Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Hits Drive with Meddi and Pja thanks to Chimis
Wearhouse the Real House of Fragrances on that Hi everyone,
Welcome to the podcast. Eddie and I've just been talking
about Sabrina Carpenter.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
We love Sabrina Carpenter.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
How hot is the video? No No, the video of
Please Please Please, her new single, so she obviously goes
out with Barry Cogan Cogan, the guy from Saltburn. I
still haven't seen Saltburn, but I know what he looks like. Anyway.
I didn't get the riz of Barry until I watched
the music video you know when You're just I was
so gutted because I was nearly in bed the other night,

(00:37):
nearly asleep, and then I just happened to catch she
did like a tease of her song, and then I
went down a massive wormhole, and you know, then that's
you for like the next twenty minutes. And then I
fall asleep thinking about Barry and Sabrina, like this isn't they.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
I saw a thing the other day about the fact
that gen Zias have gone wild for sixy rat guys.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
Yes, I saw this her.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Hot road and boyfriend people like I think Barry Cogan
might fall into that category.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
I think they used him as an example. Wouldn't you
be absolutely gutted if someone called you a hot rodent
on paper? A hot rodent does not sound hot? Was
the other one they used as an example.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Timothy Salla May Jeremy Allen White, who's in that TV
show The Beer.

Speaker 1 (01:23):
He is hot? I get it. Did you ever get
into the beer? You didn't?

Speaker 2 (01:28):
They no, but I would like to. I would like to.
I just don't have the right streaming platform. We had to.
We had to consolidate. We had we had them all, yes,
I think, and then we just when we're not watching
enough to like utilize them all. So let's consolidate. So
we got.

Speaker 1 (01:44):
Rid of you like to use my password for Disney?

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Can I?

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Yeah? Actually? Well, actually how many how many devices?

Speaker 3 (01:53):
I don't know?

Speaker 1 (01:54):
It off?

Speaker 2 (01:57):
We should? I should? I give it a go? And then, yeah,
give it a go. If it doesn't lock me in,
then I'll then you.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Might see all the weird stuff that I've secretly been
watching it continue watching?

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Would you have to set up my own profile page
or something?

Speaker 4 (02:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Maybe maybe we'll do that, but yeah, no, it is good.
And actually Jeremy from The Beer is another one. I
went mad stalk mode after watching and I started following,
like because he's actually a dad, and then I started
following his partner he's actually split up with since being
On the Beer, and then I followed their relationship and
I was like, fuck, ma, you're thirty three, Like, you
can't just be stalking celebrity couples anymore. It's just it's

(02:37):
a bit strange.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
We all do it?

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Do you have you got caught into.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
So so many people?

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Really?

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah, definitely. I'm trying to think like who's specifically at
the moment.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Like hot gay couples, hot straight couples? What's your niche?

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yeah? I mean if you look at my Instagram, like
what what do they call it?

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Like you, what's on your explore right now?

Speaker 2 (03:06):
Okay, I'm just gonna be honest. I've taken a screenshot
of what it mainly looks like, and I'm just about
to send you a photo of it.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Sabrina carb Is she Yeah, Sabrina Taylor Swift most likely
if it's real narcissistic psychopathic abuse. There's another one all
about narcissists.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Do you have one of those in life at the moment?

Speaker 1 (03:33):
I know someone, I know someone who knows someone. You've
sent me yours. Let me have a lot. Okay, so
Maddy's Explore page. Are you surprised it's all ripped naked guys,
not all half naked. Okay, sorry, okay, let's go so
that all the top leaf guys hot hot right with

(03:56):
the mo so that Okay. That guy's got like dungeries
and a T shirt like he's driving a truck. The
other one swimming with his musks out. Okay, there's one
video it's the shortest interview in television history. That's the
only thing that's not And then there's one other video yep.
And then there's a.

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Drag queen in the corner as well, just for.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
Goods, drake in the corner. But MIDDI every other photo
I don't realize that. Can you get pretty much like
soft porn on Instagram?

Speaker 2 (04:27):
Yeah? Join the club.

