The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Cheers to Dilma, making the world a better tea. It's like the election's just been vomited all over us at the moment, isn't it? Everything you see is just, oh, here's Chris Hipkins having a pie, here's Chris Hipkins having a sandwich. Yeah. A lot of them eating, a lot of coverage of them eating. We spoke to him about it yesterday.

He's like, I don't know what the fascination is with the cameras and me eating. Yeah, because I think the cameras just follow him all the time, and the other big politicians. And then he's like, oh, I've got to eat. But you'd think they would go, oh, well, he's eating lunch. We'll leave him alone. But that's the stuff they put on the news. What he had yesterday was a steak, bacon and cheese pie, which I

thought was... And no one ever looks flattering when you're... It's never a flattering shot when you're eating, is it? I mean, John Key had the hot dog incident, you know, but I mean, he really went for that hot dog too, didn't he? He did. That could not have got any deeper into his mouth, that hot dog. And the way he's... And he came in from a height with it too.

It was probably just a real, like, a short snapshot in time. Like, just like a millisecond. But, jeez,ez I mean you google that he wrapped his mouth around that whole hot dog we'll put it on our story have you seen that photo producer Taylor

producer Taylor can we put it on our story Instagram story if anyone doesn't know what we're talking about go to the hits breakfast on Instagram and that's yeah

probably is just a millisecond we could probably do a photo collage of politicians eating yeah Grant Robertson the other day

was having a beer I thought it was good was having a beer. I thought it was good, just having a beer, just with a handle. What I am enjoying too about the election is, to be honest, the same as you,

I'm fatigued by it already. I think I was fatigued by it before it even began. But the election hoardings that are all around the place, there are some, I tell you what, we've really ramped it up

in terms of Defacing them This election Yeah Haven't we We're kind of treating them Like a Taxpayer funded Magna doodle

Like a lot of the stuff That's on the billboards I'm like Well you could probably Email someone about that That's true But there's a fine If you deface them

Oh really Yeah Well I guess that makes sense Technically they're ours though We've paid for them We can write Whatever we want on them But haven't they all been endorsed by such and such Don't they have someone's name

By Pete Dalton of Sandringham Who are those people I don't know Someone's got to put their name onto something right When we ran for politics We had to have One of the people that we work with Had to endorse it

Had to have their name underneath. It was part of the legal thing. Oh, so they're no one special. They're just a person. To do with your party. They had to basically vouch it. Doors. This person. So when we did run for the Bill and Ben party years ago, I think our director was, we signed him up to

be the person they had to have his name. Put your name and address up there, mate. I've seen what looked like a space rocket on Brian Tarmacki's face. Oh, right. I don't know what the symbol is. Maybe he's into space travel or something like that. Yeah, gotcha.

Maybe, you're right. Yeah, so then it looked like a space rocket and there was two blooms of smoke underneath blowing the rocket up into his face. It's kind of like modern day hieroglyphics, isn't it? Like in the future, a hundred years to come, they're going to pull out these billboards and go, what do these symbols mean?

These are beautiful. I ran into someone at the supermarket last night and sometimes you have awkward conversations at the supermarket, but this ended up being a particularly awkward conversation. It didn't start off that way. I know this guy pretty well from years ago. We used to work together, so it was good to bump in.

It's good to see you. I hate running into people at the supermarket, don't you? Well, you do. Sometimes you're like, I'm just coming in to get a few things, and then you see someone you haven't seen like this person. I hadn't seen him in a while, and so it was like I had to stop. It was one of those. It wasn't just a, hi, good to see you see you it was a stop situation and we had a chat and we also know his

his wife and just recently we've been doing some work with her i won't say her name i'll just call her mary but recently we were chatting about stuff why are we hiding her name well we just thought because cause he was like oh you've been doing some work with mary i'm like yeah oh she's great you know i guess his wife we're talking about she's awesome great to work with Mary. I'm like, yeah. Oh, she's great. You know, I guess his wife, we're talking about, she's awesome. Great to work with her. She was amazing, saying wonderful things. And he just went,

oh yeah, at the end of it. Okay. But you just big up his wife. And I was like, oh. Yeah. And then I thought, well, maybe I haven't bigged up his wife enough.

