Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Hits Drive with Maddy and PJ thanks to chimis
Wee House the real House of Fragrances on that? Oh no,
so I'm on like a marketplace bench.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Whoa, no, hang on?

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Hang on, so let's kind of market place down. No,
there's there's okay. I went to the hospice shop because
I was walking. I know that sounds kind of grim,
but it's not. It's like a nice op shop yet.
And I was walking past and there was this really
cool chair and I was like, shit, that's cool, and
I thought I got it for a steal, right, And

(00:37):
then I told our neighbor about it.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
And was like, oh, I love them.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
And then she just misses me a photo of on
a marketplace for a hundred bucks cheaper, not actually nearly
one hundred and fifty bucks cheaper.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
You bought it from the hospice shop. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
I brought it from the hospital shop thinking it was
quite a bargain, and so I spent like one Actually maybe,
wasn't it fun? I was doing one hundred and ninety
five on her and she just saw one on marketplace
for fifty exactly this night.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Hey, you got to stop this, But that's the heart
that's the hard That's like, that's the hard thing, right,
because you felt like you had a bargain until your
free message you this, So just pretend that you never
saw the message and maintain that feeling of you got
a bargain because you felt good.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Maybe and maybe when buying it a hospital shop, money
goes towards good things, so.

Speaker 2 (01:31):
Yep, you know, yep, I don't know where it goes.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
There, So there we go. Actually, I'm looking at this one.
She's seen it's a bit shitter, and.

Speaker 2 (01:42):
Yeah you've got a you've got a good quality one.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
But anyway, enough about my market place antics. What's going
on with you?

Speaker 3 (01:49):
How was last night? Did you get loose?

Speaker 4 (01:52):
No?

Speaker 3 (01:52):
What time did you get home?

Speaker 2 (01:53):
No, we had a very chill one last night. I
did have a couple of drinks up the mountain though,
we went up currenty.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
Something about drinking up the mountain.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
The headless like a spiced ginger beer. Oh yeah, it
was like an alcoholic ginger beer. Like, yeah, it was
really good, was it? Yeah? Really good?

Speaker 1 (02:15):
Didn't you get the kit early? So did you end
up having one too many spice RUMs?

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Yes? Except Ryan was driving so he only had one.
But I had a few. It was like once when
we got up there, it was such a beautiful afternoon.
It was so nice that someone shining and there were
so many people out. I kind of wish i'd gone skiing.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
I was gonna say, do you wish he did?

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Yeah? The thing is Ryan doesn't ski, and so I
kind of thought, well, I'm not going to just like
leave him to see it by himself. But I think
I might have got him across the line. Like I
think because he's been saying we've been together for almost
eight years, and the whole time he's been like, I
don't want to scout, I want to scare cuby bothered.
And yesterday we were sitting there and he was like,
maybe I could ski like watching people go down the mountain.

(02:57):
He kind of has flipped, so I might going across
the lines.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
Hey, so you won this.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
You guys won this when you went to a party
and all, yeah, accommodation party.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
What else do you get in the produce like.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Food and beverage?

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Really?

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (03:15):
So when you go to dinner tonight, that's on them.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah, Oh so what is it a bit awkward?

Speaker 5 (03:23):
Though?

Speaker 3 (03:23):
They say they shout dinner, do you like, do you
get one man.

Speaker 2 (03:27):
They've given us, They've given us a specific amount to
spend over the whole time, and then we just like
get reimbursed.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Oh my god, that's amazing.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
So many good places to eat, and but are you
going to feel like you're limiting yourself?

Speaker 2 (03:44):
Well, Like I don't know if they were meaning like
go up for one dinner and then just send us
the receipt. But I've been like collecting receipts from everything.
We've got, like two coffees, a yere I've got, they've
got the receipt, like lunch today. Got the receipt.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
They've given you an overall amount, and it's within that amount,
you should be fine, right, yeah, because you know everyone's
been what I was just gonna.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Say, should we talk about what I did this afternoon?

Speaker 6 (04:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (04:08):
Are you gonna are you gonna take it back?

