Hi, Hi, It's been a day for two of us.
But you know what, well done us little on the
bed for you and I because we pulled it together
and we came in and we did the mahy. We
did the work.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
We did the mahi, we did the work. Your day,
I'd say, was actually worse than mine, because yours has
kind of affected you for more of the day than mine.
Was just like a moment of sheer panic and everything
was okay, but it was more like a shit shit
could have gone real bad, real fast.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Yeah, mine is ongoing. In fact, I had actually I
just had a text from the plumber to takeing me
a call and I'll fill you in on the situation.
I've got an issue with my pipes, which you will
hear about on the show today.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Usually you love, Sorry, you took the ram with it,
and well done.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
We've got a day tomorrow.

I got the whole ball at Hall, which is going
to be a lot of fun. So I'm going to
be on the flight early in the morning.

Yeah, you're gonna long day you're.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Gonna hit the road, right m hmm, can I can?
I say? One thing is if only we had according membership.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Oh honestly, because what was the conversation earlier in the year.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
It was you need to get or twelve flights?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
I think it was ten.
Speaker 1 (01:37):

I haven't taken me. I'm going to I'm going to
peggyback off you, So peggyback.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Them save the save the company money, wouldn't it. Yeah,
we're filling ourselves up on Krantzkes And oh my.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
God, there used to be my weakness in there that
used to get me when we used to travel a bit.
Back in the old days, call a membership was handed
out a lot easier than what it is.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
It's harder. But I think if maybe we need to
work on this, maybe we need.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
To what like a good perch, because you and I
don't have the most convincing arguments and slight.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
I would say we come in guns blazing, you and I.
We're going in strong and United, and we're going to
get this done and then we're pushing it.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
You know, you're right, You're right, You're right, you're right.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Sorry, yeah, yeah, totally yeah. No, I want to ask again.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I want to say that that's us in the past.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You reckon, we've changed.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
No, I'm saying we should moving forward. Let's stand our ground.
Suppose we'll be more relcted, employees will be better fed,
We'll have more time to prepare for our show.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
There's so many things, so let's work on our pitch.
If anyone has any ideas, if anyone thinks, actually I know,
I know how to pitch this, please get in touch
with us because maybe we need to make a proper
formal pitch to the boss at some point.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Okay, I like the sound of that.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I mean, it's not gonna We're not going to get

No, it's really hoping for a I fucking love a
club sandwich.

already giving them free promotion.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Oh are you saying we should get in New Zealand
to just hand them out to us.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Maybe let's just go direct to the bult man.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
That's not a bad idea.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Let's just get it done show them. Hey, all right, well,
if you guys aren't willing to play game, we'll make
it happen.
Speaker 1 (04:41):

I'd give them, I'd give them if i'd give them
the plug once a week.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Every time I'm there, every time i'm there, I'd selfie
me with the coffee.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yes, you know how you get the little receiving name
on it.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I'd post that, like, we sound so desperated, so spread,
and for what really for what I know, do you
know what chances are we'll be late to the airport,
so we won't even to use the indulge in the
luxuries of the quarter loud.
Speaker 3 (05:12):

of the scrambled eggs.
Speaker 1 (05:27):

to They've got like a whole fruit bar, they've got
the porge and.
Speaker 3 (05:43):

Speaker 2 (05:47):
But here's what I'm gonna say, leave it with us.

drains as I said, So we asked you what was
the hardest thing about being an adult that got fun?
Speaker 2 (06:15):

was second from disaster. We took your stories, which did
not disappoint, that's for sure. It was a very fun show.
Enjoy the podcast, Many and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 6 (06:33):
That's Mady and Pj's whole ball with the Razine and.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
We have got one sleep to go until our whole ball.
It is going down at Temata Public Hall and it
is all thanks to our mates at Razine Color Shops.
If you need inspiration, you can view the color and
wallpaper library your local raisine color shop and take home
your favorite colors to try with Razine test pods page.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
This is going to be my first ever community hall
party and I am so excited. I'm ready. I'm ready
for a blowout.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
You are in for a treat, my friend.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
So yeah, obviously we're giving the place to spruce up
all thanks to Raziling Color Shops, and then we are
throwing a massive party tomorrow night. Now, there have been
some incredible people that have nominated tem Mutter Hall at
the Stockholo ins Ears, and we really wanted to track
down a lovely man called Wayne, who has been dubbed
the unofficial Maya of tim Mutter. He joins us, Now, Wayne.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Good afternoon, Hello, Hell are we very well Wayne?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Wow?
Speaker 6 (07:36):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
And how's the community of Timutta? More importantly, Oh, we're.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
Going good, guys, We're going good. Think it he is, guys,
and razeem for putting us on. It's just another awesome
event that's going to be held in a local little
hall that gets used quite often.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Now what does this mean for the community, because you know,
I know that these can be like the events of
the year when you throw these parties, but you guys
come together through third son.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Is that right?
Speaker 7 (08:01):
Yeah, we do, we do. It's I think it's the
big thing with our hall is the location and it's
straight across the road from the school, and the school
use it so the junior kids get get to use
it through their life and then you sort of leave
town and you go away overseas and you come home
and then it really hits how important this community is.
And the venue. You know, it was built in nineteen
(08:23):
oh five by a guy called Wallace Thompson and he
was just out of his apprenticeship he also built the
school classroom and the the across the road at the school,
so it did them both together and its just about
putting break. But he's done an a little donking job
on them. It's just amazing, brilliant.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Now, if Walls could talk, Wayne, what do you can
I'd say in the Tomato Hall, because I'm sure there's
some stories to tell from parties gone by.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
I could almost feel the timber tongue and grew smiling
as we speak. You know, there has been some awesome parties.
There's been twenty first there has been every there's a
school production where the kids go. There's been funerals, he's
been weddings, you name it. Man, it's it's an awesome
community with an awesome hall. It's just been let go
(09:10):
a little bit, you know, so it's hanging on to history.
I mean nineteen oh five that that was built with
no powerls obviously handsaws, blacksmiths, nails. You know, the drill
man was born in the seventeen hundreds. You know, it
came from the local mountain and it's just awesome. It's
it's just a great when you walk in there, make
(09:30):
you'll feel it. It's just something that's a great place,
great community, awesome hall.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Now when we hear that you may be coming along
to the party tomorrow night, have you got your outfit
sorted yet?
Speaker 6 (09:42):
I have.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
I have actually went from bit of a shop and
I tried the old teapot and our Madison isn't going

to be honest, I'm quite excited to have my wife

Speaker 3 (09:57):
Dreaming it's goes oh god, well wait.

Speaker 2 (10:22):

