Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Hats Drive with Meddi and PJ. Thanks to Chimis
were House the Real House of Fragrances May and on
that Hi everyone, and welcome to the podcast. Well well,
well if both of our partners didn't have a doozy
of a night out on the weekend, feeling sorry for

(00:20):
themselves today.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Feeling very sorry for themselves. You know who doesn't feel
sorry for them? You and I?

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Me and you. I'm like, suck it up, buttercups, self infliction.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
This is what you get. This is what you get
because you know what, I don't know. I don't know
what happened to you and BJ. But Saturday night. So
Saturday night, Ryan and I went round to a friend's
house for a few drinks. Yep, a few drinks, nothing crazy.

(00:51):
We had a few nice couple of drinks and then
I said I'll walk home because we had had We
had had enough drinks, couldn't drive the car, so WAIT said,
I'm going to book home. What are you doing? And
he said, actually, my friends out, so I might go
and meet him for a drink in town. I said, cool,
go for gold, have fun.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Live it up here, isn't he here's a little bit
and let's live it up here.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
But he'd also said to me that he wanted to
get up on the Sunday because he's doing got his
big swim this weekend. He's doing an ocean swim. So
he said to me, I want to get up on
Sunday and I want to go do a five k
swim in the pool. Did he no, because what time
did he get home? After four? After four he got home?

(01:40):
So he arrived home, and I'd woken up, and I'd
woken up just before he got home and thought, he's
not here, he's not here. And then he arrived home
not long after that, and I was still awake and
I heard him try because we got a little cold
like lock on our door.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Did they kept getting it wrong.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Kept getting it wrong. So he eventually got in the
door and then went in like brushed his teeth and
went to the toilet and then hopped into bed. And
he was a little chetty, Kathy.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
And you had an early start at the center.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
You were a little bit dusty the next day from
just trying to enter when he got home.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
At one point I did say, it's getting light, like
I can see that it's getting lighter.

Speaker 3 (02:22):
Don't you hate it when the birds tweet.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yes, I said you need to go. I said, go
to sleep, go to sleep.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Did he go to sleep?

Speaker 2 (02:29):
He blessed them. He did roll over and go to sleep.
What about your husband?

Speaker 4 (02:34):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Well, to be fair, I didn't have to witness the
punishing behavior. And I don't think it was a four
a m per se. But it was around you know,
a couple of couple of midnightish ones, but like earlier
starts than you guys. So it was well and truly
sort of on his way, and it was just sort
of two nights back to back, and then today he

(02:56):
was complaining about how he felt really sorry for himself.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
It's like, that's not my it's not my problem.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
I do show sympathy when I need to. I am,
you know, same sympathy, same.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
And I did give him a little bit of sympathy yesterday.
But today because the agent, I think, I think you
see this about BJ as well, Like today, Why I
actually film worse today than I did yesterday, isn't it?

Speaker 4 (03:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (03:21):
I said, well, I'm not I gave you sympathy. I'm
not giving you sympathy.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
And then he and then he stuffed up in detail,
which is now I got you in trouble. We're going
to talk about that. We can bring that up down
the track. We can talk he got a date of
a wedding wrong, and now you're going to have to
ask the boss.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
So he got the date of a wedding wrong, which
is fine for him. It really has like little to
no impact on him, except for the fact that he's
just got to like change it in his calendar.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
It actually really really like deeply impacts me.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah, to the point.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Where I'm not sure, like I don't know if I'm
if I can go to the wedding.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
So anyway, good good times tomorrow. They'll be back now,
probably Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
Yeah, I think wednesday they'll give it a copy.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
Coming up.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
In today's show, we talk about when you got sucked
into the sales patch or when you got upseld.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
We also talked about what you had to do with
an X after you broke up with them.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Yeah, the call that came through, I couldn't think of anything.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
And last week we had Nadia tell us on the
show that she was still traumatized by a comment made
by Dame Suzie Devoy.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
So we made them repair this.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
This this has been that has been ongoing for the
last forty years.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Susan didn't even know that there was beef, but blessed
she came on the show to rectify the situation.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Plus, our people's poll asked, do you get a message
at the more or is it strictly for weirdos?

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Enjoy the podcast Maddy and PJ.

Speaker 5 (05:07):
Mady and Pj the podcast.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Good Afternoon, Happy Monday afternoon til afternoons.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
It's okay, that's all right, it's the afternoon and you're
just driving that point home for people there.

