Speaker 2 (00:02):
Thanks to Chemist Warehouse the Real House of Fragrances.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Many and PJ on that Hi everyone, welcome to the podcast.
You are with Metty and PJ.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Hey question we did kind of We talked about people
calling in sick, like pulling sikis. Have you ever be honest?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Be honest?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Have you ever done that?
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Ah?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
No, not like blatantly.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I might have been genuinely feeling a little under but then,
like you know, when it's really awkward.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
When you're like, oh, but I would love to go.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
And do this thing, when you do still need to
go out and about it, and then you feel really
guilty for going up. For example, if it is an appointment,
or if it is an event and it's a concert,
and like you pulled out of work, but then you're
at a concert that night.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
So I've probably like I've played in that area. I
don't think I've done a.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Deliberate I don't think I have that.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
We're so boring.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I feel like I would be the kind of person
that would get caught as well. Someone teached him that.
We didn't read this text on the show, but someone
teaches him. So I called him sick to go to
a cricket match at the Basin Reserve in Wellington. All
my work colleagues watching the game in the lunch room
saw me on the TV. That would happen to me.
I would be that person.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
That would ever to you. At least you're not cheating though.
That would have caught a few people are.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Have you ever seen have you seen that infamous video
of the guy like in Brazil or Spain or something
like that, and he went to a game like a
football game and got caught on TV cheating on his partner.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Were they fall on hooking up or was he just
with another woman?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
He was with another woman and they were very like
flirty and touchy and like yeah, terrible, so bad.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
It would be like it's bad enough to discover someone's
cheating on you, but for everyone else to say yeah
at the same time.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I know which that would suck.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
I know.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yeah, No, I I need to be more rebellious. Maybe
it's time to go into my rebellious pace.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
This is what happened. This is my one This was
my one rebellious moment at high school. And it's so
low level. This is how what how much of a loser?
I was at high school, so I was the I
was the media rep for our school, So of course
you were. So I used to like I used to
work at one of the local radio stations. I wrote
(02:24):
for the tear Away magazine to tear away magazies.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
That was quite cool.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Was that very cool?
Speaker 5 (02:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I interviewed Super Groove tear Away magazine.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
How did you? Was t away magazine run by students?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I think it might have had student input, Okay, And
so it's the media rep for our school. It was
like a thing you could apply for and and so
is the media rep. I had to write for Terra Away.
And they did this competition I think it was one
of the local for one of the national radio stations,
not this one, a different one I won't say the name.
(02:58):
And you could win like a band. The prize was
that a band would come and play at your school ball. Yeah,
and you had to do you had to do make
a video to prove why your school had had the
best school spirit. And so I was in charge of
filming the video as the media rep. And I wanted
to go and do some filming off campus at lunch time,
(03:19):
and we were not allowed to leave school grounds. At
lunch time, and I asked the teacher for permission. The
teacher said no, so but I did it anyway. And
then I got back and she found out about it,
and she called me into her office and I ended
up crying, and so she rather than me getting in trouble,
she just spent the whole time consoling me because I
was like hysterically crying.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Oh, Blisse, you're cotton socks. You're a pure You're a
pure one.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
You're so pure as my four A into like naughtiness
at high school.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Here you were doing like an extracurricular cultural project. Yeah,
and like you were anything. You were like smoking in
the car.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
No, I was school. I wasn't like No.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
And then did you end up like having a really
close relationship with that teacher after but they were like,
oh minute, you probably got like a new bond and
then you became the favorite all over again.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Actually, yeah, I think we did end up with quite
a cute bond. Actually she was my history teacher.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Did you stay in touch with any of your teachers
after school?
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Yeah, a couple of them. Both of them were my
drama teachers. I had one drama teacher earlier on in
high school, and then another one later in high school,
and both of them I keep in touch with.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I has a classics teacher. He just had really good
banter and he I ended up being friends with him
on Facebook. He was a good sort.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
We still usually.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I've seen him a few times since school, but not
in a weird way. He was always just a good sort.
He called me manchild. That was my neck name, Harding Manchild.
It was fine. It wasn't like in an abusive way.
It was like we had like that kind of why
man able bond. I don't know, I had big brothers.
I was probably quite like tom boyish maybe I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
I don't know eed to know where he came from.
I think it was just them of them.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
We also ran that we also had one of your
primary school teachers on our.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Yeah, and missus Best. She was elite, she was so great.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I talked to her on Instagram and then it tunes
art that she was talking to our pe teacher, miss Armond,
and Miss Armond was listening to my show, and I
was like, that's true, because you just forget, like these
characters are such big parts of your life and then
they're just gone off the face of the earth.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Miss for at primary school was mister Pentecost. He was
the cool teacher and everyone wanted to be a mister
Pentecost's class. And I got in his class one.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Year and it was of course he did.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Yeah, it was so good.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Anyway, we better get into it. We've got a big
show coming up. We talk what rogue ingredient was not
welcome and your meal.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
We talk elopements in our group therapy session, and.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
When you got caught out pulling a sicky as we said.
Medicles on that and much more in today's podcast.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Enjoy Many and pja the podcast.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
At the risk of sounding incredibly ignorant in naive.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Well for both to be fear for both of us.
I mean, one of us is going to appear like
an idiot here and the other one might be a genius.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
A debate erupted between us just as we were about
to start the show, and medio say it, save it,
let's bring this.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Up on here.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
And I don't know if this is a good idea
because we could look like idiots.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
But anyway, I was talking about the air con remote
in the studio. I was like, hang on, why don't
you have to point the remote at the air con system.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Hard does that work? Because you know how like with.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
A remote for your TV, you often have to point
to the TV or else it won't work.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
And then I said, but you don't have to point
it at the TV. You can just turn the remote on.
I mean, not anywhere. It just has to be kind
of within frequency, within range of the television.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
No, I can tell you hands down, if I don't
point at the teally, the remote's not going to have
a connection.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Are you. Are you saying if you were sitting on
the couch and you turned the remote the wrong way round, it.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Wouldn't absolutely not, because why do you think there's that
little circle, that little you know, the thing that's just
the remote.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
That's just a range finder.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
No, that is a specific that starts the point that
goes to the I mean, look, I don't have the
technical linger.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Here's here's my thinking with the remote. Yes, your best
bet at turning the TV on or the air conditioning
unit whatever it is, is by pointing it. That is
the best range of sight, line of sight that you're
in a hand. But if you turn the remote slightly
to the side and still push the button, it's not
as you're close enough to the TV or the conditioning unit,
(08:02):
it's going to still turn on.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Nah.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
No, No, I've never met anyone that doesn't use the
Tally remote without pointing it directly at the screen.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Surely we have not googled this yet, and to fear
be a bit of a minefield. Exactly I need we
need to open this up to the people because someone
out there will know. There will be an expert that
will have a diffinite, definitive answer for us.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Maybe yeah, and maybe there are like a few different
answers out there, So text throw take us out of
our misery to kick the show off for for eight seven?
Do you need to directly point the remote at the
tally or can you just be in the same road?
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and Pj, the podcast.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Art x Machine has absolutely bload up. We were just
talking about how a debate erupted between Meddy and I
before the show kicked off about.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
To point a remote at the TV for it to
work or not.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Matty thinks you just need to be in a close
vicinity and it should pack it up.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Wow, we have so many ticks.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
We're gonna get to these before the end of the
hour and work out the definitive use. I still don't
know what the right answer is because there's a lot
of contraduction car.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
But I think we can. I think we can hash
this out.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Yeah, we'll get to that. Just before four o'clock.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
At the meantime, I was on a road trip over
the weekend. I had a seven hour round trip from
where we live in the Word up to two Dongy.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I had a little puppy drop off which went smoothly.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
It was really lovely having that interaction with the new
owner and they were like, you guitar, I just like
made made their life.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Do you know what they've named it?
Speaker 5 (09:48):
I do coba.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Oh that's a cool name.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
I know.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
It sounds like a really like powerful like jitter totally.
That's what I think of anyway. So I was I
would like usually like make the most if I was
doing a roady on my own, and maybe go and
table herself up for like a coffee because I wasn't
with my todd last I was like, oh, I've got
this time on my own, but I actually wanted to
get home, so I decided to make my pet stop
(10:14):
really quack and I went into the petrol station for.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
A little feed. Now there's always a few options.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
You can go sandwich, you can go little pastry, a
little muffin, or you can go the iconic Kiwi staple
pie pie, the pie, the pie. I just think it's
very not a little pie if you're on a Roger.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Totally because you don't have like pies on it. Well
set they up for some people, but for you and
I they're not in every day a condition, so we're
not getting them. It's like, oh what a treat.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
And again, like coffee in New Zealand, no one else
does it like New Zealand when it comes to pies.
So I decided to get what's your what would be
your go to? Okay, so you're at the cabinet and
you're about to get a pie. You're feeling a little
little hung dog on a Sunday morning.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Where do you go?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
If it's just like cheap and cheerful, it would be
like a steak pie, a good steak pie.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
See, I go stack and cheese. That's my staple.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
And you always know what you're gonna get with the
stack and cheese, right, steak and cheese.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Well, there's no why why mess with perfection?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
So I get in the car and I, for once,
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Actually eat it straight away. Usually, like I'm really.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Bad when I have food in the car, I have
to eat it like and haler as soon as it
touches my hands. I didn't actually eat this till maybe
ten minutes out of town, right and I'm driving down
the highway and I take it, buy it and it's
like a bacon hawk, like big chunks of what seems likes.
I was like, this is like a mystery meat, like
(11:45):
you know what a meat love is pizza that rogue
like kind of red meat. There's like highly process So
it was in there and I was like this is
this meant to be here? Because you know how like
sometimes bacon hawk is used for like a a it.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I was like, is this a thing? Like is this
is this one?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
To? People usually put bacon in a steak and cheese pie,
do I I definitely read steak and cheese. But then
there was just a rogue bit of bacon. Maybe they
were trying to fill it out. I don't know, but
it does beg the question of when a rogue ingredient
was added to the dish and I thought we could
open this up. Maybe it was a rat tale, or
maybe it was something undigestible, or maybe it was just
(12:28):
an unwelcome ingredient that didn't belong there A hundred the hats.
You can text four four eight seven. We've got a
bunch of help bigs aboutchers to give away. But what
was the ingredient that was not welcome with your meal?
What popped up.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Where it shouldn't have?
Speaker 5 (12:47):
The podcast.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Is eight hundred the heads. If you want to give
us a call, you can text us four four eight seven.
We've been talking about the rogue ingredient that wasn't welcome
with your meal.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
You found bacon hock in your steak and cheese pie.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
See, at least I think it was, but it could
have been mystery mate, and we all know, well, we
don't know much about miss.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Also, it just doesn't need it, like steak and cheese
good on its own, nothing else, no, and.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
So it just really I'm usually not a fussy person,
but it did dampen my pie experience. I don't have
pies all the time. I like to save that moment,
and I was just like, what is this the whole time?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Was any of us. I don't know what you are.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Hey, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for your loss.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Thank you anyway, the hats we do have some helpeats
about just to give away. Joe is calling through Joe.
What was the rogue ingredient?
Speaker 6 (13:45):
It was the tato and gravy and it had like
fluff on.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
It, fluff, like belly button fluff.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Oh my god, you've got belly butter line.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Well where did the fluff come for?
Speaker 7 (14:00):
Job?

