Hi and welcome to the podcast for a Tuesday.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Hello, how are you?

Speaker 1 (00:14):
Hi?

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Good?

Speaker 1 (00:16):
How are you good?

Speaker 2 (00:20):
Oh? God? I do you when you put up stories
on your Instagram? Do you ever rock a close friends
You know, you can create a close friends group and
then you can know certain stories out just to a
select few.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
I might have done it like once or twice. Invact,
I accidentally did it the other day and then I
was like, oh shit, so I deleted it, and then
I did it again, just a normal But I do
feir really special when the old greenplings comes up and
I know that I've been allocated and the close friends list.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
I'm always I'm often amazed at whose close friends list
I've made.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Same.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
I think Clint from Zidim, I think I was one
of his close friends. Maybe.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
But you've known each other for a long time, you're
and Clinton?

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Yeah, yeah, well, I mean yeah, but I've never got
to know him like so well, I suppose I've known
him like in a digital space, but I've never actually like,
you know, this is the first year, we've been actually
working for the same company, but it's still I'm like
in the mighty worded up. But you know, there's a guy.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
There's a guy I know. I wouldn't say I know
him super well, but we've met a few times and we, like,
you know, kind of those social media friends will message
each other, like, you know, react to each other's stories
and stuff. Yes, I just found out that I was
on his close friends list.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Anyway you want to play call though you kind of
don't want to be like, oh my god, thank you
so much for putting me on here.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
I'm going to send you a photo PJ of what
just came up on his close friends list?

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Was that a sexy picture?

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Are you ready for it?

Speaker 1 (01:57):
Oh my god, send it to me. I am describe

an inflatable hot tub. I can't well, I'd be honored
to It's a.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Great photos, great photo.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
So you've never met it, So he's also a digital friend,
like we.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Have no we have met in personal so you have
I yet. I was just surprised to make his close
friends list. But yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Would love to know. See this is the next part
you want to know how many people make it onto
that close friends like house fishal are you? Because you
can feel really special right until you realize actually it's
most of his bar a few because maybe he just
doesn't want a few people to say it. I don't
want to boost any bubbles. And I'm actually getting anxiety
now that I said that I was on close I
actually don't know if I was. I think I got

(02:52):
that confused.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
I don't want to be in stag. I want his
close friends list I made. I made a close friends
list once. It's got fifty two people one and I'm
just having a look.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Oh my god, who's on it? How do you find
out who's on your close friends list?

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Where do you go? Okay, are you on your thing?

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Oh? Yeah, close friends? I got forty eight yep, Oh
my god.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
It's very old though, Like I'm looking at this step smith.

Speaker 4 (03:20):
On there's like a really well, very very big name
Australian influencer.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
I don't know if only chose these, that's brilliant.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Of course you did. If Steve Cliss that's on there,
of course you did. You're desperate to be her.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
Friend, meg Allie. I feel like this is kind of
from people I've DMed the most, not reciprocated.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
But one way I'll tell you, I'll tell you something
for free. And this this, this is an indication of
how A how old my close friends list is and
b how little I use it. You ain't on.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
It road because I feel like we always interact with
each other's stories. Now, if it was a close friends
like list based on that, I'd be on there. But
you're hang on, hang on it, you're mine. No, you're
not on mone either, So that's actually good.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
How far how far we have cow we have?

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Honestly, we've got so close.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
And you'd be top of my close friends list.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Now, yeah, I think you've been there. Do you have
on your phone a favorites like contacts? I never, I've
never done this. You know how you can add?

Speaker 2 (04:44):
It?

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Just seems like one more thing?

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Ah, yeah, No I don't.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
Actually, probably actually would be easy, so you can just
quick dial. But I feel like anyone who even want
to call is already up in my recent call lock.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
There's very few. The very few people like call. I'm
just having a look through my call log at the moment.
It's my brother, my best friend, Chloe, Ryan, my agent,
Gettler's on the job, and Jack Tame and my mum,
and that's pretty much it.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
I sometimes want to call you, but then I'm like, nah,
just I'll give him a break because he sees me
a lot of time in the day, but can wait
till we get to it.