Speaker 3 (05:22):
Driving at home.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
I just went because our normal cafe is closed on Monday,
so I went to the local cinema, which also plays
role to a cafe here, and.

Speaker 3 (05:32):
I was like, oh, do you guys scream Wicked?

Speaker 1 (05:35):
And they were like, yep, yep, we've been doing three
sessions a day. Because you don't even know if small
towns because I live in a small town, actually, you know,
have these big movies down that they don't And they
say a lot of people have been doing the Gladiator
Wicked combo where they'll go back to Beck.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Which is wild to me because I don't know about Gladiator, but.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
I know three hours isn't it.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
It's elf is two hours forty and I imagine a
lot of watching Gladiator. I know it's not an hour
twenty rong com is it? That's a that's an epoch.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
No. I would love to know if anyone has actually
done a follow marathon of the two two great films.

Speaker 3 (06:17):
But I feel like you're really going to be in it.
To win, you have to start early. You'd have to
do it like a Saturday at like midday or something.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Even then, even then, you'd need to have a quick
little break to go and get yourself a meal, to
get some dinner in between.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Wooden Springs, Martinium between I think you get sleepy. You
saw a Wicked for the second time to weekend? How
over No regrets as good, No regrets.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Yeah, in fact, I feel like I just learned more
about it than watching at the scene, you know, because
you catch little bits and pieces things you missed the
first time.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
So good, so it's not overrated. It's worth the hype.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
I'd go I'd go back a third time. No, I know, No,
I've done. I'm done. Enough is enough.

Speaker 1 (07:01):
Maddy and median PJ the podcast The Hits and Cheaper
She was a big day, big day on the tools.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
Yesterday afternoon, huge peage.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Maddy and I were lucky enough to be invited up
onto the Hits float where we paraded to Queen Streets
and the Farmer's Center parade. I gotta say I certainly
underestimated how large the paraders and how many people were there.

Speaker 2 (07:34):
There was one pointer whom we turned this corner and
the sea of people stretched.

Speaker 3 (07:42):
So we just come back from America's Cup, didn't that? Truly?

Speaker 2 (07:46):
I now know how the All Blacks feel when they
win a World Cup. It's amazing.

Speaker 3 (07:51):
Okay, A couple of thanks.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
First of all, I know I producer Sarah, your partner
was in the crowd and they wanted to make some
feedback to one of us guarding attitude up on the float.

Speaker 3 (08:03):
Yeah, can elaborate. I told you guys the.

Speaker 6 (08:06):
Word attitude before the show, and I feel like you've
really held on to that word.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
I didn't mean, not really attitude.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
Gusta behavior, behavior.

Speaker 3 (08:14):
Behavior, What do you mean?

Speaker 6 (08:16):
So my partner was filming me on the float obviously,
then panned to you guys like, oh, Siah's host, it's
made PJ so cool.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
Let's give a good good shot.

Speaker 6 (08:23):
Of him, and there is this video I've got on
my phone of one Matty McClain doing this wave that
is like everyone else is waving vigorously with the hand
PJ one side.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
The other side, Maddie's doing that. Hi yef, it's me that.

Speaker 6 (08:43):
Whole little like almost.

Speaker 3 (08:48):
Wave. I'm bitter than all of you present. Yeah, I
give you one.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Well, dare I say it? What did you expect when
you put me on a float down Queen Street with
thousands of people.

Speaker 3 (09:06):
With a man Oh my god, I'm watching on the
weather anymore? I can.

Speaker 1 (09:13):
I just say that you never overthink a wave as
much as when you are on a float waving to
people like I became a robot and I started overthinking it,
and then it just felt like the most unnatural movement
I've ever done.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
You know, when you start repeating a word like if
you go fork fork fork fork, and all of a sudden,
fork loses all meaning.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
It was like that.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
I was like, I don't my hand feels disassociated from
the rest of my body.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
Do you know what's really sad?

Speaker 1 (09:42):
And maybe this is this is an indicator of the
lack of exercise I've done lately, But I work up
with the.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
Like I've been pumping like one hundred kilos at they.

Speaker 2 (09:54):
It was about, well, you've got your arm up in
the air waving it. It's like a surviv a challenge
or something like who can hold the arm in the
air for the longest.

Speaker 1 (10:04):
The other thing that happened pre the parade was rather
entertaining because Maddy and I were like, okay, lot, we've
got like an half an hour window. Shall we get
a little little pick me up before we get on
the float?

Speaker 2 (10:18):
And fel and I said to you, I know exactly
where we're going. There's a great little dumpling place. You
and I are going to go and get these really
nice dumplings.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
So what was what was playing is we inted the dumpling.