Speaker 1 (04:30):
This is why I can't leave bej on there. I
can't leat him on. It'll be a whole new world.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
I would love to be on Instagram.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
He's been threatening it. He wants to get free shirt.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Our group chair, I don't know. Have we talked about this.
We have a we have a group chat the four
of us, Me and my husband Ryan, and PJ and
her husband BJ. And BJ is so enthusiastic in the
group chair.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
I know, I know, he gets quite king and I'm like, pump, pump,
pump the brakes. You're looking a little bit too and
things right now. He just well, I was.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Going to say, we had you and I hang out
Monday through Friday. Would it be too much for the
four of us to go away on a group trip weekend,
to get all week.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
In this no recovery time though? Okay, let's okay, let's
commit to maybe one night, maybe one night, and then
see how that goes. I think we'd go pretty well
because both of our hobbies mellow us out and they
bring us back to earth. We're both like little divas.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
And just chaotic Davis with big egos and chaotics just
look at us and go chill.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yeah, so I think it could be a nice weekend.
I would definitely it would be.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
Actually it would be What would be scary is I
think BJ and Ryan would It would be a dangerous
thing to put them in a room together.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
I think I know they would start scheming, because they
both actually come up with a lot of contients I do.
And then yeah, pretend we've got to be careful.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
They pretend like they hate the limelight, that they secretly
love love it.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
They love it. I actually think we're gonna be weary
of solidifying that. But it'd be danger head, it could
be caution.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Okay, let's start with the dinner and then see where
we go from there.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Okay, done, All right, guys, we've chatted too much. The
podcast is coming up. We talked about how far you
went to get something? How far did you travel to
get a certain something? Art group therapy is a doozy.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Great one, the weird ways that people eat normal foods.
And also I shared my driver's license photo.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
I actually really insulted many with how I compared him
to So you can go check that photo on our
Instagram page. The hats drive. Enjoy the podcast and we'll
see you.

Speaker 5 (06:41):
So the podcast.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
So recently we went on a road trip, you and
I for work, and we went around the country. And
when we go away, obviously we were driving like work vehicles,
so work and said, can we get your license, your
license details, your driver's license detail, yeah, so that we
can put them on file. And so I went and
had to look at my license and then realized, oh

(07:08):
my gosh, my license has expired.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
How far out was it?

Speaker 2 (07:13):
Like a couple of weeks?

Speaker 1 (07:15):
Oh yeah, was it the radio vision? A couple of years?

Speaker 6 (07:19):
No?

Speaker 2 (07:19):
No, no, it was very recent, but I g but
it was just one of those things where I didn't
get a reminder and be I, just when do you
even look at your expiring You think.

Speaker 1 (07:28):
Your license just goes for Yeah, it has about a
teen year expirence.

Speaker 2 (07:31):
Yeah. So anyway, the short story is that I had
to go and get a new one, and I went,
and I told you this. I went and finally got
my driver's license, and the lady was so taken with
my old driver's license photo that she made me try
and retake the photo five times because she wasn't happy
with how it was looking. Meanwhile, there's a massive cure
of people and I'm in there.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
She'said, no, no, no, no, no, no, just one more.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
One more. She called over it. She called over a
colleague at one point to start examining the photos to
decide which one is the best. I never saw these photos,
by the way, so I don't know. Watch what they
were talking about. The last one they got. They said
to me, close your mouth because I'm a very open
mouthed smiler, and.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
I'm so ugly if I don't smile. I've realized, like
when i'm straight faced, oh different person, like I'm I
mean not something I've got looking when I was child,
but you know.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Tweet yourself up very differently. Well, this is this is
my feeling as well. I don't really love myself with
the closed mouth, but I play cases them and took
the photo. One photo with the closed mouth. I'm now
about to send you. So the license has.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
Arrived, arrived in the mail. Feeling when you get a
new license. I love that feeling.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
I sent the photo to the group. Chair open and
you remind me of oh god, who no, I who no, No,
I'm going to.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Know it's one of my comic heroes, but ugly. But
you look like a blonde version of them. You look
like Ricky Gavace. Just hear me out. I think it's
the look in your mouth because you're doing like a

(09:25):
backward smile.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
I don't because I don't. I don't smile with my
mouth closed, and they made me do it. And then
this is the photo that they chose.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
I swear to God, you look like Wrecky your face.
And I mean it in a positive way. He is
one of my favorite people in the whole white world.
But a very blonde y. You're doing the face, You're
doing the upside down smile.

Speaker 2 (09:46):
Again, Ricky, your face is not very funny.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
It's a good looking guy. I would say he's funny.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
He's funny.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
Funny guys get the girls. Funny guys.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
I don't really want the girls. I'm sure they get
the guys too.

