- 0:09Speaker 2: for the podcast yesterday because we had to rush off
- 0:12Speaker 2: to the week Bex Kids strath One.

- 0:18Speaker 2: Just what is this? What is some listening to you?
- 0:20Speaker 2: Even though I've selected it on wherever I get my
- 0:22Speaker 2: podcasts and anyway, very confusing. Start, I get it. That's
- 0:25Speaker 2: on us. It's one of those days. But apparently we've
- 0:28Speaker 2: just heard that there was an intro provided by lovely
- 0:31Speaker 2: producers Grace Ellie. They came on and they did an
- 0:35Speaker 2: intro and I think they mocked us.
- 0:37Speaker 3: Apparently did you mock us? Hellly? No, Okay, we'll take
- 0:40Speaker 3: you back to this podcast intro twenty four hours earlier.
- 0:43Speaker 5: Hello, welcome to the podcast. Hello, Oh my name is

- 0:55Speaker 3: You didn't commit to the role.
- 0:57Speaker 7: No, no, I really begged up quite quickly.
- 1:01Speaker 2: Do the same thing that I do, because I'm no
- 1:02Speaker 2: good at impressions. So you have to say the persons.
- 1:04Speaker 2: It's me John, you know, it's been You have to
- 1:07Speaker 2: say the names, and people go, oh, that's who they're

- 1:10Speaker 3: Notice No Megan impersonation.
- 1:12Speaker 2: We don't.
- 1:13Speaker 6: We don't even mock Meghan. I thought that was quite accurate.

- 1:20Speaker 2: Johnny comes in and it's me John.
- 1:27Speaker 7: Has been a said hello, hello, hello.
- 1:29Speaker 3: Oh yeah, probably yeah, that sounded a lot like me,
- 1:31Speaker 3: to be honest, chameleon and voices.
- 1:35Speaker 2: Yeah, very good. Well, yeah, we go what's the real arsole?
- 1:38Speaker 2: Is it? It's me who said that? We'll never know,
- 1:41Speaker 2: but enjoy the podcast. Now, the Mariah Carey game that
- 1:44Speaker 2: we've been playing. You've been playing along with us, so
- 1:46Speaker 2: many people texting and calling about it. It's simple to play.
- 1:51Speaker 2: You can start now, that's fine. Just try and avoid
- 1:53Speaker 2: for as long as possible hearing Mariah Carey's all I
- 1:56Speaker 2: want for Christmas as soon as you hear it. And
- 1:58Speaker 2: a shop and a store and the supermarket, social media,
- 2:02Speaker 2: wherever are you out of the game now?
- 2:04Speaker 3: Hi, Drama has hit the game over the last forty
- 2:07Speaker 3: eight hours, where the hits they are a proud partner
- 2:10Speaker 3: of the Santa Parade. We all go on there, we
- 2:12Speaker 3: smile and wave, kiss babies, and we stand on a float. Now,
- 2:16Speaker 3: every year, the float's got a song that plays on
- 2:18Speaker 3: loop drives you to the point of insanity. And previously
- 2:21Speaker 3: it has been all I Want for Christmas.
- 2:23Speaker 2: I've had that one. Yeah, yeah, me it was a
- 2:25Speaker 2: jingle bar Ro I think rock last year.
- 2:27Speaker 3: Yeah, and what did you discover just days ago.
- 2:29Speaker 8: That the song was going to be Mariah Carey All
- 2:32Speaker 8: I Want for Christmas.
- 2:33Speaker 3: It's the situation we were in.
- 2:35Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it puts us out of the game, Meaga
- 2:36Speaker 2: and puts you, me, Maddie and anyone playing the game
- 2:39Speaker 2: in the office and along the Sanda Parade, the Farmer's
- 2:42Speaker 2: Santa Parade. Anyone there listening, well, they're what about it?
- 2:45Speaker 2: The other game by us?
- 2:46Speaker 8: We knew that was going to be a high risk
- 2:48Speaker 8: situation going to the Christmas Parade. We might hear it there,
- 2:52Speaker 8: but we didn't expect it to be our float. Like
- 2:54Speaker 8: definitely all of us out plus playing it to everyone
- 2:56Speaker 8: who was going to be playing the game as well.
- 2:58Speaker 3: Tell you what, Seymour, with your bloody treaty principles, Bill,
- 3:02Speaker 3: you step aside, mate, there's a new nationwide drama.
- 3:05Speaker 2: Don't compare this.
- 3:07Speaker 3: He always decided to turn around and go back to
- 3:09Speaker 3: over the I've just had the message.
- 3:11Speaker 2: No, I don't even that even the same sentence.
- 3:15Speaker 3: It's high drama, though, and we're trying to find a solution.
- 3:17Speaker 2: It's not high drama compared to that. That's nothing lower
- 3:20Speaker 2: drama competed to the drama compared to that.
- 3:24Speaker 3: And now will is drama okay, And we tried to
- 3:27Speaker 3: find solutions to this yesterday.
- 3:29Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, I reckon that you should just play the
- 3:33Speaker 9: instrumental version on the float and then the dancers can just.
