Speaker 1 (00:00):
Coast Breakfast brought to you by Bargain Chemist their Policy
New Zealand's cheapest chemist.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Tony Jason Sam's feel Good Breakfast Can't Shart podcast.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Today on Coast Breakfast with Tony Jason Sam, we talked
about the new technology as a grandparent or a parent
you might want to get for your kids so that
they're safe on their new smartphones.

Speaker 3 (00:20):
And speaking of technology, what about weight loss technology or
specifically ozempeg.

Speaker 4 (00:26):
Apparently the drug has just got even better again.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
We also talked about the bridges and breakfast that you
could join us on. That's all on Coast Breakfast. No
Jase today, he's still got the laryngitis, but don't you worry.
Sam Wallace has all the topicals you need today.

Speaker 4 (00:45):
Yeah, it's happened again. Stread it's happened again.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
For the well, there's been two similar instances in the
last eighteen months in New York and in Iowa.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Do we think this is a bit early to be
talking about this type of news.

Speaker 3 (00:57):
Yeah, maybe, but someone has been pronounced yet and then
woken up in this case at this particular Nebraska funeral
home on the embalming table. Does that make you feel
and more specifically, who was it worse for.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
What was happening on the embalming table, like were they
were they just putting on makeup or were they putting
in the fluid at that moment?

Speaker 5 (01:19):
You know what I'm saying, Like, are they still alive now?
Was my question?

Speaker 3 (01:23):
No, So the long and the short of this was
they on the schedule.

Speaker 4 (01:27):
It's not a happy story, I think. I think with
news like this it comes with a bit of a warning.
You know, you didn't give us one.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
When pronouncing someone, double check, that's the that's the first
place to start. So, yeah, they were at a a
Nebraska funeral home, and they were at a what's it
called a hospice and then they were pronounced dead, taken
to the embalming place, and then they woke up.

Speaker 4 (01:54):
And then when they.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Woke up, did they talk and say, hey, why am
I here? Or was it just was it just like
a shake of the body briefly and then they passed
away again?

Speaker 3 (02:03):
No, So workers started CPR, which is odd if they've
kind of shown signs of life, and then.

Speaker 6 (02:09):
Right alsome to do cbrdraw the one at some pore,
I reckon they had a little brief I'm awake, and
then kind of went into a coma again, and then
they went, they're actually alive, Let's try and get them
out of.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
This, yeah, or is it just is it just the
nerves and they were not actually alive?

Speaker 5 (02:27):
I don't know, this is I reckon it was the news.
Do you remember?

Speaker 1 (02:29):
This reminds me of the weird Wednesday story we heard
the other day? Remember that where the person had died
and they were meant to be cremated, but instead the
funeral home did something dodgy and just left them on
the floor. And then the ghost of the person was haunting.

Speaker 5 (02:46):
Her brother to say, I'm not where I need to be.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
Yeah, and he went and trace it down and lo
and behold they were just not being treated correctly. What
would have happened if they didn't choose the burial and
shows cremation at this point just throws.

Speaker 5 (03:00):
We all know exactly that one would have been up.
Thank you, Sam?

Speaker 7 (03:05):
Do you know what?

Speaker 4 (03:05):
I think?

Speaker 1 (03:05):
We need to move on to something a little more
positive on our Thursday warning?

Speaker 5 (03:10):
Did you watch the State of Origin last night? Sammy?

Speaker 4 (03:12):
Didn't I miss it?

Speaker 1 (03:13):
Queensland beat New South Wales thirty eighteen, very controversial.

Speaker 5 (03:16):
A player got sent off after seven minutes not to.

Speaker 3 (03:19):
Come back on oh once again referees dictating the outcome
of big matches.

Speaker 5 (03:23):
I think if you have a look at it, it was fair.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
Oh was it? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (03:25):
Okay, yeah, it's good cleaning up the game.

Speaker 1 (03:28):
I love it, although every person in New South Wales
probably won't agree with me. There we want to talk
about Bridgington now. Oh gosh, the Soaladair music just excites
me so much.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
You love it, don't you?

Speaker 5 (03:44):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
I love the era and particularly this new season. So
I have to say I lost my way a little
bit in season two. Love Season one they got rid
of the Duke of Hastings and we were all disappointed
for obvious reasons.

Speaker 5 (03:56):
Very handsome man. He went and tried to be James
Bond and then they.

Speaker 4 (03:59):
Didn't choose but then they reemployed him, yeah, which.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
Was a bit of a fail. So he's not in
this lazy season on. No, he's not in season three.
There are four episodes and all of them are amazing
and I am just waiting for the next one because
it's based around Penny Featherington and we found out in
season two that she is whistledown, the one who writes
the gossip column, so basically our version of spy or

(04:24):
e News.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Yeah, it's an interesting show. It's television perfection. It is brilliant,
but it's kind of a little bit upside down. Like
you've got a whole lot of very thirsty females looking
for partners, and a whole lot of men kind of
like not really taking them up on their opportunities.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
They only take them up when they find the one,
which I guess is right. Actually there were a few
thirsty males as well in this episode. Anyway, we are
so obsessed with it, and we know so many of
you are too. We've decided to host our own Bridgeton
high Tea and that's all thanks to Auckland's Hilton so
On during the fourteenth next week, next Friday, we're going

(05:00):
to celebrate the fact that the final episodes will be dropping,
So we're going to celebrate that morning. We're going to
have a whole Bridgeton themed show six.

