Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Hits Drive with Meddi and PJ Thanks to Chemists
Were House, the Real House of Fragrances and on that. Okay,
hi everyone, and welcome to the podcast. Big night for
Meddie on the Socializing Tools tonight.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Yeah, I'm going to go along to the Celebrity Treasure
Island launch party, you know, and all the rest of it.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
You'll be like, hey, guys, remember the time that I won.
This shows weird. It's a weird watch. It must be
weird watching it again on LA. Does it bring back
some pretty hard cool memories?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
It does? But I love it. I love sitting back
and watching other people do it now that I've like,
now that I've had the opportunity to live it and
win it. Any opportunity I remember, so I remember because
I've done it twice now. In the first season I
did not win. It was hard watching it watching the
season immediately after that one, because I was like, oh, man,
(00:59):
you know, I feel like I've got unfinished business and
I'm watching these people do the thing that I would
love to do. Yeah, but now that I've won, I
can kind of just sit back and enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
You've got closure.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I got closure.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Would you mean the next show you jump out.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I was just about to ask you the same thing.
I always did think I would love to do Dancing
with the Stars.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Sime, But now I think about it. It would be
hard out, Yeah, be hard out.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
And what I learned because we did a few like
TikTok dancers during lockdown, there's like a breakfast show. It
kind of just became out a little outlet. What I've
what I learned was that learning choreographed dance routines is
way harder than you think.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
It looks easy while you're doing it, with this so
much more behind the scenes. Yeah, I would love to
do that. I don't know what show. Do you think
i'd be good on?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I reckon? I mean I would. I would love to
see you on CT. I think you'd be great on Tresland.
You do it last, Yeah, I think you do really well.
The thing what would get you was the hangar. Oh
you know me, you'd be You'd be a weird You'd
be a wee You'd be a wee emosi, you'd be
(02:12):
a little emotion.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
People would see a new side to Peter.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
I don't think a bad side though. You'd be very real.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Oh BJ knows not to talk to me before I've
had a coffee in the morning or before a meal
when I'm hungry. Yeah, you're not you.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
When you're hungry, you'd be you'd be your season's crier.
But then I was my s So you're in good.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Company and they say these lots of cries on this season.
I saw that you were stoked to say that you're
what did you call it, Your legacy is the crier. Yeah,
even people love talking to They're like, oh, there's many. God,
he cried a lot on this show.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I remember Born from Zim said to me like he'd
be doing dishes in the kitchen or whatever, his daughters
would be watching the show, and then he just heard
them yell from the lounge. Dad, He's crying, Oh God,
amazing race.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
That would be you.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
And I would love doing something like the Amazing Race
with you. I would love to do that. That would
be so much.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
What's the premise of that again, you get challenges along
the way.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, you're in teens and you're racing around the world,
and you've got to like do challenges along the way
and then get yourself from me to be kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I would want to be with you. Not against you,
that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Yeah, you'd had to keep up with me because you
know how I I don't like I don't like Dodler's
mate for good TV. But we'd make good TV though.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Or we would make good TV. I would love to
be I really want a host. My dream showed the
host would be like Farmer wants a wife.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Yeah, you would be great at.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
That because I can be like the poster girl. You know,
I'm from the city. I met this farmer. Girls are
um for a treat this year is farmer?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Oh my god, I can see it.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I know, I know. So TVNZ or any other picture
companies that want to pick up far more ONTs of life.
I'm putting my hand up now.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Okay, I've got friends, I've got friends in high places
at TVNZ's.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Well I can put in the word tonight then oh well,
do some drop a seed?
Speaker 2 (04:15):
Oh, schmooze on your behalf tonight.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Thanks, Thanks, I appreciate it. What else is going on?
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Hey, this is this is crazy. We didn't end up
talking about this in the show. But did you hear
about this christ Chooch family that discovered money and their ceiling?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Who do you talk about it briefly, but I don't
know it ins and out.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
So this christ huge family bought a house right. Then
five months later they had an electrician up in the
ceiling doing some work. He found five vacuum sealed plastic
bags filled with mostly twenty and fifty dollar notes covered
and dust hidden in the ceiling. And when they counted
it out, he gave it to the family and when
(04:53):
the family counted it up, it totaled two hundred and
thirty two thousand, four hundred and forty dollars.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Oh my god, what do you think it was up
there for?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I have no idea, Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Like, is it dodgy or is it actually just then
being clever storing it away for a rainy day?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
So police have police think it was generated from criminal activity, right,
there was a gang link to the property previously. The
fact that it was packaged and it was hidden meant
that police are like, this is definitely a dodgy and
so so the police went to the The family went
(05:35):
to the police and said, we've found all this money,
and then police seized it. And now now it's going
through the high courts as to who gets to keep
the money, because you know the family owned the house.
Finders keepers kind of thing, right, except not necessarily, And
so that's where they're in this court case at the moment,
trying to figure out who owns, who owns the money,
(05:57):
and who gets to keep it.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Man, you were put up a good fight to try
and keeper like understandable if you know who the person
is and whatever, sweet you can return it. But they
don't know who it is. They found it on their property.
Surely they've got a strong argument.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yes, except, as someone pointed out, finding and keeping large
amounts of money that likely belonged to criminals does pose
a bit of a safety Do you really want to
be because they know, true, they know where it was hidden.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
That's true. M Anyway, I'd love to come across some
fucking money.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
That'll be nice, real nice, wouldn't it? Would you? Would you?
If you found it? Like I guess the point is
how much like I wonder how much you would have
to find before you just kept it and didn't say anything.
You know, if you found if you found a couple
of hundred bucks in the attic of a house that you.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Just bought, Yeah, you still taking it.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I don't know I'm keeping it. I'm too honest, would
you actually take to Like if you found two hundred
dollars in the attic of a house that you just bought,
would you actually take it?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Probably not? Nah, no, no, No, you're right. What about
five grand?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Five grand? I think that's when you're talking, that's when
you're saying, that's enough money. Do something with a thousand hmm,
cozy living christ.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Living chrisis hard. We all need every time we can get.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yeah, I could really do with a wholid day holiday.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah, play money Soliday. Anyway, Look, it's time for us
to wrap this bad boy up. Coming up in the
podcast today, we talk about family traditions. It really showed
the kind of people that listen to the show. That's
just sure.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yeah, there were some funny ones. Plus I do talk
about some advice that I needed because I'm going to
this Treasure Island launch party tonight and it involves one
of New Zealand's most famous all blacks.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
And we talked about how wildly different your career ended
up being from what you actually st that and more
coming up on the podcast.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
You know, sometimes with families, you think that you have
a normal family until you either witness other families, or
you do something as a family that makes you pause
and go, wait, this is kind of weird what we're
doing right now.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Ignorance is blessed until you step out into the real
world and then you're like, oh, hang it out. Other
people aren't actually doing this.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Well.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I saw a great Facebook status from a guy in
America who said that him and his dad have this
kind of crazy tradition that they do with each other
all the time. Whenever he visits home or he's home
for the holidays or whatever, him and his dad engage
in this tradition that goes back to when he was
(08:54):
a kid. He says, My father and I play this
game in which we both pretend to be attempting to
assassinate each other. When we serve the other food or drink.
