Everyone, welcome to the podcast.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
I've got the duty of going to the supermarket before
going home and I'm hungry and this is dangerous and
my husband said he'll call me when I get there,
and he is worse than me. Thank god, he's actually

all the fucking trees.

Yeah, so good, craving them right now.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
That's so good. Those ones we went Me and Ryan
went through a face where we would have them like
almost daily.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Do you know when I was pregnant with Charlie, I
liked avocado QP Mayo great and magrag to g that
like it was kind of like a salad.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Noodle noodle sealad. I actually really love the sound of that.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
Give it a hon like I mean, evocado doesn't bring
much in terms of.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Flavor, but it kind of just gives it a little
creamy bait. Love ever, Oh fuck, no, I've got to
get that.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Get there, get some chocolate, get some chocolate. I mean, yeah,
I will definitely get chocolates caramel.

Tell you what one pace of there and you like,
it's a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
It's a lot of sweetness.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
And I can do I can do sweet I could.
I could hone a whole of chocolate and one go
but Toddler sweet a two triangles of top lorown and
I'm done.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Yeah, so yeah, I won't be getting tolerine. You can't
get that from some markets anyway, can you. It's really
it's just the going thing, Jody Free.

Speaker 3 (01:57):
Do you think that did top Row and go? Well,
we've cornered the market on like airport chocolate, and we.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
Don't need to go anywhere.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
I don't need to go anywhere else because it almost
becomes like a luxury item when you're on holiday, and
maybe people wouldn't buy it as much if it was
so riddily about. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, Yeah, I.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Mean to Switzerland on a Kentucky I was there a
couple of crazy nights?

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Did you you always have crazy?

Speaker 4 (02:27):
Don't?

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Isn't every crazy night?

Speaker 2 (02:28):
On KANICKI it was pretty pretty cool night there under
the mountains.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Anyway, too much, I don't think you've said enough.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Anyway, no one needs to hear.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
We don't need to relives wild raging youth.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
We can imagine, I can imagine.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Have a great day, great night, great morning.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Whenever you're listening to the podcast, and don't forget to
go catch us on social as well. You stay drive
with Meddi and PJ. You can check out Facebook or Instagram.
Coming up in the show today, we talked about when
you were into date to correct someone.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
We also talked about did you meet someone in the car.
We did a little hit or miss on the show
yesterday talking about eye contact in the car, and we
wondered to people actually have like little meet cute moments
in the car.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
And we talked about the new actually speaking of cars,
we talked about the new self care trend that is
sweeping vehicles.

Speaker 2 (03:26):
So all of that are more coming up on the podcast.

Speaker 3 (03:28):
Enjoy Maddy and PJ the podcast. If you if you
asked your husband bj who is a farmer.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
Do you think he'd call you a helpful person when
it comes to his business operation?

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Oh like on the parth?

Speaker 3 (03:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (03:48):
No, absolutely not.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
Do you do anything like do you? And I mean
this love, do you do anything?

Speaker 2 (03:55):
I do it when it suited me.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
So if it's like and it's a beautiful day and
it's a Sunday, like often I find I do go
out on the farm with them on a Sunday because
he still has like a few things to do, but
it's not so bit busy, and if it's a nice afternoon,
then I you know, I really enjoy just going out
in the ute or on the bike. But I'm gate
girl and.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
That's about it.

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Because I was going to say going out in the
ute is not helping on the farm. Being passenger princess
in the ute does not qualify as being helpful.

Speaker 1 (04:26):
I bring coffee and tea in the Fairnis and sometimes
some snacks and gate Judy's and that's probably the extent
of my farming capacity.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
Do you think he wants you to do more?

Speaker 2 (04:39):
No, I don't think so.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
And I always like to play into you know, ignorance
is bliss and I think the least I know the better.

Speaker 3 (04:47):
That is the problem. Right, If you start being really
good at something.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Then he knows and he can come back to me
and ask for help. So if I just play dumb
and I just don't know what to do, then he's
not going to need to come and ask.

