Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Coast Breakfast Bonus Podcast with Tony Jason Sam. Thanks
for listening to our Breakfast Bonus podcast Today. We're talking
about gifts, but gifts around the world.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Yeah, so I have regret. I have been very lucky
to travel for work, and along those those wonderful journeys
which included New York and Miami and Australia and Long Island.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
And immut Bahama.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
That's it, I fell in love with certain pieces of
art along the way and didn't purchase them.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Well, you're quite a discerning art lover.

Speaker 2 (00:29):
On sure, no quiet taste, I have no, I have one. No,
I have one Graham Brinsley, which he's a New Zealand
painter based out of Arrowtown. And the reason I got
that painting was because I got him to paint it
on Breakfast while I did the show, and then just
snapped it up and took it away.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
So that's what I just said. As it turns out,
I also get to keep the.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
But that's a wonderful memento for my time on Breakfast.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
You've had a varied memento history, don't you What dog
you had that you had?

Speaker 3 (00:56):
The glass bone blow and phelic?

Speaker 4 (00:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (00:58):
Well, I did quite well on breakfast, and I didn't
keep up the tradition because you know, when I did
tourism Australia last year, I found the most monumental Aboriginal painting.
It was about six foot high, about four foot wide,
and it was based with tiny little brushstrokes. The whole
thing was individual.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Was that free?

Speaker 2 (01:15):
No, that was two thousand dollars, but I wish I
bought it. And then there was a painting of Dean's
Blue Hole up in Long Island.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Why is it blue?

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Two questions?

Speaker 2 (01:30):
Dean's Blue Hole where William Truebridge set the record for
the deepest die because I couldn't afford it at the time,
but I was like two thousand dollars as well, everything's
two thousand to four.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Need people to paint these things so you can keep
stealing them, can.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
You reach respectively? Go back and just you know, we
cost me a fortune to do that. But over time
I feel like I could have afforded it, and I
would have filled my house with beautiful mementos of the
trips I've done overseas.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
That's why you've brought correct.

Speaker 2 (02:00):
Yeah. So when I went to Morano recently, there was
a clock well, there was actually a beautiful set of
pictures and.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
What's Morano famous for glass?

Speaker 2 (02:08):
So I went to the glass blowing factory and there
was this wonderful picture of a big jug and not
sorry a picture, you know.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
Like a picture a jugging cups, yeah, jugging cups, but
a picture and goblets.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Thank you so inst that you went and.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
You and I said, I will have those goblets in
those cups. And they said that will be three thousand
dollars and I said, I can't affoord that I'll have
that clock up there? How much is that? They said
two hundred ninety dollars, And then I walked down the
road and I found it for one hundred and ninety dollars.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
You don't know is that clock actually wasn't for sale.

Speaker 4 (02:39):
It was just the clock they bug up on the
wall and they went for he wants the clock, just
give it to him.

Speaker 1 (02:44):
It wasn't even a Morano, damn it.

Speaker 4 (02:48):
No.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
We did something similar that. We had a family holiday
in Queenstown and in the hotel we stayed at this
incredible artwork on but it was little glass leaves and
the leaves were all like golden brown, like you know,
like like our town and queens done and autumn, stunning
piece of artwork. It kind of like fell out of
the wall, came towards three D and we looked around
at w inter receptions. So do you know the artists
it's a local artist power and they keep trying to

(03:09):
track this person down and they never Months later I
rang back and they didn't know what I had, the
room number of the artwork. They couldn't track it down.
And to this day I still regret that.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
Yeah, it's nice to have momentos, isn't it. I mean,
you'll always look at that clock and think what a
poor choice.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Do you know it wasn't the only pour choice I
made either.

Speaker 3 (03:27):
No, you don't know it's a poor choice. Here it
look might look great on your wall.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
I went to San Jiminiano and they are famous for
the best ice cream in the world. This is a
little place out of Florence, a little city, amazing, you know,
with parapets and big castle walls around the outside, famous
for lemons and famous for the best ice cream in
the world. And do you know what, I bought a
tiny scooter with Italian cuddles. No, not a model, it's

(03:54):

size as maybe an open laptop.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