Speaker 2 (04:10):
I don't want to take it back. So I really
felt like a drink, like really really felt like just
a cheeky little.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
You're in Queenstown, you're gonna have a little bit.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
And so I said it earlier. Do you think they
would let me take it away from the pub down stairs?
Like literally dun stairs from the building. Do you think
they'd let me take it away? I don't know that
they would, So.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
I said take a cape cup or something that you
could camouflage the boson.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
So I just went and ordered the beer.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
You guys got to wrap it up. I'm sorry. Oh,
I've gotta go.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
We gotta go.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Anyway, he's stolen the glass from a pub right there
in a headlinings in here.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 1 (04:47):
We talk about can you move a birthday party for
your convenience? And when did you make an offer to
a friend and they actually took it up?

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Took you up on it. Enjoy the podcast everyone.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Bye the podcast, mate, It's so nice to see you.
How did you go Yesterday's playing solo?

Speaker 1 (05:08):
Well, Alpha Quiz was a real highlight when I was
reading the questions and when I read the questions, I
actually started by reading the answer first.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
One occasions.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
So yeah, it's really nice to have all things normal
resumed today.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
A little bit of professionalism back on the show. Right, questionable,
very questionable. No, But I am in Queenstown and we've
had such a beautiful time. This is home for me,
so anytime I get to come home to Queenstown is
so so nice. And immediately you start walking through town.
I don't know if this is like you and you
go home peage, but you would immediately start going through

(05:47):
town and you spot so many people that you know I.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
Saw, yes, like from high school and you haven't seen
them give.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
And parents of people that I went to high school
with as well, and you start calling them like mister
and missus.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
He's going back to your high school self. Oh my god,
that's so true.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
So now we're in Queenstwn and we went up to
this night skiing party up Coronet Peak last night. And
I mentioned earlier Katie Bell was performing. There were a
few other singers performing up there. It's so busy night
skin is so cool.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
I don't trust myself to ski at night, like it's
a bit of a liability me in the daytime. But
I'm just worried, like do you have a head torch
on your head? Like, how does it work? Well, they
just light up the whole mountain.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
They light up the whole mountain, and you don't go like,
you don't go off peace, Let you stick to stick
to the main runs.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
You know, maybe I could give it a go there.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah, but I went up there with my husband Ryan,
and I love documenting things for social media. Ryan does
not love it, and so I have to pick my
moments to get photos because he's not someone that is
happy to just post for a photo all the time.
But he appreciates a good setup of a photo. If

(07:00):
the background is looking really nice, if the lighting's really good,
then I can kind of get them on the technical
aspect of how nice the photo will look, regardless.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Of pushing all of like the ego and like how
good you look aside if he can just appreciate a
picturesque landscape exactly.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
So we were up the mountain and Upcurrenty Peak, beautiful
view over Queenstown. You can see the remarkables from there,
the lake everything. So I thought, here we go. This
is a great opportunity for me to get a photo
with Ryan. So I asked this girl. And here's the
thing about getting a photo from a stranger. Do you
do you really study people before you ask them if

(07:39):
they can take a photo?

Speaker 3 (07:40):
No, I just asked the first person.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
I say no, no, no, no, no no, no. Peage,
You've got to you've got to look out for the
person that you think can actually utilize a camera. Because
you don't want to last.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
Wise, this should be a bit of a vetting system, shouldn't.

Speaker 2 (07:52):
They Yes, But then you're kind of putting your own
bias onto it because you're thinking, who looks like they
might be Yeah, that's true, it's true. I spotted this
woman who would have been maybe late twenties, and I thought, well,
this check looks like she knows how to use a camera.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
She'd be savy on the socials.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
Nah, she took She took two photos for me. One
of them was off center, the other one was bluery.
And I thought, if you were go, if someone has
gone out of their way to ask you to take
a photo for them, the beast you can do is
at least take a few good options.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
Because usually in that situation, if someone asked me to
do that, oh, make sure I take it over.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
And I go, do you like this? Is that good?

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Totally? Yeah? And I go, I'm going to take a
whole heap to just stay there. I'm going to get
different angles. I'm going up high, I'm doing portrait, I'm
doing landscape, I'm coming back, I'm doing all sorts. I'll
put it onto portrait mode on your phone so you
can get like blue out the background a little bit.
I'm giving you so many options.

Speaker 3 (08:46):
She just skeed off.

Speaker 2 (08:47):
She was like, she was like, I'm going to see
Kayley Bell. I don't care about your photo. And so
neither of us got our way. Ryan didn't get the
nice background and I didn't get a good photo of
the two of us. So I'm still still on the hunt.
I'm still on the hunt for a good the tour
Mady and PJ.

