Speaker 1 (00:01):
With the John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Cheers to Delmark making the world a bitter tea.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
The Olympics. So that's finished a couple of days ago
and last Wednesday. Actually nothing to do with the Olympics,
and I even mentioned the Olympics. Absolutely no coincidence whatsoever.
We had our own torch ceremony.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
There was a class of scheduling that they had a
torch ceremony and we had a torch ceremony. I mean,
we sent them the calendar invite. You would have thought
they would have adjusted accordingly.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
But doctor Gerrae and Snoop and read Hot Chili Peppers
and Stafy, they had their thing.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
You know, we did our own thing. Yeah, we we
We're not all the show residents. We just stated this
is New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
We had a dolphin torch and just your you know,
your dolphin torch that you'd see in your cupboard or
a campsite or wherever around the country.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
We got one of those.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
What is it called a dolphin Whatever dolphins got to
do with batteries? Are we chucking them in the ocean
and they love it? Seems like I.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Would leave me to believe that was waterproof.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
It was a dolphin.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
But I don't know if it is.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Dolphins and batteries have no connection in my mind. Maybe
someone listening might know what the correlation is there.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
Very remarkable, Torch. Can I just say that? Because on
Wednesday we put it on and we thought by the
end of the week the batteries would run out. That's
what we were thinking.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Maybe it's like dolphins, they just keep going, they're just swimming,
they're never stopping.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
And we don't know how old the batteries were, so
we thought it'll be gone in a couple of days.
And you could basically predict on the hats breakfast on
Facebook when the batteries would run out. The closest ones
of the time the batteries actually run out would win
five hundred dollars. But this thing is still gone.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Still going. Yeah, So you've taken it home for a
couple of days. I've tended and cared for it like
a newborn child. I wrapped it up, swaddled it, fed
it nutrients from my bosom to keep it going. But
last night we left it with the security here in
the building.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
So is it still going?
Speaker 4 (01:46):
We haven't checked in on We're going to go call Gunjuan,
head of security, never asked. It's already got a torch.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
He's got he's got a well with a disco setting,
so he didn't need this torch. He's been sitting under
the desk here reception.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
So overnight we've had security obviously looking after it and
if I dold the wrong number, oh no, it should
be gone through. It felt like you feel like it
was ringing and then it stopped ringing. Great radio.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
That is life radio again.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
We're going to sit here and pay for time. Talk
more about the well. It's called a dolphin.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Yeah, so overnight, maybe it's switched off, and if it
has switched off, hopefully the overnight security guard was the
memo was passed on that they had to keep an
eye at what time it was, because people have been
entering at the top on Facebook as to what time
hid John you baby, I'm good, I'm good. How are you?
(02:49):
We're doing all right. We're on the radio right now.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
We just wanted to know our torch, the dolphin.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
How's it going?
Speaker 6 (02:55):
It's still on?
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Still still on?
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Is it looking?
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Is it looking any less bright than when it was
handed over to you? On the official passing the torch
ceremony yesterday, Gunjan No.
Speaker 7 (03:06):
It's same, looks same, exactly, relentless.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
I think this thing is just running on stubbornness.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I know, all right, well, you know what to do
if it runs out at any stage or anyone else
in your security team notice it runs out, let us
know exactly the time it runs out.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
I've told them that any any trouble this morning, Gun John,
what's been happening out there?
Speaker 7 (03:26):
No nothing, nothing, everything.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Everything under control in the trenches. All right, thank you
so much, Gun John, appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (03:34):
You have a thank you, Thank you team.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I feel like we've really just like it was our burden.
We've burned something like our whole security team.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Because I think we're both going on. This thing's never
going to end. Because there was we have called an
experts crisis. Meetings were held and there was talking there
if it was led powered or something that you know,
seven years better. Some people go on in the building
like there'll be some sort of what happened while were
you their security?
Speaker 5 (04:00):
We'll keep it nine a torch because.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
The LA Olympics twenty twenty eight, yeah, surobably still going
gone by there. You can still we do it.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
The Hats Breakfast on Facebook. You can win five hundred
dollars whenever this torch goes out. As John I said before,
the America's Cup joins us in ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Time in the studio the hits that Jonavan Ben Podcast.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron and Toyter New Zealand. They're
taking the America's Cup, the extra trophy around the country.
You can catch it as it goes from the top
of the North to the deep South and to tell
us more about it from the Royal New Zealand Yacht
Squadron as David Blakeley, good morning.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
How are you good? Thank you lovely, lovely to have
you in here. You and and the America's Cup. We
can't still saying it's a lot bigger than you think
it would be.
Speaker 7 (04:41):
It is.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
No one's there to me.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Do you find that people do say that about the
America's Cup they're surprised with the size of it.
Speaker 8 (04:47):
Everybody says that, yeah, yeah, it is a spectacular trophy.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
It is I would say the size of a what
a four or five year old kid?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Yeah, but if you want to use the child measurement system, yeah,
for a five year old kid. Yeah, so how heavy
is it?
Speaker 8 (05:00):
Because seventeen kilos oldest trophy in sport over one hundred
and seventy years ago.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Wow. Is really it's a sight to behold and you're
going to be taking it around the country, that's right.
Speaker 8 (05:11):
So we're our friends from Toyota, New Zealand. We're taking
it to forty destinations around the country, from Kitty Kitty
in the north to Icargo in the south, visiting sailing clubs, schools.
Toyota stores the length and breedge to the country.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
That's very coose so people can get up close to
it and get a photo.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Awesome, Now you got you got a wonderful gentleman here
with white gloves on. Now you're it's his job to
carry it round.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
That's norm normally norm, it's normal. Is he a safe
pair of hands?
Speaker 8 (05:36):
Norm? Norm is a very safe.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
Hasn't dropped it? Evan dropped it once yet?
Speaker 4 (05:41):
No?
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Yeah, I measure a huge responsibility for you.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Normal normal, normal, It's like you could kill a man.
Don't message the cap well and yeah, many people will
be aware that it's not going to be held in
New Zealand this time. Whereabouts is the next America's Cup.
Speaker 8 (05:55):
The next America's Cup is in Barcelona.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Isn't what? They take it to Barcelona?
Speaker 8 (06:00):
Yeah, because Barcelona offered to host it for us, and
by doing that, the team was able to raise enough
money to be able to hopefully successfully defend it. Nice,
So that's a little bit different this time. So this
is effectively the Cup going on. It's oe and we're
doing something.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Different, but it's still a home race for us.
Speaker 8 (06:16):
We are still defending it.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
And so are there new teams, new countries entering this
America's Cup that haven't been there previously.
Speaker 8 (06:23):
Yes, there are. So there's teams from France before, Swiss
are back with a they had a linger. Yeah, And
what is different this time is they're brought in the
muscle of some of the Formula One teams and Lingy
have so they've got the Red Bull Formula one team
in the have brought in the Mercedes Formula One team,
so they're putting enormous resource and horsepower and Team New
(06:46):
Zealand are working incredibly hard so make sure that they
can do.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Because it's changed so much over I remember, you know,
the early times that I would watch it with the
boats would seem to go out.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
I felt like they're out there for days.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Probably wasn't. But now they've gone missing for six hours.
We'll find out who wins.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
They're jovings, But now it's like Formula one on water,
isn't it. They had the little trampoline thing they had,
but one stage pedaling with their feet and legs as well.
It's so many innovations have happened over the last few years.
Speaker 8 (07:11):
And the cycles are back this time. But what will
be unique this time is the event will be literally
sailed off the beach in Barcelona.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Is it going to be fast? How much faster can go?
Speaker 8 (07:21):
Well, the feedback we're getting is a lot.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Faster than last America.
Speaker 8 (07:25):
Is a lot faster than the last America.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Because there's always a secrecy too, because no one wants
to have sort of played their hand too early. And
the technology and stuffy, So how does all that happen?
Do they sort of sail when other people aren't watching, or.
Speaker 8 (07:36):
As I say, a lot of the technology and the
sophistication is what we can't see. It's inside the boats.
They can only build a certain number of foils, but
they'll all be careful. There's actually the preliminary regatt for
the America's Cup starts at the end of this month,
and that will be the first time that we'll see
all the boats racing together and actually start to get
a feel for who's fast and who's not.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
And so do they look to like Olympic athletes and things,
because like, if you've got cyclists, we're just won gold
multiple times the women did in France.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
That's right. In fact, you to New Zealand has ex
Olympic cyclaws in their team.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Do we have a big hand in making the rules
for this America's Cup given that we're the current cup holders.
Speaker 8 (08:14):
We do, but we have to agree with with what
they call a challenger of record, right, which is a
club that acts on behalf of the challenging clubs, and
in this case it's the Royal Yacht Squadron out of England.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Because I'd be like, hey, by the way, no formula one, dudes,
want to keep those in and aloud and you get
you'd start five minutes after we start, I don't.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Oh, well, thank you so much for bringing that. And
it's really an honor. They have America's Company yourself in
the studio. Where can people if they want to see it.
As you say, it's going from the top of the
North to the bottom of the south. How can they
find out where it's going to be.
Speaker 8 (08:45):
Yeah, the best place to go is our website which
is Keywi cup dot co dot enz and that has
all the details for the trip.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Would he nite me to get the old silvo out
on that thing and a whole bottle for polishing job?
Speaker 9 (08:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Really remarkable, So you definitely go see this thing. You
have a photo with it before it heads off. When
does it go overseas?
Speaker 8 (09:04):
It goes to Barcelona towards end of September.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Yeah, carry on luggage first class, first class.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
I can imagine it would be first class. We've got
a first class bock. Well, thank you so much for
coming in. We really appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (09:14):
Pleasure Dave. There you go from the New Zealand or
yacht Squadron, which is quite look a lot of weird
words in one mouthful. I also had to spell yachts
yeah in squadron. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
The HiT's the johonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
At the one of the supermarkets right now, you can
get Disney cards and I love a supermarket promotion. I
get particularly a Disney one up in the past, got
swept up in the Disney dominoes. This time, I've bought
their little collector's album that I can try and collect
my one hundred and eight. Didn't realize it was one
hundred and eight cards until I bought the album. There's
a lot of pages, but that's my commitment to collecting cards.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
The first step to recovery Ben is admitting you have
a problem. You've the dominoes, You've got, You've got swepped
up in the little shops, the little gardens. Yeah, those
weird those. You've already got Disney cars that you put
in a viewfinder thing. What was that was that? Disney characters?
Speaker 5 (10:04):
There's there's been a lot you've got.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
If the collections have you been a part of, Yeah,
a few, a few, but that's been new one.
Speaker 10 (10:11):
I move on.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
You move on to a new collection that gives you,
gives your life some purpose.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Do you know there are I can't think of any
worse vices out there than Bend's one. But one of
the greatest humanitarian acts I think I've ever been a
part of is when you go to the supermarket and
it happened to be on the weekend and they're like,
are you collecting the stickers? The stickers that are like
the size of a baby, and you know those ones.
I was like, listen, no, I'm not. And then what
(10:36):
I like to do? Give it to the next person?
Oh my god, I feel like a million times and
they are like, I owe you. I will name my
next born child after you. You know, the lack of
gratitude and it makes you feel So it's the same
with these things.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
If you get the cards and then if you'll give
it to this person.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
They are just like forever and you're in debt.
Speaker 11 (10:57):
Ah.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Yeah, so collection crazy? Have you been part of collection craziness?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Do you do?
Speaker 4 (11:04):

