The Hits Drive with Media and Paja thanks to chimis
Wee House the Real House of Fragrances and Hello everyone
and welcome to the podcast. Hope you had a splendid
weekend and butter banana and mandarin coming to the aid
of my hunger like hunger patch, I just got real hungry.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
You went to do a mad dash to the supermarket
across the road.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
It was when you got there, it was it's a
it's a bit of a boot ticky grocery store.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Still still but posh. People still need to get their food.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Still going to eat. Yeah, I was devo, but then
I remembered I had a whole lot of groceries in
the car, including something we chat about in the show
check in, Like god.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I maintained, I maintain, You're fine, Yeah, you're fine.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Okay, I've got another quick question okay, and then I've
gone you okay, okay. Sorry, I don't want to bring
it up on any EAUO oscar people are going to
make me paranoid. But I found mass po on the
weekend in our drawer with all of with all of it,
with all of our like like baking turns and stuff
(01:17):
like that. And I then once I discovered, I went
on the mad clean and I did full like looked
out how to do it, and I like sprayed this
like disinfectant on it for like ten minutes, let them
all go soft. And then I went and I made
sure that the area was well ventilated. But I didn't
discover until after I'd made these muffins. And I reckon
(01:39):
the ten. I reckon the ten that I made on
my but I'd butted, and I like I butted them
with my hand and then and then I cooked them.
But I reckon because the muffins were cooked. We're in
the clear, do we think continued to eat the muffins.
(02:01):
I had one because I was real hungry.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Okay, sorry, let me get this clear. So mouse PuO
in the in the in the cover and.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
The drawer so it was in like a drawer under
the oven. Pulled it out and there were droppings all around, right,
I think now I think about it. When I put
it in the oven, I may have noticed one on
the muffin ten that I sort of like sweept away.
And then I opened up. I was like, shit, we've
actually got a lot of shit from mice in here.
So then it went into the oven. But I don't
(02:31):
know if underneath like the muffins like in that little tin,
but there were there were also I made the chop chaps.
The chop chaps were fine, little like. So it's really
hard to distinguish between the mood. And now I'm so
scared we're gonna get like salmonallosis, salmonellosis. I looked up
all of the diseases that I could transmit, so I'm
(02:51):
really hoping for the best. But but jes hunger got
the better of them.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Have you done it?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I had one.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
I'm not letting Jellie have them. Would you eat another one?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
See? If I eat another one, I'll cut the bottom off.
I remember, We're okay, but like can it? Does anyone
have any because if you look up on Google, it's
fucking grim like it's not a good Jesus Like yeah,
and like how actually easy it is to spread disease
from I want exactly So I just want people's realistic take.
(03:24):
It's really hard to sift through the information. If anyone's
got actual information regarding like we cooked them, it was,
you know, properly cooked to a high temperature. Do you reckon?
We'll be okay. Anyway, that's my thing. What have you
got for me?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I am actually wondering, because mine's good?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Do you want to save it for the show.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I might save it for the show tomorrow for the show.
I'm gonna save it for the show tomorrow because it's
really good.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Okay. Well, we filled this up with paranoia chat, so
if anyone's got any feedback on the mace droppings, I
think we're gonna be okay. I think we're gonna be okay.
But anyway, let us know. Coming up in the podcast today,
we talk about a number of things.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
I had a.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Dream, a really, really vivid dream, and I woke up
so relieved that it didn't actually happen. But then I
opened my silly old mouth to my husband and I
mad things with uh huh.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
We also talked about your poor beach by the way, God,
I was a bitch. I have poor him like.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I don't think other people see the bitchiness that I
can have, Like he's really him and my mum probably
cough it.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, but that's we are at the way. We are
the best and worst versions of ourselves with the people
we love the most.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Honestly, I don't know how he stuck with me through
some of my bitch and then I like fully apologized
and I'm like, I'm so sorry, Like I know that
was me.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
When I when Ryan and I first got together, I
it was my first ever relationship, and we are just
so different, and especially in the way we communicate with
each other. And now we figured it out, like you know,
get yeah, and you know, like I know what something
means when he does it now, But back in the day, you're.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
You take everything as an insult and you get defensive right.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Totally, And I'm like, that's not how I would respond
to that situation. So when he does a like turn
it into a much bigger thing. But now I know.
But back in the day, when I would we would,
when we would fight, I would I'd slam doors. Yeah,
I'd storm off and slam doors.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I'm a stomper. I've actually gone off and a race
car before He's like, what are you doing? And I
tried to be real dramatic. I didn't even give oh
my god. But that also is when we first moved
on together. And I think you're right, like it happens,
especially that first year or whatever you live together. All
of these things come up that you haven't really been
(05:54):
exposed to before.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
We don't fight anymore.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I mean we don't.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
We have mindor disagreements, but we don't fight, and I
think it's just that figuring each other out.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah, yeah, Yeah, he's definitely the great neutralizer of the relationship.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
If he were more reacting, I think we would probably.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
The difference is you and I are hard on our
sleeve kind of people, and our our husbands are both
like more intruspasive.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yes, yes, but they still have feelings too, feelings.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I saw Rhyme cry for the first time when we
got married. I'd never seen him cry before.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
That would have been amazing.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
It was like the flight like pedal box opened, all
the floodgates open and they couldn't stop, and then the
well the wells ran dry. And I haven't seen him
cry since.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
That was the last time.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Look coming up in the podcast.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yeah, we talked about going on.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
A little bit sidetracked the app.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Also, I liked that it was a good God we
talked about our relationships.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
A lot, I know, but when to get a hobby, yeah,
I know.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Well, no, I was gonna make a dirty joke out
of there.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
That was what we're gonna say.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Like, because we do there, it's like an oh no,
don't I don't think there was anything in it.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Okay, it's gonna make up husbands.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Yeah, it was so bad.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
It was so bad.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I had to put flat pack furniture together over the weekend.
So and there was a it didn't it was didn't
It wasn't perfect. It wasn't perfect. So we asked you
when should you have just called in the professionals. When
did you try and do something and it just didn't go?
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Well?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
That was good?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Yeah, that was fun. The people's poll, we asked splitting
the well or itemizing your thoughts on this coming up.
Enjoy the podcast everybody, and have a great night. Let
you know about the mice poof.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
The podcast.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Now if you haven't to tune into our show on
Friday afternoon. I was telling you for the last few days,
I'd had some really interesting interactions with strangers, and I
was like, is this something I'm giving off which is
leading these people who come up and have conversations with me?
And one of those conversations I had with a man
(08:16):
in a kebab store as I was sitting on my phone,
so I'm scrolling away and there's a guy waiting for
his kebab, and he goes, what would you do? What'd
you do if the power went down, if the cell
reception went and you couldn't use that thing? What would
you do? I was like, mate, And then this sparked up.
I could you not a conversation with this guy for
about fifteen twenty minutes, and I said, mate, I'd welcome it.
(08:39):
I can't wait to get out the rat race. Honestly,
if it went down, it would be the best thing ever.
And then we started talking about the end of the world,
what we would do, how people don't trust their inner
voice anymore? Can't we need? Like we had this real,
profound deep chat. So that happened Friday afternoon, a run
three ten pm. Can we just remember what happened a
(09:01):
few hours later that afternoon? Don't shake your hit at me.
Was that man a little profit in the kebb store?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:15):
No, he wasn't. Well, what is it not very coincidental
that three hours later there were outages all around the world.
Banks were impacted, airports, media companies because of this defective
cybersecurity software update. Will we all affected?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
He was just giving you a hard time for being
on your phone.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
He wasn't a profit, no, because I didn't tell you.
He also said, I've got this voice just telling me
it's going to happen soon. I tell you what. It's
just they say that these messages come in odd ways,
and that was mine.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
What is what's the I'm sure there's a saying in
there like it's something like, and I'm making this.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Talk to a man in a kebab store. If you talk,
don't dismiss no.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
It's if you listen to the ramblings of a madman
for long enough, at some point he'll say something vague
vaguely correct. I'm just okay.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Like all jokes aside, there's pretty weird timing that this
happened on the same day, Am I right?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yes, But I'm I'm reluctant to guy something to you.