Speaker 2 (05:25):
Can call me anytime.

Speaker 1 (05:26):
I bet co workers in the bas who called a
lot and it stressed me out.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Anytime, I love a phone call, I prefer calling.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, but you don't like the voice message that my
husband said.

Speaker 2 (05:38):
No, I love the voice members Ryan Ryan, I doesn't
love a voice memo.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
I love a voice. Actually. Caitlyn, my really good friend
Caitlin from the Girls Uninterrupted podcast formerly from Sidium, she
the other day got the eck. She got the eck
from me when I seen a voice message. She's like,
what are you doing? But then my friend Morgan in
the background, I was like, I love a boy message.
So I think it like really divides people.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yeah, I used to hate them, but I'm getting better.
I'm getting more on top of them. Sometimes they are
just really easy things.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
It's just a good dump. It's just like a little
little and I can get it all out how I
want to and there's enormous interpretations. Anyway. Coming up the
podcast today, we talked about your partner's beij flax. This
is like the quirky thing that they do that doesn't
hinder their attractiveness level, but it's just a bit curious.
It's just a bit interesting.

Speaker 2 (06:29):
Plus, you seed something on the show last week during
a game of headle miss that we do every day
that came.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
Back time and group therapy. Can you ever come back
from hooking up with your best friend? We tackle that
plus so much more in today's podcast.

Speaker 3 (06:49):
Enjoy Many and PJ the podcast.

Speaker 2 (06:54):
That's okay, very lucky. You and I have got a
week's holiday coming.

Speaker 3 (06:59):
Out very shortly.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
Oh my god, I'm so excited. Not that I don't
enjoy my job day and day out, but it's just
like a really long feust. It's just busy going it
to work, a two year old toddler time.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah, there's so much going on in your life, so
it'll be nice to just step away.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
For a week.

Speaker 1 (07:19):
Right, So excited?

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Your well planned, like, you're very organized, you know what
you're doing. I'm such a last minute organizer of trips.
It's terrible.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
You can't afford to do that without kids, So I
think you can be a little bit spontaneous. It's way
harder when you've got dependence. Truly last minute.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
It's not smart on the bank balance, though, is it
when you do a last minute bookings?

Speaker 5 (07:43):
No?

Speaker 2 (07:44):
But I so I thought, what could we do? Maybe
we don't go away, Maybe we don't go far away,
like we don't fly anywhere. Maybe there's something some cute
little things we can do closer to home that we
can just drive to kind of thing. And I found
these little cabins that are super cute and they'll totally
off grid. In fact, some of them are so off
grid there's like no Wi Fi, there's no anything.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Like, so many cool options. Now you got the have
you seen the gds at domes. We wanted to do
one of them for any of VMB. It's like they're
kind of like these white things and they've got like
clear parts. No, no, you haven't seen that. There's so
many cool styles of a calmon these days.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
Yeah, these are these really cute little cabins and some
of them have little like outdoor fireplaces and that's super cute.
H My issue is that quite off grid, like I
wouldn't even have cell phone reception.

Speaker 1 (08:39):
Many that's the idea of going off grid.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Yeah, but then I'm literally I know, but my concern
is what do I do? Like, what do you do
with your time? What do you do with your time
these days?

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Do what humans have done for years on years?

Speaker 2 (08:54):
And what's that?

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Well, a couple of things. If you're just there with
your partner, like you love to read, you can read,
you can go for walks, you can have a glass
of wine, you can play board games, you can actually
converse without being distracted. Honestly, Oh, it's I feel like
it's a luxury these days to be able to actually
just go off the grid. And it's a good excuse

(09:17):
to stay away from your phone.

Speaker 6 (09:18):
I know.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
But you don't think I'll get too bored.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
You will, You will get bored, But no, you'll be fine.
I think it's just the initial part. It's like we
genuinely as humans these days have actual like screen addictions, right,
So it'll be tough when you have the withdrawal, Like
the first maybe few hours you'll be like and you're like,
what do you like tape? What do I do now?
But then you'll go into the state of bliss and
you'll be like, why do I look at this thing

(09:43):
all the time? I honestly I cannot encourage it enough.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
Do it?

