which was fantastic that went off little.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
Yeah, there were a little sentimental chat something drawn on
me today and I had to have a little pep talk.
So all of that and more coming up in the podcast.
Enjoy Happy Birthday, Thank you, love.

Speaker 6 (07:58):
You, Meddi and Peach the podcast.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
So I say before that, before the show today, I
decided to scrat up for a nice little lunch with
my two year old nearly two year old son and
we went to the most delicious bakery in the world.
I'm going to give it a shout out, a Cleveld Bakery.
You can't go there and not get a cronut.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
I was going to say, what do you get what's
good there?

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Well, the crona's, the sandwiches, the everything is just like
off the rector. It's just you know, when you want
to go have a trait, you go there. So Charlie
and I went in there and I don't know what
it is about this magical phases, and but I can
actually just take him out with me, whereas it was
an absolute nightmare doing that with him previously and he
would just tear out the place and run around. He

(08:47):
sat with me for a good maybe twenty thirty minutes,
and we were eating our snacks and we just had
a nice little lunch, and then he remembered that there's
like a little corner of toys in this cafe whached
behind the corner'reat. It's a great little space for kids,
and there's like a little you know how, like they
have the children's sized kitchens with like with the little

(09:10):
appliances and stuff, and there were blocks. And as soon
as Charlie saw that, he was like a moth to
the light, and so he sprinted off. And I was like, okay,
all right, we'll go and just chill in the toys area,
because does.

Speaker 3 (09:22):
He drag you along to play or is he quite
happy just playing?

Speaker 7 (09:26):
No?

Speaker 1 (09:26):
No, no, he got mama, Mama, sit down, shit down, mama.
He's quite smarting at the moment. And so he started
and I was like, oh, this is quite nice. But
the problem is the toys are like right next to
a table, right next to and there was this sort
of elderly couple just sitting there and they looked like

(09:46):
they were just trying to have a nice pace for lunch.
And I thought, oh, my god, like, do people who
aren't parents just hate parents in this situation, because Charlie
is not quiet at the best of time, and he
was thrashing, tapping, yelling, throwing, just making all of the

(10:07):
noise possible. And I was like, well, this is great,
Like I feel like I'm utilizing this area, but I
also feel like I'm destroying the people surrounding his lunch.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
This couple would come out for a nice, peaceful little lunch,
just the two of them, and they were like, Oh,
this is so lovely. We can really catch up on
what's been going on in our lives. No, No, Charlie's like.

Speaker 1 (10:32):
To me via they chose these seats, and they probably
could have gone to another space that was further away
from the toy.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
That was going to be my points as a non
parent if I was ever going to a cafe like there,
I would stay well clear of the children's play well.

Speaker 6 (10:53):
Maddy, J, Madi and PJ the podcast.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
I was just talking about how the show. This afternoon,
my near two year old son and I went out
for lunch at this very nice bakery that has like
a little toy area that you can play in, which
is a bit of a godsend for parents, to be honest,
because it's hard the best of times when taking out
little ones.

Speaker 5 (11:16):
I know.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
But then for the rest of us who have just
gone to enjoy a peaceful little flat light by ourselves.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
There was this elderly couple. You can tell they were
just like really wanting to sit down and save with
the meal, and then Charlie out the baggers of Mama,
like thrashing everything. So I just wanted to know, is
it a punish for non parents who are in the establishment.
Julie is called through. Gooday, Julie, how are you? What

(11:48):
are your thoughts? Well, I'm an older parent, much much older,
so I didn't ye, but yeah, they.

Speaker 8 (11:57):
Should suck it up or don't sit next to the
toy area. Yeah, everybody with a child at one point
in their lives. Hmm, they don't want kids here, then
go to a seventy cafe.

Speaker 1 (12:11):
Okay, this is true, Julie. You've got got options. You
can choose to dine.