Speaker 4 (09:05):
Mady and PJ the podcast.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
So exciting weekend this weekend because i feel like since
I've been on the show, I've forever have been saying
my toddler, who's nearly two.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
You actually have been talking about this for a really really.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
I feel like he's perpetually been in this age of
like eighteen months to two years old. But finally my
big blues growing up. And Charlie turns to this weekend.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
How are you feeling about that?

Speaker 7 (09:34):
Um?

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Good?

Speaker 2 (09:35):
Good?

Speaker 1 (09:36):
I mean god, it's crazy, like everyone always sees like
really time flies, and it does. It goes so quickly
in terms of organization. You know me, Yes, I'm a
scared of friends at the best of times, but I've
I've got like a loose plan, and I've got my
mother in law who's popped on for the weekend and

(09:56):
she's amazing.

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Can we, like, are we allowed to hire producer Serra
outside of office outs because I feel like we need
someone in our lives to do the things that she
does for us every day on the show.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
Would say I would love a full time producer truly.
Here is my question.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Many so Charlie turns too on Saturday, but we have
and we're not having like a big thing or anything,
but we're just having a little shin dig with some
locals and family on the Sunday because Bjay is away
playing rugby on the Saturday.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Is it still the is too still the age where
the parties are more about the parents than they are
about the kids, or is it really like, is Charlie
aware that it's his birthday this weekend?

Speaker 3 (10:40):
Is still it's dicey?

Speaker 1 (10:41):
He doesn't know what date it is, you know, like
he's definitely getting the grasp of things more.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
He knows what cake is now and.

Speaker 1 (10:47):
He knows like, you know, he knows parts, but he
still doesn't fully understand.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
And so this is my question, shit.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Like, is it wrong if we just completely shift his
birthday to the Sunday.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
Do we still need to celebrate on the Saturday?

Speaker 6 (11:03):
Right?

Speaker 2 (11:03):
So official birthday this Saturday? Past, Yeah, Sunday.

Speaker 3 (11:07):
And isn't it just so confusing if I do it
over two days?

Speaker 8 (11:12):
Well?

Speaker 2 (11:13):
Because if you're if you're singing happy birthday to him
on the Saturday and then singing Happy Birthday to him
on the Sunday. Although then as.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
The president that all birthdays will be, like you know,
a multiple day affair.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Which, to be fair in your life, they are loves
and birthday week does pja.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
But let's stop that at mum, you know what I mean?
Is it wrong? And maybe, oh waite hundred that has
you've had to do this?

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Have you shifted your child, your very young child's birthday
because you know it just suited the family better.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
The problem is, though, at what age do you stop
doing that? Because maybe you get to an age where
you're still doing it and then you're stuck with a
brand new birthday for your kid that you never meant
to have.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
I feel like this could only I feel like this
will be the last year.

Speaker 3 (12:01):
We could probably get away with it.

Speaker 1 (12:02):
Maybe next year, but then he'll start catching on, like
I think I think this year, maybe we do just
do it Sunday, But then moving forward, I'm probably gonna
just be honest or else I feel like I'm lying
to my son.

Speaker 3 (12:16):
But there's no I mean, he doesn't know any being there.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Do you know what I mean? I know what you mean.
I know what you mean.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
Okay, so I'll wait one hundred hats. Maybe you've been
in a similar situation. Have you moved your kid's birthday
for convenience?

Speaker 3 (12:27):
Get in touch.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
We've got some help Peaks of arches up for grabs,
and you can text war for eight.

Speaker 4 (12:31):
Seven many in the podcast.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
Once again, I am posing my dilemmas to the radio.

Speaker 3 (12:41):
This weekend is our son's second birthday.

Speaker 1 (12:44):
The birthday is on the Saturday, but the hobby is
away playing rugby, so we're having a.

Speaker 3 (12:50):
Little party on the Sunday.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
And my question is do I just shift the whole
party to I mean, his whole birthday to Sunday or
else it's just too confusing to celebrate both days.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Have you done this?

Speaker 1 (13:02):
Have you shifted your child's birthday out of convenience?

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Lots of people have on the text machine, but often
it's because their birthdays are over the kind of Christmas
New Year period. So someone said, my two year old's
birthdays twenty seventh of December, terrile times. Everyone's away. So
from now on, I'm going to have his parties at
the end of November instead. Then we can just have
a small celebration on his actual birthday.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
All right, Len's weighing in on right, hundred the hats.
What are your thoughts, Lenn? Is this okay today?

Speaker 4 (13:32):
No?

