But I'm I'm going to be right. I've got a
hearcut tomorrow and I really want to make that. I
don't want to.

like orange shampoo. I think I just want to go

road trap is all you need.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
I totally agree, totally agree, So it'll be nice. Hey,
tomorrow night.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
Though, we've got this.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
There's like a event like a a few DJs.

And I saw you post about this. This looks very cool.
It's quite cool event.

Yeah, too cool for us. It's cool. It's called Coco
Lech and.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
It's Tomorrow's night because they do a bunch of them
over the like across the year, and then tomorrow's one
is Egyptian themed. Oh okay, Ryan, we're going, what does
that mean?

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Do we dress? I mean, do we dress?

Speaker 2 (03:43):
And then we were like, wait, no, we can't dress
like that's is that that would be appropriation?

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Cultural appropriation?

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Well, I'm just looking at like Egyptian costumes. Yeah, it
could definitely be teetering on the line cultural appropriation.

Speaker 3 (03:58):
There's too there's a few things wrong with it.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah, appropriation to Most of the costumes I saw were
like very revealing, mind there, no I might, I don't mind,
and other people I don't want to dress like that, okay.
And thirdly, imagine if we went out and bought a
gypsy outfits and then we turned Bridget Jones and a.

Speaker 1 (04:19):
Cute little then and you're like, hay.

Speaker 3 (04:23):
Almost like we're literally in jeans and a shirt. What
are you doing? You want?

Speaker 1 (04:26):
Do you know anyone else that's going? Or is it you?
And Ryan? And then like a whole lot of other randoms.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
We do know a few other people going, so I
need to check with them because.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
I started you wear they're so tirugh.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Well, then I started googling like Egyptian inspired, and it
was always did you.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Take like a ParaMed on your heat like a sphinx?
Like what's he holding? He's holding like an ancient kind
of tool. Looks like a big not an X. Do

Speaker 3 (04:58):
Sticks like a sick it's got its like, hal, yes,
could you take that? Maybe? Maybe?

Speaker 1 (05:07):
And then like if it's just real orcs and no
one's dressed up, just leaving us to go with your pyramid.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Once again, because we had this conversation when I had
to go to there. I went to the event that
was cocktail themed. I was like, oh god, have I
Oh that's right, I'll take a photo of whatever I
wear tomorrow and.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Okay, great, oh my god? Fun? All right everybody.

Speaker 4 (05:28):
Well.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
Coming up on the show today, we caught up with
Lauren after her wedding, after we last minute matched her
with a wedding dress after she'd ruined it and literally
the day leading up to it. It was so cool
actually chatting to her. You can hear the final result
and how the winning went and how the dress fitted
all of it and more in the podcast.

Speaker 2 (05:50):
Yeah, we also talk about how far did you go
for a first date and we play a fun little
game with PJ, who's blissed.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Not very good at knowing well known quote.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
You know, I went into this quite quietly confided, I
thought you did. I think you're right. I'm not great
at quotes. That's my conclusion. Anyway, all of that and
more in the podcast. Enjoy and have a great long
matric you again.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
Bye the podcast.

Speaker 2 (06:19):
We've talked about this before on the show, but there's
nothing worse than finishing work and then realizing you've got
to go to the supermarket.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Right Like, Honestly, I do whatever I can to get
all of my admin and chores and groceries before I
get to work, so I don't have to do it
on the way home.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
Because when we finished the show at seven, I just
want to I want I want out.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
I don't want to get home.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
She late, she late. We just want to go straight.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
Home the couch and the TV. That Foghorn is loud.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
So today I thought, okay, I need to get a
few things from the supermarket. And we had a little
bit of downtime this afternoon before we started the show,
so I thought, there's a supermarket just down the road,
so I'll quickly pop down and grab a few things.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
So I was a quick question question did you go
when you were hungry? Because that is error number one.

Speaker 3 (07:11):
No, I know.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
No, I had had with an empty stommer. I had
had lunch. Does that mean I didn't buy myself a snack?