We've done all of the wool.
Speaker 6 (11:35):
Worst ones, so we've done the bricks, the dominoes, the cards,
and that is the thing that is.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
The hook that these conglomerates they know, they know what's
any human it's a natural humanation. Once you start a collection,
you need to collection. That's what they get you. You're right,
they know how we're.
Speaker 6 (11:53):

New Zealand on Saturday and my kid was like, Mum,
what's she's doing a card Collich And I don't even
know how he found out about that. So now we're
hopped into that.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
If it's going to give your cards, that's that's your moment.
You're like, do you want these cards? As soon as
you say yes, you opened the cards, I know it's
the gameway. I know I'm going to be buying the album.
I'm going to be filling up one hundred and eight
cards or I'm going to be really said that I don't.
Speaker 6 (12:18):
The worst cards for us because we don't even have
a wall with in our town. So I have to

In that situation. I had kind of bit of quite well,
I don't want to come on here and boast or anything.
But that's what the radio is for, doesn't it self indulgence.
(19:26):
I was driving along the road. It was when we're
having a year overseas and we're having a holiday. This
lady she ran out in the middle of rune. She's
hysterical and cry stop the car. It was like a
four lane road. I was look a lot of traffic
and You're like, what's going on here? Because I have
pulled over for people previously been remember that loving I
pulled over. She looked like she hadn't she hadn't blinked
(19:48):
in about three years, and you ended up taking it
to her. She's like, I'm late for my district corn appearance.
I'm like, I was just down the road from the
radio station. I was due for our afternoon radio show.
I was like, oh, I sucked up the big ones.
I was like, oh, but I'll take you to court.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
Now, I'll go to court.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
And we're about sort of three minutes into the trip.
She's like, you know what I could go. We could
go Windy's. I was like, you just do that for
I was like, okay, I guess we can take you
the Windys. You can't go to court on an empty start.
You don't know how long that's gonna be. Yeah, And
I mean if you're going away for a long time,
then you want to have a you know, a last meal.
So I took it the Windy's drive through and then
I was like, we need to go to court and
she's like, oh, no, it makes you fine. I'm fine now.
(20:25):
So you would have thought I would have looted my
lessons son. You know, there's lady, she's hysterical, crying, crying,
and she's going, my baby, my baby, my baby, and
I'm like, oh, because I poppy my daughter in the
car and she's like, come into the house, come in
to the house, and so I pulled over. Was like, Poppy,
are gonna have to wait here? I don't know what
because you don't know what you walk into when someone's
saying my baby, my baby, and my baby, and I'm
(20:46):
low key going, I have no skills to do anything here.
I can't you know. It's like when the car breaks
down and I'll walk up to try and help someone
with the broken down carry like I can't help you
today it looked like so they I walk up and
so what had happens? Thank god, nothing serious? Her baby
had somehow she'd gone to hang out the washing and
her baby had locked itself inside the house. But it
(21:09):
was a two story house, so she couldn't climb up
and get in. There was a little window open, and
so I was like, oh, okay, you know, I'll try
and climb. And I was like, hell's this weird.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
White ball man's climbing in the window to see a
baby inside.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
The baby is like steering at me. I'm like, hello,
little baby. Like when you don't have babies, you forget
how to talk to babies. Baby, you don't know the baby,
baby's steering at me, going dangling, hello, little baby. I'm like, listen,
mummy's just in there. I'm just going to climb in,
and the baby's like anyway, climbed in, picked up the baby,
(21:45):
and the babies like, please don't pick me up, screaming
and yelling and okay, win a letter in the door.
So that was thank god, it was anything serious. But
you know, when you're in that situation, from her point
of view, like there's nothing, she was obviously just panicacked.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Oh totally a very very stresful sense. So that's how
we were to handle it. Hey, next, well how am
I going to handle it? John is going to call
a reception. He's going to send me out of the room,
and you're going to basically put a message out for
me at the reception, leave a message for me.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
I don't know what the message. We're going to go
to a medical laboratory because Megan, who's uh, you know
you wonderfully usually here on the show, wonderfully usually just
begging words out of it. She's got COVID, So it's
a COVID themed one.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Oh god, Okay, well it's going to happen next and
it's wonderfully usually she's.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Wonderfully usually here the heads that Jona Wan Ben podcast, I.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Do this from time and time. We got it reception reception.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Realize that we don't have anyone that can take a
message for us on a reception anywhere, right, yeah, well we.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Haven't reached that stage of the corporate letter, have we.
I don't know what stage is that? Middle management? You're
people taking messages?
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Maybe yeah, So we thought, well, it would have been
interesting if we had a receptionist that could take a
message for us, but maybe not from the company we
work for.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Just a receptionist.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Would they take that message for.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Us and pass it on utilize other people's resources? Now Megan,
who's wonderfully usually here, she's away with COVID. She feels
like it's going out for another blast, doesn't it COVID
going for another round trip at the moment. So I
thought we'd to kind of play in that field, Ben.
So what I'll do is I'll get you to leave
the room and I will leave a message for you
(23:19):
with this reception.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
So just a random reception someone and you don't know me,
I'm guessing.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
No, they don't, and you won't know the exact details
of the message, so you go out. Okay, so you
don't know what you're retrieving, and I'm going to do
all the number here. Good luck. Hi, Tina, how are
(23:46):
you good?
Speaker 13 (23:47):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (23:48):
I just got a message to pass on for Ben Ben. Okay,
it's Dr s Lee's Zoomfield calling from the clinic that
he visited.
Speaker 9 (23:56):
Now.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
He just got his test results back in. The good
news is he hasn't tested positive for COVID, but he
has tested positive for undeniable sexiness.
Speaker 10 (24:11):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
We've had reports of people, clusters of people walking past
Ben and their and their clothes just explode off. So
I don't know if the government, the government of all
the community aren't equipped for this amount of sexiness from.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Ben obviously not well.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
We need to lock him up. We do need to
lock him up. We need to lock his perfectly formed,
toned and tandebleach. We need he needs to go into isolation. Okay, Okay, Tina,

