The Hits Drive with Maddy and Paja thanks to chemistryre
House the Real House of Fragrances on that Hello everyone,
I hope you had a great weekend and welcome to
the podcast. I need to lead with an awkward introaction
I have with Maddy today when he very kindly extended
and mite to me and he said, hey, I've been

(00:23):
thinking because we've got a week holiday coming up, and
he goes, look, Ryan and I we're going to go
away to Australia, and I was thinking, like, you can.
At this point, I was like, oh my gosh, he
feels comfortable enough to invite me away on a romantic
trick with having Ryan. And I was like, oh my god,
that's so sweet, but like, I don't know if I'm

(00:44):
going to water right now. And then he goes, but
we are going away for a week, so you can
look after our house if you want, which actually is
so lovely. And I don't know why my brain bought
that you'd want me to come as a third week
across the dead.

Speaker 2 (01:01):
We would love for you to come away.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
On our.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
No. I feel so awkward for thinking that, but I
just knew, like it didn't even cross my mind, because
I was like, well, you've just been to Australia. Also,
you have a todd learner's hot not easy to just
like drop a lot of sex. But I thought to myself,
if you felt like a little week in the big smoke,
maybe you could take our house while we're away.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
They're so kind and it would make great content because
I've probably like ship up, but I'm actually going away
to stay with my brother and sister in law. So
thank you and like thank you genial.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
You're welcome. We haven't actually lockdown tripping, which is just
so par for the course for me and Ryan, like heaven' you. No,
we're so last minute with everything, but we lock it in.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
You won't regret it.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
We're thinking of going to Ularu.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
Yes, it would be stunning, honestly. Do it be spiritual experience?

Speaker 3 (01:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Really, maybe you'll have a spiritual awakening and then you
can bear my.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Team Team Woover. I will say when I have you
ever been up to Caperdy?

Speaker 4 (02:07):
Youanger?

Speaker 1 (02:08):
No, So I've been to Castle Hill though. Castle Hill, Oh,
it's like in the South Island. It's like, I mean
to be really spiritual when I was a younger, I
don't actually remember it being super like peaceful. But now
I think I would appreciate it anyway. I might be
going there on holidays too.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Is that the Christian division?

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Ah, it's like I want to say, Canterbury Castle, No,
I've got to do this, hang on Castle Hill, Yeah,
Canterbury Alpine Village, Canterbury, New Zealand. Yeah, it's just a
little beautiful spot.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
So Cape is obviously very spiritual in like Mildi culture
because that's yeah, the spirits, like that's where they say
the spirits leave.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Yeah, yeah, so they in Mardi culture they believe that
when you die, your spirit travels up to Cape younger
and then departs from there.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
I didn't know that.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah, and you know me, like, I'll roll my eyes
if anything. We were, but when I got there, there
is just something really powerful about being there, and I
kind of I mean, I'm not I'm not Mardy and
and you know, I know a little bit.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
It doesn't mean that you can't appreciate the culture.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
No, No, I know totally.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
I know.

Speaker 2 (03:20):
And it was at that moment that I went, I
totally get this. I understand why this like carries so
much weight and power. It was just like so.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Many beautiful aspects to the culture.

Speaker 2 (03:30):
Yeah, I don't know what it was, but it really
hit me and it was just beautiful. It was incredible.

Speaker 1 (03:36):
You got to do it, you got to I need
to go, I need to go.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Oh my god, didn't it does?

Speaker 1 (03:41):
It does? Don't at least talk about your party guys
from the weekend. How was the party that you freaking
didn't get home till three o'clock and you.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Run, Yeah, A mpeach, what am I doing?

Speaker 3 (03:53):
You were you?

Speaker 1 (03:54):
I knew you were pretty reluctant going into the weekend
because you knew it was going to be a big night.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah, I just I did have grand plans to just
not not go crazy. And then I don't know, this
always just happens. Like We've got a few friends around
that came around for a couple of drinks beforehand, and
that was fun. And then we went with this group
of people and then I ran into other people that
I know, and it just like eleven pm. This is

(04:20):
the first thing is the party didn't start till ten,
So we did I get we didn't get there to eleven,
and then it's you know, eleven turns to twelve, tons
to two very quickly.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
I asked if you got a feed on the way home.
You didn't even get a feed going out.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
I got hot. I did get home and I made
myself some toast though, peanut butter on toast.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Oh, that's such a worrying. I'll actually know that's probably
safe because I was gonna say, make noodles. But that's
not that's not smart. Don't drink and cook.