Speaker 3 (05:00):
Out of sight, out of mind, come yeah, yeah, yeah.
I do wonder though, is it just part and past
of being a relationship that you're expected to do like
free labor for your partner's Joe.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Okay, this feels like it's coming from somewhere. Do you
feel like you're getting exploited by No, no, no.

Speaker 3 (05:16):
No, no no, no, no, no, no, not exploited. But
I have been asked to help out in Ryan's business.
So Ryan, my husband, is a real estate agent here
in Auckland, Yeah, and he's sales director of the Auckland
office that he works in, And so he's helping a
few new real estate agents who have just started in
the business do up their profile videos. And so he thought, well,

(05:41):
who can I turn to who's had on camera experience.
So I've had like three calendar of flights over the
last couple of days to various things I had to
do a half hour zoom meeting this morning. I've been
booked in to come and help film these videos last
week next week, and I just thought, this is I
guess this is the price. This is the price you

(06:02):
pay for being in a relationship.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
Right, didn't you have to do cold calling?

Speaker 3 (06:06):
I did cold calling for him once upon a time. Yeah, yeah,
it goes both ways. He absolutely helps me out in
various content for the show, that's true.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Do you get any form of commission? Is there any
incentive in the setup.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
A happy husband?

Speaker 1 (06:25):
I guess, well, maybe greater chance of him selling, which
has then got for you.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
True, And he might give me a little hug at
the end of the day, which you know touches my
love language. So I'm not opposed to that. But I
just wondered on four four eight seven if people can
text it is this part and pastor of just being
in a relationship. Do you just end up having to
help out where you can with your partner's business in
some capacity. Let us know what kind of help you
have to provide.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
I lied, I do sweeping in the sharing season, I
help do the old Oh my god, I forgot what
it's called rowsing.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
I do some rousing and I do some epic baking
make a mean bacon. I'm sure I feel bad that
I'm not a good partner.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
I'm sure he's so thrilled for all the help you're providing, Peach, Mary.

Speaker 5 (07:13):
J Mady and PJ the podcast head.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
I want to ask the question this afternoon when we
and too deep to corect someone, when did too much
time pass by that you were like, you know what,
it's just easier to go along with the false facts
than the truth. I was on my husband's phone last
night he wanted to he'd been messaging one of our

(07:38):
neighbors who doesn't actually live there, but they have like
land there, so he like knows him. He messages him
from time to time if there's stock on the land
or whatever, and he had to he was waiting on
a reply from him. So he goes, can you check
the check messages and see if he's replied destination? So
I go in and and I realized that for the

(08:02):
whole conversation that these two have talked, the neighbor has
called Bej Sam and he goes, Hi, Sam, No, sorry,
I can't help you on this one, mate, And I
was like, Beach, why is he calling you Sam, and
he goes he thought I was Sam from the get go,
and it's just too late and the peace now to

(08:23):
correct him, so he just thinks I'm Sam. I was like,
you have to tell him at some point, like it's
going to get confusing, you know, we have a conversation
another neighbor and he'll be LIKEJ. So this guy literally
they've known each other for about a year or two,
and I care you not. He's called him Sam every

(08:46):
single time.

Speaker 3 (08:47):
That's so far from each other as well. It's not
even like an interpretation of the same name. That's so
different Sam and BEJ. I'm not even close to you.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
Do you think he should correct him? Or would would
you go?

Speaker 1 (09:00):
BJ's like thought process and just kind of roll with
it because it's just.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
It's hard because I think I would have corrected him
a long time ago, but if it had gotten to
the point where it's now a year on. But the
issue is what if the neighbor in what if the
neighbor ends up interacting with the two of you together
and then your what you're forced to now call BJ
Sam exactly.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
It's putting me in an uncomfortable position, is you're preppy
to the line now.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
And you know I'm not gonna lie a terrible liar.

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Rible base to give me thinking, because I know this
is something that people get themselves caught into quite regularly.
Have you gone way too deep with a lie and
it's just too late to correct it? And it's just
easier to go along with the story? Oh eight hundred
the hats you can text us four for eight seven.

(09:54):
When were you in too deep to correct someone?

Speaker 3 (09:57):
Do you know?

Speaker 1 (09:57):
I only found out the other day that you know
Larissa who we work with, Yes, I always called her Larry.
Apparently she hates being called Larry. And I just found
this out.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
How long have you been calling her Larry for?

