Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Hits Drive with Media and pag thanks to Chemist
were House the Real House of Fragrances. Sorry, I'm just
going to start the podcast by ordering a curage.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
You are not? Is this really? This is where we've
gotten to with the podcast. This is what people want
to hear.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Hi there. I was just wonder if like bees make
a takeaway order for Polly? Ye? Could I get a
butter check and a cheese and garlic nan and a
crunchy poneer percorder. It was medium? Thank you?

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Sorry?

Speaker 1 (00:35):
What was the name again? Polly p l l y.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
This is outrageous.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Perfect. I look forward to it. Thank you, bye bye.
I always have to say Polly with a P because
everyone thinks it's Holly. I had my whole life.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah, well I get this week someone. I went to
mc an event and there they had like a bio
printed out for me, and they called me Matthew McLean
Matthew and spelled Matthews, spelt my last name with two c's.

Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah, McClay sod that make it McClean McClean, yeah, McClean
yourself up. Do we need to talk about the significant
event that haven't.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
I forgot? I actually forgot I just remembered we had
Mum and Dad had their first fight. It wasn't.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
I was like, how minimum of the conflict is between
us that this was considered our.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
First I know. So we were doing it doing a
zoom interview with someone which will play out later on
this week.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, it was great, Chant, it was really great.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
And there was a little bit of debate over how
you pronounced his last name, and I was I swore
that HEJ pronounced incorrectly before this person connected to the
zoom call. So I corrected her on the zoom call,
which is.

Speaker 1 (02:08):
In fairness, the right thing to do. But I think
I just got because I actually said it the right
way that both you and producing Sarah, to be fair,
did hear me say it wrong? And then Maddy sort
of was like, no, HEJ it's and you corrected me
when I got a little bit hurt, and it was

(02:28):
probably obviously clear that I got like a little upset
and emotion. In the end, I got my first real
texture from anything like hey, I'm really sorry today, like
it's not about you, it's just I said to go
over a walk, blah blah blah.

Speaker 2 (02:45):
It's funny though, because we didn't actually fight about that
in the moment.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
But I think we're quite in tune with the B
and I think you know something's up, and I know
something's up because I was like sitting a message door
and then when you sent me the message, I was like,
oh god, okay, the ear is clear and everything felt great.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
And we're fine. Now we're fine.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
I'd forgotten, like, honestly, if that's the biggest fight with
has and it's not even fie.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Okay, we're doing so make up six tonight.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Madly, So you're to our partners.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Okay, that's yeah. I've put it in your foot in
your mind now, so it's definitely going to be a dream.

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Well, I have got chili, I've got cheese and garlic,
gun cheese cheese. Does you know cheese?

Speaker 2 (03:39):
Dreams?

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Really were I she had a sixty dream last night
about bej and I never have sixty dreams about how
I have six dreams about everyone else?

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Remember Adam that's right?

Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, and Harry styles understandable. But what about Beja last night?
Which was great? I didn't feel guilty, so that's good, right.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
I mean, famously, I had a six dream about Beach
myself this year.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Oh, my god, I forgot about that. I forgot about
that was hey good?

Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I forgot about that many Hey. Speaking
of he came to the table, you say you might
have heard on the podcast with a content idea and
are we're moving forward with it?

Speaker 1 (04:23):
So I got home last night and I actually went
through like the semantics and logistics of it, and I
was like, okay, sweet, so date or mistake. If people
go on to dad, if one of them gets ghosted,
we did look cool the person a ghost of them.
I think it's gonna be quite confrontational.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
You and I are not confrontational.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Not It kind of feels like punked, but like ghosted
and then we just like call someone up. I think
we can get someone on side. It actually get like
a nice, like honest recount from them. But realistically, is
that how it's.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Going to go? Who knows.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
But I'm willing to try it.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
I'm willing to give it a go.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
Our shock Jock Eraror is about to start.