Speaker 3 (14:06):

Speaker 5 (14:07):
Take? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (14:09):
Yeah, I went back and I told them and they
looked at me, but they gave me my money, dare,
and they took me another one.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Last thing I want, please go to mea tire me

Speaker 4 (14:25):
And my uncle had a pincil and his burger what what?
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (14:34):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (14:34):

Speaker 1 (14:36):
It must have just got stuck ind ohnah. And this
was like a legitimate fast food establishment.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Yeah, oh my gosh. What did he do? Did he
end up eating part of it or did he just
buy into it and feel the hardness of the pencil.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
He took it back and they gave him Belcher's.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Charlie's got something out of it.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
I love.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Actually it's to go to him.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I'm in the background, all right, what's the next projectory,
Lisa having up with Nathan A hundred?
Speaker 7 (15:07):
There's a good yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Not too bad. What was your rog ingredient?
Speaker 7 (15:11):
Well, I've set the scene. So I was at the time,
I was at sixteen and had an after school job.
So I finished up at school, got in the car
and raced across from Rickerton to Sumner where my job was,
and grabbed some food on the way, which was a
couple of burgers in a combo, and I pulled up
over and Summoner by the where they windsurf here and
(15:34):
ate a burger and was like, oh, I don't know
if I can, if I can go a second burger.
And there happened to be a stray dog that hung
around over the air, and I thought, I'll open up
the burger and give him the meat patty, and so
I took the top bom off the burger, and sitting
on top of the lettuce and the sauce was a
nice little tidy pile of puber here.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
How do you know, because.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
My god, I did not even the dog wants that.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
Nathan, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna give.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Just like did you did you call them and say, hey,
I've got to tell you about something.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I found in my burger?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Or did you just never go back there again?
Speaker 3 (16:29):
I just enough, Nathan.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
We've got some fast food coming away. We're gonna help
pizza food voucher for you, Pube.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Free, Mary and Mary and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Now, thank you very much for your text through to
four four eight seven.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
We sparked the debate as we kicked the show off.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Do you need to point the remote at the tally
to make it work?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I belie, leave you.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Do, And I said, these newer TV it's not like
when we grew up in the nineties or the eighties.
You don't need to directly pointed at it. It just
it's a range finder, Peach, it's a range But then.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Why do they have the little dot at the top
of the remote indicating that you need to actually point.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
At that's the range finder. So as long as it's
in the general vicinity, it is. And most people in
the Dix machine agree.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
With me, No, they don't, I said most.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
I didn't say I said most.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
I think what we can conclude is that technology has
got better. Someone said, I think you used to have
to point in the remote directly at the device, but
don't anymore lulls.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Someone said old remotes, yes, direct infrared, though with most
new remotes their Bluetooth and Wi Fi, you could stick
it up your bar and it would still work.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Well, don't do that. Do not do that.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Give it a go.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Okay, So do we have a conclusion that basically, the
newer the technology, the greater the chance is that you
could just point it anywhere?
Speaker 3 (18:06):
So how news your TV?
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Do you?
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Can you go home tonight and test it out and
let us know.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Okay, it's to be fair, I've actually never tried it
your way.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
If I've never actually pointed it the other way, I've
always just been so freaked out that i just have.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
To go torek. So tonight I'll try and I'll report
back on the SHOUW.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Please do Many and.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
PJ the podcast. It's Many and PJS group therapy.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Thank's gonna get in touch with us about group therapy.
Speaker 2 (18:31):

