Speaker 1 (00:00):
The hit Strive with Media and Paja thanks to Chemist
were House the Real House of Fragrances and then Hi
and welcome to the podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
Hello, Hello to talk. I've got something really quickly. Do
you remember I went to this gen Z house party
last week in Sydney and I said, I return people
for the podcast and we gave them a shout out. Well,
I got a message to say, ha ha shout out.
Can confirm on the podcast follow through and it's great

(00:33):
to be here.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
I thank god because I thought it was just one
of those really embarrassing moments and they felt sorry for
you and they're like, no, no, no, will follow you. Yeah
yeah yeah, but they actually did.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Was it?

Speaker 1 (00:43):
I've given another show?

Speaker 2 (00:44):
Ree Ray, real girl, she's great.

Speaker 1 (00:49):
My girl.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
She turned up. She turned up to the house party
and she was looking for actually, I think she was
looking for my sister who It was my sister's flat
and and I introduced myself and I took her by
her hand and I led her right through the house
and I took her up the stairs trying to find her.
We couldn't find her anywhere. My sister Actually, Oh my god,

(01:10):
why should I talk about this?

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Yeah, it's always you know, it's the years when you're like, oh,
should talk about.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
It later on in the night. We did. Then, not
at this particular point in time, but later on in
the night we went to try and find my sister again.
There were just so many people at this house party.
I cannot stress how many people were there.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
This is actually making me want to go to a
house party again.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
Calm, should we I'll throw one. It won't be as
raucous as that one. But I feel like, yeah, we're young, Yeah,
that's what we need to find. We need to find
a fun young gen z. Yeah, like the time we
turned up to that house party in Dunedin that we
got invited to.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
And they decided to leave the property and we're not
there anymore anyway.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
So later on in the night we were trying to
find my sister and we were like looking for looking
for a hot guy, can find her inside? So we
went up the stairs and opened the door to her bedroom.
She wasn't she wasn't passion, but she was sitting on
the beard with a boy.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Was she?

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (02:24):
Did you know the boy?

Speaker 2 (02:25):
I've never seen him before in my life. They were
just talking. They were very innocent, they were talking, but
I actually don't know.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
What happens to you talking on a beard at a party, right.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
But that did just remind me that I haven't followed
up with her to see, Like I mean, I don't
want to know that nitty gritty but no, no.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
Do you have like a relationship like that with your siblings?

Speaker 2 (02:47):
No?

Speaker 1 (02:47):
No, you definitely.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Not brothers, don't you brothers don't ask you for the.

Speaker 1 (02:54):
No, It's so funny Like growing up, I reckon guys
would have been so scared to date me because both
of my brothers were like, you know, yeah, quite good
rugby players and quite intimidating but lovely like they are.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Not they are lovely, but kind of would they still
be considered like when BJ meet them, were they considered
intimidating because they're older?

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Yeah, they're older. He just like Bja's a big rugby
fan and so yeah, I think.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
I found common ground.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Differently, I feel like guys wouldn't want to pass my brothers.
You wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of
my brothers, which I feel kind of cool having my
posse either side of me, do you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah. The thing about it is, though BJ BJ kind
of fits the mold of who your brothers are totally.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
But it was such a relief when they got along.

Speaker 2 (03:42):
But your ex boyfriends famously not like your brothers at all.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
No, no skinnys, skinny little nerds. They got along with
the funny. When BJ came along, it felt like, and
don't take this the wrong way. He was a long
lost brother. You take it the wrong way.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
Hey, hey, don't yt someone's young. Don't yuck someone young, don't.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
There was just this feeling of shut up j There
was a feeling of familiarity.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Like he was like he was a brother.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
No, just but in like a jig saw piece.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
That's that's because famously, remember you guys might be related.

Speaker 1 (04:32):
I forgot about that. No, we never took the taste.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
Well maybe you should take it if the shoe fettes page. Honestly, No,
I'm not.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
I don't want to know. No, I mean back in
the day, it all was related to everyone. I mean,
how many people were there, what was the dating pool?
Pretty much your cousin. You know.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
You're trying to make excuses.

