Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Hits Drive with Meddy and Paj thanks to chimis
Weehouse the Real House of Fragrances and on the Hi
and Welcome to the podcast. You're joined by PJ Harding
and Maddie maclain.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Oh that was a very formal intro.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Yeah, it didn't sound right, did it.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
It sounded I mean it sounded right. It sounded right,
as in, there was nothing technically wrong with it.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Yeah, but usually this is just like casual banter where
you talk shit, you.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Know, Yeah, usually our podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
I actually can't get that image out of my hud.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Are you going to Google? Google?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
No, I can't. I cannot.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Well, I don't know that there will be because he
did do a full frontal movie, but they remember the
whole story was that they had to use a dick
double because it was so big. Imagine that being your problem.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
It could be No, actually can be I know it
can be a problem. Oh it would be absolutely no. No,
I don't know, but like no, I know it fixtand
but I just know it could actually be quite intimidating.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Definitely, Yeah, definitely, ways though for sure.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Anyway, what's going on in your life?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Imagine though, if you were the guy where they were like,
hey would love for you to be a part of
this movie. And you're going, oh my god, amazing, and
then they go, yeah, we want you to be Willem
Dafoe's dicked up penis stunk and you go okay, and
they go yeah, because he's too big, so we need
something like significantly smaller.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
So would the stunt double have to look like Willem Dafoe.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
No, because I think that just it was just a below,
just below part of the matter. It could be anyone,
but imagine being asked to do it because specifically because
your penis is significantly smaller than Willem Dafoe. Oh cool, thanks.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Sweet, that's one way to humble me for a Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Oh well, how is you? How is your birthday curry?
Last night?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
It was good look to be honest, I did get
a Lamb Cormer and they made it a bit sweet.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
No, you can't do that.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
You can't do that, so that's all right, but no,
I had a nice experience with the curry. It was
a good call, but I didn't actually end up eating
that much, and I left hates for leftovers and I
didn't eat it for lunch and I think my husband
honed it, so I don't know how much has left,
but I would would love, like it's a little bit.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
When I get home, you reckon, it'll be there. What's
the likelihood? I know? With Ryan, my husband, if I
leave stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
He's got, he's like a waste disposal.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
They've got no like they've got no thought or not
like that, no care for anyone else.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Sometimes you'll get hold traits when it comes to trades,
when it comes to.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
True Sometimes I get home I would have liked some
of that, and he's like, well, what did you expect
it was in the fridge? You could He was like,
it was there earlier, you could have eaten it earlier.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
It's almost like beage gets really competitive and he's worried,
like he has to beat me to us.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah he has to.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah, it's a weird. It's a weird, like silent competitiveness.
I remember he won't beat him.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I remember recently buying a packet of chips and thinking
Ryan and I would have this sheer a lovely packet
of chips together at some point, and I got home
and demolished the entire packet.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Yeah, but I mean half those bags here these days,
aren't they exactly?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
And he's a growing boy, glowing.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I forget he's my age. I always think he's a
bit older, but he's is he younger than me.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
He's younger than you. Thirty two, he's thirty two year
he's about to turn thirty three in a couple of months.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Oh my god, sign you need to get out of here,
and you and I have got a beg night ahead
of us.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
To my big day tomorrow. Yeah, she's got to be
a big one.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
We're hosting an Alpha Quiz live, so.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Apparently it's so loud although we sit in the show
it's but then we realized, actually it is.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That's cold, So you need to get home, yeah, and
drive safe tomorrow. Yes, so well, I'm looking well, I'm
looking forward to giving you a little squeeze in person.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I know, when did I last see you? When did
I last see you? Oh my god?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Hang on?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Was it? Was it?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
It's really ravening check for anyone.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
But was it the last time or was it the
last time I came to Wellington and we did Alpha Quits.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Live That was a long time ago. No, No, oh
my god, this is going to really annoy me.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Or yeah, field days, field days for dinner.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Okay, but that was ages ago.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
That was ages ago, So much can happen in that time.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah, let's get together.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah, let's get together right now. No, that's the wrong words. Okay,
it's time to get out guys. Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
We actually had quite a fun show.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
We inspired by a story about how workplaces are using
AI to just do quick scans of potential employees. We
got AI to GroEL us to absolutely roast our social
media pages and it did not hold back.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Brutal. Also, I was late to something with my husband
and I needed to ask a question to see if
I was in the wrong or he was.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
In the wrong.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Plus, we wanted to know when have you been an
extra on a show, an ad, or a movie.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
We took your calls. So all of that and more
coming up on the.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Podcast Many and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
My husband's a real estate agent and so one of
the things he has to do is he it's not
his favorite thing to do, but he does it because
it's part of the job. One of those things that
you just have to do because it's part of your work. Yes,
he has to go and film like a lot of
content videos, you know, with the houses that he's got
for sale.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I've got a few make some real estate and they're
doing the same thing. Yeah, it just feels like it's
part of parcel in the industry. Now, you gotta sell, sell, sell.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
He's actually very good at it. He doesn't which is
maybe the mark of someone who doesn't particularly enjoy doing it.
Is actually they're very good at it. Is maybe the
ones that get a little too cocky and think they're
really good that actually don't nail it something to learn now.
I have seen some terrible real estate videos over the years.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Terrible.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
But anyway, today he just wanted to go and film
a little thing, but people in his office were really busy,
and so he said to me, do you mind coming
and just filming for me this quick little thing. It'll
be really short and sweet before work. And I said,
absolutely happy to do it. And he, much like our
producers here, loves a calendar invite. So I got a
(06:55):
calendar invite for from him.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Why but you guys are in a relationship, can you
just have like a verbal agreement that you're going to
be there at a time. Do they really need to
schedule it up.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
You can, but he likes his day to be kind
of like to be organized, and he likes to know, Okay,
I've got this at this time and this at this time.
So I got a calendar invite for him eleven am
this morning. I needed to be on site to DELILM
this video. Well you know me, Oh.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
My god, let me guess. Okay, so usually at work,
you're about five minutes late. I reckon with your husband,
you'd probably have a bit more leeway push it and
you push it out of it.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
So let's say ten to fifteen late.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
So what happened was, and this is often the case
with me, I just bit off a little bit more
than I could chew this morning. I just there were
too many things that I thought I'll do before work
that just got me behind. Yes, and I was definitely
running late, but I knew that I was going to
be running late. So half an hour before the allotted time,
(07:52):
I sent Ryan a message and I said, I'm not
going to make it. I'm just letting you know. But
he didn't the message. Oh no, And so Ryan is
I was running. I was going to be running. I said,
I'm going to be running fifteen minutes late, so can
we push the eleven to eleven fifteen?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Ryan is always very early to everything, so he was
already running ten minutes early to this appointment, and I
was running fifteen minutes late. So that was a twenty
five minute window on which he was sitting in the car.
Now here's my question. Because I gave him the heads
up and told him I was going to be late
with enough time for him to not get there, but
(08:34):
he didn't see the message.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Yeah, so that's on him.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
So this is my etiquette question. Is it on the
person who is going to be late to ensure that
the message makes it to the person or is it
okay just to send one message and let it be
that person's responsibility as to whether they see the message
or not.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Oh no, I see No, I no know what I
would do if I didn't hear I'd be like, oh,
I'll just call.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I would definitely call.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
But I was running around like a hitless chicken, trying
to get everything done so I could actually make it
to this thing. And I've seen and I thought I've
seen the message, So I've done my job. I've done
my job.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Okay, So there's one message enough when you don't get
a response back to let the person know that you're
going to be late.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yes, Is that enough?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Or is it on you, the person who's going to
be late, to follow up and.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Ensure that the message gets through.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I feel like many needs some validation.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I do.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Maddy and PJ.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Mady and PJ the podcasts.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
We've got a few prizes to give away, thanks to
those guys right now on the phones. Oh eight hundred
the hats. We're just asking the question. It was many
in the wrong this morning?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I was running late. No, I had organized to meet
my husband at a certain time, and I knew ahead
of time that I was going to be running. Life
happens sometimes you're late. And I sent him a message
more than half an hour before the allotted time that
I was meant to meet him to say I'm going
to be late. Can we push the time to this time?
