Jono, Ben & Megan - The Podcast

On today's show, we spoke to Calum Scott, you'll know his cover of Dancing On My Own - but his rise to fame was an awkward one on Britain's Got Talent. He's such a lovely guy and we had such a good chat with him. We also spoke about the things you hid from your mum after Ben and his daughter tried to hide something from his wife Amanda, but they very poorly disguised the evidence! Finally, we had...

You may remember the iconic news story that broke in 1994, where just prior to the Winter Olympics, figure skater Tonya Harding was involved in a scandal where her ex-husband ordered a hit job on her biggest threat, Nancy Kerrigan. This story has since been turned into a film starring Margot Robbie. We caught up with Tonya over Zoom and it was a super interesting chat. We also discussed the movie...

Kia Ora! We discussed Dadmin today and heard some wonderful stories from when dads around the country dropped the ball, or when they were in charge of the admin and it all went wrong. As well as this, we talked about the night show on Newstalk ZB with Marcus Lush.

Aucklanders, all you'll be hearing about today is how cold it is. Non-Aucklanders, all you'll be hearing about today is how Aucklanders think 2 degrees is cold. Regardless of where you are though, talking about how cold it is can be the easiest small talk there is! So we tested this out with our COLD CALLING, to see how long we could banter with someone just talking about the temperature. We also...

How early is too early to be sending work emails on the weekend, or is it even appropriate outside of work hours!? We're starting to think that sending emails at 6am on a Saturday morning is Jono's new favourite hobby... We also called back Liz from Legends Sports Bar in Porirua, because yesterday we got Ed Sheeran to call them and audition for their karaoke competition. But we caught up with Liz...

Hello hello! Today was a fun one, we spoke about when parents threaten their children, but actually follow through with it... like dropping them on the side of the road and telling them to walk home! We also crafted a little stitch up on Ben, he really wanted to speak to a Black Cap after their World Test Championship win. Producer BHumps couldn't get a Black Cap on, but instead got a guy from the...

Kia Ora! On today's show we discussed the word that annoys the heck out of you when it's not pronounced correctly. Aks (instead of ask), expresso, somethink, and maaaaaany more. Some people got riled up! We also received a message from Fran Drescher, who you may know as the nanny from The Nanny, ahead of our 90s themed show on Friday. Finally, we caught up with a Palaeontologist and asked him a bu...

Kia Ora! On today's show we asked you guys what minimal roles in your school production you were given, and we had some brilliant calls. Nothing hurts your ego like having to play a road cone! Jono got into another internet wormhole, this time about who the richest fictional characters are. Yes, we know that it would be impossible to measure this, but from what we know, there are some damn wealthy...

On today's show, we began reminiscing about the best things that happened or existed in the 90s.

We also caught up with Clarke Gayford who made an incredible birthday cake for Neve's 3rd birthday - it had a screen in it so he could c...

Jono has recently been teaching his son about some great music from back in the day, and we then stumbled across the topic "if you could play one song to someone who had never heard music before, what would it be?" and it honestly made us remember some of the greatest songs in history. Bohemian Rhapsody, Man in the Mirror, Sweet Caroline, we covered 'em all! We also played another game of Liar Lia...

Kia Ora! Today we asked how your kids have accidentally cost you. A mother in the US shared that her 10-month-old son accidentally bought a "Tesla Upgrade" on her phone... What a nightmare. We also discovered that Jono's newfound love of "speech to text" on his phone, results in a whole lot of embarrassing typos in his text messages. Finally, we were joined by Kiwi actor Vinnie Bennett who's in Fa...
