Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Hits Drive with Median Paja thanks to Chimis were
House the Real House of Fragrances on that Hello everyone,
welcome to the podcast. You're going to not hear from
us for a while, so lucky you. Your ears are
going to take a nice deserved break like we are.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Yes, we've got a week off page.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
You're going across the ditch to somewhere I have wanted
to go to for a long time.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Yeah, that's been on our bucket last for a really
long time.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
But it's also one of those things I feel like
it's kind of like, you know, a lot of New
Zealanders don't really travel the country. They don't see yea,
our own backyard because you often when you go on holiday,
you go to go to crazy places over in Europe,
or you might go, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
The Instagram pretty one.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Yes, and so we don't do things closer to home.
And that's much the same with Australia. You know, you
might pop across the ditch and go to Melbourne or
Sydney or the Goldie or something like that. We are
going right to the center of Australia, right into the desert.
We're going to Ularu to ears wrong.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I feel like the sun rises there will be gorgeous.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
So we've got the sunsets.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
We've got both. We've got sunrise to a book.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
We've got a like Diggers station dinner set up underneath.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Oh you little chess, I can't wait. Here's a question
for you. So you know my coubra I wore.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I got one of those big, wide brimmed hats once
and it sits in my wardrobe and I very rarely
get the opportunity to wear it. I wore it just
the other week to the hall Wall. Do I take
it with me to Australia.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Because it needs to fear the feedback and New Zealand
hasn't been the best.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
No to mock the cobra.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
No, But I feel like that was more about the
what I was wearing it with. I don't know that
it really like. I don't know that I vibed it
with the suit I was wearing. But I think if
I was in Australia in the.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Shirt and some short yeah, some songs on.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
With like a bit of hay, like hanging out my
mouth or something, nah, I don't think. Okay, but you
know what, but you know what, I'm saying right, like
maybe the vibe would be different, Yes, but the issue
is like it won't go on my suitcase because it
will get squashed.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
So nuggaly to pack a hat like that, that's always
the issue. But he wants to take a head like that,
And I'm like, it's just one thing you're gonna have
to lug around. You're gonna have to take that on.
Is carry on, aren't you?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah? So do I take it with me? Is carry on?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Just wear it the whole time?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
But is that? But is that the thing? Am I
going to get enough? Like cosp who we are out
of it?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
If I do? If I bring it with me?
Speaker 4 (02:44):
I think if you take it, you just gotta wear it.
You just got to rock it.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
It'll be pretty cute, pretty cute in the photo.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Every single photo. This is gonna become.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Oh maybe this will take over the running identity that's
completely overtaking me.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Maybe you'll just be Cobra.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Maybe maybe maybe you're becoming a Cobra ambassador.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Imagine that that would be fun. I'd love that.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Like, they need to get your bit?
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Does it not fat? Do you not think she looks good?
Speaker 4 (03:12):
I'm just taking them do you.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Well, I'll let you know how that goes. When we
returned from our holiday.
Speaker 5 (03:17):
What do you do?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Have the have the best time? I mean it, and
you so deserve that. And we've had such a fun
year this year. But I feel like we just we
just need a little recit of the bet and I
can't come wait to come back with a bit more energy,
a bit.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
More to get the end of the year, which is
honestly like so close, so close. Christmas is going to
be fast upon us by the time I get back
from Australia.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
The Christmas tree, it'll be time.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Do you like Christmas cake?
Speaker 6 (03:45):
No?
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Like a like a Christmas mint pod kind of thing.
Speaker 5 (03:50):
I do like.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I like the I like the Christmas I do like
a little tart.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
I don't mind it, okay.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Do you remember the Christmas pudding that you can get
in that like round thing and then you'd have crusted
on it?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yes, not my jam, your jam though.
Speaker 7 (04:07):
No.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I just thought about it, and I thought, actually that
was quite young. I wouldn't have it all the time
now or anything, but I just remember those little cakes
that were coming that like around circular container. You'd hate
it up and then you have cast it over.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Oh my god, like that?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
What are you doing for your holiday?
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Going to christ Church, going to cheach and then coming

He not?
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Really?
Speaker 5 (04:56):

Speaker 1 (04:56):
No, not properly. He'd only give it a little like
a trim like your bush at home. You know how
that guy took off the top. He's not taking off
the whole thing just to a manicure.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
No, I don't think many guys would do that.