Speaker 9 (12:18):
There or not.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
It's true, all right, Oh yeah, someone sticks in the
four four seven is appearing of a three year old
and twenty months old. Those cafe toys are fear game
and give parents two minutes to chill and drink a
hot coffee for once. Don't sit next to the toys
if you don't want to be disturbed with noise.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
Here here all right. Lea's going to Nickie on eight
hundred the hats Nickie, you want to weigh in? What
are your thoughts?

Speaker 6 (12:39):
A couple of.

Speaker 8 (12:40):
People's children are develop point has been raised by the toys. Yeah,
and then I've got growing children and growing children, and
when it goes for coffee with my girlfriend, I don't
want babies. So you're boy, it's a different energy too.

(13:05):
I might go through a little quiet things. But yes,
so sorry for.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
Me, horrendous, spoken hondous. Thank you very much forgetting.

Speaker 6 (13:22):
The podcast.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
That the People's Poll, the People's Poll.

Speaker 6 (13:28):
Everybody comes together.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
It's the People's Poll, all right. In the meantime, it
is time for our people's poll. We have been a
fun with us every day and by all means text
and to four four eight seven to help weigh in
on today's question.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
I was reading an article about a bunch of Hamilton
residents that are so sick of seeing shopping trolleys scattered
around the city from the supermarkets that they're calling on
the council to organize some sort of daily collection service.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
Right, how bad?

Speaker 6 (14:01):
Why pep?

Speaker 1 (14:02):
We're just lazy to return them.

Speaker 3 (14:04):
I reckon it's laziness. I reckon it's young people, possibly
the youth of today.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
They have no discipline, meting, no discipline, to tell you what.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
But I see them all the time. Whenever I go
for a walk without with my dog, I see shopping
trolleys all over the place, sometimes that and the rivers,
and I think, how.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
Do they get there? Yeah, that's really bad when it
ends up in the river. There is a new sense.
But obviously, if you see them, you'd go and return
them right right, right right, the good citizen that you are.

Speaker 3 (14:38):
I will admit I have never I've never taken a
shopping trolley away from a supermarket.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Okay, I will confess, But this wasn't me. This was
a Yuni days we're broadcasting school, and it was a
fiery flooding, and I do remember somehow I don't know how,
but there was a trolley in our lounge and I
don't know how long it was there for what I
we did have a lift to get up and it
was a real old recordy lift. It must have gone

(15:07):
in the RECORTY left and it was there for a while.
So look, that's when you're young and you do stupid things.
But I would love to know on the text pole today,
have you ever taken the shopping trolley away from the supermarket?
F so, how far did you take it? Maybe you
actually had a really good reason behind it. Maybe there
was an emergency and you had to take the trolley

(15:27):
to save someone.

Speaker 3 (15:29):
You know, Look, we're not no judgment, no judgment, no judgment.
Someone has already text into four four eight seven and said,
our mate took a trolley home after a night with
the boys and thought it was hilarious.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
We told him that they had a location chip.

Speaker 3 (15:43):
Of course, you didn't believe us until I put on
my professional voice and rang him as a prank call.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
He dropped tools immediately and returned.

Speaker 6 (15:55):
The podcast.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
Time for this.

Speaker 6 (16:01):
Pole's pole, the Big Pol's Pole.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
Everybody comes together produce a Sarah on the Duels Little snowy, like,
go on, how you got there? We got there?

Speaker 5 (16:16):
All right?

Speaker 1 (16:17):
It is time for the people's poll, and today we're
asking the question have you ever taken the shopping trolley
away from the supermarket? F so, how far did you
take it? It was inspired by a story coming out
of Hamilton today.