Speaker 1 (04:56):
Are you trying to No, I'm trying to rep this
conversation as I can.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
I want you to keep digging the whole.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Now have I hear people tell me that Tom and
BJ look kind here a kind of like shut up?
I was joking, Oh the same, all right. Coming up
with the podcast today, we talk about un orthodox feel wells,
cold with looks at the moment. That's a weirdo. What's

(05:26):
he been doing in public and his driveway?

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, that was that was quite good. Actually, plus we
did are you are? And we wanted to hear from
builders today or fake builders. It was a good game today,
actually a very good game.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Yes, all of that and more coming up on the podcast. Enjoy.
And it's not weird. It's totally different.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Many in the podcast you're a weirdo.

Speaker 1 (05:56):
Thank you. I will take that as a compliment.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
So you might be to relate to this this moment
that I had today. I went and took out dog
Otis for a big walk this morning, and you know,
me and my Apple Watch, I'm addicted, like I've got it.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
It gets a little bit silly, like I don't think
you're actually doing it for your health, You're just doing
it to compete with everyone around you.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Oh yeah, I just want to be better than everyone. No, no, no, no, no,
that's not true. I want to be better than myself.
It's very much an insular competition with myself. I want
to close all three of my rings at the end
of the day, and I want to keep the street going.
It's just become a little insular competition.

Speaker 1 (06:38):
I think if I ever had one of those watches,
I get very addictive.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
It is addictive, and sometimes I'm like, man, what sad
life do I leave? This has become such a major
part of my personality.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Critical part of your day.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Yeah, So I put the walk feature on and I
went out for a walk with Otis, and then I
got home and and obviously it clocks your the distance
that you've gone and the time that you've done the
workout for as well. And I realized that I was
about to tick over five and a half k's and

(07:14):
I was about to tick over forty minutes. And then
I just stood in my driveway just walk like pacing
on the spot, so that I could time my watch
so that it stopped at exactly forty minutes and exactly
five point five k's. I wanted the exact numbers to

(07:35):
align with each other.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
And do you have to do this every time you
go over a.

Speaker 2 (07:41):
Walk, yes, and I The thing about it is it's
become so normalized for me that it wasn't until I
stopped and thought about it that I realized how weird
it was that I'm literally just pacing in my driveway
because I want my watch to be perfect. I wanted
to stop on exactly huge number.

Speaker 1 (08:01):
No, it's a quirky, beautiful habit that is unique to you,
Matthew McLean, and I am sure that there are many
things out there that people do that is a little
bit strange. In fact, I think we should celebrate people's
quirky habits this afternoon. Aniosyncrasies you might like to call it.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
Yes, yes, I'm not even going to open up my
pan of worms, like touching the doorhandle or certain amount
of times when I leave the house.

Speaker 1 (08:33):
Until it feels right, or when I was younger, I
used to this is weird. I don't do this anymore.
I stopped at primary, but when I'd see someone that
I didn't like, I had to spit into my collar
because I was worried that if I breathed and around them,

(08:56):
I would turn into them.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
So you just get to the end of the day,
was like sit.

Speaker 1 (09:01):
Home with a sopping hit collar. So my grandmother, who
looked after me a lot when I was growing up,
she gave me that stop it stuff. Do you remember
the stuff you put on your nails to stop fighting them.
I had that. I'm not even cada all around. It
stopped me. It works. That's one of the stranger ones
I've done. And I still I'm still guilty of going

(09:23):
through the lights out of its red Eye, double tap
of its orange Igo once.

Speaker 2 (09:27):
Uh huh.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
I'm sure there are many other fellow weirdos out there.
Oh wait, one hundred the hits. Let's celebrate your weird
and quirky habits and stuff the water.

Speaker 3 (09:40):
Maddy MPJ, Mady MPG the podcasts.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
We are talking your weird kind of quirky idiosyncrasies. I
found myself pacing in my driveway today because I wanted
my Apple Watch to stop at exactly around like a
round number, so I wanted it to get to five
point five. So I was just kind of pacing in
the driveway. It was so weird.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
I find that behavior quite normal. And do you know what,
there's so many people that have texted and talking about
numbers when it comes to like volume and using a remote.
There's always like people. Even someone said, when I fill
up with petrol, I have to get the total cost
or rounded out figure, for example one hundred and twenty
dot zero zero dollars.