I was like, yeah, we just love to work with her. Such awesome. Just going into all these details, thinking that would be more. And he was like, yeah, yeah. Not giving you anything. Not giving me anything.

I was strange. And then he went, you know, we're broken up. She left me. And I had really got into all this. She's flourishing, mate. You just heard what I've said about her in the last three minutes?

Oh, I've got into the things of why she's amazing. She's incredible. Like really giving her the big up. I was like well he led me into that conversation but she left him yeah and he was yeah and i was like oh that's a kick in the guts yeah you never want to hear that your ex is doing better than than you are and i would say some wonderful things about how amazing this woman is and i like, yeah. So we left the conversation not long after that.

Both a little rattled. Did you ask how he was going? Well, I saw it at the start. He's like, not good, mate. Just me and the cat. Just like, yeah. Anyway, I'll go get the things I need to get the supermarket. Good catching up.

We all kind of left. It's hard because, you know, what do you do? Because it was an innocent mistake for me yeah you don't know you don't know when people break up and you don't really

front foot that too go hey good to see you how's things going you normally just say good rather than hey yeah well people don't take out a billboard campaign when they

divorce or break up do they maybe they should then we'd all know maybe they should you would have known stumbled across some audio that I found

or video sorry on Instagram that I played to you. And the cynical people, we are Ben Boyce, we're like, this is a prank. This has got to be a prank. That's what we thought at first, but now it has made international news. There's multiple articles I've been reading this morning on this. We'll have a listen to the acclaim.

This is a lovely couple from America. I see nothing wrong with breastfeeding my husband i actually love the bonds it helps me out he finishes off the job a lot of people ask why i do it why we do it there's various reasons but in all actuality there really is nothing wrong with it i always like to make jokes that you know you can drink other milks out there because you're told to, but when it's milk that is from a person you know, it's a little weird or considered weird. But it is because we tend to lash out on things we don't understand. Like she said, a lot of people lash out on things they don't know

or they don't know about. This is just a natural thing. It's a natural liquid, milk, coming from a human, and it's not hurting anybody. It's from a human and it's not hurting anybody it's not hurting myself it's not hurting her so yeah it's but the more they said let's show them the more i'm like 20 2017 is when they started that's how long it's been doing it as a couple they've got three kids and first it was done he did it to help his wife out when she was going through some pain all the blockages yeah blockages as well. And then after that, they continued up. And they basically, he hasn't had a cold in years.

His skin's apparently looking better. They're like, we're not ashamed about this. They're like, hey, why should we be ashamed about it? It brings us closer together. We're into it. We're not hurting anyone, as they said before. That's the thing. My only issue with this is you didn't have to go public.

You didn't have to bring this upon yourselves. Good on them for doing it, but it felt like he had the look of a man of like, I'm not quite sure about this. Oh, no, but then you watch these clips online of them doing it. There's a TV show. They went on a TV show as well. One clip I was like, maybe this is a hostage video situation or something but no it's

like there yeah the more articles i read about it i'm like oh well good on them i tell you what brings you closer together as a couple go to a pottery class yeah but hey each like are they are you gonna say each i am gonna say each day and i love saying it they're not hurting anyone yeah they're doing it together as a couple. Who are we to judge on these other people as well? Yeah, putting themselves out there means that everyone will judge. But I'm like, oh, well, it's their life. Yeah.

Although when you think about milk just in general across the board, the other option is he could be wrapping his lips around a cow udder. Yeah, true. Then we'd be judging, wouldn't we? That's what they say. They're like, oh, you're drinking cow's milk. It's a fair point. Yeah. So we'd be judging, wouldn't we? And that's what they say. They're like, well, you're drinking cow's milk. You know, so. It's a fair point.

Yeah. So we're all going home. Well, I think there's some. Yeah, and I hope. There's some stuff that needs to happen. Yeah, yeah. I think it's quite like, yeah. So the more he does it, the more it's going to produce, obviously.

Yeah. Well, good. Their kids are kind of growing up. They've had three kids now. They've stopped. Yeah, the kids have. Yeah, they have. Yeah, the kids have passed that.

