Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Hats Drive with Meddi and Paja thanks to chemis
Wee House the Real House of Fragrances on that.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
I'm sorry, I'm sorry you were ready.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
So what happened was you said, okay, let's do the podcast,
so our producers here, it clicked the button to record,
and then.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
I looked over at you and you were looking done.
And then so I just thought I'd get one more
cheeky button. And then I tried to retreat from the microphone,
because no one likes to listen to someone masticating over
an apple.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
No, anyway, we hear we here there was a.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Strong eye roll.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
Hey you wrong, Hey, riddle me this. So I I
had a hair cut at eleven thirty today, and so
I took Otis for a walk before then, and I
got home and I thought, manuse, you've got quite a
bit of time up my sleep. So I'm just I
was just kind of chilling. I made myself a cup
of coffee. I was still in my gym gear and
all the rest of it. And I was like, that's fine,
(00:59):
because I've got plenty of time to then get to
my haircut appointment at eleven thirty. But then at about
ten twenty, a notification popped up on my phone and
it was a reminder that I had a Zoom meeting
with people from a company that I'm doing an MCing
event for. And this was at ten twenty and the
(01:22):
Zoom meeting was at ten thirty. And I thought to myself, shit,
because I've got to obviously join the zoom at ten
thirty yeares, but if the zoom goes too long, I'm
not going to have enough time to shower and get
ready for work to make my eleven thirty haircut appointment.
(01:44):
So I thought, I'm going to risk it here, and
I'm jumping in the shower right now. But I also
had to shave, so I had to shave and shower
and then get dressed all in time for the zoom call.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
You had ten ten minutes, ten minutes.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
To do all of this, So of course, at ten
twenty eight, just hopping out of the shower, so I've
got tutes.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
You'd be like a tomato. It'd be so hot and steamy.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
Two minutes to two minutes to dry myself off, get dressed,
and then get myself set up for this Zoom call.
So I was like, I'm not making it I'm definitely
not making it. So I joined the zoom call at
ten point thirty and then used the age old excuse
of my camera's not working, so I'm just joining over
(02:31):
audio because I was literally standing naked in my bathroom trying.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
To frantically get your underpants on.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Is the yes, so many what we're envisioning for the evening.
We don't want to get the brand out there in
your ears, sous, and that sounds like a fantastic idea,
So you pull your pants round.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
So do you think my camera's not working is a
legitimate excuse?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
One hundred percent? Because think of the alternative? Now you
I think that is you think they did they buy it?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Because one of them did. One of them did go,
oh sure, but then it got moved. Then they moved
on very quickly, and I thought, I don't know if
they're buying this is an excuse or not. But I've
got a rocket because I'm either not join I meither
late to the zoom call, or I'm joining it naked,
or I'm joining it without my camera. Those were the
three options.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
So yeah, I think they totally wouldn't have borught it.
But maybe they thought that you were kind of shy
about showing your face, although Medie McClain that doesn't really.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Kind of for soda, but maybe they're like, okay, sweet.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
It's because some people do get really awkward in zooms,
do you know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
They just don't. I would much rather just join them
over audio because they make it. You can multitask, like
I can walk around the house, I can do things.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, I do it with all of our staff meetings
that we have to do.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Same because I get distracted easily as well. So the
amount of zoom meetings that I've done where I've have
been listening, but I've also then gone onto like my
Instagram page and just done scrolling through or something.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
You've got to be careful because you'll excidentally pat the
freaking video. But and then we'll all just see you
go like see tensions, just scrolling on the low.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Like I I can have it easy.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
But it got awkward because so I joined without I
just with the audio. But then we got talking about
like the brand and stuff, and I was like, I've
actually got merch from the brand, and I said I've
got a hat and everything, and they were like, oh,
I would love to see the hat and so then
I had to be like they had to be like,
oh okay, you're like.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Oh yeah, I just I mean, can you're breaking you're.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Breaking up by this top. But by this point I
was actually dressed. So then I was like, hang on,
let me see if I can let me see if
I can get this year I dude. So then then
all of a sudden, I appeared on zoom as if
I'd been done this like miraculously, wish I was on that, I.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Would have absolutely done so, or no, actually, maybe I
would have been honest and be like, hey, guys, I'm sorry,
I'm actually just getting changed. I've been thrown off, or
but that does you can do that with maybe you know,
but then it's quite an unprofessional time if you don't.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
That's what I was thinking. I was like, if I
was just doing that with like work, you know, like
without a team or something, I'd be like everyone would
be like, well who cares? But I was like, I
need to put my best football for this event, So yeah,