(10:12):
He didn't see the message, And my question is is
that on me to make sure he sees the message
or is it okay to send a message and then
that's on him not seeing it looking at the.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Text machine, people do think it's on you four ur
eh seven. You can get in touch it's on you
to ensure they get the message. You should ring if
no reply back. Sorry, Mattie. You definitely should have followed
up with a call if you didn't get a reply.
But I also can't see why your hobby didn't see
your message. Well he was waiting for you, that's true,
but you're still definitely more wrong than him, sos Earl.
(10:42):
He's got to Tara joining us. What are your thoughts, Tara?
Speaker 5 (10:46):
I think it's definitely wrong. I was in the same
boat on Monday, being late and a person waited for
thirty minutes because they didn't see my message.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
So you've done this? Did you did the same thing
that I did? I did, and you're not even backing
me up. Tara, And you've done this.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
I felt really bad. I should have followed through.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Yes, I felt bad. I felt bad too, but I
did my job. I sent the message saying I was going.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
To be late next time, we just have to call.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yes, that's true, or just be on time, yeah, or
just be better alive.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
I'll LEAs go to Natasha. Good afternoon, Natasha. What are
your thoughts?
Speaker 6 (11:24):
One hundred percent matter? You needed to phone. You know
that you're in communications and text me. Text messages sometimes
don't keep true. The cell towers it down.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Cell towers it down. My ass he got the message.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
My husband works on an army base and sometimes the
messages don't come through that delay.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Okay, Natasha, that's fine for your husband that lives on
an army base. My husband lives in downtown Auckland summer summer.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
When it's in the when you're in a relationship. Because
our business, we teach couples about how to be in
a healthy relationship. When it's that important and it's your partner,
you need to make sure they get the me so
to always call them.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Are you like a psychologist or something?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
She's a romance plan and Natasha does it really?
Speaker 6 (12:08):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
What does that mean.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
It's a nice way of helping couples and achieve healthy
relationships through communications resources on our website, sing them on
romantic getaway, the organized the date line and stilling more
romance into the relationship. So with partners and status, definitely
need to make sure they've got them.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Okay, so you think many should come see you. Thank
you so much for calling. We appreciate it. I'm going
to keep Kim see house fries coming your way. It
is just gone thirty two past three.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
I never say that like that.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
I that was weird to say it like this, it's
just gone.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Thirty two past three.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
I'm not wrong, it's wrong.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
The podcast.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
You know how, Sometimes like you're just living your life
and then something catches your attention out of the blue.
That happened to me today before the show. I was
I'd actually just gone in to get a little sandwich,
and I was sitting in my car eating my sandwich.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Sweet treat as well beyond.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
No, no, no no, I really just wanted fresh vegetables
and a sandwich. It's just my thing at the moment,
real fresh, crunchy VGs.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
You've also probably got a packet of biscuits sitting there somewhere,
don't you.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
I haven't touched them.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
They're hair for you know. I haven't stepped my little
mids and years, just so you know. Anyway, So I'm
sitting in my car eating the semi and I can
almost like feel this reverberation that's like vibration coming through
my car, and it's like I'm like, what is that?
So I put my window down and all of a sudden,
(13:52):
I hear this, you ready, like dance party? How am
I hang on? Where's it coming from? And I look
across and it's a courier Ben. He's open the door
and he's gone out doing like his run, dropping off
some couriers into some stores. And I'm like, this is dude,
(14:14):
and I Beatha in like nineteen ninety nine, So.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
This is an actual recording that you took.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I kid you not. I was like, okay, I've got
to record this for the show, literally, and this was
like one of mini bangers.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
It was just one off.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
He is obviously like amping himself up for a Wednesday
vo got to do the deliveries. It was wild.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
It makes me feel like I'm Beckett was Beckett Symphony
from the other weekend. It's so loud.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Running just kind of dawned on me.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Like you always see people and branded company cars and
you're like, oh, they'll be in a professional zone, like
they're probably just listening to AM radio and they never listened
to a talk back.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
No, no, this guy I was having a party of
his life.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Raven.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Usually to know if people are in a company car
and maybe you're a police officer, maybe you have quite
an important duty in your crews around town? What do
you listen to in the car?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Well, hopefully hopefull hopefully.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Asks yes, when you're not listening to our show, But like,
do you do you rave it? I want to know
how loud they're blasting them.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I just love that this guy is gone, you know what.
I want to do my job, but I want to
have some fun while I do it.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Yeah, And he was like it was no shame about it.
He was getting it out. He's like, sweetly to make
this Wednesday bitter. It just made me laugh. It was
so funny.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Many in the podcast Battle of the.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Heads all right, we did put a segment on the
shelf for a few weeks because of course we're doing
that to be a song ever, but it is back baby.
And if you don't know how the game works, basically,
we're presented with one ars, one artiste.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I be an interesting game, one artist.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Each week, and Maddy and I have to come to
the table with what we believe the artist's best song is. Now,
this band is coming to New Zealand and November.
Speaker 3 (16:16):

Speaker 3 (16:22):
I know, I know I am as you're getting get
them hopefully if they haven't sold out.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
But Coldplay is our band this week that we have
to select from. And I found this really hard because
I've been in og Coldplay fan for a long time
and I really wanted to go with tracks that weren't
singles like off the album like God put a Smile
Upon Your Face or Green Eyes or Magic was a
great There's so many, but at the end of the day,
(16:45):
there is one track I just can't go past, and
it has to be Coldplay's ultimate best from two thousand
and two from their album A Rush of Blood to
the Head. I can play it phenomenally on the piano,
so it has to be Clogs texph out of four
(17:19):
eighty seven. If you would like to put on a
vote for Coldplay this week.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I'm taking you back to two thousand and five, their
third studio album, X and Y. This song was written
by all four members of the band, but it holds
a really special place in front man Chris Martin's heart.
He actually developed the song to comfort his then wife
(17:42):
Gwyneth Paltrow after her dad died. Exactly what You've got
and it is such a beautiful song so beautiful. Not
only has it been featured on the Rolling Stones list
of five hundred Greatest Songs of All Time, you will
see it in so many TV series. Okay, Brothers and Sisters,
(18:07):
all of them have used this enemy did it feature?
I think maybe because it's so beautiful. My pick for

have opted for this track from the album A Russia
Blood to the head Clocks.

Can't you.

Maddy and PJ, Madi and PJ the podcast that Hey,
we've talked about this before, but the increase of increasing
use of a AI is just everywhere, right, It's just
it's quite crazy.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I remember listening to a podcast I think it was
at the end of last year, and it was like,
this is going to be everywhere soon and it really
is infiltrating like everything really really quickly.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
They're coming for us. Just be careful, be careful. But
it is one of those things where in some cases
it can be do do, do do, but it can
be used for good. And one of the interesting ways
that is being used is by managers and employers and
HR departments when trying to hire someone. So they can
now use AI to scour the internet look at people's
(22:51):
social media accounts, their LinkedIn accounts and find out the
kind of general gest or vibe of who this person
is that they're looking to hire.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Okay, so they get like a quick summary insteadims and
going through all of the pages, all of the details,
they just get a quick rundown.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yes, AI, look at this person's Instagram account and give
me a summary of who they are as a person.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I've never had a LinkedIn, I have probably got the
of all formats, I have the strongest presence on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Probably ditto likewise, So I thought, well, how good is
AI at scouring someone's Instagram social media pages. We have
got AI to look at both of our pages and
we asked them to give us a bit of a
brutal analysis that we didn't say be nice or anything
like that. Give us a bit of a roast. Look
at our page, honest, be honest. So we've got AI
(23:42):
to even voice up their reviews of our Instagram pages.