Speaker 2 (04:50):
No, but usually we would go through a drive through
and get something. Yeah, tell me about your weekend, make
me feel wholesome.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Yesterday I summoned bej to the bedroom. You come here,
lie on the beers and help me sort out your clothes.
We need to throw out your socks. Married live, Oh
my god, so different. But no, I just got on

(05:24):
top of stuff. We watched a lot of Rookie. It
was passing down. We were pretty much flooded in. I
made a banana cake.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
We started watching Emily in Paris last night.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Oh my god, there's a new season, is there?

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (05:37):
See, there's no way Beja will sit down and watch.

Speaker 5 (05:39):
It with it.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
It's like I saw this, I saw this cheesy. I
saw this meme today. Actually, I sent it to Ryan
and I was like This is so accurate for Emily
in Paris. Someone someone said, beyond excited that Emily and
Paris is back. I've watched every episode and have not
a single memory of last season, the names of any characters,
or anything else aside from the fact that she has
a job in Paris. It is perfect TV. May it

(06:03):
run for a thousand seasons? And that just sums it
up so perfectly, so much cat up and like.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
The artvert, it's so much and you just want to
be in fucking Europe. I think you just everyone just
watches it to escape here. Oh my god, take me,
take me back anyway. Coming out of the podcast today,
we talked about what we have, what we have? Oh when,
an admission about the environment, and something I did on

(06:30):
the weekend.

Speaker 2 (06:30):
This is such a great story. You're going to love this.
When did you find something that you'd given up on,
like you thought you'd lost it forever and then it
just made it return randomly? Yes?

Speaker 1 (06:40):
And what did you find after you'd given up? And
where was it?

Speaker 4 (06:45):
That?

Speaker 1 (06:46):
And more, including my latest edution.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Sorry, I literally just that. I just teased that, and
then you tease the exact same thing. You won't listening
to me.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
All, when did you make the sweat?

Speaker 2 (07:02):
No, I see, when did you find something that you
thought you'd lost forever?

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Oh my god, I heard that, and I was looking
at the show plan and I read when did you
make this? Oh my god. That was one of those
things where I'm listening to you, but I'm.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Reading something else in the and the text went into
your brain rather.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
Than I totally probably wasn't listening.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Probably it's time to go home, is what It's time.

Speaker 1 (07:22):
To go Time to go home. Everybody, enjoy the podcast.
I love you long time.

Speaker 3 (07:27):
Many in the podcast.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
I've been aimed up by guilt all day today met it?

Speaker 2 (07:35):
How many of your stories start with a sigh like
a deep.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
The show, I tell you what I mean it when
I say it's therapy. And every story that I tell
is just getting something off my chest.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Okay, we'll get it off your chest, babe. I'm here
for here to listen.

Speaker 1 (07:52):
Well, I have an apology to make to the environment.
And this was a genuine mistake.

Speaker 2 (07:55):
You mean, to the to the world.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, no, no, no, to Natche, to nature, to our
local environment by our home. So I was having like
an innocent, playful adventure with two year old almost sun
on Saturday morning, and we went over to the shed
and we went through the fields and we were playing
the sheep and the pubs and all that kind of stuff.

(08:20):
And then in the shed there was an old Swiss
bowl and he kept saying ball, ball, and I was like,
I really shouldn't take it outside. This is going to
get nigli, but I did, and so we sort of
started rolling the Swiss bowl through the property like chasing
this ball. And then we hit like the driveway that

(08:40):
descends quite quickly, and the ball packed up quite a
lot of memento and started running for the river.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
I see where this is going, and I was.

Speaker 1 (08:51):
Like, oh, Charlie. And so I got Charlie in my
toddler with me.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
And I'm like, oh, no, the ball, Charlie.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
And then we've got this puppy with us, because we've
got one little labrador puppy left, and I'm spreading it
and I don't make it in time. So I go
on like this mad journey where I'm trying to like run,
and it was because it was all these like swampy
areas to get to the river. So I tried my
hardest and I couldn't get the ball, and then the

(09:19):
next day there was like severe flooding and we literally
got flooded, and so it was gonna be so dangerous
to go and try and track down this rogue Swiss ball.
When I said to my husband, I was like, what
do you reckon it is? And He's like, it'll probably
be out at sea because that's where a river goes.
And I was like, oh my god, Like what if
it's prevented I don't know access to certain like river life,

(09:40):
Like what if animals have suffered because of my rogue swissful?
So my question is, if anyone sees silver floating by
God only knows where it is now, please tex wall
for eight seven, because I really would like to come
and locate it.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
I just love the idea of some fishermen out in
the harbor doing their job and then all of a sudden,
this rogue Swiss ball just floats past them.

