The Hits Drive with medi and PJ. Thanks to chimis
Wee House, the Real House of Fragrances and hey everyone,
all bubble of my throat and welcome to the podcast. Okay,
I've looked up some of the beasts. Would you rather questions?
Are we right to get into it?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Hit me?
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Would you rather find true love today or when the
lottery next year?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Imagine you're a single.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Uh, true love? True love today? I'm a romantic at heart.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Would you rather be in jail for five years or
be in a coma for a decade?
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Oh, that's good. Five years in jail you'd have good
stories to tell at least.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Yeah, you would five years. It's a lot, Ryan, go on,
please don't continue.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
He just like I because I always thought I would.
I would be terrible in jail, like I would just be.
I'd struggle so much. And He's like, no, you'd be
very popular.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Or the guys would like you.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
I wish I hadn't seen that.
Speaker 6 (01:17):
Run a long.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
I know no filter on this podcast.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
We've learned it does get I've been to Have you
ever been to a jail like a prison?
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I've been a couple of times, a couple of times.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
To do like interviews for Tale.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Yep, yep, And one of the times I got given
like a tour. It was one of the It was
a prison in Southwark and I got given a tour.
It was quite fascinating to me because part of me like,
they've at least in this in the section of the
prison that I was in, and at this specific prison
I was it. I'm sure not every prison is the same,
(01:55):
but I they had like TVs and stuff in their cells.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Well I have heard that.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I mean they were, Yeah, there are some pretty good
facilities in some parts, Like I know it's all like that.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
But and there was still it was still a prison
cell with a door locked at the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
But also part of me was like, man, could just
chill out in here for me?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
You just said, what the hell would you do in
an off grid cabin and a beautiful location, how are
you going to go?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
And four walls?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
That is true, that is true, but anyway, it was
it was quite fascinating to walk around and see the
prison and like meet some of the prisoners and stuff. Right,
and then least literally a week later, they a bunch
of the prisoners rioted and they lipped part of the
prison on fire, and it would you make the ones
that write it, well, I mean hard to know feasibly,
(02:44):
I'm not sure. But I had to then go back,
and so I went for work and I was reporting
on this. It was actually a really lovely story. They
had a men's choir at the prison, and the men's
choiet had released a CD that they were selling for charity.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
They were raising for cherry.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
So it was a really beautiful story. Were in the
middle of these prisons. It was really lovely, really fascinating.
And then literally a week later, a bunch of them
from the same prison rioted and caught it on fine.
So I was back then literally the next week reporting
on this massive ride.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
At the prison.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Did you get to sit down and talk to them
about this story?
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Yes, yeah, it was more about the it was more
about the CD. They were very specific, like the people
from corrections were very specific, saying, you know, don't dove
too much, don't doubt too much. And we weren't allow
we weren't allowed to identify them at all, like you
couldn't show their faces or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
So and would you say, like a name. Would you
change a name? Would you be like and Joey, I'm
with you.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, I just think so it was pre recorded, so
it wasn't live. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
But what's fascinating is in America, Like if you ever
watched news like docos and stuff from America, the excess
they get to prisons and prisoners. I mean they can
show everything they get. They get extee the taped phone
conversations and stuff. You know, if you're even watching like
a true crime doc o. Yeah, we didn't stuff in
New Zealand and fear enough.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
They don't get my bilephone excess, do they Nah?
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Although I'm sure some of them, Yeah they do. I'm
sure they smuggled. Some of them smuggled. I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Okay, I'm gonna go back to a few more. Would
you write, yeah, sorry I took little detail it No,
that's interesting.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Good detour.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Would you rather be eleven feet tall or nine inches tall?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (04:40):
This is a short eleven feet is.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Sorry?
Speaker 3 (04:48):
How long is a foot long? And inches? How many?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Twelve? Twelve?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yeah? Right, so you're smaller than a subway?
Speaker 7 (04:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Is it right?
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Yeah, but like I feel like it would be easier.
Life would be easier small than it would be.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Seeing my dad always see good things come in small packages.
I'd definitely go nine in.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Could just like fit you in your pocket and walk
you around.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Oh my god, be so cute. You just get three
rides everywhere.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
You would literally be polypocket.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Yeah, I'm definitely nine inches. Okay, one more?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Oh would you rather communicate only an emoji or never
be able to text at all?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Ever?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Again?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I feel like never be able to text again?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I just really would you be frustrated?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
I think it would just be annoyed. I'd like going,
how do I say?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Oh, God, don't you think you'd refine it after time?
If that's all you've got to work with the person
you're emojiing, that's start you'd start getting rhyth American in phenis.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I'm useless teaching people back anyway, So.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
You're God, you're good.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
But then you'll go off and I'm like, where is
the But then I do that too. I'll be back
and forth and back and forth. I just disappear.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Produced The seer sometimes is like literally things have died
because I just haven't replied.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
To a textor.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Okay, do we want one more?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
If you can find a good one. Okay, on now though,
now that I've there.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Oh, that's that's hard, Okay. Would you rather.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Spend a week in the forest or a night in
a real haunted house?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Oh, like in the forest under the stars kind of thing?
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Yeah, but you obviously like it's just you in the forest.
You're not in a cute little cabin.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
No.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I think the night in the haunted house, would you?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, yeah, it would be.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
It's actually a hard one.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
But like a real haunted house where there's like cocked
paper that could kill you. Suppose killed you get killed
in the forest anyway.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
But God can't kill you, can they?
Speaker 4 (07:02):
But they could scar Yeah, I think the anticipation of
like a week in the woods would be I'd rather
just get it, like rip the band aid off.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Oh man, I'm feeling the pressure and finishing one. Do
you just finished on that one?

