Jono, Ben & Megan - The Podcast

We got Ben's daughter in again to do another wee prank call... This time, on a wedding planner. Would they take her request seriously and help her plan a wedding for her dolls? We also spoke to a guy from work, Andy, who was paid by Newstalk ZB to sit down and watch ALL the coverage of the Olympics. He had multiple screens going and wasn't allowed to stop watching when it got late. ALL IN THE NAME...

We had a lot of fun this morning talking about the things you used to hide from your parents as a kid. One listener phoned up and said she accidentally got an "adult virus" on her family computer after going on a particular site... What she did with that computer afterwards was hilarious! We also played a bit of a game involving the 5 Olympic rings. Sounds bizarre but have a listen... and it may s...

Kia Ora! Firstly we'd just like to say a big RIP to Bernardino. Thank you for all the memories, most of which we can't remember. To pay respects to Bernardino, we got the tributes flowing in of all your wonderful (or not so wonderful) memories with the fine wine. On today's show we also hunted down our most talented listener; there was one guy who can make cricket and bird noises from his mouth, V...

Kia Ora! On today's show, not only did we speak to the voice of Lisa Simpson (so cool hearing Lisa talk back to us!), but we also spoke to a man from the state of Georgia in America, to see what really is so good about the peaches there. Because Justin Bieber has a whole song dedicated to the peaches out in Georgia, so they must be good! Finally, Ben found something old of his that he realised was...

Ben bought some "camel ball" lollies and his daughter was so confused as to why these lollies were so funny. How do you explain what they are to a child!? We also spoke about the moment you realised you were an adult. For Jono, it was when he was in a meeting with an executive, and she was younger than him! Finally, we caught up with Paul Henry who's in MIQ in Rotorua at the moment, after he sent...

Join us on this special edition podcast where we catch up with a bunch of our Olympians who have won medals at the Tokyo Olympic games so far! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we caught up with some more Olympians from the Tokyo Games; Emma Twigg, Hamish Bond, Grace Prendergast, Kerri Gowler & Brooke Donoghue! Ben also has a bone to pick with someone from his household that is getting more TV jobs than him... and no, it's not his daughter! Finally, we got Ben's daughter to call up Chris Mac from Six60 and see if she could convince him to play at her 12th birthday...

Today is Red Nose Day, Cure Kids' biggest fundraising appeal - where all donations go towards the research needed for kids with health conditions. No parent ever wants their child to go through illnesses that are sometimes undiagnosable. But with Cure Kids and the funds raised, it means we're one step closer to helping these kids and families! If you want to make a donation today, you can text RED...

Jono noticed that during & after the chat with The Rock and Emily Blunt, Ben made a promise to Emily and Jono that he'd get their names tattooed on his butt too... AHA! Will he follow through with these promises? Jono also did something very controversial to producer BHumps yesterday, outside of work... So we held a little intervention. Finally, we caught up with Martin Cocker from Netsafe. It was...

Weeks of planning, months of anticipation, as to whether Dwayne The Rock Johnson would finally see Ben's tattoo dedicated to him on his butt cheek! AND IT CAME TO FRUITION! But just you wait, because Dwayne RECOGNISED the tattoo and proved that he had seen it before! Emily Blunt was also involved in the interview and she was an absolute hoot, she even requested Ben get her name on the other cheek....

Weeks of planning, months of anticipation, as to whether Dwayne The Rock Johnson would see Ben's tattoo dedicated to him on his butt cheek! AND IT CAME TO FRUITION! We surprised Ben big time. He thought he was going to a screening of Disney's Jungle Cruise, which stars The Rock & Emily Blunt. Instead on the big screen was The Rock & Emily sitting on Zoom! It was awesome. He spoke about his time li...

The cat is out of the bag! We surprised Ben with Dwayne The Rock Johnson and Emily Blunt over Zoom, ahead of Disney's Jungle Cruise being released this week. We'll be playing the full interview tomorrow, but FINALLY. AFTER MONTHS. IT HAPPENED. We also talked about the everyman sports that should be in the Olympics. Parallel parking? Carrying all your grocery bags all at once? There are so many, we...

