In this episode, Mike Hosking swings by for a surprisingly honest chat that goes way beyond radio. From his brutal 2:30am starts to the super quiet life he lives off-air, Mike opens up about the routines and mindset that have kept him at the top for so long.
He talks about why overthinking is a waste of time, why being “liked” doesn’t really matter, and why just showing up every day is half the job done.
Mike turns the spotlight back on the hosts and proves exactly why he’s still one of the biggest names in broadcasting.

WOW. It finally happened.
For two seasons, Sienna’s dream podcast guest has been global superstar Rita Ora - and in this episode, Rita doesn’t just join the podcast… she surprises Sienna in the studio!
After seeing Ben get a Rita Ora tattoo for his daughter go viral on social media, Rita reached out and said she had to do the podcast - leading to an emotional and unforgettable face to face moment.
Sienna and Ben chat with Rita about:
- The epic surprise moment when Sienna is surprised by her idol and dream guest
- How Rita saw the tattoo online, got in touch, why it made her emotional and whether Ben has made things awkward with her husband Taika Waititi
- Growing up feeling different - and learning to back yourself
- Early pop star dreams, broken promises, and pushing through setbacks
- What Rita has learnt about dealing with fame, nerves, and confidence
- Juggling music, fashion, TV talent shows, acting roles - and knowing what to say yes to
- How she manages a hectic global schedule without burning out
Plus, plenty of Kiwi chat, including:
- What Rita loves about being in New Zealand
- Her favourite Kiwi food and favourite place in the country
- Her favourite New Zealand entertainers (that aren’t her husband)
- Whether she has a favourite Taika Waititi movie
And, of course… What she’d tell her younger self at Sienna’s age
It’s a really special, emotional episode about big dreams and how a tattoo ended up changing everything!
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this special bonus episode, Sienna and her dad Ben headed to Wellington (by plane - not flying creature) for the Avatar: Fire & Ash premiere. They sat down with legendary director James Cameron to chat about borrowing his Avatar pool, how Avatar first came to him in a dream, whether he’d change anything about Titanic if he made it today, and where Ben should (or absolutely should not) be allowed to display his Avatar children's toy at home. It’s a seriously funny and fascinating conversation.
They also caught up with three of the film’s stars: iconic Kiwi actor Cliff Curtis, Avatar’s Jake Sully himself, Sam Worthington, and Jack Champion, who plays Spider. Cliff reveals why he hates watching his own movies, all three share the very different ways they landed their roles, and the group weighs in on whether Ben should show up to pick Sienna up from school in full Avatar costume.
Plus: behind-the-scenes chaos including sharing a room with a snoring dad, red carpet Dad jokes, school leave approval drama, and a pair of broken shoes.
Avatar: Fire & Ash hits cinemas from December 18.

Our friend Tom Sainsbury has released a new season of his murder-mystery podcast Small Town Scandal. We wanted to share the first episode with you to try it out. We hope you enjoy! You can binge the first four episodes of the season here, right now.
When a human skull turns up under the 18th green at the Aldersgate Golf Course, golf podcaster Hugh Wyndham-Blythe is “volunteered” by his listen-hungry boss to investigate. Hugh’s initial reaction? Mild annoyance and a strong desire to get back to talking about swing tempo. But once he hears when the skull was buried, everything changes. This isn’t just some dusty cold case. Hugh starts to suspect he may have actually known the person whose head is now beneath his favourite hole.
Small Town Scandal is an 8-part mockumentary true-crime podcast all voiced by one incredible actor - Tom Sainsbury.

We've got a special guest in our podcast feed today! We're excited to share with you season 2 of When I Grow Up - the podcast from Ben and his daughter Sienna! If you like what you hear, follow the podcast wherever you're listening to this!
In the first episode of Season 2, Sienna and her Dad Ben, sit down with one of New Zealand’s greatest athletes, Dame Valerie Adams - someone she hopes to be like!
With Olympic gold medals, World Championship titles, and a career that has inspired a nation, Dame Valerie’s story is nothing short of legendary.
What makes this conversation so special is Valerie’s honesty about the challenges she faced growing up - from struggling to fit in as a teenager, to finding her purpose through sport, and building resilience through setbacks and injuries.
This conversation covers:
● Growing up with very little and feeling out of place as a teen because of her height
● Finding her purpose through sport and the mentors who guided her
● Handling setbacks, the effort it takes, and what it’s like competing on the world stage at the Olympic Games
● The achievements from Olympic Glory, becoming a Dame, having a Barbie doll made in her honour and where she keeps her medals!
● What Dame Valerie would tell her younger self and will she help Ben move rocks at home on the weekend!?
This episode is a powerful reminder that no matter where you start, you can achieve extraordinary things - and you don’t need to have it all figured out when you’re young (or at any age).

Warning - Bad Language Not For Small Ears
We've got a special guest in our podcast feed today! We're excited to share with you Producer Tayla's brand new podcast "The Montoyas". If you like what you hear, follow the podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts.
Follow: @themontoyaspodcast on TikTok and Instagram
About the Podcast:
Rugby League star Marcelo Montoya is a clean freak who makes sure everything in his life is ”just so”. His wife Tayla thrives on annoying her husband with her form of hilarious disorder, constantly keeping him on his toes. Once they start talking, the conversation could end up anywhere.
Join in as The Montoya’s lift the curtain on the life and relationship of Aussie imports assimilating into New Zealand as a newly married couple. Think Keeping Up with the Kardashians crossed with Modern Family and tune in for the podcast you never knew you needed.
About The Hosts:
Tayla Montoya is an ex-cheerleader, and current radio producer for Jono and Ben on The Hits. Her roots are from a large Italian Australian family, with all the passion and fire that comes with that.
Most importantly, she is like that friend at the BBQ that is constantly surprising the group with a new questionable take, internet-based obsession or just something to annoy her husband.
Marcelo Montoya is a Fijian Australian professional rugby league player and brings insight into what it actually means to be a professional sportsman. He is a little bit bogan, and a whole lot of a perfectionist. He strives for everything in his life to be centered and deliberate so he can perform at the highest level, while contending with his wife’s need to try and throw him off balance.

Enjoy the show!
After 5 weeks of putting people in the draw and then drawing out 5 finalists, lucky Catherine ended up winning the prize of her rent being paid for 12 months, and it was such an awesome moment! We also heard from a woman who accidentally used haemorrhoid cream as toothpaste (good lord), and we learnt about which type of person is the most boring, according to science. (Let's hope it's not any of you!) Enjoy the poddy!
And that, my dear friends, gives you an in insight into a man who doesn't get enough sleep! Speaking of sleep, we spoke about how The Rock only sleeps 4 hours a night, and turns out a bunch of our listeners also sleep TOO LITTLE!! THIS IS BAD! Finally, Ben's daughter Indie brought up a very good point about the way that we all say RAT tests. Betcha never thought about it! Enjoy.

Jono is also having an MRI scan for the first time today and Ben wanted to settle any concerns he had by getting some MRI scan stories on the air. Whether or not these were settling calls...! Finally, we had a good ol' debate on what chocolate sucks and what chocolate rocks! Enjoy the poddy.
He spoke to us about his ideas to reduce the cost of living, because let's be honest, it is OUTRAGEOUS! Jono got pulled over by the cops this morning while he was driving to work shirtless (don't ask), and finally, we caught up with Holly Jean Brooker from the Parenting Place who explained how families isolating at home can survive it with young children! Enjoy!
We challenged Jono to call up one of the interns at our company and try incorporate a bunch of the lingo their generation uses into the conversation. "That's Gucci" "snatched" "bounce" and many more. And he absolutely butchered it, as you can imagine. We also found out what Jono's 4 year old nephew thinks of our show, and finally we caught up with Sandra Oh who you may know from Grey's Anatomy!
After speaking to someone about this yesterday, we thought there must be more people out there whose dreams become real, almost like they've had a premonition. And there are more of you! Ben also tried to explain the concept of "fast fashion" to his daughters, but the conversation didn't end up how he wanted it to. Finally, we discussed the things that feel like a cult, but aren't. We're looking at you NFT buyers & Wordle players....!
And not terrible where he accidentally crashes all the time, he's terrible where he DGAF about how he drives (if you don't know that abbreviation, have a goog). We're sure that if he focused, he would be a great driver. It's his over-confidence that lets him down! So yesterday Ben sent him down to the garage and set him some simple driving tasks. How did he go? Have a listen to find out. It's also International Women's Day today and we wanted to highlight how incredible some of the women in our lives are, and we also heard from you about some of the women in your lives' who are absolute powerhouses, too. Enjoy the show!
Another #BoomerRumour is spreading, this time about Hilary Barry and Jeremy Wells. Do they dislike each other in real life? We caught up with Denise our boomer friend who shared with us what she's heard. We also found what we thought was John Key's mobile number and wanted to see if he would answer. HE DID. WHY WOULD JOHN KEY ANSWER A BLOCKED PHONE CALL!? Finally, we're going to try see if Jono is NZ's worst driver, but we caught up with Janine who is classified as the UK's worst driver. Is she much worse than Jono? You be the judge... Enjoy the poddy!
With Kiwis being able to come back to NZ without isolating, we realised there are probably a bunch of people whose passports have expired. And the cost to renew one is $191. ANNOYING. So we decided to renew a bunch of people's passports so they can go and see loved ones overseas without having to isolate when they get home. Jono also revealed a part of himself that surprises most people, and finally we caught up with Mitch James who told us about his near-death experience. Enjoy the show!
Ben took some "pranking inspiration" from Jono and tried it on his wife when she was on the phone to the bank. But he learnt quickly that when pranking, it should not involve the bank! We also spoke to a woman who has climbed Mt Everest 6 TIMES! Finally, Ben has discovered the world's cutest animal that you all MUST GOOGLE. Enjoy!
We have been SURROUNDED by scary, sad and angering news recently. We caught up with Dave Atkinson, CEO of the Parenting Hub, who explained how we can explain to our inquisitive children what is going on in NZ & the world right now.
We spoke to Nick James, a reporter for the NZ Herald who has been down there watching it all unfold. He said it's been the most chaotic thing he's witnessed and has never seen anything like it before.
Dame Val has announced her retirement and we managed to find her mobile number. No interview was planned, and Jono thought it would be a good idea to call her out of the blue. AND SHE PICKED UP! From a blocked number even! And it was awkward as hell! We also played Liar Liar where we speak to two people but only one is telling a truthful story. Jemma allegedly found a suitcase with $50K in it, and Taylor claims that her dad is the most watched TV star in history. Who is lying and who is telling the truth? Enjoy the show!
Ben wanted to teach his kids a card game, but he forgot the rules of every game apart from blackjack - so blackjack it was! We also spoke to Diana who shared an outrageous story about something that happened to her on a flight. Finally, Jono made a very good observation about something that all parents over the age of 60 do. Enjoy the poddy!
What is it like to be in Ukraine right now? Tom Mutch is a reporter who is over there at the moment and he spoke to us about the situation and what he has experienced so far. A very interesting chat and one worth listening to.
Denise came back with another boomer rumour, that The Queen has passed away after she caught Covid, but Buckingham Palace are covering it up for the moment. Does this have any merit to it? We then caught up with our UK correspondent Gavin Grey to see if he thinks this rumour is true. Ben found out something scandalous that Jono did in the work garage, and finally we completed our 28 days of Good Deeds!
In 2018 Jono accidentally gave a bunch of people food poisoning, and he's never cooked chicken again since. But recently he was given the opportunity to redeem himself! We also spoke more of the unusual jobs you wouldn't have heard of, and one of our callers did a job relating to with panty-hose... Finally, we continued on with our good deeds and sent Jono out to shout someone petrol. And it was a bit of a shambles! Enjoy the podcast.
We spoke to listener Blair who was figuring out if a speargun he was holding was faulty or not. Turns out it wasn't... And he accidentally shot himself in the hand. OWWWWWW. Ben also found something out about Jono that he never knew after all these years, and it's hilarious. Finally, we wanted to know about the odd job you have had, or the job that we'd never really think about. We spoke to a letter folder, a pasty crimper and a lube maker! Enjoy the show.
Was it successful? You be the judge. We also wanted to know if any of our listeners have ever walked out of a job. We spoke to listener Jen who had, and she said it was the best thing she'd ever done. Finally, our game Liar Liar made a comeback! We spoke to a woman claiming she had the world record for the longest hair, and another woman claiming she was Brad Pitt's dog groomer. Who was telling the truth and who was lying? Have a listen to find out! Enjoy the show!
Can you imagine it? Jono took his son and his friends to the movies and sat a few rows back, just peering at them and making sure they were behaving! Yes, we can imagine it. We also spoke about a friend who accidentally left a voicemail on their bosses phone after they didn't pick up. But what happens when you accidentally b***h about your boss without realising YOU'RE LEAVING A VOICEMAIL!! Nothing worse! Finally, we spoke about embarrassing injuries after our producer Bhumps tore a ligament while talking on the phone. Enjoy the show!
We spoke to Denise who gave us some tea on Clarke and Jacinda. Was it a far fetched Boomer Rumour? Maybe. But it's our new segment, and we even got political reporter Barry Soper on to fact check! We also caught up with Winter Olympic gold medalist Nico Porteous after his epic win in the Freeski Halfpipe over the weekend. Finally, we spoke about the things you've done a 180 on. With Ben, it's magpies, with Jono, it's Tiktok. Enjoy the show!
We introduced a new game called "Close Contacts", where Ben took Jono's phone, called a Kiwi celeb, and Jono had to awkwardly chat with them until he could guess who he was speaking to. But the repercussions of this game caused Jono's phone to blow up! We also heard an outrageous story from Alicia about the circumstances in which she gave birth, and Ben's been caught out by his daughter for faking something. It's a goodie today! Enjoy the show.
But an NZ version... What the Tinder Swindler did to many woman overseas, basically happened to one of our listeners. But all in NZ! And if you don't know who the Tinder Swindler is, it's the hottest documentary on Netflix at the moment and worth a watch. Jono has realised he is getting old, and Ben has learnt how to finally calm his dog Beau down. Enjoy!
We talked about beauty disasters and Allison phoned up with a hilarious story from when she went to get a full body massage. After Zoi Sadowski-Synnott's silver medal win yesterday, we spoke to her now-famous dad, Sean Synnott to see if he swore again live on the news. Hint, he did! Finally, we discussed the threats you give as a parent and whether you actually followed through with any of them! Enjoy the show!
This isn't the first time it's happened either. And it's hilarious. We also caught up with the director of new TV series Pam and Tommy, which explores Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee's explicit tape that was leaked. We also learnt which one out of Jono and Ben is an avid scanner and one that hasn't scanned in anywhere since January. You can probably guess! Enjoy the show!

We also learnt which one out of Jono and Ben is an avid scanner and one that hasn't scanned in anywhere since January. You can probably guess! Enjoy the show!
If you remember Keith and Sally from Kerikeri, you know you're in for a treat. If you don't know them, your earholes will be blessed when you hear us talk to them! They are the cutest and most hilarious couple, so today we asked them how they actually met and how they've kept their marriage alive! We also read out poems to our wives, but there was a catch. Ben had to write the poem Jono would read to his wife, and vice versa. Enjoy the poddy!
National Party Leader Chris Luxon came in today and we tried to ensure Ben didn't get him mixed up with Jono! Jono also told a story about someone he knew who had a VERY MAJOR sewerage issue. Finally, Jono used to go around and tell everyone his dad was a spy, when really, he was part of the air force. Enjoy the poddy!
Ben's daughter Indie reckons the pizza she buys from the tuck shop is the best pizza she's ever eaten. Even compared to a gourmet one! We also spoke about the most amount of money you've made off Trade Me off an item that would surprise us. Finally, we gave away our first $5000 of the year with 5W5K! Lucky Ryan from Marlborough matched all 5 words with Ben. Enjoy the show!
Producer Juliet explained to us what the definition of "the ick" is, and we wanted to see if we gave our wives the ick in any way. Ben described his VERY ENJOYABLE shopping after a few beers, and we think we've been culled from our friend's baby shower/engagement party after we already got the invite. Enjoy!
And what were her thoughts on her dad swearing like a sailor on the 6pm news? We also discussed who we reckon the most famous person in the world is. Jono reckons The Queen, Ben reckons The Rock (of course)! Finally, Ben did something extraordinarily embarrassing while out and about, to someone he thought was his friend. Enjoy the show!
Today we were out at a Resene store doing our Resene Can Can Challenge. We stacked a bunch of Resene paint cans on top of each other, with each can representing $250, and gave away the total amount of money before the paint cans toppled over. Lucky Emily ended up winning $6,250! What a wonderful moment! Ben also reckons he's been outsmarted by his kid, and Jono reckons he knows a subtle way to make everyone in your office listen to you. Enjoy the show!
Kia ora! On today's show, Jono is wondering if the anti-aging cream he's been gifted is 1. insulting, and 2. something that even works!? Ben also tried to teach his youngest daughter about old rock music in the middle of a t-shirt shop. We caught up with Hilary Barry and talked about the rude symbol her son mowed onto her lawns, and we also spoke to Holly Jean Brooker from the Parenting Place, on what to do if you're anxious about sending your kids back to school. Enjoy!
You've probably heard about them everywhere, but what even is an NFT? We caught up with Brooke Howard Smith who sells NFTs, and he explained to us what they are. It's pretty bizarre! We've also learnt that Jono is an over-thanker, and Ben is blaming Jono for the fact he can't get his car in the garage. Enjoy the poddy!
We spoke about accidental online purchases and listener Steve accidentally ordered 1,500 chickens when he was meant to order just ONE. Hilarious story! Jono also showed us something that blew our minds. Let's just say that it wasn't just The Simpsons and Bill Gates who predicted Covid... Finally, Wordle is all the craze at the moment. But what is it? Is it worth playing? Our Drive show, Brad and Laura, even got Charlie Puth hooked on it! And now we think Ben is hooked. Enjoy the podcast.
A man from Waiheke had to steal back his dinghy multiple times from a very confident thief who kept going back for it. It's a brilliant story! Jono also gave an ode to Auckland on Auckland's anniversary. Finally, Ben and his family have turned into the people you probably hate on the roads! Enjoy the poddy.
You may have seen this all over the news over the last few days - Charlotte Bellis is pregnant in & stuck in Afghanistan and can't get back to NZ to give birth, because she can't get an MIQ spot. We spoke to her about this and how she even had to approach the Taliban to figure out her options, if she couldn't get home.
We reckon we have been scammed via WhatsApp, so we decided to call back our scammers. Risky business, we were playing with fire! We also found out that Jono got involved in an Anti Vaxxer protest... But it may not be how you think. Finally, we spoke to someone in Hawkes Bay who knows every single place Benedict Cumberbatch visited when he was in NZ during lockdown in 2020. He knew just as much as the contact tracer app does! Enjoy the podcast.