Speaker 5 (05:08):
Till nine am. We might even started at five. So
if you want to join.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Us, all you have to do is text Bridgeton, which
is I always struggle to spell it b R. I
d G E R T O N to two six
nine nine, or you can go to Coast online dot
coen z to.

Speaker 5 (05:22):
Get all of the details.

Speaker 1 (05:23):
You could get your workmates together, you could get a
group of you. You could ask one of your besties
that loves it and join us. And you could even
dress up.

Speaker 4 (05:31):
And we are we are dressing up and strade. Who
are you coming?

Speaker 1 (05:34):
I have decided to come as the main character. I'm
going to come as Penny Featherington. Everything's based around.

Speaker 5 (05:41):
Her, you know, the one with the boosom.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
It's all up there on the shelf, isn't it, Which
is quite quite interesting.

Speaker 5 (05:47):
Do you think I'll be able to switch.

Speaker 4 (05:49):
Brilliantly? Who am I coming?

Speaker 5 (05:51):
All coming as well?

Speaker 1 (05:53):
We decided he'd come as Colin Featherington, who is actually
my love interest, which is a little awkward.

Speaker 4 (05:58):
It's fine.

Speaker 5 (05:59):
You can tell everyone he's got a big hit of here,
so we might need.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
And what are we doing to Pearl jas because he's
not here today, which means he's at the mercy of
our wardrobe decisions.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
It means we have a good opportunity, so actually give
us a text two six nine nine. Colin and Penny
here want to know who we should dreas Jase as
what character should he come as from Bridgeton if you've
seen it, And then we will go to the costume
dog after the show today.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
And he will be out. It's going to be a
great game.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
It sure is govy, semi glue, tight ozmpig, whatever you
call it. It is the weight loss drug that is
taking over not only Hollywood but the world. And wait
to hear the latest headlines, because it is starting to
sound like the perfect drug.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Is sam this is this is this is rich from
you because every time we have had this conversation about
weight loss surgery and weight loss drug, sam Ay said,
cheats way.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
Out, don't take shortcuts.

Speaker 5 (06:51):
But are you flipping?

Speaker 3 (06:53):
Well, I'll get to that because it's actually doing amazing things.
Wait to the third headlines. So the first one is
weight loss drug might be super judge our taste buds,
which is good?

Speaker 5 (07:02):
Is it? Does that not make us hungry? No?

Speaker 3 (07:05):
I think what that means is that we taste food
and we go I feel satiated.

Speaker 4 (07:08):
Now with us, I will stop satiating.

Speaker 5 (07:10):
Isn't that a great Now?

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Listen to the second one could double as a kidney
disease treatment bonus.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Okay, hang on, So let's just talk about that, because
when it first came out, everyone was like, don't take
the drug off the diabetics, But now the diabetics are
on it, the people with kidney issues and who else
does it help?

Speaker 4 (07:28):
Weight loss?

Speaker 3 (07:28):
Drug could reduce heart attacks by twenty percent is the
latest headline. So they're calling it the biggest medical breakthrough
since statins had had a twenty percent lower risk of
heart attack, stroke, or death due to cardiovascular ses disease.
Sixteen thousand people in the study, and eight thousand of
those were on semi glue tide and it was a
significant difference between the control groups.

Speaker 5 (07:50):
So I have a question.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
There is the fact that is the drug making you
lose weight, which then means you have less chance of
a heart attack, or is it actually act stopping you
have a heart attack, not just the weight side.

Speaker 4 (08:02):
I don't know. I don't know the answer to that.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Interesting, it's miraculous, especially when you consider cuddiovascular disease, New
Zealand's biggest killer.

Speaker 4 (08:09):
It's a third of all deaths in this country.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
And if you're someone sitting there with a predisposition for
heart issues, it might be be maybe we can get
up from this.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
It's just another wonderful excuse to get it. And if
you are wondering how to get it? Have you heard
this ad on the radio?

Speaker 4 (08:23):
Now?

Speaker 3 (08:24):
I don't know what drug they're talking about, because this
is a drug trial.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
This brick my.

Speaker 8 (08:28):
Interest carry weight around your tummy. M ZCR is looking
for people to participate in a clinical trial called Dear
to help research potential new diabetes treatments. You'll spend five
nights at our world class clinic and be taken care
of by our friendly medical team. Follow Up visits can
fit around your schedule. This study involves an investigational drug

(08:48):
and there are unknown risks. You'll be reimbursed up to
eighty five hundred dollars less tax for your involvement.

Speaker 7 (08:54):
So where do we sign up?

Speaker 5 (08:56):
I reckon you might answer issues with that six mack eight.

Speaker 4 (09:00):
It's wonderful.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
I just like five nights away from the kids.