Speaker 3 (07:21):
No, it does not.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
Okay, but that's okay. But at least you're like not
going on that hunger and pulse. I was smart, so
you know you want to.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
I just bought the essentials, the things I needed, needed,
and then one tiny little treat for Maddie.

Speaker 3 (07:35):
You know, one t No, it hasn't gone. I'm saving.

Speaker 1 (07:40):
I'm kind of surprise saving it.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
But as I was walking to the supermarket, I realized
that I do something every time I'm walking down the
street and I stop at the pedestrian crossing. If if
you get to a set of lights and someone has
already pressed the crossing button, do you you still press
the crossing button on I absolutely to press the crossing button.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
That's right of passage. I don't know if it's going
to work with them. I have to double take it.
I have to double punch it just to make sure
that it's gonna go. Why do I do that.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
I don't know because I'm like, it's litter up, like
it's it's ready, it's ready to go. And then the
person that is already preceding it must be like, cheeky bugger,
do not trust me, do not trust my button pushing skills?

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Do you know what it is? I think it is
to break the awkward moment of silence, so then you
don't have to just sit there and do all my hands?

Speaker 3 (08:38):
What do I do with my hands? Okay, I'm going
to push?

Speaker 1 (08:41):
Oh am, I just doing another one just in case.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Okay, well you know you one is green and we're
ready to go. So you and I are the same producers.
Here has shaking her head as if we're absolutely bonkers.
I'd love to know the four four eight seven? Do
PJ and I widows for doing this? Or is this
just an every person thing?

Speaker 1 (08:58):
Do you double tap? You double tap when you know
that another pedestrians the go? But ticks now for for
a seven.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Many in the podcast's boy, we've already got a lot
of ticks somewhether you double tap the button at the
pedestrian crossing.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
We'll get to that a little bit later on this hour.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
In the meantime, I've got a deliberate It's like, from
one deliver to the next, looking out how cocked we
are and how much we like outcasts in society.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
It's fine, that's what.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
That's why we have a radio show, Peach, so that
we can put it to the people and see if
we're absolute total widows or not.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Such a good dumping ground. So my My, the love
of my life, Charlie my Toddler. He is coming up
to two in August, and he is as crazy they
say time flies and you're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
it really truly does. He is a busy boy. He
loves stimulation, he loves adventure, and you know, sometimes you've

(09:57):
got to get things done. And earlier in the week
I was like, man, I don't want to just put
it on like Peter Rabbit, which can become a ghos.
I love watching Peter Rabbits. I was like, okay, I'm
going to I'm gonna get creative. And so I found,
you know, like the device that you use with dogs
for feitch.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
Plasic thing. You toss it and man, they go far,
they go really fun. I just loves his.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
Great great device for a dog so here's my started
using this whilst on our little exercise machine at home.
I was like, right, can I just we'p out a
bit of exercise. So I start playing fitch with him

(10:45):
into the lounge. I'm like, he comes in, he goes mama,
and then I go three to one and I fling
the ball as far as I came away. Charlie runs
off like a little dog, brings it back to me.
And then I was like, this is great, but hang about,
hang about, this is damaging my son.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
This is literally a toy for fig our dog.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
I have almost like you know, sometimes you do revert
to what you do with your animals. Sometimes I'll go sit,
Chlie sit, or like good boy, and I'm like, oh
my god, no, hang on.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
And then his head good boy.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
He is a human being, not a dog. I wanted
to open up the question because I did. I put
a pole on my Instagram kind of you know, a
bit of tongue in cheek, and I said, oh, good
to play fetch with a toddler, right, it's not going
to give him him an animal complex. Seven percent came
out actually saying this is not okay. So I thought
we could do like a definitive pole this afternoon, there

(11:46):
may be weigh in with your own experiences. Did you
play dog games with your cash? This is very niche
and did they turn out okay? So give us a
call eight hundred the hats. Is it okay to play
dog games with your child? Maybe you've got some experienced
away and with oh wait, hand the hats, We've got
some help peaks of arches to give away. This could
be pretty natch olimit.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
No, I reckon people. People have their opinions. Teach us
before as well. We'd love to hear from you.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Maddy and PJ.

