Jono, Ben & Megan - The Podcast

Today we were joined by Guy Sebastian, we've never interviewed him before and he was the nicest guy who has a new single out now and album on Friday! Jono also went out for dinner last night, got some exceptional service from the staff who were offering him all sorts of lovely dishes, but something happened that he didn't expect. We also revisited a topic we tried to talk about yesterday until our...

Happy Tuesday! Today we were joined by former PM Helen Clark and she RATED politicians, past and present and she was ruthless! Ben also experienced boomers playing board games, and it's almost funnier than boomers on technology. We chatted about the cannabis referendum and played some audio from when we caught up with Chloe Swarbrick (yes advocate from The Greens) and Aaron Ironside (no advocate f...

Hello hello! This morning we were back in the studio after spending the weekend in Taupo for our $10K Tee Off! We didn't get any balls in, so does that make our time in Taupo completely pointless? Who knows. Buuuut we gave away that $10K on the show today! And we dished a bit about what went on that you wouldn't have seen or heard, like how Jono nearly got kidnapped in Auckland... We were also joi...

Over the last fortnight, Jono and Ben have been giving away 1000 balls to 1000 listeners. In this edition of the Jono and Ben podcast, the boys attempted the Lake Taupo Hole In One, if they strike a Hole In One on any of the assigned balls, the listener with that number ball wins!

On today's show, we were joined by Matiu & Chris from Six60 as they announce their epic summer tour. For all those deets head to thehits.co.nz! Jono also had to have the birds and bees chat with his 7-year-old daughter Poppy after she saw something on TV... and we got some epic calls on the most awkward questions your children have asked you. Reception Reception also made a comeback! If it's the f...

On today's podcast we sent Millennial Max through a McDonalds drive-thru in our golf buggy, and Jono made him order 39 smoothies! Have a listen to see how that one played out... Jono also discussed how great it is folding sheets until one particular moment that happens. We discussed present crimes (Ben left the price tag on a present, that's #illegal) and finally, Stan Walker joined us on the show...

Kia Ora! So last night (if you didn't see it on our Instagram and Facebook pages), Jono was caught COMMITTING A CRIME on Seven Sharp and Ben confronted him about it. Naughty Jono. We also sent Millennial Max out in a golf cart to hand out some golf balls to the people of the public and they weren't having a bar of it! Finally, after Jono questioned why he is automatically considered the "refreshme...

WE'RE BAAAAAAACK!!!! Although this is probably more of a curse than a blessing. Your earholes would've had a lovely break from the sound of our voices yapping at you! Today Jono was wondering why in the middle of the night, his kids always wake HIM up when they're thirsty, and not his wife Jen. We also wanted to know if anyone has ever met Donald Trump or been inside the White House, and we had Mi...

Happy Friday females and fellas! Today we chatted to a clairvoyant to see whether she thinks we'll land the hole in one when we go to Taupo in a couple of weeks... Will we get lucky? Let's hope so! Also, our producer Juliet just found out that we may be interviewing the actor who plays Neville Longbottom from Harry Potter. We really had to calm her down on the show. Finally, Graham Henry joined us...

Hello loyal listeners! Today we played Reception Reception but with a bit of a twist. After weeks of Jono leaving embarrassing messages about Ben to random receptionists around the country, Ben finally got his revenge and did it to Jono for the first time. And boy did he get revenge! We also chatted to a lady who hit two holes in one, during ONE round of golf! She gave us inspiration for when we g...

Welcome to Wednesday's episode of the podcast! Today we talked a bit more about how we want to give away $10,000 that you could potentially win. We've settled on attempting to win the money by getting a hole in one at Taupo's hole in one challenge. We'll have 1000 shots at it, but we had to bring in Boss Todd to discuss a contingency plan if we don't win the $10K. Because regardless, we still want...

Hello hello hello! Welcome to another episode of our poddy. Today we were joined by Kiwi actor Karl Urban who you may know from Star Trek, Thor Ragnarok, Lord of the Rings and many more films. We put him to the test to see how well he can remember his own movies and characters. We also want to give away $10,000 but we don't actually have that money, so we're settling on the idea to go down to Taup...

