The Hits Drive with Meddi and PJ thanks to chimis
Wee House The Real House of Fragrances. Hello everyone, welcome
to the podcast UK Meddie, what's happened?

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Sorry?

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Can you talk about it on the podcast?

Speaker 2 (00:19):
I don't know if I can. It's quite like it's risque,
even for our pod, even for.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
Our can you alerte? Can can you give us something?
Because that face is very telling?

Speaker 2 (00:32):
So on the other podcast that they do, Yes, we
obviously had a little bit of a chat also about
the hens Do that I hosted over the weekend. Right
we recorded it last night. Someone has messaged our group
to say that her WORKMATEE was at a Hen's party
and they had a nude model for a life drawing

(00:55):
who after the life drawing class was done, like drew
him and everything, he decided to enjoy his own company. Okay, yeah,
I'm with you in front of everyone.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Oh my god. That's a fireable offense.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Isn't it. I don't think that's what we paid for.
That's not what we paid for.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
No, No, definitely know that's not what you want to say. Wow,
I'd say it wouldn't be the only time that's happened
in that situation, I'd say some guys just probably get
a little excited, think that the ladies want more, and
they don't. They don't want any more.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
No no, no, no, no no no no no no no.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Not a solo handshow. No, what's that?

Speaker 2 (01:46):
My god, my god?

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Anyway, sorry, I just had to know what.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Because no, totally no, fair enough. No, I literally just
got the messages. We clicked record on the start of
the podcast. That's why I was just thrown. I was, yeah,
really throwing.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Now you're going after that tonight. We're not going to
talk too much about food, but you're catching up with
some friends. You're going to be a little bit later
than everyone else. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:08):
Yeah, So I think what will probably happen is they'll
order dinner and then I'll just arrive.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Right, I think, yeah, yeah, she it.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Yeah, it's definitely a shared plate kind of a place.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
We sing with sheer though is when you don't get.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
Enough if you go out for a group of if
you go out for dinner with a group of people. Yeah,
and it is a shared plate kind of a restaurant.
Are you Are you ever the orderer? No?

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Not usually, I'm not usually the initiator are you.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
I somehow have regularly found myself the orderer, and I
am so indecisive at the best of times. But there
is something I do feel like I do it power,
I do it quite well. And I think that's what's
happened is I've done it well a couple of times now.
Anytime we go out, someone will be like, oh, Matt,
like Matt is really good at this.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
I tend to find that whenever we go on work
trips and stuff, you are just the initiator. You're like, right, okay,
well i'll drive, Okay, well I'll get the maps. Okay,
well I'll find this cafe. I don't think you like waiting.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
I don't like waiting.

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Maybe that's maybe that's what it is.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
I don't like wedding. But I'm also not like a
type a rigid person like I don't feel like I
need to be in charge or in control all the time.
I interesting how you.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Fall into that role in that group scenario. You are
you that person in every groups in area?

Speaker 2 (03:29):
No, definitely not. I'm quite happy just.

Speaker 1 (03:31):
When you're surrounded by useless.

Speaker 2 (03:34):
Or mostly maybe I don't know.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
All right, I want to get here, Stash you talked
about the sticky date pudding in the place you're go
into it.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
It looks really good, do you. We're not regular to
got getters at restaurants.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Though, Nah, No I'm not. I'm not either, But if
there's a real good dessert, hmm, yeah, I can load me.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Hey, quick, little quick, little thing. We're looking for a
makeup artist to come and do a full face makeover

show today where she kicks out of the show with
quite an opinion based.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
So we received a message about someone who had been
told that she was rude and public and she was
really upset about it, and we got your thoughts on that.
You'll hear how divided at what was coming up.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
We also talked about op shopping because we have got
to find outfits at the op shop for our whole
ball this weekend, so we wanted to know the craziest
things you found at the op shop.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
And Battle of the Hats made a return. Find out
who wins today.

Speaker 2 (05:22):
It's always a giveaway like one of us, one of
us sounds defeated and one of us sounds excited.

