The Hits Drive with Mandy and PJ thanks to Chemist
Warehouse the Real House of Fragrances. May J on that
Hi everyone, welcome to the podcast. I got places to go,
places to I got things to do in places to be.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
The fact that you couldn't even get through that means
we do need to keep the short and sweet and
you need to get.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Out of it.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
I lost my brain probably within the first was it
the first or the second hour where I said the time?
Speaker 2 (00:32):
It was the second hour, but I feel like there
were things in the first hour that tripped you up
as well. But the second hour it was four thirty three,
and PJ described the time as two minutes to twenty
five to five, which is one of the most confusing
ways you could tell the time.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
I just thought I was getting repetitive with our host talent,
but oh no, I made it so much more confusing,
and thus wheels fell off from that point on. I'm
about to get it in the car and do a
road trip. We're going to just out of Topol tonight
and then we're gonna make our way to Auckland to
Modrow morning. But we're just you know, we're getting in
(01:13):
We're going no passing around. We're going to start our friends.
Oh shit, I've got to keep them a bottle of wine.
Oh maybe I'll give it to them on the way
back because we're going to see them on we're coming
back through to stay with them.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Get them that.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yeah, yeah, we want to leave minimal footprint behind. We've
got sleeping bag. We're just gonna go and go out.
But she did say careful when you go out the door,
because if you shut up behind you, it will lock.
Oh so you've got to take the cake with you
add all times. So I need to remember that. She
like she literally had to really hammer at home for me.
(01:50):
I thought she was really worried that we were going
to get locked out.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
So I I once got locked in my steelwell at
my apartment block.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Yeah, how long for ages because you can't you couldn't
use the swipe card, Like our swipe card wouldn't let
us out of the steelwell into our level. And he
got locked out there and I had to I think
I was sitting there for like forty five minutes, maybe
an hour.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Yeah, did you have reception?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
I had reception, and I had my Often.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
It's a concrete jungle right and sometimes and steelwells. You
don't totally get reception.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Concrete jungle dreams are.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Me sorry, oh concrete ls j.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Z no, But I had I had reception, thank god.
So I could just scroll mindlessly. But it wasn't just
you and there or no just me, So I just
had to sit there for like an hour waiting.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
If you got stuck in there with a partner? Would
you do it on the steelwell if you were young
and fun?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
I'm not young and fun. I barely do it in
beard let alone and Steelwell.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
You know, crazy situation crazy, Not that I would. I
I'm not saying that I would be there to one
in this situation, you know anyway?
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Cool?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Cool, Well, look, guys, I've got to get on the road,
but I will see you tomorrow. We're gonna go for
a nice little team lunch.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yes, I was gonna say Margarita's again, but you can't.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
Yeah, I don't care. I doing non alcoholic. Should we
do mixkin again? That was quite young. It was after
the producers area here. First of all, I can drink
for two. I can drink your margarine? Did you do
dish last time?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
I had the that's right?
Speaker 1 (03:33):
The first time in my adult life.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I had that's okay, Mexican, we don't have to go there.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
I had the oh yeah, the ships.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
I don't want to whistling, she was whistling.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Sorry, I thought you whistling. My first time ever having
that since I was a kid. After that, Mexican, So.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Okay, So we won't do that again.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
But we could go to that established that area.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Plenty of places that will give us margaies for sure.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
I just need you to know, once capture onto a
thought of food, I have to have it. So let's
come up with that idea together. Great, because well it's
like cling on to the meal that I'm gonna have.
I gotta have it, yes, okay, okay, I wish everything
aside for that meal. All right, guys, well i'll see tomorrow.
Coming up in the podcast, we talk a bars or
(04:20):
something that went down on a Zoom meeting call. Today
we had a massive station meeting and once again one
of the team made a deck of themselves.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
We also talked about what did you accidentally bid on
at like an auction or something like that, and there
were some great calls from that, really really funny calls.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
Plus possibly one of my favorite rounds of are you
were this week when we asked if you're a firefighter?
You can hear that and more coming up in the podcast.
