Jono's parents, like many of us, do not like artificial intelligence and automated messages.
On The Hits Breakfast with Jono & Ben, their son, alongside his co-host Ben, decided it would be fun to prank the couple, who have recently upgraded their cellphone to the new iPhone XR.
Knowing ofhis parents' struggle with the latest technologies, Jono knew the result would be hilarious.
Jono and Ben called Jono's parents, John and Annie, in Christchurch, and got "Siri" to ask them a few questions - nothing too complicated, just whether they are enjoying their new phone, what the weather is like where they live and "how is the bald idiot of a son of yours".

"We don't want you to ring us again. If you put on a human, not you Siri, I will tell them. I will not talk to you. Goodbye, do not ring us again," his mum said.
The two were determined not to engage in conversation with "Siri" and repeatedly told the computer voice "do not call".
