Speaker 1 (04:37):
All right, everybody enjoying the podcast. We've got group therapy,
which I think I need after playing this game.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Also we have are we talking about the expensive things
that you've done for your pets and very boy pets out.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
There, boogie pets, and the really cool stories behind how
you actually meet your were's. Some wild ones come through it.
We don't expect it to get the scandalous. So all
of that and more coming up podcast. Enjoy the podcast.
Sometimes in life, METI, you just have to admit to fate.
(05:14):
You have to work out your strength and you have
to work out your weaknesses. I just don't think I
can be a farmer's wife. I can't do it. I've
been trying so hard and I just keep failing.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
I've seen you unlock those gates. It's fine.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I'm talking more on the domestic aredon. So I obviously
married to a farmer. I did, even though I did
grow up in like country mythvin, I've never been like
real rural Okay, I'm a bit of a fraud. I
play off like I'm this tough girl from mythyn. My
brothers played rugby, my uncle's farm. I'm not really all of.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
That, you know, you famously grow up in the three
story house.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
And myth.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Anyway, I've been trying so hard because I just I
do love a house that smells like baking. And I
always think it's n you know, when BJ comes home
from work at lunch, it's nice just to have a
bit of baked goods on.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
The cheese gone. What is it?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Cheese gone? I'll do cheese go on. Today I tried
to do some banana chochh at muffins.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
I was like easy, right, like foolproof. You can't stuff
this up? No, no, no, because I'm really good at cooking
because I like to just be able to throw in
a bit of this and a bit of that. I
don't like following particulars, and.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
That is that is the key crapicial difference between baking
and cooking. Cooking you can kind of experiment. Baking, you
have to be very precise. It's like science and page
you and I we're never good science, ever.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
And so to throw things to throw something else in
the mix. We have a fire oven at home, like
it's very old school. It hates our water. And also
so underneath the fire there is like this little oven
area where you can if you're brave enough cooking it.
So sometimes it's amazing and I pull it off. But
this morning, once again, this is like the third time
(07:03):
in a row, they're burnt. I pulled them out and
absolutely charred, and I kid you not, I put them
in for ten minutes. I was like, cool, I'm gonna
do a quick little workout for ten minutes. Shortly after that,
I'll come back and I'll be ready to go. No,
they were ready to burn my insights, and I just
I just think, now I'm at that point. Maybe it's
just where I surrender and I, yeah, I tell the world,
(07:25):
this is just not for me.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Do you have Do you have to do it in
the fire oven? No?
Speaker 1 (07:32):
But our oven is also slightly problematic.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
I just think, Maye, are you trying to be like
a little little house on the prairie. You just think
it's really cute and esthetically pleasing, when actually a normal
oven will do.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
I really thought I was going into my home sitting
era and I just don't know if it's for me.
Guys drying so hard with it.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Stick with it, Stick with it, Maddie and PJ the
podcast that.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
I saw an article art today about Britain's richest family,
the Hindujas. There's some allegations floating around basically suggesting they
exploited the workers and a bunch of other things which
went so great. But an interesting detail did emerge from
the article, and that was that they spent more on
the pet dogs than on seventh So it was revealed
(08:22):
there was a budget document entitled pets and it said
that they showed it showed that the family spent eighty
five hundred and eighty four Swiss francs and a year
on their family dog. So I was like, oh, what
is that equate to New Zealand dollars? It's our fifteen
grand fifteen grand in a year, fifteen thousand dollars. Now
I know you've got Otis. He's like your baby essentially
(08:44):
to you and Ryan.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
I'm learning right now. There's no bloody way, there's no
the cab.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
What's the can?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
A year significantly less than that?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
How much do you love Otis? Medi?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I adore him, but cheap food and a few snacks
from here and there and a couple of tal isn't
he happy?
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Isn't he fine? Brand I tried to do some Matty
McLain investigating. I couldn't work out exactly what they were
spending this much money on their dogs, but it did
get me thinking there are certainly some people out there
who have pets with a finer taste, you know, the bie,
the bougie pets. Some people treat their pets, and you know,
(09:23):
I think it's beautiful thing, especially when people are lonely.