to Export who are supplying.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Drinks for tomorrow night. We wouldn't be able to do
this without you.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
Many the podcast.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
That I'm actually quite nervous to tell the story that
I'm about to tell, but I can tell it because
everyone and everything is okay.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
You're fine, fine, everyone fine, okay.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
So the other day on the show, I was telling
you many about how my gorgeous, lovely, adventurous two year
old son, Charlie has a new fixation with putting our
cat and the washing machine. Like he'll just go and
hide her in different places. He'll hide her in the oven,
(11:14):
he will hide her and draws. You know, poor Jojo.
She's the most patient catle life. They have a weird
bond and they get along so well.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Gos along so well.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
So this morning was no exception. And he went in
and he put her in. Then I was like, Charlie,
come on, get Jojo out of there.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
It's not nice. We've got to get Jojo out. And
he put in a number of other.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Things, and I'm aware this is very dangerous, Like you
can't just put like tongs and stuff in the washing
machine because it will not in well. So I'm like, Charlie,
come on, like this is this is not okay. We've
got to respect Jojo. We love Jojo. Come on, let's
get her out. So we've done that. I went into
the kitchen and I was sort of and like, get ready,
for work. So I'm prepping lunch vegetabballs chicken in the
(12:05):
oven and Charlie is sort of just darting around, but
I can always sort of hear him, you know, I
know he's there.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
And then I sort of hang on, where what's this
Charlie gone? And then I hear the washing machine.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Turn on, well, not on, I can hear that it's going,
and I heard, and I'm like, hang about to hang
about Charlie. How does he know how to turn the
washing machine on? So I frantically dash to the bathroom.
(12:41):
Medio friendsically rushed to the bathroom and my darling boomes
get Josephine.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Is going.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
The washing and I stop it immediately, but it's on
the lock thing, so I can't get that straight away,
so I'm turning it off. I'm like, Charlie, what have
you done?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
And so I turn it off both and I have
to wait and excruciating you know, minute or so to
like can finally open it up.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
And get her out.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
She's frazzled, but she's okay at the water hadn't even
gotten yet, but she'd had a good warm up in
the washing machine.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Thank god.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
I heard the washing machine when I did because I
have heard some horror stories of what can happen, and
I genuinely felt like such a bad mum, a cat mum,
all of the above and one.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
It just happened so fast.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I don't even know he knew how to operate the
washing machine, or should he.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
He's two years old. Most boys, most twenty year old
boys don't even know how to use a washing machine.
And your two year old to use it?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Curision, how that could have ended? I couldn't believe it.
So anyway, Jojo the cat was okay. Charlie got a
little bit of a telling off. We've had to tell him, Charlie,
you cannot put Josephine and the washing machine. I've had
to unplug the washing machine. It will never be plugged
now when I'm not in the room. I was seconds
(14:06):
from disaster.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Right, truly, truly, that could have gone so badly in
so many different ways.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Many and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I've just opened up about a pretty traumatic story in
my household this morning. I toddler is fixated on the
washing machine at the moment and taking my cat in there.
What I didn't realize was that he could actually activate
the washing machine. And get it started. So he did
that whilst our cat was in there. Luckily I heard
it must have been within the first minute, because when
I walked in, the cat was going round, but she
(14:40):
hadn't got wet, so the water hadn't actually entered the
washing machine yet.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
But she was a little traumatized.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
I know you're a little shaken, and you were a
little bit nervous about the story. But can I just
say you're a bloody hero because if you had not
because you had a lot going on in that moment, Yes,
because if you had not heard that washing machine go on,
I mean, we are literally seconds from disaster.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Well Shiner's joining us, all right, hundred the hats and
a bit of a similar situation with you, Shiner.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
What happened?
Speaker 8 (15:09):
Oh, yes, PJ. I was about seventeen and my friend
was coming from Wellington and we wanted to go out
that night. And I quickly tried to find my favorite
jeans which were wet, had been washed and wet, so
I picked them up and just threw them in the
dryer as you go. And then about half now later
(15:30):
I went back and I heard this really funny sound.
I opened the dryer and my little black cat had
been in the dry for about.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Half a now, oh my goodness.
Speaker 8 (15:39):
Yeah, so luckily she was okay, and my mum rushed
her to the vet and all that happened. They had
to they had to cut off your tail, and that
was yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I know, oh my gosh. Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
So look, it's a horror happening to happen. Sometimes accidents happen.
Bonnie is joining us. You were seconds from disaster?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Bonnie? What happened to you?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Hi?
Speaker 9 (16:10):
Me and my family went out for dinner to celebrate
getting married. When we got home, our house was filled
with smoke. We found out that my one and two
year old had put a toy in our heater.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Oh my gosh, the house.
Speaker 9 (16:28):
Of smoke in this brigade said that we were so
close to putting our house down.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Oh my god, you would have been so relieved you arrived.
Speaker 9 (16:38):
When you do.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Some crazy texts coming in as well.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
What have we started?
Speaker 10 (16:44):
I know?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Someone said. I walked in to see my then two
year old going up with the garage door, which her
big sister sister had opened. I rushed over as she
fell into my arms, knocking, luckily not onto the concrete below.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Okay, taking his seconds from Disaster Stories, the text four
for eight seven, Karen, what happened to you?
Speaker 11 (17:07):
Oh? My son? At the time, he was three and
a half year years old, convinced her sister, little sister
too to hop in the clothes dry seat. It going
all could hear was but bother she was going around
and I was like, why did you hop on? I
got around this, why did you hop on? And she said,
(17:28):
he told me I was going to Wonderland to see Ellie.
Oh my what May And to those stage she still
does stuff because he tells.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Her I was going to call him a word Karen
that I probably won't say at three point thirty in
the afternoon, but I think you know the word I'm
going to use for it.
Speaker 11 (17:49):
About a week later, he decided that she needed a haircut.
Oh my god, because that's the next thing they like.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yes so much to look for.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
Mary and May and the podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
That it is time to welcome our next guess to
the studio and she is here to celebrate her amazing
book out called Women Uninterrupted.
Speaker 10 (18:21):
Brodie, Kay, guys, thank you.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
For having me. It's so nice to see you. You know,
it's been a little hot minute, it's been a busy
day for you.
Speaker 10 (18:30):
Well, actually, truth be told, I have come straight from
Sobar down at the.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
We need to carb load and hydrate.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
It's a big day. Also, not to want to on
the day you launch a new box, not every day
you do that, is it?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
You're talking about carbloading?
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Also very relevant because you've literally just come out from
Sydney completing a full marathon.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Will you got your peb Is that right?
Speaker 6 (18:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (18:54):
It's one of those funny things, is Ever since being
self employed, one of the blessings and curses is that
you can look at the You can look at the
year twelve months out right, and there's a lot of
things that aren't in it at that point. And so
if you had said to me, Hey, by the way,
what we're gonna do. You're gonna finish filming a TV
show the same week you run a marathon and launch
(19:15):
your book, and then you're gonna bug her off on
a cruise. You're gonna do all late within a week.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
You can do all of that.
Speaker 10 (19:20):
I would have gone, that's a stupid thing to do.
But that is the sort of the nature of winging it.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Knowing you for the amount of time that we've known
each other. None of that surprises me. At the slash
forever on the gun, and so many of your life,
so much of your life has been poured into this
book now, and boy, you've lived a life. It's funny.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I'll let you in a little secret.
Speaker 10 (19:40):
You write a book and actually after the process, which
is actually really quite intense, I kind of want us
to shut it out.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
You're kind of sick of yourself.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Right then it.
Speaker 10 (19:48):
Became time to start thinking about it again.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
I was like, what's even in there?
Speaker 10 (19:52):
Because I am a cliche, I am an open book.
I'm like, what's in there? What's on the podcast, what's
in this?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
What's in that?
Speaker 10 (19:58):
And so then recording the audiobook was a good time
to go, oh, that isn't there. You know it all,
It's all in there.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
When you were going through the editing process, where there
any moments where you're like, actually, no, I can't share this.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I've got to take it out.
Speaker 12 (20:11):
No.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
I tell you why, PJ.
Speaker 10 (20:13):
Because I think I had a I think I had
a good idea of what I wanted to share with people.
And what I wanted to share with people is we
focus in society so much on what's perceived perfection and
what we think is our endgame or what we deem
(20:33):
is successful, right, But what we don't focus enough on
is the steps to get there.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
One of the.
Speaker 10 (20:39):
Things that I have prided myself on in relatively recent
years is actually documenting all the steps that go into
the endgame, which are sometimes nice, sometimes ugly, sometimes messy.
And I actually have found that really cathartic for myself,
because otherwise everything looks carefully, carefully created and perfect, and
(21:00):
I think everyone's.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Over that totally. And there are some hot mess moments
in this book.
Speaker 10 (21:06):
I mean, you know, there's a chapter in there that
says how to be single for thirty eight years accounting,
And then there are others chapters that you're like and
that will keep going, says because because you've written some
pretty like hectic stuff.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
But I wondered, in amongst all of that, having written
the book and having reflected on your life, can you
think of like the biggest life lesson that you've learned
or the biggest takeaway you think?
Speaker 10 (21:31):
I think there's a couple of things there, and I
think one of them is I am and you are you,
and you are you, and we need to actually really
sit in that comparison is the thief of joy. So
why are we wasting time worrying about what others are doing?
And we are these unique beasts and we need to
actually celebrate that. And it takes us ages to realize that,
(21:55):
and we're always still developing that, but ultimately I think
that if you are that, you do make the water
better place. But the other thing as well is just
give everything a nudge. You will never regret giving something
a nudge. And it doesn't matter if it absolutely turns
to custard, but just give it a crack.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
I feel like I've got a good vibe. But I'm
kind of looking to you because you I know you
have an intimate relationship with your career driver.
Speaker 6 (23:16):