tested positive for six We're talking to John O and
Ben from the Hurts radio station.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
You are kidding, Tina.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
All you needed to do was say he had tested
positive for six y us. We can't let the sixtiness
get out of the community. The best laugh I think
we were on the show from Tina. What a great laugh.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
Spot on the line.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
And that's so good. Hey, next the.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Hits that jonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
We've had a complaint. Let's come through to the text
machine now. It was in relation to a competition we're running.
Last week. We were giving you a chance to win
a trip to the iHeartRadio Festival with Stule Liper and
all the all the things in Las Vegas. Now we
were saying Las Vegas Las Vegas, Las Vegas for three
or four weeks as we're putting people in this magnificent
(26:33):
trip in the draw for it, and the text reads, okay,
dear Johonovan Ben's are definitely zeroing in on us now
on the show, thinking it could be all the shows,
but just your current promotion for a trip to Las Vegas.
That's the headline. Note las in Capital's las Las Vegas,
as in Lassie Lasagna, Las Sue. Hasn't any other ass
(26:55):
word you can think of, well an owl at the
start of it, So please be thinking of any s
when you're on here, and please say Las Vegas, not
Las Vegas.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
It's probably quite true when you think about some reason
we just maybe because of Los Angeles or something like that.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
You kind of say, but this is obviously the one
word that winds this person, and everyone has one, and
we've gone say it and they say it wrong. It
winds yups and more. We have this sounds like a
bond villain, this guy that we always refer to on YouTube,
and he's gone through every word in the English language
and how to annunciate it and how to pronounce it.
He listen to him.
Speaker 14 (27:31):
We are looking at how to pronounce the name of
the city located in the state of Nevada. In Spanish,
he said has Las Vegas, las Vegas with a B sound. However,
in the US and English this is said as Las
Vegas plus.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Vegas planted even nuclear bob under the building the time
it has twenty four hours. But yeah, las Vegas las
Vegas is hey mean to say with a beat.
Speaker 15 (28:02):
That feels like it's going to wind more people be
if I go around doing that. Some of them, Yeah,
so this is what we want this morning. Words that
winds you up? I wait, hundred hits the telephone number
you can text four four eight.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
My dad would always get enough set mentioned this before.
Was he'd always think of it his school teacher, so
he'd always think of things geographically. So but I wouldn't either.
So I'd just be going, I'm going down to this place.
So I'm going and I'm just whipping down to and
he was go up or you know, it was it
was up, You're going up, you're here, and that's up.
That's the directions up and be like, oh, I haven't.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
It was just like I don't care.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
I don't care, but I wouldn't care because technically I was.
I was going up, Like you know, if I was
in Auckland, I'll be going, I'm going, I'm going down
to Russell up up, it's.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Up in the north. And my wife to know when
she listens to this radio show and it's just this show, Yeah,
this show. When I say to every call, I love
your work. That why that really irritates you. She's like,
you can't love everyone's you don't even know what the
work is. That's a good point. I ran into a
guy who had a electronic bracelet on ankle bracelet on
(29:11):
the other week, and I didn't know how to in
the conversation. I was just chatting with him and is
I was like, I love your work, mate, and then
I was looking away, go do what I was working. Yeah,
he's just got out of prison, so whatever his work was,
he was good at it. He was good at it
good in places.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
One of the things that winds you up, the hat's
the one word that winds you out four four eight,
A phrase the six could be a phrase your boy.
When people say it's your boy and they don't really
sound like they should be saying your boy, but your girl.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
That winds me up. But what winds you up next?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
The hits that jonaan Ben podcast now being you thought
you wed a heck but you've been out and hacked
by your wife.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Well yeah, the older you know, I get you're probably
the same the more you work out, you're like man
an interesting.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
Weird individual. Yeah, all the time, all the time. But
then I think, am I weird? And do? I even
went to christ you the other day when we were
there for the Alpha Quiz that night and I was
twining moments. She's like, you're an eccentric character. She's and
then coming from a lady who's lived a lot of life,
and she said, you're very eccentric, and I was like,
(30:13):
I think I'm normal. You know, you think yourself and
your actions and what you do and the decision you
make a completely normal But they do other people they're like,
this is weird.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
So they are two things for the story. One, as
you know, sorry Terry and me we've got no bestin's
working together. Like I turned sorry off my phone. I
don't want my phone listening.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
To be Have you got one of those things in
your house the Alexa.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
That listens to and one of my daughters has one
of those type things. But I keep telling you unplugging
all the time doesn't even know of a conversation. I'd
be like, I plug aleixa over a second time.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
Yeah, you're running a meth house. Plugged that, mate, Have
you got a wire?
Speaker 3 (30:57):
I wanted to ask, all right, plug it again. Will
not be hearing a word out of me, sia myself
when the other thing is. For some reason, I decided
I didn't want to sleep next to the phone. So yeah,
we got our room renovated a while ago, and there's
no drive wife crazy because there's no plugs by the bea,
there's no physical way you could plug anything.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
And next to the bit, because you were like, well,
I don't need to plug anything next the bit. Next
whatever's Gama raised for the phone. So we've got a little.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
Bathroom just off the beddream so that's where the phones
get plugged in it.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
His decision was not plugs in the wall. That's really inconvenient. Cool.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Now she's like, why I mean this plugs in the wall,
just not directly lamp, and she gets really yeah, anyway,
so yeah, like why did I do this?
Speaker 4 (31:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
But anyway, now where the phones go into the little
bathroom next to the bedroom. But I think it's really
good because the alarm goes off in the morning, there's
no you can't snooze.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
You're just straight up turning the alarm offah, which is
pivotal for the hours that we usually get the day,
because my wife will probably and I think your wife's
the same. She could she probably want to snooze a
couple of times and just gaze into the day. But
I'm like, no, just get into it. I'm with you.
I am fully. Since I hear the bing bang out
of bed.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
What's no point snoozing. I mean, there's no no good
can come from it's right, You've got to get her. Otherwise,
give yourself ten more extra minutes if you've got that
time until your alarm.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Goes And I almost like, what's another five minutes going
to do? It's not going to add any more energy
to me.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
So either weekend, I'd already got up, but he dub
my thing and my wife had to get up. She
was going to take one of my daughter's to nipball,
and I heard her alarm go off in the bathroom
and I was like, oh, should be up. She'd be
at them she'll be off to turn this alarm off,
and then I hear the noise Siri stop, Siri stop.
I'm like, oh my goodness. She can lie in bed
and she can say to Siri, who I don't have
(32:46):
any place stealing relationship.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
I don't know about that. I don't know that Siri.
And then their love stopped, and.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Oh my goodness she is she is how hack to
my heck?
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Just serious?
Speaker 5 (33:00):
So sorry, now turns off her alarm and the whole
point of the get up and at.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Him on the day. Then's why you put the plugs
in the to get the family up here.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
So anyway, so she's great.
Speaker 5 (33:11):
I was actually quite oppressed by.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
She didn't get out.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
She had an extraus nose went off and the way
she went, oh wow, yeah, so well done.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
She was another lady in your relationship. Sorry quick coming
between you and your wife. Next, absolute shocker I had
at work yesterday. It wasn't it a shocker? You can
we can we bring the person in poor Ashley? Oh
my god? They were it was yeah, it was bad.
It was bad, and it's a Ralph lurine one on
(33:44):
what happened? We'll tell you next.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
The hits that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
The afternoon next yesterday, we were filming a little something
before the Hits Bounty with John.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
Here's some social media content. That's what you've got to
do nowadays. There's multi layers world. We live in there bo,
So we filmed like a little sketch where we were
detectives good cop, bad cop, and we were sort of investigating,
interrogating the suspects who are the musical artists.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
You can see what we've done because that is the bounty.
We're searching for these artists. I've got a reward. So
that's all we were doing. Well dressed as cops were
and some sort of weird dingy little room downstairs.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
It work. Yeah, it's like very good, very sweet shopping vibes.
It's like, I don't know what it is. There's like cages,
there's like pumps pumping things. There was a lady once
we went down there once, a lady eating her lunch
and a cooked lunch, full cooks lunch, just sitting there
by yourself. The last questions, I don't know what it's
all going. Word, No, what is this? What is happening
in this room at the T move factory? Look good?
Speaker 5 (34:40):
Though look good for what we were needed for filming.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
So we were, as you say, interrogating these artists and
we were using people around the officer's silhouettes for the artists.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
Yeah, because, believe it or not, we couldn't get Taylor
Swift down to our weird, weird cage on some world
tour or something, so we needed someone to body double
for Taylor Swift. Now, this is where the wonderful Ashley
Bryce Esleie Bryce CEO of Music, CEO of Music, Bryce
of Music on the hits, all the songs you hear
actually has a huge part and putting them on the radio.
(35:10):
So that's Ashley's role here at the station. That's a
main role.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
Also secondary role is to act in crappy sketches.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
With us now being ben Ucy, we need a body double,
so you called Ashley down. Well, yeah, we got actually
down and you agreed you just had to sit there, right.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (35:23):
I didn't have to do anything because that was my
first question is what am I gonna have to do here?
Speaker 5 (35:27):
And you guys are late, You're.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
Like, what is this weird dungeon that you have pulled
me down to?
Speaker 5 (35:31):
We're like, sit there and it'll be fine.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
And then at the end of the sketch you were
going to knock over a coffee and we're like, we
can only do this once because we're gonna spill our mate.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
We're like, we can only do this once. And so
that was and you handed me the coffee and you
put it on the table. Now actually sitting there body
doubling Taylor Swift. She wasn't meant to be part of Idiots.
We're not even filming. We're not even filming. And then
for some reason we were just talking minutes ago, Like
sometimes you think, why am I making the decision? It
is just what a normal person would do. And I
(36:01):
decided to do a rehearsal. Well, I wasn't there.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
I was so exactly, you're rehearsal, rehearsing, just getting into
character full rehearsal too, Yeah, rehearsal, even though we can
only do it once, Like, oh, rehearsal.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
And I rehearsal and I went well, bang with the
coffee cup. And for some reason, you know when you
do something and you regret it immediately afterwards, it wasn't
even immediately afterwards. I was forgetting regretting it as it
was happening, like sixty percent into the action. I was like,
this is not a smart decision. So I wapped the
coffee cup for some reason, directly it Ashley full of coffee.
Speaker 5 (36:34):
Ashley, you were just sitting there. You got covered in coffee.
Speaker 12 (36:37):
Yeah, and unfortunately it decides we're a white top.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
I didn't realize it was a Ralph lurentop. I love it. Ralph,
like a lovely white, just like sprays in coffee.
Speaker 5 (36:49):
And you're so lovely.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
You're like, it's okay, it's okay. It's not okay.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
It's if it wasn't okay, but you were like, it's okay,
it's fine. I'll just go back to my desk. And
we're like, oh no, we can't have that happened. I
was like, take your top off, which is weird. Tops off,
the environments, run tops off. I'll take it to the
dry cleaner.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
Yeah, so I did. You're very kind. Well that's the
least I could do, really through coffee at It'll be
one of those wild industry rumors. They'll be like, did
you hear invited down just to throw a coffee in
her face to take a top off. We'd be like,
what he yeah. I didn't even play for the dry
cleaning absolute monster there guy, So yeah, that was yeah, sorry,
(37:32):
appreciate it's at the dry cleaners risky to I. So
you're wearing a white shirt today.
Speaker 13 (37:36):
I was like, let's try against it as I got
deprived of wearing my white top yesterday thanks to you
and your coffee.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
You only got three hours of that white top yesterday.
We are branded hits Top.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
Not radio all right, so we want you today to
make John I feel a little bit. I don't actually
feel better. Spill on your spillages. When you you had
a spillage, maybe it landed on you. Maybe you're the
ones spilling it.
Speaker 4 (37:57):
I know there'll be a lot of young waiters who
are new to the game who would have had some
shockers over the years. Love to get your calls on
New Zealand's Breakfast Next.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
The Heat's the johonaan Ben Podcast.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
What have you spelt on someone? Yeah? I had a
really shocking incident yesterday. We're filming something for social media purposes. Anyway,
long story short, I ended up throwing coffee at one
of our colleagues, actually all over a nice white Ralph
Lauren knit its top coffee everywhere. Bonus was she smelled
like a cafe. There's worse things to smell like. The
(38:27):
downside was she was sprayed, coffee exploded all over her.
And again I just I don't know what I was thinking.
I don't know. So many moments like those in my life.
We're like, what were you thinking? Mate? And then I
took it to that. I took it to the dry
cleaners because it's kind of like, well, that's the least
I could do. Walked into the dry cleaner Cain. The
door was shut, and I went, WHOA, tell you what
(38:48):
it is hot in here? Said this to the dry
You know there's dry. It's not a it's a very
tropical environment the dry cleaners. I would say I was
packing maybe high thirties, early forty degreeage in there. And
I said I was very hot in here. He said, no,
it's not. He got got quite quite defensive about the temperature.
I was like, oh, this is quite hot. You know,
(39:09):
I've come from a cold outside walked into here. It's
a very humid and hot. He's like, no perfect conditions.
And he's looking at his colleague and she say, I
can't see that. Every day he sees these are perfect conditions.
So yeah, managed to annoy two people yesterday the text
come through. I can't talk right now.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
But at twenty seven years ago we had our wedding,
had a whole lot of shocking things happened. Scaffolding around
the church the day before, which is not my ideal
for photos.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
They didn't tell them that they're putting scaffold.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
The vicar collapsed, they had to get on a seat,
he fainted again, dropped the rings, and then when the
reception was on, the best man has spilt a tray
of beer over the top of me as well. We
still laugh about her twenty seven years later. But a
whole lot of things now going on. Wedding was cursed
in some ways.
Speaker 4 (39:58):
They've done twenty seven good years. We're going to get
to Anna on the phone. How are you this morning? Anna?
Speaker 10 (40:03):
Hi?
Speaker 9 (40:04):
How are you guys?
Speaker 4 (40:04):
Yeah, we're doing well. Spill on your spillages. What happened?
Speaker 13 (40:08):
I had all the kids in the back seat lined
up with the McDonald's pancakes, ready to hit the road
under the maple syrup, just about to hand it to them.
Hands spazzes maple syrup everywhere all over the centeconsole. Nothing
to clean it up with other than my jersey and
a water bottle.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
So sticky maple syrup when it gets but heat applied
to it from the sun.
Speaker 6 (40:30):
Oh yeah, we're still finding it like months later.
Speaker 4 (40:34):
That's a lick it off scenario.
Speaker 13 (40:38):
Hand.
Speaker 6 (40:38):
But it was like, you know what, usually you have
the whites of the cart, not a white, not a
tissue anywhere.
Speaker 13 (40:44):
Use the old jersey and the water bottle to get
it before it's stuck quite concrete.
Speaker 4 (40:48):
Yeah, I did that to the steering wheel once. He
had to lick something off the ste What do you
think that's the I had to go hawked, you know.
Speaker 5 (41:00):
I spent on that day.
Speaker 4 (41:04):
And then kind of because all I had was my top,
So I was like, wow, the only option is to
look at so you never want to see. You don't
even want anyone catching your sucking on a steering steering wheels. Yeah,
you know, appreciate your your call in her. Have you
done spillages been?
Speaker 3 (41:21):
I've had something spelt on me at a restaurant many
years ago. We went to one of those restaurants, you know,
they had that Karen's Diner here recently in New Zealand
where the staff would kind of it was part of
the thing. They kind of give you grief that abuse
you in some ways, but a funny way years ago
as a restaurant like that, and the lady was really funny,
just the whole time, just giving us total grief, all
sorts of stuff.
Speaker 4 (41:41):
And then she accidentally spooked whine all over me. I
wasn't part of the act.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
No, it wasn't part of that because the actor suddenly stopped.
She was like, oh, I'm so sorry, sorry, sorry about that,
quietly going to get in the top, going to pay
for this.
Speaker 5 (41:54):
And I was like, oh, she's really changed, but that's.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
The risk when you want to run a novelty restaurant
looking like a bumbling waiter.
Speaker 3 (42:02):
I was like, Wow, she's really committed to this role
with red white everywhere. I thought it was quite funny,
but very inconvenient.
Speaker 4 (42:08):
I did that same as a way to split a
whole tray of champagne over a lady. The whole sop
swapping with out the races too, the ellersly races. It's
all right, it's all right, it's not all right, never
all right. Actually was saying the same thing you say,
it's Okay.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
It's okay, it's not the hits that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (42:27):
Of course, before we were running the twenty thousand dollars
bounty here at the Hats, we were sending someone to
the iHeartRadio Music Festival and a place in Nevada, a
very famous place with the casinos.
Speaker 5 (42:37):
So that I'm now scared that we've been pronouncing wrong.
Speaker 4 (42:39):
For a number of weeks and probably all throughout our career,
to be honest. Yeah, we had a complaint, one complainant,
but about eight or nine texts sent through I'll read
it verbatim, irritating this particular individual, this particular about how
we pronounce Las Vegas. Your promo for a trip to
Las Vegas. Note it's las Las Vegas and capitals as
(43:00):
an lassie, Lasagna, lasso and any other ass words you
can think of with an owl at the start. So
we just opened up the debate, you know, words that
irritate you. But many people have jumped on board this
whole Las Vegas Las Vegas situation. Cody from Idaho said
I lived over there, never once said lass.
Speaker 5 (43:19):
So we thought, well, should we go directly to Yeah,
we will.
Speaker 4 (43:22):
Go straight to the sauce but before we do, Mike,
good tar of you on the show. Hey, how are
you you wanting to bring a big name into the argument?
Speaker 11 (43:30):
Yeah, Viva las Vegas by Elvis, right, so that'll sort
it out.
Speaker 4 (43:38):
Elvis recorded it. It's not a catchy song that's ever
Listen what's he saying? Lass or loss? Elvis's loss all day.
Speaker 11 (43:50):
Yeah, something really strange has just happened. All my clothes
just fell off me.
Speaker 3 (43:57):
That's what happens when almost second they just explode straight
off your.
Speaker 4 (44:01):
Body, don't they.
Speaker 11 (44:04):
Hey, here's another one for you, another one, this one
for you. Here is another one Barcelona or bon Slona.
Speaker 4 (44:15):
Oh yeah, they like.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
I stick the tongue out after the Yeah. All right,
well that's the debate we need to give in to
make for another day. We appreciate that though. I mean,
we're going to listen to the word of the king.
Speaker 4 (44:28):
Oh, I mean yeah, he's a pretty reputable kind of guy,
Elvis Prisley. But we can go straight to the heart
because you know, times changed, don't know, since the retorting
of Viva Las Vegas, people become woke, been woke culture,
so maybe things might have changed. You're right, So we're
going to go through to Well, we're the Little White
Winning Chapel.
Speaker 3 (44:47):
Yeah, the famous, iconic little chapel in Vegas that people
get the quick weddings.
Speaker 10 (44:57):