Speaker 2 (05:03):
Oh my god, just call me Kyle Sandlands.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yeah, move along, Howard Stern.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
So okay, let's give it. We've got next week off,
we've got going away on holiday.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
You and I we're going to have to put it
out the other people if they have been on a
date recently and if they've been ghosted.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
Okay, well we can do that. We could float.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
Why don't we just start here, start here on the podcast.
Maybe people can start getting in touch. Have you been
on a shitty date that you never heard back from
the person? Did they ghost you? Get in touch with
us is slide into our DMS and we can totally
keep your anonymous.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Absolutely, So yeah, you'll we protected and we'll explore it.
But I think we put it into action once we're
back from our holiday.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Yeah, I kind of want belch dictionally, I kind of
wanted to not go ahead because Bjo is going to
get a big coffee, Like he almost thinks that this
is him doing my job. He's like, I did the dish,
as I did the windows. I've been giving you cont here.
What can I not do? So we'll keep the guy humble.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
Yeah, let's let's let's explore it and we'll see how
it goes. See how it goes. I don't know that
there'll be a long term content I did, but I'm
willing to go. I'm willing to.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Try as a spike spike anyway? Coming up in today's show.
What the today's show, we had oh Maddy's new obsession
with one of Ryan's positions that rhymes.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Yes, yeah it did. Plus we had to make a
pitch for something that we've been desperate to get from
our boss Mando, so we got some big guns in
to help us make the pitch.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
And then for group therapy we had Drummer in the
friend group. Do you better not post some photos? You'll
find out today's story some really good strong opinions, which
is great. All of that and more. Enjoy the podcast.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
Go get your curry.

Speaker 1 (06:58):
Oh I cannot want PJ the podcast.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
We are Oh god, sorry, Bubble and your throat. Such
a great start, can we can we start that.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
We are actually having a fear ball as a cat.
That would be so uncomfortable, so uncomfortable. Luckily we don't
have to deal with them, just little bubbles from time
to time. But here we are, and I'm going to
continue my story.

Speaker 2 (07:28):
So this weekend we are heading off to walk the
tornad or crossing in the center of the North Island.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
Are you though, because it wasn't that we're supposed to.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
Be shocking, Well, it's not shocking, but there might be
because there has been a bit of fresh snow as
we know, you know that that that cold snap came through.
So if there's too much snow on the trail, we
probably won't be able to walk it. Because someone said
to me. Someone said to me, oh, you might need
to look and see if you need like crampons, you know,
like on to fit onto your shoes to walk on

(08:00):
the ice. And I went, mate, I'm not doing that.
I'm a casual little day walker.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
Aren't you going with kids as well?

Speaker 2 (08:09):
We're going with kids. I don't even have hiking but
like I've got I've got footwear that is suitable for
a cute little day walk and that's about it.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
So you're right, so leaves. Be honest, she's even a
little bit more than cloudy.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
We ain't gone and we're getting takeaways and we're playing
a board game inside, and to be honest, wouldn't be
mad at that. But there is something exciting about walking
the Tonga did or crossing and I would love to
do it. But because we don't do a lot of hiking,
Ryan and I have been looking online to see if
we need to buy an extra gear. So we've gone
and bought some like polyprops in case it gets too cold.

(08:47):
And we've just been looking at other gears. Do we
need to invest them some hiking boots and all the
rest of it. And then Ryan found himself a jaunty
little hat.

Speaker 1 (08:57):
Kind of hat.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
It's like a cap, but it's got those like fluffy
flaps that come down over your ears.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
And oh, yes, yes, yes yes.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
When I saw the photo. When I saw the photo
of the hat, I thought, good luck, mate, because there's
no way in how that I'm I would pull this off.
But all power to you if you think you're able
to pull this off, because it's bold, like she's a
bold hat, you know.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
And it really does speak like to the people saying, Hi,
I'm a mountaineering expert, like I live in the wilderness.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
It's that it's giving, it's giving, like it makes him
look like he's a what's it like a wood chopper?

Speaker 1 (09:40):
He'd like that.

Speaker 2 (09:43):
Oh my god, what is there is a word lumberjack?
A lumberjack that's.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
Slow today, aren't there?

Speaker 2 (09:52):
But I said to him, go for gold if you
feel like you can get it anyway. The hat arrived
yesterday and Ryan sent me a photo and I, actually,
you are pulling this off. Well done, because it's a
bold man that would have brought his hat, but he
backed himself in and he's pulling it off. I got
home last night and it was sitting on our beard,
and I thought, just for a giggle, I'm going to

(10:15):
put it on because I know that I'm going to
look so ridiculous. Well blow me down with a gust
of wind peage because I put the hat on, a
bloody looks fantastic.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
I really really like what you thought when you looked
good in.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
The It's different from the acubra. I'm really pulling it off.
Even Ryan said, actually, you look really good in that.
And so now my thing is I might have to
steal the hat off him. I think I'm gonna have
to take control of the hat because it really has
given me this like new sense of like self identity, identity.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
God, you must really be lost.

