something to say. I don't even know what. No, I
don't even know what I was going to say.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
I was just going to say, I have been going
down that very dangerous road of memories today of looking
back at wedding photos. Oh my god, I just wish
that you can relive it again. Do you know what?

just replay on that day and you get to experience

Year totally, and you're trying to do you're trying to
do your duty and you're trying to get round everyone
to say high So it's hard to just kind of
enjoy it in the moment. Whereas a guest, you've got
no expectations of responsibilities. You just get to sit back
and enjoy it.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
There was also that coastal what we were looking at doing.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Yes, yeah, we could do it. My going on a walk, well,
I didn't even think about that. I will be hot
and sweetie and round more.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Wat wouldn't it.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Just pushed me down there? I'll just roll along the coast.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
No, maybe it would be more of a chilled.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Killed Maybe maybe the walk is slightly ambitious. Yeah, but
look anyway, coming out, I loved today's show. I loved
today's callers. That were amazing. We talk about notes that
you received from strangers after a very rude, horrible thing
that I received on my car on Friday nights.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
But also a valid no that you've received.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Yeah, okay, fine, valid alright.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Also, I have a question for the men of New Zealand.
I need I need their help.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Sweet I'm sorry, Okay. Also we talk about Christmas tree
disasters and Maddy's heavy takedown. That was fun.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Yeah, the whole show was really fun today.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I mean, we don't want to turn her own horn.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
It was a fun Joe.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
So enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Maddy and Mady and PJ the podcast The Heads.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
I did a cheeky little visit to the garden center
before the show because I'm officially old and I like
growing flowers.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
Okay, that is that your sign that you're old? Do
you think your love of garden.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
There's a number of things. I think there's the appreciation
for linen, for just home things feeling ordered and nice
and clean. I think that's when you're on your way.
And then I think it is enthusiasm around things that
were previously mundane, like birds and plants.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
We used to always give the growing her own vegetables. Yes,
we used to always give them such a hard time.
She would iron everything thing. Yeah, I've started ironing, like
pillow cases, and yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
There's nothing like getting into iron.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
True, it's so nice.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
As I was rapping up at the counter with my
daisies and my Jasmine, I couldn't help but notice that
the lady was quite blunt first. Or she was like,
oh my god, congratulations about the baby. I was like, oh,
thank you. She goes, oh, you're going to have a
horrible time. And I was like, excuse me. And I
was like, are you talking about like having a toddler?
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Two kids? What does she mean? She was like, half the.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Next couple of months over summer, it's going to be horrible. True,
we've got we're off to a hot start.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
True.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
She's like, I don't mind twenty threes, I don't mind
twenty fives. But it's all you can already tell she's
going to be a scorcher of a summer. And then
I was like, oh god, you're right. But because I'm
not due to all like April, so I reckon, I'm
actually going to be not as bad as it could be.
You know, I've got friends who are due in January,
and I have a lot of empathy for them because
(07:03):
cheap as you feel the heat, but I know that
you're you're not even pregnant many and you feel the
I went.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
For a walt, I went up for a walk today.
I'm wearing shorts and everything, and I was sweating up
a storm. It says twenty three. I call ball on there.
It is much hotter, much.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Well, I think we're a master and and we've got
the we've got the country's high almost at twenty five today.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
I went up for a run yesterday, but I made
the c the crucial era of going for a run
in the heat of the day yesterday, which was so stupid,
And it was there because long story, long story, I
just thought I had more time at my sleeve. I
did plan your day again, Lets play my day overcome
it is misplay my day. So I went for a
(07:46):
run yesterday two o'clock in the afternoon. First of all,
very muggy. Wrong time of the day to be before a
run is idiot. Mistake. The other thing I realized had
put my running shorts on, because that's shape it No,
that's short, short, very short, and I've been wearing shorts,
but my running shorts show off just how much of
(08:07):
my upper thigh is bright white, like fluorescent white.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
You've got to wrap the band aid off at some stage.
