Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Hits Drive with Meddi and PJ thanks to chimis
Weehouse the Real House of Fragrances on that Hello and
welcome to the podcast. Yes, sorry did I put in
the corner? Thank you, miss I forgot to tell you so.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Remember I told you about how I went along to
the Social Tennis Oh Yeah club on the weekend for
the first time. I was terrible at it. Well, the
organizer yesterday sent me a link to a entry form
for a tournament like a competitive tournament that they're running
(00:46):
not and asked me if I wanted to take part
in it.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
No, because the whole idea of the tennis the social
tennis was the social part. As soon as you get
draked into competition made it's not going to be fun
for you anyone around you, I.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Know, but you know me. I can't say no to
a competition, But don't.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
You think like you should finesse the skills before embarking
on the challenge of a competition. I've got three weeks.
It's not long with tennis. I did tennis listens for
years with Jenny Vandenberg. I remember it's Sellyn House go.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
She was the best. So are you telling me are
you telling me I won't be able to get to.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
No three weeks many Sherio, No, I think, go for it,
but I just don't want you to be let down
if you don't do great? Do you know what you mean? Like,
why don't you just sit the bar really low?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Don't have any.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Expectations, especially because you said you wanted to go back
and enjoy it. And I just think if it's like
you sweeped into a competition, that make you excited, nervous, competitive,
stretched out.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Imagine if I won, though, oh come on, come on, focus.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Remember how you felt on the weekend and that wasn't
even a proper competition.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Imagine if I won. I don't know, doesn't I hate
It's totally up to you, okay, but I'll think of
it it.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Just keep it easy, even enjoy easy. I've got to
go by a bottle of wine. I'll talk about this
in the show coming up, because we're staying in a
friend's house and I wanted to get something nice. Do
I get like a red or a white or bubbles?
And how much do I need to spend?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Not a It's like it's summer with her, so I
think a bottle she's rose.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
She's a rosy kind of girl, is she? Yeah, rose
en bubbles, she does love bubbles. Maybe I'll get a
nice bubble that's nice. You can get a decent bubbles
that's not champagne as well.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
No, yeah, yeah, yeah, give a nice bottle bubbles or
something if we thank you like an occasion, you know.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, And let's drink this together.
Except I can't drink it anyway. I'm roading. I've got
a big road trip and then I'm going to see
you guys in Auckland on Friday. Are we going to
do like a little team lunch or something. I think
we should do a team lunch. I think we should
do a little team lunch in fact, and then.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
We're all going to well, I'm going to cold play.
You're going to cold play?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah? So should we like training together?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Are we? God?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Do we can get a bite to eat on the way? Maybe?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Are you going to train back? What are you going
to do to get out? Nah?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Because I lectually live on the I live in the
opposite direction like it would be silly to come back in.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
So that's true.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Coming up in the podcast, though, we talk about when
you do into celebrity, because one of us did that
and it didn't end well. It still hasn't ended well.
We're hoping for a good outcome. Don't go on Instagram
when you've had a bit to drink. Plass always thought
Instagram needs to have like a sobriety test, truly, Like
I feel like any social media you should have to
(04:18):
do a test apart.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Truly, truly class Our boss was wildly humbled by his
two year old and so we wanted to know when
did your kids humble you?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
And Matty took a walk down memory lane and played
some audio from a show I featured on in twenty
seventeen that somehow is making the rounds again on the internet.
It all will make so all will make sense coming
up soon to the podcast, and excitement is building because
(04:50):
Coldplay are in the country gearing up for their first
concert at Eden Park tonight.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I have been talking about this for a while that
I am going on a girls trip with my mum
and we're doing a bit of a roadie up the
country because like the accommodation, we also lift the flights
to the pus and let me tell you, they would
not shape I bet they wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
I bet they were not.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
So we have decided to break it up over two
little trips. So after the show tomorrow night, Mom and
I are gonna drive to just out of Toeport and
we're staying at our friends little Batch because we were
like looking at accommodation and they're like, why don't you
just stay here? We're actually going to be there this weekend.
You can sort of warm up the place for us.
(05:38):
And so I'm gonna go get the key and then
she's just gonna let me know how to get the
hot water on and stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I'm not very good with edmund.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I get ended a bit of paper.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I just get them to do it. Just get them
to do it, step by step, you know, bullet point,
bull bullet point.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Just really full proof. The thing is they're going to
be there a day later. So what can I do
wrong in a short space?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Well, it's you so a lot.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Here's a question for you, midy, And maybe I'm overthinking
this as always, but in this situation, say your friend,
you know, linds a hand like this and they go
above and beyond to let you go and stay at
their place, what do you think is fear payment. Do
you get a little box chock e's Do you just
say I'll get you around next time? Do you leave
(06:25):
a nice bottle of wine?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I think bottle of wine is probably a good idea
if you know that that if you know that's someone
that drinks and that wouldn't mind a bottle of wine,
leaving a bottle of wine behind and a quick little
note saying thank you so much for letting us stay.
I think that's perfect, that's all. I feel like that's enough,
because most people that do do it out of the
goodness of their heart. They're not looking for anything. But
there is also something very nice about that acknowledgment, like
(06:50):
I see you, I thank you, here's a bottle of rose.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Okay, So don't make it weird and ask for like
bank details, no, no, no neglect, Just.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Get the line, leave it behind and let it be.
Oh my gosh, you're gonna make it weird. You're gonna
make it.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Mady J, Mady and PJ the podcast that So.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Here's a little peek behind the radio curtain for you.
We get emails from time to time from publicists or
PR companies saying, how would you guys feel about an
interview with so and so. You know, they're promoting this,
they're doing this, they're in the country, you know, for
a show, for a concert, whatever. And we got an
email recently that produces here brought to the table and said,
(07:40):
do you know the Australian boxer Harry garr Side. No,
you have not, And I said, oh my god, yes
I know this guy. He's so good. He's like, he's amazing,
He's he competed at the Olympics. He's just such a
great boxer.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
But when you say, no, this guy, have you ever
met him?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
No, I don't never met him, right, okay, And look,
I'm gonna lay it all on the table. I don't
know him for his boxer.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Right, okay, quite gentle on the eyes.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
He's look esthetically he's pleasing. But also but also you
may remember Pge I brought something to the table months
ago because he's actually really inspirational. He talks a lot
about like living in your own truth. And he went
for a period this amazing like very masculine boxer wearing
(08:41):
dresses because he wanted to kind of like not conform
to gender stereotypes of finals and defy the norms and
so he's really inspirational and so as well as you
know enjoying his Instagram posts from time to time, I
do actually find him very interesting as a person, as
a character. So we got into offered this interview with
(09:02):
Harry Garson.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
My god, he's stuttering, he's freaking out. Look at you,
You're a bumbling mess.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
We were arming an r and do we get him
on because you know he's Australian and would our audience
know him, and blah blah blah. So we hadn't really
landed on a decision yet. And then on Saturday, you know,
I went to my friend's thirtieth Oh I know, I had,
I had a cup leeve, I enjoyed. I enjoyed one
(09:29):
or two venos at the thirtieth. And then I woke
up the next day to realize that I had sent
Harry Garside.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Two messages, so he'd replied, and then you see him
to follow up No.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
No, no, no, two back to back into messages in
which Harry Garside had not replied to either of them.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Did he see them?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
He saw them?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Ah, So it literally said saying undern age and then
did you get a reply?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I have not had a reply from Harry Garside. Now
I will preface this by saying they weren't terrible. I wasn't.
I didn't say anything terrible.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
You know, did you say, come on?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I've just told him, hey, well, we might be getting
you on our radio show and you see it next week.
And what I was hoping for was I might like
engage in some dialogue and then maybe i'd get a
follow from Harry Garside. He might follow me back on
Instagram because I follow him. None of that happened. He
(10:42):
does not follow me on Instagram. He has seen the messages.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Oh my god, it's so much worse. He's seen it.
If he hadn't, that'd be fine. He's seen them and
he's not responded, So.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Can you go for another follow up? Still? Like a
waving of my y in case you missed the last
What was I thinking? What was I hoping for?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
I was going to take you out of your misery. Okay,
let's open up the phones. I'll wait hundred the hats.
