The Hats Drive with Meddi and Paja thanks to Chemist
ware House the Real House of Fragrances on that Hi everybody,
and welcome to the podcast. Meddie's got places to be
because he's got a lot to tack off the to
do list.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
So I'm hosting a Hen's due for my best friend
at my house this weekend. Terrified. I'm terrified for so
many reasons. First of all, whenever you throw a party,
you just the pressure to throw a good event.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
It's huge, and especially when it's your best friend and
then it's her Hen's party, so hopefully she'll only do
this once in your life true.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
And also it's like if it's your you know, if
you're throwing your own birthday party, well, you know, if
you let yourself down, then you let yourself down. If
it's not a it's not great. But if it's not
great and it's someone else's party that you're throwing, then
that shit, no.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
It'll be fine. Do you know what? I think?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
It's so easy when you're like throwing a party to
get caught up in all the little details. I think
as long as the ViBe's good. This is like my
life motto, the life if the vibe is good, then
who cares about all the fucking little details? No one
really cares, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
So I've got to get home after the after this,
after we've done the podcast, because her husband, husband to be,
is coming around to our house and we've got to
ask him those you know they do this classic thing. Yes,
I asked your fiance these questions and do you have
the Yeah, So here's the question, because I've had to
(01:31):
like obviously write a list of questions to ask him,
and his mum will be there, her, his sister will
be there, like aunties will be there. Her aunties will
be there. So how dirty do you get sexy?
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah? I think sex positions are all good.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
That's fine.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
Actually not know, I get so good about this.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
So I've got really like I've got simple ones like
where did you meet, Like who made the first move?
What was your first impression of her? Blah blah blah,
all these kinds of things. And then I've just I've
got two spicy questions and they're not the low level spice.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Have a listen.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Who initiates things in the bedroom?
Speaker 3 (02:20):
Yes? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (02:21):
Or who initiate? Who is the initiator? I suppose you
could word it.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
And then what's her favorite position?
Speaker 3 (02:30):
You got the position parents, but do you know what?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
The ovell had a like proscco all three so, and
they'll be like, oh.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Jack, yeah, do you know what?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Often, like everyone else is laughing, they often miss missed
the answers it's.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
True, that's true? Or sometimes did I say it the
filthiest of the lot?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
One hundred froth in it?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Yeah, we all think that are like these real prudish
No no, no, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
They were here before us. Remember we arrived through there.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Apparently the groom's mum is actually bringing a funnel to
the party.

cleaner the next day?

I shouldn't.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
You'd be right, I.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Think so, Like, I don't think it'll be outrageous.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Often people say hens a lot like radio than's decks.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah, not filthier, though, I don't know. Like girls, girls
are still respectful. I think, you know, like they will
be respectful of the space. I think guys don't much
about the space holes and walls with guys probably more. Yeah,
like women will get crazy. I'm not saying they won't,
(04:00):
but that.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Is still respectful.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
I don't know. Maybe I wat. I'll report back on Monday.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Coming up of the podcast, it's fun Today we talked
about a bush Trumer for about ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
We played are you were with accountants today? That was
That was fun. That was a good one.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
And inspired by a little bit of a gimmicky thing
over in the UK to remot small business, we decided
to open up the phone lines you got to promote
your business.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
But there was a catch and it was very fun.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
It was fun all of that and more.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Coming up of the podcast. We hope you enjoy it.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
Bye bye, Many and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
I don't know if this is a thing that happens
when you get older, but my visits to paper Plus
I really enjoy them. I feel like a bookstore is
a really wholesome experience.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Film far between these days, though, aren't they.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
This is true, This is true, But I don't know
if in like small towns, they just pop off a
little bit more.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
There's like a real buzz about the local bookshop.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
I love perusing the books. Do you know what. I
also love perusing the cards?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Yeah, car, yeah, yeah. Now I've got a two year old.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
I love kids books, and I just find myself like, oh,
I like this, and I'm like, am I getting there
for him? Or But anyway, at our local bookshop, it's
actually connected to the post office. And I needed to
send a little parcel today and I walked it to
the store.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
And I swear I heard her, and I like.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Looked, oh my god, of course you did. And you
thought I've still got it, still got it?