Speaker 4 (04:47):
Enjoy many the podcast.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
Well, another day, another member of the Hits Drive team
making a fool of themselves on a zoom all.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Okay, at least I didn't ask who one of the
colleagues was on the zoom call when this is.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
True, So just a quick little recap. So earlier in
the year, we joined a zoom meeting as a team
while we were in the car, and I said, who
the hell is so and so? And it was actually
a member of our team that I just had his name.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
No, give us, give us name credit, We've already Richard
Allen the credit.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
He deserves a wonderful, wonderful Tatawhaki Drive host Daish Day host.
I just hadn't met him yet, and I was not
on mute, and I thought, the hell is ritch all
Who the hell is Richard Allen? And then today we
had to join another whole Hits team zoom call. And
I'm sitting there and I'm sitting there patiently, and then
(05:51):
I hear the unmistakable sound do you want to do it.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
I came on coughing, and I so they had already
started the meeting. Harriet, who always leads it. She's so wonderful.
She was talking about everything that's still to come for
the year as it comes to a close. And then
I didn't realize that I wasn't on mute, and so
I came on and I've had this horrendous little tickling cough.
It's like a hay fever cough. And I was just
clearing my throat, thinking that I was in the safety
(06:23):
of my own car and that was it, and no
one else because I was literally on the side of
the road and no one else could hear it. But no,
everyone heard it and they were like PJ straight away.
I didn't say anything. I just coughed, and everyone instantly
apparently knew it was me.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
It was so first of all, I think it was
for a few reasons. One, who else is going to
cough on have a coughing fit on a zoom call?
Of course it was you. But two it was really
distinguishable that it was your cough.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
So this is my question, is it just me that
you think because maybe you hear we talk a lot.
I don't know. Have I just got a distinctive voice
or do you think you could actually? But I will
to tell everyone's cough apart that you know, like your
husband Ryan. Do you think you'd know his cough?
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I reckon, I would know his cough. And we were
talking about it earlier. It feels like a cough is
something that you kind of do in your voice. Let
you cough the way that you talk, almost.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Like does it sound like Matt?
Speaker 2 (07:25):
It does sound like you. Yeah, yeah, Producer Siah's nodding
as well. It does sound it's a PJ cough.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Okay, what we're gonna do next because I know that
you guys have been hard at work going around the
office and we have got some of our well known colleagues,
including you and producer Sarah to cough. And I'm gonna
tell you who they are and I'll see if I
can identify well known colleagues by their cough. Do you reckon?
(07:52):
I'll do Okay, I am curious to see.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I reckon. You'll at least get a couple of them, right,
There are a few that are a bit harder, I reckon.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
All right, we'll stick around. We're going to come back
and do the cough test next on.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
The Mary and PJ Mady and Pj the podcast The Hits.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
The conversation has erupted around the office this afternoon. Can
you tell who someone is simply by their cough? So
you're closing your eyes and you hear a cough, do
you reckon? You can tell who that person is. And
the reason this conversation has come up is because we
had a whole Hits zoone meeting today. I came on
(08:33):
thinking I was muted. I wasn't. I went to cough,
and everyone instantly knew that it was me.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
It was you.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
It was you.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
They could totally hear the tone of your voice through
your cough.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
So it begs the question is this is a thing?
Do you think you can distinguish someone simply by the
sound of their cough? So we're going to put it
to the test. Maddie has been hard at work going
around the office collecting coughs.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
I've had to disinfect my phone after.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
That because, yeah, it's about feral.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
There's a lot of people coughing into my phone today.
So I've got six clips here from people within our team. Yeah,
and about and above and above there's a little clue
for you as well. So I've got I've got six coughs,
and I want to see if you can identify them
based on the cough. So cough number one.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
Oh, that's a guy. Can I hear the game? Please?
Speaker 4 (09:29):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Is that you trying to sound manly?
Speaker 6 (09:35):
Not me? Oh?
Speaker 2 (09:36):
No, that is our big boss McClung. Could you not
tell from the sexy tones of his voice that that
was Oh?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
I should have known. I was just thinking. I was
thinking of our boss Mando. This is the boss above him.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
Yeah, okay, okay.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Cough number two, that's producer Cyru.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
As soon as she coughed into my phone, I see
that is such a distinguishable siah. Cough okay, cough number three?
