July 21 - Delta Goodrem, The A To Z Of New Zealand, Are Our Phones Listening To Us?
We were joined by the lovely Delta Goodrem and played a goooood old fashioned Jono & Ben prank on her. We also chatted about how as a parent you are basically an unpaid personal assistant... And, do you have your tomato sauce on top of your fries or on the side? Even Nadia Lim weighed in! Enjoy today's podcast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
July 20 - Ben's iPhone On Shuffle, Big News Small Town, The A To Z Of New Zealand
Kia Ora! On today's show, we discussed alternative uses for products after one man used Marmite instead of glue as a binder... Bizzare, but we had some goodies come through! Ben also shared some of the embarrassing songs on his phone that came on shuffle at a dinner party. Also, we talked to some people who were named after brands or famous people. Happy Monday!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
July 17 - Anne-Marie, The A To Z Of New Zealand, What Have You Not Done In A Very Long Time?
Happy Friday friends! Jono brought back three way calling (does anyone remember that!?) and tested it out on Ben's wife Amanda... HILARIOUS. We also got to chat with singer Anne Marie as well as NZ Olympian Valerie Adams. And Ben's daughters proved they are the future of journalism - he played some adorable audio of them doing the news. Enjoy!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
July 16 - Urzila Carlson, Reception Reception, Have You Gone Viral?
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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
July 15 - Judith Collins, The A To Z Of New Zealand, Ben Gifted His Wife A Frying Pan
Hey mates! Today we spoke to Judith Collins, the new leader of the National Party, as well as JAWSH 685 who collaborated with Jason Derulo on Savage Love which is topping the UK charts! Finally, we talked bizarre birth stories and Carol-Anne went into a loooot of detail about her birth!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
July 14 - SOL3 MIO, The Referendumb, The A To Z Of New Zealand
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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
July 13 - Tom Sainsbury, Ben's Duets, The A To Z Of New Zealand
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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
July 10 - The A To Z Of New Zealand, $20 Karen, Where Have You Fallen Asleep?
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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
July 09 - Reception Reception, Jingle Bells, What Did Your Kids Ruin In A Shop?
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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
July 08 - Don't Call Us We'll Call You, The A To Z Of New Zealand, Have You Been Scammed?
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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
July 07 - The Referendumb, Parent Purchases You Regret, The A To Z Of New Zealand
Hey podcasters! On today's episode, Ben shared a story about how he got himself in trouble with his wife because of a secret that involved the babysitter... Jono also provides a hack or two on how to get out of parking tickets #NAUGHTY! Finally, we chatted to a dad who's been in quarantine in a hotel with his two kids... and he hasn't gone crazy (yet)! All that and more, happy days!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
July 06 - PM Jacinda Ardern, Jono & Ben's Bite Club, The Oldest Person To Jump Off The Harbour Bridge
On today's podcast we chatted to Jacinda Ardern and she dictated the length of our interview... Because she could stop the interview as soon as we asked her a question that she's been asked before! Jono also surprised Ben with a very strange item from his childhood. Finally, we chatted to Dorothy Pattison - the oldest woman (at age 91) to jump off Auckland's Harbour Bridge! Happy Monday folks!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
July 03 - Pledge For Plunket 2020
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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
July 02 - Reception Reception, Messaging The Wrong Person, Producer Juliet Is Parking Illegally At Work!
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.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
July 01 - Michael Galvin, The A To Z Of New Zealand, What's The Most Pedantic Thing You Do?
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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
June 30 - Nano Girl, The A To Z Of New Zealand, We Gave Away $5000 Today!!!
We continue phoning every town and city in NZ with our 'A to Z' and today we called Bulls, AKA Ben's favourite town because it's full of puns. Also, after Ben took home Jono's Alexa, Jono got Alexa to reveal all the questions Ben had asked it (#stitchup). Finally, we had Paula Bennett on after she announced her retirement. What a funny lady she is. Enjoy!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
June 29 - The A To Z Of New Zealand, Ben's Duets, Have You Worked For A Famous Person?
Happy Monday! On today's podcast we call Broadwood (or so we think) for our A-Z of New Zealand and end up chatting to some absolute Kiwi characters. We also wrote a parody song about David Clark's recent controversial antics. Also Ben had a humbling experience at the courier when he saw their #HallOfFame! Enjoy ladies & gents!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
June 26 - Your Haircut Horror Stories, The A To Z Of New Zealand, What Mum-Ribilia Has Your Mum Kept?
Jono had a bit of a haircut horror (yes you're thinking correctly, how can he when he's bald?!), we also talked about Mum-ribilia: the things of yours that your mum refuses to throw out. Not only that, but we also got the cast of Harry Potter on, in a very special way! Enjoy the poddy & enjoy the weekend!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
June 25 - Jono Was Trapped In The Bathroom, The A To Z Of New Zealand, Six60's Chris Mac
On today's episode, Jono introduced an alarm clock that you should have... Awfully inspirational... Until it took a turn! We also wondered whether artists get annoyed when radio hosts like us talk all over the intros of their songs, so we called Chris Mac from Six60 to see. Jono also got trapped in a bathroom but he deserved it! All that and more, ENJOY.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
June 24 - The A To Z Of New Zealand, Jono's Voicemail Message, What Did You Flood?
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!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
June 23 - Reception Reception, Drip Dry Or Hand Dry, How Many Showers Do You Have A Day?
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 #lordhelpusSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