- 3:37Speaker 2: Start to that thought.
- 3:40Speaker 10: The dancers have learnt the song. Yeah, so put their
- 3:44Speaker 10: headphones on, you get them playing the song, and you
- 3:48Speaker 10: blast what music you want out of the out of the.
- 3:52Speaker 3: Sounds like a huge budget costs for head.
- 3:56Speaker 8: I think these guys just exclude someday out of it
- 3:58Speaker 8: all together.
- 3:59Speaker 3: So he has a great solutions yesterday. Now we have
- 4:02Speaker 3: management on the phone because.
- 4:03Speaker 2: Part of the problem we needed a sorry say that
- 4:05Speaker 2: the front is because we couldn't change the song we
- 4:07Speaker 2: were told because there's dancers dancing around.
- 4:09Speaker 8: The float choreographed to dance to that song.
- 4:11Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:12Speaker 3: Now, Matt Anderson from The Horse full name Matthew Anderson, Welcome,
- 4:17Speaker 3: How are.
- 4:17Speaker 4: You good morning, Johnathan Richard Pryor, I'm good, how.
- 4:20Speaker 3: Are you hi? Drama they're talking.
- 4:24Speaker 2: Please make me feel very uncomfortable.
- 4:26Speaker 3: I like making you feel uncomfortable.
- 4:28Speaker 2: Job, same sentences.
- 4:29Speaker 3: That. That's why I come to work every day, to
- 4:31Speaker 3: make them feel uncomfortable. But Matt, where are we at
- 4:34Speaker 3: with us?
- 4:35Speaker 1: Well?
- 4:35Speaker 4: Yes, let's have taken up in an ordinary amount of
- 4:38Speaker 4: time over the last hours. But honestly, I just want
- 4:41Speaker 4: to say, you guys going to the Center parade on
- 4:43Speaker 4: Sunday and expecting not to hear Mariah Carey as like
- 4:47Speaker 4: someone fasting wandering into a buffet, it's not going to be.
- 4:49Speaker 7: Well, nossibility, we won't.
- 4:53Speaker 8: Yeah, you're just putting the song on the float blows
- 4:56Speaker 8: us all out.
- 4:57Speaker 7: Definitely.
- 4:59Speaker 4: Again, as I say, it's just taken up an absolutely
- 5:02Speaker 4: anordinate amount of time. Well then, okay, I just thought
- 5:08Speaker 4: I'm trying to do we are this is something that
- 5:11Speaker 4: obviously has read It's here. Months and months of planning
- 5:14Speaker 4: goes into this. There is dancing co ordination, there are
- 5:17Speaker 4: changes between all of the floats, but obviously, as you know,
- 5:22Speaker 4: the rest of our promotions three the best in the
- 5:23Speaker 4: business here and I have cleared our entire calendar today
- 5:27Speaker 4: to ensure that by end of business there will be
- 5:31Speaker 4: a solution delivered to everyone.
- 5:33Speaker 3: All I want for Christmas is a fair and reasonable
- 5:35Speaker 3: outcome for this drama. Now, can we put something a
- 5:39Speaker 3: change of song, a change of song with the same
- 5:42Speaker 3: beats permanent so it doesn't affect the dancers sets?
- 5:44Speaker 7: Yeah, we did, We did come with a solution.
- 5:48Speaker 4: What song would that be?
- 5:50Speaker 7: Original? Sort of?
- 5:51Speaker 2: Oh no, we can't play no, no, no, we can't
- 5:54Speaker 2: do my version.
- 5:56Speaker 3: You don't want your version cover?
- 5:58Speaker 7: I yess you call it?
- 5:59Speaker 3: Yeah, your version's the best version, Ben.
- 6:03Speaker 2: This could play. We don't want a lot. That's an option,
- 6:12Speaker 2: but there might be some other songs that are beare options. Man,
- 6:15Speaker 2: I'm not a musical person.
- 6:16Speaker 4: Clearly, as I say, we will spend the entire day weeks.
- 6:19Speaker 4: But I can immediately say that I am not comfortable
- 6:22Speaker 4: subjecting one hundred thousand people to.
- 6:26Speaker 2: Neither of mind Matte, to be honest with you, well,
- 6:29Speaker 2: hopefully Chatt, you tomorrow the calendar that some sort of outcome.
- 6:33Speaker 4: All right, calendar is clear guys. By the end of day,
- 6:36Speaker 4: we will have a solution.
- 6:37Speaker 1: Great away from that one the heads that jonaan Ben podcast.
- 6:41Speaker 2: Megan, you wanted to chat about something that will sit
- 6:43Speaker 2: you used through.
- 6:44Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 6:44Speaker 8: So I'm a real risk of sounding like a jerk
- 6:47Speaker 8: here and it's really not my intention. So I had
- 6:51Speaker 8: mentioned this before to producer Alie that whenever we go
- 6:55Speaker 8: out to some kind of work thing where they might
- 6:58Speaker 8: be listeners there, always get this comment, and I did
- 7:01Speaker 8: get it yesterday when we were out for the weep
- 7:03Speaker 8: ex trasform. And it's mint with the best intentions. I
- 7:06Speaker 8: know it is because they're always smiling when they say
- 7:08Speaker 8: to me. But I'm interested to see whe you think.
