clean it again.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
I know, but you know you want it to look.
I mean, I'm not excucting it to stay like that
for very long, but at least if it's like that initially,
then I'll feel good.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Have you got to decorate the place up and stuff?

Speaker 2 (00:57):
Yeah, so the bridesmaids are coming over early tomorrow, not

A kid's birthday bag like that, but yeah, like a
party bag.

didn't do it either, but lots of couples do give
you like a little gift if you go to their
wedding and they called party.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
They got the wrong winning.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
No, No, they're actually fucking annoying. Yeah, because it's like
you get to the end of the night and most
of the time you end up leaving them behind. Because
at twelve o'clock at night, when you're leaving this wedding purse,
you're not worried about like, oh, where's the where's the
little party favor they go? So they always get fined.

Speaker 1 (02:35):

we've got the shared fruit gardens with the neighbors, and

(03:22):
they like so it's a communal garden. They have done
so much lately it looks like a little Japanese zen garden. Oh,
and then you see our half and it's just fucking shitty,
gross overgrown bushes, and I feel like I need to
pull my weight. Like it's almost like, oh no, They're like, no,
I don't worry about it. But I think now that

(03:42):
they've really put some nice effort into a we've got
to us it's just embarrassing.

might go to an shot this weekend if I'm feeling crazy.

Speaker 2 (04:59):
So we we're doing op shop like black Ties, so
black Tie on an opshop budget. And so what I'm thinking,
Page is that you go to a k op shop
and get a couple of options, and I'll do the same,
and then maybe we'll get the people to vote on
which outfit they like the best.

Speaker 1 (05:16):
I can't best oop shop wide or other.

Speaker 2 (05:19):

Yes, but it's just the good ones. Yep. We have
to get some top offs anyway, Look, big show coming up.
We talked about if you're an adult still living at home.
We talked about what happened with the flirting or when
you tried to flirt? Was it good or bad?

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Because I am not good at the flitting.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
I thought it would have been good. It's really dawn lately,
that you know.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
And we talk more about the hens do so yes, all.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
Of that and more coming up in the podcast and doing.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
The podcast.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
I'm a bit nervous today because my two year old child,
our two year old Charlie, has been lucky enough to
have my mum look after him four majority of the time.
When I started work, Mom happened to move nearby and
she kindly put up and to look after cyclone Charlie.

Speaker 2 (06:16):
Do you think she knew what she was getting herself
in for when she seduced to this? Not?

Speaker 1 (06:22):
Maybe not? And do you know what? Bless her? She
just wanted to do what her mom did for her
when she was working. My grandmother, Jojo, always looked after
me when Mom and Debrett worked, and so she was like, well,
if Jojo can do it, I can do it. That's
a lot of work, it really is. And so we're
looking ahead to other options heading into the year to
give mom a bit of relief. And so we've were

(06:44):
looking at a day here and this morning I put
the call through to a day care that we've been
thinking of and looking into. Few friends go there. We've
had good recommendations, and I all of as started a
found myself as I was talking on the phone like
I was in like a job interview. Kind of situation,

(07:04):
and I was like, oh my god, I've got to
be in my best baby, because these daycarees have the
longest list.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Oh yeah, the.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Longest way time you want to make you a good impression.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Yeah, you've got to. You've really got to lock these
in really far in advance, right.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
I put on my private school Gilbert he hello, I
can't help, but posh up my voice and I don't
think that's going to help. And then Charlie was going
in the background smashing his fike. Ah, sorry, sorry, I'm
just gonna have to move to another room. Like I

(07:42):
had to take like ten times to get my emulagorissed
to her. But now I'm like, oh my gosh, like
I really have to make a good impression. This isn't
about me, this is my son, and this is like
the whole other ball game. And anyone's got any great
tips on how to make a good impression for your
day care? Or am I overthinking this? Do they not
even care? Please text through fourth for eight seven.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
I think maybe they do. They do care, because they
need to know that who they're bringing into the environment is.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
Charlie's savage saying that live on here I'm just out
of myself.

Speaker 2 (08:17):
He's perfect, he's brilliant, he's wonderful, savage and the.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Best kind of lucky, lucky to have it, spirited bowl, persistent,
all of the above.