Speaker 4 (10:57):
Now.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
But there's a ride of passage. Gener relationship is to me,
hat is to hat?

Speaker 2 (11:02):
Do you know what I mean exactly? But can I
can I claim it for my own? Is what I'm asking.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
I guess it's brand new, that wasn't it it's probably
a bit, so I think you need to give it
like a few months, you know, stand up period, and
then you can go for gold. But it is common,
oh Waite hundred the hat so you can taxt war
for eight seven. Have you ended up taking over one
of your partner's possessions? Maybe you hated it at the
beginning and now it's officially become yours? And do you

(11:28):
need to actually ask for permission when borrowing your partner's
item or is.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
It just a free for all, a go for gold?
What's yours? As mind?

Speaker 5 (11:39):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and Pj the podcast The Heads.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Matty one wants to know if he's the only one
stealing his partner's belongings.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
Well, you know, when your your partner gets an item
and it doesn't have to be clothing, it can be
anything the gadget for around the house or something, and
you go at first you think, I'm not into this,
so I'm ambivalent about it. This is the way I
was with the hat that Ryan bought, And now all
of a sudden, I'm going, actually, I could definitely commandeer
this hat and make it my own.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
So I drew the hats to join the show. Renee
is on the line. High, Renee. Here you going, Yeah,
you've been a bit guilty of this.

Speaker 6 (12:20):
Oh just a little bit yep.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
With what talk us throughout, Renee.

Speaker 6 (12:26):
So Ever since I met my partner five and a
bit years ago, he wears a lot of Camos. He's
a hunter thrown through. Yeah, and I hated Camo. I
still hate it, but I do find myself now wearing
his hemo jackets and his hats, and yeah it's probably
my favorite jackets actually, but in fairness, he does steal

(12:48):
my cute cow jerseys too.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
So what goes around comes around, Renee.

Speaker 6 (12:54):
Exactly exactly, Renee.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
My husband's also Caine farm and I used to hate
Camo as well. And it does, it grows on you.
And now I found myself and his gears. It just happens. Eh.

Speaker 6 (13:06):
Oh, it's honestly, I think our wardrobe now has just
become one because we get to share it all. It's great.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
Hi, Well, thank you so much for you call. We've
got a family pass for you to check out Transformers
one and cinemas.

Speaker 6 (13:20):
Awesome, thank you so much so.

Speaker 2 (13:24):
But my partner has this fluffy zip up jumper. He
actually said I'd like to emphasize it's not a teddy
style jumper. It's a very manly men's fluffy jumper. At first,
I thought it was the ugliest thing i'd seen. Then
the curiosity got the better of me. I tried it on. Well,
blow me down with a gusta when that thing was cozy.
Five years this ugly jumper has been around, and it's

(13:44):
now what I call the communal jumper.

Speaker 1 (13:48):
I have a confession. I think it was when I
was pregnant with Charlie. I started wearing pj's under it
and they were really comfortable.

Speaker 2 (14:03):
Were they not too big for you?

Speaker 1 (14:04):
I guess I didn't care. When you're pregnant you need
all the room you thinking, and so I just started
wearing them and I was like, this is wrong, and
oh god, I'm so much mad. The podcast, it's sort
of been an ongoing chat on the show, something that

(14:25):
Maddy and I have desired since starting work. Ends in me.
Would you say that's right, Maddy.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
I'd say it's the conversation began quite early on in
the piece, and we've been on here for what we're
coming up ten months now, Peag.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
The last time we raised this idea with our boss.
It was very quickly tonight.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
I think when we brought it up on air and
he was listening in the office, and I think within
thirty seconds we had a text saying absolutely not.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
The thing we're talking about is excess to the quadulat
and we've actually brought in our boss, Mando. Welcome to
the Showay.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
As soon as you said we asked about this, I mean,
here we go.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
So can we get a quick level where do we
stand currently with the situation.

Speaker 3 (15:17):
I would need to run some analysis because I've come
in entirely unprepared for this. PJ may have actually tipped
over it on Friday, except she decided to charge the
company for a flight.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
So PJ, we were so close. We were so close.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
So Mady and I decided to work as a team
because we are a team and all things work better
when you've got a good pitch. So we decided it
was time to amplify our pitch. And we can't do
that without a special geest on the show.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yeah, because you know us awkward as we'll get out.
So we thought we need to go big guns here.
If we're going to make a pitch that might get
us across the line. So I'd like to welcome to
the show the head of the Air New Zealand Loyalty program,
Kate O'Brien. Hi, Kate Gay. Have you ever had to

(16:08):
do this? Have you ever had to had to advocate
to someone's boss on behalf of them for access to
the lounge?