Speaker 2 (10:31):
Stores, so we walked, we walked straight into the Dumpling
Sports Store and immediately, like the first song we heard
was all I Want for Christmas. Nah.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
You obviously famously or infamously got out of the Mariah
Carey Christmas game on Friday when Tasha decided to get
you with a call.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
And I threw and I threw my toys and I
was outraged, and I couldn't believe it.

Speaker 1 (11:00):
Hilarious thing is you would have got out of the
weekend at the doubling store.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Doubling Store, which feels very odd brand for you, and
I think if we were ever going to get out
of the game, that's where we would get out of
the game.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
Those beef and cheese doublings were certainly.

Speaker 5 (11:14):
With many podcast.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
So before we were talking about the Farmer's Santa Parade
which was in Auckland, and it ended up being quite
a large day because I flew in and out did
the old fifo.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Yeah, yeah, fi FO. That's what the miners called themselves,
isn't that It is when you literally just fly and
do the work.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
I was fi filming for a Sunday and got back
quite late, so I sort of often tend to fly
out of Parmisan North and fly back.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
In and classic me.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
The picture was pretty low by the time that I
got back here, so I had to do a little
fill love.

Speaker 2 (12:01):
Are you from my way home? Are you always someone
that leaves it right down to the last minute? Yes, yeah,
me too.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
Not going for the car, no no, But anyway we're
still here, the car still.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
And what I'd also done is I had left my
charger at home and after a big day of using
phone and whatnot, I was like, oh no, I actually
need my phone to get home to get the maps
because I still don't know how to get home. I
really should and to have something to listen to it.
So I was like, okay, I need to get another
station charger. You know, I'm a sucker for a station charger,

(12:37):
and I always ended up getting a really short one that's.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
Like fifteen centimeters ten centimeters long.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
I swear we've we've only been doing the show for
like ten months, and I swear you've brought about thirty
charges since we started the show.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
I'd say maybe three, that's maturation.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
Well you round up, you round up.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
So I ran into the picture station and I sort
of got into a bit of a panic because i'd
I'd done a quick glance around the servier station and
I couldn't see them.

Speaker 3 (13:05):
So I ran up to the counter and I said, look,
do you guys sell any charges? Please tell me you
sell charges?

Speaker 1 (13:12):
And he did the point and there was like a
whole stall that I just told But then he goes,
but can I tempt you into the Christmas light charger?

Speaker 2 (13:23):
Oh my god?

Speaker 1 (13:25):
I was like, oh, no, surely I don't need any
goes it lights up red and green, and I was like, oh,
what's the price difference.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
He's like, honestly, I think it's about the same and it.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
Might have been maybe like five dollars more, and he goes,
come on, get Festive Classic.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
It's more or less the same price.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
It's like, so I fall victim to the sales pitch.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
I get in the car and I tell you what,
this was the biggest recipe for a seizure or a
crawt a scene, such a distraction, like you literally plug
it and it's like the most obnoxious fleshing green and
red lights and my car and like if I was
I was tired. This was just sending me into like.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
This other universe dimensioned. I was like, where am I?
I'm going to get home, but I needed to charge
my phone, like I was just a party in the
front of my car.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Good in a way, though, because after a long day's work,
did it kind of keep you awake because you couldn't
like you couldn't possibly fall asleep behind the world with
something like that going off.

Speaker 1 (14:35):
Clashed with the lights and my car that were already blue,
so they were just so colors going towards me, and
I was like, I would not need to buy the
Christmas Lights phone charger, but of course.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
You bought the Christmas Lights phone charger. You were a
sucker for this kind of stuff.

Speaker 3 (14:52):
I'm a sucker for an upsell. Remember when I was
at the phone's market and I got sold these like
bougie curry paste and it was like and I was like,
and I only ever used it once, and they were
like forty dollars. Do you remember forty dollars for a jar?
And I got like two or three of them. I'm
a sucker. Oh wait, how did it hurt?

Speaker 1 (15:10):
So I thought we could open up the phones because
I know we've all fallen victim here in the air
to either an upsell or a really good sales pitch.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
And in hindsight, you didn't need the product.

Speaker 5 (15:23):
MAYPJ Mady and PJ the podcast The Heads.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
When you got sucked into the sales patch, they had
a really good one, and you're like, you know what,
maybe maybe this product is going to change my life.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
In hindsight, you spent way too much on something you
really really didn't need.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
So you bought a charger from the petrol station for
your car to charge your phone. It was Christmas theme,
so it lit up red and green. Do you do
you still have the charger? Will you still use it?

