The Hits Drive with Media and Paja thanks to Chimis
were House the Real House of Fragrances and on that
Hello everyone and welcome to the podcast. Hello, right, meeting adjourned.
What is on the agenda this evening?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I stole a protein bar from the kiss warehouse shelf.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Now that's a free for all. Yeah, I think so.
But you just feel a little bit more naughty.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
I felt.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Usually you'll just take like hand sanitizer or shaving crease.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Well I did feel a little bit naughty. But then
I realized I have become such an office scrounge.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Because I did and this job, because we're in here
at the time of day when you get the cravies.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yes, so I went. I often will go out into
the into the into the office and walk around going,
this is one.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Any snacks that guy?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Any snacks?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Do you get?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Any?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Thanks? What do you what? What would you tune your
nose up at?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Like?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
When do you think you have kind of crossed the
lines of hygiene?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Oh that's a good question. M Do you mean, like,
what would I say? Not? What would I say? What
would you?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
What would you? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah, yeah, I mean if someone was offering me like
part of the actual meal, like I feel like helping
yourself to someone's chips or like helping yourself to someone's
snaky food is.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
But if someone was.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Like, do you want some carbinara? Yeah, do you want
some spag bowl?
Speaker 1 (01:33):
I'd be like, no, I made the best freaking spag
bowl used today. I don't want to take my horn.
But it was amazing.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Anything special about it? Because spag bowl, I mean, I
love a good spag bowl. And I'm not saying it's
like no, hard to know what you mean? But was
there anything that made it particularly good? Because it's a
pretty basic meal, that's.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Pretty basic And I don't because I love spare bowl
and I actually chocolate full with VG's and stuff just
try and get extra goodness. And I might have put
a little bit of bone broth and what else did
I put in it?
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Now?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I always just have, you know, a bit of tomato,
peas and to and tomatoes, garlic, you stocks. I don't
know it just maybe it simmered longer. I had it
sort of brewing longer. Usually BJA doesn't really appreciate my
spare bowl, but last night I loved it. I'll give
you that. That is a good speak bowl.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
All right, now you've maybe wont spag bob.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
It was so good.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
So we went to the movies last night. Yeah, and
I told you it was like cheap Mondays at this particular. Yes,
so they do cheap tickets, but they also if you're
a member, they do free unlimited popcorn.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Oh so that was the thing because you mentioned that usterday.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I was they were still doing it. But they are
still doing it.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
How many if I would? I don't know. I can't
even too much popcorn because I start getting the corn
things stuck in my throat.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
So how many? How many buckets do you think is
too many? And I'm not talking about big big buckets.
That was like small.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Oh you'd be taking the person if you go for
three or more. I reckon four.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I did three?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I mean to be fair, was the smallest size, one large?
There could be one large year, but like is it
kind of shape more than.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Why can I have some more like free pop?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
It's like at the was it what establishments did it?
Where you could go up for refills and I'd always
because I'd never get raspberry and coke, But do you
remember the refell just have to get rasberry and co
because I'd never usually have it, but it was just
like part and past actually subway.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yeah you know the look. Oh I know.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
So yeah, we've both dumped you a couple of our
personal food stories. You had a bit of food theming
in the show today we asked the question are you
top or bottom when it comes to Heads out of
the Ghana, Although to be fair, we did do our
whole entries today on one of the post I do
(04:18):
if we're cann have a word about that. I want
the posside and be like, hey, like be a little
bit risky, bit not that risk.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
We've got a meeting tomorrow. Actually, let's see if he
brings it up. Is that hey, hey, I love the content.
Willonderfoe's deck was an interesting break.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
I just need to know them why.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I did wonder because we talked about top or bottom
in terms of like cheese sconce, you prefer the top
or the bottom half of it, but we did there
was some innuendo there, But I wondered, what percentage of
the audience do you think understood the top or bottom?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
What you're talking about? A lot over a lot of
people see majority, Yeah, maybe I'd say seventeen seventeen percent. Yeah,
seventy percent got it and I reckon the rest. So
what's that eighty three percent didn't? Yeah, it was very
(05:18):
no fear.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
So we talked about that. We talked about our group
therapy was interesting, a real juicy one today.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Yeah, it was. It was quite unique. But I think
it was important that we should light on it because
there's more and more stories like that's popping up. And
actually we've got some really good beneficial solutions for it
as well.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah, so some good stuff on the show today.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Enjoy it will waiting for me because you usually lived
and normally I come in, I'll wrap it up. Also,
we wanted to know how you welcomed the neighbors who
moved in next door.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Yeah. I think you've done it. I think you've done
too much.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Oh I think you went with talking.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Oh yeah yeah yeah, can you shut up?
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Sweet? Enjoy the podcast, everyone, the podcast that Are You
an Office Chameleon? Treading a rather interesting article just before
Matty about why are professional and private selves often differ?
(06:17):
So do you think you're a bit of an office chameleon?
Do you think that your persona changes quite drastically between
the household and at the workplace.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
No, but I have had numerous times where I've thought
to myself, I really should be a different person.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Like exude more professionals.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Absolutely, I am one hundred percent myself warts and all
the good and the bad, no matter where I am.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Will They talk about how a lot of people adopt
an altered persona changing vocabulary, clothes, I mean obviously clothes
like if you're in quite like a corporate corporate role
that makes sense opinions even, which is quite interesting. And
they talk about how it's, you know, wanting to succeed
(07:09):
at work. It's a need to belong where a species
and we want to be part of the tribe, which
I don't know, I was trying to think about myself.
I think I'm like a heightened version of myself at work,
like I'm certainly it's like I've had a few energy
energy drinks and I walk through the doer.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
But that is part of that, the fact that you know,
home life can be kind of chaotic and you've got
a toddler and all the rest of it, and there's
a lot going on on the farm and everything like that,
and you've got animals. So then getting into the workplace
you're you have the opportunity to be like a completely
different person.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah, and you kind of you Yeah, you sort of
just go into plays on. That's kind of what I
feel like when I come to work. But I'm thinking
about it, Like my husband definitely says a slightly nastier
vision for myself at home. Things that I'd say home,
I wouldn't even say at work.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
There were I've definitely caught myself on a fewer few
times at work though, where I've lost my call or
something and I've gone, this should just be at home behavior,
because my husband has to love me right like he
has to love me no matter.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
We don't. We have no othergations. We haven't signed any contracts.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
There was when I was working on breakfast at TV
and Z obviously very early mornings, so.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
You know, oh yeah, cranky could get very.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Cranky the printer. I had the biggest issues with our
printer at work. In every morning, like clockwork, I would
have some sort of meltdown around the printing machine.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
We're a media company, how can they not see us
simple technology in the year twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
And I would think to myself, this isn't like tone
down many like, this isn't behavior your work colleagues should
be seeing of you.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
This is really low little is this scheme of worldwide?
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Maddy and PJ. Meddy and PJ the podcast The Heads.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Got another knock on the door over the weekend, Meddie.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
It wasn't there. It wasn't the strangers that you caught
on security camera the other week was.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
It, Oh, the one that looked like Dumbledore.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
No, they've never returned and we've never worked out they wanted. No,
this was another group of guests. Take what for? Somewhere
where we are, which is incredibly remote, we do have
quite a few people knocking. So I was actually home
alone at the time with well I had my two
year old Charlie, and and I noticed a couple get
(09:42):
out the car. There's a man and a woman and
they sort of mosey on up to the front door.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Can I ask a question? Is that quite confronting when
you're in the middle of nowhere?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Yes? Absolutely so, you have a dog, it's great usually
BJ is always there. But no, look, they looked quite friendly,
and you know, I didn't actually feel scared looking at them.
They looked pretty sweet. So I go on open the
door and we start talking and they say, Hi, we
are your new neighbors to be and look, we don't
(10:18):
have many no, like literally, there's neighbors to our side,
some across the road, and then these are our new
neighbors to move in on the other side. And the
place has been not occupied for a very long time.
I was pretty excited to meet new people, as you
would be when there's not many people around, and so
(10:38):
I said, oh, my gosh, guys, it's going to be great.
And they're like, look, we're not fully moved in, but
we're going to be there over the next few weeks.
