Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Hits Drive with Maddy and PJ. Thanks to Chimis,
wearehouse the Real House of Fragrances. Hi everyone, and welcome
to the podcast. Man I got hooked on a show
on the weekend and like now there's just headlines galore
about it. The Perfect Couple review. Nicole Kidman's cliche ridden

(00:23):
who'd done it is top notch trash?

Speaker 2 (00:27):
How much trash you can there's a compliment, top notch
trash means it's trashy, but it's good trash.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
Yeah, and I'd agree with that.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
I love good trash.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Yeah, it's good. It's like opulence. It's like a real
wealthy family. It's like over the top characters. Everyone who
looks perfect, but there's so much chaos behind the scenes,
no one as they seem. It's good. It's got like
six episodes.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Ryan's been reading the book of it.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Actually, and now he's watching it on your place.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
He is watching it. Yeah, he's almost finished. He's a
couple of chapters away from finishing the book. Yeah. He
said there's like a couple of you know, they it's
never exactly as it is, And he did say they
were the characters weren't exactly how he pictured them in
his head. But he was just interesting, there's a couple
of weird things, you know, like they always take some liberties.

(01:19):
But he was like, they've changed a couple of the characters' names,
and he's like, I don't know why you would do that, Like,
what's the point of doing there anyway? Otherwise doing it?

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Yeah, it's pretty good. It's pretty good trash watch what
else has been going on.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
I'm just in the process of paying for a drag queen.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
To you've been working overtime for this Hens buddy.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
I know I've got hosting my best friends Hens due
on set D.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
It's next level responsibility. Like there's one thing to organize
a HENS, but to have it in your own fund. Eh,
it's bulls's bullsy stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
It's also like my house is not egg It's cool though, sure, yeah,
I love my house, but it's not necessarily like the
best set up for a party unless it's beautiful weather
and you can opening doors and you can go out
into the deck.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Spring is spring, and you might be able to guard
on the deck.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
I've looked at the forecast. It is no so Monday
through Friday. Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice Saturday.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Said, oh, well, it'll be cozy, would be cozy, and
it'll be you guys would be sweaty. And how many
people are going to be there?

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Twenty five?

Speaker 1 (02:36):
Holy shit, Well you're gonna have to party in the bathrooms?

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Yeah or not?

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Oh god, I can't wait to hear have that night.
Unfollowed are you going to go to town? After?

Speaker 2 (02:53):
She was like, very elemant, she didn't want to go
to town. She was like, she kind of just wanted
to park up and and is she a mommy? She's
a mom In fact, almost all of the people coming
at Mom's fair enough. One of my one of my
other best friends who's also in the bridal party, she's
a bridesmaid as well. She's just had a baby and
she's bringing the baby.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
Will she go home?

Speaker 2 (03:18):
She's staying at my house because she's coming up from Wellington,
so she's bringing the baby with her from Wellington's nicety
at my house part of them. Yeah, it's resilient, honestly resilience.
Mom still talks about the fact that when I was
a baby, she used to bring me to Dad's company

(03:40):
sponsored like a basketball team, used to go to basketball
games on a Friday night.

Speaker 1 (03:44):
And you're such a happy, go lucky kind of guy.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
Yeah, and they put me under the seats while the
basketball game was going on.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
I love that. I took Charlie and my carrier everywhere,
everywhere I'd have her mom.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
They good, right, no, no, no, what it is?

Speaker 1 (04:04):
Yeah, I reckon it does. Gives you a bit of worldliness,
makes you flexible, get.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
The kids out there into the world, I say, I mean,
I say this without children, but yeah, but you know.

