Oh God, I'm sorry. Here's the podcast.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
Enjoy many in the podcast.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
I'm always really curious on social media by who chooses
to follow me on my pages.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Don't do it. It's it's never It's not gonna you
feel good in the long run, because it might help
your ego for a bit, and then you'll be like, oh,
hang about what why are they not following me anymore?
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Yes, but also I'm like, oh, this person follows me.
That's interesting that they've made a conscious effort to follow me.
Like sometimes I look at the person and I'm like,
I don't feel like we get anything in comment. You're
my target audience. I don't think you'll be I don't
think you'll enjoy the content that I'm serving up.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
But maybe it's sheit curiosity and they want to follow
you for educational purposes, or.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
They're like hate watching. But I saw a notification come
up on Instagram today that I had a new follower,
and it's interesting. How is that, and I want to
know whether I should be really offended by this or
if this is just they're just following a bunch of people.
(05:53):
Oh no, wait, no, they're not following a bunch of people.
They're following nineteen people and I am one of them.
Speaker 6 (06:00):
Who is it?
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Auckland weight loss surgeon?
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Oh my god? Maybe they saw do you remember when
there was that fabricated AI ad where it was you
with the weight loss gummies? Maybe they saw that and
they thought it was.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Really I just saw the notification and I went, now
are you following?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
And you checked your dms?
Speaker 3 (06:28):
Have they reached out, Hey, Maddie would love to collab
with you. We think you'd be the perfect candidate.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Who else do they do they follow?
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Let me have a look. They follow nineteen people? They
do follow Okay, they I don't say. Now they follow Breakfast,
the show that I used to work on. Okay, okay,
they do follow a couple of other TV ands.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Maybe they're just looking for media opportunities and maybe that's
exactly what they've just achieved.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
So I shouldn't be offended.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
Don't be offended.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Don't think this is them reaching out to Have you
thought about this?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I mean, just keep an eye on your d because
they may reach out. But do you know you can
people used to get quite fixated on those apps you
could see, like followers. It's just it's toxic. No, no,
I want to read into a base.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
I don't read it.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
I just take it as another follow up. You good
to go, Mary and Mary and the podcast. We did
just get back from holiday at the end of last
week and we're in Australia and on our final night
because we'd actually been in an apartment set up from
(07:50):
the week, but the night before we had a really
early flight the next day, so we were staying at
the airport hotel and we thought, look, let's make the
most of it last night on holiday at least get
room service. So we hadn't had that in the apartment.
This is something, yeah, a little bit indulgent about just
(08:10):
ordering some nice meals.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
What do you get? What do you get?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Well, there were options, and I think because we'd had
quite a few pub meals, we kind of strayed away
from your typical burgers and fries. Are we curry?
Speaker 6 (08:24):
I just probably not what you can usually.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
Think of in a room service environment, but it was good. However,
it did take a while. I think we kind of
ordered in a peak hour time, right, and so we were
getting hungry. And when that fateful room service arrived on
the door, I was like a salivating pig. I was
so excited. I sprinted to the door and I opened
(08:49):
it and then she was like okay, and there was
like quite a few plates. I had to sort of
grab off her and or she gave you've got the
big tray, and then I had to sign my name.
It's like, yep, Cole, thank you. She's like, do you
want to just add that to the room? Yes, great,
thank you a little. Did I know that at the
time that the door was open and I was conversing
(09:09):
with this lady, she had full view into our room, right.
Our toddler, Charlie, who's a busy boy at the best
of times, happened to be going through the contents of
our suitcase. And not only did he start just going
(09:31):
through all my underwear, which, let me tell you, by
the end of the trip, like it's not my finest
underwear on the top I'm talking Bridget Jones, like high
riding beige panties. He started going through sanitary items, throwing
them out like crayons, like literally like bullets going across
the room. This is all going down. I'm like, oh,
I can't stop. So I had to like sign and.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
It's awkward, right because there's so much going on.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
It's so much going on. I'm like, look, let's just
get through this. I'll deal with you and then we
can deal with them. Meanwhile, minstrel cuts flung through the air,
or he may as well have just unloaded all of
my personal items for her to see. He might as
well have just taken them a handed them over. So
I like, I shut that door as quick as I
could in a polite manner, and I had to just go, Charlie,
(10:13):
come on, let's just pull this back.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
And the question is, because you were so hungry, what
came first, the food or the cleaning up of everything?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
That is the food? The floors are Miss.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and Pj, the podcast.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
The heads and the meantime, We wanted to know when
you were a child willingly or unwillingly threw you under
the bus. We were on holiday getting room service on
our final night, and as I opened the door and
I was communicating with the lovely lady at the door.
