because Coldplay helped him wake up from a coma. The
fascinating story is going to join you very shortly.

Seats and that so they were lovely about it, but

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Your wife.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
They were lovely and.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Deal with you know, deal with someone being in his
seat and.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
His wife does a man? How many awkward confrontations have
you seen? Amanda?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
And lots, she's a lot things. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
If I can avoid an awkward situation, I will, you know,
But do.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
You don't know what she's saying over the now? He
could be like that guy over there has sent me
over here to say he's really annoyed you.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I don't care about it.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I don't mind, but that guy there not here, and
I'm like waving lightly with a big smile.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
There'll be a great trick.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
He's not.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
He's about to go really violent, guys. Result, that's all right,
that's what happens. I'll enjoy the podcast. Will shut up
now because it's such a great chat with Dylan for
you right now.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Dylan Bow joins us in the studio. Good morning, Dylan.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
Great to have you here, Thanks for having me now.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Cold Play over the weekend was amazing when sorry myself,
but you very special connection. This is you got caught
up on stage with cold Play. Backstory, you're from America?
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Yes, do you want to go back now?
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Right now?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
So you've you're from Minnesota and you've flown all the
way over here to see cold Play.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Well, hey I went and saw them. It's it's probably worth.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
Yeah, it's worth it, worth it if you don't get
cold on stage with Chris Martin.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
But you got caught up. Say so you had a
sign at the concept why let's say.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
Yeah, so I said your music woke me up from
a comment. Can we sing about this magic together?
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Which yeah, and he did.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Chris Martin saw this, he didn't see.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
It and he called me up.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
God, Yeah, it's crazy. It's still like I can shake
just thinking about the moment.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Well, you get took it now because someone filmed it
and put it on the internet.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
That's you harmonizing with Chris Martin. Yeah, it's incredible in
front of fifty.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
About a billion times in my car. You know, I
didn't ever think it happened in your life.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
But in front of fifty thousand people, you're just shutting
your eyes there, shaking your head. Does it still give
you give you a goosebumps listening to it? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Yeah it does.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
So this is a legit story because that's what Chris
Martin asked you as well. He's like, is it legit
that you woke up from a coma listening to Coldplay?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (02:52):
And it is a legit story.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
You know, I had an incident about eight months ago
now and my heart stopped. I had about five seconds
and hit my head pretty bad. So I was in
the hospital when to come up for about four days.
And yeah, they told my husband, my family, I'm from
Hawaii originally actually from Maui, so they all flew in.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Expecting that they'd have to pull the plug.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
Maybe they talked about that with my husband, which is scary,
and and you know he at about day three, the
chaplain came in. Now, I don't remember this very well.
Obviously I was out there. So I'll telling you this
from what they told me. And he said, you know,
they asked him, what can they do to.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Make me more comfortable? And he's like, well, put Copley on.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
It's the only thing that he's loved since he was
about eight years old. I mean that's when I started
listening to Cope. I've been listening to my whole life,
and like a lot of people, Coplay's music has helped
them through a lot of things.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
And then.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Yeah, so about twenty four hours after hearing Coplay, the
first signs of coming back out of this is me
playing air piano and everything. All the doctors, i mean
people that it's just changed the whole course of the
whole healing process. I mean, everybody came back in to
that room. Doctors, neurologists, everybody were like, this is He's
(04:09):
gonna make it, you know, because they thought for sure,
either I was gonna die number one or two I'd
be permanently brain damaged, right, I mean either two outcomes,
And so.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
They're basically telling your family and your husband. There's no hope.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Either there's no hope or that you're going to be
permanently brain damaged or there's going to be some severe
damage done.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
And from the coulplight brings me, please help me back
to life.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Yeah, I mean doctors and nurses for sure.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I love Chris Mountains love we should go give credit
to the medical PROFI and I agree.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
And nurses heroes for sure. I mean my nurses.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
There were like the best human beings on the planet
and they'd never.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
Get enough credit.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
So you floated for this, So I flew, yeah, because
you know, after this there's a lot of recovery process,
occupational physiotherapists everywhere else everywhere, Yeah, everywhere else in the world.
And I knew that this show I'd be ready to fly.
You know, I hadn't flown really at all after this
because it's a bit of a recovery, and especially dancing
(05:10):
and flashing lights and the over stimulation of a concert
of this type. So it took a while to be ready.
And I knew that by this these shows I could
handle it again. So I was like, Okay, we have
to set this date. We're gonna get ready We're gonna
give back.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
We can do this.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
And you know, the Coldplay's message that has always been
around for a long time has never give up. I've
had this head on probably, yeah, not every day because
I had to try not to lose my hair, but
most of the time since this happened. And yeah, I
mean I've listened to Coldplay and physiotherapy to get me
through hard healing moments and emotional therapy through it and
(05:48):
to recover. And so yeah, I knew i'd make it here.
I tried my best. Even if I didn't get called
on stage with Chris, I wanted to thank him for
saving my life. Yeah, so I just want to say
thank you.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Ges tell you what he's come here, and he has
charmed the pens off New Zealand. Chris Martin was he
because I could see him touching your face and hugging.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Well, let's let's do another classic radio seagson. Have you
got time just to hang around for five more minutes
and to us exactly what it's like being up on
stage with Chris Martin singing a song with Chris Martin.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
This is an incredible story. I want to keep you around.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
And also to ask you how on earth we tracked.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
You down as well the hits that jonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
He's in New.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Zealand, he's from America. He got pulled up on stage
to sing with Coldplay Friday night. He had a sign
saying Coldplay helped me wake up from a coma.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Incredible.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
It was a beautiful moment which has made news all
over the world. And Dylan has kindly got up early
and he's with us in the studio. Now, now, what
exactly did the sign say?
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Mate?
Speaker 6 (06:53):
It says your music walk me up from a coma?
Can we sing about this magic together?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Did you have any idea that Chris Martin wou would
pick you out from the crowd?
Speaker 6 (07:00):
You know, I thought there was a slight chance, but
I didn't know for sure, not at all. Yeah, because
there's a lot of great signs, right, He's helped so
many people. I mean, he's freaking Chris Martin.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
He just looks a good will. He's not Jesus Chris mouts.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
On stage and then you get to sing with him
sitting I mean, firstly, how surreal was that sitting?
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Well, first of all, he tied my shoe. I don't
know if you saw that on the thing he tied
my shoe. Oh my gosh. Yeah, it's it's pretty crazy.
It was a little embarrassing maybe, but Jesus, Jesus washed f.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
He's the most kind man ever, probably in the world.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
People tell you they don't like Coldplay. You hear a
lot of these comments you don't like Chris Martin whatever.
I mean, I don't know how. Maybe we can disagree
on music, but you can't disagree that he's a pretty
great human being.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Yeah, you know what I mean, the most lovely person. Yeah.
So yeah, that was crazy.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
And then just to see him and he's so sweet
and he's so kind and loving, and it's like, oh, yeah,
this isn't fake.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
It's not a fake act.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
He wasn't just trying to get a fan off the
stage or like hurry it up. He was just so
sweet and kind and I can.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Tell you in the moment with you, Yeah, yeah, did he.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Have any words to say to you that maybe Roynolds
didn't hear.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
He just said, I love I love you, thank you
for you know everything, and I hope you continue to
do well. There was, yes, just some moments that said,
you know, will always be together.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Yeah, so what did that moment means to you?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Because I mean, obviously, you come out of a coma,
you've gone through so much over the last while with health,
you know, with your health, get back to be able
to fly. It comes to New Zealand halfway around the world,
and then you're on stage with Chris Martin.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I mean, what did that mean?
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Well?
Speaker 6 (08:38):
And it's deeper than that, I think, because obviously there's
the com aspect coming back to life. It's huge right
to have the second chance in life, and I think
that's what it taught me more than anything. As I
take every moment, like sitting with you all right now,
I don't take anything for granted anymore.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
That's definitely not up there with Chris Martin.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
No, it's not, but it is.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
Actually, you know it is because I take every meeting
with people now, like everyone in New Zealand's been so
friendly and and you know all the fans I've also
