The Hits Drive with Meddi and Pja thanks to Chimis
Wearhouse the Real House of Fragrances.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Hello, welcome to the podcast. Everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
I have this problem with your husband, Meddie Ryan. Is
he a good listener?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (00:20):
Yeah, he's Yeah, he is a good listen. He's a
good listener. Yeah, he doesn't always love like me talking.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
But he's a good listener in general.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
If I if I sit down with him for like
a considered chat, he will listen to me.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Yeah, you look, I'd say BJ is by hoey in
that situation to like, you know, he will have a
good chat with me if he you know, if I
respect that time and attention.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
But every day matters, like yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
Here's what he's. What I've noticed that about Ryan is
I will say I will talk to him, and if
he's in the middle of doing something, like if he's
working or something, and I say it out loud, his
brain does like take it in, but he just doesn't
respond to me. And then literally like three minutes later,
he'll he'll be like, what was that? And I'll be like, well,
(01:12):
that was three minutes ago that we talked about that,
and what you want me to repeat myself? Now it's
the moments past. We've moved on.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yeah, maybe it's about packing the right time to tell
them important things. Because this morning I was at the
vet and I get a text from BJ and he goes,
hals fag because our dear lab had a bit of
messed tis poor girl saw today's for fucking girl, and
and he goes, how's she going? And I missaion. I said, look,
(01:41):
it's all good. She doesn't even fiction. It's just Early
missed it us. We've just got to run some antibiotos.
Then he calls me and he goes, how's fag? What's
what's the deal? And I was like, I literally just
text you there? But he anyway, So we have that
chat and then I'm driving to work and his dad
and have him go pasting the four wheeler. Early goes, so,
what's the deal with Fig? And I think, I don't
(02:03):
know why he does it? Like that is why I'm
starting a chat because I know that he knows I've
already talked to about it.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Yeah, is it because his dad's there? I don't know.
Is this just like a is this a bloke thing?
Speaker 4 (02:14):
I reckon, it's just a thing. I wonder whether it's
the kind of thing where he's taken it and processed it,
but when he sees you, it's almost like it's the
first thing to come out of his mouth before his
brain actually reminds himself that he.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
That's right, folks want mesa. She's about to go into biotics.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
Yeah, that is weird.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
He does it.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Oh, he will do it with several things though, And
I think I know he knows, Like, yeah, I don't know.
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
He does some weird little things sometimes.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
I mean, men in general do weird things, right.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
I know.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
And I just it's so crazy how differently our brains
are wired. Like we're literally just totally different in the
brain department.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
I think I have a female more of a female
bro in so many ways.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Do you think? So what the way you deal with emotions.
Speaker 4 (03:09):
Or whay I deal with emotions? The way I process
emotions really simple things Like Ryan. One of the things
about Ryan is he is terrible at looking for things. Well,
I can't find my jersey and I'll be like have
you looked? And He's like, yeah, I looked, I couldn't
find it. And I will literally open up the wardrobe
and I'll be like that's right there, and there's such
(03:30):
a I.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Feel like there's such a.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
In this little old me.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
What about because my guys just kidding. Man, you're lucky.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
You don't get a period, Like do you feel like
you do get a certain time of the month, Like
is there any time where you feel like your emotions
like super high ened? Like I know you don't actually
technically have have but do you do you wound?
Speaker 4 (04:00):
I don't think I did, Like, no, I was just
all it is is that I can like look for
things better.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Yeah right, okay, sweat, I've still got to got a deck.
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Okay, anyway, enjoy.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
In the podcast coming up, we talk what do we
talking about today? We talked about when you hit reply
all accidentally inspired by one of our colleagues real life stories.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Then we talked about your lyric missheits like what we
misheard lyrics? You thought the song Fantasy by Mariah Carey
was sweet? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Because and I was not alone. There were so many
people that met me up on that pull us.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
What were you gonna say?
Speaker 4 (04:45):
You say, so many people? I think they were, Like, no, they.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Were, And then people liked their comments on Instagram, which
counts is more people okay.
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Anyway, there were some great ones from from you guys.
Well it was awesome.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Also, or I opened up about some insecurities. I've got
some insecurities of my chest, don't we all?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Don't we all? So yeah, that's coming up in the podcast,
plus so much more.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
Enjoy many in the podcast.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
It's been a day, has been a day Matthew McLain
keys speaking of keys, Where a mine? Where were mine?