We got it, we got it.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Or she's being very poy or she's been.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Sonya, what is the exact style and model of your
I drove.
Speaker 11 (23:59):
A high to read.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
She's a driver. She's a career driver, I reckon, Sonya, Sonya,
sounds like a courier driver to me.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
I'm not sold.
Speaker 3 (24:10):
You're not sold.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
But I'm going to take a lead, Maddie.

a career son Are you.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
A courier driver? I am.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
To do that.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Yes, I just thought you read. I was like, no,

Speaker 1 (24:34):
Thanks. All right on to our next contestant, Are you
a courier driver?
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Edition being is Brody? Sorry is joining us from Leven?
Get a Brody?
Speaker 3 (24:44):
How are you very well? Brody?
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Hey, Maddie, what's your question?
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Where is the best place, Brody? Do you reckon to
hide a package? If you get to the house, the
owner's not there and you've got to hide the package.
Where's the best place to do it?
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Just at the doorstep.
Speaker 9 (25:01):
But I'm more to drop off to businesses more so
than than residential homes.
Speaker 7 (25:06):
So, but at the homes I have done just pretty
much at the door.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Yeah, right, just leave it on the doorsteps.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
The door. That's not hiding spot. It's not really the
answer that you're around.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
But although to be fear, lots of people don't like
lots of people do just the doorstep and run? What
do you reckon? Page? I went the last one. What
does your gut?
Speaker 1 (25:23):
I just I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
My gud is saying, No, I think Brodi is not
a career driver.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Brody?
Speaker 6 (25:29):
Are you I am? Story?
Speaker 3 (25:33):
I should have stuck firm to my belief. I should
have stuck firm. I felt like he was Page. But
it's fine, it's fine.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
My spidy instincts are off this way. I'm going to
hand this third one over to you. I think you've
got to make the call. Ben is joining us one
hundred of the hits.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
To wrap up. Are you a courier driver edition? How
are you going?
Speaker 7 (25:54):
You're not too bad yourself?
Speaker 2 (25:56):
You're not too bad. Hey, hey, here's the one for you.
Have you ever had a rogue dog on the job?
Speaker 7 (26:02):
No, I haven't, actually, but I've always been prepared, so
jump out of the way or close the gate quickly.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
I was going to say, how do you prepare it?
Speaker 8 (26:10):
But yeah, keep and I'm tall enough so I can
look over the sense anyways, right.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Right, right, So we need to follow up question, what
do you reckon.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Okay, if you arrive at a place with steep stairs,
do you take the package to the top or do
you leave it at the bottom?
Speaker 7 (26:26):
Depends on what I've said for lunch.
Speaker 10 (26:27):
Because I had something I've got to I've got to
burn it off, so I'll go to the top of
the stairs.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
But yeah, I would go to the top.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I my godness is all this is all on you.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
I feel like he is. But if he is, then
we've had a three from three strike rate. Actually genuinely
having career drivers. Call us.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Okay, we'll lock it in. Matthew, what do you reckon?
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I think he's a career driver, Ben, No.
Speaker 7 (26:54):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
But I didn't want to say. He had a good yarn.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
He had a good personality, but I didn't think he
was a courier driver.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
What do you do, Ben, I'm actually a builder.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
A builder, Ah so easy, used to go to houses
and stuff like that. That's why he was natural with
His answer has been thank you so much for joining
us for are you you have a great Thursday?
Speaker 6 (27:20):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and PJ, the podcast's.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Catching up with my best friend Chloe Today. She lives
overseas and Chloe and I have known each other for
a very long time, and we are very much on
the same wavelength with so many things. Our pop culture
references exactly the kind of food we like, exactly the.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Same amazing that makes life easier.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
We we're just in sync with each other. But she
told me something today that she was going to do
that shocked me to my core. And I feel like
I'm not necessarily the kind of person that would usually
be shocked by this, but it is just remind myself
of the date, the nineteenth of September, and today my
(28:07):
friend Chloe was going shopping for Christmas decorations.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Ah, she's one of those ones, and such.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
I'm put my tree up. I'll happily put my tree
up in November. Hell, you absolutely I would. I won't.
I'm not allowed to win my household, but I would
in November. I was surprised to hear that someone would
be shopping for Christmas decorations in September.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
That's always this conversation always feels me with so much
anxiety because I've never been that person. And every year
that Christmas comes around, I'm right. Next year, I'm changing
and I am going to be prepared and I will
be not stressed out come the week building up to Christmas.
But what happens every single year, Matthew, I'm stressed and
(28:58):
I leave it all to the last minute.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
So she is not only going to go shopping for
Christmas decorations. I believe Chloe is going to start decorating
her house this week with Christmas.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
I love, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I love festive joy, and I actually I celebrate celebrating early.
I think that's cool. I think there's a lot of
doom and gloom in the world. Go hard with a
few decorations.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
But I don't know. It's a bit early, isn't it
a little bit early?
Speaker 3 (29:27):
And this is coming from me because I love Christmas.
I love to decorate the house. I love getting into
the fest of joy. But even I think the nineteenth
of September is a little too early. Maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe you can take her on four four eighth seven.
How early is too early for Christmas?
Speaker 1 (29:42):
I mean how early do you go? Like, do you
know someone that goes earlier than that? Every year? What's
the date?
Speaker 3 (29:47):
So I would happily put my tree up in November,
Ryan says, December or December at the at the earliest.
But this year, because we're going to be away for Christmas.
We're going home to my parents in Queenstown, so we're
not technically going to be in Auckland for Christmas. He said,
I think we could just forego the tree this year.
So he's not even prepared to put the tree up
(30:09):
at all this year.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
See, I'm a real tree girl thrown through. I never
do the fakies. So we can't go to Wally because
I have see she gets really hot summer and it
just starts dying and going orange, so we can't go
too soon.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Someone has text into four eight seven and said, I
bought my children's Smuggle Advent calendars last month. Last month,
don't you peak toast?
Speaker 2 (30:31):
So no, and by the time Christmas comes around, it's
just not as enjoyable, like the moment's gone. Text ring
now four four eight seven the earliest you celebrate each year,
or maybe you know someone.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Who celebrates Christmas ridiculously E.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Mady ANDJ Mady and PJ the podcast The Heads.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
I told you that my friend Choe was going shopping
for Christmas decorations today and she was expected to put
them up in her house this week. So we asked
you on the text machine four four eight seven, how
early is to early? When do you start celebrating Christmas?
My god, someone's head.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
I put my degreation's upstart of September, leave them until February.
I'm just like, I don't want to be a grunt.
I don't want to be about party paper. I love
celebrating happiness, but I think you just lose the fun
of it.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
I mean, it's so lost.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
So when I've said my Auntie heads her tree up
all year round, she has family overseas and holds midwinter
Christmases every year, just doesn't take it down. Doesn't take
it down least.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
My mum's Christmas treat cetera is all up. I'm doing
mine first of October. I cannot wait. I thought people
at November were crazy.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
This is next level.
Speaker 6 (31:43):
Maddy and PJ.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Maddy and PJ, the podcast that it's been in morning,
it's been a morning.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
It's been okay, vibes, are you actually okay?
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Fine? I'm fine. Actually it's been a whole bloody week,
if I'm being honest. We went to use the shower
the other day and it all of a sudden like
started kind of flooding in the bathroom, like the shower
wasn't draining, and you know that happens from time to time,