I know, I'm reluctant to give it to you because
you're already woo woo enough. And if you think that
there's a profit walking around the streets of Masterton, I'm
really concerned about what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
To say, if a random comes up to you abeb store,
don't dismiss them.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Mary and PJ. Mady and PJ the.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Podcast that I have been having the most vivid, intense
dreams lately. Okay, wake up and I don't. I don't
always what was it?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I said, Cheese, Have you been cutting off the ends
of them again?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Oh? Yeah, Well no I haven't, but that does make
you your dreams extremes. I've just been waking up and
I don't always remember how intense they are. But I
just wake up knowing that that was like a wild
ride on the weekend. Though I did wake up and
I remembered the contents of my dream.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Can I just can I say I'm not opposed to
dream chat, but I do know a lot of people. True, now,
we're not gonna this isn't going to become a show
where we just rehash our dreams, is it.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
No, no, no no, even though I've tried to get
it over the line to no no, no no no,
trust me, this goes somewhere, and I feel like a
lot of people have been in this position. So I
dreamed that I was with another man, and at the
time when I was with the other man, so I
think it was at a party or something. The next
(11:45):
day I was getting married to BJ and I didn't
realize at the time when I was obviously what this
meant that I was set to get married. So when
I'm at the wedding, all of this guilt just fell
on me like a shower, and I was so overwhelmed.
And I remember going to my friend Sophie and I said, Sophie,
this has happened, and then she didn't give me good support,
and I just felt horrendous Medie, like I have never
(12:06):
felt so.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Guilty in my life. This is all just in the dream,
a dream and.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
A dream if you're just training and this is just dream.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Who is the guy?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Honestly, he wasn't even my type. It wasn't worth that
was it me? And no no before no, no, no,
you didn't make a feature. But the guy actually rocked
up at the back of the wedding. He was in
the like he was within one hundred two hundred meters
and I remember thinking, what is he doing here? What
is he to get him out? But I woke up
(12:36):
and I have never felt so relieved for a dream
to be a dream, you know what I mean. But
in that moment, I should have kept quiet, and I
should just keep it. You can't keep quiet I may
have used it against my husband BJ when I woke up,
because I woke up really grumpy. I think i'd been
up in the night with a two year old and
(12:56):
I just woke up with a bit of sess right,
and I'm looking fast and what do you do? I
can't remember it because I think I wanted him to
help with Charlie. That I was something like that, like
I was just tired. When I'm tired, I'm not a
nice person. And then I said, well, I cheated it
on you in my dream.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Last And then I walked off.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
And he looked at me and he goes, did you
really just try and hold something against me?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Did you say it with the tone of and if
you're not bloody here for.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
What? Horrible?
Speaker 4 (13:28):
You?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
You know, so horrible? So I thought, look, we could
have been a fart with us this afternoon. Oh wait,
hundred of the hats. What happened after the dream was
there's some drama. Were you motivated to absolutely change your life?
Because I feel like sometimes you wake up and they
really do have a big impact. Maybe it was a
very tough conversation with a partner. What happened after the dream?
(13:51):
I wait, hundred the hat. The podcast, we are talking
dreams and I know I mete. You're not a fan
of dream, but my drama, My dream had drama. Okay,
you're beautiful, what a poor man?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Your beautiful husband BJ But it.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Was like in the dream, I didn't know that I
had him as a partner, and then the next day
we're getting married. And honestly, the girl I felt was
just awful when I woke up. You know how you
can't shake that feeling for a while. I just felt
so awful, and then I was like, oh my god,
thank God, thank god that didn't actually happen.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
So you throw it in his face.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
In his face, I was like, hey, I just want
you to know that I tell it on you. Okay,
So I'm still got it. We wanted to know what
happened after the dream. You can give us a called
eight hundred the Hits or text four for eight seven.
We've got Meek joining us.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
Hello Meg, Hi, guys, how's it going.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
You're not doing bad? What happened after the dream and
what was the dream?
Speaker 5 (14:51):
It's a huge backstory. I won't go onto it, okay,
short story. Had a crush on this guy for years
and years and years, ended up in a really bad relationship,
went away with him for a couple of weeks over Christmas.
He had a dream about the other guy, broke up
with him after the dream, moved to Israel to be
(15:13):
with the other guy.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
What because you had a dream about him?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
I dreamed about it and then I ended up getting
letdens from him from Israel, professing his love for me.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Why did.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
That movie I love you marrying me? I want you
to have my children drop? I was twenty one years old,
dropped everything and moved to Israel to be with the
other guy.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
And the way, what was happening now?
Speaker 5 (15:42):
He treated me like shite? Oh on no, I ended
up in a country knowing no one.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Oh, knowing me.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
But are you happy now? Are you happy now? Most importantly?
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Oh yeah, yeah, very very very happy. Married to my
darling for twenty four years. Time ago.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
But some story and heinz me. Don't listen to the
dream now.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Yeah, we we're young and stupid.
Speaker 6 (16:06):
Yeah you know.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
I was twenty one, he was twenty four. He was
working for the United Nations. Oh my god, wow, in
our lives so we're at a movie.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
We don't have long enough? But you and I are
going to sit down for a dream because I feel
like some stories to tell me.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
I'd love to say with you for a drink?
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Man, right, Hey, get on you, Meg. We're going to
hook you out with the hell PiZZ about you. We've
got to get to the best song ever shalld. We
should we take my more comman, We've got Jan joining us,
all eight hundred the hats. What did you do after
the dream? Jan?
Speaker 3 (16:40):
My dream? My dream is a flat tire.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Well?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
I had a dream I was heating up to Auckland
on a Saturday. So the Friday night, when I went
to bed, I dreamed that I pulled around the corner
of the Natier intersection onto the main highway to Auckland,
and in my dream, I got flat tire fairly close
to that intersection. And the next day I headed up
to Auckland and I wasn't even thinking about it, and
(17:06):
I went from the intersection heading to Auckland when my
tire went slept.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Oh God, prophetic dream. We're never going to hear the
end of this now from PJ. I told you, G
You're like gateway to psychic? Are you now a psychic?
What do you do for a living.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Well, let's just say I'm really cautious about things like
my visions in my dream.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Wow, Meg, shouldn't have listened to the dream. You should
have listened to the dream.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
And I think you and I need to sit down
in the podcast.
Speaker 7 (17:47):
That the People's the People's Poll, everybody comes together, it's the.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
People with us.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah, I'm back. I'm back at the People's Pole. We
do this every day on the show now, where you
get to weigh in on a certain issue. May be
an issue that's in the news. It maybe something that's
happened to us in our lives or something to our
friends today. Matthew McLain, what is.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
The topic we got talking about? What you do when
you go up for maybe like brunch or dinner with
a group of people when it gets to the end
of the night. Do you split the bill like straight
down the middle, you know? Or do you go and
itemize every single thing so someone says, well, I got
the Caesar salad and the glass of one, so I'll
(18:35):
pay for that. Or do you just go there's four
of us, let's just split it in four and we'll
all pay an equal amount.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I'm just thinking of two different situations right now, and
I feel like in a brunch setting, I would probably
itemize because I feel like, oh, yeah, i've got a coffee,
I've got a little juice on the side, and then
my bricket. I'll pay for those items. But then we
actually went out for a nice long lunch over the
holiday period and we ended up just splitting at the end.
(19:03):
It was two couples, We had two couples, and it
was just easier to split. But then I felt really
bad afterwards because I was drinking and one of the
other girls wasn't right, so my drinks would have been
substantially more expensive thing, and that I never followed up
whether oh I should have paid. Oh, I just felt
really bad.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Yeah, it's a hard one as well. If you're the
person that's making the call, you know, someone will often
be the person that will just go should we just
split it, split it down the middle?
Speaker 8 (19:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Yeah, yeah, but you never want to be there person.
I love splitting because I just think it's so much cleaner,
And you know, I hate dawdling, So the faster I
can get out of a cafe or a restaurant, the better.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
But even if someone's ordered like quite a bit more
than you. You don't care. You just prefer the path
of least resistance. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Absolutely, plus plus I feel like I hold my own
when it comes to like.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Ordering, you're that guy.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I might be. I might be the more complicated order.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
All right, Well, least get the people's thoughts in it.
On the People's Pole today, text through to four four
eight seven. Do you split the bill or do you itemize?
And maybe you've got some situations where you do one
or the other. Text through now four four eight seven
and we'll come back and reveal the results next Maddy
and PJ.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Mady and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 7 (20:21):
That's the key Pole's poll, the People's Pole, everybody comes together.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
It's the People's Pole.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Do you itemize or do you split the bill? Is
the question for the People's Pole Today. You can text
through four four eight seven. Some mixed opinions coming through.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Many Yeah, I'd say a lot of itemized. Yeah, messages,
I'd say that's generally the You can say that it's
going Someone did say it's circumstantial. If it's a shared
lunch and we're sharing dishes, then you split. But if
you're getting your own meals with couples that are dinner
then always our own. I ain't paying for no one's
(20:58):
surf and turf.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Someone said you got to set the expectations at the start.