Nothing worse than when you can't fit all your rubbish into the bins before you put them out. Most of us sneakily try and put the excess in our neighbours' bin, but Jono has a hack if you're scared about being caught by your neighbour! GEEENIUSSSS! We delved into the tiny things that really test a relationship, and also discussed what feels illegal, but is only just a little bit naughty. Finally, financial expert Hannah McQueen explained to us why this year you should be pitching for more money (hint: inflation) and she explained in a way so us dummies could understand. Wooo! Enjoy!
As well as this, we delved into what else is making Ben nervous at the moment, Jono's son can't seem to grasp the concept of personal space, and finally we caught up with epidemiologist Dr Michael Baker to talk more about these new mask mandates! GAH will this ever end! Enjoy the show.
If you thought you couldn't turn the topic of exercise into something inappropriate, think again. Jono has been doing Youtube workouts for the last wee while, and got Ben to play a little game with him on these exercises. We also spoke to Emma Timmis who ran the length of NZ in 21 days over summer, from Cape Reinga to Bluff and made a new world record! Finally, Jono has been accused of doing something by the tradie next door. Again, something not appropriate! Enjoy the show.
Happy New Year and all that jazz! We're stoked to be back with you this year and hope everyone had a safe and happy break (if you did manage to get a break in!) On today's show we spoke to a woman who listed her husband on TradeMe for sale, Jono shared a story about how he got attacked by something over the holidays, and we're starting to compile a list of 22 predictions for 2022. Will we have another lockdown? Will Pete Davidson date another celebrity? Will Harry & Meghan make amends with the royals? If you have any predictions, let us know on Instagram! Enjoy the first poddy for 2022!
But little did Ben know, we had him teed up the whole time... So yes, we unnecessarily put him through 24hrs of listening to one Michael Buble song for no reason! Claaaaaaassic stitch up. We also had the PM Jacinda Ardern in, and surprised her with some very special guests. Today is our final show of the year so unfortunately you won't hear us over the summer, but we'll be back in your earholes January 24th! LOVE Y'ALL!!!
Ben is listening to a Michael Bublé Christmas song on repeat until the Bube zooms us! That began at 8am this morning. But beforehand we discussed who is having the busiest Christmas, more inappropriate Christmas gifts people have been given, and we also presented for the first time, our 2021 WRAPPED UP RAP! Enjoy!
One of our listeners did... after she was gifted them from her partner. Who even knew those existed! We also caught up with THE HIPPO (Chris Hipkins), one of our fave people & the front runner for NZ's quote of the year. Finally, you know that noise you hear when your child winds down the window slightly in the back seat of the car? VERY ANNOYING NOISE! Jono did more research into why this happens. Enjoy!
Who saw this coming!? Not us! The Hippo's infamous "spread your legs" quote is up alongside a quote we made about Judith Collins... We also found out that some of our listeners have been listening to Christmas music since OCTOBER (good on ya). Finally, we debated whether Ben should let his 12-year-old Sienna get Tiktok, but decided this JUDGE JUDY/JONO style. Enjoy!
If you've got sharp ears, you may have noticed Ben mention a few times how much he'd love to interview Michael Bublé. The Drive show interviewed him, and he did the rounds across some other radio stations. So Jono has hatched up a plan for Ben to listen to the same Michael Bublé Christmas song on repeat, until Bublé Zooms us. We'll publish a link and hopefully make enough noise on social media so that he notices! Wish us luck, we could be here til 2025. We also spoke to a guy who is having over 60 people over for Christmas. SIXTY. Finally, Ben has a bone to pick with beetroot. Apparently it has no place in a burger! Enjoy the poddy.
ON HIS HEAD! No joke! And it was Ben's daughter who noticed!!! Petition for him to grow his hair out?! We think yes. We also caught up with actor, comedian and children's author David Walliams who has a new book out. Finally, we noticed Mike Hosking in a VERY different environment at work yesterday and it was so amusing to watch. Enjoy the poddy!
Ben is one of the most on-to it people we know. He loves to-do lists, labels and calendars. And we wanted to see if there's anyone more organised than him! Yesterday we also spent the day on the roof of Eden Park, shooting basketballs into a hoop on the field below. And we managed to get a shot in each! Which meant that this morning, we were able to give away an all-access pass to Eden Park in 2022 as well as $1000! Finally, Ben admitted there's something he hasn't done in over 1000 days. Enjoy!
Today we learnt about how Jono got away with free parking at the airport for YEARS. Cheeky! We also learnt what the top things New Zealander's Googled this year. Finally, we had Wow Wednesday return and spoke to a lady who birthed and resuscitated a baby at home! Enjoy the show.
Nothing worse than when you've been calling someone by the wrong name, and they're too polite to say anything, but you then find out later that you have it wrong. Ben found himself in this exact situation. Awkies! We also talked about what your greatest achievement is. Tomorrow, if we manage to land 2 basketballs into a hoop from the roof of Eden Park, we reckon it could be our greatest achievement. But we asked you for yours, and some were outrageous! Finally, we caught up with the ever-lovely Nadia Lim who has a new children's book out, based on a chicken on her farm. Adorable! Enjoy the poddy.
It's not something that many people would be able to pull off. But we spoke to Emma Timmis, a Kiwi who is doing just that. But she's doing the length of the country over 21 days! Which equals to be about 100km per day. Unreal. Ben's daughter posed a very interesting question which we spoke about this morning: If you knew about Covid one month before it hit in 2020, what would you tell yourself, or what would you do? Finally, we spoke to Kimberley from The Channelling - she's a psychic. We got her to predict whether we will land two shots down into a basketball hoop, aiming from Eden Park's roof. We're attempting this on Wednesday, and if we land 2 balls in the hoop, we have an epic prize to give away. An all-access pass to all of Eden Park's events in 2022, plus $1,000!
We've got a special BONUS Episode of The Humble Yum Yum for you from our friend Ganesh Raj!

Quotes give us wonderful nuggets of wisdom throughout our life. But I bet you haven't thought about the fact that there are quotes that cancel other quotes out. You'll get what we mean soon... We also learnt today that Ben's nervousness has reached new heights, and we also caught up with Jeff Kinney, author of the very successful "Diary Of A Wimpy Kid" books!
Remixes are the THANG at the moment so we remixed this Kiwi classic. And we got a large variety of feedback.... Have a listen and see what you think! In today's show we also caught up with new National party leader Christopher Luxon, a self-professed lover of country music. We tested his country music knowledge & chatted about how he's going in the new role. Finally, Ben's dog got a little too close for comfort and bit something that you don't want to be bitten.
The man who directed some of the biggest movies in history - E.T, Jaws, Jurassic Park, Back To The Future, and so many more, we had the ABSOLUTE HONOUR of interviewing him and the cast of his latest film, West Side Story. Not only did we speak with Steven Spielberg, we also caught up with our Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. A project we're working on at the moment is remixing an old Kiwi classic song. There are popular remixes of Fleetwood Mac's Dreams, Cold Heart is a remix from Elton John and Dua Lipa, so it's all the rage at the moment. We've narrowed down our top 3, and got our blessing from one of the artists to make it in full. Finally, we had an epic call for Wow Wednesday today - a man who is in a polyamorous relationship (a 3 way relationship)! Interesting stuff. A good poddy for you today, enjoy & thanks for listening!
And it's all thanks to Ben's daughter and a new book she has. We also caught up with Kiwi singer Benee ahead of her NZ & world tour! Finally, what is the meaning behind the saying "the cat's out of the bag!"? We dive deep! Enjoy.
There's a video from 2015 where Bill Gates gave a TED Talk on how the world is not prepared for a pandemic or a highly contagious virus... and it's so eerie to watch now! We also discussed the Christmas jobs that are so admin & unenjoyable, and finally, we caught up with Dr Joel Rindelaub who spoke to us a bit more about this new Omicron covid variant and whether we should be worried. Eeeek! Enjoy the podcast.
Taylor Swift's 10-minute version of All Too Well is officially the longest song to reach #1 in the charts. Today on the show we challenged ourselves to play it, leave the studio, buy coffees and see if we could make it back in time. Did we? Was it a shambles? We also spoke about a TikTok couple's crazy rules they have in their relationship... And we spoke to relationship expert Bridgette Jackson from Equal Exes to see if these sorts of rules in a relationship are totally necessary. All that and a bunch more on today's poddy, including our new parody song dedicated to Judith Collins. Enjoy!
To celebrate 100 days in lockdown, we gave a bunch of people $100 on air! While a lot of us have been "stuck" in lockdown, we wanted to know where else you have been "stuck"... One woman called up saying when she was younger, she licked the ice in the deep freeze and got stuck to it, with no help around. And that was just ONE story we got! We also discussed one of life's most mundane tasks and why it seriously sucks, and Jono got into an internet wormhole about Adele. Enjoy the podcast!
We continued on yesterday's chat about the most amount of money you've cost your workplace, and we had Russell come through with a craaaazy story about how his friend BURNT HIS BOSSES WORKSHOP while he was an apprentice! Good lord. And if that wasn't enough of a WOW FACTOR, we also had our segment Wow Wednesday make a comeback. We had a lovely lady call with a heart-breaking story that just seemed to get worse! Finally, tomorrow is 100 days since we first went into lockdown so tomorrow, we're celebrating with EVERY CALLER WINS $100. Get your phones ready to dial 0800 THE HITS tomorrow between 6am-9am! Enjoy the poddy!
We had the lovely & hilarious James Blunt on the show for an interview and straight off the bat we offended him with some false information about him! But all was ok in the end. He's a very funny dude & the chat was a lot of fun! We also spoke about the Aussie TV reporter who essentially cost his network $1 million, when he went to interview Adele in London, told her he hadn't listened to her new album yet, to which the record label said he couldn't use the interview anymore. Awkies. Flights to London and no playing back of the interview allowed... So, we threw it out there and asked you guys how much money you've cost your company and we had some ripper calls come through! You'd never want to be these people! Enjoy the podcast!
You'd think as a married couple, you'd be friends on Facebook? Think again! But Ben has a reason... Or so he reckons! We also spoke about awkward encounters you've had with a stranger, after Jono's friend really put his foot in it with someone at a dance recital. Finally, we've dug up some old audio of Jono claiming something, but now he just looks like a big ol' hypocrite when we play it now! Enjoy.
Jim Belushi who you may know from Saturday Night Live, was part of our segment Liar Liar. He now runs a cannabis farm! What a career pivot! We also played "Connect 4". where we tried to see if we could connect 4 people to Adele. And we spoke to a couple of people who have been associated with her! #Goals. Enjoy the show.
We spoke to a young belieber earlier this week and we wanted to find another belieber, but someone who was above the general age demographic of your traditional JB fan. And I think we found them! Jono also played some very disturbing audio this morning of a couple working out. But without the visuals of them working out, it sounded like a veeeery different activity. We also caught up with Dr Dougal Sutherland who is a psychologist, and he gave some really good tips on how to get through this Christmas if the vaccine debate is causing tension within the family. All that and more on today's podcast!
Please don't read that as "anti vaxxer" because Ben is actually anti vacuum cleaners at the moment. An anti vac-cer. Something precious broke while he was vacuuming and we wanted to know who else was an anti vac-cer, or who else has had problems with their vacuum cleaner! Also, yes, Ben did lie to children on a Zoom call and he got caught out for it! Oooooopsie. Finally, we spoke to a guy who has met Adele, in fact, Adele came into his shop!
And he was betrayed by one of the things he loves most! However, this sparked some calls from listeners who had some outrageous stories similar to Ben. We also caught up with Archie Yates (who stars in Jojo Rabbit) and Irish comedian Aisling Bea. They both star in the new Home Alone movie, called Home Sweet Home Alone. Finally, Ben has a very specific arrangement with Jono when it comes to birthday presents, but he nearly messed it up. Enjoy the podcast!
Ben's dog is getting more photo opportunities and more TV airtime than he is! So we threw it out there and we got some good responses, including the viral "It's a f***ing goat!" lady! We also caught up with the creator and director of The Simpsons, Al Jean. Finally, Ben has one rule in life that he lives by and decided to share it publicly with you all! Enjoy the show.
Ben tested Sienna's commitment to her business in a brutal way, have a listen! We also spoke with someone who'd accidentally been called a completely different name by their boss for SEVEN YEARS, and they never corrected them! Finally, there were a couple of special moments on today's show, Kate from Christchurch won 5 Words for $5K, and we had a very deserving winner for our giveaway with themarket.com - whose house had burnt down in a fire. Super amazing & what a way to end the week! Enjoy the podcast.
We're on a mission to expand Producer Juliet's movie knowledge. She hasn't seen a lot of the classics and she's now compiling a list that she needs to get through. So we discussed the movies she needs to add to her list, and we even consulted with movie buff & friend Doug who has seen over 6,000 movies in his life! We also caught up with Lindy who accidentally found herself in the middle of our 5 Words for $5K competition the other day. She accidentally dialled us when she was trying to win Six60 tickets on another station. We tried to do a make-good with her but it ended up being a shambles all over again! In this podcast too you'll find our interview with Thomas Markle Jr, Meghan's half-brother. However, we've got a mini podcast episode with that on it so you can check it out there too! Enjoy.
He's Meghan Markle's big brother, and ironically is also on the TV show Big Brother VIP. We spoke to him about the public letter he wrote to Meghan before her wedding and what he regrets about it now. It was an awesome chat and he seems like a good guy!
You may have seen headlines all over the place about "Doug The Spud" potentially being the world's biggest potato, grown by Colin and Donna in Hamilton. We spoke to Colin and he is an aaaaaabsolute character and is clearly very proud of his spud. Ben also reckons he has the cleanest socks in the world and his reason why is quite valid. Finally, there are so many sayings that we spout off, but how did these sayings actually begin? Introducing our new segment "What Do You Mean?", we deep dive into sayings and how they came to be... Enjoy the show!
We spoke to a guy who currently owns 56 of them. Why? Have a listen. We also played our game Liar Liar and ended up chatting to someone who has walked the length of the south island! Finally, Ben's dog goes to Doggy Day Care and gets an annual report card. Ben and his dog are far more alike than we realised! Enjoy the show.
Technology can be great but it can also be painful. Ben sent an email to someone but predictive text changed his words... And it got him into a predicament. We also spoke to a woman who nursed a baby seal in her backyard back to health, and so we opened up the phones to hear your stories of animal rescue! One story ended savagely... Finally, we caught up with the PM's partner Clarke Gayford and comedian Tom Sainsbury. Enjoy the show!
We had Ronnie Vannucci Jr join us today, the drummer from The Killers. The Killers have just announced an NZ show at the end of next year, so we had him on for a chat. We also brought our segment The Show Rubbish Bin back. It's where all our bad ideas go, but sometimes we give them a second chance. Ben had an idea where he tried to get his "Bond" back.... his James Bond. Finally, we spoke to a listener who has already got all her Christmas decorations up, and she played us her farting Santa toy. Just lovely. Enjoy the show!
And she is quite literally the cutest lady on this planet. 103 and sharp as a tack! Jono was confident that we'd find someone listening older than the Queen who is 95. And BOOM WE GOT ONE! Our chat with Lizzie will warm the cockles of your heart! We also caught up with the winner of Celebrity Treasure Island, Chris Parker, who won after he was initially coming dead last. MIRACULOUS. Finally, Producer Juliet has a theory about hairdressers, so we did some research to see if this was true. Enjoy!
We spoke to her about the current restrictions, when she thinks all kids will go back to school, and what will happen if by November 29th, we aren't at 90% fully vaccinated. On another note, Ben isn't happy with one of the contestants on Celebrity Treasure Island, and the reason why involves his wife! Finally, are our phones really listening to us, and then feeding us ads based on what we're saying? We spoke to Martin Cocker from Netsafe to see whether this is the case!
Ben thought he was being pranked by Jono yesterday when a baby goose turned up on his doorstep. He was very confused at how it even got there, because their gate was closed and they don't live near any water. So, where the heck did this goose come from and how did it get into Ben's property? After we discussed this, we opened it up to see whether any of our listeners have played animal rescue, and we ended up speaking to Matt Owens who adopted a magpie (https://www.instagram.com/swoopandmowgli/) and it literally became his pet. It was best friends with the cat, it would come and land on Matt's shoulder whenever he called it, and he ended up going viral for it. Have a stalk of his Instagram, it's the cutest content you'll see all day. Finally, Ben has got concerns that his dog may embarrass him on a certain TV show. In hindsight this show sounds very animal focused. We promise there's other stuff in there too! Enjoy.
Don't tell The Masked Singer, because we did our own version. But with face masks... We had a famous singer with a face mask on the phone and we had to guess who they were through their muffled voice! Jono also tried to channel the youth with his own take on one of the new vaccination ads... Interesting. Finally, we did Monday Memorabilia Madness and chatted some more about the bizarre memorabilia you own. Enjoy the show!
After last night's Halloween Movie Marathon, we ended up with exactly $5,000 to give away! It was intense calling out someone's name but Ange who won was incredibly deserving and got us all so emotional! In today's show we also discussed how the Covid lady has been replaced, and Ben's wife has bought EVEN MORE of something that Ben reckons they already have plenty of. Enjoy the podcast!
Ed Sheeran has a new album out called Equals and we caught up with him. This was right before he announced he had Covid, the poor guy! We interviewed him on Jono's anniversary night, so Jen wasn't too happy he had to miss their special dinner... But we reckon we made it up to her! We also surprised a Kiwi fan with a call from Ed, but in this call, Ed had to apologise for something. This was an awesome chat with him and was actually really insightful!
We continued to get more scary stories from listeners and my golly gosh the call we got from Tania gave us goosebumps. Creeeeeeepy stuff. We also heard Jono belt out his best version of Adele's new song Easy On Me (hint, it's horrendous). Finally, we caught up with a woman who very recently gave birth in a New World carpark. Surely that baby gets free groceries for the rest of its life! Enjoy the show.
In the lead up to tomorrow, we're hearing more and more creepy stories. We caught up with James Gilberd who's from the New Zealand Strange Occurrences Society, who investigates paranormal activity in NZ. On the back of this, we spoke to Bianca whose family had a terrifying experience with something supernatural. On a different note & to lighten the mood, Jono had a very funny observation about the TV show Love Island that his wife watches. Enjoy the poddy!
Ahead of Ben's Scary Movie Marathon (to win you up to $10,000), we spoke to Roger L Jackson, the man behind the famous voice of Ghost Face. "Do you like scary movies?" THAT GUY. He announced the 5 scary movies that Ben will watch on Thursday, and man he creeped us out during the interview with that damn voice! We also spoke about how Adele has a framed piece of Celine Dion's gum in her house, so we opened up the "weird celebrity memorabilia line", and ended up speaking to a man who has John Lennon's tooth! Enjoy the show.
The preparations continue. More scary stories, more movie suggestions, and even a novelty quiz by Jono. All in preparation for Thursday where Ben has to watch 5 scary movies in a row. On today's show we also got pranked by Michael J Fox... And Ben's been caught doing something his wife seriously doesn't approve of. Enjoy the poddy!