Speaker 5 (09:05):
This is Coast Breakfast.

Speaker 4 (09:07):
God.

Speaker 5 (09:07):
I love that song. It's so uplifting, isn't it?

Speaker 4 (09:09):
What we need?

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Certainly is especially if you have argued with your partner
last night?

Speaker 5 (09:15):
Did you have an argument, SAMMI, Oh no, not.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
Really not really the day to day there's always I've.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Got I've got the answer of you. I think archie
bargie and intimates physical argument. You're not aving those.

Speaker 4 (09:32):
Oh no, no. If I did, I'd lose none of that, so.

Speaker 5 (09:36):
Would my husband.

Speaker 1 (09:38):
So I stumbled across this and I thought, this is
a really good thing to consider the next time you
are arguing. So it's from Meat Underscore the Freeman's and
they are essentially relationship coaches. They're a couple, but they
give you really good tips and advice, and I started
following them and it really rings true.

Speaker 5 (09:57):
So this is what I read.

Speaker 1 (09:58):
Many arguments occur because you and your partner are actually
having two different conversations.

Speaker 5 (10:04):
Okay, does that make sense to you?

Speaker 4 (10:05):
Yeah, yes, sir.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
Okay, So what they're talking about here is one of
you is talking about your feelings. The other is trying
to talk about logic, which one of those of you
saying logic, I think most males.

Speaker 4 (10:17):
Are Yeah, yeah, what are you study?

Speaker 1 (10:20):
I think I fall into the gray area a bit
of a logic, bit of feeling, depending whether I'm experiencing
strong perimenopausal symptoms or not.

Speaker 4 (10:29):
So it is the same as Jace as well. See
Jason would be on the emotional side as well, and so.

Speaker 5 (10:34):
No, I think his wife's the logic. I think Jason's
so yeah, probably right there.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
Okay, so what do we do about this? This is
what I like about this page. It tells us what
to do solutions. Don't give me problems, give me solutions.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
Study.

Speaker 5 (10:45):
So, first of all, one of you is sharing how something.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
Has impacted you emotionally, and the other is focused on
how it wasn't their intention to do so. So you're
essentially saying I didn't mean to offend you, but I'm saying,
but I was offended and I'm sad about that.

Speaker 5 (11:00):
And so now you're arguing.

Speaker 1 (11:02):
You're and you keep going to me but I didn't
mean to and I said, I know that, but you
still hurt me.

Speaker 7 (11:06):
You've still got a problem here.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
And do you know that actually translates to kids too,
you know, like when there's a fight or say, for instance, yesterday,
I'm a little girl because he slipped over and bangsyne
her knee and grace it. What I found is that
if you please the fact that they're injured, like I
know you're injured, it's going to be Okay, if you
give them the fact that they're injured, it's almost like
curing the problem.

Speaker 4 (11:27):
Yes, does that makes sense?

Speaker 1 (11:28):
And I have that exact problem with my own kids too,
because let's say Juliet will accidentally Knocklocky and she'll go
but I didn't mean to, And I'm like, you could
still show some empathy because he's still crying. I know
you didn't mean to, but can you still go see
if he's okay?

Speaker 4 (11:43):
On undred percent?

Speaker 5 (11:44):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (11:44):
So the reason we do this is one of you
is talking about the present situation. The other is trying
to talk about the unresolved past. So the problem is
we're not just dealing with that, we're also dealing with
the fact that you didn't empty the dishwasher that morning.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
That's that's the emotional person is dealing is bringing up
the past.

Speaker 5 (12:01):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
So one of you is trying to provide feedback to
be better, the other is perceiving it as personal criticism.
So next time you have an argument, just think.

Speaker 5 (12:09):
About those two sides.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Now, if you're the logic, have a bit more empathy,
And if you're the EmPATH maybe just you know.

Speaker 4 (12:14):
Don't bring up the past.

Speaker 5 (12:17):
I don't know it's man versus Woman.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Coasts Feel Good Breakfast catch up podcast with Tony Street,
Jays Reeves and Sam Wallace.

Speaker 1 (12:28):
Chase Away today and we're talking ironically about sickly and
he is taking a sick day today.

Speaker 3 (12:33):
And that's a really good point, like who's ticked the
box in terms of the business there? Has he gone
and tick the box saying I've had a sick day?
Or is that up to our boss to go and
tick that? You know, we are at the mercy of
the people around us.

Speaker 5 (12:43):
I think it is up to your managers.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
And the reason we're talking about this today is the
Holidays Act, which was set in two thousand and three,
is being looked at by the government and they're saying,
particularly if you're a part time or casual worker, they
need to relook at how sick days are applied. For example,
most people in New Zealand get ten days sick leave
a year, but here it used to be five.

Speaker 4 (13:05):
Didn't that?

Speaker 5 (13:05):
Yeah, well I don't know.

Speaker 1 (13:07):
But for the whole time when I started at TVNZ
in two thousand and six, I was on ten days
a year.

Speaker 5 (13:11):
Right.

