Welcome to the podcast.

Speaker 1 (00:11):

her single dating stories.

God she delivered this weekend.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Oh hit me. We had.

A hook up with an Australian, a kiss from a
guy on a TV show, and there was a patch
with the girl and there was another hook.

Up with another guy.

Amazing.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Last week she had a great week. I'm not going
to say any names.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
I get in trouble, but you know, it's good to
have those friends that love through from time to time.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
She found out. Remember we went to Symphony a couple
of weeks ago. Yes, shir mis shit. Two sept two
friends of mine who don't know each other. Ah, they're
like the separate friends they they.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
No, but they did run into each other the other
day at the gym.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Oh that was that awkward for them?

Speaker 3 (01:10):
One of them said, that was a very like cursory
little wave. Okay, just like an acknowledgment, like a high.

our lives together.

men's really.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Look, I haven't done it, and I've never witnessed it myself,
but I have heard many a story over the years.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
I mean, we've talked about the effect of exercise and
how it can make you feel of it. You know,
you feel good, you feel hot, yeah, feel sweaty, you
feel sixy.

I think you feel attracted.

Speaker 3 (02:00):
My other hot. Yeah. My personal trainer calls it the pump,
like you get a pump.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
On where I come from. Haven't like having a pump
is something quite sexual?

Speaker 3 (02:14):
Well I think that what he made No, no, no no,
But I think maybe a pump leads to a pump.

Speaker 1 (02:21):
Oh. Yeah. The more we know you go is that
I wonder if that's quite common in gym's universally.

Speaker 3 (02:28):
I reckon.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
Raging testoster.

Speaker 3 (02:34):
Hey. Earlier in the show, we were talking about the
wild things that you've done, like what crazy things you've
been paid for? You'll hear about that on the podcast,
but this one we didn't actually talk about someone texting
and said, this chick had a crush on me for
a while and they offered me three grand to cook
for them, which took ten hours. But the catchers, I
could only be in my underwear.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
I'd do it.

Speaker 3 (02:55):

Speaker 2 (02:57):

because torturess. If you can't given teen hours.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
And watch they meet it.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Yeah, surely if they had a crush.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
On you, they probably want to eat with you, wouldn't.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
I I'd say so. I would do it happily, just
to what walk, just to be in the kitchen.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
I want to wear some nice I'd want to be
able to choose the underwear.

Okay. Anyway, I did tell her. I said to Ryan
the other day, I said, hey, just you know, like,
just sit tell me if you like have any issues
with the things that I'm talking about.

Speaker 1 (04:03):
What did he say?

Speaker 3 (04:04):
It was like, yeah, yeah, I will. He's like, I
don't listen often, so but I will. Yeah yeah, I'm.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
He obviously doesn't listen to the podcast.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
I don't think he does, and let's keep it that way.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
I think, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah. BJ
Winer on the Week try and Tim. This is because
he was playing rugby and he got recognized. All these
people came up and like asked for four doors with him,
and he came up with the biggest here going.

I was like a celebrity in.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
South Canterbury, South Canterbury, South Canbary, isn't it. Yeah, he
was like celebrity. He got so many people coming up
to someone taking photos going in paj's BJ, I love
you man, like so down to Earth's such.

Speaker 3 (04:49):
A cool Ryan's head this a couple of times as well.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Oh the other the worst and I act like they
hate it, but they love it.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
Those two.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
I don't need that.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
We keep talking about getting the four of us together,
but I actually feel like the more the longer we
keep those two away from each other, the bitter.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
I also threaten about getting BJA and Instagram account funny,
like you could, really you can actually make a bit
of money on there, just I mean think about the
blokey market that we can target.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Farming years bloody built on.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
Well, Ryan got message today He's been asked Tom see
an event. I was like, I'm not. I was like,
my ming is like run dry, how are you? How
are you getting invites to go on MC events? And
I'm not.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
Probably think they can get him for a cheap rate,
not Melettie McClain though premium costs.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
Anyway, they are getting both of them just a little
too big for their boots.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
I reckon, should we do something to bring them down, to.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
Take them down to people or two?

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Yeah, yeah, I think it's true. I think it's due. Okay,
come and have in the podcast today. Look, it wasn't
the Where's Monday Show? I'll be on Mondays are the flatters,
but we see some good chats.

Speaker 2 (06:06):
What interrupted the wedding?

Speaker 1 (06:09):
And I revealed my present faux path for my two
year old.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Son, and we put you through another round of finish
me off? How did you go with the clothes this week?

Speaker 2 (06:19):
Page fucking terrible?