Speaker 3 (15:53):
I absolutely?

Speaker 5 (15:54):
Look.

Speaker 3 (15:54):
What I will say about it is it makes the
journey a little more exciting.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
And festive doing.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Spirit and reminds me that Christmas is just around the corner.
But there is a headache in the making. But undred hairs,
when did you get sucked into the sales perch? Bridget
is joining us? Hello Bridget, Okay, what happened to you?

Speaker 6 (16:20):
So?

Speaker 7 (16:20):
I was going through the malls one day and they're
doing this demonstration on here. I am cooler and I
really really ever curl or straight in my hair. I'm
outdoor to girl, so we just don't really.

Speaker 5 (16:33):
Do that.

Speaker 7 (16:35):
Anyway. He's a free diomer station. And then he killed
all my hair. We've seen like a whole hour and
was really lovely and it was like quite a few
hundred dollars, And they were telling me about all this
how it was so much better than a GHD because
it's like doesn't burn your hair because all the special
stuff I did, and so yeah, it's pretty much to
start with it. It's been all that time with me,

(16:57):
so I thought once.

Speaker 1 (16:59):
Yeah, when they spent like an hour, you feel guilty
if you don't give them something, right, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
But I was going to say Bridget, like, can you
can you put a number on it? How many times
are we talking?

Speaker 7 (17:15):
Maybe five times?

Speaker 5 (17:18):
Great?

Speaker 2 (17:18):
So worth it.

Speaker 7 (17:21):
That, Yeah, would have been just to go.

Speaker 3 (17:26):
Do you remember from the mall?

Speaker 1 (17:30):
Oh my god, this is just a throwback the dead
see people with I'd have those hands and they're like
it's from the dead Sea and it would be like
I don't know if it was pummas or foliation, and
then this cream and like your hands would just be
so soft.

Speaker 3 (17:44):
And then they'd have the buffer, the nail buffer thing.

Speaker 2 (17:47):
And it was just a whole experiences. You brought an
entire No I did it.

Speaker 1 (17:51):
It's just weird to the body shop close bines kids,
Hey David, how are you?

Speaker 3 (18:00):
What did you when need to get sucked into the
sales patch?

Speaker 8 (18:03):
Years ago we went to wricked and mall. We packed
up on the rooftop car park as was memal pans
selling stuff. You come up come up to us on
me into buying car wacks and I don't even have
a car.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
They want a car.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
Aspirational, David aspirational.

Speaker 8 (18:23):
How much was the was this once break came for
forty doors?

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Oh so was his sales pitch just that good or.

Speaker 8 (18:32):
Oh no good? With those sort of people, Oh, you
just wanted.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
To get rid of him. You're like, if I buy it,
he'll go away and they don't have to deal with
him anymore.

Speaker 3 (18:41):
Recked and Mark, I mean Record and Mall. That's where
I was working at the body shop.

Speaker 2 (18:45):
You know, brilliant. You know they say, like they can
sell ice to an Skimo, you can you can sell
car wax to a guy with no car.

Speaker 5 (18:56):
May J Medy and PJ podcast.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
So yesterday we were talking about I was in the
Big Smoke the Farmer Santa Parade was on, and afterwards
decided to do a quick little peruse of the shops
and see if I could do any early Christmas shopping,
very early for me in November.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
Did I buy anything for anyone else?

Speaker 1 (19:20):
Now?

Speaker 3 (19:20):
I ended up buying a shirt on sale.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
For myself, as it should be.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
As it should be, Maddie.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
When I go to the city these days, it's like
I forget forgotten how to human and I've forgotten what's
like socially acceptable.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
So I hadn't been on an escalator in a while.
I was like, oh, that's right, these things exactly.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Oh yeah, the stairs, the move, You're amazing this modern
technology that they're dushing out in twenty twenty four.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
Seriously, anyway, so here's my question.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Because I jumped on and then I went on one
step directly behind someone and there was heaps of space.
It wasn't like was heavily congested, and all of a sudden,
I felt like I was really in that person's personal
space because I was directly behind them. But I didn't
want to go on the other side in case people

(20:10):
came down, although actually.

Speaker 3 (20:12):
They wouldn't have come down, would they.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
No, But here's my but here's my bag beer, Yeah,
here is my bug beer. I will die on this hill.
New Zealanders need to get much better on escalators on
only standing on one side so that we've got a
clear path to walk through. She did the right.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
I've been on the left side, but I was directly
behind this person. I was like, I probably should have
given a couple of more steps space between us, because
I felt like I was literally right up her backside.

