Starting point is 00:00:00 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
Starting point is 00:00:36 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.
Starting point is 00:01:09 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,
Starting point is 00:01:22 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?
Starting point is 00:01:39 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.
Starting point is 00:01:50 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.
Starting point is 00:01:59 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
Starting point is 00:02:10 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
Starting point is 00:02:21 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
Starting point is 00:02:47 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.
Starting point is 00:03:04 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.
Starting point is 00:03:21 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,
Starting point is 00:03:35 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.
Starting point is 00:03:49 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.
Starting point is 00:04:04 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?
Starting point is 00:04:23 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.
Starting point is 00:04:48 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.
Starting point is 00:05:04 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.
Starting point is 00:05:15 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,
Starting point is 00:05:26 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.
Starting point is 00:05:39 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
Starting point is 00:06:02 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.
Starting point is 00:06:13 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.
Starting point is 00:06:24 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,
Starting point is 00:06:41 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
Starting point is 00:07:24 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?
Starting point is 00:07:39 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.
Starting point is 00:08:03 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.
Starting point is 00:08:46 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
Starting point is 00:09:09 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
Starting point is 00:09:19 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
Starting point is 00:09:24 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
Starting point is 00:09:46 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
Starting point is 00:10:15 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.
Starting point is 00:10:32 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.
Starting point is 00:10:47 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,
Starting point is 00:11:05 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.
Starting point is 00:11:21 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
Starting point is 00:11:37 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.
Starting point is 00:11:51 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
Starting point is 00:12:07 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?
Starting point is 00:12:15 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
Starting point is 00:12:23 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.
Starting point is 00:12:42 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.
Starting point is 00:12:54 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.
Starting point is 00:13:05 Yeah. Yeah. Now, facts about Christmas that will blow your mind. These are, I'm going to front foot it and say,
Starting point is 00:13:14 these are probably facts where you go, oh yeah, that makes sense. Right. Okay, not mind-blowing facts because there's nothing
Starting point is 00:13:19 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.
Starting point is 00:13:37 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.
Starting point is 00:13:47 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
Starting point is 00:14:07 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
Starting point is 00:14:13 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
Starting point is 00:14:20 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.
Starting point is 00:14:31 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
Starting point is 00:14:46 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?
Starting point is 00:15:02 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?
Starting point is 00:15:14 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.
Starting point is 00:15:25 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.
Starting point is 00:15:41 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.
Starting point is 00:15:57 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,
Starting point is 00:16:19 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.
Starting point is 00:16:35 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.
Starting point is 00:16:53 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
Starting point is 00:17:05 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
Starting point is 00:17:11 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
Starting point is 00:17:18 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
Starting point is 00:17:24 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.
Starting point is 00:17:33 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
Starting point is 00:17:47 the Paddy Gower investigate we'll throw one more out here after finishing Avatar James Cameron films a new movie about blue people
Starting point is 00:17:53 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
Starting point is 00:18:01 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
Starting point is 00:18:13 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.
Starting point is 00:18:29 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,
Starting point is 00:18:47 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.
Starting point is 00:18:58 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
Starting point is 00:19:08 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.
Starting point is 00:19:32 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.
Starting point is 00:19:48 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.
Starting point is 00:20:04 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.
Starting point is 00:20:25 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
