Cheeky Thursday in which I've honestly been sitting here for
the last four hours of the show going. Man, I
could do a Margie right now.

I'm actually really proud of myself. I've actually not been tempted.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Well, you got through two days in Marlborough where we
were being tempted with wine.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
It was the ultimate taste. And I was only like
a week and a half into Sober to October. I
did that and it was like, hey, do you want
to do a wad testing? Hey you've got a wine
on the boat. Hey do you want gin tasting? I
was like, sorry, guys, I count no.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Good for you like that?
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Are you cute?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah? It's just such a good thing to be able to.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
You know, we are very reliant on it in this
country often, and so reliant It is a really nice
thing to step away and to be able to do
it and to kind of prove to yourself that you
can do it right.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Well, I tried to prove to myself at the beginning
of the year and I felt short. Remember when I don't.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Remember what did I do?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I call it?
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Was it not?

It was something like that sober Junuary? Yeah, something like that,
and I fell short one day.

real salty rem many you.

There is a genuinely app question for what I was asking.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
No. I in all honestly, I don't like I love
a little bit of salt, but I I don't want
salt with every sip that I take.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Oh I do. I love it when it's salty, Yeah,

But we have a long singing gag on our podcast
about David. You not this podcast, my other podcast that

Speaker 1 (03:57):
My other podcasts at the Gate, give it a little
shot out.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Out the Gate and yeah, he's like, you know you
just you get those like running gags sometimes he's Savin
Yukio is a running gag on our podcast.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Right, Okay, I wonder if we to get proper shut
we might have. It's fun. As I did a boxing
fight once when I Love You won. Did you see
(04:31):
my opponent? She definitely let me win. Really, her name
was Tylor Harris, AFL women's player also professional boxer. She
could have taken me out with one punch, but like
it was for charity, and I think she felt sorry
for me, so she let me win.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
All right? Were you was going my hardest.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Like hardest, and I do all these actions to one
of her movements, did you Yeah? Yeah it was. I
loved the train experience, but the fight just I don't know,
it's such a blur. It's such a blur. Once you're
in the ring.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
I got asked to do fight for life once and
you didn't do it. No, No, And I'll do lots
of I would put my hand up for lots of things.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
But getting in a ring and.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Putting boxing gloves on and hitting another guy or being hit, No, it.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Just doesn't do it for you.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
No, it really scares me. And I know sometimes it's
like you should do the thing that scares you, but
it just.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
It's okay, it's not for everyone. Yeah, I just liked
their junior along the way.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah, I would love to train. I would.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, I think you love the training. Yeah, because I
was to be honest, if I knew that she was
really going to smeke go hard, I would have been scared.
I wanted it anyway. Okay. Coming up on the podcast,
we talk about what purchase you made without even saying it,
Like what massive thing did you buy but you didn't
(05:58):
even see it or you didn't even research at all?
Calas purchase.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
We also have a chat about your whole ball that's cut,
your hall party that's coming up in the community.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah, this is a messive thing in the country, well
at least where I live.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Well, you asked the question is around the country, lots
of lots of towns do them nothing like a.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Small town whole party, it goes off. So anyway, it's
planted the seat and we need to do something with that.
And we also talked about how many times you've broken
up with your partner. That has so much more coming
up on the podcast. The podcast, Matthew McLain, I and
(06:41):
the people of New Zealand need an update about your
interaction last night with one of New Zealand's greatest all blacks.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
So I said on the show yesterday that Christian Cullen
and I have history. When I was eleven, my best
friend at primary school, her family won a competition to
have two all black it's come around to their house
for dinner. Christian Cullen and Andrew Murden's Legions Legions. So
I had an entire evening with them. We had dinner
together at my best friend's house. I said, told you
(07:11):
they have.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
We're gone back. I mean we're talking nineteen ninety seven, ok.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Inevitably arose, I can't even remember what I had for
dinner last night, page so but what But I do
remember that we played the card game Ka's and a's
Christian Cullen taught us how to play, and it's this
core memory for me and I've always wanted to know
does he remember this experience? And last night I went
to the celebrity Trees of Island launch party for the
(07:39):
new season which he is on. Yes, so I thought,
this is my moment I can ask him.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Soybody, Tex tens of small talk for you yesterday because
he wrote not the best.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Not the greatest. But I was, I was, honestly, I
was ready to go. Someone said he's Christians known as
the Pi Kakadiki Express.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
He's got four kids. That sus and gave me all
of this background information. So I was like, I'm good
to go. I'm ready. So walk in these cars.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Producer Sarah's there and she's she's ready with her phone.
She's going to film the interaction. And I was so
excited to like talk about it today. And I'm looking
around for him. I see all of these people that
are on the show. I see came else to Boloni,
I see Duncan Ghana, I see Suzann Paul, I see Lancevali,
the hoster is there. Yes, is Christian Cullen anywhere to be?
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Seen.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
No, he is the one contestant who did not turn
up to the launch party last night.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
No, I do think he heard us talk about it.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
When I'm not hanging out with this creep. I'm out
of here.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
All this is such a disappointment. I'm so excited.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
So I am desperate to try and get Christian on
the show. He's an elusive man. We're trying. We've got
feelers out. But if anyone has a link to Christian Cullen,
if anyone thinks they can get us to Christian so
that we can once and for all put this to rest.
I'd love to know text through to four four eight seven.
It's New Zealand, there's got to be six someone someone
knows them.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah, we're Christian Coloren. All right, texts four for eight
seven with any of your.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Intel many and to podcast.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
You know, Maddie, I get sucked into a good headline.
And I saw the seedline last night and it said
no address, no photos, no price, Agents selling mystery South
Auckland house. And I thought, hanging about how does that work?
So an Auckland realized that agent and has been noors
have decided to sell a place in South Auckland with
(09:38):
very few details. There are no listing photos for the
three bedroom house and no address. Interested buyers have been
told to register for a one off private tour of
the property on the tenth of September and then your
tale tour guide will be provide will provide sorry personalized
insights and answer any questions during the tour. It's all
(09:59):
very sterious. In fact, the listing promises a mystery box experience,
so literally, I think if you see like the picture,
it's literally like a box. If you look online, it
really doesn't show much.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