Speaker 7 (16:15):
No, this is the first for me.

Speaker 1 (16:17):
Well that's great, Kate, because I think, look, we need
to come in here with a bit of a plan
and a game of attack and stats, and I think
we need to first of all, look at the long
term benefits that the company to gain from us actually
having a membership.

Speaker 7 (16:32):
Yes, so there are lots of great benefits that you
would get having a Crown membership. Obviously lounge access is
the most popular, but there are a range of other
benefits from priority chicken and boarding, additional baggage, complimentary frequent
flyer seating basbag on regional flights that would be great

(16:53):
to UPJ and so.

Speaker 2 (16:55):
Kate, because we did have a bit of an issue
on Friday where PJ missed her flight because of disorganization.
Let's be honest, page that was my fault. Yeah, do
you think that if we had had a membership like
this maybe PJ might have made Could we be so
bold as to say that?

Speaker 7 (17:11):
I think so. I mean, it's a great reason to
get to the airport earlier. You can get there relaxed,
to have a drink, you'll want to flight again.

Speaker 1 (17:21):
I think if I had that access, I absolutely would
cut a carve out time to ensure that I was
at the airport forty five minutes at least prior to
take off.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
Oh my, Kate, it's met here not to meet you virtually.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
Firstly, can I say I do not currently have a membership,
but I often ride the coattails of others and you
do provide.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
A wonderful lounge.

Speaker 3 (17:45):
Secondly, I'd just like to say, PJ, you can say
you know all you like about turning up at the airport.
Does that mean that we need to pay for you
to get into the lounge for you to do your job?

Speaker 1 (17:55):
I hear you, I hear you, man, But this could
save money in the long term for the company. Kate,
Am I correct? And assuming that fact.

Speaker 7 (18:02):
You are correct, there are so there's so much value
that you can get out of having a cotton membership.
So beverages, coffee, Wi Fi in the lounge.

Speaker 3 (18:12):
Tell you what, Kate, you do present a compelling argument, Kate,
I think we might get over the edge here. Tell
you what, Kate, why don't you and I take this
conversation offline and maybe we can do three.

Speaker 2 (18:21):
We can do a little deal here. So we'll leave
it in the hands of you two to organize the
specific people.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
We'll talk to your people.

Speaker 7 (18:31):
That sounds Maddy and PJ.

Speaker 5 (18:36):
Mady and PJ the podcast.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
That some rather niche questions regarding the winds.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
We wanted to know, could you feasibly as a as
a person be blown over or even potentially lifted off
the ground by a gust of wind?

Speaker 1 (18:54):
Like have you seen a tornado and stuff? Yes? Sure,
but we're talking your stock standard. If you yet, if
you get a freak gust that's you know, upwards of
one hundred and fifty k is that going to lift
you up? Or does it take more?

Speaker 2 (19:08):
So I did some I did some googling, and I'm
on a website called HowStuffWorks dot com, which kind of
it's almost like a MythBusters, like a kind of debunt
things or tells you you know the science behind things.
And they say that there's a thing called the Beaufort
Wind Scale, which can classify the intensity of a wind
that could potentially move a person. So the only way

(19:34):
that you could could get moved basically is if the
wind is traveling in the right direction, because obviously wind
often moves sideways, but if there's like a bit of
an updraft, then potentially that could gather you up and
move you along. It also depends on the winds. So
if you are around about forty five kgs, so.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
That's small, right, yes, yes.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
The winds would have to reach up to about seventy
two kilometers an hour to actually make any kind of
impact on you.

Speaker 1 (20:05):
So it's still like there's some of these wines that
have been for us today around one hundred and twenty eight.

Speaker 2 (20:09):
Absolutely, so it is possible. It is possible. It would
depend on the strength of the wind, how heavy you are,
and which direction the wind is traveling in.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
Okay, So there's a lot of variability we're dealing. It's
just not a stripe black and white, yes or no.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
Yeah. Also, it just ground your feet, you know.

Speaker 5 (20:28):
Many INPJ the podcast.

