The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Thanks to Challenge, putting the service back into service stations. That is Taylor Swift, a cruel summer, and we're getting things off by chucking someone in the drawer. Whenever you hear a Taylor Swift song during The Hits, give us a call on 0800 THE HITS. First caller through will go in to win that amazing prize. Trip to Sydney for two, accommodation, flights, and of course those two tickets to Taylor Swift on her Eros tour. And it just popped up at 6 o'clock straight away this morning. Trip of a lifetime.

Well, that's all relative, isn't it, depending how much life you've got left to live. But Sandy, welcome from Auckland. How are you this morning? Morning. Thanks, guys. How are you? Good. If I could coin a pun, you pulled a Swifty, got up early, and you're in the draw.

Firstly, this is the ideal time to get in the draw, I reckon, for this competition. Isn't it just? Every other time. I haven't been lucky enough to get through, so yay! It's great. Now, are you obviously on your way to work? Yeah, I'm at work. Just at Starship, yeah.

Oh, good on you. Wonderful. We did a thing with Starship the other week, actually. We did? Yeah. Fundraising with Barfoot and Thompson. Yeah, it was awesome, actually. Very fun night. Very fun night.

We've done a lot of good things for Starship so good on you. No, we don't really. We've just turned up to a couple of things. It was lovely to be part of the amazing, amazing work that Starship does for helping out some of the kids in New Zealand. Fantastic. Fantastic organisation. It's wonderful.

I just wanted to brag about our charity work, Ben. But anyway, Sandy, are you doing this for yourself? Are you doing this for your kids? What are you doing it for? Oh, look, for my daughter. Well, for both of us. We went to see Kayla Swift when she was last here in New Zealand, and she was just so great. I mean, she actually came off the stage, and we managed to do a high five with her, so

that was really exciting. Oh, did you? And that was my daughter's first concert, so it was memorable. So it would be lovely to go and see her again. You got a high five? Wow. Have you washed your hands since? No. No? And that was my daughter's first concert, so it was memorable. So it would be lovely to go and see her again. Wow. Have you washed your hands since?

No. Even though Starship are like, hey, you need to wash your hands for health and safety. Taylor Swift touched it. I just put a glove on. She works one-handed. How did you end up getting high-fived? Were you lingering outside a hotel or something? No, she just came down, actually, because I thought it was a security building,

just where we were having to be sitting. She actually came off the stage and walked straight past us, and then all the people that were in that sort of row got a high-five, so it was really cool. Oh, well, this is the closest we're ever going to get to Taylor Swift. Talking to Sandy, whose hand has clasped the hand of Taylor Swift. That is incredible, Sandy. If you want to come and high-five me at Starship, come on in.

Well, we do. We do need to. Then we would have touched you. I'm turning this into a weird space. Well, congrats, you're in the draw. All the very best for the competition. Thanks for getting up early and listening. Fingers crossed.

Awesome. You were talking about a crazy dream you had the other night, producer Joel, that Niall Horan moved next door to your house. Oh, yeah, that was really weird. A fear in Joel's eyes when you said that. What dream? A few crazy dreams. Yes, I was.

A real random dream. I'm not even a One Direction fan, and Niall Horan was living next to me in Green Lane, Auckland. Did you tell him that? Did you tell him that you weren't a One Direction fan in the dream? I'm a little bit of a One Direction fan, actually. He probably doesn't want to move next door to a One Direction. No, true, actually.

I just wanted to say, I had a little bit of a One Direction fan actually. He probably doesn't want to move next door to a One Direction. No, true actually. I just wanted to say I had a crazy dream last night. Taylor Swift started a moving company called Taylor Shift and she moved my stuff and I was like how? Because you know how

it's like cherry picks things that have happened the day before and we were talking about puns with someone yesterday. We were, yeah. Combined with the Taylor Swift. There you go.

Taylor Shift. So that's a great business opportunity for anyone too if wanting to get into the moving game the hits the jonno and ben podcast and sydney now jonno they talk about in this job uh you know vulnerability you know be your real self and i realized uh yesterday there's no more vulnerable moment than when you show someone a video a video that you think is funny, you're putting all – and you want a reaction from that person in real life. Now, you're very good at it. You fire off videos.

You're always sending off videos that you see to me. A lot of time DMing me videos, which I appreciate. Like, don't get me wrong. But you're like – it's not you're showing me them. You're just firing them off. I love scattergunning videos. There's a lot of them featuring very little tiny people from Nepal dancing. There was a little fellow on his head the other day.

