The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Thanks to Challenge, putting the service back into service stations.
Cheaper Tuesdays.
Yeah, we got the cheapest car last week, didn't we?
The one that was sort of like $70 or something. Still going as well.
I know.
Ten years later, a Toyota. Still charging on. Found $2 coffees a few weeks ago in Christchurch.
Found the cheapest lunch and breakfast around the country today. checked this one out there yesterday Ben the cheapest house houses yeah now
maybe this won't be this current generation this might be um you know your parents or even your
grandparents that Joel you and your friends you won't even own a house will you looking on track
for 65 years old to get my first property so so it should be good. $958,000 is the average property, the nationwide average at the moment.
But it has dropped by a bit because houses are cheaper because no one's got any money.
How cheap did you get your house for?
Now, this could be your parents, your grandparents back in the day looking 1960s,
the average house price, $6,500.
But all relative to the average income was average house price, $6,500. But all relative, so the average income
was the hourly wage, $1.05.
So it's all relative.
Yeah.
Talking about three years on average
to pay your house off back then.
It's funny how, you know, even when we were kids,
a million dollars was, whoa, a million, you know,
and how, you know, like we're just talking
about an average house in New Zealand,
the average being just under a million dollars.
Now, a million dollars.
Now a million dollars will get you a cardboard box in Central Auckland.
Yeah.
I do remember because I was working when we bought our house and my wife had to go along to the auction, took a friend of ours along.
He went along with her like there were a couple buying a house together.
That's weird.
Where were you?
I had work to do.
I was actually filming, without a word of a lie,
some very like – it was a very sketchy scene that my wife was like, okay, because she was working with us at the time, going good luck with that. I was actually filming, without a word of a lie, some very, like, it was a very sketchy scene
that my wife was like, okay,
because she was working with us at the time,
going, good luck with that.
It was just, yeah.
Anyway.
You're like, I should be an adult
and be in an auction right now.
But I wasn't.
I was like, you know me,
my commitment to lowbrow comedy,
I'm here for this.
And yeah, she gave me a call afterwards.
She's like, I've got the house.
I'm like, great, just tell me the price.
Got the house.
I'm like, just tell me the price.
I was like, anyone can get the house.
You've just got to be the last bidder. Just tell me the price. But house I'm like just tell me the price I was like anyone can get the house you've just got to be the last bidder
just tell me the price
but fortunately it did come within our budget at the time
she's like listen mate
you're in your underpants
being shot by a paintball gun right now
pretty much
yeah
so 0800 the hits
cheaper Tuesdays
I imagine we're going to get a lot of real estate agents phoning up
G'day Sue Davenport here
I've got a beautiful little three bedder on offer
this is not a platform for real estate agents to come in with their affordable houses at the moment.
Cheapest houses, maybe it was you, your parents, your grandparents.
How cheap can we get for Cheap Tuesday?
The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
Because it's a Tuesday, we like to do Cheap Tuesdays.
And we give you a category and you give us a call under the hits and tell us what the cheapest item that you've had in that category
today. It's housing. Yeah, cheapest
house. I'm sure there's some place in Invercargill that
was bought for a box of beers and a punch
in the throat or something. Probably. Back in the
day. And for donkeys
and packs of cigarettes, you would have
just done some bartering back in the day. I don't know
why you'd have a donkey and a pack of cigarettes for a house
but you know, items would have been traded.
No cash at passing over hands.
Ken, you're on from the Manawatu.
Good morning.
Welcome.
Cheaper Tuesday.
Yeah, so no neck punch or beers.
My parents built a house in 82.
Costed 30 grand.
It's about 240 square metres.
$30,000.
1982 doesn't seem that long ago,
but then when you think back to it,
it's a while now.
Yeah, 40 years.
Wow.
But then the relative, again,
you probably like money-wise,
that was probably a decent amount of money back then.
Yeah, 100%.
But now we're like,
$30,000.
Ken, thank you.
We're going to get Jade on.
I should have gone to Jade first, actually.
Apparently she's manic this morning.
Welcome, Jade.
You're running a busy operation on Tuesday.
Sort of, yeah.
I'm at work at the moment.