There's a little girl in NZ named Paige, who was born via surrogacy. However, her biological mother passed away before she was born. Because of this, her mother cannot be named on her birth certificate, by law. But it's a ridiculous law that needs to be changed. Paddy Gower is fighting alongside this family for Paige's right to have her mother listed as her mother. We caught up with Paddy about this.
Kia ora e te whānau! To build Ben's resilience with scary movies, we got you guys to share with us your ghost stories, or the creepy stories that will freak Ben out. Juuuuust to prepare him a bit more for when he watches 5 scary movies in attempt to win someone $10,000. We had a creeeepy story from Lizzie! Jono also told a story of something that happened to him when he was out on an early morning run this morning. His main concern of the story was NOT Ben & producer Juliet's main concern though. What he revealed was VERY SURPRISING! Finally, in our segment Liar Liar we spoke to a man who lives like he's in the 90s!
Today on the show we caught up with the leader of the ACT Party, David Seymour. He even managed to sneak in a few digs about Jono's (lack of) hair. We also narrowed down some of the scariest movies that we can get Ben to watch next week, in order to give away up to $10,000. If you haven't heard just yet, Ben hates scary movies. So just before Halloween, we're forcing him to sit down and watch a bunch, and every fright he gets, we take money off the $10,000 tally. Whatever is left will be given away on air the next day! If you have any other suggestions for scary movies, let us know on Instagram @thehitsbreakfast. Finally, Ben and his family have been doing something at home - to do with Squid Game... (It's not as creepy as it sounds, promise). Enjoy the pod!
As that saying goes, shoot for the moon and if you miss, you'll land among the stars... So that's exactly what we did with Adele. But this impersonator is quite the woman! And if you listen closely, you'll hear Jono completely forget her name at the start haha. Adele has also continued to name her albums the age she was when she wrote them. One of them being called 21. So we thought, what would you tell your 21-year-old self? And with a bunch of wizardry and witchcraft, we spoke to our 21-year-old selves and gave them some sound advice. Enjoy the podcast!
Kia ora! Over the weekend was the Super Saturday Vaxathon and there were some golden moments, like Ashley Bloomfield dancing, Jacinda making Clarke do some DJing, and Paddy Gower saying "LESHGO". And since the South Island has no Covid, there's been a petition to let them be their own nation. So, if they did become their own nation, which famous South Islander would make a great Prime Minister? Jono's also realised that his daughter's texts to her friend on his phone look a bit dodgy from the surface without context. Finally, we caught up with comedian Hayley Sproull who hosts The Great Kiwi Bake Off with Madeleine Sami, always lovely chatting to her! Enjoy the poddy.
In one of our frequent segments, Liar Liar, where one person is on the phone telling a true story, and another is on telling a false story, we ended up speaking to Britt who is on a new TV show called Naked & Afraid Of Love. She basically went bush, fully naked, with a bunch of strangers, trying to survive but also trying to build a relationship. We nearly witnessed Producer Juliet swear on national radio for the first time, and we also caught up with former Shortland Street actress Angela Bloomfield (Rachel McKenna), who was recently eliminated from Celebrity Treasure Island. Enjoy the show!
Those particular words you may recognise from Dreams by Fleetwood Mac, or the remix by Jolyon Petch. Because we take things literally, we wanted to figure out if thunder only does happen when it's raining. We reckon we know the answer though. So we called a professional meteorologist to see if this was the case! On another note, Jono is a HERO who is giving out $20,000. KIDDING. Someone is pretending to be Jono on Facebook, doing just that! Finally, what would Jono do if he was the Prime Minister? Chaos would ensue. Enjoy the poddy!
The Jono & Ben version, with no fatalities obviously... We called a Fish & Chip shop and had to guess the price of an individual squid ring. Did we nail it? Did we survive to the next round? Who knows! We also caught up with the president of the Teacher's Union, Liam Rutherford, to chat about the new mandate where teachers will need to be vaccinated from next year, to help protect their young students who can't get the vaccine yet. Finally, Ben's new mullet has received some mixed reviews, so we read some of these out.. Eek!
This is not a drill!! Ben hasn't had a haircut since before lockdown, so his daughters took the opportunity to give him a haircut. And he actually committed to the mullet and came to work with it! It's more like a mini mullet. Not as long as your usual one, but it'll get there! We also had some tickets to Billie Eilish to give away, and we had some high drama on the show where someone had the opportunity to steal the tickets off a 13-year-old girl. It was ruthless. Finally, we were joined by comedian Chris Parker (also on Celebrity Treasure Island) and body positivity Instagrammer, Jess Quinn, who has a new book out.
Lockdown in Auckland has reached new levels in the Boyce household. Ben's daughters went to the lengths of creating an at-home roller skating restaurant. Were there injuries? Have a listen to find out!
Kia ora! Today we spoke to Lee Morrison who was a stunt double for James Bond as part of our segment Liar Liar. He started out being a stunt double for Angelina Jolie in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, and over the years has slowly progressed. He worked closely with Daniel Craig in No Time To Die on various stunts, and it was so interesting to chat to him! Jono has also been annoying his family in lockdown by doing one very specific thing, and it riles them up! So we opened up the phones and wanted to hear about the things that unreasonably annoy you. Finally, we caught up with a guy who is designing woollen jeans! If you know the shoe brand All Birds who make shoes from wool, he's essentially wanting to do the same thing but with jeans, to make them more comfortable. Enjoy the poddy!
Kiwi dancer Lance Savali is on the current season of Celebrity Treasure island, and he has danced with the likes of Rihanna, JLo, Beyonce, and many other A listers! It was great as always to catch up with him.
After the "road map" out of Covid was announced, we caught up with the Prime Minister and discussed all the new rules around picnic-ing, bathroom-ing, and socially distancing. And why aren't the rest of the country in Level 1 yet?
And Ben wants to be Justin Bieber! This spawned off a question Ben's daughter posed, which opened up a very interesting conversation about who you'd swap talents with if you had the opportunity. We were also joined by PM Jacinda Ardern to discuss all the new rules with having picnics! Finally, Jono is hoarding something in his household and we reckon he's not the only one. Even if you're not a hoarder. Enjoy the poddy!
What a whirlwind! We're still soaking up the info about Auckland's new rules in lockdown... We can have picnics, with only one other bubble, up to 10 people, but can we have 5 picnics in one day with different bubbles? WHAT ARE THE RULES! Ben the information man came to the rescue with all your questions about lockdown. Not only that, but social media has been down! Instagram, Facebook & Whatsapp. What will we DOOO! But on a positive note (yay) we caught up with Hits Wellington day host, Bel Crawford, who we like to now call our Spice Girls correspondent, to chat about the new Spice Girls documentary that aired on TVNZ last night. She had a sit-down conversation for 45 minutes with Sporty Spice last year, so she also shared some tales about that experience! Enjoy the poddy.
It's an old wives' tale, that if your mother's father is bald, you will go bald (if you're a man of course). Likewise, if your mother's father has a wonderful head of hair, you will too. Is this legit? We called Ben's mum to see if her dad had a good head of hair, and we also had a wonderful hair expert let us know whether this old wives' tale is actually true or not. On the show we were also joined by Vanessa Goodson, who won The Apprentice Aotearoa. But we spoke to her because her and her family contracted Covid and were transferred to a managed isolation facility. What is it like having to move your whole family into one of these facilities until you are better!? What are the things she experienced? We delved deep! Finally, Ben has tried to implement "Device Free Weekends" into his home. But he regrets it all! Enjoy the poddy!
PJ Harding moved back to NZ after living in Melbourne hosting one of the most popular breakfast shows. She's now living in the Wairarapa with her fiancé. What's she up to now, is she going to come back to radio? Jono also delved into some of Google's most outrageous reviews, the ultimate Karens! (Sorry to the Karens listening... you're probably not like this). Finally, we discussed at-home beauty treatments gone wrong, and how one woman's eyebrow got lasered off! Enjoy the poddy!
Has anyone had any major at-home beauty fails? We delved into this today, and Ben also reflected on a shocking fashion trend that he embraced back in the day... Also, there's a fashion trend at the moment that Jono compared to his grandmother. Eeeek! Enoy this mini podcast!
Today was a MUST WIN day for our signature game 5 Words for $5K. We wanted to give away the cash before the end of the month, but we didn't, so we just kept playing today. Ben was in the sound proof booth again, we played game after game until he matched all 5 words with Lisa from Whiritoa! We won't punish you with all the games in this podcast episode, but have included the winning game of course! 5 Words for $5K returns to normal at 7.45am tomorrow, and who knows, we could give it away again. Enjoy!
Emma Chaddock from Motueka recently woke up early one morning to her neighbour screaming that her house was on fire & that her daughter was inside. Emma did an incredible thing (that is usually not advised) and went into the inferno to save the daughter. If she was 20 seconds later, the outcome would've been completely different. This is an incredible story from an incredible woman!
Recently we've been speaking about the best things you've ever won, and we had a late contender on the show today! Melanie told us about how her and her workmates won $1 million from Lotto. What happened when she found out? What did she spend the money on? We delve deep! Jono tried to also fulfil a childhood dream of being sponsored by Nike. A big stretch, but we reckon it paid off. We caught up with Toni Street to talk about her new book Lost And Found, and we also spoke with a woman who saved a 6 y/o girl from a burning house. Incredible story. Enjoy the podcast whānau!
Kia ora! We've pledged that we're going to give away $5K before the end of the month... And that's Thursday. So in anticipation, we wanted to find out what the best thing you've ever won was. We even had a call from Peter who won $20K from The Hits back in the day! Jono also shared a tale about his experience at the petrol station yesterday. And how he did possibly the cheapest eftpos transaction in history! Finally, we caught up with David Seymour from the ACT party who, in the polls, has just overtaken Judith Collins as preferred Prime Minister. What does he reckon about this? We chat to him. Enjoy the podcast!
What was that experience like? How did it happen? Did she get hospitalised? We spoke with Maureen as part of a game we play called Liar Liar where one caller is telling the truth, and one is lying. Spoiler Maureen wasn't lying & really has been struck by lightning! Such an interesting story, have a listen!
Today on the show we talked Birthing Suite Banter... AKA, what was the weird thing that happened in your birthing suite? Was it as strange as someone giving birth in a Chewbacca mask? We had some people call up with some amazing stories! Finally, Jono has disappointed Ben's 9-year-old Indie YET AGAIN with his potty mouth! All that and more, enjoy!
Kia ora e te whānau! A lucky TV host from the Today show in America coincidentally sat next to Brad Pitt and Bradley Cooper at the US open, so we threw it out there to see if any of you guys had sat next to a celebrity. Whether it was on a plane, at an event, or anywhere else! And we had Dani Robinson on who has maaaany tales of sitting next to celebrities! As well as this, we talked about talented dogs and were joined by dog trainer Mark Vette, who has taught dogs to fly a plane and drive a car. Legit! Enjoy the show.
Jono's daughter very casually said something in passing, but it was something that made his ears prick up. What she said was so bizarre and is something Ben has said many times in the past! We also delved into what's making Ben nervous today. Finally, we played a game of "tell us where you're from without telling us where you're from", and Jono blimmen ruined the game within 30 seconds! Enjoy!
It seems that so many people in the Auckland region right now are frothing over takeaways being available, and the lines outside some stores are looooong. So we wanted to know what the longest time you've waited in a line for, whether that be a concert, a new shop, or anything of the likes! We had some brilliant calls! Ben also decided to whip out some old photos of a trip he and Amanda did to Europe, to show his kids. One of the photos was of the statue of David. If you know, you know. Finally, Jono is concerned with some of Oscar's potential life choices. Enjoy the show!
Ben had a 496th removed friend who disagrees with their partner on the vaccine... Yes, this is a bunch of goss that Ben heard through the grapevine. But what happens in a situation like that!? When a couple disagrees on something rather important... We discuss! Jono got lost in another internet wormhole about which countries in the world have the tallest people on average, and NEW ZEALAND MADE THE LIST BABY! We may be small, but we are TALL. All that and a lot more jibber jabber on today's podcast! Enjoy.
We got into this discussion after we found out someone famous used to follow producer Juliet on Twitter. And we ended up speaking to someone who was followed by Barack Obama! We also continued on the chat from last week about the best names for your pets, and the calls did not disappoint. If you like puns, you'll love these pet names. Finally, Jono revealed that he still doesn't know his dairy owner's name after many years, because it's now too late and too awkward to ask. So Ben went on a mission to find out, but stitched Jono up in the process. Enjoy the poddy!
Ben brought this one to the table. About how when you're in a bookstore, what else can you do to judge a book apart from looking at/reading its cover!? You're not going to read the book in the store to figure out whether you want to buy it or not... We also talked about the best names you have for your pet. And we had some calls come through that were VERY punny. Finally, episode 2 of our TV show "Jono & Ben: Good Sports" was on TVNZ 2 last night, and we got Ben to call TVNZ reception to see what the reviews were like. Enjoy the poddy!
We played Liar Liar, a game where we have 2 people on the show, and only one of them is telling the truth. Charlotte claimed she was there when Taika Waititi and Rita Ora met, and Don claims he's eaten over 30,000 Big Macs in his life. Who was telling the truth? DON WAS! How has he eaten so many Big Macs? Does he get sick of them? It's outrageous. Google Don Gorske, this is as legit as it gets!
We bet you've never heard a laugh quite like Amanda Boyce. Ben subtly recorded her laughing while watching Mr Bean, and he's been in negotiations all week with her as to whether he's allowed to play the audio on air... 4 days later and she agreed, and it's the best thing you'll hear. We also came up with another suggestion for the vaccination bus AND even made a jingle for it. Well, Jono did. Ben's not so keen. Finally, we played Liar Liar, where we had 2 people on the phone with outrageous stories and only one is telling the truth. Charlotte claimed she was there when Taika Waititi and Rita Ora met, and Don claims he's eaten over 30,000 Big Macs in his life. Who's telling the truth?
The harshest critic in the game spared us 5 minutes of his time to chat to us about our new TV show. We sent him a couple of episodes to watch, did he like it? Is it worth watching? Hear from the Hosk himself! We also spent a bit of time brainstorming a name for the new potential vaccination bus that'll go around giving people the jab. Australia have called theirs Jabba The Bus, but Jacinda reckons us Kiwis will be able to think of a better one, and we ALREADY HAVE! Finally, if your wedding invite list is full, can you start culling the plus ones, or the partners that you don't really know, in order to invite more friends!? Is this acceptable!?
We opened up the Parent Credit Line because Ben's daughter Sienna has a school project due, but he has done EVERYTHING. But will he ever get the credit when she gets her mark back!? We knew Ben wasn't the only one who's been in this situation, so we opened up the Parent Credit Line to see what outrageous school projects you've done for your kids. We also caught up with Mama Doctor Jones who is an influencer/doctor over in America, and she's taken a job in INVERCARGILL! Of all places! Anywhere in the world, and with her following, she chooses Invercargill!? We caught up with her to ask her why! Enjoy the poddy!
Our kids would have some very bizarre names if we named them after our wives' pregnancy cravings...! We also learnt today that Jono's son is a future entrepreneur. He thought of a GENIUS idea to do with vacuum cleaners! Over the weekend was also the 20th anniversary of 9/11. We spoke with a man, Elias Kanaris, who was on a plane at the same time as 9/11, and was directly affected while in the air. Super interesting. Enjoy the poddy whānau!
So turns out Ben is not the only man-child around the place, Jono met someone who ALSO has a velcro wallet like Ben. Are there any more people like this out there!? We also caught up with a woman called Michelle Kennedy, who was a board member for the dating app Bumble. But she started a new app called Peanut, described as "tinder for mums". It's for women who want to make friends and matches them based on location, interests and mutual friends. Super interesting and such a good app to know about! Finally, Ben needed a bit of a hand trying to figure out the etiquette for "liking" posts on Instagram! Enjoy the show!
Kia ora whānau! Today's show was a really fun one. We played WOW WEDNESDAY, and asked for any calls from anyone that could wow us. And we had someone who did not disappoint. She married her gay British best friend just to get permanent residency in the UK, and it actually worked. But there's a part to the story that is TOTALLY unexpected! We also caught up with Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern - does she have a personal stylist? Finally, Ben's daughter is doing a spelling bee, so Ben put Indie and Jono head to head on some difficult words. Enjoy the poddy!
We spoke to a couple of people today who had been in a coma, and asked them all sorts of questions about whether they could hear noises, whether they "saw the other side", and what they remembered overall. It was honestly very interesting and makes you really appreciate your own life! On quite a different note, Ben had another shituation with dog poo... What two completely different topics! You may remember that just before lockdown on a Monday morning, he realised mid-show that he had stepped in dog poo. Now he's gone and had a similar situation! And he's the cleanest guy we know! Enjoy the poddy friends, it's a goodie.
Called VAX STREETS BACK (EVERYBODY)! Thanks to the Backstreet Boys! We thoroughly enjoyed making this song, and keep your eyes peeled on our Instagram @thehitsbreakfast for the highly anticipated music video to go along with it... Yesterday was also Father's Day in NZ and Ben's daughters wrote some adorable messages about him in a card, some of which are strangely accurate... Finally, we spoke to a woman whose wedding had been cancelled FOUR TIMES thanks to Covid. Enjoy the show whānau!
With Father's Day this Sunday, we each made a call to our dads, told them we loved them, and then started a timer to see how long it would take for them to say it back... Because this particular generation of dad's don't generally dish out "I love you" a whoooole lot. We also played an old song we recorded with Kings and Ben's dad called "DAD JOKES", an absolute banger filled with some of your classic dad jokes. We had a bit of an intervention with Jono too, about his emails. Again. But this time, it's to do with his typos that are so blimmen hard to decipher. Enjoy the poddy!
Yes, you read that correctly. if you're in Level 4 right now and dreaming about being in Level 3, boy do we have something for you. Just you wait. It's worth it. We were also joined by TWO OF THE GREATS, the two lead stars of the critically acclaimed 1pm press conference! Ashley Bloomfield & Jacinda Ardern. We spoke to Ashley about what went through his mind when Chris Hipkins told the nation to spread their legs, and we spoke to Aunty Cindy about whether she actually is an aunty in real life, and she gave us a lovely little insight into her family! As well as this, we learnt that Ben's daughters listen to the radio FAR too much. They know ALL THE JINGLES, and Ben brought some evidence to the show. Enjoy the poddy!
Hello friends. On today's show, we broke up with the rest of the country... We had to make a tough call to Christchurch to officially end things. It was tough. Breaking up is never easy. But sometimes it's just gotta be done... Pray for us. We also rewarded another essential worker, what we like to call "Iso-Legends" thanks to our mates at Skinny. All that and more on today's poddy! Enjoy!
If you've ever done one of the NZ Herald quizzes, they're often quite challenging and it's hard to score a 10/10. But today we took it upon ourselves to try today's quiz, with the help of our wonderful listeners (and a "phone a friend") to score a 10/10. We did it, and it was a whole lot of fun!
Kia ora! On today's show we discussed a wedding dilemma. If a couple don't show up to your wedding, is it acceptable to invoice them the cost of their food?! We also caught up with someone who has contracted Covid TWICE. The original Covid and the Delta variant! Finally, we tried to hunt out the person in NZ who has had the most Covid tests. Enjoy the poddy!
