Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Hits Drive with Medi and PJ. Thanks to chimis
Wee House the Real House of Fragrances. Hello and welcome
to the podcast. We're gonna keep this quick. We're going
to keep it brief, snappy and funny as well.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
All right, I mean, why start being funny now?

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Oh god, it's been a slog today. No, it's all right. No,
we were fine.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
We were good.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
We were good.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
You wouldn't have known, but you and I both at
one point during the stroke went god, we switched on.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
We don't just really felt like they were in slow
motion and it was like just warm up. Anyway, I'm
going on a camp of ventrap. I talk about this
in the podcast. We're going on Friday, and I was
so excited that I was going to see you on
Friday because I was going to be having the big spot.
I know, you've got a sang Geet.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
I've got the day off because I've got to do
my best friend from high schools getting married and the
the traditional weddings on Sunday, like the Western wedding, but
she's marrying a man with Indian heritage. So on Friday,
we're doing a sand Geeks, which is like a traditional
Indian wedding.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Ceremon I would just love to go to one of them.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Yeah, they put like put like yogurt and turmerican stuff
on the bride and groom. We have to do it.
We have to do a dance, like a choreograph dance.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
It's coming along, to be honest.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
It's I haven't practiced in a while.

Speaker 1 (01:31):
You will, you will, You'll be fine.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Yeah, my friends coming around tomorrow and we're having another
with her and I because we're the only Aucklanders. Everyone
else she lives out of town and the bridal party,
so her and I are having a little run through tomorrow,
So that'll give me a bit more confidence. But the
stupid thing is because there's five of us, so the
bride and then four in the bridal party, and so

(01:53):
we decided two lines, and I stupidly put myself in
the front row.

Speaker 1 (01:59):
That's okay, that's okay, that's okay. I actually have faith
in you. I know you're not you're ill prepared a
lot of the time, but you always pull through with
the goods.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Well, we'll see, we'll see, and.

Speaker 1 (02:12):
Just overcompensate with facials and like cute smiley faces and
you know, just distract them from the extual. That's very exciting.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
But yes, I won't get to see you this weekend.
By your husband actually messaged me to ask you.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
He said, been messaging you. Have you guys been planning anything?
You haven't? Have you behind my back?

Speaker 2 (02:34):
We would never do that, have you?

Speaker 1 (02:37):
He really wanted, He really wanted to be with you
and Ryan this Friday. He was so good that he
might fill in on the show on Friday. I'm yet
to run that. By what, I've got to keep the
eargo and check. Well after today you're hearing the show.

(02:57):
We absolutely did one over and it was a bit nasty,
So I might need to just soften the blow by
getting him on the air a bit.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
My concern with bj being on the air is that
most of the times that we've had him on we've
pre recorded him. Yeah, and that's been fine because we
can bleep, but we can cut.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Out notorious for dropping bomb. If he'll drop that, he'll.

Speaker 2 (03:23):
What do you do the sea bomb think of?

Speaker 1 (03:24):
Probably not so much the sea bomb, he's not really
a sea bomber, but yeah, just any of the worst profanities.
He probably would say, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:33):
At some point, well, good luck on Friday.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Producer Serrah, what do you reckon? Do we just get
him in like for the alpha course or something. I
think the alpha course would be the most stressful time
he would drop the if.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
Wrong one.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
We could have like a little bleep, like a live bleeper.
Life for your Hands will get a serious worker.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
My god, you would beat that would tress you out.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
But I've never BJ and I've a year, so I'm
excited to know. And Charlie's coming up to her. Oh
my god, I don't know how the four of us
hang out in the studio. We are the far best
friends and anyone anyway, Yes, that is all coming up
this week. I've also what else is coming up? No,

(04:22):
that's just boring life chat. You don't want to hear
about it.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
I love hearing about your life.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
No, I was gonna talk about my car service.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
I don't want to hear about that.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
Coming up in the podcast, we to talk about the
sign that has gone international at.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Sorry, I just remembered that we had a guest in
today and the guest is quite famous. He's coming up
on the show a little bit later on this week,
and his people were out in the booth and I
thought they were giving us some wrap up because they
did the universal symbol for like wrap it up, They like,
you know, swirled their finger in it.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Goes around in the circle like a list suit.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
So I was like, oh God, we're going to wrap
this chat up with this celebrity. And then it turns
out they were actually just telling us that they had
a double pass to give away anywhere in the country
to this person's show. And I was like, that's not
the symbol, not the thing.