Well, thank you for taking time out of work.
The cheapest house, that's what we're doing for Cheaper Tuesday.
Yeah.
Well, my mum, she bought her house,
she would have been like 28 or so back in the 89, I think,
and 55 grand.
55,000 dollars.
Where was it?
It's in Gisborne.
Gisborne, yeah, it's a beautiful part of the country.
Does she still have the house now or has she sold it?
Yeah, she's still living in it and she only just last year paid it off so it's taken
all those years to pay off $55,000.
But I imagine now, you don't need to say exactly what it's worth, but I imagine it's worth
quite a lot more than that. Yeah, she's had it valued a couple of times
and it could be up in the, like I don't know exactly right now, but it could be
over $400,000 now. Yeah, now, but it could be over 400 grand now.
Yeah, good.
A great amount of profit over time.
Yeah, wonderful.
Thank you so much, Jade.
You're going to have a wonderful day at work.
Just looking on the text, we put a message on Facebook as well,
at the Hits Breakfast on Facebook.
My friends bought the old maternity hospital in Karamea for $10,000
20 years ago.
It's an entire hospital for 10,000.
Even 20 years ago. It's an entire hospital. For 10,000. It's even 20 years ago.
It's 2002.
Yeah, very cheap.
Yeah.
A frightening hospital.
A $10,000 hospital.
What's wrong with the place?
I'm glad they shut it down.
Another one here.
Oh, my dad.
Oh, sorry, my dad's parents.
My grandparents bought their place for $15,000.
Listen, times have changed.
Yeah.
Okay.
And like you say, Ben, to make ourselves feel better,
we just keep putting the word relative into conversation.
But still relative.
Still $15,000.
Jeez.
Spilling the tea on Hollywood's A-listers.
Kardashians.
I have met every single one.
Exposing scandals.
She's not a good person, but either is he.
Digging the dirt.
Is she a diva?
Yes.
And finding out what's
going on behind the scenes yelling at cast members yes it was a script no his identity is a secret
but his stories have been proven right time and time again this is if you don't like hearing people
babble on about monotonous celebrity stories for three minutes then uh you might want to find
somewhere else brief momentarily come on down from Hollywood.
How are you?
Is it mindless, though?
Not all of it.
Not all of it.
No, you're right.
Yeah.
You actually bring some credibility to the show.
It would probably be mindless if it was just Ben and me babbling on.
Yeah.
But you're right, Ben.
We do have a level of distinction with the N.D. each week.
How have you been?
I've been great.
How about you guys?
Yeah, we're doing all right.
Now, I wanted to ask you, McCoolie Culkin,
we're getting into Christmas and Home Alone,
such a great Christmas classic,
but he got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,
which Kiwis will know because you go over there,
if you go to LA, they're all over the streets.
But how do people get one of those?
Because sometimes when you're walking down there,
you're like, oh, this person's got them.
Yeah, so basically you nominate somebody and you can, like you, you guys, John O'Benn, you guys couldn down there you're like oh this person's got them yeah so basically you nominate somebody and you can like you you guys john o ben you guys couldn't you know nominate
your buddy jason momoa right yeah yeah you're allowed to you know but he has to give um like
he'll have to agree to it or whatever but you guys can nominate him you pay the 250 bucks and then
they decide once a year in june who the 30 or so people are going to be.
And then if they say, yes, Jason's going to do it, then you, Jono and Ben got to come up with 75
grand. 75 grand. Hey, well, how come he's paying 250 or someone else and now we're paying 75 grand.
And here's the thing you guys is that, and it wasn't that long ago that it was 20 grand and
it wasn't that long ago, it was 10 grand.000, and it wasn't that long ago it was $10,000.
The cost of materials has not gone up.
This is a huge moneymaker.
It's a massive amount of money that it makes.
That is crazy.
So you're paying for, obviously, the installation.
Is it gold?
Is it a gold plaque, the star?
No, it's just brass.
So who would pay, for argument's sake, Macaulay Culkin, like we said,
who do you think would be paying the $75,000 for that?
Him or someone else?
Probably him.
I think that sometimes agents pay, and they don't usually say no.