And I said, well, honestly, when you move in, hey,
don't be strangers. Come over for dinner or a cup
of tea or something. And the conversation in it. I
gave them my number and in my email, just so
we could contact each other moving forward. And then when
(11:00):
my husband got back later on that night, I sort
of ran them through the conversation. He said, youvited them
round for tea, like straight away, it's quite like full
on considering we don't know anything about these people. And
I thought, well, nobe, that's just what they do in
the country, don't you just say, hey, come on over
for tending. It's like, yeah, maybe like start a little
lower level like I don't know, I don't know, I
(11:23):
just you know, a shorter appointment where you can sort
of just get to know.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
You've been watching too much from McLeod's Daughters or something,
haven't you?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Because this is what they always do want to show.
So nah, because I didn't like a lock it in,
I haven't made an official emvice. How do you think
we sort of play the next step with our friendship
with the new neighbors?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I think I think the cup of tea would have
been the smarter way to go.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Do you think just a kappa.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
It's like when you're going on on a first day.
You never want to do a dinner date for your
first day. You want to do it drink or a
coffee or something like that, because imagine if you get
there and you don't like them, you want to have
an out, but.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Don't you want to do it in public like a
first date as well? Do you think we should go
to the park take a back.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
No, it's too romantic.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
That's way too romantic for the neighbors. Okay, this is
a silly Christian tone it down over him. Did I
come across so strong? I was just so excited, And
do you know what I felt like, I think I've
seen too many movies where people rock up to a
strange place in the country, so I wanted to like
really overcompensate that we weren't crazy. So I was like,
(12:36):
you should come over to you, like, we're pretty normal.
My husband's on the farm.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I was just trying to really yeah, and now they've
probably gone back and they're like, what was we girl
asking us around for dinner.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
The podcast.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I may or may not have watched one too many
mcclard's Daughters episodes really taken on that friendly farmer housewife approach.
Meet the new neighbors who are set to move in
over the next few weeks, and I may or may
not have seen you guys should come over for tea.
And my husband was like, you don't know anything about
these people. Maybe we'll just start like a little bit,
(13:13):
you know.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Lease intent this really does scream City slacker has moved
to the country truly is well.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I wanted to get the help of fellow kiwis because look,
we do neighbors well in New Zealand And I wanted
to know what you did to welcome and the new
neighbors next door. Nicolele is joining us, Nikola, Sorry, hello, Nikola, Hi, Hi?
What did you do?
Speaker 6 (13:40):
I took over a carton of freshly laid eggs to
our new neighbors.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Smart smart needs eggs, peach always.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
We just we did have a chicken, but they didn't
quite make it. We found our dog and made a
hole in the chicken. So I don't know if I'll
lead maybe that story for you then no, but maybe
I liked that, Nicola. We've got fruit trees. Maybe I
could take over some fruit. Yes, it sounds ja and milk.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
No milk. You only ask for milk, don't you don't. Yeah,
I'm not going to But I like the suggestion, Nicola.
I like the suggestion.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
All right, least go to Suki on eight hundred Hat Suki,
how did you welcome in the neighbors?
Speaker 7 (14:24):
Well, it's not so much I have welcomed your neighbors.
It's more advice for you, or an idea that you
could sort of backped a little bit on what you've
already done, which is okay.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Lovely, but maybe a little too much.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
Super Well, it's a perception thing. I'm quite an outgoing
friendly person, and I just think if you're trying to
be that way and welcome people.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
You know.
Speaker 7 (14:47):
But yeah, so I would also take a week guest,
and I was thinking some flowers or greeny greenery from
your garden and maybe some muffins that I'd go over
first so they don't come for dinner to quickly oh, hi,
you know it's me and nice to me. I just
(15:07):
brought these over and I just wanted to let you know.
I hope I wasn't too.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
For it's so wholesome and sweat So back pedal is
what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
You guys get settled.
Speaker 7 (15:21):
That gives some time to forget about it or not.
You guys get and maybe we'll catch up for a
drink or a cup of over summer when it gets
a goot warmer.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
It like that.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
The ace, Yes, a pot Okay, someone someone did, actually
someone did take some page and say the new neighbors
asked us for a drink at four pm and we
got home.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
At ten pm.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
It's a great night with the neighbors.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Sign of a great time.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
Many and the podcast The People's.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Poll, The People's Poll, Everybody comes together.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
It's the People's Poll.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
So every day on the show we ask you, the
people of New Zealand, a simple question. You weigh in
on the text machine four for eight seven. It is
that simple. Sometimes the topics, you know, things in the news,
sometimes they're pretty trivial things that go downe in our lives.
Now met e, something happened to you this morning?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I went and visited a friend and she's just had
recently had a baby, and so I said I'd call
around for a coffee. And we hadn't seen each other
in a long time, and I said, I'll pick up
I'll pick up some goodies from the cafe on the
way for us to have for a morning tea. And
I got an almond croissants.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Honestly, that is one of my weaknesses. Good You don't
want to dry and crusty one though, because they just
ruin it for everyone. But when you get that real beautiful,
moist almond, where's that stuff?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Can? I also go off on a little tangent here
and say cafes have really up to the game with
almond croissants. Remember back in the day they used to
be made with that really gross like fake tasting almond.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yep, yep. Now it's the real good.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Now it's the real deal.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
And that's so it's such a competitive mart You've got
to be good to survive. It's got to be good
to survive.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
So numba crossan. And then I got a cheese gone.
Now I'm very partial to a cheese gone. And when
I went round to my friend's house, she cut it
in half, and I thought, oh, we might have a
bit of a problem here, because I look, I love
a cheese s gone in general, but if i'm if
we're harving it, I have a very specific half that
(17:31):
I prefer.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I know what i'd go for. I know what i'd
go for.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I like the top.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I like the bottom. It's so much more cauchy. It's
way I feel like you get way more like you're
getting ripped off. If you get the top half. It's
definitely the less interesting part of the gone.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
I disagree because the bottom part, yes, it might be
bigger in sight and diameter, but the top half has
the has the more interesting part of the sky.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Like the cheese.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
He's got the cheese it's harder, and it's yeah, it's
more exciting.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Now I feel like you get more of the dough.
It's a bit more cushy, it's soft. The butter melts
better on the bottom. I'm definitely team bottom. Give me
a bottom, hands.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Down, give me a hard top any day.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Okay, all right, so's that question? Are you top or bottom?
When it comes to scan?
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Wow, that's the question we're asking. We ask the hardheading
questions on the show.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Peach texts are already coming through. Top half is far better.
It's crispy, yummy bits. Yes, we're not going to count that.
That's a warm up text geting text through now four
for eight seven, and we'll come back next to reveal
the results of the People's Poles.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
Mary and PJ, Mady and PJ.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
The podcasts, the People's Pole, the People's Pole, everybody comes together.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
It's the People's poll today. Oh, the People's Pole. We're
asking the question, are you bottom or top? When it
comes to a cheese scone?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Yes, I went into a friend's house bought a cheese
gone and I love the top half of a cheese gone,
and so we wanted to know which one. It reigns
supreme a lot.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
It reminds me. It reminds me of the crust in
a backbread.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
No, yes, it's crust, it's it's beautiful. And a lot
of people have said top half is far better. It
has all the crispy yummy bits. Someone said top half
all the way, definitely the chop top of the cheese gone.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
A lot of people have also said, I cut scones
vertically of sharing, not top and bottom. Itch freaks me out.
I don't like I don't like that way. I feel
like you have to do one or the other. You
to commit you and half of the bot.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
You and I are a match made in heaven. I
like the top, you like the bottom.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
So we really are all right. So what is the
official verdict on the people's pull today?
Speaker 2 (19:51):
The tops have it page eighty seven percent to thirteen percent.
It's read PJ the podcast.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
That's manimpjs group therapy.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Ah take a deep collective breath at his time some therapy. Okay.
So you can get in touch with us at the
HATTO and Ziz or hit us up on the hats,
drive with many and PJ on Instagram every week. We
just want to help tackle your dileminaus because the problem
shared is a problem halved.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
And do you know what we get such amazing advice
from people as well. A lot often people have had
firsthand experiences and so they can kind of weigh in
and go, you know, this is what I learned from
my experience doing this, and this is what you should
think about. So it's really good.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Okay, hear everyone coming through this week. Recently, my eighteen
year old little brother came out as gay, not in
as you at all, but he's had zero dating experience
and he's now told me, in our entire family that
he plans to go and meet his online boyfriend in
su at the end of the year. He's trying to
get a passport, been saving his money from his part
time job, and his adamant he's going. However, he's never
(21:08):
video chatted or even had a phone call with a
supposed boyfriend, and my brother doesn't speak a word of Serbian. Naturally,
our mum is freaking out and not supporting him in this.
