Episode Date: April 12, 2023

Jono's wife has a pet peeve What are yours?? Yeah Nah Yeah! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Now, gee, my wife, she, there's one thing that I'm doing that constantly doing and I can't stop doing it. And I know it's not one of her favourite things that I do. When she's on her phone watching fun videos on Instagram or Facebook or thing, you know, fun memes or cute cats or fun people cooking. You know, people like to cook stuff as well and they make everything look delicious, don't they? Yeah, and easy yeah or even like someone giving an inspirational speech to piano music yeah i can't if i'm in the vicinity help myself from walking over and looking over her shoulder oh so you'll walk across to it i'll walk it like if i hear it if it captures my interest it captures my imagination i have to come and look and i'll look over her shoulder and she doesn't like me looking over

the shoulder i get it it's one of those things that if you're doing it it's no problem at all like when i've got the recorder in my hand the instrument yeah it's fun you know but if it's being done to you i imagine it's a frustrating. So that's a little part of pet peeve that you do. Yeah, but I can't, like, what can I do? Oh, not to see the fun videos. I need to hear the inspirational speeches with the piano music. Do I ignore that? Well, you might have to share upsets or just say, hey, can you share that with me?

That sounded funny. I'd like to watch that in my own, I don't know, in my own time. I feel like I'm counselling you right now, counselling your relationship. The other thing is sometimes you do, and we're all guilty of this, sometimes you know your partner's pet peeve or their hot button, and you can't help but push it. Because you know, watch this.

Just add a little bit of gasoline to this. Like the old, if you're having a colourful conversation, alright, well let's just calm down. Yeah, that hot button. Really gets things going. Do you know, pet peeve in our relationship, or one of the pet peeves, let's just calm down yeah that hot button really gets things going you know pet peeve in our relationship or one of the pet peeves let's be honest it's um you know it's my snoring now i don't know when i started snoring how often i snore if it's every night whatever yeah because one of those things you don't know you don't know you when this happened in my sleeping

career that i started snoring but obviously I understand if you're sleeping next to someone who snores, that's a pet peeve. That's frustrating, yeah. But the pet peeve becomes my pet peeve when Amanda wakes me up. And then it's like, hey, wake up. What? You're snoring. And I'm like, well, I'm sorry.

Firstly, I'm sorry. I don't mean to snore. And secondly, now I'm awake. And then I get like, well, why did you wake me up? And that becomes my pet peeve. Now you're both awake. We're both awake. I was having a great sleep.

In fact, the whole house heard me have a great sleep. That's how good my sleep was. And that really starts to annoy me. And it's one of those things. It's like, well, I can't. It's not like I can stop doing it. I don't know. I'm not in control of my nasal passages.

I don't know why tonight I'm snoring and I'm not. Oh, dear. So those things like that. Well, maybe you need to let, maybe Amanda's trying to create a situation where you're awake and she can start before you. Try and get to sleep. Kick off before you. No, no.

I think that's a situation, but then it becomes my pet peeve because I'm awake. So what we want to know, I'll know 100 of the hits, four, four, eight, seven. What's your partner's pet peeve? Yeah. The PPPs.

Come at us. PPPs. Sounds like an acronym for something rude, but I don't think it is. Or some sort of protective gear that stops you from getting COVID. Love to hear your pet peeves next. The Hits. The Jono and Ben podcast.

Talking about pet peeves, your partner's pet peeves, PPPs. We got into here this morning. Some great texts coming through, Ben. You were mentioning your snoring, how it really is a bone of contention in your sleeping relationship. Which I understand. You get woken up saying, hey, you're snoring, how it really is a bone of contention in your sleeping relationship. Which I understand. You get woken up saying, hey, you're snoring. Sophia has texted in saying, my partner makes popping sounds when he goes to sleep.

Like sort of a pop, pop, pop. Oh, that's, yeah. She's had to buy earplugs. I don't know how you end up popping when you're sleeping. But who knows? I might pop when I sleep. Like you say, you don't know what you end up popping when you're sleeping but who knows I might pop when I sleep like you say you don't know what you're doing when you're sleeping another big one too for me

I just remember another one is me leaving tooth floss everywhere because Annie my mum came from Christchurch and was like don't flush floss down the toilet because it can get caught on the drains yeah well it's not going to, yeah, yeah.

So you can put it in the bin. Put it in the bin. But then what I do is I floss and then I forget that I've flossed. So it's lying all over the house. Floss everywhere. We're going to go to the phones this morning. Oh, we've got the popping sleep lady on the phone, Christy. What is the noise?