You know, this is this is all they've got, and
so of course you're going to treat your little fur baby.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
A few years ago in Auckland, they opened a dog
specific restaurant and it served really bougie food that that
created just for for dogs, but it was based on
human food. So they had like doggie Pizza's, doggy Sushi,
doggy fried chicken, and you could go along and food
feed your dog all of these crazy food they did.
Speaker 1 (09:53):
They get seedars or they got seated and everything yeah
can get. We actually asked on our Facebook page you
can check out the Hats Drive with Media and page
on Facebook. We asked the question, what's come through there
about bougie pets?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Amy Scherisa's seven hundred and fifty dollars on a cat
tower that has a ten year structural guarantee it was
on special So it was on specials, she says, down
from one thousand dollars Maine coons. Those are those big cats,
she said. They wreck the cheaper towers. So you got
you've got to spend big if you want it to last.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
Well, you do some of our text and actually, just
just then, I have a bougie pet. Chest of the
little purebred griffin.
Speaker 4 (10:37):
He climb.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Just sounds boozy right, No more say he climbed on
the dinner table and stole my lambshack right, my fate
when we went to check on the baby. What's more,
he instays on sleeping in our bed at night, not
on it, but in it, under the covers and between
my partner and I. I cannot len Maddy and PJ.
Madi and PJ the pod cast. We just want to
(11:02):
know on white hundred the hat so you can text
us four for eight seven do you have a boogie pet?
Did your pet enjoy the finer things in life?
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Some brilliant tests coming in peage on four four eight seven. Hi, guys,
my two dogs are very spoiled. Currently on my way
to Starbucks for a coffee and two puppuccinos for them
and they own us. I'd say on the treats alone,
we spend at least two thousand dollars a year.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Excuse my ignorance, but what does it puppacino consist of?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I think literally is milk?
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Is that?
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I think? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Just a little frothy milk with a little.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Sprinkling, like some fluffy almost that you get a gloffey.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Would you put some like yeasty flakes on top to
give it a little savory hat? Lay? He's got a
katie on wite hundred the hat, Hi Katie? Why is
your pet a little bougie?
Speaker 5 (11:48):
So he has a box the dog, and he is
about fifteen months old. He only eats royal canine biscuits
after drying teat also both today here every day from
Monday Friday. Yeah, and then I also sometimes he has
(12:10):
like chicken skin, so I end up making him like
a chicken crop pot for himself with all the good
stuff and chin bone broth. Come no ever is the
same thing? Like even my kids like can I hate that?
And I'm like, no, it's for.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
The dogs, brilliant love.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Hey, we have got we've got some hots. We've got
some hot stores coming away.
Speaker 5 (12:40):
Kdie awesome, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
No worries. Have a great rest of Tuesdays.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
It's usually food. If I'm looking at the text machine,
me and my partner have a master and we spend
four hundred dollars a month on food. Someone else said,
my dusty gets cooked chicken and rumped rump steak when
on special. Someone else said, my curly coated retriever who
was fussy with her food. We got spaghetti, she got steak.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
What about this Norman the Dorky? Is dorky a kind
of dog I should have? I don't know if I
checked that first.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
It must be must be a breed.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
It's not a derogatory term, is it. Norman the Dorky
sleeps in our bed with his head on our pillow. Yeah,
so many ICs coming through the podcast the heads jape.
There has been some aviation news over the last seven days.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
I swear well, literally over the last two days, I
sweet every time I looked at my push notifications on
my phone, it was a different story about a different
airline problem. It was crazy, We've got.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
This's like something we should be worried about globally, Like
is it is it time that planes need renewal, Like
what's I know that we're not aviation experts, but there
are an increasing amount of airline horror story.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Look, I do think this is all just a bit
of coincidence than they just happened to have happened all
at once, but it is a lot. The Prime Minister's
plane broke down and he had to be rescued with
a commercial flight from me in New Zealand. They had
to come to the rescue and pick him up. A
flight from Wellington to Queenstown hit turbulence and a passenger
and a crew member it sustained injuries on the flight.