We haven't heard these yet. Page.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
I'm a bit nervous, all right, so I'm first up
on the chopping you are. This is what aid to
say about my Instagram page.
Speaker 9 (23:57):
PJ Hording's Instagram is basically the Instagram equivalent of a
Hallmark movie. Predictable, sweet, and enough to make you question
your life choices. Your bio might as well read professional
expert in wholesome Snoozefest. Every post screams look at my
perfectly curated life of wholesome living, while delivering a plotline
as gripping as a soggy tea bag. Those wedding photos
(24:19):
fantastic if you're into nostalgia that makes everyone else's wedding
memories look like a wild after party. Your nature shots
are so uninspired they could double as background images for
a how to Fall Asleep Quickly app? And your farm photos.
I'm not saying you're trying too hard, but if your
feed had a cent, it'd definitely be freshly mode. Grass
and desperation. Then there's the endless parade of you and
(24:41):
your son, Charlie, the toddler, who looks like he's been
professionally trained to endure an endless stream of cheerful photo ops. Honestly,
your life looks like a perpetual Pinterest board, where every
pin is a reminder of how wonderfully mundane everything is.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Oh, it was actually nice.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
I'm gonna be honest, it was nuts.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I thought it would be okay. Well, the parody mine
is really brujosum.
Speaker 9 (25:06):
Addai's Mattie McLean's instagram is a masterclass, and how to
make a celebrity career look like a never ending episode
of Who Cares Your Feet is like a Greatest Hits
album from the B side of Fame, where the only
thing celebrity about you is the fact that you managed
to make even the most thrilling moments look like a
trip to the dentist your bio, says announcer at the
(25:27):
Hits Drive. But the only thing your posts are announcing
is I've peaked, folks, every adventure shot and celebrity treasure
island post screams look at me, I promise I'm still relevant.
The hangout picks with friends are pure gold if you're
into watching people who clearly stayed friends with you out
of sheer pity. And those breakfast clips. Ah, Yes, nothing
(25:48):
like replaying your glory days to remind us that you're
the human equivalent of a vintage toaster. Nice to have around,
but definitely not the main event. Honestly, your feet is
like a visual metaphor for mid life crisis, desperately trying
to recapture that fleeting theme while everyone else tries to
scroll past. It's always a hood to see someone try
so hard to keep their fifteen minutes of fame ticking by.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Brutal I love you. Hey, hey not even real? Are
not even real?
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Suddenly?
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Just technology?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Why did we do that?
Speaker 3 (26:23):
That was a really really bad idea.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Maddy and PJ Medi and PJ the podcast That you
think you know someone, Ah, like, you think you've got
someone all figured out, and then they'll do something that
will just absolutely surprise you.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
I like being kept on my toes, so do I.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
And it's nice to know that, after almost eight years
together and nearly two years of marriage, you can be
kept on your toes by your own husband.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yeah, that's good. I think that's a healthy, fun relationship totally.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
He has decided this year that he's just going to
do all these new experiences. He was actually like such
a homebody, like just didn't love socializing, enjoy just quiet
nights on the couch. And then this year he's just
lit rip for some reason.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
And he's done a one ad.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
I tried completely and I'm like, mate, I'm like, I'm
in engineering forty. I was excited about the stage of
my life or I didn't have to go out anymore,
and now I'm just going to try and keep up
with you.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Well, he just needs to get it out of his system. Yes,
let him go hard and hopefully you guys will be
back on the same page next Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
But he has signed up to do something tomorrow, which
just blows my mind because it doesn't on the spotlight.
There's only really room for one of those people in
this relationship, and it's yours truly, his name Metty exactly.
But one of our friends works for like a production
(27:50):
company and is involved in a shoot for a TV
ad tomorrow. Now I can I pry. I don't think
I can tell you much about it.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
No, but it is for a big you're in my
possession and you'd be trying to get all the.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Juicy go on.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
I know I would. It's for a big New Zealand company, okay,
and it's pretty iconic, the like campaign he's going to
be part of.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Do you know what his role is?
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Extra? So I don't crash. I don't think it's high level.
Although now Ryan as all of a sudden got it
in his mind that he's going to go to set
tomorrow and they're going to go, wow, we see something
in you. Mate.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
You'll get a call up and you're not exactly you.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Need to be front and center in a starring role.
He's got it in his mind that this is going
to happen to him.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
That's so funny.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
My cousin, I think years ago ended up as an
extra in Shortland Street and the reception. I feel like
there's part and past. It has been a key with you,
like someone knows someone that's paid on.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Right.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
So your cousin, just what just set in the reception area?
What watching all the action unfold around?
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I never actually saw the episode. It could have been
a yard on his behalf. I think he was just
like he might have been pulling some quite strong facials
in the background, but there was about it.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Well, I'm sure there's a lot of people because we've
got a really strong film and TV industry here in
and there's so many things that get filmed here. I
wonder because I don't even know what goes into being
an extra. It sounds fun, it might be actually a
pain in the ass. You might just be sitting around
all day doing nothing.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Yeah, what did you get? Did you get free bands?
Did you get how long was your moment in the spotlight?
Speaker 3 (29:32):
As an extra?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Join the show, Oh the stick Wall for eight event,
Let's try and find the most impressive extra.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
On the phones right.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Now Maddy ANDPG, Medi and PJ the podcast, we're talking
the most impressive extra in New Zealand. Medi's husband is
once again decided to surprise him and it is going
to be an extra and quite an important.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yes for an iconic New Zealand brand in an iconic campaign.
I would squanderry. I can't but I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Look good.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
He would look good in I can't wait to tell
you and hopefully show you what he was in a
little bit later on.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
You know what that he kids?
Speaker 1 (30:22):
I don't know I don't hope that he gets cut,
but it will be quite funny.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Where is he? Where is he? Way he's gone?
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Wady got the X all right?
Speaker 1 (30:32):
So we want to know when did you have a
little bit of a chemeo moment as an extra on
a show or an ad or a movie. Get in
touch on oh eight hundred the hats Carla is joining us? Carla?
What was the role of the extra?
Speaker 7 (30:46):
I was a senior doctor in the Mountain. Imprtunately I
got both of the two scenes. I did pretty much
got cat and there was only about a thirty second
clip of me walking down a corridor. But I was
very pleased because I was so nervous. I was just
made a hash of it.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Oh my god, that's so wait that's a twenty twenty
four film.
Speaker 8 (31:10):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (31:12):
Yes, it was just premiered this year.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Oh oh much.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
And was it a cool experience being an extra?
Speaker 7 (31:20):
It was, but I just found it too nerve wrecking.
I originally my daughter wants to be an actress, so
I'd put her forward for a part, and because they
would need a chaperone, I thought, oh well, I might
as well go for one as well. One of the
extras and I ended up getting it and she didn't.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Oh no, no, you wanted color? Yea, what do you
even't want it?
