Jono, Ben & Megan - The Podcast

Kia ora whānau! Today's show was a really fun one. We played WOW WEDNESDAY, and asked for any calls from anyone that could wow us. And we had someone who did not disappoint. She married her gay British best friend just to get permanent residency in the UK, and it actually worked. But there's a part to the story that is TOTALLY unexpected! We also caught up with Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern - does...

We spoke to a couple of people today who had been in a coma, and asked them all sorts of questions about whether they could hear noises, whether they "saw the other side", and what they remembered overall. It was honestly very interesting and makes you really appreciate your own life! On quite a different note, Ben had another shituation with dog poo... What two completely different topics! You ma...

Called VAX STREETS BACK (EVERYBODY)! Thanks to the Backstreet Boys! We thoroughly enjoyed making this song, and keep your eyes peeled on our Instagram @thehitsbreakfast for the highly anticipated music video to go along with it... Yesterday was also Father's Day in NZ and Ben's daughters wrote some adorable messages about him in a card, some of which are strangely accurate... Finally, we spoke to...

With Father's Day this Sunday, we each made a call to our dads, told them we loved them, and then started a timer to see how long it would take for them to say it back... Because this particular generation of dad's don't generally dish out "I love you" a whoooole lot. We also played an old song we recorded with Kings and Ben's dad called "DAD JOKES", an absolute banger filled with some of your cla...

Yes, you read that correctly. if you're in Level 4 right now and dreaming about being in Level 3, boy do we have something for you. Just you wait. It's worth it. We were also joined by TWO OF THE GREATS, the two lead stars of the critically acclaimed 1pm press conference! Ashley Bloomfield & Jacinda Ardern. We spoke to Ashley about what went through his mind when Chris Hipkins told the nation to s...

Hello friends. On today's show, we broke up with the rest of the country... We had to make a tough call to Christchurch to officially end things. It was tough. Breaking up is never easy. But sometimes it's just gotta be done... Pray for us. We also rewarded another essential worker, what we like to call "Iso-Legends" thanks to our mates at Skinny. All that and more on today's poddy! Enjoy! See omn...

If you've ever done one of the NZ Herald quizzes, they're often quite challenging and it's hard to score a 10/10. But today we took it upon ourselves to try today's quiz, with the help of our wonderful listeners (and a "phone a friend") to score a 10/10. We did it, and it was a whole lot of fun!

Kia ora! On today's show we discussed a wedding dilemma. If a couple don't show up to your wedding, is it acceptable to invoice them the cost of their food?! We also caught up with someone who has contracted Covid TWICE. The original Covid and the Delta variant! Finally, we tried to hunt out the person in NZ who has had the most Covid tests. Enjoy the poddy! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy...

In this MINI edition of the Jono & Ben podcast, we catch up with Lisa Adams after winning Gold at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kia ora whānau, on today's show we spoke with Lisa Adams, who just won a gold medal in the shot put at the Paralympic Games in Tokyo! She is Valerie & Steven Adams' sister. What a blimmen talented family! She's a real hard case and it was so good catching up with her. We also spoke about how someone MAY have stolen our idea for our "spread your legs" facemasks (although they're putting proceeds to...

Hello friends! Today we played a non-stop game of 5 Words for $5K and kept playing until we gave away the cash. It was a long show! Ben finally managed to match all words with Sarah from Tauranga just before 1pm and now Sezza is $5K richer! We also delved into what's making Ben nervous today, as well as catching up with Matiu Walters from Six60 ahead of the release of their new song Pepeha. See om...

Hello friends! Hope you're surviving in lockdown and hopefully we can keep you company for an hour or so through this poddy! Today we spoke to listeners Maggie & Matt who are locked down together with their kids. Maggie is working from home & Matt can't, but Maggie still seems to be homeschooling the kids while juggling work. Why isn't Matt doing it?! We delved into this and got some advice on wha...

Hello fine people of Aotearoa and anyone who may be listening in other countries... With Covid making a comeback in NZ, Jono decided to spice up a phone call to his wife Jen and call her with some sexy chat... some sexy COVID chat... Did Jen like it? Have a listen to find out. We also caught up with Ganesh Raj who hosts Eat Well For Less on TVNZ, to get a bit of lockdown cooking inspo using the in...

