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

of a rollercross was sorry. No, yeah, that wasn't the
right See, I told you.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Okay, so we've got a tough start but an easy finish.
That's what you're predicting.

Yeah, but also I could be wrong. Maybe you do answers.

that he was one getting married and then also had
a baby at the same time. My mom did I'm
(28:37):
sorry my namea did and and then later find out

Speaker 10 (30:53):
Well?
Speaker 12 (30:53):
I got I got contacted last year on Facebook messenger
and this woman was like, I'm pretty sure i'm your aunt,
And I said my dad wasn't adopted. So I was like, oh, okay,
and so we got we got to chatting, and she
told me my grandmother was still alive, who's ninety four
in Montana.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (31:11):
So, and I had been looking for her before, so
I did make a trek up there last year to
meet her and my aunt. And there's extra three children.
There's three boys as well, but my dad and his
dad were adopted out when my grandmother lost her husband
when she was really young, and she went to a
psych ward and then the psych word told her that the.
Speaker 9 (31:31):
Boys had died. Oh yeah, so she always thought that
the boys had died.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
It is She's got a whole life without knowing that
would they do.
Speaker 12 (31:41):
That because the people that she had given the children
to wanted to adopt the kids. And she said, no,
get better, I will come out. And then an attorney
came and said, oh, I'm so sorry they were gone.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
This is a lot I know.
Speaker 12 (31:56):
So when I met her, we couldn't really tell her
who I was because I don't think she really understands anymore,
having severe dimension, we can't really tell her who I am.
And then yeah, I did get to see her. So
that was my you know, finishing off my chapter, which
was pretty Yeah for.
Speaker 2 (32:11):

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

(37:04):
her life. So she was getting married right all right
at the day of the wedding. Kelly still there, She's
into it. Day of the wedding. Day of the wedding,
someone walks in on her groom, her husband to be
with the head bridesmaid. Oh, in a passion passionate embrace.

Speaker 12 (37:52):
Marriage cross it works out.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Kelly's staying around for that story. But I was like,
can you come on the radio. No one will even
believe me if I tell that story because people think
I make stories up. I can't. I was like, well,
you will give it authenticity that it needs.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
But crazy.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
So now her X is with.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
There off on.
Speaker 7 (38:18):
What did she do in that moment? Throw down or
just walk away?
Speaker 3 (38:21):
I thing just called it off? Yeah, always the one
about the guests. Obviously we're concern for her in that situation.
But the guests there, they're like, is the food have
a party or going on?
Speaker 8 (38:32):
Do you remember it was I telling you Ben, there
was a story about a woman who her husband was cheating,
and someone the night before the wedding had sent her
the screenshots of the sordid messages. It might have been
the woman in fact, and said I wouldn't marry him,
would you. She didn't know what to do, so she
just went along with the wedding, and when she's supposed
to do her vowels in front of all their friends
(38:53):
and family, she reads out the sordid text messages.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
That's waiting, that's a good place, skulks away.
Speaker 7 (39:01):
And then she has a party. She is the reception
with her friends and family.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
Right, so we checked this open. Okay, this might not happen,
This might not work as a high risk, high reward
takes full for its you even eight hundreds Okay, worst
wedding party people that were the groomsmen or the bridesmaids
that they just let you down on the big day.
You don't have to name them. But there's not no names,
(39:26):
but just what happened, what event took place where you're like, well,
that was the end of that friend.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
In some ways, I'd rather find out like that than
go through the wedding. Yeah, it's a horrible way to
find out, but you'd rather find out before the wedding. Absolutely,
you know, yeah, oh cold, Well, at least we can
in there flow on with our lives about two years later.
What hang on? This was happening the whole time, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
The Hats that jonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Now in Maracarra game that we are playing. Of course
you're playing along, so many people playing along with It's
been really great how this is captured everyone's imagination heading
into Christmas. You've just got to see how long you
can avoid listening to All I Want for Christmas by
Mariah Carey. If you hear it anywhere, no matter where
you are, I know, if you're scrolling through social media,
listening to the radio, whatever, you're out of the game.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
Yeah, do you reckon? Mariah has any idea how much
she's impacted our lives over the last three or four
weeks in the long New Zealand mean know some mu
should message you. But the Santa Parade Sunday, the Hits
are a proud partner of the Santa Parade and on
the float you just discovered two days ago that the
song was going.
Speaker 8 (40:28):
To be Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas. So
people in charge of that float. We're just going to
absolutely sabotage myself, beIN and met him who are still
in the game, and also anyone who was coming along
to watch the Santa Parade.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
Who was playing last out for two hours on loop.
As we go around and around, nothing but that song
is dancers. So the problem being that we can't change
the song. We've been told we can't change the song
because dancers who are around our float have learned choreography
to that song. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
Now we spoke to our boss for me. I mean
there's been accusations of malice behavior, defending of melice behavior.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
We were told that wasn't the song.
Speaker 7 (41:07):
Are we thought flighting? This all seems like fun and games,
But behind the scenes.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
We're told that that's why we chose chose that song.
That's what we're seeing.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
Front room meetings, back room meetings, up and met up,
steers meetings, meetings all over the place. Now we're trying
to find a solution for a fun Christmas game.
Speaker 8 (41:24):
Things are really Some people do serious work and then
there's us fighting over a sign for a.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Game that's no prize attached, no prize attached, there's nothing
but the glory, the glory and just how long can
we go?
Speaker 3 (41:39):
We'll just do a side poll. Do you think being
a megan and taking this a little too seriously?
Speaker 7 (41:43):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (41:44):
Honestly, I don't mind going out on sunnery, but I
just feel bad that we're trying to get all these
people playing this game, and they're potentially in the crowd.
They'll be like, oh thanks, guys, you know that we're
the ones to get them out.
