and welcome to the podcast. She's going to be a
quick one because there is a buffet hap ening tonight
and there's a buffet we need to eat and a
lot of colleagues are going to be at the same buffet,
and I don't want them to eat my food.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
This is a fancy buffet as well.
Speaker 1 (00:21):
This is like lobster buffet I've been. It's like Japanese
I think as well.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
So there's eight different cuisines to me all over. There's
a chocolate Fountain's chocolate Fountain.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
It's ridiculous and I have no offswittch So I'm going
to get out of my jeans and I'm going to
get an address just so I've got more s room.
At least we're staying in the same hotel. So look,
we're not gonna knuck around. But on the show today,
we've got your BIS facts. That was pretty fun. Oh
(00:55):
what's my age again? Nailed it?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Spoiler, but yes, spoiler, well done.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
And we reveal what happened when I went around to
Meddies for dinner last night. I you said humble a
bow and I didn't mean it's because I always say
my humble booed.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
You also keep saying tiny.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
But I said tidy. But I sometimes don't enunciate my
d It's not tiny. It's a good it's a freaking
nice ass. No, but it's beautiful. It's nice. It's not
a tiny humbler boat. I'm sorry. Anyway, you'll hear what
went down at dinner. Shit got awkward. Enjoy the podcast.
(01:37):
The podcast bit of a warning coming out of Australia
after a guy tried to do a romantic proposal and
unfortunately it didn't quite go to plan.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I do love watch proposals.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
The guy's ended up in hospital. It's more of a warner. Okay,
he's okay, but it is so basically, he was trying
to get a romantic bomb bonfire going. He used an accelerant,
as you can imagine when as it does, and now
(02:18):
he's recovering from burns to his face, arms and legs,
six months on from trying to pop the question beside
the fire pit. He ended up proposing from his hospital beings.
Can you imagine he musteel like such an idiot. And
now they're just saying, like serious warning, don't be an ediot.
Round fires, don't use accelerants, like the article didn't tell me,
(02:40):
But one can only assume.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
You'd have to if he's gone to all that trouble,
literally in the hospital.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
No, I've got two kids together. I'm pretty sure. I'm
pretty sure. I'm pretty sure they're in it for a
long time. But it got me thinking of proposals that
have and like, let's keep them light and bright.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Happen if this happened to friends of mine. They went
to Fiji, I think it was Fiji, one of the islands,
for a holiday, and he decided this was where he
was going to propose. So he'd said to the people
at the hotel, is there somewhere near the hotel that's
really romantic that I can propose to my girlfriend? They said, absolutely,
this cove. It's beautiful, really secluded. You should do it there.
(03:21):
And he said, great, I'm going to go and propose.
Could we have like some champagne in the room ready
for when we get back so we can celebrate, And
they said absolutely, we will take care of that. He
got to the cove. Turns out every man and his
dog knew about this cove, so it was completely It
was popular with people, and so he just thought, I can't.
I can't do this, like I can't do it here.
(03:43):
So they went back to the hotel and he hadn't proposed,
but of course the message hadn't got back to the hotel.
So he got back up to the hotel. Not only
was there a bottle of champagne in the room, which
he perhaps could have like argued away or you know,
explained away written in those petals on the beard, they've
taken it upon themselves to write will you marry me?
(04:05):
On the bead? So she walked to the room and
when what And he was like, oh god, and fumbled
for the ring. And then she was like, is this
how you I would like to be proposed to?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
That's a conversation that needs to be had with the
hotel staff before they die then, and right, will you
marry me?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
And rose?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
So did they end up getting engaged?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
They got engaged, It just wasn't quite the way.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
All right, let's roll with this this afternoon. I'm sure
there are many stories in a similar camp I Waite
hundred The Hats text four four eight seven when did
the proposal not.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Go to plan?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
We'll take anything. I'm sure there will be a variety.
I wait, hundred of hats. You can get a touch,
as I said on the text four for eight seven,
and we've got some helpeza about it. Just to give
away the worst proposal that didn't go to plan and
we'll take your calls.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Next on the Heads.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Podcast, we want to know when the proposal didn't go
to the plan didn't go to plan? After a pretty
horrendous story coming out of Australia, a guy was trying
to do like a romantic bonfire kind of fireside proposal.
He put an accelerant on the bonfire. The next one
he's in hospital, but it was a happy ending. He
(05:25):
did propose in hospital in hospital, we think it was.
But we wanted to know when the proposal didn't quite
go to plan for you. We've got Mike joining us.
One hundred hits good, I Mike, not too bad mate?
What happened?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
We met my wife or we're not them, but we've
been together for only sort of five or six weeks
and we're having a bit of an argument. I can't
remember what it was about. Decent argument and sort of dawned.
I thought, well, this woman cares about minute us to
marry me, and so I did, and I got a
big fat no argument.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Man. You know how to pick your moments, don't you.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Yeah, well, I thought, you know, she obviously loves me
enough to you know, the mercy, obviously the one well
you know, but.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
She said no. And then did she eventually say yes?
How did it end? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
One we all called down, she said yes, and we've
been married twelve.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Years, rather happy, ending.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
The few dicks that came in. Sitting on the couch
one evening, he was so goofy and tongue tied. I
had to ask him if he was trying to propose.
He was, We are still together, very happily.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Went pretty smoothly.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Didn't that very smoothly? He Ryan was super romantic. He
made a book and there was lots of photos and
memories and the last page said, on our fifth anniversary, right,
and I meant to marry him. It was like a
memory book which was so beautiful and sorrow into and
I see years and then afterwards, because I wasn't expecting anything,
(07:05):
I didn't expect a ring or anything. And then afterwards
he goes oh my god. I totally forgot. And when
he grabbed the ring box, he did have a ring,
and he literally chucked it to me on the couch
and I was like, oh, she is, thanks mate.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Did you think of the time when there was no
ring anything of it? You just got caught up at
the moment.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I just didn't expect to ring from him. I just
didn't think I was going to get a ring.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah, but he just completely.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Forgot the.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Podcast that goosh.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
We've had a jam patched day. You and I. We've
been a professionals as what we've both attended our first conference.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
It's never been to a conference neither.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
We've had such unprofessional professional lives totally. Do you find
it like I feel like the jobs we've done for
majority of our adulthood.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Aren't really jobs. No, And I'd like, I don't.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I've never had a LinkedIn profile.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
No, I don't really know how to rock like an
Outlook calendar or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I'm useless.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Thank god for producer series. She just put everything and
I just except it.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
I know.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
So today we've had like the Hits conference. It's like
an annual thing where all of the team from around
the country get together. You finally got to make Richard Allen,
so that was awkward.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
So I'm going to quickly just quickly address this because
a while back, when we were on the road, we
had to join a whole company zoom call and I said,
while we were in the car, I'll join it on
my phone. I thought we were on speaking on mute.