I don't want to be paying for someone who's just
let loose. Seven years ago, went out with the friends extended,
a bunch of friends. They were ordering jugs of cocktails.
Me and another friend of one drink. Not fair at all,
Nicole is joining us, hand the heads. What are your thoughts.
Speaker 9 (21:21):
I'm happy if it's just like a small group of people.
And like if I have a mocktail because I don't
drink and everyone else has like one or three alcoholic drinks,
then I don't mind. The mocktail is about the same post.
But when if I just go out for dinner and
I have a lemon limon Bidders or something like that,
and you know, like I'm Maine on one train, everyone
else is drinking like six or eight drinks each. Yeah,
(21:45):
hard to swallow. Yeah, because generally I'm the driver, sober
driver as well, So I'm.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Doing what good for you And that's totally fair enough.
If it's not. If it doesn't year or even then
I think that that's when you that's when you start itemizing.
I mean, if you'll have exactly the same thing, a
mane and a glass of wine, it's probably just easier
to split.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
I love this message. I'd split the bill with you,
two honkys anytime. I like twenty year old Taylor Porte
in Crayfish.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
We are on that money. My friend must be my
Many and PJ the podcast finish me off.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
All right, it is time for a game. I don't
know how long this is gonna last, but Many thinks
that we should put to the test my quotes, because
I will admit sometimes I don't get them entirely correct.
I feel like I start strong with a quote, but
when it comes to completing a quote totally accurately, I
wouldn't say it's a strength.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
It blessed you as well, because you really try. So often.
I have seen you try to say something so profound
and you know where you want to go with it.
You just don't know how to quite finish it all.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
It just doesn't hit home. No, I just stuff up
the last couple of words. Okay, So this way.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Three quotes for you, and I want you to see
how well you do to finish the quote.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Okay, okay, okay, can I win something or just pride? Sure?
Speaker 2 (23:12):
I mean pride I've got. I'm sure I can dig
something up around the office. I think this might maybe
a packet of chips out there.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Or something like that, one thousand dollars or something.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
It's pin for you if you want.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Okay, okay for the hurts pin, all right, I.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Grab something from the chemist house. If you want a
Musashi energy drink?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
What it should?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
That be?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Nice?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Okay, I'll get you one of those if you can
do it.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
From Musashi drink. Okay, what have we got?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Okay? First quote? A rising tide.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
A rising tie is a rising tide, not atomic cann
A rising tide brings joyous ends. No, No, A rising
tide and a lowering ground. What does that mean? I
don't know. A rising tide dry sand, No, it'll be
(24:07):
witsand oh no, Medie, can you give me like the idea?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Now you're just saying wood just putting woods?
Speaker 1 (24:12):
A rising tide comes once a month. No, No, it's
more than that. Is a rising tide, a rising sun.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
It's all Can I shall I tell you kind of
the general gist of what it's about. It's it's the
idea of like a buoyant economy, like an improved economy
will benefit everyone.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
A rising tide of rising society. No, okay, a rising
tide just brings joyous times.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
You see that at the start. No, it's not rising tide.
A rising tide lifts all boats. The economy rises, everyone rises.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Not a great start. I'm not going to get the
massage drink an I.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Not at this rate, but I'll give you a second one.
You can't make an omelet.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
You can't make an omelet, but you can buy the eggs.
You can't make an omelet without milk. No, you can't
make an omelet without the chick in. You can't make
an omelet unless you're willing to put in the work.
Oh my god. You can't make an omelet and not
(25:26):
eat it.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
That's true. Well, I mean you could not eat it,
but it would be foolish to make an omelet and
not eat it. You can't make an omelet without breaking
a few weeks.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Oh, that's good.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
I know. It's the quote.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
One more quote.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
If you lie down with dogs, you.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Sleep with the dogs, flakers and you fall asleep with
the dogs. If you lie I know something about sleeping
dogs lie. Sleeping dogs lie, So if you lie with
the dogs, they will sleep.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
I felt peaceful or something.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Well, I just know that there is the dogs life.
If you lie it down with dogs, you might get fleas.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Well kind of, I'm going to give that to you.
If you lie down with dogs, you'll get up with fleas.
I'll get that. Man. It was touch and go, but
I'll get that mustache you drink out to you, all right.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I'm so Sorryzilla. That was incredibly painful to endure. I
was one out of three.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Betty and the podcast that I am coming up two
years at the end of this year that I've been
married to my husband Ryan.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
That's a long time these days, coulation.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I'd like to I always, you know what, I would
like to have, always thought that I would at least
make it to two years.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Well, look, pat yourself on the back. In all seriousness,
I think that's a beautiful thing and you should cherish
every day.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
I will say, I don't know how much longer it's
going to last.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
I was walking Ryan and I went out with a
friend the other night and we were walking down the
street and I got a little bit stuck behind them.
I got there was a beautiful shot of the sky
tower and I was taking a photo of it from
a grand and so they kept walking, so I had
to like run to catch up to them, and so
I'd missed part of the conversation. When I caught up
with them, I was saying to our friend, yeah, when
(27:22):
we get divorced, And I said, excuse me, when we
get divorced?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Sorry? What?
Speaker 2 (27:30):
And he was saying, when not we get divorced? Not
have He said, what would be fun as if we
had like joint part Like we'll have joint parties, like
joint divorce parties. But then he said we won't be
able to have them on the same night because then
there'll be a competition as to who goes to which party.
I said, I loved it.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
He's thought about that.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
It was even two years in you and you're already
planning your divorce party. What have you seen out an
outlook calendar, invite for it and everything?
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Was he dead pan serious?
Speaker 2 (27:59):
He was kind of just OK. I hope he was joking,
we're not getting divorced. We're fine, We're fine, We're fine.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yeah, but it.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Got me thinking, what would you do? If you got divorced,
do you have a divorce part? Is that a thing?
Speaker 1 (28:11):
It's definitely by this sounds of a more common thing
these days. I mean, immediately, my judgmental bells go off
a bit and I think we'll take he But then
I think, actually, it's probably actually quite a cathartic, healthy
thing to do to kind of honor the end of
a marriage. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, And
if you choose to do a little party and it's tasteful,
(28:32):
I don't know, not screw don't even feels good for you.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Ryan had said to my our friend, I wouldn't be allowed.
Ryan said, I can't have my party on the same
night as Maddie's party because he would be too He'd
be too worried that people would tune up to Ryan's.
And that is true.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
It was always awk when you have to choose the friends. Afterwards.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
My fear would be I would be the drop in
party at five Theory and be like, hey, I'm just
quickly calling and I've got another party to go to
believe it's right the party?
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Oh what one hundred? The hats as a number, or
you can text four for eight seven. Have you had
a divorce party or some really interesting way that you
honored the end of the marriage.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Yes, I love that.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
What was that? Yeah, maybe it was a party. Maybe
it was like did you in the dress? Did you
do the burning of the dress some kind of ceremony
or ritual to mark the end of that time of
your life. Give us a call a light, hundred the
hats so you can text four for eight seven. You
can stay in honim.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Maddy and PJ Madi in PJ the podcast.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
And we're talking what you did after the divorce. Hundred
the hat so you can text fre for eight seven.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Some great texts coming in. Someone said, my friends have
organized a divorce party for me in three weeks when
it's officially processed. Will be a ceremonial burning of the
marriage certificate and then dyeing my dress different colors before
cutting it up.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
So we were saying, like someone told me that if
you if you don't honor the marriage, it kind of
like hits you like grief and you actually need to
give it the time or else you don't process it properly.
So I mean, I think this is a great thing. Oh,
handa the hat so you can teach for four eight seven,
Denise is joining us? Denise, what did you do after
the divorce?
Speaker 6 (30:20):
So a few months after we separated, I kind of
felt really weird not wearing my rings anymore, and so
he had left his. It was reasonably amicable, but he
left his ring behind. He didn't wear it, and so
I decided to melt them down and make myself something else,
totally different that didn't look like any of the other rings,
(30:41):
and by now where that instead kind of as a yeah,
so it's still got the mainstone from my engagement ring,
and I had just spend a little bit more and
put a couple more diamonds in it. But I've got
this totally unique one of the compass that put honors.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Yeah, and that Scott his ring in it too, Denise,
Or are they two separate things?
Speaker 6 (31:00):
No, No, it's got to it was his ring, my ring,
the engagement ring. And then I actually had had a
couple of inheresed ones from my great aunt, but I
never walked because they were really old fashioned. So yeah,
well more gold chap.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Really cool idea.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
I love it. Nice, nice, nice work.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
This is my favorite text to celebrate my divorce. I
went to Rainbow's End with my exes and laws and
the kids and had a whale of a time. I'm
so glad I keep their friendship through and after the divorce.
