the day you were born. I kind of I.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Don't do that, don't.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
It's too It's like too much time is passed for
that to be valid.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
I would I would walk out to him and I'd say, you,
little ship, come here. I'd say I'd get my finger
and I'd say you come here, you come here.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
No, you wouldn't get distract and you'd be like, oh.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
That's actually what would happen, and then you would have
to tell me who it was. And then I'd go,
I do like a bad boy. No, the bastard. The bastard.
He's all good, he's all good.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
But I always get nervous when in the region because
we literally haven't talked.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
It's like I talked to sort of all my exes, but.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Not that one.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
It's kind of come.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
To it came to quite and abrupt and abrupt in
and that's not like me with many people.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I don't have that like with anyone. So it's just
so strange.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
And now years on, I'm like, oh, I just want
to be an adult and be like, yo, sweet airs.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
That would be quite. There's something kind of there would
be something THEOPA ceutic about just putting it to be. Yeah,
we'll not to.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Bed. Yeah, So anyway, lulls because we.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Go out for dinner on Friday night.

You and I found a cute little cocktail bar.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Last time I think we go back to I have
to have a fucking mocktail scroll man.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
We're going like why.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
And I'm happy for you, but I'm kind.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Of we really haven't had much time.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I feel like the days when we could have, we
didn't make the most of it.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
We'd always tired and going.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
To We'd have grand plans for it, though, wouldn't we.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Oh, we had grand plans. Tonight's the night man, make
the most of Wellington.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
And then we just actually and then we look at
each other. But we were always on the same page.
That was the beauty. Yeah, we were. It wasn't It
wasn't like one of us was disappointed in like hankering
for a big night and the other one down. It
was always like we would both look at each other
at the end of the day.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Such long days, we end up being toy.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
That because I try and jam so God, we're too
hard working. We worked too hard.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
We just have to coming up in the podcast today.
Oh we have fun.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Today we talked about when you got told off in
front of the crash mm hmm.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
This was one of my favorite phones we've ever done,
mostly just because of how much people got into it. Yeah,
a woman can. I I'll quickly set it up because
I actually wouldn't mind reading a couple of the texts
that we didn't get to.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yes, please do.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
A woman in the US got arrested for letting a
child do something so low level, like something that we
all all did as kids. I all did as kids,
And so we asked the question. We asked you to
finish the sentence. That's nothing back in my day dot
dot dot, like, what did you do as a kid?
Speaker 2 (04:31):
The text machine has never blown up so much.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Truly, So I'll read you a couple of the texts
that came in that we didn't get time to read out.
Someone said, that's nothing back in my day. I hitchhiked
two pict in from christ Church with my fourteen year
old sister when I was fifteen. My fourteen and fifteen
year olds hitch hiking from christ Church to picked in Jas.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Yeah, times they have a change.
Speaker 3 (04:56):
Tell me about it they really am.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
You're going to read some others or is it?
Speaker 3 (05:02):
I think did I read this one? Back in my day,
me and my sisters were able to buy cigarettes and
my dad without an idea. I think we maybe did read.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Oh we did that one on a but there there's
a lot. You don't want to be risky and read it.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
My my mom and her two siblings, my dad, my
granddad worked for your New Zealand. So did you guys
get cheeck flights? They did? They did as a family.
So my grandparents, my my great grandparents and my mum's
grandparents lived in the UK, and so my grandparents sent
(05:32):
them on a long haul flight to Heathrow, the three
kids by themselves. I think my mum was five five
just chat them on the flight and she'd see you later.