Speaker 1 (04:16):
He could still have a bus. I'm trying to think
what else to share.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
BJ brought you a cute new Romba.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yes, this right? So he has fallen victim to Facebook
advertising before for really cheap shitty clothes. I mean when
I lived in Melbourne, I was like, oh my god,
and he sent me this package and I was so
excited to open it to what I found was like
the cheapest, shittiest clothes, noise when they were made, and like,

(04:45):
you know, you can't blame the guy. It must have
looked really cool on the freaking model that was looking
model hot on Facebook, but the quality was not fine anyway.
So I thought he'd done that again. This time he'd
ordered to jumpsuits to me. Because he loves me and
a jumpste It's just always been his thing. He's like,
you got to jump so and so I opened them

(05:06):
and I thought, here we go. BJ is reoffended for Actually,
as soon as I tried it on, I was like,
this is so comfy. And I wore a red one,
you said, because I got a red and a black one.
And then today I've popped this on and I was
just on the FaceTime video called her and he goes,
are you wearing it for the second day? Do you

(05:28):
have an apology to make?

Speaker 2 (05:30):
There's something very cute about farmer BJ buying new clothes,
like seeing something sweetheart. I think my wife would look
really good in there.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
And I didn't tell you this. The other weekend he
was and Timaru. He went to the mark Ish the
weekend markets, and he bought me some little clay earrings.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
That's adorable. That's so adorable. I love that I have won.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Okay, the thing is the very me like maybe five
years ago, right, I don't know, like and he's like,
always just a few years in your fashion.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Luckily, so when when with the jumpsuit, not necessarily when
you lose.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
Anyway. Coming up with the podcast, we had a really
fun Monday show. If I do say something myself, there
was a bit of woo waved into the show today
and it wasn't all led by me.

Speaker 3 (06:27):
No.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
I asked the question, when was the time that you
felt like your phone was listening to you? I had
a very crazy example of.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
This, and then we chatted to Lance Vali, of course,
the new host of Celebrity Treasure Island, which launches on
TV day tonight, and then inspired my moment on the
weekend where I believed I was a psychic. I brought
to the table PJ the Oracle where I had to
guess an answer to your question. You asked me a

(06:57):
question I tell.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
You you are not. You just strap in because it's
a wild ride.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
I did not do my one chance justice.

Speaker 2 (07:08):
You're going to You're going to enjoy it. You're going
to enjoy it. You're really going to enjoy it.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
All of the coming up in the podcast Enjoy Median PJ.

Speaker 2 (07:16):
The podcast.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
We were very excited to announce this on Friday.

Speaker 2 (07:23):
Median Pj's Whole Bull with Braisine.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
Okay, so this escalated really really quickly. Literally last week
on the show, I was talking about how the annual hall, Well,
annual hall party is coming up at our local hall,
and how it's like the social event of the year.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
And these countries and these community halls they throw some
pretty ipic parties. As we heard from you guys all
over the country.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Yeah, we got people to take said and it was like, mate,
some of the best parties I've ever been to have
been at these small, humble holes. So we thought, why
don't we go to one of these halls around the country.
All you need to do is register at the hits
dot co dot Z register your local town hall and
we could be coming all thanks to raziving color Shops

(08:12):
to rescue the hall, give it a little josh up,
freshen it up with a lack of paint, and then
we're going to throw a ball in it to celebrate.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Now, we have been inundated with entries already. Lots of
community halls all over the country have been getting in
touch with us saying we want you to come to
our hall.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
But it's going to be pretty hard to decide. So
let's go to the first actual message we received from
a lovely lady called Kelsey. She is the chairman of
the local community hall at Rangitaiki and Kelsey. Basically, you
think this would be perfect for you guys, Can you
talk us through your story?

Speaker 4 (08:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (08:49):
Hi, So basically as you said last week, PG, you
were talking about your community hall at Mount Bruce and
I was like, yeah, it's perfect timing because our whole
has been a little bit dormant for the last of
a while, just because it hasn't complied with standards and
we haven't got our bee waft and obviously all these
things cost money. But yeah, we finally just a couple

(09:12):
of months ago, got our bee waft done, which means
that we can the community can use it again. Yes,
we were just throwing some ideas out there. And in
the past our community has held a bar dance, which yes,
lots of people we loved, so it was an event
that people want to bring back. So that was kind
of why I reached out because I thought, well, perfect

(09:33):
we could team up.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
Yeah, Oh my god, you sound so fun.

Speaker 2 (09:36):
Yeah, you guys need a good party, right, Yeah we do.