If it's a decent enough star, they want people to come out, right?
They want people to come out to the ceremony and things like that.
And what was funny about the Macaulay Culkin was, is nobody's really heard him speak
in a lot of years. And his voice sounds exactly like it did
when he played Kevin McCallum. Hey, look, when you haven't seen him
too for a number of years, you're like, he still looks like the kid from
Home Alone, except older. And I guess that's what happens when you become an adult.
Exactly who he is, and that's who he looks like you're right if you've ever done it most of the time you have no idea who the stars are once you start going a couple blocks away it's like okay
yeah we've walked a couple blocks of and you know a lot of people we don't know so let's just give
it up and and the other thing that always fascinates me is the number of people that, let's say, urinate on the sidewalk.
And then invariably the day of the ceremony, the celebrity will lay down on the sidewalk on their star.
We would be, if we were ever to pay $75,000, we'd definitely be down the sort of the heroin needle.
Yeah, side street. Defec the sort of the heroin needle yeah side street
yeah
defecating sort of
end of Hollywood
yes
hey NT
really thank you so much
for your time
lovely talking with you
and we will catch up
this time next week
Ben and we've been
talking about the
parking tickets
for a number of weeks
haven't we
finally paid them all off
this was paid
knocked them all off
debt free
debt free
wow
clear conscience parking tickets bus lane tickets speeding tickets you name it haven't we? Finally paid them all off. Okay. This was paid. Knocked them all off. Debt free. Debt free. Wow. Clear conscience.
For the council.
Parking tickets, bus lane tickets, speeding tickets, you name it.
They had all really backlogged over a two-week period in and around my birthday.
Yeah.
Monster, monster of a council sending those on your birthday.
And I depleted the old bank account in doing so.
So just through automatic reflex, all of this week when i'm
going to do a transaction you pull out your at your f-post card swipe it put the pin in and
it's declining now what i've experienced through and it's just because i forget that there's no
money on the the card is different approaches to telling you your cards declined declined. Oh, from the people in the stores.
From the people behind the counter.
Sometimes you get the aggressive, like, particularly
if it's Pack and Save, for example,
they've filled up your trolley and you swipe the
card and there's a bit of frustration there from
them. You've declined. Which seems
they get on the
I had an experience on
the weekend, got on the intercom.
Can we have the store manager over here?
We've got a declined card.
Why did they get someone up there?
Because she didn't know how to redo the transaction.
And it was one of those moments where I was like,
please be this one of those social media videos with the person next to you.
He's like, I've got it, mate.
No, they were too busy, caught up.
It's cost a living.
Yeah, exactly.
Going around shouting people shopping, are you?
So then that was a very public shaming.
Yesterday at the cafe, went across and got us some coffees.
Did the same thing.
Walked, swiped, walked away, thinking all was well, sat down,
and then she actually came out from behind the counter,
looked to both sides and didn't want to cause a scene.
And was like, just so you know, your card's declined.
Ah, yeah.
So having to pull out the credit card,
the emergency credit card in those situations.
So I was like, how bare am I?
How low is the account?
Because I've been trying to just do
even like a $3 sandwich yesterday on the way home.
Sometimes it feels like they can give you a little bit,
and then for no rhyme or reason,
it's like, nah, you're cut off.
I'm sitting on 0.001 cent.
One cent in the double O.
I don't think I've ever cut anything so close.
You couldn't get any closer.
Can you?
No.
Then the old unarranged overdrafts sometimes,
which I had to shut off because they start charging you
if you go into unarranged overdraft fees.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
That's the thing where you haven't said you wanted it.
Unarranged will help you out,
charge you 20 bucks every time you use this facility.
So you're running on one cent, baby.
Well, good luck with that.
Right into Christmas, the thrill of it.
Jonas Internet Wormhole.
Got lost on the internet again.
And a lot of stuff about Christmas is popping up on the old windows
down the side.
33 mind-blowing facts
about Christmas.
Now Christmas has
been around a long
time so it's going to
take a lot for our
minds to be blind.
Christmas movies that
don't stack up these
days.
As in tonally?
Yeah well ones that
have moments, Love
Actually, things like
that.