Have fun with your grandparents.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
Back then, truly was survived. Survived. We know too much now.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
I think that's true, you know too much.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Also, group therapy was a daisy. It was a really fun.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
It was really good and do you know what to
us peage? Because we had nothing coming into this intro,
I feel like we gave something.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
I enjoyed the podcast.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
May and May and the podcast The Hat Beach Tuesday
after No she is warm around parts of the country
this afternoon already, I've heard the conversation, Oh.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
No, I'm too hot. You're like, we're never happy.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I like it's cold spring with her, and it's unpredictable
in this rain. We're like, come on, summer. Then summer comes,
we get one nice hot day.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
We're like, it's too much. It's too much.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Somewhere in the middle.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
We are so indecisive about what we need and what
we want.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Are you? Are you a beach guy?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
I feel like you wouldn't like the beach because of
sand getting in places.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Yeah I don't. I don't mind the beach, but it's
not my happy place. Like I don't desperately seek out
the beach.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Is that because you were born in a lake town
lake because it's crisp and it's clear and there's no sharks.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Maybe maybe it was just that I never really grew
up around it, so it just wasn't part of my childhoods.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Yeah, sure enough.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Plus I get a little I do get a little bored.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Hey, look h to their own.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I do hear you had a bit of a sweaty
mess before the show today, a sweety, flustered mess that
we need to address coming up next on the show.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Gross, like a gross, sweaty mess in a place that
you don't want to get sweaty, wasn't they There's something
wrong the environment you don't want to get sweaty. Many
in the podcast, how's your Christmas shopping going? Ah, because
(07:49):
you were meant to do it on the weekend. You
didn't get it done? Then, No, I wasn't meant to.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
I was having a peruse through the malls as I
utilized the shops in the city.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I didn't have any.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
But this weekend we are in Hawk's Bay.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
We know what's going to happen. It's not the cute
for itself like that.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Hey, today before work, I went and got my hair cut.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
And can I say it looks phenomenal?
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Thank you. I mean, there's not much you can do
with my hair.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Yeah, but it looks crisp.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
You look sharp, thank you.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
You look ready for the festive season.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I feel it. I feel it. But I've talked on
the show before about the fact that a few months
ago I cheated on my long time barber and I Win.
I Win saw this new guy and it was meant
to just be. It was meant to just be a
one off, just a fling, a fling, a one time thing.
And then I was meant to go back to the
(08:49):
man that I've known and loved for a very long time.
Well I didn't go back to the man.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Noticed the fling was too good.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Well, the fling was good. But also what I forgot
was that every time I used to go to my
original barber, I would then just automatically book for the
next time yes, and I would be in the diary.
Then I'd be able to get my hair cut. So
after I went and cheated on him the last the
first time, I forgot to then rebook with my original barber.
(09:17):
And then it got time, that got to the week
where I really needed to get my hair cut, and
of course my original barber full up couldn't get in.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Of course, that busy guy, he's at.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Demand, and I had to go for you though, had
to go back to the fling. So the fling then
has now become semi regular, and the same thing happened again.
I forgot to rebook with the original barber, so this
time again had to go back to the fling. So
the fling is now more long term?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Do you think the fling felt likes to lopy seconds
for a while and he was like, I know that
he wants the other one. He wants the other man,
but I'm all he can get right now.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
So this might play into my question because I've actually
been really in doing the company of the new barber.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
So he's more than just a physical connection.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
He's a good time and we click well, so I think.
But the last couple of times that I've gone, including today,
I've said to him afterwards, because he's kind of newish
to the country, yeah, and so he doesn't know a
lot of people. But I've felt this real connection with him.
We talk about like TV shows. We both like the
(10:30):
same TV shows. You love language, I love language, pop culture,
you know it. And so the last couple of times
I've said, should we get a drink?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
Oh my god, that's so forward to a side I know,
but I'm forward and I've never done that.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
Yeah, but I feel like we've really clicked, really clicked,
And so I thought maybe we could take this outside
of the outside of the barber, outside of the flag mainstream, yes,
and go out in public, be seen out in public. Together.
Now he's always said yeah, yeah, yeah, I'd love that,
(11:09):
and then it's never gone anywhere. And I don't know
what to do about it because I don't know if
he is just being polite or if he actually does
want to take this mainstream with me.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
Oh God, that's so awkward.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
What you need to do is don't make it a
one on one hangar. I think you need to bring
bring him along to maybe likes are you ready for
the flag to be integrated into your life?