My son Charlie. I love nothing more in this world
than this boy. But he is going through a phase
at the moment. We a he'll put everything in the
rubbish bin luntifully. Over the weekend, I was like, where's
(05:42):
my moisturizer? I sure enough, go right to the bottom
of the bin.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
It's there.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
You know, he's hiding, like catching utensils in the burn
I think I'm going to actually have to change the
location of it. And then today I was already running
late because I live really and as I'm driving up
our road, I see BJ, my husband's nana, so I
chat with her for a bit. I see BJ and
his dad on the four wheelers, so we're having a chat.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Tell you what.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Ten minutes later, I'm super late to work. And then
I get here and I'm like, okay, right, work, keys,
where are they? They were in the front of the
car like I always put them in the same spot.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
And then I remembered Charlie.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
We went and watched my husband's rugby game over the
weekend and he was sort of cruising around the car
when it was stationary, and he obviously had packed them up,
and so I searched like the whole car back and
forth like three times. I was like, oh my god,
because no one else was in the building and our
whip building. I live in the wider uffer and I
work here sometimes in this building, and literally it's just
(06:42):
me and one other and she wasn't here.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
So it's like what do I do?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Anyway, they were under this like I had another good
rummage underneath the car seat, and they were under the air.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
For such for a relatively new show, like we haven't
really been on there for that long. I would say,
this is a very regular occurrence that something goes wrong
with the keys or the door or the lock. Something
goes wrong, and you very nearly don't make it into
the building.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
But do you know what the important part is, I
make it here in the end, and we're on here
at three, so you're.
Speaker 6 (07:19):
Welcome guy the podcast that's.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Got our big, Big work conference later this week.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
I must say this is the first work conference I've
ever been to.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Have ever been to a work conference either because we're
very actually corporate, we're wildly unprofessional the best of times,
so we're not usually corporate gows. But here we here
we go as.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Long as his free food.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I am in and I think I think we finish
at the buffet.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
We do, so I'm here for the conference.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
During the day, though, what will it be like? Many
like many Keisha's and little sausage rolls and stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I don't know what the goal is these days. Club sandwiches?
Do they still fly?
Speaker 4 (07:56):
If you've been to a if you've been to work
conference recently, what are you what goes what goes off?
Speaker 1 (08:02):
If it was kind of culty, doesn't it what like
on BIG's business conference?
Speaker 4 (08:07):
I know you mean. Anyway, we've got this conference, and
we just got an email this afternoon from our boss, Harriet.
Because you know, there's a lot of people coming from
out of town. We don't all work together in the
same building, so we often don't necessarily cross paths with
everyone that's part of the Hits family, and so they
want to do like a bit of a get to
(08:27):
know you session, and so we had to. We got
an email to say, hey, can you guys send me
like a fun fact about yourself, maybe an interesting story,
like a weird fact something like that that we can
use as a bit of a get to know you icebreaker.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Session of fodder, but a small chat.
Speaker 4 (08:45):
Bit of fodder. Now, anyone that reads this, I think
would say, okay, well, we don't need you don't want
the story to be given away. So this is clearly
just a reply to the one person email, not a reply.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
All right, even I and you know me, it was technology,
but I could I could understand that straight away.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
It was a no brainer. Who replied all to the
thirty plus people on this email one mister Jonathan pryor
John o Ay email crime.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
I know this is not the first time like we
have given you came from the past, because you're always
the enthusiastic work colleague who's like great guys, amazing, like
you're super positive to everyone, and then it makes us
look bad.
Speaker 4 (09:28):
And once again you were the very first person to reply. Well,
as so we think because everyone else would have just
gone straight to the boss.
Speaker 7 (09:35):
But so can we the reason why we need licenses
for people to get on the internet.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Now here's my question. Did you know that it was
just meant to go to Harriet and you accidentally replied all?
Or did you not realize that we shouldn't be seeing
these messages that you were sending.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
I'm an open book. Many people need to know unfacts
In all thirty people on an.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Email, John O, can we read out what you wrote?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Or is that pretty? Is that private information?
Speaker 4 (10:09):
People? Exactly?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
So, John I wrote, was wrongly accused of a crime
by the New Zealand police walking home from town. They
pulled up, handcuffed me and took me into the cells
and said I've been stomping on cars. They took my
boats away for forensic testing and everything. Three weeks later
a police car turned up with my boots in a
paper bag and said it wasn't me. I said, I
kind of knew that, And then John O, you finished
the email saying, fun fact, I know all of the
(10:32):
words to the Tucks dog food song. So can you
can you serenade us right now.