Speaker 6 (10:07):
It is.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
It could happen like honestly, we had ravaging like river
floods is today, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's
actually gone. Rather five, anyone is a want to stee
please just make me feel a little bitter. They locate
this visible, they pick up speed. I can see how
this has happened to you, you poor things. Then I'm
not literal, guys. I love the environment. Usually I do

(10:28):
my bird, but the weekend I've failed. So yeah, any
locations of a rogue silversful, probably in the North Island,
takes four for eight seven.

Speaker 2 (10:38):
If someone finds you a swissful, we've got we've got
to put together a massive price peck for it, because
that is such exciting news if someone's found it.

Speaker 3 (10:49):
Maddy ANDPG Mady and PJ the podcast.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
Hey, you know we've talked about this before on the show,
about how in every relationship you have your kind of
designated jobs that you do.

Speaker 1 (11:05):
You are the food preparer correct at home correct, And
you are the bid maker.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
Bid maker, yes, page.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
And you are the dishwasher.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yeah, I do often do do the dishes. What the
theme you're picking up on is usually indoor.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Domestic internal chore.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
Correct. Right, does the lawns, he puts the bins out,
he trims the hedges, he does all of that kind
of stuff.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Whenever you try it backfires terribly.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
Remember I tried to use the hedge trimmer to do
the edges on the lawn.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
That's why we stick to us streets extly, and we
don't deviate exactly. When you stay where we excel.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
The saying is stay in your lane for a very
good reason. One of my jobs is just general dog maintenance.
I'm always the one that books and takes Otis to
his grooming appointments. Yeah, and he was getting ready to
have one, and I was thinking, I need to book
him in. I need to book him in, And then

(12:06):
all of a sudden, Ryan said to me last week,
I've got a photo shoot for my work on Monday,
and I would really like to use Otis and the
photo shoots would be nice if he could be groomed,
But so can you book him in?

Speaker 1 (12:18):
And I went to lavish little Dog getting photo shoots
and grooming sessions.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
I know, And so I thought, well, I'll go. I'll
just book him in and see if I can get
him in for an appointment. But it was very last minute, right,
So I went to our usual groomer and they said,
we're so sorry, we're fully booked. We can't take him.

Speaker 1 (12:35):
And is that the only groom you've ever gone to.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
The only groomer? Yeah, and so we know them. He
knows them, we know they do a good job. And
I thought, so I can either do one of two things.
I can tell Ryan I'm so sorry, I can't get
him in and you can't use him, or I try
somewhere else. And in fairness, the groomer that we've been
using is out by our old house. So it is

(12:58):
a little bit of a pain in the ass because
I have to drive them further than where we live
to take them to this particular groommate, and only because
it's the one that we've always used.

Speaker 1 (13:06):
God, you see some shocking videos online of when dog
grooming goes wrong.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
And so this is the thing. I thought, I'm gonna
I'm gonna swing for the fences, and I booked them
into a brand new groomers on Saturday.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
Did you do thorough research? Did you just go for
a cute name.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Cute name and close and close to my house? And
I pulled up and it was just like someone's house,
and I thought, oh my god, I've made a crucial era.
This lady is literally just like set up in the
bathroom and has just got the like got a like

(13:43):
cheap pair of clippers from the warehouse, and they're just
going to do them in the bathroom.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
My god, what do you do though? When you get in?

Speaker 2 (13:50):
Like I know, because I thought this, I thought, at
what point do I pull pin? So I pull up
to this house and then I realized, actually, there's lots
of signs pointing me round to the back of the house.
But then I still thought, I'm going to walk around
and she's just going to be like half hazardly set
up in the backyard or something. But I get around
and there's actually like a full arm pod separate to

(14:12):
the house that the salon is in. There was multiple
groomers there, and it looked actually very professional. But the
whole time that I had Otis there, Ryan kept sending
me photos of Otis of other dogs that have been
taken to a groom room would just be absolutely ruined.
Good news is, he's fine. They did a really nice job.
And now that this groomer is close to my house,

(14:34):
I feel like I'm going to have to break up
with my old groomer because it's so much more convenient.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
And PJ the podcast, now we've just been talking about
the big switch for his little dog, Otis. You decided
to change groomer, which is a big deal.

