clutching your coffee mug and I just thought, yeah, this
cafe culture suits you.

happened when he broke up with me. I text you

Speaker 2 (02:17):
We did Buthalalona there for our honeymoon last year.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
So good.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
We ended up on a nudist beach accidentally.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
I think I am There are quite a few new
I think I got my tat's out and.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
I got my bum out? Did you yeah, like very new,
did you?
Speaker 1 (02:36):
I remember wearing pretty revealing. I was in my light peak.
I was wearing like these white almost like bay Watch
red togs, but like real I can't Oh MyD you
see all my bar And then yeah, my friend and
I were just Gina got today's are right?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
They got a bit of a tan, which good. It's
just part of the course there.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Yeah, we actually I think one night we went up
I can't remember what the place was called. We took
a bottle of wine and maybe a bit of food
and we went up to this place.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
We had the view over all of the city. Yeah,
all these people climbed up.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I can't remember what it was called, though there's probably
many places INLA where.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
You can do that. We were we were in Buffalona.
And Ryan knows this very very wealthy couple from New Zealand,
like older wealth. He knows them through through real estate
and they have a boat that they had moored up
in the in the port and they had seen somewhere
(03:38):
that we were in what so you went up for
a boat ride. So they invited us on their boat.
It must be nice. It was like, have you have
you haven't seen below decay. I know the premise super
rich people, super rich people in super yachts, and they've
got staff and everything. So these people had like staff,
so we got like served drinks and they cooked lunch
(04:00):
and all this stuff on this people have so much,
so much I can't even feather. Yeah, and then having
people to work for you just know, on the daily.
But it was so unexpected, and we had we'd booked
something like a tourist attraction that afternoon, and we still
went to it because we're like, we don't have long,
we've bought this thing, we want to go and do it.
(04:21):
But we were so boozed. If you were bad. So
here we were walking around. What were they serving on
the boat? Wine? Yeah, but like expensive wine and lots
of it and you can't say no't know, and it's
for free, it's for free. How many people were on
the boat, Well it was a guest. Wise it was
just me and Ryan in this and then stuff wild.
(04:46):
I would feel. So I love the idea of rich
enough to have stuff, but I think even if I
was that rich, I would still find it very uncomfortable
and awkward to have stuff. Yeah, do you ever get
a cleaner at your house? We have in the past,
but we don't at the moment. I need to get
a cleaner in my life. Yeah, but yeah, you know
what I mean. It just feels like a bit over
(05:07):
the top clean. Yeah, because they're not like living or No.
They come for an hour, they clean your house, and
they leave. Yeah, that's fine. It's like a service. These
people are like bowing down to Yeah, you kind of not.
You don't own them, but you employee that way. Yeah. Yeah,
(05:28):
But anyway, I don't know that either of us are
ever going to be rich enough to worry about. You
never know. I might just be chipping away to Milindola
multimillion dollar business. Hey, should we go get a Burger tonight?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
I've already has a white bread fried chicken sandwich.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
You finish it off as well, be as you took
some of it to Bute. I've finished it off this building.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
It was always like, as soon as you packaged it
up to take it away, I was like, I regret
doing that.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I just ate it now. And what did you have
on the way over here?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, Cleveland Bakery. I got a vegan roll there's this
really fresh, delicious sandwich that just hits the spot. It's
super crisp and fresh.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
You're not that you're not going to say no burger tonight.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
I'll well, it's we're doing a job tonight and we can't.
I can't just do it half asked you. You got
to do it right to eat the burgie.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah, it's the entry into Wellington on a plate. Oh
my god, So we've got to give it a go.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I'm hungry, okay, and it's time for us to get
out of here. But we had a very fun show.
We talked about your valid excuses for not wearing your
wedding ring, some juicy one real juicy.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Plus what did you get hooked into because you're idle,
like an influence or a celebrity or even just like
the popular kid at school was really into it after
a grim trend sweeping social media? Plus what else do
we talk about? Oh are you?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
We wanted to know if you're a trucky? And it
was super fun. All of that and more coming up
on the podcast May the podcast.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
There are a few things that people can say to
you that you just think, Man, that's such a nice compliment.
What would be the best compliment you could receive. I mean,
something about your physical appearance is always quite nice.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Isn't it.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I suppose so. But if you're looking for a more.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Genuine, yeah, you'd like to be you'd like to be
told that you're an.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Honest lawyers, lovely kind blah blah blah blah blah blah blah,
but also hot hot. I don't say, no, I don't
get that one very often. But one that I do
love to get is God, you smell good. And it's
funny that that's a compliment that you take hold of
(07:44):
because really you haven't done it. At least you do.
Just have a really good, strong fear of mines is good.
But it's not that it's never there. It's always when
you've like doused yourself in a really nice fragrance which
someone else has made and you just happen to have
sprayed it on your body. I haven't smelled you today
that you received there. No, I hadn't. No, no one's
given me this compliment yet. But I'm just like saying,
(08:04):
it is a really nice compliment to receipt. Yes it is,
and so I love to I am always sniffing myself.
I'm going, you know, do I smell good? Am I
happy with my scent? Okay? I can go out into
the world, and hopefully I received that compliment. But today
I got to Wellington and I had to pack a bag,
and regardless of where the trippers, when the trippers, where
(08:26):
I'm going, what I'm doing, I will always forget one
thing when I'm packing a bag. It might be my toothbrush,
it might be toothpaste, it might be my charger, might
be a jacket, to animal it was my cologne. I
didn't have any cologne with me. And I got to
Wellington and I thought, no, I need to do something
about this. And we had a little bit of time
to kill while I was waiting for you to go
and do your little errands around town, just going shopping
(08:48):
in our free time. So I thought I could go shopping,
or I could go into like cosmetics store, find a
little cheeky fragrance, give myself a little spray, and then
do the old mulling it over look that you do
(09:09):
where you go, Hmmm, do I like this? Let me
just sprail a little more, spil a little more. Am
I feeling this? And then you go you don't even
necessarily talk to the talk to the shop assistant, but
you kind of in your head give the impression of
I'm just going to go away and think about it,
even if they don't see you. I love how you
get into that role. I need to just full scene
(09:32):
in my head. If I look at the box, I'm
looking at the price tag, I do a little sniff
test again, just so they know that you're generious about
purchase when an actual fact, I had no I had
no thought in my mind that I was ever going
to buy this bottle of cologne. So I did that today,
(09:53):
and I took a few because I thought, well, I
don't have colone to top myself up for when we
go to Alpha tonight, So how about I just douse
myself in this bloody thing. Oh do you get a headache?
Well maybe, but then also I'm set for the night.
So I sprayed one too many sprays? I reckon, because
how many sprays do you think you get out of
(10:14):
a free sample bottle? I don't know. Two? Maybe I
did sex? Did you sex sprays? Oh that's excessive? Did
you at least still walk around the store? You were
no shame? I walked and sprayed, I did the old
I might think about this, and then I walked out again,
and I thought, have I taken the purse a little bit?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I think everyone does when it comes to free samples,
Like no one can say no to a bit of
free stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Right, There's a fudge shopping queen's sound called the Remarkables
Fudge something you only need one or two pieces of
fudge to feel satisfied.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
I know.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
But you go in there and they've got so many
different flavors that every time I go home, I walk
in there and I go, oh, I might try this one.
Even though I've tried them all, I know exactly which
favor I like. I go in as if it's the
first time I've even walked into the shop.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Have you taken advantage of the free samples? Maybe it
was food, Maybe it was cosmetics, Maybe it was something
bigger than that. Maybe it was something pretty. It wasn't
that was free?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
What was it? And how did you take the mockey
a little bit?
Speaker 6 (11:12):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Eight hundred the hats or text four for eight seven.