And hopefully no one was out midday on the side.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
If they were driving in their cars, it would have
been like a laser blinded, a laser pointed through the
wind screen.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
The podcast.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
Thank you very much to Hawk's Bay for having us
to stay on Friday. Beautiful region, beautiful foods, beautiful wine. Well,
I couldn't tell you much about that, but we had
a great time, didn't we.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
We had so much fun and I can tell you
great wine.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
Thanks. I could smell it, and by the looks of
you and how quickly you were getting through it, it
was enjoyable. Now we went out for dinner at night,
which was great, and we met some really lovely human
beings and we I mean, it's always a rescue when
you go out for dinner with winners, but these ladies were.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Lovely, lovely, really fun group of women.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
Do you want to talk through the parking situation prior
to dinner because you might give a bit a better
witness account than myself.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
So lovely Gester from PJ. Obviously she's pregnant, so you
said to us, I can so, but drive us to dinner.
So that produces here and I could have a couple
of drinks with dinner if we wanted, and you worry
about it, so thank you for that. So we drove
to the restaurant and there was a we found a park,
actually a very good park, I would say, yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
We asked the parking theories.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
Thank you, prime spot right outside the restaurant that we
were going to so PJ reverses into this park, and
you said, you said, I've nailed this, and I said,
you've absolutely butchered this, and you were adamant that I
was wrong that you would add absolutely nailed this park.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I think it was the fact that when I was
backing and it looked like all of the odds were
against me, and I think what I was celebrating was
the recovery, perhaps not the overall result of the park.
If we were going to get really finicky and pay
attention to detail, maybe it wasn't the best park.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Fuck you came, you came into a harsh angle, so
you rowed the curb so two of your wheels were
right up on the sidewalk.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
We were hungry, and we made the executive call not
to repark the car.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
No, And to be fair, I did say to you
it's fine, like, yeah, it's shoddy parking, but it's not
going to inconvenience anyone, Like you're fine.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
When we came back from dinner, we were walking down
the road and in the distance I could make art
a piece of paper on my window screen and I thought,
oh no, I've got a party.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Fine, And did you see. Someone left a comment on
our on our Instagram page and said that spot neorous
for parking fines.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
I did say that, however, it wasn't a parking tine.
In fact, some would say it was something fast worse worse.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
It was a card that.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Read the following, learn to park in capitals. You accidentally
parked like a beep hole. Get the help you need
before becoming the beep head everyone hates.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
And this wasn't just a handwritten note. This was a
printed like someone's gone to a card making business, had
these cards made up and is carrying it with them
at all times. Stand out.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
Apparently I was worthy of one of these cards. Apparently.
Also you can get these on TMO.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
I think they're a lot of To be fair, you
were worthy of one of those cards that night?
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Okay maybe, but come on, we're in December now, Smith
spirit you know, oh wait, a hundred of the hits.
It did get us thinking, what was the stranger's note
that you received? You can text through four for eight seven.
Maybe it was on your car, outside your house, on
(12:16):
your desk, wherever it was. We want to know what
the note said from the stranger.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Mary and Pja Mary and pja' the podcast.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
The Heads and on Friday Night and Gorgeous Hawkes Bay.
I was left a really pleasant card on my dashboard.
It said, learn to park. You accidentally parked like a
beet hole. Get the help you need before becoming the
beep head everyone hates. So what I love about this
job is sometimes you can quickly not feel so alone.
(12:52):
And that's why we start phone topics on things that
make you feel like an idiot. Absolutely, I wait on
hundred the hits. We want to know the message that
you received from a stranger. Tracy is joining US festival.
Hi Tracy, Hi, what was the note?
Speaker 5 (13:09):
Well, I'd actually parked my car on the side of
the street and caught the bus to work. And when
I got off the bus, I sort of walked up
to the car and I could see something under my windscreen,
but like what you were saying, I was like, oh, yes, God,
parking ticket picked it up and it actually said Reverend
such and such current remember's name, called today and leaves
(13:30):
his greetings, And I was like, oh, that's really weird,
you know. It was like and then I happened to
pull a card out before I went to get into
my car. Pulled it out, looked at back and it
says ring re damaged to car. And when I walked
around the other side of my car, my whole side
of my car meshed and his handbrake apparently.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
Had failed in his carriage rolled and.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Smashed into my car. So I was sort of you know,
would have either been, oh my god, no one's left
me a note and they've hit me hit my car,
But it was just ironic that I was hit by Yeah,
he lovely.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
When you dealt with it.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
Yeah, Yeah, he was really nice.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
He was so apologicis just not not the greetings he
usually leaves. The reverend.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
Didn't have a piece of paper and all the head was.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
It was so funny that I.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
Saw it.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
Was brilliant Karen's joining us under the hurt. Sallo, Karen,
what was your message from a stranger?