Speaker 3 (11:36):
I invite him to the Mclaim family Christmas as well
as you meet him um and dad.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Oh it's a hard one to never get.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
It's a real hard one.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
I think if you really want to catch up and
maybe he's a bit shy, I just say, hey, look
here's well, he's already got your number.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Isn't he. It's complicated. This is what this is why
you don't cheat people. This way, you don't cheat.
Speaker 4 (12:01):
The podcast that.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
It's been a lot of travel lately as the year
wraps up, and on the weekend I was flying regionally
into the Big Smoke, and it's quite exciting flying regionally
because often you get quite a little plane and you
get to walk out onto the tarmac and you get
to go up the little letter.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
It feels very you know, celebrity.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I was like, where is she going through this? But
now I see you're.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Thinking dramatic, dramatic wind in the heir, the sunglasses on,
you feel like, you know, you're a really important person.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
I love it. It's very VIP until you step step
foot on the plane and then you're like, oh no, wait,
this is just very brammed. And it's about sixty other
peoplesive but Pj's walking there with her glasses on, sipping
on the coffee.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Yeah, something happened as we were waiting, and you know
how sometimes like you atually left waiting quite a while
on that letter. In this the breeze is cold and
anyway we were, I don't know whatever reason, there'd been
a bit of a pause, and during that time I
couldn't help but overhear a conversation below me where some
of the workers were having a bit of banter and
(13:13):
it was like, you know, chatting away but getting quite jokey,
and they're having a bit of fun. And you know,
it's always nice to see totally people having fun on
the job, though when it's preparing your plane. I guess
you want to make sure they're focused at the same time,
but you.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
Can also you know, it doesn't have to be super serious.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Yeah, Well, all of a sudden, the mood changed when
one of the other colleagues was like, I'm just going
to make that name to it.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
Marco be quiet like.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
But initially I was like, oh, maybe it was a
bit of a joke, you know, he was just having
a bit of banter, like telling him just shut up.
But the silence was deafening, and you know that this
guy was quite serious, and that would be fine, you know,
telling off another colleague is all good, but there's like
a plane of us standing on the letter awkwardly looking down,
(14:04):
trying not to look.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
You know, when you're a witness.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
You just want to know all of the goths totally.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
So I was just like, oh, this is quite awkward
second hand. And then we were still stuck there.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
For a while, and like you could feel it was palpable,
like they.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Weren't playing around anymore. And this guy definitely told.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Them off, and maybe maybe there's like a technique to that, right,
tell them off in front of other people, because it
really hit time.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
Oh, totally. You know Marcus nos right, Marcus Marcus sitting
down and shutting up.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I really made that name up, so I hope his
name was, and I've just stopped him to the country.
Look this might be niche, but this is where my
brain went when I saw this. Have you ever been
told off publicly? Like, not just by by your boss,
but you've been told off in front of a crowd,
and it just made it ten times more awkward.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (15:00):
Maybe you're at work, maybe you're at school, maybe it
was I don't know. You were out in public and
something happened. What happened when you got off in front
of a crowd? And look, if you're ashamed, that's okay.
You can stay anonymous. Give us a call on eight
hundred the Hits or text through four four eight seven.
We've got some chemistry. Were house prizes to give away?
(15:22):
Prove me wrong that this isn't a niche dop.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Mady and PJ. Mady and PJ the podcast The Heads.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
I did say it was a niche topic, but I
was curious currier us after witnessing a guy I get
told off when we were embarking onto the plane. We
were up on the stairs and one of his colleagues
was like, Marco, be quiet, and it wasn't, and nicely,
I thought it was a joke, but the silence that
(15:54):
followed was deafening, and I was like, oh my god,
this is so awkward because we were all stuck.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
On the stairs witnessing this guy get told off.
Speaker 1 (16:01):
And then the vibe just totally changed, and I was like,
oh man, you must.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Just want to hide in a hole.
Speaker 3 (16:07):
It does appear. I do remember when I was a journalist,
there was a I was in a you're.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Still a journalist, don't you can't you still claim that
you're a journalist? Wants a journalist door is?
Speaker 3 (16:17):
I mean, sure, maybe a low level journalist at this point.