Speaker 1 (05:28):
No, enjoy the podcast, everyone, Bye.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
Many imp the podcast.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
That's trade ees galore at the McLean T's household this week.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Peage, you've been street start. I know how much this
has been causing angst in your life.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Our bloody pipes are blood in our bathroom and I
don't know what's wrong. Although we had the guy come
out today and he reckons this is crazy to me,
but he thinks that tree roots been growing into the
pipes and now have blocked blocked the drainage somehow.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
How old are the pipes? Oh?

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Mate? Who knows?

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Pipe chat? Ten past three?

Speaker 2 (06:12):
Well wait because it's about to get better. So that
was that this is first this is first up. The
pipes have been are needing to be cleared. But then
I realized I have not even updated you on one
of the bigger risks that I've taken recently. What I
needed to get my hedges trimmed. I needed someone to
come around and trim a bush, remember.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
And did you find Yes, that's right. And you were
trying to work out whether you go for.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
The boogie one or the cheat one, and I think
almost exclusively our everyone on the text machine and on
the phones said do not go the cheaper option because X,
Y and Z will happen. I've had this issue. I've
had this you know people.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yeah, we did a whole phone topic on it, and
people were just warning against going for the cheap option.

Speaker 2 (07:00):
I went for the cheap option.

Speaker 1 (07:04):
Was after you found out the price of fixing the pipe.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
And look, we've got a holiday coming up, and I
thought I could really do with saving a little bit
of coin. So the guy arrives, right, and I don't
know much about trimming hedges, yeah, but I do hope
that a letter would come in really handy. Right, So

(07:30):
he rocks up and the first thing he says to
me is a bit taller than I was anticipating. You
don't have a letter, bony chance. Do you know I
didn't actually bring one with me.

Speaker 1 (07:44):
You wouldn't even have a letter your property.

Speaker 2 (07:47):
We have a stip letter so that we can reach
some of my high keebnet tree, but a ladder leader
we do not.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
So I got a good start.

Speaker 2 (07:57):
So I said to him, I said, all I can
do for you is give you this step ladder. And said, yeah, yeah,
that'll do. We'll help and safety be damned because next
thing I know, he's got those like wooden horses, you
know that like construction people have. Yeah, And he had

(08:18):
put a plank of wood on top of two wooden horses,
and then put the step ladder on top of the
plank of wood. And I was like, I'm blind anything,
I'm not looking. I'm inside doing my thing, you're outside
doing yours. I'm going to ignore it. But the step
ladder wasn't high enough, so he's only managed to trim

(08:41):
one half of the top of the huge So half
of the hedge is done, but the back half he
couldn't reach, so that's as high as it originally was.
So now our whole hedge is skew. Wi so he's
going to have to come background another time.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
You know, he's not coming back. We've started someone at NED,
we've started on.

Speaker 2 (09:03):
Our job, we've started the job. Anyway, he was a
lovely He was a lovely man. I have to say
lovely man. But I did think at that moment maybe
I should have listened to all the callers who said,
don't go the cheaper option.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Fuck the extra cash and get a different person. It's
just gonna get worse to give them back. I hate
to warn you, but.

Speaker 2 (09:24):
It's really nice. I really liked the guy.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
If you want to try Maddy's both texts for seven
many and the podcast, you can always get in touch
with us. Don't be shy, don't be a stranger. Of
course you can text us for eighty seven or I
had us up on our Facebook page, the hat Strive
with Messy and PJ.

Speaker 4 (09:46):
Now.

Speaker 1 (09:47):
We received a message earlier in the week and I
thought it was quite interesting, actually, because I feel like
this is a divisive topic that could get people wound up.
But I also do feel for this one and who's
got in touch with that? With us? Basically, she had
been to the cafe that morning, just dropped her kids,
off of pre school and she was walking into the store.

(10:10):
She had to take a.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Call for work.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
Life is busy, right, sure, So she's on the phone,
she's waiting in the line, and then the call ended
up going longer than she'd anticipated, and before she knew
it was her time to order, but she was still
on this pretty important call, so she just made her
order while on the phone. She's trying to like do both.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
Things, aren't we all? All the time?

