Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Hits Drive with Medi and PJ thanks to chimis
Wee House the Real House of Fragrances on that Hello,
welcome to the podcast. Are you stinking? Are you stinking
right now?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I did spray myself earlier, but man, I just had
got a whiff of my I'm so sorry to anyone
that's been in the studio.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
With oly same No one's here though, luckily because we're
in separate studios right now. I cuddled up to Beaje
on the cauch last night. He came out from Rugby.
I swear he was wearing links Africa.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Really he does. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
It was like it was just some potent like schoolboys deodorant,
And I felt really confused about it because.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
On the one hand, where you kind of like, all
it brings you back to a time, yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
But also I was like, that's strong man. Yeah, really
opened my nostrils. But it does do it for me sometimes.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
A bit of a do you know? It's a wonder
we were ever trected to teenage boys. They're so gross.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Girls are pretty grotty too, though, Well we can back.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Can I just click? Can I just clarify when I
mean when I see that. I meant as a teenager
being a traded Oh, I'm digging. I'm closing the hole.
I'm closing the whole.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Do you want me to give you a segway out
of this please? You said you've got something for the podcast.
It was a little bit naughty for the show. Off
the back of that, you sound like a dodgy dog.
I just saw this article. They did a.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
They did a study in the UK about bedroom habits. Yes,
and it pinpointed all of the like desires that Brits have.
It's three and a half thousand people in the UK
about the preferences between the sheets and I just want
(02:03):
to thought.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Finger that could mean anything. That could literally mean anything
like h bite my finger. Ah that can keep going
(02:25):
Stop looking at.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Me like that, Jesus h. Anyway, the findings revealed that
one in twenty five brets one in twenty five. We're
interested in object failure, which is when a person engages
(02:48):
with a sexual or romantic relationship with an inanimate object.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Oh so you're not talking like sex toys.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Well, it could be, but it also could be a lamp,
it could be a water bottle.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I love lamb literally. Sorry.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
The preferred objects won't specified in the report, but one
in twenty five said, yeah, I'm interested in a sexual
or romantic relationship with an inanimate object. It could be
that the majority of those were just like, yeah, I'd
be keen to try a toy, like an adult toy, but.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I don't know. I feel like it goes deeper than
there could.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
We could do.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
What percentage of participants do you reckon would have a foot.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Fetish or hates on? Maybe like thirteen no, lowa eight eight?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Right, yeah, eight percent of participants have a foot fetish's
back baby. Ten percent of people want to engage in something?
Do you want to take a stepment? What they want
to engage do you know want to go.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I'd say in the backdoor?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
No? No, oh?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
And inviting someone else in.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Well, it's yes in a way, not a strict threesome.
But cuck holding cock holding.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Oh, that's like an old school term from Shakespeare, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I think so it does come from olden days, but
it's kind of had this like resurgence. It's basically when
one partner kind of watches their partner engage in like
situate together with someone else and the person that's watching
becomes the.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Cuckold because they've been cuckolded.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, they've basically been like they've been almost like shamed. Yeah, emasculine,
like demasculated.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Yes, but they kind of get a kick out of it,
out of it, yeah, shame me more.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Seventeen percent of people wanted a dom in sub relationship.
So when someone is with the dominant, dom dominant, dominant
and submissive.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, okay, up.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Doesn't necessarily mean like beady. It seem like full noise.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Late, but just someone some the director say.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, yeah, but one sexual tree stands head and shoulders
above the rest. Thirty two percent, almost a third of
Brett's are interested in exploring erotic role play.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Well, erotic novels through the roof at the moment. So
that makes sense. Yeah, so is that like, is it
something from like would you just get to take on
whatever character you kind of want?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
You come up with it? Yeah, whatever it is, whatever
it is.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Hello, I'm here, I'm your nurse.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
People already think.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
That could be fun.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
It could be.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
No, I'm saying I can be. I'm just justifying that
I'm so fun.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Right right, Or you're like freeze, you're under arrest, get
on the ground.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Why do I feel like you've done something like that before?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Have you?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
You have you freaking have Tell me you have? And
I can imagine you with the little chaps, less chaps,
ye like leather us those chaps with a little bear.
That's too naughty for up. I don't know how naughty
we can go on the podcast. No one, We can
be pretty naughty.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
No one has ever said anything to us about the podcast,
So I think the I think our podcast introduction is
whatever we make it until we're told otherwise, until we're.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Got off, and like it's not playing in kids and
cars time and miss.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Your appearent who was like those mad p are very wholesome.
I'll put on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Do that?
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Do that?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Dear dream mom? What's a crack hole? What's a finger?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
We acceive a very wholesome show. Coming up, we talk
about refusing to adopt new technology? Are you still living
in the Stone Ages?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
That was great? Plus the legiond himself Christian Cullen is
joining us on the show. Does he remember my encounter
with him when I was eleven years old? We get
the definitive answer page our chat with him?
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Maybe me really like him.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah, he's great. He's great. And can I say, if
you have not been watching Celebrity Ties Island and you're
in New Zealand and are able to do so, go
catch up because he is a standout character this season.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
So all of that are more coming up than the podcast.
Enjoy and don't forget to flock us a little DM
on drive Instagram. Yeah, we love how what's going on?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
We love hearing from you.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
We love hearing from you. All right, enjoy bye the podcast.
I had to ask you because I need to make
this break a little bit more exciting because I realized
the topic at hand is not the most riveting for
everyone I know.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
But we're talking about water blasters and PJ just said
before we came on here to well produce the sire.
Do you have a water blast of soundfeit? What does
what does a water blast the sound offeat sound like
in your mind? In your well?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Just I just feel like it would be one of
those really satisfying things. You know how people watch videos
on a repeat of water blasting? Have you found one,
serru foumine in the system. It's two minutes long. I
don't know what, Just play it. Just play it. Here
we go. Oh my god, it's from the beginning of
when they turned it on. Do you hear the water?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah? I do.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
What's a lawnmower?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
It sounds like a lawnmark anyway. Okay, it's not going
to add to my sorrow, but I just you gotta work.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
With what you've got it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
So this time yesterday on the show, I was saying
I had been bowled over the weekend and went to
the hardware store without my husband, and I thought, I
taking upon myself to get ready for spring. You know,
there's a lot of things to do around the house
in the garden, and our steps aren't going to clean themselves.
So I went in and very smugly purchased a water blaster.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Now, had you had a conversation with BJ before you went.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Kind of kind of and he was kind of like,
we don't need one, We've got one on the farm.
And I said, you've got one on the farm and
it takes forever. We need one that's quick and snappy.
I'm not here. Do you know if with swimmeters.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I just wouldn't trust myself to make a purchase like
that without consulting with you. Know what would have happened.
I would have gone to Bunnings to buy it, and
then I would have walked in and I would have
taken about thirty photographs and see them to Ryan, and
I thought, that's stru.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I can do this. I'm a thirty four year old woman.