Speaker 2 (10:10):
Since I've worked at the Heads?

Speaker 1 (10:12):
And then Harriet, our boss, I call her hands Apparently
she hates that too, but she's been going along with
that the whole time.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
You're so rude, You're so true, But.

Speaker 2 (10:24):
They couldn't hate. They've obviously been in the same situation.

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Where it's just so awkward to care now and they're like,
oh well just call me and I hate it, but
I can't be bothered. Reading you many and PJ to podcast,
and we're asking the question when we are too deep
to correct someone and you had to go along with
the lie. I just realized yesterday that our neighbor thinks

(10:48):
that my husband's called Sam, and they literally been messaging
back and forth. He's like, Hi, Sam, just an update
on this by Bah. I'm like, why does he call
you Sam? That doesn't sound like Brendan at all.

Speaker 3 (10:57):
No, it's like so this one is this text that
came in is you can see where the confusion would
have come from. Someone said, my dad was in this situation,
goes to the same cafe for coffee once a week.
First time he went and introduced himself as Barry, but
they thought he said Gary. He only realized after a

(11:18):
few weeks. He just went with it. He is still
going to the same cafe once a week three years later,
and he's still Gary.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
At least it sounds very similar, like it's not to
totally different times, like Brendan and Sam.

Speaker 2 (11:32):
Like Bears and Bears, you can get it really the same.
Ashton is joining us, has hi Eshton? Hi?

Speaker 5 (11:42):
Hi?

Speaker 1 (11:42):
When were you in too date to correct someone?

Speaker 6 (11:46):
So am I old primary school. I was on a
dog walk and one of my teachers saw me because
they lived on the same block and they said, oh,
what's your dog's name. I was like, oh, it's Bowie
and they were like, oh, hi, Dowie. And I didn't
want to correct them because I felt bad because I'm
my favorite teacher.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
I mean, Bowie Bowie. You know you can't give a
bit of leniency there.

Speaker 3 (12:13):
I think that's okay. You're very good for not correcting
your teacher. Possibly got some brownie points.

Speaker 4 (12:18):
Now.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
At least your teacher's listening right now and realizes that
you've been lying to Hey, thank you so much for
the call, mate, Thank you bye.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
You would have absolutely corrected, and.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
I would have.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Yeah, Alie's got to Joan, Hello, Hello, Joan, Joe.

Speaker 7 (12:42):
That's not Joan.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Oh what's your name?

Speaker 2 (12:44):
What's your name?

Speaker 3 (12:46):
Jazzed up? The wrong?

Speaker 1 (12:51):
Okay, jaz Hi, When were you in too deep to
correct someone? You corrected us straight out the gates.

Speaker 7 (12:58):
Yeah. And so my best friend, I've been best friends
with her for seventeen eighteen years. Her mother still every
time she sees me, calls me the wrong name.

Speaker 3 (13:10):
What does she call you?

Speaker 2 (13:10):
Where does she go?

Speaker 7 (13:11):
She calls me jeff je I think.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
You said jeff jeez. And it's just what You're just like,
do you know what? It's just easier this way to
go with Jess.

Speaker 7 (13:24):
Well, after the first I don't know, twelve years of
trying to correct her, I kind of gave up. But
my friend still is adamant. There one day she is
going to say my name right today.

Speaker 3 (13:36):
So has it been that So it's been that long
and she's still calling you the wrong name.

Speaker 1 (13:41):
YEP, amazing because she's just maybe having her one.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
Hey, thanks so much. We called Jaz.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
We've got a hal peats about you're coming away and
full up boy coming up next.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
Someone texts it and said, I told my parents I
met my partner through friends, but I really met him
on Tinder and now I'm in too deep to be honest.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
That's going to have to come.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
What if you guys get married, I'll come out in
the wedding speech next when you deliver it.

Speaker 3 (14:04):
May the podcast.

Speaker 1 (14:09):
Earlier this hour where we're talking about the free labor
you do by association of being with your partner.