Speaker 3 (05:15):
And then we.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
Thought at one moment that was saying like two minutes,
you've had two minutes, that's it.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Yeah, but actually it was two tickets. We were just
completely on the wrong on the wrong path these people.
But check coming up a little bit later on. But
yesterday's show, we did surprise BJ. As you mentioned, it
was funny.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
You got humbles and Matty's shout.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Well okay, well.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
I may not have heard the competitor say her name
is it, which may have given her an advantage.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
No, No, it was a fair game and it was
just it was. The result was was what it was.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
The result was what was oh and a divisive actually
though it wasn't really divisive, but there was a visceral
reaction with today's people's passionate. People were passionate, passionate. All
of that are more coming up on the podcast.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Airport has been making headlines, international headlines.

Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah, we love honestly, we love it. I feel when
New Zealand gets a mentionin overseas US this where we live.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
It's like this collective pride. We're like, oh my god,
we made a headline. It doesn't even matter what the
headline is. It's like we're making it into the new Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:40):
I don't know if this is what we thought we
would go viral for in New Zealand. It's a sign
at Dunedan Airport, of all places. The sign has made
global headlines after introducing a three minute time limit on hugs.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
When I heard that, initially, I was like, that's ridiculous,
But now I've realized it's in the drop off car
park zone. So they're really trying to encourage people to
not linger because we've all been guilty. We all try
and push that amount of time we've got and that
drop off zone, and so obviously they're trying to have
a bit of tongue in cheek about it and they say,
for fond of farewells, you can use the car park,

(07:22):
go and actually buy a ticket and not be cheap.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Zone.

Speaker 2 (07:26):
The thing about it, though, is that nuance is not
necessarily a lot of people specialties, and so they don't
necessarily see it as a tongue in cheek way of saying,
don't park for ages in the drop off zone. They
genuinely think it means don't hug for three minutes.

Speaker 1 (07:43):
Yeah. Well, that's literally where my mind was when I
heard about it, and I was like, actually, there's a
bloody long time, like you would have to be doing
maybe like a long distance relationship, and you weren't going
to see them for like, I don't know, a couple
of years to warrant hugging that long.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
I went off overseas for three weeks and wasn't going
to see my husband for three weeks, and I got
a very like rudimentary pat on the back when I left.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Minutes Hu, you would go over the three minute HUGO
the pat on the back?

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Yes, I got dad in that circle, like nineteen eighty
five pat on the back. You know that's what I get? Yeah?
See you see the mate ever go one? Yeah, see
anything back, enjoy the flight.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
How long is three minutes for a hug? You have
decided to put this to the test this afternoon. I
have no idea of the results. I have not witnessed
these hugs, but you have gone up to certain people
in the office who you would usually hug. You have
a lovely, beautiful relationship with.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
Absolutely these were all very consensual hug But I was
I was curious to put this to the test because
I'm a hugger. I love a good cuddle hugger.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
From way, we've got the results. Many attended to hug
for three minutes as coworkers.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Maddy ANDPJ. Mady and Pj. The podcast and.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
To Need an Airport is making international headlines. It's made
it to the New York Post, Times of India, the
UK's Independent, all talking about a sign which has been
erected at the airport's drop zone. You know, and you
just go drop your family member or your friend. It says,
max hug time three minutes for fond of Ferwells, please

(09:42):
use the car park and we're trying to have a
bit of fun.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
Yeah. When I first saw this, though, I thought, you
can't put a time limit on a hug. Can't You
can't dictate how long someone's allowed to say goodbye to
a loved one for.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
Exactly like we all love that scene and love actually reason.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
But then you and I got to thinking, three minutes
is actually a very long time. So how uncomfortable would
people get if you tried to give them a three
minute hug? Could you get away with a three three
minute hug?

Speaker 1 (10:17):
That he's been busy with his arms this afternoon? I
have not heard this audio. Year you went around and
had a few people that you'd usually hug in the office.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
Yes, I chose three people who wouldn't be out of
the ordinary for me to hug, but certainly probably have
never hugged them for three minutes, let alone, you know,
thirty seconds. So let's see how long I can get
away with a hug. Form.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
Hi, I.

