Starting point is 00:00:00 The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Thanks to Challenge, putting the service back into service stations. I just was, I just said before there was a Kiwi couple that were sitting next to something on a flight for 13 hours that they weren't particularly happy about. I managed to stumble across this article last night. This is hilarious. So they sit in premium economy. Yeah, Singapore Airlines I think. Yeah, they're not back there slumming up with the rest of us in economy, mate.'re sitting in premium economy. Yeah. Singapore Airlines I think. They're not back there slumming up with the rest of us in economy mate. They're in premium. So I didn't
Starting point is 00:00:30 understand or realise that you could bring dogs on flights. I think if they're like a support animal I think you're allowed to. So this particular case. What about like my German Shepherd as a support animal? Can I bring him on the flight? Maybe.
Starting point is 00:00:46 Maybe you can. My erratic Rottweiler. My pit bull, fresh from an underground cage fighting fight. Yeah, so this couple had played, as you said, premium economy and then realised that they were sitting next to a dog who was very snuffly, very snory, and also quite flatulent. Yeah. Oh, Producer Joel. Now, asorry, and also quite flatulent. Yeah. Oh, Producer Joel.
Starting point is 00:01:06 Now, as Ben said, we're going to talk about this. Producer Joel was lining up, accompanying audio. And I'm like, I don't even want to talk about it anymore. You said you're not, are you, Joel? Yeah. And you know this is us. You know he's above this. He's above.
Starting point is 00:01:19 I don't know why, for some reason, I get all high and mighty about it, but I don't know why. That was, I thought a little bit of you just died inside. Yeah, a little bit. Sound effect. Yeah yeah a little bit yeah yeah uh so they were there 13 hour flight uh they were given the option of moving uh after the dog slobbered all over the husband's leg he was wearing shorts they were like hey it's snoring it's flatulent um and then they were like oh hey it's nothing else in premium economy you can go to economy like oh no it's not that bad but then midway through the flight they're like yeah it's that bad it was that bad yeah so they ended up going to economy
Starting point is 00:01:50 as well but yeah so you can bring support uh animals along to the flight the thing is with the dogs when they do release uh the pressure is never audible is it no it just appears and you're like but everyone you blame the dog and then everyone's like oh you blame the dog you know it's a cliche you're like oh that's me the dog it might not have been the dog the whole time like we're putting a lot of stuff on this dog this dog can't defend itself it's not out here going guys it was the person next to me i was suffering the same fate it was a little french bulldog wasn't it yeah it was a french bulldog they are quite snuffly by nature because
Starting point is 00:02:25 they've just been bred so tightly that I think the old nasal canals are running a bit tight and obviously the anal canals are running a bit loose. Okay, okay, okay, we're not started. We're started the show on.
Starting point is 00:02:42 The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Now, producer Taylor came in with some wild claims that her, what's your favourite show? The Office US.
Starting point is 00:02:52 The US version. Did you like the British version? I only watched two episodes and I was kind of, I had already watched the US one
Starting point is 00:02:58 and I was like, oh, it's just not the same. Do you know Billie Eilish too? She didn't realise that Ricky Gervais did the original. She was like, who's this weird British guy ripping off The Office? But I can understand why, because The US Office kind of,
Starting point is 00:03:12 it did the first two seasons like the British one, then sort of dog-legged and took off on a life of its own. Yeah. Huge show, right, Steve Carell? And you love the show. You've watched it how many times now? I have just completed my eighth time through. How many episodes do you know roughly?
Starting point is 00:03:28 Oh well there's about eight seasons so and I'd say some seasons have like 25 episodes so I'd say like easy 150 201 apparently producer Joel's just telling me yeah. Now you said you told us that you've just
Starting point is 00:03:43 binged the entire 201 episodes in what? How many days? I started last Tuesday and I finished up Sunday night. Now, producer Joel doesn't believe this. He doesn't believe anything. I don't care. I know. He's Troll Harrison, we call him.
Starting point is 00:03:58 73 hours. What else did you do? Were you working at all? Nothing. And I'm happy to claim that. I did nothing. And I got it all done. But you were saying you were doing stuff around the house
Starting point is 00:04:08 and it was playing in the background. Yes, exactly. Like I can multitask. I know that's not something that you guys are aware of. We're not the ones saying that. We're on your side here. I can have the TV on and mop. I can have the TV on and undo the dishwasher.