Speaker 3 (08:29):
Many podcast.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
That's reading an article talking about and this is you know,
no surprise really that it's becoming more and more common
for young people to stay living with the appearance for
longer because time's tough out there and everyone is just
trying to save your buck where they can. But they're
saying it can be an expensive mistake for the older
generation with you know, these people with their kids having

(08:57):
spent thousands of dollars more a year.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
Totally because you would, like you, bless you. I reckon,
if I moved home with Mum and Dad, I would
move home with the best of intentions. I'm going to
pay for rent, I'm going to pay for groceries, You're
going to make the meals totally, I'll add to the utilities,
and then slowly but surely, I reckon you'd be like, hey, Mum,
might just you know, cut you cut it out this.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
Month and not yeah, and you kind of naturally default
back into that relationship where they're looking after you and
they're like, okay, many care before.

Speaker 2 (09:30):
You know it, you're going, mom, what's for dinner?

Speaker 1 (09:33):
But they reckon the number of households with adult children
has grown by more than one hundred thousand since two
thousand and four, the fastest growth of any type of household.

Speaker 2 (09:42):
That doesn't not surprise me in the slightest because cost
of living, right, everyone is looking for a bargain in
a way to save for money.

Speaker 1 (09:49):
It's always been a really European thing, hasn't it, like
many parts of Europe. You know, people will go study,
but they'll still be living at home because I guess
it's that family, it's community, and you know, the more
the myria really but I would love to know on
eight hundred the hurts this afternoon, and don't be ashamed,

(10:09):
because I actually think it's a really beautiful thing. As
long as you haven't I mistaked. You're welcome.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
That's the thing. Because the more the maria only lasts
so long, and then there will come a time with
the more is not the myria. Yeah, and the.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Honeymoon period will be over.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
Many in the podcast.

Speaker 1 (10:31):
Reading an article on The Herald Today about how it
is obviously becoming a lot more common for young people
to stay living with their pearans for longer with the
cost of living crisis. And they're saying it's been always
grown by more than one hundred thousand households or people
since two thousand and four, which is pretty big. It's
quite of a growth. We wanted to know on oh

(10:52):
eight hundred the hurts. Are you still living with your folks?
How old are you? And how is the experience going?
I would say the varied experiences. Ania is joining us
in wantacare, Hello.

not be allowed to as long as I have.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
How long have you stayed? How long have you been
there for?

Speaker 6 (11:28):
I moved back in twenty eighteen, and I've gone away
a couple of times for a better travel but pretty
much been at home for the majority of the time.

Speaker 1 (11:38):
And so you're twenty nine years old at the moment. Yeah?

Speaker 6 (11:41):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (11:43):
What about like when you might start dating and stuff,
does that sort of create an awkward weege at home?

Speaker 6 (11:49):
So I just go to my partner?

Yes, okay, but what if thanks get real serious?

Speaker 2 (11:56):

a good little dynamic going.

Speaker 5 (14:23):

Speaker 3 (14:44):

Speaker 1 (14:52):
I'm so excited this has all happened so quickly, and
it's literally going down at a week's time next Friday.

Speaker 2 (15:00):
I cannot believe how quickly this has all come together.
Can I just say huge shout out to Razine as well,
because we know how much they love the community and
so to be able to step up and do this
for a town hall is so awesome.

Speaker 1 (15:13):
Yeah. So, if you haven't caught up with what we're doing,
we are throwing our whole ball all thanks to Razine
Color Shops. We're going to come to the rescue to
freshen up one lucky town hall and then throw a
massive ball in it to celebrate. We have got three
finalists standing by on the phone.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
It was tough. It was tough to even get to
the three final last point because we had so many
entries from all around the country literally from the top
of the North Island to the bottom of the South Island.

Speaker 7 (15:41):
I know.

Speaker 1 (15:41):
So this is the hard part where we have to
break a few hearts, but also it is a very
exciting time because we finally get to tell the Lucky
hole that we're going next Friday. Maddie, I think it's
your turn to break the news.

Speaker 9 (16:22):
Oh, it would be out of this world. I tell you,
we've been really struggling in our community because the hall
is one hundred and twenty years old, so it's community
owned and we rely on donations and volunteers, and this
would just be absolutely fantastic.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Tell us about the hall and like what it means
to the community of Tamata.

Speaker 8 (16:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 9 (16:43):
The hall was originally built in nineteen oh four by
an eighteen year old chippy Wow Wow, and all leave
farmers in the district contributed towards getting it built. We
have farewells and welcomes and dancers and the school used
it a lot, used to have a post office and
a shop, but unfortunately with the times, the waiters we're

(17:05):
down to the hall in the school.