Speaker 4 (20:32):
That's Many and PJS group therapy.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
Oh, I just always actually feel like I'm sitting on
a chaise Lau. Truely, I'm just it's time to sit back,
relax and realize that we've all got our own dramas
going on in our life, something to be ashamed of,
whether they're big, whether they're small. We want to help
you out so you can take them through every week
four four eight seven or hit us up at the

(20:58):
Hatstock Co dot in Z's.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
When you are on the chaise Lounge, do you have
do you have a drink in hand? I am I'm
either picturing. I'm either picturing a cup of tea or
completely the other direction, like a swirling Martin or something.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Yeah, it's definitely a drive Martin, isn't it. Okay, So
this question has come through this week and we would
love you to weigh in on the phone. Oh eight
hundred that so you can text from four for eight seven. Hey, team,
I hope you're having a good week. Like I don't
know if you can help me, but I thought i'd
throw it out there anyway. My friends and I've done
a girls trup once a year for the last few

(21:34):
years and it's always such a highlight. I never heard
from anyone this year, so I assumed it wasn't going
a hit, but then over the weekend it popped up
on my feed that they had all gone away together.
I feel so gutted that I didn't get the call up,
but I just can't work out why. Although I do
know a few of them weren't the biggest fan of
my partner, but I feel like with the history we
have as friends, they should be able to get past that.

(21:56):
I don't want this to be the end of our friendship,
but truly it feels like they have based me out
as a friend over the past twelve months, as I
never hear from these days. Do you think we can
come back from this or is it time to move on?

Speaker 2 (22:11):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
This is a tough one. Thoughts comics Queries Matthew MacLean.

Speaker 2 (22:15):
There are some friends in your life that you catch
up with all the time. You're constantly in each other's lives,
You're always calling or texting or catching up in person,
and there are friends that you just don't see very often.
Doesn't mean that you are any less of a friend,
doesn't mean that that's the end of a friendship. Absolutely

(22:36):
not a couple. I have people who who I consider
some of my nearest and deurest closest friends, and we
barely catch up. But when we do catch up, you
know that it is like a strong, firm friendship.

Speaker 1 (22:52):
I concur, I absolutely concur my best friends, I don't
need to say for a very long time. However, in
this situation, it feels like with this particular growth, there's
always been this event, and there has obviously been a
lot of communication, and all of a sudden, this communication
has dropped off. So maybe her assumption that they don't
like your partner is the truth. We don't know that,

(23:12):
but I would say it's it's pretty rubbish behavior on
their behalf to just go ahead and particularly post photos.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Of its totally. But do you know what I've realized,
the older I get, nostalgia can only get you so
far when it comes to relationships, Like, just because you've
been friends with someone for a long time, it does
not mean that you were always going to be in
each other's lives reason season, lifetime, right, Oh that's good,
A yes, And so I wonder whether maybe this friendship

(23:42):
has just run its course and that's okay. It's gutting
and you can mourn it, you know, but you also
have to realize that this happens in life and hopefully
find a way to move on.

Speaker 1 (23:55):
The thing I will bring up is she said, I
never heard from anyone this year, so I assumed it
wasn't going ahea, you didn't hear from them. But friendship
is a two way straight totally, so maybe they were
waiting to hear from you. And sometimes you assume that
the other person is going to initiate you have to
do it as well.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
So true.

Speaker 1 (24:11):
So I don't I don't know if it's the end,
but I would say that communication definitely needs to improve
it with the friendship.

Speaker 2 (24:18):
Yeah, if this is going to continue on, Yeah, you
definitely need to pick up the pick up the pas.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
Oh wait, one hundred hats. What are your thoughts? Have
you been in a similar situation. We've got an never
Year prize pack up for grabs. We'd love to know
what you think on the future of this friendship. Do
you think it's done? Is it time to just get
past the drama? It seems like they're being immature. We
want to know and we'll take your calls near.

Speaker 4 (24:41):
Maddy, MPG, Many and PJ the podcast Many and PJS
Group Therapy.

Speaker 1 (24:50):
In the meantime, it is time for some therapy. I'll
just quickly recap the dilemma this week, and don't forget.
You can always get in touch with us four for
eight seven on the text. Hey Tam, I hope you
have a good way. Look, I don't know if you
can help me, but I thought I would throw it
out there. My friends and I have done a girl's
trap once a year for the last few years and
it's always such a highlight. I never heard from anyone
this year, so I assumed it wasn't going ahead, But

(25:11):
then over the weekend it popped up on my feed.
They had all gone away together. I feel so guded
that I didn't get the call up, and I just
can't work out why. Although I do know a few
of them weren't the biggest fan of my partner, but
I feel the history we have as friends, they should
be able to get past that. I don't want this
to be the end of our friendship, but it truly
feels like they have based me out as a friend,
as I never hear from them these days. Do you

(25:33):
think we can come back from this or is it
time to move on? Oh? Wait, one hundred minutes to
weigh in? Or of course you can text us on
four four eight seven and but from Hamilton is joining
the show. What are your thoughts? Amba?