(19:14):
I'm at MP Jane. How are you going? We got it?
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Thanks.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
I'm a bit stuck with the relationship problem that I
need some help with. My partner and I got engaged
back in January. It was such an exciting time and
we are so happy. Congratulations and Congress. We really enjoy
that engaged bliss totally. But we now face a dilemma
that we are butting heads over and it is a
real struggle. I'm wanting to Elope least pressure, more cost effective,
(19:42):
nice and intimate. He does think the same, However, he's
reluctant due to his family pressuring pressuring him into a
wedding closer to home instead. What do we do? He
is super close with his family, and I love them too,
so I don't want to get in the middle of them.
It's so hard. I've come from a background of not
really thinking that marriage is that important as long as
(20:04):
we have each other. So the idea of Elope and
just the two of us is really appealing. We would
love to hear everyone's thoughts to a lot.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
It's lope, What is a good one?
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I totally understand the appeal of just going away and
getting it done, but I also understand, like you have
to be sensitive to the family and the family's connection,
and you know they're wanting to be a part of it.
Can you This would be my initial reaction.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Could you go on a lope?
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Could you go and do the official thing overseas and
then come back and then have a party with your
friends and your family.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
And then then it's like, well you might as well
have just had the Like if you're doing all of
the If you're doing the whole big thing, then you
might as well just do it all in one together
at the same time, right.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
But not everyone will be able to go overseas. No,
that's no, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
And so you go, yeah, what's the point of doing
it overseas?
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Then if it's just you? But no, that's fine. You
go into it overseas. But if you're coming back to
then throw a party, Well you might as well just
have the wedding because you're throwing the party anyway.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Right, like low key, Like I'm just thinking, like a
low key lunch or like a nice little dinner.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Here's my thinking. I feel like as a society we
have fallen into a trap of feeling like a wedding
has to be this one certain thing. This is the
way that everyone does it, so therefore I have to
do it this way. You absolutely don't a wedding. You
can do the whole ceremony, the whole shaban as a
very low key get together. It doesn't have to be
(21:35):
the massive, crazy, big expensive thing that everyone seems to
see and do on social media. We don't have to
do it that way. The thing about a wedding is
you can make up the rules yourselves. You can do
whatever you want to do.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
So you could just a lot. Why don't you just say, okay,
well why don't you come? And if you can't come,
so be it.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
That's that's our decision, and it's our winding, and it's
our marriage. And this is what we were thinking about here.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yeah, all light one hundred of the hats. Now as
you're turned away in what do you think they should
do? Do you have some advice? Maybe you've been in this
position to elope, to not alpe? How do you meet
all the needs of the family.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Let us know.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Maddi and PJ the podcast The Heads Many and pj's
group therapy.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
All right, this week's question is to a lope or
not to a loaf? That's basically they're just for realizn't Matie.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Yeah, My partner and I got engaged back in January,
but now we faced a dilemma that we're butting heads over.
I wanted to elope least precium or cost effective, nice
and intimate. He does think the same. However, he's reluctant
due to his family pressuring him into a wedding closer
to home. Instead, what do we do?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
All right?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
A lot of texts coming through, Thank you so much.
Someone said we had a small wedding in my mother
in law's backyard. There were twelve guests, just immediate family
and grandparents. We had a photographer celebrant and had a
caterer come and cook for us. Then the next day
we had a barbecue in my parents' backyard and invited
all the rest of the family and our friends, and
that is when we.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Had the cake.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
It was perfect fact, just showcasing you can do what
you want, you know, go to the feet of your
own drum.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
TV's joining us, TeV. What do you reckon? He loves
you say that.
Speaker 8 (23:12):
We were so far down planning our wedding and my
husband and I we were like, is this really worth it?
We drove down to the beach, we spent a month's
party and at the coast.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Oh my god, I love that and I beat you.
That was so relaxing and there was no streets involved.
Speaker 9 (23:33):
No stress.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
Nineteen years later, we didn't have the debt, we didn't
have the divorce papers cause.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
And did it cause any family problems?
Speaker 5 (23:44):
Was it or was it?
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Pretty smooth sailing? Once you decided that's what we want
to do as a couple.
Speaker 8 (23:49):
You know what, they were a little bit upsets because
they want to be there special. You know, today's time.
You've got to be realistening do they have for a
hundred k to feed you and your family?
Speaker 5 (24:03):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (24:03):
Is what you want. So I've think left the couple
the side and be happy and whatever they do is
to take them up for dreams before after they.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Get love that love that DEBI thank you so this
special of advice that people say you have to do
what you guys want to do. Don't just fold everyone
else's demands because then you are going to really regret it.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Make up your own rules. I think it's the perfect
way to go.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
All right, it's got a nicolaur just to wrap this up,
hundred hats what do you regain?
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Definitely alpe Hey for you have you have experience with
this Nicola?

of the day, it's your day, and you've got to
do what works for you. And you know you can
have us get together and celebrate with everyone else when
you're back. And but yeah, you've got to be doing
what's you know, what you.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Yeah, thank so much forgetting in touch. We're going to
hook you up with the little hell peaks about you cool.
Thanks so much.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
Someone else said, I eloped do it. Our family had
to deal with it. You could have drinks with everyone
when you're back. If they love you, they won't expect
to put you into just so that they can have
a party exactly.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
They're going to be out for a little bit, but
they will get over it in time. Surely.
Speaker 3 (25:20):
I love that, So Elope, go do it. Live your life,
have far Live.
Speaker 5 (25:28):
Maddy and PJ.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
Madi and PJ the podcasts Big Saturday at the McLean
Tease Household this Saturday. This Saturday.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
We we've just talked about the mess of Friday that

Speaker 3 (25:47):
We are hosting a midwinter Christmas at our house. There
be there will be wall to wall boublay.
Speaker 1 (25:58):