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Instantly we weren't praying with many, because when you think
there is an opportunity, a glimmer of hope that you
may still have it, you take it right. So I
sort of paused, and I didn't like make a big
deal about him. I sort it was just trying to
like suss out the place.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Was there someone.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Hiding, was it was it quiet in the shop or
with lots of people in.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
There, not lots of people. There was a bit of
a bus like this, sort of just like the ambiance sound.
It wasn't too loud, it wasn't too quiet, but I
could definitely hear I've ever.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Yeah, But my point being, was it obvious that if
someone was doing that it would have been for you?
Was it so busy in there that it could have
really been for anyone?
Speaker 3 (08:03):
No, I could have been probably for a few other things.
Will leave, be honest.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
And then I'm like standing in the line waiting for
to post my parcel, and.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
I swear to hear it again, put a bit more distantly,
and I'm like, am I just hearing things like? Is
this someone hidden bookshelf?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
You look cute today? You look cute today. There's no
reason why I don't. I'm not carrendous.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
I've got mud, I've got like on my top, I
had no makeup on or anything.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
And then the penny dropped.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I looked in front of me as this lady picked
up her phone and I hear that, and it's her
notification and it's like her text message sounder, and.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
I don't know, I must have been in my own
I just like looked down. I was like, okay, sweet,
is that never happened? You don't still got it to
be nice?
Speaker 2 (08:56):
If you did, I mean, you've still got it. But
also people need to get their text to lose.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
You know, things must be dire if I'm getting clown
from a text to learn.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
The podcast The Black Ferns have made headlines around the
world today for their interaction with none other than King Charles.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
I love this. It's so down to earth, kiw real
and raw.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
It's incredible. So the World Champions Champions are on tour
and going up against England on Sunday this Sunday, so
they got to meet King Charles. Huge, What a massive
honor to go into to meet royalty, you know, And
I would be so bad, you would be, I would
(09:51):
you would screw it up almost immediately, I'd have I
would have I would have zero faith in you coming
out clear.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
I'd knock him out trying to.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
Do something stupid. Yeah, well but it is. It would
be so nerve wrecking, right because there's so many things
that you've got to think about, and I know there's
a lot of rules and protocol and all this kind
of thing, and at least be fair like if you're
a if you're a rugby player from New Zealand, you're
probably not you know, you're not used to that on
(10:25):
the protocol and you're not used to that level of
pomp and ceremony. So this was the dilement faced by
the Black Funs. What do you do? How do you
approach this? And after the fact. This is how Ruby
Toohey explained the situation on the movies.
Speaker 6 (10:42):
They're like, just out about the Kurtsie and You're like,
I don't ever have an ass They didn't see nothing,
they didn't say nothing about no courtsy or anything. Honestly,
the brothers walking in ten seconds we hit the guy
come there, guys, okay, and we were like what what
I was like, is this a joke?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Is this that must happen to everyone? Ten seconds before
King of England comes out?
Speaker 6 (11:01):
You have to learn how to kip say So I
don't know what happened, but I think he said you
can bow or I think we were like that was
like a damn like it was.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I could not believe it was real life. It's so cool.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
She called King Charles. The brother.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
Described an emma.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
She said she got caught in almost like a half bow,
half curtsy and ended up doing like a dabbing movement
and I just thought, this is perfect. This is exactly
how you would imagine the Black Funds would greet the
King of England.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Well, they've left their mark on her nest for sure. Absolutely,
he ain't going to forget that anytimes.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
There's a cute moment after that where one of the
Black Funds said, do you mind if we give you
a hug? And he said of course, and so they
all went in for this massive, big group hug with
King Charles.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
It was quite sweet.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
It's quite the first impression, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Yes, And it got us thinking, have you made the
worst impression when you meet someone? Maybe it was like
a new partner's parent, maybe it was at a job interview?
Speaker 3 (12:03):
How did it go terribly?
Speaker 5 (12:06):
The podcast.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
We're talking worst first impressions. When didn't you.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Have the best start to a relationship or a friendship
or a work ship if that's a thing. Now, Apparently
producer Sarah has a bit of a doozy When you
were being.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Interviewed for this job, is that right, Sarah?