Good? Sorry, I'm talking to you like a four year
old child. I feel like that our action is quite
hard to understand.
Speaker 2 (45:42):
That's okay.
Speaker 9 (45:43):
How can I help you?
Speaker 3 (45:44):
Just one question and one question only? Is it Las
Vegas or Las Vegas? We're having no less or loss. Sorry,
we're having a big debate. How do you pronounce it?
Speaker 2 (45:53):
It's a last Vegas lost.
Speaker 4 (45:55):
This is the official word from Las Vegas. Because we've
been saying Las Vegas and then we got we keep
getting complaints going it's Las Vegas.
Speaker 2 (46:04):
No, it is Las Vegas, Las Vegas.
Speaker 4 (46:06):
Okay, all right?
Speaker 3 (46:07):
And how much to get married? That's my second question.
I said one question, but now I'm tempted.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
Our packages depend on the venues. So for example, our
little white Chapel, pink Cadillac, and Gazebel all come to
two hundred and forty nine dollars and ninety cents. Wow,
the minister fee and.
Speaker 4 (46:26):
Taxes, that's reasonable. Most famous person you've had get married there?
Speaker 2 (46:32):
Oh gosh, there's so many. I would probably say Britney
Spears or Jennifer Lopez.
Speaker 4 (46:37):
Oh well, that's pretty good with fard of that in
New Zealand, big names, big names. Well listen, we pass
on our gods. You have a great day. Pass on
our gods to Elvis, possible to someone you have a
great day.

