Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Hats Drive with Media and PJ thanks to Chemist
ware House the Real House of Fragrances on that. Hi everyone,
welcome to the podcast. Hey you just talking logistics for
a campavan. Yeah, we've got a six person birth six
what I don't know what the official term is? Six
that's six people.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Does that mean that there will be individually drooms?

Speaker 2 (00:25):
No, what that will mean? I reckon? I think as
someone who has done a few campavan trips, is your
hate Like you have three seats in the front, and
then there will be like an almost like a lounge
which will have a couple of seats behind the main
the front of the of the camper van. Does that
make sense? So where where the driver and passenger seats

(00:47):
are then behind that will be the lounge, and that'll
have some seating in there for people to sit on
a little table around it yep, and a little kitchen sink.
And then I'd say there should only be one bedroom.
Maybe there might be a bed up above where the
driver's seat is, okay, in the roof.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
Foremost, where will we put a child's car set? Will
that be up the front?

Speaker 2 (01:14):
I'd say probably up the front? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Interesting? Okay, just wondering in case I wanted to show
my husband how much I loved him, whether we're all
in the same room kind of situation.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Or like, well, the ones that I've been in there's
been like a private bedroom right down the back with
like a double beard in their Yeah, and then in
the lounge there's almost like a you could almost like
fold out the couch to make a bed.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Okay, so Charlie could sleep there.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Charlie could sleep in the lounge.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah, I love sleeping with Mummy. He'll crawl back into bed.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
But do you want some alone time? Is that what
you're saying?

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:48):
I know.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
I'm just thinking it could be quite romantic being a
camper van totally, you know, under the stars, just us
in a camp a van.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
What are you gonna do? You're gonna cook or are
you gonna like you're just get I.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Think, hit some groceries, but then also like obviously leave
room for the fun to be crazy and spontaneous and
taste the delicacies the coromental has to offer. But I
don't know, we're pretty I bumped it up, came down
last night, and I kind of just gonna wing it.
We're meeting some friends in fits. Apparently they've got a main.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Batch people do so key with. That's there, there's.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
A mean hairs batch that we might stay out the
front of the ears.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
That's what you want. I reckon in like I reckon
if my if I could give advice to like younger people, yeah,
my advice to get a bit, either get a patch
or make friends with someone who has a bet yes, yes,
and then also make friends with someone who's like Plumber
got a boat build like trade ees always good to

(02:49):
have around.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, I agree.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
A chef like a foodie, someone who's good at cooking
always a good and the friend group a waste of space.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
No, you're the entertainer, a good cocktail maker.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
I do like making cocktails and I do enjoy cooking.
I can cook, I can cook. Yeah, I'm also like
that's those are highlights. Low lights are I'm the person
that doesn't takes back.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
You're so good. You come out strong, though, and you'll
reply quite quickly, and we might be in a conversation
and then it's.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Like bull dead silence.

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, what's the process there? What's happening in your end?

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Either I'm busy and I think I'll reply to this later,
or sometimes I think I'm just not in the mood
to reply right now, but then I forget to reply,
or I think I've think of a witty response, and
then the witty response doesn't come.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
You know you don't need a wity response.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
May I know?

Speaker 1 (03:46):
I'll take anything. It's just a little MODI.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Well, I've got to meet you at your level, so
witty is not.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
I beg your pardon. This week has been blow after
blow after blow.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
For my EEO.

Speaker 5 (04:02):
EGO.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Can I tell you we're doing it. I don't know
that they'll be thrilled with this if we talk about it,
but we're doing a promotion for Blue's big play that's
coming this year. PHA twice has excellently mispronounced Bluey's as
blow E's.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Easy, Fredian slurp least be here because I was trying
to say, is blowing up? Blowing up, which is very easy?
Did then accidentally say blowing And it wasn't great when
we said that the show It's okay. I don't know it.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
Did.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
I can't wait to hear about your I can't wait
to hear about your camp of ventrip.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Oh you'll see it on my stories A weekend and
then a wrap up real with the music. Okay, coming
up in the podcast, We've got a lot of fun
to get across, and we talked about what is the
most well catered industry in New Zealand after I only
had an experience at a stear room at a primary school.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
Plus, we wanted to know when did the speech go
too far? I've got my best friend's wedding coming up
and we wanted to know where the line was.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Basically been a surprise guest on the call for that chat.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
We did. We did, yes, someone from my past.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Oh and we got some professional advice for BJ the husband,
because he's obviously on this journey of becoming a really
successful voice over artists.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
It's it's so good, so good. I've got to take
that further.

