The Hits Drive with Meddy and Paja thanks to Chimis
ware House the Real House of Fragrances. Hi, everyone, Welcome
to your hump Day podcast. Maddie McLain, Hi, Hi.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Question for you go. We've talked about the I think
we talked. We talked yesterday about what the Radio Awards
are like. I've never been to one before.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Yes, yes, we did, and we divulge far too many
detailed when we went into my experiences at the music Awards,
so these So my.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
Question now though, is what do people wear at the
Radio Awards? Because I've asked three different guys who have
told me three different things.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
So it's a thing that's got you confused before. Which
is the theme of COCKTAILCTA.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
I asked Vaughan Smith from Zidim and he said he's
wearing a Pokemon T shirt and jeans and maybe even
a beanie.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
But remember that corporate event we went to and he
was wearing a Swan drive. That's true.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
But then Flitch, who I'm also good friends with, that
he's wearing black time, which to me is like a tuxedo.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Well, I have seen that Flitch has done that in
the past with the radio wards because I actually like
googled Radio Awards because I was trying to find outfits
just to work out what you are going to wear.
I think honestly it can spend anywhere between like casual
and super tree stuff. So why don't you just go
like that happy medium what you sent me? I Reckon's perfect.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I should just do me right?
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Just do do you? But a little toned down?
Speaker 3 (01:30):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Do you? But do you?
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Not? All of you?
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Seventy?
Speaker 2 (01:37):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I really like the suit that you sent me. I
think you look really smart. It's can I reveal the secret?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah? Go for it.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
It's it's like a would you call it?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
It's like a like a.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Tan, It's really it's a very suave brown double breasters,
double breasters. Are you gonna wear the same tie? Like
the blue tie?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
I do like the blue tie with it.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Blue tie's nice. Also, you might look cute.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
You might have noticed it. But did you notice what's
in my in my hand?
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Mate? What is it?
Speaker 2 (02:14):
It's a cane?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Oh my god, I can see you're holding that. Oh
my god, you're not going to do the cane tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Should I do the cane? That's my big question?
Speaker 1 (02:23):
Maddy McCain you've done it again.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
It's cute, it's very I just I feel like you
get away, we get like maybe at the races or
like lacrosse or something. But maybe you're first, just because
it's your first radio awards, like diving into the industry,
you probably just don't want to come off too hot.
So that's why i'd say seventy five percent, one hundred
percent would be Maddy McCain. Seventy is Maddy McClain. McClain, No,
(02:53):
you look good. I think that's I mean, she could
give it a poem now, because you're a night now.
I had the option to come that. There's just been
a lot of travel obviously with my little one. I
feel really bad leaving him. So I was like, nah,
I'm going to sacrifice the radio Awards and now everyone's
talking about it like the pre.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Drinking you've made that you've made the right call. I
said to Ryan this morning, because he said, is PJ
coming to it? And I said no, no, no, and
I explained, you know, you'd made the call. Just too
many trips away at the moment, you're going to stay
at home. And I said, so we'll go next year
when we're actually nominated and he went home. You think
I'll have yourself. I don't know, you know, just positive
thinking and all that.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Well, when we have at least the chance to be nominated.
If we're not, we're definitely not going because so no, no,
it'll be good to go next year. What's going to
really be?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
Sorry, I was just going to change the subject and say,
what's going on with you?
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I've just I feel like I'm really craving clearing out
at the moment, which is such boring life in a chat,
but just throwing shit out around the house, like I
just feel Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I'm a fidget, So I'm so sorry to interrupt. I'm
a fidget. Literally just asked, I know, and I was
still listening to what you're saying. Something I would I
was still listening to what you were saying. But I'm
a fidget, and I had a pair of scissors in
my hand and I've been fidgeting, and I was just
worried that I had this thought that I'd accidentally just
cut my shirt.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
But careful friginating with Well.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Anyway you're going to clear just want to clear out?