met along the way, and like all the stories. Actually
it's all up there in some way. But the meeting
with Chris Martin was it goes way back before this
because you know, he's been with me since I was
like eight years old. In some way he inspired my
(09:16):
musical journey. I've been singing since I was a kid
and doing music and and so meeting him, you know,
it's brought me back to every moment I've sang with him.
I've harmonized with him since I was a kid. He
taught me, he taught me music, and so it was
like this human being who felt like a best friend
of mine in so many ways that I've like met
this best friend that I never had met before in person.
(09:40):
And I think that's why he woke me up from
the comas, because not just maybe the music, but it's
because it was like, hey, that's one of the family
members that I've actually known the closest in some ways.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
So you've been doing your vocal warmut for.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Fifteen years, you were ready to gard so anyway, Yeah,
it was just crazy meeting him, and he was so
sweet and so kind and then I got thrown back
over the barricade again.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Thank you so much morning, It's been amazing to meet you.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
What did he smell like?
Speaker 6 (10:10):
This sounds really good from having jumped up and down
on stage and running around for that long. I don't
think any of us would have smelled that good after
I don't know I can speak for myself, but all
the questions.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
That actually, that's a really good question. Yeah, that's very normal.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
Thank you so much for hagging out the hits that
and Ben podcast the weekend.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
I my daughter has just started saying sentences, which is great,
it's cute, but she's started to get me into trouble.
So like in our house, you're gonna cringe. You guys
are gonna be of course, but we don't Andrew and
I don't. We don't go to the toilet like with
the doors open. We don't like lead each other, know
when you go to the toilet. We don't like far
(10:55):
in front of each other.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
We just keep that do you clinch you well, you
go to another that's you want to keep.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
It, like to keep that stuff between.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Us, although you never know what's turning when you're asleep
and he's.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Awake because I always fall asleep first because we get
up early and stuff, and he always delights in telling
me a five, like I don't know my sleep. Yeah,
but yesterday my daughter and I were in the kitchen
and my husband's down the hallway and I was like,
this is safe territory.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I'm just gonna like to.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Like dainty lady light.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Painted as dainty light.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
But anyone's Megan.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, it was. It was smell like an English meadow,
smell like roses.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
But my daughter looked at me and started smiling and
she was like, mummy, no poopy. And I was like no, no, no.
I was like no, no. She's like, no poopy mummy.
And Andrew's like, wait, what did she say?
Speaker 3 (12:00):
What she say She's like.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Mommy smelly.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
He was like, no, she didn't say anything.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Don't worry, don't worry.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
So now she's like taken to calling me out and
kind of fun.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah. And the good thing is because can't read a
room too. They don't know when all goodness is around.
They don't just say whatever it's about to explode out
of their mouth, they'll just say it.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
She was literally like asking me if I poot myself?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah, sounded like through mummy.
Speaker 7 (12:25):
It's a really bad smells that Jona wan Ben podcast now.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
On Friday and Christ to me for the the Christ Show.
And you're sort of trapesing around the place paying people
to have photos with us. That's what it's come to. Yeah,
they got prize money if you had a photo with us. Now,
there was something that was happening throughout the day. And
whenever you take photos in any sitting family, whatever, personal official,
(12:50):
there's always an awkward sort of three to five seconds
of silence whilst posing. Do you notice that, well, because well.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah, we've all like tried to talk through that awkwardness,
and you the photos look terrible, because you know, it's
better just to stop and do what what people have
done for centuries.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Just smile and stop, have a moment.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
You hit a great little thing that you don't do
it so often now. But he used to make a
little a little noise, like.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Just a little like a little balloon, like slowly litting
out here at the good I didn't realize I was
doing it.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
I used to get mocked for it at an old
radio station.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Let's just be like, it was like on the verge
of almost saying something, but then no exactly. So I'm
not a big fan of the silence. So I like
to you know, if we're, for example, at a farm,
you go, okay, let's say cows on the counter, three one, two,
(13:44):
three cows. Now, this is what I want to get
into the account of three I experienced over the weekend.
My daughter, she was like, let's do cookies on three
one two cookies roll. But know, when you think about it,
is she right because we're saying on the beating.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
But I generally everyone would say one two three cookie.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I know.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
But have we been doing it wrong? Yeah, maybe we
have because you're saying on three, So that is that
is technically one two.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Also cookies make some sense. The reason we say cheese
is because it makes the smile.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yeah, when you go cows and who knows what they're
doing for like cow, That's why cheese is the thing.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Just pick a random word that you want. It's like, oh,
we're on a farm, it's go cows. It was like cow.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Cows at the show on Friday Thursday, and I was
like cows and no one else said cows.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Not even my mouth gonna be like cows. You have
to make a wide mouth cow.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
I was like cows by myself.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
That's why cheese has been the thing for years.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
If you find another word that makes me smart, like
makes it look like I'm smart to do.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
It, Prune's apparently a good one because it makes you.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Powert Okay, So if you're on a party photo, what
about course, yes, maybe the ship part.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
You can smile.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Anyway. There's just a timing on it. What do you
recond Do we go one two then the word or
one two three then the word?
Speaker 3 (15:16):
You probably could have got one two and then the
word because.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
It can throw off the algorithm if everyone's doing it
at different times, can't. So yeah, why don't you just go?
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Everyone say cheese?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
I reckon.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
The awkwardness has a lot to do with the photographer,
Like the photographer can can help if you get a great.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Photographer who talks through them. All right, guys, here we go.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Let's looking at your like there's no awkwardness, but said
someone stops and it's not.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Otherwise you're just standing there cuddling stranger cutting.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Here the click These days on the phone, they're taking
the photo that I don't think they're like, yep, they
hand your phone.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
One of my favorite moments is when a camera is
handed over to a less than qualified photographer and they're
fumbling through wed a wonderful guy to SIGGI dingling out
of his mouth and his wife was like, you just
have a phone. I was like, you can get into
and then he was just sort of standing there with
the phone for a while, and I was like, oh,
I noticed his thumb's not moving or his fingers are
the movie was just sort of holding it and he's like,
(16:09):
I don't know what to do, and so then she
and then they have to go out of the embrace
and then go and do it a little bit of
a crash course and instruction, don't they.
Speaker 7 (16:17):
It's an all good moments that John wan Ben podcast
Highlow Buffalo.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
We're doing this again. This is a part of the
show you introduced three or four weeks.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Ago, although we do it. Yeah, so it's your high
over the week.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Your weekends, your live of the weekend, or your Buffalo,
which for some reason is the funny thing.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
But if we found out that if we each go.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
High low Buffalo, it takes too long, too much, so
that we can just choose one blows of weeks with
the content.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
He probably does that as well.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
So what are you going to go, Megan?
Speaker 4 (16:43):
I probably should go high?
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Right, you do what if you want? We're going to go.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
I'm going to go loath. Then I poured hot water
on my hand yesterday.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
On your carpal tunnel hand, which I.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Was okay with because then I was like it's still
only one hand that's monthed.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
So my do I say that bandage is looking incredibly manky?
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Really, I'm really embarrassed about it.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
No, don't be like it's got because it's yellow and because.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
You considering it's been on for like over a week,
it's not too bad.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
It's traveled, it's been all over the country, has been
to an a m P show. It's yeah, exactly, britten.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Lawn mowers, hitted animals, all sorts, and.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
It looks blade.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
It doesn't look that.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Bad, right, cold plays everything bandages, I know, don't. It
definitely looks like I've poured four.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Of my head. What do you think sanitize the bandits?
Speaker 3 (17:39):
Exactly?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Did you get a blister?
Speaker 3 (17:42):
No?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
What are we talking? Boiling water or just sort of?
Speaker 4 (17:45):
It was literally straight I boiled a pot of pasta
and then as I drained it, I decided to drain
it on my hands.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
It's a low. What about your high? Low or Buffalo?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
I'm going to go Buffalo, okay? And my Buffalo was
I spent probably about forty five minutes in a hole
about Buffalo researching Buffalo. Yeah, I was like, I don't
know much about them.