- 7:11Speaker 8: This is kind of a backhanded compliment. So every time
- 7:15Speaker 8: I go out, I get the comment, oh, you're so
- 7:19Speaker 8: much prettier in real life.
- 7:24Speaker 3: Well, I guess the radio they can't see, yeah, and
- 7:33Speaker 3: ugly people are on the radio in real life.
- 7:35Speaker 8: Would seeing me before on something like maybet of our
- 7:40Speaker 8: social media video or something like that. But I'm kind
- 7:42Speaker 8: of like taken back by every time I've seen you before,
- 7:47Speaker 8: you're well.
- 7:51Speaker 2: They thought you were ugly, and social media you've taken
- 7:54Speaker 2: it that way. But they could say, hey, Megan's pretty,
- 7:56Speaker 2: but in real life even more pretty. Producer, really you.
- 8:01Speaker 7: Need a girl, because Alie, you did cringe.
- 8:04Speaker 3: I did.
- 8:05Speaker 5: And I've had it myself too because people see me
- 8:08Speaker 5: on the internet and then we'll say things like that.
- 8:09Speaker 5: And again I know people mean, well, I really do know.
- 8:12Speaker 6: That's yeah.
- 8:12Speaker 7: It was mean and the biggest intention.
- 8:14Speaker 5: But it is a little bit backhanded, like I'd rather
- 8:17Speaker 5: just you're really pretty full stop there.
- 8:21Speaker 3: Better than hey glass half feel better than you're uglier
- 8:24Speaker 3: than in real life. It's a win, but.
- 8:28Speaker 7: It's always in real life.
- 8:31Speaker 6: Yeah, real life is different.
- 8:34Speaker 3: They can see all your dimensions.
- 8:35Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe you seeking with someone, Yeah, something pops into
- 8:41Speaker 2: your head you so you blurred it out and sometimes
- 8:43Speaker 2: you walk away and you're like, oh, that probably didn't.
- 8:45Speaker 2: It wasn't intended to be.
- 8:46Speaker 7: Like that, but it always puts me. I don't know
- 8:48Speaker 7: what to say to that. I'm always like, oh, well.
- 8:52Speaker 3: If you want to make yourself feel bitter, I've hunted
- 8:54Speaker 3: out from the archives wonderful piece of audio when a
- 8:57Speaker 3: fan ran into us. Okay, this will make you feel
- 9:00Speaker 3: better about that.
- 9:01Speaker 2: That's right. This was the two of us, wasn't it.
- 9:03Speaker 2: I love your mate. Hey, you look old now, so
- 9:19Speaker 2: maybe that was we were No, yeah, I was before.
- 9:26Speaker 2: We look great now. No, I can't. I can't quite
- 9:29Speaker 2: spend that.
- 9:29Speaker 7: But anyway, ask if it was something you always get
- 9:31Speaker 7: like are you sure? Or are you tall?
- 9:33Speaker 2: Or you look old? Now's never get out rights the
- 9:38Speaker 2: Jonan Ben podcast. Yesterday we went along to the week
- 9:41Speaker 2: Books Keep the Kids Triathon, which is so much fun.
- 9:45Speaker 2: It's awesome to be part of it, and so many
- 9:47Speaker 2: kids around the country have taken part over thirty three years,
- 9:49Speaker 2: almost half a million kids over the years, which is incredible.
- 9:53Speaker 2: Such a sense of achievement when they cross the finish line.
- 9:55Speaker 3: Did you notice too, the because we were in seeing
- 9:59Speaker 3: Megan and you noticed that. So the kids, they'll get
- 10:01Speaker 3: you to come sign my shirt, sign my.
- 10:04Speaker 8: Crocs, sign my middlesh and honestly, and I'm not saying
- 10:10Speaker 8: this is a joke.
- 10:11Speaker 3: I reckon they'll get home and eighty percent of those
- 10:13Speaker 3: kids would have had no idea who scribbled with a
- 10:16Speaker 3: permanent marker on thee Else is yeah, get caught up
- 10:19Speaker 3: at the moment I signed a couple of four heads,
- 10:22Speaker 3: sign a couple of four I was against my bit
- 10:25Speaker 3: of judgment as a parent, I was like, I shouldn't
- 10:27Speaker 3: do this and do it. They would have got home like,
- 10:30Speaker 3: who's scribbled on your forehead with a villa and they
- 10:32Speaker 3: wouldn't have even been able to name the name. I
- 10:35Speaker 3: wouldn't have thought.
- 10:36Speaker 8: I Actually I signed someone's shoes as well. I was like, Oh,
- 10:39Speaker 8: your parents are going to come back.
- 10:40Speaker 2: That's what you do as a kid.
- 10:41Speaker 3: They get swept up, they get swept up and signing kids.
- 10:45Speaker 1: You know.