Yeah that freaks me out.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah no, you just trim, You're just tidy and as Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
So no, I think he actually means it for his mustache, right,
But I don't know.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Transition of us getting like hopefully well bit baby bitter,
but probably.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
I think we started pretty well.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, that's true. That's true.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
No, I don't know insistently, I've definitely got a little loose.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I like it coming up.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
In today's show, we talked about when you looked like
a deck at work event.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Yeah, I made a bit of a faux part one
last night. Plus we talked about when you accidentally bumped
into a salib.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And no funny money made a return. It wasn't our,
worst wasn't It wasn't our. It wasn't our, it was
it was middle of the somewhere in the middle of.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
And I had a birthday surprise from Eddie too.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
It was very cute.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Enjoying the podcast.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
The podcast, Hey I've got a story. So I was
on the plane today. We've been traveling. We had a
fancy schmoozie client e vent and FUNA day last night.
And I got on the flight to Palmerstan North this
morning and as I was getting on and finding my seat,
(07:06):
I sort of came up to fifteen B and I
sat down and I saw the lady next to me,
and I said hello. And at that moment I tell
she did not want to talk to me. You know how,
like instantly it's quite important on the plane, like to
give off vibes if you're in for the long haul
chat or not.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
This is why, and I think I've said it before,
this is why I always start a flight with my
headphones in, because then I can make the callers to
whether I talk to the people or not.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Well she didn't look she wasn't being rude, but it
was just quite It was just quite quick, quite brief hello,
and then she looked the other way and looked out
the window.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
I was like, sweet, happy days.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
It's all good. I'm actually quite tired, so I'm going to.
Speaker 8 (07:42):
Have a nap.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
And it was sort of about oh, maybe thirty minutes
before landing, and we'd been given the snack in the
cup of coffee.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
What'd you go with I.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
She didn't get anything. I did the thing where I
pretended to be a slate. I pretended to be slap.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
I couldn't be follow this cookie.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Always get the cookie.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
No, they don't do the cocky meta.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
They do the bliss bar, the little blissful and the
flavored popcorn. Right anyway, the lady next to me the
flavored popcorn.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
And I was awake at this point now, but.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
She proceeded to bypass me and asked the guy across
the aisle, not even like right next to her. So
there was her, me, the ale, and this other guy
and she goes, excuse me, you couldn't help me open
this bag of popcorn?
Speaker 4 (08:33):
And I was like, am I chopped lover? Like right
here right beside you.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
One of two things that's happened to you, I reckon.
First of all, she knows exactly who you are. And
she's like, there's no way that PJ. Harding is opening
this packet of popcorn without some sort of awkward embarrassing
this hat like the popcorn's going over it all.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Down the aisle.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Yeah, she looked at your dainty little hands and just
thought there's no way she going to be able to
get this open for me.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
No, I tell you what it was, and I don't
blame her. Like one, look at this guy.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
He was like the rock. His muscles were bulging.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
He looked like he was about to go and do
some ultra marathon or something. This dude was going to
get this popcorn open in a second, and he did.
To be fair, he did. But I did feel kind
of ripped off that I didn't get the chance to.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Help you like a popcorn.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
At least, lease let me try my hand in it
before you go to the guy next to me.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Little did she know that I came seventh and discuss
in the South siland fifteen. Thank you very much, Mady
ANDJ Mady n PJ the podcast.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
But before then, you and I, as you mentioned just before,
page had a little client event that we needed to
go to last night.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
A little schmoozie.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
The interesting thing is are we the best foot forward? Like,
are we really the faces that you want out there
representing the company?
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Look, I would say you're definitely the professional one of.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Us, which is saying something you're the.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Good one of a bad bunch.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
But now it's it is so interesting because all of
a sudden we just have to shift into this client demo,
which is not something that comes natural to me.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
There was a lot of and what do you do great?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
And so how long have you been in that? And
so how's the sale of gumboat?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
A small talk class was on fire?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
And how how much do we gravitate to that grazing pleasure?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
So this is the thing.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
So we arrive at this event and the speeches have
already started, so we have to sneak in through the back,
but we were already made a scene because the person
couldn't figure out how to open the door to let
us in, so we'd already made a scene. We arrived
at this event and immediately the speeches were going on,
and PJ and I looked over to the side and
saw the grace tables.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
We had an agent for a good three hours, and
you know that if we haven't eaten for that long,
we're start getting angry and we start we just we're
not on our game.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Forget about it.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
So I had to try and sneak our way around
the back of the audience with the speeches going on,
so that we could then start eating the food at
the crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
And just a disclaimer, we were not as subtle.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
As we thought we were.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Everyone turned their heads as we were like trying to
subtly put a bit of pizza, put a bit of
bruschetta in our mouth.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Everyone was watching.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
But there was an even more awkward moment that happened
because there was a series of speeches that were going on,
and so each time there was a different speech that
there would be an introduction to the next speaker.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
This is so good.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
And at one point I heard someone at the lec
turn at the microphone say, our next speakers are amazing.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
They are no, no, no, no, no, outrageously telling, rageously talented.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Man, I think magnificent, was said as well, and I went, well,
this is our cue.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
So laterally, as the words came out her mouth saying outrageously,
Maddy did that thing where he sort of humbly looked
to the ground and then hessily and started walking for us.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I had for another few speakers, and because we were
at the very back of the room, I had to
tell people to move.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I was like, sorry, sorry, thank you, this is me Sorry.
I was.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I knew the order of the speakers, and I was like,
we're not on for another three guests. Shut up, put
the brakes on, and stand still. Maddy had already like
moved about two or three meters forward.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
So then I have to awkwardly do a shuffle back
to PJ and stand there and wait for our turn.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
I could not keep a straight face after that. It
was so funny.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
I absolutely mortified myself at a work event.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
You know what the beautiful figure is.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
A work event is a very common ground where a
lot of people make a fall of them subsolutely, whether
it's a Christmas dough, a function where you're supposed to
be schmoozing, impression, a board meeting. How did you make
an absolute toll of yourself at a workdough?
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Make made me feel better about himself.
Speaker 8 (13:28):
Because the confidence levels oh under to join the show
takes four four eight six the podcast.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I just want to know when you made a toll
of yourself or a fall of yourself and front of
your work colleagues at a work dough.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I did that last night.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Mady did so good.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
So there was someone up there introducing the next guest,
because there were a number of speakers last night at
the event, and they said, look, the next guest is
just outrageously talented which is very generous, very very generous.
Speaker 9 (14:11):
And at that point Matty just leaped forward anticipated this
was his moment, only to find it actually no, it
was still about three gears to go until it was
our time to talk.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I'll wait one hundred the hits to join the show.
Marty is joining us today, Marty, Hey, how are you good?
Speaker 10 (14:29):
What?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Heaven?
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Marty?
Speaker 11 (14:31):
Okay, So we were at a we were hosting a
client function and a friend of mine, so the whole
theme was Latin American and the food, the drink, everything
was seemed. And then my colleague had volunteered to get
up and do sorcer with a friend. And they're about
(14:55):
thirty seconds into it and we just hear this the
government split.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Like we're we're on the body, we're on the video.
We're talking about crucial place.
Speaker 11 (15:09):
Yeah, crucial, crucial hanging out. But they were reasonably well covered.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
God, and this is I think you can go back
to work after that? Is this in front of like
big bosses and everything, Marty?
Speaker 11 (15:23):
Oh yeah, like our whole office and then the entire
head honch shows the company that we were trying to work.
I'm really glad it was asked for a huge drinks.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Hey, it makes an impression though, Marty, that's a story.
They'll be telling that story.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Wow, Alisha is joining us, like hundred hats Hi, Alisha,
When did you make a fool of yourself at a workday?
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Well? Fortunately it wasn't me. Unfortunately it was my event.
So I used to put for a tech company and
in Australia, and I was in charge of all of
the sales and marketing stuff. So we had really flashed
it in Melbourne at one of the Master Chef Guys
restaurants and it was like really high brow, quite straight
(16:14):
up and down clients and everything was going really well.
We brought out one of our product guys from Taiwan
to do like a big presentations. We had all of
these screens and like this speaker system. It was really loud,
and he got up and open his laptop and some
adult entertainment that he had previously been perusing. I guess
(16:36):
for everybody, and all the Australians in the room just
roared with laughter, the funniest thing, and they wouldn't stop
talking about it. I was mortified because of the way
that the structure works. I was like a a non
Taiwanese woman. So I couldn't like bring it up ever
again because he was like above me. So it was
like an unmentionable Yeah, it was like the worst of.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
You here, of both stories.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
And you're like, nah, that doesn't.
Speaker 2 (17:04):