Speaker 2 (09:47):
Okay, Okay, I'm going to okay, I'm going to okay,
excuse me?

Speaker 1 (09:51):
You mean on Celebrity True to Ryland and you're like, guys,
I didn't use my phone for like, how long were
you on the book?

Speaker 4 (09:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah, three weeks?

Speaker 1 (09:58):
But I head, do we need to turn it and
like a reality?

Speaker 2 (10:01):
If I'm not digging for I don't what to do
with my days.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Okay, Meddie made the Best Man went out of You
and Ryan two Me and one Kevin.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
It's not the new show, Meddi and PJ the podcast
that it.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
Has been a week of trawling through the archives, isn't it.
We were trying to find a sound deefect of view
the other day.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
It's dangerous. It's dangerous when you're dealing with archives. But
there's something very cute which emerged from your history earlier
in the week. And what was the publication that this
was featured.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
It is the Mountain Scene, which is the local Queenstown newspaper,
which is where I grew up, still still still going strong.
The Mountain Scenes is a fine publication, and I don't
know what. I don't think I was a front pager.
I don't think I was a front page. But maybe
page maybe a three, maybe a page oh.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Yeah, still solid?

Speaker 6 (11:03):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Was that yours truly? Aged eleven? A photo of me
doing a kids radio show? So when I was eleven,
they did a it was called kids Biz and it
was on a Sunday afternoon or Sunday morning, I think
from eleven till twelve. And we used to just do
an hour long radio show with a couple of other kids,

(11:24):
and it was so much fun. And I got featured
in the Mountain.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
Seats natural bleach blonde here like it looks like you've
chucked for roxide in there. That's just natural, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (11:37):
It was a natural, yeah, natural, A.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Little bit of hegel, which wasn't so natural.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
I went full spikes, full spikes for years.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
Okay, so you you made the local newspaper in Queenstown.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
You won up to me tho, No, I.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
Didn't want to ask you, but I do raise I
raise you the time that I made the local news
on CTVAN.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
Oh that's good.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
So I grew up in christ rich and Someone House School,
great primary school and we had like a mufty day.
It was like a Friday, and it must have been
celebrating the Crusaders going into I think it must have
been a final, and so to show the school support,
kids were asked to we ridden black for school. Of course, However,

(12:24):
old little renegade Harding chose to go against the tide
because my brother was playing for the Otago Highlanders at
the time, and I think I can't remember if they
were versing them in the final or that, you know. Anyway,
I found it hard to support the Crusader, so I
was literally the only student, it's right, So I had

(12:45):
I remember this blue turtlenick, and they had me on
CTV news and I was talking about why I chose
to go against the grain. I was judging the narrative.
I wish, I wish I could find the footage now
we did.

Speaker 2 (13:02):
I remember think we did have a little hunts that
we could find that. It's very hard to find those
things these days.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
Yeah, hears me think I could just YouTube someone high
schools CTV. Unfortunately that didn't quite cut up. I couldn't
find the footage, but I was thinking both of us
we featured in the news as kids. Anyone out there
right now, Oh eight hundred the hurts you can text
four four eight seven. Why did you make the news? Yes,
So we'll take newspapers, we'll take radio, we'll take the

(13:31):
six pm news. Maybe you're at the front of the bulletin.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Have you made top of the six o'clock news bulletin.
That's that's fancy.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Yeah, that's impressive. So get in touch. Oh eight hundred
of the hats you can tease four four eight seven.
At least go around the country, least see who's made
the news. Trivial, big deal.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and PJ the podcast the Hits.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
We're asking the question, when did you make the news?
Pala still present, beg or small will take it all.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Yeah, you and I have been reminiscing. I made the
news when I was eleven because I was on the
local radio. We had like a local kids show on
the radio station in Queenstain, and the Mountain Scene came
and profiled me cutely a fountains. And then you made CTV,
You made the actual television.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:21):
I made the CTV news for being the only student
at school not to dress up and written black for
mufty days supporting the Crusaders my brother. My brother played
for the Highlanders at the times, so I was like, no,
I'm not going to dress up in that felth I
also I remembered there was a quote from me that
made the headline made the newspaper. I was about eleven
and they had a direct quote from me about nine
to eleven, and mate, I need to find the quote

(14:45):
from you.

