April 27 - Ben's Drunk Six60 Concert Recap

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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

April 23 - What Would Siri Say If She Was ACTUALLY Honest To You?

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!

April 22 - Jono's Parents Are Radio Award Nominees!

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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

April 21 - Ben Already Has The Design Of His Coffin Sorted...

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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

April 20 - We Begin The Biggest Game Of Musical Chairs At Eden Park!

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...)

April 19 - Our Producer Is Having His First Baby!

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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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!

April 15 - Ben's Stitch Up On Jono In Christchurch Backfired!

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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

April 14 - Ben Haaaates Being Called ONE Particular Name

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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

April 12 - Our UK Correspondent Nearly Knocked The Queen Out!

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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

April 09 - Jono Embarrassed Himself On A Facebook Livestream... #CrotchCam

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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

April 08 - A Listener Worked With Kanye West For Over A Year... She DISHED THE DIRT To Us!

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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

April 07 - Would You Allow Your Mother-In-Law In The Birthing Suite!?

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! 😂See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

April 06 - Jono Went Down Another Internet Wormhole...

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!)

March 31 - We Cross To Matakana's Kate Hawkesby

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... 😂😂See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

March 30 - The Sexiest Bald Broadcasters... According To Jono

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...

March 26 - Coming To You From The Mighty Tron!

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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

March 24 - Jacinda Ardern Joins Us!

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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

March 23 - Don't Ever Wish To Sit Next To Jono On A Plane...

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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

March 22 - Ben Got His Credit Card Maxed Out By Six60 After A Cheeky Stitch Up From Jono!

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!

March 19 - WE PRANKED BEN GOOOOOD!

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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

March 18 - We Pranked Someone Into Thinking They We're Doing A Live Sports Report!

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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

March 17 - We Played Connect 4 With Emirates Team New Zealand!

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!!!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

March 16 - Should You GPS Track Your Partner?

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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

March 15 - How Many Times Can Jono Lock Himself Out Of A Hotel Room?

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?

March 12 - What Is The PUNNIEST Business Name?

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 weekendSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

March 11 - Oprah Interviewed Our Colleague, Mike Puru!

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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

March 10 - We Chat To Karen Walker & Jazz Thornton!

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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

March 09 - A Harry & Meghan BONANZA

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!

March 08 - It's The Day We Celebrate The Incredible Wahine In Our Lives!

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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

March 05 - Jono Is Self-Centred AF!

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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

March 04 - What Is The Quickest Time You've Gone From Meeting Someone, To Moving In With Them?

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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

March 03 - Can You Steal A Friends Baby Name?

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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

March 02 - Has A Celebrity Ever Stared You In The eyes?

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.

March 01 - Can We Handle HOT HOT CHILLIES?

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...!

February 26 - Stories Of Survival

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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

February 25 - Mums Are Joining Only Fans!

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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

February 22 - If You Named Your Baby After The Place You Met Your Partner, What Would Their Name Be?

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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

February 19 - A Listener Of Ours Hasn't Drank Water In 35 YEARS!

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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

February 17 - Ben Wants To Regift Something He Got Something For Free...

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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

February 16 - Jono Is Now A Philanthropist, Apparently

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.

February 15 - Ben Messed Up Big Time On Valentine's Day...

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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

February 12 - Was Ben Caught At Calendar Girls!?

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!)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