We've got some helpets just to give away.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Four examples of pizza Maddy and PJ. Madi and PJ.
The podcast before any of that were talking free samples. Today,
I walked around the city trying to find myself a
cosmetic shop because I realized I had left my colone,
and I thought, can I get away with just going
in and spraying myself with a clone? Knowing full well
(11:37):
I'm never going to buy the bloody bottle.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I just had a sniff of you, and I had
to sniff hard, like I really wasn't stronger you?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Sure did you not read the pology, read the room.
I was just telling you how much how nice it
is to hear from someone you smell really good, and
you were like, I can't even smell you. It just
you really had to sniff. You should try Essentral oils.
I use them their smuck.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Okay, nice, right eleven, Relax, I don't get us talking
about free samples. Have you taken advantage? Because look, times
are tough at the moment, and when you can get
a freebie, you'll take it. Take the money now, curse
is joining us? All right?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Hundred the hats get a cursed n hears it going
very well. You've got a bit of a tap off
for us.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
I hear so I'm a chocolate but there is a
shop in the mall and slower hat that that give
away three samplings to be lucky.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
If you're lucky, though, if you're not always well.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
No, not always, but yeah, if you're lucky. So I
go only with someone that quite up and buys them
for guests. Yeah, and give a chocolate from the I
mean I would given buy them to the toss, but
they are.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
The Hey, well we're in the capable at the moment.
Maybe we could do a little drive.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
By ladder page should be on the cards. Yeah, exactly,
and you can get some more freebies next time. Ali's
go to mailer who's joining us?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Hi Mayler, Hello, how are you very well? Now? Where
do you take advantage of the free examples?
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Anytime I go to Duck Island, I have to justify
paying seven dollars for a small scoop by sampling as
much as I can.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Well, we went there and they were really like encouraging
of trying all the sample.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
We did ask them, We said, how many is too many?
And amongst take as many as you want, But do
you do it knowing for well what flavor you're going
to get?
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Anyway, Yes, every time I get the fairy bread ice cream.
For some reason, I just have to try every.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Other one, and do they give you a look at
any point where they go you've had too.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Many sometimes, but I kind of try and keep it
as small as possible.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
But I can't really help that to be on the
keep going.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
I feel going maybe les awkward if you're kind of
with a group and you're like, oh, you try this.
I feel like if you're on your just that one.
I'll try that one. I'll try that one, and that one,
and that one and that one. Ye, and that one
as well. Slightly greedy man. The podcast that the People's Poll,
(14:12):
the People's Poll. Everybody comes together, it's the People's Poll.
Are you all right?
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Mate?
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Did you get a good peck? Wow?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I expect that behavior from my son, but not from
a man who's pushing forty packing his nose as the office.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I've never witnessed you do that. Mortified anyway, Yes, the
People's Poll today. I'm sorry. I'm totally three the past. Fine,
I love you too. I should be caught out for that. Today.
In the People's Poll, we want to know about your
(14:48):
your how how early you tune up to any air pause?
And I'm not talking about international flights, because that's one
thing I'm talking about, the humble domestic airport, And it truly.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Depends what airline you're flying with, Like surely it comes
down to that, because one airline, we'll tell you one thing,
at another airline, we'll tell you another.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I'm pretty sure Jetstar's latest one is forty eight minutes. Yes,
well that's when it closes.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
But honestly, you need to give yourself a good sixty minutes,
I reckon when you're with jet Star.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
So this morning I had to get from my house
to the airport, and I left it a little late
to book the uber. And then when I booked the uber,
it was going to take me take like fifteen minutes
for this uber to arrive at my house. So I
was very behind already, and I was sitting in the
Uber going, oh my god, I'm really pushed, like I'm
really cutting it fine. So what time was the fly flight?
(15:38):
Was it ten? Yeah? And what time are you going
to arrive at the airport? Nine thirty five? So twenty
five minutes? Yeah, Oh no, that's no.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
You've got to give yourself at least thirty minutes. Especially
in New Zealand, you get to have thirty and then
I'd say sixty for Jetstar.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
That's my answer. So we wanted to know how long
do you leave it before to get to the airport.
If your flight leaves at a certain time, how soon
in advance to that are you actually arriving at the
domestic term? Yeah, and this is just domestic because some
people do give it a lot of time. Yeah, I
don't need that time.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
I know.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
We have actually put something on our Hits Instagram page
that Hits drive with medi and PJ, and we gave
it four different categories under thirty minutes, thirty minutes to
an hour, one to two hours or two hours.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
No, no one is going to be above two hours
for a domestic from life, you would be surprise.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Really have people tacked that? People have ticked that.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Okay, so that's not our social But you can also
text in for the people's poll to four four eight seven.
Right now, how early you get to the airport for
a domestic flight. Get in touch and we'll come back
and reveal the results next. We're already getting messages through
don't travel often, but forty five minutes, says Michelle.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Okay, I think forty five is a good bit. That's
solid safe.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Bet keep your texts coming through four four eight seven
Madi and PJ.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
The Podcast Pools Poll, the Big Pools Poll. Everybody comes together.
It's the Big Pools polled.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
All right, this is our time of day where we
get the definitive answer on a certain topic. Can be trivial,
it could be more pressing. Today it's again somewhere in
the middle. Medi was at the airport today and he
was traveling domestically and he pushed.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
It all point. I had to do the mad dash
from the you because you know these days with an uber,
they dropped you off so far the gate, so you've
got to do it. I had to do the mad
dash through security.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
So we want to know how soon do you arrive
at the airport when it's a domestic flight.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
We put it up on our Instagram page and we
gave a few different options. We said like thirty minutes
and under, thirty minutes to an hour, one hour to
two hours, two hours plus. There is so many differing
opinions I know on this. Someone said usually at least
thirty minutes before checking closers. Yeah, someone I've said, it
(17:56):
doesn't depends on the airport. You don't have to do
much running when you're getting to the napier because it's
straight through.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
I love the small regional reports. There's just no lines,
no fuss. Someone just text and saying three outlets for
domestic flights and always said, afternoon, guys on two hours plus,
have a great day, Michelle. As a travel agent, we
usually say forty five minutes minimum for a domestic flight,
especially if you have a cheecked bag to drop.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I think that's solid advice. I think forty five solid
two hours plus.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Well, someone said if I'm going about the kids, then
two hours before flight.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
So I can never drink at the bar. That's fair enough.
And a lot of people have said, look, I'm lucky
enough to have Corey lounge exis. So if you've got
the lounge exis, you got a whole day before. We're
still waiting on oury. Weren't we meant to have.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Midyear catch up with the bosses to assis? How many
flights we'd have to see if we call it for
the special cord action, who gets caught in our company?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Obviously host English, I reckon there'll be out, There'll be others.
There will definitely be others old chet our cousins. Yeah,
what about Jeremy Wells?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Just me said blind, Hey do you have any I'm
sure I've wrecked up a lot. Anyway, this is a
chat for another day off here.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
If we look at the results on our Instagram page
in terms of actual percentages, we have got fifty two percent,
so the majority, by far I have said thirty minutes
to an hour, So yeah, that forty five minutes weeks
for the weekend, thirty three percent said one to two hours,
seven percent said two hours plus. Yeah, they just want
(19:35):
some free time. And then there's see a few people
who are cutting at foining like old Maddy McLean over
here thirty to six many and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
That are You.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
In the meantime, we are having fun with our job

Speaker 2 (23:08):
I'm just gonna say the chape for your prices. Spanish

Speaker 2 (23:30):

quick over and out from you as if you were

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Yea? I love it? Well done. Yeah, we'll take that.