Speaker 1 (13:12):
The problem you have there is I was a full time,
salaried employee. If you are then casual, let's say you
work one day a week, you still got the ten
sick days a year. Are saying it should be pro rated,
which is not great news if you are a casual
employee today.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
I have a little line here from an article. The
changes could include switching annually from an entitlement system as
you said to in a cruel system, and pro rating
sick leave, which.

Speaker 1 (13:38):
Is exactly what would happen, so you wouldn't end up
with ten, you'd end up with much less.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
But you are only a part time You only get
a half a day or half a day off.

Speaker 5 (13:47):
You can only be sick for two hours.

Speaker 1 (13:49):
The other problem here is it's very complex, so I
don't know if you've ever gone into your We have
a system called affinity here at en Zed mean you
go in and you try and work out how much
and you'll leave you've got owing and how much sick leave,
And it is like looking at Calculus or X pie squid,
like I don't know how much is.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
Sitting there, and I don't even know the logins for infinity,
So someone could be really taking mickey on me.

Speaker 1 (14:16):
You've noticed I've got more leave from you. At stealing
your leave as.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
We can the bosses just as sign and take away
days willy nilly, just to keep the books bells.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
Well, I don't think they can. It's something you bring
up a good point. The reason they're doing this is
because a whole lot of people have missed out on
entitled leave. And I tell you what, it actually did
happen to me when I was working at TV and Z.
There was a massive glitch in the system and I
wouldn't have known if they hadn't told me. But they
were honest, and they came to the party and said,
a whole lot of people have been underpaid their annual

(14:47):
leave and sick leave. And the ones that were affected
got an envelope placed on their desk and I was
one of these people.

Speaker 4 (14:53):
You afer an envelope, No, it was.

Speaker 5 (14:56):
An envelope telling me how much I was Can you
imagine this?

Speaker 4 (14:59):
I get?

Speaker 5 (15:00):
And everyone was like, oh, I've you got a old lope?

Speaker 3 (15:02):
I do?

Speaker 9 (15:02):
I do?

Speaker 1 (15:03):
And then you went over and this is me as
like a twenty two year old zero money. And I
opened my envelope and there was five hundred.

Speaker 5 (15:11):
Dollars owing to me, and it was one of the best.

Speaker 7 (15:12):
Days of my life.

Speaker 4 (15:13):
Oh, this is good, this is a little bit scandalous
this morning. We want to hear your stories. When have
you been robbed of leave or had a little bit
of a payout? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (15:21):
When is it all turned to custard? I wait one
hundred double O four coast or you can text us.
On two six nine nine, yesterday the government announced that
they will be looking into and making potentially some really
big changes to the Holidays Act. Specifically if you're a
part time or casual worker around your sick leave.

Speaker 5 (15:39):
They're looking at pro ratering it if that's.

Speaker 4 (15:41):
The worst a cruel over entitlement.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yes, but also cleaning it up because so many people
have had their annual leave and sick leave botched. If
you go and look at it, I've looked at mine
before and it's got minuses and a crude here and
taken here And.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
Have you got how many sick days you got? There?
Have you?

Speaker 1 (15:58):
I can't tell you, I don't and you literally don't know.
So when was your leave botched up?

Speaker 5 (16:05):
Erin? What's your issue with your leave?

Speaker 4 (16:09):
I'm a nurse?

Speaker 1 (16:11):
More?

Speaker 5 (16:11):
Yeah, say no more? All right? How does it we
have we have had dribs and drabs of little bits
here and there, And to be honest, personally, I've completely
lost count of what I'm.

Speaker 9 (16:22):
Owed and what's joe.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
And there's a little bit of pay equity, and there's
a little bit of annual leave, and there's a little
bit of sick pay, and I've got no idea.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
No, And I think.

Speaker 4 (16:31):
Everyone feels the same way.

Speaker 3 (16:32):
They just feel lost in the system, which means you're
you're at the mercy of your employer.

Speaker 10 (16:37):
You know, I get a little a little bit of
my bank account every now and then I think.

Speaker 11 (16:40):
Oh, oh, there's a little bit more, and then nothing.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
I totally agree with you. I think it's just so missy,
So clarity will be good. At least you'll know where
you stand. Thanks erin what about you know what's happened
with your leave? Tell us about your leave?

Speaker 7 (16:54):
No, you're I was.

Speaker 10 (16:56):
Working for a couple of several places. I'm about is
what I was believing crew for going sickly And you
can't get it, like like, I don't expect you get it.

Speaker 9 (17:08):
I don't know how they're going to do it. But
you don't get rewarded for not taking days.

Speaker 11 (17:12):
Off the.

Speaker 7 (17:14):
Healthy.

Speaker 5 (17:15):
No, you don't and I know this too.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
You should go about one hundred sick days owing to
me at TV indeed, but you can still only have
ten a year, which is weird because you're a good employee. No,
that doesn't take the mickey. What about the ones that
take all twenty year out?

Speaker 4 (17:31):
A lot of people do. But yeah, maybe you should
be a bonus.

Speaker 3 (17:35):
There should be a bonus system for attend It's like
remember at school, if you got one hundred percent attendance.