Speaker 5 (09:40):
We do an excuse for our community to get together
and yeah, have a have a good knight and raise
some money to keep our hall going for the next year.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
Basically, if PJ and I came down though, and helped
throw a party. Would we need to watch ourselves? Do
you think I feel like this might be a little
dangerous for you?

Speaker 3 (09:59):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (10:00):
I would like to think not.

Speaker 1 (10:05):
Okay, Well, look make sure you register at the hits
dot co dot n zi's to officially register, because Calsey,
we could be coming to your whole giving it a
lick of paint, and then throwing a massive ball slash party.
All right, so.

Speaker 5 (10:19):
Good luck, thank you, thanks very much.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
This, of course, has been made possible thanks to resenting
color sharps choos from Enzi's biggest range of Echo Choice
approved paints, and don't get to keep registering at the
hits dot co dot n z. The podcast.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Technology freaks me out. I don't I don't get it,
and you know, when you don't get something, it's really
hard to process how things work and why things happen
the way they happen. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
I've never been a really tech savvy p I've even
become a long way because we kind of have to, right,
we have to adapt with the times. But I'm still
not in the advanced category.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
Yeah, but last week we were talking about how you
kind of know when you're old year old when you
say things like I just don't get it, I don't
get it. I feel like I'm doing that more and
more where the technology it's.

Speaker 6 (11:12):
Just just fakes. So sits to me.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
And one of the things that I've never really understood
is that whole theory that your phone might be listening
to you. You know, you know the story you start
talking about about wedding dresses, and all of a sudden
you're being given all of this curated content about weddings online, right,

(11:38):
and so there are so many minor examples, examples of
this happening in your life. But this happened to me
just over the weekend, and it's perhaps the most wild
example that has happened to me yet. I mean up
with a friend for a coffee and my friend was
telling me about someone that they know that is only
just realized that lamb, the meat you eat lamb is

(12:01):
a baby sheep, that it comes from a baby sheep.
They just didn't process that that's where it had come from.
Was this person from New Zealand, From New Zealand, From
New Zealand.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yes, wow, I've said no judgment, I've said some stuff
in my time. So I can empathize.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
I know, but you'd think, right that even that this
is just a universally known fat, that lamb is baby
sheep and that's where you get the meat from. Well,
this person didn't know that, and so my friend was
kind of telling me this funny story and we were
laughing about it, and that was that, and that was fine.
I leave the coffee, I drive home, I'm on my

(12:42):
I'm in my bedroom scrolling through TikTok as I do,
and I scroll two videos down. So the third video
that pops up on my phone is the video of
someone saying, I am in my twenties and I have
only just realized that lamb, the meat we eat, comes

(13:03):
from a baby sheep. What isn't that crazy?

Speaker 1 (13:11):
What are the chances, like, when would you ever ever
talk about that? That is such a niche conversation to
be here.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
And I am the first to say coincidence has happened.
But that seems like a crazy coincidence to me.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
Crazy the fact that your content, like your actual videos,
like random videos that you think are just totally out
of the blue, it is now being curated by things
that have been set around you.

Speaker 2 (13:36):
It's a conversation that I have with a friend. So
this is crazy to me. And now I'm thinking, what
else is my phone listening to?

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Welcome to the crazy club. It's good to hit me here.

Speaker 2 (13:50):
I'm on your side, PJ. The podcast.

Speaker 1 (13:58):
That is your phone listening to you? There is a question.
This afternoon, after a pretty crazy experience many head over
the weekend.

Speaker 2 (14:06):
A friend told me a story about someone that they
knew who only just realized that Lamb comes from baby sheep.
And then I logged onto TikTok and what the second
or third video I got fed was someone else saying
the exact same story. I'm in my twenties and I've
only just learned this fact about lamb.

Speaker 1 (14:24):
Pretty age conversation to be targeted your way. So we
wanted to know when did you have the moment where
you're like, oh my god, my phone is definitely listening
to me. Oh eight hundred that has to join us.
Zak is here with us.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Hello, how are you doing?

