Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Hats Drive with media PJ thanks to Chemist Warehouse,
the Real House of Fragrances. On that Hello and welcome
to the podcast, you might be thinking, oh, this is different.
It's usually PJ that says hello and welcome to the podcast.
That is because PJ is not here today. Producer here
(00:21):
is with me though, Hello, Hello.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yes, PJ is quote marks sick.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Yeah, she says sick. But it is convenient that it
just happens to be that the first day back from
a long weekend, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
It does three days off, she's posting all over her Instagram,
I know, and then suddenly on the Tuesday morning she
can't make it into it.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Tell me about it. We wanted to give her a
we wanted to do a welfare check today. We wanted
to call her and basically give her a hard time
for not being at work today. But no, she genuinely
is sick. Because we got a message back from her
saying I'm so sorry, I'm dealing with my son who's
got a bit of a fever and yeah, so not good. No,
So we genuinely we are thinking of PJ. She will
(01:02):
be at tomorrow, hopefully, hopefully she should be.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I feel like when people say that they're sick, everyone's like,
oh my god, it's COVID, it's COVID, but like it's
just a bug.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
No, it's just a bug, which I think is part
of the course when you've got like an eighteen month
old exactly. So I'm just trying to I was at
a wedding over the weekend and the I took so
many photos mate, of course, so it was my best
ring getting married, and I was in a bridal party,
and everyone kind of had like roles to play within
the bridle party, and mine was chief content creator.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
And did you dub yourself that?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I know she dubbed me that. No, she dubbed me that,
But it does mean they took a lot of photos
and videos over the weekend on my phone and now
she sent me like a like a drop boat, a
drop box, yeah, like website to basically upload all the photos.
But my god, it's a pain in the ass. It's
taking so long.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
With the work WiFi.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Tell me flow in the air. But I did. We
filmed like it. I saw a few like TikTok trends
over the last few months and I was like, well,
that'd be good we'll do that one. We'll do that one.
But of course, what you don't even, what you don't
really think about, is that the morning of someone's wedding
is crazy, busy, hectic, and there's so much going on.
(02:21):
And let me tell you, the last thing lots of
brides feel like doing is like filming TikTok trends. But
bless her. I mean, she's an extrovert like me. We
meet like doing school plays and stuff. Okay, yeah, so
she was. She was up for it.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
How many did you film?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Only two? But one of them was a bit One
of them was quite short and sweet, like we just
did it in one quick take, but the other one
had different parts to it. And we filmed it across
the morning and I was getting in the way of
like I was getting in the way of a the
professional photographer who.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Like, who's been paid to be there, be paid to
be there, and.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
We were running late, and I was like, holding up.
We're running like anyway, not because of me, just generally,
but I was holding things up even further because I
was like, sorry, sorry, We've got to film this TikTok trend. Yeah,
And it had it involved lip syncing and the bride
lip syncing. Oh my god, when you're under pressure, like
time pressure, trying to lip sync to this TikTok sound,
(03:15):
let me tell you it takes quite a few goals
to get it right.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
So yes, now I haven't had my own wedding yet,
so I know that it's a very stressful day. But
for me, I was at going to the Tailor Swift
concert getting ready, big deal and in Melbourne, and I
was like, I wanted to do all these TikTok trends
of like the before and after, like in the pajamas
and then boom in the outfit, and me and my
friend filmed all these befors and then we didn't have
(03:39):
time to do the afters because I was so rushed
and like wasting our time doing TikTok. So it looks
like it's so easy and fun, but there's so much
to go into one of those bloody transitional videos.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Oh that's so stressful, and sometimes I go is it
worth it? Probably not, but.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Check them out on TikTok.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Actually they did work out quite well. I showed you
one of them. I liked that one and it did
work the yeah, yeah, yeah, it was such a fun day.
Though it was amazing and being in a brother party,
it's just so much fun. Yeah. I did the speech,
which we didn't actually talk about on the show.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
No, and because we actually brought it up on Friday,
we actually and from when you were away, Maddie was
away and me and PJ. I think it might have
been in this podcast intro as well. We brought up
that you sent us a message on Friday or Saturday morning,
you hadn't even written your speech yet.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
For Jackie, that is not quite true. I was kind
of playing it up a little bit. Oh okay, I
had done quite a bit of work, but we definitely
finessed it. So so on Friday we had to go
to the sand Geeks, which was like the Indian traditional
part of the wedding, and then the more western wedding
was on Sunday. So Friday we picked up one of
(04:53):
my really good friends from the airport who was also
a bridesmaid and who and I were doing the speech together, right,
and we drove up to the sand Geek, which was
about an hour north of Auckland, so we had about
an hour in the car to like finesse it, and
we practiced it and we read it out to Ryan.
What I will say is because Ryan is bless him,
(05:14):
like quite savage at the best of times. And the
first draft that we read to him, he said, oh,
it's a bit mean, and he thought it was me yes,
And I thought, if Ryan is telling us it's a
bit mean, we have to change it. And we changed it,
and I think we I think we nailed it.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Was it like joke, you mean, like kind of.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Taking me, but maybe just like there was an element
of it that as soon as I read it, I
was like, yeah, it does sound meaner than I meant
it too, So let's tone it back because it's not
a twenty first speech, it's a wedding speech. But we
did it, and I was very nervous, but we got
through it, and I'm just so happy for my friend.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Yeah, I'm so glad. I'm glad you made it back
in one piece and you're not too hungover today.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
No, No, I was actually fine the next day.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, I won't lie. We did. We did get takeaways
on Monday. Otherwise, No, we're good to go. We're good
to go anyway. Thank you for being with me to
the Sierrah, I mean, really holding down.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
The foe been allowed to turn my mic on today.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Well, PJ was away. Hopefully she'll be back tomorrow, but we'll.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yes, and we did tease on Friday as well, a
couple of things that you don't know, so hopefully we'll
be able to bring those up tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah. I don't know about them, but I have heard
that there's stuff happening in the wings, so I'm curious
to see what they are. Should I be worried?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Nah, I think it's just it's fine.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Fine, your voice went I when you see that. Okay, Well, anyway,
hopefully that will happen tomorrow if PJ is back. But
in the meantime, enjoy today's podcast. There are some great
elements today to today's show. We open up the People's
Jury and I feel like this could be a thing.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Definitely could Yeah. Is it just because everyone wait agree
with me?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah. The defendant was Victoria, Well, the defendant was Victoria's
spoiler alert. But we went into something that happened to
me over the weekend and I needed some feedback, so
we opened up the People's Jury and got a verdict.
Group therapy was fascinating this week. A really nice little
professional dilemma that someone had and we played Maddie shouts.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
And guess who won again.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah, well you'll hear all of that and more on
today's podcast. Enjoy bye the podcast. It's Pink Runaway on
with Maddy and PJ. Oh my gosh. Pj's away today.
So I'm I'm doing the heavy lifting today and I'm not.
(07:46):
I keep forgetting that I meant to do the I
meant to say what song it is and what artist
it was, So apologies for the very slight one second
delay while I remembered that that was my job today
and it's not even it's only just gone through clock. Anyway,
You're with Mediam PJ for the afternoon. PJA is sick,
but I'm here with producer Sierra. Hello, Sira, Hello, Sorry,
(08:07):
that was my bad.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I was looking at you like, we're on, we are.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
On, We're there, here we are. I of course, was
away over the weekend for the long weekend. My best
friend got married. This woman and I met when we
were thirteen. Wow, we're going back about twenty five years now.
This show's my age and it was amazing. It was
just so beautiful to be there on a big day.
(08:30):
I was part of the bridal party as well, my
first ever bridal party that I've ever been in.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Wow, yeah, I know, you got to dress up all extravagant.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Well, we had the sangitas I mentioned before on the
Friday night, and in the Sunday was the more kind
of traditional Western wedding and that was it was just
the whole thing was amazing. But the Saturday night, so
the night before the wedding, all of the bridal party
went out to this accommodation to stay with the bride
the night before her wedding. And when we got out there,
(09:00):
she said to us, Lock, We're going to have a nice, fun,
relaxing night, but there are a couple of tasks that
we do need to tick off. Today's you straight to
work exactly, And to be fear that, we all said, absolutely,
put us to work. That's what we're here for. We
want to help out. Shouldn't all be on your shots
just because you're the bride. So tell us what you
want us to do and we will do it. And
she said, well, I've bitten off more than I could chew.