Speaker 3 (12:15):
Mady and Pj the podcast.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
I've just been talking about how you know you've got
to get creative keeping your toddler entertained and stimulated. And
I was trying to do a quick little workout one
of our little workout machines at home, and I started
playing fetch with Charlie, my two year old, Neil two
year old, with one of those literal fetching devices that

(12:39):
you use with dogs, you know, the big long plastic
thing that.

Speaker 2 (12:43):
You I know it well all I know it well
because they use it at the park with my dog Odors.

Speaker 1 (12:48):
And after he had like literally gone to retrieve the
ball twenty times. I was like, is this a bad thing?
Is this what parents do? Like? Is it okay if
you actually start playing dog games with your toddlers? So
I like hand of the hats with the phones Sandy
and Auckland wanted to weigh on.

Speaker 5 (13:06):
Yeah, EI think it's perfectly fine. Honestly, I did it
with my son and he's twenty six. And trust me,
at the stage if I say Tom fetch like I
used to when he was two, it's not happening.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
Okay, So he's not scarred for life, and he's not.
It's not like a hypnotism type thing where anytime he
hears the word he just runs off exactly.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
I wish he did.

Speaker 5 (13:29):
But she doesn't.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
Great to know, I think so much of you, called
Sandy a let's go to Taylor. I like, hand of
the hats, Hey, Taylor.

Speaker 6 (13:39):
Hi, I think it's perfectly all right. My brother in
law makes my nephew do tricks to get a treat.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
Wow, that's the next level.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
Like what does he make them? What does he make
the what what does he make hiss?

Speaker 7 (13:54):
Kild Do was thinking, you stand in high five, you know,
give me a sist roll over.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
All the way so normal, first buns and high fives.
I'm I'm above board with rollover. Is when you get
into dog Tira Tory. But the kids fine Taylor, Yeah,
it's all good. Well fine, because he's getting treats.

Speaker 1 (14:17):
All right, raving up with Lee and napier Lee. What
do you reckon?

Speaker 8 (14:22):
Oh, there's no problem. My kids from their thirties now,
and I mean I used to. I had a librator
pup at the same time and the ball and so
peach and of course don't run after at the same
time as the pup woard and half the.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Fighting for the ball, and they're they're fighting their thirties,
you're they are okay, perfect, Well, there you go. A
lot of ticks actually supporting it. This would have to be.

Speaker 2 (14:52):
I'll read this one first page during lockdown. Two boys
tuned into dogs only drink from a bowl, found a
box to sleep in. I was actually worried, but so
amazed that people other people have gone through the same thing.
They are totally normal now. They drink and eat like humans,
and they sometimes sleep in the road.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
My brother used to have a leation with your kids
because he'd take off it stopped the minute he jumped
out the car on all fours and stuff, parking like
a dog.

the podcast.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
That's what a couple of days.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
She was a big one.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yesterday we started our show by putting out a little PSA.
We had seen a social media post about a bride
called Lauren from christ Church who was heading to Nelson
to get married today today was her wedding, and the
day before her wedding she went to steam her dress
and it was ruined. She absolutely ruined the dress the

(20:25):
day before the wedding.

Speaker 1 (20:26):
So much stress can you imagine, Like it is so
much stress putting out to a wedding and then that happens.
We seriously felt for her.

Speaker 2 (20:34):
So we said we can't have this. She's not getting
married without a wedding dress, and so we put it
out to you. Does anyone out there have a dress
that they wouldn't mind lending Lauren for the big day?
And boy did you come to the party. We were
in undated peage.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
Absolutely and in so many beautiful dresses. Can I say
thank you so much? But in the end we ended
up landing on a dress from Emma and christ Church.
Lauren saw it, she loved it, and we thought right,
we had to get it on a flight at a
New Zealand flight last night. It was one of the
last flights going. It managed to arrive safely. And now

(21:10):
you've actually got a pature medi' to me. I'm seeing
it to you right now so that you can have

Speaker 1 (23:28):
Okay, thank you, thank you very much.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
Read the podcast.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
One of my favorite things about you is how much
you try.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
The effort is.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
Strong, the effort is strong.

