Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Hats Drive with Media and Paja thanks to Chemist
ware House, the Real House of Fragrances and on that
we're on. Hello and welcome back to the podcast. We're
not just one, but two of us are present, actually
three because produce a serious sitting in the background.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Correct, Yes, hello, team back and it's been a big,
big show, big day.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
It's been a big day. You'll hear in the podcast.
Some news. It's been sitting on my chest for the
last few months. Then I finally got to an ounce.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
I went back through our messages because I got a
very very awkward text from you on Friday, the second
of August at two twenty four. I'd gone for a
little walk to get a coffee before the show.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
And you text me so I hate those, don't And you.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
Said I need to talk to you, but trying to
work out when it is an appropriate time and I
I'm outside right now getting coffee, want to call And
then you called me immediately. What date was that, the
second of August?

Speaker 1 (01:07):
The second of August?

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Yeah, okay, And immediately I said, you've got some news.
I just knew it, did you know?

Speaker 1 (01:17):
Straight?

Speaker 2 (01:18):
It was pretty much as pretty much as soon as
I got that text, I was like, oh, here we.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Go, Here we go. I could have just told you
for the first time today, which is but I could it.
I actually couldn't, which.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Is what a lot of like a lot of radio shows,
that's absolutely how they would have done.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
They were they wait for their stay and be like, right,
let's get the real r for many, but the reality
is you'd be like, fuck, what's gonna happen?

Speaker 2 (01:44):
No, no, there was.

Speaker 1 (01:46):
So we've been able to make plans behind the scenes.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
And I've been I was immediately just you're so happy
for you guys.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Oh no, you've been such a anyway, all will make
sense when you hear the podcast.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
You just can't keep a secret, Ay.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
I cannot. I don't. I don't like it.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
I can.

Speaker 1 (02:05):
I can keep other people's secrets.

Speaker 2 (02:07):
I'm the same. I'm the same, although I will admit
when I was in my twenties I was a terrible
secret keeper.

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
I like to think I can, but then there is
that kind of rule, that unwridden rule that you always
tell your partner.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Right one hundred percent. I think I pretty much immediately.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
Missus right of course, run of course, And then I
wanted to like talk to right about it, and I
was like, oh, we haven't had like this rich conversation.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
I do remember him saying to me after like a
few days, he was like, am I allowed to say that?

Speaker 1 (02:41):
I was like yeah, and you're like, yeah, I think
I can't remember when he put it up. But anyway,
what else to catch up?

Speaker 2 (02:51):
How was it? Do you know what? We haven't even
we have been talking about our weekends, and not even
on the show, and not even outside of the show.
It's been so busy with other stuff.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
I know we spent a lot going on.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
And how was the camp of Ventrap?

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yeah, it was a mad Charlie to catch a little
bug on the way. I don't know if it's because
he went to the beach and got really cold. Anyway,
then one night he's spewed all.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Through the game and it was just a borrowed camper.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
Yeah, but we hosed it down. But fuck, it's one
way that stressed you up. But anyway, it was fine.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
That cool though, that cool cam.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Oh, this is so cool. It made me want to minimalize, Like,
it made me want to just heavily stuff. This is yeah,
Like and I was like, I've got too much stuff
and then I'm like, actually, what would I have cut down?
But it just makes you be like you just want
to have less and least and less stuff. And then
you realize, why do I have someone clutter in my hand?

Speaker 2 (03:43):
And imagine just being able to pack, Like you can
see why people do it, especially in the retirement age, right,
Like just the ability to pack up and drive just
to a new place, see different parts of the world,
different parts of the country. It's such ease.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
Yes, although sometimes you'd be like, oh, I just want
to pop down, you know, you might want to pop
somewhere in the camp had to go somewhere, and then
you're like, actually, the whole family has to go.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
The U can't also not just like oh there's a
quick little like park park that I can pull into.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
The whole sort of requires a bit more planning. But
I think after a few days we've got the hang
of it and we sort of got in our swing
of things and.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
Did you freedom.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
No, we actually just ended up going to campgrounds, but
I wish we did. But like I also was like, oh,
let's just lock these in to make sure we have them.
And then where we stayed in Hahey was stunning, So
we had two nights here. It's an amazing campground, like
they've got. First of all, it's just really beautiful, like
there's lots of native bush around it. In some campgrounds

(04:45):
could be this was beautiful and it was like literally
right by the ocean beautiful. And then they've got like
a cool eatery where there's like pizzas and burgers in
a bar in the center of the plan of the
actual campground like really cool, like yum, and a playground
and it was just really really well set up and
like please. I was like, oh, they told us we're

(05:09):
the evolution blockers, and I was like, what do you
mean the ablution.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
And then he was like, oh, that the evolution block.