Speaker 3 (26:03):
No boobs, and our halfshold page no boobla and the
Christmas sweaters will come out. I'm cooking a really nice
legal lamb oh. Ryan wants to make eggnog. Neither of
us have ever had eggnog. Before, have you had, oh, the.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Idea of ignog's great? And I don't. I think I might.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
I don't think I have love the idea of it.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Though, same, Well, we'll report back. I'll tell you what
it's like.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Thanks.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
So we decided that we were going to do a
late afternoon midwinter Christmas because we're trying to get our
group together. And it was obviously you know what it's like.
It's very hard to get a whole group of people
to get there. And we cats absolutely and one couple said,
we can't do this weekend. Another couple said, we can't
do this weekend. One of our friends we can't do
this Saturday night because we've got a leaving party, but
(26:49):
we can. Then Ryan said, why don't we just do
it in the afternoon? Perfect, everyone can come in the afternoon.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
That's my favorite times.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
And again after absolutely, the older I get, the more
I go get an early, get it done and bed
by night. I love that.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Nothing good actually hymns after midnight. And that is one
of the truest sayings I've ever heard.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Our friend who said he's got a leaving party on
Saturday night though, said you'll probably invited to the leaving
party as well, because we know the couple that are leaving,
they'll be heading off to Europe, and so we thought, well,
maybe we could do the midwinter Christmas and then he
belong to this leaving party. So we waited for the
call up for the invite and waited and waited, and
(27:32):
it hasn't happened. And I even messaged the couple on
Instagram and said when you guys leaving and they said,
we're leaving on this day and I said, great, it
would be so nice to catch up before you left,
and they said, yeah, totally, it really would. No invite
to the leaving.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
You threw out the rod and got nothing, nothing nothing.
You cannot go.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
You can't go if there was no like no invitation
after that problem.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
This is my question because my friend that's coming to
the midwinter Christmas come, you're finally it's totally not I'm
saying out to this party at someone's house without being invited.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Not well, actually, how dot off and what time are
they starting? Just depending on like the event start time,
maybe you could go and later normal do we.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Send like a canary down a coal mine? Do we
send the friend along first to get a lay of
the land and then report.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, get me all on
the inside, and then make the call.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Don't make any rash okay, fear call, page, fear call.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
You need to run everything by me, which is a
concern the podcast.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
You know, those days we're just not really feeling it,
you're not vibing with the day. Maybe you're feeling a
little bit, you know, like feel like something's coming on,
or just the head's not like feeling right, and you go,
should I, should I teach the boss? Should I get
the boss a call and say I'm sick.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
I've had that temptation a lot last few weeks. I've
been so close. I've been so close, but I can't
do it.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
I can't do it.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Now I'm actually okay, I can go work.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
You're all good.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
I'm such a goodie good and one of those people
that just never utilizes this sickly ether if.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
So, and like even at school, everyone will weare not
that you show kids if you're listen so.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
Much good good.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I think I have my rebellious phase later on.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Yeah, it's definitely not as a teenager for me. No, yeah,
even I will be like I will be talking like
that said, I'll be like bye, no, gude, I can
come here.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Believe it, like eight out of ten don't feel good bye.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
But for those people that do, you've got to either
have a good plan, you know, you've got to have
a good plan in place, or you've got to genuinely
be sick. But if you're not sick, definitely don't do
what this woman, as one woman did. She works, she's
a freelancer and she splits her time between Europe and Indonesia.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Must be weary enough, must be lovely.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
So she often works remotely and she's regularly traveling between
the two countries. And one day she really wanted to
get to Indonesia, and but she was during the office
on a Friday. So she texts the boss and said,
I can't come in. I'm sick. I've got a doctor's visit.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Do you need to shel certificate? These days we can
use say now I'm going to the dark.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
I guess that's down to the workplace, right, I'd say
they probably can in some place. It's definitely in New Zealand.
I'm sure they can request it. But I guess a
lot of no and a lot of workplaces, you know,
put put a bit of trust into their workers, but
maybe maybe they shouldn't, and for good reason. Because Grace
(30:57):
was not going to the doctors. She was going to
the airport to fly to Barley.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
I couldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
I'd be way stry. I'd have to wear prosthetics. If
I was going to do that, I'd wear a big,
large cost.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Except there would be that part of you that would
go What could possibly go wrong?
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Like how long.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Someone from your where sees you and snaps you and
takes a photo and sends into the boss.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Well it was got worse than that page because she
turned up to the airport, checked in for a flight,
went through, went through customs, went through security, lined up
for her flight. Who was standing behind her in line
for the flight, but her boss?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Come on, Rachel, one O one work out where your
boss is that.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Day exactly, and make sure your boss is not also
booked a flight to Bali for the weekend. Oh no,
She had to get on this flight and then sit
there knowing full well that her manager knew exactly what
she was doing.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
My doctor is in Honestly, there's only one doctor I trust.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
I have to go, but I mean, there's nothing you
can do right Like she's on the flo. You gotta
own it and just go. Look, I lied, I just
wanted to get to Bali.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
It's a horrible offense.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Maybe it is. You'd hope that the boss had a
little bit of lewayem would be like, look, fear, I
get it. I want to go to Bali too.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
So lit's open the phones. I wite hundred of the hats.
Have you been caught out pulling a seki? I want
something so stupidly obvious. Come on, mate, you should have
thought of that before you did it. We can keep
you anonymous if you don't want to get in trouble.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Maybe it was maybe it was school days. Maybe you
did weg off school one day and you got caught
by your parents or by your teacher or by someone,
or maybe it happened later on in life when you
were working. We want to hear your stories today.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
I waite hundred the hats. You can text four for
eight seven the podcast when did you pull a seci
and get caught out?
Speaker 3 (33:02):
I was telling you about a story about a woman
who asked her boss for a day off on a
Friday so that she could have a doctor's appointment, and
she did not have a doctors appointment. She was flying
to Bali. He was on the same flight as her
to bar What are the chance? Oh terrible, what are
the chances? So we wanted to know when did you
get caught out? You thought you were being sly, but
(33:22):
you weren't. Oh wait, hundred, hats hi Holly, Hello, Holly, Hollo.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Holy Harley, Harley?
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Is she there? Should we?
Speaker 5 (33:35):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Yeah, Holly, Hi, how are you going?
Speaker 6 (33:39):
I'm good?
Speaker 1 (33:41):
So we need to get caught out pulling a sec.
Speaker 6 (33:44):
So I was in high school. I can't remember what
you I was, but I decided to pull sticky and
walk home. And I'm walking home my mom pulls over
in the car. That's the worst part I was. And
there's my mum calling up for help like she was abducte.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
To try and live.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
To get of your case.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
Yeah, did it?
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Did it work? Or were you grounded for the rest
of the week college?
Speaker 6 (34:16):
I was pretty much grounded and I probably got the
belts now on.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
A different times, different times. Hey, thank you so much.
You call al He's going to Sharon. Hundred the hats hi, Sharon,
When did you get caught out doing a Sickie.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
Well, it was quite a long time ago, but I
used to work in a bank and I asked for
annual leave to go off to a concert in Auckland
and I lived in Nelson at the time, and they
did no, we were short starts, you can't go. So
I took a sticky and win anyway. And then while
I was up there, I put the wrong for number
and the ifpost machine that slided my card and so
of course it sent my card back to the bank
(34:51):
where they where I worked, and they said come your
card was followed up at a bank and orpened, and
it was like on a Friday when I.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Was supposed to Was it worth it? Those shares? Was
of a good concept?
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (35:06):
Took to me bad. Yeah, I was worth.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
We got to give us to our house. We're going
to keep us your house prize coming away. Let's reaping
that with Karen, I mean Katherine, Sorry Kathryne.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
When did you get caught out pulling a secade?
Speaker 10 (35:23):
So I didn't get called out, but my husband and
I were sheer milking and we had a sixteen year
old girl like just farm assistant, and she said to
my husband that she would couldn't get back to milking
because she had food poisoning from eating a bad chicken,
right right, She said, it's okay, my mom's going to
(35:45):
the doctors to get antibarics for me, so I'll be
for milking in the morning. We're like, oh, yep, okay,
not sure.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Quick turnaround from food poisoning.
Speaker 10 (35:57):
Yeah, yeah, and in the end of it would work.
And then she so she showed up for milking the
next the next morning with her hair dyed and her nails.
Speaker 9 (36:11):
WHI, yeah, that's what.
Speaker 10 (36:12):
You're there, she was like. She still denied it for
a good couple.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Of days lest wear gloves and a head.
Speaker 10 (36:23):
I don't know where she thought we were. Yeah, God
only knows what she was thinking on her head.
Speaker 5 (36:31):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
I know you and BJ your husband have gotten into
a bit of a night nighttime routine.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
You no, no, no, we don't bring this up. Remember
it got out to the rugby table.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
Yeah, but the Rabbit team already knows about it, so
we might as well continue to talk about it. You
do cute little couple's messages. He puts on the led
light mask manicures like you've had his nail.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
No, no, there are no manicures. Yes.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
I put on like a nice binaormal beat sound in
the background which helps us relax. I dim the lighting,
I put the led mask on, and then I message
his arm.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
And that's it. It's totally masculine and manly. Guys, what
are you talking about.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Well, my husband Ryan and I are absolute creatures of habit.
We get into bed, We do the New York Times
Mini cross word together first thing, and then we have
taken really taken into taken to reading. Yeah, every night,
(37:32):
and for the.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Last like, do you guys read the same book?
Speaker 3 (37:34):
No, different different books, but we'll kind of like will alternate,
so like he'll read the book and then it'll be oh,
that was a good one, you should read that next,
and then I'll be like, oh, you'll love this one
that I'm reading, and then so we kind of go
back and forth. But I realized that Ryan and I
have very different ways of reading because he loves to
read on either his IPEd like digitally or on his
(37:58):
even on his phone like on his I phone, whereas
I am very very old school and I have to
read everything in an actual book form, especially for bed.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Like it's just good for your eyes.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
Ah, Like you just always know when you've been on
your phone too much, you're just like you're hanging a
little Wait.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
Yeah, you can do the dim light, oh yeah, and
especially on like kindles and stuff. I know that the
lighting on there is kind of socially that you know
it's not as harsh. But I can't do I just
can't do it. Something about it. Just I have to
read a proper paper book.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
I also feel like there's something really like comforting about
the sound of turning a page quite like that, and
it keeps you on, like you're ready to go to sleep.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Stay.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
What I will say is the is the issue is.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Oh honestly, same time every night where you come to
the table where you and Ryan have something totally different.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
The issue is it's not cost effective because buying books
constantly is actually quite expensive. And if Ryan's also then
buying books on kindle, but I'm buying books paperback which
were terrible, So one of us has money, one of
us has to change. Really, so I was curious to
know where do people stand on this. Are people really
(39:18):
really against kindles and or digitally reading, or is paperback
on the way out?
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Do I have to move with the times.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Maybe you have to move with the times because it
will probably be cheaper if you're both on the kindle.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
Because five dollars you can get them for real cheap.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Okay, so kendle or old school texts for four eight
seven is many need to move with the times.
Speaker 5 (39:44):
The podcast
Speaker 3 (39:46):
That
The Hits Drive with Medi and PJ.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
Thanks to Chemist Warehouse the Real House of Fragrances.
Speaker 1 (00:06):
Many and PJ on that Hi everyone, welcome to the podcast.
You are with Metty and PJ.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Hey question we did kind of We talked about people
calling in sick, like pulling sikis. Have you ever be honest?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Be honest?
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Have you ever done that?
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Ah?
Speaker 1 (00:26):
No, not like blatantly.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I might have been genuinely feeling a little under but then,
like you know, when it's really awkward.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
When you're like, oh, but I would love to go.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
And do this thing, when you do still need to
