Well no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no no,
I'm not. I've What I've done is I've made myself
agree to go to run club on Sunday morning.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Because okay, so you can't go too large.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I can't go large and I'm driving tonight, so then
I'm not going to go large tonight.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Easy. Nice.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
But what we are doing tomorrow night is a little
cocktail making like my Kitchen Rules type competition, but it's
only with It's with three friends and me, so four
of us and each of us has to make a cocktail.
So max drinks. I'll have four cocktails and we're going
to start early.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
As if you're going to make the limit of cocktails
for the night four, that doesn't mean you can't make
more afterwards.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Right, Yes, but I've got to go to run Club,
so I'm calling it now four and done.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Can I ask a question, Yes, you obviously are pre
booking run Club, so you can't pull the pen. Have
you ever pulled the pen with the run Club?
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
How many times?
Speaker 2 (01:29):
A couple?
Speaker 1 (01:30):
A couple so more than once. Yeah, I just gone
into a lawyer role. I put it to the jury.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
You're honor that this man did not go to run.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Club by Alwood's moment, I yes, I have on occasion.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
Messaged the group and said I'm coming to run Club
and then on.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Here's an other question, if you do pull the pin
on that? Oh man. I remember actually back in my
in my in my youthful days, when I would go
out on a Saturday night and I must have had
commitments on Sunday morning. I remember getting some pretty filthy
looks after pulling out because I did pull pen a
(02:19):
few times. But what was it? It was on some
kind of exercisey thing, and it was just the worst.
You feel like a piece of shit. No, no, was
it some kind of group exercise or something. I remember
there was some commitment and like I must have messaged
it two o'clock morning, I don't feel too well.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Well, I do run club and my friends I'm not
going to. My friend Harry does run club as well,
and we both went to Symphony together last week and
we sent a photo to the group at about one
am on k Road.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
How did that go down?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
In fearness? I'd never agreed to go in the first place,
Like I already knew, you knew that that was going
to be right off that it wasn't happening.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
Absolutely, Okay, Well, look I wish you luck, but be
kind and give them enough.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Well, that doesn't really matter if you don't like, No,
it's not like it's happening, whether it's happening, whether I'm
there or not.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
So yeah, exactly, So just go live your life.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Watch watch the space you.

a little nosey online and see if there's any other
establishments that I may have missed out right, So anyway,
that is a little bit to done. Coming up in
the podcast tonight, we talk about the crazy thing that
happened in your life that sounded like a movie.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
We've got a.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Really juicy one about area fifty one. I indulged, Maddie
wasn't so convinced.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Plus, apparently a lot of people would trust AI to
write their dating profiles. So you and I got our
dating profiles written for us. You can hear those.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
And we wanted to know what fills up your brain
that probably doesn't need to be there. We got some
quite interesting niche topics that filled up in people's brains.
So that is all coming up and more. Enjoy the
podcasts everyone, and have a great weekend.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Bye bye, Meddi and PJ. The podcast.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Now, I need your help and I need you to
tell me if I was being unreasonable.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Okay, happily, my darling. I think we need to open
like a little therapy session on.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Truly, truly, truly I know I need to we need
a couch in here. I need to lie back. I
need you with like a little notepad and pen.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Yeah. We've got group therapy for you know, people who
listen to the show, but I think we need.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
One of our own. So my husband Ryan and I
go to the gym together on a Friday. We go
and see a personal trainer. And there's a couple of
things you need to know about me. One, I do
have a short fuse and exercise.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
It's got progressively worse as you have gotten a little old.
That's a thing, isn't it. You do get grumpy and old.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I used to be a lot more easy going and
I'm not even forty yet, so God knows what's going
to happen. So there's that. And the second thing is
I'm wildly competitive.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
And so the last thing we did this morning was
our personal trainer said, all right, we're going to do
like an arms like a you know, like a arms blast.
So we had a bar and we had weights on it,
and he said, just do as many like bicep curls
as you can with this bar, because you know me,
I'm just I'm very athletic, very.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
Athletic and so Carlos Spencer in that Top Pops.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Said no, because I ate too many toffee pops to
be Carlo Spincer in the toffee pops here, I'll just
ad my Carlo Spencer in the top pops head instead.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
But it's pretty much the same thing exactly.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
So he said, just do as many as you can, like,
reap out as hard as you can for a Friday.