I don't hold it against them their son So his
brother turned out to be a douche canon We go
to rainbows in every year now.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
I love them.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
So good.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Mary and PJ Mady and PJ the podcast that I
was just saying before I went to Wellington on the
weekend to visit one of my best friends who has
two beautiful children and one of them is my god son.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
She's a busy woman, she's got a lot going on,
and so I said to her, Hey, put me to work,
like I'm I'm not here for a free ride, a
free meal. Put me to work, a t and a
cup of tea. Anything you need done around the house,
I'm happy to help out. And she simple, Actually, you know,
this is the beauty of long term friendships. There's no
there's no pussy footing right eating about the bush. No,
(32:15):
you just get straight to the point you want something done. Yeah,
absolutely I do. And she said, there's actually a couple
of things. First of all, can you move this big cheer?
So I had to move it had to move a cheer?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Sorry, does she know who frieden? Very well?
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Well, she was as surprised as anyone to see me.
I lifted that cheer like it was nobody's business and
moved it down.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
All well, how sweety? How long did it take?
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Its? Easy as mate? Easy, I've been, I've been you
know me. I've been shifting to at the gym, pumped
in daily mate. Other things she asked me to do,
and this is where I went. I went, Okay, the
cheer is one thing. She said to me. I've got
this cabinet that I've bought. I need I need to
put some stuff in it, and she said, can you
(33:00):
put it together? I said, what do you mean? She said,
it's a flat pack? I said, okay, my beautiful friend,
we've been friends for how long? And she said I know?
And I said, do you think I would have any
idea how to put a flat pack together? She said,
I've got faith in you. So I pulled out the
instructions and started to look at it. I pulled all
the pieces, lay them all out and started to go
(33:23):
through the instructions and it said I needed some tools.
So I said to her, can you get me a spanner.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
I bet that was a spanner in the works.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
So she went she said, yeah, I've got one in
the garage. So she went out and she came back
with a spanner. Oh my god, that's the wrong That's
not what I that's not what I meant. And I went, oh,
I mean meant a screwdriver. So that was my first mistake.
And I thought, well, this is this is doesn't bode well,
does her. But she came back with the screwdriver. I
(33:55):
started to slowly but surely put everything together, and it
was things were moving like I was figuring it out.
I was putting the pieces together, and it was all
slotting together. I got the doors of the cabinet on,
I screwed in the handles, and then I went round
the back because I'd been very front focused. Oh god,
(34:17):
and I went round the back and there was this
big hole, like, there's a big hole in the top
with something that was coming out of the hole. And
I didn't know how to put it back in, and
I didn't know how to cover up the hole. And
I was here, I was flicking through the instructions and
I saw nothing about a hole in the back of
(34:38):
the in the back of the.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
It like a hole for the plugs to go through.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Why would there be plugs in the cabinet though, sometimes
this was just like like shelves.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Yeah, sometimes they do that. So then you can put
like a little light on there or something, and then
you put the hole, yeah, put the call through it.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
There was this little metal thing that I had screwed
into the top the cabinet that then was coming out
of it, and I was going, I don't even know
what this bit's for. And I was flicking through the
instructions and I was seeing if I was missing a piece,
and I couldn't see anything. And in the end, I went,
you know what, the doors of the cabinet open. The
shelves are in there, and they're not falling off. If
(35:18):
we just put the cabinet up against the back wall,
no one will not no one will ever know. And
she went, you know what, It's better than I would
have done. So it's fine. But I did feel a
little bit bad because I thought I hear I was thinking,
I've absolutely nailed this, and then I looked around the
back and I hadn't quite nailed it.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
And then it falls apart. It's oh my honestly, the
number I just I don't I don't do flip pecks
anymore because I just I've done the wrong side and
it just looked spangled all of them. So I just
handed to my husband. I just way better.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
But I always go to there, what's the add that
Diyatt's in our DNA? And I feel like so and
your DNA not at all of my But I feel
like so many people out there must have had that thought, right,
you know that that thought of I can do this,
I don't need to call the professionals, and then it
just turns into disaster.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Well, let's open up the phones. Oh waite, hundred the hats.
When did you think that you could fix that and
it backfired and you had to call in the professionals.
Give us a cool oh hundred the hats. We've got
some help pets about to give away for you Monday night,
or you can text In four four eight seven the podcast.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
I got tasked with putting a flat pack cabinet to
be together over the weekend by one of my friends.
I thought I nailed it, and I was very surprised
because the whole time I just kept waiting for some
sort of screw up, and then lo and behold, I
went round the back and it was a big hole
in the back of it. And I have no idea
where the whole came from or how you were meant
to fill it up.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
I still think you might be in luck and it
could just be in a little cable hole.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Okay, I'm going to go.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Just say that for the rest story. But we did
want to open up the fires this afternoon or this evening. Now,
I'll wait hundred the hats. When should you have just
called the professionals? You tried yourself at failed and you
should have just gone straight to the pros. Gary, what
happened to you?
Speaker 4 (37:14):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (37:14):
I thought it'd be clever and I would change the
bullcock in the water tank and the roofs of the
house and the ceiling, right, yeah, And I got up there,
and I thought i'd turned off all the water, and
of course I unscrewed the ballcock or the water coming
squirting out. I hadn't, I hadn't turned it.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Oh no, oh, no, soaking.
Speaker 8 (37:36):
Drip through all the ceiling, dripping out through the light,
through the light switches. We had to move out of
the house sixt week.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Gary, I tell you what. We're just so stubborn. Ask
were like, oh we can do it. No, you got it.
Speaker 5 (37:53):
You see Gary?
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Are you are you a married man?
Speaker 1 (37:57):
I am.
Speaker 8 (37:57):
I was nearly divorced, say.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
The podcast.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
So my dear son Charlie is acquiring more and more
vocabulary every day. It is the best thing, but it's
also quite terrifying how much they are sponges and how
much they absorb of what you say.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Yeah, I like what was his first word? Ah, it was.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
Dada or mama? Like it was it went between us
like he'd have favorites to go mama. He'd sort of
play us off between each other. The other day though,
I said to him, Charlie, so we go because he
still hasn't said his name Charlie. He'll say so many
other things. I'll be like, who am I? He'll go mama,
and then I'll point to beach and he'll go I'll
go who's this and he'll go dead dart and then
I'll go who are you?
Speaker 2 (38:44):
And he says bugger, bugger.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
I don't know where there's come from, but do you
know what I think there's been some mixed lines of
communication because we used to always call him Bubba right.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
He goes around saying, Bugger, I thought you were going
to say, I thought you were going to say. He
just like paused and had this real existential crisis where
he goes.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Who am I?
Speaker 2 (39:06):
Who am I? Oh my god, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
And then the other day Bej had when we were
on holiday, I'd gone up up to the lighthouse for
a bit of a run walk. BJ couldn't join me
because he had an injured ankle, so he took Charlie
on a bit of a detour and they went into
a cafe and got like a takeaway scan and a
little coffee. And is this standing in line Charlie. BJ's
(39:32):
like holding Charlie and Charlie sort of down by his
legs and he's sort of just standing there. And he's
quite an attractive girl in front of BJ and the line,
and she's wearing really like basically, I'm just gonna be
her butt looks real great, like the tights.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
The tights look great.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
She looks good.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
And was like, Okay, come up what you're putting down?
Beja's like, you know.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Just don't know where to look like you just sweet ass?
What does a near two year old Charlie do oh god,
bam bam.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Oh my god, I just say.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
Bam no, I'm on the ground, like if I'm walking
in the often he will just come up behind me
and go bam bamt like playing with my cheeks and
need to probably drip.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
He is his father's sound.
Speaker 1 (40:20):
Really, just see to this random girl in active he
bam bam.
Speaker 2 (40:25):
And she she would have known to She absolutely.
Speaker 1 (40:31):
The sunglasses. I'm just trying to acting like he has
no idea what's going on. Shut up to PU my
cover kids. They say the dundest thing.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
Many in the podcast
Speaker 1 (40:46):
That
The Hits Drive with Media and Paja thanks to chimis
Wee House the Real House of Fragrances and Hello everyone
and welcome to the podcast. Hope you had a splendid
weekend and butter banana and mandarin coming to the aid
of my hunger like hunger patch, I just got real hungry.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
You went to do a mad dash to the supermarket
across the road.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
It was when you got there, it was it's a
it's a bit of a boot ticky grocery store.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Still still but posh. People still need to get their food.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Still going to eat. Yeah, I was devo, but then
I remembered I had a whole lot of groceries in
the car, including something we chat about in the show
check in, Like god.