I have tried to tell him how dangerous this is,
but he's determined to meet this guy. I don't know
how to support him or talk him out of this.
This is obviously just so many red flags. Can you
please help?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Wow? Wow? There is a heavy situation to be in.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Send him to Uncle Maddy.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
And he'll take you under your one from Uncle Maddie
will take him under his wing.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
This is I get it right. That is a scary
thing for a family, especially if you are very protective,
I'm assuming of your little brother, and you can see
the red flags and let's call a spada spade. This
sounds dodgy on the face of things. I'm not saying
that I know for certain that this is not right
(22:06):
or not real, or a scam in any way, but
it definitely has the markings of something like that. Right.
We had an issue earlier in the year with group
therapy where someone was talking about the fact that they
had never video chatted with a person that they were
speaking to, and we all came to the conclusion there's
no way in twenty twenty four that you cannot have
(22:29):
a FaceTime, a video call, a phone call at the
very least with someone that you're in a relationship with.
But I think you've got to approach this with calm
and care, because your first instinct, I think would be
to freak out and there, idiot, why are you doing
this and project that onto him, and that I think
(22:51):
would only potentially alienate him even more, make him feel
very defensive, especially as an eighteen year old. We all
remember being eighteen. Think you know the world right. So
I think you've just got to approach it with calm
and care and go. I get it. I get what
I get why you want to go. I understand that
you're excited and you feel this way, but you've just
(23:13):
got to hear it from my point of view and
talk to him about it respectfully and calmly to try
and maintain him on side.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
I've got an idea, why don't you go with him
and you take the flight with him so then you
can support him. Then you're like there from a distance,
just being like, look at any of the Gibbons. I'm
you know, I'm close by. I'm here. I support you
on this decision, but I want to come over just
if anything goes wrong, I'm here. Do you reckon? That's
good advice.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I think there's a I think there's great advice if
this person is able to obviously afford to be able
to head overseas. I mean, SUBI is a long way
to go.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
It is a long way.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
Maddy and PJ. Maddy and PJ The Podcast the head's
many mpj's group therapy.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Okay, this week's one is admittedly quite heavy, and it's
quite unique as well. But on eight hundred the hats,
if you've got any advice to help out a person
who's got in touch, this is what it said. Recently,
my eighteen year old little brother came out as gay.
That's not an shoe at all, but he's had zero
dating experience and has now told me, in our entire
family that he plans to go and meet his online
boyfriend in Serbia at the end of the year. He's
(24:25):
trying to get a passport, saving up money from his
part time job, and is adamant he's going to go. However,
he's never video chatted or even had a phone call
with the supposed boyfriend, and my brother does not even
speak a word of Serbian. Naturally, we're all freaking out
and my mum's not supporting him in this. I have
tried to tell him how dangerous it is, but he's
determined to go over and meet this guy. I don't
(24:47):
know how to support him or talk him out of this,
as is obviously so many red flags. Please help. She's
a heavy one this week, all right, LEAs go to Julie,
who has got in touch. Julie, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
Thanks, thanks, What do you think, Julie? It is a
very heavy subject, and as a parent the teenage boy,
it's one that I am very aware of the dangers,
especially since I've spend so much time online and I
as my way of trying to curb what's happening with
(25:21):
online presences, I follow net safe and net safe actually
has this year they've launched a program called Understanding Romance
Scams and you can find out and you can help
your family members and net safe can help provide information
and they can help work out what scams what's not
because it will literally it's a guide to what a
(25:44):
romance scam is, who uses them, what they use them for,
and how they use them. And it's a brilliant tool
that anyone can use. And it's not just for kids.
That's for all ages, stages of all the information they
need about it.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
It's brilliant, what a great resource. So that's just net Safe.
People can go check that out online.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
I love that, Julia on Facebook.
Speaker 6 (26:05):
They can follow it on all social media's and it's
all funded, so it's available for everyone. They do learning
simposing through schools, they do online learning. Really contact them
and you can send through information about scans and report scans.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Amazing.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Oh, that's very good resource. If anyone else who's listening
is in a similar situation and net safe me again. Hello,
what do you think?
Speaker 8 (26:29):
H Yeah, no, I've got armboos. I've been talking to
someone overstairs actually for about the last ten years. Today
they were in the middle of a tornado warning and
they still managed a video call. Yeah right, wow, there
is no way you cannot video call.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
So the hard thing is though the sister doesn't really
know how to approach it with the brother. That's the
tough thing, right.
Speaker 8 (26:56):
I like the idea maybe often to go to, but
unfortunately the brother as the one is to realize it.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Yeah, his family, So just be there, support him and
hopefully work work through it with him in a really calm,
clear way.
Speaker 9 (27:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (27:14):
And as it comes to the crunch of it, then yeah,
definally someone go because.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
You've got to look after him at the end of
the day.
Speaker 9 (27:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (27:21):
Yeah, more importantly as her safety. That's the most important
thing now, is everything.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
Maddy and PJ.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Maddy and PJ the podcast on the show yesterday evening,
Matty was talking us through a moment he had on Sunday.
He was feeling quite sorry for himself with his husband Ryan.
You're a little bit hung dog, a little bit. We
had a big night on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
And when we when we're feeling a little bit vulnerable
after a night out, the snacks come out, and for us,
the snacks involved potato chips. So we went to the dairy,
brought our sell some potato chips and I got salt
and vinegar. And I love salt and vinegar chips with
a bit of Kiwi onion depth.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
It just balances everything, the salt and the neutral taste.
I love the reduced cream.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I love it. But the issue is when you buy
the reduced cream, it's straight off the shelf, and as
we all know, when you're making Kewy onion dip, it
needs to be chilled, needs to go on the fridge
when you want chips. Can you be bothered waiting? No?
Speaker 3 (28:26):
No, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
You did not have the patience on Sunday, So you
came up with the genius concept of actually refrigerating the
reduced cream.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Why not, because as you and I spoke about PJ,
what else do we really use reduce cream for anyway?
Speaker 1 (28:41):
It's the sole purpose of reduced cream. I don't think
it actually has any other benefits.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
So because we all love our key onion dip to
be chilled, it just makes sense to pull it straight
from the fridge so that you can just make the
dip immediately.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
We thought, look, we don't have the answers we have
in fact, track down someone from the Nesle Food marketing team.
Robin joins us this afternoon. Hi Robin, Hi guys, thanks
for having me on, Madam Peter.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Thank you so much for helping us out of a
little bit of a bind here, because yes, we we're
desperate to know whether this silly little idea we've had
is even plausible, feasible, something you've considered in the past,
because we all love Kiwi onion dip.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
Robin, I'm so glad to hear you love original Kiwi dip, Maddie,
and you're not alone.
Speaker 9 (29:27):
We've talked to Kiwi's about this.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
They actually enjoy the ritual of mixed chill dip, so
original Kiwi dip. It's often enjoyed with friends and family.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Right, Yes, yes, preparation is a little bit.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Effort to show that you go the extra mile for
those you care about. We love to say here acquaintances
serve chips, that mates serve chip and dip.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Oh, well, she's got us with the company line, She's
got us.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
I love the tagline.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
But what about those hungover sundays where you can't where
you don't have the patience to wait, Robin.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
I know, and I've thought about this for you, Maddie.
I think what you could do is you could preempt
your Sunday cram.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
No, you could put a.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Can in the night before. So in that case, you
would simply switch the preparation around so you would chill first,
mixed second, and then dip.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Okay, I've got one more scenario for you. Could you
not have and have it? So have the reduced cream
on the shelf for those that love to make it
for friends and family, but then just have some in
the fridge section. And it could even be like it
could be hidden somewhere, Robin, so that those of us
that just need to quickly run in and make it
(30:47):
make a dip at last minute could just sneakily grab
one out of the chiller.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
It's not a bad idea. Maddie. Now in the soupermarket, right,
we're in the soup aire with our Madgie soup mate.