So I started going and going and going, and I
got to twenty and it was a heavy bar, so
getting to twenty was quite a lot. And then he goes, Okay,
that's enough. Stop. So I was like, okay, I'm I mean,
I could have kept going technically, but if the personal
trainer tells me to stop, I'm gonna stop. You know,
I'm going to follow instructions. So I stopped, and then
(07:52):
Ryan got on it and he got to twenty and
then kept going. So got to twenty five reps, and
I thought, this is not on because you can't have
someone being told to stop at twenty and then someone
else is allowed to go to twenty five. That doesn't
mean it's not fear.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
Yeah, but he come on, he obviously just told you
to stop. Like that doesn't mean that you weren't capable
of doing more. I mean, do you need to turn
everything into a competition? And do you think it might
be slightly more enjoyable for everyone in the session involved
if perhaps you know you just took things a little
(08:32):
more lightly.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Well, I did say I said Ryan has to go
first next time because this isn't fair. And Ryan literally
turned to me and goes, you're a child. Stop.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
The thing is people think you're having this story and really,
you know, adding a bit of GST for radio, but
I get in picture of this.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
No, this is one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
You need Look, you need to learn to pick your battles.
You will learn it with parenting. One day you just
realize there are some things that are worth.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Do you know what we need?
Speaker 1 (08:59):
Weird?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
We need. I need a sports psychologist to come and
help me figure out how I get through a simple
workout without losing my rap.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Hey I told you the other day, I went to
a comedy show with my husband Ryan. It's his favorite comedian.
This woman called Kotzka. She's Japanese but lives in America
now and she is brilliant. She's so so funny.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
I feel like a comedy show is something that's really
good for your health every now and then, Like it
gives you a good belly laugh, and there's nothing better
than that. Sometimes sometimes just what you need.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Totally. We were in hysterics the whole time, and you
just leave feeling so good about life. So we went
to this comedy show and it was very, very funny.
But she told the story and it was almost like
an in passing comment that she made about being kidnapped
as a kid, and part of me thought, hang on,
that must be for comedic value, right, because what a
crazy But then afterwards, you know me very nosy. I
(10:04):
like to know things, so I immediately started googling this
woman and it turns out she wasn't kidding. When she
was a kid, her grandma basically kidnapped her from Japan
and took her to America undocumented. I lived it undocumented
in America for a number of years.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Like good kidnapping or bad kid Yeah, like a good purpose.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
It was for a good purpose, but essentially, like technically
she was kidnapped because her dad didn't know where she
was and they fled the country and lived in America,
and it wasn't until years later that she because she
was so young when it happened, she didn't even really
think much of it as a kid, and it wasn't
until she became an adult that she kind of thought,
(10:48):
this is something's weird here. And she talked to her grandma,
and her grandma was like, yeah, I kidnapped when you
were likely.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
She faced up to her and she didn't like gas lighter.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
I mean, you know this is and this woman was going,
this is crazy. I can't believe that this is my
life because I don't feel like I live the kind
of life where I would have a story like this.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Do you know what, Sometimes people who you would least
expect have the most colorful backgrounds to their lives.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
I agree, well, agreed.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I would love to hear people's movie like experiences that
they've had. And maybe when you were younger, growing up,
maybe it was recent, but what crazy thing happened in
your life that literally sounded like it was straight out
of a movie.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Yeah, like those stories where people go, come on, that
didn't you weren't kidnapped by your grandma and moved to
America And you're like no, I actually was.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
So we did like an icebreaker game with the Hats
team earlier this year, and so many wild stories came
out just from that. Like there was someone who had
a trip to Cambodia, got into a fake taxi driver's van,
resulted in that person being locked inside and then they
were only released after giving money to the driver. There
was someone who spent their birth day in Bali last
year and that person got talking to a bartender and
(12:05):
then somehow ended up at the bartender's nieces weeding drestern
traditional Barlinese clothing that were the bartender sisters. I'm sorry,
I'm just literally reading this off from this piece of
paper that we had for the game, but it shows
there were so many wild stories out there.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Everyone hares one. What are just your quintessential story that
you tell people with like a party or an icebreaker
or whatever that you go. I can't believe this happened
to me, but it happened many and PJ to podcast.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
We want to know what crazy thing happened in your
life that sounds like it's straight out of a movie.