Speaker 3 (16:26):
Yeah, there's a Hamilton City councilor is saying that the
council should look into a new by law to help
collection collection of the trolleys that are apparently scattered all
over the city.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
Do we actually know what the fine is if you
take a shop? Yeah, fine for shopping trolley theft indied.
Hang on, I'll do some gurgling. You talk in the
main time, Okay.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
In the meantime, we've had a lot of people who
and bless you have been very honest and said, look,
this is something that has happened in the past. Someone said, yes,
we talked one when my friend was so drunk one
night to get him home, we put him in it
and walked him about seven ks.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
To his house. We left him and the trolley outside
his house. I feel like a lot of these stories
do involve large nights when people were in their youthful days.
This has to be one of my favorites. My son
and his mates borrowed a trolley so they could go
to the late Nightmacer's drive through because the policy is
to only serve customers on the wheels and they had

(17:26):
to soon them. Brilliant.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
Someone else said fifteen years ago, when we were in London,
we used a trolley from Asda, that's one of the
supermarkets over there, with our groceries, and then we used
it to move house as we didn't have a vehicle.
We did return it a week later when we went
to get more groceries.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
Quite smart, really, Okay, I think this is the official
word stolen trolley's take save markets three to four hundred
dollars to replace. I'm assuming it's kind of around there.
If you've got an official word, please do text in
four for eight seven. But what is the official pole
saying on it?

Speaker 3 (18:00):
Despite the Despite the fair few stories that people were texting,
the majority of people say no, I've never taken a
trolley away from the supermarket. Eighteen nine percent of people
said nap, never done it. Eleven percent of said yep,
to own it. I have done it before.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
Someone just text and saying my sister and I took
a shopping basket and used it as her laundry basket
at home. Oh my god, guys, we're not endorsing, so
we're not.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
But can I also read another one of someone else
that took it and turned it into someone else? Someone
said I stole a shopping trolley, cut the wheels off,
and turned it into a crayfish pot.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
Oh my god, that is so.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
It drove it to Castle Points, threw it into the
ocean and baited it up for crates.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Again, we do not endure people, aren't They.

Speaker 9 (18:47):
Are Many and PJ the podcast Many and PJS Group Therapy.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
All right.

Speaker 1 (18:56):
Every week on the show we take a collective sigh
of relief as we put our feet up and share
our problems. Because a problem she is is a problem halved?
Are you?

Speaker 10 (19:09):
Are you?

Speaker 1 (19:10):
Every week?

Speaker 3 (19:11):
Every week you have you have to stop and think
about which way it goes.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
I always watcher it so you can get in touch
with us my texting four four eight seven anything going
on in your life. We can get in touch on
our Instagram page as well. The Hats Drive with Medi
and PJ. Now very exciting this week because we have
got someone actually joining us on the year to tell
their problem live.

Speaker 3 (19:33):
Yeah, usually we just read out the email. We thought,
let's actually go to the source this week to find
out what the issue is.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
All right, So Tanya joins us, Hi, Tanya, Hi, how's
it going? Gave very well, very well, all right, what
what's going on in your life? How can we help
to go.

Speaker 11 (19:50):
Out the culma. I lived pretty much by like two
schools and some two pm. For a three pm pick up,
there's like a whole crapload of cars part all up
and down the streets and front of the house and
blah blah blah, and there's always a different car in
front of the house. I'm always hommedd in that time,
but for some reason, and I don't know who it

(20:10):
is and I could never catch it. There's always a
freshly laid bit of dog poop on the front of
the lawn and I can't catch who it is. And
I've actually gone out and asked some you know the people.
There's aunties and grandparents and you know parents sitting out
there and everybody's like, don't know, don't know, you know me?
So like what I'm just trying to think, like how

(20:33):
can I sort this out? Like, should I, I don't know,
put this big neon cardboard sign with a steak you know,
on a steak rail on the front a lawn and
chain a bag of you know, dog pooper.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Pick her up?

Speaker 12 (20:43):
And and what what would I write on the board?

Speaker 11 (20:47):
Like you know, and it's like, oh, I I was thinking, Ah,
I just make some nice homemade chocolate chip cookies and
bringing out some nice cups of coffee and tea and
see if someone will give it.

Speaker 5 (20:58):
Up, you know.

Speaker 3 (20:58):
Okay, I have some fun questions for you, Tanya.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
So this happened. How many days a week are used?
Do you think this happens?

Speaker 11 (21:05):
This is five days a week by every.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Day and a lot of day and we're thinking same dog.

Speaker 11 (21:12):
I don't know, Well, the sizes are different every time.