When did you DM a celebrity? Maybe you got to reply,
maybe you didn't. We want to hear the messages that
you thought you could get a response. You can text
four for eight seven. When did you shoot your shot
with a celebrity? Maybe they replied, maybe they didn't come
(11:32):
back and take your cause. Next and I'll reveal to
you who I have slept.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
Mary J, Mady and PJ the podcasts.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
And we are asking the question when did you slide
into a celebrities dms? Did you send them a message,
did they reply or you left on scene like our
dear friend Maddy McClain.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yeah, I slid into the dems of Australian boxer Harry
gar Side over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
And the worst part is it's sort of like when
they're sort of in the realm where they could reply,
like you know how, like there's super super scillybs with it,
so chance that's it.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Jennifer Aniston is not replying or not even noticing my dems.
Harry Garside is not only noticing them, he's choosing not
to respond.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I've got a couple a few years ago. This was
when I was single and I was staying in a
hotel for a few weeks. I'd move to Australia and
I was still trying to find a rental and I
remember John Mayer had done like a live on his Instagram,
and then I sent them a message, thinking that I
had a shot. Oh, John, you won't see this, but
(12:45):
I'm living in a hotel room at the moment, and
your words about the loneliness sang to me. Stay cool dude,
peace sign? Oh and you're hot? What what flavor Kumcher?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Stay cool dude has got to be one of the
most uncool phrases ever uttered.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
The best part is, un like you, he didn't see
the message, So I'm safe to join the show. Sarah
or Sarah? Is it Sarah or Sarah?
Speaker 6 (13:21):
Sarah?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Sarah? Who did you message?
Speaker 6 (13:25):
Okay? So Shelton will write from blind spot. We were
walking home one day on Surguson Street nineteen years ago.
Actually I was flooding in Palmi and we found a
number on the ground and it was Shelton's producer, and
so we thought we'd be cool a message, and we
exchanged a couple of two or three messages back and
forward until we were cold nicely, please do not message anymore.
Speaker 7 (13:49):
And then.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
Ten ten years ago, I don't know how he was asking,
Shelton was asking fans for promo ideas or something like that,
and so I thought I directly missaged him, and we
message back and forth for maybe a double message, a
dozen messages, and then I.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Got the block, Oh, you must have come on a
lot of wrong.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
You and me, Sarah. We don't know how to play
it called we don't know how to play it.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Paisley is joining us? Hi Paisley, Hello, Hello? Hi? Oh
did your message?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Well?
Speaker 8 (14:32):
So, every year my friend Phil and I would go
to Woeman and New Plymouth Yes, And when we'd be
walking home afterwards, everyone would always yell out hey, JJ,
and I would never know what they're talking about, and
it would happen a year after year after year. So
I finally like googled her and then I saw a
(14:54):
photo of her and Flinny and me and Phil. I
finally got you know, that's what they're that's what they
can see. And so I messaged her to tell her, hey, JJ,
you know I'm holding it up here for you a
new pumps. But she never messaged me back.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
You never never, Yeah, you know, keep shooting you show
you might get a one of us two. That's all subjective,
all subjective.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and PJ.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
The podcast that so I've been putting people in the
drawer for this Wicked trip because the Wicked movie comes
out next week, very exciting, very exciting.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Obviously, someone is more excited than many.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Mcglead, I'm so pumped. You caught me earlier, just before
the show, was just deep in a hole of watching
Ariana Grande videos.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
It's all you. It's literally all you're consuming at the moment.
And that's okay, because you know, it's exciting when one
of your favorite movies comes out, so exciting.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
But anyway, obviously, Wicked is an extension of the Wizard
of Oz, the infamous, very very classic film from the
nineteen thirties, and right now you can actually get a
little bit of memorabilia from the Wizard of Oz movie.
The red ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in the
(16:20):
movie are up for auction right now.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I'm so sorry for ruining your teas before when I
guess that's straightaway, see only like notable objects from the
film that I could think of, or maybe like the
broomstick of the Weak.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
Maybe.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
But to be fair, when you think, when you think
memorabilia from the Wizard of Oz, you think the slippers.
The amazing thing is they were actually stolen back in
the day.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
What.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Yeah, so this guy owned the original footwear, then he
loaned them to the Judy Garland Museum in two thousand
and five, and that summer someone smashed through a display
case and stole the slippers, and then the FBI actually
managed to recover them, but only back in twenty eighteen,
missing for years.
Speaker 9 (17:02):
And now does the increase their street price? I reckon
because because it's been such hot property. Yeah, gives them
a story, a bit of omph to them, you know,
so you can actually go online and bid for these
red ruby ruby slippers right now.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
So do we have any idea of what they're gonna
get up to. I don't reckon to get you.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
I don't go I don't think so. I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
These always get ridiculously high. I don't thousands of dollars
people pay.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I reckon more hundreds of thousands for the Yeah, I reckon, we'll.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Keep for your fate. Like what if their size, you
know seven?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I don't think you buy them to weir because you
get them resized, I'd fall, they'd fall apart.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
You'd have to just display them.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Many and the podcasts, Now, how long ago was this
what what year are we talking?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
The year was twenty it don't play this music. The
year was twenty seventeen. I think the year that the
show aired was twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
That we are, of course talking about Pj's infamous appearance
on the TV dating show First Dates New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Now one little episode that I just had a little
feature on.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Okay, yes, although remember when we checked into a hotel
in Rotardeux earlier this year. The receptionist at the hotel
said to you, I know who you are. You're the
girl from First Dates. So it was very memorable for
a lot of people, very memorable, so memorable in fact,
that last night, because it's a global show, First Dates
(18:47):
last night the international First Dates facebook page, they sometimes
will post some of their favorite most iconic dates from
various seasons series. Because you know this first Date UK,
this first Date's Australia, First Dates Ireland, they posted your
date in full.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Yes, I had a few people seen me links going
oh my god, I forgot that you were on this
and then the trauma came back.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
So full disclosure. I didn't watch your date back in
the day. It's okay, but you'd best believe I sat
down and watched all fifteen minutes of it this morning,
and there are some things that you and I need
to talk.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
About, are there?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Like this was years ago before I met my husband.
I was a young, totally different person.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I don't know a lot of the clips I saw
were like, this is quintessential PJ. This is the very
first moment that you appeared on screen on First Dates
New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Are felt, Yeah, I'm gonna hear in my mouth you
hear right now? Yes, No, it's never good thing. No,
that's not how I remember.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
A guy. That is literally the first thing that you
said on your episode, I've got here in my man,
And thus began fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Of pure, pure awkwardness, like this moment, the.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Table's not straight?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Oh are you quite icy? Da?
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Are you actually?
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Yeah? Actually, I'm really odo.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
I have to touch corners following straight up like that's
my ID.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Oh man, well I just need this to sit straight.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
So I was really taken by the fact that this
guy the table wasn't quite straight enough, and he said, yeah,
I just need the table straight, and you jumped at
it and said, oh my god, we've both got OCD.
And you said, I have to touch the corners of
the tables. It's my OCD thing, And he went, oh yeah,
I just wanted the table to be straight. He is
(20:57):
me thinking like wow, soul mates. God was like, I
really just put my cards out on the table you wow. Wow.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I also loved this moment. How did we get on
with the menu questions? First, it's a hawaiianish.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
I've never been on a date when someone that's hair
they called that bad like.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
So mid date, but mid date, the the waiter came
over and gave you a napkin and you started blowing
your nose at the table.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
I remember before the date started, I was like, am
I starting to come down with the cold? And this
was pre COVID, so everything was a little more lax
and and I was like, oh no. And then as
I got in there, it just started running. And I
remember there was like a mountain of tissues beside me
by the end of the show.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
I know, because the poor waiter at the end of
the day had to gone pick them up off the
floor because you left them on the floor. How how
you have managed to beg a husband and have two
children with him, I will never know.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Isn't it a miracle and this is why I will
always be grateful my situation. And when I had that
long distance boyfriend, I held on to him with two
hands from across the Dutch. Oh my god, it's crazy.
Watch that video. I feel so young looking at it.