I wait, hundred the Hats and if we get you
on the air, we're going to hook you up with
tickets to check out Bookworm, the big new adventure comedy
starring Elijah Wood and mel Fisher and Cinemas. Now, I've
heard really great things about it. Yeah, we have great
great watch now. I know you're very excited for these stories.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Medie, you know me. I love good Guss, I love it.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Let's start with Choll. What was your movie like moment.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
I used to live in Australia when I was younger,
and I lived up in the Northern Territory. And there's
a brown snake in front of me, which is like
the second most poisonous snake, and my dog was right
between us and it was striking at me.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
But did it get you?
Speaker 5 (13:25):
Nah? My dog skidded off.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
Oh well that's okay, So near mess with a snake? Okay, Yeah,
they thank you so much, Matchell, Maddy the story.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
It's a good start. I do think the movie moment
would have had to have been he got he got
bitten by the snake. That's fine, that's okay.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Look, we appreciate you call Mitchell. We're going to move
on to deb with your movie moment now, g B,
what kind of genre are we talking like, action or
thriller or romance or what is that?
Speaker 6 (13:59):
Probably actini.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
All right, let's say the saying.
Speaker 6 (14:05):
It was actually to do with my dad. He was
an officer in the navy and he was put out
in a whaler boat and from the Navy and in Australia,
and they got shipwrecked and they had to swim across
the channel and over in Australia. And they found out
(14:25):
afterwards that the channel they swim across was full of starts.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Okay, there's going on.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
That's a very good young and they obviously made it yep.
Speaker 6 (14:37):
And the guys that rescued them afterwards were like, how
on earth did you manage to go across that? Because
nobody swims across that channel, Nobody would go across it.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
Great story. Someone sticks into four four eight seven page
and said, I found out at sixteen that my cousin
was my sister.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Could that be like a mystery maybe?
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Or like it?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
It would be well, now be drama, wouldn't that?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Actually it's not X files.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
No, but hang on, kick their music up, produce this.
No no, no, no, go back to the X files. Go
back to the X files, because we've got a call
from Greek here, claiming that he's been to Area fifty one.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I'll come on, Greg, greg how are you doing good?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yeah? Good mate, tell us about your movie like moment.
Speaker 7 (15:26):
In the voder got lost in the desert, frying a
dirt road, followed that sour sign saying Area fifty one,
keep out the ended up on the base. Took out
my camera to thirty six photos on the school, and
PI has chased me. I managed to get away, ended
up in Phoenix. Took them to a photoshop to get
developed the next day, walking to get my photos, and
(15:50):
the guys all I can say is like men and
black waiting for me picked me up. I went ended
up on. I don't even know where I want it,
interrogated me, basically warned me that anything like this again,
I will no, I'll never be seen again. Gave me,
gave me my Bully the kid photos, but they left
(16:10):
two negatives of the runway and the back then it
was a b two bombers which hadn't been seen by
the public yet that I still got two negatives of that,
And Greg, you've been too frightened to actually print those
pictures and show anyone.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Gregory, are you having us on? No?
Speaker 4 (16:26):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (16:28):

Speaker 4 (20:08):
May the podcast.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Your big fiend for the dating apps back in the
day when you were single.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Look, I definitely debelled, but I never had great success.
I went on a couple of dates, but I never
found love on their.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
Did you Did you enjoy it?
Speaker 10 (20:29):
Though?
Speaker 1 (20:31):
I enjoyed the dope for me that it gave me
when I'd get like a mad and then you'd always
go through this phase of having rows tender glasses for
that person and thinking they could be the one, and
then you'd actually meet them on the dot. You're like
noop back to square one.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
The very head and mess. Although I have to say
I am a tender success story.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Oh there's so many success stories that come from it.
But this, you know, there's still phone fear between. Like
I feel like there'll be maybe one or two an
everything group.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
And it's always that thing where it's like, you know,
you hear of someone who it worked for, and so
you hold on to that. Cling on to that is
like this hopeful thing, right. Yeah, but they are I
think far and wide appreciated as like not great people.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
People get frustration journey, that's for sure.
Speaker 8 (21:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
But I've read some really fascinating new research that Samsung
New Zealand has done around dating apps and how we
use them and how we might potentially use them in
the future. Here's one of the interesting things. It's around
the number of times that people delete and then re
upload that reinstall the apps.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
I was so guilty of that because you you do,
you have this urge you like scroll it, I'm better
than this, I'm getting off, and then you do. And
then you hit a low moment on a Sunday night,
sorry for yourself, and you go back to your app
store and you do the old re upload.
Speaker 2 (21:59):
So Tender users delete and re download the app do
it on an average of two point four times a month.