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Anyone want to join please?
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Coming up in the show, there is a lot Paul Henry.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
We had a great chat with him talking his history
with Maddie, which was very cooye.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
It's such lovely things to say about you.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Also the darndest things that kids say, and I had
a question straight out of the hairdresser. All of that
and more coming up. Enjoy Maddy and the podcast. Look
I'm gonna be honest. Yesterday afternoon on our Instagram page,
The Hits Drive, we posted some beautiful, picture perfect images
(08:46):
of how we portrayed our weekends and Maddie had a
great one of him hiking. I know more on that
coming up later in the show, and there was a
photo of me, my husband, and my near two year
old Charlie just going.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
On the farm.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Gorgeous.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
We're all smiles. Can I tell you? Social media is
a lie.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
While we did have a lovely moment together yesterday afternoon,
the weekend was filled.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
With a lot of stress.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Yeah, that was rare.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
That was a very very small part of what was
actually quite a stressful weekend for you.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
It did restore the equilibrium.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
We had a great family time together yes that day afternoon.
But let me talk you through the days leading up
to this, so.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I'll give a little peek behind the curtain.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
We were meant to post those photos on Saturday, and
we got a message in our group chat from PJ going, guys,
I can't.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I got nothing, guys, I cannot. So anyway, let me
talk me through Friday. My husband is playing a rugby
game and I was en route to go support him,
and I'm always late, right because getting Charlie in the
car at the moment is pretty challenging. Anyway, We're on
(10:00):
our way, the game has started and I receive a
phone call from him and I'm like, oh no, this
is not a good thing. Why is PJ calling me?
They started playing like twenty thirty minutes ago, as they said,
butt dial log, what's going on? I pack it up
and I go, what's happening in U okay? And he goes,
I'm on my way to A and E.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Oh gosh.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Now my biggest fear is him getting concussions, because this
is so much about hid knocks. At the moment, the
moment he told me he didn't ever hid knock, I
was happy he'd done his ankle, which wasn't great, and
he was hitting straight for A and E. And basically
the rest of the weekend he was on crutches and
just couldn't do anything. And do you know what, I
realized he does a lot around the house.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
You know we talk about who does the choice on
the chores?
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Oh god, that's right, he does that. Yeah, and now
I've got to do them.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
So then that was Friday night.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Now, I remember last week I talked about how we
had to get a puppy to Hamilton. So we decided
to meet halfway. I had to go and drop this
gorgeous little puppy of ours off, a little lab puppy,
and we decided to meet in two Dongey, which is
about three and a half hours, ended up being a
seven hour round trip. My head cold decided to come
(11:14):
into full force. And because usually I love a drive
and that's great, but I was like, oh my god,
can I even stay awake? Like actually, I was like,
this is it.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
The other question is because you said I might have
to drive both a puppy and my toddler, my nearly
two year old toddler in the car at the same time.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
He stayed at home.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Cool smart.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Anyway, as I'm arriving home, I realized the car starts
making noises and I was like, every time I.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Break it's like, I was like, are you serious?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I was with so much money they tell you don't
go to European cars, this little this little thing has
been eating at my bank account. So it turns out
I've done the brake pads, gotta go spind like short
of a grand on there.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
And think, are you thinking my car's about to break down?
I've got a husband who's on crutches, done his ankle,
with a two year old. He doesn't want to get
in the car at the beast of times. How am
I going to get caught? How am I going to
get saved?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
But wait, there's more. Oh no, I get home and
I sipped. I just clogged up.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
And it turns out that we had so much fat
go down the drain it closed up house sank, so.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
We couldn't use the toilet. We couldn't use the sank.
Every time you have to go to the bathroom, you
need to drive down to the farm. I kid you not.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
This is what I have arrived home too many. This
is what I was a bit street start come the weekend.
I wanted it to be a beautiful time to celebrate
family and and food and loved ones. But you know what,
my matariki was slowly stressed down. Now onwards and upwards.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Now I know why the photo wasn't posted until late
yesterday afternoon.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Heavy.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I love the universe.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
The universe usually huns my back, but I think it's
just playing trucks with me.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
It's trolling me a little bit.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
But it's all right, AM's it up. We're live, we're healthy,
and we're in for a brand new.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Mark Maddy and PJ.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Mady and PJ the podcast that's talking matai GhIE weekends,
and we heard all about yours page Boy, there's a
lot that went on over your weekend.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
It was we're here, we're alive, we're safe, and.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
We're well well well.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
The key part of mine, as I mentioned on the
show last week, was that my part, my husband Ryan
and I we're heading down to the Corimandel from Auckland
to go on all the pinnacles, which is this beautiful,
gorgeous walking coramdal that I've been wanting to do for
a really long time.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Is it like one of the top walks around the country.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
It's pretty, it's a it's a great little it's it
could either be a day walk or you can stay overnight,
and there's there is a hut close to the top
that you can stay at as well. We decided we're
just going to do it in one day, and friends
of our said, we would love to.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Can we bring the kids.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
I've got three kids between the ages of thirteen and seven,
So my first thought was these kids are I adore
them where we are Uncle Maddie and Uncle Ryan to
them and they are the best kids ever. But I
did think this is big, like because I was trying
to think back to my childhood going God, was a
seven year old.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Would I have been able to do that walk.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I've been dragged along to do long walks. Seemed like
the worst thing at the time, right, You just like
try and stop as much as possible, or snacks. I'd
be bribed by snacks.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
So that's what we did. We loaded up with snacks
because I was worried. You know, you know me, I'm
a power walker at the best of times, and I
didn't want anyone to slow them down.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I didn't want.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Anyone, you know, break in your stride.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Cut me down in my prime.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Well it turns out I had nothing to worry.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Why did they beat you?
Speaker 4 (14:54):
These kids were so fast and so fit that right
at the end of the pinnacles, if anyone's e done it,
you get to the top by lesterally climbing these ladders
on like built into the rocks.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
It's really perilesus. It's quite perileoss And a little bit.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
I saw that you posted it was like stunning.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
It's a huge, big thing to get up there.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
So these kids were their limber limbs, could just climb
and clown these over these rocks and stuff, and it
was amazing.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
The kids were incredible.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
There was a lot of bribing with snacks, and they
wanted Popeye's chicken.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
At the end of the day, when we.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Got any piggybacks, did you have to do any piggybacks?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Get no piggybacks? They went the whole way.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
I was so impressed. But afterwards, because we had driven
a couple of them in our car and after the trip,
like we all got back home and my friend, the
dad messaged me and said, you will not believe what
one of the kids just said. One of the kids
just told me that he thinks he's homophobic. And I went,
(15:57):
excuse me. I said, look, I know we played a
lot of like Madonna and Kylie in the car, but
we're not that. Come on, excuse me homophobic. And then
he said yeah, and the kid then went on to say,
you know, I think I'm really scared of small spaces,
and dad win.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Oh Lovestra phoback Claus.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
And it was just one of those brilliant, brilliant moments
where you where you go. Man, kids they really try,
bless them, they try, really truly, but they do say
the darnedest things.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Thank God that was said, you know, to family and
I'm not out and the belt.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
At school we picked to school. I'm really homophone.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Back, I hung out with Many and Ryan and I'm
so homophone.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
So anyway, okay, lead's open up the phones.

the weekend with some friends of ours and their kids,

weekends said, I think I'm homophobic, and he meant to
say claustrophobe.
Speaker 3 (17:24):

