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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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,
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?
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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,
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,
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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,
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!
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,
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
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.
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
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
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!
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?
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
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.
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
Appreciate all your calls
You can keep them coming through

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
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
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
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.
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
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
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.
I'm going to a wedding.
Yeah, so can't get out of the wedding.
Can't get out of it.
So you were like, it was all time to perfection.
It was awesome.
Thursday night weekend, Friday you fly to Aussie for the wedding.
Saturday my birthday.
It was the trifecta.
Yeah.
And jeez, I tell you what, the passion,
the Italian passion really coming out there.
And that was me, like, being respectable around you two.
You were being respectable?
Mate, you should have seen me if I got that news at home.
I would have, like, gone absolute mental.
What is the soundtrack to your household like?
Oh, I just,? Like 24-7.
My family call me the Tasmanian
Devil. That's my nickname, the Tasmanian Devil.
Because when I lose it, I'm like the cartoon character
that's just like spiralling
around the house. Yeah, so everyone else is probably
pretty happy about it, but you, unfortunately,
that means you might not be able to go see The Weeknd. I know, and I
asked my husband last night, because he's
in the wedding party of the wedding. He's the best
man. And I said to him, oh, like, it's husband last night because he's in the wedding party of the wedding. He's the best man.
And I said to him, oh, like it's all good because it's your friend.
And like I love him, great friend of mine too,
but like I'll probably have to stay in Auckland another night and I'll fly in on the day of the wedding.
And he thought I was joking.
I was like, this isn't a joke.
I have to do this.
And he's like, well, if you miss the wedding, that's on you.
Now we've actually got audio recordings of that conversation going down as well, too, there, Taylor.
This is live from the...
Oh, s***.
Yeah, I know.
Well, they should have two shows, shouldn't they?
You f***ing said a date.
No, I think it was the same audio.
I imagine it would have been similar sounding.
Was it a similar sort of...
Very similar.
Well, hopefully you get to see him at some point.
If not, we should all go on the Thursday and film it for him.
Yeah.
On a Friday.
It'll be great.

We're doing it at the moment.

She'd been boisterous and I was like, am I going to go?
No, you keep trying to weasel your way into this competition.
Yeah, I know.
My daughters keep pushing hard for this one, you know?
Yeah.
You're like, sorry, guys.
And I missed the ball.
I was like, I didn't get tickets.
They could divorce you as a father.
Yeah.
Then they're not associated with you in any way.
I know.
Yeah, you're right.
You could adopt them out.
Just to try and win this competition.
Yeah.
But the Swifties, crazed fans, aren't they?
We mentioned over 10,000 calls yesterday for the competition.
Just see me even mentioning it now, the phone lines blocked up.
Craziness.
Now, I have a game that I'd like to play because fan clubs, you know,
for celebrities, artists, musicians, actors, whatever,
they have cute little names.
So I want to play a game with you where I read out the name of the club,
and you've got to try and figure out who the artist is, okay?
Now, you've rattled me. You said you're just going to come up with a whole lot of fake ones the club, and you've got to try and figure out who the artist is, okay? Now, you've rattled me.
You said you're just going to come up with a whole lot of fake ones.
Yeah, have you?
Well, I had.
So can I rattle through those first, and then you can have a go,
and then we'll get to the serious ones.