Kia Ora! Big shoutout to Jono's mum Annie Pryor who is an avid listener of our podcast! We even called Annie to chat about the podcast and Jono's questionable driving habits. Ben also had some explaining to do at home when he accidentally searched something inappropriate on the computer. Finally, Ben said if he was in government, he would make voicemails illegal (because let's be honest, they are...

KIA ORA AOTEAROA! (And Kia Ora if you're in another country too). Today on the poddy we had Jacinda Ardern AND Judith Collins... Not at the same time though, we didn't want to start a fight on air 😉We also discussed a couple of Zoom fails. Jono had a shocker yesterday when we interviewed someone over Zoom, and then Ben's mum had a shocker in a public Zoom meeting with strangers. We also got Jacin...

Reception Reception is back, and it may be one of our favourites. Let's just say there's a live birth on air. It lowkey deserves an Oscar. Jono also shared a gross habit that his friend had BC (Before Covid) which nowadays would just be considered disgustingly outrageous. We were also joined by cricketer Brendon McCullum, who has a new TV show "This Could Go Anywhere" where he goes on a roadie aro...

Kia Ora Aotearoa (and to those also listening in other countries!) This morning we crossed to some big news from a small town. A man named Keith who lives in Kerikeri is known for going around and picking up other people's rubbish, for no payment or anything, he's just a good bloke! Him and his wife were absolute characters, people reckon we need to bring them on for a regular segment! We also spo...

Today we delved into the life of Ben's mum and how she is a massive hoarder. You name it, she probably hoards it. (She even hoards cake crumbs... no clue why). We also wanted to know about your special set of skills. Jono's Dad can swat flies with his own bare hands. And listener Jules brought something INCREDIBLE to the table! Finally, Jono spent a few minutes breaking down the lyrics of the Pina...

Kia Ora friends! On today's podcast episode Ben chatted about him and his wife's 12th wedding anniversary over the weekend and how it slightly went wrong.. Also behind the scenes we've been roasting Jono for the massive font he has on his phone, which sparked a topic - what is the boomer thing you're doing? Jono also shared how he's absolutely useless with drones (crashes them, loses them, you nam...

Today we interviewed Peter Andre, the man behind the hit song "Mysterious Girl" and he's a bloody good chap! We also talked about how a man in Thailand was doing his business on the toilet and a python came up and bit his you know what... Which sparked a funny topic - your bathroom injuries. Finally, Ben shared a story about how he embarrassed himself in public by choking on a chilli. Enjoy the Fr...

Reception reception time again! Jono left an embarrassing message to a receptionist for them to pass on to Ben. It's our favourite segment! We also wanted to know what secrets you've hidden from your parents and we had some outrageous calls. Finally, we caught up with Jazz Thornton, an awesome Kiwi who has done a lot for the stigma around mental health in New Zealand. She has a new movie out and t...

Today on the show Ben told an awkwardly unfortunate story about something that happened with his dog yesterday. It was a shambles. We also did another round of News Jargon, where Jono had to call a cafe, make a reservation, all while slipping in topical words that Ben was holding up in front of him. We also chatted to the owner of Shrek the Sheep, which you may remember as the sheep that hadn't be...

On today's show, a prank we played on Jono last week backfired at home with Ben! Jono's also been getting some passive-aggressive messages from his mechanic and wants to know if that is normal. We also spoke to Michael Galvin (Chris Warner from Shortland Street) and Rosemary Dempsey, the creator of the Kiwi Onion Dip, as part of our Kiwi Referendumb. Enjoy! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy...

Hello Monday! We're on a mission to find New Zealand's ultimate Kiwi icon. We're giving you guys something to vote on, since the general election and referendums are being delayed. So today it was Richie McCaw vs. Cheese Rolls. And we talked to an absolute character from an Invercargill cafe who shared her Nana's recipe! Ben also shared the adorably hilarious Father's Day poem his daughter Sienna...

Happy Friday! On today's poddy we chatted to Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern about the current Covid situation in NZ, what it's like to prep for her press conferences and if she ever wishes she could have a day off. We also crossed to some Big News from a Small Town - where in Upper Hutt, an Elvis impersonation competition is going on. We talked to hilarious Kathy about it. Finally, we covered our w...

Reception Reception is baaaaaack! And today's one was a little different... Ben also had a bit of an incident with hand sanitiser, one where it spilled all over an area you don't want spillage! Finally, we discussed the weird things you got paid for and one caller was absolutely golden. Enjoy! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