(14:18):
And then there was this wild story about the passengers
on board the Virgin flight from Melbourne that caught fire
and had to do an emergency landing in Queenstown. Absolutely crazy.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Now, Producer Sarah on our team is quite vocal about
her fear of flying. Like literally, when we had to
fly around the country for simply the Best tour, it
was quite a big thing for you, wasn't it, Sarah?
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Yeah, every flight you catch is a big deal.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
I'm actually getting a little bit flustered thinking about it.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Bringing me back.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
So how do you feel when you see these notifications
come up on your phone.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Honestly, every time I see another one, I'm like, that's it.
I'm never flying again. I told you these things go down.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
But riddle me this because Ryan, my husband, is terrified
of sharks but loves consuming sharks.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah, I think that's what the thing with Sirah is.
You've got it like on Google search looks, so every
time there's a news article, the.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Amount of time not a special alert. But I do
obviously follow all the news sites for this job. And
when I see the little banner come up and it's
like plaque fire, I have to click. I have to
know what I have to be prepared for when that
happens to me inevitably.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Will inevitably, I'm sorry, You're.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Going to be sorry when it's Sah.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
And it's so important to remember perspective and like the
danger you know, when it comes to even just crossing
the road or being in a car. Do you know
what I mean?
Speaker 2 (15:50):
And when we.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Hear this, we think, oh my god, my god. But really,
when you actually put it into the stats, I don't
want to worry anyone else. You're fine.
Speaker 2 (15:56):
It's just been a bad week. It's bad fun.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Many INPJ the podcast Many and pj's Group Therapy.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
In the meantime, sit back, relax and tell us your problems.
You can text four four eighty seven whenever there is
something going on. We do this every Tuesday afternoon. Or
you can hit us up on our socials the hats
drive on Instagram or Facebook and look, we've.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Tackled some of the big issues, we've tagled some of
the small issues and everything in between, whatever is going
on in your life. If you just think it would
be so nice to have some an outsider's perspective mm hmm,
then let us know. This one, I would say is
on the slightly lighter side, but it still comes with
a bit of seriousness as well. This person has written
high Team, hoping you can help me out with group
(16:43):
A group therapy DILEMMAM. Recently, I was driving from Auckland,
where I live, back to New Plymouth for a weekend
at home with my parents. A friend of mine in
Auckland is also originally from New Plymouth and asked us
she could jump in the car with me for a
trip home. Now I just quickly googled it's about five
and a half hour drive from Auckland to New Plymouth.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Oh wow, so that's a ten hour round trip.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Times are obviously tight at the moment, and we all
know petrol's expensive, so I kind of expected my friend
would chip in and help out. We never actually had
the conversation, though, so I guess that's on me for
just assuming I was already driving home anyway. So I
suppose if she didn't come with me, I would have
paid for the petrol myself anyway. But is it fair
(17:27):
if I now ask her to help pay half. I
could really use the money.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
So, oh good money and friends, just look at the
end of the day. Yes, times are tough. I think
if this is a good mate of yours, just throw
it out there. You're not gonna know unless you throw
it out there. But I mean, your friend could say
that you could have specified that before the trip. That
(17:54):
will be the only thing. I think. Assumptions are dangerous.
