Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This Jon Woman Being Podcast brought to you by Hello Fresh,
the Experts and Tastes that kiwis last.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Hello, Welcome to the podcast. And Hello, Oh my name
is My name is Ben? And is that you over there?

Speaker 3 (00:10):
John O?

Speaker 4 (00:10):
It's name now Hello. These are unfamiliar voices to you.
Probably this has produced Grace and produced Ellie reporting in.
The team have gone missing.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
They've laughed, they've just laughed.

Speaker 5 (00:20):
From mid show they were like, we're done, and we
were like, on, We've got to.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Do the show now.

Speaker 6 (00:25):
No.

Speaker 4 (00:25):
The team have just popped off straight after the show
to go to their Wheat bex Key Wee Kids triathlon,
so they didn't have time to do a potty intro.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
So we thought we'll do it, We'll do it, We'll
do so here we are.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
What's on the show today, Grace.

Speaker 5 (00:36):
Big Tea around Mara Care, lots of drama going down.
We had to call Matty McLain over it.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
We did, and I think we might be confronting our
boss tomorrow on tomorrow's potty.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
We haven't done that yet, but I feel like.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
We need to do so.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
It was a very interesting twist now happening in the story.
And have we been sabotaged by our own people. Maybe possibly, possibly,
but we'll get to one of that also, So the
team confront beloved broadcaster Tony Street. We love her, but
she seemed to have done something a bit dicey the
other night when she was at the premiere with Megan

(01:10):
and Bean.

Speaker 5 (01:10):
So I would have been pest if she did it
to me. I'm just going to say it now. So
confrontation is the only thing exactly right.

Speaker 4 (01:17):
And apart from that any other fun stuff happening.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
I mean, there was a great show. It was a
great show. There was some ghost.

Speaker 5 (01:22):
I think that was the sound of a ghost, and
now my heart I feel.

Speaker 4 (01:26):
Like, yeah, we think being tells haunted. But you can
hear yourself because the audio will play for you. And
other than that, have a great day.

Speaker 5 (01:34):
And great listenings for listening to these lovely voices.

Speaker 4 (01:38):
Yes, and Grace Week's very hard on this podcast every day,
so we really appreciate you for listening and if you
enjoy it, rate it on your podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yes, five stars or whatever you feel.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Tony Street, broadcaster here and from coasts are joining us.
We grabbed you in to talk about something.

Speaker 7 (01:52):
I feel like I'm on trial beloved broadcaster. Everyone loves
it the nations.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
Sweetheart, don't you say, have you got bad things to
say about? I will shak you with this permanent marker,
and it'll be a permanent reminder of how nice Tony is.

Speaker 8 (02:09):
Well.

Speaker 1 (02:09):
Megan and I wanted to talk to about to Tony
about something, and Tony, you've just come into the studio
while that song is playing, and you're like, this could
be one of two things. I think, so should we
let what things? Do you want to?

Speaker 9 (02:22):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Because you've done so these two things, it could be.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
This is low when my wife asked me, you know
what you've done wrong? And then I have to try
and guess what I've done wrong.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
I feel like I'm going to implicate my.

Speaker 8 (02:36):
Well.

Speaker 10 (02:37):
One of the things was and I talked a bit
about this about whether we could talk about the Wicked
show that we went to. Yes, when the embargo doesn't lift,
is it embargo related?

Speaker 1 (02:50):
It's not. But yes, so we went to the Wicked movie.
You were there, Tony, Meghan, you were there.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Did you break embargo?

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Did you talk about No exactly, because there's strict rules
about when we were allowed to review it as such.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
But that's clearly.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Not it clearly, but obviously anyway, we'll leave the movie
company to sort that one out.

Speaker 10 (03:11):
Or is it the fact that Sid Movie I had
my cell phone?

Speaker 1 (03:20):
I actually we didn't talk about this.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
Really, you really are implicating yourself.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
You and I did talk about that on the night. Yes,
I should have remembered that.

Speaker 11 (03:29):
Did you?

Speaker 3 (03:30):
Also? My kids are twelve?

Speaker 2 (03:35):
Did you film the movie? No, she wouldn't have.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Done that, filmed and reviewed it too early. You had
your phone because your daughter was getting in touch with you.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
That's fine, That's fine, Yes, okay, So what else tell that?

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Was there anything?

Speaker 7 (03:54):
So we all went down at Sid Movie the Wicked
movie to get snacks. Ben was there myself. You came
up and joined the line and we had a good chat.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
We did yeah, I know, and.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
The German first sugar.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Crime seprecating yourself on so many things right now. No,
we had a moment and I reckon, You're like you
had no We obviously clearly had no idea. You did it?

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Did the line?

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Did you? In front of her?

Speaker 10 (04:30):
There was a brief moment where because my my family
arrived and it was a bit of a commotion and
I was talking to Megs and I was talking to
Being and Maddy McLean was also there, and and then
there were two lines.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
Right, yeah, but you were at the back of both lines.
Somehow you ended up in front of Being and I
I went.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
To the worst one because I went behind the people
that were first. I was like, great, they'll be quack.
And they ordered just so much stuff, you know, for
a lot of people. So I was like stuck.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
I wasn't behind you, no.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
So I'd made make am. But then Megan was in
the other line. She came and talked to me as
she was about to go to the front, and then oh,
Tony Street went around the back and so.

Speaker 10 (05:06):
Actually this is more about Megan's lack of commitment. Yeah,
nice flippings on how to be bold and make a decision.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
These are her journalism skills coming to play here.