But anyway, back in the day, I was in a
court case and a fellow journalist arrived late into the
courtroom and got a taling off from the judge. And
that is one person in one place you do not
(16:38):
want to be told off. And was everyone like, oh, look,
I was like that, you know that moment in school
where everyone's like oh, It was kind of like that.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
So we wanted to know when did you get told
off in front of a crowd of people. Sarah is
joining us. I know one hundred hats Hi Sarah, Hi.
Speaker 5 (16:58):
How are you going?
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Very well?
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Good? Thank you?
Speaker 2 (17:05):
So what happened to here? How long ago was this?
Speaker 5 (17:08):
I honestly think it was like a couple of years ago.
And it was summer and I was driving in the
car and I was packed. I stopped at some light.
They had my window down and I saw my phone ringing,
and so I just picked it up to see who
was calling. And I was parked next to a bus
and they opened the bus door and yelled out me saying,
get off your phone. And everyone on the bus was
(17:30):
steering at me. And that's light put in turn green
quick enough.
Speaker 3 (17:33):
Oh my god. That as mortifying.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
How old were the people on the bus?
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Was it students?
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Was it teenagers?
Speaker 5 (17:42):
It was just it was a mixed bag. And I,
just to be fair, I probably didn't even look like
I just looking ahead.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
And not acknowledging it right ahead.
Speaker 5 (17:54):
That was mortifying. I've never forgotten it. And every time
I partners to a bus, I go.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
Mady ANDPJ. Mady and PJ the podcast, the heads.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
The People's Pole, the People's Pole, everybody comes together. It's
the People's pole.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
In the meantime, time for some trivial fun with another
people's pole, and there's always it is up on Instagram
page the Hats Drive, where you can weigh in on
our story for today's pole, which is.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Well, I feel like this might be slightly different if
you live outside of the Big Smoke, but I will
still often use Google Maps to get around the city,
even though we still use Google Maps to get right
even if you know where you're going.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
No, no, but like I will still use that to
go to places for the first time audioat totally.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
I'm meaning to places that I know, I know where
it is and I know how to get there. But
I do it in the city because based on traffic,
often there'll be other ways to go to avoid you know,
you just.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Won't do that.
Speaker 3 (19:00):
I do that in the city, and I was doing
it this morning to get somewhere and knew exactly where
I needed to go. And obviously when you map it,
it tells you estimated a rival time, and I thought
I can do better than this. And I'm not saying now,
I'm not saying now, I'm not saying breaking the law.
I'm not saying speeding or anything like that, but I
(19:20):
will always try and beat the estimated arrival time through
smart driving. Smart driving.
Speaker 1 (19:27):
You truly are the most competitive man, I know everything,
competing with a bloody am, I'm competing with myself and
for what for what goods to shave one minute off
and tomated arrival time?
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yeah, I don't think. I don't think I've done that.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
I usually just accept the time and I'm like, sweet Airs,
we're fifteen minutes away and I'll just I'll go on
my merry way. I say that I'm just lackluster and
lack ambition.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
No, it is. You're easy breezy, and I take things
way too seriously. But be honest, it feels good when
you shave a minute off, doesn't it, even if you're
not trying. Even if you're not.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Trying, it's not like life's biggest objective.
Speaker 1 (20:07):
Okay, So the question today is do you find yourself
racing the Google Maps instrumated rival GPS?
Speaker 3 (20:15):
You know, whatever you use, whatever system you use, do
you try and race it to beat the arrival time? Okay?
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Digs through years or no.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
Many in the podcast.
Speaker 3 (20:27):
That the PEP Pool's poll, the People's poll, everybody comes together.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
It's the people's poll.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
I must say you've got a lot of support on
the tex machine for the question today, and the question
is many wants to know. Is he the only one
that likes to have a little competition with his GPS.
When he's heading somewhere and they say astimated tam and
ravel fifteen minutes, He's like, is that I'm going to
see if I can do it in fourteen thirteen thirteen.