(09:21):
She said, she came up with this idea that she
wanted to write little love notes to every single guest
that was coming to the wedding. So you know, when
you if you go to a wedding, you'll often see
the seating chart. It'll tell you where you're sitting. So
the seating chart was actually the love letters. So you'd
go on to this big board, pull out your love no,
it would have like a cute little personalized message, and
(09:42):
then tell you where you were sitting.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Wait, so these personalized messages. She was getting the bridesmaids
to help.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
So here's so this is the task. So she said,
I've written the messages. I've typed them.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Oh she wrote them.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I typed up all the messages. But she wanted to
handwrite them onto cards, and she said, I don't have
enough time to write them all handwrite than myself. She said,
I can't believe, like I've stupidly decided that this is
how we're going to do it, and here we are,
this is the situation. So she had started, but she said,
I need your help to finish them off. And there
were quite a few left to write, she said, quite
a large wedding. So I reckon there were maybe like
(10:16):
one hundred love notes left to right. So we all
said put us to work. So we got sheets of
we got sheets of paper with the typed out messages,
and we basically were just transcribing them onto pieces of
paper and handwriting. And I started to write my very
first note, and I was no more than maybe five
(10:38):
words into the note, and one of the one of
the bride'smaids, looked over and said, is that your handwriting?
And I said yes, obviously, obviously, And she said, I
don't think you can write these notes?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Was it really hard to read?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
No? Well, no, so I don't. Here's my thing. I
I think my handwriting is perfectly fine, perfectly fine. She said,
my handwriting is too unique. Oh my argument was everyone's
handwriting unique. That's kind of the point of hand written.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
She's so unique, like, oh, it's quite unique.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
It was definitely code for something, but she never she
never delved into it. But then here's the thing, because
of course she said it. Then everyone else had a
look at the pieces of paper, and everyone collectively agreed
that my handwriting wasn't up to scratch to be able
to write these loves.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
A bride there as well.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
The bride was not there at this point. She was
upstairs writing her speech. So this was a task left
to the bridesmaid and a couple of extra friends as well,
and they all agreed my handwriting was too strange to
be able to write these love notes. I was fired from.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
The task, fired five minutes the job, not.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Even five minutes into the job. So I didn't even
write i fall single note for these love notes before
I was fired. And now I've developed a complex about
my handwriting that I have never had before.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
You need some validation, don't you.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Well, I'm just curious to know whether this was just
a very small, insular decision that was made, or whether
my handwriting is in fact, very very unique. So I
wanted to open up the people's jury today. What we've
done is I've written a little handwriting sample. You can
go and check it out on either the Hits drive
on Instagram or on Facebook. Go and have a look
(12:33):
at my handwriting, and then I would love for three
people to make up a jury so they can vote
on whether or not my handwriting is in fact a
little too unique. So go have a look at my
handwriting sample on Instagram or on Facebook, and then give
us a call on oh eight hundred the Hits and
you can join the People's Jury the podcast, and I
(12:59):
am trying to put together the People's Jury because I
was told over the weekend that my handwriting was far
too unique to write personalized messages for my friend's wedding.
I got fired from the job. So we have put
up a little sample of my handwriting. You can go
and check it out on either the Hits Drive on
Instagram or Facebook. And I want to get the official
(13:22):
People's Jury results. So we've got three calls on the line.
We're going to go to Jane first. Hi Jane, Hi Maddy,
how are you good? Do you think, Jane and your
professional opinion that it was fair for me to be
fired from this job at the wedding? No, okay, give
me your honest feedback. What do you think of my handwriting? Jane?
Speaker 4 (13:44):
It is it's unique.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
I mean, people that do telegraphy have a hard job
making something look different, and you've got it naturally.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Thank you. So they should have actually embraced embraced my
uniqueness for sure. Okay, brilliant. All right, I'm sending this
feedback to the other bridesmaids. Jane, let's go to Meghan.
That's one vote in favor of the defendant, Meghan go, hi,
how are you good? Thank you very well? Thank you.
(14:18):
We have one vote from the jury in favor of
the defendant. How do you Where do you stand?
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Your handwriting is very very nice. I'm not looking at
it now, but I love it. That's better than mine.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I thank you. And it's got a little bit of
personality and doesn't it.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Yeah, that's really nice. Yeah, you should be quite proud
of that lot of guys. They've got handwriting.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Meghan, you know what you have given me confidence where
I had none. I came back from the wee weekend
feeling very down on my handwriting. That's two votes for
the defendant. Let's go to the third and final vote
for Yona.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
How long?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Hi, Maddie, how are you very well? Thank you? Is
this a unanimous vote on the jury or where do
you standous? Oh?
Speaker 4 (15:09):
You've got very It's lovely writing and very readable. I
can't understand what they're talking about.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
So if you had gotten one of these handwritten notes
from me over the weekend, you would have been very pleased.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
I would have, and so, yeah, I just don't understand
where they're coming from.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
The you go, thank you so much. That is a
unanimous verdict from the People's Jury Today producers here, I
did have a look at my handwriting, and we held
off getting the official verdict from her. What do you think?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Look, I will say, yes, okay, I couldn't tell it
was a boy's handwriting.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
That's but not bad enough that you wouldn't have accepted me.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
No. If I feel like, especially when you're that, when
you're that close to the wedding and you just need
someone to write the letter.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Done right, there you go. I feel very validated. Thank
you so much, And we'll send all three of those
people in the jury a little Chemistry your House prize
because they've made me feel very good about myself today.
Many the podcasts away at the moment, but I am joined,
of course by the lovely producer Siah. Hello, and you
(16:19):
actually might be able to help me with this because
you are famously on the gen Z Millennials famous. They
always talk about it, we do, well, we always talk
about it on the show that you are right on
the cusp of gen Z and Millennial.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Yes, it's a hard life. I don't know where I say.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Where do you see? Don't know? Does it depend from
topic to top it?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
It does like here with you two, I feel like
I'm the gen z you really are. But then when
I'm out with the gen Z's in the office and
then like a millennial play and stuff like that, I'm like, I'm.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Sorry, oh yeah, yeah, Well you might be able to
help me, because I'm curious to know where you stand
on this. In the UK, they have launched a petition.
A group has launched a bit to get gen zs
to change the way they order drinks at the bar right,
because you know, if you go into the bar and
you go up to order a drink, there will often
(17:11):
be a long, spread out line right across the bar
and it is up to you to try and get
the attention of the person behind the bar.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Yeah, there's often many f pos machines along the bar.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Correct. Yeah, but you have to wait, and you have
to be very bold, yes, make icon eye contact, chin up,
put your hand up if need be, call out, excuse me.
But in the UK especially they've noticed, left over from
the pandemic where social distancing was such a thing, gen
zetters are going into bars and lining up behind the
(17:43):
bar single file.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
This is a thing. This happens in New Zealand as well,
I've actually noticed that, so have I, and it's annoying.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Okay, so this is okay because they say it's a
gen zea thing, and I'm curious to know. Is this
the thing that you partake in?
Speaker 5 (17:57):
No?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I think this time I'm on the millennium side, right,
because it kind of fills up the whole bar, like
when you're entering the bar, or when you're trying to
get past the bathroom and there's this huge line and
you don't know where to stand. It's awkward.
Speaker 7 (18:08):
Yes, yeah, yeah, absolutely, although I guess it does at
least have some uniformity to it. Yeah, next, otherwise you
are left at the mercy of can I get the
attention of the bar?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I do hate it when someone sneaks in front of
me when I've been waiting at the bath That.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Is the worst thing. But also is it a right
of passage? Is that just the way that we all
have to operate and go through life trying to order drinks? Anyway? Actually,
I'd love to know your thoughts. Teach us four four
eight seven. What is better spread out along the bar
or single file? Let us know on the text machine.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Maddy ANDPJ Many and PJ, the podcasts Many and PJS
group therapy.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yes, it's time to take a collective deep breath New
Zealand as we delve into the realms of group therapy.