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Is that our boss Harriet?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
No, I'm going to do you one more time?
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Hey, one more yep? Okay, Ashley who does the music
on the station?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Wrong on that lovely sweet Bronte producer Bronte who does
have videos and announces the phones for us.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
It was quite a young cough. She's the youthful one
on the test.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Cough number four, there's you.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Again, trying to in some masculine I really was, Yeah,
you and produces Siah, right, because I spend every single
day with you.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
Yeah, that's interesting. Cough number five.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Okay, that was Boss Mando, correct, Yes, okay, is that it?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
No, there's one more. Let's see if you can nail
it on the last one.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
That was hard. Don't get much of their voice away.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Give it to you one more time, Boss Harry. It
was Larissa, who does her promotions on the station.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
Larissa love you. But that was a very strange cough.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
She got some real husk into that. Yeah, there was
still husking to that cough.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
Well there you go. Okay, So I got like a
what fifty per strike?
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Right, So I reckon. That tells you a couple of
I reckon. That tells you something. The people you spend
the most time with there is something distinguishable in their coughs.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
People who've been just tuning in.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
It'd be like, what the hell are these two absolutely
lost the plot.
Speaker 7 (11:53):
The station is totally sick, Mady, j Addie and Pja,
the podcast, the heads, the Deep Poles Pole, the beat
Pole's Pole.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Everybody comes together, It's the peat Pole's pole.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
The Coldplay buzz is in the air. After the first
show went down last night, I was nervously watching the stories, like,
what is it going to be as good as I've
expected this to be because a few months ago I
was so humped to get tickets from Mom and I
for her birthday and we are embarking on a road
trip tonight to be at the gig tomorrow night. By
(12:30):
all accounts is amazing, and it like it's totally leveled
up from their last gig.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
It looked like something else. Here's something crazy. So I
live about five kilometers away from Eden Park. I was
lying in Beard last night and I could hear the
concert from my house, not even just the din of
a noise. I could specifically hear the songs they were playing.
I was like, oh, let's fix you.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Did you go outside? I could you hear it? Actually
quite clearly from outside? Do you reckon?
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Even inside? And lying in Beard, I could hear it
in my field, like.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
The base beatings crazy. Now I'm not great with stats,
but I'm pretty sure this is the largest sort of
string of gigs to be in Auckland at one time.
Over one hundred and fifty thousand concert goers in Auckland
this week attending the concert. I got there right, didn't I?
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Yeah, crazy. This is the one hundred and seventy second
Last night was one hundred and seventy second show that
Coldplay have put on as part of this tour.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Get the energy to get up again every day. So
the question is, because we were talking about when you
go on a road triple, when you go away on
a trip, when do you pack? Do you pack on
the day or are you organized? And do you do
it the night before? Maddie, what do you doing?
Speaker 2 (13:49):
What do you think?
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Last second?
Speaker 2 (13:52):
Literally last second? I end up often having to chuck
my bag into the car with the zip not even
done up and things building out of there, and Ryan's like,
you are a night mere to travel with.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
See that was the old me. But I think once
you get kids in the mix, you just can't do
that anymore because your kids packing is like priority, you
have to do that. So you just gonna have to
have your group together a little bit more.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Are you trying to claim hard? Are you trying to
claim that you're organizing responsible? Are you really trying to
do that?
Speaker 7 (14:24):
Did I just make you feel inferior, outrageous behaving from now?
Speaker 1 (14:28):
I'll be honest, Sometimes I do do it on the day,
but if I'm getting up really early, if it's like
a really early trip and you've got to get to
the airport, I will do it the night before because
otherwise it's just way too difficult. What is the general
consensus when you're going away on a trip. Do you
pack the same day or for the organized bunnies out there,
are you packing at least a day in advance? Text
your results through to four four eighty seven. It is
(14:50):
the People's Pole.