My son decided to go through all of the contents
of our suitcase, including my underwear, sanitary items and everything
(10:54):
embarrassing inside a suitcase that you can imagine.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Do you know what it reminds me of? It reminds
me of this classic photo that has seemed like a
on social media of a yes mum said. I was
brought into my kid's daycare to explain because the kids
were all asked to draw pictures of what their parents
did for work. They drew a picture of what very
much looked like a mum on a pole with money
(11:19):
being thrown at her. But it was actually the mum
clean people's houses, and so the pole was actually like
a broom chief.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
To go onto the class, Lauran is joining us, Hello.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
Hello, how are you today?
Speaker 1 (11:38):
You know when you get thrown under the bus.
Speaker 7 (11:40):
This is going back a few years ago. I was
very farming in Canterbury and their neighbor it was actually
Frank Ellen before we're all black all right.
Speaker 1 (11:50):
Oh.
Speaker 7 (11:52):
He was moving sheep down the road and it was
about forty degrees. We had the windows down in the
car and my lovely four year old Ewan was sitting
in the back seating arm on the windows, saw what
you do and we pulled up along sort because we
couldn't get past the sheep. And he looks gim He
just looks across at Frank lightly. He just goes, sheep, sugar,
(12:18):
did you di?
Speaker 3 (12:19):
Did you wind the what you do? I couldn't go,
said to sit awkwardly. There's no I love that so good.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
We're going to help. Pet's about your coming away, matkay,
thank you?
Speaker 3 (12:35):
I love this teach four four eights. Even while supermarket
shopping by then three year old ran down the aisle
to the alcohol section and shadowed at the top of
his lungs, Mom, you're out of wine. You need more.
Many In the podcast, the People's the People's Poll, everybody
comes together. It's the people. Why are you British?
Speaker 5 (12:59):
And there?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
I don't know. I think I was too embarrassed to
actually sing it with my proper voice. You know what's
more embarrassing listening back to that with me trying to
do an intersecent. Anyway, it is time for the People's Poll.
We do this on the show every day. It could
be a news article, or it could be something going
on our lives today. There's actually a new trend which
is gaining popularity, particularly across the ditch in Australia amongst
(13:22):
the boomer generation. Apparently, boomers are embracing a new movement
called ski or spending kids inheritance, wh're parents actively set
out to spend all their money so there's nothing left
for their children. While the seemingly cruel mindset is obviously
angering lots of Gen zs whose only hope of getting
(13:43):
on the property ladder might be inheritance, others say the
problems with young people who just expect to get this
money from their family and not have to do any work,
and they just, you know, they don't. They don't have
to put in any hard yards, they just get the cash.
So I thought we could beg the question today, do
you think think you can spend your own Sorry, do
(14:05):
you have to pass down the inheritance? Well? Can you
just spend it yourself? Yep, it's basically the Christian thoughts.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
I say, live your best life. If that's the money
that you've that you have worked hard to save up,
go spend it. I think of my parents who never
did an oe. They got married when they were twenty
Mum was twenty three when she had me, and now
they are off every year, gallivanting around the world, finally
being able to travel and seeing the world. And I say,
(14:33):
good on them, go do it.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
So when they don't leave, you assent me fine with that?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Yeah, I say, yeah, I don't really think about the
consequences of their.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I think if you bring children into this world, you
know it is part of your duty to set them
up as much as you can when you depart this place.
And so yes, obviously you need enough for you to survive.
But I think if you have the means to leave
hime money, then yes, that is your obligation and you
should do that.
Speaker 5 (15:03):
Now.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
If I have a kid, that bugger is not getting
a cent.