Thank you so much for playing, Sam. You have a
great afternoon. Enjoy the SCEs role. Sam Well, Upe over
and out, Tim four, Maddy andj Madi and PJ the
(24:14):
podcast The Heads.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Okay, it's time to turn the internet off, reset it
and just go back to the beginning.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Sometimes I do have that feeling where we've got throwed
in the trash. Just shut it out and start right
from scratch.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I saw a story about a Brazilian model influencer who
has made headlines for a beauty trend which she has
been promoting on her channel.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Oh God, she's got the internet.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Talking with her BIZASKU and ca routine which involves her
very own feces on her face. I'm not even joking.
When I first read this, I was like, na, no, no,
surely there's some kind of catch no. So she sort
of talks her followers through the process. She takes out
a small container from the.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Refrigerator, not doing this on the video.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Oh yeah, she takes us small container from the refrigerator
where she stores it because apparently that keeps it nice
and cold. Is the video progresses, she applies the faces
all over her face, but she's clear because she's blocked
her eyes with a clip. So she's got a clip
on her eyes to just as sure that she doesn't
get the stage of it. And she said it's the
(25:23):
craziest thing she's done in her life. But she reckons
that this has made her skin stop flaking, and it's
creating amazing results. Since then, professionals have come out and
can I just say, please, if you're listening to this,
do not try this out. One germatologist wait and saying
this is the strangest treating she's ever come across. And
(25:46):
not only is it strange that there's absolutely no scientific
benefit to your skin faces is a face mask?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Because this is what I was going to say. There's strange,
but there's strange but at works. Yeah, but you are
saying strange and doesn't even do anything. So basically just
wiping your own creep on your face for no good reason.
Well when you think about.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
It, like that's all your toxins from your body, Like
there can't be all the good stuff.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
It's going to be all the bad stuff, right right?
And like surely this just buying one of the face
masks like eye out.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Oh, it's just turned the Internet. It's time to turn
it off, guys, It's time to start again.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Babe. Have you ever heard of moisturager? Do you know
what I mean?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
I just like, what's terrifying is that there will be
people that genuinely look at this video.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Right, well, she does it. I love her. I look
up to her, she's my ardor I'm going to go
and do this. This is the problem with influences. We
are regularly just sucked into their vorty.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
But is it just influences and it is this just
a recent thing or have we always been privy to
doing things that people we idolize do well?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
It's it's why companies pay big buckstep celebrity.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
And have you or anyone you know even been a
sucker for doing something because someone they idolized it?
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I can think of one off the top of my
head mate. One of my best friends, Chloe, is a
sucker for anything she eat is easily influenced. Yes, And
there's a Timberland song that sings. He sings about having
a Red American Express. You read it, car, Yeah, I
got no Red American Express. So what did she do? No?
(27:23):
She did it as a twenty year old. A twenty
year old we just finished university, so we were already
ended up to our eyeballs and debt. She went out
and got herself a Red American Express song card just
because Timberland rapped about it in this song. All right,
oh wait, one hundred the hats.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
We're not going to judge you, But what did you
do because the person you idolized did this thing. Maybe
it was a celebrity, a sports star. As you were
growing up, you just felt like you're doing it wrong
because they did this.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
You did it termed. Maybe it was just the popular
kid at school wore something really cool and you thought,
I'm gonna do that too.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
For eight seven give us a I wait, one hundred
the hats and if we get you on the air,
we've got a little chemist ware House prize coming away
to Milans and one Republic.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
What are the chances that was coming Mady J Mady
and PJ the.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Podcast that we want to know what you did because
of what the person you idolized did, because of what
your idol did. Maybe it was an influence. So maybe
it was an actor, a sports star. You decided that
because they did it, it would be a great idea
that you did too.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
You told a cautionary tale of an influencer in Brazil.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Yes, basically going through her latest routine that she swears
by to remove the flaky skin on her face, and
that is to apply her own feces is it face mask?
Speaker 5 (28:50):
Now?
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Can I just say do not do not do this?
Home kids or adults or anyone lasting. But we wanted
to know because we're all guilty. I'm sure I've.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Done this so many times where I loved someone online
and I'm like, well, they say it's good, I'm going
to do it. Mel is joining us? What did you do?
Mal So?
Speaker 4 (29:08):
I must have been name And at the time, Neighbors
was really popular, and there was Charlene and Scott, you know,
like Plie Minogue and Jason one of them. Yes, I
loved Kylie, but I was in love with with Jason.
A nine year old mouth thought if I looked like Kylie,
then Jason would marry me. I convinced my parents to
let me get a spiral perm because.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
And did it work.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Oh, I looked amazing for the first week, and then
you know, the brushing of it made it go frizzy,
and then all happen because it didn't quite look right.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Yeah, they're ain't an easy haircut.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
No no, And I know I didn't marry Jason.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
So desting.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Look at those text I used to have three piercings
on each ear and I watched an influence to do
a video on how to wash your jewelry, and I
did and then I had a severe allergic reaction to
my earrings and have never been able to do earrings ever. Again,
it's been three years. Every time I try and putoneering
in the in fiction kicks off again. Why once again
accuding retail? It's got a Nikki on hundred the hats?
(30:14):
Who did you look up to?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Niki?
Speaker 6 (30:17):
First off, that Pooh story just made me have a
little bit of stick in my mouth.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
It was a full blown rock bottom disgustedly.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
Oh no, I was, I was little. I'm just framing
the story.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
I was little.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
But was that first movie?
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Do you remember the Violet by regards?
Speaker 3 (30:33):
You know you're turning violent Violet?
Speaker 7 (30:35):
That?
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Yes, yes, she too gum and then when she was
trying the new pearl gum, she put a chewing gum
behind the stored it.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
All the time.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
A good idea at the time.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
So yes, I put my chewing gum behind my ear
And then my mom had to go tell my mom
because I couldn't get it out of the all tangled
in my hair.
Speaker 7 (30:55):
We had to cut it out.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Hold, do you know what I've beat you? You're not alone?
I reckon would have been so many people. They would
have done the exact same thing because of Violet By exactly.
She's got a lot to answer for that woman does
Maddy and PJ.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Mady and PJ the podcast from Wellington. Maddy and I
feel naked today, full blown naked.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Oh you don't have your winning ring on?
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Yeah, And this is I haven't done this for a
long time at least. I like going for a swim
or whatever and I just pop on it out. But
the other night I had like a reaction on my
finger and I just felt like I needed to just
let my finger breathe.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
So I've taken it off and I've left my rings
at home and I feel like, I don't know, it
feels weird walking around the store, which is funny because
it's not like you've been wearing one for years.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
No, but you know, I've been wearing it since March.
And now that itself, I'm like, oh, they don't think
that I'm a solo woman.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
It's just come to the big smoke and all of
a sudden, she's free in footload and she's all got it.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
But like it just got me thinking of all the
reasons why people don't we're wedding rings, and I mean
mine is a very low level excuse for not to
be wearing one, and it's a legitimate one. It's not
like I just will want to be, you know, solo
for the night while wearing Wellington.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Well, my husband hasn't been wearing one for the last
couple of months because he genuinely lost it. He lost it.
That's his excuse, because yes, he did lose it. But
has he done anything to replace it since? No, not
at all.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
But there are the people who work in professions where
you literally can't wear a rending ring. I mean obviously
like heavy machinery and if you're out like in quite
a physical job. But I want to know other reasons
why people don't And how long has it been since
you wore the ring?
Speaker 2 (32:47):
And at what point do you go maybe when did
the excuse become just the reality?
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Oh like one hundred of the hairs you can text
through four four eight seven? What is your valid raiser.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
For not wearing a wedding ring?
Speaker 1 (33:01):
And do you feel guilty? And do you kind of
get used to the nake? I can'd of wish that
we've gone down that tattoo roote.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
I do know a few people that have done that.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Yeah, like where they just get their partner's name tattooed,
which is quite romant. I'd love it if I just
had my like just because I'm I'm quite a Leo
star sign.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
It's romant. It's uh, it's dangerous for lag, But yeah,
what is your valid excuse for not wearing the ring?