Speaker 2 (20:54):
Oh, so we're shaving two minutes.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
You've got to be competitive in this world. Page now.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
We're not encourage legal behavior. We don't want you to break,
you know, go above the speed La Matte.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
But do you have a little competition with the GPS?
Speaker 3 (21:07):
So many people have said yes. Someone said absolutely, and
I usually kick it spart Someone said yes, and I
have the Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift song playing
in my head while I do it.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
Absolutely race Google Maps tells me twenty minutes, I can
easily do that in fifteen challenge except.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
It there were a couple of nos. Someone said no.
In general, I'm so bad. I always miss a turn
and have to go round and around traffic, never arrive
in time, and I'm only in the cargo. There is
no excuse for getting lost, but overwhelmingly people have said, yes,
we absolutely do this. Seventy seven percent of people on
our pole said yeah, I always try and beat Google Maps.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
Okay, you've got some friends.
Speaker 6 (21:50):

Speaker 6 (22:20):
No.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Here is this week's submission. Hay Midimpj. I live in
a flat with three other people and we usually share
basics like milk and bread. But I have one splurge
item I keep for myself, a fancy European butter that
costs way more than the supermarket stuff. I keep it
at the back of the fridge, labeled with my name. Lately,
(22:42):
I've noticed it disappearing way faster than it should. My
flatmate swears they haven't touched it. But I've seen crumbs
in the container and slices missing. I even bought a
decoy tub of regular butter, but they've ignored that and
keep going for my fancy one. Here's the thing. Confronting
them seems petty, but I'm so annoyed. Should I let
(23:06):
it slide because it's just butter? Or is it time
to get serious and put my foot down? I've even
considered booby trapping it somehow. Help me out? What do
I do?
Speaker 1 (23:18):
First of all, not pety, not petty at all. If
there's one thing I can appreciate, it's a good butter.
And you deserve to be able to know that you
can have your butter and it's.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Yours and yours only.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
That's just, that's fine, that's fine to set those boundaries.
Speaker 3 (23:34):
You're regularly across the road of the fancy supermarket buying stuff,
so you know, you know the fancy butter thing.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Okay, fancy butter.
Speaker 1 (23:43):
But what I will say is you should all be
grown adults and they should respect that. And I don't
think it's petty, and I usually reacking. Yes, do a
booby trap catch them out if they're not going to
come to the table, Have they staged a chat yet,
like asking who's taken the butter?
Speaker 3 (24:01):
Yeah, they say, my flatmates swears they haven't touched it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Nah, So you've got to start.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
You've got to be bigger than them, and you've got
to go to a booby trap because it'll be funny.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
It will be for How would you even booby trapper
thing of butter?
Speaker 2 (24:17):
I don't know, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Maybe okay, this is that we will take suggestions. First
of all, what are your thoughts on the situation? Oh wait,
hundred hats, how would you go about a booby trap?
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Maddie? What are your thoughts on the situation?
Speaker 3 (24:29):
I don't know. Part of me goes I get I
do get it when you've bought something for yourself. You know,
if I bought something and someone took the whole thing,
that would really grind my gears.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
You know.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
If I went and if I'd bought like a block
of chocolate or a chocolate bar and it was gone
the whole thing, that would work out a little bit
of butter. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
I don't know that a little bit of expensive butter
goes a long way. Though I'm not saying that I'm
just a little sliver and it's a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
I just don't know that it would bother me that much.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
I just I just said to move.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
On, let it go part of the weeks with it go?
Speaker 6 (25:08):
All right?
Speaker 1 (25:08):
What are your thoughts on buttergate this week for group therapy?
Is this person being petty or do they have a
case on their hands? And do they need to start
getting clever and create booby traps? Maybe you've been in
a similar situation. What do you do when your flatmates
are eating your fancy butter they don't own up to it?
Speaker 6 (25:30):
May and PJ Mady and PJ the podcast The Many
and PJS Group Therapy.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
I love the level of pettiness in this week's group
therapy and don't forget you can get in touch with
the hatstock coda in ze if you want to be.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Part of next week's gript therapy. But to recap this week's.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
I live with in a flat with three other people.