Speaker 1 (21:15):
Okay, all right, I have a question, Tanya. What is
stopping you from just doing a steakout and setting out, sigh,
just to actually catch them in the moment.

Speaker 11 (21:26):
I have tried to, but you know, sometimes there's things
that pop up now will run away, like you know,
from the window for a moment. But and like I said,
I've even actually gone out to the cars and asked
people and they're all like I don't know. They must
have a packed or something. But you're saying maybe I could,
I can maybe bribe them.

Speaker 3 (21:41):
But you're saying someone someone knows something because those cars
are the every day around the right time.

Speaker 11 (21:47):
Exactly and they school.

Speaker 1 (21:50):
I love this peusy neighborhood drama and it's so good.

Speaker 11 (21:54):
Oh my god, it's like so I'm like, I will
catch them, But I just thought, I don't know. Do
I put the big sign and chin some dog poop bags,
or you know, do I bribe people with nice coffee
and cookies and pe if someone gives it up. I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (22:08):
Yeah, Okay, so this is our question for today. Then, Tanya,
we want to know, does anyone have any idea of
a how you can catch them in the act, or
b how you can stop it from happening.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Or maybe someone's been in this situation and they can
tell us firsthand what Tanya should do to catch the
anonymous dog.

Speaker 6 (22:27):
Posper Maddy and PJ.

Speaker 9 (22:31):
Maddy and PJ the podcast The Heads, Beddy and Pj's
Group Therapy.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
All right, we just had Tanya on before, Maddie, do
you want to quickly recap Tanya's little problem. She's got
going on right now?

Speaker 3 (22:46):
Yeah, Tania says she lives right by two schools and
always around two o'clock three o'clock when school pack up happens,
she notices that afterwards a dog has left its business
on her Lawn's even been able to figure out who
is doing it. She has asked the people that the
parents that park there if they've seen anything. No one

(23:07):
ever owns up to having spotted anything. And now she's wondering,
what do I do in this situation? How do I
find out? And what what can I do to kind
of deter it from happening?

Speaker 1 (23:19):
That's happening every weekday, every now and then. All right,
so we wanted to get your advice. Maybe you've been
in a similar situation. Give us a call. Eight hundred
hats Margo from Wellington's ruining us. Good day, Margot, what
do you reckon?

Speaker 11 (23:34):
Hi? I thought that she's outside or near to at schools.
Then maybe she could contact the schools and they could
put something in the news.

Speaker 10 (23:40):
I don't know if there's go anywhere.

Speaker 4 (23:42):
But.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
Smart people people.

Speaker 11 (23:48):
Yes, it might help. She must love school holidays, be.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
Less bliss. All right, he's got to rob you want
to weigh what do you think Tanya should do.

Speaker 6 (24:05):
I just thought you can get some pretty cheap security
cameras and stuff.

Speaker 13 (24:10):
On you know, on the market now, which a wireless
and you can just put them out there and at
least you find out who's doing it, and then she's
got some evidence to confront them.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
Yeah, that's a good point, although someone did miss the
gin and say, look, a stakeout would catch a person,
but it could be confrontational, and not all of us
love confrontation, Rob, No.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
But I mean, if you want to get to the
road of the problem, what is the legality run CC
to like having security cameras If it's out on the pavement,
that's public, so they should be fine. You're fine, Yeah, Okay.

Speaker 3 (24:43):
You're saying, film the caption, catch them in the action
and then and then confront and Rob, well, yeah, then.

Speaker 14 (24:49):
You've got some evidence. Yeah, they're not a very good
dog owner anyway.

Speaker 9 (24:53):
If they're doing that and there there's a good chance
they're probably doing it for we'll wind up.

Speaker 13 (24:57):
If they're doing it every day, Yeah, they can get
it a and tipping it on me.

Speaker 5 (25:01):
I know.

Speaker 1 (25:02):
All right, Well, Rob, thank you so much for calling
in today. We really appreciate your feedback.