We were not on mute, and someone's face came up
on the zoom call and I said, who the hell
(08:35):
is Richard Allen?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Who the hell is Richard Allen?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
And Richard Allen works with us on the heads.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Richard Allen is a lovely presenter from the Taranaki whom
we've now had multiple chats with.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
And I finally met him in person for the fish
and I said to him, Richard, im mortified, immortal.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Such a nice gar came out from the UK.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Love Richard.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Were great mates. Now, ah, we've been, I must say,
because you and I were talking about like, what's the
catering station situation gonna be? Like it's excelled, it's amazing,
like dark, like I don't know where this budget's coming from.
Times to be very is and this is this is
always the problem with you. We overdid it on the
morning tea. You and I are like bad like we're
(09:17):
like bad smell. I've got no self control when this
free food, I can't keep my way. I can't get
myself away from the table.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Added chicken sandwich, added the sandwich, Add another chicken sandwich,
more than one. It was morning tea, and then the
little mini cookie time cookies got put out, two of those.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Because they're just sitting there. This is why I have
the role at home, out of sight, out of mind.
If you don't have that stuff there, you don't want it,
but put it in front of me, I'm gonna gobble
it up.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Did you already go hard on the breakfast buffet?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
So, so we've been put up in a hotel, and
yes there was the breakfast buffe, but so it was
actually quite nice. They had like a spoone for the
scrambled egg and it wasn't the fake scrambled eggs. We've
talked about this. You go to some establishments and they've
got the powdered eggs. These were the real ones. Anyway,
I went to get the large spoone to scoop it out,
(10:09):
but I didn't realize the large spoone was like a
container of water to clean it. Have you ever done
that before? And I didn't. I thought it was just
in like an empty turn, so I just pulled it
straight out. What I didn't realize as I scooped a
massive ladle of water into the spread. So I quickly
(10:31):
departed the breakfast bar for anyone saw that, I'm just
diluting all of the breakfast boons.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
We should not be allowed.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I'm just gonna go home.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
The podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
In the meantime. It's part of the week where I
particularly offend you. You give us a call one hundred
of hats And because the other day I was well
off the mark on our simply the base road tour
road trip and we're were traveling around the country. I
met this lovely girl and I said, you are at
school preschool and she was nine.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
She might have been at kindergarten.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I just I get confused sometimes. So anyway, we thought
we'd put my knowledge to the test on the fines.
I think that was just a really bad day. I'm
usially not normally that bad.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
You have proved in recent weeks that you can either
nail it or absolutely absolutely butcher it. I prefer it
when you.

feel now you're terrified? Maddy and PJ Maddy and PJ podcast, Well,
it finally happened.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
After a solid sex months of working together.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
You and I have been trying to have a dinner
round at my house for so long, and there have
been multiple occasions where one of us has had to
pullpen at the last minute.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I was starting to think that maybe it just wasn't meant.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
To be, that we would never meet a dinner at
my house.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Yeah, Like I just was like, maybe this is just
one of those things it's never gonna actually eventuate. But
last night it finally happened.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
And the funny thing is, yesterday we were like, no,
this is this is actually going to happen finally, And
then last night as we were on here, you developed
this tiny little cough.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
You know, it was a lot so convenient know the
aircorn was like bringing on this little cough. Anyway, it
was all good. I ended up coming to your place.
It was gorgeous. Such a tidy, humble abode, like a
tidy not humble, humble not humble that no, I didn't
(16:01):
mean to say humble. I mean tidy abode. I don't
know why humble came out. That's a beautiful house. And
your husband. I walk in the door and he already
had all of the dinner plated up, so it was
like being straight into it.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Can I can I point out he did a wonderful
job joining it from both of us. I prepped.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Oh okay, yeah, you'd prepped in the morning because it.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Was all ready to go. And then we had dinner,
which was lovely. Yeah, and it was so nice. We
loved glass of red nice. And then I thought, you
know what, this is missing a sweet tree and I
should have thought about it on the way home, but.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I didn't, which is actually where I probably should have
come in. I shouldn't have arrived in your hand.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I shouldn't have. But that's fine.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
That was a discussion we did have. I did say
should I get anything? And you did say, oh, the
sweet treat would be nice, wouldn't it. But then I
thought you were like kind of joking. So then I
arrived with nothing, and I did feel quite there, but
we all felt like chocolate, didn't we did? So anyway,
you off and you can't and then it was just
me and your husband left at the table.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
You've met I know you've met before, yes, but we met.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Like Christmas Eve and we'd had a couple of drinks then,
and then the other time we met him, it was
just sort of towards the end of the night and
we had cocktails and so we were sitting at the table.
The music had stopped for whatever reason, and then he
and I just sitting there right next week on it
and I don't know why I forgot to talk, but
I did you.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Talk for a living every day.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I know, but it's different in a real life situation.
But me in a situation where I need to make
small talk, I'm shocking.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Well, I know this because what did you say to
my husband? As soon as they walked out the door,
I just.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I just wanted to know more about So I said,
do you speak another language?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
In the first question you ask him? Do you speak
another language?
Speaker 1 (17:49):
It was like not really, maybe a bit of French,
and so then I started saying and he was like, hoh,
there's this check, get out of my hand.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I walked back and, having just lived really Dutch, around
the corner to the deery to get a block of chocolate,
and I walked back in and I just thought, the
environment on here is off. What has happened? And then
Ryan said, your friend doesn't know how to talk properly.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Then we play game board games. I'd say that sort
of like got the energy back up. And then I
beat you in yat.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Zee and then I left and I lived with a
job done. I found out that Ryan's makes a little
bit of French, and I beat Maddy in a board game.
Wham bam, Thank you, ma'am. I'm heating hard. Job done.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
I thank you very much for lovely. It was a
lovely dut And your home is not a humbler. No,
it's I mean to say, it's tidy. It's not humble.
It's gorgeous. It's very nice, very nice. We've got a
spa outside.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Maddie and PJ the podcast the head George.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Lives is joining us in this studio. Thanks so much
for coming in this afternoon.