Speaker 7 (13:33):
Not at all? What Because that's the day that he
was born. So whether your partner or husband is away
or not, on the actual day of his birthday, which
is Saturday, you should have a small celebration for him,
even if you say, you know, what do you want
to do, even if you give him a cupcake, balloons
or whatever, just because you're acknowledging his second year of

(13:57):
being alive, and Sunday is party day, you know, for
family and who in the house wants to come along,
And so it's like if you shifted the celebration of
your wedding anniversary or you're twenty first away from the
actual day that the event happened.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
Now I'm thinking, Page, this is a very dangerous question
for you to ask because all it's going to do
is give you massive mumkill.

Speaker 1 (14:22):
I've got such She's like little cupcake.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
I mean I just didn't know. I mean sort of
remember is it just too much? Just too confusing?

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Okay, let's see what the other fine say. Maria is
joining us time Maria.

Speaker 6 (14:36):
Hi, I was like, no, why, I've been in your
boat and I have lefted the birthday when they're young,
when they go boat, and I reckon, it's totally.

Speaker 5 (14:50):
Fine the club, but what's the we go when we're young.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
Maria watched the watch the cutoff age though, and what
age can you go? Okay, I can't really do this.

Speaker 6 (15:08):
My daughter was three and was going to be overseas
for her birthday, so we pulled it at four days
and we got daycare on boards.

Speaker 7 (15:17):
So on the new.

Speaker 6 (15:19):
Birthday we said happy birthday in the morning, we took
a cake today yere, and we had presents and a
special little thing on that day. And then the next
day they had flew to Australia and a couple of
days it was through her birthday and we just pretended
it was an awkay okay, yeah, okay. A couple of
years when when there's more awareness and they start to

(15:40):
know numbers and stuff. Yeah, that's we can't really do
it anymore.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Thank you for welighing on under the hat so the
guilt is still embedded after that first goal.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
Let's go and wrap it up with Jan.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Under the hats, Jan, what are your thoughts?

Speaker 9 (15:56):
A bit of everything? Oh god, okay, does he understand
the concept of time.

Speaker 6 (16:02):
At the moment?

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Not really?

Speaker 4 (16:04):
No?

Speaker 9 (16:05):
No, tell him on Saturday you and do something special,
like to match McDonald's or a little treat and say
happy birthday today. Make sure your husband says heavy Birthday
to him, and saying, after one big sleep you'll have
your birthday party and cake.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
To be honest, I'm actually sort of swaying towards us
a bit, more like I feel like I do need
to do something on Saturday.

Speaker 9 (16:29):
If I've got to change the birthday day, I always
the party, shall I say? I always do something special
with them on the day of their birthday and tell
them their party is then one or two big sleeps.

Speaker 2 (16:42):
Yeah, okay, I mean you you can't hide a secret
at the beast of times. The idea of you actually
getting through a full day without saying to Charlie it
was never going to happen anyway.

Speaker 3 (16:54):
We're going to have two full on parties, I can say.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
And PJ Mady and PJ the podcast the heads.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
I feel like we haven't had a strange airplane story
in a while, you know how Like there was like
a real flurry for a phase, and there was just
so many stories about all of these horrible things happening
on flights, just putting everyone off going flight.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
I know there was there was one day where there
was like a couple of emergency landings and a bunch
of planes had to be turned around. I remember that well.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
I just threw headline coming out of Melboyne's Day and
a passenger has been a rested, so he opened the
emergency exit of a plane before going down the emergency slide.
This flight from Sydney, he just landed at Melbourne Airport
and apparently the guy just got up while the plane
was still moving, attempted to exit his row or the

(17:45):
air hostesses kept telling him to just sit down, sit down,
and he as soon as the plane had started coming
to a stop, he immediately got up basically charged to
where the emergency exit row was and in the process
shoved people away cause a whole lot of commotion and
everyone's freaking.

Speaker 3 (18:01):
Out, like really bizarre behavior.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
But you know, when you're in a plane, everything just
seems intensified as well.

Speaker 2 (18:08):
Completely absolutely, I mean it's pretty terrifying.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
I mean, luckily it was.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
You know, they were on the time, but that's still
moving and this guy is just getting up and you're like,
oh my god. So anyway, he has been now arrested
and taken to hospital for assessment.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
But look, I'm not I'm absolutely not advocating for that,
but you've got to be honest, it would be quite
fun to slide down the emergency slide.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
We're going to say, they don't take too long to
let you out at the back.