And PJ the podcasts No Funny.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
No Money Alright, eg, get your best gags ready because
it's time for No Funny, No Money. One of our segments,
i'd say, is a real fifty fifty.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
But that is the that is almost the point of
the game. It's not meant We're not meant to get
a laugh. We're not meant to laugh at every single
joke that comes in.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
We can't have Seinfeld every week.
Speaker 12 (17:42):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
And we've got a hardballer as well, Peach.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
So you and I've got to have a poker face
because it is our job to try and hold on
to these fifty dollars.
Speaker 2 (17:49):

them to anyone.
Speaker 1 (17:52):

do you reckon? You're a bit of a Seinfeld.
Speaker 13 (17:58):

a joke that I've even told.

Conversation?
Speaker 2 (21:07):
I was running a bit late. I thought.
Speaker 12 (21:11):
I did my back at the gym, so I was like,
you know, I think I might treat myself to a
little steak here. I was feeling sorry for myself and
then PJ just went and revealed it to New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
For that, it makes you, It makes you relatable.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
Late because of a steak.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
A hundred percent.
Speaker 12 (21:29):
This is just everyday people talk, you know, and it's
actually revealed my my next endeavor as a ambassador for
a beef fragrance.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
So O to Beef is what I'm calling it.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
We're Carter and earlier in the week about here's some
fragrance and now we've got you in.
Speaker 12 (21:46):
Yeah, I'm sorry, Dan, I'm coming. I'm coming for your money,
mate to beef.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Now match, it's actually a bit of sweet reason that
you're on today. You've obviously got a new single, Beautiful
Stranger at Us, but you're actually stepping away from music
for a while.
Speaker 12 (22:02):
I am, yeah, I mean and definitely I wouldn't call
it a full stop, but maybe a semi colon.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
If you will.
Speaker 12 (22:08):
Yeah, but yeah, look, it's a very, very crazy, at
times evil industry, and I think the love had just
came out of it for me, and I don't want
to be doing anything I'm not fully, total, fully passionate about.
And not to say that I haven't loved playing shows
like that's been the one thing that I just wouldn't
(22:29):
change to the world, you know, interacting with the people
and sharing those moments has been the blessing of a lifetime, honestly,
But everything else around it has been really challenging, and
it's been challenging for me as an artist with my
relationship with my fans because a lot of these times
I haven't been able to say what's going on. In
some ways, I still kind of can't, but I'm sure
(22:51):
I'll get to reveal all one day. But it's yeah,
it's very bittersweet's it sucks, really, but I've got this
amazing music, what I believe is my best music to
sort of hang my hat on coming out well today
and in a few weeks time with the album. So
it's it is bitter, but it's also sweet.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
And can I just say that will really resonate with
so so many people, the idea that you should never
be doing something that doesn't make you one hundred percent happy.
Speaker 12 (23:20):
Yeah, and I feel like, you know, a lot of
people think that this is all rainbows and fairy breed.
You know, it's it's really not. It's you know, people
hear yourself on the radio and think you're rich, and
I wish that that was the case, but it's, you know,
it's again, it's sort of one of those things that's
just a bit of a misconception. And you know, I'm
glad to and proud to be a person that can
(23:42):
step away from something that people may be perceiving to
go extremely well. But you know, I'm working on something
that I've wanted to be longer than a musician, and
and that sort of sets my heart on fire at
the moment. And yeah, I mean, I just didn't want
to flog a dead horse and continue to do this
if I didn't love doing it. So yeah, it's it's
(24:03):
it's a hard decision, but a good one, I feel.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Ten times later, I want to know what are you
currently pursuing that you that sets your heart on fire?
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Is this something you haven't told us.
Speaker 12 (24:13):
Yeah, So, I mean, I won't reveal everything today, but
it's it's something in it's something in the media space,
and it's something that that people will not be expecting
from me at all, and I'll be having to build
a completely new audience because I'm pretty sure a lot of.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
My fans won't be interested.
Speaker 12 (24:32):
But it's yeah, it's something that I've loved for for
a very long time and I'm very passionate about and yeah,
I'm looking forward to sort of yeah being in this
this similar space to you guys.
Speaker 2 (24:44):

nine months, but we've known each other so much longer
than that.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
We missed over ten years ago.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
I thought, Okay, I don't have much time. I thought
about this last minute.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
I was going to say, at what point did you
think about doing two o'clock? This after great?
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Okay, so I decided to play to my strengths and
write a rep for you.