So now it's just the thing that they do together and it's made news. Bit of bitty. Yeah. Okay, so 0800 to the hits. What? Hey, I'm like,

oh, good on them, good on them. That's right. Each to their own. You're dead right. 0800 to the hits. What about your relationship is newsworthy? Would you be able to get an article, a hold on to the hats. What about your relationship is newsworthy?

Would you be able to get an article, a quirky article on the Herald? Yeah, all around the world. The Mirror, the New York Post, the Daily Mail, the Sun. It's everywhere, this thing. It's made their marriage stronger. The husband's like, it's everywhere? I thought everybody was, what? You sent it to the news? It's everywhere. Everywhere? Okay, it's everywhere. I thought that was just What? You sent it You sent it to the news?

It's everywhere Everywhere? Okay, it's everywhere I thought that was just For our personal collection Okay, yeah, right We want to know Why your relationship

Is newsworthy Why could it make news Like the couple That we just learned about In America Who are not ashamed About the fact that They're breastfeeding

No, we've just seen Video evidence too That's the thing Yeah That's the thing It's an actual thing The more I look into it It's like, yeah, it's the thing C Yeah. That's the thing. It's an actual thing. The more I look into it, it's like, yeah, it's a thing.

Claims he's never had a cold. Skin looks great and their marriage is healthier and better. There we go. Okay. So hopefully that's inspired a few people out there today. But why could your relationship make news? Why is it newsworthy? Hayley, welcome.

Thanks. How you doing? Yeah, we're doing really well. Why could your relationship be a news story? Well, I mean, we've been in a long-distance relationship, and by long-distance I mean from New Zealand to America, for just over 13 years. That is impressive. So how many times have you seen each other during those 13 years? Well, we first met five years in,

and then we've both made about three trips. So he's been here three times, I've been there three times. It obviously worked for 13 years, it states that it works, but are there complications having a long-distance relationship? Oh, definitely, yeah, especially the time zone difference, because I think, what, I have to count like six hours ahead, and it's that day yesterday. Sometimes when I work out, logistics is difficult.

I don't want to, this might be a bit of an awkward question, but were there any concerns about loyalty from either party? There is in the beginning, like when you're trying to, you know, suss out who somebody is. But I think after we met in person, definitely changed from there. Why haven't you moved over there or vice versa? Well, we actually intended to before the COVID hit

in 2020. So we've actually been in the immigration process for the last year and a half. So I'm actually hoping to move over there in December. Wow. And so that will mark over 13 years that you've worked on this relationship long distance and then you'll finally be together forever.

I hope so. Yeah. Is there a concern where you're like uh-oh what are we going to actually be like cohabitating no i think we do all right actually i think um we've managed to since we have stayed together we've been able to stay together for like four months or so so we have done uh at least long enough we can figure out what annoys each other. And so the comms, is it just Zoom? We actually, at the moment, we're using Discord. It's really good for video and chat and all sorts of stuff. So how often would you talk? Every day. Every day, wow.

Every single day since we met. Jeez. What would happen if we called him now? Well, it depends what time it is. Hold on. 16, what is it is hot on 16 what is it yeah oh yeah no he'd probably be all right should we give him a call what's what's um sure this is do you spend much time on the phone or is it just all discord and video

um mostly all discord and video yeah okay And sorry, what was his name? Austin. Austin. Hopefully he answers. Hello? Howdy. Hey, it's Jono. We don't know us.

We've kind of chimed in here with Hayley. It's Jono and Ben here. We're from a radio station in New Zealand. And she's phoned and told us about your long-distance relationship for 13 years. Yes, sir. It's been a really long relationship, and yeah, but we're working our way to get her here.

Yeah, well, we just heard about this. I feel like we know a lot about you over the last couple of minutes. Jeez, doesn't his accent sound amazing? I see why you fell in love with him, Hayley. I know, right? Yeah, and it's the same for me. I love her accent, too. It's amazing.

And ours? Oh, yeah, I love your guys' accents. Yeah, yeah. Especially for compliments. He definitely forced you into that one. It took me a while to figure some of the lingo. That was fun. How has it been for you?