and so we let it. It did eventually, like after
(32:17):
a few hours, the water did subside, and so we're like, okay,
so it's not completely completely blocked, but there's obviously a
bit of a blockage down there.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
But lakes and flooding and blockages, they're just stressful, aren't I.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
But sometimes all it takes is, you know, you get
like the draino or something like that, and you pour
it down and you wait a little bit and then
it unblocks it and then you're good to go. So
we did that and then went to use the shower again,
still blocked, and then it started affecting like the sink
in the bathroom and the actual toilet in the bathroom,
and I thought, no, we've got a bigger problem on
(32:52):
our hands here, and we've been I have been dealing
with a plumber over the last couple of days trying
to get it fixed. And today I got the dreaded
notification from him that the drain the old drain pipe
(33:12):
outside our house has actually collapsed.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
I thought, there were roots going through it. I thought
that was the problem.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
I thought it was roots. It wasn't roots. Page the
drains collapsed, so that here he is having to dig up,
dig up part of our back garden. He said to
me at one point, I hope you don't like this
tree because I have to pull it out to get
to the drain.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
And it was a very special tree.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
So it's been stressful. And you know what it is
like you look at these things happening, and all I
could see is the dollar signs ticking over in my head, going, well,
this is this is expensive.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Because it's not just been one person who had to
deal with heaven. You had like three or four people
called out.
Speaker 6 (33:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
So the plumber was like, I'm going to have to
get a drain specialist to come with a camera and
put the camera down. And then the drain guy was like,
I can't do anything about this. I'm going to have
to get someone else to come in. So we've had
trade's galore at our house. And the thing is, this
is usually Ryan's area of expertise, but I've taken on
project manager for this. How why I don't know, And
(34:14):
I'm not coping very well. I'm not coping well as
the project manager. And it all came to a head
today when the guy was showing me the damage. And
you know me, I do have a tendency to overreact
and to flip out, and I've got a short vieuse
and when things aren't going my way, I do throw
little tanties from time to time. And I literally stood
(34:38):
my driveway with this very professional and very lovely plumber
called Greg. I looked at Greg and I went, I
hate being an adult, and Greek was like, Okay, I
don't really know what to do with you now, but
(34:58):
I just stood there being like, it's hard, Greg, It's
really hard.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Were you stomping your feet?
Speaker 2 (35:03):
I can imagine your face bright red with steam coming
out your ears.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
It was definitely a metaphorical stomping of the feet. I
don't think I actually physically stomped them, but it was
it was there in theory, you know.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Do you know what I'm with you, Maddie?
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Honestly it is bloody heart being an adult, Like there's
just so much edmund and responsibility. Take us back to
the simpler days we mum or dared would do it
for us.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
And that's me I had that moment where I went,
I just want I just want Dad to come and
help me here. I just want Dad to deal with this,
and I don't want to think about it.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Well, oh wait, one hundred hats. Look, let's let's be
in this together. Let's have a collective wenge. What is
the hardest thing about being an adult? I'll start, Yeah,
when I was growing up, Dad used to always sort
my key, we save my cards and anything car related.
He'd sort the services. Now doing that, it's just such
a rigmarng.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
You got to take it for a waft pege. And
it's hard work.
Speaker 6 (36:01):
Maddy ANDPJ. Mady and PJ the podcast The Heads.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
It's just gone twenty four past five on a day
that has felt very long.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
For our friend Meddy McClain.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
It's hard, real hard, purch It's hard being an adult.
Our drain is broken and I'm having to deal with
contractors and plumbers and our drain bloody still won't Our
shower still won't work. So I've had been using the
shower at Ryan's workplace, my husband's workplace.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
We know what many on the show, We like to
meet you there. We're going to meet you there.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Emotionally and we're all having a collective winge this evening.
Oh wait, hundred the hats.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
What is the hardest thing about being an adult?
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Sometimes it's just like I want to go back to
the nineties where I had very limited responsibilities and things
were a lot easier.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Weren't they Just weren't they were?
Speaker 4 (36:51):
All? Right?
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Xanthe's joining us? Oh eight hundred the hats. What's the
hardest part about being an adult?
Speaker 5 (36:56):
Well, I think it's just all the responsibility and having
to prepare things like tax returns for your account, you know,
making sure the cat is ensured and we're into paying
rates and mortgages and repairs and maintenance and just making
sure that everything is sorted so.
Speaker 11 (37:18):
Kind of everything, and you just can't let it feel
like it's piling up.
Speaker 5 (37:26):
You just got to take it by day.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
I guess we're all in it together, right, Like, we're
all just we're all chipping away, hoping for the best.
And that's all you can do. That's all you can do.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Now, what about you? Oh, wait, handa, the hats? What
are you reason is the worst part about being an adult?
Speaker 12 (37:41):
I think the worst part is being sick when you're
an adult, like I seriously took for granted my mum
who was like Maks and like Paige, my sheet and
I wouldn't have to go anywhere or buy my vitamins
or my medication or my doctor's appointments. I think we'd
really tack for granted when we're kids and we're sick,
our mums and dads just completely you know, make us
(38:03):
better by just doing all those things.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
And now true and now we're just responsible for it
on our own.
Speaker 12 (38:11):
Now we just buy it's soup and a can because
Ma Fred and I do miss those days. But you
have to clean your own sheets, and you know, it
was just like I just want to go back.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
You really do take a lot for granted when you're
growing up, there's for sure, Terina, I wait, how do
you the hats?
Speaker 6 (38:29):
What about you?
Speaker 1 (38:29):
What are your against? The hardest part about being.
Speaker 12 (38:31):
It ult I think the hardest part is having to
think about what to cook if we.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Not you're not alone.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Is actually so many hecks of people saying this, like
they find this the most stressful part of the day,
working out what is actually on the menu each night.
Speaker 11 (38:49):
Is it you have at home? What you have at home?
Speaker 12 (38:51):
You have in a cupboard, what you have to go
get what your kids are going to actually do?
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Yes, in not the same five meals that you have
for night, and.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
Then not just thinking about it but actually going and
then putting into practice and bloody cooking the meals as
it is. Trainer.
Speaker 12 (39:08):
Oh yeah, by the time I've actually made the decision.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
What I love it?
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Ay Trina, We've got some Cabri chocolate coming your way,
all thanks to Cabre Cheers on tour. And someone actually
ticks and some give me drains any day. I'm a
mom to four sons. Yeah, drones all day long.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
Someone else ticks and just said many grow up. It's hard.
It's hard.

bed for you and I because we pulled it together
and we came in and we did the mahy. We
did the work.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
We did the mahi, we did the work. Your day,
I'd say, was actually worse than mine, because yours has
kind of affected you for more of the day than mine.
Was just like a moment of sheer panic and everything
was okay, but it was more like a shit shit
could have gone real bad, real fast.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Yeah, mine is ongoing. In fact, I had actually I
just had a text from the plumber to takeing me
a call and I'll fill you in on the situation.
I've got an issue with my pipes, which you will
hear about on the show today.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Usually you love, Sorry, you took the ram with it,
and well done.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
We've got a day tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (01:06):

to be a lot of fun. So I'm going to
be on the flight early in the morning.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Yeah, you're gonna long day you're.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Gonna hit the road, right m hmm, can I can?
I say? One thing is if only we had according membership.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Oh honestly, because what was the conversation earlier in the year.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
It was you need to get or twelve flights?
Speaker 3 (01:35):
I think it was ten.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I have wells the past ten like easily.
Speaker 3 (01:41):

I haven't taken me. I'm going to I'm going to
peggyback off you, So peggyback.

