Jono, Ben & Megan - The Podcast

Today we made MAJOR progress with obtaining Mike Hosking's car! Even though Boss Todd tried to make us rethink our decisions on the show, the tow truck came and got the job done! Tune in tomorrow to hear Mike's reaction when he realised his car was gone... In other non-Mike-Hosking-news, Jono's daughter got a new pet without him knowing, and we also chatted to the man who first taught Taylor Swift...

We had comedian (also the voice of PaknSave's Stick Man) Paul Ego, in studio. He told the greatest story about how he swallowed a dental instrument... and what happened after. We're also trying to figure out how we can get our hands on Mike Hosking's Jaguar so we can give it away - and we're slowly making progress because we've organised a tow truck!! One step closer baby! Finally, Jono told a sto...

Imagine being put in the African wilderness for 21 days with nothing but a machete and bow & arrow, WHILE BEING NAKED THE WHOLE TIME! We had Amber & Serena Shine on, who did just that, for the TV show Naked & Afraid. Ben also told a hilarious story about a Secret Santa present gone wrong. Enjoy the poddy!

Jono has pitched an idea to take Mike Hosking's car and give it to a listener to borrow... Not sure whether we could get away with it or if it'll work but we might give it a shot! We also held a vote as to whether $20 Karen should be our political correspondent between now and the election because she has some very strong hilarious views. Enjoy Friday's podcast friends! See omnystudio.com/listener...

You know how all the Karens in the world are getting flak on social media? How they are portrayed as whiny and obnoxious? Well we wanted to prove that not all Karens are like this, by getting one of our favourite Karens on.. TWENTY DOLLAR KAREN! And my god did she deliver. She also gave her two cents on the current political dramas and we're now considering her to be our new political corresponden...

We spoke to someone yesterday who has 19 nieces and nephews and wanted to see if anyone could beat that, and WE DIDN'T REALISE HOW BIG SOME FAMILIES COULD BE!! Our famous wonderful listener Barb came on the show again and told us how her car exploded... And Ben had an awkward encounter with a courier driver. Enjoy today's poddy! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We were joined by the lovely Delta Goodrem and played a goooood old fashioned Jono & Ben prank on her. We also chatted about how as a parent you are basically an unpaid personal assistant... And, do you have your tomato sauce on top of your fries or on the side? Even Nadia Lim weighed in! Enjoy today's podcast. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kia Ora! On today's show, we discussed alternative uses for products after one man used Marmite instead of glue as a binder... Bizzare, but we had some goodies come through! Ben also shared some of the embarrassing songs on his phone that came on shuffle at a dinner party. Also, we talked to some people who were named after brands or famous people. Happy Monday! See omnystudio.com/listener for pri...

Happy Friday friends! Jono brought back three way calling (does anyone remember that!?) and tested it out on Ben's wife Amanda... HILARIOUS. We also got to chat with singer Anne Marie as well as NZ Olympian Valerie Adams. And Ben's daughters proved they are the future of journalism - he played some adorable audio of them doing the news. Enjoy! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's show we talked to the lady who threw a sex toy at Steven Joyce a few years ago (you may or may not know the viral video, if you don't, please search it up. It'll make your day)! Jono also tabled an issue he's having at home about butter. Finally our game Reception Reception made a comeback, where Jono phones an unsuspecting receptionist with an embarrassing message for Ben, but will the...

Hey mates! Today we spoke to Judith Collins, the new leader of the National Party, as well as JAWSH 685 who collaborated with Jason Derulo on Savage Love which is topping the UK charts! Finally, we talked bizarre birth stories and Carol-Anne went into a loooot of detail about her birth! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This morning we caught up with the boys from SOL3 MIO. Ben's mum loves them so we decided to call her and put her "on hold" (when in fact it was just SOL3 MIO performing) to see if she would notice! Ben also explained how his wife absolutely put him to shame (once again apparently). Finally, we caught up with Tammy Wells (AKA the Briscoes lady) and discussed the way we should fold towels, because...

Ben told a story about his daughter's new band name, but what would Jono & Ben call themselves if they were a band? Jono made it inappropriate obviously! Ben's Duets made a return, this time he teamed up with Sia to sing Chandelier. And even better, Jono turned Ben's Duets into an album! Finally we caught up with Charlie from the viral video Charlie Bit My Finger (and his brother Harry whose finge...