Speaker 1 (10:03):
Okay, Liz, please put the photo up on our Instagram story.
The drive will will blenk out your details and stuff.
See if anyone else has any other comparisons, and am
I alone in my Ricky Gervaise comparison the podcasts. You
can go check out the hats Drive on Instagram if

(10:25):
you want to see Meddi's new drive a license photo
which I compare. And I say this in a way
of love because Richie Ervas is like my comic hero.
I think you look a bit like Ricky in the
new photo. If you agree, let us know, go check
out the story. I actually think I've bruised Meddi's ego.
I don't mean it in a bad way. It's just

(10:45):
the way your mouth is angled. It's just reminiscent of Ricky.
So you can go check it out on our Instagram page,
thes Drive. In the meantime, we'd love to know on
the phones, oh white hundred the hat so you can
textuff four four eighty seven. Is there a strange way
that you eat a normal food? We were hanging out

(11:06):
with some friends on the weekend and I don't know
how this came up into conversation, but the girl she
was like talking about when she started dating her nah fiance.
They've got kids and stuff, and she was like, I
remember John, I just started dating and he just ate
a whole orange, like he ate he ate the peel

(11:28):
and everything peel at all. And I was like, what
are you doing? And he was like, this is just
how I eat oranges. And it turns out he still
does it to this day. He eats apples whole. He'll
eat the core. I don't know what it is, but
I think he just feels like when he has the fruit,
he can't leave anything. SPoD My mom does that. Actually,
she's always in a hole. Yeah, she used to always

(11:50):
eat the apple and the core. And I used to
always think that if you ate the core you'd start
growing a treat. Do you remember that? Was it like
a myth as a kid that we got told?

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah, but didn't you didn't you believe it? Like long
after the point of you should have known it was
just a man.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Ye men, I was twenty five. Yeah, but to give
me thinking, like, there are some people that just eat
a little bit different, and maybe it's because from a
young age that's how your family do it, and you
just think that's the nord totally, and then you go
out into the real world and you're like, wait, what
you don't eat? You don't eat cereal by itself, or like, yeah,

(12:28):
maybe there's just something that you eat a little bit strange.
Get in touch. Oh wait one hundred the hurt so
you can text four for eight seven? Do you anything?
We had many?

Speaker 2 (12:34):
Well, I don't think so. But now I'm trying to
think because I get I guess the beauty is for
a lot of people. They wouldn't even realize that.

Speaker 1 (12:43):
Exactly. So we've got some coffee beans to give away.
I just want to be a fun little way to
kick the kick start the show. Are you a little
bit strange and it comes to the way you eat
everyday food.

Speaker 5 (12:55):
The podcast.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
What normal Food do You Eat in a Strange Way?
We've got quite a lot of texts coming through, don't we.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Yep, listen to this one. Got to have marmite with
your poached eggs.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yes, I don't do it regularly, but I have. I've
dabbled in that. After your recomendation you poach. That gives
it like a little salty, like you have it with
on toast with a poached egg. Is that what they mean? Yeah,
it just gives it a bit of flavor.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Listen to this one. My friend has water in her cereal.
Never knew people use milk. She only found out when
we went to university.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Bliss.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
This is what we're talking about. Some people just grow
up and they think it's the norm. You can get
in touch on the phone, oh eight hundred the hits
like Sarah has done. Sarah, What food do you eat
in a strange way?

Speaker 5 (13:42):
So?

Speaker 7 (13:42):
For me, pie, so good old pie quite often on
a Sunday morning where I take the lid off the pie,
eat the lid and then scoop out the middle of
the pie and then coat the bottom of the pie
sauce and then eat the pastry.

Speaker 1 (14:03):
Why you're destroying the structure of the pie.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
What makes it so good to eat it all individually
like that?

Speaker 7 (14:13):
Oh, I don't know. I think normally the bakery that
I go to and get them from, the pastry is
just absolutely delicious a year.

Speaker 2 (14:21):
But if you add it with the mince and everything, then.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
No judgment on the show.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
Judgment, no judgment.

Speaker 1 (14:30):
Thank you very much for you, Cole. We're going to
hook you up with some coffee veins. Alex. Move on
to Marie. I like hand the hats him. Marie, how
do you eat things strange?

Speaker 8 (14:39):
Well, it's actually my son that eats it strange. He'll like,
if we have just a normal dinner, like potato, carrots,
that sort of thing, he'll he'll eat he'll eat a
potato with the fork and then he'll eat the carrot.
But then he'll swap the fork into the other hand
and eat the carrot. Then he'll eat another bit of
food he swaps it back again. It's really really weird
and unusual.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
I mean, it's ambi dextros if he's doing it between
both hands.