Speaker 7 (14:46):
Why.

Speaker 1 (14:46):
It was like, well, just like first and I know,
but it was like first impressions from children and like
how they perceived it. I know you should have you
should just say my statement. It was very interesting. Anyway,
I had the to join the show. We wanted to
know what you made the news for get a money,
what happened?

Good afternoon. So in the early two thousands I was
in the Royal News yealing Navy and one day we
came back from a major deployment and we had the
media on board the ship and all that sort of
stuff in I made the TV news then, yeah, but

He was next door farm where we lived, just out
of Balls. It was an organic farm, and so I
kept the kids off school and we just stood out
the front waiting to see him go past and just
wave and then he just out of the blue decided
to stop and talk to us.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
Oh, you should put him in for a coppa cat.

Speaker 8 (16:22):
One night, we had a dog who just like him.

Very exciting, a great, very exciting day for Balls. Let's
wrap up with Mark from the Cargo Mark how did
you make the news?

Speaker 10 (17:04):
I was on the split of New Zealand and when
it came down to bluff for it comes down once,
ay four years, so I guess the sometimes not a
big deal of it.

Speaker 5 (17:13):
Yeah, so yeah, they just interviewed.

Speaker 8 (17:16):
Me and one of the other friends.

Speaker 5 (17:19):
That was on the boat as well.

Speaker 9 (17:21):
When you have just made as how we thought of
the trip and what we learned on the boat.

Speaker 2 (17:26):
From ye were you front page? Were you front page?
Mark or you tucked a few pages in front page?
Bhi slow news, but well done, Mark, well done.

Speaker 1 (17:42):
There's so many amazing ticks coming through. I was on
the six Cott News during the tsunami. I was a
worker in Thailand when the tsunami hit. TV in did
actually came over and interviewed me. I was also on CNN.
What was the other word? What about that? I made
the local paper as a care because we were doing
some fundraising helping people do gardening. I dug up a
five hundred year old rang.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Am I love this one. Not the news, but I
did make the cover of the nineteen ninety New Zealand
Place into calendar when I was four, Curly go to
convest looking at a mirror still got a content.

Speaker 6 (18:10):
Many in PJ the podcast Many and PJS Group Therapy.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
Genuinely look forward to this every time, every every week,
Like every Tuesday that rolls around, I'm like, oh, what's
coming up on group therapy afternoon?

Speaker 2 (18:26):
And actually over the weekend a friend of mine asked
me for my advice on something pretty trivial. But was like, yeah,
I don't thing I should do about this, And I
was like, well, straight, give you some advice advice for you,
all right?

Speaker 1 (18:39):
So you can always get in touch with us either
text four or eight seven or hit us up on
the hits Drive Instagram. You can slide into our dms there.

Speaker 2 (18:47):
Truly and honestly. It can be anything. It can be trivial,
it can be serious, it can be about work, it
can be about relationships. Just anything that you think a
little outside perspective on this would be really helpful. I
have really good advice page.

Speaker 1 (19:01):
Whenever we do they do not ask, but people who
call into the show, I absolutely do. So you can
weigh in at the end, Oh Waite hundred the hats.
When we hear what this week's little dilemma.

Speaker 2 (19:10):
Is, let me read it to you, Hey, MEDIMPJ, I
love listening to group therapy every week, but I didn't
think i'd actually ever submit a problem until something happened
this weekend. I'm good. I know. I'm single and I
currently live with my best friend, who's also single. I'm
gay the straight. I've never been romantically interested in them

(19:30):
at all. They're my best friend. Why would I? But
we had a big night out on Saturday, and I
definitely had one too many gnt's next thing, I know
I've tried to kiss my best friend.

Speaker 4 (19:43):
I know.

Speaker 2 (19:44):
I woke up the next morning to a text from
them saying we need to talk about what happened last night.
I'm so mortified and uncomfortable that I've been avoiding them
since then. I'm so worried I've irreversibly damaged our friendship
with a stupid drunken mistake. Is there any coming back
from this? How do I make it better and patch

(20:04):
up my friendship?