Speaker 7 (12:27):
It was actually a previous job, but with the same
bosh that we have here at the hits, so it's
a bit triggering for me. I'm holding some coffee, which
you'll hear in the story. Okay, So a couple of
years ago, I was going for an interview with our boss, Matt,
and I was really nervous because my role was getting
made redundant of this kind of This interview was like
(12:48):
make or break, and I decided to be confident because
I was a female going into a meeting with a
male boss. So I instantly stuck my hand out, thrust
my hand out. Nice to meet you, Matt. He was whole,
his laptop open and a coffee mug in either of
his hands, and he went put the open full coffee
mug and the crook of his elbow on the same
(13:10):
hand that he was holding his open laptop and chucked
out his other hand. And at the same time that
we were touching, the coffee went up in the air,
came down on him, me, the walls, the floor, and
the open laptop.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
To be fair, that's on her.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Why did he put there.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
Put it on the table, put it anywhere but the
crease of your arm.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
Oh my god, you would have spun out. And the meeting.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
And I'm looking at him in the meeting and he's
still got coffee on his I'm.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Not going to get the strip.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
How did you get employed after that?
Speaker 8 (13:49):
You know?
Speaker 2 (13:50):
Here we are though here we are exactly the hats.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Francis is joining us. What was the worst first impression?
Speaker 9 (13:58):
Oh man, I was like camp American camp counselor, and
we were doing the orientation around the camp and we
had a meeting that needed to happen on the freshman
des yes, and so you know, where's the freshman Dick?
And obviously that sound like dick without accent. Ah, freshman
(14:21):
at that age is like what twelve years old didn't
really sound.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I want to say the key, we accent, we'll get you,
get you.
Speaker 9 (14:32):
He doesn't make it sound like dak.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yeah dack.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
That caught me out when I lived in Australia quite
a bad. You have to really over anounciate.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
This is a great text that came in. I met
a lovely lady at the school pickup in the UK
when I was in Nanny. We chaded for quite a
while and then said I thought we knew each other
and she looked really familiar, she said, with a warm smile.
She didn't think we did. I said that I was
sure we did. Keep pushing. She introduced us self and
I replay with my name just as the pity dropped.
Her name was Nigella Lawso.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Oh god, how many times to get that? I like,
I know you. Now we've met. We've definitely met before.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
The podcast, This.
Speaker 3 (15:18):

news that the Wiggles are coming down Under for the

faces of the shows.
Speaker 2 (15:51):

us some dirt on your travel buddies?
Speaker 10 (15:56):
Yeah, of course it's Anthony. Is that he's messy.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
We're regular people at the end of the day, and
it's you know, we do what the regular road trips.
We you know, we stop off at service stations and
we do the regular people things. So it's we drive
ourselves around, which is quite normal.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
I found what what's you go to road trip? Game road?
Speaker 4 (16:17):
We actually play riddles on the road like it us
three three hour drive. We actually have riddles and we
try to we try to solve those rivers on the
on the road on the drive to kill some times.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Who's the best? Hoo's the best out of you guys
at the riddles? There's the riddle master.
Speaker 10 (16:29):
I think Anthony is quite wise.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
It's been around long time, weigle tool life for a
long time, and I think it's might be some reused riddles,
that is, you know, throwing to all the new guys.
Speaker 2 (16:39):
This wisdom and those gray here is right right.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
So you guys are going to be obviously singing all
of the classics like fruit salad, hot potato. Actually I
had to record my son last night because he is
deep in the hot potato era where it's all he
can sing.
Speaker 3 (16:58):
Can I can I play my Charlie?
Speaker 11 (17:01):
Great?
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Have a listen to this.
Speaker 11 (17:06):
Turtle?
Speaker 12 (17:09):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (17:10):
That's all okay?
Speaker 3 (17:11):
I swear it was a been the last night.
Speaker 10 (17:14):
How it seems quite with it.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Wow, he's just gone, he's just gone to But yeah,
he's that's pretty much. That's pretty much the only song
he can sing it.
