The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Cheers to Dilma, making the world a better tea. Big weekend of sport, the Warriors had another one of their top three. They're doing so well at the moment. Netball sadly crashing out of the Netball World Cup into fourth place for the Silver Ferns. That's a bit gutting, but the All Blacks had a very close game. Saturday afternoon rugby in Dunedin, which is pretty cool. Yeah, pretty dangerous in my mind.

You know, we know what goes on on Castle Street in Dunedin, Ben Boyce. We've been there. Yeah, we have. We've been in the thick of it, in the trenches of Castle Street, to have an afternoon game. The problem is with that crowd, that mob, is they preload. So then their preloading will kick off at 12 or 11. We went to an event in Christchurch again with students.

They tried to cancel the preloading by starting the event at 9 a.m. So all they did was get up earlier, get up at 3 o'clock. They outsmarted everyone. But it was a big occasion. It was awesome to see, you know, a Saturday afternoon game. Jason Momoa, Aquaman, was there. And looking so cool. Black leather jacket, black pants.

He looks like he doesn't shower, but he would smell amazing. was there. And looking so cool. Black leather jacket, black pants. Yeah. He looks like he doesn't shower, but he would smell amazing. He would, yeah. You know, just his natural musk. It's like,

I don't need to shower. You're like, yeah, damn, you're doing things to me, Jason. Only you'd straddle me like one of his Harley Davidsons. Even Luke Holmes was there.

Now, he was watching, sitting up there in the stand as well. He apparently used to play rugby. Country music superstar Luke Holmes was there. He used to play rugby. Country music superstar Luke Combs there. He used to play rugby all through his college days. He plays here. He reckons he was here before.

One try away from making the US team. He was just one try away. Knocking on the door. Yeah, but obviously a big fan as well. So you had a great occasion, lots of eyes on the telly, lots of celebrities in the crowd as well. Big bangers too. Combsy, Mama. Yeah. I saw Luxon was there as well. Big bangers too. Combsie, Mama.

I saw Luxon was there as well. He was sitting directly behind Combsie. They're all there. The eyes of the world are on there. And it was a very close game. Very tense towards the end. The All Blacks came back. And then Quade Cooper, Aussie, he's, you know, he gets a bit of a tough time from the crowd as well. Well, he was getting

booed as he was going for the kick that would have locked things up. Off it goes, and it has the distance, and it's there. So he got the kick, and then we got a final kick, and then we won in the end, 23-20 as well. But I was just like watching. Here's your issue. Now, here we go.

I was like, I'm booing. Is it like, I mean, in the past, years ago, I would have probably been caught up in the booing. But now I'm like, it just feels like a bad look. You're trying to cancel booing? I just feel like booing to all those players. It just feels like. It's mob mentality, mate.

It feels bad. I don't know. Are we a boo? What are we meant to do if we're not booing? Be supportive? What are you suggesting? I feel like there's a difference from a like, ah, come on to a woo, you know, I don't know.

Are you okay with the booing? I love booing. I love getting swept up in a mob, you know me. Pitchforks and all sorts. Tall poppy choppers all get into it. What's the alternative though? That we just sit there in silence and go, ah, come on, feels better than boo.

But the thing is, it all evens out, doesn't it? When the All Blacks go and play over there, they get booed. It's all part of being a professional athlete. It builds character. Yeah, but the co-execution, lining up a kick, it's booed, you know? We're booing away. Actually, Producer Taylor, can you come in here as well? Producer Taylor, she's married to Marcelo Montoya from the Warriors.

Do players even care if we're booing and abusing them in the stands? I feel like during a game they're so focused on the game itself and making the tackle and whatever that they can't even hear

the crowd. Yeah, but in a moment like that, I'm sure you would have heard that. Yeah, I feel like it would feed motivation

if anything. You're using it to inspire you, are you? That's what makes them professional athletes, Ben. Now, Ben wants to open a poll. Shall we cancel booing? 4487. 4487, text poll.