Then we'll put a clap on our Instagram story. Maybe,
(22:36):
oh so you can taste the awkwardness because I hate
the Internet. It never forgets anything.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Mary J Mary and PJ the podcast head.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
When it comes to pop culture, peage, what would you
say is your like, is your absolute area of expertise?
If you were to take one bit of pop culture
and say this would be the thing that I would
know the most about.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
What would it be. I'm gonna say the thinking of
the ic. Yeah, I think probably the I SA.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Yeah, mine would be friends probably, maybe Survivor I'm a
massive Survivor.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Fan, or just music, like I don't know, general music.
Maybe I don't know. I'm scared of saying something and
then someone will challenge me and I'll fail.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Well, this is the thing because I just saw an
article and there's been a few courses like this over
the years. Remember famously, there was a university that was
offering up a course in Taylor Swift. That's is a
new IVY League university that is offering a course on
Beyonce the Queen Queen Bee. So she's obviously one of
(23:50):
the most influential artists of all time.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
And now there is a course that you can take
at an IVY university, Yale University to be exact, entitled
Beyonce Makes History, Black Radical Tradition, Culture Theory and Politics
through Music. It's only a one credit class, so you're
not gaking a full degree from it, but you can
take the class, get a credit and it's going to
(24:17):
focus on the period from twenty thirteen right through to
Cowboy Carter, the most recent album that she released. And
you can study Beyonce at university.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I mean, university is certainly getting more appelling for you,
making it more palatable me. Hey, darling, you may not
like school, but you can go study Beyonce for a couple.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Of months and it'll make me turn up. So here's
what I'm thinking. I would love for people to take
through four, four eighth to seven. What is the pop
culture thing that you recon You could ace a university
courset and maybe tomorrow on the show. We could get
a few people on and teat them to see how
good they are at their be shualty subjects.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
To the podcast, and we're getting pretty invested in the
Mariah Carey Christmas Game. John and Meghan decided to launch,
and we're on Christmas for everyone because now we're all
so fearful of hearing that opening line ding ding ding ding,
because when you do, when you hear all I Want
(25:24):
for Christmas by Mariah Carey, you're out of the game and.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
It can strike at any time, any time.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Producer Sarah came to the table yesterday and the thing is,
this is an honesty game. You have to be truthful,
no hiding things under the rug. Sarah came to the
table to say, guys, amount.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Yeah, I'll be honest. There was a tiny part of
me that thought, do I need to say anything.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
We've got to be honest, guys, We've got to be honest.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Which brings us to an announcement which was actually made
on the Johnny Bin and Meghan Show this morning. The
latest member of the team to fall victim to the
Mariah Carey Christmas Game.
Speaker 7 (26:11):
PJ, Guys, I can't believe it happened. So early and
I thought, out of all places where I went, this
would be safe. So it's like a local, organic, very
grassroots cafe that usually only plays like the Beatles and
psychedelic music from the eighties and sweet. It's not going
to play any mainstream Christmas rubbish.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Well I'll tell you what. It proved me wrong in
this happy cafe of yours.
Speaker 7 (26:36):
Yep, yep, they've got a record player and they have
bloody Mariah playing on the record records.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
I'll be honest, you can't be mad at that. Like
that's an epic way to go out.
Speaker 7 (26:45):
I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I'm so caught off guard.
Speaker 7 (26:48):
I had my tea pottering, my oat flet white and.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Then Mattie is, how's he doing?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Real talk with us now?
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Because I know he loves Christmas, he loves Mariah.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
How's he told?
Speaker 7 (27:00):
Yeah, I just say watch out because he can't take
a competition lightly, and he's going to take this very seriously.
But it is hard for him because everything he consumes
at this time of year is Christmas. So he's replaced
Mariah for boot I know that much.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
He's definitely going to be a hot contender.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
You say that though, but the two of you, because
now you're out. If I trust you.
Speaker 7 (27:26):
Hand on hard, I will not sabotage. Be more fun
stitching many up.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
I'm okay, excuse me.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
I needed to wrap it up with a funny quip.
I just thought a la la get out play the ads.
You know that it's you and me, baby, through and through,
ride or die. We're in the cigeta except im out,
but I'll support you from behind.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
So here's the thing, because John, O, Ben and Megan
still in the game, you and Sarah. So the entire
hopes and fortunes of our show having any any chance
in this rests on my shoulders.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
No, but look at it like this. So before yesterday,
you know I was looking out for me, Sarah was
looking out for her, You were looking out for you.
Now we are all looking out for you. So we're
going to do our bet to make sure that wherever
you go you're protected and you're safe. Think of us
as your Mariah Carey bodyguards.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Can I get some encouragement on the text machine as well, please,
because this is this is serious now.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I do not like to lose, and we're all in
this together.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
We're all in this together.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
And also I love to know if you who have
recently got out from the Mariah Carey Christmas Game text
through four four.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
Eight many and the podcast.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Maddie, do you have aspirations to live for a really
long time or are you happy to go out you
know early.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
I'm happy to go not too early, but yeah, I
don't know. I don't want to. I don't want to
be old, too old and too to creep it.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Well, you just get too competitive because you're being you
wouldn't be able to be in a hurry, go fast enough,
done it again. I love reading stories about people that
turn a hundred. They clock, you know, one hundred years,
and then they talk about what they reckon has helped
them last so long, and some.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Of them truly have had amazing innings and they're doing
so well.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
It's a beautiful street The Hill dot co dot z
at the moment about a woman called v Cassen who
turn one hundred at the end of October. There's a big,
long story. I won't go into her whole life memoir,
but you can read it online if you want to.
And she's from Hawk's Bay. I scrolled right down because
I was like, surely in here it's going to say
what she puts it down to for living so long,
(29:56):
and she said she's always been busy, and she puts
her age down to an onion and a bottle of
beer every day, as well as having a wonderful family
who look after me and would do anything for me.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
An onion.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Yeah, this was my thought. An onion raw? Or is
she just cooking with an onion and a meal at
least once a day. I would like some clarification around that.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I was really hoping it was just going to be chocolate,
like dark chocolate, red wine.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
We're good to go, but the beer drinkers at home
sweet as I told you, I told you.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
Podcast.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Okay, everyone on your best behavior. Big Boss Mano is
in the studio. Hello, Hello, Hello sir.
Speaker 10 (30:41):
Last time you invited me in here, it was to
try and score free Cordy membership.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
This isn't this, This isn't that, This isn't it.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
We've grown beyond that, Matthew. You should know that we
wanted to We wanted to get you on the studio
because we saw something hilarious on your Instagram story last night.
Your how old are your year olds?
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (31:00):
How old.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Is your up? My two year old son is indeed
two turns three on Friday? Great? Great? And what did
he say to you?
Speaker 10 (31:11):
So we were playing board games together, as we do
sometimes in the morning. He woke up particularly early, and
we were playing a game of Guess who, and it
was like the real old school guess who. Yeah, right,
And suddenly he points at it and goes, Daddy, it's you.
And I was like, what do you mean it's me?
And he goes, Daddy, it's you. And I was like, oh,
this is so interesting how this goes? And he turns
the board around and it was Robert, who has maybe
(31:33):
the baldest hint of all time and is extraordinarily unattractive.
It's he's very much a middle aged character. Yeah, he's
very very middle age. Yeah, we've been We're talking late forties,
early fifties. I'm thirty four.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yeah, I'm looking at the board now. At least it
wasn't Sam. Sam's got like the gray hair, like you know,
the little parts on the side by the ears. It
could have been worse. I mean the characters as well,
with like the thinning here. At least he's gone for
the full boards. Yeah, yeah, no, offense.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
I don't know that no one's ever going to make
you make the comparison between you and Sam though, But.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
It's not the first time that's happened to me.
Speaker 10 (32:12):
Actually, my eldest daughter, Gracie, who's now six and a half,
one day we were at a garden center and you
know how they have like sculptures and stuff outside, heard daddy,
daddy and turned around and she was pointing at a
statue of Buddha.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Oh God, at least enlightenment and very enlightened being you
are Mendo, so take this.