Will adopt the most suspicious mannerisms in wording possible, as
though the food were secretly poisoned and we are eagerly
waiting for them to eat it and die. The other
(09:14):
player pretends that they know their food is poisoned, but
must feign ignorance and try to come up with subtle
excuses not to eat or drink it without seeming rude
or directly confronting the other about the attempted slaying. This
to me is wholesome family bonding.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Wholesome family bonding pretending to do an assassination.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
On your dad. So like if he gives his dad
a cup of water, he'll kind of stand back in
the kitchen and like smirk or you know, like against
each other in menacing way, and then his dad will
have to come up with an excuse as to why
he can't drink the glass of water. And it's just
this like weird family tradition that these two have been
(10:00):
doing together forever that he's only realized is weird when
he starts telling other people about it and they go, wait,
you try and you pretend to kill your dad?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
This is do you think about it? I would love
to lement something with our family like going forward? Are
they going to be so cool? But I just haven't
found the right thing. When we were growing up, I
promise we're a normal family. But my dad every Christmas
(10:31):
used to do a nude run and then climb up
onto the pagola and get up.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
On the roof, like specifically in their order.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
He usually so we'd sort of had finished out to
our lunch we'd have like a long Christmas lunch outside
and then we'd be like, oh no, we's Leo gone,
We're dead. And then we see this rustling in the
bushes and he comes out fully know it. And then
sometimes he do variations and have like a mirror and
he'd run with a mirror hiding, or sometimes he'd had
(11:03):
like duct tape around near the regions.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Wasn't wasn't this your Wasn't this your husband Pj's first
introduction to your dad?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yeah? He did, he yeah, he did, he did. Yeah.
So we were away for a weekend in the high
country in Canterbury and dad Dad got no up on
the table and then mom started howling at the moon. Michael. Yeah,
it was a real inside of the family. But you know,
you think it's normal until you start telling story and
(11:32):
it's tradition.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
It's tradition, page, it's just what your dad used to do.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Let's open up the phones and celebrate our weird families
this afternoon. Many in the podcast, we're talking family traditions
the afternoon on eight hundred of hairs. Is this something
weird that goes on in your family. Maybe it's an
annual thing, maybe it's random, but something your family does
(11:58):
is a little bit niche and special.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yeah, I will say this possibly speaks to how many
families are.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Just really weird.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
That the phone board lit up.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
And we're not gonna be able to unfortunately get through
all of the calls, but look we're going to get
through a few, starting with Chelsea, welcome to the show. Hi,
what is your family tradition?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Well, my mum instigates it. But she's got like a
fart machine that attaches, So she attaches it underneath the
table with a little remote that shall hold while everyone
sits down. Or like when we've introduced our partners, like,
oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
It still funny.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
What's it?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
It's still funny after all these years.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Yeah, our family, we're all about the fart.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
We just find how appreciate that?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
How often does it come out else? Like how how
many time like Mon's family dinners at some point?
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Yeah, or everyone will just do real ones and think
that's good.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Oh my god, I'd be so nervous to taking you
fartner home. Aar Le's go to Jenny on head of
the hands, Jenny, what's your family tradition?
Speaker 7 (13:10):
So my dad he will come to our house and
he'll put things in our bed or tie our pajamas
and knots. So you know, after a few drinks some nights,
it's not good.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I love the juvenile nature. Sorry, I love the juvenile
nature of all of these, yes.
Speaker 7 (13:32):
And so, but now my sister does it. So we're
on holiday and my nieces where I was jumped in
on that bandwagon.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
So what gets put? What gets put in the bed? Jenny,
anything and everything.
Speaker 7 (13:45):
So we would just shout for tea a little while ago,
quite a flash place, and the head towels in the
bathroom were really sick and amazing, so dead top one.
We get home and he's put that at my sister.
He sounds like a care what's a better A laugh?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I love that, brilliant.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
We've got to help it coming your way. Let's go
to Kim and tod Hi kem.
Speaker 8 (14:12):
Hi, guys, So we have a messenger group chair where
we've seen pictures of our pose to each other.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
I was gonna say, all right, are we going to
keep in tone with the juvenile nature? Oh my god,
your whole family.
Speaker 8 (14:31):
It was myself, my partner, my daughter, my niece, my
son was involved in it. But his your friend didn't like.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
That he's out.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
And how like every daily a daily group chair?
Speaker 8 (14:43):
Oh yeah, can be daily or yeah, it just deppends
on your post.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
That's a good one.
Speaker 8 (14:48):
You want to shout up.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Are you even like, oh, oh, hey's sick. That's not
a good one. Maybe you should go to the doctor.
Speaker 8 (14:55):
Dah, No, we don't think.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Oh I don't think of that.
Speaker 7 (14:59):
I just laugh it off.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Oh my god, wow, Okay, thank you so much making
our families feel quite many and PJ the podcast been
a bit of that lately. Thunder on the hat sets
imagine dragons with many bit of a bit of a
niche comment there, but we've had design many thunderstorms the
(15:22):
last week in radio.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
You try with the segways as hard as you can,
don't you do your best? Poge, you gave it. You
be sure. The People's Poll, the People's Poll, everybody comes together.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
It's the People's Pole.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
All right.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
It is time for another trivial question on People's Poll.
And we put this up on our Instagram page. Every
day you can weigh in on our story on the
hat drive of Matty MPJ. And the question today is.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
This comes off the back of an article from overseas
about a social media star called Jake Shane who is
beefing with a restaurant called Sugarfish. Now, it's not as
serious beef, but he is having a little bit of
a fun back and forth with this restaurant online.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Having a laugh mate.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Whether or not you are allowed as an adult to
go to a restaurant and order off the kids.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Menu, it's never been for me. I do have a
kid now, and I have started getting things off the
kids menu, and I do sometimes have a little pick
out of his plate. But no, I'm gonna stick to
I'm gonna stick firmly to know it should just be
for kids.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I think it's fine because sometimes you go along to
a restaurant and you're socializing with friends and you don't
want to order the big expense of main Sometimes you
just want the little cheap and cheerful nuggies and chips.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Can I just tell you, I think it's as cheap
as cheerful as it used to be back in the day.