Speaker 9 (30:58):
Yes, we're around the baking with our sorry.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
With our nest they reduced cream, and then most recently
we've kind of made it into the cheap art with
both of them together. So you're proposing a fourth aisle
in the soupermn It's.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
A lot, I hear you, Robin.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
We can try, can you?
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Can you at least at least for my sake? Just
tell me sure, Maddy, I'll go and talk to some
people and we'll see what we can do.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Famous last words.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
The podcast.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Now, earlier in the show, we were talking about a
moment yesterday. We're Meddi was fit up, to say the
least over the weekend after he wanted as schnacks and
he wanted them now and he wanted your classic Kiwi
onion depth. But obviously you have to refrigerate the reduced cream. Well,
you have to refrigerate at first, And you said, well,
(31:54):
why can't you just buy the reduced cream refrigerated already
from the soupermnte exact.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Wouldn't there be so smart? You just go into the
chilled section you get, you pick it out and it's
ready to go. You can make the dip immediately.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Or you could be like a lot of people that
have texted out siven and it's just I don't know,
being organized and prepared for when this moment might strike.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Well, well done to all of you. You're absolute heroes,
and I'm the slacker who's never organized.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
In some of the texts, I thought everyone refrigerated their
tens of reduced cream. Someone said, I always till the
reduced cream first, so we don't have to wait. So
I think your problem has been solved by the people
of New Zealand's just be more organized, just be better
a lot.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
Madi and PJ the podcast that's.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
My husband, Ryan is concerned page He's he's worried that
I'm making something my entire personality.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Okay, it's got to be one of the TV shows
you're watching.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
No, no, no no, And actually you're like, you're partially
responsible for that.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Don't do that. No, you're a grown man and you're
responsible for your own actions. Don't you dare heap me
into your own problem.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
It's running. Oh okay, because you and I started training
for this half marathon that we did in May, and
I have really taken to running. And now I'm kind
of this person that runs a lot and posts about running,
and I've joined a run club and I'm talking about
how I've got to I've gotta I've gotta hit the pavement,
(33:29):
you know, I've gotta get me run it.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
I haven't run since the.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Not part of your personality.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Please do not blame me.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
I have nothing to do with this, but I am
really enjoying getting into running. And so now my entire
like feed on Instagram or on TikTok or whatever, it's
just like running content, running content, running content, and most
of it is just like videos of people doing workouts,
(33:59):
or tips and tricks on how to get your splits
faster and all sorts.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Of reb if I'm wrong, but running is back in vogue,
isn't it.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
I saw it.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
I saw a lot of people talking about it. Now
it's it's definitely becoming trendy again.
Speaker 8 (34:13):
I know.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
But I hear myself talking about it and I kind
of hate myself for it. But this video came up
online today which was very different from the running content
I'm used to being fed, and it was an Irish
influencer who had posted a video on TikTok talking about
another influencer that she met at an event and Influences
(34:36):
in the Wild Influences in the Wild. The two of
them were talking and the influencer who made this video
said that she was talking about how she was running,
and the other influencer said, oh, that's so funny. I
never see you posting about running or anything. And this
woman said, no, well I wouldn't I look terrible when
(34:58):
I run. I'm so blotchy, I'm drenched and sweat. It's
not how I want to like portray myself on social media,
so you won't see me posting about running. And this
other influencer said, wait, but you don't actually post your
runs online and this woman said, what do you mean?
And this influencer said, well, what I do is I
(35:21):
just get my phone out and I'll say I'll record
myself saying one k in, and then I'll get in
my car and I'll drive to another spot and then
get out in my running gear and post another video
saying two k's it. And then I'll get in my
car and I'll drive again, and I'll get out and
(35:41):
I'll say three k's in. This influencer isn't even running
and she's posting videos as if she's going on these
massive runs every day.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
How is she recreating the sweat and the hot red
face that looks like tomatoes.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
She's not peage and people are buying it thinking that
this one and there's some absolute like glamouris on who
doesn't sweat and doesn't blatch like the rest of us
when they run.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Let's be a lissen that not everything you said online
is real.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
It's a lie. It's an absolute lie. And she's been
caught out and now the influencer world and especially in Ireland,
is going absolutely crazy.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
It's got a niche little world with the running like.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Growth I would have said so, and the not just
the running world, but like the Irish running. Shall we
run with this asavo?
Speaker 1 (36:34):
When did you because obviously someone has been caught out
because she's fabricating these amazing runs. When did you catch
someone out?
Speaker 2 (36:43):
And the lie?
Speaker 1 (36:44):
I love this And maybe they knew about you catching
them out, or maybe you found out and you didn't
even you didn't say word, you kept it to yourself.
What was the lie that you caught out? Things could
get juicy here. Oh wait, one hundred the hits so
you can text us four four eight.
Speaker 5 (36:59):
Sevenj the podcast.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
Asking the saucy question, what lie did you catch uart?
On eight hundred hits so you can text four four
eight seven.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
Yeah, this influencer in Ireland was caught out for getting
in a car and then driving to different spots and
then getting out and pretending like she was running.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Are we really surprised?
Speaker 4 (37:23):
Though?
Speaker 1 (37:23):
Like this shouldn't shock us twenty four that all things
that we witnessed Advance is doing online is not one
hundred percentro absolutely not absolutely Ah, let's God of Shares
joining us one hundred the hats What lie did you
catch out?
Speaker 3 (37:37):

in life really really young. I was in high school
and I met this guy who was older than me,
so got married, had beautiful cares. And then my uncles

same as mine, my youngest.

And how did you find this out?
Speaker 9 (39:10):
Well overseas trip and I saw all the receipts that
you know, dining on the boat and stuff like that,
and I thought, what the hell we went to something
else and I see something else online on my banking
online banking, and yeah, that's how I slowly, slowly found out.
But I lived your life. I was young. Yeah, I
started my family life really young. But yeah, I got
up and I left. I just left. I left everything.
(39:31):
I felt that I ain't going to be a second
to nobody, to be honest, and many women for wrong reason,
but for me, I'm like, no, what the hell, I
ain't going to be second to nobody.
Speaker 1 (39:44):

We're going to hold him up with the Chemistry House price,
which you know, I mean, after you're telling so much
of your life to us. I know that doesn't seem much,
but we're going to send that out to you.
Speaker 5 (40:11):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
That's just a quick little question, Mattie hit hypothetical. If
you were in my situation this morning and you're standing
in the kitchen and all of a sudden, my ear
just started on one side reverberating. It was almost like
I was like, oh, is here an earthquake? And it
was like this massive vibration and my right ear and
(40:36):
I was like, hang on, what's going on? I was like,
is there a vehicle? Is there an earthquake? And then
at dawn on me, I think it's an insect. Oh yeah,
And it was like, like so loud, what.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
I don't even know what you're doing that situation.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
Well, I got my husband to look and he couldn't
see anything, and I was like, you know how, sometimes
like a tiny, tiny creature, if it's in you in
your ear, it could sound really really large. So I'm
thinking maybe it was just like a tiny little was do.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
You and blow? Would like?
Speaker 1 (41:11):
Would that try and pop it out the other side?
Speaker 9 (41:13):
Maybe?
Speaker 1 (41:14):
Well, I actually I'll tell you what I did. Not
doctor's advice, by the way, but I had some ear
drops that I give my toddler, and I thought I
could lubricate the drum by pouring them in, and I
thought if I tipped my ear it might fall out
with it. But nothing's come out, and I've sort of
just been tapping all afternoon, and now I'm like, was
(41:37):
it a bug or was something more?
Speaker 5 (41:39):
Sinister?
Speaker 1 (41:40):
Ringg no, no, no, no, vibrated for like a solid minute,
and my husband thought I was absolutely nuts. I was like,
can you hear that? And then I was like, oh no,
I think there's actually insick. It's me. I'm not going
to ask for doctor's advice because it's probably not a
good idea on the radio. But if you've been in
a similar boat to Rich.
Speaker 5 (42:00):
Medi and PJ the podcast The Heads
Speaker 3 (42:09):
MHM
The Hits Drive with Media and Paja thanks to Chimis
were House the Real House of Fragrances and on that
Hello everyone and welcome to the podcast. Hello, right, meeting adjourned.