Speaker 4 (46:51):
Here we go Las Vegas. Yeah, got so case closed.
Speaker 1 (46:56):
Yes, the hits that Jona wan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (47:00):
Alternate uses for products your son is rocking and neck
tie is a belt?
Speaker 4 (47:05):
Yeah, genius. There are many alternates alternatives for abouts. Great
text here for four eight seven. When I was a posty,
I had a customer come out of their house and
asked me for some rubber bands so he could tie
his pants. Oh okay, so he's come out of his house. Yeah,
surely there's.
Speaker 5 (47:24):
Stuff and I don't know, maybe he was looking for
rubber bands.
Speaker 4 (47:27):
Disparerent measures. If you're going out to ask the posty
for rubber bands, so I suppose you could use to
loop around and stuff, bring them together, bring the two. Yeah.
You could do that with cable ties as well, couldn't you.
That's true annoying if you do need to go because
you've kind of locked like a chestedy sort of situation,
isn't it locked into your pants? Yeah? But alternate uses
for products items. Let's go to Naomi. Good morning, Welcome
(47:49):
to New Zealand's breakfast. Naomi, good morning, lovely to have
you on this morning. What are we talking here? Mate?
Speaker 13 (47:56):
Was?
Speaker 4 (47:56):
Actually I know what we're talking with been mentioned the
microwave plate that he pulls out with wheels and uses
it as a lazy Susan.
Speaker 12 (48:03):
Yeah, yeah, so we use we use it for board games.
So as we're all getting a wee bit older, we're
getting a bit of myopics. So the whole idea is
to turn it around towards you so you don't have
to upset any of the bits on the border. And
it works really well.
Speaker 4 (48:18):
Genius. So you're like Monopoly, you can just sing you
want to see what you were riding and sure, that
is a great hack. That's a great hack. I'll tell
you that one. Yeah. No, do you play do you
still play Monopoly with the family? Do you?
Speaker 7 (48:32):
Oh?
Speaker 12 (48:33):
Avoid Monopoly? Awe, But I have to say, because it
can cause all sorts of risks in the family structure.
Scrabble and we play I can't remember the other thing
with the four We all get into into groups and
you've got cards as well as discs, and you had
(48:54):
to get five in a row sequence.
Speaker 4 (48:57):
Yeah, yeah, no, I we played Monopoly recent just all
out bickering, just for four or five hours. It was
a really brings out.
Speaker 12 (49:05):
The best of people recently, thinking that that would be
quite quite cheerful.
Speaker 5 (49:11):
But your coin, your.
Speaker 4 (49:19):
Now, this is a great one too. He couldn't come on,
are he's working, but he said, my mum used a
carrot and vasselline. There's a foot messager for her sore
feet and ankles. So she have a couple of big carrots,
bird massive carrots and some vasseline under her bed in
(49:40):
case you got foot cramps in the night. I don't
know how you end up with carrots and vaseline. You're like,
if it were, it works the magical foot messager. I mean,
if if you came into my bedroom, I'm like, hey,
excuse the carrots and vesseline under the bed. There you go.
(50:00):
I'm like, I use them as a foot master. And
you're like, okay, whatever I wanted to judge, No need
to judge.
Speaker 5 (50:06):
So I gond appreciate your calls and your tics
Speaker 1 (50:09):
The hits that Jhonaan Ben Podcast
With the John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Cheers to Delmark making the world a bitter tea.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
The Olympics. So that's finished a couple of days ago
and last Wednesday. Actually nothing to do with the Olympics,
and I even mentioned the Olympics. Absolutely no coincidence whatsoever.
We had our own torch ceremony.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
There was a class of scheduling that they had a
torch ceremony and we had a torch ceremony. I mean,
we sent them the calendar invite. You would have thought
they would have adjusted accordingly.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
But doctor Gerrae and Snoop and read Hot Chili Peppers
and Stafy, they had their thing.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
You know, we did our own thing. Yeah, we we
We're not all the show residents. We just stated this
is New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
We had a dolphin torch and just your you know,
your dolphin torch that you'd see in your cupboard or
a campsite or wherever around the country.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
We got one of those.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
What is it called a dolphin Whatever dolphins got to
do with batteries? Are we chucking them in the ocean
and they love it? Seems like I.
Speaker 5 (00:53):
Would leave me to believe that was waterproof.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
It was a dolphin.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
But I don't know if it is.
Speaker 4 (00:58):
Dolphins and batteries have no connection in my mind. Maybe
someone listening might know what the correlation is there.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
Very remarkable, Torch. Can I just say that? Because on
Wednesday we put it on and we thought by the
end of the week the batteries would run out. That's
what we were thinking.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Maybe it's like dolphins, they just keep going, they're just swimming,
they're never stopping.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
And we don't know how old the batteries were, so
we thought it'll be gone in a couple of days.
And you could basically predict on the hats breakfast on
Facebook when the batteries would run out. The closest ones
of the time the batteries actually run out would win
five hundred dollars. But this thing is still gone.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Still going. Yeah, So you've taken it home for a
couple of days. I've tended and cared for it like
a newborn child. I wrapped it up, swaddled it, fed
it nutrients from my bosom to keep it going. But
last night we left it with the security here in
the building.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
So is it still going?
Speaker 4 (01:46):
We haven't checked in on We're going to go call Gunjuan,
head of security, never asked. It's already got a torch.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
He's got he's got a well with a disco setting,
so he didn't need this torch. He's been sitting under
the desk here reception.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
So overnight we've had security obviously looking after it and
if I dold the wrong number, oh no, it should
be gone through. It felt like you feel like it
was ringing and then it stopped ringing. Great radio.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
That is life radio again.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
We're going to sit here and pay for time. Talk
more about the well. It's called a dolphin.
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Yeah, so overnight, maybe it's switched off, and if it
has switched off, hopefully the overnight security guard was the
memo was passed on that they had to keep an
eye at what time it was, because people have been
entering at the top on Facebook as to what time
hid John you baby, I'm good, I'm good. How are you?
(02:49):
We're doing all right. We're on the radio right now.
Speaker 5 (02:51):
We just wanted to know our torch, the dolphin.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
How's it going?
Speaker 6 (02:55):
It's still on?
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Still still on?
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Is it looking?
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Is it looking any less bright than when it was
handed over to you? On the official passing the torch
ceremony yesterday, Gunjan No.
Speaker 7 (03:06):
It's same, looks same, exactly, relentless.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
I think this thing is just running on stubbornness.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
I know, all right, well, you know what to do
if it runs out at any stage or anyone else
in your security team notice it runs out, let us
know exactly the time it runs out.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
I've told them that any any trouble this morning, Gun John,
what's been happening out there?
Speaker 7 (03:26):
No nothing, nothing, everything.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Everything under control in the trenches. All right, thank you
so much, Gun John, appreciate it.
Speaker 7 (03:34):
You have a thank you, Thank you team.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I feel like we've really just like it was our burden.
We've burned something like our whole security team.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Because I think we're both going on. This thing's never
going to end. Because there was we have called an
experts crisis. Meetings were held and there was talking there
if it was led powered or something that you know,
seven years better. Some people go on in the building
like there'll be some sort of what happened while were
you their security?
Speaker 5 (04:00):
We'll keep it nine a torch because.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
The LA Olympics twenty twenty eight, yeah, surobably still going
gone by there. You can still we do it.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
The Hats Breakfast on Facebook. You can win five hundred
dollars whenever this torch goes out. As John I said before,
the America's Cup joins us in ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Time in the studio the hits that Jonavan Ben Podcast.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron and Toyter New Zealand. They're
taking the America's Cup, the extra trophy around the country.
You can catch it as it goes from the top
of the North to the deep South and to tell
us more about it from the Royal New Zealand Yacht
Squadron as David Blakeley, good morning.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
How are you good? Thank you lovely, lovely to have
you in here. You and and the America's Cup. We
can't still saying it's a lot bigger than you think
it would be.
Speaker 7 (04:41):
It is.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
No one's there to me.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Do you find that people do say that about the
America's Cup they're surprised with the size of it.
Speaker 8 (04:47):
Everybody says that, yeah, yeah, it is a spectacular trophy.
Speaker 5 (04:51):
It is I would say the size of a what
a four or five year old kid?
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Yeah, but if you want to use the child measurement system, yeah,
for a five year old kid. Yeah, so how heavy
is it?
Speaker 8 (05:00):
Because seventeen kilos oldest trophy in sport over one hundred
and seventy years ago.
Speaker 4 (05:05):
Wow. Is really it's a sight to behold and you're
going to be taking it around the country, that's right.
Speaker 8 (05:11):
So we're our friends from Toyota, New Zealand. We're taking
it to forty destinations around the country, from Kitty Kitty
in the north to Icargo in the south, visiting sailing clubs, schools.
Toyota stores the length and breedge to the country.
Speaker 5 (05:23):
That's very coose so people can get up close to
it and get a photo.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Awesome, Now you got you got a wonderful gentleman here
with white gloves on. Now you're it's his job to
carry it round.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
That's norm normally norm, it's normal. Is he a safe
pair of hands?
Speaker 8 (05:36):
Norm? Norm is a very safe.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
Hasn't dropped it? Evan dropped it once yet?
Speaker 4 (05:41):
No?
Speaker 5 (05:41):
Yeah, I measure a huge responsibility for you.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Normal normal, normal, It's like you could kill a man.
Don't message the cap well and yeah, many people will
be aware that it's not going to be held in
New Zealand this time. Whereabouts is the next America's Cup.
Speaker 8 (05:55):
The next America's Cup is in Barcelona.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Isn't what? They take it to Barcelona?
Speaker 8 (06:00):
Yeah, because Barcelona offered to host it for us, and
by doing that, the team was able to raise enough
money to be able to hopefully successfully defend it. Nice,
So that's a little bit different this time. So this
is effectively the Cup going on. It's oe and we're
doing something.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Different, but it's still a home race for us.
Speaker 8 (06:16):
We are still defending it.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
And so are there new teams, new countries entering this
America's Cup that haven't been there previously.
Speaker 8 (06:23):
Yes, there are. So there's teams from France before, Swiss
are back with a they had a linger. Yeah, And
what is different this time is they're brought in the
muscle of some of the Formula One teams and Lingy
have so they've got the Red Bull Formula one team
in the have brought in the Mercedes Formula One team,
so they're putting enormous resource and horsepower and Team New
(06:46):
Zealand are working incredibly hard so make sure that they
can do.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
Because it's changed so much over I remember, you know,
the early times that I would watch it with the
boats would seem to go out.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
I felt like they're out there for days.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Probably wasn't. But now they've gone missing for six hours.
We'll find out who wins.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
They're jovings, But now it's like Formula one on water,
isn't it. They had the little trampoline thing they had,
but one stage pedaling with their feet and legs as well.
It's so many innovations have happened over the last few years.
Speaker 8 (07:11):
And the cycles are back this time. But what will
be unique this time is the event will be literally
sailed off the beach in Barcelona.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Is it going to be fast? How much faster can go?
Speaker 8 (07:21):
Well, the feedback we're getting is a lot.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Faster than last America.
Speaker 8 (07:25):
Is a lot faster than the last America.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Because there's always a secrecy too, because no one wants
to have sort of played their hand too early. And
the technology and stuffy, So how does all that happen?
Do they sort of sail when other people aren't watching, or.
Speaker 8 (07:36):
As I say, a lot of the technology and the
sophistication is what we can't see. It's inside the boats.
They can only build a certain number of foils, but
they'll all be careful. There's actually the preliminary regatt for
the America's Cup starts at the end of this month,
and that will be the first time that we'll see
all the boats racing together and actually start to get
a feel for who's fast and who's not.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
And so do they look to like Olympic athletes and things,
because like, if you've got cyclists, we're just won gold
multiple times the women did in France.
Speaker 8 (08:04):
That's right. In fact, you to New Zealand has ex
Olympic cyclaws in their team.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Do we have a big hand in making the rules
for this America's Cup given that we're the current cup holders.
Speaker 8 (08:14):
We do, but we have to agree with with what
they call a challenger of record, right, which is a
club that acts on behalf of the challenging clubs, and
in this case it's the Royal Yacht Squadron out of England.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Because I'd be like, hey, by the way, no formula one, dudes,
want to keep those in and aloud and you get
you'd start five minutes after we start, I don't.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
Oh, well, thank you so much for bringing that. And
it's really an honor. They have America's Company yourself in
the studio. Where can people if they want to see it.
As you say, it's going from the top of the
North to the bottom of the south. How can they
find out where it's going to be.
Speaker 8 (08:45):
Yeah, the best place to go is our website which
is Keywi cup dot co dot enz and that has
all the details for the trip.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Would he nite me to get the old silvo out
on that thing and a whole bottle for polishing job?
Speaker 9 (08:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Really remarkable, So you definitely go see this thing. You
have a photo with it before it heads off. When
does it go overseas?
Speaker 8 (09:04):
It goes to Barcelona towards end of September.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
Yeah, carry on luggage first class, first class.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
I can imagine it would be first class. We've got
a first class bock. Well, thank you so much for
coming in. We really appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (09:14):