Speaker 4 (17:38):
You've got a certificate. I'll give you a certificate.

Speaker 9 (17:41):
Now you're right there, like it's people said, oh, I
just started taking every Friday off, But you can't go
and get enought certificate when you're healthy.

Speaker 7 (17:52):
No you can't go.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
No, No, you're not going this system right, It's.

Speaker 9 (17:58):
Just what it's been like for forty seven years at
the trade. I'll always yet.

Speaker 5 (18:03):
No, you're what they call a good samaritan.

Speaker 1 (18:06):
You're a good samaritan, and unfortunately, good people often don't
get rewarded.

Speaker 4 (18:10):
Yeah, you're a model student. You'll be punished for it.

Speaker 1 (18:13):
Don't you love how we're talking about rewarding people for
just turning up? But we're at that point because so
many people do take.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
The mickey, the world's upside down, that that should be
the normal.

Speaker 5 (18:22):
But I think the norm.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
I think one hundred percent attendance there should be more
than a certificate.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
Yeah, but you all know the people that take the
mickey on the system, don't you. You know that they're
in your office and you know who they are.

Speaker 5 (18:31):
You can't say that today when Jason isn't.

Speaker 3 (18:33):
Here, Jason Ree, it's time for our Paper Plus book review.

Speaker 1 (18:41):
Paper Plus is locally owned, friendly people, great advice. I
can attest to that every time I go into a
Paper Plus. They're great people.

Speaker 4 (18:47):
It's a good place to be.

Speaker 5 (18:48):
Yeah, and they have wonderful books.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
And today we're talking about the life of die and
we've recently talked to die he would.

Speaker 4 (18:54):
Yeah, and you've done the work, you've read the book.

Speaker 7 (18:56):
Yeah, I have.

Speaker 5 (18:57):
One of us has got to read the book.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
Performing Sam just watched the movie Unfortunately, Die Heindwood. Actually,
it's funny, funny we say that Die Heindwood has got
a documentary coming out about his cancer journey. And if
you don't know die Heinwood, he is the funny man
from Seven Days. He's been on heaps of different comedies pretty.

Speaker 3 (19:18):
Much won every comedy award in this country. He's a
very very funny man.

Speaker 1 (19:21):
Yeah, so what I loved about his book is a
very easy read, so you don't have to be a
big learned reader with all these deep themes. It's written
super conversational, really humorous in patches as well with practical help,
and I think it absolutely is a must for anyone
going through a scary diagnosis. He's written it in conjunction

(19:42):
with Jackie Brown Ok, who herself is a very successful author.
She had a whole lot of books about pregnancy that
I loved. I love knowing the backstory of Die Heindwood
because I didn't know it before. I knew him as
someone in our industry, one of New Zealand's funniest people.
But I did know lots of things, Like I did
know that he grew up in a massive theater family.

(20:04):
His dad is a Thespian and he grew up going
to the theater every single day.

Speaker 5 (20:08):
And his mum is New Zealand's third female judge. Did
you know that?

Speaker 3 (20:13):
Who knew that? That's a hell of a contrast, aren't
they opposing worlds? An interesting marriage?

Speaker 1 (20:18):
That's exactly what I thought. I particularly enjoyed the story.
And this shows what type of woman I think his
mother is. He was born via cesarean, so you think
of if you had a cyyrian, now you're staying in hospital.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
He's really gone back to the start on this one, isn't.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
He Well, you're in hospital, aren't you with a cesarean
for at least three or four days? Whereas if you
give birth naturally often they'll get ridy of that same day.
These days, his mother, on that day after having a cesarean,
went straight to the theater to watch Dye's Dad before
with Little Die Little only hours old Die after a
caesarean Wow, and went and sat in the audience and

(20:55):
made sure that she didn't.

Speaker 5 (20:55):
Miss that show.

Speaker 4 (20:56):
It's amazing.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
I know, I thought it was just awesome. Love is
the overarching theme of the book. So Die is encouraging
everyone to find their joy however you can get it,
and you have to enjoy what you do and nothing
in your life as a chore. And I think when
you read his story, you realize that he loved making
people laugh very early on, and he decided, this is
what I'm going to do for my entire life.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
Gosh and He's made that flow on to the fact
that while he's battling this terrible cancer diagnosis, he comes
in here like a little rare sunshine, doesn't He's finding
the joy in every.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
Moment, and he has incurable cancer. I loved his mentality.
He talks a lot about how Buddhism has shaped him.
He talks about times when he was in London flatting
with the boys from Flight of the Concords and they
were all cracking it, and he was sitting on the couch,
not cracking it, and he was really happy for them,
but also really envious of the fact that they were
steaming ahead and he wasn't. And his time eventually came,

(21:49):
but he just had to stick out a little bit longer.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
It's so funny that Die kind of looks upon those instances,
is not cracking it.

Speaker 4 (21:56):
Because I've been following his career for years.

Speaker 3 (21:57):
I want to go watch at the town Hall, and
in my opinion, he's always been cracking it.