The Buffalo, the animal, Buffalo the place.
Speaker 2 (18:07):

There's a lot. It's like, how bleak is your weekend?
This is the one thing it was a high or
a low or a buffalo. Well, I feel like none

go Buffalo. Yeah. Then six and a half feet tall.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Wow, wasn't it your birthday weekend?

Speaker 1 (18:36):

almost like when the smoke alarm goes off, and you're
just like, that's there, and it's there, and I just
listened and from.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Early in the morning, no one else in the house
was like did they their winding me up? There's some
native bird too.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Probably I'll try and record it because it was like, yeah,
I hadn't heard it before, but I was just like,
what is it?
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Noise? What is that noise?
Speaker 2 (19:13):
It's when you're zeroing on it, Yeah, and you wait
for it.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Yeah, there it is again. I wake my wife up
so I can't hear it. I'm like, you can hear it.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
This is a guy here, sleeping is just not for him.
The reasoning is not for him.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Clearly. I was like, I'm going to risk guys. I
needed the rest. I was after seven, so it.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Was a little bit more of a sleeper than normal.
So yeah, so that was my It was geese. It
was the kind of a buffalo. Also a love of
the week.
Speaker 7 (19:37):
The hits that John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
It's just over a month's time and we're playing a
fun little game and you can play along to the
Mariah Carey game. You just have to see how long
you can go avoiding hearing All I Want for Christmas
from Mariah Carey.
Speaker 2 (19:50):

like Ben's rendition.
Speaker 3 (19:56):

a new single out called Cowboy Up.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
It's great country jam.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
It's a great single, and we pitched it to her
that she should get involved with the game.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
I would love to play.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
You have to leave us know when you're out of
the game. That's all.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
At some stage when you hear it, it might be
scrolling through social media.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Did you get to listen to it free?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Okay, you're just The only condition is you need to
let us know when you're out of the game.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Okay. So that was on Friday.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Now, Katie Bell messaged us over the weekend. She sent
us a voice memo. She's on tour at the moment
with Kane Brown in Australia, but here's a message.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Hey guys.
Speaker 8 (20:45):
Well, I was very excited to play the Christmas game.
Love Christmas, but I'd.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Probably give it.
Speaker 8 (20:52):
About an hour after I was on here with you, guys,
jumped in the car and a Christmas ad came on
the radio, and I was really sad because I knew
my road to the game was done. And I mean
it's great now because I don't have to worry about
hearing the song. But ah, I just I don't know
(21:13):
how you guys are still in the game. I hear
that song all the time.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
She's out.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
You were scrolling through Instagram? Were you on Friday morning?
Speaker 7 (21:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Coincidentally, after we just spoke to two people who were
out and I was like, idiots, and then I sort
of scrolling.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
I don't know how I'm not out of the game
because I fizz everything Christmas and I haven't been actively
trying to avoid it.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
No, you say that every time you forget that you're
playing the game.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
I just keep going to the supermarket and I'm like
scrolling haphazardly on social media, but I haven't heard it.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
It's gonna come for us this week, Maria's coming for us.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
It's like COVID. You remember you're dodging COVID for that
sweet little period.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
No, no, no, I was just at the wall. That
was people.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
It's a location of interest and Mariah after I left,
they played it.

we'd love to know how are you playing it?
Speaker 3 (22:17):
And are you out or are you still on the game.
But because how long you've been playing it for, I'm
surprised you and I are still on it.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Me and we spoke.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Now Nicole, who's our friend in the US. She's the
host the radio show in New York. She had a
personal experience with Mariah Carey, who's a magnificent artist and
also a well publicized eva, and she's got every right
to be she's hugely successful. But have her listened to
this now?
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (22:40):
So Mariah Carey left us waiting for four hours.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Oh my boss.
Speaker 9 (22:45):
Never was like listen, like you guys, this is disrespectful,
this is wrong, Like our thing is like when people
are late, like you would never be late for live television,
like why, Like this is not okay. But it was
a Mariah So it was like this big deal and
it was late. It was much leader in the day.
So we're waiting, we're losing our minds, We're like playing games, we're.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Trying to wait.
Speaker 9 (23:02):
Then they have everything come in like like a big
platter of all her favorite things and the whole things,
and they said this, she has to have this. It's
demanded that she has this, just like almost like on
a rider and backstage of the show.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
What are some of her favorite things that need to
be on the phe It was.
Speaker 9 (23:16):
Like these special crackers, this like fruit plate. It was
like nothing that's special, but like specifically catered to her.
Speaker 10 (23:23):
Right.
Speaker 9 (23:24):
She finally comes in like nothing, like she hasn't left
us waiting, like it's no big thing, sits down, takes
the platter, pushes it to the side and goes, why
is this here?
Speaker 7 (23:35):
Like wo u?
Speaker 9 (23:38):
And it like fit on the ground like she pushed
it like I don't want less crap here.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Four I mean four. Alice is wildly behind you. You
listen to the well and so obviously all she wanted
for Christmas was not the pla.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
And so I was you. She keeps saying, I don't
So there we go.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
You can do you two keep going, you keep us alive.
Speaker 7 (24:00):
That johonaan Ben podcasts, he's in concerts.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
You would have seen it all over social media, in
the news as well in New Zealand. Over one hundred
and fifty thousand people got to experience Coldplay.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
I wish they would never leave the country. I was
wonderful that the country just seemed fifteen percent happier. Were
and boy boy, you've really been flying from christ Church
on Friday and you go the stimulation of the local
economy being and Megan, I'm sure you would agree.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Everyone on the plane when we were flying back to
Auckland was going to Coldplay than everyone.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Chris Martin just came over here and just sprayed stimulation
all over our economy.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
It's so good to see incredible concerts you have, seeing
the light up barm bands, everything like that as well.
And actually after eight o'clock this morning he joined us
before seven. We want to play it again, Dylan bowed.
He's from America.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
He was in a coma and Coleplay helped him out
of the coma. He got to sing with.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Chris Martin over the weekend. It was this Champagne.
Speaker 6 (24:51):
It says your music walk me up from a coma.
Can we sing about this magic together?
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Did you have any idea that Chris Martin would would
pick you out from the crowd?
Speaker 6 (24:59):
You know, I thought there was a slagh chance, but
I didn't know for sure.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
And he's got an amazing story and not only of
being on stage with Chris Martin, but when he was
in a coma. Yeah, and how it came out of