Speaker 7 (18:48):
So good to be here. Thanks for having me what
we're trying.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
To work out like the last time that we hung out,
because I literally popped up on my Facebook the other
day of us looking very youthful the music awards like
twenty thirty, which is babies. Yeah, and I think that's
probably the last time I saw you, Georgia.
Speaker 7 (19:09):
I would maybe agree.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Were you there as a budding artist or were you
just there as like a schoolgirl fanger?
Speaker 7 (19:15):
No, I was there like as an artist.
Speaker 10 (19:17):
I was on crutches, so I don't even know if
you can see that in the photo, you might be
able to see the top of the c Yeah, I
do remember that, very, very vividly, that those awards. I
think that was the first, the first awards I'd ever
been turned.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
I was on crutches.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
What is your foray into music?
Speaker 6 (19:35):
Like?
Speaker 2 (19:35):
When did you start performing? And what did that look
like for you?
Speaker 7 (19:39):
High school musical was my moment to shine?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Like the high school musical how did you play?
Speaker 10 (19:47):
I didn't actually do it as a musical, but the
very first time that I sang in front of anybody
was re enacting the Breaking Free scene, trying Gabriela walking
through the school auditorium with my white lab coat on,
you know, just singing breaking Free and you know, the
whole thing.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
And you thought, this is what I wanted to I
want to do.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Did you play both parts or just.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
Re changing?
Speaker 8 (20:13):
I do?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
I would.
Speaker 7 (20:16):
I would love to read.
Speaker 10 (20:16):
It's so good, I think, to be honest, there was
the that was the first moment that you know, being like,
I really love music. I think it was the first
time my parents had heard me sing and thought, oh,
I could can sing in tune like.
Speaker 7 (20:28):
Go Earth, go us. I don't know.
Speaker 10 (20:31):
And then it was like an accumulation of so many
little moments over the next kind of few years with
writing and performing and figuring out like I really loved
music and I loved you know, writing and being on stage,
and it kind of just became this was my life
and this is what I wanted to do, and here
we are.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
However, many years later.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Your new album, The Rose of Jericho, which dropped on Friday,
quite a personal, heartfelt album. Do you want to talk
us through this?
Speaker 10 (20:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (20:56):
I mean Friday was a big day.
Speaker 10 (20:58):
It's a lot of emotions. I actually couldn't eat much
food last week. The nerves in my tummy were so real.
Speaker 7 (21:06):
I was like, can't.
Speaker 10 (21:08):
Normally I'm like eat every everything and it's too much food,
and I was like, I can't, I can't do it.
Speaker 7 (21:14):
Like the nerves were just everywhere.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
How did that feel? How did that feel getting it
out into the world.
Speaker 7 (21:19):
There was so many mixed emotions.
Speaker 10 (21:21):
It was like the night before it felt like Christmas
on that, you know, that sense of like I don't
think I'm going to sleep tonight because I don't know
what's going to happen tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (21:29):
People are about to listen to this album.
Speaker 10 (21:31):
That I have poured my absolute soul into and like
you say, very heart felt and vulnerable, and you know
people are about to read my diary over the last
two years, like that's terrifying. So, you know, so much
emotion and a relief of being like it's finally out.
I've been sitting on this for a long time.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
That emotion though, translates right, it's really it really means
a lot to.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
The well, oh God, are we going?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
That's up to you.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
So, Georgia's that time of the month. This morning, I
was having a real I was having a real moment
and I leaded a little breather and I may have
had a few tears, and then I went to listen
to your song. So I was like, I need to
get in the zone for George's interview. And I tell
you what your new song, Grand Delusion. She's beautiful, but
she will bring out the feels. She'll let me tell
(22:22):
you that.
Speaker 10 (22:22):
She'll get you if you're already started, you know, yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Take the knees and you're like, oh yeah, PJ was
sitting about here. You just pushed her over.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
I also really loved it.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
No, certainly, let there's be a message to anyone who
really wants to go on field. Go listen to George's
album because from the taster that I had it is beautiful.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
Fun is all I can say.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Hey, absolutely strapping. Thank you so much for being with us.
I really appreciate it. I love to see you to
many and the podcasts. Some things you you know, you
just assume have always been part of life. You just
have known them to be this way forever. I only
(23:08):
just found out that tennis balls were always the yellow
color that they are, but the bright yellow, the right yellow?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
What color they used to be?
Speaker 2 (23:16):
They used to be black and white.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Yeah, I would always imagine that they have been that
color for visibility? Is that the reason?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yes, except for a different reason than you might think.
Not visibility within the game, visibility on television.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Oh that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
So this is this was the fun fact that I
learned this week that I wanted to share with you.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
How did you consume said fact? I love it with
people get around in fact?
Speaker 4 (23:45):
How did you do it?
Speaker 5 (23:47):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
No? What was TikTok?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
It's how I get everything these days. It's terrible.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
It's okay. One of us on the team needs to
be back on TikTok, and that's you.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
The wild thing is we have in part should daven
should David Edinburgh to thank for the yellow tennis balls?
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Why so?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
He was the controller for BBC back in nineteen sixty eight,
that is when they ushered in color television in the
UK for the very first time. And one of the
very first events in color television on the BBC was
a game of tennis at Wimbledon. Yeah, but because they
were using black and white balls at the time. When
(24:26):
David Edinburgh, Sir Edinburgh, was watching Wimbledon on TV, he thought,
I can't see the ball as well.
Speaker 8 (24:34):
It would be so confusing, very confused, And so he thought,
we need we've got color television, we need to break
it up. These balls to be bright so that we
can actually see the play.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
This is so render.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
So he suggested that they make them a really bright
fluo color, and they went with yellow and they've stuck
with it and they have stuck with it ever since.
The wild thing, though, is that so many countries overseas
adopted the yellow tennis balls, almost to me the UK
because that's such sticklers for rules and protocol and history. Yes,
(25:07):
they didn't actually bring in the yellow balls until nineteen
eighty six, really, but almost twenty years after color television was.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Even though it was old David's idea exactly, I were
the last to adopt it.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Isn't that a fun That's a good fact.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
I love a good fact. In fact, because you told
me you had a good fact, I don't know what
it was. I went and did some research myself. Did
you know I've got a couple here? Football teams wearing
red cats play better. The color of your clothes can
affect how you're perceived by others and change how you feel.
In a review of football matches in the last fifty
five years, for example, showed that teams wearing a red
cat consistently played better in home matches than teams than
(25:43):
any other color.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Wow, Crusaders.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
No, not this year, for example, but they were for
a very long time, so that would be apped for that. Also.