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Yeah, Jordan says, if there's a volume that shows numbers,
I need it to show an even number divisible by eve.

Speaker 1 (10:25):
I get it.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
I get it.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
I go through phases of odds. I go through phases
of evens. Carol is joining us, Oh, eight hundred the hits. Hello, Carol,
what's your kirky little habit?

Speaker 4 (10:34):
My quirky little habit is was my dishcloth? It has
to be squeezed out properly, folded neatly, and put in
a certain spot. It can't be to the left or
to the right, mate being under the tep.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
So does everyrun in your household understand this quick, Carol?
Or do you are you constantly having to move the cloth?

Speaker 5 (10:55):
Well?

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Luckily on the one on the head, All right, are.

Speaker 1 (10:59):
You good to go?

Speaker 2 (11:00):
Then you get to go.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
So you're the only one to blame, Carol if it's moved,
or at least go to Jane's. Hi, Jane, what was
your quirky little hambit?

Speaker 6 (11:11):
Hi?

Speaker 7 (11:12):
Well, one of them is like, Maddie, I have to
when I do the patrol, I have to. It has
to be the exec number. So it's actually started with
forty dollars you know, discount, but then it's just I
couldn't stop. And yeah, if it goes to fifty eight,

(11:33):
it needs to be sixty.

Speaker 1 (11:35):
I get it.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
I think that's very normal. Jane, gett into a round number.
Is there's something very satisfying about it.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
Do you know this is quite a morbid turn. But
sometimes I'll be like looking at the pictrol amount and
then I'll be like, I'll be worried that that's the
age that one of my family members will do. I
don't have to keep going up. And I'm like, no, no,
no ninety nine, Okay, we're happy with that.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
No No nine.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
I can still Oh my god, just mate, I am
a fulas Hey, Jane, you've also got something with the laundry.

Speaker 8 (12:04):
That you do. Yes, So I've got free kids, and
it has to the pigs need to match.

Speaker 7 (12:13):
So one child one.

Speaker 8 (12:15):
Color, another child there is another color.

Speaker 1 (12:17):
And it's actually just smart.

Speaker 8 (12:20):
Yeah, And so you know, sometimes my kids do the
laundry and the pigs go all over the place. And
try not to look, and it's just, you know something
when they.

Speaker 2 (12:33):
Do is but the little nervous twitch goes and you
start to think I might just go and change all
the pigs.

Speaker 6 (12:40):
Over the podcast, the Peoples Tall, everybody comes together.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
It's the people we do.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
The People's follow the show every day and we always
check it up on our Instagram page. The hats drive
on our story so you can wait. In the end,
we can get a real good snapshot of what the
people are saying.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
I ran into a Collie today and I said, what
are you doing? And they said they were walking out
on the street and they said, I'm off to go
and do jury judy.

Speaker 1 (13:15):
And were they allowed to tell you that or is
it meant to be super sacred squirrels?

Speaker 2 (13:21):
You're allowed to say I'm doing jury judy. There's very
strict rules around what you can say. Once you're on
the jury. You wouldn't be able to discuss the case,
but you're allowed to say you're.

Speaker 1 (13:30):
Doing I suppose you need to explain when you can't
be I'm like, no, I can't say to think I'm
just really secret.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
Important mission that doesn't really fly.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
Can you imagine us on jury Judy like you and
I our poker faces terrible.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
I know, but also imagine me, I love gossip. I'd
just be sitting there.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
Being like.

Speaker 2 (13:54):
And then what happened.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
Actually got the call up you a few years back. Yeah,
and I couldn't do it well because I mean, obviously
you're not really meant to be in the media and
and go and do this right. I'm pretty sure there's
a conflict of interest there. So I managed to get
out of it. But you know, it is one of
those things that would be really fascinating to know.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
People say this though, and I've met so many people
that go, I would love to be on the jury.
But as a journalist who set through many a court case,
often they're very tedious, very long, very dull. They're not.
You're not getting a legally blonde court scene every day,
do you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (14:34):
Yeah? And actually, if you're in the heavy ones in
on the other end of the speicture, it's probably pretty
emotionally exhausting as well training being in and out, like
hearing all of that, like all of the witnesses statements.

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Yeah, but I do get I get the fascination, So
I understand why by why for some people it would
be a fascinating exciting thing to be part of.