Speaker 7 (31:44):
No? I didn't, I didn't And yeah, the nerves got
the better of me and my face was quivering in
every scene, and I was pleased that they cut it.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Please, thank you so much your cool color. Let's go
on to Briley, who joins us. Now, Bradley, what were
you an extra in the extra?
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Yogy beer?
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
What is that filmed here in New Zealand? It was amazing?
Speaker 1 (32:12):
And what did you What did you have to do?
What was your role?
Speaker 6 (32:16):
Basically just running away from fireworks and pretending that there
was a beer out in the lake.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
And here's here's the thing I've always wondered, because sometimes
you do spot an extra in a movie and you go, mate,
you really have an extra? Haven't nailed this? Were they
like really strict instructions on how you were meant to
act or was it kind of just left to you
to do it to figure it out?
Speaker 6 (32:39):
They did tell us to be really surprised at this
orange thingy that was going across the lake.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Were oh ah, oh, that was so Funny's going to
Shannon and Auckland.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Shannon, when were you an extra?
Speaker 5 (32:58):
I was an extra on shortened stretch.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Of course you were. What were you?
Speaker 5 (33:04):
I was just like an at a funeral, I think
like Poppy or something, right, yeah, but yeah, And I
was sitting directly behind two very main actors and my
face was like directly in between them, so these cameras
right on my face, and I had to look really sad.
And by the time, like my films, I was saying,
(33:28):
as we could say that so many times, it wasn't
sad anymore.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Yeah, that was said. It didn't look good. It's quite
have a non actor to just like really get into
that sad zone. Was it quite a big ask? Did
you have a bit of training for it or you
just went and ruled off?
Speaker 5 (33:45):
Well it was our class from from drag our drama
class and so right the game. But yeah, that was
it was really fun.
Speaker 6 (33:53):
Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Good food, good catering.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Yeah I do.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
Yeah. I also was a stunt double for Kilcrossland. Oh
my god, oh like the homeown three point.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Oh my gosh, you've done it all.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Maddy and PJ.
Speaker 8 (34:17):
Mady and PJ, the podcast, The Heads, the People's Poll,
the People's Poll.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
Everybody comes together.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
It's the People's Poll.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Well started out as an intro that was really has.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Grown really grown me too? Do you know what I
think at the point now where I don't even it
just doesn't even register with me that that's even us
singing there.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Yeah, if you missed it, that work many and I
need to get it in the studio. We thought, screw
it's time. The voice are an intro so painful to
listen to at the beginning.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
We did it very late on a Friday night before
we were leaving for a week's holiday, so the results
were questionable.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
We thought we were the UK Rapper storms.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
We were not.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Anyway, it is People's pole.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
We do this on the show every day, sometimes trivial,
sometimes a little more serious. Today somewhere in the middle.
What is the question, Manny McClain.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Yeah, well, it was your birthday yesterday. Happy belated birthday
for those that didn't care.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Oh, we're gonna do a birthday week. Is that what
we want?
Speaker 6 (35:15):
Well?
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Do you want? Todd? Was there anyone yesterday who you
thought I thought I would hear from them and I
didn't hear from them.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
No, I must say, people, everyone Okay, Yeah, people were
really good this year, right, it was lovely we.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Got talking day. Yeah, and the presence obviously that you
receive and I know you've got some wonderful gifts, but
it's not always the case with your birthday or with
Christmas either. You sometimes get some real duds or just
things that you think this is lovely, but it's not
for me. It doesn't suit me. I don't need it,
I don't want it. It's going to cluttering up my house,
(35:51):
and so what do you do with it? So our
question for the People's poll today is is it okay
to on sell a gift that you have been given?
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Now, let's be honest. Times are particularly tough for people,
so we're not going to judge you if you say, yep,
that's fine. I would personally say it is okay to
donate to maybe the local cells or like hand it
on to someone, to a friend. Maybe someone needs that
exact thing, so you give it to them. But I
think to make money of a reason that someone's bought
for you doesn't feel right to me.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Except it's in a roundabout way. It is you are
getting money for the thing that someone's brought you, which
provides you the opportunity to buy something that you want,
So if you looked at it that way, you are
technically getting something from that person. It's just not the
thing that they got you.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
How would you feel, though, if one of your mates
did there and you secretly found out that they were
doing that on the slant?
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Do you know what? I genuinely don't think I'd keep
it because I would know that the thing was actually
just shown the kindness of getting them a gift. So
then whatever they do with a gift after that is
up to the.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Okay, well, let's put the question to you right now.
New Zealand Text four for eighty seven. Is it okay
to on sell a present that you've been given? Maybe
it's a birthday Prezzy, Chrissy, priezy, whatever it is, is
it okay to then go and get money for it
and sell it to someone else?
Speaker 4 (37:18):
The podcast.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
That the People's Poll, the People's Poll, everybody comes together,
it's the People's Poll.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Is it okay to go on and sell a present
that you've been given as a gift?
Speaker 3 (37:32):
That is our question today on the show.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
I we got given the gift from my parents for Christmas.
A couple of years ago that I can honestly say
we've never used and what is that this is? It
was a record player?
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Oh that's so cold.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Awesome, but we just it just isn't something we use
or have space the idea.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
Do you like the idea of being a record player?
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Guy, I don't think I've ever thought of myself as
a record really quite cool. So now I'm thinking, is
that now that we're talking about this and think, is
it okay to on seller? The text machine says yes.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Yeah, I'm absolutely blown away by this because I said,
I just don't think. I think it's fine to take
it to a donation store, you know, Salvation Army or whatever.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
Or give it to a friend.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
That's all good, But I think when you go and
make money off it, I don't know the purpose of
a gift is the thought of it, you know, it's.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
The thought that counts.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
Someone did say, though, it's a gift and the receiver
can do with it as they choose. It's the discretion
and being mindful of how they on sell it. That's
just I so thought that I would be in good
company you are. Can I just tell you though, I've
talied it up because there were a lot of yuses
on the text machine, but we also put this poll
on our Instagram page. You can go and vote on
(38:44):
the hits drive with Many MPKA. Fifty eight percent of
people say, NAT, you can't on sell it. You got
to keep it for yourself, and so forty two percent
said yes, So you are in the majority. It's it's close,
but you are in the majority.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
I think it's just the state of the times at
the moment. You know, people are desperate, they need a
little bit of coin. So I mean, look, you've got
to do what you gotta do. No judgment from us.
Speaker 4 (39:08):
Many and PJ the podcast, Oh that's
The Hits Drive with Meddy and Paj thanks to chimis
Weehouse the Real House of Fragrances and on the Hi
and Welcome to the podcast. You're joined by PJ Harding
and Maddie maclain.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Oh that was a very formal intro.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Yeah, it didn't sound right, did it.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
It sounded I mean it sounded right. It sounded right,
as in, there was nothing technically wrong with it.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
Yeah, but usually this is just like casual banter where
you talk shit, you.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Know, Yeah, usually our podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
I actually can't get that image out of my hud.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Are you going to Google? Google?
Speaker 3 (00:44):
No, I can't. I cannot.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Well, I don't know that there will be because he
did do a full frontal movie, but they remember the
whole story was that they had to use a dick
double because it was so big. Imagine that being your problem.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
It could be No, actually can be I know it
can be a problem. Oh it would be absolutely no. No,
I don't know, but like no, I know it fixtand
but I just know it could actually be quite intimidating.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Definitely, Yeah, definitely, ways though for sure.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
Anyway, what's going on in your life?