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Us A hundred the hats you can tax more for
eight seven we've got some help pizza up for grabs.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Many in PJ the podcast.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
We're just talking about how I feel naked today because
I we're away in Wellington for the day and I'm
not wearing my wedding ring or my engagement ring. And
the reason behind this is because I had a bit
of a skin. Don't give me the eyebrow raise actually did.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
It's just convenient that it's the night that you come
to the big city.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
I'm going out to party. I'm driving back over that
in at Tucker Hill tonight.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
I'll have you know, to be Mike Todd laugh. It's fine,
I'll keep I'll keep an eye on her, all right.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
I had like a little raggy thing on the hand
because since moving rurally, I don't know what it is,
but every winter my hands get rid, so I decided
to give it a bit of a break, but I
wanted to know on the phones. I'll wait one hundred
the hats. What's your valid raisin for not wearing your
wedding ring? Carrie's joining us? Good a Carrie good?
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Yeah, not too bad? What's what's the valid raisin?
Speaker 6 (34:26):
My husband? It's just just a ship really, he just
he says his his knuckles are too big, and of
course it just wobbles around at the excuse thirty years
we've been married this year and he doesn't wear it.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
I just think some guys don't like rings. When did it?
When did he stop wearing it?
Speaker 6 (34:45):
Oh, well, there's a big rugby game in christ Church
thirty years ago.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
We lost.
Speaker 6 (34:51):
We lost the rugby Gametigo and a lady system on
our honeymoon.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
She goes, oh, he just got married, and he goes yes,
and that was it.
Speaker 5 (35:00):
I never wanted to what he's naughty?
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Naughty, Just honestly, I don't think my husband's ever going
to wear hers. He's a big rugby playing farmer and
he's got big knuckles.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
I get it. The knuckles is a far beach. Just excuse,
he just doesn't want to wear the ring. Rebecca is
joining us, Now what about you, Beck?
Speaker 4 (35:20):
Same sort of thing.
Speaker 6 (35:21):
Actually, guys, my husband was playing rugby and he got
tackled wrong. But he'sfication of a finger.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
She can't get us ring on anymore?
Speaker 7 (35:30):
Why can't he just spirit?
Speaker 3 (35:31):
On the other hand, this is true, but I want
to think that I had to be dead.
Speaker 7 (35:36):
To do that.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
But it can genuinely be dangerous if they had quite
physical jobs.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Is he out and about?
Speaker 1 (35:44):
No? No, nice, there's no danger there at all. At
least he's typing too fast on the computer. All right,
He's got his Sophie wrap it up here. So what
was the valid reason for not wearing the ring?
Speaker 5 (36:00):
Well, me and my my husband actually secretly got a
loved so I actually work with my father. So during
the weekends, when I go back home, I get to
put it on. But during the week obviously I can't
wear it otherwise my my dad would find out.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Sure, are you just going to take this a secret forever?
Speaker 7 (36:21):
No?
Speaker 5 (36:22):
Only for six months and then in January we'll tell everyone.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Oh god, you've given us a fake name and we haven't.
Just no, But here's my question, are you are you yes?
Speaker 4 (36:36):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Yes? Your name is definitely not Sophie, so definitely not
so definitely not called Sophie. Are you terrified that you're
going to forget one Monday morning to take it off?
Speaker 5 (36:49):
I almost did this weekend because he lives in the
White Cuttle, so I when I was leaving to come
back to Totong, I almost forgotten. I had to kind
of give it to him, and I made the joke.
I was like, oh, sorry, this isn't working out, and
gave him back to ring.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
Oh my god, you'd have to see me alarm on
your phone, I would genuine all day.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
I will definitely not Sophie. Thank you so much of
the call.
Speaker 5 (37:14):
No, and and just also my my husband also works
as an engineer, so he can't wear.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
His either, so he went, well, that's convenient for the
first podcast. Seas you and I are pretty agreeable most
of the times, I would say we've we've we're on
the same page on a lot of things.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Yeah, i'd say that's that's fairly accurate.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
I reckon though. We had one of our biggest disagreements
we've had ever last week, and that was over which
type of apple was better, a red apple or a
green apple. See growing up.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
I was always red, like hands down, But I don't know,
maybe this is just a maturity thing. But more recently
I have found the green apple to be so much
more fulfilling, particularly when you're Thursday.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
It just really hits a spot. No, it's so sour
and bitter and No, there's so many better, more better
apples out there in this country. So I thought, we
can have this disagreement back and forth for as long
as we want to, But maybe we just need to
go to an expert, and there is any expert that
we can go to. His name is Brian Franch. He's
(38:27):
also affectionately referred to as the Apple List, and he
runs the official Apple rankings website. Brian joins us. Now, Hi, Brian, Hi,
how are you can?
Speaker 7 (38:38):
I just say it hurts my soul to hear of
apples described as red or green. There are so many
many varieties of apples that fall under red and green
and yellow.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
This thought there was only the Granny Smith under the green.
Speaker 7 (38:57):
Oh no, there actually is more yellow apples than there
are green apples. But there are way hundreds hundreds of
apples that are green, other than the most famous green
apple of all, the Granny.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Smith, Brian, how did this love of apples begin? Before
we get into the nitty gritty, how did your love
of apples begin?
Speaker 7 (39:16):
Well, it's my love of apples began with a hate
of apples, because one day I went to the Score
and I bought myself a Red Delicious apple and I
bit into the thing and I said, you know what,
I don't understand how God could allow such an apple
to exist on this earth. It is a meally disgrace.
(39:36):
Cofty grinds in a leather glove.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
So what constitutes a good apple? We've got some fantastic
apples in New Zealand. Red Delicious is a very popular
apple here in New Zealand. But you're saying get rid
of it, chuck it in the bin.
Speaker 7 (39:50):
It's a sad truth. It's sad that the Red Delics
is bill the most popular apple in the world New Zealand,
I will say, is in my opinion, and this is
my expert opinion. I am the number one apple expert
in the world. New Zealand is the number one apple
country in the world that includes my home country of America.
You guys have the best apples, which is why it
(40:10):
is so sad to think of someone in your country
loving the Granny Smith. By the way, an Australian apple
made by a British expat, not even not even a
New Zealand apple. There's so many amazing New Zealand apples
that you could be showing your patriotic streak and supporting,
But instead you're jumping across the pond is going to
(40:31):
Australia and eating some grandma's discarded trank.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
How much of your daily holas dedicated to apples?
Speaker 7 (40:40):
Oh, well, including the ones when I'm asleep. I guess
I do sometimes dream of apples, but I think I
would say a good twelve hours a day. I have nothing.
You have to understand, I have no children. The Apple
rankings website is all I have. It is my legacy
when I die is all I will leave behind.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
I love it, Brian. So you are sign a page,
get rid of the Granny Smith, get in the bin
where it belongs, and get on board.
Speaker 7 (41:03):
Anything's better than a granny shit.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Okay, okay, I just think that they're just quite hydrating,
like when you're really Thursday. I just feel like a
Granny apple hits the spot. But do you know what
You're right I'll branch out and I'll enjoy our homegrown
New Zealand apples, not ones that are from Britain or Australia.
Speaker 7 (41:20):
That warms my heart every day, and every day I
can just convert one person away from the dark grasp
of the Granny Smith, I would consider that a success.
So thank you, thank you for converting.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
Thank you Redshot, thank you Brian. We really appreciate it.

see all my bar And then yeah, my friend and
I were just Gina got today's are right?