Speaker 1 (14:55):
But am I saying now that these really struggling to
get numbers for people doing jury judy?

Speaker 2 (15:01):
Yeah, but it's a legal requirement. If you've been called,
I think you've got to do it.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
I feel like I've read somewhere. I'm pretty sure there
was a headline about how numbers are dwindling. I'm sure
I heard that. So our question is today, would you
want to be on a jury? Have you actually like
We'd love to know your experience as well as much
as you can tell us chicks through four four eight seven?

(15:25):
Would you want to do jury duty? Yes?

Speaker 7 (15:27):
Or not?

Speaker 3 (15:27):
Medi and PJ the podcast.

Speaker 6 (15:32):
That the Deep Poles Poll, the Big Pulse Poll.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
Everybody comes together, it's the Big Pool's Poll.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
You can wait and on our people's roll right now
on a insacrampage the Hats Drive with Medi and PJ.
The question as jury judy, would you want to do
it or not?

Speaker 6 (15:46):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Is the question simple yes or no?

Speaker 2 (15:48):
Definitely two schools have thought. Those that go yeah, you know,
I love would find it so fascinating to be on
a jury jury, and then the others that go be
so boring and time consuming. And I will say the
people that have text in who have done jury duty
have all said it's not what you think. It's not
as exciting. Someone said, I did jury duty. It was

(16:10):
very boring. The system is teds. Your names get pulled
from a hat, then you go to court, then the
lawyers can turn you down as a jury. Then it
starts again the.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Next Yeah, that's right. Because you're not necessarily on the jury, right,
they have to kind of then eliminate once you get there.
I was watching that show with Sam Neil on tvn
Z plus. Have you seen that?

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Are the twelve Yes?

Speaker 1 (16:31):
One episode? It was all about the process and I
forgot that. Yeah, they actually they do eliminate you once
you get there, depending on your circumstances and whatnot.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
Yeah. Someone said, I thought jury service would be an
interesting experience until I got on a jury and now
I avoid jury service like the play.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
Oh no, we don't want to pop people off because
I feel like, you know there's something that we.

Speaker 2 (16:53):
Should You've got it. It's actually your civic duty, so
you kind of have to do it whether you want
to or not. But it's very split in terms of
the decision. Fifty four percent of people said no, I
do not want to be part of a jury at all,
and then forty six percent said yah, I'd love to
do it.

Speaker 1 (17:12):
Well, there you go. Very interesting. People's poll will be
back tomorrow. If you've got any suggestions on what topics
we should tackle, you can text them through to four
four eight.

Speaker 3 (17:21):
Seven Many and PJ the podcast.

Speaker 9 (17:26):
Are You?

Speaker 1 (17:30):
We realize we've neglected the tradees of New Zealand in
this game thus far, So today we are playing are
you at our stereotyping occupation game and we want to
hear from you if you are a builder or not.
So how the game works is you give us a
call oh eight hundred the hats convince us you are
a builder, and then Maddy and I have to work
out if you're telling the truth or not. How are

(17:51):
you feeling McLean? How's your lie radar today?

Speaker 2 (17:55):
I'm feeling solid, But I feel like every time I've
said that has been the times that I've ebbedbsolutely bombed.
So who knows?

Speaker 1 (18:04):
We have got a Rob joining us. Good? I Rob,
you're a builder?

Speaker 2 (18:07):
Mate?

Speaker 7 (18:08):
I am you?

Speaker 2 (18:12):
Did they just do a little This is the thing
though we've had this before.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
I know they really role playing.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
You might be throwing us off, Rob, but also maybe
you are on the building site. Who knows, can you
was that?

Speaker 1 (18:27):
Was that your mate or was it one of your workers?

Speaker 7 (18:29):
That's what workers?

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Okay, okay, so you can't get them to just hammer
it up again?

Speaker 10 (18:35):
Oh maybe let's see.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
Wow. Okay, well let's go to our boost question. Rob.
How many smoke ohs do you get in the day?

Speaker 11 (18:48):
Oh, we're meant to have too, but we often bump
it up.

Speaker 7 (18:51):
To five or six.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
I reckon, Get here's a definitely builder throw and through.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
Aren't you yes?