Grinder Grinder users apparently doing six times a month on average.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
That's so interesting im to know that I'm not the
only one that did that.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
Yeah, first impressons count Sixty percent say that they would
decline a potential match on the basis of someone's bio
or first message alone, starting cringeworthy phrases, trying too hard
to impress, spelling errors as well as one of the
top reasons that you would swipe left. You've said very
admittedly that if you'd met bjar in a dating app,
(22:38):
the spelling eras would have meant you would have swiped
left immediately.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Ah, and just the hobbies he was into, Like if
I'd seen him out hunting or with a fish, I
would have absolutely swiped left. But then I met him
in person, and you know you cannot judge a book
place cover.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
Well, one of the most interesting things was around how
how we will progress with dating air in the future,
because of course, things like AI huge at the moment,
of course, and sixty three percent of kiwis in this
research from Samsung have revealed that they would consider turning
to AI to write a women dating app bio on
(23:17):
their behalf.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
To be honest, I've been pretty resistant towards AI. But
thinking back to those moments we'd have to come up
with a bio, I hated it. I hated opening lines.
It was too much pressure just for that moment You're like, Okay,
this is going to make or break. So if I
could have assessance, I'd probably take it.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Well, here's what I'm thinking, PEG, You and I are
not on the apps anymore. We don't have to worry
about writing down bios. But what would our bios look like?
I thought you and I could help with the help
of AI, write each other's online dating bio.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Okay, and then let's get people to text and MEDI
or PJ. Who they'd date the most out of said.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
Pro perfect, brilliant.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
And PG many in PJ the podcast.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
We've just been talking through a few stats on online
dating these days, and what was it like sixty percent
of people would turn towards AI to actually write their
bio these days?
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Sixty three percent of people say I need a little
bit of help. And that's fair enough because the research
also sees a lot of people. Sixty percent of people
would decline a match on the basis of someone's bio alone.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
It's a lot of pressure to sum yourself up in
one description. Like I remember when I used to start conversations,
I just seen an emoji because I didn't back my banter. Yeah,
I just do a random emoji to start a conversation.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
I was terrible, so terrible. So we thought we've given
this research from Samsung, we might might as well see
if we can get out a little bit of a
helping hand ourselves. So you and I have sent through
some prompts for each other to write our dating bios.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
Okay, now we literally haven't read this until right now
on you, So can we set the scene for Meddi?
All right, Meddi, I want you to read through what
AI would write for your dating profile in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Looking looking for my posh spice. Oh no, I'm a
hopeless romantic who wears my heart on my sleeve and
believes in happily ever after. You'll find me belting out
Spice Girls lyrics on the dance floor, channeling my inner
sporty Spice during runs and talking about them non stop
(25:32):
and indulging in biscuits whenever possible, be prepared to keep
up because I hate to dwardle. Hashtag Spice up your
life hashtag rom com lover. Hashtag biscuit aficionado.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Oh my god, is wor bio ever?
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Like?
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Stop? Soo much information actually sticks through to four point
eight seven? Who you would be most likely to date
out of media? Myself? Of these bios. We don't read
our read yours peach. Okay, I haven't read this before?
All right, okay, so hi looking for someone who appreciates
the authentic me A. But we're woo and always manifesting
(26:13):
to life and my shark Chris slightly awkward, but I
did when the kindest carp in school. I loved to sing,
even though I was turned away from the local choir,
still trying to stand tune though. Hard boiled eggs are
the best kind of eggs, and I'm always there for
my loved ones. Let's connect with it like a little
crystal ball, A lighter Morjory and a heart hashtag authentic
(26:37):
hashtag w woo, hashtag kind hearted, hashtag lover of life
hashtag hard boiled eggs of the bit.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Maddy and PJ May and Page the podcast.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
That now every day before our show, we have a
little meeting with our boss, Mando, or as we like
to call him, Diplomando, very diplomatic he is he is,
and as he was in the office today, we somehow
got onto his choice of outfits at work and how
he keeps things very simple with his wardrobe. You know,
(27:13):
he'll be rotating the same shirt, maybe in different color.
He's got like one or two pairs of jeans. He
keeps it really simple. And then we said, why do
you do this, Well, what's sort of the thought process
behind it? And that's when he compared himself to Barack Obama.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
Barack Obama because you know, when I see Mando, our
very very white boss from New Zealand, the person I
mean think of is Baraco Obama.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
And then he actually even followed up by size Nigga
quote that Obama had said, and he said, this is
what I live my life by. You'll see wear only
gray or blue suits. I'm trying to peer down decisions.