But I love it.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Because they basically what they're trying to do is do
something to capture people's attention. You've got to get creative
these days. And they were thinking about like the ten
dollar mystery boxes where you can get from like the
pharmacy or whatever, and they're like, what if we just
did that with a house.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Yeah, except work, Except a house is a far bigger
purchase to make. And I don't know about you, but
I want to know what the house looks like that
I'm buy.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I know, but there really is something about a mystery
box that makes you curious, like there's something in it
where you're like, oh, am I going to get really
good being for my buck here? Is there going to
be like one hundred bucks worth in this ten dollar box?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I mean it's risky, but it also could really, as
you say, really pay off. It could get a lot
of people through the door that might not necessarily go
through it.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
What it's got me, Its got me talking about it
on the radio. I got hooked, hooked, line and sinker.
But it did get me thinking, have you purchased something
pretty important? Like I'm not talking a small purchase here,
I'm talking something pretty significant, worth a lot of money?
Did you purchase it without even seeing it or with
(11:24):
very little research? I'll wait a hundred the hit so
you can text four four eight seven.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Have you ever done this?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Matthew Plane.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I'm a very I'm a very sensible shopper, and I
don't I honestly don't. I don't like spending a lot
of money, So I'm very safe and sensible with my money.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
My husband, on the other.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Hand, frivolless as all get out, you know, really, yes,
and Ryan is very into his horses, very like spent
his whole whole life riding horses, rode and professionally traveled over.
He's riding horses and a few years ago he bought
a horse without even seeing it in the flesh.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Oh my god, But like, surely that's one of those
things that you need to get.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
No. He says he knows horses so.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Well that he was able to tell whether that that
this was going to be a horse, and to his credit,
it has paid off.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
This is a very good horse he's bought. But I
did think that's.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Risky or really you want to see this horse before
you buy it?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Okay, So to join the show, Oh, eight hundred the hats.
We've got some helps of archers up for grabs. What
massive purchase did you make without either seeing it or
doing any research on it? We want to hear those
impulsive big purchases the podcast. We're talking big purchases that
(12:51):
you made without even either seeing the product or doing
any research for it. You're like, I want it. I
got it pretty much much. I'll like one hundreds of hats.
To join the show, you can take four for eight seven.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Rochelle has called up. Hi, Rochelle, Hi.
Speaker 7 (13:08):
How are you good? It's funny story. I actually went
out to purchase coat hangers for my newborn's room and
I ended up with a barbecue.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
That's a very common occurrence.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
But how can you talk to me how you got
from cos to the barbecue?
Speaker 7 (13:29):
A good old might ten to you. So walked I've
got the coat hangers, and I was walking Papa, Well,
there's a bit of a we don't have a barbecue.
It's a bit of a sale. So I had a
bit of a nosey someone that I must and I
was like, oh, have someone would like that? So I
bought all. My regamen said I bought a barbecue, and
he was like.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I feel like that's a purchase. Your husband would really
want to be with you. Barbecue without j who would
not be heavy.
Speaker 7 (13:59):
You know, the pressure, the mints on the drive home.
But we still have said barbecue.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
H u R great, I love it.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
All's go to Jenny on our head of the high Jenny, Hi, Hi,
what did you purchase without seeing it?
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Well, my husband and I we really wanted a rush
stage three month sang and there was one for sale
in the state. We didn't want to miss out on it.
We didn't get over there to view it, so we
took the vendors word for it. We saw some pictures
of it, and then so purchased it online and then
we went over there to collect it. It was awesome.
(14:41):
It was it lived up to you know what they
told us about it, and we put on about three
thousand miles straight away in the first week. We drove
it from Chicago down to La Wow.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
That's that would have been a nerve wrecking trap on
the flight over. I can have edit.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, because I don't know a lot about cars, Genny,
but I'm picking the Mustangs.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Ain't cheese?
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (15:07):
Yeah, Well it was a stage three rush, so that
sort of put the price up a bit. It's probably
about New Zealand dollars, ninety thousand dollars. So yeah, it
was a bit of a gamble, but it paid off.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
It paid off.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I paid off, went love to hear it. Oh hey,
thanks so much. You called, Genny. We've got a little help.
Peaks about your coming away. Awesome.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Someone sicks into fourth for eight. So when we were
house hunting and my husband was away when I found
the perfect house, but had an offer coming in that night,
so we ended up buying it without him.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
See it was so baldy.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
What if he hated that? Obviously paid off we're obviously
loving it.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I love the gall like I just love the gumption
that someone would be able to do that I could never.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
I could never.
Speaker 8 (15:54):
Mary J. Mady and PJ the podcast The Heads.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I made a fatal floor today page. So I went
for a walk with my dog Otis, and I needed
to get a couple of things from the supermarket.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Yes, And so I thought, I'm gonna walk.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I'll kill two boots with one stone, I'll get the
dog out for a walk, and I'll go and.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Get the groceries.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
And I took with me just one bag, one bag,
because I thought, all I need is two things. I
need some olive oil and I need some peanut butter.
And then I got to the supermarket and I was
walking around, and you know this fatal thing.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
You went hungry, didn't you.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yes, And then I went, oh and I did need this, Oh,
and I did need this, and also I could do
with this, and also just.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Me every time I go to the supermarket.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
And then I didn't even think about the fact that,
of course, then all I've got is one bag, and
I've also got a dog with a lead, and I've
still got a three k walk home. So I am
walking home and it didn't all fit in the bag.
So I'm carrying one bag filled to the broom and
(17:04):
it's so heavy.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Then I've got a thing of milk.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I needed milk, So I've got the milk tucked under
my other armpit and otis on a lead. And it
was a night me at the walk home took me
twice as long as I've walked to the supermarket because
I had to keep stalls.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I swear I had the same conversation every time with
the people at the SAP market and I'm like, oh
my gosh, I just didn't come prepare, did I know?
Speaker 3 (17:26):
I was.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I came in for you're right, just some oil and
some fruit and some bread, but no, here I am.
I'm so sorry. Yes, could I have the paper bag?
And then I'll try and stuck the paper bag up
as much as I can and they're like, oh, I
want to have a solid grip underneath that. Yes, And
then I wake and do you know how many times
I've waked out in the bag's broken? I know I
never learned. I'm like, no, no, no, I know the
(17:47):
strength of the bag. I can get to the When
will we learn it?