Every day on the show, we do a segment called
head or Mess where producer Sera comes in. She gives
us a topic and we can't sit on the fence.
It's basically an activity to get us to not be
so decisive.

It's working. I feel like I'm changing. I truly think
more decisive these days.

Speaker 1 (22:34):
Same. So, one of the topics last night on the
show when we did this after six o'clock was flirting
to get out of something. And I don't know how
this happened, but Maddie decided to give his best fluting game.

we did get a few texts after that horrendous example
of fluting. Someone said, Maddy, with that terrible flake fluting,
how did you get Ryan your husband?

get your husband on the show this afternoon, Ryan.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
Happy Friday. Ryan, Can you enlighten us on what Maddy's
fluting game was like when you two both first meet?

Speaker 8 (23:43):

of your attempts at flirt egg.

Speaker 2 (25:15):

Speaker 1 (25:19):
We are talking flirting right now. Though, after we were
chatting yesterday on the show about whether we have a
flit to get out of things, I said I'd give
it a go. I wouldn't have a successful go, and
then Neddie decided to do a role play live on air.
You've got some pretty interesting texts.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
I I mean, I kind of knew this about myself.
But it turns out I can't flirt to save myself.
I'm terrible without that.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
I just love me and your husband not And you
just said you literally went into report and mode on
your favorite day.

Speaker 2 (25:54):
I think I got It's so nervous, which is why
I can't flirt flirt either, because I get so nervous.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
You're getting plussid talking. But we want to know good
or bad stories? What happened when you attempted to flirt? Sarah?
And the White Cuttle is joining us? Sarah, what happened
with you?

Speaker 5 (26:11):
So?

Speaker 10 (26:11):
I was at the No Sleep to Auckland concert, which
is like a big punk concert.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
And rock on.

Speaker 10 (26:18):
I was in the mosh pit and for no effect,
and I looked across and I saw the Blake. I thought, oh,
you're a bit of a right, So I went and
stood Nixon and he ended up buying me a light
beer and a hot dog at the end of the
night because that was left at the bar. And we're
been to.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
This for amazing So what was the actual fluting act?

Speaker 1 (26:42):
Was that you just standing next to him.

Speaker 10 (26:44):
Me washing next to him, getting into the music.

Speaker 1 (26:47):
Yeah. Nothing like a good old mosh to set you
up for.

Speaker 2 (26:53):
This is the thing about New Zealanders, though, I don't
think we're we're not what. We're not ones for the
for the cheesy pick up lines or anything like that.
Low level fluting.

Speaker 1 (27:02):
Yea, yeah, yeah, buy me a hot dog and a
bear yours exactly. Hey, I don't want to brag that
there is a story I haven't told on you, and
that is the fact that there are daily mail headlines
out there about none other than Justin Bieber playfully flirting
with me when he was in New Zealand years ago.

(27:23):
I'm not even kidding on the reading of the headline
that says Justin Bieber playfully flirts with New Zealand Radio
presented PJ Harding as he pokes fun at her dance
most And then I just found there is an actual
YouTube video compilation of the Beabes like fluting with all
these women, and it says Justin Bieber being a flirt
and brackets mostly with older women.

Speaker 2 (27:44):
You're the cougar. You're the cougar. May J Mady and PJ.

Speaker 1 (27:54):
The podcast that gosh our Weekends could not be further apart.
I swear every Friday we talk about the parties that
you're about to go to, and I just think about sleeping.

Speaker 2 (28:06):
The terrible thing is I think about sleeping as well.
I would love to get a little sleeping. But I
have agreed to host my best friends hens Do at
my house this weekend. We have been friends since we
were thirteen. We met at the start of high school.
And I'm in her bridal party, and so the four
bridesmaid the four of us in the bridal party, have

(28:29):
been working hard to plan this hens due and we
were looking around at venues and we were trying to
find maybe lack in the airbnb that we could hire
or something like that, and I thought, let's just do
it at mine. It's so much easier, so much cheaper.
And now I'm thinking, what have I done?