Speaker 3 (18:34):
You would be that guy.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
Going, come on, guy's a good guy.

Speaker 5 (18:39):
Man.

Speaker 4 (18:41):
The podcast are you.

Speaker 2 (18:48):
All right?

Speaker 1 (18:49):
This week we are on the hunt for chefs of
New Zealand, all four chefs. I'll wait one hundred of
the hats. All you need to do is call up
and tell us you're a chef or not, and we
have to work out if you're lying, do you have
the credibility behind your story.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
Now here's the thing, because people have gotten so good
at lying to us on the show. In this segment,
we fall for her all the time. But so good
are theyt lying? And so eager are they to lie
that today we heard they were even reluctant to tell
producer Serah whether they were a chief or not because
they didn't want her to do median pig, do median pig.

(19:28):
You would never see her, you would never know.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
And I say to them, I go, hey, this is
just an off air off air.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
This is a producer he off air, tell me, And
they go, I'm not telling you.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
Okay, let's start off in Hamilton with Pet. Welcome to
the show.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
Oh man, how are you Pat?

Speaker 9 (19:47):
You going not too bad though?

Speaker 3 (19:50):
Now you're a chef, Pet.

Speaker 6 (19:52):
Yes I am.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
I don't know if you can hear everything around me,
but it's a bit noisy at the moment, picture of rus.
What have you got? I'm in front of the deep
fryer right now? Oh okay, what are you cooking? What
are you cooking?

Speaker 6 (20:09):
Out?

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Pants?

Speaker 8 (20:10):
Just a bunch of chips and some onion rings.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
Yeah right, okay, a couple.

Speaker 7 (20:14):
Of tables to serve, are you?

Speaker 1 (20:17):
I don't know if it feels quite it feels quite
straight out the gates, but has he just gone a
full like myth a actor.

Speaker 2 (20:26):

Speaker 2 (23:21):
It's not our week this week. If you have another week,
If you have a perfessian that you want us to
do next time, take them through the four four eight seven?
What was in the water this many in the podcast.
I like to think of myself as a pretty good friend,
Like I'm the first and foremost summer people pleaser, So

(23:43):
I do aim to I aim to be a good friend.
As much as possible.

Speaker 3 (23:48):
You actually are.

Speaker 1 (23:48):
You're such a sweetheart, and I've seen you firsthand when
people have dilemmas, you go above and beyond to solve.
I feel like you're a real solver, a real problem solver,
and you'd like to have solutions.

Speaker 2 (24:00):
Yeah, I do. I do. I mean, I'm hot miss
in my own life, but I do want to try
and prom solve for other people. And I was talking
to a friend the other day and they see that
they have to kind of unexpectedly move out of the
air flat. Oh stressful, really stressful, right, And I just, yeah,
it was. I felt so sorry for him, and we

(24:21):
were talking and before I even knew it, I was
offering up our spare room.

Speaker 1 (24:27):
Ah, so we're just going to say, you offered to
help move. You offered an ectile room in your house.

Speaker 2 (24:34):
Not full time, but I just said, hey, if you
need a helping hand, like in between flats, we've got
a spare room, feel like, help yourself. And I said
it most immediately. I was like, Visibal, I have not
cheated with my husband, that this is okay. Second of all,
we've gotten so used to not having flatmates that the
idea of actually having having a flat mate again would
just be potential night me yet, because I'm just so

(24:56):
used to having my own space. We like, we don't
an on suite, so we from our bedroom to the bathroom,
we like, we have to walk through the corridor and
willy nilly, literally willy.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
Nilly, so you'd be quite close. You're being quite close
close proximity is what you're saying.

Speaker 2 (25:15):
Well, we're done. We're a two bedroom house, so we've
got our bedroom and then a spear bedroom, so it's
it's like tight quarters at the best of times, just
with me and my husband and a dog. And then
if we add a third, you know, it's getting quite cozy.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
And what did what did the friends say when you
made the offer?

Speaker 2 (25:35):
So you know, because this is the thing, you often
make these offers and you don't actually ever expect them
to take you up on it. But he said, he
said to me, that actually could be really handy. Thank
you so much. Shit, I've got to follow through.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
You, don't you do? If you're actually a good friend
of the U care not back down now?

Speaker 2 (26:02):
No, you're in it.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
But the thing is, how long would you constitute a
temporary stay?

