Jono, Ben & Megan - The Podcast

Kia Ora! It was the NZ TV awards last night, and although Dr Ashley Bloomfield was nominated for personality of the year, he then pulled out and instead Hilary Barry from TVNZ's Seven Sharp won, still just as deserving though! We caught up with Hilz Baz about her night and her win, and her apparent love of the bar. We also discussed how Matthew McConaughey's mum openly talked about the fact that h...

Hello hello! Yesterday Ben accidentally took his wife's keys to work meaning she had to Uber to work yesterday and also couldn't lock the house... And now Ben has lost his wife's keys and can't remember where he put them, making the situation worse! So we asked you guys what the most important thing you've lost is and we had some goodies call through! We also caught up with Tim Lightbourne from In...

Producer Humphrey revealed who our big celebrity guest is this Thursday! And some of you guessed it on our social media... We also played another round of Man Vs. Child where Jono took on a 9 year old in a quiz. We caught up with Jack Tame about his experience doing hotel quarantine, and how he even went in the White House! And Doggy Dan joined us again to ask your dog related questions, he's veee...

Hello all! Hope you had a lovely weekend. Our producer Humphrey has locked in a guest for us to interview on Thursday and he is very happy with himself, says they are HUGE and have a monstrous career. But we don't know who it is yet, and neither do you. So, we played "Guess The Guest" and found out a little bit more about who they are with Producer Humphrey giving us yes & no answers. Jono also to...

Happy Friday! Ben discovered something on the internet - a person cooking their steak in a toaster.... So we asked you guys what products you use in an alternative way, like straightening hair with an iron and cooking things on hair straighteners! We caught up with Chris Hipkins, COVID-19 response minister, about the latest case in Auckland, and Jono asked him whether he likes the name "Hippo" (be...

Today on the show Jono got into an internet hole of the "7 signs he's cheating" and so we then chatted to private investigator Julia Hartley Moore to see if those signs are actually legit, and my word it was juuuuuicy! Julia and her team are literally hired to see if their clients partners are cheating. Juicy stuff. While we were on the road to Kerikeri yesterday we met someone who met their partn...

So we've spent the most part of our lives being on TV and radio, but when people ask us to tell us a joke we can never think of one. Jono always reverts back to one that's EXTREMELY dated and not very family friendly...! So we went on the hunt for the best joke and my lord there were some goodies. We even got Guy Williams on to judge the best ones! Jono also bought something for his house that he...

On today's show we had the iconic yodelling Topp Twins in - Lynda and Jools, and they even tried to teach us how to yodel! Jono also whipped out a lie detector and put Ben to the test. Does he love his dog more than his children? Does he clog up public toilets? Find out in the podcast! And Ben's wife Amanda discussed why she would never split up with Ben. And the reason is.... interesting haha! En...

Hello hello and welcome to another Monday! Today we spoke to someone who met Trump prior to his presidency and he gave us all the goss about what he was like in person. Ben's daughter also got muddled up with some body parts, calling one part of her body something that only men have, not realising what she had said! And we had some fantastic calls on the funny things your kids have said. We also d...

Today we chatted to Michelle Dickinson who you may know as Nanogirl, she's a scientist but we talked to her about when she MET Joe Biden! He was in the country in 2016 and she was lucky enough to hang out with him & his family, and she dished all the goss! We also wanted to know the bizarre things that turned up in your backyard and my lord we got some weird stories. Paul Henry joined us to talk a...

The US election is a TIGHT RACE! We caught up again with Jack Tame to get the latest on the vibe, especially because as we all went to sleep last night it seemed that Trump was going to win, but as we were waking up, Biden was more in the lead! WOWEE! Ben also shared a story about how he had a very lame date night with his wife Amanda, but it was self-inflicted *good one Ben...* and we had some hi...

Good lord, it's US election day today, what a stressful time for the world! And to celebrate, we went through our favourite moments from Donald Trump and all the ridiculous things he has said over the past 4 years as president. We also caught up with someone who possibly has one of the coolest/most interesting jobs in the world. We also wanted to hear why your job was the coolest because lets be h...

Today was an absolute ripper. Jono pulled possibly the greatest prank on Ben today with the help of the whole team behind the scenes. Days of planning, money spent and secret meetings were what it took to pull it off. And we did, we HOOK LINE AND SINKERED Benjamin Ross Boyce! It's first up on the podcast so you won't miss it. We also had Doggy Dan from Dog Almighty on the show to answer questions...