Speaker 4 (14:54):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and Pj the podcast. That's the
Deep Pool's poll, the peg Pol's poll. Everybody comes together,
It's the pet Pool's poll.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
The atmosphere is building an Augland. It's just so busy
this week, the most people the city has seen in
a long time. And to be honest, so great for
business and Mount Eden and surrounding suburbs because everyone is
going to cold Play this week. They performed last night,
doing Tomorrow night and then Saturday night, and it got
(15:26):
us talking about when you do go away for a trip,
whether you're going on a roadie like I am, or
you're going on a plane, do you pack the day
you leave or are you organized and packed in advance?
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Never organized? Never organized.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Have you ever tried it?
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I have.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Like I say, never, that's not necessarily true. And if
I'm doing like a big international trip and we're flying
out early in the morning, then yeah, I probably will
pack the night before. But if I've got plenty of
time during the day of, why not still the day off.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
Do you find when you go away though, do you
often overpack or undercats over over? Yeah, I'll go away
for three days. The majority of the clothes don't get
yours day.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I'll go over for three days and pack fifteen piers
of underwear. Why, I don't know, It's just a thing
you don't do that I don't pay fifteen No, I mean,
I'm I'm being but I definitely I definitely pack way
more piers of underwear than I need than the amount
of days am going away for.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
I think, particularly when you got on an international trip,
if you're lucky enough to do so, you do panic
and you think, oh my god, I need all of
this and all of that, and then you leave no
space to give yourself a little train and then you're like,
I don't even need that second pair of cargo shorts.
But on the text of Sheep for seven everyone's saying
they're organized and they pack in advance.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
Well, it's a kid.
Speaker 1 (16:51):
Mady's in the minority.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
Yeah, I'm getting used to it now, and that is
the overwhelming majority on our Instagram poll as well, seventy
five percent of people said yeah, I definitely packed.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
The note before there go another day and other people's poll.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Maddy and PJ maryon PJ the Podcast.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
It is the fourteenth of November and Christmas is fast approaching,
which is why John, O, Bin and Meghan have decided
to launch the Mariah Carey Christmas Game. If you don't
know how this works, if you hear the iconic track
All I Want for Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey,
You're simply out of the game. That's it. It is
the last man standing, the last person. Indians as yeah,
(17:36):
Mariah Carey's all I Want for Christmas is You, Then
you're the winner. It is that easy. You're the winner,
that easy.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
And I think that was the point where they said, now,
then we can start playing that song on the station.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
Yes, because you know what I don't know about you, guys.
I'm starting to feel festive and I'm getting ready. I'm
ready to play some Chune, but we can't play until
this game is over, and we revealed in the show.
In the week that I was out, I went into
what I thought was a safe space for me, my
local cafe Organik. You know, pretty hipster. They usually play
(18:09):
music on records. But then bam, Mariah Carey, all I
want for Christmas is Christmas is You got me out
as I was eating my chair pudding. Producer Sarah also
got out as she was innocently scrolling on her phone.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Of course that was the way that you were going
to go out, Sarah.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I know, I should know.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Now.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
You appeared on John A Better Megan's show this morning
because apparently the vibe has turned. There's a bit of
drama that has entered the chat.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
It's become it's become far more competitive than I think
it was ever meant to be, and of course I
have been caught up in the competitive spirit. This is
what happened when I appeared on John O, Ben and
Meghan show this morning. You're the last one standing in
the afternoon.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
It feels like a lot of pressure on my shoulders.
I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 4 (18:57):
It's a scary prospect.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
So you're still in the game.
Speaker 1 (18:59):
You're still in the game one percent.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
I'm still in the game.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
Okay. So well, well that's okay, that's up.
Speaker 1 (19:04):
That's your story that you're sticking with.
Speaker 3 (19:06):
That's the story.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
What do you mean hash has gone in touch with us,
she's been a little tricky.
Speaker 7 (19:11):
Yeah, Now we we promised as a show, we promised
to play nice as as your show, so that we've
had nothing to do with us, have listened.
Speaker 8 (19:18):
So what I did is I created a post and
it had like a thumbnail of just like Maddy and
Pj's face, and then I said something in the capsuin.