Speaker 2 (02:53):
They got a bit of a tan, which good. It's
just part of the course there.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Yeah, we actually I think one night we went up
I can't remember what the place was called. We took
a bottle of wine and maybe a bit of food
and we went up to this place.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
We had the view over all of the city. Yeah,
all these people climbed up.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I can't remember what it was called, though there's probably
many places INLA where.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
You can do that. We were we were in Buffalona.
And Ryan knows this very very wealthy couple from New Zealand,
like older wealth. He knows them through through real estate
and they have a boat that they had moored up
in the in the port and they had seen somewhere
(03:38):
that we were in what so you went up for
a boat ride. So they invited us on their boat.
It must be nice. It was like, have you have
you haven't seen below decay. I know the premise super
rich people, super rich people in super yachts, and they've
got staff and everything. So these people had like staff,
so we got like served drinks and they cooked lunch
(04:00):
and all this stuff on this people have so much,
so much I can't even feather. Yeah, and then having
people to work for you just know, on the daily.
But it was so unexpected, and we had we'd booked
something like a tourist attraction that afternoon, and we still
went to it because we're like, we don't have long,
we've bought this thing, we want to go and do it.
(04:21):
But we were so boozed. If you were bad. So
here we were walking around. What were they serving on
the boat? Wine? Yeah, but like expensive wine and lots
of it and you can't say no't know, and it's
for free, it's for free. How many people were on
the boat, Well it was a guest. Wise it was
just me and Ryan in this and then stuff wild.
(04:46):
I would feel. So I love the idea of rich
enough to have stuff, but I think even if I
was that rich, I would still find it very uncomfortable
and awkward to have stuff. Yeah, do you ever get
a cleaner at your house? We have in the past,
but we don't at the moment. I need to get
a cleaner in my life. Yeah, but yeah, you know
what I mean. It just feels like a bit over
(05:07):
the top clean. Yeah, because they're not like living or No.
They come for an hour, they clean your house, and
they leave. Yeah, that's fine. It's like a service. These
people are like bowing down to Yeah, you kind of not.
You don't own them, but you employee that way. Yeah. Yeah,
(05:28):
But anyway, I don't know that either of us are
ever going to be rich enough to worry about. You
never know. I might just be chipping away to Milindola
multimillion dollar business. Hey, should we go get a Burger tonight?
Speaker 1 (05:41):
I've already has a white bread fried chicken sandwich.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
You finish it off as well, be as you took
some of it to Bute. I've finished it off this building.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
It was always like, as soon as you packaged it
up to take it away, I was like, I regret
doing that.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
I just ate it now. And what did you have
on the way over here?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, Cleveland Bakery. I got a vegan roll there's this
really fresh, delicious sandwich that just hits the spot. It's
super crisp and fresh.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
You're not that you're not going to say no burger tonight.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
I'll well, it's we're doing a job tonight and we can't.
I can't just do it half asked you. You got
to do it right to eat the burgie.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Yeah, it's the entry into Wellington on a plate. Oh
my god, So we've got to give it a go.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I'm hungry, okay, and it's time for us to get
out of here. But we had a very fun show.
We talked about your valid excuses for not wearing your
wedding ring, some juicy one real juicy.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Plus what did you get hooked into because you're idle,
like an influence or a celebrity or even just like
the popular kid at school was really into it after
a grim trend sweeping social media? Plus what else do
we talk about? Oh are you?
Speaker 1 (06:50):
We wanted to know if you're a trucky? And it
was super fun. All of that and more coming up
on the podcast May the podcast.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
There are a few things that people can say to
you that you just think, Man, that's such a nice compliment.
What would be the best compliment you could receive. I mean,
something about your physical appearance is always quite nice.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Isn't it.
Speaker 2 (07:14):
I suppose so. But if you're looking for a more.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
Genuine, yeah, you'd like to be you'd like to be
told that you're an.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Honest lawyers, lovely kind blah blah blah blah blah blah blah,
but also hot hot. I don't say, no, I don't
get that one very often. But one that I do
love to get is God, you smell good. And it's
funny that that's a compliment that you take hold of
(07:44):
because really you haven't done it. At least you do.
Just have a really good, strong fear of mines is good.
But it's not that it's never there. It's always when
you've like doused yourself in a really nice fragrance which
someone else has made and you just happen to have
sprayed it on your body. I haven't smelled you today
that you received there. No, I hadn't. No, no one's
given me this compliment yet. But I'm just like saying,
(08:04):
it is a really nice compliment to receipt. Yes it is,
and so I love to I am always sniffing myself.
I'm going, you know, do I smell good? Am I
happy with my scent? Okay? I can go out into
the world, and hopefully I received that compliment. But today
I got to Wellington and I had to pack a bag,
and regardless of where the trippers, when the trippers, where
(08:26):
I'm going, what I'm doing, I will always forget one
thing when I'm packing a bag. It might be my toothbrush,
it might be toothpaste, it might be my charger, might
be a jacket, to animal it was my cologne. I
didn't have any cologne with me. And I got to
Wellington and I thought, no, I need to do something
about this. And we had a little bit of time
to kill while I was waiting for you to go
and do your little errands around town, just going shopping
(08:48):
in our free time. So I thought I could go shopping,
or I could go into like cosmetics store, find a
little cheeky fragrance, give myself a little spray, and then
do the old mulling it over look that you do
(09:09):
where you go, Hmmm, do I like this? Let me
just sprail a little more, spil a little more. Am
I feeling this? And then you go you don't even
necessarily talk to the talk to the shop assistant, but
you kind of in your head give the impression of
I'm just going to go away and think about it,
even if they don't see you. I love how you
get into that role. I need to just full scene
(09:32):
in my head. If I look at the box, I'm
looking at the price tag, I do a little sniff
test again, just so they know that you're generious about
purchase when an actual fact, I had no I had
no thought in my mind that I was ever going
to buy this bottle of cologne. So I did that today,
(09:53):
and I took a few because I thought, well, I
don't have colone to top myself up for when we
go to Alpha tonight, So how about I just douse
myself in this bloody thing. Oh do you get a headache?
Well maybe, but then also I'm set for the night.
So I sprayed one too many sprays? I reckon, because
how many sprays do you think you get out of
(10:14):
a free sample bottle? I don't know. Two? Maybe I
did sex? Did you sex sprays? Oh that's excessive? Did
you at least still walk around the store? You were
no shame? I walked and sprayed, I did the old
I might think about this, and then I walked out again,
and I thought, have I taken the purse a little bit?
Speaker 1 (10:34):
I think everyone does when it comes to free samples,
Like no one can say no to a bit of
free stuff.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
Right, There's a fudge shopping queen's sound called the Remarkables
Fudge something you only need one or two pieces of
fudge to feel satisfied.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
I know.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
But you go in there and they've got so many
different flavors that every time I go home, I walk
in there and I go, oh, I might try this one.
Even though I've tried them all, I know exactly which
favor I like. I go in as if it's the
first time I've even walked into the shop.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Have you taken advantage of the free samples? Maybe it
was food, Maybe it was cosmetics, Maybe it was something
bigger than that. Maybe it was something pretty. It wasn't
that was free?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
What was it? And how did you take the mockey
a little bit?
Speaker 6 (11:12):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Eight hundred the hats or text four for eight seven.
We've got some helpets just to give away.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
Four examples of pizza Maddy and PJ. Madi and PJ.
The podcast before any of that were talking free samples. Today,
I walked around the city trying to find myself a
cosmetic shop because I realized I had left my colone,
and I thought, can I get away with just going
in and spraying myself with a clone? Knowing full well
(11:37):
I'm never going to buy the bloody bottle.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I just had a sniff of you, and I had
to sniff hard, like I really wasn't stronger you?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Sure did you not read the pology, read the room.