so I don't want them to be like, oh God,
is he going to show up on time? Or guys, you.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Won't believe it. I can't believe my phones Actually just
started working.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
Wow, Oh my god, Oh I forgured it out. Oh
look at me, God, a tech genius is so good.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Coming up in the show today, we actually talked about
why it was hard, why it's hard for really, really
hot people.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
That was good. We got some good feedback actually, Plus
we opened it up to your burning questions all of
the things you've always wanted no but don't know the
answer too. And we had two songs to try and
track down an expert with an answer for you. That
was quite fun. I think there is potent potential for
us to bring.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
This over time, for that, to bring that, to bring
that back. Which need people to get the hang of
the good questions because everyone's got them. I think you
just need to think of it. And I accidentally busted
a relationship over the weekend, so we talked about when
you discovered a secret relationship. All of that are more
coming up in the podcast. Enjoy Oh you're breaking up?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
The camera's not working man the podcast.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
I saw an interesting headline today and I couldn't help
but have a little chuckle.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
And then I thought, am I being judgmental?
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Maybe this is not fear of me to have a
little chuckle, But the headline read, hot people complain about
the horrible experience of being good looking.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
It's a burden. It's a curse. My shoulders every day
they ache.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
So the gorgeous people of the Internet have taken to
a bit of a forum to share what they believe
are the disadvantages that come with good looks, contrary to
the popular belief of having so called pretty privilege. So basically,
there were a number of interesting responses. Someone said, apparently
(07:24):
I want everyone's husband. One woman said, I've been accused
a few times of flirting with men when I'm literally
just doing my job. I don't want your crusty men.
Some days I barely don't want my own hand being
attractive enough to get hit on. But when you're not interested,
they pick out something to make you feel rubbish about
so they don't feel bad for being rejected, and so
(07:44):
on and so forth. And there were so many comments
of these really ridiculously good looking people coming together where
they could share the tougher times is not being incredibly attracted.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
There really is a safe space for everyone on the internet, isn't.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
And I think that's beautiful, Like we are only judging
because we don't know what it's like if only, if
only we could be that good looker.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
Do you know I always wonder this, Do you think
hot people know that they're hot?
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Like?
Speaker 3 (08:14):
Do you think they go walk around going I'm beautiful
like I am?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Absolutely some do, but I think genuinely some people don't
absolutely have no idea. They were probably the hardest people
on themselves.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
So do you know what?
Speaker 1 (08:27):
We're going to open this up right now on the
text machine, finish the sentence for us. It is actually
really tough being really really good looking. Because dot dot
dot and we'll keep you anonymous, and coming up later
in the show, we'll read out your texts New Zealand
edition because this took place overseas. What are the disadvantages
have been really hot?
Speaker 3 (08:47):
I feel so sorry for you already.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Don't be condescending like you that make them not want
to speak.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
No, I want to know. I want to know, may
MPG Many and PJA the.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Podcast that there are some brilliant techs coming through on
why it's actually really hard to be hot. We'll go
there coming up before four o'clock.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
But before then, is there a burning question you've always
wanted to know the answer to? But you've never quite
known where to go to find the answer. We want
you to text your burning questions through right now to
four four eight seven. Because I was out for a
walk with my dog Otis this morning and I take
him through this park which we go to regularly, and
(09:30):
there's like a few different fields, and I let him
off the leash and just goes for a run. And
I let him off the lead and he was started
running through this football field. And when I got onto
the field, I noticed that there was all of these
white patches on the field. And when I got closer
to them, they were all little patches of foam, white foam,
(09:52):
and they were everywhere. There were so many little patches
of it all over this field.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Someone cleaned their car.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Maybe it'd have gone down like the the train of
the road and then kind of seeped into the grass.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
That's not the answer, because I put it up on
my Instagram because I thought, this is a burning question
I need to know the answer to. And luckily we
had a couple of experts. In fact, the people that
were experts said, if you're in the rural community, if
you're on a farm, you'll know the answer to this question.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Peach.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
So I want to put it to the test. Do
you know the answer to what the foam would have
been on the field, because famously we live on a farm.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Oh yeah, but I don't know anything about farming.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
You know. Me shutting the gates and opening them is
literally peak capacity of my ability.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
Is it something to do with fertilizer?