Speaker 4 (22:01):
You know.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
Possibly the most revealing thing in the whole book is
how he talks about when he was dumped from seven
Days and he was I think a lot of people
assumed he just moved on, but no he didn't. So
get the book. It's called Life of Die.

Speaker 4 (22:14):
Good Chasers on Coast.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
The Chases today, six hundred dollars. You had such a
good run with story.

on my debt not you, Carrie.

Speaker 4 (23:12):
You're going to blow it and we love that about you.

Speaker 1 (23:14):

what do you get out of five.

Speaker 6 (23:22):
Varies between two three, sometimes on a good day.

Speaker 1 (23:25):
Four Okay, Okay, well, I reckon this today is probably
a past three or possibly even a part four. I
think it's actually a relatively easy quiz. I always hate
saying that.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
Kaye, don't be the day that you actually get a five,
because that would that would really blow it for me today.

Speaker 5 (23:39):
All right, we're going to send the batler out of
studio now. He did get a full.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
Yesterday, and I mean does he normally repeat two good performances?

Speaker 5 (23:47):
I'm not sure about that.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
Okay, Kirie, are you ready? You're playing for six hundred dollars?

Just let such storage start or something.

Speaker 5 (24:39):
Oh gosh, you're very very close.

Speaker 1 (24:42):
But it's wrong. But hey, two out of five is
not bad at all. Bring the battler back in. You're
chasing it two out of five Sammy on the board. Yeah,
it's okay.

Speaker 4 (24:52):
At the end there, what's going on?

Speaker 1 (24:54):
Well, no, because we were just looking for a specific
answer on question five, and it is a question that
I think think you would be quite good at. But
if you don't get the exact answer, we won't give
it to you either. Okay, So you need a two
out of five to stop Kiriy getting the cash.

Speaker 5 (25:08):

Speaker 2 (26:21):
Your daily feel good breakfast catch up podcast with Costs,
Tony Jason, Sam.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
This is potentially quite a juicy one. I want you
to go to your phone now and go to your
albums and scroll all the way down to past all
of your your videos. Yourself is your live photos, you portraits,
your long exposures, past your screenshots and pass your imports
and duplicates and into your hidden photo file.

Speaker 5 (26:46):
I've only just clopped that that has been sitting there
all along.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
Which is particularly useful for you because you share profiles
with your kids.

Speaker 1 (26:54):
Yeah, but you would think I'd know about it. And
I'm looking at my hidden file is empty.

Speaker 5 (26:57):
I swear, look at that now, photos of.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
Dy, a little separate pass code and everything like that.
She put all sorts of naughty things in there.

Speaker 5 (27:04):
What are you putting in yours? Do I want to
know that?

Speaker 4 (27:08):
Street? How do you?

Speaker 3 (27:09):
I have one of the most wholesome hidden photo files
on the planet.

Speaker 5 (27:14):
If anyone was going to have, and would you.

Speaker 12 (27:17):
I would that. Actually there's a whole folder of those,
but they're not hidden. So what I've got in my
hidden photo file is a video of me and my.

Speaker 3 (27:36):
Me and my father in law sitting in a car,
and it's the moment that I asked him if I
can ask his daughter to marry me.

Speaker 4 (27:43):
Finding that I filmed it because.

Speaker 5 (27:45):
We've got why why is it hidden? Like do you
not want to see that?

Speaker 3 (27:49):
Well, because I filmed it because I was going to
make it into a wonderful video one day, And so
I didn't want on my phone because if my wife
saw that, she'd see me asking her dad to to
marry her before she asked.

Speaker 5 (28:01):
Her so why is it still hidden?

Speaker 4 (28:02):
His question?

Speaker 3 (28:03):
Yes, because I think, yeah, just be complacent. And then
there's all the pictures of the different decisions is making
in terms of the ring purchases.

Speaker 5 (28:10):
Are they in their two they're in.

Speaker 4 (28:11):
There as well.

Speaker 5 (28:12):
Look that's actually really.

Speaker 4 (28:13):
Cool, so wholesome, and look it's so wholesome. Of surprised myself.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
Yeah, I'm sure there is another folder, like actually real hidden,
there's another folder there is.

Speaker 3 (28:24):
Not just what you guys say, I have a very
boring life, all right, keep telling.

Speaker 5 (28:29):
Yourself that, mate.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
You know what, I actually think I could use this
hidden photo thing.

Speaker 5 (28:34):
How do you get into it? By the way, do
you have to put a code on?

Speaker 3 (28:36):
You know?

Speaker 4 (28:36):
You just go right to the bottom and you just
add photos to it.

Speaker 5 (28:39):
Then how do you get if you got into my phone?

Speaker 4 (28:43):
Yeah, I wouldn't be able to do it because I
don't have the past past.

Speaker 5 (28:45):
Yeah all my eyes okay, because sometimes you hack into.

Speaker 3 (28:48):
My phone and and I've seen all you hidden photos
are atrocious?

Speaker 5 (28:54):
Did I tell you what I reckon? I would put in.