Did you know that catchup was once sold as a medicine.
The conniment was prescribed and sold to people suffering with
indigestion back in eighteen thirty four. Wow, you're welcome.
Speaker 2 (26:04):

The spot there? So they had electric cars before they
had petrol cars.
Speaker 9 (28:27):
Yeah, so in eighteen hundred's the early cars were driven
by little electric motors and then and then they developed
the petrol cars after it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (28:35):

Speaker 4 (30:23):
Maddy and Mady and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Now, Maddy, you are competitive, there's no denying it. Wildly,
wildly competitive and on the shot. At the moment we
are doing a little guest the Star segment with our
TI tom I giveaway and well we're actually going to
be calling the winter tomorrow and another chance to get
in the drawer. But you did say I would absolutely
(30:49):
kill that game. I genuinely think I would guess every
star that I heard I just said, because.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
What they've got to do is listen to a clip
of a famous person's voice and figure out who the
famous person is. And I feel like I would nail
this game.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Okay, Well, I'm so glad you said that, because I
thought we could do our own little game show inspired
by that. This is Evening. I have tracked out a
few well known voices, okay that you as a a
corner but also journalist. You know, I'd say you should
know a lot. You should know these voices. Right, So,
(31:25):
I've got a few voices that you need to listen for,
and you need to tell me who they are Voice
number one.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
As we do, the successes and failures of our own
past can serve as an example for emerging your condoms.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
It's got it already. Who's that?
Speaker 2 (31:39):
That's Baraco?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Thank you? All right? Started easy? Okay, And to voice
number two, who do you think this is?
Speaker 4 (31:45):
It's not simply the absence of war, but the work
of Shastis.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Mister. I'd know every voice. This is arguably one of
the most I think well known people in the world.
I think I know who.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
I think it's Albert Einstein.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Wrong, it's the Pope. All right, your third voice for
this Evening's game.
Speaker 6 (32:12):
I always hoped that it would be this successful, and
obviously bringing someone like Leo Helps, so obviously that was
always the plan.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
You guys have these are honestly all incredibly well known people.
Can I hear it again?
Speaker 6 (32:31):
I always hoped that it would be this successful, and
obviously bringing someone like Leo Helps, so obviously that was
always the plan.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
I thought it was coming. It's query.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
I thought it was. At the very first glance. I
thought it sounded like it sounded like David Biker, right,
but it's not David Beckham.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
So you got two out of three. I'll give you
that for now. We've got one more. Okay, to wrap
up Meddy's game that he said he would, here we go.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Like coffee mixed with bacon in the morning. Is that
all idea? Yep, there we go one more time.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
Coffee mixed with bacon in the morning.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Like coffee mixed with bacon's. I was really having good
stuff that I told you. I mean, mate, you still
got the Pope wrong.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Do you know what the Pope said?
Speaker 1 (33:25):
You said, I'd get every single voice.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Like I'm thinking movie stars and pop stars.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Some would say the.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Medi and PJ the podcast that have you had.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
To do many job interviews in your life.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Well, I've said this before. I brooked to the body
shop and I've done catering. The only jobs I've done
job interviews would have been probably my first job at
ZiT in yeah, many many years ago, and then after that.
I don't know, I don't.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
It's kind of you sometimes because we work in this industry,
in this.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
This industry is a bit funny.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
It's funny and it kind of has snowballed, right, Yeah,
one job just kind of leads to another kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
I don't know how I'd go on a job interview now.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Well, I had to do quite a few when I
was in the UK because I moved to I left
tvn Z for a while and moved to the youth.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Did you change your excent over there?
Speaker 2 (34:12):
You go?
Speaker 1 (34:12):
This is Matty McClain for the BBC.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
No, I was not on are but I went for
a number of jobs and like communications and PR and stuff.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Oh yeah, And so I had to.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Really go into these formal interviews and it was the
first time I'd done it in a really long time.
There's one key thing that happens in interviews that often
people are not prepared for. You're prepared to talk about
like what you do well and the tasks that you perform,
and like situations you found yourselves in and all those
kinds of things. But then there's one thing that often
happens at the very end.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
I know what you're going to say, what are you
not good at?
Speaker 2 (34:45):
No, it's do you have any questions for us?
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Question time?
Speaker 2 (34:50):
And when I first started interviewing, I kind of thought
that was just just a nice throwaway, but actually some Actually,
what I've learned over time is that recruiters and bosses
that love it. They use it as a real tool
to figure out whether you're worth hiring. So the questions
that you ask actually is super vital.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
So there's just your chance to suck up to the business,
isn't it. You go so talk me through that process
of when your business diversified back in two thousand and eight, you.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Could do that. But I've seen an article from a
recruiter who has said these are the best questions to ask.
Oh go on, So if you are about to find
yourself in a job interview, here are some of the
questions you can ask. Number one, what is the company
culture like? And what do you do to actively keep
it a positive environment.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Oh that God, I love that. And then they're kind
of like, hold to the extra one.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
The next one, what did the person in this role
before me do that was so appreciated but not required
based on the job description?
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Never think to us write these down. If you're going
into a job interview anytime soon, Yeah, i'd be like,
do you guys have KIK?
Speaker 2 (36:05):
What are your Friday night drink policy?
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Is the music in the bathroom because I don't like
playing in silence?
Speaker 2 (36:11):
And number another one, what are you going to miss
most about this person? Is then the one that's just
to see how much they value their staff? Yeah? Absolutely?
And then finally, how can I best suit the needs
of my direct counterparts?
Speaker 6 (36:26):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Okay, are these questions to benefit the person asking them
or is it more for the boss?
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Both?
Speaker 5 (36:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Right, Because I say this feels more productive.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
I think it shows the boss that you really care
about the company. I want to know more about how
you can help add value. But also I guess it
gives you some information that you can use when you
start your job.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Okay, I'm going to put you on the spot like
you're an interview right now, Maddie. Tell me you're number
one floor.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
I care too much.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
He's ready to go. Look at you or grown up?
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Thank you, Mary and PJ.

Meddies for dinner last night. I you said humble a
bow and I didn't mean it's because I always say
my humble booed.
Speaker 2 (01:12):

Speaker 1 (01:13):
But I said tidy. But I sometimes don't enunciate my
d It's not tiny. It's a good it's a freaking
nice ass. No, but it's beautiful. It's nice. It's not
a tiny humbler boat. I'm sorry. Anyway, you'll hear what
went down at dinner. Shit got awkward. Enjoy the podcast.