Speaker 7 (41:54):
Are the biggest things to worry abut about in the world. Yes, absolutely,
I'm still very invested.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
I can't think of any nothing springing to mind at
the moment. So we have pictured, So pictured.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
We sorry.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
We pitched to our boss Matt that we changed the
song now to get around the whole dancers. They've learned
their routine. It's sort of something in that the same
beats per minute, so they're still they're timing that is
not thrown out. You're not thrown out, the people aren't
thrown out. It's a win win, it's a win win situation.
(42:27):
Now he's had to clear his calendar.
Speaker 2 (42:29):
He said, it's a big day two here the radio,
so he's clear his character calendar and that's always going
to work on Today's.
Speaker 7 (42:35):
Definitely a few men has to be a part of all.
Speaker 2 (42:37):
No, that's all about Maria today. Today is all about Mariah.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
So hopefully we'll have a resolution tomorrow and a new
song and announce announcement of a new song on the float.
Speaker 2 (42:47):
The news, the crushing news that we are playing nothing
but Mariah Carey for two hours.
Speaker 3 (42:52):
Many text saying your behavior is totally acceptable, no way
of more. Get more emotional about the cause. So thank you.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
Yeah, we appreciate everyone.
Speaker 3 (43:02):
He runs on board with us. Yeah, and we want
to be on board the float.
Speaker 1 (43:05):
The heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
Because we're trying to do a fun Christmas game, you know,
trying to avoid hearing Riah Carey song and we find
out just.
Speaker 7 (43:15):
Not much gets been boyed salty a couple of days ago.
Speaker 3 (43:19):
I love that he's like he's willing to die and
did show over this campaign. Yeah he is. Now you
discovered that I.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
Love doing stuff. We call them story arcs where people
we get involved and we bring people on the journey,
and I love doing them.
Speaker 7 (43:29):
And thinking about this one is there's no prize doing
it for glory.
Speaker 2 (43:34):
Everyone's getting in on it.
Speaker 3 (43:35):
So the magical thing is there's no money involved.
Speaker 2 (43:38):
Yeah we have.
Speaker 3 (43:38):
We haven't paid to any budget, no budget. This is
free campaign from starting to finish.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
Yeah. And there's a text coming through because our float
is going to be playing Mariah Carey's all I Want
for Christmas, someone's saying, why not give the immunity because
it's not you just you guys playing the game. The
rest of New Zealand are playing as well. That's what
someone saying on the text. That's true, and so we're
going to get all the people that potentially are playing
the game out on the It's not the whole point.
Speaker 8 (44:01):
Of this isn't Christmas Grint. We're not trying to like
be buzzkills for Christmas. I don't want anyone to not
go to the parade because they're trying to kno hearm RYO.
Speaker 3 (44:09):
But if that's what it takes, those are the links
we're willing to go to. Now we have had patch
that we changed the song on the float. Now Matt
our boss is going away's talking to the people and
he's going to try and come up with a solution
end eop into play today, which will have you tomorrow
on the show. Lindsey, You're chiming in on this.
Speaker 10 (44:26):
Yeah, I thought i'd come up with a solution, and
I think I've got a reasonable solution.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
What's that.
Speaker 10 (44:34):
The solution is you've got hidden in the safe back
there at your studio. There, You've got a gold card,
and you can pull the gold card out.
Speaker 3 (44:43):
This is the day of rest, Sunday, the day of
the rest day.
Speaker 10 (44:49):
Yeah, so everybody, so that everybody can go to the parade,
can pull out the gold card and have a day
of rest.
Speaker 7 (44:57):
Just rest the rules for Mariah. That's amnesty.
Speaker 3 (45:02):
Speaking of which we've heard, are you currently inseminating cows?
Did you have to pull out your armor from a
cow to call us?
Speaker 10 (45:08):
Yeah? Well, I'm just going to be just short of
ten thousand cows for the season.
Speaker 3 (45:14):
You've stuck your arm inside ten thousand cows?
Speaker 10 (45:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (45:17):
Oh well, how many can.
Speaker 7 (45:19):
You do on a day?
Speaker 10 (45:21):
The biggest day I did was about four hundred and thirty.
Speaker 3 (45:24):
It's a lot of cows. You put yourself inside the.
Speaker 10 (45:28):
It's an intimate situation.
Speaker 2 (45:31):
Oh good for doing it.
Speaker 7 (45:32):
Give them a pet first.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
You don't want to know where his cell phone is
at the moment. Right now, he's talking to us.
Speaker 3 (45:38):
That's how next story are Lindsay comes up here and
insiminates men.
Speaker 2 (45:46):
Let's see we appreciate your go we have a great day.
Speaker 10 (45:48):
You too, thank you? Yes, some old card?
Speaker 2 (45:51):
Okay god card. Neil's got a great text. He's that
guys stopping selfish? Are you hurting two people with this one? Maddie,
he needs to listen to his Christmas he loves Mariah Carey,
and to Mariah Carey she needs a few weeks of
royalties to pay for the next mansion. Selfish, selfish Neil.
Speaker 3 (46:08):
He's also agnoying the text, the hordes of text that say,
just play Ben's version of the song Oh God next,
because it's not the Mariah version.
Speaker 7 (46:16):
A lot of solution that I pitched. Our boss did
poopoo this morning.
Speaker 2 (46:20):
We can listen to other ones, can't we AI don't
want a lot for Christmas. Orgies are gone too fast.
Speaker 3 (46:29):
We'll re record it without the and lims in between.
Speaker 2 (46:31):
I don't think I could get any better even with
re recording. But maybe I'm wrong. But lots of people
saying that someone's saying, who the something cares? Just play
the song killed the game, so they go, oh, okay,
what do you want to say?
Speaker 3 (46:42):
Quickly on this one.
Speaker 9 (46:44):
I'm still lost with Lindsey there.
Speaker 7 (46:46):
Sorry, no right, we're all coming over anyway.