Speaker 1 (10:43):
Have seen you.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
I know how you feel him? Yeah, Yeah, I'm really good.
I did manage to dodge it.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
Yeah, is it.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
How long? How long's too long?

Speaker 1 (10:59):
How long?

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Now I've got yours? Are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?
It doesn't feel uncomfortable anyway. I'm glad you're feeling better
and welcome back. Yeah, thank you? Son.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
She smelled good.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
Yes, So that was our colleague Ash who I Reckon.
I got about a forty second hugging.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
She got weird at about twenty five seconds, I because
she was like, okay, what are you to do?

Speaker 2 (11:26):
Twenty five seconds was definitely the point where she went
I think I need to pull away, but she keep going.
But it made our boss Harriet even more uncomfortable than
it made either of us. She was she said her
palms were switting just watching how long we were hugging?

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Sickond head.

Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah. The next one, I went into the ZM studio
and caught up with my good friend Clint and tried
hugging him. Hi, Hi, how are you? Oh yeah, what's
going on? It was Ryan, No, let me go? Why
why did it? So that was maybe ten seconds, and

(12:08):
I Reckon had about seven seconds. He was trying desperately
to pull away from me.

Speaker 1 (12:13):
I could hear like a pet like was that?

Speaker 2 (12:16):
I got the I got the eighties dad pet from him?

Speaker 1 (12:19):
I came back the return of the eighties dad pet.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
And finally I saw my friend clear who in Phoenix,
like I don't I don't know who that? Wow, we're
like newer friends. So how long can I had clear for?

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Hey?

Speaker 2 (12:36):
Hell, you nice to see you.

Speaker 3 (12:40):
How's it going?

Speaker 1 (12:42):
What's going on? My god? You know making dreams come true?

Speaker 3 (12:49):
Are you trying to get away from me? How long
is that?

Speaker 2 (12:58):
I reckon? I got maybe eighteen skins in, but she
was trying.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
To pull away, like because you may know her the least,
she might be more inclined to just go along for
the right. If you know someone well, they're like, what
are you doing?

Speaker 2 (13:10):
I know they call you out your stuff? Right? Yeah,
So I.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Think we can collectively ascertain three minutes is painfully long.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
If you were getting three minute hagging at the airport,
power to you, because I'm a hugger and I couldn't
even do that.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
Forty seconds was wed.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
May the podcast.

Speaker 1 (13:35):
I'm really excited about something that my family and I
are doing this week in MIDI. But I'm kind of equal.
But it's nervous because I am slightly concerned that we
may have lift things quite last minute. So I like you,
and there are things that we may not have accounted for.
We have decided it is a long weekend. This weekend

(14:00):
something we've always wanted to do, even before we had
Charlie go camp avanning around the Corimandel amazing. We've always said,
oh my god, we've just got to get a camp
all one time and go see our country like and
really just you know, fully soak it up.

Speaker 2 (14:17):
So Brian and I have done three camp avan trips
around our country. So you're you're season season pros mate.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
Okay, So a few Christians we're going this Friday. Do
we need to book anick.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
For a long weekend? Probably?

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Okay, okay, because we've got this at that's like all
about camp. It shows you all of the campsites around
the country and you can see where you can freedom camp.
And I noticed that there are a few spots between
teams and Corimandel that you can actually just freedom camp.
But you've just got to be gone by nine am.
Is that right?

Speaker 2 (14:56):
The different rules for different areas. Oh god, freedom camp,
I will say, kind of freaked us out.

Speaker 3 (15:02):
Why.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
I don't know. We just got really nervous that we
were going to be breaking the rules or something.

Speaker 1 (15:08):
So sometime so ying on freedom.

Speaker 2 (15:11):
Camp, we did it a couple of times, and we'd
like literally tune up in the dead of night and
then leave first thing in the morning because we're so
nervous that people that we were going to get in
trouble because we were doing the wrong thing.

Speaker 1 (15:21):
You've got to leave without a trace. You can't leave
obviously any other rules, any other rules that I should
be aware of.

Speaker 2 (15:28):
Well, no, but you've got to be careful because if
you're only freedom camping, like do you need to plug
in to charge, to do charging or anything for power?

Speaker 1 (15:39):
There's a good question. We've got like a self contained then.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Yeah, but you need to power it up and you
need to charge it up to power it.

Speaker 1 (15:47):
What do you mean, well, so like wait for all
the power inside it is?