I was just telling you how much how nice it
is to hear from someone you smell really good, and
you were like, I can't even smell you. It just
you really had to sniff. You should try Essentral oils.
I use them their smuck.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Okay, nice, right eleven, Relax, I don't get us talking
about free samples. Have you taken advantage? Because look, times
are tough at the moment, and when you can get
a freebie, you'll take it. Take the money now, curse
is joining us? All right?
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Hundred the hats get a cursed n hears it going
very well. You've got a bit of a tap off
for us.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
I hear so I'm a chocolate but there is a
shop in the mall and slower hat that that give
away three samplings to be lucky.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
If you're lucky, though, if you're not always well.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
No, not always, but yeah, if you're lucky. So I
go only with someone that quite up and buys them
for guests. Yeah, and give a chocolate from the I
mean I would given buy them to the toss, but
they are.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
The Hey, well we're in the capable at the moment.
Maybe we could do a little drive.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
By ladder page should be on the cards. Yeah, exactly,
and you can get some more freebies next time. Ali's
go to mailer who's joining us?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Hi Mayler, Hello, how are you very well? Now? Where
do you take advantage of the free examples?
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Anytime I go to Duck Island, I have to justify
paying seven dollars for a small scoop by sampling as
much as I can.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Well, we went there and they were really like encouraging
of trying all the sample.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
We did ask them, We said, how many is too many?
And amongst take as many as you want, But do
you do it knowing for well what flavor you're going
to get?
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Anyway, Yes, every time I get the fairy bread ice cream.
For some reason, I just have to try every.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Other one, and do they give you a look at
any point where they go you've had too.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Many sometimes, but I kind of try and keep it
as small as possible.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
But I can't really help that to be on the
keep going.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
I feel going maybe les awkward if you're kind of
with a group and you're like, oh, you try this.
I feel like if you're on your just that one.
I'll try that one. I'll try that one, and that one,
and that one and that one. Ye, and that one
as well. Slightly greedy man. The podcast that the People's Poll,
(14:12):
the People's Poll. Everybody comes together, it's the People's Poll.
Are you all right?
Speaker 1 (14:16):
Mate?
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Did you get a good peck? Wow?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I expect that behavior from my son, but not from
a man who's pushing forty packing his nose as the office.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
I've never witnessed you do that. Mortified anyway, Yes, the
People's Poll today. I'm sorry. I'm totally three the past. Fine,
I love you too. I should be caught out for that. Today.
In the People's Poll, we want to know about your
(14:48):
your how how early you tune up to any air pause?
And I'm not talking about international flights, because that's one
thing I'm talking about, the humble domestic airport, And it truly.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Depends what airline you're flying with, Like surely it comes
down to that, because one airline, we'll tell you one thing,
at another airline, we'll tell you another.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I'm pretty sure Jetstar's latest one is forty eight minutes. Yes,
well that's when it closes.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
But honestly, you need to give yourself a good sixty minutes,
I reckon when you're with jet Star.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
So this morning I had to get from my house
to the airport, and I left it a little late
to book the uber. And then when I booked the uber,
it was going to take me take like fifteen minutes
for this uber to arrive at my house. So I
was very behind already, and I was sitting in the
Uber going, oh my god, I'm really pushed, like I'm
really cutting it fine. So what time was the fly flight?
(15:38):
Was it ten? Yeah? And what time are you going
to arrive at the airport? Nine thirty five? So twenty
five minutes? Yeah, Oh no, that's no.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
You've got to give yourself at least thirty minutes. Especially
in New Zealand, you get to have thirty and then
I'd say sixty for Jetstar.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
That's my answer. So we wanted to know how long
do you leave it before to get to the airport.
If your flight leaves at a certain time, how soon
in advance to that are you actually arriving at the
domestic term? Yeah, and this is just domestic because some
people do give it a lot of time. Yeah, I
don't need that time.
Speaker 7 (16:11):
I know.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
We have actually put something on our Hits Instagram page
that Hits drive with medi and PJ, and we gave
it four different categories under thirty minutes, thirty minutes to
an hour, one to two hours or two hours.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
No, no one is going to be above two hours
for a domestic from life, you would be surprise.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
Really have people tacked that? People have ticked that.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Okay, so that's not our social But you can also
text in for the people's poll to four four eight seven.
Right now, how early you get to the airport for
a domestic flight. Get in touch and we'll come back
and reveal the results next. We're already getting messages through
don't travel often, but forty five minutes, says Michelle.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Okay, I think forty five is a good bit. That's
solid safe.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Bet keep your texts coming through four four eight seven
Madi and PJ.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
The Podcast Pools Poll, the Big Pools Poll. Everybody comes together.
It's the Big Pools polled.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
All right, this is our time of day where we
get the definitive answer on a certain topic. Can be trivial,
it could be more pressing. Today it's again somewhere in
the middle. Medi was at the airport today and he
was traveling domestically and he pushed.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
It all point. I had to do the mad dash
from the you because you know these days with an uber,
they dropped you off so far the gate, so you've
got to do it. I had to do the mad
dash through security.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
So we want to know how soon do you arrive
at the airport when it's a domestic flight.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
We put it up on our Instagram page and we
gave a few different options. We said like thirty minutes
and under, thirty minutes to an hour, one hour to
two hours, two hours plus. There is so many differing
opinions I know on this. Someone said usually at least
thirty minutes before checking closers. Yeah, someone I've said, it
(17:56):
doesn't depends on the airport. You don't have to do
much running when you're getting to the napier because it's
straight through.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
I love the small regional reports. There's just no lines,
no fuss. Someone just text and saying three outlets for
domestic flights and always said, afternoon, guys on two hours plus,
have a great day, Michelle. As a travel agent, we
usually say forty five minutes minimum for a domestic flight,
especially if you have a cheecked bag to drop.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I think that's solid advice. I think forty five solid
two hours plus.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Well, someone said if I'm going about the kids, then
two hours before flight.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
So I can never drink at the bar. That's fair enough.
And a lot of people have said, look, I'm lucky
enough to have Corey lounge exis. So if you've got
the lounge exis, you got a whole day before. We're
still waiting on oury. Weren't we meant to have.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
Midyear catch up with the bosses to assis? How many
flights we'd have to see if we call it for
the special cord action, who gets caught in our company?
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Obviously host English, I reckon there'll be out, There'll be others.
There will definitely be others old chet our cousins. Yeah,
what about Jeremy Wells?
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Just me said blind, Hey do you have any I'm
sure I've wrecked up a lot. Anyway, this is a
chat for another day off here.
Speaker 2 (19:14):
If we look at the results on our Instagram page
in terms of actual percentages, we have got fifty two percent,
so the majority, by far I have said thirty minutes
to an hour, So yeah, that forty five minutes weeks
for the weekend, thirty three percent said one to two hours,
seven percent said two hours plus. Yeah, they just want
(19:35):
some free time. And then there's see a few people
who are cutting at foining like old Maddy McLean over
here thirty to six many and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 7 (19:47):
That are You.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
In the meantime, we are having fun with our job

Thank you so much for playing, Sam. You have a
great afternoon. Enjoy the SCEs role. Sam Well, Upe over
and out, Tim four, Maddy andj Madi and PJ the
(24:14):
podcast The Heads.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Okay, it's time to turn the internet off, reset it
and just go back to the beginning.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Sometimes I do have that feeling where we've got throwed
in the trash. Just shut it out and start right
from scratch.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I saw a story about a Brazilian model influencer who
has made headlines for a beauty trend which she has
been promoting on her channel.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Oh God, she's got the internet.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Talking with her BIZASKU and ca routine which involves her
very own feces on her face. I'm not even joking.