Speaker 4 (28:55):
This head not having a boring life, Tony, he's.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
So full of it I would put in because I
screen rab potential Christmas presents all the time, and I
think I could put those in my hidden photo file
absolutely because at the moment my kids know what they're
getting because they just scroll through my phone because they
do know my past.

Speaker 4 (29:14):
Go nothing is.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
Nothing is sacred when you're a mom, is it? Everyone
knows your business?

Speaker 4 (29:19):
Yep, yep they do.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
Apart from that second hidden secret folder with the swing
and the bits and bobs, I really.

Speaker 1 (29:25):
Wish I had a secret folder stand but I do
have a very boring life. Are you already operating your
hidden photos file? And if you are, what other things
are you putting in it?

Speaker 7 (29:36):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Eight hundred double O four coast or you can text
us on two six.

Speaker 4 (29:40):
Nine little monkeys got it there?

Speaker 5 (29:44):
We're talking hidden photos this.

Speaker 4 (29:45):
Morning, and mine being the most wholesome of our whole
radio group.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
Here we haven't see you hidden photo.

Speaker 4 (29:52):
You can come and have a look, mate, you want.

Speaker 5 (29:55):
To see a picture of any of the regions.

Speaker 4 (29:58):
The little frank it's not even in there. This is
this is what isn't there?

Speaker 3 (30:02):
Though?

Speaker 4 (30:03):
Listen to this? How wholesome is this? Would you please
allow me to marry your daughter.

Speaker 7 (30:09):
Beg pause, Jez, Sam is a sun in Lord.

Speaker 4 (30:20):
It took a while from Roscoe, didn't. We had a
good old thing about that.

Speaker 5 (30:23):
And then eventually said yes, I love that he kept
you hanging.

Speaker 1 (30:26):
And we are getting quite a few texts on the
text line the hiding my daughter's birth photos and video.
I get that a lot of people, Sam, you should
hide yours. You should think about putting those in your
hidden photo because he whips them out it on any occasion.

Speaker 4 (30:40):
What a process though.

Speaker 3 (30:41):
I've got a photo of an amnieric sac bursting and
it is just one of the great greatest moments.

Speaker 5 (30:46):
There's a lot of health texts.

Speaker 1 (30:48):
Actually, another person says they hide the photos the surgeon
took inside my bladder during surgery.

Speaker 4 (30:53):
Inside you keep that?

Speaker 3 (30:57):
What about you, Rosie, producer, Rosie, What's what's the state
of yours?

Speaker 1 (31:02):
In there? You have a hidden photos fire but progress
photos and things you know for the gym.

Speaker 5 (31:08):
Oh before and after. Gosh, Sam, I don't want any
random person seeing those.

Speaker 4 (31:16):
Post those.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
We want to talk phones now, and specifically phones for
our children. And I am absolutely in this world at
the moment because I have an eleven year old that
is begging me for a phone, and I am being
at the moment the mean mum saying no, I don't
feel comfortable about it. I don't want you on social
media sites. I don't want you getting text by people
that could potentially bully you.

Speaker 3 (31:40):
But a phone is also a wonderful safety measure if
used correctly.

Speaker 1 (31:43):
And I am finding that because she's now going to
theater rehearsals late at night and I do want to
get in touch with her. Bring on in a new
piece of technology called safe Surfer, which essentially allows you
to have more control over your children's phones.

Speaker 5 (31:58):
Rory burk Beck.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Is the sea and founder of this. Rory, what an
amazing thing you are doing. How much uptak are you're getting?

Speaker 11 (32:07):
Oh hi, Tony, Yeah, No, we're getting an incredible uptake.
I mean this week, we are really excited to announce
this kid say smartphone and a range of tablets, and
we've been able to partner with Samsung, who's obviously one
of the largest manufacturers of phones in the world. So
it's just a really exciting time for us and for parents.

Speaker 4 (32:27):
So how does that work?

Speaker 3 (32:28):
Obviously Samsung holds the infrastructure. Are you playing technology and
code into those phones to provide the service.

Speaker 4 (32:35):
How does it work?

Speaker 11 (32:37):
Yeah, that's right, we really are so we provide the software.
So I've been on this journey with safe Surf for
eight years. Started it really as a concerned dad myself
with another dad.

Speaker 4 (32:51):
And just just saw.

Speaker 11 (32:52):
A myriad of issues online. And so we've kind of
been developing the technology part of it, which is what
I say, has kind of been missing. So I guess
the point that I would make is that safety, largely
to this point, has been thought of as an after fact.
So a lot of parental controls just don't really work,
and so the safety itself hasn't been built into the phone.

(33:14):
So the partnership between safe Surfer and Samsung means that
we can give parents a dashboard and they can control
every element of the phone, and they can actually get
monitored use or monitored access to seeing, you know, if
there's any particular incidence that might be popping up, bullying
or self harm or grooming or anything like that.

Speaker 5 (33:36):
I love that. And then eventually, as your kids get older.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
My understanding is you can give them more control, perhaps
add apps when you think they're ready privileges.