Speaker 3 (20:43):
And like there was it was you know, I didn't
need to be. I probably could have left a few spaces, but.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
It's them all at Christmas time, so I feel like, yeah, right, okay,
you're used to it. I think it's fine.

Speaker 3 (20:53):
So I'm over thanking. And then you go wherever you
want on the left, but make sure that you're always
on the left side.

Speaker 5 (20:58):
On the other side, Medi and PJ the podcast that's
Mady TV Takedown.

Speaker 3 (21:09):

Speaker 9 (23:40):
I didn't really watch many.

Speaker 2 (23:41):
Of the nineties.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
It was just kind of in the background and you
kind of absorbed a very unconsciously.

Speaker 7 (23:48):
Ah yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 3 (24:15):
Hey, damn it.

Speaker 1 (24:17):
Okay, we're going harder next week. If anyone's got any
good TV categories, we need to stump up. And if
you think you can beat Maddie, please text through four
four eight seven when we return next week with Maddie's
TV Takedown Maddie and PJ the Podcast.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
Ryan, my husband and I caught up with a couple
of friends on Saturday for a quick bite tweets. And
when we arrived at the place where we're getting food from,
one of them was inside, like at the table, and
then one of them was out on the streets on
the phone, and when we sat down, the partner that
was inside said, oh, he'll be back in the second.

(24:56):
He's just talking to his friend who's overseas at the moment.
And then when the person from that was on the
phone came and sat down, he said, I'm so sorry,
I just had to take this call with my friend.
They're overseas. They're actually on holiday with the ex girlfriend.
And I said, what the ex girl? The ex girlfriend,

(25:18):
and he said, yeah, they booked this trip together when
they were a couple and then broke up. But the flights,
in the accommodation and everything was already paid for, so
they decided to go on holiday together.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
Do you know, I feel like this isn't uncommon.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
I feel like I've heard of heaps of people that
have had to do this, and particularly in the cost
of living crisis, you don't want to turn away a holiday,
much holiday, you know, things are so expense totally, so
if you've got to look forward to, well, if you
have to hang out with your ex, you know, there
could be worse things to do.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Tell you what I think it was to Japan. I
think I'm in Japan. Maybe tell you what if run
and I put the trip to Japan and God forbid
we ever broke up, you beast, believe him bloody going
on that holiday to Japan. He can come or or not.
I'm going.

Speaker 1 (26:11):
I wonder if it'd be good therapy, Like you're kind
of forced to deal with your issues and you're not
under stress, you know, no.

Speaker 3 (26:20):
Actually under stressed.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
Going in and overseas holiday is when most couples end
up like fighting and bickering at the beas.

Speaker 1 (26:26):
Yeah yeah, yea, yeah, yeah, okay, maybe on the flight,
but once you get there and you're in the nice
resort and you've got the cocktails and you're outside in
the sun, maybe this is when you can finally have
those conversations.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
Because our life gets busy and there's so much tension.

Speaker 1 (26:40):
You know.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
I would actually love to know how many people have
gone on a holiday with the getting gone back together, because.

Speaker 2 (26:48):
For them, yeah, yeah, you're in You're in Fiji, having
a little mahido, and all of a sudden, you go, actually,
I like you, this is great. We should do this again.

Speaker 3 (27:01):
Should we do this thing? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (27:03):
My sister had to make that call very recently because
her new partner broke up earlier this year, but they
bought Coldplay tickets together.

Speaker 3 (27:11):
So who got the custoday? That's the tickets.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
That's the thing. Because they had to have that conversation
do we go together or not? She ended up buying
his ticket and taking a friend instead.

Speaker 3 (27:20):
But it's a pretty romantic concert, and so they.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
Did have that conversation of do we go with exes
to this concert?

Speaker 1 (27:29):
I mean, I'm thinking of situations were you still have
to spend time with your ex. Maybe you had to
work with them after you broke up, maybe you had
to live with them. I would say the living situation
would be common with flatmates. What else can you add
to the list? Oh wait, one hundred the hats. Let's
ask this question this afternoon. What did you have to
do with your ex.

Speaker 3 (27:50):
After you broke up with them?

Speaker 1 (27:52):
Maybe you were one of the ones who went on
a holiday and you did end up getting mad together
or you didn't.

Speaker 5 (28:00):
Mary J. May MPG the podcast.

