Jono, Ben & Megan - The Podcast

Today there was some gossip in the school grounds... A mother has made an Only Fans account, and everybody is talking about it. Should she get off Only Fans for her childrens' sake? (If you don't know what Only Fans is, it's a platform where people pay to see *raunchy* content, so in this case, people would pay the mother to see her pictures...) So we discuss Only Fans, and then we debated whether...

Hello fine people of Aotearoa (and around the world, if you're not in the Land of the Long White Cloud)! Today we were joined by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, and in classic Jono and Ben fashion, we sprung a pop quiz on her. What was the last thing she Googled; we find out! We also talked about the UK's largest family, where the couple have TWENTY-TWO CHILDREN. Very impressive! So we wanted to kn...

Hello! On today's show we were joined by the stunt double of Chris Hemsworth, who's also been a stunt double for Tom Cruise, Ryan Reynolds and Daniel Craig, and he spilt all the secrets of what it's like working so closely with these stars! We also had our third winner for 5 Words for $5K; Tabby from Wellington took it out, proving that her and Ben's great minds do think alike! We also had someone...

On today's show we had a bit of fun discussing what our children would be called if we named them after the place we met our partners. We had some brilliant calls, one person's child would be called The Grumpy Mole! You probably couldn't get much worse. We also reflected on memories from the school tuckshop - Juicies, McCain's Hawaiian pizzas, when your mum would be working behind the counter and...

Kia Ora and happy Friday! Today on the show we discussed our producer Juliet's excessive water consumption, and so we flipped it on its head and wanted to find someone who hasn't drank water in the longest amount of time. And Marty called up who hasn't had it in 35 years! What he drinks instead is INSANE. We also discussed the fact that Jono ruined a friend's big surprise. Classic, that big mouth...

Kia Ora! Today we were joined by SURPRISE bachelor, Moses Mackay! He's in the kiwi singing trio SOL3MIO and is a wonderful man, we're sure the ladies will be lining up! Who even knew we were going to have a Bachelor while the Bachelorette is still going on!? We also have a long-time listener who is not happy with Jono, after he made a promise to her YEARS ago that he still hasn't fulfilled. Finall...

Ben got given something for free and he thought it would be the perfect present for his friend for his birthday. But his wife thinks otherwise. Is it ok for him to regift? Has this ever happened to you? We spoke to some people who had also been CAUGHT regifting. Oh dear lord that's embarrassing. We also chatted about whether you owe your kids money, because as we know, they can be very sneaky and...

Kia Ora! Today on the show we had a woman with a bit of an engagement dilemma. Her partner has asked her father for her hand in marriage, but a year later, he still hasn't proposed. What should she do? Should she be patient and keep waiting for him to propose, or should she front foot it with him? We also created another *classic* Jono and Ben parody song to remind you of the different Alert Level...

Hello and happy Monday, or is it a happy Monday...? Auckland's back to Level 3 and the rest of the country is at Level 2. Hopefully, everyone is feeling ok, we've got faith that we can nip this outbreak in the bud! Hopefully, our show can provide a bit of distraction or relief from what's going on! We were joined by Stan Walker, who has a new reality TV show out tonight on TVNZ 2 at 8.30pm, called...

A couple of days until VALENTINE'S DAY! Whether or not you like to celebrate Valentine's, we discussed whether girls really like receiving flowers!? Ben isn't too keen on them as they tend to die rather quickly. Although, we had a caller on who had a really good idea of giving flowers but ensuring they don't die. GENIUS! We also decided to each call our wives while they were working, say "I love y...

Today on the show we tried a weird combination that "Weetabix" (the UK's version of Weetbix) claims is a great breakfast meal. That combo is Weetbix & Baked Beans.. Bizarre! We tried it and it was surprisingly not as bad as we expected. We then chatted about other odd breakfast foods. One person eats pancakes with mustard! That's a crime! We also chatted to a band from the Waikato, whose gear had...

Now that kids are back to school, everyone's at work, the morning routines and school drop-offs are getting hectic again! Jono's wife Jen spends a lot of time in the car in the morning dropping their two kids off at different schools, before having to come into work herself. And we asked you guys if you have an even busier morning drop off routine! We also caught up with a 14-year-old boy from Tau...

Today we had our second WINNER for 5 Words for $5K - Emma from Auckland! She trusted Jono to match her words, and HE DID! She's now 5K richer and we're doing it all again tomorrow live on The Hits at 7.45am. Over the long weekend, Jono basically had a Mexican standoff with a snapper in the ocean... It sure was weird. Pun intended. Finally, we talked about the most embarrassing moments that have ha...