Speaker 3 (25:07):
A couple of texts that have come in said you
don't actually necessarily need cameras just to get a sign
that said these cameras, and that someone else said I
had the same issue with dogs. Are simple fixes to
sprinkle fine pepper on the grass, because they'll put them
off because the dogs just smeller the dogs and then
want to market, which is why they might be continuous

(25:27):
poop there.

Speaker 1 (25:29):
All right, well, let's just revisit with Tanya. Tanya, did
you hear any of their advice and did any of
it set with you? What do you reckon you're going
to do?

Speaker 11 (25:37):
Yeah? No, no, I was hearing it pretty good. Asked
for a stake it. I was actually just quite thinking.
My neighbor has some pretty good bushes hide behind.

Speaker 1 (25:47):
Oh my god, Tanya, where do you Where do you live?

Speaker 11 (25:53):
I'm in New Plymouth?

Speaker 6 (25:54):
And should we do a trick to.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
New Plymouth and get the Camo gear out page and
we're going.

Speaker 11 (26:01):
Dog steak out all of them afterwards I could jump
out and maybe scoop the poop And.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
Okay, guys, look we're going to need to we're gonna
need to brainstorm this off the year. Let's not get
carried away and get taken away by emotion. But you
say then and maybe we'll say we could do something,
whereas that's not a good idea. I kind of love it.
I don't know. We're trouble.

Speaker 6 (26:28):
Mady ANDJ Mady and PJ. The podcast that's.

Speaker 1 (26:33):
Happy birth we did at the beginning of the show.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
If you missed it, It is Pj's birthday today, Happy Birthday.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
I thank you, You're welcome. Thought this was a chat
about the supermarket.

Speaker 3 (26:50):
It's not a chat about the supermarket at all.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
Nothing, So I was actually really excited to know what happened.
Don I'll see it.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
No, nothing happened at the supermarket at all.

Speaker 12 (27:01):
Done.

Speaker 1 (27:01):
So it's your birthday. Feeling awkward about making my birthday?
I don't know. I don't know. It's like me.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
You love an opportunity to make any occasion all about you.

Speaker 1 (27:11):
So what I do? But I'm just I don't know
what it is. I don't know what it is. It
just feels like a low key birthday this year.

Speaker 3 (27:16):
You know, no, no, no, no, no, no, let's make
it high key.

Speaker 6 (27:19):
No do you thought?

Speaker 3 (27:21):
What can we do to celebrate Pj's birthday, and I thought,
so many people have so many different ideas of who
you are and what you mean to them. So what
I've done is I've gone around and I've done a
collection of little snippets of audio from people that are
in your life and ask them to describe you.

Speaker 4 (27:43):
No.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
Now, what Sirah produces, Siah and I have done this
afternoon is we've taken those audio clips and we'll put
a little voice to coder over them, so you won't
be able to know who said who said.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
So people could say, you know, some pretty nasty things anything.

Speaker 3 (27:57):
So you're going to listen to these audio snippets and
one by one you're gonna have guesses to it. Who
in your life has said this about you. Let's go
with my little number one.

Speaker 5 (28:06):
Polly is just that person that you always want to
be around. Well, actually none of all the time because
she can be like quite sometimes you need a little
bit of space. But it is an honor to have
Polly in your life because she will always make you
feel like you can be exactly who you are, your
authentic self, because she's always been met to herself and

(28:30):
it's just I'm just so lucky to have a Polly
in my life and I love you so much for
your bedday, my Dully.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
I can't take it seriously because the voice. Okay, first
of all, I thought that was like my ultimate BEV
of Dawson. But I think the way that that was making,
it's got to be Caitlin. It's Caitlyn. Correct.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
Let's move on to mystery person number two.

Speaker 14 (28:54):
Happy birthday page. You're an absolute joy to be around.
I'm guaranteed a good giggle anytime you're telling you story
or just being you in general. You're kind, funny and
all over the show. Never change please.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
Okay, by the way that this was speaking, despite the
weird like low time, I'm gonna say, is it our
boss Harriet is? Oh your name is?

Speaker 5 (29:18):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (29:19):
Okay, let's move on. Do you think I wasn't gonna
go this well, yeah, I didn't think you were going
to get that one. Let's on to mystery person number three.