are just so good.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
You go fourth.
Speaker 1 (25:22):

I went twice. I was lucky enough to go through
work on the first night, and then we bought tickets
for the Saturday night to take the kids.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Just incredible, like the best concert hand is down.
Speaker 10 (25:33):
Absolutely, that's such a great live band. I am a
bit obsessed with them, but I actually don't listen to
them a lot, but I think they're just the best
live band. So many of these songs are just made
for a live show.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Right, you would say so much for money if you
just did more listening to them and personal concert tickets,
I know.
Speaker 10 (25:51):
Well, actually get what I did do is I searched
up their careers page how do I join the tour?
How do I how do I get Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Have I got a career's page job?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (26:00):
Vacancy jobs at colp plut it's going yeah, nothing. I
think they might be looking for an accountant or something.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
I want to put it past you to learn accounting
and join combat.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Incredible spectacle, as I said before, with the light up bracelets, coffiti,
you got balloons, everything.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
On the Confiti.
Speaker 10 (26:20):
So I I queued up for six hours outside the
stadium on Saturday just so I could get as close
to the stage as possible. I managed to get right
up front and I was next to the Confiti cannon.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
I thought I was going to die. Just went off NonStop.
Was it just blowing Confiti in your face the whole night?
Speaker 10 (26:38):
I feel like it was. It was the last show
of there tour this year. I'm like, right, we've got
I think they were like, we've got excess.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Let's just get rid of it.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
We don't want to take any of it with us.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
You'll be able to ask this question for me, though,
because it does go off multiple times in the show,
and it goes off with different colors and stuff. Is
he someone like reloading it packing?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
It.
Speaker 10 (26:56):
Yeah, and like swapping out the compressor tanks everything. Wow,
how are you still pulling pieces of confiti outside?
Speaker 2 (27:04):
So much confeiti?
Speaker 10 (27:05):
They say it's biodegradable, So I'm going to do a
wee better sign of course at home, I'm going to
see how biodegradable it is.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
My husband ate something to make it, like as a
potato starch or something.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
It's not. I love it.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
They're like, we can't diggle those comfiti big to England
with us.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
You're going to get rid of that.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
So six hours, that's a good bitment. You've traveled with
the Perth to see them as well?
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Yeah, a year ago today?
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Actually yeah, has he ever paid to see you Chris?
Speaker 10 (27:28):
No?
Speaker 2 (27:28):
But I think he did.
Speaker 10 (27:29):
See me in the crowd very briefly, did he?
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Did he give you a smile? I think he took it.
Might have been someone else take it. Thanks for taking
the head on all the.
Speaker 7 (27:40):

Blacks losing a close one to France by one point
over the weekend thirty points to twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
They saw they were all the white Tops, Yes, and
that harks back to when they lost the quarter final
at the World Cup. Maybe it's the White Tops they're
called the All Blacks.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Doesn't have the same manner, you know, you're right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
But it's quite confusing if they play and they're black,
and then you know France playing that really dark blue

have thought she was gone years, right. Yeah, you don't
seem overly surprised because I know.
Speaker 3 (31:38):

Playing a Mariah Carey game for Christmas, so you can
play along till you can start right now.
Speaker 7 (33:36):
It's fine.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
All you have to do is try and avoid listening
to Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas for.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
As long as you can. Now. It needs to be
Mariah's rendition of the song, her professional recording of it,
and not this one.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
I don't want a lot for Christmas. There is just
one thing I need.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
You know. I feel like this version has more character. Yeah,
thanks me smile, but yeah, do you just want to
polish up, but you enjoy the tune.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
It's pretty shocking and my singing, so you can listen
to any other version. You just can't listen to Mariah's
if you're at court, in a mall or a shop,
or on social media and you do hear it.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Like John I was on social media on Friday and
he was like, I'm out.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
Yeah, just catches you completely unawares, and it's just like that.
You know, it was a Korean show all watching Lockdown
Quid game. It's brutally eliminated contestants and Kaylie Bell country
music superstar. I'm going to call her a superstar. She
was playing along with us too. She's like, damn right,
I'm in. She wants to play it, and she was
out as quick as she joined.
Speaker 8 (34:38):
Hey, guys, well, I was very excited to play the
Christmas game. Love Christmas, but I'd probably give it. About
an hour after I was on here with you, guys,
jumped in the car and a Christmas ad came on
the radio, and I was really sad because I knew
my road to the game was done. And I mean,
(35:01):
it's great now because I don't have to worry about
hearing the song. But ah, I just I don't know
how you guys are still in the game. I hear
that song all the time for.
Speaker 4 (35:11):
Listening to the radio, the radio that got her out.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
Yeah, but she's free from the Shekels now great song
and peace care free, whereas a little bit jealous.
Speaker 4 (35:22):
Actually still in the game. But I'd love to listen
to it.
Speaker 2 (35:24):
It's not you guys trying to avoid paying text. The
ideal always you will catch up with you at some point.
And we do have a Center parade this weekend, I know.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
The Farmer Santa Parade, which one of the floats we've
been that float in the past that have had Mariah
on loop.