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Yeah, I just I don't know, I just feel like
I've acquired so much shit at the moment, and like
life's just been busy. So I just want to like
go through our office sell shit. Like I've got this
little like podcast thing that I used to make my podcast.
Now I'm gonna sell that on trade. Me just get
some ship. I've actually got this exercise machine which I'm
tossing up selling as well. The bow flecks. No, you're
(04:48):
not thinking about it. We don't get any lust.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
When I came instead at your house, I well, I
came home one day and.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
Be that was the last time we used. I think
I thought.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
At the start of the year, you're all about the
both leaks.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
I was, But then I think I just got over
the both leaks and I'm like, well, that give me
a few thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
But are you worried that you might then get back
into both fleeks season.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Possibly, Like it was quite good when I was pregnant,
and like, not that I'm pregnant, but.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
No, no, no, not so aw quick, Oh.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
My god, no, no, And so it was quite good,
Like because it's quite good. It's low resistance, I mean
low impacts, right, low impacts give for injuries. I mean
you're pregnant and all that kind of stuff. So yeah,
I might, we might. I don't know. It's just an
idea open my head at the moment that I want
to sell shared.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
When we moved it, because this is what happens right
when you I mean, you're not likely to move anytime
soon because it's the fun and stuff. But when we've
moved a fear few times, me and Ryan, and every
time we do, you know, you you pack obviously and
you end up doing a big clean out because you're like,
oh my god, I've got so much ship. And then
you're like, okay, great, we're starting afresh, and when you
(06:11):
know we're gonna be minimum minimalists, and then lo and
fucking behold every time, you know, And the worst thing
is we've got a we've got a really big ediche
in our new house.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Like you just fill it up with with ship. That's
a problem. The more space you have, the more you
feel And.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I go, clearly, if it's up in the attic, we
don't need don't need it. This is stuff that we're
just storing.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah, but I think I'm just gonna I'm gonna go
routhless on it. We've actually got Friday off, that's my
throw out day. So watch out. P J Harding's coming
at chat coming up in the podcast today, what do
we have coming up? Hanging on?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
We asked people when they when did you shoot your shop?
We've got a guy. We've a guy slid into our
DMS and said he thought he's always been told he
had a voice for radio and he just turned fifty
and was curious to know how he might be able
to get into the industry in some way. So we
asked people, when did you shoot your shot? And I
think we're gonna have to get Mark on tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Yeah, we've got to get Mark on. We can't talk
about Mark and not get Mark on. Also, Battle of
the Hats j Lo was the artist this week. Things
got a little bit or got after that.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Did they actually they know? You?
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Actually weren't you actually weren't That's what we've just revealed her, won,
didn't we No, you've actually no, You're a lot better
than last week.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Thanks.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah, last week was heated and that was on me.
Last week. I did teach you and I apologized, didn't I.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
I know we've got like a real kick relationship. At
the moment, you get like an insecure messister from me
after the showroom, like, Hey, did I do anything wrong.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Anyway? We're both losers, but I love We're both losers exactly.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I love you too. Coming up, also, we talked about
the big lie that you caught someone out and which
was quite soucy. So all that and more coming up
in today's podcast Enjoy Many. In the podcast, I say
I love an act of bravery. I love a big,
(08:15):
bold act. I just love it when people like are courageous.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Yeah, yeah, I howled.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
My first st up there when I was trying to
say I.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Felt like I was going to war.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
You're like brave heart leading the battle. Like honestly, sometimes
you do get messages and you're like, oh my god,
that was you know, that was really big of you
to put yourself out, much like a message we received
from a guy called Mark. He said, hey, guys, it's
great connecting with you. Question for you, and I'm really
going to sell myself here. I just had the Big fifty,
(08:51):
worked in call centers all my life, and I've always
been told I have a voice of radio. I've absolutely
no experience at all, Low, but was just wondering if
you could show me the way. I was also thinking
maybe voice over work, but again no idea. I think
I might just be having a late mid life crisis.