Speaker 13 (29:26):
I would describe PJ as really black, quitted, in pictious laughter,
really fun to listen to. Also, I was described it
as really authentic and relatable. Yeah, she just is a
really really cool check and I really enjoy just getting

(29:47):
to know you.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
Any idea I'm stumping on that one. I feel like
there could be a guy like, is it Liam the Teker?

Speaker 3 (29:56):
It's not Liam the Tecker. No, that is one of
our BEAUTI for listeners, Georgina, who wanted.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
To say that about you. I'm sorry I said that
you were laying all right, Least move on to mystery
person number four. Well, well, I.

Speaker 7 (30:11):
Begin she she's driving there, she drive him in the
best of times.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
But and on other hand, she's fantastic.

Speaker 7 (30:20):
You know, she's she's always been there for me, and
she's always putting herself before others. So yeah, perhaps for
the poll she's she's bloody.

Speaker 3 (30:36):
Stop you're always putting yourself before, which I mean if
the shoe faced right, he's not really quickly because we're
running out of time, I want to do this one
last one.

Speaker 1 (30:51):
All right, Okay, Peggy's.

Speaker 7 (30:52):
Real name is Polly, so I've done an acrostic poem
for the name Polly. P is for pity, it's for
over sharing, Our is for lovable, Our is Philippi, and
why is for yuk.

Speaker 1 (31:09):
A p No, it wasn't Ali.

Speaker 3 (31:12):
That was your former producer alex Oh. Alex, Yes, well
I have some words for you. He had some words
for you to explain why he thinks you're so yuck.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Wait, he hasn't shared that story on the air.

Speaker 3 (31:26):
No, he hasn't shared that story, but he shared it
with me, and it's.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
Just okay, No, we do not have time for that
story this afternoon. It's my birthday. I'm going to control
the narrative here. Coming up next, you're storing a thousand dollars.
It was really sweet. Heavy birthdays you so much. I
love you.

Speaker 6 (31:45):
Maddy and PJ.

Speaker 3 (31:47):
Maddy and PJ the podcast. Catch up with one of
my besties, Chloe today. She lives overseas, so we don't
we're not in each other's lives a lot at the moment,
but we obviously try and catch up as much as
we can on the phone. Yeah, And we were chatting
and she goes, hey, I've noticed something about you. Are
you like a runner now?

Speaker 1 (32:09):
And I was like, I know.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
But all of a sudden I had this realization. I
was like, oh, no, I've turned into this one of
these people that just constantly posts about their running.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
And I never wanted to be that person. I think
it's just part and parcel of the running bug. Like
you run, you want to share the endorphins that you experience.
I think that's it.

Speaker 6 (32:29):
Yeah, it is.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
I think you're trying to You're not actually trying to
look like a ankor do you know what I mean.
She's just trying to share the joy because you feel
so good that you're like maybe other people I know
feel their second hand.

Speaker 3 (32:39):
I felt there's a need to like apologize to Chloe,
and I'm so sorry that I've turned into this person.
But I am enjoy really enjoying my running at the moment.
I've been getting out and about a lot and fun.

Speaker 1 (32:51):
Thank you. It could be far worse things that you're
addicted to.

Speaker 3 (32:54):
Totally, totally, but I had an experience and it was
really awkward because usually what I will do is I
will go for a run and then I'll make myself
this smoothie afterwards. It's like my post run little treat,
a little smooth But I'm.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
The one with the Silliam skin bananas.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
But I was hungry before the run, and so I thought,
I'm actually going to do the smoothie beforehand. So I
made made me smoothie and then I put my shoes
on and I took off and I'll tell you what,
I'm running at a bloody fast pace these days.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
Well you just at four thirty, didn't you. Oh I'm
fastening that mate?

Speaker 5 (33:34):
What? Oh?

Speaker 1 (33:35):
Really? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (33:36):
But I was running along and I got two k's
in and all of a sudden, the smoothie just like
ran right.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
It's the sillium husk. We've spoken about this before. I
keeps everything going downstairs. Well did it?