Speaker 8 (15:03):
No, that's the only thing he does like that. It's
really strange, and he's been doing it since he was
about four and he's put seen there still going.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Someone just said that she want to marry Sarah on
the text because she eats her pie deconstructed? So do
you go, Sarah, you've got a fan.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
You're a single? Can we cook? And got into.

Speaker 7 (15:25):
Unfortunately no?

Speaker 1 (15:28):
Oh, all right, let's keep going through to Suki oh
wite hundred the hats high Suki. How do you eat
your food? Strange?

Speaker 9 (15:36):
Well, it's not me, it's a friend's friend. And we
went round dinner to the house and she sliced up
a watermelon, put it on the table, and then we all,
you know, took our bits of watermelon, and she was like, oh,
can I have yours?

Speaker 10 (15:49):
I don't like watermelon.

Speaker 9 (15:50):
I was like, what went around everyone's play and she
would take the discarded that with the white part in
the skin, and she just leveled way on everybody's bits
of discarded watermelon.

Speaker 3 (16:04):
Oh my what no this flavor and it's so like
gristling hard not to mention.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
Everyone else is just sucked on it.

Speaker 9 (16:19):
I was like, quite sure because she's put it away
but partial.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
I was like, oh my god, Okay, then definitely takes
the cakes. We've got some coffee beans coming your way.

Speaker 5 (16:33):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and PJ.

Speaker 11 (16:36):
The podcast The Heads, Many and Pj's group therapy.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
All right, So every week on the show we have
a better group therapy. If there's anything going on in
your life that you need a little bit of help with,
get in touch with us. You can do that in
a number of ways. Either hit us up on our
social the Hats drive on Instagram, you can text four
for eight seven, or you can get in touch oh wait,
one hundred the hats. We'll take all all avenues of
communication this week. This is a very relatable dilemma that

(17:07):
we're dealing with.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Hitney.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
Hey, guys, listen in the office every day lately, I
have realized my husband and I do the same thing
every night. I get home from work, put the kids
to bed, and then crash out on the couch watching
a TV show slash. We'll be on our phones until
we're tired and go to beers. I'm fine doing that
time to time, but I feel like as the years
go by, we aren't actually spending much quality time together

(17:32):
and the time we do have when we aren't at work,
I want to know if anyone has any ideas on
how you can break the cycle. My hobby is quite
a physical job in construction, so he's pretty tired by
the end of the day. But any suggestions on how
I can break this creature of habit, any feedback welcome. X. Okay,

(17:52):
this is close to the bone, I must say, and
I feel like I've got a lot of friends in
this position.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
I would say to you, you are not alone. Do
not do not be sitting around thinking, oh my god,
we're the only couple that does this. Everyone else must
be out living these exciting lives. No, we are almost
to a person, this is the very very thing that
most couples are doing night after night after night.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
Well, and it's almost like a means of survival in
the modern day world, right Like most a lot of
households have to have both where it's working, you know,
looking after kids. It's exhausting and by the end of
the day you do feel like you just want to
concout and not think totally. But I get it though.
When you look back, say you're like twenty years down
the track and you're going, what do we do with all
our time? It's pretty depressing. When you literually break it down.

Speaker 2 (18:39):
Yeah, and I get it. Like my husband and I,
he's in real estate, and obviously I'm doing this, and
so we're not physical jobs. We're not out doing construction.

Speaker 1 (18:48):
Or mentally draining though a lot, right.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
And so at the end of the day, we do
both get home and we don't necessarily feel like sitting
on the couch and totally like chatting for for hours
on end with each other, and so the TV kind
of does become our unwind time.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
Yeah, and I wonder and please weigh in if maybe
you've been in this position and you have like a
really cute way of spicing it up, just breaking that
habit text in four four eight seven or called us
oh under the hats got to say.

Speaker 2 (19:20):
Yeah, it's so much easier in summer. Like in summer,
Ryan and I will very regularly after dinner say right,
let's take the dog for a walk. And it's nice evenings,
the sun's still out, it's still light, it's warm, so
it's really easy to do it in summer. Winter does
feel like definitely that time you kind of hibernate a
little word.