I can buy a water blaster on my own. So
I did, and yesterday I literally spent the morning setting
it up. And then it was sort of the final
part that I couldn't actually connect to the hoes. The
hoes went a little bit dott. I just leapt it
there on the deck for my husband to come home.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
In fact, that's kind of a key element, is connecting
the huts.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Guys, Houston, we have a problem. There was one key
element cue the water plastic sound effect. There was one
key component that I forgot to ask the guy at
the store. We live off grid, and we have to
(10:25):
be really conscious with the power that we use, and
so you know, there's so many things we can't do,
so we have to take the gas option. In many scenarios,
this was a fifteen hundred war machine and Bejo's like,
are you serious, It's going to just drain out power
within ten seconds? You have to take that back. Have
(10:47):
you got the receipt? I did the receipt, but I've
taken No, I've got the receipt, but I've taken everything
out and taken out even like the booklet is messed
up because it's a little bit weird, So like, can
I take it back like that?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Well, what you can do is you can try your
best or box it up, give it to them, exchange
it and hope that they don't do a quick open
up the box and check it before you do a
runner from the store.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Guys, this is why I can't go to the harvest.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
I might see it be leave it to beach Man
and the podcast.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
So we were well. I was traveling over the weekend
in a small little plane out of Palmerston North and
then out gosh, she was a bumpy ride back in What.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Do you first of all, key question, do you always
get a snack when they offer you a snack on
the plane?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Not always? Because tell you what, they've started mixing it
up right. I don't know if this is the small
regional plane, but they come out with this like lemon
meringue popcorn. Now, I don't know about you, but that's
not something that's usually on my regular menu and then
like a little blisspikee. But you know, it just depends,
it depends. But if the cookie's going, I'm.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Usually I'll always say to the cookie. And so for
the first time, even the other day, I turned down
the snack because they didn't have what I wanted.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Was it thely memory flavored popcorn?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Might have been the popcorn. I just want to cook.
I just want a cookie. I want to keep it.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Sometimes all you want anyway. But as I was boarding
the flight, you know, you can't help but notice just
peering into people's lives as you walk down the aisle,
going what are they doing, what are they reading? What
are they looking at? And just me people, I thought
you own devices. You know, just like to see if
(12:32):
you know anyone, because like when you're on a flight
in New Zealand, more often than not you do know someone,
or there's like a second cousin or something.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
A is like, don't bloody look at my phone reading?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Well Jane and eight A she wasn't on a phone.
This is why I couldn't help. But look, I noticed
something from the Stone ages, something from prehistoric times. Jane
was rocking and an Ipodno havocus. She was rocking in
iPod nano what And I was like, hang about those
(13:07):
things still work? Like I can't remember what I did
with my iPod. But in that moment, I had serious
technology envy because remember the good old days. Oh yeah,
I could literally just have music on a player and
not get distracted by notifications or emails or anything else
that pops up. She was just in a world of
her favorite tunes. Bliss.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I love that. I can't even remember how iPod Nano's
iPod worked.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Did you you turned on the middle button, didn't you? Yes,
the middle button. You pushed that down and then the
Apple icon would come.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Out, and would you download music? Would you buy music?
And it would just appear on your iPod?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Oh god, yes, So you do it through Oh my god,
this is like a step by step. So you go
through iTunes and then you put the connection cord through
into the little USB. But just took me back, man,
and now I really want to find my iPod. I was.
I was, you know, I was envious of Jane on
(14:08):
that flight that day, and it got me thinking, are
there people out there who were refusing to adopt modern technology.
Are you doing your Dane and you're like, scraw, I'm
not going to update. I'm not going to have the
latest iPhone. Maybe you're still on a Nokia twenty two eighty.
Maybe you're still regularly using the fax machine.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
My parents have only just got rid of their landline.
They've had the landline for the longest time.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
That's a generational thing, and I think it's like a
small like you guys from Queenstown. I feel like it's
like small town, rural kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I've still got. They still had the same number that
we had that I had growing up.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Oh Waite hundred hats. Maybe it's you, or maybe it's
someone you know. Are you still living in the stone angers,
Stone ages and refusing to adopt new technology? Many in
the podcast, I was on a fly on the weekend
and I couldn't help but notice a lady was rocking
an iPod Nano like the small little ones. They came
(15:07):
out after the iPod, didn't they and then they ended
up being really popular. I still rocked the big one,
although then after a while it just started getting slow
and it would always freeze up. I want the next song.
But it did get us thinking, are you someone who
refuses to adopt new technology or you know someone who
was like, screwup. No, I'm sticking with the og man.
(15:30):
We've got Catherine joining us one hundred hits. Hi Catherine, Hello,
afternoon afternoon.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
So my old technology that I have is I've got
a old like Phillip's MP three player, and it's at
least ten years old or possibly more, and I just
still use it for long car rides and mainly because
so on that you can't really change the volume or
skipt the songs otherwise. Otherwise the battery just go right
(16:01):
down last for at least like six or eight hours
if you leave it alone. As soon as you start
pressing things, it's got like half an hour back.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Really does that mean, though, Catherine, you've memorized the entire
do you know exactly which order every song goes in?
Speaker 6 (16:19):
Yeah, you can put it on shuffle, but I feel
like it still doesn't have a similar order.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I love it.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
It's really good for the car rides because I just
hook it up, press play and I'm not touching anything anyway.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah, but your phone does that?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Your phone does well, You're fine, it does.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
I I just like on my like nineties, two thousands
of music I keep on there, so it's just fair enough, shoulders.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
You can still listen to that music on Spotify.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
But if you if you want to stick with the
old technology, stick with it.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Ryan's joining us. What old school technology are you still rocking?
Speaker 4 (16:59):
I don't over really counts but in voice singing, So
most people nowadays just in email and voices. But I
still write mine out with in of paper.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Cute.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I love that, And you send it in the mail.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Usually I'm on site on a job, so I'll just
put it in the letter box, or could just hand
it to the people.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Do you do a little like smarty? Do you do
a little little smiley face or anything on your voices
as well?
Speaker 7 (17:26):
Right?
Speaker 8 (17:26):
No, I should.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Why why do you still do it? Like surely it
be easier to do the other way.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
I'm just old. Yeah, learn learn new stuff and.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Personal touch to personal to try and personally touch. Yeah,
thank you, I.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Think so much. You call it's got a Lada handre
the hacks? What about you landa? What technology are you
refusing to adopt?
Speaker 7 (17:54):
So it's not me, it's my dad. So he's taking
his little ottle self on his little soft feet to
the post office to pay his utilities because he doesn't
just banks, he won't do technologies, so he won't do
online payments or even put the money in the bank
to make the payments. So his little old souphy walk
into the local post office to pay and.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Have you do You have regularly frustrating conversations where you go, Dad,
it would just be so much easier, or have you
given up? You've given up? Alanna, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
We have tried to show him how to use the
technology and it just it just doesn't go in and it.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
Seems, oh my gosh.
Speaker 7 (18:34):
Yeah, He's like, well, if I go to the post office,
at least I know it's definitely paid, I get a stamp.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
It's probably a highlight. It's probably a highlight of his weake.