Long cheers Mark. Now, I love the honesty from her
lu I just it's so good and honestly, if you
(09:13):
don't try, you never know. Absolutely, So like I think,
a we've got to get I think we're going to
follow up with get him on the air, and we've
got to do a couple of like voice over run through.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yes, we'll give him like a little script and get
him and see how he goes. I love it.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
At least at least it's not a bot or something.
We haven't been trolled. It is like a fake account.
I'd be so gutted.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
I don't think. We'll do some more research. We'll reach
out to Mark and see if he wants to come
on Madi and the podcast that.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
We want to know when did you shoot your shot?
When did you put yourself out there? And did it payoff?
We received a lovely message from a guy called Mark,
basically saying he's just at the big fifty. He's worked
in call centers all his life and he's always been
told he is a voice for radio, so he wants
to get into the industry and he wants to do
some voice over work, and we said, bravo, Mark, well
done on you, well done. I'm putting yourself out. We're
going try and get him on the show tomorrow. I
(10:01):
haven't got any to give him as my moment, absolutely,
but in the meantime we wanted to know, have you
done this? Have you put yourself out there and you
could look like a real Dirk and the process of it,
But Dib, did you do this and did it pay off?
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Yeah? I decided I was going to give a copy
a go and never played it before in my life,
turned up at a game and went on and decided, well,
if I was going to give it a goal, I'll
go for gold. And I went in and stood in
goal and ended up playing for about fifteen years and
ended up on a red team for two of them.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
And I'll tell you what, being in the goal, you've
got to be pretty brave to find off goals.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
So hang on. You just literally tuned up one day
and said I'd love to play a game. Can you
put me on? And they said yeah, sure, jump and
goal No, I.
Speaker 4 (10:48):
Said, I only want to play and goal fear enough.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
I mean, it's the least place you have to run, Like,
I really don't have to get a sweet on that.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
I love the enthusiasm of the team. Sure, come on in.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Yeah, Alie's kind of Catherine right handed the Hi Catherine,
when did you put yourself out there?
Speaker 5 (11:08):
So a couple of years ago, I went to see
the band Foreigner at Cordland's and I was sitting kind
of near the front and anyway, the lead thing I
jumped off the stage and he was sort of running
through the aisles, but they're really massive aisles, so I
decided I'll take take a chance, and I ran out
and stuck the handout so he could like give me
a high five or something. And there was sort of
(11:28):
instant regret on, oh no, what if he doesn't see me,
or like a security guard like tackles me down or something.
So he was kind of different from me, But the
last second he veered towards me and he did high
five me, and I got a guitar pick, so I
wasn't left like a complete ediot.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
Amazing.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
Have you still got the guitar pick as well? Have
you still got the guitar pick?
Speaker 4 (11:49):
I do?
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Yeah, Yeah, I've got it in like a memorabilia box
that I have for like random things like that.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
Amazing the podcast Sweet Fantasy Ben, Oh my god, is
that what?
Speaker 1 (12:09):
Its?
Speaker 6 (12:11):
What?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
I swear it said, sweet Sweet Medicine Baby.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
The song is literally called Fantasy Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
I never got I never got there. Are you kidding?
That's like one of those No. I was literally go
sweet Sweet.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Medic It's called fantasy Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
But sometimes there's names of songs and they don't even like,
they don't even mention the title beat me up here.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
You do my hidden sometimes, so.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
That song, actually Mariah Carey was the root of Meddi
and I. Like our first fight, I would say it's
when mom and dad really got tense. Yeah, because we
often come up with artists for Bettle of the Hats,
and Maddie threw out Mariah, and I go, can can
I need?
Speaker 4 (12:50):
No?
Speaker 2 (12:50):
There needs more context because you are usually the one
to suggest artists for Bettle of the Hats. And then
finally you said, why don't you take it this week?
You said someone, And I said, Mariah Carey arguably one
of the biggest pop divers in the world, and you
see and you said, what did you say?