We usually share basics like milk and bread, but I
have one spluage item I keep for myself, a fancy
European butter that costs way more than the super stuff.
I keep it in the back of the fridge clearly
labeled with my name. Lately, I've noticed it disappearing. My
flatmate swears they haven't touched it, but I've seen crumbs
in the container and slices missing. I even bought a
(26:11):
decoy tub of regular butter, but they've ignored that and
keep going for my fancy one. Here's what the thing
confronting them seems petty, but I'm so annoyed. Should I
let it slide because it's just butter? Or is it
time to get serious and put my foot down?
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Someone text and saying puts in it.
Speaker 1 (26:33):
That's a little fun Karen, and christ Church thinks she's
got a good suggestion. Oh eight hundred the hats Hello, Karen, welcome, Hello,
How are you good?
Speaker 3 (26:45):
Karen?
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Are you you reckon?
Speaker 8 (26:49):
It's not petty at all, not at all. But check
them up like by by the budget butter, and they
has that container and then put splash butter in that
we're throwing your name on it, and then and then
watch them like.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
Ha ha ha, that's smart because do you know them all effect?
Speaker 2 (27:07):
They might not even know the difference.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
I wouldn't.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
I honestly don't think they would. I reckon. They just
feel like they want the fancy butter. But actually, if
you came down to it and you're spreading on your
toes with a bit of peanut butter, are.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
You there's great foback? Karen, thank you.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Let's go to Marie. Hi, Marie, Welcome to great therapy.
What are your thoughts?
Speaker 8 (27:29):
Yeah, buy a.
Speaker 5 (27:29):
Mini fridge and put in your bedroom and still missing
moves out?
Speaker 2 (27:35):
Yeah, fair enough.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
I love that. God, there's a lot of Edmond. You're
going to to go and buy yourself a little mini
fridge just for your fancy butter, and then we're heading
into the power and then do you all need.
Speaker 5 (27:45):
I think you've got the many fridge for the future.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
This is true, This is true, But like, do you
start if we're going to get pedantic, does the whole
flight then have to start playing.
Speaker 3 (27:54):
Fame for power running an extra fridge.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Alie's going to Kirsty one hundred the hits. Welcome to
group therapy.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
What are your thoughts?
Speaker 5 (28:04):
Hi, Will I'm petty af I get one of those
lockable fridge boxes and just in there in the fridge.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
Wait, what's a lockable food.
Speaker 8 (28:13):
Little like a little stake? You can get a box
that put stuff on it.
Speaker 9 (28:17):
With a lock or a.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
Yeah, that's brilliant. Is that what you would do? Is
that what you would do?
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (28:28):
Okay, thank god, it's brilliant. So wait, does this just
speak to the pettiness of our audience or is this
is this a universal thing? Do you think because pretty
much everyone is saying not petty at all.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
No, I think it's fair game.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Any of the suggestions we've just listed, go hard.
Speaker 2 (28:44):
You're not being immature.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
It's your butter and yours only, and you deserve the
good premium European may J.
Speaker 4 (28:55):
Mady and the podcast The Heads.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Now, there are so articles that sometimes you're never quite
sure where you stand on this, but I saw one
today where I just thought this is outrageous. I could
not believe it. A mum in the US has been
arrested for letting her son, her ten year old son,
(29:19):
walk from their home not even fifteen hundred meters to
the shops less than one point five k's away. The
shops was what's she been arrested for for? Like reckless
endangerment of a child because she let her ten year
old son walk to the shops.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
So I'm just thinking about my childhood in the wild
days of mythmn mate, we walked all around town and.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
We're about probably five.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Didn't we what the things we did growing up?
Speaker 1 (29:51):
I know, yes, like we probably did need to tighten
things up about sure.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
There's an era of well, yes, you've got to be
sensible and you've got to be safe, and you've got
to make sure that your kids are fine. A few things.