Speaker 3 (14:18):
I've been asked to go and help out my husband,
who's a real estate agent, record some videos for some
of us, for some of the other agents that work
at and his agency and.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
I just because that's a big thing for real estate
agents now, like they have to be a really big
online person.

Speaker 2 (14:34):
It's like do they eat their own videos.

Speaker 3 (14:36):
To I just think it depends on where you are.
Some people will having like a videographer that will do
it for them.

Speaker 2 (14:43):
Some people will do skill bass quickly expanding.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
So we got you to teach some four four eight seven.
What do you do for your partner just because you're
married to them to help out their business? And someone said,
I am a real estate agent. My husband is my
sign person. He even gets some cleaning up some of
my houses.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
Have you done that? Have you been the sign guy?

Speaker 3 (15:04):
Definitely been the sign guy. Definitely been the flyer deliverer
as well.

Speaker 2 (15:08):
Oh my god, but not cleaning. You'll draw the line
it cleaner.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
I haven't had to clean a house yet yet, but
it's an early days when it comes to our marriage.
Someone else said, I'm an ECE teacher and my poor husband,
bless him, gets dragged in to build and create so
many things for the classroom. I've worked in shells, furniture.
The price you pay when you're a handyman.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
This is me having a trade around this so good.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
This is why I think you are better off just
pleading ignorance pegs to the farm.

Speaker 2 (15:39):
That's the Way, the Future and the podcast.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
Battle of the.

Speaker 1 (15:49):
Heads, and it's time to buy this week's Battle of
the Hats. If you haven't heard this before, we are
designated an artist for the wake, and then Maddy and
I have come to the table with what we believe
the artist's best song is.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Now, I'm just going to come to produces.

Speaker 1 (16:04):
Hera for an overall leader bars for the year twenty
twenty four. Who is dominating dominating currently with better other hits?

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Is? It's a tie tie?

Speaker 8 (16:18):
I think if my calculations are.

Speaker 2 (16:20):
Correct, I I think she might be right right about.

Speaker 8 (16:24):
Looking at twelve equal wow.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Okay, all right, there's good that doesn't give anyone a push,
that doesn't give either of us an advantage.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
No petty votes.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Okay, So this week's artist is Kelly Clarkson and Metty.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
What song would you like to pitch?

Speaker 3 (16:40):
Kelly Clarkson has so many bangers? Can I just say
that first of all? But I'm going to take you
right back to the very beginning her debut studio album, Thankful.
And the thing about Kelly Clarkson is She'd just won
the first ever American Idol season, and so she needed

(17:00):
to do something big out the gate. I think to
really like shared the reality TV image that she had portrayed.
So she teamed up with none other than Christina Aguilera
for her debut single off her album Thankful. It is
a powerhouse of a song perfectly captures the essence of

(17:24):
who Callie Clutton is and why we love her so much.
It is a song that has stood the test of
time because it's more than just a catch tune. It
is a powerful statement. It is Callie Clarkton in her best, authentic, strong,
and absolutely unstoppable. My pack for Battle of the Hits
this week is Misindependent.

Speaker 1 (17:57):
I totally forgot this was Did she teas Astena.

Speaker 3 (18:00):
On that she did? Yeah, Christina Aguilera was going to
put it on her studio album Stripped, and then she
reworked it with Kellie Clarkson.

Speaker 2 (18:09):
Okay, So that's Maddie's vote.

Speaker 1 (18:10):
If you want to vote for Maddie, either text Maddy
to four four eight seven or call up right now
eight hundred of the Hits to officially cast your vote.
My track that I am pitching this week is from
Kelly's second studio album, Breakaway, and while it may not
be one of her most well known tracks, in my
humble opinion, it is the punchiest best song. It focuses

(18:31):
on a relationship that's not working out. Clarkson wants a
lover who will support her not disappear when she needs them.
The most released as a single in two thousand and six,
my pick is walk Away.

Speaker 3 (18:59):
Do you know the funny thing I was tossing up
between this Independent and walk Away?

Speaker 2 (19:05):
Got it all right?

Speaker 1 (19:06):
So now we need your votes New Zealand Best of
three and we will play out the winning song and
two songs. I'll wait hundred the Hits to cast your vote.