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah, the evolution block the cap what is the evolution?
Where can we evolve more? And tell me more about
But they were really nice as well, like they were
nice wooden style toilets can be real rank. So yeah,
definitely recommend going there. And then the only thing is

(05:40):
I just wish we gave our sales more time when
we got back on the road.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Yeah, that Auckland traffic, she'll get.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
You, she'll get you anyway. Coming up on the podcast,
we talk about when you were lost in translation after
a conversation I overheard at a cafe and Battle of
the Hits where a twist comes back.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Plus I had a very proud moment of the weekend,
and we wanted to know when did you save the day?

Speaker 1 (06:04):
All of that and more on this podcast.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
Enjoy many in the podcast now.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
It's usually about this time on the show where I
would come to the table with something awkward that happened
to me at the petrol station or the cafe and
be like, guys, what should I do in this situation?

Speaker 2 (06:24):
You're often in the wrong. I will say that, so
are you.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
I'll have you know.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Oh yeah, but I feel like I'm just learning my
awkwardness from you. I've been hanging around with you for
too long.

Speaker 1 (06:34):
Well, today, there's actually some news that I would like
to share of a more sentimental nature. Okay, that's not
so frivolous or trivial. And I guess on the show,
I'm quite transparent and honest, and I always talk about

(06:57):
what's going on in my life. God, I'm getting sweaty,
which is why I need to come clean about something.
I have not been entirely honest with people who listen
to the show for the last four months. There is

(07:20):
something I have been hiding, and some people may have
actually caught onto it. Perhaps you've noticed that I've been
a little extra forgetful, a little extra ditsy, maybe tired,
maybe slurring my words talking about food more.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
I thought there was fatigue, thought there was just you
in general, wasn't it.

Speaker 5 (07:43):
I don't know how to do this in a really
professional way, but I have been hiding the fact that
my husband Bejo and I originally expecting our second child.

Speaker 1 (07:59):
And April Maddy was the first person, well one of
theig first person people that I turned to. I couldn't
come to work and not tell you, medi, So thank
you so much for holding this very special news close
to your heart. At least I think you have been.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Oh no, I've been. I know I've been the best
secret keeper the BEA.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
I know you're pretty, You're you can be a little
loose lipped when you've got some big news.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yes, but I'm only loose lipped with my own news.
I can't sit on a secret that I that I
have about myself, but other people's news not mine to tell.
So I'm so thrilled that you're able to share this now.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
Oh my god, I can't keep secrets. I hate it.
It's one of the biggest gripes that I have with
the whole pregnancy journey is that you are supposed to
keep this this new secret, you know, for a period
of time when you actually going through the hardest time
and you feel so isolated. So it's so nice to
have it properly, aren't there. I will be taking a

(09:02):
little bit of time away from the show, but I'll
be back in good time, and we've got a very
exciting announcement regarding that coming soon on the show.

Speaker 2 (09:10):
Absolutely, but you're with us until next year one per I'm.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
With you through and through a baby till April. I
will be here. But I just wanted to say thank
you to you, middie, because we've only just started the
show this kar and I do feel like, you know,
in some way, I have left you on the lurch,
and ideally I would have maybe we would have held off,
you know, for a few more months. That would have
been our ideal time. But I think when it comes
to the juggle of career and having babies is actually

(09:38):
it's so hard to nail the perfect time. And I
could say that that would have been a few months,
but you never know how it's going to go, and
you could be trying for a certain amount of time,
so you never want to run that risk. So I
guess we got to a point where we're like, right,
let's just throw it out to the university. How we
go and.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Went, bam, thank you, ma'am. Can I be so bold
to say that?