It was like ten bucks. Today she was pushing twenty
for little kids.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Mean you item, I bet, But then you think about
sometimes how much you're paying for an adult. That is
true and sometimes that's true, if you're not that hungry
or you don't want to spend that much money, I
think it's there. You know, there's no rhyme or reason
as to why you shouldn't be allowed to order it
as an adult, not.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Just a little bit embarrassing as embarrassed instant, sure, but
that they come out the plate with nuggets and a
big bit of saws and chips.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I'm not saying I would ever do it. I'm just
advocating for the opportunity to be able to do it
should I catch it?
Speaker 1 (17:38):
So is that question should you be able to? Or
do you?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
I think should you be able to? But I want
to hear from people that have.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Okay, so you can weigh in right now. If you've
got a strong opinion on this topic, you can call
up oh eight hundred hats. But otherwise we want to
know should you be able to order off? The kids
mean you as an adult? There is that question. You
can take through now for for eight seven for today's
people People's Pole, and we'll come.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Back the results many in the podcast, the heads.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
The People's Poll, the People's Poll, everybody comes together.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
It's the People's Pole.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I think we've got almost one hundred percent years on
this just looking quickly at the TEXTU Shane. We've been
asking the question today for the People's Pole. Should you
be able to order off the kids mean you Are's
an adult, simple question, clean cut yes or no.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
People are very passionate one way or the other. This
comes off the back of an influencer and social media
star in Americas having a bit of beef with a
restaurant called Sugarfish because he wanted to order off the
kids menu, and people and the restaurant said no, no, no,
you can't do that. That's not allowed.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
There's like that wouldn't happen here in New Zealand. I
don't think. I don't think they could actually reject you
from ordering off the kids menu, could they?
Speaker 9 (18:54):
No?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
They they can frown and judge you.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
But yeah, although someone on the text machine has said
that some places do have age limits written on the
kids menu. Really yeah, I guess it's like it might
say like for twelve and under, there's no having to
pass an eleven year old.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Someone also said we've started ordering off the scene is
menu as you get a three course meal for a
cheaper price. The portions are smaller, which suits us too.
It's hilarious. Watch are serving uncomfortable to ask our age?
Not sure if we get away with the kids menu though,
Let's go to the fines. Julie is joining us, d
Hi Julie.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Hello, Well, I would have to say that the restaurants
should there, but use a friendly because quite often people
don't feel like a big meal. And you know, a
sale is a sale, and as long as you're sort
of sticking to their rules and not ordering, you know,
that's on the side that are for the main meals
(19:55):
and all that sort of thing. And the other thing
that comes into it is cost of living. Really, you
know what about those people that can't afford to get
a main meal as you know, due course to go
out in social.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Totally that is true.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Go order yourself a slice of pizza and some chips
at the restaurant.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I reckon, Fiona, just quickly, one hundred the hairs you
want to weigh in as well?
Speaker 6 (20:24):
Yeah, you should be able to.
Speaker 10 (20:27):
I mean if I order an adult meal and I
can't eat it, which is normal, then I get a
doggy bag. So it's costing the money anyway. With a
doggy bag so yeah, just let.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
You order the smaller meal in the first place. YEP,
I get it, I get it, I get it to you.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
The only thing is with Keats news is only like
usually like a fish and chap.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
It's limited.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Couldn't you do small? I think maybe this is extra
quite a restaurants. But couldn't you do small portions, medium portions,
larger portions? Or is that really niggly? Now the chefs
are rolling their eyes at me.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
If we look at the if we look at the
votes on the text machine and the Instagram poll on
the medi and PJ hits Drive Instagram page, seventy eight
percent say yeah, go for gold.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Or love your best life. Go love your best nugget life.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Maddy and PJ.
Speaker 9 (21:22):
Madi and PJ the podcast The Heads Battles.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Of the Heads, and it's time for another round of
Battle of the Heads. If you don't know how this works,
Every week we are assigned with an artist and then
Meddi and I have to go to the drawing board
and work out what song we believe is said artist's
best single. Now, this week we have been given Katie Perry,
(21:49):
who of course has a new album called One for
Three coming out on the twentieth of September. So we thought,
look LEAs reminist on some of Katie's old bangers and
come to the table with what we believe is her best. Nah,
I don't okay. There are a few songs I was
really tossing up with short and I've gone with a
(22:09):
track that was from her fourth studio album, Prism, which
came out in twenty six thirteen. The song was released
as the album's fifth and final single. It features synth
squiggles and melodic dots as its main instrumentation and makes
you just want to hang out with your friends, which
is what the song is ultimately about. My track the
(22:31):
Katie Perry, which I am fully backing this afternoon, is
this is how we do do do. I was just thinking, look,
we play a lot of Katy Pierry on the hands,
and I wanted to go for one that we don't
always play. Yes, teenage Dream possibly could have won it
(22:53):
for me if I chose to pick that, but I
wanted to go for one that we haven't heard in
a while.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Teenage Dream is good, fire work is great, raw. This
is how we do all fantastic Katy Perry songs, But
for my pick for Battle of the Hits this weekend.
This week, I am taking you back to where it
all began her studio album One of the Boys, released
(23:19):
in two thousand and eight. This song is often considered
her best, most popular successful song. It is bold. It
is irresistible pop at its best. It was audacious, it
was daring. It fresh, broke the mold of what pop
music was expected to be. It was a juggernaut, commercially,
(23:39):
topping the charts in more than twenty countries. It held
the number one spot for seven consecutive weeks. It also
launched her into super stardom. My pick for Battle of
the Hits, Katy Perry this week is Kissed a Girl.
Speaker 9 (23:57):

for this week it is I Kissed a Girl. Enjoy
New Zealand many podcast I need some help page.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
So you don't know why you come to me for
help when I give out the worst advice.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
No no, no, no, no no. You're good at the
advice giving. I like yours.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
It's head or mass. You never know what you're gonna get.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
You know those moments in life that are kind of
like core memories, like the things that no matter how
early it happened or how long ago it happened, You
just vividly remember it.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Yes, one of my I remember, one of my.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Core memories is as an eleven year old and I
lived in Queenstown, grew up in Queenstown, and the All
Blacks were having a training camp in Queenstown. So this
would have been second in ninety seven ninety eight, And
it's wild to think about now, but the local newspaper,
the Mountain Scene in Queenstown at the time, host had
(30:18):
a little competition in the in the newspaper for locals,
you could enter a competition to host a couple of
the All Blacks for dinner at your house. They got
like billeted to your house. And my best friend at
the time, her family won, were one of the winners.
I think they pet five families and each family got
(30:40):
two All Blacks billeted out to them. Crazy and my
best friend's family got Christian Cullen and Andrew Mertens billeted
to their house for the the wow for the whole night.