So we do have a Christmas song on the Hits
float that's going on loop. But we've been guaranteed it's
not more.
Speaker 1 (35:44):
So we need to get into that, don't we at
some stage because I don't know, I don't know we
can't or is a Z that day exemption from it?
Speaker 2 (35:50):

This jonaman Being Podcast brought to you by Hello Fresh
the Experts and Tastes that Kiwi's love to the podcast
on a Monday morning, a really really interesting one for you.
Today we managed to track down Dylan Bow who is
from America. I came to New Zealand to watch Coldplay
because Coldplay helped him wake up from a coma. The
fascinating story is going to join you very shortly.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
You and launched the cold Player. You also hear how
Being had the awkward moment if someone was sitting in his.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Seats and that so they were lovely about it, but
well that's my wife, my wife.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Your wife.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
They were lovely and.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Deal with you know, deal with someone being in his
seat and.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
His wife does a man? How many awkward confrontations have
you seen? Amanda?
Speaker 3 (00:42):
And lots, she's a lot things. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
If I can avoid an awkward situation, I will, you know,
But do.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
You don't know what she's saying over the now? He
could be like that guy over there has sent me
over here to say he's really annoyed you.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
I don't care about it.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I don't mind, but that guy there not here, and
I'm like waving lightly with a big smile.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
There'll be a great trick.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
He's not.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
He's about to go really violent, guys. Result, that's all right,
that's what happens. I'll enjoy the podcast. Will shut up
now because it's such a great chat with Dylan for
you right now.
Speaker 3 (01:21):
Dylan Bow joins us in the studio. Good morning, Dylan.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
Great to have you here, Thanks for having me now.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
Cold Play over the weekend was amazing when sorry myself,
but you very special connection. This is you got caught
up on stage with cold Play. Backstory, you're from America?
Speaker 6 (01:37):
Yes, do you want to go back now?
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Right now?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
So you've you're from Minnesota and you've flown all the
way over here to see cold Play.
Speaker 5 (01:51):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Well, hey I went and saw them. It's it's probably worth.
Speaker 6 (01:54):
Yeah, it's worth it, worth it if you don't get
cold on stage with Chris Martin.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
But you got caught up. Say so you had a
sign at the concept why let's say.
Speaker 6 (02:00):
Yeah, so I said your music woke me up from
a comment. Can we sing about this magic together?
Speaker 5 (02:05):
Which yeah, and he did.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Chris Martin saw this, he didn't see.
Speaker 5 (02:09):
It and he called me up.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
God, Yeah, it's crazy. It's still like I can shake
just thinking about the moment.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
Well, you get took it now because someone filmed it
and put it on the internet.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
That's you harmonizing with Chris Martin. Yeah, it's incredible in
front of fifty.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
About a billion times in my car. You know, I
didn't ever think it happened in your life.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
But in front of fifty thousand people, you're just shutting
your eyes there, shaking your head. Does it still give
you give you a goosebumps listening to it? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Yeah it does.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
So this is a legit story because that's what Chris
Martin asked you as well. He's like, is it legit
that you woke up from a coma listening to Coldplay?
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (02:52):
And it is a legit story.
Speaker 6 (02:54):
You know, I had an incident about eight months ago
now and my heart stopped. I had about five seconds
and hit my head pretty bad. So I was in
the hospital when to come up for about four days.
And yeah, they told my husband, my family, I'm from
Hawaii originally actually from Maui, so they all flew in.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
Expecting that they'd have to pull the plug.
Speaker 6 (03:15):
Maybe they talked about that with my husband, which is scary,
and and you know he at about day three, the
chaplain came in. Now, I don't remember this very well.
Obviously I was out there. So I'll telling you this
from what they told me. And he said, you know,
they asked him, what can they do to.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Make me more comfortable? And he's like, well, put Copley on.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
It's the only thing that he's loved since he was
about eight years old. I mean that's when I started
listening to Cope. I've been listening to my whole life,
and like a lot of people, Coplay's music has helped
them through a lot of things.
Speaker 5 (03:46):
And then.
Speaker 6 (03:48):
Yeah, so about twenty four hours after hearing Coplay, the
first signs of coming back out of this is me
playing air piano and everything. All the doctors, i mean
people that it's just changed the whole course of the
whole healing process. I mean, everybody came back in to
that room. Doctors, neurologists, everybody were like, this is He's
(04:09):
gonna make it, you know, because they thought for sure,
either I was gonna die number one or two I'd
be permanently brain damaged, right, I mean either two outcomes,
And so.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
They're basically telling your family and your husband. There's no hope.
Speaker 6 (04:22):
Either there's no hope or that you're going to be
permanently brain damaged or there's going to be some severe
damage done.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
And from the coulplight brings me, please help me back
to life.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Yeah, I mean doctors and nurses for sure.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
I love Chris Mountains love we should go give credit
to the medical PROFI and I agree.
Speaker 5 (04:38):
And nurses heroes for sure. I mean my nurses.
Speaker 6 (04:43):
There were like the best human beings on the planet
and they'd never.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
Get enough credit.
Speaker 6 (04:47):
So you floated for this, So I flew, yeah, because
you know, after this there's a lot of recovery process,
occupational physiotherapists everywhere else everywhere, Yeah, everywhere else in the world.
And I knew that this show I'd be ready to fly.
You know, I hadn't flown really at all after this
because it's a bit of a recovery, and especially dancing
(05:10):
and flashing lights and the over stimulation of a concert
of this type. So it took a while to be ready.
And I knew that by this these shows I could
handle it again. So I was like, Okay, we have
to set this date. We're gonna get ready We're gonna
give back.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
We can do this.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
And you know, the Coldplay's message that has always been
around for a long time has never give up. I've
had this head on probably, yeah, not every day because
I had to try not to lose my hair, but
most of the time since this happened. And yeah, I
mean I've listened to Coldplay and physiotherapy to get me
through hard healing moments and emotional therapy through it and
(05:48):
to recover. And so yeah, I knew i'd make it here.
I tried my best. Even if I didn't get called
on stage with Chris, I wanted to thank him for
saving my life. Yeah, so I just want to say
thank you.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Ges tell you what he's come here, and he has
charmed the pens off New Zealand. Chris Martin was he
because I could see him touching your face and hugging.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Well, let's let's do another classic radio seagson. Have you
got time just to hang around for five more minutes
and to us exactly what it's like being up on
stage with Chris Martin singing a song with Chris Martin.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
This is an incredible story. I want to keep you around.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
And also to ask you how on earth we tracked.
Speaker 7 (06:20):
You down as well the hits that jonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (06:24):
He's in New.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Zealand, he's from America. He got pulled up on stage
to sing with Coldplay Friday night. He had a sign
saying Coldplay helped me wake up from a coma.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Incredible.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
It was a beautiful moment which has made news all
over the world. And Dylan has kindly got up early
and he's with us in the studio. Now, now, what
exactly did the sign say?
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Mate?
Speaker 6 (06:53):
It says your music walk me up from a coma?
Can we sing about this magic together?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Did you have any idea that Chris Martin wou would
pick you out from the crowd?
Speaker 6 (07:00):
You know, I thought there was a slight chance, but
I didn't know for sure, not at all. Yeah, because
there's a lot of great signs, right, He's helped so
many people. I mean, he's freaking Chris Martin.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
He just looks a good will. He's not Jesus Chris mouts.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
On stage and then you get to sing with him
sitting I mean, firstly, how surreal was that sitting?
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Well, first of all, he tied my shoe. I don't
know if you saw that on the thing he tied
my shoe. Oh my gosh. Yeah, it's it's pretty crazy.
It was a little embarrassing maybe, but Jesus, Jesus washed f.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
He's the most kind man ever, probably in the world.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:38):
People tell you they don't like Coldplay. You hear a
lot of these comments you don't like Chris Martin whatever.
I mean, I don't know how. Maybe we can disagree
on music, but you can't disagree that he's a pretty
great human being.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
Yeah, you know what I mean, the most lovely person. Yeah.
So yeah, that was crazy.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
And then just to see him and he's so sweet
and he's so kind and loving, and it's like, oh, yeah,
this isn't fake.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