Them save the save the company money, wouldn't it. Yeah,
we're filling ourselves up on Krantzkes And oh my.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
God, there used to be my weakness in there that
used to get me when we used to travel a bit.
Back in the old days, call a membership was handed
out a lot easier than what it is.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
It's harder. But I think if maybe we need to
work on this, maybe we need.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
To what like a good perch, because you and I
don't have the most convincing arguments and slight.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
I would say we come in guns blazing, you and I.
We're going in strong and United, and we're going to
get this done and then we're pushing it.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
You know, you're right, You're right, You're right, you're right.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Sorry, yeah, yeah, totally yeah. No, I want to ask again.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I want to say that that's us in the past.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
You reckon, we've changed.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
No, I'm saying we should moving forward. Let's stand our ground.
Suppose we'll be more relcted, employees will be better fed,
We'll have more time to prepare for our show.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
There's so many things, so let's work on our pitch.
If anyone has any ideas, if anyone thinks, actually I know,
I know how to pitch this, please get in touch
with us because maybe we need to make a proper
formal pitch to the boss at some point.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Okay, I like the sound of that.

I mean, it's not gonna We're not going to get
it in time for You're not You're not getting a
crank skin tomorrow. But we could get a Krensky. We

Speaker 2 (04:05):
No, it's really hoping for a I fucking love a
club sandwich.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
I'm not opposed to it. Would it be my first
choice in the corny lounge? No?
Speaker 1 (04:17):
But what would be your first?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Okay, you get in there, you're at the buffet. We're
already giving them free promotion.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Oh are you saying we should get in New Zealand
to just hand them out to us.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Maybe let's just go direct to the bult man.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
That's not a bad idea.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Let's just get it done show them. Hey, all right, well,
if you guys aren't willing to play game, we'll make
it happen.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Can we make it happen?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
I'd give them, I'd give them if i'd give them
the plug once a week.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
Every time I'm there, every time i'm there, I'd selfie
me with the coffee.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yes, you know how you get the little receiving name
on it.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I'd post that, like, we sound so desperated, so spread,
and for what really for what I know, do you
know what chances are we'll be late to the airport,
so we won't even to use the indulge in the
luxuries of the quarter loud.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
But it's the principal page.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
It's the principle. And on the off chance we might have.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
That time to overindulge in krant skis and the scramp
scrambled I'm not gonna I'm not going to speak all
of the scrambled eggs.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
But no, we don't.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
It's a little weir, I think it's but I need it,
but I did it.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yeah, yeah, absolutely enough. The crash one is pretty good
to They've got like a whole fruit bar, they've got
the porge and.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
The spoken enough about the Quardy lounge.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
But here's what I'm gonna say, leave it with us.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
We're going to work on this, and we're going to
go on as a united front, and we're going to
make a patch at some point.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I feel like we make these problemses to We're doing it, okay.

Speaker 6 (06:33):
That's Mady and Pj's whole ball with the Razine and.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
We have got one sleep to go until our whole ball.
It is going down at Temata Public Hall and it
is all thanks to our mates at Razine Color Shops.
If you need inspiration, you can view the color and
wallpaper library your local raisine color shop and take home
your favorite colors to try with Razine test pods page.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
This is going to be my first ever community hall
party and I am so excited. I'm ready. I'm ready
for a blowout.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
You are in for a treat, my friend.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
So yeah, obviously we're giving the place to spruce up
all thanks to Raziling Color Shops, and then we are
throwing a massive party tomorrow night. Now, there have been
some incredible people that have nominated tem Mutter Hall at
the Stockholo ins Ears, and we really wanted to track
down a lovely man called Wayne, who has been dubbed
the unofficial Maya of tim Mutter. He joins us, Now, Wayne.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Good afternoon, Hello, Hell are we very well Wayne?
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Wow?
Speaker 6 (07:36):
How are you?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
And how's the community of Timutta? More importantly, Oh, we're.
Speaker 7 (07:41):
Going good, guys, We're going good. Think it he is, guys,
and razeem for putting us on. It's just another awesome
event that's going to be held in a local little
hall that gets used quite often.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Now what does this mean for the community, because you know,
I know that these can be like the events of
the year when you throw these parties, but you guys
come together through third son.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Is that right?
Speaker 7 (08:01):
Yeah, we do, we do. It's I think it's the
big thing with our hall is the location and it's
straight across the road from the school, and the school
use it so the junior kids get get to use
it through their life and then you sort of leave
town and you go away overseas and you come home
and then it really hits how important this community is.
And the venue. You know, it was built in nineteen
(08:23):
oh five by a guy called Wallace Thompson and he
was just out of his apprenticeship he also built the
school classroom and the the across the road at the school,
so it did them both together and its just about
putting break. But he's done an a little donking job
on them. It's just amazing, brilliant.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Now, if Walls could talk, Wayne, what do you can
I'd say in the Tomato Hall, because I'm sure there's
some stories to tell from parties gone by.
Speaker 7 (08:49):
I could almost feel the timber tongue and grew smiling
as we speak. You know, there has been some awesome parties.
There's been twenty first there has been every there's a
school production where the kids go. There's been funerals, he's
been weddings, you name it. Man, it's it's an awesome
community with an awesome hall. It's just been let go
(09:10):
a little bit, you know, so it's hanging on to history.
I mean nineteen oh five that that was built with
no powerls obviously handsaws, blacksmiths, nails. You know, the drill
man was born in the seventeen hundreds. You know, it
came from the local mountain and it's just awesome. It's
it's just a great when you walk in there, make
(09:30):
you'll feel it. It's just something that's a great place,
great community, awesome hall.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Now when we hear that you may be coming along
to the party tomorrow night, have you got your outfit
sorted yet?
Speaker 6 (09:42):
I have.
Speaker 7 (09:43):
I have actually went from bit of a shop and
I tried the old teapot and our Madison isn't going
to cut it, mate, I've got quite a nice little effort,
to be honest, I'm quite excited to have my wife
on my on my shoulder and.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Dreaming it's goes oh god, well wait.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Thank you so much for joining us this afternoon.