I was like, this language is not appropriate, because then
I was like, oh, Maddie, we'll definitely want to because
you're getting frames for something you can't do.
Speaker 4 (19:36):
Okay, Can I just say we have always not.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
This is hey, we have some loyalisteness.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
This is great, outrageous behave Okay, would you like.
Speaker 1 (19:50):
To change your response answer the question?
Speaker 3 (19:53):
No, I am sticking to my response, And a sad
news fetage is that I don't care listening to people's
stories on.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
So you didn't hear never.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Have my my, I never have the sounds tuned up,
so I did not hear you know what I'm calling it.
Speaker 9 (20:11):
Now, I'm out of the game.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
I'm going to go and play Mariah by myself.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
Like you've board and you're like, I don't want.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
To play anymore exactly, And this is why you should
never play a competitive game with me.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Let let this be your lissen listening back to that.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Did you realize sounding on the phone, how seriously you've
all of a sudden started taking this game.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
But this is my problem, and this just happens when
I play a board game with someone. This has happens
when I play cards, I lose my call and then
that I've entered the rabbit hole and I can't get
myself out of the rabbit hole.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
So credit to Tash she was being created.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
No no, no, no no no no no, no, no no, there
is no credit to Tash. Tash is a monster who
has tried to get me out of this game through
nefurious means. I've blocked her on Instagram. That's how furious
I am at Taj. Let this be a listen to
all of you. First of all, never play a competitive
game with me too. If you come for me, I'm
going to bite back. I'm going to bite back.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
I'm so glad I'm out of the game, and I'm
not against you, to be honest, and.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Here I am taking it way too seriously again. You okay,
I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Maddy and Maddy and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 2 (21:35):
It's very easy to get excited and caught up in
the moment, right do you do you remember? We talked
to my friend Chloe who lives in Canada recently. She
went to her like an art auction where they were
live painting these pieces of artwork, and she got so
caught up she bid on two pieces of art.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
And I can imagine there would have been bubbles going around.
That's always an extra data component to a night out.
I don't think the two should mix because you make
decisions that you wouldn't make for the so mind that's true.
Speaker 2 (22:07):
Bubbles plus a competitive spirit, plus an eagerness to just
to shop, and it's a recipe for disaster. So a
brilliant story has come out about Brodie Kane, our good
friends who's been on the show before. We talked to
her about love Brod's and she has her she has
her book that she launched this year called Woman uninterrupted,
(22:30):
and she was seeing like a charity event where there
was a silent auction and people could bid on different things,
and she said, great, well, I'll just put my book
up and people could bid on my book. You know,
Mike might might get a little bit of money for it.
Someone got very excited and pledged two thousand and four
hundred dollars for Brodie's book.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
It's a lot for a book.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
A very very generous amount, but you know, it was
going to charity. So I think Brodie got excited and thought, wow,
this is amazing. Someone bit this much for my book.
She then went and found the bidder to hand over
the book and she signed it and you know, handed
it over and he went, what's this And she went,
this is the book, the book that my book, you know,
(23:12):
the book that you just bid two and a half
thousand dollars on. And he went, what, No, I thought
I was bidding on a trip to Queenstown. And somewhere
along the way there'd been a mix up in the
number the item number on the bidding form, and so
he thought he was bidding on the trip to Queenstown.
(23:33):
She thought he was bidding on her book, and there
was a very very awkward interaction.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
I wish I was a fly on the wall for
that interaction and that very second.
Speaker 2 (23:42):
Unbelievable, Oh my god, unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
I'm sure they were able to reverse it, and he
they didn't actually have to go through with the purchase today.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
They reversed it. The book it did end up selling.
I couldn't tell you though, whether this guy actually did
get his trip to Queens or not.