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:55):
So how often do you need.

Speaker 2 (15:56):
To do Well? Probably don't mean many.

Speaker 1 (16:01):
This is why Ne did this chant.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
I don't know that. I don't know that you get
along weekend out without powering it up once at least once?

Speaker 1 (16:08):
Right, Okay, so along the way, when you're at a site,
that's when you go yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, sorry,
how many times a day would you usually do that?

Speaker 2 (16:19):
No? No, no, like once only once? Oh okay? Sweet, But
if you're freedom camping, if you're freedom camping, then there's
not the places to plug it in and charge.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Okay, okay, so maybe I should book some sites just
for safety. Have you the problem? Have you got that happens?

Speaker 2 (16:35):
Have you got your large vehicle license?

Speaker 1 (16:41):
What do you mean bj bj can drive a tractor?

Speaker 2 (16:45):
No, your large vehicle license. You've gotta go and set
a whole new teaste for it.

Speaker 1 (16:50):
Are you you're attacking the person I'm joking, Oh my god,
don't do that because I BJN driver. This is the
problem though, because in these situations I just put it
all on him, because he's quite like good at the logistics.
I'm like, sweet, any sort of hair cups we encounter,
I will deal with that.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
I'm so glad you've put so much thought.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
Into So we've got a hot water beach and maybe
for you, Have you got any other suggestions? This great
along the way? Feel free to just text and some
my DearS for eight seven and any other freedom campaign
camp in venters that you have, because I would love
to survive the long weekend, please and thank you many.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
In PJ the podcast Matty's Shout.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
That's Right, every Monday afternoon, we like to perch Natty's
tally knowledge to the test, because God, he loves to
flaunt it round the office, doesn't he.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Well, I do watch a lot of TV, but I
also just have a general understanding of TV shows. I
don't even have to have watched the show to kind
know about it.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
There's what I'm quickly leading because each week we try
and stump you with the category. We're like, no, he's
not gonna know this. And even if you haven't watched
the show, literally you'll pack up some tiny identifying feature
and you'll nail it. And so no one has actually
properly beaten you. I think we gave dinner away because
they may have got one question right, but no one

(18:22):
is properly beating you.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
So it's the best of three and the closest we
got was someone someone did get one of the three right.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
Okay, well, could Emma and white cuttle change that? Emma,
are you feeling confident?

Speaker 2 (18:38):
Good that we need? Here's the thing I would love
for you to win. I would love to shout you dinner. Truly,

Speedy Vier done.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Thank you. Dinner is on Maddy tonight and Maddy's Shark
will return next week. If You've got any ideas for
great TV categories. I'm starting to love this game now.

Speaker 2 (21:53):
I truly I thought I was unbeatable too. So she's
put a little spinner in the works there.

Speaker 1 (21:58):
May and PJ the podcast, And what a cruel Monday
afternoon it has been for my husband BJ. So look,
the other day he made a passing comment to me,
because occasionally I'll do the odd voice over for anything,
and he said, how hard can it be? Like, it can't.

(22:19):
It's not fear that you just have to be a
radio person, Like can a regular person just voice and air?
And I said, yeah, I think so, Like I don't
think they discriminate. You just have to have a good voice.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
And then you came into work and told me the story,
and between the two of us, we thought, well, here's
a perfect opportunity to bring your husband back down to
worth a little bit, because he was getting very big
for his boots, thinking he was this amazing radio like guru,
this icon.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
So I actually planted the seage over the weekend. I
told him that I had reached out to my voice
agent just asking putting the feelers out for whether they'd
want a down to earth farmer voice. He is expecting
a phone call this afternoon. We have wrangled one of
our colleagues from the office to give BJ a call

(23:13):
informing him that there is some interest for him as
a commercial voiceover.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
Oh hello, Hi, is this Brendan.

Speaker 2 (23:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
Hi, my name's Maddie and I work for Being Talent Agency.
We recently worked with Polly on a voiceover campaign. She
mentioned that you might be interested in kind of exploring
some work in that space. Oh yeah, yeah, she did,
And like, we're always looking to expound our books. But
obviously we don't want to have just people sitting there
if it's not the right fit, So we don't really
want to waste anyone's time. But we have had a

(23:44):
couple of briefs come in recently from companies that are
looking for a more kind of masculine energy for their ads.
So would that be something you're kind of interested in doing?