Put your feet up. Well, no, I don't put your
feet up because a lot of you will probably be
in the car and that's very dangerous, So don't put
your feet up. But I was gonna say, even sit
back and relate. Don't sit back and relate. No, keep driving,
keep driving U icy load. But anyway, think about maybe
(19:17):
sitting back and relaxing because it is time for us
to delve into deep group therapy this week. PJ is
away at the moment, but I am going to be
joined for some thoughts by producer Sarah. Hello. Hello, this
is a bit of a professional dilemma that we've had
sent in this week. And by the way, you can
always get in touch with us if you have a
dilemma you would like us to weigh in on. You
(19:38):
can text us four for eight seven, you can give
us a call and I right Hindra the Hits. You
can head to the Hits dot co dot nz and
register your dilemmas like this person did this week. Hello Ade,
Madi and PJ. They say, I've got a bit of
a professional dilemma. I wanted your thoughts on. I've been
looking to head overseas for work for a while now,
and I've been applying for a bunch of jobs around
(19:59):
the world. World great news. I've been offered too.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
It's not amazing congret.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, one of them is an incredible professional offer. I'd
be heading up a department and it would be so
powerful for my career. The other job is great too,
but not as much of a professional step up as
the first one. But it actually pays slightly more and
the lifestyle opportunities would be really fun. So now I'm
super torn. Do I go for the job with a
(20:28):
better position that could really set me in my career
up for the future, or do I take the fun
job that isn't a senior but would pay me slightly more.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
That's a hard it's a hard delimit to have because
it's like best of both worlds kind of things.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
I mean, first of all, amazing and it sounds like
they're both great opportunities. I don't think you'd be selling
yourself short by picking either one or no, But I
guess it comes down to a decision of planning for
your future or living in the now. Yes, and that
kind of is ultimately up to you to decide at
what point of life for you in because if you
are in your twenties, for example, I'd say living the now,
(21:06):
go for it. You've got so much time to develop
your career to go for those big opportunities. But you know,
if you are in an older stage of life where
you are really looking for that professional development, then maybe
it's time to take that opportunity.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Well, you think my first thoughts were I love to
have fun at my job, So I was instantly more
attracted to the second one. Money more fun, more money,
A little bit low level. I don't want to be
up in management. I don't want to worry about that stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Yeah, le stress, Right, what do you think? I think
life is for living and you've kind of just got
to enjoy life. I truly think that work life balance
is so important. But there is something really appealing if
you love your job about taking a step up and
(21:59):
really feeling like you're professionally fulfilled. And if you play
it right, and especially if you're hitting the department, then
you're it's kind of in your hands to create a
culture where you can still have fun, have a bit
of work life balance, but still get that real professional
fulfillment as well.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
And that's probably what they've been working towards this whole time,
that role probably.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Totally yeah, and they might not come up all the time, right,
So you kind of got to grab the ball by
the horn. It's a real tough one. So I mean
to be fear what if Sarah and I know, no,
we know a bit, but I would love to get
your thoughts on this, and maybe you've been in a
really similar situation, maybe you had to make this choice.
You can weigh in on group therapy this week. Please
(22:45):
get in touch on E one hundred The Hits, or
you can text us to four four eight seven Maddy, J.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
Mady ANDPJ the podcast The Heads, Many and PJS Group therapy.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yes, it is time for us to delve into the
lives of other people basically and their problems, their dilemmas, because,
as PJ always says, the problem shared is a problem halved.
So if you've ever got anything going on in your
life that you think, actually, I'd love a second opinion
on this, you can always get in touch with us
like this person did. I'll recap our dilemma for this week.
(23:22):
Hello Madie and PJ. I've got a bit of a
professional dilemma I wanted your thoughts on. I've been looking
to head overseas for work for a while now, and
I've been applying for a bunch of jobs around the world.
Great news I've been offered too. One of them is
an incredible professional offer. I'd be heading up a department
and it would be so powerful for my career. The
other job is great too, but not as much of
a professional step up as the first one, but it
(23:44):
actually pays slightly more and the lifestyle opportunities would be
really fun. So now I'm super torn. Do I go
for the job with a better position that could really
set me in my career up for the future, or
do I take the fun job that isn't a senior
but would pay me slightly.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
You can get in touch on the phones oh eight
hundred the hits if you'd like to weigh in, or
you can text us through to four four eight seven.
Harry has called us. Hi, Harry Hid very well. How
are you doing, my friend?
Speaker 8 (24:13):
I'm good, Thank you?
Speaker 1 (24:14):
What are Eurekim, what are your thoughts on this. Have
you been in a similar situation.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
If the if the person who's called in is more
career oriented, they should go for the professional one. Yeah,
because obviously somebody who's offered them that job thinks that
they're worthy of that job. Totally if you can step
up and take the job off of But it's somebody who's,
like you said, late twenties and the early thirties, who
wants a bit of a lifestyle as well, then take
(24:41):
a coble, the one that plays a bit more but
has a lifestyle as well.
Speaker 6 (24:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Well it's a funny one, right, Harry, Because just because
you're a little bit old, it doesn't mean you're still
not looking for a little bit of fun in your life, you.
Speaker 8 (24:51):
Know, absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah, Hey, thank you so much for the call Harry
that he's got a Stephen on eight hundred the hits
Hi Stephen a game. Many are Yeah, very well, mate,
how are you?
Speaker 3 (25:01):
You're not too bad?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
What do you reckon?
Speaker 3 (25:04):
I honestly reckon the same as what the other person
has said on the phone at your career driven and
that's what you want in life, like, definitely take that option.
But I've done in those high spots before and it
does bring on a lot of streets scenary thing. Yeah,
it was me, I'd take the fun roll, enjoy life
how long you've got and just look it up.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
That's kind of where I reckon. I land as well, Stephen.
I mean if you I feel like, if you don't
immediately jump at the opportunity for professional development, it means
you're not you're not ready for it, or you don't
want it, like you're not hungry for it, and not
everyone is right, Like some people really really seek that
out in life, and others are just quite happy having
(25:45):
a bit of fun in their jobs. And that's there's
nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
No, that's exactly right. So yeah, if it was me,
you know, you've got me a time and life to
look at that more professional.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Stuff later on.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Just enjoy life then go from me, I reckon, go.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Have some fun and in a bit of money as well.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Yeah, exactly, I love.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
It, Steven, Thank you so much. We've got a chemist
Warehouse prize to hook you up with my friend.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
Awesome.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Thank you very much, Maddie, thank you so much for
giving us a call. I reckon. This is where we've
come to You've got to just decide what stage of
life are you in, and you'll know are you in
the stage where you desperately are seeking some professional development.
If so, take the bigger job. If you actually just
want a bit of fun and you want to just
chill out for a little bit. If you're in that
stage of life, take the fun job with a little
(26:29):
bit more money. There's plenty of time for a bit
more professional career development later on in life. Like I said,
if you've got any dilemmas you want us to weigh
in on, you can always hit us up at the
Hits dot co dot m Z.
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Mady and PJ.
Speaker 6 (26:44):
Mady and PJ the podcast thes Maddy's Shout.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
Yes, it is time for me to shout you Well.
Often it's dinner, but we're mixing it up a little
bit today. And if you beat me in this tea
trivia quiz, I'm going to shout you one entry into
our jingle Ball competition to get you live to New York.
And I'm even going to shout you a little prize
from Chemist Warehouse. All you have to do is beat
(27:15):
me in a TV trivia quiz. We're going to play
clips from various TV shows that producer Sira has selected,
and as soon as one of us knows which TV
show that clip comes from, we say our names, we
guess it, and if we get it right, the point
goes to us. Tina, does that make sense?
Speaker 5 (27:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Simple? How's your TV knowledge?
Speaker 4 (27:38):
It's good?
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Okay? All right, okay, I actually got beaten for the
first time last week. Could we go back to back
with me losing Maddie's shout? What are you rehim?
Speaker 4 (27:53):
Someone's going to be watching? Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Producer Serra has selected three clips from three different shows,
and is there a theme this week? Sarah?
Speaker 2 (28:03):
There is a theme today. I have mixed it up. Okay,
keeping you on your toes, both of you. So the
theme today is theme tunes two shows.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Oh, so we hear the tune and then we have
to guess which show it comes from.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
Yes, So as soon as you know, you need to
yell out your name, okay, Tina.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Okay, okay, just the TV show, not this band, Who's
or the thing?
Speaker 1 (28:34):
Correct? You just need to know which TV show it
comes from, Tina? Okay, all right, here we go. Here
is clip number one.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Maddie, Oh, Tina, there was Game of Thrones?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Were you going to guess that?
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Tina, I've never watched that show, but I know that thing.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Go so I'm the same Tina. I've never seen Game
of Thrones either.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Oh my gosh, you both have to watch it. Okay,
take anything away from this today.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Okay, you were in there though, Tina, you were in there.