Speaker 9 (46:53):
I'm more than happy to not hear Mariah.
Speaker 12 (46:57):
Sorry, I'm still in the game, and I actually do
prefer your version.
Speaker 3 (47:01):
Oh you like the bean voice version?
Speaker 1 (47:03):
We all do.
Speaker 2 (47:08):
There we go, we got there. No take bags, no
take two. I don't want the Christmas bread as well.
Speaker 8 (47:20):
Great thing is if it's if we play it on
the float in the Santa Parade. Anyone watching only hears
it for like five minutes while we passed by.
Speaker 7 (47:25):
I saw, on the other hand, hours that.
Speaker 3 (47:30):
Love your cool. Do you go and have a great day?
And they have a cap and tea and a lie
down after what Lindsay said he's doing
With the John and Ben podcast. Cheers to Dilma making
the world a bitter Tea to.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
The podcast on a Thursday. We didn't do an intro
for the podcast yesterday because we had to rush off
to the week Bex Kids strath One.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
Apologies to the podcast audience. We know you would have
been heartbroken.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
I know it.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Just what is this? What is some listening to you?
Even though I've selected it on wherever I get my
podcasts and anyway, very confusing. Start, I get it. That's
on us. It's one of those days. But apparently we've
just heard that there was an intro provided by lovely
producers Grace Ellie. They came on and they did an
intro and I think they mocked us.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Apparently did you mock us? Hellly? No, Okay, we'll take
you back to this podcast intro twenty four hours earlier.
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Hello, welcome to the podcast. Hello, Oh my name is
My name is Ben?
Speaker 6 (00:48):
And is that you over there? John O? It's me
your name? No, hello, these are unfamiliar voices. She probably.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
You didn't commit to the role.
Speaker 7 (00:57):
No, no, I really begged up quite quickly.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Do the same thing that I do, because I'm no
good at impressions. So you have to say the persons.
It's me John, you know, it's been You have to
say the names, and people go, oh, that's who they're
trying to be.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Notice No Megan impersonation.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
We don't.
Speaker 6 (01:13):
We don't even mock Meghan. I thought that was quite accurate.
Speaker 7 (01:17):
Not I thought they were great all the time.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Johnny comes in and it's me John.
Speaker 7 (01:27):
Has been a said hello, hello, hello.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Oh yeah, probably yeah, that sounded a lot like me,
to be honest, chameleon and voices.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Yeah, very good. Well, yeah, we go what's the real arsole?
Is it? It's me who said that? We'll never know,
but enjoy the podcast. Now, the Mariah Carey game that
we've been playing. You've been playing along with us, so
many people texting and calling about it. It's simple to play.
You can start now, that's fine. Just try and avoid
for as long as possible hearing Mariah Carey's all I
(01:56):
want for Christmas as soon as you hear it. And
a shop and a store and the supermarket, social media,
wherever are you out of the game now?
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Hi, Drama has hit the game over the last forty
eight hours, where the hits they are a proud partner
of the Santa Parade. We all go on there, we
smile and wave, kiss babies, and we stand on a float. Now,
every year, the float's got a song that plays on
loop drives you to the point of insanity. And previously
it has been all I Want for Christmas.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I've had that one. Yeah, yeah, me it was a
jingle bar Ro I think rock last year.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
Yeah, and what did you discover just days ago.
Speaker 8 (02:29):
That the song was going to be Mariah Carey All
I Want for Christmas.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
It's the situation we were in.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Well, yeah, it puts us out of the game, Meaga
and puts you, me, Maddie and anyone playing the game
in the office and along the Sanda Parade, the Farmer's
Santa Parade. Anyone there listening, well, they're what about it?
The other game by us?
Speaker 8 (02:46):
We knew that was going to be a high risk
situation going to the Christmas Parade. We might hear it there,
but we didn't expect it to be our float. Like
definitely all of us out plus playing it to everyone
who was going to be playing the game as well.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Tell you what, Seymour, with your bloody treaty principles, Bill,
you step aside, mate, there's a new nationwide drama.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Don't compare this.
Speaker 3 (03:07):
He always decided to turn around and go back to
over the I've just had the message.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
No, I don't even that even the same sentence.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
It's high drama, though, and we're trying to find a solution.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
It's not high drama compared to that. That's nothing lower
drama competed to the drama compared to that.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
And now will is drama okay, And we tried to
find solutions to this yesterday.
Speaker 9 (03:29):
Yeah, yeah, I reckon that you should just play the
instrumental version on the float and then the dancers can just.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Start to that thought.
Speaker 10 (03:40):
The dancers have learnt the song. Yeah, so put their
headphones on, you get them playing the song, and you
blast what music you want out of the out of the.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Sounds like a huge budget costs for head.
Speaker 8 (03:56):
I think these guys just exclude someday out of it
all together.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
So he has a great solutions yesterday. Now we have
management on the phone because.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Part of the problem we needed a sorry say that
the front is because we couldn't change the song we
were told because there's dancers dancing around.
Speaker 8 (04:09):
The float choreographed to dance to that song.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Now, Matt Anderson from The Horse full name Matthew Anderson, Welcome,
How are.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
You good morning, Johnathan Richard Pryor, I'm good, how.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Are you hi? Drama they're talking.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Please make me feel very uncomfortable.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
I like making you feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Job, same sentences.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
That. That's why I come to work every day, to
make them feel uncomfortable. But Matt, where are we at
with us?
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Well?
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Yes, let's have taken up in an ordinary amount of
time over the last hours. But honestly, I just want
to say, you guys going to the Center parade on
Sunday and expecting not to hear Mariah Carey as like
someone fasting wandering into a buffet, it's not going to be.
Speaker 7 (04:49):
Well, nossibility, we won't.
Speaker 8 (04:53):
Yeah, you're just putting the song on the float blows
us all out.