And when you say I assumed that they would chip in,
that's not really a fear point. If you haven't had
the discussion, like that solid discussion beforehand.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
I think you've got to let it go.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Oh yeah, I do.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
I just think you didn't have the discussion you were
driving home anyway, you were going to have to pay
for this yourself. And sometimes you just do things, you know,
out of the goodness of your heart for a mate,
and your mate wanted to ride home and you offered it,
and that's that if you really, if times were tie
and you were offering your mate, you probably should have
said something before they jumped in the car.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Oh man, that's a tough one. I would say you
still would. I would say you still can. I would
say you still can bring it up afterwards. If they're
a good enough friend, at least they could just laugh
it off and be like, oh, dude, you could have
said it first, but like, you don't know if you
don't try, that would be my sort of and I.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Guess the question then becomes, Peache, how do you bring
it up? Do you do it in a bit of
a fun joking manner snapchat? Is it kind of? Is
it a jokey you're tied? Are so half? I thought
you'd pay half and you didn't.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
Or like maybe on the next time you guys go
out you can be like, oh, you can shout because
you never got me the money for food for the trip.
Speaker 4 (19:14):
Maddy and PJ Madi and PJ the podcast The Many
and pj's group Therapy.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
All right, let's recap this week's dilemma, McLain. It's one
that we've all probably been in at some point in.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Time, agree totally. Recently, I was driving from Auckland, where
I lived, back to New Plymouth for a weekend at
home with my parents. A friend of mine in Auckland
is also originally from New Plymouth, and asked so she
could jump in the car with me for a trip home.
Times are obviously tied at the moment, and we all
know petrol's expensive, so I expected my friend with chipping
and help out. We never actually had the conversation. So
I'm wondering, now, is it fear if I asked her
(19:51):
to pay half? Now you reckon?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Not no way, Jose, what just it's done, It's done.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
And you need to move on. I just think you
were already driving that way, you were already going to
be paying for the petrol. Anyway, if you really wanted
your friend to chip in, you should have probably had
that conversation before you jumped in the car. And that
is honestly, genuinely the generally the way that the text
machines are going more.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
It does seem to be the general sentiment. Un least
hit the phones though. Oh wait, one hundred the hats.
Sharon is joining us. Sharon, what are your thoughts on
the situation?
Speaker 4 (20:26):
Hi, look, no, we're going to go to.
Speaker 6 (20:28):
New Premouth anyway, So it was a nice thing to
take your friend.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
However, and next time you see them.
Speaker 7 (20:33):
I would probably say, next time you're at the gas station,
feel free to grab me at petrol voucher to cover
your share of them.
Speaker 1 (20:40):
You can.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
You're not asking for cash as such, but it's a
nice thing.
Speaker 7 (20:45):
If they say, oh, no, you were going anyway, you'll
know exactly what they said.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
Yeah, and maybe know what kind of a friend they are.
I mean, it's bold, Sharon.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
It just depends, that's right, the level of friendship that
you have. Like, if it's a really good mate, then
you probably can push it a little bit more rolled
out see what you get back. But otherwise money can
just be really awkward.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
Chat.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
Brendan on the phone is joining us. All right, hand
of the harts. What are your thoughts, mate? You think
if you assumed yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, were good. Sorry,
I think that.
Speaker 7 (21:16):
If you assumed that there was a meeting of minds
about she would contribute on the way down, and you
were wrong that you should consider before you say anything,
that you might be wrong about what her opinion would
be if you ask you for money. Now that they're secured,
you can do it, but you just got to consider
(21:36):
that it might damage the relationship because you can still
be friends with similar values. But money is a funny thing,
and once you've got that in there, they may not
do anything, but that may always be in the back
of your mind. So it was me, I just bought
the bullet and go, well, I was going to pay
that money anyway. Ye, it would be convenient, but I
don't want to risk damaging my relationship with my friends.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
That's a good sound you. You got your shining together there,
and it's sort of just those assumptions. It's always dangerous
making assumptions, So just suck it up. Go okay, I
didn't have that conversation, And that's.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
That's your one to take, you know, And maybe next
time your friend is driving back to New Plymouth to
see the appearance, you jump in the car with them.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Exactly, and it all adds up. That's the thing about
friendships and relationships. Sometimes it is like a instead of
like a sprint a marathon, where you know you chap in.