Speaker 10 (32:34):
So the good thing is that anytime you start to
feel mildly good about yourself, your children are just going
to bring back down to all o kids.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
They will do it, do the worst. They will do
absolute damage to your psyche, to your mental health.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Can we just say, you're looking really great at the moment.
Thank you. My husband he's also bald, and he often
thinks he's like Jason Stathan, So just get that big
Jason Stath and the energy and more Jason less. There
is something so humbling about an honest child. They are
(33:08):
so beautifully no filtered, and this evening we wanted to
know it. Eight hundred the Hats. When did you get
humbled by a kid? When did their brutal honesty stop
you in your tracks?
Speaker 5 (33:21):
May J Mady and PJ the podcasts.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
We were talking about our boss Mando, who was humbled
by Toddler when playing a game of guests. So you
know the bald guy. He pointed the bald old man,
going that.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Are yeah, and he's like, he's visibly an older man visibly.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
So look, that's what we love about kids. They're brutally honest,
they have no filter. We wanted to know when did
you get humbled by a child? Mal is joining us
on eight hundred the Hats.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Hi, Mal Goods, Well, what happened to you?
Speaker 7 (34:00):
I was actually the child?
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Oh yeah, So I was four years old and we
had a family movie night and all the family came around,
so there was a decent amount of people, and we
had lots of snacks and my mum was getting into
snacks and then she was like, oh, I need to
stop eating the snacks because I'm gonna get fat. And
then I tuned around and win, but Mom, you are fat.
It was like drinking his beer and he just like.
Speaker 8 (34:24):
Spared it out and was just crying.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
The laughter.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
And I've been trying to make it up to my mum.
It's been twenty years since yea, and I'm still trying
to make it up to her.
Speaker 6 (34:33):
She didn't forgive me for it.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
And so this is obviously you know, every family has
that story that just stays around for it and will
not die. This is obviously one of those stories that
will not die.
Speaker 6 (34:44):
Mound.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
And unfortunately my auntie posted it like on social media,
so it's actually like on the web too, and it's got.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Like thousands of lights, thousands of likes.
Speaker 8 (34:56):
J Yeah, so I can't take it off.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
And you know, yeah, their story is never going to die.
Thank you so much forcalling. Now we're going to saw
you out with a Chimer's Weird House Prize.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Oh maybe I'll give it to my mom.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Yeah yeah, yeah, don't. And more a couple of great
text page I stitched. I was stitched up by my
toddler when we went swimming and she told a lovely
older lady that mummy does wheeze in the pool. The
more I tried to explain myself, the guiltier.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
No no, no, no, shop me no.
Speaker 5 (35:29):
Mary and PJ. Mady and PJ. The Podcast theads, the
pe Pol's Poll, the People's Poll.
Speaker 1 (35:37):
Everybody comes together, it's the pet Pool's Poll. Please do
the People's Pole on the show every day. And if
you ever got any great ideas, what's a relatable topic
you'd like us to tackle? Do you want to know
if you stand out like a sore thumb on a
particular issue, please text through four four eight seven with
any suggestions that you've got for the People's Poll.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
So I've got a friend that I've made this year,
so we're new wish free ends. He actually came to
tennis with me.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
The other day.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Yeah, must be good mates. Yeah, he's much better than
I am. Anyway, we have each other's numbers and so
we've been communicating via text message and then yesterday he
said to me, actually, let's switch this to WhatsApp because
obviously WhatsApp is the more preferred messaging service. And I said, no, no, no, no,
(36:27):
no no no no. Facebook Messenger surely is the most
preferred messenger service. And he said, this is crazy because
he's just come back from living in the UK and
he was there for about.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Six yes, and he's huge and the UK whatsp.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Is massive in the UK, everyone uses WhatsApp.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
I think I am slowly converting to WhatsApp being definitely
a more main source. I think primarily Facebook Messenger still
is my home for mess to jang, but then it's WhatsApp,
and then it probably goes messages like your stock standard
iPhone messages. I don't use that much. Freaks me out.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
It's like a barren land. I like it barely text
anyone beer.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Yeah, isn't that bizarre? Like that is literally what is
for and we hate it. We're like, nah, upgrade.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
I know.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
I think it's because you can do so many new
fangled things so much easier on the other apps, you know,
like on Facebook, Messenger or WhatsApp gifts. Yeah, you do
all that kind of stuff. It's just so much everything's
just at the click of a button.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Curious to hear from a youthful perspective, producer Sarah, who
is on the cusp of being a millennire, What do you?
What is your like you? What do you do?
Speaker 4 (37:46):
I do Facebook mostly, But I find it weird that
you two say that you took on Facebook a lot,
and I've never had a Facebook message from either of you.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
My work conversations are on WhatsApp past like you know
work colleagues.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Oh, I know, but they're no, this is true. I
don't communicate with peage on messenger either. We communicate on
what Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
We're on WhatsApp usually.
Speaker 4 (38:09):
I just wanted to clarify that.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
So that's a weird. I think that's a weird distinction.
Work for some reason has become and then and then
Facebook is for.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Like friend like friend groups. I still text though.
Speaker 4 (38:21):
I love texting. I text everyone at work, my mom like.
Texting is another main.
Speaker 6 (38:27):
Form for me.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
It's been dropped. It's been dropped on the list. I'd
love to know what is the general consensus? You can
text through now? Four four eight seven. All weigh in
on our Instagram page The Hats Drive with Matty and PJ.
What's your main form of communication?
Speaker 5 (38:41):
Many in the podcast that's the Deep Pool's poll, the
people's poll. Everybody comes together, it's the people's poll.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
But we want to know, right now, where do you text?
What's up? Broens? You still up? It's oh, what is
your main form of communication when it comes to messaging?
Speaker 2 (39:03):
Yeah, I had a friend that I was texting with
and he said, let's take this over to WhatsApp, which
is obviously the preferred messaging messaging system, and I said, nah,
it's got to be Facebook Messenger. That is where I
almost exclusively communicate with most of my friends.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
I definitely, yeah, I do, especially with my husband. I'm
definitely on Facebook.
Speaker 5 (39:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
I call people like I feel so rude. I'll be
a few years into a friendship and then I'll realize
I don't have their number because I just don't need it.
Everything is on Facebook, truly. A text is out, text
is so.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
Out so last month.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
It's on the text machine for for eight seven. Facebook Messenger,
text message, text, WhatsApp close second. Big group of my
friends use Telegram, my teens use Snapchat, yet the younger
ones are differently using Snapchat, Snapchat, Snapchat. I use WhatsApp
more because I have lots of family overseas. However I
do prefer Messenger.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
Yeah, I think WhatsApp is very much an overseas thing.
Juliet messaged and said, I'm English, but I live in Masterton.
Every way, a shout out, master out. Everyone uses WhatsApp
in England. It is how I keep in touch with
literally everyone I know.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
I thought people liked it because it was encrypted at
the beginning and it was like, these conversations are secret,
and that's what people liked. It was the allure. But
now they try and say that on Facebook. Yeah, I
don't think that's happening.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
So if we look at the overall result, overwhelmingly, Facebook
Messenger was the winner. Forty six percent of people said
that is their most preferred method of communication, thirty eight
said text, eight percent said WhatsApp, and then another eight
percent said other.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
So they're telegramming and chatting, Instagram, DMS maybe interesting. Well,
don't forget you can't always check. You can't take stuff
on whatsap, can you can?
Speaker 2 (41:01):
You know you can't.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
W No, you should be encouraging be able to tea
I think tips yeah, yeah, and you can always do that.
Four four eight Sile.
Speaker 5 (41:12):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and Pj the podcast The Heads
The Hits Drive with Meddi and PJ thanks to chimis
Weehouse the Real House of Fragrances on that Hello and
welcome to the podcast. Yes, sorry did I put in
the corner? Thank you, miss I forgot to tell you so.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Remember I told you about how I went along to
the Social Tennis Oh Yeah club on the weekend for
the first time. I was terrible at it. Well, the
organizer yesterday sent me a link to a entry form
for a tournament like a competitive tournament that they're running
(00:46):
not and asked me if I wanted to take part
in it.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
No, because the whole idea of the tennis the social
tennis was the social part. As soon as you get
draked into competition made it's not going to be fun
for you anyone around you, I.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Know, but you know me. I can't say no to
a competition, But don't.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
You think like you should finesse the skills before embarking
on the challenge of a competition. I've got three weeks.