- 10:45Speaker 8: The one moment that got to me yesterday, I think
- 10:47Speaker 8: you guys were there at the finish line and when
- 10:49Speaker 8: one girl crossed over the finish line and her mum
- 10:51Speaker 8: just swept her up in a cuddle and.
- 10:53Speaker 7: She was like, I'm so proud of you.
- 10:55Speaker 6: I'm so proud of you.
- 10:56Speaker 7: I was like, Oh, when your parents say that, you're
- 10:58Speaker 7: like that was awesome.
- 11:00Speaker 2: It was awesome to see, and it was awesome to host.
- 11:02Speaker 2: We did some bits throughout the day and there at
- 11:04Speaker 2: the end to it, there's a bit of a price kipping.
- 11:06Speaker 2: There's some all surprises that everyone hangs around for and
- 11:10Speaker 2: you had to whip off for another appointment because it
- 11:11Speaker 2: was running a little bit late. Megan and so the
- 11:13Speaker 2: two of us. You're like, you guys can handle it. Well, yeah,
- 11:15Speaker 2: of course we've done this before many times. We can
- 11:17Speaker 2: handle this, but maybe we couldn't.
- 11:20Speaker 7: Maybe you could.
- 11:21Speaker 2: Maybe we couldn't handle it because we lost the room.
- 11:24Speaker 2: You start reading out the numbers, the BIB numbers, the
- 11:27Speaker 2: winning numbers of who's going to get, say a bike
- 11:29Speaker 2: from Evo Cycles, and you're like, okay, the first numbers
- 11:32Speaker 2: are sex. Everyone's like yeah, because we've all got sex,
- 11:34Speaker 2: and they all stand up and then they sit down
- 11:36Speaker 2: when they don't obviously hear their number. They're like sex three.
- 11:40Speaker 2: We start to lose people, and as they start to
- 11:42Speaker 2: lose kids, they've grown on.
- 11:44Speaker 3: Mass don't make you beat.
- 11:48Speaker 2: We're disappointing. So yeah, really we shouldn't do it like
- 11:50Speaker 2: that because you think about all the thousands of people.
- 11:52Speaker 2: Now only one's going to be happy.
- 11:54Speaker 7: One's happy, the rest are extremely disported.
- 11:57Speaker 3: And then then once you call out the final number,
- 12:00Speaker 3: and if the person hasn't come forward to collect their bike, boy,
- 12:03Speaker 3: oh boy, they turn on you. The mob turn on you.
- 12:05Speaker 3: They start chanding raw right away and we're like no, no,
- 12:10Speaker 3: the winner's back and they've tuned up and then boom
- 12:14Speaker 3: en mass the mob. They turned fearal on us.
- 12:16Speaker 2: We've got boots.
- 12:18Speaker 7: Have you been by myself last year? No? Not one boot?
- 12:23Speaker 3: Honest, a humbling experience being booed by thousands of children.
- 12:27Speaker 3: I'm blaming social media for the impatience levels too. They're
- 12:30Speaker 3: courtly chining for a redraw within zero point five of
- 12:33Speaker 3: a second.
- 12:34Speaker 7: They can't swipe you away, that's right.
- 12:36Speaker 3: So yeah, we're in the family friendly era of our broadcasting.
- 12:40Speaker 2: Maybe not, it's gonna be nice, it's give me fine,
- 12:43Speaker 2: But they're wonderful events throughout the country and if you
- 12:45Speaker 2: sign up have you never done one before? They're incredible.
- 12:48Speaker 2: There's a whole lot happening in the new year as well,
- 12:50Speaker 2: so get all the details at that stock cod on
- 12:52Speaker 2: it after eight o'clock.
- 12:53Speaker 3: We're after eight o'clock, mate, don't you worry about that.
- 12:56Speaker 2: Well, I'm trying to say that so our boss doesn't
- 12:57Speaker 2: realize after eight o'clock is definitely not.
- 13:01Speaker 1: The John and Ben podcast.
- 13:03Speaker 2: Well, you know you have a bit of a beef
- 13:05Speaker 2: with the council giving your tickets all the time, John.
- 13:08Speaker 3: And they've got just a hit job on me.
- 13:10Speaker 2: To be honest, it's because you don't pay for parking.
- 13:12Speaker 2: But we keep telling you that and the.
- 13:13Speaker 7: Police you keep breaking the speed on it.
- 13:17Speaker 2: Yeah exactly. But there are people getting a bit annoyed
- 13:19Speaker 2: with the council in Auckland because they've been fined for
- 13:22Speaker 2: parking on their own driveway covering the footpath. Well yeah, yeah,
- 13:30Speaker 2: well within a meter either side of the driveway you
- 13:32Speaker 2: can't basically park. But sometimes on those tight streets people like,
- 13:36Speaker 2: we've got no other option inside our driveway.
- 13:40Speaker 3: So I understand, and money grubbing councils across the country,
- 13:45Speaker 3: not just Auckland, just looking to make a buck wherever
- 13:47Speaker 3: they can. Technically, yes, that's their land, isn't it, the
- 13:50Speaker 3: footpath and the driveway. Yeah, but you know what else
- 13:54Speaker 3: do you mean to do? Have You've got like yellow
- 13:57Speaker 3: lines on both the sides of your street, park.