It's not a fake act.
Speaker 6 (07:59):
He wasn't just trying to get a fan off the
stage or like hurry it up. He was just so
sweet and kind and I can.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Tell you in the moment with you, Yeah, yeah, did he.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
Have any words to say to you that maybe Roynolds
didn't hear.
Speaker 6 (08:13):
He just said, I love I love you, thank you
for you know everything, and I hope you continue to
do well. There was, yes, just some moments that said,
you know, will always be together.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Yeah, so what did that moment means to you?
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Because I mean, obviously, you come out of a coma,
you've gone through so much over the last while with health,
you know, with your health, get back to be able
to fly. It comes to New Zealand halfway around the world,
and then you're on stage with Chris Martin.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I mean, what did that mean?
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Well?
Speaker 6 (08:38):
And it's deeper than that, I think, because obviously there's
the com aspect coming back to life. It's huge right
to have the second chance in life, and I think
that's what it taught me more than anything. As I
take every moment, like sitting with you all right now,
I don't take anything for granted anymore.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
That's definitely not up there with Chris Martin.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
No, it's not, but it is.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
Actually, you know it is because I take every meeting
with people now, like everyone in New Zealand's been so
friendly and and you know all the fans I've also
met along the way, and like all the stories. Actually
it's all up there in some way. But the meeting
with Chris Martin was it goes way back before this
because you know, he's been with me since I was
like eight years old. In some way he inspired my
(09:16):
musical journey. I've been singing since I was a kid
and doing music and and so meeting him, you know,
it's brought me back to every moment I've sang with him.
I've harmonized with him since I was a kid. He
taught me, he taught me music, and so it was
like this human being who felt like a best friend
of mine in so many ways that I've like met
this best friend that I never had met before in person.
(09:40):
And I think that's why he woke me up from
the comas, because not just maybe the music, but it's
because it was like, hey, that's one of the family
members that I've actually known the closest in some ways.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
So you've been doing your vocal warmut for.
Speaker 6 (09:53):
Fifteen years, you were ready to gard so anyway, Yeah,
it was just crazy meeting him, and he was so
sweet and so kind and then I got thrown back
over the barricade again.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Thank you so much morning, It's been amazing to meet you.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
What did he smell like?
Speaker 6 (10:10):
This sounds really good from having jumped up and down
on stage and running around for that long. I don't
think any of us would have smelled that good after
I don't know I can speak for myself, but all
the questions.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
That actually, that's a really good question. Yeah, that's very normal.
Speaker 7 (10:28):
Thank you so much for hagging out the hits that
and Ben podcast the weekend.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
I my daughter has just started saying sentences, which is great,
it's cute, but she's started to get me into trouble.
So like in our house, you're gonna cringe. You guys
are gonna be of course, but we don't Andrew and
I don't. We don't go to the toilet like with
the doors open. We don't like lead each other, know
when you go to the toilet. We don't like far
(10:55):
in front of each other.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
We just keep that do you clinch you well, you
go to another that's you want to keep.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
It, like to keep that stuff between.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Us, although you never know what's turning when you're asleep
and he's.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
Awake because I always fall asleep first because we get
up early and stuff, and he always delights in telling
me a five, like I don't know my sleep. Yeah,
but yesterday my daughter and I were in the kitchen
and my husband's down the hallway and I was like,
this is safe territory.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I'm just gonna like to.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
Like dainty lady light.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Painted as dainty light.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
But anyone's Megan.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, it was. It was smell like an English meadow,
smell like roses.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
But my daughter looked at me and started smiling and
she was like, mummy, no poopy. And I was like no, no, no.
I was like no, no. She's like, no poopy mummy.
And Andrew's like, wait, what did she say?
Speaker 3 (12:00):
What she say She's like.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Mommy smelly.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
He was like, no, she didn't say anything.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
Don't worry, don't worry.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
So now she's like taken to calling me out and
kind of fun.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah. And the good thing is because can't read a
room too. They don't know when all goodness is around.
They don't just say whatever it's about to explode out
of their mouth, they'll just say it.
Speaker 4 (12:19):
She was literally like asking me if I poot myself?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Yeah, sounded like through mummy.
Speaker 7 (12:25):
It's a really bad smells that Jona wan Ben podcast now.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
On Friday and Christ to me for the the Christ Show.
And you're sort of trapesing around the place paying people
to have photos with us. That's what it's come to. Yeah,
they got prize money if you had a photo with us. Now,
there was something that was happening throughout the day. And
whenever you take photos in any sitting family, whatever, personal official,
(12:50):
there's always an awkward sort of three to five seconds
of silence whilst posing. Do you notice that, well, because well.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah, we've all like tried to talk through that awkwardness,
and you the photos look terrible, because you know, it's
better just to stop and do what what people have
done for centuries.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Just smile and stop, have a moment.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
You hit a great little thing that you don't do
it so often now. But he used to make a
little a little noise, like.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Just a little like a little balloon, like slowly litting
out here at the good I didn't realize I was
doing it.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
I used to get mocked for it at an old
radio station.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Let's just be like, it was like on the verge
of almost saying something, but then no exactly. So I'm
not a big fan of the silence. So I like
to you know, if we're, for example, at a farm,
you go, okay, let's say cows on the counter, three one, two,
(13:44):
three cows. Now, this is what I want to get
into the account of three I experienced over the weekend.
My daughter, she was like, let's do cookies on three
one two cookies roll. But know, when you think about it,
is she right because we're saying on the beating.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
But I generally everyone would say one two three cookie.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
I know.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
But have we been doing it wrong? Yeah, maybe we
have because you're saying on three, So that is that
is technically one two.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Also cookies make some sense. The reason we say cheese
is because it makes the smile.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Yeah, when you go cows and who knows what they're
doing for like cow, That's why cheese is the thing.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Just pick a random word that you want. It's like, oh,
we're on a farm, it's go cows. It was like cow.
Speaker 4 (14:36):
Cows at the show on Friday Thursday, and I was
like cows and no one else said cows.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Not even my mouth gonna be like cows. You have
to make a wide mouth cow.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
I was like cows by myself.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
That's why cheese has been the thing for years.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
If you find another word that makes me smart, like
makes it look like I'm smart to do.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
It, Prune's apparently a good one because it makes you.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Powert Okay, So if you're on a party photo, what
about course, yes, maybe the ship part.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
You can smile.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Anyway. There's just a timing on it. What do you
recond Do we go one two then the word or
one two three then the word?
Speaker 3 (15:16):
You probably could have got one two and then the
word because.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
It can throw off the algorithm if everyone's doing it
at different times, can't. So yeah, why don't you just go?
Speaker 4 (15:24):
Everyone say cheese?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
I reckon.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
The awkwardness has a lot to do with the photographer,
Like the photographer can can help if you get a great.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Photographer who talks through them. All right, guys, here we go.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Let's looking at your like there's no awkwardness, but said
someone stops and it's not.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
Otherwise you're just standing there cuddling stranger cutting.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Here the click These days on the phone, they're taking
the photo that I don't think they're like, yep, they
hand your phone.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
One of my favorite moments is when a camera is
handed over to a less than qualified photographer and they're
fumbling through wed a wonderful guy to SIGGI dingling out
of his mouth and his wife was like, you just
have a phone. I was like, you can get into
and then he was just sort of standing there with
the phone for a while, and I was like, oh,
I noticed his thumb's not moving or his fingers are
the movie was just sort of holding it and he's like,
(16:09):
I don't know what to do, and so then she
and then they have to go out of the embrace