Speaker 6 (15:07):
The podcast the Big Pools Pole, everybody comes together.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
It's the big.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
Can you spend your kid's inheritance? Is the question today
after a new trend is sweeping the boomer generation called
skiing spending kids inheritance. We want to know your thoughts
on this. Are you in favor or are you against?
For eight seven, I.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Said live your best life, but you were saying, if
you've got the money, you've got to pass it on
to the future generations.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
And with reason like Obviously, you need to be able
to survive yourself. So I think if you do bring
a children to the world, it's nice to be able
to do what you can to help them set them
up for the future.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
I will say you're in the minority.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
I am, well, I don't think there was one vote.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
It was one that said, if you do have the money,
then why not give them their inheritance now, which is
kind of on.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Your side, kind of but not really. All the other
messages I read like this, parents should spend up and
enjoy their hard earned cash. Money left and wills almost
always causes arguments, no matter how big or small the inheritance.
That's true, of course, in your own money. I didn't
expect nor receive anything from my parents. The money they
worked hard for was for them. So enjoy life, especially
in retirement.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
Yescus. I'm with medi Live your best life, set up
your kids with the education and start saving them for
them while they're little, and then spend your hard earned
cash before you kick the bucket.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
But still, you'd love to have a little hair.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
It would be nice.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Betty and PJ the podcast Many and pj's group Therapy.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
The maintime, it's time to talk about our problems. You
can text four four eight seven if there's something you're
dealing with in your life and you're like, I just
need some external advice. I need some help this week.
Medi is to do with a long distance but a lessonship.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Which you've done before. Peage, How long were you and
B doing long distance for him?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
We met at the end of twenty seventeen and then
I came back from Australia at twenty twenty one, so
over three years. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I a bit of
a vetron.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Now, yeah, I don't think you that I don't think
this applies to you specifically. I don't know that your
experience will be able to kind of influence your thoughts
on this experience.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
It's quite me what have you got?
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Someone wrote into us at the head stock cot Z
it actually which you can also do, and said, Hi
many MPJ. It's great to have you back because I
need your help.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Well your help, I mean, oh damn, I stuff that up.
Keep going, It's.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
Okay, good start to group therapy. I've been in a
long distance relationship for over two years. He's an amazing
guy and he makes me so happy that there's a
catch after two years, we have never actually met in person.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Oh there.
Speaker 3 (18:03):
We do chat twice daily and things are very serious
between us. My gut instinct tells me he's genuine, but
unforeseen circumstances have meant ween long distance only. I feel
I'm in too deep to give up now, and he
is promising me the weight will be over soon and
he's fully committed to our relationship. Close friends and family
(18:26):
don't want to believe he's real, though, and I feel
so torn now between my heart and my head. Am
I just setting myself up to be heard again? Or
should I believe in my gut instinct that this guy
is real?
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Man, I just have red flags straight out the gates
that you haven't seen. I'd understand if we were still
in COVID pandemic time. And yes, you know there were
genuine barriers of being able to meet, but after two years. Look,
I'm also one to follow my gut and my intuition.
And if you genuinely, really really, I feel you know
a lot of love for this person. I think you've
(19:04):
got to meet them. You've got to pull the bandage off.
I think you've got a demand to know. Why have
they not been able to see each other. Do we
know that like I think.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
No, I don't. I don't have don't have the answer
for that. Just unforeseen circumstances, he's saying.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I would say, you need to see them a set
and you need to do it in a safe way
as well. Organize a meet up where you're in a
public place or something like that, or you have a
friend nearby.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
You know what I think of that movie. He's just
not that into you. And the advice they give is
that if a guy is into you, or if someone
is into you, they will make the effort right. They
will make the effort to go on the date, They
will make the effort to call you, they will make
the effort to be romantic. If this guy was really
genuine and a real person and was into you the
(19:51):
way that you think they are. After two years, I
just can't imagine what has kept you back for that long.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
I just two years of putting in the ground work
and not being able to see the person. I don't
think my OCD wouldn't let that happen. I'd have to
see that that person, so I personally would demand it.
Maddy saying, maybe let it go, because if they really
wanted you. Just know they would have They would have
made it happen.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
I think run girl, run, oh oh, hand to that.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
If you've got any advice, maybe you've got some experience.
