Starting point is 00:00:00 The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Thanks to Challenge, putting the service back into service stations. So Tuesday morning, Jono and Ben, stats have just come out. Kiwis missed 10 million days of work last year, the highest number in a decade. I think a total amongst Kiwis, an average of five days over the year per person. I'm guessing that's not allocated leave, like annual leave. I'm guessing that's not allocated leave, like annual leave. I'm guessing that's outside of that. But they do say on the positive side
Starting point is 00:00:28 that businesses are spending a lot more time investing in people's mental health and recognising duties of cares and telling people to have the day off if they need to. That's wonderful that businesses are doing that, but do you think businesses are like, oh, why do we have to do this?
Starting point is 00:00:41 Cost over $2 billion. Yeah. If I was business, I'd be like, oh, mate, just plow on, guys. Up from $1.8 billion in 2020, that's 2020 in the pandemic, it's gone up to $2.8 billion is how much it's cost by the amount of time that people have had off last year. It's, yeah, like I say, it's a wonderful thing for them
Starting point is 00:00:59 to be caring about mental health. But are people taking the piss is the question. You always think people are having a laugh. Well, that's a fine line. No, I don't always think people are having a laugh. Well, it's a fine line. No, I don't always think it, but it is a fine line. It is a fine line. Now, I've said before, Ben, I love carb loading. I'm a carb loader.
Starting point is 00:01:14 It's what all the athletes do. Well, you don't eat during the day, without a word of lie. So you probably do need to carb load because otherwise your body would be like, I need some food. Last night, I took a photo of this, my lasagna sandwich. So I've got lasagna inside a giant bread roll. Lasagna, they're already doing that with the carbs. And I just thought that was probably the nicest meal that I could ever have.
Starting point is 00:01:39 Lasagna sandwiches. Would you say lasagna is one of the nicest home meals you could have? If you're going to pick your top favorite home meal that Ben Boyce can cook. No. What is it? I wouldn't say it would be on the top. I do it, but I wouldn't say it. Like, I couldn't tell you the last time I had a lasagna at home.
Starting point is 00:01:55 When you do, you love it. Lasagna, garlic bread. Then you put all of it in bread. Sandwich it in bread. Are you having a salad with it? Oh, yeah, I had a little bit of salad. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Balanced it out somewhat.
Starting point is 00:02:06 So my body didn't have to push through just meat and bread. That's nice. Don't get me wrong. But I wouldn't say it was. Yeah, it wouldn't be my top 10 of meals. I don't know what the top 10 is. I haven't had time to think about this. Okay, well, what would you go for?
Starting point is 00:02:18 Okay, a country's cuisine. Your favorite cuisine in general. I'm going to put the Italians. Taylor, you guys have, producer Taylor, you got this locked down, the Italians. It's Mexican for me.
Starting point is 00:02:28 It'll be Mexican. Well, Mexican's bloody good. Can I change it to Mexican? Yeah. Because I feel like, yeah, like I love Italian, but I feel like Mexican, you're probably getting
Starting point is 00:02:37 a bit more of the healthiest stuff through, you know. Oh, you do like the healthy options. You're putting lettuce, you're putting tomatoes, you're putting avocado, you're putting all that sort of stuff in wraps and fish wraps and tacos and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:02:46 Taylor's offended. She's got her mouth hanging down. I'm not saying it's not bad, Producer Taylor. I'm not saying. Taylor's walking in with her clogged colon here. Sorry, the Mediterranean diet is actually very healthy. Oh, hey, I'm not saying. And avocado, very high in fat, just quietly.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Oh, yeah, but it's a good fat. Ever since it's a good fat. Nothing's good when it's excess amount of calories. Right. So, Ben Boyce, here we go, offending an entire nation. Yeah. No, Taylor, wonderful, wonderful cuisine. Tell you what, do love the Indian too.