Speaker 1 (23:58):
But very liquid give them a manager.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Truly very awkward. When you think you're bidding on something
and you've accidentally bid on something else, well.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
I wonder how common it is, because it's so simple
to just click like bidding on trade me and stuff
like that, or even in an auction room putting your
arm up. We were saying, like, it's pretty wild that
that is a legally binding action, right like that, that's
such an official move, putting your arm up. Have you
ever accidentally bid on something or maybe you did it
(24:30):
and you were kind of bluffing and then you thought, oh,
someone else is going to bit higher, and then you
were stuck and you had to come cough up the pavements.
What happened?
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Text for, Well, maybe you just got really caught up
in the moment and you knew what you were doing.
You absolutely were putting your hand up to bid for
this thing, and then you realize, wait, I didn't even
want this in the first place.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
Well, I can't actually help what happened? When did you
get a little excited at the auction and you got
stuck with a pretty high bird? Call us oh Waite
hundred the.
Speaker 4 (25:03):
Head Many in the podcast.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
Ten minutes away from twenty five to five, four.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Two minutes away from twenty five to five. Your inability
to read a clock at the moment is something to behold.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
I just always get to this time of day and
I say it's nearly twenty five two. So I was
mixing it up and I was like, do you say
two minutes away from twenty It's such a convoluted way. God,
if you didn't know the time, you definitely don't know
the time. Anyway, Anyway, we are taking your calls away.
(25:50):
One hundred the Heads. A brilliant story came out this week,
Many do you want to recap?
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Yes, Brodie Kaine, our good friend and now author. She
released a book this year. Was MC a charity event
with a silent auction attached and she put a book
up for auction. Someone bid two and a half, well
nearly two and a half thousand dollars for the book. Unfortunately,
they thought they were bidding on a trip tweins down,
not the book.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
So slightly awkward.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
It begs the question, what did you accidentally bid on
or pay for? Oh wait, one hundred hats is joining us.
Let's what happened with you?
Speaker 9 (26:23):
Well, it wasn't me. It was the son in law
from the UK, and he's a lawyer and anyway, one of.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
His clients was throwing like a charity function to raise
the money, and so he invited some you know, some
of his clients along and he had his best mate
there and there was a lot of alcohol beverages had
dangerous and yes, and anyway, long story short, they.
Speaker 9 (26:47):
Bought a race horse like they lease it apparently. I
don't know how that works, but it was like fifteen
thousand pounds.
Speaker 4 (26:56):
Oh my, I know.
Speaker 1 (27:00):
Could he have thought it?
Speaker 5 (27:02):
Oh yeah, he's a lawyer.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
That's nice.
Speaker 9 (27:07):
Kind of do that walk a shame the next day
to the.
Speaker 8 (27:11):
By the way, Yeah, and you idiot.
Speaker 4 (27:17):
Absolute.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Sammy Joy the hats Hi Sammy, when did you accidentally
bet on something you probably shouldn't have.
Speaker 10 (27:28):
How's it going?
Speaker 5 (27:30):
When I bid it? It was actually a car that
I used to own and I loved it so much
but I had to sell it, didn't really use it
or anything, and I saw it online. I was like,
oh my gosh, I love it back, and I bid
it on it, but it wasn't legal at the time,
and I was like, oh, it's okay, like I probably
won't win the bed, and turns out yeah, I won
the bid, and I actually I actually couldn't. I didn't
(27:53):
have all the money for it, so I had to
get a loan from my best friend for the rest
of it.
Speaker 8 (27:56):
I felt so bad.
Speaker 5 (27:58):
I just thought I would be funny and try and
bet on it, and I won the bit, and I
was like, oh no.
Speaker 8 (28:04):
I was just oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Was it worth it? Like was it worth buying the car?
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Honestly, absolutely not. But I'm trying to convince myself that.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
It was like a story un the history.
Speaker 8 (28:20):
Yeah, exactly right, that's the thing. It was just like
a little bit of sentimental value.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
But I was just like, really, it just sits in
my driveway now, and I feel really bad.
Speaker 2 (28:29):
You're not even driving it.
Speaker 8 (28:33):
It's probably bad.
Speaker 5 (28:34):
I feel so bad for it. I'm like, oh my god,
I bought you and you're just sitting here.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
It's vintage Babes, it's advantage, it's got a big history.
It was totally worth.