May you've been in a similar situation. We'd love to
hear your thoughts on this. Maybe there's another angle that
we're not seeing it.
Speaker 3 (20:30):
Maybe we've been too harsh, Maybe we are being too unfair.
Peach Well, you're being unfair.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
I think I'm buying a glass.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Many and PJ the podcast Many and Pj's group therapy.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
In the meantime, she's an interesting one this week, mcclaims.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Yes, I'm going to read you what we've been sent.
I manage your help. I've been in a long distance
relationship for over two years. He's an amazing guy, but
after two years, we've never actually met in person. We
chat twice daily and things are very series between us.
Unfaseen circumstances have meant we haven't been able to meet
in person. He tells me that he's fully committed to
our relationship. I feel really torn though, between my heart
(21:11):
and my head. Am I just setting myself up to
be heard again? Or should I believe in my gut
instinct that this guy is genuine.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
You say, run, I say, I feel like she needs
closure after two years, at least demand a safe catch up.
But it sounds like that's really hard to do. We
want to hear thoughts. Oh, eight hundred hats it's got
a Marcus, Marcus, you have experience with this?
Speaker 8 (21:34):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Hello, yes, hi Marcus.
Speaker 8 (21:37):
Hi sorry with you? So, yeah, So I was traveling
in New Zealand and two dozen and eight yep, And
on my very last day, I couldn't go on a
date with this guy and I only had his email
and I had to leave the country because there was
the end of my holiday. So we kept chatting and
(21:59):
then we kind of end up on this relationship for
eighteen months. So I left New Zealand without meeting him.
And yeah, so I wasn't ready to come to New.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
Zealand because you know, when you move overseas, you have
to sort it out your life, do all that kind
of stuff.
Speaker 8 (22:19):
So I was postponing it. I postponed it twice, like
I can't do it. I can't do it right now,
I'm not ready. So yeah, so I feel that this
could be something like that.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
So you're saying there are genuine reasons why you can't
see someone after that long.
Speaker 9 (22:40):
Yeah, because you don't know where where are they? Like
where's this guy living at? Like which country? Like you
have just sorted out your life before you move.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
So yeah, that's a very good point. A lot of
people are texting in saying we need more details and
we didn't actually bring this up in the food spreak.
Have they facetimed? Have they video called? Now you have
done some digging, Matty McClay.
Speaker 3 (23:05):
I reached out to the person who had messaged in
and they want to stay anonymous, which we absolutely respect.
But they told me that they have not in the
last two years face timed or video called. So she
has never seen this guy before. It is in she's
(23:26):
never been able to face video call with this person, which.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
That does change everything for me.
Speaker 3 (23:31):
I think it changes. I mean I I was pretty
firm on you have to get out of this beforehand,
and hearing that, as much as it breaks my heart
to say this, I think you've got to get out.
I don't think that this person is coming to this
with genuine intent. There's no reason in twenty twenty four
that you cannot video call with someone in two years.
(23:55):
The meeting is one thing they've not meaning.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
That's yeah, not knowing that I couldn't make such a
strong call. But now that we know that there's been
no FaceTime, no video chat, I'm exactly with you, and
I think red flag And.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
I'm really sorry because it must feel really heartbreaking having
put two years of your life into a relationship that
you genuinely thought was something. But I'm telling you now
you have to get out for your own for your
own health and well being, You've got to get out.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Well, let's wrap it up with actually, oh, wite hundred
the hats, what do you want to say?
Speaker 10 (24:27):
Ash, Yeah, I was with you guys about the video call.
Who doesn't have a friend, family member that has a
device to kem or go to a public library. There's
no reason why you can't video.
Speaker 3 (24:42):
Call someone else, So get out.
Speaker 11 (24:44):
Yeah, yeah, definitely run.
Speaker 10 (24:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Brings a lot of alarm bells and it is heartbreaking
because you've obviously put a lot of emotion into it
over the last couple of years. But to protect yourself
moving forward, I think you've got to get out out.