Speaker 6 (05:18):
The hits that Jonavan Ben podcast in the middle.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Of our Mariah Carey Christmas Game. You can play along
as well. All you have to do is try and
avoid hearing that song on the radio on social media
when you go into stores, and you see how long
that you can avoid hearing the iconic Christmas songs. Soon
as you hear any part of that song. You're out
of our game, Megan, You're still in the game. I'm
still on the game. Maddy McClain from the Afternoon Show,

(05:43):
He's still in the game.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Yep, the three of us are still in hi drama.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
Yesterday I saw emails being flung around the Internet and
through a management decision, we're at the Center Parade this
Sunday and the Hits has a flow.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
Farmer Santa Parade is a lot of fun because it's
come along, come on down. It's it's always amazing. Ninety
first Santa Parade this weekend. Thanks to Farmers, we're hosting
the Center's after party afterwards.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
It always gets wild at the after turns things up
at the after party. But each float they have their
own song that they play. Okay, and you learned yesterday
that what is the song that is meant to be
gracing the speakers of the Hits float in the Center Parade?

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Mariah Carey, all I want for Christmas?

Speaker 1 (06:31):
You said the Smith yesterday. I thought it was going
to be the actual version. You can hear other versions
of the song, you just can't hear the actual version.

Speaker 7 (06:39):
Hey, hey, just suddenly, like light bulb flashing, my mind
can we not play Big Boyce's version.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
We can't play two hours of my version by place
sad the.

Speaker 3 (06:54):
Song plays on loop. You could play this is an
alternative Christmas.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Too much of a.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Good thing's too much of even that's enough of that.

Speaker 3 (07:03):
Yeah, but only people on the on the streets, they
just hear little pockets.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
True. True, that us for two hours of that, So
we got on the floats a lot of fun each year.
But I thought it was a joke because you said
it to me yesterday. I was like, the MIC's were
on and I was like, oh, this is this is
classic radio gage we're playing the song and it was
a gag. Apparently that's the song we're playing, which firstly
takes us out of the game if we're still on
it by Sunday.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
Because we'll hear it. And not only that, we're going
to be going.

Speaker 7 (07:29):
Down past thousands of people blasting that song. So if
anyone is in the crowd playing as well, we're getting
them out.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Thanks a lot, guys for getting me out on the
game that you guys introduced. Yeah, thanks a lot. It
feels like a bad move for me, really bad move, Like, yeah,
subject the fun game that people are getting on board
with and then we just end it because on our
own tims it's really weird.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Like the Centerbury has meant to be the happiest place
right now, the actually probably second of Landa listening. They
have a copywritten that, haven't they. But yeah, this is
our grapes at the moment. So we needed to come
up with solutions.

Speaker 7 (08:07):
So the issue, the issue we also have is that
there are dancers who have choreographed a dance to Mariah
Carey's song. So at this late stage, I don't know
how I'm not a dancer. I don't know how easy
it is to switch out songs.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
To come up with another routine.

Speaker 3 (08:21):
Worry about the dancers. They don't have their reputations at
stake here. Well that's the thing. That's why we couldn't.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
We asked you stay we could change the song, and
that was the reason we got because the dancers have
learned a routine. We can't change the song.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
That was the like we should have been given a
heads up a while ago because.

Speaker 1 (08:35):
We chose the song because it wasn't in the Sanda
Parade float. Yeah, so we're like, oh cool.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
So okay, so this is the we're after solutions. People,
this is your show. Let's uh, let's open that room
where you go. No idea is a bad idea, but
then secretly people like that was a shocking idea sometimes,
but eight hundred hits, how can Ben Megan and many
McLain in the afternoon, still in the game, still got
skill in the game, skin in the game. Work this Sunday.

(09:01):
Their attendance is it is required at.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
The if you're going along and you play, you know
you want to go along to the Farmer Santa Parade
and not beget got out by our song and our.

Speaker 3 (09:11):
Float, noise canceling hit phones for everyone in the crowd.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
We also can't guarantee that no one else is.

Speaker 1 (09:18):
Done, and that's fine, and that's fine. If we get
out like that, then that's just that's what's that.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
But we don't want to be the ones that get
people out of our own game.

Speaker 3 (09:25):
Yeah, so far, the best solution is playing I don't
want a lot christ this is fine.

Speaker 6 (09:32):
That means no one the heads that jonaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
All right, Mariah Carey game that we've been playing with
you guys, you can join it at any stage. That's fine.
You just have to see how long you can avoid
listening to Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas. If
you hear it in the store, you hear it on
the radio, you hear it on social media, you're out
of the game.

Speaker 12 (09:51):
Now.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
To stay out of the game for We'll stay in
the game for a while. You're me, Megan. I don't
know how we've lasted this long, but we've last.

Speaker 2 (10:00):
Was avoided it along with Matty McLean. But we didn't
expect our own.

Speaker 7 (10:04):
Workplace to sabotage us. And we have found out that
the float music for the Farmers Santa Parade this Sunday
is going to be Mariah Carey All I Want for.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
Christmas, which is it's the cauldron of being called out.
I imagine this event, you know. But your issue is, well,
maybe we shouldn't be We shouldn't be peddling the song.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
One's getting other people out that may be playing along
the game like it seems a strange, strange decision.

Speaker 7 (10:32):
We have chatted about how we will be surrounded by
all things Christmas, which is fine if we got out
by other means, risk by our own float.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
Okay, so I had the hits for after solutions. They
can't they can't opt out. It's a mandatory calendar. Invite
was sent out like mid Feb. So they can't miss
the event. Your hosted the Santa's after party as well.
We need you there. Santa's got everything lined up for you, everything.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
All your requests, can't you?

Speaker 3 (10:56):
All your demands? Eight hundred the hits? What solutions have?

Speaker 6 (11:00):
God?

Speaker 3 (11:00):
How can Ben, Megan and Maddie avoid the song? Melissa?

Speaker 13 (11:03):
Yeah, I reckon that you should just play the instrumental
version on the float and then the dancers can just
start for that.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Not a bad thought, it is.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
It is smart.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Works. It's still a bit unusual that we're playing the
song that we're not trying to listen to, but it's
not technically Mariah's version, So.

Speaker 3 (11:22):
No harm, no found, no one's out. You still get
the I mean, you get the points, you get the message,
you get the intention from the hits to play the song. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it's good.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
That's what do you do?