And because she was my best friend, I got invited
to the house for dinner. So I got to go
and have dinner as an eleven year old with two
(31:02):
of arguably two of the best all blacks we have
ever had, Christian Cullen and Andrew You know, I don't
even know a lot about rugby, and even I know
how good those guys are.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
They're big, big names, They're big names in the game.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Christian Cullen and Andrew Mutens taught me how to play
the card game Ka's and A's.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Okay, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
And it's just it is to this day one of
these core memories for me. So here's the thing. Christian
Cullen has just been announced as one of the latest
contestants on Celebrity Trees of Island.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Yes, I can't wait to see anyone.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
So he's going to be great, And tonight I'm going
to the launch party, and I am wondering is it
the kind of thing because for me, it's just like
it is such a vivid memory. I'm so curious to
know if Christian Cullen remembers this moment or is this
just so inconsequential in his life that he won't even
(32:05):
register with him. So my question is do I bring
it up with Christian culin tonight when I see it.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
It's one of those moments like ignorance could be bliss
here and you just carry on with your life thinking
that he has the same reciprocated admiration for you. And
it was like this beautiful two way street and he'll
have that memory forever. However, I mean when you think
about how many people he would have met over the years,
(32:34):
and how many pr things he would have done, and
you know he would have been a busy guy. I
I don't know if you want to ruin that moment for.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
You so that you think it's best if I just
hold on to the memory as a core memory and
assume that he does remember it.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
But at the same time, if he did remember, it'd
be so.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Sound and curiosity killed, Like I'm you know me, I
can't I'm just so curious. I need to have the
answer now.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Screen, you've got to ask him. I reckon, you just
dive in head first. But maybe you need to open
with some good small too small to maybe people can
text him four four eight seven if you've got a
good opening line for what Meddy can say to Christian Colin.
Because let's be honest, your rugby knowledge doesn't be not great.
So have you got any good small band that you
Reckon will get Christian Collen warmed up tonight text through
(33:23):
for eight seven and we'll reveal on the show tomorrow
if Christian Culen remembers playing cards with Maddie when he
was eleven years old.
Speaker 9 (33:34):
Maddy and PG, Maddy and PJ, the podcast heads.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
We were talking earlier in the show about my history
with all Black Christian Colin. He came round to my
best friend's house, won a competition back in nineteen ninety
seven to host him for dinner, and I got invited
around to dinner as well. So I had dinner with
Christian Cullen.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
I didn't realize how intimate the experience was. He taught
you how to play k and a card game, card.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Game it was and it lasted hours, like they were
there for so long. We had dinner, we had drinks,
and yeah, it was amazing.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
I was giving a bit of grief about this earlier,
going mate think about all the people that he would
have had interactions with over the year in his career.
But you know what I've been simmering on it. I
think that that actually could be a stand up moment
for him in his life as well.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Someone did text into four four eight seven and said
one hundred percent ask if he remembers who wouldn't remember
being billeted and teaching a couple of kids k's and
as the point experience, good point.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
So we wanted your chat like best chat starters for
many because rugby is not like your favorite thing in
the world, to be honest.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
No, except someone has reminded me that Christian Cullen used
to play for Plymoton. He's from Plymoton, just north of Wellington,
and before I moved to Queens Sound, I lived for
the first six years of my life in Wellington and
I was a paramount of plymittin direct pirate a rugby play.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
There you go, well, there you go. There's the perfect end.
So there is he going to say that organically?
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Hey shall I preside? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:09):
I'll be like good a mate, Christian Maddy. I think
I've seen you on the telly. You still on the telly?
Speaker 2 (35:14):
No? No, no, I'm doing the radio thing now. Oh nice,
but fun fair Christian, because you used to live in
plymutin I was a paramiedt of plymotin pirate, an underrate pirate.
I played rugby mate in Plymoton.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Not actually upon upon doing this activity I think you
need to go straight into I played cards with you once.
I think that's going to grab as attention more rather
than a fumbling cot I played rugby with the Plymurtin. No,
I think you've got to just say, hey, mate, do
you remember when we played cards and I was eleven
years old and you did that bulleting thing.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
I think you just cut straight to the chat, lose
the rugby chair.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
I cannot wait to hear how it goes. We'll find
out everything that went down with Maddy reunites with Christian
Collen tonight on the show Tomorrow.
Speaker 9 (36:01):
Maddy, MPJ, Mady and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
This is Sarah. I know you're very excited because I
have just assigned you the task of playing some appropriate
Taylor Swift music in the background, your absolute favorite of
all time. Can you set the scene, please, Sarah. Big
news out today, AUT's School of Communications Studies has just
(36:27):
launched Australasia's first Taylor Swift course. No, this is not
a joke. This is following the success. Look at her,
she's already got advantage. Really so, this has happened overseas
and it was really popular amongst college classes in the States.
And they realized, hey, we're onto something here. So it's
called Taylor Swift Communications Professional, and it dives into how
(36:52):
Taylor has just absolutely dominated the music industry for eighteen
years or more. And it's not even just about the music.
It's also about Hush communicates with their fans and how
she came to brand fresh and her fans.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
So this is a legit academic course into the power
that is Taylor Swift the machine.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Yeah, it's not like a full on like UNI degree,
but it's open to everyone, from high school students keen
for you know, an early intro into UNI, to working
pros looking to just expand their Taylor knowledge.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
Producer Sarah, are you going to spend your summer?
Speaker 1 (37:30):
I've already signed up. Sorry, it's going to be running
from eighteenth and I've ever to thirteenth of December, which
is Taylor's birthday. They're obviously playing on the Clever Marketing Tools.
Classes will be three days a week, so it's quite
a bat there's quite a bit of commitment. You'd have
to be committed to the cause. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (37:48):

Like what's the end game.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
With a lot of.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
The summer, we can be here.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
To be fair and I look, I think in Advens
it's a great thing that, let's be honest, people do
degrees and they don't end up doing that. You know
a lot of people do spend a lot of years
studying and then end up doing something totally different. I wait,
a hundred of the hats. Maybe this has been you.
Maybe you studied something, You've got a degree or a diploma,
and something you ended up and it usually different career.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
You'd hope if that was the case, you hadn't done
the full PhD. You know, you hadn't seen years at UNI,
and then thought, actually, ain't for me.
Speaker 1 (38:35):
No, I reckon, you will get people like that, people
studying medicine, so all the heart, Yes, I reckon. I'm
sure they're out there. I wait, a hundred of hats.

Australasia's first Taylor Swift course, following the success of similar
classes over in the US. It studies Taylor's music over

just essentially how she has dominated the industry so much
a long time.

This shows weird. It's a weird watch. It must be
weird watching it again on LA. Does it bring back
some pretty hard cool memories?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
It does? But I love it. I love sitting back
and watching other people do it now that I've like,
now that I've had the opportunity to live it and
win it. Any opportunity I remember, so I remember because
I've done it twice now. In the first season I
did not win. It was hard watching it watching the
season immediately after that one, because I was like, oh, man,
(00:59):
you know, I feel like I've got unfinished business and
I'm watching these people do the thing that I would
love to do. Yeah, but now that I've won, I
can kind of just sit back and enjoy it.