Speaker 3 (20:06):
Help?

Speaker 1 (20:08):
Okay? What's the age old saying? Is it? Time heals everything?

Speaker 2 (20:13):
I thought you wouldn't say don't screw the crew.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
Definitely don't screw the crew. Time heals everything. I feel
like maybe you just need to give a bit of space.
What do you think.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Space possibly, but I also think on this kind of situation,
front footing it and just really clearly acknowledging that you
screwed up is the best is the best course of
action sitting your friend down and going I made a
massive mistake. I was clearly very drunk. This doesn't actually
mean anything, and I mean that from the bottom of

(20:48):
my heart. I love him as a friend. I want
to remain friends with you. I made a really stupid mistake,
and I hope that you can forgive me and again
give them the space and the passage of time just
deal with it on their own.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
Okay, Okay, that's pretty good advice. So you come out
the gates, acknowledge it, owner say you stuffed up. I
really value you as a friend. You're my best and
then give them the option for a bit of space,
because yeah, maybe they just need a bit of breathing,
breathing time to just let it simmer and move into
the abyss.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
The fact that they text that the best friend texts
this person and said we need to talk about what happens. Yeah,
that means they want to talk about it. It might
be their needs, it might be an uncomfortable conversation but
they're willing to talk about it, so you kind of
need to come to the party as well. I think.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
Okay, well, we'd love to hear your advice, now, your
feedback on this. Do you think you can come back
from hooking up with your best friends?

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Maybe you've had experience, maybe you've maybe you've been in
the situation before.

Speaker 1 (21:48):
What do you think this person should do? What is
their best next step? Get in touch? Oh eight hundred.

Speaker 3 (21:55):
Maddy and PJ.

Speaker 6 (21:57):

in your life. You just need a bit of external
advice or we are here to help. And this week's
problem is spicy.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
I'm going to read it to you. I'm single and
I currently live with my best friend who's also single.
I'm gay, straight. I've never been romantically interested in them
at all though my best friend, but we had a
big night out on Saturday and I definitely had one
too many gents. Next thing I know I've tried to
kiss my best friend. I woke up the next morning
to a text from them saying we need to talk
about what happens last night. But I'm so mortified and

(22:44):
uncomfortable that I've been avoiding them since then. I'm so
worried that I've damaged our friendship with a stupid drunken mistake.
Is there any coming back from this? How do I
make it better and patch up my friendship?

Speaker 1 (22:55):
I swear this is on a TV show, Medie. I
feel like this storyline is very good. That where am
I saying that? I mean, it's probably a tail as
old as time, really, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (23:06):
That's true?

Speaker 1 (23:06):
Now, Maddie and I both think that you need to
acknowledge it straight out. The Gates do have the chat,
and then maybe give them a bit of space. But
let's see your thoughts. Oh Light one hundred and has
Paul from Auckland wants to weigh and Paul, what are your.

Speaker 7 (23:19):
Thoughts whether it's guys or girls or whatever sexual dynamics
it is. I think what needs to happen is t
hear the scab off the wounds straight away and make
the phone call and have to have the conversation because
you use the word best friends in that term. Best
friends always go through trials and tribulations, and this is
just one of them. It's not just about sexuality, it's

(23:40):
about how comfortable he felt, and when alcohol plays a part.
We all know, and we've all been in a stupid
place in our life with alcohol that we've done something
and the best thing you can do is attack it
straight away. And he just needs to be honest own up.
He has feelings for him, then that's obviously different. He
needs to have that conversation too, But I definitely think

(24:02):
an immediate conversation is worth it and play play it
like a lighthearted situation that I can't believe this happened.
I was so drunk, you know. You know, there's obviously
care and trust factors that he had with this person
that made him feel that comfortable, so and alcohol brought
it out.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
I love it. Well, you're coming out of the gates
like an expert. Is this are you speaking from experience?

Speaker 3 (24:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (24:26):
I am, Yeah amazing.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
I love that you go first and advice. Thank you
so much. You're getting in touch. Let's go to Steve
on Oh I under the Steve, what are your thoughts.

Speaker 9 (24:37):
Hey you how you doing?