It becomes a bit of an event, you know, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (18:49):
The post office person.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
The podcast of the Heads.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Alright e. We do bettle of the hits on the
show every week and basically we're given an artist or
a theme. Emedie and I have to come to the
table with what we believe is the best song for
said fmale artists. Now this week, inspired by our whole
ball that we're going to be throwing all thanks to Zine.
(19:22):
We thought that let's start talking about the songs that
get people on the de floor. What is the best?
Are we gonna call it defloor party hall banger?
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Yeah, just the song that's going to get you up
and dancing at a all.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Ball Okay, because I have got mine. This is not
a typical song. I mean, I know people are going
to think like You're the Voice by John Farnham or
Summer of sixty nine.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Nah.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I want something that is underrated and not played nearly enough.
But when you hear this song, you will get up
and boogie and you'll be hit with a massive dose
of dope. And My single as a song by an
English rock band, released as the third single from their
debut studio album, Permission to Land. When released as a single,
(20:11):
it peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart
and in New Zealand became a top ten hit. If
you have seen the Bridget Jones franchise, you may remember
the song popping up in the film Bridget Jones The
Edge of Reason in a fight scene. My single this
Way from the Darkness is I Believe in a think
(20:33):
called Love weekend text pj to for forty eight seven
if you would like to vote for me that far good.
There's such a banger. Please New Zealand, please win it.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
It's a good song, but I'm taking you back all
the way back to nineteen seventy nine.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
This track was released from this group's Greatest Hits album
and has become synonymous with this iconic, iconic group. And
every time you hear the chorus, you cannot help but
(21:23):
get on the dance floor and dance. We played this
at our wedding and it went off. I'm gonna leave
it there. I'm gonna let the song speaks for itself.
My pick for Battle of the Hits Horball Edition is
Abbas Gimme, Gimme, gimme.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I thought you were going to do dancing clean and
before that, I thought We're gonna do come on, Ileane.
I was like the two.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
So now you have to decide. New Zealand I.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Believe in a thing called love by the Darkness or
Abbas Gimme, gimme gimme. Who do you want to vote
for for this week's Battle of the Hits dance Floor
Banger Edition? You can call right now in fact, please

Speaker 3 (22:36):
Maddy J. Maddy and PJ the podcast The Heads Battles

Speaker 1 (22:46):
All right, Our Battle of the Hets this week is
inspired by harle ball that we are throwing all thanks
to rezenm Color Shops. We are coming to the rescue
to freshen up your town hall and then of course
throw a massive ball in it to celebrate. If you've
got a hale in mind and your local town, your
local community, head along to the hat stock co dot
z it to register now. Okay, so we're coming to
(23:08):
the table this week with dance floor bangers, those songs
that get people onto the dance floor at a party,
at a ball, you name it. Maddy and I have
come to the table with what we believe are the best.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
And so I think here's the thing. Not only will
that song be played out and it's entirely on our
show today, we need to guarantee that that song is
added to the playlist for our whole ball.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yep, that's a promise. It is a promise. Now, Producer Sia,
we just need to go to you for stats quickly.
The overall leader bors how is Battle of the Hits
twenty twenty four going now.
Speaker 5 (23:44):
I know I said this last week that it was

but I have just do one more chick. I was
wrong last week, but iwhere I have double checked everything.
I promise this is the last time I will mark
them up. And the scores right now and I'm not lying.
The scores right now are sitting at thirteen. Seriously, I've
(24:07):
got all the proof of every single week.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
Okay, Okay, So my single this week to get people
on the D floor was actually in the news this
week because Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey were blatantly singing
along to her at the US Open the Darkness. I
believe in a thing called love.

It's good, but mine is ever's absolute banger. Gimme, gimme, gimmey.

Speaker 3 (26:37):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and PJ the podcast The Heads.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
And actually Mom and Dad are on a bit of
a road trip at the moment. They've got hired a
camper van overseas and they're traveling around Portugal in a
camper van at the moment.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Good for them on the spin the kids inheritance, that's
what I say.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Well, you know, a little bit so easy, A little
bit for Maddy McClean over here wouldn't be too No,
I don't know. I have more for it. Go spend
your money and have some fun. So they're overseas having
a little bit of a holiday at the moment. And
I got this notification from Mom saying she started like
a photo blog. She's obviously found this app or website
where you can basically upload your travel photos too. So
(27:16):
she said, if you want to follow along on our trip,
go and follow the blog and you can see the
photos that I've taken. Well, that's really cute, super cute,
And I guess you know. It is one of those
nice things where if you don't want to follow that content,
then you don't have to. But if you're eager for it,
like you know, I want to see mom and Dad's trip,
so I'm quite happy to go and have a look
(27:36):
at the photos. What I will say about Mum bless
her very young at heart. I would say, my mom,
very young at heart. You've met Tracy before, you know, she's.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Doesn't look a day over thirty five.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Very young, cannot take a bloody photo to save herself.
When I logged onto this blog, this was it was
like being on Facebook circa two thousand and eight, you know,
where you would just upload an album and every single
photo and over app that you take from your from
(28:12):
your digital camera. You just upload the whole thing to Facebook.
There was no editing whatsoever. And I don't mean editing
like actually going in and digitally enhancing the photo. I
just mean editing out photos that are bad. You would
just upload everything.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
It really was quantity over quality back.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Absolutely, and Mum seems to have taken the same mantra
because there are photos of blurry photos that she's uploaded,
photos where Dad will have his eyes closed, and I
think to myself, Mum, you don't You don't have a
disposable camera, so this isn't a situation where you're only
(28:51):
figuring this out. Once you've got the photos, you know,
printed off at the end of the thing. You know
immediately that this is a terrible photo you've take, So
you know what, take another one, say the camera again.
I stared to open his eyes and take another photo.
You don't have to upload the photo with Dad's got
his eyes closed.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Have you broken the news to her?
Speaker 2 (29:14):
You told her that the thing about Mum is she
already feels picked on by the three.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Of us with delivery.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I have to pick your moments, and I don't know
that the bluery photo uploads as the moment to pick.
But my god, Mom, just my mom.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Is the same. You think moms would be really good
at everything, right. I don't know. Maybe this is a
mouth thing and they can't take a photos, but I
swear every time I'm like, Mom, get a photo, she's
got a thumb, it's taking a photo of the sky,
or there's just a big blur on it. I don't
know what's going on. Is this a mum thing takes.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Through Maddy and PG Mady and PJ the podcast Theads
So Peace.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
You'll remember last week I was telling you about this
encounter I had when I was eleven, which has become
a core memory for me, and it involves former All
Black legend and current celebrity Tios of Island contestant Christian Cullen.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Yes, well, so he told us about this, But does
the story truly exist?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Well, it exists, it exists. It definitely happened. But the
Christian I had was does Christian remember this encounter the
way that I remember it? Because for me, it's such
a crucial part of my life. I tell the story
all the time, but I have no idea whether he
remembers it. So I went to the celebrity trio jur
Island launch party last week hoping to see him. He
wasn't there. We've been trying since then to track him
(30:36):
down and we have finally got him on the line. Hello, Christian,
there you go.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
I have second hand embarrassment for many no no, no
sation that is about to.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Be No no, no, no, no no no. Christian. You know
those core memories you have as a kid, right, I
have a core memory and it involves you, and I
just want to know whether you rem remember this encounter
at all. Okay, So when I was so, when I
was eleven, the All Blacks, involving you, you were part
(31:08):
of the Teeth, came to Queenstown where I lived, and
you did a training camp. The local newspaper ran a
competition for families to win dinner with a couple of
the All Blacks, and my best friend her family one
dinner with you and Andrew Mertins, and I got invited
(31:30):
to the dinner and we had dinner together. When I
was eleven, you taught me how to play Kings and Assholes,
the card game. And so my question is does this memory?
