Speaker 2 (00:01):
Hey, that's us, brought to you by Hello Fresh, the
Experts and Tastes that Kiwis love. Welcome to the podcast
on a Thursday morning. Me again, you're running off about
a four hour sleep.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Oh less than that, probably three hours last night and
then four hours the night before because I did a
double hitter Lord of the Rings musical.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Which was fantastic. Golum was incredible.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
In fact, the guy that played Golan was probably the
most incredible thing I've seen on a musical stage.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
No, we didn't see John O there, but then I
was Golin was like, was that John all alone?
Speaker 5 (00:32):
Pretty incredible?
Speaker 3 (00:33):
When Gold turned out, I was like I said to Andrew,
I was like, think that looks a lot like John.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I never seen the turn of them in the same
the same time. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
I have an eagle on his chest with some boats
boats on his guts.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Well, I did have a lot more tetto's that I
remember from It's really good. Maybe it was John. And
then last night, of course our coldplay, which we.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Get to reflect on a lot. Talk to the CEO
of Eaton Park on the podcast today.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Really interesting to.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
See the I'm just I don't know why I've reached
at the stage in my life when I'm thinking of
logistics of you know, when you go to a concert,
you're enjoying it, but you're also thinking, how the heck
do they put this together?
Speaker 5 (01:08):
I know. Yeah, there's a lot that goes into it
when you're looking at it.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Yeah, even just doing the fan trail, so there's a
you can walk from the city center of Auckland to
Eden Park and there's just stuff all along the way
for you to enjoy.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
And the Mariah Carey game, it continues on. We're still
trying to avoid listening to Mariah Carey All I Want
for Christmas. However, as you're going to hear at the
beginning of the podcast, very very mischievous listenersh has been
trying to catch up Meddi and PJ in the afternoon,
and we get Meddie.
Speaker 6 (01:36):
McLean on to defend this.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Here's trying to avoid the Mariah Carey song All I
Want for Christmas for as long as possible. It's a
fun little Christmas game we're playing. As we keep saying
we love the song. We just thought it was the
most iconic song and could we go live our lives
without hearing it on social media and shops wherever. As
soon as you hear it, you're out of the game.
You can start playing now if you're not playing.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Yeah, we actually I should call this number of someone
who had a great idea yesterday because we are not
allowed to listen to the recorded version of Mariah Carey's
But there was a suggestion that came through that maybe
we get Ben to sing it.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
You're doing such a great job of singing the Vinger Boys.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I haven't really, to be honest, I feel like I'm
a punchline, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
I feel like you're laughing at me my lack of singing.
And I've got some great singers of the country right now.
Chris Martin forcole Play. We had Eddie Vida from Bell Jam.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Ben Boyce found talent.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
You're mocking me.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
I feel like punch But someone actually suggested that since
we can't listen to the Mariah version, that we get
Ben to do a version of it. All right now?
They text four for eight seven and this is yris
Ki Reward Stuff calling them live on air. I tell
you hello, Hey, They answered, what's your name?
Speaker 7 (02:46):
Ben?
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Ben? Now, Ben, we loved your suggestion. A bit of
a workaround so we could hear the song of Ben
Boys singing Mariah Carey.
Speaker 8 (02:55):
You know, well, he's a man of the people, and
he's done such a good job with with the Venger Boys.
I thought, you know, one, what better way to send
us hear it with a lovely rendition?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yea, whoa, we're going to I beat that. That's my
Bigger Boys vision. So you won't want to hear that
before nine o'clock. Oh yeah, So we took on your suggestion.
I was like, hey, I'm like Frank sin Archie apparently
only did one take in the studio.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Sometimes we regretted that.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
So I'm like, yesterday, one take, one take only, and
I did it and it wasn't great.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
Ever, Listen, I.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Don't want a lot for Christmas. There is just one
thing I need, and I don't care about the present
underneath the Christmas tree.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
I don't, oh God.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
So being we're happy, happy with the end result.
Speaker 8 (03:46):
As long as people smile from it, what's a better result.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
It was a great suggestion, Ben, Okay, so you'll now
hear that when you're out of the game.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Now that's the song some of it, so you don't
want to be out of the game. Believe you meet.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Thanks for listening to the show, Ben, We appreciate.
Speaker 8 (03:58):
It, no worries. Enjoy the rest of youday.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
A lot of people jumping on board with this campaign
as well, and we have Tash, who a bit of
a saboteur.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
If you will, Tash your cheeky little.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Monkey, Hello, how are you good? Lovely to have you on.
Thank you so much fiercely for really being invested in
the we Wish you weld carry Christmas campaign. Trying to
avoid listening to All I Want for Christmas, You've been
trying to sabotage the lovable, the lovable, relatable. Maddy McClain.
Speaker 9 (04:29):
Yes, well yeah, Oh so what I did is I
created a post and it had like a thumbnail of
just like Maddy and Pj's face, and you know, and
then I said something in the capsuin. I was like,
this language is not appropriate, because then I was like, oh,
Maddie will definitely want to because you're not getting frames
(04:51):
for something you didn't do.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
So you put this out on social media and the
hope that he'd he would view it, he would listen
to it was.
Speaker 9 (05:01):
Just like it was. I lifted like for like two
seconds silence, and I was like, oh, you keep listening
to like think of it, and then it went like
the start of the song and then like I could
just I was just envisioning his face.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
What and then he goes, ah, don't yeah great, And
you can tell when people have viewed a video, has
he has he seen it? Has he left you on scene?
Speaker 9 (05:22):
So what he did to is he liked the story
and then he unliked it and I have screened on.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Like that and then he went.
Speaker 10 (05:31):
Do you think he liked it?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
And then listened to it and I can't like this.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
I've got a Matthew, and you've got receipts, as they say, recepts.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
The receipts.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I love, So technically he could be out of the game. Honestly,
think he could be out of the game.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Tasha, do you suggest we make a call to Matthew McLean? Yeah, okay, Well,
thank you so much for for the intel the inside
word there, which would mean then PJ and Maddie and
Serra producers here in the afternoon, the.
Speaker 11 (06:04):
Hits that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
And the Mariah Carey game that we're playing for Christmas
where we try and see how long we can avoid
hearing the song.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
What you hear the song?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
No matter where you are, no matter if you're just
scrolling through social media, you're out of the game. We
had Tash before, who set some sort of parent trap situation,
like for Maddy McLean.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Right, Yeah, she'd set up a burner account and Sid
posted a picture of him and PJ going, I can't
believe you would say this, and then had given the
soundtrack or added the soundtrack of All I Want for Christmas,
hoping that they would click on it, and Meddie joins
us on the phone. Now, good morning, Hello, good morning,
lovely to have you on. Have we've been pumping iron,
(06:43):
getting the cardio happening this morning.
Speaker 12 (06:45):
It's an till it's a till morning this morning.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Next, you've got to have your rest days exactly.
Speaker 12 (06:51):
You can't push up too hard, John.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
And I don't.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
I don't listen the Mariah Carey game. It's been fun.
Pj's out, she's she was listening to it, and so
Chia cake Shop in Marterton. And now you're the only
you're the last one standing in the afternoon.
Speaker 12 (07:08):
It feels like a lot of pressure on my shoulders.
I'm not gonna lie. It's a scary prospect.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
So you're still in the game. You're still in the
game one hundred percent.
Speaker 12 (07:15):
I'm still in the game.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Okay. So well, well that's okay.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
That's that's your story that you're sticking with.
Speaker 12 (07:21):
That's my story. What do you mean now?
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Listen, Tash has got in touch with us. Tash's she's
been a little tricky.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Yeah, now, we we promised there's a show.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
We promised to play nice as your show, so that
we've had nothing to do with this other than it's
come because they come across our desk even though we
have a disc, but it makes it sound more powerful.
Let's come across our desk hogany disk? Yeah, okay, this
is from Tash.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Okay, have listen.
Speaker 9 (07:46):
So what I did is I created a pulse and
it had like a thumbnail of just like Maddy and
Pj's face, and you know, I mean I said something
in the captain. I was like, this language is not appropriate.
Because then I was like, oh, Maddie, we'll definitely want
to because you're not getting frames for something you didn't do.
It was just like it was I lifted like for
(08:09):
like two seconds silence, and I was like, oh, you
keep listening to like and then it went like the
start of the song and then like, So what he
did do is he liked the story and then he
unliked it. And I have screened on.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Like that so many Yeah, Okay, can I just say
we have always.
Speaker 7 (08:27):
Not come.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
This is Hey, we have some loyal lestens.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
This is great, outrageous behave Okay.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Would you like to change your response answer the question?
Speaker 12 (08:41):
No, I am sticking to my response. And here is
the very sad thing for Tash, who should not be
doing that because we agree sabotage was out.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Oh we did, but I guess the people, Yeah, they're
on their own. We can't. We can't be responsible for everyone.
Speaker 12 (08:57):
The sad news fatage is there. I don't care for
listening to people's stories on.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
So you didn't hear it?
Speaker 12 (09:07):
Never have my, fuck my, I never have the sound
tuned up, So I did not hear a single thing.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
But you're tempted to go, what language was I using?
Speaker 13 (09:16):
You know, because here's the thing, this makes so much
sense because I saw those I did see the stories,
but I keep waiting for a video to appear, and
so we no video appeared. I kept thinking, so I
didn't even realize there was sound attached to it, So.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Why did you like it? And then unlike, I don't
think I did like the screenshots. Babes.
Speaker 12 (09:40):
Look all I'm saying, I feel like I'm tripping over myird.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
No further questions, You're.
Speaker 12 (09:48):
Look, i'mpleting one.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Of those moments. I get a little rental, they get
a little frazzle, A lawyer goes. No more questions. You're like, oh,
they're jilsy, they're guilty.
Speaker 12 (09:59):
I'm you know, I'm calling it now. I'm out of
the game. I'm going to go and play Mariot by myself.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
It feels like you're family board and you're like, I
don't want.
Speaker 12 (10:08):
To play anything in the game exactly, And this is
why you should never play a competitive game with me.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
This is a televised trial. Okay, so we need mad.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
He's in the game. I reckon ye let's keeping the game.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