Speaker 2 (23:46):
The execution isn't necessarily always nailed.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
But I tell you, we're going to nail it. It's
the best feeling in the world.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
I bet it is. I bet it is. But one
of my favorite things is watching you not nail it,
which is one which is what I've noticed a few
times lately when you've been trying to say a really
profound quote or say.

Speaker 1 (24:07):
It kills me. It kills me. You know, when there's
that profound saying on the tip of your tongue and
you absolutely butcher it and you're ruined the moment and
it's just gone, and you're like, but oh, I was
like literally a word off being so deep and meaningful.

Speaker 4 (24:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (24:20):
I know it because I see it in you regularly,
time and time again. I saw one on your Instagram
story the other day. What were you trying to say?

Speaker 6 (24:27):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (24:28):
I actually noticed this afterwards, I think I said, you
couldn't write about it? But it's actually you wouldn't read
it about it. I mean, technically they're pretty close.

Speaker 3 (24:41):
They're close, but they're not quite right.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
So I thought we could play a little game this
afternoon because I want to know if it's just is
it justin in the moment thing, or is it just
you're not very good at remembering these classic phrases or sayings.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
Oh my god, what have you got?

Speaker 2 (24:58):
I've got a few, and I wanted im to read
you the first bit of these sayings.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
You finished it off, Okay.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
Okay, play along in the car if you're if you're
lessening right.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
Now, I'm going to stay with it. What I think
is a lobal one.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (25:11):
Give a man a fish and you feed him for
a day.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
Give a dog a bone and you feed him for life.
It's a dog.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Try again, okay, So, give a man a fish and
you feed him for a day.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
Give a dog a car and you feed him for
a month. No, what is that?

Speaker 3 (25:39):
One more time? One more time? Give a man a
fish and you feed him for a day.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Okay, give a man a dog. No, give a man
a dog and you give him a friend, and you
give him a friend for life.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
Where are you getting dog from.

Speaker 1 (25:57):
I don't know, but you said, keep going with it?
Was it not the door?

Speaker 3 (26:01):
No, it was nothing to.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
Do with dog. The wrong cue there? What was it?
What was the answer to take us out of Amazar?

Speaker 2 (26:07):
Give a man of fish and you feed him for
a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed
him for a lifetime.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
God, I swear I picked up you saying no, go
with the dog.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Okay, next one, Okay, this is great, this is great. Okay,
if the mountain will not come to Muhammad, Muhammad will
go to the mountain.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
She nailed it.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
You have even knew that one, all right.

Speaker 2 (26:30):
Next, okay, let's go with this one. Do not lock
the stable door.

Speaker 1 (26:38):
Or else you'll be in trouble. Do not lock the
stable door. You must always leave opportunities open. In my close.
I hate this game.

Speaker 3 (26:51):
Do not lock the stable door.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
Or else the horse will get out you're very close,
or else the horse will run after.

Speaker 3 (27:02):
After the horse he's had a bath, I know. Do
not lock the stable door after the horse has bolted.

Speaker 1 (27:15):
Oh, that's silly. That doesn't make sense.

Speaker 3 (27:18):
It does make sense, makes perfect sense. You don't get
that one. Okay, they try one more. We'll go out,
go out in the high.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
Okay, we'll finish on a bank.

Speaker 3 (27:26):
Okay. Better to light one candle.

Speaker 1 (27:30):
Then burn the house down. Better to light one candle
then start a fire. God, am I close?

Speaker 3 (27:42):
No, you're not close.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
Better to light a candle to bring world peace.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
Why don't you miss Congenie out in this universe? Better
than light one candle than to curse the darkness.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
Well, that's just.

Speaker 3 (27:58):
There's a game, and this again we're playing this.