See that? Waving his legs around and stuff like that. So many random videos. Very inappropriate videos. Yeah, so you do that. They're not for, I wouldn't put them out to the wider public. But I'm not normally a person that shows other people videos. Like I find in the office situation, you know,

if you do it in the office and you play it on your computer, things have got to be perfect conditions you know if the wi-fi is playing up if you haven't you've got to skip through the video at the start of the pre-roll you're like you've got to watch this and you've got to sit through a bloody gramelly ad or something for 30 and those are long seconds when everyone's standing around they feel long because you're showing someone something you're like have a look at this video that builds up the anticipation for the video. I know, and that can't be. And I had one of those moments yesterday at home

where I was watching something on my phone, and I went, that's funny. Just put to myself. And one of the kids was like, whoa, what are you laughing at? So I hadn't approached them. And then I was like, okay, I can, you know, it felt like a video. It wasn't someone spinning on their head or anything like that.

Waving their legs around. It felt like it was a funny little parody song that I, you know, I enjoyed. So I'm like, yeah, it seems appropriate for the kids. So I'll show the kids. And the kids laughed and they enjoyed it. And then my wife went past and said, oh, what are you all watching? And at this point I was like, well, I've had a good track record already that I've enjoyed it.

The kids have enjoyed it. I will be vulnerable and I will show this video to my wife. Thinking, you know, like I'm smiling away, thinking this was a funny little parody song. And nothing. Just nothing. What was the parody of? It was basically a funny song about something we were talking about the other day

when you go into the bathroom and you haven't made the smell, but everyone, when you come out. And it was a nice little song about how you're at a party and all that little story. I was like, I appreciate this. It's speaking to me. Everyone thinks it's you. And I played it to my wife and she went, I guess that one's funnier for you than it is for me. And so it left.

I was like, oh. You lost the audience. Yeah. And I was like, that's a vulnerable moment. That is. You're right. And you can tell when you've lost them as well, because're looking at them going hey i'm smiling they're feeling the pressure that they need to laugh at the correct moment and then at some point you say oh they're not gonna laugh and you're looking at

them with puppy dong eyes of please something yeah like maybe they haven't heard it maybe the volume's not up maybe it's you get the fact and she no, I get all this. It's a great way to turn a two minute video into an eternity. It does. It feels like a long, long time. And then I'm like, oh, anyway.

Yeah, but you do bring great shame upon yourself, don't you? You do. Unnecessary shame. That's why I just fire them off. I'm like,

you digest that in your own time. I know you're probably not going to enjoy these, but that gives me even more joy. And I'll send some more little spinning people on their heads from Nepal to you today.

The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. I followed yesterday down a very long stretch of road, a cyclist. Now, do you cycle? I know you've got a bike. We bought the whole family bikes, and you're like, come on, we're training for the Tour de France. No, we cycle around you know

every now and again yeah it's a weekend thing it's not usually a late you know commute commute get to work at you know

four or five in the morning is I don't know cycling at that time for me I'm like yeah but if I had to deal with traffic all the time maybe I would

you know probably a great way to get to work isn't it you probably beat the cars and your fitness it's great for your fitness too.

You had a period there where every time your family wanted to go somewhere on the weekend, you're like, great, we're going to cycle. We're going to use these bikes. And then you push them to a 10 or 15K limit. I would look at the thing and I'll go, oh yeah, no, that's doable. 12K. They'll be like, 12K. He's all right.

Okay, so peel it back. Peel it back. I found the line. Found the line. But yeah, so I was following a cyclist down a very long stretch of road, like I said before, sort of six or seven kilometers. And he was a very angry man and full bodied Lycra.

Oh really? And it's hard to take people seriously when they're yelling at you and, and sponsored Lycra. Yeah. Isn't it? Yeah. But granted the poor guy, there was multiple drivers trying to hit him off his bike.

So he was flaring up. And it just feels that, do you need the stress in your life? Hop in a car, mate. You know? For 7Ks, I was like, do you need to do this, Steve Self buddy? He's waving his arms. But the problem is when you're abusing people and you're on the move and they're on the move, the message gets lost in translation.