How wonderful is that feeling on a Friday going into a long weekend... NOTHING BETTER! You may be aware of the huge song at the moment called Driver's License by Olivia Rodrigo, and it got us thinking about our shocking driver's license tests. But surely we aren't the only shockers! Breaking arms, failing after 50 metres; you guys had some brilliant stories. We also called a small town called Lawr...

Today we deep-dived into a bit of a dilemma. A friend of someone we work with is a bridesmaid at her friend's wedding, but she has a bit of an issue with the groom. Should she advise her friend against marrying him? It's a bit of an awkward situation! Both of us also had a medical exam yesterday and we BOTH had shockers (in terms of urine samples... Whoops). Finally, if you don't follow the Instag...

On today's show, we absolutely roasted Jono for something he did while on holiday. It's one of those things the majority of the population would avoid at all costs, but alas, Mr Jono Pryor, he's a bit different! We also discussed the fact that Jono has been donating to an endangered panda charity for years, and the DIFFICULTY to cancel those sorts of automatic payments is unreal! It seems you have...

Kia ora! Today we were joined by Bachelorette host Art Green after the debut of The Bachelorette NZ season 2, which was on TVNZ 2 last night (and again tonight at 7.30pm). We revisited some old moments from his season as The Bachelor, what a throwback! Also, if you watched the Bachelorette, you'll know the many ways the men try to impress Lexie. Basketballs, songs, drawings etc! So we wanted to se...

Kia Ora! Today we had the new Bachelorette in studio, Lexie Brown! We decided to test Lexie's memory with a fun game involving a bunch of men from the office. The Bachelorette debuts tonight on TVNZ 2 at 7.30pm and it looks to be a goodie! We also talked to a lady from a town in the West Coast called Kumara, who hadn't watched TV in YEARS AND YEARS. When you find out how long, you'll be baffled. T...

Happy Friday! We've got some new parody songs... Yes, sorry if they hurt your ears. Ben presented one called "Moley" from Justin Bieber's song "Holy", and Jono presented "Procrastinating" from Dua Lipa's "Levitating". You be the judge as to whether they're any good! Also, during the school holidays, Ben's daughters have been experimenting with their potential future careers; specifically, newsread...

Kia ora! Today we chatted with the world's fastest talker (he's even in the Guinness World Record book), John Moschitta. And my word, him saying the Peter Piper tongue twister is NEXT LEVEL! Ben also shared that his wife has a new song that whips their kids into shape when it comes to cleaning, and it's rather catchy. Finally, do women like it when they take their partners shopping? We delved into...

Happy hump day! Today we were joined by a member of the Foo Fighters which was super exciting, and Jono revealed the bizarre thing that he spotted in his neighbour's backyard... potentially a bit strange for a backyard in the city!? And our Producer, Juliet, has just come back from 3 weeks in the bush with no technology or news updates. She completely missed the storming of the Capitol in the US,...

Our BIG competition of the year 5 Words for $5,000 went crazy today as Hayley scored herself $5K after matching 5 Words with Ben! Today we caught up with Hannah McQueen who gave us some hot tips on saving some quick cash. We talk about things you have lost and found, and chat to TV personality Matt Chisholm about a dramatic tale after he lost his laptop (which also had the only copy of his half-wr...

Happy Monday e te whānau, and Happy Wellington Anniversary Day! Today 5 Words for $5,000 was back with Ben and listener trying to match their 5 words. We also talk about times when you or someone you know broke Wedding etiquette. Who had the biggest breach of wedding etiquette?! Jono also took his kids to town on the weekend and the kids got on the karaoke machine. The result is RIDICULOUS!! 😂 Se...

Happy Friday, e te whānau! On today's show, we catch up with legendary Kiwi actor Oscar Kightley who spoke to us about his film Dawn Raid, which he directed, and is out now. We also chat about the fallout following President Joe Biden's inauguration and it's concert, featuring a stellar cast. Plus, we play Jono & Ben's 5 Words for $5,000, where Katrina gets the closest we've got yet to winning $5,...

Kia ora koutou katoa and welcome to another edition of the Jono & Ben Podcast!! On the show today we caught up with President Joe Biden ahead of his inauguration as the 46th President of the United States. If you missed the news earlier this week we launched our new game '5 Words For $5k' and it may have gone off today... Sorry Boss Todd. We also asked for your calls and text about the most annoyi...