Speaker 1 (24:39):
Yeah, very well?

Speaker 7 (24:40):
That The first thing is no contact about that friend.
The words here was the best friend?

Speaker 2 (24:47):
Like that?

Speaker 1 (24:48):
That That's what I was so many tas saying that
someone goes have the talk buss. He might be keen
to jump the fence.

Speaker 4 (24:56):
Over he's got he's got one leg over at least talk.

Speaker 7 (25:03):
It could be a good he's making as it may.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
Be the true story, Steve, it's a whole new level
because this person doesn't want a romantic relationship, right see
them as a frint. Well, maybe that's.

Speaker 7 (25:18):
Going to Steve the drunk people the truth.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
That's that's true. I love that, Steve Good.

Speaker 7 (25:27):
Definitely contact them, what's going on, don't be afraid friend, and.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
Then just okay. So I think that where we've landed
is you've got to write the bandit of, You've got
to have that conversation, and then you never know.

Speaker 1 (25:39):
Something you never know, love could be in the air.
I love the calls that we hit this week. Thank you, Steve.
Be back this week with group therapy. If there's anything
you would like us to tackle. Texts four four eight
seven the podcast. All right, so it's a little bit

(26:02):
of a trend going on aline where you have to
share your partner's beige flag.

Speaker 2 (26:07):
Yeah, We're we're always being served up these new terms, right,
there's so many different things that we're going to keep
hard to keep up. But I'm sure so many people
out there have heard of red flags, right.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
That's yeah, because I do not do not proceed in
the relationship.

Speaker 2 (26:21):
The key buzz word of of the moment, which is, yeah,
those things in a person that really give off like
a like a literal red flag, like the relationship not good.
And then there's green flags, which are the things that
people do that are beautiful and should be really celebrated.

Speaker 3 (26:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:40):
Absolutely, And then I read about beige flags. I'm going
to read you the definition of what a beige flag is,
which might help people understand. Beige flag refers to a
person's strange or odd behaviors that catch someone off guard
but typically don't hurt that person's desirability. A beige flag

(27:02):
is neither good nor bad, but it does draw attention.

Speaker 1 (27:07):
Okay, So I'm feeling like quirky, kind of curious interesting.
When I initially heard beij I was like, oh, so
the boring traits about this person, but it's not that,
it's actually what makes them them, I suppose uniquely them.

Speaker 2 (27:20):
I'm gonna this is what brought my attention to It
was a video online that someone took of their husband's
beige flag, which is that he makes her what makes
them sit down to have a mandatory monthly meeting regarding
the organization of their fridge. So they literally sit down

(27:40):
in front of the fridge and go, okay, so are
we happy with the placement of the condiments here? Do
we like where the where the meat is sitting right now?
Is this the best place for our fruit and veggies?
You know, all of that kind of thing they do.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
That we need to implement this meeting in our household.
Our friends can really do with some organizing.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
So I thought to myself, well, what what would our
beije flags be? So I send a message to both
of our partners today.

Speaker 1 (28:08):
Oh no, don't, because I'm trying to think of bj
my husband's. I'd be the beigist in the relationship. I'm
certainly the quirky one out of us.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
So, yes, he said about you, he said, does going
from a run and staying in your running gear all
day count? No?

Speaker 1 (28:27):
How dear, I hate. No, I've done that once.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
I don't know. It sounds like you do this often,
he hates.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
He hates it if I don't get straight in the
shower after working out, because I am guilty of just
staying in my active with Did he say anything else?

Speaker 2 (28:42):
He said, the shutting of doors three times before leaving
the room or the car.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
Well, that's so, I said, How I can't help that?
Can I? Tho? He can't deal that? He cannot. I
have many different things. I touched door handles.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Yeah, I'm not hand I was worried that I'd opened
up Pandora's box. He said, the list can go on.
She is all beige, no red flags. Would rather be
all beige flags.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
Exactly What did run your husband say?

Speaker 2 (29:17):
He said, walking way ahead of people, or getting out
of a car and walking off regardless of how fast
other people moving.

Speaker 1 (29:24):
My god, that is so true. Oh bij Bja's beig flag.
That would be him getting in the car when I'm
not even ready getting in. De turns the.