You got to get out. Yeah. There was a simple
answer this week. It ended up. We all ended up
on the same page.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
Absolutely many and the podcast.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
I made what turned out to be a bit of
a crucial era, probably a couple of weeks ago when
I was gonna say doing the show, but that was
and I rew the day every day since. No, no,
I'm kidding, I love it. I went to the club.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
With sorry what like the night class.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
I went to a nightclub with some friends for a party,
and I wore my very nice white shoes, like white
white shoes.
Speaker 1 (25:41):
You obviously even been to the club in a while,
because those red ball and Vodkas that gets spilt on
the d floor, they ain't gonna leave your shoes white.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
So I got home and they were filthy. They were
so disgusting. And I love these shoes, and so I thought,
I'm gonna I wash them. I'll put them in the
washing machine.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
And are they canvas or leather?
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Leather?
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Yeah, have the washingine.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Yeah that was a mistake. That was my first mistake.
But it's not actually, well maybe it does play into
what has happened since because they came out beautiful, like
that's so white. I added some little some nappy sand. Yeah,
came out white as white. So I thought, great job done.
I dried them and I've been wearing them. The issue
(26:29):
is there is now the most irritating squeak every single
step I take. You can hear the squeak in the
heel of the shoe. I got produced the Seia to
follow me with her phone and we went for a
walk to a for a coffee to earlier today to
record the sound. Now, I will preface this by saying,
(26:50):
because she was basically following me with a phone, it's
not the best audio, but I think you'll get a
sense of what I'm talking about. Have he listened to this?
Can you hear the squeak? Just yes, it's producer SI.
(27:11):
Can you can vouch for how annoying the squeak is was?
Speaker 12 (27:15):
It was pretty squeaky at times. Yes, And we try
to outside on the footpath as well, and inside on
the tile.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
Very squeak, very squeaky. So it's so annoying and it's
only happened since I put them in the wash, And
I need to know is this a thing? Is there
a way that I can get rid of the squeak?
What do I do?
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Are they still partially wish I would say moisture.
Speaker 3 (27:38):
No, it's been like two weeks since I put them
in the washing machine. I dried them out for like
two days before I wore them again. But it's got
this bloody, annoying squeak. And I thought someone out there
will know what's got, what I'm talking about, and why
this is father out there, and how do I get
rid of the squeak? If someone knows, please stick through
(28:01):
to four four eights even I need to know. I
need to get rid of it.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
Maybe you put them in Rice, Rice Foxes, Everything.
Speaker 6 (28:09):
May and PJ Mady and PJ the podcast The Heads.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
I take you back to when I was pregnant a
couple of years ago, to the cravings that I had
heard everyone talk about, you know, leading up to the
Oh it's a real thing. Absolutely. I never had nothing
too strange though I loved I actually cooking up butter
pasta a lot. I just wanted plain feta genie, right,
(28:37):
like just plain pasta with lots of butter and salt
and cheese.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
The thing they do think, though, is that I have
cravings all the time as well, and I'm not pregnant.
Do you think do you think it's just a good
excuse for pregnant.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
This was different. Like I do to have cravings, but
these were different, Like it's almost like you have to
have it right Like in the morning, oh my god,
I would have to have my cup of tea and toast.
I think that's because I was just quite nauseated and
in the second I needed something in me. But it
is like it's really overpowering, right, okay, And when you
have that crave, got to have it. And yeah, I
(29:13):
probably did milk it a few times, but I really
I need I need this now fair enough. A similar
situation has happened to a well known Kiwi TikToker. His
name is Louis and he has We actually tried to
get him on the show because this has made news
articles here in New Zealand about a situation with his
wife who was experiencing pregnancy craving. Now we couldn't get
(29:36):
him on the show, but here he is to explain
what happened.
Speaker 4 (29:40):
That's just pregnant and she has a very specific pregnancy craving.
It's a little bit difficult because it has to be fresh,
it has to be big, and I have to get
it with my own hands. Ideally it would just be
ice cream or a burger or something.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
But for her, it's a delicacy that we call quina.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
Despite what people think about the Pacific Ocean, it is
very cold this time of the year. And if it
wasn't for the overwhelming amount of love that I have
for my darling, I would not be doing this and
saying that I don't have a baby inside of me,
so I'd go to the ends of the earth for
her crazy little cravings.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Oh, partner of the year, right there, lowis Davis who
in diving for twelve hours to get the kinner for
his wife that she's so strongly craved.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
I did just put this together because we reached out
to Louis and he missed me and said, I'd love
to come on the show, but I'm in the middle
of the Pacific Ocean right now. Is he back out
finding trying.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
To find he didn't give enough. I'm not a fan.