Speaker 1 (10:03):
And now one will be coming to in April. So look,
I just I know we're so honest with the people
who listen to the show, and we shared highs in
the lows, and this is a high which I'm really
excited about. And yeah, for our little close knit family
of three to become for in April.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
We are so so thrilled for you. And there's nothing
to feel guilty or bad about it at all. Parenthood
is a beautiful blessing and a gift, and it's not
a gift that is afforded to everyone Peage, So you
take that and you run with it, and you are.
I've been able to see how amazing you are as

(10:40):
a mum to Charlie, and I know how much you
have loved creating this family with Beage, and so I'm
so excited for you to extend on that family.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Well, it's scary. I know, there's so many challenges ahead.
I'll be honest, there's so much unknown ahead. But I'm
what parenthood has taught me so far is that you
grow and you learn, and there is the highest of
highs and the lost of lows, and I just welcome
all of that that's coming. So yeah, business is usual
to April. But in the meantime, if you're wondering why

(11:10):
I've been a weirdo for the last one nights, the
cat is finally out of the back congratulations page.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
Many in the podcast.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Very sweet messages coming out from people about your news
PJ talking about how excited they are for you.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Why do I kiss? I'm not going to take in
compliments and even when people are nice to me, I'm
not good at ever. Thank you so much for other texts.
Have you missed the news? Just in case I won't.
I won't go over on ground too much, I promise,
But if you just missed the news, I just announced
that we're expecting our second child, but we are.

Speaker 2 (11:53):
You know, it's funny you mentioned that that that awkwardness
because I feel like for you and I we are
so quick on the show to be very open about
the misses, the mistakes, the fails, the flaws that you
and I both have.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
Well, it may as well just be called medi and
Pj's fails from three to seven every.

Speaker 2 (12:12):
Day, and they come and thick and they coming fast. Yeah,
but I thought to myself actually as well as that
we really do need to stop and celebrate the successes
as well.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
Because boy, when you have as many misses as we do,
when the winds come through, you've got to make the
most of it.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
I've had two in the last couple of days.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
That makes this another one coming, because all good things
come in threes.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
Yes, but I'm going to preempt this by saying they
are low level. But I guess when your life is
full of mostly fails, the successes are not necessarily going
to be huge, you know, But I still think they're
worth celebrating. So the first thing is.

Speaker 6 (12:59):
God.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
So I feel so stupid about sharing this with you now,
but I was very proud of myself because we're on
gas heating and our and our house and the gas
went out and like the hot water stopped, and I
realized that the gas bottle would obviously run out and
so you know me. We talked about it on the show.
I'm not an outdoors job kind of a guy.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
No, No, you're keep the waters, keep the plants alive. Actually,
you don't even.

Speaker 2 (13:28):
Terrible were there?

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Okay? Do the dashes cook the meal? You'll make the beer?

Speaker 2 (13:32):
Absolutely yes. But I had to go out and change
over the gas bottles and I managed to successfully change
the gas bottle so that we had hot water in
our house. And I just walked in and I thought,
I am so proud of myself able to change over
a gas bottle. Is that is that a something we're celebrating?

Speaker 1 (13:55):
So was that the what was the next part of
the story? Now that's it.

Speaker 2 (13:59):
I changed the guest bottle.

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Can someone get some hero music music on stand by?

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Okay, I've got another one though, And this happened at
the wedding over the weekend because my best friend got
married and.

Speaker 7 (14:13):
I was.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
You, she was late, but she got there in the end.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
No, but this one's even better because I was at
my best friend's wedding over the weekend and I was
in the bridal party and up at the front of
the ceremony. Obviously, the bride stood with all of her
bridal party to one side, and the grooms stood with
all the bridal his bridal party to the other side.
There were two plints right next to the bride and

(14:40):
glue groom with like a big bouquet of flowers in
a vase.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
Right.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
It was quite windy at the wedding, and part way
through the ceremony, I just in my in my peripheral vision,
I saw the plint start to spill and the vase
with the flowers was about to drop, and it would
have broken, It would have smashed everywhere. Right, Not famous,

(15:07):
I would say for my quick reflexes, but my god,
I was like a bloody cat. My hand shot out,
my league shot out. I managed to stop the plinth
and the flowers and the vase from spilling, and I
managed to get it back up right again.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
There it has good times, Sreah. That was good And
did anyone sort of acknowledge your moment at the time?

Speaker 2 (15:36):
So I hated to steal the thunder from my friend
the bride, but I have to say it was all
anyone could talk about at the wedding. Everyone's kept coming
up to me being like I saw you with the
I saw you with the flowers. I saw your reflexes,
and even one of my friends said she noticed it.
And then the next thing she immediately noticed was me
searching in the crowd for Ryan for kind of like

(15:57):
acknowledgment for my husband. And validais that had seen my
quick reflexes.