Speaker 3 (06:20):
Yeah, I thought I'd say, I genuinely thought I was
giving you a really easy one to start with, and
I think it was your worst. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:27):
Yeah, So that's all coming up, and we talked about
the craziest things that someone.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Has paid you to do. All of that and more
coming up.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
Enjoy the podcast. I had a little little bit of
time to kill before the show today after our meeting.
We've done everything, So I went to quickly grabbed myself
some lunch.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
And gives us on the quickly. This man does not
do it all.

Speaker 3 (06:51):
Oh my god, I walked so far so fast, I
like to get Oh yeah, if there's food involved, I'm
even faster. I'm like you say, bolt on the streets.
I need to go and get some lunch. And I
needed to go and pick myself up some protein powder
because you know me, I'm constantly bulking hshishi. And so

(07:11):
I was walking down the street and I ran into
a couple that I know who are here from christ
Church and so they was very unexpected to run into them.
I didn't, you know, I wasn't planning on seeing them.
And the guy pulled me into a big beer hug,
and then the girl, the woman put out her hand
for a handshake, but I was too I was too

(07:33):
quick to realize that she'd put her hand out for
the handshake, so I went into a hug and then
her partner said, oh, oh, she is not a hugger.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
There are some people that aren't huggers, and you have
to be really.

Speaker 3 (07:49):
Careful, really careful. But then this is this, This became
my dilemma after I left because anyway, we wrapped things
up and I apologized for the hug, but I am
I am a and it's my go to And so
I was leaving and I was pondering to myself, what
is the impetus to change your behavior on the hugger

(08:12):
or the non hugger because for me, that's my go
to way of greeting as a hug. But if someone
says I don't like a hug, is that on me?
It feels like it's on me to not hug them,
even though that's how I enjoyed to greet someone.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yeah, so their preference is outwigh your needs. Really hugs
because you feed off people's aviction. You're a cuddly guard
uhich is my love language. But you have to be
the one that sacrifices I think I think you do
if you know, you didn't know in that situation, so
I think you're good to go for today. But now
that you've been told that, I think it's on you

(08:52):
to just tone it down.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
Over to just go. I don't. I just feel so
unnatural going in for a handshake just for me?

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Yeah, what about like a if you do like a
little casual slap, like a what am I slap there
on the hand?

Speaker 3 (09:11):
The hand?

Speaker 2 (09:13):
But it's more like, you know, a formal grinting of
a handbag.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
It's kind of like, hey man, like a casual slap handshake,
kind of oh God, you've come to the wrong person.

Speaker 3 (09:24):
Then maybe I opened this up to the text machine
FO four eights event if hugs out of the question
and I don't feel I don't. I feel like a
handshaker is too formal? What am I left with? What
are my options?

Speaker 2 (09:38):
S'm gonna dance a little Irish jig? What you may
be doing in the moments?

Speaker 4 (09:46):
Mary and PJ Mady and PJ the podcast.

Speaker 3 (09:51):
Do you feel trusted enough to be to act as
like a character witness for your friends? Like, do you
think that you have the gravitar to be asked to
do that.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
I'm trying to think if I have been.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
I feel like someone has nominated me before, but I
never got the call up.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
What was that for?

Speaker 5 (10:10):
For?

Speaker 1 (10:11):
Like a job? A job reference? Maybe they just tried
to make me feel good. They're like, yeah, I totally
editor as one of those. I never got the call up.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
So I've been. I've been asked to be a witness
for a friend of mine who's applying to become a
marriage celebrant. They're sweet, lovely, absolutely lovely. It just feels
like a lot of weight on your shoulders, right, because
even though the other one applying, you're you kind of
feel like it's on your shoulders to get across the line.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
For what do you think that'd be good?

Speaker 3 (10:43):
I think they'd be great.

Speaker 2 (10:44):
Oh, well, there you go. You get nothing to worry about.
You don't need to lie.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
No, no, I'm not worried about lying. I'm just worried
about doing a good enough job to get into Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
Right, Oh you'll be great. You'll be great.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
But it's one of those things. After he asked me,
we started talking about weddings. Because I used to be
a marriage celebrant for about ten years. I did a
lot of weddings and so many. I said to him,
you've got to be prepared because it's a big it's
a big job, and it's a stressful day, and a
lot can go wrong from time to time.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
What do you reckon the percentage of weddings that you
did things went wrong at?

Speaker 3 (11:19):
Oh, I mean, even if we're just talking low level
things that went wrong, I reckon eighty percent. Really, it's
very rare that a wedding goes completely smoothly? Did yours?
Did Jews go from loa to go completely smoothly?

