Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Hits Drive with Maddy and Paja thanks to Chimis
Werehouse the Real House of Fragrances and on that Hello everybody,
I hope you had a great weekend. Welcome to the podcast.
I'm still ruminating over the decision to say that.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
The trainer was hot at my brain new gym.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
You see it not once but twice, and now I've
actually gone and said it four times because then I
repeated it in another break podcast. No, I just I'm
backing it up because actually there was just an inappropriate
thing to say. I shouldn't have said that because he
was actually just really lovely and you know how sometimes
you just get taken away by someone's like really friendly character,
vibe and vibe and I just felt like a real nice.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Vibe, vibe is sexy.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Vibe is everything. I still think and like some guys
look or whatever, but like.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Funny guys get the gals or the guys like, do
you agree?

Speaker 3 (01:02):
I mean, I'm gonna shoot myself.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Your husband's funny?

Speaker 4 (01:07):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:07):
No, no, I do know, No, I do, absolutely, he
is hilarious what I was going to in my experience,
they don't because I spent my entire twenties single. But
then I was like, wait, that.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Makes You're just saying you're funny.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
I'm saying I'm funny. Yeah, I know what you mean.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
It's kind of infuriating when people do something that you're like, well, no.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
That's bullshit.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
The hotties are always obviously hot guys, but you know what,
if you're looking for substance, a good, down to earth, grounded,
funny guy.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
It's just nice. Just they get the hot girls.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Yeah, he is funny. He is funny in his own way.
He's not like a stand up comedian, but he's quite funny.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Yeah. I on Friday, I had to shoot off after
filming the after recording the podcast to go on Date Night.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Oh that's right.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
How was that? It was good? Except I cut there
Like I had this voucher for a restaurant, and we're
terrible at using vouchers, like so bad. They just constantly
expire before we've had a chance to use them.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Like what's the average like length of expiring with those things?

Speaker 3 (02:18):
Remember I went to a certain clothing store to see
if I could use a voucher that exp puffer three days,
three years ago, and they were like, I don't want to.
They were like we're we're fear but we're not, you know,
but there's also but yeah, don't you take the pers
don't you take the pass? So anyway, I went over
to this restaurant and thrived boozed. It'd been out day

(02:44):
drinking all day. It had like a boozy lunch and
then it carried on into the afternoon and so I
went to they have this very lovely, like intimate date
night dinner.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
It's hard.

Speaker 3 (02:54):
He wasn't drunk, but he was like he.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Was just a bit more giddy than you. And you're like,
I'm going to get on your.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
You know.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
It's kind of real estate agent thing to have quite
a little lunch.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
It doesn't he doesn't do it often to be for you,
doesn't it? So I forgave him for it. Yeah, I
love a light lunch. What a good dinner too?

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Was that?

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah? What what was the best part?

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Took us through it? It was like Michael Mirrits the
chief and he's got like this Pacific Fusion restaurant and
Crispy Pork Hawk kind of like boo buns. What else
did we hear? So good? Oysters? We had a couple

(03:36):
of osters.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
We never do oysters it raw or cooked.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Raw, Yeah, but with like a really young vinegar.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
You got to get the.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Is a cute thing to do.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yes, yes, yeah, you understand why people are like you
got to try and do it, and like life just
gets in the way and you don't and then when you.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Do do it, you're like, oh, this is nice. Would
you do afterwards? Husband? Sorry, I regret that. I regret No. No,
on that note coming up in the podcast.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
Let's be screwing up my paper awkwardly.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
It's been a weird vibe today. Monday's are hard.

Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah, something in the water.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Something in Yeah, something in the water.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
But that's right because Monday is done now coming up,
you'll hear it. Finish me off the quiet game where
I have to do maybe at attempting to finish, my
brain was on that I could have been better.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
Could also, like I would say, history has proven you
probably couldn't.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
I'm so bad at the regal. Also, I reveal the
most humiliating bit of mail that I've ever received on
the weekends.

Speaker 3 (05:03):
A great story and I wish that I had been
celebrated for something I did over the weekend. It was
a hero moment for me and there was no one
around once I'd finished it to honor me.

Speaker 2 (05:16):
Was it a hero moment or was it just part
and parcel of living in a house. It is together,
It is.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
That, but also I was the one that actually got
off my arse and dis so hero.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
You usually do it? Does Ryan usually do this thing?

Speaker 3 (05:33):
No, I'd say, we're pretty even, that's yeah, this one.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Would you have given him the recognition? And absolutely I
would have, Yeah, how much you'd want it?