I assume he just hearted it out of his generosity.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Unhearted it because.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
He was like, I don't know what I'm on your side, Madie, Well,
I'm going on bloody blocking.
Speaker 7 (10:39):
Tash now.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Also riled up you gain.
Speaker 12 (10:48):
I love you too, I love you too, but I'm
winning this bloody game.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Maddy McLean is still in the best still something in
the sun, like still in the game for something Christmas.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
It's really to quite in it.
Speaker 11 (11:02):
The hits that johnaan Ben podcast play last night.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
It was incredible. Megan and I were lucky enough to
go along.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
It was just an amazing experience of the light up bracelets,
the huge balloons, the fireworks and fetti, even three D
glasses at one stage.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Just joyous, incredible.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
Isn't the concert already in three dimensions though?
Speaker 1 (11:20):
And really yeah they added another.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
So you put the glasses on and they make every
light you see a heart.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yeah, all stars as well for.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Someone that's really cool, beautiful.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, it's amazing what they did.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
And if you get a chance to go along the
Friday Saturday night Eden Park, get tickets.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
It's just incredible.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
We said it was worth a light assault or the
threat of an assault. Yeah, like if you're waiting outside
the gates to meet to part, go, Hey, buddy, I
could get the bit fisty cuffee. If you don't give
me your tickets, don't actually follow through. But it's worth
that you see.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Well, well, I reluctantly said that he brought joy and love,
and Chris Martin was just, I don't feel like that's
the violence.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
Is okay, definitely not the vibeck pocketing.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Pick pocketing no one gets.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
It's not worth any white collar crime, okay, like some
sort of text of asion all violence.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
It's not the coldplay word.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
So you could you tickets? You know how they copy money?
Could you do that with the tickets?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
White get some tickets legitimately and enjoy. It's amazing, Chris Martin,
you actually recorded to.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Yeah, this was Viva Leavita last night. The crowd singing along.
That's my husband.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
I found a little self, not just setting extent some
stage you can sing. I can't clearly you've.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Heard me this morning, but I'm getting into it. It's
so cool to see Kiwi's up and about it was incredible.
But Chris Martin, when he travels the world and he
talked about this last last night on stage, he said,
I've got a bit of grief, not quite how you
describe it, but a bit of grief when he arrived
in New Zealand for doing this, because he kisses the
ground before.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
He leaves on a plane and when he lands.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
So you were telling me about this before the show
last night, and then he mentioned it at the show
that when he arrived he kisses the ground.
Speaker 10 (13:00):
Still does it.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
The tarmac of the runway.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I think ahead of a flight that he didn't think
he was going to survive, he felt lucky to be alive.
And so now he's a kind of little I guess,
a superstition and also being thankful for landing.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
He kisses the ground.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
His lips would taste like a rubber and aviation film.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
He's a kiss the earth kind of like I feel
like he gets off the time ac and then because
the because.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
They're the concert, you can power power it with bikes.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
And all sorts, and you can jump on these little
trampolines that will power it as well.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
So floor he's definitely haugged tree wrapped his hands around thee.
But I get that, you know, if you didn't know
the backstory of it, that it actually came from a
harrowing experience, just a guy going you know, because if
we're catching a JIT Star flight and you know, what's
he doing.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
At the audit today? When we get to christ you
why don't you feel you.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
We'll all kiss the ground, you know once been start
something like that. That's gonna because you don't you touch
the plane before touch the chase, cuddle the plane before
we go and kiss the ground with you.
Speaker 14 (14:00):
Right.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
That wasn't for me. That was for a friend of ours, Jeremy.
He's like, always touched. It's good luck. You've got to
touch the door on the.
Speaker 15 (14:04):
Way now getting to third base with the airport, No,
do you need us to leave it nice if we
can have some long time with the planes and stuff,
but that would be great.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
So we want to know Andrew the hats.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
We started this couple of days ago, like Chris Martin,
why you're lucky to be alive.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Yeah, you can give us text to four for age seven.
We'd love to love to get your calls and texts
on you. And there's been some incredible stories, so gentlemen,
we spoke to the other day rollers cast seven times.
Then he was like, oh, I can't be late for work,
pulled his skateboard out of his boot, skateboarded eighty k
eighty kilometers to the farm, did a twelve hour shift
on the farm.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Then was like, oh, but sore amazing.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Realized you'd been concussed all day, multiple broken bones and legend.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Yeah, just incredible. So those are the types of stories
we want.
Speaker 11 (14:52):
The heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
About Why You're Lucky to be Alive.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
It's been a special three parts series this week Traumatic
three parts.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Aw some people, some wild stories. This incredible. They keep
coming through the text and the calls Michelle.
Speaker 12 (15:05):
How are you hi? I'm good.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
How are you good?
Speaker 5 (15:08):
We understand you're lucky to be here.
Speaker 14 (15:10):
I am Yeah. I when I was thirteen, I got
caught in a ripped out in Pha.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
I've never been caught in a rip, but I imagine
panic stations, which is not what you.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
Mean to do, is it.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
No?
Speaker 14 (15:23):
Yeah, after getting bashed around for quite some time, it's
felt like I went into a air bubble. So it
was like that felt safe.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Oh my god, so you're thinking you're going to die.
Speaker 14 (15:37):
Yeah, after choking and coffee and going trying to be
you know how, you know, another wave came down and
you know, took me right under. So that happened quite
a few times. Yeah, it kind of just felt like I.
Speaker 16 (15:52):
Was face in this air bubble, underwater, and then finally
came back up again, and a surfer came and put
me on his board and took me back in.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
So oh my goodness.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
So there was an ear bubble under the water.
Speaker 14 (16:08):
Is that what you're saying, Well, yeah, it felt like
I'd gone into an like a big air bubble, like
a balloon. It was like it just felt like, okay, yeah,
I feel safe. Now.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Do you think that might have been you nearly nearly.
Speaker 14 (16:20):
Going, nearly dying. Yeah, I really do, and I'm now
and I was thirteen when it happened.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
So that was in that surfer boy.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Oh boy, honestly, I'm.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Scared of that.
Speaker 14 (16:34):
And to this day, I really really regret not saying
thank you to that guy.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Oh listen, I don't think he would blame you. You
had a lot of stuff going on.
Speaker 14 (16:44):
Yeah, it took me probably, i'd say, twenty five years
to go back to Peter And even now I was
still only go knee length and my kids are out
their surfing and but yeah, no, I'm still too scared
to go.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
And from a mother's point of view too, And I'm
not a mother, but I imagine it's quite hard after you've
gone through an experience like that to let your children
then go out.
Speaker 14 (17:07):
Oh I'm always right there. I'm like, oh my gosh,
I get so nervous, and but I just slipped them.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Yeah, you got to let them.
Speaker 14 (17:16):
Do it because I don't want to be that helicopter parents.
But you know, it doesn't take long to get swept out.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
And so what would your advice be after being caught
in a rip? If anyone finds themselves in that situation.
Speaker 14 (17:30):
Try not to penece. I guess there's not really much
you can do. You can, well, I think you're supposed
to swim diagonally towards the beach. But I didn't know
that at that time.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
No, and you're not thinking. You probably don't know what
direction you're in or yeah, thanks again, thank you for sharing.
Appreciate you.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
Go and they have a great day.
Speaker 14 (17:46):
That's all right, you two guys.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Mandy, you're lucky to be alive.
Speaker 17 (17:51):
Yeah. Eight years ago, when I had my baby, I
lost three quarters of the blood in my body. Cheez. Yeah, yeah,
it didn't look so good. I had to be an
ICU for a couple of nights, and luckily there were
some good doctors and nurses on hand to saved my
life and my baby and I were okay, was that
a cesarean or was that a No, it was a cesarean,
(18:14):
but they didn't realize that the placenta was attached to
the uterus until they.
Speaker 9 (18:18):
Opened me up.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Do you actually remember it?
Speaker 18 (18:21):
Oh?
Speaker 17 (18:21):
Yeah, yeah it was. It was pretty hectic.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
What do you feel like?
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Was three quarters of your blood draining from your body?
Speaker 17 (18:28):
What are you?
Speaker 7 (18:29):
Are?
Speaker 12 (18:29):
You?
Speaker 17 (18:30):
Kind of you kind of feel really woozy and like
on your way above your body out of kind of
like out of.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Out of life, out of body experience.
Speaker 14 (18:39):
It did feel like that, yeah, wow.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
And so what do they do in that situation? Are
they trying to put pump blood into you as it's
draining out or they have to stop the bleeding?
Speaker 17 (18:48):
And then they Yeah, they had to obviously try and
stop the bleeding first, and then luckily there were blood
donors that had donated blood and pumped a whole lot
of blood into me.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Cheez.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
And that's why that's so important. At what point were
you're like, this is this is going bad? When did
you think of something? Because I imagine they would all
start to get quite panicky around the table.
Speaker 17 (19:07):
Yeah, when they when they started calling for extra doctors.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
You're like, why, why, why do we need more doctors?
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Because she had that curtain up and you just you
fairly are working on you, but you're not aware of
what they're doing.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
They would have been terrifying.
Speaker 17 (19:21):
And my poor husband was he didn't know what was
going on because when the anthetist went out to tell
him what had happened, he said he had such a
poker face on. He thought that it was the end
for me.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Keeps saying the steer around. So glad that you're you're
safe and well now and you made it through that ordeal.
Speaker 14 (19:40):
Yeah, all good.
Speaker 11 (19:41):
The hits that Jona and Ben podcast Me and You showed.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Us a photo of Sabrina Carbda singing a song next
to Taylor Swift. Now, Sabrina Carveda, was she like three
foot five?
Speaker 3 (19:52):
She the start of that song is like I leave
quite an impression. Five feet to be exact, she's like
five ft.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
Oh, she's given us your measurements, you know, Like she's