Speaker 2 (14:51):
Huge deal, and I rolled the really rolled the dice,
because you never know what you're going to get, and
you put your dog in the hands of these strangers
basically went well, thank god, it went fine. It went fine,
but we wondered, did you try and make the switch
at some point, whether it was a dog groom or
a heardres or anything like that, and it did not
go well.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
I just remember something years ago, so I decided to
one day chicken too. There was like, so there was
a gem opposite our work, and beside that gym, there's
like a beauty therapy place, and I decided to go
there for the first time. And I just finished work,
but I think we might have like recorded a part
of the show or something, so I didn't even think

(15:32):
about it. But I went into the store and I'm
lying down there on the bed with not much on,
did you imagine?

Speaker 2 (15:40):
And then my voice.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
Comes through the radio and I'd been talking in a
full gv accent. As soon as it came on with
me talking, I said, yeah, and so I've actually been
in the country or and I just absolutely can manage
to an English accent because I was like, she can't
know that I'm in there. She's touching me. This is
just so Tiana, and Auckland is joining us. What happened

(16:03):
with you when you made the swatch?

Speaker 6 (16:05):
Hi?

Speaker 7 (16:06):
It was my in laws. My father in law was
being a good husband and decided he would take the
dog to the Grimmar to get changed into a lion.
This was a samoid, a beautiful fluffy white samoid. It
came back with absolutely nothing on it except for a
giant fluffy head and fluffy feet.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Oh no, make a semoid before, I'm this is so cute.
Oh they're like the cute little white fluffy pups.

Speaker 7 (16:36):
Yeah, there's the big, big white fluffy ones.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
He was a big one and it just came back
with no fur. God, that would be terrifying.

Speaker 7 (16:42):
I'm gonna look up poor thing. It was so ashamed
of itself.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
I just I just got an image of what they
would look like. Did you go back? Did you go
back and request for your money back?

Speaker 7 (16:54):
He was too embarrassed.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
Wait for the he had to grow back on this dog.

Speaker 7 (17:03):
It's a long time and we gave him grief every
single day.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Have you now got a good groomer, Tiana?

Speaker 7 (17:10):
I've got three dogs that don't need grooming.

Speaker 2 (17:13):
So I'm okay, brilliant, brilliant, and if you did, the
father in law would not be trusted.

Speaker 7 (17:18):
No, no, he's not trusted with any Clippers whatsoever.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
Maddy and PJ the podcast.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
To get start the week at his time for Matty's
shot call through oh eight hundred the Hertz, and every

(17:46):
You've definitely loved after the hype.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
The thing is, I'm not I'm not claiming to have

the show, I'll know about it.

Just I'm gonna give it. Just say a random shot,
and I just want to say, if you can gets
out of the blow what it is.

Speaker 7 (21:29):
Walking said, I don't think.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
I honestly don't know. I was friends and you tried
to get a really obscure saying because many friends inside.

Speaker 3 (21:39):
Out Maddy and PJ the podcast.

Speaker 1 (21:44):
Facebook Marketplace is wonderful. You get so many cheap deals
on there, but I swear that thing is laced with
some addictive.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Substance in terms of just making you scroll and scroll, scroll.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
I hadn't gone on for so long I went I
feel like I'm going through binging phases. I have a
real on off relationship with Facebook Marketplace.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
Because I haven't been in there in so long, because
I don't really use it, So do you have to
be very specific about what you're looking for? It is
it kind of like social media where it just serves
you up random things.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
This is the problem. You go to your homepage and
it will just serve you off so much stuff, and
the thing is out of sight, out of mind, ignorance
is blissed. I don't need any of this stuff. And
if you ask me a week ago, it was not
on my radar. But now after scrolling on Facebook Marketplace,
and this has become my little thing. At night, I
have a free window. I'm on Marketplace. I don't know

(22:41):
what they put there, but it is so bloody addictive.
I all of a sudden need olive trees. I need
French Country vintage shears. I need rat and headboards for
the bedroom. You know, all of these things I absolutely
don't need. But I'm like, you know what, it's a deal.
It's so cheap. I can't get there anywhere else, and
I need to get it.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
You fain Sleep bought the bow Flecks workout machine off
an infomercial, So you are at a market plus No,
but you're you're a sucker for being like caught up
in something.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Do you know what?

Speaker 8 (23:12):
Though?