Kia Ora! On today's show, we wondered if anyone had received a gift from a celebrity, and we spoke to a guy who received Sonny Bill Williams' Rugby World Cup medal in 2015, after he ran on the pitch to celebrate NZ's win! And he got to KEEP the medal! Such a crazy story that was awesome to hear first-hand. Also, it's safe to say the Olympics are captivating us all, making us experts in sports we u...

We heard some of the most outrageous stories about your CLAIMS TO FAME, one woman worked with Kanye West (and spilt the TEA on him), another met Meghan Markle before she was a royal, and one held hands with Colin Farrell! CRAZY STUFF. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ben hates teeth-related stories, so Jono got him to play a game of "Tooth or Dare". Listeners called up with a gross tooth-related story, and Ben had to choose between hearing that story or doing a dare created by Jono. Some of the stories we heard were DISGUSTING. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

And what an iconic Kiwi she is! What's her job now? Does she still cycle at all? Does she keep her medal in her sock draw like all the other Olympians we've spoken to this week? Have a listen! She's awesome. We also spoke about the utter HURT (!!!) we've felt this week on our tour where kids have outright refused to get photos with us when their parents suggest it. Kids are the most brutally hones...

This morning we caught up with Tess Barker. You may not know the name but you'll know the movement she started, #FreeBritney. She and her friend Babs started a podcast back in 2017, where they dove deep and humorously analysed Britney's Instagram account. However, upon further research into Britney's life and conservatorship, they realised just how much she was being controlled by her father. So w...

That basically means she gets placed out in the middle of the ocean and stays there until Coastguard find her, as part of their training. CRAZY. And she doesn't even get paid to do this! So we threw it out there and wanted to find someone with the most unusual job. We heard from a professional "taster" and a professional "golf ball diver". We also spoke to Olympic Diver Anton Down-Jenkins ahead of...

Hello everyone! Today we tried another round of our game Six Degrees of Separation, where we get a caller on and we've got 6 questions to ask them to figure out if there's a connection, or if we know the same person. Today we had A GENUINE WINNER for the first time!! Our faith in this game is restored! This week we've also been catching up with former and current Olympians ahead of the games in To...

Kia ora! Today we broadcast from Nelson, SUNNY NELSON! Although it should be renamed FREEZING NELSON after the temps we experienced this morning! Today we discussed a situation that happened while on our trip away, that resulted in Ben potentially having a new wife. Awkward. We also caught up with PM Jacinda Ardern and discussed the fact that Ed Sheeran wants to play at her wedding, what she's doi...

We played a fun game of "I was today years old when I found out". We found out a whole new meaning to the "why did the chicken cross the road" joke, what CLUB in Club sandwich stands for, and tricks you can do on your iPhone! We also caught up with former Olympian Caroline Evers-Swindell, one of the twins in NZ's famous rowing double. She was hilarious to chat to, did you know she never even told...

Kia Ora and happy Friday! On today's show, thanks to the new movie, Space Jam: A New Legacy, we gave listener Steve and his son Cody the opportunity to take 10 shots at a basketball hoop, and for every shot they got, they took away $1000. For every shot they missed, we gave it to a listener on the phone. How much did Steve and Cody walk away with? Have a listen to find out! We also spoke to our fr...

Gday! If you listened to our podcast a couple of days ago, you would've heard the bit where we had Ben's daughter Indie on, and Jono was trying to convince her to swear. Little did Indie know (until she heard about it later), that Jono stitched her up when we played it to air, and put beeps throughout it to make it sound like she swore... Ben played this audio to Indie and she was SHOCKED! We were...

There are always those big moments in life that you always look forward to and always remember. But what happens when you miss them? Ben missed the auction of his own house and Jono missed his own 21st. Bet these sorts of things happen a lot! We also spoke about how Gordon Ramsay "ruined" a couple's wedding with his TV shoot, so we wanted to know about the things that ruined your wedding day. Enjo...

Kia ora e te whanau! Ben's 9-year-old is the most responsible human being on the planet and has told her dad on several occasions that she will never swear in her life. But Jono took this opportunity with open arms to try and convince Indie to swear. How much bribery will it take for a 9-year-old to crack? We also discussed the one thing you can say to your boss that will guarantee a day off work,...