- 14:00Speaker 2: Your car, parent of car, bat your car there. So yeah,
- 14:03Speaker 2: people getting a little bit upset that. Sometimes they feel
- 14:06Speaker 2: like we're not blocking anything, but we're still getting fined.
- 14:10Speaker 8: Well, they're blocking the foot path, aren't they.
- 14:11Speaker 2: Well yeah, I think it's debatable whether it is or
- 14:14Speaker 2: they're not. According to this people they're not.
- 14:15Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm actually hosting something for the Council on Sunday.
- 14:18Speaker 3: I'll ask some questions.
- 14:19Speaker 7: Are park on your berm?
- 14:21Speaker 1: No?
- 14:22Speaker 2: Probably not, probably not.
- 14:23Speaker 3: I guess, yeah, that's what that's always Sorkland is just
- 14:28Speaker 3: cars on swapper crates on birds. It's like the decoration
- 14:31Speaker 3: of the antiques of the West. Now, I think, potentially
- 14:34Speaker 3: I could be a really horrible person, and I want
- 14:37Speaker 3: to know if you would have done the same thing
- 14:38Speaker 3: in the situation. Okay, picture this at the petrol station
- 14:42Speaker 3: and I'm doing the at the pump because now you
- 14:45Speaker 3: just pay the pump.
- 14:46Speaker 2: It's wonderful.
- 14:47Speaker 3: Take me card, don't even have to go inside and
- 14:49Speaker 3: be bombarded with would you like some SCENTI bars?
- 14:52Speaker 2: So I'm glad you got onto it. Yeah, Like they
- 14:54Speaker 2: opened up the thing for me and I just paid
- 14:56Speaker 2: the pump. Yeah, the pump.
- 14:57Speaker 3: Yeah, it's pretty beautiful. Yeah, because there was a period
- 14:59Speaker 3: there be on the fore court and you know when
- 15:01Speaker 3: you're stuck the nozzle in your thing and they haven't
- 15:03Speaker 3: released then released the petrol because they don't trust you.
- 15:06Speaker 7: You'll not pre paid.
- 15:08Speaker 2: Yeah, pump, great invention.
- 15:09Speaker 3: Sometimes I put my hands down. Trustworthy guy. You know,
- 15:13Speaker 3: you're like the surrender.
- 15:14Speaker 7: They can see you and They're like no, it's.
- 15:16Speaker 2: Not fine for the council or the police. It's like,
- 15:18Speaker 2: what would they let.
- 15:19Speaker 3: This guy anyway? So inside though, I can see someone
- 15:23Speaker 3: that I knew, and I was like, I'm really late

- 31:52Speaker 2: This is a lot I know.
- 31:56Speaker 12: So when I met her, we couldn't really tell her

- 33:03Speaker 2: Yesterday we went along to the first of eleven week
- 33:06Speaker 2: Books triathlons for kids around the country. It's been going
- 33:09Speaker 2: for over thirty years and this year they'll have over
- 33:14Speaker 2: five half a million kids. Five hundred thousand kids would
- 33:17Speaker 2: have taken part over those thirty three years.
- 33:19Speaker 3: Did you do it?
- 33:20Speaker 7: No, I don't think it was that. I was at
- 33:23Speaker 7: school a while ago.
- 33:24Speaker 2: I mates that. Yeah, I feel like it was just
- 33:26Speaker 2: towards the end of our time as well. But it's
- 33:28Speaker 2: huge j and it's amazing to go along and see.
- 33:31Speaker 7: Also, I wasn't a big like running fan.
- 33:35Speaker 3: Running does suck, like, let's even I imagine professionally do
- 33:39Speaker 3: a bit of it though, and it sucks. I do
- 33:41Speaker 3: run and I hate every party. But then you're like
- 33:43Speaker 3: it's good for you, you know, right, But you never
- 33:45Speaker 3: know anyone looks like they' having a great time running.
- 33:47Speaker 7: We asked some of the kids yesterday, like, what's your
- 33:50Speaker 7: favorite part?
- 33:50Speaker 3: Is that?
- 33:51Speaker 7: The running, biking, all the swimming and heaps themselves running?
- 33:53Speaker 3: Yeah, And I was like really when I did the
- 33:56Speaker 3: treathon and I preferred the biking on the Penny Father,
- 33:58Speaker 3: I felt that was not ike ks on the Pinno.
- 34:01Speaker 2: But we went along there and we were hosting, you know,
- 34:04Speaker 2: mem seeing shouting stuff out over the microphone, which is great.
- 34:08Speaker 2: Then we went along to the finish line and it
- 34:09Speaker 2: was really cool to watch. They had some great ambassadors,
- 34:12Speaker 2: some black Ferns, Paralympians as well, Olympians giving across the
- 34:16Speaker 2: metal at the finish line, and there was something that
- 34:18Speaker 2: you you noticed that the hype people were doing well.