I was talking to my partner about this one man.
He's a lovely man, but he's got prostate cancer at
the moment. So I was talking to him and everything.
I thought I'd put my five year old daughter to
bed and a sleep, and so the next morning she
gets up and she's like Oh, Mom, I don't want
(20:25):
to go to school. And I said why, what's the matter?
She said, I've got posture cancer. Oh oh okay, Wow,
that was a good one to explain.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Oh yeah, I love that she. I love that she
was trying to get out of creator.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
At least she stopped it and it's tracks, so like,
at least she stopped it in its tracks before she
said that to we teach her at school.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Right, that would not be great.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Stayed in the confines of the house until you decided
to share it on national radio.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Okay, I think I've got a favorite. It's got to
go to Tanya. Tanya from Auckland. Hello, Hello, you're our
favorite caller and you are in the draw.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
Sy Pink Live in La Oh awesome, Thank you so much.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
You're welcome.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
Maddy and PJ. Maddi and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
That season one of Traitors graced our screens last year
and it took the country by storm. So many people
fell in love with this show and we're stoked to
be joined by the host who is back for season two,
Paul Henry. It is an absolute honor to have you
on the show this afternoon.
Speaker 9 (21:35):
Good afternoon, Good afternoon, PJ. It's an honor to be
on the show and here like Maddie and you, and
I mean, how good is it?
Speaker 2 (21:42):
How good is it? How great is it?
Speaker 9 (21:44):
And the thing is I said to you when I
came in, Maddie. You know, radio it's very special, isn't it.
And a lot of people probably think, oh, why would
you go from TV to radio? Radio is very very special.
That's sort of one on one broadcasting.
Speaker 10 (21:58):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
That's where you got your start, right.
Speaker 9 (22:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, It's always been my favorite platform.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Do you miss that? No, you're very nice here. You're
very lazy these days.
Speaker 9 (22:11):
I well it, No, yes, I am.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
No.
Speaker 9 (22:15):
I just don't want to do it anymore. I don't
work anymore. But every now and then something comes along.
But I basically don't you know, I don't want to
be tied down. I always say I miss being able
to do it, but I would hate to bepecially to
do it, and to do it properly. You have to
put yourself in the position where you have to do it,
(22:37):
like they're not going to give you a great job.
If you just want to do it on the occasion,
you're going to wander in.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
So yeah, what about like podcasting and stuff? I could
see you if you can.
Speaker 9 (22:48):
Who doesn't have a bloody podcast? Do you know anyone
that doesn't have a podcast? Okay, here's another question. Name
me someone that's made a fortune out of podcast No,
that's cheating, that's cheat is coming. You're planning on a
bigger population.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
She's just saying that because the bosses might be listening.
Speaker 9 (23:08):
Because they all want you to do podcasts desperately. Yeah,
is there a platform that PJ and Mattie aren't on?
We look, we found a magazine the other day they
could write four break heyl.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I want to talk to you because you play a
very significant role in dear Meddi's career. You actually the
one who decided to change his name from Matt to Matta.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Do you remember that.
Speaker 9 (23:30):
It could have been a mistake on my part at
the time, but I always doubled down on mistakes.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Well, it was my second day on air on Breakfast,
and you said to me, Peppa and I have talked,
and we don't think you look like a matt We
think you look like a Medie. And here I am.
Almost seventeen years later, we still called Meddi.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
It worked hasn't it.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
He's so much more of a media, isn't he.
Speaker 9 (23:53):
He's so much more of a meddie. And look at him, Matt.
I was right then, right now, And the answer is not.
I don't remember saying it, but that is exactly the
sort of thing I would have said.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Absolutely, And I.
Speaker 9 (24:06):
Also remember saying and I wasn't wrong because I said
it for comic effect. We'll never see him again, and
I said it when I knew we would see a
lot on the podcast.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
You're a sweet man to me Ba at the end,
and you're a sweet man now.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
I know you don't like many people thinking.
Speaker 9 (24:23):
You're very talented, and I don't like people thinking it.
We won't talk about it anymore, but you've got it, see,
because here's the thing, and you can see this in
some people. Some people are just good at their jobs, right.
Other people have personality. Now, if you can get someone
with personality who's also good at their job, oh god,
you're on to a winner.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
What do you remember of those of those days.
Speaker 9 (24:44):
Getting up at naught o'clock having fun? I mean, I
remember it being fun. But oh, it's taxing, isn't it.
People don't want to hear that you know, but it's oh, yeah,
well we don't do it. Then if you don't like it, no,
that's why I stop.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Something Paul does like is Traders, the TV show, and
it is back for season two.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
We're going to talk more on that, the podcast that
joined by Paul Henry.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
It is great to have you here and now you
are diving back into the world of media.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
I know reluctantly.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
But obviously Traders season one was incredibly successful. They came
back for season two. You got the call up and
you couldn't say no.
Speaker 9 (25:25):
No, I couldn't. I would because it sort of it
did fit into a very tight band of things that
I said I would be prepared to consider. I was
never going to do daily, weekly, monthly television because that
just ties you down, or radio or anything like that.
But if I always said, if the right project comes along,
how could you not? How could you not do Traders?
If you if you're offered it, you know, it's such.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
It does make your personality well.
Speaker 9 (25:50):
And it is such a good format. And we've doubled
down on the second the second series, so we've just
spent a bit more money and we fine tuned things
and you.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Will have the elevator pitch down pat because I was
trying to explain it to someone today because I love
the show, but I did a terrible job of explaining it.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
How do you describe it?
Speaker 9 (26:09):
The trouble with it When you start explaining it, it
sounds really complicated.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
It's not at all.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
So what's your best way of describing it to anyone
who hasn't seen the show?
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Okay, in a really quick, easy way.
Speaker 9 (26:20):
We grab twenty two people who you don't know and
who don't know each other, and torture them for two
weeks on the prospect that they may walk away with
one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Brilliant.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Yeah, So there's traders and there's faithfuls. The traders are
trying to kill the faithfuls. The faithfuls are trying to
figure out who the traders are.
Speaker 9 (26:39):
At the end of the game. The traders will win
all the money if they're there at the end of
the game, So the faithfuls have got to try and
get rid of all the traders, if just one, because
I just decide when the game ends, and that might
be when there's five six people left, and those five
or six pe people know that they'll get an even
(27:01):
share of however much money it is, unless there's a
trader left.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
What does it say about me that whenever I watch
the show, I desperately root for the traders. I really
want to traded it with.
Speaker 9 (27:11):
I don't know what that says about you. It's hard
to traitors, maybe devious, But you know, the great thing
about having non celebrities, I mean nobody these contestants this year,
twenty two of them. They don't know each other, and
no one in the audience knows them except their family.
And I've got a feeling with some of them. Even
their families don't know them that well. The great thing
about that is everyone, including the audience, is getting to
(27:33):
know each each of them at the same time, so
they're not second guessing themselves. And you are going to
decide who you like, who you're going to be rooting for,
you know, and that'll probably change, you know how with
people it changes and you see someone you really like
them and there's someone you hate, and then you realize
after a little while, I can see why they might
be like that.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Yeah. So that's interesting obviously.
Speaker 9 (27:57):
For traders, because I know some of the traders in
some of the formats that have not been nice.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I know, I don't know what it is.
Speaker 9 (28:05):
I don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Maybe it's an underdog situation. It could be because I've
really got the work cut out.
Speaker 9 (28:09):
But yes, the irony is the traders have much more
power in the game than the faithful. I'd be a
terrible Yes, you would. You'd be a terrible trader. You would,
because I know you. You would be.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Absolutely everything on my face. You would give it away.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
I'd be bad as well. I don't think I could
do it.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
We cannot wait to watch season two. It's so good,
such a good shot. Yeah, and we really have you know,
it's world class. We've really pushed the boat out and
going to Timuru was a great idea we found this.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
It's filming in Canterbury this time, isn't it.
Speaker 9 (28:40):
Yeah, and Canterbury particularly in the winter at the time
that we were there, the beginning of winter. You know,
the countryside has as many lives as the program.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
You just look at it, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Did you see the infamous black panther there? Always says
rear sightings, and he was at my door every morning. Paul,
thanks so much for joining us. Today.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Trader Season two is back on Tally tonight going get
a Month's.
Speaker 7 (29:09):
Mady and PJ Many and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
That Mattie, You're nearly ten years older than me, but
I swear your lifestyle keeps me young.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
Excuse me, I am not nearly teens older than you.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
You got me.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
It's a solid what four or five? Maybe?
Speaker 1 (29:29):
See you definitely bring the youth to the party on
the show.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
You've got a kid, and you live in the middle
of the of nowhere. You don't have a lot of
opportunities to go about partying.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