All you hear is, you're a bloody... You can tell they're saying something unfavorable about you, but you can never digest it. I mean, it's good. It's good to get people out of their cars and stuff. I found it too with cycling around. It is quite nerve wracking when you go past,

you know, people in their car, they're going to open their door and they're going to, you know, there's a lot can go wrong. Oh, you can tell why they're bloody race cars

in the red, so to speak, these cyclists. Because everywhere they go, someone's trying to knock them off their bike. Yeah, sometimes accidentally,

but it's still, it doesn't matter if you're not in the wrong, it's still going to hurt you a lot more when you're on the bike. And then sometimes you just cop abuse

from motorists too. Oh, you're a bloody, yeah. So spare still going to hurt you a lot more when you're on the bike. And then sometimes you just cop abuse from motorists too. Hi, you're a bloody... Yeah. So spare a thought for people like Lance Armstrong, eh? You know, the real heroes. Is he a hero? Out there, doing it. Maybe he's not a hero.

He's still a hero in my heart. He's still one. He did one, actually. He did. Can't take that away from him. Oh, no, they did take that away. I think they did take that away from him, actually. We used to do stuff on the road

when we had to film stuff for TV, and we had the same thing. You'd have passing motorists, and they'd yell stuff out the window, and you're like, I can tell it's some form of abuse. But then you just end up waving politely. If you want to get your message across, don't do it from a moving vehicle. Jonas Internet Wormhole. Uh-oh, like my hair.

I've gone missing. Blown the internet again, though, Ben. Now, this was a suggestion by producer Joel, the same man who made us waste 47 minutes trying to name 100 past and present Warriors players last week. Oh, yeah, I did enjoy that. Now, all week, I'd be thinking of more players. I'm like, damn it.

Blake Green. Blake Green's another one. It's too late now. Joel's suggestion was, why don't you do an internet wormhole on the most popular cuisines? Cuisines around the world And it's really interesting So this was based off

The most tagged food On SoshMed In 23 So far Okay So I'll let you down easy Bit of a disclaimer Steak and cheese pies

They didn't make the cut Didn't make the cut Yeah Okay So most popular cuisine As of 2023. So this is worldwide people are tagging in Instagram and saying, right. You know, you go like hashtag Japanese or something like that.

Yeah, right. Yeah. So the most popular, over 20 million tags. Oh, this is on Instagram alone. The Italians. Producer Taylor. She's smiling at that one. And you'd have to say

probably a very popular, well, clearly a very popular cuisine. How do they know the difference between just, oh mate, who's Italian and penne pasta, that is Italian dish for the hashtag.

Are they going through and going, oh. It wasn't in the analytics. Yeah, because they could, you know, they could be, you know, we met these lovely people,

hashtag Italian. Oh yeah. We had met these lovely people, hashtag Italian. Or we had a pere pasta, hashtag Italian. Smarter people than me looked into it. But you may have found a flaw in this. But the Italians, they love to say Mamma Mia, don't they? Producer Taylor, she's always coming in here saying Mamma Mia. But a great cuisine, wide and varied. Your pizzas, your pastas, your dominoes, your garlic breads, you name it.

Number two, the most popular cuisine, they're beautifully polite, and they're saying, wasabi loses the Japanese. Oh, Japanese, yeah, gotcha. Yeah, you love your Japanese homemade sushi? Yeah, I do. Gave it a crack. You made me get judged by the industry. Yeah, by the industry. We. You made me get it judged by the industry. Yeah, by the industry.

We took it to the sushi shop next door. Humbling experience. He said very watery. Very watery. He's like, this is the most watery sushi I've ever had. Did you ever think you were going to get watery as a compliment? No, but I know it's not as good as this tool, but we give it a crack and it tastes all right.

Number three, the most popular cuisines. Some would say it was Nani, a business. The Indians. Oh, nice. 1.2 billion mouths to feed in India. And I love it. I'd have that at least once a week. Yeah.

Yeah. Great cuisine. Number three on the list. Top four. Now, I don't know if you can guess this. Have a go. So hang on. What order have we got?

We've had Italian number one, Japanese number two, Indian number three. Okay, so this is number four. Number four. What do you think? It's really surged in popularity around the place. Oh. Particularly in the chicken game. Oh, Korean chicken. Korean. Yeah. The ultimate episode of Neighbours at War over there

in Korea. But they've won that. They've won the war to hit inside the top five at number four and number five. Most popular cuisine. What do you think? Number five. You've gone the opposite way to what I thought you'd go.

I should have gone five to one. Now I'm like, okay, so less popular than the other ones. Well, there's so many cuisines out there. But I was like, would it be better to build the most popular? I'm like, I don't know. I like to do things the other ones. Well, there's so many cuisines out there. This is top five. But I was like, would it be better to build the most popular? I'm like, I don't know. I like to do things the other way around.

