Have you ever made love to a podcast?

pot like, because the I either listened to like comedy
podcasts or true crime, either of those leaning themselves towards
like love making.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
I wasn't asking from an experienced point of view. I
was literally just throwing it up because I beat you.
People have beat you. People do.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
I'm sure they have, But I feel like that would
be an accident. I don't feel like you would be like, oh,
I'm really in the mood. I'm going to put it.

I would love to know it is this or.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Maybe it was another podcast like Prove me wrong, Proved

Speaker 3 (01:41):
I'm sure I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Someone is absolutely someone has definitely listened to a podcast
or Getting Down and Dirty.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Hate question question for you on the show today and
you'll hear this, But we talked about house sitting. What
went wrong when you house that? Because producers, here's house
sitting for me while you and I are away yes
next week. And someone had messaged into our Facebook page
to so they found like whips and chains and all
(02:10):
these kinds of things.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
In the drawer.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
You've got them, you know.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
I don't have whips and chains, but I do have
things in my dream and produces here is staying in
the spear room, so she's not staying in our room.
But do you think I need to empty up the
drawers before we go?
Speaker 1 (02:28):
No, this is a trust game. No, if you truly
trust her, you don't need to. He's a part of her.
Please don't go into the room. Although it's like you
can't be told no. It's almost like when someone says
don't do something, your brain automatically wants to do it.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
It's like when you see that don't push this button,
You're like, man, I've got to push I've got to
open the drawer, and open the drawer.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
I feel like you need some surveillance on her. I
think you need to get some cameras.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
I agree.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Why don't you get a little goofy get one, not
a brand drop, but just get one of those security
ones you can follow on your she won't know.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
It'll be so funny.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Although actually you know that there's invading privacy.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Well, I would be careful about way, but you.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Could do it outside. You could, you could do it
outside there.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Yeah, it would be good to know what was going on.
I'd get addicted to it like you are. Though.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
It's honestly like move side reality TV and get you
scary to get wrong. It's so good.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Have you ever seen anything wild on there?
Speaker 4 (03:24):
No?
Speaker 1 (03:25):
But like there are times where people are talking and
I'm like listening, and then I'm like, no, this is wrong,
this is wrong. Like I'm literally third wheeling into a
conversation that I'm not meant to be. So that's probably.
It's quite funny when Beja's friends, like he won't have
told me that friends are coming over for beers and
they rock up with like a big box.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Right, and You're like, oh, okay.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
That's interesting, Okay, cool, sweet, but no, nothing to jose
What are you smiling? Are you planning on doing something? No,
we need to key down again.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Yeah, I know, hope. We were just talking about that.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
We're gonna get you down again, be Jad, missus you
it's cold, but I think you'd be used to it
with your Queen's tune upbringing.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Yeah, and I've got I've got stuff to wrap up
warm me. Although I'm such a terrible packer, like I'm
always come wonefully unprepared for the seasons.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
But you peck way too much, but you don't pack
the right things.
Speaker 3 (04:20):
Yeah, I'll pack like twelve piers of underwear for a
three nights day, but I won't pack a raincoat.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Yeah. Okay, Well, coming up in the podcast today, we
talk driver's license. This is quite funny actually how many
times you had to reset after. There are some new
rules coming to the table with how you set your
license that's coming in July.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
Plus, I have an update for you on the party
that I wasn't invited to that we talked about on
the show.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I know it's oh man, I would love to be
a file on the.
Speaker 3 (04:59):

Speaker 1 (05:01):
And Bellavans was a banger with Christina and Gallera find

in the podcast now, we are going on holiday this weekend.
Met and I. We're not to hear that at less
you want to come, We'll.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Break love to come. I don't know that your husband
will be that will be taking along on your honeymoon.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Do you know what? He would love it? Every time
I propose like a romantic getaway, he starts scheming of
like what mates could come with us, Like he is.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
That guy and he is kind of obsessed with me
and Ryan. So he is.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
Actually he said last night, he's like, we've got to
go and see Medi and Ryan soon bring bring to them.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
Do you know what we'll take VJ Me and Ryan
will take him out to k road that'll be an
experienced for him. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I don't know if it's a good idea anyway. So
we are hitting away this weekend, and I don't know
if this is anyone else at the because some people
are taking holidays this Timmy year. The stress that I'm
feeling like you wouldn't usually call me a hygiene at person,
would you looking at me?
