do you think she had it and now he's changed it and she doesn't?

Do you think that's a little bit? Not really. It could be a number of things. It could be it won't very well. What he said, you know, I've got kids myself and my kids are always going on my phone and downloading stuff and, you know, you get spam messages pop up. So it could well truly be that.

I know, but then he didn't give it to her. And then he's probably feeling a bit, like, backed into a corner that she's, like, kind of almost accusing him passively. Like, you know, what are you hiding? That's my opinion. Because I know if my husband would be, like, why don't you trust me? Like, why don't you trust me? I think it's all about trust. Yeah, you're right what are you hiding? That's my opinion. Because I know if my husband would be like, why don't you trust me? Like, why don't you trust me?

I think it's all about trust. Yeah, you're right. You're right. It's like having a car and saying you can have the keys, but you're not going to drive it. Or you can give me the passcode and trust that I'm not going to, like, sift through everything. You just want it for, like, transferring photos. So you're saying passcodes handed over. That's what you're saying.

I just think, yeah. I think in a relationship, everything is shared. Especially if you've got children, everything's kind of shared. So what's your advice to a divorce? Well, I do think it is a bit of a red flag, especially given that she used to know it. Right. And it doesn't give you the right to go through someone's phone,

but it does seem to me like he's hiding something. So you definitely need to have like a calm conversation. And if you are feeling insecure about it, have the conversation and see what he says. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Oh, mate, Jordan, how to dad joins us right now. Good morning. Good morning, lads. How are you?

Yeah, good. Do we lead with internet sensation? Yeah. Social media sensation? Yeah. People would have seen your videos videos and we've spoken about this before but you know you've done very very funny videos for many years on the internet build up a huge following but we all used to work together on various tv shows many many years ago you guys used to crack the whip on me i was just a poor little guy trying to make my way building random props and i've seen some stuff in those years and i think think that helped me get through a lot. You've got some dirt on us.

He could cancel either of us right now if he wanted to. Which is why I was able to get you guys on board with this latest project of ours, because I know you guys don't want me to dust off and share all those secrets I know. So we've got you on board for a bit of 24 hours fun. Yeah, now, so Jordan hit us up. He's an ambassador for Kids Can, a wonderful organisation

which looks after kids who go to school, many of them throughout the country, without lunch, warm clothes, just the basic necessities, Jordan. Yeah, exactly. It's a massive issue in New Zealand. I think slowly people are becoming more aware of it. But, yeah, one in six kids are living in hardship and they don't have those basics

so Kids Can are the legions that help these schools out Crazy statistic that one, isn't it? One in six kids in New Zealand you know, you think of, you know we've all got kids, going to class you think, you know one in six kids on average are living in poverty that's just wild in New Zealand

Yeah, it's nuts I mean, growing up I'm sure your parents might have done it, but my mum definitely was always saying, you've got to finish that. Did you know kids in Africa, they don't have and so my thing to my kids now is, you've got to finish that. You know those kids down the street, right, who are going to school without

lunch. They're not complaining about their dinner tonight. Eat your food. And it really hits home for them. My kids understand it more than so many adults around New Zealand. My kids understand that there's kids that go to their school who might not have something in their lunchbox today. Yeah, I mean, when you had the African kids, you're like, oh, they're in Africa.

They're ages away. But this is very close to home. And so you decided to team up with Kids Can. You've done it for a couple of years and actually do something about it. And you pitched an idea to Ben and me, and as we said, you know, all our skeletons. So we had no choice but to say charity.

Great, loved looking like charitable guys. And it's a 24-hour novelty challenge. Which is right up your guys' alley. You've got years of novelty 24-hour challenges under your belt. So, look, it's an ultimate 24-hour handball-a-thon. So you hold four square handballs. So, look, four square, it's me, I make up one of the squares, you two, right, we've rocked you in to fill up

the other squares, and then for our fourth, we're going to have a crap ton of celebrities. We're just waiting for them to reply to all our messages. What we need is we need dirt on all these celebrities. We do, don't we? Wouldn't you hate for this to get out? You know, that sort of thing. Yeah, I've been on some dodgy

back Reddit forums trying to uncover anything. M out? You know, that sort of thing. Yeah, I've been on some dodgy back Reddit forums trying to uncover anything. Maud, you know, Karl Urban. What have they done? I need to know. I need to know. I saw Lord Parking in a P5 park for longer than five minutes, that's for sure.

Okay, so we're going to do this for 24 hours. As you say, we're going to have a rotate of people joining us. The plan is to raise as much money as we can to help out as many kids as we can. So all those details of how you can support will be coming soon. Megan, you're going to be there for a bit, aren't you? You're going to be the fourth square for a bit, right? Yep. No, I'll definitely do it.