Speaker 11 (33:47):
Yeah, exactly, So out of the box, it comes with calls, text,
a camera, you know, so it is a smartphone, but
it's just got those really simple apps that you kind
of just need, so you know, like it's got the
smart keyboard and they can still do a couple of
emojis and things like that, but it's just really simple.

(34:07):
And so then the access is over to the parent
and so as the child grows the matures, they can
decide at what point, you know, the kid might step
up to another app or something, and so you can
really just have those essential apps, so maybe like a
reading app like Epic, which a lot of kids use
for school without having to have the whole internet, you know.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
Or you're doing a great job. And I love also
that the phone is cool. It has all the wicked features,
which means kids are going to want it, and now
grandparents and parents are going to feel safe about buying
these as well.

Speaker 5 (34:41):
So congratulations, do you well done? Toe dung it.

Speaker 1 (34:44):
We need to talk about Netflix now because they have
a particular documentary that is getting everyone talking, and it's
about a woman called Miranda Derek. Now you might not
know her name, but odds are your grandkids or your
kids might she's at It's Miranda Derek on Instagram.

Speaker 4 (35:02):
One point six million followers.

Speaker 5 (35:04):
Thank you and what she does.

Speaker 1 (35:06):
The reason she's so popular is because she dances largely
to old school music, music that you would hear here
on coast right.

Speaker 5 (35:14):
Very popular.

Speaker 1 (35:15):
But her parents and her sister have gone to Netflix
and they've said she's actually in a cult.

Speaker 5 (35:23):
I don't even know where to start. Today. It is
my sister's birthday. We're not allowed to contact her, and
we're blocked on absolutely everything.

Speaker 4 (35:30):
We have two daughters, we don't just.

Speaker 5 (35:32):
Have all the dancers that she danced with. Someone else
is controlling their lives.

Speaker 4 (35:38):
I don't want to say I was in a cult.

Speaker 5 (35:40):
How did I let myself get sicked into something like that?

Speaker 4 (35:43):
Wow?

Speaker 5 (35:45):
So who you were hearing from?

Speaker 1 (35:46):
There were a couple of dances that were part of
this seven M They call it this sort of it's
actually a talent agency. So this guy has managed to
get all of these dances with heaps of followers, and
they do dances on TikTok and Instagram, and he says,
come and see me, come and join me, and I'll
help get you publicity and get you cash. You can
start making money out of your craft now Before this,

(36:07):
a lot of them were struggling dances and they want
to keep doing what they love and they want to
earn money for it.

Speaker 4 (36:12):
Well, the old talent trap. That's not a new one, though,
is it.

Speaker 3 (36:15):
Come join my agency, pay for the photos, pay for
this will make you rich and famous and yeah.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
So what the people who were in it that have
got out have said is essentially that's how it begins,
and they are a talent agency that they continuing to
do these dances.

Speaker 4 (36:28):
But they live there, do they But there's.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
No that they live in their own houses. But it's
also part of a religious there's a religious element to
it as well, so they are they all go to church. Now,
Miranda Derek was already Catholic. Her family was Catholic, so
she was a religious person anyway. But now she hasn't
seen her parents for over a year. And I've watched
the first couple of episodes of this documentary. She didn't

(36:50):
even make it back to her grandfather's funeral, and the
parents and her sister are saying, we had this very
close child and now she's been sucked into this talent
agency slash check ch situation and she's cutting off all
her friends and family, and that can't be a good thing.

Speaker 3 (37:05):
No, but this she is on social media and still
just posting videos like she's free. It's not like Gloria
Vale that you kind of caught up in a commune
or anything, is it.

Speaker 5 (37:13):
Yeah? But then is that just all a mask or
a smoke screen. We don't know.

Speaker 1 (37:17):
And even in the past year where she's been estrange
from the family, she's got married, didn't invite her parents
or a sister to the wedding.

Speaker 5 (37:24):
And these are the two.

Speaker 1 (37:25):
Sisters you see in the documentary. They grew up dancing together.
That was their thing. They were very, very close, and
suddenly they're not. Now, just in the last few days,
Miranda Derek has come out and said, no, there's.

Speaker 5 (37:37):
No issues here.

Speaker 1 (37:37):
I just disagree with my family. But that's not what
the people who have got out of there are saying.
It's a bit like I guess when you talk about
Gloria Veil, they say the same thing. The people that
escape say, when you're in there, you're quite indoctrinated.

Speaker 3 (37:50):
Well, how of a doctrination as well, like come together,
join our group and do some synchronized dance moves.

Speaker 4 (37:55):
You know, it's weird isn't it.

Speaker 5 (37:57):
It's bizarre.

Speaker 1 (37:57):
So if you want to watch this, it's called Dancing
for the Devil and it's on Netflix, and I think
I'm really enjoying it. I'm only halfway through, but I
also think it's probably quite a good thing to watch,
just if you've got kids that are on social media
and you're just not sure whether sort of monetizing it
is the right way forward or not and what are
the loopholes in the pitfalls?

Speaker 3 (38:18):
That's right, But if it isn't being monetized at the stage,
it's this cult called seven m you'.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
Say that Tony Jason Sam's feel good breakfast catch up podcast.