Speaker 7 (04:57):
Definitely.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Again, as I say, it's just taken up an absolutely
anordinate amount of time. Well then, okay, I just thought
I'm trying to do we are this is something that
obviously has read It's here. Months and months of planning
goes into this. There is dancing co ordination, there are
changes between all of the floats, but obviously, as you know,
(05:22):
the rest of our promotions three the best in the
business here and I have cleared our entire calendar today
to ensure that by end of business there will be
a solution delivered to everyone.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
All I want for Christmas is a fair and reasonable
outcome for this drama. Now, can we put something a
change of song, a change of song with the same
beats permanent so it doesn't affect the dancers sets?
Speaker 7 (05:44):
Yeah, we did, We did come with a solution.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
What song would that be?
Speaker 7 (05:50):
Original? Sort of?
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Oh no, we can't play no, no, no, we can't
do my version.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
You don't want your version cover?
Speaker 7 (05:58):
I yess you call it?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Yeah, your version's the best version, Ben.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
This could play. We don't want a lot. That's an option,
but there might be some other songs that are beare options. Man,
I'm not a musical person.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
Clearly, as I say, we will spend the entire day weeks.
But I can immediately say that I am not comfortable
subjecting one hundred thousand people to.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Neither of mind Matte, to be honest with you, well,
hopefully Chatt, you tomorrow the calendar that some sort of outcome.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
All right, calendar is clear guys. By the end of day,
we will have a solution.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Great away from that one the heads that jonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Megan, you wanted to chat about something that will sit
you used through.
Speaker 7 (06:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (06:44):
So I'm a real risk of sounding like a jerk
here and it's really not my intention. So I had
mentioned this before to producer Alie that whenever we go
out to some kind of work thing where they might
be listeners there, always get this comment, and I did
get it yesterday when we were out for the weep
ex trasform. And it's mint with the best intentions. I
(07:06):
know it is because they're always smiling when they say
to me. But I'm interested to see whe you think.
This is kind of a backhanded compliment. So every time
I go out, I get the comment, oh, you're so
much prettier in real life.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Well, I guess the radio they can't see, yeah, and
ugly people are on the radio in real life.
Speaker 8 (07:35):
Would seeing me before on something like maybet of our
social media video or something like that. But I'm kind
of like taken back by every time I've seen you before,
you're well.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
They thought you were ugly, and social media you've taken
it that way. But they could say, hey, Megan's pretty,
but in real life even more pretty. Producer, really you.
Speaker 7 (08:01):
Need a girl, because Alie, you did cringe.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
I did.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
And I've had it myself too because people see me
on the internet and then we'll say things like that.
And again I know people mean, well, I really do know.
Speaker 6 (08:12):
That's yeah.
Speaker 7 (08:12):
It was mean and the biggest intention.
Speaker 5 (08:14):
But it is a little bit backhanded, like I'd rather
just you're really pretty full stop there.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
Better than hey glass half feel better than you're uglier
than in real life. It's a win, but.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
It's always in real life.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
Yeah, real life is different.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
They can see all your dimensions.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah, maybe you seeking with someone, Yeah, something pops into
your head you so you blurred it out and sometimes
you walk away and you're like, oh, that probably didn't.
It wasn't intended to be.
Speaker 7 (08:46):
Like that, but it always puts me. I don't know
what to say to that. I'm always like, oh, well.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
If you want to make yourself feel bitter, I've hunted
out from the archives wonderful piece of audio when a
fan ran into us. Okay, this will make you feel
better about that.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
That's right. This was the two of us, wasn't it.
I love your mate. Hey, you look old now, so
maybe that was we were No, yeah, I was before.
(09:26):
We look great now. No, I can't. I can't quite
spend that.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
But anyway, ask if it was something you always get
like are you sure? Or are you tall?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Or you look old? Now's never get out rights the
Jonan Ben podcast. Yesterday we went along to the week
Books Keep the Kids Triathon, which is so much fun.
It's awesome to be part of it, and so many
kids around the country have taken part over thirty three years,
almost half a million kids over the years, which is incredible.
Such a sense of achievement when they cross the finish line.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Did you notice too, the because we were in seeing
Megan and you noticed that. So the kids, they'll get
you to come sign my shirt, sign my.
Speaker 8 (10:04):
Crocs, sign my middlesh and honestly, and I'm not saying
this is a joke.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
I reckon they'll get home and eighty percent of those
kids would have had no idea who scribbled with a
permanent marker on thee Else is yeah, get caught up
at the moment I signed a couple of four heads,
sign a couple of four I was against my bit
of judgment as a parent, I was like, I shouldn't
do this and do it. They would have got home like,
who's scribbled on your forehead with a villa and they
(10:32):
wouldn't have even been able to name the name. I
wouldn't have thought.
Speaker 8 (10:36):
I Actually I signed someone's shoes as well. I was like, Oh,
your parents are going to come back.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
That's what you do as a kid.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
They get swept up, they get swept up and signing kids.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
You know.
Speaker 8 (10:45):
The one moment that got to me yesterday, I think
you guys were there at the finish line and when
one girl crossed over the finish line and her mum
just swept her up in a cuddle and.
Speaker 7 (10:53):
She was like, I'm so proud of you.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
I'm so proud of you.
Speaker 7 (10:56):
I was like, Oh, when your parents say that, you're
like that was awesome.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
It was awesome to see, and it was awesome to host.
We did some bits throughout the day and there at
the end to it, there's a bit of a price kipping.
There's some all surprises that everyone hangs around for and
you had to whip off for another appointment because it
was running a little bit late. Megan and so the
two of us. You're like, you guys can handle it. Well, yeah,
of course we've done this before many times. We can
handle this, but maybe we couldn't.
Speaker 7 (11:20):
Maybe you could.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Maybe we couldn't handle it because we lost the room.