What is on the agenda this evening?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I stole a protein bar from the kiss warehouse shelf.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Now that's a free for all. Yeah, I think so.
But you just feel a little bit more naughty.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
I felt.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Usually you'll just take like hand sanitizer or shaving crease.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Well I did feel a little bit naughty. But then
I realized I have become such an office scrounge.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Because I did and this job, because we're in here
at the time of day when you get the cravies.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yes, so I went. I often will go out into
the into the into the office and walk around going,
this is one.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Any snacks that guy?
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Any snacks?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Do you get?
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Any?
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Thanks? What do you what? What would you tune your
nose up at?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Like?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
When do you think you have kind of crossed the
lines of hygiene?
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Oh that's a good question. M Do you mean, like,
what would I say? Not? What would I say? What
would you?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
What would you? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yeah, yeah, I mean if someone was offering me like
part of the actual meal, like I feel like helping
yourself to someone's chips or like helping yourself to someone's
snaky food is.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
But if someone was.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Like, do you want some carbinara? Yeah, do you want
some spag bowl?
Speaker 1 (01:33):
I'd be like, no, I made the best freaking spag
bowl used today. I don't want to take my horn.
But it was amazing.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Anything special about it? Because spag bowl, I mean, I
love a good spag bowl. And I'm not saying it's
like no, hard to know what you mean? But was
there anything that made it particularly good? Because it's a
pretty basic meal, that's.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Pretty basic And I don't because I love spare bowl
and I actually chocolate full with VG's and stuff just
try and get extra goodness. And I might have put
a little bit of bone broth and what else did
I put in it?
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Now?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
I always just have, you know, a bit of tomato,
peas and to and tomatoes, garlic, you stocks. I don't
know it just maybe it simmered longer. I had it
sort of brewing longer. Usually BJA doesn't really appreciate my
spare bowl, but last night I loved it. I'll give
you that. That is a good speak bowl.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
All right, now you've maybe wont spag bob.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
It was so good.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
So we went to the movies last night. Yeah, and
I told you it was like cheap Mondays at this particular. Yes,
so they do cheap tickets, but they also if you're
a member, they do free unlimited popcorn.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Oh so that was the thing because you mentioned that usterday.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
I was they were still doing it. But they are
still doing it.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
How many if I would? I don't know. I can't
even too much popcorn because I start getting the corn
things stuck in my throat.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
So how many? How many buckets do you think is
too many? And I'm not talking about big big buckets.
That was like small.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Oh you'd be taking the person if you go for
three or more. I reckon four.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
I did three?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
I mean to be fair, was the smallest size, one large?
There could be one large year, but like is it
kind of shape more than.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
Why can I have some more like free pop?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
It's like at the was it what establishments did it?
Where you could go up for refills and I'd always
because I'd never get raspberry and coke, But do you
remember the refell just have to get rasberry and co
because I'd never usually have it, but it was just
like part and past actually subway.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yeah you know the look. Oh I know.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
So yeah, we've both dumped you a couple of our
personal food stories. You had a bit of food theming
in the show today we asked the question are you
top or bottom when it comes to Heads out of
the Ghana, Although to be fair, we did do our
whole entries today on one of the post I do
(04:18):
if we're cann have a word about that. I want
the posside and be like, hey, like be a little
bit risky, bit not that risk.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
We've got a meeting tomorrow. Actually, let's see if he
brings it up. Is that hey, hey, I love the content.
Willonderfoe's deck was an interesting break.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
I just need to know them why.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
I did wonder because we talked about top or bottom
in terms of like cheese sconce, you prefer the top
or the bottom half of it, but we did there
was some innuendo there, But I wondered, what percentage of
the audience do you think understood the top or bottom?
Speaker 1 (04:58):
What you're talking about? A lot over a lot of
people see majority, Yeah, maybe I'd say seventeen seventeen percent. Yeah,
seventy percent got it and I reckon the rest. So
what's that eighty three percent didn't? Yeah, it was very
(05:18):
no fear.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
So we talked about that. We talked about our group
therapy was interesting, a real juicy one today.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Yeah, it was. It was quite unique. But I think
it was important that we should light on it because
there's more and more stories like that's popping up. And
actually we've got some really good beneficial solutions for it
as well.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah, so some good stuff on the show today.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Enjoy it will waiting for me because you usually lived
and normally I come in, I'll wrap it up. Also,
we wanted to know how you welcomed the neighbors who
moved in next door.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Yeah. I think you've done it. I think you've done
too much.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Oh I think you went with talking.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Oh yeah yeah yeah, can you shut up?
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Sweet? Enjoy the podcast, everyone, the podcast that Are You
an Office Chameleon? Treading a rather interesting article just before
Matty about why are professional and private selves often differ?
(06:17):
So do you think you're a bit of an office chameleon?
Do you think that your persona changes quite drastically between
the household and at the workplace.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
No, but I have had numerous times where I've thought
to myself, I really should be a different person.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
Like exude more professionals.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Absolutely, I am one hundred percent myself warts and all
the good and the bad, no matter where I am.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Will They talk about how a lot of people adopt
an altered persona changing vocabulary, clothes, I mean obviously clothes
like if you're in quite like a corporate corporate role
that makes sense opinions even, which is quite interesting. And
they talk about how it's, you know, wanting to succeed
(07:09):
at work. It's a need to belong where a species
and we want to be part of the tribe, which
I don't know, I was trying to think about myself.
I think I'm like a heightened version of myself at work,
like I'm certainly it's like I've had a few energy
energy drinks and I walk through the doer.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
But that is part of that, the fact that you know,
home life can be kind of chaotic and you've got
a toddler and all the rest of it, and there's
a lot going on on the farm and everything like that,
and you've got animals. So then getting into the workplace
you're you have the opportunity to be like a completely
different person.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Yeah, and you kind of you Yeah, you sort of
just go into plays on. That's kind of what I
feel like when I come to work. But I'm thinking
about it, Like my husband definitely says a slightly nastier
vision for myself at home. Things that I'd say home,
I wouldn't even say at work.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
There were I've definitely caught myself on a fewer few
times at work though, where I've lost my call or
something and I've gone, this should just be at home behavior,
because my husband has to love me right like he
has to love me no matter.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
We don't. We have no othergations. We haven't signed any contracts.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
There was when I was working on breakfast at TV
and Z obviously very early mornings, so.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
You know, oh yeah, cranky could get very.
Speaker 2 (08:30):
Cranky the printer. I had the biggest issues with our
printer at work. In every morning, like clockwork, I would
have some sort of meltdown around the printing machine.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
We're a media company, how can they not see us
simple technology in the year twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
And I would think to myself, this isn't like tone
down many like, this isn't behavior your work colleagues should
be seeing of you.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
This is really low little is this scheme of worldwide?
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (09:03):
Maddy and PJ. Meddy and PJ the podcast The Heads.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Got another knock on the door over the weekend, Meddie.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
It wasn't there. It wasn't the strangers that you caught
on security camera the other week was.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
It, Oh, the one that looked like Dumbledore.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
No, they've never returned and we've never worked out they wanted. No,
this was another group of guests. Take what for? Somewhere
where we are, which is incredibly remote, we do have
quite a few people knocking. So I was actually home
alone at the time with well I had my two
year old Charlie, and and I noticed a couple get
(09:42):
out the car. There's a man and a woman and
they sort of mosey on up to the front door.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Can I ask a question? Is that quite confronting when
you're in the middle of nowhere?
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Yes? Absolutely so, you have a dog, it's great usually
BJ is always there. But no, look, they looked quite friendly,
and you know, I didn't actually feel scared looking at them.
They looked pretty sweet. So I go on open the
door and we start talking and they say, Hi, we
are your new neighbors to be and look, we don't
(10:18):
have many no, like literally, there's neighbors to our side,
some across the road, and then these are our new
neighbors to move in on the other side. And the
place has been not occupied for a very long time.
I was pretty excited to meet new people, as you
would be when there's not many people around, and so
(10:38):
I said, oh, my gosh, guys, it's going to be great.
And they're like, look, we're not fully moved in, but
we're going to be there over the next few weeks.