- 34:21Speaker 3: They were calling out the kids' names, weren't they and
- 34:24Speaker 3: the kids yeah, And it would really surprise the kids
- 34:27Speaker 3: to be like, well, don Nathaniel, you did it well?
- 34:30Speaker 3: You know high five and Nathaniel's yeah, Beckyard.
- 34:34Speaker 7: Every single time you're like, I go, how how do
- 34:36Speaker 7: you know? All these kids.
- 34:37Speaker 3: Making great hype people? And then they led us in
- 34:39Speaker 3: on a little secret that their names were in very
- 34:43Speaker 3: small font on their bibs, you know, with the numbers
- 34:46Speaker 3: the race number.
- 34:47Speaker 2: Yeah, tiny not for them.
- 34:50Speaker 7: Young eyes were like, but they're coming.
- 34:53Speaker 2: Over the finish line and they're running and they're slowing down.
- 34:55Speaker 2: You're trying to look at their name. But John, you
- 34:57Speaker 2: decided to do it, and I wanted to make the
- 34:59Speaker 2: kids feel special, But it made you look a bit
- 35:01Speaker 2: weird as you were sort of crouching down, leaning.
- 35:03Speaker 7: Crouch down. You're like leaning and squinting at them as
- 35:05Speaker 7: they're coming towards you. Like, you look weird.
- 35:08Speaker 2: I think I recorded to audio at the moment we're
- 35:10Speaker 2: here the weep Bigs Kids Triathlon, John O, you're looking
- 35:13Speaker 2: kind of weird. What's going on?
- 35:14Speaker 3: Well, you can freak the kids out, which is not
- 35:17Speaker 3: a great start to a sentence, is it. But you
- 35:18Speaker 3: can scare them because they've got their name them.
- 35:23Speaker 2: People are encouraging the kids when they get across.
- 35:25Speaker 3: The line and you can find their name on their
- 35:27Speaker 3: bid right, but it's written in tiny fond so what
- 35:30Speaker 3: you're up doing is squinting and steering at the abdomen
- 35:33Speaker 3: to try and get their name, and they look at
- 35:34Speaker 3: you very unusually.
- 35:35Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 35:36Speaker 2: I love the supporter squat. There so much support and
- 35:44Speaker 2: it's so heart warming to be part of this. It's
- 35:46Speaker 2: such an amazing event and the scene of achievement with
- 35:49Speaker 2: the kids cross the line. It's great up until when
- 35:51Speaker 2: John I bends down and tries to read their name
- 35:53Speaker 2: and that kind of wears them out.
- 35:55Speaker 3: Yeah. Sometimes you just catch the name as they passed you.
- 35:57Speaker 1: You're like.
- 36:00Speaker 3: This little girl turns around and she's like, thanks strange,
- 36:02Speaker 3: old Ben.
- 36:04Speaker 2: What I did to do it? One? Stage two was
- 36:05Speaker 2: like there was two people heading up. They had two
- 36:07Speaker 2: things of water, so there was water. They were the
- 36:09Speaker 2: first two people and you were standing behind them with
- 36:11Speaker 2: two things of water. I was like, well, I'm not
- 36:12Speaker 2: going to need sex classes of water back up waters
- 36:16Speaker 2: four yeah, yeah. And then Johnno was behind as well.
- 36:21Speaker 2: So there was two people at the front. They had water,
- 36:23Speaker 2: and then Johnno was behind them, and I was like, well,
- 36:25Speaker 2: John water.
- 36:27Speaker 3: Don't know when you run a Traythlon, one little cup
- 36:29Speaker 3: of water's not enough anyway, So no one wanted my water.
- 36:33Speaker 3: No one wanted to be calling the names out.
- 36:35Speaker 1: The heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
- 36:37Speaker 3: Take Kelly, no, excuse me prying into your private life.

- 36:47Speaker 3: want you to listen to this as well. Now we're
- 36:49Speaker 3: at an event use today and I got talking to
- 36:52Speaker 3: a lady and she's like, here's a story for your
- 36:54Speaker 3: radio shown and I was like, love it, feed it
- 36:58Speaker 3: to me. So she currently in the throes of reorganizing
- 37:04Speaker 3: her life. So she was getting married right all right
- 37:08Speaker 3: at the day of the wedding. Kelly still there, She's
- 37:11Speaker 3: into it. Day of the wedding. Day of the wedding,
- 37:15Speaker 3: someone walks in on her groom, her husband to be
- 37:22Speaker 3: with the head bridesmaid. Oh, in a passion passionate embrace.
- 37:32Speaker 2: All right, so supposed she was about married with the bridesmaid.
- 37:36Speaker 7: How did you not get that week?
- 37:37Speaker 3: I was sticking my head rounded again, Yeah, land of
- 37:42Speaker 3: take two weeks like John, Yeah, crazy story.

- 37:52Speaker 12: Marriage cross it works out.
- 37:58Speaker 3: Kelly's staying around for that story. But I was like,
- 38:00Speaker 3: can you come on the radio. No one will even
- 38:02Speaker 3: believe me if I tell that story because people think
- 38:04Speaker 3: I make stories up. I can't. I was like, well,
- 38:07Speaker 3: you will give it authenticity that it needs.