Speaker 3 (28:05):
Did you have to do with your ex after you
broke up with them?

Speaker 2 (28:09):
I had an ex boyfriend who we broke up. It
was very likeable, and years later I was seeing an
event and he was one of the like event organizers
of the thing that I had to see.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
How did that go?

Speaker 2 (28:27):
Fine? It was just a surprise to see him there.
That's all.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
Your voice, all of a sudden, It's so good to
see you.

Speaker 5 (28:35):
No, but it was.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
It was really nice to see him. But it was
just an interesting experience to run into him in that environment, you.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
Know, very diplomatic telling this.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
All right, it's kind of the fines the hartz Kirste
is joining us.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
What did you have to do with your ex after
you'd broken up?

Speaker 10 (28:55):
Well? I well, and two thousand nine time we were
together and we got a cruise ten day crows with
the kids, and then COVID hit in twenty twenty, so
our cruise was canceled every year. And in May last year,
after we had separated, we didn't want to back down,

(29:15):
neither of us, so we ended up driving up to
Auckland and separate cars and flying to Sydney and then
jumped on a ten day cruise together with the kids.

Speaker 3 (29:27):
Sorry but like you're really in each other's pocket to go,
there's nowhere to go.

Speaker 10 (29:33):
No, So we actually got on pretty well.

Speaker 7 (29:36):
We did have some bust up alcohol.

Speaker 10 (29:43):
Inclusives and then blocked up Facebook and phone numbers and
there's zero communication. So no, we didn't get back together.
We had a wonderful time.

Speaker 2 (29:56):
That's the most important thing, then, Kirsty.

Speaker 10 (29:58):
So we managed to pull it together, the three little ones, and.

Speaker 1 (30:01):
Then you to make that is were you guys didn't
come down with Gaestro because I alway feel like cruise
ships coming down with Gastrow.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
They didn't like that. Wasn't the as thing on the cake,
was it?

Speaker 5 (30:14):
No?

Speaker 2 (30:15):
Okay, good, okay, good, all right, thank you so much.

Speaker 3 (30:23):
We've got to keep a sweet house price coming away.
Have a great reserve your Monday.

Speaker 10 (30:27):
Awesome. Thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
Hey, listen to this text peege that's coming to four
four oh seven. I had to work with my ex
after we broke up. Probably not super uncommon, but he
is the clincher. He ended up being demoted from his
role and I applied for it and got promoted. He
had to do some training with me for the role.

(30:50):
Many and Many and PJ the podcast the heads Now page.
On our show last week, we had a fun little
segment where we got people to call us up and
tell them tell us the little grudges that they have
not been able to let go of. Even though they
know they should. And we had Nadia call into our show. Now,
Nardia has a grudge going back a very long time

(31:13):
to her childhood and it has to do with the
New Zealand celebrity.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
Now Nadia joins us this afternoon to relive this moment. Nadia,
can you just recall exactly what happened when you were
seven years old?

Speaker 2 (31:28):
Hi?

Speaker 4 (31:30):
Yep okay, So I was seven eight years old. I
was at fair Hall School in Blenham. We were doing
some sort of fundraiser. We had little buckets and we
were going around the Woodburn Airbase in collecting money with
certainty boy I. We were all walking with her through

(31:50):
base Woodburn, and I tripped in the fell and all
the money that was in my little bucket filled everywhere,
and a stupid little.

Speaker 3 (32:05):
Weird that you don't forget when you see then.

Speaker 4 (32:08):
No, and I've got my bucket.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
Oh well, Nadia, we are a radio show that does
not want people holding on to grudges. We want to
settle beef nicely and friendly. And here's the thing. I
have a direct line to Dame Susan Devoi and she
is on the phone with us right now. Hi, Suis
remember Susan, do you remember this at all?

Speaker 9 (32:35):
Nadia? I just want to say I was a very
immature twenty years old when that happened, and I am
so deeply sorry that I said that and that I
had a profound effect on your life. And I will
do whatever it takes, Nadia, because you don't sound like

(32:56):
it's affected you. You sound like an absolutely totally cool check.
So please please accept my apology.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
I do.

Speaker 9 (33:05):
I just worry that you might just be eight or something,
and I'd said that recently.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
So no, no, we're going back a very long time, Susan.

Speaker 9 (33:14):
Thank you for collecting all that money. I do remember
being at would burn and bear in mind I'd probably
just walked fifty kilometers that day, probably wear it. But
from the bottom of my heart, please please forgive me nobly.