Because we've heard Hayley's point of view. Oh, it's been tough. It's been tough. It's been tough. It's been a long road and we see the light at the end of the tunnel. And I couldn't be more thrilled to finally be together after so long apart. 13? Yeah, that is incredible.

Sorry for prying into your personal life. Is there an engagement on the horizon? Oh, yeah yeah we're already married oh you're married last uh you left me over there and we got married oh so you got married last year so right and so you can't just because you're married you're not able to just live up move over there yeah unfortunately not no and uh we had it planned and then COVID hit and it delayed us even further. So as soon as everything started lifting up, we got it done as quickly as we could.

What a love story. Isn't that beautiful? It's just lovely. It really is. Well, hey, listen, I hope that you guys get to connect and move in with each other soon. And best of luck for the future. Thank you all. We really appreciate it.

What a story to tell the grandkids. I love it. You guys keep well. Absolutely. You too. It's a brand new baby yesterday. Ran into someone we knew and they were pushing a pram and yeah, they've just had a baby. Great news. Congratulations. Yeah, it's a nice moment. Huge moments in any person's life. This is their first one. They're on debut.

I remember that, getting Sienna home, bringing her back from the hospital after a couple of days, our firstborn, and just going, shutting the door and just going, oh, okay, it's all on us now. What have we done? You're so excited and you're so like this amazing thing, but at the same time you're like, oh, geez, it's all on us. There's no one here to do this you know then eventually you get through it you're like here watch my cell phone for a couple hours mate here's the ipad try not to ram

raid try not to vape then now you get through the other side you do work your way out there but it was just that moment such a cliche but it's frightening how quickly it goes it goes fast it really does but anyway so i met this uh fresh, had a run-in with this fresh baby, which sounds like I had an altercation with the baby. But everyone, you go through this ritual, don't you, when you meet a brand-new baby, particularly when someone brings their baby into the office. Everyone's obliged to – I mean, I've seen a lot of babies in my career,

and they're like middle-aged bald white guys they all look the same don't they it could be you could be leah hart everyone always always always the look down into the hands on knees the look down into the pram this thing is oh you know and does the baby voice you know, like a lot of people do that. And I always think, what's the baby thinking? Like the baby just like, who is this person firstly? And why are they talking to me like this? And it's not a free-flowing conversation with the baby.

Not giving much back. But yeah, I stuffed up. Here's, I made a mistake because I wanted to go. I've been with you before making many mistakes in this situation before. With babies? Yeah. Yeah, I do. You always go, I don't know. Well, you tell me the mistake you made and I'll see if it I've been with you before making many mistakes in this situation before. With babies? Yeah. Yeah, I'm not so... You always go,

I don't know, well, you tell me the mistake you made and I'll see if it's the one you made before. I just said, I was in my head wanting to go, that's a beautiful, beautiful baby. But in my head I said, that's a baby.

Okay, no, I haven't heard you make that mistake. So then the mother's like, because she's wanting to hear, that's the cutest baby I've ever seen, you know, this sort of stuff. You want to big up to the babies. Law of averages, let's be honest, not all babies can be cute.

You know, there's some other guys out there. You're never going to say that, though, are you? No, you're never. But some of them are just red, blotchy balls of scrunched up, wrinkly skin. And that's fine. They grow into their skin, they get cute. But I just end up saying, that's a baby. And she just went, yes, yes it is i take it from me

i've had two of these myself what have you seen me do with no you always like you make a call you make a call you go what a beautiful girl or what a beautiful boy and a couple of times you've been wrong and i'm like why even what you know it's again it's a baby it's you know and it's sweet it's like don't do that someone got a girl and you laugh just go that's a baby just keep saying that's a baby two of ben's life rules don't start listing off people and thank you speeches and uh don't stipulate a baby's gender just say 2023 where it could be you know like hey it's a baby. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Thank you. Yes, Jono and Ben reporting live on the street here.

Live eyewitness report. We don't need to do this. Like, I was just going to have my sushi for lunch. We don't need to get a judge. It's not MasterChef. Busy morning commuters going on around us. And we are outside Victoria Sushi. Since 2002, that's some old school sushi there my friend.