He excuse me. Country people know how to party. It's
just you know.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Yes, I do have a child, and I've been living
quite modestly lately, but I can party when I need to.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Oh, I know you can. Oh, I know you can.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
But yes, I went out on Friday night, and remember
last week I told you it was Egyptian themed, and
I was so worried about what that meant to weir.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
I was terrified.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
That's right, because on one hand, you didn't want to
look to a cold and not dress up, but then
you didn't want to go to the other end of
the spictrum and be way too jazzed for the evening.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
So we asked around and a few people said, no, no, no,
it's not it's not that kind of it's themed from
the event perspective.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
It's not themed from you don't need to dress up
in Egyptian theme, right.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
But it was a very cool party and I'm not cool.
I'm really not And so I spent all days stressing
about what I was going to wear, and I finally
landed on this outfit and I tried it on.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
I was like, I like it. It's cool.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Because we looked at some of the costumes because we
didn't want to go down the route of cultural appropriations,
so we were like, what if we get like a
cool like there was a stick that you could have
and then a pyramid on the head.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
I left all of that behind and I just went
from what was in my wardrobe.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
What can I put together?
Speaker 4 (30:47):
That was cool because that was what my friends were saying,
that's all we're doing. So I put together this outfit
in a bunch of people came around to our house
for some drinks beforehand, and one of my friends walked in,
who's been to a lot of these events, and he
just looked literally looked me up and down and went, no,
and I was much too much from the point of
(31:10):
he said, you're gonna cook like you're gonna heat. So
he said, and do you have like a three piece suit? No,
I just had long pants and a long top on.
And he said, honestly, it gets so hot in there,
so he said, and you go. So then I was
stressing and I had to go and change and I
had to put on like a short sleeve shirt and shorts,
and I'm glad I did because it was very hot
in the in the event, so I was fine.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
It was really like a summer pool party kind of
you're again.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Except the bad thing was you had to do the
mad dash from the from the taxi into the event
and very freezing walkand weather.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
But then I got in and thank god page I didn't.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
I didn't go costume heavy because literally there was one
guy dressed head to toe in like full Egyptian.
Speaker 7 (31:53):
Fee and.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Made him feel less a lot or.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
I could have been that guy, and no way I
was being that guy the podcast.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Sorry, it just seem my microphone wasn't on, so I
was panicking. But did you hear me? You heard the
whole Yeah, gotta love technology thing about you.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
And me, and I'm just exactly the same as you
can read everything on our face.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
There's no chill to us.
Speaker 7 (32:22):
What I.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Wish I was bitter, like I had a better poker face,
but I don't.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
So on the weekend, I had planned for a long
time to cut my hair and get.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
The colored up a bit.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
We are going on a week's holiday. We're going on
a honeymoon next week.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
That's so exciting.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
You were tossing up between like a copper, like a
brassy copper.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
When I had my Hot Girls summer era, when I
was like twenty seven, I went copper. Uh huh. So
I thought, oh, maybe we'll do that again. But actually
it's quite a lot of Edmunds.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
You were talking full blonde, but you haven't gone full blonde.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Well, I yeah, no, I think well I did request
full blonde, but then we realized actually I'm a low Edmond,
low maintenance kind of girl, and that was going to
grow out real quick. So I've just gone Belliard on naturally. Well, anyway,
you know when you're at the hair dresses and you're
getting here done and you're getting color, and it can
take quite sometime.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
How long are we talking?
Speaker 3 (33:23):
So I thought I was gonna take.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
About three hours, and it probably was pushing for and
a half.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
That's a really long time by the.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Time I got out now, because I had a lot
of time to kill and it was actually it's like
a cute little container where I get my head done.
So it's just like a nice intimate space me and her.
You know, she's got tunes playing. But there is another
thing I did during that appointment, and it didn't dawn
on me until I had got on my current left
(33:53):
where I thought, Oh, was that kind of.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Road for me to do?
Speaker 7 (33:57):
That? Is?
Speaker 3 (33:58):
This?
Speaker 4 (33:59):
Is this one of these weird because I've noticed you
do this. You don't you like to fill you like
to fill silences I do. It was just a case
of you filling the silence.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
No, I'm gonna paint the picture for you. So I'm
sitting there when all of a sudden, oh, maybe I'll
do this, and I FaceTime my mom, and I FaceTime BJ,
my husband, and then I FaceTime Mom again. Hey, Mom,
I just want to see how's Charlie going. Charlie, You're good, okay, cool?
All right, Well, I shouldn't be much Hey, bage.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
How are you getting on? All right? Cool? All yeah,
I'll come and see you Rugby later on. Okay, cool?
See you bye bye? Hey Mom? Literally like back, and.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
We've had this conversation because you do this to us
all the time. Will be in cars, I've been in
cads with you. I've been at airports with you. There
is no sacred space where you will not pick up
face time and video caller, one of your loves, she's
(35:05):
calling out and then I was like high and.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
And she's like, oh hi, Matty, is that like, Am
I really too liberal? Do you think with the face time?
Because I thought, well, maybe this is nicer for her
than me just scrolling on my phone because all customers
do that. You know, all clients are sitting there scrolling,
and I think that's potentially ruder. They're actually catching up
(35:27):
with family and friends.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
What I will say is that the thing about a
face time is you are not only let in on
the phone conversation that the person that's made the phone
is heaving. You're also lit on and on the other side,
so you have no you have no escape from listening
into this entire conversation. Yeah, it's dangerous.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
It is enter here like BJ will pack up with
he love and pick up on the shaft. I know
he didn't do that, and I mind if I should have, Like,
if I think about it, I should have given you
the heads up just saying I'm going to call, whereas
I just do it out of the blue. I would
love to know, though, I'll wait hundred of hats to
get a definitive weigh in on this. Are you a
(36:15):
hairdresser and do you find it really rude with your
clients FaceTime? Well maybe you're in another industry adjacent to
that and your clients do that?
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Is it rod or do you understand?
Speaker 1 (36:27):
I wait hundred the hats you context Wolf for eight seven,
We've got some help pizza archers to get to give away,
get in touch. I want to know was I offensive
or was it totally normal?
Speaker 7 (36:38):
Many in the podcast.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
That's just saying I was at the hairdresser over the weekend.
It was lovely to finally get the hair done, put
a bit of color in it. Four and a half
hours later, I'm out. But I did in that time
make a few FaceTime calls.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
How many are we talking a couple?
Speaker 4 (36:59):
Like?
Speaker 3 (36:59):
So much so? The hedresser really felt like she got
to know people. She was like, is he really like this?
Is he playing up there farming character? I'm like, no, no, no,
he's really like that.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
But it does beg the question is this a rude
practice to do whilst yet the he dresser or a
similar environment the hets.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
Genny from Janaden is called through.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Hi, Genny, Hi guys, Hello, very well, what are your
thoughts on this?
Speaker 11 (37:30):
Well, I'm a hero dresser myself, and I actually don't
mind it. And it's quite funny because I get clients,
you know, kids bring up and stuff, and they'll put
them on answering ship, you know, on speaker phone, and
they'll go, I'm with Jenny, just mind when you.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
Were but better at the Yeah, Ginny, do you get
a lot of good goss as well? Oh?
Speaker 11 (37:55):
I tell you it's so good and you actually get
to know some of their family.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Yeah, like for better, awful, worse, Ginny.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Yeah, exactly, great to know. Gdy. Thank you so much
for calling through.
Speaker 11 (38:09):
Not a problem.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
All right, let's get a neck. Oh wait, one hundred
of hats you on the way in? Is it rose
to FaceTime during an.
Speaker 10 (38:16):
Appointment from a person who sort of sits there next
to the person that does the FaceTime going. I'm gonna
have to say, it's rude, really rude.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
So wait, what do you mean when you what do
you mean you sit next to the person that does
the FaceTime calling.
Speaker 10 (38:34):
So I'll be going in to get my own haircut,
either at the barber or the hairdresser whoever can fit
me in at a time, and you obviously regulars to
go and just you know, FaceTime call, and they don't
really realize when they start talking on FaceTime or on
the phone the hairdresser or a bible is really loud
(38:54):
as it is with music playing, other people talking, so
to actually get their point across to the person they're
talking to, the.
Speaker 4 (39:03):
Really loud Yeah I'm the projector Yeah, PJ is no
wallflower at the times.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
But can I defend myself?
Speaker 1 (39:13):
There was only us, like it was just us too
and this container, so there were no other people I
was bothering.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
It was just the hairdresser.
Speaker 10 (39:22):
I wouldn't be surprised if it was the person to
sit in the waiting room that could hear it too.
Speaker 4 (39:25):
You exactly, And the neighbors and the people down the
street and the people in the next suburb over a
beat as well than you.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Thank you, Nicky Neck.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
We've got to helpings about you coming away.