Speaker 2 (10:22):
And just a quick shout out a massive thank you
to Export who are supplying.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Drinks for tomorrow night. We wouldn't be able to do
this without you.
Speaker 6 (10:30):
Many the podcast.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
That I'm actually quite nervous to tell the story that
I'm about to tell, but I can tell it because
everyone and everything is okay.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
You're fine, fine, everyone fine, okay.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
So the other day on the show, I was telling
you many about how my gorgeous, lovely, adventurous two year
old son, Charlie has a new fixation with putting our
cat and the washing machine. Like he'll just go and
hide her in different places. He'll hide her in the oven,
(11:14):
he will hide her and draws. You know, poor Jojo.
She's the most patient catle life. They have a weird
bond and they get along so well.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Gos along so well.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
So this morning was no exception. And he went in
and he put her in. Then I was like, Charlie,
come on, get Jojo out of there.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
It's not nice. We've got to get Jojo out. And
he put in a number of other.
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Things, and I'm aware this is very dangerous, Like you
can't just put like tongs and stuff in the washing
machine because it will not in well. So I'm like, Charlie,
come on, like this is this is not okay. We've
got to respect Jojo. We love Jojo. Come on, let's
get her out. So we've done that. I went into
the kitchen and I was sort of and like, get ready,
for work. So I'm prepping lunch vegetabballs chicken in the
(12:05):
oven and Charlie is sort of just darting around, but
I can always sort of hear him, you know, I
know he's there.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
And then I sort of hang on, where what's this
Charlie gone? And then I hear the washing machine.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Turn on, well, not on, I can hear that it's going,
and I heard, and I'm like, hang about to hang
about Charlie. How does he know how to turn the
washing machine on? So I frantically dash to the bathroom.
(12:41):
Medio friendsically rushed to the bathroom and my darling boomes
get Josephine.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Is going.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
The washing and I stop it immediately, but it's on
the lock thing, so I can't get that straight away,
so I'm turning it off. I'm like, Charlie, what have
you done?
Speaker 2 (13:03):
And so I turn it off both and I have
to wait and excruciating you know, minute or so to
like can finally open it up.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
And get her out.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
She's frazzled, but she's okay at the water hadn't even
gotten yet, but she'd had a good warm up in
the washing machine.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Thank god.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
I heard the washing machine when I did because I
have heard some horror stories of what can happen, and
I genuinely felt like such a bad mum, a cat mum,
all of the above and one.
Speaker 1 (13:32):
It just happened so fast.
Speaker 2 (13:33):
I don't even know he knew how to operate the
washing machine, or should he.
Speaker 3 (13:37):
He's two years old. Most boys, most twenty year old
boys don't even know how to use a washing machine.
And your two year old to use it?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Curision, how that could have ended? I couldn't believe it.
So anyway, Jojo the cat was okay. Charlie got a
little bit of a telling off. We've had to tell him, Charlie,
you cannot put Josephine and the washing machine. I've had
to unplug the washing machine. It will never be plugged
now when I'm not in the room. I was seconds
(14:06):
from disaster.
Speaker 3 (14:08):
Right, truly, truly, that could have gone so badly in
so many different ways.
Speaker 6 (14:13):
Many and PJ the podcast.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
I've just opened up about a pretty traumatic story in
my household this morning. I toddler is fixated on the
washing machine at the moment and taking my cat in there.
What I didn't realize was that he could actually activate
the washing machine. And get it started. So he did
that whilst our cat was in there. Luckily I heard
it must have been within the first minute, because when
I walked in, the cat was going round, but she
(14:40):
hadn't got wet, so the water hadn't actually entered the
washing machine yet.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
But she was a little traumatized.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
I know you're a little shaken, and you were a
little bit nervous about the story. But can I just
say you're a bloody hero because if you had not
because you had a lot going on in that moment, Yes,
because if you had not heard that washing machine go on,
I mean, we are literally seconds from disaster.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Well Shiner's joining us, all right, hundred the hats and
a bit of a similar situation with you, Shiner.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
What happened?
Speaker 8 (15:09):
Oh, yes, PJ. I was about seventeen and my friend
was coming from Wellington and we wanted to go out
that night. And I quickly tried to find my favorite
jeans which were wet, had been washed and wet, so
I picked them up and just threw them in the
dryer as you go. And then about half now later
(15:30):
I went back and I heard this really funny sound.
I opened the dryer and my little black cat had
been in the dry for about.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Half a now, oh my goodness.
Speaker 8 (15:39):
Yeah, so luckily she was okay, and my mum rushed
her to the vet and all that happened. They had
to they had to cut off your tail, and that
was yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I know, oh my gosh. Okay.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
So look, it's a horror happening to happen. Sometimes accidents happen.
Bonnie is joining us. You were seconds from disaster?
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Bonnie? What happened to you?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Hi?
Speaker 9 (16:10):
Me and my family went out for dinner to celebrate
getting married. When we got home, our house was filled
with smoke. We found out that my one and two
year old had put a toy in our heater.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Oh my gosh, the house.
Speaker 9 (16:28):
Of smoke in this brigade said that we were so
close to putting our house down.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
Oh my god, you would have been so relieved you arrived.
Speaker 9 (16:38):
When you do.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Some crazy texts coming in as well.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
What have we started?
Speaker 10 (16:44):
I know?
Speaker 3 (16:45):
Someone said. I walked in to see my then two
year old going up with the garage door, which her
big sister sister had opened. I rushed over as she
fell into my arms, knocking, luckily not onto the concrete below.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Okay, taking his seconds from Disaster Stories, the text four
for eight seven, Karen, what happened to you?
Speaker 11 (17:07):
Oh? My son? At the time, he was three and
a half year years old, convinced her sister, little sister
too to hop in the clothes dry seat. It going
all could hear was but bother she was going around
and I was like, why did you hop on? I
got around this, why did you hop on? And she said,
(17:28):
he told me I was going to Wonderland to see Ellie.
Oh my what May And to those stage she still
does stuff because he tells.
Speaker 3 (17:38):
Her I was going to call him a word Karen
that I probably won't say at three point thirty in
the afternoon, but I think you know the word I'm
going to use for it.
Speaker 11 (17:49):
About a week later, he decided that she needed a haircut.
Oh my god, because that's the next thing they like.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Yes so much to look for.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
Mary and May and the podcast.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
That it is time to welcome our next guess to
the studio and she is here to celebrate her amazing
book out called Women Uninterrupted.
Speaker 10 (18:21):
Brodie, Kay, guys, thank you.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
For having me. It's so nice to see you. You know,
it's been a little hot minute, it's been a busy
day for you.
Speaker 10 (18:30):
Well, actually, truth be told, I have come straight from
Sobar down at the.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
We need to carb load and hydrate.
Speaker 3 (18:39):
It's a big day. Also, not to want to on
the day you launch a new box, not every day
you do that, is it?
Speaker 1 (18:44):
You're talking about carbloading?
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Also very relevant because you've literally just come out from
Sydney completing a full marathon.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Will you got your peb Is that right?
Speaker 6 (18:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (18:54):
It's one of those funny things, is Ever since being
self employed, one of the blessings and curses is that
you can look at the You can look at the
year twelve months out right, and there's a lot of
things that aren't in it at that point. And so
if you had said to me, Hey, by the way,
what we're gonna do. You're gonna finish filming a TV
show the same week you run a marathon and launch
(19:15):
your book, and then you're gonna bug her off on
a cruise. You're gonna do all late within a week.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
You can do all of that.
Speaker 10 (19:20):
I would have gone, that's a stupid thing to do.
But that is the sort of the nature of winging it.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
Knowing you for the amount of time that we've known
each other. None of that surprises me. At the slash
forever on the gun, and so many of your life,
so much of your life has been poured into this
book now, and boy, you've lived a life. It's funny.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I'll let you in a little secret.
Speaker 10 (19:40):
You write a book and actually after the process, which
is actually really quite intense, I kind of want us
to shut it out.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
You're kind of sick of yourself.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Right then it.
Speaker 10 (19:48):
Became time to start thinking about it again.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
I was like, what's even in there?
Speaker 10 (19:52):
Because I am a cliche, I am an open book.
I'm like, what's in there? What's on the podcast, what's
in this?
Speaker 3 (19:57):
What's in that?
Speaker 10 (19:58):
And so then recording the audiobook was a good time
to go, oh, that isn't there. You know it all,
It's all in there.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
When you were going through the editing process, where there
any moments where you're like, actually, no, I can't share this.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
I've got to take it out.
Speaker 12 (20:11):
No.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
I tell you why, PJ.
Speaker 10 (20:13):
Because I think I had a I think I had
a good idea of what I wanted to share with people.
And what I wanted to share with people is we
focus in society so much on what's perceived perfection and
what we think is our endgame or what we deem
(20:33):
is successful, right, But what we don't focus enough on
is the steps to get there.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
One of the.
Speaker 10 (20:39):
Things that I have prided myself on in relatively recent
years is actually documenting all the steps that go into
the endgame, which are sometimes nice, sometimes ugly, sometimes messy.
And I actually have found that really cathartic for myself,
because otherwise everything looks carefully, carefully created and perfect, and
(21:00):
I think everyone's.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Over that totally. And there are some hot mess moments
in this book.
Speaker 10 (21:06):
I mean, you know, there's a chapter in there that
says how to be single for thirty eight years accounting,
And then there are others chapters that you're like and
that will keep going, says because because you've written some
pretty like hectic stuff.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
But I wondered, in amongst all of that, having written
the book and having reflected on your life, can you
think of like the biggest life lesson that you've learned
or the biggest takeaway you think?
Speaker 10 (21:31):
I think there's a couple of things there, and I
think one of them is I am and you are you,
and you are you, and we need to actually really
sit in that comparison is the thief of joy. So
why are we wasting time worrying about what others are doing?
And we are these unique beasts and we need to
actually celebrate that. And it takes us ages to realize that,
(21:55):
and we're always still developing that, but ultimately I think
that if you are that, you do make the water
better place. But the other thing as well is just
give everything a nudge. You will never regret giving something
a nudge. And it doesn't matter if it absolutely turns
to custard, but just give it a crack.
Speaker 3 (22:16):
Love it.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Yeah, Oh my god, I feel like we've just got
to end on that because it was such a profund
way to wrap it up. Brodie, it has been amazing
having you on studio. Woman Uninterrupted is out now go
and read about all hotels pretty not so pretty Brody.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
We love you.