Speaker 2 (23:54):
Oh? Yeah, hey, I wouldn't be sure to give it
a go?

Speaker 1 (23:57):
Yeah you wouldn't.

Speaker 4 (23:57):
Awesome, that's amazing. Why do you think that you'd be
like a good fit for this kind of work? Are
you keen as and just get ready to give it
a go?

Speaker 2 (24:04):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (24:04):
Yep, amazing. And have you done anything like this before?

Speaker 3 (24:07):
No?

Speaker 1 (24:08):
Never, no, never.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
Okay, So because of that, I'd love to look at
getting you in for kind of like a proper voice test.
But I wondered if kind of for now, we'd be
able to get you to repeat a couple of lines
down the phone to just kind of get a feel
for what we're working with.

Speaker 3 (24:21):
Okay, yeah, all right, sweet?

Speaker 2 (24:23):
So for the first do you want, I'm on speaker
phone right now? Would it be better if it's closer
to my ear or no?

Speaker 4 (24:29):
I reckon speak phones?

Speaker 2 (24:30):
Fine?

Speaker 4 (24:30):
I can hear you all?

Speaker 5 (24:31):
Good?

Speaker 3 (24:32):
Okay, sweet days?

Speaker 4 (24:33):
All right, sweet? So how about we just start with
like spaces prior.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
To the South.

Speaker 4 (24:38):
Okay, you count down or just you just go for
it whenever you're ready.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
Spats prior to the South.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
Awesome.

Speaker 5 (24:44):

Speaker 4 (24:46):

Speaker 2 (24:49):
Bolder, bigger better, bolder.

Speaker 4 (24:52):
Great, you're doing so well.

Speaker 3 (24:53):
That's really good.

Speaker 4 (24:55):
Maybe, just like you know, we'll go for another one.
Maybe we can slow it down a bit, because I
think sometimes with voice work can go really fast, but
slow is always good. Maybe next one is made by men.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
For men, made by men. Up, Sorry, no, no, no,
you're all good.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Give it another go.

that up a bit and get a bit more like
umph and tour?

Yeah?

Speaker 2 (25:23):
Made by men for men? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (25:25):

spaces part of the South again.

this is a new venture for me? I was like
watching up.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
I don't want to alarm anyone, but Christmas is coming
like a freight train. We're nearly in November.

Speaker 2 (32:16):
I mean, I'm excited about it, but it also there
is a slight stress.

Speaker 1 (32:21):
You like the festive party, you just don't like me
to run around getting prison.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
I don't like going to mall.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
There's a lot of admin. Are you often the chef
when it comes to Christmas Day?

Speaker 2 (32:32):
I do enjoy cooking, and I've hosted a couple of
times Christmas and cooked before. But often if we're home
Mum as Mum kind of rules the roost in our kitchen.

Speaker 1 (32:46):
What's her go to?

Speaker 2 (32:47):
Does she do?

Speaker 1 (32:47):
Like a turkey or a lamb? Your PM?

Speaker 2 (32:50):
But a salmon sometimes wipe back fritage sometimes.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
Who can we get the invite?

Speaker 2 (32:55):
Ever? One Christmas, come on down, coming down to Queen Sam.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
For the first time. Christmas Cracker, Not this time, but
maybe another time. I saw a story coming up from
across the ditch about an Aussie band he's gone viral
for the choice of gift that he has started a
tradition each year where he gets this for his family
and friends. To be honest, I actually thought this is like,

(33:22):
I mean, maybe it's because I'm married to a farmer
that this isn't beyond belief or the strangest thing to receive.
But he started the tradition of taking a full trailer
of meat around to his family for Christmas time. So
this stopped up for the whole year. Amazing, isn't that
brilliant idea? But everyone is like in disbelief online saying, wow,

(33:47):
this is certainly unique. Surely it's not recommended to freeze
it for as long as a year. How big is
your freezer and how long are you meant to freeze
meat for? I mean logistics side. I think he has
said that he doesn't want to get his family or
his friends things they don't want. He wanted to get
them something that they needed for the year. I think
it's brilliant. Plus when I see this is a fantastic tradition.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
Yeah, we're not talking a little freezer that's in like
a regular residential house kitchen. You have to be a
cheer you can put meat in their ages, right.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
Oh my god. So whenever bej my husband would come
down and visit my family and christ he would always
feel like if he was coming to stay at our house,
he had to bring meat, and so he would take
it on the on the fly, like he was carrying on, yeah,
carry on. And then one time he took it out

(34:42):
from the overkid luggage like stole whapper and there was
blood flog. It was like, Beach, you can't just do
that because he just put it in a bit that
he found. Was like, Beach, that's a hygienic ry.