Speaker 1 (19:39):
Do you think it's like something as simple as introducing
you've got to sit at the dinner and like make
a thing of it. Put your phone away for an hour,
like something simple, just to encourage that connection, because it
does if you feel tapped up by technology by the
end of the weekend.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
And so it doesn't even need to be an hour.
I don't think I reckon even just sitting at the
sitting at the dinner table, which so many of don't do.
I know we're girls just putting we are guilty on
the plates and then sitting on the couch. You actually
sit at the dinner table, even if it's just for
half an hour, and just say we don't have to
have a massive, big, in depth discussion, but if we
just connect for half an hour, then we can go

(20:15):
and sit on the couch and we won't feel like
we were missing this connection with each other.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Have you been in this situation? Have you got some ideas,
give us some techniques on how this lovely person who's
got in touch can spice things up at home. Oh wait,
hundred the hats or text four for eight seven. We've
got some helpeats about just to give away to hear
your thoughts and if you want to stand onymous, you
can do We actually had a therapist to wrap the
segment up last week with It's great added some professionalism

(20:40):
to the show, Get in Touch, oh Wite, hundred Many.

Speaker 11 (20:43):
And PJ the podcast The Heads Many In PJS group therapy, we.

Speaker 1 (20:49):
Are in the middle of this week's group therapy. The
message this week lately, I have realized my husband and
I do the same thing every night, get home from work,
put the kids to bed, and then crash out on
the couch watching a TV show, or we're both on
our phones until we're tired and we go to bed.
I'm fine doing that time to time. I get it.
It's part of life. But I feel like as the
years go by, we aren't actually spending much quality time

(21:11):
together in the time we do have when we aren't
at work. Do you have any suggestions on how we
can break the habit and just mix it up a
little bit at home? Speaking some great suggestions coming through.
Actually you can text four four eight seven. What's your
favorite text medic.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
It's some really simple ones. I think like this one.
They said, every night, my husband's asleep on the couch
before I go to bed, so we have to make
sure date night has happens In any season, once a fortnight,
no phones, just somewhere together. And that's a really simple thing,
I think, because you can't expect an exciting fun night

(21:47):
at home every night, right, that's not real. But if
you can at least make sure you are doing one
thing together, even if it's once every a couple of weeks,
at least it makes you feel less guilty about the
nights that you do just sit on the couch and
watch TV.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Well, at least got a Daniel who's called us on
undt huts. They're not very killing hundred the huts, Daniel,
What are your thoughts?

Speaker 12 (22:10):
Mate? Honestly, the best thing that's helped my relationship. Put
down the phone.

Speaker 6 (22:16):
Yeah, you walk in that door, Chuck the phone down,
Get them involved, get them with those kids, make cooking
almost a family thing.

Speaker 12 (22:28):
Every thing happens so much easier, so much less stress,
and I can probably put fourteen years of a relationship
down to it.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
Brilliant, Daniel Man.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
And that's right. You can make those really simple, kind
of almost mundane tasks more of a fun couple thing
to get.

Speaker 1 (22:48):
That make it into a game. I've got the kids.
How are you.

Speaker 11 (23:04):
Hello?

Speaker 2 (23:04):
Mel?

Speaker 13 (23:11):
I was just laughing at his snortings.

Speaker 2 (23:13):
Anyway, Now what's your advice? What do you think?

Speaker 13 (23:17):
So I definitely agree with sitting down at a table
and having the meal together. Yeah, so you can focus
on each other. And I think just starting off the
conversation with your pit and peak or rose and thorn
of the day.

Speaker 1 (23:32):
I do love one of them.

Speaker 13 (23:33):
Yeah, conversation going. I mean when you're if you're watching
TV together, leave the phones somewhere else and just make
sure you're actually sitting next to each other on the
couch and maybe watching something that you both really like.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
Maybe introduce a little message train.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
Oh I like the sound here.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
That works too. My husband is always asking for a
message on the couch. Hey, thank you so much for
your so much for your thoughts. Now we're going to
holok you up the helpezz about chah awesome.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
That is, I would say the general feedback, because make
sure you have regular date, semi regular date nights. Phones
away seem to be the biggest things. Some like figuring
out other nights like a board games night or something
like that rather than a TV night. Just really simple.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
I love this one. Someone said purchase getting lost cards.
So I looked them up and they're like this deck
of cards which are like custom misdirection cards, and they
give you random directions to discover new places. And I
think it's like a little kvy business. And they're generic
enough where you can use them anywhere, so like encourages
a venture, so you can do like a little outside
date nights cute little Thank you very much for all

(24:48):
your feedback this week on group Therapy. We'll be back
next week if you've got anything you want us to
help out with. Text now four four eight seven the.