When I first read this, I was like, na, no, no,
surely there's some kind of catch no. So she sort
of talks her followers through the process. She takes out
a small container from the.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Refrigerator, not doing this on the video.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
Oh yeah, she takes us small container from the refrigerator
where she stores it because apparently that keeps it nice
and cold. Is the video progresses, she applies the faces
all over her face, but she's clear because she's blocked
her eyes with a clip. So she's got a clip
on her eyes to just as sure that she doesn't
get the stage of it. And she said it's the
(25:23):
craziest thing she's done in her life. But she reckons
that this has made her skin stop flaking, and it's
creating amazing results. Since then, professionals have come out and
can I just say, please, if you're listening to this,
do not try this out. One germatologist wait and saying
this is the strangest treating she's ever come across. And
(25:46):
not only is it strange that there's absolutely no scientific
benefit to your skin faces is a face mask?
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Because this is what I was going to say. There's strange,
but there's strange but at works. Yeah, but you are
saying strange and doesn't even do anything. So basically just
wiping your own creep on your face for no good reason.
Well when you think about.
Speaker 1 (26:03):
It, like that's all your toxins from your body, Like
there can't be all the good stuff.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
It's going to be all the bad stuff, right right?
And like surely this just buying one of the face
masks like eye out.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Oh, it's just turned the Internet. It's time to turn
it off, guys, It's time to start again.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
Babe. Have you ever heard of moisturager? Do you know
what I mean?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
I just like, what's terrifying is that there will be
people that genuinely look at this video.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Right, well, she does it. I love her. I look
up to her, she's my ardor I'm going to go
and do this. This is the problem with influences. We
are regularly just sucked into their vorty.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
But is it just influences and it is this just
a recent thing or have we always been privy to
doing things that people we idolize do well?
Speaker 2 (26:49):
It's it's why companies pay big buckstep celebrity.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
And have you or anyone you know even been a
sucker for doing something because someone they idolized it?
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I can think of one off the top of my
head mate. One of my best friends, Chloe, is a
sucker for anything she eat is easily influenced. Yes, And
there's a Timberland song that sings. He sings about having
a Red American Express. You read it, car, Yeah, I
got no Red American Express. So what did she do? No?
(27:23):
She did it as a twenty year old. A twenty
year old we just finished university, so we were already
ended up to our eyeballs and debt. She went out
and got herself a Red American Express song card just
because Timberland rapped about it in this song. All right,
oh wait, one hundred the hats.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
We're not going to judge you, But what did you
do because the person you idolized did this thing. Maybe
it was a celebrity, a sports star. As you were
growing up, you just felt like you're doing it wrong
because they did this.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
You did it termed. Maybe it was just the popular
kid at school wore something really cool and you thought,
I'm gonna do that too.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
For eight seven give us a I wait, one hundred
the hats and if we get you on the air,
we've got a little chemist ware House prize coming away
to Milans and one Republic.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
What are the chances that was coming Mady J Mady
and PJ the.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Podcast that we want to know what you did because
of what the person you idolized did, because of what
your idol did. Maybe it was an influence. So maybe
it was an actor, a sports star. You decided that
because they did it, it would be a great idea
that you did too.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
You told a cautionary tale of an influencer in Brazil.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Yes, basically going through her latest routine that she swears
by to remove the flaky skin on her face, and
that is to apply her own feces is it face mask?
Speaker 5 (28:50):
Now?
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Can I just say do not do not do this?
Home kids or adults or anyone lasting. But we wanted
to know because we're all guilty. I'm sure I've.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Done this so many times where I loved someone online
and I'm like, well, they say it's good, I'm going
to do it. Mel is joining us? What did you do?
Mal So?
Speaker 4 (29:08):
I must have been name And at the time, Neighbors
was really popular, and there was Charlene and Scott, you know,
like Plie Minogue and Jason one of them. Yes, I
loved Kylie, but I was in love with with Jason.
A nine year old mouth thought if I looked like Kylie,
then Jason would marry me. I convinced my parents to
let me get a spiral perm because.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
And did it work.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Oh, I looked amazing for the first week, and then
you know, the brushing of it made it go frizzy,
and then all happen because it didn't quite look right.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
Yeah, they're ain't an easy haircut.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
No no, And I know I didn't marry Jason.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
So desting.
Speaker 1 (29:54):
Look at those text I used to have three piercings
on each ear and I watched an influence to do
a video on how to wash your jewelry, and I
did and then I had a severe allergic reaction to
my earrings and have never been able to do earrings ever. Again,
it's been three years. Every time I try and putoneering
in the in fiction kicks off again. Why once again
accuding retail? It's got a Nikki on hundred the hats?
(30:14):
Who did you look up to?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Niki?
Speaker 6 (30:17):
First off, that Pooh story just made me have a
little bit of stick in my mouth.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
It was a full blown rock bottom disgustedly.
Speaker 7 (30:24):
Oh no, I was, I was little. I'm just framing
the story.
Speaker 4 (30:28):
I was little.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
But was that first movie?
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Do you remember the Violet by regards?
Speaker 3 (30:33):
You know you're turning violent Violet?
Speaker 7 (30:35):
That?
Speaker 3 (30:35):
Yes, yes, she too gum and then when she was
trying the new pearl gum, she put a chewing gum
behind the stored it.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
All the time.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
A good idea at the time.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
So yes, I put my chewing gum behind my ear
And then my mom had to go tell my mom
because I couldn't get it out of the all tangled
in my hair.
Speaker 7 (30:55):
We had to cut it out.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Hold, do you know what I've beat you? You're not alone?
I reckon would have been so many people. They would
have done the exact same thing because of Violet By exactly.
She's got a lot to answer for that woman does
Maddy and PJ.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Mady and PJ the podcast from Wellington. Maddy and I
feel naked today, full blown naked.
Speaker 2 (31:24):
Oh you don't have your winning ring on?
Speaker 1 (31:26):
Yeah, And this is I haven't done this for a
long time at least. I like going for a swim
or whatever and I just pop on it out. But
the other night I had like a reaction on my
finger and I just felt like I needed to just
let my finger breathe.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
So I've taken it off and I've left my rings
at home and I feel like, I don't know, it
feels weird walking around the store, which is funny because
it's not like you've been wearing one for years.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
No, but you know, I've been wearing it since March.
And now that itself, I'm like, oh, they don't think
that I'm a solo woman.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
It's just come to the big smoke and all of
a sudden, she's free in footload and she's all got it.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
But like it just got me thinking of all the
reasons why people don't we're wedding rings, and I mean
mine is a very low level excuse for not to
be wearing one, and it's a legitimate one. It's not
like I just will want to be, you know, solo
for the night while wearing Wellington.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
Well, my husband hasn't been wearing one for the last
couple of months because he genuinely lost it. He lost it.
That's his excuse, because yes, he did lose it. But
has he done anything to replace it since? No, not
at all.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
But there are the people who work in professions where
you literally can't wear a rending ring. I mean obviously
like heavy machinery and if you're out like in quite
a physical job. But I want to know other reasons
why people don't And how long has it been since
you wore the ring?
Speaker 2 (32:47):
And at what point do you go maybe when did
the excuse become just the reality?
Speaker 1 (32:53):
Oh like one hundred of the hairs you can text
through four four eight seven? What is your valid raiser.
Speaker 2 (33:00):
For not wearing a wedding ring?
Speaker 1 (33:01):
And do you feel guilty? And do you kind of
get used to the nake? I can'd of wish that
we've gone down that tattoo roote.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
I do know a few people that have done that.
Speaker 1 (33:09):
Yeah, like where they just get their partner's name tattooed,
which is quite romant. I'd love it if I just
had my like just because I'm I'm quite a Leo
star sign.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
It's romant. It's uh, it's dangerous for lag, But yeah,
what is your valid excuse for not wearing the ring?