very petite, isn't she? And Taylor Swift is an overly tool.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
She's pretty tall. Taylor Swift is pretty tall. She's one
point seven eight, so it looks taller than me.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
So she was doing a jewet with a toddler.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
And she was wearing massive heels too, was even smaller.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Than you can write the hell of a song.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
That's a great song.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Now.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
I don't know about you guys, but there's one I
enjoy a conversation. I love a conversation, but there's one
place I'd rather not talk, and that's in the bathroom.
When you're in the bathroom, it feels like that if
there's a conversation going on between somebody who's outside the
bathroom and you, I'm like the house bitter be burning down.
That's the only time I want to have a conversation
when I'm in the bathroom.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
You're not solving the big wielded issues in the book
Israel and Palestine.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
You're not going to knock it off on the side
of bathroom.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
But every parent listening right now will know that kids,
you know, for many years, kids will just you know,
for us, kids will and that burriers. They've got to
ask you something that's not important.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
It's just another room in the house to them.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Yeah, but I thought maybe my time of bathroom conversations
had stopped, you know, like the conversations where You've just you.
And I like to think sometimes if I need to
go to the bathroom, I like to think, have I
had all the conversations with people in the room before,
I take five minutes for myself just to do what
I need to do.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
And I did this over the weekend.
Speaker 6 (21:10):
Did you do five minutes?
Speaker 5 (21:11):
Show you're a prolific guy.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
You didn't get stuff done quickly?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Oh yeah, and whatever you need to do with the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
But you know, over the weekend, I'd been to the supermarket,
my my daughter had some friends around for a party
and stuff. So I've done all that, put the food away,
done all some things. I thought, well, you know, I'm
just going to go to the bathroom, get sorted, do
what I need to do.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
You know it's fresh en up, yeah, fresh enough, treat yourself.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
And then I get a conversation while I'm sitting there
for my wife and like this bit of knock and
this bit of be important. After I've been told to
get fruit in the list of things and getting things
off my list, I'm like, oh, this is important. The
house burning down is like She's like, don't tell me
you paid twelve dollars for half a watermelon. This is
the conversation gone, well, you know well and then I
(21:53):
can we do it later?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Does this have to be a conversation right now? Like
right now?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
And then I was like, well, no, I won't tell you.
I pad like, what do you want me to do? Like,
clearly I did? This is aptly it's a conversation I
don't want to have and a redundant conversation. You clearly
have seen the price. Why are we doing this conversation? Like, well,
isn't it?
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Don't tell me? You're like, well, yes, I did a situation.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
I don't want to have a conversation, and so I'm like, well,
I won't tell you that. Then I'm like, why could
we not wait until I come out?
Speaker 6 (22:26):
And did you continue the conversation afterwards?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I came out of the what's with that? Like we're
going to have that conversation now?
Speaker 3 (22:32):
It's typically guys, consider that your me time, mate, like
that's your special time.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
A special but it a.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Lot of time and the pet, your phone in there,
and it's just weird.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Nice to have a little bit of time out from
every one, but anyone discussed the price.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I paid way too much for a half all.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
There's no good way to bring that up with you,
because if you came out and she was like, hey,
so in future, let's not pay twelve dollars for half
a watermelon?
Speaker 19 (22:59):
That sounds passive, so does please don't tell me it's
twenty four bucks for an entire.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
I was in the market for a full.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Question stands, what were you thinking?
Speaker 1 (23:10):
I wasn't. I was in my just get stuff done phase.
I was like, what did you want? Watermelon? Donner and
the trolley? Yeah? And I shouldn't have pay that much.
It's way too much. I know that the supermarkets know that,
but I did it. I'm the sucker that did it.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Quick?
Speaker 6 (36:31):
Jeez, I feel like that.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
You've got you got. I'm out of this game. I
was terrible anything.
Speaker 6 (36:35):
Mathematic, No, but I don't.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
You're not getting fifty of those in a meter.
Speaker 6 (36:41):
But that's a meter, right, that's about Now, this is
a great for radio.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
We're just.
Speaker 6 (36:45):
That's about a meter out.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
It's got about twenty and there.
Speaker 6 (36:51):
Yeah, I would agree.
Speaker 5 (36:53):
Okay, how was that for some science?
Speaker 1 (36:57):
I think this guy's twenty one?
Speaker 10 (36:58):
Then twenty six, we're going for twenty six five fives.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Yeah, that's good to go with it.
Speaker 10 (37:03):
That's incorrect.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Is it the highest one?
Speaker 10 (37:07):
No, so it's the thirty nine point five to five.
Speaker 19 (37:09):
So there's two and a half centimeters to an inch,
and therefore it wouldn't be fifty obviously. I worked this
out sort of roughly, but yeah, it's like two and
a half for us.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Yeah, brain on you trying to wear that out?
Speaker 5 (37:24):
He seen on that. There we go with.
Speaker 11 (37:34):
It. May even be back to the hits that johnoan
Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
To cold Play the first of three concerts in New Zealand,
fifty seven thousand people there, Megan yourself and I went along.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Incredible, a just amazing.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Where do we even start? They have those wristbands that
everyone knows about that lights up.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Like ankle bracelets. I saw someone write today on a review.
They do kind of look like but every every concert
should have them. They're just incredible how it just brings
everyone together and lights up different songs.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
Qustion though the lights draw hearts in the crowd. It's
like there must be like geo tagged or like, how
does it know where you are?
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Incredible stuff?
Speaker 6 (38:12):
Yeah, maybe it is just your hand the bands back, Yeah, what.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
You meant to?
Speaker 2 (38:15):
I mean, I guess if you really wanted to get
work outside the whole time you're there. They don't work
until it's super so and then it comes on and
then yellow. It all lights up yellow and then it flicks.
So they've they've timed it. Not every song has bands,
they've got confiti, they've got fireworks, they've got.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
Three der glasses.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Just an amazing spectacle, Like just incredible, unbelievable stuff. So
if you're going along orf Hen get some tickets over
the next couple of days. I couldn't recommend it enough.
It's just an incredible experience. Chris Martin lovely.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Just a lovely, just a wholesome guy. It just seems
like that.
Speaker 3 (38:48):
He did a part where he reads out people's signs
in the crowd and he brought them up on stage
to sing with him, and then there was another part
where he focuses on people in.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
The audience and makes it look so a little poem
about that.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
Yeah, here's one I think you've got and we got
that one loaded in a girl who'd like a super miroo. Yeah, yeah,
well cold Play films are always the best.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
I'm so happy to see you waving to me with
that super girls your chest And then he goes.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
To someone else in the crowd and do a little
song of them and another one and like that was
actually really really cool.
Speaker 5 (39:29):
As well charming British.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
You want some listed audio, I think I've got some
audio when they first came out at the start with
me just prattling away over the top of that kind
of kind of like it was radio for some reason.
Speaker 6 (39:40):
Are you common? Are you doing commentary?
Speaker 1 (39:44):
And then I'd stop, Yeah, but this is the start.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
Of upright recording a listen recording gold Play.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
That's amazing amount of light. I'm race. Let's what's going
off there? We go a Chris mart taking away. Let's
go play. You're at a park, you're.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
On that's a person next to you, like, yeah, I
can see everything you're.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Describing, but just was just an unbelievable experience here to
go along last night. Incredible, And there was one great
moment because he's going around the crowd and he's talking
to all the different areas as well, and then he
was like you over there in the AA insurance part
and I was like, oh, AA insurance will be loving that.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
The guy who signed off or the girls signed off on.
Speaker 6 (40:26):
That told you that Eden Park deal was going to
pay off.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
Chris Martin just side checked.
Speaker 6 (40:31):
I got my good name to that Den Park deal.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
He even said one stage, Chris Martin, it's good to
be like a British person here on Eden Park and
not be spanked by the all Blacks as well.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
It's just not what happens.
Speaker 5 (40:42):
So yeah, wonderful, So.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
Get along if you get a chance.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
I talked to someone yesterday who just got tickets on
the day yesterday.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
I managed to get tickets on the day. I don't
know if someone was couldn't go whatever.
Speaker 5 (40:51):
So there probably his opportunities to get along it waiting
outside Eden Park and maybe beating up someone for their tickets.
Speaker 6 (40:58):
Would you say the concert is that.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
I think Chris Marndin will probably frown upon that.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
Yeah, vibe is all about love.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
He goes around, he thanks everyone from security and people
clean the floors, the parents, picking people up like just heartfelt. Yes,
So I don't know if it's quite the vibe for
beating up. It's it's probably worth a court case. But
I wouldn't say beating up some.
Speaker 5 (41:17):
Maybe politely go hey, I will I will use violence
like you pitch it.
Speaker 6 (41:22):
Don't actually, you know, use the violence, but get the
ticket violence.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
Yeah, the heads.
Speaker 11 (41:28):
That jonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 5 (41:29):
So we thought, hey, well we can't listen to the
actual recording of Mariah Carey singing great Song, The Great
Song that is all I Want for Christmas? Megan, you
had a wonderful alternative.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
God, I mean we could, we could almost treat people
to this when when they dip out.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
But so the loser version of the song.
Speaker 3 (41:47):
Since you've been doing such a fantastic job singing the
Inger Boys music.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
But my uncle John from Jamaica and he's calling every day.
Speaker 6 (41:57):
That's my favorite.
Speaker 1 (42:00):
Am I singing a punchline?
Speaker 5 (42:01):
My uncle John from Jamaica like the opposite of Jamaica.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (42:06):
We had an artist in our midst.
Speaker 6 (42:08):
We don't not me, so we present to you the voice.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
Oh God, this one take one, take only, and my
timing was awful.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
Let's not play the hole this partic play a little bit. Oh,
I do something to start?
Speaker 4 (42:20):
That was just the instrument until this doesn't count.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
Ah, don't want a lot for Christmas? Orgies are gone
too fast? Is that there?