Speaker 4 (28:45):
No.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
I think it's beautiful. I think it's sweet. I think
you're all adults right. Although it's a lot of moms, do,
isn't it. It's going to be a lot of moms
going wild.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
It's a lot of mums, and I do wonder a
mum's sometimes wilder when they've left the kids at home
on for a night out. What I'm worried dangerous. This
is what I'm worried.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
About, dangerous territory. But I mean, you trust your friends,
your oldest friends, right, I do. I'm nervous about a
few things though. My house is not large. It is
a small two bedroom house, and we've got about twenty
five people coming. Plus we've hired into Day, Like you know,

(29:30):
he and his party into Day. Yes, yes, and that's
often quite mobile and like quite a lot of movements. Yes,
you know, it's not just in one spot. He'll be
sort of trails around the house, I know.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
So I'm wondering. First of all, I'm thinking, where do
we set this guy out, Like, where is he going
to go?

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Because it's not going to be great, Whether is it?
It's terrible, hor say, get him out on the deck
maybe you know, yeah, exactly, But I mean there's nothing
wrong with an intimate showdown. I think that could be nice.
But do you know what you need to get rid
of all your breakaballs, get rid of anything fragile in
your house?

Speaker 2 (30:13):
In a way, this is true. So yeah, there's a
few concerns I have, mostly about size, partly about what
the size of the house.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
Yeah, twenty five of you. That's a lot. It's a
lot and.

Speaker 2 (30:31):
Partly about you know, just hosting a house party at
a house what you know, things go wrong and there's
the added element of the wildness of it being ahns
do Yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
Yeah, and they say hings go wilder than stags. Apparently.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
I think you might be right.

Speaker 1 (30:46):
So okay, like you're worried. Maybe people can put Many
at ease or not a wait, hundred hats what happens
at the stag do or He's party? Yes, does Maddie
have anything to worry about? Like maybe there was damage,
maybe there was a trip to the hospital. What happened
at your hens or stagg do?

Speaker 2 (31:09):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (31:09):
Wait, hundred the hats? Maybe you can put Many a
days or maybe you'll send him into a spiral of.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
Anxiety many the podcast.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
That's big responsibility for mister Maddie McClean this Saturday night
if he is hosting one of his best friends Hen's
party and his own Friday no pressure.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
I'd say, how many? Huge pressure?

Speaker 1 (31:33):
How many people are staying the night?

Speaker 2 (31:35):
Just one other bridesmaid and the bride?

Speaker 1 (31:39):
Oh okay, yeah, okay, So is it like a set
up couch situation. You're going to be in one beer.

Speaker 2 (31:46):
I think me and the bride will be in the
same bed, which many a beds together over our friendship.

Speaker 1 (31:52):
And is it like a go to town no set up, No,
it's just at our that's so confident, a day out.
But you're not going to go to Tarla afterwards.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
This is this was her call, she said, I just
I just want to be in one location. I don't
want to do the whole big town thing. I mean
famous last words, right yeah?

Speaker 1 (32:12):
And what time are you starting?

Speaker 2 (32:14):
One?

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (32:16):
Yeah, one.

Speaker 1 (32:19):
Early? Are you going to be fine? It's going to
be great. I cannot wait to see footage from it.
But we wanted to know wite hundred the hats. What
were the horror stories from the Hens or Stags to
be honest, a lot of stories actually, because they're quite arendous.
But Debbie is joining us on Wait hundred of hats. Debbie,
what happened at the Stagger Hens?

Speaker 8 (32:42):
Well, the stag Doo was and Patamahoe and I sorry,
pepper Toey and my father in law lived in Glennais
and I must have obviously been the sober one or
something or I waited to drive and I stopped him
off and he was a little bit leads nice and

(33:02):
I dropped of offlo set in the cow. But I
just make sure he gets in the front door with
his keys. He went to the neighbor's house.

Speaker 2 (33:09):
Oh my god, funny.

Speaker 8 (33:12):
It was so funny watching them stagger over to the
neighbour's house.

Speaker 5 (33:17):
He was going home.

Speaker 7 (33:18):
He was fine.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
I mean, funny for you, and funny funny for the
father in law. Maybe not funny for the neighbors. They're
trying to get an early night and bed. Okay, So
so this is your advice, then deb watch out for
everyone and make sure they're not heading into any neighbours'
homes after that after the party, make sure yeah good,
call dB.

Speaker 8 (33:40):
Know and drop them off and have a good giggle.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Good Mary, J, Mary and PJ.

Speaker 11 (33:50):
The podcast The Heads, The People's Poll, The People's Poll.

Speaker 1 (33:54):
Everybody comes together.