Speaker 2 (33:29):
So we can put the We can put that, We
can put the grudge to Beard. Nadia.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
Yeah, yeah, we can, and I can. I can watch
Celebrity Treasure Islands.

Speaker 9 (33:41):
Nadia. I reckon, you must be how old would you
be now?

Speaker 4 (33:46):
I'm forty four?

Speaker 3 (33:48):
Well, I'm.

Speaker 9 (33:51):
Sixty and I probably said even more nastier things in
my life. And I apologize to everyone else out there
that I've said nasty things too, Susan.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
We could be here for if we did. Individual apologies,
but we really appreciate you being such a good sport
and coming on the show.

Speaker 9 (34:06):
Yeah, well not nobody's perfect.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Exactly exactly, Susan.

Speaker 9 (34:11):
Nadia sounds like she might be pretty close to you.

Speaker 2 (34:13):
That's great.

Speaker 9 (34:18):
I like it.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
I like it, Susan, And thank you so much, both
of you. Nadia, thank you for being part of this.
And we can put it to bed now.

Speaker 4 (34:26):
Thank you. I can sleep now.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
Think therapy is closed.

Speaker 5 (34:32):
And the podcast.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
And last night, as I was heading to the airport
after a big day at the Farmer Santa Barade in Auckland,
I jumped in Maneuva and like many things in the city,
some things are very exciting and foreign to me after
living in the country.

Speaker 3 (34:53):
You know, a lot of that stuff we don't get.
We still haven't got over a master.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
You'd forgotten about escalators until you went to the mall.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Honestly, I forget how to human and just socialize. Okay,
I need my city integration. And so I was actually
pretty died by the end of the day because it
had been an early start.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
Got into the over and you know how I feel
like sweet airs. I can just close my eyes for
a good half an hour on the way to the airport.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
And I'm one of these people when if you sometimes
when you get an uber, you can select like the
level of comfort you want.

Speaker 1 (35:23):
I always it's like a menu of like how much
talking would you like? How much aircorn would you like?

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Bless them, I'm always no talking. I don't want to talk.
I don't I don't want to talk. I just want
to sit there in silence and do my own thing.

Speaker 1 (35:35):
I can only blame myself for what happened on my trip,
because usually I just actually just go, oh, you know,
i'd sort of keep to myself at least that you know,
I'm not being rude.

Speaker 4 (35:45):
But you know, no, no, no, no no.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
If I wanted to have a quiet ride, but I
foolishly started talking about the car because like many things
in the city, I was like.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
Is this a teasler?

Speaker 1 (35:56):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (35:56):
Oh my god, he tissed as much in the country either.
I was like, is this a tethler? And he goes,
not quite mate. I can't remember what he called me,
not quite dear, but it is very close.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
And then you could tell that this sort of ego
started building and he was getting really excited and he
wanted to show me all of the features in the car,
and before I knew it, the sun roof like the
cover came back.

Speaker 3 (36:26):
He was giving me a full on experience. He's like,
you should see the boot room.

Speaker 2 (36:30):
That this thing was my god.

Speaker 3 (36:33):
And then he proceeds to turn on the sound system
and he goes check this out and he just like
literally met he. He turned up the music so loud.
I had a bit of a headache.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
It just started like pounding and he was like sick
beat says, and I'm in the bag and the whole
ride is like a rain and I'm like, I don't.

Speaker 5 (36:59):
Know how to tell.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
I was like, I'm going to win to day if
I come to turn it down.

Speaker 3 (37:04):
Just running wine up my day. But I must say
as time progressed, I got more and more into it,
and then I got more and more into the cars.

Speaker 2 (37:15):
I need one of those he was doing. He was
doing the sales pitch.

Speaker 3 (37:19):
And he sold me. I was like, I need this
kind of hybrid car, the sound system. What have I
got on my shiny little v dub. I need an
upgrade and I need it now.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
So did you go home to your husband and the
inside of beach. Hey, look, I know we live on
a gravel road in the middle of nowhere, but you
know what will be great in electric car?

Speaker 5 (37:37):
There is no Many and PJ to podcast that the
pe Pol's poll, the peg Pole's poll.

Speaker 2 (37:47):
Everybody comes together, it's the pet pools.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
Polled like every day on the show. Right now you
can go and weigh in on our people's phone on
our Instagram page. The heads drive with Many and PJ.
I do feel like I've been lightly targeted in today's poll.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
Yes, it's all to do with your experiences in the
Big Smoke, because you came up for the weekend to
Auckland and there are a few things that you went
and did. And one of those things was you went
to the mall I did you went to do some
Christmas shopping. No Christmas shopping got done. But what you

(38:24):
did do instead was you win and got yourself a
little treated.