Kia ora! On today's show, we caught up with Newshub Entertainment Reporter and Film Reviewer, Kate Rodger, on the shows we should be binging this lockdown. Even when we get out of lockdown, we'll probably still be binging them! Since we're on the topic of binging... Jono got into another internet wormhole, this time about Netflix. Did you know that Netflix started before Google?! Finally, we caugh...

Kia ora whānau! On today's show, we delved into the one thing that Ben is nervous about today. There are many things. Ohhhhh so many things that our Ben Boyce is nervous about today. But we made him choose just one. And it was when there are too many people on Zoom, to the point where it stresses him out and he leaves the meeting! Is this justifiable!? We also caught up with Anna Grimaldi, a Paral...

All week we've been leading up to today where we can play a Christmas song on the radio because lets be honest, we all need some cheer in these Covid times! Then we got carried away and kept playing Christmas music until we got 12 no's. The 12 no's of Christmas. But Ben had a bit of a hilarious fumble when asking for calls which completely changed the name of the segment! We also caught up with TV...

It wouldn't be a lockdown without a champagne Jono & Ben parody song. This time we used Ed Sheeran's song Bad Habits, so ENJOY. We spoke to a guy who is selling KFC from the day before lockdown on Facebook Marketplace, and the offers he is getting for the 2-day old K-Fry is INSANE. We also played our own version of the Masked Singer... So chuck the poddy on, kick back, eat some snacks and SOAK UP...

Kia ora New Zealand, we are baaaaaaaack in lockdown (and in your earholes)! Hope everyone is doing ok. We are acutely aware that the number of listeners we had this morning probably averaged at about 5, but luckily you can catch us on this poddy! Even though the lockdown news is pretty dull, we had some fun on this show to bring you guys some laughs! We spoke to Mitchell who was up at 6.30 drinkin...

In a new segment we introduced recently, we delve into the brain of Ben Boyce and uncover the things that he's nervous about. He's always operating at Alert Level 4, and today his anxiousness comes from shopping mall changing rooms! We also spoke about how JLo deleted all pictures of ARod off her social media which sparked a conversation about whether it's ok to still have photos of your ex on soc...

Every person's worst nightmare. Sending the right message but to the wrong person. Unfortunately, Ben bore the brunt of this over the weekend, BIG TIME. Another unfortunate moment happened to Ben this morning (wow he's really feeling the true effects of a Monday, isn't he), when he realised live on air that he had stepped in dog poop. Finally, we got Sienna back in the studio to pull a bit of a pr...

We spoke about the awkward encounters you've had with an ex, and golly gosh some belters came through. People whose ex was their midwife, people whose ex wanted them to be their egg donor... you name it, we probably had that call on. We also played one of our fun games called Liar Liar, where we have 2 people on the phone explaining some wild stories, but one of them is lying. Today's liar was bla...

This morning Vaccinologist Helen Petousis-Harris joined us to answer all of your COVID vaccine questions. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kia ora! Yes, our old producer Heidi put Jono right back in his place after he said something quite controversial in the office! With the news of Jennifer Aniston & David Schwimmer AKA Schwimmerston getting together (potentially?), we called GORE of all places to break the news and see if they cared. Finally, we had vaccinologist Helen Petousis-Harris on to answer all your Covid vaccine questions....

Today was OH WOW WEDNESDAY, where we encourage you guys to call up and make us go WOW. It could be a talent you've got, or a story that happened to you that we won't believe. We had Judy on who told the most insane story about her cheating husband's girlfriend giving birth. Crazy. Today on the show we also caught up with Jacinda Ardern - does her daughter Neve know what she does for a living? The...

This was VERY INTERESTING! We spoke to a lovely man we recently met, Doug, who is the biggest movie buff we've ever come across. He's seen so many movies in his lifetime, spends weekends doing movie marathons, spends his evenings with his movie-critic wife watching different films, ALL while managing a normal job, too. So we put him to the test and got you guys to call up to see if you could stump...