Speaker 1 (23:12):
Other friends of mine are exactly the same. And I'm like,
I've got one friend up the road who's just on
a binge at the moment. She's buying like playgrounds. There's
like furniture in the house, liked you just get once
you go down the vortex medi. I can't believe you
don't go on Facebook.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Oh God, I've just there's so.

Speaker 1 (23:29):
Much see and there's really nice stuff. Okay, let's just
be warning. Don't do it. No, don't do it. Get off.

Speaker 2 (23:37):
Should I buy the fifty dollars bird feeder?

Speaker 1 (23:42):
It's these raised garden beds and you can get them
made to order, And I thought that'd be so cute, going.

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Oh god, I'm hooked. I'm hoot. It's so dangerous.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
So you just don't. If you've never been on it,
don't get on it. Things weren't in well.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
Maddy and PJ Mady MPG the podcast.

Speaker 1 (24:05):
That I've got a little quick question and we just
need this to be a judgment for his own. I
have got a massive bottle of water in the studio
with me right now, and I also have a very
dead plant to the side of me right But the
problem is this huge bottle of water has electrolytes in it,
and I'm just wondering if I gave it a little sprinkle,

(24:28):
would it be beneficial for the plant and have the
same impact that it does on humans and actually help hydration.

Speaker 2 (24:35):
Oh, you're thinking it might actually do even better than
just feeding it normal water.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Well I don't know. I mean it could do, right,
I mean, electrolytes help with hydration and getting the fluids. Uh,
what do we think this is just going to kill
my little peace lily.

Speaker 2 (24:49):
I don't know that if it will kill it, But
I don't think it's gonna do what you're hoping it's
going to do. The plant might just be dead.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
Peage.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
No, it's not, dear, No, I no know. It's so salvageable. It
just needs a good claim. No, it just needs a
good shower like it just But do we think that
electrolytes could enhance the shower or are they just gonna
call an end to the plant's life.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
Look, I've never been I've never prepared it to be
an expert when it comes to plant life. So maybe
someone out there will know Text through four four eighth seven,
our electrolytes can do the trick. With pj's pop Plant.

Speaker 3 (25:27):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and PJ the podcast.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
So a couple of months ago, you might remember this Peage.
We had a week's break and Ryan and I went
down to to do it. That's right, she.

Speaker 1 (25:42):
Did a lot. You're in the hotel, you did the
little tree climb.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
We're mountain biking. We're doing here, there and everywhere. We're
very very busy.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
You're such active relaxes as a couple.

Speaker 2 (25:53):
Yeah, I used to be a lot better at just chilling,
but Ryan hate it. So I've gotten very used to
just get my ass out of bed first thing in
the morning and going on a lot of adventures. When
we're on it's productive. It is productive, you get things done.
And one of the things that we did was, as
you said, we went to the hot pools and then
we that was on the Wednesday morning and we left

(26:16):
immediately from not to do it and we drove to Raglan.
We had a couple of days there as well. And
while we're in Raglin, Ryan went, oh my god, I've
lost my wedding ring.

Speaker 1 (26:27):
Do you get angry at that moment? Like, I feel
like that is one of those moments you can really
kind of like fully take advantage, have a little hessy foot.

Speaker 2 (26:37):
As someone who does overreact from time to time, I
think there was a moment where I did think if
you cared more about our marriage, Yeah, yeah, maybe you
would have noticed that you weren't wearing your rent for
the last.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
But also you're very empathetic and quite caring, and I
can imagine you would have come to his aid in
that moment.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
Yeah, very much. Like that's fine, we can find it
like we can retrace our steps and so but then we,
you know, we were busy on our holiday and we
thought we'll deal with it when we get back to Auckland,
and then I kind of forgot about it, and Ryan
bliss and forgot about it as well, even though I
feel naked whenever I take it off, and I know
you do too.

Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yes, it's still currently off because I've got like the
swollen w RESHI finger.