Only text if the answer's yes. There's so many scams around these days. You find that it feels like every day you read another story about someone who sadly has lost a whole lot to a scammer i just don't trust anyone now this whole radio show could be a scam on me quite a long play yeah quite possibly quite one day you're gonna go hey what's the three digit pin on the back of your credit card i'm waiting for it yeah well that's the thing it's made me very very wary and there's even scams set up where people are trying to impersonate us you know and there's so many people miss this back going is this you that i've won this thing and we're like no it's not no it's

not a scam that is we are desperately trying to fleece money from you we're not but you didn't you didn't need and we just mentioned before the guy who worries about everything you didn't need another thing to worry about yeah and i got a message into last week from a courier company and i was like well I haven't I'm not waiting on a package like I haven't ordered anything but they're like your thing's going to be delivered click on click on this to change any details I'm like scam I'm not clicking on that I'm not what do you take me for yeah then I got another message later go we tried to deliver your courier package you weren't there so call this number and i'm like oh what are you and what

do i do and you know i was like should i call the number but then am i going to be there oh this idiot called the number i know you know that's playing in your head you don't want to click on a link you don't want to call it up you don't want to do anything because you want to ignore it you're so worried that people are going to go oh my god why would you call the number so i did i tentatively called the lady back and she's like yeah we did we had a courier it's from i tried to say from who and she's like i was from this thing i'm like oh you're sounding very convincing good on you lady and i suppose you want my address to deliver the courier to yeah so she she'd read a lot of your address and then she wanted a phone number and i'm like okay cool and every time she asked for a question you kind of done that mental checkpoint you're like

okay can i give you that can i give her that and then she got to um and then she went date of birth and i went hang on i said hang on i said i said i don't know the first time i said that yeah because you know me i'm not a confrontation i said i don't feel comfortable giving you that that's hardly confrontational yeah it's a nice way of approaching it for me uh yeah and then she went oh no fair enough uh yeah and she went fair enough no, fair enough. Yeah. And she went, fair enough. No, I think we've got all the details that we need. And then at that point I was like,

oh, this is a scam. Have I given everything for the scam or not? Are they recording my voice so AI can use it? That's the other thing as well. But yeah, but long story short,

it's not quite as exciting that the package should turn up and it was legit. All we need to know is what number your house is so we can drop a package off. No, no, no.

But you do feel like that, eh? You feel like you're not going to give them any details because you're worried you're going to get scammed. Producer Taylor, she got scammed, didn't she? Last year. Accidentally clicking on a link. Oh, yes. And they saw it.

How much money did they siphon from your account, Taylor? They took something like two, three grand. It was this year, actually. So after we had done all the stuff on air, too. How much money did they siphon from your account, Taylor? They took something like two, three grand. It was this year, actually. So after we had done all the stuff on air too. Oh, on the scam. On the how to not get scammed. Yeah, so it was a DH.

No, it was because I'm new to New Zealand, I still fall for the toll tax. Oh, that's right. Because in Oz, you go through a toll and it just takes it automatically out of an e-tag. But here you go through and then it says like you've got five business days to pay. I had been on a toll road and it was about the five-day mark and I hadn't paid. So I was like, click this link. It's $1.90.

I was like, oh, my God, how easy do they make this? Click the link, process the payment. And then I was like, perfect, don't have to think about that. And then went to buy something and my card had been blocked, rang up ASB, I'd been scammed. See, and that's even after we did an entire week, scam week we called it, didn't we? We did.

Yeah, so you've just got to watch out. Just don't trust anyone. It's a good way to approach life. Just don't trust anyone you come into contact with. It feels like we're getting that way, eh? And then legitimate things come through and you're like, didn't believe that one. You're sure you missed out on some packages you ordered?

My mum's still waiting for me to pick her up at the airport. But I'm refusing to get scammed. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Now, Producer Taylor, welcome back to the studio. Thank you. Seems like the last 35 minutes have been the roast of producer Taylor.

Now, apologies, but you've been misusing a product, and this is what we want to open up. Right idea, wrong product on 0800THEHITS. People accidentally use products for the wrong thing all the time, don't they? And what's been happening with you? Right, so obviously we work breakfast hours, so when we wake up it's still pitch black

and we're still delirious most of the time. So every morning last week at around 4 10 i'm starting to do 4 10 a.m i'm starting to do my hair and i have the same brand of dry shampoo and deodorant and they're both in the same section as well in our bathroom so every morning i've been pulling out the cupboard getting what i thought was my dry shampoo and spraying it all over my hair, brushing it through, then styling. And it got to about day four last Thursday. I should have just washed my hair. But day four where I was like, oh, God, my hair is so tacky and stiff.