(01:37):
The podcast bit of a warning coming out of Australia
after a guy tried to do a romantic proposal and
unfortunately it didn't quite go to plan.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I do love watch proposals.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
The guy's ended up in hospital. It's more of a warner. Okay,
he's okay, but it is so basically, he was trying
to get a romantic bomb bonfire going. He used an accelerant,
as you can imagine when as it does, and now
(02:18):
he's recovering from burns to his face, arms and legs,
six months on from trying to pop the question beside
the fire pit. He ended up proposing from his hospital beings.
Can you imagine he musteel like such an idiot. And
now they're just saying, like serious warning, don't be an ediot.
Round fires, don't use accelerants, like the article didn't tell me,
(02:40):
But one can only assume.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
You'd have to if he's gone to all that trouble,
literally in the hospital.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
No, I've got two kids together. I'm pretty sure. I'm
pretty sure. I'm pretty sure they're in it for a
long time. But it got me thinking of proposals that
have and like, let's keep them light and bright.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Happen if this happened to friends of mine. They went
to Fiji, I think it was Fiji, one of the islands,
for a holiday, and he decided this was where he
was going to propose. So he'd said to the people
at the hotel, is there somewhere near the hotel that's
really romantic that I can propose to my girlfriend? They said, absolutely,
this cove. It's beautiful, really secluded. You should do it there.
(03:21):
And he said, great, I'm going to go and propose.
Could we have like some champagne in the room ready
for when we get back so we can celebrate, And
they said absolutely, we will take care of that. He
got to the cove. Turns out every man and his
dog knew about this cove, so it was completely It
was popular with people, and so he just thought, I can't.
I can't do this, like I can't do it here.
(03:43):
So they went back to the hotel and he hadn't proposed,
but of course the message hadn't got back to the hotel.
So he got back up to the hotel. Not only
was there a bottle of champagne in the room, which
he perhaps could have like argued away or you know,
explained away written in those petals on the beard, they've
taken it upon themselves to write will you marry me?
(04:05):
On the bead? So she walked to the room and
when what And he was like, oh god, and fumbled
for the ring. And then she was like, is this
how you I would like to be proposed to?
Speaker 1 (04:19):
That's a conversation that needs to be had with the
hotel staff before they die then, and right, will you
marry me?
Speaker 2 (04:27):
And rose?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
So did they end up getting engaged?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
They got engaged, It just wasn't quite the way.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
All right, let's roll with this this afternoon. I'm sure
there are many stories in a similar camp I Waite
hundred The Hats text four four eight seven when did
the proposal not.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Go to plan?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
We'll take anything. I'm sure there will be a variety.
I wait, hundred of hats. You can get a touch,
as I said on the text four for eight seven,
and we've got some helpeza about it. Just to give
away the worst proposal that didn't go to plan and
we'll take your calls.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Next on the Heads.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Podcast, we want to know when the proposal didn't go
to the plan didn't go to plan? After a pretty
horrendous story coming out of Australia, a guy was trying
to do like a romantic bonfire kind of fireside proposal.
He put an accelerant on the bonfire. The next one
he's in hospital, but it was a happy ending. He
(05:25):
did propose in hospital in hospital, we think it was.
But we wanted to know when the proposal didn't quite
go to plan for you. We've got Mike joining us.
One hundred hits good, I Mike, not too bad mate?
What happened?
Speaker 3 (05:43):
We met my wife or we're not them, but we've
been together for only sort of five or six weeks
and we're having a bit of an argument. I can't
remember what it was about. Decent argument and sort of dawned.
I thought, well, this woman cares about minute us to
marry me, and so I did, and I got a
big fat no argument.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Man. You know how to pick your moments, don't you.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Yeah, well, I thought, you know, she obviously loves me
enough to you know, the mercy, obviously the one well
you know, but.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
She said no. And then did she eventually say yes?
How did it end? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (06:20):
One we all called down, she said yes, and we've
been married twelve.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Years, rather happy, ending.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
The few dicks that came in. Sitting on the couch
one evening, he was so goofy and tongue tied. I
had to ask him if he was trying to propose.
He was, We are still together, very happily.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Went pretty smoothly.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Didn't that very smoothly? He Ryan was super romantic. He
made a book and there was lots of photos and
memories and the last page said, on our fifth anniversary, right,
and I meant to marry him. It was like a
memory book which was so beautiful and sorrow into and
I see years and then afterwards, because I wasn't expecting anything,
(07:05):
I didn't expect a ring or anything. And then afterwards
he goes oh my god. I totally forgot. And when
he grabbed the ring box, he did have a ring,
and he literally chucked it to me on the couch
and I was like, oh, she is, thanks mate.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Did you think of the time when there was no
ring anything of it? You just got caught up at
the moment.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
I just didn't expect to ring from him. I just
didn't think I was going to get a ring.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah, but he just completely.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Forgot the.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Podcast that goosh.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
We've had a jam patched day. You and I. We've
been a professionals as what we've both attended our first conference.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
It's never been to a conference neither.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
We've had such unprofessional professional lives totally. Do you find
it like I feel like the jobs we've done for
majority of our adulthood.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Aren't really jobs. No, And I'd like, I don't.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
I've never had a LinkedIn profile.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
No, I don't really know how to rock like an
Outlook calendar or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
I'm useless.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Thank god for producer series. She just put everything and
I just except it.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
I know.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
So today we've had like the Hits conference. It's like
an annual thing where all of the team from around
the country get together. You finally got to make Richard Allen,
so that was awkward.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
So I'm going to quickly just quickly address this because
a while back, when we were on the road, we
had to join a whole company zoom call and I said,
while we were in the car, I'll join it on
my phone. I thought we were on speaking on mute.
We were not on mute, and someone's face came up
on the zoom call and I said, who the hell
(08:35):
is Richard Allen?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Who the hell is Richard Allen?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
And Richard Allen works with us on the heads.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Richard Allen is a lovely presenter from the Taranaki whom
we've now had multiple chats with.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
And I finally met him in person for the fish
and I said to him, Richard, im mortified, immortal.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Such a nice gar came out from the UK.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Love Richard.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Were great mates. Now, ah, we've been, I must say,
because you and I were talking about like, what's the
catering station situation gonna be? Like it's excelled, it's amazing,
like dark, like I don't know where this budget's coming from.