Speaker 7 (14:41):
Let me presense this by saying I'm not a simple person.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
PJ is, though, So you're in good company. You're in
good company.

Speaker 7 (14:52):
A few weeks ago, me and my wife we put
the gains to bed and we were sitting in the
living room and I said to her, Hey, babe, look
the price in our area is going up quite a
lot with rentals. Maybe we should look at another area
and lo and behold probably again three or four scrolls
later on Facebook and it says, oh, the area we
were talking about rentals popping up, you can find a

(15:15):
place here, I say my wife. I was like, I'm sure,
I'm sure our phones are listening to Oh. Yeah, I've
never experienced something like that. It's crazy.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
That.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
Wow, is really crazy. There's a very very specific conversation
to the nhaster on your way, on your faceback fade
all right, least coming to Nicole, join the creepy conversation.
When was your phone blatantly listening to you today?

Speaker 4 (15:47):
What happened literally today? I was on that.

Speaker 8 (15:49):
I know, it's so craepy. I was on the I
was on my phone. I was heading to somebody on
the phone, and I was talking to them about how
last week I had a uti, I was really sick
and I needed lots of medication. And then I was
alluded to all this medication and anyway, chatting about that.
I got off the phone and then went onto my
Instagram and straight away the very first story was National

(16:12):
Geographic and it was talking about how UTIs are becoming
more common and there of your there's a picture of
your fridge and apparently I didn't actually read the article,
but apparently it's got to do with something food in
your fridge or something like that. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (16:26):
We were you freaked out?

Speaker 8 (16:29):
Yes, I was completely streaked out. And then yeah, and
then I'm driving now and he's your story and.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
I was like, yes, today, it's crazy when it's like
a personal conditioning Nicole, Oh my god, if I'm talking
about you, t eyes, what is sacred?

Speaker 2 (16:46):
Do you know what?

Speaker 1 (16:47):
Do you know what?

Speaker 2 (16:47):
I keep picturing as well? Like it is literally just
someone there on the end of the phone listening, like
there's gossipy little person.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
You'd love it.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
I would love it. If it's a job, if it's
the I would love it.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
All right.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Li's raving up with Helena on our light hund Helena,
when did you realize that your phone was listening to you?

Speaker 7 (17:07):
Hi?

Speaker 8 (17:07):
Guys, how are you good?

Speaker 7 (17:08):
Yeah?

Speaker 9 (17:09):
Very well, it's a little bit creepy there. We would
stuck in traffic out the Hamilton Way and my son
desperately needed to pee, so we couldn't go anywhere, so
I gave him an empty coke bottle and sit on repeat,
You're just going to have to pee in this. He
reluctantly went and peed in it, and next minute on

(17:29):
my new seed device, there's various devices on how to
pee into bottles.

Speaker 1 (17:36):
Do you mean like a she wi?

Speaker 9 (17:38):
Yeah, like che wee's all different man stuff as well.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Oh oh.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (17:44):
There was three pretty creepy examples, Helena.

Speaker 2 (17:48):
Did were you sold? Did you buy anything? I just
used the coke bottle. Use the coke, got it much cheaper.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
Oh my gosh, Helena, thank you so much for the call.
We've got to help pizza.

Speaker 9 (17:59):
You can in your way, no problem, Thank you.

Speaker 1 (18:03):
Hey, I feel I need to get nixpit on, like
really just give us some clarity around many the podcast.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
So we've been talking this our page about my wild
situation where I had a conversation with a friend about something,
open up my phone, and then all of a sudden,
I was fed a video on tech Talk of the
exact thing I just talked to my friend about and
the wild.

Speaker 1 (18:32):
I love this chat. I've been trying to tell people
for years that my cell phones listening to me. People
thought I was crazy. So someone like you, who's usually
quite close minded, actually makes me feel a lot better.

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Well the situation, well, you and I can speculate till
the cows come home, but I thought we probably should
get a bit of an experts opinion on this, So
welcome to the show. Tick expert from tractor ian Howard Hien.
I'm very well, so welcome. Big question, Big question, Ian,
was my phone listening to me?