Speaker 2 (26:08):
This is the thing I'm thinking week max and a
week is generous, right.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
I think a week is good. I think the week
is good. But you've got to be ready.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
You cannot back down now now that you've put that
offer out there, like, if you're.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
Going to be true to your words, you've got to
go through with it.

Speaker 2 (26:23):
McLean, I know, but I really thought that this was
just one of these things where I could come across
as the good guy by offering it, but not actually
have to come to the party, you know, with a result.

Speaker 1 (26:34):
Well, oh wait, hundred the hats, Maybe you can learn
from others. When did you offer something to a mate
not thinking they'd take it off, and then they actually
took you off on it?

Speaker 2 (26:46):
What was it?

Speaker 3 (26:47):
Oh wait, hundred the hats.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
You said something to be nice, but you didn't think
your friend would actually go through with it, and then
they did and it backfired.

Speaker 3 (26:55):
What was the kind act that you offered?

Speaker 4 (26:58):
Many the podcast.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
And Mary, the good mate that he is, has just
gone above and beyond and extended his kindness to a
mate who unfortunately had to move out of their place
and said, hey, if you get stuck, just come and
stay it out.

Speaker 2 (27:14):
Stay come, stay And I said it being kind and
now I feel like he might take me up on
the offer.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
Now, the logistics of the whole situation, so we wanted
to know.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
When did you extend your kindness to a friend and
they actually took you up on the offer? Oh, eight
hundred the hats you can text us four four eight seven.
Mari Anne is joining us. What happened with you?

Speaker 3 (27:38):
Mary Anne?

Speaker 8 (27:40):
I had a girlfriend, this was going back a long time.
Had a girlfriend who was buying a car. She was
a little bit short of money, and I just said, oh, well,
you know, if you really need it, just let me know. Well,
she put me up on it and it was supposed
to be a short term loan. But about two and
a half years later I had to chase it up
and get it back off it. But in the meantime

(28:00):
she'd had a couple of nice overseas trips.

Speaker 7 (28:04):
Kidding, shake it, okay, you wanted it back?

Speaker 5 (28:14):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (28:15):
What are you a chit bloody charity Marianne.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
Oh my gosh, are you guys? Marianne? I can imagine
that will make things quite awkward.

Speaker 8 (28:24):
Oh no, it was all right after that.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
Okay, Well you're a good, very good free and Marianne
very good free.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
Thank you so much for you a call.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
We're going to hook you up with the hell peaks
about and Adrian is joining us.

Speaker 3 (28:35):
Cad I mate you today. Ye're not too bad. When
did you offer something to a mate and they actually
took it up?

Speaker 6 (28:43):
Somewhat to Marianne, I ended up helping out a friend
his car blow up and he needed a new car,
and I was going to sell mine a few months.

Speaker 9 (28:50):
Later, but I thought, well, you need a bit more
than I do.

Speaker 6 (28:52):
I've got another spare one, so I let him have
it and then got him to pay it off.

Speaker 9 (28:56):
He put a five hundred dollars deposit down and then
left town.

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Oh my gosh, she literally drove off in your car.

Speaker 3 (29:03):
Yeah, I'm assuming. I'm assuming the friendship's not so strong now.

Speaker 6 (29:09):
No, No, I don't know where he is, and I'll
leave it a bit on the radio.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Mattie's eyes just went wide ope, and he feels like
there's a bit more juice behind that story.

Speaker 2 (29:20):
I do love a juicy story.

Speaker 3 (29:23):
All right, We've got one more calling through. Alice is
joining us.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Alice, when were you kind and you offered your friends
something and then they actually took you.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
Off on it?

Speaker 10 (29:31):
Well, a friend of mine quite a bad breakup, and
so she's got a couple of young kids, and you
know I've got kids too, So we offered for her
to come and stay, and so she rocked up and
I didn't really realize that she was going to bring
her two dogs in kit to come with them.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
Oh that's a lot. And did you say anything?

Speaker 10 (29:51):
It wasn't really something I could say.

Speaker 7 (29:53):
It was novation.

Speaker 10 (29:56):
The biggest thing was, well, for one of a bitter
word was the new rather large. So you know you're
not talking about two little dogs, what a large dog
plus the labrador brother.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
So so, so what you're saying is I need to
check with my friend. Is it just my friend coming
or is there a bag like a pack of animals
following behind as well?

Speaker 10 (30:17):
Yeah, yeah, totally.