Speaker 1 (01:07):
You've got closure.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I got closure.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Would you mean the next show you jump out.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I was just about to ask you the same thing.
I always did think I would love to do Dancing
with the Stars.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Sime, But now I think about it. It would be
hard out, Yeah, be hard out.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
And what I learned because we did a few like
TikTok dancers during lockdown, there's like a breakfast show. It
kind of just became out a little outlet. What I've
what I learned was that learning choreographed dance routines is
way harder than you think.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
It looks easy while you're doing it, with this so
much more behind the scenes. Yeah, I would love to
do that. I don't know what show. Do you think
i'd be good on?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
I reckon? I mean I would. I would love to
see you on CT. I think you'd be great on Tresland.
You do it last, Yeah, I think you do really well.
The thing what would get you was the hangar. Oh
you know me, you'd be You'd be a weird You'd
be a wee You'd be a wee emosi, you'd be
(02:12):
a little emotion.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
People would see a new side to Peter.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
I don't think a bad side though. You'd be very real.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Oh BJ knows not to talk to me before I've
had a coffee in the morning or before a meal
when I'm hungry. Yeah, you're not you.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
When you're hungry, you'd be you'd be your season's crier.
But then I was my s So you're in good.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Company and they say these lots of cries on this season.
I saw that you were stoked to say that you're
what did you call it, Your legacy is the crier. Yeah,
even people love talking to They're like, oh, there's many. God,
he cried a lot on this show.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I remember Born from Zim said to me like he'd
be doing dishes in the kitchen or whatever, his daughters
would be watching the show, and then he just heard
them yell from the lounge. Dad, He's crying, Oh God,
amazing race.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
That would be you.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
And I would love doing something like the Amazing Race
with you. I would love to do that. That would
be so much.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
What's the premise of that again, you get challenges along
the way.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, you're in teens and you're racing around the world,
and you've got to like do challenges along the way
and then get yourself from me to be kind of thing.

know how I I don't like I don't like Dodler's
mate for good TV. But we'd make good TV though.

host would be like Farmer wants a wife.

talking about this in the show. But did you hear
about this christ Chooch family that discovered money and their ceiling?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Who do you talk about it briefly, but I don't
know it ins and out.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
So this christ huge family bought a house right. Then
five months later they had an electrician up in the
ceiling doing some work. He found five vacuum sealed plastic
bags filled with mostly twenty and fifty dollar notes covered
and dust hidden in the ceiling. And when they counted
it out, he gave it to the family and when
(04:53):
the family counted it up, it totaled two hundred and
thirty two thousand, four hundred and forty dollars.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Oh my god, what do you think it was up
there for?
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I have no idea, Wow.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Like, is it dodgy or is it actually just then
being clever storing it away for a rainy day?
Speaker 2 (05:13):
So police have police think it was generated from criminal activity, right,
there was a gang link to the property previously. The
fact that it was packaged and it was hidden meant
that police are like, this is definitely a dodgy and
so so the police went to the The family went
(05:35):
to the police and said, we've found all this money,
and then police seized it. And now now it's going
through the high courts as to who gets to keep
the money, because you know the family owned the house.
Finders keepers kind of thing, right, except not necessarily, And
so that's where they're in this court case at the moment,
trying to figure out who owns, who owns the money,
(05:57):
and who gets to keep it.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Man, you were put up a good fight to try
and keeper like understandable if you know who the person
is and whatever, sweet you can return it. But they
don't know who it is. They found it on their property.
Surely they've got a strong argument.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yes, except, as someone pointed out, finding and keeping large
amounts of money that likely belonged to criminals does pose
a bit of a safety Do you really want to
be because they know, true, they know where it was hidden.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
That's true. M Anyway, I'd love to come across some
fucking money.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
That'll be nice, real nice, wouldn't it? Would you? Would you?
If you found it? Like I guess the point is
how much like I wonder how much you would have
to find before you just kept it and didn't say anything.
You know, if you found if you found a couple
of hundred bucks in the attic of a house that you.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Just bought, Yeah, you still taking it.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I don't know I'm keeping it. I'm too honest, would
you actually take to Like if you found two hundred
dollars in the attic of a house that you just bought,
would you actually take it?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Probably not? Nah, no, no, No, you're right. What about
five grand?
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Five grand? I think that's when you're talking, that's when
you're saying, that's enough money. Do something with a thousand hmm,
cozy living christ.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Living chrisis hard. We all need every time we can get.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Yeah, I could really do with a wholid day holiday.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
Yeah, play money Soliday. Anyway, Look, it's time for us
to wrap this bad boy up. Coming up in the
podcast today, we talk about family traditions. It really showed
the kind of people that listen to the show. That's
just sure.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Yeah, there were some funny ones. Plus I do talk
about some advice that I needed because I'm going to
this Treasure Island launch party tonight and it involves one
of New Zealand's most famous all blacks.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
And we talked about how wildly different your career ended
up being from what you actually st that and more
coming up on the podcast.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
Enjoy the podcast.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
You know, sometimes with families, you think that you have
a normal family until you either witness other families, or
you do something as a family that makes you pause
and go, wait, this is kind of weird what we're
doing right now.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Ignorance is blessed until you step out into the real
world and then you're like, oh, hang it out. Other
people aren't actually doing this.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
Well.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
I saw a great Facebook status from a guy in
America who said that him and his dad have this
kind of crazy tradition that they do with each other
all the time. Whenever he visits home or he's home
for the holidays or whatever, him and his dad engage
in this tradition that goes back to when he was
(08:54):
a kid. He says, My father and I play this
game in which we both pretend to be attempting to
assassinate each other. When we serve the other food or drink.
Will adopt the most suspicious mannerisms in wording possible, as
though the food were secretly poisoned and we are eagerly
waiting for them to eat it and die. The other
(09:14):
player pretends that they know their food is poisoned, but
must feign ignorance and try to come up with subtle
excuses not to eat or drink it without seeming rude
or directly confronting the other about the attempted slaying. This
to me is wholesome family bonding.
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Wholesome family bonding pretending to do an assassination.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
On your dad. So like if he gives his dad
a cup of water, he'll kind of stand back in
the kitchen and like smirk or you know, like against
each other in menacing way, and then his dad will
have to come up with an excuse as to why
he can't drink the glass of water. And it's just
this like weird family tradition that these two have been
(10:00):
doing together forever that he's only realized is weird when
he starts telling other people about it and they go, wait,
you try and you pretend to kill your dad?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
This is do you think about it? I would love
to lement something with our family like going forward? Are
they going to be so cool? But I just haven't
found the right thing. When we were growing up, I
promise we're a normal family. But my dad every Christmas
(10:31):
used to do a nude run and then climb up
onto the pagola and get up.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
On the roof, like specifically in their order.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
He usually so we'd sort of had finished out to
our lunch we'd have like a long Christmas lunch outside
and then we'd be like, oh no, we's Leo gone,
We're dead. And then we see this rustling in the
bushes and he comes out fully know it. And then
sometimes he do variations and have like a mirror and
he'd run with a mirror hiding, or sometimes he'd had
(11:03):
like duct tape around near the regions.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Wasn't wasn't this your Wasn't this your husband Pj's first
introduction to your dad?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yeah? He did, he yeah, he did, he did. Yeah.