Speaker 7 (29:34):
Car on right.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
I'm ready to go, to say, when I'm not even ready.
It's so passive aggressive. All right. These are some examples
of beije flags. We want you to join the conversation
right now. Oh wait, one hundred the hats. Maybe this
brought up something that your partner does that would come
under the beije flag umbrella.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
The weird and wonderful things that they do that make
them uniquely them.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
Let's celebrate. We've got some pries and STI give away
from Chemists were House. If we get you on the air.
Oh wait, one hundred the hats. You can also text
us four for eight.

Speaker 3 (30:06):
Million a podcast.

Speaker 1 (30:10):
And does your partner have a beige flag? Oh? Eight
hundred the hats. Definition of beige flag, go Maddie McLean.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
Beige flag refers to a person's strange or odd behaviors
that catch someone off guard, but typically don't hurt that
person's desirability. A beige flag is neither good nor bad,
but it does draw attention.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
All right, let's go to pull Paul. What is your
partner's beige flag?

Speaker 10 (30:35):
Okay, yeah, were wat it's a chef, but I love
to cop.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 10 (30:39):
What generally happens is I'll be at home cooking dinner
because I loved to cook, because he's been working, and
while I'm cooking, she'll clean up. She hates a really
messy kitchen. Right, So I'll be using a knife or
something like that. I'll put it down, go back to
get it and it's gone. It's been clean.

Speaker 7 (30:56):
Literally, got a.

Speaker 10 (30:57):
Plate out of the cupboard, turned around to get to
the pot and come back and the plant's gone.

Speaker 2 (31:03):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
So like, sometimes it must be blessful when you finished
cooking and the kitchen is just immegula. It must only
be a few times you go back to reuse, you
know some of the appliants and.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
Those few times and bloody frustrating.

Speaker 10 (31:18):
Yeah, especially a knife when you're chopping up stuff the
cook and you go to grab.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
Something exactly time.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
I think, so much for your call. It's got to
the Carbony coast. Corey joins us. Corey, what's your partner's
beide flag?

Speaker 9 (31:33):
Good evening. It's not my partner, it's me.

Speaker 2 (31:37):
You yourself confessing here, Corey sting himself out. Yeah.

Speaker 9 (31:42):
Yeah, I'm a bit of a sleep eater.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
What do you mean, Oh my gosh, So you eat
in the night and you're not even aware of it.

Speaker 9 (31:50):
Yeah, Like I'll wake up in bed with like a
pack of chips, a pack of chocolate boscuits in the
morning and I won't even know I've done it. I've
woken up in the pantry like eating, thinking what the
hell am I doing here?

Speaker 1 (32:02):
This is such a thing. Do you dream? Are you like?
Because I remember when I was little, Ice you dream
I've got to the toilet and I wake up in
so sheets? Are you dreaming that I was little? I
was little? But Corey, are you actually dreaming that you're eating?
Or is it a total surprise?

Speaker 9 (32:24):
I never dream of eating. I just just eat. I'll
walk around sometimes I'll find like a pack and a
pack of biscuits on the lounge or okay, on the lounge,
and I mean, I get to blame because I'm the sleeper.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
And how here's my next question? How much of the
packet do you get through? Corey?

Speaker 9 (32:42):
Sometimes the whole thing?

Speaker 1 (32:44):
I love that.

Speaker 9 (32:46):
Sometimes sometimes there's a few crumbs in the bed, which
isn't isn't too great.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
But if I would just I would pass it off
all the time. I can't help her. I was a
sleep really, I was actually right away.

Speaker 9 (33:01):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (33:04):
Self Guy G Maddy ANDJ Mady and PJ the podcast.

Speaker 6 (33:13):
Hey.

Speaker 2 (33:13):
One of the one of my favorite things about starting
this job and working in radio is that everything is archived. Yes,
Like when you say something on the radio, we keep
like a file of that audio clip for so long,
and so it's so easy to like trawl back through
the archives and find something that one of us is seared.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
It's danger I say, when you go back and you
look at the year, it's like Matty awkward story at
the petrol Start.