Speaker 6 (05:36):
Coming up with the podcast, enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Big day for me today, Matthew.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Huge day, Huge day. You were with inspiring the youth
of tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
I well, so a good friend of ours. She's a
teacher at a primary school at a whole We actually
sort of reached out saying, Hi, look would love you
to come in and just talk about, you know, your
experience in radio and get kids pumped up. About it
because we're going to be doing our own radio station.
And I said, I'd love to absolutely love to no
a time and a place.

Speaker 2 (06:12):
And I'll be there now. Is she aware of how
awkward you are in public?

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Yes? Well maybe not in public settings because I do
get really nervous talking crowds.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
Ironically, Yeah, so she didn't she didn't know this, or
she knew it and thought bugger will get you in anyway.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Oh look, it was a free guest, come on, come
on my No, no, she was. I think she's as
well and truly aware what she'd sort of you know,
got herself into. And it was pretty relaxed, to be fair,
it was. It was really lovely. Went into the classroom,
sat down, talk about my experience in radio and what
I'd wanted to be growing up.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
How old are these kids?

Speaker 1 (06:52):
Like nine, nine and ten?

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Can I ask you to? Can I ask an honest question?
Did any of them have any idea who you were?

Speaker 1 (07:02):
Well, this is the funny part, right, So the teacher
had to vet the questions prior to me coming in
just to make sure they weren't going to throw any
curlies at Sure. She had to vet like five and
like stop them at the gate because instead of asking
questions about me, they wanted to know about my husband BJ,
because because he's a famous rugby player who plays for

(07:24):
the Wided Upper.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
Bush wanted to know about.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
She was like, no, do you know the answer to
the question? No, we can't ask that, which was incredibly
humbling and also BJ loved it.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
Did that brought you back down to earth? Didn't that
it did?

Speaker 1 (07:46):
But once we've done the chat, which was lovely, we
had like really interactive kilnay. I got invited into a
room that not many people get to go, particularly when
you're a student at a school, and that is the
staff friend. They were like, come on in, come on
in for a bit of morning tea.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Oh my god, that thing that's like Narnia. That is
like going through the magic wardrobe into Narnia.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
I couldn't believe my eyes. I felt so special. I
wandered and they're like, would you like a cold drink?
Would you like a cup of tea? You've actually hit
the jackpot because today we've got a bit of a
spread on for a little special warning tears.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Yeah, did you feel did you feel alien like? Did
you almost feel naughty? Like you didn't belong and you
shouldn't be there.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
Well, I saw teachers in their true habitat, you know,
I got to see teachers like they were like that,
we have the game together out there, we can be
what even we wanted.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
It was brilliant and they were like being, you.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
Know, just like regular people. There were regular people with
really great food as well. I couldn't believe the spread
that had been put on.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
What are we talking it was?

Speaker 1 (08:47):
There was sour dough, hummus, it was cheery olds, chips, crackers,
little bits of sweet trees. There were sweet trees. There
was fruit, sliced up vegetables. It was an array of food,
and I thought, well, is this what workplaces deal with?
Like you in an industry? I would love to know

(09:07):
the industry out there that gets fared the best at work?
Like how often are you getting those regular morning teas,
free lunches where you work? I know they said this
was a once off, and maybe it was, but it
didn't get me thinking, I'll wait a hundred of the
hats or you can text through four for eight seven.

(09:28):
Are you in a really well caated job? And maybe
you wouldn't think it like obviously people in cafes and
people who were in the food industry get feed well.
But do you do a job where there is regular
delicious free fill.

Speaker 4 (09:43):
Many J many and pga.

Speaker 1 (09:46):
The podcast the heads, I sort of no, oh eight
hundred the hats, what industry are you in and do
you get really well caated?