I actually reached out to your husband for a guest
line on The Red.

the studio a little bit earlier.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
We've got all Black legend Dan Carter coming in. So
we're very lucky.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
But sometimes even we get surprised by celebrities and they
they take us, they catch us off guard. We're not
expecting them, we're not ready for them, and that is
exactly what happened this morning to John O. Benn and
Meghan our breakfast show in the morning when they were
interviewing the Wiggles. Now that was a pre planned interview.
(29:32):
They knew the Wiggles were coming in, and the Wiggles
were in studio. They just sat down, they turned the
mics on and they just started speaking to the Wiggles,
and then all of a sudden they noticed a very
famous face.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Peering through the window of the studio. You hear the
Wiggles and great to have David Williams.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
Look, we've got David Williams.
Speaker 2 (29:50):
He's peering through the studio window right now.
Speaker 12 (29:52):
This is like a crossover of children's entertainment that we
never thought we'd have.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
The Wiggles meeting David Williams all live on the Red
Davis He's coming and now he's the fresh You guys
look quite look you were quite excited about David Williams.
Speaker 4 (30:07):
Finger my childhood right here. Such a good crossover.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
You can actually see the video at the hittsbreak first
on Instagram.
Speaker 4 (30:20):
But the Wiggles were like pretty starstruck.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
I rec David Williams is a huge star and he
was in the building for another interview and he just
brought himself in. He led himself into the studio said
hello to the Wiggles and they were very excited to
see him.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
You have interviewed a lot of people in your time, Madie.
Have you ever been caught off guarsh with a sillyb yourself?
Speaker 14 (30:40):
I have.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Actually, I was in New York with some friends and
on holiday, and we were on a street and we
stopped to get a photo taken because it was a
very cool mural on a wall. And as we were
posing for the photo, we noticed a woman had kind
of was walking towards us on the path and she'd
stopped because obviously she didn't want to walk through the photo.
(31:03):
And we went on, no, no, no, no, that's fine,
that's fine, come on through it, come on through. And
so then she said thank you so much, have a
good day, and walked through. And then as she walked through,
I went, oh, my god, that's Kirsten Dunced.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
Kristen Dunced. Yeah, you talked to her, but like, not
even in a work environment.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
No, she was just on the street in New York
and shit, and she stopped so that we could pose
for our photo in front of this bloody mural.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
When you realized it was her. Did you go on
run after it?
Speaker 3 (31:31):
I was tempted too, but she had already kind of
gone by that point, and I thought I'm going to
let her be. Yeah, but I was like, I couldn't
believe it because it was just so not the environment
I thought I would ever see.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Kirstin Dunston.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
I was in the line for some Vietnamese down the road.
There's this great Vietnamese joint and I looked around and
Lord was right behind me.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
And this was like at the peak of lost fame,
And well, do you think I played it cold?
Speaker 2 (31:56):
No, of course not.
Speaker 6 (31:57):
What did you do?
Speaker 1 (31:59):
I think I'd like, I don't know, but I remember
once I'd ordered my delicious soap, I decided I couldn't
leave the establishment without telling her how great she is.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Said, Hey, man, I just got to say I love
your will I just keep doing, keep doing what you're doing,
Doing what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
She was like, who is this random person? Thanks of
the pep talk, whoever you are. You know those moments
you're like.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
I'll regret it if I don't let me tell you.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
I regretted the fact.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
That I did say something in that situation. Hey, but
the good news is Lord's keep doing what she's doing.
So maybe she took it to.
Speaker 6 (32:33):

It was some years back my friend and I were
shopping in Smuss and Coe and we were just like
walking around and we saw this very very petite but
very very beautiful woman and my friend was kind of
smiling at her, and I was smiling at her because
I was thinking, you know, you should go talk to her.
And then what happened was I went up to the
counter and I was looking at her, and I think
she's very familiar, but I didn't think it was anyone famous.
(33:27):
I just hid anyone ever told you you look exactly
like here the small and from the m people. And
I didn't say that to you though, but and then
she goes, I should hope so because I am.

I say, oh, are you touring or something? And she
said no, I'm actually here to promote my solo album.

Speaker 3 (35:22):
I once got surprised by Prince William who hopped out
of a taxi when I was walking on the sidewalk
in Mayfair in London.
Speaker 2 (35:27):
What a surprise.
Speaker 4 (35:29):
That's pretty cool?
Speaker 1 (35:29):
Should we go rag on the fines? And I was
joining us right hand the hats? Now when did you
run into us?

Well, it makes you, makes you real, makes you real.
Speaker 6 (36:31):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and Pj.
Speaker 7 (36:34):
The podcast, The Heads, the People's Poll, the People's Pole,
Everybody comes together.
Speaker 6 (36:40):
It's the People's Pole.
Speaker 4 (36:42):
Voice break when I see it each year, and.
Speaker 2 (36:44):
It didn't sound like it did well.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
I sometimes just feel like I'm going.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
Through Beauty.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Just goes. It was going very high.
Speaker 4 (36:52):
Just then, Okay, it's time to the People's Part.
Speaker 1 (36:55):
We did this on the show every day and we
chuck it up on our Instagram story The Hats Drive
with Maddy and AJ so you can always go and
way in there.
Speaker 3 (37:03):
Today's is inspired by birthdays because it is my birthday
on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
And Susy doesn't like a bit.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
I don't, I don't, I don't love a fast. But today,
just before the show, producers here came into the studio
and said, come with me, Come with me, and I
walk out and blasting spice girls in the in the
office and they have a plate full of chocolate chip cookies,
which is my favorite.
Speaker 5 (37:31):
I know.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
I actually tipped the boss off, did you? I go,
what is Maddy's favorite treat? And I got he loves
his chop chop cookies. But I don't know, like he
probably loves a lot more than that. No, No, that
is that.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
That sums me up perfectly. And so then it got
us thinking, is this the new norm? You know, we
don't do birthday cakes anymore?
Speaker 2 (37:49):
We do others.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
You know, you do donuts, or you do chocolate chip cookies,
or you might do anice chicken nuggets.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
I've seen chicken nuggets.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
Sausage roll cake or something like that. You know, the
alternatives to your just stock standard birthday cake.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Okay, I'm gonna say nah, I'm cake girl, throw and throw.
You cannot beat a good slice of chocolate cake. I'm
just gonna say it. Why why change a good thing?
Speaker 3 (38:16):
Because I just feel like there's so many other options
out there now. And I when I saw my plate
of chocolate chip cookies, I was like, this is exactly
what I want.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
Exactly.
Speaker 6 (38:27):
Maddy and PJ, Meddy and PJ.
Speaker 7 (38:30):
The podcast that the People's Poll, the pe Poles Pole,
everybody comes together, It's the People's Poll.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Today's question is are you a fan of the modern
alternative birthday cakes? Think trays of cookies, donuts, nuggets your
favorite food in the form of.
Speaker 4 (38:50):
A cake or do you just like the og cake?
Speaker 1 (38:54):
You can text through four full eight seven or wait
in on our Instagram page the Hits Driver with medi and.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
PJ, someone said definitely a cake girl. You can't make
a Barbie cake out of nuggets?
Speaker 2 (39:03):
Which is I mean, you could try, you could try,
would say is good?
Speaker 4 (39:09):
Those are my favorite texts. I'm with you, PJ.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
It's always going to be cake. Cake just always has
a different vibe, so we know, ever it's.
Speaker 4 (39:15):
Always cake, cake, cake. I'm a big cake boy.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
What someone loves the cake.
Speaker 6 (39:24):
Love the cake.
Speaker 4 (39:25):
You can take the cake out of a Oh no,
that doesn't.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
Someone did say we do cupcakes instead, easy to share
around to the family. But I would say, if we
look at the text machine and we look at our
Instagram pole the og cake has sixty eight percent of
people say, yeah, you've got to do a normal, real
birthday cake.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
Long may it last. If you've got any ideas for
our people's poble, you can always take them through four