Anyone could be the fifth most popular cuisine. I don't know. Chinese food. What other countries have we got? American. It's going to be racist to the country that you don't guess. Yeah, I don't know. The Mexicans.

The Mexican food. Oh, yeah, that makes sense. Yeah. I could have guessed that one. Yeah, so that's the top five in an unordered fashion from one to five. I like to get the suspense out of the way early, Ben. Yeah, that's right. Let's go with the big bang.

It's like announcing the election, then having all the debates afterwards. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Ben, I've just figured out and only just realised something I've been doing recently on text, maybe not the done thing. And I want to apologize because it harks my mind back to something that you had a common complaint about your father kevin boyce now text messages you know you get those big sometimes you get big long messages and i like to i've just figured out the bloody thumbs up but hold it down give it a thumbs

up you know boom, no writing required. Just like acknowledging that you've seen it, you've read it. You can do it while you're driving. It's all safe as houses. Although I've just learned that apparently there are appropriate and inappropriate times to use the thumbs up reply as a function. Like, for example, what should we do for dinner tonight? Thumbs up doesn't suffice because you're not really giving an answer.

That's my frustration with it. When you have lots of things, you're like, there's questions in here that need to be addressed and someone will just go, thumbs up. Sounds good, thumbs up. You're like, what? I've said, what do you want? Anyway.

Your dad, he just likes to reply with the letter K. K, that's what I get. After a novel text, because you send some big texts. Yeah. Many questions. He's actually pretty good on the comms for most of the thing. But yes, but sometimes with that, well, we'll send like, I'll go. I haven't replied for a while.

I need to send a big one. He'll just go, K. K. Do you think sometimes when he presses it back, you're like, oh, has he accidentally misfired that? He's got more to come. But K can be a bit of an insult as well. So 0800, this is what we want to open up this morning. New Zealand's sloppiest communicators.

Are you living with them? I imagine it happens quite a lot. I don't like that. I also think you're either a phone talker or you're not a phone talker. Yeah. Jim, my wife, she's like, you just don't like talking on the phone. You're the same. Yeah.

You'd rather send a, you know, 10 page text than have a phone conversation. Sometimes I feel like you've got to do this, this whole dance when you're on the phone. Oh, how's it? Oh, how's it? Oh, how's it? Yeah. All right. You know, good.

Hope everything is great. You know, like something like that, you know, I don't probably fool it. Well, I do hope things are great, but at the same time, we're not delving deep. We're just getting to what we need to say. What's the longest conversation you've had on the phone recently? Would you go over three minutes? Oh, well, yeah, I guess probably work-related stuff.

You probably would for things, but not normally. I'm kind of like, give me a thing, get to the chat. It's been great. Wrap it up nicely, much like a radio chat. You know, we've had a a thing. Get to the chat. It's been great. Wrap it up nicely, much like a radio chat. You know, we've had a chat. It's been three minutes. It's been great. Now I'm ready to move on to something else.

Oh, 800 The Hits. Give us a call. Yeah, give us a call. New Zealand's sloppiest communicators. You can text 24487. As your partner, maybe. You know, as your friend, whoever it is. Maybe it's your parents.

If it's you, you're probably not going to call or text. You can text us K. Get a whole lot of going to call or text. We can text us K. Get a hold of people. You think you're sloppy, text us K. 4487. The hits. The Jono and Ben podcast. The sloppiest communicator when it comes to texting and keeping in touch.

My dad, John Pryor, John Walter Pryor, he, very hard British man, Air Force man. Doesn't say much. He's only said one thing to me in my life when I was 16. I think it was, pass me the remote, please. Or something like that. But no, it's funny when I talk to him on the phone. Those are some quick combos. We could not have spoken for one, two months.

How you going? Good. What are you up to? Not much. Pass you on to your mother. Great conversation. In and out. You would like that.

It's good. Succinct. I like it. New Zealand's sloppiest comms. Jennifer, we'll get you on. Welcome mother. Great conversation. In and out. You would like that. It's going succinctly. I like it. New Zealand's sloppiest comms. Jennifer, we'll get you on. Welcome to New Zealand's breakfast. Hi. Now, it's your husband.

So many texts and calls coming through about boyfriends and husbands, Jennifer. They have different priorities, I feel. And what happened? So, I took my child to daycare one day last week only to find out that the day before he'd been sent home sick. My husband had taken a half day of work, gone and picked him up and not told me. Oh, so you had no idea? I had no idea.