Get a Brody?
Speaker 3 (24:44):
How are you very well? Brody?
Speaker 1 (24:48):
Hey, Maddie, what's your question?
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Where is the best place, Brody? Do you reckon to
hide a package? If you get to the house, the
owner's not there and you've got to hide the package.
Where's the best place to do it?
Speaker 5 (25:01):
Just at the doorstep.
Speaker 9 (25:01):
But I'm more to drop off to businesses more so
than than residential homes.
Speaker 7 (25:06):
So, but at the homes I have done just pretty
much at the door.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Yeah, right, just leave it on the doorsteps.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
The door. That's not hiding spot. It's not really the
answer that you're around.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
But although to be fear, lots of people don't like
lots of people do just the doorstep and run? What
do you reckon? Page? I went the last one. What
does your gut?
Speaker 1 (25:23):
I just I don't know.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
My gud is saying, No, I think Brodi is not
a career driver.
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Brody?
Speaker 6 (25:29):
Are you I am? Story?
Speaker 3 (25:33):
I should have stuck firm to my belief. I should
have stuck firm. I felt like he was Page. But
it's fine, it's fine.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
My spidy instincts are off this way. I'm going to
hand this third one over to you. I think you've
got to make the call. Ben is joining us one
hundred of the hits.
Speaker 1 (25:49):
To wrap up. Are you a courier driver edition? How
are you going?
Speaker 7 (25:54):
You're not too bad yourself?
Speaker 2 (25:56):
You're not too bad. Hey, hey, here's the one for you.
Have you ever had a rogue dog on the job?
Speaker 7 (26:02):
No, I haven't, actually, but I've always been prepared, so
jump out of the way or close the gate quickly.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
I was going to say, how do you prepare it?
Speaker 8 (26:10):
But yeah, keep and I'm tall enough so I can
look over the sense anyways, right.
Speaker 1 (26:16):
Right, right, So we need to follow up question, what
do you reckon.
Speaker 3 (26:19):
Okay, if you arrive at a place with steep stairs,
do you take the package to the top or do
you leave it at the bottom?
Speaker 7 (26:26):
Depends on what I've said for lunch.
Speaker 10 (26:27):
Because I had something I've got to I've got to
burn it off, so I'll go to the top of
the stairs.
Speaker 7 (26:33):
But yeah, I would go to the top.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
I my godness is all this is all on you.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
I feel like he is. But if he is, then
we've had a three from three strike rate. Actually genuinely
having career drivers. Call us.
Speaker 1 (26:47):
Okay, we'll lock it in. Matthew, what do you reckon?
Speaker 3 (26:50):
I think he's a career driver, Ben, No.
Speaker 7 (26:54):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
But I didn't want to say. He had a good yarn.
Speaker 2 (27:02):
He had a good personality, but I didn't think he
was a courier driver.
Speaker 3 (27:05):
What do you do, Ben, I'm actually a builder.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
A builder, Ah so easy, used to go to houses
and stuff like that. That's why he was natural with
His answer has been thank you so much for joining
us for are you you have a great Thursday?
Speaker 6 (27:20):
Maddy and PJ. Mady and PJ, the podcast's.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
Catching up with my best friend Chloe Today. She lives
overseas and Chloe and I have known each other for
a very long time, and we are very much on
the same wavelength with so many things. Our pop culture
references exactly the kind of food we like, exactly the.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
Same amazing that makes life easier.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
We we're just in sync with each other. But she
told me something today that she was going to do
that shocked me to my core. And I feel like
I'm not necessarily the kind of person that would usually
be shocked by this, but it is just remind myself
of the date, the nineteenth of September, and today my
(28:07):
friend Chloe was going shopping for Christmas decorations.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Ah, she's one of those ones, and such.
Speaker 3 (28:18):
I'm put my tree up. I'll happily put my tree
up in November. Hell, you absolutely I would. I won't.
I'm not allowed to win my household, but I would
in November. I was surprised to hear that someone would
be shopping for Christmas decorations in September.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
That's always this conversation always feels me with so much
anxiety because I've never been that person. And every year
that Christmas comes around, I'm right. Next year, I'm changing
and I am going to be prepared and I will
be not stressed out come the week building up to Christmas.
But what happens every single year, Matthew, I'm stressed and
(28:58):
I leave it all to the last minute.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
So she is not only going to go shopping for
Christmas decorations. I believe Chloe is going to start decorating
her house this week with Christmas.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
I love, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I love festive joy, and I actually I celebrate celebrating early.
I think that's cool. I think there's a lot of
doom and gloom in the world. Go hard with a
few decorations.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
But I don't know. It's a bit early, isn't it
a little bit early?
Speaker 3 (29:27):
And this is coming from me because I love Christmas.
I love to decorate the house. I love getting into
the fest of joy. But even I think the nineteenth
of September is a little too early. Maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe you can take her on four four eighth seven.
How early is too early for Christmas?
Speaker 1 (29:42):
I mean how early do you go? Like, do you
know someone that goes earlier than that? Every year? What's
the date?
Speaker 3 (29:47):
So I would happily put my tree up in November,
Ryan says, December or December at the at the earliest.
But this year, because we're going to be away for Christmas.
We're going home to my parents in Queenstown, so we're
not technically going to be in Auckland for Christmas. He said,
I think we could just forego the tree this year.
So he's not even prepared to put the tree up
(30:09):
at all this year.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
See, I'm a real tree girl thrown through. I never
do the fakies. So we can't go to Wally because
I have see she gets really hot summer and it
just starts dying and going orange, so we can't go
too soon.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
Someone has text into four eight seven and said, I
bought my children's Smuggle Advent calendars last month. Last month,
don't you peak toast?
Speaker 2 (30:31):
So no, and by the time Christmas comes around, it's
just not as enjoyable, like the moment's gone. Text ring
now four four eight seven the earliest you celebrate each year,
or maybe you know someone.
Speaker 1 (30:43):
Who celebrates Christmas ridiculously E.
Speaker 6 (30:48):
Mady ANDJ Mady and PJ the podcast The Heads.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
I told you that my friend Choe was going shopping
for Christmas decorations today and she was expected to put
them up in her house this week. So we asked
you on the text machine four four eight seven, how
early is to early? When do you start celebrating Christmas?
My god, someone's head.
Speaker 2 (31:08):
I put my degreation's upstart of September, leave them until February.
I'm just like, I don't want to be a grunt.
I don't want to be about party paper. I love
celebrating happiness, but I think you just lose the fun
of it.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
I mean, it's so lost.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
So when I've said my Auntie heads her tree up
all year round, she has family overseas and holds midwinter
Christmases every year, just doesn't take it down. Doesn't take
it down least.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
My mum's Christmas treat cetera is all up. I'm doing
mine first of October. I cannot wait. I thought people
at November were crazy.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
This is next level.
Speaker 6 (31:43):
Maddy and PJ.
Speaker 3 (31:44):
Maddy and PJ, the podcast that it's been in morning,
it's been a morning.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
It's been okay, vibes, are you actually okay?