Speaker 2 (27:21):
He just got at six. Oh yes, swelling and a rash.
But he just didn't seem to really care about it much.
He was just like, we'll deal with it. It's fine,
it's fine, it's fine. But in the end, I was like, no,
I'm going to do this. So I got on the
blower and I started calling around all these different places
that we've been to. I called the hot pools, I

(27:41):
called the tree climb, I'd called the hotel that we'd
stayed at. Wasn't to be found anywhere, and I thought, well,
it's gone, it's definitely gone. And he had kind of
resigned himself to the fact as well. And he has
no engagement ringer.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
It's not like, no, it's not engagement rings it's.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Not twenty four carrot diamond kind of no, no, no, no, no, it.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Was probably a little bit more replaceable.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
It was very replaceable, but it's still not a chape no.
And he just did it is sentimental exactly, and he
was just not putting no effort into replacing this thing whatsoever.
So I thought I beat you. It wouldn't be surprised
me if in thirty years time Ryan still didn't have
a replacement ring. And we just kind of moved on
from the fact. Well, lo and behold Sunday morning, Ryan's

(28:25):
car bless him as a bit of a mess, much
like yours as well with soulmates.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
I knew, I knew woul get along.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
And he went to get something out of the back
seat and it had fallen under the under the passenger seat,
this thing that he went to get. So we reached
his hand underneath, and god, you know, like you can
find anything down there? Yes, Well, what does he pick
up his bloody wedding ring? Two months and so much dirt,
so much dirt.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
What was he started or was he like trying to
flat it down?

Speaker 2 (28:55):
No, he was pretty he was stoked. I was thrilled
he will lose it again. I have no doubt in
my mind, but it's back for now. It just was
not where we expected to find it.

Speaker 3 (29:08):
Maddy and PJ. Maddy and PJ the podcast.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
My Bless Him. My husband lost his wedding ring a
few months ago, and we honestly thought it was gone forever.
We'd given up hope. We'd chased well, I had chased it.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Ryan had kind of one was definitely more elemants. I
was locating the rest.

Speaker 2 (29:28):
I was more committed to the course. And then, funnily enough,
he was just cleaning out his car over the weekend
and he found it underneath the passenger seat.

Speaker 1 (29:38):
It's always when you're not looking for things, I know,
things pop up. Isn't that a lesson in life?

Speaker 3 (29:43):
You know?

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Truly, the least you push it, the more you'll feel it.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
Profound. That's so profound. Page, well done. I love it.
Fell is joining us? Fell?

Speaker 1 (29:57):
What did you think of God messing forever? But that
you found it?

Speaker 4 (30:00):
Why? What did you ring? As well?

Speaker 1 (30:02):
Where was it? How long had it been gone missing?

Speaker 3 (30:05):
Well?

Speaker 4 (30:05):
I missed for a few months, and my board a replacement,
and we have done him with quite a big backyard.
So I was outmarring the lawn one day and the
dog he was lying down with his knees underneath clementary.
So I caught him and he wouldn't come. So I
caught him again and hen't come. So I wanted to
go over there to see what he was looking at.
Two inches from his nose.

Speaker 1 (30:29):
Amazing.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
You might you must have been doing some gardening or
something where you feel.

Speaker 4 (30:35):
I don't know what I was doing, but yeah, I
don't know. I don't know how I got there, but yeah,
my dog went over there and looked at it, looked
at the.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Yeah, at least now you've got a spear for the
next time you inevitably lose it. The dog. The dog
got you out of the dog. Yes, lovely, alright, he's got.

Speaker 1 (30:55):
It, Tania, all right, hundred of the hats, Tanya, what
did you think you'd last forever?

Speaker 5 (31:00):
Hi? Well, this was about thirty years ago now. My
aunt had a bone carving tongue made for my twenty
first birthday and I was living in Wellington at the
time and flatting with a friend who had a baby.
But one night had been out after work for drinks
and I caught the train home and then got a
cab and it had fallen off the rope that was

(31:24):
around my neck, and I had ran a cab company.
I was looking for it everywhere. I couldn't find it.
On six months later, I went to pick the baby
up from a sleep and it was lying in his
cot really woo woo, like my guardian name brought it
back to me.

Speaker 3 (31:43):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
So are you adamant you lost it in the cab?

Speaker 5 (31:47):
Absolutely, because I just had the rope necklaced part of
it and didn't have the bone carving on it.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
You hear a lot of stories like that.

Speaker 5 (31:57):
That house was a little bit haunted.

Speaker 2 (32:00):
Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
Okay, Tyn, you're waking him chance all night, but I
can see it rolling his eyes. We're gonna be one
of the next color. Thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
You're getting in touch.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
Let's go to Aaron. It does have him met it again?
What did you lose? What did.

Speaker 3 (32:17):
Ah?

Speaker 2 (32:17):
Did he not care either?

Speaker 3 (32:19):
Ear in he didn't care.

Speaker 8 (32:21):
He wasn't that concerned.

Speaker 7 (32:22):
I'm going where did you take it off?