Starting point is 00:04:22 I can have the TV on and do a bit of admin for YouTube. You could be producing a radio show while it's playing and have the office playing. Exactly. Yeah, right. So I do a lot of things.
Starting point is 00:04:31 So this is what we want to chuck open there. The biggest binges. 0800, we're not counting your last weekend, Joel. Because you'd win hands down. Not that sort of binging, right?
Starting point is 00:04:42 But binge watching when it comes to series. Are you a binge watcher? Oh, look, I do. Once I start something and get into it i do get my wife my wife amanda loves it loves loves watching shows she's really good and she will just keep going because i'll fall asleep when she'll just keep and then i'll i'll lose interest and i'll be like well you've gone ahead of me but she will i mean i've told you before i mean it's not a tv show but when i brought home spider-man on playstation she's like why would you want to play this? I was like give it a chance
Starting point is 00:05:05 give it a chance and then the next thing you know she was playing it I went to bed three in the morning I woke up and Amanda's still on the lounge going this is awesome
Starting point is 00:05:12 this is shoot I bought the thing and I'm like wow alright we've got five different suits I haven't slept for four days love Spider-Man love that guy
Starting point is 00:05:22 she's loving it she's doing stuff he's got webs he's got webs he's got all man the game had got way ahead you know so that's what she'll do well some people
Starting point is 00:05:29 they kind of approach it like it's a I've got to knock it off the to-do list don't they and it's not I'm sure I don't know
Starting point is 00:05:35 I'm no expert I don't think that is the reason that content is created that just becomes a thing you've got to knock off a to-do list no but they suck you in
Starting point is 00:05:42 at the end of the episode often they'll give you a little taste of the next one. You're like, oh, just watch a few more minutes, and that's when they get you. So, biggest binges. 0800, that's the telephone number. What have you done?
Starting point is 00:05:51 4487 is the text. You have a school this morning. Love to know. Do you say yes? Do you say yes? Do you say yes? You've done it. We want to know the biggest binges.
Starting point is 00:05:58 Producer Taylor says she's watched eight times the US version of The Office, the entire series. 201 episodes. She's binged it within the last week. The Office, the entire series. 201 episodes. She has binged it within the last week. Yeah, that's really impressive. Great text here, 4487. I've watched all 19 seasons of Grey's Anatomy. Eight weeks.
Starting point is 00:06:15 In eight weeks. 19 seasons of Grey's Anatomy. Literally, over those 19 seasons, you probably saw the cast turn grey. That is a hell of a run. Yeah. 19 seasons. We'll go to the phones turn grey. That is a hell of a run. Yeah. 19 seasons. We'll go to the phones. Betty.
Starting point is 00:06:28 Good morning. Great to have you on this morning. Biggest binges. What are we talking? Well, I had a very long, long flight coming back from England. And so I decided I'd watch the entire first series of Handmaid's Tale. Oh, how many episodes are we talking? That's like 10 episodes.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Wow. And I imagine they're 44-minuters, are they? Yeah, yeah, they're good long ones. And the worst part was it got to the very last episode, and it's coming up to the crescendo of the whole series, and we're just about to land, and they're almost going to turn all the systems off, and I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:07:09 So I had to like fast forward like a few of the little boring bits so I could make sure I got to the end before we landed. It's almost worse. Can we just do a couple of laps around New Zealand just so I can finish this? That was exactly right. Now, I know my wife, Jennifer, she's a big fan of The Handmaid's Tale, but aren't there some fairly graphic scenes in there?