Starting point is 00:03:15 Yeah. That's a good cuisine. Producer Joel wants to chime in with this because we call him Joel. His surname's Harrison. We call him Hungry Hungry Harrison. Always eating. I was just saying, nothing gets Taylor More annoyed When I mix up cuisines Like put a bit of
Starting point is 00:03:26 Mexican in the Italian Put a bit of Butter chicken on a pizza I can see how that You put butter chicken On a pizza Look at her She's bloody
Starting point is 00:03:31 She hates it He's combining them Well that's a good way To get the best of all They do have tandoori pizzas And stuff don't they Yeah Traditional Italian
Starting point is 00:03:38 I think the one is actually I love how we've Bastardised the sushi Here in New Zealand Oh yeah With bacon and egg sushi Yeah Bacon and egg sushi I've never seen Anywhere else I love how we've bastardised the sushi here in New Zealand. Oh, yeah. Bacon and egg sushi. Yeah. I've never seen anywhere else.
Starting point is 00:03:49 Send through on the text, 4487. Can you get chicken sushi anywhere else? Maybe outside of New Zealand, Australia. Have we just done that ourselves? I don't know. I haven't seen it. I went to Japan. I didn't see it.
Starting point is 00:04:01 But maybe I went to the wrong place. I hadn't seen it in America. I just feel like we've really put some we're like, we'll put some chicken. We'll put some avocado in there. I can't wait till we do steak and sausage sushi. Yeah. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Now in the weekend, we're headed to the mall.
Starting point is 00:04:17 We had to get a few things, you know, a list of a few things I needed to do. So I was like, hey, let's get it all done at the mall. And then when I went, I was about to leave, my wife was like, hey, can you pick me up this sports bra that she wanted from this particular store? It's in the mall, the shop. I'm like, yeah, no worries, I could do that. And as I went into the mall to pick up the thing,
Starting point is 00:04:36 that's when you kind of go, oh, a lone guy going into those stores. There's always an interesting experience. What are we talking, was it bras and things? Yeah, one of those types of shops. I are we talking Was it bras and things Yeah like one of those Types of shops I've been alone in a bras And things before But I'm like
Starting point is 00:04:49 Hey Legit I'm here on legitimate business What would be the What would be the Illegitimate business People that you know Sifting around
Starting point is 00:04:57 And stuff like that If I'm a sifter I'm not going to go Might do 10 minutes In bras and things You know Where else are you going to go, oh, might do 10 minutes of browsing things. You know? Where else are you going to go? The bloody internet, mate.
Starting point is 00:05:07 Oh, right. Okay. It's a whole wide world of sifting available. I don't know why it feels like one of those occasions where I'm like, hey, I'll go on. And I went to the place where I thought that they were going to be and there wasn't that particular size. So I went up to the lady at the counter and she was like,
Starting point is 00:05:21 oh, there might be one on the mannequin up towards the front of the particular thing i think it's over there can you go check i was kind of like well i don't really want i've had that happen to me in the past before where i told you about where i had to get a top off a mannequin in the store yeah undressed a mannequin and it was very weird a friend was actually in the store at the time going oh hey ben how you doing as you're sort of are you worried that someone will cancel you for undressing a mannequin? No, but it – Every time I walk past a naked mannequin, I feel like, oh, someone give them some dignity.
Starting point is 00:05:51 It just feels weird. It does feel weird to take clothing, even though it's not a real person. So I went up to the mannequin, and I had a look at the back of the bra, and I was like, oh, no, that is the size, that's the one. And then I was like, oh, am I going to be the guy that's going to unhook this thing or get this off the inner did you well i i sort of thought what's my options here i sort of looked down towards the front of the store where the the lady was working i was sort of like kind of wave and get her to come over she wasn't she was busy with customers and i was like there's only one option here well there's two options one take it
Starting point is 00:06:22 off but i've done that before i'm not going to do it. Second one, pick up the mannequin and walk it to the front of the store. Can I check out a third? Yeah. Leave the store? Well, yeah, I probably should have. And say, hey, can you go in and grab it yourself? Yeah, I should have actually
Starting point is 00:06:36 because in hindsight, walking a mannequin, like picking it up and walking it, it's quite, you know, the bottom of it sort of falls off. And they're quite weighty. And then you look like you're trying to make off with a mannequin. Yeah. Did you pick it up? Yeah, I picked it up and I took it to the store and said,
Starting point is 00:06:51 hey, can I have this bra from the thing? And the lady's looking at me like, why would you take this mannequin to the front of the store? And in my head, I didn't want to tell her, well, last time I undressed the mannequin, it was a little awkward. I should have just, you're right, I should have just left the store. Jeez, if he gets this fumbly around frozen plastic woman imagine what i'm like around well woman that's for sure you can't even say real woman
Starting point is 00:07:12 the hits the jonathan ben podcast yesterday i was uh was speaking to someone who uh many many years ago was in the uk and um got fired from a job, which I imagine which happens. And the person was like, yeah, I was hungover, which wasn't great, and turned up to work hungover. And I'm like, okay, that's maybe a reasonable excuse to be hungover. But then he explained the job. Now, he's an actor, and he was saying this particular job, he didn't even really – wasn't required to act.