Speaker 5 (24:57):
Podcast That's to Night.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Ryan and I were on the couch watching TV. As
we talked about earlier in the show, It's okay, It's
all right, And we got to halfway through this episode
of a TV show that we started watching and Ryan went,
I could really do. It's some chocolate, And.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
It was this time of year. Man, here's the best
of us. Yeah, the colder it is, the more treats
you want.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
Well, my sister had been in here over the weekend,
and there's a little like sweet treat over the weekend.
When she was here, I bought a block of chocolate
to have at home, and so it kind of reminded
us how good a block of chocolate.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Is he wants to get the taste? You can't stop?

Speaker 2 (25:42):
And I went, I could go and get it if
you wanted, and he was like, well, if you want it,
then I could eat it. And I was like sure,
so we're both on the same page. If you want it,
then I'll have it. If you want it, I'll have it.

Speaker 1 (25:53):
Kind of thing. Don't you have a diary just down
the road exactly?

Speaker 2 (25:56):
So I said, I can just quickly duck around to
the deary and I do you have a hankering for anything?
And he said, yes, I do. One of two blocks
of whittakers. He said, either the berry biscuit or the
Hokey pokey. He said, that's what I feel like tonight.
And I was like, I'm on board with both of
those flavors. But because he had been so specific, when

(26:16):
I got to the dairy, they didn't have either of
those flavors, and you know me, people pleased it till
the day I die.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
Oh yeah, you have to get that block of chocolate now.

Speaker 2 (26:26):
So I thought, if my husband wants it, my husband
will get it. It's good of a husband. I what
is that?

Speaker 13 (26:36):
You might know?

Speaker 2 (26:37):
What home is that? What I meant was, if Ryan
wants a certain block, he's going to get them. I
really dig of myself the whole year.

Speaker 1 (26:49):
Anyway, you're on a mission to get the chocolate.

Speaker 2 (26:52):
What time I would have been made at eight thirty
maybe eight to closing time of diaries. Yes, there is
at BP just down the road from us, So I thought, okay,
this deery doesn't have it, but maybe the BP does.
Went to the BP. Only two blocks of Witta kids
in there, neither of them the beery Biscuit or the
hardy pokem.

Speaker 1 (27:12):
See the footage on the security footage, you'll such a serious.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Mission, and I like walk you know me, I walk
fast at the best of time. So I walk in
really quickly into this thing not there, So then I
have to go to them. Then I'm like, well, I'm out.
Now I've gone to two places. I'm not turning around.
So then I hone up the hell which is a
bit further to the next story. But that's like a
few minutes away, right, And honestly, these poor shopkeepers, because

(27:36):
it's like, come near closing time and here I am
boosting in there, looking really quickly and then turning around
empty handed and leaving.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
They must have thought, did you know hear me to
go to.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
For without returning any results. And then I finally went
to countdown, which is like quite far away from our house,
and they only I was looking on the chelf and
I couldn't see either of them. Moment, you are kidding me?
Finally tucks behind an extra flavor was what like maybe

(28:08):
two blocks of hokey pokey. So I finally got the
hokey pokey and turned around.

Speaker 1 (28:12):
And so he failed. You only got thirty.

Speaker 2 (28:15):
He only want when he wanted one of either, right, okay, okay, sweet?

Speaker 1 (28:20):
Because when Ryan wants something, he'll get it.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
Anyway. By this time, Ryan's going, how what are you doing?
It's been so long and it got me thinking about
how far people will go to get something. It doesn't
have to be food related. It can be anything. My
cousin flies from Wanaka to Wellington to get the haircut
because she loves the hairdresser.

Speaker 1 (28:41):
Like I used to always get sucked into vouchers. It
would be like thirty five dollars wax and it'll be like,
you know, a really good treatment. I'd be like great,
and then I'd end up traveling like an hour in
the car the picture because I thought it was a
great deal and then it didn't didn't end up having
on Oh like Andrew in the hands to join the
show takes four for even how far did you travel?

Speaker 5 (29:02):
Many the podcast?

Speaker 1 (29:07):
How far did you travel to get something?

Speaker 2 (29:10):
I went to five different stores last night just to
get the block of chocolate that my husband wanted.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
There's love, there's love, right, How many minutes did it accurulate?