And I said, well, honestly, when you move in, hey,
don't be strangers. Come over for dinner or a cup
of tea or something. And the conversation in it. I
gave them my number and in my email, just so
we could contact each other moving forward. And then when
(11:00):
my husband got back later on that night, I sort
of ran them through the conversation. He said, youvited them
round for tea, like straight away, it's quite like full
on considering we don't know anything about these people. And
I thought, well, nobe, that's just what they do in
the country, don't you just say, hey, come on over
for tending. It's like, yeah, maybe like start a little
lower level like I don't know, I don't know, I
(11:23):
just you know, a shorter appointment where you can sort
of just get to know.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
You've been watching too much from McLeod's Daughters or something,
haven't you?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
Because this is what they always do want to show.
So nah, because I didn't like a lock it in,
I haven't made an official emvice. How do you think
we sort of play the next step with our friendship
with the new neighbors?
Speaker 2 (11:47):
I think I think the cup of tea would have
been the smarter way to go.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Do you think just a kappa.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
It's like when you're going on on a first day.
You never want to do a dinner date for your
first day. You want to do it drink or a
coffee or something like that, because imagine if you get
there and you don't like them, you want to have
an out, but.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Don't you want to do it in public like a
first date as well? Do you think we should go
to the park take a back.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
No, it's too romantic.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
That's way too romantic for the neighbors. Okay, this is
a silly Christian tone it down over him. Did I
come across so strong? I was just so excited, And
do you know what I felt like, I think I've
seen too many movies where people rock up to a
strange place in the country, so I wanted to like
really overcompensate that we weren't crazy. So I was like,
(12:36):
you should come over to you, like, we're pretty normal.
My husband's on the farm.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
I was just trying to really yeah, and now they've
probably gone back and they're like, what was we girl
asking us around for dinner.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
The podcast.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
I may or may not have watched one too many
mcclard's Daughters episodes really taken on that friendly farmer housewife approach.
Meet the new neighbors who are set to move in
over the next few weeks, and I may or may
not have seen you guys should come over for tea.
And my husband was like, you don't know anything about
these people. Maybe we'll just start like a little bit,
(13:13):
you know.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Lease intent this really does scream City slacker has moved
to the country truly is well.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I wanted to get the help of fellow kiwis because look,
we do neighbors well in New Zealand And I wanted
to know what you did to welcome and the new
neighbors next door. Nicolele is joining us, Nikola, Sorry, hello, Nikola, Hi, Hi?
What did you do?
Speaker 6 (13:40):
I took over a carton of freshly laid eggs to
our new neighbors.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Smart smart needs eggs, peach always.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
We just we did have a chicken, but they didn't
quite make it. We found our dog and made a
hole in the chicken. So I don't know if I'll
lead maybe that story for you then no, but maybe
I liked that, Nicola. We've got fruit trees. Maybe I
could take over some fruit. Yes, it sounds ja and milk.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
No milk. You only ask for milk, don't you don't. Yeah,
I'm not going to But I like the suggestion, Nicola.
I like the suggestion.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
All right, least go to Suki on eight hundred Hat Suki,
how did you welcome in the neighbors?
Speaker 7 (14:24):
Well, it's not so much I have welcomed your neighbors.
It's more advice for you, or an idea that you
could sort of backped a little bit on what you've
already done, which is okay.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Lovely, but maybe a little too much.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
Super Well, it's a perception thing. I'm quite an outgoing
friendly person, and I just think if you're trying to
be that way and welcome people.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
You know.
Speaker 7 (14:47):
But yeah, so I would also take a week guest,
and I was thinking some flowers or greeny greenery from
your garden and maybe some muffins that I'd go over
first so they don't come for dinner to quickly oh, hi,
you know it's me and nice to me. I just
(15:07):
brought these over and I just wanted to let you know.
I hope I wasn't too.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
For it's so wholesome and sweat So back pedal is
what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
You guys get settled.
Speaker 7 (15:21):
That gives some time to forget about it or not.
You guys get and maybe we'll catch up for a
drink or a cup of over summer when it gets
a goot warmer.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
It like that.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
The ace, Yes, a pot Okay, someone someone did, actually
someone did take some page and say the new neighbors
asked us for a drink at four pm and we
got home.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
At ten pm.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
It's a great night with the neighbors.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Sign of a great time.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
Many and the podcast The People's.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Poll, The People's Poll, Everybody comes together.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
It's the People's Poll.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
So every day on the show we ask you, the
people of New Zealand, a simple question. You weigh in
on the text machine four for eight seven. It is
that simple. Sometimes the topics, you know, things in the news,
sometimes they're pretty trivial things that go downe in our lives.
Now met e, something happened to you this morning?
Speaker 2 (16:16):
I went and visited a friend and she's just had
recently had a baby, and so I said I'd call
around for a coffee. And we hadn't seen each other
in a long time, and I said, I'll pick up
I'll pick up some goodies from the cafe on the
way for us to have for a morning tea. And
I got an almond croissants.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Honestly, that is one of my weaknesses. Good You don't
want to dry and crusty one though, because they just
ruin it for everyone. But when you get that real beautiful,
moist almond, where's that stuff?
Speaker 2 (16:49):
Can? I also go off on a little tangent here
and say cafes have really up to the game with
almond croissants. Remember back in the day they used to
be made with that really gross like fake tasting almond.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Yep, yep. Now it's the real good.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Now it's the real deal.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
And that's so it's such a competitive mart You've got
to be good to survive. It's got to be good
to survive.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
So numba crossan. And then I got a cheese gone.
Now I'm very partial to a cheese gone. And when
I went round to my friend's house, she cut it
in half, and I thought, oh, we might have a
bit of a problem here, because I look, I love
a cheese s gone in general, but if i'm if
we're harving it, I have a very specific half that
(17:31):
I prefer.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I know what i'd go for. I know what i'd
go for.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
I like the top.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
I like the bottom. It's so much more cauchy. It's
way I feel like you get way more like you're
getting ripped off. If you get the top half. It's
definitely the less interesting part of the gone.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
I disagree because the bottom part, yes, it might be
bigger in sight and diameter, but the top half has
the has the more interesting part of the sky.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Like the cheese.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
He's got the cheese it's harder, and it's yeah, it's
more exciting.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Now I feel like you get more of the dough.
It's a bit more cushy, it's soft. The butter melts
better on the bottom. I'm definitely team bottom. Give me
a bottom, hands.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Down, give me a hard top any day.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Okay, all right, so's that question? Are you top or bottom?
When it comes to scan?
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Wow, that's the question we're asking. We ask the hardheading
questions on the show.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Peach texts are already coming through. Top half is far better.
It's crispy, yummy bits. Yes, we're not going to count that.
That's a warm up text geting text through now four
for eight seven, and we'll come back next to reveal
the results of the People's Poles.
Speaker 5 (18:41):
Mary and PJ, Mady and PJ.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
The podcasts, the People's Pole, the People's Pole, everybody comes together.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
It's the People's poll today. Oh, the People's Pole. We're
asking the question, are you bottom or top? When it
comes to a cheese scone?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Yes, I went into a friend's house bought a cheese
gone and I love the top half of a cheese gone,
and so we wanted to know which one. It reigns
supreme a lot.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
It reminds me. It reminds me of the crust in
a backbread.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
No, yes, it's crust, it's it's beautiful. And a lot
of people have said top half is far better. It
has all the crispy yummy bits. Someone said top half
all the way, definitely the chop top of the cheese gone.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
A lot of people have also said, I cut scones
vertically of sharing, not top and bottom. Itch freaks me out.
I don't like I don't like that way. I feel
like you have to do one or the other. You
to commit you and half of the bot.
Speaker 2 (19:42):
You and I are a match made in heaven. I
like the top, you like the bottom.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
So we really are all right. So what is the
official verdict on the people's pull today?
Speaker 2 (19:51):
The tops have it page eighty seven percent to thirteen percent.
It's read PJ the podcast.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
That's manimpjs group therapy.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Ah take a deep collective breath at his time some therapy. Okay.
So you can get in touch with us at the
HATTO and Ziz or hit us up on the hats,
drive with many and PJ on Instagram every week. We
just want to help tackle your dileminaus because the problem
shared is a problem halved.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
And do you know what we get such amazing advice
from people as well. A lot often people have had
firsthand experiences and so they can kind of weigh in
and go, you know, this is what I learned from
my experience doing this, and this is what you should
think about. So it's really good.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Okay, hear everyone coming through this week. Recently, my eighteen
year old little brother came out as gay, not in
as you at all, but he's had zero dating experience
and he's now told me, in our entire family that
he plans to go and meet his online boyfriend in
su at the end of the year. He's trying to
get a passport, been saving his money from his part
time job, and his adamant he's going. However, he's never
(21:08):
video chatted or even had a phone call with a
supposed boyfriend, and my brother doesn't speak a word of Serbian. Naturally,
our mum is freaking out and not supporting him in this.