Speaker 4 (28:48):
The podcast Are You.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
Buy?
Speaker 4 (28:55):
By Dad?
Speaker 1 (28:56):
That is what we're after this week on are You
It is our stereotype game. If you're a firefighter, give
us a call one hundred hits. You don't actually have
to be. All you have to do is call up
and convince us that you are. And then the aim
of the game is for me and idel worker if
you're lying or not, And basically you just want to
get one up on us, which I think the other
day it was like three out of like we got
(29:16):
absolutely obliterating.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
I don't think we've got a single one right last week.
So we have a series of questions that we're going
to ask you and then we have to figure out
whether we think you're lying or telling the truth.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
All right, First up is Jody, you're a firefighter?
Speaker 9 (29:32):
Hi, Yes, I am.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
Okay, Jody? How many cats have you to save on
the job?
Speaker 9 (29:39):
No, we get the three people into that O.
Speaker 2 (29:42):
The tree people come in for that.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
What you guys don't actually.
Speaker 10 (29:45):
Do, not not where we are.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
Okay, Okay, talk to me myth that's been debunked, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Talk to me about the kind of shift that you do, Jody.
Speaker 9 (29:57):
We do four days on, four days off.
Speaker 6 (30:00):
So just rotation like that.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
It sounds, but just think about what got us in
the previous week, really solid arguments. Like Jody, they sound
really secure in their delivery.
Speaker 2 (30:16):
I think my problem is that I'm an eternal optimist.
I see the good people, and I want to believe
that Joy is telling us the truth.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
I want to believe she is. She was pretty quick
about the cat thing. I reckon, you are a firefighter,
are you?
Speaker 4 (30:33):
No?
Speaker 1 (30:33):
I'm not, Jody.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
D.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
I want to know what Jody is. Joy, Jody, what
is your profession?
Speaker 10 (30:45):
I want the government?
Speaker 1 (30:50):
He works to the government and pulling one over.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Our professional unbelievable. The good lying though it's been tested.
Speaker 1 (31:03):
Oh, people are getting way too good at this. It's
gott a met. Hello, Matt, how are you, hey?
Speaker 10 (31:09):
Team? How are you? I'm good, I'm good.
Speaker 1 (31:11):
Hey, all right, Mandie, what do you got for met?
Speaker 2 (31:13):
Okay, Matt, do you take their uniform home with you?
Speaker 10 (31:23):
No? We don't they get professionally dry cleaned. Give them,
give them the smoke and stuff, so they get professionally
dry clean for us.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
After every job that you go on.
Speaker 10 (31:33):
Not every job, not every job as a really diddy
missy job, but we need to know, like every now
and then they get professionally dry clean. Sometimes we take
our shirts, I'm and iron them. But the actual fire
fighting equipment or the firefighting gear that gets proficionally clean
for us.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Okay, he's I don't know anymore.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
I'm going I'm seeking gissing everything.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
To go into the shirts. I reckon mat, you're a firefighter?
Speaker 10 (32:00):
Are you definitely not a firefighter?
Speaker 2 (32:03):
You?
Speaker 5 (32:08):
What are you?
Speaker 10 (32:10):
What am I? I'm like, Jade, I'm I'm a government.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
We are what.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
Get back to work fixing this bloody country man and
stop lying to us. Stop us.
Speaker 7 (32:24):
Wow, that is a sign of the times that everyone
is playing right now from the government.
Speaker 9 (32:30):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (32:31):
Okay, Andrew, tell us you're not from the government.
Speaker 9 (32:37):
No, I'm not from the government.
Speaker 2 (32:38):
You're a firefighter.
Speaker 9 (32:40):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
Have you ever featured in the calendar? That's my question
for you, Andrew.
Speaker 10 (32:45):
No, I wasn't honest type body to make the calendar.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Okay, look, it doesn't sound like the best line we've
got with you, but I just want to know what
do you shift to do to become a firefighter? Andrew?
What's the training requires?
Speaker 7 (33:01):
So realistically, you just apply online.
Speaker 9 (33:06):
Fill out an application, and go and do a couple
of days at the firestation, mark you. They decide whether.