Speaker 5 (06:07):
No?
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I mean, I mean I'm clean, I have shower every day,
but I'm not like you wouldn't think of me as
a sanitizer person all the time?
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Eisively clean?
Speaker 1 (06:18):
No, No, I'm obsessive on some things, but not hygiene. Anyway,
I've become very obsessive with hygiene. Like the last few days,
I feel everyone everyone I know right now is sex.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
I know so many people that are cooped up in
beard with the flu, with COVID, with all sorts at the.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Moment, everything he cold, you name it, like these tummy bugs.
It's it's so hard to dodge. And so being three days.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Hour, I'm getting really really taken.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
How far away? Half fuck? How close did you get
to someone? So because you know that they've just they've
just said that bug and just stay outside okay, and
they make what sure, you wash your hands and I've
got this stuff. You go take my little remy inside.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
He's like, oh my god, tell our early COVID days,
like literally with a broom, Like you can't come any
closer than this broomstick away at it at all times.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
I just I'm just I've been so looking forward to
because it's a honeymoon. Like we got married in March,
this is technically our honeymoon. Has been so excited to
get away with a little toddler, and I just want
to get on their plane, sweetest.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
But I just want to go, they want to go.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
So I've been quite blunt to anyone lately. It's not you,
it's just the second as I did. Just see it, Sally,
because obviously a lot of people going to the airports
through the holiday time. Apparently there's a term that airport
workers have for people who get to the gates really early.
Are you one of those? Or are you pretty relaxed?
You cal calm collector.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
I'm a little too relaxed. I have gotten tighter because
I'm married to someone who's quite pedantic about giving. But
even he is, like he's not super crazy about getting
to the eight on time.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
So apparently airline staff have quite a salty name for
this kind of traveler, and it's.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Called gate gate lice.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I love, and basically, yeah, it's just passengers who crowd
around or line up at a gate at an airport,
completely blocking the boarding area and preventing first and business
class passengers from being able to get on the plane
when they're allowed to. They hate it the way that
they prefer that than the late ones though.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
I know, but there is something funny about people that
go and line up desperately for the gate when it's like,
you know, there'scated seating and you're just going to get
to your seat. When you get to your seat.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
Mary J.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
Mady and PJ the podcasts.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
I saw that the government is cracking down on waitlists
for drivers' licenses by scaling back the eligibility for free
test resets. So from the eighth of July, applic it's
for class one theory and practical tests will only be
eligible for one free reset and will be required to
pay for any additional tests.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Well.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Obviously, license conversions will no longer be eligible for free resets,
so guys, this means you have to take your teas seriously.
Speaker 3 (09:14):
In fairness, it is pretty wild that you were just
allowed to do it as many times as you wanted before.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Trust that is true, and now it's just clogged up,
weightless and stuff. So it makes sense that they're doing this.
How did you go?
Speaker 3 (09:27):
The driver? Do you know what you as an adult
have been terrified to get in the car with me?
I was no, I didn't fail. I didn't fail. I
passed passed.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
Now you're just a rehtic. You're you're a reddick, like
in a good way, but you're just you're quite reactive.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
I would say I was also just a terrible learner
like I was. I was a terrible student right.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Produce a hereal on the bottles.
Speaker 7 (10:01):
I was looking for a speeding sound affairs, So that
was driving.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
My mum decided she was going to be the one
to teach me because my dad and I trying to
learn together would have just been a recipe for disaster.
I do remember at one point trying to do a
health start and failing and failing and failing. Outside of
the supermarket. It was a massive line clogged up behind me,
and in a fit of rage, I got out of
the car slammed the door, walked around to the driver's
(10:29):
side and team you can drive to Mum.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
I set my theory and failed theory. Tiund Yes, I
feel like no one failed White Day. But then I
absolutely nailed there around one Mom and Dad's toy on
a plant.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Brilliant little beauty that car.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
But I was like, if I said it.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Again now, I don't know, I'd be terrible. It's made
so long, it should be so bad.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
I know what I'm doing. I know what I'm doing
on the road, But if I were to sit there
in a properties, how I God, maybe we should research, as.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I say, do we reset?