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Oh my god, I can't remember my wedding now ago everything,
I think everything went pretty smooth.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
Let's go.

Speaker 2 (11:43):
Maybe, Oh my god, now we're gonna have to thinke you.

Speaker 3 (11:44):
I think it actually every you'd be in the minority,
though I feel like I would be. I remember a
wedding and that we were in the middle of the
ceremony and in the firelarm went off and we all
had to be evacuated and then stand out on the street.
They hadn't even done their ideas, and then we had
to walk go back in so they could finish off
the rest of the ceremony.

Speaker 1 (12:03):
We were at a friend's wedding months and the labrador
actually started attacking and duck behind the speeches because obviously
they're a dog duck, and it just like.

Speaker 2 (12:13):
Went hard on this duck.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
And everyone's trying to focus on those really beautiful.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Sentimental speech but all they can do is look at
the dog at the back.

Speaker 3 (12:20):
Well, Ryan's Ryan's are big into horses. They used to
ride horses lots. He has a lot of friends that
are in the horse world. And one bride decided that
she was going to arrive to the ceremony horseback. Well
there's the extra extra, and then it bucked and threw
her off into the mud, into the mud in a
white dress. Did she have to go off for the ambulance? No,

(12:42):
she was okay, but she the dress didn't stay clean
for very long.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Oh God, there's some rasky entrance.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
And so I said to my friend, these are just
things you need to know about before you become a celebrant,
because you're the one that's up there leading the charge,
and so many things can interrupt the big day.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
So should we add to the list, because there's a
few examples of what can go wrong. A horse bucking
a dog mauling a duck behind the speeches. Oh wait,
hundred the hat so you can text four for eight seven.
What should we add to the list to warn Maddy's
friend as he, you know, into the wedding world.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
What else can go wrong at a wedding?

Speaker 3 (13:21):
Yes? What interrupted the wedding day?

Speaker 4 (13:24):
Man the podcast, We've.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Been taking your calls on the hats. You can text
us all for eight seven. We wanted to know what
interrupted the wedding because Madie has been giving his mate
a pet talk. Who's looking to also become a celebrant.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
Yes, and I just said to him that that's great.
You'll be a fantastic celebrant. But when you're front and center,
you're kind of in charge of the big of the
big day in terms of the ceremony.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
So you'd have to learn to exude calm when really so.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
And you also need to know what to be prepared
for if things go wrong.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
So we wanted to know, because, you know, just in
preparation for his friend, what could actually interrupt the wedding?
Francis is joining us. Hello frances Hi, dads, that was
this your wedding?

Speaker 6 (14:13):
No, I'm a wedding celebrant at the moment, and yeah,
that was one of my clients' weddings. And you can't
become an event organizer when you're wedding.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Oh, I get it.

Speaker 6 (14:27):
Yeah, And what he had done, well, I am the
bride arrived, got the hids up that the bride was coming,
but the groom was nowhere to be found. He was
filling the car pack without a shirt on, still having
beers with.

Speaker 1 (14:41):
Oh my god, and so how long how long did
it take from to get out of the aisle?

Speaker 7 (14:46):
Oh?

Speaker 6 (14:46):
I had just seen her for another ride around the
block and took another ten minutes to kind of get
him to finish up and get a shirt on.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
Did you have to march? Did you have to march
down there as well? Francis?

Speaker 6 (14:57):
And yeah, and I had to go much and waite Dan.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
So I would say that probably one of the most
common things that happens.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
On time, because that's probably so used to the wonderful wives.
Wives beganizing the alives for them.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
He's got a rasia interrupted the wedding.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (15:22):
Yeah, it was on my cousin's wedding and the guys
had been out golfing in the morning. It was a
scorching hot day. I hadn't had lunch, hadn't really been
hydrating property. And he gets to the wedding ceremony and
then so all skull going really good until they get
to doing the vows and they start doing their vows,
and all of a sudden, he just passes out. He
just thinks the groom friend is standing there and catches

(15:46):
him and then gets him standing back up again. And
they're filming the wedding and his brother just looks at
the camera and just goes keep her on to film.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
Oh god, so.

Speaker 7 (16:00):
That everyone's all, you know, fretting and no, no, you know,
his brother's assuring everyone, no, no, he's fine, he's fine,
gets it all standing up, get them standing up again.
They get started again with doing the vows, and he faints.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
What was the bride doing at this point.

Speaker 7 (16:18):
She was just like a mouth dropped open, staring in disbelief,
like I can't believe this is happening. Then they have
to get a chair up on this, you know, up
there so that he can sit down, because they don't
want to risk him fainting for a third time.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
The water.