Uh, true love? True love today? I'm a romantic at heart.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Would you rather be in jail for five years or
be in a coma for a decade?
Speaker 4 (00:37):
Oh, that's good. Five years in jail you'd have good
stories to tell at least.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Yeah, you would five years. It's a lot, Ryan, go on,
please don't continue.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
He just like I because I always thought I would.

very popular.

Speaker 6 (01:17):
Run a long.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
I know no filter on this podcast.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
We've learned it does get I've been to Have you
ever been to a jail like a prison?
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
I've been a couple of times, a couple of times.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
To do like interviews for Tale.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Yep, yep, And one of the times I got given
like a tour. It was one of the It was
a prison in Southwark and I got given a tour.
It was quite fascinating to me because part of me like,
they've at least in this in the section of the
prison that I was in, and at this specific prison
I was it. I'm sure not every prison is the same,
(01:55):
but I they had like TVs and stuff in their cells.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Well I have heard that.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
I mean they were, Yeah, there are some pretty good
facilities in some parts, Like I know it's all like that.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
But and there was still it was still a prison
cell with a door locked at the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (02:09):
But also part of me was like, man, could just
chill out in here for me?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
You just said, what the hell would you do in
an off grid cabin and a beautiful location, how are
you going to go?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
And four walls?
Speaker 4 (02:22):
That is true, that is true, but anyway, it was
it was quite fascinating to walk around and see the
prison and like meet some of the prisoners and stuff. Right,
and then least literally a week later, they a bunch
of the prisoners rioted and they lipped part of the
prison on fire, and it would you make the ones
that write it, well, I mean hard to know feasibly,
(02:44):
I'm not sure. But I had to then go back,
and so I went for work and I was reporting
on this. It was actually a really lovely story. They
had a men's choir at the prison, and the men's
choiet had released a CD that they were selling for charity.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
They were raising for cherry.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
So it was a really beautiful story. Were in the
middle of these prisons. It was really lovely, really fascinating.
And then literally a week later, a bunch of them
from the same prison rioted and caught it on fine.
So I was back then literally the next week reporting
on this massive ride.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
At the prison.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Did you get to sit down and talk to them
about this story?
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Yes, yeah, it was more about the it was more
about the CD. They were very specific, like the people
from corrections were very specific, saying, you know, don't dove
too much, don't doubt too much. And we weren't allow
we weren't allowed to identify them at all, like you
couldn't show their faces or anything like that.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
So and would you say, like a name. Would you
change a name? Would you be like and Joey, I'm
with you.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, I just think so it was pre recorded, so
it wasn't live. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
But what's fascinating is in America, Like if you ever
watched news like docos and stuff from America, the excess
they get to prisons and prisoners. I mean they can
show everything they get. They get extee the taped phone
conversations and stuff. You know, if you're even watching like
a true crime doc o. Yeah, we didn't stuff in
New Zealand and fear enough.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
They don't get my bilephone excess, do they Nah?
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Although I'm sure some of them, Yeah they do. I'm
sure they smuggled. Some of them smuggled. I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Okay, I'm gonna go back to a few more. Would
you write, yeah, sorry I took little detail it No,
that's interesting.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Good detour.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Would you rather be eleven feet tall or nine inches tall?
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (04:40):
This is a short eleven feet is.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Sorry?
Speaker 3 (04:48):
How long is a foot long? And inches? How many?
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Twelve? Twelve?
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Yeah? Right, so you're smaller than a subway?
Speaker 7 (04:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Is it right?
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Yeah, but like I feel like it would be easier.
Life would be easier small than it would be.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Seeing my dad always see good things come in small packages.
I'd definitely go nine in.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Could just like fit you in your pocket and walk
you around.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Oh my god, be so cute. You just get three
rides everywhere.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
You would literally be polypocket.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Yeah, I'm definitely nine inches. Okay, one more?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Oh would you rather communicate only an emoji or never
be able to text at all?
Speaker 3 (05:34):
Ever?
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Again?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
I feel like never be able to text again?
Speaker 3 (05:40):
I just really would you be frustrated?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
I think it would just be annoyed. I'd like going,
how do I say?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Oh, God, don't you think you'd refine it after time?
If that's all you've got to work with the person
you're emojiing, that's start you'd start getting rhyth American in phenis.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
I'm useless teaching people back anyway, So.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
You're God, you're good.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
But then you'll go off and I'm like, where is
the But then I do that too. I'll be back
and forth and back and forth. I just disappear.
Speaker 4 (06:10):
Produced The seer sometimes is like literally things have died
because I just haven't replied.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
To a textor.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Okay, do we want one more?
Speaker 4 (06:19):
If you can find a good one. Okay, on now though,
now that I've there.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Oh, that's that's hard, Okay. Would you rather.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Spend a week in the forest or a night in
a real haunted house?
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Oh, like in the forest under the stars kind of thing?
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Yeah, but you obviously like it's just you in the forest.
You're not in a cute little cabin.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
No.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
I think the night in the haunted house, would you?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Yeah, yeah, it would be.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
It's actually a hard one.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
But like a real haunted house where there's like cocked
paper that could kill you. Suppose killed you get killed
in the forest anyway.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
But God can't kill you, can they?
Speaker 4 (07:02):
But they could scar Yeah, I think the anticipation of
like a week in the woods would be I'd rather
just get it, like rip the band aid off.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Oh man, I'm feeling the pressure and finishing one. Do
you just finished on that one?
Speaker 4 (07:20):