Starting point is 00:07:29 Yeah, yeah. I had to be careful who might have been watching over my shoulder when some of those bits were going on. You do feel quite self-conscious on a plane if you're watching something. Even though you're like, you're watching a movie, and then you're like, oh, there's a scene here, and then you're looking around like, oh, jeez, I'll flick through this no what's that oh there's a small child do you know i think even more embarrassing didn't you get caught watching jonah and ben on a flight
Starting point is 00:07:52 i did i did because i didn't yeah that was where our tv show was up there for a bit and i just went oh i wonder what episode that is just had a look and then just as i watched the skywalk bus go oh yeah see yourselfing out yourself Are you mate And I was like Oh no I just wanted to see What episode And then I turned it off
Starting point is 00:08:09 And I was like Oh that's embarrassing That's a low moment Well good on you That's a great binge There we go Into the whole first season Of The Handmaid's
Starting point is 00:08:15 And did you follow it up With the other seasons No I haven't yet Oh you haven't You can always get those online So you know I just don't have that Spare time anymore You know No I know't have that spare time anymore, you know?
Starting point is 00:08:26 No, I know. It does take time, and time is precious. Hey, well, Betty, thank you so much for your call. Appreciate it. No worries at all. Appreciate that. We'll get Sian on. Oh, sorry, Rewa.
Starting point is 00:08:35 Rewa, biggest binges, Rewa, what did you do? Watched the Vikings three seasons in one night. What a legend. In one night? Yeah. The Vikings doesn't sound like one night. What a legend. In one night? Yeah. The Vikings doesn't sound like it's a short show either. Just even the name The Vikings sounds like it goes for about five hours each episode. No, one hour each episode.
Starting point is 00:08:56 You just cut out the sexy times. Oh, you didn't watch this? You're right. I'll look away at those, give them their private time. I've got enough spice in my life, Cesar. No, you just fast forward that. Are they quite long? Are they quite extended?
Starting point is 00:09:09 Yeah, they're like... Yes, there's about half an hour in each episode. Half an hour? It's like, wrap it up, guys. Jeez, the Vikings had some stamina. You just fast forward that and get on to the good stuff. All that wasn't good stuff. No, it's not the good stuff, mate.
Starting point is 00:09:25 That's not the good stuff. No, it's not. The neighbor actually watches it for the storyline. Exactly. I do. I watch it for the killing and the beatings and all that. Okay, all right. Hey, each to their own.
Starting point is 00:09:37 Each to their own. Love your call. Have a great day. I'd probably favor the other side, but anyway. Anyway, good on you. I really appreciate it. We'll take one more quickly. Amy, biggest binges.
Starting point is 00:09:45 What have you done? So in the last lockdown in Auckland, our house would do a consecutive series every couple of days, just to pass time. So we did 10 seasons of Fringe, Stranger Things, Big Bang Theory, X-Files, but currently just finished 23 seasons of Special Victims Unit. 23 seasons!
Starting point is 00:10:15 Is that the dunk dunk with that sound effect? It keeps turning up on Facebook. You know those videos that you turn on Facebook, and then it was like, oh, let's just watch this whole thing. The whole thing? Jeez, that's a bloody lot of victims over 23 seasons. Yeah. But all of them are special. Wow.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Well, that is, how many more seasons to go of special victims? I don't know, that's as many as Prime has. Yeah, that is, well, you guys are machines, Amy. I don't know if we're going to beat that, but if you can, the biggest binges are 800. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. My daughter, Indy, 11 years old. Now, sometimes, lovely that my mother-in-law, Joyce,
Starting point is 00:10:50 she helps out in the mornings just because I'm not there and we're going to get the kids to school. I'm here in radio in the morning, and so she helps out. I like to get my kids ready at four in the morning. I'm like, man, I'm going to work. You're dropping off. They wait outside school for four hours. Four hours, mate.
Starting point is 00:11:05 I'll be right. So she helps out. And sometimes, not every day, but sometimes she'll take my daughter, Indy, to school. And Indy's got a wee bit of an issue with the radio choice in the car with Joyce. Now, Joyce listens to Newstalk ZB. And Indy's got some issues about the radio program in the morning.
Starting point is 00:11:23 And as someone else who's up against Newstalk ZB in the mornings. They don't need any more listeners? No, no. And I was like, well, hey, what's your issue with Newstalk ZB? And this is my daughter, Indy, talking about Mike Hosking. What's your issue with the mornings, going with Grandma to school? I have to listen to Mike McHosking. I don't know his name, but I have to listen to him every single day. What's wrong with Mike McHosking in the morning? What do you think about Mike McHosking. I don't know his name, but I listen to him every single day.