Speaker 2 (19:16):
We get you on the air.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
We're gonna hook you up with a hew peaks of Archers.
So vote for this week's Battle of the Hits, miss
Independent or walk Away for Kelly Clark's.

Speaker 2 (19:26):
Maddy and PJ.

Speaker 5 (19:28):
Maddy and PJ the podcast The Hits Battles of the Heads.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
All right, Kelly Clarkson as a designated artist this week,
and Matty and I have come to the table with
what we reckon.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Is the best track.

Speaker 1 (19:43):
I'll wait hundred the Hats to weigh in with who
you would like to vote for this week?

Speaker 9 (19:48):
Now?

Speaker 1 (19:48):
Just remember it as twelve apiece on the Overall Leader
scoreboard for twenty twenty four. Maddy, your song for Kelly
Clarkson this week.

Speaker 3 (19:57):
Was her debut single of her debut album, Missindependent.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
Okay, I went a little later in the pacement, not
much later. This was from Calli's second studio album, Breakaway.
The single came out in two thousand and six. My
back was walk Away. All right, let's head to the

(20:42):
pones this week. We're both gone for slightly less mainstream.
I agree, but we've still got the boats rolling through on.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
The endorphins are flying.

Speaker 3 (23:07):
The bad thing is producers here at quarter of video
of me. And you know when you've got headphones in
and you're singing and you think you're matching the tone
of the singer you were I wasn't.

Speaker 2 (23:18):
Hey, are you a car time kind of guy?

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Like, do you ever find yourself sitting in your car
for any other reason than driving somewhere? No?

Speaker 2 (23:32):
No, because I know you're too impatient, aren't you.

Speaker 3 (23:34):
Yeah, when I get somewhere, I'm in out. I'm almost like,
I'm almost unbuckling my seat belt, like as I'm pulling
into the driveway.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
So they're cool.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
Well, they're tarting car time as the new form of
self care. It's been scooped online quite a bit, and
there's a number of videos as You've been uploaded to
a number of social media platforms talking about how people
find peace.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
In their vehicle.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
Okay, I really empathize with this, And maybe this is
just because I've been through the newborn phase and hit
a baby, and sometimes just sitting in your car when
they've fallen asleep in the back is pure pace and
you just have a moment to breathe, twenty minutes just there.
Sometimes I'll even have a little meditation, a little snooze.

(24:24):
It's a great little spot in between all of the
busyness of the world.

Speaker 3 (24:27):
Okay, in saying that when I was when I was
on breakfast back in the day, and I'd rock up
to work at four am and pull into the t
VNS in car park, there were times when I would
set in my car for maybe fifteen minutes and just.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
Catch my braies, like that safe space between life getting
chaotics right, just like Okay, I'm going to breathe that.
Some people talk about how it is the place where
they just go and sit and eat, like takeaway a
low sometimes right, that is an elite form of self cares.

Speaker 2 (25:00):
Say that before the.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
Gym they'll just actually hit thirty minutes out before going in,
just like okay, get all this. Yeah, So I'd love
to know chicks four four eighty seven, are you a
bit of a car self care?

Speaker 5 (25:15):
Like?

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Is this pretty comment?

Speaker 3 (25:17):
Someone's already text and said I sometimes sit in my
car after getting home from school with the kids a
few extra minutes of quiet while they head inside.

Speaker 1 (25:26):
Although a counselor has come out, I think she was
based in christ here saying we go from box to
box and it's not really helping people regulate in healthy ways.
She instead encouraged looking to green time, which isn't the Worky, Becky,
it's like getting outside and getting in nature. She said, Look,
we live in so many boxes from home to work.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
You don't need to be in another box.

Speaker 3 (25:46):
Hey, what was your fancy texts?

Speaker 1 (25:49):
More for eight seven until let us know if you're
a bit of a self care car kind of person.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
Many in the podcast that hey, you say on the show,
we well, we play a game every day called head
or miss, right where producers here comes to the table
with a couple of topics for us. And yesterday one
of her topics for headle miss was making eye contact
with people in the car next to you.

Speaker 2 (26:17):
And I said, you can't go too long or else.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
It gets weird quidqu But I don't mind you probably
have a crash.