Yeah, Megan's in for a bit. Oh, mate, I've got dirt on you, Megan. I've got dirt on you. You've got to do it. I'm in. No, I know. Look, I know. It's a big ask, 24 hours.

And when I first pushed it to you guys, you're legends straight away, it was a massive yes. So, look, we've already gone out and you and me have done a bit of warm-ups, we did a little promo video, and I don't know about you guys, that took half an hour. I was dead the next day. We did half an hour of handball to film a promo video, and my back and my legs were seized up. So, you know, I think I've got myself in the deep end with you guys as well here. Yeah. Sore hair. You're going to have a sore hand too.

Good. A lot of bending down for us. Not quite a private. Anyway, we're going to do it. It's a small thing to do, really. 24 hours is a long time, but it's a small thing to do to help out a wonderful cause like Kids Can and help out many New Zealand kids. So you'll hear a lot more about it.

You'll see a lot more about it on social media. You'll hear a lot more about it on the radio over the next few weeks as we build up to it happening. But thank you very much for bringing this to us, Jordan. It's a really cool thing that you're doing. All good, guys. And I'm bloody excited for the awesome Hitsfano to get behind it. And, yeah, happening on April 4th.

First, guys, write in your calendar. You'll hear about it. I'm excited. Kids can handball us on. Oh, April 4th. Oh. Oh. Oh, is there a clash?

Is there? Yeah. No, no, no. Oh. Oh, is there a clash, is there? Yeah. No, no, no. Remember that? Remember that? Forget you guys do. No, no, we're in there. We're in there. We're in there.

The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Christchurch over the weekend went to Electric Ave, which was an amazing, amazing festival. I did think of a good name for a band. It would be Many More. You just call it M-A-N-Y-M-O-R-E. Oh, because you're always plus many more but even when you're

not performing you'd be on all the posters and many more but then people would be expecting to see many more that's not my fault that's a good part

not my fault they didn't book me and many more well it is your fault because we know why you've named the band many more so even if you're

not even like in the all-star lineup, it'd be like Electric Avenue, Chemical Brothers, 660 and Many More. The marketing would get confusing. I'm there. I'm the marketing man. Free marketing. And then, yes, Polar opposite ends of the entertainment spectrum.

Electric Ave on Saturday. And then the Wheatbix Triathlon Sunday morning. First thing Sunday morning, Ben. But you had an issue with the hotel room it was a lovely hotel that we work at organized for us but I went into my room and it was just like you went into the room and you were like okay there's a bed sometimes they'll have two double bed situations I'm like yeah cool in the room with the you know it's got tv there and I'm like two beds cool that's the bathroom and then I was like oh there's another door here is Where's this door? And then

I opened the door and there was a whole other double bed there. So two rooms, just for me. Wow. And three double beds. No couch, no seats of any kind. Just three double beds. I feel like there's a slip and admin there.

Did you use all the beds? No, I didn't know what bed to use. What one did you choose? I chose the one where I was like, well, I could shut the door to the separate room and not go in there. And then no one will have to clean it. So I was like, well, that's sensible rather than going into this whole other room. And then I was just used to one. I don't know.

I just used one and there was a whole other one. There was two that went begging. It really rattled him. He came out and said, I've got three beds in the room. That would really do producer Taylor's head in because remember you're supposed to, if you're not going to use the other beds,

you're supposed to cleanse the room of spirits. I didn't cleanse the spirits, Taylor. No. Put suitcases on the beds you aren't using so that the spirits don't sleep in them.

The spirits sleep in the unused beds, do they? Apparently, yeah. Do they? According to producer Taylor. You know what producer Taylor's like. Bloody hippie. Chimes and all sorts.

Come and defend yourself. There's a lot of extra beds too. You're what producer Taylor's like, mate. Bloody happy. The wet chimes and all sorts. Yeah, drink it. Come and defend yourself. There's a lot of extra beds too. You're sleeping with a few spirits. I only have one bag too, so what do I have for you? She's very earthy, Taylor. Very in touch with the spiritual world. Okay, so this is no word of a lie. So when you're in a hotel room, if there's two beds,

everybody knows to put their suitcase on the one they're not using because if you don't, you are practically inviting the spirits to sleep in that bed. Oh, good. Someone needed to sleep in the bed. I wasn't going to sleep in all three. I was by myself. Spirits are better than strangers.

In that situation, I should have put clothing all right from bed? Anything, just so they know hang on here mate you cannot stay here tonight can the spirits pick up the suitcase and move it off and get into bed depends if they're

a dark spirit I guess if they're an evil one I'm sure they could you've seen The Conjuring have you I've seen The Conjuring yeah

they can do some pretty crazy stuff