Speaker 5 (33:51):
What?

Speaker 1 (33:52):
Did it?

Speaker 13 (33:53):
What?

Speaker 3 (33:54):
And so my I had this moment where I was
running along and I was going, I'm actually gonna ship myself.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
This is gonna happen, so lease tell me you did.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
So I had three things went through my head. I thought,
either I stop and I walk, and I hope that
the walking like abates it. You know, like maybe the
running is putting pressure on the bowel system and so
maybe if I walk that'll do it, that'll stop it.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
But then I thought no.

Speaker 3 (34:25):
But then I'm I'm walking at a much slower pace
and I'm still far away from home, and you.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
Need to get a toilet. I need to get to
the toilet quickly.

Speaker 3 (34:33):
So do I keep running and hope that I can
get there fast enough? Or am I going to have
to be one of these people that goes into the
bushes on the side of the road.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
Because you've seen it. I've seen it on so many headlines,
particularly when I lived in Australia there with the phantom
runners that did a number toe in the park, that
was spotted on streets and public spaces, and you're like,
what kind of creature would do that? But the actually when.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
Winch, when you get despread and the Silliam Huskers run
right through you, Page, you gotta go, you got it.
When you gotta go, you gotta go. I I took
the leadder and I stopped and I started walking. But
I have never clinched as hard of my entire life.

Speaker 1 (35:18):
Did you make it? I made it home, just just
but it was weird. We wand LinkedIn that real oh
ye war Yeah, what do they call it? Prairie Dog?

Speaker 6 (35:28):
In Maddy and PJ Mady and Pj the podcast.

Speaker 1 (35:38):
When did You Not Quite Make It to the Bathroom?
Medi had a pretty close incident out running. He decided
to have a smoothie pre run. Not a good decision,
was not a terrible decision.

Speaker 3 (35:48):
But God reading the text machine, I'm one of the
lucky ones.

Speaker 1 (35:52):
Page. There are some amazing texts coming through. After Taco
Bowl breakfast, La walked fifty meters to a Walmart nick
minute playing fresh Undy's and Hallmark, swapping out the old
ones straight to the that's an imagine, It's terrible. Let's
go to Aaron and Todong get a Aaron, Welcome to
the show.

Speaker 10 (36:15):
Well, unfortunately I didn't make it. I was actually playing
golf down in the Wellington region and got through a
couple of holes after a philly bit breathless bride of
the round, and decided it was time I needed to
actually go number two and sometimes on golf courses as
a few of the between in case they were so,

(36:35):
I thought I had to dive down into the bush
which is close to a river and do my business
and quickly find something to well, we know what to
do after we do our business, Yeah, have a bit
of a wipe up and then get back up playing
the rest of the whole walk connect two more holes.
So I made it to a proper toilet so I
could pleasing myself properly and carried on with the round.

(37:00):
Little but uncomfort.

Speaker 1 (37:01):
But however, hey, look look when nature strikes, you just
got to go with it. A cage, you just gotta
go with it, and you did your best. Your colt, Aaron,
thank you for coming clean.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
You were just like I'm going to carry off. Look,
this game of golf is important. I'm going into the
to the end of the eighteen hole.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
Hain's nothing going to stop me today. You can keep
those tics coming through for what.

Speaker 3 (37:22):
Can I read you one? If not being able to
reach the toilet on time. It was late at night
and I thought i'd have a coffee beforehand to get
me motivated for a run.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
Well, first of all, terrible resk. Thanks straight through the.

Speaker 3 (37:35):
Street lights had just come on, and on my run,
I could feel my tummy turning. No public toilet in sight.
Then I saw a public rubbish bin, gracefully set on
top of it. I've never run so fast at home
in my life.

Speaker 1 (37:50):
Okay, all right, no judgment. We're appreciating your honesty, including you, Kara,
thank you for calling. When did you not quite make
the low?