In this MINI edition of the Jono & Ben podcast, we catch up with Lisa Adams after winning Gold at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.
Kia ora whānau, on today's show we spoke with Lisa Adams, who just won a gold medal in the shot put at the Paralympic Games in Tokyo! She is Valerie & Steven Adams' sister. What a blimmen talented family! She's a real hard case and it was so good catching up with her. We also spoke about how someone MAY have stolen our idea for our "spread your legs" facemasks (although they're putting proceeds towards charity... so... we can't complain). Finally, Jono had to pick up something from the chemist yesterday and compared it to something very illegal. Enjoy the poddy!
Hello friends! Today we played a non-stop game of 5 Words for $5K and kept playing until we gave away the cash. It was a long show! Ben finally managed to match all words with Sarah from Tauranga just before 1pm and now Sezza is $5K richer! We also delved into what's making Ben nervous today, as well as catching up with Matiu Walters from Six60 ahead of the release of their new song Pepeha.
Hello friends! Hope you're surviving in lockdown and hopefully we can keep you company for an hour or so through this poddy! Today we spoke to listeners Maggie & Matt who are locked down together with their kids. Maggie is working from home & Matt can't, but Maggie still seems to be homeschooling the kids while juggling work. Why isn't Matt doing it?! We delved into this and got some advice on what these guys should do... Jono also got caught out having a "man's look" at home. Claaaaassic when the wife finds it within 2 seconds and the hubby seems to have been looking for hours! Finally, we rewarded another Iso-Legend - an essential worker doing great things in lockdown. Enjoy the show!
Hello fine people of Aotearoa and anyone who may be listening in other countries... With Covid making a comeback in NZ, Jono decided to spice up a phone call to his wife Jen and call her with some sexy chat... some sexy COVID chat... Did Jen like it? Have a listen to find out. We also caught up with Ganesh Raj who hosts Eat Well For Less on TVNZ, to get a bit of lockdown cooking inspo using the ingredients you have in your pantry. All that and more! Enjoy the poddy, friends.
Kia ora! On today's show, we caught up with Newshub Entertainment Reporter and Film Reviewer, Kate Rodger, on the shows we should be binging this lockdown. Even when we get out of lockdown, we'll probably still be binging them! Since we're on the topic of binging... Jono got into another internet wormhole, this time about Netflix. Did you know that Netflix started before Google?! Finally, we caught up with Sir John Kirwan, and this was a really awesome chat about how we can keep ourselves mentally healthy in lockdown. Stay safe, stay sanitised and good day Aotearoa!
Kia ora whānau! On today's show, we delved into the one thing that Ben is nervous about today. There are many things. Ohhhhh so many things that our Ben Boyce is nervous about today. But we made him choose just one. And it was when there are too many people on Zoom, to the point where it stresses him out and he leaves the meeting! Is this justifiable!? We also caught up with Anna Grimaldi, a Paralympian in long jump, who won Gold last Olympics. The Paralympics begin tomorrow in Tokyo and she's competing again, HOPEFULLY SHE BRINGS ANOTHER GOLD HOME! We also caught up with Viv from "Girls Get Off"... Finally... after Ben's embarrassing moment in a group chat. Enjoy the poddy!
All week we've been leading up to today where we can play a Christmas song on the radio because lets be honest, we all need some cheer in these Covid times! Then we got carried away and kept playing Christmas music until we got 12 no's. The 12 no's of Christmas. But Ben had a bit of a hilarious fumble when asking for calls which completely changed the name of the segment! We also caught up with TVNZ News Reporter Jenny Suo who was on a solo tramp with no cell phone coverage when the lockdown was announced. She came out of the tramp, was very confused when nobody was around and had a barrage of messages from people when she turned on her phone. Enjoy the poddy!!
It wouldn't be a lockdown without a champagne Jono & Ben parody song. This time we used Ed Sheeran's song Bad Habits, so ENJOY. We spoke to a guy who is selling KFC from the day before lockdown on Facebook Marketplace, and the offers he is getting for the 2-day old K-Fry is INSANE. We also played our own version of the Masked Singer... So chuck the poddy on, kick back, eat some snacks and SOAK UP THIS LOCKDOWN!
Kia ora New Zealand, we are baaaaaaaack in lockdown (and in your earholes)! Hope everyone is doing ok. We are acutely aware that the number of listeners we had this morning probably averaged at about 5, but luckily you can catch us on this poddy! Even though the lockdown news is pretty dull, we had some fun on this show to bring you guys some laughs! We spoke to Mitchell who was up at 6.30 drinking bourbon, the true definition of going hard and going early. We caught up with The Hippo AKA Chris Hipkins, and of course while we chatted Covid, we also VERY IMPORTANTLY pitched some more nicknames to him. And finally, Ben went on a couple of on-air dates with some listeners. Weird. Anyway, today's a fun one. Stay safe, stay sanitised and GOOD DAY AOTEAROA!
In a new segment we introduced recently, we delve into the brain of Ben Boyce and uncover the things that he's nervous about. He's always operating at Alert Level 4, and today his anxiousness comes from shopping mall changing rooms! We also spoke about how JLo deleted all pictures of ARod off her social media which sparked a conversation about whether it's ok to still have photos of your ex on social media (or even around your house), especially if you've got a new partner. All that and more on today's poddy!
Every person's worst nightmare. Sending the right message but to the wrong person. Unfortunately, Ben bore the brunt of this over the weekend, BIG TIME. Another unfortunate moment happened to Ben this morning (wow he's really feeling the true effects of a Monday, isn't he), when he realised live on air that he had stepped in dog poop. Finally, we got Sienna back in the studio to pull a bit of a prank on a baby factory. Enjoy the poddy!
We spoke about the awkward encounters you've had with an ex, and golly gosh some belters came through. People whose ex was their midwife, people whose ex wanted them to be their egg donor... you name it, we probably had that call on. We also played one of our fun games called Liar Liar, where we have 2 people on the phone explaining some wild stories, but one of them is lying. Today's liar was blatantly obvious! But the person telling the truth had an incredible story from their travels. Today was a fun one. Enjoy the poddy!
This morning Vaccinologist Helen Petousis-Harris joined us to answer all of your COVID vaccine questions.
Kia ora! Yes, our old producer Heidi put Jono right back in his place after he said something quite controversial in the office! With the news of Jennifer Aniston & David Schwimmer AKA Schwimmerston getting together (potentially?), we called GORE of all places to break the news and see if they cared. Finally, we had vaccinologist Helen Petousis-Harris on to answer all your Covid vaccine questions. Enjoy the show!
Today was OH WOW WEDNESDAY, where we encourage you guys to call up and make us go WOW. It could be a talent you've got, or a story that happened to you that we won't believe. We had Judy on who told the most insane story about her cheating husband's girlfriend giving birth. Crazy. Today on the show we also caught up with Jacinda Ardern - does her daughter Neve know what she does for a living? The answer may surprise you! Not only did we have the Prime Minister of the nation on, but we also had the mother of the nation, Hilary Barry! She's got a new TV show called Give Us A Clue on TVNZ1 with Paula Bennett and Tom Sainsbury. Enjoy, today's a good one!
This was VERY INTERESTING! We spoke to a lovely man we recently met, Doug, who is the biggest movie buff we've ever come across. He's seen so many movies in his lifetime, spends weekends doing movie marathons, spends his evenings with his movie-critic wife watching different films, ALL while managing a normal job, too. So we put him to the test and got you guys to call up to see if you could stump Doug, by describing a movie plot and he had to guess the title. We also played another game of Olympic Rings, where we call people and see if they pick up within 5 rings. Today we did it with Olympians Caitlin Regal & David Liti! Finally, we delved into what Ben is nervous about today, considering he's a very nervy human being! Enjoy the show.
We got Ben's daughter in again to do another wee prank call... This time, on a wedding planner. Would they take her request seriously and help her plan a wedding for her dolls? We also spoke to a guy from work, Andy, who was paid by Newstalk ZB to sit down and watch ALL the coverage of the Olympics. He had multiple screens going and wasn't allowed to stop watching when it got late. ALL IN THE NAME OF NEWSTALK ZB CONTENT! Finally, Jono lost his work swipe card (again) but found it in the most bizarre location. Enjoy the show!
We had a lot of fun this morning talking about the things you used to hide from your parents as a kid. One listener phoned up and said she accidentally got an "adult virus" on her family computer after going on a particular site... What she did with that computer afterwards was hilarious! We also played a bit of a game involving the 5 Olympic rings. Sounds bizarre but have a listen... and it may still be bizarre! We also spoke to Stan Walker & All Black Karl Tu'inukuafe on today's show too! Enjoy the poddy.
Kia Ora! Firstly we'd just like to say a big RIP to Bernardino. Thank you for all the memories, most of which we can't remember. To pay respects to Bernardino, we got the tributes flowing in of all your wonderful (or not so wonderful) memories with the fine wine. On today's show we also hunted down our most talented listener; there was one guy who can make cricket and bird noises from his mouth, VERY REALISTIC. Send that off to the animal noise awards! Finally, we chatted about what it's like to have kids at a wedding. And by the title of this podcast, you can probably guess what happened to one listener. Enjoy!
Kia Ora! On today's show, not only did we speak to the voice of Lisa Simpson (so cool hearing Lisa talk back to us!), but we also spoke to a man from the state of Georgia in America, to see what really is so good about the peaches there. Because Justin Bieber has a whole song dedicated to the peaches out in Georgia, so they must be good! Finally, Ben found something old of his that he realised was suuuuuch a fad. So, we asked what fads you got swept up in and my god there were some goodies! And some fad-obsessed people! Enjoy the show.
Ben bought some "camel ball" lollies and his daughter was so confused as to why these lollies were so funny. How do you explain what they are to a child!? We also spoke about the moment you realised you were an adult. For Jono, it was when he was in a meeting with an executive, and she was younger than him! Finally, we caught up with Paul Henry who's in MIQ in Rotorua at the moment, after he sent us a random text asking to catch up! Enjoy the show!
Join us on this special edition podcast where we catch up with a bunch of our Olympians who have won medals at the Tokyo Olympic games so far!
Today we caught up with some more Olympians from the Tokyo Games; Emma Twigg, Hamish Bond, Grace Prendergast, Kerri Gowler & Brooke Donoghue! Ben also has a bone to pick with someone from his household that is getting more TV jobs than him... and no, it's not his daughter! Finally, we got Ben's daughter to call up Chris Mac from Six60 and see if she could convince him to play at her 12th birthday party. Enjoy!
Today is Red Nose Day, Cure Kids' biggest fundraising appeal - where all donations go towards the research needed for kids with health conditions. No parent ever wants their child to go through illnesses that are sometimes undiagnosable. But with Cure Kids and the funds raised, it means we're one step closer to helping these kids and families! If you want to make a donation today, you can text RED to 3663 to make a $3 donation. We spoke to some important people associated with Cure Kids about the importance of medical research & fundraising. As well as this, we spoke about Ben's friend's absolute Zoom blow out when he was on an important business call, and the things you get unreasonably upset about! Enjoy the show.
Jono noticed that during & after the chat with The Rock and Emily Blunt, Ben made a promise to Emily and Jono that he'd get their names tattooed on his butt too... AHA! Will he follow through with these promises? Jono also did something very controversial to producer BHumps yesterday, outside of work... So we held a little intervention. Finally, we caught up with Martin Cocker from Netsafe. It was a very interesting chat, we spoke about internet safety, whether you should allow sites to "remember" your credit card details, the nifty ways scammers can get your details, and how to manage kids going on social media. VERY INTERESTING! Enjoy the poddy!
Weeks of planning, months of anticipation, as to whether Dwayne The Rock Johnson would finally see Ben's tattoo dedicated to him on his butt cheek! AND IT CAME TO FRUITION! But just you wait, because Dwayne RECOGNISED the tattoo and proved that he had seen it before! Emily Blunt was also involved in the interview and she was an absolute hoot, she even requested Ben get her name on the other cheek. In today's poddy episode, we also caught up with Bronze medallist & triathlete Hayden Wilde about his race and his experience in Tokyo. Finally, Ben accidentally traumatised a flight attendant on his holiday with his gum-chewing habit... Enjoy the show, it's a goodie!
Weeks of planning, months of anticipation, as to whether Dwayne The Rock Johnson would see Ben's tattoo dedicated to him on his butt cheek! AND IT CAME TO FRUITION! We surprised Ben big time. He thought he was going to a screening of Disney's Jungle Cruise, which stars The Rock & Emily Blunt. Instead on the big screen was The Rock & Emily sitting on Zoom! It was awesome. He spoke about his time living in New Zealand, he got to see Ben's tattoo in the flesh, and it was a whole lot of fun. Check out the interview here.
The cat is out of the bag! We surprised Ben with Dwayne The Rock Johnson and Emily Blunt over Zoom, ahead of Disney's Jungle Cruise being released this week. We'll be playing the full interview tomorrow, but FINALLY. AFTER MONTHS. IT HAPPENED. We also talked about the everyman sports that should be in the Olympics. Parallel parking? Carrying all your grocery bags all at once? There are so many, we need an "Everyman's Olympics"! Finally, we caught up with Elaine Lamont, a woman who, along with a bunch of other "grannies", fought off thieves who tried to steal their money while playing bingo! What heroes! Enjoy the show.
Kia Ora! On today's show, we wondered if anyone had received a gift from a celebrity, and we spoke to a guy who received Sonny Bill Williams' Rugby World Cup medal in 2015, after he ran on the pitch to celebrate NZ's win! And he got to KEEP the medal! Such a crazy story that was awesome to hear first-hand. Also, it's safe to say the Olympics are captivating us all, making us experts in sports we usually know nothing about! But Jono got into another internet wormhole on the Olympics, some of the things we learnt were so interesting. Did you know that at the 1900 Olympics, the Netherlands didn't want the cox they already had for their rowing boat. So they plucked a 10-year-old boy out from the streets of Paris, put him in as their cox, their boat won gold, but the boy disappeared after the race before they could figure out who he was. To this day, nobody knows the boy who accidentally won gold. Crazy stuff! Enjoy the poddy!
We heard some of the most outrageous stories about your CLAIMS TO FAME, one woman worked with Kanye West (and spilt the TEA on him), another met Meghan Markle before she was a royal, and one held hands with Colin Farrell! CRAZY STUFF.
Ben hates teeth-related stories, so Jono got him to play a game of "Tooth or Dare". Listeners called up with a gross tooth-related story, and Ben had to choose between hearing that story or doing a dare created by Jono. Some of the stories we heard were DISGUSTING.
And what an iconic Kiwi she is! What's her job now? Does she still cycle at all? Does she keep her medal in her sock draw like all the other Olympians we've spoken to this week? Have a listen! She's awesome. We also spoke about the utter HURT (!!!) we've felt this week on our tour where kids have outright refused to get photos with us when their parents suggest it. Kids are the most brutally honest human beings. Finally, we caught up with Tess Barker. You may not know the name but you'll know the movement she started, #FreeBritney. She and her friend Babs started a podcast back in 2017, where they dove deep and humorously analysed Britney's Instagram account. However, upon further research into Britney's life and conservatorship, they realised just how much she was being controlled by her father. So we caught up with Tess about the current court case, whether she has personally spoken to Britney yet, and what we hope will happen for Britney. It's a goodie! Enjoy the show.
This morning we caught up with Tess Barker. You may not know the name but you'll know the movement she started, #FreeBritney. She and her friend Babs started a podcast back in 2017, where they dove deep and humorously analysed Britney's Instagram account. However, upon further research into Britney's life and conservatorship, they realised just how much she was being controlled by her father. So we caught up with Tess about the current court case, whether she has personally spoken to Britney yet, and what we hope will happen for Britney.
That basically means she gets placed out in the middle of the ocean and stays there until Coastguard find her, as part of their training. CRAZY. And she doesn't even get paid to do this! So we threw it out there and wanted to find someone with the most unusual job. We heard from a professional "taster" and a professional "golf ball diver". We also spoke to Olympic Diver Anton Down-Jenkins ahead of his departure for Tokyo. Enjoy the podcast!
Hello everyone! Today we tried another round of our game Six Degrees of Separation, where we get a caller on and we've got 6 questions to ask them to figure out if there's a connection, or if we know the same person. Today we had A GENUINE WINNER for the first time!! Our faith in this game is restored! This week we've also been catching up with former and current Olympians ahead of the games in Tokyo, and it's been super interesting. Today we chatted to pole vaulter Eliza McCartney, and gymnast Misha Koudinov. Enjoy the poddy!
Kia ora! Today we broadcast from Nelson, SUNNY NELSON! Although it should be renamed FREEZING NELSON after the temps we experienced this morning! Today we discussed a situation that happened while on our trip away, that resulted in Ben potentially having a new wife. Awkward. We also caught up with PM Jacinda Ardern and discussed the fact that Ed Sheeran wants to play at her wedding, what she's doing about funding for the mental health sector, and when more vaccines are coming our way. Finally, we caught up with a couple of Olympians, Maddie Davidson (trampolinist) and David Liti (weightlifter) ahead of the games in Tokyo. Enjoy the poddy folks!
We played a fun game of "I was today years old when I found out". We found out a whole new meaning to the "why did the chicken cross the road" joke, what CLUB in Club sandwich stands for, and tricks you can do on your iPhone! We also caught up with former Olympian Caroline Evers-Swindell, one of the twins in NZ's famous rowing double. She was hilarious to chat to, did you know she never even told her children about her achievements, they found out at school!? So funny! Enjoy the podcast.
Kia Ora and happy Friday! On today's show, thanks to the new movie, Space Jam: A New Legacy, we gave listener Steve and his son Cody the opportunity to take 10 shots at a basketball hoop, and for every shot they got, they took away $1000. For every shot they missed, we gave it to a listener on the phone. How much did Steve and Cody walk away with? Have a listen to find out! We also spoke to our friend Andy who had a bit of a test for our listeners - without Googling, what are the 11 independent countries that have only 4 letters? Enjoy the show!
Gday! If you listened to our podcast a couple of days ago, you would've heard the bit where we had Ben's daughter Indie on, and Jono was trying to convince her to swear. Little did Indie know (until she heard about it later), that Jono stitched her up when we played it to air, and put beeps throughout it to make it sound like she swore... Ben played this audio to Indie and she was SHOCKED! We were also joined by David Harbour who plays the Red Guardian in Marvel's Black Widow, also Chief Hooper in Stranger Things! He's also married to Lily Allen and he told us all about their wedding in Vegas & their reception at In-N-Out Burger! Enjoy the show.
There are always those big moments in life that you always look forward to and always remember. But what happens when you miss them? Ben missed the auction of his own house and Jono missed his own 21st. Bet these sorts of things happen a lot! We also spoke about how Gordon Ramsay "ruined" a couple's wedding with his TV shoot, so we wanted to know about the things that ruined your wedding day. Enjoy the poddy!