Speaker 11 (42:31):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (42:31):
There is just one thing I need.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
I don't care about the presence underneath the Christmas treep.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
There was a lot slow. I just want you for
my own.
Speaker 6 (42:45):
Can I say we don't need the feedback in between the.
Speaker 4 (42:50):
Turn this microphone off.
Speaker 1 (42:51):
I'm trying to enjoy it more than you could ever know.
Speaker 2 (42:56):
Make my worst CAPTU. I want for Christmas. That's why
I didn't sing It's time Megan.
Speaker 1 (43:10):
You It took a long time to get into this
and then it makes out of the base. No take back,
don't take two.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
I don't a lot for Christmas.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
There is just one thing I need, and I don't
care the backing. I'm good, Chris, I don't Okay, that's enough.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
So when you hear that, when you hear that, it
was not the whole thing. Dear God, we can't play
the whole leg again.
Speaker 5 (43:40):
Can you go to the inb I'll try to, but yeah,
the the I love the backing singers, like, we'll.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
Try to help you out and you can't help me out.
Speaker 2 (43:50):
This won't make me happy that try on Christmas Day? Okay,
So we played the game fourth grade. It's even on
the text. When you're out and whenever out, we'll play
the extra version and not that version of Mariah Carey.
Speaker 11 (44:03):
On the hits the Jona and Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (44:05):
I'll play incredible scenes at Eden Park started the whole
thing with a Harka.
Speaker 1 (44:10):
So it was Meghan, you recorded it.
Speaker 3 (44:12):
Yeah, they took to the I don't even know who
to credit for the Kappa Harker group, but they took
to the stage and everyone was involved.
Speaker 6 (44:26):
I know who to recredit credit for that audio.
Speaker 5 (44:28):
That is Megan Peppers recording journalism and it's fine.
Speaker 1 (44:31):
So it was.
Speaker 2 (44:32):
It wasn't incredible from the bracelets they have, the light
up bracelets, the balloons, the fireworks and three D glasses.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
Everything was there even yeah it was.
Speaker 2 (44:41):
There was puppets and the logistics were just like what
goes on to put together a console like that and
to bring it to New Zealand to tell us more
about it. Is nixt All that he's the CEO of
Eden Park and he joins us this morning, Good morning, Neck,
thanks so much for talking.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
We're doing all right. What a spectacular show last night,
Eden Park.
Speaker 7 (44:57):
What an experience you said.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
I saw you as a as I walked inside, and
you said, this is the one of, if not the
best conserpt you'd seen. You'd seen it already and it
did not disappoint.
Speaker 7 (45:06):
There is just every element of the show, and you
see young children and you're seeing grandparents at the event.
It exceeds everyone's expectations. What's pretty amazing considering it's such
a phenomenal show.
Speaker 5 (45:17):
I can imagine I imagine a huge success for dam Park.
Speaker 13 (45:20):
Now.
Speaker 5 (45:20):
I just live a couple of streets away. Can you
do me a favor and just turn it down a
bit Friday and Saturday.
Speaker 7 (45:26):
I didn't realize this was a complaint.
Speaker 4 (45:29):
Yeah, what are you complaining about? Free concert?
Speaker 1 (45:32):
A little bit pitchure. It was amazing.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
How what does it take to put on a console
like that? Because you go along last night and they
had everything light up, bracelets, fireworks, confetti, like just a
huge stage screen.
Speaker 4 (45:46):
How are the things I.
Speaker 1 (45:47):
Mean what sort of like how what are we talking
to put something on?
Speaker 7 (45:50):
Well, we talk about having a game plan and seven
values and behaviors, customer service, attention to detail, it's sending expectations,
all of these things. Often people come to events and
they forget their mortgage. They come, they experience and they
go and they in the background there's three thousand staffs
that are delivering that event, and the relentless planning takes
(46:10):
many years. Often when you look at Coldplay, they've been
touring since twenty twenty two, it's they're the biggest rock
band in the world. It's the biggest tour in history.
Their team are just such a delight to deal with,
and you just leave with a sense of pride after
a big night, and all of us left pretty early.
(46:32):
You can imagine there's a fair bit of cleaning that
goes on.
Speaker 5 (46:35):
So when do they start bringing Like when does the
first track arrive with Chris Martin's clothes and pieces and
you start loading everything in.
Speaker 7 (46:43):
So we're about seven days out. You have things like
flooring that goes down, so turf protection, there's a whole
range of elements. Then you've got to consider that they
had shows in both Melbourne and Sydney, so it's the
logistics of coming across from Australia. Often we're either the
first or the last show. And we've got to remember
that Eden Park for one hundred and twenty years couldn't
(47:04):
have concerts. What was just insane.
Speaker 2 (47:06):
Oh, people will be very excited about going this weekend
after you know everything that everyone said about it playing
this week in Friday and Saturday night.
Speaker 1 (47:12):
What was the one moment for you? Did you have
a moment? For me?
Speaker 2 (47:15):
It was when Yellow came on and all the bracelets
let up yellow and I was just like, this is
incredible and just singing, everyone singing.
Speaker 1 (47:20):
But did you have a moment?
Speaker 7 (47:22):
Yeah, Well, Stifle the Stars was my wedding dance with
my wife and Coldplays a band that we've seen previously,
but it was always on our bucket list to get
to Eden Park. So we had a son only five
weeks ago and he was back a house. My father
in law had flown over at two am yesterday to
do some babysitting, so my wife would come along to
(47:42):
the show and just to stand there. We were just
so proud and there wasn't a person that didn't come
up to us when they were leaving and saying thank
you so much for the experience, And yeah, it makes
you feel so proud in the team at Eden Park
and what we've delivered. You've got to remember this was
shown number one seventy three. Been touring for close to
three years, so to be able to come to a
(48:04):
venue that has that manna, this is something that is
really special too.
Speaker 1 (48:07):
You said that, didn't you last night?
Speaker 2 (48:08):
He is like, we had to go through like one
hundred and seventy two your rehearsals just for this skegg,
but I think we're good to go, which and they
definitely were.
Speaker 7 (48:16):
Yeah, well that's he said. I can tell that this
is one of my favorite shows. And as I say,
to think that we weren't able to hold concerts and
now the lineup that we've had since from starting with
six sixty and we had a number of the band
members there last night and they were the first band
to perform at Eden Park. And then people talked about
the Pink Show and how phenomenal that was. But I
(48:37):
think last night that's been my favorite.
Speaker 2 (48:39):
It's like putting on a party, like you have people
over from a barbecue, but you're doing it for fifty
seven thousand people roll you know, it must be that
sense of like anything could go wrong.
Speaker 1 (48:47):
You hope it doesn't.
Speaker 7 (48:48):
Yeah, you do get nervous because you go there's fifty
thousand people's lives in your hands and you want to
make sure that they're safe and they have a great experience.
Speaker 1 (48:57):
But there was a.
Speaker 3 (48:58):
Lot of love in that place last night, and I
think the crowd was so well behaved.
Speaker 4 (49:03):
Yeah, everyone had such the best time.
Speaker 7 (49:05):
No, thank you so much. And yeah, there was such
a great spirit in that crowd. And the love is
something that we talked about our team, the love that
they have for the park. I'm sure now we have
another fifty plus thousand people have another connection with Eden
Park and Chris Martin and the team will be pumped
to be back on Friday night.
Speaker 2 (49:23):
Well, thank you so much for your time this morning,
very early after a concert, late night concert, so we
really appreciate it. Next on, thanks again for helping bring
Colba to New Zealand.
Speaker 7 (49:32):
Thanks so much, guys, I really appreciate it.
This Ghoon on Being podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Hey, that's us, brought to you by Hello Fresh, the
Experts and Tastes that Kiwis love. Welcome to the podcast
on a Thursday morning. Me again, you're running off about
a four hour sleep.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
Oh less than that, probably three hours last night and
then four hours the night before because I did a
double hitter Lord of the Rings musical.
Speaker 4 (00:19):
Which was fantastic. Golum was incredible.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
In fact, the guy that played Golan was probably the
most incredible thing I've seen on a musical stage.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
No, we didn't see John O there, but then I
was Golin was like, was that John all alone?
Speaker 5 (00:32):
Pretty incredible?
Speaker 3 (00:33):
When Gold turned out, I was like I said to Andrew,
I was like, think that looks a lot like John.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
I never seen the turn of them in the same
the same time. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
I have an eagle on his chest with some boats
boats on his guts.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Well, I did have a lot more tetto's that I
remember from It's really good. Maybe it was John. And
then last night, of course our coldplay, which we.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Get to reflect on a lot. Talk to the CEO
of Eaton Park on the podcast today.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
Really interesting to.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
See the I'm just I don't know why I've reached
at the stage in my life when I'm thinking of
logistics of you know, when you go to a concert,
you're enjoying it, but you're also thinking, how the heck
do they put this together?
Speaker 5 (01:08):
I know. Yeah, there's a lot that goes into it
when you're looking at it.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
Yeah, even just doing the fan trail, so there's a
you can walk from the city center of Auckland to
Eden Park and there's just stuff all along the way
for you to enjoy.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Yeah, that's awesome.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
And the Mariah Carey game, it continues on. We're still
trying to avoid listening to Mariah Carey All I Want
for Christmas. However, as you're going to hear at the
beginning of the podcast, very very mischievous listenersh has been
trying to catch up Meddi and PJ in the afternoon,
and we get Meddie.
Speaker 6 (01:36):
McLean on to defend this.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Here's trying to avoid the Mariah Carey song All I
Want for Christmas for as long as possible. It's a
fun little Christmas game we're playing. As we keep saying
we love the song. We just thought it was the
most iconic song and could we go live our lives
without hearing it on social media and shops wherever. As
soon as you hear it, you're out of the game.
You can start playing now if you're not playing.
Speaker 5 (01:58):
Yeah, we actually I should call this number of someone
who had a great idea yesterday because we are not
allowed to listen to the recorded version of Mariah Carey's
But there was a suggestion that came through that maybe
we get Ben to sing it.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
You're doing such a great job of singing the Vinger Boys.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I haven't really, to be honest, I feel like I'm
a punchline, you know.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
I feel like you're laughing at me my lack of singing.
And I've got some great singers of the country right now.
Chris Martin forcole Play. We had Eddie Vida from Bell Jam.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Ben Boyce found talent.
Speaker 6 (02:29):
You're mocking me.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
I feel like punch But someone actually suggested that since
we can't listen to the Mariah version, that we get
Ben to do a version of it. All right now?
They text four for eight seven and this is yris
Ki Reward Stuff calling them live on air. I tell
you hello, Hey, They answered, what's your name?
Speaker 7 (02:46):
Ben?
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Ben? Now, Ben, we loved your suggestion. A bit of
a workaround so we could hear the song of Ben
Boys singing Mariah Carey.
Speaker 8 (02:55):
You know, well, he's a man of the people, and
he's done such a good job with with the Venger Boys.
I thought, you know, one, what better way to send
us hear it with a lovely rendition?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yea, whoa, we're going to I beat that. That's my
Bigger Boys vision. So you won't want to hear that
before nine o'clock. Oh yeah, So we took on your suggestion.
I was like, hey, I'm like Frank sin Archie apparently
only did one take in the studio.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Sometimes we regretted that.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
So I'm like, yesterday, one take, one take only, and
I did it and it wasn't great.
Speaker 6 (03:25):
Ever, Listen, I.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Don't want a lot for Christmas. There is just one
thing I need, and I don't care about the present
underneath the Christmas tree.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
I don't, oh God.
Speaker 6 (03:41):
So being we're happy, happy with the end result.
Speaker 8 (03:46):
As long as people smile from it, what's a better result.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
It was a great suggestion, Ben, Okay, so you'll now