Speaker 3 (26:24):
Yeah, I don't mind giving someone a cheeky little glance
in a little wave from time to time.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Yeah, do you do you reckon? You engage in some
pretty strong eye contact.

Speaker 3 (26:32):
Yeah, I'm not opposed to why content. I don't mind
it at all, actually steering into someone's baby blues.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
You know, I personally never found romance from making d
or you know, like having an encounter with someone in
their car. I'd say the closest thing I've had is
a passive agressive note saying you're parking is a trasho.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
And also you're steering at me was creeping me out,
you widow. But it did get us thinking about has
this sexually happened to someone where maybe a cheeky little
glance in the CARNIXX to you is actually turned into something.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
You said that something happened to when he would be.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
Strings we were driving along the Wellington Motorway. This would
have been I reckon tenas years ago when we were
living in Wellington.

Speaker 1 (27:16):
And when they had tended in. No, no, maybe was
it just coming.

Speaker 3 (27:21):
On, Maybe it was just coming out, But no, I
don't think we did actually insied dating dot coda insid
We had that all.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
Right, okay, so paint the package. The Wellington Motway.

Speaker 3 (27:32):
And we were stuck at stopped at the lights at
one point and we looked over into the car nex
so I saik it was two guys and they were
both pretty easy on the eye. My best friend Jackie,
who was single at the time, thought that guy's a
bit of me. And we thought, you know, you got
to shoot your shots sometimes, you know. So we got
a piece of paper we wrote her number and put

(27:53):
it up on the wedd screen and we were pointing
to Jackie and the guys in the cart were it
Noah laughing? And then the guy that she was key
got his phone out and took her number down, and
that starting a full on teach conversation. They went on,
I think two dates. Wow, Yeah, I didn't go any

(28:13):
further than there. I mean, she's engaged to someone else now,
but you know, two dates from this.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
That's a good outcome encounter and direction. I'll wait hundred
of the hats to join the show. Our best caller
will when hal pazzaboutscha? Did you have romance as a
result of making eye contact with someone in a car?
So maybe there was a number involved that was on
like a sign, because that's the old way of like

(28:42):
hooking up.

Speaker 2 (28:44):
The old still turn down? Did you meet someone from
a car? And direction?

Speaker 1 (29:19):
We wanted to know on the phones this afternoon on
eight hundred The Hats, Did you have a romantic flag
after an interaction with someone in a vehicle? Maybe it
was gazing across at the traffic lights and you ended
up communicating in some way. Maybe it was from the
age old number on the back of the car. We

(29:40):
want to hear about your car romance. On eight one
hundred The Hats. Nicole is joining us first out behind Nicole.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
Hey, Holley, good, what happens? What happened?

Speaker 5 (29:53):
Nicole?

Speaker 9 (29:54):
I'm sorry. So my parents they met at a traffic light.
So my mum and dad they pulled up in separate cars,
and my dad she fancied my mum's friend. Yeah, so
as creepy as a sound, they followed them and then

(30:16):
they managed to have a chat to them, and then
my dad realized he actually liked my mum, and then
they got married and they've been married ever since.

Speaker 3 (30:26):
Nicole, is your mom still friends with the woman that
your dad initially fancy that a little bit of not
to be honest, that's so funny. Brilliant story, brilliant story.
So you are the result of a traffic light basically.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
Yeah, pretty much the traffic light, baby.

Speaker 9 (30:47):
I wouldn't be here if it was a green one.

Speaker 1 (30:49):
You're true, true, I thank you so much for your corner.
Cole's gone to eighty hundred of hats. You had a
romance after a car director of What Happens.

Speaker 4 (30:59):
I was in the drive through at a Wendy's many
many years, the best place to be on a Friday night,
and there was a guy in the car behind me,
and just as a joke, I signed out my number
to him, just like using my hands, thinking he didn't
really know what I was doing. And then he called me.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
He was and we.

Speaker 4 (31:21):
Did go on a date, but it wasn't for us,
but she became really good friends and he was a
good friend of mine for years after all.

Speaker 3 (31:29):
Say Amy, he was he was eager beaver then to
pick up on the signals and he was ready to rumble.