Speaker 3 (05:44):
I do it for him, not because I'm a good person,
but because I want him to then do it for me.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
All right, everybody at the podcast enjoy and O CAAs
you tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
Bye may the podcast hate peage. Just before we were
talking about me going to run club on the weekend
last week, you were telling me that you had grand
plans this weekend, and so I thought I need to
check in. Did you follow through with what you said
you were going to do?

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah? I see.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
I had that age old like eperphany that everyone does
sort of like once or twice a year, where you're like, no,
this is it. It's time to make bitter life choices.
It's time to get good habits and my daily routine
So I decided to go to the gym because I've
got a toddler and I've been doing workouts at home
for a while and anyone who's got a todd on
knows that just ends up quite chaotic. Because I was like, no,

(06:38):
I'm going to have the sole focused time for me
to just go swit it out.

Speaker 3 (06:42):
Because does Charlie try and get involved with you.

Speaker 1 (06:45):
Anytime I'm on the floor, He'll climb on me and
so I'll end up doing like a fully weighted press up.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
I started playing feat with him, So you've thrown the
ball so that he would get out of your waist
so you could finish a workout.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Yeah, So I like it's time to go to the
gym and I I did the old just walk on
in today and I was like, oh, should I.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
Just called off and him and like a bit of
a hids up.

Speaker 1 (07:09):
Because it was also right, like it sort of fell
in line with a class that was starting at the
same time, and usually you know with classes, you've got
a book in advance, right, So I just rock up
and I start talking to the guy and it's like it's.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
Almost like therapy. You sort of start talking and then
they're like, well, what are you looking for?

Speaker 1 (07:25):
And I'm like, well, this is what's going on in
my love and he's like, you know what, We're open
at this time and you can have this and look,
we can help you out. And I just felt like
a warm hug as soon as I walked in the earth.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
You're an absolute fell You fell for the sales pitch.
I fell for it.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
I did. He was quite gud so really happy. He's
not least n but yeah, so it was really good.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
And then I went and I did the class and
it turns out I've actually got I'm actually gonna have
to leave probably like halfway through so I can get
to work at time. But at least I go for
like half a class some days of the way. However,
there are no amenities at the gym, which I was
really banking on, because there's no shower at the office

(08:08):
where I'm is, and so I've got a small window.
I've got no time to go and shower anywhere else.

Speaker 3 (08:15):
So three days awak, that's rogue.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
It is a little rogue.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
So three days a week, I'm just gonna have to
go straight from the gym to work.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
Are you telling me you've roped up to the office
without showering the workout.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Well, I've done like the old handbase and like splash.
You know, no, I've exposed myself. I don't smell that bad.
I'm just close and okay.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
Well, the poor people in the office.

Speaker 1 (08:41):
Well, luckily there's not many people in my office. In fact,
everyone's going.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
Home small of you. They've gone because of you. They're like,
oh what is that?

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Mady and PJ?

Speaker 3 (08:55):
Mady and PJ.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
The podcast what are you Tuckling?

Speaker 1 (09:02):
You made me laugh so hard because I said the
gym the gym was cute today. I just said away.
I said it as a throwaway commune. And then someone
that was in the class was listening. Wasn't it that
it was just a throwaway commune.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
I was just saying.

Speaker 1 (09:14):
They were like really friendly. He won great start to
the new gymanship. Look, we're always on the hunt for
cheap properties because I tell you what there are diamond
does in these days?

Speaker 2 (09:25):
You very hard.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
Do you try finding a cheap, cheap and cheerful property
in Auckland. It's a bloody.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Mission, I know, and around around the country freefing up.
But there is a secluded seven bid property up for
sale overseas for just eighty thousand pounds where well. The
properties are located on Coppensay, one of Scotland's Orkney Ales,

(09:53):
which is an uninhabited island measuring a mere zero point
two eight square miles. Described as the renom opportunity of
a lifetime, the two story main building has seven bedrooms,
along with two outbuildings including a shed and tractor shit,
as well as two helicopter pads for access to the mainland.
And that is where it gets interesting. Basically, to get

(10:14):
anywhere or to have any access to civilization, you have
to have a chopper or go by the sea, so
you have to fly or boat anywhere you go.