hear that when you're out of the game.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Now that's the song some of it, so you don't
want to be out of the game. Believe you meet.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Thanks for listening to the show, Ben, We appreciate.
Speaker 8 (03:58):
It, no worries. Enjoy the rest of youday.
Speaker 5 (04:01):
A lot of people jumping on board with this campaign
as well, and we have Tash, who a bit of
a saboteur.
Speaker 6 (04:07):
If you will, Tash your cheeky little.
Speaker 5 (04:09):
Monkey, Hello, how are you good? Lovely to have you on.
Thank you so much fiercely for really being invested in
the we Wish you weld carry Christmas campaign. Trying to
avoid listening to All I Want for Christmas, You've been
trying to sabotage the lovable, the lovable, relatable. Maddy McClain.
Speaker 9 (04:29):
Yes, well yeah, Oh so what I did is I
created a post and it had like a thumbnail of
just like Maddy and Pj's face, and you know, and
then I said something in the capsuin. I was like,
this language is not appropriate, because then I was like, oh,
Maddie will definitely want to because you're not getting frames
(04:51):
for something you didn't do.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
So you put this out on social media and the
hope that he'd he would view it, he would listen
to it was.
Speaker 9 (05:01):
Just like it was. I lifted like for like two
seconds silence, and I was like, oh, you keep listening
to like think of it, and then it went like
the start of the song and then like I could
just I was just envisioning his face.
Speaker 5 (05:12):
What and then he goes, ah, don't yeah great, And
you can tell when people have viewed a video, has
he has he seen it? Has he left you on scene?
Speaker 9 (05:22):
So what he did to is he liked the story
and then he unliked it and I have screened on.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Like that and then he went.
Speaker 10 (05:31):
Do you think he liked it?
Speaker 1 (05:33):
And then listened to it and I can't like this.
Speaker 5 (05:35):
I've got a Matthew, and you've got receipts, as they say, recepts.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
The receipts.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
I love, So technically he could be out of the game. Honestly,
think he could be out of the game.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
Tasha, do you suggest we make a call to Matthew McLean? Yeah, okay, Well,
thank you so much for for the intel the inside
word there, which would mean then PJ and Maddie and
Serra producers here in the afternoon, the.
Speaker 11 (06:04):
Hits that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
And the Mariah Carey game that we're playing for Christmas
where we try and see how long we can avoid
hearing the song.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
What you hear the song?
Speaker 2 (06:13):
No matter where you are, no matter if you're just
scrolling through social media, you're out of the game. We
had Tash before, who set some sort of parent trap situation,
like for Maddy McLean.
Speaker 5 (06:22):
Right, Yeah, she'd set up a burner account and Sid
posted a picture of him and PJ going, I can't
believe you would say this, and then had given the
soundtrack or added the soundtrack of All I Want for Christmas,
hoping that they would click on it, and Meddie joins
us on the phone. Now, good morning, Hello, good morning,
lovely to have you on. Have we've been pumping iron,
(06:43):
getting the cardio happening this morning.
Speaker 12 (06:45):
It's an till it's a till morning this morning.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
Next, you've got to have your rest days exactly.
Speaker 12 (06:51):
You can't push up too hard, John.
Speaker 6 (06:53):
And I don't.
Speaker 5 (06:54):
I don't listen the Mariah Carey game. It's been fun.
Pj's out, she's she was listening to it, and so
Chia cake Shop in Marterton. And now you're the only
you're the last one standing in the afternoon.
Speaker 12 (07:08):
It feels like a lot of pressure on my shoulders.
I'm not gonna lie. It's a scary prospect.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
So you're still in the game. You're still in the
game one hundred percent.
Speaker 12 (07:15):
I'm still in the game.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Okay. So well, well that's okay.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
That's that's your story that you're sticking with.
Speaker 12 (07:21):
That's my story. What do you mean now?
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Listen, Tash has got in touch with us. Tash's she's
been a little tricky.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Yeah, now, we we promised there's a show.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
We promised to play nice as your show, so that
we've had nothing to do with this other than it's
come because they come across our desk even though we
have a disc, but it makes it sound more powerful.
Let's come across our desk hogany disk? Yeah, okay, this
is from Tash.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
Okay, have listen.
Speaker 9 (07:46):
So what I did is I created a pulse and
it had like a thumbnail of just like Maddy and
Pj's face, and you know, I mean I said something
in the captain. I was like, this language is not appropriate.
Because then I was like, oh, Maddie, we'll definitely want
to because you're not getting frames for something you didn't do.
It was just like it was I lifted like for
(08:09):
like two seconds silence, and I was like, oh, you
keep listening to like and then it went like the
start of the song and then like, So what he
did do is he liked the story and then he
unliked it. And I have screened on.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Like that so many Yeah, Okay, can I just say
we have always.
Speaker 7 (08:27):
Not come.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
This is Hey, we have some loyal lestens.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
This is great, outrageous behave Okay.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Would you like to change your response answer the question?
Speaker 12 (08:41):
No, I am sticking to my response. And here is
the very sad thing for Tash, who should not be
doing that because we agree sabotage was out.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Oh we did, but I guess the people, Yeah, they're
on their own. We can't. We can't be responsible for everyone.
Speaker 12 (08:57):
The sad news fatage is there. I don't care for
listening to people's stories on.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
So you didn't hear it?
Speaker 12 (09:07):
Never have my, fuck my, I never have the sound
tuned up, So I did not hear a single thing.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
But you're tempted to go, what language was I using?
Speaker 13 (09:16):
You know, because here's the thing, this makes so much
sense because I saw those I did see the stories,
but I keep waiting for a video to appear, and
so we no video appeared. I kept thinking, so I
didn't even realize there was sound attached to it, So.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Why did you like it? And then unlike, I don't
think I did like the screenshots. Babes.
Speaker 12 (09:40):
Look all I'm saying, I feel like I'm tripping over myird.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
No further questions, You're.
Speaker 12 (09:48):
Look, i'mpleting one.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Of those moments. I get a little rental, they get
a little frazzle, A lawyer goes. No more questions. You're like, oh,
they're jilsy, they're guilty.
Speaker 12 (09:59):
I'm you know, I'm calling it now. I'm out of
the game. I'm going to go and play Mariot by myself.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
It feels like you're family board and you're like, I
don't want.
Speaker 12 (10:08):
To play anything in the game exactly, And this is
why you should never play a competitive game with me.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
This is a televised trial. Okay, so we need mad.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
He's in the game. I reckon ye let's keeping the game.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
I assume he just hearted it out of his generosity.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Unhearted it because.
Speaker 5 (10:33):
He was like, I don't know what I'm on your side, Madie, Well,
I'm going on bloody blocking.
Speaker 7 (10:39):
Tash now.
Speaker 5 (10:43):
Also riled up you gain.
Speaker 12 (10:48):
I love you too, I love you too, but I'm
winning this bloody game.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Maddy McLean is still in the best still something in
the sun, like still in the game for something Christmas.
Speaker 1 (10:59):
It's really to quite in it.
Speaker 11 (11:02):
The hits that johnaan Ben podcast play last night.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
It was incredible. Megan and I were lucky enough to
go along.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
It was just an amazing experience of the light up bracelets,
the huge balloons, the fireworks and fetti, even three D
glasses at one stage.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Just joyous, incredible.
Speaker 5 (11:17):
Isn't the concert already in three dimensions though?
Speaker 1 (11:20):
And really yeah they added another.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
So you put the glasses on and they make every
light you see a heart.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Yeah, all stars as well for.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Someone that's really cool, beautiful.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Yeah, it's amazing what they did.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
And if you get a chance to go along the
Friday Saturday night Eden Park, get tickets.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
It's just incredible.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
We said it was worth a light assault or the
threat of an assault. Yeah, like if you're waiting outside
the gates to meet to part, go, Hey, buddy, I
could get the bit fisty cuffee. If you don't give
me your tickets, don't actually follow through. But it's worth
that you see.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Well, well, I reluctantly said that he brought joy and love,
and Chris Martin was just, I don't feel like that's
the violence.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
Is okay, definitely not the vibeck pocketing.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
Pick pocketing no one gets.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
It's not worth any white collar crime, okay, like some
sort of text of asion all violence.
Speaker 4 (12:08):
It's not the coldplay word.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Okay.
Speaker 5 (12:10):
So you could you tickets? You know how they copy money?
Could you do that with the tickets?
Speaker 2 (12:14):
White get some tickets legitimately and enjoy. It's amazing, Chris Martin,
you actually recorded to.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Yeah, this was Viva Leavita last night. The crowd singing along.
That's my husband.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
I found a little self, not just setting extent some
stage you can sing. I can't clearly you've.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
Heard me this morning, but I'm getting into it. It's
so cool to see Kiwi's up and about it was incredible.
But Chris Martin, when he travels the world and he
talked about this last last night on stage, he said,
I've got a bit of grief, not quite how you
describe it, but a bit of grief when he arrived
in New Zealand for doing this, because he kisses the
ground before.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
He leaves on a plane and when he lands.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
So you were telling me about this before the show
last night, and then he mentioned it at the show
that when he arrived he kisses the ground.
Speaker 10 (13:00):
Still does it.
Speaker 5 (13:01):
The tarmac of the runway.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I think ahead of a flight that he didn't think
he was going to survive, he felt lucky to be alive.
And so now he's a kind of little I guess,
a superstition and also being thankful for landing.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
He kisses the ground.
Speaker 5 (13:14):
His lips would taste like a rubber and aviation film.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
He's a kiss the earth kind of like I feel
like he gets off the time ac and then because
the because.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
They're the concert, you can power power it with bikes.
Speaker 2 (13:28):
And all sorts, and you can jump on these little
trampolines that will power it as well.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
So floor he's definitely haugged tree wrapped his hands around thee.
But I get that, you know, if you didn't know
the backstory of it, that it actually came from a
harrowing experience, just a guy going you know, because if
we're catching a JIT Star flight and you know, what's
he doing.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
At the audit today? When we get to christ you
why don't you feel you.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
We'll all kiss the ground, you know once been start
something like that. That's gonna because you don't you touch
the plane before touch the chase, cuddle the plane before
we go and kiss the ground with you.
Speaker 14 (14:00):
Right.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
That wasn't for me. That was for a friend of ours, Jeremy.
He's like, always touched. It's good luck. You've got to
touch the door on the.
Speaker 15 (14:04):
Way now getting to third base with the airport, No,
do you need us to leave it nice if we
can have some long time with the planes and stuff,
but that would be great.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
So we want to know Andrew the hats.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
We started this couple of days ago, like Chris Martin,