And every week we pack a new occupation. You've just
got to call us oh one hundred of the heads
and convince us this week that you are a real
estate agent. And then Maddie and I, with our brains combined,
we'll work out if you're lying, we're telling the truth.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
The thing about it is when we started this, Peter
and I were so confident we we we can sniff
out whether you're telling.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
The truth or not from a mile away.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I often like think, Okay, what my gut's telling me
is often the opposite.
Speaker 3 (18:47):

With my gut instincts, this week we would have got
three out of three, but there's.
Speaker 8 (22:46):
Okay, podcast.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
Pretty exciting times in the community at the moment. Made
I obviously live rural in the gorgeous region of wide
it Up. And I'll tell you what, I've learned a
lot of things since moving really because obviously I lived
in the city in another life. And there is one
thing that is on the calendar every year, and it's
(23:13):
coming up soon for our local Mount Bruce Hall and
that is the annual hall party. So most years there
is like a little shindig at our local hall. And
I tell you what, the effort and the planning that
goes into these little parties is amazing and the community spirit,
(23:38):
you cannot beat it.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
You're calling it a little party. Now, I don't know
anything about.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Community hall balls or.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Parties, but I'm imagining there ain't anything little about it.
Speaker 9 (23:50):
Peach.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Yeah, that's the thing, like when country people get together
and this is their one moment of the year. It
ain't little, but it is so fun and it's something
that I'd never really been exposed to it up until
a few years ago. Right now it's like become a norm.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I don't know anything about these, So is this literally
the whole community gets involved and comes along a lot
of the community.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Yeah, Like you get sent out an email and it's like, right,
tickets for sale. Okay, guys come on last minute tickets
and the money goes back into the hole. And then
you know, it just has like a real feel good
vibe to it and people are in there and they
have like food and drinks and then like they'll put
on like even do fall on wall decorations and they'll
do like folks. I don't know if this is regular
(24:33):
for all holes around the country, but I feel like
our local hall goes above and beyond.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Bring a plate? Is it a bring a plate kind
of a situation?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Sometimes it depends on the theme. The theme this year
is sixty five years of film and music?
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Okay, do you know what you're going to dress up?
Speaker 6 (24:49):
Is?
Speaker 2 (24:49):
No?
Speaker 1 (24:50):
I don't.
Speaker 7 (24:50):

Speaker 1 (24:51):
We're always really bad. We're actually really bad at arevping,
but we will You're gold. Yeah, We've got to go.
We've got to go. It's the end of the year.
I can't believe because I feel like you're missing out.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
I'm told I would love to go to a hall ball.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
I would love to know if where I live this
is you know, a rarity, or if other halls around
the country and small towns and rural areas go as
hard as the Mount Bruce region. Text four for eight seven.
Give a little shout out to your local hall and
let us know the best party you've been to at
(25:28):
a local hall, because I feel like, Maynie, you haven't been.
I feel like we need to bring this onto the
map and get everyone involved.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
I need to get I've got Mayacubra, I've got the
swan dry. I need to get myself to a hallball
a set.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Okay, So the best party you've been to at a
small town slash country hall Text four for eight seven
the podcast. Hey, I was talking earlier in the show
that we're coming up to the biggest of be on
the social calendar and our local community. The whole party
(26:05):
is coming up is I think it's usually every September.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
This is such a novel unique thing for me. I
don't really know about these.
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Well, that's exactly the same as me. Like when I
moved to the country, I'd never heard of these hall parties,
and then I got here and I was like, this
is great. What a great way to get the community spirit,
What a great way for everyone to have a bit
of a blower, get together and just appreciate the fine
architecture of the local hall.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
But you kind of wondered, is this just a Mount
Bruce thing? Like is this a thing that happens all
around the country.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
Yeah, So we wanted to know the best parties you've
been to at small town or country halls. Five Forks
and Codu Hill Bulls epic some of the biggest nights
of our lives, a whole lot of fun. Someone says
Roxborough Hole or Roxboro Hole.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
Yeah, winter ball there something I said. Rural hall and
Wolsheed parties are definitely a thing. Had my fiftieth in
the Walls sheet a couple of months ago and it
went off, what.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
About this on we a hole in the tutadoa having
a ball next weekend? Masquerade mask is the theme. It
was a banger last year for the pals in hand.
I reckon, we've got to do something on this, like
really go like all ours and make it the biggest
ball out a small hall.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
I I do love that idea because.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
I want to know where we start. But I think
we just start putting the feelers out.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
I want to go. I want to go to a
hall ball.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Okay, watch this space and yeah, we've got some work
to all.
Speaker 8 (27:36):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and PJ the podcast that.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Katy Perry is doing the Rounds at the moment doing
a bit of publicity head of her new album. It's
called one four three and it's coming out very soon
and she has got quite Candid on a podcast over
in the States, talking about how she and her fiance
Orlando Bloom actually split up for a year a while back,
quite a while back, I think it was twenty seventeen.
(28:02):
For a year they took time apart, and she's opened
up more about it, just basically saying he actually went
away on a week's retreat and he really found himself,
and he sort of came back with all of these
great communication, new forms of communication, and he was just
kind of on a different wavelength and she had this
(28:23):
to say, hey, listen.
Speaker 10 (28:24):
So he went there and then he came back and
he wasn't like playing this cat mouse game anymore with me,
and I was like, this is boring. I'm moving on
because I'm so used. I was so used to this,
like push Paul, because I was like, once you have it,
then you're like I was playing games. It's addicting. Yeaheah,
I was playing games because it was a dopamine.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Hit, right.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
So he came back was like probably quite committed, and
she was like, I don't know, we're actually ready for those.
So they took like a year off and they broke up,
and then she ended up going to do the retreat
for like a week and then she was like, oh wow.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Oh wow, I get it out. He did have some
good thoughts actually.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah, and then they got back together. But I got
me that gig. I feel like there's always those couples
that break up and then they get back together, and
then they break up, and as friends of them, it's
really awkward because once they're broken up, you want to
be like, you're so much better, you can do so
much better than him, and then get together you're like, well,
(29:21):
I can't say anything, I've got a player.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Sad. Yeah, then you're the a hole that slagged them off.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
I'm you and Ryan have always stayed together.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're like glue.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
And who can be bothered dating anymore? But I did.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I did see a guy once for a couple of
We went on a few dates and it was really lovely,
but I was also I were on a couple of
dates with another guy at the same time. You know,
I was playing the field, and I thought I feel
a stronger connection to the other guy. So I left
that and then that was that.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
That was fine.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
We'd only to dates and then I saw like a
year later and we ran into each other at a
coffee shop and we got talking and headed off again and.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Then start day again.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Yeah, and we dated for about eight months, almost a year.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Yeah, Oh what I know?
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Okay, Well, I want to open the phones up this afternoon.
Oh eight hundred the hats, so you can text four
for eight seven? How many times have you and your
partner broken up? And are you still together? We're already
getting ticks saying broke up four times? What a miss?
Well and truly over ten times, but we were together
for twenty years before we finally caught it, quirtz, So
can you join the conversation on eight hundred the hats?
(30:35):
How many times have you broken up with your partner?
Let's see the most yes that we can find this afternoon.