Speaker 9 (28:03):
Maj Mad and PJ the podcast.

Speaker 2 (28:08):
I remember this feeling getting a crush on someone and wondering,
how on earth do you.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
Seal the deal? How do you get it across the line.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
I just look back on my behavior when I had
a crush. I was the uncoolest human being.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
I had no chill's.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
Stabilitating, like you just have no control of yourself, I reckon.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
I still remember driving home with one of my friends
in a taxi after like a Saturday night on Courtney
Place in Wellington and seeing my crush, making the taxi
stop to let me out so that I could run
down the street to say hi to my Crushe just
I just never ever knew how to play it cool.

Speaker 1 (28:51):
Ever, So just you really painted the picture.

Speaker 2 (28:57):
But luckily you and I are heavily no look at
as life, which is great because it means we can
live vicariously to our friends.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
I love, I love a single friend and hearing their
dating stories it's the best.

Speaker 2 (29:11):
So my best friend lives in Toronto and works over there,
and we were talking this week, catching up on life
and everything.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
How is she?

Speaker 2 (29:20):
And she said I've got a crush And I said,
tell me more. I love the sound of this and
she said, she said, Maddie, you won't believe what happened.
She said, we've been these two have been working together, right,
and my friend was keen to try and take it
to the next level. So she thought, how can I

(29:41):
impress this person? And she knew that they were really
into football, like soccer, right, And there was a game
coming up in Toronto.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
As your friend as your friend into football.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
Not in the slightest not, but I will say what
she is. She's happy to jump on a bandwagon, aren't
we all? So she said she happened to throw another
friend get off the tickets to go and see this
football game. So she said, perfect, I can get these tickets.
I don't even have to pay for them, and I
can invite this person along and then hopefully something happens

(30:14):
and you know when bam, think you man kind of thing. Yeah,
day of so she invited She invited them along to
watch the football with them. Day of the game, her
friend text her and said, I'm so sorry I can't
get those tickets anymore. And she went, oh my god,
I've already invited them along to come and watch my crush.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
What am I going to do?

Speaker 5 (30:34):
Well?

Speaker 1 (30:35):
And she wants to be in preserved, so it's not
like she's going to be like, hey, sorry, the tickets
have fallen through.

Speaker 2 (30:38):
Except I do think that's actually what most people will
have done would have done. I think that's what I
would have done in that situation, being like, hey, I'm
so sorry the tickets have fallen through, but do you
want to grab a beer or do you do you
want to do something? She'll go for a walk, whatever
it might be, like, let's save of the day. But
we are just isn't going to be at the football unfortunately, No, no, no,

(30:59):
not my friend. She went online went to see how
whether she could get tickets to this very popular game,
mind you, that was relatively sold out, but there was
some tickets available, but they were much very expensive. They
cost her eight hundred dollars for the ticket.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Eight one hundred dollars dollars.

Speaker 2 (31:24):
She sold it to me by saying, look, it was
like part of a package, and so we got these
free merch hats.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
I mean free merch heads.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
Who are you talking about? Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (31:38):
It was just one of those wild things where I went, man,
the things you do for a crush, right, the things
you do to impressure, crush and press a crush and
get a first date?

Speaker 1 (31:49):
Has the date actually happened yet?

Speaker 2 (31:51):
The date they did go to the football, but it
wasn't technically a date because she never framed it that way, right, right,
But they did go to the ball and guess what
dates next week?

Speaker 1 (32:04):
Okay, so it was worth that Hondi bus.

Speaker 3 (32:06):
It works, It works.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
All right, Oh one hundred the hats. Let's open up
the phones. Half far did you go for the first date?

Speaker 3 (32:13):
Many and the podcast.

Speaker 1 (32:18):
We want to know how far are you went to
get a first date? How hard did you go to
woo your lover?

Speaker 3 (32:24):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (32:24):
My best friend who lives in Canada spent eight hundred
dollars buying tickets to a football game that she didn't
even really care for, just to impress the crush.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
But it worked.