But that is a point to me. That is a
point to me.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
I will watch an episode.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
Okay, great, perfect, good promise. All right, here's number two.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
I don't want to wrong.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
That's okay, Tina. Did you say tany to just go
for it? Just stab in the dark.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
It sounds like from like back in the day, like
Dawson's Creek kind of era.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
It's not right though, not Dawson's Creek. Let's deflict to Maddie,
I know what it is.
Speaker 5 (29:39):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
I can see them too in the in the intro
they are driving in a car, correct as the songs playing. Okay,
so that is to me, Tina. Here's what I'm gonna do,
because I'm feeling really generous today. If you can beat
me in this last question, I'm still going to give
you the prizes.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Okay, Okay, here we go, come Tina, I'm going to
give you a hint. It's it's a it's a newer show,
newer than that seventies show. Okay, it's it's newer. All right,
here we go. Come on, Tina, really, Maddie, you're so
(30:25):
so yes, Tina, what do you think it's?
Speaker 5 (30:28):
That is a yellowstone?
Speaker 1 (30:31):
For no, I know what it is. It's the White Lotus.
You know what, Tina, you know what. I'm not going
to give you the Chemist Weirhouse Prize, but I'm feeling
very generous. I'm still going to put you in the
drawer for our jingle ball competition. Okay, thank you, you're
(30:52):
so well. God, I'm nice. It's so nice.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
It was a great effort from both.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
It was a really nice effort, Tina, but unfortunately I
remained victorious. If you want another shot, we'll play it
again next week. Mary J.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Many and PJ The podcast that the People's Poll, The
People's Poll, everybody comes together, It's the People's Poll.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Yes, every day we come to the table with let's
be honest, often a little trivial topic that we get
you to weigh in on, and we try and determine
the results for the People's Poll. PJ is not here,
but I'll get producer the Serra to weigh in with
her thoughts today because something happened to me that I'm
(31:38):
curious to know what you would have done. So I
was sent out on a mission over the weekend to
get three M hooks. You know the hooks that you
attached to the wall and often they use ye often
they used for hanging photographs or something.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
That, yeah, mirror that kind of stuff.
Speaker 8 (31:54):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
We wanted to use them, very short lived, for something
to do with the wedding. So we just wanted to
hang some things for the wedding that I was at
over the weekend. And I was sent out at very
late notice to go and find some three M hooks.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
So I didn't have long to get them. So I
went to the supermarket that was closest and really the
only one I could go to. No three EM hooks.
No three hooks. So I then went to a dairy
that was nearby, thinking maybe the deiry would have them.
They did not have them either. What they did have,
randomly was those like hooks for curtains.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Right, like the little kind of circle ones like yeah,
the key one.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Yes, you'd hang above and then you'd loop the curtains
through them.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Yep, yep.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
So they had those, and I thought, well, what is
better here for me to return home empty handed? Because
I haven't managed to get me three emhooks. I don't
have enough time to go to multiple supermarkets or anything,
or do I return home with something that is not
the same? And I completely acknowledged that, but it least
is something similar that maybe we could do something with.
(33:04):
Boy oh boy, I made the wrong call clearly because
I turned home, returned back with the curtain hooks from
the Dairyes, and was absolutely roasted for my decision to
come home with something that wasn't what I was sent
out to get.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Did you try the curtain hooks once you brought them home,
DoD they at least try to see if they would work.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
No, they didn't know.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
You think they would have worked for what you needed?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I don't know. I don't know that they would have, Okay,
But I thought it was better to return home with
something than to return home with nothing. So that is
today's people's poll. When you were sent out to get
something specific and you cannot get the thing you were
sent out to get, what is better to return home
with something else that is slightly similar, or to return
(33:51):
home empty handed. You can weigh in on the Hits
Drive on Instagram, Maddy EMPTYJ, Maddy and PJ.
Speaker 6 (34:00):
The podcast that the People's Poll, the People's Poll.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Everybody comes together, It's the People's Poll. Yes, it's time
for the People's Poll and today. This is a very
simple question. If you were sent out to get something
from the store or from the supermarket and they don't
quite have what you were sent out to get, is
it better to return home with something similar or in
the same slight vein is what you were asked to get?
(34:26):
Or are you better to just return home empty handed?
This was the dile Maria's faced with over the weekend.
What would you do? Producers here?
Speaker 2 (34:33):
H Yeah, I've just had to think about this. I
am someone who kind of needs to check with someone
else for validation what I'm out and about, So I
would need to call and be like, do you think
the curtain hawks would work?
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Yes? Right?
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Do you think?
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (34:45):
But if you were in that situation and it was
a wedding, it was last minute, and you just needed
anything to hold whatever you were using it for up,
I think I would just get something similar.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
So that at least you've at least you've returned with
an option as supposed to no option at all. Right, exactly,
My god, I was roasted for my decision. But anyway,
anyway we asked you, I would say that most people
on the text machine have actually seed the opposite. They've
seed return home empty handed. Wow.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Okay, well Instagram's a little bit different. So sixty two
percent have agreed with you, just get something similar, yep,
But thirty eight percent would return home empty handed.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Okay, so I was in the majority. Then, Yeah, I
feel like you've just got to try something right. Like
it's a little bit of a problem solve a situation
I tried to problem solve. Might not have worked, but
at least they came with a solution as opposed to
no solution at all.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
You can tell everyone at the wedding that you were right.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
My handwriting is fine, as we discussed earlier in the show,
and I was right in this situation. So god, I'm
feeling validated validated today. Anyway, if you've got any ideas
for any people pold that you would like us to do,
you can text them through now to four four eight seven.
Many INPJ the podcast see mpj's Science Chat.
Speaker 6 (35:58):
Warning the following content may not be it's scientifically or otherwise.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Yeah, so we decided pretty early on in the show
that PJ and I would get quite easily hooked in
by a headline. We'd see a fascinating headline, often about
something to do with science, you know, the body, space,
all sorts of science y things. It would think, this
sounds fascinating, let's talk about it on the show, and
then we would get immediately lost as we started to
(36:24):
try and explain this. We have to present a little
bit of a disclaimer before we come in here. Pj's
not here tonight. She's a little bit under the weather.
But I still wanted to bring this to the table,
and it's a shame she's not here because I feel
like she would have enjoyed this story. But produce the theory.
You might be able to weigh in. Are you into space.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
A little bit? But I'll try be woo woo for
Pj's sake. If you want me to be, well.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
You can be if you want to. Here's the thing
about space. For me, I'm fascinated by it right every
time I look up in the night sky. I just
I have a a bit of an existential crisis thinking
about how tiny we are and how much is out there.
Do you know that here's one of the most fun
fans about space for me. So some of the stars
(37:05):
that we see, yes, are actually not even there anymore.
They're burning they're burning out, yes, But because that's so
far away from us, we're still still seeing them.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Yeah. It is pretty wild when you think too hard
about it.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Crazy crazy, and when you think we're tiny within our
own galaxy, but then we're a tiny galaxy within a
bunch of other galaxy. Just yeah, which makes me think,
you know, there is life out there. There is absolutely
life out there. And I think what has happened is
over the years we've thought of aliens as little green
men with googly eyes that come in the UFOs, But
(37:42):
aliens could be anything, just like anything that's living, right right,
So NASA has said that we could find tiny aliens
hidden under Mars's surface. A particular scientist by the name are.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
I'm not going to pronounce the name actually, Okay, so
a scientist said.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
A scientist has said that actually NASA should be looking
underneath the ice exposures on Mars. Mars has been known
for age for some time that it's home to water
like this water, yes on Mars, and so the scientist
(38:28):
has said that underneath the water it has sheets of ice,
and so then underneath the ice they are likely to
find life.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
So who's going there and hacking into the ice to check?
Speaker 1 (38:44):
So they do have rovers on Mars? Oh okay, NASA does.
They haven't sent people to Mars yet, So I guess
a you get a rover that can like burrow into.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
The ice, yeah, like a robot, right.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Yeah, yeah, or you try and send people there. But
the issue is Mars is so far away that if
you send people there, they're probably not coming back.
Speaker 5 (39:08):
No.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
So there's actually a Doctor Who episode about aliens on Mars,
what I mean?
Speaker 1 (39:12):
And always scientifically it could be right yeah, so they
say because there's the water and there's the ice, like
there would be likely to be living things underneath the water,
so full of life like fungi, algae.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
And they would call those aliens or yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Because it's it's living like an alien doesn't need to
be like a person or a human or anything like that.
It can just be a living organism.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Still pretty exciting.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
So yes, it might not be the aliens that you're
thinking of in your head, but still we could be
closer to finding alien life forms not too far away
from Earth. How did I do in Science Chat?