Speaker 2 (29:19):
I would say, all up, it was about it was
probably about twenty minutes.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
Okay, yeah, okay, well that's still love. So we wanted
to know how far did you go to travel to
get something? Oh? Wait, one hundred the hats to join
the show? Hello Lo, how are you? Hey?

Speaker 10 (29:33):
Cula, I'm great? Thank you?

Speaker 4 (29:35):
Hell about you.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
Got too bad?

Speaker 1 (29:38):
How far did you travel?

Speaker 10 (29:40):
I would travel at least once a month to get
to from Papacola to Devenport to Monsoon Thai Cafe, and honestly,
I've done that for twenty seven years. In fact, that's
where I took my wife on a date there and
fell in love with it.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
Even more just because they do the best tie, they do.

Speaker 10 (30:04):
The best typhood and the raw eyes with the green
carrying stay since closed.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
So do you go now?

Speaker 11 (30:18):
Low?

Speaker 10 (30:19):
So, we've actually got one out at Cleveland called the
Blue Elephant. It's actually beautiful cave, but it's not as
good as the North Shore. Yeah, we'll take it.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
I'm coming to you from a time restaurant recommendations as well.
It sounds like you know what you're talking about.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Let's go to Jase, right hand of the hats. Hello,
how far did you travel to get something? Jason? Jason? Hello,
it's because I called you a neck name, Isn't it
because I wanted it? It's just because I said Jace,
I was jumping into.

Speaker 5 (30:54):
That.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
You're good? So yeah, how far did you travel?

Speaker 4 (30:57):
Well, you're not. So here's the thing removed here from
a rural part in Canada. And there was one Christmas
when my kids were young and my one daughter she
wanted this special doll. We couldn't find it anywhere, and
then I did find it at a store in a
in a town called regina E. Right, yeah, And it

(31:19):
was three hundred and fifty kilometers.

Speaker 2 (31:21):
Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (31:24):
Drove round trip seven hundred cag got that doll from
my kid. And it's actually funny enough too. We got
one of the kids got fish goldfish for Christmas and
a Boxing day. The one fish died, I had to
drive another one hundred and fifty.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
Say that's that's love.

Speaker 1 (31:46):
That's that is love, Alex, rap it up will take
you one hundred hEDS. How far did you travel to
get something?

Speaker 14 (31:53):
Well, it was to see something, actually, So I bought
tickets to see the Free Fighters and Auckland, and I
missed the concert because I got the states wrong. Yeah,
and then oh gosh, wape en. After that, then I
bought tickets to see it again, and it was a
concert that got canceled because their truck drove over into

(32:16):
a ravine, And so I bought tickets again to another one,
and then I had to move overseas and I couldn't go,
And then I tried to buy tickets again and they
sold out. So eventually I ended up flying to Hamburg
just to see the fruit Fighter's Life to Germany.

Speaker 2 (32:36):
Wow, I love that and was it worth it? They
were good?

Speaker 14 (32:40):
It was amazing, I cried.

Speaker 5 (32:46):
Mary and May the podcast.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
It's obviously that time of year when you have to
decide whether you want to block people on Instagram or
not because they're about to go off on their big
overseas holidays.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
I was thanking god, I haven't seen many people in europelately,
But it's because we haven't hit peak season as coming now,
isn't it.

Speaker 2 (33:06):
In fact, one of one of Ryan's colleagues and good
friends has just left today for a three month holiday
around Europe.

Speaker 5 (33:15):
Three months.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
Man wouldn't very nice anyway.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
So lots of people obviously looking to head off overseas,
and we'll obviously be going to the airport to do so.
And I saw an article with a baggage handler warning
passengers against doing certain things if they heading to the airport,
just to make things really smooth for them. This is
the biggest one, he says. Do not tie ribbons onto

(33:41):
your suitcases to help identify them. Why you know, that's
what a lot of people will do. They'll put a
lit tire little thing around the handle, and then they're like, oh,
that's my red bag because that's got the thing around it.
He says that. He says that this hack could result
in huge delays because if the bag can't be scammed automatically,

(34:05):
it can end up in a manual processing plant, which
could mean that your bag doesn't even make it to
your flight, because when they go to scan your bag,
like the computer systems, the scarf can sometimes get in
the way of the of the bag tag that they're
trying to scalp. Yeah, does that any sense?

Speaker 1 (34:24):
Yeah, no, it does. It totally makes sense. Well that's
good because I got my bright yellow suitcase, so I
don't usually need to add a boat to that.