Speaker 7 (10:42):
That many people wouldn't know as beyond the thirty second
commercial slot. There's a full length song about dogs and
the love of tux dog food.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Okay, well, we're already getting the wrap up sign from
our producers, so we won't go the full length version today.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Can you give us a long taster?
Speaker 7 (10:58):
Okay, So it goes Tucks keeps him full of life,
but there's a fiddle sharp as a knife, and dogs
keeps him full of life, lean and meaning over the
work and with the move and the cattle and shifting
them up. It's the for the working dogs, okay, for
the hangar to the bluff reads him and then it
(11:25):
kind of kind of backs device down for a bit
there and kicks backing and it's amazing.
Speaker 4 (11:30):
It's amazing.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
There's always got time for this afternoon.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
I would love to know where we.
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Are calling you this afternoon, and you by yourself, please
sell you're out in public.
Speaker 7 (11:38):
I'm sitting by my daughter Poppy, I put her off
from school.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
We're just thinking that song.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
It's bad.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
Now you're going to have to come up with another
fun fit because we already are. Yeah, exactly know it
on the email chain.
Speaker 7 (11:52):
I've got no more.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Okay, they're sinking us thinking though on all right hundred
and the hats When did you accidently reply to all?
I love that this like this was tame in the
grand scheme of things. It could be so much worse
what you replied to your whole company. We want to
hear it on the text machine four full eight seven
or get in touch, oh right hundred.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
The hats many in the podcast.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
We've just been.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Chatting about when you accidentally replied all on the email chain.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
John O from John and Ben.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Breakfast Show did this just literally within the last half
an hour, and he shared a quiet personal story about
himself to thirty colleagues.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
And now we all know, and now we all know,
and we've shared it with the nation, But.
Speaker 1 (12:41):
We wanted to know when this happened to You can
text us four full eight seven or give us a
call eight hundred hats.
Speaker 4 (12:46):
Someone's text MPG to four four eight seven. A relief
teacher who worked across multiple schools emailed a bunch of
principles asking who would endorse him for his teacher's registration
Once one principle replied all saying he was hopeless and
a warm body in front of the class he was
in the email chain.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
What does what is that like a serious offense, Like
if you do something like that, can you get secked?
Speaker 4 (13:14):
I don't think you could get secked for it. I
just think you'd have to hidden the set.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Just take a really long hope around to forget about
it when you come back. A Lea's go to Joy
on the phone. Hello, Joy, did this happen to you? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (13:28):
So Ice to work for a company. You may have
heard of it.

They distributed yellow books advertisement.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
You know either one.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Yeah, well so I worked there and back in the day,
you know, when you're sort of quite not that email
fairy as such, We had a client that used to
wait till the last day, you know, when the book
was about to close, so he'd get hi stuff a discount,
so he would actually ring. So he emailed through to
you know, the sales group, and then it got forwarded
to me and I'm not realizing that he was on it,
(13:58):
and I replied, all, oh, Joy, just the butt And
he's such a toy, as.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
I mean, he wanted him.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Did he reply or open?
Speaker 3 (14:10):
He put it that way. He put me through the
ringer because you know, you got the artwork and it's
the print and he's through the Ringer because I knew
he needed their advertising, but he made me work for.

Mary J. Many and PJ the podcast The Heads Many.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
You've said a few times on the show lately that
you've been trying to up your skills when it comes
to becoming a handyman at home.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
You got the lawn mower out the other day. You
did have to YouTube, but I.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Got it, but I did get it started and the
lawns got mods tried and it's I did.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (15:01):
I did also use the hedge trimmer, thinking it was
the like edging machine, but I tried.
Speaker 1 (15:09):
So with this in mind, would we say that there's
like room for improvement when it comes to your DIY
Handyman's girls For Nettie maclay, here's the thing.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
I am fine if someone tells me what to do,
like if someone says, if someone gives me very clear instructions,
I'll get it done. I'm not like a total buffoon.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
Yeah, oh no, of course not. Yeah, you can follow
a good instruction.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
Right, Yeah, but I am I self started with DIY stuff.