Speaker 3 (10:24):
I'll tell you what. It's an introverts dream, isn't it.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
And I suppose actually, if you're paying that little on
a property, maybe you could you know, helicopter yeah, and
a little helicopter license, maybe you could actually entreprene the air.
But to get me thinking, like you know, when properties
just seem too good to be true and then there's
like a little casa, there's always a cat.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
No property that is just normal and perfect and easy
going would be eighty thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
So it's it's basically like a lighthouse, like just this lighthouse,
the buildings around it. It's pretty gram you'd be it'd
be pretty deprissing. At least you've got like a whole
lot of maids too. It'll be freezing, absolutely freezing. At
least you had like a whole group of friends that you.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
Go into like a little commune.

Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, and it didn't have it the whole island totalan
it could be a wet and if you're chipping on the.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
Helicopter, that's that's that's cheap transportation.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
I think I think I got sucked into the list
of what it was like lifetime listing of a lifetime.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
The podcast.

Speaker 1 (11:36):
The meantime, I wanted to know what was the catch
with a property. We were talking about this eighty thousand
pound house out of Scotland.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
It's amazing, gorgeous views of the ocean.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Turns out it's so so isolated. To get anywhere you
have to take a boat like big big travel or
even get into a helicopter. So there'd probably be quite
a lot of costs that actually end up not being
so economical after.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
A Yeah, but I mean beautiful if you're if if
you like a little bit of peace and quiet.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Yeah, a lot of pieces, and I like one hundred has.
What was the catch with the property you moved into
and what happened with you?

Speaker 5 (12:13):
Well, we brought the house a lot lovely. It was
all brand new painted when we got into it. We
got a quote for the roof because it was a leak,
for eleven to fifteen thousand, and it ended up costing
us sixty.

Speaker 1 (12:26):
Oh yeah, yeah, what had happened in there was just.

Speaker 5 (12:33):
A lot more leaks because they'd freshly painted. You couldn't
see all the leak stains. Of course when it rained
buckets every where. It ended up costing US almost sixty thousand.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
So they had taken a paint brush over top of
the of the water mask.

Speaker 2 (12:49):
That's naughty.

Speaker 5 (12:51):
They painted the whole thing inside so you couldn't see
where the farmer is.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Is quite common behavior your husband, Ryan, he's in real estate,
you can I mean not that you guys talk the
ins and outs of all of us jobs, but do.

Speaker 3 (13:04):
You reget that it's a common vet I don't think
so it's not kind.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Of the small talk. You have over done her at that, Paula,
Oh hats Hi, Paula.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
Hi there, Hi.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
What was the catch with the property?

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (13:19):
My goodness. Okay, So we're very excited, and typically we
wanted to be environmentally friendly, and we looked at a
house and it had a lady who'd had chooks and
she had cats and she had a dog, and we
were very excited because she also had bees in the garden.
We thought, oh, this is excellence. This is kind of
what we want to emulate. So we got the sale,

(13:42):
got it through, and we'd taken possession, and I was
showing my mum around and I thought, oh my god,
what if you got on your legs?

Speaker 3 (13:49):
Um?

Speaker 2 (13:49):
I went and.

Speaker 6 (13:50):
Brasted anyway, it was pleased. I numped off. And then
so of course I'm annoyed because I've got two young children,
and I'm like, oh, I can't let my daughter crawl
on this, lord, this is just disgusting.

Speaker 7 (14:01):
You know.

Speaker 6 (14:01):
No way, So it a little wobbly, and my husband said,
don't worry. I thought it. I thought it. So he
went to a hardware chain and got lots of bombs,
flea bombs, that is, and tried to eradicate the problem,
which looked like we had done it. But we didn't
realize the life cycle of a flea, and they came back,

(14:22):
they die off, and then that we're eggs were still
there in the house, and I was inside itchy. It's worse.
I'm really up shit because I'm like, what have we
spent our money on? This is just a flea pit.
This is just so outsitting because that's not what we envisaged.

(14:43):
So we ended up having to get a really serious
plea exterminator that had to alert our local fire people
because when they have to do it, that looks like
there's so much smoke coming out of the ceiling that
the house of it's on fire because we lived in
a wooden house. So the whole district was in panic

(15:03):
thinking all these poor people would have just no, you
know you got red.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
Listed flee Oh yeah, you poor thing.