Speaker 1 (16:02):
Okay, oh eight hundred the hats you. You needed to
be celebrated today, Maddie. You saved the day. Maybe there's
a moment that hasn't been celebrated where you saved the day.
You were the hero. Give us a call right now.

Speaker 4 (16:15):
Many and PJ the podcast.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Talking your hero moments? When did you save the day?
Oh eight hundred the hats Maddie, Do you want to
just quickly recap your story.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
I was at the wedding and there was a plinth
with a vase of flowers on it, and there was
a big gust of wind came and knocked it over.
But my cat like reflexes, My foot went out, my
hand went out, and I saved the day. And everyone
at the winning was talking about it.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
Everyone Menissa, Oh, Andrew the Hurts. Can you beat that story?

Speaker 7 (16:45):
I really can't beat his story, But I think I
was a bit of a hero to.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
Tell, Okay, go on what happened?

Speaker 8 (16:52):
So, and there was a lady who.

Speaker 9 (16:55):
She was sort of too in front of me, and
she didn't have enough to pay for all of her growth,
so she was trying to work.

Speaker 7 (17:02):
Out what to put back, and the man in between
us was.

Speaker 9 (17:05):
Just like rolling his eyes and being all impatient and
just being so rude.

Speaker 7 (17:10):
And so I just reached over and said to us,
I'll fix that. That just take it all. It was
only like twenty three dollars worth, like there was a
but it was a hit. I think I was a
hero to her.

Speaker 8 (17:21):
She was so thankful and he was just being awful.
He was a horrible perdiment.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
Oh zolutely many.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
I think they're trump to see your moment, be honest,
do you know what? That may not see much for you,
but they would have absolutely made that woman.

Speaker 2 (17:37):
Yeah, well done, Vanisa.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
You're allowed to kiss weet house. We've got to Kim
in our house. Prize coming away, it's got to Steve
and the hats good day, Steve. What was your hero moment?

Speaker 2 (17:48):
So?

Speaker 10 (17:49):
Last night and got a friendic phone call from a
friend who's seventy and she takes she's got full time
custody of her two grandchildren. She was out country and
had a home. Cool beast killed the home. Cool beast
was massive and well beyond her and her also very

(18:11):
elderly friends capabilities of getting into the chill. Sorry, I'm
sexpot four and I'm pretty unreasonably physically, But she gave
me a call to give them a help to hoist
the beast into the chiller for them.

Speaker 1 (18:25):
Oh, stay to the risk, see to the rescue.

Speaker 2 (18:31):
Steve, you needed you needed someone with a camera there
to take a photo of that, because that is that's
Facebook worthy, that a big beast over the shoulders hoisting
it into the good I love it. Well done, Steve.
Yeah all right, mina low level now.

Speaker 1 (18:47):
Hey, no, you stopped a barce from breaking.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
Someone did take them and said, I caught a candle
before it could fall over onto a friend at a restaurant.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
I get it, Delia, I get it, Debra. Oh I
under the herds. Yeah, very well, what was your hero moment?

Speaker 9 (19:06):
Well, in February, my side two younger brothers and one
of them was getting married. The other one has special needs,
and so I sume Kit didn't have the ring, and
I leaned over to sort of my parents next me,
and I said, oh, you know, who does you know?
Do you guys have the wedding ring? And then my
sister goes they're in the car, and so I basically

(19:26):
yell across the church to the people who were standing
at the back of the church to stop the bride.
You know a card, you know, I said, go get
the rings, and basically they stopped out of the car,
quickly got the rings, brought them up to the front,
and then pretend. Then we obviously kind of pretended nothing

(19:48):
had happened, and we gave the okay so her to
exit the car to walk down the aisle.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Brilliant, yeah, brilliant. You're a hero, a hero, a different
You saved the day.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
I could, playing out in a rom coma absolutely stop everybody,
the bride cannot walk down the aisle.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Although usually stopping the wedding dramatically that that is not
a good thing. But in this instance, Debra, you're a hero,
an absolute.

Speaker 4 (20:12):
Hero, I thought. Maddy and PJ. Mady and PJ the
podcast The Heads.