Do you have any memory of this whatsoever?
Speaker 8 (31:49):
I do? I do, because that's probably the one and
only time we got whatever it was auctioned off to
go to dinner. So I actually do remember that game
of that.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
This is a kiday.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Okay, you don't you don't have to be polite, Christian,
You don't have to say you remember that is a
long time ago.
Speaker 8 (32:06):
But yes, I do remember going to dinner in Queenstown.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
What merch So that that was me, Christian? You had
dinner with me?
Speaker 8 (32:15):
Wow? Well, there you go.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
So we're talking about nineteen ninety seven. I was. I
was eleven years old in ninety seven.
Speaker 8 (32:22):
Yes, yeah, yeah, I I can't actually remember, to be fair,
who was in the house, who we had it with,
but I do remember going to dinner, so.
Speaker 9 (32:30):
So remember thank you, Christian, so because that to me
now now as an adult, I think, what a crazy
thing for the local newspaper to have done, and b
for the all blacks to have said yes to you.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Guys must have thought, what the hell are we doing?
Just going to these random people's houses for dinner a
different time.
Speaker 8 (32:52):
Yeah, it was a bit random yet a different time.
But yeah, you're lucky when you got teamed up with
another teammate. I would have hated gone to dinner myself.
I was lucky I had met and he could talk
all night, So I do.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
I do have vivid memories of Mert doing most of
the talking to be fore. Christian. Okay, good. So I've
always wondered whether you would remember this encounter, and you do.
Case closed. We can put this to pe Dow.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
He remembers the night, he doesn't remember you, He remembers
the dinner.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Take that as I'll take that as a windy.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Mary J. Mady and PJ the podcast We Have Got
All Black Legend.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Christian Collen on the phone with us. Hey, Christian, while
we've got you here, let me may as well talk
the new season of CTI that you're on. How's it
all going? Do you find that you're watching the episodes
as they go to air or is it too painful
to watch?
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (34:00):
Reasonably painful because you just don't know what's coming out
and you kind of semmary member stuff that happened. And
the problem is, I've got four kids, so they all
want to sit down and watch it, so and then
you find yourself watching it with them and they're just
asking you one hundred million questions of who did that?
Was that guy doing that? And I don't particularly like
watching myself on Telly, to be honest. And it's as
(34:23):
you guys, a know, having a camera in your face
for large parts of the day is quite tough. Sometimes.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Well many one when he was on, and he was
he was a prolific crier, Christian. Will we see many
tears out of you this season?
Speaker 9 (34:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (34:37):
Like, I mean they can pull at the string zone.
I think they know how to do that. And I think, yeah,
the time goes on and when you're hungry and tired
and you know you're losing challenges and yeah, yeah, but
they know how to push.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
They but without giving anything away. Christian an amazing experience.
Did you love the time there?
Speaker 7 (34:57):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (34:57):
Look it was. I mean I got asked last and
I just pretty much said no straight away. And then
this year it took me a while because I asked
a few people that have been on it before, and
then the kids really wanted me to go on, and
then the why said yeah, because it's because the element
of it is obviously for the charities. Everyone had a
really good charity. And then one we sort of you know,
we lost my brother in law over a year and
a half ago to a brain tremor, so it was
(35:19):
pretty cool to go on there and you know, for
the brain tremor support and get a bit of awareness
for that and if we want some money, that was
great as well. But there was probably one of the
big grievings. So yeah, it was a great experience. I mean,
I'm not one for meeting new people and crowds and
be on them, you know, living off the land tipe,
but yeah, I survived.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Yeah, it has been quite funny seeing your slight fish
out of water experience so far, Christians. I can't wait
to see the rest of it, mate.
Speaker 8 (35:49):
Yeah, yeah, some people just love that stuff, like don't
and Garner he's you know, he was obviously in the
other team, but he was a man of the land.
Speaker 1 (35:57):
He loved it, which is a surprise. Hey, look, Christian,
we really appreciate you coming on today. Thank you so
much for the closure for dear Maddie and all the
best with the rest of the CTI season.
Speaker 8 (36:12):
Yeah, cheers.
Speaker 2 (36:13):
Thanks, We'll catch up for a round of kings and
arseholes soon, Christian.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
All right, Christian callen wa a legend.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Maddy and PJ, Mady and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
A big news today and it came in the form
of an Instagram update from Dave Grohl, the lead singer
of The Food Fighters, and really caught people off guard.
Dave Grohl has announced on Instagram that he has fathered
a child outside of his marriage, so essentially with a
(36:55):
woman that is not his wife.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Yeah, and so he's gone on to say, I love
my wife and children. I'm doing everything I can to
regain their trust and earn their forgiveness. We're grateful for
your consideration toward all the children involved as we move
forward together. I'll be honest, I've been on a bit
of an emotional pendulum today, swinging back and forth because
initially I heard this news, I was like, no, not Dave,
(37:20):
you know, and I felt kind of gutted, and I
was like, oh, you feel like you know a guy.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
I know and people because people really see him as
such a nice guy. He's got a really wonderful reputation.
And let's be honest, an industry that doesn't necessarily have
the best reputation when it comes to me no time.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
And I think he absolutely probably is still a really
nice guy. And you know, as the day's gone on,
I'm like, we don't know. You never know a couple
situation externally, and it's so easy to cast judgment. And
at the moment, I think the most important thing is man,
his family must be absolutely feeling it. He'll be feeling
(37:58):
worse anyone right now, feeling like an idiot.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
But also has had to come forward and say I'm
going to be a loving and supportive parent to this
new daughter that I have, this baby that.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
I have now, Oh, kick Dak. I was thinking, like, obviously,
not everyone has to make that admission on an Instagram post.
Imagine if like your everyday Average Joe blog was like,
came out on a story going hi, I've recently become
the father of a new baby daughter born outside of
my marriage and basically reveal your infidelity. Imagine if you
(38:32):
posted it as a Facebook status.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
I know, got wild. Here's where I say, Here's where
I think the takeaway is you don't know what goes
on in other people's lives. You can still be disappointed
with Dave because that is, you know, not a great
thing to have done to a family, to a wife,
to another woman in her new child as well, but
also you can also appreciate that people are human and
(38:55):
people make mistakes. I think that's where we have to
land on this.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
And I still love their music. I'm not going to
go on a full fighter's band for a while, but
you need to. But it was a shocking It was
a shocking headline to read today. It's weird how you
feel like you know someone but you're right, it's so
late and there's so much more to it.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
Many in PJ the podcast that's
The Hits Drive with Medi and PJ thanks to chimis
Wee House the Real House of Fragrances on that Hello,
welcome to the podcast. Are you stinking? Are you stinking
right now?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I did spray myself earlier, but man, I just had
got a whiff of my I'm so sorry to anyone
that's been in the studio.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
With oly same No one's here though, luckily because we're
in separate studios right now. I cuddled up to Beaje
on the cauch last night. He came out from Rugby.