One they live in a very small town, you know,
the kind of small town where things don't happen, things
don't go wrong. And two, it's it's a k and
a half away, a k in a halfway we were
(30:18):
when I was a kid, and I don't want to
you know, this is when you sound old. Right. When
I was a kid, we mum would just let us
go and we would be gone all day.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
One hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Oh my god, I just remember literally running free going
to the park. I told you about when the cops
came on. They had come and look for us. My
friend and I we went a walk about.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
They happened to me, happened to me and my brother
once as well.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Really we were.
Speaker 3 (30:45):
We were on holiday and the Catlands Great Spot and
me and my brother went for a swim and blessed
them like this. Obviously they don't. They did the right thing.
They saw us swimming in the inlet, and then the
person couldn't see us anymore, and they thought something bad
had happened to us, right, so they called the cops,
and the cops came out to find us. But we
(31:05):
were just swimming in the inlet maybe days maybe days,
mayby days and mum and dad, Mum and dad. None
of the way is because they just trusted us to
go off into our own thing, and then we knew
we had to come back at the end of the
day and that was fine. Classic Tracy and Steve, but
classic most parents, right.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Yeah, oh one hundred and yes, like things have changed,
but hindsight it's a beautiful thing. Oh wait, one hundred
the heads back in my day, what did you do
as a kid that now would be totally frowned upon?
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Yeah, I want you to I want you to start
your call with that's nothing, as in this story of
the child walking to the shops at one point five
k's away, that's nothing. We did dot dot dot all.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Right, Oh wait, under the so you can text through
eight seven complete the sentence.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
That's nothing.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
Back in my day we did.
Speaker 4 (31:59):
What Mary j Mary npja'. The podcast thats.
Speaker 2 (32:07):
On this topic has absolutely gone off.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
I can't keep up with the texts text us four
for eight seven. I'll give us a call eight hundred
the hats. We want you to complete the sentence.
Speaker 2 (32:18):
That's nothing.
Speaker 1 (32:19):
Back in my day, we used to dot dot dot.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
This is off the back of a woman in the
US being arrested arrested page because she let her ten
year old son walk fifteen hundred meters to the local shops,
and they said that was reckless endangerment of a child.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
If you read half.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Of these texts, you would understand why we're perplexed at
the headline.
Speaker 3 (32:42):
Listen to this one. There's so many, but this one
just came through on four four eight seven. That's nothing.
In my day, I used to walk to conduct Kindy
on my own with my Kindy fees pinned to my
clothing and a brown wage envelope.
Speaker 1 (32:57):
Sorry, what, oh my god, there's nothing. When I was
a kid, I skateboarded down this real steep hell. Mom
thought I was out for a run, went home crying
with skin knees from falling back in min Me and
my sisters were able to buy Siggi's from my dad
without my.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
D I mean, look, that doesn't this doesn't mean we're
in condoning any of this stuff. But times they have changed,
Times they have changed.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
It's just a reflection of the shift in society. Gina
is joining us a hundred, it's finished the sentence. Ha,
that's nothing back in my day dot dot dot.
Speaker 7 (33:31):
Hah, that's nothing better. In my day we used to
swim and weeteos big wheat silos. That's like you couldn't.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Oh my god, big wheat.
Speaker 7 (33:44):
Silos right, and you would jump from one side and
you'd have to peddle with because you could to the
other side of us would start thinking.
Speaker 6 (33:54):
Anyway, oh my gosh, it's just the sign.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
Of the times, the times side of the times.
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Kim is joining us the hurts.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
What were you doing, ma, can you die?
Speaker 2 (34:04):

shop is your less grip that you need to and
don't forget my smoke.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
We were in.
Speaker 10 (34:20):
Big trouble, but you know she wasn't too worried about
the change. Not always did she get a.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Back Kim, how how old were you at the time?
Speaker 11 (34:29):
Living?
Speaker 3 (34:29):
Yeah, yeah, I get it. Name one of the name
one of the think he's joining us.
Speaker 2 (34:39):
I handed the hurts high.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
I mean, can you compleat the sentence for us?
Speaker 9 (34:44):
Yeah. We used to get on the school bus that
used to take us about twenty minutes, but we'd hide
at the back was driving and or we were this.