Kia ora e te whanau! Ben's 9-year-old is the most responsible human being on the planet and has told her dad on several occasions that she will never swear in her life. But Jono took this opportunity with open arms to try and convince Indie to swear. How much bribery will it take for a 9-year-old to crack? We also discussed the one thing you can say to your boss that will guarantee a day off work, no questions asked. Some genius ideas came through! All that and more on today's poddy!
On today's show, we spoke to Calum Scott, you'll know his cover of Dancing On My Own - but his rise to fame was an awkward one on Britain's Got Talent. He's such a lovely guy and we had such a good chat with him. We also spoke about the things you hid from your mum after Ben and his daughter tried to hide something from his wife Amanda, but they very poorly disguised the evidence! Finally, we had a chat about whether you can force your food opinions on your children. Jane shared this dilemma; her family are vegan but her 9-year-old son now wants to eat meat. How does she navigate this!? Enjoy the poddy!
In this MINI edition of the Jono & Ben podcast, Calum Scott dropped by to tell us about his new single!
You may remember the iconic news story that broke in 1994, where just prior to the Winter Olympics, figure skater Tonya Harding was involved in a scandal where her ex-husband ordered a hit job on her biggest threat, Nancy Kerrigan. This story has since been turned into a film starring Margot Robbie. We caught up with Tonya over Zoom and it was a super interesting chat. We also discussed the movie or TV shows that scared you as a kid - The Child Catcher from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Chucky the doll, and pleeeeenty more! Enjoy the podcast!
You may have heard about her in the news during the 90s, or even from the movie I Tonya which came out a few years ago. Now former figure skater Tonya Harding has joined Jono and Ben for a really interesting chat.
In case you don't the infamous news story that broke in 1994, where just prior to the Winter Olympics, figure skater Tonya Harding was involved in a scandal after her ex-husband ordered a hit job on Tonya's biggest competition, Nancy Kerrigan.
Tonya's story was turned into a film starring Margot Robbie, and the American says she's so glad that her truth was finally able to be told through the movie. She also touched on her claim to fame as the first-ever American woman to land the triple axel ice skating stunt in competition and why the move is so hard to pull off.
In news, Principals around Tāmaki Makaurau have warned that there is an increasing amount of peer pressure for younger students to start vaping - a habit that has become a significant problem in almost half of all central Auckland primary and intermediate schools. This morning Kelly Burrowes joined Jono and Ben to discuss her study on vaping and the unknown causes and consequences of it. Read more at The NZH website now >> https://bit.ly/3jr890R
Kia Ora! We discussed Dadmin today and heard some wonderful stories from when dads around the country dropped the ball, or when they were in charge of the admin and it all went wrong. As well as this, we talked about the night show on Newstalk ZB with Marcus Lush. Jono was listening to him last night and noticed something Marcus does that goes against EVERYTHING you're taught in radio. So we tested it out on our show and my god it felt weird! Finally, you may have heard the story floating around about how some kids as young as 11 are vaping. So, we got Dr Kelly Burrows on who is currently studying the effects of vaping as part of a research programme at the University of Auckland. INFORMATIVE AF! Enjoy the show.
Aucklanders, all you'll be hearing about today is how cold it is. Non-Aucklanders, all you'll be hearing about today is how Aucklanders think 2 degrees is cold. Regardless of where you are though, talking about how cold it is can be the easiest small talk there is! So we tested this out with our COLD CALLING, to see how long we could banter with someone just talking about the temperature. We also delved into the lyrics of some of the most beautiful and romantic songs. But it's not until you sing it with creepy music in the background, that you actually realise how creepy some of these lyrics are! All that and more on today's poddy! Enjoy!
How early is too early to be sending work emails on the weekend, or is it even appropriate outside of work hours!? We're starting to think that sending emails at 6am on a Saturday morning is Jono's new favourite hobby... We also called back Liz from Legends Sports Bar in Porirua, because yesterday we got Ed Sheeran to call them and audition for their karaoke competition. But we caught up with Liz again to get a bit of a debrief on how she felt when she realised Ed Sheeran was the one singing on the phone! Finally, we played Liar Liar and spoke to someone who is on the hottest show on Netflix right now. Enjoy the poddy!
In this MINI edition of Jono & Ben, we ask when is it too early to call, text or email?
In this MINI edition of Jono & Ben, we sent some of The Hits whānau out in the cold this morning.
Kia ora e te whanau! Today on the show we had one of the best humans on the planet - Ed Sheeran. Genuinely one of the nicest guys to talk to! We spoke about Jacinda Ardern's wedding (he even said he'd make himself available to perform at her wedding!), we discussed his friendship with Courteney Cox & Elton John, and we even got him to anonymously audition for a karaoke night at a pub in Porirua. Did he make the cut? Have a listen to find out! Enjoy today's show.
The one and only Ed Sheeran dropped his brand new song and to celebrate he caught up with The Hits Breakfast with Jono and Ben, where he opened up about Bad Habits, going viral online with Elton John and what he thinks about New Zealand’s Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.
The British singer explained that the release of his latest track has been a mix of nerves and excitement – comparing the wait for the song to be unleashed on the world like the moments before a school exam.

We spoke to some icons of the 90s; like the voice of Barney, Karl Steven from Supergroove, Simon Barnett who hosted Face the Music & Steve Parr who hosted Sale of the Century. We reminisced on the best music, the fashion, the movies, the TV shows, the ads, and the gadgets that were all big in the 90s. This show was a whole lot of fun to do. So if you're over having to check your iPhone every 2 seconds for emails, Facebook messages, app updates and iMessages, just turn this episode on and transport yourself back to the good ol' days!
Hello hello! Today was a fun one, we spoke about when parents threaten their children, but actually follow through with it... like dropping them on the side of the road and telling them to walk home! We also crafted a little stitch up on Ben, he really wanted to speak to a Black Cap after their World Test Championship win. Producer BHumps couldn't get a Black Cap on, but instead got a guy from the office to pretend to be Colin De Grandhomme! Enjoy the show.
Kia Ora! On today's show we discussed the word that annoys the heck out of you when it's not pronounced correctly. Aks (instead of ask), expresso, somethink, and maaaaaany more. Some people got riled up! We also received a message from Fran Drescher, who you may know as the nanny from The Nanny, ahead of our 90s themed show on Friday. Finally, we caught up with a Palaeontologist and asked him a bunch of questions from some kids... like, what is a palaeontologist? (Hint, it's someone who studies fossils). Enjoy the poddy!
Kia Ora! On today's show we asked you guys what minimal roles in your school production you were given, and we had some brilliant calls. Nothing hurts your ego like having to play a road cone! Jono got into another internet wormhole, this time about who the richest fictional characters are. Yes, we know that it would be impossible to measure this, but from what we know, there are some damn wealthy characters! Finally, we caught up with the winner of RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under - Kita Mean, and my gosh our chat with her was FILLED with innuendos! Enjoy the show.
On today's show, we began reminiscing about the best things that happened or existed in the 90s. We're compiling a list because this Friday we're doing a complete 90s themed show - music from the 90s, guests who were big in the 90s, outfits from the 90s and more! We also caught up with Clarke Gayford who made an incredible birthday cake for Neve's 3rd birthday - it had a screen in it so he could change the "theme" of the cake up! We then discussed when you've gone above and beyond for your kids birthday parties (unfortunately the Kardashain's didn't call up). Finally, we caught up with Paul Wood, who was convicted of murder and spent years behind bars. He became the first person in NZ to progress through undergraduate & Masters degrees while in prison. Now a motivational speaker & development specialist, we caught up with him and talked about stress, and how to realise that stress can actually be a good thing. Enjoy the show!
Jono has recently been teaching his son about some great music from back in the day, and we then stumbled across the topic "if you could play one song to someone who had never heard music before, what would it be?" and it honestly made us remember some of the greatest songs in history. Bohemian Rhapsody, Man in the Mirror, Sweet Caroline, we covered 'em all! We also played another game of Liar Liar, and ended up speaking to a woman who is a professional cuddler, and legitimately cuddles people to make a living. All that and more! Enjoy.
Kia Ora! Today we asked how your kids have accidentally cost you. A mother in the US shared that her 10-month-old son accidentally bought a "Tesla Upgrade" on her phone... What a nightmare. We also discovered that Jono's newfound love of "speech to text" on his phone, results in a whole lot of embarrassing typos in his text messages. Finally, we were joined by Kiwi actor Vinnie Bennett who's in Fast & Furious 9, playing a young Dom (AKA Vin Diesel!) Enjoy the show!
A star-studded show! We caught up with Jacinda Ardern, and we discussed the weirdest thing she's done as Prime Minister, & who the most annoying person in her job is... We also caught up with British singer Anne-Marie who explained the story about how she got slapped in the face by a shark in South Africa. The Aussie boys from The Inspired Unemployed also popped in for a chat, and if you don't know who they are, you must search them up on Instagram! Finally, we continued on the chat from yesterday about how your life is like a movie and we had some more cracking stories. Today's a goodie, enjoy!!!
On today's show, we spoke to Millennial Max about how he LEGITIMATELY slipped on a banana peel on a footpath. Who knew this actually happened in real life? So we asked you guys whether anything had ever happened to you that could've been in a movie. Tavita phoned through and told the story about how he stopped a jewellery heist! We also caught up with journalist Paddy Gower about his new documentary Paddy Gower on P, where he explores NZ's "P" problem. Finally, Amanda bought Ben a genius & very useful item that he doesn't seem to be using, but he really should be!
Hello! Today on the show we had a school teacher on who was approached by a former student, now in his 20's, who wanted to go on a date with her. Should she do it, or should she leave it? Ben's daughter's love for making signs & notes turned into a very ironic moment, and we also spoke about the dangers of saying you're "5 minutes away". Enjoy the podcast!
British talk show host Graham Norton caught up with Jono and Ben to give us all the goss.
He dished on his collaboration with Kiwi-owned Invivo Wine, the celebrities he’s interviewed that he still gets star-struck by, and of course how so many Kiwis end up on The Graham Norton Show’s iconic big red chair.
He also took a quick quiz and revealed what he really thinks of some of New Zealand’s famous faces.
Hello and welcome to Friday's podcast! Today we were joined by the legendary Graham Norton, who has created a bunch of wines with Kiwi brand Invivo wines. He was a lovely guy to chat to and we were very lucky to have NZ's only interview with him! We also reflected on Jono's worst moments of the week, which is always a highlight. Finally, on a random topic, we tried to find the person with the highest odometer number in their car! Enjoy the show.
Hello! Today we announced the huge guest that joins us on the show tomorrow, he's up there with the A-listers! We also caught up with Mitch James and Shaan from Drax Project who are going on tour together, and we played a fun game with them involving lipreading and soundproof headphones... Finally, Jono's got a bugbear with the work email system that he just can't figure out. #Boomer. Enjoy!
Hello hello! Today was a really interesting show. If you haven't been following along with the international drug bust that has resulted in the arrest of 800 criminals, you really should be! We spoke to Jared Savage from the NZ Herald who gave us a rundown on what has happened, and how an app created by the FBI has caught so many criminals around the world! On a completely different and lighter note, we discussed the BTC - Best Toast Combos. Producer Juliet eats avocado with feta on Vogels every day and claims it's the best combo to have on toast. We threw this out to you guys, and there were some very bizarre recommendations! Finally, we had another winner in our game 5 Words for $5K, lucky Susan from Te Awamutu was in sync with Jono today! Enjoy the podcast.
Today on the show we played a fun game that Ben stole from a radio station in Australia... But it was a whole lotta fun! We also heard some audio from Ben's daughter after going on the Canyon Swing in Taupo, she was BUZZING. And WOULDN'T STOP TALKING WITH EXCITEMENT. Oh to be a kid again! We also presented to you what we think are the world's most annoying toys - if you have any that are worse, please let us know on Facebook or Instagram! Enjoy the poddy!
Hello Hello! On today's show, we did a marathon of 5 words for 5K, not stopping until we had a winner, and we HAD A WINNER! Jade took out the $5000 with Ben locked in the soundproof booth. Ahead of the Queen's Birthday weekend, we decided to see if we could find anyone who had met the Queen, or a member from Queen the band! And we spoke to some really interesting people. Finally, is it acceptable to heat a fish pie in the work microwave?! I think we all know the answer to that, but we discussed this further... Enjoy the show & the long weekend!
Kia Ora! On today's show, we played a good old game of Liar Liar. This is where we have 2 callers on, each sharing an outrageous story they have. But only one of them is telling the truth. We ended up having a chat with Vanessa Cater who's worked with Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart & Adam Sandler. We also got Producer Juliet to give Jono the low-down on social media etiquette, and at what point you should follow someone on Instagram after meeting them. Jono got called out for not following someone, even though he doesn't have any social media! Finally, we spoke to a woman who had been secretly married TWICE. Enjoy!
Hello hello! After we spoke to someone in Methven who had Margot Robbie stay at the end of his driveway, we decided to OPEN THE FLOODGATES (and open the floodgates, we did!) to see the most famous people you guys have spoken to or interacted with. And there were some great stories! We also broke down some of Ed Sheeran's songs, and wow, we've made some discoveries about him. Finally, Ben's family now communicates in a VERY specific way... Definitely not normal! Enjoy the show.
Hello and welcome to the first day of June. As we always say, the year is FLYYYYIN BY! Today we discussed Boris Johnson's secret wedding that nobody knew about. We wondered whether any of you guys have got married in secret, and what the repercussions were!? Ben also went shopping with his daughter over the weekend and had a very awkward encounter that involved a mannequin and his wife's friend... Finally, we spoke to friend of the show John who currently lives in Oregon, USA, and he revealed that he has lived in a crazy number of towns in NZ, possibly the most we've ever heard of. Enjoy the podcast!
One of our listeners spoke to us about an issue she's facing at home; her partner's parents never help out or babysit their children. But should they be obligated to babysit since they're grandparents!? This was a hot topic this morning! Ben also took his daughters to the Wellington Phoenix game over the weekend, and they did some woooonderful commentary of the game, when they had absolutely no idea what was going on! Finally, we were joined by Dr. Libby who gave us some good old tips on how to keep yourself healthy as we head into cold and flu season. Enjoy the poddy!
If you're a huge fan of Friends, get this podcast in your earholes ASAP! It's been one of the most highly anticipated reunions, the Friends reunion. We celebrated by doing our very own "Friends of Friends" reunion, where we spoke to the people on the outskirts. The extras, the cameos, and the people (other than the main cast) that were involved. We spoke to Ross' first wife Carol, Mr. Heckles, a woman who was cast as an extra and got taught to act by Gunther, Phil Solem from the Rembrandts who sang the theme song, and Greg Grande who was the set designer of the whole show. It was so interesting chatting to all these people and learning about so many behind-the-scenes secrets! Enjoy!
Hello & happy Friday! We were joined by a couple of great guests today. Jared Fell, who is a comedic magician, did a couple of magic tricks in the studio and we literally couldn't believe what he did. Insane. We also had Greg Grande on, who was the set designer of Friends (and the Friends reunion too!). On the topic of Friends, we discussed the greatest things from the 90s that we'd love to bring back today. Mixtapes, oversized cellphones etc. Enjoy the show!
Kia Ora! Continuing on with our Friends reunion, we caught up with Larry Hankin who played Mr. Heckles. He was around for 5 episodes before he got killed off the show! Larry told a very funny story about what happened once he found out about the death of his character. Jono also got into another internet wormhole but about some really interesting things you may not know about Friends. Finally, Ben's wife Amanda loves shopping, and he's picked up on the 5 things she usually says to justify her purchases! Enjoy the show!
Hello! Today we were joined by Phil Solem from The Rembrandts. Now you may not know the name, but you will absolutely know the Friends theme song, and he's 1/2 of the duo who sang it! We chatted to him about how the song came to be and the famous clap we all do when we sing along. Ben also shared that he cried at his daughter's football game, very embarrassingly. Finally, Jono was almost a very good Samaritan last night. ALMOST. Enjoy the show!
Hello hello! Our Friends of Friends reunion continued on, and today we spoke to Michelle Davies, who got the opportunity to feature as an extra on Friends. She was such a great chat, and it was so interesting hearing what goes on behind the scenes and what the cast is really like! We also played a little game with Ben called Tooth Or Dare. Listeners called up with their horrific experiences involving teeth, and Ben had to decide whether he wanted to hear these grotesque stories or do a dare. Fair to say, we're all traumatised after hearing what some people have gone through with their teeth!
Ahead of the Friends reunion this week, we decided to hold our own! Not the main cast (because they would never dish any dirt!) but the people you will vaguely remember 😉 Today we spoke to Ross' first wife Carol, she was super interesting and was actually up to play Rachel initially! Non-Friends related, we also spoke to a lady who has had a change of heart and wants to change her 4-year-old daughter's name from Stella to Daisy. Is this ok to do!? Enjoy the podcast!
On today's show we played Liar Liar, where we were presented with 2 callers, both with big claims, and only one of them were telling the truth. The truth teller was someone who had legitimately won an Oscar! We were also joined by Suzy Cato, an advocate for Pink Shirt Day (which is tomorrow), as well as Delta Goodrem who is going on tour and will be in NZ in October. Enjoy!
Hello hello! Today was a very big show. It's Wednesday in NZ, which means it's "Teremana Tuesday" in America. Meaning, the day Dwayne Johnson reposts videos of his fans enjoying his tequila. This morning we made sure Ben wasn't checking Dwayne's Instagram account, so Jono could reveal the news to him live on air! We were also joined by Jacinda Ardern, desperate for some more scoop on her wedding. We asked you guys how you were a little bit naughty at work, and we also had an interesting win for 5 Words for $5K! Enjoy the podcast.
He's been in the news over the past few weeks, claiming he is Charles and Camilla's secret son that they adopted out shortly after he was born. He currently lives in Australia and has been investigating his links to Charles and Camilla. It was very interesting chatting to him! Afterwards, we spoke to our UK Royal correspondent, Gavin Grey, about his thoughts on all this news too! We also discussed not once, but twice, Jono's sleeping habits. One was about what happened to him when he fell asleep at a massage parlor, the other, what he did while sleeping on a plane. Enjoy!
Hello listeners and hello Monday! On today's show, we discussed the disastrous dates you've been on and whether you're still together with them despite that. Over the weekend, Ben discovered a bizarre eating habit of Jono's, and we also learned about Jono's illegal behavior in a taxi ride! #Naughty!
Yes, we aren't joking, we had these people on the show. Buuuuut they may not be the celebrities we know and love. Shhh... We also discussed the funny things you've taught your kids. Ben taught his about taxes, Jono taught his how to twerk. Interesting. Finally, Jono has been continuously served dieting ads, what are they trying to say!? Enjoy the podcast!
One of those things is just how much he is a menace on the roads, and the other is how much of a guts he is! We also caught up with Kiwi actress Stacey Leilua who is FOLLOWED BY Dwayne The Rock Johnson on Instagram. This maaaay be a way in? To get on his Instagram!? We shall see! Enjoy the podcast!