Speaker 1 (20:23):
Battle of the Heads, Okay, Battle of the Hats happens
once a week on the show. Some would say it
is the most heated part of the week where things
can get any competitive, although I'd say we've been pretty
gracious winners over the last gracious losers. Over the last
few weeks.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
We've gotten much better, I think because there were a
couple of tenths moments earlier on in the year.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
Especially when we come to the table with a song
that we genuinely love, Yeah, and we don't win with it.
That hurts. But the concept of the game is that
usually it's an artist that we will be presented, where
the medi and I have to come to the table
with what we believe is the hardest, best song.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
But I thought we'd mix things up a little bit
today because you gave us a pretty big announcement at
the start of the show. You were expecting your second
child with your husband BJ. Congratulations, Thank you. So I
thought we should do Battle of the Hits baby edition today,
and I thought this is a.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
Great idea of it. Now I'm like, I don't I've
come to the table with the best song that I reckon.
I've got a banger. I have got a banger line up.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
So we had to pick a song that had the
word baby or babe or you know, some variation of
that in the title.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
Of the song, correct, Okay, do you want to go first?

Speaker 2 (21:43):
I can go first.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Okay, you go first.

Speaker 2 (21:45):
I am taking you back to nineteen ninety nine, a
song released by an Australian duo that was packed with
irresistible cess style and killer beats that helped define the
era's club music scene. The combination of a funky, bass

(22:07):
heavy beat with the confidently delivered lyrics made it an
instant hit. It hit number one in a number of countries,
went platinum in Australia and is still an absolute banger
to this day. My song for Battle of the Hits
Baby edition is Madisine Avenues Don't.

Speaker 4 (22:28):
Call Me Baby.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
Do you know what? I didn't know if they were Australian.
I always thought that was out of the U.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
So did I sore an Australian duo. I thought it was.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
Gonna be Savage Garden song for a second, and then
I was like, don't call me baby. Oh my god, Okay,
so that's Meddies Don't call me baby, Medicine Avenue. If
you'd like to vote for many right now, call him
on eight hundred the Hits and vote for Team Matty.
I want to go back to the year of nineteen ninety.
August twenty second was the day that this song was released.

(23:09):
It samples the baseline of the epic track under Pressure
by Queen and David Bowie. It is the debut single
by American rapper Mamilla Ice, Kay Kennedy and DJ Earthquake.
It would be rude not to bring to the table
for the Best Baby Song Battle of the Hits, Ice

(23:31):
Ice Baby, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (23:42):
It feels like comedio.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
No back in page.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
Okay, So how this works is best of three oh
eight hundred of the hats. Do you want to vote
Team Matty or Team PJ?

Speaker 4 (23:56):
This week?

Speaker 1 (23:57):
The winner we will play out and it's an tirety
in two songs, Maddy and PJ.

Speaker 4 (24:05):
Maddy and PJ. The podcast The Heads Battles of the Heads.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
All right, Producer Siah, can we have an overall score
tally please? Yep.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
We're currently sitting at PJ on fifteen points and Maddie

So, Sarah, she had some interesting news with me on
Friday when you're away, Mettie, do you remember coming to
the table to help her out for a certain situation
over the last couple of months?

Speaker 2 (27:14):
Helping her out with a certain.

Speaker 3 (27:16):
Situation obviously meant nothing to him. He doesn't even remember.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
It's just I help you out in so many ways.
So one specific thing I've helped you out with, God,
I can't think of.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
Do you remember when she came to you and asked
you to be a special reference for a tendency application.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
So I do remember that?

Speaker 1 (27:40):
Yeah? And did you get a call up? And did
you put on the good word?

Speaker 2 (27:43):
I'd never got a call.

Speaker 1 (27:45):
Right, Okay, well, Siah, do you want to share the
news with Medtie? Yes?

Speaker 3 (27:52):
So I put forward my application for a new flat
in Auckland at a house that I was really excited
to move in.

Speaker 2 (27:58):
Yes, yes, And I thought.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
If one name is going to get me in made?

Speaker 2 (28:04):
So you were using and abusing me?

Speaker 1 (28:07):
I mean that's neither here nor there.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
No, no, no, but you did. You messaged me and
you said can I put you downe as a reference?
And I said, absolutely you can.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
Well I get this email. Thank you for your interest.
Unfortunately your application has been unsuccessful.

Speaker 1 (28:20):
And I think it's in that situation.

Speaker 3 (28:25):
I'm sorry, but I think you know what, what other
reason would I not get this flat?