Speaker 9 (14:30):
It was from the road Wicks guys. I used to
have to drive and then out the road every day
in the tector and on the motorbike and stuff. And
I got to the point it was awkward to wave
to them. It's how many times to person them? And
I found a little my little box once I had left,
(14:51):
saying that I think you're a hotty and my number
at the bottom.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Oh did you end up?
Speaker 9 (14:59):
No?
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (15:01):
Were you single though? Karen? Oh, Karen? The start of
something beautiful? Hey, if nothing else there gives you a
little peep in your step, doesn't alute little rub the.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Alisha's joining us next? Alisha, you got a message from
a stranger?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I did.
Speaker 10 (15:22):
I decided I'd have a few drinks after work in town.
The drinks were going down good, so I thought I'll
just leave my car in town overnight.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Girl nice, So I went it.
Speaker 10 (15:36):
The next morning, my partner dropped me off. We hopped
out the car. There was something on my windspring. As
we got closer, we realized that somebody had hopped on
the bottle of my car and taken a poo on
my windsprings.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
You are kidding.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Why?
Speaker 3 (15:56):
I have no idea, Alisia.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Okay, I've got to know what you do after that?
Do you go straight to the drive through car wash?
Speaker 10 (16:07):
So I made my partner, we've only been going out
for a few weeks. I made him get rid of
it because my first instinct was I'm going to put
the window wipers on.
Speaker 11 (16:17):
Noug You can't do that, stray, So wait, your partner
of what a few weeks had had to actually manually
remove it.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Yeah, that's love that.
Speaker 10 (16:33):
I'm unfortunate that I had a shovel in the bottom
my car because I used to work in a racing stable,
so I was, but my brain was obviously still recovering
from the night before.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
Are you still with the partner?
Speaker 11 (16:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Yeah, love love Alisha.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
Mady, J Mady and PJ the podcast The Heads Me.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
You got them? You got to love them?
Speaker 8 (17:02):
You do?
Speaker 12 (17:04):
So do I?
Speaker 1 (17:05):
So do I?
Speaker 3 (17:06):
You and me both sister.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
It's one of our mutual interests, that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Sometimes though, sometimes I think to myself, I get men,
and sometimes I'm left baffled by men, or maybe men
are lift baffled by me. Get this. I went onto
Instagram the other day and there's a thing you can
do where you can look at what they call your insights,
so it shows you kind of the breakdown of your
audience on Instagram. So I can tell you, like where
(17:33):
the most people are are viewing you from or following
you from, the age ranges that they come in, and
the gender split, how many of your followers are men
and how many of your followers are women?
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Because how many men would you follow? If we were
to do the gender split of.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Your following, it's probably eighty twenty at this point, which
is almost exactly the same as my inter split, but
the opposite. I have literally eighty five percent of my
followers of women and only fifteen percent of my followers
are men.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
I mean, like, when we look at it, when we
break it down, it's not like you're out chopping wood.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Is there? Is that what men want from Instagram?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Or cooking steak on a barbecue outside on a hot
summer's day.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
I don't know what men want on Instagram.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
It's not me, it's not It's not what I'm serving
up to them currently.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
Maybe you need to start wearing bikinis. Was some six
in launderer. Maybe there's what they wanted of.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Skin and then the partner comes over and the wife
comes over. What are you looking on Instagram? It's just
Meete McLean's page, honest, honort. But anyway, I just thought
to myself, I love love my women, love women. I've
always I've always start a real deep connection to women.
(19:06):
So yes, I get it right.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
But it's lovely and it's flattering, But it would the
ladies love you.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
It would be nice to up my male quota.
Speaker 2 (19:17):
What do you reckon?
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Like?
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Would you love just a ten percent increase?
Speaker 3 (19:21):
If I could get to twenty five seventy five? I
I reckon I'd be happy with that.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Okay, well, why don't we throw it out to the
men listening right now? What do you want more of
on Instagram? What do you think Maddie should post? And
then maybe they'll make you follow Meddy's content? Do you
want barbecues? Do you want DIY videos?