Speaker 2 (34:30):
So it's like it's also very big and you back,
it's the whole thing with about twenty three kilos for
a like five day road trip that we went on.
There's another couple of things. Don't ever pack marzipan in
your luggage, you buck pack. I guess some people might.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
I suppose cake. You know, you know that's a fear call.
You might be taking a cake, taking cake ingredients to
someone yet.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
Okay, I mean I can't imagine I would even would.
But he says, if you are thinking about it, don't
do it. It has the same density as some explosives.
So your bed will be removed and you'll be called
from the plane for a bag search because they's a
good hair. Yeah, crazy a, I think that's it.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
I was like, oh, he started strong, he started someone
saw the headlines.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
Those are good tips. Right, don't.

Speaker 1 (35:29):
They were really good to summarize. Don't put a ribbon
on your suitcase.

Speaker 2 (35:34):
Don't.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
Quite niche really aren't.

Speaker 15 (35:39):
They may and PJ Mady and PJ the podcast The
Heads Miss that was really keep me what's going on
with you?

Speaker 2 (35:55):
The us living off ducks thirty fashion chops.

Speaker 1 (36:00):
Have been living off country calendar or something I've been.
I've made such a thick today I found I don't
know where it was coming from anyway, Producers, here is
in the studio. All right, So we've got a few
topics tonight that we're going to get across. What is
first on the agenda?

Speaker 2 (36:14):
Number one trivial reading the magazine when you're in a
waiting room, mess.

Speaker 3 (36:21):
He.

Speaker 1 (36:23):
Mess, getting your hair done.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
There is nothing, you know, nothing I love more than
picking up a magazine and it's like, oh my god,
Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman are on the rocks literally
a magazine from twenty thirty years ago.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Genuine question, though, I don't know how a lot of
those magazines get away with literally posting a lot of
these stories that are not real on the front of
their covers.

Speaker 2 (36:47):
But we've known this for years.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
It's pure deception.

Speaker 12 (36:52):
Is that.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
So how many people, especially in the country, believe the
front They believe those magazines shock sep from reading Oh my.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
God, some of the headlines I saw. I once did
an interview for a magazine and they said to me,
any plans for a family like you and Ryan? And
I was like, you know, no, not really, like we
talk about it, but no, no plans. And then the
lateral headline was made, mcclean's baby plans.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
Oh my god, it's so cheeky. Yeah, and someone like,
maybe we'll come along. It's a good headline. Next topic,
eating your leftover is cold.

Speaker 2 (37:33):
Mess hat But it's so dependent on what it Senators,
But I would say more often than like, I had
this noodle dish today for lunch and I was tossing
up whether or not I could just eat it cold,
and I think it still would have been good cold.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
Okay, spag bowl hot or cold.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
I'd probably heat it up. But again, I feel like
you could have it cold and it wouldn't be a problem.

Speaker 1 (37:55):
Pizza cold, yeah, carry, Why are you so shocked by that?
I've never eaten any leftovers cold. I have to every
single It just tastes so much better colder. There is
one thing that everyone would say that Pizze's bitter cold
the next day.

Speaker 2 (38:13):
Even right now is cold pizza are better than hot
than period.

Speaker 1 (38:17):
It's the superior. All right, one more topic, all right,
using AI artificial intelligence or chat GB chet GPT to
help you write something.

Speaker 5 (38:28):
Mess miss for now.

Speaker 1 (38:30):
I haven't actually used it much, but people use it
all the time. I bet my husband was coming up
with something that he needs to get written for the
for his job. I feel like it's illegal. It's not
illegal like.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
He was breaking the war or something.

Speaker 1 (38:45):
He's doing something like totally legal, but it feels wrong,
like it really does feel.

Speaker 2 (38:50):
This is I guess it is the circumstances, right, like
if a high school students asking chet gpt to write an.

Speaker 1 (38:57):
Exactly, Yeah, that's where they're finding problems already, aren't they.
What about a contract, like to write up a contract
for something.

Speaker 2 (39:04):
Well, as long as it's as long as it's correct
like effectual, if you have put in all the right details.

Speaker 1 (39:09):
Then yeah, go for god it is.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
I did use chet GPT to write my Battle of
the Hits thing recently.

Speaker 1 (39:18):
Was that the one you why? I knew it. I
knew it. I knew they weren't your words. You had
like the best description, and I was like, but I
didn't want to offend you. I like, did you write this?