It's not long with tennis. I did tennis listens for
years with Jenny Vandenberg. I remember it's Sellyn House go.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
She was the best. So are you telling me are
you telling me I won't be able to get to.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
No three weeks many Sherio, No, I think, go for it,
but I just don't want you to be let down
if you don't do great? Do you know what you mean? Like,
why don't you just sit the bar really low?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Don't have any.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Expectations, especially because you said you wanted to go back
and enjoy it. And I just think if it's like
you sweeped into a competition, that make you excited, nervous, competitive,
stretched out.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Imagine if I won, though, oh come on, come on, focus.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Remember how you felt on the weekend and that wasn't
even a proper competition.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Imagine if I won. I don't know, doesn't I hate
It's totally up to you, okay, but I'll think of
it it.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Just keep it easy, even enjoy easy. I've got to
go by a bottle of wine. I'll talk about this
in the show coming up, because we're staying in a
friend's house and I wanted to get something nice. Do
I get like a red or a white or bubbles?
And how much do I need to spend?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Not a It's like it's summer with her, so I
think a bottle she's rose.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
She's a rosy kind of girl, is she? Yeah, rose
en bubbles, she does love bubbles. Maybe I'll get a
nice bubble that's nice. You can get a decent bubbles
that's not champagne as well.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
No, yeah, yeah, yeah, give a nice bottle bubbles or
something if we thank you like an occasion, you know.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, And let's drink this together.
Except I can't drink it anyway. I'm roading. I've got
a big road trip and then I'm going to see
you guys in Auckland on Friday. Are we going to
do like a little team lunch or something. I think
we should do a team lunch. I think we should
do a little team lunch in fact, and then.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
We're all going to well, I'm going to cold play.
You're going to cold play?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah? So should we like training together?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Are we? God?
Speaker 1 (03:42):
Do we can get a bite to eat on the way? Maybe?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (03:46):
Are you going to train back? What are you going
to do to get out? Nah?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Because I lectually live on the I live in the
opposite direction like it would be silly to come back in.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
So that's true.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Coming up in the podcast, though, we talk about when
you do into celebrity, because one of us did that
and it didn't end well. It still hasn't ended well.
We're hoping for a good outcome. Don't go on Instagram
when you've had a bit to drink. Plass always thought
Instagram needs to have like a sobriety test, truly, Like
I feel like any social media you should have to
(04:18):
do a test apart.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Truly, truly class Our boss was wildly humbled by his
two year old and so we wanted to know when
did your kids humble you?
Speaker 1 (04:28):
And Matty took a walk down memory lane and played
some audio from a show I featured on in twenty
seventeen that somehow is making the rounds again on the internet.
It all will make so all will make sense coming
up soon to the podcast, and excitement is building because
(04:50):
Coldplay are in the country gearing up for their first
concert at Eden Park tonight.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Now.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I have been talking about this for a while that
I am going on a girls trip with my mum
and we're doing a bit of a roadie up the
country because like the accommodation, we also lift the flights
to the pus and let me tell you, they would
not shape I bet they wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
I bet they were not.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
So we have decided to break it up over two
little trips. So after the show tomorrow night, Mom and
I are gonna drive to just out of Toeport and
we're staying at our friends little Batch because we were
like looking at accommodation and they're like, why don't you
just stay here? We're actually going to be there this weekend.
You can sort of warm up the place for us.
(05:38):
And so I'm gonna go get the key and then
she's just gonna let me know how to get the
hot water on and stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I'm not very good with edmund.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
I get ended a bit of paper.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
I just get them to do it. Just get them
to do it, step by step, you know, bullet point,
bull bullet point.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
Just really full proof. The thing is they're going to
be there a day later. So what can I do
wrong in a short space?
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Well, it's you so a lot.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Here's a question for you, midy, And maybe I'm overthinking
this as always, but in this situation, say your friend,
you know, linds a hand like this and they go
above and beyond to let you go and stay at
their place, what do you think is fear payment. Do
you get a little box chock e's Do you just
say I'll get you around next time? Do you leave
(06:25):
a nice bottle of wine?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I think bottle of wine is probably a good idea
if you know that that if you know that's someone
that drinks and that wouldn't mind a bottle of wine,
leaving a bottle of wine behind and a quick little
note saying thank you so much for letting us stay.
I think that's perfect, that's all. I feel like that's enough,
because most people that do do it out of the
goodness of their heart. They're not looking for anything. But
there is also something very nice about that acknowledgment, like
(06:50):
I see you, I thank you, here's a bottle of rose.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Okay, So don't make it weird and ask for like
bank details, no, no, no neglect, Just.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Get the line, leave it behind and let it be.
Oh my gosh, you're gonna make it weird. You're gonna
make it.
Speaker 5 (07:10):
Mady J, Mady and PJ the podcast that So.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Here's a little peek behind the radio curtain for you.
We get emails from time to time from publicists or
PR companies saying, how would you guys feel about an
interview with so and so. You know, they're promoting this,
they're doing this, they're in the country, you know, for
a show, for a concert, whatever. And we got an
email recently that produces here brought to the table and said,
(07:40):
do you know the Australian boxer Harry garr Side. No,
you have not, And I said, oh my god, yes
I know this guy. He's so good. He's like, he's amazing,
He's he competed at the Olympics. He's just such a
great boxer.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
But when you say, no, this guy, have you ever
met him?
Speaker 2 (08:04):
No, I don't never met him, right, okay, And look,
I'm gonna lay it all on the table. I don't
know him for his boxer.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Right, okay, quite gentle on the eyes.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
He's look esthetically he's pleasing. But also but also you
may remember Pge I brought something to the table months
ago because he's actually really inspirational. He talks a lot
about like living in your own truth. And he went
for a period this amazing like very masculine boxer wearing
(08:41):
dresses because he wanted to kind of like not conform
to gender stereotypes of finals and defy the norms and
so he's really inspirational and so as well as you
know enjoying his Instagram posts from time to time, I
do actually find him very interesting as a person, as
a character. So we got into offered this interview with
(09:02):
Harry Garson.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
My god, he's stuttering, he's freaking out. Look at you,
You're a bumbling mess.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
We were arming an r and do we get him
on because you know he's Australian and would our audience
know him, and blah blah blah. So we hadn't really
landed on a decision yet. And then on Saturday, you know,
I went to my friend's thirtieth Oh I know, I had,
I had a cup leeve, I enjoyed. I enjoyed one
(09:29):
or two venos at the thirtieth. And then I woke
up the next day to realize that I had sent
Harry Garside.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Two messages, so he'd replied, and then you see him
to follow up No.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
No, no, no, two back to back into messages in
which Harry Garside had not replied to either of them.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
Did he see them?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
He saw them?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Ah, So it literally said saying undern age and then
did you get a reply?
Speaker 2 (10:09):
I have not had a reply from Harry Garside. Now
I will preface this by saying they weren't terrible. I wasn't.
I didn't say anything terrible.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
You know, did you say, come on?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I've just told him, hey, well, we might be getting
you on our radio show and you see it next week.
And what I was hoping for was I might like
engage in some dialogue and then maybe i'd get a
follow from Harry Garside. He might follow me back on
Instagram because I follow him. None of that happened. He
(10:42):
does not follow me on Instagram. He has seen the messages.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Oh my god, it's so much worse. He's seen it.
If he hadn't, that'd be fine. He's seen them and
he's not responded, So.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
I don't.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Can you go for another follow up? Still? Like a
waving of my y in case you missed the last
What was I thinking? What was I hoping for?
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
I was going to take you out of your misery. Okay,
let's open up the phones. I'll wait hundred the hats.