Speaker 2 (19:02):
Are you actually on the building site at the moment?

Speaker 6 (19:05):
Rob?

Speaker 2 (19:07):
Oh you are?

Speaker 1 (19:07):
Okay? All right, give it to work.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
Rob.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
You wouldn't put it past our callers that we've had
to just fully fabricate the situation in the background, or
at least go to cress on eight hundred of the hats?
Did I?

Speaker 3 (19:21):
Chris?

Speaker 1 (19:21):
You're a builder as well.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
You guys.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Builder to know that makes it sound like you're definitely
not a builder, crest I am, I promise. I think
you protested too much the mate. Okay, what shoes do
you wear on the job, Bro? Chris Hardkip, wouldn't you though, Yeah?

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Even I don't that okay, Chris, I'm gonna ask you
another one. What's your nickname on the site?

M well, Mohaker, it's okay, O Harker.

Speaker 7 (20:05):
What is that?

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (20:07):
Want wait waiting? Is there a dangerous question to ask?

Speaker 3 (20:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (20:10):
I don't. I don't know if we ask anymore. I
was just thinking it'd be like Chris or something that.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
Okay, my vibe is saying no. If I'm being honest,
I think I am.

Speaker 3 (20:18):
I'm with you.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
I'm a bit skeptical, Chris. I don't think you're a builder,
are you.

Speaker 11 (20:23):
I'm definitely a builder.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
Damn it. You just was there? You were you trying
to throw us off, because it really made it sound
like you were just you were lying at the start.

Speaker 11 (20:35):
I wasn't lying, No one, obviously not.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
No.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Well, cheerio, Chris. You have a good one, mate. Okay,
fifty out of fifty, it's okay, fifty fifty so far.

Speaker 2 (20:45):

been riddled, we've been ready. No, no, no, no, We're
back in the game. We're back in the game. Sean.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
Sean, I reckon, you're a builder?

Speaker 3 (21:43):
Are you.

Speaker 6 (21:45):
Okay?

Speaker 2 (21:47):
So we got too out of throws a baby.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and PJ the podcast The Heads.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
I'm not meant to talk about it, but it was
my husband's birthday yesterday.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
Someone that wasn't meant to mention this at all. You've
gone and mentioned it. I think about five to seven times.
Forty eight. Oh, it's definitely got that many mentions.

Speaker 2 (22:16):
I don't because he might be listening in the car.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Every birthday, big yesterday.

Speaker 2 (22:24):
Anyway, it doesn't like a big fuss. So I but
did you see? I restrained and I didn't post anything
on social media.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
But the more you talk about what you didn't do
on his birthday, the more attention you're drawing to the
fast turned a year old. Yes, he's last thing his name. Oh,
you're in the dogs, you're in trouble.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
But anyway, yesterday because I'm about to throw him under
the bus even more because yesterday I got home and
there were two letters on the two letters in the
letter box addressed to him. Oh, and I thought, well,
that makes sense. It's his birthday. Someone's obviously sent him
a lovely little cart.

Speaker 8 (23:04):
No.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
No, he had two parking tickets that have been delivered
on his birthday, which I thought, first of all rude,
because they are that does say his no, as you.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
Know it's his birthday, at least like give it a
few diments.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
Grace period or something, right, But then I also turned
to well, he's also got two parking fines in a
matter of weeks. But I beat you that there are
people out there who have had significantly more, because I
know for a fact that producers Sarah, I'm going to
throw her under the buses. I'm throwing you all under
the bus. No one's safe today.

Speaker 1 (23:37):
Why to take the spotlight off you because your birthday
when you're not supposed to.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
But how many parking tickets have you had in a
short space of time.

Speaker 5 (23:46):
I normally come home to about one or two of
the mailbox every day every day, but three day they're
not due for a month after I get them, so.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
Immediately, No, pay them immediately. I remember back in the
day they used to cost like twelve dollars in the city.
Are they more nowadays? What's the going I.

Speaker 5 (24:04):
Don't want to talk about it too much because I
don't want the parking ones to put the price up.
But they they started twelve dollars, but they do go
up depending on how long you're parking for out of
the time, which I.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
Would never do. Sarah, pay your fines now.