You start reading out the numbers, the BIB numbers, the
winning numbers of who's going to get, say a bike
from Evo Cycles, and you're like, okay, the first numbers
are sex. Everyone's like yeah, because we've all got sex,
and they all stand up and then they sit down
when they don't obviously hear their number. They're like sex three.
We start to lose people, and as they start to
(11:42):
lose kids, they've grown on.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Mass don't make you beat.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
We're disappointing. So yeah, really we shouldn't do it like
that because you think about all the thousands of people.
Now only one's going to be happy.
Speaker 7 (11:54):
One's happy, the rest are extremely disported.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
And then then once you call out the final number,
and if the person hasn't come forward to collect their bike, boy,
oh boy, they turn on you. The mob turn on you.
They start chanding raw right away and we're like no, no,
the winner's back and they've tuned up and then boom
en mass the mob. They turned fearal on us.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
We've got boots.
Speaker 7 (12:18):
Have you been by myself last year? No? Not one boot?
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Honest, a humbling experience being booed by thousands of children.
I'm blaming social media for the impatience levels too. They're
courtly chining for a redraw within zero point five of
a second.
Speaker 7 (12:34):
They can't swipe you away, that's right.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
So yeah, we're in the family friendly era of our broadcasting.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Maybe not, it's gonna be nice, it's give me fine,
But they're wonderful events throughout the country and if you
sign up have you never done one before? They're incredible.
There's a whole lot happening in the new year as well,
so get all the details at that stock cod on
it after eight o'clock.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
We're after eight o'clock, mate, don't you worry about that.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Well, I'm trying to say that so our boss doesn't
realize after eight o'clock is definitely not.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
The John and Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Well, you know you have a bit of a beef
with the council giving your tickets all the time, John.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
And they've got just a hit job on me.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
To be honest, it's because you don't pay for parking.
But we keep telling you that and the.
Speaker 7 (13:13):
Police you keep breaking the speed on it.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yeah exactly. But there are people getting a bit annoyed
with the council in Auckland because they've been fined for
parking on their own driveway covering the footpath. Well yeah, yeah,
well within a meter either side of the driveway you
can't basically park. But sometimes on those tight streets people like,
we've got no other option inside our driveway.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
So I understand, and money grubbing councils across the country,
not just Auckland, just looking to make a buck wherever
they can. Technically, yes, that's their land, isn't it, the
footpath and the driveway. Yeah, but you know what else
do you mean to do? Have You've got like yellow
lines on both the sides of your street, park.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Your car, parent of car, bat your car there. So yeah,
people getting a little bit upset that. Sometimes they feel
like we're not blocking anything, but we're still getting fined.
Speaker 8 (14:10):
Well, they're blocking the foot path, aren't they.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Well yeah, I think it's debatable whether it is or
they're not. According to this people they're not.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
But yeah, I'm actually hosting something for the Council on Sunday.
I'll ask some questions.
Speaker 7 (14:19):
Are park on your berm?
Speaker 1 (14:21):
No?
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Probably not, probably not.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
I guess, yeah, that's what that's always Sorkland is just
cars on swapper crates on birds. It's like the decoration
of the antiques of the West. Now, I think, potentially
I could be a really horrible person, and I want
to know if you would have done the same thing
in the situation. Okay, picture this at the petrol station
and I'm doing the at the pump because now you
(14:45):
just pay the pump.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
It's wonderful.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Take me card, don't even have to go inside and
be bombarded with would you like some SCENTI bars?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
So I'm glad you got onto it. Yeah, Like they
opened up the thing for me and I just paid
the pump. Yeah, the pump.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Yeah, it's pretty beautiful. Yeah, because there was a period
there be on the fore court and you know when
you're stuck the nozzle in your thing and they haven't
released then released the petrol because they don't trust you.
Speaker 7 (15:06):
You'll not pre paid.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Yeah, pump, great invention.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Sometimes I put my hands down. Trustworthy guy. You know,
you're like the surrender.
Speaker 7 (15:14):
They can see you and They're like no, it's.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
Not fine for the council or the police. It's like,
what would they let.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
This guy anyway? So inside though, I can see someone
that I knew, and I was like, I'm really late
for an appointment, okay, And I don't have time to
talk to this person because sadly they've just been through
a breakup. Their wife's just left them. Okay, now this
is not like I would talk to them any other day,
but if I ran into them, this is longer than
(15:40):
a ninety second. How you're going gotta go? I can't
just be hey, sorry, life left you, man. I've got
an appointment I need to get to. So I'm like, okay,
I can't let him see me. And it's a race
against time. And it's reached that period of the petrol
delivery where it's drizzling out the last sort of it
was like the last ten cents worth take about five.
Speaker 7 (16:00):
Hours, and I was right down.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
I've noticed he's noticed me through the glass or he's
standing in line. So I'm like, okay, all right, racing
gets terristic boom, picture just shove the nose or back
of the thing I'm in the car, and the ration
I'm pretending that I haven't seen him, and then I'm
driving off. He's walking out of the doors of the
picture stage.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
Luck. I don't love.
Speaker 7 (16:20):
Where you're going.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
I don't know, but I heard.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
I heard it. I heard it.
Speaker 3 (16:24):
My windows were down. I heard it, and you drove
away ignored.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Well, yeah, because you're you're not You're great talking to people,
but you're not very good at moving on. You're not
good at front fill and going hey, hey, great to
see you. I'm just on the way to a meeting.
But because people aren't stand there, I feel like if
people need to go, they're like, get it, but you
like stop and we're like, we're late, John O, why
are you talking? You're still talking, So I get it.
In that situation, you couldn't have done a quick hey man,
I'd love to catch up and think about your lots.
I'm really late for a meeting. I'll give you a call.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
You know, it would have been a great thing to say.
I would have wrapped it up, brilliant. How are you
on the on the floor.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
Yeah, but I know that you probably would have actually
seen that. It would have probably gone, yeah, really see it.
I'll give you a calls. Really late, but I've been
thinking about you and so I need on you.