Speaker 3 (11:34):
What do you do for a job. I'm a teacher,
that's right. You figure out by Yeah, it's good. Great
to have you listening. Melissa really do appreciate the suggestion,
so that's not a bad one. James Yes, let's get spitballing, James,
what do you think.

Speaker 8 (11:51):
Now the dancers have learnt the song, Yeah, put their
headphones on, you get them playing the song, and you
blast even music you want out of the out of
the out of the slow.

Speaker 12 (12:03):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
But then the dancers won't be dancing in time to
the music on the float, but they'll be like their
own silent disco.

Speaker 1 (12:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (12:09):
But they've got the head bos that we all choreographed
to the dancer, so they'll be in see. But then
you guys might have to hear hear the song and
leave all little people at the parade.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
Ah, sounds like a huge budget costs for headphone Apple,
wed phones and stuff called this the ones.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
You probably want those little ones of ear pods, don't you.

Speaker 3 (12:29):
But it is smart thinking, smart thinking from James, really
good James. Like the way you are, like the way
you think. Appreciate that to be honest, Melissa, is probably
the most cost effective.

Speaker 7 (12:38):
At surely we can find a Christmas song that has
the same bpms per minute.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
Right, Yeah, but if we're wearing sort of headphone cost Lisa, welcome,
Hi guys, are you Yeah? What do you think, Lisa?
How can be Megan and Medie MacLean avoids, well, they
need to be at the end of braid, but how
can they.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
I mean, we might be out by Sunday, Like there's
a chance that one of us might be out too,
of all of us, but be nice to go in
and not get everyone else out as well.

Speaker 13 (13:03):
I think you's guys just exclude Sunday out of it
all together. Okay, it's beyond your control. So I just
think it's fear that you guys just exclude Sunday and
just carry on Monday.

Speaker 7 (13:13):
Here's a point to that, because also, like, we can't
guarantee that people won't hear that song just in the
Sands parade, not on our flow, and we don't want
to stop people from enjoying Christmas.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
That's not the point of it.

Speaker 13 (13:25):
If I get another radio station that's in for you
guys and.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Sounds like a Morphian thing to do, and then.

Speaker 8 (13:33):
You just exclude I heard it.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
Was Simon Barney hasn't even started there. It is going
to be the first thing he does first. Some great
texts issue coming through as well. For for seven Uh,
someone's suggesting that both of you catch COVID by Sunday.

Speaker 2 (13:48):
At the same time, still in.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
The rounds again, it's feasible.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
And also we're in the same room. Ye true, just
was spared.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
He's immune to it some reason.

Speaker 3 (14:00):
Yeah yeah. And someone said, well, I wanted you to
swap the song out for savages Swing's I don't have.

Speaker 1 (14:13):
The same Beatsman matters all. I want agressors so we
can look into.

Speaker 3 (14:15):
That great brain. How the child dancers go to the.

Speaker 6 (14:24):
The Heads that johnaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 3 (14:27):
How's everyone going alright? Well, still in the Mariah Carey competition.
Still haven't heard all the one for Christmas?

Speaker 1 (14:33):
Still hanging.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
I'm still in Yeah, amazing.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
I was looking through radio stations yesterday as I was
driving around non stop, had kids appointments from two in
the afternoon to nine thirty at night, Good Look, Back
to Back. I was just like uber service all day
and I was flicking around radio stations a lot of
that time, and I was like, why am I doing this?
This is resky, this is still end up on a
podcast because I'm like, I can't get out of the game.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
Now came a Russian roulely right there.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
The Heads feels like a safe space.

Speaker 3 (14:59):
Yeah, because we're not playing it officially, until both everyone
from all the casts and talent from the afternoon show
and the breakfast show hurry out. I'm out, Yeah, Pj's out.

Speaker 1 (15:09):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (15:09):
You know what you could do, Benners just listen to
the hits because that is a safe space.

Speaker 1 (15:12):
Well, I hope so, But I was thinking, well, does
every show that during the day and stuff are they
all are they all sworn that this is a safe space.

Speaker 2 (15:19):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
I'm saying that our show is a safe space.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
And I thought the deal was we're not playing it
on the same.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
But I got scared yesterday so I listened to a podcast,
The Devil, a podcast I was I hat radio. So
that's fine. I don't a lot for Chris.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
Well, we came out to speed this morning. If you
actually are out of the game, we love to talk
to you and play this the commiseration version of four
four eighty seven is the text? Is the text? Well,
I know you were just saying you just had a
back to back appointments yesterday tours on could Judy at
my son Oscar was playing a three on three basketball tournaments,

(15:57):
and I mean I watched probably four and a half
minutes worth of three on three basketball or the Olympics
earlier this year. Did you watch that?

Speaker 1 (16:03):
Yeah, the found that was I mean, it's great to
watch three on three, don't get me wrong, but I
found it was odd they had two basketball competitions going
at the Olympics. Yeah, three on three competition and traditional basketball.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
Yeah, I know a lot more about three on three.
Used to say growing sport. One of the fastest growing
sports in the world. He has a smaller ball, right.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
The news half the court, half the.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
Court, easy to remember all the players names. Is only
three of them on the team.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Ice Cube, the Rappers involved in the States and three
or three basket and like he's one of the organizers
of the tournaments over there and stuff and gets a
whole lot of X players with big names to play
it and stuff. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
I was taking to someone there and they knew someone
who knew someone who used to play basketball for New Zealand.
He's on three hundred and fifty k U yes a
year and China playing three on three basketball?

Speaker 2 (16:47):
What was the like? What was wrong with the whole court?

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Like basketball was very exciting, Like I got twenty four
seconds of a shot cut They've got to make a
shot every twenty four seconds. You've got one of the
most exciting sports there.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
And they're like, you know what them half.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
Yeah, Like I get I love cricket, but I get
cracket They've gone five days. That short this up a
little bit. Yeah, make it a bit more exciting.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
It is, isn't it. You feel like the original version
of the game's quick and very good.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Five players that's all. It's not slow down at all.