So we were away for a weekend in the high
country in Canterbury and dad Dad got no up on
the table and then mom started howling at the moon. Michael. Yeah,
it was a real inside of the family. But you know,
you think it's normal until you start telling story and
(11:32):
it's tradition.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
It's tradition, page, it's just what your dad used to do.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Let's open up the phones and celebrate our weird families
this afternoon. Many in the podcast, we're talking family traditions
the afternoon on eight hundred of hairs. Is this something
weird that goes on in your family. Maybe it's an
annual thing, maybe it's random, but something your family does
(11:58):
is a little bit niche and special.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yeah, I will say this possibly speaks to how many
families are.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Just really weird.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
That the phone board lit up.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
And we're not gonna be able to unfortunately get through
all of the calls, but look we're going to get
through a few, starting with Chelsea, welcome to the show. Hi,
what is your family tradition?
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Well, my mum instigates it. But she's got like a
fart machine that attaches, So she attaches it underneath the
table with a little remote that shall hold while everyone
sits down. Or like when we've introduced our partners, like,
oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
It still funny.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
What's it?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
It's still funny after all these years.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
Yeah, our family, we're all about the fart.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
We just find how appreciate that?
Speaker 2 (12:52):
How often does it come out else? Like how how
many time like Mon's family dinners at some point?
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Yeah, or everyone will just do real ones and think
that's good.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Oh my god, I'd be so nervous to taking you
fartner home. Aar Le's go to Jenny on head of
the hands, Jenny, what's your family tradition?
Speaker 7 (13:10):
So my dad he will come to our house and
he'll put things in our bed or tie our pajamas
and knots. So you know, after a few drinks some nights,
it's not good.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I love the juvenile nature. Sorry, I love the juvenile
nature of all of these, yes.
Speaker 7 (13:32):
And so, but now my sister does it. So we're
on holiday and my nieces where I was jumped in
on that bandwagon.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
So what gets put? What gets put in the bed? Jenny,
anything and everything.
Speaker 7 (13:45):
So we would just shout for tea a little while ago,
quite a flash place, and the head towels in the
bathroom were really sick and amazing, so dead top one.
We get home and he's put that at my sister.
He sounds like a care what's a better A laugh?
Speaker 2 (14:04):
I love that, brilliant.
Speaker 1 (14:06):
We've got to help it coming your way. Let's go
to Kim and tod Hi kem.
Speaker 8 (14:12):
Hi, guys, So we have a messenger group chair where
we've seen pictures of our pose to each other.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
I was gonna say, all right, are we going to
keep in tone with the juvenile nature? Oh my god,
your whole family.
Speaker 8 (14:31):
It was myself, my partner, my daughter, my niece, my
son was involved in it. But his your friend didn't like.
Speaker 6 (14:35):
That he's out.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
And how like every daily a daily group chair?
Speaker 8 (14:43):
Oh yeah, can be daily or yeah, it just deppends
on your post.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
That's a good one.
Speaker 8 (14:48):
You want to shout up.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Are you even like, oh, oh, hey's sick. That's not
a good one. Maybe you should go to the doctor.
Speaker 8 (14:55):
Dah, No, we don't think.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Oh I don't think of that.
Speaker 7 (14:59):
I just laugh it off.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Oh my god, wow, Okay, thank you so much making
our families feel quite many and PJ the podcast been
a bit of that lately. Thunder on the hat sets
imagine dragons with many bit of a bit of a
niche comment there, but we've had design many thunderstorms the
(15:22):
last week in radio.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
You try with the segways as hard as you can,
don't you do your best? Poge, you gave it. You
be sure. The People's Poll, the People's Poll, everybody comes together.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
It's the People's Pole.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
All right.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
It is time for another trivial question on People's Poll.
And we put this up on our Instagram page. Every
day you can weigh in on our story on the
hat drive of Matty MPJ. And the question today is.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
This comes off the back of an article from overseas
about a social media star called Jake Shane who is
beefing with a restaurant called Sugarfish. Now, it's not as
serious beef, but he is having a little bit of
a fun back and forth with this restaurant online.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
Having a laugh mate.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Whether or not you are allowed as an adult to
go to a restaurant and order off the kids.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
Menu, it's never been for me. I do have a
kid now, and I have started getting things off the
kids menu, and I do sometimes have a little pick
out of his plate. But no, I'm gonna stick to
I'm gonna stick firmly to know it should just be
for kids.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I think it's fine because sometimes you go along to
a restaurant and you're socializing with friends and you don't
want to order the big expense of main Sometimes you
just want the little cheap and cheerful nuggies and chips.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Can I just tell you, I think it's as cheap
as cheerful as it used to be back in the day.
It was like ten bucks. Today she was pushing twenty
for little kids.
Speaker 2 (17:01):
Mean you item, I bet, But then you think about
sometimes how much you're paying for an adult. That is
true and sometimes that's true, if you're not that hungry
or you don't want to spend that much money, I
think it's there. You know, there's no rhyme or reason
as to why you shouldn't be allowed to order it
as an adult, not.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Just a little bit embarrassing as embarrassed instant, sure, but
that they come out the plate with nuggets and a
big bit of saws and chips.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I'm not saying I would ever do it. I'm just
advocating for the opportunity to be able to do it
should I catch it?
Speaker 1 (17:38):
So is that question should you be able to? Or
do you?
Speaker 2 (17:42):
I think should you be able to? But I want
to hear from people that have.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Okay, so you can weigh in right now. If you've
got a strong opinion on this topic, you can call
up oh eight hundred hats. But otherwise we want to
know should you be able to order off? The kids
mean you as an adult? There is that question. You
can take through now for for eight seven for today's
people People's Pole, and we'll come.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Back the results many in the podcast, the heads.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
The People's Poll, the People's Poll, everybody comes together.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
It's the People's Pole.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I think we've got almost one hundred percent years on
this just looking quickly at the TEXTU Shane. We've been
asking the question today for the People's Pole. Should you
be able to order off the kids mean you Are's
an adult, simple question, clean cut yes or no.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
People are very passionate one way or the other. This
comes off the back of an influencer and social media
star in Americas having a bit of beef with a
restaurant called Sugarfish because he wanted to order off the
kids menu, and people and the restaurant said no, no, no,
you can't do that. That's not allowed.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
There's like that wouldn't happen here in New Zealand. I
don't think. I don't think they could actually reject you
from ordering off the kids menu, could they?