Speaker 2 (09:55):
I will say we are pretty lucky here in Radio Reason.
There is quite often like pr packages will be sent
to us with different foods or something. But I am
looking at the text machine going. Even I who feel
very lucky, feel a little bit jealous at some of
their texts that people are sending. And listen to this
one peach a lemon picking gang, so they obviously have

(10:17):
like a lemon farm. Yes, are fed by us when
they come during the season season we make an oven
tray sized chocolate cake for morning tea. Then lunch is
either venison casts a role or deviled sausages with cheesy
garlic buns.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Oh, this has make me hungry.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
Isn't that insane?

Speaker 1 (10:36):
Some amazing texts coming through a love us one. I
swear my wife's work as a damn sheared lunch or
warding tea at least once a week. She made buy
roast chicken and buns. Last night, Donna's joining us on
oh one hundred the hats. Donna, where do you work
and are you super well? Feed Kilda?

Speaker 5 (10:53):
I'm Donna. I work at Glennberby School and fang.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Are they you're a teacher as well? Donna.

Speaker 5 (10:58):
I've been cracking out listening to you guys talk about
how we're like not normal people. We're normal people.

Speaker 1 (11:06):
No, that's what I said.

Speaker 4 (11:07):
You are normal people.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
But in the classroom you have to be sensible and
then in the star froom everything changes.

Speaker 7 (11:13):
Is that.

Speaker 8 (11:15):
No?

Speaker 5 (11:16):
No, I think we're crazy in.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Both Okay, so, but is this the norm? Because PJ
saw this massive spread at the school she went to today.

Speaker 5 (11:25):
I think they're lying to you like we are so spoiled.
Teachers are so spoiled by who and how regulate. So
today our teacher just happened to stop them at the
cafe on the way to school for coffee and one
of the mum's missus Quackers. If you live in Fargy,
you love missus Quacker's cakes. They're the bomb. And she

(11:46):
gave a whole cake to bring to school and we're like,
what these cakes like eighty five ninety dollars. Good morning teeth.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Ah jealous Donner.

Speaker 1 (11:56):
That's you know, that's case by case. It comes down
to the kindness and uenerosity of each teacher. Producers are losing.
It's my favorite food ever. You have to go there
for and find okay, Anya joining us?

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Where do you work? Anya?

Speaker 1 (12:13):
And are you well catered for?

Speaker 9 (12:16):
I work at a wedding venue and little old ye
And after every wedding that we do, we get a
full dinner spread. We get like roast meats and veggies.
We get salmon, kannapees and stuff, Italian meatballs and everything,
like all of the stuff that would make for the
wedding and everything. We get a full feed afterwards.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
Because it's a wedding, it's often fancy good. Oh my god,
you got.

Speaker 1 (12:47):
Amazing and we have got a really excited duve and
links prize pat coming away. Oh thanks to Kim as

Speaker 9 (12:54):

Speaker 1 (12:56):
You're more than welcome. I used to be a catera

prawns up the stairs, face planted prawns everywhere. Diabolical or form.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Can I read this text to you? A couple of
text machine. Someone said, I we can tech. We have
cheese platters every Tuesday. Cupboards are always full of snacks, noodles,
bread spread, team dinner once a month. Not to mention,
most meetings are caterd We're going to give me into

Speaker 1 (13:28):
I'm a travelergent. When we go on CRUs inspections, we
get three course meals amazing or even supplier events are
well catered for. All this has been very enlightened.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
You Lucky Buggers.

Speaker 6 (13:40):
Lucky Buggers, the podcast, the Peoples Pole, the Big Poles Pole.