Responsible Juliet from our producing team is not as responsible as she seems... She's been captured on Google Maps doing something she would not want to be caught doing! We've also had no progress with being reposted by Dwayne The Rock Johnson and Ben maaaaaay be starting to regret the tattoo. So we asked for your regretful tattoos to help him feel a bit better (hopefully). Finally, Mitch James came on the show to promote his new song - he's always a great chat! Enjoy 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 you tell your partner to stop being friends with their ex if they are? Enjoy the show!
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 checking in with their parents? We also caught up with some of the candidates of The Apprentice Aotearoa, which debuts on TVNZ 2 tonight at 8.30pm.
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, with Mother's Day on Sunday, we gave ourselves a little challenge & called our own mothers. Enjoy!
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! Finally, Ben's kids are obsessed with earning money at the moment, so will do WHATEVER they can to earn a couple of dollars. But the job Ben got them to do yesterday, was less than satisfactory for the girls! Enjoy the show.
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 who was married for longer than that, before they got a divorce. Because 27 years is a long time! Finally, Ben proved to us that he's not the only man-child around! Enjoy.
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 ideas for creative videos Ben could submit, let us know on Instagram @thehitsbreakfast! We also found out recently that Ben takes up about 80% of wardrobe space in the wardrobe he and his wife share. Poor Amanda can't even fit all her clothes in there because of Ben's excessive shopping addiction! Jono took matters into his own hands, and with the help of Amanda, gave away a bunch of Ben's clothes on air. Let's hope Amanda has more wardrobe space now! Enjoy the show!
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 cash that is stashed in the boot. But you have to guess the amount of cash in the car (to the cent!) in order to win both the cash and the car. We had our very first guess this morning, and you can tune in live to The Hits at 8.30am to be in to win! All that and more on today's poddy!
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 game to the table called Grandma's Green Underpants... Enjoy the podcast!
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, we wanted to hear your most unbelievable stories that would make us go NOOO..... Finally, Ben was very stoked when he was driving with Jono and beat Google Maps' time by a minute, and let's be real, there's nothing better than that feeling. Enjoy the show!

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 that someone should wait after a divorce before they start dating again. JUICY STUFF. Enjoy the show!
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 sent into the soundproof booth, so she won Rachel $5,000! HIGH DRAMA! Enjoy the podcast!
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 celebratory lunch regardless! All that and more on today's podcast.
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 yesterday we sat on the lucky seat that allowed us to give away 50 tickets to their show this weekend! We even had PM Jacinda Ardern on the show, and she gave away a double pass to a listener too. Finally, Ben chatted about the very sneaky thing he's doing when reading the Harry Potter books to his daughter. Enjoy the show!
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 Sir John Kirwan who gave us some advice on how we can perform at our VERY BEST at Eden Park, just like he has many times in the past (even though we'll just be squatting on seats...) Enjoy the podcast, and you can follow along with our challenge on our social media @thehitsbreakfast!
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 we attempt the biggest round of musical chairs tomorrow at Eden Park. Jono also told us about how he and his wife had to go through their wills, and how much of a bizarre experience that was. Enjoy the show!
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 about the most embarrassing evacuation you've ever had - one lady had to evacuate a building while getting a mammogram! Enjoy the show.
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 Christchurch when he landed, but it backfired. Finally, we caught up with the world record holder of the most seats sat in 48 hours, ahead of our biiiig task to sit in every seat at Eden Park to "unlock" 50 tickets to Six60's concert. Enjoy the show!
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!
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 you're married? Finally, we caught up with Kiwi artist Kimbra, one of the judges on TVNZ's Popstars, which debuted last night. We chatted to her about her experience winning an Oscar, and we snuck in a cheeky wee prank involving Vince Harder. Enjoy the show!
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 was a child! Jono is also on a mission to try and get Chris Mac from Six60 to give us 50 tickets to their Eden Park show, so we can give them away. Yes, we know, 50 is excessive. But so is Jono! All that and more in today's podcast episode!
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 West's old housekeeper, someone who checked Meghan Markle into a hotel, and someone who held hands with Colin Farrell. The calls continued on today, involving celebs like Michael Jackson, Sylvester Stallone, and Orlando Bloom! Finally, Producer Juliet interviewed Lauren Graham, who you may know as Lorelai from Gilmore Girls, about her new series on Disney+, The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers. Juliet was so nervous she finished the interview with big sweat patches! Enjoy the podcast!
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 Beau embarrassed him once again, seems like he's uncontrollable! Had a lot of fun on today's show, hope you enjoy!
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, Jono showed off a wee talent he has, at remembering phone numbers off by heart. Maybe one of his only talents!? We'll see! 😂
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 PODDY!
It's our favourite day of the year - April Fools Day! Today Producer B Humps tried to set up Jono & Ben with stories from people known for weird and wonderful things, where we spoke with a lady from the UK who is addicted to eating bricks. Plus we also spoke with Nurse Jenny from Invercargill, infamous for looking after UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson. We also chat with American actor Michael Peña about his involvement in the new Tom & Jerry movie. Plus, Jono has a shocker in today's 5 Words for $5,000. Have an amazing extra long weekend.
Today we called Matakana in the A to Z of New Zealand and called local Matakana resident and broadcaster Kate Hawkesby. We might be in a bit of trouble after making that call... We also talk smells that throw you back to your childhood (like playdough and deep heat!) We also catch up with pop trio (and brothers) AJR, who have just been certified GOLD in New Zealand with their song 'BANG'. We also opened the phone lines to listeners to tell their stories about where they've been stuck... We got some interesting stories... 😂😂
Hello! After the news of Prince William being crowned "World's Sexiest Bald Man", Jono decided to make his own top 5 list, BALD BROADCASTERS EDITION. We also chatted to Whitney Buha, a lifestyle blogger who had a botox procedure go wrong, which sparked the topic of botched beauty makeovers that you may have experienced. We had a brilliant caller who tried to do a bit of at-home waxing... it went horrifically wrong! Finally, Ben got gifted a piece of art about 6 months ago, he doesn't really like it, so is wondering whether if it's acceptable to sell it on Trade Me... Enjoy the podcast!
On today's podcast, Ben dissected Shania Twain's song That Don't Impress Me Much. And he has some thoughts, which are very valid! We also discussed when you misfired a text message or email to the wrong person & the consequences you faced from this. The list for the world's sexiest bald men came out, and Jono is shocked at who made the top 5. All that and more on today's show!
Kia Ora and HAPPY FRIDAY! Today we were broadcasting from Hamilton, from Plus Ninety One Cafe. Because we're away, Ben's daughter Sienna left him the MOST ADORABLE NOTE for him to read when he got to Hamilton. But it was also quite amusing too, bless her heart! Jono was also desperate to get either the Wiggles or the Chiefs in the cafe for an interview (The Wiggles are also in Hamilton at the moment), so he kept on requesting that if they were listening, they must visit! And one of them pulled through! Enjoy the poddy!
Happy Thursday - on today's show we had Julian Dennison, he's been in Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Deadpool 2, and he has a new film out, Godzilla vs Kong, which is in cinemas now. He's a really talented dude and is only 18! Jono also shared a huge mistake he made at the doctor's yesterday, and finally, we took some recommendations from you guys about what shows or movies we should be streaming at the moment! Enjoy the podcast.
Gday all! Today we were joined by Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern & we tried to play a little trick on her. Needless to say, she did not fall for it. THAT WOMAN IS SMART! (Duh). We also unpacked a bit of a dilemma regarding someone getting culled from the wedding list, but she'd already given a quite expensive gift. Ben shared an awkward hugging situation he found himself in, and Jono is living among hoarders! Enjoy the podcast!
Hello! On today's podcast, we discussed how Jono is a grade-A punisher on a plane. He's someone you DO NOT want to end up sitting next to. So if you ever end up next to him, we recommend asking to move seats! We also chatted about people's smart pets and went on a mission to find the smartest ones in NZ - and it seems that cats are smarter than dogs. Finally, Jono got into an internet wormhole about Coca-Cola (when is he NOT in an internet wormhole!?), so he decided to present some interesting facts about the drink. Enjoyyyyyyy!
Kia Ora! On today's show, we discussed eloping and got Millenial Max to phone his mum and tell her that he and his girlfriend had eloped. Not something a mother probably wants to hear...! Ben also got stitched up by Jono, resulting in the boys from Six60 getting a hold of & maxing out Ben's card. We chatted about the most amount of damage people have done at work, and Jono revealed a habit that he has that is probably very frustrating for his wife! Enjoy the poddy!
Kia Ora!! Today we executed a prank on Ben that the team had been working on behind the scenes for the last week. Just before our show started at 6am this morning, all of us individually (and subtly) left the studio, leaving Ben in there all by himself, with no idea how to run the radio desk. When the show was meant to go live, Ben was flustered and alone, trying to figure out what to do. It was a shambles and hilarious! We also played a piece of audio of Ben's daughter Sienna, who voices a radio ad, and she's only 11. So much more successful than her dad. So we asked you guys if your kids are more successful than you (opportunity to #humblebrag). Finally, we were joined by the boys from Kiwi band Drax Project who have a brand new song out!
Big old day with winning the America's cup along with Saint Patrick's Day, some HUGE celebrations were had! Yesterday after the show we executed a little prank call... We phoned a random person in the South Island and made them think they were reporting live from Auckland's viaduct for the America's Cup, she was very flustered and had no idea what was going on (naturally)! Jono also revealed that he's been going to the same fish and chip shop for 10 years, so we were wondering if anyone has been supporting/going to the same business for longer than Jono. Finally, Ben's family gifted him something that they thought would be good for the radio, so we road tested it. Enjoy the podcast!
Hello! At the time we write this, it is GETTING DOWN TO THE WIRE with the America's Cup. Team New Zealand is one race away from winning! So, we decided to play a cheeky game of Connect 4, but not in the traditional board game way. We challenged ourselves to see if we could connect 4 people to the America's cup and get them on the show. It could be the person who sewed the sails of the boat, the friend's cousin of Peter Burling, or the pilot who flew Luna Rossa's crew into NZ. And it wasn't a complete fail because we got 4 connections! Not only that, but we also had a big morning celebrating another winner of 5 Words for 5K. Enjoy the pod and GO TEAM NEW ZEALAND!!!
Hello hello! On today's show, we had a juicy story about a woman who wanted to set up "live locations" on her and her partner's phone, for ease of figuring out where each other are & coordinating their lives. But her partner refuses. Should she be suspicious of him because of this? Should she even be allowed to set up live locations on his phone? We dove into this! We were also joined by Riley Elliott - SHARK GUY! He's a marine biologist who swims & works with sharks, and he's hosting Blue Planet 2 live in concert. It was really interesting to catch up with him, his goal is to educate people on how sharks aren't as scary as they're made out to be. Finally, Jono did a VERY CHARITABLE ACT over the weekend in Palmy North!
Today we were broadcasting from Palmerston North at Robert Harris Cafe. Whenever we go away, Jono always seems to have some sort of issue - this time, he locked himself out of his room MORE THAN ONCE... Clearly, he doesn't learn from his mistakes! We were also joined by the lovely Kiwi actress Antonia Prebble who has her own podcast called The Most Of It, and season 2 has just come out. Finally, we played 5 Words for 5K in Robert Harris with a listener in REAL LIFE which was a lot of fun! Did she win $5K? Have a listen to find out!
We're in Palmy North today and we drove past a hair salon with the most genius name... Power Cut. How good! We got them on the phone and the floodgates opened! We had people call with their other punny business names, and there's nothing we love more than a brilliant pun. We also caught up with the Kiwi stars of RuPauls Drag Race Down Under, they're hilarious and such fun and they told a story about how they went to one of Adele's after parties! Finally, Jono stitched Ben up and made it look like he doesn't care about his family. Classic. Enjoy the podcast & your weekend
Kia Ora! After Oprah's interview with Harry & Meghan, we collected all of Oprah's questions, called our colleague Mike Puru, and played those questions down to him... It confused the hell out of him, but he answered them and therefore was TECHNICALLY interviewed by Oprah! We also caught up with vaccinologist Helen Petousis-Harris and she answered whether kids or pregnant women can be vaccinated, and how effective the vaccine will be once you get it. Finally, Ben's kids have found a very good loophole into getting him to buy them treats from the supermarket when he does the online shop. Cheeky cheeky!
On today's show we had two wonderful people join us. First off it was Jazz Thornton - mental health advocate and co-founder of Voices of Hope. She met Meghan and Harry in Wellington when they came to NZ - they sat down and discussed Jazz's work in advocating for mental health. Today we talked to Jazz about how we cannot disregard Meghan's comments about the state of her mental health, because it is so important to not shut people down when they open up about this. Not only that, we caught up with Karen Walker who is Barbie's official role model for 2021. Karen got to design and dress her very own Barbie in her own way! As well as this, (on possibly a less important note!) Ben is a bit gutted about how much "shelf space" his cartoon figurines have got at home... It seems his wife isn't too much of a fan!
Golly gosh, it seems right now the only thing in the news is Harry & Meghan's tell all interview with Oprah. And they spilt the TEA! Our royal-obsessed producer Juliet gave us the rundown with the best moments. We also caught up with UK journalist Gavin Grey, who gave his thoughts (very strong thoughts!) on the interview. We then asked you guys if you're team Meg & Haz, or team Royal... SO MUCH DIVISION! Other than royal chat, Ben came home with potentially the world's most annoying dog toy without even realising it. You think the sound of bagpipes or a child screaming is bad, wait until you hear this. Finally, Jono shared why he reckons he's the biggest idiot of them all, and the reason is valid! Enjoy the poddy!
It's International Women's Day today and we were joined by the powerhouse that is Chloe Swarbrick, she's only 26 and has achieved some awesome things in her life. We chatted to her about the importance of a day like today and the women that have inspired her throughout her life. We also had another winner for 5 Words for $5K! Finally, producer Juliet overheard a conversation in the office about a woman who isn't a big fan of her engagement ring after her partner recently proposed. Does she tell her fiancé or does she suck it up?! Enjoy the poddy!
Kia Ora! You may be aware that Jono has an irrational fear of peaches, no joke. But turns out that he's not the only one with an irrational fear of fruit... On the topic of eating, we also debated whether "serviette" or "napkin" sounds posher! We were joined by Dr Michelle Dickinson AKA Nanogirl who has a new TV show out on TVNZ on Demand called Kitchen Science, with kid friendly recipes! Finally, Jono discovered he is more self-centred than he thought. Enjoy the pod & your weekend, stay safe out there!
Hello! Today we discussed the story of an English lady who went on holiday, met a French man, and 3 days later decided to pack up her life and live with him in a van. VERY DRASTIC, but it's worked out for them, as they are now happily married! We were sure nobody could beat 3 days from meeting to moving in, but we had some incredible stories from you guys about how quickly you moved in with your partner. We also tried out a new game called THE GOOGLE GAMES. We thought it would be an absolute flop, but we were very pleasantly surprised! Iconic Kiwi singer Neil Finn also joined us, and finally, Ben has informed us that his photo app is filled with absolute junk, but there's a reason why!
Kia Ora! This morning, Jono proved that there are people worse at using technology than him. And trust us, Jono is an absolute BOOMER (sorry to the Boomers out there) when it comes to replying to texts and emails. We also chatted about the fact that Prince Harry used a stranger's bathroom when he went to their house. So, we did a wee (pun intended) social experiment. If Prince Harry can use a randoms bathroom, can we? We also wanted to know whether it's acceptable to use a friend's baby name on your own child, and whether this has happened to anyone out there. Such an awkward situation! All that and more on today's poddy!
Kia Ora & welcome to today's podcast! Producer Juliet shared a story about how she managed to have a conversation with Justin Timberlake in the middle of his concert about 7 years ago, where she was basically demanding he give her his towel! Crazy millennial! So, we wanted to know if something similar has happened to you, or whether a celebrity has ever stared you in the eyes. Some good stories came through! We also caught up with the Bachelorette Lexie Brown and her winning boyfriend Hamish after the final episode aired last night. Finally, we had recording producer on, Brian Malouf, who has produced songs & albums for Michael Jackson, Queen, Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers. Super interesting guy. Enjoy the pod!
Ah another change in Alert levels here in NZ! Hope everyone is coping ok. Today we caught up with Dr Siouxsie Wiles on the latest outbreak and what we can expect moving forward. On the weekend we had to eat some of the hottest chillies (lord help us, still struggling) and we wanted to know whether anyone else has ever eaten crazy foods like that. Ben also went to a friend's house for some family drinks on Saturday night (pre changes in alert levels), but he got completely lost on the way there and ended up making a bit of a fool out of himself...! Enjoy the poddy, stay safe and stay sanitised!
Hello! Today we discussed stories of survival, or why you shouldn't be alive. Actress Ashley Judd had a massive ordeal in Africa where she was in the middle of a jungle at night-time, fell over a fallen tree, broke her leg in 4 places and was left with nerve damage. After 4 flights back to America and an 8-hour surgery, she's recovering, but it was a very close call. So we wanted to hear whether you guys had been in a situation where you perhaps could have died but didn't! This was super interesting. On a slightly lighter note, Jono had a bit of a situation in the bathroom yesterday... He dropped something in the loo that he shouldn't have. We were also joined by professional boxer Joseph Parker ahead of his fight against Junior Fa this weekend, and we found out what it's like to go against someone in the ring who you actually really like. Enjoy!
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 eggs should be kept in the fridge or pantry. Too VERY important topics, obviously. Jono also discussed the thrill of driving his stressed boomer parents around when the petrol light is on. Finally, we had social media superstar William Waiirua on the show, he even joined in for the Celebrity edition of 5 Words for 5K!
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 know - what would wow us about your family? Finally, Ben's wife isn't too happy with him & his TV watching, and Jono has a new addition to his family! HAPPY DAYS!
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 from the office who's having a bit of a relationship dilemma. Her boyfriend wants to move to the UK, but she doesn't. Do they continue with a long-distance relationship or no!? All that and more on today's podcast!
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 sneak you free food, OH HOW GOOD WERE THOSE DAYS!? We also continued our A to Z of New Zealand and we phoned a lovely lady from a small town called Luggate to see what they're all about!
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 of his. Finally, we caught up with actress Eiza Gonzalez and discussed what it's like to be photographed all the time by the paparazzi - in light of the new Britney Spears documentary. It's ridiculous how much the paps know about celebrities. Enjoy the poddy!
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. Finally, we discussed whether it's ok to wear jewellery from an ex while you're with your current partner!?
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 stitch you up! Finally, we caught up with American actor and comedian, Anthony Anderson, who's in the successful TV series Black-Ish. Enjoy!
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 Levels in NZ and what they all mean. Jono shared a story about his recent "charity work" (eye roll, yeah yeah...), and we also caught up with British comedian Bill Bailey ahead of his NZ tour. Enjoy the poddy!
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 The Walkers. Ben also messed up on Valentine's day yesterday, so he used Stan's singing skills to redeem himself in front of his wife! Also, we caught up with Simon Trotter, the general manager of Antarctica Operations, to talk about the fact that an Antarctic Ute is for sale! And as Jono said "I wonder how many emperor penguins that ute ran over down there"... ouch. Enjoy the show!