Speaker 3 (30:19):
Thank you, Thank you so much for the call. We've
got to help. Pete's about coming your way.

Speaker 2 (30:24):
Page listening to this. On four four eighty seven, I
had a friend split from his wife and asked me
if I could move into my house for a couple
of weeks.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
He was there for six years. Six years. Let this
be a warning, McLean, a warning.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and PJ the podcast that's.

Speaker 2 (30:44):
A weekend of sports page. And I know what you're thinking,
why the hell is many tellers about sport? But but
I did think this was really sweet. I saw obviously,
Sean Johnson, who's played fourteen seasons for the Warriors, has
his last appearance at Mount Smart. The go medium Mount
Smart Stadium this Friday, Tomorrow night, So in honor of that,

(31:08):
they have renamed Mount Smart Stadium is Sean Johnson Stadium.
This week an emotional night, legend and very emotional, very emotional.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Speaking of Warriors, don't forget Marcelo Montoya from the Warriors
and his wife Taylor. They've got a new podcast called
The Montoyas. It has joined the iHeartRadio family and basically
it's tackling marriage one laugh at a time. There is
no filter with these conversations. Taylor is hilarious. She obviously
works with Johnovan Ben in the morning, and this week,

(31:41):
because episode four is out now, Taylor explains how nervous
she gets while watching Marcello play and somehow ends up
talking about which toilet they should use in their house
and which bathroom is actually banned. So if you want
to hear that in more Hilarious Conversations. Episode four is
out now. You can check them out on socials, the
Montoyas pod cast on Instagram, or follow the podcast on

(32:02):
iHeartRadio wherever you get your pods.

Speaker 4 (32:07):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and Pj the podcast The Heads.

Speaker 2 (32:12):
I'm in Queenstown at the moment, Peach, which is home
for me where I grew up, and I absolutely love
this place.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
You see yourself settling down there one day.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
We always talk about it. I think you often do
that with your hometown, right, You kind of think I'll
go away or get what I need, I'll get it
out of my system, and then I'll come home. And
we do often say that about Queenstown, and every time
we come here, we just absolutely love it. It is
so beautiful.

Speaker 3 (32:36):
It just it's a pretty cool place to have like
a hometown.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
I know, I know, But God, isn't it always the
way we took it for such granted when we were
growing up. But the thing about Queenstown cold.

Speaker 3 (32:51):
Yeah, she can be hot in some of though.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
Yeah, and it's actually pretty mild at the moment, but
it's still not It's still fresher than Auckland. You know.
I've had to had to rug up warmly. As I've
been out and about and yesterday I was wearing this
like woolen jumper and we've been out for quite a
few hours when Ryan turned to me and he goes,
you know, you jumpers on backwards wearing the I was

(33:17):
wearing it just the wrong way round.

Speaker 4 (33:20):
So was the V?

Speaker 1 (33:21):
Was it like a V jumper and was on the
back more just because you could get away with it
if it was all like the same same style all
the way round.

Speaker 2 (33:32):
It was, And it has quite a bulky logo underneath
the back collar. So then the bulky logo was kind
of sticking out at the front of my chest. So
I thought, God, I've got a really quickly maneuvering turn
this thing around. So I pulled the arms out. But
as I was pulling the arms out, underneath my armpit

(33:55):
kind of ripped along the seam of the woolen jumper,
and I thought, I buger it because I really like
this jumper and I don't know how to sew. I
don't know how to sew it all, Like I'm just
so useless with these kinds of things. But then I
thought to myself, where am I I'm home?

Speaker 3 (34:13):
Tracy, give Tracy McLean a.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
Cal can I give Tracy McLean Nicole. Now, this is
the question, at what age is it unacceptable to call
your mom and ask her for help with these kinds
of things? Never?

Speaker 3 (34:28):
Always? I think you can ask your mom until you're dead.
I'm looking at it.

Speaker 1 (34:35):
No, but she I mean to be honest, she never
sees you, I think, any excuse to do something for
her life, Matthew.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
But she would jump it at I know. But then
the other thing is we don't see each other that often,
And am I really going to ask her just spend
half of her time while I'm down here sewing up
my armpit of my woolen jumper.

Speaker 3 (34:54):
This is true, but also might milk it while you're
in the same time?

Speaker 6 (34:57):
Do it?

Speaker 3 (34:58):
Honestly, You're regretted if you don't.