Speaker 4 (19:05):
I mean I can't say for absolutely certainly your phone
was listening to you at that point, but do phones
listen to you one percent? Yes, So I don't think
you're crazy. I mean, fundamentally, there's so much voice enabled
technology now, you know, the Series of the World, the Alexas,
the Hey Googles, you know where you're kind of basically
your your device triggers, is triggered by your voice and

(19:25):
then does something in a response to it. And the
only way they can hear that. The only way they
can do something is by listening, So it's constantly listening.
It's only supposed to be listening for that though. But
I have lots of anecdotal evidence that suggests otherwise, I've.

Speaker 1 (19:40):
Got so many questions. Okay, if people are freaked out
about this and they want to reduce the chance of
their phone listening to everything, what would you recommend you?
And they're like little settings you to turn off, don't do.

Speaker 4 (19:49):
Siri, just disconnect, get rid of your phone, or hide
it under your mattress or under a pillow or something.
There are settings you can change. So basically, you know
in your terms of conditions when you sign up to
various different apps, there will be something buried in there
that says that it has access to your microphone. You

(20:09):
can go into your permission settings on all of those
apps and say that you don't allow permission for them
to listen, but it does mean a lot of the
time that you'll lose a lot of the functionality in
that app. So it's just kind of a way of life.
If you want to use things on your phone, they
will listen to you, so be careful what you say
around them.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
What do you think though about this particular situation that
I found myself in. Do you think that my phone
was listening and feed me a video immediately or was
this just a coincidence, crazy coincidence honestly.

Speaker 4 (20:39):
I mean, firstly, I'm never eating Lamb again.

Speaker 1 (20:40):
Who knew.

Speaker 4 (20:43):
Definitely, I think it probably was a coincidence if I'm
honest in this case. Look, I don't know, just on
the balance of probability, I can't see who's got anything
to gain from serving some LAMB related content exactly. Does
seem like a very niche example, But I run Low's

(21:03):
experiments on this type of stuff where I've got people
to have really random conversation to young people talking about
their partners being pregnant when they don't even have a partner,
let alone and being pregnant, and then suddenly, over the
next few days they're being served up content about how
to be a good young dad and all of that
kind of stuff. So I'm absolutely sure that we are
being listened to. And fundamentally, our phones these days are

(21:26):
massive data harvesting devices. They're building huge profiles of us
so that they can then serve advertising to us that's
more relevant and enabled the big players to make more money.
And so any data that we we create, you know,
through our voices around our phones, is going into a
massive engine to then be analyzed and then figure out
how they can create commercial gain out of it. Just
stop having conversations that land you know, that's what, or

(21:49):
just throw.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
Your final ways exactly, go back to the landlights, go
back to the land line.

Speaker 4 (21:54):
Exactly. What we need is all soundproof safe.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Howard from Tractor, thank you so much for being with
us this afternoon. We really appreciate it. Mary J. Mady
and PJ the podcast Finish Me Off.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
Time a fun little game we like to play on
Monday sometimes, which puts my quote knowledge to the test.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
The thing about it is we've established this you're very
good at understanding the beginning of a quote. Yeah, you
never know how to finish it cleanly.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
They all merge into one to me, you know, we
all hear them from time to time, and then yeah,
I will often royally butcher a really profound quote unless you.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
You try so hard to be profound as well.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
The same thing is I thought this game would make
me better.

Speaker 2 (22:48):
I'm going to set you off really easy this week,
and you can play along in the car as well.
So I'll give you the start of the quote page.
What are you going to do is finish your Finish
me Off? Okay, you miss one hundred percent of the
chances you don't take so close of the opportunities. You

(23:10):
don't take so close of the opportunities you miss You
were close, you were closer before the chance of the
chances you take, of the chances you shoot, of the chances.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
You don't shoot.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
You're getting further away, saying again, pleas you missed one
hundred percent of there.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
Shots you don't take there you got there. She was slow,
she got there.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
Quote number two, You can do this. If you're going
through hell.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
Give them punches. If you're going through hell, you'll soon
get to heaven. Have you going through hell? Good luck? Mate?