Monday, we meet again. On today's podcast we called a Kiwi cafe in Idaho that sells meat pies (because they traditionally aren't a thing in America) called Kiwi Shake and Bake, to chat about their pies (bet ya they wont be as good as the pies in NZ 😉) and the vibe ahead of the US election! Jono also shared a story about how he had to coach his son's basketball team and how much of a shambles he i...

Happy Friday & Halloween eve! Today we went on a shopping spree and paid for a bunch of lovely listeners' online shopping with our company card, which was a great feeling and we think we may do it again next week! So head to our Insta & Facebook pages and let us know what is currently sitting in your shopping cart that you just can't bring yourself to buy, and we may get it for you! We also talked...

On today's podcast, Ben shared a rather embarrassing situation he had at a shop yesterday that involved his daughter and chocolate ice cream - a weird situation that he didn't handle very well! We were also joined by Neil Finn, who has just announced that he and the rest of Crowded House are touring NZ next year, how good! Finally, we wanted to find someone who has had the CHEAPEST wedding. Has an...

Kia Ora! On today's show, we sent Millennial Max out to a petrol station and Kmart to pay for people's fuel & buy gifts on our new company credit card! Even though we still don't know how much is on there! Ben's daughter is also very keen on setting up some hidden cameras in the house to catch a culprit, and this culprit may surprise you. Finally, we wanted to know about the low level car crimes t...

How gooooood is going to work on a Tuesday when it feels like a Monday!? Hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend. Something wonderful happened to us this morning. A few weeks ago Jono put a request in for a company credit card as a bit of a joke, not expecting anything from it. But one arrived for us today! So we sent Millennial Max off to see if there was any money on it. Ben also got recognis...

How GOOD is the feeling going into a long weekend?! Today we caught up with the boys from Drax Project who have a new song out, and Jono showed off a skill we never knew he had! Jono also had a bone to pick with Ben about something he's been doing for a while - he's been USING Jono without him realising! Ellen Degeneres (or Evil Ellen as Jono and producer Juliet like to call her!) has a new haircu...

Happy "Little Friday" as we like to call Thursday! Today we had a big guest on the show, the actor who played Neville Longbottom in the Harry Potter films! Matthew Lewis is his real name and he's starring alongside Kiwi actress Rose Matafeo in a hilarious new film called Baby Done. Ben mentioned that last night he was so tired after work he accidentally put cat food into the washing machine instea...

'Ello 'ello! Today on the show, Australian singer Jimmy Barnes joined us to talk about his new book that's out, which involves a crazy story about Rod Stewart at a bar with a grand piano. We also had an old friend of ours, Guy Williams, come on and talk about his new TV show Taskmaster NZ and all the shenanigans he got up to. As well as this, we played a good old game of word tennis but two caller...

Hello Tuesday! On today's podcast, we caught up with comedian Urzila Carlson, who shared some stories about judging The Masked Singer and her very bizarre experiences in hotel quarantine. Jono also shared an awkward story about bumping into the same lady three times at the traffic lights, after he had already exhausted conversation with her! As well as this, Ben committed a washing crime at home t...

Kia Ora! Today was the Jono and Benee show... Yes. Kiwi singer Benee joined us for a chat and even signed an absentee form for Ben's daughters as to why they couldn't be at school today... as they were too busy being in the studio to meet her! Our new show on TVNZ 2 launches tonight as well - Dog Almighty. So we had Doggy Dan in to answer any questions you may have, he's a dog expert! Also with ou...

'Twas a big show today! We were joined by PM Jacinda Ardern, and a couple of cameos made an appearance in the interview - her partner Clarke Gayford and Ben's daughter Sienna (who asked her some hard-hitting questions!) Jacinda wasn't the only MP to join us though, Judith Collins from the National party and James Shaw and Marama Davidson from the Greens also joined us on the show. A VERY POLITICAL...

Kia Ora! On today's podcast we had Reception Reception, this time Ben was supposedly "applying to be on The Bachelor". On another note, Ben admitted to us that he cried in the middle of Whitcoulls... The reason why is adorable. We also wanted to know the worst things about being an adult, and finally, John Campbell, Hilary Barry and Winston Peters were on the show!
