Jono, Ben & Megan - The Podcast

Awkies. We spoke about how Pete Davidson has 3 tattoos dedicated to Kim Kardashian and wanted to hear some of your tattoo stories. Did you go too early in getting a tattoo with your partner and then break up? Did your tattoo go badly? We heard some great stories! We also wrote up a parody song (classic) on the current cost-of-living crisis. We present to you a parody of Kesha & Walker Hayes' song...

We had a "Cliff-hanger Call" today! Sharon shared a story about how she was helping out a child in distress at a beach. But something happened to Sharon at possibly the worst time...! We also gave away $1000 to a listener off the back of our Live Free competition and when we called her, she had no idea who we were, and it ended up with her nearly hanging up on us. Hilarious! Enjoy the show! See om...

After 5 weeks of putting people in the draw and then drawing out 5 finalists, lucky Catherine ended up winning the prize of her rent being paid for 12 months, and it was such an awesome moment! We also heard from a woman who accidentally used haemorrhoid cream as toothpaste (good lord), and we learnt about which type of person is the most boring, according to science. (Let's hope it's not any of y...

And that, my dear friends, gives you an in insight into a man who doesn't get enough sleep! Speaking of sleep, we spoke about how The Rock only sleeps 4 hours a night, and turns out a bunch of our listeners also sleep TOO LITTLE!! THIS IS BAD! Finally, Ben's daughter Indie brought up a very good point about the way that we all say RAT tests. Betcha never thought about it! Enjoy. See omnystudio.com...

We had Ed on the show today promoting his newly announced NZ shows - Feb 2023 in Auckland and Wellington! And he explained how he got so excited to work with Dwayne The Rock Johnson on a movie - but then he never even got to meet him on set! Ben has also decided to follow Tom Brady's retirement plan of retiring and then un-retiring. How did our boss take it? Enjoy the show! See omnystudio.com/list...

Kids are much smarter than we give them credit for, and Sienna got Ben goooood when he wanted her to read a bit more. We also spoke about Petrol Station Panic Stations, about the times something went wrong for you at the petrol pump. Finally, we want to start our own bucket list! We want to complete a bunch of cool things before the end of the year, so we spoke to our oldest listener Lizzie, who i...

BOOOOMER ROOOOUMER ALERT! Denise gave us a bit of tea about how she reckons David Seymour is ditching ACT for National. Is this legit? Lucky David always answers our calls and was able to confirm/deny this rumour! Jono is also having an MRI scan for the first time today and Ben wanted to settle any concerns he had by getting some MRI scan stories on the air. Whether or not these were settling call...

He spoke to us about his ideas to reduce the cost of living, because let's be honest, it is OUTRAGEOUS! Jono got pulled over by the cops this morning while he was driving to work shirtless (don't ask), and finally, we caught up with Holly Jean Brooker from the Parenting Place who explained how families isolating at home can survive it with young children! Enjoy! See omnystudio.com/listener for pri...

We challenged Jono to call up one of the interns at our company and try incorporate a bunch of the lingo their generation uses into the conversation. "That's Gucci" "snatched" "bounce" and many more. And he absolutely butchered it, as you can imagine. We also found out what Jono's 4 year old nephew thinks of our show, and finally we caught up with Sandra Oh who you may know from Grey's Anatomy! Se...

After speaking to someone about this yesterday, we thought there must be more people out there whose dreams become real, almost like they've had a premonition. And there are more of you! Ben also tried to explain the concept of "fast fashion" to his daughters, but the conversation didn't end up how he wanted it to. Finally, we discussed the things that feel like a cult, but aren't. We're looking a...

And not terrible where he accidentally crashes all the time, he's terrible where he DGAF about how he drives (if you don't know that abbreviation, have a goog). We're sure that if he focused, he would be a great driver. It's his over-confidence that lets him down! So yesterday Ben sent him down to the garage and set him some simple driving tasks. How did he go? Have a listen to find out. It's also...