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Imagine though, if you were the guy where they were like,
hey would love for you to be a part of
this movie. And you're going, oh my god, amazing, and
then they go, yeah, we want you to be Willem
Dafoe's dicked up penis stunk and you go okay, and
they go yeah, because he's too big, so we need
something like significantly smaller.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
So would the stunt double have to look like Willem Dafoe.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
No, because I think that just it was just a below,
just below part of the matter. It could be anyone,
but imagine being asked to do it because specifically because
your penis is significantly smaller than Willem Dafoe. Oh cool, thanks.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Sweet, that's one way to humble me for a Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Oh well, how is you? How is your birthday curry?
Last night?
Speaker 1 (02:10):
It was good look to be honest, I did get
a Lamb Cormer and they made it a bit sweet.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
No, you can't do that.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
You can't do that, so that's all right, but no,
I had a nice experience with the curry. It was
a good call, but I didn't actually end up eating
that much, and I left hates for leftovers and I
didn't eat it for lunch and I think my husband
honed it, so I don't know how much has left,
but I would would love, like it's a little bit.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
When I get home, you reckon, it'll be there. What's
the likelihood? I know? With Ryan, my husband, if I
leave stuff.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
He's got, he's like a waste disposal.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
They've got no like they've got no thought or not
like that, no care for anyone else.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Sometimes you'll get hold traits when it comes to trades,
when it comes to.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
True Sometimes I get home I would have liked some
of that, and he's like, well, what did you expect
it was in the fridge? You could He was like,
it was there earlier, you could have eaten it earlier.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
It's almost like beage gets really competitive and he's worried,
like he has to beat me to us.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah he has to.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Yeah, it's a weird. It's a weird, like silent competitiveness.
I remember he won't beat him.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
I remember recently buying a packet of chips and thinking
Ryan and I would have this sheer a lovely packet
of chips together at some point, and I got home
and demolished the entire packet.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Yeah, but I mean half those bags here these days,
aren't they exactly?
Speaker 2 (03:35):
And he's a growing boy, glowing.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
I forget he's my age. I always think he's a
bit older, but he's is he younger than me.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
He's younger than you. Thirty two, he's thirty two year
he's about to turn thirty three in a couple of months.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Oh my god, sign you need to get out of here,
and you and I have got a beg night ahead
of us.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
To my big day tomorrow. Yeah, she's got to be
a big one.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
We're hosting an Alpha Quiz live, so.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Apparently it's so loud although we sit in the show
it's but then we realized, actually it is.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
That's cold, So you need to get home, yeah, and
drive safe tomorrow. Yes, so well, I'm looking well, I'm
looking forward to giving you a little squeeze in person.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I know, when did I last see you? When did
I last see you? Oh my god?
Speaker 4 (04:29):
Hang on?
Speaker 3 (04:29):
Was it? Was it?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
It's really ravening check for anyone.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
But was it the last time or was it the
last time I came to Wellington and we did Alpha Quits.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Live That was a long time ago. No, No, oh
my god, this is going to really annoy me.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Or yeah, field days, field days for dinner.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Okay, but that was ages ago.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
That was ages ago, So much can happen in that time.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Yeah, let's get together.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
Yeah, let's get together right now. No, that's the wrong words. Okay,
it's time to get out guys. Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
We actually had quite a fun show.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
We inspired by a story about how workplaces are using
AI to just do quick scans of potential employees. We
got AI to GroEL us to absolutely roast our social
media pages and it did not hold back.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Brutal. Also, I was late to something with my husband
and I needed to ask a question to see if
I was in the wrong or he was.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
In the wrong.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Plus, we wanted to know when have you been an
extra on a show, an ad, or a movie.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
We took your calls. So all of that and more
coming up on the.
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Podcast Many and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
My husband's a real estate agent and so one of
the things he has to do is he it's not
his favorite thing to do, but he does it because
it's part of the job. One of those things that
you just have to do because it's part of your work. Yes,
he has to go and film like a lot of
content videos, you know, with the houses that he's got
for sale.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
I've got a few make some real estate and they're
doing the same thing. Yeah, it just feels like it's
part of parcel in the industry. Now, you gotta sell, sell, sell.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
He's actually very good at it. He doesn't which is
maybe the mark of someone who doesn't particularly enjoy doing it.
Is actually they're very good at it. Is maybe the
ones that get a little too cocky and think they're
really good that actually don't nail it something to learn now.
I have seen some terrible real estate videos over the years.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
Terrible.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
But anyway, today he just wanted to go and film
a little thing, but people in his office were really busy,
and so he said to me, do you mind coming
and just filming for me this quick little thing. It'll
be really short and sweet before work. And I said,
absolutely happy to do it. And he, much like our
producers here, loves a calendar invite. So I got a
(06:55):
calendar invite for from him.
Speaker 1 (06:58):
Why but you guys are in a relationship, can you
just have like a verbal agreement that you're going to
be there at a time. Do they really need to
schedule it up.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
You can, but he likes his day to be kind
of like to be organized, and he likes to know, Okay,
I've got this at this time and this at this time.
So I got a calendar invite for him eleven am
this morning. I needed to be on site to DELILM
this video. Well you know me, Oh.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
My god, let me guess. Okay, so usually at work,
you're about five minutes late. I reckon with your husband,
you'd probably have a bit more leeway push it and
you push it out of it.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
So let's say ten to fifteen late.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
So what happened was, and this is often the case
with me, I just bit off a little bit more
than I could chew this morning. I just there were
too many things that I thought I'll do before work
that just got me behind. Yes, and I was definitely
running late, but I knew that I was going to
be running late. So half an hour before the allotted time,
(07:52):
I sent Ryan a message and I said, I'm not
going to make it. I'm just letting you know. But
he didn't the message. Oh no, And so Ryan is
I was running. I was going to be running. I said,
I'm going to be running fifteen minutes late, so can
we push the eleven to eleven fifteen?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Ryan is always very early to everything, so he was
already running ten minutes early to this appointment, and I
was running fifteen minutes late. So that was a twenty
five minute window on which he was sitting in the car.
Now here's my question. Because I gave him the heads
up and told him I was going to be late
with enough time for him to not get there, but
(08:34):
he didn't see the message.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Yeah, so that's on him.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
So this is my etiquette question. Is it on the
person who is going to be late to ensure that
the message makes it to the person or is it
okay just to send one message and let it be
that person's responsibility as to whether they see the message
or not.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Oh no, I see No, I no know what I
would do if I didn't hear I'd be like, oh,
I'll just call.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I would definitely call.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
But I was running around like a hitless chicken, trying
to get everything done so I could actually make it
to this thing. And I've seen and I thought I've
seen the message, So I've done my job. I've done
my job.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Okay, So there's one message enough when you don't get
a response back to let the person know that you're
going to be late.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Yes, Is that enough?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Or is it on you, the person who's going to
be late, to follow up and.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
Ensure that the message gets through.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
I feel like many needs some validation.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
I do.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Maddy and PJ.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Mady and PJ the podcasts.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
We've got a few prizes to give away, thanks to
those guys right now on the phones. Oh eight hundred
the hats. We're just asking the question. It was many
in the wrong this morning?
Speaker 2 (09:51):
I was running late. No, I had organized to meet
my husband at a certain time, and I knew ahead
of time that I was going to be running. Life
happens sometimes you're late. And I sent him a message
more than half an hour before the allotted time that
I was meant to meet him to say I'm going
to be late. Can we push the time to this time?
(10:12):
He didn't see the message, And my question is is
that on me to make sure he sees the message
or is it okay to send a message and then
that's on him not seeing it looking at the.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Text machine, people do think it's on you four ur
eh seven. You can get in touch it's on you
to ensure they get the message. You should ring if
no reply back. Sorry, Mattie. You definitely should have followed
up with a call if you didn't get a reply.