Speaker 1 (13:09):
I said, I just feel like her best tracks are
Christmas songs.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I just only tracks were Christmas songs.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
And look, I will now admit that, yes, I was mistaken.
She does have some beggars, and yes we will have
her for Battle of the Heads one of those weeks,
but not this week. Maddy and PJ.
Speaker 7 (13:30):
Maddy and PJ the podcast The Heads Battle of the Heads.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
All right, so this week it is Jennifer Lope is
our artist of choice. Maddy and I have come to
the table with what we believe is Jalo's best song
in our humble opinion, and then you get to vote,
and the song with the most votes we will play
art in its entirety in about eight minutes time. Maddie,
do you want me to go first? Or do you
want to go first?
Speaker 2 (13:58):
I can start this week?
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Okay, good? I like the friendly time that we're starting segment.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
We pledged we were going to get through this as good,
free allies, not enemies.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I will absolutely champion you if you win this week,
as will I as will I.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
But I do love my song. It is off her
debut studio album on the sixth, So I'm taking you
back to nineteen ninety nine and Jennifer Lopez is a
very proud Latina woman had to make her mark right,
She had to really put her stamp on things. And
there is no better song that does this than my
(14:38):
song for this week. As soon as you hear it,
you cannot help but want to get on the dance
floor and put your best soulsate moves forward. My pick
for Battle of the Hits Jennifer Lopez edition is Let's
Get Loud.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
That is the meddiest of many like choices you could
choose for general. It was either that or waiting for Tonight.
I thought you might know.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
I do like waiting for tonight, but get Loud just
always makes me want to dance.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Okay, So if you want to vote for Mattie, you
can take Meddi right now to f for a seven. Meanwhile,
I'm going to cast my vote. Jy Lo obviously has
an array of hurts, but the beat is what wins
me with. This track takes me back to the early
two thousands where she teamed up with jar Rawl. This
was actually the murder remix of I'm Real.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Star.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
It's a good faster write down, Timbo compared to your option.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
This way the podcast the Heads Battle of the Heads.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
In the meantime, we are playing Battle of the Heads.
J Loo is the artist this week. Many has put
forward here's best song, which is Let's get lounge. Be honest.
Do you work out to this or do you use
(16:27):
this to wake up in the morning?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Dance to it? I clean to it, I work out
to it. I walk very quickly to it. All of
the above.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Peage, Okay, Well, mine was very DWN tempo in comparison
to yours. I'll be honest. Mineus the murder remix of
I'm Real with jar Rule.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
It brings me back to a lot of high school parties.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah, I know, like early two thousands vibes. All right,
Oh wait, one hundred hats. This is where you get
to vote for which j Low song we play in
its entirety. Jacqueline from Auckland has called through Jackie, who
do you want to vote for?
Speaker 2 (17:12):
That's fairy.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
I'm actually starting to get nervous that the version we've
got has expleted. I really hope it doesn't. I think
it's gonna be fine. It's gonna be if it's in
the system. It should be a clean version of Liz
Got his Antana? Do you want to vote Mattie or PJ.
Speaker 2 (17:29):
I am with you, Maddy, yes all the way, come on,

a windsdown in your drive home. But that's fine. That's
what the people.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
Burden for when they're a battle of the head. Since Jaylor,
I'm real murder remix.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
Are you? Coj?
Speaker 1 (18:43):
The podcast look there is no denying obviously the cost
of loving crisis at the moment, and that spands out
into all areas of our life right including for school uniforms.
I feel like they've always been expensive, but now astronomical.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Raale for some some schools in the prices that parents
are paying.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
So one key we teenager has taken action on this.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Maybe a year twelve student, Hugo Moffett, is trying to
change it, and he set up a secondhand uniform website.
He joins us this afternoon to talk more. Hugo, you
took it upon yourself. Was it after you had like
a rip in your school pants? You went to the
store decided this is so expensive. I need to take
things into my own hands.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
Yes, yeah, I shoulder. And I also saw an article
on Injured Herold that said families were cutting down on
uniforms so they could afford or cutting down on food
so they could afford school uniform Like, oh, that ain't right.