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 you" to see if they'd be willing to say it back in a busy office! Did they pull through?! Finally, Ben's wife was going through their bank statements and noticed Ben had been visiting a certain place that made him super flustered! Enjoy the podcast, your weekend, and Valentine's day (if you celebrate!)
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 been stolen (worth $100K). But they then found it all dumped on a farm, all in their original condition. That is an incredible stroke of luck! Finally, Ben had something happen to him at a clothing bin that is just reeeaaally not ideal! ENJOY!
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 Tauranga who was invited on stage by Kiwi band, L.A.B, to perform in front of 20,000 people! His name is Michael Van Lieshout, and what an epic opportunity he had! Finally, Ben was in a bit of a funny situation where his friend tried to barter something from a shop they visited. Enjoy the poddy!
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 happened to you in a shop... breaking things, accidental shoplifting... We basically learnt through this that you just simply shouldn't bring your kids shopping! Enjoy the podcast!
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 Lawrence for the A to Z of New Zealand and chatted to the chef of a sheep shearing gang. What she serves them is probably more than the Hulk's diet. Finally, we caught up with Hilary Barry who is covering for Laura McGoldrick on The 3pm Pick Up, and she had a bit of a bone to pick with Ben.
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 Instagram account S**t You Should Care About, you really should. It's run by a couple of girls in Blenheim, boasts over 2 million followers and is followed by a bunch of celebrities. It's a modern-style news account that explains what's going on around the world that the mainstream media might not be picking up. Lucy Blakiston is one of the ladies behind it and we caught up with her!
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 to go through a 538-step process! So we asked you guys what you're still paying for, or what you're still subscribed to. And dear lord, we clearly need to sort our finances! Finally, Ben's wife Amanda loves shopping, but it seems that whenever Ben asks her how much it costs, she dodges the question in the slickest way... Genius! Enjoy.
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 see whether you guys had any special talents that you could impress us with. It was the 10 Second Talent Line! And my word IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! You guys have some mighty fine party tricks. Finally, Ben's wife absolutely humiliated and roasted Jono in the middle of a busy intersection... classic!
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. The boys also had a big rant about the difficulties of putting sunscreen on your kids, one of the many logistical nightmares when it comes to Summer! Enjoy!
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, newsreaders. And Ben had a very important job in helping them practise! It is also Laura McGoldrick's (from the 3PM Pick Up) last day at The Hits for the next wee while, she's off to have her second baby! So we sent Millennial Max to her house to give her some gifts from us. Not sure she was too impressed with our gifts... whoops! Finally, we had classic Kiwi band Elemeno P in the studio to chat about their upcoming summer tour.
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 this too! Enjoy the podcast!
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, Biden's Inauguration and Trump being banned from social media! So we asked you guys whether you've ever missed any major news stories, for whatever reason. Enjoy the show!
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-written book on it!!). On a side note, make sure you listen out for the moment when Ben takes the completely wrong end of a story. It ends in spectacular fashion... 😂😂
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!! 😂
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 $5,000! Have a great weekend team!
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 annoying thing people do. Enjoy the podcast and if you haven't already, flick us a follow on Instagram, just search @thehitsbreakfast.
On today's show we catch up with Heath Franklin's Chopper Reid as he heads to Aotearoa in March for his comedy tour and the NZ Herald's Katie Harris who had her identity stolen on social media. We also ask our listeners over 30 for the best advice for someone under the age of 30. Plus, it's day 3 of our 5 words for $5,000 competition and it's Ben's turn to have a go and see if he can match his words with a listener! Enjoooy!!
Nau mai haere mai ki tēnei kōnae ipurangi - welcome to the podcast! Today we chatted with British comedian Russell Howard, who is currently in managed isolation ahead of his tour in Aotearoa this month. It was a hilarious chat and definitely a taste of what to expect on his tour. He also revealed what it's like on the frontline of the Covid-19 fight in the UK, with his wife working in the medical sector over there. It's also day 2 of our brand new game 5 words for $5,000. Will Sandra score the $5K by matching her 5 words with Jono's in our word association game?! Jono slept through a riot over summer, so we want to hear what you've slept through!
Kia ora! Welcome back to 2021! We're stoked to be back on the radio and with you anytime via iHeartRadio! Today we launched our brand-new game, 5 Words For 5K, a word association game where you could win $5000 if you match up 5 words with the same ones as Jono or Ben. We also caught up with English singer Passenger, and found out what he's been up to recently. Our other guest was Louise Thompson, life and happiness coach. Jono also tells us about a swimwear trend he's noticed over summer at the beach... It's quite an uncomfortable story!
It's our last show & podcast of the year!!! We will be back Jan 18th. But today for our final hoorah of 2020 we had Jacinda Ardern join us! And we made her do another novelty pop quiz, this time to see whether she'd remember the biggest moments in her year. We also touched on Jono's worst moments of 2020 and my god we will be surprised if he's allowed back next year after some of the shockers he's had! We also wanted to end the year on a positive note and we found out from you guys why this year has been a great one despite the pandemic. It was nice hearing all your lovely stories. And that's us over and out! Have a great Christmas everyone and a safe New Year. We'll see you in 2021!
Hello! Today we had a couple of special guests on the show. First up was Keith Urban - country singer who is married to Nicole Kidman, and he's got a big hit with P!NK at the moment called One Too Many. We got him to call up ZM and try request his own song, without disclosing who he was. A claaaasic radio play. Our other guest was Sir Richard Taylor, founder and head of Weta Workshop. He's worked on King Kong, Lord of the Rings, Avatar and many more. Ben also had something very awkward happen to him when he was in a rush Christmas shopping with his daughter. Finally, Jono shared what happened when he went to the dentist yesterday, it was NAAHHHHT good.
Hello and welcome to 9 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS! To pull back the curtain a bit, all year we've been trying to get Dr Ashley Bloomfield on the show to chat about his very intense year. We probably asked him/his people every two weeks! And FINALLY he had a spare moment to chat with us. The greatest Kiwi of 2020! So he joins us, as well as the winner of our TV show Dog Almighty. If you haven't watched it, we'll try to not spoil it for you in this blurb 😉 Jono also got stitched up by a charity worker outside his house, and Millenial Max moved house but it was possibly the shortest distance in the world, and we wanted to see if anyone could beat him! Enjoy the poddy!
On today's show, we were joined by a couple of wonderful guests. Firstly, we had Kiwi actor Sam Neill who you may know from Jurassic Park or Hunt For The Wilderpeople. We also had Scarlett and her dog Coco from Dog Almighty ahead of the final tonight on TVNZ 2. As well as this, we reflected on when we visited 5-year-old girl Vivian to deliver her some presents ahead of Christmas. She has had a really tough year fighting cancer and going through chemotherapy, and she had a Zoom call with Santa while we delivered her some presents. It was a special moment! The video will be on our social channels today too. Finally, Ben took the credit for being a great & admirable parent when he probably shouldn't have. Cheeky Ben!
Kia Ora! Today we were joined by the one and only Grover from Sesame Street. He's the loveable blue character with the big red nose and my god he made us laugh. Jono also did a very good deed that Ben witnessed last week, that Ben also wanted to do. So he attempted it. But it backfired and just got awkward! Finally, we have released our very own Christmas song! Called 2020 CAN KISS MY CHRISTM-ASS. And it's really good, but only because we feature in about 5% of it. Kiwi singer Vince Harder was the reason it turned out so good! All that and so much more on today's poddy!
If you've listened to us quite a lot since we started at The Hits you'll know that Ben once made a big mistake with a gift he once gave his wife Amanda. A frying pan. IT WAS MEANT TO BE A ROMANTIC GIFT. She has never let him live it down. So we wanted some solutions on what Ben could get Amanda for Christmas and we had some hilarious (and practical) ideas! We also had All Black Jordie Barrett on the phone and there's a little kid who's a huge fan of him, so we surprised him with a phone call with Jordie, it was adorable. We also played Stealing Santa with The Hits team and it was a lot of fun because we ruthlessly stole all of producer Juliet's presents. Enjoy the poddy & enjoy your weekend, today was a fun one!
Today we discussed your "Sitter Stories", whether it was house sitting or babysitting and what went wrong. We had some absolute golden stories, one involving a spa overflowing all the way down the road. We also played The Jargon Game, Christmas edition. Ben had to call a random cafe and make a booking while at the same time trying to drop in words like "North Pole" "wrapping" and "Claus". Finally, Jono had a very awkward situation while at the petrol station yesterday when he forgot to bring his EFTPOS card.
The list of what New Zealanders Googled the most in 2020 has been released (including why were cornflakes invented, but that's one you can Google yourself... #NSFW) so we road-tested a game involving Google with you guys. It went horribly pear-shaped first attempt! Jono also has a bit of a bugbear (quite literally) because his pantry is infested with weevils and he doesn't know what to do about it. Finally, Ben utilised the old props from the Jono and Ben TV show to create his own creepy Santa in his lounge, much to his wife's disapproval. Enjoy the poddy!
If you've ever wondered what it would be like to date an international conman, well we talked to a lady who did just that. How did she find out? Did she see any warning signs? Did he try to con her? We asked her all those questions and it was super interesting to hear about it. We also got told by someone yesterday we were finally on an "age-appropriate" radio station. And yes, we have been on different stations in the past. But is that a compliment or an insult that we're finally on an age-appropriate station? We discussed this! Finally, we decided whether we were on the naughty or the nice list this year, and it might surprise you.
Hello and happy Monday, 18 days until Christmas! If you know us, you'll know we love a good pun. And Ben's daughter Indie REALLY made him proud when she told a great punny joke, one that made Ben question whether she stole it from the internet. We also crossed to some Big News from a Small Town - Dylan from Rangiora received a very passive-aggressive note in his mailbox telling him to mow his berm because it looked ugly compared to the neighbours... He read us the letter and Jono had some assumptions about who wrote it! Doggy Dan also came on the show to answer your dog-related questions. He was probably a dog in a past life because that's how much he knows about dogs! Finally, former All Black Carlos Spencer joined us to talk about his new TV show - Carlos' Reno Rescue. Enjoy!
Kia Ora and TGIF! Today we debuted what will be New Zealand's hottest summer song this year to keep us all safe. Think Sandstorm by Darude mixed with the Covid-19 ad... It's brilliant. Last night was also our work Christmas party and we asked you guys who has had the best Christmas party and there were some stories! Finally, we caught up with Nadia Lim who has a new childrens book out and it's adorable! What can't that woman do!? Enjoy the pod!
If you've seen 22 Jump Street, you'll know the face of Jillian Bell (she got to fight Jonah Hill in it!) We chatted to her over Zoom about her new movie Godmothered and my god she's hilarious. Yesterday Jono went and sorted his will out because he hasn't done it yet, but he took his daughter Poppy along to the meeting. But kids don't know when they need to act appropriately, they have no awareness! And she embarrassed him TWICE during the meeting which proves to us all, don't take your kids to meetings because it'll be a shambles! We also chatted about the movie scenes that always make you cry, and for some reason, Ben always cries during cartoon movies...! That and more on today's pod!
Kia Ora! On the show today we caught up with singer Vince Harder and played a wee game, he and his wife sang along to some surprise instrumentals we threw at them, like absolute PROFESSIONALS. If you listen carefully, Jono pipes up at the end of one of them, ruining the song... Shhhh Jono! We also found out that Elton John and his family have a ONE PRESENT RULE at Christmas time so we asked you guys about your present traditions. Ben also shared a story about how his daughter Indie fist-pumped at the most bizarre thing. She is one unique child! Enjoy the poddy.
Hellooooo! If you haven't seen or heard yet, an adorable little 5 year old boy from Christchurch, Angelou Brown, sent out a video to Dwayne The Rock Johnson as part of a campaign his family have been working on to end domestic violence. Angelou wanted The Rock to wear the tshirts they've had made that say "She Is Not Your Rehab" to spread this message to all his followers and fans. WELL, The Rock reposted Angelou's video last night with a beautiful message, and we chatted to Matt Brown (Angelou's dad) about this movement and The Rock's involvement. It's a very sweet and important story and a wonderful chat with Matt. On a slightly different note, Jono's daughter Poppy has a little obsession with insects. Once she wanted Jono to help her find a snail at 9.30pm, and now she's wanting him to help her build a worm farm. The issue is Jono has to find the worms and it's really not a task he's keen to do! We also caught up with professional competitive eater Nela Zisser who set a new Guinness World Record for the fastest time to eat the most chicken nuggets. And Ben surprised Jono with his least favourite food EVER, and Jono had to eat it! All that and a whole lot more today!
Kia ora and happy Monday, TOMORROW IS DECEMBER, HOW WEIRD. Today on the show we chatted with you guys about who is going to the most Christmas dinners this year, and also who has had the longest engagements, there were some goodies! Dr Michelle Dickinson aka Nanogirl aka genius scientist gave us an update on the Covid vaccines and answered some of your questions, man she raises the IQ of the show whenever she's on! And Jono told a story about the lengths he went to to avoid bumping into someone in public. Something rather innovative! Enjoy!
TGIF! No better feeling! On today's show we caught up with Anthony & Emma from The Wiggles ahead of their New Zealand tour next year. We decided to "audition" for The Wiggles and they judged us on whether or not we'd make the cut... Ben also shared an embarrassing situation that his friend was in when he was chatting to his accountant, which is a conversation you certainly don't want to have with your accountant! Jimmy Neesham also joined us, and Ben is desperate to go to the cricket tonight (but he has an important family dinner). So he took the opportunity to phone his wife Amanda and ask her, but she had the added pressure of Jimmy Neesham being there! All that & more, enjoy the pod and enjoy your weekend!
Pulling back the curtain a bit, off-air (as well as on-air) Jono calls everyone "mate". And it's become such a habit that sometimes he calls his wife, Jen, "mate" too. But Jen haaaaates it. And we wanted to figure out if all women hate being called mate by their partner, or if it's just a general term that can be happily thrown around! (We even called Jen to see how many "mates" Jono could slip in before getting told off...) Two of the boys from Six60, lead singer Matiu Walters and guitarist Chris Mac, also came in for a chat and we pitched a couple more movie ideas to them. Finally, we created a parody song of the ever-popular Savage Love song by Jason Derulo and Jawsh 685, but changed it to MARRIAGE LOVE! We're terrible singers so we enlisted the help of two wonderful singers you may know the names of...!
How would you feel being in the ocean, trying to catch your own fish for dinner, surrounded by hungry sharks who are also after the same fish? And on top of that, being naked and being filmed for a TV show? Horrifying, we know. The Wild Twins Amber and Serena are two Kiwis who have once featured on a previous edition of Naked and Afraid (set in Africa where they had to hunt their own food, while constantly being preyed on by big African cats...), and now they're on Naked and Afraid of Sharks! It was super interesting chatting to them about how they fought off the sharks and what the biggest challenges were. Was it being naked on TV or trying to survive in shark-infested waters? Jono also shared a funny story about his daughter Poppy who got a bit confused when referring to the male anatomy... On top of this, Ben's kids started a wild rumour about him and the types of movies he's watching. Shark content, kid content, ALL THE CONTENT for you on this fine Wednesday!
On today's show we caught up with Clarke Gayford about his new documentary "Shark Lockdown" which sounds as scary as it is. I mean, who would willingly put themselves in shark infested waters... Not us. But clearly Clarke...! He also shared with us what it was like when he and Jacinda met The Queen, and what they all talked about. Ben also shared the funny thing his daughter Indie said to Santa when she met him at Snowplanet on the weekend, and it just goes to show how advanced technology and how smart kids can be these days! As well as this, we held a little competition on who has the most loyalty cards, Ben or a listener, because my gosh it's easy to accumulate them all! Enjoy the pod!
Hello and welcome to Monday! Today we had a great interview with David Walliams. He's a comedian, children's author (they say the new Roald Dahl! Our kids loooove his books) and also a judge on Britain's Got Talent. He's a hilarious man and spilt some secrets about Simon Cowell! Also over the weekend, NZ's oldest mum gave birth at age 64 which is awesome. We also had an interview with Cristin Milioti - she plays Leonardo DiCaprio's wife in The Wolf of Wall Street, she's the mother in How I Met Your Mother, and is now in a new film with Andy Samberg. But we played a bit of a joke on Jono during the interview! Finally, Ben was left to keep an eye on his friend's child when they were out and about, but as you would expect it went a bit wrong and the kid went AWOL!
It's FRIDAY and there's absolutely no better feeling! Today's show was a real fun one. We had some great stories from you guys about when swimwear & togs have let you down, we caught up with Kiwi dancer Lance Savali who has danced with the likes of Beyonce, Rihanna and JLo (he spilt a lot of secrets about what it was like to work with those celebrities!) and we also did a wee social experiment to see whose parents would text them back first, and therefore whose parent loves them more... Enjoy the poddy and have a great weekend!
Hello and welcome to the Sarah Jessica Parker special! We were lucky enough to have a wine and a Zoom with Sarah Jessica Parker herself, because she's recently launched two wines with Kiwi company Invivo Wines - a Rosé and Sauvignon Blanc. We chatted about Sex & The City, Jacinda Ardern, her marriage to Matthew Broderick and much more (even Ben's Toy Story backpack...) Enjoy, it's a goodie!
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 her husband (Matthew's dad) passed away while making love to her, but she discussed this in an interview while Matthew sat next to her looking as embarrassed as ever. So we asked you guys, what is the one embarrassing story your parents always bring up around you, that makes you want to sink into a hole...?! Finally, Ben told a hilarious yarn about what his friend accidentally did with his mother-in-law, so hilarious, and we discovered Ben may have a skeleton in the closet about his own mother-in-law too! Enjoy.
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 Invivo who worked with Sarah Jessica Parker on her Kiwi wines. Tim wasn't the only great person who joined us, we also chatted to Caz (our favourite lady from Southland) when we called Invercargill for the A to Z of New Zealand. What a character she is!
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 veeeery in tune with dogs and is an absolute expert. Enjoy!
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 told us about how he had a public bathroom nightmare and it's not something you'd want to have happen to you! Finally, NCEA exams begin today for high school students so we played Man Vs. Child, where Jono takes on a kid with some questions, and today's kid smashed Jono!
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" (because of his last name!), have a listen to hear what he has to say about that.... All that and a bunch more yarns on today's pod!
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 partner after he tried to BREAK INTO HER CAR! And they're still together! So we wanted to see if anyone had met their partner in a more unusual way than that. Ben also had an incident up in our Kerikeri office involving hand sanitiser (jeez how many hand sanitiser incidents can he have!?). Enjoyyyyy!
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 thought would be very useful and that his wife would appreciate. Alas, she doesn't like it! Have a listen to find out what it is and if you'd like it in your house. And Ben told us a story about how on his wedding day, his wife did something that made him think she didn't want to marry him. Which STRESSED. HIM. OUT. Enjoy!
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! Enjoy!
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 discussed the hilarious times that technology has screwed you over. Enjoy!