- 38:09Speaker 2: But crazy.
- 38:10Speaker 1: So now her X is with.
- 38:15Speaker 3: There off on.
- 38:18Speaker 7: What did she do in that moment? Throw down or
- 38:20Speaker 7: just walk away?
- 38:21Speaker 3: I thing just called it off? Yeah, always the one
- 38:24Speaker 3: about the guests. Obviously we're concern for her in that situation.
- 38:27Speaker 3: But the guests there, they're like, is the food have
- 38:30Speaker 3: a party or going on?
- 38:32Speaker 8: Do you remember it was I telling you Ben, there
- 38:34Speaker 8: was a story about a woman who her husband was cheating,
- 38:37Speaker 8: and someone the night before the wedding had sent her
- 38:40Speaker 8: the screenshots of the sordid messages. It might have been
- 38:44Speaker 8: the woman in fact, and said I wouldn't marry him,
- 38:46Speaker 8: would you. She didn't know what to do, so she
- 38:48Speaker 8: just went along with the wedding, and when she's supposed
- 38:50Speaker 8: to do her vowels in front of all their friends
- 38:53Speaker 8: and family, she reads out the sordid text messages.
- 38:56Speaker 2: That's waiting, that's a good place, skulks away.
- 39:01Speaker 7: And then she has a party. She is the reception
- 39:03Speaker 7: with her friends and family.
- 39:04Speaker 3: Right, so we checked this open. Okay, this might not happen,
- 39:07Speaker 3: This might not work as a high risk, high reward
- 39:09Speaker 3: takes full for its you even eight hundreds Okay, worst
- 39:13Speaker 3: wedding party people that were the groomsmen or the bridesmaids
- 39:20Speaker 3: that they just let you down on the big day.
- 39:24Speaker 3: You don't have to name them. But there's not no names,
- 39:26Speaker 3: but just what happened, what event took place where you're like, well,
- 39:29Speaker 3: that was the end of that friend.
- 39:31Speaker 2: In some ways, I'd rather find out like that than
- 39:33Speaker 2: go through the wedding. Yeah, it's a horrible way to
- 39:36Speaker 2: find out, but you'd rather find out before the wedding. Absolutely,
- 39:39Speaker 2: you know, yeah, oh cold, Well, at least we can
- 39:41Speaker 2: in there flow on with our lives about two years later.
- 39:44Speaker 2: What hang on? This was happening the whole time, Yeah, exactly.
- 39:47Speaker 1: The Hats that jonaan Ben podcast.
- 39:50Speaker 2: Now in Maracarra game that we are playing. Of course
- 39:52Speaker 2: you're playing along, so many people playing along with It's
- 39:55Speaker 2: been really great how this is captured everyone's imagination heading
- 39:58Speaker 2: into Christmas. You've just got to see how long you
- 40:00Speaker 2: can avoid listening to All I Want for Christmas by
- 40:03Speaker 2: Mariah Carey. If you hear it anywhere, no matter where
- 40:05Speaker 2: you are, I know, if you're scrolling through social media,
- 40:07Speaker 2: listening to the radio, whatever, you're out of the game.
- 40:10Speaker 3: Yeah, do you reckon? Mariah has any idea how much
- 40:13Speaker 3: she's impacted our lives over the last three or four
- 40:15Speaker 3: weeks in the long New Zealand mean know some mu
- 40:18Speaker 3: should message you. But the Santa Parade Sunday, the Hits
- 40:21Speaker 3: are a proud partner of the Santa Parade and on
- 40:24Speaker 3: the float you just discovered two days ago that the
- 40:27Speaker 3: song was going.
- 40:28Speaker 8: To be Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas. So
- 40:32Speaker 8: people in charge of that float. We're just going to
- 40:33Speaker 8: absolutely sabotage myself, beIN and met him who are still
- 40:38Speaker 8: in the game, and also anyone who was coming along
- 40:40Speaker 8: to watch the Santa Parade.
- 40:41Speaker 2: Who was playing last out for two hours on loop.
- 40:44Speaker 2: As we go around and around, nothing but that song
- 40:46Speaker 2: is dancers. So the problem being that we can't change
- 40:50Speaker 2: the song. We've been told we can't change the song
- 40:52Speaker 2: because dancers who are around our float have learned choreography
- 40:56Speaker 2: to that song. Yeah.
- 40:57Speaker 3: Now we spoke to our boss for me. I mean
- 41:00Speaker 3: there's been accusations of malice behavior, defending of melice behavior.
- 41:05Speaker 2: We were told that wasn't the song.
- 41:07Speaker 7: Are we thought flighting? This all seems like fun and games,
- 41:12Speaker 7: But behind the scenes.
- 41:13Speaker 2: We're told that that's why we chose chose that song.
- 41:16Speaker 2: That's what we're seeing.
- 41:17Speaker 3: Front room meetings, back room meetings, up and met up,
- 41:20Speaker 3: steers meetings, meetings all over the place. Now we're trying
- 41:22Speaker 3: to find a solution for a fun Christmas game.