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Why does it even have to become a competition? Join us?
Speaker 3 (11:08):
Then will hit really tense? And also then we'll do it,
and then we'll kind of question should we be driving
on the road.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
The podcast, we've just been talking about the government cracking
down on wait list for driver's license, so basically you'll
only be eligible for one free reset now, which is
we're saying it kind of makes sense, Like I think.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
So if you fail, you fail. You can't just fail.
You can't get as many times around as you want
until you randomly pass it.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
We wanted to know on the hurt so you can
tax four four A seven. How many times did you
fail your driver's lie?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
And I failed twice on my restricted. First one, I
was way too nervous and drove on the footpath while
getting out of the car park. They failed them in
two minutes. The examiner was like, what are you doing?
The second one, I couldn't pow do a parallel for
some reason. I just couldn't get into the spot. Restricted
was very hard for me.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
I mean, parallels at the best of times are pretty challenging.
I thought I nailed them, but actually I do struggle
quite a bit.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
We tested you on the road.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
I know, all right, he's got a mel on one
hundred hats high mel How many times did you fail?
Speaker 8 (12:20):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (12:21):
Look, am I restricted for the first time. My parents
went to Grease. I failed three things and he said, well,
that's sad. And then as we're heading to the depot,
he saw my cute knees with blonde hair and blue
eyes and just decided to give it to me. She
was so beautiful and I'm so thankful again. My parents
(12:43):
have just gone to Grease. I set my file and
my parents had just come back from Fiji, Unfortunately the
instructor got out and my parents had paid the Diesel
tex So between my parents' holidays and me getting a license,
it was just a fail.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Really tough period of life for female.
Speaker 10 (13:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Also not being taken on the family holidays to Grease
or Fiji and you foul your license.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Al's gotta definitely oh under the definitely what happened with you?
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Hi?
Speaker 11 (13:17):
So I did not even have to technically sit the test?
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Really?
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Why?
Speaker 3 (13:22):
I yeh?
Speaker 11 (13:23):
A phone call hit? The man got a phone call
maybe two minutes into the test, and he said, okay,
we need to go back to my house. I need
to sell some chickens.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
What what?
Speaker 10 (13:35):
I drove him to his house and I sat in
the calf maybe ten minutes while he sold the chickens.
And he came back with a bag of person and
for me and was like, okay, let's just go back
to the starting point. And then that was that was
that I got more restricted.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Wait, hang on live chickens?
Speaker 11 (13:54):
Yeah, he must have had some kind of chicken farm.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
Oh surely, surely that should be sort of separate thing
with the two jobs. Don't sort of cross over one.
Oh my god gives you?
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Yeah?
Speaker 11 (14:10):
Oh sorry, you probably shouldn't be taking a sixteen year
old to your heart.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
No, don't take it to your house. Don't live chickens
while she sits in the car waiting for you. This
is Wild.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Mady and PJ.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
Mady and PJ the podcast The Heads of the Heads.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
But right now it is fast becoming our favorite time
of the week, Battle of the Hats, where we have
one artist and we have to come to the table
with what we believe is their best song. Now, the
artist of the week is none other than the absolute
powerhouse of vocals, Christina Aguilera. I know she's on your favorites.
(15:00):
I'm gonna be honest, She's not like one of my
favorite artists. I could absolutely ignowledge she's got a fantastic voice.
But I didn't find this as hard as you like.
I had one that came to mind pretty quickly.
Speaker 10 (15:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
I just tossed and turned and I'm still tossing and
turning over which one I was going to put up
for my pick for Battle of the Hits. So I
go first. This week, you go first. Christiegilia has honestly
been the soundtrack to so many moments of my life.
I remember being thirteen and doing dance routines to what
a Girl Wants in my Bedroom.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Oh that's a good one.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Damn it A sure fire assigned that I was a
rageous homosexual. I also remember the time I took a
ten hour round trip train journey when I was eighteen,
and I accidentally only had one CD with me and
it was Stripped, the incredible album that Christina released in
two thousand and two, and so I listened to that
(15:56):
CD on repeat the entire train journey. So I had
to pick a song from strip But which one do
I go go for? There are so many amazing songs
from that album, but there's just one that is just
always speaks to my heart. It was an inspirational ballad
(16:16):
that was praised for Christina aguiller as strong vocals on
the track. It reached really high numbers on the Billboard
Hot one hundred. It is such an incredible song. My
pick the Battle of the Hits this week is the
voice with it and you'll find the string that will
(16:50):
God your way if you will learn to beg in
to try to.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Okay, you spiels done. I forgot that She's sung song

(17:23):
is Genie in a Bottle. Okay, I know it was simple.