Speaker 4 (13:49):
Everybody comes together.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
It's the po right now.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
It is time for another trivial question without people's pole,
and we do chuck this up on our Instagram page.
The hats drive with many and PJ on our story.
Every single day, another day, another moment happens to mclin
that he needs to gauge the publics thoughts.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
On Well, I was out Ryan, My husband and I
were out walking with our dog and we're walking down
the road and all of a sudden we spotted a
cell phone on the footpath and we thought, oh, someone's
obviously lost their phone. It's either fallen out of their
pocket or they've dropped it or whatever's happened. It's on
the footpath and I picked it up and I looked

(14:29):
around and no one was around. It wasn't like I
just walked past anyone. It was quite quiet, And I thought,
what do I do with this phone? Now? Do I
just leave it here because they might retrace these steps
and they might come back looking for it. But if
I leave it, someone could steal it, you know, with
bad intentions. Or do I try and find a local
establishment that I drop it off? Then do I take

(14:51):
it to a police station? But it's the police station's
closed right now. And do people even go to a
police station looking for lost property anymore? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
Yeah, oh my god, I don't know what I'd do.
I would say if there was a nearby establishment, say
there was a cafe really nearby, that would be my
first go to. What about the house that it's right
outside of. I mean, it's not guaranteed that it's from there,
but is it worth going? Hey, don't suppose you've lost
a phone?

Speaker 7 (15:17):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (15:17):
I didn't even I honestly didn't even consider that. Yeah,
it was I was at a real line. Now, well,
it's currently in my bag because I will take it
to the police station, because that's the only thing I
could think of to do with it. Yeah, I held
on to it, hoping that they might call, you know,
trying to find their phone, and then I could answer
and tell them. But they never called.

Speaker 1 (15:38):
So well, I was going to say, if you could
actually get into your phone, it would be really good
if you could call you know, some of your favorites
or whatever. But you can't.

Speaker 2 (15:45):
Can no, And people can add like an emergency contact
to their phone. But I went into that and there
was no emergency content theory. I was at a real
loss as to what to do.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
My other suggestion is go on a Facebook page. You know,
I make it be painful, but like a lost and
found or whatever. The suburb you're in.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
True, lots lots of suburbs have a local Facebook page
these days. It's a good idea. That's a good idea.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
I've actually come up with a few good ideas. Okay,
so let's see what the general consensus is on there.
So if you are walking down a random street, you
find someone else's phone on the pavement, you've got no connection,
what do you do with it? Do you take it
to the police station? Do you drop it to a
nearby establishment? Do you just leave it there? Text what
you would do in that situation to four four eight

(16:32):
seven or you came way in on one hundred the hit.

Speaker 6 (16:36):
Podcast, The People's Poll, the People's Pole, everybody comes together.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
It's the People's Poll today on the People's Pole. We
want to know what do you do if you find
a lost phone on a random street, like Mattie McLean
did this morning?

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Yeah, I didn't know what to do with it. Do
I leave it there but then someone else could steal it?
Do I take it to a police station? But do
people even go looking for the lost property at a
police station anymore?

Speaker 1 (17:02):
I really don't know what the right thing to do is.
But people have weighed in, and Zak is joining us. Zach,
you've had an experience yourself. What happened?

Speaker 10 (17:10):
Yeah, hey you guys again. I love you guys. I
texted you yesterday regarding the fighting thing with the plaque
on and you thought it was a plague like a
local on your on your People's call. Yeah, So what
happened About a week ago? I lost my wallet and
I thought I actually left it at home, and I

(17:32):
don't my wife don't worry, We'll find it. And the
next day I got a call from the police and
I was like, oh gosh, what did I do now?
And then and the constable said to me, Hey, look,
someone turned in your wallet at the you know, the
north Shore police station. Come pick it up. I didn't
even know it was. It was that level of missing.
So it definitely helps that people still turning these things.
It still had the money in it, it still had everything.

(17:54):
I didn't have to really like that. Yeah, so I
was very appreciative of people doing that.

Speaker 1 (17:59):
So it's not too extremes to go to the police
station because you do feel like that. But I suppose
if you've got no other avenue, detain totally.

Speaker 2 (18:06):
The only thing I would say about that situation, though,
is that that's a wallet with an ID and a
phone's not necessarily so identifiable.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
But still, Liz, they've got the boomer pocket on it.

Speaker 2 (18:19):
True, which this one didn't. But that would be good.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
It can be helpful. Charlotte Christ you just calling through
hundred the hats. Have you had a similar situation too?