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Wow, you're not actually far off. Yeah, the field has
been sprayed with something I was told. The foam is
spray marker used to show where the spray has been.
It's attached to the outside of the spray broom to
guide the driver.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Question, is it toxic for dogs?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Well, yeah I did. I kept overs away from it,
but it was a little bit dangerous and I didn't
see any signage anywhere. But anyway, that aside, I had
a burning question. I got it answered. So we thought,
let's see if we can provide the service for people.
Can we answer the burning question you've always had?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Well, someone's already ticks. And why does New Zealand not
have basements?
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Good question?
Speaker 2 (11:28):
Do we have basements?
Speaker 3 (11:29):
Not really do we? But they huge overseas in Europe
and America, everywhere every house is a basement.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
We're just not so well equipped for the apocalypse. I
suppose we don't have so many preppers here. Okay, here's
another question.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Why do you always have to put your window shaded
up for takeoff.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
And landing in a flight? How does that impact safety?
I've never got it.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
That's such a good question.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Is it so you can see out your window in
case to see if it's like constructed? That is such
an Actually, that's a really good that's probably it.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
That was really smart.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
It might be it, but we don't can't say that
with certainty. So how about this, if you've got a
burning question texted in and we're going to try and
two songs to track down an expert who can answer
this question for us.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Okay, no question is too dumb.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Don't feel like you're silly, because chances are someone else
has probably had the same question. You can text it
through now four four eight seven, or give us a
call on oh eight hundred the hats What is.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
That burning question?
Speaker 1 (12:30):
You've always wanted to know the answer and you still
haven't worked out we could be answering it.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Finally, there many in.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
PJ the podcast.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
We've opened a can of wombs here by asking you
your burning questions, the questions you've always wanted to know
the answer to, And we said, in two songs time,
we were going to try and track down the answers
to some of your questions. We can't answer all of them.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Someone said, where do you make nice single old men?
I don't know, the Bowls Club, the RACV. We personally
don't know the answers to all of these, But in
the two songs that have just played, we've tracked down
a couple of experts.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
So the first question that someone asked is why does
New Zealand not have basements? Like why the New Zealand
houses not have basements? The good news is our good
friends upstairs at one Roof Dot Coder and Zed did
an article on this exact thing, so I have an
answer for us. Okay, well, the most part is because
(13:32):
building basements in New Zealand the costs are way too
high and the due diligence to actually build a basement
underground are so complex. Apparently a basement build could cost
as much as five hundred thousand dollars, So people are
just going, we don't need it, we don't need it
in the costs too high.
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Under our toilet, you do too.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
It's above It's an above ground cellar, though, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
You go under you go, you go under ground. Okay,
it's quite cold anyway, we digress. We've got more questions
to answer that, and one of them was actually our own,
and that was the one about why do you have
to put your window shade up when taking off and
landing on a plane.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
What was the reason behind that?
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Yes, And so we tracked down a even aviation expert,
Irene King, who has an answer for us. Hi Irene. Hello, okay,
hit us hit us Irene. What's the answer.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
So it's about your MB and eyesight in the adjustment
and if there is some major incident I go on
take off for landing, and one you want to have
really good eyesight to get out real quick. And secondly
you want to be able to look out if ther
aircraft is on fire, God help us. You know, you
(14:56):
want to make sure that you go at the right side.