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Do you want running video? We've done a lot of that.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
I don't want anymore, so let us know on the
tics machine four four it's even Men of New Zealand.
What do you want on Instagram?
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Do you know what we should do? We should test
it every day we post a new video and see
if we can get your men audience up. Text any
advice through the Men of New Zealand. We need your thoughts,
your feedback. What does he need to post more of.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Maddy ANDPJ medi and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
That he needs your help because he went into the
insights on his Instagram page. Foolish thing to do. Sometimes
you just don't need to know you know sometimes it
really is now. Basically, if you go into your insights,
it can break down your audience on Instagram and you
can find out certain stats as to where people live,
(20:38):
what gender is following you. And you had quite the
revelation with the gender split.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Eighty five percent of the people that follow me on
Instagram are women, only fifteen percent of them are men.
Where are the men?
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Where are the men? But are you really really surprised?
Speaker 5 (20:56):
Not?
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I guess, but it will be nice. It's nice, just
be nice, be nice to balance it out a little bit.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
So I wondered to myself, well, what a men want?
The age old question, what a men want?
Speaker 1 (21:12):
I'd love to know. I don't think I'm the one
to tell you.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
So we asked you on the tic machine for for
it's even what kind of content should I be posting?
Speaker 1 (21:20):
Someone just someone said, show us your cheesed madie, you
more skin and you're okay?
Speaker 3 (21:29):
I need to tan fi. Someone simply said cars, my car,
my car that doesn't even have the badge on it.
It's fallen off the.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
Bondit out of context shot on your page of just
your car sitting on the street.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Someone many needs to post building projects or tool reviews.
Speaker 1 (21:51):
Remember what happened when you tried to do the lawns.
I just don't I don't think people. I mean what
you could do is you could come out met it
as someone that's not great with outdoorsy stuff, and maybe
you show your journey getting better and.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Then you know what, men love men explaining, right, so
they can just start explaining things to me in the
comments section, Maddie, what you need? What you need?
Speaker 2 (22:23):
The podcast's many TV takedown all right.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Every week you get the chance to take on the
one only Maddy McLean and what he does best? TV
knowledge things TV.
Speaker 3 (22:41):

Speaker 1 (22:44):
I'm not trying You're on it for half your life.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
And I'm not trying to toot my own horn. But
I feel like if you know you're good at something,
there's no point pretending that you're not.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
It's like me, I'm great. When a song starts, I
can tell you that you.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Know you're so good at that.
Speaker 1 (22:59):

to call through this afternoon to take on Meddi? How
confident are you feeling, Simon when it comes to TV I'm.
Speaker 8 (23:08):

You know that sometimes nowadays the Netflix you skip through
the intro, so.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
There's a bit of but yeah, that's true.
Speaker 8 (23:17):
I think I can get it.

Speaker 6 (26:08):
Awesome, Thank you, guys.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
I have a great afternoon.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
You were great.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
You were.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
Well played.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Many in pj to podcast.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
It's not denying that the news is a grim place
when you're scrolling through headlines. Yeah, she can be pretty depressing.
So when you see the headline it's of a more
trivial nature. You can't help but smile.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
I always click on them, always same.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
I just need a bit of dover me. Give me
such truth. This wasn't necessarily good news, but it was
just a quirky little story out of the UK and
the headline read man gets compensation for smooth Mars bar discovery.
So Harry Seger, thirty four year old man in the UK,
he bought his chocolate bar from a service station on
his way to a classic car show in Birmingham, and
(27:01):
when he opened the packet he noticed there was a
lack of ripple, you know how, there's just that subtle
ripple along the top. And he then posted it to
a page on Facebook, which ended up getting like more
than sixteen thousand comments, and it ended up going a
little bit viral. Turns out, Mars UK responded saying that
(27:22):
what happened is what was it? The bar had escaped
being blown by air and production. I mean, these these
machines are very particulous, aren't they. So obviously it missed
that step.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Is that what gives it the ripple? A little blow
but a little bit of.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Blow of ear. Yeah, So that's what they said, and
he ended up getting a two pound voucher said to
him in the mail, you want to say noted, but
I think you know when you'd make that much press
and headlines, you know, using TI think that got least twenty, wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (28:01):
You Or a box you're getting a box. You're getting
a box of rippled blown Mars bars. Wouldn't you mix
lave it?