So decided I'll just make the site.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Because how much of school uniforms I remember when I
was at school and we're going back a few years now,
Hugo was they were expenses too many they were expensive
back then, so what are they like now?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
They're even more expensive. I think my pants for my
just one one pair of pants or school costs sixty
seventy odd dollars and full of for a full set
was I think close to three hundred or even over.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
Three hundred, which is ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
And for my sister, she's an I owner, it was
in the in the thousands.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Wow. Wow.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
So you have made this website where fellow kiwis can
go and access secondhand uniforms? Is that right?
Speaker 3 (20:34):
I sure have?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
How does it work? Talk us through it?
Speaker 3 (20:38):
Also? What you can do? Log onto the site if
you've got uniform or you want to buy uniform. Let's
say you want to sell your uniform, jump on the site,
create a listening put what's school your uniforms from? What
type it is? So maybe a polo shirt? And what size?
(21:01):
You had some photos at a at a description, so
when you're going to pick up and then you that's that,
and then you.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
Can how are you here?
Speaker 8 (21:12):
Go?
Speaker 2 (21:13):
And how's it going? You go?
Speaker 3 (21:15):
Yeah, yeah, it's doing all right. I still need some
more people through it. So yeah, I guess what.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
A little budding entrepreneur doing this at high school. I
love that you've seen this a serious issue here in
New Zealand. People need help and you have just gone
and done this. What an absolute legend here go.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah, amazing. Plug the website you go so that people
can go check it out.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
It's probably easiest way to find it would be to
go through my Instagram which is in z dot uniform,
or my Facebook or go to my Facebook page. There's
a link. There's a link to the site on that
also that till the main name is Yelm School Uniform
dot myshear tribe dot com.
Speaker 2 (21:57):
Love it amazing. That's such a cool thing.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Well, thank you so much for joining us this aftern
and Hugo. Keep up the awesome work. And we hope
just by talking about this this afternoon you get a
few more people on your website.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
Yeah, yeah, that would be super ideal.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Thank you mate the podcast. Hey, quick question, So my
husband Ryan has organized a little team dinner for him
and his work team tonight.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
Then the old work credit card lover.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
There's only four of them. There was only four of
them going, so it was a small like a small gathering.
And then it turned out that another member of the
team was able to go. So they wanted to increase
the booking from four to five, which I always just
thought was just like a really straightforward thing to do, Like,
if you've got a table of four, surely it's pretty
easy to chuck an extra seat at the end of
(22:49):
the table, a little chair.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
I guess it depends. It would be very dependent on, like,
you know, the table setting and said establishment, but usually
you'd think that it wouldn't be a ass No.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
They got told they couldn't do it. The restaurant wasn't
able to do it, and so they've had to cancel
the booking and move to a different, completely different restaurant.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Did you say they did that two days out as well,
not even on the day.
Speaker 2 (23:10):
Yeah. They ryan called a couple of days ago and said, yeah,
I just was wondering, we've made this booking, wanted to
change it from four to five, and they said, sorry,
we were not able to do that, So they've had
to cancel the book in which to me was just crazy.
But then I thought, well, I guess I don't work
in hospo, so I don't really know the ins and
outs of how difficult it is to put an extra
chair at the end of the table.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Was that quite an exclusive joint?
Speaker 2 (23:33):
No, it's a nice new lest Well, no it's not.
It's a nice new restaurant.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
It's not super fat, it's not super.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Exclusive or anything like that. But you know, I'm sure
because it's new were it probably is reasonably popular. People
are trying to get out and stuff. But I kind
of was just curious to know from people who maybe
work in hospo. Is that a pain in the ass,
like or is it pretty easy to change a booking
from four to five?
