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
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?
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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
Hey
Legit
I'm here on legitimate business
What would be the
What would be the
Illegitimate business
People that you know
Sifting around
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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,
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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?
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.
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,
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
And I just couldn't explain myself, really.
Yeah.
Well, it's better than you doing it.
Yeah, well, that's true.
Yeah, definitely.
We're going to send you out some help.
Pete, so you have a great day, man.
Oh, cheers, Jono.
You're a man.
Thanks, mate.
Johan, how are you?
Yeah, is that me? Is that? That's you, Johan. You've got a funny photo. Thanks, mate. Johan, how are you? 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,
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
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.
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.
So I had my window down.
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

with 40% confidence
that I'm going to be able to
fulfil the task of
it's a handy
person's duty you know
and I did have the jumper leads
I did have the car had all the
skills and
he took his glasses off and he's like
sorry for my black eyes mate and I was like what's happening with your black eyes he's like, sorry for my black eyes, mate.
And I was like, what's happening with your black eyes?
He's like, bit of a scuffle earlier this morning.
Oh, jeez.
So I got in a scuffle.
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.
So I started the car.
My car was fine.
That was all connected up on the right one.
It wasn't quite focusing on his.
He was in his car.
He didn't know that.
And he's like Kind of went
He's like it's not starting
I was like mate
And then I went and checked
And I went oh dear god
Yeah
The guy with the black eyes
I've
Connected wrong things
To the wrong parts of the battery
And I went oh sorry man
There's not much more I can do
Can you swap them around though
No but I think I frizzled out
Oh
Did you actually
Oh
If the battery wasn't already
Oh right It definitely was at this point Yeah see I'm not Yeah Yeah but I think I frizzled out there oh did you actually if the battery wasn't already oh right

yeah
yeah
I'm guessing it's not a
call the AA situation
for that guy
I don't know if he would have
had an AA membership
no
wait for it
yeah
so then I
I was worried
because I was like
okay mate see you later
I've done everything I can do
good luck
and I came back
I drove past this morning
the car wasn't there oh that's good so I just moved on Good luck. And I came back, I drove past this morning.
The car wasn't there.
Oh, that's good.
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,
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
B-52's.
Loveshack.
Wow.
It's the guys singing there,
you know,
that can get great people
on the look.
You know,
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
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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,
welcome to the worst song ever.
Yeah, I had to vote for the song that I nominated,
so yes, definitely Baby Shark.
Oh, you nominated it, right.
Thank you.
Has this scarred you?
You've got PTSD, post-traumatic shark disorder,
from this being played by the kids in your household?
Oh, no, I don't have kids.
I just hate the song.
Oh, right.
These aren't even parents who have been affected by it.
I know it was on loop for about six months in our funny.
Right.
Yeah, well, we're looking at the text votes, Ben Boyce,
and I know you like to break things down into percentages.
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
I'm out round one
I think Si's happy
yeah
this is a really
fun part of the
show we've been
you know flicks his
fingers back through
the history books
don't you
yeah
take it
who says
is it Maroon 5
who says the
drinks bring back
all the memories
yeah they do
well in this instance
Ben brings back
all the memories
you've got to guess the year that the iconic bits of audio
we're about to play is from.
If you can get that year before Jono on 0800 THE HITS
or 4487 on the text, you'll win some Hell Pizza.
Thanks to our mates at Hell Pizza now delivering beer and wine.
The first ever episode of Shortland Street
happened this year.
New Zealand's longest running soap,
Dr. Ropita, Chris Warner,
Marge were all characters in the first episode.
Tim Morrison, Martin Henderson, Michael Galvin,
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?
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
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,
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.
They played at the
Logan Campbell Centre
in Auckland.
Kurt Cobain,
obviously there,
Dave Grohl,
and the other guy.
They were on stage. Chris Novosel the other guy. They're on stage.
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?
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
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.
Did they come here the same year it was released?
Donna, I'm sorry to tell you, you're wrong.
You're wrong.
Jono, you're right.
Well done.
Jono's right. The same year M was released? Donna, I'm sorry to tell you, you're wrong. You're wrong. Jono, you're right. Well done. Jono's right.
The same year Miley Cyrus was born.
She was born in Tennessee that year as well.
Franklin, Tennessee, 30 years of age.
She is now turning 31 this year.
Finally, I win some hell pizza.
You know what, Donna?
Yeah, what?
You know what, Donna?
I had lasagna inside a sandwich last night.
I don't need to double up with pizza tonight.
I'm going to give you the hell pizza, all right?
Thanks.
You have a great day.
That's awesome. Thank you.