get particularly a Disney one up in the past, got
swept up in the Disney dominoes. This time, I've bought
their little collector's album that I can try and collect
my one hundred and eight. Didn't realize it was one
hundred and eight cards until I bought the album. There's
a lot of pages, but that's my commitment to collecting cards.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
The first step to recovery Ben is admitting you have
a problem. You've the dominoes, You've got, You've got swepped
up in the little shops, the little gardens. Yeah, those
weird those. You've already got Disney cars that you put
in a viewfinder thing. What was that was that? Disney characters?
Speaker 5 (10:04):
There's there's been a lot you've got.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
If the collections have you been a part of, Yeah,
a few, a few, but that's been new one.
Speaker 10 (10:11):
I move on.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
You move on to a new collection that gives you,
gives your life some purpose.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Do you know there are I can't think of any
worse vices out there than Bend's one. But one of
the greatest humanitarian acts I think I've ever been a
part of is when you go to the supermarket and
it happened to be on the weekend and they're like,
are you collecting the stickers? The stickers that are like
the size of a baby, and you know those ones.
I was like, listen, no, I'm not. And then what
(10:36):
I like to do? Give it to the next person?
Oh my god, I feel like a million times and
they are like, I owe you. I will name my
next born child after you. You know, the lack of
gratitude and it makes you feel So it's the same
with these things.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
If you get the cards and then if you'll give
it to this person.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
They are just like forever and you're in debt.
Speaker 11 (10:57):
Ah.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
Yeah, so collection crazy? Have you been part of collection craziness?
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Do you do?
Speaker 4 (11:04):

Speaker 6 (11:35):
Worst ones, so we've done the bricks, the dominoes, the cards,
and that is the thing that is.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
The hook that these conglomerates they know, they know what's
any human it's a natural humanation. Once you start a collection,
you need to collection. That's what they get you. You're right,
they know how we're.
Speaker 6 (11:53):

In that situation. I had kind of bit of quite well,
I don't want to come on here and boast or anything.
But that's what the radio is for, doesn't it self indulgence.
(19:26):
I was driving along the road. It was when we're
having a year overseas and we're having a holiday. This
lady she ran out in the middle of rune. She's
hysterical and cry stop the car. It was like a
four lane road. I was look a lot of traffic
and You're like, what's going on here? Because I have
pulled over for people previously been remember that loving I
pulled over. She looked like she hadn't she hadn't blinked
(19:48):
in about three years, and you ended up taking it
to her. She's like, I'm late for my district corn appearance.
I'm like, I was just down the road from the
radio station. I was due for our afternoon radio show.
I was like, oh, I sucked up the big ones.
I was like, oh, but I'll take you to court.
Speaker 5 (20:01):

And we're about sort of three minutes into the trip.
She's like, you know what I could go. We could
go Windy's. I was like, you just do that for
I was like, okay, I guess we can take you
the Windys. You can't go to court on an empty start.
You don't know how long that's gonna be. Yeah, And
I mean if you're going away for a long time,
then you want to have a you know, a last meal.
So I took it the Windy's drive through and then
I was like, we need to go to court and
she's like, oh, no, it makes you fine. I'm fine now.
(20:25):
So you would have thought I would have looted my
lessons son. You know, there's lady, she's hysterical, crying, crying,
and she's going, my baby, my baby, my baby, and
I'm like, oh, because I poppy my daughter in the
car and she's like, come into the house, come in
to the house, and so I pulled over. Was like, Poppy,
are gonna have to wait here? I don't know what
because you don't know what you walk into when someone's
saying my baby, my baby, and my baby, and I'm
(20:46):
low key going, I have no skills to do anything here.
I can't you know. It's like when the car breaks
down and I'll walk up to try and help someone
with the broken down carry like I can't help you
today it looked like so they I walk up and
so what had happens? Thank god, nothing serious? Her baby
had somehow she'd gone to hang out the washing and
her baby had locked itself inside the house. But it
(21:09):
was a two story house, so she couldn't climb up
and get in. There was a little window open, and
so I was like, oh, okay, you know, I'll try
and climb. And I was like, hell's this weird.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
White ball man's climbing in the window to see a
baby inside.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
The baby is like steering at me. I'm like, hello,
little baby. Like when you don't have babies, you forget
how to talk to babies. Baby, you don't know the baby,
baby's steering at me, going dangling, hello, little baby. I'm like, listen,
mummy's just in there. I'm just going to climb in,
and the baby's like anyway, climbed in, picked up the baby,
(21:45):
and the babies like, please don't pick me up, screaming
and yelling and okay, win a letter in the door.
So that was thank god, it was anything serious. But
you know, when you're in that situation, from her point
of view, like there's nothing, she was obviously just panicacked.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Oh totally a very very stresful sense. So that's how
we were to handle it. Hey, next, well how am
I going to handle it? John is going to call
a reception. He's going to send me out of the room,
and you're going to basically put a message out for
me at the reception, leave a message for me.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
I don't know what the message. We're going to go
to a medical laboratory because Megan, who's uh, you know
you wonderfully usually here on the show, wonderfully usually just
begging words out of it. She's got COVID, So it's
a COVID themed one.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Oh god, Okay, well it's going to happen next and
it's wonderfully usually she's.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
Wonderfully usually here the heads that Jona Wan Ben podcast, I.
Speaker 5 (22:33):
Do this from time and time. We got it reception reception.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Realize that we don't have anyone that can take a
message for us on a reception anywhere, right, yeah, well we.
Speaker 4 (22:41):
Haven't reached that stage of the corporate letter, have we.
I don't know what stage is that? Middle management? You're
people taking messages?
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Maybe yeah, So we thought, well, it would have been
interesting if we had a receptionist that could take a
message for us, but maybe not from the company we
work for.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
Just a receptionist.
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Would they take that message for.
Speaker 4 (22:57):
Us and pass it on utilize other people's resources? Now Megan,
who's wonderfully usually here, she's away with COVID. She feels
like it's going out for another blast, doesn't it COVID
going for another round trip at the moment. So I
thought we'd to kind of play in that field, Ben.
So what I'll do is I'll get you to leave
the room and I will leave a message for you
(23:19):
with this reception.
Speaker 5 (23:20):
So just a random reception someone and you don't know me,
I'm guessing.
Speaker 4 (23:23):
No, they don't, and you won't know the exact details
of the message, so you go out. Okay, so you
don't know what you're retrieving, and I'm going to do
all the number here. Good luck. Hi, Tina, how are
(23:46):
you good?
Speaker 13 (23:47):
How are you?
Speaker 4 (23:48):
I just got a message to pass on for Ben Ben. Okay,
it's Dr s Lee's Zoomfield calling from the clinic that
he visited.
Speaker 9 (23:56):
Now.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
He just got his test results back in. The good
news is he hasn't tested positive for COVID, but he
has tested positive for undeniable sexiness.
Speaker 10 (24:11):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (24:12):
We've had reports of people, clusters of people walking past
Ben and their and their clothes just explode off. So
I don't know if the government, the government of all
the community aren't equipped for this amount of sexiness from.
Speaker 5 (24:29):
Ben obviously not well.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
We need to lock him up. We do need to
lock him up. We need to lock his perfectly formed,
toned and tandebleach. We need he needs to go into isolation. Okay, Okay, Tina,
thank you, Tina. Okay. Ben boys back and from the
Soundproof producers, Bruth, welcome back. That was quick. It was quick,

Speaker 4 (25:35):
Tina. This is my doctor to tell him that he've
tested positive for six We're talking to John O and
Ben from the Hurts radio station.
Speaker 5 (25:47):
You are kidding, Tina.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
All you needed to do was say he had tested
positive for six y us. We can't let the sixtiness
get out of the community. The best laugh I think
we were on the show from Tina. What a great laugh.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
Spot on the line.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
And that's so good. Hey, next the.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Hits that jonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 4 (26:13):
We've had a complaint. Let's come through to the text
machine now. It was in relation to a competition we're running.
Last week. We were giving you a chance to win
a trip to the iHeartRadio Festival with Stule Liper and
all the all the things in Las Vegas. Now we
were saying Las Vegas Las Vegas, Las Vegas for three
or four weeks as we're putting people in this magnificent
(26:33):
trip in the draw for it, and the text reads, okay,
dear Johonovan Ben's are definitely zeroing in on us now
on the show, thinking it could be all the shows,
but just your current promotion for a trip to Las Vegas.
That's the headline. Note las in Capital's las Las Vegas,
as in Lassie Lasagna, Las Sue. Hasn't any other ass
(26:55):
word you can think of, well an owl at the
start of it, So please be thinking of any s
when you're on here, and please say Las Vegas, not
Las Vegas.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
It's probably quite true when you think about some reason
we just maybe because of Los Angeles or something like that.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
You kind of say, but this is obviously the one
word that winds this person, and everyone has one, and
we've gone say it and they say it wrong. It
winds yups and more. We have this sounds like a
bond villain, this guy that we always refer to on YouTube,
and he's gone through every word in the English language
and how to annunciate it and how to pronounce it.
He listen to him.
Speaker 14 (27:31):
We are looking at how to pronounce the name of
the city located in the state of Nevada. In Spanish,
he said has Las Vegas, las Vegas with a B sound. However,
in the US and English this is said as Las
Vegas plus.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
Vegas planted even nuclear bob under the building the time
it has twenty four hours. But yeah, las Vegas las
Vegas is hey mean to say with a beat.
Speaker 15 (28:02):
That feels like it's going to wind more people be
if I go around doing that. Some of them, Yeah,
so this is what we want this morning. Words that
winds you up? I wait, hundred hits the telephone number
you can text four four eight.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
My dad would always get enough set mentioned this before.
Was he'd always think of it his school teacher, so
he'd always think of things geographically. So but I wouldn't either.
So I'd just be going, I'm going down to this place.
So I'm going and I'm just whipping down to and
he was go up or you know, it was it
was up, You're going up, you're here, and that's up.
That's the directions up and be like, oh, I haven't.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
It was just like I don't care.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
I don't care, but I wouldn't care because technically I was.
I was going up, Like you know, if I was
in Auckland, I'll be going, I'm going, I'm going down
to Russell up up, it's.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Up in the north. And my wife to know when
she listens to this radio show and it's just this show, Yeah,
this show. When I say to every call, I love
your work. That why that really irritates you. She's like,
you can't love everyone's you don't even know what the
work is. That's a good point. I ran into a
guy who had a electronic bracelet on ankle bracelet on
(29:11):
the other week, and I didn't know how to in
the conversation. I was just chatting with him and is
I was like, I love your work, mate, and then
I was looking away, go do what I was working. Yeah,
he's just got out of prison, so whatever his work was,
he was good at it. He was good at it
good in places.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
One of the things that winds you up, the hat's
the one word that winds you out four four eight,
A phrase the six could be a phrase your boy.
When people say it's your boy and they don't really
sound like they should be saying your boy, but your girl.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
That winds me up. But what winds you up next?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
The hits that jonaan Ben podcast now being you thought
you wed a heck but you've been out and hacked
by your wife.
Speaker 3 (29:46):
Well yeah, the older you know, I get you're probably
the same the more you work out, you're like man