Speaker 1 (24:01):
I mean, there's so many times where we've hit a
boocket and you're like, you know, two easters will come
and you'll call up I don't know within an hour
and absolutely sweett or even people rock up with you
at the time and there so fine. So I can't
I don't know. I'd be really interested if you do,
we can, Hospital, what would be the most likely reason
behind What are they just not like Ryan, maybe is
(24:22):
there a personal bend dinner out against your husband.
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Maybe and they're like, yes, he's out, he's our opportunity
to cancel.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Text your thoughts if you are in the world of
hospital to four four eight Sip.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Mady and PJ.
Speaker 7 (24:35):
Many and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
That I have had had a friend for about six
months now, and that's fresh.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
That's fresh when you're pushing like we've talked about.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
What were you about to say? What were you about
to say?
Speaker 1 (24:51):
I stopped myself. I didn't know you're.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
About to say.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
I was about to say pushing forty. That's irrelevant. It
doesn't need to be poshing forty. We've talked about this
on the show. How like making friends, especially when you're
like past your mid twenties, it can get quite hard,
and I would say it's quite challenging making new friends.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
So bravo to you in middle age. That's what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
I didn't say that you're a fresh young bean, and
it's exactly what you are.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Had a friend for about six months, and you're right,
it is funny to make it friends as adults.
Speaker 1 (25:23):
But I can mind you. I think it's amazing.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Now this friend who's become a friend to me and
my husband has a partner and for the last six months,
we've heard about the partner, never met him, never met
the partner. We have been multiple social occasions with our
new friend. Partner has never been there, and the other day.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I was gonna say, have you stalked this social.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Yes, except he's got one of those bloody like locked
accounts that you can't get into. That doesn't bode wrong,
doesn't We joked the other day, you know we did
that whole Is he even real? Like does he exist?
And then all of a sudden, I thought, imagine if
he didn't exist, Like, imagine if our friend has just
(26:12):
made up this boyfriend.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
But why would they do that. I mean, they've already
they've already won you as a friend. They don't need
to like win you over with a pretend parlat of it.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
No, but who knows that? There could be multitude of reasons.
The thing is he hasn't made them up, like he
is real. This guy is real. But I thought to myself,
imagine if we caught him in this massive, huge lie
and he just made up this boyfriend and that didn't exist.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
I feel like these stories are like I don't know,
there's so many docos that come out now about these
true like real like like true crime stories about these
people who just live absolute double life.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
The whole concept of you think you know someone.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Right, yes, one hundred percent? Should we open the phones up?
And actually see the wildest sort of set you worshion
we can get. Did you catch someone out? And this
massive line.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
A beg lie, A good juicy lie.
Speaker 1 (27:07):
I mean, I've got one like mine probably doesn't even
mine doesn't really sort of go under this one, but
I did once. I was once saying someone at the time,
and then I did receive a call from someone asking
if I was seeing that person, and they said, we
actually he's in a relationship with this other girl, and
I was like, well not. It was what he's like, Yeah,
(27:29):
he's met the mother. He's over like four or five
times a week. And it was me thinking, you know everything,
it was all happy days, but like that is it.
I feel like that's a situation that a lot of
people have probably gone through.
Speaker 2 (27:41):
Its still a good life, It's still a juicy lie.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Not good life for me, but not good life.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
It was years ago, my Heart's field, but oh hundred
the heads Did you catch out? A massive lie?
Speaker 7 (27:58):
Mary empj MA and P the podcast.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
That's I'm just saying that I've had a friend for
the last six months who allegedly has a partner that
we haven't met yet, and the other day we were
joking about how he might have made this guy up,
and then I was honestly for like, I was lying
in bed that night going and mention if he has
made this guy out and we just called him this
massive lie.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
I was like, what, I feel so bad for him.
He does have a partner, right, he does have a partner.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
We still ever met him, but he does have a partner.
But it got us thinking, what are the wild lies
you've caught someone?
Speaker 1 (28:35):
All Right, we've got some calls coming through. Oh light
one hundred that has Carl's joining us. Hi, Carly, what
lie did you catch out?