Speaker 2 (35:00):
So you're saying, not only take the wool and jump it,
but bring around the load of washing as well. I'm
goingning to do those as well. Ask you to cut
me dinner tomorrow night as well. Shall I really really
milk it?

Speaker 3 (35:08):
I just milk it.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
The first right seven. I'm definitely jumping straight into the
fridge when I get home tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (35:17):
Many and PJ the podcast.

Speaker 2 (35:21):
That the Pea Pool's Poll, the pet Pole's Poll. Everybody
comes together.

Speaker 4 (35:25):
It's the peat Pool's Poll, all.

Speaker 1 (35:27):
Right, and it's one of the people's poll. We ask
a question on the show every.

Speaker 2 (35:30):
Day was sorry, can I just tell you? Yesterday we
were in the car driving through Queensown and it was
the first time that Ryan had ever heard the People's
Poll intro and he turned to me and he went, really,
that's what you went with.

Speaker 1 (35:43):
We got all the feedback that I've had from yesterday's
show while you were listening in the car. You were
meant to be on a holiday, I know, and honestly
switch off many MC.

Speaker 2 (35:52):
Sorry anyway, get nervous.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
On my own. You weren't meant to listen.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
You were great. You did such a good.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
Job anyway, and it's time for the People's fault. Yes,
we probably need to redo the same tro No.

Speaker 2 (36:03):
I love the intro, but this is when.

Speaker 1 (36:06):
We ask a question every day on sometimes you know,
hard hitting issues, other times, most commonly, more trivial issues.
And today the question is when you go to the
petrol station, how much do you fill up a little bit,
half a tank.

Speaker 3 (36:23):
Or a full tank.

Speaker 2 (36:25):
I'm a full tanker and everything, like, yeah, pretty much
every time I feel like I heard that you're that
you end up saving more money over time, Like it's
more it's more cost effective to fill it right up
than it is to just fill up like smaller amounts.

Speaker 1 (36:46):
That is, I know that, I know that, but every
time I go, I'm just it's just LEAs fun to
bind the money on pitch.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
But it does weirdly feel like the first half of
the tank goes really slowly and then second half always
goes really quickly.

Speaker 3 (37:03):
I used to be shocking. I used to do like
twenty dollars.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
I've definitely gone up, Like I reckon, I'm probably usually
doing about half a tank when I go and fill up.

Speaker 2 (37:12):
We're doing winted twenty dollars. You'd be filling it up
every two days now.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
This was back in the day and I had this
little Toyota and make sure with ages.

Speaker 3 (37:23):
But now usually half a tank. Although the other day.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
I went to a petrol station where Bjo my husband,
he's got like a farm account, and he goes fill
it up, and it was honestly like Christmas Day.

Speaker 2 (37:32):
It's just such a it's just such a pain in
the ass going to the petrol station. The more I
can avoid having to get out of my car and
fill up, the better.

Speaker 1 (37:41):
Okay, so this is the question, and you can go
to our Instagram page are the hats Drive if you
would like to wait in on today's People's poll. How
much do you fill your petrol? A little bit, half
or fully full? Those are your three options. Text through
now four four eight seven and we'll come back and
reveal the results next.

Speaker 4 (38:01):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and PJ, the podcast, the Heads,
the People's Poll, the.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
People's Pole, everybody comes together.

Speaker 1 (38:09):
It's the People's Poll, Today's People's Pole. We're asking the
question when you go to fill up your car, how
much she actually fell up with it? Is it a
small amount? Is it half? Or is it a full tank?
You can text through four four eight seven or way
in on the pole on our Instagram page. The Hits
Drive got some texts coming through. Now that I make

(38:30):
half dasent money, half decent amount of money, I will
fill it up. But when I was young, I'd sometimes
put as little as ten dollars in. You should always
try to have a full tank for emergencies.

Speaker 3 (38:41):
That's what they say.

Speaker 2 (38:42):
Someone said full tank. Now that I have a weekly
budget for petrol. When I was a poor UNI student,
I was definitely twenty to thirty dollars per fill up
because it was a risk on the wallet filling up more.

Speaker 1 (38:52):
I'm looking through these full half I'd say it is
probably on the text machine majority full tank.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
I've got an overall result for us peage. Okay it is.
It is a walk in the park for the full tank.
Is seventy eight percent of people say yep, fill it
right up, twelve percent say half a tank, ten percent
say a small amount each time, like ten to fifty dollars.

Speaker 1 (39:19):
Guys, I just need to grow up and put it
in a weekly budget.