Starting point is 00:07:43 He was a hand model. In the film, he basically had to pick up a bag and place it over there like it was just his hands that were acting was it a commercial it was a commercial like a tv commercial was it a job for hands yes it was i don't know what you're gonna i know you need to go and everyone can connect those dots right now um but yes yeah so he was just like picking up a thing but he was like i was so hung over that i just couldn't and then i got my own head because the director got a bit snappy with me. He was like, you're not picking it up properly. You need to pick it up more like this. He couldn't even hand it.
Starting point is 00:08:11 And he went to do it many times until the point the director got so frustrated that he fired him, sent him home, and the director's like, I'll just do it anyway. It's like you got fired from a job that you didn't even have to, like. You just had to use your head. You just had to pick something up. He's like, in hindsight, it was the easiest job ever but i just got into it so my own head you know when you think about walking and you're suddenly like how do i walk you know it's probably one of those occasions yeah you start walking like all of your limbs aren't connected you think about
Starting point is 00:08:36 breathing and then the thing you're like oh i'm breathing i'm good you know it was something you just do every day without thinking oh sometimes i get into a bit of a hole in my head where you start thinking about your tongue and the more you think about your tongue the more it becomes, it kind of ends up hanging out of your mouth, you don't know what to do with it. Where does that normally go when I'm talking? Just don't think about it, or else it ends
Starting point is 00:08:56 up doing odd things that you can't control. Did the director do some good hand work? Well I don't know, he said it was hard but apparently he's like, I'll do it myself. He got really angry. It feels like an obscene amount of money paying someone to just pick something up with their hand.
Starting point is 00:09:12 We did an Uber Eats commercial. Yeah, this is what I was telling them about. When a person would come over and was the hand in the air passing over the Uber Eats. Who's the hand actor? He's flown in from Australia. Some of the best hands you've ever seen, though. They were good hands. Couldn't be a Kiwi hand. No no you couldn't be a kiwi hand hardworking kiwi hands
Starting point is 00:09:28 he's coming over here stealing all of our hand gigs well done what up and i'll tell you what i don't want to say i know what you wanted to say and i'm refraining you don't really want to dance around sometimes i find that's funnier yeah because everyone knows because everyone knows and we're like oh he's you know I'm enjoying that okay don't do the hits this is what we want to
Starting point is 00:09:48 chuck out there you want to say the funniest reason you've been fired from a job funniest firings after someone I was talking to got fired
Starting point is 00:09:55 an actor all they had to do was pick up a bag and they couldn't do it just their hands and shot and apparently was so hungover
Starting point is 00:10:01 got inside their own head and then the director sent them home yeah because you'd be driving home going, you pick up things every day. Come on. Why could I not just pick that up?
Starting point is 00:10:10 Maisie, was it you that got the firing? No, no, no. So my best friend's brother, he got fired after three days of working at a fish and chip shop because he couldn't fold the fish and chips properly. Well, to be fair to the fish and chip shop proprietor, three days is enough time to get your head around it, isn't it? He just couldn't, because it's quite an ass.
Starting point is 00:10:31 I can imagine. It's a bit of a fold and tuck situation. Yeah, but I was like, I don't know, maybe three days I'll nail it, but he obviously couldn't. Oh, nah, he could not do it. How was he doing it? Was he just kind of rolling it up and scrunching? I think he just put the chips on, taped it together,
Starting point is 00:10:48 and then just gave it to the customers. Well, I mean, that's the other thing. It's got the extra security of the tape. Just wrap another... Couple of rolls, a couple of layers, laps of tape around it. Could not handle the pressure of a fish and chip shop, peak hours, you know?