Speaker 10 (17:26):
You need to know there's only a few lyrics in that.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
Song, exactly.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
It's simple. It's simple and effective.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Is it quite not? Is it quite lovely?
Speaker 12 (17:33):
Though?
Speaker 2 (17:33):
When you see the kids and how they respond to
these songs, John, Yeah, you know that have been around
for a very long time now.
Speaker 10 (17:41):
Yeah, Like I grew up watching The Wiggles.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
I'm thirty three, so Wiggles was a part of my childhood.
And now being able to perform these iconic songs for
the next generation and seeing you know, the joy it
brings to families and not just the children, but you
just see the relationship between the parents and the kids
sitting together singing and enjoying their concept for the first
time and kind of being part of that journey.
Speaker 10 (18:01):
It's Yeah, you can't describe the feeling. It's beautiful, but.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
That must be the trippy part.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Like the parents would be just as engaged because they
did grow up with your songs, so you're not actually
just singing to kids. It's like a real nostalgic experience
with appearance.
Speaker 4 (18:16):
Yeah, you're right, it's and it's also the moment too.
You know, you stee parents spend a lot of time
in front of the TV is just as much as
as the children would, and that would actually know that
not just the older songs, but also the new songs
that are actually you know, on the series as a late.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
And dare I say it, John, without wanting to make
you blush, you do seem to have broadened a rather
adult audience.
Speaker 10 (18:38):
A few videos going around.
Speaker 4 (18:41):
It's pretty interesting. But you know, the internet is full
of creative people out there.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Okay, I just want to quickly touch on the fact
that you guys, you're going to be heading up mart
Monginelli on January for the sound System Dance Party. Now,
this is your brother Lenny Pierce. He's in the max
with this, isn't he?
Speaker 4 (18:59):
Yes, So Lenny actually alongside Dorothy to bring these nostalgic
Wiggles songs to life and kind of give them, you know,
an m background and you know, kind of make it
applicable for festivals and parties for the generation that grew
up with the Wiggles.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
My son who was singing Optato before he actually knew
that the Lindy Pierce remixers, before the og Weggles, and
he would literally request the Monkey Dance song and it
would say to the Monkey.
Speaker 10 (19:27):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's got to drop there.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
It's really cool and I think I think the high
energy in the tempo of these songs actually you know,
resonate with the heart rate of toddlers at one six pm.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Oh well look, hey, look, it was so nice to
get you on today. Of course John from the Weggles,
they're bringing their Weggles Groove Tour to in Zi. They're
going to be heading out Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington and Crashes

And then Maddy and I, with our powers combined, have
to work out if you're telling the truth or not.

slightest I could just imagine, Rowena, I need to send

absolutely do an Andrea. I cannot lie to save myself.
I would absolutely panic Andrea, you are not an accountant?
Speaker 13 (22:54):
Actually, why did you panic about your car?
Speaker 11 (23:01):
I just did a moment when I saw what sort
of cat do I try?
Speaker 3 (23:09):
You threw us?
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Threw us? Well, I just I immediately thought Andrew's so
trying to come up with an answer for what she
thinks an accountant would try one hundred percent.

You're wrong?
Speaker 3 (24:26):

Oh?
Speaker 3 (24:31):
What are your farm bread?
Speaker 2 (24:37):

Speaker 1 (24:38):
I think we jumped I think we jumped the gun
to a quack because he just came in with bread
and we were like, your accountant.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
We didn't do the digging well enough, but damn it.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Okay, one out of three this week, But are you
If you've got any good suggestions for occupations when we
returned next week, text them through the fourth.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
May J Madi and PJ the podcast well established at
this point page that you and I are just not
outdoor jobs people.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
I like walking outdoors, I love sunshine and nature.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
I have being outdoors. Do I enjoy doing work in
the outdoors? None of that.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
I am getting quite inspired around this time of year though,
to start planting.
Speaker 3 (25:22):
No, hang on, hear me out. I want to do
the hood garden.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
I want to do the vigia garden, and I want
to chuck some nice flowers and for color.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
You say this, but you famously just this week when
it brought yourself a water blaster and then left it
opened on the deck without having done any water blasting
for your husband to come and finish off the job.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
And then I actually got the wrong water. Wrong water?