go out and about it, and then you feel really
guilty for going up. For example, if it is an appointment,
or if it is an event and it's a concert,
and like you pulled out of work, but then you're
at a concert that night.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
So I've probably like I've played in that area. I
don't think I've done a.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
Deliberate I don't think I have that.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
We're so boring.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
I feel like I would be the kind of person
that would get caught as well. Someone teached him that.
We didn't read this text on the show, but someone
teaches him. So I called him sick to go to
a cricket match at the Basin Reserve in Wellington. All
my work colleagues watching the game in the lunch room
saw me on the TV. That would happen to me.
I would be that person.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
That would ever to you. At least you're not cheating though.
That would have caught a few people are.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Have you ever seen have you seen that infamous video
of the guy like in Brazil or Spain or something
like that, and he went to a game like a
football game and got caught on TV cheating on his partner.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Were they fall on hooking up or was he just
with another woman?
Speaker 3 (01:41):
He was with another woman and they were very like
flirty and touchy and like yeah, terrible, so bad.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
It would be like it's bad enough to discover someone's
cheating on you, but for everyone else to say yeah
at the same time.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I know which that would suck.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
I know.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yeah, No, I I need to be more rebellious. Maybe
it's time to go into my rebellious pace.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
This is what happened. This is my one This was
my one rebellious moment at high school. And it's so
low level. This is how what how much of a loser?
I was at high school, so I was the I
was the media rep for our school, So of course
you were. So I used to like I used to
work at one of the local radio stations. I wrote
(02:24):
for the tear Away magazine to tear away magazies.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
That was quite cool.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
Was that very cool?
Speaker 5 (02:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:29):
I interviewed Super Groove tear Away magazine.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
How did you? Was t away magazine run by students?
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I think it might have had student input, Okay, And
so it's the media rep for our school. It was
like a thing you could apply for and and so
is the media rep. I had to write for Terra Away.
And they did this competition I think it was one
of the local for one of the national radio stations,
not this one, a different one I won't say the name.
(02:58):
And you could win like a band. The prize was
that a band would come and play at your school ball. Yeah,
and you had to do you had to do make
a video to prove why your school had had the
best school spirit. And so I was in charge of
filming the video as the media rep. And I wanted
to go and do some filming off campus at lunch time,
(03:19):
and we were not allowed to leave school grounds. At
lunch time, and I asked the teacher for permission. The
teacher said no, so but I did it anyway. And
then I got back and she found out about it,
and she called me into her office and I ended
up crying, and so she rather than me getting in trouble,
she just spent the whole time consoling me because I
was like hysterically crying.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Oh, Blisse, you're cotton socks. You're a pure You're a
pure one.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
You're so pure as my four A into like naughtiness
at high school.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Here you were doing like an extracurricular cultural project. Yeah,
and like you were anything. You were like smoking in
the car.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
No, I was school. I wasn't like No.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
And then did you end up like having a really
close relationship with that teacher after but they were like,
oh minute, you probably got like a new bond and
then you became the favorite all over again.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Actually, yeah, I think we did end up with quite
a cute bond. Actually she was my history teacher.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Did you stay in touch with any of your teachers
after school?
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Yeah, a couple of them. Both of them were my
drama teachers. I had one drama teacher earlier on in
high school, and then another one later in high school,
and both of them I keep in touch with.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I has a classics teacher. He just had really good
banter and he I ended up being friends with him
on Facebook. He was a good sort.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
We still usually.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I've seen him a few times since school, but not
in a weird way. He was always just a good sort.
He called me manchild. That was my neck name, Harding Manchild.
It was fine. It wasn't like in an abusive way.
It was like we had like that kind of why
man able bond. I don't know, I had big brothers.
I was probably quite like tom boyish maybe I don't know.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
I don't know eed to know where he came from.
I think it was just them of them.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
We also ran that we also had one of your
primary school teachers on our.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Yeah, and missus Best. She was elite, she was so great.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
I talked to her on Instagram and then it tunes
art that she was talking to our pe teacher, miss Armond,
and Miss Armond was listening to my show, and I
was like, that's true, because you just forget, like these
characters are such big parts of your life and then
they're just gone off the face of the earth.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
Miss for at primary school was mister Pentecost. He was
the cool teacher and everyone wanted to be a mister
Pentecost's class. And I got in his class one.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Year and it was of course he did.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Yeah, it was so good.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Anyway, we better get into it. We've got a big
show coming up. We talk what rogue ingredient was not
welcome and your meal.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
We talk elopements in our group therapy session, and.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
When you got caught out pulling a sicky as we said.
Medicles on that and much more in today's podcast.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Enjoy Many and pja the podcast.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
At the risk of sounding incredibly ignorant in naive.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Well for both to be fear for both of us.
I mean, one of us is going to appear like
an idiot here and the other one might be a genius.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
A debate erupted between us just as we were about
to start the show, and medio say it, save it,
let's bring this.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Up on here.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
And I don't know if this is a good idea
because we could look like idiots.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
But anyway, I was talking about the air con remote
in the studio. I was like, hang on, why don't
you have to point the remote at the air con system.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Hard does that work? Because you know how like with.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
A remote for your TV, you often have to point
to the TV or else it won't work.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
And then I said, but you don't have to point
it at the TV. You can just turn the remote on.
I mean, not anywhere. It just has to be kind
of within frequency, within range of the television.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
No, I can tell you hands down, if I don't
point at the teally, the remote's not going to have
a connection.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Are you. Are you saying if you were sitting on
the couch and you turned the remote the wrong way round, it.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Wouldn't absolutely not, because why do you think there's that
little circle, that little you know, the thing that's just
the remote.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
That's just a range finder.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
No, that is a specific that starts the point that
goes to the I mean, look, I don't have the
technical linger.
Speaker 3 (07:40):
Here's here's my thinking with the remote. Yes, your best
bet at turning the TV on or the air conditioning
unit whatever it is, is by pointing it. That is
the best range of sight, line of sight that you're
in a hand. But if you turn the remote slightly
to the side and still push the button, it's not
as you're close enough to the TV or the conditioning unit,
(08:02):
it's going to still turn on.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
Nah.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
No, No, I've never met anyone that doesn't use the
Tally remote without pointing it directly at the screen.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Surely we have not googled this yet, and to fear
be a bit of a minefield. Exactly I need we
need to open this up to the people because someone
out there will know. There will be an expert that
will have a diffinite, definitive answer for us.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Maybe yeah, and maybe there are like a few different
answers out there, So text throw take us out of
our misery to kick the show off for for eight seven?
Do you need to directly point the remote at the
tally or can you just be in the same road?
Speaker 5 (08:43):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and Pj, the podcast.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Art x Machine has absolutely bload up. We were just
talking about how a debate erupted between Meddy and I
before the show kicked off about.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
To point a remote at the TV for it to
work or not.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Matty thinks you just need to be in a close
vicinity and it should pack it up.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Wow, we have so many ticks.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
We're gonna get to these before the end of the
hour and work out the definitive use. I still don't
know what the right answer is because there's a lot
of contraduction car.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
But I think we can. I think we can hash
this out.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Yeah, we'll get to that. Just before four o'clock.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
At the meantime, I was on a road trip over
the weekend. I had a seven hour round trip from
where we live in the Word up to two Dongy.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
I had a little puppy drop off which went smoothly.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
It was really lovely having that interaction with the new
owner and they were like, you guitar, I just like
made made their life.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Do you know what they've named it?
Speaker 5 (09:48):
I do coba.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Oh that's a cool name.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
I know.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
It sounds like a really like powerful like jitter totally.
That's what I think of anyway. So I was I
would like usually like make the most if I was
doing a roady on my own, and maybe go and
table herself up for like a coffee because I wasn't
with my todd last I was like, oh, I've got
this time on my own, but I actually wanted to
get home, so I decided to make my pet stop
(10:14):
really quack and I went into the petrol station for.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
A little feed. Now there's always a few options.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
You can go sandwich, you can go little pastry, a
little muffin, or you can go the iconic Kiwi staple
pie pie, the pie, the pie. I just think it's
very not a little pie if you're on a Roger.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
Totally because you don't have like pies on it. Well
set they up for some people, but for you and
I they're not in every day a condition, so we're
not getting them. It's like, oh what a treat.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
And again, like coffee in New Zealand, no one else
does it like New Zealand when it comes to pies.
So I decided to get what's your what would be
your go to? Okay, so you're at the cabinet and
you're about to get a pie. You're feeling a little
little hung dog on a Sunday morning.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Where do you go?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
If it's just like cheap and cheerful, it would be
like a steak pie, a good steak pie.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
See, I go stack and cheese. That's my staple.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
And you always know what you're gonna get with the
stack and cheese, right, steak and cheese.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
Well, there's no why why mess with perfection?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
So I get in the car and I, for once,
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Actually eat it straight away. Usually, like I'm really.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Bad when I have food in the car, I have
to eat it like and haler as soon as it
touches my hands. I didn't actually eat this till maybe
ten minutes out of town, right and I'm driving down
the highway and I take it, buy it and it's
like a bacon hawk, like big chunks of what seems likes.
I was like, this is like a mystery meat, like
(11:45):
you know what a meat love is pizza that rogue
like kind of red meat. There's like highly process So
it was in there and I was like this is
this meant to be here? Because you know how like
sometimes bacon hawk is used for like a a it.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I was like, is this a thing? Like is this
is this one?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
To? People usually put bacon in a steak and cheese pie,
do I I definitely read steak and cheese. But then
there was just a rogue bit of bacon. Maybe they
were trying to fill it out. I don't know, but
it does beg the question of when a rogue ingredient
was added to the dish and I thought we could
open this up. Maybe it was a rat tale, or
maybe it was something undigestible, or maybe it was just
(12:28):
an unwelcome ingredient that didn't belong there A hundred the hats.
You can text four four eight seven. We've got a
bunch of help bigs aboutchers to give away. But what
was the ingredient that was not welcome with your meal?
What popped up.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Where it shouldn't have?
Speaker 5 (12:47):
The podcast.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Is eight hundred the heads. If you want to give
us a call, you can text us four four eight seven.
We've been talking about the rogue ingredient that wasn't welcome
with your meal.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
You found bacon hock in your steak and cheese pie.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
See, at least I think it was, but it could
have been mystery mate, and we all know, well, we
don't know much about miss.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Also, it just doesn't need it, like steak and cheese
good on its own, nothing else, no, and.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
So it just really I'm usually not a fussy person,
but it did dampen my pie experience. I don't have
pies all the time. I like to save that moment,
and I was just like, what is this the whole time?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Was any of us. I don't know what you are.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Hey, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for your loss.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Thank you anyway, the hats we do have some helpeats
about just to give away. Joe is calling through Joe.
What was the rogue ingredient?
Speaker 6 (13:45):
It was the tato and gravy and it had like
fluff on.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
It, fluff, like belly button fluff.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
Oh my god, you've got belly butter line.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Well where did the fluff come for?
Speaker 7 (14:00):
Job?
Speaker 4 (14:01):