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Get the listeners up.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Then was going to make shame something.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Anyone want to join please?
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Coming up in the show, there is a lot Paul Henry.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
We had a great chat with him talking his history
with Maddie, which was very cooye.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
It's such lovely things to say about you.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Also the darndest things that kids say, and I had
a question straight out of the hairdresser. All of that
and more coming up. Enjoy Maddy and the podcast. Look
I'm gonna be honest. Yesterday afternoon on our Instagram page,
The Hits Drive, we posted some beautiful, picture perfect images
(08:46):
of how we portrayed our weekends and Maddie had a
great one of him hiking. I know more on that
coming up later in the show, and there was a
photo of me, my husband, and my near two year
old Charlie just going.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
On the farm.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Gorgeous.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
We're all smiles. Can I tell you? Social media is
a lie.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
While we did have a lovely moment together yesterday afternoon,
the weekend was filled.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
With a lot of stress.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Yeah, that was rare.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
That was a very very small part of what was
actually quite a stressful weekend for you.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
It did restore the equilibrium.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
We had a great family time together yes that day afternoon.
But let me talk you through the days leading up
to this, so.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
I'll give a little peek behind the curtain.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
We were meant to post those photos on Saturday, and
we got a message in our group chat from PJ going, guys,
I can't.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I got nothing, guys, I cannot. So anyway, let me
talk me through Friday. My husband is playing a rugby
game and I was en route to go support him,
and I'm always late, right because getting Charlie in the
car at the moment is pretty challenging. Anyway, We're on
(10:00):
our way, the game has started and I receive a
phone call from him and I'm like, oh no, this
is not a good thing. Why is PJ calling me?
They started playing like twenty thirty minutes ago, as they said,
butt dial log, what's going on? I pack it up
and I go, what's happening in U okay? And he goes,
I'm on my way to A and E.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Oh gosh.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Now my biggest fear is him getting concussions, because this
is so much about hid knocks. At the moment, the
moment he told me he didn't ever hid knock, I
was happy he'd done his ankle, which wasn't great, and
he was hitting straight for A and E. And basically
the rest of the weekend he was on crutches and
just couldn't do anything. And do you know what, I
realized he does a lot around the house.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
You know we talk about who does the choice on
the chores?
Speaker 4 (10:45):
Oh god, that's right, he does that. Yeah, and now
I've got to do them.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
So then that was Friday night.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Now, I remember last week I talked about how we
had to get a puppy to Hamilton. So we decided
to meet halfway. I had to go and drop this
gorgeous little puppy of ours off, a little lab puppy,
and we decided to meet in two Dongey, which is
about three and a half hours, ended up being a
seven hour round trip. My head cold decided to come
(11:14):
into full force. And because usually I love a drive
and that's great, but I was like, oh my god,
can I even stay awake? Like actually, I was like,
this is it.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
The other question is because you said I might have
to drive both a puppy and my toddler, my nearly
two year old toddler in the car at the same time.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
He stayed at home.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Cool smart.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Anyway, as I'm arriving home, I realized the car starts
making noises and I was like, every time I.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Break it's like, I was like, are you serious?
Speaker 1 (11:50):
I was with so much money they tell you don't
go to European cars, this little this little thing has
been eating at my bank account. So it turns out
I've done the brake pads, gotta go spind like short
of a grand on there.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
And think, are you thinking my car's about to break down?
I've got a husband who's on crutches, done his ankle,
with a two year old. He doesn't want to get
in the car at the beast of times. How am
I going to get caught? How am I going to
get saved?
Speaker 3 (12:14):
But wait, there's more. Oh no, I get home and
I sipped. I just clogged up.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
And it turns out that we had so much fat
go down the drain it closed up house sank, so.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
We couldn't use the toilet. We couldn't use the sank.
Every time you have to go to the bathroom, you
need to drive down to the farm. I kid you not.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
This is what I have arrived home too many. This
is what I was a bit street start come the weekend.
I wanted it to be a beautiful time to celebrate
family and and food and loved ones. But you know what,
my matariki was slowly stressed down. Now onwards and upwards.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
Now I know why the photo wasn't posted until late
yesterday afternoon.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Heavy.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
I love the universe.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
The universe usually huns my back, but I think it's
just playing trucks with me.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
It's trolling me a little bit.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
But it's all right, AM's it up. We're live, we're healthy,
and we're in for a brand new.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Mark Maddy and PJ.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Mady and PJ the podcast that's talking matai GhIE weekends,
and we heard all about yours page Boy, there's a
lot that went on over your weekend.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
It was we're here, we're alive, we're safe, and.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
We're well well well.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
The key part of mine, as I mentioned on the
show last week, was that my part, my husband Ryan
and I we're heading down to the Corimandel from Auckland
to go on all the pinnacles, which is this beautiful,
gorgeous walking coramdal that I've been wanting to do for
a really long time.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Is it like one of the top walks around the country.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
It's pretty, it's a it's a great little it's it
could either be a day walk or you can stay overnight,
and there's there is a hut close to the top
that you can stay at as well. We decided we're
just going to do it in one day, and friends
of our said, we would love to.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Can we bring the kids.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
I've got three kids between the ages of thirteen and seven,
So my first thought was these kids are I adore
them where we are Uncle Maddie and Uncle Ryan to
them and they are the best kids ever. But I
did think this is big, like because I was trying
to think back to my childhood going God, was a
seven year old.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
Would I have been able to do that walk.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I've been dragged along to do long walks. Seemed like
the worst thing at the time, right, You just like
try and stop as much as possible, or snacks. I'd
be bribed by snacks.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
So that's what we did. We loaded up with snacks
because I was worried. You know, you know me, I'm
a power walker at the best of times, and I
didn't want anyone to slow them down.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I didn't want.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Anyone, you know, break in your stride.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
Cut me down in my prime.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Well it turns out I had nothing to worry.
Speaker 3 (14:53):
Why did they beat you?
Speaker 4 (14:54):
These kids were so fast and so fit that right
at the end of the pinnacles, if anyone's e done it,
you get to the top by lesterally climbing these ladders
on like built into the rocks.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
It's really perilesus. It's quite perileoss And a little bit.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
I saw that you posted it was like stunning.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
It's a huge, big thing to get up there.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
So these kids were their limber limbs, could just climb
and clown these over these rocks and stuff, and it
was amazing.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
The kids were incredible.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
There was a lot of bribing with snacks, and they
wanted Popeye's chicken.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
At the end of the day, when we.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Got any piggybacks, did you have to do any piggybacks?
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Get no piggybacks? They went the whole way.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
I was so impressed. But afterwards, because we had driven
a couple of them in our car and after the trip,
like we all got back home and my friend, the
dad messaged me and said, you will not believe what
one of the kids just said. One of the kids
just told me that he thinks he's homophobic. And I went,
(15:57):
excuse me. I said, look, I know we played a
lot of like Madonna and Kylie in the car, but
we're not that. Come on, excuse me homophobic. And then
he said yeah, and the kid then went on to say,
you know, I think I'm really scared of small spaces,
and dad win.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
Oh Lovestra phoback Claus.
Speaker 4 (16:26):
And it was just one of those brilliant, brilliant moments
where you where you go. Man, kids they really try,
bless them, they try, really truly, but they do say
the darnedest things.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Thank God that was said, you know, to family and
I'm not out and the belt.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
At school we picked to school. I'm really homophone.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
Back, I hung out with Many and Ryan and I'm
so homophone.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
So anyway, okay, lead's open up the phones.
Speaker 1 (16:56):

darndest things, and yeah, maybe they're seven, they're ten, they're two,
whatever it is. Text us down four four eight seven

Speaker 4 (17:12):

the weekend with some friends of ours and their kids,
and one of the kids at the end of the
weekends said, I think I'm homophobic, and he meant to
say claustrophobe.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Spending time with you and your husband. He's like, no,
I'm done.

This text page. My daughter was about three years old
and said to me she had itchy foreskin. I said, darling,

Speaker 2 (19:46):
I love that.

Speaker 5 (20:04):
Oh? Man? So I work in a risk home and
I was talking to my partner about this one man.
He's a lovely man, but he's got prostate cancer at
the moment. So I was talking to him and everything.
I thought I'd put my five year old daughter to
bed and a sleep, and so the next morning she
gets up and she's like Oh, Mom, I don't want
(20:25):
to go to school. And I said why, what's the matter?
She said, I've got posture cancer. Oh oh okay, Wow,
that was a good one to explain.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Oh yeah, I love that she. I love that she
was trying to get out of creator.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
At least she stopped it and it's tracks, so like,
at least she stopped it in its tracks before she
said that to we teach her at school.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
Right, that would not be great.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Stayed in the confines of the house until you decided
to share it on national radio.
Speaker 1 (20:56):
Okay, I think I've got a favorite. It's got to
go to Tanya. Tanya from Auckland. Hello, Hello, you're our