Is that way too much energy on our off grid property?
Speaker 2 (25:44):
And then I mean, lest we forget, I tried to
trim the edges of our lawn with the hedge trimmer
this year.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
So look, at least we know our drinks and we
know our weekness absolutely, and so we need the tops
of our hedges trimmed at the moment.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
And it's very high and I do not have the
knowledge or capacity to be able to do it, and
Ryan is very busy, and we want them trimmed for
this weekend because I'm hosting an event at our house
this weekend.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Oh, they need to be kul it.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
So I put it in the local community page. Can
anyone come and trim the bush?
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Are important?
Speaker 2 (26:28):
No, I said, can you come around? Can anyone come
around and trim the hedges at our house?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
Nice?
Speaker 2 (26:33):
And I got a bunch of different messages from people saying, yes,
we can do this. This is something I offer as
a service, or I have a business that offers us
as a service. So I picked out a couple and
I sent them a couple of messages and said, can
I get a little bit of an estimate? And I
sent them photos of the of the hedge, but the
(26:53):
bush and how much to trim my bush? And they
got two different people came back with quotes. Now, one
of them was for three hundred and fifty dollars, which
to me, I thought was steep for just getting the
tops of the hedges trimmed. And we're not a mess
of property, so they're not it's not a huge job.
(27:17):
But then I also thought, well, what how do I know?
Because I don't I don't do the job.
Speaker 3 (27:22):
I was going to take you for a ride, maybe MC.
Speaker 2 (27:25):
Potentially but then also I thought, maybe this is just
a three hundred and fifty dollars job. And then I
got the second quote through from the different from a
different person who said, yeah, mate, I can come around
on this on Saturday morning and do it for one
hundred and twenty bucks.
Speaker 9 (27:40):
Day.
Speaker 2 (27:40):
And I thought, very teen day, because I mean, your
first instinct, right is well, of course I'm going to
go for the one hundred and twenty. It's the cheaper way, cheaper,
it's more than half the price of the of the
other one. But then I thought, but am I Am
I getting a crap job? Like is this guy going
(28:00):
to come around and do the beer minimum?
Speaker 1 (28:04):
But do you know what, he's probably just like stock
standard every day guy, Like I feel like my husband
would go pretty cheap. He'd be like, oh maight, I'll
pop round, just give me a box of beers, do
you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (28:12):
Like New Zealand thing. And he might do a really
good job.
Speaker 2 (28:15):
Maybe, But then am I better to go for the
more expensive one expecting a better job?
Speaker 1 (28:23):
Why don't you do the old bashing and go, hey mate,
I'll do two hundred and that's it.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
You're not very good at that, I I'm terrible at that.
And then I'm also like, but then I'm still paying
eighty dollars more than the other guys. He'll come around
and Saturday morning and do it.
Speaker 1 (28:36):
I'm team cheap go for him. I reckon, how much
can you butcher up a bush?
Speaker 3 (28:41):
Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Okay, here's my question, though, I would love for people
to call us right now on one hundred the Hits
or maybe text us to four four eight seven. Did
you choose the cheapest option and how did it go?
Maybe maybe it turned out great and you got an
awesome service, brilliant job and it was really cheap, or
(29:07):
you ended up going dam should the extra hundred bucks?
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Oh, wait, one hundred the Hans to join the show,
And if you've got any additional advice for Maddie's little
bush dilemma, please get in touch.
Speaker 5 (29:21):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and PJ the podcast that.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
So I put it out there. I need to get
the tops of our hedges trimmed. And I've had two
quotes back, one for three hundred and fifty one for
one hundred and twenty bucks. Do I go for the
cheaper option because that's your first thought, right, save some money,
go the cheaper option. But is cheaper always better? We'll
listen to this text from four four to seven. Went
for the cheapest option for our wedding photographer. The photos
(29:48):
turned out so bad that the week after we came
back from our honeymoon, we got dressed back up, rehired
the suit brides, makeup and hear the works, and had
the photos retaken by someone else.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Oh my god, that must have been bad. There's quite
a lot of advice as well on what you should do.