But I also can't see why your hobby didn't see
your message. Well he was waiting for you, that's true,
but you're still definitely more wrong than him, sos Earl.
(10:42):
He's got to Tara joining us. What are your thoughts, Tara?
Speaker 5 (10:46):
I think it's definitely wrong. I was in the same
boat on Monday, being late and a person waited for
thirty minutes because they didn't see my message.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
So you've done this? Did you did the same thing
that I did? I did, and you're not even backing
me up. Tara, And you've done this.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
I felt really bad. I should have followed through.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Yes, I felt bad. I felt bad too, but I
did my job. I sent the message saying I was going.
Speaker 6 (11:11):
To be late next time, we just have to call.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yes, that's true, or just be on time, yeah, or
just be better alive.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
I'll LEAs go to Natasha. Good afternoon, Natasha. What are
your thoughts?
Speaker 6 (11:24):
One hundred percent matter? You needed to phone. You know
that you're in communications and text me. Text messages sometimes
don't keep true. The cell towers it down.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Cell towers it down. My ass he got the message.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
My husband works on an army base and sometimes the
messages don't come through that delay.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Okay, Natasha, that's fine for your husband that lives on
an army base. My husband lives in downtown Auckland summer summer.
Speaker 6 (11:51):
When it's in the when you're in a relationship. Because
our business, we teach couples about how to be in
a healthy relationship. When it's that important and it's your partner,
you need to make sure they get the me so
to always call them.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Are you like a psychologist or something?
Speaker 1 (12:05):
She's a romance plan and Natasha does it really?
Speaker 6 (12:08):
Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
What does that mean.
Speaker 6 (12:11):
It's a nice way of helping couples and achieve healthy
relationships through communications resources on our website, sing them on
romantic getaway, the organized the date line and stilling more
romance into the relationship. So with partners and status, definitely
need to make sure they've got them.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Okay, so you think many should come see you. Thank
you so much for calling. We appreciate it. I'm going
to keep Kim see house fries coming your way. It
is just gone thirty two past three.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
I never say that like that.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
I that was weird to say it like this, it's
just gone.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
Thirty two past three.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
I'm not wrong, it's wrong.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
The podcast.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
You know how, Sometimes like you're just living your life
and then something catches your attention out of the blue.
That happened to me today before the show. I was
I'd actually just gone in to get a little sandwich,
and I was sitting in my car eating my sandwich.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Sweet treat as well beyond.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
No, no, no no, I really just wanted fresh vegetables
and a sandwich. It's just my thing at the moment,
real fresh, crunchy VGs.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
You've also probably got a packet of biscuits sitting there somewhere,
don't you.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
I haven't touched them.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
They're hair for you know. I haven't stepped my little
mids and years, just so you know. Anyway, So I'm
sitting in my car eating the semi and I can
almost like feel this reverberation that's like vibration coming through
my car, and it's like I'm like, what is that?
So I put my window down and all of a sudden,
(13:52):
I hear this, you ready, like dance party? How am
I hang on? Where's it coming from? And I look
across and it's a courier Ben. He's open the door
and he's gone out doing like his run, dropping off
some couriers into some stores. And I'm like, this is dude,
(14:14):
and I Beatha in like nineteen ninety nine, So.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
This is an actual recording that you took.
Speaker 1 (14:20):
I kid you not. I was like, okay, I've got
to record this for the show, literally, and this was
like one of mini bangers.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
It was just one off.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
He is obviously like amping himself up for a Wednesday
vo got to do the deliveries. It was wild.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
It makes me feel like I'm Beckett was Beckett Symphony
from the other weekend. It's so loud.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Running just kind of dawned on me.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Like you always see people and branded company cars and
you're like, oh, they'll be in a professional zone, like
they're probably just listening to AM radio and they never listened
to a talk back.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
No, no, this guy I was having a party of
his life.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Raven.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Usually to know if people are in a company car
and maybe you're a police officer, maybe you have quite
an important duty in your crews around town? What do
you listen to in the car?
Speaker 2 (15:11):
Well, hopefully hopefull hopefully.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Asks yes, when you're not listening to our show, But like,
do you do you rave it? I want to know
how loud they're blasting them.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I just love that this guy is gone, you know what.
I want to do my job, but I want to
have some fun while I do it.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Yeah, And he was like it was no shame about it.
He was getting it out. He's like, sweetly to make
this Wednesday bitter. It just made me laugh. It was
so funny.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
Many in the podcast Battle of the.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Heads all right, we did put a segment on the
shelf for a few weeks because of course we're doing
that to be a song ever, but it is back baby.
And if you don't know how the game works, basically,
we're presented with one ars, one artiste.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I be an interesting game, one artist.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
Each week, and Maddy and I have to come to
the table with what we believe the artist's best song is. Now,
this band is coming to New Zealand and November.
Speaker 3 (16:16):

Speaker 2 (16:19):
I'm gonna do about that very long.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
I know, I know I am as you're getting get
them hopefully if they haven't sold out.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
But Coldplay is our band this week that we have
to select from. And I found this really hard because
I've been in og Coldplay fan for a long time
and I really wanted to go with tracks that weren't
singles like off the album like God put a Smile
Upon Your Face or Green Eyes or Magic was a
great There's so many, but at the end of the day,
(16:45):
there is one track I just can't go past, and
it has to be Coldplay's ultimate best from two thousand
and two from their album A Rush of Blood to
the Head. I can play it phenomenally on the piano,
so it has to be Clogs texph out of four
(17:19):
eighty seven. If you would like to put on a
vote for Coldplay this week.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I'm taking you back to two thousand and five, their
third studio album, X and Y. This song was written
by all four members of the band, but it holds
a really special place in front man Chris Martin's heart.
He actually developed the song to comfort his then wife
(17:42):
Gwyneth Paltrow after her dad died. Exactly what You've got
and it is such a beautiful song so beautiful. Not
only has it been featured on the Rolling Stones list
of five hundred Greatest Songs of All Time, you will
see it in so many TV series. Okay, Brothers and Sisters,
(18:07):
all of them have used this enemy did it feature?
I think maybe because it's so beautiful. My pick for
Battle of the Hits this week is fix You.
Speaker 1 (18:22):

like and it is a good song. MacLean, I'll give

of course setting up our fine shores in November. All
the details for those gigs you can check out the
stot Co doting zis. But Maddie and I have come
to the table with what we believe is their best song.
It was a real hard one. There were a few
songs that I really wanted to pert, but I just
knew I wouldn't win with them this week, So I
(19:23):
have opted for this track from the album A Russia
Blood to the head Clocks.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
It's a good one, famously, you can play it on
the piano.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Can't you.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
I get very well. It used to be my party.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
Trick, A great song, but I still maintain that mine
is better. I this week have gone for the incredible
banger from Coldplay, Fix You.

ball like a baby your songs. Something the water today.

I just had a feeling in Tularzzi.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
Coming away.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
It's just one of those songs that no matter how
old you are, whatever you're going through, that song just
like fixes you.

Cry some Tears, New Zealand. It's fixed you when you
try your best but you don't.