You don't want to be going exiting onto the side
with the engine firers.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
So it makes sense.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
It's it really is. The obvious answer, isn't.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I for peasengers. You know,
if you start thinking about things take off and leaning.
If you are going to have an event, it's take
off for leaning. You know, it's pretty rare in the crows,
and so it's just to keep everyone safe on board.
And they're like, unlikely event.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Of Okay, we don't need to feel so bad if
you do.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Sometimes have it, but halfway down and you're like, oh
my god, I'm endangering everyone else.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
No, it's actually for your own goal exactly. Okay. There
was one more question and it was to.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Penguins have knees, and I put a call through to
the extent you.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Get an expert.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
I got the guy on the ticketing desk.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
And I was like, hey, I need your answer around
and he goes, oh, and so he said, yeah, I'm
pretty sure they do.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
And then I goggled, And they do.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
They've got their leagues are built up of a fema knee,
tibia and phibula, just like yours. The you go, the
more you know, people, keep your teks coming through.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
I want more questions, many and many MPG the podcast.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
And at the beginning of the show, we were talking
about an article that came across where hot people were
complaining about the horrible experience of being good looking well.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I just I needed an outlet for my frustration, Peach,
because it is so hard being so good looking.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
So it was on readers and a thread asked people
what was your horrible experience for being attractive? Now, I
don't actually want to be patronizing or condescending. It's kind
of hard to not sound like that when you do
raise this. But at the end of the day, I'm sure,
like everything in life, there are challenges with things. It
just sounds ridiculous when you say it's hard being hot,
but people have actually text in because we've got people
(17:02):
here in New Zealand to text tend to four four
eight seven. What is the downside of being so attractive?
Someone said hard, thanks so good looking? My wife thanks.
Every woman I interact with once me then I get
in trouble.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Someone said, it's hard because people, especially men, think I'm stupid.
I'm a charted accountant.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Yeah, okay, sorry some of them. Sorry, Tam, I wouldn't know.
I look like a gargle.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
I hear you.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I hear and someone see people steer at you all
the time, and you wonder if you've got food on
your face.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Oh I do that on the daily.
Speaker 2 (17:36):
You don't need to be good looking.
Speaker 6 (17:39):
Many in the podcast.
Speaker 4 (17:46):
Battle of the Heads.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Oh it's not my mess, it's not my best.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
So look, we've decided to mix it up this week
for a Battle of the Hats. We had the wheel
of freaking alphabet fortune at the top of the hour
and it spun the letter doub.
Speaker 2 (18:02):
We both had to decide on.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
An artist and then we have to come to the
table with the artist's best song.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Usually we have a lot of time before the show
for PG and I had really delve deep into the
back catalog have a good think about what song we
want to advocate for today. We had to make hard
and fast decisions because not only when we're picking the
artist in literally a couple of minutes, but we were
also having to then figure out which song are these
we wanted to go for. So look, we've backed We've
(18:30):
just got to back at MPs.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
We got to back it in, got to back it,
back it up, back it in. Let me know you're
going to begin, me begin.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
The artist we have gone with is Whitney Houston and
Mattie what song would you like to bring to the table.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Winnie Houston is such an incomparable artist and I love
so many of her songs. Our first dance song was
I Want to Dance with Somebody, So my initial initial
thought was manually has some fun, upbeat songs. But then
I thought, no, no, no, no no no. If you're doing
Whitney Houston, you gotta do Whitney right, and the only
way to do Whitney right is with an epic power ballot.
(19:08):
So I'm taking you back to nineteen ninety three. This
song was released as part of the Bodyguard soundtrack, the
movie that Whitney Houston starred in with Kevin Costner, and
it is so incredible. Her vocals are so amazing and
so powerful you cannot help but sing along when this
(19:28):
comes on. It's my go to karaoke track. My pick
for Battle of the Hits Whitney Houston is I Have Nothing.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
I got so concerned for a second there that we
had overlapped each other and produced Sarah en miss that we've.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Got the same song.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
My song was re recorders for The Bodyguard, but it
was originally recorded in nineteen seventy three. It was written
as a farewell to Houston's business partner and mentor, expressing
her decision to pursue a solo career. It was officially
released in nineteen seventy four, but yes, it came out
(20:23):
I'm pretty sure in ninety two on the Bodyguard soundtrack.