What happened in
Love Actually?
Oh there's a lot of
fat shaming of the
you know she's the
chubby girl, the
such and such.
They're all about how someone has a, like, basically, you know, like sexual harassment of, you know, as well.
You know, things like that.
There's a few little moments and things like those sort of movies that you watch again now and you go, oh.
Oh, because I suppose he was the prime minister.
Well, they're that and I think someone else as well.
Yeah.
And they keep calling her the chubby girl.
She's like, she's not. You know, like, oh, that, and I think someone else as well, and they keep calling her the chubby girl. She's like, she's not.
I'm like, oh, that's a good laugh.
I think the guy who wrote it, who is a Kiwi,
has now apologised and said, his kids pulled him up on a...
Mate, you can't call people chubby.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry I shouldn't have.
It was the time.
So, yeah, that's another one as well.
Yeah, well, I don't even got lost in movies that don't stack up.
I am yesterday.
I went through some of them.
Love, I wouldn't have picked anything from Love Actually,
but now you say it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now,
facts about Christmas
that will blow your mind.
These are,
I'm going to front foot it
and say,
these are probably facts
where you go,
oh yeah,
that makes sense.
Right.
Okay,
not mind-blowing facts
because there's nothing
too crazy about Christmas
at the end of the day,
but Christmas cards,
did you know, were invented by the person who invented the post shop or the postal service in 1843.
Of course it was.
So exactly.
The guy's like, man, I need to get some business rolling.
And so he's like, hey, cards, these are a thing.
You've got to send them.
If you don't send them to someone that you love, it means you don't love them.
Got the business rolling.
Smart play.
Smart play.
Smart play. That play. Smart play.
That stacks up.
That stacks up at 23.
The biggest Christmas gift in history, Statue of Liberty,
was given by the French to the Americans in 1843.
There's multiple ones around the world too.
Multiple Statues of Liberty.
She's a lovely, lovely gesture gesture But That's a lot of present
Isn't it
Oh thanks for this
Giant statue
Where do we put it
What do we do with it
Put it up
Oh you put it over
Take it on a boat
It's taken months
To get here
You do have
It's an obligation
Put it up
If you don't like it
You've got to put it up
Or like when the French
Come round
Get the Statue of Liberty out
Put it up
Yeah
Jingle bells
The first Christmas song
In space Does that surprise you Someone sung it Or they just played it Put it up, yeah. It was Jingle Bells, the first Christmas song in space.
Did that surprise you?
What?
Someone sung it or they just played it in space?
They just played it up in space.
Yeah, that's not a mind-blowing one.
Christmas pudding.
Used to have meat in it as well.
So I know you're not a fan of Christmas pudding in the first instance,
let alone chucking some mincemeat in there.
I do remember my grandma rolling with coins back in the day.
We'd cook it with coins,
which I don't think are great for your
health as well. Well, not now, you know,
where coins are bean. And your teeth as
well, if you bite into one as well, be like,
oh, 10 cents. Did anyone choke on the
coin? I think there's huge health
problems from it. And this one I found, I didn't
know. OG Santa
was green. Oh, really?
He was all green.
Coca-Cola commercialised Santa
and turned him into this red chubby.
Can you say that?
Can I say he's a red chubby guy?
I love it actually you can.
I mean, he does.
He's a jolly fat man, isn't he?
He fat shames himself.
Is that okay?
He does.
Every tonne.
Maybe he could shred a couple of...
But anyway,
they turned him into the red lovable,
cuddly guy we know today.
And he rolled with it afterwards.
It's very, very cool.
The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
King Charles, the rumour he is planning his first trip down under
to New Zealand and Australia now that he's king.
Hopping on Trivago, is he getting the best deals?
Probably, yeah.
That'll be some fanfare.
What are your thoughts on the Royals?
Do you care about them?
I'm mildly interested in them,
but not probably enough to go down and wave when he's there.
I'd go, great, come on down, check it out,
but probably not.
You'll give it some coverage when he's here.
It's a hello plot.
If he came in.
What, do you think he'd replace that sort of thing?
Well, we are also doing our own predictions.
The media predicting Charles is going to be here next year.