Speaker 4 (31:36):
It was pretty clear.

Speaker 1 (31:37):
But yeah, I just love how she's like well, it
started in a Wendy's drive through.

Speaker 2 (31:43):
Sul Mady and PJ.

Speaker 5 (31:49):
Mady and PJ the podcast, The Heads, the pe Pool's Poll,
the pet Pole's Pole, everybody comes together, it's the pet
Pools Pole.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
We do the People's Pole on the show every day
and yesterday I've actually asked you to text through any
suggestions for people's pole topics, and we got a goody.

Speaker 3 (32:07):
Nicole messaged us and said my husband and I were
having a discussion about sandwiches while I was making the
kids lunches. She said, I made a simple veggiemite sandwich
and buttered both pieces of bread and then put veggiemi
on one side. He said, it should just be buttering
veggiemie on one piece of bread with nothing on the

(32:27):
other piece. I think you butter both slices of bread
and then put them together. So the question for the
people's pole today to butter or not to butter both
pieces of bread and a sandwich.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Okay, I'm just one size most of the time.

Speaker 1 (32:44):
Okay, unless you're doing a toasty, you have to do
butter both sides.

Speaker 3 (32:49):
Yeah, that's more of a functional thing because it helps
to like not stick together.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah that's true.

Speaker 3 (32:55):
Yeah, I don't know, I mean, but it just really
adds to a sandwich, right, it does. So if you're
if butter is so good, and I know, like everything
in moderation, right, but if you're making a sandwich, why
not enjoy the thing that brings you.

Speaker 1 (33:11):
Joy, didn't you go to a boogie sandwich by yesterday?
You notice that they buttered both sides.

Speaker 3 (33:17):
Yeah, so this is like a build your own sandwich place.
And so I figure if this is their bread and butter,
So if this is their main crust, bye do comedy mate.
I don't know, honestly, then they know what they're talking about.
And if they're buttering both pieces of bread, I'm sticking

(33:40):
with them.

Speaker 2 (33:41):
I know I'm going one piece.

Speaker 1 (33:43):
Like if we're gonna go down the middle here and
we have to be decisive, I'm gonna say you only
butter one slice of bread and a sandwich. But what
do the people of New Zealand think? On Today's People's Whole?
You can text through a four full eight seven or
go away in on our Instagram page The head Drive
with Maddy and Peter, Maddy and PJ.

Speaker 2 (34:06):
Mady and Pj.

Speaker 3 (34:07):
The podcast that the Beepool's Pole, the bee Pole's Pole,
Everybody comes together, It's the People's Poll.

Speaker 1 (34:14):
Okay, we didn't come up with today's topic. We actually
got a lovely text in yesterday from Nicole.

Speaker 3 (34:21):
Nicole yes her and her husband were having a debate
while she was making the kids lunch. She was buttering
both sides of the sandwich, both pieces of bread, and
he said, no, no, no, you only need to do one
piece of.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
Bread, which I would tend to opt with that side.
I would say that is the stock standard way of
making a sandwich. However, prove me wrong, New Zealand, because
the text machines is.

Speaker 3 (34:42):
Otherwise overwhelmingly the text machine says you've got to do both.
Someone said, butter both sides for sure. It's also a
waterproofing layer. They're to avoid the dreaded dog doggy sandwich,
soggy soggy sandwich.

Speaker 1 (34:56):
Yeah, there'd be the old soggy. Someone said what sort
of food heathens live out there? Butter both sides like
a normal person.

Speaker 3 (35:02):
Yes, Geza said both bread, butter filling butter bread. It
doesn't matter which way up you eat it, then it's
the same both ways.

Speaker 2 (35:11):
I kind of agree with this.

Speaker 1 (35:12):
It was a spread light peanut butter, just one side,
but with fillings like tomatoes, ham, lettuce.

Speaker 2 (35:16):
Oh no, actually no, maybe the other way anyway.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
Thank you for your suggestions, overwhelmingly saying most people butter
both sides of their bread.

Speaker 3 (35:26):
Yeah, although if I take the results from the text
machine and our Instagram pole, which you can find on
the hits drive on Instagram. It's sixty percent say both,
forty percent say only you know you only need to
butter one side.