I don't think even if I was Brigner. I'd like
them to be honest for you, even though for.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Me, but each to their own, each to their own.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
I thought this was a great opportunity to platform the
unsung heroes this afternoon, and I would like to take
nominations for Partner of the Year award. Oh wait, hundred
of the hats you can text wolf for eight seven.
Has your partner gone above and beyond to earn the
Partner of the Year awards? I love it. It could
(31:07):
be a little tongue in cheek maybe you know, it's
not like saving a life, but something that they did
that you're like, you know what, babe, you are You're
in top position for Partner of the Year. Get in touch.
Oh eight hundred per hats.
Speaker 6 (31:22):
Mary and PJ Mady and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
The nominations are now open for Partner of the Year award.
We've been talking about this guy, Louis Davis, who went
on a twelve hour mission to fulfill his pregnant wife's
craving of Kenner. There have been a few messages of
concern that raal fish probably isn't the best thing when
you're pregnant on it. I don't know what the deal
is with Kenna actually, but anyway, it's the idea behind
it is the intention, the good intention that he had
(31:47):
to take care of his wife, because you don't want
to get in between a craving. I know a firsthand.
We do want to know, though, what has your partner
done to go above and beyond? You can text four
for eight seven or give us a call one hundred hats.

sure that we're all looked after.

I waite hundred the hats. Why does your partner good
luck being in that deserve part of the Year award.
Speaker 11 (33:02):
Well, whenever I was actually had babies. Whenever I got
up to breastfeed, he would roll over to my side
of the bed, and when I came back, he'd roll
back and leave me a nice warm side of the bed.
You just did it every time.
Speaker 1 (33:19):
It's just like a real life hot water bottle electric blanket.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
It's a good man and.
Speaker 6 (33:25):
A many and the podcast.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
So last week we were on a flight to Australia
with our toddler and we had to do two flights.
We had to do one to Auckland and then we
had to do one to Bridgeman, which is a bit
of an ask with a toddler, like you really have
to have a game plan. You got to have all
the snacks up your sleeve. You've got to just have everything.
You have books, you'd have something on the iPad, just
(33:51):
something really to go. We did pretty well our first
flight to Auckland, and probably a little bit cocky as
we ded it the second flight. The first half went
really really well and he was an angel child. And
then he went to sleep and BJ and I looked
at each other and we were like.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
We got this.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
We've got an hour and a half ago, we have
got this in the back and then Charlie woke, and
he woke, I think, in quite a disorientated state on
a plane, hot and flustered. And then it happened the
meltdown of all meltdown, which lasted for about fifteen to
(34:33):
twenty minutes. Oh yeah, yeah, let go go away, get
off me, like at full boar, and you just feel
so bad. But also it's so funny in those moments
because fellow parents just look to you with this with
this gaze that they understand. They're like, I know, I
(34:54):
know what you're going through.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
But it's probably a mix of I know, but also
thank god it's not me.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Yes, yes, that's it, like a real smugness about them going,
oh honey, I'm so sorry, but oh thank god. But anyway,
that's an occasionally and you know, like I just wanted
to give Charlie the biggest cuddle. It wasn't his fault,
he just didn't know where he was. Anyway, that that
came to an end, and it was like and afterwards
(35:21):
the flood attendant was amazing sort of came to us
and said, look, do you guys want your own role?
We can move you and then you guys can have
a bit more space this lady, we can jiggle around.
And we were like, oh my gosh, thank you, Like
it's so nice when they go above and beyond when
you do have a kid. And then he came back
again and he sort of said, oh, look, we can
give you guys a little complimentary cake. Is there anything
(35:44):
else I can do? And then he went off and
he came back and he goes, do you know what,
and he sort of I realized he sort of was
talking to BJ, my husband potentially more than this.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
Okay, And he was like, I see you, just like.