I have tried to tell him how dangerous this is,
but he's determined to meet this guy. I don't know
how to support him or talk him out of this.
This is obviously just so many red flags. Can you
please help?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
Wow?
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Wow? Wow? There is a heavy situation to be in.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
Send him to Uncle Maddy.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
And he'll take you under your one from Uncle Maddie
will take him under his wing.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
This is I get it right. That is a scary
thing for a family, especially if you are very protective,
I'm assuming of your little brother, and you can see
the red flags and let's call a spada spade. This
sounds dodgy on the face of things. I'm not saying
that I know for certain that this is not right
(22:06):
or not real, or a scam in any way, but
it definitely has the markings of something like that. Right.
We had an issue earlier in the year with group
therapy where someone was talking about the fact that they
had never video chatted with a person that they were
speaking to, and we all came to the conclusion there's
no way in twenty twenty four that you cannot have
(22:29):
a FaceTime, a video call, a phone call at the
very least with someone that you're in a relationship with.
But I think you've got to approach this with calm
and care, because your first instinct, I think would be
to freak out and there, idiot, why are you doing
this and project that onto him, and that I think
(22:51):
would only potentially alienate him even more, make him feel
very defensive, especially as an eighteen year old. We all
remember being eighteen. Think you know the world right. So
I think you've just got to approach it with calm
and care and go. I get it. I get what
I get why you want to go. I understand that
you're excited and you feel this way, but you've just
(23:13):
got to hear it from my point of view and
talk to him about it respectfully and calmly to try
and maintain him on side.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
I've got an idea, why don't you go with him
and you take the flight with him so then you
can support him. Then you're like there from a distance,
just being like, look at any of the Gibbons. I'm
you know, I'm close by. I'm here. I support you
on this decision, but I want to come over just
if anything goes wrong, I'm here. Do you reckon? That's
good advice.
Speaker 2 (23:41):
I think there's a I think there's great advice if
this person is able to obviously afford to be able
to head overseas. I mean, SUBI is a long way
to go.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
It is a long way.
Speaker 5 (23:55):
Maddy and PJ. Maddy and PJ The Podcast the head's
many mpj's group therapy.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Okay, this week's one is admittedly quite heavy, and it's
quite unique as well. But on eight hundred the hats,
if you've got any advice to help out a person
who's got in touch, this is what it said. Recently,
my eighteen year old little brother came out as gay.
That's not an shoe at all, but he's had zero
dating experience and has now told me, in our entire
family that he plans to go and meet his online
boyfriend in Serbia at the end of the year. He's
(24:25):
trying to get a passport, saving up money from his
part time job, and is adamant he's going to go. However,
he's never video chatted or even had a phone call
with the supposed boyfriend, and my brother does not even
speak a word of Serbian. Naturally, we're all freaking out
and my mum's not supporting him in this. I have
tried to tell him how dangerous it is, but he's
determined to go over and meet this guy. I don't
(24:47):
know how to support him or talk him out of this,
as is obviously so many red flags. Please help. She's
a heavy one this week, all right, LEAs go to Julie,
who has got in touch. Julie, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
Thanks, thanks, What do you think, Julie? It is a
very heavy subject, and as a parent the teenage boy,
it's one that I am very aware of the dangers,
especially since I've spend so much time online and I
as my way of trying to curb what's happening with
(25:21):
online presences, I follow net safe and net safe actually
has this year they've launched a program called Understanding Romance
Scams and you can find out and you can help
your family members and net safe can help provide information
and they can help work out what scams what's not
because it will literally it's a guide to what a
(25:44):
romance scam is, who uses them, what they use them for,
and how they use them. And it's a brilliant tool
that anyone can use. And it's not just for kids.
That's for all ages, stages of all the information they
need about it.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
It's brilliant, what a great resource. So that's just net Safe.
People can go check that out online.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
I love that, Julia on Facebook.
Speaker 6 (26:05):
They can follow it on all social media's and it's
all funded, so it's available for everyone. They do learning
simposing through schools, they do online learning. Really contact them
and you can send through information about scans and report scans.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Amazing.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Oh, that's very good resource. If anyone else who's listening
is in a similar situation and net safe me again. Hello,
what do you think?
Speaker 8 (26:29):
H Yeah, no, I've got armboos. I've been talking to
someone overstairs actually for about the last ten years. Today
they were in the middle of a tornado warning and
they still managed a video call. Yeah right, wow, there
is no way you cannot video call.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
So the hard thing is though the sister doesn't really
know how to approach it with the brother. That's the
tough thing, right.
Speaker 8 (26:56):
I like the idea maybe often to go to, but
unfortunately the brother as the one is to realize it.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Yeah, his family, So just be there, support him and
hopefully work work through it with him in a really calm,
clear way.
Speaker 9 (27:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (27:14):
And as it comes to the crunch of it, then yeah,
definally someone go because.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
You've got to look after him at the end of
the day.
Speaker 9 (27:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (27:21):
Yeah, more importantly as her safety. That's the most important
thing now, is everything.
Speaker 5 (27:28):
Maddy and PJ.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Maddy and PJ the podcast on the show yesterday evening,
Matty was talking us through a moment he had on Sunday.
He was feeling quite sorry for himself with his husband Ryan.
You're a little bit hung dog, a little bit. We
had a big night on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
And when we when we're feeling a little bit vulnerable
after a night out, the snacks come out, and for us,
the snacks involved potato chips. So we went to the dairy,
brought our sell some potato chips and I got salt
and vinegar. And I love salt and vinegar chips with
a bit of Kiwi onion depth.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
It just balances everything, the salt and the neutral taste.
I love the reduced cream.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I love it. But the issue is when you buy
the reduced cream, it's straight off the shelf, and as
we all know, when you're making Kewy onion dip, it
needs to be chilled, needs to go on the fridge
when you want chips. Can you be bothered waiting? No?
Speaker 3 (28:26):
No, no, no no.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
You did not have the patience on Sunday, So you
came up with the genius concept of actually refrigerating the
reduced cream.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Why not, because as you and I spoke about PJ,
what else do we really use reduce cream for anyway?
Speaker 1 (28:41):
It's the sole purpose of reduced cream. I don't think
it actually has any other benefits.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
So because we all love our key onion dip to
be chilled, it just makes sense to pull it straight
from the fridge so that you can just make the
dip immediately.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
We thought, look, we don't have the answers we have
in fact, track down someone from the Nesle Food marketing team.
Robin joins us this afternoon. Hi Robin, Hi guys, thanks
for having me on, Madam Peter.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Thank you so much for helping us out of a
little bit of a bind here, because yes, we we're
desperate to know whether this silly little idea we've had
is even plausible, feasible, something you've considered in the past,
because we all love Kiwi onion dip.
Speaker 4 (29:22):
Robin, I'm so glad to hear you love original Kiwi dip, Maddie,
and you're not alone.
Speaker 9 (29:27):
We've talked to Kiwi's about this.
Speaker 4 (29:29):
They actually enjoy the ritual of mixed chill dip, so
original Kiwi dip. It's often enjoyed with friends and family.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Right, Yes, yes, preparation is a little bit.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Effort to show that you go the extra mile for
those you care about. We love to say here acquaintances
serve chips, that mates serve chip and dip.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Oh, well, she's got us with the company line, She's
got us.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
I love the tagline.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
But what about those hungover sundays where you can't where
you don't have the patience to wait, Robin.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
I know, and I've thought about this for you, Maddie.
I think what you could do is you could preempt
your Sunday cram.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
No, you could put a.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
Can in the night before. So in that case, you
would simply switch the preparation around so you would chill first,
mixed second, and then dip.