Speaker 9 (28:42):
Hello? A girl at Yearnie made a Facebook page for
some guy and sin she was in a relationship with
him and even went out and bought her own engagement
hang and everything, and we caught her out when we
found the receipt for them bring.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Oh no makes me.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Did you sort of like bring it up with her
that you'd found that, Like, how did she sort of respond?
Speaker 9 (29:10):
Yeah, we brought it out. She got really defensive about
it and then sort of just came out and told
us that yeah, it had been a big lie.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Okay, here's my next question. How much had she spend
on the bloody in cage.
Speaker 9 (29:22):
I think of memory, it was about twelve hundred and
twelve fourteen hundreds UNI.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
A lot of money. Yeah, oh my god, thank you
so much for your call, Carly. We've got a prize
coming your way.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
It is wild.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
That is wild, you he as well, like would there
be pressure to be engaged?
Speaker 2 (29:41):
I don't think so stay alone, have a boy for god.
I didn't have a boyfriend to was in my thirties
and I'm pushing forty, as you mentioned, Peach, So I did.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Not say that I stopped myself. Alie's going to JV
on the fight, Oh one hundred hairs? What was the
wildlie you caught out? JB.
Speaker 8 (29:59):
So basically last year I was first year the Halls
of Residence and there was this girl that, like me
and a group of people just as you do first year,
like made friends with and the first week she had
told us like dad had passed away, and yes, yeah,
so as you do, like all the girls had comfort
her for like it was probably three months on. It
(30:20):
had come to her for three months and we've just
been getting told that you basically her dad had died,
and moral lives about how she was this d one
ice hockey player from Canada that's over here, and it's
about to go back to some D one scholarship which
is going to hopefully get drafted into the women's NHL.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Right.
Speaker 8 (30:41):
Yeah, So basically got about five months down the down
the track, and we thought some stuff wasn't adding up,
so we've decided to look a bit into it. Turns
out there was no such thing as the Women's Ice
Hockey League as the NHL, there was no D one offer,
and to top off, we thought maybe even she was
(31:02):
lying about her dad. So we did some more digging,
found him online with a phone number, called him and
the answers, Oh my.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
God, what did she say when you guys like watched
it all ours? Or did you even approach her?
Speaker 9 (31:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (31:19):
We did, Like, we went to her and she just
she just lied about it again, trying to say that
he just disappeared and that no one had told her anything.
She was just telling us that he was dead.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
But but it was all life because on top of that,
she had told us that her mom was now dating
her brother, her dad's identical brother.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
Thank you so much. Wow, I just feel like some
people just are wired to be like that, Like you
are like a pathological liar. Sometimes do we take one
more or are we done to the other time.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Let's let's go to an ad break and we'll figure
out up with sugar Bames.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
We've got a sugar sugar base and the way the
fact we might come back calls because they're quite doucing.
Thank you very much for getting your time the podcast
the heads.
Speaker 2 (32:11):
I watched too much television, I'm putting that out. I
do watch a lot.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
I will admit you definitely often bring up scenarios. Well,
oh my god, imagine if that happened and it's like
may you've been watching as we talked about, like when
you put yourself out there on the plane and you
were expecting your wrong combine with Hugh Grant and it
didn't happen. That's okay, though. I think it's nice to
dip into a bit of fantasy world. Sometimes it's quite
(32:37):
healthy all the time.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Other times it's really unhealthy. And then something that happened
to me today that made me think, and maybe I
need to put down the remote for a little bit
and like stiff away, just like breathe and takeing some
real world scenarios, because clearly things are going to my head.
Have you ever heard of something something called soundtrack dissonance? No,
(33:03):
neither had I, except I googled my thoughts today and
it turns out there's a term for it. I was
listening to this really upbeat song, rock the Boat. You'll
know it, You know this one?
