This is mildly amusing banter at its mild amusing best! We’re Jono Pryor and Ben Boyce, two best mates who started their work marriage a decade ago in a quest to become a hotter kiwi duo than a mince and cheese in a scalding service station pie! While we aren't there yet, you can catch us weekdays on The Hits breakfast to talk about our life misadventures, big interviews, fun games and plenty of LOLs. OK, we can’t promise LOLs but hopefully you stopped reading after we said LOLs the first time.

If you like what you hear, follow the podcast wherever you're listening to this! In the first episode of Season 2, Sienna and her Dad Ben, sit down with one of New Zealand’s greatest athletes, Dame Valerie Adams - someone she hopes to be like! With Olympic gold medals, World Championship titles, and a career that has inspired a nation, Dame Valerie’s story is nothing short of legendary. What makes this conversation so special is Valerie’s honesty about the challenges she faced growing up - from struggling to fit in as a teenager, to finding her purpose through sport, and building resilience through setbacks and injuries. This conversation covers: ● Growing up with very little and feeling out of place as a teen because of her height ● Finding her purpose through sport and the mentors who guided her ● Handling setbacks, the effort it takes, and what it’s like competing on the world stage at the Olympic Games ● The achievements from Olympic Glory, becoming a Dame, having a Barbie doll made in her honour and where she keeps her medals! ● What Dame Valerie would tell her younger self and will she help Ben move rocks at home on the weekend!? This episode is a powerful reminder that no matter where you start, you can achieve extraordinary things - and you don’t need to have it all figured out when you’re young (or at any age).