Speaker 9 (18:54):
No?
Speaker 2 (18:54):
I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
They they can frown and judge you.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
But yeah, although someone on the text machine has said
that some places do have age limits written on the
kids menu. Really yeah, I guess it's like it might
say like for twelve and under, there's no having to
pass an eleven year old.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
Someone also said we've started ordering off the scene is
menu as you get a three course meal for a
cheaper price. The portions are smaller, which suits us too.
It's hilarious. Watch are serving uncomfortable to ask our age?
Not sure if we get away with the kids menu though,
Let's go to the fines. Julie is joining us, d
Hi Julie.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Hello, Well, I would have to say that the restaurants
should there, but use a friendly because quite often people
don't feel like a big meal. And you know, a
sale is a sale, and as long as you're sort
of sticking to their rules and not ordering, you know,
that's on the side that are for the main meals
(19:55):
and all that sort of thing. And the other thing
that comes into it is cost of living. Really, you
know what about those people that can't afford to get
a main meal as you know, due course to go
out in social.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Totally that is true.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Go order yourself a slice of pizza and some chips
at the restaurant.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
I reckon, Fiona, just quickly, one hundred the hairs you
want to weigh in as well?
Speaker 6 (20:24):
Yeah, you should be able to.
Speaker 10 (20:27):
I mean if I order an adult meal and I
can't eat it, which is normal, then I get a
doggy bag. So it's costing the money anyway. With a
doggy bag so yeah, just let.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
You order the smaller meal in the first place. YEP,
I get it, I get it, I get it to you.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
The only thing is with Keats news is only like
usually like a fish and chap.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
It's limited.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Couldn't you do small? I think maybe this is extra
quite a restaurants. But couldn't you do small portions, medium portions,
larger portions? Or is that really niggly? Now the chefs
are rolling their eyes at me.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
If we look at the if we look at the
votes on the text machine and the Instagram poll on
the medi and PJ hits Drive Instagram page, seventy eight
percent say yeah, go for gold.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Or love your best life. Go love your best nugget life.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Maddy and PJ.
Speaker 9 (21:22):
Madi and PJ the podcast The Heads Battles.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
Of the Heads, and it's time for another round of
Battle of the Heads. If you don't know how this works,
Every week we are assigned with an artist and then
Meddi and I have to go to the drawing board
and work out what song we believe is said artist's
best single. Now, this week we have been given Katie Perry,
(21:49):
who of course has a new album called One for
Three coming out on the twentieth of September. So we thought,
look LEAs reminist on some of Katie's old bangers and
come to the table with what we believe is her best. Nah,
I don't okay. There are a few songs I was
really tossing up with short and I've gone with a
(22:09):
track that was from her fourth studio album, Prism, which
came out in twenty six thirteen. The song was released
as the album's fifth and final single. It features synth
squiggles and melodic dots as its main instrumentation and makes
you just want to hang out with your friends, which
is what the song is ultimately about. My track the
(22:31):
Katie Perry, which I am fully backing this afternoon, is
this is how we do do do. I was just thinking, look,
we play a lot of Katy Pierry on the hands,
and I wanted to go for one that we don't
always play. Yes, teenage Dream possibly could have won it
(22:53):
for me if I chose to pick that, but I
wanted to go for one that we haven't heard in
a while.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Teenage Dream is good, fire work is great, raw. This
is how we do all fantastic Katy Perry songs, But
for my pick for Battle of the Hits this weekend.
This week, I am taking you back to where it
all began her studio album One of the Boys, released
(23:19):
in two thousand and eight. This song is often considered
her best, most popular successful song. It is bold. It
is irresistible pop at its best. It was audacious, it
was daring. It fresh, broke the mold of what pop
music was expected to be. It was a juggernaut, commercially,
(23:39):
topping the charts in more than twenty countries. It held
the number one spot for seven consecutive weeks. It also
launched her into super stardom. My pick for Battle of
the Hits, Katy Perry this week is Kissed a Girl.
Speaker 9 (23:57):
As Jerry chats.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Kiss, I totally forgot about that one. I literally forgot
about like the song which threw her and supersive stardom. Wow, okay,
so og Katy Perry. That is Maddy's choice this week
with eye Kissed a Girl. You can start texting your
votes to four four eight seven either Matty or PJ.
(24:24):
I have gone for This Is How We Do, which
is another great banger off her album Prism. Who do
you want to vote for this week? Start calling right now, oh,
eight hundred the Hats, because we need to choose who
plays this song in its entirety and the best of
three will win today. So cast your vote right now
on eight hundred the Hits, Team Maddy or Team PJ
(24:45):
for this week's Battle of the Hits Katie Perry Edition
Mady and.
Speaker 4 (24:49):
PJ the podcast The Heads Battle of the Heads.
Speaker 1 (24:59):
All right, the artist this week is Katie Perry. Of course,
she's got a new album called One for Three coming
urts very soon. September twenty is the release date, and
it got us thinking, let's get her on, not literally
for a tap that'll be nice, Artie, get her on
for a battle of this.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
We would have of Katie, if you're listening, we'd love
to prepare to you.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Yeah, you're welcome anytime. So I came to the table
with a song that hasn't been blasted on the radio hapes,
but it is a banger from her album Prism. It's
called this Is How We Do, This Is How We.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
Do, and I took it all the way back to
two thousand and eight, this song that catapulted her into stardom.
It is I Kissed a Girl.
Speaker 1 (25:51):
It's okay before we go to the bokes. I know
one undred has producessary. You've got a confession regarding the
overall score.
Speaker 11 (26:00):
Yeah, so I just kind of went through back through
my notes, just double chicking the thing was right, and
I think I might may have done some misclculating. Now
I just quickly worked this out, but I am going
to properly calculate before next Wednesday. Okay, okay, it accurate.
I'm so sorry my maths. I think it's a tie
right now. It's looking at twelve twelve.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Oh okay, just don't add any more tension. We're already
computed enough as okay, So best of three on the phones,
we will play out the winning song and its entirety.
Al mare, Good afternoon.

to go to team PJ. Now, after hearing Juliet cell Rochelle,

New Zealand many podcast I need some help page.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
So you don't know why you come to me for
help when I give out the worst advice.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
No no, no, no, no no. You're good at the
advice giving. I like yours.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
It's head or mass. You never know what you're gonna get.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
You know those moments in life that are kind of
like core memories, like the things that no matter how
early it happened or how long ago it happened, You
just vividly remember it.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Yes, one of my I remember, one of my.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Core memories is as an eleven year old and I
lived in Queenstown, grew up in Queenstown, and the All
Blacks were having a training camp in Queenstown. So this
would have been second in ninety seven ninety eight, And
it's wild to think about now, but the local newspaper,
the Mountain Scene in Queenstown at the time, host had
(30:18):
a little competition in the in the newspaper for locals,
you could enter a competition to host a couple of
the All Blacks for dinner at your house. They got
like billeted to your house. And my best friend at
the time, her family won, were one of the winners.