Potentially?
Speaker 8 (30:49):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and PJ the podcast The Heads.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
We're talking couples that have broken up, got bat together,
broken up, got back together. Do you know sometimes it's
nice to know that, you know, couples can break up
in this hope that they can get back together. I
think it's like, oh cool, they got through that. You
know they came through the other side. They got through.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Adversity, absolutely, But then there's also the flip side, which
is like it was just a little.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Bit messy and you shouldn't be together.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Well, look open minded, we aren't judging anything. Open up
the phones. Wait, one hundred hats Stiff is joining us

partner break up?

the best for the future.

Or are you like no, no, no, we're definitely getting
We got this.

Speaker 2 (33:56):
People's Poll, everybody comes together.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
It's the People's polled, all right.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
We do People's Poll every day on the show. Sometimes. No,
it's not really hard hitting, is I always say that,
But it's not. It's mostly trivial, mostly relatable questions on
daily life issues. Really, And today we're heading to the
dining room.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
We are well, we're hitting in the dinnery vicinity because
we you and I have spoken about this on the
show before, actually, the fact that you and I would love,
love love to get our families or our partners around
the dining room table and eat dinner together and have
that like nice bonding time.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Right, Yes, I think just with the time I get
back from work, and often BJ has rugby training, and
like just I don't know, just that we just can't
quite make it work that we're all around the table
at night. But I really want to make it a
family routine of us sitting down at the table, being mindful,
talking about our peaks and our trot tross peaks and
(34:55):
our troughs of the day, not trufughs. I just think
it's a really nice, nice practice to have. But do
we do it.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
No.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
I'll eat on the bench, I'll eat on the couch.
I'll sometimes eat on the table, but I might not
even spend my whole time there. I just feel like
I'm always on the go.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
We I remember vividly us going to a really nice
furniture store and picking out a lovely dining room table,
which I've got to say wasn't cheap. It was not
a cheap table, and many times if you used next to.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Never, oh, you should sell it, you really should.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
I know.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
But then we'd have like a big empty past part
of our living room.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
So beanbags maybe. Okay. So the question is today, do
you have dinner at the dinner table most nights? Obviously,
weekends and like stuff like that. Yeah, maybe doesn't count
the odd night obviously, but most of the time are
you having dinner at the table or elsewhere? Text through
four four eight seven, or you can weigh in on
(35:50):
our Instagram story. We'll put the pole up every day
the Hats Drive, where the Maddie and PJ will come

Speaker 4 (35:59):
Maddie and PJ Mady and PJ the Podcast, The Heads,
The Deep Pol's Poll, the Big Pole's Poll, everybody comes together,
it's the Big Poles Pole.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
All right, we're asking today other people's pole. Do you
have dinner at the dinner table most nights. I just
got a phone call from the husband saying, we eat
at the dinner table, and I was like, what, no,
we don't. He goes, well, I would edit the dinner
table if you didn't try and make me talk emotional.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Come on, how are you? How are you?
Speaker 1 (36:28):
How are you really feeling?
Speaker 2 (36:29):

