The Hits, with the Jono and Ben podcast. Cheers to Dilma, making the world a better tea. Hey, now, a bit of a dilemma, social dilemma here. Question is, would you rather be with a dead broke person? Okay, so Taylor, producer Taylor. They're not dead, though, right? They're not dead. They're not Michael Jackson.

No, they're broke. Just a broke person. Someone who's got no money. Yeah, broke person who really loves you, okay? Loves you unconditionally. Or option B, be with a billionaire who you know cheats on you. What option are you taking? Taylor?

Well, you know the right answer, right? Like everyone's thinking what the ethical answer is yeah we'd love you to chime in to 0800 the hits on this one um but like but a billion dollars is a billion dollars what are my circumstances that's what i want to know yeah and it's the point do i love either of them or not no you're genuinely love so either way i'm in love with financial situation like i'm not a billionaire, okay? No, you're doing all right. I'm doing all right?

Like I can help old mate who's broke or not? Is it not just your scenario now? It'll become a bone of contention because you're paying for old mate all the time. Yeah. Oh, at least they love me. Wait, is the billionaire old? No, he doesn't have to be old, does he? No.

Okay. Charismatic, charismatic. Let's say old No Charismatic They say good looking But cheats on you Elon Musk goes off and makes his 17th child While you're married to Elon Musk What are you doing Megan? I Might surprise you and I'd say

I'd go for true love Because I think we all have the opportunity to do that, really. Like, in real life. Be a billionaire. No, you have the chance to hook up with a rich person. No, we don't. You're naming billionaires. No, maybe not billionaires.

But you can go out there and find rich people. You can go out there and find rich people and try can go out there and find rich people. And try and hook up with them. This is a billion dollars. This isn't even millions. Stuff your house in Auckland. You could buy all of Hawaii. But he's cheating on you.

At the end of the day. They all do. You could cheat on him. You could cheat on him too. Yeah, exactly. No, I just feel like you're just going to. What's to say the poor guy's not going to cheat on you anyway? But what's to say if you're in a gonna cheat on you anyway but what's to say

if you're in a good happy relationship he's not gonna be a billionaire eventually oh he won't it's very rare so we've got two clear camps here

we've got true love and we've got Taylor who's like money speaks volumes okay okay I love both your opinions I love both your thoughts okay I went under

the hood can I divorce him and take half oh yeah yeah after six months three years we're gonna say three years you gotta be together well you didn't say that I love both your thoughts. Okay, I went under the hits. Can I divorce him and take half? Yeah. You're the billionaire. Yeah, you could after six months. Three years.

We're going to say three years you've got to be together. Oh, you didn't say that. The Hits, the Jono and Ben podcast. A very interesting moral dilemma this morning. We keep going around in circles in the studio about this one. Would you rather be with a broke person who really loves you? They would do their all for you. Or be with a billionaire who constantly cheats on you.

And you love them both. You're in love, deeply in love, madly in love. I'm also like, lots of questions like, what stage of my life am I at? How am I feeling? Well, right now. Right now. Right now. Because you're kind of refusing to answer the question. It sounds like you're going with the billionaire.

Well, look at us. I'm in my 20s, and I'm like, get me a sugar daddy. I mean, you're like, yeah, this is, you know. Well, like you're going with the billionaire. Well, look at us. I'm in my 20s and I'm like, get me a sugar daddy. I mean, you're like, yeah, this is, you know. Well, now you're in your 40s. Okay. You've got a family. Yeah, well, family's weird either way. Yeah, no.

Family would understand. I'm like, I'm going to get some money from the billionaire. But everyone's saying that on the text machine. Like, marry him. Be with the billionaire. Have like a pool boy or something on the side. Cheat on him. Back.

Get divorced. take half the money the thing is like Jono said he's a billionaire he's got an iron clad prenup you're probably not getting anything

so imagine when the relationship ends it's the end of the money so you've got good money while you're with them I see what you're saying having a great run

a great three or four years alright the poor the poor person so you're going the poor person. Why? Because they love you. They love you unconditionally.

Shut up. You're making it sound like something. But I think it's amazing that one person can really love someone and they really love them back. Like, that's quite precious, really. That's nice. Is it worth a million dollars? Well, that's the question right now, isn't it?

Amanda, what are you doing? What are you doing with this complex scenario? Yes, it is pretty complex. I would probably marry the billionaire and seeing that he's cheating on you like crazy. Why don't you do the same and cheat on him and go with the guy that loves you and just live two separate lives? You have your bedroom, he has his bedroom. Yeah.

And then just divorce after three years. Very shallow existence it is but you've got money but you don't you don't walk out with money though. That's the only thing.

I kind of Yeah. Kind of don't really see the downside of that scenario. No, no. You're living a good life for I don't know

you can stay with the sugar daddy for a long time. You can just pop him a few sleeping pills, I don't know, you can stay with the sugar daddy for a long time. You can pop him a few sleeping pills. He doesn't have to worry about anything. Okay, okay. Now we're getting quite into some murky sort of territory. Okay.

A little bit of cyanide. No one knows. I don't know what he's old. He's old. That's the one I'm wearing to Rupert Murdoch. Georgia, you're on. Welcome. Are you staying with the poor person who really loves you Or a billionaire who cheats on you?

Definitely going with the billionaire Marrying them And then leaving them to go with the poor person Oh, so while you're being cheated on You find love with the poor person You've got to get the money And then make the poor person Well, definitely richer.

Any sleeping pills in your example? Potentially. Because if he's got an ironclad prenup and divorced, you don't get anything. What happens if he dies? Do you get it all then? Yeah, if I didn't get anything, I'd definitely expose them. People will know him. Yeah, right. Okay, this is taking quite the dark turn.

But there we go. Kelly, who them. Yeah, right. Okay, this is taking quite the dark turn. But there we go. Kelly, who's come on from Christchurch, says she has the perfect answer. What are you doing, Kel? Good morning. Morning. So I'm thinking about this dilemma, and it's like, well, you know, you can make things really good for all of us.

So you'd marry the billionaire and, you know, sort of hang out for a little while and obviously till time passed and then you'd divorce them and then go back to the one that you love oh so you've got you've gathered some cash while you've been with the billionaire and you go back and you're like hey look i've got us some savings oh yes so yeah if you're not getting anything in the divorce just siphon it off while you're with them what was that moving start a business uh producer taylor's saying while you're in there yeah okay like an active web business or something yeah yeah what was that movie it was oh now it's me vaguely describing movies was it indecent proposal oh same thing it was the demi-moire movie from back in the day this guy was like hey let me spend a night with your lady. A million dollars for a night with your wife.

Yeah. Was there anyone that said they'd choose the poor person? No. No, just you. You're the only good person in this country. Speaks volumes.

I did marry a musician.