I think they pet five families and each family got
(30:40):
two All Blacks billeted out to them. Crazy and my
best friend's family got Christian Cullen and Andrew Mertens billeted
to their house for the the wow for the whole night.
And because she was my best friend, I got invited
to the house for dinner. So I got to go
and have dinner as an eleven year old with two
(31:02):
of arguably two of the best all blacks we have
ever had, Christian Cullen and Andrew You know, I don't
even know a lot about rugby, and even I know
how good those guys are.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
They're big, big names, They're big names in the game.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
Christian Cullen and Andrew Mutens taught me how to play
the card game Ka's and A's.
Speaker 1 (31:24):
Okay, yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (31:29):
And it's just it is to this day one of
these core memories for me. So here's the thing. Christian
Cullen has just been announced as one of the latest
contestants on Celebrity Trees of Island.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Yes, I can't wait to see anyone.
Speaker 2 (31:42):
So he's going to be great, And tonight I'm going
to the launch party, and I am wondering is it
the kind of thing because for me, it's just like
it is such a vivid memory. I'm so curious to
know if Christian Cullen remembers this moment or is this
just so inconsequential in his life that he won't even
(32:05):
register with him. So my question is do I bring
it up with Christian culin tonight when I see it.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
It's one of those moments like ignorance could be bliss
here and you just carry on with your life thinking
that he has the same reciprocated admiration for you. And
it was like this beautiful two way street and he'll
have that memory forever. However, I mean when you think
about how many people he would have met over the years,
(32:34):
and how many pr things he would have done, and
you know he would have been a busy guy. I
I don't know if you want to ruin that moment for.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
You so that you think it's best if I just
hold on to the memory as a core memory and
assume that he does remember it.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
But at the same time, if he did remember, it'd
be so.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Sound and curiosity killed, Like I'm you know me, I
can't I'm just so curious. I need to have the
answer now.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Screen, you've got to ask him. I reckon, you just
dive in head first. But maybe you need to open
with some good small too small to maybe people can
text him four four eight seven if you've got a
good opening line for what Meddy can say to Christian Colin.
Because let's be honest, your rugby knowledge doesn't be not great.
So have you got any good small band that you
Reckon will get Christian Collen warmed up tonight text through
(33:23):
for eight seven and we'll reveal on the show tomorrow
if Christian Culen remembers playing cards with Maddie when he
was eleven years old.
Speaker 9 (33:34):
Maddy and PG, Maddy and PJ, the podcast heads.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
We were talking earlier in the show about my history
with all Black Christian Colin. He came round to my
best friend's house, won a competition back in nineteen ninety
seven to host him for dinner, and I got invited
around to dinner as well. So I had dinner with
Christian Cullen.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
I didn't realize how intimate the experience was. He taught
you how to play k and a card game, card.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
Game it was and it lasted hours, like they were
there for so long. We had dinner, we had drinks,
and yeah, it was amazing.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
I was giving a bit of grief about this earlier,
going mate think about all the people that he would
have had interactions with over the year in his career.
But you know what I've been simmering on it. I
think that that actually could be a stand up moment
for him in his life as well.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
Someone did text into four four eight seven and said
one hundred percent ask if he remembers who wouldn't remember
being billeted and teaching a couple of kids k's and
as the point experience, good point.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
So we wanted your chat like best chat starters for
many because rugby is not like your favorite thing in
the world, to be honest.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
No, except someone has reminded me that Christian Cullen used
to play for Plymoton. He's from Plymoton, just north of Wellington,
and before I moved to Queens Sound, I lived for
the first six years of my life in Wellington and
I was a paramount of plymittin direct pirate a rugby play.
Speaker 1 (35:02):
There you go, well, there you go. There's the perfect end.
So there is he going to say that organically?
Speaker 2 (35:06):
Hey shall I preside? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:09):
I'll be like good a mate, Christian Maddy. I think
I've seen you on the telly. You still on the telly?
Speaker 2 (35:14):
No? No, no, I'm doing the radio thing now. Oh nice,
but fun fair Christian, because you used to live in
plymutin I was a paramiedt of plymotin pirate, an underrate pirate.
I played rugby mate in Plymoton.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Not actually upon upon doing this activity I think you
need to go straight into I played cards with you once.
I think that's going to grab as attention more rather
than a fumbling cot I played rugby with the Plymurtin. No,
I think you've got to just say, hey, mate, do
you remember when we played cards and I was eleven
years old and you did that bulleting thing.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
I think you just cut straight to the chat, lose
the rugby chair.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
I cannot wait to hear how it goes. We'll find
out everything that went down with Maddy reunites with Christian
Collen tonight on the show Tomorrow.
Speaker 9 (36:01):
Maddy, MPJ, Mady and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
This is Sarah. I know you're very excited because I
have just assigned you the task of playing some appropriate
Taylor Swift music in the background, your absolute favorite of
all time. Can you set the scene, please, Sarah. Big
news out today, AUT's School of Communications Studies has just
(36:27):
launched Australasia's first Taylor Swift course. No, this is not
a joke. This is following the success. Look at her,
she's already got advantage. Really so, this has happened overseas
and it was really popular amongst college classes in the States.
And they realized, hey, we're onto something here. So it's
called Taylor Swift Communications Professional, and it dives into how
(36:52):
Taylor has just absolutely dominated the music industry for eighteen
years or more. And it's not even just about the music.
It's also about Hush communicates with their fans and how
she came to brand fresh and her fans.
Speaker 2 (37:05):
So this is a legit academic course into the power
that is Taylor Swift the machine.
Speaker 1 (37:13):
Yeah, it's not like a full on like UNI degree,
but it's open to everyone, from high school students keen
for you know, an early intro into UNI, to working
pros looking to just expand their Taylor knowledge.

Speaker 1 (37:54):

Speaker 2 (37:57):
The summer, we can be here.
Speaker 1 (38:01):
To be fair and I look, I think in Advens
it's a great thing that, let's be honest, people do
degrees and they don't end up doing that. You know
a lot of people do spend a lot of years
studying and then end up doing something totally different. I wait,
a hundred of the hats. Maybe this has been you.
Maybe you studied something, You've got a degree or a diploma,
and something you ended up and it usually different career.
Speaker 2 (38:27):
You'd hope if that was the case, you hadn't done
the full PhD. You know, you hadn't seen years at UNI,
and then thought, actually, ain't for me.

No, I reckon, you will get people like that, people
studying medicine, so all the heart, Yes, I reckon. I'm
sure they're out there. I wait, a hundred of hats.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