Speaker 7 (16:34):
But yeah, and then after that, once they got him seated,
then they carried on and everything you know, finished.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
But we had to do the of the ceremony. God,
thank you so much for the coal raid. I really
appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (16:49):
This is rapping up with Tisa. Well interrupted the wedding.

Speaker 8 (16:54):
Hi.

Speaker 9 (16:55):
I was shooting as a photographer, and I went to
shop backwards and off the step as the bride was
coming down the aisle to get photos of her. And
as I step backwards, the cap had covered like like, well,
walk back that she walked down it, and I stepped
into a hole that was covered by the capat and
like foul, rolled my ankle in front of the entire

(17:16):
wedding Patty and I had to quickly get back up
and make out like nothing had to happen it and
meanwhile I was dying. And then my mate, who was
a sicken footer, rushed around as soon as she could
and was like are you okay, mate, And I'm like no,
my ankle.

Speaker 7 (17:30):
Is so far.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
But we had to carry on like, oh well, you
can't make it about you because it's so you had
to act like a trooper.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
True professional, Tessa, true professional.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Oh my god.

Speaker 4 (17:42):
Many in the podcast.

Speaker 3 (17:47):
Earlier in the show, we were talking about the fact
that I am a hugger, but I ran into someone
I know today who hates hugs. Apparently I didn't know
I hugged. I hugged her anyway, but she went in
for the handshake, and I thought the handshake seems to form.
But if you're not into hugs, what's the alternative? What
else can we do here?

Speaker 1 (18:04):
We did get a few texts. People are saying first pump. Question,
is it a first pump or a first bump?

Speaker 3 (18:11):
I say, first bump, first bump.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
No, first, I think it's first bump because you're bumping your.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
First That's what I said. I said, first bump.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
Okay, yeah, okay, yeah, okay, agree, I agree, agree on that. Okay,
my two year old's really into first months.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
Well, first first first bumps is definitely the way to go.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
I think someone did suggest maybe you could bow.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yes, someone said the Jeff He said, it's sort of
just bow. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (18:37):
We can get yourself trouble and end up in hospital
and some godly known Andrea.

Speaker 4 (18:43):
Manyj podcast, that's finish me off in the maytime.

Speaker 2 (18:51):
It's time to humiliate myself.

Speaker 1 (18:53):
Can we just warm out with a really really well
known quote that I should guess, just give me a
bit of confidence, because.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
Here's here's the thing. You have this beautiful way about
you where you love to sound really profound.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
Sometimes I pull it off sometimes.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
Some times, but I'd say more often than not, you
start really strong and you never quite know how to
finish the quote off.

Speaker 1 (19:17):
So you're doing this as a friend. You want to
help me out.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
It's a service. It's a service for you, and then
it's entertainment for the rest of us.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
Okay, all right, so we're going to start easy.

Speaker 2 (19:28):
What am I aiming for? Three out of three?

Speaker 3 (19:30):
No, honestly, at this point in time, get one. I'd
be heavy with one out of three. But let's I
reckon today. Let's let's go for two.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Okay. You can play along in the car as well,
see how you go, and you can actually text through
what you got up against myself because maybe you know
we're all just shit at this.

Speaker 3 (19:48):
Maybe. Okay, I'm going to start easy with a well
known one you should get. That's what I reckon. A
bird of the hand is.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
Worth a thousand feathers. That's something about a bush in
the mouth. A bird in the hand is worth a
bush in the mouth. Oh my god, that sounds so fad.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Actually, a bird.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
In the hands worth a thousand dollars.

Speaker 2 (20:13):
It's something about money.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
A bird in the hand, but it's not a bush
in the mouth.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
A bird in the hand, and something very good.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
A bird in the hand.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
I thought I was really going easy on you.

Speaker 1 (20:28):
Here as worth a night's dinner.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
It's worth towing the bushell.

Speaker 1 (20:35):
On the A bird in the hand is worth towing
the bush.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
Yes, she did it.

Speaker 2 (20:42):
What does the bush you have to do with it?

Speaker 3 (20:43):
I don't really know.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
I don't get it.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
I don't really know.

Speaker 1 (20:46):
I have heard about one though, Okay, next one quote
number two?

Speaker 2 (20:52):
Oh god, that was the easy one.

Speaker 3 (20:54):
Push in the mouth, my god. Courage is the measure
of a man.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
Power.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
Oh yeah, keep going.