Probably not.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
So I want you to say thank you because I
don't know if you noticed last week you got a
little special tag on Facebook.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
Oh I noticed, so I couldn't help.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
But notice I was perusing some community pages, as I
do find quite good content on there.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
It's good chat. It's just good to feel like you're
in the community.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
Anyway, I did notice that someone was looking for a
bit of a handyman who could help set up a
bid frame. And they've been trying and they just had
no success. So they said, look, I just need someone
who knows a bit about putting furniture together. I tagged
yours truly, Maddie Mcleanan.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Did you know?
Speaker 4 (16:24):
Yeah, because I got a Yes, I did, because I
got of a notification on Facebook. And I must admit
I'm not I'm not a prolific Facebook user. Not many
of my friends are really using it that much anymore.
So when a notification comes through, it's like front and
sink tour, right, And I got a notification that you
tagged me in a post. I clicked into it, and yes,
(16:45):
I said, looking for a handyman who could help me
set up my bed frame. Been trying and frailing for hours,
and you said, Maddie McClain, is your man did mine?
And was very profision.

you to step up. So I've been waiting and I've
been waiting for you to hear back from this lovely person,

come clean and go? You've been had?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Do you know what the best part is?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
It was you and two other people that were tagged
in and obviously obviously they were fast, superior.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
I wonder do you remember what she did as she
went into the profile patch? Who looked the most capable profile?
So I'm sorry, middy, Maybe we try again until you
get caught up. I wonder what someone would want you

Oh what do you reckon? Out of team? Just quick, like, guys,
I reckon?
Speaker 4 (20:40):
That was a solid eight out of team.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
I was going to give a really okay, just the
difference seven and a half will take the podcast.
Speaker 4 (20:49):
It's just well established on the show that I'm very competitive.
Speaker 6 (20:52):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
I love I love competing. I'm not necessarily always good
at competing, and I'm definitely not very good when it
comes to lose.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
I thought you were kind of playing up that fact
when I first met you, like, just like it's a
fun kind of like competitive thing. It gets scary when you're.
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Sorry, and I am sorry, and I do try and
curve my head behavior And do you know the worst
part page I'm so much better now than I ever
used to be. And that says a lot, right, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (21:18):
I know.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
So he hasn't got worse is you've aged, it's.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
Got better, which is.
Speaker 2 (21:24):
Not How did you like play sports?
Speaker 4 (21:28):
I didn't think that or not successfully? Okay, right, it
was a terrible infliction. I was so competitive, but I
was so terrible at sport. It was horrible. But I
do love I love a googble, love a good ball game,
Yeah you do.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
I feel like there's something we need to pull out,
like on the weekends and stuff, or even like a weeknight,
just to max it up because there is something so
wholesome about it.
Speaker 2 (21:52):
There's so much better than watching TV.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
It's so much fun. It's so much fun. The hardest
part about a ball game, though, and anyone will anyone
that ever plays regularly will attest to this, is the
describing of the rules to someone that's never played before.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
I hate being that guy.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
When you're the new one and everyone else knows how
to play and they just want to get onto it,
but you have to explain the game.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
My sister was in town visiting from Sydney over the
weekend and we really wanted to play this game. It's
and it sounds so lame when you explain it to someone,
but it's so much fun. It's called Bonanza. It's a
game where you trade beans with each other.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
What kind of beans?
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Like?
Speaker 2 (22:33):
They just like little like golden.
Speaker 4 (22:35):
Coffee beans, garden beans, green beans. There's different kinds of
beans and the different beans have different tiers, different tiers
and like different values, different values, and you have to
plant the beans and harvest the best.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
What's the best kind of bean?
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Cocoa bean?
Speaker 5 (22:54):
Do you make this up?
Speaker 4 (22:56):
That's an actual game. It's a board game. Right to
pay good money for this?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (23:01):
So I had to explain this to my sister and
I was sitting there and I just going through the
instructions where you have to go where you said, okay,
so see the coffee bean, this has got this value.
If you plant this bean, then you have to harvest it.
But you only harvest it if you've got this certain thing,
and then if you've got too many, then you have
to harvest one. But you can't harvest this if you've
got this to like and you just are going through
(23:22):
it and she's looking at me like I'm absolutely crazy,
and then you just like, scrat.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
We'll just play it and you'll get it, Like as
soon as we get it.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
That is the go to.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Right's just play around and you'll get it.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
You'll get And did you get it straight away or
did it take some time?