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Pretty good? I didn't get too lost.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Great, That's all we can strive for. Of Maddy and PJ.
Speaker 6 (40:03):
Mady and PJ the podcast The headsm
The Hats Drive with media PJ thanks to Chemist Warehouse,
the Real House of Fragrances. On that Hello and welcome
to the podcast, you might be thinking, oh, this is different.
It's usually PJ that says hello and welcome to the podcast.
That is because PJ is not here today. Producer here
(00:21):
is with me though, Hello, Hello.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yes, PJ is quote marks sick.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Yeah, she says sick. But it is convenient that it
just happens to be that the first day back from
a long weekend, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
It does three days off, she's posting all over her Instagram,
I know, and then suddenly on the Tuesday morning she
can't make it into it.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Tell me about it. We wanted to give her a
we wanted to do a welfare check today. We wanted
to call her and basically give her a hard time
for not being at work today. But no, she genuinely
is sick. Because we got a message back from her
saying I'm so sorry, I'm dealing with my son who's
got a bit of a fever and yeah, so not good. No,
So we genuinely we are thinking of PJ. She will
(01:02):
be at tomorrow, hopefully, hopefully she should be.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
I feel like when people say that they're sick, everyone's like,
oh my god, it's COVID, it's COVID, but like it's
just a bug.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
No, it's just a bug, which I think is part
of the course when you've got like an eighteen month
old exactly. So I'm just trying to I was at
a wedding over the weekend and the I took so
many photos mate, of course, so it was my best
ring getting married, and I was in a bridal party,
and everyone kind of had like roles to play within
the bridle party, and mine was chief content creator.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
And did you dub yourself that?
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I know she dubbed me that. No, she dubbed me that,
But it does mean they took a lot of photos
and videos over the weekend on my phone and now
she sent me like a like a drop boat, a
drop box, yeah, like website to basically upload all the photos.
But my god, it's a pain in the ass. It's
taking so long.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
With the work WiFi.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Tell me flow in the air. But I did. We
filmed like it. I saw a few like TikTok trends
over the last few months and I was like, well,
that'd be good we'll do that one. We'll do that one.
But of course, what you don't even, what you don't
really think about, is that the morning of someone's wedding
is crazy, busy, hectic, and there's so much going on.
(02:21):
And let me tell you, the last thing lots of
brides feel like doing is like filming TikTok trends. But
bless her. I mean, she's an extrovert like me. We
meet like doing school plays and stuff. Okay, yeah, so
she was. She was up for it.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
How many did you film?
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Only two? But one of them was a bit One
of them was quite short and sweet, like we just
did it in one quick take, but the other one
had different parts to it. And we filmed it across
the morning and I was getting in the way of
like I was getting in the way of a the
professional photographer who.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Like, who's been paid to be there, be paid to
be there, and.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
We were running late, and I was like, holding up.
We're running like anyway, not because of me, just generally,
but I was holding things up even further because I
was like, sorry, sorry, We've got to film this TikTok trend. Yeah,
And it had it involved lip syncing and the bride
lip syncing. Oh my god, when you're under pressure, like
time pressure, trying to lip sync to this TikTok sound,
(03:15):
let me tell you it takes quite a few goals
to get it right.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
So yes, now I haven't had my own wedding yet,
so I know that it's a very stressful day. But
for me, I was at going to the Tailor Swift
concert getting ready, big deal and in Melbourne, and I
was like, I wanted to do all these TikTok trends
of like the before and after, like in the pajamas
and then boom in the outfit, and me and my
friend filmed all these befors and then we didn't have
(03:39):
time to do the afters because I was so rushed
and like wasting our time doing TikTok. So it looks
like it's so easy and fun, but there's so much
to go into one of those bloody transitional videos.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Oh that's so stressful, and sometimes I go is it
worth it? Probably not, but.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Check them out on TikTok.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Actually they did work out quite well. I showed you
one of them. I liked that one and it did
work the yeah, yeah, yeah, it was such a fun day.
Though it was amazing and being in a brother party,
it's just so much fun. Yeah. I did the speech,
which we didn't actually talk about on the show.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
No, and because we actually brought it up on Friday,
we actually and from when you were away, Maddie was
away and me and PJ. I think it might have
been in this podcast intro as well. We brought up
that you sent us a message on Friday or Saturday morning,
you hadn't even written your speech yet.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
For Jackie, that is not quite true. I was kind
of playing it up a little bit. Oh okay, I
had done quite a bit of work, but we definitely
finessed it. So so on Friday we had to go
to the sand Geeks, which was like the Indian traditional
part of the wedding, and then the more western wedding
was on Sunday. So Friday we picked up one of
(04:53):
my really good friends from the airport who was also
a bridesmaid and who and I were doing the speech together, right,
and we drove up to the sand Geek, which was
about an hour north of Auckland, so we had about
an hour in the car to like finesse it, and
we practiced it and we read it out to Ryan.
What I will say is because Ryan is bless him,
(05:14):
like quite savage at the best of times. And the
first draft that we read to him, he said, oh,
it's a bit mean, and he thought it was me yes,
And I thought, if Ryan is telling us it's a
bit mean, we have to change it. And we changed it,
and I think we I think we nailed it.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Was it like joke, you mean, like kind of.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Taking me, but maybe just like there was an element
of it that as soon as I read it, I
was like, yeah, it does sound meaner than I meant
it too, So let's tone it back because it's not
a twenty first speech, it's a wedding speech. But we
did it, and I was very nervous, but we got
through it, and I'm just so happy for my friend.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Yeah, I'm so glad. I'm glad you made it back
in one piece and you're not too hungover today.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
No, No, I was actually fine the next day.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
That's good.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, I won't lie. We did. We did get takeaways
on Monday. Otherwise, No, we're good to go. We're good
to go anyway. Thank you for being with me to
the Sierrah, I mean, really holding down.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
The foe been allowed to turn my mic on today.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Well, PJ was away. Hopefully she'll be back tomorrow, but we'll.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Yes, and we did tease on Friday as well, a
couple of things that you don't know, so hopefully we'll
be able to bring those up tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Yeah. I don't know about them, but I have heard
that there's stuff happening in the wings, so I'm curious
to see what they are. Should I be worried?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Nah, I think it's just it's fine.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Fine, your voice went I when you see that. Okay, Well, anyway,
hopefully that will happen tomorrow if PJ is back. But
in the meantime, enjoy today's podcast. There are some great
elements today to today's show. We open up the People's
Jury and I feel like this could be a thing.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Definitely could Yeah. Is it just because everyone wait agree
with me?
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah. The defendant was Victoria, Well, the defendant was Victoria's
spoiler alert. But we went into something that happened to
me over the weekend and I needed some feedback, so
we opened up the People's Jury and got a verdict.
Group therapy was fascinating this week. A really nice little
professional dilemma that someone had and we played Maddie shouts.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
And guess who won again.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Yeah, well you'll hear all of that and more on
today's podcast. Enjoy bye the podcast. It's Pink Runaway on
with Maddy and PJ. Oh my gosh. Pj's away today.
So I'm I'm doing the heavy lifting today and I'm not.
(07:46):
I keep forgetting that I meant to do the I
meant to say what song it is and what artist
it was, So apologies for the very slight one second
delay while I remembered that that was my job today
and it's not even it's only just gone through clock. Anyway,
You're with Mediam PJ for the afternoon. PJA is sick,
but I'm here with producer Sierra. Hello, Sira, Hello, Sorry,
(08:07):
that was my bad.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
I was looking at you like, we're on, we are.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
On, We're there, here we are. I of course, was
away over the weekend for the long weekend. My best
friend got married. This woman and I met when we
were thirteen. Wow, we're going back about twenty five years now.
This show's my age and it was amazing. It was
just so beautiful to be there on a big day.
(08:30):
I was part of the bridal party as well, my
first ever bridal party that I've ever been in.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Wow, yeah, I know, you got to dress up all extravagant.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Well, we had the sangitas I mentioned before on the
Friday night, and in the Sunday was the more kind
of traditional Western wedding and that was it was just
the whole thing was amazing. But the Saturday night, so
the night before the wedding, all of the bridal party
went out to this accommodation to stay with the bride
the night before her wedding. And when we got out there,
(09:00):
she said to us, Lock, We're going to have a nice, fun,
relaxing night, but there are a couple of tasks that
we do need to tick off. Today's you straight to
work exactly, And to be fear that, we all said, absolutely,
put us to work. That's what we're here for. We
want to help out. Shouldn't all be on your shots
just because you're the bride. So tell us what you
want us to do and we will do it. And
she said, well, I've bitten off more than I could chew.