Speaker 3 (38:27):
Didn't you.

Speaker 1 (38:29):
Yeah, I hadn't had a great slate the night before.
And again in the country, you don't have many messages
all around. I mean, look, there are one or two,
there's a few, But I do like to make the
most of the things that I don't get to do
all the time having the big smoke. So I thought
I'd kill two beers with blue stone and get a cheeky,
little cheky a little headneaked.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
Shoulders cute, which is cute.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
But then I just I said to you today, it's
an interesting location to get a message. And I only
say that not in a judgy way, more just in
our when I get a mess, when I think of massage,
I think of very zelexing, very quiet, very peaceful, very relaxing,
which is pretty much the antithesis of what a mall was,

(39:12):
especially at this time of year. It's utter chaos. It's
people everywhere so much.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
But in a lot of these shops now they are
creating quite a zen environment.

Speaker 3 (39:23):
When you're in the shop.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
But I will emitt I was quickly taken out of
my zen trance immediately as I walked through the main
part of the mall, and there was bright lights, and
there was music, and there was people, and there were
all these different smells.

Speaker 3 (39:38):
It is a lot on the senses, I'll give you that.

Speaker 2 (39:41):
So I was just curious to know in today's people's poll,
would you ever or have you ever gone to the
mall to get a message? Is that the location you
would choose for a message or.

Speaker 3 (39:52):
Is that your idea of help?

Speaker 1 (39:55):
Because look, at least be honest, like, obviously my ideal
is going to you know, somewhere quite nice and isolated
from a mall, mota inside.

Speaker 3 (40:06):
But sometimes you got to do it.

Speaker 1 (40:07):
So sometimes I'm like, oh my god, I just need
a little fifteen thirty minute express message.

Speaker 3 (40:13):
You know what, Hey, I'm living my bis life. But
what are your thoughts on getting messages in the mall?
Yes or no? Text? Your results through the four four
eight seven, the podcast.

Speaker 2 (40:27):
That's the People's poll, the People's Poll, everybody comes together,
it's the People's Pole.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
Yeah, I think you may have a strong opinion on
this one or you don't. We want to know what
are your thoughts on getting a message at the mall.
I did this yesterday. I was craving a little touch
on then shoulders and not that kind.

Speaker 2 (40:50):
Of time, no shoulder and to be feared to your point,
you didn't have long and you needed you wanted to
go to the mall to do some Christmas shopping, so
you thought let's just get both done in one go
at the same place.

Speaker 3 (41:03):
That's right, but I did feel a judgy look from
your way.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
It was just just the vibe of you know, it's
not the most zen, relaxing place as a whole. To God.

Speaker 1 (41:17):
You know, if I get at the Sanctuary, I'd take
the scene, you know, I'd have the pond, I'd have
the water, the music, you'd.

Speaker 2 (41:25):
Take the ten day retreat in BALI wouldn't you.

Speaker 1 (41:27):
Any day, but time was short and I had to
act swiftly. The text machine's interesting. There's a variety. Someone said, Yes,
there's definitely a time and place for that type of massage. Yes, definitely,
easy access and no appointment necessary. Sometimes you just got
to get it done.

Speaker 2 (41:45):
And then there's the flip side like this one. Honestly,
how on earth? Someone said on the text machine, last
place I would ever have a message, This was it?

Speaker 3 (41:56):
I'm with Medi. Did you say this candle's music and
a hot guy?

Speaker 2 (42:00):
Well no, but maybe that was just the vibe I
was giving off. They know, they know. So if I
go to our Instagram poll and you can always vote
every day on our Instagram pole at the Hits Drive
with Meddi and PJ. The results today are fifty percent

(42:21):
of people said no way, not the place I would
go to give it. I's it, wow, thirty six said yeah,
why not, and fourteen percent I haven't had it done
but I would. So that's kind of really if you
add both of them up, fifty percent of saying no way,

(42:41):
and then fifty percent really are saying, yeah, either I've done.

Speaker 3 (42:44):
It or I would do it.

Speaker 1 (42:46):
Pretty split down, write down it at all. But I
don't think we're going to be seeing Maddy McLain at
the all.

Speaker 6 (42:55):
No.

Speaker 2 (42:55):
I want the Kendles, the music and the hot guy
and the whole guy.