What is the popping noise? I can't. You wouldn't be able to hear it if I did it right now, but it kind of reminds me of a slight popping that Donkey does on Shrek. And it's every night. Well, maybe when I'm not having a good sleep and I hear him or I stay up later, it's like, oh, crap, I know I've got to look forward to the popping because I'm not asleep first.

Yeah, right, so you've got earplugs jammed in. No, no, I do manage to get there eventually, but I'm sure he also has a pet peeve for me where I repeat stories all the time. Don't forget that I've told him. That's our radio show, mate. Repeating stories, yeah.

You're going to have a great day, Christy. Appreciate it. Sophia, you're on. Pet peeve with your partner. What is it? Hi. Well, he eats his burgers upside down every single time. There's a lot to unpack there.

Hang on. So he's eating his boogers, you say? Burgers. Burgers, yes. Upside down. I was like, wow. Yeah, every time he would have a burger, since I've known him, which is over 15 years now, he eats his burgers upside down.

Well, Ben thought he was hanging boogers on a monkey bar situation. Hanging like a bat. Yeah. Burgers upside down. Why? Does he know it affects you? Well, I asked him the other day, and he said that is how he grabs them. That's sort of the way for him to go and grab them.

But to me, it's actually a bit tricky because you have to sort of hold them upside down, turn them, if you know what I mean. I know what you're saying. Yeah, so I don't know. Initially, it was quite odd, but I'm used to it after 15 years. But they still, you know, crack me up every time. The equilibrium is way off when you've got a burger upside down.

All the ingredients are in the wrong order. I hear what you're saying, Sophia. You're going to have a great day. Tess, welcome. I just brutally cut Sophia off. Tess, you're on. Good morning. You're your partner, Pet Peeve, what have you got? he has

this big manky wallet card holder thing that he can't even fit in his pocket and I've got to carry when we go out and it's covered in duct tape to hold it together it's closed with an old hair tie,

and it is just the most embarrassing thing, and no matter how many wallets he gets bought, he just refuses to change. So he's got gaffer tape all over his wallet, a hair tie holding it together. Wow. When you started saying he's got this big man key, I was like, here we go.

You're really throwing him in it. I'm glad you ended with wallet. Well, that's great, Tess. Maybe another wallet for Christmas. We'll see if 2023 he's ready to make a change. He's got like five of them brand new ones in his drawer that the girls buy him and they just won't change. Ben's got a Velcro one.

I do. Have you still got that handy? Do you want to hear Ben's Velcro wallet? Yeah, alright. Oh my god, that's annoying. There it is there. There you go. It just sounds like you eat noodles for dinner every night. It does sound like that. It lives with a guy called Scrunter or something. You've got on your test.

Go and have a great day in the Horse Bay. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Thank you for hanging out with us. As I said before, it's a short week, of course, with Easter this Friday. Hey, yesterday, I'm not allowed to bang on much about cricket, which is fair enough. I know. I know it's not for everyone.

For a show which has clearly stated don't bang on about cricket, you bang on about cricket a lot. This was a charity. You get cricket in at least once a show. This was a charity thing. Don't try and cloud it in charity. Movember, great charity, do a lot of great stuff for men's health. They had a bit of a charity match between a Movember 11

and the ACC, the Alternate Cometry Collective at Eden Park on the main pitch at Eden Park yesterday. So I got roped in to play along, which was great to come along. This would have been a childhood dream.

To play on Eden Park, but the whole time I was like, we shouldn't be playing on Eden Park, guys. You know, it just feels like that's for the proper players. Yeah, but that's how they sold Eden Park, yeah like you're selling this to me now it's under charity we've got to talk about it they did the same thing it was cool it was really cool great

bunch of lads on both teams a few ex you know players Kieran Reid all black captain Aaron Major all black legend James Marshall play for the backpacks there you know all playing in the team as well I had to spend the whole time just time just making sure that Kieran Reid wasn't getting too overawed by the situation, you know, with no one in the crowd. Can I get a charity badge? This is like a bloody Blues game out here, mate. Yeah, but it was cool. I went along and played.

I mean, I haven't played, to be honest, I haven't played cricket. Like, I love my cricket, but 15 years is probably the last time. I know, just before you left yesterday, you said you were quite nervous. I was actually quite nervous. Went out there to bat, and they had a good rule that you couldn't get out on your first ball, so you could have a go. Oh, I love that rule. It was good.

And I had a four, and I was like, oh, a four at Ian Park. This is great. On your first ball? Yeah, yeah. I was like, cool. And then a couple of balls later, I had another four, and I got a few other runs. I was like, then I got into my head, and I was like, oh, maybe this is it. Maybe these things are going great.