Speaker 3 (21:04):
I was just going to help you out. So courage
is the measure of a man. Yeah, where do you
think it's going?

Speaker 1 (21:10):
Self worth is the measure of a bicycle. I told
you I was slow today. Was that something like self worth?

Speaker 3 (21:19):
It's you're not it's not self worth. But what would
we be looking for If courage is the measure of
a man, Loyalty is.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
The measure of a dog.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
No, I like courage.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
Courage is the measure of a lion.

Speaker 1 (21:38):
No, courage is the measure of a woman.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
Beauty is the measure of a woman. Well about success
about some of these quotes might be a little bit outdated.

Speaker 1 (21:51):
Actually one bring your baby, I'd feel like a warming up.

Speaker 5 (21:56):
Now.

Speaker 3 (21:56):
There is no fall, there.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
Is no there is no fool like a joker. There
is no fool like a man who doesn't trust himself.
There is no fool like could just come in the
next word. And there is no fool like an embarrassed man,

(22:24):
Like an embarrassed man. There is no fool like an imposta.
There is no fool like I'm sorry, my brain's just
melting down.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
What is that?

Speaker 3 (22:31):
There is no fool like an old.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
PJ, like an old fool or a PJ. Oh my god,
how did you go out of that?

Speaker 2 (22:42):
Course?

Speaker 1 (22:42):
This week you can take through four for eight seven.

Speaker 4 (22:47):
Many Podcast.

Speaker 1 (22:53):
Look Big Week into Celebrations and our halfhold for little
Charlie Boy Charlie Leo two.

Speaker 2 (22:59):
Years ago he was born. She's very exciting.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
Was it emotional? Did you get emotional or is it not?
Is the time over for emotions at the moment?

Speaker 1 (23:08):
I do get waves of emotional of course, Yeah, But
I think it's also more excitement and pride and like, honestly,
he's just growing up so much. So he's just such
a boyer. I can't actually believe two years ago he
was just a dot. He's just a baby.

Speaker 2 (23:21):
Like it's wild how they.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
Turn into this little human thing that has so much character.

Speaker 2 (23:27):
And oh, he's just the best. I love him so much.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
I'm not always the best at nailing presents. I have
quickly discovered, and I don't know. I think it's silly
how we feel this pressure to, you know, to keep
up with presents when they turn you know, sit in ages.

Speaker 3 (23:44):
It's hard though, because they can't ask, You can't say
what do you want for your birthday? So you kind
of do have to pick. And the thing I think
that I'm picking up on having had lots of friends
with kids and nieces and nephews, is that often it's
the stupid, simple gift that the kids are drawn to
the most.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Preach it, preach it till the cars come home. And
so sometimes I think I'll nail something and I'm like,
oh my god, he hates it. So I got a
couple of things, and one of those things I thought
was genius I was like, great, let's kickstart his musical
career early. Let's get like a little kid, like a
little xylophone, a little shake him, a raca thing and

(24:27):
a recorder.

Speaker 3 (24:28):
Oh, PJ, let me just.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Play some audio that was echoing through our household this morning.

Speaker 2 (24:43):
He loves it.

Speaker 3 (24:44):
I bet he dance. But even I could have told
you what a stupid, stupid decision.

Speaker 1 (24:54):
So we unwrapped it this morning because BJ, my husband
had been away from rugby over the weekend, and he
was like, oh, what's in this box? He opened it up.
As soon as he opened it was like, can we
put this back and give this to someone else? And
before he cut Charlie runs off with the recorder and
now he's like the pied piper.

Speaker 3 (25:14):
In the garden.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
What have I done?

Speaker 3 (25:18):
Reddy?

Speaker 10 (25:18):
He loves it.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
He loves I managed to start wearing like noise cans,
headphones or something.

Speaker 3 (25:24):
You know what.

Speaker 2 (25:24):
It makes them happy.

Speaker 3 (25:25):
Uncle Maddy's gonna have to do next, don't you. You're
getting a bloody drum kept for Christmas?

Speaker 4 (25:32):
Maddy and PJ. Maddy and PJ the podcast.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
Hey, I you know me, I've got this some watch
on that my Apple Watch and I'm all wait, constantly
waving my arm trying to close my rings, and I've
gotten into a really serious habit where I'm trying to
close my movering every day.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
I judged you for quite a while on this, and
now I've actually started getting tempted and thinking I need
it in my life.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
That's good, it's really good motivation. But it also becomes
a little bit addictive. And then I've got friends that
are on that I've connected with on here, so I
get notifications if they've done certain workouts.