Speaker 1 (10:32):
When she was finally giving her food and coffee, the
waitress told her how rude she thought it was that
she had not got off her phone. And now, like,
obviously this is not ideal, this is not like modul behavior, right,
But she's just feeling really gutted that she got called
out and wants to know is this actually that rude

(10:53):
or was the waitress and the right actually calling her
arf thoughts Combe's queries guys you can text are eight
seven eight hundred hits.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
It doesn't to me, It doesn't bother me in the slightest.
I'm not at all bothered if you can manage to
get to the front of the line and still make
an order. You know, if she had gotten to the
front of the line and said and held up the
line while finishing off a call. I think that's one thing.
But if she's able to multitask and be on her

(11:23):
phone and still order the food, what's the big deal.
I don't see what the masure is.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
I feel like it's different if you're just there on
your phone scrolling. I feel like that kind of feels like, okay, mate,
you can actually get off your phone for this. But
obviously it was quite an important phone call. She just
wanted to wrap it up. She was trying avess but
so she decided to make the order at the same time.
She's a busy mom. I get it, like she's trying
to do as much as she can in these little

(11:49):
pockets of what seems like an opportunity. So I feel
bad for it, but I get it. I also get
the other side of it, where it does seem really
rude that you can't just take a couple of seconds
to get off your.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Phone someone people. People are already texting in and I've
got to say most people saying it is very rude.
Someone said it's rude because you are not fully engaged.
But my question is this isn't someone that she was
looking to have a deeper, meaningful conversation with And I'm
not saying you should disrespect people in servers, but as
long as you can get your order out, why doesn't

(12:21):
matter if she's on the phone. And I feel like
I'm missing something here, I really do.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
I think it's perhaps because people on the receiving him
feel like the phone is more important than them in
that moment. Well, do you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah,
you know, it's possibly a generational thing. Maybe it's a
younger thing where where younger people feel like it's not
a rude thing and older people disagree. Love to know
on the phone. I feel like, well.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
Some people.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
The podcast.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
And we have opened for you Wednesday afternoon, just call
us News talk to her. Yea, yeah, So basically we've
been talking about a message we received earlier in the
week from a woman who was feeling quite embarrassed after
being called out. Basically, she just dropped her kids off,
she had a short amount of time, she went in
to order something from the cafe at the same time

(13:14):
she received a work call, and then the work call
ended up going longer than she'd hoped for. Anyway, she
ended up having to order right so she's on her
phone ordering at the same time. Then the waitress calls
her out afterwards, just saying, actually, what you've done is
incredibly rude and please don't do it again. Essentially, so
we have got your thoughts on such a way, Shan,

(13:35):
Is it rude or is it understandable?

Speaker 2 (13:38):
So many texts and honestly they are very divided and
people feel very passionately one way. Another someone said, yes,
it is rude. People doing this kind of thing is
all what has created such a lack of customer service
this day these days.

Speaker 1 (13:53):
Sorry, So yeah, honestly, there's so many different texts, but
least go to the calls. Honey is joining us? I
know eight hundred the hats honey? What are your thoughts?

Speaker 2 (14:02):
Hi?

Speaker 5 (14:03):
So I'm also a mum of, you know, a young kid,
so I know what it's like being busy, and like
my personal experience or expectation is that it's probably a
fast food restaurant where you want to get in, order
your food and just get on with it. So I

(14:24):
don't you know, the employees, the person the waiter is
getting paid to, you know, provide the food, take the order,
provide the food. And that's all being done, so I
don't see an expectation to engage at a conversation level
if you're busy.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Yes, And this is where people are disagreeing. They're saying,
it's it's general human decency right to actually show that
they are the priority, put the phone away and just
have the human and human human on human conversation, right.

Speaker 2 (14:53):
And I listen, and I said, initially, I don't really
have a problem with it. I don't see a problem
with it. But I am more than happy to be
proven wrong. And I think that the difference is that
maybe this is a sad indictment in society that I
just think this is the way we go. We are
so conditioned to being on our phones all the time,
We're so conditioned to be busy all the time. Sometimes

(15:14):
you just got to do what you've got to do.