If you're a Kiwi and you don't know who $20 Karen is, well, have we got the podcast for you. A voice message she left for someone went viral a few years ago, and we had her on the show - you'll love it because she is such a classic Kiwi character. Jono also had a new addition to his "look" that the rest of the team hadn't noticed so he front footed that! Finally, Ben fell asleep in an interesting...

Reception Reception is back! This is one of our favourite prank segments where Jono calls a random receptionist, asks for them to pass on a message to Ben, and then Ben has to call them up and receive that message. But the thing is, the message is awkwardly embarrassing. We're also on a mission to narrow down the greatest viral videos of all time to show to one of our wonderful listeners Barb who...

On today's show, we chatted to Barb who has NEVER BEEN ON THE INTERNET! Well actually she kind of has, but she hasn't seen Charlie Bit My Finger and all the other great viral videos! So we're going on a mission to narrow down the best videos on the internet to show Barb and it's going to be great! Jono also brought some more car chat to the show but today it was all about honking horns. Also, we t...

Hey podcasters! On today's episode, Ben shared a story about how he got himself in trouble with his wife because of a secret that involved the babysitter... Jono also provides a hack or two on how to get out of parking tickets #NAUGHTY! Finally, we chatted to a dad who's been in quarantine in a hotel with his two kids... and he hasn't gone crazy (yet)! All that and more, happy days! See omnystudio...

On today's podcast we chatted to Jacinda Ardern and she dictated the length of our interview... Because she could stop the interview as soon as we asked her a question that she's been asked before! Jono also surprised Ben with a very strange item from his childhood. Finally, we chatted to Dorothy Pattison - the oldest woman (at age 91) to jump off Auckland's Harbour Bridge! Happy Monday folks! See...

Kia Ora podcasters! Today was Pledge for Plunket day at The Hits - where we try and raise money for Plunket so they can keep doing the epic work they do for families and babies in New Zealand. To celebrate, Jono dressed in a nappy (see the pics on our social media @thehitsbreakfast) and Ben had to call our CEO and speak to him in a baby voice... It was weird! We also threw it out there to see if w...

Good morning good evening or goodnight for whenever you're listening. Today we sprung a pop quiz on an unsuspecting New Zealander and she took it like a champ! We also played one of our favourite games Reception Reception - where we leave messages for each other via other receptions to see if they'll pass it on. Also Ben told a story about how he found some cannabis frozen in a hotel room... Juicy...

In today's podcast, we continue with our A to Z and we call Bunnythorpe, a lovely village just north of Palmerston North and apparently the residents there would prefer to live in Bunnythorpe over Hawaii, Italy and anywhere else in the world! Michael Galvin AKA Dr Chris Warner from Shortland Street also joined us, and Ben told a hilarious yarn about someone being stitched up after they had a littl...

We continue phoning every town and city in NZ with our 'A to Z' and today we called Bulls, AKA Ben's favourite town because it's full of puns. Also, after Ben took home Jono's Alexa, Jono got Alexa to reveal all the questions Ben had asked it (#stitchup). Finally, we had Paula Bennett on after she announced her retirement. What a funny lady she is. Enjoy! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy in...

Happy Monday! On today's podcast we call Broadwood (or so we think) for our A-Z of New Zealand and end up chatting to some absolute Kiwi characters. We also wrote a parody song about David Clark's recent controversial antics. Also Ben had a humbling experience at the courier when he saw their #HallOfFame! Enjoy ladies & gents! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jono had a bit of a haircut horror (yes you're thinking correctly, how can he when he's bald?!), we also talked about Mum-ribilia: the things of yours that your mum refuses to throw out. Not only that, but we also got the cast of Harry Potter on, in a very special way! Enjoy the poddy & enjoy the weekend! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's episode, Jono introduced an alarm clock that you should have... Awfully inspirational... Until it took a turn! We also wondered whether artists get annoyed when radio hosts like us talk all over the intros of their songs, so we called Chris Mac from Six60 to see. Jono also got trapped in a bathroom but he deserved it! All that and more, ENJOY. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy inf...