When did you DM a celebrity? Maybe you got to reply,
maybe you didn't. We want to hear the messages that
you thought you could get a response. You can text
four for eight seven. When did you shoot your shot
with a celebrity? Maybe they replied, maybe they didn't come
(11:32):
back and take your cause. Next and I'll reveal to
you who I have slept.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
Mary J, Mady and PJ the podcasts.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
And we are asking the question when did you slide
into a celebrities dms? Did you send them a message,
did they reply or you left on scene like our
dear friend Maddy McClain.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Yeah, I slid into the dems of Australian boxer Harry
gar Side over the weekend.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
And the worst part is it's sort of like when
they're sort of in the realm where they could reply,
like you know how, like there's super super scillybs with it,
so chance that's it.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Jennifer Aniston is not replying or not even noticing my dems.
Harry Garside is not only noticing them, he's choosing not
to respond.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
I've got a couple a few years ago. This was
when I was single and I was staying in a
hotel for a few weeks. I'd move to Australia and
I was still trying to find a rental and I
remember John Mayer had done like a live on his Instagram,
and then I sent them a message, thinking that I
had a shot. Oh, John, you won't see this, but
(12:45):
I'm living in a hotel room at the moment, and
your words about the loneliness sang to me. Stay cool dude,
peace sign? Oh and you're hot? What what flavor Kumcher?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Stay cool dude has got to be one of the
most uncool phrases ever uttered.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
The best part is, un like you, he didn't see
the message, So I'm safe to join the show. Sarah
or Sarah? Is it Sarah or Sarah?
Speaker 6 (13:21):
Sarah?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Sarah? Who did you message?
Speaker 6 (13:25):
Okay? So Shelton will write from blind spot. We were
walking home one day on Surguson Street nineteen years ago.
Actually I was flooding in Palmi and we found a
number on the ground and it was Shelton's producer, and
so we thought we'd be cool a message, and we
exchanged a couple of two or three messages back and
forward until we were cold nicely, please do not message anymore.
Speaker 7 (13:49):
And then.
Speaker 6 (13:53):
Ten ten years ago, I don't know how he was asking,
Shelton was asking fans for promo ideas or something like that,
and so I thought I directly missaged him, and we
message back and forth for maybe a double message, a
dozen messages, and then I.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Got the block, Oh, you must have come on a
lot of wrong.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
You and me, Sarah. We don't know how to play
it called we don't know how to play it.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Paisley is joining us? Hi Paisley, Hello, Hello? Hi? Oh
did your message?
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Well?
Speaker 8 (14:32):
So, every year my friend Phil and I would go
to Woeman and New Plymouth Yes, And when we'd be
walking home afterwards, everyone would always yell out hey, JJ,
and I would never know what they're talking about, and
it would happen a year after year after year. So
I finally like googled her and then I saw a
(14:54):
photo of her and Flinny and me and Phil. I
finally got you know, that's what they're that's what they
can see. And so I messaged her to tell her, hey, JJ,
you know I'm holding it up here for you a
new pumps. But she never messaged me back.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
You never never, Yeah, you know, keep shooting you show
you might get a one of us two. That's all subjective,
all subjective.
Speaker 5 (15:27):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and PJ.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
The podcast that so I've been putting people in the
drawer for this Wicked trip because the Wicked movie comes
out next week, very exciting, very exciting.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Obviously, someone is more excited than many.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Mcglead, I'm so pumped. You caught me earlier, just before
the show, was just deep in a hole of watching
Ariana Grande videos.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
It's all you. It's literally all you're consuming at the moment.
And that's okay, because you know, it's exciting when one
of your favorite movies comes out, so exciting.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
But anyway, obviously, Wicked is an extension of the Wizard
of Oz, the infamous, very very classic film from the
nineteen thirties, and right now you can actually get a
little bit of memorabilia from the Wizard of Oz movie.
The red ruby slippers worn by Judy Garland in the
(16:20):
movie are up for auction right now.
Speaker 1 (16:22):
I'm so sorry for ruining your teas before when I
guess that's straightaway, see only like notable objects from the
film that I could think of, or maybe like the
broomstick of the Weak.
Speaker 7 (16:32):
Maybe.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
But to be fair, when you think, when you think
memorabilia from the Wizard of Oz, you think the slippers.
The amazing thing is they were actually stolen back in
the day.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
What.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Yeah, so this guy owned the original footwear, then he
loaned them to the Judy Garland Museum in two thousand
and five, and that summer someone smashed through a display
case and stole the slippers, and then the FBI actually
managed to recover them, but only back in twenty eighteen,
missing for years.
Speaker 9 (17:02):
And now does the increase their street price? I reckon
because because it's been such hot property. Yeah, gives them
a story, a bit of omph to them, you know,
so you can actually go online and bid for these
red ruby ruby slippers right now.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
So do we have any idea of what they're gonna
get up to. I don't reckon to get you.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
I don't go I don't think so. I don't think so.
Speaker 1 (17:27):
These always get ridiculously high. I don't thousands of dollars
people pay.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I reckon more hundreds of thousands for the Yeah, I reckon, we'll.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Keep for your fate. Like what if their size, you
know seven?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I don't think you buy them to weir because you
get them resized, I'd fall, they'd fall apart.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
You'd have to just display them.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Many and the podcasts, Now, how long ago was this
what what year are we talking?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
The year was twenty it don't play this music. The
year was twenty seventeen. I think the year that the
show aired was twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
That we are, of course talking about Pj's infamous appearance
on the TV dating show First Dates New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
Now one little episode that I just had a little
feature on.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Okay, yes, although remember when we checked into a hotel
in Rotardeux earlier this year. The receptionist at the hotel
said to you, I know who you are. You're the
girl from First Dates. So it was very memorable for
a lot of people, very memorable, so memorable in fact,
that last night, because it's a global show, First Dates
(18:47):
last night the international First Dates facebook page, they sometimes
will post some of their favorite most iconic dates from
various seasons series. Because you know this first Date UK,
this first Date's Australia, First Dates Ireland, they posted your
date in full.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Yes, I had a few people seen me links going
oh my god, I forgot that you were on this
and then the trauma came back.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
So full disclosure. I didn't watch your date back in
the day. It's okay, but you'd best believe I sat
down and watched all fifteen minutes of it this morning,
and there are some things that you and I need
to talk.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
About, are there?
Speaker 1 (19:28):
Like this was years ago before I met my husband.
I was a young, totally different person.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I don't know a lot of the clips I saw
were like, this is quintessential PJ. This is the very
first moment that you appeared on screen on First Dates
New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Are felt, Yeah, I'm gonna hear in my mouth you
hear right now? Yes, No, it's never good thing. No,
that's not how I remember.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
A guy. That is literally the first thing that you
said on your episode, I've got here in my man,
And thus began fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Of pure, pure awkwardness, like this moment, the.
Speaker 5 (20:19):
Table's not straight?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Oh are you quite icy? Da?
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Are you actually?
Speaker 5 (20:23):
Yeah? Actually, I'm really odo.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
I have to touch corners following straight up like that's
my ID.
Speaker 5 (20:31):
Oh man, well I just need this to sit straight.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
So I was really taken by the fact that this
guy the table wasn't quite straight enough, and he said, yeah,
I just need the table straight, and you jumped at
it and said, oh my god, we've both got OCD.
And you said, I have to touch the corners of
the tables. It's my OCD thing, And he went, oh yeah,
I just wanted the table to be straight. He is
(20:57):
me thinking like wow, soul mates. God was like, I
really just put my cards out on the table you wow. Wow.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I also loved this moment. How did we get on
with the menu questions? First, it's a hawaiianish.
Speaker 5 (21:22):
I've never been on a date when someone that's hair
they called that bad like.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
So mid date, but mid date, the the waiter came
over and gave you a napkin and you started blowing
your nose at the table.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
I remember before the date started, I was like, am
I starting to come down with the cold? And this
was pre COVID, so everything was a little more lax
and and I was like, oh no. And then as
I got in there, it just started running. And I
remember there was like a mountain of tissues beside me
by the end of the show.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
I know, because the poor waiter at the end of
the day had to gone pick them up off the
floor because you left them on the floor. How how
you have managed to beg a husband and have two
children with him, I will never know.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Isn't it a miracle and this is why I will
always be grateful my situation. And when I had that
long distance boyfriend, I held on to him with two
hands from across the Dutch. Oh my god, it's crazy.