I swear he was wearing links Africa.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Really he does. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
It was like it was just some potent like schoolboys deodorant,
And I felt really confused about it because.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
On the one hand, where you kind of like, all
it brings you back to a time, yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
But also I was like, that's strong man. Yeah, really
opened my nostrils. But it does do it for me sometimes.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
A bit of a do you know? It's a wonder
we were ever trected to teenage boys. They're so gross.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Girls are pretty grotty too, though, Well we can back.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
Can I just click? Can I just clarify when I
mean when I see that. I meant as a teenager
being a traded Oh, I'm digging. I'm closing the hole.
I'm closing the whole.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Do you want me to give you a segway out
of this please? You said you've got something for the podcast.
It was a little bit naughty for the show. Off
the back of that, you sound like a dodgy dog.
I just saw this article. They did a.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
They did a study in the UK about bedroom habits. Yes,
and it pinpointed all of the like desires that Brits have.
It's three and a half thousand people in the UK
about the preferences between the sheets and I just want
(02:03):
to thought.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Finger that could mean anything. That could literally mean anything
like h bite my finger. Ah that can keep going
(02:25):
Stop looking at.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Me like that, Jesus h. Anyway, the findings revealed that
one in twenty five brets one in twenty five. We're
interested in object failure, which is when a person engages
(02:48):
with a sexual or romantic relationship with an inanimate object.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Oh so you're not talking like sex toys.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
Well, it could be, but it also could be a lamp,
it could be a water bottle.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I love lamb literally. Sorry.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
The preferred objects won't specified in the report, but one
in twenty five said, yeah, I'm interested in a sexual
or romantic relationship with an inanimate object. It could be
that the majority of those were just like, yeah, I'd
be keen to try a toy, like an adult toy, but.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
I don't know. I feel like it goes deeper than
there could.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
We could do.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
What percentage of participants do you reckon would have a foot.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Fetish or hates on? Maybe like thirteen no, lowa eight eight?
Speaker 2 (03:39):
Right, yeah, eight percent of participants have a foot fetish's
back baby. Ten percent of people want to engage in something?
Do you want to take a stepment? What they want
to engage do you know want to go.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I'd say in the backdoor?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
No? No, oh?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
And inviting someone else in.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Well, it's yes in a way, not a strict threesome.
But cuck holding cock holding.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Oh, that's like an old school term from Shakespeare, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I think so it does come from olden days, but
it's kind of had this like resurgence. It's basically when
one partner kind of watches their partner engage in like
situate together with someone else and the person that's watching
becomes the.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Cuckold because they've been cuckolded.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Yeah, they've basically been like they've been almost like shamed. Yeah, emasculine,
like demasculated.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Yes, but they kind of get a kick out of it,
out of it, yeah, shame me more.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Seventeen percent of people wanted a dom in sub relationship.
So when someone is with the dominant, dom dominant, dominant
and submissive.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Yeah, okay, up.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Doesn't necessarily mean like beady. It seem like full noise.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Late, but just someone some the director say.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, yeah, but one sexual tree stands head and shoulders
above the rest. Thirty two percent, almost a third of
Brett's are interested in exploring erotic role play.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Well, erotic novels through the roof at the moment. So
that makes sense. Yeah, so is that like, is it
something from like would you just get to take on
whatever character you kind of want?
Speaker 2 (05:37):
You come up with it? Yeah, whatever it is, whatever
it is.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
Hello, I'm here, I'm your nurse.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
People already think.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
That could be fun.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
It could be.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
No, I'm saying I can be. I'm just justifying that
I'm so fun.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Right right, Or you're like freeze, you're under arrest, get
on the ground.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Why do I feel like you've done something like that before?
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Have you?
Speaker 1 (06:14):
You have you freaking have Tell me you have? And
I can imagine you with the little chaps, less chaps,
ye like leather us those chaps with a little bear.
That's too naughty for up. I don't know how naughty
we can go on the podcast. No one, We can
be pretty naughty.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
No one has ever said anything to us about the podcast,
So I think the I think our podcast introduction is
whatever we make it until we're told otherwise, until we're.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
Got off, and like it's not playing in kids and
cars time and miss.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Your appearent who was like those mad p are very wholesome.
I'll put on the podcast.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Do that?
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Do that?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Dear dream mom? What's a crack hole? What's a finger?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (07:08):
We acceive a very wholesome show. Coming up, we talk
about refusing to adopt new technology? Are you still living
in the Stone Ages?
Speaker 2 (07:15):
That was great? Plus the legiond himself Christian Cullen is
joining us on the show. Does he remember my encounter
with him when I was eleven years old? We get
the definitive answer page our chat with him?
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Maybe me really like him.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Yeah, he's great. He's great. And can I say, if
you have not been watching Celebrity Ties Island and you're
in New Zealand and are able to do so, go
catch up because he is a standout character this season.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
So all of that are more coming up than the podcast.
Enjoy and don't forget to flock us a little DM
on drive Instagram. Yeah, we love how what's going on?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
We love hearing from you.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
We love hearing from you. All right, enjoy bye the podcast.
I had to ask you because I need to make
this break a little bit more exciting because I realized
the topic at hand is not the most riveting for
everyone I know.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
But we're talking about water blasters and PJ just said
before we came on here to well produce the sire.
Do you have a water blast of soundfeit? What does
what does a water blast the sound offeat sound like
in your mind? In your well?
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Just I just feel like it would be one of
those really satisfying things. You know how people watch videos
on a repeat of water blasting? Have you found one,
serru foumine in the system. It's two minutes long. I
don't know what, Just play it. Just play it. Here
we go. Oh my god, it's from the beginning of
when they turned it on. Do you hear the water?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah? I do.
Speaker 5 (08:37):
What's a lawnmower?
Speaker 1 (08:38):
It sounds like a lawnmark anyway. Okay, it's not going
to add to my sorrow, but I just you gotta work.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
With what you've got it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
So this time yesterday on the show, I was saying
I had been bowled over the weekend and went to
the hardware store without my husband, and I thought, I
taking upon myself to get ready for spring. You know,
there's a lot of things to do around the house
in the garden, and our steps aren't going to clean themselves.
So I went in and very smugly purchased a water blaster.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Now, had you had a conversation with BJ before you went.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Kind of kind of and he was kind of like,
we don't need one, We've got one on the farm.
And I said, you've got one on the farm and
it takes forever. We need one that's quick and snappy.
I'm not here. Do you know if with swimmeters.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I just wouldn't trust myself to make a purchase like
that without consulting with you. Know what would have happened.
I would have gone to Bunnings to buy it, and
then I would have walked in and I would have
taken about thirty photographs and see them to Ryan, and
I thought, that's stru.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
I can do this. I'm a thirty four year old woman.