Speaker 1 (15:15):
And particularly the younger generation is coming through, it's just
become so normalized. Right. Yes, it doesn't actually see you
know what's wrong, You kind of just do it anyway.
Zoe is joining us, Zoey, what are your thoughts? Hello? Zelli?

Speaker 6 (15:30):
Is that me?

Speaker 2 (15:31):
Yes, Yes, I'm Kelly, Kelly.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
What are your thoughts?

Speaker 7 (15:39):
So I've worked in many cafes being the manager, and
that generally, if somebody's on their phone and they come up,
they spit out what they want so fast that you
don't really catch everything, or you try to if you
read it back to them, because you read back the
order once you've put it into the till to make
sure you've got everything correct.

Speaker 6 (15:59):
They do not carry on with the conversation.

Speaker 7 (16:02):
But if you miss something that's complain Yeah about you.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
I get that.

Speaker 2 (16:12):
I do understand that.

Speaker 7 (16:13):
So you're saying, even it's a little bit of chocolate
into the cinnamon on the about you, you're.

Speaker 2 (16:19):
Saying, if they truly could multitask, fine, but more often
than can't.

Speaker 7 (16:25):
Yeah, when you get odd people that come in and
they put their hand on the phone and say sorry
and they put their phone call away for two minutes,
and it's that's sweet.

Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yeah, Okay, I still understood, understood.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Very understand. Okay, let's just wrap it up quickly with
Jordan Oe hundred. The hats your receiver. Jordan, what are
your thoughts on this?

Speaker 8 (16:42):
Yeah? I don't really have an issue with it. I mean,
maybe drop your phone into your shoulder. What are you're ordering?
So there isn't any confusion. But I mean, you know,
having been over seeds, you can you can order food
in places, but just pointing at stuff, So I don't
really see that much of an issue.

Speaker 1 (16:58):
That's kind of the if you do just start going
until a restaurant and not having conversations. I think it
is a reflection of society at the end of the
day and the absolute crazy expectations that are on everyone
nowadays to do everything at once. I think that's it.
And I don't think this person was bad. I think
she was doing the best she could in the situation. Yeah,
it's pretty much how I'm gonna wrap it up.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
Cut us some slack, but also had understanding for the
for the white stuff who do have to deal with
distracted people from time to time.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
God, that really fine people. Thank you so much for
your for Maddy and PJ.

Speaker 9 (17:34):
Madi and PJ the podcast The Heads of the.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Heads, and it is that time of the week. We're
both Maddie and I get very competitive against one another,
although we're still friends somehow.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
I don't know how, because it has been really touch
and go a few weeks.

Speaker 1 (17:54):
Yeah, it has, and I have to just remind you
it's just a game.

Speaker 2 (17:58):
I have to remind you it's just a game. Don't
put this all on me.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Okay, you com better, but that'st week. We thought we'd
have a bit of a bit of fun with the
theme because we are doing our pack the playlist at
the moment. We've got your chance to win a bunch
of prizes. All you need to do is text music
to four four eighty seven. We'll text you back a
link to actually pick our playlist if you think there
are songs that need to be headed added to the hits.

(18:23):
We really want your honest feedback. And you've gone. The
draw to win an iPhone fifteen Pro or Samsung Galaxy
is twenty four plus or one of five lots of
five one hundred dollars cash prices. So to get you
inspired today, we thought we would come to the table
with our pitch and what songs we believe our boss
should be adding to the playlist.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Do you want to go first this week?

Speaker 1 (18:44):
Yeah, you're probably not going to be surprised with what
I've gone. I actually think I said this song the
other day, but you may have forgotten. But my song
is one that I have not heard on the hits
and I strongly believe it should be added ASAMP. Instantly,
when you hear the song, you were transported back to
the early two thousands. It was largely popular in the
UK and the States, peaking at number four and number nine,

(19:08):
and it also found popularity in Australia, reaching number two
on the Singles Chart. The songs released in two thousand
and four from the band Outcast and it is a banger.
My song is Roses.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
Don't Stay a little bit closer.