Speaker 3 (17:09):

Okay, so windows down and yelling your name.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
Yeah, I was going to blame the bed hearing from
the radio, but there you go.
Speaker 8 (17:20):

the yelling my name, but I would have.

Got hat you same thing. See, I'm just really running people,
understand you're running for stuff.
Speaker 3 (17:29):

You've gone off that.
Speaker 2 (17:37):

Sorry, sorry, that was a bit. That was a bit
of a rollercross was sorry. No, yeah, that wasn't the
right See, I told you.
Speaker 3 (18:33):

Speaker 12 (31:41):
That because the people that she had given the children
to wanted to adopt the kids. And she said, no,
get better, I will come out. And then an attorney
came and said, oh, I'm so sorry they were gone.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
This is a lot I know.
Speaker 12 (31:56):
So when I met her, we couldn't really tell her
who I was because I don't think she really understands anymore,
having severe dimension, we can't really tell her who I am.
And then yeah, I did get to see her. So
that was my you know, finishing off my chapter, which
was pretty Yeah for.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
You to have a whole nother part of your life
and your family that you didn't know about as well.
Speaker 12 (32:16):
Yeah, three uncles and an aunt.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Yeah that is so costic. They would do that.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
So yeah, that she didn't ever know that the whole life.
That was Yeah. Wow, thank thank you so much for sharing.
That's an unbelievable sorry, amazing story. Thank you so much.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
No worries, She's had a great day. Yeah, have a
great day. She'd start up a show, like, you know,
a chat show where people just come on and hear
the family dirty laundry. There'd be a show and now
and there.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
Posted it a laundry mat.
Speaker 3 (32:45):
Dirty laundry.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
I mean then always did it, Lauder, I guess it's
a dirty laundry. Well, we are still cleaning the dirty
laundry in the background because we couldn't book the whole
thing out. It's a four.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
Minutes and winter. We'll start hosting it next week. Day
Laundry coming soon.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
The Heads That johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Yesterday we went along to the first of eleven week
Books triathlons for kids around the country. It's been going
for over thirty years and this year they'll have over
five half a million kids. Five hundred thousand kids would
have taken part over those thirty three years.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
Did you do it?
Speaker 7 (33:20):
No, I don't think it was that. I was at
school a while ago.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
I mates that. Yeah, I feel like it was just
towards the end of our time as well. But it's
huge j and it's amazing to go along and see.
Speaker 7 (33:31):
Also, I wasn't a big like running fan.
Speaker 3 (33:35):
Running does suck, like, let's even I imagine professionally do
a bit of it though, and it sucks. I do
run and I hate every party. But then you're like
it's good for you, you know, right, But you never
know anyone looks like they' having a great time running.
Speaker 7 (33:47):
We asked some of the kids yesterday, like, what's your
favorite part?
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Is that?
Speaker 7 (33:51):
The running, biking, all the swimming and heaps themselves running?
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Yeah, And I was like really when I did the
treathon and I preferred the biking on the Penny Father,
I felt that was not ike ks on the Pinno.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
But we went along there and we were hosting, you know,
mem seeing shouting stuff out over the microphone, which is great.
Then we went along to the finish line and it
was really cool to watch. They had some great ambassadors,
some black Ferns, Paralympians as well, Olympians giving across the
metal at the finish line, and there was something that
you you noticed that the hype people were doing well.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
They were calling out the kids' names, weren't they and
the kids yeah, And it would really surprise the kids
to be like, well, don Nathaniel, you did it well?
You know high five and Nathaniel's yeah, Beckyard.
Speaker 7 (34:34):
Every single time you're like, I go, how how do
you know? All these kids.
Speaker 3 (34:37):
Making great hype people? And then they led us in
on a little secret that their names were in very
small font on their bibs, you know, with the numbers
the race number.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Yeah, tiny not for them.
Speaker 7 (34:50):
Young eyes were like, but they're coming.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
Over the finish line and they're running and they're slowing down.
You're trying to look at their name. But John, you
decided to do it, and I wanted to make the
kids feel special, But it made you look a bit
weird as you were sort of crouching down, leaning.
Speaker 7 (35:03):
Crouch down. You're like leaning and squinting at them as
they're coming towards you. Like, you look weird.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
I think I recorded to audio at the moment we're
here the weep Bigs Kids Triathlon, John O, you're looking
kind of weird. What's going on?
Speaker 3 (35:14):
Well, you can freak the kids out, which is not
a great start to a sentence, is it. But you
can scare them because they've got their name them.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
People are encouraging the kids when they get across.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
The line and you can find their name on their
bid right, but it's written in tiny fond so what
you're up doing is squinting and steering at the abdomen
to try and get their name, and they look at
you very unusually.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
I love the supporter squat. There so much support and
it's so heart warming to be part of this. It's
such an amazing event and the scene of achievement with
the kids cross the line. It's great up until when
John I bends down and tries to read their name
and that kind of wears them out.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Yeah. Sometimes you just catch the name as they passed you.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
You're like.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
This little girl turns around and she's like, thanks strange,
old Ben.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
What I did to do it? One? Stage two was
like there was two people heading up. They had two
things of water, so there was water. They were the
first two people and you were standing behind them with
two things of water. I was like, well, I'm not
going to need sex classes of water back up waters
four yeah, yeah. And then Johnno was behind as well.
So there was two people at the front. They had water,
and then Johnno was behind them, and I was like, well,
(36:25):
John water.
Speaker 3 (36:27):
Don't know when you run a Traythlon, one little cup
of water's not enough anyway, So no one wanted my water.
No one wanted to be calling the names out.
Speaker 1 (36:35):
The heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
Take Kelly, no, excuse me prying into your private life.