Speaker 2 (15:16):
Yeah. I am actually feeling a little bit, as.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
Honestly, I reckon some of my options are actually more profound,
so called well known sacts.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
The podcast that I got to yesterday to Sunday, and
I thought that one of two things is going to
happen today because Ryan was very busy with open homes,
is a real estate agent, so he was out most
of the day, and then he was going to the
pool for a swim. Afterwards he was like, I won't
be home till five point thirty. So I thought, well,

(19:29):
I've got the house basically to myself all day, So
one of two things is going to happen. One I'm
gonna lie on the couch all day and watch Real
Housewives of Salt Lake City, New Binge Worthy obsession. Or two,
I can actually get my a ento g and do
so many of the tasks around the house that I've
been meaning to do that I just keep putting off

(19:50):
and off and off. We've got we've got like an
office in our house, and it's just become this dumping ground, like.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
It's just same same thing.

Speaker 1 (19:59):
I think even every house who's got a room like that.
We've actually got two rooms. These bjay's like hunting gear
and all this fun. Honestly, it's just so tap. And
then our office when we were getting married, preparing the
wedding and stuff, everything that kind of was like random
stuff to do with the wedding just got plunked in there.

Speaker 2 (20:16):
I'm slowly getting through it. It's the best feeling.

Speaker 3 (20:19):
Every time I opened the door to that office, I
just go, oh my god, it's like you get your
It's like you in out as fast as you can.
You just want to ignore it, like you want to.
So I thought, I've got to clean the office, and
I've got to also clean my car as well. My
car is disgusting, so gross. So I did the good thing.

(20:42):
I took the dog for a walk, and then I
came back and I thought, no, I'm not watching Real housewives.
I'm getting on with the job. So I spent all
day used today cleaning and once i'd started, I was
just like, it's about out of bloody.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Once you start, you can't stop.

Speaker 3 (20:56):
I couldn't stop I was cleaning everything. Every single room
got a total like extreme makeover. I needed you remember
that show. I needed that guy tie the host to
be outside being like move that bus. It was so good.
Everything got so clean, the office immaculate, yes, the car perfect,

(21:16):
like beautiful. And once I was finished, I actually had
was done like reasonably early, and so I still had
hours to go before Ryan came home. And I just
kind of stood there and I looked around, and I
was like, there is no one here to congratulate me.
No one is here to acknowledge the fact that I've

(21:36):
just whipped my art off to clean this house in
this car, and I've just got to sit here and
just like pretend, you know, like it didn't even happen. Basically,
you did it because you wanted the recognition, recognition anything.
I didn't get anything. What about when he got home, though,
the bugger? Do you think he said anything he acknowledged

(21:56):
the house at all?

Speaker 1 (21:57):
I bet you you go something to it around here.
I woke it up, like when you get a carecut
and they don't notice, but they know something's a little
bit off.

Speaker 3 (22:05):
He said to me at one point, And you're in
a bad mood and I was like no, and then
I said, what do you think about the house? And
he goes, oh, that's what it is. I didn't acknowledge
that you'd clean. I didn't know you did it, and
please do because I spent a long time cleaning this thing.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Oh that's the worst.

Speaker 1 (22:24):

hero moment?

Speaker 7 (24:01):
So a couple of months ago in my neighbor left
the gate open and the baby the baby but it
so I picked it up. A car came out and
nearly hit the baby. I picked him up and took
him up to the parents, and the parents like, well,
why are you holding my baby? And took the baby

(24:22):
and walked inside and shut the door. I just save
your baby.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
It's not a little it's not a.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Music.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
That's an actual hero moment, thank you, okay, but you
didn't even really get the recognition at the time.

Speaker 2 (24:37):
They were like, give me my baby back.

Speaker 7 (24:39):
Yeah yeah, they thought them, why are you my baby?

Speaker 4 (24:43):

Speaker 1 (24:43):
It's a lot here here than I was expecting. As
just thinking, oh, you know, I left the door open
for this old lady at the post office.

Speaker 3 (24:49):
The office to shame. But well, how does how does
that make you feel? Jeez? Feel good?

Speaker 7 (25:01):

Speaker 3 (25:02):
Now they'll peeping your step for a month.

Speaker 7 (25:08):

Speaker 2 (25:11):
Actually, there's a lot that I expected me. Do we
finish the year?

Speaker 3 (25:16):
Do you think we just podcast?

Speaker 1 (25:22):
So before many I was saying that on the weekend
I received what is, hands down the most humiliating male
I have ever received.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
What is going on?