about this one is I love her so much that

Speaker 4 (20:19):
Some medj the podcast that.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Around this time yesterday, I was telling you a story. Yeah,
I have some friends who are leaving the country and
this weekend they are having a leaving party. I know
this because we're hosting some of our friends round for
a little wee midwinter Christmas late lunch on Saturday, and
(20:48):
one of the people that is coming to the Midwinter
Christmas said to us, well, this is great. Let's do
it in the afternoon because then we can all go
to the leaving party afterwards, to which Ryan and I replied,
leaving party. We had not been invited, and he said,
just come along anyway, and we would we were going.
We cannot just turn up to this random party like that,
(21:13):
just would it? Just couldn't. We couldn't do it. No,
But since then I had I had messaged one of
the one of the people and that's leaving and kind
of just thrown out a little cast, a little line. Yes,
it was a bit of bait on it, a little
bit of bait on it to see what would come back.
(21:33):
Here's the thing you should know about me. I'm not
very good at fishing, so you.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Wanted to throw it out and see if maybe off
the back of that comment you give an invite.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
I could snag a marlin or something.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Tell you this much. There's nothing on the end of
the line. I messaged him and said, will we see
you before you go? And he replied, I'm sure you will.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
Stop it.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Oh my god, is that I thought you were going
to get an invite. I thought this was going to
be the moment you're going to go. He heard it
through the radio and he invited me.
Speaker 3 (22:08):
So this was earlier in the week, and then you
and I talked about this yesterday, and then literally twenty
minutes later to say, hey, what are you and Rite
doing on Saturday night? We're having living drinks. Come along.
And now I'm petrified that either he heard it or
(22:29):
someone else heard it, and somehow he did.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
He without a doubt, absolutely, because I don't know. He said,
I'm sure you will I don't know that was that
message came through, because that's just an end of That's
an end of conversation. There's nothing coming.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
So I had let it go. But now I feel
like I've got a petty invite. And so now my
question is do I go party?
Speaker 1 (22:51):
No? No, you cannot. You cannot. It depends.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
I love a party. Though I love a party.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Why have we feeling so much second awkwardness? Do you
think I just said a thought? Maybe he didn't invite
you because you didn't invite him to the Christmas?
Speaker 3 (23:11):
Do you think what goes around comes around?
Speaker 10 (23:13):
Right?
Speaker 1 (23:13):
It goes around comes around. Although his party, I'm assuming
is slightly larger than the dinner.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Is that right? That that is true? Anyway, I've got
no shame and I'm going to the party.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
Are you guying? Are you really?
Speaker 3 (23:29):
I'm going to go?
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Are you not?
Speaker 1 (23:32):
It's going to come out later on in the night. Man,
I heard you talking about on the radio. I'm so sorry, bro,
You're always invited.
Speaker 4 (23:41):
Maddy, J Many and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
That I love the story. It is unfolding to be
rather entertaining.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
So you and I taking a week off next week
and going on holiday. It's been a very busy start
to the year.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
She's been a hictic start to the year. So you
get a break from us, you will welcome.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
And so you're hitting off on what is essentially your honeymoon.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
It is.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Yes, with a two year old, you can go wrong
in can go wrong.
Speaker 3 (24:11):
Run and I just getting down the country a little bit.
We're hitting to to do her for a couple of nights,
going to go to the hot pool. It's going to
get beautiful, mountain bikes. Yeah, We're going to do lots
of activities down there. And so while we're away, I thought,
what do I do with the dog? You know, weird
because we're staying in a hotel and stuff. So yeah, yeah,
(24:31):
too hard for him. There is a kennel that he loves.