Speaker 9 (18:29):
Yeah, yeap.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
I lost my phone about a week ago. And Pandoma,
of all places, so big place, lots of people thought
for sure it was gone. Found a security guard and
he actually let me walk around the shop bringing my
number off his phone, and I knew it wasn't even
on loud, it was on vibrating. I couldn't hear. I
couldn't figure it out, you know. And then yeah, I mean,

(18:51):
our whole lives are in our phones now that you know,
you've got eat your post cards, you've got.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Your IDs totally all that.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
Yeah, and so I just thought, you know, I was
panicking at this point. And then then someone answered my
phone and they said, they said, look, this is not
my phone, and I'm really sorry for answering it, but
it might be yours. And from there, yeah, from there
I actually managed to meet up with this person and
grab my phone. So even if you know, even if

(19:17):
it's so quiet, someone's going to see it lined up.
Why wouldn't you try ringing it or ring it off
another number or something.

Speaker 2 (19:23):
You know, had a call yet Mata, Well it's now
run out of batteries, is the thing? Charge it up?

Speaker 1 (19:29):
So that's an andlid Noote, thank you so much for weighing.
And if we go to the Instagram pole with specific percentages,
what is everyone say.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
Can I just quickly read you this text though, which
I thought was really interesting? Someone said, can you ask
Google or Siri to call mum or dad? You know,
so if you said, hey, Siri, call mom, then it
might call that number for you. I got it calling
my mum, Tracy.

Speaker 1 (20:02):
Would you need an excess code to get into that though?
You couldn't do that?

Speaker 2 (20:05):
No, I don't think so. I don't. Oh, maybe I'm wrong.

Speaker 11 (20:09):
Serious.

Speaker 12 (20:10):
It's normally voice activated itself. I said, hey, Sirih, it
probably wouldn't open up your phone.

Speaker 7 (20:15):
Maddy.

Speaker 12 (20:15):
Oh, it's you could try to go sorry, hey Sirih
and do a couple of different voices.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
But I don't all of the different voices out there.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
Okay. The overwhelming response on the on the Instagram pole
was take it to the police. Sixty eight percent said
do that, twenty two said drop it to a nearby establishment.
Five percents he'd leave it where it is.

Speaker 11 (20:34):
You know what to do?

Speaker 1 (20:35):
Many do the right thing, trip to the police station,
come and write it.

Speaker 3 (20:38):
Many.

Speaker 4 (20:39):
In the podcast Battle of the Heads, all right.

Speaker 1 (20:50):
It is time the Battle of the Hairs. We have
one artist, two songs going head to hear. This week's
artist is none other than the iconic nineties heart throbs
Backstreet Boys. I can't believe we'ven't done the muet.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
I know I love the Backstreet Boys still do still
do so.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
Do I I think Nick Carter still has to be
my heart rob. He had to be the favorite. Oh yeah,
But Maddie and I have gone away and had a
good hard think about what we believe. It's Backstreet Boy's
best song and you just need to weigh in and
text through Team Matty or Team PJ, or weigh in
on oh eight hundred the hats Maddie, what would you

(21:30):
like to vote for?

Speaker 2 (21:31):
I'm taking you back to nineteen ninety nine. This was
the second single of the Backstreet Boys record shattering album Millennium.
It immediately captured the hearts of millions the hit. The
song hit the top ten in over ten countries. It
is absolutely such a banger. Also, fun Fact has one

(21:52):
of the most expensive video music videos ever made to
a company. It It became a live performance staple for
the Boys, and you will want to turn this song
up in your car. My pick for Battle of the
Hits this week is larger than life, right. It's a

(22:24):
good one that is a good one, dam it.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
Okay, So my choice for Backstreet Boys because when you
think Backstreet Boys, you think everybody. You think I want
it that way. Yeah, we play that all the time totally.
But one thing Backstreet Boys knew how to do was
tug on the heart strings and connect with your emotions.
And I wanted to go for a bit of a

Speaker 4 (26:49):
Mady and PJ May and PJ the podcast.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
Okay, so it's been a bit of a rough week
for my farmer husband BJ, who we may or may
not have pranked. On Monday afternoon, one of our colleagues
called him acting as someone who worked for a voice agency,
basically reaching out seeing if he could do a few
lines for a couple of brands, to see if maybe

(27:14):
he could be the next big commercial voice over.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
Because this is his dream. He's hoping that he could
get the call up. He really wants to do this,
He wants to get off the farm and into the
voice booth.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
He sent a few comments to me where he's like,
is it really that hard? I don't understand why you
have to be in radio to voice these ads. Surely
there's not that much to it.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
Well, let's ever listen back to some of the voice
clips that we managed to get down the phone. When
our colleague prank called him the other.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Day, Bigger, better, bolder, made by men up.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
Sorry, no, no, no, you're all good. Give another go
made by men for men space. Prior to the South.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
PIJE, have you had any big companies directly approach you
since the exposure of your voice on Monday?