why you're lucky to be alive.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Yeah, you can give us text to four for age seven.
We'd love to love to get your calls and texts
on you. And there's been some incredible stories, so gentlemen,
we spoke to the other day rollers cast seven times.
Then he was like, oh, I can't be late for work,
pulled his skateboard out of his boot, skateboarded eighty k
eighty kilometers to the farm, did a twelve hour shift
on the farm.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
Then was like, oh, but sore amazing.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Realized you'd been concussed all day, multiple broken bones and legend.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
Yeah, just incredible. So those are the types of stories
we want.
Speaker 11 (14:52):
The heads that johnaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
About Why You're Lucky to be Alive.
Speaker 5 (14:56):
It's been a special three parts series this week Traumatic
three parts.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Aw some people, some wild stories. This incredible. They keep
coming through the text and the calls Michelle.
Speaker 12 (15:05):
How are you hi? I'm good.
Speaker 7 (15:07):
How are you good?
Speaker 5 (15:08):
We understand you're lucky to be here.
Speaker 14 (15:10):
I am Yeah. I when I was thirteen, I got
caught in a ripped out in Pha.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
Oh wow.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (15:18):
I've never been caught in a rip, but I imagine
panic stations, which is not what you.
Speaker 6 (15:21):
Mean to do, is it.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
No?
Speaker 14 (15:23):
Yeah, after getting bashed around for quite some time, it's
felt like I went into a air bubble. So it
was like that felt safe.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Oh my god, so you're thinking you're going to die.
Speaker 14 (15:37):
Yeah, after choking and coffee and going trying to be
you know how, you know, another wave came down and
you know, took me right under. So that happened quite
a few times. Yeah, it kind of just felt like I.
Speaker 16 (15:52):
Was face in this air bubble, underwater, and then finally
came back up again, and a surfer came and put
me on his board and took me back in.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
So oh my goodness.
Speaker 5 (16:06):
So there was an ear bubble under the water.
Speaker 14 (16:08):
Is that what you're saying, Well, yeah, it felt like
I'd gone into an like a big air bubble, like
a balloon. It was like it just felt like, okay, yeah,
I feel safe. Now.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
Do you think that might have been you nearly nearly.
Speaker 14 (16:20):
Going, nearly dying. Yeah, I really do, and I'm now
and I was thirteen when it happened.
Speaker 6 (16:27):
So that was in that surfer boy.
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Oh boy, honestly, I'm.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Scared of that.
Speaker 14 (16:34):
And to this day, I really really regret not saying
thank you to that guy.
Speaker 5 (16:41):
Oh listen, I don't think he would blame you. You
had a lot of stuff going on.
Speaker 14 (16:44):
Yeah, it took me probably, i'd say, twenty five years
to go back to Peter And even now I was
still only go knee length and my kids are out
their surfing and but yeah, no, I'm still too scared
to go.
Speaker 5 (17:00):
And from a mother's point of view too, And I'm
not a mother, but I imagine it's quite hard after you've
gone through an experience like that to let your children
then go out.
Speaker 14 (17:07):
Oh I'm always right there. I'm like, oh my gosh,
I get so nervous, and but I just slipped them.
Speaker 5 (17:15):
Yeah, you got to let them.
Speaker 14 (17:16):
Do it because I don't want to be that helicopter parents.
But you know, it doesn't take long to get swept out.
Speaker 5 (17:24):
And so what would your advice be after being caught
in a rip? If anyone finds themselves in that situation.
Speaker 14 (17:30):
Try not to penece. I guess there's not really much
you can do. You can, well, I think you're supposed
to swim diagonally towards the beach. But I didn't know
that at that time.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
No, and you're not thinking. You probably don't know what
direction you're in or yeah, thanks again, thank you for sharing.
Appreciate you.
Speaker 6 (17:45):
Go and they have a great day.
Speaker 14 (17:46):
That's all right, you two guys.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Mandy, you're lucky to be alive.
Speaker 17 (17:51):
Yeah. Eight years ago, when I had my baby, I
lost three quarters of the blood in my body. Cheez. Yeah, yeah,
it didn't look so good. I had to be an
ICU for a couple of nights, and luckily there were
some good doctors and nurses on hand to saved my
life and my baby and I were okay, was that
a cesarean or was that a No, it was a cesarean,
(18:14):
but they didn't realize that the placenta was attached to
the uterus until they.
Speaker 9 (18:18):
Opened me up.
Speaker 4 (18:19):
Do you actually remember it?
Speaker 18 (18:21):
Oh?
Speaker 17 (18:21):
Yeah, yeah it was. It was pretty hectic.
Speaker 6 (18:24):
What do you feel like?
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Was three quarters of your blood draining from your body?
Speaker 17 (18:28):
What are you?
Speaker 7 (18:29):
Are?
Speaker 12 (18:29):
You?
Speaker 17 (18:30):
Kind of you kind of feel really woozy and like
on your way above your body out of kind of
like out of.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Out of life, out of body experience.
Speaker 14 (18:39):
It did feel like that, yeah, wow.
Speaker 5 (18:42):
And so what do they do in that situation? Are
they trying to put pump blood into you as it's
draining out or they have to stop the bleeding?
Speaker 17 (18:48):
And then they Yeah, they had to obviously try and
stop the bleeding first, and then luckily there were blood
donors that had donated blood and pumped a whole lot
of blood into me.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Cheez.
Speaker 5 (18:58):
And that's why that's so important. At what point were
you're like, this is this is going bad? When did
you think of something? Because I imagine they would all
start to get quite panicky around the table.
Speaker 17 (19:07):
Yeah, when they when they started calling for extra doctors.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
You're like, why, why, why do we need more doctors?
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Because she had that curtain up and you just you
fairly are working on you, but you're not aware of
what they're doing.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
They would have been terrifying.
Speaker 17 (19:21):
And my poor husband was he didn't know what was
going on because when the anthetist went out to tell
him what had happened, he said he had such a
poker face on. He thought that it was the end
for me.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Keeps saying the steer around. So glad that you're you're
safe and well now and you made it through that ordeal.
Speaker 14 (19:40):
Yeah, all good.
Speaker 11 (19:41):
The hits that Jona and Ben podcast Me and You showed.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
Us a photo of Sabrina Carbda singing a song next
to Taylor Swift. Now, Sabrina Carveda, was she like three
foot five?
Speaker 3 (19:52):
She the start of that song is like I leave
quite an impression. Five feet to be exact, she's like
five ft.
Speaker 5 (19:56):
Oh, she's given us your measurements, you know, Like she's
very petite, isn't she? And Taylor Swift is an overly tool.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
She's pretty tall. Taylor Swift is pretty tall. She's one
point seven eight, so it looks taller than me.
Speaker 5 (20:10):
So she was doing a jewet with a toddler.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
And she was wearing massive heels too, was even smaller.
Speaker 5 (20:15):
Than you can write the hell of a song.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
That's a great song.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Now.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
I don't know about you guys, but there's one I
enjoy a conversation. I love a conversation, but there's one
place I'd rather not talk, and that's in the bathroom.
When you're in the bathroom, it feels like that if
there's a conversation going on between somebody who's outside the
bathroom and you, I'm like the house bitter be burning down.
That's the only time I want to have a conversation
when I'm in the bathroom.
Speaker 5 (20:37):
You're not solving the big wielded issues in the book
Israel and Palestine.
Speaker 6 (20:40):
You're not going to knock it off on the side
of bathroom.
Speaker 1 (20:42):
You know.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
But every parent listening right now will know that kids,
you know, for many years, kids will just you know,
for us, kids will and that burriers. They've got to
ask you something that's not important.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
It's just another room in the house to them.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
Yeah, but I thought maybe my time of bathroom conversations
had stopped, you know, like the conversations where You've just you.
And I like to think sometimes if I need to
go to the bathroom, I like to think, have I
had all the conversations with people in the room before,
I take five minutes for myself just to do what
I need to do.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
And I did this over the weekend.
Speaker 6 (21:10):
Did you do five minutes?
Speaker 5 (21:11):
Show you're a prolific guy.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
You didn't get stuff done quickly?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Oh yeah, and whatever you need to do with the bathroom.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
But you know, over the weekend, I'd been to the supermarket,
my my daughter had some friends around for a party
and stuff. So I've done all that, put the food away,
done all some things. I thought, well, you know, I'm
just going to go to the bathroom, get sorted, do
what I need to do.
Speaker 5 (21:27):
You know it's fresh en up, yeah, fresh enough, treat yourself.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
And then I get a conversation while I'm sitting there
for my wife and like this bit of knock and
this bit of be important. After I've been told to
get fruit in the list of things and getting things
off my list, I'm like, oh, this is important. The
house burning down is like She's like, don't tell me
you paid twelve dollars for half a watermelon. This is
the conversation gone, well, you know well and then I
(21:53):
can we do it later?
Speaker 1 (21:55):
Does this have to be a conversation right now? Like
right now?
Speaker 2 (21:58):
And then I was like, well, no, I won't tell you.
I pad like, what do you want me to do? Like,
clearly I did? This is aptly it's a conversation I
don't want to have and a redundant conversation. You clearly
have seen the price. Why are we doing this conversation? Like, well,
isn't it?
Speaker 5 (22:15):
Don't tell me? You're like, well, yes, I did a situation.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
I don't want to have a conversation, and so I'm like, well,
I won't tell you that. Then I'm like, why could
we not wait until I come out?
Speaker 6 (22:26):
And did you continue the conversation afterwards?
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I came out of the what's with that? Like we're
going to have that conversation now?
Speaker 3 (22:32):
It's typically guys, consider that your me time, mate, like
that's your special time.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
A special but it a.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
Lot of time and the pet, your phone in there,
and it's just weird.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Nice to have a little bit of time out from
every one, but anyone discussed the price.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I paid way too much for a half all.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
There's no good way to bring that up with you,
because if you came out and she was like, hey,
so in future, let's not pay twelve dollars for half
a watermelon?
Speaker 19 (22:59):
That sounds passive, so does please don't tell me it's
twenty four bucks for an entire.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
I was in the market for a full.
Speaker 4 (23:09):
Question stands, what were you thinking?
Speaker 1 (23:10):
I wasn't. I was in my just get stuff done phase.
I was like, what did you want? Watermelon? Donner and
the trolley? Yeah? And I shouldn't have pay that much.
It's way too much. I know that the supermarkets know that,
but I did it. I'm the sucker that did it.
Speaker 11 (23:23):
The hits that Joan Ben podcast.
Speaker 5 (23:25):
Do you I don't know if anyone else does this,
but do you experience in your day to day that
you've got stored in your area in your brain a
little one liners.
Speaker 6 (23:34):
You'll give for any any situation that may pop up.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
I don't have that, but I'm not surprised you.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Do you not hear that like a lot of like
a common question that yeah, so it is John O.
I'm like in the car with the window down, can
you do that?
Speaker 18 (23:46):
Last night?
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Do people always say to you, hey, Johonan Ben.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Yeah, oh yeah. Quite often it's just been no, but
no one knows the difference. Otherwise I will take a
stamp and go John and I don't mind if they
say my name.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Is actually call you both of them.
Speaker 6 (24:01):
I do the same. Yeah, like we's been just go
in the in the car of the bag of chips.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
Now. The problem is I've seen that line so many
times that the kids and my family are like, they've
got to the point where they go, he's in the
car of the bag of chips.
Speaker 11 (24:12):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (24:13):