It's like on a farm. But I thought, oh, maybe
there's actually an easier option. Maybe I can just see
if someone wants to house set. And then I thought
producer Sira, she's a twenty something year old flatting Maybe
her and her partner would love to get away from
the flat for a couple of days and go on
come in house set. And I know they love dogs.
So all those things started to add up, And so
(24:53):
I asked Sarah would she come in house sit for us?
Speaker 1 (24:56):
And now I've watched her emotions along this. She was
so excited it initially when you actually asked her, She's like,
oh my god, yes, And I've noticed there is all
the details of unfolded. Over the days, that sort of
excitement has quickly switched to nerves.
Speaker 7 (25:13):
I'm sweating right now. The more I think about it,
the more I'm like, what if I kill made McLean's dog.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Dog?
Speaker 1 (25:21):
Do You'll be fine? It's just another day.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
She also said to me, I do spill a lot.
That was fair, and I was like, don't spill at
my house, thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
Yes, I have rit enough.
Speaker 7 (25:36):
I've stained the carpet in my mum's house, every single
room across my years of living there.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Anyway, okay, well with that in mind, very detailed list
I have.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
I've given things multiple pages with instructions for the house
and for the dog. Loveless, you've had a look through
anything they're ringing, alarm bells, anything.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
No.
Speaker 7 (26:00):
I like all the little extras. You know, there's a
heat pump.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Can you use it all the time? Are you? Are
you precious on power.
Speaker 3 (26:10):
Nah, use it whenever you want. Okay, that's fine.
Speaker 7 (26:15):
And this streaming not all of them. You've listed what
you have there.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
I just wanted you to know what you could, what
you hat.
Speaker 7 (26:23):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Yeah, but now I'm nervous. Now I'm nervous because you're nervous.
Speaker 7 (26:28):
No, it'll be fine. Have you had someone house sit
before and did it go?
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (26:31):
Yeah, we're fine. Okay, Well but what we did was
we put it on Facebook and asked people earlier on
our hit stripe Facebook page what happened when you house that?
And I think that's what's maybe nervous.
Speaker 1 (26:45):
There are so many messages coming through. Okay, house sitting
on a farm recently the chicks got the salks and
stopped laying and I got zapped on an electric fence
while feeding the horse, not even for a dfer, but
that place I learned how to be a real farm girl.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Have an electric case of our place. This one go.
This one from Debo's house sitting just before Christmas. The
wee dogs that are barking at the front door side
investigated as you do. I need to see elderly neighbour
stark naked getting his Morning paper and doing a few
stretches in his driveway.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
What about this one Casey said the twenty sixteen Cai
Colder earthquake myself the three dogs said to pile into
my Toyota Yaris and be evacuated to high I don't
think about natural disaster. I don't think you're in a
fault line. I think you're okay.
Speaker 3 (27:25):

paint and handcuffs in the drawer. Let me just tell

Speaker 2 (28:44):
So my folks are currently in Thailand. They've got a
pure bred persian in a fully enclosed yard. Yeah, the
cat cannot get out, but it turns out he can
get out. Today I discovered he had managed to escape
into the neighbour's yard. They've got a labrador. There's also
(29:07):
a whole pile of wire on the yard. Oh no,
So I had to go a block over to physically
remove him from the yard. Got him home and I
found a little bit of blood. Then I noticed he
was limping, so I took him into the vets. Today
he has had his tail and the bone.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
No, and your parents get home tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
Have you have you told them? Have you told them? Tanita?
Or is it going to be a sort of welcome
home announcement.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
Zoe's joining us end when you.
Speaker 13 (30:16):
So we're going back twenty two years.
Speaker 11 (30:19):
So I was sixteen.
Speaker 13 (30:21):
And my good school friend whose mom was the English
teacher and dad was the headmaster. They went to France
and they were like, you can house it for the
week because they had sky TV. Right, this is a
novel thing, like oh yeah, amazing. And I was kind
of going through a dating a bad boy phase, and
so I invited my boyfriend around. When I was house sitting.
Speaker 14 (30:45):
He bought a lot of people who had never met.
There was a big piss up.
Speaker 13 (30:50):
Everybody got very drunk. They drunk all of the dad's
like fancy expensive dad booth.
Speaker 14 (30:58):
The pissed then nag into the carpet.
Speaker 13 (31:03):
They tried on the mom's clothes.