Speaker 2 (28:30):
Can I be honest with you?

Speaker 1 (28:31):
You did get a phone call? Well, oh my god?
May no? Did you miss it?

Speaker 2 (28:39):
Well, here's the thing. I often don't answer my phone
if I don't know who the number is. And I
started the other day. I opened up my voicemail and
I have about thirty voicemail messages going back to about June,
and I started to listen to them, and I thought,
I can't get through all thirty. Why I stopped listening?

(29:01):
There is Look, there is a maybe a I reckon
five percent chance that there is a message for me
on my and listen to voicemails, But I don't think
there is.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Okay, Mattie, you you asked someone who needs to answer
your phone. You are a businessman, you are a host.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Do you want me to reach out?

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Do you want me too late? I just want you
to know that that was Sarah's dream property gone just
like that. Do you know what imagine?

Speaker 3 (29:33):

Matthew was supposed to bring in the present. Have you
remembered it?

Speaker 1 (29:43):
Do you want me to play to save here right now?

Speaker 2 (29:45):
Please?

Speaker 1 (29:49):
Mary and Mary and PJ the podcast The Sudden stumble
upon this. You know how you're just scrolling on your
computer at work. I just saw email etiquette rules that
you should be following.

Speaker 2 (30:02):
Let me guess you and I are following none of them.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
Know.

Speaker 1 (30:07):
I'm going to teaest you. Okay, So first up, use
your name in your professional email address. Email addresses are
used for everything, so make sure you use a combination
of your name and a few numbers when creating an account,
not like slick Kitty ninety. It doesn't fly. I'll tell

(30:28):
you what I was Hepster highlander at hotmail dot com.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
Why why were you hipster? Because my brother played for
on get Out, Get Out? So that was my email.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
Address generally, yes, well I did. I can't excess it
any more, so I'd love to know who's still emailing.

Speaker 2 (30:50):
Dot com.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
But I do have like a few email addresses, and
I'm always wonder I use like one's got my nickname
at my last name? Minute? Is that does that fly?

Speaker 2 (31:01):
I think that flies? That's fine.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
You think I think it's fine.

Speaker 2 (31:06):
It's just do you know what the do you know
what the litmus test is? If you were on the
phone to your bank or to a medical professional and
they say, what is your email address? Can you confidently
say the email address out loud?

Speaker 1 (31:24):
I've actually got a funny story about that. So my
neck name is PUDs, It's what my family has always
called me. Mi'm a puddle, and my last name is Harding.
So when I say and I always write it out
or like when a company asked me what's the name
they go pud Sharding, I'm like, no, no, no, it's nothing.

Speaker 4 (31:53):
Maddy j May the podcast.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
Now I wasn't on the show yesterday, so we haven't.
We had like a thorough catch up about the long weekend.
We got to go around the Corrimandle and a campa
van as a family for the first time, which was
so cool. Honestly, I wish we had longer because it's
almost not enough time, Like you really need to be
on the road for a week or so. I reckon truly, mate,

(32:20):
I got a taste for it. I feel like we
could be a full blown camper family.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
I agree. Ryan and I did a trip around the
South Island in a motor home one summer and it
was incredible. We've done the We did Northland in a
camper van. We're right up to Capra Danger, which was beautiful.
Such an easy way, easy way of.

Speaker 1 (32:39):
Getting around and to see the country. And you also
meet people man like we're at the campground and it's
so social. I would say it's way more social than
your usual way of going to accommodation, Like you just
walk past and you start making mates and you're like,
get a Karen, how's going with you? How that kurds
this morning?

Speaker 4 (32:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (32:56):
Good? Okay. We were on our way back to Auckland
on Monday and jeeves, we forgot about the traffic, didn't
we For the long weekend from Corimandal to England. It
was hectic. Definitely did not leave enough time. And I'm

(33:19):
always want who likes to drop into cut cafes along
the way and be just like, do you reckon? We
have time? I'm like, got time, popped into this cafe.
We rolled in. All of this traffic went past us
and you bitch it, we got stuck behind so many vehicles.
But you know, I didn't regret my cafe hit and

(33:41):
I went in and as I was standing in line,
I was behind a trading and his girlfriend that looked
like that were a couple, and I caught it but
giggle when I overheard the guy making his order. So
in a true trading fashion, he kind of like said
some of his words under his breath of it and

(34:02):
he mumbled, mumbled, and he goes, oh, mince cheese and
flat white mince cheese. And the girl find the counter
goes she literally looks stunned, and she said, what do
you mean a mince and cheese flat white? I think,
I think to her offence like she was really new

(34:24):
on the job, and she was like, hang on, is
this some kind of blend of coffee that I've never
heard of? What's a mince and.