Starting point is 00:11:01 You go in there between sort of 5 and 8 on a Friday or Saturday night. Those guys, they're non-stop. There's a lot going on. They're cranking those out, aren't they? Yeah. Thanks for your call, mate. I do appreciate it. Thanks for having me. Let's get Daniel on. Funny firings. Daniel, what happened? Oh, g'day.
Starting point is 00:11:18 So, I just started work maybe about two weeks ago. This was eight years ago at my old company. And I just bought a new puppy, Labrador. Yeah. And so I couldn't leave her at home.
Starting point is 00:11:34 I had to bring her into work. And she just decided to jump up on my boss's laptop and piss on his new MacBook Air. Oh, no. Oh. Cute, but not so cute in that moment. And not your, like, what do you say in that situation?
Starting point is 00:11:51 Oh, well, I wasn't there in the room, but my boss was. He just came back to my dog, literally just standing there. Oh, jeez. And he's like, well, that's the last we're going to see of you today. Yeah. And tomorrow. On my 90-day trial, last we're going to see of you today. Yeah. And tomorrow. On my 90-day trial, I was so embarrassed. Oh, you were.

Yeah, is that me, is it? That's you, Johan. You've got a funny photo. Yeah, yeah. Oh, probably about 15 years ago, 20 years ago when I was back at school,
Starting point is 00:12:33 me and a mate were working at New World just a couple of days a week. And then one night we got told we had to restack the fruit and veggies and it was just coming up to closing anyway. We thought it would be funny to roll the watermelons down the uh down the island and make try not to hit the edges um anyway so that was all right we did that for a bit then put them on the shelf which we probably shouldn't have done anyway like two days later we go back to work um and we just across the speaker it's like can johan and amueta please come up to my office oh must be in the pay rise all that great shelving work we did yeah yeah and then uh we get up there and he's just like
Starting point is 00:13:14 can you guys um tell me what you're doing here and yeah just like he's got the camera there we're just red-handed we're just like oh you saw that's us can you hear that it's just like, we're like real apologetic. And he was just like, look, I think you guys just don't worry about coming back to work again. And so, yeah, that was my first job. And unfortunately, yeah, I haven't been working at a supermarket since. Yeah, to be fair to you, it sounds like a really fun game, rolling watermelons down the aisle, not trying to hit the side.
Starting point is 00:13:42 But CCTV, it'll always get you in the end. It always gets you in the end, yeah. Hey, good on you, Johan. Really appreciate you listening. Cheers, eh? The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. Yesterday, Ben, I was driving past a person who was broken down on the side of the road, and it was a quiet street that had speed bumps.

And I had to slow down to a point where you couldn't avoid the person asking for help right you know they're like hey mate have you got jumper like three meters away and there's no way i could just keep driving on sorry what's that mate i just can't hear you sorry buddy yeah i was going about seven k's an hour so i was like yes i will try and help now in these moments I go in with 40% confidence that I'm going to be able to

So I'm like, oh dear God, I've got to start this guy's car. He's a scuffler. You know, I don't want to let him down. And then to the point where I connected the black to the red and the red to the black to the positive on his battery.

Starting point is 00:16:07 So I just moved on. Well, I do remember you helping out and then I ended up helping out as well when we were doing some filming one night. A lady couldn't get her tyre off. That's right. You're like, you know, I could do this. And then after about 15, 20 minutes of you grunting and all sweating and all that, you're like,
Starting point is 00:16:23 I'll tell you what, I can't do this. It's like, I can't, I can can't It was one of the wheel nuts or something would not come off, eh? Yeah, no, I'd screwed it up because she'd run over the curve, that's right, and she had a flat tyre and I had somehow cross-threaded the bolt onto
Starting point is 00:16:40 the... So we're coming along going, yeah, I'll help to go, oh look, sorry, there's nothing else I can do We'll have good luck with that. And then she's like 10 minutes into it, she's yeah, I'll help to go. Oh, look, sorry, there's nothing else I can do. Well, good luck with that. And then she's like 10 minutes into it, she's like, oh, call a friend. It's just down the road. He turned up
Starting point is 00:16:49 and the first thing he's like, he's like, what have you done? He's like, what have you done here? I was like, oh, I'm just trying to get the wheel off, mate. Good luck with that. And then we left.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Then we left. So a good habit of just deserting people around town in their hour of need. The head's worst song ever. The worst song ever. Yeah, so what do you think is the worst song?
