Jono, Ben & Megan - The Podcast

On today's show, we spoke to Millennial Max about how he LEGITIMATELY slipped on a banana peel on a footpath. Who knew this actually happened in real life? So we asked you guys whether anything had ever happened to you that could've been in a movie. Tavita phoned through and told the story about how he stopped a jewellery heist! We also caught up with journalist Paddy Gower about his new documenta...

Hello! Today on the show we had a school teacher on who was approached by a former student, now in his 20's, who wanted to go on a date with her. Should she do it, or should she leave it? Ben's daughter's love for making signs & notes turned into a very ironic moment, and we also spoke about the dangers of saying you're "5 minutes away". Enjoy the podcast!

British talk show host Graham Norton caught up with Jono and Ben to give us all the goss. He dished on his collaboration with Kiwi-owned Invivo Wine, the celebrities he’s interviewed that he still gets star-struck by, and of course how so many Kiwis end up on The Graham Norton Show’s iconic big red chair. He also took a quick quiz and revealed what he really thinks of some of New Zealand’s famous...

Hello hello! Today was a really interesting show. If you haven't been following along with the international drug bust that has resulted in the arrest of 800 criminals, you really should be! We spoke to Jared Savage from the NZ Herald who gave us a rundown on what has happened, and how an app created by the FBI has caught so many criminals around the world! On a completely different and lighter no...

Today on the show we played a fun game that Ben stole from a radio station in Australia... But it was a whole lotta fun!

Kia Ora! On today's show, we played a good old game of Liar Liar. This is where we have 2 callers on, each sharing an outrageous story they have. But only one of them is telling the truth.

We also got Producer Juliet to give Jono the low-down on social media etiquette, and at what point you sh...

Hello hello! After we spoke to someone in Methven who had Margot Robbie stay at the end of his driveway, we decided to OPEN THE FLOODGATES (and open the floodgates, we did!) to see the most famous people you guys have spoken to or interacted with. And there were some great stories! We also broke down some of Ed Sheeran's songs, and wow, we've made some discoveries about him. Finally, Ben's family...

Hello and welcome to the first day of June. As we always say, the year is FLYYYYIN BY! Today we discussed Boris Johnson's secret wedding that nobody knew about. We wondered whether any of you guys have got married in secret, and what the repercussions were!? Ben also went shopping with his daughter over the weekend and had a very awkward encounter that involved a mannequin and his wife's friend......

One of our listeners spoke to us about an issue she's facing at home; her partner's parents never help out or babysit their children. But should they be obligated to babysit since they're grandparents!? This was a hot topic this morning! Ben also took his daughters to the Wellington Phoenix game over the weekend, and they did some woooonderful commentary of the game, when they had absolutely no id...

If you're a huge fan of Friends, get this podcast in your earholes ASAP! It's been one of the most highly anticipated reunions, the Friends reunion. We celebrated by doing our very own "Friends of Friends" reunion, where we spoke to the people on the outskirts. The extras, the cameos, and the people (other than the main cast) that were involved. We spoke to Ross' first wife Carol, Mr. Heckles, a w...

Hello & happy Friday! We were joined by a couple of great guests today. Jared Fell, who is a comedic magician, did a couple of magic tricks in the studio and we literally couldn't believe what he did. Insane.

Jono also got into another internet wormhole but about some really interesting things you may not know about Friends. Finally, Ben...

Hello! Today we were joined by Phil Solem from The Rembrandts. Now you may not know the name, but you will absolutely know the Friends theme song, and he's 1/2 of the duo who sang it! We chatted to him about how the song came to be and the famous clap we all do when we sing along. Ben also shared that he cried at his daughter's football game, very embarrassingly. Finally, Jono was almost a very go...

Hello hello! Our Friends of Friends reunion continued on, and today we spoke to Michelle Davies, who got the opportunity to feature as an extra on Friends.

Listeners called up with their horrific experiences involv...

Ahead of the Friends reunion this week, we decided to hold our own!

Non-Friends related, we also spoke to a lady who has had a change of heart and wants to change her 4-year-old daug...

On today's show we played Liar Liar, where we were presented with 2 callers, both with big claims, and only one of them were telling the truth.

Hello hello! Today was a very big show. It's Wednesday in NZ, which means it's "Teremana Tuesday" in America. Meaning, the day Dwayne Johnson reposts videos of his fans enjoying his tequila. This morning we made sure Ben wasn't checking Dwayne's Instagram account, so Jono could reveal the news to him live on air! We were also joined by Jacinda Ardern, desperate for some more scoop on her wedding....

He's been in the news over the past few weeks, claiming he is Charles and Camilla's secret son that they adopted out shortly after he was born.