Speaker 5 (24:21):
No, I paid pay day.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
It's perfect well, I got them, I got them out
of the way today. I paid them. I paid them
for him for him on his behin, which did mean
I did open one of the letters even though it's address.

Speaker 1 (24:34):
To him, because I get an offense.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
It's like what you were saying just the other day.

Speaker 10 (24:40):
Me.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
Yeah, really still some of those I'm pretty sure that's a.

Speaker 2 (24:46):
Legal Yeah, we'll find meaning, God, we're all, we are
really all being thrown under the bus today.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
Shall we throw it out there though? How many parking
fines have you had at once?

Speaker 9 (24:59):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (24:59):
Six through now anonymously to four flights given, be honest,
So see who's had the most? In New Zealand Many
and the podcast earlier this hour, Mady throw his lovely
husband Ryan under the bus, announcing that he actually received
two parking tickets on his birthday in.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
The mail yesterday. I saw these letters and I thought, oh,
that's lovely someone sent him mail for his birthday. No, no,
they were two parking tickets.

Speaker 1 (25:25):
As we said, rude because like it does say your birthday,
and surely you can at least push it out a week.
I agree with a bit of grace periods, but.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
I was curious to know, because I know, like tours,
seems like a lot, but also might be low level
in the grand scheme of things. How many parking tickets
have other people had at once?

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Quite a few coming through Someone said I have had
thirty parking fins. Peans over a lifetime. That's not much.
I remember I went to a phase when I was
in my early twenties and I was parking in the
city a lot. But I would be like producers Sarah,
I wouldn't be surprised. My window, my window, and there
was something under the the window wipe. The worst thing is, though,

(26:04):
when you don't realize and it's raining, and then you
go off and you put the window wipers on, and
then you see it fly away none the wise. Sorry
about the nature.

Speaker 2 (26:14):
I do know a country bumpkin that came to the
city and then got a bunch of parking bunch of
tickets because they didn't realize. They didn't know about bus
lanes driving through the same bus lane.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
Another Pacific. Since I got toe in twenty four hours
total of five hundred in the same straight my hobby
was going to frame it and put it on the
wall until I pointed out the car was actually in
his name. I don't get yet, Mary J.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
Mady and PJ the podcast heads.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
I don't want to sound too morbid, but look, we're
all adults here. Have you ever thought much about how
you'd like to go out of this world? Medi like
with a song with a party.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
You mean funeral wise? Yeah, yeah, celebration. You don't want
two more birds?

Speaker 1 (27:05):
That's what we did with my dad. We never ever
used the if words which said celebration, and we were
at the golf club and it honestly did feel like
a celebration of his life.

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Yeah, a few tears, A few tears would be nice.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
You want to squeeze out the water works? Yeah, I
just came across the list of the top ten songs
that people choose to listen to while they're actually passing away. Now,
I know this is quite depressing. I'm gonna go through
a few of them. They're actually not too surprising. My
Way by Frank Sinach came in at number one. I
Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston. It's quite like

(27:40):
that's quite clematic, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
It's dramatic. It's very dramatic.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
But as a drama queen, I'm.

Speaker 8 (27:49):
Not a.

Speaker 1 (27:53):
Simply the best by Tina Turner. Yeah, it's you know, Oh,
your life's been good? Over the Rainbow. Yeah, it's not
too It's been more the Rainbow by Judy Garland was
and their Girls Just Want to Have Fun by Cyndy
Laufer Angels by Bobbie Williams. I just don't know if

(28:16):
I'd wants something really dramatic. No, right at the end,
I think I've want some of my zen lounge music,
like a bit of spa music, a bit of rain drops.

Speaker 2 (28:26):
You know, think about angels? Is it just what it
reminds me of is like wedding d floors when everyone's liked,
got a few buttons loose on their tops and they're
just holding up their hands and they're swaying and they're singing.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Girls just want to have fun. That's exactly what the
screens to me is.

Speaker 2 (28:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:43):
Also, Hey Joe by the Beatles Beautiful by Christine Achilera.

Speaker 2 (28:46):
I can imagine you one I would have. I would
have that because the thing about my funeral is I
would want it to be a celebration, but I would always.