Speaker 1 (26:10):
On and then you off you won't be beaten.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
Well, it does become very competitive, and also it just
becomes a little bit I don't know, culty.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
Yeah, yeah, I don't think I need to watch. I'm
going to say now I'm going to abstain from purchasing
the watch.

Speaker 3 (26:26):
No, but it does get a little bit addictive, and
you kind of ride high on the endolphins of a
kind of closing the rings, b getting notifications and see
getting like validation from people where they go, great job,
you do well, mady, Well you've been through will run
well done. But this guy in America has caused some

(26:49):
outrage because he has revealed that people have been paying
him to utilize their accounts, the Strava accounts. Now, Strava
is like a website or an app where you can
basically track you're biking, you're running, you're swimming, all sorts
of workouts. Right, yeah, And some people have been paying

(27:11):
this guy to take their Strava account and go out
for runs on their bards so that they can get
the high and the endolphins of people congratulating them on
a run well done, But they haven't the pose.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
Isn't it about your own achievement?

Speaker 3 (27:29):
Absolutely?

Speaker 1 (27:30):
Some random dudes doing it beyond the eterinet absolutely, But
this is the problem, right, It becomes like a little
bit addictive.

Speaker 3 (27:37):
But if you're busy, or maybe you had a big
night on the Saturday and you don't want to get
off the couch, but you want to track some sort
of exercise on your watch or your your Strava account,
there are apparently people that you can pay to go
and do this for you. They're called Strava mules.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
That's genius on their behalf. Isn't it what an opportunity
that they've seen. Did they come over to your house
and pack up the watch? How does it work?

Speaker 3 (28:03):
Well? I don't know about Strava. Maybe you could just
log into their account, maybe they just give you the
account log in details. But for me with my Apple Watch,
I would have to just give someone the physical watch
if I wanted them to discuss my rings for me.

Speaker 2 (28:16):
How much is he charging? Does he say?

Speaker 1 (28:18):
It?

Speaker 3 (28:18):
Doesn't say how much he's getting for it. But I thought,
no matter what, it is, what a genius, right, What
a genius way to make a quick bark.

Speaker 2 (28:27):
He'd be getting pretty fit in the.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
Process, exactly, and if he's going up for runs anyway,
But I thought, yeah, well, does that mean he might
be running with like ten different phones or devices to
try and do so many different people's Strava account, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Do a bulk workout, that would make sense.

Speaker 1 (28:44):
Sure, he just see him running down the road like
with his art instead of dads. He's got a sleeve
of watches.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
But what a genius way to make some money, right.

Speaker 1 (28:53):
One hundred percent. I there's actually a real strong wiki
feet page of mine. It's quite scary the comp It's
a range of foot images of mine that belong on
the Internet. And I have genuinely seriously considered selling photos
in my feet before. But I just can't bring myself
to do it.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
I know people do it, but if you're putting the
photos out there anyway, you might as well get paid
for it, right if someone wants.

Speaker 1 (29:15):
Something ugly feet though, I don't want to put people
through there.

Speaker 3 (29:19):
You've got a four out of five rating on the website.

Speaker 2 (29:21):
I don't know what's wrong with people. They haven't seen
my second dough. It's literally been anyway.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Oh wad that he's roll with this because obviously, like
times are really tough and people are trying to look
for a buck and some pretty interesting corners.

Speaker 2 (29:33):
What have you done?

Speaker 1 (29:35):
Like, what is the interesting thing that you've done to
get to get a little bit of cash, the craziest
thing someone has.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
Paid you to do?

Speaker 3 (29:43):
Yes, I love that.

Speaker 2 (29:44):
Give us a call. Oh, eight hundreds ahead.

Speaker 4 (29:48):
Maddy andj Mady and PJ.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
The podcasts rid a brilliant story about a guy in
America who is being paid by people to use the
extrava counts. This is where you can log your fitness
routines every day to go out and basically do the
fitness on their behalf. So that this person can still
say that they did a workout, they can get kudos
from their friends online, but they never actually had to

(30:14):
get up off the couch to go and do the exercise.

Speaker 1 (30:17):
Someone text us like, if you want to cheat and
just record your activities a they're actually having to run,
you can just record activities manually and don't need to
pay anyone?

Speaker 2 (30:23):
Am I wrong in thinking that?

Speaker 1 (30:24):
Someone to extend? Mady McLain, you should know the answer today.

Speaker 3 (30:27):
I don't know the answer to this, but I'm going
to look into it.

Speaker 1 (30:32):
Okay, we've opened a can of worms and Megan wants
to weigh in on the watch as well.