Speaker 2 (00:51):
I maintained, I maintain, You're fine, Yeah, you're fine.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Okay, I've got another quick question okay, and then I've
gone you okay, okay. Sorry, I don't want to bring
it up on any EAUO oscar people are going to
make me paranoid. But I found mass po on the
weekend in our drawer with all of with all of it,
with all of our like like baking turns and stuff
(01:17):
like that. And I then once I discovered, I went
on the mad clean and I did full like looked
out how to do it, and I like sprayed this
like disinfectant on it for like ten minutes, let them
all go soft. And then I went and I made
sure that the area was well ventilated. But I didn't
discover until after I'd made these muffins. And I reckon
(01:39):
the ten. I reckon the ten that I made on
my but I'd butted, and I like I butted them
with my hand and then and then I cooked them.
But I reckon because the muffins were cooked. We're in
the clear, do we think continued to eat the muffins.
(02:01):
I had one because I was real hungry.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Okay, sorry, let me get this clear. So mouse PuO
in the in the in the cover and.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
The drawer so it was in like a drawer under
the oven. Pulled it out and there were droppings all around, right,
I think now I think about it. When I put
it in the oven, I may have noticed one on
the muffin ten that I sort of like sweept away.
And then I opened up. I was like, shit, we've
actually got a lot of shit from mice in here.
So then it went into the oven. But I don't
(02:31):
know if underneath like the muffins like in that little tin,
but there were there were also I made the chop chaps.
The chop chaps were fine, little like. So it's really
hard to distinguish between the mood. And now I'm so
scared we're gonna get like salmonallosis, salmonellosis. I looked up
all of the diseases that I could transmit, so I'm
(02:51):
really hoping for the best. But but jes hunger got
the better of them.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Have you done it?
Speaker 1 (02:56):
I had one.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
I'm not letting Jellie have them. Would you eat another one?
Speaker 1 (03:02):
See? If I eat another one, I'll cut the bottom off.
I remember, We're okay, but like can it? Does anyone
have any because if you look up on Google, it's
fucking grim like it's not a good Jesus Like yeah,
and like how actually easy it is to spread disease
from I want exactly So I just want people's realistic take.
(03:24):
It's really hard to sift through the information. If anyone's
got actual information regarding like we cooked them, it was,
you know, properly cooked to a high temperature. Do you reckon?
We'll be okay. Anyway, that's my thing. What have you
got for me?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
I am actually wondering, because mine's good?
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Do you want to save it for the show.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
I might save it for the show tomorrow for the show.
I'm gonna save it for the show tomorrow because it's
really good.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Okay. Well, we filled this up with paranoia chat, so
if anyone's got any feedback on the mace droppings, I
think we're gonna be okay. I think we're gonna be okay.
But anyway, let us know. Coming up in the podcast today,
we talk about a number of things.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
I had a.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Dream, a really, really vivid dream, and I woke up
so relieved that it didn't actually happen. But then I
opened my silly old mouth to my husband and I
mad things with uh huh.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
We also talked about your poor beach by the way, God,
I was a bitch. I have poor him like.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I don't think other people see the bitchiness that I
can have, Like he's really him and my mum probably
cough it.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Yeah, but that's we are at the way. We are
the best and worst versions of ourselves with the people
we love the most.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Honestly, I don't know how he stuck with me through
some of my bitch and then I like fully apologized
and I'm like, I'm so sorry, Like I know that
was me.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
When I when Ryan and I first got together, I
it was my first ever relationship, and we are just
so different, and especially in the way we communicate with
each other. And now we figured it out, like you know,
get yeah, and you know, like I know what something
means when he does it now, But back in the day, you're.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
You take everything as an insult and you get defensive right.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Totally, And I'm like, that's not how I would respond
to that situation. So when he does a like turn
it into a much bigger thing. But now I know.
But back in the day, when I would we would,
when we would fight, I would I'd slam doors. Yeah,
I'd storm off and slam doors.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
I'm a stomper. I've actually gone off and a race
car before He's like, what are you doing? And I
tried to be real dramatic. I didn't even give oh
my god. But that also is when we first moved
on together. And I think you're right, like it happens,
especially that first year or whatever you live together. All
of these things come up that you haven't really been
(05:54):
exposed to before.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
We don't fight anymore.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I mean we don't.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
We have mindor disagreements, but we don't fight, and I
think it's just that figuring each other out.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah, yeah, Yeah, he's definitely the great neutralizer of the relationship.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
If he were more reacting, I think we would probably.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
The difference is you and I are hard on our
sleeve kind of people, and our our husbands are both
like more intruspasive.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Yes, yes, but they still have feelings too, feelings.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
I saw Rhyme cry for the first time when we
got married. I'd never seen him cry before.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
That would have been amazing.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
It was like the flight like pedal box opened, all
the floodgates open and they couldn't stop, and then the
well the wells ran dry. And I haven't seen him
cry since.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
That was the last time.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Look coming up in the podcast.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Yeah, we talked about going on.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
A little bit sidetracked the app.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Also, I liked that it was a good God we
talked about our relationships.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
A lot, I know, but when to get a hobby, yeah,
I know.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Well, no, I was gonna make a dirty joke out
of there.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
That was what we're gonna say.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Like, because we do there, it's like an oh no,
don't I don't think there was anything in it.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
Okay, it's gonna make up husbands.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Yeah, it was so bad.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
It was so bad.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I had to put flat pack furniture together over the weekend.
So and there was a it didn't it was didn't
It wasn't perfect. It wasn't perfect. So we asked you
when should you have just called in the professionals. When
did you try and do something and it just didn't go?
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Well?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
That was good?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Yeah, that was fun. The people's poll, we asked splitting
the well or itemizing your thoughts on this coming up.
Enjoy the podcast everybody, and have a great night. Let
you know about the mice poof.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
The podcast.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Now if you haven't to tune into our show on
Friday afternoon. I was telling you for the last few days,
I'd had some really interesting interactions with strangers, and I
was like, is this something I'm giving off which is
leading these people who come up and have conversations with me?
And one of those conversations I had with a man
(08:16):
in a kebab store as I was sitting on my phone,
so I'm scrolling away and there's a guy waiting for
his kebab, and he goes, what would you do? What'd
you do if the power went down, if the cell
reception went and you couldn't use that thing? What would
you do? I was like, mate, And then this sparked up.
I could you not a conversation with this guy for
about fifteen twenty minutes, and I said, mate, I'd welcome it.
(08:39):
I can't wait to get out the rat race. Honestly,
if it went down, it would be the best thing ever.
And then we started talking about the end of the world,
what we would do, how people don't trust their inner
voice anymore? Can't we need? Like we had this real,
profound deep chat. So that happened Friday afternoon, a run
three ten pm. Can we just remember what happened a
(09:01):
few hours later that afternoon? Don't shake your hit at me.
Was that man a little profit in the kebb store?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:15):
No, he wasn't. Well, what is it not very coincidental
that three hours later there were outages all around the world.
Banks were impacted, airports, media companies because of this defective
cybersecurity software update. Will we all affected?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
He was just giving you a hard time for being
on your phone.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
He wasn't a profit, no, because I didn't tell you.
He also said, I've got this voice just telling me
it's going to happen soon. I tell you what. It's
just they say that these messages come in odd ways,
and that was mine.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
What is what's the I'm sure there's a saying in
there like it's something like, and I'm making this.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Talk to a man in a kebab store. If you talk,
don't dismiss no.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
It's if you listen to the ramblings of a madman
for long enough, at some point he'll say something vague
vaguely correct. I'm just okay.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Like all jokes aside, there's pretty weird timing that this
happened on the same day, Am I right?
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Yes, But I'm I'm reluctant to guy something to you.
I know, I'm reluctant to give it to you because
you're already woo woo enough. And if you think that
there's a profit walking around the streets of Masterton, I'm
really concerned about what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
To say, if a random comes up to you abeb store,
don't dismiss them.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Mary and PJ. Mady and PJ the.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Podcast that I have been having the most vivid, intense
dreams lately. Okay, wake up and I don't. I don't
always what was it?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I said, Cheese, Have you been cutting off the ends
of them again?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Oh? Yeah, Well no I haven't, but that does make
you your dreams extremes. I've just been waking up and
I don't always remember how intense they are. But I
just wake up knowing that that was like a wild
ride on the weekend. Though I did wake up and
I remembered the contents of my dream.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Can I just can I say I'm not opposed to
dream chat, but I do know a lot of people. True, now,
we're not gonna this isn't going to become a show
where we just rehash our dreams, is it.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
No, no, no no, even though I've tried to get
it over the line to no no, no no no,
trust me, this goes somewhere, and I feel like a
lot of people have been in this position. So I
dreamed that I was with another man, and at the
time when I was with the other man, so I
think it was at a party or something. The next
(11:45):
day I was getting married to BJ and I didn't
realize at the time when I was obviously what this
meant that I was set to get married. So when
I'm at the wedding, all of this guilt just fell
on me like a shower, and I was so overwhelmed.