Maybe this is my day. And then I got a clean bowl. So, you know, but it was good. So you ended up, what, 12? Yeah, something like that,, maybe this is it. Maybe these things are going great. Maybe this is my day. And then I got clean bowled. So, you know, but it was good. So you ended up, what, 12? Something like that, yeah. That's good. And then I came back. But then the problem was our team got through their wickets so quickly,

they were like, it was at risk of the game being all over and the lights not even coming on. So they were like, you might as well just bat out your 20 over. So everyone kind of got to go back in again. So I came back in with a couple of balls to go. Everyone was like, just have a bash, mate. So I was so I was like right I'm gonna try and hit a six on Eden Park live out a childhood fantasy got a hold of one I was like this is it this is it boys you're gonna do it and then this guy jumped up and caught it right on the bench would have gone for six but

he and I was like oh charity mate come on yeah So we ended up with the ACC team that we're playing for. Not that it mattered, but we ended up winning. But very contentious because we lost 15 wickets in our 20 overs, which you're only meant to have 10. And they lost six wickets. Well, it's for charity. And they didn't get as many runs as well. I had a bowl as well, so it was cool.

Got a wicket. So I was pleased. You know, it was fun. Did you rub the ball in your crotch? A little bit, yeah. Rubbed the ball. You know, a few high fives you bat me a bumper you know all those things you do because you can pat a bottom on the cricket field can't you so it's not in the office apparently but around the cricket field it's uh socially acceptable yeah but oh you know but very inconsistent you know as probably i should have expected for not playing for 15 years or so but it was cool it was great

you know a great bunch of guys and it was was really fun thing to be part of the whole time. I was like, we shouldn't be out here. Yeah. Um, and how much money did you raise? Oh,

well, it was the end of it was, it was the end. It was the wrapping up of, but you know, my family, how great it is. Happens in November. This was the wrapping up of you know November how great it is happens in November this was at the end

of it all this is all balancing the box we'll dig dive into those afterwards actually we'll dig dive into those as well

at the moment I was more concerned about the stats on the field but you're right keep me in the loop with that no worries

I'll do that as well the hits the Jono and Ben podcast. A little fun thing we like to do once a week is play an iconic moment from like a movie, a TV show and a song. And the two of us, and you can as well, 4487 on the text,

need to work out exactly what the year all these things happened in. Yeah, it's year, nah, year with producer Joel. Now, we don't deep dive into the history books, just to be clear. We're not going back into bloody 1943, Hitler got with producer Joel. Now, we don't deep dive into the history books, just to be clear. We're not going back into bloody 1943, Hitler got married this year. It's a light splash into the history books. And it's a reminder that all the years blend into one.

They do. I'm no good at this game. I'm like, I'm good about that, but you're kind of, yeah. Yeah. Okay, what have we got today, producer Joel? Starting things off, a very iconic movie. Wilson! Wilson! Wilson! day producer joel starting things off uh a very iconic movie wilson the volleyball tom hanks cast away got marooned on that island didn't he i just can't whenever i hear his voice i cannot

not hear woody from toy story yeah without seeing him as well we actually have a wilson volleyball in the studio For some random reason don't we With the blood handprint on it Iconic movie Castaway, Tom Hanks That was a game changer that film It was really really good Amazing acting performance

Because he spends a lot of the movie just talking to a volleyball By himself on an island Which is incredible And all genius too from Tom Hanks He's like well I'm getting all the fee here. Like the volleyball's not getting paid. And he spent a lot of time in a loincloth, didn't he? Yes, true.

But you put me in a loincloth before, it's depressing. Okay, so I'm not going to lock in a year just yet. Keep going, Producer Joel. This song was released in that year as well. Backstreet Boys So you're like You're going You're going 90s 2000s

Yeah, she does. She was at the school down the road. Yeah. Oh, don't they grow up quickly? They do. Now she's playing Coachella in America, which is pretty incredible.

She hasn't called us in a while. We don't know how she's doing. She's looking after herself. No. Her two dads. Well, that was a good job. It was also Y2K that year as well at the turn of the new year,

wasn't it? I knew a guy who built a bunker. Yeah. And he put his family in a bloody bunker. Adam. And I don't know if he's come out of the bunker. He's probably like, oh, we can't come out, guys. We've got to stay there.

It's a bit embarrassing. I've made a terrible mistake. Maybe he's hiding it from his family. He's like, oh, it's a disaster zone out there, mate.