Speaker 2 (14:06):
Great?
Speaker 3 (14:06):
What did you do?
Speaker 5 (14:07):
Take? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (14:09):
Yeah, I went back and I told them and they
looked at me, but they gave me my money, dare,
and they took me another one.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
Last thing I want, please go to mea tire me

Speaker 4 (14:25):

Speaker 5 (14:32):
Okay?
Speaker 7 (14:34):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (14:34):

Speaker 1 (14:36):
It must have just got stuck ind ohnah. And this
was like a legitimate fast food establishment.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Yeah, oh my gosh. What did he do? Did he
end up eating part of it or did he just
buy into it and feel the hardness of the pencil.
Speaker 4 (14:52):
He took it back and they gave him Belcher's.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Charlie's got something out of it.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
I love.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Actually it's to go to him.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
I'm in the background, all right, what's the next projectory,
Lisa having up with Nathan A hundred?
Speaker 7 (15:07):
There's a good yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
Not too bad. What was your rog ingredient?
Speaker 7 (15:11):
Well, I've set the scene. So I was at the time,
I was at sixteen and had an after school job.
So I finished up at school, got in the car
and raced across from Rickerton to Sumner where my job was,
and grabbed some food on the way, which was a
couple of burgers in a combo, and I pulled up
over and Summoner by the where they windsurf here and
(15:34):
ate a burger and was like, oh, I don't know
if I can, if I can go a second burger.
And there happened to be a stray dog that hung
around over the air, and I thought, I'll open up
the burger and give him the meat patty, and so
I took the top bom off the burger, and sitting
on top of the lettuce and the sauce was a
nice little tidy pile of puber here.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
How do you know, because.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
My god, I did not even the dog wants that.
Speaker 7 (16:14):
Nathan, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna give.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
Just like did you did you call them and say, hey,
I've got to tell you about something.
Speaker 3 (16:26):
I found in my burger?
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Or did you just never go back there again?
Speaker 3 (16:29):
I just enough, Nathan.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
We've got some fast food coming away. We're gonna help
pizza food voucher for you, Pube.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
Free, Mary and Mary and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Now, thank you very much for your text through to
four four eight seven.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
We sparked the debate as we kicked the show off.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
Do you need to point the remote at the tally
to make it work?
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I belie, leave you.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Do, And I said, these newer TV it's not like
when we grew up in the nineties or the eighties.
You don't need to directly pointed at it. It just
it's a range finder, Peach, it's a range But then.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Why do they have the little dot at the top
of the remote indicating that you need to actually point.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
At that's the range finder. So as long as it's
in the general vicinity, it is. And most people in
the Dix machine agree.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
With me, No, they don't, I said most.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
I didn't say I said most.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
I think what we can conclude is that technology has
got better. Someone said, I think you used to have
to point in the remote directly at the device, but
don't anymore lulls.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Someone said old remotes, yes, direct infrared, though with most
new remotes their Bluetooth and Wi Fi, you could stick
it up your bar and it would still work.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Well, don't do that. Do not do that.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Give it a go.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Okay, So do we have a conclusion that basically, the
newer the technology, the greater the chance is that you
could just point it anywhere?
Speaker 3 (18:06):
So how news your TV?
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Do you?
Speaker 3 (18:08):
Can you go home tonight and test it out and
let us know.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Okay, it's to be fair, I've actually never tried it
your way.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
If I've never actually pointed it the other way, I've
always just been so freaked out that i just have.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
To go torek. So tonight I'll try and I'll report
back on the SHOUW.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Please do Many and.
Speaker 5 (18:22):
PJ the podcast. It's Many and PJS group therapy.
Speaker 3 (18:29):
Thank's gonna get in touch with us about group therapy.
Speaker 2 (18:31):

Speaker 3 (18:47):
And the thing is, you're all so good with your advice.
Lots of you have had these similar experiences and so
it's so great to just get that outsiders perspective. If
you have a dilemma, you can always get in touch
with us on USS. You can text us for for