Sometimes then they chap in. But in this situation, okay,
we're going to say. The general sentiment is it's time
to move on. Let it go, Let it go, let
it go. Many the podcast, some internal dramas have been
(22:46):
going down this study artecks I'm frustrated page.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
I'm frustrated, and I get frustrated every day, and you
see it because here's what happens in the studio here
in our building. I share a computer with Ben, who
does the Jonavan Ben Breakfast show in the mornings, and
every time I come into the studio, he is still
his profile is still logged in. I don't have access
(23:11):
to his actual emails or anything like that, but I
have to Jess, wouldn't it, But I have to log
him out of his profile and then log back in
as myself. And sometimes for some reason, it takes like
ten minutes to load the new page for me to
be able to log in, and so I'm just sitting
here waiting and waiting and waiting, and it is so frustrating.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Every minute counts when you're in a professional work environment.
Am I right?
Speaker 2 (23:41):
So I thought to myself, how can we get the
message through to Ben that it would be very helpful
to me if he logged out of his computer. And
we thought we could get our big boss Mandoin to
prank Ben by saying that he needs to do a
bit of a refresher course with it on how to
log in and log out of his computer.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
Mana, our boss is standing by. We're going to dial through.
Let's see what Ben has to say.
Speaker 8 (24:06):
Hey, Ma, I'm good mate. How are you right? Sorry,
it's just no, you're a good mate. Phone tag. You
know what it's like, you know, it's like, sorry, have
you have you got one minute?
Speaker 4 (24:16):
Yeah? Man? What's up?
Speaker 8 (24:17):
Perfect? Hey?
Speaker 9 (24:18):
I know it's been a really busy couple of weeks
with conference and everything last week, but I was just
hoping to get something and your calendar it have just
given me a call and they've been looking through their
systems and processes at the moment and it's come up
on a report that you're not logging out of the
studio computer at the end of the show.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Ah okay, yep.
Speaker 9 (24:35):
And because it's a shared computer, they're concerned about the
access remaining open and they need to make sure the
process is a streamline.
Speaker 8 (24:41):
You know what it's like with the herald and everything
else and the security risk. So I'm just this.
Speaker 9 (24:45):
I've just got a form with them at the moment,
but basically I need to book you in for a
session with them. It'll be probably about forty five minutes
just to run through the logging out process.
Speaker 8 (24:57):
Logout, just to log out.
Speaker 9 (24:59):
I know, mate, I know, it's one of those things
I said, are you serious, like to seriously click log
out on a computer? But apparently it's they reckon. If
they can get through it quickly, it'll be thirty minutes.
Otherwise it'll be about forty five.
Speaker 4 (25:11):
Wow.
Speaker 8 (25:12):
Okay, what what day works be for you next week?
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Um?
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Oh, look at the calendar. Probably early afternoon.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Yeah, I can start doing it.
Speaker 7 (25:21):
Well, that helps to run me through it?
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Yes, it would help, be in because.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
Every single day that I come into this studio I
have to spend at least five minutes logging out from
your bloody profile. So if you can, if you can
spare forty five next week to do this, I course
that'd be great. Thank you very much, Longer.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Company man, Christian. At the end, I'm like I can
make those any longer.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
So here is your warning. Ben. We want you to
log out of your computer every day when you leave
the studio.
Speaker 8 (26:07):
All right, I see.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
I don't know how they did stuff over at TV many,
but probably the same.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Way Lison learned.
Speaker 2 (26:18):
Can we can we call us a lesson learned logout.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
The podcast.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
I've mentioned this before, but I'm in my very first
bridal party for the first time ever.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Because how many of you, how many of you on
the party.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
Four of us and then you well, I've got to
organize a hen's do and there's a she's marrying a
guy with Indian heritage, and so we've got to do
a sand geet, which is like a traditional element to
like an Indian wedding and it's beautiful. We have to
learn a choreographed dance routine as part of the bridal party.