Speaker 1 (19:31):
If you would like to vote for PJ, you can
call through right now. Oh wait, hundred the hats because
it will come down to best of three and then
we will play the song in its entirety in two
songs time.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
I'm taking you back to the year two thousand. We
had not seen the likes of The X Factor or
American Idol. Kellie Clarkson had not been crowned. What we
did have was a fun little show from down Under
called pop Stars. It produced the like Soul Troopless in

(20:01):
New Zealand, but it also produced a very incredible pop
group from Australia called bar Do and in the year
two thousand on their self titled debut album. This was
the first single that Bard released.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Oh my God, so.

Speaker 2 (20:30):
My peck for Battle of the Hits Pick a Playlist
Edition is Poison from bard.

Speaker 1 (20:36):
It's pretty niche.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
Do you reckon? Keep things?

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Will know that it's very niche from mcclass.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
As far as pop songs go, sheer band.

Speaker 1 (20:45):
Okay. So if you want to vote for Outcast, text PJ.
If you want to vote for Bardow text Matty to
four four eight seven. But really it comes down to
the phone, so get in touch. Oh wait one hundred.
The Hats are your Team Maddy or Team PJ this
week for the hit.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
To the podcast.

Speaker 9 (21:05):
The Heads Battles.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Of the Heads.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
And inspired by I picked the playlist on at the
Moment were you. All we need to do is text
music four four eight seven. We'll text you back a
link to help pick our playlist. Be super honest and
you go on the drawer when an iPhone fifteen pro
all Samsung Galaxy is twenty four plus as well as
five lots of five hundred dollars cash prizes. So we
thought right, leta's get the ball rolling. We'll come to

(21:32):
the table with our picks of what we believe should
be added to the playlist, and then we want you
to vote on eight hundred hits, which is best out
of Mattie and my choice? All right? First up, I
said this banger from the early two thousands from Outcast Roses.

Bit, and Hi went for the pop Princesses of Australia
Bardo and their debut single Poison.

Speaker 1 (22:16):

best of three and whoever wins, we will play out
the entirety of their song. First ut, we've got Chrissy

Guys?

Speaker 2 (23:58):
Are good? Shares? You have the decided vote for Battle
of the Hits this week, so there's a lot of pressure,
a lot of pressure.

Speaker 8 (24:06):
I can handle it, thanks Shelders.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
All right, Okay, Shares, who do you want to vote
for this afternoon? For Bettle of the Hats?

Speaker 6 (24:14):
Well, you know it's so both great songs and I'm sorry,
but I has to go.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Come on. I heard Chance and I knew she was
in any kind of vibes as well.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
Bring it home, Bring it home with Bardo. I love it.

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Thank you everybody for your votes this week for Battle
of the Heads. All right, take it away?

Speaker 2 (24:45):
Do you think turn it up? We're taking you back
to the year two thousand Bardo with Poison Mary and
Mary and the podcast We munch makeup, Like, do you

(25:10):
do you leather it on? Is that the right turn?

Speaker 1 (25:14):
There's one description, there's one way how some people do
use it, for sure. I'm pretty I'm quite a low
admind kind of gull. If you haven't already noticed that,
I do put on a little bit before the show,
Like you know, there's always kept miss rolling. So I'll
just chuck a bit of the old concealer underneath a
bit of MISCAA, but a tinted either sunscreen or moisturizer,

(25:37):
and then we're good to go.

Speaker 2 (25:38):
So I being and having worked in television before, I've
gabbled in a little bit of makeup from time to time.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
Yeah, that always power to you. So you didn't get
too sweety or glossy right a little?

Speaker 2 (25:50):
But I did once get told from a makeup artist
you have flawless skin, and I've always remembered it.

Speaker 1 (25:56):
But you have.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
But I was watching the most recent season of Selling
Sunset on Netflix.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
It's you're a sucker for reality.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
Too, trashy reality TV as well, like the worse of
the Better? You know?

Speaker 7 (26:12):
So?

Speaker 1 (26:12):
Is it just real estates but on steroids, like really
nice houses, really good looking people?

Speaker 8 (26:18):
Is it?

Speaker 1 (26:18):
Pretty much it?