Speaker 2 (33:55):
It's the People's Poll.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
Thanks keep happening in the office that are inspiring our
people's polls at the moment. And we do this every
day on the show, and we put up today's poll
up on our Instagram page on the hat Strive story
so you can weigh in before we actually get to
this on here today's question, Maddie, would you like to share.

Speaker 2 (34:16):
So earlier in the show, we were planning our show
out for today and we had a question for one
of our colleagues that we wanted to know the answer
to in it, and yes, it required an answer for
us to kind of continue on with the planning of
the show.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
A prompt response.

Speaker 2 (34:32):
Yeah. And so producer Sarah said, I'll just email her
and ask her the question. And I said, that's so funny.
And I wasn't doing the judgment, but I just see
that's so funny the difference between you and I, because
she wrote her an email and I said I would
have I would have poked my head out of the
studio door and gone over to a desk and said, hey,

(34:55):
wat's the answer to this question, and just got the
prompt answer that way.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
Do you reckon? That's a generation was hi?

Speaker 2 (35:00):
I think it might be a generational thing. It's also
the ways the younger millennials and Gen z it is
do not want to pick up the phone and call people.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
Don't put me in that category.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
That is true for the most part, though you have
to about yeah, maybe others.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
Yeah, the younger one in that situation, instead of emailing,
instead of going I actually reckon, I just call them
straight away maybe and just actually just get the answer. Yeah,
maybe I'd be somewhere in the middle.

Speaker 12 (35:28):
She is so busy. I had liked with her this morning.
She was telling me how busy she is and how
how she's a little bit stressed and lately when I've
been going over to her desk with a quick question
for the show. This is just my defense. Okay, she's
gone hold on and done that thing for ages when
they just finish their email and they.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
Go, yeah, proceed to it. Yeah, yeah, I've got a second.
I've got a second.

Speaker 2 (35:48):
See, maybe this speaks to my rudeness, but I wouldn't
have even given her an opportunity to do that. I
would have just gone, hey, what's the answer to this question.
I wouldn't have even been do you want if I
ask you a quick question? I would have just gone, Hey,
what's the answer? Cool? Move on, dumb guys.

Speaker 1 (36:05):
I'm feeling the tension in the room.

Speaker 12 (36:07):
No, it wasn't urgent, so I just sent her a
quick text.

Speaker 2 (36:11):
There's no tension. But I did think it was an
interesting difference between the two of us she would rather email.
I would rather do it in person.

Speaker 1 (36:19):
Okay, So this is in a work office environment, obviously, Yes,
you've got a question for a coworker. Do you email
them or do you go straight to the desk?

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Mary and PJ Mady and PJ.

Speaker 11 (36:34):
The podcasts, the People's Poll, the People's Poll. Everybody comes together,
it's the People's Poll.

Speaker 1 (36:40):
Okay. Hated debate in the office this afternown Is it
a generational difference or is it just different day to day?

Speaker 2 (36:49):
They're not question, not hated debate, just a friendly, lively
discussion between Sarah and I.

Speaker 1 (36:56):
We still loves.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
No just we needed an answer on a question from
a colleague earlier in the earlier today, and Sarah emailed
the colleague to ask the question, which is totally fine,
That's a justified way to do it. But I just said,
that's not how I would do it. I would have
gone to the desk and asked the question. So I
was I was curious to know, am I you know?
Am I in the minority or is Sarah in the minority?

(37:24):
Is there a definitive answer we can get on which
way is the preferred way to communicate with a colleague?

Speaker 1 (37:31):
It does come down to the situation at hand. Really
doesn't it, because sometimes it is way more appropriate to
just go to the horse's mouth. But sometimes it's like, okay, no,
this is just an email jobby. A lot of people, though,
on the text machine, I will say, are for going
to the person every time, getting up, using your legs,
making up some steps for the ten thousand a day.

Speaker 2 (37:52):
Maybe that's what it is. Maybe I'm just trying to
close my move right. Yeah, we've waked it up.

Speaker 1 (37:56):
Man, he is too competitive. He has to keep him
steps out up. But what is the overall percentage it's
actually binding the text and Instagram.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
It's not wildly different. Fifty eight percent of people say
get up and go to the desk and ask the
question in person. Forty two percent say send a text
or an email or something like that.

Speaker 12 (38:16):
So I'm in a fifty to fifty kind of I mean,
I won I'll give you next time.

Speaker 1 (38:22):
An't you worried?

Speaker 9 (38:23):
Why?

Speaker 1 (38:23):
There is