Speaker 2 (25:36):
So I was.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
Sipping through the letters as you do, and like you
know how you get to know the front of the leader.
You're like, oh, yeah, that one's my bank, that one's
district council.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
Sweet airs. They're telling me the rates.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
Jo oh this one. I've never seen this FONP before
and I got a little excited for a second. I
was like, oh my god, maybe I'm getting like a
random inheritance from relatives overseas or something.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
Yeah. I open it and.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
I'm like, do do do, and I start to read
the following. Dear Polly, we are writing to you as
the registered owner of a vehicle with number plate. Your
details have been obtained from the motor vehicle Register. At
twelve forty five pm on Saturday, twenty ninth, June twenty
twenty four, at petrol station, the vehicle received ninety three

(26:23):
dollars seventy eight cents.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Of fuel without full payment. Mate.

Speaker 1 (26:31):
This could have happened for a variety of reasons, such
as a mistake whilst you're using the pay it pump,
accidentally paying for someone else's fuel at the till, or
forgetting to pay on the day. Don't worry, we no
mistakes happen. You can pay by credit card, noal by visiting.
And at this point I'm thinking, hang on, is this

(26:51):
a scam, because you know there's so many scams going on,
and I'm actually he was right, Well, hang on, what
is this website?

Speaker 2 (26:57):
I've never heard of this website before.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
And then I love to the side of the message
and I've just sent you a picture of what was
on the page of the litter and it's probably the
closest of me being a criminal.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
That you'll ever find.

Speaker 3 (27:15):
Oh my god.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
So I had to seeing the scene. So I don't
know if you remember talking about this ages ago.

Speaker 1 (27:24):
I had to drive quite away to drop off a puppy,
and I was meeting people halfway, and it was a
long day, and I had a head cold, and I
was hanging out to get to this picture station where
I was dreaming of the snacks, and I was like, great,
and so I went and and what must have happened
that A I put the picturel on, I went in
a note, paid for my snacks, for the futrol.

Speaker 3 (27:46):
I did to run away.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
I did at runner.

Speaker 1 (27:50):
I was so embarrassed. I paid it as quick as
I could. But I thought, oh my god, I told mom. Listen,
my mom goes buzz happened to.

Speaker 2 (27:59):
Me the other day. I'm like, what is this a thing?

Speaker 3 (28:02):
So I am now, I'm now I'm now officially doing
a radio show with a criminal, and that that tarnishes
by association.

Speaker 1 (28:13):
Well, but actually, have you want to see the photo
so funny? You can text PJ. We'll send you the
link black.

Speaker 2 (28:21):
Text PJ to four for eight seven and you can
see the photo and share the humiliation with me.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
But I wanted to know this happened to you or
something very similar, or like did you was there footage
of you and you had no idea until after the fact?
And what was that? Oh? Eight hundred the hats you
can text war for eight seven. Mady and Criminal are
getting you home Monday afternoon. So it's actually a really
good sessam, and they didn't make me feel too guilty

(28:48):
about it.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
No, you look cute in the photo.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
I was in a denim jacket.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Maddy J.

Speaker 3 (28:58):
Madi and PJ the podcast. I'm always interested in this
day and age, like what industries are still thriving, because
you know, it's tough times out there for a lot
of businesses.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
It's so tough, and I feel every week you hear
of another really sad story and you're like, oh my god,
Like which ones are safe?

Speaker 3 (29:17):
Yeah? Have you heard of the lipstick theory?

Speaker 2 (29:20):
Ah? Are you talking about a dog? J?

Speaker 3 (29:26):
No, like actual lipstick.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
Sorry, I've been around a lot of dogs lately. We've
got puppies if you want to buy one in discrim No. Sorry,
I've just been around dogs a lot.

Speaker 2 (29:36):
I'm sorry. Is that not what you're talking about, I'm.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
Talking about actual lipstick. They say that in like a recession,
lipstick sales are like one of the things that continue
to go up because even though people are like scrimping
and saving, they still want to be able to treat
themselves and so they'll still like spend money on things
like lipstick.

Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, that's good. That's a good point.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
There's something about like the minds that you have when
you put on a lipstick.

Speaker 2 (30:05):
You just feel so much more of a bottlabe.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
Well, combine what you were thinking of initially and lipstick,
and you might get the new lipstick I think, which
is adult fun.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
Toys, adult toys. That does not surprise me. This industry
I remember hearing about it a couple of years.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
Ago, is booming.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
It is booming, and I don't know if it's a
COVID effect or if it's the breakdown of the stigma
around it, but it's just.

Speaker 2 (30:33):
Through the room.