The Hits Drive with Median Paja thanks to Chimis were
House the Real House of Fragrances on that Hello everyone,
welcome to the podcast. You're going to not hear from
us for a while, so lucky you. Your ears are
going to take a nice deserved break like we are.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Yes, we've got a week off page.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
You're going across the ditch to somewhere I have wanted
to go to for a long time.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Yeah, that's been on our bucket last for a really
long time.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
But it's also one of those things I feel like
it's kind of like, you know, a lot of New
Zealanders don't really travel the country. They don't see yea,
our own backyard because you often when you go on holiday,
you go to go to crazy places over in Europe,
or you might go, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
The Instagram pretty one.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Yes, and so we don't do things closer to home.
And that's much the same with Australia. You know, you
might pop across the ditch and go to Melbourne or
Sydney or the Goldie or something like that. We are
going right to the center of Australia, right into the desert.
We're going to Ularu to ears wrong.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I feel like the sun rises there will be gorgeous.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
So we've got the sunsets.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
We've got both. We've got sunrise to a book.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
We've got a like Diggers station dinner set up underneath.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Oh you little chess, I can't wait. Here's a question
for you. So you know my coubra I wore.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I got one of those big, wide brimmed hats once
and it sits in my wardrobe and I very rarely
get the opportunity to wear it. I wore it just
the other week to the hall Wall. Do I take
it with me to Australia.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Because it needs to fear the feedback and New Zealand
hasn't been the best.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
No to mock the cobra.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
No, But I feel like that was more about the
what I was wearing it with. I don't know that
it really like. I don't know that I vibed it
with the suit I was wearing. But I think if
I was in Australia in the.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Shirt and some short yeah, some songs on.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
With like a bit of hay, like hanging out my
mouth or something, nah, I don't think. Okay, but you
know what, but you know what, I'm saying right, like
maybe the vibe would be different, Yes, but the issue
is like it won't go on my suitcase because it
will get squashed.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
So nuggaly to pack a hat like that, that's always
the issue. But he wants to take a head like that,
And I'm like, it's just one thing you're gonna have
to lug around. You're gonna have to take that on.
Is carry on, aren't you?
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Yeah? So do I take it with me? Is carry on?

But is that? But is that the thing? Am I
going to get enough? Like cosp who we are out
of it?
Speaker 2 (02:40):
If I do? If I bring it with me?
Speaker 4 (02:44):
I think if you take it, you just gotta wear it.
You just got to rock it.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
It'll be pretty cute, pretty cute in the photo.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
Every single photo. This is gonna become.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Oh maybe this will take over the running identity that's
completely overtaking me.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Maybe you'll just be Cobra.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Maybe maybe maybe you're becoming a Cobra ambassador.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Imagine that that would be fun. I'd love that.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Like, they need to get your bit?
Speaker 2 (03:09):

What do you do?
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Have the have the best time? I mean it, and
you so deserve that. And we've had such a fun
year this year. But I feel like we just we

can't come wait to come back with a bit more energy,
a bit.

More to get the end of the year, which is
honestly like so close, so close. Christmas is going to

in that like round thing and then you'd have crusted
on it?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yes, not my jam, your jam though.
Speaker 7 (04:07):
No.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
I just thought about it, and I thought, actually that
was quite young. I wouldn't have it all the time
now or anything, but I just remember those little cakes
that were coming that like around circular container. You'd hate
it up and then you have cast it over.
Speaker 4 (04:21):

a trim like your bush at home. You know how
that guy took off the top. He's not taking off
the whole thing just to a manicure.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
No, I don't think many guys would do that.

Yeah no, you just trim, You're just tidy and as Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:16):

Speaker 1 (06:02):
I don't know.