I don't think, I think they make it fresh every day. My sushi we made last night, the family. Now I... No. I'm not an expert. No you're not, so don't comment. It's coming in about seven different sizes. Yeah it is. You've got jumbo, you've got really really tiny thumb size. I made bigger ones, the kids made smaller ones. Well, you're right though, the size is all off, but different make-its, different make-its. So for consistency of size, I'm going to mark you down, but hey, I'm not the expert. Okay, let's go see if we can see if I can get my sushi judged. I don't want to get judged. Victoria Sushi, how are you going today?

Good, how are you? Yes, good, thank you. We're Jono and Ben from the Hits radio station. Oh, yep. Now, I've made this sushi with my family at home. Now, good thank you. We're Jono and Ben from the Hits radio station. Oh yeah. Now I've made this sushi with my family at home. Now what do you think? Now, honest opinion. Last night, well that one doesn't look that good. It's last night, it's not as fresh as yours. What do you think?

Can I try? You can try, yeah. So there's different, there's salmon, there's chicken, we put some cream cheese in some as well. It's first time. Yeah, second time, second time making sushi. Now I put too much of one thing in, I wonder if you'll pick up on that. Yeah I think it's good, but it's something, it's watery. It's watery? Did you, is that what you put it in, too much water? We don't have a rice cooker, we had to use a pot, so I don't know if that's it. He's smelling it again. Yeah, and can I try?

You can try. Okay. He's eating it right now. It's like Master Chef. I'm so nervous, I'm so nervous. Okay. Oh, because some sushi, the rice, we have the seasoning, but I think this rice is no seasoning. Oh, seasoning.

Yeah. Yeah. And we put a little bit too much of the... Something vinegar. Yeah. Very vinegary. Yeah, I kind of missed. That was on me. I put too much of the vinegar, the sushi rice vinegar in the rice.

Just a little much. So how much would you get? There's a look of concern on his face. Almost that, you know when you've got your mouth full of food that you don't want to. Very watery. Do stay out of that. Hey, put a bit of soy sauce on it, a bit of wasabi, great. Why does it taste like a ham sandwich?

For me, the sizing was all off. Yeah, yeah. Very inconsistent sizing. There we go, Ben Boyce. That is the harsh realities of having your sushi judged by the professionals. I didn't want to do that, this is just for a private I'm not trying to start up a business He's right, it is so watery

News or not, now our wonderful producer, Taylor Montoya second most important Taylor on the station at the moment, given our Taylor Swift giveaway, you'll take your mantle back in about three or four weeks. But Taylor, you come here with three news headlines.

One of them's fake. 0800 the hits if you think you can figure out which one. If Donald Trump's listening, according to him, all of them are fake. It's all fake news, right? Okay, what have we got, mate? All right. Woman saves the day by performing sex act on thief,

allowing police to catch him. okay okay that's a great crime fighting move isn't it yeah okay next headline we can delve deep into these in the second human cloning to be publicly available by 2032 but critics warn this could be the beginning of the end okay 2032 so we're talking 10 years away. You can click on. Okay. Google Street View exposes man disposing a dead body. Ooh. So which one of those is fake? 4, 4, 8, 7 will give us a call. 0800 the hits.

We've got Hell Pizza up for grabs. They're delivering now beer and wine as well. I think the Google Street View could happen. Couldn't it? Because it's caught many people having affairs. It's just a snapshot, isn't it? Yeah. Buddy, a car that went around with the cameras on the roof

stitched up a lot of people. It did. Why did you have to do this to me, Google? And so what was the crux of that story? Is he seen carrying a body? Is he putting in a boot? What's he doing? A man with a trolley with a long object wrapped in a carpet.

What, during the day? During the day. No, that's fake. You do those during, that's the midnight sort of 4 a.m. It does seem like it's an after hours sort of thing. It's a night time task. So you're thinking that one's the fake one. Yeah, but also the cloning.

I reckon that would be available now. It's not 10 years away. You could clone a human now if you wanted to. Really? I guess. I don't know. I'm not science. I think science is probably there.