And I remember going to my friend Sophie and I said, Sophie,
this has happened, and then she didn't give me good support,
and I just felt horrendous Medie, like I have never
(12:06):
felt so.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Guilty in my life. This is all just in the dream,
a dream and.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
A dream if you're just training and this is just dream.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Who is the guy?
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Honestly, he wasn't even my type. It wasn't worth that
was it me? And no no before no, no, no,
you didn't make a feature. But the guy actually rocked
up at the back of the wedding. He was in
the like he was within one hundred two hundred meters
and I remember thinking, what is he doing here? What
is he to get him out? But I woke up
(12:36):
and I have never felt so relieved for a dream
to be a dream, you know what I mean. But
in that moment, I should have kept quiet, and I
should just keep it. You can't keep quiet I may
have used it against my husband BJ when I woke up,
because I woke up really grumpy. I think i'd been
up in the night with a two year old and
(12:56):
I just woke up with a bit of sess right,
and I'm looking fast and what do you do? I
can't remember it because I think I wanted him to
help with Charlie. That I was something like that, like
I was just tired. When I'm tired, I'm not a
nice person. And then I said, well, I cheated it
on you in my dream.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Last And then I walked off.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
And he looked at me and he goes, did you
really just try and hold something against me?
Speaker 2 (13:21):
Did you say it with the tone of and if
you're not bloody here for.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
What? Horrible?
Speaker 4 (13:28):
You?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
You know, so horrible? So I thought, look, we could
have been a fart with us this afternoon. Oh wait,
hundred of the hats. What happened after the dream was
there's some drama. Were you motivated to absolutely change your life?
Because I feel like sometimes you wake up and they
really do have a big impact. Maybe it was a
very tough conversation with a partner. What happened after the dream?
(13:51):
I wait, hundred the hat. The podcast, we are talking
dreams and I know I mete. You're not a fan
of dream, but my drama, My dream had drama. Okay,
you're beautiful, what a poor man?
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Your beautiful husband BJ But it.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Was like in the dream, I didn't know that I
had him as a partner, and then the next day
we're getting married. And honestly, the girl I felt was
just awful when I woke up. You know how you
can't shake that feeling for a while. I just felt
so awful, and then I was like, oh my god,
thank God, thank god that didn't actually happen.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
So you throw it in his face.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
In his face, I was like, hey, I just want
you to know that I tell it on you. Okay,
So I'm still got it. We wanted to know what
happened after the dream. You can give us a called
eight hundred the Hits or text four for eight seven.
We've got Meek joining us.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
Hello Meg, Hi, guys, how's it going.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
You're not doing bad? What happened after the dream and
what was the dream?
Speaker 5 (14:51):
It's a huge backstory. I won't go onto it, okay,
short story. Had a crush on this guy for years
and years and years, ended up in a really bad relationship,
went away with him for a couple of weeks over Christmas.
He had a dream about the other guy, broke up
with him after the dream, moved to Israel to be
(15:13):
with the other guy.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
What because you had a dream about him?
Speaker 5 (15:18):
I dreamed about it and then I ended up getting
letdens from him from Israel, professing his love for me.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Why did.
Speaker 5 (15:29):
That movie I love you marrying me? I want you
to have my children drop? I was twenty one years old,
dropped everything and moved to Israel to be with the
other guy.
Speaker 2 (15:37):
And the way, what was happening now?
Speaker 5 (15:42):
He treated me like shite? Oh on no, I ended
up in a country knowing no one.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
Oh, knowing me.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
But are you happy now? Are you happy now? Most importantly?
Speaker 5 (15:52):
Oh yeah, yeah, very very very happy. Married to my
darling for twenty four years. Time ago.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
But some story and heinz me. Don't listen to the
dream now.
Speaker 5 (16:04):
Yeah, we we're young and stupid.
Speaker 6 (16:06):
Yeah you know.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
I was twenty one, he was twenty four. He was
working for the United Nations. Oh my god, wow, in
our lives so we're at a movie.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
We don't have long enough? But you and I are
going to sit down for a dream because I feel
like some stories to tell me.
Speaker 5 (16:25):
I'd love to say with you for a drink?
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Man, right, Hey, get on you, Meg. We're going to
hook you out with the hell PiZZ about you. We've
got to get to the best song ever shalld. We
should we take my more comman, We've got Jan joining us,
all eight hundred the hats. What did you do after
the dream? Jan?
Speaker 3 (16:40):
My dream? My dream is a flat tire.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Well?
Speaker 3 (16:44):
I had a dream I was heating up to Auckland
on a Saturday. So the Friday night, when I went
to bed, I dreamed that I pulled around the corner
of the Natier intersection onto the main highway to Auckland,
and in my dream, I got flat tire fairly close
to that intersection. And the next day I headed up
to Auckland and I wasn't even thinking about it, and
(17:06):
I went from the intersection heading to Auckland when my
tire went slept.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Oh God, prophetic dream. We're never going to hear the
end of this now from PJ. I told you, G
You're like gateway to psychic? Are you now a psychic?
What do you do for a living.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
Well, let's just say I'm really cautious about things like
my visions in my dream.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Wow, Meg, shouldn't have listened to the dream. You should
have listened to the dream.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
And I think you and I need to sit down
in the podcast.
Speaker 7 (17:47):
That the People's the People's Poll, everybody comes together, it's the.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
People with us.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
Yeah, I'm back. I'm back at the People's Pole. We
do this every day on the show now, where you
get to weigh in on a certain issue. May be
an issue that's in the news. It maybe something that's
happened to us in our lives or something to our
friends today. Matthew McLain, what is.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
The topic we got talking about? What you do when
you go up for maybe like brunch or dinner with
a group of people when it gets to the end
of the night. Do you split the bill like straight
down the middle, you know? Or do you go and
itemize every single thing so someone says, well, I got
the Caesar salad and the glass of one, so I'll
(18:35):
pay for that. Or do you just go there's four
of us, let's just split it in four and we'll
all pay an equal amount.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I'm just thinking of two different situations right now, and
I feel like in a brunch setting, I would probably
itemize because I feel like, oh, yeah, i've got a coffee,
I've got a little juice on the side, and then
my bricket. I'll pay for those items. But then we
actually went out for a nice long lunch over the
holiday period and we ended up just splitting at the end.
(19:03):
It was two couples, We had two couples, and it
was just easier to split. But then I felt really
bad afterwards because I was drinking and one of the
other girls wasn't right, so my drinks would have been
substantially more expensive thing, and that I never followed up
whether oh I should have paid. Oh, I just felt
really bad.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Yeah, it's a hard one as well. If you're the
person that's making the call, you know, someone will often
be the person that will just go should we just
split it, split it down the middle?
Speaker 8 (19:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Yeah, yeah, but you never want to be there person.
I love splitting because I just think it's so much cleaner,
And you know, I hate dawdling, So the faster I
can get out of a cafe or a restaurant, the better.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
But even if someone's ordered like quite a bit more
than you. You don't care. You just prefer the path
of least resistance. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
Absolutely, plus plus I feel like I hold my own
when it comes to like.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Ordering, you're that guy.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
I might be. I might be the more complicated order.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
All right, Well, least get the people's thoughts in it.
On the People's Pole today, text through to four four
eight seven. Do you split the bill or do you itemize?
And maybe you've got some situations where you do one
or the other. Text through now four four eight seven
and we'll come back and reveal the results next Maddy
and PJ.
Speaker 2 (20:18):
Mady and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 7 (20:21):
That's the key Pole's poll, the People's Pole, everybody comes together.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
It's the People's Pole.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
Do you itemize or do you split the bill? Is
the question for the People's Pole Today. You can text
through four four eight seven. Some mixed opinions coming through.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Many Yeah, I'd say a lot of itemized. Yeah, messages,
I'd say that's generally the You can say that it's
going Someone did say it's circumstantial. If it's a shared
lunch and we're sharing dishes, then you split. But if
you're getting your own meals with couples that are dinner
then always our own. I ain't paying for no one's
(20:58):
surf and turf.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Someone said you got to set the expectations at the start.