I think we started pretty well.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Yeah, that's true. That's true.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
No, I don't know insistently, I've definitely got a little loose.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
I like it coming up.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
In today's show, we talked about when you looked like
a deck at work event.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Yeah, I made a bit of a faux part one
last night. Plus we talked about when you accidentally bumped
into a salib.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And no funny money made a return. It wasn't our,
worst wasn't It wasn't our. It wasn't our, it was
it was middle of the somewhere in the middle of.
Speaker 4 (06:38):
And I had a birthday surprise from Eddie too.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
It was very cute.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
Enjoying the podcast.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
The podcast, Hey I've got a story. So I was
on the plane today. We've been traveling. We had a
fancy schmoozie client e vent and FUNA day last night.
And I got on the flight to Palmerstan North this
morning and as I was getting on and finding my seat,
(07:06):
I sort of came up to fifteen B and I
sat down and I saw the lady next to me,
and I said hello. And at that moment I tell
she did not want to talk to me. You know how,
like instantly it's quite important on the plane, like to
give off vibes if you're in for the long haul
chat or not.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
This is why, and I think I've said it before,
this is why I always start a flight with my
headphones in, because then I can make the callers to
whether I talk to the people or not.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Well she didn't look she wasn't being rude, but it
was just quite It was just quite quick, quite brief hello,
and then she looked the other way and looked out
the window.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
I was like, sweet, happy days.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
It's all good. I'm actually quite tired, so I'm going to.
Speaker 8 (07:42):
Have a nap.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
And it was sort of about oh, maybe thirty minutes
before landing, and we'd been given the snack in the
cup of coffee.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
What'd you go with I.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
She didn't get anything. I did the thing where I
pretended to be a slate. I pretended to be slap.
Speaker 6 (07:57):
I couldn't be follow this cookie.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Always get the cookie.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
No, they don't do the cocky meta.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
They do the bliss bar, the little blissful and the
flavored popcorn. Right anyway, the lady next to me the
flavored popcorn.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
And I was awake at this point now, but.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
She proceeded to bypass me and asked the guy across
the aisle, not even like right next to her. So
there was her, me, the ale, and this other guy
and she goes, excuse me, you couldn't help me open
this bag of popcorn?
Speaker 4 (08:33):
And I was like, am I chopped lover? Like right
here right beside you.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
One of two things that's happened to you, I reckon.
First of all, she knows exactly who you are. And
she's like, there's no way that PJ. Harding is opening
this packet of popcorn without some sort of awkward embarrassing
this hat like the popcorn's going over it all.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Down the aisle.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Yeah, she looked at your dainty little hands and just
thought there's no way she going to be able to
get this open for me.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
No, I tell you what it was, and I don't
blame her. Like one, look at this guy.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
He was like the rock. His muscles were bulging.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
He looked like he was about to go and do
some ultra marathon or something. This dude was going to
get this popcorn open in a second, and he did.
To be fair, he did. But I did feel kind
of ripped off that I didn't get the chance to.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
Help you like a popcorn.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
At least, lease let me try my hand in it
before you go to the guy next to me.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Little did she know that I came seventh and discuss
in the South siland fifteen. Thank you very much, Mady
ANDJ Mady n PJ the podcast.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
But before then, you and I, as you mentioned just before,
page had a little client event that we needed to
go to last night.
Speaker 4 (09:49):
A little schmoozie.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
The interesting thing is are we the best foot forward? Like,
are we really the faces that you want out there
representing the company?
Speaker 1 (10:02):
Look, I would say you're definitely the professional one of.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Us, which is saying something you're the.
Speaker 4 (10:07):
Good one of a bad bunch.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
But now it's it is so interesting because all of
a sudden we just have to shift into this client demo,
which is not something that comes natural to me.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
There was a lot of and what do you do great?
Speaker 1 (10:23):
And so how long have you been in that? And
so how's the sale of gumboat?
Speaker 2 (10:28):
A small talk class was on fire?
Speaker 1 (10:32):
And how how much do we gravitate to that grazing pleasure?
Speaker 2 (10:36):
So this is the thing.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
So we arrive at this event and the speeches have
already started, so we have to sneak in through the back,
but we were already made a scene because the person
couldn't figure out how to open the door to let
us in, so we'd already made a scene. We arrived
at this event and immediately the speeches were going on,
and PJ and I looked over to the side and
saw the grace tables.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
We had an agent for a good three hours, and
you know that if we haven't eaten for that long,
we're start getting angry and we start we just we're
not on our game.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Forget about it.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
So I had to try and sneak our way around
the back of the audience with the speeches going on,
so that we could then start eating the food at
the crazy.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
And just a disclaimer, we were not as subtle.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
As we thought we were.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Everyone turned their heads as we were like trying to
subtly put a bit of pizza, put a bit of
bruschetta in our mouth.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
Everyone was watching.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
But there was an even more awkward moment that happened
because there was a series of speeches that were going on,
and so each time there was a different speech that
there would be an introduction to the next speaker.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
This is so good.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
And at one point I heard someone at the lec
turn at the microphone say, our next speakers are amazing.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
They are no, no, no, no, no, outrageously telling, rageously talented.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Man, I think magnificent, was said as well, and I went, well,
this is our cue.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
So laterally, as the words came out her mouth saying outrageously,
Maddy did that thing where he sort of humbly looked
to the ground and then hessily and started walking for us.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I had for another few speakers, and because we were
at the very back of the room, I had to
tell people to move.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
I was like, sorry, sorry, thank you, this is me Sorry.
I was.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
I knew the order of the speakers, and I was like,
we're not on for another three guests. Shut up, put
the brakes on, and stand still. Maddy had already like
moved about two or three meters forward.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
So then I have to awkwardly do a shuffle back
to PJ and stand there and wait for our turn.
Speaker 4 (12:56):
I could not keep a straight face after that. It
was so funny.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
I absolutely mortified myself at a work event.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
You know what the beautiful figure is.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
A work event is a very common ground where a
lot of people make a fall of them subsolutely, whether
it's a Christmas dough, a function where you're supposed to
be schmoozing, impression, a board meeting. How did you make
an absolute toll of yourself at a workdough?
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Make made me feel better about himself.
Speaker 8 (13:28):
Because the confidence levels oh under to join the show
takes four four eight six the podcast.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
I just want to know when you made a toll
of yourself or a fall of yourself and front of
your work colleagues at a work dough.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
I did that last night.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Mady did so good.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
So there was someone up there introducing the next guest,
because there were a number of speakers last night at
the event, and they said, look, the next guest is
just outrageously talented which is very generous, very very generous.
Speaker 9 (14:11):
And at that point Matty just leaped forward anticipated this
was his moment, only to find it actually no, it
was still about three gears to go until it was
our time to talk.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
I'll wait one hundred the hits to join the show.
Marty is joining us today, Marty, Hey, how are you good?
Speaker 10 (14:29):
What?
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Heaven?
Speaker 6 (14:30):
Marty?
Speaker 11 (14:31):
Okay, So we were at a we were hosting a
client function and a friend of mine, so the whole
theme was Latin American and the food, the drink, everything
was seemed. And then my colleague had volunteered to get
up and do sorcer with a friend. And they're about
(14:55):
thirty seconds into it and we just hear this the
government split.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Like we're we're on the body, we're on the video.
We're talking about crucial place.
Speaker 11 (15:09):
Yeah, crucial, crucial hanging out. But they were reasonably well covered.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
God, and this is I think you can go back
to work after that? Is this in front of like
big bosses and everything, Marty?
Speaker 11 (15:23):
Oh yeah, like our whole office and then the entire
head honch shows the company that we were trying to work.
I'm really glad it was asked for a huge drinks.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
Hey, it makes an impression though, Marty, that's a story.
They'll be telling that story.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
Wow, Alisha is joining us, like hundred hats Hi, Alisha,
When did you make a fool of yourself at a workday?
Speaker 5 (15:50):
Well? Fortunately it wasn't me. Unfortunately it was my event.
So I used to put for a tech company and
in Australia, and I was in charge of all of
the sales and marketing stuff. So we had really flashed
it in Melbourne at one of the Master Chef Guys
restaurants and it was like really high brow, quite straight
(16:14):
up and down clients and everything was going really well.
We brought out one of our product guys from Taiwan
to do like a big presentations. We had all of
these screens and like this speaker system. It was really loud,
and he got up and open his laptop and some
adult entertainment that he had previously been perusing. I guess
(16:36):
for everybody, and all the Australians in the room just
roared with laughter, the funniest thing, and they wouldn't stop
talking about it. I was mortified because of the way
that the structure works. I was like a a non
Taiwanese woman. So I couldn't like bring it up ever
again because he was like above me. So it was
like an unmentionable Yeah, it was like the worst of.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
You here, of both stories.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
And you're like, nah, that doesn't.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Happen, but that only happens in the movies. On in
the movies, Oh my god, happened to Alicia?
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Poor thing many.
Speaker 6 (17:14):
And PJ the podcasts No Funny.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
No Money Alright, eg, get your best gags ready because
it's time for No Funny, No Money. One of our segments,
i'd say, is a real fifty fifty.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
But that is the that is almost the point of
the game. It's not meant We're not meant to get
a laugh. We're not meant to laugh at every single
joke that comes in.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
We can't have Seinfeld every week.
Speaker 12 (17:42):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
And we've got a hardballer as well, Peach.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
So you and I've got to have a poker face
because it is our job to try and hold on
to these fifty dollars.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
Chemst were house. We don't want to just be giving
them to anyone.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
All right, First out, we've got Damien joining us, Jack, Damien,
do you reckon? You're a bit of a Seinfeld.
Speaker 13 (17:58):
H yeah, hear it.
Speaker 10 (18:00):
But I'll tell you this is the longest leading to
a joke that I've even told.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
Oh god, okay, okay, okay, are you ready?
Speaker 14 (18:08):
Well I'm ready? Yeah, so had he tracked down.