Watch that video. I feel so young looking at it.
Then we'll put a clap on our Instagram story. Maybe,
(22:36):
oh so you can taste the awkwardness because I hate
the Internet. It never forgets anything.
Speaker 5 (22:43):
Mary J Mary and PJ the podcast head.
Speaker 2 (22:48):
When it comes to pop culture, peage, what would you
say is your like, is your absolute area of expertise?
If you were to take one bit of pop culture
and say this would be the thing that I would
know the most about.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
What would it be. I'm gonna say the thinking of
the ic. Yeah, I think probably the I SA.
Speaker 2 (23:07):
Yeah, mine would be friends probably, maybe Survivor I'm a
massive Survivor.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Fan, or just music, like I don't know, general music.
Maybe I don't know. I'm scared of saying something and
then someone will challenge me and I'll fail.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Well, this is the thing because I just saw an
article and there's been a few courses like this over
the years. Remember famously, there was a university that was
offering up a course in Taylor Swift. That's is a
new IVY League university that is offering a course on
Beyonce the Queen Queen Bee. So she's obviously one of
(23:50):
the most influential artists of all time.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
And now there is a course that you can take
at an IVY university, Yale University to be exact, entitled
Beyonce Makes History, Black Radical Tradition, Culture Theory and Politics
through Music. It's only a one credit class, so you're
not gaking a full degree from it, but you can
take the class, get a credit and it's going to
(24:17):
focus on the period from twenty thirteen right through to
Cowboy Carter, the most recent album that she released. And
you can study Beyonce at university.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
I mean, university is certainly getting more appelling for you,
making it more palatable me. Hey, darling, you may not
like school, but you can go study Beyonce for a couple.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Of months and it'll make me turn up. So here's
what I'm thinking. I would love for people to take
through four, four eighth to seven. What is the pop
culture thing that you recon You could ace a university
courset and maybe tomorrow on the show. We could get
a few people on and teat them to see how
good they are at their be shualty subjects.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
To the podcast, and we're getting pretty invested in the
Mariah Carey Christmas Game. John and Meghan decided to launch,
and we're on Christmas for everyone because now we're all
so fearful of hearing that opening line ding ding ding ding,
because when you do, when you hear all I Want
(25:24):
for Christmas by Mariah Carey, you're out of the game and.
Speaker 2 (25:28):
It can strike at any time, any time.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
Producer Sarah came to the table yesterday and the thing is,
this is an honesty game. You have to be truthful,
no hiding things under the rug. Sarah came to the
table to say, guys, amount.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Yeah, I'll be honest. There was a tiny part of
me that thought, do I need to say anything.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
We've got to be honest, guys, We've got to be honest.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Which brings us to an announcement which was actually made
on the Johnny Bin and Meghan Show this morning. The
latest member of the team to fall victim to the
Mariah Carey Christmas Game.
Speaker 7 (26:11):
PJ, Guys, I can't believe it happened. So early and
I thought, out of all places where I went, this
would be safe. So it's like a local, organic, very
grassroots cafe that usually only plays like the Beatles and
psychedelic music from the eighties and sweet. It's not going
to play any mainstream Christmas rubbish.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Well I'll tell you what. It proved me wrong in
this happy cafe of yours.
Speaker 7 (26:36):
Yep, yep, they've got a record player and they have
bloody Mariah playing on the record records.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
I'll be honest, you can't be mad at that. Like
that's an epic way to go out.
Speaker 7 (26:45):
I couldn't believe it.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
I'm so caught off guard.
Speaker 7 (26:48):
I had my tea pottering, my oat flet white and.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Then Mattie is, how's he doing?
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Real talk with us now?
Speaker 5 (26:56):
Because I know he loves Christmas, he loves Mariah.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
How's he told?
Speaker 7 (27:00):
Yeah, I just say watch out because he can't take
a competition lightly, and he's going to take this very seriously.
But it is hard for him because everything he consumes
at this time of year is Christmas. So he's replaced
Mariah for boot I know that much.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
He's definitely going to be a hot contender.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
You say that though, but the two of you, because
now you're out. If I trust you.
Speaker 7 (27:26):
Hand on hard, I will not sabotage. Be more fun
stitching many up.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
I'm okay, excuse me.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
I needed to wrap it up with a funny quip.
I just thought a la la get out play the ads.
You know that it's you and me, baby, through and through,
ride or die. We're in the cigeta except im out,
but I'll support you from behind.
Speaker 2 (27:53):
So here's the thing, because John, O, Ben and Megan
still in the game, you and Sarah. So the entire
hopes and fortunes of our show having any any chance
in this rests on my shoulders.
Speaker 1 (28:09):
No, but look at it like this. So before yesterday,
you know I was looking out for me, Sarah was
looking out for her, You were looking out for you.
Now we are all looking out for you. So we're
going to do our bet to make sure that wherever
you go you're protected and you're safe. Think of us
as your Mariah Carey bodyguards.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Can I get some encouragement on the text machine as well, please,
because this is this is serious now.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I do not like to lose, and we're all in
this together.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
We're all in this together.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
And also I love to know if you who have
recently got out from the Mariah Carey Christmas Game text
through four four.
Speaker 5 (28:46):
Eight many and the podcast.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Maddie, do you have aspirations to live for a really
long time or are you happy to go out you
know early.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
I'm happy to go not too early, but yeah, I
don't know. I don't want to. I don't want to
be old, too old and too to creep it.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Well, you just get too competitive because you're being you
wouldn't be able to be in a hurry, go fast enough,
done it again. I love reading stories about people that
turn a hundred. They clock, you know, one hundred years,
and then they talk about what they reckon has helped
them last so long, and some.
Speaker 2 (29:28):
Of them truly have had amazing innings and they're doing
so well.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
It's a beautiful street The Hill dot co dot z
at the moment about a woman called v Cassen who
turn one hundred at the end of October. There's a big,
long story. I won't go into her whole life memoir,
but you can read it online if you want to.
And she's from Hawk's Bay. I scrolled right down because
I was like, surely in here it's going to say
what she puts it down to for living so long,
(29:56):
and she said she's always been busy, and she puts
her age down to an onion and a bottle of
beer every day, as well as having a wonderful family
who look after me and would do anything for me.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
An onion.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Yeah, this was my thought. An onion raw? Or is
she just cooking with an onion and a meal at
least once a day. I would like some clarification around that.
Speaker 5 (30:17):
I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
I was really hoping it was just going to be chocolate,
like dark chocolate, red wine.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
We're good to go, but the beer drinkers at home
sweet as I told you, I told you.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
Podcast.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Okay, everyone on your best behavior. Big Boss Mano is
in the studio. Hello, Hello, Hello sir.
Speaker 10 (30:41):
Last time you invited me in here, it was to
try and score free Cordy membership.
Speaker 2 (30:46):
This isn't this, This isn't that, This isn't it.
Speaker 1 (30:48):
We've grown beyond that, Matthew. You should know that we
wanted to We wanted to get you on the studio
because we saw something hilarious on your Instagram story last night.
Your how old are your year olds?
Speaker 3 (31:00):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (31:00):
How old.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
Is your up? My two year old son is indeed
two turns three on Friday? Great? Great? And what did
he say to you?
Speaker 10 (31:11):
So we were playing board games together, as we do
sometimes in the morning. He woke up particularly early, and
we were playing a game of Guess who, and it
was like the real old school guess who. Yeah, right,
And suddenly he points at it and goes, Daddy, it's you.
And I was like, what do you mean it's me?
And he goes, Daddy, it's you. And I was like, oh,
this is so interesting how this goes? And he turns
the board around and it was Robert, who has maybe
(31:33):
the baldest hint of all time and is extraordinarily unattractive.
It's he's very much a middle aged character. Yeah, he's
very very middle age. Yeah, we've been We're talking late forties,
early fifties. I'm thirty four.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Yeah, I'm looking at the board now. At least it
wasn't Sam. Sam's got like the gray hair, like you know,
the little parts on the side by the ears. It
could have been worse. I mean the characters as well,
with like the thinning here. At least he's gone for
the full boards. Yeah, yeah, no, offense.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
I don't know that no one's ever going to make
you make the comparison between you and Sam though, But.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
It's not the first time that's happened to me.