I really hope I haven't stuffed on my fix up.
She was a quick turn around. My single for Whitney
Houston is I Will Always Love You, from the words
(20:50):
of Mattie McClain. If you're going to do Whitney Houston,
you've got to do it right with a serious power ballad.
So you have heard our two options this afternoon.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
What's your again?
Speaker 3 (21:00):
I have nothing, I have nothing, Sorry forgot the title.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
I have nothing going up against I Will Always love You.
Text Maddy or PJ E to four four eight seven
or give us a call right now on eight hundred
the Hats. The best of three will win and will
play out in its entiret.
Speaker 4 (21:21):

Speaker 1 (21:31):
We have spun the wheel of alphabet fortune for Battle
of the Hits this week, and we spun the letter
double you just after four o'clock. So we had two
songs to work out which artist we were going to
go with, and that was Whitney Houston, and then we
had to work out what we believe is Whitney's best track.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
You're aut first, Maddie, I went.

lead fifteen fourteen with Whitney I Will Always Love You
on the head.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Steve, Madi and PJ.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
The podcast.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Well off the back of two successful seasons, Mental health
advocate and influencer Jazz Thornton is back for a season
three of her Hope Is Real podcast.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
Thank you for coming in.
Speaker 10 (25:01):
Well, thank you guys for having me.
Speaker 3 (25:03):
How much do you love doing this podcast?
Speaker 10 (25:06):
I love it so much. I love being able to
hear people's stories from literally all around the world, and
every story is so different that like it just I
feel so inspired and I'm listening to these people and
then getting to share that with everyone around the world
is so cool.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
So on the season, well, on this upcoming season, you
got Shorty Street actress Angela Bloomfield.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
Does she get really candid?
Speaker 3 (25:28):
She does, she does.
Speaker 10 (25:30):
She's talked about things that I don't think she's talked
about publicly before, which has been really cool that she
kind of trusted us to tell that story with her.
But yeah, I hadn't met her before that episode, actually,
so I was really stoked that she trusted me to
do that.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
And you yourself, I know, I've gotten very personal and
raw this season as well, with the struggles that you've
been going through over the last kind of eighteen months.
Speaker 10 (25:52):
Really, yeah, it was a decision that I made probably
about six months ago that I wanted to talk about it,
but I wanted to make sure that I was okay
before I did. And yeah, it was scary because I'm
so used to talking about things that happened in such
a far distant past of my teenage yeers and childhood
and to be like, actually, I ended up back there
(26:13):
again and I had to, you know, put both feet
on the ground and just have to really dig in
and go. It was hard to admit, but yeah, recovery
is not linear.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
But do you think with all of the work that
you've done over the you know, over your adult life,
do you feel like you were in a place where
you actually were able to use some of the tools
that you've spoken about spoken to other people about to
get through that tough time.
Speaker 6 (26:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (26:39):
Absolutely. Like I remember talking to my therapist at the
time and I was saying, I feel like I'm in
the same spot. I don't understand how I'm here again,
and I'm feeling this way and wanting to do these things,
and she said, Jazz, the feelings are the same, but
your response is very different this time, Like you're asking
for how earlier you're doing the things that you wouldn't
have done as a teenager. And that was really reassuring,
and go, I, actually, yeahs are the same, because this
(27:01):
is really hard, but I have the tools to be
able to hit this back faster than I did previously
and not end up way worse, you know, which had
happened beforehand.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Now, obviously season three is coinciding with Mental Health Awareness Week,
which is super important and is an advocate for mental health.
How do you reckon we are going as a country?
I mean, you've been working in this sort of arena
for the last few years. How do you think things
are going at the moment.
Speaker 10 (27:29):
I'm really proud of this country. I think that in
regards to having the conversations, we are ten million steps
ahead of so many countries. Like the fact that even
you guys will talk about it and so much media
will be open with having these conversations is so huge.