And the only reason daycare rung my husband instead of myself was because they knew I had client meetings that day. So they were doing it as a courtesy, but their response when they found out that I had no idea was, okay, next time we'll text mum too. So hold on, what happened? So he picked the child up. You came home, you spent the night together.

There was a whole day. There was a whole thing. Yeah, nothing, nada. Now, from our point of view, he's just not wanting to bother you. You know? Luckily, it wasn't anything serious because if he'd been vomiting or something, he's supposed to stay off school for a couple of days at least. But it was just a temperature from his vaccination.

But yeah, if it had been something serious, I would have had to have known or I wouldn't have been able to take him to school. Sloppy comms there. Jennifer, thank you for your call. Appreciate it. So many more coming through on 0800 The Hits. Amanda, it's your husband as well, your husbo. Well, yeah, I'd often send my husband two or three text messages

going into some great detail and he'd sort of just reply with an okay. Well, I mean, unless he's acknowledging, I guess he's seen it. Yeah. You're wanting the same level of commitment to replying to the text. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. But no, it's not just my husband. When I'm at work, yeah, we also get it from our bosses.

They sort of, we send them big, long business cases, and they'll just reply with a fine. No capital letters, no full stop. Just fine. You know what I love now, too, is the automatic reply function that can come up on Gmail or something. That's right. Whenever you get a sounds good to me exclamation mark,

you're like, this person has just put zero love into this reply. Exactly. Yeah. Well, I tell you what, this has been fine, Amanda. Thanks, yeah. Really appreciate your time. You're going to have a great day. No worries, you too.

See you. See you, mate. Carmen, welcome to the show. Thanks. Hi, good morning. Good to have you on. Sloppy comms on the partner front. Yeah. My husband is a lovely man, but he's rubbish at communication.

Let's talk through his strong points first before we get to his weak points. What do you love about him? He's very patient and kind and nothing's ever too much. He's very good like that. So he's got many good points. I love him already. Okay, but now let's focus on the negs. Well, to get any information out of him is like blood out of a stone. There was one particular incident that was extremely embarrassing for me. I rang my

mother-in-law and, you know, hi, how are you? And she said, oh, I'm getting better. I said, oh, you're not being well. I had a heart attack. Oh, jeez. What now? And so when I asked my husband, he said, oh, she was, you know, she was getting better.

She was all better, so it doesn't matter. I didn't think you needed to know. Well, and he was like, hey, I didn't need, I didn't want to bother you It was coming from a good place I didn't need you to worry I was like no I need to know those things please

Yeah I would say it's quite a major event In the family I appreciate your time Calvin Go and have a great day You too Producer Taylor Welcome

Thank you Very stressful morning, computer's not working I'm hearing all sorts of blasphemy coming out of the adjacent room here This is your soft girl era, you keep saying you're part of your soft girl era Not this morning, it's on hold, I can't do it, those computers out there That poor computer is going to go home and cry today Speaking of which though, you had a bit of an incident last night. Yeah, so as you know we wake up pretty early for

this job. So by the time it gets around the late afternoon dinner time area, I am absolutely gone, out of my mind. I'm so tired I've hit a wall. I don't want to do anything but to prepare for the next morning, after dinner I'll always make my

smoothie. They look disgusting too, by the way. They are disgusting. Yeah, it's more for health. They look like toxic waste. So you make that the night before for the morning? Yeah, I make that the night before so I can just come in here and drink and don't have to worry about breakfast.

And I tell my husband every single time, stop putting the blender lid on so tight because not everyone has strong wrists like you. He's a professional sports player. Exactly. He plays for the Warriors, right? I can't compete with that. Yeah.

So I went to go make this smoothie and I've stumbled across the blender lid that is so tightly put on the Nutribullet that I can't, I'm trying, I'm creating a rim around my palm because that's how tight the bloody lid was on. And I'm there for about 10 minutes. He had popped out to buy ice because he's icing his knee. And I'm there and I just started bursting in tears because I just wanted to go to bed, but I couldn't go to bed until I made the bloody smoothie.

Crying over the Nutribullet. At least it wasn't the spilt milk. Has anyone ever cried over spilt milk? I suppose if you owned a milk factory. Yeah, I bet someone at Fonterra might have. Like a big vat of milk fell over. That's millions of dollars of lost earnings. That would make me cry.