Speaker 7 (28:01):
Yeah, it was pretty bad, was no?

Speaker 15 (28:04):
No?

Speaker 2 (28:05):
You know?

Speaker 11 (28:09):
I thought that was hot wine and singer for Beauty.

Speaker 2 (28:12):
Yeah, you truly thought this is going to be the
making of me. I've got a new career here.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
I know you think it's a really industry, really easy
industry to crack, but I guess this afternoon we wanted
to showcase the reality of the industry. You have to
be prepared for criticism and you have to be prepared
for feedback. Do you think that you could hack that?

Speaker 9 (28:33):
No?

Speaker 2 (28:36):
Well have you said that this is awkward? Because we've
gone to the professionals, Beag. We've reached out to Teresa Heally.
You remember her as Nurse Carmen in the original Short
Industry and absolutely icon. She's an incredible actress and she's
a voice and acting coach herself. Teresa, thank you so

(28:56):
much for being with us.

Speaker 11 (28:58):
I'd love you to be here.

Speaker 13 (28:59):
Thanks reminding me Beach.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Do you want to say harder Teresa? Or here?

Speaker 3 (29:04):
Are you going?

Speaker 1 (29:05):
Nice boy?

Speaker 4 (29:06):
Nice?

Speaker 14 (29:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (29:08):
Okay, Teresa, we want you to be truly, truly honest
this afternoon. Do you say there's any any actual, genuine
potential future when it comes to voice over work for BEJ.

Speaker 13 (29:22):
Look, I think any anyone can do it if you
really want. You've got to want to do it more
than anybody else. But anyone can do it. It's just
a voice, and it's just rhythm and it's just music.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
He's got that kind of raw quality to his voice,
doesn't he It's.

Speaker 13 (29:37):
A real voice at the moment everybody, everybody wants real,
authentic and totally authentic. It is totally authentic. No, absolutely,
So I hear some more? Can I hear some more
from you?

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Be beach? Do you want to give her a little
little show real right here?

Speaker 13 (29:55):
What do you want me to say? Give me the fakes,
Pride to the South, all right, e spates the South? Yeah, okay, Now,
just open up your throat a little bit more. Just
open your throat like you know, you're just wide open
inside as if you're swallowing a sword. You're doing so
it's just like a really live round, like a big ball.

Speaker 7 (30:17):
In the back of your throat.

Speaker 13 (30:18):
And say it again, spake.

Speaker 11 (30:22):
Nice.

Speaker 7 (30:23):
Okay, that's good.

Speaker 13 (30:23):
Now, just your tunny, get a bit more down in
your tunny and just and just bounce on, bounce on
your on your knees, so it's a bit more relaxed.
Get your hips going, get your hips going. And I
want spaces prior to the South Spake.

Speaker 2 (30:40):
Oh my, that was your best one year. You're a
miracle worker.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
Are you on the farm right now doing a little.

Speaker 10 (30:59):
I'm setting in a truck on.

Speaker 2 (31:01):
A hill, bouncing up and down. So, Theresa, we've reached
out to a few companies who are keen to get
BJ on to be the voice of a Rits. You
think he's got what it takes.

Speaker 13 (31:11):
Yeah, if I'm doing next to him, I'm pretty sure
I could do that.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
It's the only condition. Terresa, You're such a good sort.
Thank you so much for coming on and giving some
honest to BJ.

Speaker 13 (31:25):
Okay, love, good luck everyone.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
And BJ just just keep practicing the bounce okay.

Speaker 4 (31:31):
And open.

Speaker 2 (31:33):
Open.

Speaker 9 (31:37):
We're going to have to get on the book.