Starting point is 00:11:45 What's wrong with Mike McHosking in the morning? What do you think about Mike McHosking? It's just a bit boring. What sort of stuff? Is he talking about, oh, Labour, they're terrible? No, he's talking about politics, and then he laughs. I don't understand why he laughs. Oh, okay. There you go. Mike McHosking in the mornings. Don't listen understand why he laughs. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:12:05 There you go. Mike McCoskey in the mornings. Don't listen to him. Mike McCoskey. I like that name, Mike McCoskey. Well, if she doesn't like laughing for no reason, then she definitely shouldn't listen to this show. That's true.
Starting point is 00:12:15 That's what the backbone of commercial radio is, fake laughter. Why are you laughing at this? I don't know. It just seems like something we need to do. I wouldn't have thought. I mean, I haven't heard a lot of Mike McCoskey because we're on at the same time, but I wouldn't have thought. I mean, I haven't heard a lot of Mike McCosking because we're on at the same time, but I wouldn't have thought he'd be laughing too much.
Starting point is 00:12:27 Maybe he's laughing at the Labour government. That's right. Joy to his cold, cold heart. Laughing all the way to his helicopter. I would have thought, you know, she's very sensible, puts herself to bed, reads books, writes lists for the family when you go on holiday of stuff you need to pack. I would have thought ZB would have been right in her wheelhouse. She gets to know all about the tax updates, all that sorts of stuff.
Starting point is 00:12:47 Old Mick Hosking, eh? The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Well, we're reading a story that just happened in the States a couple of days ago. So a guy wasn't particularly liked by his girlfriend's mother. Right, okay, for a tense relationship with the mother-in-law. And he's like, my girlfriend's mother never liked me. so after she passed away uh i decided to propose at her funeral thinking that they'll finally free of her judging eyes their judgment and people have oh i don't you'll find this hard to believe but people on the internet have criticized him for the location or
Starting point is 00:13:21 just in general the friendliest place on earth, the internet. What are they criticising him for? Saying it's probably not the right time nor place. A kind of... Maybe kind of a... Just give it a day or two. Yeah. Let some dust settle. Let the ashes settle.
Starting point is 00:13:38 He put it on Reddit. He's like, do you guys agree this is a poor decision or you think I made the right move? And he's gone to the internet to try and find solace. Yeah. She was a little confused. He got down on his knee a couple of hours into the wake. Pop the question.
Starting point is 00:13:53 She said, are you, and swore as well, are you, yeah. So she was a bit rattled by it as well. What did she say, yes or no? Well, not at the time. Not at the time. Okay, so yes. Does it end with a happy story? It doesn't actually say The happy story
Starting point is 00:14:06 It ends so far With a lot of Internet bullying And a lot of trolls Getting involved We're working through Some stuff now That's probably
Starting point is 00:14:13 What stage they're in At the moment Yeah She's got her start And I've got mine But 0800 the hits Where you were proposed to Ben Bush
Starting point is 00:14:23 You went exotic Didn't you Oh yeah Travelling through Europe Travelling And we're in Rome By the Trevi Fountain It was lovely of the hits where you were proposed to uh ben bush you you went exotic didn't you oh yeah traveling through europe uh traveling and we're in rome and by the trevi fountain it was lovely um yeah so i'd carry this ring uh for a nice occasion but i was very very nervous about traveling trying to keep secretly felt like i was having some sort of secret sort of affair thing going on trying to keep it away um from my wife finding it had times where bags would get searched because here's somebody with dreadlocks
Starting point is 00:14:45 trying to travel around Europe. And you're like, oh, search your bags. And you're like, oh, please don't do this in front of my girlfriend at the time. There's a lot of narcotics in those bags. Please don't make this awkward. I don't want to be on border patrol. So a couple of times I thought,
Starting point is 00:14:56 jeez, I'm going to have to propose in customs of like Budapest or something like that. It wasn't quite what I'd planned. But in the end, I managed to do it. While in the middle of an investigation. Yeah. But so it came through in the end. It came through in the end I managed to get the ring. While in the middle of an investigation. Yeah. But so it came through in the end. It came through in the end, and as soon as I proposed,
Starting point is 00:15:08 it was a nice, lovely moment, but everyone that was around trying to get tourists to buy flowers and other things, as soon as they saw a proposal. Oh, they're on you. White on rice stuff. It was like the bouquet of flowers, the things, I'm putting it in my hands and stuff. How much do you love her?