Speaker 2 (24:00):
That would be a very new Zealand way of saying
really profound quote good luck, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Good luck? Right, Have you gone through hell? Then give
them hell?

Speaker 2 (24:10):
That's good. I like that, but that's not I be
gone through hell.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
The flames will soon dissiplate.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
I'm going to put you out of your misery. If
you're going through hell, keep going.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
Oh I was close, though, didn't I like? Keep going? Mate?
On a good luck man?

Speaker 2 (24:27):
Good luck mate?

Speaker 1 (24:27):
I can't remember.

Speaker 2 (24:28):
Yeah, okay, right now, listen to this, Listen to the
start of this quote and really think about what they
might finish it off with. Okay, okay. Life is like
riding a bicycle.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
You never know when you're going to get off. Life
is like riding a bicycle. Just keep peddling, just keep swimming.
That would make sense. Life is like a bicycle. You've
just got to put one pedal in front of the other.

Speaker 2 (24:59):
It's good all the defense.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
But no, life is like it was again.

Speaker 2 (25:03):
Life is like riding a bicycle.

Speaker 1 (25:07):
You just have to keep riding. You might get sore
in the crutch.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
You're getting You're getting really close, thank you, not with
the crush one. But life is like riding a bicycle.
To keep your balance, you've just got to keep going.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
Yes, you must keep moving.

Speaker 2 (25:26):
You must keep moving.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
It was quite similar the hell one will that but
a fab? In this week's finished me Off, did I
keep one and a half out of three? Could we
say that?

Speaker 2 (25:35):
Look you're getting there, Maddy, J, Madi and PJ the podcast.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
Look, it is a very exciting day. We have the
host of the new season of Celebrity Treasure Island, Lancevali
in the house. You're genuinely so excited about this coming out,
aren't you.

Speaker 6 (25:57):
I am? I think like especially like for X cont distance,
Well ITX champion over here. I know, I know, I
don't want to trust me. I don't even want to
look at his eyes. It's just like a special thing.
And like also just me knowing what happens, and I
have to do voiceovers to like an edit and post

(26:19):
edit and stuff, and me just rewatching certain moments. It
gives me goosebumps. So I can only imagine what first
time viewers are gonna feel.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
I have heard that it is wild from the get.

Speaker 6 (26:30):
Go, straight off the batmany it's cooked. I was so shocked.
Like you know, usually if you see the first team,
you're like, hey, in this together this season not quite.
They are taking shots straight off the bat. I don't
know how much they'll keep an in because it gets feisty,
but straight off the bat, me and Bri are just like,

(26:51):
holy crap, Like they're all taking shots straight off straight away.
I loved it. I was like, Okay, let's yeah, bring
it on.

Speaker 8 (26:56):
Yeah, I love it.

Speaker 6 (26:57):
I love it. It's fiery.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
Sorry. From the trailer, Susie p is a favorite of mine, obviously,
Susan Paul iconic character that we grew up knowing and loving.
What was she like?

Speaker 6 (27:10):
I'm trying to choose my words. Wisely, she's awesome, but
I would just say intimidating. Things come in small package, right,
you just don't know what you're going to get.

Speaker 3 (27:24):
Huh.

Speaker 6 (27:24):
She comes in and says, hi, lanes La, and then
when we're on camera, she just like staring at me,
and I'm scared to say Sue Susan. Like if you
say Susan by accident, oh my goodness, she'll let you know.
So it's like she she sometimes makes me forget my lines.

(27:45):
Let's just say that.

Speaker 2 (27:47):
Well, we were on a season with their Susan pocket
Rocket as well, one hundred, so.

Speaker 1 (27:51):
It was like this.

Speaker 6 (27:52):
I think that's what she wants to establish. She's not
another Susan. She's Susan. She's the queen.

Speaker 1 (27:59):
And don't forget it.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
Who else came to play this season?

Speaker 3 (28:02):
You know what?