(09:21):
She said, she came up with this idea that she
wanted to write little love notes to every single guest
that was coming to the wedding. So you know, when
you if you go to a wedding, you'll often see
the seating chart. It'll tell you where you're sitting. So
the seating chart was actually the love letters. So you'd
go on to this big board, pull out your love no,
it would have like a cute little personalized message, and
(09:42):
then tell you where you were sitting.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Wait, so these personalized messages. She was getting the bridesmaids
to help.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
So here's so this is the task. So she said,
I've written the messages. I've typed them.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Oh she wrote them.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I typed up all the messages. But she wanted to
handwrite them onto cards, and she said, I don't have
enough time to write them all handwrite than myself. She said,
I can't believe, like I've stupidly decided that this is
how we're going to do it, and here we are,
this is the situation. So she had started, but she said,
I need your help to finish them off. And there
were quite a few left to write, she said, quite
a large wedding. So I reckon there were maybe like
(10:16):
one hundred love notes left to right. So we all
said put us to work. So we got sheets of
we got sheets of paper with the typed out messages,
and we basically were just transcribing them onto pieces of
paper and handwriting. And I started to write my very
first note, and I was no more than maybe five
(10:38):
words into the note, and one of the one of
the bride'smaids, looked over and said, is that your handwriting?
And I said yes, obviously, obviously, And she said, I
don't think you can write these notes?
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Was it really hard to read?
Speaker 1 (10:55):
No? Well, no, so I don't. Here's my thing. I
I think my handwriting is perfectly fine, perfectly fine. She said,
my handwriting is too unique. Oh my argument was everyone's
handwriting unique. That's kind of the point of hand written.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
She's so unique, like, oh, it's quite unique.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
It was definitely code for something, but she never she
never delved into it. But then here's the thing, because
of course she said it. Then everyone else had a
look at the pieces of paper, and everyone collectively agreed
that my handwriting wasn't up to scratch to be able
to write these loves.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
A bride there as well.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
The bride was not there at this point. She was
upstairs writing her speech. So this was a task left
to the bridesmaid and a couple of extra friends as well,
and they all agreed my handwriting was too strange to
be able to write these love notes. I was fired from.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
The task, fired five minutes the job, not.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
Even five minutes into the job. So I didn't even
write i fall single note for these love notes before
I was fired. And now I've developed a complex about
my handwriting that I have never had before.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
You need some validation, don't you.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Well, I'm just curious to know whether this was just
a very small, insular decision that was made, or whether
my handwriting is in fact, very very unique. So I
wanted to open up the people's jury today. What we've
done is I've written a little handwriting sample. You can
go and check it out on either the Hits drive
on Instagram or on Facebook. Go and have a look
(12:33):
at my handwriting, and then I would love for three
people to make up a jury so they can vote
on whether or not my handwriting is in fact a
little too unique. So go have a look at my
handwriting sample on Instagram or on Facebook, and then give
us a call on oh eight hundred the Hits and
you can join the People's Jury the podcast, and I
(12:59):
am trying to put together the People's Jury because I
was told over the weekend that my handwriting was far
too unique to write personalized messages for my friend's wedding.
I got fired from the job. So we have put
up a little sample of my handwriting. You can go
and check it out on either the Hits Drive on
Instagram or Facebook. And I want to get the official
(13:22):
People's Jury results. So we've got three calls on the line.
We're going to go to Jane first. Hi Jane, Hi Maddy,
how are you good? Do you think, Jane and your
professional opinion that it was fair for me to be
fired from this job at the wedding? No, okay, give
me your honest feedback. What do you think of my handwriting? Jane?
Speaker 4 (13:44):
It is it's unique.
Speaker 5 (13:46):
I mean, people that do telegraphy have a hard job
making something look different, and you've got it naturally.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Thank you. So they should have actually embraced embraced my
uniqueness for sure. Okay, brilliant. All right, I'm sending this
feedback to the other bridesmaids. Jane, let's go to Meghan.
That's one vote in favor of the defendant, Meghan go, hi,
how are you good? Thank you very well? Thank you.
(14:18):
We have one vote from the jury in favor of
the defendant. How do you Where do you stand?
Speaker 5 (14:24):
Your handwriting is very very nice. I'm not looking at
it now, but I love it. That's better than mine.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
I thank you. And it's got a little bit of
personality and doesn't it.
Speaker 5 (14:38):
Yeah, that's really nice. Yeah, you should be quite proud
of that lot of guys. They've got handwriting.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Meghan, you know what you have given me confidence where
I had none. I came back from the wee weekend
feeling very down on my handwriting. That's two votes for
the defendant. Let's go to the third and final vote
for Yona.
Speaker 6 (14:59):
How long?
Speaker 1 (15:01):
Hi, Maddie, how are you very well? Thank you? Is
this a unanimous vote on the jury or where do
you standous? Oh?
Speaker 4 (15:09):
You've got very It's lovely writing and very readable. I
can't understand what they're talking about.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
So if you had gotten one of these handwritten notes
from me over the weekend, you would have been very pleased.
Speaker 4 (15:20):
I would have, and so, yeah, I just don't understand
where they're coming from.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
The you go, thank you so much. That is a
unanimous verdict from the People's Jury Today producers here, I
did have a look at my handwriting, and we held
off getting the official verdict from her. What do you think?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Look, I will say, yes, okay, I couldn't tell it
was a boy's handwriting.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
That's but not bad enough that you wouldn't have accepted me.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
No. If I feel like, especially when you're that, when
you're that close to the wedding and you just need
someone to write the letter.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
Done right, there you go. I feel very validated. Thank
you so much, And we'll send all three of those
people in the jury a little Chemistry your House prize
because they've made me feel very good about myself today.
Many the podcasts away at the moment, but I am joined,
of course by the lovely producer Siah. Hello, and you
(16:19):
actually might be able to help me with this because
you are famously on the gen Z Millennials famous. They
always talk about it, we do, well, we always talk
about it on the show that you are right on
the cusp of gen Z and Millennial.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
Yes, it's a hard life. I don't know where I say.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
Where do you see? Don't know? Does it depend from
topic to top it?
Speaker 2 (16:40):
It does like here with you two, I feel like
I'm the gen z you really are. But then when
I'm out with the gen Z's in the office and
then like a millennial play and stuff like that, I'm like, I'm.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Sorry, oh yeah, yeah, Well you might be able to
help me, because I'm curious to know where you stand
on this. In the UK, they have launched a petition.
A group has launched a bit to get gen zs
to change the way they order drinks at the bar right,
because you know, if you go into the bar and
you go up to order a drink, there will often
(17:11):
be a long, spread out line right across the bar
and it is up to you to try and get
the attention of the person behind the bar.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Yeah, there's often many f pos machines along the bar.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Correct. Yeah, but you have to wait, and you have
to be very bold, yes, make icon eye contact, chin up,
put your hand up if need be, call out, excuse me.
But in the UK especially they've noticed, left over from
the pandemic where social distancing was such a thing, gen
zetters are going into bars and lining up behind the
(17:43):
bar single file.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
This is a thing. This happens in New Zealand as well,
I've actually noticed that, so have I, and it's annoying.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
Okay, so this is okay because they say it's a
gen zea thing, and I'm curious to know. Is this
the thing that you partake in?
Speaker 5 (17:57):
No?
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I think this time I'm on the millennium side, right,
because it kind of fills up the whole bar, like
when you're entering the bar, or when you're trying to
get past the bathroom and there's this huge line and
you don't know where to stand. It's awkward.
Speaker 7 (18:08):
Yes, yeah, yeah, absolutely, although I guess it does at
least have some uniformity to it. Yeah, next, otherwise you
are left at the mercy of can I get the
attention of the bar?
Speaker 2 (18:19):
I do hate it when someone sneaks in front of
me when I've been waiting at the bath That.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Is the worst thing. But also is it a right
of passage? Is that just the way that we all
have to operate and go through life trying to order drinks? Anyway? Actually,
I'd love to know your thoughts. Teach us four four
eight seven. What is better spread out along the bar
or single file? Let us know on the text machine.
Speaker 6 (18:42):
Maddy ANDPJ Many and PJ, the podcasts Many and PJS
group therapy.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
Yes, it's time to take a collective deep breath New
Zealand as we delve into the realms of group therapy.