Speaker 3 (17:16):
But yeah, it's also good. You could fit the whole
team in your cat. I mean there are advantages. You
can't fit the whole five on five basketball team in
the vehicle.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
You need one of those people movers.

Speaker 3 (17:25):
Look at the pros and cons of three on three
basketball that No, it's fun in very ten minutes.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
Bomb all gone.

Speaker 3 (17:32):
Ten minutes mane. Yeah, just data. But then you have
like thirty games in a day, and how did Oscar
go will Yeah they really well. I was proud of them.
Uh yeah, I'm trying to remember that they know they
just well they won four and five. Trying to remember
the stairs. I watched so much ten minute games three basketball.

Speaker 6 (17:55):
The hits that John wan Ben podcast.

Speaker 3 (17:58):

Berner social media accounts to try and catch Maddie and
accidentally Maddie pushes the video and boom, that's the soundtrack
to the video. But you're too smart, Maddy.

You to wear well.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Hi drama though this morning, and I don't know if
you've caught up with it, but we've just heard that
the hits you know, the float and the Farmer Santa
Parade that we're all going to be on we play
one song on loop for a couple of hours as
we go around. We just heard that. It sounds like
it's going to be Mariah Carey all I want for
Christmas blasting out.

Speaker 9 (19:16):
You are kidding me.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
Like someone playing a joke on upper management decision.

Speaker 9 (19:22):
Wait, wait, who's sign that.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
Off many many one's names? He's taking tickets.

Speaker 7 (19:29):
That's this weekend and currently you know, the three of
us are still in.

Speaker 2 (19:33):
That would be a straight out for us.

Speaker 7 (19:35):
And not only that, all of the people that are
watching the Sands Parade who are playing will automatically be
out and.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
Be like, oh thanks a lot, guys. Your game that
I was playing ended up getting us out.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
You've ruined it for us.

Speaker 9 (19:46):
So how do we work this?

Speaker 3 (19:47):
Then this is the only solution. We amputate all of
your ears. Okay, So that's that feels like the sensible option.
What about people playing as well? I don't want to
be responsible for putting people out of the game. We're
blasting a song to thousands of people, and some of
them will be playing the game, and I don't want
to be responsible for that.

Speaker 9 (20:06):
At least though we're making it. We're making this, we're
telling people early enough. So I don't know if you
want to maybe, if you desperately want to win this game,
maybe you have to bring to the content.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
All there's only going to be like four people at
the Santa Barraze. This game has swept the nation, ruined
the attendance for the sand of Parade.

Speaker 9 (20:28):
But I don't want to get out this. I don't
want to get out this way.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
No, I'm with your many, I'm with you.

Speaker 3 (20:33):
Well, we're a solutions based radio show. We've said it
earlier this morning, Maning, we'll come up with a solution
for you. Okay, PJ and me, we're both out. We're
fine to be on there. Well, you do it, Okay,
we'll have a great Sunday.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
There you go. That's a great solution.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
Ben is actually annoyed about this, aren't you genuinely annoying?

Speaker 1 (20:50):
I went for anyone. It's a bad lot for us
to be playing the song down the street for a
game that we're trying to get people to play. I'd
be annoyed if I like, if this was the way
I got out. I think it was the people that
got me to play this game.

Speaker 2 (21:01):
Well, it will be the way you get out as
it stands.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
What's the way I got out? Was just for Okay,
I'll get out whatever. But it's people that down the
street You're like, well, thanks a lot. What was that
two weeks of that game or whatever I was playing?

Speaker 9 (21:11):
Guys, I have a great relationship with Boggsy, the CEO.

Speaker 6 (21:14):
Love me.

Speaker 9 (21:15):
I will take this to the.

Speaker 3 (21:16):
Top of my I'm calling for the exec the board.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
All right, Maddie, we'll appreciate. We'll see how we go
over the next couple of days.

Speaker 9 (21:25):
Thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
Teen. Okay, I wait over sextually two. Have you got
a solution for this the float as it stands as
playing Mariah Carey all I want for Christmas? How can
we avoid how can we avoid being Megan and Maddie
hearing the song on the day?

Speaker 2 (21:40):
Do you have a suggestion for another song?

Speaker 1 (21:42):
Well, because apparently there's dancers with the Float that have learnt.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
A routine to this, so they just need the same
beats permanent.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
Well maybe it doesn't.

Speaker 6 (21:50):
Matter what song the hits that jonaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
Now we're talking this morning about something that's come through
a family secrets. Now, I don't want people to dish
the doer on families. They're not comfortable doing it. But
some people, you know, you always see those things that
pop up on YouTube, things like ancestry dot Com. They're like, hey,
log on here and find out you know, we're it's.

Speaker 7 (22:11):
Not always a dirty secret either, it's just things that
have been lost over the generation. So now that you
can do DNA testing, people are finding out that they
have extra family members.

Speaker 1 (22:22):
Sometimes les I took a DNA test and she she's
saying about it, she found that she was something something
that probably you're going to.

Speaker 7 (22:31):
Quote her lyrics, you want to get it right.

Speaker 3 (22:39):
Into ancestry dot com. And they're like, Okay, interesting, I
didn't know because.

Speaker 7 (22:48):
My dad found out later in life that he had
a half brother. Really yeah, which is like such a
wild ride finding out you've got extra family members who
looks like who like he.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
Had a daughter that looked like.

Speaker 3 (23:02):
Found this out?

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Did he? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (23:03):
Really? Jeez?

Speaker 2 (23:05):
And producer Ali, you've got got a website.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
A website to really ruffle ruffle feathers in the family dynamics.

Speaker 7 (23:12):
You've got a connection as well. You found out extra
family members.