Speaker 3 (34:56):
Do that.

Speaker 1 (34:57):
So he has.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
Really up to safety and like someone's sitting an eight
B going why is the blood dripping on me?

Speaker 1 (35:06):
For the I mean, I don't know where else you
push it, but I think he could have rounded it up.
But give me thinking of those unorthodox gifts that you've received,
and I thought we could have a bit of a
game that we play this afternoon. So you tell us
the gift and then Maddy and I try and work
out what the occasion was. Maybe it was from an auntie,
maybe it was a colleague, but the gift didn't quite hit.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
The mark or didn't quite match the occasion maybe either,
you know.

Speaker 1 (35:34):
Yeah, oh eight one hundred the hats to join the show.
We've got some help pizza art just to give away,
or you can't text us for for a ship.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
Mady, NPJ, Mady and PJ the podcast The Heads.

Speaker 1 (35:48):
We're talking unorthodox presents. When did you receive a gift
that was a bit interesting. Maybe it was because of
the occasion it was like, oh, this doesn't quite match,
or maybe it was the relationship, Yeah, with the person,
it was kind of this is interesting, right.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
I do remember a family friend got his wife a
rubbish bin like a WHEELI for Christmas one year.

Speaker 1 (36:13):
I feel like Chris comment and I think, do you
know what? I feel like I've done this topic maybe
years ago, and there were so many people that did
receive cleaning products from the hospital or the partner, and
they like, I think they come from a good plant.

Speaker 2 (36:27):
No, but read the room.

Speaker 1 (36:30):
Read the room, and it is joining us on one
hundred hats handy Monday and nit, how are you okay here?

Speaker 2 (36:38):
All right?

Speaker 1 (36:39):
So what was the gift that you received?

Speaker 2 (36:42):
A ten dollar note?

Speaker 1 (36:47):
Okay, that feels like a secret center or something.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
It sounds like the tooth theory to me.

Speaker 3 (36:54):
What was it?

Speaker 1 (36:55):
A news? It was my uncle gave me ten dollars
for my for your wedding present. Well, hang on, what
year was the wedding? Because we've got to count and
inflation and stuff. Back in the day, that was probably
the going.

Speaker 2 (37:10):
Right, inflation hasn't gone out that much. Four is still
would have.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
Been pretty still.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
I thought I thought it was a joke.

Speaker 1 (37:24):
He wasn't. No, no, he wasn't joking.

Speaker 2 (37:27):
But I don't did you put that on the was
that on the registry or anything? And did you put
that on the list?

Speaker 1 (37:32):
No? No, no, no, we don't have a list. But
just what was like, yeah, fair enough? Oh my god, Media,
I just realized I've still got to do my thank
you cards. I'm going to blend them into a Christmas
thank you wedding card that is going to be the
best Christmas message that you've ever received.

Speaker 2 (37:54):
I think I've heard you say that about ten times
on the show.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
I keep putting it on my Sunday like jobs Lost,
and I'm like, no, it's gonna hap this Sunday, And
I think, and I'll get through like two or three more,
and then I get distractors.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
Produce the Sere is very organized. Do you need producer
Sere to message you on a Sunday and say, now, PJ,
have you done? You think you can't?

Speaker 1 (38:15):
You're gonna say, do you want to produce a seer
to write?

Speaker 2 (38:20):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (38:21):
I wasn't even invited to the wedding, but I'd love
to write the thank you card.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
Whatever.

Speaker 3 (38:32):
Maddy and PJ. Maddy and PJ, the podcast, The Heads,
the People's Poll, the.

Speaker 2 (38:39):
People's Poll, everybody comes together, it's the People's Poll.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
Every day on the show we do People's Poll and
we also put that People's Poll up on our Instagram page.
The Heads Drive with Matti and PJ go away in
on our story right now, so then we can get
an even more thorough accurate representation of what country is thinking.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
Yeah, we do hard, hard research to analysis. We really
crunched the numbers on the show. But this weekend, this
week's People's Poll was inspired by something that happened over
the weekend. I was away with some friends up in Northland.
I was in Fagle.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
Oh I saw that whining and dining. What did I say,
you make some random friends?