Put your feet up. Well, no, I don't put your
feet up because a lot of you will probably be
in the car and that's very dangerous, So don't put
your feet up. But I was gonna say, even sit
back and relate. Don't sit back and relate. No, keep driving,
keep driving U icy load. But anyway, think about maybe
(19:17):
sitting back and relaxing because it is time for us
to delve into deep group therapy this week. PJ is
away at the moment, but I am going to be
joined for some thoughts by producer Sarah. Hello. Hello, this
is a bit of a professional dilemma that we've had
sent in this week. And by the way, you can
always get in touch with us if you have a
dilemma you would like us to weigh in on. You
(19:38):
can text us four for eight seven, you can give
us a call and I right Hindra the Hits. You
can head to the Hits dot co dot nz and
register your dilemmas like this person did this week. Hello Ade,
Madi and PJ. They say, I've got a bit of
a professional dilemma. I wanted your thoughts on. I've been
looking to head overseas for work for a while now,
and I've been applying for a bunch of jobs around
(19:59):
the world. World great news. I've been offered too.
Speaker 2 (20:03):
It's not amazing congret.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, one of them is an incredible professional offer. I'd
be heading up a department and it would be so
powerful for my career. The other job is great too,
but not as much of a professional step up as
the first one. But it actually pays slightly more and
the lifestyle opportunities would be really fun. So now I'm
super torn. Do I go for the job with a
(20:28):
better position that could really set me in my career
up for the future, or do I take the fun
job that isn't a senior but would pay me slightly more.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
That's a hard it's a hard delimit to have because
it's like best of both worlds kind of things.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
I mean, first of all, amazing and it sounds like
they're both great opportunities. I don't think you'd be selling
yourself short by picking either one or no, But I
guess it comes down to a decision of planning for
your future or living in the now. Yes, and that
kind of is ultimately up to you to decide at
what point of life for you in because if you
are in your twenties, for example, I'd say living the now,
(21:06):
go for it. You've got so much time to develop
your career to go for those big opportunities. But you know,
if you are in an older stage of life where
you are really looking for that professional development, then maybe
it's time to take that opportunity.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Well, you think my first thoughts were I love to
have fun at my job, So I was instantly more
attracted to the second one. Money more fun, more money,
A little bit low level. I don't want to be
up in management. I don't want to worry about that stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Yeah, le stress, Right, what do you think? I think
life is for living and you've kind of just got
to enjoy life. I truly think that work life balance
is so important. But there is something really appealing if
you love your job about taking a step up and
(21:59):
really feeling like you're professionally fulfilled. And if you play
it right, and especially if you're hitting the department, then
you're it's kind of in your hands to create a
culture where you can still have fun, have a bit
of work life balance, but still get that real professional
fulfillment as well.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
And that's probably what they've been working towards this whole time,
that role probably.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Totally yeah, and they might not come up all the time, right,
So you kind of got to grab the ball by
the horn. It's a real tough one. So I mean
to be fear what if Sarah and I know, no,
we know a bit, but I would love to get
your thoughts on this, and maybe you've been in a
really similar situation, maybe you had to make this choice.
You can weigh in on group therapy this week. Please
(22:45):
get in touch on E one hundred The Hits, or
you can text us to four four eight seven Maddy, J.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
Mady ANDPJ the podcast The Heads, Many and PJS Group therapy.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yes, it is time for us to delve into the
lives of other people basically and their problems, their dilemmas, because,
as PJ always says, the problem shared is a problem halved.
So if you've ever got anything going on in your
life that you think, actually, I'd love a second opinion
on this, you can always get in touch with us
like this person did. I'll recap our dilemma for this week.
(23:22):
Hello Madie and PJ. I've got a bit of a
professional dilemma I wanted your thoughts on. I've been looking
to head overseas for work for a while now, and
I've been applying for a bunch of jobs around the world.
Great news I've been offered too. One of them is
an incredible professional offer. I'd be heading up a department
and it would be so powerful for my career. The
other job is great too, but not as much of
a professional step up as the first one, but it
(23:44):
actually pays slightly more and the lifestyle opportunities would be
really fun. So now I'm super torn. Do I go
for the job with a better position that could really
set me in my career up for the future, or
do I take the fun job that isn't a senior
but would pay me slightly.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
You can get in touch on the phones oh eight
hundred the hits if you'd like to weigh in, or
you can text us through to four four eight seven.
Harry has called us. Hi, Harry Hid very well. How
are you doing, my friend?
Speaker 8 (24:13):
I'm good, Thank you?
Speaker 1 (24:14):
What are Eurekim, what are your thoughts on this. Have
you been in a similar situation.
Speaker 8 (24:19):
If the if the person who's called in is more
career oriented, they should go for the professional one. Yeah,
because obviously somebody who's offered them that job thinks that
they're worthy of that job. Totally if you can step
up and take the job off of But it's somebody who's,
like you said, late twenties and the early thirties, who
wants a bit of a lifestyle as well, then take
(24:41):
a coble, the one that plays a bit more but
has a lifestyle as well.
Speaker 6 (24:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (24:46):
Well it's a funny one, right, Harry, Because just because
you're a little bit old, it doesn't mean you're still
not looking for a little bit of fun in your life, you.
Speaker 8 (24:51):
Know, absolutely not.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah, Hey, thank you so much for the call Harry
that he's got a Stephen on eight hundred the hits
Hi Stephen a game. Many are Yeah, very well, mate,
how are you?
Speaker 3 (25:01):
You're not too bad?
Speaker 1 (25:02):
What do you reckon?
Speaker 3 (25:04):
I honestly reckon the same as what the other person
has said on the phone at your career driven and
that's what you want in life, like, definitely take that option.
But I've done in those high spots before and it
does bring on a lot of streets scenary thing. Yeah,
it was me, I'd take the fun roll, enjoy life
how long you've got and just look it up.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
That's kind of where I reckon. I land as well, Stephen.
I mean if you I feel like, if you don't
immediately jump at the opportunity for professional development, it means
you're not you're not ready for it, or you don't
want it, like you're not hungry for it, and not
everyone is right, Like some people really really seek that
out in life, and others are just quite happy having
(25:45):
a bit of fun in their jobs. And that's there's
nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
No, that's exactly right. So yeah, if it was me,
you know, you've got me a time and life to
look at that more professional.
Speaker 4 (25:54):
Stuff later on.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Just enjoy life then go from me, I reckon, go.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Have some fun and in a bit of money as well.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Yeah, exactly, I love.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
It, Steven, Thank you so much. We've got a chemist
Warehouse prize to hook you up with my friend.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
Awesome.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Thank you very much, Maddie, thank you so much for
giving us a call. I reckon. This is where we've
come to You've got to just decide what stage of
life are you in, and you'll know are you in
the stage where you desperately are seeking some professional development.
If so, take the bigger job. If you actually just
want a bit of fun and you want to just
chill out for a little bit. If you're in that
stage of life, take the fun job with a little
(26:29):
bit more money. There's plenty of time for a bit
more professional career development later on in life. Like I said,
if you've got any dilemmas you want us to weigh
in on, you can always hit us up at the
Hits dot co dot m Z.

There is a theme today. I have mixed it up. Okay,
keeping you on your toes, both of you. So the
theme today is theme tunes two shows.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Oh, so we hear the tune and then we have
to guess which show it comes from.

yell out your name, okay, Tina.
Speaker 4 (28:24):
Okay, okay, just the TV show, not this band, Who's

comes from, Tina? Okay, all right, here we go. Here
is clip number one.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Maddie, Oh, Tina, there was Game of Thrones?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Were you going to guess that?
Speaker 4 (28:51):
Tina, I've never watched that show, but I know that thing.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
Go so I'm the same Tina. I've never seen Game
of Thrones either.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Oh my gosh, you both have to watch it. Okay,
take anything away from this today.
Speaker 1 (29:02):
Okay, you were in there though, Tina, you were in there.

Okay, great, perfect, good promise. All right, here's number two.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
I don't want to wrong.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
That's okay, Tina. Did you say tany to just go
for it? Just stab in the dark.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
It sounds like from like back in the day, like
Dawson's Creek kind of era.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
It's not right though, not Dawson's Creek. Let's deflict to Maddie,
I know what it is.