Speaker 4 (23:15):
Yeah, over the weekend, my mum basically her mom. Wait,
this is going to be confusing. How my mom always
thought she just had a grandma and then her brother,
that's all we thought. We found out over the weekend
that brother. So her great uncle was actually only a
half brother. Then there was a third sibling we didn't
know about. And now there's a whole other line of

(23:35):
family and that half brother. So now we've got these
cousins that have reached out to my uncle being like,
I think we're related, and it's through the half brother
that we didn't realize was actually only a half brother.
We thought they were full but there was something else
going on.

Speaker 3 (23:47):
Man, So someone was a pantsman somewhere along the line
you put it down to.

Speaker 4 (23:52):
I don't know, I think there was actually I think
the son was from a previous partner, but we didn't
know that. We thought that they were all like fully related,
but not there's this other half family with now found.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
It's probably harder to keep track of a lot of
these things back in the day. Yeah, you know, you know.
Now we've got computers and.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
Films everything for Instagram. You can get a lot more
stuff back in the day, can't you.

Speaker 7 (24:15):
I have heard a story where someone did a DNA test,
one of those ancestry things.

Speaker 2 (24:19):
I found out that the dad was not their dad,
and their dad didn't know they were not the dad.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
No.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
Yeah, well, there's rumors about old Chloe Kardashian that she's
she needs to go to Okay four for seven. Have
you got some family secrets? That's you know, what bit
of platform to share them on than public radio?

Speaker 1 (24:50):
You have to like if you don't.

Speaker 2 (24:51):
Also, it doesn't have to be a bad thing.

Speaker 3 (24:54):
Families, grandma's secret lasagna recipes.

Speaker 1 (24:57):
Sometimes people do connect and they're like, oh my god,
Like you say, there's a whole another side of your
family and it's awesome and you get to experience these things.

Speaker 6 (25:03):
The hits that Jona wan Ben podcast.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
Some controversy astructed competition where the floats, you know, Smile
and Wave. That's our role on on Sunday the hits
Float Smile, Wave, Kiss some babies if a baby's put
in front of you, and the song that we play
on loop and have done this tradition for the hits
is all I Want for Christmas from Ike Carry.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
Well, we had a vote because the last year it
wasn't It wasn't the song.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
We had.

Speaker 1 (25:28):
Another song last year was Ginger Bell Rock.

Speaker 2 (25:29):
I think a different song around an email vote.

Speaker 7 (25:33):
And I seem to remember the song being something else.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
Yeah, because we're like, great, we can use this Mariah
Carey game idea on here where we talk about the
not listening to the song, trying to avoid the.

Speaker 3 (25:45):
Song and through something so through some means it's now changed.
Now this is the song the predicament we find ourselves
and to be honest, I'm loving it. It's buying us
a couple of days of drama out.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
Of the game.

Speaker 11 (25:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
I just feel bad from a from a point of view.
If I get out of the game, that's fine. But
just going along, we're trying to get all these people
to play this game. People could be in the crowd
and then we by playing the song get them out.
They're like, oh, thanks, guys. I know that's the thing
that I feel uncomfortable about. I don't care if I
get out.

Speaker 7 (26:14):
Yeah, and you've also hit two of the most competitive
people myself and Maddy McLain who don't want to lose
by those means.

Speaker 1 (26:22):
No, I you'll be instantly out.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
And also you do have to spare a thought. It's
a hot bit of It's like Mariah's Grotto. The Santa Parade.
People probably get out through the means of another float.
I understand you don't want to be responsible for that. Yeah,
been guaranteed someone's going to be pumping that song out.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
Although you know if we have got if we've asked
for it on our float, does that mean no other
float can have it than the rules of the Santa
Parade or not, Like we are the only one and
then they have different songs. They can't have like ninety
seven floats all playing for all I want machris.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
So do we claim to that song and then switched
out last minute and no one's.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
Playing great, eliminating it from the which seems a rhyme
on itself. That song won't feature at the sand of
parade here it Yeah, So we're after some solutions this morning.
There have been seditions, maybe getting an instrumental. The problem
being too is dancers. You got young dancers who have
choreographed a dance that goes along with this song. Now

(27:17):
that's a big predicament we find ourselves in, Rob, What
are we going to do to tackle this issue?

Speaker 14 (27:23):
Hey, I reckon, I reckon.

Speaker 8 (27:25):
You should just put on noise canceling headphones, big fluffy ones.

Speaker 1 (27:33):
We could do that, you, me and Maddy McLean could
do that, Megan. But then do we hand them out
to people ahead of the float? Did they play? You're
playing a game? You want these?

Speaker 7 (27:39):
Because that is the other issue, Rob, is that we're
going to be playing it and eliminating people from our
own game just by playing it to the crowds.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
Yeah, now we're like, oh, thanks guys.

Speaker 3 (27:52):
The hole and your headphone planned there, Rob.

Speaker 1 (27:55):
It's not a bad thought though, it's not a bad.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Saves us, but it doesn't save everyone else.

Speaker 3 (28:00):
Again, we invest in the headphones for over running the
crowd to listen. Thank you so much, Rob, really do
appreciate you joining in Olivia. How are you good?

Speaker 15 (28:09):
Thanks to you?

Speaker 3 (28:10):
We're good. Please help us out, Olivia.

Speaker 15 (28:13):
I have a solution for you and the dancers.

Speaker 13 (28:16):
Why don't you just play the version of the phone The.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
First time this has come true.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
I don't want a lot for christmast There is just
one thing I need.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
The press that solves the problem, Olivia.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
But creates a problem, a crime against music.

Speaker 2 (28:36):
But I'm a big fan of that version.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
What would you be a fed listening to it two
hours on loop No.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
But the crowd doesn't have to money. Okay, I probably
will slap you at the end of the center fair enough.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
It feels like, you know, we've had options for an
instrumental to play the karaoke, but it feels like it's
that's a win for all parties. As the song gets
out there, the lyrics are broadcast, you don't get out
of the game. I can't find a bitter solution, Olivia.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Surely there's gotta be perfect. There's gotta be a bit
of solution that listen to that.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
We'll rerecord it with you.

Speaker 1 (29:10):
I'm not gonna get much better.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
Well, he only gave us one take, no tax.