I can buy a water blaster on my own. So
I did, and yesterday I literally spent the morning setting
it up. And then it was sort of the final
part that I couldn't actually connect to the hoes. The
hoes went a little bit dott. I just leapt it
there on the deck for my husband to come home.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
In fact, that's kind of a key element, is connecting
the huts.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Guys, Houston, we have a problem. There was one key
element cue the water plastic sound effect. There was one
key component that I forgot to ask the guy at
the store. We live off grid, and we have to
(10:25):
be really conscious with the power that we use, and
so you know, there's so many things we can't do,
so we have to take the gas option. In many scenarios,
this was a fifteen hundred war machine and Bejo's like,
are you serious, It's going to just drain out power
within ten seconds? You have to take that back. Have
(10:47):
you got the receipt? I did the receipt, but I've
taken No, I've got the receipt, but I've taken everything
out and taken out even like the booklet is messed
up because it's a little bit weird, So like, can
I take it back like that?
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Well, what you can do is you can try your
best or box it up, give it to them, exchange
it and hope that they don't do a quick open
up the box and check it before you do a
runner from the store.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Guys, this is why I can't go to the harvest.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
I might see it be leave it to beach Man
and the podcast.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
So we were well. I was traveling over the weekend
in a small little plane out of Palmerston North and
then out gosh, she was a bumpy ride back in What.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Do you first of all, key question, do you always
get a snack when they offer you a snack on
the plane?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Not always? Because tell you what, they've started mixing it
up right. I don't know if this is the small
regional plane, but they come out with this like lemon
meringue popcorn. Now, I don't know about you, but that's
not something that's usually on my regular menu and then
like a little blisspikee. But you know, it just depends,
it depends. But if the cookie's going, I'm.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Usually I'll always say to the cookie. And so for
the first time, even the other day, I turned down
the snack because they didn't have what I wanted.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
Was it thely memory flavored popcorn?
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Might have been the popcorn. I just want to cook.
I just want a cookie. I want to keep it.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Sometimes all you want anyway. But as I was boarding
the flight, you know, you can't help but notice just
peering into people's lives as you walk down the aisle,
going what are they doing, what are they reading? What
are they looking at? And just me people, I thought
you own devices. You know, just like to see if
(12:32):
you know anyone, because like when you're on a flight
in New Zealand, more often than not you do know someone,
or there's like a second cousin or something.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
A is like, don't bloody look at my phone reading?
Speaker 1 (12:45):
Well Jane and eight A she wasn't on a phone.
This is why I couldn't help. But look, I noticed
something from the Stone ages, something from prehistoric times. Jane
was rocking and an Ipodno havocus. She was rocking in
iPod nano what And I was like, hang about those
(13:07):
things still work? Like I can't remember what I did
with my iPod. But in that moment, I had serious
technology envy because remember the good old days. Oh yeah,
I could literally just have music on a player and
not get distracted by notifications or emails or anything else
that pops up. She was just in a world of
her favorite tunes. Bliss.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
I love that. I can't even remember how iPod Nano's
iPod worked.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Did you you turned on the middle button, didn't you? Yes,
the middle button. You pushed that down and then the
Apple icon would come.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Out, and would you download music? Would you buy music?
And it would just appear on your iPod?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Oh god, yes, So you do it through Oh my god,
this is like a step by step. So you go
through iTunes and then you put the connection cord through
into the little USB. But just took me back, man,
and now I really want to find my iPod. I was.
I was, you know, I was envious of Jane on
(14:08):
that flight that day, and it got me thinking, are
there people out there who were refusing to adopt modern technology.
Are you doing your Dane and you're like, scraw, I'm
not going to update. I'm not going to have the
latest iPhone. Maybe you're still on a Nokia twenty two eighty.
Maybe you're still regularly using the fax machine.
Speaker 2 (14:27):
My parents have only just got rid of their landline.
They've had the landline for the longest time.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
That's a generational thing, and I think it's like a
small like you guys from Queenstown. I feel like it's
like small town, rural kind of thing.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I've still got. They still had the same number that
we had that I had growing up.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
Oh Waite hundred hats. Maybe it's you, or maybe it's
someone you know. Are you still living in the stone angers,
Stone ages and refusing to adopt new technology? Many in
the podcast, I was on a fly on the weekend
and I couldn't help but notice a lady was rocking
an iPod Nano like the small little ones. They came
(15:07):
out after the iPod, didn't they and then they ended
up being really popular. I still rocked the big one,
although then after a while it just started getting slow
and it would always freeze up. I want the next song.
But it did get us thinking, are you someone who
refuses to adopt new technology or you know someone who
was like, screwup. No, I'm sticking with the og man.
(15:30):
We've got Catherine joining us one hundred hits. Hi Catherine, Hello,
afternoon afternoon.
Speaker 6 (15:39):
So my old technology that I have is I've got
a old like Phillip's MP three player, and it's at
least ten years old or possibly more, and I just
still use it for long car rides and mainly because
so on that you can't really change the volume or
skipt the songs otherwise. Otherwise the battery just go right
(16:01):
down last for at least like six or eight hours
if you leave it alone. As soon as you start
pressing things, it's got like half an hour back.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Really does that mean, though, Catherine, you've memorized the entire
do you know exactly which order every song goes in?
Speaker 6 (16:19):
Yeah, you can put it on shuffle, but I feel
like it still doesn't have a similar order.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
I love it.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
It's really good for the car rides because I just
hook it up, press play and I'm not touching anything anyway.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Yeah, but your phone does that?
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Your phone does well, You're fine, it does.
Speaker 6 (16:38):
I I just like on my like nineties, two thousands
of music I keep on there, so it's just fair enough, shoulders.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
You can still listen to that music on Spotify.
Speaker 2 (16:49):
But if you if you want to stick with the
old technology, stick with it.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Ryan's joining us. What old school technology are you still rocking?
Speaker 4 (16:59):
I don't over really counts but in voice singing, So
most people nowadays just in email and voices. But I
still write mine out with in of paper.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Cute.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
I love that, And you send it in the mail.
Speaker 4 (17:15):
Usually I'm on site on a job, so I'll just
put it in the letter box, or could just hand
it to the people.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Do you do a little like smarty? Do you do
a little little smiley face or anything on your voices
as well?
Speaker 7 (17:26):
Right?
Speaker 8 (17:26):
No, I should.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
Why why do you still do it? Like surely it
be easier to do the other way.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
I'm just old. Yeah, learn learn new stuff and.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
Personal touch to personal to try and personally touch. Yeah,
thank you, I.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Think so much. You call it's got a Lada handre
the hacks? What about you landa? What technology are you
refusing to adopt?
Speaker 7 (17:54):
So it's not me, it's my dad. So he's taking
his little ottle self on his little soft feet to
the post office to pay his utilities because he doesn't
just banks, he won't do technologies, so he won't do
online payments or even put the money in the bank
to make the payments. So his little old souphy walk
into the local post office to pay and.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
Have you do You have regularly frustrating conversations where you go, Dad,
it would just be so much easier, or have you
given up? You've given up? Alanna, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 7 (18:26):
We have tried to show him how to use the
technology and it just it just doesn't go in and it.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
Seems, oh my gosh.