Speaker 3 (36:32):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
I am surprised at how many people are still it's
setting at the dinner table every night. I actually love it.
I think it's a really good thing.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
On the text machine. It is almost a whitewash curse.
This is at the dinner table every time. It's always
been this way. My kids like it. They talk about
their day and it's a great time for our family
to connect. Someone else said, dinner at the table and no.
Screens don't have many rules, but this is one of them.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
That's a good one. Someone said, not at the table together.
As have to cook three different meals because we have
four kids to have allergy, save their own meal, one
is vegan, and then the ed ulp meal save me.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
Yeah, that's a lot.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
All right, let's go to the findes. Michelle, are you
on a weigh on on this? Are you a table goer?
Speaker 11 (37:12):
We are a table family. Yes, great.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
I love it well for us as well for any reason, Michelle,
what do you love about it?
Speaker 11 (37:19):
Do you just get a chance to connect with the kids,
find out about the day. We talk about all sorts
of things at the dinner table, so the kids they
can weigh in with their opinions and it's kind of
like a safe space to talk about stuff and yeahs
as a family, not just the perments making the decisions
all the time.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Love that, Michelle.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
All right, let's wrap out with Steve and Navier. Get
I Steve, you're a big table fan.
Speaker 9 (37:47):
Yep, absolutely good.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
Yeah mate, every night, Steve.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Every night?
Speaker 9 (37:52):
Yeah, every night, every night. We fit that rule when
the kids were really young, and we all do it today.
They're only mid twenties, some of them have left home,
and we'll still do it if ruin it at that home.
It's just one thing we set. The biggest rule we
set was years ago. I got absolutely text off with
cell phones being at the table. I made a rule.
(38:13):
Anybody on their cell phone at the table has the
dude armed the laundry.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
The laundry. That is a great role. It reminds me
of boarding school. And we had to hand on our
phone and we went to bed at night and the
podcast

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Well, you got through two days in Marlborough where we
were being tempted with wine.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
It was the ultimate taste. And I was only like
a week and a half into Sober to October. I
did that and it was like, hey, do you want
to do a wad testing? Hey you've got a wine
on the boat. Hey do you want gin tasting? I
was like, sorry, guys, I count no.

Are you cute?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah? It's just such a good thing to be able to.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
You know, we are very reliant on it in this
country often, and so reliant It is a really nice
thing to step away and to be able to do
it and to kind of prove to yourself that you
can do it right.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Well, I tried to prove to myself at the beginning
of the year and I felt short. Remember when I don't.
Speaker 3 (01:12):

a little bit of salt, but I I don't want
salt with every sip that I take.