Couldn't you? I don't know. They're cloning. They clone pigs and things, didn't they? Yeah, but I guess they haven't done it yet. But yeah, I don't know. I don't know, mate. If they removed Nicolas Cage's face and put them on

John Travolta's face. Yeah, well, Troy. That was a documentary. Yeah. They can do that now. The headline is saying publicly available. So, yeah,

they might have cloning machinery now. Oh, I see what you're saying, but everyone can clone other people, yeah. But can you just walk into the dairy and go get cloned?

No, you're right. Okay. Who would you clone out of this show? Pick one person. Myself. Fair enough. That's a good option.

So what do you want to lock in? You want to lock in the fake one? Yeah, I'm going to say the dead body thing. No one's shifted a dead body in the middle of the day. We'll say that's fake. I'll go with Jono on this one. No, that's actually a true news headline. Really?

Yeah. So it wasn't actually a dead body, but he was seen. Well, they actually don't know what he was carting. But yeah, there's a man with a trolley and what looks like a dead body wrapped in a carpet, and they don't know if it was a dead body or not. He might have done reverse psychology because he'd be like, no one would ever think I would do this during the day. Okay, so what's the fake story?

The cloning. Oh, really? Yeah, I just whipped that up in my own head. Well, you bamboozled us with your money. Yeah, you did. They're already doing it now, stuff. The first one, the spicy act to stop a robber happened. Where was that?

I think somewhere in America. Yeah, great. But so pretty much he held up a, do you guys call them a servo? Or petrol station. Petrol station. Yeah, and to stall him from getting away. That's a great play. Yeah.

I mean, it's an interesting play. If that ever happens to me, I'll use that. Can I just say that headline is men summed up perfectly. Like, I'm sorry. I'm going in, I'm robbing the place. And I'm getting out of there. We're going to get out of there. We're going to get away.

It's good to go. How did she pitch it? She's like, hey, while you're there, do you want to... Yeah, I don't know how. Hey, I don't know how she would Like kind of change the vibes For him to even be into that But again, man summed up perfectly

I'm just looking at I like bad boys And yeah, you'll just come in here And you know I'm just looking at the article First commenters Not all heroes wear capes The Hits

The Jono and Ben Podcast Thank you so much for hanging out With us on The Hits Now, underrated Underappreciated talents. We've all got them. Every human's got something. At least one thing they're mildly good at.

Ben, you're great at hosting radio competitions where no one loses. Well, true. But that is a talent. Every time you come on air for a competition on this show, both people walk away with prizes. You're right. Where the idea of a competition is you show both people walk away with prizes you're right where the idea

of a competition is you have a winner and a loser i'll be terrible as an administrator at the olympics wouldn't i you'd be shocking you'd be sure like right now this whole taylor swift competition we're running at the moment he's in talks with management to fly over everyone seven four sevens yeah get everyone there taylor swift to put on another show. But Taylor, our producer Taylor, has a talent that we've only sort of realised over the last five weeks, which you can explain what it is. Yeah, so it pretty much all started when my parents used to ship me off to my non-non-non-non's house in school holidays.

My nonna used to have one of those old, I don't know if you guys would even know them like the dr oz calorie counting books okay right dr oz he was on uh oprah or something and he got his own little gig yeah so and she used to track everything she ate and i used to be so interested by it because i was like what do you mean food comes with numbers so she used to explain all that to me. And we used to do quizzes on how much food has what in it. And it always just stuck.

I've always just had a really keen interest in calorie count. So she calorie counts. So every time anyone in the studio picks up an item of food, Taylor will be like, you see that? 73 calories. It's also simultaneously a great trick to make you feel complete guilt of what you're inserting into your mouth at the time. Yeah I wouldn't say it's

a positive little party trick to have around people I actually should stop because it could lead to dangerous habits. Do you do that at parties? Go around and go that beer, that thing, that chips that thing and everyone's like oh who bought this? Oh internal So what would be an avocado? So depending on the size but your standard That thing, that chips, that thing. That's a bit of an internal judgment. Oh, internal, yeah. Okay, so avocado.

What would be an avocado? Okay, so depending on the size, but your standard avo would probably have like 250 calories. 250 calories? Yep. Okay, cheeseburger, Macca's. They're actually not even that bad. 300.