Speaker 1 (28:09):
No? Obviously they just wanted to replace them. I mean,
it's tough times at the most moment twist of living,
crisis and all that.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
This is a big question because producer Sira came in
the other day with some of those little mini bags
of chips you know you get like the variety pack.
She came in with a small one of those small
bags and she opened it up and she went, oh,
and I said to her, what's wrong? And she said,
there's only like how many four I reckon four?
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Four or five chips in the.
Speaker 3 (28:36):
Chips four or five chips in the air.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
Those little packs are notorious for being I reckon eighty
percent air twenty percent.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
So I said complain, But then it was that whole
dilemma of well, are you kind of just wasting your time?
Is it worth the effort to complain? Or are you
just really going to get a two dollar voucher back?
Speaker 1 (28:59):
There are some people that literally spend their lives doing
this and they'll just wait for a moment and they'll
parents really and they are the people I want to
hear from this afternoon. Have you had a complaint, You've
made a complaint to a company, and what was the
compensation you got in return? I want to see what
we can get. Is it really worth the complaint?
Speaker 3 (29:19):
Yeah, maybe you had an absolute win and it was
totally worth it, or maybe you got literally nothing.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Okay, So what we're asking the SAVO was what was
the complaint versus what was the compensation? Oh wait, hundred
the hats. To join the show, you can text us
one for eighty seven.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and Pj the podcast The Heads.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
We've been talking about a guy in the UK who
made headlines after discovering his Mars bar did not have
the signature ripple, which turns out it's actually just the
machine blowing air. On it. That's how they create the ripple.
So as a thank you for acknowledging the lack of ripple,
he received two pound voucher, which actually not just one
(30:06):
chocolate bar. He gets two chocolate bars with that. Okay,
he doubled what he initially hats.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
Right, And to be fear, you'd still eat. You'd still
eat the chocolate bar even without that.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
Oh it'd be a new experience, would be like a
different bar. But we wanted to know what was the
complaint and what was the compensation you got. You can
call through eight hundred the hits or text through four
for eight seven Sarah, what was your complaint?
Speaker 4 (30:30):
First of all, So when I was a teenager, I
was really into reading and I found a spelling mistake
in a book.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Right.
Speaker 4 (30:41):
I literally read the book like the page like six
or seven times. I'm like, this doesn't make sense. Yeah,
So I messaged the author of the publisher whatever, and
they sent me another book of that same author, but.
Speaker 3 (30:56):
With the same a different book.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
It was a different bar book.
Speaker 3 (31:01):
Do you know if they ever checked him or did
they ever change the print run and change the spelling mistake?
Maybe you pointed it out and they'd never seen it before.
Speaker 4 (31:10):
Maybe I don't know, I've never.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Amazing that's so busy to reach out, although that off
if you saw a spelling mistake in.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
A book word yeah yeah, But I just I don't
have the discipline to actually read a novel to read
in the first place. Jenny's calling through Happy Monday. Jenny,
Hey guys here you going good? Yeah, very well? What
was your complaint?
Speaker 12 (31:36):
I brought these potatoes, the sitting pack of the potatoes
that I always buy, and baby was and when I
opened them up, they were literally like marbles, like they
were not babies. They were just like they weren't even
near room. And so I emailed the people, and then
a couple of days later, this courier guy turned up
in my driveway. It was like Sandra had arrived, because
(31:58):
he was just lugging these big things by sex up
the driveway and I'm like, what's worse. So went out
to see him and he says, oh, yeah, it's a
delivery from blah blah. And I ended up with twenty
kilos of onions, twenty kilos of carrots, and a really
nice We're so sorry. I hope you keep buying your product.
Speaker 3 (32:19):
How long did it take you to gainst all there?
Speaker 12 (32:25):
Started giving them to like the neighbors and around. You know,
onions make your eyes.
Speaker 1 (32:34):
Oh my god, there's seat. It's worth some worth reaching.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
Sometimes page but a few ticks on the tex machine.