Speaker 1 (33:17):
Yeah, rock the Boat.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
Yeah, such a beautiful upbeat song, and it put me
in such a happy mood. I was like, I was
out for a walk with ODIs, and you know me,
sometimes I do do a little bit of a boggie
when I'm alone, and I was like, oh, this is
such a good song. Then I had this thought. There
has been so many scenarios and TV shows lately where
they will put a really happy, upbeat song over top
(33:42):
of a really grim dark scene.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
Oh my god, Yes that is a thing lately, right, yes,
And it's like there's like a murder going on, and
then there's like a real upbeat song and it's like,
hang on, this is really red start.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
So if we can lift the music a little bit.
I was walking along and I could picture the scene
in my head. I was like, Okay, he's walking through
the house. This guy's walking through the house. He's going
down the stairs into the basement and he's kind of dancing,
and you think everything's fine, and then he turns the
corner and there's someone sitting in a chair with the
(34:20):
masking tape over their mouth, their hands tied behind their back,
and he starts killing them. And I thought, what is
wrong with me that this is going through my mind?
Speaker 1 (34:30):
Okay, this is evidence that you are watching way.
Speaker 2 (34:34):
Look too much.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
I've actually done the same thing. I like, I've had
that moment where I'm like, oh my god, you feel
like you're in like a real dark sace. Maybe maybe
not with the hippie music.
Speaker 2 (34:44):
But this isn't so it's called so I googled it.
I was like, what is there a thing where they
play happy music over crazy scenes? And it's called soundtrack dissonance.
It's meant to like trick your brain into thinking that
something that something's going to happen that actually the complete
opposite happens.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
Okay, many, my dear, I love you, Put down the remote,
step away from the TV, and get outside.
Speaker 7 (35:13):
Many and many MPG the podcast.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
Look, this might sound really trivial, but I was sitting
in the bathroom this morning, and as I went to
clean the toilet. Oh God, just a criminald myself as
I was looking down at the toilet brush beside the bowl,
and I just I just thought because it was in
(35:39):
the office, it was in the work toilet, and I thought, like,
I'm just going to give it a little clane just
to look nice for the people who come in here.
But as I was doing it, I thought, this is
literally the grossest contraption ever.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
I always think that always.
Speaker 1 (35:55):
So eral, like in so many, so many ways cleans it.
There is always someone from the brush.
Speaker 2 (36:03):
Does anyone ever clean their toilet brush?
Speaker 1 (36:06):
I don't know, but I feel like it needs a
hot wash if they do clean it, Like that thing
is virile. How in twenty twenty four do we not
have a more efficient device, Like if you use it,
you have to scrub at the bowl, right and even
I mean not like I mean, I'm just speaking on
behalf of my husband, but like, I just feel like
(36:29):
it's effort having to use it, and it's disgusting. And
then when you pull it up, the water always drops
on your head somewhere between bringing it out of the
bowl into its little holder. It's horrendous, and it ends
up on the toilet seat like surely does anyone have
a bitter alternative for what we can use instead of that?
(36:50):
What are you disgusting toilet brush?
Speaker 2 (36:52):
Now that you've I mean, now that you've seen it
your I mean, look, this is a gross chair to have.
But we're having the chair, we're having the chat. So
you're scrubbing, yes, and you're obviously scrubbing the remnants of yes. Yeah,
that stays on the brush. Surely that's not going anything.
Speaker 1 (37:11):
And like, sorry, but Maddie, how often do you change
your toilet brush at home? Not often?
Speaker 2 (37:16):
Not often, not often? I reckon some people, I reckon
there will be people out there who have had the
same toilet brush for like twenty years, and.
Speaker 1 (37:24):
Maybe on the other end of the spectrum, there are
people that do actually change it regularly. I feel like
I need to be more like you. I knew someone
once who refused to use the toilet brush. I think
she'd like actually use like wipes or loft toilet paper instead,
because I just think she could not deal with the brush.
So if you've got a better alternative on what we
(37:46):
can use, I know this might seem trivial, but that's
a terrible experience. Please please text your thoughts to four
for a seven podcast