I don't want to make decisions about what I'm eating
or wearing because I have too many other decisions to make.
And I've heard a similar theory and I think it
was Steve Jobs had done so and similar to this,
(28:01):
where he would just honestly be the same thing every day,
and then that would mean that he would have more
fuel for creativity and making other important decisions.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Look, I love it, and you know I love Mando
and he's a very hard working man. But are we
really comparing men?
Speaker 1 (28:19):
Hey, hey, this is our boss we're talking about.
Speaker 7 (28:22):
Be careful.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Said it right, Yes, we are comparing Mando to Wabama. Okay, okay,
but it did get us thinking about all of that
space that's taken up in our brain that probably doesn't
need to be there, Like we could actually be possibly
solving really important problems if we didn't have certain real
estate in our brain. For example, you know, at the moment,
(28:45):
I know all of the lyrics to all of the
Wiggles songs. You do sometimes think I could actually be
you know, I could be fully fluent and Spanish if
I wasn't spending my time absorbing all of these lyrics
of the Wiggles. You know, actually really good a Spanish
at school, and if I actually really applied myself, I
could be completely fluent.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
What you don't know is that that sweater is not
just blue. It's not turquoise, it's not Lappis, it's actually cerulean.
That's the monologue from the Devil Wez Praduct and it
lives rent free in.
Speaker 1 (29:17):
My fight, Like where are you going here? I feel like,
you know monologues from every movie.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
I'm very good like Friends, especially the TV show. I
just can remember quotes so well from that show.
Speaker 1 (29:32):
And I feel like, you know, there are so many
things that probably don't Oh my god, I can't remember.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
I can't remember what I did half an hour ago,
but I will be able to tell you the lyrics
to Ace of Base, the Sign.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
From the nineties and Selute Banger though a total.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Bang, but it's there, It's in the air, and I
can't get rid of it.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
Maddy and PJ.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
Mady and PJ the podcast, we've been talking about what
is taking up space in your brain that you really
don't need. This came off the back of our boss
Mando comparing himself to Obama, basically saying he'll kill us,
but just basically saying that when it comes to his
(30:18):
outfits at work, he just he likes to keeck them
really simple, because then he can put his brain power
into other things.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Yeah, And so we started thinking about the things that
the useless things that take up space in our brains
we should just get rid of.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
All right, Messy is joining us on eight hundred. The
hats Messy, what's taken up space in your brain that
you probably don't really need.
Speaker 9 (30:39):
So I'm like a weird bug like insect lady, and
I got like really obsessed with monarch butterflies and helped
to raise them, and I bought like cages and I
went like ball in on basically learning everything there is
to know about raising monarchs from egg right through to butterfly.
And I've just got a bit feral, and I'm I'm like, Okay,
(31:00):
I need to get rid of this.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
You need to rejoin society. Missy.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
Does it come in handy? Do you ever find that
you do apply this knowledge or really is it just
for your own sake?
Speaker 9 (31:14):
Like literally just for me? Like nobody gives the crap,
you know. If I try to tell people about it,
they're like, yeah, we don't care.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, this is your mind.
This is your moment. Hit us with a fun fact
about monarch butterfly.
Speaker 10 (31:25):
So butterflies actually taste through their feet.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Oh I think I do that.
Speaker 10 (31:32):
Yeah, So if you ever need to, like you catch
a little butterfly and it's like really rough, you can
make some little sugar water and then put their little
feet in it, and then they'll put their pro biscuits
out and start to suck up the sugar water and
get a little hit.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Do you know the cutest thing, Missy? As soon as
I asked you to tell us the fun, you can
hear the joy and delight in your voice. Yeah. Come
back to the real world, Missy, Yeah, join us.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
It's got a one hundred. The hats was taking up
space in your brain. Love that you probably don't need.
Speaker 4 (32:06):
Hi.
Speaker 8 (32:06):
I can remember like celebrities heights.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
What of okay?
Speaker 2 (32:11):
How many anyone and everyone? Or just to suit and grew.
Speaker 8 (32:15):
When I was younger, I obviously was obsessed with Disney Channel,
so I used to get the like posters and the
girlfriend magazines and then I'd be like, oh, I wonder
what I wonder what their height is?
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Okay, shall I teach you with a couple then?
Speaker 8 (32:31):
Sure, like old old Disney Channel stars.

she went out with Taylor Lautner, and then she went
out with Jake Dylan Hall, and then she went out
with John Mayer. Oh and this Harry Styles, and then
she went out with Joe Olwen.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
Favorite song about a boyfriend all.