my opponent? She definitely let me win. Really, her name
was Tylor Harris, AFL women's player also professional boxer. She
could have taken me out with one punch, but like
it was for charity, and I think she felt sorry
for me, so she let me win.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
All right? Were you was going my hardest.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Like hardest, and I do all these actions to one
of her movements, did you Yeah? Yeah it was. I
loved the train experience, but the fight just I don't know,
it's such a blur. It's such a blur. Once you're
in the ring.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
I got asked to do fight for life once and
you didn't do it. No, No, And I'll do lots
of I would put my hand up for lots of things.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
But getting in a ring and.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Putting boxing gloves on and hitting another guy or being hit, No, it.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Just doesn't do it for you.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
No, it really scares me. And I know sometimes it's
like you should do the thing that scares you, but
it just.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
It's okay, it's not for everyone. Yeah, I just liked
their junior along the way.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
Yeah, I would love to train. I would.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Yeah, I think you love the training. Yeah, because I
was to be honest, if I knew that she was
really going to smeke go hard, I would have been scared.
I wanted it anyway. Okay. Coming up on the podcast,
we talk about what purchase you made without even saying it,
Like what massive thing did you buy but you didn't
(05:58):
even see it or you didn't even research at all?
Calas purchase.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
We also have a chat about your whole ball that's cut,
your hall party that's coming up in the community.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Yeah, this is a messive thing in the country, well
at least where I live.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Well, you asked the question is around the country, lots
of lots of towns do them nothing like a.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Small town whole party, it goes off. So anyway, it's
planted the seat and we need to do something with that.
And we also talked about how many times you've broken
up with your partner. That has so much more coming
up on the podcast. The podcast, Matthew McLain, I and
(06:41):
the people of New Zealand need an update about your
interaction last night with one of New Zealand's greatest all blacks.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
So I said on the show yesterday that Christian Cullen
and I have history. When I was eleven, my best
friend at primary school, her family won a competition to
have two all black it's come around to their house
for dinner. Christian Cullen and Andrew Murden's Legions Legions. So
I had an entire evening with them. We had dinner
together at my best friend's house. I said, told you
(07:11):
they have.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
We're gone back. I mean we're talking nineteen ninety seven, ok.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Inevitably arose, I can't even remember what I had for
dinner last night, page so but what But I do
remember that we played the card game Ka's and a's
Christian Cullen taught us how to play, and it's this
core memory for me and I've always wanted to know
does he remember this experience? And last night I went
to the celebrity Trees of Island launch party for the
(07:39):
new season which he is on. Yes, so I thought,
this is my moment I can ask him.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Soybody, Tex tens of small talk for you yesterday because
he wrote not the best.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Not the greatest. But I was, I was, honestly, I
was ready to go. Someone said he's Christians known as
the Pi Kakadiki Express.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
He's got four kids. That sus and gave me all
of this background information. So I was like, I'm good
to go. I'm ready. So walk in these cars.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Producer Sarah's there and she's she's ready with her phone.
She's going to film the interaction. And I was so
excited to like talk about it today. And I'm looking
around for him. I see all of these people that
are on the show. I see came else to Boloni,
I see Duncan Ghana, I see Suzann Paul, I see Lancevali,
the hoster is there. Yes, is Christian Cullen anywhere to be?
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Seen.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
No, he is the one contestant who did not turn
up to the launch party last night.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
No, I do think he heard us talk about it.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
When I'm not hanging out with this creep. I'm out
of here.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
All this is such a disappointment. I'm so excited.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
So I am desperate to try and get Christian on
the show. He's an elusive man. We're trying. We've got
feelers out. But if anyone has a link to Christian Cullen,
if anyone thinks they can get us to Christian so
that we can once and for all put this to rest.
I'd love to know text through to four four eight seven.
It's New Zealand, there's got to be six someone someone
knows them.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah, we're Christian Coloren. All right, texts four for eight
seven with any of your.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
Intel many and to podcast.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
You know, Maddie, I get sucked into a good headline.
And I saw the seedline last night and it said
no address, no photos, no price, Agents selling mystery South
Auckland house. And I thought, hanging about how does that work?
So an Auckland realized that agent and has been noors
have decided to sell a place in South Auckland with
(09:38):
very few details. There are no listing photos for the
three bedroom house and no address. Interested buyers have been
told to register for a one off private tour of
the property on the tenth of September and then your
tale tour guide will be provide will provide sorry personalized
insights and answer any questions during the tour. It's all
(09:59):
very sterious. In fact, the listing promises a mystery box experience,
so literally, I think if you see like the picture,
it's literally like a box. If you look online, it
really doesn't show much.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
But I love it.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Because they basically what they're trying to do is do
something to capture people's attention. You've got to get creative
these days. And they were thinking about like the ten
dollar mystery boxes where you can get from like the
pharmacy or whatever, and they're like, what if we just
did that with a house.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Yeah, except work, Except a house is a far bigger
purchase to make. And I don't know about you, but
I want to know what the house looks like that
I'm buy.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I know, but there really is something about a mystery
box that makes you curious, like there's something in it
where you're like, oh, am I going to get really
good being for my buck here? Is there going to
be like one hundred bucks worth in this ten dollar box?
Speaker 2 (10:54):
I mean it's risky, but it also could really, as
you say, really pay off. It could get a lot
of people through the door that might not necessarily go
through it.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
What it's got me, Its got me talking about it
on the radio. I got hooked, hooked, line and sinker.
But it did get me thinking, have you purchased something
pretty important? Like I'm not talking a small purchase here,
I'm talking something pretty significant, worth a lot of money?
Did you purchase it without even seeing it or with
(11:24):
very little research? I'll wait a hundred the hit so
you can text four four eight seven.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Have you ever done this?
Speaker 1 (11:31):
Matthew Plane.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I'm a very I'm a very sensible shopper, and I
don't I honestly don't. I don't like spending a lot
of money, So I'm very safe and sensible with my money.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
My husband, on the other.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Hand, frivolless as all get out, you know, really, yes,
and Ryan is very into his horses, very like spent
his whole whole life riding horses, rode and professionally traveled over.
He's riding horses and a few years ago he bought
a horse without even seeing it in the flesh.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
Oh my god, But like, surely that's one of those
things that you need to get.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
No. He says he knows horses so.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Well that he was able to tell whether that that
this was going to be a horse, and to his credit,
it has paid off.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
This is a very good horse he's bought. But I
did think that's.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Risky or really you want to see this horse before
you buy it?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Okay, So to join the show, Oh, eight hundred the hats.
We've got some helps of archers up for grabs. What
massive purchase did you make without either seeing it or
doing any research on it? We want to hear those
impulsive big purchases the podcast. We're talking big purchases that
(12:51):
you made without even either seeing the product or doing
any research for it. You're like, I want it. I
got it pretty much much. I'll like one hundreds of hats.
To join the show, you can take four for eight seven.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
Rochelle has called up. Hi, Rochelle, Hi.
Speaker 7 (13:08):
How are you good? It's funny story. I actually went
out to purchase coat hangers for my newborn's room and
I ended up with a barbecue.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
That's a very common occurrence.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
But how can you talk to me how you got
from cos to the barbecue?
Speaker 7 (13:29):
A good old might ten to you. So walked I've
got the coat hangers, and I was walking Papa, Well,
there's a bit of a we don't have a barbecue.
It's a bit of a sale. So I had a
bit of a nosey someone that I must and I
was like, oh, have someone would like that? So I
bought all. My regamen said I bought a barbecue, and
he was like.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
I feel like that's a purchase. Your husband would really
want to be with you. Barbecue without j who would
not be heavy.
Speaker 7 (13:59):
You know, the pressure, the mints on the drive home.
But we still have said barbecue.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
H u R great, I love it.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
All's go to Jenny on our head of the high Jenny, Hi, Hi,
what did you purchase without seeing it?
Speaker 6 (14:17):
Well, my husband and I we really wanted a rush
stage three month sang and there was one for sale
in the state. We didn't want to miss out on it.
We didn't get over there to view it, so we
took the vendors word for it. We saw some pictures
of it, and then so purchased it online and then
we went over there to collect it. It was awesome.
(14:41):
It was it lived up to you know what they
told us about it, and we put on about three
thousand miles straight away in the first week. We drove
it from Chicago down to La Wow.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
That's that would have been a nerve wrecking trap on
the flight over. I can have edit.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Yeah, because I don't know a lot about cars, Genny,
but I'm picking the Mustangs.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
Ain't cheese?
Speaker 4 (15:06):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (15:07):
Yeah, Well it was a stage three rush, so that
sort of put the price up a bit. It's probably
about New Zealand dollars, ninety thousand dollars. So yeah, it
was a bit of a gamble, but it paid off.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
It paid off.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I paid off, went love to hear it. Oh hey,
thanks so much. You called, Genny. We've got a little help.
Peaks about your coming away. Awesome.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Someone sicks into fourth for eight. So when we were
house hunting and my husband was away when I found
the perfect house, but had an offer coming in that night,
so we ended up buying it without him.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
See it was so baldy.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
What if he hated that? Obviously paid off we're obviously
loving it.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I love the gall like I just love the gumption
that someone would be able to do that I could never.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
I could never.
Speaker 8 (15:54):
Mary J. Mady and PJ the podcast The Heads.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I made a fatal floor today page. So I went
for a walk with my dog Otis, and I needed
to get a couple of things from the supermarket.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
Yes, And so I thought, I'm gonna walk.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I'll kill two boots with one stone, I'll get the
dog out for a walk, and I'll go and.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Get the groceries.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
And I took with me just one bag, one bag,
because I thought, all I need is two things. I
need some olive oil and I need some peanut butter.
And then I got to the supermarket and I was
walking around, and you know this fatal thing.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
You went hungry, didn't you.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Yes, And then I went, oh and I did need this, Oh,
and I did need this, and also I could do
with this, and also just.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Me every time I go to the supermarket.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
And then I didn't even think about the fact that,
of course, then all I've got is one bag, and
I've also got a dog with a lead, and I've
still got a three k walk home. So I am
walking home and it didn't all fit in the bag.
So I'm carrying one bag filled to the broom and
(17:04):
it's so heavy.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Then I've got a thing of milk.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
I needed milk, So I've got the milk tucked under
my other armpit and otis on a lead. And it
was a night me at the walk home took me
twice as long as I've walked to the supermarket because
I had to keep stalls.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
I swear I had the same conversation every time with
the people at the SAP market and I'm like, oh
my gosh, I just didn't come prepare, did I know?
Speaker 3 (17:26):
I was.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
I came in for you're right, just some oil and
some fruit and some bread, but no, here I am.
I'm so sorry. Yes, could I have the paper bag?
And then I'll try and stuck the paper bag up
as much as I can and they're like, oh, I
want to have a solid grip underneath that. Yes, And
then I wake and do you know how many times
I've waked out in the bag's broken? I know I
never learned. I'm like, no, no, no, I know the