Speaker 2 (31:05):
She was the English teacher, and I remember.
Speaker 14 (31:08):
Them coming downstairs in all of her clothes. They let
the pet rabbit out toothpaste, and they drew penises with
toothpaste all over the bathroom walls. They stole all the
DVDs because obviously this is twenty two years ago.
Speaker 12 (31:25):
So there was tvd's, and they also stole my shoes,
and then I kind of woke up. However, many hours
later after this silly teenage alcohol binge and.
Speaker 4 (31:39):
Just cried, okay, was.
Speaker 8 (31:44):
They gave it?
Speaker 14 (31:45):
Feel sick about it like I still feel about it.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Yes, I don't blame you, Oh my gosh. Okay, Well,

He doesn't talk to me anymore.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
So let them be listening again of what not to do.
Speaker 7 (32:09):
I have to see you every day.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
I'm not going to do anything not.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
Many the podcast.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Well, welcome back to another round of Melford Money Matters.
Murray Harris, head of Kiwi Savor, is joining us for
another week from Milford to discuss investing money issues, misconceptions
about all things investments and beyond. And look he's here
to answer our questions. But remember this is only in
FORO to help you understand more and is not official
(32:41):
financial advice. How are you married? I'm very well.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Thanks, nice to see you again.
Speaker 8 (32:47):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
We haven't scared you off from other weeks.
Speaker 8 (32:53):
Hard questions yet, let's crag.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Into it for another week. What would you say is
some considerations If we're looking at starting out as an investor, well.
Speaker 8 (33:04):
One of the key things you need to think about
is what's the goal for the money you're going to invest,
because that will determine how long you want to invest for,
so your time frame, because if it's a short term goal,
you don't want to take too much risk because you
don't want to risk blowing that money up, So you
want to take less risk and a longer term goal
you can take more risk.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
So will some people just invest to get enough money
to go on a big holiday or something like that?
Speaker 8 (33:28):
Yeah, that's a good example, right, So you might have
a goal maybe so you want to take the family
on a big trip to Disneyland, and you think, well,
we're going to do that in three years time, let's
invest some money. I mean, you could hit money in
a savings account, but you might want to invest some
as well because you might grow it faster. So in
that case, you might want to cash or a conservative
fund because you can't handle the ups and downs of
(33:49):
share markets, so you want to be more invested in
cash and bonds and conservative investments.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
Yeah, you talk about risk, and obviously that's a huge
thing for people to consider. What do people need to
think about and consider when it comes to.
Speaker 8 (34:00):
Rest, Well, again, it comes back to your goal and
your time frame, right, So the more time you've got
you can afford the ups and downs of share markets
because you know they do move around, and so if
you're going to take more risks, you're going to more
likely be investing in shares and share markets of global companies.
And we've all seen every day share markets go up
and down. So if you want to get that money
(34:21):
out in a year's time, the market might be down,
but if you've got ten years time, well you know
ups and downs of markets, that money should grow over time.
So yeah, the more risk you can take, the more
you can grow your money. But there's more ups and downs.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Now we've obviously been attacking myths and the segment, and
I'd say this is one of them. Do you need
to be rich to be an investor?
Speaker 8 (34:41):
Well, that's an easy one. No, you don't. And actually
being an investor might mean that you can get.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Rich right right, because you're for us.
Speaker 8 (34:53):
You learn the power of compounding interest in compounding returns.
So yeah, no, that's a myth. And you can get
started from as little as a thousand dollars, so you know,
you've got managed funds out there, and we've got a
series of managed funds separate from kiwisaver. You can start
with one thousand dollars, right, So you don't have to
put a lot of money in, put your toe in
the water, learn a little bit, because there's nothing like
(35:13):
having skin in the game to learn how things go
and watching your investments go up and down, and then
if you're comfortable, you can add a little bit more.
And so you know, you can add to an investment
fund just the same as you do with your kipisaber
regular contributions or just lump some money when you've got
you know, when your finances allow it.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
So what do you need to get started and where
should people start?
Speaker 8 (35:33):
Well, good starting point is to go and have a
look at the websites of you know, the fund managers
out there, and you know, we've got a heap of
information on our website, so you can go in there.
You can look at the types of funds that we offer.