Speaker 9 (36:40):
You're married, I'm getting married next year.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
It now you stay on the line because Kelly, I
want you to listen to this as well. Now we're
at an event use today and I got talking to
a lady and she's like, here's a story for your
radio shown and I was like, love it, feed it
to me. So she currently in the throes of reorganizing
(37:04):
her life. So she was getting married right all right
at the day of the wedding. Kelly still there, She's
into it. Day of the wedding. Day of the wedding,
someone walks in on her groom, her husband to be
with the head bridesmaid. Oh, in a passion passionate embrace.
Speaker 2 (37:32):
All right, so supposed she was about married with the bridesmaid.
Speaker 7 (37:36):
How did you not get that week?
Speaker 3 (37:37):
I was sticking my head rounded again, Yeah, land of
take two weeks like John, Yeah, crazy story.
Speaker 10 (37:46):
Yeah, my head's bridesmaid is my sister in law, so I.
Speaker 12 (37:52):
Marriage cross it works out.
Speaker 3 (37:58):
Kelly's staying around for that story. But I was like,
can you come on the radio. No one will even
believe me if I tell that story because people think
I make stories up. I can't. I was like, well,
you will give it authenticity that it needs.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
But crazy.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
So now her X is with.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
There off on.
Speaker 7 (38:18):
What did she do in that moment? Throw down or
just walk away?
Speaker 3 (38:21):
I thing just called it off? Yeah, always the one
about the guests. Obviously we're concern for her in that situation.
But the guests there, they're like, is the food have
a party or going on?
Speaker 8 (38:32):
Do you remember it was I telling you Ben, there
was a story about a woman who her husband was cheating,
and someone the night before the wedding had sent her
the screenshots of the sordid messages. It might have been
the woman in fact, and said I wouldn't marry him,
would you. She didn't know what to do, so she
just went along with the wedding, and when she's supposed
to do her vowels in front of all their friends
(38:53):
and family, she reads out the sordid text messages.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
That's waiting, that's a good place, skulks away.
Speaker 7 (39:01):
And then she has a party. She is the reception
with her friends and family.
Speaker 3 (39:04):
Right, so we checked this open. Okay, this might not happen,
This might not work as a high risk, high reward
takes full for its you even eight hundreds Okay, worst
wedding party people that were the groomsmen or the bridesmaids
that they just let you down on the big day.
You don't have to name them. But there's not no names,
(39:26):
but just what happened, what event took place where you're like, well,
that was the end of that friend.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
In some ways, I'd rather find out like that than
go through the wedding. Yeah, it's a horrible way to
find out, but you'd rather find out before the wedding. Absolutely,
you know, yeah, oh cold, Well, at least we can
in there flow on with our lives about two years later.
What hang on? This was happening the whole time, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1 (39:47):
The Hats that jonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Now in Maracarra game that we are playing. Of course
you're playing along, so many people playing along with It's
been really great how this is captured everyone's imagination heading
into Christmas. You've just got to see how long you
can avoid listening to All I Want for Christmas by
Mariah Carey. If you hear it anywhere, no matter where
you are, I know, if you're scrolling through social media,
listening to the radio, whatever, you're out of the game.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
Yeah, do you reckon? Mariah has any idea how much
she's impacted our lives over the last three or four
weeks in the long New Zealand mean know some mu
should message you. But the Santa Parade Sunday, the Hits
are a proud partner of the Santa Parade and on
the float you just discovered two days ago that the
song was going.
Speaker 8 (40:28):
To be Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas. So
people in charge of that float. We're just going to
absolutely sabotage myself, beIN and met him who are still
in the game, and also anyone who was coming along
to watch the Santa Parade.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
Who was playing last out for two hours on loop.
As we go around and around, nothing but that song
is dancers. So the problem being that we can't change
the song. We've been told we can't change the song
because dancers who are around our float have learned choreography
to that song. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (40:57):
Now we spoke to our boss for me. I mean
there's been accusations of malice behavior, defending of melice behavior.
Speaker 2 (41:05):
We were told that wasn't the song.
Speaker 7 (41:07):
Are we thought flighting? This all seems like fun and games,
But behind the scenes.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
We're told that that's why we chose chose that song.
That's what we're seeing.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
Front room meetings, back room meetings, up and met up,
steers meetings, meetings all over the place. Now we're trying
to find a solution for a fun Christmas game.
Speaker 8 (41:24):
Things are really Some people do serious work and then
there's us fighting over a sign for a.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Game that's no prize attached, no prize attached, there's nothing
but the glory, the glory and just how long can
we go?
Speaker 3 (41:39):
We'll just do a side poll. Do you think being
a megan and taking this a little too seriously?
Speaker 7 (41:43):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (41:44):
Honestly, I don't mind going out on sunnery, but I
just feel bad that we're trying to get all these
people playing this game, and they're potentially in the crowd.
They'll be like, oh thanks, guys, you know that we're
the ones to get them out.
Speaker 7 (41:54):
Are the biggest things to worry abut about in the world. Yes, absolutely,
I'm still very invested.
Speaker 3 (42:00):
I can't think of any nothing springing to mind at
the moment. So we have pictured, So pictured.
Speaker 2 (42:07):
We sorry.
Speaker 3 (42:07):
We pitched to our boss Matt that we changed the
song now to get around the whole dancers. They've learned
their routine. It's sort of something in that the same
beats per minute, so they're still they're timing that is
not thrown out. You're not thrown out, the people aren't
thrown out. It's a win win, it's a win win situation.
(42:27):
Now he's had to clear his calendar.
Speaker 2 (42:29):
He said, it's a big day two here the radio,
so he's clear his character calendar and that's always going
to work on Today's.
Speaker 7 (42:35):
Definitely a few men has to be a part of all.
Speaker 2 (42:37):
No, that's all about Maria today. Today is all about Mariah.
Speaker 3 (42:41):
So hopefully we'll have a resolution tomorrow and a new
song and announce announcement of a new song on the float.