Speaker 4 (31:43):
Mady J Mady and PJ the podcast The Head.

Speaker 2 (31:48):
I'm so sorry to do this. What it's about running?

Speaker 1 (31:54):
God, I was thinking it'd been a while two days.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
So I've got the half marathons coming up next next
weekend in Auckland.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
I'm so proud of you because you have stayed on
the bandwagon since we ran the Hard Think and earlier
this year. I have not I think I've done one run.

Speaker 2 (32:15):
I'm really loving it, But I've got a bit of
a My calf has been playing up the last couple
of weeks, and someone said to me, you've got to
get that tape. I can't even remember what it's called,
but you know, you see a real athletes like put
the tape on different their hamstrings with the calf. Yes,
My question is I do actually have surprisingly hairy leaks.

(32:36):
So do I put the tape on over top of
the here and then just have to go through the
painful process of potentially ripping some of the hairs out,
or do I have to shave your chaser, But then
only one part of my calf is going to be
shaved and everything else is going to be hairy.

Speaker 1 (32:56):
Surely, if it's professional tape, then that should be designed
to not whip your hair off, right, Like obviously there's
like gaffer tape and servant tape that does just wrap
your hair out. But I wonder if maybe it's been
I say this, and then you're gonna have like the
most painful experience on the other side, But maybe you

(33:17):
don't have to.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
So you're saying, just take the risk, put the tape on, and.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
Hope for the best, and then it'll be and then
take the tape off live on Feel Free ticks More
for eight seven. Should Many shave his leg around the
tape or is the tape designed to actually be really
nice on the skin?

Speaker 8 (33:39):
Love to hear your thoughts, Many and Many and PJ
the podcast Huge Weekend This week, I page.

Speaker 7 (33:52):
Time.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
My best friend is getting married.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
It's so exciting.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
This is a this is a woman I've known. We
were thirteen when we first meet. Amazing, and so we've
been through a lot together over the years, highs, lows, ups, downs,
big milestones, massive events, uh many many gin and tonics,

(34:18):
and now she's marrying the love of her life and
I'm so excited for her. But I am part of
her bridal party, the first ever bridal party I've ever
been a part of. Really, I've never been in a
bridal party before.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
That blows my mind. I feel like you would have
been on so many bridal party because I'm so popular.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
Yes, I know, but this is.

Speaker 6 (34:40):
So exciting.

Speaker 3 (34:42):
I know.

Speaker 2 (34:45):
What I wanted me to be.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
Obviously, it's so good because it's like you're winning, but
it's you don't have to have all the stress of
it being winning. Do you mean because you're so close
with it.

Speaker 2 (34:54):
Yes. The stressful thing though, is that I have to
do a speech at her at a reception, wedding reception.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
That is stressful, but it's not as stressful as the emcee.
There's a lot of pressure that rides on the EBB set.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
That is true. But I do feel like in a
bridal party, you do expect the best man or the
bridesmaid speech to be top notch and funny.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Yes, you've got to bring down the house. You've got
to get all emotions. I reckon. You want to have
people with tears, both happy and said, do you know
what I mean? You want to really reach it into
the emotions of.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
The crowd totally. And because we've known each other for
so long and people got for a long time, we
kind of came as a package deal, the two of us.
So I feel like people that know the two of
us will be sitting at the wedding and going, oh,
here we go, here we go, this is gonna be good.
And that pressure is really getting to me.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
Get it out of your head right now, because that
will destroy you.

Speaker 2 (35:53):
The issue is the good thing, I guess is that
I'm doing the speech with another really good friend of ours,
so we're doing it together now. She is very organized
and has written her half of the speech weeks ago,
and here we are literally days out from the wedding, and.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
Aren't we surprised.

Speaker 2 (36:14):
I've written one line, literally, one line the color all.
I first met Jackie Beck in the year two thousand.
Great start, mat great start.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
Okay, you need to put on like a soundtrack that
takes you back, that's true to win you guys spent
your core years together.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
Yep. I just am trying to find that line, though,
because we have seen the best and the worst of
each other, and we have so many stories to share.
I've got to find that line of what is acceptable
to tell and what is not acceptable to talent.