I ordered a pizza. They didn't add any sauce to
the pizza. That would that would absolutely ruin the pizza, right,
so you'd fully expect a brand new pizza. Absolutely just
got a two dollars refund for the sauce.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Kidding over bowl, what about this? I bought the little
jellies with fruit. They went sealed, so we got sent
the biggest box of doll products mostly Cairns. Should be
stoked about love that at least got a Diane, Hi, Diane,
what was your complaint?
Speaker 8 (33:15):
Him? A few years ago?
Speaker 6 (33:17):
I brought my doll sorry, my daughter a dole. Now
it sort of saved.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
Up for this.
Speaker 6 (33:22):
It was quite the next sense to stole at the
night and she hadn't had it for very long and
the arm fell off, and I was like, well, this
is not good. So I sent alsa to the makers
and we've got a this certificate back. What yeah, we
thought get a refund or something that we got.
Speaker 9 (33:47):
That is so.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Gram did you tell youn't good?
Speaker 6 (33:52):
I love disappointed?
Speaker 3 (33:54):
Did you have to do then do a whole whole
burial and funeral service for it as well?
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Diane that Maddy and PJ Mady and PJ the podcast
that's Ho Ho Ho, it's December.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Why does it sound sarcastic and like you're not into it?
Which is the opposite about you really feeling.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
I think I'm trying to temper it because I am
very excited about the festive season. But right, but I'm
in a household where half of us famously not that festive.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
So am I? And like, even after I'd said specifically
I really want to go all out for Christmas, Yeah,
like I just have that festive kind of feel, you know,
some years you just feel it more than others. I
said to PJ the Harb, I was like, I just
want to get a really cool trade this year. And
he came back on his motorbike at lunchtime from work
(34:54):
with like literally a twig and some leaves like shrub,
like literally taken a bet off a Christmas tree and
he goes, I founder a tree. Oh Like no, I
was like, maybe we can put that in the entrance way,
like a little planned or something.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Well, I told you what Ryan's argument was. He was like,
we're not here for Christmas Day, so why would we
put up a Christmas tree?
Speaker 1 (35:16):
Because the lead up days are the best days in December.
I reckon, it's all about the anticipation.
Speaker 3 (35:23):
Put the tree up. Anyway. I meant to put it
up last night, but I did get a little bit distracted.
But it's going up tonight. It's going up tonight, okay,
just to day daylight. And Ryan, be damned, I'm putting
the tree up.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Mine is dependent on BJ getting the perfect tree, so
we could be a couple of weeks.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
I talked to Mom. She's got her tree up. She's
very festive like I am. But poor thing. Mum gets
a hard time from us sometimes. And she had these
ornaments that she would always put on in a tree.
They were fish. They were like glass blown fish.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
Oh yep.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
You were like, why have you got the fish? What's
with the fish on the Christmas tree? Anyway, we gave
us such a hard time about it. She said, this year,
the fish are not going up on the tree. I'm
sick of you guys giving me a hard time about it.
It's a poor mum.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
I feel like every household notoriously has the ugly Christmas decoration,
like we's always we like these little remember little Santas
with the real long white bed, Yes, and they had
this real yung texture, but you just always wheeled them
back out because that's what you do.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Ryan's biggest fear is that we're going to get sent
Christmas ornaments from our nieces and nephews and be forced
to put them on the tree, because He's like, if
the tree is going up, I wanted to look esthetically pleasing.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
Have you ever had any Christmas tree blunders or disasters?
Speaker 3 (36:39):
Nothing crazy that I can think of. We were very
nervous about putting our tree up when we had Otis
as a puppy, because we just weren't sure what he
was going to do to it. But he actually just
left the thing alone. I know that it's not the
same for cats, though cats go crazy. Has Jojo gone crazy?
Speaker 1 (36:55):
Yeah, she's attempted to climb up. We actually put our
tree in our indoor one year and it gets really
really hot and I hadn't accounted for that and it
literally dried up and orange with a few times, so
I think we need to keep it inside.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Now highly flammable as well. Tensor just highly light up
like that.
Speaker 1 (37:16):
Well, I thought we could do a bit of a
warning this afternoon, as many people are starting to either
think about as scendling their tree putting their tree up.
Maybe you've already done it, but over the next couple
of weeks a lot of trees will be popping up
at home. Let's hear your Christmas tree disaster stories. What
do we need to be weary of as we put
the tree up this year? What was the disaster that
(37:39):
happened with your Christmas doesn't have to be last year,
could be years ago. Call up and give us a warning.