Speaker 4 (23:39):
She actually got it pretty quickly, thank god. But it
is a terrible, terrible thing having to explain a new
board game to a new person.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
And the podcast.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
So we are usually quite selling out with many on
the show.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
Serious we like to have a little laugh.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
But you know, from time to time we experience real
human moments and I think it's important to share them
when we feel necessary.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
And the other day on my Instagram, I weirdly.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Decided to open up on one of my stories and
I talked about how since my wedding, I've kind of
just gone through this like weird phase of having really
bad self esteem with my body, which I know so
many women go through, and it's just been I don't
know if it's after I stopped bristfeeding, or if it
was like after the massive stress of a wedding and
(24:33):
like my hormones were out of whack. But I've just
felt yuck. And I've even shared this with you some days,
and I tell you not just tell me off, like.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Just stop it, because I know I do, and I do,
but also I get it because we're all guilty of it.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Right, Well, there's that, and I know that the more
I feed it, the more it grows. So often I
just try and not pay attention to it and I
kind of move on. But the other day I sort
of dropped it on my story. I think I was
working out at the time, and I said, look, recently,
my self esteem has been a bit out of whack.
And then I got a number of messages from people saying, really,
you always sort of seem really confident, and you seem
(25:07):
like you're exercising all the time, and you always seem
really healthy, and I was like, oh, I don't want
to be putting that perception out there when that's actually
not how I was feeling. And I think I actually
have a responsibility to be really honest because the social
media landscape is such now that we we just have
such a morphed lens of reality completely and we see
(25:30):
things every day, We have all these images thrown our
way and we think that's how our life is supposed
to live. And so off the back of that, I
kind of threw it out there and I said, like,
do you have comparisons that you make every day?
Speaker 2 (25:43):
And what are those?
Speaker 1 (25:45):
And my Instagram gotten inundated with just so many messages
from people that broke my heart.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
I was like, well, first of all, it's good to know.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
That I'm not the only one, you know, feeling really
insecure and constantly comparing myself to other people. But let
me just read some of the messages. I gop money,
always wondering how people can afford X y Z. That's
all I see on Instagram these days, just people splooging
on super nice things. I don't know how they can
afford it. All things motherhood not balancing back from having
kids is just plastered all over social media.
Speaker 5 (26:16):
Youth.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
I hate aging. It's hard to not see it everywhere
you look and not compare to others. I struggle with
people who get botox that we four hit wrinkle. No
one else seems to have and that looks so one
that I have felt over the last couple of years.
I think I'm getting to that age where either a
lot of people are starting to get work or we
see constant images on our Instagram where people have put
(26:39):
this filter on and so you think that's what they
look like. They don't and so we just think that
we're not like we're not keeping up and we're not enough,
And I just I wanted to have a little ramt
because this is how I'm feeling. Hopefully this can give
validation to other people who are in that boat, who
have those negative thoughts. Let this be a reminder that
what you see online every day is not true reality.
(27:00):
It is people's how people want their lives to be perceived, right,
And yeah, no, you go, Maddy.
Speaker 4 (27:06):
It's validation for those who might be feeling exactly the
same way for you, Peage. But it's this crazy thing
where you said you're often mention it to me and
I always say to you, cut it out, Peage. But
we can't say that to ourselves. We can tell other
people you're being crazy, Like, I can't believe you would
(27:27):
feel this way. You're beautiful, you're hilarious, You're such an
amazing whatever it is, we can say it to other people,
we can never say it to ourselves. And it's such
a crazy mindset that you've got to be able to flip.
I always say to people who who say negative things
about themselves to me, I say, don't you dare say
that about my friend?
Speaker 1 (27:47):
You know?
Speaker 2 (27:48):
And that's the thing.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
You would never say this to someone that you really love, right,
These thoughts you would never say to your partner or
to your family, me, your best friends. So let let's
just be a reminder if you are being hard on
yourself at the moment, you're amazing. Your uniqueness is your superpower,
and turn it around in your head. Think of that
thing that you're not good enough. Think of one thing
(28:10):
right now that you love about yourself. That's my challenge
for you this afternoon. So yeah, I'm giving you a little.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
Kiptalk Mary and Mary and PJ the podcast The Heads.