Speaker 2 (34:31):
Cheese flat She's like, clear, oh my god, like the
Auckland as I know they do it strink some weird things, but.

Speaker 1 (34:37):
Is something I need to know? And then he goes, No,
a mince and cheese pie and a.

Speaker 2 (34:43):
Flat do you know what would have been so brilliant?
Imagine because you know, sometimes I've been this person where
you've been been in like a hospitality industry and you
get flustered, especially if you're a younger person in that
industry and you're trying to because you don't want to
look like an idiot.

Speaker 1 (35:02):
So you'd, of course, yeah, we can get it. You
run out of the back and you go, guys, if
he wants some months cheese flat Whitela mixed things.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
She's mixed things. She's trying to grind the mince and
cheese pie into the coffee beans.

Speaker 4 (35:16):
Where she saw the lock.

Speaker 1 (35:16):
On her face, she was genuinely so abused, and when
she realized she obviously like was like, oh my god,
I'm such an idiot. But it got me thinking of
when you have been lost in translation, because that could
have gone brilliantly if they hadn't like cleared that up
actually followed through. So I want to know on the

(35:38):
phone this evening, I eight hundred the hats, what did
you ask for and what did you get in return?
And maybe it wasn't specifically at a cafe, maybe it
was something online. Maybe yeah, you were in a retail store.
Whatever it was, you went to ask for something and
you got something totally different, maybe a haircut. Oh, eight

(36:01):
hundred hats text four for eight seven when we lost
in translation? What did you ask for and what did
you get in return?

Speaker 4 (36:12):
Mady and PJ Many and PJ the podcast The Heads.

Speaker 1 (36:17):
I overhears a rather hilarious conversation at a cafe. A
guy was making an order over the long weekend, and
because he was like Trady, he sort of set his
order under his breath and he kind of mumbled it
and he said, oh, have a mince and cheese and
flat white, and the waitress looked absolutely stunned. And she
literally said the words again, going you want a mince

(36:40):
and cheese flat white. Obviously he failed to say pie
and and out large, and it soon became very clear
what he actually wanted to order. But it got me thinking,
when have you been lost in translation? What did you order?
And what did you get?

Speaker 2 (36:53):
Someone did text some said I was out for breakfast
with a large group, asked for a jug of order
for the table. They brought me a tiny milk jug
with water. Oh no, really, who wants there? Who wants
a tiny milk drink with hot water in it?

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Does she have a long leggings are? Otherwise there would
be no raising. Kerry Anne is joining us at one
hundred the hits When did you get lost in translation?

Speaker 4 (37:17):

Gan, It's nice to speak to you.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
Nice to speak to you.

Speaker 8 (37:22):
Yes.

Speaker 7 (37:23):
And so we me and my husband moved to New
Zealand about ten years ago, and this was just after
we first arrived and we thought, we'll go down to
the local fish and chip shop and we'll treat yourself
for dinner. So my husband ordered, so he thought, get
fish and chips and we've seen the done donuts, so
he was like, we'll have a couple of donuts. Now,
the girl behind the counter looked very, very confused. And

(37:45):
then when we got home we never thought of anything
of it. Our donuts weren't there and we thought, oh,
never mind. But what actually happened is they had battered
our fish in donut. So we had donut battered fish.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
Did it tastes good?

Speaker 4 (38:02):
No, very sugary fish.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
Carrier, very sugar.

Speaker 8 (38:10):
It was very strange.

Speaker 7 (38:11):
We ended up picking the basket off and eating them.
Really sweet flavor.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
To it, but sometimes it's went savory does work when
you fries?

Speaker 2 (38:22):
And I don't know that sugar and fish mix well
together them. No.

Speaker 1 (38:27):

all went to a cafe for some brunch and we
were all ordering separately, and on the menu it said
two eggs and bacon, so my brain went up and
she said, oh, I'll have two eggs and bacon plates,
so I won't ordered. We went and sat down and

(39:00):
everyone's getting their meals coming out, and then she gets
two plates of bacon an egg.