Speaker 1 (36:47):
You can take a turn.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
So I went to a twenty first once where my
friend's school friend got up and did a speech. They
no longer speak to each other. That is how badly
these things can go.

Speaker 1 (37:04):
I feel like you've got a pretty good moral compass,
You've got pretty good judgment, yes.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
But I'm also a show off.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
That's thrown you want the laughs?

Speaker 4 (37:14):
Laughs?

Speaker 1 (37:15):
Well, why don't we get examples of when the speech
went too far? So you can know what not to do.

Speaker 14 (37:24):
Maddy ANDPJ, Maddy and Pga the podcasts.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
Talking wedding speeches or any speeches. Actually, when did the
speech go too far? We need to hear the horror
stories to warn Maddie ahead of him actually doing a
best man's speech this weekend.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
No pressure, no pressure at all, although I'm reading these
stories going, oh my god, there is pressure. I don't
want to know ruin my relationship with my befriend.

Speaker 1 (37:54):
I think you've got taste. I think you know the line.
But you're right. You are a show pony and you'd
love to get the last I was.

Speaker 2 (38:02):
I would, and I've got some great stories to tell too.
But I think this is the thing I'm going to remember.
This is not a twenty first. Very different occasions, very
different occasions.

Speaker 1 (38:12):
Oh, hand of the hats. We've got some helpizz of
thatches to give away for your Wednesday night. Karen and
Auckland is joining us. Good a, Caaren, how are you?

Speaker 11 (38:20):
I'm good? Thanks?

Speaker 7 (38:20):
How are you very well?

Speaker 1 (38:22):
Okay? When did the speech go too far?

Speaker 11 (38:25):
So it was my nephew's twenty first. He's now in
his thirty so it's a really while ago. But he
had not long split up with his girlfriend of quite
a long time, and one of his mates got up
and got up on stage and went on and on
and on about how he shouldn't have let Lauren go.

(38:48):
She was the best thing that had ever happened to him,
and she had an incredibly large chest.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
Oh my god, it's worse.

Speaker 4 (38:58):
It got worse.

Speaker 7 (39:01):
It's probably a little bit of alcohol involved. Anyway, Lauren
heard about the speech at betweeny boost and when he
and my her and my nephew got back together, and
they're now together with two children. She won't have anything
to do with the friend that made her look stupid

(39:23):
that we talked about.

Speaker 11 (39:25):
Her at the twenty five.

Speaker 1 (39:27):
I made the speech obviously worked because.

Speaker 2 (39:32):
Was it the speech that kind of made him go Actually, well,
the speech pretty.

Speaker 11 (39:38):
Much consisted of the best thing about it was who.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
It's not great?

Speaker 2 (39:49):
Okay, that would be so awkward. Look, don't talk about
body parts, exit.

Speaker 1 (39:56):
Or ex serious, Sarah, when did the speech you.

Speaker 15 (40:01):
Go too far? Oh well, Matt your your not you
do know me? And it was all miss Scarlet who
did the speech at my weddings, right, so get this.
Scarlet started talking about a sleepover which we had at
her parents house at Vermin Russell's okay, And the story

(40:27):
goes that they were going at it like rabbits, Oh
my godness, and then Charlotte came for a sleepover from
my house and parents went at it for all of
ten seconds.

Speaker 4 (40:42):
More.

Speaker 15 (40:46):
This was a wedding speech and Matt, you'll know exactly who.

Speaker 2 (40:49):
I'm talking I know exactly who's talking about. And Sarah
we went to I'm just piece all the pieces together it.
Sarah and I went to high school. And all I'm
going to say, Sarah, is that kind of what you
give for giving Scarlet to do a speech at You'll well.

Speaker 15 (41:07):
So you can't. You can't stuff it out take a joke.

Speaker 2 (41:10):
That is true. Okay, good to know, Sarah. Thank you.
So I'm freaking everything's free game?

Speaker 15 (41:16):
I think so right? Yeah, I think it'll be. I
think it'll be pretty safe.

Speaker 2 (41:20):
Okay, good, thank you, Siah. Nice to ktch me up.

Speaker 1 (41:23):
So confused there, I was like, who's Sarah, who's Boon,