went to christ you the other day when we were
there for the Alpha Quiz that night and I was
twining moments. She's like, you're an eccentric character. She's and
then coming from a lady who's lived a lot of life,
and she said, you're very eccentric, and I was like,
(30:13):
I think I'm normal. You know, you think yourself and
your actions and what you do and the decision you
make a completely normal But they do other people they're like,
this is weird.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
So they are two things for the story. One, as
you know, sorry Terry and me we've got no bestin's
working together. Like I turned sorry off my phone. I
don't want my phone listening.
Speaker 4 (30:30):
To be Have you got one of those things in
your house the Alexa.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
That listens to and one of my daughters has one
of those type things. But I keep telling you unplugging
all the time doesn't even know of a conversation. I'd
be like, I plug aleixa over a second time.
Speaker 4 (30:44):
Yeah, you're running a meth house. Plugged that, mate, Have
you got a wire?
Speaker 3 (30:57):
I wanted to ask, all right, plug it again. Will
not be hearing a word out of me, sia myself
when the other thing is. For some reason, I decided
I didn't want to sleep next to the phone. So yeah,
we got our room renovated a while ago, and there's
no drive wife crazy because there's no plugs by the bea,
there's no physical way you could plug anything.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
And next to the bit, because you were like, well,
I don't need to plug anything next the bit. Next
whatever's Gama raised for the phone. So we've got a little.
Speaker 5 (31:26):
Bathroom just off the beddream so that's where the phones
get plugged in it.
Speaker 4 (31:30):
His decision was not plugs in the wall. That's really inconvenient. Cool.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
Now she's like, why I mean this plugs in the wall,
just not directly lamp, and she gets really yeah, anyway,
so yeah, like why did I do this?
Speaker 4 (31:43):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
But anyway, now where the phones go into the little
bathroom next to the bedroom. But I think it's really
good because the alarm goes off in the morning, there's
no you can't snooze.
Speaker 4 (31:52):
You're just straight up turning the alarm offah, which is
pivotal for the hours that we usually get the day,
because my wife will probably and I think your wife's
the same. She could she probably want to snooze a
couple of times and just gaze into the day. But
I'm like, no, just get into it. I'm with you.
I am fully. Since I hear the bing bang out
of bed.
Speaker 3 (32:11):
What's no point snoozing. I mean, there's no no good
can come from it's right, You've got to get her. Otherwise,
give yourself ten more extra minutes if you've got that
time until your alarm.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Goes And I almost like, what's another five minutes going
to do? It's not going to add any more energy
to me.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
So either weekend, I'd already got up, but he dub
my thing and my wife had to get up. She
was going to take one of my daughter's to nipball,
and I heard her alarm go off in the bathroom
and I was like, oh, should be up. She'd be
at them she'll be off to turn this alarm off,
and then I hear the noise Siri stop, Siri stop.
I'm like, oh my goodness. She can lie in bed
and she can say to Siri, who I don't have
(32:46):
any place stealing relationship.
Speaker 4 (32:49):
I don't know about that. I don't know that Siri.
And then their love stopped, and.
Speaker 5 (32:54):
Oh my goodness she is she is how hack to
my heck?
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Just serious?
Speaker 5 (33:00):
So sorry, now turns off her alarm and the whole
point of the get up and at.
Speaker 4 (33:04):
Him on the day. Then's why you put the plugs
in the to get the family up here.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
So anyway, so she's great.
Speaker 5 (33:11):
I was actually quite oppressed by.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
She didn't get out.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
She had an extraus nose went off and the way
she went, oh wow, yeah, so well done.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
She was another lady in your relationship. Sorry quick coming
between you and your wife. Next, absolute shocker I had
at work yesterday. It wasn't it a shocker? You can
we can we bring the person in poor Ashley? Oh
my god? They were it was yeah, it was bad.
It was bad, and it's a Ralph lurine one on
(33:44):
what happened? We'll tell you next.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
The hits that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
The afternoon next yesterday, we were filming a little something
before the Hits Bounty with John.
Speaker 4 (33:53):
Here's some social media content. That's what you've got to
do nowadays. There's multi layers world. We live in there bo,
So we filmed like a little sketch where we were
detectives good cop, bad cop, and we were sort of investigating,
interrogating the suspects who are the musical artists.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
You can see what we've done because that is the bounty.
We're searching for these artists. I've got a reward. So
that's all we were doing. Well dressed as cops were
and some sort of weird dingy little room downstairs.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
It work. Yeah, it's like very good, very sweet shopping vibes.
It's like, I don't know what it is. There's like cages,
there's like pumps pumping things. There was a lady once
we went down there once, a lady eating her lunch
and a cooked lunch, full cooks lunch, just sitting there
by yourself. The last questions, I don't know what it's
all going. Word, No, what is this? What is happening
in this room at the T move factory? Look good?
Speaker 5 (34:40):
Though look good for what we were needed for filming.
Speaker 3 (34:41):
So we were, as you say, interrogating these artists and
we were using people around the officer's silhouettes for the artists.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
Yeah, because, believe it or not, we couldn't get Taylor
Swift down to our weird, weird cage on some world
tour or something, so we needed someone to body double
for Taylor Swift. Now, this is where the wonderful Ashley
Bryce Esleie Bryce CEO of Music, CEO of Music, Bryce
of Music on the hits, all the songs you hear
actually has a huge part and putting them on the radio.
(35:10):
So that's Ashley's role here at the station. That's a
main role.
Speaker 5 (35:13):
Also secondary role is to act in crappy sketches.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
With us now being ben Ucy, we need a body double,
so you called Ashley down. Well, yeah, we got actually
down and you agreed you just had to sit there, right.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (35:23):
I didn't have to do anything because that was my
first question is what am I gonna have to do here?
Speaker 5 (35:27):
And you guys are late, You're.
Speaker 4 (35:28):
Like, what is this weird dungeon that you have pulled
me down to?
Speaker 5 (35:31):
We're like, sit there and it'll be fine.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
And then at the end of the sketch you were
going to knock over a coffee and we're like, we
can only do this once because we're gonna spill our mate.
Speaker 4 (35:40):
We're like, we can only do this once. And so
that was and you handed me the coffee and you
put it on the table. Now actually sitting there body
doubling Taylor Swift. She wasn't meant to be part of Idiots.
We're not even filming. We're not even filming. And then
for some reason we were just talking minutes ago, Like
sometimes you think, why am I making the decision? It
is just what a normal person would do. And I
(36:01):
decided to do a rehearsal. Well, I wasn't there.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
I was so exactly, you're rehearsal, rehearsing, just getting into
character full rehearsal too, Yeah, rehearsal, even though we can
only do it once, Like, oh, rehearsal.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
And I rehearsal and I went well, bang with the
coffee cup. And for some reason, you know when you
do something and you regret it immediately afterwards, it wasn't
even immediately afterwards. I was forgetting regretting it as it
was happening, like sixty percent into the action. I was like,
this is not a smart decision. So I wapped the
coffee cup for some reason, directly it Ashley full of coffee.
Speaker 5 (36:34):
Ashley, you were just sitting there. You got covered in coffee.
Speaker 12 (36:37):
Yeah, and unfortunately it decides we're a white top.
Speaker 4 (36:40):
I didn't realize it was a Ralph lurentop. I love it. Ralph,
like a lovely white, just like sprays in coffee.
Speaker 5 (36:49):
And you're so lovely.
Speaker 4 (36:50):
You're like, it's okay, it's okay. It's not okay.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
It's if it wasn't okay, but you were like, it's okay,
it's fine. I'll just go back to my desk. And
we're like, oh no, we can't have that happened. I
was like, take your top off, which is weird. Tops off,
the environments, run tops off. I'll take it to the
dry cleaner.
Speaker 4 (37:09):
Yeah, so I did. You're very kind. Well that's the
least I could do, really through coffee at It'll be
one of those wild industry rumors. They'll be like, did
you hear invited down just to throw a coffee in
her face to take a top off. We'd be like,
what he yeah. I didn't even play for the dry
cleaning absolute monster there guy, So yeah, that was yeah, sorry,
(37:32):
appreciate it's at the dry cleaners risky to I. So
you're wearing a white shirt today.
Speaker 13 (37:36):
I was like, let's try against it as I got
deprived of wearing my white top yesterday thanks to you
and your coffee.
Speaker 4 (37:41):
You only got three hours of that white top yesterday.
We are branded hits Top.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
Not radio all right, so we want you today to
make John I feel a little bit. I don't actually
feel better. Spill on your spillages. When you you had
a spillage, maybe it landed on you. Maybe you're the
ones spilling it.
Speaker 4 (37:57):
I know there'll be a lot of young waiters who
are new to the game who would have had some
shockers over the years. Love to get your calls on
New Zealand's Breakfast Next.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
The Heat's the johonaan Ben Podcast.
Speaker 4 (38:07):
What have you spelt on someone? Yeah? I had a
really shocking incident yesterday. We're filming something for social media purposes. Anyway,
long story short, I ended up throwing coffee at one
of our colleagues, actually all over a nice white Ralph
Lauren knit its top coffee everywhere. Bonus was she smelled
like a cafe. There's worse things to smell like. The
(38:27):
downside was she was sprayed, coffee exploded all over her.
And again I just I don't know what I was thinking.
I don't know. So many moments like those in my life.
We're like, what were you thinking? Mate? And then I
took it to that. I took it to the dry
cleaners because it's kind of like, well, that's the least
I could do. Walked into the dry cleaner Cain. The
door was shut, and I went, WHOA, tell you what
(38:48):
it is hot in here? Said this to the dry
You know there's dry. It's not a it's a very
tropical environment the dry cleaners. I would say I was
packing maybe high thirties, early forty degreeage in there. And
I said I was very hot in here. He said, no,
it's not. He got got quite quite defensive about the temperature.
I was like, oh, this is quite hot. You know,
(39:09):
I've come from a cold outside walked into here. It's
a very humid and hot. He's like, no perfect conditions.
And he's looking at his colleague and she say, I
can't see that. Every day he sees these are perfect conditions.
So yeah, managed to annoy two people yesterday the text
come through. I can't talk right now.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
But at twenty seven years ago we had our wedding,
had a whole lot of shocking things happened. Scaffolding around
the church the day before, which is not my ideal
for photos.
Speaker 4 (39:38):
They didn't tell them that they're putting scaffold.
Speaker 3 (39:40):
The vicar collapsed, they had to get on a seat,
he fainted again, dropped the rings, and then when the
reception was on, the best man has spilt a tray
of beer over the top of me as well. We
still laugh about her twenty seven years later. But a
whole lot of things now going on. Wedding was cursed
in some ways.
Speaker 4 (39:58):
They've done twenty seven good years. We're going to get
to Anna on the phone. How are you this morning? Anna?
Speaker 10 (40:03):
Hi?
Speaker 9 (40:04):
How are you guys?
Speaker 4 (40:04):
Yeah, we're doing well. Spill on your spillages. What happened?
Speaker 13 (40:08):
I had all the kids in the back seat lined
up with the McDonald's pancakes, ready to hit the road
under the maple syrup, just about to hand it to them.
Hands spazzes maple syrup everywhere all over the centeconsole. Nothing
to clean it up with other than my jersey and
a water bottle.
Speaker 4 (40:24):
So sticky maple syrup when it gets but heat applied
to it from the sun.
Speaker 6 (40:30):
Oh yeah, we're still finding it like months later.
Speaker 4 (40:34):
That's a lick it off scenario.
Speaker 13 (40:38):
Hand.
Speaker 6 (40:38):
But it was like, you know what, usually you have
the whites of the cart, not a white, not a
tissue anywhere.
Speaker 13 (40:44):
Use the old jersey and the water bottle to get
it before it's stuck quite concrete.
Speaker 4 (40:48):
Yeah, I did that to the steering wheel once. He
had to lick something off the ste What do you
think that's the I had to go hawked, you know.
Speaker 5 (41:00):
I spent on that day.
Speaker 4 (41:04):
And then kind of because all I had was my top,
So I was like, wow, the only option is to
look at so you never want to see. You don't
even want anyone catching your sucking on a steering steering wheels. Yeah,
you know, appreciate your your call in her. Have you
done spillages been?
Speaker 3 (41:21):
I've had something spelt on me at a restaurant many
years ago. We went to one of those restaurants, you know,
they had that Karen's Diner here recently in New Zealand
where the staff would kind of it was part of
the thing. They kind of give you grief that abuse
you in some ways, but a funny way years ago
as a restaurant like that, and the lady was really funny,
just the whole time, just giving us total grief, all
sorts of stuff.
Speaker 4 (41:41):
And then she accidentally spooked whine all over me. I
wasn't part of the act.
Speaker 3 (41:45):
No, it wasn't part of that because the actor suddenly stopped.
She was like, oh, I'm so sorry, sorry, sorry about that,
quietly going to get in the top, going to pay
for this.
Speaker 5 (41:54):
And I was like, oh, she's really changed, but that's.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
The risk when you want to run a novelty restaurant
looking like a bumbling waiter.
Speaker 3 (42:02):
I was like, Wow, she's really committed to this role
with red white everywhere. I thought it was quite funny,
but very inconvenient.
Speaker 4 (42:08):
I did that same as a way to split a
whole tray of champagne over a lady. The whole sop
swapping with out the races too, the ellersly races. It's
all right, it's all right, it's not all right, never
all right. Actually was saying the same thing you say,
it's Okay.
Speaker 1 (42:23):
It's okay, it's not the hits that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (42:27):
Of course, before we were running the twenty thousand dollars
bounty here at the Hats, we were sending someone to
the iHeartRadio Music Festival and a place in Nevada, a
very famous place with the casinos.
Speaker 5 (42:37):
So that I'm now scared that we've been pronouncing wrong.
Speaker 4 (42:39):
For a number of weeks and probably all throughout our career,
to be honest. Yeah, we had a complaint, one complainant,
but about eight or nine texts sent through I'll read
it verbatim, irritating this particular individual, this particular about how
we pronounce Las Vegas. Your promo for a trip to
Las Vegas. Note it's las Las Vegas and capitals as
(43:00):
an lassie, Lasagna, lasso and any other ass words you
can think of with an owl at the start. So
we just opened up the debate, you know, words that
irritate you. But many people have jumped on board this
whole Las Vegas Las Vegas situation. Cody from Idaho said
I lived over there, never once said lass.
Speaker 5 (43:19):
So we thought, well, should we go directly to Yeah,
we will.
Speaker 4 (43:22):
Go straight to the sauce but before we do, Mike,
good tar of you on the show. Hey, how are
you you wanting to bring a big name into the argument?
Speaker 11 (43:30):
Yeah, Viva las Vegas by Elvis, right, so that'll sort
it out.
Speaker 4 (43:38):
Elvis recorded it. It's not a catchy song that's ever
Listen what's he saying? Lass or loss? Elvis's loss all day.
Speaker 11 (43:50):
Yeah, something really strange has just happened. All my clothes
just fell off me.
Speaker 3 (43:57):
That's what happens when almost second they just explode straight
off your.
Speaker 4 (44:01):
Body, don't they.
Speaker 11 (44:04):
Hey, here's another one for you, another one, this one
for you. Here is another one Barcelona or bon Slona.
Speaker 4 (44:15):
Oh yeah, they like.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
I stick the tongue out after the Yeah. All right,
well that's the debate we need to give in to
make for another day. We appreciate that though. I mean,
we're going to listen to the word of the king.
Speaker 4 (44:28):
Oh, I mean yeah, he's a pretty reputable kind of guy,
Elvis Prisley. But we can go straight to the heart
because you know, times changed, don't know, since the retorting
of Viva Las Vegas, people become woke, been woke culture,
so maybe things might have changed. You're right, So we're
going to go through to Well, we're the Little White
Winning Chapel.
Speaker 3 (44:47):
Yeah, the famous, iconic little chapel in Vegas that people
get the quick weddings.
Speaker 10 (44:57):