I think now it's just turning the focus in from
telling people every day to ask for help and turning
(27:50):
it into how do we collectively learn how to reach
in and offer that help as well? And I think
that's just kind of the shift that we're making. But
I think there's always so much like negative stuff around
the mental health system is so bad, and absolutely, you know,
there's so much for improvement. But I think it's a
really good week for us to step back and go
actually we've done a really good job. Like you say,
(28:12):
we're talking man, we're talking about the stuff like ear
in on TV, like what that doesn't happen ten years ago?
Speaker 1 (28:18):
And blokes are talking more as well, I think, which
is huge, which would never have.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
Happened back in the day.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
And I'm not saying it's happening all the time, but
it's definitely happening more than it did.
Speaker 7 (28:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (28:28):
Yeah, And I don't think we I don't think we
create our country and our people enough for that.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
And finally we're finding things that bring us joy. Right,
what brings you joy at the moment?
Speaker 10 (28:37):
Oh my gosh, my pillars?
Speaker 2 (28:40):
So you do pilarates.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
I'm obsessed with pilates.
Speaker 10 (28:43):
I think it's because it's so hard that my brain
can't think of anything else, because I'm like supposed to
be aware of what he'd like what.
Speaker 3 (28:51):
Partes and puppies. That's good.
Speaker 10 (28:54):
I would love to mix them both, like parties class.
Speaker 3 (28:57):
I love that.
Speaker 5 (28:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Well, look, Jay's thought and her season three of Hope
is Real podcast is out today, so you can go
listen on iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts. And look,
if you or anyone you know is struggling at the moment.
You can always call one seven three seven anytime in
the game.
Speaker 4 (29:16):
Many and Many and Pja the podcast The Heads.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
On the weekend, my husband and I went on a
bit of a cute romantic mission.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Because we live off grid, we needed.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
To get a load of wood, which some people find
confusing as we head into the warmer months. But however
we need We need so much wood to keep water going,
Like everything in our house depends on our fire and
we're going to get that fixed eventually because it's quite
a floor come the summer days. So we decided to
(29:51):
get in the car, make trip of it, go and
pick some wood up and then go out for lunch afterwards.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
It's so cute. I'll tell you what though, boy with
the worst job when I was a kid as always
stacking the wood at our house. I hated it.
Speaker 8 (30:03):
Yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (30:06):
Did not participate in that. I somehow won't get distracted.
But when we arrived at the guy's heart to pick
up the woods, we were going up the driveway, I said,
p J is.
Speaker 2 (30:19):
That I'm going to use Emma here, just to not
throw anyone on Emma.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
He goes yeah, and they walk out the driveway as
a couple.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Emma and the woodman.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
The woodman, let's just call him the woodman.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Could we call him Jack, like lumberjack.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
Yeah, okay, So Jack and Emma walking off the lane,
and I'm like, think about these guys, these guys together,
because we never heard anything of this before. Last time
I saw Emma, she was young and free in a
single little bee and as I put down the window,
I go.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
Is he saying you're here? I really love franking of it?
And then she just went right rid.
Speaker 1 (31:06):
And so we're just kind of like in this situation
where we're talking about the wood but there's like this
elephant in the room, like you.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
Guys, you guys, couple show.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
It wasn't until they the guy started loading up the
truck with the wood I got to walk off with them,
and they like about what's going on here, and She's like, yeah,
well we've actually, you know, I've been seeing each other.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
For a while. I've been staying here.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
And it was just one of those moments it was
like we we caught him him.
Speaker 2 (31:35):
I mean to be fair, it wasn't like a scandalous
a fear in.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
Absolutely, and they're right, but it was one of those
moments where the chances of us going to get the wood,
and then we see who Emma who happens to actually
be one of Bejo's like doesn't my cousins because he's
related to everyone, And there we stumbled upon the relationship.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Imma liked Jack's wood.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
Didn't she?