- 41:24Speaker 8: Things are really Some people do serious work and then
- 41:27Speaker 8: there's us fighting over a sign for a.
- 41:30Speaker 2: Game that's no prize attached, no prize attached, there's nothing
- 41:35Speaker 2: but the glory, the glory and just how long can
- 41:38Speaker 2: we go?
- 41:39Speaker 3: We'll just do a side poll. Do you think being
- 41:41Speaker 3: a megan and taking this a little too seriously?
- 41:43Speaker 7: I don't.
- 41:44Speaker 2: Honestly, I don't mind going out on sunnery, but I
- 41:47Speaker 2: just feel bad that we're trying to get all these
- 41:48Speaker 2: people playing this game, and they're potentially in the crowd.
- 41:51Speaker 2: They'll be like, oh thanks, guys, you know that we're
- 41:53Speaker 2: the ones to get them out.
- 41:54Speaker 7: Are the biggest things to worry abut about in the world. Yes, absolutely,
- 41:58Speaker 7: I'm still very invested.
- 42:00Speaker 3: I can't think of any nothing springing to mind at
- 42:02Speaker 3: the moment. So we have pictured, So pictured.
- 42:07Speaker 2: We sorry.
- 42:07Speaker 3: We pitched to our boss Matt that we changed the
- 42:11Speaker 3: song now to get around the whole dancers. They've learned
- 42:14Speaker 3: their routine. It's sort of something in that the same
- 42:17Speaker 3: beats per minute, so they're still they're timing that is
- 42:20Speaker 3: not thrown out. You're not thrown out, the people aren't
- 42:23Speaker 3: thrown out. It's a win win, it's a win win situation.
- 42:27Speaker 3: Now he's had to clear his calendar.
- 42:29Speaker 2: He said, it's a big day two here the radio,
- 42:31Speaker 2: so he's clear his character calendar and that's always going
- 42:33Speaker 2: to work on Today's.
- 42:35Speaker 7: Definitely a few men has to be a part of all.
- 42:37Speaker 2: No, that's all about Maria today. Today is all about Mariah.
- 42:41Speaker 3: So hopefully we'll have a resolution tomorrow and a new
- 42:44Speaker 3: song and announce announcement of a new song on the float.
- 42:47Speaker 2: The news, the crushing news that we are playing nothing
- 42:50Speaker 2: but Mariah Carey for two hours.
- 42:52Speaker 3: Many text saying your behavior is totally acceptable, no way
- 42:56Speaker 3: of more. Get more emotional about the cause. So thank you.
- 43:00Speaker 2: Yeah, we appreciate everyone.
- 43:02Speaker 3: He runs on board with us. Yeah, and we want
- 43:04Speaker 3: to be on board the float.
- 43:05Speaker 1: The heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
- 43:07Speaker 2: Because we're trying to do a fun Christmas game, you know,
- 43:10Speaker 2: trying to avoid hearing Riah Carey song and we find
- 43:14Speaker 2: out just.
- 43:15Speaker 7: Not much gets been boyed salty a couple of days ago.
- 43:19Speaker 3: I love that he's like he's willing to die and
- 43:20Speaker 3: did show over this campaign. Yeah he is. Now you
- 43:23Speaker 3: discovered that I.
- 43:24Speaker 2: Love doing stuff. We call them story arcs where people
- 43:26Speaker 2: we get involved and we bring people on the journey,
- 43:28Speaker 2: and I love doing them.
- 43:29Speaker 7: And thinking about this one is there's no prize doing
- 43:33Speaker 7: it for glory.
- 43:34Speaker 2: Everyone's getting in on it.
- 43:35Speaker 3: So the magical thing is there's no money involved.
- 43:38Speaker 2: Yeah we have.
- 43:38Speaker 3: We haven't paid to any budget, no budget. This is
- 43:41Speaker 3: free campaign from starting to finish.
- 43:43Speaker 2: Yeah. And there's a text coming through because our float
- 43:45Speaker 2: is going to be playing Mariah Carey's all I Want
- 43:48Speaker 2: for Christmas, someone's saying, why not give the immunity because
- 43:51Speaker 2: it's not you just you guys playing the game. The
- 43:53Speaker 2: rest of New Zealand are playing as well. That's what
- 43:54Speaker 2: someone saying on the text. That's true, and so we're
- 43:56Speaker 2: going to get all the people that potentially are playing
- 43:59Speaker 2: the game out on the It's not the whole point.
- 44:01Speaker 8: Of this isn't Christmas Grint. We're not trying to like
- 44:04Speaker 8: be buzzkills for Christmas. I don't want anyone to not
- 44:06Speaker 8: go to the parade because they're trying to kno hearm RYO.
- 44:09Speaker 3: But if that's what it takes, those are the links
- 44:12Speaker 3: we're willing to go to. Now we have had patch
- 44:14Speaker 3: that we changed the song on the float. Now Matt
- 44:16Speaker 3: our boss is going away's talking to the people and
- 44:18Speaker 3: he's going to try and come up with a solution