Speaker 4 (21:54):
Succeed when you get what you want. But not watching.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
Maddy and PJ, Madi and PJ the podcast that Hey,
we've talked about this before, but the increase of increasing
use of a AI is just everywhere, right, It's just
it's quite crazy.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I remember listening to a podcast I think it was
at the end of last year, and it was like,
this is going to be everywhere soon and it really
is infiltrating like everything really really quickly.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
They're coming for us. Just be careful, be careful. But
it is one of those things where in some cases
it can be do do, do do, but it can
be used for good. And one of the interesting ways
that is being used is by managers and employers and
HR departments when trying to hire someone. So they can
now use AI to scour the internet look at people's
(22:51):
social media accounts, their LinkedIn accounts and find out the
kind of general gest or vibe of who this person
is that they're looking to hire.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Okay, so they get like a quick summary insteadims and
going through all of the pages, all of the details,
they just get a quick rundown.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yes, AI, look at this person's Instagram account and give
me a summary of who they are as a person.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
I've never had a LinkedIn, I have probably got the
of all formats, I have the strongest presence on Instagram.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Probably ditto likewise, So I thought, well, how good is
AI at scouring someone's Instagram social media pages. We have
got AI to look at both of our pages and
we asked them to give us a bit of a
brutal analysis that we didn't say be nice or anything
like that. Give us a bit of a roast. Look
at our page, honest, be honest. So we've got AI
(23:42):
to even voice up their reviews of our Instagram pages.
We haven't heard these yet. Page.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
I'm a bit nervous, all right, so I'm first up
on the chopping you are. This is what aid to
say about my Instagram page.
Speaker 9 (23:57):
PJ Hording's Instagram is basically the Instagram equivalent of a
Hallmark movie. Predictable, sweet, and enough to make you question
your life choices. Your bio might as well read professional
expert in wholesome Snoozefest. Every post screams look at my
perfectly curated life of wholesome living, while delivering a plotline
as gripping as a soggy tea bag. Those wedding photos
(24:19):
fantastic if you're into nostalgia that makes everyone else's wedding
memories look like a wild after party. Your nature shots
are so uninspired they could double as background images for
a how to Fall Asleep Quickly app? And your farm photos.
I'm not saying you're trying too hard, but if your
feed had a cent, it'd definitely be freshly mode. Grass
and desperation. Then there's the endless parade of you and
(24:41):
your son, Charlie, the toddler, who looks like he's been
professionally trained to endure an endless stream of cheerful photo ops. Honestly,
your life looks like a perpetual Pinterest board, where every
pin is a reminder of how wonderfully mundane everything is.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Oh, it was actually nice.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
I'm gonna be honest, it was nuts.
Speaker 2 (25:00):
I thought it would be okay. Well, the parody mine
is really brujosum.
Speaker 9 (25:06):
Addai's Mattie McLean's instagram is a masterclass, and how to
make a celebrity career look like a never ending episode
of Who Cares Your Feet is like a Greatest Hits
album from the B side of Fame, where the only
thing celebrity about you is the fact that you managed
to make even the most thrilling moments look like a
trip to the dentist your bio, says announcer at the
(25:27):
Hits Drive. But the only thing your posts are announcing
is I've peaked, folks, every adventure shot and celebrity treasure
island post screams look at me, I promise I'm still relevant.
The hangout picks with friends are pure gold if you're
into watching people who clearly stayed friends with you out
of sheer pity. And those breakfast clips. Ah, Yes, nothing
(25:48):
like replaying your glory days to remind us that you're
the human equivalent of a vintage toaster. Nice to have around,
but definitely not the main event. Honestly, your feet is
like a visual metaphor for mid life crisis, desperately trying
to recapture that fleeting theme while everyone else tries to
scroll past. It's always a hood to see someone try
so hard to keep their fifteen minutes of fame ticking by.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Brutal I love you. Hey, hey not even real? Are
not even real?
Speaker 3 (26:20):
Suddenly?
Speaker 1 (26:21):
Just technology?
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Why did we do that?
Speaker 3 (26:23):
That was a really really bad idea.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
Maddy and PJ Medi and PJ the podcast That you
think you know someone, Ah, like, you think you've got
someone all figured out, and then they'll do something that
will just absolutely surprise you.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
I like being kept on my toes, so do I.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
And it's nice to know that, after almost eight years
together and nearly two years of marriage, you can be
kept on your toes by your own husband.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Yeah, that's good. I think that's a healthy, fun relationship totally.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
He has decided this year that he's just going to
do all these new experiences. He was actually like such
a homebody, like just didn't love socializing, enjoy just quiet
nights on the couch. And then this year he's just
lit rip for some reason.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
And he's done a one ad.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
I tried completely and I'm like, mate, I'm like, I'm
in engineering forty. I was excited about the stage of
my life or I didn't have to go out anymore,
and now I'm just going to try and keep up
with you.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
Well, he just needs to get it out of his system. Yes,
let him go hard and hopefully you guys will be
back on the same page next Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
But he has signed up to do something tomorrow, which
just blows my mind because it doesn't on the spotlight.
There's only really room for one of those people in
this relationship, and it's yours truly, his name Metty exactly.
But one of our friends works for like a production
(27:50):
company and is involved in a shoot for a TV
ad tomorrow. Now I can I pry. I don't think
I can tell you much about it.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
No, but it is for a big you're in my
possession and you'd be trying to get all the.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
Juicy go on.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
I know I would. It's for a big New Zealand company, okay,
and it's pretty iconic, the like campaign he's going to
be part of.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
Do you know what his role is?
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Extra? So I don't crash. I don't think it's high level.
Although now Ryan as all of a sudden got it
in his mind that he's going to go to set
tomorrow and they're going to go, wow, we see something
in you. Mate.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
You'll get a call up and you're not exactly you.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Need to be front and center in a starring role.
He's got it in his mind that this is going
to happen to him.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
That's so funny.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
My cousin, I think years ago ended up as an
extra in Shortland Street and the reception. I feel like
there's part and past. It has been a key with you,
like someone knows someone that's paid on.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Right.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
So your cousin, just what just set in the reception area?
What watching all the action unfold around?
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I never actually saw the episode. It could have been
a yard on his behalf. I think he was just
like he might have been pulling some quite strong facials
in the background, but there was about it.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
Well, I'm sure there's a lot of people because we've
got a really strong film and TV industry here in
and there's so many things that get filmed here. I
wonder because I don't even know what goes into being
an extra. It sounds fun, it might be actually a
pain in the ass. You might just be sitting around
all day doing nothing.
Speaker 1 (29:26):
Yeah, what did you get? Did you get free bands?
Did you get how long was your moment in the spotlight?
Speaker 3 (29:32):
As an extra?
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Join the show, Oh the stick Wall for eight event,
Let's try and find the most impressive extra.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
I love it.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
On the phones right.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
Now Maddy ANDPG, Medi and PJ the podcast, we're talking
the most impressive extra in New Zealand. Medi's husband is
once again decided to surprise him and it is going
to be an extra and quite an important.

Yes for an iconic New Zealand brand in an iconic campaign.
I would squanderry. I can't but I can't wait.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Look good.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
He would look good in I can't wait to tell
you and hopefully show you what he was in a
little bit later on.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
You know what that he kids?
Speaker 1 (30:22):
I don't know I don't hope that he gets cut,
but it will be quite funny.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
Where is he? Where is he? Way he's gone?
Speaker 3 (30:30):
Wady got the X all right?
Speaker 1 (30:32):
So we want to know when did you have a
little bit of a chemeo moment as an extra on
a show or an ad or a movie. Get in
touch on oh eight hundred the hats Carla is joining us? Carla?
What was the role of the extra?
Speaker 7 (30:46):
I was a senior doctor in the Mountain. Imprtunately I
got both of the two scenes. I did pretty much
got cat and there was only about a thirty second
clip of me walking down a corridor. But I was
very pleased because I was so nervous. I was just
made a hash of it.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Oh my god, that's so wait that's a twenty twenty
four film.
Speaker 8 (31:10):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (31:11):
Yes?
Speaker 7 (31:12):
Yes, it was just premiered this year.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
Oh oh much.