Speaker 1 (32:34):
Hey she got and she got an amazing hat too.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
Hair merch, she got some merch.

Speaker 1 (32:41):
Justin's joining us on hundred the hats. What did you
do to get the date?

Speaker 8 (32:45):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (32:45):
So I was always in that friend zone for many
years and just could never take that next step. And
about a week out before our school ball, I didn't
have a date and her boyfriend dumped her, and so
she was basically not going to go. She was basically
really broken hearted. So I knew her brother, So I

(33:06):
basically went out and paid for a dress and sent
it with an anonymous mode of a dozen roses, and
then showed up with a limo on the night, dressed
in a full tuxt and took her on the to
the ball.

Speaker 1 (33:16):
So, my god, it that could go one of two ways?
How did it go down?

Speaker 9 (33:23):
By the way, we dated for over a year after that.

Speaker 2 (33:26):
Oh God, Justin, you're one of Life's good You're the
life good one.

Speaker 3 (33:31):
I love that.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
Hey, Justin, we're going to help you out a little prize.

Speaker 9 (33:35):
All right, awesome things so much guys.

Speaker 1 (33:38):
No ways, have a great weekend, all right, let's go
to page one. Hype page, Hi, what do you do?

Speaker 4 (33:46):
The story is actually on my partner. Okay, who is
who is actually my fiance?

Speaker 5 (33:53):
Now?

Speaker 3 (33:54):
Congratulations, congrats.

Speaker 7 (33:58):
So we met in high school. He used to be
a heavy skateboarder. So he would plant a stone in
the middle of town where I used to walk, and
so he would purposely hit it each time.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
So that what he would come off the skate so
he would fall off the skateboard.

Speaker 7 (34:24):
He'd fall off.

Speaker 4 (34:25):
Because I every time I knew he was going to
be in town, I used to carry rainbow plasters for
him of him, and eventually our romance grew from it,
and so we've been together for quite a while.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
This has ended up being so much more pure and wholesome.

Speaker 2 (34:51):
Come off of skateboard just to impress page and then
she'd come to the rescue with some rainbow plasters.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
Thanks so much for your col pay. We're gona holk
you up with the prize as well.

Speaker 3 (35:01):
I love this one page.

Speaker 2 (35:02):
Someone takes him four for eight s even I tried
reading the entire Bible to impress the religious boy. I'm
the daughter of an atheist is a commitment.

Speaker 3 (35:13):
It's a long book. Many the podcast.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
Hey, there's something that we like doing in our household,
and that is getting a little tub of ice cream.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Toe later, or a cheeky small boutique one that makes
you feel like you're not eating as much, but really
you just eat it in one sitting.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
Yeah, it depends. We are very guilty of the in
one sitting boutique ones. Yeah, cheap time, a little duck Island.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Yeah, and you go half age and then you're like,
oh my god, because you think, oh no, this will
be this will be lease, this will be cheeky and cute. No,
you end up tucking into the whole top.

Speaker 2 (35:55):
Okay, Can I be perfectly honest with you? From time
to time, Ryan and I have bought our own tub
in one sitting in one sitting peage.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
What was it a day after a big night or
was that just a cheeky Monday.

Speaker 2 (36:10):
It might have even just been a cheeky mane. Now
I think there was a reason for it, but I'll
mess up. We've been guilty of it to the best
of us totally. But we were watching a TV show
on Netflix the other day and they had in the
show they were eating neapolitan ice cream.

Speaker 1 (36:27):
That is probably the most nineties brand of ice cream.

Speaker 3 (36:31):
So nice going to put it out there.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Yeah, that was a big staple in the McLean household
growing up. When I was a kid, we would always
have Neapolitan.

Speaker 3 (36:39):
I can't if.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
We had it at home. We didn't always have like
naughty treats, but I do remember I think my cousins
often had Neapolitan. I'd have it there at my cousin's house.