Speaker 2 (26:19):
What I will say about Selling Sunset is the first
season definitely started out very real estate heavy, and I
think we're up to season maybe five or six by now,
and real estate plays a very low level right scandal,
a low level of involvement in the show. But I
was watching the show last night and one of the girls,
I mean no, not one of them. I was taken

(26:41):
them by one specifically, but then I started looking around
at all of them. They have the most insane amount
of makeup on. It is caked onto their face and
so many different elements to it as well.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
Or like all of the the contouring contour.

Speaker 2 (27:04):
There's a yes, there's absolutely like a shininess to their face.
Their lash is a huge, huge, Their lips are massive
and plump with all of this lipstick all over it.
And I had this, I had this. I was concerned
for watching the show going this must be the most
uncomfortable thing to wear.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
I mean I've had my I've had my makeup done
for events. Obviously, in this industry, we're lucky enough to
have like makeup done and stuff. And I think sometimes
with like the eyelashes and stuff, like when you get
the extension is put on and whatnot, that can be
kind of like, but you kind of get used to it.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
What about the amount of like foundation on their face though,
because this is not just a little bit of foundation,
this is high level face.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
How can you tell how much they've put on?

Speaker 2 (27:56):
But you can just see in the you can see
in the foot literal.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Oh see, I don't think I've ever gone to that level,
so I can't probably give you the best perspective on this. Well.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
I put it up on my Instagram story last night
and asked the question is this uncomfortable to weir? And
I asked, I said, if you wear makeup, how uncomfortable
is this to a person? Everyone in my stories said
it is so uncomfortable, really awful, and it's so impossible
to get up off. And then someone else said, wow,

(28:30):
it's only one way to find out.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Yes, maybe we put on the amount, like the level
that they were wearing. We'll get that done on you
and maybe tranced your whole show. See like your quality,
the caliber of your radio potential, I and.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
The and the interest of journalism. I am fascinated to
find out. So if there is a makeup artist out
there that could come in and give me a selling
Sunset esque makeover, get in touch on the text machine.
I would love to give this a go.

Speaker 1 (29:03):
Is this secretly because you just want to get a
call up for the show when you come better?

Speaker 9 (29:09):
Maddy and PJ medi and PJ the podcast The Median
Pj's Whole Ball with Razine.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
Oh and it was happening this Friday night. We honestly
so pumped. Our lucky winner of the Whole Ball is

to Zine Color Shops. We're going to give a fresh
lick of paint and then throw a massive party that

(29:39):
and drinks, spot prizes and games. Sound like something you
would be keen on. You can register at the Hits
dot com dot mz slash Holeball for your chance to

Speaker 2 (29:49):
I mean, the thing about it is they sound like
a very eager community. They're very excited others coming. They
sound like a lot of fun, So it might very
well be that comes out a morning we do forget
a few bit.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
Of the possibly there is a chunch now. We have
talked about the theme of the night because we know
that times tough financially at the moment. We don't want
people going out and spending hundreds of bucks on an outfit.
So we've got black tie on an shop budget so
many and I decided to hit the op shops today
and produce a sierra to try and get some ideas

(30:23):
of what to wear. I'm not gonna lie. I don't
know if I've found the one yet, guys, but we
have put up a bit of a model video on
our Instagram page the Hits Drive with medi and PJ,
and also on our Facebook. It's going up like pretty
much now, please go and help us vote on which

(30:44):
outfits you think we should wear on Friday night.

Speaker 2 (30:47):
Brilliant and then PJ and I will dress to the nines.
I'm thinking this wasn't part of the video, but I
do feel like because it's a little bit of a
rural setting. I think I need my my cowboy.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
Yeah, you look good and I love it when you
dress up like a cowboy.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
All right, okay, you're a married you.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Anyway, we have all been a shops today now, produces Sarah.
While she was trying to find herself a lovely frock,
you came across some pretty interesting items in the second
hands to It.

