Jono, Ben & Megan - The Podcast

Yesterday Ben got his tattoo for Dwayne The Rock Johnson, and posted the video on his Instagram. And overnight we received a comment from Teremana Tequila, The Rock's tequila company! THIS IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, PEOPLE!!! We also discussed your "irrational irritations", the minor things that wind you up like there's no tomorrow. As well as this, can you stay friends with an ex, and can...

Hello hello! Yes, you read that correctly, Ben has decided he's going to get a tattoo in honour of Dwayne The Rock Johnson, to try to get his attention and feature on his Instagram. Keep your eyes peeled on our social media @thehitsbreakfast to see how this turns out! We also had a mother on, whose child got his head shaved by another parent... Should you give another child a haircut without check...

You may have seen on your feed pictures of potholes in roads being spray-painted with penises... The man behind this decided to paint phallic images around the potholes, so that the council would fix them. We chatted with him about his decision-making! We also caught up with comedian Rhys Darby, who is one of the judges on upcoming show The Masked Singer NZ, debuting Sunday night on Three. Finally...

Yesterday it was announced that Togala Bay toddler, Axle, had been found after going missing for 21 hours, to the relief of NZ. We spoke to Axle's neighbour, who owns the dog that Axle went missing with. Such a scary story but such a wonderful outcome! As well as this, we discussed the greatest number of flatmates you've ever lived with, some people have lived with over 15 people under one roof! F...

Today we started brainstorming ideas on what Ben could do in his video with Dwayne The Rock Johnson's tequila in order to get noticed by him. And there were some gooooood suggestions in there from some listeners! If you have any more suggestions, please let us know on our Instagram @thehitsbreakfast. We also discussed Bill Gates' divorce after 27 years, so we were wondering if we could find anyone...

On today's show, we revealed a big surprise for Ben. One of his biggest idols is Dwayne The Rock Johnson, who has his own brand of tequila, and he often shares videos of fans enjoying the tequila. So, Jono ordered some to NZ, and IT'S ARRIVED AFTER A MONTH! So now, Ben has the opportunity to post a video in the hopes that The Rock will notice it and repost it. FINGERS CROSSED. If you have any idea...

It's so frustrating when you come across things that make you feel old... Like how the last episode of Friends aired 17 years ago... WHAT!? We chatted about this and there were some hilarious stories from you guys on the things people say or do that make you feel old. We also launched a new giveaway on our station called CASH N CAR, where we're giving away a brand new MG ZS Essence, and a bunch of...

Richie McCaw has a new video series out with his wife Gemma, called "McCaw's on Tour", where they tour NZ and participate in a bunch of unique activities, so we caught up with him about it this morning. Jono also reckons his dad has had the most amount of jobs, and we wanted to see if anyone could beat him with the most amount of jobs they've had in their lifetime. Finally, Ben brought a fun wee g...

Kia Ora! On today's show, we SPOKE TO THE LADY BEHIND THE VOICE OF SIRI! Her name is Karen Jacobsen, from Australia, and my golly it was interesting to hear how many words & syllables she had to record! Producer Juliet also told a veeeeery juicy story about a groom who hooked up with the lady that dropped his wedding suit off, the NIGHT before his wedding... Kind of unbelievable really. On this, w...

Hello friends! On today's show, we broadcast from a Skinny dairy & gave the dairy owner the day off (he works a LOT!), which meant we took over and (attempted to) serve customers. (Not sure how well that went). Ben recapped Six60's show at Eden Park with a bunch of audio he recorded while he was there. What he didn't realise was how drunk he sounded! Finally, we chatted about the length of time th...

On today's show, we discussed how patient and kind sounding Siri is, especially when you're using Maps for directions, and what she WOULD sound like if she was actually honest. We also caught up with the owner of a thieving cat named Keith! Keith has been nicking belongings from the neighbours for the last 5 years, fur real! We also had another winner for 5 Words, but producer Juliet was the one s...

Hello hello and welcome to the show! Apart from giving away Six60 tickets left right and centre, we talked about the injuries you endured while playing social sport (PS why is social sport ALWAYS so competitive!?) As well as this, we chatted about the fact that Jono's parents made it to the finals of the NZ radio awards, despite never wanting to be on the radio... But they went out for a celebrato...