Speaker 1 (35:41):
Okay, but it's still both. Is like got a significantly
twenty seconds. Well, thank you for your votes for today's
People's Pole. If you've got any great suggestions for tomorrow,
now is your chance to text through four for eight seven.

Speaker 2 (35:56):
Mady and PJ.

Speaker 5 (35:58):
Mady and PJ the podcast.

Speaker 1 (36:03):
Mess and producers Sarah is in the studio to throw
out a few topics. We cannot be into sizes to
sit on the fence. We had some way in with
a hat or a mess.

Speaker 8 (36:14):
Okay. Question one if you get if you order something
and it's spicy than you thought, do you still eat it?

Speaker 7 (36:20):
Mess?

Speaker 2 (36:22):
I love spice asking the wrong person.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
Every now and then I will have something where I go, Oh,
it was a bit hotter than I would have liked,
but I will still eat it.

Speaker 2 (36:34):
We like spices. Oh my god, it was so funny.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
That's a video on our Instagram or Facebook, the driving
medi and pager.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
You can see many trying to do.

Speaker 1 (36:48):
A weather report after ingesting one of the highest levels
of spice.

Speaker 2 (36:54):
Initially you were like, this is all good, This is
all good.

Speaker 3 (36:56):
Totally change its because it takes a bit of time
to come on.

Speaker 2 (37:00):
Yeah, yeah, was that the worst spice you had? I have.

Speaker 3 (37:04):
I ate this world's second oldest chili once on breakfast
and I took quite a big bite out of it.
And then as soon as I did it on TV,
he was like no, no, no, no, no no no no,
just to like a a nibble and then what happened?
My like throats had to close over.

Speaker 2 (37:20):
I were you live TV?

Speaker 3 (37:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (37:23):
Live?

Speaker 3 (37:23):
Yeah, live TV?

Speaker 2 (37:24):
Yeah? Did milk help?

Speaker 7 (37:25):
Like?

Speaker 2 (37:25):
What do you reckon? Is the best option?

Speaker 3 (37:27):
Yeah? Milk? Milk is pretty good. You kind of do.
Just have to like breathe it out though, Yeah, I
had it outright.

Speaker 8 (37:34):
Listen back to your voice messages once you've sent.

Speaker 3 (37:37):
Them mess mess mess I probably use would have used to,
but like we're talking on the radio now, No one,
I don't need to hear this again. Yeah no, And
I'm not a big I hate like voice notes and stuff.
I don't enjoy sending them, so once I'm sent them,
I'm like, I don't want to deal with this ever again.

Speaker 1 (37:58):
What about watching videos? That you have shared to your
online social media.

Speaker 3 (38:05):
I'll do it once you do it, like thuishy time.

Speaker 10 (38:08):
We hear it, we hear it, play it, Okay.

Speaker 8 (38:19):
Mixing different chocolate flavors like having dark and milk and
one miss may like, well, I know you don't like
you don't like white chocolate. I've asked you that before
and it's like too sweet.

Speaker 3 (38:32):
I don't love it, but I will wear either.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
You know, there's.

Speaker 8 (38:35):
Flavors that you can get, like top Deck and it
has milk and white.

Speaker 3 (38:39):
I know i'd want them separate.

Speaker 2 (38:40):
Okay, No, that's same. I think if I broke, don't
fox up.

Speaker 3 (38:47):
You really need to think about what the saying was.

Speaker 1 (38:50):
I just think we got it good. You got the
milk that dark. Well on the individual basis, don't ruin it.

Speaker 2 (38:57):
Don't do a good thing.

Speaker 3 (38:58):
What's your favorite like obviously it's not white. Prefer like
milk chocolate or dark chocolate.

Speaker 1 (39:03):
I mean dark for my health if I'm answering to
my health perspectives. But my absolute achilles heel is the
milky caramel Witkers.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
Oh yeah, it is a milky camel. You know the caramel.
What I'm talking about. It's just top tier. You can't
beat it.

Speaker 3 (39:16):
I'm definitely getting a block on the way hand many
in the podcast.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
That's