Speaker 5 (24:15):
Well thank you, Yeah good. I mean you're hearing it

Chris Manin from Coldplay, He's not going around doing different
songs every stadium. He goes, You're in the same song every.

every night.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
Yeah, bring her a night host. But yesterday I tapped
into a beauty for the birthday yesterday and I wrote
tasted it on you guys early in the morning. You
said heavy birthday and I said, yep, getting old.

Speaker 5 (25:08):
Now the problem was outside probably's school. Someone said, hey,

there now. Then I went to dance Poppies dance later

(25:28):

be careful you've delivered them too.

That's you went last night and you got all three nights.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
I am.
Speaker 18 (26:29):
I'm not obsessed as some people might think.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
Would Chris Martin consider a restraining order?
Speaker 6 (26:36):

Speaker 18 (26:49):
Yeah, not obsessed? That was this time last year they
went to Perth and I booked that trip before they
announced that were coming to New Zealand.
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Why did they play a Rando Perth show?
Speaker 18 (27:00):
Because they got lots of money for They've got.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Friends money and they also got Perth money too.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Sweet Perth care the Corckers came through that, They're like, yeah,
there's some cash.
Speaker 5 (27:11):
So compeared to this, you know, multi million dollar Perth
show they got paid to do. To the eaton Park one.
Speaker 18 (27:18):
I mean, last night was incredible. Slightly different to the
Perth show because they released a new album this year,
so there are about three songs from that album they
played last night. But oh, etherial is the way that
I've described it was like a spiritual can you use
the word we all understand? Yeah, that's a big.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Word, the spiritual. I kind of got a little bit.
Speaker 11 (27:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:39):
There were times when I was like, this is in
my drink.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
The bracelets are genius, you know, having the light up
bracelets and just feels like everyone's and all you need
to do is hold your arm in the air and
it looks like everyone's.
Speaker 18 (27:51):
Forget the phone flashlight. You know, you've got the wristband.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Also, there's one moment where it was like put your
phones away and we're just going to experience this together,
and like everyone does except the.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Girl next to me. Ye, your wife. No, my wife
didn't do that. But next to her, I was like, oh, mates,
not doing but yeah, but.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
The girl she put your phones away because we're all
going to experie.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Literally, yeah, for the start, for the most part, one's
phones were down and we were all like in the moment, it.
Speaker 10 (28:20):
Was really swet.
Speaker 18 (28:21):
Not me because I knew the bits having seen the
show before. I know he's telling us to put it
away because they're about to do something amazing.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
Yeah, so she's got to spoil it for everyone.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
I did.
Speaker 18 (28:32):
In fact, there are two guys sitting next to me
who I didn't know, but I ruined the whole show
for them. One of them was on FaceTime the whole
night to his girlfriend who was at home, and I
was like, actually, I don't FaceTime her yet after this,
but they're going to do the fireworks.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
Are directing their face.
Speaker 5 (28:52):
Yeah, she won't don't be bothered with us part, she
won't want to watch it. That's a long FaceTime cooler
as well.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Yeah, everything like they hadn't but you know, sort of
mascot heats they put on.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
There was puppets, there was all sorts. They just threw
everything at it.
Speaker 4 (29:05):
You know, that's the moment where it's like, what's in
my drink?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
It was a puppets and puppets on the stage.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Glasses muppets, Yeah, you're right, thready glasses pretty amazing.
Speaker 18 (29:15):
Yeah, And I think the crowd like probably one of
the best concert crowds I've ever been to, just everyone
was just so into it. And yeah, you.
Speaker 3 (29:27):
Couldn't have had two more different shows back to back,
eating part and then you've gone with Coldplay, which is
all about love.
Speaker 2 (29:35):

more blazers than at Trevor Scott.

I always like to start the day with the New
Zealand hero Ald Daily Quiz. See if we can get
ten out of ten. As soon as we get one wrong,
we stop and produce Allie's in with her facials that
she kind of leads us into right answers from time
to time.

get me wrong. I love playing this game.
Speaker 6 (30:30):
Love the fact it sucks up.
Speaker 5 (30:31):
You know, six or seven minutes of radio first thing
in the morning.
Speaker 1 (30:34):

Speaker 6 (30:34):
Do people like listening to it? Can we get a
poll going?

It's four for eighty seven? Is it?
Speaker 6 (30:39):
Are you playing along in the car?
Speaker 5 (30:41):
What are you going to do?
Speaker 4 (30:42):
If they say no, it sucks?
Speaker 5 (30:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (30:44):
Otherwise is it just like listening to someone play a
pub quiz?
Speaker 2 (30:47):
I think, but you can't play along with that? And
we do ours for your help at some stage.
Speaker 5 (30:51):
But yeah, hey, listens to a little bit of market
research focus group.
Speaker 2 (30:54):

Oh you were good at it.
Speaker 6 (33:32):