Speaker 12 (37:59):
And what didn't meet and watch that clear wasn't me.
He was a high school boyfriend and one time was
on the way home and couldn't quite make it, So
he went round the back of a park and obviously
did his business, but halfway through, a dog like came
running up to him and he was like, oh no, no, no,
there's could be an owner coming, so self ready pull

(38:19):
himself up as the owner just came around the corner,
and the owner went oh gosh, like that's a big
one and then proceeded to pick up his house. Think
it was the dog, whilst my high school boyfriend was
just standing there saying yeah again.

Speaker 1 (38:36):
So dog. Did any moment go no, it's not the
dog or did he just guy have to roll it
in this moment?

Speaker 12 (38:47):
I think he went he just let the guy.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
Oh my god. I feel like we need a caller
of the way because he just wan that Carra, Oh
my god, it's outstanding. We've got to help. It's about
you're coming to you. Thank you so much. It's brilliant.
You can't top that many in the podcast now, Like,

(39:14):
I don't want to bring up the fact that it's
my birthday. No, yes, you do, No not. I actually
I want to brush that aside. To be honest, this
year is like the first year I've been like, oh,
I don't know. I just like I'm a Leo star
sign and I'm always all about birthdays. But this year
it's just felt like I want to push it aside
and just get to my son's birthday. It's sort of

(39:34):
I don't know, maybe that's just a sign that you're
starting to mature.

Speaker 3 (39:38):
There's definitely birthdays, I think where they feel more important
than Yeah, some years you just go, you know what
this is, it's nice, but it's just another day.

Speaker 1 (39:48):
Really, it has been really nice. Like I've had old
friends reach out and it always does her home, the
ones that are the troopers that are there for life,
and like I had like my own best mate just
caught me up. I started crying. I mean, she's a
clinical psychologist, but she was like, baby, she's just doing
really well. Like on the days that you feel like

(40:08):
you're not, just know that you're doing amazing. And I
was like, Dowson, thank you. She did. But then the
other thing that really stuck out to me today was
because you know how like on your birthday, I'll be
like a photo from this time ten years ago or
five years ago, and all of these photos popped up

(40:29):
throughout my life, and as I was looking at those photos,
I was like, man, I really was young, and I
was fit, and my hair wasn't as bad as I
thought it was at the time, and all of these
things that I was so insecure about at that point
in time, I look back and I'm like, what were
you worrying about? Do you ever have those moments all

(40:52):
the time all the time.

Speaker 3 (40:54):
But it's easy in the moment to think that something
is so much bigger and give it so much more
way than you ever need.

Speaker 1 (41:01):
To give it. And I just really dawn on me,
and I know this is really superficial, but like you know,
our brains can get the best of us sometimes and
be our biggest critique, but it maybe think like, if
I can't enjoy this moment right now, when am I
ever fully going to appreciate everything that I have? So
I looked back on all of these days that you know,

(41:23):
I know that I thought, oh, my thighs were too big, well,
my butt was too big, or I looked stupid in
the streets. I was like, I looked so good at
that time, do you know what I mean? Totally? And
I just thought, if you cannot see the gifts that
you have at that point in time, and it takes
you a decade later to appreciate what you have, what
is the point of it? All like, we have to

(41:45):
appreciate what is in front of us right now. And
I know this this has a bit of a random
deep one from me, but I had to give myself
a pep talk and be like, look, you're doing it again.
You're looking back then thinking oh my god, I look
so much younger. Then I'm going to look back in
five years and go, hold shit, I had so much
going for me at that time, but I didn't appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (42:04):
So next time you come to work and say, oh god,
I look like crap. Can I remind you of this conversation?

Speaker 1 (42:10):
Well, I mean I probably won't accept that. You know,
it's just nice to have this people talk giving me
now and then right So I didn't mean to make
this all about me on my birthday, like you give
me a ship for that, but it just really, I
don't know, I just felt like I had to share
that message. Don't be so hard on yourself because your
critical in a mind is always going to be like

(42:31):
tougher than anyone else sees you. And I promise you
you will look back in years to come and think, actually,
things are really good, Like things were not as bad
as I thought.