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 about his new wine (and how he felt when Ben's wife Amanda took a bottle to a BYO!) and his new book that's out. And do you remember Keith and Sally from a while ago? They're an adorable couple from Kerikeri, and Keith spends a lot of his time picking up rubbish around town, by choice! (Bless.) We talked to them a few months ago and now Keith has been nominated for our "Good Bugger" award. We always love talking to them! Enjoy the podcast & have a great weekend!
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 hilarious calls about dates gone wrong. Finally, Jono was after a bit of praise because he reckons he's an absolute hero. A godsend. The greatest thing to grace this earth. And we gave it to him (sort of) because of his "heroic" story! Enjoy the poddy, it's a goodie!
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 honest, it's always interesting hearing about other people's jobs as long as it's not your own! We also caught up with TVNZ reporter Jack Tame who is currently over in the US and he explained to us (in baby terms, cause we need it) how the American voting system works and the vibe over there ahead of the election.
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 you may have about trying to train your dogs or fix any issues going on - he literally knows everything about dogs! Finally, it came out that the way Prince William "wooed" Kate Middleton was by cooking her spaghetti bolognese... The most basic dish in the history of basic dishes. So we threw it out there and heard some of your stories about the weird ways you wooed your partner!
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 is as a coach, as you can probably imagine! Finally, as people who have to go to bed early for work, we wanted to see if anyone goes to bed any earlier and WHY!? ENJOYYYYY!
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 to people about the celebrities they almost met. Harry Styles was recently invited inside a man's house for a cuppa tea after his car broke down outside the house, but turns out the superfan daughter who also lived there wasn't home at the time. Devastating for her, but we had some people phone up with stories about how they almost met a celeb too! Finally, we were joined by comedian Chris Parker who you may know from TV shows like Funny Girls, he featured on our old TV show a bit too, and he's hilarious on social media. Enjoy Friday, enjoy Halloween and enjoy the weekend!
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 anyone done it under $300? Yes they have! Listen to find out how they did it, because there are some good tips in there on how to keep the cost down. Enjoy!
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 that SHOULD be illegal - people who don't merge like a zip, people who don't thank you when you give way to them, you name it, we covered it!
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 recognised at the supermarket over the weekend but not as he would have liked. Finally, we wanted to know if anyone could beat Zac Efron - he is now engaged to his Australian girlfriend after only 3 months, but has anyone got engaged any quicker? ENJOY!
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 haircut, and it looks exactly like her wife Portia's, and we got some calls on what you have matching with your partner. Finally, we played a remix version of the NZ National Anthem before hearing about your weekend plans, and oh, what an array of callers we had! Enjoy this podcast episode and enjoy the long weekend.
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 instead of washing powder, and we had some great people call up telling us what delirious thing they did when they were super tired. As well as this, Reception Reception was back again, this time, Ben had some dodgy internet history he needed to get cleared...
'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 callers had to list off all the things they had in their handbag, and my GOODNESS these ladies hold a lot in their bags!! Enjoy!
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 that his wife wasn't very happy about! Finally, with our new TV show Dog Almighty on TVNZ 2 starting last night (and continuing tonight) we gave away $500 to someone who watched the first episode and got the codeword. We're doing this for a wee while, so if you want to win $500, watch Dog Almighty Monday & Tuesday nights at 7.30pm on TVNZ 2, look out for the code word, then tune into The Hits live the next morning and at 8am we will give someone the money if the codeword is correct! VERY easy way to win some cash! Enjoy the poddy.
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 our new show, you could win $500 each time you watch an episode, we explained this on the podcast too. It was also a big weekend for a lot of people. The election (we ran through some of the highlights and funny moments), the rugby (Jono got booed out of Eden Park) and the Benee concert was on, which Ben went to as well! Enjoy the pod!
'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 SHOW! But with two hosts that can't ask any serious political questions! But in amongst the political banter we gave away some All Blacks tickets (a child had to decide whether they won chocolate and an LOL doll, or All Blacks tickets for their parents, it was tense) and Jono had a situation with a note he left in his son's lunchbox today.
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!
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 phone system stopped working (lol!) about when you did the right job, but at the wrong place. All that & more on today's podcast!
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 from Say Nope To Dope). Finally, when Ben was visiting TVNZ he found some doors that made him happier than Jono makes him by being his co-host. Enjoy!
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 joined by David Seymour and Joseph Parker on the show too!
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 first time you've heard of it, Jono phones a random receptionist in NZ and leaves an embarrassing message for Ben, that he then has to retrieve. This time, Ben was a "local MP" and Jono was a journalist who had to do some fact-checking about the dodgy things Ben had done.
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! Enjoy!
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 "refreshment parent" in the middle of the night, we threw it out to you guys to see what roles have automatically fallen on you as a parent. AKA, what your partner isn't doing hahaha! Enjoy!
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 Mike on who absolutely did not disappoint. Finally, we're continuing to give away golf balls for our $10K Tee Off, and we played our favourite jargon game where Ben had to make a reservation at a cafe, while dropping in golf terminology. ENJOYYYYY!
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 to talk about the Black Clash coming up next year. ENJOY THE POD AND ENJOY YOUR WEEKEND!
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 go down to Taupo to try and hit a hole in one, so we can win someone $10K! Jono is also worried because his neighbour keeps gifting him cakes, and he feels bad because he doesn't have any skill or talents that he can return the favour. So if you have any ideas on what Jono can do for his neighbour to say thank you, feel free to DM us on Instagram @thehitsbreakfast! Any and all ideas welcome. Enjoy the poddy!
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 to give away the money! Also on today's poddy, Ben was walking on eggshells when his wife came home with a new haircut. And he's worried he said the wrong thing. We've all been there! All that and more on this episode. ENJOY ENJOY ENJOY!
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 Taupo and attempt the Hole in One Challenge. If we can get the hole in one, we win $10K and then we can give it away!
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 the bane of everyone's existence) and we wanted to know the rules you'd implement if you were in government.
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 Jacinda to announce the winner of our Kiwi ReferenDUMB! Happy Friday!
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 around the country with former cricketer Phil Tuffnel. All that and more!
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 spoke to the man who got a tattoo of Judith Collins on his thigh, one of her holding a gun that says "Crusher Collins". Finally, "Oh Wow Wednesday" returned, if you can wow us, you can win! Enjoy.
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 Colada song and we figured out its true meaning. Enjoy the poddy!
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 name it, he's probably done it). We also caught up with Lukas Graham, the singer behind that massive song 7 Years from a few years ago.
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 Fridee podcast!
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 told us all about it.
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 been shorn in 6 years (he carried 27kg of wool on him!) Enjoy the poddies amigos!
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!
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 wrote for him. Finally, we chatted to Ruud Kleinpaste - aka the Bug guy. He brought in a bunch of creepy little insects (including a redback spider. Yes you read that correctly) and shared with us some of his crazy stories. It's a goodie!
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 worst moments of the week. Enjoy!
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!
Kia Ora! On today's show, we discussed how Ed Sheeran is now a father and how his daughter is named Lyra Antarctica. Which sparked a topic, are you named after the place you were born or conceived? (Word on the street is that baby Lyra was conceived in Antarctica!) We also chatted to a lady who suffered a stroke and then 5 months later broke NZ powerlifting records. All that and a bunch more. Enjoy!
Today on the show we played News Jargon again, where Jono got Ben to insert topical words into a conversation with someone over the phone. Today's edition was rugby terminology. But the lovely lady on the other end of the phone picked up on what we were doing...! We also played Don't Call Us, We'll Call You, where we cold call random people around the country and throw surprise pop quizzes at them. We had some gems from Wellington take part! On the show as well was Angela Bloomfield who you may know as Rachel McKenna from Shortland Street. She has changed careers to become a real estate agent! So we talked to her about that. Enjoy!
Hello you wonderful New Zealanders! Jono's son Oscar discovered a very easy way to wag online class and we got into a discussion about our times' wagging school... and getting caught. Whoops. We also wanted to hear about your pregnancy cravings; we had some bizaaaaaare foods come through! Finally, we chatted to Dr Michelle Dickinson (Nanogirl) for some advice around mask-wearing and all that good stuff!
Kia Ora! On today's show we heard about some of your funeral faux pas stories. This came after a woman had officially been declared dead, but at the funeral home they found her to still be alive! Jono also shared a story about how his wife got offended by an observation he made about her clothing. We also talked to Silver Fern Laura Langman who has now retired, and we caught up with Judith Collins.
Our favourite game is BAAAAAAACK! Reception Reception! Jono left a message for Ben at a random reception, and Ben had to retrieve it, with no idea what that message is. Today, Jono pretended to be a signwriter, and Ben is a local MP. But what exactly does Ben want on his signs? We also issued a challenge to our Producer Humphrey to try and get a sibling of a star on the show. Yeah, because the siblings are so overlooked! And MY GOLLY HE DELIVERED. Happy Thursdeeeee!
On today's episode, Ben shared a story about how yesterday he tried to save a baby duckling. But his heroic moment didn't go as planned! Also, we caught up with Ben's mum Jenni and discussed whether we need to make more of our Jono & Ben facemasks (if you have any ideas on what we could put on some new ones, message us on Facebook or Insta @TheHitsBreakfast). Finally, we brought something that was initially tossed to the show rubbish bin. But we wanted to give it a chance. It's called PUNDERSTRUCK! And it may just be the greatest (or worst) thing you'll hear all week.
Kia ora! After publicly slandering the New Zealand Broadcasting School for not asking him to be in one of their commercials, Jono had to swallow his pride and make an apology to them for getting the wrong end of the stick. We also played the News Jargon game, where today Jono had to call a cafe and drop as many topical words in the convo as he could - like Seymour, Party, Polling, Ardern etc. He creatively got them all in there! Finally, we wanted to know the greatest celeb merch that you own. Ben acquired Justin Bieber's water bottle when he was once here so we threw it out there to see what you guys had!
Mondeeeeeee how are ya! Our country has really expanded its vocabulary since Covid hit; Cluster... community transmission... outbreak... the list goes on! So Ben called a cafe and tried to book a table, but the challenge was he had to drop as many of those topical jargon words into the convo as possible. Jono also explained how he was caught on his daughters Zoom call in a very vulnerable scenario! Finally, we learnt about your side hustles, and we also caught up with Dr. Siouxsie Wiles - the wonderful microbiologist who talked us through the current stages of Covid. Enjoy!
Ben lets slip that he has paid his kids hush money so they'll keep quiet about Ben accidentally damaging his wife's plants, so we ask what were you paid to do as a kid?! We also look back at the worst moments of the week, including when Jono compares the Pitch Perfect cup song to Ben making love! We also catch up with Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and put to her a question from Ben's daughter Sienna. Have a great weekend!
On the show today, Jono revealed how often he washes his towel and we asked you to weigh in on whether he uses it too much before washing it. Also, Jono has managed to get Skinny on board to sponsor the show - but they're only sponsoring Jono - not Ben! Ben's not happy about it and calls the big boss from Skinny to find out if he can get on board. We also catch up with Kiwi actor James Rolleston and someone who has been abducted by aliens! Finally, Reception, Reception is back - and this week it's funnier than ever! Enjoy.
Kia Ora whanau! On today’s podcast, Jono had a bone to pick with Ben because he got asked to do something special that Jono didn’t get to do. On the flip side of that, Jono gets the pride and joy of being sponsored by Skinny, while Ben doesn’t! We also wanted to hear about the skills that YouTube has taught you. Enjoy!
Ben's in the dog box because he broke something that his wife LOVES... Jono also managed to get our show a sponsor, WOOHOO! But there was a catch and Ben wasn't happy! Finally, producer Juliet spends way too much time on her phone and we wanted to see if anyone's screentime was longer than hers. Turns out there are other people more obsessed with their phone than she is! Enjoy!
Jono had the most awkward situation at a supermarket carpark and he was just trying to be a good human being. But it backfired. Classic. We also made listeners join us in making a wonderfully topical parody song about being back in level 2 & 3. Finally, Ben taught us a bunch of bizarre things that occurred during the filming of The Wizard Of Oz in 1939. Enjoy!
We chatted to the Wizard from Christchurch because apparently he's retiring?! We also had Mitch James on the show and turned his song 21 into a little COVID parody. Finally, we reviewed Jono's worst moments of the week. Happy Friday, stay safe and stay classy Aotearoa!
Howdy! Today we played Reception Reception, which is everyone's favourite game minus Ben's. We also reflected on an absolute shocker we had on the show yesterday where we CONSTANTLY kept referring to Grant Robertson as the deputy Labour leader... Until he called us out for it when we interviewed him. WHOOPS! Finally, social media star William Waiirua & our political correspondent $20 Karen joined us. Enjoy!
After the news of the COVID community transmission in NZ, Jono had a bit of a shambles getting ready this morning, and Producer Ben slept through ALL THE NEWS last night. We also talked to Michelle Dickinson AKA Nanogirl and Finance Minister Grant Robertson about the new COVID cases, and finally, Paul Henry joined us on the phone to talk about his experience in hotel isolation. What a big day! Enjoy the podcast, please follow the government rules and stay safe people!
We played a game where we call random people and quiz them for a prize, they're often confused and flustered but always seem to go along with it, and today we called Nicole Kidman! (may not be the real Nicole Kidman). We also wanted to know the funny little white lies you told your kids when they were younger... like when Mr Whippy's music is playing it means that he's run out of ice cream 😉Finally, we called Mike Hosking and he's ready for his car to be returned... but we've got a couple more things we want to do with it!
Ben's a cheater... When it comes to escape rooms. And he fooled all his friends into thinking he was a genius! We also wanted to know what the best thing to buy for under $20 is. And finally, we spoke to the man who bought the Kelly Tarltons Shark bus for $31,500... Have a great day!
We pulled a bit of a prank on Ben with Hoskings car because he's been stressing about getting scratches on it, or ruining it in some way or another... And Jono took this opportunity for a good old fashioned prank. We also had Aunty Cindy on the phone and made her compliment some of the other MPs. Finally, an absolute highlight was reflecting on Jono's lowest moments of the week. Happy Friday!
Ben's least favourite game is back - Reception Reception! This is where Jono leaves an embarrassing message for Ben to see if they'll pass it onto Ben when he calls back. Also we've annoyed another Newstalk ZB host (not Mike Hosking this time) and she came in studio and confronted us. Whoopsies! And what place have you been banned from? Jono told the tale of when he was banned from Whitcoulls as a kid. Claaaaaaasic Jono.
Ben's wife dropped a bombshell on him and of course Jono managed to turn it dirty... We also had a wonderful family friendly explanation from Jono about how people breed sheep. We also called Dargaville for the A-Z of New Zealand and chatted to a lovely man from the Dargaville Motel. Happy hump day ladies & gents, enjoy the poddy!
On today's podcast we talked to our mate Michael Batty who managed to get a partial refund for his tickets after Elton John couldn't finish his performance earlier this year. It was a 6-month battle, but he got the refund! Was it worth it? Who knows. We also played Synchronised Answering and we HAD A WIN!! An unlikely one too! Finally, we caught up with the reporter that broke the story that's going on with Ellen Degeneres and her show. Enjoy!
Jono went out on Friday night, which is a shock in itself because he's basically a hermit crab, but an awkward situation occurred when he accidentally walked into the women's bathrooms... Ben also wanted to debate whether taking an open bottle of wine to someones house is ok! We also had our political reporter $20 Karen on and she received some advice from professional political reporter Barry Soper. Finally, Jono took Mike Hosking's car drag racing yesterday and gave us all the highlights!
On the podcast today we chatted to National leader Judith Collins and she had some exclusive dirt on the Greens!! We were also joined by Stan Walker who has a new single out today called Bigger, but we had a bit of fun making him watch his Australian Idol audition. He may hate us after that! We've had a bit more fun with Mike Hosking's car too, he gave us the keys (WTF, he must trust us), and now we can do what we like to it! Feel free to send us your suggestions. Happy Friday and enjoy the poddy!
Mooooorning! Or afternoon or evening... whenever you're listening. So we towed Mike Hosking's car yesterday and then realised we don't have a set of keys to use his car... whoops. We called him and verrryyyy politely asked if he could give them to us. Fair to say if he didn't think we were idiots before, he does now. Reception reception made a comeback and we called a lovely lady whose name also happens to be Lovely! Finally, what was your "uh oh..." moment? If you missed yesterday's podcast, comedian Paul Ego told a hilarious story about how he accidentally swallowed a dental instrument. That was his biggest "uh oh" moment and we had some bloody great callers who shared theirs too. Happy Thursdeeeee!
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 how to play guitar!
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 story of how loyal (or maybe not) Ben was after their car broke down on the side of the road.
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!
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 correspondent! We also played Reception Reception where Jono called up a receptionist and left an embarrassing message about Ben for her to pass on. Have a wonderful day!
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!
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.
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!
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!
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 receptionist pass the message onto Ben when he phones back? Happy Thursdee!
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!
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 of course nobody other than the Briscoes lady would know the correct way! Enjoy.
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 finger was bitten) to see what they're up to now. Enjoy Monday's podcast!
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 place so we threw it out there to see the strangest place our listeners had fallen asleep, and there were some beauties!
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 doesn't use the internet, and in the meantime, we chatted to the man behind "What day is Father's Day? Sunday!". Enjoy!
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 talked to someone whose mum has been married TWELVE TIMES! Enjoy the show!
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!
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!
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 we could get anyone on who had been bitten by either a snake, shark or croc and we had some good stories. All that & more on today's podcast!
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 stuff! Enjoy the podcast.
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 little accident on a train... Happy Wednesday!
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!
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!
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!
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.
Hello Podcasters! On today's episode we head to Bluff for The A to Z of New Zealand - Every day we call a different town/city across the country and we're only up to B... But we chat to the Green Wizard to hear about some of the amazing things Bluff has to offer! Jono also has a terrible answerphone that we need him to change, and we chat to someone who has spent the last 2 weeks in hotel quarantine after landing back in the country. ENJOY!
On today's podcast, we discuss the ICONIC (aka very simple) "dad" meals that our dads are known for cooking when mum's away, we play Reception Reception - if Jono phones up a random reception and tries to leave a message for Ben, will that receptionist pass it on? And Ben's daughter threw him in it at a restaurant... Nothing quite like your kids embarrassing you in public #lordhelpus

Jeff Lowe with wife Lauren, joined The Hits Jono and Ben on air to talk about the viral docu-series and everything we didn't get to see behind the scenes.
As well as giving an update on how the big cats are doing they cleared up the bizarre internet rumours that Jeff is actually Carole Baskin's ex-husband and if he in fact tampered with Joe Exotic's shoes which led to a vicious Tiger attack.

This is mildly amusing banter at its mild amusing best!
We’re Jono Pryor and Ben Boyce, two best mates who started their work marriage a decade ago in a quest to become a hotter kiwi duo than a mince and cheese in a scalding service station pie!
While we aren't there yet, you can catch us weekdays on The Hits breakfast to talk about our life misadventures, big interviews, fun games and plenty of LOLs. OK, we can’t promise LOLs but hopefully, you stopped reading after we said LOLs the first time.