Speaker 7 (18:34):
Yeah, He's like, well, if I go to the post office,
at least I know it's definitely paid, I get a stamp.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
It's probably a highlight. It's probably a highlight of his weake.
It becomes a bit of an event, you know, Yeah.
Speaker 7 (18:49):
The post office person.
Speaker 3 (18:52):
The podcast of the Heads.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Alright e. We do bettle of the hits on the
show every week and basically we're given an artist or
a theme. Emedie and I have to come to the
table with what we believe is the best song for
said fmale artists. Now this week, inspired by our whole
ball that we're going to be throwing all thanks to Zine.
(19:22):
We thought that let's start talking about the songs that
get people on the de floor. What is the best?
Are we gonna call it defloor party hall banger?
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Yeah, just the song that's going to get you up
and dancing at a all.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Ball Okay, because I have got mine. This is not
a typical song. I mean, I know people are going
to think like You're the Voice by John Farnham or
Summer of sixty nine.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
Nah.
Speaker 1 (19:49):
I want something that is underrated and not played nearly enough.
But when you hear this song, you will get up
and boogie and you'll be hit with a massive dose
of dope. And My single as a song by an
English rock band, released as the third single from their
debut studio album, Permission to Land. When released as a single,
(20:11):
it peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart
and in New Zealand became a top ten hit. If
you have seen the Bridget Jones franchise, you may remember
the song popping up in the film Bridget Jones The
Edge of Reason in a fight scene. My single this
Way from the Darkness is I Believe in a think
(20:33):
called Love weekend text pj to for forty eight seven
if you would like to vote for me that far good.
There's such a banger. Please New Zealand, please win it.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
It's a good song, but I'm taking you back all
the way back to nineteen seventy nine.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Oh.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
This track was released from this group's Greatest Hits album
and has become synonymous with this iconic, iconic group. And
every time you hear the chorus, you cannot help but
(21:23):
get on the dance floor and dance. We played this
at our wedding and it went off. I'm gonna leave
it there. I'm gonna let the song speaks for itself.
My pick for Battle of the Hits Horball Edition is
Abbas Gimme, Gimme, gimme.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I thought you were going to do dancing clean and
before that, I thought We're gonna do come on, Ileane.
I was like the two.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
So now you have to decide. New Zealand I.
Speaker 1 (22:05):

All right, Our Battle of the Hets this week is
inspired by harle ball that we are throwing all thanks
to rezenm Color Shops. We are coming to the rescue
to freshen up your town hall and then of course
throw a massive ball in it to celebrate. If you've

(23:08):
the table this week with dance floor bangers, those songs
that get people onto the dance floor at a party,
at a ball, you name it. Maddy and I have
come to the table with what we believe are the best.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
And so I think here's the thing. Not only will
that song be played out and it's entirely on our
show today, we need to guarantee that that song is
added to the playlist for our whole ball.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yep, that's a promise. It is a promise. Now, Producer Sia,
we just need to go to you for stats quickly.
The overall leader bors how is Battle of the Hits
twenty twenty four going now.
Speaker 5 (23:44):

quote the last time I will not mark up the scores,
but I have just do one more chick. I was
wrong last week, but iwhere I have double checked everything.
I promise this is the last time I will mark
them up. And the scores right now and I'm not lying.

(24:07):
got all the proof of every single week.
Speaker 1 (24:09):

on the D floor was actually in the news this
week because Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey were blatantly singing
along to her at the US Open the Darkness. I

the feeling sage of making Me.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and PJ the podcast The Heads.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
And actually Mom and Dad are on a bit of
a road trip at the moment. They've got hired a
camper van overseas and they're traveling around Portugal in a
camper van at the moment.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
Good for them on the spin the kids inheritance, that's
what I say.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Well, you know, a little bit so easy, A little
bit for Maddy McClean over here wouldn't be too No,
I don't know. I have more for it. Go spend
your money and have some fun. So they're overseas having
a little bit of a holiday at the moment. And
I got this notification from Mom saying she started like
a photo blog. She's obviously found this app or website
where you can basically upload your travel photos too. So
(27:16):
she said, if you want to follow along on our trip,
go and follow the blog and you can see the
photos that I've taken. Well, that's really cute, super cute,
And I guess you know. It is one of those
nice things where if you don't want to follow that content,
then you don't have to. But if you're eager for it,
like you know, I want to see mom and Dad's trip,
so I'm quite happy to go and have a look
(27:36):
at the photos. What I will say about Mum bless
her very young at heart. I would say, my mom,
very young at heart. You've met Tracy before, you know, she's.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Doesn't look a day over thirty five.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Very young, cannot take a bloody photo to save herself.
When I logged onto this blog, this was it was
like being on Facebook circa two thousand and eight, you know,
where you would just upload an album and every single
photo and over app that you take from your from
(28:12):
your digital camera. You just upload the whole thing to Facebook.
There was no editing whatsoever. And I don't mean editing
like actually going in and digitally enhancing the photo. I
just mean editing out photos that are bad. You would
just upload everything.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
It really was quantity over quality back.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Absolutely, and Mum seems to have taken the same mantra
because there are photos of blurry photos that she's uploaded,
photos where Dad will have his eyes closed, and I
think to myself, Mum, you don't You don't have a
disposable camera, so this isn't a situation where you're only
(28:51):
figuring this out. Once you've got the photos, you know,
printed off at the end of the thing. You know
immediately that this is a terrible photo you've take, So
you know what, take another one, say the camera again.
I stared to open his eyes and take another photo.
You don't have to upload the photo with Dad's got
his eyes closed.
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Have you broken the news to her?
Speaker 2 (29:14):
You told her that the thing about Mum is she
already feels picked on by the three.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Of us with delivery.
Speaker 2 (29:21):
I have to pick your moments, and I don't know
that the bluery photo uploads as the moment to pick.
But my god, Mom, just my mom.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
Is the same. You think moms would be really good
at everything, right. I don't know. Maybe this is a
mouth thing and they can't take a photos, but I
swear every time I'm like, Mom, get a photo, she's
got a thumb, it's taking a photo of the sky,
or there's just a big blur on it. I don't
know what's going on. Is this a mum thing takes.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
Through Maddy and PG Mady and PJ the podcast Theads
So Peace.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
You'll remember last week I was telling you about this
encounter I had when I was eleven, which has become
a core memory for me, and it involves former All
Black legend and current celebrity Tios of Island contestant Christian Cullen.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Yes, well, so he told us about this, But does
the story truly exist?
Speaker 2 (30:15):
Well, it exists, it exists. It definitely happened. But the
Christian I had was does Christian remember this encounter the
way that I remember it? Because for me, it's such
a crucial part of my life. I tell the story
all the time, but I have no idea whether he
remembers it. So I went to the celebrity trio jur
Island launch party last week hoping to see him. He
wasn't there. We've been trying since then to track him
(30:36):
down and we have finally got him on the line. Hello, Christian,
there you go.