(19:14):
I'm at MP Jane. How are you going? We got it?
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Thanks.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
I'm a bit stuck with the relationship problem that I
need some help with. My partner and I got engaged
back in January. It was such an exciting time and
we are so happy. Congratulations and Congress. We really enjoy
that engaged bliss totally. But we now face a dilemma
that we are butting heads over and it is a
real struggle. I'm wanting to Elope least pressure, more cost effective,
(19:42):
nice and intimate. He does think the same, However, he's
reluctant due to his family pressuring pressuring him into a
wedding closer to home instead. What do we do? He
is super close with his family, and I love them too,
so I don't want to get in the middle of them.
It's so hard. I've come from a background of not
really thinking that marriage is that important as long as
(20:04):
we have each other. So the idea of Elope and
just the two of us is really appealing. We would
love to hear everyone's thoughts to a lot.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
It's lope, What is a good one?
Speaker 2 (20:16):
I totally understand the appeal of just going away and
getting it done, but I also understand, like you have
to be sensitive to the family and the family's connection,
and you know they're wanting to be a part of it.
Can you This would be my initial reaction.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Could you go on a lope?
Speaker 2 (20:33):
Could you go and do the official thing overseas and
then come back and then have a party with your
friends and your family.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
And then then it's like, well you might as well
have just had the Like if you're doing all of
the If you're doing the whole big thing, then you
might as well just do it all in one together
at the same time, right.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
But not everyone will be able to go overseas. No,
that's no, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (20:53):
And so you go, yeah, what's the point of doing
it overseas?
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Then if it's just you? But no, that's fine. You
go into it overseas. But if you're coming back to
then throw a party, Well you might as well just
have the wedding because you're throwing the party anyway.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Right, like low key, Like I'm just thinking, like a
low key lunch or like a nice little dinner.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Here's my thinking. I feel like as a society we
have fallen into a trap of feeling like a wedding
has to be this one certain thing. This is the
way that everyone does it, so therefore I have to
do it this way. You absolutely don't a wedding. You
can do the whole ceremony, the whole shaban as a
very low key get together. It doesn't have to be
(21:35):
the massive, crazy, big expensive thing that everyone seems to
see and do on social media. We don't have to
do it that way. The thing about a wedding is
you can make up the rules yourselves. You can do
whatever you want to do.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
So you could just a lot. Why don't you just say, okay,
well why don't you come? And if you can't come,
so be it.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
That's that's our decision, and it's our winding, and it's
our marriage. And this is what we were thinking about here.
Speaker 2 (22:00):
Yeah, all light one hundred of the hats. Now as
you're turned away in what do you think they should
do? Do you have some advice? Maybe you've been in this
position to elope, to not alpe? How do you meet
all the needs of the family.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Let us know.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Maddi and PJ the podcast The Heads Many and pj's
group therapy.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
All right, this week's question is to a lope or
not to a loaf? That's basically they're just for realizn't Matie.
Speaker 3 (22:27):
Yeah, My partner and I got engaged back in January,
but now we faced a dilemma that we're butting heads over.
I wanted to elope least precium or cost effective, nice
and intimate. He does think the same. However, he's reluctant
due to his family pressuring him into a wedding closer
to home. Instead, what do we do?
Speaker 1 (22:43):
All right?
Speaker 2 (22:44):
A lot of texts coming through, Thank you so much.
Someone said we had a small wedding in my mother
in law's backyard. There were twelve guests, just immediate family
and grandparents. We had a photographer celebrant and had a
caterer come and cook for us. Then the next day
we had a barbecue in my parents' backyard and invited
all the rest of the family and our friends, and
that is when we.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Had the cake.
Speaker 2 (22:59):
It was perfect fact, just showcasing you can do what
you want, you know, go to the feet of your
own drum.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
TV's joining us, TeV. What do you reckon? He loves
you say that.
Speaker 8 (23:12):
We were so far down planning our wedding and my
husband and I we were like, is this really worth it?
We drove down to the beach, we spent a month's
party and at the coast.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Oh my god, I love that and I beat you.
That was so relaxing and there was no streets involved.
Speaker 9 (23:33):
No stress.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
Nineteen years later, we didn't have the debt, we didn't
have the divorce papers cause.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
And did it cause any family problems?
Speaker 5 (23:44):
Was it or was it?
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Pretty smooth sailing? Once you decided that's what we want
to do as a couple.
Speaker 8 (23:49):
You know what, they were a little bit upsets because
they want to be there special. You know, today's time.
You've got to be realistening do they have for a
hundred k to feed you and your family?
Speaker 5 (24:03):
Yes?
Speaker 8 (24:03):
Is what you want. So I've think left the couple
the side and be happy and whatever they do is
to take them up for dreams before after they.
Speaker 2 (24:13):
Get love that love that DEBI thank you so this
special of advice that people say you have to do
what you guys want to do. Don't just fold everyone
else's demands because then you are going to really regret it.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Make up your own rules. I think it's the perfect
way to go.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
All right, it's got a nicolaur just to wrap this up,
hundred hats what do you regain?
Speaker 3 (24:34):
Definitely alpe Hey for you have you have experience with
this Nicola?