You're welcome.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
Maddy and PJ. Maddi and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
That season one of Traitors graced our screens last year
and it took the country by storm. So many people
fell in love with this show and we're stoked to
be joined by the host who is back for season two,
Paul Henry. It is an absolute honor to have you
on the show this afternoon.
Speaker 9 (21:35):
Good afternoon, Good afternoon, PJ. It's an honor to be
on the show and here like Maddie and you, and
I mean, how good is it?
Speaker 2 (21:42):
How good is it? How great is it?
Speaker 9 (21:44):
And the thing is I said to you when I
came in, Maddie. You know, radio it's very special, isn't it.
And a lot of people probably think, oh, why would
you go from TV to radio? Radio is very very special.
That's sort of one on one broadcasting.
Speaker 10 (21:58):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
That's where you got your start, right.
Speaker 9 (22:00):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, It's always been my favorite platform.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Do you miss that? No, you're very nice here. You're
very lazy these days.
Speaker 9 (22:11):
I well it, No, yes, I am.
Speaker 7 (22:14):
No.
Speaker 9 (22:15):
I just don't want to do it anymore. I don't
work anymore. But every now and then something comes along.
But I basically don't you know, I don't want to
be tied down. I always say I miss being able
to do it, but I would hate to bepecially to
do it, and to do it properly. You have to
put yourself in the position where you have to do it,
(22:37):
like they're not going to give you a great job.
If you just want to do it on the occasion,
you're going to wander in.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
So yeah, what about like podcasting and stuff? I could
see you if you can.
Speaker 9 (22:48):
Who doesn't have a bloody podcast? Do you know anyone
that doesn't have a podcast? Okay, here's another question. Name
me someone that's made a fortune out of podcast No,
that's cheating, that's cheat is coming. You're planning on a
bigger population.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
She's just saying that because the bosses might be listening.
Speaker 9 (23:08):
Because they all want you to do podcasts desperately. Yeah,
is there a platform that PJ and Mattie aren't on?
We look, we found a magazine the other day they
could write four break heyl.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
I want to talk to you because you play a
very significant role in dear Meddi's career. You actually the
one who decided to change his name from Matt to Matta.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Do you remember that.
Speaker 9 (23:30):
It could have been a mistake on my part at
the time, but I always doubled down on mistakes.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (23:34):
Well, it was my second day on air on Breakfast,
and you said to me, Peppa and I have talked,
and we don't think you look like a matt We
think you look like a Medie. And here I am.
Almost seventeen years later, we still called Meddi.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
It worked hasn't it.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
He's so much more of a media, isn't he.
Speaker 9 (23:53):
He's so much more of a meddie. And look at him, Matt.
I was right then, right now, And the answer is not.
I don't remember saying it, but that is exactly the
sort of thing I would have said.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
Absolutely, And I.
Speaker 9 (24:06):
Also remember saying and I wasn't wrong because I said
it for comic effect. We'll never see him again, and
I said it when I knew we would see a
lot on the podcast.
Speaker 4 (24:18):
You're a sweet man to me Ba at the end,
and you're a sweet man now.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
I know you don't like many people thinking.
Speaker 9 (24:23):
You're very talented, and I don't like people thinking it.
We won't talk about it anymore, but you've got it, see,
because here's the thing, and you can see this in
some people. Some people are just good at their jobs, right.
Other people have personality. Now, if you can get someone
with personality who's also good at their job, oh god,
you're on to a winner.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
What do you remember of those of those days.
Speaker 9 (24:44):
Getting up at naught o'clock having fun? I mean, I
remember it being fun. But oh, it's taxing, isn't it.
People don't want to hear that you know, but it's oh, yeah,
well we don't do it. Then if you don't like it, no,
that's why I stop.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
Something Paul does like is Traders, the TV show, and
it is back for season two.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
We're going to talk more on that, the podcast that
joined by Paul Henry.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
It is great to have you here and now you
are diving back into the world of media.
Speaker 3 (25:16):
I know reluctantly.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
But obviously Traders season one was incredibly successful. They came
back for season two. You got the call up and
you couldn't say no.
Speaker 9 (25:25):
No, I couldn't. I would because it sort of it
did fit into a very tight band of things that
I said I would be prepared to consider. I was
never going to do daily, weekly, monthly television because that
just ties you down, or radio or anything like that.
But if I always said, if the right project comes along,
how could you not? How could you not do Traders?
If you if you're offered it, you know, it's such.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
It does make your personality well.
Speaker 9 (25:50):
And it is such a good format. And we've doubled
down on the second the second series, so we've just
spent a bit more money and we fine tuned things
and you.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Will have the elevator pitch down pat because I was
trying to explain it to someone today because I love
the show, but I did a terrible job of explaining it.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
How do you describe it?
Speaker 9 (26:09):
The trouble with it When you start explaining it, it
sounds really complicated.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
It's not at all.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
So what's your best way of describing it to anyone
who hasn't seen the show?
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Okay, in a really quick, easy way.
Speaker 9 (26:20):
We grab twenty two people who you don't know and
who don't know each other, and torture them for two
weeks on the prospect that they may walk away with
one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
Brilliant.
Speaker 4 (26:32):
Yeah, So there's traders and there's faithfuls. The traders are
trying to kill the faithfuls. The faithfuls are trying to
figure out who the traders are.
Speaker 9 (26:39):
At the end of the game. The traders will win
all the money if they're there at the end of
the game, So the faithfuls have got to try and
get rid of all the traders, if just one, because
I just decide when the game ends, and that might
be when there's five six people left, and those five
or six pe people know that they'll get an even
(27:01):
share of however much money it is, unless there's a
trader left.
Speaker 4 (27:05):
What does it say about me that whenever I watch
the show, I desperately root for the traders. I really
want to traded it with.
Speaker 9 (27:11):
I don't know what that says about you. It's hard
to traitors, maybe devious, But you know, the great thing
about having non celebrities, I mean nobody these contestants this year,
twenty two of them. They don't know each other, and
no one in the audience knows them except their family.
And I've got a feeling with some of them. Even
their families don't know them that well. The great thing
about that is everyone, including the audience, is getting to
(27:33):
know each each of them at the same time, so
they're not second guessing themselves. And you are going to
decide who you like, who you're going to be rooting for,
you know, and that'll probably change, you know how with
people it changes and you see someone you really like
them and there's someone you hate, and then you realize
after a little while, I can see why they might
be like that.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Yeah. So that's interesting obviously.
Speaker 9 (27:57):
For traders, because I know some of the traders in
some of the formats that have not been nice.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
I know, I don't know what it is.
Speaker 9 (28:05):
I don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (28:05):
Maybe it's an underdog situation. It could be because I've
really got the work cut out.
Speaker 9 (28:09):
But yes, the irony is the traders have much more
power in the game than the faithful. I'd be a
terrible Yes, you would. You'd be a terrible trader. You would,
because I know you. You would be.
Speaker 4 (28:20):
Absolutely everything on my face. You would give it away.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
I'd be bad as well. I don't think I could
do it.
Speaker 4 (28:26):
We cannot wait to watch season two. It's so good,
such a good shot. Yeah, and we really have you know,
it's world class. We've really pushed the boat out and
going to Timuru was a great idea we found this.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
It's filming in Canterbury this time, isn't it.
Speaker 9 (28:40):
Yeah, and Canterbury particularly in the winter at the time
that we were there, the beginning of winter. You know,
the countryside has as many lives as the program.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
You just look at it, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Did you see the infamous black panther there? Always says
rear sightings, and he was at my door every morning. Paul,
thanks so much for joining us. Today.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Trader Season two is back on Tally tonight going get
a Month's.
Speaker 7 (29:09):
Mady and PJ Many and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
That Mattie, You're nearly ten years older than me, but
I swear your lifestyle keeps me young.
Speaker 4 (29:18):
Excuse me, I am not nearly teens older than you.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
You got me.
Speaker 3 (29:26):
It's a solid what four or five? Maybe?
Speaker 1 (29:29):
See you definitely bring the youth to the party on
the show.
Speaker 4 (29:34):
You've got a kid, and you live in the middle
of the of nowhere. You don't have a lot of
opportunities to go about partying.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
He excuse me. Country people know how to party. It's
just you know.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Yes, I do have a child, and I've been living
quite modestly lately, but I can party when I need to.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Oh, I know you can. Oh, I know you can.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
But yes, I went out on Friday night, and remember
last week I told you it was Egyptian themed, and
I was so worried about what that meant to weir.
Speaker 2 (29:57):
I was terrified.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