a crash course and instruction, don't they.
Speaker 7 (16:17):
It's an all good moments that John wan Ben podcast

over the week.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
Your weekends, your live of the weekend, or your Buffalo,
which for some reason is the funny thing.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
But if we found out that if we each go.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
High low Buffalo, it takes too long, too much, so
that we can just choose one blows of weeks with
the content.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
He probably does that as well.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
So what are you going to go, Megan?
Speaker 4 (16:43):
I probably should go high?
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Right, you do what if you want? We're going to go.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
I'm going to go loath. Then I poured hot water
on my hand yesterday.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
On your carpal tunnel hand, which I.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
Was okay with because then I was like it's still
only one hand that's monthed.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
So my do I say that bandage is looking incredibly manky?
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Really, I'm really embarrassed about it.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
No, don't be like it's got because it's yellow and because.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
You considering it's been on for like over a week,
it's not too bad.

It's traveled, it's been all over the country, has been
to an a m P show. It's yeah, exactly, britten.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Lawn mowers, hitted animals, all sorts, and.

Speaker 2 (17:27):
It doesn't look that.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
Bad, right, cold plays everything bandages, I know, don't. It
definitely looks like I've poured four.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Of my head. What do you think sanitize the bandits?

No?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
What are we talking? Boiling water or just sort of?
Speaker 4 (17:45):
It was literally straight I boiled a pot of pasta
and then as I drained it, I decided to drain
it on my hands.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
It's a low. What about your high? Low or Buffalo?
Speaker 2 (17:55):
I'm going to go Buffalo, okay? And my Buffalo was
I spent probably about forty five minutes in a hole
about Buffalo researching Buffalo. Yeah, I was like, I don't
know much about them.

The Buffalo, the animal, Buffalo the place.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
Buffalo, the animal. Okay, fifty seven caves. Now they can run.
There's a lot. It's like, how bleak is your weekend?
This is the one thing it was a high or
a low or a buffalo. Well, I feel like none

go Buffalo. Yeah. Then six and a half feet tall.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Wow, wasn't it your birthday weekend?

almost like when the smoke alarm goes off, and you're
just like, that's there, and it's there, and I just
listened and from.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
Early in the morning, no one else in the house
was like did they their winding me up? There's some
native bird too.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Probably I'll try and record it because it was like, yeah,
I hadn't heard it before, but I was just like,
what is it?
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Noise? What is that noise?
Speaker 2 (19:13):
It's when you're zeroing on it, Yeah, and you wait
for it.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
Yeah, there it is again. I wake my wife up
so I can't hear it. I'm like, you can hear it.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
This is a guy here, sleeping is just not for him.
The reasoning is not for him.
Speaker 3 (19:24):
Clearly. I was like, I'm going to risk guys. I
needed the rest. I was after seven, so it.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
Was a little bit more of a sleeper than normal.
So yeah, so that was my It was geese. It
was the kind of a buffalo. Also a love of
the week.
Speaker 7 (19:37):
The hits that John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
It's just over a month's time and we're playing a
fun little game and you can play along to the
Mariah Carey game. You just have to see how long
you can go avoiding hearing All I Want for Christmas
from Mariah Carey.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
And then her rendition. Yes, so not any great covers
like Ben's rendition.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
I don't Christmas. There is just one thing I need.
The friends.

Oh God, you can listen to that. I don't know
why you want to, but you can listen to that.
Last week and we had Kayleie Bell and she's got
a new single out called Cowboy Up.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
It's great country jam.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
It's a great single, and we pitched it to her
that she should get involved with the game.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
I would love to play.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
You have to leave us know when you're out of
the game. That's all.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
At some stage when you hear it, it might be
scrolling through social media.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
Did you get to listen to it free?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Okay, you're just The only condition is you need to
let us know when you're out of the game.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Okay. So that was on Friday.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Now, Katie Bell messaged us over the weekend. She sent
us a voice memo. She's on tour at the moment
with Kane Brown in Australia, but here's a message.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Hey guys.
Speaker 8 (20:45):
Well, I was very excited to play the Christmas game.
Love Christmas, but I'd.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
Probably give it.
Speaker 8 (20:52):
About an hour after I was on here with you, guys,
jumped in the car and a Christmas ad came on
the radio, and I was really sad because I knew
my road to the game was done. And I mean
it's great now because I don't have to worry about
hearing the song. But ah, I just I don't know
(21:13):
how you guys are still in the game. I hear
that song all the time.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
She's out.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
You were scrolling through Instagram? Were you on Friday morning?
Speaker 7 (21:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Coincidentally, after we just spoke to two people who were
out and I was like, idiots, and then I sort
of scrolling.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
I don't know how I'm not out of the game
because I fizz everything Christmas and I haven't been actively
trying to avoid it.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
No, you say that every time you forget that you're
playing the game.
Speaker 4 (21:36):
I just keep going to the supermarket and I'm like
scrolling haphazardly on social media, but I haven't heard it.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
It's gonna come for us this week, Maria's coming for us.
Speaker 2 (21:46):
It's like COVID. You remember you're dodging COVID for that
sweet little period.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
No, no, no, I was just at the wall. That
was people.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
It's a location of interest and Mariah after I left,
they played it.