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Fine? I'm fine. Actually it's been a whole bloody week,
if I'm being honest. We went to use the shower
the other day and it all of a sudden like
started kind of flooding in the bathroom, like the shower
wasn't draining, and you know that happens from time to time,
and so we let it. It did eventually, like after
(32:17):
a few hours, the water did subside, and so we're like, okay,
so it's not completely completely blocked, but there's obviously a
bit of a blockage down there.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
But lakes and flooding and blockages, they're just stressful, aren't I.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
But sometimes all it takes is, you know, you get
like the draino or something like that, and you pour
it down and you wait a little bit and then
it unblocks it and then you're good to go. So
we did that and then went to use the shower again,
still blocked, and then it started affecting like the sink
in the bathroom and the actual toilet in the bathroom,
and I thought, no, we've got a bigger problem on
(32:52):
our hands here, and we've been I have been dealing
with a plumber over the last couple of days trying
to get it fixed. And today I got the dreaded
notification from him that the drain the old drain pipe
(33:12):
outside our house has actually collapsed.
Speaker 1 (33:16):
I thought, there were roots going through it. I thought
that was the problem.
Speaker 3 (33:19):
I thought it was roots. It wasn't roots. Page the
drains collapsed, so that here he is having to dig up,
dig up part of our back garden. He said to
me at one point, I hope you don't like this
tree because I have to pull it out to get
to the drain.
Speaker 1 (33:31):
And it was a very special tree.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
So it's been stressful. And you know what it is
like you look at these things happening, and all I
could see is the dollar signs ticking over in my head, going, well,
this is this is expensive.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Because it's not just been one person who had to
deal with heaven. You had like three or four people
called out.
Speaker 6 (33:52):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
So the plumber was like, I'm going to have to
get a drain specialist to come with a camera and
put the camera down. And then the drain guy was like,
I can't do anything about this. I'm going to have
to get someone else to come in. So we've had
trade's galore at our house. And the thing is, this
is usually Ryan's area of expertise, but I've taken on
project manager for this. How why I don't know, And
(34:14):
I'm not coping very well. I'm not coping well as
the project manager. And it all came to a head
today when the guy was showing me the damage. And
you know me, I do have a tendency to overreact
and to flip out, and I've got a short vieuse
and when things aren't going my way, I do throw
little tanties from time to time. And I literally stood
(34:38):
my driveway with this very professional and very lovely plumber
called Greg. I looked at Greg and I went, I
hate being an adult, and Greek was like, Okay, I
don't really know what to do with you now, but
(34:58):
I just stood there being like, it's hard, Greg, It's
really hard.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Were you stomping your feet?
Speaker 2 (35:03):
I can imagine your face bright red with steam coming
out your ears.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
It was definitely a metaphorical stomping of the feet. I
don't think I actually physically stomped them, but it was
it was there in theory, you know.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Do you know what I'm with you, Maddie?
Speaker 2 (35:18):
Honestly it is bloody heart being an adult, Like there's
just so much edmund and responsibility. Take us back to
the simpler days we mum or dared would do it
for us.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
And that's me I had that moment where I went,
I just want I just want Dad to come and
help me here. I just want Dad to deal with this,
and I don't want to think about it.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Well, oh wait, one hundred hats. Look, let's let's be
in this together. Let's have a collective wenge. What is
the hardest thing about being an adult? I'll start, Yeah,
when I was growing up, Dad used to always sort
my key, we save my cards and anything car related.
He'd sort the services. Now doing that, it's just such
a rigmarng.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
You got to take it for a waft pege. And
it's hard work.
Speaker 6 (36:01):
Maddy ANDPJ. Mady and PJ the podcast The Heads.
Speaker 2 (36:06):
It's just gone twenty four past five on a day
that has felt very long.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
For our friend Meddy McClain.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
It's hard, real hard, purch It's hard being an adult.
Our drain is broken and I'm having to deal with
contractors and plumbers and our drain bloody still won't Our
shower still won't work. So I've had been using the
shower at Ryan's workplace, my husband's workplace.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
We know what many on the show, We like to
meet you there. We're going to meet you there.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
Emotionally and we're all having a collective winge this evening.
Oh wait, hundred the hats.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
What is the hardest thing about being an adult?
Speaker 2 (36:41):
Sometimes it's just like I want to go back to
the nineties where I had very limited responsibilities and things
were a lot easier.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Weren't they Just weren't they were?
Speaker 4 (36:51):
All? Right?
Speaker 2 (36:51):
Xanthe's joining us? Oh eight hundred the hats. What's the
hardest part about being an adult?
Speaker 5 (36:56):
Well, I think it's just all the responsibility and having
to prepare things like tax returns for your account, you know,
making sure the cat is ensured and we're into paying
rates and mortgages and repairs and maintenance and just making
sure that everything is sorted so.
Speaker 11 (37:18):
Kind of everything, and you just can't let it feel
like it's piling up.
Speaker 5 (37:26):
You just got to take it by day.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
I guess we're all in it together, right, Like, we're
all just we're all chipping away, hoping for the best.
And that's all you can do. That's all you can do.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Now, what about you? Oh, wait, handa, the hats? What
are you reason is the worst part about being an adult?
Speaker 12 (37:41):
I think the worst part is being sick when you're
an adult, like I seriously took for granted my mum
who was like Maks and like Paige, my sheet and
I wouldn't have to go anywhere or buy my vitamins
or my medication or my doctor's appointments. I think we'd
really tack for granted when we're kids and we're sick,
our mums and dads just completely you know, make us
(38:03):
better by just doing all those things.
Speaker 3 (38:06):
And now true and now we're just responsible for it
on our own.
Speaker 12 (38:11):
Now we just buy it's soup and a can because
Ma Fred and I do miss those days. But you
have to clean your own sheets, and you know, it
was just like I just want to go back.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
You really do take a lot for granted when you're
growing up, there's for sure, Terina, I wait, how do
you the hats?
Speaker 6 (38:29):
What about you?
Speaker 1 (38:29):
What are your against? The hardest part about being.
Speaker 12 (38:31):
It ult I think the hardest part is having to
think about what to cook if we.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Not you're not alone.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
Is actually so many hecks of people saying this, like
they find this the most stressful part of the day,
working out what is actually on the menu each night.
Speaker 11 (38:49):
Is it you have at home? What you have at home?
Speaker 12 (38:51):
You have in a cupboard, what you have to go
get what your kids are going to actually do?
Speaker 1 (38:56):
Yes, in not the same five meals that you have
for night, and.
Speaker 3 (39:01):
Then not just thinking about it but actually going and
then putting into practice and bloody cooking the meals as
it is. Trainer.
Speaker 12 (39:08):
Oh yeah, by the time I've actually made the decision.
Speaker 1 (39:10):
What I love it?
Speaker 2 (39:15):
Ay Trina, We've got some Cabri chocolate coming your way,
all thanks to Cabre Cheers on tour. And someone actually
ticks and some give me drains any day. I'm a
mom to four sons. Yeah, drones all day long.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