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Just have you ever stumbled across like a like? I
know this isn't so sacred? I have you sort of
uncovered a relationship.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Two of my flatmates. They were both happily single and
friends and we lived together, and we went on a
trip away together for a weekend and at the house
that we were sharing for the weekend, I discovered late
in the night one of them sneaking into the other
(32:28):
one's room.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
What did you catch the mid hallway? Like dash?
Speaker 3 (32:33):
They are now No, they are now married with children.
Speaker 2 (32:37):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (32:38):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
And how long have they been keeping it under?
Speaker 4 (32:40):
It?
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Well?
Speaker 3 (32:41):
Actually I don't know a few months. I think that
done pretty well. But I busted them. I caught them.
Speaker 2 (32:46):
Oh eight hundred the hats.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
Let's get some juicy stories, because I get mine was
kind of low level, but I reckon we can work
out from here.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
Oh waite hundred the hats.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
We've actually got a double pass, actually a family pass
to give away to Transformers one which is in cinema tomorrow,
just in time for school holidays. When did you uncover
a little secret relationship? When did you discover that two
people were dating and it was supposed to be on
the heart?
Speaker 4 (33:13):
Mary J. Mady and PJ the podcast The Heads.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
When did you uncover a little hush hush relationship? How
did you accidentally stumble upon it? Oh, eight hundred hats
to join the show? Hello, Kylie, Hello, what happened with you?
We're very well well.
Speaker 9 (33:33):
I we actually snapped out my mother, Oh so yeah.
She had been separated from my dads for quite a while,
like several years, and she was always really like she
had been the only man she'd ever been with her
whole life. So I think that's kind of why it
was a big secret for her or something that she
(33:54):
was quite uncomfortable to talk about anybody, lett alone her
own children. And then we exically started finding like on
the weekend excessed like burger king rubbish. I was like
to go through a drive through on her way home
and an over after drinking, but she couldn't eat that
(34:16):
many burgers. I just knew it wasn't her, and she started.
Speaker 7 (34:20):
Blaming it on the neighbours thriving it's also.
Speaker 9 (34:24):
And then we were getting ready for school and I
remember I was like super anxious about something I had
at school that day, was something, and I got up
real early and I remember seeing this man who I
thought was robbing us, leaving our house in the morning.
And that's when Mum can't.
Speaker 7 (34:40):
Like everything was blown. Mum's cover was Asians. We put
all the pizzas together and yeah, they came out there. Yeah,
they'd been together for quite some time.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Your mom found the king that.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Brilliant William got a family past you that you got
Transformers one and centemons tomorrow.
Speaker 5 (35:03):
Oh choice, social footh.
Speaker 4 (35:08):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
Or it's got a.
Speaker 1 (35:09):
Lisa, I like hundred the hurts. When did you stumble
across a secret relationship?
Speaker 7 (35:17):
I was pa to a director for an accounting firm
in Auckland and I stumbled across him having an asphere
with one of our senior managers from his phone resorts.
Speaker 3 (35:30):
Wait, wait, so you were looking at the phone records
and realized that they were calling each other a lot.
Speaker 7 (35:36):
Yeah, it was ridiculous. That was I think it was
five hundred and something to one number, and I was like, hey,
in a minute, that number looks familiar, and I figured
out it was our senior manager and then, oh my god.
So another part of my role I had to do
accommodation bookings, and there was this one particular accommodation booking
(35:57):
that I couldn't reconcile, and he made me chat it
to a client. But I'm I think it was those
two amazing. She came to me asking she wanted to
put a pin on her phone so her toddler children
couldn't get in. But I knew that the toddler children.
I knew it was to keep her husband toddler children.
Speaker 3 (36:19):
To myself.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
There's also jo quickly, let's lead.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Did you do the story? Quakerkay okay?
Speaker 8 (36:29):
I saw a DJ for several years, and I was
down in the Deep South, and I had done a
wedding many have done in the past, and walked in
and to find that the best man doing unquestionable things
with the bride, only to like things that a band
in certain countries, only to find out later on that
they actually had the bride and groom actually had an
(36:51):
open relationship, and the best man was actually part of
the open relationship.
Speaker 3 (36:55):
Yes, but on the wedding night. On the wedding night,
I know.