Speaker 2 (31:16):
And was it a cool experience being an extra?
Speaker 7 (31:20):
It was, but I just found it too nerve wrecking.
I originally my daughter wants to be an actress, so
I'd put her forward for a part, and because they
would need a chaperone, I thought, oh well, I might
as well go for one as well. One of the
extras and I ended up getting it and she didn't.
Speaker 2 (31:36):
Oh no, no, you wanted color? Yea, what do you
even't want it?
Speaker 7 (31:44):
No? I didn't, I didn't And yeah, the nerves got
the better of me and my face was quivering in
every scene, and I was pleased that they cut it.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Please, thank you so much your cool color. Let's go
on to Briley, who joins us. Now, Bradley, what were
you an extra in the extra?
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Yogy beer?
Speaker 1 (32:06):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (32:08):
What is that filmed here in New Zealand? It was amazing?
Speaker 1 (32:12):
And what did you What did you have to do?
What was your role?
Speaker 6 (32:16):
Basically just running away from fireworks and pretending that there
was a beer out in the lake.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
And here's here's the thing I've always wondered, because sometimes
you do spot an extra in a movie and you go, mate,
you really have an extra? Haven't nailed this? Were they
like really strict instructions on how you were meant to
act or was it kind of just left to you
to do it to figure it out?
Speaker 6 (32:39):
They did tell us to be really surprised at this
orange thingy that was going across the lake.
Speaker 1 (32:45):
Were oh ah, oh, that was so Funny's going to
Shannon and Auckland.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
Shannon, when were you an extra?
Speaker 5 (32:58):
I was an extra on shortened stretch.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Of course you were. What were you?
Speaker 5 (33:04):
I was just like an at a funeral, I think
like Poppy or something, right, yeah, but yeah, And I
was sitting directly behind two very main actors and my
face was like directly in between them, so these cameras
right on my face, and I had to look really sad.
And by the time, like my films, I was saying,
(33:28):
as we could say that so many times, it wasn't
sad anymore.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
Yeah, that was said. It didn't look good. It's quite
have a non actor to just like really get into
that sad zone. Was it quite a big ask? Did
you have a bit of training for it or you
just went and ruled off?
Speaker 5 (33:45):
Well it was our class from from drag our drama
class and so right the game. But yeah, that was
it was really fun.
Speaker 6 (33:53):
Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Good food, good catering.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
Yeah I do.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
Yeah. I also was a stunt double for Kilcrossland. Oh
my god, oh like the homeown three point.
Speaker 2 (34:06):
Oh my gosh, you've done it all.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Maddy and PJ.
Speaker 8 (34:17):
Mady and PJ, the podcast, The Heads, the People's Poll,
the People's Poll.
Speaker 4 (34:23):
Everybody comes together.
Speaker 2 (34:24):
It's the People's Poll.
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Well started out as an intro that was really has.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Grown really grown me too? Do you know what I
think at the point now where I don't even it
just doesn't even register with me that that's even us
singing there.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Yeah, if you missed it, that work many and I
need to get it in the studio. We thought, screw
it's time. The voice are an intro so painful to
listen to at the beginning.
Speaker 2 (34:45):
We did it very late on a Friday night before
we were leaving for a week's holiday, so the results
were questionable.
Speaker 3 (34:54):
We thought we were the UK Rapper storms.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
We were not.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Anyway, it is People's pole.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
We do this on the show every day, sometimes trivial,
sometimes a little more serious. Today somewhere in the middle.
What is the question, Manny McClain.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Yeah, well, it was your birthday yesterday. Happy belated birthday
for those that didn't care.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
Oh, we're gonna do a birthday week. Is that what
we want?
Speaker 6 (35:15):
Well?
Speaker 2 (35:15):
Do you want? Todd? Was there anyone yesterday who you
thought I thought I would hear from them and I
didn't hear from them.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
No, I must say, people, everyone Okay, Yeah, people were
really good this year, right, it was lovely we.
Speaker 2 (35:30):
Got talking day. Yeah, and the presence obviously that you
receive and I know you've got some wonderful gifts, but
it's not always the case with your birthday or with
Christmas either. You sometimes get some real duds or just
things that you think this is lovely, but it's not
for me. It doesn't suit me. I don't need it,
I don't want it. It's going to cluttering up my house,
(35:51):
and so what do you do with it? So our
question for the People's poll today is is it okay
to on sell a gift that you have been given?
Speaker 1 (36:00):
Now, let's be honest. Times are particularly tough for people,
so we're not going to judge you if you say, yep,
that's fine. I would personally say it is okay to
donate to maybe the local cells or like hand it
on to someone, to a friend. Maybe someone needs that
exact thing, so you give it to them. But I
think to make money of a reason that someone's bought
for you doesn't feel right to me.
Speaker 2 (36:22):
Except it's in a roundabout way. It is you are
getting money for the thing that someone's brought you, which
provides you the opportunity to buy something that you want,
So if you looked at it that way, you are
technically getting something from that person. It's just not the
thing that they got you.
Speaker 1 (36:41):
How would you feel, though, if one of your mates
did there and you secretly found out that they were
doing that on the slant?
Speaker 2 (36:48):
Do you know what? I genuinely don't think I'd keep
it because I would know that the thing was actually
just shown the kindness of getting them a gift. So
then whatever they do with a gift after that is
up to the.
Speaker 1 (37:01):
Okay, well, let's put the question to you right now.
New Zealand Text four for eighty seven. Is it okay
to on sell a present that you've been given? Maybe
it's a birthday Prezzy, Chrissy, priezy, whatever it is, is
it okay to then go and get money for it
and sell it to someone else?
Speaker 4 (37:18):
The podcast.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
That the People's Poll, the People's Poll, everybody comes together,
it's the People's Poll.
Speaker 1 (37:26):
Is it okay to go on and sell a present
that you've been given as a gift?
Speaker 3 (37:32):
That is our question today on the show.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
I we got given the gift from my parents for Christmas.
A couple of years ago that I can honestly say
we've never used and what is that this is? It
was a record player?
Speaker 1 (37:46):
Oh that's so cold.
Speaker 2 (37:48):
Awesome, but we just it just isn't something we use
or have space the idea.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
Do you like the idea of being a record player?
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Guy, I don't think I've ever thought of myself as
a record really quite cool. So now I'm thinking, is
that now that we're talking about this and think, is
it okay to on seller? The text machine says yes.
Speaker 1 (38:07):
Yeah, I'm absolutely blown away by this because I said,
I just don't think. I think it's fine to take
it to a donation store, you know, Salvation Army or whatever.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
Or give it to a friend.
Speaker 1 (38:17):
That's all good, But I think when you go and
make money off it, I don't know the purpose of
a gift is the thought of it, you know, it's.
Speaker 3 (38:23):
The thought that counts.
Speaker 2 (38:24):
Someone did say, though, it's a gift and the receiver
can do with it as they choose. It's the discretion
and being mindful of how they on sell it. That's
just I so thought that I would be in good
company you are. Can I just tell you though, I've
talied it up because there were a lot of yuses
on the text machine, but we also put this poll
on our Instagram page. You can go and vote on
(38:44):
the hits drive with Many MPKA. Fifty eight percent of
people say, NAT, you can't on sell it. You got
to keep it for yourself, and so forty two percent
said yes, So you are in the majority. It's it's close,
but you are in the majority.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
I think it's just the state of the times at
the moment. You know, people are desperate, they need a
little bit of coin. So I mean, look, you've got
to do what you gotta do. No judgment from us.
Speaker 4 (39:08):
Many and PJ the podcast, Oh that's