estate agent. And then Maddie and I, with our brains combined,
we'll work out if you're lying, we're telling the truth.

out whether you're telling.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
The truth or not from a mile away.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
I often like think, Okay, what my gut's telling me
is often the opposite.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
Pretty exciting times in the community at the moment. Made
I obviously live rural in the gorgeous region of wide
it Up. And I'll tell you what, I've learned a
lot of things since moving really because obviously I lived
in the city in another life. And there is one
thing that is on the calendar every year, and it's
(23:13):
coming up soon for our local Mount Bruce Hall and
that is the annual hall party. So most years there
is like a little shindig at our local hall. And
I tell you what, the effort and the planning that
goes into these little parties is amazing and the community spirit,
(23:38):
you cannot beat it.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
You're calling it a little party. Now, I don't know
anything about.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
Community hall balls or.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
Parties, but I'm imagining there ain't anything little about it.
Speaker 9 (23:50):
Peach.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Yeah, that's the thing, like when country people get together
and this is their one moment of the year. It
ain't little, but it is so fun and it's something
that I'd never really been exposed to it up until
a few years ago. Right now it's like become a norm.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
I don't know anything about these, So is this literally
the whole community gets involved and comes along a lot
of the community.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Yeah, Like you get sent out an email and it's like, right,
tickets for sale. Okay, guys come on last minute tickets
and the money goes back into the hole. And then
you know, it just has like a real feel good
vibe to it and people are in there and they
have like food and drinks and then like they'll put
on like even do fall on wall decorations and they'll
do like folks. I don't know if this is regular
(24:33):
for all holes around the country, but I feel like
our local hall goes above and beyond.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Bring a plate? Is it a bring a plate kind
of a situation?

Sometimes it depends on the theme. The theme this year
is sixty five years of film and music?

What a great way for everyone to have a bit
of a blower, get together and just appreciate the fine
architecture of the local hall.

Yeah, winter ball there something I said. Rural hall and
Wolsheed parties are definitely a thing. Had my fiftieth in
the Walls sheet a couple of months ago and it
went off, what.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
About this on we a hole in the tutadoa having
a ball next weekend? Masquerade mask is the theme. It
was a banger last year for the pals in hand.
I reckon, we've got to do something on this, like
really go like all ours and make it the biggest
ball out a small hall.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
I I do love that idea because.
Speaker 1 (27:22):
I want to know where we start. But I think
we just start putting the feelers out.
Speaker 3 (27:26):
I want to go. I want to go to a
hall ball.
Speaker 1 (27:30):
Okay, watch this space and yeah, we've got some work
to all.
Speaker 8 (27:36):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and PJ the podcast that.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Katy Perry is doing the Rounds at the moment doing
a bit of publicity head of her new album. It's
called one four three and it's coming out very soon
and she has got quite Candid on a podcast over
in the States, talking about how she and her fiance
Orlando Bloom actually split up for a year a while back,
quite a while back, I think it was twenty seventeen.
(28:02):
For a year they took time apart, and she's opened
up more about it, just basically saying he actually went
away on a week's retreat and he really found himself,
and he sort of came back with all of these
great communication, new forms of communication, and he was just
kind of on a different wavelength and she had this
(28:23):
to say, hey, listen.
Speaker 10 (28:24):
So he went there and then he came back and
he wasn't like playing this cat mouse game anymore with me,
and I was like, this is boring. I'm moving on
because I'm so used. I was so used to this,
like push Paul, because I was like, once you have it,
then you're like I was playing games. It's addicting. Yeaheah,
I was playing games because it was a dopamine.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Hit, right.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
So he came back was like probably quite committed, and
she was like, I don't know, we're actually ready for those.
So they took like a year off and they broke up,
and then she ended up going to do the retreat
for like a week and then she was like, oh wow.
Speaker 3 (28:56):
Oh wow, I get it out. He did have some
good thoughts actually.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah, and then they got back together. But I got
me that gig. I feel like there's always those couples
that break up and then they get back together, and
then they break up, and as friends of them, it's
really awkward because once they're broken up, you want to
be like, you're so much better, you can do so
much better than him, and then get together you're like, well,
(29:21):
I can't say anything, I've got a player.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Sad. Yeah, then you're the a hole that slagged them off.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
I'm you and Ryan have always stayed together.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're like glue.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
And who can be bothered dating anymore? But I did.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
I did see a guy once for a couple of
We went on a few dates and it was really lovely,
but I was also I were on a couple of
dates with another guy at the same time. You know,
I was playing the field, and I thought I feel
a stronger connection to the other guy. So I left
that and then that was that.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
That was fine.
Speaker 2 (29:58):
We'd only to dates and then I saw like a
year later and we ran into each other at a
coffee shop and we got talking and headed off again and.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Then start day again.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
Yeah, and we dated for about eight months, almost a year.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
Yeah, Oh what I know?
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Okay, Well, I want to open the phones up this afternoon.
Oh eight hundred the hats, so you can text four
for eight seven? How many times have you and your
partner broken up? And are you still together? We're already
getting ticks saying broke up four times? What a miss?
Well and truly over ten times, but we were together
for twenty years before we finally caught it, quirtz, So
can you join the conversation on eight hundred the hats?
(30:35):
How many times have you broken up with your partner?
Let's see the most yes that we can find this afternoon.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
And did you stay broken up once and for all
after a certain amount or are you still together?
Speaker 3 (30:46):
Potentially?
Speaker 8 (30:49):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and PJ the podcast The Heads.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
We're talking couples that have broken up, got bat together,
broken up, got back together. Do you know sometimes it's
nice to know that, you know, couples can break up
in this hope that they can get back together. I
think it's like, oh cool, they got through that. You
know they came through the other side. They got through.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
Adversity, absolutely, But then there's also the flip side, which
is like it was just a little.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Bit messy and you shouldn't be together.
Speaker 1 (31:16):
Well, look open minded, we aren't judging anything. Open up
the phones. Wait, one hundred hats Stiff is joining us