Speaker 10 (32:12):
Actually, my eldest daughter, Gracie, who's now six and a half,
one day we were at a garden center and you
know how they have like sculptures and stuff outside, heard daddy,
daddy and turned around and she was pointing at a
statue of Buddha.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
Oh God, at least enlightenment and very enlightened being you
are Mendo, so take this.
Speaker 10 (32:34):
So the good thing is that anytime you start to
feel mildly good about yourself, your children are just going
to bring back down to all o kids.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
They will do it, do the worst. They will do
absolute damage to your psyche, to your mental health.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
Can we just say, you're looking really great at the moment.
Thank you. My husband he's also bald, and he often
thinks he's like Jason Stathan, So just get that big
Jason Stath and the energy and more Jason less. There
is something so humbling about an honest child. They are
(33:08):
so beautifully no filtered, and this evening we wanted to
know it. Eight hundred the Hats. When did you get
humbled by a kid? When did their brutal honesty stop
you in your tracks?
Speaker 5 (33:21):
May J Mady and PJ the podcasts.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
We were talking about our boss Mando, who was humbled
by Toddler when playing a game of guests. So you
know the bald guy. He pointed the bald old man,
going that.
Speaker 2 (33:38):
Are yeah, and he's like, he's visibly an older man visibly.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
So look, that's what we love about kids. They're brutally honest,
they have no filter. We wanted to know when did
you get humbled by a child? Mal is joining us
on eight hundred the Hats.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
Hi, Mal Goods, Well, what happened to you?
Speaker 7 (34:00):
I was actually the child?
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Oh yeah, So I was four years old and we
had a family movie night and all the family came around,
so there was a decent amount of people, and we
had lots of snacks and my mum was getting into
snacks and then she was like, oh, I need to
stop eating the snacks because I'm gonna get fat. And
then I tuned around and win, but Mom, you are fat.
It was like drinking his beer and he just like.
Speaker 8 (34:24):
Spared it out and was just crying.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
The laughter.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
And I've been trying to make it up to my mum.
It's been twenty years since yea, and I'm still trying
to make it up to her.
Speaker 6 (34:33):
She didn't forgive me for it.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
And so this is obviously you know, every family has
that story that just stays around for it and will
not die. This is obviously one of those stories that
will not die.
Speaker 6 (34:44):
Mound.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
And unfortunately my auntie posted it like on social media,
so it's actually like on the web too, and it's got.
Speaker 1 (34:51):
Like thousands of lights, thousands of likes.
Speaker 8 (34:56):
J Yeah, so I can't take it off.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
And you know, yeah, their story is never going to die.
Thank you so much forcalling. Now we're going to saw
you out with a Chimer's Weird House Prize.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
Oh maybe I'll give it to my mom.
Speaker 2 (35:10):
Yeah yeah, yeah, don't. And more a couple of great
text page I stitched. I was stitched up by my
toddler when we went swimming and she told a lovely
older lady that mummy does wheeze in the pool. The
more I tried to explain myself, the guiltier.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
No no, no, no, shop me no.

Mary and PJ. Mady and PJ. The Podcast theads, the

Speaker 2 (35:55):
So I've got a friend that I've made this year,
so we're new wish free ends. He actually came to
tennis with me.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
The other day.
Speaker 2 (36:05):
Yeah, must be good mates. Yeah, he's much better than
I am. Anyway, we have each other's numbers and so
we've been communicating via text message and then yesterday he
said to me, actually, let's switch this to WhatsApp because
obviously WhatsApp is the more preferred messaging service. And I said, no, no, no, no,
(36:27):
no no no no. Facebook Messenger surely is the most
preferred messenger service. And he said, this is crazy because
he's just come back from living in the UK and
he was there for about.
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Six yes, and he's huge and the UK whatsp.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Is massive in the UK, everyone uses WhatsApp.
Speaker 1 (36:48):
I think I am slowly converting to WhatsApp being definitely
a more main source. I think primarily Facebook Messenger still
is my home for mess to jang, but then it's WhatsApp,
and then it probably goes messages like your stock standard
iPhone messages. I don't use that much. Freaks me out.
Speaker 2 (37:07):
It's like a barren land. I like it barely text
anyone beer.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Yeah, isn't that bizarre? Like that is literally what is
for and we hate it. We're like, nah, upgrade.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
I know.
Speaker 2 (37:21):
I think it's because you can do so many new
fangled things so much easier on the other apps, you know,
like on Facebook, Messenger or WhatsApp gifts. Yeah, you do
all that kind of stuff. It's just so much everything's
just at the click of a button.
Speaker 1 (37:35):
Curious to hear from a youthful perspective, producer Sarah, who
is on the cusp of being a millennire, What do you?
What is your like you? What do you do?
Speaker 4 (37:46):
I do Facebook mostly, But I find it weird that
you two say that you took on Facebook a lot,
and I've never had a Facebook message from either of you.
Speaker 1 (37:55):
My work conversations are on WhatsApp past like you know
work colleagues.
Speaker 2 (38:00):
Oh, I know, but they're no, this is true. I
don't communicate with peage on messenger either. We communicate on
what Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
We're on WhatsApp usually.
Speaker 4 (38:09):
I just wanted to clarify that.
Speaker 2 (38:11):
So that's a weird. I think that's a weird distinction.
Work for some reason has become and then and then
Facebook is for.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
Like friend like friend groups. I still text though.
Speaker 4 (38:21):
I love texting. I text everyone at work, my mom like.
Texting is another main.
Speaker 6 (38:27):
Form for me.
Speaker 1 (38:28):
It's been dropped. It's been dropped on the list. I'd
love to know what is the general consensus? You can
text through now? Four four eight seven. All weigh in
on our Instagram page The Hats Drive with Matty and PJ.
What's your main form of communication?
Speaker 5 (38:41):
Many in the podcast that's the Deep Pool's poll, the
people's poll. Everybody comes together, it's the people's poll.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
But we want to know, right now, where do you text?
What's up? Broens? You still up? It's oh, what is
your main form of communication when it comes to messaging?
Speaker 2 (39:03):
Yeah, I had a friend that I was texting with
and he said, let's take this over to WhatsApp, which
is obviously the preferred messaging messaging system, and I said, nah,
it's got to be Facebook Messenger. That is where I
almost exclusively communicate with most of my friends.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
I definitely, yeah, I do, especially with my husband. I'm
definitely on Facebook.
Speaker 5 (39:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
I call people like I feel so rude. I'll be
a few years into a friendship and then I'll realize
I don't have their number because I just don't need it.
Everything is on Facebook, truly. A text is out, text
is so.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
Out so last month.
Speaker 1 (39:40):
It's on the text machine for for eight seven. Facebook Messenger,
text message, text, WhatsApp close second. Big group of my
friends use Telegram, my teens use Snapchat, yet the younger
ones are differently using Snapchat, Snapchat, Snapchat. I use WhatsApp
more because I have lots of family overseas. However I
do prefer Messenger.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
Yeah, I think WhatsApp is very much an overseas thing.
Juliet messaged and said, I'm English, but I live in Masterton.
Every way, a shout out, master out. Everyone uses WhatsApp
in England. It is how I keep in touch with
literally everyone I know.
Speaker 1 (40:17):
I thought people liked it because it was encrypted at
the beginning and it was like, these conversations are secret,
and that's what people liked. It was the allure. But
now they try and say that on Facebook. Yeah, I
don't think that's happening.
Speaker 2 (40:30):
So if we look at the overall result, overwhelmingly, Facebook
Messenger was the winner. Forty six percent of people said
that is their most preferred method of communication, thirty eight
said text, eight percent said WhatsApp, and then another eight
percent said other.
Speaker 1 (40:50):
So they're telegramming and chatting, Instagram, DMS maybe interesting. Well,
don't forget you can't always check. You can't take stuff
on whatsap, can you can?
Speaker 2 (41:01):
You know you can't.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
W No, you should be encouraging be able to tea
I think tips yeah, yeah, and you can always do that.
Four four eight Sile.