Speaker 1 (28:25):
Matthew, I don't know if this is a generational thing,
a mum thing, or just a my mum thing. Okay,
on the weekend, my mum was visiting and my lovely toddler, Charlie,
who's pushing toe he had actually fallen asleep on this
glorious bean bag we got as a wedding present. It's
a woolen beanbag.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
No piece of our furniture has got greater workout than
that bean bag. Anyway, he had fallen asleep on it,
and Mum was on her phone, scrolling through whatever she does,
and videos kept puffing up, and they were on four
volume because my mum bliss her.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
She's deaf and wanted. She has things quite.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
Loud, and instead of tuning it down or stopping the video,
she'd go s.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
She started shushing the phone. I think she panicked, like
you know when you have that reaction.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
I don't know if she always does this, and I
think it might have been because she was panicking so
hard that Charlie was there. She didn't want to wake
him up. She she forgot how to think, She forgot
how to turn off her phone, so she.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Just started shushing the phone.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Turn her off and she keeps going, should just keep
clicking in. Oh my god.
Speaker 4 (29:41):
I mean they're intuitive. I don't know that, so they're
just my mom thing. I think. I don't think I've
ever seen my mum shush. But the way that she
does handle technology. I wouldn't be surprised.
Speaker 2 (29:55):
Quite similarly, you're right, Mary and TJ.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
Maddy and pja' the podcast.
Speaker 4 (30:03):
You've talked in the past about how it takes a
village right to raise a child.
Speaker 1 (30:07):
It short us, it short us. Honestly, I don't know
what I do without the village around me. I know
I couldn't be working right now, that's for sure. Like
it does take a lot to raise a child.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
So imagine a mom's surprise when she dropped off her
young daughter at her sister's house for the afternoon, expecting
everything to go well. Her sister has kids of her own,
and she needed to work. This woman, Jessica needed to
work over the weekend, so she asked her sister if
she could watch her daughter while she was away. Jessica
went back to pick up her daughter and went home,
(30:39):
and then was sent a list of every single thing
that her daughter had touched, drunk, consumed, with a breakdown
of the cost involved. She got an ennounce from her
own sister the baby sitting her daughter. It was a
(31:00):
seventy two dollar in voice, with things like fifty cents
per flush to flush.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
The toilet, no you're taking them, She said.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Her daughter flushed the toilet five times, hand washing five
times at fifty cents, using the electricity to play video games.
She played My Little Pony for twenty minutes. That's seven
bucks sorry, bag of chips, a dollar cup of milk,
a dollar cup of apple juice, two dollars fifty Netflix
(31:33):
to watch a movie four dollars fifty and all are
totaled seventy two dollars that she was ordered to pay
by April the thirtieth, to avoid any interest. To avoid
any interest.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
This feels like a sassy move on the sister's behalf.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
I feel like, so when she dropped her daughter off,
does it say how much notice she gave. It feels
like this was maybe a last minute thing, and the
sister was like, look, I'm bloody stretched here.
Speaker 4 (32:02):
It sounds like it was a last minute so I
get and look, we've talked about it before. Costs of
living crime, yeah, absolutely, But there are some I would
say potentially reasonable reasonable charges, like gas money to drive
her around, dinner. They ordered dinner from a takeaway restaurant,
(32:26):
so there was like a change. Most things are totally fair.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
When you're charging for every toilet flush that to me,
those feels like petty sister business. There should have stayed
between them. Obviously there's something going on.
Speaker 4 (32:38):
Ten dollars to use the Wi Fi on her iPad
so that the daughter could play ten dollars outrageous.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
I feel like this is one of those things. Sure,
if you've got to charge, like, but not to fy
the person first. If she's just going to be stung
with the bell.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Afterwards, that's a joke.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
That is such a job. In fact, the text for
seven has this ever happened in your family?
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Is this a thing?
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Do you think that this woman was in her right
to charge for every flush that was made during your
time babysitting? Maybe, you know, maybe we don't quite see
the full picture. Let us know if you think she
was in the right text four for eight.
Speaker 5 (33:16):
Seven Median the podcast The Heads.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
On the show last week. I don't know how this happened.
My first time in my oh how long have I
been radio now A long time. For the first time,
I discovered that Mariah Carey's song Fantasy here.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
I'll play you a little bit just so you'll know.
Speaker 7 (33:37):
The hook.
Speaker 2 (33:41):
Banger one of Maddy McLean's favorite.
Speaker 4 (33:43):
It's truly one of my all time favorite Yeah, and we.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Were coming out of it.