Speaker 8 (37:00):
Wow, we're talking early two thousands, so I don't know
if that sort of thing was.
Speaker 2 (37:04):
Very progressive, very progressive.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
Wow, Leanie, far juicier than I thought it was going
to be. The segment.
Speaker 4 (37:11):
I love it, Madi and PJ. The podcast.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
The People's Poll, the People's Poll, everybody comes together.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
It's the People's Poll, and it is time for the
People's Pole.
Speaker 1 (37:23):
Don't forget. We chuck this up on our Instagram story.
The Hatstrive with Matti and PJ every afternoon so you
can weigh in before you even find out what the
People's Poll is on air.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
People have been doing that already today, so we've got
a very very strong showing in terms of what people
think and how they feel. This was inspired by the
fact that I, as I mentioned, had been helping to
organize this hens do that. We threw a couple of
weeks ago, and I was in charge of the finances,
(37:54):
so the people that were coming paid me, and then
I had to then distribute the funds to the various
things that we were buying saying for said hen's due,
and I got an invoice through and then I realized
yesterday that it was basically the last day that I
was meant to pay this invoice. I hadn't paid it.
Mesk you I know, I think I just get it
(38:15):
through and I think I'll deal with you later. I
can't bother dealing with you right now, like bills and stuff.
You know, yeah, financial admin a it is yucky, But
then it's stressful because then it's like literally the last
day to pay it, and I'm like, oh my god,
i'till haven't paid that thing. And I did get a
friendly little text reminder from the person that I was
(38:36):
that I owed money to, being like just reminding you, like,
your invoice is due, and I was like, oh my god.
If I just paid this on the day that I
got it, we wouldn't have this issue. But here I am.
This is me, people, this is me.
Speaker 1 (38:48):
So that is the question this afternoon, when you receive
a bill or an invoice, do you pay it immediately
or do you wait some time?
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Text through to four four eighty seven.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
I'm going to say I used to wait, but now
I would say majority of the time it stresses me
out if I don't, and I'm worried that I'm in
a mess at good. I know I'll get a reminder,
but I would say I'm prompt, now, good for you.
Speaker 2 (39:09):
Prompt.
Speaker 3 (39:09):
Okay's grown up and listens to an airport and you
need a flight to pitch? Yeah and voices? Fine?
Speaker 7 (39:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
Tick through Football at seven will reveal the results.
Speaker 9 (39:21):
Nick Maddy and PJ.
Speaker 4 (39:26):
Mady and Pj the podcast.
Speaker 3 (39:28):
This the Pep Pool's Poll, the Big Pool's Poll.
Speaker 4 (39:32):
Everybody comes together, It's the Big Pools Poll.
Speaker 1 (39:34):
All right. The question is today, how prompt are you win?
Paying and voices or bells? Is it straight away or
do you wait until the last minute until you get
like your food follow up message saying excuse me, can
you please pay?
Speaker 3 (39:47):
Okay, I'm not that bad. I'm not a food follow
up message kind of a guy. But I might be
a friendly reminder, Like a friendly reminder. You've got an
invoice to pay, and I know I need to be.
Speaker 8 (39:56):
Used to be.
Speaker 1 (39:57):
I used to be terrible with parking fines, and I
just let them build up and build up and build up,
and then I just pay them all together.
Speaker 3 (40:02):
That's luckily when you're sticking it to the man. I
don't have a problem.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
You recket stick it to the man. Okay. So the
overall result for paying invoices on.
Speaker 3 (40:14):
Time, seventy seven percent of people said, you've got to
do it immediately.
Speaker 2 (40:19):
Yeah, so that's it's the anxiety.
Speaker 7 (40:22):
For me.
Speaker 2 (40:22):
I just actually feel way more at ease once I've
done it.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Yes, it sucks, but like, at least you know how
much money you've got lived and like I know, it's
it's more fun.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
To have more than I'm going to take a leaf
out of your book in this instance.
Speaker 6 (40:37):
In this instance, Mary and PJ Mady and PJ the
podcast that's