Speaker 7 (33:13):
Or not you've got it, and if they think they
want you to interview you and then away you go
to Rhodo for twelve weeks and you're on the truck.
Speaker 2 (33:20):
Okay that I was thinking pants on fire until he
seed the twelve weeks because that sounded legit.
Speaker 3 (33:27):
Do you know what?
Speaker 1 (33:28):
I'm going reverse psychology this week. I think the ones
that have been really convincing that and I mean, yeah,
he may have been a bit on the fence, but
I reckon he probably is the most likely out of
all to be a firefighter. Andrew. I reckon, you're a firefighter?
Are you?
Speaker 8 (33:41):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (33:42):
Thank god?
Speaker 2 (33:43):
One out of three abre you restored our faith in humanity, Andrew,
and thank you for your service.
Speaker 4 (33:50):
All good. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
You haven't ever worked for the government, have you?
Speaker 2 (33:58):
God?
Speaker 4 (34:00):
PG the podcast.
Speaker 2 (34:04):
When I spent a lot of time to give the peage.
Speaker 1 (34:07):
Someone say to much a little.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
Too much from time to time, But I don't get
sick of Yeah.
Speaker 1 (34:12):
No, I don't either. We are morphing into the same person,
healthy for either either of us.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
But if I was to say to you, what do
you think dominates like maybe eighty percent of our like chat,
our conversation, what would you say it was about what
would what would.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Be probably hot guys and food? Am I right?
Speaker 2 (34:38):
You're right, You're right, this is about one of those specifically.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Okay, I'm assuming you're not bringing hot guys to the table,
so it's the food.
Speaker 2 (34:49):
So last night we finished our show, and then I
had to do some extra work after the show.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
So I would you going above and beyond doing extra
curricular stuff.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
I'm a company man, throw through peage, and if the
CEO is listening, this is just part of the courses
what I do every day. I'm dedicated to this company,
to this team, to the show. I promise too much
above and beyond, gone above and beyond. So anyway, I
was working late and I was driving home, and I
was so hungry, so hungry. I hadn't I hadn't had
(35:22):
a snack.
Speaker 1 (35:22):
You stay afternoon I was going to say, you did
you did you not take your tupperware filled container of dinner?
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Container didn't come to no. And I didn't have a
snack yesday afternoon either. I've tried to steer clear of
the cookie. I crumbled today, but yesterday I was good
and I didn't have a cookie. So got to after
work and working late. I was hungry. So on the
way home from work, I may have passed through a
little drown through.
Speaker 1 (35:50):
You succumbed, succumbed to the Golden Arches. I know exactly you.
Speaker 2 (35:55):
It actually wasn't the Golden Archers. It was no. Yeah,
there was another one, the Red building. They are looking good.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Yeah, out of context if you just tuned in, Sorry
about that we are talking about.
Speaker 2 (36:20):
So went through the drive through, got home, and then
I still had dinners to eat, so I ate. But
I had, like basically had two meals last night. But
I thought, that's fine. I can like, this is just
my little this is my little trick to myself. No
one needs to know. I can go about my business today.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
So you had to get home and pretend that you
were still hungry. That's the worst, do you know?
Speaker 2 (36:44):
The thing? Though, I was still hungry and I still.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Wait, okay, that's all right, yeah, okay.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Today caught up with the Freme for a coffee and
then they said, can you drop me off like down
the road, so they got into my car. Well, I
didn't really think about the fact that there's evidence left
over because I was very keyful. I threw away the
container that you know, the the evidence, but that bloody
(37:11):
building lingers with the smell, and the smell ended up
giving me away.
Speaker 3 (37:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Yes, if you if you go to that certain establishment,
you certainly need to airate your car for a good
twenty four hours, like really, put the window down, light a.
Speaker 2 (37:31):
Candle or something. So the smell ended up giving me
away and I was caught red handed.
Speaker 1 (37:38):
Literally, at least you didn't smell like this, that would
be a bigger problem.
Speaker 4 (37:47):
May j Many MPG the podcast That's