Speaker 6 (33:42):
I know.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
And so I wanted to actually remind you of something
that you said on our show recently. Mess I love
I love magic.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
I love magic, absolutely love magic. I love mysticism. I
love you name it a bit of woe, but just
kind of break me out. I don't get me wrong.
I can be very impressed by a good magic trick,
but just magicians generally only a traveling magician.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
I'm a traveling magician. Look, it was the end of
us show.

Speaker 1 (34:19):
It was after sex. You know, I get a little
loose and a little ruthless. I have so much respect
for magicians. I think they're one of the most fascinating
people out there. If I were to have another life,
maybe I'd be a magician.

Speaker 2 (34:29):
I think what you actually said was they freak me out,
and then went on to kind of mock the fact
that they traveled the country. So I thought, we can't
have this, Peege. We can't have you feeling this way
about magicians. Maybe I can help you get over your fear.

Speaker 1 (34:46):
Oh you're not going to make me do a live track?

Speaker 7 (34:47):
Are you?

Speaker 2 (34:48):
Traveling magicians? So I'd like to welcome into the studio
a very very incredible magician. Brendan.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
Hey, how's it goal, Hi brand, how's it going, dude?
How are you okay? Do you want to He's so
good to have you on the show.

Speaker 11 (35:04):
Well, sure, do.

Speaker 2 (35:06):
You want to? Do you just want to remind Brendan
of what you said about magician's.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
Peach or I just said I don't I personally I
have so much know what you see it. I just
I think they're misunderstood it either. Okay, I see they
freak me out, all right, that's okay.

Speaker 11 (35:25):
The way you're harming myself esteem right now is why
I do this. So it's not new information. This is
the export of a Saint Bede's education.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
Look, Brendan, I I you know, magic's just not everyone.
It's okay, I love magic, but just magic tricks.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
You know.

Speaker 11 (35:43):
I have to be in the right mode for it
I completely understand, but like, see what I love about
this is for me. You know, when I say I'm
a magician for a living, people go they either think
birthday party magician or dynamo. There's no one between.

Speaker 3 (35:55):
Yes, So you know, for me, I've grown up loving.

Speaker 11 (35:58):
This and for me the job is I wanted to
create a show for people who love magic, but then
for people who don't love magic. It's about creating this
joint and relatable experience, making it modern and accessible.

Speaker 2 (36:08):
So I love magic and you and I have already
done a little magic trek outside and I was blown away.
Do you think you can get PJ to love magic
with a magic trick? Right now?

Speaker 1 (36:18):
Let's give something a go?

Speaker 7 (36:19):
Why not?

Speaker 1 (36:19):
All right, we're going to come back. We're joined by
Brendan Doley, the magician. He is gonna wow Wa Snixt

We're joined by magician Brendan Dooley and he is about
to do a magic trek live on the air for us.
Head at Brendan, what have you got too?

Speaker 11 (36:44):
I flew back in last night, saw a magazine I
stole from a cornou wound yesterday evening. Maybe just because
you're qulose, I'll get you to be the eyes. You
can see different pages, different words. Yes, beautiful, I'll go
through you to say stop for me, dude, stop right here,

one of those pieces, so you have one piece in
your hand. Correct, correct, beautiful. What I would love for
you to do is hold one of those sides up
of the page for PJ to see, and PJ. What
I would love you to do off that piece is
go ahead and choose any word that you want.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
Okay, So do you want me to tell you the word.

Speaker 11 (37:43):
No, So I want you to just yeah, go ahead
and see any word that you want. Oh, I'll ask
is that it's a big meati sucker at least eight
or nine years. Okay, amazing, what do we do?

I'm locked and load to close your eyes for me, PJ.
I'll tell you when to open them. This is the
word that I believe that's sending on your head right now.

That reaction is why I do what I do. Like
for me, there's job wake, you know, I have the
pusure traveling around the world doing this. My work compileds
of corporate events and cruise ships and theater touring all
around the world. And for me, it's given the people
the gift of time. To Maddie, I want to give
you a gift as well. Actually, if you don't mind,
do me a favor to shake out your hands for me.
Just copy what I say. Say O MG, oh MG,