didn't get a laugh out of us. I'm sorry, thank you, Damian.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
A great weekend, right mate.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
The thing that didn't make me google was his has
said little.

Are we giving you the voucher?
Speaker 6 (19:40):

Speaker 1 (19:43):

just like the lack of belief in yourself fifty reluctantly
coming away to spind at Chimi's warehouse.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Oh, thank you, well done, Cam, you'll do.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
I know the that, but I felt bare form. I'm sorry.

getting it together there for Shane. All Right, guys, I'm

Speaker 14 (20:11):

So I've been doing some research and I've been looking
for the cheapest meat out there, and you guess what
I found. It was the cheapest meat you can buy.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
The cheapest meat you can buy.
Speaker 14 (20:23):
What is it, Shane, Venison testicles? They're coming under a
buck like that, and I get it.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
It's the hardest part, Shane. That's the hardest part is
making PJ understand the joke. And you got it, well done, Bucks,
just mend it.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Give us your house coming your way, shaved.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Mary and PJ. Mary and PJ The Podcast.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Well, we're joined by Mitt James this afternoon, who smells
like a barber's.
Speaker 12 (21:01):
Going on there.
Speaker 2 (21:01):
Why did you have to reveal that publicly.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
Conversation?
Speaker 2 (21:07):
I was running a bit late. I thought.
Speaker 12 (21:11):
I did my back at the gym, so I was like,
you know, I think I might treat myself to a
little steak here. I was feeling sorry for myself and
then PJ just went and revealed it to New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
For that, it makes you, It makes you relatable.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
Late because of a steak.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
A hundred percent.
Speaker 12 (21:29):
This is just everyday people talk, you know, and it's
actually revealed my my next endeavor as a ambassador for
a beef fragrance.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
So O to Beef is what I'm calling it.
Speaker 3 (21:42):
We're Carter and earlier in the week about here's some
fragrance and now we've got you in.
Speaker 12 (21:46):
Yeah, I'm sorry, Dan, I'm coming. I'm coming for your money,
mate to beef.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Now match, it's actually a bit of sweet reason that
you're on today. You've obviously got a new single, Beautiful
Stranger at Us, but you're actually stepping away from music
for a while.
Speaker 12 (22:02):
I am, yeah, I mean and definitely I wouldn't call
it a full stop, but maybe a semi colon.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
If you will.
Speaker 12 (22:08):
Yeah, but yeah, look, it's a very, very crazy, at
times evil industry, and I think the love had just
came out of it for me, and I don't want
to be doing anything I'm not fully, total, fully passionate about.
And not to say that I haven't loved playing shows
like that's been the one thing that I just wouldn't
(22:29):
change to the world, you know, interacting with the people
and sharing those moments has been the blessing of a lifetime, honestly,
But everything else around it has been really challenging, and
it's been challenging for me as an artist with my
relationship with my fans because a lot of these times
I haven't been able to say what's going on. In
some ways, I still kind of can't, but I'm sure
(22:51):
I'll get to reveal all one day. But it's yeah,
it's very bittersweet's it sucks, really, but I've got this
amazing music, what I believe is my best music to
sort of hang my hat on coming out well today
and in a few weeks time with the album. So
it's it is bitter, but it's also sweet.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
And can I just say that will really resonate with
so so many people, the idea that you should never
be doing something that doesn't make you one hundred percent happy.
Speaker 12 (23:20):
Yeah, and I feel like, you know, a lot of
people think that this is all rainbows and fairy breed.
You know, it's it's really not. It's you know, people
hear yourself on the radio and think you're rich, and
I wish that that was the case, but it's, you know,
it's again, it's sort of one of those things that's
just a bit of a misconception. And you know, I'm
glad to and proud to be a person that can
(23:42):
step away from something that people may be perceiving to
go extremely well. But you know, I'm working on something
that I've wanted to be longer than a musician, and
and that sort of sets my heart on fire at
the moment. And yeah, I mean, I just didn't want
to flog a dead horse and continue to do this
if I didn't love doing it. So yeah, it's it's
(24:03):
it's a hard decision, but a good one, I feel.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Ten times later, I want to know what are you
currently pursuing that you that sets your heart on fire?
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Is this something you haven't told us.