Speaker 1 (27:03):
That's sorry, That is so up your alley. Don't act
like it's going to be hard. You're going to be amazing.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
No, I love it, but it's also quite stressful learning
all these all these much true.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
You want it because you want to get it right totally.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Yeah. And so my best friend we've known each other
since we were thirteen, we went to high school together,
and she came around on the weekends so that we
could start to learn this dance that we've got to
do for the same geek. And while we were there,
we started reminiscing about our childhood and our friendship and
high school days and everything, and it was reminded to
(27:34):
me how we actually became friends in the first place. Messenger, No,
so no, So it's kind of it. Well, it's an
awkward story, but I'll preface this by saying everyone involved
is totally fine. But when I was when I was
at high school, I had a very very dear friend
(27:55):
of mine and we were not necessarily the coolest of
kids at school, and so our lunchtimes we were very
like bonded together, and she ended up in a quite
serious car accident. She was fine, but she was in
hospital for a couple of months. After the excellent she's
totally so lonely without so lonely. So I went to
(28:18):
school one day and Jackie, who is now my best
friend from high school, had just started at school, and
so I approached her and asked if she would mind
being my temporary best friend while my other friend was away.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
So when your best friend comes back.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
But Jeckie, because she was new to school, said yeah, sure, fine,
so took up the offer and then we just became
so bonded that the two of us became best friends.
And then when our other friend came back to school,
she kind of joined in on the party and it
was the three of us.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
That's sweet. Okay. So then you guys all ended up
for a space.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Yes, but it all started because I asked her very
audaciously if she would mind being my temporary best friend
to ire.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
Just for a fellon, just for a fella. You're like
off the bench to go.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
I love it when there's a good story behind how
you made it. Friend. Oh eight hundred, the hats as
our number. You can text four for a seven. We've
got some Chemistry House prizes up for grabs.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
I want some.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
I actually want. Stayed in contact with my taxi driver
and we started texting, and she'd asked like what I
was up to on the weekends, and I was like, man,
this could be really a thing, Like imagine if we
usually became really tight. We didn't because I ended up
moving countries. But there was like a period time with
my TEXTI drive and I was like, thank you, this
is quite you know, different kind of way to meet
(29:39):

Speaker 2 (32:14):
Oh my god, I love this. I love this. Wait,
come on, are you still with the with the husband?
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Okay, okay, because that would make for an awkward friendship then,
but obviously you guys kind of found solidarity and this,
you know, was hatred.
Speaker 7 (32:32):
For her kind of I don't hate.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
I don't hate.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
It's a good way to be.

But I guess he possibly had a type and you

Speaker 2 (32:54):
Someone else texts, someone else text in earlier and meet
my best friend that he did on my cheating its husband.
He's a PI.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Sorry, what do we have like real life pis in
New Zealand?
Speaker 2 (33:06):
But must do? And now now she's friends with the PI.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
Oh my god, this really took a juicier turn than
I so Maddy and the podcast.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
Hey, I was at a cafe this morning and I
took the dog for a walk, and so when we
got there, I ordered a coffee and sat outside and
just thought we'll just have a little breather and have
my coffee sitting outside of the table. All of a sudden,
I heard a very very loud rumbling. It was one
of those cars that has a very loud.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Exhaust, exhaust like the subwafer.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
It was very loud. The whole car was very loud.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
That he's just tuning in, you've probably just turned out.
Speaker 2 (33:55):
The exhaust was very loud, the sub waffer was very loud,
and he was playing. I looked into the car and
it was like a middle aged man who was playing
a song I wouldn't have necessarily imagined him listening to.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
It was this.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
Nasty Girl.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
I've nasty nasty, I've been a nasty girl.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
I've been a nasty girl. And here's this middle aged
man rocking up to the cafe in his car. It
just was so unexpected. It was kind of crazy. But
that's not where the craziness with this guy ended for
me anyway. Yeah, I kind of wanted to get your
thoughts peage. He pulled in right outside the cafe, was
Nasty Girl still playing. Nasty Girl was still playing. I
(34:43):
was just saying that as a Nasty Girl was still playing.
He left a car running and then went inside to
order his coffin, and he just stood. He just stood
inside for like five minutes with his car running while
he waited for his takeaway coffee.