Another #BoomerRumour is spreading, this time about Hilary Barry and Jeremy Wells. Do they dislike each other in real life? We caught up with Denise our boomer friend who shared with us what she's heard. We also found what we thought was John Key's mobile number and wanted to see if he would answer. HE DID. WHY WOULD JOHN KEY ANSWER A BLOCKED PHONE CALL!? Finally, we're going to try see if Jono is...

With Kiwis being able to come back to NZ without isolating, we realised there are probably a bunch of people whose passports have expired. And the cost to renew one is $191. ANNOYING. So we decided to renew a bunch of people's passports so they can go and see loved ones overseas without having to isolate when they get home. Jono also revealed a part of himself that surprises most people, and final...

Ben took some "pranking inspiration" from Jono and tried it on his wife when she was on the phone to the bank. But he learnt quickly that when pranking, it should not involve the bank! We also spoke to a woman who has climbed Mt Everest 6 TIMES! Finally, Ben has discovered the world's cutest animal that you all MUST GOOGLE. Enjoy!

We have been SURROUNDED by scary, sad and angering news recently. We caught up with Dave Atkinson, CEO of the Parenting Hub, who explained how we can explain to our inquisitive children what is going on in NZ & the world right now. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We spoke to Nick James, a reporter for the NZ Herald who has been down there watching it all unfold. He said it's been the most chaotic thing he's witnessed and has never seen anything like it before. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dame Val has announced her retirement and we managed to find her mobile number. No interview was planned, and Jono thought it would be a good idea to call her out of the blue. AND SHE PICKED UP! From a blocked number even! And it was awkward as hell! We also played Liar Liar where we speak to two people but only one is telling a truthful story. Jemma allegedly found a suitcase with $50K in it, and...

Ben wanted to teach his kids a card game, but he forgot the rules of every game apart from blackjack - so blackjack it was! We also spoke to Diana who shared an outrageous story about something that happened to her on a flight. Finally, Jono made a very good observation about something that all parents over the age of 60 do. Enjoy the poddy! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What is it like to be in Ukraine right now? Tom Mutch is a reporter who is over there at the moment and he spoke to us about the situation and what he has experienced so far. A very interesting chat and one worth listening to. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Denise came back with another boomer rumour, that The Queen has passed away after she caught Covid, but Buckingham Palace are covering it up for the moment. Does this have any merit to it? We then caught up with our UK correspondent Gavin Grey to see if he thinks this rumour is true. Ben found out something scandalous that Jono did in the work garage, and finally we completed our 28 days of Good D...

In 2018 Jono accidentally gave a bunch of people food poisoning, and he's never cooked chicken again since. But recently he was given the opportunity to redeem himself! We also spoke more of the unusual jobs you wouldn't have heard of, and one of our callers did a job relating to with panty-hose... Finally, we continued on with our good deeds and sent Jono out to shout someone petrol. And it was a...

We spoke to listener Blair who was figuring out if a speargun he was holding was faulty or not. Turns out it wasn't... And he accidentally shot himself in the hand. OWWWWWW. Ben also found something out about Jono that he never knew after all these years, and it's hilarious. Finally, we wanted to know about the odd job you have had, or the job that we'd never really think about. We spoke to a lett...

Was it successful? You be the judge. We also wanted to know if any of our listeners have ever walked out of a job. We spoke to listener Jen who had, and she said it was the best thing she'd ever done. Finally, our game Liar Liar made a comeback! We spoke to a woman claiming she had the world record for the longest hair, and another woman claiming she was Brad Pitt's dog groomer. Who was telling th...

Can you imagine it? Jono took his son and his friends to the movies and sat a few rows back, just peering at them and making sure they were behaving! Yes, we can imagine it. We also spoke about a friend who accidentally left a voicemail on their bosses phone after they didn't pick up. But what happens when you accidentally b***h about your boss without realising YOU'RE LEAVING A VOICEMAIL!! Nothin...

We spoke to Denise who gave us some tea on Clarke and Jacinda. Was it a far fetched Boomer Rumour? Maybe. But it's our new segment, and we even got political reporter Barry Soper on to fact check! We also caught up with Winter Olympic gold medalist Nico Porteous after his epic win in the Freeski Halfpipe over the weekend. Finally, we spoke about the things you've done a 180 on. With Ben, it's magp...