I don't want to be paying for someone who's just
let loose. Seven years ago, went out with the friends extended,
a bunch of friends. They were ordering jugs of cocktails.
Me and another friend of one drink. Not fair at all,
Nicole is joining us, hand the heads. What are your thoughts.
Speaker 9 (21:21):
I'm happy if it's just like a small group of people.
And like if I have a mocktail because I don't
drink and everyone else has like one or three alcoholic drinks,
then I don't mind. The mocktail is about the same post.
But when if I just go out for dinner and
I have a lemon limon Bidders or something like that,
and you know, like I'm Maine on one train, everyone
else is drinking like six or eight drinks each. Yeah,
(21:45):
hard to swallow. Yeah, because generally I'm the driver, sober
driver as well, So I'm.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
Doing what good for you And that's totally fair enough.
If it's not. If it doesn't year or even then
I think that that's when you that's when you start itemizing.
I mean, if you'll have exactly the same thing, a
mane and a glass of wine, it's probably just easier
to split.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
I love this message. I'd split the bill with you,
two honkys anytime. I like twenty year old Taylor Porte
in Crayfish.
Speaker 7 (22:12):
We are on that money. My friend must be my
Many and PJ the podcast finish me off.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
All right, it is time for a game. I don't
know how long this is gonna last, but Many thinks
that we should put to the test my quotes, because
I will admit sometimes I don't get them entirely correct.
I feel like I start strong with a quote, but
when it comes to completing a quote totally accurately, I
wouldn't say it's a strength.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
It blessed you as well, because you really try. So often.
I have seen you try to say something so profound
and you know where you want to go with it.
You just don't know how to quite finish it all.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
It just doesn't hit home. No, I just stuff up
the last couple of words. Okay, So this way.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Three quotes for you, and I want you to see
how well you do to finish the quote.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Okay, okay, okay, can I win something or just pride? Sure?
Speaker 2 (23:12):
I mean pride I've got. I'm sure I can dig
something up around the office. I think this might maybe
a packet of chips out there.
Speaker 1 (23:17):
Or something like that, one thousand dollars or something.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
It's pin for you if you want.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Okay, okay for the hurts pin, all right, I.
Speaker 2 (23:23):
Grab something from the chemist house. If you want a
Musashi energy drink?
Speaker 1 (23:28):
What it should?
Speaker 2 (23:28):
That be?
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Nice?
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Okay, I'll get you one of those if you can
do it.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
From Musashi drink. Okay, what have we got?
Speaker 2 (23:34):
Okay? First quote? A rising tide.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
A rising tie is a rising tide, not atomic cann
A rising tide brings joyous ends. No, No, A rising
tide and a lowering ground. What does that mean? I
don't know. A rising tide dry sand, No, it'll be
(24:07):
witsand oh no, Medie, can you give me like the idea?
Speaker 2 (24:10):
Now you're just saying wood just putting woods?
Speaker 1 (24:12):
A rising tide comes once a month. No, No, it's
more than that. Is a rising tide, a rising sun.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
It's all Can I shall I tell you kind of
the general gist of what it's about. It's it's the
idea of like a buoyant economy, like an improved economy
will benefit everyone.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
A rising tide of rising society. No, okay, a rising
tide just brings joyous times.
Speaker 2 (24:45):
You see that at the start. No, it's not rising tide.
A rising tide lifts all boats. The economy rises, everyone rises.
Speaker 1 (24:55):
Not a great start. I'm not going to get the
massage drink an I.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
Not at this rate, but I'll give you a second one.
You can't make an omelet.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
You can't make an omelet, but you can buy the eggs.
You can't make an omelet without milk. No, you can't
make an omelet without the chick in. You can't make
an omelet unless you're willing to put in the work.
Oh my god. You can't make an omelet and not
(25:26):
eat it.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
That's true. Well, I mean you could not eat it,
but it would be foolish to make an omelet and
not eat it. You can't make an omelet without breaking
a few weeks.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
Oh, that's good.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
I know. It's the quote.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
One more quote.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
If you lie down with dogs, you.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Sleep with the dogs, flakers and you fall asleep with
the dogs. If you lie I know something about sleeping
dogs lie. Sleeping dogs lie, So if you lie with
the dogs, they will sleep.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
I felt peaceful or something.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
Well, I just know that there is the dogs life.
If you lie it down with dogs, you might get fleas.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Well kind of, I'm going to give that to you.
If you lie down with dogs, you'll get up with fleas.
I'll get that. Man. It was touch and go, but
I'll get that mustache you drink out to you, all right.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
I'm so Sorryzilla. That was incredibly painful to endure. I
was one out of three.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Betty and the podcast that I am coming up two
years at the end of this year that I've been
married to my husband Ryan.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
That's a long time these days, coulation.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I'd like to I always, you know what, I would
like to have, always thought that I would at least
make it to two years.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
Well, look, pat yourself on the back. In all seriousness,
I think that's a beautiful thing and you should cherish
every day.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
I will say, I don't know how much longer it's
going to last.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
What do you mean?
Speaker 2 (27:01):
I was walking Ryan and I went out with a
friend the other night and we were walking down the
street and I got a little bit stuck behind them.
I got there was a beautiful shot of the sky
tower and I was taking a photo of it from
a grand and so they kept walking, so I had
to like run to catch up to them, and so
I'd missed part of the conversation. When I caught up
with them, I was saying to our friend, yeah, when
(27:22):
we get divorced, And I said, excuse me, when we
get divorced?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Sorry? What?
Speaker 2 (27:30):
And he was saying, when not we get divorced? Not
have He said, what would be fun as if we
had like joint part Like we'll have joint parties, like
joint divorce parties. But then he said we won't be
able to have them on the same night because then
there'll be a competition as to who goes to which party.
I said, I loved it.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
He's thought about that.
Speaker 2 (27:50):
It was even two years in you and you're already
planning your divorce party. What have you seen out an
outlook calendar, invite for it and everything?
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Was he dead pan serious?
Speaker 2 (27:59):
He was kind of just OK. I hope he was joking,
we're not getting divorced. We're fine, We're fine, We're fine.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
Yeah, but it.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Got me thinking, what would you do? If you got divorced,
do you have a divorce part? Is that a thing?
Speaker 1 (28:11):
It's definitely by this sounds of a more common thing
these days. I mean, immediately, my judgmental bells go off
a bit and I think we'll take he But then
I think, actually, it's probably actually quite a cathartic, healthy
thing to do to kind of honor the end of
a marriage. Do you know what I mean? Yeah, And
if you choose to do a little party and it's tasteful,
(28:32):
I don't know, not screw don't even feels good for you.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Ryan had said to my our friend, I wouldn't be allowed.
Ryan said, I can't have my party on the same
night as Maddie's party because he would be too He'd
be too worried that people would tune up to Ryan's.
And that is true.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
It was always awk when you have to choose the friends. Afterwards.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
My fear would be I would be the drop in
party at five Theory and be like, hey, I'm just
quickly calling and I've got another party to go to
believe it's right the party?
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Oh what one hundred? The hats as a number, or
you can text four for eight seven. Have you had
a divorce party or some really interesting way that you
honored the end of the marriage.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Yes, I love that.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
What was that? Yeah, maybe it was a party. Maybe
it was like did you in the dress? Did you
do the burning of the dress some kind of ceremony
or ritual to mark the end of that time of
your life. Give us a call a light, hundred the
hats so you can text four for eight seven. You
can stay in honim.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Maddy and PJ Madi in PJ the podcast.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
And we're talking what you did after the divorce. Hundred
the hat so you can text fre for eight seven.
Speaker 2 (29:44):
Some great texts coming in. Someone said, my friends have
organized a divorce party for me in three weeks when
it's officially processed. Will be a ceremonial burning of the
marriage certificate and then dyeing my dress different colors before
cutting it up.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
So we were saying, like someone told me that if
you if you don't honor the marriage, it kind of
like hits you like grief and you actually need to
give it the time or else you don't process it properly.
So I mean, I think this is a great thing. Oh,
handa the hat so you can teach for four eight seven,
Denise is joining us? Denise, what did you do after
the divorce?
Speaker 6 (30:20):
So a few months after we separated, I kind of
felt really weird not wearing my rings anymore, and so
he had left his. It was reasonably amicable, but he
left his ring behind. He didn't wear it, and so
I decided to melt them down and make myself something else,
totally different that didn't look like any of the other rings,
(30:41):
and by now where that instead kind of as a yeah,
so it's still got the mainstone from my engagement ring,
and I had just spend a little bit more and
put a couple more diamonds in it. But I've got
this totally unique one of the compass that put honors.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Yeah, and that Scott his ring in it too, Denise,
Or are they two separate things?