Speaker 3 (30:34):
The Herald has published a website a story today that
says it is a multi million dollar industry in New
Zealand alone.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:45):
Yeah, These companies, like there's one company called Adult Toy Megastore.
They started selling Initially it was like an e commerce
website that sold everything from like cheese graters to gadgets,
to fitness equipment to clocks.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
And then all of a sudden, what you were talking about?
This crater is like no, it was like that sounds horrible.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
No no, No, don't know. Don't use a cheese grator.
Don't You'll end up in the emergency room page.

Speaker 1 (31:18):
No. Let you keep talking, because I keep misinterpreting all
of your meanings.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
To e commerce or sold all of these things, and
then some somewhere along the line they were like, we
might also add like toys.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
Yeah, got you, got you.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
And then all of a sudden they're like, this is
the thing we should be doing.

Speaker 2 (31:35):
And so they not greaters.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
They went away from the grade and stuck with one thing.
And now it's like absolutely booming. They do turn over
so much money every year from from these sales. And
so I was looking at some of the interesting statistics.
Do you want to hear some of some of these things.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
Help me with some stats.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
The town that is the largest buyer of these toys
per capital last.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
Year gray Mouth, No Wellington, no christ.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
No, no, no, just north of Wellington, tri Cape, Foxton,
Oh yes, yes, more toy sales per capital last year,
followed by towns like Winton, Welsford, Hawk Ticker or to
the Hunger, unbelievable.

Speaker 2 (32:31):
All of the small towns. I guess there's not much.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
You know, what do you think the most popular color
of toys?

Speaker 2 (32:39):

Speaker 3 (32:39):
Purple? It is purple. Okay, someone's an expert.

Speaker 2 (32:48):

out who this person is all right and fine on.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
It's just a.

Speaker 8 (36:07):
Quick trip up to the top, four of them all.
It's not even London Underground.

Speaker 3 (36:11):
The London ground has a beautiful system Siah. You stand
on one side, you walk on the other. That's how
it should be. It would make life so much, but
we're just not as public. Pull your head. In New Zealand,
the podcast man You and I have had had a

(36:33):
couple of bad runs with pets over the last year.
You you almost lost yours.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Last year, we had a couple of incidents with our
dear Figgy the lab. Yeah, she had a couple of
runaway moments for seven days. That's at one time seven days.
It was so streetful, but she came back in the
end and oh my god, it was the best and
she did.

Speaker 3 (36:56):
Mine wasn't quite those bad. But remember last week or
a couple of weeks ago, I X and we left
Otis outside on our lawn and we don't have a
fence at our house. And five hours later I went
to work and came home from work, and I was
just sitting on the doorstick.

Speaker 2 (37:13):
You should have lived, and then I should have finished
with my story.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
Because your story backing up after night doesn't sound that significant.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
I know, God, the wheels are off to that.

Speaker 3 (37:25):
I don't know what we've got.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
The fell and felt scary because no exactly, and it's
all relative.

Speaker 2 (37:31):
It's all relative.

Speaker 1 (37:33):
Because to kip it, oh my god, in the water today,
Oh no, he's lost s No.

Speaker 3 (37:45):
But since then, I just been thinking about what would
have happened at those five hours they should have been
gone missing.

Speaker 1 (38:00):
No, in that set and he's your baby, otis he
really is? And it's you know, and it's it's good
to think like that someone because you realize how much
they mean to here.

Speaker 3 (38:09):
It was a wake up. But I read this amazing story. This,
This will blow your mind. Page imagine this. I mean,
seven days is bad enough. Nothing, I mean, it's no
five hours left on the doorsteps. But imagine this. A
dog in America went missing. Nine years ago. A little
two year old called Gizmo slipped past a faulty gate

(38:31):
in the backyard of this Las Vegas home, went missing.
And after a while you think, well, that's that up
with the cast.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
Just get did he go?

Speaker 3 (38:43):
Yeah, put it all on red, didn't he? And but
this owner, because after a while I would be like, well,
that's that Gizmo's gone. But this owner, Judith says she
never stopped trying to find Gizmo.

Speaker 2 (38:56):
Stop her.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
Nine years later, she was climbing into a car to
drive across town to meet Gizmo at an animal hospital.
A woman had found the now eleven year old dog
and dropped them off at the vet. They scanned as
microchip and then they triggered this notification that that aluded

(39:19):
Judah to the fact that Gizmo was still alive, and wow,
oh my.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
God, so many people would give up in that situation totally,
Like the worst part of that would be not having
the closure. But oh my god, Judas, she got a.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
Little back and better than ever, baby, better than ever.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
Oh that's a nice feeling, mother, And Maddi medi Otis
like it doesn't matter, it's all relative. Five hours would