Speaker 2 (42:47):
The news, the crushing news that we are playing nothing
but Mariah Carey for two hours.
Speaker 3 (42:52):
Many text saying your behavior is totally acceptable, no way
of more. Get more emotional about the cause. So thank you.
Speaker 2 (43:00):
Yeah, we appreciate everyone.
Speaker 3 (43:02):
He runs on board with us. Yeah, and we want
to be on board the float.
Speaker 1 (43:05):
The heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (43:07):
Because we're trying to do a fun Christmas game, you know,
trying to avoid hearing Riah Carey song and we find
out just.
Speaker 7 (43:15):
Not much gets been boyed salty a couple of days ago.
Speaker 3 (43:19):
I love that he's like he's willing to die and
did show over this campaign. Yeah he is. Now you
discovered that I.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
Love doing stuff. We call them story arcs where people
we get involved and we bring people on the journey,
and I love doing them.
Speaker 7 (43:29):
And thinking about this one is there's no prize doing
it for glory.
Speaker 2 (43:34):
Everyone's getting in on it.
Speaker 3 (43:35):
So the magical thing is there's no money involved.
Speaker 2 (43:38):
Yeah we have.
Speaker 3 (43:38):
We haven't paid to any budget, no budget. This is
free campaign from starting to finish.
Speaker 2 (43:43):
Yeah. And there's a text coming through because our float
is going to be playing Mariah Carey's all I Want
for Christmas, someone's saying, why not give the immunity because
it's not you just you guys playing the game. The
rest of New Zealand are playing as well. That's what
someone saying on the text. That's true, and so we're
going to get all the people that potentially are playing
the game out on the It's not the whole point.
Speaker 8 (44:01):
Of this isn't Christmas Grint. We're not trying to like
be buzzkills for Christmas. I don't want anyone to not
go to the parade because they're trying to kno hearm RYO.
Speaker 3 (44:09):
But if that's what it takes, those are the links
we're willing to go to. Now we have had patch
that we changed the song on the float. Now Matt
our boss is going away's talking to the people and
he's going to try and come up with a solution
end eop into play today, which will have you tomorrow
on the show. Lindsey, You're chiming in on this.
Speaker 10 (44:26):
Yeah, I thought i'd come up with a solution, and
I think I've got a reasonable solution.
Speaker 2 (44:33):
What's that.
Speaker 10 (44:34):
The solution is you've got hidden in the safe back
there at your studio. There, You've got a gold card,
and you can pull the gold card out.
Speaker 3 (44:43):
This is the day of rest, Sunday, the day of
the rest day.
Speaker 10 (44:49):
Yeah, so everybody, so that everybody can go to the parade,
can pull out the gold card and have a day
of rest.
Speaker 7 (44:57):
Just rest the rules for Mariah. That's amnesty.
Speaker 3 (45:02):
Speaking of which we've heard, are you currently inseminating cows?
Did you have to pull out your armor from a
cow to call us?
Speaker 10 (45:08):
Yeah? Well, I'm just going to be just short of
ten thousand cows for the season.
Speaker 3 (45:14):
You've stuck your arm inside ten thousand cows?
Speaker 10 (45:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (45:17):
Oh well, how many can.
Speaker 7 (45:19):
You do on a day?
Speaker 10 (45:21):
The biggest day I did was about four hundred and thirty.
Speaker 3 (45:24):
It's a lot of cows. You put yourself inside the.
Speaker 10 (45:28):
It's an intimate situation.
Speaker 2 (45:31):
Oh good for doing it.
Speaker 7 (45:32):
Give them a pet first.
Speaker 2 (45:34):
You don't want to know where his cell phone is
at the moment. Right now, he's talking to us.
Speaker 3 (45:38):
That's how next story are Lindsay comes up here and
insiminates men.
Speaker 2 (45:46):
Let's see we appreciate your go we have a great day.
Speaker 10 (45:48):
You too, thank you? Yes, some old card?
Speaker 2 (45:51):
Okay god card. Neil's got a great text. He's that
guys stopping selfish? Are you hurting two people with this one? Maddie,
he needs to listen to his Christmas he loves Mariah Carey,
and to Mariah Carey she needs a few weeks of
royalties to pay for the next mansion. Selfish, selfish Neil.
Speaker 3 (46:08):
He's also agnoying the text, the hordes of text that say,
just play Ben's version of the song Oh God next,
because it's not the Mariah version.
Speaker 7 (46:16):
A lot of solution that I pitched. Our boss did
poopoo this morning.
Speaker 2 (46:20):
We can listen to other ones, can't we AI don't
want a lot for Christmas. Orgies are gone too fast.
Speaker 3 (46:29):
We'll re record it without the and lims in between.
Speaker 2 (46:31):
I don't think I could get any better even with
re recording. But maybe I'm wrong. But lots of people
saying that someone's saying, who the something cares? Just play
the song killed the game, so they go, oh, okay,
what do you want to say?
Speaker 3 (46:42):
Quickly on this one.
Speaker 9 (46:44):
I'm still lost with Lindsey there.
Speaker 7 (46:46):
Sorry, no right, we're all coming over anyway.
Speaker 9 (46:53):
I'm more than happy to not hear Mariah.
Speaker 12 (46:57):
Sorry, I'm still in the game, and I actually do
prefer your version.
Speaker 3 (47:01):
Oh you like the bean voice version?
Speaker 1 (47:03):
We all do.
Speaker 2 (47:08):
There we go, we got there. No take bags, no
take two. I don't want the Christmas bread as well.
Speaker 8 (47:20):
Great thing is if it's if we play it on
the float in the Santa Parade. Anyone watching only hears
it for like five minutes while we passed by.
Speaker 7 (47:25):
I saw, on the other hand, hours that.
Speaker 3 (47:30):
Love your cool. Do you go and have a great day?
And they have a cap and tea and a lie
down after what Lindsay said he's doing