Speaker 8 (32:23):
Honestly, where did you take it off? And then he
wasn't too faced about it. And then we shifted and
I had to bring the big freezer through and I
decided to imp in they cleaned out the freezer and
two years later I found that weaving band.

Speaker 2 (32:38):
In the freezer. Laddie, Hell, he's been tormenta meme Aaron,
what are they like?

Speaker 8 (32:46):
The biggest roast he could find on me?

Speaker 9 (32:51):
The podcast The People's Poll, The People's Poll. Everybody comes together.
It's the People's Poll.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
In the meantime at a time for the People's Pole.
We do this every day on the show, and today
was inspired by some statistics that dropped.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah, this is all about how you eat your takeaways.
We got some research through from door Dash who said
that there's a bunch of things they sent through. First
of all, forty eight percent of New Zealanders opt to
eat their dinner straight from the takeaway container. Fifty two
percent will use their own dishes and cutlery.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
I do get it for like eliminating having to do dishes.
I know, but I can't know. It's got to go on,
it's got to go on the bowl.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
I agree. It makes you feel a little bit more civilized,
Like it makes you feel better about the fact that
you've gone and gotten takeaways. Right.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
Yeah, if I'm feeling really sorry for myself when I'm
a bit hung dog Millienaire on a Sunday morning, maybe
you'll see me eating straight out the container, but usually
I would go into the bowl. Look play.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
Okay, well what about this one. This is the stat
that we hooked onto today that we want to touch
on for People's pole. Almost one in four So that's
twenty three percent of gens z Kiwi's. So those are
our slightly younger counterparts. Peage admit to eating takeaways in beers.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
Yeah, I get that, and I did that when I
was younger.

Speaker 2 (34:17):
Absolutely something that I really I would always keep myself up.
I'd edit on the couch. Absolutely eat it on the couch.

Speaker 1 (34:25):
You're gonna it's the equivalent of Rob Bottom. I just
think as hereas like guys, I do this every week.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
I'm a very messy eater and I hate getting like that.
It will be more annoying for me to have to
clean my sheets if I drop something on them, then
it would be to get out of bed and eat
my takeaways in the living room.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
Your bed needs to be a sacred space, and you
can't have a sacred space with crumbs.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
And pizza toss.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
No.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
So this is the question we want to ask on
the People's poll today, do you eat your takeaways in bed?
Yes or no?

Speaker 1 (35:04):
I'm going to say at least eighty percent will be no.
Straight out of the gates, this audience are an eighty
percent no, maybe a solid twenty being feral.

Speaker 2 (35:15):
Give us your reasoning as well, but let us know
on the text machine four four eight seven, yes or no?
Eating takeaways in bed?

Speaker 1 (35:21):
All right, we'll come back and reveal the results next.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
Many in PJ the podcast, the People's.

Speaker 9 (35:28):
Pole, the People's Poll, everybody comes together.

Speaker 3 (35:31):
It's the People's Pole.

Speaker 1 (35:33):
Today's question other People's pole. Do you eat your takeaway
in your bed?

Speaker 6 (35:38):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (35:38):
Yes or no?

Speaker 1 (35:39):
On the text machine four four eight seven.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
Some new stats came in from dow Dash that said
that about twenty three percent one in four gen zs
happily eat their takeaways in bed.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
I actually think, now I reflect on that statistic, I
would actually think it would be more same gen zs
they live in the bed.

Speaker 2 (35:58):
Agreed like teenage, just an early twenty year old. Surely
they they love to eat the takeaways in bed.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
I don't know. Anyway, we got you to text in
to four for eight seven. We've got about a seventy
five percent rate coming through saying yes they do eat
new beds.

Speaker 2 (36:16):
Yeah, people said yes to takeaways and bed then the
kids don't see someone that's a good one. I do
eat takeaways and bed, usually on top with a huge
towel down for if I do drop anything. I love
to have movie nights in bed with snacks.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
What would you draw the line? Or I know you
don't even do it anyway, but what about okay, producer serah,
let's get her on, because you are a frequent bed eater,
what would why would you draw the line?

Speaker 2 (36:42):
Like would you You wouldn't do it any You wouldn't
do you wouldn't do a butter of.

Speaker 4 (36:46):
Check in it.

Speaker 6 (36:47):
You know what I would and I have. What I
do is I have it in a bowl on a
plate and then I put a little tea towel on
my pillow, on my lap, and then there's all the
bases covered. If it's gonna spill.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
Well, I just think there's too there's too much here
for I want to.