Speaker 1 (25:40):
We we've just talked about the mess of Friday that
you just has. It's never ending.
Speaker 3 (25:47):
We are hosting a midwinter Christmas at our house. There
be there will be wall to wall boublay.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
The Christmas going to say there houlnerable boobs.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
No boobs, and our halfshold page no boobla and the
Christmas sweaters will come out. I'm cooking a really nice
legal lamb oh. Ryan wants to make eggnog. Neither of
us have ever had eggnog. Before, have you had, oh, the.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Idea of ignog's great? And I don't. I think I might.
Speaker 7 (26:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
I don't think I have love the idea of it.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Though, same, Well, we'll report back. I'll tell you what
it's like.
Speaker 1 (26:26):
Thanks.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
So we decided that we were going to do a
late afternoon midwinter Christmas because we're trying to get our
group together. And it was obviously you know what it's like.
It's very hard to get a whole group of people
to get there. And we cats absolutely and one couple said,
we can't do this weekend. Another couple said, we can't
do this weekend. One of our friends we can't do
this Saturday night because we've got a leaving party, but
(26:49):
we can. Then Ryan said, why don't we just do
it in the afternoon? Perfect, everyone can come in the afternoon.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
That's my favorite times.
Speaker 3 (26:57):
And again after absolutely, the older I get, the more
I go get an early, get it done and bed
by night. I love that.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
Nothing good actually hymns after midnight. And that is one
of the truest sayings I've ever heard.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Our friend who said he's got a leaving party on
Saturday night though, said you'll probably invited to the leaving
party as well, because we know the couple that are leaving,
they'll be heading off to Europe, and so we thought, well,
maybe we could do the midwinter Christmas and then he
belong to this leaving party. So we waited for the
call up for the invite and waited and waited, and
(27:32):
it hasn't happened. And I even messaged the couple on
Instagram and said when you guys leaving and they said,
we're leaving on this day and I said, great, it
would be so nice to catch up before you left,
and they said, yeah, totally, it really would. No invite
to the leaving.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
You threw out the rod and got nothing, nothing nothing.
You cannot go.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
You can't go if there was no like no invitation
after that problem.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
This is my question because my friend that's coming to
the midwinter Christmas come, you're finally it's totally not I'm
saying out to this party at someone's house without being invited.
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Not well, actually, how dot off and what time are
they starting? Just depending on like the event start time,
maybe you could go and later normal do we.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Send like a canary down a coal mine? Do we
send the friend along first to get a lay of
the land and then report.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, get me all on
the inside, and then make the call.
Speaker 3 (28:32):
Don't make any rash okay, fear call, page, fear call.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
You need to run everything by me, which is a
concern the podcast.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
You know, those days we're just not really feeling it,
you're not vibing with the day. Maybe you're feeling a
little bit, you know, like feel like something's coming on,
or just the head's not like feeling right, and you go,
should I, should I teach the boss? Should I get
the boss a call and say I'm sick.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
I've had that temptation a lot last few weeks. I've
been so close. I've been so close, but I can't
do it.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
I can't do it.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
Now I'm actually okay, I can go work.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
You're all good.
Speaker 3 (29:18):
I'm such a goodie good and one of those people
that just never utilizes this sickly ether if.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
So, and like even at school, everyone will weare not
that you show kids if you're listen so.
Speaker 5 (29:30):
Much good good.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
I think I have my rebellious phase later on.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Yeah, it's definitely not as a teenager for me. No, yeah,
even I will be like I will be talking like
that said, I'll be like bye, no, gude, I can
come here.
Speaker 1 (29:43):
Believe it, like eight out of ten don't feel good bye.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
But for those people that do, you've got to either
have a good plan, you know, you've got to have
a good plan in place, or you've got to genuinely
be sick. But if you're not sick, definitely don't do
what this woman, as one woman did. She works, she's
a freelancer and she splits her time between Europe and Indonesia.
Speaker 1 (30:09):
Must be weary enough, must be lovely.
Speaker 3 (30:12):
So she often works remotely and she's regularly traveling between
the two countries. And one day she really wanted to
get to Indonesia, and but she was during the office
on a Friday. So she texts the boss and said,
I can't come in. I'm sick. I've got a doctor's visit.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Do you need to shel certificate? These days we can
use say now I'm going to the dark.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
I guess that's down to the workplace, right, I'd say
they probably can in some place. It's definitely in New Zealand.
I'm sure they can request it. But I guess a
lot of no and a lot of workplaces, you know,
put put a bit of trust into their workers, but
maybe maybe they shouldn't, and for good reason. Because Grace
(30:57):
was not going to the doctors. She was going to
the airport to fly to Barley.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
I couldn't do it.
Speaker 2 (31:02):
I'd be way stry. I'd have to wear prosthetics. If
I was going to do that, I'd wear a big,
large cost.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
Except there would be that part of you that would
go What could possibly go wrong?
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Like how long.
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Someone from your where sees you and snaps you and
takes a photo and sends into the boss.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Well it was got worse than that page because she
turned up to the airport, checked in for a flight,
went through, went through customs, went through security, lined up
for her flight. Who was standing behind her in line
for the flight, but her boss?
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Come on, Rachel, one O one work out where your
boss is that.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
Day exactly, and make sure your boss is not also
booked a flight to Bali for the weekend. Oh no,
She had to get on this flight and then sit
there knowing full well that her manager knew exactly what
she was doing.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
My doctor is in Honestly, there's only one doctor I trust.
Speaker 3 (32:02):
I have to go, but I mean, there's nothing you
can do right Like she's on the flo. You gotta
own it and just go. Look, I lied, I just
wanted to get to Bali.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
It's a horrible offense.
Speaker 3 (32:16):
Maybe it is. You'd hope that the boss had a
little bit of lewayem would be like, look, fear, I
get it. I want to go to Bali too.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
So lit's open the phones. I wite hundred of the hats.
Have you been caught out pulling a seki? I want
something so stupidly obvious. Come on, mate, you should have
thought of that before you did it. We can keep
you anonymous if you don't want to get in trouble.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
Maybe it was maybe it was school days. Maybe you
did weg off school one day and you got caught
by your parents or by your teacher or by someone,
or maybe it happened later on in life when you
were working. We want to hear your stories today.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
I waite hundred the hats. You can text four for
eight seven the podcast when did you pull a seci
and get caught out?
Speaker 3 (33:02):
I was telling you about a story about a woman
who asked her boss for a day off on a
Friday so that she could have a doctor's appointment, and
she did not have a doctors appointment. She was flying
to Bali. He was on the same flight as her
to bar What are the chance? Oh terrible, what are
the chances? So we wanted to know when did you
get caught out? You thought you were being sly, but
(33:22):
you weren't. Oh wait, hundred, hats hi Holly, Hello, Holly, Hollo.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Holy Harley, Harley?
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Is she there? Should we?
Speaker 5 (33:35):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (33:35):
Yeah, Holly, Hi, how are you going?
Speaker 6 (33:39):
I'm good?
Speaker 1 (33:41):
So we need to get caught out pulling a sec.
Speaker 6 (33:44):
So I was in high school. I can't remember what
you I was, but I decided to pull sticky and
walk home. And I'm walking home my mom pulls over
in the car. That's the worst part I was. And
there's my mum calling up for help like she was abducte.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
To try and live.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
To get of your case.
Speaker 4 (34:11):
Yeah, did it?
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Did it work? Or were you grounded for the rest
of the week college?
Speaker 6 (34:16):
I was pretty much grounded and I probably got the
belts now on.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
A different times, different times. Hey, thank you so much.
You call al He's going to Sharon. Hundred the hats hi, Sharon,
When did you get caught out doing a Sickie.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
Well, it was quite a long time ago, but I
used to work in a bank and I asked for
annual leave to go off to a concert in Auckland
and I lived in Nelson at the time, and they
did no, we were short starts, you can't go. So
I took a sticky and win anyway. And then while
I was up there, I put the wrong for number
and the ifpost machine that slided my card and so
of course it sent my card back to the bank
(34:51):
where they where I worked, and they said come your
card was followed up at a bank and orpened, and
it was like on a Friday when I.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
Was supposed to Was it worth it? Those shares? Was
of a good concept?
Speaker 1 (35:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (35:06):
Took to me bad. Yeah, I was worth.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
We got to give us to our house. We're going
to keep us your house prize coming away. Let's reaping
that with Karen, I mean Katherine, Sorry Kathryne.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
When did you get caught out pulling a secade?
Speaker 10 (35:23):
So I didn't get called out, but my husband and
I were sheer milking and we had a sixteen year
old girl like just farm assistant, and she said to
my husband that she would couldn't get back to milking
because she had food poisoning from eating a bad chicken,
right right, She said, it's okay, my mom's going to
(35:45):
the doctors to get antibarics for me, so I'll be
for milking in the morning. We're like, oh, yep, okay,
not sure.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Quick turnaround from food poisoning.
Speaker 10 (35:57):
Yeah, yeah, and in the end of it would work.
And then she so she showed up for milking the
next the next morning with her hair dyed and her nails.
Speaker 9 (36:11):
WHI, yeah, that's what.
Speaker 10 (36:12):
You're there, she was like. She still denied it for
a good couple.
Speaker 2 (36:15):
Of days lest wear gloves and a head.
Speaker 10 (36:23):
I don't know where she thought we were. Yeah, God
only knows what she was thinking on her head.
Speaker 5 (36:31):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
I know you and BJ your husband have gotten into
a bit of a night nighttime routine.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
You no, no, no, we don't bring this up. Remember
it got out to the rugby table.
Speaker 3 (36:47):
Yeah, but the Rabbit team already knows about it, so
we might as well continue to talk about it. You
do cute little couple's messages. He puts on the led
light mask manicures like you've had his nail.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
No, no, there are no manicures. Yes.
Speaker 2 (36:59):
I put on like a nice binaormal beat sound in
the background which helps us relax. I dim the lighting,
I put the led mask on, and then I message
his arm.
Speaker 1 (37:07):
And that's it. It's totally masculine and manly. Guys, what
are you talking about.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Well, my husband Ryan and I are absolute creatures of habit.
We get into bed, We do the New York Times
Mini cross word together first thing, and then we have
taken really taken into taken to reading. Yeah, every night,
(37:32):
and for the.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Last like, do you guys read the same book?
Speaker 3 (37:34):
No, different different books, but we'll kind of like will alternate,
so like he'll read the book and then it'll be oh,
that was a good one, you should read that next,
and then I'll be like, oh, you'll love this one
that I'm reading, and then so we kind of go
back and forth. But I realized that Ryan and I
have very different ways of reading because he loves to
read on either his IPEd like digitally or on his
(37:58):
even on his phone like on his I phone, whereas
I am very very old school and I have to
read everything in an actual book form, especially for bed.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
Like it's just good for your eyes.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
Ah, Like you just always know when you've been on
your phone too much, you're just like you're hanging a
little Wait.
Speaker 3 (38:14):
Yeah, you can do the dim light, oh yeah, and
especially on like kindles and stuff. I know that the
lighting on there is kind of socially that you know
it's not as harsh. But I can't do I just
can't do it. Something about it. Just I have to
read a proper paper book.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
I also feel like there's something really like comforting about
the sound of turning a page quite like that, and
it keeps you on, like you're ready to go to sleep.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Stay.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
What I will say is the is the issue is.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Oh honestly, same time every night where you come to
the table where you and Ryan have something totally different.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
The issue is it's not cost effective because buying books
constantly is actually quite expensive. And if Ryan's also then
buying books on kindle, but I'm buying books paperback which
were terrible, So one of us has money, one of
us has to change. Really, so I was curious to
know where do people stand on this. Are people really
(39:18):
really against kindles and or digitally reading, or is paperback
on the way out?
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Do I have to move with the times.
Speaker 2 (39:27):
Maybe you have to move with the times because it
will probably be cheaper if you're both on the kindle.
Speaker 3 (39:32):
Because five dollars you can get them for real cheap.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Okay, so kendle or old school texts for four eight
seven is many need to move with the times.