Okay, we know, that title sounds morbid! But we chatted to Ross Hall, the owner of a company called Dying Art, where he designs bespoke coffins. He's designed ones that look like cream donuts, lego pieces, boats, and a whole lot more! And we chatted about what Ben's would look like if he had one designed by Ross! We also spent a lot of the show giving away a bunch of Six60 tickets, because yesterd...

Kia ora! Today we broadcast from Eden Park ahead of our biggest musical chair challenge, of sitting on up to 50,000 seats to unlock 50 tickets to Six60! It was a completely empty stadium and veeeery dark when we started the show, but we eventually got going and sat on some of the seats. We've tried seat 660 and 420 so far, and we'll continue as the day goes on. We even caught up with rugby legend...

Kia Ora! On today's show, we said (a temporary) goodbye to producer BHumps, who is about to have his first child with his partner tomorrow. So we opened up the phones and asked for your baby advice, some good little nuggets of advice in there! We also caught up with psychic Kimberley Stewart from The Channelling, who gave us her predictions on which seat 50 tickets to Six60 will be under, before w...

Hello! Today we broadcast from Christchurch again, but this time from Black Betty Cafe with our Free Coffee Fridays! We caught up with the famous Wizard of Christchurch and talked about how he became a wizard in the first place, whether he owns a TV and the story of his car that has two front ends! We also had a bit of an emergency in the hotel where the fire alarm went off, and we wanted to know...

Hello! Today we were broadcasting from Lincoln in Canterbury from an Orange Homes show home, a beautiful new build! Jono decided to give away some new appliances from the show home, not sure if he was allowed to, but he did anyway! We also discussed the most bizarre places you've slept or fallen asleep; one caller fell asleep while getting a rib tattoo... Last night we also stitched up Jono in Chr...

Hello! On today's show, Ben shared the one nickname he hates being called because it feels condescending. This OPENED THE FLOODGATES, and we had many people share the nicknames that get under their skin. We also discussed what the best seat you've ever sat in was - did you get upgraded on a plane? Did you sit next to a celebrity at a restaurant? All that and more random chats in today's podcast! S...

We caught up with Chris Mac again this morning after Jono requested FIFTY tickets to Six60's Eden Park concert so that we can give them away. Chris is giving us 50 but only on one agreement... We also chatted to listener Lisa who recently got married, and she wants to finally join bank accounts with her husband, but he isn't keen. What should she do? Is it fine to have separate bank accounts when...

Today we caught up with UK correspondent Gavin Grey, who filled us in on all the details surrounding Prince Philip's life, death & upcoming funeral. He then shared a story about how he nearly knocked the Queen to the floor when he was reporting... AWKWARD! We also wanted to see how many other people had met the Royals, one caller said Prince Philip & The Queen visited her in the hospital when she...

Happy Friiiiiday! The other night we hosted our 5 Words Pub Quiz, where we played our daily game in person with a bunch of wonderful people! But Jono was doing something throughout the night that was also captured on our Facebook live stream. Something that you don't necessarily want people to see! We also continued on yesterday's topic of what your claim to fame is. Yesterday we spoke to Kanye We...

This is crazy. Today we spoke about what your claim to fame is. Both of us, in hindsight, had quite mediocre claims to fame. But my word, some of our listeners phoned up with stories about their crazy interactions with celebrities like Kanye West, Meghan Markle and Victoria Beckham. We were also joined by comedian Dai Henwood, as the new season of 7 Days starts again tonight. Finally, Ben's dog Be...

On today's episode of the podcast, we discussed which emoji's classify you as "old", and turns out Jono has some skeletons in his closet when we looked at his most frequently used emoji... We also had Becky on who is due to give birth soon. She wants her own mother in the birthing suite with her, but not her mother-in-law... And the mother-in-law wants to be there. What should she do!? Finally, Jo...

Kia Ora! On today's show, we chatted about your childhood dream job and whether you ended up pursuing it. Over the weekend, we received the loveliest compliment from a stranger, but what happened 2 minutes later was not what we expected! Finally, Jono went down another wormhole, this time, giving us 29 INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT BRAD PITT. (We didn't let him read out all 29, don't worry!) ENJOY THE P...