Speaker 1 (33:46):
We were really hired to be playing that during our
show last week, and as we were coming out, Maddy
left the mic on and was singing the lyrics, which
was sweet, sweet Fantasy baby.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
The name of the song.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
It's called fantasy and I and I knew that it
was cool fantasy, but I just never even put to
onto it together. And I sweet to god it was
medicine baby. I always thought it was sweet, sweet medicine baby.
Like when you listen to it, you can hear that, right,
can you hear that?
Speaker 4 (34:20):
No?
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Here we go, sweet sweet No, Okay, let's gone now.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
Anyway, we posted this video on our Facebook and Instagram
over the weekend, and there were quite a.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
Lot of people that back me up, saying page, You're
not alone.
Speaker 1 (34:32):
It was not quite a lot, that is like, there
were a few and then a few other people liked
the comments that you.
Speaker 4 (34:41):
Sound like one of those influencer ghirlies going so many
people who have been asking me for my skin Kia routine.
No one asked you, and no one agreed with you
about fancy. Maybe one person agreed with you.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Okay. There were a couple.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Anyway, it did inspire us to ask those lyrics that
you have always thought for something and then you realize, no, no, no,
there's something else. Someone said, hey ya you know and
the hey your song by Outcast. This one here, someone
thought it was shake it like a pony writing teacher.
Speaker 4 (35:14):
Teachers of a follow o picture. She like, oh my god,
that's so good. That's brilliant.
Speaker 7 (35:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
And then another person said, when my daughter was for
she used to always think, and it's in shape of you.
Speaker 2 (35:28):
This one here, she'd smell like you.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
She always thought it was my butget smell like you
instead of my bad smell like you. So I thought
for a very fun and easy one this afternoon to
ease into the wake. What was the lyrics that you
always mis heard? What did you think was the song
lyrics for like years and then you just go it?
Oh no, no, no, I was wrong the whole time.
(35:58):
I waite hundred the hats ticks four four eight seven.
I've got some Chemistry House prizes to give away.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
No shame, guys.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
Look, I literally just discovered this Mariah Carey song, and
I've been on radio for like nearly twenty years. Not
really twenty years but a long time.
Speaker 5 (36:15):
Mary J.
Speaker 6 (36:17):
Mady and PJ the podcasts.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
We're talking lyric mishaps. What lyrics did you get wrong
for a very long time? Oh wait, unter the hurts
or text four for eight seven? You so really good
ones coming through?
Speaker 3 (36:30):
You thought?
Speaker 4 (36:30):
The song Fantasy by Mariah Carey said, sweet sweet medicine baby.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
You know, I mean the song title is a giveaway.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
I should have known, but you know when you just
get it in your head and then it's just stuck
like that way for ever.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
Well, someone takes in and said, my sister used to
think cheap thrills. The song by Sea was cheese grills.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
I love cheese grills. Another one said, and the TLC
song No Scraps. I always thought it was a scrub
as a gat are so known as a bust up,
but you know how it's busters. Let's go to bigs, Hello, bigs, Hey, Hey,
what were the lyrics.
Speaker 2 (37:13):
You got wrong?
Speaker 10 (37:14):
And so for Queen we will rock you. It says
waving you're beanner all over the place, and we me
and my sisters used to think it was waving your
butter all over the place, all over the yeah, and
we got out of the fridge to like wave it
around and we were putting on concert.
Speaker 7 (37:34):
Yeah, and I.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
Think you never even questioned it. You were like, yeah,
that makes total sense, waving your butter. Of course you
would hundred percent, And we waved the butter like that.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
You always go for the option that literally makes the
least sense.
Speaker 1 (37:51):
Another one ticks and saying, my friends, ate your old
little brother used to walk around the house singing the
line from Independent Woman by Destiny's Child Shoes.
Speaker 2 (37:58):
Maurfy fa the clothes and wear it that fuck it
has and hysterics. I've never forgotten it twenty years later.
Speaker 4 (38:06):
Instead I bought it. That is brilliant.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
So good Caitlin, Oh, I hand to the hats. Hi, Hi, guys,
what the lyrics you got wrong?
Speaker 8 (38:16):
So it was my teacher and for receiving next song
age of seventeen. It starts just like a wide wing dub,
but he thought it was a one winged duve.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
Is a wide winged page.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
I absolutely thought it was one way dumb.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
You're learning a lot this week. You're learning so.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Much to make fair, guys, they sound the same and
a one winged dumb that is actually a possible lyric.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
So on the on the top topic of birds, someone