Speaker 2 (39:24):
Yes, I did. Actually, I'll tell you a little bit
more about that, Nickstow. But I was away with some
friends and my friend Harry wanted to go for a
run and in the morning after we'd had dinner and
stuff on the sad day night, and he got up
in the morning and then he went, Oh, I left
my headphones. Do I have my headphones with me, and

(39:46):
I said to him, do you wanna Do you want
to borrow mine? Because I know what it's like to
go running without music. I love running with music or
a podcast. I like having something in my ears when
I go running, so I understand the frustration of having
any with you. So I said, would you like to
borrow mine? And he went no, I'm okay. And then

(40:08):
I stopped and thought about it, and I thought, actually,
it's probably fair enough because they're my EarPods and they
are disgusting, because you know, everyone's fair, everyone's in the
headphones are disgusting.

Speaker 1 (40:23):
Don't judge me for that, But in that situation, I
think I would rather play music loud on my phone,
oh to borrow someone else's head I have absolutely been
that person running in the park who's just blasting a
bit of rudimental on full bore. I mean I only
have been someone for a minute. I mean for a

(40:44):
second as you're running past. And does it really matter.
It's obnoxious, it's embarrassing. It's more embarrassing than obnoxious, I think.

Speaker 2 (40:56):
But also it's you're right, because what is even more
embarrassing than that is a friend opening up your ear
pods case and going you are disgusting.

Speaker 1 (41:06):
Yeah, those things need to clean, and they need to
clean frequently.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
So it got me thinking, is that actually an acceptable
thing to even offer a friend headphones? Your headphones to you?

Speaker 3 (41:20):
Mary and PJ Mady and PJ.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
The podcast, the People's Poll, the People's Pole, everybody comes together.

Speaker 1 (41:28):
It's the people's stronger reaction than I anticipated, I'll be honest.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
Yeah, I was away with friends over the weekend and
one of them wanted to go running and forgotten his headphones.
So I said, well, you can borrow my EarPods if
you want, and he was like, I'm good, thank you,
And then I had that realization, Oh yeah, it probably
is quite a gross thing to offer, but I was
just trying to be I was just trying to be
helpful and friendly.

Speaker 1 (41:52):
You know, we had the embathne you don't like running
with no sounds, and you got it. But yeah, when
you actually have a good, hard thing about what is
inside those heir pods, it is rank.

Speaker 2 (42:03):
I mean, I don't look to like to look at
my own epods case, let alone having someone else look
in my POD's case.

Speaker 1 (42:09):
Boss City takes his ear pods into the mall to
get cleaned. Was that personal information?

Speaker 2 (42:15):
No, I think it's fine. I think there's a good
I think there's a good PSA. I mean to be fair,
everyone needs them clean, and often you go where do
I get it clean?

Speaker 1 (42:24):
While do you go those little kaosks, those little phone kaosks,
and the more you're welcome.

Speaker 2 (42:28):
All right.

Speaker 1 (42:29):
So the question was is okay to share these air
pods like the ones as you go in your ear
is it okay? Or note that is discusting? Takes four
four eight seven way in on our Instagram pole on
the hits drive.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
Ooh, matty no way over ears fine, but in the
it beyond yuck. Someone said.

Speaker 1 (42:50):
Pauline said, I've let mum borrow mine while she's in hospital.
Trust me, they are going in the bed and I
will buy myself new ones.

Speaker 2 (43:00):
I wouldn't share my EarPods, but I do find keeping
my ears clean, keep my EarPods clean. Long that's a
dog at you.

Speaker 1 (43:07):
I think it's totally Someone said, no guy for sharing earphones?
Hit no yack, yack, yack yack explosion map, no yack.
You can't share headphones. So look, that is pretty much
the general sentiments coming through what about on our actual
Instagram pole, what is the percentage saying it is?

Speaker 2 (43:26):
Sixty eight percent say no, way yeah, thirty two say
yeah why not.

Speaker 1 (43:34):
It's still quite a large portion that are actually that
are actually sharing them, So don't feel like you're that disgusting.
There's still quite a large true fast.

Speaker 2 (43:42):
I mean, I didn't do it. It was just my
initial offer, but now I know, now I know.