Someone he made of the best ways to ask the
photos of previous jobs that they've done. That's quite a
good idea. But we wanted to know what happened when
you did take the cheap option. Brooke is joining us.
Speaker 3 (30:17):
Get a Brook, good afternoon, team.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
How are you very well?
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Very well? Okay, what happened with you? So my car was.
Speaker 8 (30:25):
In a little bit of a dinger ding and it
went in to get fixed. Well, it got fixed and
then but the painting wasn't included, right, So I wrung
a couple of places, got quotes and they pretty much
came in around the same price. But apart from one,
he was like in maybe one hundred hundred and fifty
dollars less. So I was like, hey, not much of
(30:47):
a difference. I might as well go with him, because
you know, they're obviously about that much. Anyway, he went in.
The big bit was painted, okay, you could tell that
it was painted by hand rather than like an air gun.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
All.
Speaker 8 (31:03):
Then all of the medium kind of chips and the
little chips were legitimately covered in with.
Speaker 3 (31:09):
Five vivids like a read. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (31:13):
And then as soon as the first rainfall gone, no, God.
Speaker 1 (31:23):
That is amazing, George's joining us. Hi, Georgia, what happened
when you took the cheap option?
Speaker 13 (31:30):
Hi?
Speaker 14 (31:30):
So we we took the cheaper option for a landscaper.
Landscaping in our house a new build. So it was
like all they had to lay down soil and everything
and then spray through the sprown grass. But we noticed
that the grass never grew properly in one area of
our sections. And no matter what my partner does, like
fertilize and everything, it just wouldn't grow properly. The end,
(31:51):
my dog kept trying of like dinner, get it and
all talks. You know, Like a year later, my partner
gave up and said that I'm just gonna like dig
it all up and like try and redo it all.
And he found big sleeps of concrete that the landscapers
had dumped in there, and they had that buried in
the ground. Oh, they hid concrete from it that they'd
ripped out of another job and they don't want to
(32:12):
pay to dispose it, and then covered over it. And
so the grass wasn't growing, probably because he was so
much concrete underneath it, but it couldn't root.
Speaker 1 (32:23):
Okay, I'm starting to think you're going to need to
take the more expensive though. I mean, our big can
a bush get it. You know, Karen has joined us
on Night one hundred. Their hats what happened when you
took the cheap option?
Speaker 11 (32:35):
Well, it wasn't me. It's my tight ass partner. He
loves the cheaper options. So we found a guy on
make on Facebook to do a brand new fcence and
the fence was put out. It was straight across the top,
but about the bottom it was all uneedn like you know,
(32:56):
you think it'd be quite easy to cut planks at
the same leak.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
And then.
Speaker 11 (33:01):
A couple weeks later he came up on fear go.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Oh no, never a good sign, Karen, never a good
very good sign.
Speaker 11 (33:10):
New Zealand showed my partner crack that laughing. This is
so you.
Speaker 1 (33:21):
Well, Mayne, maybe you're gonna have to do some background
checks on these hdge trimmers. Great message here from Steve
Mate better off to buy your own hedge trimmer from
Bunnings and do it yourself. Never let another man a podcast.
I caught bj my partner, doing a very cheeky tactic yesterday,
(33:45):
and I would love to know if your partner ever
does this too many.
Speaker 3 (33:51):
So whenever he is a little.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
Bit reluctant to ask me if he can do something,
for example, a trip away, whether it be fishing or hunting,
he will ask me in front of his friends. So
last night he did just this, and he has his
friend Hayden over, he had Josh over, the kids playing
(34:15):
in the background, and he literally tried to pitch the
dreams of him going away.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
Hunting for like ten to fourteen days next year.
Speaker 1 (34:27):
And he did it in front of his mates. And
in that moment, I have to be like cool partner vibes.
I can't be like straight up note although actually I
was pretty much straight up. I know you look like
the you look, it's so cheeky, and he's done this before.
He literally wait for his friends are here so you
(34:51):
can soften the blow and see if we can get
it across the line.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Ryan doesn't do this. I feel like Ryan's just that card.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
It's it's not a right thing to do. I mean,
is it a.
Speaker 3 (35:04):
Manything to do?