Like Nostradamus, the French astrologer, predicting stuff for next year.
I was looking at Nostradamus yesterday.
He predicted a lot of stuff, that guy.
The Great Fire of London, French Revolution, the rise of Napoleon, Hitler,
the atomic bombings of Hiroshima, and September 11.
Wow.
Those are some of the big hits from Nostradamus.
Well, we're trying to make some predictions,
and I don't know if we're going to quite be as good as Nostradamus,
but Producer Taylor, you've got one.
Yes.
One and one only, you've said, though they don't ask you anymore.
No, so it came to me like a vision,
because I do have some psychic abilities similar to that of Nostradamus.
You're nothing like Nostradamus, by the way.
Megan Markle and Prince Harry,
I reckon they'll announce their separation next year.
It's probably not far off.
Yeah.
No, it's a good prediction.
Yeah.
You are very in touch with your dream catchers
and your incense, aren't you?
Spiritual side, yes.
Yes.
Talks to ghosts and all sorts.
That one could be legit.
We've got some ones that have come through
that we've been working on
thanks to your help
now not quite as
you know
yeah we started this
yesterday
we're covering off
four or five per day
24 predictions for 24
Scott Robertson
to be the first
All Black coach
to twerk
after an All Blacks
victory came through
we've got some new ones
so we'll run these
past year
producer Taylor
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
they're back
the teenagers
and their new movie
is going to be
less about fighting
and more about vaping.
Yeah.
That's what teens are into these days, right?
So that's what they're going to do.
Valid.
Follow-up one, they get into Ram Raiding as a sequel.
That's right.
He's done Paddy Gower on pee, weed, and booze.
Now he's got a small headache, so he does a documentary, Paddy Gower on Padadol.
What do you reckon?
Yep.
He did the Royals too.
He did.
Feels like we are getting to the
Panadol stage
the Paddy Gower
investigate
we'll throw one more
out here
after finishing Avatar
James Cameron
films a new movie
about blue people
the National Party
Cabinet
oh that'd be interesting
so yeah
so some of those
may or may not happen
which ironically
is just about
a whole bunch
of white people
there's probably
some similarities between
the original storyline of Avatar.
If you've got some predictions for us,
4487, we're going to compile
24 predictions for the year
2024.
Spoke to someone
yesterday who is in the trenches
with Frozen.
Now I know Frozen's not a
new player to the market, is it?
No.
But, yeah, he's in the Frozen years.
And when the Frozen years come through to your parenting career,
they are high impact, isn't it?
Short but high impact.
I feel now, you know, for us, we were right in that sweet spot
with our kids in the Frozen years.
And it's good to see the Frozen's still around,
but it's probably more like, you know,
you feel like talking to parents today,
it's like the bluey years and things like that,
or Emma, Emma, and things like that, you know?
Yeah.
I feel like Frozen, well, it's great.
It still stands up for the kids.
Yeah, that's good.
You're not offending Frozen, mate.
Yeah.
No.
I loved Frozen.
That was great.
One of my favourite movies.
Yeah, yeah.
But he knows all the words to the soundtrack
because every time he's in the car,
the only thing that'll keep the kids quiet in the back
is playing Let It Go on repeat,
which is...
I mean, it was a jam.
Yeah, it was some great jams.
Love Is An Open Door, another great one.
Hans, who thought Hans was going to turn out to be so...
Oh!
I was like, audibly gasped when I found out it was Hans.
But he was looking after, he was, he was what?
He was the guy.
He was, the whole time?
Yeah.
So yeah, he's subliminally, well not so subliminally,
the lyrics to Let It Go etched into his brain.
He reckons forever there is going to be no point in his life where he doesn't know the words to that.
And things like that happen.
And it annoys you because you're like,
well, there's daily stuff that I'm forgetting to do.
But for me, I know all the words to the Tux dog food commercial.
You do, yeah.
From 20 years ago.
Tux keeps him full of life.
Fit as a fiddle, sharp as a knife.
You know, that's fun.
Shift in the mob. It's a fiddle, sharp as a knife. You know, that's fun. Shift in the mob.
It's a feed for the working dog.
Keep the anger to the bluff.