Starting point is 00:15:24 Yeah. Well, not that much because I don't want to hands and stuff. How much do you love her? Yeah. Yeah, right. Well, not that much because I don't want to buy any of these flowers. Did she say yes? She did say yes, yes. Yeah. Which is good. Obviously she said yes.
Starting point is 00:15:33 Yeah. Would have been a little bit awkward. You know, public scene too. You're like, oh, okay. By the way, here's some flowers and some other stuff. So 0800 the telephone number 4487. Where are you a proposed to? Someone in America who proposed.
Starting point is 00:15:45 He decided to propose to his girlfriend on the day of her mother's funeral. Sorry, because the mother never really approved of their relationship. So he was like, well, hey, sadly, she's gone. My condolences. This seems like the opportunity, you know. I mean, maybe he could have gone with, hey, life's short. This is a great reminder Of life being short Let's move on
Starting point is 00:16:06 With ours together There's no time like the present You know That would have been A good response Well there is time Tomorrow is probably A better time
Starting point is 00:16:12 Yeah maybe later Yeah you're right Tomorrow Definitely not Not even on the day I'm not even going to Justify on the day You're right
Starting point is 00:16:17 Next day would have been better And then he would have Had to go to the wake And eat the little sausage rolls And he would have been A little deflated At the We'll talk about this
Starting point is 00:16:24 In the car ride On the way home Everyone else would have Been going Did deflated at the, we'll talk about this in the car ride on the way home. Everyone else would have been going, did they just do that? Yeah. Whispering about that stuff, so yeah. We're in Whangamata and I was providing breakfast for my wife, Jennifer.
Starting point is 00:16:35 Some Marmite on toast, Ben. Yeah. What about it, Faves? You cooked it as well? Whooped up a breakfast? Thank you, Joel. You know me. Whooped up a romantic breakfast?
Starting point is 00:16:44 You know me. Okay. Just imagine Carlos Spencer in romantic breakfast. You know me. Just imagine Carlos Spencer in the Toffee Pops ads. Or the opposite of whatever that was. I was strolling with toast. And I wanted to catch her, the theory was catch her unawares. Right. Unprepared.
Starting point is 00:16:58 I'm sure you did. Freshly woken up. I'm like, hey here's your toast. And she didn't notice the ring on the toast at first. And there was a part of me going, oh, dear God, if she starts eating it and choking on the ring, then this is going to be a disaster. But thankfully she did notice it. So she put the manky, Marmite-laden ring on her finger.
Starting point is 00:17:15 And I've been a poor stain on Jennifer's life ever since the Marmite. So, all right, how did the hits? Where were you proposed to? We'll get Steve on. Welcome, Steve-o. Where was it uh i proposed to my wife on the nemesis roller nemesis inferno roller coaster that sounds all types of awesome the nemesis inferno and uh i imagine quite a high and high action environment proposed to someone yeah well it was, my plan was,
Starting point is 00:17:45 I wanted to do it on like the tick, tick, tick as you're going up the big hill. And I proposed like right as we were about to go over. So I was like, do you want to marry me? She's like, wait, what? I said, quickly, take the ring. What was that? Whoa!
Starting point is 00:18:00 Wait, what, what, what? That is brilliant, Steve. And she said yes, obviously, in amongst the screams. Yes, yeah, she said yes, and then we had a big adrenaline jump and then rode over, and then it was all very happy. So you actually had a ring that you tried to physically hand over on a roller coaster? Yes, I decided if I was going to play with fire,
Starting point is 00:18:20 I should probably hold the match. You did well done. I mean, what a cool story, though. Very, very cool. Really cool. I should probably hold the match. Well done. What a cool story though. Very, very cool. Really cool. I appreciate you calling, Steve. We've got a fridge magnet as well with her face on it when we were doing the thing. One of those ones that you get afterwards that you see
Starting point is 00:18:35 in photos. They're never flattering those photos, are they? She looks excited at least. That's good. That's awesome. Appreciate it. Kate, speaking of losing your ring mid-proposal, where were you proposed to, Kate? Skydiving in Namibia. Skydiving.