Speaker 10 (31:22):
Yes, So I went over to the CD section. Yeah,
in particular, Honest, I'll be honest, I was looking for
you to tell us because you know, they're like a dollar.
I was like, I could be in the hands of
you know, some old So I was flicking through every
single CD. Yeah, and I came across this picture of

(31:43):
a man and a woman. It looked like a real
photograph taken, not like a special album cover or anything,
kind of hugging looking at the camera, showing their rings off.
And I was like, this looks.

Speaker 1 (31:53):
Like a home TVT.

Speaker 10 (31:55):
So I opened it up and on the back it
said engagement video stop it and it just has a
blank disc inside.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
Did you get it? And did you watch it?

Speaker 10 (32:06):
I thought it might be a bit too far if
I did that. Like went home and was like, what
are these two up to But isn't that like, why
would they donate that?

Speaker 2 (32:15):
Do you know what I reckon has happened? That screams
to me. Someone who had a massive CD collection has
just bundled up every single g and donated it a
whole lot and they forgot that it was in there.
I wonder how.

Speaker 1 (32:27):
They've shared this incredibly proper.

Speaker 10 (32:29):
If we put this on our Instagram story, these people
we could find.

Speaker 2 (32:33):
We could find them.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
Should we do that and put it on they might
be looking for it.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
Let's let's put that. Let's put that up and see
if anyone knows who.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
The couple was. At the meantime, I'll waite hundred of hats.
What is the craziest, wildest, most random, strange thing that
you've come across at a second hand store or an
op shop? Get in touch. I'll wait hundred of the hats.
We have your chance to win a hal Peaks of
Archer the Strangest Finds and an op shop. We'll go
there next.

Speaker 9 (33:01):
May and May and PJ the podcasts.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
And we've just been talking about op shops and strange
finds that you have discovered inside the second hand store.
Like our lovely producer Sarah did Earl esterday when she
came across. I would say, quite an intimate video for
a couple to have out, you know, in the in
the public excess of an op shop.

Speaker 10 (33:27):
Yeah, so this was an auclane. I've just put it
on the hat Strive Instagram story just in case anyone
knows this lovely couple and they might want their engagement
video that.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
I can't believe You're curiosity didn't get the better of
you and you didn't watch, but I did get us
talking about the strange things that you found in an
op shop. A non is joining us?

Speaker 9 (33:49):
Now?

Speaker 1 (33:49):
Was this something to actually buy or just something you
witnessed in a second hand store?

Speaker 6 (33:55):
So I was shopping in the shop and there was
a other customer in there wearing a red clown note
which I was just thought okay and went with it.
And then they had a companion with them who was
calling them haha. I overheard and I sort of thought,

(34:18):
surely that can't be and then yeah, no, A couple
of times I heard it and I just lost it
and I had to go to the back of the shop.
I just yeah, I had to run away.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
So it was a clown dressed up in the middle
of the shop.

Speaker 6 (34:34):
Not a clown, just a person wearing a red clown. No,
but yeah, they were being referred to genuinely.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
As haha, like some sort of role.

Speaker 6 (34:45):
Yeah, I'm not quite sure, but yeah, but we.

Speaker 2 (34:50):
Don't yuck anyone's yeam, we don't.

Speaker 1 (34:51):
Y no, don't ha ha. Michelle is joining us. What
did you say in a shot?

Speaker 6 (34:59):
Hello?

Speaker 4 (35:00):
So I was shopping for my sons. I was looking
for a costume and below all the costume wreck there
was a box full of random stuff. And in a
box I found an.

Speaker 7 (35:11):
Adults inflatable soul.

Speaker 6 (35:16):
Yes, yes, that was for sale.

Speaker 3 (35:20):
Okay, so.

Speaker 2 (35:25):
Used cliches.

Speaker 4 (35:28):
I didn't open the box to have.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
A book, nor would you, Michelle, I don't think. But hey, look,
if anyone's looking to get a bag and where was
the shop and shell, someone might be This.

Speaker 4 (35:41):
Was actually an the Storkland and the Storklan. Okay, So
I have a theory about your engagement CD. What a
favorite cup when they just threw it out.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Going over the Instagram particular, we've just made it so
much worse every way to the hats drive on Instagram.
Let us know if you know the couple.

Speaker 9 (36:16):
Maddy and PJ Many and PJ the podcast, the Heads, the.