Speaker 5 (29:39):

so that is to me, Tina. Here's what I'm gonna do,
because I'm feeling really generous today. If you can beat
me in this last question, I'm still going to give
you the prizes.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Okay, Okay, here we go, come Tina, I'm going to
give you a hint. It's it's a it's a newer show,
newer than that seventies show. Okay, it's it's newer. All right,
here we go. Come on, Tina, really, Maddie, you're so
(30:25):
so yes, Tina, what do you think it's?
Speaker 5 (30:28):
That is a yellowstone?
Speaker 1 (30:31):
For no, I know what it is. It's the White Lotus.
You know what, Tina, you know what. I'm not going
to give you the Chemist Weirhouse Prize, but I'm feeling
very generous. I'm still going to put you in the
drawer for our jingle ball competition. Okay, thank you, you're
(30:52):
so well. God, I'm nice. It's so nice.
Speaker 2 (30:57):
It was a great effort from both.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
It was a really nice effort, Tina, but unfortunately I
remained victorious. If you want another shot, we'll play it
again next week. Mary J.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Many and PJ The podcast that the People's Poll, The
People's Poll, everybody comes together, It's the People's Poll.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Yes, every day we come to the table with let's
be honest, often a little trivial topic that we get
you to weigh in on, and we try and determine
the results for the People's Poll. PJ is not here,
but I'll get producer the Serra to weigh in with
her thoughts today because something happened to me that I'm
(31:38):
curious to know what you would have done. So I
was sent out on a mission over the weekend to
get three M hooks. You know the hooks that you
attached to the wall and often they use ye often
they used for hanging photographs or something.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
That, yeah, mirror that kind of stuff.
Speaker 8 (31:54):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
We wanted to use them, very short lived, for something
to do with the wedding. So we just wanted to
hang some things for the wedding that I was at
over the weekend. And I was sent out at very
late notice to go and find some three M hooks.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
So I didn't have long to get them. So I
went to the supermarket that was closest and really the
only one I could go to. No three EM hooks.
No three hooks. So I then went to a dairy
that was nearby, thinking maybe the deiry would have them.
They did not have them either. What they did have,
randomly was those like hooks for curtains.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
Right, like the little kind of circle ones like yeah,
the key one.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Yes, you'd hang above and then you'd loop the curtains
through them.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Yep, yep.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
So they had those, and I thought, well, what is
better here for me to return home empty handed? Because
I haven't managed to get me three emhooks. I don't
have enough time to go to multiple supermarkets or anything,
or do I return home with something that is not
the same? And I completely acknowledged that, but it least
is something similar that maybe we could do something with.
(33:04):
Boy oh boy, I made the wrong call clearly because
I turned home, returned back with the curtain hooks from
the Dairyes, and was absolutely roasted for my decision to
come home with something that wasn't what I was sent
out to get.
Speaker 2 (33:19):
Did you try the curtain hooks once you brought them home,
DoD they at least try to see if they would work.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
No, they didn't know.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
You think they would have worked for what you needed?
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I don't know. I don't know that they would have, Okay,
But I thought it was better to return home with
something than to return home with nothing. So that is
today's people's poll. When you were sent out to get
something specific and you cannot get the thing you were
sent out to get, what is better to return home
with something else that is slightly similar, or to return
(33:51):
home empty handed. You can weigh in on the Hits
Drive on Instagram, Maddy EMPTYJ, Maddy and PJ.
Speaker 6 (34:00):
The podcast that the People's Poll, the People's Poll.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
Everybody comes together, It's the People's Poll. Yes, it's time
for the People's Poll and today. This is a very
simple question. If you were sent out to get something
from the store or from the supermarket and they don't
quite have what you were sent out to get, is
it better to return home with something similar or in
the same slight vein is what you were asked to get?
(34:26):
Or are you better to just return home empty handed?
This was the dile Maria's faced with over the weekend.
What would you do? Producers here?
Speaker 2 (34:33):
H Yeah, I've just had to think about this. I
am someone who kind of needs to check with someone
else for validation what I'm out and about, So I
would need to call and be like, do you think
the curtain hawks would work?
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Yes? Right?
Speaker 2 (34:44):
Do you think?
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (34:45):
But if you were in that situation and it was
a wedding, it was last minute, and you just needed
anything to hold whatever you were using it for up,
I think I would just get something similar.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
So that at least you've at least you've returned with
an option as supposed to no option at all. Right, exactly,
My god, I was roasted for my decision. But anyway,
anyway we asked you, I would say that most people
on the text machine have actually seed the opposite. They've
seed return home empty handed. Wow.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
Okay, well Instagram's a little bit different. So sixty two
percent have agreed with you, just get something similar, yep,
But thirty eight percent would return home empty handed.
Speaker 1 (35:20):
Okay, so I was in the majority. Then, Yeah, I
feel like you've just got to try something right. Like
it's a little bit of a problem solve a situation
I tried to problem solve. Might not have worked, but
at least they came with a solution as opposed to
no solution at all.
Speaker 2 (35:34):
You can tell everyone at the wedding that you were right.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
My handwriting is fine, as we discussed earlier in the show,
and I was right in this situation. So god, I'm
feeling validated validated today. Anyway, if you've got any ideas
for any people pold that you would like us to do,
you can text them through now to four four eight seven.
Many INPJ the podcast see mpj's Science Chat.
Speaker 6 (35:58):
Warning the following content may not be it's scientifically or otherwise.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Yeah, so we decided pretty early on in the show
that PJ and I would get quite easily hooked in
by a headline. We'd see a fascinating headline, often about
something to do with science, you know, the body, space,
all sorts of science y things. It would think, this
sounds fascinating, let's talk about it on the show, and
then we would get immediately lost as we started to
(36:24):
try and explain this. We have to present a little
bit of a disclaimer before we come in here. Pj's
not here tonight. She's a little bit under the weather.
But I still wanted to bring this to the table,
and it's a shame she's not here because I feel
like she would have enjoyed this story. But produce the theory.
You might be able to weigh in. Are you into space.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
A little bit? But I'll try be woo woo for
Pj's sake. If you want me to be, well.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
You can be if you want to. Here's the thing
about space. For me, I'm fascinated by it right every
time I look up in the night sky. I just
I have a a bit of an existential crisis thinking
about how tiny we are and how much is out there.
Do you know that here's one of the most fun
fans about space for me. So some of the stars
(37:05):
that we see, yes, are actually not even there anymore.
They're burning they're burning out, yes, But because that's so
far away from us, we're still still seeing them.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Yeah. It is pretty wild when you think too hard
about it.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
Crazy crazy, and when you think we're tiny within our
own galaxy, but then we're a tiny galaxy within a
bunch of other galaxy. Just yeah, which makes me think,
you know, there is life out there. There is absolutely
life out there. And I think what has happened is
over the years we've thought of aliens as little green
men with googly eyes that come in the UFOs, But
(37:42):
aliens could be anything, just like anything that's living, right right,
So NASA has said that we could find tiny aliens
hidden under Mars's surface. A particular scientist by the name are.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
I'm not going to pronounce the name actually, Okay, so
a scientist said.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
A scientist has said that actually NASA should be looking
underneath the ice exposures on Mars. Mars has been known
for age for some time that it's home to water
like this water, yes on Mars, and so the scientist
(38:28):
has said that underneath the water it has sheets of ice,
and so then underneath the ice they are likely to
find life.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
So who's going there and hacking into the ice to check?
Speaker 1 (38:44):
So they do have rovers on Mars? Oh okay, NASA does.
They haven't sent people to Mars yet, So I guess
a you get a rover that can like burrow into.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
The ice, yeah, like a robot, right.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Yeah, yeah, or you try and send people there. But
the issue is Mars is so far away that if
you send people there, they're probably not coming back.
Speaker 5 (39:08):
No.
Speaker 2 (39:08):
So there's actually a Doctor Who episode about aliens on Mars,
what I mean?
Speaker 1 (39:12):
And always scientifically it could be right yeah, so they
say because there's the water and there's the ice, like
there would be likely to be living things underneath the water,
so full of life like fungi, algae.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
And they would call those aliens or yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:30):
Because it's it's living like an alien doesn't need to
be like a person or a human or anything like that.
It can just be a living organism.
Speaker 2 (39:38):
Still pretty exciting.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
So yes, it might not be the aliens that you're
thinking of in your head, but still we could be
closer to finding alien life forms not too far away
from Earth. How did I do in Science Chat?
Speaker 2 (39:52):
Pretty good? I didn't get too lost.
Speaker 1 (39:54):
Great, That's all we can strive for. Of Maddy and PJ.