Speaker 2 (29:15):
You can like talking that's in there.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
Professional musicians spend weeks recording one song. You're like one take,
one take only, and you know this is the result
of what happens when you do that.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
I don't want a lot for Christmas. There is just
one thing I.

Speaker 6 (29:31):
Need, the hits that jonaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
I told you this video yesterday and it probably like granted,
probably works better and video form because you see the
reaction and my daughter Andy and my wife Amanda, whether
we're doing something on the computer and they were filming them.
They were going to send me a video message about
what they were doing and telling me what they were doing.
And as it was going on, there is this really
creepy sort of whispery noise in the.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
Background and no one else around.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
Seen as in a room other daughter and they he's
not on yeah, no, no TV. And they yelled out
to sea as well their facial reactions like what the
heck is going on? So they have a listen to this.
You'll hear this whispering noise.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
In the background, and it happens twice and.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Then my daughter and he's like going, what the hell
does that?

Speaker 16 (30:13):
Have a listen the X and I have cupcakes, cupcakes,
cop cakes, So how's that?

Speaker 8 (30:22):
I love the ghosts.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
C you know what are you playing?

Speaker 3 (30:29):
What's that noise?

Speaker 1 (30:30):
Yes, it's just like that's hor going on in the background,
that whole thing.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
Maybe it's the ghosts of your TV shows. Maybe maybe
the ghosts of the costumes of all the TV shows
you've hosted.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
But quite they're quite freaked. Genuinely, we're quite freaked out
by it.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
I was freaked out when I watched it.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Yeah, like it showed you the video yesterday and they're like,
what the heck is going on there?

Speaker 16 (30:52):
Like X and I have cupcakes, cupcakes, copcakes.

Speaker 2 (30:59):
So it's like a whispery echo, no one around, no
one around, just house particularly echoy.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
I wouldn't say particularly going like it doesn't like there's
not anything you don't.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Have, like concrete floors, the googler.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
The googler, but water going down the corners.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
And so they're in the lounge, my daughters in the
her beer dream. No one's in the kitchen, no one's
doing anything, just like.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
The ice maker and the fridg dream.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
Don't have a nice night. I always wanted to have
an ice maker. I never had a nice makeoup maker's
own ice hands struggle. They've always uses it and put
the thing back when it's like, just put it back
with water in it. You always got to.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
Refill that thing. Yeah, no you need to if you've
taken ice out before in their household. But get a
ghost expirted bloody. I love ghost experience because no one
can prove that they're not on the expert because they
just look like people talking to themselves when they go
and you see them on TV and they're like, yes, yes,

(31:57):
how can I prove you actually talk any one of
those people coming?

Speaker 1 (32:01):
Yeah, fourthrah seven on the text. Maybe you've had a
similar situation where your house has had something like that.
Maybe it's nothing to worry about. Maybe you've like, maybe
I should do something.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
Maybe you think you've got an explanation as to what
they was.

Speaker 16 (32:12):
X and I have come out here cupcakes, copcakes.

Speaker 7 (32:17):
Yeah, it kind of sounds like a dog in the
distance barking, maybe like it's echoing.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
It's echo Yeah, No one was Guessie well not maybe
just checking out a lot.

Speaker 6 (32:30):
The heads that jonaan Ben podcast played.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Some audio came from a video my wife sent me
over the weekend. My daughter and my wife sitting there,
they're recording something for me, and just a really creepy
whispering noise in the background.

Speaker 16 (32:44):
X and I have cupcakes, cupcakes, copcakes.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
How that I love your ghost cena.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
I wasn't seeing a center was the other daughter in
a room as well. Just yeah, yeah, they were quite
freaked out by it and just wondering what it could be.
Lots of theories coming through on four four eight seven,
some wild theories.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
A great text. Here is it your fridge? Our fridge
sounds like a chickens dying in.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
It gets the fridge, But maybe I should check that out.
It's not about money.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
Sometimes the fridges does sound like it's got terrible indigestion,
doesn't it.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
He's holding a lot of food.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
Yeah, Oscar, you're on. How are you?

Speaker 8 (33:23):
I'm good?

Speaker 3 (33:24):
Okay, you've got some theories on what this noise could be? Aussie?

Speaker 15 (33:28):
Yeah, I think it's a buz because I live in
Munga Phi and we hear.

Speaker 13 (33:35):
Birds all the time.

Speaker 5 (33:36):
It's a pretty small town.

Speaker 13 (33:38):
Right by a bush. It's a bird just cawing in
the distance.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
Somewhere you have another listen to it.

Speaker 16 (33:47):
And I have cupcakes, cupcakes, copcakes?

Speaker 1 (33:53):
What could in the distance? Yeah, let's just get it.

Speaker 17 (33:57):
Sounds like a coin to me.

Speaker 18 (34:00):
Just what.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
Around you?

Speaker 1 (34:04):

How are we doing?

Speaker 1 (35:18):
We're doing? Okay? How are you doing?

Speaker 17 (35:20):
Why are you doing?

How's that sounds?

Speaker 17 (35:28):
That sounds perfect? That's just what I want to hear.
That's look like you're right down somewhere and you're just
reading how to do it.

Speaker 3 (35:34):
We're not just reading that. Honestly, all three of us
are smiling right now. We just you put your smiles
on our faces.

Speaker 1 (35:39):
Good.

Speaker 17 (35:40):
Maybe we need to do our FaceTime call next time instead,
no more, you know, then I can see your face
for real.

Speaker 3 (35:46):
You think we're lying about the spies?

Speaker 17 (35:49):
I just Italian. I need to see before I believe.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
Now, obviously you are from originally and then being in
New Zealand for a while. When was the last time
you were home in just.

Speaker 17 (36:00):
This August was yeah? But before that was four years? Yeah,
long time I got stuck with COVID then, yeah, not chance?

Speaker 3 (36:08):
Do you like to be honest? If I had the
choice of living in Rome? Yeah, or I would probably
pick Rome.