Speaker 2 (30:36):
Megan, Hello, Hi, Hi, Hi, what did you want to add.

Speaker 3 (30:41):
About the watch?

Speaker 7 (30:42):
Oh?

Speaker 8 (30:43):
So I used to belong to a rewards program for
like a medical insurance and it's trying to get you
to do a lot of healthy stuff. And one of
the things is like if you walk ten thousand steps
a day, you get a discount on your premium.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
Huh, that makes sense.

Speaker 5 (30:59):
I used to do two things.

Speaker 8 (31:01):
One was I was just sitting meetings and slick the
watch around. The other was that I was in charge
of school examination, so I would send stuff and to
walk around and check on the students. Thanks when Ion's cheating,
all that stuff. So I just still whipped my watch

(31:21):
on them.

Speaker 3 (31:21):
So that they brilliant, brilliant. I love that, cheating the system.
I'll give you that. I'll give you that.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
Alex got is Scott. And because this didn' get us
thinking about, like the craziest thing you've been paid today?

Speaker 4 (31:36):
Scott?

Speaker 1 (31:37):
What did you have today?

Speaker 5 (31:39):
When I lived in Sydney back in the two thousands,
as a teenager, I got a job at town Hall
polishing the Christmas display, you know, the big ornaments and
in the glass and all that sort of stuff.

Speaker 2 (31:53):
My God disploited it.

Speaker 3 (31:56):
Polishing the balls and the ball bulls.

Speaker 5 (32:01):
They had some pretty cool displays though. You know there's
some of those big cities and they all compete. There's
a big favorite Jones went up the road.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Nice.

Speaker 4 (32:09):
What do you.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
What do you clean the ball balls with? Just a
secret for young players?

Speaker 1 (32:14):
What did you what did you deal with?

Speaker 5 (32:16):
Its going to be a rag and some spray wasn't
fully exploited. I got a smoke and things so nice?

Speaker 4 (32:31):
Mary and PJ. Mary and PJ. The podcast, The Heads,
the People's Poll.

Speaker 3 (32:38):
The People's Poll.

Speaker 4 (32:39):
Everybody comes together.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
It's the people, all right.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
We do the People's Pole on the show every day
and today inspired by the weekend.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
What's that question? We just wanted to know when it
gets to the weekend, do you sit an alarm to
wake up? Or do you just let things naturally run
their course?

Speaker 1 (32:57):
Mate, have kids and you'll never have to have alarm
and all ever again in your life.

Speaker 3 (33:01):
What time are you getting up on the weekends?

Speaker 8 (33:03):
Um?

Speaker 1 (33:05):
Six six thirty seven, seven thirty will be a serious sleeper?

Speaker 3 (33:10):
Is any Is there any way you can be awake
but stay in bed? Or once you're up, you're up,
numb up, up for the day. Up and adham early
bird catch is the worm, they say. So it's a
no alarm for me in the weekend. Now it's a
mostly no alarm for me either. And I'm sorry to say, Pete,
we I sometimes run like an eight am wake don't

(33:33):
don't sorry.

Speaker 2 (33:33):
I actually just talked me through it.

Speaker 1 (33:35):
Do you go for like a low a slow bruncht
like ten o'clock, go for a walk.

Speaker 3 (33:40):
I'll wake up, I'll casually wake up at eight. I'll
stay do word in bed, I'll chat to rise in
bed and nothing comes one of us, No one of
us will get up and make ourselves a coffee and
then we'll get back into beds.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
I think we should do all life swat one day
total live sop and we just live in each other's
shows betwenty four hours. I love it.

Speaker 3 (34:03):
I do love that idea. That's great. But let's put
it out to the people, because that's what People's Poll
is all about. When it gets to the weekend, do
you sit an alarm?

Speaker 1 (34:12):
Okay, simple, yes or no, that's all you need to do.
On the text machine text us four for eight seven?
Do you set an alarm on the weekend?

Speaker 4 (34:19):
Many in PJ the podcast, that's.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
The Pepole's Poll, the People's Poll. Everybody comes together.

Speaker 4 (34:27):
It's the People's Pole.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
And today other People's Pole.

Speaker 1 (34:30):
We're asking about your alarm habit, specifically on the weekend.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
Do you set an alarm on the weekend or do
you just let it be?

Speaker 8 (34:38):
I do?

Speaker 3 (34:39):
If I've committed to run club on a Sunday, which
I had there today there at seven fifteen, I was
waiting for a mention about your running that will require
an alarm because I ain't no way I'm getting up
at six thirty on a Sunday Sunday.