That's right, because on one hand, you didn't want to
look to a cold and not dress up, but then
you didn't want to go to the other end of
the spictrum and be way too jazzed for the evening.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
So we asked around and a few people said, no, no, no,
it's not it's not that kind of it's themed from
the event perspective.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
It's not themed from you don't need to dress up
in Egyptian theme, right.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
But it was a very cool party and I'm not cool.
I'm really not And so I spent all days stressing
about what I was going to wear, and I finally
landed on this outfit and I tried it on.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
I was like, I like it. It's cool.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Because we looked at some of the costumes because we
didn't want to go down the route of cultural appropriations,
so we were like, what if we get like a
cool like there was a stick that you could have
and then a pyramid on the head.
Speaker 4 (30:42):
I left all of that behind and I just went
from what was in my wardrobe.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
What can I put together?
Speaker 4 (30:47):
That was cool because that was what my friends were saying,
that's all we're doing. So I put together this outfit
in a bunch of people came around to our house
for some drinks beforehand, and one of my friends walked in,
who's been to a lot of these events, and he
just looked literally looked me up and down and went, no,
and I was much too much from the point of
(31:10):
he said, you're gonna cook like you're gonna heat. So
he said, and do you have like a three piece suit? No,
I just had long pants and a long top on.
And he said, honestly, it gets so hot in there,
so he said, and you go. So then I was
stressing and I had to go and change and I
had to put on like a short sleeve shirt and shorts,
and I'm glad I did because it was very hot
in the in the event, so I was fine.
Speaker 3 (31:31):
It was really like a summer pool party kind of
you're again.
Speaker 4 (31:34):
Except the bad thing was you had to do the
mad dash from the from the taxi into the event
and very freezing walkand weather.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
But then I got in and thank god page I didn't.
Speaker 4 (31:44):
I didn't go costume heavy because literally there was one
guy dressed head to toe in like full Egyptian.
Speaker 7 (31:53):
Fee and.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Made him feel less a lot or.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
I could have been that guy, and no way I
was being that guy the podcast.
Speaker 3 (32:07):
Sorry, it just seem my microphone wasn't on, so I
was panicking. But did you hear me? You heard the
whole Yeah, gotta love technology thing about you.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
And me, and I'm just exactly the same as you
can read everything on our face.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
There's no chill to us.
Speaker 7 (32:22):
What I.
Speaker 3 (32:24):
Wish I was bitter, like I had a better poker face,
but I don't.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
So on the weekend, I had planned for a long
time to cut my hair and get.
Speaker 3 (32:33):
The colored up a bit.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
We are going on a week's holiday. We're going on
a honeymoon next week.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
That's so exciting.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
You were tossing up between like a copper, like a
brassy copper.
Speaker 3 (32:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:44):
When I had my Hot Girls summer era, when I
was like twenty seven, I went copper. Uh huh. So
I thought, oh, maybe we'll do that again. But actually
it's quite a lot of Edmunds.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
You were talking full blonde, but you haven't gone full blonde.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
Well, I yeah, no, I think well I did request
full blonde, but then we realized actually I'm a low Edmond,
low maintenance kind of girl, and that was going to
grow out real quick. So I've just gone Belliard on naturally. Well, anyway,
you know when you're at the hair dresses and you're
getting here done and you're getting color, and it can
take quite sometime.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
How long are we talking?
Speaker 3 (33:23):
So I thought I was gonna take.
Speaker 1 (33:24):
About three hours, and it probably was pushing for and
a half.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
That's a really long time by the.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Time I got out now, because I had a lot
of time to kill and it was actually it's like
a cute little container where I get my head done.
So it's just like a nice intimate space me and her.
You know, she's got tunes playing. But there is another
thing I did during that appointment, and it didn't dawn
on me until I had got on my current left
(33:53):
where I thought, Oh, was that kind of.
Speaker 3 (33:56):
Road for me to do?
Speaker 7 (33:57):
That? Is?
Speaker 3 (33:58):
This?
Speaker 4 (33:59):
Is this one of these weird because I've noticed you
do this. You don't you like to fill you like
to fill silences I do. It was just a case
of you filling the silence.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
No, I'm gonna paint the picture for you. So I'm
sitting there when all of a sudden, oh, maybe I'll
do this, and I FaceTime my mom, and I FaceTime BJ,
my husband, and then I FaceTime Mom again. Hey, Mom,
I just want to see how's Charlie going. Charlie, You're good, okay, cool?
All right, Well, I shouldn't be much Hey, bage.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
How are you getting on? All right? Cool? All yeah,
I'll come and see you Rugby later on. Okay, cool?
See you bye bye? Hey Mom? Literally like back, and.
Speaker 4 (34:45):
We've had this conversation because you do this to us
all the time. Will be in cars, I've been in
cads with you. I've been at airports with you. There
is no sacred space where you will not pick up
face time and video caller, one of your loves, she's
(35:05):
calling out and then I was like high and.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
And she's like, oh hi, Matty, is that like, Am
I really too liberal? Do you think with the face time?
Because I thought, well, maybe this is nicer for her
than me just scrolling on my phone because all customers
do that. You know, all clients are sitting there scrolling,
and I think that's potentially ruder. They're actually catching up
(35:27):
with family and friends.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
What I will say is that the thing about a
face time is you are not only let in on
the phone conversation that the person that's made the phone
is heaving. You're also lit on and on the other side,
so you have no you have no escape from listening
into this entire conversation. Yeah, it's dangerous.
Speaker 1 (35:53):
It is enter here like BJ will pack up with
he love and pick up on the shaft. I know
he didn't do that, and I mind if I should have, Like,
if I think about it, I should have given you
the heads up just saying I'm going to call, whereas
I just do it out of the blue. I would
love to know, though, I'll wait hundred of hats to
get a definitive weigh in on this. Are you a
(36:15):
hairdresser and do you find it really rude with your
clients FaceTime? Well maybe you're in another industry adjacent to
that and your clients do that?
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Is it rod or do you understand?
Speaker 1 (36:27):
I wait hundred the hats you context Wolf for eight seven,
We've got some help pizza archers to get to give away,
get in touch. I want to know was I offensive
or was it totally normal?
Speaker 7 (36:38):
Many in the podcast.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
That's just saying I was at the hairdresser over the weekend.
It was lovely to finally get the hair done, put
a bit of color in it. Four and a half
hours later, I'm out. But I did in that time
make a few FaceTime calls.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
How many are we talking a couple?
Speaker 4 (36:59):
Like?
Speaker 3 (36:59):
So much so? The hedresser really felt like she got
to know people. She was like, is he really like this?
Is he playing up there farming character? I'm like, no, no, no,
he's really like that.
Speaker 1 (37:09):
But it does beg the question is this a rude
practice to do whilst yet the he dresser or a
similar environment the hets.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
Genny from Janaden is called through.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Hi, Genny, Hi guys, Hello, very well, what are your
thoughts on this?
Speaker 11 (37:30):
Well, I'm a hero dresser myself, and I actually don't
mind it. And it's quite funny because I get clients,
you know, kids bring up and stuff, and they'll put
them on answering ship, you know, on speaker phone, and
they'll go, I'm with Jenny, just mind when you.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
Were but better at the Yeah, Ginny, do you get
a lot of good goss as well? Oh?
Speaker 11 (37:55):
I tell you it's so good and you actually get
to know some of their family.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
Yeah, like for better, awful, worse, Ginny.
Speaker 3 (38:03):
Yeah, exactly, great to know. Gdy. Thank you so much
for calling through.
Speaker 11 (38:09):
Not a problem.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
All right, let's get a neck. Oh wait, one hundred
of hats you on the way in? Is it rose
to FaceTime during an.
Speaker 10 (38:16):
Appointment from a person who sort of sits there next
to the person that does the FaceTime going. I'm gonna
have to say, it's rude, really rude.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
So wait, what do you mean when you what do
you mean you sit next to the person that does
the FaceTime calling.
Speaker 10 (38:34):
So I'll be going in to get my own haircut,
either at the barber or the hairdresser whoever can fit
me in at a time, and you obviously regulars to
go and just you know, FaceTime call, and they don't
really realize when they start talking on FaceTime or on
the phone the hairdresser or a bible is really loud
(38:54):
as it is with music playing, other people talking, so
to actually get their point across to the person they're
talking to, the.
Speaker 4 (39:03):
Really loud Yeah I'm the projector Yeah, PJ is no
wallflower at the times.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
But can I defend myself?
Speaker 1 (39:13):
There was only us, like it was just us too
and this container, so there were no other people I
was bothering.
Speaker 3 (39:19):
It was just the hairdresser.
Speaker 10 (39:22):
I wouldn't be surprised if it was the person to
sit in the waiting room that could hear it too.
Speaker 4 (39:25):
You exactly, And the neighbors and the people down the
street and the people in the next suburb over a
beat as well than you.
Speaker 2 (39:33):
Thank you, Nicky Neck.
Speaker 3 (39:34):
We've got to helpings about you coming away.
Speaker 1 (39:36):
Thanks for BA again. You're not going to stand no, never,
just radio content. I'm definitely gonna do it again.