Speaker 2 (30:25):
Okay, I've got one more scenario for you. Could you
not have and have it? So have the reduced cream
on the shelf for those that love to make it
for friends and family, but then just have some in
the fridge section. And it could even be like it
could be hidden somewhere, Robin, so that those of us
that just need to quickly run in and make it
(30:47):
make a dip at last minute could just sneakily grab
one out of the chiller.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
It's not a bad idea. Maddie. Now in the soupermarket, right,
we're in the soup aire with our Madgie soup mate.
Speaker 9 (30:58):
Yes, we're around the baking with our sorry.
Speaker 4 (31:01):
With our nest they reduced cream, and then most recently
we've kind of made it into the cheap art with
both of them together. So you're proposing a fourth aisle
in the soupermn It's.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
A lot, I hear you, Robin.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
We can try, can you?
Speaker 2 (31:15):
Can you at least at least for my sake? Just
tell me sure, Maddy, I'll go and talk to some
people and we'll see what we can do.
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Famous last words.
Speaker 5 (31:30):
The podcast.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Now, earlier in the show, we were talking about a
moment yesterday. We're Meddi was fit up, to say the
least over the weekend after he wanted as schnacks and
he wanted them now and he wanted your classic Kiwi
onion depth. But obviously you have to refrigerate the reduced cream. Well,
you have to refrigerate at first, And you said, well,
(31:54):
why can't you just buy the reduced cream refrigerated already
from the soupermnte exact.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Wouldn't there be so smart? You just go into the
chilled section you get, you pick it out and it's
ready to go. You can make the dip immediately.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Or you could be like a lot of people that
have texted out siven and it's just I don't know,
being organized and prepared for when this moment might strike.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Well, well done to all of you. You're absolute heroes,
and I'm the slacker who's never organized.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
In some of the texts, I thought everyone refrigerated their
tens of reduced cream. Someone said, I always till the
reduced cream first, so we don't have to wait. So
I think your problem has been solved by the people
of New Zealand's just be more organized, just be better
a lot.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
Madi and PJ the podcast that's.
Speaker 2 (32:42):
My husband, Ryan is concerned page He's he's worried that
I'm making something my entire personality.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Okay, it's got to be one of the TV shows
you're watching.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
No, no, no no, And actually you're like, you're partially
responsible for that.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
Don't do that. No, you're a grown man and you're
responsible for your own actions. Don't you dare heap me
into your own problem.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
It's running. Oh okay, because you and I started training
for this half marathon that we did in May, and
I have really taken to running. And now I'm kind
of this person that runs a lot and posts about running,
and I've joined a run club and I'm talking about
how I've got to I've gotta I've gotta hit the pavement,
(33:29):
you know, I've gotta get me run it.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
I haven't run since the.
Speaker 2 (33:35):
Not part of your personality.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
Please do not blame me.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
I have nothing to do with this, but I am
really enjoying getting into running. And so now my entire
like feed on Instagram or on TikTok or whatever, it's
just like running content, running content, running content, and most
of it is just like videos of people doing workouts,
(33:59):
or tips and tricks on how to get your splits
faster and all sorts.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Of reb if I'm wrong, but running is back in vogue,
isn't it.
Speaker 2 (34:08):
I saw it.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
I saw a lot of people talking about it. Now
it's it's definitely becoming trendy again.
Speaker 8 (34:13):
I know.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
But I hear myself talking about it and I kind
of hate myself for it. But this video came up
online today which was very different from the running content
I'm used to being fed, and it was an Irish
influencer who had posted a video on TikTok talking about
another influencer that she met at an event and Influences
(34:36):
in the Wild Influences in the Wild. The two of
them were talking and the influencer who made this video
said that she was talking about how she was running,
and the other influencer said, oh, that's so funny. I
never see you posting about running or anything. And this
woman said, no, well I wouldn't I look terrible when
(34:58):
I run. I'm so blotchy, I'm drenched and sweat. It's
not how I want to like portray myself on social media,
so you won't see me posting about running. And this
other influencer said, wait, but you don't actually post your
runs online and this woman said, what do you mean?
And this influencer said, well, what I do is I
(35:21):
just get my phone out and I'll say I'll record
myself saying one k in, and then I'll get in
my car and I'll drive to another spot and then
get out in my running gear and post another video
saying two k's it. And then I'll get in my
car and I'll drive again, and I'll get out and
(35:41):
I'll say three k's in. This influencer isn't even running
and she's posting videos as if she's going on these
massive runs every day.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
How is she recreating the sweat and the hot red
face that looks like tomatoes.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
She's not peage and people are buying it thinking that
this one and there's some absolute like glamouris on who
doesn't sweat and doesn't blatch like the rest of us
when they run.
Speaker 1 (36:07):
Let's be a lissen that not everything you said online
is real.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
It's a lie. It's an absolute lie. And she's been
caught out and now the influencer world and especially in Ireland,
is going absolutely crazy.
Speaker 1 (36:22):
It's got a niche little world with the running like.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Growth I would have said so, and the not just
the running world, but like the Irish running. Shall we
run with this asavo?
Speaker 1 (36:34):
When did you because obviously someone has been caught out
because she's fabricating these amazing runs. When did you catch
someone out?
Speaker 2 (36:43):
And the lie?
Speaker 1 (36:44):
I love this And maybe they knew about you catching
them out, or maybe you found out and you didn't
even you didn't say word, you kept it to yourself.
What was the lie that you caught out? Things could
get juicy here. Oh wait, one hundred the hits so
you can text us four four eight.
Speaker 5 (36:59):
Sevenj the podcast.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
Asking the saucy question, what lie did you catch uart?
On eight hundred hits so you can text four four
eight seven.
Speaker 2 (37:11):
Yeah, this influencer in Ireland was caught out for getting
in a car and then driving to different spots and
then getting out and pretending like she was running.
Speaker 1 (37:22):
Are we really surprised?
Speaker 4 (37:23):
Though?
Speaker 1 (37:23):
Like this shouldn't shock us twenty four that all things
that we witnessed Advance is doing online is not one
hundred percentro absolutely not absolutely Ah, let's God of Shares

Speaker 9 (39:10):
Well overseas trip and I saw all the receipts that
you know, dining on the boat and stuff like that,
and I thought, what the hell we went to something
else and I see something else online on my banking
online banking, and yeah, that's how I slowly, slowly found out.
But I lived your life. I was young. Yeah, I
started my family life really young. But yeah, I got
up and I left. I just left. I left everything.
(39:31):
I felt that I ain't going to be a second
to nobody, to be honest, and many women for wrong reason,
but for me, I'm like, no, what the hell, I
ain't going to be second to nobody.
Speaker 1 (39:44):

of your life to us. I know that doesn't seem much,
but we're going to send that out to you.
Speaker 5 (40:11):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
That's just a quick little question, Mattie hit hypothetical. If
you were in my situation this morning and you're standing
in the kitchen and all of a sudden, my ear
just started on one side reverberating. It was almost like
I was like, oh, is here an earthquake? And it
was like this massive vibration and my right ear and
(40:36):
I was like, hang on, what's going on? I was like,
is there a vehicle? Is there an earthquake? And then
at dawn on me, I think it's an insect. Oh yeah,
And it was like, like so loud, what.
Speaker 2 (40:50):
I don't even know what you're doing that situation.
Speaker 1 (40:52):
Well, I got my husband to look and he couldn't
see anything, and I was like, you know how, sometimes
like a tiny, tiny creature, if it's in you in
your ear, it could sound really really large. So I'm
thinking maybe it was just like a tiny little was do.
Speaker 2 (41:07):
You and blow? Would like?
Speaker 1 (41:11):
Would that try and pop it out the other side?
Speaker 9 (41:13):
Maybe?
Speaker 1 (41:14):
Well, I actually I'll tell you what I did. Not
doctor's advice, by the way, but I had some ear
drops that I give my toddler, and I thought I
could lubricate the drum by pouring them in, and I
thought if I tipped my ear it might fall out
with it. But nothing's come out, and I've sort of
just been tapping all afternoon, and now I'm like, was
(41:37):
it a bug or was something more?
Speaker 5 (41:39):
Sinister?
Speaker 1 (41:40):
Ringg no, no, no, no, vibrated for like a solid minute,
and my husband thought I was absolutely nuts. I was like,
can you hear that? And then I was like, oh no,
I think there's actually insick. It's me. I'm not going
to ask for doctor's advice because it's probably not a
good idea on the radio. But if you've been in
a similar boat to Rich.