Speaker 1 (35:06):
It's more than anything if it's your partner's thing at
text through four four eight seven. I'd love to know
if I've got fellow mates out there who also endure this.
Speaker 2 (35:15):
So is he going on the ten to fourteen day
hunting trip next year.
Speaker 3 (35:19):
We haven't made a decision yet, but watch.
Speaker 2 (35:23):
This space.
Speaker 5 (35:26):
Maddy and Mary and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
I've got so much respect for business owners.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
Oh same business owners and comedians.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
I have a lot of respect for getting them on
stage and telling jokes and watching audiences live reactions.
Speaker 2 (35:44):
Absolute absolute worst night there, but business I could never
I just don't know that I would have the guts
or the gaul to own my own business.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Particularly at the moment. Man honestly survive till twenty five.
I'm so sure business one as are sick of hearing
that saying.
Speaker 3 (36:04):
Like it is so tough out there.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Honestly, my heartbreaks with so many people, But there are
people who are sticking it out and they keep on going.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
And the beauty is I guess in this day and age,
with the way technology goes, there's so many ways for
you to get your message out there, to plug your
business right, especially with social media people doing really creative things.
And I've been seeing this trend online of I would say,
do I say middle aged business owners jumping on trends
(36:32):
and getting on TikTok and trying to trying to reach
a younger audience by utilizing some of the gen Z
slang words or phrases that are popular at.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
The moment, And they cringe or are they actually quite funny?
Speaker 2 (36:46):
That quite funny? But I don't know. I'm never sure
if they actually mean them to be funny. Yeah, funny
to me. And I saw this particular example today of
a couple in the UK who own like a petting zoo. Yeah,
and they did a marketing video where they tried to
(37:08):
use as many gen zed terms as possible. Now I've
got a clip. Bear in mind, these are going to
come at you hard and fast, so listening closely for
the multitude of gen Z phrases that this couple have
used in their marketing video Northumberloon Zoo, HiT's different, poppin.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
Slay, main character energy queen ck.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Oh no, it was the dead pan delivery of these
terms that just had me laughing so hard.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
Oh yeah, I get that, I do get that.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
And the beauty is cringe or not, it's got attention.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
We're talking about their business.
Speaker 2 (37:49):
I've gone viral the Northumberland Zoo. If you're interested in
looking it up.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
Okay, Well, I refuse to do gen Z stuff. Is
it just that silly makes us feel old.
Speaker 3 (37:59):
Doesn't it?
Speaker 2 (38:00):
It's eck, It's eck.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
But you know what, I think, businesses now more than ever,
deserve a bit of extra promo. Why don't we open
up the phone lines right now? Oh wait, one hundred hits.
We will give you a chance to plug your business. However,
we don't have all the time in the wood. There
is a limit, so your pitch will need to be
(38:22):
ten seconds and no longer. So for example, okay, producer Sarah,
get the time of going. Okay, get a my name's Keith.
I sell donut. They're the best donuts in the world.
We've got strawberry chocolate vanilla vanilla donuts, and if you want.
Speaker 2 (38:39):
To buy, you're out of time. You're out of time.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
You need to know the contact, So let's give advice.
Make sure you get the name and the contact and
early on, because that's the most important details of the business.
Speaker 2 (38:51):
But also, dare I say have something and have an
interesting little tidbit in there or a fun little quirky thing,
because we've decided that at the end of the segment,
once we've heard the pictures, the ten second pictures, we
are going to go back to one caller for an
update for an.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
Extra ten seconds.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
Okay, So if you want to plug your business, let's
call this boost your Business Thursday. I wait one hundred

Speaker 5 (39:22):
Many in PJ the podcast.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
Maddie, you've just been talking about overseas and the UK,
they've been getting folks in their sort of middle age
to jump on the gen Z bandwagon using their language
to promote their business.
Speaker 5 (39:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
It's a marketing tool and hard to say whether it's
effective or not, although a lot of these videos are
going viral, so I guess the message is getting out there.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Look, we're not going to do the whole gen Z
thing this afternoon, but what we thought we could do
because we know times are really tough out there, particularly
for small business. We're going to give you some free time. However,
we can't just give it out willie nilly. We've got