partner break up?

the best for the future.

you broke up the last time, did you think that's it?
Or are you like no, no, no, we're definitely getting
We got this.
Speaker 7 (32:03):

Speaker 4 (33:52):
The podcasts, the People's Poll, the.
Speaker 2 (33:56):
People's Poll, everybody comes together.
Speaker 3 (33:58):
It's the People's polled, all right.
Speaker 1 (33:59):
We do People's Poll every day on the show. Sometimes. No,
it's not really hard hitting, is I always say that,
But it's not. It's mostly trivial, mostly relatable questions on
daily life issues. Really, And today we're heading to the
dining room.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
We are well, we're hitting in the dinnery vicinity because
we you and I have spoken about this on the
show before, actually, the fact that you and I would love,
love love to get our families or our partners around
the dining room table and eat dinner together and have
that like nice bonding time.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
Right, Yes, I think just with the time I get
back from work, and often BJ has rugby training, and
like just I don't know, just that we just can't
quite make it work that we're all around the table
at night. But I really want to make it a
family routine of us sitting down at the table, being mindful,
talking about our peaks and our trot tross peaks and
(34:55):
our troughs of the day, not trufughs. I just think
it's a really nice, nice practice to have. But do
we do it.
Speaker 4 (35:01):
No.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
I'll eat on the bench, I'll eat on the couch.
I'll sometimes eat on the table, but I might not
even spend my whole time there. I just feel like
I'm always on the go.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
We I remember vividly us going to a really nice
furniture store and picking out a lovely dining room table,
which I've got to say wasn't cheap. It was not
a cheap table, and many times if you used next to.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Never, oh, you should sell it, you really should.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
I know.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
But then we'd have like a big empty past part
of our living room.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
So beanbags maybe. Okay. So the question is today, do
you have dinner at the dinner table most nights? Obviously,
weekends and like stuff like that. Yeah, maybe doesn't count
the odd night obviously, but most of the time are
you having dinner at the table or elsewhere? Text through
four four eight seven, or you can weigh in on
(35:50):
our Instagram story. We'll put the pole up every day
the Hats Drive, where the Maddie and PJ will come
back next with the results.
Speaker 4 (35:59):
Maddie and PJ Mady and PJ the Podcast, The Heads,
The Deep Pol's Poll, the Big Pole's Poll, everybody comes together,
it's the Big Poles Pole.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
All right, we're asking today other people's pole. Do you
have dinner at the dinner table most nights. I just
got a phone call from the husband saying, we eat
at the dinner table, and I was like, what, no,
we don't. He goes, well, I would edit the dinner
table if you didn't try and make me talk emotional.
Speaker 3 (36:25):
Come on, how are you? How are you?
Speaker 1 (36:28):
How are you really feeling?
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Age?
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Just open.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
I am surprised at how many people are still it's
setting at the dinner table every night. I actually love it.
I think it's a really good thing.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
On the text machine. It is almost a whitewash curse.
This is at the dinner table every time. It's always
been this way. My kids like it. They talk about
their day and it's a great time for our family
to connect. Someone else said, dinner at the table and no.
Screens don't have many rules, but this is one of them.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
That's a good one. Someone said, not at the table together.
As have to cook three different meals because we have
four kids to have allergy, save their own meal, one
is vegan, and then the ed ulp meal save me.
Speaker 3 (37:04):
Yeah, that's a lot.
Speaker 1 (37:05):
All right, let's go to the findes. Michelle, are you
on a weigh on on this? Are you a table goer?
Speaker 11 (37:12):
We are a table family. Yes, great.
Speaker 2 (37:14):
I love it well for us as well for any reason, Michelle,
what do you love about it?
Speaker 11 (37:19):
Do you just get a chance to connect with the kids,
find out about the day. We talk about all sorts
of things at the dinner table, so the kids they
can weigh in with their opinions and it's kind of
like a safe space to talk about stuff and yeahs
as a family, not just the perments making the decisions
all the time.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Love that, Michelle.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
All right, let's wrap out with Steve and Navier. Get
I Steve, you're a big table fan.
Speaker 9 (37:47):
Yep, absolutely good.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
Yeah mate, every night, Steve.
Speaker 1 (37:52):
Every night?
Speaker 9 (37:52):
Yeah, every night, every night. We fit that rule when
the kids were really young, and we all do it today.
They're only mid twenties, some of them have left home,
and we'll still do it if ruin it at that home.
It's just one thing we set. The biggest rule we
set was years ago. I got absolutely text off with
cell phones being at the table. I made a rule.
(38:13):
Anybody on their cell phone at the table has the
dude armed the laundry.
Speaker 1 (38:19):
The laundry. That is a great role. It reminds me
of boarding school. And we had to hand on our
phone and we went to bed at night and the