Oh wait, a hundred.
Speaker 5 (37:45):
The hat.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Mady and PJ.
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Mady and PJ the podcast The Hits, and we want
to give out a little warning on oh wait, one
hundred the Hits. We want to know your Christmas tree
disas to store is because no doubt a lot of
people are of the mindset that they're going to be
putting up their trees soon, if they haven't already done so.
Uh So we want to know when putting up the
tree didn't quite go to plan. You can text through
(38:11):
four four eight seven. We'll give us a bell on
a hundred. It's like Courtney's done. Hello course, yeah, what
what happened with the tree? Courtney?
Speaker 13 (38:25):
So a couple of couple of teps. So I think
it's important to measure before you try and put it
in the car. Oh yeah, so we're a little bit
too a little bit too, She'll be right, and like,
chop a bit of the bottom off when we got home,
(38:45):
and and then we put it up. I've got one
of those compartments that you screwed in the bottom, and
it meant to be real easy, you know, yeah, and
we could not get it straight and almost a divorce
or the mean, and then it fall over and wallet
(39:06):
swimming everywhere, and finally got that that wasn't quite straight.
It will be fine that standing, and then we decorated
it all. And then my wife came in today to
work and she said, the Christmas tree came crashing down
in some decoration. I just got home now and it's
(39:27):
just leaning against the wall.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
And let me it's all your fault. Yes you can
hear the.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
Oh it's so free.
Speaker 13 (39:41):
But I'm like, oh, that'll be my night to night
redicorating it.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
And trying to get it off the lean of the
of the wall as well caught.
Speaker 13 (39:50):
Oh it's literally just leaning.
Speaker 1 (39:52):
Good luck, hey, Courtney, Merry Christmas easy last year.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
Yeah, I was the festive season. It'll get you'll, it'll get.
Speaker 1 (40:05):
You all right, lean's joining us. What's your Christmas tree?
Disastest story.
Speaker 8 (40:11):
And mine's the animal thing. So when my ball masters,
it was probably about forty kgs, So a lot comes
out when they pee. He peed all over my pop
up tent type Christmas tree. It was an amazing tree.
That's sing it because yeah, it was disgusting.
Speaker 1 (40:29):
Just weed right over. He wanted to mark his ter
it train.
Speaker 8 (40:31):
Yeah, yeah, he was just like, what's this new thing?
Speaker 5 (40:35):
What's called.
Speaker 8 (40:39):
In the dining room on the carpet.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
You always just need to separate the animals and toddlers
from the trees, don't you.
Speaker 3 (40:46):
A couple of texts here page on four four eight
seven someone said, when my kids were young, we went
out and on arriving home someone had stolen the tree,
fully decorated, but nothing else. Everything on use in the house,
fine valuables, jewelry, computers, not touched tree, decorated tree stolen.
Speaker 1 (41:06):
Oh that's just rude. There's so much thought and feeling
an emotion that goes into it. What about this one?
Do not do not argue over who's putting this star
on the top of the tree. I fell on ours
doing O God, he's got a trace to wrap this up,
Hi Tracy, what's your morning when it comes to putting
(41:27):
up Christmas trees?
Speaker 7 (41:29):
Well, my warning is just be careful where you put
your decorations. My son was staying with our sister's wife
and we head the tree already and I said, can
you go out to the shed and bring the decorations in?
He comes in, gets the bag, tips it out, and
rubbish when all over my lounge, I mean rubbish from
the bun and we just looked at each other and
(41:53):
realized that my husband has taken the decorations have been
saving for you norse, and we were shut with rubbish
and we need to actually makes.
Speaker 11 (42:09):
So you're hobby.
Speaker 1 (42:10):
You got the bags confused? He threw out these decorations
and instead keep the bag of rubbish. Did you like
the track down the decorations or the.
Speaker 3 (42:23):
Yeah? Coming back from that trace.
Speaker 1 (42:26):
One man's trash, another man One man's trash, another man's treasure.
Speaker 3 (42:30):
That's what they say, isn't it exactly exactly.
Speaker 9 (42:34):
Rubbish.
Speaker 7 (42:35):
They're all over my Lund
Speaker 2 (42:38):
Podcast that