Speaker 6 (28:03):
Bro like? You know obviously there's standout players, but everyone
came to play. And I will say that people that
you won't expect, they outshine all your expectations. You'll be
surprised what happens. It's awesome.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
How is it? Sorry, go go? Many many will start,
how did it compare?

Speaker 2 (28:30):
This?

Speaker 1 (28:30):
Timelines actually hosting as opposed to competing like did you
have hosting guilt whilst the computers were actually going through it.

Speaker 6 (28:37):
Listen. I loved being able to eat dinner. I loved
being able to shower and sleep well. But there was
a part of me meddie. There was a part of
me that just wanted to play Oh my God. It
like did my head and like obviously knowing what's about
to happen, it didn't help watching the players and being like, what.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
Are you doing?

Speaker 6 (28:56):
Like you need to actually like wake up. So it's
just a bit of closure to see what actually happens
on the other side. But also just like I can
only speak for myself because I haven't won, so maybe
there's not a less closed. It's just yeah, it's a
good it's a good journey, but also it's just a
bit of fomo there as well. But it's cool. It's

(29:17):
cool to see how everyone chooses to play.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
Oh I'm so excited. I can't wait to watch Oh
my God.

Speaker 1 (29:22):
It's going to lance. Thank you so much for coming
in today and getting us pumped for the new season
of Celebrity Trees Island back on TV's IT at seven
point thirty tonight. You don't want to miss it Maddy
and PJ.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
Mady and PJ the podcast so On Sundown went to
run club and I don't mean to bring it.

Speaker 1 (29:45):
Right do you like to run? Do you go running?

Speaker 2 (29:49):
I had it's it's I had to set the story
up in there, unfortunately, is how the story starts. But
my story is not about running. But I started at
the start of the session. Every week, I meant, this
last week, we have to go around in a circle
and introduce ourselves, and then there's always a new question
that we have to answer. So one week it was
what did you want to be when you grow up?

(30:09):
In another week it was what's your death row meal?
You know, it's just a little get getting to know
your icebreaker kind of question, right.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
I don't know why that makes me sweat so much,
but I always get I get.

Speaker 2 (30:19):
Such anxiety, and you know, me like, I'll happily talk
in front of people, but even something about that freaks
me out. So this week, the guy that was running said, oh,
why don't we all just tell a little fun fact
about ourselves? You know, nothing serious, nothing crazy, just a
little fun fact about yourself. So in my mind I
was already starting to think about like a cute little

(30:40):
thing that I could.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
You've got a third nipple, four nipples.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
I interviewed Prince I got to ask Prince William a
question once when he was here, you know, fun little things, interesting, interesting,
but nothing wild, right, And then he goes, oh, kick
us off, and there goes When I was a newborn
in the maternity, I was kidnapped by a couple and
driven away from the hospital and I went, sorry, what

(31:07):
excuse me?

Speaker 1 (31:10):
Was he joking?

Speaker 2 (31:11):
No? And I said, you cannot You cannot start with
that as the fun fat that is shared in this
in the circle, because.

Speaker 1 (31:22):
So nonchalantly as well lorado start, I know.

Speaker 2 (31:26):
And here I was thinking, Oh, I was just going
to quick. I was going to mention the time that
I like broke a bone when I was eleven. Does
not that my story pales in comparison to that?

Speaker 1 (31:38):
Please tell me? Did the Maddy McLean? And like ask
twenty one follow up question?

Speaker 2 (31:41):
Did I what? Because you do the run and then
we will go for a coffee afterwards. And I immediately
pounced and I said, I need to ask you about
this story. The funny thing is no one else seemed
that interested in it. And I was sitting around going.
The whole time I was doing this run on Sunday,
I was all I could think about was the store.

Speaker 1 (32:00):
So what happened?

Speaker 2 (32:02):
Literally a couple walked into the hospital, wanted a baby
of their own, enkidnapped him and took him away very
brief but they got They got him in the car
and drove him away from the hospital before he was
found again.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Oh my god, that's a That's a nice breaker, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
I tell you what, It's a great story tell because
it has it's all fun. You know, it all worked
out okay in the end. What a great story to
tell at a party or in a run club, social circle.