We'd love to know because well, it's your game too,
we'd love to know how are you playing it?
Speaker 3 (22:17):
And are you out or are you still on the game.
But because how long you've been playing it for, I'm
surprised you and I are still on it.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Me and we spoke.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Now Nicole, who's our friend in the US. She's the
host the radio show in New York. She had a
personal experience with Mariah Carey, who's a magnificent artist and
also a well publicized eva, and she's got every right
to be she's hugely successful. But have her listened to
this now?
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Yes?
Speaker 9 (22:40):
So Mariah Carey left us waiting for four hours.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Oh my boss.
Speaker 9 (22:45):
Never was like listen, like you guys, this is disrespectful,
this is wrong, Like our thing is like when people
are late, like you would never be late for live television,
like why, Like this is not okay. But it was
a Mariah So it was like this big deal and
it was late. It was much leader in the day.
So we're waiting, we're losing our minds, We're like playing games, we're.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Trying to wait.
Speaker 9 (23:02):
Then they have everything come in like like a big
platter of all her favorite things and the whole things,
and they said this, she has to have this. It's
demanded that she has this, just like almost like on
a rider and backstage of the show.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
What are some of her favorite things that need to
be on the phe It was.
Speaker 9 (23:16):
Like these special crackers, this like fruit plate. It was
like nothing that's special, but like specifically catered to her.
Speaker 10 (23:23):
Right.
Speaker 9 (23:24):
She finally comes in like nothing, like she hasn't left
us waiting, like it's no big thing, sits down, takes
the platter, pushes it to the side and goes, why
is this here?
Speaker 7 (23:35):
Like wo u?
Speaker 9 (23:38):
And it like fit on the ground like she pushed
it like I don't want less crap here.
Speaker 2 (23:43):
Four I mean four. Alice is wildly behind you. You
listen to the well and so obviously all she wanted
for Christmas was not the pla.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
And so I was you. She keeps saying, I don't
So there we go.
Speaker 2 (23:57):
You can do you two keep going, you keep us alive.
Speaker 7 (24:00):
That johonaan Ben podcasts, he's in concerts.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
You would have seen it all over social media, in
the news as well in New Zealand. Over one hundred
and fifty thousand people got to experience Coldplay.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
I wish they would never leave the country. I was
wonderful that the country just seemed fifteen percent happier. Were
and boy boy, you've really been flying from christ Church
on Friday and you go the stimulation of the local
economy being and Megan, I'm sure you would agree.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
Everyone on the plane when we were flying back to
Auckland was going to Coldplay than everyone.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Chris Martin just came over here and just sprayed stimulation
all over our economy.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
It's so good to see incredible concerts you have, seeing
the light up barm bands, everything like that as well.
And actually after eight o'clock this morning he joined us
before seven. We want to play it again, Dylan bowed.
He's from America.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
He was in a coma and Coleplay helped him out
of the coma. He got to sing with.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Chris Martin over the weekend. It was this Champagne.
Speaker 6 (24:51):
It says your music walk me up from a coma.
Can we sing about this magic together?
Speaker 1 (24:56):
Did you have any idea that Chris Martin would would
pick you out from the crowd?
Speaker 6 (24:59):
You know, I thought there was a slagh chance, but
I didn't know for sure.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
And he's got an amazing story and not only of
being on stage with Chris Martin, but when he was
in a coma. Yeah, and how it came out of
the coma. So yeah, he'll be with us. Just after
eight o'clock, brit.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Radkin does the news in the night show here on
the Hits. Now you've seen Colpe three times?

Yeah, I know, and I'll see them again. Yeah, they
are just so good.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
You go fourth.
Speaker 1 (25:22):

I went twice. I was lucky enough to go through
work on the first night, and then we bought tickets
for the Saturday night to take the kids.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Just incredible, like the best concert hand is down.
Speaker 10 (25:33):
Absolutely, that's such a great live band. I am a
bit obsessed with them, but I actually don't listen to
them a lot, but I think they're just the best
live band. So many of these songs are just made
for a live show.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Right, you would say so much for money if you
just did more listening to them and personal concert tickets,
I know.
Speaker 10 (25:51):
Well, actually get what I did do is I searched
up their careers page how do I join the tour?
How do I how do I get Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:58):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Have I got a career's page job?
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (26:00):
Vacancy jobs at colp plut it's going yeah, nothing. I
think they might be looking for an accountant or something.
Speaker 4 (26:10):
I want to put it past you to learn accounting
and join combat.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Incredible spectacle, as I said before, with the light up bracelets, coffiti,
you got balloons, everything.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
On the Confiti.
Speaker 10 (26:20):
So I I queued up for six hours outside the
stadium on Saturday just so I could get as close
to the stage as possible. I managed to get right
up front and I was next to the Confiti cannon.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
I thought I was going to die. Just went off NonStop.
Was it just blowing Confiti in your face the whole night?
Speaker 10 (26:38):
I feel like it was. It was the last show
of there tour this year. I'm like, right, we've got
I think they were like, we've got excess.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Let's just get rid of it.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
We don't want to take any of it with us.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
You'll be able to ask this question for me, though,
because it does go off multiple times in the show,
and it goes off with different colors and stuff. Is
he someone like reloading it packing?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
It.
Speaker 10 (26:56):
Yeah, and like swapping out the compressor tanks everything. Wow,
how are you still pulling pieces of confiti outside?
Speaker 2 (27:04):
So much confeiti?
Speaker 10 (27:05):
They say it's biodegradable, So I'm going to do a
wee better sign of course at home, I'm going to
see how biodegradable it is.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
My husband ate something to make it, like as a
potato starch or something.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
It's not. I love it.
Speaker 2 (27:16):
They're like, we can't diggle those comfiti big to England
with us.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
You're going to get rid of that.
Speaker 1 (27:19):
So six hours, that's a good bitment. You've traveled with
the Perth to see them as well?
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Yeah, a year ago today?
Speaker 2 (27:24):
Actually yeah, has he ever paid to see you Chris?
Speaker 10 (27:28):
No?
Speaker 2 (27:28):
But I think he did.
Speaker 10 (27:29):
See me in the crowd very briefly, did he?
Speaker 5 (27:32):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:32):
Did he give you a smile? I think he took it.
Might have been someone else take it. Thanks for taking
the head on all the.
Speaker 7 (27:40):

Blacks losing a close one to France by one point
over the weekend thirty points to twenty nine.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
They saw they were all the white Tops, Yes, and
that harks back to when they lost the quarter final
at the World Cup. Maybe it's the White Tops they're
called the All Blacks.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
Doesn't have the same manner, you know, you're right, yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
But it's quite confusing if they play and they're black,
and then you know France playing that really dark blue
it's like, yeah.

have thought she was gone years, right. Yeah, you don't
seem overly surprised because I know.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
That she was very young. With that one. So that one,
that one that doesn't overly she would have been watching Shreck.

Playing a Mariah Carey game for Christmas, so you can
play along till you can start right now.
Speaker 7 (33:36):
It's fine.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
All you have to do is try and avoid listening
to Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas for.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
As long as you can. Now. It needs to be
Mariah's rendition of the song, her professional recording of it,
and not this one.
Speaker 3 (33:48):
I don't want a lot for Christmas. There is just
one thing I need.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
You know. I feel like this version has more character. Yeah,
thanks me smile, but yeah, do you just want to
polish up, but you enjoy the tune.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
It's pretty shocking and my singing, so you can listen
to any other version. You just can't listen to Mariah's
if you're at court, in a mall or a shop,
or on social media and you do hear it.
Speaker 3 (34:15):
Like John I was on social media on Friday and
he was like, I'm out.

Quid game. It's brutally eliminated contestants and Kaylie Bell country
music superstar. I'm going to call her a superstar. She
was playing along with us too. She's like, damn right,

Hey, guys, well, I was very excited to play the
Christmas game. Love Christmas, but I'd probably give it. About
an hour after I was on here with you, guys,
jumped in the car and a Christmas ad came on
the radio, and I was really sad because I knew
my road to the game was done. And I mean,
(35:01):
it's great now because I don't have to worry about
hearing the song. But ah, I just I don't know
how you guys are still in the game. I hear
that song all the time for.

Speaker 4 (35:22):
Actually still in the game. But I'd love to listen
to it.