Speaker 6 (31:00):
No, No, it's got to it was his ring, my ring,
the engagement ring. And then I actually had had a
couple of inheresed ones from my great aunt, but I
never walked because they were really old fashioned. So yeah,
well more gold chap.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Really cool idea.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
I love it. Nice, nice, nice work.
Speaker 1 (31:18):
This is my favorite text to celebrate my divorce. I
went to Rainbow's End with my exes and laws and
the kids and had a whale of a time. I'm
so glad I keep their friendship through and after the divorce.
I don't hold it against them their son So his
brother turned out to be a douche canon We go
to rainbows in every year now.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
I love them.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
So good.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Mary and PJ Mady and PJ the podcast that I
was just saying before I went to Wellington on the
weekend to visit one of my best friends who has
two beautiful children and one of them is my god son.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
She's a busy woman, she's got a lot going on,
and so I said to her, Hey, put me to work,
like I'm I'm not here for a free ride, a
free meal. Put me to work, a t and a
cup of tea. Anything you need done around the house,
I'm happy to help out. And she simple, Actually, you know,
this is the beauty of long term friendships. There's no
there's no pussy footing right eating about the bush. No,
(32:15):
you just get straight to the point you want something done. Yeah,
absolutely I do. And she said, there's actually a couple
of things. First of all, can you move this big cheer?
So I had to move it had to move a cheer?
Speaker 1 (32:25):
Sorry, does she know who frieden? Very well?
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Well, she was as surprised as anyone to see me.
I lifted that cheer like it was nobody's business and
moved it down.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
All well, how sweety? How long did it take?
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Its? Easy as mate? Easy, I've been, I've been you
know me. I've been shifting to at the gym, pumped
in daily mate. Other things she asked me to do,
and this is where I went. I went, Okay, the
cheer is one thing. She said to me. I've got
this cabinet that I've bought. I need I need to
put some stuff in it, and she said, can you
(33:00):
put it together? I said, what do you mean? She said,
it's a flat pack? I said, okay, my beautiful friend,
we've been friends for how long? And she said I know?
And I said, do you think I would have any
idea how to put a flat pack together? She said,
I've got faith in you. So I pulled out the
instructions and started to look at it. I pulled all
the pieces, lay them all out and started to go
(33:23):
through the instructions and it said I needed some tools.
So I said to her, can you get me a spanner.
Speaker 1 (33:30):
I bet that was a spanner in the works.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
So she went she said, yeah, I've got one in
the garage. So she went out and she came back
with a spanner. Oh my god, that's the wrong That's
not what I that's not what I meant. And I went, oh,
I mean meant a screwdriver. So that was my first mistake.
And I thought, well, this is this is doesn't bode well,
does her. But she came back with the screwdriver. I
(33:55):
started to slowly but surely put everything together, and it
was things were moving like I was figuring it out.
I was putting the pieces together, and it was all
slotting together. I got the doors of the cabinet on,
I screwed in the handles, and then I went round
the back because I'd been very front focused. Oh god,
(34:17):
and I went round the back and there was this
big hole, like, there's a big hole in the top
with something that was coming out of the hole. And
I didn't know how to put it back in, and
I didn't know how to cover up the hole. And
I was here, I was flicking through the instructions and
I saw nothing about a hole in the back of
(34:38):
the in the back of the.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
It like a hole for the plugs to go through.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Why would there be plugs in the cabinet though, sometimes
this was just like like shelves.
Speaker 1 (34:49):
Yeah, sometimes they do that. So then you can put
like a little light on there or something, and then
you put the hole, yeah, put the call through it.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
There was this little metal thing that I had screwed
into the top the cabinet that then was coming out
of it, and I was going, I don't even know
what this bit's for. And I was flicking through the
instructions and I was seeing if I was missing a piece,
and I couldn't see anything. And in the end, I went,
you know what, the doors of the cabinet open. The
shelves are in there, and they're not falling off. If
(35:18):
we just put the cabinet up against the back wall,
no one will not no one will ever know. And
she went, you know what, It's better than I would
have done. So it's fine. But I did feel a
little bit bad because I thought I hear I was thinking,
I've absolutely nailed this, and then I looked around the
back and I hadn't quite nailed it.
Speaker 1 (35:36):
And then it falls apart. It's oh my honestly, the
number I just I don't I don't do flip pecks
anymore because I just I've done the wrong side and
it just looked spangled all of them. So I just
handed to my husband. I just way better.
Speaker 2 (35:52):
But I always go to there, what's the add that
Diyatt's in our DNA? And I feel like so and
your DNA not at all of my But I feel
like so many people out there must have had that thought, right,
you know that that thought of I can do this,
I don't need to call the professionals, and then it
just turns into disaster.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Well, let's open up the phones. Oh waite, hundred the hats.
When did you think that you could fix that and
it backfired and you had to call in the professionals.
Give us a cool oh hundred the hats. We've got
some help pets about to give away for you Monday night,
or you can text In four four eight seven the podcast.
Speaker 2 (36:32):
I got tasked with putting a flat pack cabinet to
be together over the weekend by one of my friends.
I thought I nailed it, and I was very surprised
because the whole time I just kept waiting for some
sort of screw up, and then lo and behold, I
went round the back and it was a big hole
in the back of it. And I have no idea
where the whole came from or how you were meant
to fill it up.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
I still think you might be in luck and it
could just be in a little cable hole.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Okay, I'm going to go.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Just say that for the rest story. But we did
want to open up the fires this afternoon or this evening. Now,
I'll wait hundred the hats. When should you have just
called the professionals? You tried yourself at failed and you
should have just gone straight to the pros. Gary, what
happened to you?
Speaker 4 (37:14):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (37:14):
I thought it'd be clever and I would change the
bullcock in the water tank and the roofs of the
house and the ceiling, right, yeah, And I got up there,
and I thought i'd turned off all the water, and
of course I unscrewed the ballcock or the water coming
squirting out. I hadn't, I hadn't turned it.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Oh no, oh, no, soaking.
Speaker 8 (37:36):
Drip through all the ceiling, dripping out through the light,
through the light switches. We had to move out of
the house sixt week.
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Gary, I tell you what. We're just so stubborn. Ask
were like, oh we can do it. No, you got it.
Speaker 5 (37:53):
You see Gary?
Speaker 2 (37:54):
Are you are you a married man?
Speaker 1 (37:57):

Speaker 8 (37:57):
I was nearly divorced, say.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
The podcast.
Speaker 1 (38:06):
So my dear son Charlie is acquiring more and more
vocabulary every day. It is the best thing, but it's
also quite terrifying how much they are sponges and how
much they absorb of what you say.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Yeah, I like what was his first word? Ah, it was.
Speaker 1 (38:24):
Dada or mama? Like it was it went between us
like he'd have favorites to go mama. He'd sort of
play us off between each other. The other day though,
I said to him, Charlie, so we go because he
still hasn't said his name Charlie. He'll say so many
other things. I'll be like, who am I? He'll go mama,
and then I'll point to beach and he'll go I'll
go who's this and he'll go dead dart and then
I'll go who are you?
Speaker 2 (38:44):
And he says bugger, bugger.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
I don't know where there's come from, but do you
know what I think there's been some mixed lines of
communication because we used to always call him Bubba right.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
He goes around saying, Bugger, I thought you were going
to say, I thought you were going to say. He
just like paused and had this real existential crisis where
he goes.
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Who am I?
Speaker 2 (39:06):
Who am I? Oh my god, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
And then the other day Bej had when we were
on holiday, I'd gone up up to the lighthouse for
a bit of a run walk. BJ couldn't join me
because he had an injured ankle, so he took Charlie
on a bit of a detour and they went into
a cafe and got like a takeaway scan and a
little coffee. And is this standing in line Charlie. BJ's
(39:32):
like holding Charlie and Charlie sort of down by his
legs and he's sort of just standing there. And he's
quite an attractive girl in front of BJ and the line,
and she's wearing really like basically, I'm just gonna be
her butt looks real great, like the tights.
Speaker 2 (39:46):
The tights look great.
Speaker 1 (39:49):
She looks good.
Speaker 2 (39:49):
And was like, Okay, come up what you're putting down?
Beja's like, you know.
Speaker 1 (39:53):
Just don't know where to look like you just sweet ass?
What does a near two year old Charlie do oh god,
bam bam.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
Oh my god, I just say.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
Bam no, I'm on the ground, like if I'm walking
in the often he will just come up behind me
and go bam bamt like playing with my cheeks and
need to probably drip.
Speaker 2 (40:18):
He is his father's sound.