He would drive us back to our hometown and then
we'd pop out and say hey you, and then you
drop us off at matop there and then we get
into some other clause and then go to the pub
(35:05):
as half eleven for a cider in black?
Speaker 2 (35:07):
Oh my god, how did I ask how old you were?
Speaker 10 (35:14):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
I'm gonna ask that question.
Speaker 9 (35:17):
There was a mix of fourteen and fifteen year olds.
Speaker 2 (35:20):
This is like, Oh my god, I think we're gonna
have to bring this back. There are sirens.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
So many. Well, can I read a couple of extra?
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Yeaks?
Speaker 6 (35:31):
Go on?
Speaker 3 (35:32):
That's one. That's nothing. How about driving your intoxicated father
home at the age of twelve. You can't lose a
license if you don't have one.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Oh my god, I don't know what back of my day.
When I was eleven, I used to cycle to Wellington
and bet with dead with.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
No cycle helmet.
Speaker 3 (35:49):
Oh my god.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Okay, So if you're feeling like a bead a parent today,
I just remember that you're joining your really.
Speaker 4 (35:56):
Really good job many and podcast.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Now.
Speaker 1 (36:03):
Earlier, I was just saying that I've been sucked into
something because the celebrity did it.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
We've talked about this before, like the things you did
someone you looked up to did such.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Your friend famously bought a Red American Express card because
of the Timberland song.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
Yeah. Yeah, she's a sucker for anything.
Speaker 7 (36:19):
Though.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
I do often wonder that though, because you know, like
you see, like Eva Long Gloria will do like an
ad for like nutrient gene or something like that, and
I always go, does singing Eva Long Gloria on an ad?
Is that what makes you go, I'm going to buy
that product? I don't know, is it?
Speaker 1 (36:38):
I just think, you know, they have so much money
and they do so many treatments, So is it really
the cream that's doing the wonders?
Speaker 2 (36:45):
The other stuff?
Speaker 1 (36:46):
I saw a video of Matthew McConaughey talking about and
I love Matthew mcconneey alright, a rat, and he was
talking about what he makes on Sunday nights and his
family household.
Speaker 11 (37:02):
I'm a tuna fish out master maker. Every Sunday night,
clean out the fridge, gotta make a bat tuna fish.
Speaker 3 (37:06):
It starts with the base.
Speaker 11 (37:07):
You gets you good, gets you good tuna. Next, you
gotta watch how much lemon and vinegar you add, because
what you if you add the mayo mixed with withsaby,
well the rest of the stuff from the chopped red
onions or the deal pickle cirk and I'll finally taste
the deal pickled yerkins, crispy alapena chips. Give a little
crunch at the end to balance that out, I'll go
with some apple for some sweetness, a touch of a gobby.
Speaker 4 (37:28):
I always have corn in there. I always got corn
really oh yeah, and ant the.
Speaker 11 (37:31):
End, I'll go some frozen green peans.
Speaker 1 (37:34):
I saw this on my Facebook on like Sunday, and
I was like, oh my god, it looks so good.
Speaker 2 (37:41):
I've got to recreate it.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
Obviously not too much training because I'm pregnant, but I
was like, I gotta try this, So I literally recreated
it without some of the ingredients.
Speaker 2 (37:50):
I'm a Hawks man.
Speaker 3 (37:51):
It is really good.
Speaker 2 (37:53):
It's quite good. It's easy.
Speaker 3 (37:56):
Is it the salad though, or is it the fact
that it was Matthew mcconaugh It's totally Matthew McConaughey.
Speaker 1 (38:02):
But the thing is it's the most offensive thing to
bring into work because it's just this pongy tuna salad.
And do you know what, I always o d on
the mayo, so it's like pretty much like a mayo
tuna soup.
Speaker 3 (38:15):
Okay, this makes so much sense because you are one
of these people that whenever you're typing something into your
phone or your computer, you have to say out loud
what it is that you're typing. And I heard you
earlier today going how much tuna can a pregnant woman?
Now it makes sense.
Speaker 2 (38:32):
I seek now.
Speaker 4 (38:36):
The podcast
Speaker 7 (38:39):
That