Speaker 5 (25:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 8 (25:46):
Hi, I just think if they've being friends for that long,
there should be she should be able to just ask them,
you know, just communicate.

Speaker 6 (25:57):
Like what's up?

Speaker 8 (25:58):
Have I done something wrong? Or just actually front up?

Speaker 2 (26:03):
Yeah, totally talk right, talk it through. It doesn't mean yeah,
there's not doesn't have to be any dramatic cutting off
of any friendships or anything like that. Just actually do
some good old fashioned communicating.

Speaker 1 (26:16):
It's just that awkwardness after seeing them all together, like
you just I feel like you just have that shame
of you, Like, well what if I how would you
approach the whole group? Would you go to just one
person maybe the one you're closest with yesterday?

Speaker 2 (26:28):
Yeah, you just go to one person in the group
and then and address it with.

Speaker 9 (26:32):
Them, right, absolutely, Yeah, they have been say that she
has a history, so she should have a close friend
and just straight up you know what's going on.

Speaker 8 (26:42):
But yeah, it sounds like if she didn't hear anything,
then maybe her communication hasn't been so good with her friends.

Speaker 10 (26:49):
True.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
That also true?

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Well, actually on there someone text and saying listening to
this made me a little sad and angry at the
same time. His friendships are a two way street. But
to not invite her and posted all over Facebook is
just made They would have known she was miss saying
out and to be fear. If they don't see past
themselves to see the low level of maturity, then she
deserves bitter friends. Late is weighing in on our hundred

(27:12):
the hets. What are your thoughts, Late.

Speaker 11 (27:15):
Yeah, my thoughts are Yeah, she needs to kick them
to the curb because they shouldn't reached out to her. Yeah,
I'm sorry, but that's like especially them listing on social media.
Come on now, I mean, they could have done it
to the lou she couldn't see it, but to know that,
to plan it to go away and they've already done
several trips prior, Yeah, that would be the end for me.

(27:35):
As I had mentioned, I've done.

Speaker 8 (27:36):
With a friends for away that.

Speaker 11 (27:39):
I would definitely be like, that's it. Or if you
do have somebody like you were just doing that you're
close to, or that's the adult in the group, then
I would question, you know, ask them and just see
what the accountability is and maybe get the truth. But
if it is because of your partner, I don't think
that's a good reason or a viable reason for them
not to at least include you or invite you, or
reach out or say look, we want you to come,

(28:01):
but we don't like it or whatever.

Speaker 1 (28:02):
Yeah, yes, I feel like you're coming from a place
of experience. Have you been through a similar situation?

Speaker 11 (28:08):
Oh, you, you don't have enough time, But I've got
I've got friends when I lived in the States, and
I've had friends for over thirty five years that I've
worked with and we still meet up every couple of
years and it's just we connect back up and it's
like we've never been apart. So those are those are
the strong friendships that, like Maddie was saying earlier, that

(28:29):
you just reconnect and it's like you haven't been apart
and you're in sync with each other. The young people
that you know, if they're going to do things like that,
it's not worth your time, And at some point you
just be like, you know what, I'm far more important
to myself than to worry about.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
This wageous love. Thank you so much for your advice.
We really appreciate that.

Speaker 5 (28:47):
Many and Paja the podcast.

Speaker 1 (28:52):
Just a quick glad MEETIM bit of a hypothetical. If
you husband was listening to the playlist that was curated
by an X so many alarm bells.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Years so the X head put together a playlist of songs.

Speaker 1 (29:13):
No, so the X just has like has a good
playlist and constantly updates good music in there. So it's
not it's not like a specific this is my relationship playlist, right,
But your partner hypothetically is listening to the playlist because
they like the music.

Speaker 2 (29:34):
It depends would you get jealous? I guess it depends
on how much I like the music, because I think
that would have bearings on how I felt about it.
If they was playing, if the whole playing banger after banger,
I'd go fear play to them.