Speaker 6 (37:01):
Fly down and watch TV in my room and eat
my dinner.

Speaker 2 (37:03):
Can't you just do it?

Speaker 1 (37:04):
You cannot lie down and eat at the same time.

Speaker 6 (37:07):
Like I mean, surely you're done. Like kind of propped up.

Speaker 2 (37:09):
Yeah, well, we asked this question on Instagram, and because
you thought it would be like eighty percent saying no, honest,
dominate the hits drive, it is fifty five percent say no,
forty five percent absolutely no problem.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
Maybe we were a little bit judgment phil. I mean,
the old me absolutely wouldn't even blink an island. Maybe
it's just because I'm not that cold and young enough anymore.
To be fair, don't have much access to take aways
in the middle of Noia, but maybe if we did,
it would be a different story.

Speaker 3 (37:40):
Of many in the podcast.

Speaker 2 (37:44):
That Miss Haven producing.

Speaker 1 (37:49):
Here is in the studio. How is your weekend, Serra Good?

Speaker 6 (37:52):
I went to my first All Blacks game?

Speaker 3 (37:54):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (37:54):
Did you love it?

Speaker 9 (37:55):
I did?

Speaker 6 (37:56):
They got a window, yeah, and they were like coming
for the ball right near me, the try line, try line.

Speaker 2 (38:03):
Right nice Now, don't ask many.

Speaker 1 (38:08):
Training a r whose I actually not?

Speaker 6 (38:11):
Just believe that it was in front of my eyes.
I was like, this is clearer than the TV. It
was crazy.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's cool. She's amazing. All right, now
you're in the studio to deliver some topics. We can
only say it or mess. What have you got for us?

Speaker 6 (38:23):
Okay, based on all the rain that's been around the
country at the moment. My first one is using the
fastest speed on your window wipers.

Speaker 1 (38:32):
Mess, and my husband hates it. He's like, you can
tune it down. Yeah, no, it's torrential, and he's like,
you don't need it that far.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
I find it.

Speaker 6 (38:42):
It's embarrassing sometimes I find it.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
Although sometimes sometimes I'm a little two lex and I'll
use the like slowest, like they're not even full time going.

Speaker 6 (38:55):
Yeah, and then you can't see.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
And then I can't see.

Speaker 1 (38:59):
For ages I was missing, like the cushion underneath it.
So I'll make this punishing screech every time. It would work,
but I got that fact.

Speaker 6 (39:08):
Next one, all right, Changing your allegiance to a celebrity
once they get called out in the.

Speaker 10 (39:13):
Press, oh mess, Sometimes depending depending on the circumstances, Like
I hate canceled I hate a lot of cancel culture.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
It's really unfair. But I think when things are brought
to light and then you do learn more and then
you're like, oh, hang about I didn't know that, then yeah,
absolutely I could. I could change allegiance.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
It's hard because there's a lot of bad press about
Blake lively.

Speaker 6 (39:39):
That's what I'm struggling bringing down Swifty fans and people
are saying, well, she's best friends with Taylor. It's a
secretly what Taylor's like if the stuff about Blake is true,
Like you know.

Speaker 1 (39:52):
Sorry, sorry, sorry, I've been sucked until the s Yeah,
it gets me, It gets really missy.

Speaker 6 (40:02):
Last one sharing gym equipment with a stranger next to
you when you're doing a group of.

Speaker 2 (40:07):
Class mess mess.

Speaker 1 (40:12):
I think I did it the other day. Yeah, Like
we were doing like a circuit and we had weights. Well,
she was on my team. Did you say I made
it that day? I met it that day and.

Speaker 6 (40:24):
We had did you agree to share it or does
she grab them for I was.

Speaker 1 (40:30):
Like you go, I go. And so she'd do some
of the works and then.

Speaker 6 (40:33):
Oh, that's a bit different if you're kind of doing
a circuit together. I was next to this man who
came into pilates halfway through the session and gemins and
then he there was all these spots in the room
and he lay right next to me, like right in
my personal space, and then he grabbed halfway through my
little soft thing that you put your head on when
you're doing some of the light lying on the and

(40:54):
then he put it back. And then the guy was
like grab your head thing and I was like, I
am not grabbing that that and just use so I
just wanted to check if it was no, no, no,
no no no.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
If it was on your mat, no, I would spray
the peep out of that.

Speaker 2 (41:08):
Yes, get rid of it.