Times to be very is and this is this is
always the problem with you. We overdid it on the
morning tea. You and I are like bad like we're
(09:17):
like bad smell. I've got no self control when this
free food, I can't keep my way. I can't get
myself away from the table.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Added chicken sandwich, added the sandwich, Add another chicken sandwich,
more than one. It was morning tea, and then the
little mini cookie time cookies got put out, two of those.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Because they're just sitting there. This is why I have
the role at home, out of sight, out of mind.
If you don't have that stuff there, you don't want it,
but put it in front of me, I'm gonna gobble
it up.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Did you already go hard on the breakfast buffet?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
So, so we've been put up in a hotel, and
yes there was the breakfast buffe, but so it was
actually quite nice. They had like a spoone for the
scrambled egg and it wasn't the fake scrambled eggs. We've
talked about this. You go to some establishments and they've
got the powdered eggs. These were the real ones. Anyway,
I went to get the large spoone to scoop it out,
(10:09):
but I didn't realize the large spoone was like a
container of water to clean it. Have you ever done
that before? And I didn't. I thought it was just
in like an empty turn, so I just pulled it
straight out. What I didn't realize as I scooped a
massive ladle of water into the spread. So I quickly
(10:31):
departed the breakfast bar for anyone saw that, I'm just
diluting all of the breakfast boons.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
We should not be allowed.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I'm just gonna go home.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
The podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
In the meantime. It's part of the week where I
particularly offend you. You give us a call one hundred
of hats And because the other day I was well
off the mark on our simply the base road tour
road trip and we're were traveling around the country. I
met this lovely girl and I said, you are at
school preschool and she was nine.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
She might have been at kindergarten.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I just I get confused sometimes. So anyway, we thought
we'd put my knowledge to the test on the fines.
I think that was just a really bad day. I'm
usially not normally that bad.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
You have proved in recent weeks that you can either
nail it or absolutely absolutely butcher it. I prefer it
when you.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
I'm gonna butcher it now. It's somewhere. How does it
feel now you're terrified? Maddy and PJ Maddy and PJ podcast, Well,
it finally happened.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
After a solid sex months of working together.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
You and I have been trying to have a dinner
round at my house for so long, and there have
been multiple occasions where one of us has had to
pullpen at the last minute.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I was starting to think that maybe it just wasn't meant.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
To be, that we would never meet a dinner at
my house.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
Yeah, Like I just was like, maybe this is just
one of those things it's never gonna actually eventuate. But
last night it finally happened.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
And the funny thing is, yesterday we were like, no,
this is this is actually going to happen finally, And
then last night as we were on here, you developed
this tiny little cough.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
You know, it was a lot so convenient know the
aircorn was like bringing on this little cough. Anyway, it
was all good. I ended up coming to your place.
It was gorgeous. Such a tidy, humble abode, like a
tidy not humble, humble not humble that no, I didn't
(16:01):
mean to say humble. I mean tidy abode. I don't
know why humble came out. That's a beautiful house. And
your husband. I walk in the door and he already
had all of the dinner plated up, so it was
like being straight into it.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
Can I can I point out he did a wonderful
job joining it from both of us. I prepped.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Oh okay, yeah, you'd prepped in the morning because it.
Speaker 2 (16:24):
Was all ready to go. And then we had dinner,
which was lovely. Yeah, and it was so nice. We
loved glass of red nice. And then I thought, you
know what, this is missing a sweet tree and I
should have thought about it on the way home, but.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I didn't, which is actually where I probably should have
come in. I shouldn't have arrived in your hand.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
I shouldn't have. But that's fine.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
That was a discussion we did have. I did say
should I get anything? And you did say, oh, the
sweet treat would be nice, wouldn't it. But then I
thought you were like kind of joking. So then I
arrived with nothing, and I did feel quite there, but
we all felt like chocolate, didn't we did? So anyway,
you off and you can't and then it was just
me and your husband left at the table.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
You've met I know you've met before, yes, but we met.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Like Christmas Eve and we'd had a couple of drinks then,
and then the other time we met him, it was
just sort of towards the end of the night and
we had cocktails and so we were sitting at the table.
The music had stopped for whatever reason, and then he
and I just sitting there right next week on it
and I don't know why I forgot to talk, but
I did you.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
Talk for a living every day.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I know, but it's different in a real life situation.
But me in a situation where I need to make
small talk, I'm shocking.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Well, I know this because what did you say to
my husband? As soon as they walked out the door,
I just.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I just wanted to know more about So I said,
do you speak another language?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
In the first question you ask him? Do you speak
another language?
Speaker 1 (17:49):
It was like not really, maybe a bit of French,
and so then I started saying and he was like, hoh,
there's this check, get out of my hand.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I walked back and, having just lived really Dutch, around
the corner to the deery to get a block of chocolate,
and I walked back in and I just thought, the
environment on here is off. What has happened? And then
Ryan said, your friend doesn't know how to talk properly.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Then we play game board games. I'd say that sort
of like got the energy back up. And then I
beat you in yat.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Zee and then I left and I lived with a
job done. I found out that Ryan's makes a little
bit of French, and I beat Maddy in a board game.
Wham bam, Thank you, ma'am. I'm heating hard. Job done.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
I thank you very much for lovely. It was a
lovely dut And your home is not a humbler. No,
it's I mean to say, it's tidy. It's not humble.
It's gorgeous. It's very nice, very nice. We've got a
spa outside.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Maddie and PJ the podcast the head George.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Lives is joining us in this studio. Thanks so much
for coming in this afternoon.
Speaker 7 (18:48):
So good to be here. Thanks for having me what
we're trying.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
To work out like the last time that we hung out,
because I literally popped up on my Facebook the other
day of us looking very youthful the music awards like
twenty thirty, which is babies. Yeah, and I think that's
probably the last time I saw you, Georgia.
Speaker 7 (19:09):
I would maybe agree.
Speaker 2 (19:10):
Were you there as a budding artist or were you
just there as like a schoolgirl fanger?
Speaker 7 (19:15):
No, I was there like as an artist.
Speaker 10 (19:17):
I was on crutches, so I don't even know if
you can see that in the photo, you might be
able to see the top of the c Yeah, I
do remember that, very, very vividly, that those awards. I
think that was the first, the first awards I'd ever
been turned.
Speaker 7 (19:30):
I was on crutches.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
What is your foray into music?
Speaker 6 (19:35):
Like?
Speaker 2 (19:35):
When did you start performing? And what did that look
like for you?
Speaker 7 (19:39):
High school musical was my moment to shine?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Like the high school musical how did you play?