Like I couldn't even get my hands through it. I didn't think anything of it until this morning. I went to go reach for the same product and took five seconds to actually read what I was putting my hair which was in fact deodorant she's been washing her hair with deodorant now we were saying it looks like your hair looked like trash smelt like all be talking about like an English meadow but I imagine it happens a lot of the time particularly in the bathroom mixing it so does that mean you've been shampooing your armpits? Yeah, pretty much, actually.

The armpit hair has never smelled. It looks more glowing and free-flowing. But have you misused products before? Yeah, but not to that extent. I had a tattoo that I was putting Bepanthen on, and then I'm confused. That early in the morning for the toothpaste. And that's a confronting thing. Yeah, Bepanthen.

And you only do that once. You only make that mistake once because instantly you know about it. But you're like, oh, this toothpaste is disgusting. Well, at that time of morning, like your body's functioning, but your brain's still lying on a pillow. Yeah. Right? You're certainly not there.

So 0800 the hits, 4487. We'd love to get your calls when you had the right idea, just the wrong product. I remember Annie Pryor, very stressed out, was working double jobs, Annie, for the Yellow Pages. And also when FPOS first came into New Zealand, she would wear a sash and stand at pack and save going, have you heard about this new technology, FPOS?

Oh, really? So she was very, very tired. And I remember she put our clothes in the dishwasher. Turned them on. That probably would work, though, wouldn't it? It kind of did. They come in a very, very, obviously no spin cycle. But yeah, I think people put car parts and things in dishwashers as well,

so it's not the worst thing in the world, but maybe you've got something better than that. 0800 The Hits. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. We're talking right idea, wrong product this morning. Daryl, good morning to you. Morning. Lovely to have you on. Right idea, wrong product this morning. Daryl, good morning to you. Morning. Lovely to have you on.

Right idea, wrong product. What was it, Daryl? Well, I was still half asleep one morning and I used a shaving foam in a tube. Yep. I grabbed a tube, spread it all over my face, and then I wondered why it was stinging. It was blooming toothpaste. It would have smelt lovely. You would have had minty fresh cheeks.

The burning lasted for ages, like two or three hours. Oh, really? Look at us having a laugh. Daryl's like, my face was in intense pain. Sorry to hear that, Daryl. So not recommended, Daryl? No, I wouldn't do it again, no.

Even nine out of ten dentists wouldn't recommend that one, would they? But it is, I find the same thing there. It's Voltaren Emugel. Very similar to a toothpaste that I have as well. And I once Emugeled my teeth as well. With very relaxed gums there for a while there, Daryl. Loose lips.

They sunk a lot of ships, those lips, didn't they? Hey, Daryl, we appreciate talking to you this morning. Cheers, bud. Rachel, it's good morning to you. How are you? Good, thank you. How are you? Oh, mate, couldn't be better.

Box of fluffies this morning. Right idea, wrong product. Where was it? What happened? I was super sleep deprived. Two children, one cutting four moulders. So I made myself a cup of tea in the morning. Probably should have been a coffee.

Went to put the milk away and popped it in the oven instead of the fridge. Oh, and the oven hopefully wasn't on at the time? Oh, thankfully no. It could have been a disaster. You're just flipped into autopilot, aren't you? I remember putting dirty washing in the fridge once, the same situation where you're just so tired. Yeah, super tired, just wasn't even functioning.

I did the cat biscuits in the washing machine too, which was another one when I was sleep deprived. Thinking you were putting in washing powder. Yeah, just opened it up in the laundry, you know, and went, oh, okay, that's not what I'm meant to do. But you're right, you kind of snap out of it and you're like, what just went on? Are you through those trenches yet, Rachel?

Yes. Now you only just put milk in the oven when you want to have a laugh. And fill a bit on radio for us. So thank you very much, you're going to have a great day, eh? No worries, you too. Cheers, mate. Aaron, you're on from New Plymouth, right idea, wrong product. Well, this actually wasn't me,

but we've got some friends over from Aussie at the moment, and they were telling us over the weekend how they've been using fire starters in the dishwasher and the dishwashing tablets in the fire because the package is very similar. And if you know these people, you wouldn't put it past them. They always get stuff mucked up, but the old fire starters weren't too good on the dishes.