Speaker 1 (28:56):
Want everyone else to be a bit.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
I would want a little a little sprinkle of the
like theatrics and the dramatics.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Yeah, I wait, one hundred of the hits. Let's turn
this around a bit and pack it up. I want
to hear from people who have been to unorthodox end
of life celebrations like the funeral was a little bit different,
and they went out with a bit of a twist.

Speaker 2 (29:24):
I have I ever told you about Ryan's mum?

Speaker 1 (29:29):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
So Ryn's mom passed away and they had her funeral,
and then they took her ashes and they put them
into fireworks and fireworks. She literally went out with a band.

Speaker 1 (29:43):
I love that. That's the kind of creativity that I
want to hear from this afternoon. I want hundred the hits.
Let's hear about the unorthodox fearwells that you've witnessed.

Speaker 3 (29:56):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and PJ a podcasts and Matt.

So everyone arrived and the SpongeBob thing was just player.

Speaker 11 (31:08):
Yeah yeah, So you know, everybody sits down at the
start and then the celebrant comes up and that was
the song that went on and it was pretty normal,
but it was it was really really cool.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
It would set the tone, wouldn't it, because it because
every because everyone permission to celebrate. Because you know, when
you say celebration of life, people still feel that song
of tone. As soon as they hear SpongeBob SquarePants they
go up a little bit.

Speaker 11 (31:35):

So cool.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
She's wrapping up with Joe right, hundred the hats, what

Speaker 10 (32:33):
Yeah, And for my one of my good night's funerals,
we carried him into the Game of Thrones theme song
it gets Better, and he was really into all his
TV shows and stuff, so there was on top of
his coffin was like the exits and the squads and
gate from Lord of the Rings from my ex or

(32:54):
whatever it is, and then we carried him out or
the funeral finished, or the survivor and the tripe has spoken,
did it like?

Speaker 1 (33:06):
What was the response? Was it quite emotional? People laughing?

Speaker 4 (33:11):
It was very hand.

Speaker 10 (33:13):
It was still quite emotional, but it was kind of funny.

Speaker 2 (33:15):
Yah last laugh.

Speaker 10 (33:18):
Yeah, and there was a slideshow and his man had
pretty much that no sotos were off limits. Brilliant entertaining
and he was absolutely terrified of chickens.

Speaker 7 (33:31):
And the last.

Speaker 10 (33:34):
Video about slideshow that played was actually him and I
at Auckland Zoo and the chickens were chasing him around.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
You've got you do.

Speaker 1 (33:46):
You've got to laugh because I suppose like you want people,
you know, to be upset and cry, but you do
also want to just celebrate and laugh. And spokes Theme
gave him do it. Thank you so much?

Speaker 7 (33:59):
You like.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
I know it's quite a sensitive topic, but hey, look
there you go. You can go out and style.

Speaker 3 (34:06):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and PJ the podcast The Heads.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
I had to duck out after our show meeting today.
So we usually get in around the day one and
somewhere in between at one o'clock twelve five every day on.

Speaker 2 (34:28):
The not I've been here twelve thirty sometimes same same.

Speaker 5 (34:31):
Yeah, when you were here early Metal, You're like, oh,
I actually had an appointment in town.

Speaker 2 (34:37):
For another reason.

Speaker 1 (34:39):
Anyway, after a show planning meeting today, I was like, guys,
I just got to go after the soupermarket because by
the time I do it after the show, I end
up being late and I want to just have the
wine down with my little two year old when to
get home? So I went and ran a few heroes
and went to the supermarket. When I was getting stressed uck,
so did tell you guys, i'd be back by two thirty.

(35:00):
We never good. Half an hour before the show started
and I realized I'd been standing in this line for
quite some time with my trolley. I was like, what
is going on?

Speaker 2 (35:10):
And do you were the multiple lines?

Speaker 3 (35:13):
Yeap?

Speaker 2 (35:14):
So are you someone that just picks a line sticks
to the line, because I would be tempted to change lines.

Speaker 1 (35:20):
Well, I ended up changing lines because I realized there
was actually a sign in the aisle saying, we actually
have a trainee in progress today. Patience is appreciated.

Speaker 6 (35:33):
And there you were, tapping your foot, looking at your
watch doing the whole.