Speaker 1 (34:52):
Yeah, So if you've got a specific place to be
early Sunday morning. That makes sense, but otherwise you're loocy
goosy baby, Lucy goosy baby.

Speaker 3 (34:59):
And I would say that as the majority of people
are with me. Seventy three percent of people on the
pole say NAT don't sit an alarm, just rock it,
and eleven percent say, yep, I still sit an alarm
on the weekends.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
There are certain people that just need routained twenty four
seven and on the text machine because that that was
the Instagram results one hundred percent. No, So yep, majority
absolutely do not set an alarm on the weekend.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
So there you go.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
Have you wondering? Are you wondering for your general life query?

Speaker 3 (35:30):
If you've got anything else you want us to run
for the people's poll text through to four four eight seven,
we'd love.

Speaker 4 (35:35):
To Mary J. Mady and PJ the podcast the head for.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Mess and producer herera is And after the weekend, what
were your peaks and truffs highs and lo Sarah Truffs, Oh, no,
did I say that wrong with Troughs? Someone's having a truck.

Speaker 2 (36:02):
At the office as a turn out my mouth. I
knew that I'd seen that.

Speaker 10 (36:12):
My peak was I went I went to my friends
and watched the reality TV Too Hot to Handle. Oh yeah,
you need to get on the vandwagon guys.

Speaker 2 (36:24):
And what was your trush roofs?

Speaker 10 (36:27):
Was probably that I was watching TV and I zoned
out and I wasted like half of my Saturday. I
looked up and I was like, how o'clock already?

Speaker 1 (36:36):
Sometimes maybe there's a sign you just needed to all right,
so you're in the studio with a few topics.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
We cannot be indecided. So if we have to weigh
in with a hat or a mess.

Speaker 10 (36:46):
Okay. Number one vacuum in your car at the petrol station.

Speaker 2 (36:51):
Miss, miss vacuum.

Speaker 3 (36:56):
Yes, and you can pay for like a you can
get a little spray with a like a car deodorant
as well.

Speaker 10 (37:03):
Is this when you go to the car wash.

Speaker 3 (37:05):
No, it's separate from the car wash.

Speaker 10 (37:07):
It's not just Naklan like, it's all around the country.
I'm surprised you haven't seen one before.

Speaker 3 (37:12):
It's like, you know, you know, to the side of
the pumps where you'll go and do your ear for
your tires and stuff. Yeah, yeah, you'll find you'll find
a vacuum cleaner there as well.

Speaker 10 (37:21):
Oh my god, so it's two dollars six minutes, and
you can flip between the vacuum and the spray that
you that makes your cart smell nice.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
I love that. It's really, my god, because I always
just feel like it's a bit of a hassa with
the vacuum. Oh my god.

Speaker 10 (37:39):
And if you're already getting pictrell or you're passing one
on your way to work, you.

Speaker 5 (37:42):
Just do it.

Speaker 3 (37:44):
Game change the old vacuum sun.

Speaker 2 (37:46):
I'm going to do that.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Let's cool it there, Let's cool it there.

Speaker 10 (37:53):
Next topic, listening to an album and finishing it and
then going back and listening to it again and again
and again.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
Mess mess hats.

Speaker 1 (38:02):
I'm thinking about, like, I haven't done that in a while,
but I do. That's how I used to listen to albums,
Like you just want to consume it and consume it.

Speaker 3 (38:09):
I'm not an album listener, Okay.

Speaker 10 (38:12):
About when your favorite artist drops something new.

Speaker 3 (38:15):
Nah, I dip in and dabble. I think my brain
doesn't enjoy listening to the same person over and over.

Speaker 10 (38:25):
So glad you're on a show with the same person
every day.

Speaker 3 (38:31):
I don't listen to you, right.

Speaker 10 (38:37):
A right, getting getting different flavors when you're getting a
double scoop, icecreaped.

Speaker 2 (38:43):
Mess hats variety is the spice of life.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
My friend.

Speaker 3 (38:48):
We went to This is not a ship not this
is not sponsored. But we went to Patagonia, the chocolate
shopping Queenstown. Have either of you ever been there? Oh
it's good. I think good, It's really good. They've got
such good ice cream flavors. And I loaded up with
two different flavors.

Speaker 1 (39:06):
You need to, I think. I think if you're doing
the double scoop, you've gotta go to different ones. Do
you do it so that the flavors blinked quite strategic?

Speaker 7 (39:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (39:15):
Yeah, yeah, because they do end up like they do
gentle mountains. You kind of need them to You do
need them to know.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
I'm gonna go get ice cream on the way home.

Speaker 10 (39:23):