Speaker 10 (19:47):
I didn't actually do it as a musical, but the
very first time that I sang in front of anybody
was re enacting the Breaking Free scene, trying Gabriela walking
through the school auditorium with my white lab coat on,
you know, just singing breaking Free and you know, the
whole thing.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
And you thought, this is what I wanted to I
want to do.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Did you play both parts or just.
Speaker 7 (20:13):
Re changing?
Speaker 8 (20:13):
I do?
Speaker 1 (20:15):
I would.
Speaker 7 (20:16):
I would love to read.
Speaker 10 (20:16):
It's so good, I think, to be honest, there was
the that was the first moment that you know, being like,
I really love music. I think it was the first
time my parents had heard me sing and thought, oh,
I could can sing in tune like.
Speaker 7 (20:28):
Go Earth, go us. I don't know.
Speaker 10 (20:31):
And then it was like an accumulation of so many
little moments over the next kind of few years with
writing and performing and figuring out like I really loved
music and I loved you know, writing and being on stage,
and it kind of just became this was my life
and this is what I wanted to do, and here
we are.
Speaker 7 (20:47):
However, many years later.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Your new album, The Rose of Jericho, which dropped on Friday,
quite a personal, heartfelt album. Do you want to talk
us through this?
Speaker 10 (20:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (20:56):
I mean Friday was a big day.
Speaker 10 (20:58):
It's a lot of emotions. I actually couldn't eat much
food last week. The nerves in my tummy were so real.
Speaker 7 (21:06):
I was like, can't.
Speaker 10 (21:08):
Normally I'm like eat every everything and it's too much food,
and I was like, I can't, I can't do it.
Speaker 7 (21:14):
Like the nerves were just everywhere.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
How did that feel? How did that feel getting it
out into the world.
Speaker 7 (21:19):
There was so many mixed emotions.
Speaker 10 (21:21):
It was like the night before it felt like Christmas
on that, you know, that sense of like I don't
think I'm going to sleep tonight because I don't know
what's going to happen tomorrow.
Speaker 7 (21:29):
People are about to listen to this album.
Speaker 10 (21:31):
That I have poured my absolute soul into and like
you say, very heart felt and vulnerable, and you know
people are about to read my diary over the last
two years, like that's terrifying. So, you know, so much
emotion and a relief of being like it's finally out.
I've been sitting on this for a long time.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
That emotion though, translates right, it's really it really means
a lot to.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
The well, oh God, are we going?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
That's up to you.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
So, Georgia's that time of the month. This morning, I
was having a real I was having a real moment
and I leaded a little breather and I may have
had a few tears, and then I went to listen
to your song. So I was like, I need to
get in the zone for George's interview. And I tell
you what your new song, Grand Delusion. She's beautiful, but
she will bring out the feels. She'll let me tell
(22:22):
you that.
Speaker 10 (22:22):
She'll get you if you're already started, you know, yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
Take the knees and you're like, oh yeah, PJ was
sitting about here. You just pushed her over.
Speaker 7 (22:32):
I also really loved it.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
No, certainly, let there's be a message to anyone who
really wants to go on field. Go listen to George's
album because from the taster that I had it is beautiful.
Speaker 7 (22:44):
Fun is all I can say.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Hey, absolutely strapping. Thank you so much for being with us.
I really appreciate it. I love to see you to
many and the podcasts. Some things you you know, you
just assume have always been part of life. You just
have known them to be this way forever. I only
(23:08):
just found out that tennis balls were always the yellow
color that they are, but the bright yellow, the right yellow?
Speaker 1 (23:15):
What color they used to be?
Speaker 2 (23:16):
They used to be black and white.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Yeah, I would always imagine that they have been that
color for visibility? Is that the reason?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Yes, except for a different reason than you might think.
Not visibility within the game, visibility on television.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Oh that's interesting.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
So this is this was the fun fact that I
learned this week that I wanted to share with you.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
How did you consume said fact? I love it with
people get around in fact?
Speaker 4 (23:45):
How did you do it?
Speaker 5 (23:47):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
No? What was TikTok?
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (23:49):
It's how I get everything these days. It's terrible.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
It's okay. One of us on the team needs to
be back on TikTok, and that's you.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
The wild thing is we have in part should daven
should David Edinburgh to thank for the yellow tennis balls?
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Why so?
Speaker 2 (24:03):
He was the controller for BBC back in nineteen sixty eight,
that is when they ushered in color television in the
UK for the very first time. And one of the
very first events in color television on the BBC was
a game of tennis at Wimbledon. Yeah, but because they
were using black and white balls at the time. When
(24:26):
David Edinburgh, Sir Edinburgh, was watching Wimbledon on TV, he thought,
I can't see the ball as well.
Speaker 8 (24:34):
It would be so confusing, very confused, And so he thought,
we need we've got color television, we need to break
it up. These balls to be bright so that we
can actually see the play.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
This is so render.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
So he suggested that they make them a really bright
fluo color, and they went with yellow and they've stuck
with it and they have stuck with it ever since.
The wild thing, though, is that so many countries overseas
adopted the yellow tennis balls, almost to me the UK
because that's such sticklers for rules and protocol and history. Yes,
(25:07):
they didn't actually bring in the yellow balls until nineteen
eighty six, really, but almost twenty years after color television was.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Even though it was old David's idea exactly, I were
the last to adopt it.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
Isn't that a fun That's a good fact.
Speaker 1 (25:21):
I love a good fact. In fact, because you told
me you had a good fact, I don't know what
it was. I went and did some research myself. Did
you know I've got a couple here? Football teams wearing
red cats play better. The color of your clothes can
affect how you're perceived by others and change how you feel.
In a review of football matches in the last fifty
five years, for example, showed that teams wearing a red
cat consistently played better in home matches than teams than
(25:43):
any other color.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Wow, Crusaders.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
No, not this year, for example, but they were for
a very long time, so that would be apped for that. Also.
Did you know that catchup was once sold as a medicine.
The conniment was prescribed and sold to people suffering with
indigestion back in eighteen thirty four. Wow, you're welcome.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
That is a fun fact.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
There's something about telling effect I love quite satisfying. Should
we open up the phones? Oh wait, hundred of the
hats the best facts We're going to give away some
helpeza about just.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Everyone has them, right, Everyone has that little fun fact
that they can roll out at a dinner party. Did
you not?
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Did you know dot dot dot? Well you've got to
wow us. Oh Waite hundred The Hats ticks four for
eight seven.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and PJ the podcast The Heads.