Starting point is 00:17:10 So this time you're not voting for the song that you like out of the two of them. You're voting for the worst song. Now, we put it on our Facebook page. As well as checking out on the text yesterday, a lot of people throwing some suggestions around what they think of the worst song ever. Someone said, throw a dart at all the songs, and songs were in quotation marks, on Jono and Ben at 10.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Oh, like all of our parody songs. Oh, yeah, listen, that's an absolutely fair call. Neither of us could sing. Poor Jamie, our producer, had to auto-tune our voices too. He was pulling his hair out. He's got no hair left now. I know, there's a lot of hair left now. Yeah. I know. There's a lot of votes
Starting point is 00:17:46 coming through as well. Crazy Frog. Crazy. Pictures a few times so I'm sure that will be up for the best song ever but then there's a few ones that may be a bit more unusual.
Starting point is 00:17:56 B-52's. Loveshack. Wow. It's the guys singing there, you know, that can get great people on the look. You know,
Starting point is 00:18:06 he's a merchant He was quite He was very theatrical I imagine when they came With the recording They'll be like Is he going to do it like that The whole time
Starting point is 00:18:15 Yeah Yes I am I'm going to sing Like this Shall we just do One more Although he's still doing it Is this
Starting point is 00:18:23 I guess so I guess we'll have to release it When it. Is this? I guess so. I guess we'll have to release it. When are we releasing this song? I think we should put that through as one of the worst songs ever. See, up to you guys. And Adele got a few votes as well. So she might feature in some of the worst songs ever as well. But today's battle, and remember, you are voting for which of the two is the worst song,
Starting point is 00:18:44 not your favourite, which is the worst song. Here is today's round. The head's worst song ever. Round one. Song one. Gangnam Style. Oh, Gangnam Style. And it's South Korea versus South Korea.
Starting point is 00:19:00 Both from South Korea. Both artists. Now, I was reading into Psy from Gangnam Style. Did you know, obviously, successful song, first video to have over a billion views on YouTube, and Baby Shark also now holds the record, I think, of the most views on YouTube as well for a video. Right.
Starting point is 00:19:24 Or at one stage held the record for the most views, 7 billion. That's pretty much one view for every person on the earth had watched the Baby Shark video. But there was a belief that size, gangnam style, once it reached a billion views on YouTube, it was going to be the end of the world because it timed with December 21, 2012 when Nostradamus predicted the end of the world. And Nostradamus' wild claims were from the calm of the
Starting point is 00:19:54 morning, the end of the world will come from a dancing horse. Oh, and that was the dance mode? The dancing horse. And South Korea is known as the land of the calm. I don't know what North Korea is known as. The land of the shamb I don't know what North Korea is known as. The land of the shambles. But yeah, there we go.
Starting point is 00:20:09 And it turned out it wasn't the end of the world. What do you know? But is it the end of a sigh in this competition? We're in the middle of our own illegal competition. Is it legal? No, it's not really illegal. It sounds a lot cooler. And we get a lot more credit if you say it is illegal.
Starting point is 00:20:23 Unsanctioned. Unsanctioned. How's that better? Yeah, so the sanctioned best song ever happening again after 8 o'clock this morning. But do if you say it is illegal. Unsanctioned. Unsanctioned. How's that better? Yeah, that's good as well. Yeah, so the sanctioned best song ever happening again after 8 o'clock this morning. But do you know what? It is also sanctioned because we did tell our boss, Matt and Harry. And he's kind of like, hey, you do what you want. You want to do it.