Speaker 1 (32:33):
In fact, right now, do you think we can beat
that on the text machine?

Speaker 2 (32:37):
If someone could, I would love for them to try
and beat it with their fun fact about this.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
Egged your own bracas, crazily wild fun fact story about you?
If you can beat that story, text it through now
for eight Sivert.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
Mady and PJ MA and PJ the podcasts Now, I
have to work pretty hard to get any spiritual kind
of content across the line to make it to the show.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
Correct.

Speaker 2 (33:07):
Correct, I'm I'm the buffer, you are, I'm the line
that you need to be able to cross over. And
even now I'm rolling my eyes, but take it away.

Speaker 1 (33:20):
Something happened on the weekend. Something happened on the weekend. Now,
I've always been a little bit were well inclined. I
don't know if it's the incredible stories that my grandmother
told me growing up, but I'm just you know, I've
always been very open minded. And on the weekend, we
were we traveled to Tekoa to hand over a ten

(33:42):
thousand dollars check to the rugby club here, which was
ef It was so cool, so nice to be able
to do that, and we were kindly driven by Jesse,
who works at Hats, and we were talking. We were
doing a bit of small talk. To be honest, I
didn't know GC too well, like we sort of always just,
you know, chatted on service level and it's always like,

(34:04):
you know, nine fatis at work and which were chatting
work stuff. So it was really nice to talk to
her in the car totally. And I started asking questions
and then I said, oh, do you have any pits?
And she said, yes, I have a cat. And I
kid you not. In that moment I saw the word

(34:26):
I'm not even joking. I saw the word Hank in
my head. It just came to me. And then I said,
what's it cold? And she said Hank Green and I said,
what is serious? She goes, yeah, it's Hank. And I
was like, I wish in that moment I had said
as it's name Hank, because then I looked like I

(34:47):
was absolutely full of it making up anyone could say
that I knew that the name was Hank, but I
cared you not many like flew into my mind out
of nowhere, and I knew that her cat was named Hank.
And no, I don't follow her on social media. There
is no way that I would know that the cat
was named Hank. How else do you explain it other
than I have a psychic ability?

Speaker 2 (35:08):
So this was your immediate reaction when we were in
the car, was I must see her, you know, like
I've got these abilities?

Speaker 1 (35:15):
And I said no, no, no, no, no, no no no,
this is just.

Speaker 2 (35:20):
A coincidence, a crazy a great coincidence. But it's just
a coincidence.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
Well, let's put it to the test. Then if it's
such a crazy coincidence, and you don't believe that I've
got some psychic potential, I promise this is my one chance.
That's fine. Call over eight hundred of the hits right now.
You ask a question. You asked me a question, and
I've got to tell you the answer.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
Okay. So it could be like what kind of a
car do I drive?

Speaker 1 (35:51):
Or what even?

Speaker 2 (35:52):
What's my name?

Speaker 1 (35:53):
Or what is my cat's name? Or what skill did
I go to or anything? What's my partner's name?

Speaker 2 (35:59):
Brother, do I have a part?

Speaker 1 (36:01):
Whatever it is? Oh my god, look at the phones.

Speaker 2 (36:04):
Believe psychic Psychic PJ will be in session very shortly.

Speaker 1 (36:10):
PJ The Oracle for one night only. I wait, hundred
hits people are actually calling. Oh god, I don't beg
my ability.

a lot to prove here, Maddy and PJ. Maddy and
PJ the podcast the Heads.

Speaker 2 (36:33):
Idiot, more likely.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
Excuse me? You said I get one chance. You said, okay,
you've got one chance to prove yourself. This was after
the weekend where I was sitting in the car with GC,
who we work with, and I said, what's the name
of your cat? And in the moment that I was
waiting for her response, the word Hank came to my
head and then she said, Hank Green, how do you
explain that others that.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
I worst thing about this is you get one of
these right, one of the odds.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Somebody she just text and say, Hey, Jack, can I
get the winning LOTO numbers for Winnesday night? Thanks?

Speaker 2 (37:12):