Speaker 1 (26:32):
You're just talking your best fact. You just come to
the table with an interesting tennisbal fact.

Speaker 4 (28:20):
Don't know.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
The spot there? So they had electric cars before they
had petrol cars.
Speaker 9 (28:27):
Yeah, so in eighteen hundred's the early cars were driven
by little electric motors and then and then they developed
the petrol cars after it's crazy.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
And now we've done a total you tune and now
electric cars are making the comeback. They sure are great
facing or no, I'm buying. There's quite a lot of
texts coming through. I don't know about this. One fun fact.

Speaker 4 (30:23):
Maddy and Mady and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
Now, Maddy, you are competitive, there's no denying it. Wildly,
wildly competitive and on the shot. At the moment we
are doing a little guest the Star segment with our
TI tom I giveaway and well we're actually going to
be calling the winter tomorrow and another chance to get
in the drawer. But you did say I would absolutely
(30:49):
kill that game. I genuinely think I would guess every
star that I heard I just said, because.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
What they've got to do is listen to a clip
of a famous person's voice and figure out who the
famous person is. And I feel like I would nail
this game.
Speaker 1 (31:04):
Okay, Well, I'm so glad you said that, because I
thought we could do our own little game show inspired
by that. This is Evening. I have tracked out a
few well known voices, okay that you as a a
corner but also journalist. You know, I'd say you should
know a lot. You should know these voices. Right, So,
(31:25):
I've got a few voices that you need to listen for,
and you need to tell me who they are Voice
number one.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
As we do, the successes and failures of our own
past can serve as an example for emerging your condoms.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
It's got it already. Who's that?
Speaker 2 (31:39):
That's Baraco?
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Thank you? All right? Started easy? Okay, And to voice
number two, who do you think this is?
Speaker 4 (31:45):
It's not simply the absence of war, but the work
of Shastis.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
Mister. I'd know every voice. This is arguably one of
the most I think well known people in the world.
I think I know who.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
I think it's Albert Einstein.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
Wrong, it's the Pope. All right, your third voice for
this Evening's game.
Speaker 6 (32:12):
I always hoped that it would be this successful, and
obviously bringing someone like Leo Helps, so obviously that was
always the plan.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
You guys have these are honestly all incredibly well known people.
Can I hear it again?
Speaker 6 (32:31):
I always hoped that it would be this successful, and
obviously bringing someone like Leo Helps, so obviously that was
always the plan.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
I thought it was coming. It's query.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
I thought it was. At the very first glance. I
thought it sounded like it sounded like David Biker, right,
but it's not David Beckham.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
So you got two out of three. I'll give you
that for now. We've got one more. Okay, to wrap
up Meddy's game that he said he would, here we go.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Like coffee mixed with bacon in the morning. Is that
all idea? Yep, there we go one more time.
Speaker 4 (33:07):
Coffee mixed with bacon in the morning.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Like coffee mixed with bacon's. I was really having good
stuff that I told you. I mean, mate, you still
got the Pope wrong.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Do you know what the Pope said?
Speaker 1 (33:25):
You said, I'd get every single voice.
Speaker 2 (33:28):
Like I'm thinking movie stars and pop stars.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Some would say the.
Speaker 4 (33:33):
Medi and PJ the podcast that have you had.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
To do many job interviews in your life.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
Well, I've said this before. I brooked to the body
shop and I've done catering. The only jobs I've done
job interviews would have been probably my first job at
ZiT in yeah, many many years ago, and then after that.
I don't know, I don't.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
It's kind of you sometimes because we work in this industry,
in this.
Speaker 1 (33:57):
This industry is a bit funny.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
It's funny and it kind of has snowballed, right, Yeah,
one job just kind of leads to another kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
I don't know how I'd go on a job interview now.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Well, I had to do quite a few when I
was in the UK because I moved to I left
tvn Z for a while and moved to the youth.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Did you change your excent over there?
Speaker 2 (34:12):
You go?
Speaker 1 (34:12):
This is Matty McClain for the BBC.
Speaker 2 (34:15):
No, I was not on are but I went for
a number of jobs and like communications and PR and stuff.
Speaker 1 (34:20):
Oh yeah, And so I had to.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
Really go into these formal interviews and it was the
first time I'd done it in a really long time.
There's one key thing that happens in interviews that often
people are not prepared for. You're prepared to talk about
like what you do well and the tasks that you perform,
and like situations you found yourselves in and all those
kinds of things. But then there's one thing that often
happens at the very end.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
I know what you're going to say, what are you
not good at?
Speaker 2 (34:45):
No, it's do you have any questions for us?
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Question time?
Speaker 2 (34:50):
And when I first started interviewing, I kind of thought
that was just just a nice throwaway, but actually some Actually,
what I've learned over time is that recruiters and bosses
that love it. They use it as a real tool
to figure out whether you're worth hiring. So the questions
that you ask actually is super vital.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
So there's just your chance to suck up to the business,
isn't it. You go so talk me through that process
of when your business diversified back in two thousand and eight, you.
Speaker 2 (35:19):
Could do that. But I've seen an article from a
recruiter who has said these are the best questions to ask.
Oh go on, So if you are about to find
yourself in a job interview, here are some of the
questions you can ask. Number one, what is the company
culture like? And what do you do to actively keep
it a positive environment.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
Oh that God, I love that. And then they're kind
of like, hold to the extra one.
Speaker 2 (35:46):
The next one, what did the person in this role
before me do that was so appreciated but not required
based on the job description?
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Never think to us write these down. If you're going
into a job interview anytime soon, Yeah, i'd be like,
do you guys have KIK?
Speaker 2 (36:05):
What are your Friday night drink policy?
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Is the music in the bathroom because I don't like
playing in silence?
Speaker 2 (36:11):
And number another one, what are you going to miss
most about this person? Is then the one that's just
to see how much they value their staff? Yeah? Absolutely?
And then finally, how can I best suit the needs
of my direct counterparts?
Speaker 6 (36:26):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Okay, are these questions to benefit the person asking them
or is it more for the boss?
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Both?
Speaker 5 (36:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Right, Because I say this feels more productive.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
I think it shows the boss that you really care
about the company. I want to know more about how
you can help add value. But also I guess it
gives you some information that you can use when you
start your job.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Okay, I'm going to put you on the spot like
you're an interview right now, Maddie. Tell me you're number
one floor.
Speaker 2 (36:52):
I care too much.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
He's ready to go. Look at you or grown up?
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Thank you, Mary and PJ.