Yeah, it would. It would make me cry. So crying over not being able to. And so what was the result when Marcelo got home? Oh, when he got home, I absolutely blasted him. It's not a bloody competition is it mate how tight we can put the lid on the blender how does marcelo if we talk about marcelo uh in your personal life quite a lot on the radio is he cool with it yeah he doesn't

know he doesn't know okay we'll keep this quiet yeah okay so what have you yeah the pointless unnecessary thing you've ended up crying over i think now was there a part in the barbie movie that would have lent itself to me crying? Because I'm pretty sure I remember tearing up in the Barbie movie. Yeah, there was some,

yeah. There was something. Yeah, there's some emotions. And I had to like sit through the credits just to compose myself at the end. Yeah.

And the kids are like, can we go? And I'm like, no, I just want to see who the assistant camera operator was. I find that with some of the Pixar animated movies

as well. They really get you. There was always a heartfelt parent story and it's the loss of innocence and they go off and go to university and you're

like... I think that's why they have credits, just so you can put yourself together in darkness. Maybe there's going to be one of those ones

where they have a post-credits scene. Oh, they don't, but good, I've stopped. Dad, stop crying and go to the car. Get out to the mall again.

The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. We want to know this morning, the thing that you ended up crying over, I mean, it happens to everyone. It happened to producer Taylor yesterday. She was tired. She couldn't open the NutriBullet. Her husband, Marcelo, had tightened it too tight.

I mean, that happens. It does. You came in here crying once, and I don't think it was an emotional cry, but you had mis-fired the hand sanitizer, and you'd pumped down on the bottle, and for some reason it took a big dog leg, that squirt. Straight into my eye.

It was really burned. It burned my retina. And so, yeah, I came in here. You looked like you'd been sprayed with mace or something. It felt like that. It felt like that. Not that I have been sprayed with mace, but. Good.

I'm glad. You never want to boast that I have been sprayed with mace, but. Good. I'm glad. Yeah. You never want to boast that you've been sprayed with mace. But your eyes and beneath your eyes were quite red. Yeah. Just the whole area was very red. I know. And you always tell her, do I look like I've been crying?

Everyone's like, no, no. But you definitely do look like you've been crying. Victoria, we're going to get you on. Unnecessary cries. What happened to you? So my daughter, she has this bad habit of every time I ask her, have you got washing, she always says no. And so I'll do all the washing, and then I see her walking past the lounge,

and she's got like two baskets full of washing. And I'll go, I thought you said you had no washing. She goes, oh, I changed my mind and um so the other night I had done all the washing I didn't finish till two in the morning jeez you are committed to washing I know and but it's only there's only three of us in the house but um she came home from school yesterday and I said to her baby, have you got something wrong with you? and she goes, no, why? and I go because I just washed 18 pairs of knickers

I didn't expect that as a follow up is something wrong with you? no, sometimes I feel like the kids, it's a tactic they use and I use the same thing it's just like when you go to tidy your room it's like it's easy to put it in the washing pile then fold it fold it put it away you know yeah but mom and dad or whoever can deal with that we're going to send you out some hell pizza it sounds like you need it oh cool thank you all right you and your 18

pairs of knickers gonna have a great day appreciate Robin, you're on New Zealand's breakfast. Can you believe it? Oh, no, not really. Should I cry about it? Yeah, well, that would be unnecessary crying, wouldn't it? Yeah. What happened to you, mate? Oh, it's just one of those peeves, and it just really ticks me off.

I'm in a rental. I've got one of those glass top ovens, and it's the psychotic oven where it burns everything and it boils over and it just throws me at the walls and mine's more of a an angry cry oh so this is have you got like clean the damn thing a glass top oven sort of job yes it's one of those ceramic tops and it's got like satan's element and it always tries to burn everything and if if it doesn't burn it, it boils it over. Now, will that make you cry? Yeah. How often have you cried about that?

Well, it'll be once a week until it gets fixed. Oh, well, Robin, you're going to have a lovely day. Now, we've got Jack from Otorohonga. Jack's high risk, high reward. Every time we go to Jack, it can go one of two ways. Which way is it going to go today, Jack? Unnecessary crying. Oh, I think you already know which way it's going to go this morning.

But, I mean, it's not so much as me doing the unnecessary crying. It's my friends. So, not every time I talk to one of my friends, but quite frequently when I talk to my friends, they say, oh God, you're not still doing it, are you? And I go, yep. And they start crying.

There. What are you doing, Jack? Do I ask, are you? And I go, yep. And they start crying. There. What are you doing? Do I ask what are you doing? Still listening to the Hits morning show. But as they say, every cloud has a silver lining. I know that song's quite popular at the moment. It's called Something in the Orange.