Speaker 17 (36:16):
Yeah yeah, I really didn't born there. When you're born there,
you know how bad is the economy? That's why people escape.
But I agree with you, the country's beautiful.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Okay. So what's one thing we're doing better here? And
one thing they're doing better?

Speaker 17 (36:34):
And food not brain food food food forever great?

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Yeah, you're right, Food's incredible.

Speaker 17 (36:40):
What we're doing here better that we take it to
be easy sometimes and all the time, but we take
it to be easier. The life is a little bit
less stressed.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
The Italians we will.

Speaker 17 (36:52):
Be very on the go, like we never stopped. We
wore twelve hours a day every day for six days
a week and whip cycle.

Speaker 3 (36:59):
You know, bean Bush, you'd go well on this.

Speaker 1 (37:02):
Maybe that's why I like it so much. I'm like
people let up that.

Speaker 17 (37:06):
It's just because you wake up early, you catch the train,
you go to work, you finish eight pm, you go
in the gym, you got the bag on the car,
and after you cook at twelve o clock and you're
cleaning at one am.

Speaker 3 (37:16):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 17 (37:16):
It's just like ongoing schedule.

Speaker 3 (37:19):
What am I doing in Is there a six day
work week? There?

Speaker 2 (37:22):
Is it?

Speaker 17 (37:23):
Normally? Because because the sala is very low in compared
to the cost of living, you have to if you
want to have a normal life.

Speaker 3 (37:30):
Wow, I did not know that, But you seem so happy.

Speaker 17 (37:33):
Yeah, because that's what we know.

Speaker 6 (37:35):
You know.

Speaker 17 (37:35):
It's like when you go in the third war country
and that's what they got, you know, and they think
it's awesome because that's what you have, but all of
all of us do it, then it's no problem. You
don't feel you're missing out.

Speaker 3 (37:46):
Yeah, I see what you're saying, and you know you're.

Speaker 17 (37:48):
Moved in a cell like me ten years ago, fifteen

Speaker 11 (43:33):
So we've done one hundred shows and events in the
last two years, traveled around in Zeeld with the caravan
talking with Farmer's track. He's around community anyone that needs
to listen really well and sometimes it's their five minute,
team minute conversation on the side of the road with
a complete stranger that can make the difference to the day.

Speaker 1 (43:48):
That's awesome.

Speaker 11 (43:48):
So that's why we take you tour around. So we're
done hundred odd shows and events in the last two years,
talked over eight thousand people.

Speaker 3 (43:54):
Good you get well. We started it with Goose and
we've ended up with a heartfelt conversation. Tell you what.
Then he hugged us and he hugged you like a
Boer constructor Big Old Arms doesn't have one. So he
does mental health advocacy for the rural community.

Speaker 1 (44:10):
It's awesome.

Speaker 2 (44:10):
Never judge a book by exactly quirky name.

Speaker 3 (44:15):
Yeah, we were judging. We were judging. I want seduced
a slight rebrand, mimorable, memorable, and it's an amazing thing
that he's doing.

Speaker 1 (44:23):
It's amazing to have so many people like that out
in New Zealand doing things like.

Speaker 6 (44:25):
That's the johonaan Ben podcast.

Speaker 3 (44:29):
Have you with us on New Zealand's Riefs this morning? Now,
Kanye West just stumbled across so much inspirational on Instagram
and TikTok, isn't there just almost get overloaded with inspiration.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
A lot of quotes, a lot of motivational people there are.

Speaker 3 (44:43):
But then you're like, I'm going to change my life
three minutes, lady, You're still sitting there doom scrolling, aren't you?

Speaker 2 (44:47):
And you've forgotten what the advice was.

Speaker 3 (44:49):
Yeah, but Kanye West, he's been interviewed by New Zealander Zane.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
Lowe really well.

Speaker 3 (44:56):
Sane loves incredibly well. He's big here of Apple Music,
as z ain't Len and Kanye's mother was a very
smart woman, Donda, and she would have, you know, part
with some great wisdom for him. He ever listened to
what he's gonna say. It's about how you approached life.

Speaker 12 (45:14):
You know, if every time someone asks you a question,
you try to say the right answer. Your entire life
is a test, and when did you have the most
anxiety in grammar school and high school? No question on
test day, So your entire life become this test. I
ain't trying to say the right answer. I am just
doing what I feel. My mama said, trying is failing.

(45:35):
There is no ifs.

Speaker 1 (45:36):
Woods coulds shut. It just is and we just are.

Speaker 3 (45:42):
It's simple, you know, and that approach really isn't done
well all through life.

Speaker 7 (45:47):
It just seems like a zero responsibility to see what's
coming out of your mouth, which is exactly what he's done.

Speaker 3 (45:53):
It's right, but he's just gonna I reckon when he goes,
a lot of people are going to mourn him. Uh.
He's been a culture vircial figure. But you know, some
of history's most well known and remembered figures have been controversial.
They've made a check, like Elon Musk. Used to be
a fan of Musk. Now you've turned on him since
he was the pro Trump lost.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
You got the eck you did? I think it was
kind of.

Speaker 7 (46:14):
Keep putting that out there, because yeah, we did talk
about my love for Elon. I'd like to say that
has ended our relationship at one sided relationship, and he'll.

Speaker 3 (46:24):
Be devastated about that. But what celebrity do you think
you've mourned the most since their death? We'll get you
should get Producer Alien.

Speaker 1 (46:32):
Yeah, I know that, in particular with Liam Payne. With
Producer Ali, a huge one direction fan. That one hit
You're really hard, didn't it?

Speaker 3 (46:39):
I did it? And it still is.

Speaker 4 (46:41):
Actually I often think about it and I'm just like, like,
it just hurts and it's just sad. And then there's
obviously controversy is still kind of going on about it
and what actually happened, and that's triggering because you just yeah,
it took him ages to get home. Yeah, No, it's
just awful and it hit me harder than I thought
it really did.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
It just shocked me.