Speaker 1 (30:44):
I have second hand embarrassment for many no no, no
sation that is about to.
Speaker 2 (30:48):
Be No no, no, no, no no no. Christian. You know
those core memories you have as a kid, right, I
have a core memory and it involves you, and I
just want to know whether you rem remember this encounter
at all. Okay, So when I was so, when I
was eleven, the All Blacks, involving you, you were part
(31:08):
of the Teeth, came to Queenstown where I lived, and
you did a training camp. The local newspaper ran a
competition for families to win dinner with a couple of
the All Blacks, and my best friend her family one
dinner with you and Andrew Mertins, and I got invited
(31:30):
to the dinner and we had dinner together. When I
was eleven, you taught me how to play Kings and Assholes,
the card game. And so my question is does this memory?
Do you have any memory of this whatsoever?
Speaker 8 (31:49):
I do? I do, because that's probably the one and
only time we got whatever it was auctioned off to
go to dinner. So I actually do remember that game
of that.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
This is a kiday.
Speaker 1 (31:59):
Okay, you don't you don't have to be polite, Christian,
You don't have to say you remember that is a
long time ago.
Speaker 8 (32:06):
But yes, I do remember going to dinner in Queenstown.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
What merch So that that was me, Christian? You had
dinner with me?
Speaker 8 (32:15):
Wow? Well, there you go.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
So we're talking about nineteen ninety seven. I was. I
was eleven years old in ninety seven.
Speaker 8 (32:22):
Yes, yeah, yeah, I I can't actually remember, to be fair,
who was in the house, who we had it with,
but I do remember going to dinner, so.
Speaker 9 (32:30):
So remember thank you, Christian, so because that to me
now now as an adult, I think, what a crazy
thing for the local newspaper to have done, and b
for the all blacks to have said yes to you.
Speaker 2 (32:45):
Guys must have thought, what the hell are we doing?
Just going to these random people's houses for dinner a
different time.
Speaker 8 (32:52):
Yeah, it was a bit random yet a different time.
But yeah, you're lucky when you got teamed up with
another teammate. I would have hated gone to dinner myself.
I was lucky I had met and he could talk
all night, So I do.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
I do have vivid memories of Mert doing most of
the talking to be fore. Christian. Okay, good. So I've
always wondered whether you would remember this encounter, and you do.
Case closed. We can put this to pe Dow.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
He remembers the night, he doesn't remember you, He remembers
the dinner.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Take that as I'll take that as a windy.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
Mary J. Mady and PJ the podcast We Have Got
All Black Legend.
Speaker 1 (33:45):
Christian Collen on the phone with us. Hey, Christian, while
we've got you here, let me may as well talk
the new season of CTI that you're on. How's it
all going? Do you find that you're watching the episodes
as they go to air or is it too painful
to watch?
Speaker 2 (33:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (34:00):
Reasonably painful because you just don't know what's coming out
and you kind of semmary member stuff that happened. And
the problem is, I've got four kids, so they all
want to sit down and watch it, so and then
you find yourself watching it with them and they're just
asking you one hundred million questions of who did that?
Was that guy doing that? And I don't particularly like
watching myself on Telly, to be honest. And it's as
(34:23):
you guys, a know, having a camera in your face
for large parts of the day is quite tough. Sometimes.
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Well many one when he was on, and he was
he was a prolific crier, Christian. Will we see many
tears out of you this season?
Speaker 9 (34:36):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (34:37):
Like, I mean they can pull at the string zone.
I think they know how to do that. And I think, yeah,
the time goes on and when you're hungry and tired
and you know you're losing challenges and yeah, yeah, but
they know how to push.
Speaker 2 (34:51):
They but without giving anything away. Christian an amazing experience.
Did you love the time there?
Speaker 7 (34:57):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (34:57):
Look it was. I mean I got asked last and
I just pretty much said no straight away. And then
this year it took me a while because I asked
a few people that have been on it before, and
then the kids really wanted me to go on, and
then the why said yeah, because it's because the element
of it is obviously for the charities. Everyone had a
really good charity. And then one we sort of you know,
we lost my brother in law over a year and
a half ago to a brain tremor, so it was
(35:19):
pretty cool to go on there and you know, for
the brain tremor support and get a bit of awareness
for that and if we want some money, that was
great as well. But there was probably one of the
big grievings. So yeah, it was a great experience. I mean,
I'm not one for meeting new people and crowds and
be on them, you know, living off the land tipe,
but yeah, I survived.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Yeah, it has been quite funny seeing your slight fish
out of water experience so far, Christians. I can't wait
to see the rest of it, mate.
Speaker 8 (35:49):
Yeah, yeah, some people just love that stuff, like don't
and Garner he's you know, he was obviously in the
other team, but he was a man of the land.

Speaker 2 (36:31):
A big news today and it came in the form
of an Instagram update from Dave Grohl, the lead singer
of The Food Fighters, and really caught people off guard.
Dave Grohl has announced on Instagram that he has fathered
a child outside of his marriage, so essentially with a
(36:55):
woman that is not his wife.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
Yeah, and so he's gone on to say, I love
my wife and children. I'm doing everything I can to
regain their trust and earn their forgiveness. We're grateful for
your consideration toward all the children involved as we move
forward together. I'll be honest, I've been on a bit
of an emotional pendulum today, swinging back and forth because
initially I heard this news, I was like, no, not Dave,
(37:20):
you know, and I felt kind of gutted, and I
was like, oh, you feel like you know a guy.
Speaker 2 (37:24):
I know and people because people really see him as
such a nice guy. He's got a really wonderful reputation.
And let's be honest, an industry that doesn't necessarily have
the best reputation when it comes to me no time.
Speaker 1 (37:37):
And I think he absolutely probably is still a really
nice guy. And you know, as the day's gone on,
I'm like, we don't know. You never know a couple
situation externally, and it's so easy to cast judgment. And
at the moment, I think the most important thing is man,
his family must be absolutely feeling it. He'll be feeling
(37:58):
worse anyone right now, feeling like an idiot.
Speaker 2 (38:02):
But also has had to come forward and say I'm
going to be a loving and supportive parent to this
new daughter that I have, this baby that.
Speaker 1 (38:11):
I have now, Oh, kick Dak. I was thinking, like, obviously,
not everyone has to make that admission on an Instagram post.
Imagine if like your everyday Average Joe blog was like,
came out on a story going hi, I've recently become
the father of a new baby daughter born outside of
my marriage and basically reveal your infidelity. Imagine if you
(38:32):
posted it as a Facebook status.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
I know, got wild. Here's where I say, Here's where
I think the takeaway is you don't know what goes
on in other people's lives. You can still be disappointed
with Dave because that is, you know, not a great
thing to have done to a family, to a wife,
to another woman in her new child as well, but
also you can also appreciate that people are human and
(38:55):
people make mistakes. I think that's where we have to
land on this.
Speaker 1 (38:59):
And I still love their music. I'm not going to
go on a full fighter's band for a while, but
you need to. But it was a shocking It was
a shocking headline to read today. It's weird how you
feel like you know someone but you're right, it's so
late and there's so much more to it.