Speaker 1 (29:49):
Would you be like, damn, I'm actually feeling quite three
really good?

Speaker 2 (29:55):
That's also true. What is hypothetically where do we stand
on peach?

Speaker 1 (30:00):
Hypothetically, I mean hypothetically, my husband has this really cool
playlist that he has sort of tapped into over the years,
and it may or may not have been created by
an ex lover of his. But I know that it's
not like, it's not the love playlist, but sometimes I

(30:21):
can't help when it comes on, I'm like, there's a
song remind you of it? Like no, no, it's not
like no, it's like and maybe this is where I
get slightly threatened, because the music's quite like not dubby, No,
it's like a bit housey and it's quiteence and like

(30:42):
quite cool modern dance music that I wouldn't usually be across.

Speaker 2 (30:46):
Right, So you're you're worried that they've got better taste
of music than you, hypothetically, hypothetically.

Speaker 1 (30:52):
Idly, I'm just saying, like, is this a red flag?
It does remind me, it does tell you what it
doesn't remind me of because I had an X once
and we like we went on a break and we
did have like a mutual playlist that we would add
songs to and it will be our way of communicating
with each other. We were literally talking, but we'd add

(31:14):
songs that had titles, so be like, he knows, But
like I'm being quite obliviate. Am I overthinking?

Speaker 2 (31:24):
You are so dramatic? And I love it.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
It was a real dramatic, But that's to be fair
to defend Bej. I actually just think she's got good
taste of music. I know they haven't talked in years,
but you're just like.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
I want good taste of music.

Speaker 5 (31:45):
Mary and Mary and PJ.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
The podcast As we get up for the school holidays
of course kicking off next week, and it's just been
revealed officially the busiest day for travel for the school holidays.

So school holidays of last day of school on Friday.
So school holidays technically start on Monday. Is it Monday?
You know? Give people the weekend and then they.

Speaker 1 (32:16):
Sorry, I should have got a real buzz Friday. This Friday?

Speaker 2 (32:19):
Is it coming?

Speaker 5 (32:20):
Friday?

Speaker 1 (32:21):
Correct expected to be the busiest day with over thirty
four thousand customers flying on in New Zealand specifically, and
as for where people are traveling, apparently, Wally is a
real hot spot obviously with the All Blacks playing against
the Wallabies at Sky Stadium on Saturday and then the
World of Wearable Art show on Friday night at tsp
A rennes so a lot of people are going to

(32:42):
be in the Capitol. If you want to heat the queues,
maybe just lay low for the first couple of days
and then make your way out the doors.

Speaker 2 (32:52):
Smart smart, Smart i'd.

Speaker 1 (32:54):
Start coming up with ideas of how you're going to
enter contain the kids for two weeks. You've got this
actually texta. Have you got any ideas out there? You
can start texting through your creative ideas to keep entertained
throughout the school holidays to four four eight seven.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
Maddy and PJ Mady and Pja' the podcasts.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
Hey, we had a fantastic Friday night. We've already talked
about it pretty extensively. We threw our whole ball Intimata
just outside of Raglin. It was incredible.

Speaker 1 (33:28):
It really was like I think we were pumped, but
we didn't really know how great it was going to be.
And I just think their community. We'd heard so many
rumors about how amazing the community were. That was so true.
And I can't wait to put out the video of
the night because that is in the works and it's
going to be up online in the next day or two.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
But you'll just.

Speaker 1 (33:47):
Feel the wholesomeness through the screen. It truly was a
highlight from this year so far.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
But we met so many people when we were there,
and like you said, incredible community, some very friendly people
in that community as well. We had a few laughs.
You got stuck in some pretty At one point I
walked over to you and you were deep in conversation
about Peri menopause.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Yes, I had a very in depth discussion about what's
to look forward to with Pieri minipause. And I loved it.
She felt comfortable to talk to me. She's given me
all the tips and tricks, so you know it was
It was definitely a colorful evening of conversation.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Yes, one of the more colorful, colorful characters was a
guy in the community whose nickname is Willie the Waiter,
apparently like an old mascot of White Cuttle Draft. And
when this guy went on as owe as a youngster,
he took a case of White Cuttle Draft with him.
And so we've run said, oh, you must be Willy

(34:44):
the Waiter because you're carrying this bearer with you everywhere
you go.

Speaker 1 (34:48):
Yes, but that wasn't what quarter attention.

Speaker 2 (34:53):
It was not. It was his job that really got
us very intrigued. And but quite a few questions from
us peache.