Speaker 19 (33:37):
Which player has made the most appearances in Premier League history?
Is it James Milner, Ryan Giggs or Gareth Barry as well?
Speaker 5 (33:47):
Does that mean he's made Gareth Barry sounds like a
name I'd make up to do a prank on the radio, but.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Then it could be like an old school Yeah.
Speaker 6 (33:54):
Yeah to the audience, were playing something that ship.
Speaker 5 (34:01):
Some we're ruining it for others.
Speaker 11 (34:03):
Makes bag on the text the hits that jonaan Ben
podcast The.
Speaker 5 (34:08):
Day with the New Zealand Herald Daily Quiz, which eighty
five percent of the audience love listening to. We've done
the polls, we done the pulse.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
A few people not on as keen, but that's always
going to be the case.
Speaker 5 (34:18):
They are more accurate than the US poles. So I
tell you what the presidential polls. Now back to producer
ally the quiz master.
Speaker 19 (34:25):
Alrighty, what this question number five? What is the name
of Batman's primary vehicle? Is it the bat ride, the
batmobile or the bat wing?
Speaker 4 (34:34):
The bat wing the Batwing.
Speaker 5 (34:37):
I was giving that one, right, I was in two
hours sleep.
Speaker 2 (34:42):
I was, are we going maybe it's a new thing
or something?
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Batmobile?
Speaker 6 (34:52):
You can't do sarcastic comedy when you look so tired.
Speaker 5 (34:56):
Sorry, we're going to take you.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
As serious, so blunt.
Speaker 5 (34:58):
Yeah, the silence between us all.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
Friends of dumbas.
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Hey, that's a great art. One aside for a second,
and the adult adults talk.
Speaker 1 (35:11):
It out for just a bat.
Speaker 5 (35:15):
All right, five for five?
Speaker 19 (35:17):
Yes, nice work, Okay, Question number six, Mount Krinchi or currency.
I'm so bad at pronouncing it. Is the highest volcano
in which country? Philippines, Malaysia, or Indonesia. Now it's spout
k e r i in c I, so it could
be Krinchi, Karnsi, Karnki.
Speaker 6 (35:34):
I love a confident quiz master, That's what I love.
Speaker 2 (35:37):
That's not even the question how to pronounce the name,
but it's more about where it's located.
Speaker 19 (35:40):
So the Philippines, Philippines, Malaysia, or Indonesia feels.
Speaker 5 (35:47):
Like an Indonesian thing, isn't. It might be a little
bit of casual racism there, but it feels Indonesia to me.
Speaker 10 (35:56):
That is correct?
Speaker 5 (36:02):
Okay. Question the Dias would say.
Speaker 10 (36:07):
All right, question seven? How many inches are there in
one meter?
Speaker 19 (36:11):
Is it twenty six point five five inches, thirty nine
point three seven inches or fifty point twenty one inches?
Speaker 5 (36:17):
No inches?
Speaker 4 (36:18):
And what in a met meter?
Speaker 3 (36:19):
Yeah, and it's twenty it's the twenty one twenty six
point five.
Speaker 19 (36:23):
Did you say yes, twenty six point five to five
or thirty nine point three seven or fifty point two
to one and one meter?
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Quick?
Speaker 6 (36:31):
Jeez, I feel like that.
Speaker 5 (36:32):
You've got you got. I'm out of this game. I
was terrible anything.
Speaker 6 (36:35):
Mathematic, No, but I don't.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 4 (36:38):
You're not getting fifty of those in a meter.
Speaker 6 (36:41):
But that's a meter, right, that's about Now, this is
a great for radio.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
We're just.
Speaker 6 (36:45):
That's about a meter out.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
It's got about twenty and there.
Speaker 6 (36:51):
Yeah, I would agree.
Speaker 5 (36:53):
Okay, how was that for some science?
Speaker 1 (36:57):
I think this guy's twenty one?
Speaker 10 (36:58):
Then twenty six, we're going for twenty six five fives.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
Yeah, that's good to go with it.
Speaker 10 (37:03):
That's incorrect.
Speaker 1 (37:06):
Is it the highest one?
Speaker 10 (37:07):
No, so it's the thirty nine point five to five.
Speaker 19 (37:09):
So there's two and a half centimeters to an inch,
and therefore it wouldn't be fifty obviously. I worked this
out sort of roughly, but yeah, it's like two and
a half for us.
Speaker 2 (37:18):
Yeah, brain on you trying to wear that out?
Speaker 5 (37:24):
He seen on that. There we go with.
Speaker 11 (37:34):
It. May even be back to the hits that johnoan
Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
To cold Play the first of three concerts in New Zealand,
fifty seven thousand people there, Megan yourself and I went along.
Speaker 1 (37:44):
Incredible, a just amazing.
Speaker 3 (37:46):
Where do we even start? They have those wristbands that
everyone knows about that lights up.
Speaker 2 (37:51):
Like ankle bracelets. I saw someone write today on a review.
They do kind of look like but every every concert
should have them. They're just incredible how it just brings
everyone together and lights up different songs.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
Qustion though the lights draw hearts in the crowd. It's
like there must be like geo tagged or like, how
does it know where you are?
Speaker 1 (38:10):
Incredible stuff?
Speaker 6 (38:12):
Yeah, maybe it is just your hand the bands back, Yeah, what.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
You meant to?
Speaker 2 (38:15):
I mean, I guess if you really wanted to get
work outside the whole time you're there. They don't work
until it's super so and then it comes on and
then yellow. It all lights up yellow and then it flicks.
So they've they've timed it. Not every song has bands,
they've got confiti, they've got fireworks, they've got.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
Three der glasses.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
Just an amazing spectacle, Like just incredible, unbelievable stuff. So
if you're going along orf Hen get some tickets over
the next couple of days. I couldn't recommend it enough.
It's just an incredible experience. Chris Martin lovely.
Speaker 1 (38:44):
Just a lovely, just a wholesome guy. It just seems
like that.
Speaker 3 (38:48):
He did a part where he reads out people's signs
in the crowd and he brought them up on stage
to sing with him, and then there was another part
where he focuses on people in.
Speaker 4 (38:57):
The audience and makes it look so a little poem
about that.
Speaker 2 (39:01):
Yeah, here's one I think you've got and we got
that one loaded in a girl who'd like a super miroo. Yeah, yeah,
well cold Play films are always the best.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
I'm so happy to see you waving to me with
that super girls your chest And then he goes.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
To someone else in the crowd and do a little
song of them and another one and like that was
actually really really cool.
Speaker 5 (39:29):
As well charming British.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
You want some listed audio, I think I've got some
audio when they first came out at the start with
me just prattling away over the top of that kind
of kind of like it was radio for some reason.
Speaker 6 (39:40):
Are you common? Are you doing commentary?
Speaker 1 (39:44):
And then I'd stop, Yeah, but this is the start.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
Of upright recording a listen recording gold Play.
Speaker 1 (39:51):
That's amazing amount of light. I'm race. Let's what's going
off there? We go a Chris mart taking away. Let's
go play. You're at a park, you're.
Speaker 5 (40:01):
On that's a person next to you, like, yeah, I
can see everything you're.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Describing, but just was just an unbelievable experience here to
go along last night. Incredible, And there was one great
moment because he's going around the crowd and he's talking
to all the different areas as well, and then he
was like you over there in the AA insurance part
and I was like, oh, AA insurance will be loving that.
Speaker 1 (40:24):
The guy who signed off or the girls signed off on.
Speaker 6 (40:26):
That told you that Eden Park deal was going to
pay off.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
Chris Martin just side checked.
Speaker 6 (40:31):
I got my good name to that Den Park deal.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
He even said one stage, Chris Martin, it's good to
be like a British person here on Eden Park and
not be spanked by the all Blacks as well.
Speaker 1 (40:40):
It's just not what happens.
Speaker 5 (40:42):
So yeah, wonderful, So.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
Get along if you get a chance.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
I talked to someone yesterday who just got tickets on
the day yesterday.
Speaker 1 (40:48):
I managed to get tickets on the day. I don't
know if someone was couldn't go whatever.
Speaker 5 (40:51):
So there probably his opportunities to get along it waiting
outside Eden Park and maybe beating up someone for their tickets.
Speaker 6 (40:58):
Would you say the concert is that.
Speaker 4 (41:00):
I think Chris Marndin will probably frown upon that.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
Yeah, vibe is all about love.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
He goes around, he thanks everyone from security and people
clean the floors, the parents, picking people up like just heartfelt. Yes,
So I don't know if it's quite the vibe for
beating up. It's it's probably worth a court case. But
I wouldn't say beating up some.
Speaker 5 (41:17):
Maybe politely go hey, I will I will use violence
like you pitch it.
Speaker 6 (41:22):
Don't actually, you know, use the violence, but get the
ticket violence.
Speaker 1 (41:26):
Yeah, the heads.
Speaker 11 (41:28):
That jonaan Ben podcast.
Speaker 5 (41:29):
So we thought, hey, well we can't listen to the
actual recording of Mariah Carey singing great Song, The Great
Song that is all I Want for Christmas? Megan, you
had a wonderful alternative.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
God, I mean we could, we could almost treat people
to this when when they dip out.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
But so the loser version of the song.
Speaker 3 (41:47):
Since you've been doing such a fantastic job singing the
Inger Boys music.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
But my uncle John from Jamaica and he's calling every day.
Speaker 6 (41:57):
That's my favorite.
Speaker 1 (42:00):
Am I singing a punchline?
Speaker 5 (42:01):
My uncle John from Jamaica like the opposite of Jamaica.
Speaker 1 (42:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (42:06):
We had an artist in our midst.
Speaker 6 (42:08):
We don't not me, so we present to you the voice.
Speaker 2 (42:12):
Oh God, this one take one, take only, and my
timing was awful.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
Let's not play the hole this partic play a little bit. Oh,
I do something to start?
Speaker 4 (42:20):
That was just the instrument until this doesn't count.
Speaker 1 (42:24):
Ah, don't want a lot for Christmas? Orgies are gone
too fast? Is that there?
Speaker 11 (42:31):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (42:31):
There is just one thing I need.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
I don't care about the presence underneath the Christmas treep.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
There was a lot slow. I just want you for
my own.
Speaker 6 (42:45):
Can I say we don't need the feedback in between the.
Speaker 4 (42:50):
Turn this microphone off.
Speaker 1 (42:51):
I'm trying to enjoy it more than you could ever know.
Speaker 2 (42:56):
Make my worst CAPTU. I want for Christmas. That's why
I didn't sing It's time Megan.
Speaker 1 (43:10):
You It took a long time to get into this
and then it makes out of the base. No take back,
don't take two.
Speaker 2 (43:21):
I don't a lot for Christmas.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
There is just one thing I need, and I don't
care the backing. I'm good, Chris, I don't Okay, that's enough.
Speaker 2 (43:36):
So when you hear that, when you hear that, it
was not the whole thing. Dear God, we can't play
the whole leg again.
Speaker 5 (43:40):
Can you go to the inb I'll try to, but yeah,
the the I love the backing singers, like, we'll.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
Try to help you out and you can't help me out.
Speaker 2 (43:50):
This won't make me happy that try on Christmas Day? Okay,
So we played the game fourth grade. It's even on
the text. When you're out and whenever out, we'll play
the extra version and not that version of Mariah Carey.
Speaker 11 (44:03):
On the hits the Jona and Ben podcast.
Speaker 2 (44:05):
I'll play incredible scenes at Eden Park started the whole
thing with a Harka.
Speaker 1 (44:10):
So it was Meghan, you recorded it.
Speaker 3 (44:12):
Yeah, they took to the I don't even know who
to credit for the Kappa Harker group, but they took
to the stage and everyone was involved.
Speaker 6 (44:26):
I know who to recredit credit for that audio.
Speaker 5 (44:28):
That is Megan Peppers recording journalism and it's fine.
Speaker 1 (44:31):
So it was.
Speaker 2 (44:32):
It wasn't incredible from the bracelets they have, the light
up bracelets, the balloons, the fireworks and three D glasses.
Speaker 1 (44:38):
Everything was there even yeah it was.
Speaker 2 (44:41):
There was puppets and the logistics were just like what
goes on to put together a console like that and
to bring it to New Zealand to tell us more
about it. Is nixt All that he's the CEO of
Eden Park and he joins us this morning, Good morning, Neck,
thanks so much for talking.
Speaker 1 (44:53):
We're doing all right. What a spectacular show last night,
Eden Park.
Speaker 7 (44:57):
What an experience you said.
Speaker 2 (44:59):
I saw you as a as I walked inside, and
you said, this is the one of, if not the
best conserpt you'd seen. You'd seen it already and it
did not disappoint.
Speaker 7 (45:06):
There is just every element of the show, and you
see young children and you're seeing grandparents at the event.
It exceeds everyone's expectations. What's pretty amazing considering it's such
a phenomenal show.
Speaker 5 (45:17):
I can imagine I imagine a huge success for dam Park.
Speaker 13 (45:20):
Now.
Speaker 5 (45:20):
I just live a couple of streets away. Can you
do me a favor and just turn it down a
bit Friday and Saturday.
Speaker 7 (45:26):
I didn't realize this was a complaint.
Speaker 4 (45:29):
Yeah, what are you complaining about? Free concert?
Speaker 1 (45:32):
A little bit pitchure. It was amazing.
Speaker 2 (45:36):
How what does it take to put on a console
like that? Because you go along last night and they
had everything light up, bracelets, fireworks, confetti, like just a
huge stage screen.
Speaker 4 (45:46):
How are the things I.
Speaker 1 (45:47):
Mean what sort of like how what are we talking
to put something on?
Speaker 7 (45:50):
Well, we talk about having a game plan and seven
values and behaviors, customer service, attention to detail, it's sending expectations,
all of these things. Often people come to events and
they forget their mortgage. They come, they experience and they
go and they in the background there's three thousand staffs
that are delivering that event, and the relentless planning takes
(46:10):
many years. Often when you look at Coldplay, they've been
touring since twenty twenty two, it's they're the biggest rock
band in the world. It's the biggest tour in history.
Their team are just such a delight to deal with,
and you just leave with a sense of pride after
a big night, and all of us left pretty early.
(46:32):
You can imagine there's a fair bit of cleaning that
goes on.
Speaker 5 (46:35):
So when do they start bringing Like when does the
first track arrive with Chris Martin's clothes and pieces and
you start loading everything in.
Speaker 7 (46:43):
So we're about seven days out. You have things like
flooring that goes down, so turf protection, there's a whole
range of elements. Then you've got to consider that they
had shows in both Melbourne and Sydney, so it's the
logistics of coming across from Australia. Often we're either the
first or the last show. And we've got to remember
that Eden Park for one hundred and twenty years couldn't
(47:04):
have concerts. What was just insane.
Speaker 2 (47:06):
Oh, people will be very excited about going this weekend
after you know everything that everyone said about it playing
this week in Friday and Saturday night.
Speaker 1 (47:12):
What was the one moment for you? Did you have
a moment? For me?
Speaker 2 (47:15):
It was when Yellow came on and all the bracelets
let up yellow and I was just like, this is
incredible and just singing, everyone singing.
Speaker 1 (47:20):
But did you have a moment?
Speaker 7 (47:22):
Yeah, Well, Stifle the Stars was my wedding dance with
my wife and Coldplays a band that we've seen previously,
but it was always on our bucket list to get
to Eden Park. So we had a son only five
weeks ago and he was back a house. My father
in law had flown over at two am yesterday to
do some babysitting, so my wife would come along to
(47:42):
the show and just to stand there. We were just
so proud and there wasn't a person that didn't come
up to us when they were leaving and saying thank
you so much for the experience, And yeah, it makes
you feel so proud in the team at Eden Park
and what we've delivered. You've got to remember this was
shown number one seventy three. Been touring for close to
three years, so to be able to come to a
(48:04):
venue that has that manna, this is something that is
really special too.
Speaker 1 (48:07):
You said that, didn't you last night?
Speaker 2 (48:08):
He is like, we had to go through like one
hundred and seventy two your rehearsals just for this skegg,
but I think we're good to go, which and they
definitely were.
Speaker 7 (48:16):
Yeah, well that's he said. I can tell that this
is one of my favorite shows. And as I say,
to think that we weren't able to hold concerts and
now the lineup that we've had since from starting with
six sixty and we had a number of the band
members there last night and they were the first band
to perform at Eden Park. And then people talked about
the Pink Show and how phenomenal that was. But I
(48:37):
think last night that's been my favorite.
Speaker 2 (48:39):
It's like putting on a party, like you have people
over from a barbecue, but you're doing it for fifty
seven thousand people roll you know, it must be that
sense of like anything could go wrong.
Speaker 1 (48:47):
You hope it doesn't.
Speaker 7 (48:48):
Yeah, you do get nervous because you go there's fifty
thousand people's lives in your hands and you want to
make sure that they're safe and they have a great experience.
Speaker 1 (48:57):
But there was a.
Speaker 3 (48:58):
Lot of love in that place last night, and I
think the crowd was so well behaved.
Speaker 4 (49:03):
Yeah, everyone had such the best time.
Speaker 7 (49:05):
No, thank you so much. And yeah, there was such
a great spirit in that crowd. And the love is
something that we talked about our team, the love that
they have for the park. I'm sure now we have
another fifty plus thousand people have another connection with Eden
Park and Chris Martin and the team will be pumped
to be back on Friday night.
Speaker 2 (49:23):
Well, thank you so much for your time this morning,
very early after a concert, late night concert, so we
really appreciate it. Next on, thanks again for helping bring
Colba to New Zealand.
Speaker 7 (49:32):
Thanks so much, guys, I really appreciate it.