Speaker 1 (35:41):
I mean, I look and I know, but I just
I looked to hear it and it was a very
big shop from the customer in front of me, and
there was no way it was going to be less
than fifteen minutes. So I did do the diversion to
the isle across and then I just I felt really sorry,
why why are you giving me that? Fay? Should I
have gone a few whiles? No, no, no, no, no, no, no,

(36:02):
keep going, and so I went to the next one.
But I thought, surely I can do that like outside
of workouts, because that isn't it? Like I'm just thinking
of No, you've got to learn on the job. I
understand there, but just especially like right at the beginning,
just to you know, avoid getting the embarrassment like as

(36:24):
you are literally learning, can't you do that with other
fellow workers inside the outside of the so you.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
Want them to roll play a shopping situation. It will
help you for your convenience.

Speaker 1 (36:37):
Not for my convenience. So then I don't have to
have all these people. I'm sorry, sorry, you can do
it outside.

Speaker 2 (36:44):
Of food stuff.

Speaker 3 (36:49):
Many in the podcast.

Speaker 1 (36:55):
Mess Cicia is and the studio over another. I've had
a mass, You've got three topics ready to fire away.
We cannot be indecisive. The purpose of this segment is
to make us more sure, more opinionated, I think working.

Speaker 5 (37:13):
Except be concise and quick with your answers.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
Yeah, yeah, we say that. We're so decisive and then
and we're like.

Speaker 2 (37:21):
Oh, I'm really, I'm really okay, here we go.

Speaker 10 (37:25):
Right.

Speaker 5 (37:25):
Question one, playing douku.

Speaker 1 (37:29):
Mess mess, isn't it suku?

Speaker 6 (37:34):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (37:35):
I say sudoku, but I think so I've heard people
say souko'd ok right so many different ways.

Speaker 1 (37:43):
Yeah, that was huge maybe, like I don't know, early
two thousands.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
Yeah, it would have been about the twenty tens kin. Yeah,
I'm not a I'm not an everyday Sudoku player, but
I'll devil from time to time.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
I still like, you do a lot of activities with
your brain every day, though, don't you like whether it's
I Dodd.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
Do many crossword I do connections, I do a lot
of those New York Times games. Keep the brain fresh, peage, and.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
Then we should do some more brains.

Speaker 2 (38:18):
God doesn't help me clearly.

Speaker 7 (38:19):
But.

Speaker 1 (38:21):
At least try all right.

Speaker 5 (38:23):
Number two, taking a trolley through the self service at
the supermarket.

Speaker 2 (38:28):
Mess. I mean, I try and avoid it, but I
have done it before, so I'll say it.

Speaker 5 (38:35):
Have you seen some of them have signs now and
they say no trolleys through the Yeah. And I was
at a supermarket the other day and the guy behind
me had like a huge trolley like stacking up and
he started to roll at it and the lady was like, nope, nope,
get out of here, go to the counter.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
It's twelve or fifteen items this yeah yeah, h yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
So what does it matter whether that comes from the
trolley or a basket.

Speaker 5 (38:56):
I know because it's maybe because it kind of blocks
people's ways.

Speaker 2 (39:00):
So do you count the items when you're going through
to see if you've got like twelve or fifteen or less?

Speaker 10 (39:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (39:07):
Yeah, yeah, it's an.

Speaker 1 (39:12):
Ish someone needs to roughly alright.

Speaker 5 (39:17):
And the third one physical alarm clocks.

Speaker 2 (39:22):
Mess mess mess.

Speaker 5 (39:25):
Oh.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
It gives me PTSD from being always the most obnoxious
alarm noises.

Speaker 1 (39:33):
I must say, it does appeal to me that you
don't have your phone right beside your bed. That is
probably the benefit of it sitting the alarm and then
you just have your phone out of the room because
if you know, you use that excuse of well I
need to wake up in the morning, so you use
your phone. But that is some That is one solution
that people use to get the old out of the room.

Speaker 5 (39:53):
I do have an alarm clock radio in my room.
It's the most hardest thing when you need to change
the daylight saving time.

Speaker 1 (40:00):
Oh year. It's so complent, stup it up and go
all the way best so much, so much.

Speaker 5 (40:07):
But then, to be honest, I don't even listen to
the radio on it I've got my post.

Speaker 1 (40:10):
Yeah you know you're not listening to the twenty four cents.