Yeah, So, I mean, I won't reveal everything today, but
it's it's something in it's something in the media space,
and it's something that that people will not be expecting
from me at all, and I'll be having to build
a completely new audience because I'm pretty sure a lot of.
Speaker 4 (24:28):
My fans won't be interested.
Speaker 12 (24:32):
But it's yeah, it's something that I've loved for for
a very long time and I'm very passionate about and yeah,

the studio a little bit earlier.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
We've got all Black legend Dan Carter coming in. So
we're very lucky.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
But sometimes even we get surprised by celebrities and they
they take us, they catch us off guard. We're not
expecting them, we're not ready for them, and that is
exactly what happened this morning to John O. Benn and
Meghan our breakfast show in the morning when they were
interviewing the Wiggles. Now that was a pre planned interview.
(29:32):
They knew the Wiggles were coming in, and the Wiggles
were in studio. They just sat down, they turned the
mics on and they just started speaking to the Wiggles,
and then all of a sudden they noticed a very
famous face.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Peering through the window of the studio. You hear the
Wiggles and great to have David Williams.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
Look, we've got David Williams.
Speaker 2 (29:50):

never thought we'd have.

Speaker 4 (30:20):
But the Wiggles were like pretty starstruck.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
I rec David Williams is a huge star and he
was in the building for another interview and he just
brought himself in. He led himself into the studio said
hello to the Wiggles and they were very excited to
see him.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
You have interviewed a lot of people in your time, Madie.
Have you ever been caught off guarsh with a sillyb yourself?
Speaker 14 (30:40):
I have.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
Actually, I was in New York with some friends and
on holiday, and we were on a street and we
stopped to get a photo taken because it was a
very cool mural on a wall. And as we were
posing for the photo, we noticed a woman had kind
of was walking towards us on the path and she'd
stopped because obviously she didn't want to walk through the photo.
(31:03):
And we went on, no, no, no, no, that's fine,
that's fine, come on through it, come on through. And
so then she said thank you so much, have a
good day, and walked through. And then as she walked through,
I went, oh, my god, that's Kirsten Dunced.
Speaker 4 (31:17):
Kristen Dunced. Yeah, you talked to her, but like, not
even in a work environment.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
No, she was just on the street in New York
and shit, and she stopped so that we could pose
for our photo in front of this bloody mural.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
When you realized it was her. Did you go on
run after it?
Speaker 3 (31:31):
I was tempted too, but she had already kind of
gone by that point, and I thought I'm going to
let her be. Yeah, but I was like, I couldn't
believe it because it was just so not the environment
I thought I would ever see.
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Kirstin Dunston.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
I was in the line for some Vietnamese down the road.
There's this great Vietnamese joint and I looked around and
Lord was right behind me.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
And this was like at the peak of lost fame,
And well, do you think I played it cold?
Speaker 2 (31:56):
No, of course not.
Speaker 6 (31:57):
What did you do?
Speaker 1 (31:59):
I think I'd like, I don't know, but I remember
once I'd ordered my delicious soap, I decided I couldn't
leave the establishment without telling her how great she is.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
Said, Hey, man, I just got to say I love
your will I just keep doing, keep doing what you're doing,
Doing what you're doing.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
She was like, who is this random person? Thanks of
the pep talk, whoever you are. You know those moments
you're like.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
I'll regret it if I don't let me tell you.
Speaker 1 (32:26):
I regretted the fact.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
That I did say something in that situation. Hey, but
the good news is Lord's keep doing what she's doing.
So maybe she took it to.

Speaker 4 (36:42):
Voice break when I see it each year, and.
Speaker 2 (36:44):

Today's is inspired by birthdays because it is my birthday
on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
And Susy doesn't like a bit.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
I don't, I don't, I don't love a fast. But today,
just before the show, producers here came into the studio
and said, come with me, Come with me, and I
walk out and blasting spice girls in the in the
office and they have a plate full of chocolate chip cookies,
which is my favorite.
Speaker 5 (37:31):
I know.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
I actually tipped the boss off, did you? I go,
what is Maddy's favorite treat? And I got he loves
his chop chop cookies. But I don't know, like he
probably loves a lot more than that. No, No, that
is that.
Speaker 3 (37:41):
That sums me up perfectly. And so then it got
us thinking, is this the new norm? You know, we
don't do birthday cakes anymore?
Speaker 2 (37:49):
We do others.
Speaker 3 (37:50):
You know, you do donuts, or you do chocolate chip cookies,
or you might do anice chicken nuggets.
Speaker 4 (37:55):
I've seen chicken nuggets.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
Sausage roll cake or something like that. You know, the
alternatives to your just stock standard birthday cake.
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Okay, I'm gonna say nah, I'm cake girl, throw and throw.
You cannot beat a good slice of chocolate cake. I'm
just gonna say it. Why why change a good thing?
Speaker 3 (38:16):
Because I just feel like there's so many other options
out there now. And I when I saw my plate
of chocolate chip cookies, I was like, this is exactly
what I want.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
Exactly.

look at the text machine and we look at our
Instagram pole the og cake has sixty eight percent of
people say, yeah, you've got to do a normal, real
birthday cake.