There's only one feed that's good enough.
And I'm like, I can't even remember my password to get into the Microsoft account here at work.
Yeah, but you know the tux.
I can tell you the tux keeps me full of life for no reason.
What just lodges in your brain.
And that's all we want to know this morning.
0800 the hits, 4487.
Maybe you just loved it and you played it too much yourself.
Or maybe it's because your kids are playing it.
For me at the moment, you know, it's a mix of Olivia Rodrigo.
I keep banging on about Olivia Rodrigo to the bosses here at the hits.
We need to be playing more of her.
Never have I connected more with a 20 year old i'm like this that's weird
how have you connected with the 20 year old the lyrics and everything i'm like jesus she is
amazing i just like yeah you're like that guy was such a monster to you yeah what's his name

Can I tell you how old I am?
Birthdays, anniversaries.
You know, I always wondered that.
You hear a song from back in the day and you're like,
I still know the lyrics, but I can't remember other things
that are way more important. Well, that would be true, but I couldn't, I still know the lyrics, but I can't remember other things that are way more important.
Well, that would be true, but I couldn't think of one now.
That's what I can't remember.
Cathy, well, listen, you just said off air you're in the middle of a meeting.
How'd that go down in the meeting?
They ignored me.
Good on you, Cathy.
Have a great day.
Okay, cool.
Lisa, good morning.
How are you?
Good, thank you.
Yourself?
Yeah, we're doing really well.
You know all the words to what? Paw Patrol. The characters to Paw Patrol. Oh, cool. Lisa, good morning. How are you? Good, thank you. Yourself? Yeah, we're doing really well. You know all the words to what?
Paw Patrol.
The characters to Paw Patrol.
Oh, yeah.
Okay, so there is Rocky, Rubble, Sky, Chase, Marshall.
Yeah, I'm looking at Zoomers there as well.
Oh, yeah, there's Zoomer, and then there's the robot dog,
and then there's Tracker.
You really do know your characters.
They keep breeding.
They just keep breeding those dogs.
I tell you what, they are prolific.
I guess the dogs haven't been de-sexed
if we get there.
They haven't been to the vet,
the Paw Patrol ones, have they?
No, I don't think so.
I think they need to.
They're like, guys, come on.
Has this served you any purpose in life?
Never.
Never.
How much Paw Patrol do you feel like you've had to watch?
Way too much, but I haven't had to suffer the wiggles, so that's okay.
Listen, I suffered a lot of Bubble Guppies back in the day.
Yeah, I did watch a bit of Bubble Guppies as well.
Bubble Guppy Guppy Guppies.
Good on you, mate.
Thank you so much, Lisa.
You have a good day.
All good.
You take care.
Jennifer, you're on.
Welcome.
It's also Paw Patrol, but the theme song.
Also Paw Patrol, yes.
Take it away, Jen.
It's actually, it goes, Paw Patrol, Paw Patrol, be there on the double.
Hey, my four-year-old is sitting behind me just nodding his head like, yeah.
That's my jam.
That's my song.
Good on you, Jennifer.
Appreciate it. We'll get Alison on
Apparently it's a Wiggles song
That's etched into the back of your memory Alison
Oh yeah
The cold spaghetti hot bun
Now we've been told
We've been warned, you said don't you get me
To sing it or I'll hang up
So Alison, can you please sing it for us, Alison?
She's going to hang up.
No.
No.
But the sad thing is when you're on a great nephew,
he thinks that auntie doesn't know anything and she starts singing the song.
And they're like, how do you remember that?
Yeah.
Exactly.
So what's the underlying frustration with that?
Hey, thank you so much, Alison.
Really appreciate your call.
Have a good day.
The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast.
Now, I want to play a wee game with you, Jono,
because, you know, it's always hard to remember
exactly when things were released.
Yeah, your memory gets a little bit hazy and foggy, doesn't it?
It all sort of clumps into one.
One period in life of that's happened,
and you can kind of vaguely remember within a five year gap of when things took place
So I want to rattle through
these particular songs and then
I want you to tell me exactly what years
you think they are and I'll
let you know at the end. Okay let's go with the first one