Speaker 4 (46:58):
I kept doing that thing where I wake up and go,
oh that's right, Oh that's right.

Speaker 3 (47:04):
But they're a big party of life one direction.

Speaker 2 (47:08):
If something happened to Harry, I'd be devoted. Yeah, okay,
take time off work.

Speaker 3 (47:13):
What's the celebrity of mourned the most?

Speaker 1 (47:14):
Been Well, I found that something had me got quite
hard in a lot of ways, and probably for unusual reason.
With Kobe Bryant, you know, when the helicopter crashed. But
his daughter Gianna was a real one because you know
that she was just thirteen. I found that really hard,
you know, the father daughter. I've got two daughters as
well other people in the helicopter. I thought that was
a really you know, just a really horrible thing for

(47:35):
so many families, you know, So that one really did
hit me quite hard. Yeah, particularly having girls. As I
said to myself, we.

Speaker 3 (47:41):
Should check this cherry topic out.

Speaker 2 (47:43):
There's Wednesday.

Speaker 3 (47:45):
Who's the celebrity of mourned the most who passed? Chris
call Nell was a big one, and I was a
big fan of chrystical now but we met him just.

Speaker 1 (47:54):
Weeks before he died.

Speaker 3 (47:57):
It was lovely, it was, and you wouldn't never, you
would ever have known this is always the case. Yeah,
it was okay.

Speaker 6 (48:04):
The hits, the johonaan Ben podcast and the Sanitarium Week
Bix Kids Triathline back again for another year.

Speaker 1 (48:10):
It's been running since nineteen ninety two.

Speaker 3 (48:12):
We're going out today.

Speaker 1 (48:13):
After the first one as well. They're still plenty of
chances to roll. It's such a great thing. It's so
amazing to see that the jaw on the kids' faces
is achieve.

Speaker 3 (48:21):
Something always like, why don't they include performance enhancing things
like you know, little sort of jet packs on their
back for the swimming, little electric engines. It's all about
doing it from motorbike.

Speaker 1 (48:32):
It's not a motorbike motocross.

Speaker 3 (48:35):
I'm not actually serious. Just in case you are going
to strap a jetpack to your back to swim.

Speaker 1 (48:41):
Yeah, I don't know if that's quite allowed. But to
the ambassadors, they are back again from the black Ferns.
The world champion black Ferns are Alana and Chelsea Bremner,
sisters are joining us once again on the phone. Good morning, guys,
how's it going? What's right? How are you very excited
about another year of the Sanitarium Week Books Kids Trathon.
You guys back as ambassadors. You must have done something right.

Speaker 15 (49:03):
Yeah, we definitely loved our time last year. It was
so awesome getting around all the triathlons.

Speaker 1 (49:08):
It's such an amazing thing and it just reading before
this year there'll be over half a million Kiwi kids
that would have done the Wheetbooks Trathlon's it's incredible.

Speaker 15 (49:17):
Yeah, it's so incredible. I think the Senatory Week because
Triythlon has been around for about thirty three years and
Charles and I probably were in participating about twenty years ago.
We were talking about, which is pretty insane, how.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
Many times did you guys do the Triythlon?

Speaker 15 (49:31):
We did it, I think about five times growing up.
And still mum still got our medals from.

Speaker 18 (49:36):
When we did it, our participation medals.

Speaker 1 (49:38):
I was reading that last night that you guys, you
know your mum still keeps everything and you know, you
guys have won the Rugby World Cup, you got medals
and winning the World Cup and your wheatbooks, your trathlon medals,
the Sanitariy Weetbooks trathon medals are there with your Rugby
World Cup medals.

Speaker 15 (49:53):
Yeah, no, we're pretty lucky at gus having mum saving
all those things. She as soon as she found out
we were coming on as ambassadors. It was your opportunity
to get everything to saved over the years out of
the roof. And yeah, so really call lots of medals
and our photos of us crossing the finish line. So
it's a pretty full circle moment being the ones to
tick ab out the champion medals at the finish line
and yeah, pretty special.

Speaker 1 (50:13):
Sounds like your mom needs to like, my mom needs
to clear out some stuff.

Speaker 14 (50:17):
Like it sounds like probably not that this.

Speaker 7 (50:19):
Is vindication for saving everything. Just succeed. This is why
I did it. What do you say to like young
kids who want to get into professional sports? So maybe
they're doing the triathlon and they're like.

Speaker 2 (50:30):
Yes, I love sports. How do I get into doing
it like professionally when I'm older?

Speaker 15 (50:35):
Giving everything to go. When you're younger, we played so
many sports and it probably wasn't until you know, the
last few years, we really honed in on our sport,
our main sport being rugby. So whatever it is you
want to do, I think when you're younger, take all
the opportunities have fun, and yeah, don't take anything too
seriously because I think having fun is the most important
things as a kid.

Speaker 1 (50:54):
How special is it for you guys to do your
career together, you know, to play in the black ferns together,
to play rugby together, to also be ambassadors for the Sanitarium,
weep extrathon, to get you own a house together.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
I understand.

Speaker 9 (51:07):
Yeah, we're so lucky.

Speaker 18 (51:08):
We're definitely, we're definitely very grateful. It's really really special
obviously to be running out on the field together to
play test match or play club or I think the
most exciting part about it is just that we get
to train together every day, and you know those summer
off season trainings. We're working hard together and we're really
grateful to be able to make our family proud and

(51:30):
it's awesome having family and friends together to come and
watch us.

Speaker 1 (51:33):
We're going to Larna and Chelsea brand Mill with us
right now. I want to see how in sync you are.
I'm going to say a question. Then I'm going to
count to three and see if you guys can answer
it at the same time. See how many we get.
I mean, who knows all right? On the counter three?
Name of color one two three gluey wow wow? On
the counter three name of rugby position one two three? Okay,

We had to get one wrong, otherwise you want to thought,
have we pre prepared this? And finally, and if you

eat for breakfast one, two.