And what were the dishwashing tablets like on the fire? Nah, they didn't start the fire at all. Oh, that is, they are very similar, the two circular sort of things. They're like urinal cakes. Oh, yeah. The least tastiest of all the cakes. We won't be making those in our 106 cakes this week, will we? The urinal cake.

The Hits with the Jono and Ben podcast. Thanks to Challenge. Putting the service back into service stations. Now, Ben, phones, most people have them, don't they? Yeah, they do these days. You should be hard-pressed to find someone who wouldn't have a phone. No, it just seems like a good

thing for security, you know, for a lot of people. Now, this isn't new technology, but your phone sort of predicts where you're going to go, okay? Based on the other trips that you make, right, in regular times. Mornings, you know, nine minutes to work sort of thing. But where this technology has started to unsettle me is yesterday. I hop in the car, and this paints a very bleak picture of my life.

Two minutes to the Bottle-O. Sunday afternoon. Now, the week before, it was like seven minutes to Bunnings. I was like, how does it know? Obviously, my frequent trips to have kicked off some sort of wild algorithm out of both those that one surprises me the most

because a guy just goes to Bottle O in the Bunnings every now and then the Bunnings store but isn't that wild you haven't even gone there it's telling you where you're thinking about going or where you're going it's predicting that's where you're thinking about going. Or where you're going. It's predicting that's where you're going to go.

I sometimes have that happen. I'm like, no, I'm not going to go there just to spite it. Yeah, prove you wrong. Just go somewhere. I don't need to go to this cafe or this shop, but I'm going to go there just to throw it out a little bit. But it is freaky. I feel like the next generation of this tech is going to be like,

oh, Jono, you're leading a bleak life mate. He'll be like, 14 minutes to your friend Scott's house. You haven't seen him in a while. Go and socialise. Get out. Get out. Do some stuff. But if it knows where you're going, what are you laughing at? It's the bottle.

Every day it's like, only four minutes to the bottle. Stop telling me. Alright phone, I'll listen always leading me to the bottle oh but yes this is frightening stuff isn't it yeah it is there's no way you're not tracked now that knows too much eh people always paranoid about the vaccine tracking us mate you carry it around with you, aren't you? Yeah, we've been tracked for years. The hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. See, Labour too

have promised a brand new fancy light rail and underground water tunnel to be built by 2098. Is it something like that, is it?

Yeah, and then the Greens are like, we're going to do free dental care for everybody. Everyone's promising all these things now, So you've been there

for six years, mate? It's almost like there's an election coming everybody. Everyone's promising all these things now, aren't they? So you've been there for six years, mate. It's almost like there's an election coming up. Everyone's promising all these things. The 100,000 houses that Labour did. Remember a few years ago, we're going to build 100,000 houses. They're all done. They're all done. Kept their promise.

We promised some things too. I think I promised some hell pizzas. I better keep the promise right now. I know I added the heads up. What did you arrive home to? Brendan, you're on from Auckland. What did you come home to, mate? G'day, mate.

How you going? Yeah, good. Thanks, buddy. Just quite funny how you're bringing up the old rabbit story before, so it made me laugh because, yeah, my rabbit, we've got a tunnel outside from him in his cage, and it's like an extendable one. So I came home to me and my daughter,

and what my daughter calls twerking. He's twerking the tunnel. Twerking the tunnel. So when you said before, like, when rabbits do actually go at it, they certainly do. It's quite exhausting to watch, actually. You're like, whoop, whoop. Jeez, he's got some stamina.

Oh, mate, it was classic. I mean, obviously, he's got his toy octopus inside that does the same thing. It's twerking. It's a little bit of twerking. It's hilarious. It's perfect. That's a great call for a Monday morning. We're going to hook you up with some old pizza.

We appreciate it. Made our day. Thanks, mate. Thank you. Raewyn, welcome. How are you? Hi. Lovely to have you on the show this morning. What did you arrive home to?

We got home about three weeks ago to a very large cat sitting on our kitchen bench. It opened our crockpot and was eating drumsticks, our dinner, out of the crockpot. So it opened it and then got into it. Yeah. I don't know. He must have pushed it with his paw and he'd pulled out the drumsticks and he was just sitting there eating one. A cat burglar is a thing, isn't it? Yeah. I remember my in-laws, their cat would

drag home giant legs of lamb and things like that from the neighbours. Yeah, I have no idea. Never seen this cat before. Never seen it since. Would you do kill it? What would you do? No. That's the only thing kill it? What would you do? No. That's the only thing, right? No, it's not the only thing.