Starting point is 00:20:34 So we are doing the worst song ever. The head's worst song ever. The worst song ever. We'll get that recorded properly. Yeah, now you vote for what you think is the worst song of all time and we'll play in entirety at the end of the competition the worst song ever. Because we can't, as we said yesterday,
Starting point is 00:20:51 we can't go through acknowledging the best without paying respects to the worst. That's why they are the best, the best songs, because there's worse ones. Here is the round this morning. The hit's worst song ever. Round one. Song one. Gangnam Style. Psy's worst song ever. Round one. Song one.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Gangnam Style. Psy, Gangnam Style. Song two. And Pinkfong, Baby Shark. Now, I know we mock these types of songs. No, please, also on a side note too, none of us should tell the artists. We don't want to hurt their feelings. No.
Starting point is 00:21:23 Okay? Well, hey, Baby Shark, I don't think the artists are picked for it. They wouldn't be worried. Do you know, according to an estimate, they earn $283,000 a month on Baby Shark. And it would have made $22 million from the song. On royalties? Yeah, and that's from views alone on YouTube, they reckon. So that's just one part of it.
Starting point is 00:21:44 Now they've got merch and everything. I don't think they care. They'll be like, whatever, you can call us. We just made, I'd happily take $22 million, you know, and be responsible for a song that everyone thinks is the worst song ever. Absolutely. Good on them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:58 And Cam, you want to put a vote in for Baby Shark? Definitely, lads. It's so annoying. It is annoying. Why does it hurt so much? Why does it cut so deep? It just squeezes through my ears, into my brain. Has it been a soundtrack of your household?
Starting point is 00:22:18 Pardon? Has it been the soundtrack of your household? Definitely not. No kids playing it? No, it's not allowed in my house. All right, banished from Cameron's household. One vote for Baby Shark. Margaret in Wellington,

Right. Yeah, well, we're looking at the text votes, Ben Boyce, and I know you like to break things down into percentages.
Starting point is 00:23:04 Yeah, yeah. Well, it's pretty much, I haven't seen a single vote for Si getting himself, so I'd say 100% of the votes. 100% of the votes. Baby Shark is the winner of this round of the worst song ever going through. Could this be the song we have to play in entirety? It's a competition that you... Now, do we offer condolences to Si or is Si like oh good I'm out

Tim Morrison, Martin Henderson, Michael Galvin,
Starting point is 00:24:12 all part of episode one, and this iconic line was mentioned. Anything is too dangerous. Not if you know what you're doing. You're not in Guatemala now, Dr. Ropita. If something goes wrong, we could all be in trouble. This clinic could lose its license. Yeah, he was a renegade doctor. What was he up to in Guatemala?
Starting point is 00:24:28 I don't know. I guess stuff that wasn't, you know, wasn't sanctioned. No antiseptic or anything. There was a pregnant young lady on the scene and he was like, leave me to it. I'll go in there and sort it out. And they're like, you can't just burst in here and do it. And he's like, you know, yeah, so that's where it all that scene came from. In Guatemala, he was
Starting point is 00:24:44 just birthing babies all over the studio. He was bursting in. So that was the first episode. Short on the street, still going today. Okay, Donna's already phoned up. Okay,
Starting point is 00:24:51 can I play one more bit of audio just to make sure? Yeah. Okay, Nirvana, their only ever New Zealand concert was in this year.

Starting point is 00:25:06 Chris Novoselic? Yeah, they're on... He's now a bloody politician. Yeah, he's had a real career change, hasn't he? And Kurt Cobain, if you can listen to this audio, it's a little scratchy because it was recorded... In 1992. Well, is it 1992?
Starting point is 00:25:18 We'll find out. Is that your guess? Yes. Okay, that's your guess. Well, yeah, but this is Kurt Cobain talking about a record store in auckland he kind of forgets the name of real groovy but he gives it a shout out groovy something man he's like go buy the record at groovy something man
Starting point is 00:25:37 so john i say 1992 i'm locking in 92 because it was obviously passed away in 94. Yeah, yeah. And then I'm factoring in Shortland Street's anniversary. So we'll go to Donna. What do you think? Yeah, hi. What are you saying, Donna? I reckon around 91. 91. Well, that was the same year Nevermind was released.