Speaker 1 (36:00):
He's like, actually, we do have some additional pastries that
haven't been used. We've got some sausage rolls. We've got
some meat pies. And I didn't mean to do that hand.
I did not mean to do that hand. I was
just getting into character.
Speaker 3 (36:14):
Well anyway, I'm putting the pieces of the puzzle together.
Speaker 1 (36:18):
But he just kept coming back and I was like,
oh my god, this surface is above and beyond. This
guy has been amazing. And then he goes, what one
do you think your husband would like? Do you think
I already liked the sausage troll? Because BJ had gone
to the toilet and I was like, ah, so I
thought we were getting this special and then and I
(36:39):
realizes the flight when I think he had the hots
for beach and he just kept coming back, and yeah.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
To be fear, to be fair, I mean we all
have the hots for beach. I thought you're gonna.
Speaker 1 (36:56):
Say something profound. Get away from.
Speaker 6 (36:59):
My he's mine and the podcast.
Speaker 1 (37:08):
Mess producing sirahs at the studio for us to wait
in on more topics. With head or mess. We cannot
sit on the fence. We have to weigh with a
hat or a mess. What have you got? The savening
s hereah.
Speaker 12 (37:19):
Buying someone a gift card as a gift.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Or mess hat, I ride it. Yeah, I write it.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
Like especially if you know, but because I feel like
I could go and buy some clothes for my dad
or my mom or even Ryan. But it's so subjective.
So if I give them the gift card, it's like,
go and pick what you want and then you can
be happy with it. I'm still giving. I'm still thinking
of you.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
We got some pretty cards for a wedding gift. Make
we use the my oversakes for a holiday. I loved
it right, although then I just I couldn't tell how
much was on it, so I'd like keep pushing it
at the end, and like, there were quite a few
times declined. I'll just try again with like because I'd
try like one hundred bucks that didn't work. So I
was like, Okay, well the next pitture, I'll see fifty.
Still decline. I'm like, maybe I could get eighteen. Nope, declined.
Speaker 12 (38:07):
A little tip you can just write every time you
finish your transaction with Vivid, because I know you just
had a Vivid on your pocket right on the back
of the card. How much is.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
Livet I know that's a lot of it next to it.
Speaker 12 (38:22):
Tongue scrapers, Miss, I'm going to say that I don't
use it, but I must say.
Speaker 1 (38:31):
They're pretty satisfying to think about.
Speaker 12 (38:35):
Like when you're brushing your teeth. I use a plastic one.
Apparently they're bad and you need to be using a
metal one and you go like this.
Speaker 1 (38:42):
And it gets all like that tongue doesn't that yellow?
Us yellow?
Speaker 12 (38:50):
Maybe that wasn't me, that was I can bring one
in tomorrow, Mattie if you want to see what they
look like, not.
Speaker 1 (38:55):
A used one.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
Are they goods?
Speaker 1 (38:59):
I mean, I don't know, I don't I don't have one,
but I've used it like from time to time, and
it's one of those things like when you get you
weeks out. It's just one of those satisfying things. Okay,
I don't know if give it a home, but give
it a home, you might get hooked after one time.
Speaker 3 (39:13):
Maybe I will.
Speaker 12 (39:15):
Going to the beach in winter.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Misst Yeah, not to cresp for a beautiful walk on
a nice clear day.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Lovely.
Speaker 1 (39:27):
I love how you started this year being an ice batha.
How many times did you do that?
Speaker 3 (39:32):
I tried it twice when we went in though. We
did a couple of ice baths and they were Yeah,
they were really good.
Speaker 1 (39:42):
Is it because you came out from a steaming hot spark?
Speaker 3 (39:45):
Yeah, that helped, But it was just it was the
it was the edm of doing it at home when
it was real, like all the air and ready to go.
I'm happy to do it.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
What about the guitar that you said you're going to
take up with, has it going?
Speaker 3 (39:58):
It's out of the boat? What about out of the
boot that singingly sends?
Speaker 1 (40:02):
What about liking to joke now I'm just joking.
Speaker 3 (40:04):
No, I did so.
Speaker 12 (40:05):
I was going to do dancing there okay, just stick
to one, Just stick to one.