hard to understand.
Speaker 2 (45:42):

Speaker 9 (45:43):
How can I help you?
Speaker 3 (45:44):
Just one question and one question only? Is it Las
Vegas or Las Vegas? We're having no less or loss. Sorry,
we're having a big debate. How do you pronounce it?
Speaker 2 (45:53):
It's a last Vegas lost.
Speaker 4 (45:55):
This is the official word from Las Vegas. Because we've
been saying Las Vegas and then we got we keep
getting complaints going it's Las Vegas.
Speaker 2 (46:04):
No, it is Las Vegas, Las Vegas.
Speaker 4 (46:06):
Okay, all right?
Speaker 3 (46:07):
And how much to get married? That's my second question.
I said one question, but now I'm tempted.
Speaker 2 (46:14):
Our packages depend on the venues. So for example, our
little white Chapel, pink Cadillac, and Gazebel all come to
two hundred and forty nine dollars and ninety cents. Wow,
the minister fee and.
Speaker 4 (46:26):
Taxes, that's reasonable. Most famous person you've had get married there?
Speaker 2 (46:32):
Oh gosh, there's so many. I would probably say Britney
Spears or Jennifer Lopez.

Oh well, that's pretty good with fard of that in
New Zealand, big names, big names. Well listen, we pass
on our gods. You have a great day. Pass on

Speaker 1 (46:56):
Yes, the hits that Jona wan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (47:00):
Alternate uses for products your son is rocking and neck
tie is a belt?
Speaker 4 (47:05):
Yeah, genius. There are many alternates alternatives for abouts. Great
text here for four eight seven. When I was a posty,
I had a customer come out of their house and
asked me for some rubber bands so he could tie
his pants. Oh okay, so he's come out of his house. Yeah,
surely there's.
Speaker 5 (47:24):
Stuff and I don't know, maybe he was looking for
rubber bands.
Speaker 4 (47:27):
Disparerent measures. If you're going out to ask the posty
for rubber bands, so I suppose you could use to
loop around and stuff, bring them together, bring the two. Yeah.
You could do that with cable ties as well, couldn't you.
That's true annoying if you do need to go because
you've kind of locked like a chestedy sort of situation,
isn't it locked into your pants? Yeah? But alternate uses
for products items. Let's go to Naomi. Good morning, Welcome

microwave plate that he pulls out with wheels and uses
it as a lazy Susan.
Speaker 12 (48:03):
Yeah, yeah, so we use we use it for board games.
So as we're all getting a wee bit older, we're
getting a bit of myopics. So the whole idea is
to turn it around towards you so you don't have
to upset any of the bits on the border. And
it works really well.
Speaker 4 (48:18):
Genius. So you're like Monopoly, you can just sing you
want to see what you were riding and sure, that
is a great hack. That's a great hack. I'll tell
you that one. Yeah. No, do you play do you

Speaker 7 (48:32):
Oh?