Speaker 11 (36:22):
People's Poll, the People's Poll, everybody comes together.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
It's the People's polled.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
Every day we have a new People's Poll. And don't
get you can't teach your suggestions to four four eighty seven.
But today inspired by a very cute news story.

Speaker 8 (36:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:37):
So back in twenty seventeen, Rainbow's End, the theme park
in Auckland, announced that they were ending the Pirate Ship
ride after thirty years. It was a pretty iconic ride
that was probably one of the most noticeable rides. Yeah,
but they decided it needed. It was just it was
time to retire the Pirate Ship, so they sail away,

(37:01):
put it to bed, Yeah, put it to beard. And
now they have announced that Rainbow's End is bringing back
the Pirate Ship in twenty twenty five.

Speaker 1 (37:11):
So just break it down for people like myself. I've
never been on the Pirate Shop. Is it literally just
go back and forward on repeat?

Speaker 2 (37:18):
Yes, So you sit on you sit on either side
of the Pirate Ship and it's like a pendulum, so
it just swings, but it gets very very high.

Speaker 1 (37:27):
I don't know, out of all the rides, I feel
like that might make.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
Me a bit nause made me very nauseous because in
twenty seventeen, when they announced that they were closing it
down on breakfast, I had to go and ride the
Pirate Ship for the full three hours of our show.
This is a little snippet of what happened. Told it god, oh.

Speaker 3 (37:51):
Oh oh no, it's an embarrathon. This is embarrassing. Oh God, don't.

Speaker 11 (38:01):
Oh it smells.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
Don't look at me.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
So that was me spewing, oh, fear enough. I couldn't
hack the head. Not a good So how long three hours?

Speaker 2 (38:15):
I didn't even make the full three hours. I had
to get off. I had to get anyway. Welcome back
the Parate Ship.

Speaker 1 (38:24):
Okay, So this is inspired basically chatting theme park rides
today as an adult. Do you enjoy them? That is
the question?

Speaker 10 (38:33):
Yes or no?

Speaker 1 (38:34):
Text through four four eight s even or you can
weigh in on eight hundred of hats. I'm going to
say for many years I thought I was too cool.
I reckon I went through itly since I went through
kind of like early twenties, and I was like, no,
not for me. But I don't know if it's now.
I've got a cad myself I'm.

Speaker 11 (38:45):
Like so.

Speaker 2 (38:48):
Apart from that particular, yes, I love a roller coaster,
love a theme park. My husband Ryan hates them, hates Okay.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
So theme park rides is an adult six years or
no to four four eight seven will reveal the results
near many the podcast.

Speaker 11 (39:08):
The People's Poll, the People's Poll, everybody comes together, it's
the People's polled.

Speaker 1 (39:12):
We're talking rides, baby, that is the theme for the
People's Poll today. Matthew, would you like to inform the
inform people of the exciting news coming out of Auckland today.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
Yes, Rainbow's Inn has announced there after an eight year hiatus,
the Pirate Ship ride is coming back. Shoot.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
Now it does beg the question are you an adult
and do you still enjoy same part rides?

Speaker 5 (39:39):
Now?

Speaker 1 (39:39):
No shame here, absolutely no shame at all. So you
can take through four four eight seven kit text year.
While I was super excited to go on the rides
on the GC recently, however, did I get a shock
once there? Nope? Definitely not for me. Now I'm an
adult to take the kid teenagers on the children's Scooby
Doo Dollar Coast roller coaster. Even that was too far.

(40:00):
That's a good ride. That is a good ride.

Speaker 2 (40:02):
It's a good ride, It's a cute ride. Are the
majority of people say yes? Still love theme parks as
an adults? Sixty four percent said yes, thirty six said nap.

Speaker 8 (40:11):
Not for me.

Speaker 1 (40:13):
I think we all just go through Oh maybe not everyone,
but I feel like some do go through that phase.
We're just a little too cool.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
Keep bick into it, keep back into it.

Speaker 1 (40:22):
Any ideas for Thames for the People's pole, don't forget
to text them through four foot eight seven.