Speaker 1 (33:26):
Us A hundred the hats you can tax more for
eight seven we've got some help pizza up for grabs.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Many in PJ the podcast.
Speaker 1 (33:35):
We're just talking about how I feel naked today because
I we're away in Wellington for the day and I'm
not wearing my wedding ring or my engagement ring. And
the reason behind this is because I had a bit
of a skin. Don't give me the eyebrow raise actually did.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
It's just convenient that it's the night that you come
to the big city.
Speaker 1 (33:55):
I'm going out to party. I'm driving back over that
in at Tucker Hill tonight.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
I'll have you know, to be Mike Todd laugh. It's fine,
I'll keep I'll keep an eye on her, all right.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
I had like a little raggy thing on the hand
because since moving rurally, I don't know what it is,
but every winter my hands get rid, so I decided
to give it a bit of a break, but I
wanted to know on the phones. I'll wait one hundred
the hats. What's your valid raisin for not wearing your
wedding ring? Carrie's joining us? Good a Carrie good?
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Yeah, not too bad? What's what's the valid raisin?
Speaker 6 (34:26):
My husband? It's just just a ship really, he just
he says his his knuckles are too big, and of
course it just wobbles around at the excuse thirty years
we've been married this year and he doesn't wear it.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
I just think some guys don't like rings. When did it?
When did he stop wearing it?
Speaker 6 (34:45):
Oh, well, there's a big rugby game in christ Church
thirty years ago.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
We lost.
Speaker 6 (34:51):
We lost the rugby Gametigo and a lady system on
our honeymoon.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
She goes, oh, he just got married, and he goes yes,
and that was it.
Speaker 5 (35:00):
I never wanted to what he's naughty?
Speaker 1 (35:03):
Naughty, Just honestly, I don't think my husband's ever going
to wear hers. He's a big rugby playing farmer and
he's got big knuckles.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
I get it. The knuckles is a far beach. Just excuse,
he just doesn't want to wear the ring. Rebecca is
joining us, Now what about you, Beck?
Speaker 4 (35:20):
Same sort of thing.
Speaker 6 (35:21):
Actually, guys, my husband was playing rugby and he got
tackled wrong. But he'sfication of a finger.
Speaker 5 (35:27):
She can't get us ring on anymore?
Speaker 7 (35:30):
Why can't he just spirit?
Speaker 3 (35:31):
On the other hand, this is true, but I want
to think that I had to be dead.
Speaker 7 (35:36):
To do that.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
But it can genuinely be dangerous if they had quite
physical jobs.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Is he out and about?
Speaker 1 (35:44):
No? No, nice, there's no danger there at all. At
least he's typing too fast on the computer. All right,
He's got his Sophie wrap it up here. So what
was the valid reason for not wearing the ring?
Speaker 5 (36:00):
Well, me and my my husband actually secretly got a
loved so I actually work with my father. So during
the weekends, when I go back home, I get to
put it on. But during the week obviously I can't
wear it otherwise my my dad would find out.
Speaker 2 (36:17):
Sure, are you just going to take this a secret forever?
Speaker 7 (36:21):
No?
Speaker 5 (36:22):
Only for six months and then in January we'll tell everyone.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Oh god, you've given us a fake name and we haven't.
Just no, But here's my question, are you are you yes?
Speaker 4 (36:36):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (36:36):
Yes? Your name is definitely not Sophie, so definitely not
so definitely not called Sophie. Are you terrified that you're
going to forget one Monday morning to take it off?
Speaker 5 (36:49):
I almost did this weekend because he lives in the
White Cuttle, so I when I was leaving to come
back to Totong, I almost forgotten. I had to kind
of give it to him, and I made the joke.
I was like, oh, sorry, this isn't working out, and
gave him back to ring.
Speaker 1 (37:03):
Oh my god, you'd have to see me alarm on
your phone, I would genuine all day.
Speaker 2 (37:09):
I will definitely not Sophie. Thank you so much of
the call.
Speaker 5 (37:14):
No, and and just also my my husband also works
as an engineer, so he can't wear.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
His either, so he went, well, that's convenient for the
first podcast. Seas you and I are pretty agreeable most
of the times, I would say we've we've we're on
the same page on a lot of things.
Speaker 1 (37:36):
Yeah, i'd say that's that's fairly accurate.
Speaker 2 (37:39):
I reckon though. We had one of our biggest disagreements
we've had ever last week, and that was over which
type of apple was better, a red apple or a
green apple. See growing up.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
I was always red, like hands down, But I don't know,
maybe this is just a maturity thing. But more recently
I have found the green apple to be so much
more fulfilling, particularly when you're Thursday.
Speaker 2 (38:03):
It just really hits a spot. No, it's so sour
and bitter and No, there's so many better, more better
apples out there in this country. So I thought, we
can have this disagreement back and forth for as long
as we want to, But maybe we just need to
go to an expert, and there is any expert that
we can go to. His name is Brian Franch. He's
(38:27):
also affectionately referred to as the Apple List, and he
runs the official Apple rankings website. Brian joins us. Now, Hi, Brian, Hi,
how are you can?
Speaker 7 (38:38):
I just say it hurts my soul to hear of
apples described as red or green. There are so many
many varieties of apples that fall under red and green
and yellow.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
This thought there was only the Granny Smith under the green.
Speaker 7 (38:57):
Oh no, there actually is more yellow apples than there
are green apples. But there are way hundreds hundreds of
apples that are green, other than the most famous green
apple of all, the Granny.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
Smith, Brian, how did this love of apples begin? Before
we get into the nitty gritty, how did your love
of apples begin?
Speaker 7 (39:16):
Well, it's my love of apples began with a hate
of apples, because one day I went to the Score
and I bought myself a Red Delicious apple and I
bit into the thing and I said, you know what,
I don't understand how God could allow such an apple
to exist on this earth. It is a meally disgrace.
(39:36):
Cofty grinds in a leather glove.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
So what constitutes a good apple? We've got some fantastic
apples in New Zealand. Red Delicious is a very popular
apple here in New Zealand. But you're saying get rid
of it, chuck it in the bin.
Speaker 7 (39:50):
It's a sad truth. It's sad that the Red Delics
is bill the most popular apple in the world New Zealand,
I will say, is in my opinion, and this is
my expert opinion. I am the number one apple expert
in the world. New Zealand is the number one apple
country in the world that includes my home country of America.
You guys have the best apples, which is why it
(40:10):
is so sad to think of someone in your country
loving the Granny Smith. By the way, an Australian apple
made by a British expat, not even not even a
New Zealand apple. There's so many amazing New Zealand apples
that you could be showing your patriotic streak and supporting,
But instead you're jumping across the pond is going to
(40:31):
Australia and eating some grandma's discarded trank.
Speaker 1 (40:36):
How much of your daily holas dedicated to apples?
Speaker 7 (40:40):
Oh, well, including the ones when I'm asleep. I guess
I do sometimes dream of apples, but I think I
would say a good twelve hours a day. I have nothing.
You have to understand, I have no children. The Apple
rankings website is all I have. It is my legacy
when I die is all I will leave behind.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
I love it, Brian. So you are sign a page,
get rid of the Granny Smith, get in the bin
where it belongs, and get on board.
Speaker 7 (41:03):
Anything's better than a granny shit.
Speaker 1 (41:05):
Okay, okay, I just think that they're just quite hydrating,
like when you're really Thursday. I just feel like a
Granny apple hits the spot. But do you know what
You're right I'll branch out and I'll enjoy our homegrown
New Zealand apples, not ones that are from Britain or Australia.
Speaker 7 (41:20):
That warms my heart every day, and every day I
can just convert one person away from the dark grasp
of the Granny Smith, I would consider that a success.
So thank you, thank you for converting.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
Thank you Redshot, thank you Brian. We really appreciate it.