Starting point is 00:18:51 So did your partner hand over the ring mid-fall? No, no, no, no. It was a tandem skydive, so my dive guy had a sign in front of me during the free fall saying, I love you, will you marry me? And then I jumped first, he jumped, and then we sort of met up in mid-air and then came down and at the bottom he'd already landed
Starting point is 00:19:18 and handed me with a ring that he'd bought from the toy shop in Socketman that morning. What a bloody legend. There's a lot of stuff that could have gone wrong on that dive. You're adding a whole other element to the health and safety. We'd all had a large night the night before, so
Starting point is 00:19:35 none of us were feeling particularly well, but on the plane it was fine. Oh, good on you, Kate. Love that mid-skydive proposal. And John, probably the strangest location you proposed. Where was it, Johnny? John! John, yeah!
Starting point is 00:19:54 Yeah! John, no, no, you're John. Yeah. I'm John-o. How are you, mate? Where were you proposed to? I proposed to my girlfriend in a graveyard. In a graveyard?
Starting point is 00:20:05 Yeah, but it was Christmas morning oh sorry I went there and I was at my mum's grave and I looked up at her and I said darling this is where most lives end I hope this is where ours begins oh that is beautiful I thought you had married a dead person
Starting point is 00:20:21 but John that is a lovely, lovely story. Now, Producer Joel says you're his second cousin. That's right. I met you guys down here at the show day. I mean, you're giving your tips. Yes. Yes.
Starting point is 00:20:34 Remember, John. I'm a big bald guy. Yeah. I'm a big bald guy too. I was on my DJ page. That's a nice one, boys. Good idea, John. That's a lovely proposal
Starting point is 00:20:45 Appreciate all your calls You can keep them coming through 4487 The Hits The Jono and Ben Podcast Here's a playing in New Zealand Two concerts at the end of the year And we've been saying
Starting point is 00:20:59 It's Thursday and Friday night And then there was some jokes Like, ironically the weekend's not playing On the weekend You know, all that stuff He some jokes like, oh, ironically, the weekend's not playing on the weekend, you know, all that stuff. He might have heard those jokes, maybe. Covered across, covered some ground. And yesterday news broke that he was changing the dates
Starting point is 00:21:16 due to huge demand, unprecedented demand in Australia. They've put on like a 21st show or something, a 22nd show in a row in Melbourne or something crazy. And so that means the Auckland Thursday night date is going to get shunted to Friday. The Friday night date is going to get shunted to Saturday. And the only person in the world
Starting point is 00:21:35 upset about that is our producer Taylor Montoya. Yeah, well I think it's kind of like Friday, people just keep their tickets for Friday and Thursday becomes Saturday. That's alright, that That's all right. I just thought, you know. But for a lot of people, that's great because Friday, Saturday night. That's great.
Starting point is 00:21:50 No one wants to have a party on a Thursday. They don't have to deal with, you know, work hung over on a Friday morning. So this is great news for 99.9% of people that love the weekend and it's hugely popular. So it's Friday, Saturday night, the weekend on the weekend. Now, apart from Taylor, as as we mentioned this was her reaction yes now that bearing in mind this conversation to be going on for about 11 minutes until I thought I'd better record this it's gold
Starting point is 00:22:14 yeah I know Well they shouldn't have two shows should they? You f***ing set a date and say come if you like or don't f***ing come f***ing more What the f***, man? I don't know who's... Thanks, Brent. If it's a joke, he's played a good straight face. There was Britton Rudkin, our newsreader, coming and dropping the news, breaking news
Starting point is 00:22:34 from the newsreader. Because you're, Producer Tali, you're a massive fan of The Weekend, isn't he, in New Zealand? Yeah, I love him, and I was so keen, so I know everyone's probably thinking, why does she care so much, just go the Friday or Saturday? No, I can't go I was so keen. So I know everyone's probably thinking, why does she care so much? Just go the Friday or Saturday. No, I can't go the Friday or Saturday. I have already things on in Sydney. You're going to a wedding.