Speaker 2 (36:48):
We I definitely remember reading it, but I couldn't tell
you the last time I had it. But in the
show anyway, they were having a tub of Neapolitan or
they were reminiscing about Neapolitan, and at the same time,
these two peas people, it was almost almost like a
cute little that was starting up a relationship in it.
So at the same time they said, yeah, and no
one ever ate the strawberry, and I went.

Speaker 3 (37:10):
Oh, my god, that's so true.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
I would always dig around the strawberry like the chocolate,
the vanilla.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
That's true.

Speaker 3 (37:16):
Yes, And then Ryan went what he was like, no, no, no, no, no,
strawberry is the best flavor. You'd eat the strawberry first.

Speaker 2 (37:25):
And then we started talking about what order at Winton,
What was the order of Neapolitan. I just got to
be vanilla first. I said, vanilla, chocolate, then strawberry. Ryan
said strawberry, vanilla, then chocolate, and I thought, you're so wrong.
But he was adamant that he was like he was
high and mighty. He felt like he was very right.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
What region did he grow up? I wonder if it's
like a regional.

Speaker 3 (37:48):
Thing, Nelson. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (37:53):
I was just trying to find something link. Now I
forget that I would be I'd be also vanilla chocolate, strawberry. Surely,
surely there is the the ultimate.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
When it comes to the order, producer Serra is nodding
her head as well, are you in agreeance?

Speaker 3 (38:05):
Vanilla chocolate, strawberry chocolate first?

Speaker 1 (38:07):
Always? Oh okay, but you skip the strawberry through it
straight in the bin and.

Speaker 3 (38:12):
The band don't even worry about I don't even try it. Okay,
here's what I'd love to.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
Do a little impromptu poll. Text us now four for
eight seven? What order does it go in?

Speaker 1 (38:21):
Okay? All right, the definite out of strawberry vanilla chocolate.

Speaker 2 (38:26):
Yeah, what's the order and ranking one, two and three?
We want to know, and we'll tell you the answers very.

Speaker 1 (38:33):
Shortly hitting the hard topics. Maddy and PJ.

Speaker 3 (38:40):
Madi and PJ. The podcast.

Speaker 1 (38:43):
Text common and hut.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
So we were talking about Neapolitan ice cream, you know,
those iconic tubs that very much part of my childhood,
I will admit, not part of my adulthood. I wouldn't
have med Neapolitans Definitely.

Speaker 1 (38:59):
When I eat it now, it's more of a novelty,
isn't it.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
Yeah, But when I think back to my childhood, I
do remember the order in which I loved the flavors.
It meant vanilla, chocolate, strawberry. But my husband Ryan last
night said no, no, no, no, no, Strawberry's gotta be at
the top. And I thought, surely, no one's putting strawberry
at the top of their list.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
What was irang?

Speaker 1 (39:19):
Okay, we've had so many texts come through. Now, can
I just clarify my statement I said before I said yes,
I agreed with you, Mattia, I said, yeah, vanilla chocolate, strawberry.
But actually it's the song started playing, and this was
before I saw all the text. I'm not being a
bandwagon person here, but I remember, actually strawberry had a
lot more to offer than chocolate. Chocolate was so bland,
chocolate did not bring much to the party. So I

(39:40):
would go vanilla strawberry chocolate. That's my order.

Speaker 2 (39:44):
Okay, that's fine. What I will say is, if we
go by the text machine, both of us are wrong.
Eighty percent of the text are saying the exact same thing,
strawberry vanilla chocolate. A lot of people were saying chocolate
in the bin, chocolate to the of chocolate have never eaten.

Speaker 1 (40:02):
I agree with that, one hundred percent agree with that. Yeah,
that's literally it's so interesting.

Speaker 2 (40:08):
We asked, we asked for the definitive, definitive answer. I
think we've got it. According to this poll, it's it's
strawberry vanilla than chocolate. That's the list.

Speaker 1 (40:17):
Wow, Prodessa, Sarah, is it not happy? Okay, Well, keep
your texts coming through four for eight seven if you
think that is the superior order. Love to know chocolate,
vanilla strawberry one two three. What do you reckon the podcast?

Speaker 3 (40:33):
That's