Speaker 11 (33:51):
Two well ten minute version, which is about Jake Dylan
obviously and the red scarf.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
I'm team Jake. He's awesome. I loved her.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Cutter off, cut off, cut off.
Speaker 4 (34:02):
The podcast.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
That's the people's poll, the people's poll. Everybody comes together,
it's the people's poll.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Okay. So on the show yesterday we got talking about
the things you have done without your partner's permission or
vice versa, because we are selling a few pups and
the number one thing that comes up is people will
be like, hey, I've just got to go and ask
the other half. Got to go ask the missus. And
then about ninety nine percent they say sorry, I can't.
(34:31):
I haven't got the green light. And it did get
us thinking, how much would you spend before asking your partner?
Speaker 2 (34:39):
Yeah, what's that golden amount?
Speaker 5 (34:41):
You know?
Speaker 2 (34:42):
Then where's the sweet spot where it's fine to spend
that amount of money and you don't need to ask
permission or you don't need to tell them about it.
And then when does it cross over and to it?
What better? Just better just check that this is okay?
Speaker 1 (34:55):
But already, like like if it's things for Charlie a son,
I will sort of just do it. Just do a
couple of things, although I mean I'd only go like
get a few books or like, you know, I'm not.
I'm not splashing out wildly. Maybe one.
Speaker 2 (35:13):
I reckon that's about me as well?
Speaker 1 (35:15):
You think so?
Speaker 2 (35:16):
Yeah, because I would like I was thinking, say I
wanted like a new pair of running shoes, you know,
that would be that would be about that amount, And
I feel like I'm fine to buy those without asking
Ryan or chicken with Rye that that's okay. I feel
like that's a good amount.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Do you often tell I'm after the fact.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Yeah, I'm not. I'm not a wild shopper honestly. So
there's nothing I wouldn't I would keep from him. I
wouldn't have to like hide packages or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Okay, I've definitely gone through that phase. I am a
bit of these. I tell you what, most of my
money goes on food. I don't know, I swear it
goes on food. Y Okay, So how much would you
spend before asking your partner?
Speaker 6 (35:59):
Well?
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Ask this. You can go to our poll on Instagram
that has strive with medi and PJ under one hundred
one to two hundred, two to five hundred or five
hundred and more. You can vote now or a text
through to four four eight seven, and we'll come back
and reveal the results. How much would you spend before
asking your partner? That is the question for the People's
(36:22):
Poll this evening. Get in touch, Mady and PJ.
Speaker 4 (36:28):
Mady and PJ, the podcast, the People's Poll, the People's Poll.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Everybody, come together, it's the People's Poll.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Okay, we are asking the question this evening, how much
can you spend without your partner knowing you SA had
a limit? And you're like, right, we're gonna we're gonna
have a conversation with the SOO, the significant other.
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Yo, ball and chain, oha.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
And ch But does it differ if you're buying a present?
Speaker 2 (36:58):
Oh, that's a good question. That's a really good question.
I think I think it just I think that's exempts.
This is just general spending, right.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
Yeah, So we broke it.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
We broke it down into four categories. Under one hundred dollars,
you got to ask one hundred to two hundred, two
hundred to five hundred or five hundred plus. A few
texts have come in four four to eight seven. Amanda said, absolutely,
one hundred to two hundred. You've got a check.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Someone said they brought a farm seven mil Jesus. This
is yesterday on the show where that present that bought.
Speaker 2 (37:28):
A house, yes about someone said I spent seventeen thousand
dollars without telling them. We don't have joint finances.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
That's that's I think some people don't and they do
keep money quite independent, which is you know that works
for a lot of people. But what is the general consensus?
What's a breakdown?
Speaker 2 (37:46):
So if I look on our Instagram poll, the most
popular opinion is two hundred to five hundred thirty one percent.
That's the amount where I've got a check.
Speaker 1 (37:56):
I've got to ask, okay, because I was being modest
When I see one fifty thanks over two.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Hundred twenty, I should have known. Twenty seven percent said
one hundred to two hundred, twenty three percent said five
hundred plus, and then nineteen percent said anything under one
hundred bucks. I've got to check.
Speaker 1 (38:14):
Okay. All right, Well, there you go, People's poll for
another day. Have you got any suggestions for what we
should do for the People's Poll next week? You can
text through four four eight seven million PJ the podcast
Speaker 9 (38:27):
That's