Speaker 1 (35:04):
I know I couldn't do this job. Could you do
this job?

Speaker 2 (35:07):
I don't think I could do this job. Yeah, I
power to him for doing this job. He is the
Timuta gravedigger.

Speaker 1 (35:19):
And you know, when you hear that, you go, that
must be a really heavy job. But do you know what,
He was so candid with me, and he said, there's
something really rewarding. I know that sounds quite grum, but
he said, it's really rewarding knowing that you can be there. Yeah,
you know, for I guess quite what can be quite
an emotional, very final time for family members. He feels

(35:42):
like he actually gives back to the community by doing
the job.

Speaker 2 (35:45):
And god, someone's got to do it right. But it
would have to be one of the weirder jobs out there,
you know. So I don't know that when you're a
youngster and they say what do you want to be
when you grow up, I don't know that many people
say gravedigger for him in the family, isn't his uncle?

Speaker 1 (36:02):
His uncle did a sit down chat with Holmes back
and did an extensive interview about being like a day
in the life of a grave digger, and it is
one of those jobs. Initially, you know, it gets the
head turning, It probably gets a double take from the
person you're talking to. So I got thinking, do you
have one of those jobs when you tell people that

(36:23):
this is what you do for a full time occupation,
do you get a strange response? And what is your job?
Oh wait, a hundred the hits. And maybe there's an
unfair perception of what you do in society, but you
can prove to us actually it's not as bad as people.
I'm not a wido. What I do for a living
is really important. Oh wait, hundred the hats is a

(36:45):
number to join the show if you want to stay anonymous.
What is the strange occupation you do for a level
many the podcast? We're talking strange occupations after one have
many conversations had. On Friday night at the Teata Hall
ball which we threw, we came across a guy who

(37:08):
was the town gravedigger and he told us about his
job and how he loved it, be doing it for years.
Almost ran in the family, his uncle was doing it,
and he told us of how it was such a
rewarding job for a living. So got us thinking, well,
do you have a strange occupation? Give us a call.
Eight hundred the Hits. Now, Ross, you're actually in a

(37:30):
very similar position. You you worked as a grave digger
for how long? Oh, you're cutting out that, Ross, can
you hear me?

Speaker 2 (37:46):
Yes, we've got your name.

Speaker 1 (37:47):
Yeah, I've got you.

Speaker 11 (37:49):
I'll standing here in the corner of christ Her.

Speaker 2 (37:53):
How long were you doing the job for, Ross?

Speaker 6 (37:56):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (37:57):
Oh god, kick you keep cutting it.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
In the corner. Fifteen years years, fifteen years. Your partner
worked in a similar industry as well, Is that right?

Speaker 6 (38:12):
The cremator where I worked? She used to cremate the people.

Speaker 1 (38:15):
Oh god, so you guys? Would would you share work
stories when you came home or was it sort of like, no,
we're not going to go there tonight?

Speaker 2 (38:23):
Still do yeah? Right? Did you meet on the did
you meet on the job? Ross and then fall in love?
Would here we did? Yeah? Right? Wow?

Speaker 5 (38:33):
And rewarding job?

Speaker 2 (38:34):
You loved it?

Speaker 3 (38:36):
Great job, great job.

Speaker 6 (38:37):
You meet so many different people saying would always make
a bad day a nice day for people that if
you could.

Speaker 2 (38:44):
I like that. Ross. That's great.

Speaker 1 (38:47):
You're not you're not doing it anymore? Ross, Well that's
what did you? What did you go on to do
after finishing up as a grave digger?

Speaker 11 (38:56):
Done a few jobs, but now I do I look
after properties.

Speaker 7 (38:59):
Mont A at the moment.

Speaker 2 (39:04):
Good on you?

Speaker 1 (39:04):
Hey, well, Ross, it's not a job that everyone could do.
So good on you for doing that for so long,
and I'm sure that you brought comfort to a lot
of people over the years.

Speaker 11 (39:14):
I've been blessed by a lot of people.

Speaker 2 (39:15):
So oh nice, beautiful. Well, yes, we did get a
call from someone who wanted to say anonymous. They want
to actually wanted us to put a voice Dakoda over,
but we can't. It can't easily do that.

Speaker 10 (39:31):
Right since youal missus, I do we get it in music? Well,
apparently we just legal answer that I wish we had
a moister coder. That was so good Tonight on sixty Minutes.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