Every fund manager is going to offer a range of
funds from low risk cash type funds through the high risk,
more aggressive international share funds or you know specialist funds.
(35:55):
So go and have a look there. You'll see the
type of funds that are offered, what they're invested in,
how much risk they take, and get all that information.
And then most managers are going to have some sort
of advice available, whether that's an online tool you can
check your risk profile on or talk to an advisor.
Speaker 1 (36:13):
Amazing Well, Murray from Melford, thank you so much for
joining us for our Moneymatter segment. And if you want
to know more about Keepy Saver and Melford, you can
hear to Milford Asset dot com see their product disclosure
statement and if you've got any questions for next week
you can text them through our four four eight seven.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
Maddy and PJ Mady and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 1 (36:36):
I think it was a while ago you said Maddie
that you would love to be able to do a
taste test, blindfolded taste test between coke and pepsi. You're like,
I could tell in a second, absolutely, now, Lot.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
I really truly do think I can. What I will
say is that I'm not an expert when it comes
to pepsi, so I'm not great at distinguishing between the
different pepsis. But Cox I know really well, and I
feel like I'll definitely know if it's a coke or
a pepsi.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
Okay, let's do this. Let's see if Maddy McLean is
full of it or if he really does know his
soft drinks. So, without further ado, can you please put
the blindfold on and can produce it. Bronte come into
the studio with four different glasses of beverages. Now we're
gonna have a range of pepsi, Coke, no sugar, Pepsi
(37:25):
Max and Coach Coke not Coach, and out of those four,
you have to tell us which one you think is.
If you drink the macay I can, I can? How
are you feeling?
Speaker 3 (37:34):
Are you confident I'm feeling confident. Like I said, the
difference between pepsy and pepsi max, I think I will
struggle with Yeah, but I feel like I'll definitely know
the coke, I'll know the cocono sugar, and I'll definitely
know if it's pepsi or coke.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
Okay, now here is glass number one? Okay, it's not confident.
Speaker 3 (37:55):
I need to I think I need to try the
others before I make it.
Speaker 1 (37:59):
Okay, all right, so you've had a sap okay of
number one? All right? Now number two it should be
a ribbed glass. What do you think that is? That
he's just doing a live taste teste between the beverages coke,
no sugar, Pepsi max, pepsi and coke. Okay, so you've
had your second beverage going on to number Three's that
(38:21):
I suppose that start to movege together. You need the
coffee beans. Like what you do when you smell lots
of perfumes. You probably need to crunch on a coffee bean. Okay.
He's onto his fourth glass, which is coming a wine glass. Okay,
how are you feeling?
Speaker 3 (38:33):
Okay? I know that that last one was one of
the pepsis. I'm locking in regular pepsi for the fourth one?
Speaker 1 (38:41):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (38:41):
Can I get number three again?
Speaker 1 (38:43):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (38:45):
We can be here all day. That's I reckon, that's
full coke.
Speaker 1 (38:49):
You think number three is full coke?
Speaker 3 (38:52):
Number two yeah, okay, that's a coke no sugar.
Speaker 1 (38:56):
You think number two is coke no sugar?
Speaker 3 (38:58):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (38:59):
And so what do you want to lock? And for
number one? Pepsi max is your answer? For number one? Okay?
All right, you've locked in all your answers. Are you
ready for the reveal?
Speaker 3 (39:09):
I'm ready?
Speaker 1 (39:10):
Okay. So for number one, you see pepsi max. The
answer was coke, no sugar.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
No, it was not.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
It was I kid you not? Okay? For number two
you said coke, no sugar. The answer was coke.
Speaker 3 (39:26):
Okay. Well, at least I was in the right wheelhouse
for that.
Speaker 1 (39:32):
Uh huh. And so for number three you said coke,
the answer was pepsy. Oh no, I'm not even making
this up, I promise. And then number four you see
pips and it was pepsi.
Speaker 3 (39:46):
Man, I got.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
Zero out of four.
Speaker 3 (39:52):
That is wild to me. I really, I really thought
I was going to nail that.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
Do you think individually it would have been easier.
Speaker 3 (40:00):
Maybe yeah, maybe just want Maybe it is really bad.
It doesn't even closed so bad.
Speaker 4 (40:11):
Median p J, the podcast that's