Eye for an eye? It's not the only thing at all. The cat took a drumstick. Punishment bed. I'm going to hook you up with some hell pizza. Hopefully the cat doesn't grab that one off you, okay?

Appreciate your call. Good on you, Raewyn. Thank you. Let's get Gemma on quickly. What happened, mate? What did you arrive home to? An emu. An emu?

Wow, we've upgraded now. What was the emu doing? Well, I was away judging and my sister-in-law said, are you aware your husband bought an emu? I was like, pardon? So when I got home

from a ballet competition, there was a waltzing great big emu and a horse float in our paddock. Why did your husband buy an emu? Because he saw Untrademan and thought it would be a good idea. It feels like, far be it from me to be a marriage counsellor, but it feels like a let's have a conversation before we are yes to an emu.

That would have been nice. Especially if we only have cattle fences, not emu fences. And so have you still got the emu? No. What happened to the emu? I'm not sure if it's appropriate for this time. It was very nice to eat. You asked for it, Jono.

That's all on you, bro. No, it's always appropriate. The kids need to hear it, Gemma. It's the circle of life. It's all on you, man. All right, we're going to go get us some hell pizza as well because I promised that you have a great day. Now, we had a leaving function here on Friday,

a bit of a leaving lunch, morning tea situation. Jolene, lovely lady. Yeah, she's awesome. Backbone. She will be really missed here at the company. She's incredible. One of those people where like, who can sort this out? Jolene will sort it out.

You know, just like the fix it. Yeah. The fix it operator. So it was Jolene's leaving party. We were just recording an interview in here, but it was happening

outside the studio. So we could see through the glass, you know, people applauding and doing speeches and whatnot. And then what we assumed was

Jolene's departing gift from the company. In on a trolley, someone came pushing in. That's very unusual. A brand new toilet. A toilet. With a bow on it. It had a bow on it. It had a bow on it.

Yeah, like a bow. It was like, here's your present here's the toilet it was a lovely looking toilet and we're like oh is that the

now I assume there must be a back story like she must have gone what do you want we want to get you something useful and functional she's like actually

I'm in the market for a new toilet I did some digging afterwards because we were both very like surprised by like okay that's a very yeah apparently hers is broken recently and so it's you know a new toilet. I did some digging afterwards because we were both very surprised by it. Apparently hers is broken recently.

And so I imagine they're not cheap to get a toilet. So this is one that can be replaced. But I'm like, if you haven't got a broken toilet, this is a very unusual thing to be giving someone. Yeah, I've seen some leaving presents over my time. But a toilet is a, and it's probably an expense you don't want to spend money on. But you've got to do it.

There's no other option. So we left the Rock radio station. We got a keg of Heineken. Oh, one of those mini kegs. Mini kegs. You got a keg for every year you were there. Oh, the drive show. So I'd done three years on the drive show, and you'd done, what, 15 or something?

92. And so I got 15 kegs, and you got three kegs. How quickly did you polish yours? So you came back after the summer, and you're like, I finished 15 kegs and you got three kegs. How quickly did you polish yours? So you came back after the summer and you're like, oh, I finished those kegs. I'm like, what? What?

I was like, I've still got, I think, one left. You're like, oh man, I've done it. Oh jeez, those went fast. They magically disappeared over the years.

And I was like, 15. I know. No one was more disappointed in themselves than me, Ben. I was, yeah. I don't know what happened to them. Someone must have come along and taken half of those kicks. But anyway, I hope Jolene's going to enjoy the toilet.

The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. On Monday morning, Barbie movie, three weeks in cinemas, and it's just ticked over a billion dollars right now. The biggest movie ever for a solo female director. First to make a billion dollars Greta Gerwig uh so yeah huge and it's just no sign of stopping it's huge that's incredible now there's a new trend uh which is taking off involving Botox and Barbie Botox they're calling it yeah now we've got producer Taylor and to explain it to us because uh Ben you're trying

A lot of people on TikTok saying, oh, it's been great, it's been great. It's all for that snatched, defined Barbie look. So that's what Barbie, stereotypical Barbie looks like, right? Yes, yes.