Speaker 1 (35:04):
And everyone to know that he's been a nasty girl.
Speaker 2 (35:07):
It was quite a nice car as well. And look,
I know New Zealand on the whole is relatively safe,
but still, yeah, I just thought it's very bold to
leave the car, the keys in the car, the car running,
Nasty Girl Bloody playing in the stereo for five minutes
while you.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Go in and order your coffee? Is there? Do you
know what I'm thinking about it? No, man, there's a
lot of trust. There's a lot of trust. I live
in a small town and I probably actual wouldn't do that.
I was thinking I had done that, but no, I
actually do still. Even if I'm parked right out, like
there's a sort of uh container place I go to
for coffee and I can literally just run in and
out and I'm right there, I'll still actually lock the car. No,
I think about it.
Speaker 2 (35:43):
Yeah, so he was brave. I would love to know
your thoughts on the text machine four four eight seven
is this.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Should we play nasty Girl?
Speaker 2 (35:51):
Should we play nasty Girl?
Speaker 4 (35:52):
On the head?
Speaker 2 (35:53):
It's our first question and second question, is that normal
behavior to just leave the car running while you go
into a store.
Speaker 1 (36:01):
Yeah, all right, love to know your thoughts for the podcast.
So my nearly two year old son, Charlie is going
through a really cute phase. He's talking so much, and
he's getting a real cheeky sense of humor so much.
He is so adorable as new game is. Actually I
(36:22):
don't know if this is radio friendly, but like so
he I've rested him for a long time and so
his comfort is to still put his hands down my top.
He touches what he calls and I go not boo boo,
and he goes booo. So he'll even do them when
I go away.
Speaker 2 (36:40):
He'll do it to Bejo my husband.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
He'll be like boo and just like you're not gonna
get out in and out of that mate, squeeze all
you want.
Speaker 2 (36:46):
There's nothing coming in.
Speaker 1 (36:47):
So he started like squeezing them really hard and I
go not funny, and he goes funny funny. And also
he'll tell you to shit down when he's trying to
say sit down. Who sat so furious and be like
shit shit down anyway, So he's really cute. He's talking
a lot, and we're going on a lot of adventures.
And in the morning, I really you know, getting him
(37:08):
outside his key. We go on machines, We go down
to the river. We throw rocks in the river for
about twenty minutes to half an hour. Bam onto the
next part. We go to the fruit trees and we
pick up for joeas bam. Then we go visit the puppies.
Like literally, we've got the circuit down, but he's starting
to get a little tired of it. He's sort of like,
what's next one? And then I discovered that the neighbors
(37:29):
have a trampoline, so I know, right, and so this
is like Christmas on steroids for him. He's like, what
is this thing? Because he's going through a phase of
loving bouncing on bids. I introduced him to the trampoline
yesterday and he loved it. And then I thought, how
bad is it if I do that because our neighbors
are only there sort of weekends. Well, I'm just doing
(37:50):
this full time, going over using the trampoline. Do I
need to start paying like a little fee, a rental fee,
a rental feet? Can't I just go hard?
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Well? How many times? How many times are we talking?
Speaker 1 (38:02):
Well? This is the first time we've done it. But
I can say this is going to be a real
staple you dated day.
Speaker 2 (38:07):
Now you've introduced it to him, he's going to want
to exactly.
Speaker 1 (38:10):
He's going to want it all the time. Yeah, it's
going to be the new bubble.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
But like I was like, this is great.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
How good is it when you live next to a
neighbor there's got all the fancy equipment.
Speaker 2 (38:21):
I do think that about Sububia when your neighbor has
a pool. Surely surely not much.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
Like that, right, Although I mean to be fair, they
did say feel free to go out and use it
when you want, But I'm like, how much is too much?
They know they'll never know because they're not there until
they get home. And I'm still there with Charlie and
I'm like.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Come on, let's go. They like you, and they've got
those security cameras and every day they're like, there's PJ
on the tramp again.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
And I've known the whole time. Many and the podcast
heads
